4 (MM EDITION EVIDENTLY A MURDER. Some Facts Concerning; tho Body Found at Rockaway. There appears to be little doubt that the child found at Rockaway Beach, as reported in yos torday's Eaqi.e, was murdered. The skull was split through and tho breast was lacerated. It was tho wound In tho head that caused death.

The child had lived at least three days. A surgeon who saw the body exprossod the opinion that It had been in professional hands, judging from tho nature of the Inclslou in tho breast It was vory plain that tho body hail not been iu tho dis sectlug room of a medical college. How It roachod Rockaway Beach is a puzzle to Coroner Cronin. It did not come In on tho tide, because It had never boen In the water. The body was clothed and wrapped In several old newspapers, an Eagle being of tho numbor.

It is believed that the corpse was takon to the beach in a basket on Monday aud deposited where tho tide would bo likely to tako It out to sea, but the body was found before the tide reached It The child's death was probably offocted Sunday night or Monday morning, as decomposition had not set in when the body was picked up. The coroner has adjournod the inquest without date. HURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE. The new Grand Jury have found an indictment for murder in the first degree against Dan Driscoll, the leader of the Whyo Gang, who shot and killed Bridget Garrity a few nights ago, in New Driscoll entered a plea of not guilty, bofore Judge Gildorsleovo, In the General Sossions Court, to day. IN TRAINING FOR HARRY WALTON.

Martin Dempey, After a Successful Philadelphia Trip. Martin Dompsey, ex champion wrestler, aspirant for the feather weight pugilistic championship and brother of the famous aud unconquorod Jack, returned 10 his home In the Fourtoonth Ward yesterday afternoon with bruised hands and one broken knuckle, an Increased reputation as a fighter and a pooket full of Philadelphia cash. This afternoon ho went to Rockaway to go Into training for his Dght with Harry Walton, which 1b to take place on the 19th lnat. The week at Philadelphia was a successful one for Martin. He was starring there at Clark'e Olympic Club House, Eighth and Vine streets, aud at the beginning announced his readiness to meet anyone tor four rounds with two ounce gloves at 116 pounds.

Billy Peterson was the first to respond to the challenge and when tho two men appeared; stripped In the ring the bets were all In Peterson's favor, for It waa then discovered that that young Philadelphtan wa3 many pounds heavier than tho slendor little Brooklyn boy who faced him. But Dempsey, though be knew he had a big man to meet, saw that he was In for the contest, and, accepting the Issue, started off with such a rueh as to hare the best of the first two rounds. In the last two rounds Peterson's superior size and weight counted In his favor and the contest was declared a draw. The next evonlng Dompsey met Eddie Harris, who weighs 124 pounds, and boat him easily In three rounds. Ho also was the victor In three rounds over Hardie, who weighs 123 pounds, and on tho last evening of his stay in Philadelphia ho met Jim Howie, who Is two Inches taller and fourteen pounds heavier than he, and In the presence of an Immense crowd at the picnic grounds knocked him out In two rounds.

Dempaey is much pleased with his treatment while In the Quakor City. The fight between Martin Dempsey and Harry Walton is to bo with skin tight glovea to a nuiBh, Marquis of Queensberry rulos, for a purae of $400 and a private bet of $200. Walton won tho last feather weight championship contest In New York. Dempsey Is to allow Walton six pounds. Dempsey would much prefer a fight according to London rules, but because of his reputation as a wrestler no one enrea to meet him that way.

He looks well and is oouQdent of winning the fight. SLUMBERING IN COMMITTEE. The Measure Changing Inauguration Day and tho Soauloits of Conurean. Special to the Eagle. Washington, July a ThoSonate several weeks ago passed the Joint resolution providing for an amendment to tho constitution changing the day of Inauguration of the President from March 4 to April 30 and extending tho short session of Congress to the same date.

