BLUED DIAMONDS In HEAPS.
An Antwerp Firm Said to Have Sole
Some 100000 Worth.

An Antwerp Firm Said to Have Sold
Some S4,OOO,OOO Worth.
People who are looking around to buy
diamonds at good bargain" would better
mind their eye." That is what the big
jewelers. and diamond-dealers in New York
recommend. The reason is that number
OF instances have lately come to public no
tice where, as the result of a good bar
gain." people have purchased low-grade off
color diamonds and paid for them many
times their value. Tie diamonds are real
enough, but they are artificialy colored be-
fore they are sold. A yellow-tinged, low
grade diamond in this way masquerades as
white diamond OF superior quality. In
some cases very responsible houses have
been made party to the deception through
failure TO subject the color of the diamond
to the proper test. The following expert
ence was reported recently to a London
paper by an English lady OF supposed means
and position;
mot long ago my husband gave me a
dlampnd ornament which he had bought at
the Army and Navy stores for ESQ, The
diamonds looked white and beautiful, and
1t was never out OF my possession until l
washed 1t, with the rest Of my jewelry, with
the household ammonia. AS | washed. two
oil the stones seemed to be changing their
color. This led me to wash more vigorously,
when these two stones turned into yellow
stores. when they agreed to substitute two
white stones for these two yellow stones. 1
believe that there is some sort of process in
Paris by means of which yellow diamonds
can be converted into white diamonds, and
remain white until washed with chemicals"
Mr.. George w. Kunz, the diamond expert
OF Tiffany " Co., said in reference to the
matter:
THE stories told by these different people
are undoubtedly true. Within the last year
great number of artificially whitened dia-
m0nds fave got into the market in Europe,
and no doubt quantities of them have made
their way to America 1t is now believed
that a single firm in Antwerp has sold be-
tween S4,0o0,000 and S5,00O,000 OF these
fraudulently eolored diamonds in the past
year. A suit has been instituted against
this firm, and l believe is still going on.
Until the case is decided it cannot, of
r course, be positively stated that this
amount of these diamonds were really sold
i'll Antwerp. But there is no doubt about
the fact that large quantities of them are
now offered for sale both in this country
and in Europe."-N. Y. Sun.

ALONG THE RAIL.
The Engineers Trouble Adjusted
by Compromise.

The General Committee Of Adjustment OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
which, under F. V. Meyers, has been in this
city for two weeks seeking the adjustment
of certain grievances existing on four d.
visions OF the Pacific system, had final con-
ference with General Superintendent j. A.
Fillmore Yesterday afternoon, and the IN EN-
bers of the committee were to leave for their
respective stations to-day. The terms of
settlement cannot be made public at pres
ent, but both sides are well satisfied with
the result.
The usual compromise was brought into
play, and the agreement is made up largely
of give and take. The committee was not
given the extra engineer asked for on the
Salt Lake division, but other concessions
were granted by the company on the run
between Carlin and Ogden equally desirable
to- the brotherhood. The run between
Oakland and Mendoza was also sat
isfactOrily arranged, and the members or
the committee will leave here feeling that
their exertions have not been in vain.
1t is not definitely known who will sue
coed Division Superintendent A. D. Wilder
of Oakland, but there is a rumor to the eff
feet that the place will be filed by nephew
of President huntington, ii. Z. Hunting
ton, now manager of the Newport News
line.
The Southern Pacific Company has just
sent an engineering party south for the pur-
pose of doing preliminary work on the
gap" between Elwood and Santa Mar
garita. The Pacific Improvement Company
has opened bids for the tunnel work on this
line, which will commence soon.
There is no change in the telegraphers'
strike. The offices are all in operation, and
all trains are moving with the usual regu-
larity. A delegation of grand officers from
the Order of Railway Telegraphers is ex-
pected here tomorrow.

BARNES GREELEY.


The Eccentric Brother of the Great Sage
of Chappaqua.
Ii you go farther and farther away from
the railroads, back even to the State line
between Pennsylvania and New York, you
will come upon an old farmhouse which
claims something OF historic interest. This is
the old Greeley homestead, and there you
may see the only brother of the great editor,
himself an interesting character. Barnes
Greeley is an erratic and extraordinary
old man. He often walks to the
neighboring village of Clymer in his
bare feet In appearance he greatly
having the same delicate and cherubc
features. His long white beard flows over
his chest. He wears an old blue army coat
and conical-shaped white felt hat He is
very willing to talk with strangers and give
his ideas of men and affairs. He has been a
great reader and still reads the Tribune with
much interest. He delights in argument
and has worsted every preacher in the
country on theological points. for he is
not orthodox, although. with twinkle
in hot gospel for some. He admires
Bob 1ngersOll, but doesn't like Talmage.
He believes in the Farmers Alliance party
because 1t recognizes women. Mr. Greeley
is champion of the down-trodden sex.
The trouble with the wimmen," he said,
'is that they don't take no interest in their
own rights. Ell they did we couldn't stop
EN- no more'n ye could mess of sheep"
The old gentleman is an ardent spirtualst
and is regarded as the high priest OF that
faith in the neighborhood.

