Mrs, Margaret Spiuella died on August 2 1 in One Hundred and Ninth stroot, Now York, from puerperal fever, so tho attending physician ro ported at tho Buroan of Vital Statistics.

Sho told tho coroner that her sister had boon beaten to death, and that her body was covered with blood and blue bruisos.

Tho coronor did not believe her story and sent her away. To day sho told tho same to Dr. Naglo at Sanitary Hoadquarters. The doctor got rid of hor by directing hor to the District Attorney's office, aud gave hor a note to the clork explaining tho situation. BRUTAL BLOWS For the Man "Who Identified Martin Burke.

A Gangr Makes a Desperate Attempt to Assassinate Tiusmith Kiahre The Re suit of His Connection With tho Croniu Case. CnicAoo, 111., August 28. A desperate attempt was made last night to assassinate Gus Kiahre, tho tinsmith, who last week identified Martin Burke as tho man for whom he soldered together a tin box May 0, which it is supposed coutained the clothing of Dr. Cn)niu. At 0 o'clock last night he was walking eastward to his homo on Ohio street.

When within a block of his homo ho was assaulted by ten or a dozon young men. They knocked him down, beat him about the head with some blunt instrument aud threw him ovor a fonce to the ground bo low, a distance of twelve foot. He struggled to his feet, calling for help, and ran toward home. His brother and tlie servant girl heard his screams aud they ran out toward him. His assailants sprang over tho fenco after liim and pursued him almost to his door.

His mother heard one of tho pursuers shout with an Irish brogue: "Givo it to him." That remark is the only clew to tho assailants. He fell as ho entered tlie door. Kiahre remained unconscious before anything could bo learned from him as to the assault mid up to a Into hour was still unable to speak or recognizo anyone. Tho family say ho has no enemies unless ho had made them by his statements in the Crouin case. No arrests have been made in the case.

At 10 o'clock this morning tho hoaring of tho motion of the defendants iu the Cronin case for seuarato trials was begun in branch No. 3 of tho Criminal Court. It required two bailiffs at each door to prevent tho room from becoming overcrowded. The prisoners were brought in under guard shortly before 10 o'clock and all except O'Sullivan appeared self possessed. The iceman was moody and silent.

Proceedings wero begun by Attorney Forest announcing to tlie Court that he would like to filo another alii lavit in the motion of Couglilin for a separate trial. It had reference xo tho evidence of Captain Schaack before the Coroner's jury, about the statement Woodruff made to him. Tho affidavit was filed without reading. Judgo Wing then began an argument iu Coughlin's behalf. HONEY MARKET CLOSI.VU REPORT.

Three small boys wandered wearily into Police Headquarters at Coney Island, and wanted to know the nearest way to the Ocean Parkway, so that they could walk home. Neither of them was much more than two and a half feet high, but each of them claimed to be 13 years old the unlucky thirteen.

One called himself Tommy KeUy, and said ho lived at the corner of Jay and Willonghbystreets. The other was Jimmy Duffy, who lived on Jay street, near Harpers court, and the third was Tommy Finn, of 50 Wilioughby street. Tommy Kelly was spokosman. He was tho aristocrat of the three and wore a complete suit of clothes, including shoes. The others wore happy in the possession of trousers, Bhirta and hats.

"What do you want tho parkway for asked Justice Waring. "We's want to git said Tommy nelly, "an' wo ain't got no tickets." "Did you ever have any "Yaas. We corned down by do Culver's road, but we losed our tickets an' we got ter walk back." "How did you lose your tickets "Well, yor seo," chimed in Jimmy Duffy, "wo gin 'em ter Tommy cause he had pockets to put 'em in, an'he fell overboard an' doy washed outen his pookots." "How did it happen "Wo wuz down to do iron pior and wo wuz walkin' on de iron pipes what holds do pier to boo which could go dor fnrdests and a big wavo come np and swipes Tommy off in de water. We tonght he was drownded, but dey lugged him outen do water, and when we looked for do tickets dey was gone." Suro enough, Tommy Kelly was Boaking wet and shivering with the cold. "You can't walk home to night.

We'll keep you until morning." The trio of howls that went up at this Juncture would havo furnished a theme for a Wagnerian composition. Then the little judge put his hand in his pocket and readied resuHlessly around for car faro, but his quick eye caught an Eaole reporter. "Here, young man, take these boys to the city and I'll make it all right in tho morning." The young man took them to Superintendent Schormerhorn, of the Culver road, who gave them a ride to Brooklyn and they were put safely on a Jay street car. "What did you go to Coney Island for 1" asked the reporter. "We went on a picnic," said Tommy Kelly.

"And what will you Bay whon yon get home "Nothin'," was the laconic response, iu chorus. PAYEES POUND The More or Less Devoted Head of Inspector Hickey. A Delegation from Union Visits City Works Commissioner Adams and Presents Its Grievances The Ofilcial Will Investigate," Pavers' Union No. has a quarrel on its hands with Inspector of Granite Pavements Hiekoy. It is alleged that Mr.

Hickey is discriminating against members of tho union and in one instance at least caused a contractor to discbargo union men in his employ. The matter was brought to tlie attention of City Works Commissioner Adams this morning by Messrs. O'Reilly and Thompson, of tho Long Island Protective Association, and Met.sra. Ilandloy and Shields, of Pavers' Union No. 1.

Mr. Shields w.ib introduced to the City Works Commissioner by Mr. Keilly and said: "1 have been working for Thomas Monahan and havo had chargo of the pavers. Wo have iin organization here, and I thought I could satisfy Mr. Hickey as well as Mr.

Mouahan or anybody else in regard to workmanship. I culled out the best men we had in the organization, but found we could not do anything to satisfy Jlr. Hickey under any circumstances. He went to the boss and told him wo were only common stone pavers. Aftei that ho told Mr.