This matter Is now slumbering In the Houso Commltteo on the Judiciary and there seems to be but slight prospect of Its receiving consideration in the Houso during the prosont session. Representative Tucker, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, says the question of changing the day for Inaugurating the President Is not so serious as the question of extending tho session of Congress. In his opinion sessions of Congress should be Indeflnlto and continue whllo there is business to be transacted. Ho Bays ho Is In favor of a change In the time for holding Congressional eloctlous, as under the present system electlonB for a coming Congress are held before the second session of tho body then sitting. The effect of such a system is that during tho first session a new member is so sensitive to public opinion and so anxious about securing a re election that hla use.

fulnoBs Is seriously Impaired. If the desire for a re oloctlon could be removed from his Bight until after he has served a full term In Congress, he would probably be more usef ul to hla constituents. After the re election is secured a change comes over the average member of Congress and he does not care what ho does, In other words, he becomes indifferent. Mr. Tucker says he has consulted the friends of the Senate resolution with a view to amending it to conform to his Ideas, but he does not bolleve any action will be taken until the next session.

Representative Hewitt says be is heartily in favor of the proposed chango In tho inauguration day, and he is also la favor of changing tho time for the sitting of Congress, bo that the sessions would be more equally divided. He Bays thoro Is no reason why Congress should in one year romain In aosslon during June, July and porhapa August, and in the next year adjourn early In March. His Idea Is to meet on the first Monday In October, and remain in session each year until tho last of May. This would give Congress ample time to consider all the public business on an equal footing, as far as tlmo is concerned. Detroit's Sttill Club Heralded in Chi cngo by Admirers.

Stoarls, petitioned tho Board of AsJessors today for a reduction of the assessment of their personal property, which has been run up from $40,000 last year to $50,000 this year.

Specinl to tho Etigle.J Washington, July 8. Tho attack on Colloctor Hoddeu is kept up with groat persistence by tho Mugwumps and Civil Service reformers, assisted by Democratic opponents of tho Administration.

The Civil Sorvico Commission late last month demandod of the Now York Board of Examiners a report in regard to those chargeB. John M.

Comstock, then chairman of the board, replied with a long report, in the course of which he mado some severe oritlcism of the Hedden management. His report has not been made public, but It is understood to show that the Collector and Surveyor Boattio have ondoav ored to "stretch tho Civil Service law In order to enable them to make political appointments. The Democratic mombors of tho Board of Examinors, among whom are tho private secretary of the colloctor aud two deputy collectors, did not llko Mr. Comstock's report, and so have appointed a committee to prepare another answer to the commission.

Two Ladies who Propose to Sign a Minority Report Tlier Say the Inmates Not Come from the Sluni9. The trustees and a majority of the commit tee of Investigation that was asksd by the president, Dr. George F. Pentecost, to examine into the affairs of Faith Home, reported favorably on tho management of its matron. Miss Campbell.

Mrs. Manning and Mrs. Moses, of the Investigating Committee, have declined, howevor, to sign tlio paper and havo prepared a short minority report which they will not allow, at prosont, to bo published, but in which thoy declare that thoy conaider Misd Campbell unduly rigid In her discipline and rceeommotid that her powers be limited by a Visiting Committee. Thoy especially object to Dr. Pentocosi's declaration at the last annual meeting, that the inmates of the Home were taken from slums and tenements and that they had abundant reason for rejoicing iu tho fact that they had a good homo over their heads; tho fact being that most of the old ladios in tho Institution were formerly well to do, aud aro people of refinement and education.

They also cite tho case of an elderly woman who was obligod to use crutches la going about. Instead of giving her a room on one of tho lower doors that could be reached by her with comparative ease she was aasslgned by Miss Campbell to a room at the top of tho houso, with awlndow so far from the floor that she could never look out except by standing close to it and supporting herself on hor crutches. The minority report wUl probably be preseuted to Dr. Pentecost when no returns from Europe In the Fall. CHACON'S LAST DAY ON EARTH.

BETWEEN How a Tailor Loaded a Gun for Self Destruction. The Ponder Evidently Protected with Corks and the Barrel Filled with the Fluid The Startling Discovery Hade by Mrs. Hofllaeker A Ltmg Series of Bisfortunei Ending in Suicide. Julius Hofflacker sat, at 11 o'clock last night, In a rear room on the Becond floor of the three story brick building, 415 South Fourth street. Seatod with him wero his wife, his 18 year old daughter and three sous, being all of his family except three other children, who are marrlod and Hvo elsewhere.

