IT IS NOT SIGNED The Contract With the Mitchell Vance Company. What Grcany Got for Putting U) a Grand Stand One Job in Which He Had Every thinsr His Own Way. The contract for furnishing gas fixtures for tho new Thirty second Regiment Armory, which was awarded by tho Board of Supervisors to tho Mitchell Yanco Company, of New York, they being the highest bidders, was to have been signed this morning at tho office of the Clerk to the Board of Supervisors, but up to noon, at which nour tne oiuce was ciosou until Monday, no member or representative of the firm of tho Mitchell Yanco Compauy had put in an appearance. Tho suspicious circumstances under which this con tract was awarded by tho Board of Su pervisors, through a committee composed of seven Democrats and one Republican, wero fully exposed in Thursday's Eaole. It has been clearly shown that the Mitchell Vance Com pany violated the express provisions of their sworn propo tal.

No payments can bo legally mado to them unless they deliberately swear falsely. Since tho revelations appeared in tho Eaole John E. Grcany and his side partner, Charley Hartshorn, havo been in a state of mind and Hartshorn has been vibrating, iu a rapid and excited condition, between the oflico of the clerk to the Boar of Supervisors and the office of the Mitchell Vance Company, in New York. Hartshorn took the contract from Clerk Cad ley's office yesterday morning to tho office of the Mitchell Vance Company for the pur pose of having the firm's seal affixed there to. It was exacted around the Supervisors' room that the contract would have been signed yesterday, aud there was surprise over its lion appear ance.

It was looked for anxiously to day, and the gloom deepened on John E. Greany's moon like face as tire minutes went by without bringing back Charley and the contract. A few minutes before noon to day there came a message, over the phone, from the Mitchell Vance Company saying that President and ex Couca essnian Charles L. Mitchell was indisposed, mid that, on that account, the contract would bo signed on Monday morning. When this nevs was announced Grcany sighed and went away.

That sonic members of the Board of Supervisors love John E. Greany like a brother, is shown by the handsome way in which they remembered him on the occasion of the celebration of tho Centcnni.il of the Inauguration of The Father of His Country. To an unprejudiced observer it would seem as though the celebration hud been arranged by the Board of Supervisors not so much for the benefit of George Washington's memory as for the benefit of ex Supervisor John E. Grcany. It was one of the most unblushing frauds practiced by tho Board of Supervisors on the taxpayers of Kings County.

On April II, the Supervisors appointed a special committee ot live members to arrange every detail of the Centennial celebration so far as the Board was concerned. This committee was composed of these Supervisors; Lamb, Conly, Juengst, Watson and Anderson. The committee had full pow. to act and the first thing it did was to give to John E. Grcany tho job of erecting a grand stand in Xew York.

No effort was mado to got proposals or estimates by tho committee from bona lido builders. Greany's bill amounted to J4.503.00, and it was ordered paid on May It! without a murmur. Grcany lives at 3.M Albany avenue, in the Twenty fourth Ward, but he has no place of business and he doesn't pretend to have any. Ho has no oflico. no shop, no anything which marks a bona fide busi nous man, except a pocketful of elegantly engraved cards iu the highest stylo of th art, ono of which lie left at the ollice of the Brooklyn Gas Fixture Company.

He will bid on a case of beer ns iiuick as on a hen coop or an armory locker, and whenever the Board of Supervisors is concerned he stands as much chance of getting the contract for supplying one as he does for supplying the other.

Thirteen year old Alexander McKenna, who re sided with his parents at 411 Hamilton avenue. died at the Brooklyn Hospital last night from alcoholism, according to the report of the attend ing physician. The boy was found in an un conscious condition, Thursday evening, in a Jum. ber yard on Hamilton avonne, opposite his house. He was lying between two piles of lumber, and from a out on the back of his head it was at first supposed that ho had fallen.

His brother and another boy carried him across the street to his home, aud after his mother and neighbors had worked on him to bring him to consciousness without bucccchs, an ambulance wasHummoned and tho patient was removed to the City Hospital. There tho doctor pronouueed him suffering from alcoholism. The boy was nn conscious from the time he was admitted into the hospital up to the time of his death last night. It was said that the boy had been employed to carry cans of beer to some men wlio were working along the canal, and that he had imbibed so freely that ho became stupefied. Detective Powers, of tho Eighth Freeinet, was detailed in the case as soon as it was reported to the police, and made a thorough investigation.

Ho was un able to ascertain that the boy had been carrying beer for any men that day. Tho boy's mother said that she had sent him to the store at 4 o'clock in tho afternoon for a loaf of bread and at that time she noticed nothing unusual in his appearance. After that ha was out to play and she saw nothing of him until he was brought into the house in an unconscious condition. The authorities of tho Brooklyn Hospital said this afternoon that alcoholism was a contrib utory cause of tho boy's death, but that the immediate cause was an abscesa iu he liver, which ruptured when the boy fell. Thero was also a cut the back of the lad'a head which caused con cussion of the brain, the skull being very thin.

COFFIN PLATES. Engravers Who Fear to Offend the Undertakers. The Opposition to Cheap Funerals Vakiag Itself Apparent Trouble in an Unexpected (Quarter. Now it is the cheerful subject of coffin plates over which there is a stpiubblo with the United States Funeral Directing Company, of Bedford avenue. They are seeking to prevent tho company from having their plates engraved in this city, and Stevenson Mantel's, of Fulton Btreet, who have done work for the company, have refused to do any more.

