TRIED FOR CONSPIRACY. Black-Listing Held To Be a Species of Boycott ing:, and Ilence Unlayfnl. New Haven, Jan. 8. In the city court, this morning, Judge Pickett rendered a decision in the case of William II. Wallace, assistant super perintendent of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, and Stacey B. Opdyke, super intendent of the New Haven & Northampton road, accused -of conspiracy by Thoma3 F. Meany, who charged them with black-listing 1 him. The accused were fined $50 each. They will undoubtedly appeal from the decision. The Judge, in his decision, said that he was clearly of the opinion that a conspiracy designed to hinder any man from putting his labor on the market, when, where, and for such compensa tion as he may agree for, is equally criminal with any conspiracy designed to hinder the Bale of the merchandise of any producer or dealer, and is more disastrous in effect than any other form of conspiracy except that to take life. To convict of such conspiracy circumstantial evi dence is competent, and may be conclusive. It is sufficient if it is shown that the parties had a mutual understanding as to the common design and the part each was to perform in the attain ment thereof. The court was satisfied that Wallace and Opdyke had a mutual understand ing that a man not approved by one should not be employed by the other. Thi3 was, to all in tents and purposes, a boycott upon the individ ual. JOHN ROACH, IIow He Looked and Talked Directly After the Funeral of General Grant. T. C. Craw ford, ia Kew York World. John Roach, who is now dvine at his home in New York, was at Mount McGregor, near Sara toga, directly after General Graut's funeral. He remained there several weeks. I was an occu pant of the Hotel Balmoral during the greater part of tbe month or August, when Mr. Koach was there. He was then completely overcome with his troubles. He could talk of nothing else but the downfall of the great firm of John Roach & Co. He wa3 then a man of great rotundity. Although short, below the medium height, he must have weighed 200 pounds. He had round shoulders, acquired in his earlv days as an ordinary workman. He wa3 dressed in a black frock suit. His hat was a high pearl-gray cassimere, trimmed with a wide mournine band, tie wore it on the back of his head. With his hands thrust deep in his trou sers pockets, he would walk ud and down the porch for hours, muttering, talking, gesticulat ing and bemoaning his fate, in this little hotel people were brought together as people are on board ship. One morning I was introduced to Mr. Roach, and when he learned that I was a newspaper writer he began anew his story of suf fering. He caught me by the arm and dragged me to the rear of the hotel, and there Mr. Roach recounted, wun tne bitterness and earnestness of a deeply disappointed man, the events of his life. Ho has a rugged-featured, smooth-shaven. blue-eyed Irish face. In his flush times this face must have been alight with vivacity and good nature. His story was a strange medley of pathetic prolixity, sharp phrases and common sense. Yet it was told without order and with out any especial logic in its thread or reason for the telling. He dwelt with pride upon his rise from the position of a humble workingman to the great ironmaster and shipbuilder of the dav. But throughout this story Mr. Roach appeared to nnd the most comfort in the kindnesses he had been able to extend to those employed, bv him. One of his men had robbed him. Instead "of dis charging him he pardoned and reclaimed him. Ihe thought of this act lighted no Mr. Roach's face in spite of - his misfortunes. Throueb an nis me oi success only tne memory or Lis kind acts clung to him as a comfort. Mr. Roach was then much broken. He could hardly talk without great tears streaming down nis cneeKs. nut in all his talk he made no com plaint against Secretary Whitney. He said that Mr. Whitney had treated him always with great personal courtesy and cad shown him such kind ness as he could. Mr. Koach then hinted thn there was some mysterious power above Mr. Whitney which had struck him down. But Mr. Roach did not show where the government had wronged him, as he said that his government business was only a very Final! proportion of his general business. 1 think Mr. Koach said then it was not over 12 per cent It was in that neighborhood at any rate. Now, if the rest of Mr. Roach's business had been good, the loss of so Email a fraction through the government's failure to employ him could not have hurt him $12 Special clearing-out overcoat sale to-morrow.