The family group had boen conversing pleasantly together, but Hofflacker waa rather dispirited and did not talk much. Ho was at one time a prominent business man In tho Eastern District, but during the past twelve years had not only been unfortunate In business but bad been suffering from a complication of maladies which made life almost Intolerable. About twelve years ago ho had a sewing machine shop at 1)9 Scholos street and a tailoring establishment in Leonard streot, betweon Mesorolo and Scholos streets, omploying numerous hands, when his foreman, running away with worth of goods, destroyed him financially. Then camo sickness. About nine mouths ago his oyoslght became impaired and he underwent an operation whioh partially rolievod him.

About six months ago he undorwent another operation tho removal of a tumor. Latterly he had become troublod with insomnia. For some time past he continued, with tho aid of his wife and children, to carry on the tailoring business on Broadway, but four months ago he moved with them to South street Mrs. Hofflacker stated to an Eaole reporter to day the occurrences of last night and this morning: "We were about to retire," ihe said, "but my husband said that he felt so warm he would sit up a while. He had a German newspaper In his hand and proceeded to road it About 1 :30 o'clock this morning, finding that my husband had not retired, I rose and In going to the rear room, found that it was fastenod from the Inside.

I tried to open it; called to my husband but he did not answer, and then a horrible feollng took possession of me. I went down stairs, thinking that he might have gone to the stoop, where the air was cooler, but he was not there. Then 1 went back aud tried to open the door again, but in vain. Then I woke up the family and sent one of the little boys to get an officer. He could not find one, so we sent for my son In law, John Gohrhold, who lives In Bartlott street, and he brought two officers who broke In tho door and we found my huBbaud sitting in a chair at tho window dead." The reporter on going upstairs found seated In an arm chair at one ot the roar wlndowB tho body of a heavily beardod German, his body and lower limbs in a line and his head hanging over the back of tho chair; a doublo barreled cap fowling piece hold by both hands in a lino with his head, tho trigger near his right foot On the tablo beside the body were a glass funnol and a glass.

Tho oack of tho chair and about three feet above It was spattered with Hood and brains. Smaller spots and blood stains were found on the table. Tho loft side of the man's head was in a condition similar to that of a collapsed balloon all fallen in. He had evidontly placed tho muzzle of tho fowling pleco In his mouth and discharged tho contents into the loft portiou of his brain, blowlug off part of the crown of tlio skull. On the table was a scrap of paper lorn from tho flyleaf of a Bible, which also lay near it The paper contained a fow sentenoos In German in tho handwriting of the deceased.

This is the translation Thoso who have seon what I havo suffered from my eyes will learn to pity all others who are bo afflicted. Julius Hoi fi.ackkb. As neither ball nor she has been found, It Is inferred from tho presonce of the glass and funnel that tho deceased committed suicide by inserting close fitting corks over the powder aud filling tho barrels with water. Hofuaeker, it appears, was determined that nobody should iuterrupt him, for the door was found socurod by a strap, ono end Of which was fastened to the door knob and the other twisted around a stout walking caue, which was then firmly attached to a piece of furniture. He had also fastened down the windows, which wero open when the family retired.

Mr. Gehrhold says that the deceased belonged to the Ordor of Odd Fellows, the Germaula, tho Ancient Druids and some other bonevolent societies and that about a week ago thoy had reduced his allowance of sick relief one half and that, In his opinion, this being insufficient for his support he chafed at tho Idea of becoming a dependent on the earnings of his wife and children. He wa3 57 years old. Coroner Hesse has beon notified, but the Inquest will bo a mere formality, the case being plainly one of suicide. THE PARK AVENUE CABLE ROAD, be Built During the Summer and To Opened in November.

