EX WARDEN BROWN'S OFFER. OAPTAIS MC CORMICK REPORTS FOR DUTT. Cordially Greeted by Ghexardf. Once CRAWFORD'S ROBBERY TALE WHAT HAS BECOME OF TOMMY? AN OPINION FROM MC DONALD And Now Joseph Gentile of Harlem Is Held For Bljamf. Joseph Gentile, an Italian, aged 42, of 829 East Om Huudrod and Sixth street, New York, was charged with bigamy in the Harlem police court this morning and was held in $2,000 bail for examination.

The strange part or tne case is that, after going through a marriage cere mony with the second woman he sent money to his wife la Italy that she and her children might come to this country. Gentile came here four years ago and worked as a laborer. He had been married there several rears before. He lived most of the time in the One Hundred and Sixth street house and there met Mrs. Maria Pizza, a prosperous widow, fire years his senior.

They loved each other and settled matters on November 18 last by going to Alderman Lone's house and asking him to marry them, lie periormou. tuo uei emony. Gentile would not explain this morning what led him to tne act whioh resulted in his Imprisonment last night. It may be that his lovo) for bis new wife colled, and that his affection for the old one returned. Anyway, last spring ho sent money to his first wife in Italy, that sho might pay passage for sorsolf and two children to oome to this oountry.

The first Mrs. Gentile landed here on May 6. Her husband was not at Ellis Island to meet her. She traced him to the One Hundred and Sixth street house and found him there with his other wife. The anger of the first Mrs.

Gentile was Intense, according to those who' live around East One Hundred and Sixth street. She went to the police with her story and obtained a warrant for Gentile's arrest. The much married man would make no statement in court this morning. Mrs. Gentile, the first, is determined that he will be punished severely.

POWERS GOT THE HORSE. Next Thing He "Was Arrested fbr Highway Bobbery. There Wns a Little Irtspnte Over a Feed Bill, Followed by the Attachment of a Runner and an Ineffectual Attempt to Evade the Law A Slander Suit Hay Follow. Oscar Bbodes Is a running horse owner. When his string is not making or breaking him on the Guttenberg, Washington or.

other race track it is quartered at the farm, ot John Powers, on the Hempstead plains, near the grounds of the Meadow Brook Hunt club. Bacing has evidently been dull with Bhodoa of late, and two of his horses, Menthol and Jack Baohelor, have been their heads off in Powers' stable. Whether or not their owner carried his feeding to ao extravagant a plane at the farmer's table is not stated, but the bill which Powers presented for board and horse keep a few days ago a me Tinted to $185. Bhodes said it was aot convenient to settle just at that time and the farmer's plea ot having, to meet a big bill in a few days had no effect in tbe direction of raising the breeze. Thoroughly tlted of promises, Powers got out an attachment against the two horse and forbade Unodos talcing them irom tne Biaoie uncu tne olalm was satisfied.

This Injunction interfered sadly with Rhodes' plans, as he had arranged to sell ack Baohelor to parties in reepon. The absence of Powers a few days ago was taken advantage of by Bhodes, and mounting the horse he rode off to deliver him to the Free port man. There was a lively time at the tarm when Powers returned home and was told the horse had been taken away. He immediately set out on horseback to run Bhedes down. After riding many miles he struok the right track and overtook his man near Freeport.

It Is said there was a tussle be tween tne men on norseoacs, out au is known is that Powers get possession of the runner and returned him to his stables. Bhodes fall from his horso is explained by the report that ha ieii from sheer exhaustion inaucea oy his long ride. Bhodes went on to Freeport and oa his complaint Justice Wallaee issued a warrant for Powers' arrest en a charge of highway robbery. The case will be heard on Juno 18. Now Bhodes and Powers have arrived at an understanding and an attempt was made to withdraw the oharge.

That justloe Wallace would not listen to. Bhodes is threatened with Drosecution for slander in the event of his being tried on tho highway robbery oharge. TBE COURT CALENDARS. Cases to Be flailed for Disposition by Judges on Monday. Suoreme court.

'MAKEIED IN A CONVENT A Unique Event That May Never Be Repeated.

Tho Contraotlnp Parties Were Thomas F. Oliver of This City and Miss Dorothy P. Wilson of Sharon Hill, Pa. Sweet Faced Nuns the Witnesses to the Ceremony. It is a very unusual thing for a marriage to bo solemnized within tho walls of a convent, and the contracting parties who are so fortunate enjoy what in the Catholic ohurch is a rare privilege.

