CABLE NEWS FKOM EtJEOPE POINTED AND PERSONAL, A Bather Warm Debate Between Park Commissioners. Judge Dully Cast Suspicion Upon His Biff Jump From the Bridge. Judge Duffy took a second turn at investigating tho case of Lawrence M. Donovan, the bridge Jumper, yesterday afternoon, having In tho morning held tho adventurous follow for further hearing. The Tombs was filled with friends of the Jumper.

Richard K. Fox, proprietor of the Police Gazette, and William E. Harding, sporting editor of that paper, were present and employed Counselor Frank Oliver, who appeared for Brodle, to defend Donovan. Judge Duffy was disposed to ridicule tho whole affair and said: "This fellow wanted to excel Brodie, and thinks he'B going to bo a great flero. He's going to pose In some dime nuseum or side show as a hero." He then questioned Bridge Policeman Fitzglbbons, who could not say that Donovan had Jumped from the bridge.

His attention was attracted by a number of vehicles stopping on their way over the bridge, while their drivers gazed down into the water. Train Conductor Michael GUroy said that he saw two pairs of legs between the tires of an Adams express wagon and that one of tho pairs disappeared from view over the side of the bridge. Ho saw no person Jump and consequently he could not recognize the prisoner. "Did you see him hang by his hands and lot himself drop 7" Asked Judge Duffy of tho policeman. "No." "Did any one see him Jump "No," replied both the officer and the conductor.

"Then what Is thero to show that this man Donovan Is not a fraud. He may havo got a few men to get in a boat and row out under the bridge and had hi3 friends to mako a great ado and say that a man had Jumped from the bridge and they had gouo to his rescue. My opinion Is that ho never Jumped from the bridge, I think it's a ruse, a subterfuge and a fraud." Donovan then said that he did make the Jump and the Justice promptly ordered tho policeman to prefer a charge against the prisoner of impeding the traffic on the bridge. An affidavit was made out, based ou Donovan's admission that "he Jumped from the bridge into tho East River and thereby caused an obstruction of vehicles on the bridge." Whon tho caso was again brought to bar Justice Duffy reiterated the opinion that tho man was a frand. "But," said he, this thing of Jumping off high places, going over cataracts at Niagara, etc, by loons, must be stopped We read of them doing these things in tights, in barrels and wanting to drop from balloons.

There is no heroism in this Jumping. These men pander to tbe morbid taste now prevalent and livo in idleness. Look at this big loafer, that ought to be breaking stones or sawing wood. This thing Is a craze. A brave man would not do it It is simply brute courage that prompts it and no one but an addle pated loon, without an ounco of brains in his head, would undertake it If I were to let this man go seven or eight other loons would try to do better than ho is said to have done.

Some other fellow would dive off and another fellow would put himself In an India rubber bag and bo thrown off. I am in the notion to send you to the island for tlx months as a vagrant, so that you would be where you couldn't harm yourself or anybody else. As It is, I'll line you $10 for having Interrupted the travel on the bridge." Thank you," said Donovan, extending his hand toward the Justice. I don't want to shake hands with you," said Justice Duffy. 1 don't think you're a hero at all, even If you did Jump as you pretend." Richard K.

Fox paid the fine, and Donovan walked out of court considerably crestfallen. THE ATHENEUM. lriany Changes made In the Auditorium During tUe Summer the Summer months the Atheneum, Clinton street and Atlantic' avenue, has beon renovated throughout, and will open the middle of September, for" tho season. The manager, Ira II. MoorO1, will entertain his friends and tho officers of the various, local amateur societies with a complimentary performance to be given at the.

house on or about September 1. Ou this occasion will bo presented the five act drama, entitled "Love's Sacrifice," with Mr. Moore tbe loading character, Mathow Elmoro. During his twenty years' experience on the amateur Btage, Mr. Moore has performed such characters as Jack Cade, Richelieu, Shylock and others of a kindred nature.

He will be supported by a picked cost of local amateurs. Tho most Important change made in the auditorium of the Atheneum consists in the placing of 500 new orchestra chairs on the ground floor to take the place of tho benches formerly used. The chairs are of the most approved stylo, having receptacles for hats underneath. They are portable and can bo removod and tho floor cleared for dancing. A generous supply of paint has so transformed tho interior of tho house that even its habitues would now hardly rocogzlzo it New storm doors, a tiled floor at tho entrance, and a brass chandelier all combino to give the Atheneum an attractive appearanco.

