MRS. SHERIDAN RETALIATES.
She Has a Cross Warrant Issued for
Another Scold.

She Has a Cross Warrant Issued for
Another Scold.
Mrs. Bridget Sheridan, Hudson County
scold No. 2, who was fined $50 by Justice
Wanser yesterday, is determined that the
group shall consist of more than
two scolds. This morning Lawyer
John Wright, representing Mrs.
Sheridan, appeared before JUS
tice Aldridge and had cross
warrant issued for the arrest of Mrs. Kate
Corbley and her daughter Maria, who ap-
peared against Mrs. Sheridan in Justice
Wanser's Court yesterday, son the same
charge for which Mrs. Sheridan was
fined. A hearing will be given by
Justice Aldridge next Monday evening,
when Mrs. Sheridan will bring her
daughter Annie and probably other wit
nesses to prove thai the language used,
for which Mrs. Sheridan was fined, was
provoked by equally vile abuse of the lat
ter by Mrs. Corbley.
Lawyer Wright is aggrieved because
Justice Wanser refused to hear him in
court in behalf of Mrs. Sheridan. He
claims that the police court, in such cases,
is place of trial, in which both sides
should be heard.
1t is generally supposed that the Justices
of the Peace have no authority to try
such cases, but an amendment to section
of the Disorderly Act, passed at the last
session of the Legislature, empowers
Justices of the Peace to impose fines and
Imprisonment in all cases of the nature of
the Sheridan-Corbley scold case. The
limit of the fine is $25 and term of i'm
prisonment three months, Both can be
imposed.

NEWSDEALERS ACTIVE.


Some Good Speeches.
The meeting of the Newsdealers' Asso
citation at Stiers Hall last evening was
largely attended. When President Fack-
ert called the meeting to order every
chair was filed.
After the transaction of routine bust
ness Mr.. Fackert unfolded, in a clever
speech, a scheme which, with concerted
action upon the part of the carriers,
would do away with the middlemen, and
give to the newsdealer the full profit to
be derived from handling newspapers.
1t was nothing less than a proposition
that the union should appoint its own
wholesaler" This would hurt seve raj
wholesalers now in the business, ut
it is said that they have net shown the
slightest disposition to fight the Trust,
but, on the contrary, have been ever at
tempting to discourage the retail dealers
in the fight. From the favor with which
the proposition was received it is be-
lieved that such action will shortly be
taken.
Mr. Fackert then dwelt upon the neces-
sity of prodding the backsliders into re-
newed vigor, and expressed his earnest
hope that the compositors wou Id be sue
cessful in their fight against the Trust.
John Callahan, of the Central Trades
and Labor Assembly, then made few
cheering remarks and suggested the ap-
pointment of an Agitation Committee"
whose duty it shall be to visit all the labor
organizations in the city, and impress
upon them the necessity of helping on the
fight.

Fears for Forty Sailors and n Valuable
Vessel and Cargo.
PHILADELPHIA, July %, 18S9.-Several
of the large marine insurance companies
in this city are greatly concerned over
s350,0OO risk recently taken on cargo of
sugar on board the steamship Thetis at
the Philippine Islands bound to Sandy
Hook for orders. A large part of the
cargo had been sold to be delivered to
Philadelphia refinery. The Thetis was
new Clyde built vessel and is known as
an "ocean tramp" She sailed from uoilo,
one of the ports in the Philippine Islands,
with her cargo on April 26. The insur-
ance of the cargo was effected in this city
after the ships departure from Iloilo.
She passed Gibraltar on June "a, since
when nothing has been heard from her.
The passage should not have taken more
than fourteen days, and it is now thirty
three days since she passed out of sight of
the signal station at Gibraltar. Should
the ship have been lost, the disaster will
be one of the most important recorded
among freight vessels in recent years.
The value of the ship and cargo is nearly
five hundred thousad dollars. The vessel
is new one, and is rated as 100 AL at
Lloyds. and cost $120, 600.
The Thetis was commanded by Captain
Cameron, and her crew consisted of forty
men. 1t is feared that Captain Cameron
ran q course too far north and has struck
an iceberg and been lost with all of his
crew

The Columbia's Great Record.
The new steamer Columbia, of the

fleet, reached her dock at Hoboken this
morning. 1t was her first run, and she
not only behaved admirably, but broke
the record. She leads the feet ones in

them all in time from Queenstown on the
maiden voyage.

line. The Lain arrived at Sandy Hook
at ten minutes after eleven on Thursday
night. The Columbia arrived at the Hook
at fifteen minutes to nine last night, beat
