10 THE INSOLVENT CITY. Partial Repudiation Advoeated by the Common Couneil of Elizabeth. WHAT COMPTROLLER LEGGETT SAYS. —_+—__—_ Denial of the Statement that the Debt Is Held by Rich Corporations. ‘The bankrupt city of Elizabeth, N.J., presented a most sorrowful picture yesterday, it being the first business day after the Corporation had officially de- clared itself unable to pay even the smallest portions of its debt. Policemen hung listlessly around the railroad station, teachers waiked carelessly to the public schools, and even the fow city officials en- gaged around the City Hall when urged to give some information had an air about them as if they thought that every moment they spent in the city’s service was so much time lost. The case was different, however, with several ladies, some of them quite aged, who made their way to the Comptroller's office. They were, in fact, the principal visitors to the city departments, and were anxious to ascertain what prospect there was for them to get some por- tion of the money due their husbands or sons, 80 long employed in the city government, Quite a number of them also were actual bondholders. ‘A report having been circulated that the bondhold- ers had already instituted proceedings against the city, a'reporter of the Hrraup called upon Mr. Leg- gett, the Comptroller, in regard to this, and in reply to the reporter's inquiries he said:—“Up to tnis mo- mient I have not heard of any such proceedings, I am only in receipt of a letter from Mr. Rolston, pres- ident of the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company, our financial agents in New York, and in the course of. his leter he writes:— **You bay y sympathies. You have strugeiee. nobly prevent this disgrace, which, let me sa} t, but upon those only who have Jou down.’ ” “After reading this extract the Comptroller addea that in so far as the principal creditors were residing im New York he hoped the Hrraup and other jour- nals would impress upon the City Council of Eliza- ‘eth the importance of organizing at once. “I can- not do anything,”’ added Mr. Leggett, “without their approbation. They are now unorganized, have not elected a president, and, as executive officer, I can do nothing without their mandate. Please correct, how- ever, one important statement which has gone the rounds of the press, and that is that the Equitable Life Assurance Company owns $1,500,000 of our bonds. To my knowledge they do not hold any of our bonds.” “Who, then, holds the $1,500,000 erroneously attri- ted to this company?” asked the reporter. “Ayo, there's just Where the suffering comes in,” replied'the Comptroller. ‘They are heid all the wa; pws Maine to Georgia by widows, orphans an others.” This being a partial cxplanation for the appearance of ladies in mourning aud downcast women makin, their way to the secret recesses of the Elibabet! Finance Department, the reporter conversed with several leading citizens on the subject, all of whom were astonished to hear that the Equitable Life owned no more Elizabeth city bonds. “They must have unloaded in time,” said an ex- member of the Assembly. “And why should they not ?”" said a member of the City Council. ‘They have been well posted as to af- fairs in Etizubeth. As to where the bonds went to, that is very difficult to say, but the Comptroller no doubt is right when he says they can be found all the way from Maine to Georgia. It is a common rumor here, also, that our City Hall has been a sort ot broker’s office for some time back where certain parties have purchased city bonds whenever they could optain them ut prices ranging from ten to forty cents below parand then redeemed them at par at the City ‘Treasury ‘ DEPLORABLE LOSSES, Whatever truth there may be in these reports of city officials flourishing while the city of Elizabeth ‘was actually going to financial ruin, there can be no doubt of cases like the following, showing actual sut- tering, which were the common talk of Elizabeth yesterday:—A young woman about twenty-seven years of age, having been ten years principal of the primary department in a public school, pot baving received a dollar of salary since October last went to the Elizabethtown Savings Bank to draw ome of Ler savings for actual and necessary expen- ditures, when the»bank, where she had all of her savings, had just closed its doors, owing to the fact that too many Elizabeth bonds