8 CENTENKIAL CHESS CONGRESS, ARE ADEQUATE PREPARATIONS BEING MADE For 1? The first American Chess Congress, held in this city in 1857, not only demonstrated how widespread throughout our country was the interest im this fas- inating game, but first made known to the world the prowess of the wondrous boy who subsequently over- threw the veteran players of Europe in their own capitals and who bas since so strangely retired from the chess world, His career, though brief and meteor- like, created such a furore for the game that the num- ber of poor players was soon legion and the number of good ones sensibly increased. Despite the speedy re- Lrement from the field of those who soon learned that their ambition exceeded their capacity the cause of chess in America was undoubtedly greatly aided by the Congress of 1867, Since that period the large German immigration has brought hither a large number of fair, if not first rate, players, and there, with Mr. McKenzie and others from ‘the fast anchored isle,” added to several rising young American players, make an array of strength by no means to be despised. Mr. Bird has expressed himself as surprised at the number of strong players he has met witht here, and has even intimated that they might still further surprise some of his London compeers who are in the habit of regarding themselves so highly. The last National Chess Congress of America was held in Chicago, in the summer of 1874, and was hot an affair of much magnitude or importance, save that it left as a legacy what is likely to cause most annoying jealousies and confusions. The gentlemen there assem- bled formed an ‘American Chess Association,” after the fashion of those that exist in England and other Evropean countries, for the purpose of holding regular conventions, national tournaments, &c., and particularly for the purpose of holding in Philadelphia, during the Centennial Exhibition, @ grand international chess congress, with prizes suiticiently large to tempt the leading European players, and to eclipse the great and successful tournaments at London in 1861 and 1862, at Paris in 1867, and at Vienna in 1873. tainly good, and the gentlemen assembled in Chicago | immediately after having taken the resolution BEGAN TO WORK PRACTICALLY toward a realization of their ideas by electing an execu- tive committee, and leaving in its hands all turtner pe and initiative before they left for their homes. ‘hey elected as president of the Executive Committee a gentleman of doubtless estimable personal qualities, but altogether unknown as a chess player, and sadly jacking, as it appears, in the ev for the office that he holds If have been any public appeals for subscriptions they have not found their way to the chess players of America; so faras the writer can ascertain, no lists of contributors or amounts contributed have been made public, nor has there even been enough publicity e'ven to the movement to enable a person desiring to acd tothe fund—it there is any fand—to find out to whom or where to send the money. The most | ordinary means have been neglected, apparently. One | of the most obvious means of giving publicity to the | movement has been totally ignored, In all sections of | the Union there are journals that devote a portion of | their space to chess weekly. In every one of these | sheets, which reach all those interested in the game in their vicinity, there should have been standing notices requesting donations for the prizes to be given at the | Centennial Congress, and stating to what person and place they should be sent. The apathy thus far exhibited threatens to ruin altogether the project so brilliantly conceived, and is as far from the usually | received conception ‘of American energy as can well be | imagined, Editors ot the various chess columns in this | and other cities are either silent on the subject or | speck of the futgre prospect in most discouraging wnes, The Philadelphia Chess Club openly refuses to sub- mit to the authority of the American Chess Associa- | tion as it is now officered, and the action of the club is worthy of all attention, tt being the largest, most mflu- ential and wealthiest association of the kind in | America,and hardly second to the famous St. George’s, | of London, which numbers Cabinet Ministers among its members. The Puiiadelphia Chess Club, moreover, has | pledged itself financially to a most liberal amount,’and | deserves the most cordial co-operation in its efforts to render the proposed Centennial Chess Congress a suc- | cess, The St. Louis Chess Club joins most decidedly | with the Philadelphia organization in its views on the | matter, and the Boston Chess Club is understood to coincide with them. The PROMINENT CHESS COTERIES OF AMERICA should at once enter into correspondence with the Phila- | delpbia club and take measures to assist it to the extent | of their ability, Not unly their members, but the nu- | merous provincial amateurs, who reside in towns too fmall (o maintain regular clabs, should be appealed to for assistance and the result be widely and promptly thronicled, that native and foreign players may learn the prospects of success. As a people Americans are proverbially liberal, and there is scarcely any doubt that the appeal would be heartily responded to. It has | been recommended, and the recommendation is worthy | pf attention, that an Executive Committee be ap- | pointed, consisung of four or more members of the Wealthy and influential members of the Philadelphia | Chess Club and one each