Before permission is granted good reasons must be at hand, and tho head of a diooese or arohdiooege must always bo the judge ot those reasons. It was tho good fortune of a Brooklynite, Sir. Thomas E. Oliver of 369 Degraw street and his bride, Miss Dorothy P. Wilson of Sharon Hill, to have made to thm this concession, which plaoed at their disposal for their marriage ceremony the beautiful convent of the Holy Child, atAcademy, Pa.

There, Tuesday morning, in the presence of sweet faced, solomn robed nuns, tho little bridal party wended its way to the chapel, where the nuptial vows wore reeeived by the Ilev. Father O'Nell, who is ohaplaln to the sisterhood. Just the least element ot the conventional flavored tho uniqueness ot tho event It was the playiagof the Mendelssohn and "Lohengrin" wedding marches as the party entered and left the chapoj. It was a nun, too, that presided at the keyboard of the organ, and never before in tho history of the country, perhaps, has the light, graeful music of a wedding march resounded from a convent's walls, or fallen upon the ears of the pious women who have drawn a curtain for all time between themselves and the world. To lntroduee this little touch in precinots so gacred it became necessary for Father O'Noil to secure the permission of Arohbishop Ryan.

The reason permission was granted was due to the aot that Baaron Hlil has no Catholic church, and the nearest altar is the one in the oonvant chapel. The spot is a lovely one, abounding in trees and shrubbery, with statues and altars here and there that make of it a veritable paradise. The bride is a daughter of William Wilson, a retired naval officer, while the groom comes ot an excellent local family. Miss Blanch Wilson, a sister of the bride, was bridesmaid, and Frank J. Oliver, brother of the groom, fulfilled tho duties of best man.

The ushers were John Colby ot Now York and James Oliver. Immediately after the osremony the happy couple were driven in a carriage bedecked with love knots and flowers to the rssidenoe of tho bride's father, where the wedding feast was served. Only the immediate friends of the contracting parties were present. After a tour of some weeks Mr. and Mrs.

Oliver will make their homo at Bath Beach, L. THE GREAT HAIL STORH IN VIENNA. Two Hundred Persons Are Reported Injured The Damage Enormoai. London, June 9 A dispatsh to the Times from Vienna says: "Many reports of casualties and damage to property resulting from Thursday's hail storm wore reoeived yesterday. On account of the widespread destruction of windows in this city the price of glass has greatly risen.

Glaziers are also taking advantage of the increased demand for their services, and are asking oxorbitant wages. The families of persons who lost their lives by the storm will be allowed a commission of municipal taxes for two years. There were fearful storms yesterday in different parts of the oonntry. The Danube has risen to an unusual height, owing to the heavy rainfalls, and the olty of Linz and the town of Mauthausen are suffering from floods. Immense damage to property is reported.

A dispatch to the Daily A'ews from Vienna soys. "It is sstimated that 200 persons were injured as a result of the hailstorm of Thursday morning. Most of them ore suffering from broken legs." A STRANGER WITH A BROKEN LEG Keqtiired the Service oi Dr. Joyce Last Even inir. Dr.

T. A. Joyco was ualled to the Park stables, on Lincoln place, in a hurry lust evening by Fred, the stableman, who announced that a stranger with a broken leg had just arrived there in a very bad way. The doctor responded with alacrity. Ho found the stranger to bo a poor little, timid carrier pigeon, with a metal band around it, bearing th inscription S.

3665. Attached to this band was a strip of metal weighing nearly a pound. This hod evidently been wronchod from a leader, to whioh the carrier must have in some way got fastened in the course oi its journoy. It is quite likely that in trying to free itself the bird tore away part of the ieader band and broke its leg in the bargain. Dr.

Joyee set tho leg, nnd the stableman took off the extra weight and made tho Httle earner comfortable. It will bo carefully nursed until the broken leg is well mended. Then, If its ownor has not turned up in tho meantime, it will be liberated. ORA. SD JUKOKS C03SCLTIMG.

Corporation Counsel McDonald to day received a letter from Acting Secretary of the Navy Mc Adoo, saying that tho deed of tho Wallabout lands will bo delivered to tho Brooklyn City authorities by a representative of the secretary, probably, during the early part of next week. Comniandliig the Lancaster.

