motion was then made that the Auditing Committee

before quiet could be restored, and then resolution
was passed calling a special meeting for December

authorized the printing OF County Democracy ballots
with Coogan's name on them. Another storm was
raised by the presenting OF n resolution thanking the
New-York newspapers for their services In aid Of

with indignant cries against the Democratic press.
and an amendment leaving them out was not acted

ALL SETTLED NOW, AND COAL NOT LIKELf TO

1t has been predicted that the price OF coal may be
lowered to the consumer because Of trouble in the
coal-caTyng trade In and about this city. The
trouble consisted Of a rupture between tho Inter
national Bostmcns Union trade organization OF
employees and the New-York Brokers and Freightsge
Exchange, composed of owners OF boats engaged In
transporting coal about the harbor from tho coal
docks to the consignees. The Boatmens Union com
planned that several employers had out down the
wages Of the boat captains from $50 10 $40 and
that discrimination made against ths lnterna-
tional men. After hearing the mems grievances
stated the executive boards Of tho two organizations
held a meeting Wednesday, at No. ! Broadway,

When John L. Clark began his suits
against Mary J. Clark, relict of the late
James Clark, it was believed she had her
plans laid for comfortable literary and
spiritualstic trip to Europe; and, conse.
quently, to delay her too early departure,
which might have been painful to her
" many friends" she was placed under
bonds Of S5O,000-so that she would ne
Great republca, as it were.
On the bond were Hon Jas. W. Duncan,
II. S. Gilbert, and her son. She in the
meantime, it appears, was en- the bond Of
Mr.. Gilbert in probate matter. Recently
she withdrew from that paper. and as the
story goes, he thereupon withdrew from
hers. This left Mr.. Duncan practically
alone; and, as is known, the relations be,
tween Mary J. Carey and the firm Of which
Mr.. d. is a member are somewhat strained,
so to speak.
Now, whether the author of THE Minis
istering Angel" surmised, dreamed, or had
it suggested by that familiar sprits "Snow
Drop" that Mr.. Duncan might also take a
drop, as the snow drops, and have himself
excused as bondsman, to the extent Of
$50, 900, and, in default Of another name as

obliged to fall back on his good nature by

her blacks to her barouche and HE'D herself

await the coming Of the "vestbule' which
should carry her to Omaha-just in time to
catch the imi'weekly limited vestibule for
California, which she suddenly seemed to
think absolutely ESSENTIAL for the good Of
her health-so the story goes.
