welcome last night to President Dwight, of the
University of Yale. If good wishes can help
il on, the new administration at New-Haven
will attain the highest possible success. AS Is
usual when a number of Yale men get together,
some excellent speeches were made. Else

certain quarters to show that the views or
Henry George, which Dr. McGlynn is charged
with unfolding, are not contrary TO the doc
trines of the Roman Catholic Church. That at
tempt must fail. Elsewhere in this paper will
be found a careful statement on the subject,
which shows cOnclusvely that the attitude OF
Archbishop Corrigan in these unfortunate COM
plicatons is entirely sustained by the author

The New-York Gable Railway Company is a
most persistent and patient company, and has
never faltered in its firm determination to
occupy about seventy miles of our streets with
its gridiron contrivances. But it has ct last
received serious set back This is in the shape
of decision by the Court of Appeals sustaining
the General Term in refusing to confirm the
report of tie Cable Com missiOners in favor or
the project. The reason given is that the
powers which would thereby be granted to the
company are too vague and too great to be
good for the public welfare. Ordinarily such a
decision would end the existence of the corpora
ton affected hut it remains to be seen where
this shrewd combination oil capital and assur-
ance will next turn up.

through poverty their faults are more easily

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MIENEAPoLIs. Mimi, Dec. 22.-About o'clock
this evening three men drove up in front of the
large jewelry store of j. r. Elliott. corner OF
Nicolett avenue and Third street Two of the
men jumped from their sleigh, while the third
held the horses. One of the men carried
heavy stick of wood, with which he smashed the
large plate glass show window, in which were
trays of diamonds, watches ETC., hurriedly
seized all the available jewelry and threw it
into the sleigh, while his accomplices kept
the crowds of people that swarmed the
street at bay with cooked revolvers in
their hands. Before anything could be
done to apprehend them, both men had
jumped into the sleigh and drove rapidly up the
street, the driver wildly lashing the horses and
the robbers standing with rcvolvers pointed at
the crowd. They secured between six thousand
and seven thousand dollars worth of diamonds
and watches. For boldness and daring, this ex-
cells the James brothers exploits The streets
were unusually crowded, and scores of people
were looking at the display in Elliott's windows
at the time of the robbery. Several policemen
were within half a block of the scene, but could
not get there in time to apprehend the bold
thieves A posse has started after them with
fast horses, and the telephone and telegraph
have been utilized to notify all the outlets of the
city to be on the lookout for them.