were among its assets. “What is to be done ?’” was the question asked of a leading member of the City Council. “We can’t pay—that is my answer,” he said. “Our debt to-day is $250 on every man, woman and child in this city. We can’t pay it. We must compromise and reduce the bonds to such an extent that the cit; by an equitable taxation of two per cent and by sei ing off the debt can hold up its hed. We can po: trom thirty to forty per ceut on tie debt, that is al? and the rest inust be wiped out.” Why don’t your Council organize?” asked the re- er. Pi Because some of the members have an idea that the moment the Board organizes the bondholders ‘will get out a mandamus compelling the members of the City Council to vote for an appropriation provid- ing for the payment of the interest on these bonds, and, really, we are not in a condition to do it. The majority of the members of the City Council will, under no circumstances, vote for any interest on city bords until such a time as an equitable adjustment has been made ail around.”” MEETING OF THE SCHOOL BOARD, At the meeting of the Board of Education last evening immediately atter the Commissioners were called to order a letter was read from the City Attor- . ney in reply to the question ‘‘whether any criminal liability atiached to the Board in rate jo open the schools without an appropriation.” The Ciiy Attor- pwd writes that the case of the State versus Halstead ng appealed to the Court of Errors, the decision not having been published, he prefers not to give an opinion for the present. ‘ After the reading ot this communication Mr. Cor- ‘Din moved that the Board yo into secret session. Commissioner Egenolt objected. Whatever was Deing done, he said, should be open and above board; he did not desire to shut ont the public. If the public schoois must be closed the people should know it at once. Commissioner Corbin stated that some action had to be taken by the Board that should not be turnished tothe public, and, insixting upon his motion, it was carrieu, and the Board went into secret session. At the reopening of the doors Commissioner Day moved a resolution that the public schools of Elizabeth be closed and that no more expenditures be incurred by the Board, The resolution was laid on the table by a vote of 11 to 5. Commissioner Keppler offered @ resolution that a comnittee of three be appointed to ascertain if any @isposition of the State fuud for schools has been made different than for this purpose; whether it has been kept intact, and if needful, to consult the State authorities in regard to any diversion of the school fund; also to consult the city counsel so as to pro- cure the necessary legislation aud prevent the recur- Tence of any matters which might endanger the edu- cational interests of Elizabeth. The resolution wae adopted, and atter the appointment of the commit- tee the Board adjourned. It was rumored around the City Hall last evening that some or the Newark creditors had instituted pro- ceedings for the purpose of obtaining an attachment against the Finance Department of Elizabeth and pre- vent the payment of even the ordinary suppiy bills. The exceedingly chilly atmosphere at the City Hall was attributed to ¢ of the coal dealers, who, it mo” refused to supply the city with any more uel THE BONDS WELL SECURED, To tae Eprron or tHe Heratp:— Permit me to say that you were misinformed about the amount of Elizabeth bonds held by various par- ties. There is not an amount of two millions held b; any one corporation, and the one you name as hold- ing that amount does not hold a million. ‘he Comptroller of Elizabeth makes the debt $5,000.00, aud he says the property liable for it mounts to $25,000,000, while others, who are good dyes, say it amounts to $40,000,000, Either sum make the bonds yood, trouble seems to be, in the greed for local Oftives no attention is given to the city’s affairs, Tam able to say, furthermore, that there was no attempt made to replace the seven per cent bonds with a bond at a lower rate of interest. Such change ot bonds would require legislative action, which has not been bad or asked for. ELIZABETH TAXPAYER. ARRESTED FOR ROBBERY, William Eaton reported at the Eighth precinct sta- tion house yesterday that his shoe store, No, 323 Hudson street, had been entered by burglars and ten boxes of shoes carried therefrom. Sergeant Knight and Officer Maguire were detailed to investigate the case. They found the stolen goods stowed under a stoop ot No. 71 Vandam street. At the same tune they saw two suspicious men enter an adjoining alley and take note of the officer's move- inente. The former were arrested, and while being conducted to the station house one of them broke away and made good his eseape, The remaining pritouer gave the name of Thomas Moore and his Tesidence No. 28 Laight \atreet, Subsequently De, tectives Murphy and Reynolds apprehended the prisoner who had pm from Sergeant Knight.

