A Diiazrccmcut on a Henulta in Proceedina Chief Engineer Richard Cuttor, of tho tugboat Vosburgh, appeared before United States Commissioner Morle this morning to answer a charge of assault brought against him by Fireman J. Walahe, of tho samo vessel. Mr.

M. Moran, tho well known tugboat owner of South Brooklyn, appeared as his bondsman, having bailed him out laBt evening in $1,000. Tugboat business is dull, and tho moro powerful ones are gen erally chartered on Sundays by fishing parties anxious to try their skill on tho black and blue fish that ewarm at tho Fishing Banks. On Sunday last theVosburg was chartered by auch a party; bait of all description was taken along in boxes, kegs and black bottles, and the superabundance of those necessary equipments lod to a disturbance botwoen Chief Engineer Cutler and Fireman Thomas J. Walshe.

Tho former accused the latter of neglect of duty; it 18 claimed that WalBhe retaliated by attaoking tho ougineor with a shovel. Cutler promptly smashed Walshe over the head with a wrenoh, inflicting threo seriouB wounds on tho fireman's head. Walsho went before Uuitod States Commissioner Morlo and had a warrant issued for Cutler's arrest, but tho latter had gone to Boston with tho tugboat. About 2 :30 P. yosterday, tho Vosburgh returned to the harbor, and about 4 o'clock Cutler was arrested by United States Deputy Marshal Biggort and taken before Commissioner Morle, who accepted $1,000 bail for his appoaran so boforo him at 10:30 this morning, Mr.

Moran going on his bond. The case came up boforo Commissioner Morlo this morning: United States District Attorney Jesse Johnson appearing for tho people Chief Engineer Cutter, who belongs to Boston, was present, but tho injured fireman was not, nor did the marshals know his whereabouts. When last seen ho said he would try to get into a hospital. District Attorney Johnson then instructed the marshal to have tho man notified to be prosont in court on Wednesday, at 11 A. to which hour and date the caso was adjourned.

The engineer's defense is that Walshe refused to do his duty, thereby imperiling the lives of all on board; that ho was drunk and struck at his superior officer with a shovel, and that he bolioyod he was justified in tho courao he took with Walshe. TflE BODY NAVI YAItD NOTES. Grand Army Illen Who Will Go to the Boston Encnmpmenl. Tho busiest department at the navy yard just at present is that of the general storekeeper." Requisitions by the bushel for the thousand and one articles required to jnako up the complement of a ship's outfit como in every hour from tho vessels at tho navy yard that are fitting ont for their cruises. Tho new law, whioh permits stores to be issued whenover thoy are required without regard to the department for which thoy were originally purchased, has been found to entail a great simplification of this work.

Under tho old law a lot of rod tape processes had to be gone through with beforo stores for and charged to ono department could be issued to another, no matter whether thoy woro useless to tho former and of terioua importance to tho latter or not, and thns great waste and vexatious delays resulted. Acting commandant of tho yard, Captain J. N. Miller, said this morning he had not received any instructions touching tho official recoption of President Harrison to morrow, and the silence of the department is interpreted as a tolerably certain indication that tho execntivo will not visit tho yard at all to morrow, but will board tho Baltimore for his cruiso to Boston in the North river. Private Secretary E.

W. Halford yesterday sent to Adjutant Goueral Dalton, of Massachusetts, a telegram stating that the Presidont would leave Washington on Saturday morning and New York Saturday evening on the Baltimore, lying on the sound ovor Sunday and arriving at Boston Monday afternoon.

A Queer Outrage on the Kings County Road. Some Unknown Rascal Has Damasred Many of tke CaRe CoYerinsrs The Work Bene Lato at Night Slasked With a Knife. Jack the Ripper has appeared in Brooklyn. He has not, as yet, begun to carvo up any of tho un fortunato women of the town, but ho has started operations in both an original and destructive manner. Probably the handsomest elevated railroad cars in the world aro thoso of tho Kiugs county elevated road.

The seats aro made out of cauo matting, strongly wovon together and of tho most expensive and durable material. They aro largo and comfortable, with big backs and luxurious head pieces. Indeed, these seats havo been objects of great prido to President James Jourdan and the directors of the company, as well as things of beauty and a joy forever to the traveling public in Brooklyn. On Wednesday night the conductor of tho train that loivos Fulton ferry at 12 o'clock noticed upon arriving at the terminus of the route at Van Siclen avenuo that several of the seats in the roar car on his train wero mutilated. Great gaps had been cut diagonally acrois tho seat, through whioh the hair stuffing stuck out.

Ho counted in all four seats that had been thus mutilated. The matter was reported to General Manager Goundie who, in turn, sent for one of the headquarters' detectives, whom ho told of the outrage. Last night a great number of seats wero again cut opon between tho hours of 11 and 2 A.M. Altogether forty seats havo been destroyed and rendorod unfit for use. Tho detectives are now on the track of the miscreant and hope to catch him before he will bo able to do much more damage.

The cuts appear to havo been mado with a broad, Bharp instrument, like a razor. President Jourdan is at a loss to explain why the property of tho Kings county road has beon mutilated in this manner. Ho thinks some malicious and insano crank is doing tho work and is greatly disturbed on account of it, not only because it will' cost tho company a great deal of money to repair the damago, but because several of tho cars havo been rendered useless for tho timo being.

