died with him and the property was depreci-
ated in value when Jay Gould bought it. Two
showmen of small capital and standing, Poole
and Donnelly, now deceased, got the theater ut
Q moderate rental and devoted il to travelling
companies with such success a. to accumulate
considerable fortunes. At each expiration of
the lease Gould put up the price until it reached
go, 900 year, which Poole and Donnelly de-
clined to pay. and Henry L. Abbey became the
tenant At that time Gould also owned the
New York World, and his son George
was much inclined to dip into Journalism
and theatricals in an amateur but rather active
way. George had one Of the spacious proscen-
ium boxes connected with o luxuriously ap-
pointed room behind and it was understood to
be his intention to entertain his friends con-
vlvially IN thls ante room Of the stage. He
meant that the Grand should be visited by
large organizations Of comic opera and bur
lesque and the rest Of the scheme may be i'm
agined as wildly as the reader chooses. But it
was said that Jay Gould put his foot down on
this indulgence by his son, who had TO forego
the pleasures Of private green room The
box Is kept exclusive to the Goulds under the
terms Of the lease, however, and members Of
the family are frequently its quiet occupants
Georges association with stage folks resulted
in his marriage to Edith Kingdom, a beautiful
actress, and he has settled down into q circum-

One Of Napolson.. Generals.

General de Marriott was a species OF
DArtagnan in real life without pose or
gasconades, this brilliant staff officer
who traverses at full gallop the fiery
furnaces of the wars OF the empire.
Ad-de-camp Of Augereau, Of Lannes
and of Massena, ever in the saddle, ever
tnsthe front. ever i'll the midst of danger,
Marriott gallops across Europe like fig
ure in epic ohivalry. He is one of the
heroes Of this later HAD; "Qu'Homere
n5nyenterait pas, said Theophile Gau-
tier, saluting the Vieux de la Vieille.
"And Marriott is always wounded" was
. sort Of paternal reproach that Napoleon
addressed to him as u reward.
The Due dAumale Tuesday or two
ago related to some academicians that
be had seen Marriott stretched on the
ground by his thirteenth wound. This
was In Africa when, believe, the gen.
eral was chief Of the staff to the Due
FOrleans. On learning that Marriott had
been hurt, the Due d'Aumale went to
visit him and found him lying on straw
In his tent, and the old aid-de-camp of
Monticello gave vent to his wrath in a
phrase as epic as all his career, ITO be
lieutenant general, a baron of the en-
pire, peer of France, grand officer Of
the Legion of Honor, have $4,000 francs

The New Jersey Liquor Dealers
League, at Its session in Jersey City, Tues
day, formulated the demands it proposes
to make upon the next Legislature, and
in order to avoid the deception which it
claims was practiced upon the organic
alton by the Democracy last year, it will
refuse to support any candidate for the
Legislature at the coming election who
does not pledge himself to support these
demands. One is the passage OF bill
making a uniform license fee not to ex-
coed $3.50 throughout the State; another
is the repeal of the disordcrly house act,

OLD Age Insurance Societies.

The governments OF France, Germany
and Great Britain are studying schemes
contemplating the laying aside of sums
which will enable workingmen to have II
pension after they are too old to labor.
The subject is one worthy the considera-
ton OF all people who work for wages.
II is not necessary, however, for the
money 10 be under government control,
rs the German emperor desires il to be.
Persons of every trade might mutually IN
sure themselves. A small sum, so small
that it would not be missed, could be put
away every year, the person beginning
when first starting in trade, business or
profession in youth.
There need be no army OF officers TO
feed out OF the assessments and no costly
buildings to maintain. Managed on the
plan of the building and loan associations
that have proved such a benefit to work
ing people, these mutual insurance So
cieties would provide fund for the old
age OF all their members. Teachers ip
some of the large cities have started such
mutual insurance societies. Other trades
and professions can do the same. From
the funds accumulated by the moderate
yearly assessments will be provided mod.
est incomes to maintain in comfort all
who are temporarily disabled by illness.

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. Is, 1891.

"A so-called sacred concert was given
in Cadwallader Park, Trenton, last Sun
day, by Winkler's band. 1t consisted
principally of operate oyertures, gavottes
and other ''sacred" selections. Several
thousand people were drawn to the park,
the horse cars were overloaded, the horses
overworked and abused, and the first
great lesson in Sunday desecratioR given
to hundreds. The expenses of this con-
cert were borne by the horse railroad
company, 1t is stated, but let no oneques-
ton the motives of the company on this
account The longing which horse rail-
roads aud other railroads have for ''sa-
cred" things, debars any one from think
ing that gain was at the bottom of the un-
dertaking.
1t is evident from observation that the
American Sunday is being undermined,
and that If the masses continue to fall in
with the cunningly devised schemes of
selfish and hypocritical men, who profess
W uO WI hluR lot Tue Oeucut Vi the iuUOf-
ing people, while seeking TO line their own
pockets, the time is coming, and that
soon, when Sunday laws will be obsolete,
and all kinds of secular employments will
be carried on on that day. When that
time arrives, how long will it be before
those who now compel car-drivers and
Others to work that they may enjoy Sun
day concerts, will themselves be compell-
ed by their employers to work seven days
in the week, and for sac days pay
Workingmen, at least, should be careful
how they help throw the bars down, lest
they be overrun. This is no idle imagi-
nation, as the actual results OF a similar
course 10 France and Germany attest.
Let every true American stand by the
American Sabbath. The cry of Puritan
ism should not deter. The Puritans were