from the other clubs in the Union, which committee should confer as speedily as | possible, aud, after arranging a programme for the | foming’ Centennial Chess Congress, publish | the results of their deliteratiou¥~ abroad | and at home. Much interest 1s already | manifested in England aad on the Continent of Europe | voncerning the method, and itis only common cour- vesy, not to say honesty, that foreign players sbould | Know just what to expect. A voyage of 4,000 miles, | with its attendant discomforts and expenses, is no | inifle to undertake, even with the prospect in case of | success of a partial or total remuneration tor time lost | and money expended. It is quite probable that somo of the visitors would return with nothing but an tlarged experience and whatever pleasure they had | ferived from the trip and the sojourn among ns. It is to be hoped that the visit which Mr. Bird pro- poses to pay to Philadelphia soon will not be altogether darren of results. He is a gentieman who has had tonsiderable experience in America and with Amer- ans, and is well fitted to judge concerning the proba- vilities of the Congress turming out a success or a kilura. The “distinguished foreign players who have avinced a desire to pay us a visit next year look to him with much interest for a report on the advisability of undertaking the journey, and will doubtless act upon the advice of one so competent to judge. It will re- dound much to the honor of American chess and the eredit of American chess players, if bis report be fa- vorable. | BIRD AGAENST MASON. ‘The match between Messrs.

SPORTING NOTES. Avwriter in Beli'’s Life sayt:—A day should be set aside tor trotting. Why should uvt ladies and gentie- men be allowed to see 80 great @ treat as a four mile trot (in heats, if you like) in good company? With en- couragement in afew generations our trotters might rival the Americans, and it would be the fashionable thing to see, as the Derby ts at present. Bell's Life of the 11th inst., im answer to several | questions in regard to pedestrian performances says:— “Correspondents are informed that the fastest times in which a mile has been ron are 4m. 28, by W. Lang, down bill, at Newmarket; and 4m. 17%", by W. Lang and W. Richards, on level ground, in their dead beat at the Royal Oak Park Grounds, Manchester.

JOY AND SADNESS MINGLING-—REV. MR. CHENEY TO SATL FOR INDIA NEXT SATURDAY. Avery pleasant entertainment was given last night in old John street Methodist Episcopal church, where the Christmas festivities were blended with a musical and oratorica] programme, for which persons not con- nected with the Sunday schoo) had to pay. Had the evening been more propitious the audience would have been larger, for this venerable parent of American Methodism has still many friends in New York. Tne church was very tastefully bung with evergreens, and a temporary stage was erected over the pulpit, whereon were seated the pupils of the school to the number of about 100, This is the ordimary attendance of children in the school, and considering the location and the ever changing character of the population, it indicates considerable interest to keep alive aschool of that number in that place, In the tront centre of this platform stood a triumphal arch or cauopy of evergreens, beneath which the young orators and musical misses delivered themselves ot speech and song. Near by also rested a few baskets of candies and oranges, which were distributed to the children as A seed off at the close of the evening exercises, J. W. Dikeman directed the musical part of the entertainment and Miss Jennie Baylis _pre- sided at the piano. The school sang half a dozen choruses very well, and the coon address was delivered by Master Henry Holmes, lenrietta and Kate Kollmar, Lizzie Torrey, and other misses recited humorous pieces, The “Dead Doll’? wag among the most interesting and laughable of them. The boys ¢1 gaged in dialogues and recitations, and some of the irls sang solos and duets very sweetly and pleasantl; ‘he entertainment was altogether abome talent affair, and as such was deserving of praise. Mr. R. S. Tait, the superintendent of the school, was, of course, de- lighted with the efforts of brs pupils, Buta shade of sadness entered into the evoning’s proceedings. The pastor of the church, Rev. N. G Cheney, looked upon his flock and their children prob- ably for the last time. Next Saturday morning, from ier 52 North River, he will bid adieu for awhile, 1f not forever, to this city and country, He goes out as a missionary to Nynee Tal, India, This fuct gave point and pathos to his remarks last night and to those of his official brethren and friends in John street, among whom he has gone in and out ere for nearly three years. In view of nis near departure the brethren last night presented bim with a purse of money to cheer him and to remind him that they did not forget him and were not ungrate- ful for his pastoral labors among them. Adieus were exchanged on both sides, and with saddened hearts and tearful eyes many of those present took their pastor’s hand and wished him Godspeed in his journey and the blessing of the Highest to follow his ministry among the heathen. Prayersand good wishes will follow Mr. Cheney to his mission feld, and will not leave him there THE COLORED HOME. To-morrow, at two P. M., the Christmas festival at the Colored Home, in Sixty-fi{th street, near First ave- nue, will take place. Addresses will be made on the occasion by the Rev. Mr. Kerr and the Rev, Mr. Min- gins.