Mouahan we were only doing a corporation day's work. Tho next day bo came along wo wero in pretty good shape. Ho had not said anything to us, but went direct to Monahan and told him to lay us off." What is your organization asked Commissioner Adams. Our organization is Pavers' Union No. 1," replied Mr.

Shields, the oldest one in tho city. We have been following the business for twenty years. Tho gentlemen I havo got for the job were good, sober, steady men. We satisfied Mr. Monahan, but could not do anything to satisfy Mr.

Hickey, while we could see that outside our union there are men employed as pavers who have only been rammers or common stone throwers. It seems that anybody belonging to our union must step aside." Does vour union include cobble stone as well as granite laj ers asked the Commissioner. Yes, sir," replied Mr. Shields, "our union includes cobble stone as well as granite. They aro all skilled men." "1 will look into tlie matter," said tho Commissioner.

"If you will, that will please us," answered Mr. Shields. "Mickey told us wo did not have a Eaver. Wc have two men who havo been paving lock stone for twenty years. I have been born and raised in this city, and I think it is prctty hard that 1 should be idle." "I can't control the contractors," said the Commissioner, "but if there is any injustice being done I will investigate it." "It is only Hickey that we find fault with," said Mr.

Shields. "I can get along with the contractor. But I can't work if this inspector says the men must get off." Mr. O'lteilly added his ideas to tlie discussion bv saving: "It seems that Jlr. Hickey has been gbing'out of his way to pound Pavers Union No.

1, of Brooklyn. We thought it was only right we should take the matter np. Respecting the workmanship of these men, I think they are good will investigate the matter thoroughly," said the Commissione1 "I don't understand why Mr. Hiekov should have any objection to Pavers' Union No. 1, any more than any other union, for he is perfectly aware that I he department is favorable to labor unions." The gentlemen then expressing their gratification that tlu had the sympathy of the City Works Department.

Mr, Hickey will in all probability be called on to make an explanation. His position as an inspector is an important one. because a contractor would find much difficulty in getting paid for his work if Mr. Hickey should say it was imperfectly done. 3 LABOR DAY PARADE.

August Schmidt Found in a I'ool of His Own Blood. Word was sent to tho Seventeenth Precinct Police Station this morning that August Schmidt was lying dead in his room at tho corner of Liberty and New Jersey avenues. Detootive McNeany was sent to investigate, and, accompanied by an Eagle reporter, visited the house. The dead man was found lying on the lloor iu a little back room. Tho floor about him was covered with blood and the walls were spattered.

No marks of violence could be found on the body, and tho accepted theory was that death was due to a hemorrhage, to which deceased was subject. It was learned that Schmidt retired at his usual hour last evening. This morning whon Mrs. Pfaelger, bin boarding mistress, went to call him for breakfast she found him lying on the floor dead. Deceased was 53 years old aud a widower.

Coroner Lindsay was notified. CHAUGED WITH LABCEXY.

Mayor Chapin Regarded as Stronsr, bnt Not Invincible Colonel Baird's Avail abilitr No Walkover for Either Side. Major Hobbs Resignation Inspector ilerg en Reinstated. Major Edward H. Hobbs visited local Republican headquarters this morning. He called to file officially his resignation from the Executive Committee.

Hia retirement has been tho subject of much comment. Various interpretations have beon placed upon it. In conversation with au Eagle reporter ho talked freoly of his with drawal. "There is nothing," ho said, "in my action which ought to be misunderstood. I withdraw for personal and business reasons.

Next Saturday I leave Brooklyn for an extended visit to Arizona. I am called there by professional duty as counsel fora company engaged in largo irrigation enterprises. It is probable that my absence will extend to tho middlo of October. Would it not be manifestly improper for me to retain, whilo I am away, my placo on tho Executive Committee? That would be to deny the people of tlie Twenty fourth Ward representation in the representative body of tho party during tho most important weeks, politically, of the entire year. With a complete understanding of what is duo to the organization and to my section, I have committed my trust to other hands.

Mr. Ruggles, who has been commissioned to succeed me. is in every way equal to the performance of the duties intrusted to him." "What is your opinion of tho prospect boforo the Republicans iu tho pending campaign?" asked the reporter. "Without setting up as a prophet," was tho ro ply, "I will give my views for what thoy aro worth. It is yet early to discuss the outlook in tlie State.

Wo are assured of a short and vigorous canvass on tho general ticket and a sharp struggle for legislative supremacy. That tho Republicans will retain the control of the Legislature I have no doubt. the Senate districts particularly the advantage1 is on our side. In local matters wo havo not yet reached the point of confident prediction. Here, of course, the mayoralty is the all absorbing topic.

One thing relativo to that iB cortain. Mayor Chapin will be renominated. There is some opposition to him among tho Democratic rank and file. It won't Count for much with the delegates in city con vention. His renomiuation conforms to tho logic of tho situation.

Tho managerial policy of the Democratic party has all been directed to that end. You might as well undcrtako to play 'Adonis' without Dixoy, or 'Hamlet' with the melancholy Dane eliminated, as to run the Demo cratic campaign in Brooklyn this year without considering Mayor Chapin and his administration. For one, I am opposed to tho Mayor's re election. Yet it would be foolish to unccrostimato his strength. What our Republican friends ought to consider is not that thoy are about to outer on a holiday parade, but that they have before thom a period of tho hardost kind of fight iug.

No general who ever sot a squadron in the field would think of deliberately undertios mating tho forces of his adversary. The Itepub licans of Brooklyn havo among them enough old soldiers to prevent them from making the mis take which every skillful commander avoids. The Mayor is a bright, shrewd and audacious politician. Ho plays the game of partisanship for all that it is worth. This time he is playing for high stakes.

Whero ho will land, if re elected Mayor of Brooklyn, the moat extravagant imagination can hardly conceive. A dozen avenues of preferment will in consequence be opened before, him. So, wo see, ho is moving with an oye not only to the present but the future. You can depend on it that he is lying awako o' nights planning and plotting to socuro a verdict of approval on election day." Will tho Democratic machine stand by him "Of course. What else can the regular Democrats do? They have littlo to complain of and much to be thankful for at his hands.