First the fi lit wan on the question of carriages, as recently reported in the Eaole, and Liveryman Johnson, of Cumberland street lost a number of undertake? customers because he supplied carriages to the company. The latter has arranged forcar iages with Mr. Johnson, however, by guarantee ng him a monthly amount equal to that he re ived from the undertakers, without reference to the number of carriages used. To day a rep cseutative of Agent J. H.

Kump told an Eaole eporter of tho new trouble in the Bed ford avenue office, Mr. Kump being also present. "On Tuesday and Wednesday last," said tho representative, "I had three plates engraved by Stevenson Marsters and paid for thoiu. Yesterday I brought two more there but the engraver held a whispered conversation with Mr. Marsters and the latter refused to take my work saying that he had about a hundred undertakers as customers and he didn't want to offend them.

I thought it a very pretty piece of business. Wo can have our plates engraved in Philadelphia by sending on thero but tho trouble is too great. Finally I got E. G. Webster Sons, of Atlantic avenue, to engrave this for a funeral we have this afternoon," and tho speaker showed a silver cross with tho name Kerns Eagen engraved thereon and stating the deceased was 50 years Old "We've had live funerals already this the speaker, "and expect to increase our business right along" rubbing his hands together in pleasurable anticipation.

"We aro going to have oO.OOO or dodgers printed and distributed telling of the cheapness of our concluded the speaker, and his countenance glowed in pleasant expectation of the run his shop would have on shrouds aud coffins and other paraphernalia dead men cut a dash in when they escort their friends on a carriage ride to the outskirts of the city. Mr. Marsters was seen, and ho admitted tie refused to do any more work for the funeral man facturers; not that he had been requested to do so by any undertaker or association of undertakers, but because he didn't wish to lose the custom he has had for a long time. Webster can do tho company's work," said Mr. Marsters, because he doesn't do any undertaker's work, but if the business of the company increases they will eventually engage an engraver of their owu." Mr.

J. M. Hoppor, of Court street, tho president of tho Undertakers' Association, was seen, and he said tho association had not taken any action on the subject of engraving coOin plates, nor did he know it was tacitly agreed to among the members. He was opposed to having any controversy with the new company, because it only brought it into prominence. He knew some undertakers charged too high a price for funerals, but tho bad debts iu the profession were heavy and they lost much time waiting for trade to come along.

They weren't selling 5 or 10 cents' worth of anything right along to help pay the rent. The Undertakers' Association will have a meeting Monday evening, in the Wilson Building, but the session will bo an executive one. THROAT TROUBLE AM) MINOR CAUSES 'S he Aligned 6'or (lie Resignation of the Iter. A. Ilititier.

The Rov. Mr. E. A. Haiiier, pastor of the Church of tho Evangel, on Leonard street, after nine years' pastorate tendered his resignation at a special meeting of the church members which ho had convened to attend to important business.

Several attempts wore made to persuade the reverend gentleman to alter his determination. The ouly concession the committee appointed to call upon him could obtain was an alteration of tho week in tho date at which Mr. Hainer had fixed his departure. As matters now stand Mr. Hainer leaves the parish July 8.

In his letter of resignation Mr. Hainer gives as cause for his action "affection of tho throat and other minor cauBes." What the "minor causes" wero did not transpire, but it is loudly whispered in the neighborhood that tho sisters of tho church were interesting themselves rather more forcibly than agreed with the pastor's tastes in his choice of a successor to his late wife who died some three years ago. Messrs. W. F.

Corwith, John Bailey and W. E. Van Velsor were appointed a committee by the church members to draft resolutions of rospoct, expressing tho members' souse of the good work done by Mr. Hairier and the difficulty they would feel in filling his place satisfactorily. Mr.

Hainer comes from a family of clergymen, his father and several brothers being in tho ministry in different parts of this State, Now Jersey and Canada. Ho came to Brooklyn nino ears ago as the successor of the Rev. Martyn Summorbell and has doue effective work for the church and parish of the Evangel. 'YOU DO SOT LOOK LIKE A THIEF." A. You tie; Man Who Told the Judqrc That lie Had Committed Three ltobbcricv.

Mrs. Herman Young was waiting on a customer in her grocery store, 30 Grand street, at 10 o'clock this forenoon. A youth of 17 years, named Herman Ileildman, whose mother is acquainted with Mrs. Young, was also in tho store near tho money drawer. Presently he leaned over and took $5 in bills from the drawer.

The grocery woman had her eye on him, as sho in the same way a few days previously, and getting from behind tho counter held on to him until tho arrival of Officer Rehill, of tho Bedford avenue station. Iu Justice Goottine's court the young mau, who has an open, honest looking countenanco and was well dressed, admitted with tears in her eyes having stolen $12 on three different occasions during the week. In reply to the magistrate's questions he said that he had worked in Howo's shop in New Yojjk as a machinist up to three weeks ago and had never been arrested before. "I will get work and pay the money back," ho pleaded. "If not my mother will pay it." "Has his mother been informed of tho arrest? asked the magistrate.