Fashionable People and Things. Scpcial to tbft Indianapolis Journal. New Yokx, Jan. JB. "-There was a new opera and a Hew necklace for fashionable people to see this week. The opera was "Merlin," and it was well enough in its way something wondrous, the critics said but concurrent with its first representation the necklace competed for the admifation of. the audience, and won the most extended regard, loo. The triumphant article was the famous string of pearls that had once belonged to the Jtlmpress Eugenie, and been worn by her 'in the days of the French em pire. Even is those times of imperial glitter in Paris this , jeweled thing shone so brightly as to dazzle beholders accustomed to lavish adorn ment. It consisted of 346 oriental pearls, set in a golden chain, and it was valued then at about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Napoleon's widow put. it into J6, safe deposit vault in Paris, on her retirement to Chiselhuret, and there it lay until the recent sale of her useless effects. William K. Vander bilt and his wife were in the French capital, and they purchased it at $130,000. They bought other things from the Eugenie collection, mostly household embellishments, and these will be dis closed at next week's reopening of the Fifth-ave nue residence. But Mrs. Willie Vanderbilt put on tbe necklace for the opera. It was worn across the top of her head, thence down the back of her coiffure to her neck, which it encircled, with enough of lencth left to bang down on her bosom. Sue ia a beauty, if you remember, and a leader in the set which is so often accused of imitating the English aristocracy. Not a singer on the stage, and hardly a danseuse, commaded so many glasses as did Mrs. Vanderbilt and her necklace. '. There coulcfhardly be a family with moredi versity in its than the Vanderbilts possess. While Willam K. is an ardent devotee of fashion Cornelius is inclined to religion and philanthropy, and George IB a veritable reciuse studious, thoughtful afrd visionary. To George has fallen the charge of ds ; f atherV mausoleum, and he spends a cocsuleiahie portion of his time in that sacred duty. Twice a week of late he has made the trip to the cemetery a bleak ride over on Staten island and examined the locked regis ter, by means of which the detectives record their hourly visits. The widow of William H, Vanderbilt has solicitously in mind the theft of Alexander T. Stewart's remains, and she urged -t . . . . ii . i . . upon ueorge me utmost precaution against a similar outrage. "The private guardsmen are therefore maintained at the tomb, and will be 'for several years. Another desire of Mrs. Van derbilt, strangely, is that the inscription on the compartment holding her husband's dust shall not be known by any other than the family. This is a mere whim, of course, but George sed ulously respects it, and no eyes save those of a Vanderbilt can gaze on the tablet Even the detectives do not have entrance to the structure. The Potter family also presents a wide social contrast between the very dignified and conserv ative old Bishop, who was buried this week, and the Jurs. James crown rotter, wno needs no description to recall her to the knowledge of a tirod public. Yes she does, though, for the new est paragraphs emanating from her so-called "ilTrftrtiRinD' ftfpnt" mpntinne he na "tlio Viaan. tifulMrs. Potter." That is one distinction she does not deserve. Bright, neat, vivacious and even pretty she may be, but nowhere nigh beautiful. It is the common idea in society that the staid and pretentious Potters dislike her publicity, but for a fact she has gone to Paris in the com pany of Assistant Bishop Henry C. Potter, and the most exclusive of her relatives go to see her act. In last time i. saw her on the i'lith -ave nue promenade, by the way, she was followed by a pet dog whose feet were protected from the wet and cold by tiny stockings. When we come to a discussion of beauty in women we are on dangerous ground. On .Mon day the journals briefly itemized the arrest of two Sabbath -breaking men, whom the police had caught unloading some cigarette boxes and appurtenances at the door of a photograph gal lery, where pictures were to have been made of employes at work. "The trouble must have arisen somehow from jealousy among tne gins in your lactory, i re marked to the manufacturer, on casually meet ing him last evening. 4,Tell me about it." uYoo are right," he answered. "I meant to get up some pictures for cigarette wrappers, and bo told the foreman of the rolling department to select five of the prettiest girls in the establish ment to sit, before the camera. He made his choice, and told them to report at the gallery at noon on Sunday. Well, the police raided the wagon-load of things that were to have been used in the scenes. The complaint had been made by an agent of the Sunday League, and, on investigation, we learned that the League got its information from a cigarette girl who thought she ought to have been included in our exhibit of beauty." The distinctive new feature in dress is a pecu liar swish and sway of the skirts of dresses worn at balls in tip-top society. The movement of the draperies is in" harmonic unison with the steps of tbe wearer, and she gains considerably in pictureequeness, because the outlines of her gown are constantly being altered, but are all the while instinct with life and individuality. The fabrio seems to be, as ndter before, a part and parcel of her personality. It follows that a graceful belie, with a good style of carriage in walk and waltz, is iccreasedly charming. Bat how la it accomplished! 