6 THE COLD WATER WAVE. ad Another Temperance Meeting at) Harry Hill's. THE WORK IN THIS CITY AND BROCKLYN, Comic and Serious Phases of the Move- ment in the West. The Mecting at Harry Hill’s Last Night— A Large Crowd—An Auditor Who was Troublesome. it was an orderly and at thesame time a jovial party, that which gathered together last night at Harry Hill’s to hear the gospel of temperance preached and the songs of temper- ance sung for the benefit of Harry’s customers and of all others whe were present, to whom rum sellmg or rum drinking was a habit and a custom. There was the usual display of red | dights on the outside of the “ theatre” afier dark, and, to add to the brilliancy—to the cold water Occasion especially and to the purity of the tem- perance cause generaliy—a huge calcium light was made ijast to one of the upper windows of ‘the house, so that no waylarer, no matter | how overloaded with the liquid luxuries of ether saloons, could fail in passmg to learn that there wasa piace even in Houston street where he might become a full edged temperance man for at least an hour or so, The crowd Which filled the barroom up stairs to overflowing was made up of the usual elements of a Houston street crowd, with a fair sprinkling ‘ere and there of men who were respectable, and who showed, by the way they attempted to keep in the background, that they had attended nly out of curiosity. Although there was by no means as large a humber of “sisters” On hand as there was last Sunday evening, who did their pious best, so to speak, to make THE “HYMN HOLLERING,” as Harry irreverently calls psalm singing, there was by far a larger number than ever of females who are not advocates of temperance and who are not ranked in the census returns as women having husbands. The truth is that, despite the efforts made by the managers of tne | might’s entertainment to make the meet- | ing an exnidision of piety and virtue from beginning to end, the frail and the weak ones, whose familiar haunts are the back streets of the town, somehow succeeded in securing eligi- bie places in the saloon long before the opening prayer was said. Yet were they, too, like the men, orderly. It is true that they came bedecked tn all the richness of silks and satins of a gorgeons hue, bespangied with giarimg ribbons and imitation Jaces, but they were evidently held under duresse by Harry’s order to keep their mouths shut. Many of them, in their anxiety to see and be seen, had to content themselves with the bar counter itself as @ seat, and there and on the | benches ranged about the east side of the room several of them dozed quietly dur- ing the preaching and the praying. It wasa sight | that must have been extremely encouraging to the ‘women of the temperance order who came to pray and sing that women and men too, not of te! order, might sign the pledge before the night as over and give handsomely to the hat that was to Ye passed around alter the singing of “GIVE, OH! GIVE WHAT WE DESIRE.’ It is almost unnecessary to state that the mana- gers, male anc female, were the same parties Who did so much a week ago to make the praying band a success as a praying band, regard- jess 0! the effect the prayers had upon their hearers. It of course fell to the lot of the MeMul- Jen, he of the National Temperance Socie Open the proceeding: McMullen, dressed to kill. he did not take off during the meeting, of the cream-colored hue, and the newness of his black pantaloons and vest was neatly set off by @ white necktie, which gave him quite a ministerial air, particularly when he made bold to make a prayer, with the Bible in one hand and a bundle of tracts in the other. The Dianist too, was the same who did the mu honors the Sunday previous, a bright eyed young girl, with a smiling, innocent face, that certainiy Jooked very much out Oo! place in the midst of such strange and coubtiul urroundings, In opening the ag earnestly as he knew how that come irom the “movement,” and then on at great length to eulugize Harry his goodness of heart in having him and his the free use of the for temperance mancuvrings. ‘his praye may be mentioned just here, was delivered b Mr. McMullen had tidden three of his cowork: go about in the crowd, hatin hand, to gather fuei jor the fire in the shape 01 stamps t for tracts and the like.” The an earnest one, however, so much so that it drew forth {rom an excited toper just im front of te Btage on the front row of seats a little song whieh he dreamily hummed as Mr. McMuilen called for the singing of the hymn— Ail hail the power of Jesus’ name. The toper was a jolly looking ola dog, witha highly embellished anti-temperauce nose, and he @ung as follows in a low tone :— Our strength is in the living spri As long as Waters run Or grass grows green We're pledyed to keep our temperance What thoush the fire king wucks our As great Goliath did? We've temperance Davies in our ranks; We'll brung awey his head. Fortunately for the good of the canse the gentile songster fell asieep at this pouit, and there was, therefore, no extra call jor ‘‘Horder, gents,” from Harry, who stood on the stage, with gavel in hand, to preserve THE DIGNITY OF THE MEETING. AS a matter or tact, however, it must be s that nothing new was said by the coid water Mon- tanists of the evening. Mr, McMullen quoted the words, “Wine is @ mocker,” and then, as usual, went on to quote tur- ther from the Bible as to why he who partakes of wine is not wise, Unlike the Meeting ol a week before the audience listened attentively and, with the terror of Harry and his gavel staring them in the — face, did not presume upon interruptions that were out of place or in pla Still th Was one auditor who, like Banquo’s ghost, wot not down.