A change, which will bo duly appreciated by the amateur societies giving their performances at ihe houso has been made behind tho stago. Two now interior sots have beon painted by a local scene artist of merit, and this, addition to the scenery of the Atheueum will add much to its attractiveness. The cost of tho improvements made foot up $2,000. Among the amateur organizations who have made dates with Manager Mooro are tbe Melpoinone, Fenelon, St Agnos and Booth Societies. Tho last named will open Its season on Oetobei 19.

Taken lu all the Atheneum In its now dressprosouts an appoarauco of which Manager Moore may well be proud. BROTHERS AT LOGGERHEADS. A Fight Between av Boss Painter and tlis Foreman.

General Brenteln has been selected to command tho troops which are obviously massing in the south of Russia, and he has Just had a proloffged conference witli the commander of tho Black Sea fleet. The feeling of the London Stock Exchange Is strongly in favor of Prince Alexander. It is even stated that plenty of money will bo forthcoming if required by his government for a war loan. SOME TACTS CONCERNING BRITISH NOTABLES. It is stated as an interesting fact that Goneral Sir Redvers Bullor is a Liberal.

It is also noticeably curious that Colonol Turner, whom he has selected as his military secretary, was formerly private secretary to Lord Aberdeen, Viceroy of Iroland under Mr. Gladstone, and is a strotiG Home Rule advocate. Lord Acton, who is indebted to Mr. Gladstone for his peerage, is a Catholic, but opposed tho dogma of the Infallibility of the Pope. His wife is a daughter of Count Maximilian, of Bavaria.

Lord Actou is a pupil of Dr. Dolliugor, tho loader of the Old Catholic movement, who is an admirer and friend of Gladstone, though ho views the Homo Rule scheme with disfavor. Mr. Gladstone, it is said, will probably moot tho doctor at Munich for a theological discussion. INTERNATIONAL SCULLING RACES.

The races for the international sculling sweepstakes, the first heats of which will bo rowod on Monday, are causing an enormous Interest iu aquatic circles. Tho betting ou tho heats, as well as on the final result, has never been equaled in any contest on the Thames and is as general as that over a Derby race, notwithstanding tho fact that the English champions are such a poor lot William Bench, who won the championship of the world by defeating Hanlan, is an especial favorite and attracts much attention. His present quarters are the White Hart Inn at Barnos. From this point on tho river bank ho takes his dally spins, and horo your correspondent found him to day, wondorfully improved in appearanco siuco his arrival in England, and apparently in magnificent condition. He has reduced his weight forty poundB.

In reply to questions, Beach said: The English climate suits me perfectly. I never felt better in my life, therefore thero will be no excuse if I am beaten In the coming races. Hanlan has said In America that I beat him because the Australian climate enervated him, but he also said In Australia that I beat him because I was a belter man. I think that there is a good deal of luck In winning a sweepstako. Fortunately for myself, however, I have been drawn against Loe, whom I can defeat easily on Monday; should the winner of another heat on the same day have a hard race, it would bo unfair to him to have to meet me, comparatively fresh, for Tuesday's race.

However, this is a mattor of luck. I feol confident that I can beat Gaudeur. I have seen his practice and have taken a good measure of his abilities. I have likewise seen Ross work and have observed him well, but I believe that Teemer is the best of the lot Ho is certainly the fastest" When asked as to his capacity for endurance Beach replied: "I think I can stay the course." Reverting to Hanlan again, he said: I would like to meet Hanlan, If only to show him that I can beat him anywhere. I have traveled 14,000 miles and waited six months in Eng land to give Hanlan, and every other sculler for that matter, a chance to win the championship.

Whether I win or lose in the preBOut contest, I will return to Australia about October 10; therefore, It will be impossible for me to meet Hanlan. On no account will I visit America on my way home." A MURDEROUS JERSEY FARMER. Shooting: Charge of Buckshot Into a Company of Factory Girla. A serious and perhaps fatal shooting affray is reported to have occurred at Union Hill, N. yesterday morning.

