Lucky Daily.

J. A. Daily is glad that the Sol Levi Tailoring company came to town. A great many other people are also glad but MT. Daily has special and direct cause of rejoicing. He is the lucky owner of suit of clothes which each of several other members of clothes club was striving after. The location of the prize took place last night at 8 o'clock and was witnessed by the following members of the club: Dr. J. M. Swet- nam, Bruce Perev, J. A. Stoner, Frank Murphy, Alex Rheinstein and J. A. Daily.
 The gentlemen who did not win the suit may have undergone a certain de. gree of disappointment, but it only served to convince each that he would be the winner of the next suit. And then they all know that whoever gets any of Sol Lewis suits gets something that's worth waiting for.

FOND OF THE MELODRAMATIC.
Dicke ns' Works Plentitnlly Sprinkled
 with Situations Suitable for Stage.

Dicke ns' Works PIentifnlly Sprinkled
 with Situations Suitable for Stage.
 It is curious what a penchant Dickens had for certain melodramatic situations, which seemed to his fancy so telling that he repeated and reproduced them many times over. He had a lively dra- matic turn, says writer in the Gen. tlemen's Magazine, and l always thought would have had extraordinary success as dramatist. once asked him why he had not taken up this ''line" seriously, and I think he made the excuse-it was long ago, many years before his death-that he had not time, taste or patience. The real req son, no doubt, was that he could not work without expanding, and could not ''carve heads upon a cherry stone." A literary friend, who has his Boz" at his fingers ends, has with great acute ness pointed out to me that Nicholas Nickleby was genuine "Adelphi walk ing gentleman" his manner, heroic bursts, protection of his sister, beard ing of Ralph, etc., were all elements in the Adelphi melodrama. Ralph was a regular stage villain. That his works are all dramatic and conceived in the true spirit of the stage is plain from the vast list of ofadaptations. Each story has been adapted again and again, and will bear the process admirably.
 One method for winding up his plot, to which he was excessively partial, was the unmasking of the villain owing to the betrayal of some confederate. The parties are generally brought together in a room by the more virtuous mem bers; the confederate then emerges from his concealment and tells a long story of villainy. We have this denoue- ment first ing"Oliver Twist" where Monks makes his revelations. In "Nickleby" Ralph is confronted with the man SnawIey and Squeers. In the ''Old Curiosity Shop" Quilp is similarly exposed. In ''Barnaby Rudge," Hare dale forces his herditary enemy to make revelations. In "Chuzzlewit,' g Jonas is confronted with another be- trayer. In "Copperfeld," Uriah Heep is denounced and exposed by MT. Mi cawber. In "Bleak House" Lady Ded- lock is similarly tracked. In nearly all the cases the'l guilty person goes off and commits suicide.

KleptOman1a.

To believe a French writer, there are
 no fewer than four thousand women caught every year in stealing during their shopping expeditions, habit eu- phoniously styled kleptomania. The number of titled ladies seized with this strange malady while examining the fashions of Paris, he tells us, is incred- ible. Among the most recent culprits were a Russian duchess, French countess, an English duchess and the daughter of a reigning sovereign. As a rule, these distinguished offenders are let off on the payment of round sum for the relief of the poor; when the shoplifter is known to be rich, the sum extracted rises to as much as ten thousand francs. The police authori- ties consent to this sort of conformation.

CHRISTIANS AND THE DANCE.

Rev. DR.. Eldridge Says Evil Lies in

christians and the Dance" was the
subject of Rev. T Olin Eldrldges dis
course at Waugh NJ. E. Church, corner of
Third and A streets northeast, last even
ing. For his text he took the eighth verse
OF the eighteenth chapter OF Matthew,
wherein these words are found: There
fore if thy hands or feet offend thee cut
them off. for it is better to go through
life ought and MANNED than to be cast
into the everlasting fire"
These are solemn words that are eX.
preSsive OF untold meaning" said Rev.
Mr.. Eldridge. We had better get rid
OF our sins than eur lives. "Christiaps
and the Dance" the subject l have chosen
for tonight Is very delicate one. In
dealing with it / know that l am tread
ing on dan gerOus ground. 1t is very nat
ural TO like the dance. With the accom-
paniment OF music, it naturally appeals to
the feet.
There is something in the dance, how
ever, that does not appeal to the Chris
tan Cha racter. Christians who partici-
pate in the ballroom are thrown with all
kinds OF worldly associates for dancing
is worldly amusement, and the Scrip
ture tells US to let worldly things alone.
Dancing is mentioned several times in
the Bible, but II is used in far differ
ent sense from that Of to-day. In the
Scripture when dancing is spoken OF IL
is looked upon as religious exercise. The
dancing of to-day is very popular because
of the mingling OF sexes and the effect
that comes from it.
Look upon the thousands of people
who have started their downfall in the
ballroom. Ex-Superintendent of Police
Byrnes, of New York city, once said that
every nineteen out of twenty women who
have been ruined In the metropolis had
taken their first step to degradation in
the ballroom"

RUN OYER BY AN ICE CART
Charles Burrows Deliberately Drove
Watchman Burke Down.
Burke Had Struck the Horses Across
Their Faces and Knocked Out
an Eye OF One

