A GIFT TO THE SOUTH.

l One Million Dollars for she Education of she COlored Exace i'm Dixie-Prtnce- ly Generosity of Daniel Hand of GuiIford.
 Daniel Hand of Guilford has given the mag niGcent sum of $1 .O00, 900 for the purpose of educating the negro in the South. The an- nouncement of this princely gift was made yesterday at the session of the American Missionary association in Providence, R. l., where the association is holding its annual convention. The $1 ,OOO. 900 is to be held in trust by the association, and the interest is to be devoted to the education of the colored people in the old slave States of the South. The association is to have unrestricted charge of the expenditure of the interest, except that it must be devoted to the education of such colored people as are needy and indi- gent, and such as by their health, strength, and vigor of body and mind give indications of efficiency and usefulness in after life.
 Mr. Daniel Hand, the donor of this noble gift, now S7 years of age, was & grocer in Charleston, sc, before the war and being of northern sentiments was forced to fly to the North when the war broke out, leaving all his property, of about $180, ,000, in charge of George ". Williams, his confidential clerk and q southerner. Mr. Williams used the property proftably during the war and by investment in southern pine lands became very rich. Six years ago Judge Luzon B. Morris of New Haven, counsel for MT. Hand, advised the latter to seek 6 settlement with Mr. Williams. MT. Williams came to New Haven and honorably paid up the original sum and interest amounting to $64S, ,000, sending on the last installInent two years ago. This amount with the accrued interest forms the great bulk of the sum now returned to the South by MT. Hand. Under the terms Al 1--- AI.--> l.

Maggie Breslin, Mary Slattsry ,and Bridget McGinty, girls under 19 years of age, were on trial in the City court yesterday for walk ing the streets both day and night and pick ing up aoquaiptaHcss. Detective Reilley and Officers Hyde, Bisssll and Donegan testified for the State. The parents of the Breslin and slattery girl have complained to the po- lice of the way the girls walk the streets. The girls, 1t is said, stay away from home nights and put up at disreputabls places, but this they denied. Mary Slattery said she did stay away from home but because of her parents large family, and that she paid for lodings given her by her mother. The moth CT of Mary Slattery and the mother of Mary Breslin testified that both daughters stayed around home and were not given to street walking. Attorney Hugh Daley also de- manded the return of the girls to jail. He said they belonged to . gang of 200 who spread poison among the youths of New Ha- ven. It was to this crowd that Katie De- Bows, whose history is familiar to all, be- longsd. He didn't believe in crying after the trouble came, but in preventing it. Judge Thompson suspended sentence.

THE ComING ELECTION.


 Differing Reports as to Connecticut
 From Democrats of National R RenOvvn
 Reports From the Trio, Barnums
 Waller and WatGorsOn.
 A special to Wednesdays Hartford Times says Chairman Barnum is confident that Con- necticut will go Cleveland and has 80 express T himself officially.
 On the other hand Wednesday nights Mail and Express of New York says that it was current report in New York that Consul General Waller Chad brought sad news to ex- Senator Barnum and the Democratic National committeeman about the Nutmeg State. The story goes that Mir. Waller and the consul at Liverpool, Mir. Russell, who is also from Con necticut called yesterday afternoon upon the members of the committee at Democratic national headquarters. Colonel BIice was anxious to hear Mir. Walters opinion about the political outlook in his State. He is said to have given it in one sentence:
 ssConnectiout is extremely doubtful"
 "The members of the committee had hith- erto listened to the wonderful tales of paid canvassers, who made good reports in order to be sent to work in other States and to ex Senator Barnum, so they vainly imagined that Connecticut was safe. Mir. Walters knowledge of the State is thorough, and he has been investigating and trying to figure out Democratic majority. His frankness was very refreshing to some of the members of the committee. It is said that ex-Senator Barnum assisted Messr5. Waller and Russell to get eonsulships abroad, 50 he could lay his pipes to get back to the Senate without the interference of rivals. Anyway, it is said, MT. Waller has his eye on the Senate"
 The genial but cratic Watterson, who spoke at the Hyperion recently to an admir- ing audience, has also expressed bis opinion. After making his campaign through Connec- ticut, MT. Watterson, who always takes rose eolored view of the political situation from Democratic standpoint, says:
 'I have spent this week in New England. trying to discover if there was anything in that section of the country for Cleveland and Thurman. We have got a chance for Con- necticut, a hard fighting chance, and that is all.
 ssThis is the size of it. The lodging of the same question in 1880 is why we were so completely tdone up.' Outside of the tariff question in Connecticut found some soft spots in the shape of local disaffection and factional bickerings among Democrats. These may be hardened up or cur ed, but don't know. The going out of the reliable Democratic city of New Haven for a collector of the port of that hNrbor was 6 mistake and will cost President Cleveland hundred or mora votes. Then find in Connections, as elsewhere, number of Democrats who are sore because the administration does not turn the Repub- ncan partisans out and place Democrats in their positions. Now there is danger in the air from this class of Democrats, for while they will vote the ticket, they will not work for it, and what we most need in this cams paign is good, hard, earnest work. On the whole, just at this time, I am inclined to the opinion that if there is any advantage in the political situation in Connecticut it is with the Republicans"

Chinese QuarrsIs.

