H»J Beat the Drivers and Conductora and Steal the Money—One Man M Shot Dead—The Mllltla to be ' Called Out. New Yobk, Oct. 10. —Cardinal McCloskey is dead. He passed away peacefully at 12:50 o'clock this morning. For over two hours he. was dying; the -flow of hit pulse was growing weaker and weaker, flickered, and then the throbbing of hit heart stopped. There was no struggle. Dissolution was unaccompanied by auy physical agony or suffering. For an hour and more be helplessly lay back on the pillows arranged by loving hanls. All of his relatives were gathered-around his bedside, and their grief could be no greater than that of his Moved brethren of the olsrgy, who were near at hand. The cardinal's coadjutor, Archbishop Corrigan was there, as was also the R*v. Dr. Quinh, Vicar general; Mgr. Thomas Preston, chancellor of the diocese; Father McDonnell, the cardinal's private secretary; Father Daubreeee, of St. Francis Xavier church, and the priests attached to the cathedral. Cardinal McCloskey was born in Brooklyn March 10, 1810. His home in the then small town of 5,000 Inhabitants was at the corner of Lawrence street and Myrtle avenue. Both his father and mother were natives of the county of Derry, Ireland, and emigrated to this country only a few years prior to his birth. His father was a hardworking man, who, dying when John McCloskey was 10 years of age, left bis family a competency. There were only two Catholic churoes in New York in those days—the old brick church of St Peter, in Barclay street, this city, where the cardinal was baptised, and Sc. Patrick's cathedral, in Mulberry street—"the new church out of town"—in which be was ordained a priest and years afterwards invested with a cardinal's.£eretta. He was baptized by the Rev. Anthony Kohl man and afterwards served mass in St. Peter's. Years later, in a sermon delivered in Brooklyn, he pictured in a touching manner his Irish mother leading him, then a little boy, by the hand down to the river and croesing to this city in a rowboat or in a horse ferry to attend service. At an early age be was sent to school and was generally the leader of bis class.

