Mails Go, But No Passengers.

New YORK, August 9.-The first
train which left the Grand Central
depot this morning passed underI elth
the big bridge at 45th street exactly
at $50 o'clock. Four ears were at
tached to this train and these were
occupied by mail sorters, whose
duty it was to distribute mails
before the train reached Albany.
There were no passengers aboard
The tie-up on the road was complete.
Every trainman, brakeman, switch
man, engineer and conductor, except
those necessary to attend the running
of mail trains, stopped work on order
of the executive board of District AS
sembly No. 246. The railroad men,
by mutual consent, agreed to furnish
enough assistance to allow mail
trains to run, but they deter
mined that not single passenger
nor pound of freight should be car
ried on the lines of the New York
Central and Harlem River railroad
after Z o'clock last night. From $3.50
until $50 this morning no trains were
run. About o'clock, however, a
great number of train hands, who did
not belong to the Knight of Labor,
reported at the yard for work. They
were instructed to set about clearing
the tracks. The third vice president.
Webb, took charge of the men as soon
as they entered the yard. He had
been up all night superintend-
lug the company's business
and consulting with the po-
lice officials from time to time
regarding the safety of passengers
who arrived on the incoming trains.
These were compelled to get off the
cars at Motthaven instead of coming
to the Grand Central depot, us usual,
and they had to rely upon the ac-
commodation of the elevated road.

The President Agrees With Blaine

WASHINGTON, August 9.-The adj
versaries of Mr.. Blaine have not sue
ceeded in winning the president over
to opposition to his secretary. The
President and Mr.. Blaine are in ac-
cord in this reciprocity matter. and
unless something extraordinary hap
pens to prevent it a message will be
sent to congress by Mr.. Harrison
strongly indorsing the general propo-
sition known as the Blaine plan. He
is now preparing such message.
The opposition will have to yield
with the best grace they can, or else
suffer defeat. The President has not
just lately been won over to the
reciprocity idea. He has been in sub
stantial agreement with Mr.. Blaine
on the subject from the first, only he
has not been enthusiastic, being by
temperament a less sanguine man
and taking longer to come to a def.
mite conclusion.

reached a little country church and
neglected church-vard, which had for
many years not been disturbed by the
grave-digger's spade. Grass and weeds
were all about. The monuments were
nearly all tumbling to pieces from old
age. I finally was shown Emmets
grave alongside paling. 1t had
been neglected for long time, and
dense underground covered the fiattened
mound. A small, plain blue limestone,
shaped like an eclipse and broken off

grave"

death; That my name remain in

One OF the most effective is of white
silk, with tiny mauve dots on
it 1t reaches to the ground
and is beautifully hemstitched;
the collar is broad one cut in sailor
fashion and thrown back far enough to
expose the neck very well. The sleeves
are full and have deep cuffs, and on the
left side is pocket in which is stuck a
white silk handkerchief with mono
gram in mauve upon it. The cuffs are
of mauve silk caught with white sleeve
links, and the collar is also of the coll
ored silk. A soft white silk-tie is
knotted in front in sailor-fashion. The
haberdasher announces that this is per-
fumed so thoroughly with violet that
even two or three visits to the cleaners
will not dispel the odor. A more fem

lace and a cravat of lawn and lace, such

Accordingly he arranged with United
States Fish Commissioners Mcdonald to
have supply of eggs cared for at the
Craig Brook station, Me. Mr. Mcdon-
aid choose this station because they
will have pure water, favorable condi-
tions of temperature at all seasons of
the year, and natural conditions of food.
Besides, there are several streams in
the vicinity of the towns of Ellsworth.
Bucksport, ETC., which empty directly
into salt water, where the fish can be
turned loose and find the natural condi-
tions needed for them.
The eggs will soon arrive. 1t will. of

considered how short time has elapsed

not be impatisnt.-N. Y. Sun.
