As The adjourned meeting of BE crcd-
itors Of the Bay Ridge company ID
Baltimore yesterday, Mr. =. w.
Bruno, acting chairman Of The com.
mittee appointed 1t che frst meeting,
in the absence Of Mr.. Stokes. reported
that the committee had conferred with
the officers Of the q mpany and bad
made such examination OF its books
and affairs as The time and opp0rtuni-
ty afforded them would permit. They
bad found that the total liabilities OF
the company appromoximated $685.
600, of which amount some $40. 900
was totally unsecured, and about $751;
600 partially secured through the
rights of the mechanics lien law. All
the bonds represented by the mort
gage. 5000 of the par value of ST.
600 each. were claimed TO have been
issued, aud the situation stood thus /:
Ifthecreditors brought suit and threw
the company into the hands of q re-
ceiver there would be forced sale of
the property, and after expenses were
deducted and the occurred debt liqni-
dated there would certainly be moth
ing lett for the other creditors 1t, on
the other hand, the unsecured credi-
tors attacked the mortgage and The
validity of the bonds, they would
have big fight on their hands, bring
ing about a lawsuit, and in the mean
time the property, being tied up,
would rapidly depreciats in value.
As the examination bad disclosed that
the working of the company was
yielding q handsome profit on the
actual cost of the investment, they
could but deem this course q very IN.
wise one. While making their inves-
tigation they had made to them q
proposition by responsible Baltimore
banking firm to take the property,
pay of the unsecured Indebtedness
and assume the other liabilities under
such terms as, in view of the prospec-
tive profits, would insure the contin-
uance of the enterprise. The CON-
mite had been asked for thirty days
time for investigation by this firm be-
fore giving a final answer. They
therefore commended to the creditors
meeting that, in view of the above
proposition, the creditors mutually
agree with each other to desist from
enforcing their claims until after the
20th of October, provided the insur-
ance of $50, 900 be kept oa the prop
erty by the company and the proper
ty preserved intact. Mr.. Bruno, in
explanation, said that this delay, il
agreed to by all. would not In any
way jeopardize the rights Of any cred
itor, as they would be in the came
position on the 2lst of October as they
were in now.
The report was adopted and the
committee continued, with power to
call another meeting after the 2lst Of
October or sooner if the matter was
duly arranged.

FIFTEEN MINUTES TO CALCUTTA
Wonderful Improvements In tho Trans

Wonderful Improvements In the Trans
mis-ion Of Cable Messages.
How soon will this reach Calcutta"
asked a white haired man as he slipped a
ten word message through the receiving
wicket of the down town Office Of q cable
company.
Cant say exactly" said the receiving
clerk Its ) O'Clock now and there's
work enough ON hand to keep the wires
red hot till midnight. Wen get it of by
2 a. m"
I'm sure you'll send it as soon as pos
sibIe, but thaoA not what mean. When
will it reach Calcutta l retired from
business many years ago and have for
COTTON some things about cable telegraphy
with which was once familiar"
why, if 1t leaves here at it'll get
there before 3 80 any way"
You are joking, young fellow. re-
member well enough waiting week for
a message from India or Hong Kong; no
doubt the world moves faster now"
Il wonder what he would have
thought" said the clerk TO a reporter, ''if
] told him that his message would be in
Calcutta in fifteen minutes from the time
it left here. And yet that is not an under
eSllIlhlt Vi Ilit llhlc. IL iO uclhy
occurs in transferring from one system to
another. The New York merchant Of to-
day does not fully appreciate the wonder
full system of submarine intercommunica
ton which is always at his service; but
old city men know well enough the an
noyance and losses on European and
Asiatic business caused through native
operators when messages had TO be
handed from one government to another
before they reached their destination.
Twenty years ago eight days delay on
Indian messages was quite common. Tele-
grams that had TO pass through Turkey
were thrust aside at Consta ltinople until
the turbaned operators had cleared their
lines and their work Of mutilation often
cost the merchant his message and the
price of repeat" when the receiver was
unable TO translate the mangled English
delivered to him in Bombay or Calcutta.
Now all this is changed. British and
American operators are to be found in all
parts of the globe, much to the surprise
of outsiders, who wonder why natives
cannot be trained to take charge Of cable
circuits. Our operators proceed to foreign
stations and in the most unhealthy
Climate manfully do their duty. Mutt
lated messages are no longer common,
and the merchants of this country reap the
benefit. The other day l was asked why
half breed Spaniards could not be trained
to take appointments at such places
as Vera Cruz and Panama, where Anglo
Saxons cannot live. The real Spaniard
does not make model operator. What
the Mexican operator would be like will
not venture to suggest. l have heard on
good authority that it is nothing unusual
for Spanish operator to give M. A
(wait) while he saunters TO neighboring
restaurant to indulge in a cigarette-re-
turning to go on with his work when4e
has finished his refreshments. Ii is no
wonder that cable companies are glad to
secure English and American operators to
do their work, for they seldom forsake
their posts while they have 4 leg to stand
on. New York Tribune Interview.

