The Endless Chain Again.
It is understood, we are told, that the
parties who are to lend their gold to
the government, taking 4 per cent.
bonds in return, have agreed not to
draw out the coin again, as has been
done heretofore by the purchasers of
our securities. Of course that is a
' very satisfactory arrangement, but will
it avail anything? Suppose Jones
stands by his bargain ; what is to pre-
vent Brown from taking out the gold
which Jones heroically resigns? And
suppose that Smith, who has entered
into the same compact, has awicked
partner Of the name of Robinson; who
is to hold Robinson while Smlth looks
another way ?
A modest little item of news in the
New York Sun of Saturday runs to this
effect :
“ tussell Sage took a hand yesterday
in determining the gold puzzle. .It was
Of the practical sort. He withdrew
$550,000 in gold coin from the sub~
Treasury and locked it up in the Mer-
cantile Trust Company’s vaults. He
will keep it there until he determines
what to do with it again. Mr. Sage is
always supposed to have his weather
eye-Open.”
The fact is that Congress, by its re—
fusal to give the country any legislation
in the” premieres, has left our gold re—
serve exposed to the same old condi—-
tions that have proved so disastrous in
the past. The endless chain is still in
operation and, no matter how loyally
the Morgans and the Rothschilds may
keep faith, the gold can, and in all
human probability will, be drawn out
as before, and eventually, and with
equal certainty, find its way back to
the coffers Of those very frugal and far-
seeing financiers. Bargains of the kind
we are considering look mighty pretty
on paper, but in times like these they
cut precious little ice.
An insidious Vice.
TheSt. Louis Globe-Democrat em-
phasises the fact that the all too prev-
alent vice Of gambling is far more
dangerous to business integrity than
drunkenness. It quotes an experienced
business man as saying :
“Gambling is the skulking, poisonous
foe to business integrity. You can see
the signs of drunkenness and guard
against being damaged by a drinking
partner or employee, but more often
than not, you know nothing of the
gambler’s downward progress until your
loses-s tell the tale, I have seldom seen
a case in which the habit of gambling
did not have the ‘companion habit of
lying. The lying gets worse as the
gambling becomes confirmed. Your
gambling associate comes along with
such a cheerful mask of falsehood that
you are indignant when somebody inti-
mates that he is treading the dangerous
path of dalliance with cards or horses.
“Some years ago I had a little expeli-
once which I’ve no doubt many mer-
chants can duplicate. I was a managing
partner in a branch Of one of the most
extensive houses in St. Louis. We had
a salesman whom we valued highly.
It came to our knowledge that he was
filling in love with poker. I said that
he must be warned. The other partner
thought he was all right, but consented
to the warning. In a few months the
man collected a bill and lost the money
at poker. I then insisted on reporting
a discharge to the main firm, but my
partner stuck to his faith in the man’s
promises. Finally we compromised by
retaining the delinquent on condition
that my partner notify the firm that he
Would be personally responsible for
losses caused by ii repetition of the
occurrence. We also sent to every
customer a notice that all bills should
be paid directly to our headquarters.’
Before six months had passed the
salesman managed to collect a bill of
$1,500, and lost every dollar” .
My partner took the money out Of
his pocket and reimbursed the firm. It
is not necessary to tell anybody who
knows gamblers, that he never received
a cent from the man he had befriended.
The preacher and the law-maker may
grade other vices as more heinous, but
the merchant and the banker, who
know what is good for them, are more
afraid of gimbling than of anything

Hanlon-—Stevens.
The marriage of Miss Julra ‘A. .fianjv
lon, of this" city,7 and” Mr. Gilbert
Stevens, of New'Canaan. was solemnl-
ized by Rev. Father O’Brien, at "St.
Marys parochial residence, at 9:30
o’clock, this morning.
Miss Anna Stevens, a sister of the
groom, becomingly attired in a gown of”
black satin, with jet trimmings, and
hat to match, acted as bridesmaid, and
William MOSOyle of New York was the
groom’s best man.
The bride looked very pretty in a
costume of rich brown crepon,
chiffon waist, trimmed with point lace,
and wore a brown straw hat beautifully
ornamented with violets and roses.
An elegant wedding breakfast was
served by Caterer Mead at the home
of the bride's brother, John J. Hanlon,
on Lewis street, where Mr. and Mrs.
Stevens received the congratulations of
a large number of friends.
The display of presents was elegant,
testifying to the esteem in which the
newly wedded couple are held. Among
the presents was a certified check for a
handsome amount from the brothers
of the bride. -
Mr. and Mrs. Stevens left on the
12:45 train for points of interest in the
South, including a visit to the Nation’s
capital.