A full of Diaaionds and Jowclrj Found iu Possession of a Visitsr to a Pannshep The Prisoner ('enfesses His Various Peculations.

A clover capture by the Second precinct police this morning may have landed behind prison bai one of the gang of diamond Uneven who for some time past havo been working tho resorts along tho Atlantic coast, notably the city of New port, whore several big robberies have been reported. At any rate the officers have captured a man who is plainly one of the boldest and cleverest jewelry thieves who have fall.ni iuto the clutches of the police for many years. About o'clock this morning Detectivo Sergeant Kearney went into MoAleenan's pawn shop on Sands street, and gave notice to let him know if any one tried to pawn a pair of diamond earrings. Property ot this description had been reported stolen last nik'ht from Sands Btreet. At 10 o'clock a handsome, elSt gantly dressed young man.

dark complexlonedr ill, slim and with smooth shaven face, entered tho pawn shop and, opening a small sachel which he carried in his hand, tendered the clerk a pair of diamond earrings. "How much will you let me havo on these he asked. Under pretense of taking fliem to the back of the store for examination, tlio clerk sent word to tlio station and a few moments later tho detective made his appoarajice. As the young man refused to tell where he got the diamonds ha waa put under arrest and taken to the station. Iu answer to the sergeant's question ho gavo hia name as William II.

Clegg, said ho waa 21 years of age, and lived in Delhi, N. Y. Thon Captain Eason ordered tho bag searched and to tho eyes of the interested officers were displayod diamonds and other jewolry worth at least Ihe.ro were five pairs diamond oarrings, one single diamond earring, a diamond finger ring, Bix emerald linger rings, a heavy gold chain, a pair of gold eyei laflses, a pair of silver eyeglasses, a pair of gold cuff bnt tons, and underneath them all was a pair of new trousers and a silk coat. At first the prisoner refused to tell whore ho got tho goods, but finally he made clean breast of the affair and said he had stolen them in Norwich, Boston, Providence, R. and other places.

On his person was found a baggago check numbered 105, and tlio polico secured his sachel, which had bren put on tha steamer W. II. Baldwin foi Kondout. It contained nothing but clothing. Clegg acknowledged that he went through Maiden lane yesterday, and several dealers who liavo lost jewelry will bo over this afternoon to examine tho goods and seo if thoy can identify them.

Tho young man's boldness in thus working the famous Captain MoLoughlin's precinct is one thing that fills tho police with admiration. Inspector Mackellar went to work on the case at onco, and sent telegrams to the chiefs of police in the various cities in which Clegg said he had been. For 6ome reason the arrest was not bul, letined at headquarters until after 1 o'clock, although it was received at 10:30. Clegg asked Captain Eason to send a telegram to his brother, S. D.

Clegg, of Jefferson, N. notifying him of his trouble. Ho said, also, thai he had a sister, Mrs. Nathan Lawrence, living ai 10 Starr street, New London, Conn. On the lining of tho box in which was tho gold watch was tho name of ICattell Brothors, 95 Court street, Boston.

Jowelry sneaks of this man's class, tho polict saj work tho big stores cluellv. whero thoro is a larger stock and where two or threo articles ara not likely to bo missed for several hours. Meanwhile Cle is locked up in tho Second precinct station house, awaiting developmonti which aro expected to bo of a most sensational character. TAKS ON A SPHCE. Sailors of tho White Overstay Their Leave.

About 200 of Undo Sam's marines and Bailors wero distributed over New York city last night when Acting Superintendent Byrnes Bent out a general alarm to all tho polico precincts for their wholesale capture. Tho marines had prolonged their leave of absence: and as the greater part of them belonged to the Boston, which is lying at tho navy yard and which may be summoned at any time to accompany the Baltimore and President Harrison, when the latter leaves hero for Boston, Admiral Walker felt called upon to havo the police assist him iu bringing back tho wayward tars, who are spending their hard earnod cash in the shady nooks of the Bowery. This morning tho police reported that they had met with little succors. A score or so of tho marines had beon raked in and sent to their respective vessels. Thoy looked anything but pleased at tho prospect of their fun being cut short, and had the fact staring them in the faco that they would bo Buffering for their indiscretion whilo their companions wero still enjoying thomselves.

Some of tho Bailors havo been away four or five days. About eighty of them wero from the Chicago, which is lying at tho foot of Wost Twenty third street; sixty belonged to the Atlanta, lying off Twenty sixth street, and the remainder bo long to the Boston. The men havo been cruising for tho last four or livo months and had accumulated somo money. All anticipated having a good timo when they reachod New York, and it is not to bo wondered at that when a leavo of absence was granted to a eouplo of hundred of them, they should forget the way back to the ships again. When tho men aro in port they aro entitled to a leave of absence once a week and aro generally allowod to remain on shoro ono night in tho week.

ThU tho leavo was extended to twenty four hours; but it is safe to say that Admiral Walker knowtht aailorB would not return on schedule time. Three days passed without any effort being mado to call thorn in and meantimo tho concert halls and shooting houses south of Ninth street were reaping a harvest. Last night tho admiral sent a eouplo of tho Boston's officers to headquarters and had tho alarm sent out. Some of the prisoners wore taken up in tho Eldridgo and Elizabeth street police stations last night, and this morning were transferred to their vessels. At noon to day only fifty four men wero missing from tho Chicago, and tho Boston Iliad recovered about fifteen truants.