There were more single fights than any one man eoold count * round the barns of the various street oar companies, and the police were detailed in squads to pressrve the peaoe. 11m striking drivers and conductors took advantage of this distribution of the police to do thoir mischief in other localities. At about 11:30 a. m. a serious demonstration was made against oars passing along the Twelfth street 'bridge. Fifty strikers were scattered about the north end of the bridge, and, when a Oravios lina car approached, they suddenly gathered around and attacked the car. There were very few passengers on board, and-thay hastily left The driver made his escape, but the conductor was less fortunate. He made a rush for the front platform, but wu caught there by the strikers, who pommeled him unmercifully and th#n dragged him from the car and kickedrhim repeatedly as he lay on the ground. Then they liberated the car nones. Washuioton, Oct Itt'—Soma correspondence between Attorney General Garlani, the pred lent and Solicitor General Goods, respecting the attorney general's connection with the Pan Electric Telephone company, and the action of the solicitor general in authorising the suit to test the validity of the Bell telephone patent, is given to the prise. Attorney General Garland, in a letter to the president, dated Oct. 8, after alluding to the fact that he had brought the matter to the attention ol tha president an J his cabinet the day before, submits a statement explaining his connection with the telephone company, from tha day of its organisation up to the (reeeot time. Mr. Garland in Mi tetter says: i •■Dn4 »•'About three years ago, J, with some six or seven other other gentlemen, entered into an organisation known as the 'Pan Electric Telephone company,' based upon what was sailed the Rogers invention. We formed tnat company in good faith and started it in its operations, and have gone on from time to time with It. as companies have generally been contacted. In selecting the officers of the company, I wai made its attorney, lbs organisation was a legitimate awl legal one, and one into which each cue of its members had a perfect right to enter, and formed at a time whan there was not any particular probability that 1 would ever be oalled upon to fill the office of Attorney General ol the United States. Sometime last summer, I do not recollect the precise day, several gentlemen approached me, stating that they desired to make application in tlx of this company, of which I wfs a stockholder an J attorney, for the use of the name of the United States to test the validity of the Bell telephone patents in the courts. Those gentlemen were Mr. Oasey Young, Col George W. Gault, Mr. Tan Bantheysen and one other gentleman, Wose name I do not reoolleot. 1 told the Atlemen that I could not consider the nlAtter, and being asked by one of them Why, 1 stated that I was disabled, because of being a stockholder and the attorney for the company, in whose name it was Intended to —i" the application. Several question* were propounded to me as to the manner and nsodft of prooeeding in such matters, which I declined to answer, statin; that 1 was disabled from considering the subject matter at all. I could not answer thees questions, and this response 'seemed to be satisfactory gentlemen present They retired from my offioe and never made any further effort towards an application to me, and I would state that in the interview air luded to they did not exhibit any application to me or sa» that they were then ready to make it, put that they desire 1 tc make it Whether they wished tc It flbn or some fnturc time I do not know. I heard no more of the matter in any shape. I left here tto the 27th of August for a visit of recreation to my home in Arkansas without even speaking tc the solicitor general or any one else in the offioe about the matter. And the next thing upon this subject that came to my attention was a telegram kindly sent to me by the Times-Democrat, of New Orleans, already referred to, to which I replied from Little Rock that 1 did not know the use of the name of the United States had been granted and -that I had not granted any suoh usa This is all of my oonnection with the matter by commission or mission. After the interview with "the gentlemen already spoken or, 1 supposed that they would come to me with an application after the statement 1 had to either refer the mattor to the solicitor general or to present it to you, ai the legal head of of tha executive departments of the government, for your Such was not  but an application was made to the solicitor general and he granted the requests.- Upon this stata of facts there is a  of apprehension existing as to my trutf and proper relation as attorney general to this wMa wljj#ct, and I think I can correct ikat The solicitor general, under the law creating that office, is not the deputy or egeat ol the attorney general. Ue is the officer of the law and acts as such by virtue r* - from the people through the president, and not under the authority of the attorney general. In those matters that oome before him in the absence or in the case of the disability of the attorney general to act The latter part of section -847, of the revised statutes, says: 'In case of vaoaaor in tha offioe of attorney general -«r U his abeenoe or disability, the solicitor central (ball have power to exercise all the the duties of that offioe.' The disability hare is not limited to the one of physical ability to psrfonu the duties, but has referjue to and Includes that as well u mental iaoapkoity or Incapacity m aooount of interest in Che s object-ma terrand the section would properly read: ♦ e,or of his abeenoe, cr being The flfthieth anniversary of his priesthood was the occasion of a jubllei on a magnificent scale, which was held in the Fifth Avenue cathedral, on Jan. IS, 1881 Numerous bishop and over three hundred priests participated and the vast edifice was crowded to its utmost capacity. Addresses were delivered on behalf of the bishops, the clergy and the laity. At the same time the cardinal received numerous oostiy gifts. Then follows thla letter from the president to Solicitor General Goode: At this rebuff Lane went out on the prairies and gave his attention to cattleraising, Increasing his worldly wealth thereby to an enormous omou if. Ab ut five months ago ha again opened a correspondence with the lady, proposing to ber that