School Meeting. _
As was anticipated, there was a lively
time at the school meeting called for
Monday evening, of the Broad River
district, to take action in the matter Of
permitting the school house to be used
for religious purposes. There were
about fifty of the voters of the district
present, besides a number from outside
who went for the lpurpose. as some of
them expressed it, “Of seeing the fun.”
The meeting was called to order by
the clerk, George W. Mills, who read
the call.
Harry Payne was elected chairman.
After some routine business had been
transacted, a request was made for the
reading of the minutes Of the meeting
held January 4th, 1862. The reason for
this request was evident when it was
shown that it was voted at thatmeeting
that the school-house be Opened for
religious purposes.
After some discussion by James
Lycett, George C. Comstock, and
others, a motion to adjourn was lost.
Charles W. Hodges made a motion
to the efl'eqt that it was the sense Of the
meeting, that the schoOl building be
opened for religious meetings, without
expense to the district for fuel, etc.
The vote on the motion was doubted
and a rising vote was taken with the
result thatit was carried by a vote of
40 to 8.
The fact of-all those who voted having
a legal right to vote was questioned,
with the result that it was decided to
have the voters walk in front of the
clerk’s desk and be counted.
The air was full'of appeals from this
decision as well as motions to adjourn.
A motion that the societies or relig-
ious sects using the school house pay
for the same, as well as one that the
district had no legal right to open the
building for religious services were
promptly voted down.
Those principally Opposed to opening
the school house for the purposes cited
in the call were James Alger, James
Lycett, George Ells, George C. Com-
stock and others, to the number Of per-
haps six or eight, 'and they argued their
stand in the matter in an able manner.
The meeting lasted for nearly two
hours, and as some show advs. read‘
there were a few "thrilling situations.”
The call for the meeting grew out of
the opening of the building for a soci-
ety called the Latter Day Saints, and to'
whose manner of teaching bible truths
some people in that district took excep-
tion. \ .
It is to be hoped that the meeting of
Monday night, has forever extinguished
the small fire that was being fanned in-
to a conflagration.