EXAGGERATED VIEW OF THE AMOUNT IN CIRCU- LATION—SOME MYSTERIES OF THE CBAFT—A DANGER GREATER IN APPEARANCE THAN REALITY—WORK OF THE SECRET SERVICE DIVISION, [FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. } Wasurnetos, Feb. 1, 1879. Officials of the Treasury deny the newspaper re- ports of an extensive element of bogus coin in our metallic circulating medium. The amount has been reported to be as much as $2,000,000, but the Treas- ury officials believe that $5,000 is more than the re- ality. They do not deny, however, that the resump- tion of specie payments has given new life to the almost obsolete industry in this country—namely, the counterfeiting of coin. It isa curious fact that the imitation of a coin currency is more extensively practised by dishonest men than that of a paper cir- culation, especially of late years, when the engraving of paper money has become so elaborate as to be a work of art which the counterfeiter can hope to simulate only by the acquisition of the skill of a lifetime and aconsiderable amount of capital. It is estimated, for instance, that the set of plates from which Tom Balfrd printed his famous counterfeits necessitated an expenditure of from $4,000 to $5,000 for their engraving and preparation. On general principles this sum of money would usually satisty the average man of Ballard’s rank in life by buying hima house and home, and make him content to live out his life in honest and simple labor. But the countcrfeiting of coin requires no such elaborate or costly outfit. A supply of plaster of Paris and a sct of the coins to be imitated are about all that is needed. The character of the work turned out under such circumstances is, of course, quite various, and depends upon the skill or address of the artisan, In this simple way are made most of the bogus nickels and subsidiary silver coins which occasionally trouble the public. HOW BOGUS COIN Is MADE. ‘ The genuine coin is fixed carefully in the pulp or plaster and an overlying surface is then pressed down upon it and the whole left todry. When hard the two parts of the mould are separated, the coin taken out and a hole or “gate,” as the counterfeiter terms it, drilled to the edge of the hollow space. The base metal is poured through this ‘‘gate,” and enter- ing the mould takes the shape and form of the genu- ine original. But the form is always slightly defi- cient in size, for the reason that the genuine coin is cut from cold strips of metal, whereas the counter- feit is made of molten metal which shrinks slightly as it cools, leaving it measurably smaller than the limits of the mould. This de- fect can nearly always be detected in counterfeit coins, which are made by moulds. Hence there are several patent devices giving the exact size of the genuine pieces, which at once betray the counter- feit when the latter are subjected to test with them. There are counterfeits, too which, like government work, are made with stamp and die, but in these, as in all classes of counterfeits, there is some imperfec- tion in color, lustre, weight, sound or general ap- pearance which betrays them. EXTENT OF THE BUSINESS. The counterfeiter of coin is the most troublesome to the police and detectives. His name is Legion. The cheapness of the outlay tempts him constantly to undertake the making of bad money. He can work in any ordinary room, in an ordinary house with a few ‘handfuls of plaster, a small crucible and a couple of dollars of money. Whereas the counterfeiter of paper money must have quite an establishment and run the risk of inviting suspicion of his operations. He has also to be care- ful of the company he keeps and to remain far in the background out of sight of the retail “‘shovers” who circulate the money. But the coin counterfeiter is humbler, and content with lighter returns for his enterprise. He is nuisance rather than