Inauguration of the War on King Whiskey in Lancaster, Ohio—Female Curses the Strongest Defence Against Female Prayers—Conversions and De- feats. LANCASTER, Oh1o, March 15, 1874. On last Monday, the inaugural day of the women’s crusade in this aristocratic old city, some two dozens of the ‘‘rummies’? were waited upon, with but limited success, however, There were many interesting and lively incidents attendant upon the advance of the religious cohort, a few of which we will compendiously record, “DUTCH” PEROCITY, ‘The ladies were recsived with hospitality and courtesy until! arriving at the Hocking Valley House, a filth rate hotel presided over by one Philip Betz, whose five feet of flabby Dutch bu- Manity are topped with a head of the ball- dog order, ornamented with a@ mass of matted hair, sore eyes, huge mouth and massive jowl, The leaders of the fair propagandists, Mrs. Rev. Creighton and Mrs. 8. J. Wright, bad no sooner made their appearance at the door of this dirty little inn than its proprietor’s flabby corporeity seemed to sweil to twice its natural dimensions, and, making a toadlike leap from behind the greasy, reeking bar, he ratsed bis filthy hands, with distended fingers, like the talons of some bird of prey, and was about to clamp them upon one of the ladies, when a gentleman standing by placed himself between “Dutchy” and his intended victim, This, however, only aroused him to the last extreme of ferocity, and seizing a heavy bar, used in tastening his door, be drove every one irom his house, closed and locked the door,and while the ladies were engaged in devotional exercises on the sidewalk he and his wife, from an open win- dow, heaped every indignity and foul epithet they could utter upon their devoted heads, YUE FEMININE TONGUE ON THE DEFENSIVE. Another hotel, @ counterpart of the one just Mentioned, with @ proprietor of similar merits, Was the theatre of the next interesting scene. Here the lady interviewers were met by the pio- prietor’s /raw. Brandishing her naked arms, which looked like great links o! blood pudding, and oscillating bh cucurbitaceous cranium, she vociferated in delir- jous “Dutch” “I tinks you had better be home and tends to your own beesness, Abrwlty 3 your dirty brats, in- stead of playin’ de snipocritic here and disturbin’ my Yacop! sum beer, und sum cabbage ef youre starved ;” but how the irate female expected them to enter with her elephantine proportions completeiy filling the doorway passeth comprehension, and with audible sighs the crusaders Moved on to attack a more Vulnerable quarter of King Whiskey’s jortifl- cations. Yesterday afternoon, in coupés, quite a strong band of these gentle discipies visited East Lan- caster and made a desperate sortie upon the reaoubts of the enemy in that part oi the city. THE JOLLY GOD PERSONIFIED, The first works assaulted was the ‘Travellers’ Hotel, which is run by Jacob Bletzman, who had evidently been apprised of the ladies’ intende: visit, and had been disposing of as much ol the execrabie distillation as he possioly could, by drinking it, or in unequivocal, comprehensibie English, he was “drunk.” By the patronymic the reader has doubtless inferred that “mine host? 1s of the Teutonic persuasion, who, with the two al- ready introduced, makes an interesting trivm- virate. “xcuse me, if you bDleese,” he mouthed in re- sponse to Mrs. Creighton’s importunate request to sign the pledge, “I’m seventeen year in dese kKundry and | no yet buts myseive upon dot baber,” and, in the endeavor to emphasize this assever tuon by a nod of the head, be came well nigh elon- gating himsell upon the floor. “Well, my brother,” continued the good little woman, recoiling slightly in evident afrignt, “do you realize what an incalculable good you would fs doing to God, to your jellow men and your clit ren? . Uxcuse me, my frau’s got no children, ha! ha! “Well, then, my friend, the good you would be domg to otier people’s children? Why, amely action on your purt tu this great cause may save hundreds OF souls and be the redemption and final salvation of your own. Now will you not come to the Presbyterian church?” “Oxcuse me, I doud b’long to dot shurech, I bilong to the Deutsca shurch, vich is so goot a shurch a8 bever Vas,’ was lis indignant interpola- tion, lus form seemingly going through a process ol tumefaction as he igentified is reugion, WHISKEY TURNED TO TEARS. “Well, then, my brother, go to your own church and pray to God to point out the path in which He would you should go. And won't youjoin us now in prayer that tue Lord will remove trom our midst this great curse {”? “Yas, yas, | vill do nothings vat you do not vant me not todo atall, 1 brays.”’ And in reverentiy inclining his head he lost his balance and pitched over against the counter, Where te remained till the devouons Were ut ap end, ‘The touching yeal had unquestionably reached this stolid Germal eart, Jor the great tears rolled down his cheek and bis irame shook ag uf paisied. “uxcuse me,” be blubbered, “I quits so soon as I gits my beer out.” Of which we were in momentary dread that he would do in the manner in which the whale got rid ol Jonah; but, fortunately, no such cutustrophe | occurred. A FRENCH MONSTER AND SPOUSE. After hearing this prouuse solemuly reiterated | the crusaders entered their coupés and were driven to the establisiment of Julius Vagnier, a Frenchman. He at once assumed an attitude or vantering and derision, and kept up such an sant, imcohe t chattering that the 3 were unable for some time to dis- the nature of their mission, No of pleading could induce him to chose amount allow them to hoid religious services within his establishment, and the women were compelled to Make the most o/ the sidewaik’s accommodations, While Yhey knelt here, and while their low and mourniu!