For tho right sort of a Republican a great many hide pendent Democrats octsido of machine lines' will probably vote. But the dyed in the wool, rook ribbed and copper fastened fellows are for tho regular ticket every timo. Do I think that he will, command much Republican support? That depends on circumstances. A feeble or colorless nominee, sustained by a languid canvass, would give Chapin an opportunity. But if we rise to tho level of our responsibilities in the presentation of our candidate, I am persuaded that tho llepubli can party will poll its united vote for its standard bearer.

Other things being equal, no true Republican should vote for Chapin. Why should he The Mayor is confessedly an extreme partisan. From his aggressive support of Governor Hill last Fail to his last utteraneo on questions at issue between the parties ho has maintained his reputation as a party man. The Republican party in Brooklyn is the party of municipal reform. To it tho city owes our presont excellent charter and from it tho people, whenever it has been intrusted with power, have derived economical, efficient and dignified administration.

When over the voters aro prepared to renew their allegiance tlie party will bo found equal to tho emergency. This they will do as soon as they becorao weary of the one man power, of the intrusion of gang influenced into our politics ana of conditions generally which do not operate either for the well being of tho municipality or the security of its citizens." "Do you favor any particular csndidato for Mayor on the Republican side 7" "Personally I have no choice. Politically I am for the strongest man. The names of sevoral gentlemen eminently qualified to lead tlie chargo and fill the oflieo havo been discussed. Those names are familiar to tlie pnblic Opinions differ as to tho availibility of individuals and each voter is entitled to think ns he pleases without necessarily incurring criticism from bis fellow Republicans.

Speaking of myself, and without attempting to reflect the opinions of others, I confess that I have seen no one better equipped with running qualities than Colonel Andrew Baird. Since his defeat, two years ago, Colonel Baird has, in my judgment, grown in the esteem of his fellow citizens. Ho is strong where wo need strength, namely, in the Eastern District. While not gifted with showy qualities, lie commands respect as a plain man of the people, familiar with their needs, mindful of their general condition and thoroughly sympathetic with their aspirations. His hold on the workingmon of whom, notwith standing his prosperity, he has always been one, is something remarkable.

Inquire among Democrats, and you will find that be is certain to Rccure many Democratic votes if he again comes before tho people. This is recognized by tho shrewder Democratic managers. They percoivo his elements of strength with keen apprehension. Nothing, I imagine, would disappoint them so much as to find themselves again confronted by his rugged and aggressive figure. Whether Colonel Baird would accept a re nomination no one is at present prepared to say.

Certainly he cannot be regarded as an oflieo seeker. If delegations aro to bo 'put up' and conventions 'influenced' he will have to bo counted out. It does not seem probable, nevertheless, that if a united and earnest demand should bo mado on him to take up the flag from where ho last laid it down that he would refuse to give tho weight of his name to tho ticket. Iu the event of his declination we should endeavor to find a gentleman equally available. A full aud true discussion of candidates will do no harm but, on the contrary, must inuro to tho general benefit of the party and the promotion of good politics in tho city.

"What of the county ticket 7" That, no doubt, will take caro of itself in due season. For tho benefit of any of our brethren who feel weak kneed it is well enough to recall tlie fact that in County contests wo have usually succeeded when wo least expected to win. It is only necessary to recall tiio election of Colonel Sehurig over Mr. Hugh McLaughlin for Register, of Colonel Richards over Colonel Carroll for the samo office, and of Captain Kaiser only a few months ago to the County Clerkship, in order to prove what 1 Bay. Why, when poor Frank Biggs ran for County Auditor ho had no more idea of being elected than of flying to the moon.

Wo mado up a little purse for his campaign expenses of not moro than S3 00. Ho got out a lew bills, called around on his friends and went homo election night convinced that he had received a thorough drubbing. When he came down town tho next morning and'found that he relegated the late Morris Fitzgerald to the political graveyard his eyes bulged out liko billiard balls and he was tho most astonished man on Long Island. Who can say at this early stage that we are not in a position to knock out Jlr. Ridgway, choose a County Auditor, put our men into the Coroner's office and Bweep the deck from ond to end.

With all our squabbles over the patronage allowed for, the Republicans of Kings County aro on their feet and they will mako music for their adversaries by the timo the returns are in on election night." This is Major Hobbs' letter as filed with Secretary Burrows Brooklyn, Augnst 27, 1839. Ctnveiicfl A.

Something comfortable came to tho Republioan organization this morning from tho New York Custom Houso. It wasn't much, but it cheered tho Montague streot victims of misplaced confidence.

Several years ago Surveyor Hans S. Beattio dismissed Major Adrian V. Bergen, of tho Fourth Ward, from his position as day inspootor. Major Borgon was a holdover Republican and his fault was occasioned by obeying the order of Deputy Survoj'or Joseph Qvorfiold, Democrat. Ovcrfield was also dismissed and became Colleoto Black's deputy in tho Brooklyn Internal Iiovenuo Office.

President Cleveland did not approve of Major Borgon's removrd. and ho secured without difficulty a place in the Pay Officoat Washington. Senator Spooner's committee investigated tho matter and hold that his discharge was wrong. Now tho news comes that ho is at last reinstated by Collector Erhardt. This is the small cause of looal joy.

Somehow the fel RAISING THE SALARIES. Warden Hares Gets an Increase of 8800 Per Year. The regular weekly meeting of the CharitieB Commissioners was held thiB morning. President Bay and Treasurer Hynes wero present. Secretary.

Toal began the proceedings by reading a communication from Dr. Frank H. Ingram applying for the position at the Flatbnsh Asylum made vacant by the resignation of Dr. Shanks. Chief Engineer John Shaw sent in a written request for an extra fireman at St.