"Don't toll her, It would break her heart," he cried. "You do not look like a thief." remarked the Court as he remanded the accused for sentence ANOTHER CHILD MISSING. Not Seen Since lie Went to School, Ton Days Affo. Mr. and Mrs.

John Huether, of 220 Stagg street, called on an Eaole reporter yesterday afternoon in much distress and stated that their son, Johr.i aged 12 years, has not boon seen by them since tho morning of June 12, when he left homo to go to St. Nicholas' School, on Olive street. Mr. Huother says that he notified the Sixth Precinct polico on Friday, Juno 14, of tho case, but that so far they havo failed to obtain any tidings of his son. Tho boy, he said, though only 12 years old, is 5 feet 0 inches high aud weighs 150 pounds.

It is noticeable that the little 12 year old girl, Maggie Kaeberlein, whodisappeared so mysteriously from Metropolitan avenue on tho evening of February 27, 1887, waB also an attendant of St. Nicholas' School.

Justice Waring, of Coney Island, yesterday afternoon decided to eject the tenant of the Sea View Hotel, one of the largost at Wost Brighton, after the latter had ooenpied the placo for two years without paying any rent. Tho story is interesting. John McDonald built the Sea Viow several years ago at the terminus of the Brooklyn, Bath and West End Railroad, and it was perfect in all its appointments and under his management successful.

He fell ill aud was compelled to sublet to the firm of Carpenter Wise, who were not so snccessf nl as he. They quarrelled and Carpenter left taking the firm's funds, leaving his partner sadder aud poorer if not more wise. Thomas Hanlon was appointed receiver for tho firm and tried to build up tho shattered business, bringing Elzer F. Leger into tho plan as his manager. Car penter fc Wise had defaulted in tho rent, but in the meantime Mr.

McDonald had died in this city and his affairs were nnsottled, so no means were taken to enforce payment of rent. Hanlon got out of tho receivership, but Leger re mained in the hotel with his wife. This was in the Spring of 1887. Since then thero has been no rent paid for tho hotol, though tho Legers have tried to collect rent from their tenants. On May 31 the first effort to dislodge the Legers was begun by Miss Minnie McDonald and Rev.

Dr William J. Hill, as executors of the will of John McDonald, but it was dismissed on technical grounds. A new suit begun yesterday, and though Leger claimed ho had never taken possession of the hotel and was there only by consent of his wife, Justice Waring decided that ho was the proper defendant and ordered a warrant to issue to day. Notice of appeal was givon, and it is likely Mr. and Mrs.

Leger Will linger in their free home. GOOD SERVICE Done by the Police for the Johnstown Sufferers.

There was a rumor afloat last night to the effect that seven members of the Executive Comniitteo of the United Brotherhood were in town and that an executive meeting was to be held, in which some lino of action in regard to the Cronin mys tery was to bo settled upon. Luko Dillon would neither corroborate nor deny this rumor, though after considerable pressing he finally stated that thero were only four members of the Executive Committee in tlio city at present. Luke Dillon one of that committee, Captain Edward O'Meagher is the second, Mortimer Scanlan is tlio tiiird and tne fourth is tho friend of Alexander Sullivan, Lawrence 11.

Buckley. These gentlemen of themselves cannot hold an cxecutivo session for the obvious reason that live of tho nine members constitutes a quorum. Contrary to expectation Captain Gordon did not arrive in Chicago until late yesterday afternoon. He has taken tip his Quarters with Luke Dillon, at McCoy's Hotel, and probably will remain thero for some time. The captain declined io be inter viewed last night, saying that on the following day he might have something to talk about.

The boat was named the Electra and came from Communipaw. When the party was opposite Fort Lafayette three men in a rowboat drew alongside. They boarded tho catboat and three ofthe men got into the small boat and rowed ashore. They returned with a can of beer and compelled the Italian to play while they drank it. The men became noisy and nearly upset the boat.

Physicians Patient Disagree, but the is Eecovering. The Health Board TH11 Not Let Up on Dr. Cohort Is It Yellow or Remittent Fever 1 It in a case of doctors disagreeing. Dr. Smith, the Health Officer of the Port, says that Dr.

Duncan has remittent fever; the physicians of the Brooklyn Health Department say he has yellow fever. Tho peoplo pay for these opinions and can take their choice. But tho Brooklyn Health Department, by its prompt action in the matter, hw made, all possible danger to the public impossible and feels that it has done what it is paid for doing. Commissioner Griffin said to day. "When Dr.

Bogert telephoned to Deputy Commissioner Young lato on Tuesday night, he said that Dr. Duncan's case was suspiciously like yellow fever. He was asked if it was safe to wait for any further developments and replied that it was not. Tho department took immediate action. Dr.

Sanborn, the Deputy Health Officer of the Tort, on Tuesday afternoon visited Dr. Duncan and diagnosed his case as one of yellow fever. Tho officials at Quarantine on Wednesday sent their own steam launch to take tho patient away. The doctor who came up on it, pronounced the case to be one of yellow fever. This department diagnosed it as such, and still believes it to bo one.

As to tho statement published lust evening over the signature of a number of physicians, protesting against the quarantining of Dr. Bogert, I have only to say that this department simply did what it thought was necessary for preserving the health of tho public. These doctors did not object to the iuar antiiiing of the house and all within it. They did not utter a word until one of their own brethren was con lined. I'll like to know how long the officials of this department would be retained if they had waited for Dr.

