GOTHAM'S RICHEST WIDOW.
Mrs. Moses Taylor, Who Manages to Sub

Mrs. Moses Taylor, Who Manages to Sub
sist on Forty Millions.
Never has there been such universal
church-going in New York as during the
present season, writes a Brooklyn CORE
spondent. saw a. lady in black step out
Of handsome mourning carriage in front
OF St. Thomas church last Wednesday
afternoon, and some one told me that it
was Mrs. Moses Taylor, who, with Mrs. W.
H. Vanderbilt, shares the honor OF being
the richest widow in America. She is a
member of the Presbyterian church. but is
subject to no bigotries and finds pleasure
in occasional attendance upon lenten ser.
vices in Episcopal churches. Church.going
is one of her fav vorite pursuits at all times
and at Long Branch she has a private
chapel and chaplain OF her own, who min
listers to her spiritual needs during her
summer sojourn. This chapel cost her
$4,000, is attended by quite a large con-
is the center through which she distributed
her many beautiful and lavish charities.
1t was a great surprise to her upon her
husbands death to find herself so rich q
woman, for he never talked to her about
his business, and though she knew he was
q wealthy man she had formed do calcula-
ton as to the amount he was worth, no
one, indeed, not even his executors, had
credited old Taylor with more than hall q
dozen millions at the most, and the sur
prise of the latter was great on the ap-
pointed day when they and the wido" went
to open the doors OF the particularly " solid
vault which the old man had built into
the wall of his Office.
"The innermost compartment was large
enough to hold certificates of stock and
the like securities Without folding. There
was a great stack of these papers lying
neatly on top OF each other, un-
wrinkled and increased. They rep
resented laylor's investments in rail.
roads, banks, insurance companies,
deeds of real estate and every sort
OF sound financial venture. The widow did
not comprehend the full meaning of this
great pile of documents, but the executors
looked at each other with pleased signf-
canoe and get about making an inventory,
jotting down figures on the back OF card,
and announcing it in awed tones to the
widow when the pleasing task was done,
that she was the sole possessor of fortune
amounting to SAC, 100000. She bore it
with meek and gentle resignation OF which
even the worst OF us would be capable
under similar circumstances, and many un-
fortunates have since had reason to be
grateful that this great sum fell into such
discreet and charitable hands. Mrs. Van
derbilt is also faithful church-goer,
having pews in several different churches,
one of her favorite places OF worship being
old Trinity.

A GENEROUS OFFER.

The Gagnon Company Prepared to Give
the City More Water for Fire Purposes.
Superintendent Goodale states that the
Gagnon company stands prepared to add
greatly to the city's water supply for fire
PURPOSES An immense amount Of water 10
pumped daily from the mine into the storm
culvert which begins at Woolman street.
This water, about 400 inches, could be
made available to the city at any time il
the city would supply 500 feet of hose, just
enough to make the necessary connections.
Several prominent gentlemen are aware OF
this, and in view OF the frequency with
which fires continue to occur in all parts OF
the city and OF late, especially in the busi-
nees portion, it is not at all improbable
that an effort will be made to induce tho
city council to make some arrangement by
which this water could be used in case OF
an emergency. The gentlemen referred to
say that inasmuch as the expense attached
would be small in proportion to the great
benefit which might be derived from util.
ization OF Mr.. Goodale's generous ofier, not
much hesitancy relative to an acceptance
OF the offer should exist.

One Thorn In the Flesh.

There is weeping and wailing and gnash-

and congratulating themselves upon what
they regarded as sure majority from that
out OF the way place. When the votes
were counted and it was found that OF the

there were only three Republicans in the

A Probable Contest.

It has been stated on good authority,
namely, that of one of the successful caadi-
dates that there is apt to be q contest of
the vote cast in the Sixteenth and Seven
teenth precincts, Meaderville. The facts
upon which the contest, if made at all, will
be based are said to be these:
In each precinct many voters left the
polling places after receiving their
sta mped tickets and before they had de-
posted them in the ballot box. The only
inierences possible under the circumstances
are either that the voters could not read
their tickets and went outside to have
their selections marked for them, or else
that they went outside under instructions
and there submitted their tickets to the
dictates of the bosses and herders. In
either case the law has been violated, for
voters are forbidden to leave the polls be-
tween the time OF receiving their ballots
and the time of casting the same. The law
provides, too, that in case the voter ia in.
capable OF preparing his own ticket the
Judges OF election shall prepare it for him.
So far as can be ascertained no action has
yet been decided npon, but there is much
complaint on the part Of the Democrats OF
the precinct.

Controversy About the Walls Of the

BUTTE, October 9.-[Editor Miner. J.
Because nf certain unfair and untrue
statements in regard to the Bowes block
made by the busy" or malicious, to the
effect that the walls were so light and lily
constructed that tho building was unsafe
before the fire, we wish to state Q few
facts: The basement walls were 81 \ inches
thick; the second and third story walls
II inches thick; the other two stories and
to the underside OF the raiters, 13 inches
thick; the fire walls only, being inches
thick. Those who object to o building OF
this class because the walls are not heavy
enough display their igno, ance OF tho
builders standards in our best built East
ern cities, and the standard thickness Of
walls as laid down in our "Engineers'
Guides" That these walls, from the
cement footing and stonework up, were not
lily constructed Is abundantly proven by
the fact that not a sign OF check or crack
from settling had ever appeared, ami Ger
tainly these walls were heaviest when they
