To an Eagle reporter Chief Clerk Thomas Wilkinson, of the Steam Eugineorlng Department at tho Navy Yard, said this moruing: "I doslro to correct the slanderous reports published In many pperB ou Saturday concerning tho trouble 1 hod with tho Sheriff. It was stated that I had obtained goods from a New Y'ork firm on false pretense. Tho facts ot tho case are that a misunderstanding aroso between the firm and mysolf over tho purchase of a bill of goods and a lawsuit resulted. Pending nn appeal I was required to furnish bonds not to leave tho Stato until tho matter was decldod.

This Is simply the regular proceedings In a civil suit and there is no false pretense or anything criminal in the affair. I can only attribute the erroneous reports published to parties desiring my removal from the Nary Yard and will say there are not enough of thom to drive me off the earth. I also wish to say tbe Hon. Secretary of the Navy personally reappointed mo to my position Wodnosday last when I was In Washington.

Mr. Pugsley was seon at his homo at night and asked why he had not attondod the fuuoral.

He Bald Oh, I had no Intention of doing bo. I engaged an undertaker to do the Job and then had no more to do with It I think my duty reBted there, as I had done all I could for ray brother." Will you explain why you so totally noglected your brother when you knew that he was sick, impoverished and alone I have not Been my brother In twelvo yoars, when at his request, had him sent to Bcllevue Hospital for treatment We never were good friends, but I did not know that he was in actual need, and 1 do not think that ho was either. Somo days ago I heard that he was sick and sent a man to soe him and to give him help If needed. That was the last I heard of him until Friday afternoon, when a young man In my office brought a telegraphic message to my house from Mr. Jeffries, of tho Domestic Spring Bed Company, announcing Henry's death.

Then Detective Price came to see mo about tho disposition of tho body. Ho was dressed In citizen's clothos and said that he was a detective, but 1 thought that ho was an agent for somo undertaking establishment. Y'es, I did tell him that the city could bury the body. I thought that he wanted to get tho Job." "Did you not aay that you did not know anything about your brothor, that you did not want to and that you would not bury his body 1" "Well, I suppose somo such expressions did escape me while I was agitated by the man's presence. I was not on good terms with my brother; no better than I could be with a man of his character and habits." "What do you mean by that; was he a drunkard?" "No; but he was shiftless and untrustworthy.

When ho became of ago he ran through his propertya farm in Dutchess County, which his father, a farmer, had given him. Ho also got into trouble with his father about soma forgod papers. Thoro was nothing good in him and I had nothing to do with him." What havo you to say about tho note in his memorandum book, in which he said that your heartlosBne8S made him laugh?" "He was always humorous, and when a boy always mndo fun of me. His fun ran into sarcasm. thought, however, that he had outgrown that when he became a man." Have you anything more to Bay In extenuation of the position you took "No, sir, nothing, excopt that I think that I did all I could for my brother.

I had no intention of attonding the funeral, and did not do so." DRAG NETS USED To Bring Up a Boy Who was Not Drowned.

Master Crcrend nnd his friend took a swim, aud tho latter came out first and mado his toilet, afler which ho looked around but failed to see his companion in the water or ashore. Half an hour later tho boy concluded that he had been drowned and lost no time tn conveying tho intelligence to Mr.

and Mrs. Crerend. When the first paroxysm of grief was over Police Hcadquartors was visited and a goneral alarm sent out to all the precincts, but Captain Brennanof the Clymer street station received a special roquest to Investigate the drowning story. Ho could obtain no definite information, so a half dozen of his officers procured nets and dragged tho canal over and over again but without finding any human body. Naturally the unusual action of tho police attracted a large crowd aud hundreds of amateur divers offered to aid In tho search, but their services were declined with thanks.

When tho officers stopped work tho youths resumed the search. A policeman captured a couple of them, but they tearfully plcade 1 with him that thoy woro only searching for the drowned boy and were permitted to part with a warning. During the evening the police UBod tho drag nets and were yet nt work with them when Captain Bronnan was notified through Police Headquarters at 10:30 P. M. that Master Crerend had arriveil home and had given a satisfactory account of bimself.