President Richardson was gratified to learn that his petition for building a cable road on Park avenue had beon granted by the Common Council nnd doclaros that If tho Mayor gives his consent work will bo begun at once. He said: Wo have everything ready to go ahead and will put down our tube and tracks on Park avenue from Washington street to Broadway during the Summer. We have the consent of tho property owners and expect tocomplote that section before November. The first thing to be doue Is to prove the road a perfect success for that distauco, about a mile and a half, and then iu the Spring we will comploto the five miles. It will cost $100,000 a mile Including the driving plant, but of courso the cost of tho first section will exceod that figure.

Within a year I hope to have the whole road completed and in successful operation." TEACHERS TO TAKE A HOLIDAY. The Arrangements for Their Excursion Already Completed. The teachers of the public schools of this city and tbclr friends start on a nine days' excursion on Saturday morning to Niagara Fails, tho Thousand Islands and Montreal, under the direction of Mr. T. H.

Mr. Whitney Defines His Position At a temperance mass meeting held in Dr.

Pontocost's Church Tuesday night a of flvo was appolntod to wait on the Mayor and present a resolution adopted at tho mooting calling for tho resignation of Excise Commissioners Cunningham and Schllomann. Mossrs. W. T. B.

Milll kou, John S. Stanton and Edwin P. Ide, of the commltteo, call on the Mayor at 11 o'clock to day aud presented tho resolution. The Mayor summoned the Commissioners before him, and for half an hour there was a very lively tilt between the committeemen and the Commissioners, the lnttor emphatically denying oil the oharges made against them. Mr.

Mllllkan began the discussion by stating the object of their visit, and In a modorate tono suggesting a way the Commissioners could romody the evils without making themselvos unpopular with the politicians and tho saloon keepers. He had said but littlo when Mr. Ide, who appeared as a substitute on the committee, Jumped Into tho discussion and said that the Commissioners had a moral responsibility In the matter which they could not shirk. They had no right to ignore the petition of three hundred citizens against a saloon and grant a license on tho of two or three citizens, as they did at tho corner of McDonough street and Reid avenue. Com.

Cunningham Wo never granted a license on petition of only three men. Mr. ide Thon call it thlrtoen men. In theoasa referred to there were only thirteen names on tho petition. You aro bound to respect tho right of citizens to petition.

On several occasions you havo refused to let uh soe potitions filed in your office in favor of granting licenses, and I protest against such action. Com. Schllemann We acted fn tho matter with advice of our counsel. Petitions are not public documents. Mr.

Alillikeu If the Ezclse Commissioners desire to restrict the number of saloons, they can do so without making invidious distinction in the caso of any Individual. You can make rules In conformity with the law. I have been a member of an excise board and have had experience In tho mattor. Pass a rulo that a person who has sold liquor without a license or has violated tho law in any way Is not a moral man, and to such you cannot give a llcouse. By adhering to auch a rulo you would soon decrease the numbor of saloons In this city and in such a way as not to make you or the administration unpopular witu any class of citizens.

Mayor Whitney Gentlomen, I have had several conferences with the Commissioners on this question, and I agroe with you that too many licenses have" been granted. The Commissioners Intend to correct the impression that has gono abroad in regard to tho matter by granting a less number In the future. There is no disposition to grant licenses indiscriminately, at least none on my part. Mr. Millikou Of course Mr.

Mayor you can't bo personally responsible for all that happens, but when you are told as wo hare been by Commissioner Schllemann that tho only way wo can prevout tho granting of a license is to buy the property, thon I think you havo a very grave responsibility In the matter. Mr. Ido (to tho Mayor) You wrote a letter to the commissioners asking them not to grant a certain license. They did grant the license and your lotter had no weight with them whatovor. Commissioner Schllemann No letter was sent to us by the Mayor; at least we roceivod none.

Tho Mayor I sent a letter asking the commissioners to come to my office. Sir. ide Well, your Influence bad no weight with the commissioners. The Mayor (to the Commissioners) It was understood at ono tlmo that that license should not be granted. Cora.

Schliemann I never made any promises to any ono. I voted for tnat license and am not ashamed of it The Mayor There is no intontion on the part of the authorities to outrage public sentiment In regard to the liquor question. Wo intend to faithfully enforce the law. 1 admit too many licenses have boon granted in the past Com. Schllomaun This is a growing city and the liquor business is an Industry that is not going to stand still.

