THE LADIES’ WAR, ALL ABCUr JERSEY CITY RUM. Another Crusade Inangurated—How to “Mix” Temperance with Intemperance—The Po- lice on the Side of the Ladies— “They Are Great Admirers of the Fair Sex.” The crusade against rum has already begun in Jersey City, The temperance societies announce that they are making great preparations for a ter- rifle onslaught on the liquor trafMfe, and their umted cry is, “Down with rum!’? (The word rum, in this instance, inciudes lager, champagne, whis: key toddy and everything else.) The temperance Jadies are strong in numbers, and their motto is, “Rum means misery.” Unfortunately there 1s @ strong party in Jersey City who believe that rum means happiness and water misery. Others, with ‘whom a HERALD reporter conversed yesterday, were of the opinion that neither the one nor the Other constituted perfect bliss; that they mast be “mixed,” to arrive at a happy medium, Satd one of these gentlemen to the reporter, ‘The pious ladies are in favor of water, and the drunkards advocate whiskey—why not cut this Gordian knot, and take them mixed ’ This gentleman, Who was 80 ex- tremely modest that he did not wish to have his Dame published, fortunately does not represent | the majority of the population of Jersey, who are undoubtedly tn favor of pure water aud ABHOR THE VERY NAME OF WHISKEY, particularly bad whiskey. There were so many conflicting statements in regard to the first attempt of the ladies of St. Paul's Me.hodist Episcopal church in Third street to close the “Palace” billiard saloon in Grove Street, that the reporter callea yesterday on all the interested parties, whe, ol course. gave quite different versions of the affair, It will be seen, from the opinions frankly expressed by some of the temperance ladies themselves, that they do not intend to imitate the tactics of the Ohio women and form praying bands, although the Chief of Police, in his statement, declares emphatically that the police would certainly protect them, they being ali great admirers of female beauty. The gallant policemen of Jersey City being so suscep tidle to the influence of the fair sex the pious ladies will be periectly sase from the brutality of Any desperate or vicious rum drinker. The reporter first called on the reverend pastor ofthe church. He was not at home, but his wife ‘was good enough to state sume details of interest, “Some sixteen iadies of the church,” this highly esteemed lady said, ‘called on Mr. Post, the pro- prietor of the Palace billiard saloon, and requested him politely to close bis place. Mrs, Adams, who led the party, dwelt in eloquent terms on the evil influences of the liquor traffic, Now, one of the local evening papers said that Mr, Post was moved to tears and wept like a child, This was not so, and I wish you would kindly contradict it in the HERALD. Mr. Post ACTED LIKE A PERFECT GENTLEMAN and treated the ladies with the utmost urbanity and delicacy. He blushed a little on being con- fronted with such a large number of ladies; but this was perfectly natural.” “Are the ladies of the church ready to pray in the rum shops?’ “f hardly think so, I presume if the ladies of all the other churches took this step we should join them; but not otherwise, They did not goto Mr. Post’s saloon in order to pray there; it Was mere- ly a premature measure adopted at the impulse of the moment.” Mr. Post was next called upon. He laughed ‘when the subject was first mentioned, and gave his version of the occurrence in the most guod- humored manner :— “some sixteen or eighteen ladies called on me on Tuesday aiteruoon; some were very young, Others were thirty-Nve or jorty, and some were olaer. They asked lor the proprietor, and as I stepped forward one of the ladies said, ‘This is Sister Adams,’ introducing a fine-looking old lady, She addre-sed me in a very calm, dignified manner, saying that liquor did more damage than anything else; that it Was ruining thousands of jamthes, and kiliing all the young men. She asked me what church I attended, and I replied, ‘No church im particular.’ She asked me if I ‘Would not come to their church nex! Sunday, and I answered, ‘I really can’t promise you that,’ She then inquired whether they should pray for me. ‘Well,’ said I, 4, suppose you have the privilege of praying fur any one you like, and I aon’t sup- pose IT WILL DO MB ANY HARM.’ She then remarked that if 1 would close my sa loon I would vo much beiter in some other bast. ess, She desired to know whether | would do so, and [said 1 couid not promise her that. She ex- | horted me to become & more rehgious man, | ‘You ought to heart she said, Isuppose, you don’t think of very trequently,’ Teplied, ‘| suppore there is such @ thing as a nere- alter,’ and they withdrew, requesting me to think of the duty which | owed to the Church. ‘They were very nice !adies, inaeed, and acted in the most ire,roacnabie, lady-like manner. Of course, 1 treated them as iudies ousht to be give your to Goa,’ treaved, but it 1s not true that 1 wept. No, that | 1s not true.” “Do you think that the ladies will hold prayers in the Saloons?” the reporter asked. “Weil, they wou’t tod any in mine,’ Mr. Post ‘Was crue! enough '0 reply, “ior I'd put them out.” Ths was really too much, and the reporter eit at once tu call on Mr. Dunning, 288 Fourth street, One of the most active and earnest workers in tne Cause of temperauce, who 18 aiso bigaly respected Jor his muny benevolent deeds, “lam now trying to obtain signatures to a tem- ‘perance oerne among the poor people. 1 flud that mos¢ o1 the suflering and starvation among the needy has been caused by liquor, Only a few days ago we had the case ol a muther, with three children, deseried and BROUGHT TO THE VERGE OF STARVATION by her drunken husband, The salvons are not even closed on Sunday, As to the ladies’ call on Myr. Post, it 18 certainly untrue that he wept. He acied in a very gentiemanly manner, and said he would think of What “rs, Adams had told bim and try to do better in the iuture.”? “Do tue lautes inteud prayt gin the saloons?” “Oh, 1don’t think 80; at ali events none of the ladies in st.

Phose who are willing to meet tor the purpose ot organization or of devising some plan of work will please send thelr names to ‘my address, that a meeting may be called at the earliest day possible. ANNA RAYMOND, Miss Raymond stated to the reporter yesterday that it was intended to form a temperance league, which was to hold open meeungs every day, ad- mitting everybody, Without regard to denomina- tion, and that this body was to bring all its in- fluence to bear upon the authorities to prevent the turther issuing of licenses, She did not think that | praymg in the-saloons would succeed in Jersey City asit had done in Ohio. In the West the suc- cess had been principally in small towns; but in Jersey City there were @ great many Germans and other orelgners, Who were quite invincible. At present the temperance socieves were not putting Jorth any extraordinary effor's to sup- press the liquor traMec, Last iall the ladies eircu- | lated a petition asking the Commissioners of Po- lice to close the saivons on Sunday. The commis- sioners acceded to their request, but now all the, saloons were open on Sunday, The policemen did ‘| not execute the order which they teceived because they liked to take “a drink” themselves once in & while, To ascertain the probable action of the Police Commissioners the reporter sought Chie! of Police Champney, who was lound at bis post at police headquarters, “Within the last two years,’ the Chief said, in reply to severai queries, **the Board of Aldermen have only relused ONE APPLICATION FOR A LICENSE, butif the bill transierring the power of issuing licenses to the Police Department is passed but very jew applications will be granted in the juture.” “What do you think of the ladies’ temperance movement ?”