WERE THEY RAILRoADEDq
Horrible Suspicion Touching the
Conviction ola Man and Hss Vffo.

NEW YORK, Dec. q, 1s94.-The confess
sion of Police officer Shalvey before
the Lexow Committee. has given cur
rency to the charge that two people
were .~'railroaded" to prison because
they refused to pay the ponce for protec-
ton.
Last March Philip Kievent and his
wife, who kept a saloon at No. Sc Suf-
folk street, were convicted before Judge
Cowing in General Sessions of robbsng
a man in their saloon. Kievent was
sentenced to eight years in State prison,
and is still in confinement. His wife
was released after serving ten months.
1t was said by the prisoners at the time
that they were convicted because they
refused to pay tribute to the police.
Chief Clerk unger, who was then an
assistant district attorney, avs that
there may be some foundation for the
charge, for he remembers that when the
case was tried a number of reputable
people swore to the good character OF
Kievent and his wife.
Judge Cowing said his morning that
he thought a petition had been circulated
for the pardon of Kievent, but he could
nut remember.

FOR YACHTS AT NEWPORT.

NEWPORT, R. T., Dec. 27, 1884,
Messrs. Ogden and Robert Goelet of
New York yesterday prchased of Gov
ernor Kortright a sixth part of the valu-
able wharf property now occupied by
the New York Yacht Club. The Messrs.
Goelet now own all except one7sixth,
which Cornelius Vanderbilt, it is said, is
about to transfer to them. The purchase
is really in the interest of the New York
Yacht Club, who desired to control the
property upon which their club Is built;
yet it was not deemed advisable for
them to invest in SO large a piece of
real estate. The Goelets are having the
property greatly improved n the club
will have here probably the most at
tractive yacht landing places in the
world.

in another cuttlefish an extremely Gu
