Tandem Teams.

Driving tandem has gone pretty well
out of fashion in New York. 1t is a very
rare thing tossee more than two
tandem rigs In the park now in the
course of an afternoon. A perfectly
matched team is rarer yet. 1t is a curl
Gus thing that the deg cart, whether
driven single or tandem, isalways driven
in the city in America instead of In the
country, where it belongs: The vehicle
was originally designed for country
driving in England, and particularly
where the roads were rough. It was
driven tandem only where there were
hills to climb. when n horses strength

When the Queens Head Was Cut OF.

Apropos of the recent articles on the

two strokes with an before he did

upp the head, and babe God save the
queen. Then hir dressinge of laune fell
from her head, which appeared as grave

Eight miles up the Potomac river from
Romney, w. Va, is q small island cut
off from the main line by u mill race.
This island is nearly all sand and made
splendid burying place for the aborigines
OF this country. For a space of so by
200 yards there are many graves about
two to three feet in depth and contain
ing, besides skeletons Of Indians, many
peculiar relics, such as beads, shells,

Electricity cut up some queer capers
with q tree down in New Orleans. IA
guy cable was attached to the tree from
an electric light. In some nnaccountable
way the cable became crossed with a live
wire, and on wet days electricity ran
down the former. Several times it set
the tree afire, and eventually started a
blaze which destroyed that part of the
tree above the wire, The trunk was ex-
,amined, and Its heart was found to have
been entirely eaten out by the electricity

urably superior to every form Of artificial
language as well as to other national
tongues. The various moods and lenses,
declensions and conjngations which bur
den other grarnmars have practically no

In MEMORY OF COX.
a Large AssemDlase at Cooper Union
,-CleNclnnn Presides.

New York, Oct 10-A large asseplhlage
gathered tonight at Cooper Union at the
services in memory of the late Congressman
S. S. Cox.
Among those on the platform were ex-
President Cleveland, Mayor Grant, ex-
Mayors Hewitt and Cooper, General Sher-
man, General Pryor, Chaplain Milburn, Of
the house of representatives; Senator
Aldrich, George w. Childs and John a.
Cockerill.
The services opened with prayer by Rev.
DIR. McSweeny, after which exPresident
Cleveland was introduced as the presiding
officer of the evening
The ex-president paid high tribute to the
character of the dead statesman. After
speaking at length of his public spirit and
high integrity, Mr.. Cleveland said: But
while thus contemplating the value of use
fulness we cannot refrain from reflection
which has sombre co!orlng. What is the
condition of the times when we may justly
and fairly exalt the memory of a deceased
public servant because he was true and
honest and faithful to his trust Are we
maintaining a safe standard of public duty
when the existence of these virtues instead
to cause congratulation9 l beg you to take
home with you among the reflections of this
occasion which shall awaken your sense of
truth that if we are to secure for ourselves
all the blessings of our free institutions we
must apprehend the interest we have at
stake in their scrupulous maintenance, and
must exact of those whom we trust in public
office more rigid adherence to the demands
of public duty"
Among the other speakers was Congress
man Proctor Knott, whose address was the
warm tribute of personal friend.

ON A MUD BANK.
The Ocean Racer, City Of New York,
Aground.

New York, Oct 10.-The Inman line
steamer City of New York, which went
aground in the lower bay yesterday, is still
there, and eleven tugs have been sent to her
assistance. Her passengers are being taken
off, and 1t is feared she is sinking in quick
sand. The company expects to get the
steamer afioat by 3 O'Clock this afternoon.
At IL o'clock one of the big tugs which
went to her assistance returned to quaran-
tine and reported that all efforts to float the
ocean racer were unavailmg. This tug did
not confirm the report tLat the steamer was
sinking in quicksand. There is considerable
excitement among the passengers on board.
There are 500 cabin passengers and 115
second cabin passengers on the City OF New
York. The steerage passengers are numbered
in hundreds. Among the first cabin passen-
gers are Wilson Barrett. the great English
tragedian and his company. Peter Wright &
Sons, agents in this city for the Inman line,
state the big steamer is in nc danger what
ever. The passengers are being brought up
to the city on steamers.
Among the cabin passengers taken off the
City of New York by a steamer were George
Gould and wife. The latter was i'll and had
to be carried aboard 1t was learned later
that Mrs. Gould's illness is not serious. The
big steamer seems to stand as IL she was in
dry dock. Her bow is more elevated than
her stern. Her twin screws stand almost
clear of the water and she is visiby listed TO
port.
The pilot who was in charge when the
steamer went aground said ne had been a
pilot for seven years and never met with an
accident before. He stood on the bridge
with six officers of the vessel. When look
ing forward he saw a pilot boat crossing the
steamers bow bearing torch. He
ported TO avoid collision, and ran
aground. Before he could starboard