Mr. We Wo Intend that It shall. Com. Schllemann You aud men like you go to oxtremes in this matter and causo a groat doal of unnecessary trouble. Mr.

Ide felt very much hurt at this insinuation, and attempted to show that ho was not an extremist "You roalgnod your momborahip in tho Republt cau General Committee, did you not? usked Commissioner Schilmaim. Mr. Ido I am Btill a mombor of that committee. What I Intend to do is a manor for the future. We are talking about tho past The most I have ever asked you to do is to obey the law.

Com. Schliemann You bring us good Droof that the law has not been obeyed and wo will rovoko the license. The Mayor Wo waut to strictly enforce tho law, and If it Is vlolaled we waut liconses revoked. I intend to have the granting of licenses restricted and have told tho Commissioners to time and timo again, and if they don't do so. I shall do my duty toward them.

Mr. Ido We say that Brooklyn neods no more licenses. Mr. J. S.

Stanton said that the Increase In the city's population was largely of the order loving people and not of tho drinking class, and therefore there was no domaud for more saloons because tho city had grown. Mr. Ide had another grievance. He complained because petitions which were presontod against a certain saloon did not hold in forco in the case of a saloon a block away. Ho contended that where a petition against the granting of a license was sent In, it should cover all applications for licenses within a radius of three or four blocks.

Prominent men and men of large wealth," continued Mr. Ido, "in this city say it is a dastardly outrage tho manner In which liconses have been granted in this city. They talk on the subject louder than I can." Commissioner Schllemann They can't talk any loudor than you can, Mr. Ide you aro a vory loud talker. The Mayor (to Commissioner Schliemann) If we havo done wrong.

John, kg must correct our mistakes. You know I told you so before. Mr. Mllliken and Commissioner Cunningham held a privnte conference while part of tho above conversation was going on. Mr.

Mllliken was very well pleased with the result of tho mooting and at the attitude taken by the Mayor. He said ho believed the tomperanco people would havo their rights respected In the futuro and that Mayor Whitney would be on their Bide. He asked the Mayor if the committee could report that he (the Mayor) was In favor of restricting the granting of further licenses, 'iho Mayor ropliod that his position was siated correctly. The genllemon then retired. AS AWKWARD PREDICAMEHT.

After being ar rostod some time since for non payment of alimony ho deposited $1,000 with the Sheriff as baiL 1 can't make any such ordor," said Justlco Dyk man; there is no law to compel a man to tako up a referee's report" "Butthowholo thing will lapse on Tuesday unless It Is filed," said Mr. Rodorick. If your Honor will grant an ordor compelling him to pay $333 a3 counsel fee, wo will tako up tho report and remit our feos rather than that the trial should prove abortive" Can't do it," replied tho Court The man only earns $18 a week. It must cost him $10 a week to live in Brooklyn and his wifoican havo tho other $8 a week as alimony." Mr. Rodorick was continuing his argument, stating that Mrs.

Van Shaik had no moans with which to take up tho report, when the Court closed the discussion with. Mr. Roderick, I like you very much and I like to hear you talk, but I shan't chango my ordor unless you can show by Monday next that the defendant has some more property."

Special to tho Engle.

Washington, 6. With reference to the explanations of tho Brooklyn Congressmen In tho House yestorday tho Post this morning says: "Tho explanations mado yesterday In Congress concerning the allegod abaonco of members who were officially recorded as having voted wore satisfactory to the gentlemen involved, to the Houbo and to the Pott, and will doubtless be satisfactory to tho public. One exeollont effect of tho talk has been to call attention to an abuse which has oxistod in the House for a generation and which ought to come to a ppoedy ond. It Is well known that mom bers have various methods of getting on record after tho close of tho official roll call. Ono method la for the member to riso in his place, allogo that ho wa3 in the House but did not hear his name called, and ask to be recorded.