TERRIBLE TIME.
Earthquake Disturbances in Lower
California.
A RIVER OF BLUSH PURPLE FIRE
Flowing Down the Colorado River and .
Huge Tidal Wave Flowing Up-Men and
Animals Caught-FIre on an italian
EmIgrant Vessel

YUMA, Ariz., Aug. 1O-Reports con-
tinue to come in from the earthquake
region at the head of the Gulf of Cali
fornia- Two Cocopah Indians living
near the scene arrived here yesterday,
and state that early Thursday morning
hundreds of mud volcanoes thirty miles
in extent burst into a violent eruption
At last thunder storm cleared the air,
only to show the tidal wave approach
ing with frightful rapidity. The water
rose, swallowing up cattle, horses,
grain fields, and driving the people to
the top of the hills 100 feet above the
river
The earthquake shocks then began.
The fourth threw every one down, seri-
ously injuring many. Dust darkened
the air and the rumble of the earth
quake, the sharp explosions of the dis
tant volcanoes and the believing of the
crazed cattle created wild terror, and
the frightened Indians fed wildly up
the river. Two only succeeded in
reaching here, who tell the story. The
others dropped exhausted along the
route.
Joseph Perez, a cattleman from La
redo, and fifty men witnessed the scene
from the top of the hill, to which they
had escaped They report the tid6I
wave as fully 100 feet high and also q
river of blush purple fire flowing down
into the Colorado near the Gulf This
is undoubtedly from the sulpher mount
ain which was set on fire by the vol
ume of burning material thrown out
by the volcanoes.
Much property was destroyed The
residence and all buildings on the ranch
of Charles Townsend, breeder of fine
cattle, were levelled by the earth

FIRE ON BOARD sHIP.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-The steamship
Cachemire arrived last Friday evening
with 16O Italian steerage passengers on
board. 1t was learned yesterday for
the first time when the steamer was
but one day out from Marseilles it was
reported to the captain that the soft
coal in the bunkers was on fire. He at
once gave orders that the strictest
secresy should be observed, as, if the
news spread among the passengers, it
would be impossible to avert a panic.
Immediate steps were taken to quench
the fire, but it had already gained seri-
Gus headway. The pumps were put to
work and heavy streams of water were
poured upon the piles of coal and upon
the deck above it This was kept up
day and night for ten days and not till
the end of that time was the fire entire
ly extinguished- The captain and crew
were on almost continuous duty during
that time and were completely worn
out.
During the whole time none of the
passengers had any suspicion of the
danger in which they stood, nor did
they learn of it until port had been
reached.

ABILENE THE VICTOR.
In the Ball Game Yesterday the
Score Was II to 6.

Fort RILEY. sent up handsome dele
cation Of blue coated defenders of the
nations honor yesterday to help hurrah
at the ignOminious defeat of the Belle
of the Smoky. But they didn't hurrah
any for the simple reason they didn't
get chance. They played good ball,
but Abilene was too much for them all
around batting, coaching and kick
ing, those essentials of good player.
Fort Riley went to bat and Abilene
scattered themselves over the field IN
more or less appropriate attitudes and
waited. Johnny Lott was in the box
and he was in good form. Mccall
made few faint efforts to find the
ball and finally struck short fly to the
pitcher. O'Toole followed and after
several fouls struck out, seeming quite
surprised at finding Abe Lott so close
behind him. Tully fouled out to Kief-
fer who can play ball with greater
success than he can run for Office.
Abilene then took up the willow and
Slugger Matteson knocked one directly
at Mcmillan, who made a wild throw
TO first. This letting Matteson make
first easily, Niesley followed him and
struck out. Abe Lott was the third
victim and after he had broken the
bat and tried to kill the pitcher with
one of the pieces, reached first on Nc
Millan's error only to perish inglori-
ously at second.
Wey came to bat and made safe
hit reaching first, and finally scoring.
Mcmillan made 8 base hit but got out
ct third by 3 sharp play from j. Lott
to Niesley to A. Lott. Byer struck
out. Zimmerman reached first on a
muffed fly by Niesley. Hughes struck
a fly to Smith who was there as usual
and Fort Riley retired with but one
run to their credit.
In the second inning Kieffer reached
first On Kane's error, took second on
passed ball and finally scored. Reed
made a base hit, stole second and
scored also. j. Lott took first on Nc
Millan's error and ran in one more for
Abilene. Smith picked up the stick
with his customary noDchalonce and
reached first through Timmerman's
error. Elston struck out and Hazlett
was put out at first. MattesOn went
out by Zimmerman to Kane.
In the third inning Kane went out
by Niesley to Kieffer. Mccall made a
base hit, stole two bases and finally
scored. O'Toole made a base hit,
stole second and was put out by J. Lott
20 Niesley. Tully struck out and Fort
Riley retired with only one more score.
Niesley took first by McCall's error
and scored. A. Lott made base hit
and scored, Kieffer did the same. j.
Lott made pretty little run to first,
being encouraged by McMillan's error,
and came home safely. Smith struck
out, ElstOn was caught at first, Hazlett
struck out and the inning was over.
Quite a little sensation was caused
in the fourth by O'TOole coaching be-
YOnd the line aud getting in the way.

We are in need of some new coach
ing phrases.
Campbell can't stand adversity.
Niesley didn't want to 60 on with
the game but finally was prevailed on.
Hughes made a desperate effort to
make third when almost fainting.
If Supt. Reed can teach school as
well as he can play ball be will please
everybody.