Johnland. Mr. Shaw also asked for a leave of absence for two weeks, one of which he proposes to spend at St. Johnland. Commissioner Hynes said that he had never heard of such a request; it was not asking for a vacation in the regular way and therefore before granting the favor he thought it best to see Mr.

Shaw in person and learn of his anxiety to visit St. Johnland. Tho matter was laid over. William Donnelly sent in a request that he be appointed permanent Bteward at St. Johnland.

Tho paper was ordered to bo placed on file Warden Hayes stated that he sent a bill to the Stato Treasurer for $14,191.60, for feeding criminal tramps in the Penitentiary for ono year. The Legislature appropriated $30,000 to ho divided among tho six penitentiaries in the State, and ho received only $11,800.71 for thesharo of the Kings Conuty Penitentiary. He had a cheok for that amount which would be turnod into tho County Treasury. Dr. Arnold, of the Conuty Hospital, handed in a paper, recommending an increase of pay to the old emploj es of the county institutions who havo proved themselves efficient.

It was ordered to bo placed on lilo. President Bay moved that tho salary of James Hughes, Deputy Warden of the Penitentiary, be increased from $1,200 to $1,500 a year, commencing September 1. Mr. Hynes said that lie recognized the fact that tlie pay of the Warden of the Penitentiary was not enough for the labor ho performed and tho danger he rau, and ho therefore moved that the salary of Warden Hayes be raised to tho sum of $3,500 a year. Both propositions wero carried.

Commissioner Hynes said that the keeper of tho Morgue, Patrick Maguire, had been connected with that institution for twenty years and he moved that his salary be raised from $1,200 to $1,500 a year. The motiou was carried. President Bay moved that David Bay bo appointed a tinsmith at the Penitentiary at a salary of $2.85 per day until tlie roof was finished. Mr. Bay said that his namesake was npt a relative of Liu, nor did ho know the gentleman.

Tho article iu yesterday's E.vor.s touching tho treatment of the "stay at home members of tho Thirteenth Begiment on Saturday evening, on the occasion of the ceremonies of welcome to their comrades returning fi om their Western trip, was the topic of very emphatic comment in and about the Hanson place armory last night.

The men were gathered in groups in the company rooms insi 1o and upon tho sidewalks neartho headquarters, holding indignation meetings, and the burden of their utterances was that the man who wrote tlie letter published in yesterday's E.uile deserved a punishment little less severe tlnin exile or hanging for his attempt to mar tlie record of the most successful jaunt the regiment bud ever had. A member of Company said: "The man that wrote that letter in tlie Eaoi.e is an ass. Nobody with any common sense could expect Colonel Austen and his officers to leave the armory open during their absence for iuv.isiun by everybody. Tho colonel is under heavy bonds for tlie safe preservation of the State property and the captains are under bonds to him. As tlie matter stood there was nobody around who could distinguish between members of the regiment and outsiders, beeauso the engineer, Jlr.

Bee 1, who was left in charge of tlie building, sees little of the members and almost all the officers and non commissioned officers who presumably havo a considerable ac acquaintaiicc with them wore away on tho trip. Even with all these and the regular Janitor and armorer about, property is constantly missed. As far as the colonel's stand on the helmet question is concerned, I think he is perfectly right in saying that a man who cannot or will not pay for his helmet when that is the on'y part of his uniform he is obliged to buy, is bettor out of the regiment than it. I must say 1 think the colonel's remarlcH, drawing a comparison between such men and members of the Seventh and Twenty Hard regiments, when lie said they wero as a cheap 5 cent cigar is to a fragrant 25 cent Havana, were not only impolitic, but in bad tasto and I know that many of the men felt very sore over them, lint he was certainly right on the main question." Nobody seems able to explain just how it happened that the escort of stay at homes" was excluded from the armory Saturday night when the regiment marched in. Quartermaster Werner said this morning it was absurd to suppose that this was the result of any directions from Colonel Austen, for ho was not the kind of man to accept an escort and then shut them out of his headquarters.

It was surely the result of a mistake or blunder on the part of the policemen stationed at the door. Engineer Iteed, who saw this episode, said he did not understand how the column of the escort happened to have the door closed in their faces. He saw many outsiders crowd themselves into the ranks and probably the police, observing this and not knowing just what their duty was, decided to keep the whole crowd out. DUTIES US SEWED HOODS. AcGuir Secretary JJiticiiellcr'n Circular to CoUjcdr of Customs.

Wahhinctdx, I). Augusl 2S. Acting Secretary Batehelier liasscntthe following circular to Collectors of Customs: Tho attention of the department lias been called to the frequent erroneous c)as. in made by collectors in tlieir releases of seizures under department's circular January 20, 1S87. It appears that many articles are imported through the mails, the classification of which is not well or lias not been tho subjectof consideration by the department andcollectors have released such upon payment of a fine equal to tho duty appearing to them to be proper without inquiry as to tho classification of such articles made at other ports.

An example i seen in the recent caso of a collector who released upon payment of duty at tho rate of 25 per cent, ad valorem as jewelry, a pair of eyeglasses, eyeglasses being properly dutiablo at tho rate of 45 per cent, ad valorem, either under paragraph 14:5 as manufactures of glass, or 210 as manufactures of metal. The formal approval by the department of tho action of collectors in releasing seized articles under Section 8,014 is merely intended to legalizo such releases (which under the statutes can only be made by the Secretary of tho Treasury) and is not meant as ratification or indorsement of the valuation or classifications as briefly reported by collectors in their weekly summary of releases. Collectors are therefore admonished not to mako releases under Section 014 until satisfied that the amounts received represent tho full legal duties under tho tariff.

THAT ONE BLOW Which GaveDempsey's Friends a Surprise Party. Brooklyn Sports Hold Tarlons Opinions ol the Canse of tho Ifonpareil's Defeat A Check to His Triumphant Career.

