New York, October 3.-Dr. Parkhurst has put on his war paint against Tam many and a great display of rhetorical fireworks is certain to illuminate the po- ltical skies during the coming four or five weeks. George B. McClellans nomi- nation by Tammany puts, however, the good doctor at something of a disadvant- age, for George was a Sunday school boy in his famous church and has been a de- vout worshipper within it's walls for many years. What he is spiritually, Dr. Parkhurst has in a great measure made him, and he certainly should not belittle his own work. Senator Platt by the way, belonged at one time to the same congre- gation, but he grew weary of the Park hurst tirades and now goes somewhere else for religious comfort and edification.
 The funeral of a well-known republi- can politician few days ago brought together a large number of public men of both parties, among them Senator T. c. Platt. q believe" said one of them. that MT. Platt is destined to outlive us clli- Just iOOh dl Illll. w HO WOulQ luiIh that he has celebrated his seventieth birthday? Of all the republican leaders of twenty years ago, he is about the only one left. Conkling, Arthur, Murphy, Grants collector of the port, are all gone to the other side. MT. Platt has seen the grave close over all of them. But what is more surprising still is that no period of his career was T. c. Platt so power ful as he Is today, surrounded by men of a new generation who were boys at school when he was well at the top in public life. His management of men is certainly a marvel. I do not believe it is possible to find a parallel to his case in the whole country"
 The newspaper stories about the enor- nous sums of money made at the race tracks around here by this and that ''plunger" during the past summer prove to be for the most part pure fction This, was, of course, well known to all we'll informed patrons of the turf'' and to horse owners, but they did not bother themselves about contradicting the wild stories set afioat about fortunes made and lost on half dozen races a day. The fact is that the book-making gamblers have no such sums to lose, the capital of the majority of them as I am told, being exceedingly limited. These reports. how ever. did an immense amount of mischief in the way of inducing young men and thousands of women to gamble on the horses, without a particle of knowlege on the subject. It is out of this class of people that the willy gamblers make their money.
 When young Henry George was sug gested recently for place on the fusion ticket, a leading newspaper printed ma lieious little paragraph about him, to the effect that his only claim to distinction was that he wrote jr. after a famous name. It is true that George is not as big man intellectually as his father was, but still he has brains enough to enable him to stand alone. First of all, he has edited a splendid edition of his fathers writings and written a most credible life of the great Single-taxer. Secondly, he writes well, and has far better under

tional games and contest here'S which were in fashion centuries ago in Ireland have been making great records. These sports are nearly all of a warlike char aeter. One of them consists of hurllng an immense javelin at a target. It is thrown with such force that 1t would easily go through and through a man if 1t should strike him. The old-times games were revived in Ireland during the Parnell agitation when the right of bear ing arms was taken away from the people of all classes, whose loyalty was sus- pected. An Irishman tells me that the object of the revival of the old games was to give the young men some sort of a military training in the event of emer- gencies, and that the British government never got on to it.
 Two or three news papers have for some time been preaching against extrav- agant funerals by the poor people. Their exhortations are poured into listless ears forcible illustration of which was given few days ago by the procession of car riages behind the remains of a notorious east side character, called Jerry the Bum" "Jerry's' chums all clipped in their pennies and nickles to save him from the Potter's field, and give him a first class funeral The same day a dog of the Irish setter species, belonging to a family of moderate means. died, was em- balmed, put in an expensive casket, laid out In state for forty-eight hours, taken by train to the dog cemetery in the coun- try and flowers deposited on his grave. 1 wonder the owners did not arrange for funeral oration,' to make the thing complete.
 There is a small, select, aristocraic class of foreign officials in this city, all en- gagged in the same business, each one known to the other and yet between whom no social relations whatever ob- tain. They are the foreign consuls. All of them, that is the leading ones, have been here for years, but they have little more than lowing acquaintance. One of them was recently decorated with high order of distinction by his government, but the rest of the corps took no notice of 1t whatever, either formally or informal ly The reason of it all is that represent ing in certain extent the manufacturers, merchants and trades of their respective countries, they share in very great de- gree the commercial rivalries of their peo- pie and governments. They attend strict ly to their own business and their names rarely find place in the newspapers.
 
 The employees of this city if segregated from the population would with their families or others dependent upon them make up a community running into many hundreds of thousands. Take the police alone. Not counting women and children belonging to them, they would make a town of several thousand inhabitants. The school teachers set apart by them selves, would make a town of twelve thousand, and including their immediate families probably thirty thousand Then, there Is the street cleaning, numbering five thousand. Those dependent upon them must be In the neighborhood of twenty thousand additional. The metro polls has more government to the square foot, more office holders of one kind or another, than any other place of equal size in the world.

400 miles, contrary winds both times

400 miles, contrary winds both times prevented success.
 Because of the comparative steadi. ness with which the trade winds blow in the sub-tropie regions, the feat of crossing the Atlantic itself, proposed by M. Reclus, is perhaps no more ven- turesome than that just performed by the two daring F'renchmen With a steady twenty-knot wind a balloon should cross from the west coast of Africa to Trinidad in four days. But against contending currents in mora temperate zones the balloon is help less.

An eruption of La Soufriere, which be-
gan yesterday continued and increased
in activity during the night, until it be-
came most violent at o'clock this
morning. At $50 O'Clock this morning
its violence was unabated and the spec

belching forth dense black clouds,
which rise heavenward, accompanied by
loud roaring and flashes which rend the
spreading pail of smoke that now en-
velops the entire island in darkness.
Electrical discharges occurred at inter

In granting the new trial Judge
Hazen said: The motion for a new
trial of this case was argued some time
ago and owing to the Importance of
the case have given this special atten-
ton None of the errors are well taken
but one My judgment is that there
was one error in the trial of the case
that was prejudicial and therefore the
court must grant new trial.
While Crandau Lowe, the father of
the defendant, was on the stand, on
cross examination he was asked by
County Attorney Nichols if he did not
state 10 one or BOTH referring to Mrs.
Charles and Miss Misner. that the
shooting could not have been an acci-
dent He replied, no. I do not think 1
did Other questions, equally as OBJ
jectionable were asked but answered in
the negative and no witnesses were
called to discredit them in rebUttal.
THAT question was allowed by the
court for the purpose of impeaching
CrandaH Lowe This was prejudicial
error. What CrandalI Lowe said should
not have been used against the defend
ant and it is especially prejudicial be-
cause the defendant claimed an acci-
dent. I am surprised that County At
torney Nichols should have asked such
a question and that the judge would
allow it.
THE decisions are quite clear upon
this point There were other prejudicial
questions. This was a collateral issue
of most prejudicial nature. The new
trial will be granted and the defendant
will be allowed So 600 bond"