ticut Oyster Growers’ association was

D. Warren Fitch Unanimously
Elected Water Commlssloner.
An adjourned meeting of the city
council was held Monday evening. It
was called to order by Mayor Hubbell,
the full board and an unusual number
of visitors being present. Among the
latter were Chief Engineer Prowitt,
Engineer'Wessels of the American Fire
Engine company, Err-Warden Sloan
and Officers and members of Phoenix.
Engine company.~ ‘
After the reading of the minutes of a
previous meeting, bills to the amount
of $469.34 were ordered paid, in-
cluding a bill of $290 for a "deluge
set” for the Phoenix Engine company.
Chairman Chinery . presented the
bill of the American Fire Engine com-
pany for the new steamer, together .
with the reports of the results of the
tests (three in number) made of the
new steamer. The two first tests
shoWed the engine as having worked
unsatisfactorily, but the last test, made
on Monday, Feb. 18th, as being entire-
ly satisfactory.
This lead to considerable discussion
as to whether the bill ought to be paid
before still further tests had been made
Of the engine. = , g
Councilman Osborn asked as to the
capacity of the steamer, and was 1n-
formed that steamers of her class were
supposed to have a capacity of dis-
charging 700 or 800 gallons per minute,
but elicited no direct reply to his ques-
tion.
Engineer Wessels nude a statement
in which he said that he superintended
- the first trial given the engine, and that
‘ it was not satisfactory,'but that at the
time he believed the trouble was due to
the coal used. He had left town, and
suggested that another trial be made by p
the department’s engineer and On be-
ing advised of the steamer’s second
failure under more favorable condi-
tions, had returned and made a thor-
ough investigation, with the result that
the engine on its thircl trial, on Mon-
day last,'was entirely'satisfactory, and-
as he believed did all that was claimed
for it. The principle trouble at. the
previous tests was that the exhaustw‘as
not strong enoughto-give sufficient
draft. This evil had been remedied
with highly satisfactory’results. .. ‘
Chief Engineer Prowitt stated that he
was not satisfied with the two first tests . j
cast one long sweeping glance around
given, as it was found impossible to
keep up a uniform head of steam. Of
the trial on Monday, he stated that no,
better results could be wished for;
There were several different tests given
the machine, some of them very severe.
and' with splendid results. He had
witnessed the trial of twenty or more
steamers and never yet’fsaw one do so ‘
handsomely.
Councilman Smith asked if the con.
tract for the steamer included 9. Warrant
for any specified time. He was of the
opinion that some engineer from outside
ought to have been secured to witness
the working Of the steamer. He was of
the Opinion that Engineer Aiken would
have been pleased. to have had other
engineers present. He did not question
Mr. Aiken’s ability as an engineer, but
believed that he and the chief as well
as others would be better satisfied if
fuither trial was given the engine.
Councilman Wheeler was of the
opinion that it would be good business
policy to give the steamer another trial
before itswas accepted and paid for.
He for one would not vote for the pay-
ment Of” the steamer, and moved that
the matter Of the payment for the same
be laid on the table until further satis-
factory results had been secured.
Councilman Chinery said that it was
not right to ask the firemen to turn out
for another trial of the steamer unless
they were compensated for the work.
Some of the members of the council he
asserted had remained away from the
previous trials who could better afford
to be present than. himself and others.
Councilman Pinneo said'that he had
been present at the previous trials.
Was in favor of another trial and that
the entire board attend. .
Councilman Smith said that he was
ordinarly in favor of endorsing the
action of a committee, but thought it"
advisable that there be another. trial;-
He' thought too, that the firemen as
well as others ought to be paid for
their time necessarily lost in'making
the trials.'
Councilman Osborn asserted that
the firemen were not as a matter of fact
out in the tests for the city but for the
benefit of the American Fire Engine
company, to whose doorthe non-work.-
ing of the steamer was due and to no
one else. The firemen had been im—
posed upon by the manufacturers of
the engine not by the city. ,
There was a little caustic repartee
between Councilmen Wheeler and
Chinery, but it was of short duration,
and good nature soon prevailed.
Chief Prowitt stated that he iwas" wil.‘
ling to give the steamer another trial
this afternoon and
member of the board to be present.
Mr. ,Wheeler’s motion to table the
matter of the payment of the bill for
the engine, was seconded by ,Mr. Os-
born, and carried with but :one dis-
senting vote. .

Monday night Constable Allen found
a colored man lying in a semi-conscious
condition near the railroad tracks in
Saugatuck. He was groaning as if in
great pain, but managed to say that he
had been assaulted by two men and
robbed of $70 in money, and placed on
the railroad tracks.
The ambulance was telephoned for
and the man brought to the hospital in .
this city, and Medical Examiner Burke
summoned, who on examination found
that the injuries were not of a serious
naturefia'pd said that he would proba-
bly be Ellie to be out Wednesday.
As Dr. Burke was returning from the
hospital he was inet by Chief Bradley
to whom he gave a description of the
man and his story of having been
robbed; The Chief almost immediate-
ly recognized the description as that of
a mannamed John Fife and wanted
here for stealing. He placed him un-

is thought that he must have fallen

' sertain—thatb. M. Figgamhemenuiting
cashier of the, Bank of Lexington, Va...
etole about $150,000 from that‘ius‘titution. .
Ofthls $80, 000 was capital stock and near-
ly $70. 000 belonged to depositors,“ The
developments show that his stealing-s cover
a. period 'of 25 years, and depositors are
angry with the directors-for having failed
to detect what was gOing on.‘ Thebank is
left with only $6,000 inicaShv ‘
Lexington~ is a town ‘01? 3,000 population
and is, the county seat Of Rockbridge, a.
thrifty farming community; - Business is
almost paralyzed ' on aec'ount- of 'tll'é wreck
ofthe bank. The Virginia Military insti- ,
trite had $20, 000 on deposit, andthc coun-
ty treasurer kept his account's there. The
town was filled today With-depositors who
came from the country to dischssthe sit-
uation, and the feeling was bittef'toward
those responsible for the careless manner
in which the aflairsof thebank were con-
ducted. . , ..
There is now no doubt that Figgat had
accomplices in the robbery. Some-persons
of very high standing are thoughtzto have
profited by the cashier’s'f‘embezzlemcnt.
Fig‘gat has been a" dissipated man, and for
a year has been a ‘hardtdrlnker; Eight
thousand dollars deposited the day before
he left are gone. . “