The victim is Dora Rodenberg I 17 yearB old, daughter of a tailor residing on Gar I den streot Miss Rodenberg is employed at Glver nand Company's silk factory. This morning, while on her way to work with sev eral of her companions, she entered Jacob Lam bers' apple orchard, which is near tho road, and holped herself to the fruit lying on the ground. Farmer Lambers, who has been repeatedly au noyod by factory girls stealing his apples, appeared with a double barreled shotgun. Ab soon as they saw the farmer with the gun they fled, but stopped at the fence to gather a few more apples. This so angered Lambers that he raised his gun to his shoulder and fired.

Tho gun was heavily charged with buckshot The charge struck Miss Rodenberg full in the face, and Dr. Schiem, who attended her, fears that some of it may have penetrated the brain. The wounded girl was carried home by her companions and. Farmer Lambers shouldered his musket and marched home. A war rant has been issued for hi3 arrest.

MISS BIENI WANTS TO MARRY. But Her Father Keeps a Firm Grip on Her Sunday Clothes. Joseph Bevers, a shoemaker, aged 18 years, has latterly beon very attentive to Mrs. Savina, the widowed daughter of John Bieni, a ropomaker, of 209 Johnson avenue, and having been accepted as a suitor ho with his intended brldo called last evening ou Mr. Bieni to make arrangements for their Immediate marriage.

Tho youug lady wished to put on her best attire to visit tho minister. Mr. Bieni, how over, instead of being glad to have so excollent a young man as a huBband for his daughter, became furious on learning the object of their visit, and without waiting for further explanation fired the young man downstairs and sent a carving knife aftenhlm. The young lady screamed and iu a very few minutes succeeded in getting about 500 people of that populous neighborhood about the door, all of whom sympathized with the lovors. Bevers proceeded to the Sixth Precinct Station House and laid his grievance before Captain Kaiser, who, however, in the absence of Justice Naeher, was powerless to aid him.

Bieni, who claims that his daughter owes him a small amount of money, assorted his right to retain her wearing apparel as security for the debt The young people, however, expressed their determination to bo married soon, oven If they novo to marry in their everyday apparel. A BODY WASHED ASHORE. Charles Dietz, of the Eastern Dlttrict, Prowilcd at Rockaway. The body of a man was thrown up on Kock away Beach, near the west point, yesterday. Coroner Cronin took charge of it.

The corpse was identified by John Wainwright as that of Charles Dietz, whose homo was at the corner of Tenth street and Broadway, this city. It appears that Dietz was employed in Wainwright Smith's bathing pavilion at Itockaway, and last Tuesday morning went In the surf without saying anything. He was not missed until afternoon, when his clothes wero found in a bathing house, and it was surmised that ho had been drowned. He was an expert swimmer, and at Rockaway it is believed that he committed suicide. Nothing is known of his hiBtory, and he was a tramp when he first put In an appearanco at the beach.

TUKBULKMT STRIKERS. Chelsea, August 28. The strike at the Chelsea and Revere rubber factories has now continued four months. For tho past week or two tbo so called "scabs" have been menaced in various ways by tho striking operatives, and the bad fooling has culminated in vicious attacks with stones and other dangerous missiles. Several girls have been severely injured, one being struck on the chest with a heavy stone.

The Chelsea police have been compelled to cover a large torrltory, protecting workors going to East Boston and others bound for Revere. Public sympathy has desertod tho strikers, who are In a very sorry plight, being short'of money and auccoss as well. INTENSE HEAT IU BRff HAMPSHIRE. Dover, N.

A Great Number of Disappointed Sports A Frustrated Attempt to Hold tne Contest In Kings Sullivan Thinks This Part of the Country is Going to the Dogs. The 5,000 gentlemen who assembled at Rldgewood yesterday afternoon under the Impression that they wero going to witness a slugging match between John L.