The Widow of Gen. Pickett.

Among the visitors at the panorama Of
Bull Run at Washington the other day
was a lady of striking appearance, who
seemed greatly interested in the picture
of the fight. When the lecturer began TO
describe that portion Of the battle near
the railroad track and said "the conflict
here can only be likened to features Of
the battle Of Gettysburg, and the dash
made at this point is said TO have equaled
the famous Pickett's charge" the lady
seemed to take greater interest in the
picture and when she turned to look at
the lecturer he recognized her as the
widow Of Gen. Pickett, that dashing Vir-
ginian who led the Confederate charge at
Gettysburg. The lady is living at Wash
ington now and her name appears on the
pay roll of the interior department as a
laborer. But Mrs. Pickett is not required
to do laborer's work. She is assigned TO
clerical work. She is refined and cul-
tured woman and is only one among the
widows of renowned soldiers on both sides

Going Back to simplicity.

II is evident that the days Of bric-s -brac
are numbered, and that we are about to
feel 4 strong reaction toward the classic
styles and severe simplicity. The archi-
tects and decorators in New York say that
people profess themselves weary Of the
clutter they have been having round them
in their houses and asked to be furnished
in white and gold. of course this was to
be expected sooner or later. In former
and less hurried times the reaction
would have been delayed some time lon
ger, but in these days fashions change
with great rapidity.
Very likely we may go all the way back
% the Grecian type Of house before we
stop, wher once the mania for simplicity
sets in, ant il any one would know what
that type il a beautiful example may be
seen on Broad street. near Girard avenue.
This is n house built about forty years
ago by the late Mr.. Styles. 1t Ii very
beautiful in its plain square Of white
marble, with the smallest portion Of clas-
sic ornament and great relief to the eye
after the bewilderment of curious things
which lately have been getting built.
The people in the suburbs who are put
ting rustic stone walls Of preposterous
thickness around their tiny Queen Anne
boxes had better take warning that they
will soon be out of e-Philadelphia

"The Devil and the Deep Sea-"

The old story of the poor soul who was
caught between The devil and the deep
sea" gets a new illustration from the deal
ing of doctors and drugs with malaria. The
story is soon told: My daughter" said a
lady, had been struggling with malaria for
four years. She was all the time out Of
heaith-pOOr appetite, disOrdered digestion,
pale earthy color, pain in the head, limbs
and back, and every now and then right
hard chill, followed by fever. Then we
would send for our doctor and he would
prescribe quinine, just as he did from the
irst-and so kept doing all alOng-until the
name of quinne sounds like the tolIing OF
the bell. Clearly between the two, her
health was being ruined and her very life in
peril. She was really between The devil
and the deep sea- Sometimes the name is
varied, and it is called some other 'ine' in
place of quinine, but it is all the same-the
old firm with new sign. In this dilema a
lady friend said: Why not try Humph-
rey's Homeopathic Specifics, Nos. Ten and
Sixteen tried them. They were a sue
cess from the first, and not only cured the
malaria, but restored her to perfect health,
and left no trace Of disease or drug pOis-