From the North China Herald
 Among population of such unexanapled density, where fanilie- of great size are crowded together-three or four generations, with all the wives and children under one roof-occasions for quarrel are all pervasive. The sons wives and children are prolific sources of domestic unplasantness. Each wife strives to make her husband feel that in the community of property he is the one who is worsted; the elder wife tyrannizes over the younger ones, and the latter rebel. The in- stint of the Western with grievance is to get it redressed straightway; that of the Or iental ic, first of all, to let the world at large
 know that he has a grievance. A chinaman
 who has been wronged will go upon the street
 and roar at the top of his voice. The art of
 hallooing, as it is called in Chinese, is close-
 ly associated with that of reviling, and the Chinese woman are such adopts in both as to justify the aphorism that what they have lost in their feet they have gained in their tongues. Much of this abusive language is regarded as s sort of spell or curse. A man who has had the heads removed from his field of millet stands at the entrance of the alley which leads to his dwelling and pours forth volleys of abuse upon the unknown offender. This has a double value-frst, as 8 means of notifying to the public his loss and his consequent fury, thus freeing his mind; and, secondly, as prephylactic tend ! ing to secure him against the repetition of ] the offence. Women indulge in this practice of ssrevihng the street, from the fiat roofs of the houses, and and shriek away fo hours at time uutil their voices fail. Abuse deliv- cred in this way attracts little or no atten- | ton, and one sometimes comes on 8 man or g woman thus screeching themselves red in | the face, with not an auditor in sight, If
 .hs day is hot one, the reviler bawls as long
 as he for she) has breath. then proceeds to re- fresh himself with season of flaming, and ! afterwards returns to the attack with renew ! ed fury. A fight in which only two parties | are concerned usually resolves itself into mere hair pulling, the combstants, when sep
 rated by their friends, shout back to each \ other maledictions and defiance. The guar rel betw cen Laban and Jaeok, recorded ir the thirty first chapter of Genesis, when the latter stole away fram Laban's house, is

Over Betsey Bradleyss WllI-HearimG
 in the Probate Court Yesterday-One
 of the Witnesses t0 she YV1ll Exam.
 ined-The RF0cesdfnGs.
 There was hearing yesterday on the will of the late Mrs. Betaey Bradley, who left prop erty valued at $350, ,000 and will bequeath- ing this money to charitable institutions.
 Triton E. Dolittle appeared for Samuel
 Forbes, Mrs. Brad1ey's brother, the disinher- tied heir, and Charles s. Hamilton and
 Judge Hollister for the interests of the re-
 siduary legatee, St. Paul's church.
 Under the provisions of the will the other
 brother, Josephus Forbes. receives the whole
 amount in trust during his life. Miss Anne
 Schafer, who took care of Mrs. Bradley for
 nineteen months, was examined She
 weighed every question thoroughly before
 giving an answer. She is-thirty-three years
 old. She testified that on March 5 she and
 Mrs. Bradley drove to the office of General
 Aerwin and there she signed the will as 8 witness. She said that Mrs. Bradley was
 then of sound mind. During all the time she was with Mrs. Bradley the latter attended to her own business. She first met Mrs.
 Bradley at Indian Neck four years ago while taking care of the late Mary Brad ley. Mir. Doolittle tried to find out something of the inside workings of the fan- fly, but he got very little information She said that sometimes Mrs. Bradley sent for Samuel to come to see her. She spoke to him of nothing but the weather and her friends. To questions Miss Schafer said: ssThe first time that heard Mrs. Bradley say anything about her will was one day when Josephua was there. He said nothing about the mat. ter. He never said much about his brother Samuel, only that he lived next door. When. ever he began to speak of Samuel I left the room heard Josephus say that Samuel tives that called at the house were Mrs. Cornelia Dickinson of Pennington, Miss Julia Britnow, MT. and Mrs. Scott and Miss Scott, Mrs. Boswell and Miss Lillie Greene. The friends who called were Mrs. Russell, Mrs. Johu Bradley and Mrs. Elliott Mrs. room when they called. Witness was asked if Josephus ever got tipsy, and after smiling little witneA said he did, but 1t was only occasionally. Mrs. Bradley invested the money she received from rents, etc., in stocks at Bunnell 6 Scranton's. Sometimes they told her what stocks to buy. She said she believed her mistsess was in sound mind ! and knew perfectly we'll what she was doing. On cross-examination she said her parents lived in Hoboken and worked in a pencil factory.
 "Whenever Samuel left the house did Jo. Sepnus ever say: mere goes Ln86 ScOun- drsl,' asked MT. Doolittle.
 1T never heard him say that"
 "What did he sayf'
 Miss Schafer did not answer, and Mr. Doolittle continued. and finally witness re- piled that when Josephus said these naughty | things Mrs. Bradley simply told Josephuf | not to think anything about the matter Witness said that Josephus and Samuel oc ! casionally met at the house, and at those ! times appeared to be on friendly terms | Samuels visits were often made when Jose phus was not there.
 The hearing was adjourned until nex Tuesdav