Brookljn sporting men are dismayed at the result of laBt night's battle between the Non pariel and the Marine and are sadly disappointed at the unequivocal defeat of the man who had fought fifty battles without a disaster. So deep iB the disappointment that fuU credit cannot be given La Blanche for the plucky stand up fight he made during tho honr and thirty six minnteB in which ho submitted to the skillful and severe punishment inflicted by Dempsey. At the semi sporting resorts around the City Hall thero wero few of the weU known members of the sporting fraternity, for they were at Westchester trying to Bquare losses on Dempsey by playing straight tips. Tho general opinion is that Dempsey let himself go to waste before tho fight aud La Blanche, for good reasons, resisted temptation long enough ahead to make his more severe training of use to him. Warren Lowis.who hasbadoxperienec with both Dempsey and La Blanche, held to this opinion.

He brought Dempsey out in the first place and had La Blanche with him aU last Summer. He does not like La Blanche personally, but is willing to give him credit for boing able to stand as much punishment as any man who goes in the ring. "That," said he, "constitutes his strength. He has heretofore worn himself out before ho was beaten. He whipped himself by overworking.

This time he didn't. Besides Dempsey didn't use his usual generalship according to the reports. I questiou, too, the several decisions made during tlie fight, for I believe there wero fouls by La Blanche." At Charley Johnston's there wero but few looking at Fox's dog collar and the gold bolt presented by "the citizens of the United States" through inverted tumblers. They had little to say and they Baid it sadly. Ono of them remarked, oracularly: "Dompsey didn't measure his man up right.

He had licked him beforo and was sure ho conl again, but ho was stalo tho second timo. If Sullivan had boon left to hiniBelf he'd havo done the same thing. The knowing ones wero posted on this and they didn't loso much on Jack. Ho ought to havo been satisfied with what he had done without trying to whip a man ten pounds heavier and bigger ovory way than he was, It is all very well to talk about chance, thero was chance in it. Dempsoy was licked whon ho Btenped in tho ring.

Tlie batter man won," At Dempsey's saloon on Front street, Now York, the bartender said: "I cannot for the life of mo understand, unless something was tlie matter with Dempsey, how the Marine could do him. Wo all know that Lo Blanche iB a good man for a short fight, but no lastcr, and I suppose that Jack whipped him ao easily before tnat be did not take proper care of his training. Anyhow, Jack is not near as good as he was. He is getting stale. But I can't say anything till I hear from tho Nonpareil later on." The general topic of conversation in the Eastern District to day is the light.

The sports wero very much surprised, as a different rosult was expected. Bob Drftw, McAnliffo's friend, expressed his belief that Dempsey is the better man of the two, and attributed his defeat to a chance blow. "He evidently," Bob continued, "did not get fair play. The athletic club people were deter mined that ho should not win. I don't believe La Blanche will ever face Dempsey in tho ring "Jack can whip La Bl every time," exclaimed Tommy Dompsey, tho pugilist's brother.

The blow was a chance one. La Blanche would be afraid to face Jack to morrow. A team and four could not drag him into tho ring to faco Jack again." A dozon other non expressed similar opinions. One sport, who for many years had been a friend of Dempsey, but now bo classed in that category, now said that La Blanche was the bettor man of the two and should havo whipped Dempsey in the lirst fight. HE LOOKED SUSPICIOUS.

A Who Was Arrested at Catharine Ferry Last Krcniugr. Detectives llocho and Ryan, of tho Central Oflieo squad, made a good arrest last evening. While they were Blanding at Catliarino Ferry they saw a seeilily dressed man coming toward them.

In his pocket was found a gold watch, lady's gold chain and locket, a pair of gold bracelets, a gold pin and a meerschaum cigar holder in a case. When questioned aB to how he came by the property ho said that a stranger had given it to him to take to New York.

He was taken to tlie First Precinct Station, whero he gave the name of Edward Dalton, .12 years of age, and his residence as 124 Hudson avenue. He was locked up, and some timo afterward Jlr.

Hannah Donnelly, a middlo aged woman about as broad as she is long, appeared in thtL Butler Street Police Court this morning and charged her husband Philip with not having given her any support for nearly two years. Fhilip had a very red nose and watery eyes and his actions indicated that lie had taken a bracer or two beforo going to court. "Where do you reside now?" asked Justico Tigho. "Various places in tho city, judge, your Honor.

The last place was in tho basement of tho liquor store at 174 Hamilton avenue. I went to sleop in a chair and I was allowed to stay all night." "What have you to say about this charge of not supporting your wife "It is a shame for her to make mo como hero, when sho knows I don't mako enough to support myself." "How much do you make?" "From 25 cents up to $1 a day fixing clockB." "Why I thought you wero a bartender," said tho Court. "Ah," and Donnelly smacked his lips as an imaginary drink passed down his throat, "that was the happiest timo of my life," and then in a saddened tone, "that was long ago, Judgo." Donnelly said that during the timo of the blizzard he gave his wife $0.50, and that as soon as ho handed her tho money she called her two sons and they fired him out in the street and would not let him come back. He was placed under $200 bonds to pay his wife $2 a week. HE CRIED BITTERLY TO DAY, When Accused oJ Swindling by Means of Worthier CZincIcH.

Lowis Henry Dobson, banker and broker, who was arrested last Monday in New York by Detective Sergeants Lyman and MeMauus, whilo witnessing the base ball game at tho Polo Grounds, was arraigned before Justico O'Reilly in tho Tombs Police Court to day. Dobson is charged with passing worthless checks. On tho 4th inst. ho presented a check on Ashwell of 30 Broad street, to William Mulhall, cashier of tho Hoffman Cafe, on Beaver street. The amount was $15 and Mulhall cashed it.

Subsequently it was discovered that the check was worthless and Inspector Byrnes was notified. Tho prisoner cried bitterly in court to day. Ho said ho was 42 years old, a speculator, and lived at 394 Gates avenuo, Brooklyn, Ho pleaded not guilty and demanded a trial by a jury. Mulhall was tho only complainant that appeared, but thero will probably bo moro charges against tho accused before ho is brought to trial. Justico O'Reilly held Dobson in $300 bail for trial.

