and investigated the present sjstera. Post
master Wilson has already arranged plans by
which the mails from Long Island will pats

While tho trial of Kilt Meyer, otherwise
Constantino Stlcgcr, as tho confessod murderer
ot Policeman Smith, Is being prosecuted,
tho pollco aro trying to fix other crimes upon
hlni. They aro morally suro that It was ho
who killed Stelt, the Williamsburg bcllrlnger,
and they havo unearthed a lot of evidence
thnt points that way, but tinno that is conclu
sive. Yesterday they found tho murdered
bollrlngcr's watch nnd they nlso discovered
that It was Moyor who pawned It. Further,
they arrested a mnn who answers tho descrip
tion ot the suiooth-faceil youth seen hanging
around tho church Just bororo the murdor.
They mndo out that ho wns n thief, with his
ploturo In tho gallery, and at least ono chargo
of poorbux robbery ncainst him, and thcro
they stopped. Thcro Is apparently no connec
tion botweon tho pilsoncrnnd Meyer, except
that tho former lived In tho strcot whero tho
latter murdered Policeman Smith. At tho samo
thno tho coincidence 19 suggestive.
Tho prisoner is Frederick Arlng, plumber,
of 42 Kast Fourth BtroeU Ho was arrested on
Saturday night In tho Ilowory by Detectlvo
Heap. Cnpt. McClusky's men hnd been search
ing two w-eks for the smooth-fuccd man, trot

Cipt. Loos ot tho Brooklyn police, who was
conducting tho campaign, and n Ikiv who sow
the smooth-faced man. 'Ihey had uhout glvon
it up when they happened on Arlng, Yester
day tho boy and Cnpt, Leos took n look ot him,
'Iho boy iniild not incntiry him, but Cnpt. Irf-os,
who iiImi saw tho smooth-faced man on his way
to the bUitlon house on thu night of the murder,
was suru he was the snuie fellow.

Tho New York detectives had searched tho

it had bought thu ticket from Kate Lauder, a
woman who lived in Orchatd strcot. She had
moved away, hut Capu Loos found her jestrr

pien It to her to pawn. Ho lived in the Or

That Is as far as the pollco have got. The
woman is not a prisoner. Meyer denies thnt
he knows anything of tho murdor nnd holds
his tonguo. Aring's record is being raked o or
with great care.

James Ryan, Jr., of Dover. Tho Indictment
under which Kolley is to ho tried charge! him,
with murdor in tho first degree. To this Kelley
pleaded not guilty when arraiirned a month
ago. Ho nad pleaded guilty to tho charge of
murder when arraigned In thn lower court Im
mediately after his capture. The change in the
plea was made In order that tbo defonco of In
sanity might be set up.
To show that the prisoner was Insane nt tho
time of the crime wilt be the only effort at
defence. Many Insanity experts novo been
engaged by both sides.