a felon, practically at least, Like a mushroom, he is spring: ing up constantly, but like that bit of vegetation he is quickly suppressed. His pewter dimes and quar- ters are soon detected, and his occupation gone. When it is said that the coin counterfeiter’s name is Legion it is not meant that he is like the “supe” soldier of the theatre who repeats himself every few seconds in the march of the grand ariny. He is veritably numerous. The coin counterfeiter spon, Gexista from his business. He secs-that his work of art ia. not so deceptive as he thonght it would be. Taking the risk of and his failure to make money together, he gradu- ally comés to the conclusion that the game isn’t worth the candle. For reason the counterfeiter of small coins is generally a tyro. He seldom be- comes # professional. AMOUNT IN CIRCULATION. The more elaborate methods are of course more dangerous, but the injury to the community at large is greatly overestimated. Considering the vast avea of the country and the diffusion of money among the people, it seemed no extravagant estimate that a million or more of the coin currency was counterfeit. But it should be remembered that money, paper or metal, 18 always undergoing the winnowing process of a pas- sage through the banks or the hands of intelligent merchants and business men generally. The false is soon detected and relegated to harmless seclusion. How many millions of bad money might be shown were the desks and tills of retail tradesmen to give up the brassy quarters and quicksilvered haives which were taken by ignorant cierks or in the hurry of trade! Such coins are stranded in the tradesmen’s money drawer, there to rewnain as mementoes of the past. And what a curiosity shop any bank might start with similar objects, The free circulation of money is like the free circulation of the air. It clears it of its deleterious clements. THE DANGEROUS TWENTIES, The dangerous coin counterfeits referred to are such as those which were recently detected at the United States Treasury in New York. These were twenty dollar gold pieces that had passed the ordeal of the Bank of England, and were detected only when they came within the range of the optics of some of Uncle Sam's officials. They had been bored from the edge and $14 worth of gold extracted, the hole being filled up with some composition with which exact weight was made. This substitution was all the more ingenious and start- ling for the reason tbat the bar to such eccunterfeit- ing previousiy had been the lack of something heay; enough and cheap enough to take the place of gold. It was almostan axiom of the bankers that when a gold coin was the right size and exact weight it must ‘be genuine, for the reason that it would be impossi- ble to make a substitution for an extracted portion of it with anything but platinom or some composition the as or other heavy metal, dearer, commer- cially, than gold itself, weight for woight. Some nice calculations had been made in the coins referred both as to points and doubtless aiso as to what is called “the limit of tol- hag tll oc hnge Preys a wear and is measw: e age of the coin. ° SUN wich hus toed by Wek? Bok ior dha a CoPiaia percentage of its original weight is accepted at its tall weight, and is a legal tender, so to sneak, for ite face valuc at the United States Treasury in all cases, AT THE SECRET SERVICE DIVIKION. Much of the above intormation was acquired in the course of a visit to the Secret Service Division ot the Treasury, where the statistics of counterfeiting operations are recorded by Colonel Brooks with the precision attending the operations of the entire do- partment. Indeed, the apartments of the Secret Ser- vice Division are a littie treasury in themselves, A number of safes, reaching well up to the ceiling, are stored with the spoil of the raids of the Secret Service men. Piles of apparent greenbacks and national bank notes done up in bundles and labelled like the resources of the ‘Treasury itself occupy one set of these safes. In the adjoining sates are heaps of cloth, begs of apparent coin, each tied up and sealed with red sealing wax, like the contents of Uncle Sam's great cash room in another part of the building. Indeed, were some burglar to make an entrance some night into the ‘Treasury and by chance come across this “boodle” he would fancy that he had come upon the genuine treasure itself, so delusive