In Bergen county. whose large posses
sions are near the Lords Farm" at
Woodclf. came to Hack ensack this morn
ing and offered to go bail for Mason T.
Huntsman and his three associates. who were
arrested on Saturday night. This offer was ac-
cepted by Justice Cumming In the cases OF
John McClintock and Mary Storms. on
charges OF keeping a dIsorderly house. the
two being released on $500 bail each. Hunts
man and Storms. who are also charged with
the more serious crime OF assaultinR the two
Lamb children. are held for the appearance OF
County Judge Xabriskie. who is absent.
Mr.. Van Ripper says the Lords Farm people
are working his farm. He considers that they
are being prosecuted. as no declares them to
be the most industrious and moral people in
the neighborhood. He emphatically declared
to-day in the presence Of the Prosecutor Of the
Pleas. that Mrs. Lamb. the mother of the two
girls. who told that she submitted to certain
indgnites. was OF irresponsible mind. and he
said that no evidence had been adduced from
her two daughters to show that they had been
the victims Of Huntsman and Carrot Storms as

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2S-As many warships
now under repairs can be made ready in
time will be sent to New York to participate in
the raval demonstration in honor Of Admiral
Dewey. Orders have been sent by the Navy
Department to the Commandant OF the Boston
navy yard to have the work expedited on the
Bancroft. Marietta. Topeka. Nashville. Vioks-
burg and Osceola so that they will be ready to
take part in the naval parade. The Depart
mont also hopes to have the captured Spanish
gunboats Alvarado and sandoval put in sea-
going condition in time to be in New York on
Sept %. These two vessels are now at Ports
mouth, Y. II. The Department has decided
that too much risk would attend the towing Of
the frigate Constitution from Boston to New
York, and the famous old ship will therefore
not be present at the Dewey ceremonies
Capt Robley d. Evans. who went to New
York to consult with the Dewey Reception
Committee a: q representative OF the Navy De-
partment returned to Washington to-day and
had an interview with Acting Secretary OF tho
Navy Allen. Capt Evans arranged with the
New York committee that the Dewey reception
should be a naval affair throughout. even in
respect OF the land parade. The blue Jackets
from the Olympia are to act as a guard OF
honor to Admiral Dewey, and will have the
right Of the line Directly after them will como
the blue jackets and marines OF the North At
iantic squadron.
The purely military features OF tho parade
will come after the naval contingent. IL was
arranged also by Capt Evans. under instruc-
tions from the Navy Department. that Admiral
SIMPSONS squadron should meet the Olympia
at Tompknsvie. Staten Island. and not ont
at sea. A space four hundred yards wide will
be kept clear in New York Bay for the naval
parade.
II Admiral Howison's flagship. the cruiser
Chicago. should arrive at New York in time to
participate in the ceremonies on Sept %
there may be some embarrassment over the
fact that Admiral Howison is senior to Admiral
Sampson. and would. by virtue OF his seniority,
have command Of all the United States vessels
assembled to meet the Olympia. The Chicago

thought at the Navy Department that Admiral
Howison may curtail his itinerary few days

Distillcrlrs Company tho Recent Con-

The Distieries Company Of America
authorized the publication yesterday Of the
following rather enigmatical statement regard
ing its recent conferences with the independ-
ent distlers as to q proposed Limitation Of the
output for the coming year.
The proposition OF the independent distil-
lers' committee. requesting an equal division
OF the 100000 gallons production for the
season OF 1899 1900. is not to DO considered
by the Distilleres Company 1t is the policy Of
the latter company to permit the Independent
distillers to make all the profit they and not
to interfere with their business. Further
negotiations would be considered in the genera
interests Of the trade but the Distilleries Com
pany finds it absolutely impossible to make
any agreement. as it would be in direct conflict
with the Kentucky Antitrust laws. which are
particularly stringent"
This was taken in Wall street to mean that
an agreement had been reached. but that 1t
would not be advisable to acknowledge tho

BoNHAM's SUDDEN PROPOSAL.
Challenged by Flaacke He and Miss Poole
Get Married.


Sherman Bonham. who is employed in the
offlce OF City Collector Robert Davis. Of Jersey
City. and IL recognized aB the best dressed Of
all the young men In the City Hall. was mar
ried there at short notice on Saturday to Miss
Margaret Poole OF 442 Bergen avenue. Miss
Poole is twenty years old. and one of the
prettiest girls on the hill. She and
Bonham were friends. but had not met
for year until Saturday. Bonham had Just
started on his vacation and he and his friend
Edward Flaacke were at the Pennsylvania
train when they saw Miss Poole After a few
minutes conversation Miss Poole consented to
accompany the young men to a theatre matinee
performance. The matinee was followed by
a supper at a restaurant. During the supper
Bonham assured Miss Poole that he had always
thought a great deal OF her and she declared
that she had admired him from the very first
time she met him.
Flaacke. who was practically ignored. be-
came weary OF the spooning and remarked:
=" II you two think so much OF each other why
don't you get married?
The suggestion struck Bonham as being a
good one. and he at once proposed to the young
woman. She accepted him. and the party
went to the Office Of Justice OF the Peace Duffy
in Jersey City. Justice Duffy always takes his
matrimonial clients to the Pennsylvania House
adjoining his Office. He escorted the party
there and united Bonham and Miss Poole in
marriage The parents OF the young people
have not forgiven them yet. but 1t Is expected
that they will.

The letters and the transactions to which

International sports. in the proper sense OF

athletios between the universities Of England
and America have always excited the liveest
interest among English speaking people on
both sides Of the Atlantic. Their continuance
and growth will be an accurate register OF

where quotations are posted. those whose