Duncan's case to develop and spread contagion abroad? Why, tho public would demand our instant removal. We are here for the express purpose of preventing an outbreak of disease and to take all proper measure; to accomplish that purpose." Another ofi'uial of tho Health Department said: "It is an easy enough thing for the Quarantine officers, now that they have the patient in their own charge at Swinburne Island, to call the disease whatever they like. It is in every way to their interest to make Iho case out something else than yellow fever, after permitting thoftetinor Colon, iu which the disease was brought to this port, to pass Quarantine. They do not want to stultify themselves if they can help it. Xev tlieless, they have taken the patient to Swin burne Island and placed him iu the pest house.

They have also caused the Colon to be fumigated All this conflicts with their assertion that the case is not one of yellow fever." Dr. Bogert, who first notified the Health Department of Dr. Duncan's illness, is greatly ex ereised over his detention iu the house, 17:1 Hancock street. He will probably bring a suit against tho city, but not so much, he says, to recover tin matted as to establish the prooriety of his own action in the case. Baldwin Strauss, the counsui of the Health Department, was aske 1 io day what had become of the warrant that iiad been issued for Dr.

Bogert's arrest. He a "It is in tho hands of Officer Grant, who will probifbly serve it to day and notify the do tor to be iu court on Monday It is not intention to let the matter drop. Wo think our ease is a perfect one and will press it to a decision. Dr. Bogert admitted iu tho presence of several officials that he believed Dr.

Dunc.in was Buffering from yellow fever." TOO MUCH OF A nULLAIIALLOO. To lhi Eiltior ofie Urouklini Kauto: I notice in to Sun that Dr. Duncan, surgeon of the Steamship Colon, was feeling so much better as to lead him to remark that "he could go right back to the Isthmus of Panama." This is no more than I expected to hear. I have been surgeon on the same Steamship Colon for three years and in other vessels of ttie same company for three years more oil' and on, and have had several such attacks as Dr. Duncan.

If it were yellow fever I do not, believe should have had a recurrence of an attack, as yellow fever, as my extended experience with the disease has taught to me, never strikes the same person the second time. One att.ick gives immunity from future attacks. Were Dr. Duncan suffering from this dreaded disease I do not think, as my experi enco teaches, that there would be such a marked change for the better in such a short time. I know full well that death comes quickly in the majority of eases when it takes off its victim, but I never saw or knew of sudden change for the better us being one.

of the phases of the disease as exhibited by Duncan. I do not think the physieians connected with Duncan's case acted slowly enough. N'o doubt haste and energy should he our policy when any suspicions of contagious disease arise. Dr. Duncan was acting as surgeon of a ship coming from a tropical country where such diseases as yellow fever exist, and from the f'unher fact thatthi re were twootiu rpusscngers who died, one on board from some form of fever and the other dying after coming ashore, the conclusion was hastily come to Jr.

Duncan must have yellow fever. The plain, simple, died fact is that he is suffering from mal.iri.'i! level' of pernicious character, the pernieiouse.ess of the attack being characterized perhaps by marked biliary derangement, giving it a resemblance to yellow fever. I hope my pivfessitmul brethren will not say I am rushing into print unnecessarily, but. 1 do not think the public should be wrought up to such a pitch of excitement as to cause them to shut up their houses by such procedure us our Board of Health resorted to. Dr.

Bogert has been subjected to an indignity that I would not tolerate for one moment, policeman or no policeman. I would" not subject myself to incarceration quarantine, so called. Post hoc ivro hue. BeeatiBC Dr. Duncan came from a yellow fever country and he presents symptoms of disease some of which arc similar to yellow fever must he necessarily have M.

LONG ISLAM) CASES AKGl'EI) He fore tin Court of Appeals, in Session at Saratoga. Arguments were heard yesterday by tho Court of Appeals, in! session at Saratoga, in the following local cases: In reopening of Marine avenue, in the town of New Utrecht.

to On the Fifth Avenue Elevated Yesterday. Tho Line Formally Opened This Morninsr. Twelve Minutes from tho Bridge to Tiiird Street Rapid Transit for South Brooklyn at Last. South Brooklyn had a new noise added to its charms yesterday. It waa the roar and rumble.

screech and jar of the elevated railroad. The Union Elevated Railroad Company ran its firs train over tho Fifth avenue Hue as far as tho Washington Park ball ground, at Third street, preparatory to the opening for public traffic this morning. A special train of throe cars, in char of Conductor Peter J. Collins and Trainman Frank A. Philips, with Engineer Harry Devine and Fireman Jacob Brady iu one cab, pulled out of the Bridge station at 4:10 anil whizzed away through Adams street, Myrtle Hudson and Flatbush avenues to Fifth, and thence down to the Third street station in exactly eight niin utes.

No stops were made on the down trip, and there were no formalities at the end of it, but all aiong the way South Brooklyn heads were poked ontof South Brooklyn windows, South BrooKlyn girls smiled sweetly at the galliut engineer and South Brooklyn boys shouted "Hooray" with lusty enthusiasm. The company on board tho train climbed out at Third street and turned instinctively to look at the ball ground and see if a game was on. There wasn't any, and tho company sighed sadly, consoling itself with a suggestion to tho management that seats bo arranged at an elevation on the platform, so that tiic Board of Directors could como down on after noons and watch the Bridegrooms scoot for bases. The gentleman on board tho train wore ox Mayor James Howell, Seth L. Keeuey, Elbert Snedeker, Stephen PettitB, General Manager Frederick Martin, Geueral George W.

