 tice."-'
 Lord coleridge used to tell with giee an anecdote concerning dinner given to him in Chicago by q distinguished lawyer. where a collopse of the ban quet was threatened owing to the too vigilant attention of the sheriff's offi- cers who held a writ of h. ia, over the hosts goods and chattels. However, the threatened danger was averted. On the same occasion. he had stipulated and was assured that there would be no speeches: but, to his discontinue, he saw his host retire into a corner with his secretary before dinner was announced. to settle the final proofs of & speech which he later delivered with much success at the banquet.
 Lord Coleridge was a good deal both cred by that product of the nineteenth century, the interviewer: and on his way to Chicago one of these gentlemen. falling otherwise to draw him out, be- gan to belittle the old country in the matter of lakes and rivers and moun- tains, and even men. Lord Coleridse bore it out patiently: finally, the in- terviewer said: T am told. my lord, you think a great deal of what you call your great fire of London. We'll. guess that the confiagration we had in the little village of Chicago made your great fire look very small" To which Lord Coleridge blandly responded: Sir. have every reason to believe that the great fire of London was quite as great as the people at the time desired" Lord Russell In North American Re- view.

Golf.
From Harper's Weekly.]

Newport is to inaugurate another sporting event this year in the way of a golf; championship, to be held in Sep tefnber over the links of the recently organized club. The tournament is open to members of all golf clubs, and for ! very handsome cup. Apropos of cups reminds me that hear already of complaints against men that are con cealing their true form in order to gain advantage in handicap tournaments. It seems always to be the same old story nowadays--to win, whether by fair or foul means What is the matter with we Americans that we cannot always be sportsmanlike? Is 1t possible that the intrinsic value of the frouhN hN-tempts our avarteto1sa souls beyoad resistance?

BURGLAR PROOF COFFIyS.
The Free and Easy Talk by Which WAsh'
 ington Agent Sells Them.

The Free and Easy Talk by Which wash-
 ington Agent Sells Them.
 During the past few weeks Washing ton has been canvassed by the agent of one of the most peculiar pieces of funer- al paraphernalia ever invented. It Is a burglar and fire-proof coffin. with so many strange adjuncts that person seeing 1t for the first time would throw up his hands in holy horror at the au- dacity of the inventor and the admlra- ble nerve of a manufacturer that will place such an article on the market. Despite the many ghastly features in connection with these collins and the almost blasphemous talk of the enter prising agent this city has proved lucrative field for him to work, and now a number of citizens are equipped with the strangest burial appliance of the decade. The description of the coffin as given by the agent, is as fol- lows:
 Primarily the coffin is fire and bur glar-proof. The case is made out of boiler iron hardened with old bone, spruce bark and leather, which forms an enamel which cannot be penetrated by chisel or drill. It is put together with angle iron and flush rivets The locks are all on the inside, so construct ed with hooks and staples with spring behind them that when pin Is drawn out from, the outside the bolts spring down and lock automatically and the coffin is then locked so that it cannot be opened from the outside. The only person who can unlock and open the strange coffin is the person inside.".
 There are two grades of cofins- those for vaults and those to be in tered in graves. The coffin to be placed in a vault is equipped with tor pedoes that can be exploded from the inside. The theory of this Is that in case a person Is buried alive he can throw back the bolts, explode the tor pedoes and warn the sexton and thus escape. The coffin to be placed fin the grave has attached strong spring and arm. In case the person inside finds that he wishes to get out, all he has to do is to throw back the spring, and this arm is thereby released and cuts it's way to the top, exploding a torpedo and warning the keeper of the grave yard.
 The collins are sold at so much per pound, and. the first purchaser does not have to pay anything down. He simply gives a written guarantee to the manufacturer that he will pay for the coffin from his estate within fifteen days after death, or, failing to- do this, the manufacturer can claim his body to do what he may wish with 1t. The collins were originally invented at Ypsi- lanti, Mfch., and the invention was due to necessity. At the time that the company gained it's inception Ypsilanti and Ann Arhor and other Michigan towns were being overrun with grave robbers. It was to counteract the, ef- fects of this that the collins were made The scare had become so bad that the pie had got in the habit of placing a body in receiving vault guarded by an armed sentry. Then 1t was this com pany began operation.-Washlngton News.

Bo cablc to the United Press.

