TO STUDY THE EVIDENCE.
The Excise Board RESERVES Decision
in the Case of Wu,fers.


IN the Case of Wu,fers.
TIL" Board OF Excise has not yet decided the
case OF John Wulfcrs, the dive.keeper at ~
University place, who has been charged by
capt. Ryan. Of tho Fifteenth Precinct, with
keeping disorderly house and resort for
women Of lewd character
At the hearing yesterday afternoon before
the Board testimony was given showing that
MulfcrS'S place was the habitual resort OF
abandoned women. who went there for the
purposes Of soliciting, and that the Liquor law
had been violated constantly. A number OF
Wulfers's customers swore that the place was
conducted in quiet and orderly manner.
commissioners Mcakim and Fitzpatrick
were the only members of the Board present
when the testimony was closed. The former
expressed very decided opinion that Wul-
lers's license should be revoked at once, but
commissioner Fitzpatrick refused to vote on
he question and demanded time to consider
I he evidence.
The result was that the decision of the
Board In the matter was reserved.
commissioner Meakm stated that he had
personal knowledge Of the disreputuble char
acter Of the place, and testined that he had
repeatedly visited 1t and had been openly
solicited By the abandoned women who con.
glegatcd there nightly.
Last night Mr. Wulfers's annex was lit
up, but none CT the Thirteenth street haI-
pies We're admitted.
DENIES THAT TAMMANy Is SHIELDING wULFERs.
commissioner Thomas +. GilrOy makes a
very emphatic denial OF the rGmor that the
political influence OF the Tammany Hall Or
ganization Is being exrrted to shield Wulfers
from criminal prosecution.
"Tammany Hail." he says. would never
lend itself to such practices, and although l
have io personal knowledge Of this case, do
not hesitate to say that all reports that the
influence of the organization Is being used to
protect law-breakers are absolutely without
foundation. You can make this denial as
positive and emphatic as you please"

New Uses for the Scrub Palm.

Everybody who has been in Florida,
and especially on the flat lands along the
st Johns river, has learned that the
scrub palmetto, a stunted palm growth,
has been poor. despised thing ever since
white men trod Florida soil. 1t has been
looked upon as worthless and cumbrous
to the land, and those who have plough
ed h-up and made every effort to kill it
out have considered it a curse. But it is
now more than likely that it will be look
ed upon as an article of value to the
owners of the land where it grows. It's

Do you see this letter, torn here 10 tho
middle OF this side7 What do you sup

used to tie up the bundle ofletters in the

thinks, but IL isn't the fact. 1t is donG

straight from the postmaster Of a large
city not very far from here. 1t Is Q
sh,a.~1 .-.c.- - a:-,::;.;S lao ,,,1,u VINO re-
ceives the letter. He knows that after
the letters have been collected at the
office they are put through tho stamping
machine, which cancels the stamp and
prints the postmark Mt the same time.
Then thoy are sorted otIt according to
their destination, and all these going to
the same place are tied up in one bundle.
They have Il peculiar way OF tying
them, used at all postoiliccs. They use
rather fine string, and it Is put around
thc bundle twice, once arO.1nd the side,
aud once around the end. The letters
are not all of the same size. Some are
longer than others, and some arc iD
square envelopes, while Others ara in the
old. fashioned long envelopes. This be.
ing so, it follows that ii the string is
drawn tight, rs it must be to hold the
letters together, some OF the larger let
tcrs will he cut on the side or end by the
string. The postoilcG thieves know thi,
as well as any one else, aud SO when they
wish to find oucif there il any money in
an envelope they simply tear it II little
on the side or the end. Almost auy
postmaster considers it II favor if II man
getting Siich letter will take it to him.
They always make an cndcavor to trace
such lettfrs, and then watch il other let.

II ia interesting TO observe how the
habit OF moving about Increases with
the facilities for gratifying Il. When
street railways were first introduced they
were intended to accommodate the linn
tied number Of business men who lived
a half mile or mile from the counting
rooms aud women who lived such dis
tance from the retail stores, and slow
going horse-car was fully equal to tn"
easy task OF dragging the limited number
OF persons about. But the Insignificant
enterprise has grown into proportions
that its projectors were not able to cou-
ceive at the beginning. The horse-car
roads alone of New York City carried
last year 1G2 900, 900 passengers. This
is 80, 900, 900 more than they carried in
the year 1876. when the first elevated
railroad was built, so that the elevated
roads which, it was thought, would de-
stroy the business Of the horse-cars have
not had any such effect. 1t might be
thought that, with l62, 900, 000 passeu-
gers carried on the surface roads, there
would be none left for the elevated ways,
and their cars would run empty. And
yet the elevated roads have had all they
could do also. They carried last year
POI ,000,0 passengers, making total
of 1868, 900, 900 for both systems. This
is 240 times the population Of the me-
tropolis. So that there were 240 trips
for every inhabitant. The per capita
number of trips in 1880 was IT'S. At
this rate it will be ouly few years be-
fore the city will exhibit the phenomeaa
OF population on wheels. Louis