The Speaker has naturally taken his word for it and amended tho record. Sometimes, when too late for oven this, members havo succooded In Inducing tho gentleman In charge of tho Official report to add their names as present aud voting, aud this has sometimes occurred after the house has adjournod and hours subsequent to the roll call, In which they desire to figure This last was a vicious bequest of tho old llepublican House, aud was a part of tho Republican machine. It is high time for this irregular voting to end absolutely, legislation cannot bo eafo If a member is freo to procure a record of a vote he did not cast in tho wayai.d atthotlmo prescribed by law. The vohi clo may sometimo be disastrously upsot if legislation bo driven with too freo a rein. Now, let us abandon Hopubllcan devices, rub out old scores and begin anew."

Mrs. Matthews Says that if Her Son in Coaricted it will Kill Her The Prisoner Declines to Waive Examination. Thomas Foran's driver, John Matthews, who was charged with attempting to assault Mrs. Theresa Boenzel on Saturday last while he was taking her to the County Hospital, was arraigned for examination before Justice Sherlock in East New York at 10 o'clock this morning. He was represented by Counsellor Armstrong, while Assistant District Attorney Maguire appeared for the people.

A telegram which had been received by Detective Kortright from Doctor Arnold, of tho hospital. stated that Mrs. Boenzel was too weak to leave her bed. "Will your Honor fix the amount of ball asked Counselor Armntroag. "Your Honor has uo power to take ball In a case of this kind," said Assistant District Attornoy Ma guire.

"I thluk it had better be adjournod." "I understand from the detective that thore Is nothing lu this case," said counsel for defense. "I will be willing to go to the woman's bodside and got hor tostimony." I am not in favor of that," said Mr. Maguire, "and I thluk that wo will prove to you that there Is something In this case. The way this man treated Mrs. Boonzel is outrageous." "Is thoro no way that 1 can have my client bailed," asked Hr.

Armstrong. Lot him waive examination," suggested Mr. Magulto. "I don't Intend to do that," retorted counsel. Tho case was finally adjourned for a week and Matthews was taken to tho County Jail.

I can hardly boliovo that the young man is 'said tho magistrate aftorward to an Eaole reporter. He doesn't seem to bo a man who would do anything of that kind. Tho woman who was assaulted on November 2 3, 1833, by Richard Curran aud Thomas Bowler, while they were taking her to the county hospital, lived in the same neighborhood as Mrs. Boenzel, aud if I am not mistaken, in the same house. Since Matthows' arrest, a number of men who are well known in this town, have given It as their opinion that, that as Mrs.

Boenzel knew of tho former occurrenco, tho subject no doubt camo to her mind and in her weak condition she imagined that she had gone throujh the same ordeal. Matthews' mothor called upeu me this morning and said that her son knew of the exploit of Curran and Bowles and that he knew what would be the result If he attempted anything of the kind. 'It will kill me, tho same as it did Mrs. Curran, who died a few weeks after her sou's she sai'L 1 also learned from hor that Curran, who was sentenced for ton years, hat lately diod in prison." Counselor Armstrong Informod tho reporter that he would apply to tho Supreme Court for a writ of habeas corpus. He held that his client should be examined at onco.

Acting under Instructions from the Secretary of tho Navy Captain Clark, of the Provisions and Clothing Department, removed olghteon offensive partisans to day, and Chief Engineer Roble tent home twenty. Mr.

McCartney, of New York; William A. Furey and John Hamilton wore on baud this morning to see that these suspended employes really left the yard for good. Contractor Donovan, Tim Campbell's right hand man, was also present to convince Constructor Pookand Chief Engineer Robio that they must mako room for a dw moro Now Yorkers. The names of those removod from the Provisions and Clothing Department could not be procured, as it is against the rule to give them to tho press. Soveral of the heads lopped oft In the steam engineering department are those of a few old machinists.

The names of a fow aro given Johu Yates, D. D. Davis, John Hare, John Hempflll, Daniel Ruddlmau, Daniel Dwyer, Jamos M. Luce and Thomas Grogan. No men have yet roporlod to fill these vacancies, but Mr.