More will be forwarded during the afternoon by the uolice department Mastor at Arms Bieth.of the Chicago, stood out on tho float at the foot of Twauty third Btreet this morning and Bent out the men on a Bmall boat to their ship as they wandered down. Some of them camo in the care of policemen and others presented themselves because their pockets woro empty. They were all sick looking and repentant. Tho master at arms said they wero not deserters and would not be punished as sivh. "They have merely overstayed thoir loave," ho said, "and are guilty only of a misdemeanor.

Of course they'll bo punished. They'll probably 06 deprived of their loave for throe months and, their good servico record will suffer. But in no) oubo of tho word can they bo called deserters. I waa compelled to put ono man in ironl'. this morning," he continued, "for attempting t(i leave tho ship without permission.

That is do Bcrtion and ho will very likely bo court martialool for it. The men wero desperate when thef reached this port. They had had no leavo for long timo and whatever monoy they got waa thut compelled to accumulate and was burning thoir pocketa. Discipline is discipline with Admiral Walker aud they must suffer for their disobedience although tho circumstances may mitigate thoir offonso iu his eyea somewhat. The polico are entitled to $20 for every man they hand over to us.

Although we don't class tho mon as deserters, wo pay the reward." It is probablo tlio Boston will uot leave the navy yard till next week, and by that time every man of war's man will be compelled to return for financial reasoiiB. I TffO SHIPWRECKED CHEWS. They Are Hcucuod and. Brought Safely to I'ort. Twenty shipwrecked sailors were landod from tho Bteamsliip (Jionfuegos, which arrived from Nassau this morning, at the bargo office, Now York.

The men woro Captain Tofto aud tho crew of tho Norwegian steamship Sigue, which was wrecked on a coral rcof on July 1C. After re maining for cloven days on the vessel thoy wora finally rescued and lauded iu Nassau by thl schooner Fearless. Tho story of tho circumstances of the wrecking, of tho vessel was told by Caytair. Tofte. The vessel was from Jamaica, and was bound for Phila dolphia with a cargo of bananas.

Tho night of July 15 was cloudy and the sea very rough. Tho morning of the iHy following was foggy and so dark that a ship's lougth ahoad could not be dis cerned. The vossel was going at a roducod rate of speed when tho engines suddenly collapsed, and tho captain decided to make for Nassau. He waa steering in that direction when suddenly thero waB a jar and tho vossel was on one of the numerous coral recfa which abouud in tho vicinity of Fishkoyfl. A strong wind from the wuat was blowing at the time.

Tho vessel lay helplessly on Iho reof fox ten days, during whioh timo tho was full ot water which entered tho vessel through a big hole in iho bottom. On tbo tenth day tbo vesaol broke In two Just aft of tho engine room. Signals of distress had been Hying from tho vesnol in tho meantime aud shortly boforo sho foil apart they wero sighted by Iho schooner FearloiS, of Nassau.

Cornr llessenier's Midnlgkt Visit te Ward's Island Results in the Discvei a Probable Murder How the Arrest Was Made. John Fitzpatriek, alias Liverpool Jack, the well known tough and all around bruiser now under a nine years' sentence for ahanghaeing a number of sailors some months ago. is in the Tombs, New York, without bail, and tho chargo against him will very probably bo murder.

At about o'clock last night ex Alderman McCarthy called at Coroner Messc mer'a office in company with a gentleman named Charles Brooks and requested the coroner's intercession to gain them admit tanco to tho Homeopathic hospital, at Ward'a Iflland, at that hour of tho night, their object being to see Mr. William Riley, of 73 West street, who is Mr. Brooks' brother in law. He is dangerously ill aud desires to make hia will. The coroner very kindly consented to accompany the party.

Thoy reached the island about 11 o'clock, having hired a row boat for that purpose. On their arrival at their destination, Coroner Messemer having explained his mission to Dr. Stewart, they wero immediately allowed to visit Mr. Riley, who waa found to bo very sick, though having no other injury than a compound fracture of the left index finger. Coroner Messemer examined him more carefully and soon ascertained that tho man was in the last stages of lockjaw and would undoubtedly die.

His pulso was 13r and his respiration 00. Coroner Mestemer thon questioned him, never dreaming that he was working up a case for himself. After soveral incoherent answers, Riley finally said that he had been knocked down and kicked by Liverpool Jack, and that was the cause of all his sufferings. The name of Liverpool Jack acted like an electric shock on Coroner MesBemer, and he immediately proceeded to take down Riley's anto mortem statement. He said that Saturday a week ncojic walkod into Bootes Cantlin's saloon, at the corner of Washington and Morris streets, and took a glass of boor.

Liverpool Jack, and two others were there. As Riley was going out Liverpool Jack shoved him, knocked him down and kicked him, breaking his finger. Whon he got away from his assailant he went to tho Chambers street hospital, where the wound was dressed, but as he suffered a good deal a few days later ho went to tho Homeopathic hospital at Ward's Island. Coroner immediately camo to town andplaced tho caso in tho hands of Detectivo John H. Lyons, of tho Second precinct.

