6 NEW YORK'S HAWKERS. PECULIAR SOUNDS BT WHICH THEY ATTRACT ATTENTION. y Theatrical Gossip-A Number of New Theatres Projected—New York Be coming’ the Rival of Paris in a Musi cal Way--A Strong Dramatic Combi nation. Hew York, May 28.—The streets Traffic of New York has grown to great proportions. Five thousands peddlers are daily patrolling the thoroughfares selling all kinds of wares and 1 doings all kinds of work. They pay a dollar • year to the city for the privilege of sel ling goods on the streets and harassing late sleepers and nervous people with their cries. The first cries in the morning nre those of the newsboys. In Western cities w here the features of bullentin boards has not been developed the newsboys call out the name of thetr papers and announce their mast start ling piece of new. A few moments before the paper comes out the city editor sends down to the publication office a cry for the newsboys. The man in charge of the base ment room where a hundred or two news boys are waiting, then calls them up and gives them the cry. One day the shout in one of the Western newspapers offices was: •‘All about the murder of Smith!” Peter Smith had been a very wealthy, aristocratic man. The newsboys were coached and sh' mted the call several times in vociferous concert while waiting for their papers. Some of them, as Is usually the case, did not learn the call correctly, and when they began calling their iiaper on the street the friends of Mr. Smith were horrified to hear them shout: “Allabout the murderer, Peter Smith,” , The New Y ork newsboy merely calls the names of the (>apers. He gives the names a peculiar inflection, and if the edition is an extra he shouts, "Hextra, just out!” a cry sure to sell papers, for the public knows that something extraordinary must have hap pened to warrent an extra. Before the newsboy selling morning papers has subsided, the people in flats and board ing houses, who are trying to take their final morning nap, are arouses! by the peculiar whoops that sound like “Y—) —p! Y—o— b—oo?” It is the call of the milkmen with their peculiarly fasliioned red wagon. In Washington the milkmen announce their coming by ringing great gongs attached to the dashboards of their wagons, and in Western cities they ring dinner-bells, hut no New York milkman is allowed to ring a bell. His cry is peculiar and no other ven dor attempts to imitate it. When the milkmen have gone a man comes along the streets yelling what sounds like, “Glass pudding!” He happens along at the hour when the chaniliermaids are cleaning the windows and his call means: “Glass put in!” Following him are men, one on each side of the street, for they, like many branches of street traffickers, usually travel in pairs, yelling in peculiar nasal tones, ‘' Rag son-bot-telm!” They are the rag or bottle buyers. New York lias be come a great beer drinking city, and bottled beer for table use is so extensively used that these bottle buyers gather great numbers of bottles. The consumer of bottled l>ear gets a rebate by returning the empty bottles to the beer merchant, but he usually doesn't care to bother with them and gives the ser vants the proceeds of their sale. The rags and bottles man is the particular friend of the domestics. At 8 o’clock in the morning a great army of fruit and vegetable vendors begin to make the streets anything but melodious. One shouts “Pot-eight pot-eight, pot-eight-oos!" Anothryell: “Sparrow-grees! Thirteen cents a bunch!” The former is the vendor of new potatoes just from Bermuda, and the latter of asparagus. Some of these vegetable dealers have wagons loaded with all kinds of produce—poi-table green groceries, in fact. Everv dealer has an ambitions to own a wagon. The privilege of running a wagon costs him $5 a year for the find year and 50c. a year thereafter. If he is too poor to own a horse and wagon he gets a push-cart, but the lisence for this vehicle costs him as much as for the horse and wagon. There are 5,000 lisenced meix-handi.se wagons in New York, ranging from the little cart con taining an ice cream freezer, from which an Italian sells a cent’s worth of ice cream on a piece of brown paper to a newsboy, to the eleborate green grocery wagon drawn by a handsome noi-so. Every day at this season an Italian wheels a cart to the north end of the post office and announces “Kap-o-dillo.” The s&padillo is the only fruit that must be nearly rotten to suit the epicure, who de scribes its taste as a combination of apple, pineapple and banana. About 'll o'clock men drive along the streets In the tenement districts, screaming: “Go—way!” Get near enough to the con tents of their wagons and you will find that they are selling coat Tin'majority of the licensed wagons in New York are those from which coal and ice are sold. The yell “red disbees!” blends with tile coalman's call. Five cents a bunch for five radishes is the ruling price. The vicinity of the great fac tories is a good field for the radish vendor about noon, for the workman esteems the radish with bis luncheon and beer. At the crowded street corners frequented by shoppers one hears thecall: “Lie—likes! Just cut! Five—cents—a—bunch!” Lilacs arc very popular for table ornamentation and the vendors make a good living by then sale. A man with a musical voice perambulates the street on the lower west side of the city singing: “Any penknives or sissors, or carvers to gr— l—ud?