Captain Alexander H. MoCormlek of tho old wooden frigate Lancaster, whioh arrived yes terday from Japan and is at anohor off Staton island, reported in porson to Bear Admiral Gherardi to doy at the navy yard, with his executive officer. Lieutenant Commander Walton Goodwin. It is said at the yard that the Lancaster has made her last cruise nnd that as soon as possible Commedoro Selfridge and his board of inspection will come on from Washington to make a survey ot the old ship. After that she will proceed to thnavy yard, where, it rumor be true.Jshe will bo remodeled into a training ship.

Admiral Gherardi gavo Captain McCor mlclc a particularly warm wolcomo to day, and may take run down to the Lancaster in his launoh to visit tho old frigate, of whioh he was the captain when, at tho bombardment of Alexandria, Egypt, in June, 1882, bo sailed his ship around the British flagship, his band playing the English national anthem. As a souvenir of her homeward voyage, Captain MoOormiok will present to the admiral the Lancaster's pennant, whlah streamed from her masthead as she entered the harbor. It was made for her in STokohamo. of fine Japanese silk, 565 feet long, and to the end of it was attached on inflated bladder, on which is painted the legend, York or bust" Tho Lancaster left Gibraltar May 2 nnd leisurely sailed most of the distance home. Sho had on boord the embalmed body of Lieutenant Commander Joseph Marthow, who was captain of tho Palos and died two years ago In tho Asiatio station.

His remains were this morning transferred by the navy yard tug, Trafflo, from the Lancaster to the Jersey Central dook, where they were met by his widow, who will aeoompany the body to Washington for burial. READY MONEY WAS SHORT That Is Why Bartlett Co. "Went Under. Merchandise Piled Cp in tho Warehouses Dor log the Prolonged Depression There Will Be No Stoppage of the Finn's Business None of the Officers Knows Where Thins Aro at Now, Neither W. W.

Goodrich, tho assignee, tho members of E. B. Bartlett Co. or the officers of the Union Warehouse company, whose failure was announced in the Ea.ole yesterday, know anything definite abeut tho situation of the firm. The death of E.

B. Bartlett struck their business as suddenly as a Lake George squall, and before his surviv ing partners know it their canoe was upset and they were out in tho water swimming. They are still pulling for the shore for all they are worth, and people who know most about the affair, think they get will there, not seriously damaged by their ducking. The warehouse business is extremely profitable, but it requires large capital to carry it on. The failure seems to have been caused pri marily by the fact that the company, with a capital of only $200,000 was conducting a business of several times that amoant yearly for the most part in expensive leased stores.

Of late during the business depression merchandise has piled up in their stores, ana as a warenousoman only coneots nis oharges when goods leave his storehouse the company has been short of ready cash. Mr. Bartlett. who was a masterful and senretlve man, managed the business himself absolutely and met emergencies without saying muoh about them. His death created a crisis and is the Immediate cause of tho suspension.

Whether he would have boen able to tide the thing over had he lived no one can tell till the statements are made up. Mr. Goodrich said this morning that he eouldn't tell the assets or the liabilities yet and had not prepared a list of oredltors. He has, however, prepared a circular Inviting creditors to meet at his office Monday afternoon at 3 o'oleok, and tho employes of the Union Warehouse company are sending that out to the names on thoir books. At the rate of speed making to day not all the creditors will be reaohed, but they will probably appear on newspaper notioe.

Judge Pratt's order appointing Mr. Goodrich' receiver authorizes him to continue the business, receiving new goods, so that basiness at the stores will not be in any way Interrupted. A member of the firm of David Dows Co. said that the failure would not pull down other firms, and the only possible embarrassment might be to banks which carried some of the paper. Subsequent inquiry showed that no Brooklyn banks carried enough of the paper to lose anything.

The Union Warehouse company was sometimes referred to as the warehouse trust, but in fact it did not do over a third of the warehousing on the Brooklyn water front. Its stores are the Watson, Boberts, Waverly. Mediterranean, Anglo American, Plerrepont, Prentice and Merchant's, all between the Fulton and South ferries. Those which the company did not touch are Martin's the Woodruff, David Davis the Columbia, Robinson's, the Union, the iron elevator and all the storehouses at Atlantic and Erie basins. Tho company leased all or nearly all its stores.