? “Oh, il these women come here and pray the Tumseilers out it way do a great deal of good, It is true that the prop: ietors o1 liquor saloons have lor the last six montis shown a great regard lor the Sabbath in voluntarily keeping their front doors closed,” “Do you believe that the movement will suc- ” ceed It may do well enough in Onto, but “Oh, no, won’t do here. Even if the movement had Jull swuy it would die out by itself. They might go into @ mun’s saioon and pray to-day, and he might sell rum again to-morrow, Jersey 18 a Very Co..serva- tive State—too conservative to participate in sucn asodden uprising, which, alter ail, must be suc- ceeded by an equally strong reaction.” “And in case Ol an open conflict between the ladies ana the liquor dealers, may I ask on whose | side the police would be ?” “On,on the side of the ladies, of course. The police ot Jersey Ulty have always been very great admirers Of the jadies,”" ANOIHER DESPERADO CHECKED. Trial and Conviction of “Dan” Kelly at White Plains, Westchester County— He Challenges the Court as Having No Jurisdiction—The “Masked Bur- glar” Sentenced to Sing Sing for Qwenty Years. When the Court of Sessions at White Plains, Westchester county, opened yesterday morning | for the trial of ‘“Dan’’ Kelly, one of the iniamous gang of “masked burglars,” a general surprise Was manifested at the non-appearance of his coun- sel, It had been well ugderstvod that Colonel J. B. Fellows, of New York, who appeared in behalf Of Uke prisvuer wueu the latter, togethor witn mx three confederates, was committed by Justice | Porter, ol New Rochelle, wouid undertake the for- lorn hope of delending him, The prisoner, on bemg brought from the jail into Court by Deputy Sheruf Ford, presented an ap- pearance of utter hopelessness, and threw himself impatiently into the chair assigned him, as though the worst had been done, and he now defied the law, its representatives and its force, Indeed, this fat-faced desperado might well conclude that HIS CAREER OF ORIMB was about to receive a protracted check, as the events of the week gave unmistakable evidencs that Westcnester juries are just now not disposed to trifle with individuals o! his particular profes- sion, Toe Court proceedings commenced | ominously for Kelly and wis confreres of | the “jimmy” and the wask, inasmuch as on | Monday three burglars o! lesser note, for breakiag i into the house o: a ventieman named Weils, ut Yonkers, were sent to Sing Sing Pr.son—one ior fourteen years and the remuiing two for tuirteen years eacu—whule his partner Conway was about to be consigned to the Same Lome on the Hudson for the tull term which tue law provides for his olfence, 4 in response to a question by Judge Gifford as to whether tue accused expected tis counsel to ar- rive, Kelly gruilly repued that he did not know, as the last time he tad seen Colonel Fellows was about the middie oi Jauuary, when it was under- Stood that he was tu be present with witnesses ior the purpose 0: aelending him, Alter waiting for more than an hour for the counsel and witnesses for the prisoner the Court roceeaed with the trial and assigned ex-dudge Jucaran to conduct the delence.

Kelly | @l80 asserced toat the Court had no juriadictivo in his case. A telegram, which faied to elicit a re- spouse, Was then sent to Colonel Fetluws. The work of empauelliug a jury was periormed ina short tine, As each juror in hig turn was questioned by the District Attorney as to bis fit- ness to tr) the case the Court would iniorm the prisoner that he had the rgit to chalienge tu ne | Jest 80 disposed; Out that murose individual CHALLENGED 1HE COURT instead, insisting that he could not have a fair tial; that he (Kelly) Was simply a “niyurehead,” brongit into Court to be Convicted and not to be tried, ° ‘The testimony for the prosecution was mainly a repetition vi that given on the trial of Conway, and as there was bo cross-exXamining the case for the people Was closed = witi an expeditiousness not viten witnessed in courts, inere was 0 summing up, and Judge Gifford having briefly charged the jury they went out and returned in a lew moments with a verdict of guilty. Betore being sentenced Deputy county Clerk Mills was about to aaminis- ter the Oath preparatory (0 asking (he usual ques- tions as to the prisoner's age, occupation, &c., but Kelly doggedly reiused to be sworn, remarking aloud, “You may take what is left of me.” In response to the formal interrogations, Kel.y staved that he was forty-two years old, bora in New York, was a carpenter by trade, and had never been ina State Prison or Penitentiary, The Court then sentenced nim to twenty years at bard labor ia Sing Sing Prison. ‘The trial of “Larry” GriMn and John Burns, alias “Billy” Woods, wil take place to day, THE OHIOKEN THIEF TRAGEDY IN BROOK.