“ Another dealer, whose voice sound like a chant at church service, goes through the tenement-lined streets on tne east side sing ing: “Tin—warhar to ine—hend! Was—to—hubs, tin pal— hols, boil—hers and pa— hans!” The poet of the craft is a clam vendor who sings out: “Oh, clams, oh, clams, fresh clams to day. They've lately arrived from Hookaway. They’re good for to eat and they’re good for to fry, They're good for to make a clam potpie!” The broom peddlers have a peculiar cry, which sounds “A-tvhooli! a tvhoo!” and no one would understand the shout “Ap-hpm, tenre a—wliatcr po,—hel,” means apples 10c. a water pail. The Chinese quarter is seldom invaded by sticet vendors; the Italian quarter is thick with them, but they do not cry their wares. The bread women tire in the majority. They crunch on the sidewalk, near the curbs, with great loaves of shiny black bread laid out on big coffee sacks on the walk. V reel ing pedestrian sometimes steps on their goods and only on ouch occasions do they lift up their voices. The shout of the bootblack bus almost been silenced in New York, und the Italian:; are mainly responsible for it. The trade has become a regular business, controlled by Italian men with street chain;and footrests, richly ornamented with brass, but no stand owner ever emits the cry of his trade or asks a customer to have a shine. Amos J. Cummings. IL Theatrical gossip is rampant lust now. Every man and his bosom friend is building a theatre, and thq, number and variety of such structures wliic h have Won projected, elaboratel, ad vert Led and boomed bids fair to make New York the rival of Paris in an amuse ment way. There is oulv one little feature that has cast gentle shade over the fu ture,and t.hatls the deep-seated con viction In the heart of everybody interested in amuse ments that not more than one of the fifteen projected theatres will ever lie built. Mr. Yliner i* to bnve anew theatre devoted en tirely to comedy; J. M. Hill is understood to lint? his eye upon an |>-town site; Messrs, AbCPy. Hchreffel und f rau have the Htar Theatre, the newer house nt Thirtieth street, and are projecting a third theatre it inch is to bo situated bouicniioro in the 1 vicinity of Seventh avenue, Broadwav and Thirty-first street: T. Henrv French. Frank Sanger and Count-Zabron .sky have matured ! plans for the erection of a rival to the j Casino; Hoyt and Thomas are understood to ! have their weather eyes fixed on Broadway, be:we n Thir.y sevouth and Thirty-ninth st ire's, I for the exclusive production of their farci- I <-al <xmiedics. Overtures ba'-e been made to K. G. Gilmore to take charge of the new 1 theatre, which will soon occupy the space now taken up by Madison Square Garden, and soon indefinitely. The magnitude of some of tl:<-se transactions in theatrical properties may be judged from the fact that a few days ago a lot was bought by a theatrical manager who announces that he will erect upon his lot what will unques tionably be the most beautiful theatre in America. It will cost in the neighborhood of *350.000. Thus far he has the lot. The price of the lot was $60,000. Eight hun dred dollars was ]>aid down and the trifling balance goes on bond and mortgage. It seems somewhat strange in view of the past season that there should be such a widespread and effusive desire to erect thea tres in New York. The fact is that the theatres already here havfe been by no means well patroniz 1, and at the present time, although it is perfect theatre-going weather, two of them,. Harrigan’s and the Fifth Avenue, are closed up as though it were the middle of summer. There is more gossip about Abbey, Sehoeffel and Grau than any other firm of theatrical managers. It is unquestionably the strongest dramatic combination that has ever been made. Next year these gentlemen will run AVallack’s Theatre, the Star Theatre and the Boston Theatre and direct the touis? of Mme. Bern hardt and Mme. Patti, besides having anew theatre of their own up town. The trans fer of Wallack’s Theatre to Mr. Abbey is not without its pathetic side, for, now that the facts have become known, it is seen that Mr. Wallack owns absolutely nothing in the down-town house' where he achieved so many triumphs and made so much fame, and that his interest in the upper house is one of name only. Theodore Moss, who was once hired as an office boy in Wal lack 's at #8 a week, has acquired both of the theatres, and, indeed, all but Wallack's name, and the foremost actor and manager in America is retired absolutely from the control of -cither of his theatres, while Ab bey takes charge for a period of ten years. A pension has been granted to Mr. Wal lack for the use of his name. Mr. Wal lack has always attended to the artistic side of his