Wiugate, A. J. Hardenburgh, U. A. Pollard, Superintendent Edwards, Track Superintendent Simmons, Police.

Captain Eason, W. D. Garrett, W. F. Daley, Dr.

N. Robinson, Dr. Cox, Chief Engineer Nich oIh, Auditor W. B. Lougyear, Accountant John P.

Davis, H. B. Smith, H. F. Gunnison, J.

Edward Smith, Architect Mumford, J. II. Reagan and Mr. Roberts, of tho I'encoyd Iron Company, who aro constructing tho road. The return trip was made with engineer E.

Bobbins at the throttle, and W. II. Hamilton, fireman, on another engine. There was no hurry about getting back. Stops were made at alt the statious to permit an inspection.

Tho stations open to day aro at Hudson ivenue and Fulton street, Flatbush and Fifth avenues, St. Marks place, Union utreet and Third street. It is confidently expected that the iron work to Twenty sixth street will bo all erected by July 13, The Pencoyd Company had been hampered a great deal oy tne I'eiiiisylvania noods, wjncli have operated to cut off its coal supply and also by a prior contract on the Myrtle avenue branch of the road. The shops havo now completed tho iron for Myrtle avenue out to the Ridgewood terminus and this wdl also be in place by July 15, while the full energy of the works can now bo devoted to completing the material for Fifth The road is being pushed along the latter route with special energy to capture a share of tho Coney Island trade. A depot will bo built to connect on tho level witli the Brooklyn, Bath and West Knd Station.

There is a strong disposition among the directors of the Bath road to induce the elevated people to run evening and Sunday express trains, direct through from the bridge to Coney Island over their line, it being an easy matter to connect their termini in South Brooklyn. It opens up also easy access to the growing suburbs of Bath ihkI Bensoulnirrtt, from which great things are expected. By putting in a curve at Myrtle avenue, the former dangerous grade crossing is avoided and the South Brooklyn trains will run through via Myrtle avenue and Adams street to the bridge. It is intended also to run the upper Myrtle avenue and Lexington avenue trains by putting in another curve at Hudson avenue, through Park avenue, and thence over the old route to the bridge and ferry, thus doubling their convenience. General "Manager Martin has set tile time between the bridge and the ball grounds at twelvo minutes, including all stops.

Tho Pencoyd peoplo havo done some of their best construction work on this line. The girders are all plate, long and smooth, painted a light green and as littlo obstructive to the illumination of tho street below as such things can be. The iron has been erected wiih more than ordinary dispatch. The long delay caused by obstructive legal proceedings has been in a measure overcome bj tho energy with which the work has been pushed. The road had its beginning in 1K.S7 and was built from Park and Hudson avenues to Flatbush and Fifth in that year.

Injunctions on Fifth avenue prevented the continuance of putting down foundations and led to the stoppage of all work. The legal difficulties were supplemented with injunctions from the tenant of tho building at Fulton street arid Hudson avenue and tho Music Hall property. It took more than a year to brush these things away. The pathway to Twenty sixth street is now clear and at last South Brooklyn has real rapid transit. BRIDGE TRUSTEES APPOINTED.

Mis. Lizzio Sherman, who was arrested last night for having a pistol iu her possession, was taken to tho Tombs Court, New York, to day. Policeman Raleigh repeated the story told in tho morning papers. Then Judge Hogan asked the woman for an explanation. Sho gave one, or rather, several.

So did her husband. First it was that sho had the pistol becauso Bho was afraid of being insulted on the streets. Then sho stated that she had taken the pistol out to draw the cartridges from it. 'Previously she had stated that she had not the slightest knowledge of pis tols and was afraid to touch one. Then the husband stepped forward and relieved himself of an incoherent story about having performing goats, dogs and a monkey.

He had substituted the pistol for a cannon in his act with the goats. Then he said tho pistol had been loaded with ball cartridges for the first time last night and that he had loaded it so as to be prepared for anyone that might come to his house to steal tfie dogs. Next he said his wife and himself had quarreled and she had said to him: You'd better let me havo that pistol, as you're very quiok tempered." Ho gave it to her. All through his statement Sherman appeared anxious to throw off the suspicion that his wife was about to shoot him, though that had not been charged against her. Judge Hogan discharged Mrs.

Sherman. The couple arc employed iu an uptown circus. XIECE AU.VT. The Former Says She Was Not Fed and Treated Properly. Mrs.

Margaret Boyle is an inmato of tho Flatbush Asylum, to which sho was consigned by the City Court in September of last vcar, upon the petition of her brothers and sisters. She has about $10,000 in real estate in South Brooklyn. Johanna Brady and Thomas J. Brady, her brother and sister, were appointed a committee of their sister's person and estate. They also took chargo of tho two children by a former marriage, and whose names are Mamie and Lizzie Colligan.