It was then 2 o'clock in the morning, and at 2:30 Detectivo Lyons had his prisoner in a cell at tho Church street station. Knowing tho nature and tho record of his prisoner, ho took seven officers with him, and covered tho roof, hallway and firo escape of Jack's lodging house, at 32 Greenwich Btreet. Ho then went to tho door of his room and demanded admittance. A gruff answer camo back: "What do you want We want yon," said Deteotive Lyons. "Who in tho aro "Tho police." A low conversation was thon carried on between two persons in the room, which was soon interrupted by Detectivo Lyons directing them to open tho door, or ho would burst it opon.

No answor coming tho detectivo placed his shoulder against the door and in two seconds it was flying off its hinges. Jack was found in tho room with his wife and children and quietly surrendered without being informed of tho chargo against him. Jack's wife was very anxious to know tho charge against him, but Detectivo Lyons took pity upon her and the ohildren and told her that it was on tho old charge. This morning Liverpool Jack was brought beforo Coroner MeBBemer, who committeed him to the tombs without bail to await the result of Riley's injuries. The old charge against Fitzpatriek ia ahaugha ing.

Ho was convicted and sentenced to nine years in tho state's prison. Ho served nine months. His attorney succeeded in getting him a now trial, and he waa released under a $5,000 bond, his bondsman being Boot03 Cautlin, the owner of tho saloon whore the crimo was committed. Jack had only been released four days previous to this latest paBtime of his, which will keep him behind the bars for somo time. He is a tall, burly man, about 5 feet 11 inches high and weighB about two hundred and twenty fivo pounds.

A masBiTO head, with bumps, rhinocoros liko, Bits on heavy shoulders. He was clean shaven, but with a light goatee. He woro a chock pair of trousers, a bluo and whito outine shirt, a black diagonal sack coat and a black alpine hat. ne looked as if he had not anticipated this new episode in his life, and there was a worried look in his face. Coroner Moase mer is confident that Riley will die.

ONL THE SIGNS WERE OBJECTIONABLE. They Are Ordered Destroyed Out Tolstoi Book Continues on Sale. Walter Pollard, of the Pollard publishing company, was at the Tombs police court, Now York, to day, with Lawyer Kano and a lot of witnesses ready to swear that thero was nothiug immoral in Tolstoi's "Kroutzer Sonata," which has boen and is being sold on tho streets at 25 cents a copy. On Wednesday Captain McLaughlin aud Detectivo Nugent, of the Old Slip station houso, assisted by a number of patrolmen, arrested four Btreot venders, William McGuire, 45 Bowery; Henry Boyce, 22 Market street; Stephen Sullivan, 4 Clinton street, and William Wiggins, of 35 Essex street, for selling tho book, on tho ground that it waB immoral. At tho Tombs court yesterday Justice Whito, after looking at the pnsaageB marked in tho book by Authony Corn stock and Captain McLaughlin, paroled tho prisoner until to day and Mr.

Pollard was notified to bo on hand. Lawyer Joseph Moss represented tho vonders. Mr. Pollard told the court that there was nothing obscene or immoral in tho book as translated. Tho Pollard company, he said, published the book and intended to contiuuo to do so unless enjoined by the oourt.

Justice White said that nhilo he did not consider tho book atrictly moral he did not think there was anything liable to hurt anyone's morals in it. He thought, however, that the signs displayed by the venders that tho book had been suppressed by tho czar of Russia and the postmaster general of the United States should be destroyed, as thoy were meant to insinuate that thore was something shocking in the book fend thus mako purchasers among tho enrions. Mr. Pollard said that tho signs should be destroyed, and the court discharged ail tho prisoners and ordered that tho 240 copies of tho book confiscated by the police be returned to them. Meanwhile Mr.

Comstock is reading tho book carefully to seo if he can find anything in it to warrant its suppression. DUDGEON IN TROUBLE AGAIN. This Timo it iv for Blacking a Clerk's Eyes. Frank P. Dudgeon, formerly of Oyster Bay, and now credited with a residenco at 240 West Eighty.fourth street, New York, was held in $300 bail in the Yorkville court to day by Justico McMahon for trial for assaulting Alfred Wilkina, a 10 oar old clerk in a bird and animal store, at 1,480 Broadwry.

Bookkeeper Schoeawerk's Family Hare a Bad Scare at an Early Hour This Morning Tn Thieves Oo Thron srh Their Rooms ABld Bnrsrlary. Tho occupants of the two story and basement Queen Anne cottage at 915 Jefferson avenue had an experience with masked burglars early this morning thafwill donbtlosa leave a lasting im prcBsion upon their memories. About 2:30 o'clook two men with their faces partly concealed under black cloth coverings, with apertures for their eyes, effected an entrance into the house through tho front oellar grating, ascended the cellar stairs and turning the key of the door leading iuto the basement hallway with a pair of nippers from tho inside, stealthily went through the dwelling. Starting at tho lower floor, tho maraudors in turn entered every room in the houBe. They wont through the clothing of tho head of the household, which was strung on a ohair alongside of the bed npon which he and his wife were sleeping without awakoning the sleepers, crept upstairs to tho room of the children of the household, on the floor above, which they also ransanckod without disturbing the occupants, and with drawn pistols entered the bedroom of Annie Roonoy, tho domestic Tho servant's cries Bubsequontly put an end to their depredations.

