' " When I hoar men talk of Beoeding from the organization, with tho threat of starting , an improvbd order," he says, "I fanoy that t. they know hut little of the trials, the dangors, the odds againBt whloh they will havo to con tend, and I feci that the amount of energy ' nocessary to build up a new order if prop erly applied in the old ono would make it j lavinciblo. " It is truo that in tho old organization all who aspiro cannot bo officers; all who pull .

" If in tho now order they succeed better than in tho old one and soenro ofllco, thoy do so only to find at thoir elhpws men who want tho same positions, and who, liko 7. themsolvos, will stop at nothing mean or low i to accomplish their onds.

A. prominent sport fng man of this city has reooived Iottor from Daniel V. Doherty, who shot and killed George M. Graham, of Boohcster, N. Y., in Loudon, England, on Monday of last week. Tho letter was writton on the samejday that the murder was dono. Wheu it was writton Dohorty probably had no thought of the ter riblo crime that ho committed n few hours later nnd for which he will probably pay with his life. Dohorty's friends hero admit Uiat thoy fear that his fato is sealed. They know that murder is treated as murder in England, and that a man who draws a revolver nnd shoots (mother to death in that oountry Beldom es capes tho gallows. Dohorty is well known to tho frequenters of tho sporting resorts of Oils city. He is a small, blonde-complexioued nian, with strongly markod features. Ho woro a slight mustuoho and v. as gonorolly well dressed. Ho was not addlotod to talk ing, nnd consequently very little is known about him. Two years ago ho owned a milk routo uptown, which his brother-in-law pur chased for him, but the business proved too laborious for him, and he soon gavo it up. Dohorty was said to bo tho chief of a gang of bunco sharps who operatod vory successfully for a time, but nothing was ever proven against him. Ho was arrested onco. but easily securod his release He went to Europo threo years ago. Over in England Doherty is known us a bookmaker, nnd ho claimed tp have indo- Sondcnt means. Whoro ho acquired his sud en riches is a mystery to his frionds in this city, for ho novor had much money whon ho was hero. , Dohorty wrote tho letter above roforrod to from his lodgings, 47 Wobcm place, ltuBsell squaro, London, a few hours boforo he shot Col.

Tblrty-flvelyears ago a family was trav elling througn Rochester, N. Y., which attracted tho attention of Mr. Hiram llobblns, of that place. The family Lomlsted of a careworn man, an insane mother, a boy and a girl under six years or age and u baby boy. -'.Tho man was traveling to wards Vermont to place his wlto In an asylum and to get bis helpless children among friends. Mr. and Mrs. Kobblna, tak ing pity on the man In his troubles, kindly offered to take the iSaby boy nud care tor It until the father returned. Tho olfor was gladly accented and the child was left, the rather stating that Its namo was Frank Dyer. Mr. Dfer then proceeded on his iouruoy, Dlaclng bis wife in the asylum at Battle ioro, ltaUug the other two children with their grandparents, and himself returning to tho West. .Meantime Mr. ltohblns raised the charge left to his cure, and the lutlier dying lu the Went never re turned. Of tho other two children tho girl grew to womanhood, married and lives at llruttlcboro,to bo ueur her mother, who Is yet alive, and the boy, now V. II.

Through all these jcars the mother In tho asylum has, lu rational moments, romembercd tho baby left behind, and for this reason the other two children, too young ut this time torctnember much of their llttlo brother, tmvu constantly sought for the lost baby but supposed that the foster parcu's had glviu It the name of Uohblns andhac looked for a pcrton of that name.

