The firrest of “Jake” Sharp, the sly old fox who brilieel the lxjard of aidermen of New York city to grant him the franchise for a street railway on Broadway, will probubly lie followed by a pretty general punishment so far as the law is aide to reach them, of the men concerned iu this corruption of two years ago. A paragraph in the H’orkf, giving the present status of the members of the famous Itoard of aldermen of 1884- sometimes «poken of us the “Itoodle lxtard” strikingly illus­ trates the perils and uncertainties of the career of a statesman in the metropolis. The aidermen of 1884 are thus classified as regards their present location and re­ lations to the state: In Canada Henn L. Sayles, Charles Dempsey, Roltert E. DeLtuiev. In Gertnauy Thomas Rothman.

If the iidniinistratiou of justice in New York were reasonably efficient, more of these individuals would lie at Sing Sing, aud fewer of them in ••furrin parts” than the record shows.

[New York Herald.', Nilsson hall was filled yesterday after­ noon when Henry George, at a few mintyes before 3 o’clock, ascended the platform aud commenced his lecture on “Mooes.' He was greeted with “three cheers for the next mayor, ’ and without further introduction, in a quiet and int- preesive manner, he addressed his lis­ teners as follows: “There is in modern thought a tenden­ cy to look upon the prominent characters of history as resultant rather than as in­ itiatory forces. As in an earlier stage the irresistible disposition is to personi­ fication. so now it is to reverse thiB pro­ ce« and to resolve into myths mighty figures long, «nshrined in mystery. Yet, if we try to trace to their sources tuove- mente whose perpetuated impulses eddy and play in currents of our times, we at last reach the individual. It is true that ‘institutions make men.’ but it is also true that tn the Iteginning men make in­ stitutions. Three great religions place the leader of the exodus upon the highest plane they allot to man. To Christen­ dom and to Islam as well as to Judaism Moses is the lawgiver and mouthpiece of the Most High. His is a case in which sacred history may Ite treated as we should treat profane history, without any shock to religious feeling, for the keenest criticism can not resolve Moses into a myth. “It matters not when or by whom were compiled the Itooks popularly attributed to Moses; it matters not how much of the cotie there given may be survivals of more ancient usage or the amplifications It is estimated that each year from 34,- of a later age, its great features bear the 000 to 35,000 cubic miles of rain falls stamp of a mind far iu advance of people upon tho surface of the glolte.

From meager reports, it seems before the train left the city, a man, tall, dark, and of prepossessing ap- j ¡»earance, giving the name of Cummings, i presented letters to Express Messenger Frothingham, purporting to be signed by officers of the company, stating that Cummings was about to take a run on the line, ttnd asking Frothingham to give hint the necessary points. It is a curious fact that he gave the name of Jim Cummings, the only mem­ ber of the once notorious James gang who has never lieen accounted for. The stranger, who gave the name of Cummings to Frothingham, the messeu- ger, presented to him a forged letter hav­ ing a perfect fae simile of the signature of Barrett Route, local agent of the ex­ press company at St. Louis. The letter said Route had decided to put au extra man ou the line, that the liearer was he. and Frothingham was directed to teach him the details of the business. The stranger was allowed to enter the car, and he t/Hik great interest in all the movements of the messenger, apparently desiring to learn quickly the ins and outs of the duties which ho was expected to perform. The two men busied themselves with the accounts, etc., and all went well until a point lietween St. Louis and Pacific, Mo., was reached. Frothingham was busily engaged over his accounts with his back turned to Cummings. In the course of time it liecante necessary for him to go to the safe, and turning to do so, he saw the stranger calmly sitting in his chair with a cocked revolver leveled at him.

Frothingham had nothing to do but sub­ mit, Hud the robber bound him hand and foot, pressed a gag into his mouth, tied him to the safe so that he could not move, ami proceeded with his work. The sttfe had been left open and it took but a very few minutes for the robber to secure the bank notes, and valuables in the shape of jewelry, etc. The road at this point runs directly alongside a high bluff, which in places overhangs the tracks, making the danger of wrecks from collision with lxmlders, which oocasionly fall from above it{>on the tracks, very great.
