 NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-The steamboat John H. Starin, which plies between this city and New Haven, Conn.,, was lowed to Jersey City yesterday afternoon in sinking condition, after lying since Friday night stranded on the rocks off North Brothers Island.
 The steamboat left Pier IS, North river, as usual at o'clock Friday night for New Haven. She was in command of Captain McAllister and was loaded with freight. She carried nine passengers
 It was foggy when she left her pier and she proceeded carefully up the East river. The fog grew thicker and at 9:2O o'clock it was so dense that the lookout could not see ten feet in advance.
 Suddenly there was a shock, and the vessel came to a stop.
 The captain dropped the lead, and then dicovered that he had run on the rocks that abound in the vicinity of North Brothers Island.
 All the passengers were asleep at the time, anu they uld not know of their whereabouts until the following morn ing, when they awoke expecting to find themselves in New Haven, but were sur prised to see that they were high and dry on the rocks.
 In the meantime, Captain McAllister had made an investigation of the dam age, and discovered big hole under the forefoot, thr ough which the water was rushing.
 captain did not care to take chances of backing off the rocks, and all Friday night the crew were kept at work pump ing out the vessel.
 On Saturday morning word was sent to the offices of the Starin Transporta- tion Company in this city, and the steamboat Lenox was sent up Saturday night accompanied by four tugs.
 The steamer took the passengers off and carried them to New Haven, while the tugs proceeded to pull the Starin off.
 They succeeded after much difficulty, but she made water so fast that in order to keep her from sinking she was grounded in the mud off Riker's Island.
 Yesterday morning two more tugs and lighter were sent up to her. She was lowed to this city and to Cosgrove's dry-dock, in Jersey City, where she is laid up.
 On the way to the city Starin's pumps and those ot the tugs had to be kept go- ing, as the water kept gaining, and once or twice the tugs stopped in order that she would not sink.

RumOrs that the Ex-Treasurcr Win Suc-
 c.ed Secretary wIndom.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Politicians to-day have been eagerly scanning cable dispatches to discover if John c. New, Consul General to London, has made ar engagements for embarkation or has actu- ally sailed for this country.
 Their anxiety has been aroused by a report in circulation that the President, within the past three days, has summon cd him to Washington. If he boards an ocean racer within the next seven days the chances are 100 to that he will be the next Secretary of the Treasury.
 The .rumor that MT. New received a communication from the President, re- questing his presence in Washing gton, has been discussed to-day with great earnestness in political resorts. Private Secretary Halford disclaimed any knowl- edge of it. He smilingly and good naturedly remarked: Better say, on in vestigation in official circles, that you se- cured no confirmation"
 Those who expect to see MT. New here soon, argue that his coming can have but one object, and that is to enter the Pres ident's Cabinet and fill the portfolio made vacant by the death of Secretary WindOm

RINGLEADERS JAILED.

Discovery of Society Organized to
 Avengs Wrongs Done Its Members.
 SHENANDOAH, Pa, Feb. Civilian and George Butsairage, Matt Moldazes and John Lalurnikus, four Polanders, have been committed to the county jail in default of g, 800 bail each, for mur- derously clubbing and stabbing five of their fellow countrymen, who were in strumental in having a friend of one of the accused sent to jail for assault and highway robbery.
 The men named are ringleaders of a society which has for its object the averaging of wrongs done its members, and the payment of all expenses of mem bers who get into trouble before the courts.
 The discovery of the society's exist ence is of great importance. Of late, it has been almost impossible for the Commonwealth to convict Poles charged with crimes, on account of the vast amount of testimony put up in favor of the accused. This kind of testimony is now believed to have been supplied by professional witnesses, members of the society.

A Wealthy Farmers Troubles,

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Feb 9.-Charles Futile, an East Hartford farmer, made an arrangement with his wife a few months ago by which he permitted her to go to Californa with young man named Samuel Warner. Soon after, Futile secured as his housekeeper a married woman whose husband had been absent two or three years, and Tut tie again seemed contented. It seems, however, that Mrs. Futile became tired of her young man, and last week she re- turned to her old home. Futile at first declined to see her, but finally she pre- vailed, and the new housekeeper was set adrift. It was the latter's turn next, and she has brought suit against Futile for betrayal. A writ of attach ment against his property has just beer served. Futile is one of the wealth fest farmers in the county. He is at present critically ill with pneumonia.

 GLOUCESTER, N. J., Feb. 9-Chief of Police Boylea and Officer Owens, of this city, were informed by a lineman of the Western Union Telegraph Company that the wire leading into the grand stand of the South Jersey Jockey Club had been tapped.
 The lineman located the point at an old slaughter house on the premises of John Galena, a saloonkeeper, about a quarter of a mile from the track. On in vestigation it was found that the connec- tion was made where the wires run over the roof.

They were seen scaling the fence and making their way toward Westville. The entire outfit was secured by the police, consisting of a new Morse set, wire and battery.
 The saloonkeeper, John Galena, on whose premises all this occurred, was regarded with suspicion in the affair.

 TRRENToN, N. J., Feb. 9.-Peter Johnson, g years old, committed sui eide at the house of friend on whom he was calling at Il a. m. in the presence of a four-year- child.
