The building of the two new steamers by the Providence and Stonlngtou Steam ship Company, to run on their Ötoning ton Line, Is an event of much interest not only to the traveling public, but to all who are in any way interested in marine architecture, as these steamers present many novelties in type and plan, and are the result of much thought de voted to the question of the best type of vessel to run on great inland bodies of water s»ch as Long Island Sound. The size of these steamers, the ad vantage of their plan and equipment, their arrangements for speed, comfort and safety, the magnificence of their interior, fitting and decorations, will all combined make them the finest vessels of their kind afloat. The first of these vessels, the "Maine," was launched at Harlan and Hollingsworth yaid on October 31.

The saloons will be heated by radiators and tbe staterooms by continuons pi^es. All the plumbing will ba first class. The steamers will be lighted by electricity, about 60» lights being Installed on each vessel, side and stern lights being also electric, and a eeercb light will be mounted upon the pilot honse The main engine of the steamers will be an inverted, direct acting, surface condensing, triple expansion engine with four cylinders 28, 45,51 and 5i inches dlan e'er,with 43 inch stroke. Tbe propeller le of cast iron, left handed, fonr bladed, and 134 feet in diameter. Four Scotch type boilers will be Installed in each vessel. These will be 13 feet 6 Inches in diameter and 11 feet « tuuboe lo--g, and will be mads of steel having a tensile strength of 60,000 ** m u * to tbe s 9 aa Fa inch Each boiler will have three corrugated furnaces 46 Inches outside diameter, comprising 274 square feet of grate surface. The steering gear will be the William son combined hand and steam gear. There will be eeven watertight compart ments in each vessel, Insuring perfect safety in case of accident.

Grand Opera Honse, "Mç and Jack" was the attraction given at the Opera Honse last evening. It, was C ted by a fair honse. The play is a >y blending of burlesque, comic opera, variety and spectacular features. Taken as a whole it pleased tbe audience. The tunny work of John J. Burke "Me," and Arthur J. O'Brien as "Jack " was particularly clever. The song and dance specialties of Miss Polly McDonald as "Wlldrose," were well done. Thé burlesque features were good and free fram everthing'objecti nable. Tho (Boston Globs j Says: "There is scarcely a sentence or situation In "Niobe" which is not breezily merry. Tho comedy Is constructed on novel Hoes and its dlalogne is uncommonly bright and original. With rare tact everything of an offensively suggestive nature has been avoided; every burst of applause and every roar of laughter is won by means wholly legitimate on the farce comedy stage. The fundamental Idea of the piece, showing Greek civilization in contrast with happenings In a Fifth avenue drawing room, is exceedingly funny, and cleverly contrived are the «implications ensuing be seen heie on Monday and Tnesday evening at the Grand Opera House. as "Niobe" will Edg* Moor OflSoc Wfcrmt g.

To-day the Morning News contains a truly exhaustive statement by which it hopes to show that the late Democratic Council left a deficit of $10,835.23 in stead of a balance of $19,576,41 T^is s atemeut was prepared for Frauklin B. Coltou by City Auditor Billauy. It was made for a political purpose and the city auditor knew it when he made ft. Busi ness methods were forgotten and nothing but juggling with figures was thought of. Ex-President Karra's Opinion, If there Is any man tu the city who is capable of giving a fair statement It is ex-Presldent of Connell Farra. He is respected and believed by Democrats and Republicans alike. Bpeakiug of the Oolton-Blllany statement he »ays: ■'The statement is a dishonest Thera seems to be a frantic desire to pre pare the way for a deficit at the end of the fiscal year by endeavoring to shift the responsibility from the present adminis tration to the preceding year of Demo cratic management. "The misleading assertions garbled arrangement of figures are cun ningly devised, but a careful scrutiny by one familiar with the system of account Ing used by the city, will show that the handsome surplus left by the Demo cratic Council remains practically u nm paired. "The statement of June bills paid In July were all provided for la the appro priations made for this year. This will be plainly shown In the case of the ap propriations for Interest and the redemp tion of bonds, which the present Council cannot exbanst by ex'raviganoe on their part, as these are fixed charges. That the present City Council has had to pay judgments against the city amounting' to about $8,0(10. is unfortunate, but it has happened in former years, , und the 0 unoll that succeeds this o te will prob ably have similar j udgments to pay. These bills are the outcome of dispute« at law, and It is a matter of justice to the tax payers that the money is not paid from the treasury until legal resources are exhausted, and it Is definitely settled that payment has to be made. "In providing for the appropriations for next year the same course will be pursued In regard to June bills as was done last year, and by Democratic and since the present city charter went into effect. "Taking the statement of the Colt in - Blllany financial combination the bills that can be fairly said to act'as an offset to the balance of $19,576 41 do not amount to more than $700. a e and all previous Republican Councils An Ex-City Auditor's Opinion. Ex-City Auditor Mitchell save: "It has always been cuetcmary to pay June bills out of the next year's appro priations, and declare a balance exclu sive of them. Take this étalement, for instance: Here Is one item as an example —'WilllamC. Ford, three months rent of pound, to June 85. 1891, $37 50.' Of course the retiring Council ooald not pay that because it would not be p»id until the first regular bill night In the following month. Such items are too numerous to enumerate fully, but the following are good examples and show how unreliable the statement ie ; " 'B. Mitchell, Jr., for collecting city and school tax from October 16. 1890, to July 1, 1691, $746 80; interest lift for the month ending July 1, 1891, $8,487, redemption of bouds. July 1,1891, $6,000." "There you bave{ over $15,000 there that ths Democratic Council could not pay because it was not due. "The plain truth of the matter is that, the Republican Councilmen see that they are In a hole and will make a bad showing at the end of the-fiscal year, they would like the public to believe that it is caused by Democratic Council's bills left over. Therefore A Mhsm of iKDoronoo, Clerk of Council Measick glvea the following opinion : "The statement is a mass of ignorance. Tbe ordinance making the appropria tions for the enenlng fiscal year is always passed In the month of May. la 1891 It was paasad on May 28, and approved by the mayor on June 5, Among the appropriation* provided for are: Interest,$68,621 ; redemption of loan $81,600, and salaries, $76,000 ln I he Interest annropriation $8,487 of Interest dneJuiyl; injthe demption of loan. $6,000 due July 1, and in the salaries tbe police and Connell able In July to the $569.62. Included is the rt miscellaneous pay-rolls, pay amouut of There Is no such thing might have on hand, as the ordinance as Juno interest. It is July interest. It would be impossible for Connell to pay that, no matter how much balance it provides when it shall be paid.