Tho house is ono of a row of three cottages with bay fronts in Jefferson aveuue, about midway between Ralph and Howard avenues. Tho buildings aro surrounded on all sides by vacant lots. It ia a sparsely settled part of the Twenty fifth ward, within a stoue'a throw of tho dwelling at Jefferson and Patehen aveuues in which a dozen rcara ago then Acting Captain Dunn, of tho old Ninth sub precinct, and hi3 officers unearthed tbe notorious Portor Irving Drapor gang of bur The house is occupied by Albert Sohoenwork, a bookkeeper in a New York bitters manufacturing establishment, aud his family, consisting of MrB. Schoenwerk, threo children and tho domestic. Mr.

and Mrs. Schoenwerk occupy tho back parlor as a sleeping apartment, tho children sleep in tho front room on tho second floor and the uorvant in tho second floor back room. Tho family retired about 11:30 o'clock last night. Tho house was apparently fully secured against intruders at tho time. Mrs.

Schoenwerk was awakened by the frightenod crieB of her servant from the upper floor just as the alarm clock at her bedside sigualod 2:30 A.M. Sho hurriedly jumped out of bed, without awakening her husband and opening the door into the hallway met a Bight which almost transfixed her with fear. Coming down the second floor stairway wero two stocky built individuals wearing masks, with lighted lantern in their left hands and murderous looking revolvers in their right hands. The men caught Bight of the white apparition in tho back parlor doorway and loaning over tho balustrade leveled their weapons at the partly robed woman aud commanded her to bo silent under penalty of death. If she had been commanded to call out under tho oircumstauco3 under pain of immediato anhillation she would have been shot.

She was speeohleas with fright. With their weapons still covering the figure in tho doorway the Btrangers leisurely completed their journey downstairs through the hallway, past Mrs. Schoenwerk, and down tho kitchen stairs to tho basement. As they disappeared out of sight tho terrified woman fell back into her bedroon. Tho movement awoke her husband, who rushed to his wife's side.

Mrs. Shoenwerk gasped tho one word "Bur glai'B" and fainted away. He husband heard a sound in the back yard and looking through the windows of the room beheld two men with lantorns going over tho rear fence, which separates tho yard from a vacant lot facing on Putnam avenuo. He went to tho front of the houso, aud quickly throwing up one of the parlor windows shouted lustily for the police. Mrs.

Schoenwerk, who had by this tirao returned to consciousness, joined in her husband's cries, and tho occupants of the two adjoining houses were arousod, and a perfect bedlam of shouts rent tho air in the vicinity. Officer James Ryan, of the Fourteenth precinct, was on post at Howard avenue aud Halsey street, nearly two blocks distant, and hoard the shouting. He ran to tho scene, and was rocoivod with ehouta of joy from tho terrified people. He was admitted into tho house, rushed down stairs and, of course, nobody was to be found. Tho front basement window was opon, evidently arranged as a speedy means of exit by the burglars in caBO of an emergency, and the kitchen door leading iuto tho yard stood ajar.

The men had left the houso by this means. Somebody about this time thought of the servant and children on the upper floor. Mr. Schoenwerk ran upBtairs and discovered Annie Rooney with his children huddled around her crouched up in a corner of the youngsters' sleeping apartment almost dead with fright The gas was lighted throughout tho houso. and with the assistance of the neighbors, tho oeeu pantB and Officer Ryan made a thorough search of tho premises.

It waa discovered that tho only articles missing wore a gold bracelet, a pocketbook containing $4, both of which upon retiring wero left on the bureau in Mr. and MrB. Schoenwerk's bedroom, and a bunch of keys which had boen abstracted from Mr. Schoenwerk's trousers pockets close by his bedside. Tho burglars, it was seen, had got into tho houso through tho front cellar grating, tho chain of which was noror fastened.

The door at the head of the cellar stairs was open, and tho butt end of the brass key in the lock freshly scraped, aa if with nippers, from tho inside. In tho yard near the kitchon window was picked up two black cashmere masks. The imprint of tho fellows' feet were plainly visible in the soft ground in the lot on the outaide of tho rear fence. They wero traced clear up to tho stouo pavement on Putnam avenue. The servant statea that she was awakened by the men coming into her room, tho door of which was left unlocked.

She looked up and saw tho masked intruders, tho foremost of whom held a loaded pistol closo to hor head and ordered her to keep quiet. Sho had nothing to say at this stage of the proceedings, and the men directed her to get up and go into the adjoining room with the children. Sho obeyed mechanically and kept quiot until tho unwoloome visitors had started to go dowiiBtairs. Then alio Bcroeched and awoke her mistress. Sho describes the men as about 5 feet 0 inches in height, of stocky build and dressed in dark clothing.

She could not Bee their faces on account of the masks, but thinks from their movements and the power of their voices that they wore about middle age. Captain Dunn and his detectives are investigating tho matter and Deteotive Anderson is inclined to believe that he knows one of the fellows. There is no question in tho minds of tho authorities but that the burglars woro experienced cracksmen. The burglary was doubtlesa planned a good way ahead. Suspicious individuals have been seen lurking about the neighborhood for several weeks.

Last Monday night, whilo seated on the front stoop of thoir residence the occupants of 017 saw two rough looking men stretched out on the grass in an opon lot opposite, for soveral hours. A night or two before the samo fellows were observed standing closo to the iron railing surrounding Mr. Sohoonwerk's residenco, apparently listouing to the music from a piano in the parlor of tho houso. In the light of the burglary it is surmised that tho orackBmou wore then laying thoir plans for this morning's job. DEATH OF JOHN ERHAHDT.