OCEAN RECOKDS The City of Paris Beats Them All, Including Her Own. Prom Qneenstown to This Port in Fivo Days, Nineteen Honrs and Eighteen Minutes Tho Delimited Passengers' Hold a Mcoiinpf on Shipboard and Adopt Resolutions of Congratulation With Rinjrinsr Cheers. The Bteamship City of Paris, which arrived this morning, has broken the record again, beating her own best time from Queenstown by 3 hours and 49 minutes. Hor actual time (reckoning by Greenwich time) from Qiieenstown to Bandy Hook Light ship was 5 days, 10 hours and 18 minutes. She left Queenstovvn at 3:09 (Greenwich time) Dn Friday.

There was a frosh breeze, but the weather was cloudy. Her run for the first day was 433 milos. On Saturday there was a fresh breeze with a head swell and 403 miles were covered. The breeze was moderate on Sunday with light winds and 502 miles were covered. The same kind of weather was encountered on Monday, but tho steamer increased her speed to 500 miles fir the twenty fours.

On Tuesday tho breezo freshened and at tho end of the twenty fours. 2:00 Y. yesterday, the steamer was 500 milos nearer this port. The run from M. (Greenwich time) yesterday afternoon to 0 A.

SI. to day (same time) to Sandy Hook Lightship was 340 miles. Tho total distance traveled was 2,788 miles. The smashing of ocean records by the City of Paris has again drawn attention to the steady gain in time that has been niado in crossing tho Atlantic. It was only a few yearn ago when six days and a half and seven days were considered good time between this port and Qiieenstown, and seven and a half and eight days Quick time between Now York and Southampton.

The record for tho former has now been reduced to about five days and throe quartern and for the latter to a little over six days and three quarters. The difference in distanco from New York to QueeiiBtown and from New York to Southampton is about 330 miles. Tho ocean steamers which have attracted moHt attention of late have been the Columbia, of the Hamburg American Packet Company; tho City of New York and the City of Taris, of the Inman Line. Within recent years tho two Cunarders, the Umbria and tho Etroria, have made fast voyages, but since tho City of Paris made her famous eastward trip in five days and twenty throe hours some time ago thoy have almost dropped out of sight as ocean grayhounds, which they contiuuo to bo all tho same, however. Tho Umbria sailed from Queenstown to New York in 1SS7 in 0 days, 4 honra and 42 minutes.

This was the fastest passage for a long time, 'the Umbria's fastest record of 400 pilots in hours in the same year has been beaten repeatedly by the City of Paris. The Etruria made the trip from New York to Queenstown in 0 days and 5 hours. The Alaska, of tho Guion line, did it in 0 days and 1SV hours. The Alaska came from Queenstown in days and lilj fj hours. From Southampton to New York was covered by the Travo, of tho North German Lloyd line, in 7 days, 13 hours and 35 minutes; but the Columbia, of tho Hamburg American Packet Company, made the same distanco to this port in 0 days and 1Yi hours.

Tho hitter's rocord is still the fastest for tho distance named. That trip was made last month, tho vessel arriving hero July 20. Tho Columbia made tho voyage from the Needlos to Sandy Hook 3,100 miles in 0 days, 21 hours and 37 minutes. That is the best time ever made by an ocean steamer over that course.

Previous to the Columbia's maiden and and fastest trip, tlie Lalm, of tho North Gorman Lloyd line, had the fastest record from Southampton, viz.

7 days, 1 0 hours and 4 7 minutes. The City of New York, of the Inman line, was built with the intention of heating the record of her sister ship, the City of Paris, which, up to to day, was as stated. 5 days and 23 hours. Tho City of New York left hero for Queenstown last Wednesday, and arrived tlie re a little after midnight this morning, making tho passage in (i days and 3 hours. The Teutonic of the White Star Hue, which wassupposed to have raced with her had not then arrived, nor was she in sight.

The City of New York left hero on Wednesday afternoon of last week, crossing tho bar at 3:31 P.M. She was sighted off Brow Head, Ireland, at 8:30 o'clock Inst night. It is common in estimating passages ea. tward to allow two hours and forty five minutes time between Brow Head and and four hours and thirty live minutes' dilfcrenee of time between Now York and Queenstown.

Christenson does not know of any cause. The young man came to thiB country year aeo.

August 28. Nurse Donnelly, who was stabbed by Mrs. Hamilton Monday, is improving and if she continues to do so tlie prospects are that Mrs. Hamilton will be released on bail. ia.

us The crtraordinary revelations of the affairs of Assemblyman Hubert Bay Hamilton oxcite deep interest in Brooklyn, where much of his large properly is located and where he is very well known. Through his relations to local legislation at Albany Mr. Hamilton's eight years in legislative lifo have been spoilt in the interest of reform movements and good legislation. He. has always had associated with him tho dozen or or so of men who roso above tho ordinary level and became conspicuous for his attitude toward corruption.

Theodore Itoosevelt and Ernest H. Crosby were ins intimates. Ttio Crosby Hamilton combination has for several years been a shining example of excellence in law making. During the last two years of Mr. Hamilton's life at Albany he resided in company with Senator Eugene F.

O'Connor. Senator Ives and Senator Frank B. Arnold keeping house the first year at 215 Sta to street, and the second in the old John O. Saxo mansion, 2(JH, a few blocks further up on the street. Ho was the most dignified and reserved member of the household.

Tho amazement excited by tho Atlantic City affair is" only heightened by a knowledge of his lire at tho State Capital. He was in tine trim, too, for political promotion.

