POSTPONEMENT
Silver Men Call a Halt To
Perfect Plans.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l6.-The legislative COM
mittee appointed by the Democratic silver
conference TO effect a permanent organiza-
tion met at the Metropolitan Hotel today,
and decided not 10 attempt to complete the
National COMMITTEES for the present. The
postponement was rendered necessary by
the fact that the committee had received the
names OF proper men for the National orga-
nization from only the States represented at
the conference. They consider IL desirable
that the best advice possible should be had in
the selection Of the committed. and after dis
tributing the work of obtaining the necessary
information among the members of the legis-
latve committee adjourned subject TO the
call OF the chairman. Colonel Young said
today that 10 was the purpose OF the legisla.
tive committee to complete the National
organization as so on as practicable.
IL Is probable that the meeting for the an
nouncement of this committee will be held In
some Western city, and st, Louis has been
suggested as the place most conveniently
located. IL is expected also that permanent
headquarters viii be chosen at this meeting.
This Is some division of opinion az TO where
the headquarters should be. Some OF the
menlb bers of the committee advocate locating
at Warrington, whilo others are of the opinion
that Washington city would not be prefer
able.

Incidents of a HotDay.

She was little girl, almost too young to
have "inspired" the author of popular
lay TO break II upon more or less musi-
cal public, but, nevertheless, she had
hair OF the color that certain men think
is only worth 10 times the value of silver,
and she stood on street corner eating
an ear of corn that the kind hearted
restaurant man had given her, after his
noon rush OF trade was over. Her eyes
were OF the sweetset and softest blue, but
her lace was covered, il seemed more
inches deep with dirt than her life had
counted years. A passerby remarked to
another that 10 was a warm day, and
though the hot rays OF the sun fell on
and matched in the most delicate manner
possible the color OF the hair OF the bare
looted, bareheaded, poorly clad and
neglected child, she thought only of the
corn she was eating.
Men passed up and down another street
corner this afternoon, some OF them
clothed in way that looked cool and
must have made them feel so, and yet
they appeared to be in a hurry TO get into
the shade. Near the spot that these men
passed, boy, with heavy clothes, feet
lace and hands covered with the hot soil,
sat on curbstoDe, while the sun was
baking the pavements, eating some over
ripe peaches, that he had picked up from
the cutters in the fruit-selling section of
The city. He ate with all the ease that a
man might while slipping a mint drink in
n cafe where the electric fans were doing
service, and he seemed as careless OF the
cholera microbe as he was of the latest
Chinese disturbance or the great way the
sun was doing its work.

WAS NOT HER FATHER.
Minnie Porter Thought Her Name
Was GalIivan.
Was Kidnapped at Kansas City Out of
Spite-Tho Child All Right Now.

Last October James Gallivan came to
this city from Kansas City, Mo-, and had
with him little girl about years old,
that he said was his daughter. They made
their home with Mrs. Kelly at 90 Arnold
street, and here the girl received all of the
attention that any child could expect
from father.
Last April Gallivan disappeared and
left the little girl behind, and week or
so ago Mrs. Kelly came TO the conclusion
that something was wrong, so she called
upon Charles III. Thurber, agent of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children. Mr. Thurber communicated
with the society at Kansas City and
learned that the childs name was Minnie
A. Porter and the daughter OF Ellen A.
Porter OF that city, and that the father
OF the little girl was dead. A short time
after the death of the father Mrs. Porter
and Gallivan lived together, but were not
married. They had quarrel and separ-
ated, after which the child was placed
In an institution, and to get satisfaction
Gallivan got the child out and came to
this city, and the mother was in ignor-
ance OF the whereabouts of her little girl
until notified by the society.
steps were then taken by the society OF
Kansas City TO have the child returned TO
that city, and last evening little Minnie,
in charge OF w. Il. Clarkson, travelling
agent of the Santa Fe Railroad, started
for that city, and, barring accidents, will
arrive there at l O'Clock Sunday after
noon. During the stay OF the little one
in this city, she has had the best OF care
by Mrs. Kelly and has been a regular at
teudant of the public schools and mas
made many friends among the children.