Ho had no Intention, ho Is credited with saying to his father, of going West to scalp Indiaus, nor did he hare any hostile designs on Bullalo Bill's actors. DID TTIEY GO AWAY TOGETHER? A Butcher's Aimlntanl nnd a Waitrcs Dianppoar. Leopold Hcymau keeps a butcher store nt 553 avonue. For three year3 or more he has had an assistant named Arthur Hollonfor, a native of Saxony, who is about 22 years of ago.

Heyman has learned that HoIIenfor had been collecting bills, and as far as ho could learn ho had taken at least $100 away with him.

SLOW IK CLOSING HIS SAL005.

Peter McArdle wob slow in closing up hie liquor Btoro at the corner of Wythe avenuo and Rodney street last Saturday night, and Officer Nloh. ols, of tho SlxtoontU Treclnct, finding it opon at 12:15 o'clock, entered charge to that effect against him at the Clynier street station home. A Caso Dccidnd.by tbe niipreme Court, General Term. Henry M. Birkett, a lawyer, brought suit against the Knickerbocker Ice Company to recover damages for the loss of his child.

The plaintiff recovered a verdict and the General Term has affirmed tho Judgment, Judge Cullen writing the opinion. Tho caso presents some Interesting points. In the course of his opinion Judge Cullen says: The most serious question Is the contributory nogligenco of tho deceasod. Beleg non sui juris she could not be charged with personal negligence, though the negligence of the parents in Buffering her to bo iu a place of danger would bo Imputed to her. To have suoh negligence defeat tho action the clflld Itself must be guilty of what would be negligence In an older person.

Both theso elements must exist and the trial Judge correctly charged. The excoptlon to the chargo In this respect was therefor not well taken. But a motion waB mado to dismiss the complaint at the close of tho plaintiff's case and it is necessary to examine the evidence In those respects to see If it is plain that, as a matter of law, negligence on tho part of both parent and child existed. The accident happened on an August afternoon. The mother lot tho child go out on the sidewalk, in company with her brother, a child of some six years.

Some half hour afterward, whilo attempting to cross the street alone, the child was Injured. We think it cannot be said, ns a matter of law, that the mother was neglU gent in letting the child thus go out on tho stroet. Though tho child was assumed on both sides to be non sui juris, still, at four and ono half years it had some little intelligence; an Intelligence which, though slight, Is enough' to Bare tbe great mass of city children of her ago, whose sole place for air and recreation is the sidewalk, from peril or injury. Tho deceased was not allowed to go unattended the brother, six years old, was sent with her. The child had not remained out so long that care on the mother's part would noces: arily have warned her that tho child was alono.

In a populous city one driving a vehicle must always be ou tho alert to discover foot passengers, and ospocially to look for children. Tho case is a close ono, but on the whole we think the question was properly loft to tho Jury as a question of fact, and that the motion for a non suit was rightly denied. It was not an error for the Court to refuse to chargo tho Jury that tho damages should be restricted to loss of Borvlce during minority. This action Is not for loss of services. Such au action could not be maintained where death ensued.

This action is based on the statute If the deceased had been of full age so that the plaintiff had no right to her services this action would He, and the measure of damago would be the whole pecuniary loss occasioned by her death. That the deceased was an infant does not change tho measure of damages. The Judgment should be affirmed with coBta. For plaiutiff, James Troy; Tor defendant, Maolay Forest, A. Stickney, of counsoL HELD FOR THE GRAND JURY.

Cbarlea Willlamu Charged With Passing a Forged Check. Charles Williams, a colored man, was arraigned before Justice Walsh this morning charged with passing a forged check for $10 on Andrew A. Bone, paying toller of tho National City Bank. The check which was drawn to the order of Williams was signed with the name of James J. Fogarty.

Williams told Judge Walsh that he had received the check from a young man at Conoy Island for money loaned and asserted that ho had told Mr. Bone so. Tho latter donied this. Williams was hold for the Grand Jury. FIGHTING A TAX A Mow Phase of the Huntington Opposition.

Justiee Cullen Doesn't Want to Listea to an Elaborate Discussion Insisting' that I)oss Figure en the Assessment Rolls. A country lnwyer, not quito accustomed to tho practice of tho Supremo Court, appeared before Justice Culleu this morning and proposed to elaborately discuss the subject of the dog tax, on a motion for an order to show cause. There Is no occasion for au argument, said Justice Cullen. I will grant you an order to show cause why a mandamus should not Issue, on your papers," But I want your Honor to hear both sides of the law first," persisted the attorney, who was quite cool, being accustomed to tho torrid temperature of Huntington. Time onougb for that on tho argument for the mandamus," said the Court, who then called the next cause, against the protest of tho lawyer.