Furey will will soe to it that good Brooklyn Democrats come in for a good share of the patronage. The biggest Burprlso of all was the rumor that Chief Clerk Wilkinson had beon removod from the steam engineering department. Ho was suspended on the 1st of July and says that the Secretary of tho Navy Is tho only man who can reinstate him. Mr. Wilkinson says his appointment was a personal favor bestowed on him by tho Secretary.

It was understood In the yard to day that Mr. Wilkinson had become secretary of the Buffalo Bill Wild West troupe. Mr. Cody offered him the place about two weeks ago. Mr.

Wilkinson is a Democrat and belongs to the Twonty flfth Ward. Ho is in good circumstaucos and cares little about Government patronage. WONG SING BOW'S WIFE. Denies that She Ever Invert With She Trackman John Fopp. The case of John Popp, a truckman, of 1,236 Myrtle avonuo, who was accused of stealing 1300 worth of furniture from Wong Sing Bow, a Chinese laundrymau, of 1,772 Fulton street, was heard in Justice Keuna's court this morning.

The Chinaman testified that on November 23 last his wife aud tha defendant removed his furniture while he was out to 1,331 Myrtloavenuo. Sovoral wltnessos corroborated tho testimony, and then William Murphy, 19 years old, of Tonth avenue and Thirty first street, New York, swore that ho had seen Bow's parlor suit in Popp's house: I have seen Popp and Mrs. Bow together at the Broooklyn Bridge Hotel, on Park row," said the witness. They registered there as man and wife. I was at the hotel tho same night.

Mrs. Bow is my cousin." The Uofondant in his own behalf testified that he moved tho furniture for Mrs. Bow, and was paid for the work. Ho had nevor been out with Mr. Bow, aud had never visited the Brooklyn Bridge Hotel.

On tho cross examination he admilto 1 that he had visited a lady friend in New York iu company with Mrs. Bow and Murphy. Mrs. Bow paid him for everything he did. Mrs.

BoV, a prepossessing woman of 27, testified: "My bUBband left homo for three weeks; he loft mo In company of four Chinamen; I concluded to move, and engaged Popp; my husband knew that I was going to move; 1 went to Coney Island a number of timos, but always returned before eight o'clock at night; I never llvod with defendant, and don't know where the Brooklyn Bridge Hotel la" Justlco Kenua discharged the accused. TIMELY TALK. Captain Ward ThinKs There Is too ITI lie It Koian About Veterans. Captain J. Ward There's rather too much noise about this veteran business.

I saw as much of the war as most of them, but I notice that tho lods who are shouting loudest for offices and privileges and who prato of their sorvlces to tholr country, and put in bills for pensions have no gray hairs, aud If you ask tho names of their regiments you will find that they wero doing police duty for thirty days around Washington. Picture Dealer Knight Tho picture auction business is doad. A dealer who had to put Into It, and could get a representation from the best artists, might make it go, but I think thero will be no more of It for a long timo. Low prices produce Inferior pictures and iuforior pictures bring low bids. Carleton Wiggins What Is going to become of the Brooklyn Art Association? If thoy havo no exhibition iu the Fall thoy might almost as well die.

I think tho success of an art institution that is managed outlroly by the laity is very doubtful. NO STRIKE AMONG THE PAINTERS, Though tho Bosses Withdraw from tho Agreement Hatting Eight Hours a Day's Work. The statement in a morning paper to tho effect that 1,000 Journeymen palmers In the Eastern District had struck because of tho abandonment of the eight hour system by the bosses Is erroneous. The boss painters at a recent meetlnc decided to abandon the eight hour system at $2.75 per day and adopt the hour plan at 30 cents por hour. The men objoct to this and want the bosses to stand by tho agreement made in Juno.

Progressive Painters' Union No. 4, of the Eastern District, held a meeting last night and decided to follow whatever action Is taken by Progressive Palntors' No. 8, of the Western District. The latter will hold a meetlug to morrow evening. It Is strongly hlntod by members of the Journeymen's Union that co oporatlve stores will be Instituted.

Tho bosses laugh at the Idea of co oporatlvo stores aud say thoy cannot bo made a success. No action will be taken by tho men until after the meeting to morrow night. BURGLARS AT GREAT HKCK.