Mr.. Wadlin in his introduction of the
figures says:
1t is perhaps unfortunatee that the re-
cent enumeration follows period of .ex-
treme business depression. This un-
doubtedly affects the returns from the
textile and boot and shoe cities and
towns in many instances account for the
failure to reach a population figure as
high as that set by sanguine local esti-
mates, and diminishes the ratio increase
during the last five years of the decen-
NAL period as compared with that shown
between 1885 and 1890. Estimates of
population made previous to enumera-
tion are generally too high. A census
taken October would be more favorable
to some cities than a census taken in May
as required by the constitution"

The Last Man To Leave The Steamer

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Some interest
Ing facts about the escape of I'D. Warren
Ball, who got away from Detective Ser
geant Delehanty at Newport on Tuesday
night, while the detective was bringing
him and his alleged pal TO Brooklyn on
the Sound steamboat Puritan, came to
light today. Ball made his departure
quietly and coolly stopping to purchase a
ticket. He did not jump into the water.
He calmly walked over the gang-plank
and departed. Until Ball sent letters TO
Brooklyn yesterday Deehanty said he be-
lieved the escaped prisoner had jumped
overheard and was perhaps drowned. The
boatmen tell the story. After Ball got
away from Delehanty, fully five minutes
elapsed, according to those ho saw him,
before he left the boat. In order to get
past the ticket taker at the gangway II
was necessary for him to present a ticket
for the landing. This he did. He went
10 the boxes and for so cents bought his
liberty. Then he stopped at the baggage
room and asked for his baggage. As his
bag had been checked to this city, the
attendant at the baggage room refused to
let Ball take the bag. He then went 10
the purser and explained that he wanted
to get off at Newport, whereupon the
officer ordered the baggageman to de-
liver over the grip In this way Ball
was delayed several minutes. Carrying
his grip he walked off the gangway He
was the last passenger to leave the boat.

Vigilant at Erie Dock.

BROOKLYN, Aug. 16--The yacht Vigil
liant arrived at the Erie dock at 8 o'clock
tbs morning, having been towed up from
Bay Ridge by her tender Aeronaut. She
was received at the dock by Superin-
tendent Dickie and dockmaster McGilvey,
under whose direction the big pontooD
was swung open and the yacht towed to
the head of the dock. She was no
stranger there as for two years she has
received her final preparations for the
Americas cup contest in the same dock.
This dock is cele brated for yacht clean
ing. while in the dock adjoining to the
west side, Thistle was one time cleaned.
Mr.. John Hyslop, the yacht clubs meas
urer, was ON hand and boarded the Vigi-
liant. He had talk with Mr.. Williams,
after which he began preparations for the
measuring. The tightening OF the boat
was then begun.
MIR. Hyslop's work on Vigilant was
completed at IL O'Clock, and five min
utes later Defender appeared in the basin.
She had been delayed by fog and instead
of reaching the dock as expected, at
high water or before half tide, it was
dec wv water when she arrived. Ow-
Ing her draught II was impossible to
doc .er then. She could not get on to
her blocks in the rear end of the dock
until O'Clock anC ii will be several
hours later before she Will be ready for
cleaning, as 1t will take long time to
pump the water out OF the big store dock.
After Vigilant had been relieved of the
extra weight which will not be on board
during the races of next week, she looked
much lighter. Her white sails were
good bit further away from the water,
and at least foot OF the bronze bottom
could be seen. She seemed to be about a
foot and half less on the load water
line than when she lay at anchor at Bay
Ridge, and IL would not be surprising IL
she got more time from the Defender
than has been estimated. Experts who
have watched The yacht ever since she
was raced thought that she would meas
ure but little more than when she was
racing for the Americas cup.
When the boats are on their blocks In
the dock an excellent opportunity Will |
be given for studying the difference be-
tween the two models. Vigilant, un-
doubtedly the fastest sloop ever built in
this country up to this year, will be di-
rectly in front of Defender, proba bly, the |
fastest sloop ever built here, and, while |
IL is possible to make comparisons |
from draugntsmen line, the boats them /
selves will furnish far better means to |
Judge by. II is expected, therefore, that |
the docks will be thronged with people, |
experts and curiosity seekers, during the |
time the yachts are out Of the water.

Around the Freight Yards.

Improvements continue to be made
around the freight depots of the New
York, New Haven q Hartford Railroad
Company on Canal street. All of the
platforms around the buildings have been
enlarged and strengthened, fences have
been put up IN necessary places, and now
a large open space near Comstock's meat
depot, Is being paved. For many years
travellers along Canal street, both resident
and nonresident, as we'll as men whose
business called particular attention to the
matter, have noticed over the door of the
main building OF the railroad referred to,
the names of the different stations that
freight was received at the different doors
for, but now these names have been
obscured by white paint and change
made in the manner OF receiving and dis
tributing freight.
The entrance TO the platform in the
rear OF the freight house on Canal street
is now a broad one and the reception and
delivery OF goods will be greatly acceler-
ated when the paving now being done is
finished.
Just 10 keep up with the march OF i'm
provement, the Comstock Meat Company
has made some important repairs to its
buildings nearby.