Jiiiorr-VM pitirATE barroom.
Trlnmpb or a Bachelor Oter tbe Aridity or tbe
XelKbburhnod Into Which tin tlemoied.
Thcro are all kinds of bachelor apartments In
this city; sorau of them magnificent In their
appointments, somo artistic, and a few unique.
One of tho last class Is In a big apartment houso
far uptown on the west side. The bachelor who
occupies it may bo called Brown. He represents
a large manufacturing company In this city, and
he says that there is no necessity of mixing his
apartments u, with his business.
Brown, for vurious ressons, moved from a
duwntown bachelor apartment house two years
ago into his prcsont quartors, and ho found that
there wasn't a caf5 or a respectable saloon
within tiro blocks of him. He Is notoriously
convivial In his habits after business hours, and
his friends offorcd to fit out an expedition with
some things to drink and send it up to his apart
ment some evening,
"Just make up a good crowd," said Drown,
"and come up next Saturday evening, and I
will attempt to furnish all that you want to
drink."
That sounded fair, and shortly after dinner on
Saturdoj night eight ot Brown's acquaintances
filed into his reception room. He- occupied a Hat
that had been built for housekeeping, but his
man only cooked his breakfasts for him. Brow n
said that this gave him ono extra room, becaiiBo
he didn't need a regular dining room for his
breakfasts. They were served in his library.
"Well, Brown, you nro eery comforlnblo
hcic." said ono of hiiMisltors; "but 1 should
think that you would din living so fnr from a
bar.
" Como into the room that wns intended for a
dining room and I'll show on," ruld Brown.
Tho eight trooped after him, and when they
had entered thu room they took off their hats
to Brown. It was as complete a hirroomas
could bo found In Now ork. A bountifully
polished mahogany bar run across one end of
tho room, and back of It on shelves was an
nmiizing display of liaudsumo bar liottlcs. Big
mirrors had been tilled Into tlie wall and not a
siugluiletailof a well-equipped bar was larking.
At one side Moid nn Ico chest. Thrcj smali
rnnm! tables stood In the room and each ono
wus supplied will) a bell. Kxcellcnt f.ugltslt
colored prints hung on tho wall. A luiuheoii
was spread on a side table and Brown invited
his frii nils to be seated. He slipped iirouud be
hind the bar, bobbed out o! sight for a minute,
mid when ho nppo.iicd again wore a while duck
coat and a bartender's apron, Brown's man
rameln wearing a waiter a uniform mid then
Biuwn In a professional tone shouted out:
"What shall it be I Walter, tnko the ordets."
Brown's friends laughed until they cried, unit
then thoy nuloled down and gaie their orders.
Thoy sked for the most complicated mixed
drinks, nnd Brown mixed then). When his
m in served thtin Brown's frlt-mlt, hadtoudmit
ih it they wem excellent. Brown had always
been eccentric, and his barroom was looked
upon us a freak that had been arrange 1 for tho
neeislon. As a matter of fact, however, II
amused Browuso iiuuhlhat hu Is still runnliiL
it for tils Irlculs. He husndded to It from tli.io
to tiinuuld pun tor mugs and de. orations for thu
walls, until now It Is tho most artistic private
bar In town, II has leconciled Brown lo IHIng
hi far uptown, and his thlrdy filends hate ills

