Dr. Dennis bowling Mulcahy OF Newark has a
long-standing grievance against the Console
dated Traction Company. He occasionally tries
~ get even by compelling the company TO con-
form to the ordinances under which the fran
chses were obtained. He objects 10 paying
more than Ave cents fare In the city OF Newark
because. he declares. the company Is not legally
entitled to any more.
The Newark and New York line refuse local
passengers except at ten cents fare. They run,
alternately, through cars and others which run
only 10 the city limits. Some time ago Dr. Null
cahy boarded one Of the New York cars and
rode as far as he wanted tO for nothing because
the conductor would not accept the legal fare,
hye cents, and did not care 20 put the big and
bTawny Doctor on. Policemen refused TO inter-

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Aug. l2.-Several days

kansas, said that he was in possession Of infor-
nation that would unqucstionably prevent the
inauguration OF James =. Clarke. the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, In case he should
be elected next month. Col. Fletcher refused

ported to-day that the committee was at work
preparing charges against Gen. Clarke. They
allego that under the Constitution he Is inell-
gible because he sent challenge to fight duel
several years ago.
Gen. Clarke's friends admit that he once sent
a challenge to p. n. McCulloch. the present
Congressman from the First Arkansas District,
to fight a duel. but the meeting did not take
place on account Of the refusal of McCulloch to
fight. Clarke was never convicted OF the Of

CAPT. CrOssAaa or the Alliance sees More
Electricity thAa Ever Before.

Capt. Crossman OF the steamship Alliance OF
the Columbian line. which arrived at Quarantine
last night says that he has never seen In his
thirty-hve years experience at sea more gor-
geous electrical storm than that he passed
through on Cape Hstteras on Friday night.
Out OF the clouded sky there came a series OF
flashes OF varied hues. Electrical showers fell
into the sea for several hours. The end Of the
display resembled the simultaneous discharge
OF a million rockets. Then followed darkness
and torrents Of ralR.
Capt. Hansen Of tile Norwegian fruit steamer
BanAn, which arrived from BararOa last night,
likened the electrical display to an immense
sun varying IN brightness from duh glow 20
an intense light, with Intermittent flashes
across its face and around II. At one time IL

Bergs from the glacial consts of Greenland and
Labrador, drifting down into the lane ~ steam
ship travel, on the verge Of the Gulf stream,
have created mist barrier as dangerous rs any
ever recorded by the photographic experts. The
zephyrs Of summer, breathing on the lce raise
a avapor which stretches for nearly Thousand
miles from Cape Sable. far beyond Cape Race,
Newfoundland. The ocean liners creep dash
through II, according to the temperament Of
their shippers, for nearly 500 miles. II is 800
miles wide of Cape Race.
Since the beginning OF July there have been
many close shsves between sailing vessels and
steamships. The Majestic recently hit New
foundland fishing smack anchored In the fog,
and cut OF her stern.
Among the luckiest misses, perhaps was that
made on Thursday afternoon last by the French
liner La Champagne. which has n habit Of
almost and never quite getting into trouble.
La Champagne got here yesterday morning, from
Havre. with her suave commander Capt.
Laurent. in his usual equable mood. Capt.
Laurent looks much like Greek. He is tall
straight and blue eyed, and could give points ia
etiquette to the politest Athenian. That is the
reason, perhaps, he apologized to the reporters
who disturbed his nap yesterday afternoon to
get some information about the Norwegian bark
that just missed being carved in two by La
Champagne.
The Captain is a botanist. an experimenter in
chemistry, and mathematician. These accom-
plishments are mere accessories to the supreme
one Of being skipper. He is volatile without
being excitable.
La Champagne had a large number of cabin
passengers, aud Us Thursday was u pleasant day