she deeert father, home And friends and go to him. This she did, and on tho night of July 29 she alighted from the train at Fort Worth, Tex. She soon espied Lane, who by agreement wore a white handkerchief about his arm, and wlt'u him she went dirtotly to the la lie*1 waiting room in the depot, whero the Bev. Thomas Ash marriel them. The groom at this time was one of the beet known ranchmen in Texas. It seemed that he and his bride were entitled to and would realias many happy days, but fate ordered otherwise. In le*s than six weeks after the blissful wedding day, while en route to New Mexico, Lane was assassinated and his lifeless body was found by the roadside a few days later. The assassin's identity or motive has remained a mystery, but it is aliened that a clew now being followed will ■oon lead to the arrest of the murderer. EUCUUTIVB Maniuon, I Washington, Oct 1885. ) Hod. John Goods, Solicitor General. Mr Dxab Sib: I submit to yon with thla • statement made by Attorney General Garland explaining his relations (or, rather, want of relation) to the action by yon in his absence upon an application to bring, in the name of the United States, a suit to test the validity of a patent held by the Bell Telephone company. I call year attention especially to tka latter part of this statement, in whioh the attorney general speaks of the usual procedure in the department of justioe upon such applications. The reference to the interior department, which he mentions as an ordinary feature in that proceed ure, seems to have been dispensed with in your treatment of this application. . Tills omission may have been the resultof a lack of familiarity with the routine in such cases or of a perfectly clear and satisfactory persuasion of what should be done derived from the documents, presented to yon. Whatever the cause may be, and while such reference is not vital, of course, to the validity of your action, and though I am by no means prepared to question the correctness of the exercise of your discretion in the matter, still the precedent calling for a reference to the department with which the matter is connected is so well established, and seems to me so well founded upon considerations of safety as well as propriety, that I desire to suggest for your reflection the proposition whether such action on your part as will prefer re and protect such precedent and custom could not well be taken) Yours very truly, Grovxb Clxvxland. To this the solicitor gsneral responded as follows: GLAD8TONE'8 POLITICAL HEIR. Mr. Chamberlain Said to Have Dm Se- lected for that Character. London, Oct. 10.—The political sensation of to-day Is a rumor that Lord Halting ton, who has always been looked upon ss Mr. Gladstone's political heir and successor, is about to retire from politics. The story is that Mr. Joseph Chamberlain visited Mr. Gladstone at Ha warden for the prearranged pnrpose of receiving the mantle of leadership, which is obviously dropping .A-dm the shoulders of the grand old man of the liberal party; that Lord Hartingtan, who thought he should be the Moses of the reorganised party, soented the plot and thereupon threatened to withdraw. The story is possibly true, but the probabilities are against it It is freely discussed in all the political clubs, and in the Carlton club and other resorts of Conservatism it seems to bo implicitly believed. The Tory newspapers are in full swing of triumph. They daride the Whigs and hypocritically deplore the fsebleness «f Lord Har ting too. His speech at Bury contains certain vague phrases that are capable of being interpreted into a resolution to withdraw, and these are made the most of by the Tory writers. Some of the Tory leaders go so far as to ofor bribes to Lord Hartington to Join the Tory ranks, and several of them hint that, as the heir of the Duke of Devonshire, he is placing himself in a desperate and untenable position by giving countenance to Mr. Chamberlain's socialistic doctrines. The gang, by this time numbering about 100 men, then rushed south along the bridge, and, coming np with a white ear which had passed, they attacked it - The conductor and driver, had disappeared by the time ttie striken arrived, and the affrighted passengers were fast escaping, when the attacking party seised the horses, out the traces, and, beating the team with the car hook, sent them galloping along tbe bridge. Th?y then massed themselves upon the west side of the car, and, with a united effort, turned it over upon the east track. VANDERBILT'S METHODS. He vai the Principal Monr In the South Penn Matter. Philadelphia, Oct. 10.—When the South Pennsylvania ezamination was resumed is this city. A. J. Drexel was the first witness called. He related conversations that he had with Mr. Vanderbilt in regard to the ■ale of the property. One oi his object* was to obtain harmony among the railroad lines. The witness also had an in tor via w with Mr. Roberts. The latter thought th*. terms proposed were exorbitant "I think," ■aid the witness, "be made the remark that he did not care to bay a hole in the ground. He did not think it would be so strong a competing line as Mr. Vanderbilt thought, and in (act regarded it aa • rather unprofitable enterprise. I called on Mr. Vanderbilt and told him my mission had failed. The next I heard of the matter was when Mr. Morgan took it up." In the interview Mr. Drexel said Mr. Roberts appeared to oonsider that the new Lake Central waf responsible for tbe building of the Smith Pennsylvania, became Mr. Vanderbilt was tbe leading capitalist in the enterprise. Mr. Drexel, however, always took the view that the New Vork Central should not be held responsible for what Mr. Vanderbilt had done in hia private capacity. H. McK. Twombley, son-in-law of William H. Vanderbilt, was called and testified in regard to the organisation of the South Pennsylvania Railroad company. "About a year ago," he said, "feeling baaame conspicuous on the part of loma of the syndicate to sell their stock," He gave the names of the subscribers and the amounts held by them. Another white car coming north was next attacked. The conductor and driver managed to escape, which seemed to infuriate the rioters, who made such haste In their endeavor to turn the car over that they were actually tinping it np while the passeugeis were still to escape from it Among them was a young lady named Edgerton, who was hurt while she was getting out of the car.

