The Ex-Candidate Deeply Interested in
Grants Success.


New York, Nov. 2.-In view of the re-
ports yesterday regarding the attitude of
the Straus family interest was excited
this evening by a letter sent to ex-Mayor
Grant by Isadore Straus in regard to the
attitude of his brother, Nathan Straus
on Mr.. Grants candidacy, in which Ma
than Straus is quoted as expressing a
deep interest in the success of the present
Tammany candidate for mayor.
Another letter which may have consid-
erable effect on the Hebrew vote was one
from prominent Israelites defending Col
Strong from the charge that he had aided
in the exclusion of a member of the Sc
ligman family from the Union League
Club.
A letter from Col Asa Bird Gardiner
attacking Col. Strong for his course as a
member of a committee of the New
York Life Insurance Company, and the
charges and counter charges as to the
use of Mr. Mortons name as an officer of
the Excise Reform Association, We're
among the other topics of conversation
among politicians.
At the state democratic headquarters
tonight it was announced that "a mem
bers of the Tammany Hall organization
in the Twenty assembly district
had resigned from that body and joined
the state democracy.
Betting on state and city results con-
tinues to favor Morton and Strong. On
the stock exchange IS 900 to $500 was
wagered to-day that Strong would be
elected mayor, and as much more was
offered without finding takers. One bet
of 81 900 to S400 was made on Morton for
governor, which is an increase of odds
as they have heretofore been conceded
by the hackers of the republican nominee

LONG AND SHORT HAULs.
An Injunction Secured Against the
Roads in the Summerville Case.

~NNoNS IL hho Odbbs
Charleston, S. c., Nov. 2.-In the United
States circuit court to-day proceedings
were instituted which will do much to
settle the dispute that exists between the
South Atlantic ports and the Southern
Railway and Steamship Association.
A year or two ago II. w. Belmer and
other merchants at Summerville. which is
twenty-five miles north of this city, be-
gan proceedings before the interstate
commerce commission against system of
roads running between Charleston and
Memphis. Their specific ground of COM
plant was that the rate of freight upon
nay from Memphis to Summerville the
shortest distance, was 2S cents per hun
dred pounds in carload lots, while the
rate on the same class of freight from
Memphis to Charleston, the longer dis
tance, was but 19 cents per hundred
pounds.
After a good deal of circumlocutlon a
decision was finally reached by the COM
mission favorable to the petitioners, but
there the matter ended. The railroads
took no notice whatever of the ruling of
the commission. To-day, however the
proceedings took another turn in the
shape of an application to the federal
court for a rule.
This resulted in an Injunction directed
against the Louisville and Nashville rail
road, the Central Railroad and Banking
Company Of Georgia, and H. M. Conner,
its receiver as lessees of the Georgia rail
road, the Memphis and Charleston rail-
road, the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia and the Southern Railway Com
pany, and the South Carolina and Georgia
Railway Company, restraining them from
demanding, collecting, or receiving any
greater compensation in the aggregate
for the transportation Of hay or other
commodities carried by them under cir
cumstances and conditions similar to those
in the case from Memphis, in the state of
Tennessee, to Summerville, in the state
Of South Carolina, than they cotempora-
neously charge and receive for the trans
portation Of hay and other commodities
for the longer distance from Memphis to
Charleston. The South Carolina and
Georgia railroad is further restrained from
imposing, demanding, charging, collect
ing or receiving the added local OF 9 cents
in addition to the through rate of 10 cents
to Charleston. The injunction is made re-
turnable on Dec. 3. The determination
Of the suit will have a very important
bearing on the war now being waged be-
tween the South Atlantic ports and the
rate committee Of the Southern Railway
and Steamship Association.

exercises opened. The greatest enthusiasm
prevailed, and commencing with an ova-

gave the Vice President abundant ap-

cheers, greeted every mention of the name
of President Cleveland.

Nearly all day yesterday a dense fog hung over

Hook lghtshlp Incoming and outgoing vessels were
greatly delayed by 1t. The Cunard steamer Lucania
left her pier in the morning. but did not dare to
pick her way through the dense vapor. and
anchored in Gravesend Bay. BY doing this she lost
the morning tide and had TO walt until evening be-
fore she could 20 the Bar. The ferry
boats in the early morning had hard time of II

Ferry boats made half-houry trips and the South
BROOKLYN boats ran only about once an hour;
Toward noon the fog lifted In the Upper Bay, and
the river traffic was resumed with It's accustomed
regularity There were many narrow escapes from
collision in the early morning on the rivers. but
none took place The disabled steamer Persian
Monarch which was towed up from Shlnnecock
the night before anchored In the early morning on
the Bar and did not dare to come in until the
afternoon on account of the fog. The fog was
particularly thick IN the Narrows. where the smoke
from the oil works on Constable Hook had blown
over and banked up by the southerly wind, added
density to the vapor.