Tho trouble at Huntington, as gathered from the papers In tho caso, seems to be that tho Local Board of Huntingdon has so far modified the State dog tax as to add to it, An Act to promote the socurity of sheep." The "act" provides for a tax, sets forth tho price of tho dog collar, says that the tax shall bo collected with tho county tax, and that non payment of the dog tax shall constitute a misdemeanor, punishable by a flno of $10 or thirty days' Imprisonment. Time Is cheap In Huntington. This Is tho only case on Long Island whore non payment of the dog tax is a misdemeanor. Mr. Van Wyok's daughter owns a masliff and ho was recently summoned bofore a Justice as Its owner for tho non payment of the tax.

Now Miss Van Wycfc engages her father as hor attorney and wants a mandamus to compel tho Board of Assessors to annex to tho list of real and personal estate tho name of each dog taxed, with romarks aud tho name of the owner. The order was made returnable on Friday. Miss Van Wyck'a lawyer insists that hi3 daughter's dog must be taxed under the Stato and not under the local law. DEAD A.U0.VG THE BUSHES.

He said that he went to tho Haymarket in person to give absolute orders provided ho found tho occasion Warranted it. Ho desirsd to giro tho orders in person If necessary.

He arrived shortly after the tpeaklng had commenced. Ho heard only a few ot the remarks made by Spies. He hoard a portion of Parsons' speech. Ho said ho thought Spies noticed his presence there. Mayor Harrison said ho thought from tho tenor of Splos' spoech that It was loading up to a point that would compel him to interfere With the meeting when Spies nppoarod to notice tho wltnoss.

While ho was prosont Mayor Harrison said lie hoard nothing from Parsous which seemed to call for his official intervention. Tho portion of Spies' spoooh which attracted his attention as incendiary, were his queries as to why tho polico had been assembled Why the militia had boon called to their armories?

AMEKICAM LAND.

Foreign million Invented What Coif (Trees Iffas Stopped. Special to the Eagle.1 Washington, August 2. A. B. Wood, United States Consul at llundoe, Scotland, has forwarded to tho Department of State a comparatively full and interesting account of Eog lisa corporations doing business in the United Statos.

Ho says: "The companies are elthor trust, investment, mortgage and land companies or cattle and land companies. Tho former are concerned with investments in land, railway and mu Dlciapl securities; tho latter with Investments in cattle ranches and in raising and soiling cattle. The land and cattle companies in the United Kingdom operating In tho United States hold In fee simple 2,016,683 acres, and by lease 1, 155,796 acres. Thoir dividends In 1883 averaged ovor 8 per cent, hut fell to only a littlo over i per cont. in 1SS5.

Tho causes of this decline are found In tho rapid growth of capital In the United States and tho gradual decline In the rate of intorest which has occurred all ovor the world. Mr. Wood submits a table giving a Hit of no leas than forty two trust investment and mortgage eompnnles, with nn aggregate authorized capital of more than doing buslnoss In this coun try.EJOuo of thesj, tho American Froo Hold Land Mortgage Company of London paid 10 per cent, dividonds for 1683, 1834 and I8K3.

The Scottish Amoricttn Mortgage Company of Edlngurgh paid 15 per cent, for lb'Kl and 1881 ami a partial dividend of fl per cent, for 1883. The action of CongresB in reference to alien landlordism will prevent tho formation of any more land and cattle companies abroad. A CRASH AT CLYDE. (Serious Wreck on (ho Central Itoa Tliis Morning.

After referring to the manner in which thoy shall proceed with the business to be brought beforo them, he mado roference to the Squire matter, saying: Iwish to draw your especial attention to a subject now agitating the attention of the public. Grave charges have beon mado against a certain public official. It being olaimed that from corrupt, wicked and willful motives a public office has beon handod over to a contractor, this contrnotor, as ia claimed, being the actual head of tho office, the other being only Iu nominal possession. The doportment, according to common reports, has been in the hands of this contractor for some time, and he hits had power to give himsolf contracts and discharge aud appoint men, so that substantially tho office has boen in the hands of a man who has carried it on in a manner no doubt antagonistic to the welfare of the city and its taxpayers. Tho question of the truth or falsity of tho charges Is for you to pass upon.