The oldest girl, Mamie, aged 10, made an affidavit stating that her undo and aunt treated herself and sister badly; that they were not ullowed sufficient food, although thoro was plenty in tho house; that Bhe was refused a bed and had to sleep on tho floor. Finally she says she was driven from homo and that her aunt made an attempt to have her incarcerated in tho House of the Good Shepherd.

She now lives in Newark with her stepfather's sister. The girl's relatives on the mother's sido deny all these allegations. Judge Van Wyck dismissed the motion without prejudico to ita renewal in tho Surrogate's Court. HAGGIK GIVES A HOME.

"If you think I look bad you onght to see the othor follow," is the' familiar reply of the gentleman who has been engaged in a scrimmage when friends twit him on his appearauce. That's about tho position of Herbert W.

Clapp, grocer, of 070 Fulton street, with reference to Mr. I. B. Lowitz. Mr.

Clapp admits having been Btuok for $5,785 by Mr. Lowitz, but there is another victim in comparison with whom Mr. Clapp was luoky. That is Mr. S.

B. Jones, tho ex dry goods merchant of tho corner of Fulton and Johnson streets. Mr. Jones said this niorniug: "I knew Mr. Lowitz's father for 20 years, and dealt with him extensively.

I know during tho latter part of that time that he had such a sou as I. B. Lowitz, but I had no relations with tho latter till January of 1888, about a month before I retired from business, when ho hired from mo the basement of my store till the end of my lease, and put in a stock of goods to sell on commission. He Bold them and olosed up that transaction satisfactorily to all concerned unless I am mistaken. When I went out of business in tho early Spring of 1888, Mr.

Lowitz took the balance of my goods to soil in his store or offico at 529 Broadway on commission. My goods were invoiced to him for seven or eight thousand dollars, but as they were tho leavings of a largo stock they were probably not so valuable. Mr. Lowifz has not made any accounting to me for those goods. He Bold thoni all off in largo parcels to small dealers.

I don't know where those goods are now. They are probably distributed among tho general pubpe. Very shortly after I delivered my goods to Mr. Lowitz I began to find him out. Ho camo to me ono day and told me he had contracted to deliver a lot of imported cloths and was temporarily short of money and the house he was dealing with wanted some guarantee.

I indorsed for him. He sold the goods and got the money for them in ton days and evaded payment of the bill. It amounted to $1,400. I had to pay it In the meantime I had guaranteed tho other payments and when they fell due I had to make good after Lowitz was found to bo bad. Tho second payment was $2,500.

So altogether I havo lost my goods 000 cash to Mr. Lowitz. I imagined that when I retired from business I was going to have ease and peace, but Mr. Lowitz has made this the hardest year I ever had. His evasions and lies and excuses are endless, and he is a hard man to Jcatch.

About a motnli ago I finally got him into court on supplomcntri pro ceedings to hud out how ho is financially. He swore two weeks ago that tho oflioo at 520 Broad way was not his at all, but belonged to O'Connor, whom he had previously represented a his con fidential man. I am going to sue him criminally also, through my lawyer, Mr. Chedsey. of the Stewart Building.

My lawyer says that Lowitz hi an extraordinary young man. Ho seems absolutely incapable of telling the truth. I iije that ho has made friends with his brother again. Housed to abuso his brother ami say ho was a scamp. He said his brother had married a wealthy girl and was wasting her fortune.

He also said his brother robbed him. Ho always denied gamb ling or the races. I spoke to him about it last Summer, but hn said that he only went to the track occasionally and then did not bet his own money, but the money of friends who put a foir dollars in his hands that he might buy tickets for tneiu." The following letter from Mr. Lowitz arrived at tho Eaoi.e oflico this morning: To tho. Editor of the llrook lim Engle I have frone over mv trjiiwn.

For several days a warrant issued by tho District Attorney has been out for tho arrest of John Smith, alias Patrick Walsh, who was indicted a few days ago on a charge of robbing a drunken man in Hartnian's saloon on Flatbush avenue. Tho bartender gave the alarm.

It will be remembered that when tho case first came before the Grand Jury, for some unxplaincd reason was dismissed and Smith was released. He was the man whose mado up ex Justice Massey's big fee, which has been tlio subject of some discussion. The court gave leave to District Attorney ltidgwayto bring the case before the next Grand Jury, and there an indictment was found for larceny in the first degree and the warrant issued. Yesterday Smith was arrested in New York on a chargo of picking tho pockets of one Kelly, and was locked np. Word was sent over to Brooklyn and District Attorney Ridgway went over to New York and secured an order for Smith's surrender on the warrant.

This morning officers were sent over and Smith will bo brought to Brooklyn this afternoon and committed to jail, and on Monday will bo arraigned to plead to tho indictment. DECLARED OF UNSOUXD HIND.

The unfortunate gentleman is now an inmato of a private asylum at Hartford, Conn.

He is a son in law of Senator James F. Pierce, and the petition to the court was made by Mr. Read's wife. The evidence included an affidavit by Dr. Spitzka that the patient is suffering from paresis, which began to develop about a year ago, and which was produced by excessive devotion to business.

He was sent to the asylum last Winter after his return fro a Journey South, taken iu the hope of improving his health. Thero is no possible hope for recovery. Mr. Road was a broker, and his delusions are related to his former business. Ho imagines ho is possessed of boundless wealth aud conducting vast financial operations.

