A County Clerk to Be Examined.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Nov. "a "A sensa-
ton was created in political circles late
yesterday afternoon by the serving upon
County Clerk Geo. j. Cotton, of noti-
fication from Gov. Hill, that he had
been charged with malfeasance in Office,
and that he would be accorded a hear
ing at Albany on Wednesday next at ,
p. m. These charges are the outcome
of the recent litigation in which the
Board of County Canvassers became in
volved over the returns from the First
Assembly District Of this County. The
Board of Canvassers is Democratic by Il
majority of one, and they voted a certi-
ficate of election to P. j. Ryan, the
Democratic candidate, though the Re-
publicans claim that their candidate,
David J. Munro, jr., has plurality of
&c. The Court has issued an order re-
straining the County Clerk from issuin g
the certificate to Ryan.

BROOKLYN'S WATER FAMINE.
The Break Repaired just In Time to Re
lieve Serious Distress.

The Break Repaired just In Time to Re
lieve Serious Distress.
BROOKLYN, N. Y, Nov. "a. The break
which occurred in the conduit of the
main water pipes near R1dgewood last
Saturday, was repaired at o'clock last
night and the water has been turned on
again, thus relieving the distress of the
people in this city, who were unable to
obtain water from the reservoir yester-
day.
Heroic measures were adopted vest er-
day to make the supply of water last as
long as possible, and a number of tn e
great ind ustries of the city were at a
standstill for at least one day. All the
factories using the city's water were or
dered to shut down so as to save the
water for the necessities of the general
public.
The great engine which runs the ca
BILE on the Brooklyn Bridge was stopped,
and as many people possible were
showed across the bridge by locomotives,
All the fires under the boilers at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard were drawn and
work was entirely suspended. The
water was shut off from the boilers in
all the hotels and office buildings, and,
as consequence, not an elevator in the
whole city was running. Work in every
IacCory "Helo sUe"ih 10 o0P o1i toi
motive power was suspended, and the
number of those thrown out of work ran
far up above so, 900.
Several fires broke out during the day
and night, and owing to the lack OF
water the firemen had the hardest kind
of time to subdue the flames. The whole
block from Harrison to Degraw and from
Court to Henry streets was burned down
last night. The loss is very heavy.
A number of narrow escapes are re
ported.

TALL GIRLS HAVE THEIR DAY.
Sliinness and Aspiring Height Are Quite
the Thing at Present.

Slilnness and Aspiring Height Are Quite
the Thing at Present.
1t is the fashion for girls to be tall.
This is much more than saying that tall
girls are the fashion, says a writer in
Harper's. 1t means not only that the
tall girl has come in, but that girls are
tall and are becoming tall because it is
the fashion, and because there is de.
mand for that sort Of girl. There is nc
hint of stoutness, indeed the willowy
pattern is preferred, but neither is
leanness suggested; the women of the
period have got hold of the poets idea
tall and most divincly fair" and are
living up to it. Perhaps this change il
fashion is more noticeable in England
and on the continent than in America
but that may be because there is les!
room for change in America, our girl
being always of an aspiring turn. Very
marked the phenomenon is in Europe
this year; on the street, at any concer
or reception, the number of tall girls i.
so large as to occasion remark, es
pecially among the young girls JUS
coming into the conspicuousness O.
womanhood. The tendency of the new
generation is toward unus ual heigh
and gracious slimness. The situation
would be embarrassing to thousands Of
men who have been too busy to thinl
about growing upward, were it not fol
the fact that the tall girl, who must be
looked up to, is almost invariably being
nant, and bears her height with sweet
timidity that disarms fear. Besides, the
tall girl has now come on in such force
that confidence is infused into the grow
ing army, and there is a sense of sup
port in this survival of the tallest tina
is very encouraging to the young.

the weak tone of the system; that the
way to cure these effects was to remove
the cause, that human nature being the

THE rule or ruin policy advocated by
Charles G. Commerford should be
frowned upon by every true democrat.
1t is the dying wall of a leader who has
been tried and found wanting, but who
does not cheerfully abide by the will of
the people. The incendiary circular
which is being distributed by CONNER
ford is intended to disrupt the democrat
ic party in this district. Either that or
its author has not the political sagacity
of ten-year-old. The idea of a man
who stands on record as having openly
worked against the candidates of his
party, attempting to force himself into
prominence before the wound he
inflicted is healed, is prepos-
ferrous. If Commerford and his
friends are really in earnest in their de-
sire to establish harmony before the
campaign of 1899 is opened, they can
prove their sincerity by falling into line
and following the policy laid out by
those in power. This is on general
principles. AS for the opposition to
F. j. Brown, it is a purely personal
matter. Mr. Brown comes of a
family of staunch democrats and has
never proved traitorous. Year after
year he has worked for the success of
the party and it was no fault of his that
Commerford ct al deserted the old flag.
Mr. Browns term as member of the
state central committee will not expire
until January, 1893.

ALL sorts of improbable stories con-
corning the speakership contest are
being told for the purpose of aiding or
injuring this or that candidate, but
there has really nothing occurred dur
ing the week to either encourage or dis
courage any one of the candidates or his
friends, although it is believed that
something may have taken place in
New York city during the latter part of
last week, when several of the candi-
dates were there, that may later on
have an important bearing upon the re-
suit; but even that is supposition, for
the conferences that took place in New
York were secret and none of those who
attended care to say at this time what
was done. 1t is now apparent that the
majority of the members of the house
will not arrive in Washington until
after Thanksgiving day; therefore the
speakership fight will have to wait I'M
til the turkey, etc, is disposed of before
it can get down to busir ess.

Tic Dublin Irish Catholic publishes
an article in which it solemnly asserts
that scheme is already in operation in
many parts of Ireland, including that
city, to draw the young men of the
country into the membership of certain
secret societies alike accused by the
church and banned by the law. This
scheme, the Irish Catholic says, aims at
preventing the attainment of home rule
for Ireland in a constitutional manner,

eighteen years, and was beloved by all his
associates, from the manager TO the young
est member of the company. Mr.. Edwards,
too, had been member of Mr.. Days es-
TENED society Of artists, and it is worth
recalling as q coincidence that his last per-
Torrance under Mr.. Days management,
years ago, was in the character Of Adam.
A PATHETIC INCIDENT.
Last Tuesday morning" June 9TH, said
Mir. DAILY, Speaking of the deaths OF these
TWO men, Il received telegram just AS |
got my mail. IL announced the death OF
Mr.. Edwards. Strangely enough, one OF
the unopened letters l held in my hand was
from Edwards, and in 1t he wrote most hope
fully OF his condition, said he was improving,
and promised me that | should see him
around all right in very short time The
sensation of reading the letter was very
strange indeed. 1t was like a cOmmunica-
ton from the dead" Presently Mr. Daily
reverted to Fisher and some of the noted
characters he had played well, Jesse Rural
and Monsieur Alphonse among them.
There was particular charm about his
Falstaff. He acted that part remarkably
we'll and was the only actor / ever saw who
kept you in mind of the fact that Falstatf,
despite his drunkenness, grOssness and gem
orally diSSOlute conduct, was knight. A
certain indeScTibable dignity perVaded the
performance. He last played the part six
seasons ago, when be was too i'll to permit
the continued run of the play, but SIX OF his
representations of the character In that DrleI
time were decidedly the best ever saw"
Mr.. Fisher was the last of his school in
this country, the cultivated, refined actor, as
graceful in modern comedy as skilled and
capable in classic roles. There was both
deicacy and power in his work, and it will
be many a day before our stage is honored
by an actor like him.