XlrtUT FISUZSO -FOR IILAQK TIAlfH.
A rail sport on ljuo Itenba In TFbtcb Big
'lh Reward tbe Anglers.
IlAMMOMmroHT, N. Y Nov. 8. Black bus
fishing nt night during tho late fall months Is a
sport pecullur to Lako Kouka. Long exberlonce
has demonstrated that thoso capricious fish
have entirely different Ideas about ontlng In tho
dny time nnd at niflliL In Ashing for blnck bass
by day on Lako Kouka the angler Is obliged to
havo tho choicest of live ball minnows boltig
tbe best or the brightest of flics. If he fUncs
with minnows lie drifts slowly In his boot along
the shores, following tho curves of the quiet
coves and rounding thn sloping points thnt Jut
out Into tho lake on cither side, the lure playing
In from ten to fifteen feet of water. Tho fly Is
drawn swiftly through tho water three foot be
low tho Biirfaro.
Hut nt night, during tho latter part of October,
and all through November nnd December, too,
If ho can endure tho weather, tho fisherman
seeks places whero thowator Is from forty to
fifty feet in depth nnd where tho bottom is
rocky. Instead of slnglo hooks on his lotder,
baited wltn lively minnows, or trailing tho fly,
ho uses a gang of from six to ten hooks, nil
small, tied In pairs an Inch apart. They aro
tied to strong gut. Tho regulation bait Is a
golden shiner, a fish caught In tho lake It Is
hooked to tho gang by tho Up and tall, In a
curve, so thnt when il Is trolled through tho
water it will spin. Whero tho leador, which Is
six feet long, Is fastened to tho lino another Hue
Is ottnthed. This Is about as long as the leader,
nnd to Its pendant end a heavy lend slnkor Is
attached. Ihls is let down to the bottom. Tho
gang of honks thus plays the shiner In tho wntor
free from thobottom of the lako and four or live
feet nbovo It. This rig Is usod nt th- end of 100
or 150 feet of line.
The boat drifts or Is rowod vcryBlowly. This
hns always beon the must killing bait for nigh:
feeding blacK bass, although l.i'd fall, ni a Joke
on nn nnglcr whoso uxpcrluuco in night fishing
was exceedingly limited, a well-known sports
man rigged up i fly mndo of roosters' feathers
on an immense whllo body, tied to a hook tlio
siio of a codllsh hook, tho whoto beln,r more
than four Inches long nnd thrcu Inches bnno.
This was given tu Iho Intended victim of the
joke, with tho nssurnnco that It was tho latest
discovery as a killing night luro, and several
expert anglers who w cio In the secret went out
to enjuy his efforts with the nondescript fly. To
the amazement nnd chagrin of the experts, tho
unsophisticated angler wus tho only ono
in Iho party who killed an) bass tint night,
and he h.ndcd hnlf a durcn, thu smallest
of which weighed throo rounds, all taken wi'h
tlio preposterous luro. Tho bass would tnko
nothing else, und tho angler would doubtless
havo landed more if tho tremendous fly had not
hi" n torn to pieces by the assaults of tho six big
fellow ho hooked.
Tho bl.tcK bass caught at night are Invariably
of tho largest sire. It Is rare thnt ono much
under two pounds Is killed. They range lrom
that to four poun Is, A catch of twenty hy ono
iiiiclerlson record ns h ivlng weighed slxty-Ilto
pounds. Thu gang of hooks and tho dead
shiner have been trlod time nnd time again in
the us) time without success. The water about
Bluff Point, a bold promontory rising from the
lake nt its junction with tvhnt is known ns the
west branch of tlio hike, is the favorite spot for
night bass tubing. Tho shores nre lockynnd
tho water t ery deep.
If a person is rugged nnd rough and likes a
dash of tho weird and uncanny mingled with
his surroundings, hu will Biircly enjoy black
bnss fishing nt night on Luke Kcuka. In thu
wind that constantly disturbs tho lake's surf no
about Bluff Point there Is a chill thnt goes
strnlght to tho uiirrow. The niiiiiluicis of lin
gers thnt follows tho handllngot n wet lino nnd
tho adjusting miuw of a bait Is not calculated to
bring muih Joy to tho ordinary, cv ry-day
nngler. Tho shadows of Illult Point nro
dark on tho water nt best, and the darker
thu night the better tho big bass seem
to bite. The cry of the loon, walling, demoni
acal, blood-curdllmr, sometimes bursting upon
ono nlmust nl his side, sometimes coming from
afar with tho chasing waves, is among tho
attonilant diversions, and dors not add much to
thu cheerfulness of tho surroundings, nor to
tho zest of the spot t. If tho angler is a novieo at
It, but n successful fight or two with a three
pounder In the gloom is sufficient to mnko him
to met the chill in thu air and tho unennny en
vironment, 'lhat this unique sport is woll en
joyod on Ijtko Kouka is amply proved by tho
fact that from thu middle ot October until tho
weather becomes absolutely Insiifferablo on tho
lake not a night passoi that docs not see from
twenty to fifty bojts grouped on the fishing
grounds nbout the grim, spcetre-llko front of
Bluff Point, sometimes from tho hour darkness
falls until tbo dawn chases it away.

Jefferson Davis, tho President of the Southern
Confederacy, wns. 1 ke Abraham Lincoln, a Ken
tuekhin by hlrtb. Mr. Davis was born in Chris

In Laruo county. The date of Jefferson Davis's
birth was Juno D. 1808, and In tho Stato of
Florida Florida is tho only Stato to observe it
officially tho birthday of Jefferson D ivis is
celebrated as a legal holiday. A proposition to
extend its observance to tho State of tjeorcinis
now pending and In advocacy of the project It hns
beon urged that Georgia is oneof tho llvo South
ern States whichcelcbrite as a legal holiday the
anniversary of the birth of rtobeitE. Lee, Jan. 10,
and, as the Empire hUtoof the South, Georgia
could with propriety celebrate tho birthday of
the civilian head of the lost causo ns well as'
that of the military commander of the Southern
fnenuu Tim nf linr Udi (no rt t Vi n H-,.!, wliiuli
eclehrato Gen. Leo's birthday nro Virginia, of
which Statu he was a, native; North and South