Sullivan, late of Boston, now of New York, and Frank Herald, of Philadelphia, were grievously disappointed, fur at tho last moment the Queens County authorities resolved to interfere and sent a deputy sheriff and ten Rockaway policeman to stop the flght District Attorney Fleming, of Quoons County, was tho responsible man in tho case, and he acted in response to the demands of tbo Queens County Law and Order Society. The District Attorney, who resides In Jamaica, did not put In an appearance in person and neither did the Sheriff, who is now away on a vacation. Herald and Sullivan arrived at the little hotel opposite Rldgowood Baso Ball Grounds at 3 :30 o'clock and with them were a choice collection of Bportlne stars from Brooklyn, New York, Boston, Phila dolghia and Jersey City. There wore Ned Malla han, Billy O'Brien, John Stack, Milly Madden, Joseph Elllngsworth, Edward Touhey, Jack Ash ton, Tom Breezy, Gus Tuthill, Arthur Chambers, Johnny Cleary, Johnny Roche, Mike Donovon, Tommy Danforth, Jack Burgoss and a score of othors. These drove up to tho hotel and alighted and hardly had they done so when the policemen put In an appearance, led by their captain, who marched up to Sullivan and Herald and told them that if they tried to hght In Queens County they would be immediately arrested.

Sullivan's big red face flushed a little redder when, ho heard this, but he said I don't want to break no law. Ain't there some way of arranging it We are only going to spar for points." My orders aro not to let the meeting come oft in Queens County," said the captain. "So you can't spar here. "Humph!" said Sullivan. "I wonder if they'd allow a fellow to run a Sunday school in this part of the country." Ned Mallahan and Arthur Chambers chatted a minute or two and conceived a bright Idea.

The northwestern corner of Wallace's grounds is in Kings County, and ovor this spot tho police of Queens havo no Jurisdiction. They told Sullivan and Herald of this aud they were unite willing to fight in tho corner in question, but Peter J. McEvoy, of the Brooklyn sanitary squad, who was the only Kings County racer present, heard of their game and hastened to them. "If you fight iu Kings County," ho said, "I will notify Captain Dunn, of tho Fourteenth Precinct, and he will come with his men and scoop the whole lot of you." "It's no uso Sully," said Herald. We'll have to give It up.

Sullivan answered nothing, but after hearing the match declared off turned to his barouche, and after sotting up the drinks for the house drove sadly away, and Herald followed him. The police watched them out of sight and then marched proudly off. The crowd on tho ground was immediately notified that tho match was off, and the $1,500 which they had paid for two dollar tickets was returned. After getting their money they growlod and howled a great deal about the of sporting blood In tbe Queens County authorities. Their rage, though, was nothing to that of the great mrb of local and Imported roughs who were taking their ease outside waiting to follow the pugilists in.

The debate in the House of Commons on the two amendments to the address from the throne on the Burmese question are expected to occupy the whole session on Monday.

The amendment on the subject of the sufferings of the Scotch crofters will probably occupy Tuesday, leaving Mr. Sexton's amendment on the Belfast riots to come up either late on Tuesday, or on Wednesday, probably, In deference to a general doaire, on the ground that it is likely to embitter the leeling at Belfast. Mr. Sexton may bo induced to withdraw his amendment In any event, Parliament cannot be prorogued before September 20. Mr.

Chamberlain's outspoken avowal favoring a great scheme of State aided land purchase in Ireland as long as Ireland remained an integral part of the United Kingdom, divided the Interest with Mr. Gladstone's pamphlet. The Radicals taunt Mr. Chamberlain with having kept a complete silence on this subject during the electoral campaign, when on the contrary he denounced any use of tho public money ior this purpose. The caucus also accuses him of associating himself with Lord Hartlngton In the belief that he will succeed to tho leadership of the Liberal Unionist wing when Lord Hartlngton sucoeeds to a peerage and goes Into the House of Lords.

It is also asserted that he is now actuated solely by his spite against Mr. Gladstone. HOMB BULK IN SCOTLAND AND WALKS. The growth of tho demand for home rule in Scotland and Wales, accompanied by the closer connection which has taken place between the Parnellite and the Scottish and Welsh parties is likely to lead up to an organized union of these political sections for purposes of mutual assistance. LORD ASHBOURNE'S ACT.

There Is a gradual increase of purchases of holdings under Lord Ashbourne's Act, Up to the present time 3,000 applications have been received for advances, aggregating $7,500,000. Of those, 2,500, for sums amounting In all to about $5,000,000, have already been sanctioned, and aro now in various Btages of progress, about half of them being actually issued. The national press admit that the act is beneficial In cases where landlords are willing to accept reasonable prices and tenants are willing to undertake the responsibility of payments extending through half a century. The difficulty is that the landlords are not always disposed to make fair concessions, and In such cases the commissioners are helpless. The difficulty of collecting rents, on account of tho prevailing depression, is still great in many parts of Iroland.

