Civil Action Not Taken This Week
Against Jersey officials.

>U@ '@
TRENTON. July 8. lSa5.-Attorney
General Stockton denied yesterday that
any civil proceedings would be brought
this week as announced in some news
papers. against persons shown by the
Senate investigation to have improperly
received from the State money for goods
never furnished or money IN excess of
the market value of goods delivered.
The Attorney General said that the
initiative in bringing the suits would
have to be taken by the Comptroller and
that he has had no recent consultation
on the subject. Comptroller Hancock
SAID that he was giving the subject con-
sheraton in order that he might proceed
intell;gently and with some degree of
probable success. He did not propose
to bring suits just for the purpose of
dragging men into court without any
possibility of the suits being successful.
Mr.. Hancock said he was giving the
subject all the time he could spare from
the other duties of his office. but he
could not say how soon any proceed
ings would be instituted.

BASEBALL GAMES TOMORROW

The band of active young athletes of
the St. Peters Sodality Lyceum having
decided to erect a new clubhouse where
every opportunity will be afforded for
indulgence in athletic games, yesterday
held a picnic and games at the Green
vile Schuetzen Park to aid the .ause.
The friends of the Lyceum turned out
in large numbers and the affair proved a
most gratifying success. Although he
attendance was exceedingly large m the
afternoon, It was doubly so in the even
ing. Each %southbound car on the Green
vile line was crowded with persons
bound for the picnic. and by nine O'Clock
the big pleasure ground was crowded.
The great feature of the day was the

BOILING POINT.
How II Differs According 10 the
Density OF the Atmosphere.

DeBalty of the Atmosphere.
There are some curious things about
the boiling point Of different liquids
which the most thoughtful never take
time to reflect upon. If you have been
out of school six months. 1t Is ten to one
that you have entirely forgotten the
meaning of the term boiling point as
applied to the different elements. 1t is
t h temperature at which the elastic
force Of the vapor Of any liquid Is equal
to the pressure of the atmosphere" The
various liquids lave different boiling
points.
SulDhurous acid bolts at a fraction
above II degrees Of the Fahrenheit scale,
aldehyde at IL, ether at 96, wood alcohol
at 151, water at 2l2, %sulphuric acid at $40,
and mercury at 662. The above refers to
tests made at sea level. barometer at
thirty inches.
When the barometer stands at 80, 1t
shows a pressure of Is pounds to the
square inch. Remove this pressure, or
even a portion of it. and the boiling
point OF all liquids changes correspond
iingly. In making reckonings on this score
1t is calculated that there is a diminution
OF one degree for each 610 feet of ascent.

A GREAT RAILROAD STRIKE.
Some Phases OF the Labor DIaturb'
ance Of 1877.

The most desperate and extensive
strike that had yet occurred In this
country was that of 1877. by the en-
ployes of the principal railroad trunk
lines-the Baltimore and Ohio, the Penn
s~ylvania, the Erie. the New York Cen
trail and their western p-rolongations.
At a preconcerted time functions and
aother main points were seized. Freight
traffic on the roads named was entirely
suspended. and the passenger and mail
service greatly impeded. When new en-
ployes sought to work, militia a to be
called out to preserve order. Baltimore
n Plttsburg were each the scene of a
bloody riot. At the latter place where
the mob was immense and most furious.
the militia were overcome and besieged
In a round-house. which 1t was then at
tempted to burn by lighting oil cars and
pushing them against 1t. Fortunately
the soldiers escaped across the river.
The militia having had several bloody
and doubtful encounters on July q. %
and %, at the request of the Governors.
President Hayes dispatched United
States troops to Pennsylvania, MARYLAND
and West Virginia Faced by these
forces the rioters II every instance gave
dreadful effect. Machine shops, ware
houses and two thousand freight cars
were pi1laged or burned. Men, women
and children fell to thieving, carrying Off
all sorts of goods-kid ball shoes, para
soils. coffee mills. whips and gas stoves.
The police found seven great trunks full
of clothing. IN one house; eleven barrels
of -four IN another. 1t IS said that a
wagon load of sewing machines was sold
from ten cents to 81 apiece. The loss Of
property was estimated at $40. 900, 600. In
disturbances at Chicago nineteen were
thirteen and thrice as many wounded.

Jersey city Lawyers TO Race.

The legal fraternity of this city are
very much interested in the one-miie
handicap race that is to be decided to-
morrow al the N. ]. A. c. carnival of
sports. A few evenings ago three very
well known lawyers. Mr.. r. Carey, M.
Van Wrinkle and William Klink. were
discussing their relative abilities as run
ners. not as lawyers, and as they all
claimed to nave made great records at
some time during their career, it finally
led to an important match being made.
The result was that the trio above men
toned have forwarded to Chairman
Boyd of the N. J.. A. c. their entries for
the mile handicap on the Fourth. There
is a special silver cup to be presented to
the winner. which has been donated by
Judge Puster. The man that finishes last
or the one that drops out is to stand the
dinners for ten men. Handicapped Car
ter has been let in the game and he has
given each mar 100 yards start, so there
can be no cry of fayor;tism The out
come of this race will be watched with
interest and in and about Greenville.
being backed to win, while around the
Palmer headquarters, even money is bet
that none of the three men will finish
the race simply because the N. ]. A. c.,
has decided to close the athletic portion
of the programme at 4:30 P. IN. in order
to give the Puritans and the N. ]. A. G:
a chance to play ball and it is feared
that If either one of the three men try
to run a mile 1t might take them all