HAVE SAVED MANY LIVES.
Heroic Record of the Wood Family
Gallant Father and Sons

Heroic Record of the Wood FamiIy-A
Gallant Father and Sons.
Here is a record of life-savng probably
without parallel in the world. and II is also
probably without parallel in the meager-
ness of the rewards received, says The Utica
Observer. 1t is the record made by the
Wood family of Poughkeepsie, n. Y, a
family consisting of father and four sons.
Captain Isaac 81. Wood and his boys have
saved at least III persons from drowning.
One of that number, a wealthy citizen,
offered the captain 81, which was declined
with thanks. A poor German laborer after
his rescue insisted on handing over $40
gold piece. The other 115 people went
home, put on dry clothes, and most of them
lodged their savfors like lot OF fraudu-
lent debtors"
Naturally the people of Poughkeepsie are
very proud of the Wood family, and some
time ago they raised a handsome fund by
subscription. Five gold medals set with
diamonds were purchased and presented to
Captain Isaac and his sons Edward A.,
Rodman H., Geurge b. and Amarr. Talk
Ing recently Of his career, the captain, who
is 10 years old. said:
Il have not touched spirituous or malt
liquors in twenty-five years. did drink
some at one time, but not to excess, and
when L drank | did not make life a burden
to other people. l kept a saloon at one
time, but concluded | did not care to live
through other peoples misfOrtunes aud
quit the business. / could have made the
old Exchange Hotel pay ii l had run a
bar. A hotel OH the river-front has very
little show without bar Well, l just
concluded l would rather work hard for a
living than owe any ease and comfort to
profits on rum. My boys have never tasted
liquor, beer, wine or even cider in their
lives, not one Of them"
Edward is employed in the Poughkeepsie
POstoffce. ROdman succeeded his father
in the city express business. George is

WHERE is PRINDLE :?
A Deputy Assessor Missing for
a Month Past.
1t Is Not the First Occurrence of the Kind.
Believed to Be Case Of Tempo
rary Derargement

Deputy Assessor Prindle has been missing
from his home, his office and the city since
November GOTH
Mr. Prindle is we'll known in the Asses
sor's office as frst-class clerk, and has
worked steadily as an appointee under Mr..
Slebe ever since the latter accepted the As
SesSorship, on the first Monday of last JAM
uary.
1t is understood, however, that Mr..
Prlndle was liable, even before entering on
his duties as Deputy Assessor, to temporary
fits OF mental perturbation, and that he has
been missing from the domestic circle and
from his official and social surroundings on
several occasions.
No entrance has been accorded to callers
al Mr.. Prindle's residence, 1872 Laguna
street. 1t appears clear. however, that the
reputation Of the missing man is good in
the nelghb0rhOOd, both as a family man and
solvent citizen. Mr. Prindle's wife,
mother ana daughter about 10 years old
remain In the house, but it is learned that
Mrs. Prindle began to make inquiries about
her husbands absence on December 1st. and
Inat he has not been seen or heard of since.
Ihere Is no suggestion that Mr.. Prindle was
addicted to drink, or embarrassed in any
way,.and his friends are confident that he
will turn up shortly.
AT the Assessors office it is stated that
his books are all right. 1t is known that
Mrs, PrIndle has had several conferences
with Assessor Siebe, as the missing deputy's
salary Is likely to be stopped from the day
OF his unauthorized and unexplained abb
seIce on November goth.
MIR. Prinde was an active Republican
worker and held the office of Registrar as a
nominee OF Governor Waterman.

At a meeting of the Health and Police
Committee of the Board OF Supervisors yes
terday representatives of the Women's So
ciety for the Correction Of Public Abuses,
headed by Mrs. DR.. Winzell, appeared and
complained about the manner in which the
bodies OF women are handled at the Morgue.
They said they considered the law more re-
sponsible than the Coroner although they
thought the Morgue service could be inl-
proved.
Coroner GarwoOd explained the difficulties
he had to contend with, aud made several
suggestions that would improve the system.
He denied the charges upon which the COM
plant of the society is based, and stated
there should be separate department for
females and In charge of matron.
Mesdames WHEEL, Howell, Murphy and
Patterson declared that this Is Just what the
society desired, and the matter was referred
to the Finance Committee, as funds for the
desired change have to be provided.
The committee agreed TO report in favor
of the ordinance providing heavy penalty
for renting houses for immoral purposes,
and it was also decided to authorize an ap-
preparation Of $50, the expenses of burying