A small strip Of newly-laid concrete be-
tween the cable car tracks at Ninth
street aud Pennsylvania avenue north west
was the innocent cause Of a lively fracas
and considerable excitement about 3:20
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. The patch
of concrete was stin soft aud was guarded

aud row OF empty Cement barrels TO pre-
vent teams from driving over the spot.
Finally big ice wagon, driven by Charles
If Burrows, hove in sight, aud it is stated
that Burrows made a bee line for the soft
spot in the concrete roadway.
Watchman Burke rushed in front Of the
horses attached to the wagon, flourished
his club, and demanded that Driver Bur
rows pass around the spot he was guard
ing, as the heavy wheels would cut great
ruts in the new material After a wordy
wraugle, which attracted a big crowd, the
iceman finally pulled up his team and gave
the spot a rather wide berth.
Then, II is alleged after Burrows had
driven but a short distance along Ninth
street, towards d, he turned his team about
for the evident purpose of annoying the
Waterman by driving over the concrete
/ patch. At least this was the way it ap-
! peared TO the police and several OF the by
/ ISLANDERS, who have been summoned to ap-
! pear in the police court. to-day.
AS the ice wagon came tow ards the place
Burke was guarding, he again seized his
| club and rushed in front OF the wagon.
! BY this tins both men were fighting mad,
and addressed variety OF choice language
! TO each other.
The watchman, IT is said, struck the
/ horses viciously acrass the face, knocking
! out the right eye of one Of the poor ami
mails, besides raising great welts on their
noses and mouths.
In retaliation, Burrows applied the whip
10 the horses back and being beaten both
| front and rear, the excited animals
dashed forward and ran over WatchnIaI
Burke He was thrown under the horses
feet, and then disappeared under the body
OF the big yellow ice wagon. The crowd
set up a shout.
Quickly Policeman Sears, OF No. l,
came running to the scene. He pulled
| Burke from under the vehicle, and founc
| that he had nIracUlously escaped with but
slight injuries.
| The policeman took both men to the
| Twelfth street police station.
Michael Burke, the watchman, placed
a charge OF assault against Driver Burrows
| The latter then charged Burke with cru
city TO animals, and Offered his horse with
one eye dangling out in evidence. Both
men left collateral for their appearance in
| police court to-day.
A number OF witnesses residing in all
portions of the city were summoned by
Policeman Sears, and the trial this morn

IMPORTANT RAILWAY MEETING.
Conference at New York To-day Be-
tween wranglinR Companies.

Conference at New York To-day Be-
tween WrRngling Companies.
Baltimore, Aug. 5.-A conference viii be
held at the Hotel Waldorf, in New York
city, tomorrow by representatives OF the
Merchants and Miners Transportation Com
pnay. OF Baltimore; the Ocean Steamship
Company, of Savannah; the Pennsylvania
Railroad: the Atlantic Coast Line, and
probably the Seaboard Air Line.
The meeting will the result or overtures
made for the settlement OF the strained
relations existing between the Merchants
and Miners Company and the Ocean Com
pany. The breach between these two
companies is said TO be the outcome OF q
move on the part OF the Merchants and
Miners line to secure freight in Philadel-
phia destined for Savannah and other
places in the South. The Ocean Company
objected TO this competition, and put agents
in Baltimore to solicit Southern business.
This traffic was sent TO Philadelphia on the
the Baltimore and Philadelphia S line and
thence southwark on the Ocean line.
The Merchants and Miners Company re-
sponded by planning an invasion of the
Ocean Company'E New York territory
with a big reduction in rates, taking busi-
ness over the Pennsylvania Railroad to
Norfolk and there connecting with steamers
from Baltimore.
Overtures were made for an amicable set
tlement, and pending these temporary
peace was arranged betw cen the rival COM
panies The Merchants and Miners Com
pany takes the ground that Philadelphia
is natural territory for its operations, and
that the sendiug of freight from Baltimore
by way OF Philadelphia and the Ocean line
was a roundabout and unnatural route.
1t therefore asks the withdrawal of the
Ocean Company from Baltimore territory.

MORE FIGHTING IN CUBA.
Insurgents More Aggressive Than
Ever-Fighting and Firing Towns.

Santiago de Cuba ,July 26-via Key West,
Aug. 5.-on the ED instant party of 500
rebels, under leaders Reun and Galano,
appeared in Sabano, the most important
and flourishing town in the district of
Baracoa, and set fire to the place, causing
great alarm and considerable loss. The
small garrison made themselves strong in
the fortresses, but there are fears they
viii have to surrender.
On the 25th a commission of merchants
arrived here from Baracoa TO ask the
governor to send troops to said city, hs
they are entirely unprotected, but there
are no soldiers mere, as they are all in
the direction of ManZanillo. DIR. Galana, a

The rebels had fourteen wounded and mono
killed.
1t appears that the affair OF the Bayamo
has ended very quietly. The rebels, after
drawing 10, 900 soldiers TO Bayamo, dis
persed, causing the government great ex-
pense, which was really a battle won by the
insurgents, as IL Is calculated that in
this movement of soldiers or 10 per cent

service OF Martinez Campos, arrived here
last night, but without the general. He
remained in Manzanillo, 10 go from there

the troops which she took from here to
ManZanillo a few days ago.
There was great excitement here on the
night OF the Gath, the Spaniards fearing
the entrance of the insurgents into this city.
Garrisons were doubled, soldiers were
placed in the railroad station, and the tele-
graph operators were kept on duty all
night, but nothing happened.