Cunn iiifilsain Escapea 'rom tlie Rock away Lock Up, tnit i Recaptured. George Cunningham, who gave his address as 1,800 Fulton street, and said he was a fireman connected with Engine Company No. 27, of tho Brooklyn Fire Department, was arrested by Officer Grady, of the Kockaway Beach police, yesterday, while under tho influence of liquor. Cunningham had gone to tho beach for a day of recreation, but tho tanglefoot ho camo in contact with was too much for him. Ho was acting in a boisterous manner on Sea Side avenue when taken into custody.

Tho officer soon had him in one of the box cells of the station lioiidc, but ho did not remain there loug. Suddenly a crash startled the sergeant, and when he went to whero Cunningham had been placed for safe keeping only a few minutes before ho found his prisoner had gone. The cell door, which is of wooden slats, was broken down. An alarm was sent out, and in a short time the escaped prisoner was found crouched in oue corner of the depot anxiously waiting for a train to carry him to tho city, out of the clutches of the Queens County authorities. Cunningham was handcuffed and again looked up, a strict watch being kept upon him.

The American Bar Association began its First annual session on this side of the Alleghenies at 10 o'clock this morning, in this city, with a large attendance. The meeting was called to order by the venerable jurist and legislator, tho Hon.

After tho formal introductory address, Presidents Callahan, of the Illinois State Bar Association, and Francis Lacktier, of the Chicago Bar Association, made short addresses, to which David Dudley Field, president of the American Bar Association, responded. Ho alluded to the assistance rendered by Messrs. H. P.

This morning tho quostion as to whether "Cap shall he played first in Brooklyn at Colon1 Vark Theater or at the Grand Opera ipuse camo before Jndiie Bartlett tho Snneial of tho Supreme Court, on tho mo KSSp'r by to restrain the pon of the play wu the original cast at tftf Sinn was represented PhnH J' 1 VUH1U1 ijll III luuuacn Judge Troy, who is out ris ami Mr. Bantu, the ageTlTrrkj.1' Pulm0ri wero represented by Mr. Hucn T. Colonel Sinn bases his el.iim U' Auction of tho piece on a svn 'no Play i u.u,..,, B1UIU 1 f. ivua iu uu uuuuueu tile i al l.

ineai 30th of September. Kuowlos A. Morris a coutract made later iu the yoar which calls the production of the same play at tho Opera Houso on the 2d of September. Colonol Sinn's contract says that the "Captain Swift" play shall not bo produced in Brooklyn at any othor theater than tho Park pending the fulfillment of his contract. This would seem to bo a in favor of Colonel Sinn, but the other people seek to dodge the issuo by claiming that Colonel Sinn'B contract calls simply for the traveling company of the Madison Squaro Theater, whilo thoir contract calls for the homo company, including Agnes Booth, Frederick Ilobinson, Lawrence llarryinoro, and the original scenery and costumes.

In answer to this Colonel Sinn points to tho I clauses of his contract, one of which says: 1 "Oriffitial Madison Squaro Theater Company" and in anothor place "Madison Squaro Theater Company. Original cast," and wants to know what those words moan? Colonel contract agrees to pay CO and 05 por cent, of tho gross re ceipts. Knowles Morris' contract says 70 per cent. To tho lay mind it looked as if tho extra 5 per cent, was tho real foundation of tho effort on the part of the Madison Square pooplo to go to the Grand Opera House first. Mr, Patterson 'b motion was basod upon Colonol Sinn's affidavit, in which were set forth tho con tract and tho subsequent efforts in Juno last on the part of Mr.

Banta, who manages tho out of town business for tho Madison Square Theater, to induce Colonel Sinn to cancel the contract and substitute "Jim tho for "Capiaiu Swift for tho week beginning September 30. Cblonol Sinn was willing to agree to that provided "Captain Swiff did not appear at tho Grand Opera House on Sept ember 2. Tho colonel's affidavit also pointed out that when a play has proved a marked success in Now York, as "Captain Swift" has proved, its first production in Brooklyn would be very successful, but tho Becoml production would not result nearly so profitably. Ho pointed out, thorefore, tho loss which would result to him if the play was first produced at another theater. Mr.

Patterson outlined the case aud preseutod the contract, which was attached to tho complaint. Tho important clauses sot forth that in consideration of the moneys to be paid William 12. Sinn agrees to play tho Original Madison Square Tlieator Company iu 'Captain Swift' for six nights and two matinees, commencing September 30 aud ending October 5." Also that in consideration of the faithful perform, aneo of tho abovo, tho said A. M. Palmer agrees to furnish the services of the Madison Squaro Theater Company, original cast, in 'Captain Swift.

Mr. Patterson pointed out that it would be almost an impossibility to measuro tho damages which would result from the violation of Colonel Sinn's contract and therefore it. would bo a manifest injustice to relegate hi to his remody at law. lie also called attention to tho fact that under a recent decision of the Court of Appoals a man could provide against competition in his business by contract. In reply Mr.

Uirsh submitted the affidavits of David M. Banta, who contradicted Colonel Sinn, and of Knowles Morris iu reference to the contract which they had made. This contract was substantially tho same as that made by Colonel Sinn except that it spoke of the "homo company" and named the leading performer iu tho original cast. Mr. Uirsh claimed that Colouol Sinn's contract was only for the traveling com pany, that being tho only ono which Mr.

Banta had the right to contract for; that Knowles it Morris' contract, mado with Mr. Palmer, was for the regular Madison Squaro Tlieator Company, tho homo company, as ho called it, and which was controlled by Mr. Palmer alone. That gentleman was in Europe and could not be reached in time. Judge Bartlett called attention to the words "original company" and "original cast" in Colonel Sinn's coutract and asked what thoy meant if they did not mean the home company.

Mr. Uirsh tried to get around the point by talk iug about "best butter'' and the "very best butter," and then began to talk about tho damage to his clients if they were not allowed to prodllco the play. Mr. Patterson read a letter writton by Mr. Banta last Juno to Colonel Sinn, iu which ho said he wanted to stand by the Park Theater, as ho believed the receipts would be 100 per cent, better at the Park Theater than at the Grand Opora House.