Seen pape ny Mannering.”” A CARD FROM PRESIDENT ADAMS—-HIS ANSWER TO THE CHARGES AGAINST THE MANAGEMENT, To THE EpiTor or THE HERALD: ‘The directors of the New York Institution for the In- struction of the Deaf and Dumb have been greatly pained, not on their own account, but because of the many families to which their pupils belong, by the cruel and malicious statements which have recently ap- peared in some quarters relative to the condition and Management of the institution. In justice to these families and for the purpose of allaying their apprehen- tion they deem it right to simply state the following facts :— Some six weeks ago several cases of typhoid fever appeared among the children. These were instantly seeeetea tp eveewret wu wb HUSpital building on our premises and most tenderly cared for, Thirty-five cases, out of a total numbér of 535 pupils have oc- curred, nearly all of a very mild type, yielding promptly to medical treatment. Thirteen are now in the hospital with every prospect of speedy recovery; the others, save three who have died, have so far recovered as to be discharged from the hos- pital and returned to the Institution. The three cases in which death epsued were each and all aggra- vated and complicated by other dangerous diseases— viz., pneumonia, erysipelas and abscese of the liver, Immediately on the outbreak of the disease the Board of Health was notified and requested to give their offi- cial aid and counsel. Upon visiting the premises they have pronounced the sewerage, drainage, and indeed all the appliances of the Institution, to be in perfect order, The best medical counse} has been employe and every officer of the Institution and of the Board ol Directors has been unremitting in his personal exer- tions. The Board of Directors will gladly receive any sugges- tions which look to a better security and care of the unfortunates committed to their hands, many of whom {tis bat rightto remember are diseased from their birth, and mostof whom, in comparison with other children, may be said to be in that depressed condition of constitution which renders them egpecially liable to all epidemics, It is impossible in so large au institution and among so sickly aclass of children to insure abso- lute immunity from disease, but every effort that skill, foresight and liberality can suggest is made to that end, and the Board of Directors assure all interested in the institution that in the present emergency all bas been done, and will be done, that kindness, personal atten- tion and Lace 4 can perform. They are glad to be able to add that there is reason to suppose that the epi- demic has been finally checked. WILLIAM ADAMS, President, Tratcner M. Avams, Secretary. New Yorn, Dec. 28, 1875.

DRAWING NEAR THE CLOSE OF THE FIRST CHAPTER—ARGUMENT OF MR, VAN PELT IN FAVOR OF THE CLAIMANT. The Surrogate Court at White Plains, Westchester county, was again crowded yesterday by men repre- senting nearly every branch of tho learned and un- learned professions. Many of these had travelled long distances for the purpose of hearing the argument of counsel for the contestant in the Singer will ease, As though she would refute the charge of social ostracism made interentially against her by ex-Judge Porter during his argument on Monday, Mrs. Foster (the claimant) was accompanied by six or eight of her lady relatives and friends, a coterie of which she formed the centre, appearing radiant in fashionable ature, Mr. R, W. Van Pelt, counsel for the claimant, com- menced his lengthy and exhaustive argument by a graphic description of the early life of his client, the manner in which Isaac M. Singer formed hor acquaintance in 1836, and how, under false representations, he won her youthful confidence and love when she was but eighteen years of age. He told how the testator, who was then a married man, had de- ceived this trusting young girl and her parents by giv- ing them to understand that he was single, and how he at length succeeded in inducing her to meet him in New York, when they would be married. She, not doubting his impassioned protestations of love for her, did a3 he directed, but, on arriving at the city named, after travelling from the home of her parents in Baltimore, she learned from Singer thata ceremonial marriage at that immediate time was impossible, Without telling herthat he was then debarred by law from tulfilling his promise to lead her to the altar he informed her that he was in trouble about another woman, and as ‘soon as he could extricate himself therefrom he would at once have the marriage ceremony performed between them. His specious pleading prevailed over her timid apprehensions of impropriety in the ste) which he, who was many years her senior, proposed, and she consented to be a wife to him, “with all that term implies.”’ From 1836 to 1860 they lived as man and wife and had ten children born to them. The first fifteen years of their married lite was spent in abject poverty. She shared his troubles, and it was her sus- taining arm that often kept him irom fainting by the wayside, NONE COVETED HER DOWRY when it was composed of misery, wretchedness and destitution, No one wanted her rags. But when he became rich, as by the suddenness of magic, the de- voted wife, the kind mother and the participator in bis dark misfortunes was to be transformed into a mistress AS a wife i was good enough for the pauper, but when this pauper becomes a millionnaire he must not only have a mistress, but numerous mistresses, with whom he was wont to drive out in almost regal — nearly every hour in the day, At his home and to the outside world he appeared to be the faithful husband and the moral man, while in secret he literally rioted in lust. He at length carried his licentious practices be- yond all bounds of decency, and when the indignant and outraged companion of his obscure days separated herself from him and instituted a suit for divorce, he went to Europe with one of his mistresses and finally brought a young woman from that country back to New York, where he publicly married her, Previous to this, however, the claimant had in the divorce suit been granted counsel fees and the largest amount of alimony ever ordered by any Court in this State. Singer effected a compromise by agreeing to give the claimant a furnished house in Twenty-eighth street, New York, and a life allowance of $50 per week on her promising not further to stir up the scandalous reyela- tions threatened by the suit mentioned. She, how- ever, was to be allowed to prosecute the cage to a suc- cessful issue, or, in other words, to the securing of a decree of ‘divorce, it being _ stipulated that he would not prevent her from doing 4&0. ‘This agreement wasentered into for the sake of their children, She had paid -her lawyer to obtain the de- cree indicated, and he afterward deceived her by tell- ing her he had procured it and that she was at liberty to marry if she so chose. On this representation she married Foster in Boston, and under her maiden name of Sponsler, Had her lawyer performed his duty and cuainee the decree of divorce she could never have THE FINGER OF SCORN POINTED ather as a concubine and a bigamist. Immediately after her marriage with Foster had been discovered b Singer and his satellites he wrested from her debvin 4 fraud and collusion the agreement before mentioned, e still retained the deed of the house in which she was with her infant children already domiciled, he turned herself and little ones into the street, allowing her to take nothing out of the house excepting her clothes. Singer, after remarrying, himecif, in 1863, spat upon his country, which was no longer good enough for the imperial Cwsar which he had grown to be, and went to England, there to found a ‘now race of Singers, ‘which, he doubtless hoped, would be able to mingle with the proudest on Albion’s soil Under the law of New York the fact of marriage ey requires the consent of qualified purties to live together as man and wife, this promise to take each other being followed by cobabita- bag oe holding former gee up before the world hovlyg na wife. counsel r_gide, which in- BRL g iat bhgn rvest of the law ite ohaties O Gonos, with all their ingenuity, and with $30,000,000 at their command, could not find in the State of New York, in the United States, or in the whole world, one wit- ness who could be induced to swear that in his or her opinion Singer and the claimant did not appear to live together as man and wife, or to say aught against her as a chaste wife and an affectionate mother. The above is but a bare synopsis of the argument which consumed nearly five hours in its delivery. Mr, Van Pelt had not concluded at the time of adjousnment ‘and will resume this morning. CAPTAIN SILAS B. GREE NMAN, FUNERAL RITES IN HONOR OF THE MEMORY OF THE LATE COMMANDER OF THE CITY OF WACO—HIS LIFE AND CHARACTER. Wesrenty, R. I., Dec, 28, 1875. A memorial service was held in this town yesterday in honor of the late Captain Silas B, Greenman, captain of the ill-fated steamer City of Waco, which was re- cently burned off Galveston bar. The 107th psalm, 23-80 verses were read—'Thoy that go down to the sea in ships,” &c, Tne memorial sermon was delivered by Rey. G. E. Tomlinson, and was listened to with strict attention. Following the sermon the reverend gentle man gave a brief sketch of Captain Greenman’s lifo, which will be of interest to many readers of the Hxratp, He was born in Mystic, Conn., Sep. tember 16, 1833, and when an infant removed to this village. Atthe early age of sixteen he made his first voyage to Texas In the schooner Hazard. In 1854 he took command ot the brig Lavaca Two years later this vessel was dismasted in a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, For forty-eight hours he and his crew were without anything to eat and were obliged to re- main lashed to the vessel in order to keep from bein washed overboard. The storm being over the vess was taken into Pensacola for repairs, and on the home- ward voyage she leaked so badly that the crew were kept continually at the pumps. When near Charleston