On one largo estate in LimericK where there are 400 industrious tenants, the landlord has Just given notice through his solicitor that holdings will be offered on September 1 at a certain rate of purchase, and if the tenants are not satisfied to accept the torms, evictions will be resorted to. EVICTIONS IN COUNTY GALWAY. Exciting scenes were witnessed during tho evictions in Woodford, County Galway, yesterday. A force of 550 policemen, strengthened by a large number of "emergency men'1 and extra bailifis, went to the house of the tenant, named Saunders, which has for some days been defended from within by a number of armed men, and has been actually in a state of sloge. The roof of the dwelling has beon pierced with loopholes, through which the Inmates throw boiling water upon the officers.

Several policemen and bailifis wero soverely scaldod. A more novel form of defence was the lotting looso of a swarm of angry boos, which clustered among the attacking party, and proved quite efficient iu demoralizing the offlcere of tho law. Sealing ladders were procured, and finally, after a desperate hand to haud struggle, the house was carried by storm and its twenty defenders made prlsonors. The officers, ou entering, found large caldrons of water boiling over a huge Are, a bag of limo to bo used with the water and a quantity of stones and other missiles. Just before tho beginning of the evictions which occurred on tho Clanricarde estate tho bailiff of tho Jfarquls of Clanricarde publicly resigned his offleo rather than take part ih tbe operation.

This act caused something of a sensation. TUB REGISTRAR GENERAL'S REPORT.

Lord Salisbury's experiments In electricity, in connection with its application to agricultural implements, apparently occupy aB much of his time ss the great questions before tho nation. To day was literally field day In the olectrlcal department A field of barley was to be cut, bound, carted, threshed, by electricity. The apparatus for doing the cutting was not in proper trim, so that part of the programme was omitted. Tho threshing, howover, waB accomplished successfully. The wire conveying the current was a mile and a half long, and the experiment, which was deemod a great success by those who witnessed it, passed off without a hitch.

Tho appliances saved a long dls tanco of cartage and a great deal ol labor. At the conclusion Lord Salisbury was as much delighted as though ho had hoodwinked tho Czar. THE BULGARIAN CRISIS.

Mr. Somers Interrogates Superintendent Culyer on the Water Supply and Evokes Polite but Pertinent Repjies Other Matters Coniinu Into the Discussion as Lateral Issues. Not Much Business, but a Great Deal of Talk.

A special meeting of the Park Commissioners was held at the Litchfield Mansion, on the Park grounds, yesterday afternoon. President Easton, Superintendent Culyer and Commissioners Van Vleck, Crossman, Lyons, Markoy and Somers were present Tho Superintendent was instructed to investigate a complaint laid before the Board by James II. Hart, 318 Fulton street, in referenco to the condition of tho dirt road. A request from Rev. Thomas Douglass, of the Conoy Island Congregational Church, for permission to conduct divine sorvices on the concourse on Sunday aftoruoons, was tabled for action at the noxt meeting.

President Easton suggested that a tour of tho park be made when Commissioner Somers expressed a desire to visit tho great woll. He said that he thought there must be a leak somewhere as all of the uppor water courses wero dry and none of the water was running over into them from tho reservoir. He said orders had been given to the onginoers in charge of tbe well to koep the pumps at work during the whole of Friday night. "It seems to me that the Executive Committee should have consulted with the superintendent on a matter of that kind," said Commissioner Van Vleck. It could then easily have been attended to." "The pumps have been running for ten days in a dry said Mr.

Somers, without tho usual quantity of water being obtained, and through the leak everything up there is being dried up." "When you ordered a reduction in the number of men recently, part of the working force at the well was discharged," Superintendent Cnlyer said promptly. "But the same help is there now as before the reduction. You might as woll get down to tho facts now. Has the Village of Parkville a water service of Its own was the reply. "No, sir, I think not," responded Mr.

Culyer. "Thoro are two rival companies laying lines down there now, but Just how far they have gotten I don't know." "Where does the new race course the Brooklyn Jockey Club got their water asked Mr. Somers. "They are getting water from the Park." Why do they do that without asking us That Is why we have no water running over our dam." I suppose," said the superintendent, they will pay for it I received a note from the office at the City Hall that Mr. Sbovlin had been thero and mode application for wator carts, and that he had yoar sanction for using them." But we are not in that business," said Mr.