Its annual rent was as large as its capital, and had to be met whether business was brisk or slow. When it turned over goods quiokly the cempany made a good doel of money. Of late, however, it has been taking in a good deal more goods than have gone out KRAUSE SETTLED THE CASE. And Bis Lawycm Were Left Out in tne Cold. Application was to day made to Justice Cul len of the supreme court by Lawyers Foley and Powell for an order permitting them to prosecute, in their own behalf, tho suit of Henry Krause against Charles and Elizabeth Sattler.

In making the motion Mr. Powell told Judge Cullen that Krause, who was the ward of his aunt, Mrs. Sattler, was not aware that he was the owner of any property until about two months ago. At that time counsel discovered that his grandmother had loft Krause a house in Delanoey street, New Yoik, and personal belongings worth at least $2,000 more. At Krauso's suggestion, counsel brought suit to recover.

The lawyers, by agreement, were to have ono fourth of all they recovered. The papers were sorved and Mr. Van Vranken appeared as the defendants' attorney. Mr. Powell said the next day he was surprised to rooeive notice from the other side that the case had been settled.

Krauso was living witn tho defendants and Mr. Powell claimed that ho was perfectly helpless in their haads, as he had boen with them since his infancy. Counsel said tgat en investigation it was found that on Ootober 14, 1893, Krause became of age and thren days Inter convoyed his interest ia tho property to Charles Sattler for 620,000. But Krause olalmed he had never received a cent of this sum. A couple of weeks later it was found that Sattler had conveyed the same property to Simon Bains for Mr.

Powoll said that undur the settlement alleged to have been made after suit was brought, Krause was to got 63,500 in cash, a mortgage for 83,000 and a half interest In a raoing stable which Sattler owned. Mr. Powell said he should have had at least $0,000 more. Counsel declared that he was not permitted to see Krause any more except in the presence of the defendants. Mr.

Powoll declared that the fraud wa3 a double one upon Krause himself and upon his attorneys. He claimed that he had a right to continue the action undor such circumstances, to secure his own rights as attorney. Mr. Van Vranken declared that the dofoauante had always Stood ready and willing to settle tho difficulty with Kranse, who was perfectly, satisfied with, the manner of settlement mode. Other people had induced Krause to begin the action.

In conclusion counsel said that plaintiff's counsel had been offered $500, but rofusod It Now their remedy was to sue. The court reserved decision. THE KAlMu TEOLIjKT. President Plympton of the subway commission, has reported to tho mayor that he recently tested the speed of cars on Seventh avenue, aud that four out of fourteen ran at a speed varying from thirteen and a half to fifteen and a quartor miles an hour.

Whioh Has a Good Deal of Interest for Veterans. TBEffi PRIVILEGES UNDER CIVIL SERVICE. The Corporation Counsel 0elds Tbnt the Amendment Passed by the Legislature This Tear Is Restricted In Its Operation, Applying Only te Those Who Are Paid by the Day Interpreting an Act From Which Grand Army Hen Looked Forward to Great Things. (ggrporation Counsel McDonald this after Boon sent the following important opinion to the filvll serrioe commissioners: JtnrE 1884. The Civil Sarvtce Commission of the City of Srooklum Gentleman My opinion is asked upon the EOope and effect of chapter 717 of the laws of 1894.

which amends the ciril service laws of the Btato by the addition of the following provisions "But the civil service rules and laws of this state shall not apply to suili persons, residents of this state, who served in tbo army or navy of the United States in the late war and have been honorably dischoreed therefrom, for any position or employment, tho compensation of whioh does not exeoed $4 a dav in the Tjublio departments and uoon all public works of the state of New York and of the several eitiea, couatioa, towns and villages thereof." My oonolnsion is that no position or employment is affected except such the compensation which is expressly and on the face a per diem compensation or wages not exceeding the limit namod. Although so restricted, the statute has an operation sufficiently comprehensive to furnish a motive for its enactment, for the civil service list of Brooklyn in its competitive schedule contains a lareo number of places paid by daily compensation not exceeding S4. My conclusion finds support equally in tho natural construction of the lanuunge and iu what I take to be the reason and policy of the law. The language used seems to me to import a. position paid by day's wagos; not a position paid by a salary per year or per month, even though by assuming to divide that salary (as it is not in fact divided) by a number of davs, there would he left less than four dollars for eaoh day assumed in tho calculation.

To satisfy this statute no calculation to be required. None is required or contemplated. It ought to appear at once on the face of things that the daily rate of compensation each separate day and day by day, and treated as a day's pay, does not exceed go much. The language is not appropriate to a position or employment paid by a salary per year or per month. In such a position separate dally compensation is not considered; the compensation is not calculated or earned or the contract of sorv ioe performed acainst the work of each day; nor 'do we speak of the compensation as so much a day.