1 will tell you. Tbe secret lies in what is termed a seamed underskirt The modish girl has .not exactly put on trousers, nor yet donned the divided skirt of the dress re formers, but she has had. a seam run into her petticoat, for stylish occasions. This division of the garment into two sections 19 only for a short distance, at the knee level, and its effect is to make the dress conform to the gait of' the girl. She has to modify, of course, the usual process of dropping the skirt over her head, but no mat ter for that, so long as her loveliness of contour is heightened. This is said to have been bor rowed from Rosina Yokes, the actress. She was here last winter with her mild but polite company of British amateurs, and they capti vated the fancv of swelldom. It wa3 noticed that in her dancing she managed her long train with wondrous erace. The feat was, at the time, ascribed to skill alone. But now she is emulated. She went to a Fifth-avenue factor to get some new clothes made, at the beginning of the present season. There she had to eive away the secret. Thence it went out to favored cus tomers; and now the belles are waltzing in seamed skirts. There is a farce, "MyMilliner's Bill," depict ing a wife's despair over a debt which, unknown to her husband, she had contracted for fine ap parel. The same sort of experience is common among our fashionable women since men dress makers came into vogue. The seductive tailor for femininity promises hi3 customers all the time they want in which to pay. Does he do so? Oh no. He waits until they have got all they want. Then ha puts them in a state of terror such as I am not cruel enough to wish that any man may ever suffer, ne writes a little note saying that he unexpectedly finis himself in need of money. . He is sorry, but he must have the amount of her bill at once. Sakes alive! Please imagine that little bomb-shell falling in your house when you thought you had two years to raise the money and have not told your husband or, perhaps, have fibbed to him about how much you had spent for clothes'. What does she do? Why, what one of a thousand things is there that a weak woman can do? I sav a weak woman, because only a weak woman would lev anybody play 'with her, and tempt her. She cries and pleads, and he, very magnanimously, compromises for a promise of half down and half as soon as she can raise it. And she goes home dazed, and almost willing to jump from the Brooklyn bridge if 6be can do so qnietly and settle that tailor's bill by doing it If ehe spends many days in thinking over it, another note reaches her a firm and business-like note say ing that the tailor is reluctant to present the bill to her husband, but must do so unless she spares him the unpleasant task by remitting, etc. Oh, I've read "of other eccentricities of men dress-makers, particularly a silly story about one who tempts my sex into his place by means of a sideboard for free-champaigne, an exquisite luncheon and fancy drinks. That's fine fiddle sticks. I'll wnger a cart-load of chatnpaigne that there is no such tailor, or that, If there is, he doesn't sell a jacket by giving away intoxi cants. Women who want to drink in these days can do so anywhere, and without attracting at tention. But this other business method there is no mistake about, so far as some of tho men who are doing so much for the gentler sex are concerned, and I've heard of so much of it that I never see a walking-coat of cloth now without wondering whether the wearer has got her note demanding instant pay, and whether she is med itating suicide. I've no doubt I'm a bit of a craukupon the subject, but I write these things in justice to a number of highly respectable men who think they are doing a noble thing by crowding woman out of her principal. fluid of employment, and a highly scientific thing by sitting cross-legged when they Hew. What they think is gained in woman's estimation by smok ing the strongest kind of pipes while they are at work I don't know, but it is a fact that when I penetrated tire top story of one of these establish-' ments I saw a door open and three or four men at work on tables making dresses, and every one had in his mouth oh, phew! I stick to my dress-maker in skirts, if you please. I wouldn't believe it That any man should suppose that women, in order to get sly nips of alcohol, would take the fluid concealed in mock fruit, surpassed all the folly I had over encoun tered. Why, the simple upshot of such a device would be that crapes and the like, real and un real, would become suspicious, and couldn't be eaten with propriety at all. But I have invoeti gad. India rubber small fruit is an actuality. It was patented on Nov. 17, 1885. The number of the patent is 330,491, and I have a copy of the specifications on file in the Patent Office. ''The general nature of my invention," says the mis guided inventor, "is a capsule formed of thin India rubber, or equivalent material, filled with spirits or other liquid, imitating the app earance of grapes, currants, and similar globular small fruit." He explains bow his mode of carrying out his invention is to take a very -thin sheet of india rubber and fold the same over the nozzle of a syringe, or force-pump, supplied with the liquor, which the capsules are intended to contain. , The liquid is then forced Into the rubber disc, which distends into a glob ular form. When sufficient has been injected, the mouth of what is now the filled capsule is permanently closed by means of a fine and very strong cord, tied around the same immediately in front of the nozzle of the syrinire, or force- pump, and the surplus of rubber is cut off. The smooth, glistening capsule presents a highly in viting, indeed, a luscious appearance," he adds, "closely resembling that of a grape, currant. cherry or other like fruit The manner