theatres, while Moss attended to the business end. The success which has at tend'd Mr. Moss is somewhat impressive. It is said that his name was Moses once. As the theatrical season stands now. there is a general surprise for the wiseacres in the success of “The Highest Bidder.” It has taken the town by storm. Originally put on as a light and airy trifle of small pre tensions but pleasing texture with which to close the season, it has bloomed into the big gest and most substantial kind of a success, and is the talk of the town. E H. Sothorn, the son of a distinguished and brilliant father, has achieved a success in it which has surprised even the men who have watched him closely. Every one knew he was a clever and painstaking actor, but no one looked for the exhibition of skill, force, artistic finish and high comedy ability which he has shown in this piece. The scats are Linked far in advance, and it is almost impossible to accommodate the crowds at. the theatre. So pronounced has boen the hit that a firm of theatrical managers has made overtures to Miss Duuvrav for the re lease of Mr. Sothem, who had a contract with the actress for next season. They have, lam told, already offered $2,(¥10 for feit if Mrs. Dauvray will release Mr. Sothem so he can be taken on a starring tour at once, but the actress! still holds firm. Possibly she is waiting for “The Highest Bidder,” though it is the general impression that she will not stand in the way of the success which Mr. Sothem can achieve at once if his hands are unfettered. Blakely Hall. THE CHURCH FIGHT STILL ON. The Contest Over the Central Fire Station—New Buildings Erected. Charleston, May 38.—The seceders and the regulars (Episcopal) still keep up the fight on the negro in Diocesan Conven tion in the newspapers. A distinguished Baptist divine has taken a hand in the con troversy, and it is expected that Presbyteri ans, Methodists, Luthrans and others will soon be involved. The only denomination that has not yet appeared on the surface is, strange to say, the Reformed Epis cojial church, which is com posed entirely of negroes, at least in this State, and of which the Rt. Rev. P. F. Stevens is the Bishop. Some of the seceding brethren contend that St. Mark’s church—the Line ot' contention— should go to that church; but St. Mark’s, it must be remembered, is composed of the elite of the light-colored element in the com munity, and moreover is one of the heaviest contributors to the diocesan funds. While the Reformed Episcopalians are, viewed from Kt. Murk’s standpoint, u very common lot of the black population. A NEW FIRE STATION PROPOSED. Public interest in the tight, however, lias been fffimewhat swallowed up in certain mu nicipal matters, in which the City Council and a very respectable minority of property lioldei-s are engaged at loggerheads. Among otlier improvements decided upon by the City Council since the earthquake is the building of a central fire stat ion for the use of the file department. The site selected for the building is the lot on which stood the first artesian well ever bored in Charleston, and which lias been used for a year or two as a public park. The people who own proiiorty in that vicinity, strange to say, aro bitterly opiwsod to the location of the fire department there. The park itself is no park at all. It is almost 100 fret square und is the resort at night of black t ramps and vagabonds of the most disreputable character. The city pro poses to erect a handsome building on the site, and to station four or five of its steam ers there, having two branch stations, one in the upiier and one in the lower wards. As is well known, the fire department of Charleston is not a large body of volunteer firemen, who would make night noisy with their carousals. On the contrary, it is u compacts well-trained and disciplined tarty of men numbering less than ltK) all told, in the nay of the c-ity and governed by veteran fire men. Their presence in any locality would never be known except in case o'f a lire when it would be very welcome to the neigh lMirhood. How the owners of property in the vicinity can object to the new building, there is ‘ difficult, to understand, and vet, they are making a very vigorous and bitter tight against it, even to the extent of threatening to carry the question into the courts. The Mayor, however, has set his heart upon the matter and has u majority of the Council with him, und MayorCourtcnav. as everyone knows who has watched his official ctu-eer, is a good fighter. The work of cleaning up the lirk has already lieen finished and by the time tlie potitionere get a standing in court —if they ever get it—the new building will be well under way, if not completed. BETTER FACILITIES DEMANDED. The mercantile portion of the community ix alxmt to make u break in the way of im proving the commercial facilities of the city. A meeting of mere!iunt.s was held a day or two ago and a committee apjiointcd to in terview the railroad oHioinl* \\ ltli a view of petting them to build a union depot. The _project is a pet scheme of (.'apt. !•’. W .

