MERE AND THERE.

Certain bail commissioners In Maine Il
seems have become possessed Of the idea
that In the matter Of granting ball and
fixing the amour. Of Ii, they are bigger
men than the judges Of the Supreme
Court. A recent case was that OF John
l.. Sullivan at Alfred, where the prisoner
Was allowed bail by the commissioner,
who slngularly happened to be the pris-
oner's counsel, during the term Of court.
Another case was that Of the notorious
bunco men Bird aud Tuttle, whose ball
Was reduced one-half by the ball COM
missioner after Il had been fixed by the
court and the court had adjourned. The
men then managed to secure bondsmen
and left the state never to return. The
Judges Of the Supreme Court did not
exactly relish this style Of overriding
their authority; 80 at the recent session
Of the law court at Augusta, they adopt
ed resolutions declaring that no ball
commissioner Ia authorized to admit a
prisoner to bail during a term Of court
for that county, II the prisoner was
arrested on q writ returnable to that
term; they further declare that no COM
missioner IL authorized TO change the
amount Of bail fixed by justice Of the
court. Bail commissioners who offend
In these respects hereafter, will do 80
with distinct warning before them.

There was considerable firing before the

to advise peace and compromise. There
are about fifty white men under arms. 1t

4 Shrinkage of Fortunes.
Id. in Philadelphia Press

Holland. in Philadelphia Press.
1t is, of course, impossible to estimate
the shrinkages in private fortunes which
have taken place since that day of panic
of just one year ago. We hear all sorts OF
stories about these losses. 1t is common
report that one of our ablest bankers has
suffered a depreciation ia a single indus
trial security of more than two millions
OF dollars, and that his house may, through
the inability of customers to meet their
margins, be compelled to mark off a loss
quite as great.
One of the most intimate friends of
President Cleveland is reported to be worth
was upon the day of his esteemed friends
election TO the presidency. this loss rep
resenting the shrinkage in his properties.
Brokers who talk about William &. Whit
ney. and his name is much discussed i'm
financial circles. are OF opinion that the
Democratic success. through the anxiety
il has created, and through the wretchea
policy of the administration early I'm the
spring, has cost Mr.. Whitney, through de-
precautions, more than one million of dol
larS.
Chauncey NJ. Depew said TO me Just before
he went to Europe that he presumed the
greater number of the wealthy men OF this
country would find figuring up their
possessions on the LIST of January that they
were from . TO 40 per cent. less than they
were year ago, and in some cases very
much more.
And he spoke OF the extraordinary OBJ
ject lesson furnished by the experience OF
the railways in this country. believing that
from 10 TO - per cent OF the capital in
vested in them now represented bankrupt
properties. and at a rough estimate placing
the depreciation in these properties at not
far from thousand million dollars.

BOOKMAKERS ARRESTED.
Washington Authorities Determined to
Prevent Winter Racing.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26-About 500 per-
sons were in attendance at the Ivy City
track. this afternoon, when racing was re-
sumed, after a recess Of nearly two weeks.
1t was positively known that all book
makers attempting to do business in the
tent would be arrested, yet 1t was
announced that twelve BOOKS would be
opened. When the hour arrived for them to
open, however. only one man appeared the
others having decided not to sacrifice them
selves. Henry Bennington, of Brooklyn, "
", opened his book under the name of the
Detroit Club, and sold log tickets, bringing
about 500. Four detectives and three Off
while the bets were being made and lust
as the flag fell starting the first race the
detectives ds yes closed in on the men and notified
raid caused little or no excitement as
everybody understood that IL was a part of
the programme. The police took charge of
the cash box, sheet and tickets, which, to-
gether with Bennington and his clerks were
loaded into a patrol wagon and carried to
headquarters. Shortly afterward they were
taken before Judge Miller of he Police
Court, and released bonds of 81, 900 each.
Ralph Gall and Walter Hewitt were the
suretles. They VIII appear in court to-nor-
row, but IL is not known how soon the case
will be decided. 1t is rumored that the dis
trict attorney Is anxious to secure an indct-
ment at once, and TO that end will prevent
the case coming up before Judge Miller if
possible. If. however, the case is heard
by Judge Miller, 1t is probable that a de-
cision will be reached much sooner and i'm
the meantime the racing will continue.
After the first race. and the arrest OF Ben
nington, interest subsidized, and the remain
ing five races dragged YEARLY. There were
plenty OF bookmakers on hand, but none
seemed anxious TO open In the face of the
overwhelming police presence. President
Engnan stated this evening that the per-
sons arrested would be discharged by Judge
Miller tomorrow, and that cling Will be

final decision could be secured as to the le-
gality OF racing at Ivy City.