of using the capsule is obvious. They are taken into the mouth, and when sufficiently com pressed therein tbe thin rubber will burst, the lib erated liquid bein g swallowed and the rubber skin ejected, all similar to the eating of an ordinary grape." The ludicrous attempt is being made just now in New York to introduce the rubber grape, and society maids and matrons, who are supposed to bo of modest and retiring disposi tion, find in their mails alluring circulars setting forth the aavantaccs of secret tippling in public. Sample boxes have been "placed where they would do the most good, or evil, and the manu facturers 6ay in their circular: "We have al ready received abundant testimony ns to appre ciation of this novel and taaty method of put ting up selected wines and liquors, as they can be most conveniently and pleasantly utilized on all such occasions, or at moments when refresh ments are not proper aor a necessity. Travel ers, fatigued and exhausted from journeying, will hnd a ready means for a refreshing stimu lant whenever needed, without observation, even in the most critical surroundings. i. ne ruoDer nip seems to have been found an improvement upon the old plan of retreating into a corner of a parlor car and fishing a flask out of a gripsack. Supplied wjth a box of whisky grapes, the most respectable-appearing matron. in a car-load of Good Templars, can get com fortably full in her seat, and peaceably go to sleep, without attracting attention or losing her reputation. The circular continues: "Persons who are apt to become faint in prolonged and crowd ed assemblages will find a ready restoration This evidently means that while men go out of tbe theaters between acts, tbe women, provided wun tour or qve pony brandies, can worry through a five-act tragedy without disturbing their neighbors or acquiring an undo served . reputation for being dlsBipatod "For orators, actors and singers," says tbe circular, 'they are invaluable, owing to the un observed manner in which they can be utilized to overcome fatigue from exertion," The direc tiocs for use are minute and particular: "When putting the grape into the mouth, press the lips tightly together, bend the head forward slightly then crush the grape between the teeth, or In sert a pin or a toothpick between the lips and penetrate the grape. After swallowing tbe con tents, eject the skin." When a fair devotee in eburch is seen to bow her head upon the back of the pew in front of her, and resume an erect po eition and a placid, happy expression, it would not be safe to assume that she has been seeking peace of mind ia & purely religious way. She may have derived spiritual consolation from a rubber grape. No, no; there's no million in it for the inventor. Claka. Belle. THE MISSING LINK. A Surgical Operation Transforms Her Into Reasonably Pretty Girl. Special to the Indiananolis Journal. New York, Jan. 8. Eimira Howard was, for several years, an exhibit in the dime museums throughout the country. Her career as a human curiosity began when she was thirteen years old, and while it lasted Ehe was known in show life as the Missing Link, because her face was so badly malformed that she scarcely looked hu man. .Protuberances from her forehead gave a demoniac aspect, and she heightened the im-. pression by letting her hair go tousled, by wear ing primitive clothes and by maintaining a gib berish wildcess of utterance. When she became an adult ehe shrank from publicity .and retired from tbe museums, living afterward with her parents at No. 218 Seventh avenue. Lately she determined to have a surgical operation per formed, in the hope that she might be relieved of her singularity. She went to several hospitals in this city,but the surgeons generally disfavored ber idea, so long. as the proposed experiment did not seem essential to her health. Then she consulted Dr. G. W. Gay, president of the Suffolk County Medical Society, who had been familiar with two operations of the Eort As re lated by Secretary S. J. Mixter.of that association, the curious operations mentioned wore performed by Dr. D. W. Cheever, of Brooklyn. The first was a young man who had bony lumps under the eye3, and their steady growth was slowly de stroying his vision. The difficulty in the opera tion determined on consisted in preserving the nose from disfigurement. Curved incisions were made over the excrescences, and, the overlaying, parts having been pushed back, the bone form ing the lumt3 was. chiseled off. Then the skin and flesh wer6 fastened in place, and the face, on recovery, w.is greatly improved in appear ance. The second case was less hapny in its re. suits. Tne patient was a cirl. and the growth was on her forehead, whence it was removed; but thero proved to be rIfo a jutting into tha brain by a similar formation, and she subse quently died. , , The Missing Link insisted stoutlv on being cured or killed. She longed to look lTKiorrnal young women, and the more so as she nia sweetheart who had offered marriage. She had made her consent conditional on ber acquire ment of reasonable comeliness, for she did not believe that hi3 love would endure long with a hideous wife. Tho rurgcon found that the fossa consisted of a substance as hard as bone, and, not distinguishable from the skull out from which it grew. The skin of hor forehead was stripped up