vALENSTEIN HELD FOR ARSON.
The Cigar Manufacturer Charged
with Setting His Premises Afire.

Louis Valenstein. memt,sr of the firm
of Cohen & Valenstein, cigar manufac-
turers, of IS and 81 Reade street, was
arraigned in the Tombs Police Court this
morning, charged with arson. BY his
side at the bar stood his ffteen-year-old
office boy, Meyer Molesky, and Raphael
Adelskein. a workman. Fire Marshal
Mitchell was the complainant.
Nalenstein was held by Justice Tain
tor in 5000 for examination on Friday

brother, julius, of 11 Worth street,
going on his bond. The boy was COM
mitted to the Children's Society, and
Adelskein to the louise of Detention.
The charges against the latter two have
been withdrawn, but they are held as
witnesses.
The Reade street building is five stories
high, and the second floor was occupied
by Cohen & Valenstein. At 100 O'Clock
on the night Of Feb. 5. flames broke out
in the place and, but for the prompt ac-
ton of the firemen, a big confiagration
would undoubtedly have resulted, as the
building Is in the heart of the dry-goods
district. Valenstein was insured for
IS, 200, but his the Fire Marshal believes
to be about three times what the stock
is worth.
The Fire Marshal says he has proof
that Valenstein fired the place, and that
he will produce the evidence at the
proper time.

Debate Before the Constitutional convei

 ALBANY, Sept. e.--Whcn tho session of the constitutional conyention opened, Mir. Cornwcll prosencd n memorial from the agricultural society representing all the farmers of the state asking for pro rata freight rate for the railroads In the state and asking the pass.sge of the McDonough bill to transfer the canals of the state to the national government, as they were now used for national purposes and were a great burden of taxation to the people. It would also abolis's the canal ring.
 Mir. Barrow conti,:ued his rcmarks bo- gun just before reocss in advocacy of the proposed appcrsiunment. MT. Sulli- van of Kings spokeHt some length against the bill on the groGad that 1t is not right to put legislation Into tho constitution All that they had right to do was to say what number the body should consist of and should not divi6c up districts
 Colonel Metar of Kings asserted in n lengthy speech that the apportionment of 1S92 was far worss than this proposed one It was fra,ld on the people, and this was intended tc reetlfy it. The gcr- rymander of lS9a Has accomplished by the Democracy in 2i hours, all Republicad amendments being voted down. The bill had never even beei, printed as this one had.
 MT. Bowers of New York then began m address for the lIinority and against the proposed appOrtionment. He took the New York city apportionment of 1875 and showed how illegal tho districts were there being twice as many votes in Now York city districts as in St. Lawrence county. The aprortionment of lS92 was so excellent that even the court of appeals was unable to declare 1t anything but proper. IL was proposed to put this mat ter in the constitution so that the court of appeals could not rcvicw 1t or the poo pie find any redress from it, no matter how unfair it was.