I cannot. If it is true that this department was handed over, as it is stated, It was there has been a most wicked and criminal act committed, which demands prompt action through your hands. Other Investigations into tho charges are being made, but this need not retard you in taking stops. Tho Mayor's investigation is to determine whether or not removals from office shall be mado. Your Investigation will bo to decide whether or not a criminal law has been violated.

If thoro has been you must bring the guilty party or partiei boforo this tribunal. If you find thoso charges of corruption to bo well founded you will thou make Investigation as to all who were concerned In it aud present them all at this bar by Indictment, for all aro equally guilty. You will have timo to tnko this matter up and investigate it thoroughly. The cry of corruption I corruption I Is to be hoard too frequently of late. It is a stain upon the good character and namo of our great uity.

Every man who Is fouud guilty of corrupt nets in public office should speedily receive his Just punishment and be undorgoing imprisonment thirty days aftor being found guilty. Until punishment in such casos follows quickly our good name will sink so low as to bo in utter obloquy. 1 hope, however, lhat it will turn out that thoro is nothiug in theso charges. It is always best that a public official should come out of a trial with cleau Bkirts, and I hope that you will come to the conclusion that this matter is ono which should never havo been brought to your notice. If any grave questions of law should arise during your investigation tho District Attorney's office is opon to you, and you may look as well to the court for information."

Why Mrs. Harrison Seeks to be Divorced. Sbe Thought Her Husband a Gentleman When He Came Courting and He Imagined Her to be Rich. Mrs. Henrlette Harrison, a lady well known In Brooklyn society, has revived an old divorce eult against Frank B.

Harrison, a tailor's cutter employed by August Brothers, 612 Broadway, New York. Mr. Zlmrl W. Butcher will move for alimony and counsel fee In tho New York Supremo Court in a fow days. Mrs.

Harrison's fathor was Henry Brlnkerhoff, of Jamafea, who died some twenty years since. He was a llnoal descendant of the first Brlnkerhoff who emigrated from Holland to yo Village of Breuoklyno. Like his ancestors, he was endowed with that thrift and industry common to the early Dutch Bottlers, as a result of which so many of their descendants are now classed among the wealthiest In tho land. The Brlnkerhoff estate was valuable, but the heirs have considerably lessened Its worth by lawsuits. Some are yet pending, in which portions of Henry BrinkerhoiTs proporty are concerned, and tho value of Mrs.

HarrlBon's sharo still enveloped In mystery and lawsuits. In tho Summer of 1866 a dashing youug gentleman made his appoarance In Jamaica. He set the maidens Haltering like a covay of flushed partridges. He came from the city," was tall, well built and endowed with good looks and had graceful and easy manners. The country belles set their capB at him.

Ho was introduced everywhere, though who was his original social sponsor remained unknown. A delightful mystery surrounded him. He was certainly very wealthy that was conceded. Ho was a military man, an officer, that too was conceded, as was the fact that he was traveling on ox tended leave. Of his own military prowess he rarely spoko and his modcBty restrained him from oven mentioning to what regiment ho belonged.

IIo settled down to a siege of Henriotte Brlnkerhoff. She was a beautiful girl, with raven black hair and oyes. Sho Is yot, at 41 years of ago, a handsome woman. Mr. Brlnkerhoff had not long been dead and Henriotte, 21 jjears of age, was installed as mistress of the Jamaica homestead.

Tho local reports about tho Brlnkorhoff ostate greatly magnified it and Henrietta's share of it. Frank B. Harrison, tho Lothario, who had set all the mothers of ollglbles on tho qui vlve, captured tho prizo and brought Houriotte to Brooklyn, whoro thoy wero uulted In marriage by Dr. Searlos on December 3, lbTiO. Henrlette brought witli her from Jamaica several thousand dollars.