they hoisted a signal of distress, seeing a vessel a few miles distant. The wind, however, suddenly changed and the signal was taken down and the vessel reached Delaware Breakwater in safety. Soon after arriving there she was frozen in, and desiring to reach New York, ho walked ashore on the ice and thence proceeded to New York and secured a tug which extricated bis vessel, and in February, 1857, he reached his destination In the fall of 1860 he took out a cargo from Boston for Mobile. During the progress of the civil war he cruised to several ports in Europe and Asia, While re- turning from Buriah he encountered a severe northeast e off the Cape of Good Hope, which lasted several lays, and during that time neither he nor his crew had any dry clothing or a dry place to sleep in, An idea of the severity of that storm may be ascertained when it is taken into consideration that, out of the thirteen ships that left Akyab at that time, only two besides the one Captain Greenman com- manded, survived and rounded the Cape. In 1863 Captain Greenman was in charge of the Gov- | ervor Buckingham, and was ordered to search for the rebel cruiser Tacony, and he continued in the service of the government until the close of the civil war, Threo years Inter, on’ New Year's Day, his brother, Charles Greenman, was lost, with the steamship Constitution, After this affliction, upon the advice of his family, ho ‘was induced to remain at home for a while; but’ the land was no place for him, and so, in 1868, he again took command of a sbip, and was engaged, until the close of the year 1973, in the New York, Galveston and Liverpool trade. He next assumed the duties as captain of the new steamor City of Waco. Last September, as many of the readers of the Herat will recollect, his ship was driven on the Florida reefs with a cargo worth upward of $500,000. By his perseverance and adaptability to his business he saved his cargo from the wreckers and delivered it in an undamaged condition and without the loves of a single package, For this be received due praise from his employers, His next voyage proved to be his last, He arrived with the City of Waco on the 6th of last month off Galveston and soon after the vessel was in flames, and not one survivor remains to tell the tale of that mem- orable disaster. ‘The minister closed his address by paying a fitting tribute to his moral and religious character. His strength of friendshipwhich he inspired in others was fully illustrated in all the loving episties which he sent to his wife. He also alluded to t et that Captain Wolfe, of Mystic, Conn., who also perished on board the City of Waco, went out as pilot of the latter when it was not his torn vo go in order to be m his friend, Captain Greenman, for whom he had formed a lasting friendship. , AN EMBARRASSED CONTRACTOR. Mr. Nevin, a contractor, recently employed a large number of laborers on the Bull’s Ferry road, New Jer- sey, but was unable to pay them their wages, Yoster- day some of the unfortunate men obtained an attach- ment agninst Mr. Nevin's horses and carts, and soized several of the animals and vehicles for a claim of $34 which they bad placed in the bands of the Sheri THE COAL MARKET. AMONG THE DEALERS IN BLACK DIAMONDS. AS current rumors suggested combinations of the leading coal companies and @ conspiracy against the families of New York, a Henao correspondent made inquiries which would tend to fix upon the guilty men & just odium, or, if innocent, relieve the great coal car- rying organizations from the charges of tastenjng on the poor consumers undue burdens. 1¢ was asserted that the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Com- pany was the head of THE COAL MONOPOLY, and that the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, as well as the Delaware and Hudson Canal companies, were aiders and abettors of this giant oppression which would strike at the hearthstones of every man in New York and compel obedience to the pending negotia- tions, The first visit was to a retail dealer in avenue A, near the East River, where something like the iol- lowing conversation occurred :— Rerorren—What is the price of coal? DeaLeR—Seven dollars and fifty cents per ton, Reronten—Is this avy higher than last year ? DuaLen—No. Revortex—I am told you are governed by the com- bination. Dsacer—What combination, Revorrer—The Reading Railroad. Dxaver—Oh, no. We get our supplies by simply send- ing down orders to thé large companies, and as far as we can understand they are all sending on an equitable basis to this 5 Rerorrer—Why is it that certain seasons your sup- plies are cut short—when you most need ordinary qualities of coal to fill the orders ot your customers— and at other times the yards are glutted with coal for which you have no demand ? Deater—I have no means of knowing. I believe, however, that our trade is much more regular and satis- factory from being governed by the law of supply and demand, as supervised by the managers of the large mining associations. For instance, in old times, if we