The disease which appeared among the horses belonging to the street car lines on the east side of the town two weeks since is still causing con- siderable inconvenience in the stables of some of the roads, Since attention was particularly di- rected to the matter, on the Third avenue route there have been prostrated with the epidemio Over 400 horses, but no deaths have resulted from it, Superintendent Field yesterday assured a HERALD reporter that the same number of cars were being run as ordinarily, but they had been compelled to buy new horses to take the places of those in the ‘nospl- tal.” In hia opinion they had gone through with the worst of tne epidemic, and it had been observed that rest and care would bring around those lightly attacked in two or three days, and the worst cases in a week or ten days at the ut- most. A walk through the stables in charge of Veterinarian Montross and others developed the fact that yesterday there were still under treat- ment in the hospital about 180 cases, all of which were suffering or had suffered from the well known symptoms of loss of appetite, stupor, swelling of the eyes and legs and extreme weakness, though many of these were nearly recovered. Whether the disease is what is commonly called the “pink- eye”? the oMicia) would not say, but it was in- ferred that, in their judgment, it is not, It resembles the epizooty, but, fortunately, is not attended with the fatal results of the latter disease. The treatment at these stables is sulphur, aconite and belladonna in homeopathic doses, with change of jood as soon as the horse is ate tacked, There are 1,800 horses here, and the sta- bles are excellently arranged and well ventilated. The horses of the Second Avenue line have aiso been visited by the epidemic. Mr. Joun Murphy, foreman of the stables first discovered it on the llth inst., but thought that many of the horses were only suilering from colds, occasioned by the large doors of the building being leit open too much, He soon ascertained, however, that the new disease had taken hold of them, and since then 150 have been attacked, but these cases readily yielded to treatment. ‘There were in the “hospital” yesterday fiity cases with ail the known symptoms attendin, the disease. Nota singie car has veen taken o} the line because o! the sickness, nor has there been a single trip lost. If there could be a iew days o1 fine weather, in the opinion of tie fore- man, the number Of cases would be materially les- sened, Mr. Harvey Delervergalan, foreman of the stables, and Mr. Jackson, veterinarian surgeon of the Fourtn Avenue line, said that of the 650 horses Im active service they had twenty-five “laid up’? with the catarrhal affection, Some of the horses were very weak and Jost flesh with astonishing rapidity, but when on the mend they ‘picked up’ fast, and there had not been any relapses as yet among the convalesceats, These gentlemen did not speak very encouragingly 01 the prospect for a speedy abatement of the disease, but wished jor fine weather. Noue of the carson the route had been taken off nor the trips reduced because o! the sickness, Superintendent Bidgood, of the Sixth avenue line, reported that the epidemic had not reached their siables. Tue horses were quite nealthy, and ol the 1,100 the company owned there were no more than the ordinary cases of illness, and bardiy that, as the treatment that the stock 1eceives on this line cannot be improved upon. for two or more years the President of the line, with the Superintendent, had been experimenting upon the amount 0! work which it is Bae to give @ borse be- fore a street car and not break him down beiore his time; and to this end the company had pur- Chased 2U0 horses more than they actually needed ii ateam of horses could make two trips a day and work every day in the week: but that Was not possible, and they are seldom or never worked more than five or five and a halfdays, A tour through the stables .ound everything scrupu- lously clean, and the many hundred horses ap- parently in the best of health. “Bully,” @ “retired’? yeteran, who had worked beiore a car six or seven years tor the company, Was seen, and it has been est.mated by Mr. Bidgood that he has travelled 17,512 miles over our paved etreets. He 1s stiflened up and crip ted now, but nas not been calied upon for any work in a long time, Superintendent Leadvetter, of the Broadway and Seventh Avenue line, and Superimtendent Wilson, of the kigath Avenue road, Were positive that neither oi their stavies bad been visited by the “pinkeye.”’ Their horses, each of the lines owning about 1,100, were in a very bealthy condition; the Only Cases now im bo ““hoopitala? are choo usually jound in apy Btubies, ibe Ninth Avenue line has alsv escaped, out the Teuth Avenue road has been a sufferer, and fresh victims are reported daily, but none are sick more than two or three days. The horses of some ot the stage lines, the express companies and @ lew large livery stables, are not exempt from the ravages of the disease, but as yet no serious consequences have foliowed. very one talked to upon the sub- ject agreed that the epidemic readily yields to treatment, and this assurance 1s exceedingly satis- factory. CORONE §’ CASES, Ba ABS A Death ot an Eccentric Lady—From Af- fluence to Poverty—A Sad Story. Coroner Woltman was called to the tenement house No, 252 West Forty-first street to kold an | inquest over the remains oi Mra, Ann Dundass, a Scotcn lady, about seventy-two years ol age, who had been found lying dead on the floor of her room, located on the first foor.

