Why a Duplicate Brooklyn Bridge Is
Coming in a Hurry,
Potter and an ArcAbishopric, Mrs.
Annie Beslut, and New York So
ciety- Byrues in New Light.

New York In spite of ali its friends can
do This is attrinutcd partly to Boss Hugh
NcTaughlm and his followers, who see
in an increase of yiaducts between New
York aud Brooklyn but move in the di-
rectiou of consolidation, and partly TO
those whose interests are bound up with
Eas, River ferry traffic Thus IL Is that
while I'm appearance we are moving IN the
direction of new bridges they retreat
more and more into the remote perspec-
tive of mere possibility. 1t seems
now however. that an organized effort
bv New York's workingmcu is TO be made
looking 10 the rapid building OF more
bridges. 1t is argued that this would
pive cmDlOvmeut 10 hundreds OF idle
men. for despite the building activity Of
Gotham contractors there are many
laborers and craftsmen out OF work aud
the mquestionod need Of the community
for plenty of bridges is considered the
workingmens opportunity, az least ny
themselves The Central Labor Union
certainly takes this view of the matter,
and as Tammany never opposes the labor
ing classes when it can be avoided, II
seems probable that the Brooklyn bridge
will not be the only structure of its kind
in shorter time than the public here
seems disposed to believe.
MRS. CROKER AGAIN.
1t is hardly fair to impute to Mrs.
Richard Croker any implication in the
discoveries Of her aristocratic lineage,
now so tIimphantly heralded by some
New York friends of hers That the
Tammany diCtatOr'S wife is descended
from the nOblest houses Of France and
ireland. and that her family and that Of
f..N1
long been well known TO those who know
the lady. She is herself displeased at
the imputatiOn of snobbishuess in the
proclamation of these facts and
has always rcfrained from men
tionlng them Ii is absurd,
however. to suppose that Mrs Croker
means TO live in France. 1t is certain
such an idea was never seriously enter
FAMED by her and the rumOrs OF one KIND
and another circulated in New York
about Mrs Croker are due, il is under
stood, TO the jealousy of some who view
her rapid social rise with envy. When
ever il is desired TO annoy MIR. Croker
some absurd story is started, as, for in
stance. that she is studying the Chinese
language or that she intends to put four
horses TO her carriage, both of which
statements never had any truth in them.
Mrs Croker pays no heed TO this gossip
and never takes the trouble to contra
dict it.
THE ILLUsTRIOUS DOUBLES.
ChaunceyM. Depew has Just had framed
a picture of the Duke of Veragua
which so resembles himself that even the
railroad presidents warm friends mis-
take it at first sight for his own likeness.
Mr.. Depew has always said that this re-
semblance was source of great gratifi-
cation to himself, and when Cornelius
Vanderbilt humorously suggested that
the duke remain here and Chauncey go
back TO Spain, as nobody could tell the
difference, the idea was received with
playful CONSERVATION New York could
never part with Chauncey M Depew.
How true is the report that
the dukes finances will be i'm
proved by substantial contributions from
the Vanderbilts remains to be seen. No
one is surprised in New York at the at
titude of the Marquis De Barbolas and
his request that he get a slice of the fund
raised or to be raised, for the descendant
of Columbus Heand his cousin, Veragua
We're never very cordial and it seems that
when last in New York the Columbian
family were not on very good terms with
one another. At all events the duke did
his best to have his unpresentable linen
washed i'm private and is far more popu-
