Blnoe ths hot weather cams on the reporter'
I room In the City Hail bu been a favorite plonlo
fclaee for anybody that wanted to ret the bene
a lit Of the cooling bretres which blow In from the
bark. The newspaper men themselves ban
ten In a conspicuous minority, their chairs
btlnsr oocupled by the lesser olty ofllclals, wan
tHrlnjr politician! and perspiring policemen
from the station In the basement. That rlel
tor mad themselves free of the newspaper
files, the palm-leaf fans, the pens, Ink and paper
and the tee water; particularly the Ice water,
fiomebndy coated ontthe bulletin board an ad-
!Terlssment of "Sceolal IndnoemenU to Weary
C.nlrena of Oily Hall Park."
"The chairs are easy." the placard went on to
state, "and the low desks offer opportunities
for street ropoie. Bnrsestlons as to Innovations
looking to Increased advantages for visitors are
respectfully Invited,"
There was also mention of the bis: water
(cooler In the further corner, which Is supposed
to bo kept full of Ice water, bat has been so pop
ular of late that It has been emptr much of the
time. Tho climax came vrlicn a large, red po
liceman tackled tho coaler and on finding It al
most dry became profane
"Why don't you make your own lee water
down in the statlonl" some one asked him.
"Too hot," was the cool reply. "I guess this
Is a free-for-all. ain't HI"
"Scorns to be. Come around later and we'll
have a special tan for you."
This was on Saturday. On Bunday there
waseomo tinkering and hammering: after hours
In the reporters' room. Tho cooler looked the
same aa usual yesterday, but the careful ob
server might have noticed that the Up cup
was attached by a wire instead of ths usual
chain, and that another wire extended from the
faucet around the body of the coolor, and If he
had the hard-working mentality of a Sherlock
Holme he might Uiave "deduced" therefrom
an electric battery In a near-by desk. A faw
I lemons bad been purchasod, sliced, and Heated
In the water, together with abig lump of ice.
The first to test the new drink was Marty
Eeese, the City Ilall Janitor. Among many
pleasing qualities, Marty has one that does not
endear him tothe Ipolltloal reportors, a habit
of baying to any visitor at tho City Hall who In
quires -where be can Ret a drink of water;
"Uo rltcht'Jnto the reporters' room and you'll
find a big cooler. Bay nothlnir'to nobody, and
they'll never know you ain't got a right there."
Consequently when Marty npproached the
cooler there wa9 great oxpeclancy of poetic Jus
tice "Hot day," remarked Marty, as he picked up
the cuii.
"doing to he hotter," somobody replied.
' "Think sol" nuked the Janitor, reaching for
tho faucet. "I'vo always noticed ow-wowl"
At the moment of contact between bis right
hand and tho faucet Marty leaned in the air
and performed strange amice. Then he sprang
back und claredjut tho cooler with wrathful sua-
plrlon.
"What's Into the thing, anywavl" he orlsd.
"Nothing but a llttla lemonade."
"Lemonade! Nothing as weak as lemonade
'' ever gave uie them kind of shakes."
"That's our now clcctrlo punch. Marty.
Like ltl"
"It'u great," said Mnrty, aa the scheme
, dawned upon him. "I'll fetch my friends In."
1 Proscntly ho roturnod with a 230-pound cop-
l per, whom be detained at tho door long enough
to explain in mi linuruss'vo whisper:
'"Them fellows is having lemonade, and you
want to go right la and get soma beforo It's all
' gone."
In view of the sire of the subject, a strong
current was turned on. nnd tho fat copper
wallowed like n colicky hippopotamus, and
left with unslaked thirst, threatening to arrest
everybody in Btcbt.
"Pinch 'em," cried Mnrty between chuckles.
"Any Judge'll hold 'em on your complaint.
Make it assault and battery 'specially bat
tery." Next In order was tho policeman who had
complained on Saturday of tho condition of the
, cooler. His plaint on thia occasion was incor
porated in ono vigorous whoop, followed by an
outburst of vigorous, if hoiuouhat iudcllnltc,
profanity. Then cnuio Dure ltocho, the Mayor's
. Chief Marshal.
"JLemouadot" said Dave. "Well, I guess sol
. Lemme at It."
Nobody barred Its path. It wbb a very mild
1 current that ha struck and a wave of perplexed
i alarm passed over his face.
"I mlstmt thero's something wrong with
me," ho uald, putting his band to his forehead.
"Maybe it's the heat." come tho auggestion.
"Mayho It la. I'vo quae- thrills up my arms.
Was any of you aver sunstruckl"
Here tho man at tho sv. Uchboard turned tbo
current on full and the Marshal went up in the
air as If a spring board had buddenly sprung
under hlui.
"That's no sunstroke." ho cried whon he came
down; "that's u rotten trick," and he departed
fuming.
Two politicians and one SI I.Ing. who is man
ager of a dountown club, then old their little
turns to the edification of an appreciative audi
ence and a Weary Willie from the pnrk benches
was galvanized Into ranld action for once in
his life. Mlko Haley, the watchman, diagnosed
his caso as rhoutnaUo cramps after connecting
- with the cooler. A Tamsen cx-polliiclan
" tackled tho lemonade with glee and gave off
compound polysyllables as n broken trolley wire
emits sparks. Finally came Hilly Leary, former
. Secretary of tho Park Hoard and a distinguished
scientist. Immcrsod in thought ho entered the
room, walked straight over to tho cooler and
connected himself with tho wires. Duck ha
leaped, his eyess'artlutc from his bead.
"Say. what kind of water do you call thatl"
be cried.
"Ordinary drinking water. Whats wrong
with ltt"
"Wrongl Why. It's electrified. That's
H wbat'a wrong with it."
H e "Must bo some mistake. It was all right a
B little while ago."
"Don't you suppose I know when I've cot an
B electric shock I I tell you there's an eleotrlo
eel in that cooler."
Mr. J.enry thon proceeded to theorize learn-
edly and his remarks about the remarkable
power of these singular galvanic llsbes were
Illustrated by a -nurd dotectlve who did an anl-
mated song and dance and departed without
getting bis drink. Th;n '.somebody explained
and the scientist '.went forth stating explicitly
that wisdom had no chance before scoffers. Ily
the middle of tbo afternoon thirsty .applicants
bad become so rare that a sign was put up read-
lag "Lemonade. Help Yourself. Hut the
story of the electrio drink had spread abroad
and unless the battery is kept there as a defen
slve precaution its usefulness will have been
J pretty well outlived by to-day.