The Underground Hailroad Plan to Re- move the City Bulldings Uptown. An adjourned meeting of the New York Board of Aldermen was held yesterday afternoon, President Vance presiding. A communication from the Mayor, nominating Elijah W. Rowe a Sealer of Weights and Measures, to fill a vacancy, was tabled. Tne Mayor also com- municated to the Board his reiusal to sign resoiu- tions to pave, reguiate or grade certain streets, because of & doubt as to the legality of the organi- zation of the Board of Assistant Aldermen at the time such resolutions passed that body. Alderman Billings desired to be excused from further service on the special committee entrusted with examining the workings of the various city | departments, Several members objected, and on @ vote being taken it was decided not to excuse him, Alderman Gilon presented a resolution request- ing the Clerk to notify the heads of departments that the employment of non-residents 1s contrary to law. ‘Lhe resojution was laid over, A resolution, introduced by Alderman Billage, requesting the Legisiature to grant certain rights and otherwise assist the Broadway Underground Ratlway was amended by providing in case an ap- propriation from the city 18 asked ior that such request be Voted on by the city at a regular elec- tion, Reierred to the Committee on Streets—8 to 6. Alderman Koch offered a document in whict he sets forth the position which the city of New York is at present occupying. Ali the adjacent States are vying with us by offering cheap transportation and other inducements to divert trade irom us. Our natural advantages of water courses and a forty-mile water front are our strongholds in keep- ing our commerce, At present we are only w izing five miles of this water tront, of which two miles are devoted to foreign trade. The streets leading to these are narrow and the piers dilapidated. Washington and Fuiton markets moncpolize the trade in that line and help to ob- struct travel. The public markets shouid be los cated on either end of the isiand and in the centré ol the city, north of Thirty-fourth street; the public buildings aud offices of the city and county and Courts esiablished in tie vicinity of Madison and Reservoir squares, aud the commerce oi the jort so regulated that the trade of the West and orth by canals, the Hudson Kiver and various rauroads trom the east by way of Long Island should be concentrated north of Fourteenth street; that Ann street, Kim and other streets should be widened to lacilitate the contemplated improve- ments; and, iu fact, that the city should make such arrangements to give the pobis rapid transit and other advantages as will confer credit on this the first city on ‘he Western Uontinent, The document closes with a resolution Soa the Counsel to the Corporation to draw up a Dill | embodying ‘hese recommendations, and request ing His Honor the Mayor to iorward the same to tue Legisiature for its action, The paper was relerred to the Committee on Lands and Places.

Atan early hour yester- day morning five dwelling houses tn one block, from No. 103 to 111 Clinton avenue, inclusive, were broken into and robbed. The thieves entered the front basement windows, and, examining the sil- verware, applied the acid test, in order to assure themselves that the articles which they took with them were solid silver. At the residence of Mr. 0, H. Joyce, No. 103, they secured $50 worth of silver plate, breaking the German silver and scattering the débr's over the floor, One hundred and eighty dollars’ worth of booty was secured at the rest- dence of Mr. Garrison, No, 105. At No. 107, Mr, Snow’s house, valuable articles worth to $30 were taken by the rogues, who next visited No. 109, the house of Mr. Pearson. Nothing of much value Was ovtained, 0 they went in next door, the dwelling of Mr. James I’. Stryker. Here they quietly smoked, partook of a hearty luncheon and then took their departare with $75 worth of sil- verware. Captain Crafts and his men are said to be “looking alter” the burglars, TO LET FOR BUSINESS | JRPOSES.