is it in its outward seem- ing. In this curious museum of mau’s efforts to cheat his fellow man Colonel Brooks exhibits, with something of pity and pride commingled, the won- derful five hundred dollar counterfeit greenback for which Tom Ballard is now serving bis thirty years in prison, Four of the notes are all that are accounted for. A couple of these went through the banks without detection. A fourth, the one in Colonel Brooks’ collection, passed the outer portals of the United States Treasury itself, and was only detected in some of the interior offices. It is a most skilfully executed piece of work. The fact that the paper is genuifie was the occasion of much surprise until it was ascertained that Ballard had taken a gen- tune note of small denomination and by acids washed it free of ite original designs. It was the orthodoxy of the paper that so greatly helped the evil mission of the counterfeit. In this collection are aleo many bundles of the famous fives on the Traders’ National Bank of Chicago, a counterfeit so well done that the bank had to recall all its genuine notes and change the plate, RECENT ACCUMULATION, This great pile of bad money is moreover only a Gon ively recent accumulation. According to the ks of the division there was Gestroyed by maceration on the 18th and 19th of December, 1876, about $1,000,000 of paper money. This was the gath- ering of six years. At the same time there was melted up less than $1,000 of bogus coin, The de- struction included 450 sets of engraved plates and moulds, With the fall in the gold preminm a few years ago snd the emergence of coin imto Sieeniation again the coin counterteiter began to operate, nce tue books of the division show the cap- ture of $12,000 bogus coin from Jounary, 1875, to date, or twelve times the amount of th ‘ious #ix yearsof wi paper cirenin- tion. coin counterfeits are namerous and less erous as they descend the scale of deromina- tions—that is, down to the nickels—for the couuter- feit cents aud three cent pieces are such wretched things as never would deceive and are only tolerated because their inaignitcance yaad — from expulsion from the currency. larger are rarer, and when detected are em! ieee The raids of the detectives are nearly always success- ful in stopping the counterfeits re they are numerously circulated. The swindler nai ly ex- periments with a few at first, and the detection of a few of these gives the alarm and blockades the rest of his work. During the interval between December, 1876, and June, 1878, the Secret Service Division stamped the word “bad” on 22,408 pieces of counter- feit currency ot all kinds, paper and coin. Thid word is impressed upon all bogus coin, so as to secure it against the peradyenture of loss and re- issue while it is awaiting the duty of ‘evidence’ against the manufacturer, It is this intended ser- vice as ‘“evidence”’ that accounts for the long preser- vation of so much counterfeit money in Colonel Brooks’ safes, : In short, the public, in this hepoy season of payments, need: have little apprebension of suffering from counterfeit coins. & CONFLAGRATIONS. AN ALARMING FIRE IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL—ALL THE CHILDREN RESCUED. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] ‘Terre Havre, Ind., Feb. 3, 1879. At nine o'clock this morning a fire broke out in tne upper stories of public schoo! No, 4, in this city. ‘The firé was discovered by a scholar, named . Frank Pescheck, who displayed admirable presence of mind in giving an alarm instead of instantly crying fire. He went to Professor Landrum and in a whisper told him what the facts were. The school at the time contained nearly five hundred scholars, and it re- quired great prudence on the part of the teachers to prevent a panic. Afew scholars nearest the lower windows jumped out, alighting safely on the ground, but the majority, headed by the teacher, marched out to the tap of the gong and within one and half minutes after the alarm had first been given the children were safely on the outside, The Fire Department was promptly on hand, but could not get the fire under control until the roof and the up- per stories were totally destroyed. The cupola, with the large bell, fell, but, apuly, no one was injured. The cause ot the fire is unknown, but is believed to pared ‘inated Loa prepay Sale flue. ae haat uring the progress of the fire were pucked