PROSPECTS OF REFORM.

The Senate caucus at Albany last
night seems to have secured the passage
of two of the bills regarded as reform
measures and Tossed by those who are
anxious to overthrow the control OF
Tammany over the city government.
But 1t by no means renders 1t certain
that they will become laws, as after
passage they will have to run the gaunt-
let of the Executive Chamber.
one OF these bills Is that empowering
the next Mayor to remove all heads of
departments in the city government and
to appoint their successors. The other
is the bill to partially correct the abuses
Of the Dock Department BY requiring
that close corporation, the Dock Com
mission. to have all work costing over
two hundred and fifty dollars lone by
contract the same as in all other de-
partments.
The first bill would effectually get rid
of the present municipal rule II an anti
Tammany Mayor should be chosen next
November. 1t would give the next
Mayor the power, when elected, to re-
move and appoint thirty-one Commits
sloners in ten Boards, Police, Park.
Docks. Health, Excise. Fire. Charities
and Correction. Accounts. Subways and
Taxes and Assessments. besides the
seven School Commissioners, a Corpora
ton Counsel. a Superintendent OF Public
Works, u City Chamberlain, n Commits

City Record.

A CRIME.

The arrest of an ~incendiary in the act
of firing a tenement-house at midnight
in which one hundred and ten persons,
men, women and children, lay asleep,
is one of the most terrible police ex-
periences OF the day. No more horrible
crime could have entered into the most
fiendish imagination. The fire was set
in the cellar, underneath the store, and
as the most effective combustibles were
used and the whole place was saturated
with kerosene. the flames would have
spread with fearful rapidity, and all
escape for the inmates would have been
cut off.
The sole object of this terrible crime
was the desire OF the proprietor of the
store to secure the insurance on his
stock of goods. which he had already
removed to a place OF safety. The at
tempt to defraud the insurance com
pany was the most trifiing feature Of
the crime.
Formerly arson In a dwelling house
was punishable by death. Certainly
every wretch implicated In this fiend-
ish attempt should be put out OF the
active world within the walls Of a
State prison for the remainder OF his
life.

ROBBED THE -FOUR HUNDRED.
A Young Englishman Sent Home
by a Vigilance Committee.
He Stole from Clubmen and People
OF Fashion.

During the past social season a certain
young Englishman has been conspicuous
among the very fashionable set and a
frequent guest at the aristocratic clubs
Of the city.
He posed as a great swell and had in
Productions to a number of the best
families among the -Four Hundred. Not
Il few envied his popularity while the
season was at Its height. but now public
opinion has changed In regard to him.
He left New York suddenly or Satur-
day last by one Of the outgoing steam
ers, and he went away, 1t is said. under
a very dark cloud. In fact, he was
warned out of town by a commit
tee OF his indignant fellow-coun-
trymen, and he did not have time even
to leave cards with those who had so
generously entertained him during his
stay in New York or to send regrets to
teas, dinners, and parties to which he
a been invited.
The secret of his hurried departure is
said TO have been the discovery that the
young man was either a confirmed thief
or a hopeless kleptomaniac. Money,
jewelry and other v~aluables belonging
to his friends n acquaintance had
been disappearing mysterious!y all Win
ter long, n 1t was not until a few days
ago that this Systematic th1eving was
traced to him..
Then there was an explosion. He was
visited last Friday by a vigilance oom-
mittee, made n full confession Of his
guilt, and was told that he must get
out of town within twenty-four hours.
This he did, only taking an u or SO
to pack his gripsack. Since this expo

man had by no means a savory repu i.
tation in England, and that he had been
guilty of the same dishonest practices
in London. 1t appears that he was re.
ceived in New York entirely on trust.
and some letters of introduction, which
have been spurious. AS he was of

left them all in a very embarrassing

SAVED ANOTHER LIFE.

from drowning last night. This makes
the total number of persons he has

there his marvellous record as a Ifs

Wilson was In after him.
1t was dark and no one could see the
man who was struggling In the water.
The other 'longshoremen hooted and
laughed at Wilson's efforts as he sprang
down a ladder from the shore and swan
out towards the spot where the cries and
splaShes of the drowning maj we're
heard. When the fellow was pulled
back to the foot OF Wilson'S ladder he
ran up and disappeared without leaving
his name or even stoppins to thank his
rescuer.
Wilson used to use n raft. which was
kept moorcd under the pier, IN saving
life. This had to be done away with

the end which he fastens to the stringer

A MERE EVASION.

The Carnegie Company Is nov seeking
to avert further investigation into
frauds in the armor-plate manufactured
by them for the warships by pleading
that the payment of one hundred and

Black Is Fashionable.

Black dresses are fashionable, so much
so it is not always easy to distinguish
whether they mean mourning or not.
For this reason modistes are adding a
touch of color. A dead-black wool
trimmed with crepe Is less expensive by
far than the all-crepe dresses. which
very few wear in this country. silk
are not worn except for so-called light
mourning. Black gros grains promise to
be generally worn this Spring. The new

WHERE rs BACoN'B BIRTHDAY.

Shakespeare's birthday was celebrated
yesterday at Stratford = on = Avon
Wreath were placed IN the dramatist's
tomb. and many pretty n enthusiastic
things were said about him which. OF
course. he didn't hear. The cable
dispatches makes no mention of any
friends Of Sir Francis Bacon participant
ing In the Jubilation, and NJ suggestion
was offered TO exhumc the remains and
ascertain whether Shakespeare was
really resting there or whether Lord
Bacon had been inferred in his stead.
1t must have made the Baconians feel
quite mean to see tributes going to the
divine Williams tomb which in reality
belonged to the other man II Sir Fran
els sat up late OF nights writing Shakes
peare's plays, and had all the trouble
of digging them out OF their Italian and
other sources and licking them into
shape to dazzle the ~groundllngs and
please the dramatic critics of the Eliza
betnan era, this thing of ignoring him
entirely on Shakespcarc's day must In
~terfere somewhat with the comfort and
serenity OF his everlasting rest. He has
never had his name on the bills as a CO.
author, it il only decent and fair, now
that Igratius Donnel.y n Or. over