Beoauso he was a witness in tho accident case tried in the Circuit Court an indictment was found against him. His being a witness was purely accidental aud resulted from tho fact that ho was coming out of a neighboring cigar store at tho time of tho accident and saw Mrs.

Du Bois fall from the car. Beyond tho fact that he was subpenaed as a witness, he had no connection with the parties in the case on either Bide. Mr. Rodgors is a reputable gentleman and his indictment was not necessary. The dismissal of tho chargo fully exonerates him.

CmoAoo, 111., Juno 32. A morning paper says: "The condition of the Braidwood miners is one to call forth the com miseration and the immediate practical help of people of tho United States.

At this time not ounce of coal is being mined, and the inhabitants at tho point of starvation." of at Tho The Secretary Orders Another Suit of Clothes, He Will Yisit tho Nayy Yard on Monday and Substantial Results Are Anticipated in Consequence. General Benjamin F. Tracy, the Secretary of the Navy, arrived at his Montague street resi. donee last night. This morning he visited sev eral old acquaintances in the city and talked over Brooklyn affairs with them.

Then he dropped into his tailor's on Montague street and or dered a new suit ot clothes. The Secretary never never looked better in his life. Ho says that the climate Washington, even in this hot weathor, was agreeing with htm excellently. Local politicians expect to see, as a result of his visit, a speedy settling up of many of the littlo differ ences that have of late disturbed the organiza tion. No one is better able to pour oil on the troubled waters than the General.

His great popularity with all factions, his fine repn tation for honest polities and directness in deal ing with matters of this kind cause his judgment to be hold in high value. On Monday the Secre tary will inspect the Navy Yard and see for him self how things are being run in the big Govern ment inclosure by the Wallabout. Young Super visor Willis' friends still hold that he will be named as the next Surveyor of the Port of New York, and they aro preparing to give him a great send off if his appointment comes along next week, as is anticipated. There is considerable speculation going on Just at present among the officers at the yard over the probable result of Secretary Tracy's visit. It was thought ho might run in on Uncle Sam's plantation to day, to surprise tho men at their work and judge for himself as to tho manner in which affairs at the yard are conducted Cap" tain Joseph N.

Miller, howeyer, who is acting commandant the absence of Commodore Ram say on account of sickness, said to day he had ie ceived no notice from tho Secretary of his inteu. tion to visit the yard. Usually tho announce ment is made at least a day or two beforehand, There aro rumors of all sorts afloat about tho significance of the changes among the lino ollicors, not only at th Brooklyn yard but at nearly every yard throughout the country, which are timed for July 1. Beyond a doubt some of the transfers ordered from the Brooklyn yard are made to facilitate its use for political pur poses, and it is prophesied that a number of still greater importance will shortly follow. Pay master Looiiih, the general storekeeper, will be placed on waiting orders July l.

He was the in stigator of the investigation made by Paymaster Allen last Winter, which resulted in the dischargo of a numbar of Republicans from tho Provisions and Clothing Department, who wero promptly replaced by good Democrats. To this fact, to gether with the opposition he is known to have incurred from several influential Government contractors, is attributed hij detachment, despite the assurance be had received from Secretary Whitney that his assignment for this station was to last three years. A politician who keeps pretty well posted on Navy Yard matters told an Eaole reporter to day that the local leaders were crying for "new gold lace" at the yard, and this must come before smooth sailing in the management of tho patron age there conld be expected. When Commodore Walker, who is commonly believed to havo owned the Navy under Secretary Whitney, was here a few days ago, ho was unmercifully quizzed by officers who have spent some time on this station and would like to stay some more as to the like lihood of a general sweep by Mr. Tracy.

One of tho interrogators afterward remarked that Walker was as good as a Chinese puzzle. His answers indicated that ho does not stand by any means in the relation of the power behind the throne with Tracy or that he had much information which he did not dare to divulge. Information of a somewhat surprising change was given out by an officer at work on the Maine to day, to tho effect that Lieutenant Paul, the line officer whom Secretary Whitney sent here for duty in connection with tho construction of the. new cruiser, had boon detached. The lieutenant some months ago made application to bo transferred to some other duty.

Whether or not Secretary Tracy will con tinueSeoretary Whitney's policy of detailing lino officers for responsible dutieB iu the construction of ships, against which the naval constructors and staff officers generally so strongly protest, is a question tho determination of which is being awaited anxiously. Captain Howell's com mission for the testing of gun carriages have como on from Annapolis and will short! test the Chicago's gnu carriages, TflE JOHNSTOWN FUND. Public Sympathy and Generosity Still in Aclivc Operation latest Contribu lioiiN. Tho variety of sources from which contributions continue to como in for Johnston indicate that there is yet much work which has been organized, but not yet fully developed, to be heard from. One of the latest instances is one, preparation for which involved considerable arrangement, rehearsal, etc.

It is stated briefly as follows: A children's entertainment took placo Thursday, June 20, at the residence of Mrs. W. D. Sul phin, 110 Hall street, in aid of the Johnstown sufferers. The parlors wero handsomely decorated with Hags.

Ofc.tnnan CJoimnittoo on bcaool HouMS, BEER DRINKING Are Brooklyn School Children Stupefied by It? Th Ladies Responsible for What Looks like a Gross Libel Take Refuge in Evasions They Won't Give Cases in Poiuf.