H PitlLADKLFfiu, June 127. The Court of Coin.
H man Pleas decided to-day, upon a case stated,
Wk that the lircord Publishing Company was not
Hj liable for $1182.4.05 borrowed from the Chestnut
Hj Street National Hank by its President, tbo late
William M. Slngorly. on notes signed by the

Mt It was submitted to the court that Slngerly

Louis Mann and Clara Llpman had been 're
tained In Its' German and French caricatures,
and, as before, they occupied the attention of
tho audience a good part of the time. Mr.
Mann's dialect seemed to have gained in In

fatigued some of the people present, they tickled

The extension of the stock company's time at

Imparled fores and sometime a semblanco of

the parquet in a way. "Kagle's Nest" could.nnt

The Introduction of "Sheridan's Ride" made
the fortuno of "Shenandoah," and many a play
wright has sought a way to similarly utilize
"Marching Through Georgia" In a melodrama
of our civil war. But Sherman's Journoy to the

Dead Cicsar was on view yesterday at Proc
tor'a Theatre, where tho forum scene from
"Julius Cicaar" was playod for the first time in
a New York vaudevlllo house. The occasion
was also the d6but of Frederick Warde In the
continuous shows. Ho played Afaro Antony.
Ho began with "Friends, Romans, countrymen,
lend me your ears," and addressed a mob that
filled tho stage. If supernumeraries of tho or
dinary Bort were in the lot, trained leaders were
numerous onough to savo them from awkward
ness. A good semblance of an excited rabble
was maintained. So, too, tho speaker seemed
to hold his listeners, and to Bway them to and
for to his wlll.vAt one moment they rushed upon
him with weapons upraised, and he was a sup
pliant. Again, they voiced threats against the
assassins, and still later, as the rents in tho
dead ruler's mantle were pointed out, thoy
wept with tbo orntor. Onco boforo he had
acaualntcd them tth the contents of the will,
he had them so i.ngcred that they dashed away
for vengeance, but he called them back and
worked them up to a higher pitch beforo finally
dlsmloslng them. Kxcept for an occasional ex
clamation, no audible words were added to
Shakespearo. The brief discussion between tho
mob's leaders did not amount to intelligible dia
logue. The pantomimic action was irulto as good
as that which wo usually got nrhen the nbolo
of the tragedy la produced, and rather mora
demonstrative. The members of the mob were
correctly attired, they rushed ubout qulto as
much as thoy stood still, and tholr every word
was emphasi7ed by threatening gestures of
bnnds that held 'weapons. All this pointed