After also turning over a yellow and a bine car the rioters settled down to await the arrival of others, when the police appeared and scattered them. The conductor who had been aafkulted was carried to the Four Court*, where he regained consciousness. He said the attack was made so suddenly that he did not have time either to eeoape or defend himself. His face was cut and bleeding, and bis head was badly swelled. He said his name was Hubert Marchand, and that be had had enough of street ear work far the present Five of the rioters were looked up. While this affair was in progress there was another riot A mob started in to wreck the Peoples' line, at Fourth and Chouteau avenues. They called to the passengers to get oat of a Car. Then they struck the driver, threw him off the oar, unhitched the horsee and threw the oar over on its side. Then they rnebed west on Chonteau avenue and pat another oar through the same coarse of treatment The paesengers had scaroely time to get out before the car was on its sidsi The driver and conductor slipped away as soon as they oould get oat of the clatcbee of the #reckers.

Brighton Beach Baeee—Canada Vlctort- The President Silt: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of yours of the 8th inst, submitting a statement mads by ths attorney general with reference to the action taken by myself, in his absence, upon an Application to bring in the name of the United States a suit t# test the validity of a patent held by the Bell Telephone company.It is true it has been a practioe of this department to refer similar applications to tl» interior department for information and suggestion before final action has been taken. It is also true that, acting as attorney general, I granted the application in this instance without making the usual reference to the interior department. This omission was not the result of a lack of far miliarity tflth the routine in such cases, but of a satisfactory persuasion derived entirely from the papers presented to me as to what was right and proper to be dona in the premises. In addition to the affidavits which ~ accompanied the letter of tbe district attorney who made application for permission to uto the name of tbe United Statu in bringing the suit, he transmitted an attested oopy of all the writings filed in the patent office and the proceedings had thereupon, which resulted in the issue anl delivery of of the letters patsnt to Mr. B9lL After a oareful examination of these exhibits, which appears to be duly authenticated, I came to the conclusion that all the necessary information had already been furnished by tbe patent office, and Inasmuch as the question presanted by the papers for my consideration was a legal one exclusively, I did not deem it advisable to refer the application to the interior department for suggestions. But concurring with yon as to tbe propriety of the practice which has bean generally adopted in such matters by this department heretofore, and being unwilling to take any action which may be regarded as a departure from a wise and safe precedent I con- N*w Yobk, Oct 10.—The first race at Brighton Beach was a selling purse, over three-quarters of a mile.

It had been his father's wish that John should be sent to Georgetown college, of which the Rev. Benedict Fanwiclc, who had assisted Bishop Connolly at B\ Peter's, was the rector. But when the time arrived for him to be ssnt away to school that worthy priest had left Georgetown. His delicate health induced his mother~to send him instead to Mt St Mary's college, Em mittsburg, Md., where it was hope! his body as well as his mind might be improved. He entered the oollege when not yet 13 years old, and want through the fuMD curriculum of stadias, lasting fa# ssvon years. His devotion to his studies won for him the admiration of his teachers and fellows, and be was graduated with ths highest honors in 1828.

He was a protege of Cardinal Weld, who presanted him to many e ninent people and enlarged his circle of frieads still more. A third year abroad was given up to travel and study in other countries on the continent and he returned to Hew York In 1838 to begin his work as a teacher, but the project of establishing a college had been abandoned and Father McClosksy became pastor of St Joseph's church, on Sixth avenue.

After the train had got under full headway she was discovered to enter the toilet room with the child, and after some time she returned without it, though nobody in the ear- seems to have thought this fact vary remarkable at the time. At the next station she left the oar and disappeared. Afterward it was ascertained that she had attempted to throw the Infant under the wheels. A bridge carpenter saw it fall from the car, however, and picked it up. It was still living, and he took it to Eimhurst, where it subsequently died. The woman left the train at Lombard, and took the next train for the city. Between lend 8 p. m. Washington avenue, between Seventh and Tenth street*, wee the scene of great excitement Ten can ware turned over. The police had all they ooold do to make four arrests. About the lame time crowds began gathering in the north end of the city. A mob collected on O' Fallon street and stopped the first .car of the Union line that came along. The passengers barely had time to get off when the car was upset The next1 six ears shared the same fate. The police were soon on hand, and six of the stranrs were arrested.