LONDON, Nov. "a, 1894-The Central
News correspondent at Shanghai says
the fall of Port Arthur has created great
excitement in the native quarter OF
Shanghai The news of the capture of
Port Arthur by the Japanese was
brought from Che-Foo yesterday by a
British steamer. No details of the fight
have yet been received, but all accounts
agree that the Chinese fought gallantly
and desperately. Some of the officers and
men in the forts refused to surrender,
and were all cut down by the Japanese.
The Star publishes a despatch saying
that the Japanese torpedo boats en-
gagged the attention of the forts while
the troops closed around the forts at the
rear. Then the torpedo boats made a
sudden and concerted dash and succeed
ed in getting inside the harbor. The
Japanese artillery in the rear kept up
continuous fire upon the Chinese forts,
and the infantry made a succession of
attacks upon the outer defences, which
they captured After the first onslaught
by the japanese the resistance of the
Chinese is said to have been feeble, and
finally the Chinese troops became panic
stricken and fed.
BEGAN. ON THE 2OTH.
A despatch to the Central News says
that the real fighting at Port Arthur
began on November 20 in the third pass,
the Village of Shuisz-Yang having been
captured on November 10.

battle and the fall of Port Arthur to
Che-Foo
The Shanghai correspondent of the Cen
trail News says it is estimated that $4,000
to $4,000 Chinese troops defended Port
Arthur. 1t is supposed that two Chinese
warships were also at Port Arthur.
The Foreign Office has received de-
spatch from the British Minister at
Toxic confirming the report of the cap
ture of Port Arthur.
The Globes Shanghai despatch says
that China has sent a special agent to
Japan with instructions to accept any
terms of peace except the cession of any
portion of China proper to Japan.
TO PAY THE INDEMNITY.
The Central News says that several
foreign and English banks have offered
to contract for a Chinese war indemnity
gold loan at four per cent.
A. despatch to the Globe says that the

AN AMUSING JUDGE.
OyerruIes an Order of the Supreme


OyerruIes an Order of the Supreme
Court.
WASHINGTON, Nov. "a, 1S94-An un-
usual and in some respects amusing
complication has arisen between Associ-
ate Justice White and United States
District Judge Isaac C. Parker of the
Western District of Arkansas and it was
expected that an order in reference
thereto would be made to the Supreme
Court previous to its adjournment yes
terday for a recess until next Monday
week. The matter was brought to the
attention of the Court at its session last
Monday, when ex-Attorney General Gar
land presented a motion asking leave to
file petition for a writ of mandamus,
to be issued bp Justice Parker.
At the May term this year of the
District Court in Arkansas, lafayette
Hudson was convicted of an assault with
Imprisonment in the Kings County (NeW
York; Penitentiary. On the 14th of Aug
ust, counsel for Hudson presented a Pc
tition to Justice White for a writ of err
ror to the District Court to reverse its
judgment and for a writ of SupeFSedeaS
and bail ending, said writ of error. This
petition was endorsed by Justice White
in these words writ of error, to op-
crate as a supersedeas allowed, returna-
bic according to law the defendant to
furnish bond in the sum of $1,000 con
ditional according to law, to be ap-
proved by the District Judge"
When court convened in September,
Hudson presented to Judge Parker his
bond in the sum of $1,000 and asked to be
discharged frcm custody. Judge Parker
refused to approve the bond or to dis
charge the prisoner, and made the follow
ing entry on the courts records respect
ing the order of Justice WHITE
1T is found by the Judge of this court
that the above order is made without
authority of law. and is. therefore, in
valid, and that the bond approved by
him in obedience to it would be null
and void, and that there would be no
obligation of the sureties to have the
principal in court when and where he
is required by the terms of the bond to
appear, nor would there be any obliga-
tions, resting on the principa, to appear,
as required by the terms of the bond.
For the above reasons, the Judge of
this court refuses to approve the bond
rendered by the defendant; and further,
il is noted that defendant has made no
legal tender of ball.
The motion of Mr.. Garland of last Mon
day followed. This practical overruling
of a JJustice of the Supreme Court by
District Court Judge has created con-
siderable amusement among lawyers who
have become cognizant of it and they
are watching the case with some eager
ness to see what will be the outcome

NAVY MARTINETs.
Efforts TO Re Establish the Old 1Ime
Grind at Annapolis.

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a, 1894.-Captain
Cooper, who assumed command of the
Naval Academy the fifteenth instant, is
said to be already displacing the easy
discipline that has been permitted among
the cadets for several years past and
enforcing certain regulations which ma
terially eurtail the liberties recently en-
joyed. 1t is understood that hereafter
cadets will not be allowed to visit Of
ficers' quarters except on Saturday, while
heretofore they have made such visits
every day. Captain Cooper has decided
that the social cultivation of embryo
naval officers has been too free. to the
disadvantage of their technical educa-
ton.
He proposed by increasing the hours
of study and other duties to reduce the
time of odleness and thereby strike at
the root of hazing. Commander Brown
has concluded that the cadets have been
injured by too much liberty, and he is
said to be heartily in accord with Captain
Cooper's reforms In the meantime the
cadets are appealing to their Congress-
men to influence the Department in
their behalf, and it is probable that fine
row will result when the Congressman
return to the Capitol.
Secretary Herbert has promised to
support the Academy authorities in
their reforms, but naval officers gener-
ally side with the cadets and declare
to be sought rather in doing away with
many of the regulations and giving the
cadets additional latitude and trusting
still further to their personal honor.

