Beadle last night corralled $50 men In the saloon
of Edward H. Maher, in Thirty -fourth-st be-
tween Eleventh and Twelfth aves., where

ured pair Of FIVE ounce boxing gloves. which
had been hidden in bag Of sawdust. pair
Of tights and two flags, which the con-
testants were TO about their waists. One
was the American lag and with the other the
wearer was to have signalized the entrance of
the new Cuban republic into the prize ring. as
the flag the emblem of that nation. Fifty
prisoners were made, including Maher. the
saloon keeper. the rest being freed No pugilists
were captured, because none could be found.
The detectives heard tickets were being sold at

MORE RAILROADS NEEDED.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I have come from Haney's Corner, Ripley
County. Ind. and a subscriber TO The Tri-
Weekly Tribune. With reference TO the meat riots
here In your city I consistently say the
lies in further extending railroads feeders to
main lines. In my county milk is unstable all
around my district while usually at this time OF
the year eggs sell at the heartbreakng price OF
eight and ten cents dozen, and butter low
eleven cents. This spring 1 sold nice young
stock. about two years old fat and in good con-
dition for the distressngly low price Of three and
one-quarter cents to three and one-half cents a
pound; and yet people say the farmers are getting
rich.
If the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern Rail-
road only had a feeder. another short line
ming from Nevay. the Ohio. say, Osgood
or any other suitable depot. very large tract OF
country would be oDened up the markets of
New-York This argument would also apply to
many other portions of these States.

MoRNINGsIDE HEIGHTS.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Among the editorials which read with ap-
probation in The Tribune of Sunday May II. was
the one History and Nomenclature" referring
10 the attempted perversion of the name Morning

modern designation.
During the incurnbency of the original commits

intelligent thought given to the subject of the
names be applied, not only the park but also
10 other sections of Manhattan Island within their
jurisdiction Among other things they adopted
comprehensive series Of names for the park gate
ways and it is pity that those entrances cannot
be appropriately embelished in accord with the
suggestive titles which officially bestowed
upon them.
1t was during that period that made long
and careful study of the nomenclature applied by
various cities home and abroad to their ave
nues, parks and other features. both natural and
artificial. and suggested the name "Morningside"
for the elevation west of Manhattan-ave and north
Of Observation-Disclosures. as most approprfate
for bold feature Of the landscape which faced the

wilderness, commanding a beautiful view to the

Plains To-day the heights are crowned by
a great cathedral and many dwellings. and the
smiling panorama Of Harlem Plains has been su-
peTseoed by a dreary sea OF tin roofs, forest of

Eaistakable insignia OF a YaTdless popuation-the
waving folds Of the domestic laundry.
But the transfer Of Moruingsde Heights by the
erection or modern structures. matter how
pressive, affords as little warrant for calling them
with invtdious partiality. Cathedral Heights or
Hospital Heights, other kind of heights, as
the metanaorphosis OF Harlem Plains would justify
the abandonment of the historic name of THar-
lem for some modern and totally Inappropriate
designation.
Perhaps some Of those who have fallen into the
error of miscalling Morningside Heights al
together to be blamed since number Of signs with
the words Cathedral Heights" have been erected
81 the vicinity of the cathedral without apparent
authority. In the discredtabe absence Of official
street signs in New-York, such signs those of
Cathedral Heights, erected with question: BILE
Judgment, stand out with greater consciousness.
and their power TO nislead is much the greater.
The tendency to change established names
through some wave Of passing fancy ought firmly
20 be repressed, and the obliteraton of historic
names ought 10 be prevented by such timely re
monsTances as that of The Tribune against dis
possessing Morningside Heights of their proper