To my mind the lansuaco in question here might, in ao cordance with its real meaning, have just as well read: "Any pc Bition or employment, tho daily coinpen nation, of which does not four dollars." Thus read no one woulu probably question the moaning to acord with tne conclusion expressed above. To say that the Iunuuaee of the statute is capable of literal application to anr case where in the result a compensation may or does not exceod $4 a day, does not meet the question. The principle of construction seeks to ascer tain the intention of the legislature. A strict and literal interpretation is not no much to be respected as one which conveys the SDirlt and purpose of the act. This is sometimes true even if it leads to a construction contrary to the literal meaning of some of the word3 used.

The words position or employment Btandini? bv themselves without expression of limitation are sufficient to include salaried places.indeed.ali places.But their moaning is here qualified by the latter words, "the compensation of which does not exceed $4 a day." The word "compensation," however broad it meanins, standing alone, is reduced by the expression "$4 a day" to mean a daily compensation or wanes. In one case the court says that, V7hen wases are stated or stipulated by the day we do not call the compensation salary, but pay or wages." I think we are dealing here with day's pay: that the true meaning would bo elucidated by substituting for the word, "com. Jiensation" the word "pay," so that tho provision iterally would be: "The pay of which doeH not oxoeed a day." Some support of the construction here contended for is found in whatever analogy exists between the present matter of interpretation nnd those adjudicated cases where a provision of law concerning persons reooiving a salary from the city has been held not to include persons receiving daily waues, liecauae the use of the word is thought to import a different degree of employment than such as is compensated by days' wages. In tlie same direction are those decisions concerning the meaning of the words "laborers, servants and apprentices" or the words "'employes, operatives anil laborers" a used in certain statutes, and which exolude from the operation of these expressions all persons holding clerks' or bookkeepers' places, although the word "servant" or tho other word employe detached from the connection in which it is used, is broad enough to include any person who engages his services to another. The reason and policy of tho law.

as I understand it, sirp conclusion first above expressed It is the general policy of the state, tlrst of all. to se enre efneieuoy in tho public service by requiring applicants for position or employment, to submit to reasonable tests of fitness. This polioy is effectuated through the civil servioe laws and xegulations. Tho very provision of law we are considering is contained in the statutes relating the oivil service. It is not to be assumed that there will be any departure from this policy as to any particular class, except according to clear expression, for plain reasons and within appropriate limitations.

For Beveral years it has been the law that honorably discharged veterans were as niuoh subject to the competitive examinations under the civil service law as non veterans, and equally were required to pass the test of suoh examinations to tne extent of showing tho common minimum of capacity. Having so passed the status of veteran secured a preference of appointment as against the others (non veterans), who nad passed the same examination, although the vet. eran might ive received relatively an inferior grade or rating from the examiners. Until the examination was passed, how over, the preference had no operation. Such has been the law and tho policy of the stato for many years.

It was a reasonable policy and was thought to be as liberal, speaking, as was consistent with the general good. If tho Jaw in any respect is to le modified by wholly exempting any particular class from examination aud yet leaving them preference in appointment it iB natural suppose such, modification would relate rather to positions or employments of comparatively inferior requirement as to skill and capacity. The risk of mischief in the operation of such a change would be small. We are not to suppose the test of examination for to personal lltneis would be removed aB places of peculiar fitness aud capacity. The risk of mischlof iu such a chance would be grent.

Wo should, themfnrn. expect the exemption to bo oue so limited as wo consider it to bo limited in the stntutn are considering. As an easy way of expressing that the grade of positions to be exempted was an inferior grade, it is 8'iid in the statute that tho Dosnions or employments atrectea are only tlioso having a daily compensation not over $4. We all know that positions involving relatively greater skill and capacity are more generally compensated by annual salary. 'i.

lie importance oi correctly interpreting this Statute bears very strongly on tho intorest of the city. The court of appeals in the oaso of Peck agaiDstBolknap. 1 30, N. page 308. holds that The disqualification under tho civil service law applies not only to the individual who has not passed the requisite examination, but also to tho city itself.

It cannot employ or receive into its servico, a person not eligible under the law." Any other interpretation than that above expressed would open to appointment, without sufficient examination or tost of capacity, very numerous positions or employments in tho busi nes of the city involving special qualifications and now guarded by the civil service laws. Such a result should follow only from a legislative act expressly and dearly to that effect. Be Bpectfully yours. Aldeht G. McDonald, Corporation Counsel.

