A steamer Aground In a Fog.

BosroN, July 31-The Boston and
Hinghsm Company's steamer Rose Stand
ish last evening left Nantasket for Boston
on her last trip at $50 O'Clock with 500
passengers aboard. AS she touched at
Pembertcn dense fog settled down and
the vessel remained at the pier. At 3:45
A. M. the tog lifted and the steamer pro-
seeded, but within ten minutes the fog
again closed in. The vessel kept on, how
aver, stsaming slowly. A few minutes
later she grounded with heavy shock.
The passengers were badly frightened, and
several of the women tainted. The fog
soon lifted, and it was found that the yes
sci was hard and fast on Georges Island,
on which Fort Warren stands. At about
1880 this morning the Rose Standish hoated
off and was towed into port, the passen-
gors having been brought here aboard of
two tug-boats which sighted the steamer
about o'clock.

Fitz John Porter accused.

wAsHrseroN, July 3l.-Bug. General
Philip st. G. Cook, retired, has fled
charges at the War Department against
General Fitz John Porter, growing out Of
e report made by the latter in regard to
the conduct of the former at Gaines Mills
at the beginning of the Seven Days Fight
in June, 1868, when Gen. Porter COM
msndsd the Fifth Army Corps, and Gen.
Cook commanded a brigade of cavalry. 1t
is alleged that Gen. Porter reported that
Gen. Cook mismanaged his troops on that
occasion, and did more harm than good to
his cause. Since then Gen. Cook has as
serted that the report is false an malicious,
and is understood that he now asks that
the facts be investigated. No action
has yet been taken in the matter by the
Secretary of War, and there is strong
impression in the Department that none is
contemplated.

CINCINNATI, July 31.-One of the most
remarkable religious manias of which there
is any record has broken out in q little cir
Gle in this city. A party of thirty or forty
people, most of them prominent and above
the average intelligence, believe that Mrs.
John B. Martin. of Walnut Hills, is Christ
manifest in the flesh and that her
sister. Mrs. John F. Brook, is the
Holy Ghost. The followers of these
two women meet at Mrs. Brooks
house and worship them both. Mrs. Mar
tin has exerted some strange and.wonder-
full influence that has put them completely
in her power, and they are fanatics on the
subject. One of the followers of this
woman Christ is man named Jerome.
He was book keeper for the Cincinnati
agency of d. Appleton 4 Co., the New
York publishers. He gave up his position
of 81 800 a year to serve the female Sa-
viour of mankind. To reporter who saw
him on Saturday he said in an earnest
and eloquent conversation: ST have seen
God face to face in the last half hour" A
young man named Cooke, who works in
the auditors office Of the Adams Express
Company, has also been captured. He re-
signed his position and has attached him.

mediately upon receipt of this letter
Governor Ireland addressed letter
to Secretary Of State Bayard, in which he
concludes, after saying the Texan officers
who illegally arrested the victim and de-
livered him to the Mexican authorities,
will be summarily prosecuted, that nothing
in palliation of the murder has or can be
offered by the Mexican authorities,
"and demand in the name of the State and
its people that this wrong by Mexico be atoned
for and punished If this State and her people
must depend upon themselves for protection
the necessary redress can and will be Obtained
The Governor has revoked the COM
mission of Joseph Hoffstetter as Extradi-
ton Agent. The affair causes great deal
of excitement among the authorities and
citizens Of Austin. Gov. Ireland says that
if the Federal Government does not do
something, Texas will act in the matter.
Another dispatch from Dallas, Texas,
says 'sThe feeling of frendlinsss which had
begun to exist in Texas towards Mexico
has been reversed by the Cutting and
other outrages to one of intense resent

movement, though to lesser extent, Is 60

Adjutant-G General is daily resolving appli-
cations for permission to raise volunteer
companies, ana Capt. Sicker, of the Adju-
tant- Generals staff, states that if required
he can have 10000 men in motion within
thirty days. The warlike feeling is intesi-
fed by the recital of American citizens Of
outrages experienced in Mexico, over which
they heretofore were silent at the instance
Of their employers, who feared the effect
of exposure upon their business in Mex
leo.
In the event Of Cutting being sent to a
Mexican penitentiary it will be difficult to
restrain the people of Texas from an irreg-