How to Organize and Conduct Temper. ance Societh nd Meetings. To THE Epiror OF THE HERALD:— ‘The letter just published in your columns from a | Western prelate, venerable alike for his years, his | virtues and the eminent services rendered to his people, has struck the keynote of sound temper- ance doctrine. 1t marks clearly the excesses to be avoided, both in explaintng to the people the na- ture of temperance, and in expecting or exacting from the laboring classes an impossible degree of abstemiousness, It is cheering and healthful to read such words amid the contradictions, the con- fusion, and the petty passions which make 80 many Babels of the most respectable temper- ance meetings, ¢ven when held in religious edifices; even when opened by prayer and | accompanied with psalm singing; may, even when directed by ministers of the Gospel. Allow me to point out how temperance | meetings should be organized in order to reach the Masses and effect a real change among the intem- | perate, and in what manuer teinperance societies should be organized and controlled to secure sold, serious and permanent good. The proper place to hold such meetings is God’s house; the proper spokesman is such @ man as that venerated arch- bishop, who, for” more than ten years, amid the great labors of his office and the infirmities of ad- vanced age, will “touch not, taste not,” for exam- ple’s sake, and the proper platform irom which true teaching on temperance shoald descend on the masses is the pulpit, with the Bible asa test book. Lutemperance is no new vice in our Chris- tian civilization, nor ts abstinence a novel virtue; | nor need we newly discovered principles on which to denounce the one and persuade the practice of the other, But there are new forms of intoxica- tion in this nineteenth century and in our own land particularly, and frightiul evils growing out of these forms, and there is one new ele- | ment introduced into the history of drankenness among us—namely, adulterated Mquors, drugged , and poisoned alcoholic stimulants. Say tiat the | invention of this is not from above—that it is not God’s gift—and few will contradict you. Say that pubiic opinion and legisiative authority should combine to prevent adulteration and to punish the | sale of these drugged stimulants, and every sane man will applaud you. Now, by whom are the | working people to be snown the nature of these poisons introduced into ther beverage, with the | authority of irresistible persuasion, if not by their trusted religious guides and teachers ? And where, without the excitement, contusion or conflicting | passions of public assemblages, cun they be taught the beauty of that virtue held to be one of the car- dunal virtues by the old Greek Pagans, as well as by Christian theologians, tf not while sitting in the house of prayer and listening calmly to a simple, unimpassioned exposition of the Gospel? Were it possibie to begin among the great religious deuomimation represented by Archbishop Purcell @ simultaneous movement against mtemperance ip every diocese and every congregation, 80 that within the space of one month appeals should be made from every pulpit, it is morally certain that the victory would be won, the saie 01 drugged stimulants would be practi- cully ended, 0 tar as Catholics are concerned, and they would be themselves prepared to ask for a legislative remedy against the manufacture and the sale of poisoned alcohol. This point 1s urged with ali respect on the attention of those to whom it belongs to move in this matter, and wuo, per- haps, are ouly waiting ior the cail of public opinion to begin a crusade Waose success would not be douvtiul, Lhe mterest created by tne present agitation demands that a clear and juli doce ual statement should go forth from the Catnolic episcopacy defining what 1s lawful in the use and sinful im tie misuse, | of ail wine and strong drinks, explaining | autuoritatively to the manufacturers and sellers of the poisons how dealt out to the poorer classes the enormity of their guilt, laying down rules tor | the sale even of Wholesome liquora, which may he|p to prevent tueir being dealt out to habitual drunkards, to Women and children, and impos- ing such spiritual penalties on transgressors as may rouse the Vast popuiation who turive by the guilty abuse of this trafic and tuetr victims ‘to a sense of their Wronguoing.

