Honor Paid to Tories.

The first member of the board of
aldermen who wants to pull the tail
out of the British lion might do SO
by changing the names of some OF
New York's streets. The board of
aldermen have the power of changing
the names of streets at their own
sweet will. This being The case, it
seems strange that the men most
prominent as Tories or Hoyalists at
the time of the revolution are honor
ed by having some of the principal
thoroughfares of the city named after
them.
Oliver Delaney was arrested by the
liberty boys as a traitor, vet we have
four streets recalling and berpetuating
his memory-Delaneey and Orchard
streets, which ran through the Delan-
cy farms, and James and Oliver
streets, both complimentary to two
members of the family, who were
traitors to the cause of liberty. Will
liam Bayard was a Tory merchant and
an ancestor of Thomas Frances Bay
ard. Bayard and Hester streets, which
still remain such, were named after
him and his daughter. Thomas Bar
clay, traitor who fed to Nova Scotia
to escape Imprisonment ar d execution,
was clergyman of Trinity church, the
hotbed of Toryism, and Barclay street
still bears his name. Lindley Murray,
the Tory grammarian, has his name
perpetuated in Murray street. John
Moore was deputy collector of GUS

Tennessee Miners Risk Life and Limb

Tennessee Miners Risk Life and Limb
in Rapid Transit.
Riding the horseshoe" is a most
curious custom that prevails at the
coal-mines located at Whitsell, Ten
nessee. The entrance to the mines is
at the top of the mountainous of
the many parallel ranges of the Cum
Lerlands-and the miners live either
on a bench of the mountain, half
way down, or in the town of Whit
well at the foot.
The track on which the coal is car
ried to the railroad running through
Whitwell is a steep incline two and
half miles irelength, and the miners
60 up in the empty coal-cars to their
work in the mine; but to each mans
belt is hooked his horseshoe on

the Tennessee miner shoots down that

been neld since then, in turn, by the
Romans, the Goths, and the Moors,
but in 1l47 Alphonso l. of Portugal
wrested it from the infdel. The city
suffered from severe earthquake
In 1874, and was visited by a plague
in 134S; the greatest disaster how
ever, befell 1t Nov. l., 1855, when in
less than ten minutes the greater
part of the city was made heap of
ruins. from 10000 to 10000 persons
were killed, and damage was done to

toms, and Moore street was named
after him and still bears his name.
He was Tory.
James Rivington was the boldest
spoken Tory when New York was oc-
cupied by the British, and in further
ance of the cause of the king he start
ed newspaper and continued 1t IN til
forced by Washington to suspend 1t
after the British evacuation. Riving-
ton street remains to remind people
of the atrocities practiced by English
soldiers, mostly at the instigation of
and upon information supplied by
Rivington. 1t was due to him that
hundreds of patriots died of starva-
ton in the overcrowded, impromptu
jails and cellars of the North Dutch
church in Nassau street, and in other
and worse prisons on the Hudson
river side at Eleventh street.
Peter Warren was brother-in-law
of Riyington and fully as strong in his
hatred and denunciation of patriots.
He was honored by having Warren
street named after him.
Robinson and Clarkson streets were
named after two noted Tories. Rob
inson street is now part of Park
place, but while that name has gone
forever Clarkson street still remains.
Duncan Ludlaw was a supreme court
justice of strong Tory proclivities,
who made his name odious to the
patriots, but he was honored and his
name preserved by calling Ludlow
street after him.-New York Press.
