Serious Consideration.
NEW YORK, August 26.-Among the
passengers who arrived on the Frenc q
Line steamer La Normandie to-day was
the Hon. Levi p. Morton. who was seeL
on the promenade deck OF the steamer
shortly after she dropped anchor In
quarantine. He evidently anticipated
the reporters questions, as the follow
ing note which he handed to those VINO
greeted him will show:
"In reply to your questions | can
only say that although | have no desire
to re-enter public life, / have received
so many letters from personal and
political friends In different parts OF
the State urging me 10 allow the use OF
my name as a candidate for Governor,
now, that / am at home, | shall feel 1t
due them and the Republican party,
which has so highly honored me in the
past, to give the question serious con-
sIde.ation."

BKooKLYN BRIDGE LITIGATION.
4 Suit by the Bridge Company and Cities
TO Recover $4,000 Costs.


PHILADELPHIA, PA, August &c.
The trustees of the Brooklyn Bridge
and the corporations OF the city of New
York and Brooklyn, have begun suit in
the United States Court in this city
against John Z. Dubois, the millionaire
lumber operator OF this city and Dubois.
Pa, to recover $4,000 costs in one
of its bridge litigations. Mr..
Dubois, the defendant, is nephew and
the executor OF the estate Of
John Dubois, deceased, who brought
suit against the cities of New York and
Brooklyn to recover $3.50, 600 for alleged
infringments in the construction Of the
Bridge Of patents held by him. The
mutual agreement of the parties in the
suit provided for a board of referees,
those appointed being Deacon" 5. V.
White, Of Brooklyn; ex-Sheriff c. NJ.
Clancy, OF New York, and eX-J Judge j.
W. Gilbert, OF Brooklyn. 1t was also
mutually agreed that the referees should
receive SIS each for every meeting
they held, these sessions lasting form
noon until p. M, the defeated party to
pay the bill. The referees reported sd-
versely TO the Dubois estate, and the
$4,000 involved in the present suit rep
resents the bill for fees. Mr.. Dubois
refused TO pay, and his agent, VIM.
EccleS, Jr., claims to have discovered
evidence of barefaced corruption on the
part Of the bridge officials. Ar. Eccles
drew up a statement in which be says
that but five sessions were held, the bill
for which would amount to S575, Ieav-
ing an overcharge of SIS, 425; and that in
order TO earn the 50, 600 it would, have
required 100 meetings, or LAO hours
spent In deli beration.

DoYENFR ANp mONRY.

Captain DovENER, if our Washing
ton dispatches are to be believed, has
sized the situation up about right In
the First district. He has been over a
good deal Of the district in the last few
months, and has carefully noted the
condition OF each Of the two great par
ties. He was at the Democratic con-
ventlon where HOWARD was nominated
and saw to his own sorrow the enthusi-
asm which prevailed among the Democ-
racy OF every portion Of the dis
trIct. He has noted the popularity
OF Mr. HOWARD among the people.
He has seen determination in the
counteuauce Of every Democrat and he
knows that they are in the Sight to win.
He has had long and intimate acquaint-
ance with bis adversary and does not
underrate him. He knows Mr. How
ARD to be a brilliant, brainy man, pop
ular with all classes Of people, a spieD-
did speaker and = magnificent can-
palgner.
No wonder the Captain is frightened,
No wonder he took the first train after
HowARD's nomination, for Wash
inRtoD, aud appealed to the
Congressional Campaign Committee
for help. be needs help and is shrewd
enough to know it. He has begun
early in the campaign to draw from
the national committee and be will
doubtless keep it up as long as there
is anything TO draw on. But even the
unlimited use Of money from the ma
tional committee can not save him. The
Captain knew when he saw Mr.. How
ARD nominated that it was a hopeless
case and he knows now that even with
the committees money he has mighty
little chance TO be elected.

dressed baby Of the abandoned kind she
had seen.
There was no note pinned to the dress
and nothing to give the slightest clew as
to the reason of the abandonment. An
effort was made last night 10 see DR..
Dillon, but he could not be found.

his place by telling who they were, he pre-

who the persons were. He also said three

With nineteen escapes in year and

for itself. The feature of the record is
that no publicity has been given to the es-

ties relied upon their own abilities to run
down the men who had engagements out
side the walls, but none of them were
caught. They probably go: too far away
before any official returned from trip to
town to notice their absence.

that night after night the institution Is