NEW BUILDINGS. It is very cheering to the old city to not* that.in spite of the earthquake it continues to grow. Tne official figures show that since Oct. 1, 1880 permits have been issued for the erection of 103 new buildings at a cost of $153,535. As it is a matter of history that comparatively few buildings were entirely destroyed in the earthquake, although very few without serious damage, these figures may be taken to represent the actual growth of the city, and to show that the people have still an unshaken faith in its fu ture. They do not include the new city and government buildings now in course of con struction, and which involve a cost of per haps S(SOO,(XK) in round numbers. A PHOSPHATE ROCK SYNDICATE. Rumors prevail in commercial circle that a syndicate Is about to be formed to control the price of erode phosphate rock which is used extensively in New York. Baltimore 1 ! Philadelphia and elsewhere in the manufac ture of fertilizers. It is said that all the principal mining companies both of land and river rock have entered the syndicate. The terms are that the entire product of the mines is to be placed in the hands of a gen eral manager, who will be empowered to make all the sales and to regulate the price. Such a combination existed here in 1884J>, but it embraced only the land companies and fell through in 1885 owing to the fact that the river companies undersold the others. The present arrangement will em brace both land and river companies. The annual production of phosphate rock here amounts to -100,000 tons, valued at about #2,000,000. The present prices range from $4 to pi per ton. The syndicate proposes to run up prices. David' Roberta, a woll known phosphate king, it is said, will be the general manager of the syndicate. Large blocks of phosphate mining and manufactur ing stock are owned in New York and Balti more. GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS. Matters of Money and Management About Various Lines. Arrangements have been made by the Charleston and Savannah railway for the steamer St. Helena to run in connection with the trains to and from its Young’s Island terminus on and after to-morrow. A loan of $3,000,000 5 per rent, fifty-year bonds of the Mobile and Birmingham Rail way Company of Alabama has just lieen placed in London. The Mobile and Birming ham bonds are guaranteed principal and in terest by the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad. The line is now approach ing completion, and will furnish the East Tennessee system with its outlet to the Gulf and valuable terminal facilities at Mobile. Restoring Old Rates. The Rate Committee of the Southern Railway and Steamship Association, which met in St. Louis last week, restored rates to what is known as the Ohio river basis. The making of rates by the Southern lines only to and from the river was in force for a long time, hut more recently through rates have been made by lines north of the river on traffic originating at points north of the river and destined to Southern territory, and vice versa. There will be in the future no pro rating, but, as stated, rates will be made only to and from the river. This change will in no wise conflict with the provisions of the interstate commerce law, but it will be of little or no benefit to shippers. Alabama's Railroads. The State Board of Equalization and As sessment has concluded the work of assess ing the property of the railroads now owned and operated in Alabama. These facts and figures as to the assessed value of some of the leading railroads in the State will give an insight to the amount and valuation of the railroad property in Alabama. The total value of all the property of all the railroads in tho State is assessed at #27,939,771 2(1.

From the Southern Evangelist. In one of our colleges a professor who made himself very friendly with the stu dents was walking out with an intelligent scholar, when they saw an old man hoeing in a cornfield. Ho was advancing in ins work toward the road, by the sidd'of which lay his shties. As it was near sunset, the student proposed to play the old man a joke. “I will hide his shoos; we will conceal our selves behind the bushes and see what ho will do.” “No,” said the prolensur, “it would not lie right. You have money enough; just put a dollar in the old man’s shoes, then wo will hide behind tho bushes and see what he will do.” The student agreed to the proposal, and they concealed themselves Becomingly. When the laborer had finished his row of corn he came out of the field to go home. He put on one shoe, felt something hard, took it off and found the dollar. He looked around him, but saw no one and looked up gratefully toward heaven. Ho then put on the other shoe and found another dollar. He looked at it, and looked all-around him, hut saw no one. He then knelt upon the ground and returned thanks to God for the blessings which l::id been conferred upon him. The listeners learned from the prayer that the eld man’s wife and one of his children were sick, and that they were very poor; so that the two dollars were a great relief sent to them from heaven. “There,” said the Professor, “how much 1 etter this is than to have hidden tho old man’s shoes.” Delicate Childron, Nursing Mothers, Overworked Men, und for all dis eases where the ti.u<*s are wasting away from the inability to digest, ordinary food. or from overwork of the brain or body, all such should take Scott's EmclsioX <>r Pure Ccxl Liver Oil with Hypopliosphitn. “1 used the Emulsion on a ‘lady who was deli fat*' and threatened with Bronchitis.

The tug Cambria took the lighter Brierly Hill in tow yesterday with 600 barrels of spirits of turpentine for Brunswick. The steamer Florida arrived here yester day from Jacksonville in tow of the tug Seth Low. Her engines will be taken out ami she will be converted into a lighter to carry phosphate between Port Royal and this port. C'apt. Rockingham, of the pilot boat Glynn, which arrived up yesterday morning from quarantine and landed the tourist party previously mentioned in the News, rejiorts that they passed a schooner, appar ently American, of about 150 or 300 tons burthen in on the breakers of one of the Bahama islands and saw several wreckers going toward her. There have been no lights placed on the end of the river jetties lor sometime and the Captains of the several steamers complain of narrow escai>es from running on them while coming up the river at night. There seems to lie no settled understanding whose duty it is to place lights on the jetties, but the gen eral impression is that the Lighthouse Board should have it attended to. Some, of the lights in the river have also been out at various times because the parties having them in charge have been away from their posts and left others to attend to that duty. Local Personal.