Matthe.rr Dean Succeeds Him as Head or the Municipal Company Aldcriuanic Explanations Absenteeism From Fes tcrday's Board Meeting.

Mirabeau L. Towns, who handles the legal lover for tho new electric light combination, was at the city hall this morning. About tho first man ho mot there was Alderman Black, who, with Alderman Heaney, was lurking around the corri doi 3 of tho hall, wlnlo the board was trying to get a quorum yesterday afternoon. Had Black aud Heaney appeared in the chamber a quorum would have beon present. Heaney'a exouao is that ho was about to start for Saratoga, having understood that thero would be no meeting.

Mr. Towns talked to Alderman Black very plainly, an 1 told him that if the alderman wished to meet the wishes of the people of the Eighteenth ward, where he lived, ho would do what ha could to havo the application for a franchise granted. Mr. Black replied that ho was in favor of tho application, and had so declared himself. Mr.

Towns said that the alderman adopted a very quocr way to show it when He kept away from tho meeting room yesterday, whereas if ho and Heaney had attended a meeting of the board could have been held. Mr. Black said ho did not go up there because he had understood that thero was to bo no meeting, as a quorum of members could not bo got together. He reiterated that ho waB in favor of the application and should support it. Mr.

Towns also called upon Acting Mayor Mccarty and oxpressed his disappointment at tho failure of the board to luvo a meeting yesterday. Mr. McCarty explained that ho had been acting as mayor and that ho did not attend because if tho board had taken action tho matter migbt havo to como boforo him officially as the representative of the mayor. Ho said he thought there would bo a meeting on September 4, to which time an adjournment was ordered yesterday, and expressed himself in general terms as being in favor of competition in electrio lighting and granting franchises to eapablo and responsible parties. Mr.

Towns left apparently under tho impression that Mr. McCarty was not hostile to tho now scheme, although the acting mayor did not oommit himself to it. Mr. McCarty has commanding influence in the board and no one doubts that if ho should say to his colleagues, "Now, boys, this thing must paBs," it would go thro ugh flying. Ho hasn't yet said anything like that.

Possibly ho will by and by. Mr. Towns talked with other alderman in a conciliatory rather thau an antagonistic way, and left the hall a trifle moro cheerful than when he entered. Captain Cocheu, who has boon in and out of the hall so often on the same stylo of business during the. past two years, that ho has worn away tho front stops, did not show up at the building to day.

His parting remark yesterday, that a dynamo should bo attached to the aldermanic absentees and 500 volts sent into thorn, is not likely to make friends among them, although what he said was moro just than otherwise. Coohon has been working hard for a franchise, and when other eloctric light interests went in with him, ho appeared to think that success was finally at hand. As a matter of fact, tho impression among those who havo boen watching things is that it is as far away as ever. The old electrio light interests are against tho new combination, and it is belioved that until that opposition shall have beon removed Messrs. Cochon, Towns, Cooper and others will havo to remain out in tho cold.

Meanwhile the wiring of the eastern district for tho incandescent light will bo pushed forward to completion by the Municipal company, and after a while it may ho considered Bafe to let tho others have their franchise. As tho Eaole predicted some time ago, thero has beon a big change in the Brooklyn Municipal eloctric light company. At the election last night Matthew Dean superseded Charles Cooper afl president of tho compann, Edgar Halliday was elected vice president, Edward G. Graft, secretary, and James L. Jensen, treasurer.

The directors are Bernard Gallagher, John Hull and ClomentLockott. It has boen an open secret for soino time that Mr. Dean had his eye on the presidency, and that tho knowing ones said that no amount of kicking from Mr. Cooper and his friends would avail in kooping Mr. Dean out of the chair when the time for election would come around.

Tho meeting last night, howovor, was harmonious. Mr. Coopor took his usual placo as chairman of the meeting, and Kobort Payne recorded the proceedings. The eloction was quietly proceeded with, and everything went off as smootlnly as at tho directors' meeting on August 5, when tho changes were practically decided upon. According to Mr.

Dean, who was neon by a reporter this morning, thero was no opposition whatever made by Mr. Coopor or his friends to the change, nor was there any hard feeling in tho matter on the retiring side. Jr. Coopor told mo thirty days ago," said ho, "that he intended to retire at tho next election. There liaa boen no change as far as tho Btock is concerned.

To bo sure I bought up a littlo parcel a short time ago, but I bought it because it waa cheap, and it had nothing to do with my taking the presidency. Mr. Coopor has told mo that he does not intend to dispose of any of his stock, as he considers It as good an investment as he can hang on to. I do not deny that I assured Mr. Cooper that I would take care of any stock he might wish to dispose of at tho best figure he can get for it, but as I said before he does not in tond to sell and matters remain just as they did bofore, oxcept for tho chango in tho management." Despite the rosy situation IhuB depicted, the fact remains that Mr.