with »n excited crowd, mostly parents of the scholars. The total loss will amount to $5,000, which is fully cov- ered by insurance. BUSINESS PART OF LEE, MASS., DESTROYED—AN EPISCOPAL CHURCH AND A NEWSPAPER OFFICE BURNED. Lrg, Feb. 3, 1879. A fire commenced at noon to-day in Baird and Morey’s blocks. It burned until five o’clock, and in that time the business part of the village was de- stroyed. The Episcopal Church, a stone edifice, was also destroyed. The fire originated in a partition in the Gleaner printing office. The flames at that point were easily extinguished, but the fire spread between the floors, and in a short timo was beyond control. The wind was blowing a gale, and the buildings being of wood it was impos- sible to save them. The fire started at the northern end of Baird's Block, which was occupied by O. Root & Son, shoe dealers, who lose $2,000; Miss Monser, nzillinery and fancy goods—Loss on stock, $2,000; insured for $1,500. Perry, Hull & Co., flour dealers—Loss, $3,500; insurance, $1, 500. 8, G.To- bin, herdware—Loss on stock, $10,000; insurance, $6,000, J. C, Chaffee, clothing—Loss on stock, $5, insurance, $3.000. 8. -R. Hill, rness- imaker—Loss on stock, $3,000; insurance, $1,500. E. Wright & Co., clothing and jewelry stock—Loss, $10,000; inaurance, $5,000. Gleaner printing office— Loss, $5,000; insurance, $2,500, J. P. Wood, boots and shoes—Loss, $500; no insurance. John Banning, law office; loss slight. Adjoining Baird’s block was Morey’s block, into which the flames swept. It was occupied by B, H. Taintor, news dealer, toys and contectionery stock——loss $1,600, in- surance $1,000. G.F. Bostwick, jeweller—Loss on stock, $3,000; insurance, $1,500. Hollenbeck, boots and shoes—Stock, $5,000; 1usurance, $2,500, George K. Baird, druggist—Stock, $1,200; insurance, $7,000. 8. K. Landers, dentist—Loss, $200; no insurance. With the exception of the Gleaner office the goods were re- moved trom the stores and offices, but the stock was piled up on the sidewalk, where much was afterward Seana upon, wet with streams from the engines and damagetl in removal, so that hardly fifty per cent of it will be of any value. The J®ss on Baird's block is $20,000, and insurance $14,000; on Morey block $12,000, and insurance $9,000. Oman's block, adjoining Morey’s, on the south, was damaged about $500, ‘The occupants hastily moved out the goods, and will sustain con- siderable loss, which is, however, covered by in- surance. The rascal Church Society had $5,000 insurance on their building. The fire burned out the business part of the town— ten stores and a printing office. FIRES IN PROVIDENCE, | ProvipEncr, R, 1., Feb. 8, 1879. A fire broke out last night in some unoccupied buildings on the market wharf at Bristol, belonging to James M. Gifford, The flames spread to the tene- ment house of James McCaughnay, which, with most cits contents, was destroyed, and the stable and storehouse of Seth Paull, which were partially destroyed. Other buildings were on fire, but were saved without great damage. The loss is estimated at from $2,000 to $3,000, Miss Rebecca Timmons, a young lady residing near the scene, was frightened into convulsions and died before morning. A fire in this city at two o’clock this morning ! damaged the stock of tea and flour owned by Par- sons, Cady & Washburn to the amount of perhaps $2,000, The damage to the building was slight and tully covered by insurance. A CATHOLIC COLLEGE BURNED. Torexa, Kan., Feb. 3, 1879. St. Mary’s College, a Catholic institution, located at St. Mary’s, Pottawatomie county, twenty-four miles from this city, was destroyed by fire this after- poon. The loss is between $30,000 and $40,000, The furniture was mostly saved, but the clothing be- longing to ninety-eight boarding students, the libraries’ fixtures, &c., were entirely destroyed. The fire is supposed to have caught from a defective flue, A MINNESOTA TOWN IN FLAMES, Sr. Paut, Feb. 3, 1879, A disastrous fire occurred last evening at Kilkenny station, on the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad, Two stores, the post office and about half of the town are destroyed. CHURCH BURNED. Cursten, Pa., Feb, 3, 1879. The Middletown Presbyterian Church, four miles, from here, was burned on Sunday afternoon. The loss is about $3,000. It was the oldest Presbyterian churen in this State, having been built prior to 1735, AGRICULTURAL WAREHOUSE