An order approving a new or modified con
tract made between Bridge Commissioner John
L. Shea and Frederick Uhlmann, receiver of tho
Brooklyn Elevated Railroad Company, and
which turns over tho tracks of' tho bridge rail
road to the use of the elovatod company, to be
operated under the supervision of tho Bridge
Commissioner, was signed by Justice Maddox
In the Supreme Court In Brooklyn yosterday.
All the parties to the action consented to this
course
The petition of Mr. Uhlmann recltea tho origi
nal contract enterod Into on Aug. '2'J, 1807, with
the bridge trua'.eca, which provided that the
elevnted cars while on tbo trip over the brldgo
should be under the exclusive managomont of
tho trustees, who wero to furnish the employees
and supply tho power, and for this privilege
tho elevnted railroad company was to pay I'Mi
cents for oach car transported. A similar con
tract was made at tho sama time with tho Kings
County Elevated Railroad Company,
Mr. Uhlmann rays tho first elevated rail
road train waa run over the bridge ou June IB
and thot cars aro now being run dally. The
Kings County road Intend to bogln running cars
by Aug. 10. Ho continues as follows!
"Tho operation of the cars of the surfaco rail
roads over tho bridge has proved to bo a great
publio convenience, and thoy an used by a
large number of persons who formerly used the
local railroad on tho bridge. In consequence
tho number of passengers using the local rail
road has decreased moro than one-halt, which
has diminished Its receipts so much as to reuder
Us operation unprofitable. This deficiency has
been still further Increased by the operation of
tbo cars of the Brooklyn elevated, although
they are only running on an experimental head
way. When the cars of the Brooklyn and Kings
County Elevated Railroad compan es eballboth
bo operated ovor the bridge upon the usual head
way, tho earnings of the local road will bo fur
ther greatly diminished, eo that the accountants
of tho Commissioner of Bridges have estimated
and reported to him that notwithstanding the
tolls provided to bo paid by tho rcspcctlvo sur
faco nnd elevated railroads under the contracts
mado by them with the trustees and of tho other
lncomo which may bo received by the Commis
sioner from the brldgo. the operation of tliollo
cal railroad by him, if continued, and It the
aforesaid agreements of Aug. S3, 1897, with the
several surface and clo ated railroads remain In
force, will involve an nnnuul loss to the city of
Now York of upwnrd of $C00,000."
The petitioner then says that Commissioner
Shea bos insisted that tbo contract did not af
ford a suttlclent revenue, nnd has repeatedly
notified Mr. Uhlmann that unloss he agreed to
pay a larger amount bo woulil annul the eon
tract. The domand of Commissioner Shea. Mr.
Uhlmann says, is that tho receiver of tho Brook
lyn Elevated Railroad should assume the cntiro
burden of oporatlng Iho brldgo railroad under
the direolion of the Commissioner, ana In buuU
a way as to afford adequate sorvlr.o to tho pub
lic, and at tho same faro that Is now charged:
should keep the cars and everything connected
with the railroad In good order, and should pro
vide all tho power and servico requirt-d to
operato tho cars of tho Brooklyn and iho Kings
Countv Elovated Railroad companies over tho
bridge, Tho recolvcr Is to hour wbuteer lus
might occur from operating tho local railroad,
while, If tho same should proro profitable, ho
must pay to tho Commissioner In each year a
graduated porccntMgc of the surplus, namelj:
Five per cent, if between 10.000 and 'JO.O00,
7H per cent. If between frUO.OOO and 10.000.
10 per cent, if between $10,000 and 0.noo,
12W per cent, if belwen tfbO.ooo and f 0.00D,
16 porcent. if between fcsO.oOOand Sloo.000,
20 per cent, if between frlOO.000 and U0.000.
25 per cent, on all amounts ci ccodlng $150,000.
The Brooklyn Elevated Railroad Company Is
also to pay '-O,30(l.i;8 annually for the uso of tho
tracks nnd b itches uf tho present brldgo rail
road, and also to pay 10 cents for ench car
owned or operated by tho Brookljn Elevated
Company for each round trip over tho set of
tracks reserved for eleiatcd railroad by tho con
tract. In addition to furnishing the porer and
pnying all the costs and service, as airalnst the
charge of 125S cents per round trip contalnod In
tho contract of August, ls'J7. 'Ihe receiver Is
also to guarantee that the nmount so paid shall
not be less that $25(1 a day up to the tlmo when
tho Kings County Company begins to run cal.-.,
nnd thereafter 9i0(l.O7 a day.
Receiver Uhlmann savs that nfter long ne
gotiations he has finally folt obliged to accede
to the demands of the Commissioner aa to tho
contract as elcn above. Lnder this modified
contract Commissioner Shea is to havo cntiro
control of tho workmen In tho shops nnd la to
appoint the switchmen In the towers, und all the
employees on the brldgo arc to la Bubjout to his
approval.
Tho modified contract. Receiver Phlmann
says, has been approved by tbo directors of tho
Brooklyn Elevated Railroad Company and also
by the Reorganization Committee which repre
sented all the bonds and stock of tho Brooklyn
and its associate companies.