Cooper for one reason or another has boen out of favor with the controlling spirits in both of the old companies, and tho belief that ho has been frozen out cannot be Bhakeii. Some of the inon who have been closely associated with him have suddenly lost that friendly ardor which they once exhibited toward hiin. Mr. Cooper, who is a ahrowd, clever business man, and personally affable, does not part with all his interest in the Municipal company, it is true, but ho has coaBed to havo any influeuco in that corporation. Ho has become a part of the Cochen Towns combination, aud he doesn't help them any.

PARENTS PETITlONliVG. 'hc Want to Know Why Their Chil drcu Were Nat Promoted. Superintendent Maxwell is in collision with Principal Cusack on the subject of marking for promotion, aud the remit ia an indignant protest from the parents of scholars who have failed to get certificates of promotion. The principals in tho matter cannot be soon, Principal Cusack being out of town, and Superintendent Maxwell declining to bo interviewed on tho question while it is boforo the committees to which it was referred for settlement. These committees are the teachers' committee and the local committee ot the school.

Tho story of tho caso is that when the usual records of the examinations, with the names of those marked for promotion, wero handed into the superintendent thoy wero returned on the ground that the markings were so high as to give promotion to too many scholars. Prin cipal Cusack, re examined them and returned them with tho explanation that as many of them had boon made by a head of department who had been thirty years employed as a teacher, he felt that they were correct, though ho had re examined them as requested. Later, when the cards of promotion wero applied for a number wero refused on the ground stated in the return of tho examination papers. The parents were informed of this state of facts and they drew up the petition to tho local committee, on which the board ordered the investigation by tho Joint committee. Tho petitioners are as follows; Thoiuaa Sullivan, 58 North Third street; J.

Perlmnn, 300 North Seventh Btreet; S. Brom berg, 141 Grand Btreet; JohnCooney, 257 North Seventh street; Francis Duffy, 149 North Second Btreet; Potev Oggori, 130 North Sixth street: Laurio M.

GOT HIS MONEY. Swindlers Rob Pastor Peter Sapoiiari. The Rector of an Itn'ian Catholic Church ia tin Eastern District Victimized by Tito of His Fellow CoiiBtrymen, Who Get Away With All His Savings. P.cv. Peter Saponari.

pastor of tho Italian Soman Catholic Church of Onr Lady of Jit. Carmel. on North I lilitli street, near Union avenue, was the victim a couple days ago of two sharpers, fellow countrymen, to the tuno of $3,000. The modus operandi of the swindlers was unique ami bold, and none but confiding clergymen, unsophisticated in the ways of tho wicked world, about which bo much is said from the pulpit, would have fallen into the trap. The priest is a comparatively younfr man, possessed Dt a good deal of energy, and is working hard in the interest financially of his church and spiritually of the congregation, lie is full of the milk of human kindness and a desire to elevate ami do good to his countrymen.

To tho latter circumstance he can attribute ihe sudden disappearance of all his savings for fifteen years. Just six weeks ago a middle aged, bearded, respectable appearing man, of plausible address, visited him at lii residence, on Havemeyer street, near North Eighth, and in his native tongue unfolded a tale which was very llattering to him, for it tended to show him tho confidence the Italians reposed in him. "Hive here in Willi.tmsburgh," said the man in Italian, and although I have no personal acquaintance with you I feel that I havo known you all my life, bo familiar is your name and so well arc you spoken of for your good work. You are the man of all others I have selected to perform what I regard a most sacred duty to a littlo orphan nephew of mine. His lather diod a short hile ago in New York, possessed of $10,000 in cash.

Ilia last wish, as expressed to me, was that bis boy, with the $10,000, should be placed in Charge of some good man, an Italian, who would eo that the lad received a thorough education. In the event of the boy dying he desires, ill com formity with the dying wish of his father, that the money bo given to some charitablo institution or the founding of one. In my judgment, and from all that I know of you by reputation, you are just tho man to take charge of the boy and tho monoy." Tho good priest was very much interested in tho story, but, strange to say, ho neglected to ask the man his name or tho cognomen of his prospective protege. Ho partly consented to discharge what he felt was a duty, and probably law in the orphan a future distinguished divine. The man called about twice a week after, at the clergyman's request, and they talked over the (natter.

Tho stranger was a good convers iKon aliet and interested the divine. The mrjOuim toy was not produced, howovor, tlie undo giving a plausiblo oxcuae for not bringing him along and for not being ablo to attend to his tuition himself. At an interview last Tuosday tho man stated that it was necessary that the priest should furnish security for the $10,000, and tho latter recognized the Justice of the proposition, but said that all tho money he had in tho world was $3,000, which was deposited in tho Chambers Btreet bank, Now York (meaning probably the Emigrant savings bank). The man said that the Bum was satisfactory, considering that he was a clergyman, and maclo an appointment for tho next day at Delmoiiico's hotel, Now York, where all the negotiations would be perfected. He told She clergyman to have the $3,000 with him.

Father Sapoiiari was on hand at Delmonico's promptly at 2 o'clock and his friend was there irith another man. They had a tin box and the priest had a traveling bag, in conformity with previous arrangement. The two men unlocked tho tin box and drew forth a large roll of bills in a bank wrapper, on tho outride of which were tho figures 10,000. They turned up the front of the pile and thero was a $100 bill. They said all were of the same denomination.