We're so wild and excited they wanted to
lynch the pilot, but were soon subdued by

Star took the remainder of the cabin passen-
gers and good deal of baggage to this city
this afternoon. All the steerage passengers
were left aboard. 1t was determined tonight
to have tugs try and haul the steamer off the
mud bank at high tide.
At midnight the steamer was still on the
mud bank.
The steerage passengers were landed in
Jersey city about o'clock in the morning.

PARIS, Oct TO- New York Herald Cable
Special TO The BEE.l-The Boulangist
organs state that the general will make a
few weeks stay in the channel islands This
way of putting the matter recalls the cee-
brated euphemism invented for application to
the defeated armies of "fall back in good
order.n jerseys new guest did not receive
q very ilattering adieux from his old allies
Those conservative journals which form
erly supported the Boulangist alliance
are now more than reserved as to the gem
eral From La SolIel TO La Autoritc all are
agreed that, politically speaking, he has no
existence and that his star has been blotted
out of the horizon.
The group of Boulangists who form part
of the new chamber has been decidedly cast
of from the right, and they will sit at the
extreme left. Boulangism is thus resumlng
the form in which il first appeared and seems
likely henceforward to be nothing but dis
sident fraction of the radical party. 1t is
likely that this rupture of the alliance may
lead TO n schlsm in the conservative party, u
portion of which will, In all probability, cut
loose from tho Comte des Dou2e, and, cboos-
ng its own leaders, follow more moderate
and less obstructive policy. Herve, of La
Soliel, advocates this course, while De Cas-
sagnac in La Autorite depends upon the
action of the Comte des Douze and pleads
for a continuation Of the same policy.
Under these conditions it is evident that
the conservative party is destined 10 undergo
a total transformation.

WAsHNGToN, Oct. O.-The department Of
agriculture reports the general percentage of
the condition of corn at 9l.7, against 900 a
month ago, and 90 for tbe crop of 1883 on the
1st of October; the co.fiition of potatoes 77.9,
against S6.6 last October; of buckwheat 90
against 92 l last year. The preliminary esti-
mate of the yield per acre is 1913 for wheat;
l1,9 for rye, and 22.2 for barley. The past
month has been favorable for corn. A slight
frost north of 400 latitude injured the late
corn, but the percentage of damage gener-
ally is very small. The best development Of
maize was IN the Missouri valley.

Cable-Special to The BEE. The quinine
market has the fever and ague. Three
months ago quinine was selling for II pence
an ounce. This morning it sold for l513 pence
and this afternoon for l4115 pence, the sudden
drop being caused by LOWS & Peat, the
largest operators in Mincing Lane, dumping
some of the 100000 ounces known to have
been in their possession when other opera

great speculative marts. "Brunswick'' and
''B. and S." stocks are said to be low and
the bulls declare that the price will go to IS
pence before the end of the month. A mem
ber Of the firm of Lewis e. Peat said to the
Herald CORRESPONDENT to. day that the recent
price was ridiculous and there was no profit
In it for anybody. He remembered selling
quinIne for IA shillngs and did not expect.to
see it back to IL pence for good while. The

mated IN pounds, was IL 039, ,639, against 10,-
703,0 ,093 for 1883 and 10, ,9S5 for 1887. Lewis

that if there is such a stock on hand as the
above figures show q large proportion must

that considerably more will be offered.