IFrom (An lltnntitgham Ag. A prominent lawyer, with an oftlce on Twentieth street, Is the hero of a good story, which Is known only by a few of his lntlmato friends. Last sum. mer be purchased a house and lot, which be thought a good Investment. The houso was rented until Oct. 1, and the lawyer noililed his ascnt to collect the rent, which was 120 per month. Not long after wards the uncut uotihed tho lawyer that the lady occupying tne houso could not fay the rent. " Put her out, then, and rent it to some one who can ray," were the Instructions given by tho lawyer. The following day the lawyir's pastor called on him and snld: "There Is a poor widow uptown who Is unable to pay her rent and they ure going to ?ut her outdoors. Give me $W to pay her rent." 'he lawyer promptly handed over tho amount, and the minister continued to call every month for a like amount until the first of October. The lady occupying the lawyer's home paid her rent aud was not put out. but when renting time came around the agent said he could get $!A per month for tho bouse, and the owner, of course, In structed him to do so. A few days later a lady called on the lawyer In great distress, and said: i' Mr. , your agent has notified me that you have advanced the rent, and I cannot pay more than $so." " Well, you ought to be ablo to rent a comforta ble home for fX, " answered the lawyer. " Well, Doctor tells mo that you aro the gentleman who has so kindly paid my rent, and if you can find me a I'M house I will move Into it. " Then the lawyer saw the Joke. He had for three months been paying the widow's rent on his own house. He enjoyed a good laugh, and told the lady to And a f ) house aud ho would pay the rent for her. fllnjor Husaerty Much Better.

Young Oharnell Hlghtower, the boy who died Wednesday from the effects of a blow from some unknown negro, was buried yesterday amid remarka ble Eccnos. Tho Prohibitionists seem to havo been doing all they could to make polit ical capital out of tho boy's death. The Young Men's Prohibition Club, of whloh he was a momber, took charge of tho reuiaius, and the funoral, instead of being held at his father's house, was held nt Prohibition head quarters, whioh was draped in mourning. Thoro was a great crowd present. " In Momoriam," "Dfad with Hia Armor On,'1 " At Host," wero tho legends on tho black board at tho head of tho hall, nnd floral offer ings bore similar mottoes. As many as ten preachors took part in the oxcrciBos and tho hall wns crowded. Itov. II. 0. Morrison and Rev. J. I). Hawthorno de livered tho funeral orations. In tho course of his remarks Dr. Morrison said : " ' What o man sowotb, thut also shall ho roap. What a city or a nation sowoth, that also shall it real).' This is hut tho voico of that univorsal law that says: 'Whatsoovora man Boweth shall ho also reap.' Whilo we would utter no word of bitterness towards thoso who differed from ub, and whilo thcro aro many of them, I dare say, who doploro thiB doed, yot it is tho legitimate reaping of tho seed just sown. It is tho firBt sheaf, gathered soonor than any oxpoctod. but the prolude and prophesy of the harvest which must in evitably follow. It is tho preface to that history whioh rum is to mako in our city, and thnt prefaco is naturally written in blood, and that by tho almost unaccountable elo ment used by others to preparo material for that history. Flushed with whiskey aud frenzied with tho enthusiasm of success, the brutal hand has crushed out this young and promising lifo, and with tho blood baptized our city into its new relation." Dr. Hawthorno, spanking of tho relation of tho Prohibition question to tho crime, said : " It would bo not only unjust, but oxcood iiiL'ly foolish in ub to say that tho anti-Pro-hibitiouists as a party aro responsible for the murder of this young man. I beliovo thcro aro hundreds of mon in that party who are as incapnblo of such a deed as any of us. I be lieve that thoro aro many among them who deprocato tho crhuo as profoundly as tho bout of us. But this I shall say, my senso of truth nnd right, and my love for tho best interests of tho community, compel- me -to say TLa --murder -of young Hlghtower is ono of tho inovitnblo fruits of tho iniquitous trafflo which is again fastened upon this fair city by the triumph of tho anti-Prohibition party. Hightowor was murdered, and the guilt of that orimo rests upon ovory liquor dealer in this country." The burial was at Fort Valley, Qa., and a delegation of Prohibitionists attended. The polioo last night arrestod Elbert Ware, a nogro with a pretty bod rooord. Thoy think he is tho murderer of Hightowor. WARFARE ON "BAWDUST"MEN.