For $4,000 for Libel.
NEW York. July S1.-Considerable ex-
element prevailed in and about the
Sheriff office to-day over the arrest
of II. Hofmeister, President of the
Tolks-Zeitung Cooperative Publishing
Company. and Moritz Hoffman, the bust
ness manager of Tolcs- Zeitung, at the in
stance of Paul Bauer, of West Brighton
Beach. who has brought civil suit for
$50. 900 damages for criminal libel against
them, and also against Mr.. Schewitch, the
editor of the paper. The order FOR the
arrest Of the three defendants was issued
by Judge Peckham, who fixed bail in each
case at ST, 600. To-day they were taken to
the Sheriffs Office and furnishing the
necessary bail were released. The suit is
the result of an article printed in the
Voles. Zs;tung On July II, which declared
that Bauer had broken the promise he had
made to his waters and bartcnders con-
cerning the employment Of Union men. !.
A report that Schevitsch had been lodged
in Jail by reason of his inability to give bail
was declared to be without foundation.
Mr.. Schevitsch will be in town Mondsay
morning, and will then furnish the SherlH
with the required amount of bail.

SUNDAY. AUGUST /, 1886.

The Hoboken Aldermen have invented a
system by which contracts can be given to
any bidder they select without regard to
competition. prices or any other consider
alton. This is an idea municipal corpora
tons have long struggled with, but until
now no plan has been evolved that gave
promise of working successfully. But the
Hoboken Aldermen seem TO have solved
the problem, and if they will file caveat
may secure royalty on their scheme for
twenty years or more. The plan is q
aouhle-barreled one, SO to speak, and can
scarcely fail to hit at the second shot if the
first happens to miss. The preliminaries
are in. the usual form. Specifications are
prepared and bids advertised for. When
they are all in, opened and read, an Alder
man rises up in his place and says, "Gen-
tlemen. I have friend who will do this
work little less l move we give the
work to him." This little game was tried
at the last meeting and the best its oppon-
ants were able to do was to secure the
adoption of q motion to readvertise. OF
course the men who bid originally will not
enter into competition second time under
such circumstances and the other fellow will
get the work at his own price. The other
scheme is that adopted in the fre-alarm
telegraph competition. Pearce & Jones
offered to do the work for $500, while
Gamewall g. Co. proposed to do the work
for $1,000. The latter system has been
found satisfactory wherever used and,
with the saving of $500, should have been
selected. But some of the Aldermen went
over to New York to look at the Pearce &
Jones batteries and came back convinced
that it was their duty to give the contract
to that firm. To make it practicable they
allowed Pearee & Jones to reduce their
bid TO So, 0G0. Of course this only made
it ssstand-o of" between the two competi-
tors and common justice required in such
a case the contract SHOULD be re-advertised.
But the vote to award was pressed and
failed, the vote being, like the original and
awarded bids, tie. The most ludicious
feature of the business was that the bar
rels of this scheme were fred by different
sets of Aldermen. Those who thought one
all right considered the other other an
enormity, and Uice versa, the motion to re-
advertise in the first case being a compro-
mise. To the disinterested spectator it
lontr vary M oh aa if some of the HobOken
Aldermen were trying to get into State
Prison. And if Mayor Kerr dosen't watch
them pretty close they will probably sue
coed. They seem obliyious Of the fact
that Judge Knsl p is sitting on the Hill,
but some day he will reach down across
the meadows, lift them gently but firmly,
with the long and streng arm Of the law,
and fire them down to Trenton so quick
that they'll think they went there in
pneumatic tube.

Some of the papers have been flooded
with misinformation concerning the Guber-
material probabilities. The TATrLEn has
had nothing to say on the subject, for the
reason that it knows that there has been
nothing to say. The canvass has not as
sumed such shape as to make it possible
for any man, however close his connection
with the politics of the State may be, to
say just whore the coveted honor will fall.
We do not remember ever to have seen a
Gubernatorial canvass SO little advanced to
8 definite point at this season of the year
as the Gubernatorial canvass of this year.
Everybody is at sea about it, and no one
darss to venture guess concerning it.
When there is any news that can have the
renfotest bearing upon the contest to be
given, the TArrLER will. as usual, be the
first to present it. People who have fol-
lowed the course of this paper in times
past know that it has never failed to give
its readers the safest and latest informa-
ton upon political matters, State and
local, and that it is never mistaken in its
forecast.