 . week in Populations, Mostly Per.
 manent-HospfsabIe People.
 TACOMA, Washington Territory, Oct. 19.- Situated on hill facing the west bank of Puget Sound lies the growing city of Tacoma. Six years ago the population was 720, to-day over 15, ,000. This remarkable increase has surprised even it's own projectors. The tract of land on which the city now stands, and the immediate surrounding country, was originally secured by the Tacoma Land conn pany, composed of the Northern Pacific rail- road company and Philadelphia capitalists who have pursued liberal policy towards new settlers and eastern capital, and thereby contributed to the phenomenal emigration to this point. The sanguine boomers of this embryo metropolis claims for it a population of 100, ,000 in five years. The present rate of increase is 500 persons week, seventy-five per cent. of whom stay. Coroner lots here sell for $20,0 ,000, and land which is several miles from the center is eagerly bought at prices which seem high compared with east- ern values, bnt which considered through western eyes are sure to pay to the purchaser an increase of five per cent. month. There were twenty-three transfers of real estate re- corded yesterday in the auditors office amountin to $42. .e2S This makes total for the year of $5, 800, ,00O The climate is not it's least advantage. The fruits at this season of the year, being in a ripe state and of @ re- markable large size and waxy surface. The facilities for shipping afforded by the excellent harbor are not surpassed by any city on the Pacific coast. The rates of interest paid here for loans vary from to 12 per cent. Guar anteen loans at per cent. on one-third valuation for three years time. The erection it is difficult to secure building material in sufficient quantities at reasonable prices to supply the demand. The principal paper here is the Daily Ledger, which in makeup and general news and strict devotion to the progress of the city will bear comparison with eastern papers. The stores are mostly
 filled up by San Francisco merchants and carry @ stock of goods which in variety and quality are equal to the demand. There are three good hotels here which are always crowded for accommodations. The largest house is stThe Tacoma" which is built of stone with brick trimmings, and has a beautiful outlook over Pugel Sound, and in the distance can be seen Mount Tacoma; IA, ,000 feet high and covered with perpetual snow. The citizens here are exceedingly hospitable to new corners, and the new com- CTS themselves, after being here few days, invariably catch the "boom fever" and in turn become magnet for future settlers. The coldest weather known here is 30 deg. above zero and never does the thermometer go above 90 deg, even in the warmer days of summer. May the prospect of Tacoma, the future commercial and manufacturing me tropolis of the great northwest continue to iucress. D. T MALLETT.

FOURTEEN NEW COACHES
For tke Consolidated Road-S3OO, ,OOO
 In New Cars.


 There arrived at the Consolidated road yards in this city yesterday fourteen new passenger coaches, which are the last part of an order of fifty with the Barney & Smith Car company of Dayton, Ohio. The cars were brought down to the Grand Central de- pot, New York, over the New York Central and Hudson River road. They are not as richly finished as the cars of the Wheeler pattern made at the shops in this city and are not as costly. The new cars cost in the neighborhood of SC, ,000 each, making an out lay for the invoice of fifty cars something like $300,00 There are now five hundred passenger coaches, including drawing room and sleeping cars, on the road. The wheels of the new coaches are of steel. The use of narrow strips of sheathing in the sidings gives different appearance to the exteriors as compared with the new cars built by the company in this city, which are paneled. The panel work affords fine finish for the rich painting done at the shops in this city. The seats of the new cars are upholstered in a gold brown plush. Mahogany is used in the interior finish, except for the ceilings, which are of oak. The parcel racks on each side run through the car continuously in one sec ton, which gives much greater capacity for storage of light baggage. These open-work racks, with rich brass framework, are impor- tant additions to the car trimmings. The cars are heated by hot air pipes running un- der the seats.