from the eyebrows, the cut beinir made along a line where the eyebrows wonld hide the ensuing scar, except right above the bridge of the nose. The bony "horns" being bared by laying the flap of skin over the top of her head, a mallet and chisel, deftly yet vigor ously wielded, chipped away the un desired sub stance. Caro and ekul were required, for noth ing marked the Junction of the skull, and it was requisite to cut off onlv just enough to consti tute a smooth, safe surface. The job took over two hours, and during that time the girl was kent whoily unccmscious bv chloroform. Dr. Cheever was assisted by Dr. Charles D. llornans, or the lirooklyn City Hospital, and a number of students watched the work, which was finished by the careful replacement of the ekin, a nea sewing up of the wound and an anti-septic dress- ng. Miss Howard 13 uttenv ruined as a curios ity, but has become a decidedly pretty girl. CAR-HEATING DEVICES. A Great Fortune Waittnc for the Man Who Will Invent a Suitable Appliance. ..... Sew VorU 'i'riti'.mp. The ,New York Central Railroad Company didn't have- anything to do with the collision at Tiffin, O., n the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, on Tuesday, nor the second accident on the same day on the Boston & Albany line, near Sprine- field, Mass., nevertheless there was a bright individual on hand at tho Grand Central station, early yesterday morning with a model of a "per fect scheme cf safely heating cars," which tne bright person wanted to explain to President Depew. The President was busy and the heat ing scheme was discovered quickly to be worth less. He couldn't be persuaded of that, however, and it took three men to see him safely out of the office.1 v "Every accident like those of Tuesday brines- scores of schemes to this and doubtless to every- ' otner railroad oiiice, eaia 31 r. Derew in a con versation on the subject of heatine railway ear. " "It is an extremely important question, and one on which alt railroad managers ar alert Wa are constantly makin experiment to find soma plan by hich we can warm ears comfortably V and at xiy v.nie time prevent or lessen -materi ally the possibilities of setting fixe to a wrecked car in cse of a smash-up. I suppose there have- 11 been re thousand devices to reach this end. . But there isn't one which, is practicable. iXa many there ia perhaps a single good idea but a ' a whole, the particular method won't work. - On some lines tbe stoves are placed under the cars. but in r trip I made with William H. Vander- bilt one time, one of the lapt trips he made, by the way, we were in a coach heated from beneath the floor. Why, we almost froze. Now sup pose in such a car as that you, run into a snow drift, how are you going to toet at the stove? And then they build ramparts around the stoves. But these are no Protection, for thev won t with stand the shock of a collision, and the live ccals vfill scatter from such a stove as quickly as from another. Everything like that in a collision is wrenched to pieces. Such plans are carefully , tested. The latest one which we tried was a stove over which was a tank of water. When the car was tipped or smashed into, the water tank was to be overturned, and the Are quenched, but the scheme is complicated, and hasn't suc ceeded." "What of the possibilities of using steamF' "No engine pulling a train of fonrteen to seventeen cars, some of them Wagaer coaches, each of which is much heavier than an ordinary passenger car, can supply steam enouch for the motive power and for he.iting, too. That is the serious obstacle against warming the coaches as the olovated road does. Besides, we make up trains here at Forty-second Btreet and before tho train goes out of the station the engine may be blocks off. It is not always possible to have an engine attached to a waiting car or a train simply to eive heat And another objection to steam is that after a train has left New York, for exam ple, it will pick up additional cars at Pougbkeep sie, Albany, Utica, Syracuse and so on. Theso cars havo been waiting at theso stations in ad vance of the coming of the train to accommo date passengers and save time. Often they are sleepers in which persons have gone to bed early. They must bs kept warm, and how is that warmth to be had from an engine drawing a tram miles awayl It has been proposed to have a special boiler attached to the baggage car, with a special attendant. This would give heat to tho com plete train; but I don't know that, the plt.n has ever been put into any kind of successful opera tion. What must be devised is a source of heat for each car without the use of fire. There will be money for the man who will put that idea into practice. Columbns left several descend ants, I have always believei. and I have no doubt that the train of 6ome embryo Columbuj is at work now developing tho method of the future for stfely heating carp, separate and in traifos. We are willing to examine everything that has .any elements of vp.lne. Our snperln tendent of motive powr ha3 studied tho prob lorn assidiouiiy, and has suggested the beBt imt provements which have been mad so tar. 1 someone will only give to the publio the righj thing, you m.-iy be sure that railroad men wll call him blessed, and will not only g him beu edictions, but approbation of the colden kind." 89 Cents.