Georgia Legislature to make tho birthday of
Jifferson Davis a legal holiday was reported
adveisely hy thu Judiciary Coinmlttco, but the
House of Representatives has by a unanimous
voto rejected tho report, and It is thought
probable that Iho views of thoso who de
sire to sco thi. day commemorated officially
in tho Cracker Slulu will prevail and that
lieurgin will bo added to Florida as one of tho
Statcscclohrallng Mr. Davis birthday. Mis
sissippi, of which Jefferson Divis was so long a
resident, whii-h hu icprnsctitcd in Washington,
In HousuniidSennlc, almost consceutlvcly for
sixteen years and uf which ho was n resident
until his death, has taken no action of this
kind, Thooxplnnatlon ot thn uintlor Is to lie
found, perhaps. In tho fact that .Mississippi is
one of tho Southern States which recognise few
legal holidays.
As a gencrnl rulo, those Southern Slnles
which haven considerable Spanish-speaking or
Creole population, or which have, ns Is the case
In Florida, the traditions of Spanish settlement
or occupancy, nro thn ones in which holidays
arc must common, whereas thoso States which,
ltku Mississippi and Alubnnm, -iro of Eng

the Conflict Condition. r the Contract.
Philadelphia, Nov. 8.- There was a crisp
ntmosphero of business In the corridors and
I chambers, of tho City Councils this morning
that ronilnded one ot a scene on a stock ex
change. Ten o'clock was fixed as tho hour of
assembling Common Council, tho lower houso
of tho municipal lawmakers. Tuo chamber met
at l he snmo hour on last Friday and pegged
away all dny at the proposition to tlo up tho
cltlronsot Phlladelphl i to tho luxury of dollar
go s for a period ot tlilrtj ) ears, and when thoy
knocked off' work It was woll Into tho huursof
darknoss. So they took a rest of two days, theso
sovcnty-nlno men who nro t.et on carrying Into
( ffect tho orders of tho lobby. Whon thoy camo
b-ick to work It was with an nlr ot rim nnd
spirit,
Tho other fifty-six members of tho cnainber
wcro not of so much Importnncr. They were
opposed lo the legislation sot up by tlio United
Gas Improvement Company, but they wcro In a
hopeless ininorltt.
Tho thief of tho lobby, former Gns Trustee
David It, Lnno, wns on hand with his staff, llo
had nn nlr of business, nB he smoKcd a cigar nnd
exhibited a predilection for tho noxt Governor
by wearing a Pete Wldctior button. llo added
to his staff -on last Friday Tractlun Dotcctlvo
Bill I louden-on, and Henderson appeared again
to-day, keeping a watchful oyo on things. Tho
lobby appropriated to Itself a room adjoining
tho chamber of Common Council, and thero
they sat nnd smoked nnd reeolvod reports. Tho
reports woie not of much Interest. Tho brlgado
of sovnty-nino bung together as each question
roqulrlng their votes came up. Tho flfty-nlno
representatives of public sentiment fought tho
lobby with the only weapon at their command,
and that was delay, but the lobby had Issued an
edict, and that edict wns thnt tho bill must pass
to-day, beforo adjournment, by a call for tbo
previous question. So tho protinus question
wns culled and tho bill was passed by a voto uf
7t to ,VJ,
lu anticipation ot this result notices wero
issued on last Saturday for a special meeting of
Select Council, tho upper chnmhor, to morrow
morning, ten days In itdvumo of tho next stated
meeting, and four hours earlier in tho day than
It usually nioi tB, It Is well understood what
this moans. Tho lobby hnvo tuo votes to pass
the I lilted Gas hill thcro.
The Mayor of Philadelphia was clothed with
ample powers for such an emergency by the
present city charter. Ho cm stimd hot ween tho
pcoplu nud thu action of tho Coiincilmon, or ho
can j Icld. What he will do In the case of this
g ih ordinance Is yet tn doubt. Tho men back of
the bill say that It would never have been intro
duced iftt had not been known jiruvlouslyth.it
the M lyor would approve it. How tnio this Is
remains to bo seen. A Judgo of ono of tho
courts of this city m ide the remark to-day that
he hollered Mayor Warwick would have '"man
hood enough to stand in between tho pcoplo and
acnrnlvnl of corruption." Ills rcmnrk shows
the bitterness of tho opposition represented by
to-duv'n minority of 511.
Tho United Gas Company's bill authorizes tho
Major to sign a contract with the company to
let it take tho works and manufacture und sell
gns for thirty years ut tho same prleo as at pres

percentage of receipts, but onlynn excess nf
what It receives above a certain price for gas,
und If that price is not charged the city will get
nothlntr. Unless tlsmres lio in tho fiscal reports
of the city, tho Incnmo to-day from the sale of
gas shows a profit of 10 per cent. Hi vol compa