In a town, which must not be named, # pastor, superior alike for his talents and his wisdom, had thrown his whoe soul | into aT advocacy of temperance. His ‘people, however, ‘were made up either of such as lavored in .ounderies or cotton and woollen factories, or of a large minority who sold rum and bad Whiskey and absorbed most part of , the laborers’ wages. He called together in thé | church all those who thus tradicked in alcohol and | laid before them in such truthiul colors the evil of seling Grugged beverages, and of selling them at all times and to all persons indiscriminately, that many were moved to tears, He begged them | to meet together in the schoolroom on a certain | day and to consult as to what shali be done to save their own souls and help him in the discharge of | | his duty. They met, and the upshot was tuat one- | third renounced dealing in alcoholic liquors, aad | the others drew up a reries of rules Which they bound tiemselves to opserve and which closed the | door to the most crying abuses o! the trade. These were submitted to the pastor, altered, completed | | and approved by him. He immediately obtained | srom toe authorities the Closing of all the unlicensed | and low groggeries; read from the pulpit on the Joliowing Sunday the resolutions adopted by the meeting ol tavern keepers, and proceeded to or- ganize Ws parisnioners into societies combining | the practice of temperance and _ benevolence. There was no bluster, no agitation, but quiet, en- | ergetic working, aided by a faituiul, constant and gentle discharge ol every pastoral office and social duty. And it Was a complete success! There are in every locality so many families ruined, made | | desolate and kept in hopless wretchedness and | degradation by the unrestiieted sale of intoxicat- | ing drtuks and by thew habitual misuse, that any clergyman willing to do God’s work and do it earnestly will tind abettors in the large, sober ciass among his hearers, powerful auxiliaries in the Wives anda children made miserable by drunk: | en husbands and parents, much silent sympathy, 11 not active support, among the tmtemperate themselves, Let hin who has to answer at the judgment seat for the souls entrusted to him be sure t he will not fall if he only avoid in- temperance of language and extravagance of zeal, everything savoring oj lavaticism, in waging War with @ vice which is the enemy of God and man, ‘This uniformity of doctrine, def- finiteness Of aim and unity of action on the part of bislops, pastors aud people it is that must, if | turned to account, Imake temperance a@ sure and | | Speedy success among Catholics, There is no new | doctrine to be enunciated—only certain misunder- standings, akin to (iat mentioned above, are | guarded against when the hierarchy take the lead | ame lay down practical directions which are to be | arule ior the inferior clergy, Will this be done?

THE PETERSBURG VETO. Rage of the White Conservatives at Governor Kemper’s Action— Accused of Collusion with the Republican Adminisiration— Threatening Chaos of Parties—The Governor Burned in Efiisy— Lynching Propositions. RiouMonp, March 14, 1874. Tbe most profound political sensation that has occurred tn Virginta since the close of the war was created by Governor Kemper’s Message to the Senate vetoing the bill to provide a new charter | for the city of Petersburg, 1t is known to the readers of the HERALD that the city of Petersburg, like the State of South Caro- lina, is hopelessly republican by reason of the large majority of negro voters, and, like the Palmetto State, it has been ill governed, plunged in debt and the deepest distress by the negro domination. All efforts of the whites to gain control of the municipality having proven a failure, and the business prospects of the city continuing to depreciate, as a last resort they appealed to the Legislature. A bill was framed creating a municipal board of commissioners to be appointed by the conser- vative Judge of the Hustings Court empowered to control the Police, the Fire Department and some of tbe lesser officers, and with authority to draw upon the City Treasury for junds to execute their trusts. FOLLOWING THE EXAMPLE OF NEW YORK. The clause of the State constitution hay- ing reierence to the government of | cities 18 exactly the same as that of the | State constitution of New York, from which it was | copied, and the action of the New York Legislature | about 1856, placing the city of New York under the control of a municipal board, which action was sustained by the Supreme Court of New York, was urged as the strongest argument in favor of the constitutionality and the legality of | the scheme. This bill was passed by the Senate by rather a close vote—21 to 17. In the House the Mejority in favor of it was much stronger, the Committee on Courts of Justice of that body hav- ing decided it was constitutional, and all but three of the conservative members declaring that it was expedient. PETERSBURG. So great was the rejoicing upon the passage of | the