FOR A TIME BE WAS A DAZZLING SPECTACLE Re Woro Patent Leather Shoes, White Spats and a nigh Collar, and He Wanted It Distinctly Understood That Bo Wasn't Dead. After Many Vicissitudes, Domestic and Otherwise, He Fell Into a Fortune He Flashed Like a Meteor and Disappeared Like a Shot. On one of the hottest days lost summer Mr. S. S.

'Whitehouta of the flrtn of Morris Jk Whitehouso sat in his oflloe trying to keep cool and do a littls work. All the windows were open, and Mr. Whitehouso wore a gauze like summer suit. There was a heavy footfall and a man entered tho room. He was short, stout and about 00 years of age.

His face was red and ho wore ginger Donegals. On his head was a big fur cap, and his principal garment was a big overooat. "Tommy Sheridan's alive," ho exclaimed, glaring at Mr. AVhitehouse and advancing stealthily. "I'm glad to hoar it," said the lawyer.

"What can I do for you, sir?" "Tommy Sheridan's alive," shouted tho stout man in a terrible voice. "I'm very glad to hear it," repeated Mr. Whitohouse. laying down his pen and preparing to bolt for tho door. "Whoo Tommy Sheridan's alivo howled the visitor and he jumped up and orackud his heels together.

"I guess ibis is the last of me," thought Mr. Whitehouse. The visitor jumped up again and threw his hat violently on the floor. "An' they thought oi wuz dead," he said and grinned in triumph. 'Are you Tommy Sheridan?" "I om." "I'm glad you're not dead." "An' you'll gladder.

Oi've got ft job for you, lawyer. Tnero's thousands an' thousands of dollars belongs to me here. Foight for thim, win thim an' there's fufty dollars for you an' all the rist for me. In his own way, Tommy told his story. He was a bricklawyor and was one of the men to whom Brooklyn owes the Academy of Music at least to the extent that ho laid bricks for it.

He lived in Jackson's Hollow as a squatter, having put up his own shanty. He paid no rent and saved money. By that means he got the oash together to buy several lotc. This he gave to his wife and she bought the lots, got the title in her own name and promptly quarreled with him nnd had him put out ot the house. Tommy went on a long debauch.

His bosses discharged him and he became a wanderer on the face of the earth. This was all twenty years ago. A few days before the conversation with Mr. Whitehouse, Tommy found himself ia New Brunswick, N. J.

The friend said: "Ain't you Tommy Sheridan?" "I oa!" said Tommy. "Your wife is dead." "Oi'm glad of it. Shure sho ought to've doyed long ago." "But she hung herself," "An' indade hangin' was too good for her." "She left property?" "Ah, yis; an' I 'sposo the sisters get it all?" "Divvle a bit She left no will. The publio administrator has it an' the wife's sister is after it bscause you're dead. "Beoause Oi'm dead 1" "Yis." "But, bedad, Oi'm aloire." "But they've proved yeu're dead." "But Oril soon show them Oi'm alolve." And with that he borrowed 50 oents and oame straight to Brooklyn, making a bee line far the first lawyer's office "Well, now, you've got to prove that you're really Tommy Sheridan," said Mr.

Whitehouse. "But don't Oi know mesilf O'm Tommv Sher idan. Who would Oi be If I wasn't Tommy Sheridan?" Tho lawyer explained and tho wanderer thought the thing over. "There's John Delinar and Hugh McLaughlin, would they do?" had no idea how things had obanged in twenty years and how many of his old friends had grown. At last some of his old acquaintances were found and Tommy's identity fully established.

Very recently ho got the money and Immediately thereafter a heavy swell appeared Broadway. In the costume there were patent loather boits, white spots, large check suit, high aollar and heavy Cane, but the glory of it all was the shining silk hat A small, but ver pugnaoious looking white bull dog, belonged to the combination. He was led by a chain. Good luok never tomes alone. Tommy Sheridan served under Phil Sheridan.

He found that a number of his old comrades had reoeived pensions and he went in for on himself. He got it, too, and then went in for arrears. His claim is booming along to success and Tommy was on tho top wave of prosperity. But he has suddenly disappeared. No one knows where he is.