HURT BY HIS OWN FAULT.
Trolley Switchman's Mishap =
shameful Arrest

Patrick Kileen. over sixty years old,
of No 80 Church street, is an employe
of the Co :, idated Traction Company.
1t is his duuJ to clean the switches. The
switch at West Side avenue is seldom
used and is kept blocked. Pat cleaned
it this morning, and in doing so threw it
to the wrong side. Motor car No. 81, in
charge of Max Dansky, of No. "a Clay
ton street Newark came along on the
down track and Pat stepped in the
centre of the up track to get out of his
way. The motorman rang his bell as
matter of precaution. Pat thought he
was out of harms way, and SO did the
motorman.
The car was going at moderate rate
of speed, and it was this that saved the
switch-cleaner from being crushed to
death beneath the wheels.
When the car struck the switch, instead
the up track. The motorman was totally
unprepared for such an event. but with
great presence of mind he reversed the
Ger.
He did not do it in time, however, to
prevent Kileen from being struck. The
old man was knocked down, and the
iron projection on the front of the car
struck him heavily in the body. When he
was picked up he was in a pretty bad
condition. He was bruised about the
legs and body, and it is feared that he
He was removed to the City Hospital,
and the motorman was arrested by
Patrolman Teut and taken to the Sew
enth precinct police station.

PRICE OF BREAD REDUCED.

Sixteen Ounce Loayes for Three Cents
Liv ely Competition Among Bakers.
About one-half of the bakers in the city
have reduced the price of bread. Per-
haps the first man to make the reduc-
ton was Henry Bates of Newark ave-
nue. and Coles street. He is selling
loaves of bread weighing sixteen ounces
for three cents. 1t was always Gus
tomary among bakers to reduce the
price of one day old bread from five
cents to three, but now it is being sold
for one and a half and two cents a loaf.
The National Baking Company has
made a greater reduction in bread than
any other baker in the city. Loaves
which retail for five cents are now being
sold for two cents For the first time in
several years there is a lively competi-
ton among the bakers in the bread line.
The reduction in the price was brought
about by the sweeping reduction in -four
Barrels of the best flour are being sold
at prices ranging from 81 to $3 Flour is
plentiful and there appears to be no

five cent loaVes.

BOULEVARD ABUSES.
Reckless Drivers and Saucy CycIers
Under Police RRn.

Chief of Police Murphy has decided
to stop fast and reckless driving on
the Boulevard, particularly on Sunday.
Residents of the Heights have complain
ed that it is not safe for men, women
OF children to attempt to cross the
road. The Chief has asked Judge Blair
for an opinion as to the extent of his
power in regulating the speed at which
horses may be driven.
The Chief does not wish to be regard
ed as a crank in this matter. He says
that all the racing is done between the
Pennsylvania Railroad and the Newark
and New York Railroads. That local
ity is too thickly populated to make
fast driving safe. AS soon as the road
is finished, below the Newark and New
York Railroad he will not object to fast
driving there, as the intersecting streets
do not cross the Boulevard.
The police tomorrow will not allow
six or eight fast drivers to get in a
bunch and monopoliZe the road to the
danger of every one else.
The Chief has also decided to sit down
on cycIers. 1t has been reported to
him that wheelmen take the middle of
the road and race with horsemen. The
cyclers dodge in and out between the
carriages. and the Chief believes it will
be better for every one to keep the
cyclers as close to the curb as practica-
BILE. Drivers say that the cyclers have
become a nuisance. They attempt to
monopolize the road and refuse to get
out of the way of a horse.

the totals some time today to Justice

the totals some time today to Justice
Lippincott.
From the figures read out last night
by the Court. the Republicans kept a
strict tally. When the recount closed
at half past ten o'clock Aid. Dusenberry
took the figures, and. with other Republi-
cans, made up result which elects
Thomas Jacob, d. Cagney, Richard NJ
Smart, William NJ Parslow and Pierce j.
Fleming, Democrats, and James f.
Blackshaw, Henry c. Gruber, Robert
McAndrew, Henry NJ. Nutzhorn, William
E. Drake and Frederick Scnober, Repub-
licans.
This result is attained without includ-
ing the votes in doubt. and which the
Court must rule upon. The Republicans
viii! contest at least all the votes found
in the box of the Fifth precinct of the
First district without the official envei-
opes, and they threaten 10 oppose the
counting of the unmilled votes found.
Should Justice Lippincott allow these
votes, as he has limited it is proper he
should, then it is confidently claimed
that Frederick C. Wolbest, Joseph P.
Mullin and Thomas Jacob are elected
Democratic Assemblymen.
The final result, therefore, hinges on
the ruling of the Court.
Mr. Gritten's official figures, less of
course, the disputed votes, were read
aloud by Justice Lippincott in open
court, as follows:-

being so cnangeable, owing to the Pc

is the fact that only one slip is being

and the lumber and RATS in the. river
adjoining the open slip caused a block

The damages, Mr.. woolsey stated, will

be ready for use again in about six or
seven weeks.
Pilot Henry Meyer has not been dis

He will have to give an account of the ac-