Somers. "We are In no condition to give them water while tho park is being burnt up for lack of It I am opposed to lotting them have the water under tho circumstances." I presumed I was carrying out your desires, Mr. Somers," said Superintendent Culyer. There was nothing said to me about water at alL Only the use of the carts was mentioned." I thought you wanted to grant the racing club permission to use the water and the carts." I gave no consent to use any water, bnt referred that matter to the president" "The difficulty arises," said Vleck, "from the difference between tho Superintendent and tho Executive Committee. It seems to me that the Committee should have communicated with the Superintendent about the matter.

Jt could then have been arranged easily enough. Thero seems to bo a want of harmony between them which la entirely unnecessary. The Superintendent is a subordinate, and the Executive Committee have gen oral charge when tho Board is not in session. A little more consultation betwoen the Committee and the Superintendent might be advisable, and these questions would not then como before the Board. I was here yes terday afternoon; so was the Superintendent; and lu an emergency like that, when there Is not sufficient water for Park purposes, it would have been easy to consult tho Superintendent about it.

If that had been done the matter could have beenrettled last night I speak in good faith and with a spirit of fairness and a desire to have Justice done to all sides." "Will you undertake the Job of getting thesuper lntendent for us when we want him?" asked Mr. Somers. 1 have been in tho Commission since last September," repliod Mr. Van Vlock, and have never had any trouble to get the Superintendent to be present when he was required." The Executive Committee have given the superintendent notice that they would be in this office every morning at 9 o'clock," rejoined Mr. Somers, "and I think it is his duty to be present at that hour.

If you want the Job you can take it" I have never attempted to assume the duties of the Executive Committee," said Commissioner Van Vleck, and beside am quite capable of taking caro of myself, either in tho Commission or out of it No personal motives have boen imputed by me to any one. I don't like that sort of business and won't stand I should like to havo the superintendent here to get his ordors when ho is wanted," insinuated Mr. Somors. Why not request him to meet you here every morning put in President Easton. Things come up here before the Executive Committee," said Mr.

Somers, which wo have to let go by, day after day, bocauso he is not in attendance. Then we are neglocling our duty. Tho superintendent of the park is subordinate to us and May I Interrupt the gentleman," asked Mr. Van Vleck, with asperity. Not Just yet Day after day these things go on and I havo probably got a little bit crusty about them," wa3 the decided response from Mr.

Somors. I havo beon ongaged on tho Park for many yonrs," said the Superintendent, but have never yet had a continuous vacation. At times I have taken a day or two throo so far this Summer whon my presence did not seem to bo absolutely required here. I certainly ask your indulgenco to that extent When I have beon away I have beon unable to reach this oflico' by 9 o'clock in the morning. I think 1 am entitled to more vacation than I have ever had yet.

That has been my rule for all these years, for I havo felt that my first duty was to the Park, and if necessary I will sacrifice my whole time In working for it In tho particular case you mention, if you had' told Mr. Mogulro about It, I should have been here, for this water question is a very serious ono. When I aotcd as I did I was only eolioltous to carry out the suggestions of Commissioner Somors." At this point the park omnibus arrived. President Easton said he was convlncod that tho object for which he had called the meeting had boon attained, and that the free interchange of opinion would lead to a better uuderstanding and redound to the public Interest Superintendent Culyor suggested that if in any future case he was absent, Mr. Maguire might be allowed to act in his place.

Mr. Somers did not like the suggestion and said that ho did not think that Mr. Maguire would be likely to carry out orders faithfully. Mr. Van Vleck thought tho offleo hours of tho park employes ought to be fixed by the Commissioners.

Mr. Somors complained that he was misrepresented in regard to recent discharges of employes. It was the necessary work of the Exeoutlvo Committee Mr. Culyer asked permission to take a vacation of a day or two at a time during the next two weeks. He said he would endeavor to be present at 10 A.

M. every morning to meet the Executive Committee. This request was referred to the Executive Committee with power to act The meeting then adjourned for a tour of the park. Various points In need of improvement were brought under discussion and Superintendent Culyer explained In full all the misunderstood features which have recently caused trouble.