Frank Harrison brought his gorgeous attlro and his mystery. For throe weeks thoy boardod in Brooklyn, tbe bridegroom scattering his wife's money right aud left. At the commencement of tho fourth wook tho glamor began to wear off. Mrs. Harrison obtained several glimpsos at her husband's inner self and life, and found that his attractiveness was only a thin veneer.

Harrison, too, made a discovory. The vast fortune lie had supposed his wife possessed turnsd out to be only a modorale competency, nnd even that was Involved In a network of lawsuits. Ono day ho vanished, and Mrs. Harrison wob left to repont nt leisure. Sho llvod with friends for sevoral months, and finally heard rumors that Harrison had captivated another heiress named Sarah Roton.

Sho next heard that her husbaud had dropped tho military role, and had secured a position in an artist's studio on Eighth avenuo, Now Y'ork The wronged wifo went to him and charged him with the second marriage, which he denied flatly. A fow days lator, to hor surprise he callod upon hor in Brooklyn with a pitiful tale. He was Involved in a business difficulty, and with a woman. Uuloss she would admit that sho had no claims upon him, he was liable to be sent to Stato's prison. Of particulars he gave noue, but begged and entreated hor to meot the other woman, and, to save him from prlsony repudiate any claim upon him.

If she would do this ho would return to her and bo a faithful husband ever after. Mrs. Harrison, still under tho Infatuation, yielded, and mot two ladles by appointment. Ono of these claimed to bo Harrison's wifo, and asked Mrs. Harrison what claim she had upon him.

She replied that sho had none, and tho parties separated. This was barely four months aftsr her marriage. Sho did not seo or hear of Harrison after that for many years. To support herself she obtaiued, by Influence of friends, a position as teacher, for which sho was well qualified by a liberal oducatlon and great natural ability. Since then sho has continued teaching, and has established for herself tho reputation of an earnest devoted woman, well known for hor charity and deeds of kindness.

Both for her personal qualities and her family connections, she is well received among tho best of the oldor nnd wealthier families of tho city. Ilavlug heard nothing of hor husband for a longtime except that ho had married Miss Koton, Mrs. Harrison commoncod a suit for divorce, which was never tried. Three or four years ago she was summonod as a witness In a suit for divorce commenced by a lady nt HackenBack, who also claimed to bo Mrs. Harrison.

Harrison had lived with her sovoral yours as her husband, and whon sho dlscovored his former adventures she sued for and obtained her divorce. Mrs, Harrison has recovered the greater part of the money obtained from her and now recommences her suit for a divorce. Tho summons aud complaint has oeen served upon. defendant, was recently discovered working as a tailor's' cutter, but no answer has been filled.

ROCKAWAY'S CATHOLIC CHURCH. Why the New Edifice ia Not Mitel to Bo Jjibcraliy Supported. Through the energetic efforts of llov. Fathor l'arloy, of Jamaica, a Homan Catholic church is being erected ou Kockaway Beach. The project, however, is not so popular as it was a month ago.

Then tho Catholic population was heartily In favor of it and subscribed liberally. Now it would as soon no church wore built. Tho reason is that tho site selocted is very remote from tho center of Summer habitation, boiug at tho eastern end of tho boach, whore some speculators aro trying to establish a village, and it is assorted that thoy aro using tho church onterprlso to help thoir schemo along. Sovoral of tho Catholic subscribers to the building fuud havo refused to pay, aud they say that in the Winter season, when thoro are no trains running, no one will go to tho far away church aud there will bo no support for the priest. The Protestant population, which Is also building a church, has been more fortunate In the choice of a Bito, which Mrs.

Holland donated near the station boaring her name. Jilt. BELMONT'S OITON'EXT. Ex Senator JamcH Otis (he I'robtiblc Republican Nouiiaoc. The present outlook iu the politics of Queens County is that the Hon.

Sherman, the South Brook lyn Catholic priest, who wasou the night of Juno 14 marrlod to Mlsa Tllllo McCoy, of 12 Douglass street, has not left Brooklyn as has been generally Bupposod excopt to make a short wedding trip. He remnind In Boston ono week aud then returned to this city with his bride. They were received by tho vnumr mnu'i uncle. Andrew A. Joyce, who has a real estate office at 781 Allantice avenuo, aud resides with his family at S58 Atlantic avenuo, and were lnvitod to make the Joyce reBidenco thoir homo.