BURNED, Grimay, IIL, Feb. 3, 1879. A fire yesterday destroyed John P. Ghule’s agricul- tural warehouse. Loss, $18,000 to $20,000: insur- anco, $11,000, A GREAT WOOLLEN FAILURE. THE SAYLES, OF CONNECTICUT, SUSPEND—- CLOSING OF THE MILLS AT MECHANICSVILLE, Bostox, Mass., Feb, 3, 1879. The annonncement of the failure of H.C. & 8. L, Sayles, Dayville, and 8. L. & T. D. Sayles, Versailles, Conn., created a sensation among the wool merchants in this city. These concerns—in reality, one—have | been in existence twenty-five years and were tho largest individual manufacturers of woollen goods in the country. The mills at Mechanicsville wero the finest in the State ond ran fifteen ixteen seta of machinery. The mills at le contained ten or twelve sets of machinery, and those at Versailles fifteen sets, making an aggre- gate of about forty sets of machinery, which were employed exclusively in the manufacture of cassimere. The product of the three mills amounted to $1,500,000 or $2,000,000 in value per annum, and these yoods were consigned to the house of Low, Harriman &Co., New York. The capital invested in mill property is extimated at from $750,000 to $1,000,000, the entire village of Mechanicsville being owned by the firm of H.C. & 8. L. Sayles. The failure bears heavily upon the wool mer- chants of this city, who were creditors of the two firms to the extent of $350,000 or $400,000, ‘Tho sts- pended firms were the largest purchasers of wool who came to this market, and scarcely a single house has escaped the blow. It is estimated that three-fourths of the loss by this failure will tall a Boston merchants, although it is impossible to state the amount of the liabilities. The failure is attri- reciation in the value of woollen goods and the inability of the firms to obtain assistance from local bank: houses on which they have here- tofore relied. TENNESSEE'S DEBT. Nasnvii.e, Feb, 3, 1879, Tho American to-morrow will publieh a letter ad- dressed to Governor Marks, from Engene Kelly, Chairman of the Tennessee Bondholders’ Committees, at New York, informing him that the suits instituted in the name of the bondhulders against Tenneaseo railroads to test the question of priority of lien ef the bouds issted in aid of their construction was without the knowledge or consent of the committee, who con- tinue to hope that a settlement with the State is prac- ticable and that the compromise proposed by the committee may be favorably acted upon by Freee Legislature. He adds that the settlement he debt is of vital importance alike to the debtors and creditors. WALKING AT NEWPORT. B.D. BURNS TRAMPS TWENTY-FIVE MILES IN THE QUICKEST TIME EVER MADE IN THE STATE BY A RHODE ISLANDER. (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Newvorr, R. L., Feb, 3, 1879, Newport to-night has witnessed an extraordinary feat in pedestrivnism, the champion walker of the State, B. D, Burns, agreeing to walk twenty-five miles im four hours and thirty minutes. Burns was matchei for $100 4 side. From the start he felt confident of winning. Bets ranging insums from $5 to $50 were freely made that he would not be able to accom- plish the task, especially on the track here, which is unusually small one, there being forty-nine laps to the mile. A large crowd was in attendance, and the enthusiasm willlong be remembered, Two excel- lent timekeepers, each having stop watches ip perfect order, kept the noisy crowd informed of the progress of the match. Burns commenced his task at 7h. 38m. He made his first mile in 8m, 45s., and his last, as will be seen in the following table, in 8m, 228,.:— Sixteenth 30 Seventeenth....... 10 20 9 55 Kighteonth. 10 35 i110 30 Nineteenth: ...22.. 10 35 11 20 ‘Twentieth... i 0 26 Twenty-first.......

Alarge number of bets were made that he would walk his last mile in cight minutes, eight and a quar- ter, andin eight anda half. He never entertained a thought that he could make the last mile in eight minutes, but his friends were perfectly wild and hardly knew what they were doing. He sang out to» personal friend who made a heavy bet in his hearing that he could make the last mile in eight minutes that he was afool. He made his first thirteen miles in 2h. 4m. 30s. and had 16m. 22s, in which to make his last mile. It wili thus be seen that he had sm. to spare. The distance was madein 4h, 22m, 38s., which is the best time ever made in the State by a Rhode Islander.