Tho police say that ho is the man who gives out the " hoodie" to tho dupo. Tho fifth nnd last prisoner, John Hawloy, is described as an ex-bluckinailor.

Ryan, was perpetrated in tho railroad cut at tho Thirty-fourth streot ferry last Saturday ulght. Tho victim was Miss Bruce Torrenco, tho daughter of Robert Torrenoo, a builder of Claroncovlllo, L.

Dy marriago sho is n rolativo of Polioo Cnpt. Eakins, of tho Leonard street squad. Sho is cmployod as a cashier In Alexander's shoo storo at Sixth avenuo and Twenty-third street. Saturdays tho storo is kept open later than usual, and thus it happened that at 0.45 o'clook on tho night of the robbery Bho was riding towards tho Thirty-fourth streot ferry in ono of tho bob-tall cars of tho Twenty third streot lino that cut through tho block from First avenuo to tho ferry. Thero wero besides her in tho car n mnn and a woman. Tho cut is dark and loncsomo and the ad joining strocts aro tho abode of about as had a gang of young toughs as thoro is in this city. Miss Torrenco sat noar tho end of tho car as it entered tho out. holding her pocket book iu hor hand. She hud just bought a clock for whloh Bho had paid out most of her money and a little mora than SU was loft. Tho lights on First avenuo had barely dis appeared when the door was jerked open nnd a young man with a heavy black muBtacho darted in, seized tho pocketbook and tried to wrench It away. Miss Torronco was taken by surprise, but sho held on and resisted tho thlof. Angered by hor resistance, ho shook hor roughly and dragged her out on tho platform. Uoro Miss Torrenco found her voico and scroamod until it scorned as if she must bo heard at tho ferry. Hut no help came. Tho car wont on with tho driver calmly looking back from tho front platform and tho one malo passcngor in tho car looking on in stupid surprise As tho car swung around tho curvo near tho forry, tho thiol with a sudden jerk throw Miss Torrenco off tho platform into tho mud, and tore the pookotbook from hor grasp. The fall and tho shock partly Btunnod her. but her blood was up and sho rouBod herself in timo to sclzo tho coat-tails of tho robber as ho ran towards First avenuo with his plunder. Sho was dragged a step or two through tho mud before no waa able to shako her oil. Mnddy and bedraggled from head to foot. Miss Torrenoo aroso and hurried after tho oar, to find tho male passenger standing on the back platform holding tho box containing hor cloak. To her indignant reproaches ho replied only with the lamo oxouso that ho thought it was a friend who was hauling hur out of tho car. At the ferry Miss Torrenco fonnd hor two brothers waiting for her. They had uot heard hor scream. Hor appoaranoo startlod them, Hor dross and ovon hor hat wero cov ered with mud. Sho had, however, rocolvod no injury in tho assault. At MissTorronce's requcss a friond brought tho mattor to tho attention of Inspector Stoers on Monday last. Miss Torreuce's de scription of tho robber Is that of a young man, with a phenomenally heavy mustocho on a vory young face. Sho thinks that it w as probably falso and stuck on for tho occasion. Tho follow woro a chock suit and a derby hat. Capt. Ryan's procinot is in Inspector Will iams's district, and Inspector Steers handed tho case over to him ; but the two officials aro working together to catch tho highway man. Capt. Ryan being called upon to mako a statomeut of what ho had dono, reported to-day thnt ho hud undor arrest a young thief answering tho description, who is under $1,500 bail on a similar chargo. In his pocket was found a falso mustache, Tho follow Is now in tho Tombs. Straugo to say, Capt. Ryan had in no way communicated with Miss rorronce up to mis morning. The Inspectors, upon roceiving his report this morning, summoned him to headquar ters, and as tho outcomo of a private inter view, Miss Torrenco was roquobted to come to hoadquarters to identify, if possible tho prisoner. Capt. Ryan was instructed hore uftr to put a policeman on duty on the rail road cut, at least on Saturday nights. m BENTIUENT LVPAVOR OF SMITH.