before 7 o'cloik this morning, Tho storohad
been newly fitted up, nnd tho stock of ilruga
was complete. Very little can be saved from
the wreckago,
Tho only person In tbo store at tho tlmo of tho
explosion was tho colored servant, nnd her con
dition Is such that she Is unablo to give any ex
planation. Tho girl was found with her cloth
ing in a blaze, and was severely burned beforo
sho was rescued by neighbors. It is thought
that she went Into tho cellar and struck a
match. Igniting guses thero which caused the
explosion.
The plate glass windows of thestore were blown
to pieces and the front stoop was thrown to
one side. The building Itself was moved several
Inches off its foundation in front. Tho bottles
and cans were thrown from ths shelves. Some
wore dnstied to pieces on the floor and others
met a llko fate against the rellluit. The big eoiin
fountain, worth over $1,000, was thrown over
and demolished. The cases and counters wsro
wrenched out of shape.
The only things that escaped destruction,
and It in fortunate for that section ol thevillago
that they did escape, wero scveial cans contain
Ing naphtha and benzine which stood In one cor

their position made them safe from the flro that
followed the wrecking of the store.

adopted only after Mmc. Eainos had sent to

Tho light-colored bult has lost Us former

thai It is so. The light suit used to prodouil

been called light grow darker in color, and the
light suit of other days, whon tho popular hues
wero little removed from frank whiteness, is
scarcoly seen to-day. Men who formerly woro

The ceremonies at tho unveiling ot the win
dow to Edwin Booth in the Church of tbe Trans

mure than a scora of actors. There was a ref
erence In Joseph Jefferson's speech to tho pur
pose of the new window ot calling to tho atten
tion of his fellow profossionolslthe valuablo les
sons ot Edwin Booth's llfo. If the octurs keep
as far nway from it as they did on the day of
lho unrolling, thoy aro not likely to be reminded
very often ot tho uctor's career. Why lho cere
mony was urranged wllh tho privacy nnd sim
plicity that characterized it nobody was able to
explain. No actual steps were taken, indeed,
to keep out tho actors who wanted to attend,
but the number ot tbum there did not exceed
twenty, though there v. ere many nicmbcrsof the
druiuutic profession only a block off In the haunts
of Broadway. Some ot tho epectators.could not
avoid a feeling of surprise that lho memdHal

interest that teemed to be taken in it.
When Troop A was organized a few years ago
half n dozen riding academies were flourishing
in this city, and It was comparatively easy to
hiro an excellent saddlo horse. Only a few of
tho men In tbe troop at that time owned their
own horses, and ithen the amateur cavalrymen
were ordered out on parado they rode riding
school horses that were recognized here and
thero all along the line of march. With the In
creased popularity of tho bicycle came disaster
to tho riding academics, and severul ot them
went out of business. The troop was increased
to a squadron, and on one notable occasion
many of tho troopers who had neglected to pro
vldo themselves with mounts'.were forced to
rldo car horses. This experience lod moro of
them to buy horses, and last year a largo pro
portion of tho cavalrynion owned their own
horses. When a truoii was selected from tbe
bquadron to enter tho United Stales service the
horses were a part of tho oquipment fur
nished to ibem, but a good many of the ani
mals ridden by these troopers represent double
tho value allowed by the Uu ernmont for mount
ing a oavalrymun. There are nu better mount
ed men in the world than our regular cavalry,
und officers who have bad an opportunity to
flraw comparlaons say tlrat Now York's quota
of volunteer cavalry is worthy of ranking with
the regulars. A statistician has recently pub
lished In Paris whaCpurporte to be a horse

Russia, leads the world in the number of horses.
Her total Is placed at 22,000,000 head, and the
Unltod States comes second with 12,000,000

A u ttro-limitary and the German Empire are

France Is credited with 2.880,000. and the
United Kingdom with 2.700,000. This expert
says that England and Franco have tho most

Tho matinee hero of the day Is Edward Both
em. He bslds first placo In the affections of
the young women who buy actors' pictures
and sometimes write them notes. Matlneo
beroea are not nearly so frequent as they aro sup
posed to bo. William Favarsham, at the Em
plre, has recently developed some claims to
rival Mr, Bothern, but It is the latter who is ot
all aotnra most admired to-day by women,
John Drew Is; passing into the substantial pro
portions of middle life, and that Is inconsistent
with any pretence or a claim to bo a matinee
actor. Mr. Sothcrn's marriage probably bad
little effect In damaging bis popularity, al
though he seems profoundly indifferent to this
worship to-day. One morning last week be was
on Broadws) , and there was nothing In his ap
pearance to indicate that he appreciated in tho
slightest degree the particular eminence which
bu holds. His straw nal had plainly seen active
servliu during at least one season. Ills, drc-Bs in

Englsch'a story, Muller sold the saloon, Includ
ing tho liquor-tax certificate and fixtures, on
which a well-known brower held a mortgage.
Lawyer Seidnor, it Is allogcd, was present ot the
time the transfer was made.
About six months Inter Englsch decided to