The invitation was promptly accepted, and the young husband, hnvlng abandoned his priestly calling by violating his vow of celibacy, partially adopted that of clork to a real estate agent. Mr. Joyce Informed two of his particular friends In tho strictest conndonco that the priestly bridegroom was an inmate of his houso, and at times acted as a clerk in his office. The two particular friends, of course, imparted the secret confidentially to other particular friends and it was not long bofore the secret became in that neighborhood a decidedly open one, and the excitement and indignation of the Catholic residents whon thoy loarnod or it grew at fovor heat and steadily Increased with every hour. Au Kahi.e reporter attempted to And Mr.

Joyce at his ofiico to day but could not. He was out collecting rents and asthoofflcowns locked It seemed as though his prieslty clork was no longer in his oniploy. Then tho reporter visitod Mr. Joyce's home ft few blocks farthor up the avonuo. A girl stood chatting with a young man at tho door.

Did Mr. Sherman rosido there 1 Sho really could not say. Her questioner might ascertain, she said, by inquiring inside, and she stood aside to pormit him to pass through tho open door. "Ask on the first lloor," she said, and tho reporter followed her Instruciions. A dcor wis partially opened In response to his rap, und a pretty and Intelligent young lady asked tho reporter's errand, no wished to seo Mr.

Sherman. Tho girl said with omphaBis, He does not livo liore," but aftor a short talk she said he had boen there but had gone with his wife. Sho bolioved ho had left the house last Tuesday and knew nothing of his present whereabouts. Hor father was out and would not bo home until evening. The y.iuug lady was courteous, but not inclined to bo communicative.

Fathor Sherman, or Mr. Shorman as ho is now callod, had really loft tho house, not on Tuesday, as Miss Joyce had said, probably throngh a failure to recollect suddenly tho precise night of his do Thursday. Last Tuesday a small and angry crowd stood In front of Joyce's houso and threatened tho young Catholic priest and his bride. The next night tho crowd was larger aud more disposod to bo violent. On Thursday night they hooted, yolled and shouted Lynch the turncoat, "Kill them both," and the people who are protecting him," liuru down tho Iioubc," otc.

Mr. Joyce and his family felt anything but comfortable, and finally Joyce told Sherman that he would havo to leave, but Sherman said that ho dared not take his wife out to fnce the angry mob. ThouJoyco rushed out and hailod tho first policeman he met. The officer escorted Mr. and Mrs.

Sherman, followed by a hooting crowd, to tho Funklin avenuo rnpid transit station and put thorn aboard tho car. They wont directly to the houso of some friends near the city line, and at that houso they still remain, A friend of tho Joyce family said Father Sherman, at tho proper time, will Join the Protestant Episcopal Church. Tllllo MoCoy's fathor was an Episcopalian and Tlllle and her sister have always been Episcopalians at heart. Tillio's young sister Is now with Mrs. Joyce, iier father's sinter.

I know that TiVHo has alroa ly insisted upon her husband Joining tho Episcopal church as soon as possible. Of course ho cannot remain a Catholic, for no Catholic parish would receive him. Tllllo McCoy's aunt, who resides at tho McCoy homo, in Douglass street, Bald this afternoon, when a reporter convoyed to her tho above statement: "Yes, Tllllu's fathor was an Episcopalian, but ho died in tho Catholic Church. Til lie and her Bister were baptized Catholics and have always boon Catholics. But the doors of this house aro closed against Tillie and that man forever.

I do not know anything about their becoming Episcopalians, but I do not believe that any Episcopal minister would have over consented to marry them.

Ex Judge James Troy has filed his report in the suit of George Lorey against Frank Hall and Ephruim D. Slater. Tho action was roferred to him last June.

Thoy neglected to summon any ono to hold it Loroy attempted to descend and tho ladder slipped.

Ho came down with a crash. He was quite severely Injured and brought suit against tho rink mauagers for damages. Tho referee finds that while the lo fondanta wero reprehenaibly negligent as to tho means furnished for exit from tho gallery, tho plaintiff was guilty of contributory nogligenco In that, while well knowing tho danger, he attempted to uso it without taking proper precautions. He finds therefore as conclusion of law that Judgment should be given to the defendant. Tim.NOTO KEF.OUE A PRISONER.