If children who attend tho public Hpliooli of this city go to their cI. imox in the afternoon HtupcfieiJ beer which they litive rtnmk. at their tlinnera a Known oniy oy tno jnuiua niiu uuiu nunc a certain committee of lnventitfation 01 tho Women's Christian Temperance League, and thisy won't tell. On thin and one or two other points in their allegation asainst the schools Mrs. IJiuiulago and other ladies of the committee positively refuse to give the names of tho teachers who aro their authority for such statements.

They will not even say in what schools the beer drinking has been noticed, and there is a general "Can't do it" about all they say on tho matter that recalls the moral of Esop's fable of "Tho Thief and tho Innkeeper." In ft communication to Mayor Chupin on last Thursday from the Women's Christian Temperance League, wan the following: Some teachers candidly told tho committee that after the noon hour 'oaie of their boys and girls were no stupefied with their beer dinners that they were unable to stndy. That statement was sigued by Mrs. A. H. Bnin dago, president; MrB.

Harriets. Pritehard, secretary: Mm Mary Berry, Mrs. I'. S. Dukcshire.

Miss Alary Smith, Mrs. rulvcr, Mrs. Ella liond andothoiB. Mi b. Urundage, who is the wife of a physician, waa found at her homo.

Five of the other ladies were not at home when the reporter called heforo 0 P. M. Mrs. Tritchard was found at her residence at 7 o'clock, having just returned from an all day tempeianco meeting of tho Women's Christian Temperance Union No. 2.

Mrs. Brundago looks like a lady fully able to lead the league in any aggressive move has a good deal of what is known as political shrewdness. She was at Mrs. l'ritcliaid almost as quick as the reporter aim cau tioned that lady saying "too mueji. When tho reporter first saw Mrs.

Brundagc at her own residence, on Madison street, tho following conversation took place: "The Eagle would like to know in what schools children have been seen who were stupefied by beer and unable to study." "It would not do for us to tell that; the teachers would bo discharged." "I am not asking for the names of the teachers; only for the number of one of the schools in which this has been noticed." "Oh, no, we couldn't do that." "Why "We won't do it." "Don't you believe that if you persist in snch a course tho public will think that yon haven't got tiny such a statement from any kcIkkiI "Wo don't care what the public thinks." Tho lady then asked tho reporter to deny in the Eagle the following statement attributed to her Jii a morning paper: Any school teacher in this city will tell you if you auk her that it is not a rare occurr noe to see a child intoxicated or stupid during sehool hours. That children should be commonly found in at least one school whoso brains are stupefied by eor was serious enough to bo further inquired reporter wiio called on Mrs. Harriet f'ritenard. That Jaay was willing enongn to talk about the law and the use of text book in the schools to teach abstinence from liquor. Iieer and tobacco; but inquiry for proof that children go to school stupefied by beer was as fruitless as a search in Euclid for an essay on tin; evils of beer drinking.

All that she would say was this: "I once asked two children on Floyd street to come to our school on Saturday, where wc would teach them temperance. Both of them, little girls, said they couldn't live without Another paragraph in tho communication to Mayor Chupin, reads as follows: One principal actually could not toll in which grade this study must be taught until he had recourse to a school manual. Both Mrs. Brnndiige and Pritchard refused to say who that principal was. The report that such a principal had been found was niado Sirs.

Pulver and ill rs. l.lln Bond, wli live Ot. 1i If, III I ''t Ullll Hid nil try department of the Central Grammar School. Another remarkable statement of the committee is that one principal said he was not teaching the study referred to, but would like to. This was said, it is stated, by Mrs.

Pritchard in School No. 20, on Kcap street, near North Second. Sarah S. Hunt is principal. The law bearing on this subject, which was passed in ss and went into effect in has special reference to instruction in the public schools of this State on tlio effects of alcoholic drinks, stimulants and narcotics upon the human system.

The Women's Christiam Temperance League claims that the subject is taught with text books in only eleven schools. Mrs. "Mary Smith, of Lexington avenue, reports that it is taught only nrallv in Schools 1, 5, 01, 7, I (12, li 1, Gf, 0(! and 18. Mrs. T.

S. Dnkeshire, of 1 IH Fourteenth street, is the wife of a well known Prohibitionist who once ran for Alderman at Large on his party's ticket. She visited the following schools and says tho temperance subject is if. taught heknv the fourth grammar grade schools 2, (i, 8, 27, li'i, IIP, and 00. Mrs.

Mary Berry says she visited several school) including No. and that physiology, but' not temperance, is taught in I hem. Mrs. Berry is the wife of tin.1 well known temperance agitator in the Twenty first Ward. Mrs.

Ella Bond and Mrs. Pulver report that they found one principal who said hi' thought tho subject bijonged to the Sunday school. Superintendent Maxwell, of the Public Schools, said that the course of study includes observation lessons on that subject in the fourth primary grade in all the schools. "This," he said, "is taught in all tho schools, to law. Some time a State Superintendent Draper was appealed to by some schools 111 tuc interior oi uie mine, as 10 wueuier uie tmliiWl.

Mr. Maxwell added that he had repeatedly visited the schools, and had never known children to come to school stupefied by their "beer dinners." RAISING THE DETECTIVES PAY.