there was a strike in the coal region tho retail dealers would put up the prices say $1 per ton, whereas. now, when we understand that the great combining companies conld and would supply us, and our neigh= bors as well, there would be no difference in the price of coal im our yards, Rwrorter—You, therefore, consider it a good thing that there should be some supervising agency in regu- lating your pe as well as supplies? DxaLer—Undoubdtedly. Formerly an unscrapulous trader would buy a lot of chestnut or stove coal of a dirty,.coft or inferior quality and advertise it as Lehigh or superior white or red asb coal ata price far below what we could sell a good article for. Now such a trick ig scarcely possible, for nut or pea coal is charged the same price for carriage as the stove size. In pursuance of the Heraup investigations in regard to this subject, Mr. Quintard was visited. This gentle- man said that, although he represented the Philadel- phi and Reading Coal and Iron Company, he did not wish to be quoted as speaking authoritatively, yet he had no hesitation in saying that the combination of the coal companies was one of the wisest measures that had ever been adopted. In the first place, a glut had been avoided in the principal markets, and while this pre- vented an undue depression in prices, it had also pre- cluded speculators from seizing upon any sensational rumors as to strikes, &c., and charging consumers PANIC PRICES FOR COAL SUPPLIES. Another gentleman, intimately associated with the coal trade, said that the miners’ strike had cost them millions of dollars this year, and that the day was not far distant when the trades unions would recognize ‘that their leaders were their foes, Mr. Samuel Sloan, President of the Delaware, Lacka- wanna and Western Railway, was visited, and, while confirming all the above views, he remarked that the Cumberland coal from West Virginia and the semi- bituminous coal from Pennsylvania would eventually compel the great companies to put down their prices, even if the equitable teudency was otherwise, THE MISSOURI PACIFICO RAILROAD. A meeting of the stockholders of the Missouri Pacific Railroad was held yesterday afternoon in the Drexel Building, Mayor Britton, of St. Louis, who presided, called the meeting to order at noon, Mr. N. A. Cow- droy, chairman of the Bondholders’ Committee, offered the following resolution :-— Resolved, That the chairman be requested to ask each of the directors present whether or not tuey will abide by and comply with the action of this meeting when expressed by « stock vote. . Mr. Baker said that the resolution was insulting to the directors, and if it should be adopted he threatened to leave the room. The other directors present signi- fied their intention of leaving unless more courtesy was shown them. Mr. Bowman then brought forward some charges against the directors, and said he was prepared to sistain thein. He exhibited the _ testi- mony of Mr. Baker before the Missouri courts, and bad commenced to read it, when the latter gentleman jumped up and attempted to in- terrupt him, He was ruled out of order by the chair. Mr. Bowman went on with his charges, saying that the directors had tried to foreclose the mortgage of the stockholders. Two or three more stormy scenes fol- lowed these charges, atter which General Clinton B, Fisk was allowed to read the report. This report showed the comparative condition of the road at the time of the lease and at the time it went into the hands of the receiver. Mr. Fisk, after reading the report, thanked all present for their kindness and attention, facetiously concluding with ¢he woras, ‘Behold how good it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.’” Mr, Cowdrey then asked some questions regardi the management and condition of the road, to whic Mr. Baker replied in detail, consuming the rest of the afternoon, The meeting finally adjourned until noon lay. THE SEIZURE ROOM. Acase of spirits, marked H. S., imported by Jose Zeitenger, ex the Wieland, from Hamburg, was re- | ceived at the Custom House seizure room yesterday evening from the public store, corner Laight and Wash- ington streets, for being in an illegal package. The owuer probably will be fined the amount of the duty, and the package will be released—which is a charitable construction of the law against illegal packrges. Four- teen gallons spirits is the lowest legal sized package, while not less than 3,000 cigars form a legal importa- tion, A DISPUTED GAS BILL. There is considerable excitement among the taxpayers of Edgewater, Staten Island, in regard to the action of the Board of Supervisors in allowing the Clifton Gas Company $9,000 on un old contract made five years ago for lighting the street lamps, after the Court of Appeals have decided against the company. The original bill was about $6,000 and the new Board of Supervisors passed it, with interest added, making the amount $9,000. It is understood that the Oounty Treasurer will not turnish the money on the vouchers issued by the Board. WORK FOR THE CORONERS.