1,000 of this total. It Is claimed, came from the Ger
man Reform Union, which Indorsed Low as a candi
date after its alleged enrollment had beeu completed
and after Tammany Halt had refined to accord the
Oerman organization a place upon the Democratlo
county ticket this year.
The members of that once potent organisation, tbo
A. P. A., elected officers on tho Thursday preceding
election, choosing a President, Vice-President, Secre
tary of State, Chapla'n, Recording Secretary, Finan
cial Secretary, pianist, 8enceant-at-Arms, Guard, and
Truitees. The meeting waa held in the Thirty-tint
Assembly district, and, by what aome people havo
come to regard as a coincidence, Franc McCabe, Re
publican candidate for Assembly, and William Il
McCarthy, Tammany Hall candidate for Alderman
the only two Macs running In the district were de
feated, though ths Republican Aldermantc candidate
waj elected and the Tammany Halt candidate for
Assembly was successful.
Maryland la not the only State whose Sanatoria,
representation will be decided by this yeare election.
Thirty States are to chooae Senators beforo March ,'
1H90. one, Mississippi, haa already chosen Mr. Money,
and three. Ohio. Virginia. .and Maryland, hare eboien
the Legislatures which will elect Senators. Of the
twenty-alx other Senators going out, ten are Repub
lican, twelve Democrats, three sUver Republicans,
and ono Popnllst. Ueg-udatarea to cuooie their succes
sors will be elected next year. The Senate now con
tains forty-four Republicans out ot a membership of
elghty-nlno, there being a vacancy from Oregon.
Though the Cits have penlitently and effusively
declared that they favor a total aeparatloa and dl
vorce of Stato from municipal politics. It Is observable
that they aro beginning already actlralyand Impu
dently to meddle with tho political dlTlilon In the
Albany Legislature, which Is moat distinctively not a
municipal body at all.
The Republicans won a big victory In Newark at
the recent election, electing the County Clork ot
Essex county, of which Newark la the chief city, by
6,100 majority, and their Register by 7,100 majority,
though uiually Essex county has been one of the
cloieit counties In New Jersey. Tbe SoclalUt party
In Newark made "pedal efforts la Newark this year,
and aecured 800 votes for Its ticket.
Tbo gain of a Democratlo Congressman In Brooklyn
to fill tho vacancy caused by the President's appoint
ment of the Brooklyn Postmaster was one of the
wholly unexpected remits ot tbe recent election. At
last year's election this district was carried by the Re
publicans by 7,000 votes, but the actual majority was
6,000 only, and tho dlstriot is ono liable to sudden
political changes. Brooklyn's delegation to Wash
ington Is no longer solidly Republican.
What will probably be worthy of reraembranoe as
tho last organised effort to cut a candidate for polit
ical office under the present system ot voting was
mado at this year's olecilon by somo of tho labor or
ganisations against the Judicial candidature of Fran
cis M. Scott on the successful Tammany Hall ticket.
Mr. Seott Incurred the hostility of aome of the most
active labor leaders In what Is known as the building
trades' aectlon, and they detormlned to cut him la
consequence, tome favoring tho candidature ot
Thomas Allison on the Republican and othera favor
ing Oeorge II. Andrews on the George and Low ticket.
At all largo political i-icetlngs circulars wero distrib
uted designed to Instruct voters "how to scratch
Scott." But the days for scratching candldatea are,
under the present ballot law, about oscr, Tne only
easy way to aeratch a candidate nowadays Is to roto
sometlckoton which his namo dnea not appearand
the labor malcontents falling to do this, Mr Seoct
was elected by substantially the same majority as hit
associates on the Tammany ticket.
John P. Windolph, Vice-President of the Board of
Aldermen, who was not n candidate for election this
ysar, la being supported by many friends for l'ollco
Commissioner. Two of tbo members of the Police
Board of tbe Greater New York are to lie Republicans
and two Democrats. Mr. Windolph hu a record of
several terms la tbe Assembly and he has been one of
tho most active ami Induontlal of the present Alder
men. Other candidates siiKgested nre Fred B. Oram,
James H. O'lielrne and P. nrtmour Oihbs.