bill that salutes were fired, bontires were lit, | belis were rung, torchlight processions were had | and the white people fairly ran mad with delight at the prospect of relief from negro rule. The effect upon business was immediately felt, and a briskness in trade, such as has uot been evinced since the war, resulted. When, therefore, the people of Petersburg heard with dismay <hat Gov- ernor Kemper had vetoed the biil their JOY WAS CHANGED TO SORROW AND DISMAY, Business was suspended througuout the entire city, and never since Geueral Grant’s victorious battalions passed through the streets, pursuing | Lee’s broken and shattered columas, did such universal mourning prevail in the Cockade City. ‘this was soon ijoliowea by the strongest evidences oj popular indignation, and it was with great dim. | culty that the most sober mindea citizens could pre- vent, jor the time being, the white people trom burning Governor Kemper in effigy upon the streets. The two papers of that city were filled with the most severe criticisms of the Governor’s action, especially in view of the tact that a Peters- burger had nominated him in convention, and, farther, that Petersourg had given tum a larger vote than any other candidate bad ever received | there. BURNING OF GOVERNOR KEMPER IN EFFIGY. A local paper of Petersburg says it Was thought in that city when the news of the veto came that | an excursion of citizens should be organized tor the purpose Of visiting Richmond and appealing to the conservative members of the Senate to stand by them in this trying exigency. This plan, however, was abandoned as impracticable, and all resigned themselves to that despair which pre- ared them for the last act in the tragedy of Peters- burg’s immolation. About five o’ciock the bulletins announced that the veto had been sustained by a By a misconstruction 1t became was necessary to have passed the bill over the veto. This attracted to the newspaper offices and other public places large groups eager to ascertain ii at least some spark 01 hope remained, The ar- rival of the maii from Richmond, however, settled all douvt, and showed that the vote was 25 jor sustaming the veto and 18 for defeating it. Counsels of moderation and lorbearance no longer prevatied to restrain the wild impulses of tne betrayed citizens of Petersburg, and accordingly a party organized themselves for the purpose of testifying to the of Governor Kemper’s action, Acting upon this impulse an efigy was constructed, formally desig- nated as Governor Kemper, and labeuied as fol- lows :— APO EEAO RELI OL IOLE EE DEDIDEDDLODEDE DED DOLE SEDE.

RECONSIDERATION OF THE BILL. ‘The Senate, the body in which the bill originated, on Friday proceeded to tue consideration of the bill and veto, the question being, Shall the bill pass notwithstanding the objections of the Governor ? | Upon this there ensued one of the most exciting aud portentous debates that has ever taken place Bin the readinission of the State into the Union. ‘Ihe iricnds of the bill charged | that Governor Kemper, in bis recent visit to Gen- eral Grant at Washington, which is said to have been arranged by the political guerilla, Colonel John S. Mosby, slated to the President that the parties in this country were In a chaotic condition; that poth were fast disintegrating, and that the conserva. tive party as it existed In Virginia was the only political organization that possessed strengto anu endurance, HINTS OF CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE CHIVALRY, It was turther tinted that Kemper offered his Support to Grant for a third term, and that it was arranged that Kemper was to have the second + & place on the national conservative ticket for the third term in the anticipated break-up of the present political parties, State Senator Hundley said to-day that General Grant asked in this con- versation with Kemper, “What about the Peters- burg = chaitery’ the Senator, coutinuing, said he did not know what Kemper’s response was, nor did he care, but while the conservative mem- ‘8 OF the Legisiature and the white peopie of Petersuurg Were resting in the security that the charter would receive Kemper’s approval, a re- publican Congressman from Virgina had stated upon the floor of the House of Repre- sentatives that he bad assurances that Gov- eruor Kemper would veto the bill The expressed—i not in words, certainly by ton—that Governor Kemper had been so d by General Grant during his late visit as to be whiling to disrupt the conservative party, cistegard the will of the conservative members of the Legislature and sacrifice the people of Peters. burg to his personal Scnpisios) and (or the sake of Jeveral Grant's approval. 