Judge Bartlett spoke again about tho use of tho word "original" in tho Pari; Theater contract, and alter somo further discussion the casu was adjourned until to morrow, when testimony will be lalieu on several disputed points iu tho affidavits.

fcluco I prfjm, I mjL ftetJ 4 A Builder Taken From His Pedestal by Judge Petterson. Mr. Hill's Foreman Defied a Streot In. spector to Enforce a City Ordinance and His Employer Was Fined $25. It was made very clear this morning to Stephen F.

Hill, contractor and builder, that he has no political pull in Justice Pettersou's Court, nor in the Corporation Counsel's office. Mr. Hill is building a big flat at 71 Piueapple street. Ho has nearly completed another in Hicks street, between Henry and Pineapple. For several weeks the sidewalks and streot in front of these buildings and adjoining property have been en cumborcd with bricks, mortar, sand and lumber in violation of a city ordinance.

On July 27, one month ago, Street Inspector William Reid, an efficient and courteous official, called at 71 Pineapple street and asked to seo Builder Hill. The latte.r'B foreman was pointed out as Mr. Hill. To him Mr. Ileid, according to his sworn testimony, said "Mr.

Hill, will you bo kind enough to clean up the street and gutter in front of your buildings You are violating a city ordinance." The inspector in continuing his testimony said, "Tho man I supposed to be Mr. Hill was his foreman. Said he. 'You had bettor wait until a complaint is I told him I was the one to make a complaint that it was my duty, and if ho did not clean up I would put the case in tho hands of the Corporation Counsel. Then ho said to mo, 'Well, if you've got $25 or $50 to spare you spend it trying to mako mo clean I reportod tlie ease to the Corporation Counsel's office.

Since then I have repeatedly called tho foreman's attention to the condition of tho street and sidewalk in front of his buildings. Up to yesterday they were BtUl incumbered." Corporation Counsel Jenks' attention having been called to this flagrant dofiauco of law he directed his representative, Mr. Donald Ayres, to press tho case against Hill with vigor. Shortly before noon to day Superintendent of Streets Sterling and several of his inspectors who havo made complaints against builders visited Justice Pettersou's Court. Superintendent Sterling said to Mr.

Ayres that if complaints against contractors wero dealt with promptly such action would have a good effect in preventing violations of city, ordinances. Mr. Ayro3 was of the same opinion, and, as Builder Hill was not in court, prepared an affidavit for Inspector Heid, in which tho latter swore he had repeatedly complained of the condition of the street sidewalks in front of Hill's buildings. On this affidavit Justice Petterson promptly issued an attachment for Hill. Officer Bacon took the papers and with Inspector Htid soon found Hill and brought him to court.

The builder told Mr. Ayres that he had never been notified that there was a complaint against him. "You knew that a complaint had been made concerning the condition of the street in front of your buildings, didn't you said Mr. Ayres. "Well, yes: I knew that complaints had been made to my foreman, but not to mo," responded Hill.

Justico Petterson took in the situation qniekly, and read the complaiut to the builder. The latter said he pleaded not guilty, and asked for an adjournment. Bearing in mind the fact that the case had boon hanging fire one month, the justice said: "This ease is in tho naturo of summary proceedings. Is the street "Well, perhaps it is, but we have only twenty five feet front, and haven't got much room for our material," said the builder. "I think I ought to have an adjournment.

I wasn't notified." "But your foreman was, and he is your agent," said tlie justice. "You said a few minutes ago that you knew complaints had been ma le," remarked Mr. Ayres. "Yes, but not in tho sonso you mean. I want an adjournment." Justice Petterson called Mr.

Beid to tho stand. The inspector told how ho had made repeated complaints, and how Hill's foreman had sncering ly suggested that if or $50 to spare he should spend it trying to make him clean up tlie street. Justice Petterson seemed surprised at the testimony, and when the witness was through said sternly to Hill: Ho you want to take tho stand "No. I want an adjournment. I have not got any lawyer here.

I am not guilty of the charge," was the embarrassed builder's answer. "The street is incumbered; complaints have been made," sail the justice, sharply. "You knew that complaints had been made to your foreman. I find you guilty of violating tho city ordinance as set forth iu the complaint aud tine you J25 or ten days in Jail." Jlr. Hill was a much surprised man.

The street inspectors say that tho Justice's prompt and decisive action will bo hailed with satisfaction by many householders who have suffered annoyances at tho hands of builders who have heretofore regarded the city ordinances with disdain. THE LUCA TltAGEDY. The Itctail Croccra' Association Meet and Demand Swift JiiHlicc. Now that tlie inquest in the caso of Grocer Luca is over and tho evidence against the Uireo persons who havo been found by the Coroner's jury to be guilty of his murder is in hand tho authorities intend to proceed rapidly toward the award of punishment for that most brutal and unparalleled crime. Tho testimony adduced last night was overwhelmingly against the prisoners.

It was deemed best by the officials to hold the inquest in tho Jail, as it was feared that an attempt would bo made to lynch McElvaiuc and his companions if they were taken through the streets to the Court House, whero inquests of great importance are usually held. The apprehension of the officials is generally regarded as having been well grounded, as public feeling has run high indignation, and the memories of the dreadful tragedy in Lyman S. Week's houso are not yet forgotten, nor is it also forgotten that that crime is yet unavenged. The scenes in and around Kayniond Street Jail last evening, furnished abundant evidences of the strained condition of popular feeling. A semi monthly meeting of the Brooklyn lietail Grocers' Association was held last evening at Arcanum nail, Bridgo street, near Fulton.

Addresses eulogizing Luca were inr.do by President J. O. Grimm, cx presi dent A. Mettler and others. A resolution was adopted sympathizing with Mrs.

Luca, denouncing the killing of her husband, demanding swift Justice for the murderers, and thanking tho press ami police for their work. PALL BEAREH3 APPOINTED And Ke8IuCioim Adopted by Isaac iTIcItane'K Comrades.