As a result of this rioting nine oars were overturned on the Union line,_three on Seventeenth street and two on Fifteenth street In all cases the boxes of the bobtails were broken open and the money carried away. Several of the cars which were thrown from the tracks were manned by polioemen. Sergeant Shore and a detail of policeman petroled the streets soon after the trouble occurred, and in many cases tbe police were assaulted with stones. sider it best perhaps, under all tbe circumstances, to revoke the permission which bos been granted to bring the suit referred to. Accordingly, I have written by to-day's mail to H. W.

"Get off those cars, yon dirty curs and scabs!" The drivers who were removed from their oars ran down the tracks and warned tbe men who were coming jaot to go up O'Fallon street or they wonld be killed. As a consequence a blockade of cars occurred on the Union line. After the trouble was over these cars formed in a line aad went up through the crowd in a bunch. The driver of the first car, as he reached the now quiet erowd. was induced to leave his oar, and it had to be palled from the track. The other five oars, however, proceeded, followed hf the Jeers of the rioters. From here the rioter* retreated four bloaks north to Cass avenue, when ten cars were thrown from the track, and the conductors and drivers were clubbed and beaten with stones. The teams ware turned loose, and there was the greatest excitement William Jfcckson, a clerk at the Arlington hotel. Hot Springs, was riding to the fair grounds with some friends on a Cass a van us car. He was struck in the Jaw with a rode, and the bone was badly fractured. In 1812, on the establishment of the diocesan seminary in connection with the college in Fordham, he was appointed reotor. A year later he was appointed coadjutor to his old college friend, Bishop Hughes. On March 10, 1844, his thirtyfourth birthday, he was oansecrated titular Bishop of Axiari in St Patrick's. He continned the pastorship of St Joseph's until threo years later. Then it became nectasary to divide the diocese of New York, and those of Buffalo and Albany were created. * Bishop MoOloskey was translated to be Bishop of Aih.« on Hay 21, 1847. There he labored for seventeen years until, on the death of Archbishop Hughes, he was transferred from Albany to New York and the tatter's successor on May fl, 1804. He had been confirmed by Bishop Connolly, the first bishop of New York; he had been ordained by Bishop Dubois, the second; he had. been oonsecrated by Archbishop Hughes, the third prelate ruling the see, and he became tbe fourth bishop '•'-t-t'f Tbe wants of the people war* fully known to him, for he had giown up hi their midst But others who ware not Catholics welcomed him, for his methods were different from those of his predecessor. The church work wat extended to him and the number of churches and parowhlai schools increased.

The latter, which had itabegtatatM* in a humble way, has grown to great proportion* under his fostering oar* Work an the cathedral, which was suspended during the war, was resumed in 18M.

Tbeee gentlemen are to investigate the oondition of American industries, aad to seek for suggestions obtained from American experience for remedying the stagnant condition of trade in Great Britain. One of the special commissioners will probably be Mr. Samuel Storey, the Radical member for Sunderland, and the partner of Mr. Andrew Carnegie, of Pittsburg,' in the ownerthip pf a group of English Radical newspapers.

Washington, Oct 10.—Complaint against the existing rules governing legislation in the house of representatives has been growing louder and louder for several years, and the quest!on of changing them fe frequently discussed Some members openly declare that the rules operate to obstruct rather than to facilitate the dispatch of .business, Dnd favor a change, while some of the older members oppose it, and argue that the change of the roles enabling more members to get through pet bills would inevitably result in an excess of legislation. One radical change urged by many members is to allot the appropriation bills to the several committees which are intrusted with legislative powers relating to the interests involved in these bill*, and permit these committees to perfect the bills and report them to the house. This scheme to apportionJba various appropriation bills out among the several committees, and thus strip the appropriation committee of its present powers and dutijs, does not find much flavor with1 congressmen now in town.