The last seen of him was a week sgo. Ho was in Navy street among the slaughter houses, a plaoe about as foreign to his aristocratic predilections as any in the town. He had lost his silk hat, his cane was reduced to a fragment, one of his spats was gone, so was the bull dog, but his ginger whiskers stood out like wire, and be said: "Oim Tommy Sheridan and the wolfa is dead an' divole a bit of a mass'll be said. An' oi can nee any man on the street. With this he jumped and shook his fragment of stick and disappeared around the corner.

Crawford's Boom and Threw the Summons at Ber Feet. Officer Garrison, attached to the Myrtle avenue police court, is to day engaged in searching for "Ono, John Doe," who is charged by J. L. B. Crawford, the druggist who has a store at the corner of Spencer place and Fulton street, with assaulting him on Wednesday night.

Mr. Crawford visited Justice court room yesterday morning and swore to the facts on whioh the warrant was Issued. He woro blue goggles to hide the bruises on both eyes which he reeeived in the encounter with the two men who called at his house, 23 Spencer place, to serve a civil suit summons on Mrs. Crawford. Mr.

Crawford told Clerk Gross, who made out the complaint, that his daughter had called at the store and told him two men had just Berved papers upon her mother. He went to the house aud met two men on the stairs, and when he asked their business he claims they assaulted him. The hall, he says, was dark, aud ho could not say which of the two men assaulted him, but thought he would bo able to recognize him if he saw him again. The police of the Fourth preolnot first heard of the case on Wednesday evening when Patrolman Finn reported, saying that Crawford had been assaulted by two men. No report was made of the case to headquarters, as it was a simple case of assault and was entered in the blotter merely for reference.

Mr. Crawford admitted to Patrolman Finn that tho men had called to serve a summons on his wife in a civil suit, but claimed that the assault npon him was unproved. Yes terday crawiora wont to Dollce headquarters and made complaint and Captain Eason was called upon to make an investigation. Captain Eason was not at the Classon avenue station when a reporter of the Kaqle called there this morning, but Sergeant William KniDe. who was on duty at the desk, said that Detect ive Deiehanty bad been investigating the matter.

"From what we have learned." he said. "this talk by Crawford of an attempt to rob his store by tbo two men who remained outside ot his house is nonsense. He has no interest in the store, which is run in his wife's name. The men who went to his house on Wednesday night, went tuere to serve a summons on Mrs. craw ford in a suit brought by Cook, Bonheim Co.

of 144 Franklin street, New York, to recover ouu ior liquors lurnisnea to the drug store. The bill, I am told, has been standing for more than a year, and Seth Sprague Terry of 10 Wall street, counsel for tho firm, has made many attempts to serve papers upon Mrs. crawrora, who has on eaeh occasion, I am told, denied her identity. Last Wednesday night four men went to Crawford's house. They stopped and looked in the store to see whether or not airs.

Crawford was there. When they were satisfied that she was not in the store two of them went Crawford resi dence, and when told that Mrs. Crawford was in, pushed the door open and went up to her room. She refused to take the summons they handed her, and they (iroppeu it at ner ieet. tney were descend ing the stairs they met Crawford, who had hurried around from his storo.

He tried to block the way, and when one of the men pushed him aside, urawiord struck him in the eye, blackening it. Tho other man hurried to the assistance of his companion and Craw lord called for help. A young man, who boards in Crawford's house, run down from upstairs and kicked tho other man, knocking out two ot his teeth. The two men who were outside one of whom is the father of the man whom Crawford struck ran to the house, for all the parties in the fight had by this time got to tho stoop and they gave Crawford and bis boarder a thrashing. The matter was reported by Patrolman Finn and an offloer was sent to drug store to whom Crawford said that he sould not reeognize any of his assailants; therefore the case was entered on the blotter simply as a reference case." Offloer Garrison did not have time yestetday to serve the warrant given to him, as after he had finished up business at the court and eaten his supper ne was detailed for duty at a strawberry festival.

This morning Justice Watson sat for Justice Haggerty and finished up business quickly, so before noon officer Garrison visited Mr. xerry's office in Wall street. New York, and served the warrant upon the man who admitted he had struok Crawford, after he had first been assaulted by the druggist. Mr. Terry accompanied Officer Garrison and his prisoner to Brooklyn.

Someone called on Weinz to trot out his canary and have him whoop up "Daisy Bell." Goodman was called in from the garden and told to sing the song requested. Not being ravorably impressed with his audience, he declined, saying ho was no bird and wasn't hired te sing.