2 The friends of the bill also attacked the Governor npon the improper exercise of the veto power, because le gave no clear constitutional objections | against the bit, out opposed it solely upon grounds | of expediency, of which they contended they were | the best judges. On the other hand, the opponents ot the bill and the iriends oj Governor Kemper con. tended that the Governor's recent visit to Presi- | to-day | lar idea belongs, | permission _ ommended its passage. | however, the pistol did not explode, | a large builet, and was tully loaded and capped. dent Grant Dore no political significance whatever that their interview w: personal aud brtiryt | oe ane onl dentally were politics matter of conversation. They admit that Kemper remarked that political parties were in a chaotic fandition, and hat they were breaking to pleces tke floes of ice, and that the only hope for the country was in an organization similar to the Genstat uve Wy od Virginia, Whether ene} rant Appfoved or disapproved of this geaclusion Was not stated by Governor Kemper’s riends, but they did say that it was Governor emper’s conviction, from his conversation with esident Grant, that (rom alt the information that had come to his knowledge the Presideut had no as- pirations fora third term. These gentlemen insisted that Governor Kemper had impartia/ly performed his duty as the Executive of Virginia in vetoing the bill, because it Was tn violation of that great instrument which inspired the colonies in their seven years’ War against Great Britain; that tne Peta lahey- Leena of the Virginia bill of rights which claims for al 0 local self-government, Ra SAP a heRh or SUSTAINING THE GOVERNOR'S VETO. All the moral, legal and constitutional phases of the bill having been fally and thoroughly discussed, a vote was taken and the Governor's veto was sustained by 25 to 13, Of those who voted to sus- tain the Governor nine were republicans and six- teen were conservatives, Of those who voted to ass the bill Over the veto all were conservatives, This vote sounds the death knell of this bil, and the douse of Delegates, which would undoubtedly vote to override the veto, will be denied the oppor- tunity of passing upon it. ACCUSED OF COLLUSION WITH PRESIDENT GRANT, « ‘The conservative press of the State is almost unanimous in its denunciation of the Governor's course, 2nd notwithstanding the many explana- tions of Governor Kemper’s trends. the people and the press will not believe that the interview with General Grant did not have the effect of alienating him from the constituency that placed hin in the executive chatr of Virginia by such am unpre edented majority, Active enemies of Kem. per are at work disseminating the bea that there 1s a collusion between him and Genera! Grant, and the end is not yet. Reception of the Veto in Washington A Change in Southern Politics Fore= shadowed, WASHINGTON, March 15, 1874, Governor Kemper’s message to the Legislature of Virginia, vetoing the Petersourg charter, was received by every member of both houses of Congress by mail, with the Governor's. compliments, The opinion is generally felt and ex- pressed here that this message is the initial fruit of a new departure in Southern politics, and is an earnest tothe country that the reconstruction measures are to be carried out in good faith by Governor Kemper even though that course of action on his part should lend to an entire re- casting of parties in the South, with the strong preponderance ol the real white leaders in iavor of the administration: of President Grant and against the rule or ruin policy which has thus far kept the native Southern men in the back ground and retarded social, financial and politica) progress in that section. THE CHEAP ‘TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM. : onbinetion of the Railroads in Jersey to Crush the Peopie’s Line=A New Canal to Philadelphia. A most formidable coalition of railroad com- pantes is now being effected at Philadelphia and ‘Trenton to render if possible the scheme of the People’s Air Line, trom New York to Philadelphia, inoperative. Several weeks ago the outline of a new scheme was published in the HERALD, The | main features of the plan have since been adopted by Mr. Kastman in the New York Legislature, but to a prominent Jerseymen the credit of conceiving this new popu- The directors of the new line. comprise many of the leading business and raul- road men in New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl- vania, among them being an ex-President of the Erie Railway. The surveys are being rapidly pushed forward, so rapidiy that Tom Scott is: becoming alarmed. He has applied to the Jersey Legisiature tor an increase of capital of $5,000,000 under the innocent guise o/ “Tie New Jersey Wharf and Guaranty Company.” At the same time the New Jersey Centrai have applied for to increase their capital stock $10,000,000, An alhance, offensive and defensive, has been proposed to Mr, Garrett, of the Balti- more and vhio Railroad; but that gentieman re- fused On the ground that the Peopic’s Air line will secure more advantages to his line. The opponents of monopoly have struck still another blow for free competition. A bill silt el rating the New Jersey Ship Canal Company, witha capital of $4,000,000, is now before the Legislature, with the following incorporators:—Ex-Governor Koaman M.
