Recorerfng Lost Articles.

AS we'll look for needle IN bundle
of hay" as for a small article lost in the
city of New York. Of course every
well-cOnducted railway or carrying
company has an Office in which articles
found In their vehicles are stored for
reclamation. But there are so many
carrying companies; the article may
have been left in a cab or in some pub
lie place; and if the owner cannot re-
member the exact place, where is he to
make inquiry for it ? Would it not be
well to have a special bureau to which
all lost articles could be sent, Just as
they have in Paris, for example? There

Mediu of Chicago lost a 1000 franc
bill IN Paris a few years ago. The
next day he clambered to the bureau
for lost articles, in the third story OF
the Palace of Justice, and recovered
it. It had been found in the straw at
the bottom Of cab he had used.
The Paris bureau has Just been re-
organized. Articles found are entered
at the central Office, with the name OF

and they are handed over without
charge, a gratuity for the finder usual
" being left; but this is entirely at the
option of the owner. If after fifteen
days the article is not reclaimed the
finder may claim it for himself In
case he does not it is sent to the maya
zine for storage for three months, and
there. if it be clothing or something OF
a perishabIe nature, it is sold. Other
wise it is kept for three years. An in
stance is cited in La RepGJbjq1Je Fran

In carriage. Eighteen months passed,
and happening to be in Paris again
and hearing for the first time of the
Bureau for Stolen Articles, he went
there aud made inquiry. He was as
tOnished to have 1t handed over to him,
and IN his generosity he left half of the
sum for the honest cOachman who had
placed it there to his credit, so to speak.
Now it does seem a little unjust that

and left unclaimed, should be sold tc

ANOTHER VIEW.
,rbe state Aru1ories and Polo

The state Arnlories and Polo.
The Hartford Courant yesterday, speaking
of the action of the officers of the First regi-
ment in resignipg, remarks editorially:
set was noticeable that old army officers,
having regard first for the standing of the
military and the protection Of the people, and
only after that Tor their entertainment, were
outspoken in support of the action of the
officers. The sentiment of the State militia
is also very strong that the regimental armo-
ries should be used for the regiments. Adj
vocates of polo in the armory' could be
easily found who admitted that from the
military point of view the renting of State
armory was q mistake. Their defense waf
that they want polo.' -s
The argument of the Hartford Times, tina
the State needs rent money, is very lame. Il
it did, it could rent the senate chamber fol
little meetings and the representatives, hal
for bigger meetings and balls, and, in the
eighteen months between legislative sessions,
could take in very neat sum of money and
interfere with the work of no branch of the
government, for these rooms are then va-
cant. Pray whose is the capitol, if not the
people'sa Every argument for renting the
armory holds for renting the representatives.
hall, with the vastly important addition that
no hindrance could come to military drill
and no threat, however remote, to public
safety, while renting the armory involves
both of those objections"

Delegates Resume the COnslderation
OF Lights.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-After the consid-
Grafton of business of minor Importance at
the Marine conference this morning recess
was taken.
After recess the amendment proposed by
the delegates from the Netherlands to article
was taken up. This amendment provides
for the lights to be carried by vessels not
under command and vessels laying telegraph
cables. On motion of Mr.. Goodrich no
definite position was assigned to the side
lights, but they are to be carried in posi-
ton and place where they can best be seen.
The amendment was adopted. In connee-
ton with this amendment the proposition
was laid before the conference whether or
not it is necessary to have in the day time a
special signal for steamers proceeding under
sail without steam power, which are manage
able; for instance, a triangular shaped body
in the foretop.
After some discussion the proposition was
adopted. An amendment previously offered
by the delegates from Great Britain was TAX
en- up providing that vessels, which from ae-
cident are not commanded, shall at night
carry in the same position as the white light
| that steamers are required to carry in place
of that light two globular lanterns, and in
the day shall carry two black balls or shapes
each two feet in diameter, six feet apart in
front, but not lower than the foremost head
This amendment was adopted. The confer
| ence then adjourned.

The Coroner Places the Blame Of the
MT. Auburn Plane Accident on the
Pilot.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 5.-The coroner has
rendered verdict upon the Mt. Auburn
plane accident in which six persons lost their
lives. He says the immediate cause was the
failure of the pilot, Charles Gobls, to proper
ly work the throttle and thereby stop the
car. He finds that even if the piece of iron
found in the steam chest interfered with the
working of the throttle still Goble could
have prevented the accident by the proper
use of the brake. He further finds that the
draw. cable and safety rope were not proper
ly fastened to the car, and that the EN-.
ployss in charge of the machinery were gull
ty Of criminal carelessness In not stopping
the travel and examining the machinery at
ten o'clock a. m. when the machinery refused
to work properly.

Farquhar, the absconding clerk at the de-

the national encsmpment held in Milwaukee
and then skipped out, arrived in this city
last night in charge of a Chicago detective.
He was caught in Chicago and was brought
from there, arriving here at 1915 here last
night, coming by way of Springfield.
He was not handcuffed and walked through
the depot apparently alone, although the de-
tective was q few feet behind Night Tick

City Attorney Hugh Daily was at the po-