The priest was satisfied, for tbe wrapper was to him convincing proof that tho monoy had boon withdrawn from a bank, as it resembled his own in all particulars. "It's all right," said Father Saponari. His two friends, who had previously addressed tho waiters in French, placed tho money in the box at the table and carefully locked it and hauded tho priest the key. They then placed lhc box in tho priest's bag and he locked I Father Saponari then handed tlio man who had conducted tho negotiations $3,000. and the latter merely looked at a few bills, said that tho tlergymau's word was sufficient as to the correctness of the amount, and put the monoy in his inside vest pocket.

The man promised to call at the priest's house that evening or yesterday morning with tho orphan nephow. Tho three men then arose, Father Saponari carrying the bag. At Fourth avenue they separated, the men taking an uptown car in tho direction of tho Grand Central depot. The man did not call with the boy that oven iug or yesterday moruing so the priest grow suspicions. Ho opened his bag and took out the tin box which ho unlocked.

His feelings can better bo imagined than described when he discovered only a folded book withapapor cover tho box. Ho then for the first time realized that he had been swindled, Mid, after consulting friends, this morning informed Captain Short. Detective Corcoran wont irith the priest to Inspector Byrnes in New York, (ind returned at noon. Tho detectivo stated that tho inspector heard the priest's story aB given above. The inspector said that ha would do all he could to arrest tho swindler but expressed the opinion that they had left tho Btate.

He thought it singular that tho man who conducted tho negotiations could speak French fluently, nd regarded it as proof that he was a man of pmo education, if not a Frenchman. Father Saponari said that tlio man was an Italian, and neither gave his own namo nor that' of his mythical nephew. Tho priest added that the $3,000 represented tho Bavings of Cfteou years. a AFTER FIVE YEARS Philip Nickel Meets ii Be linqucnt Customer. In June, 18S5, Thilip Siegel, a peddlar whoie office ia at 58 A'esey street, sold a gold watch to Angclo Olios, an Italian sliocmaker whoso place Df business was at the corner of Kent and Myrtle ivenncs.

The prico of tho watch agreed upon which was to be paid in monthly in Itallmoiits. When Siegel called for the first pay jnent he found Gios' ulace closed, and was told that ho had gone to Italy. few days ago Siegel, in going his rounds, tnterod a shoo store on Nassau street, New York city, and the first man lie laid eyo3 on was Gios. The lattor denied at first that he was the man who had bought tho watch, but when Siegel persisted that he was right the Italian picked up a shoe knife and chased him out of the store. Siegel brought suit in Justice Courtney's court this morning against Gios for the value of the watch and costs.

A.V.NIE FELL OVEiUIOARD. She Was in Too of a Hurry to Gel Anliorc.

FISH HAS BEC03IE A GREAT LUXURY. The I.arffo Price oS lee Hai list Effect oh the Food Supply. Thoso who considered fresh fish in the light of a necessity on last Friday's dinner table, to day look upon the finny beauties as something moro than luxuries moro like eating terrapin and greenbacks.

The prices have bobbed up so suddenly that consumers can hardly understand the reason thereof. Fish Commissioner Blackford was found in his office at Fulton market this morning and very quickly explained tho causa. "It is all due to tho rise in ice, of course," said he. "Fish were never more plentiful than they are at tho present time, but tho smack owners cannot afford to pay $13 or $14 per ton for ice and without it they cannot bring in their cargoes. This scarciiy in ice while affecting the prico of all kinds of fish is moro particularly felt in the bluefisli market, for that ib tho stock fish of this season of the year.

Last Wednesday bluefish wero selling for 5 conts a pound, but today they aro hard to buy at 12kii. Ton days ago we could buy them for 75 cents per 100 pounds, but now they can bo gotten hardly for love or money. Ice ia tho big item to tho fish dealer as well as to the fisher himself and when that goes up it affects us all around. Bait has also beeu somowhat scarce and this, too, has tended to run the price up. Thero aro onor mou3 quantities of fish in this locality, moro than we have had for many years, but the smacks cannot bring them in without ice.

I think the famine is the immediate result of the recent hot weather, and just as Boon as we get a cool day or two the price of ice will come down very quickly and then we will havo plenty of fish. You see, when it ia cool ice accumulates here, and speculators who bring it from tho North cannot keep it long, bo they are willing to sell out.eheap. Then the smacks will load np and we shall again have cheap fish. SUING FOR DIVORCE. Mrs.

Michael Glynn Evades Officer Cross by Jumpio? From a Third Story Window, bat the Man's Father and Brother Give the Patrolman a Brisk Tussle. Twenty two year old Michael Glynn, in trying to escape arrest, made a desperate leap laBt night from a third story window and, although badly shakon up and bruised, he had strength enough loft to climb a fence aud elude tho clutches of tho law in the person of Officer Jerry Cross, of Justice Tighe'a court. A few days ago a warrant was issued for Glynn's arrest on a charge of malicious mischief and the document waa given to Cross to serve.

Ho paid a visit to the home of Glynn's parents, who livo on the top floor of tho three story frame house at tho foot of Twenty second street. Tho young man was not at home, but at 8 o'clock last night Crosa saw him on Third avenuo. Glynn Baw Cross at tho same timo and started on a dead run down Tweuty second street toward homo, with the officer in pursuit Tho fugitive reached the houso a few moments in advance of Cross and dashed upstairs into his parent' apartments. Just aa the officer entered the room Glynn jumped from the open window into the yard below. As Cross looked out of the window ho saw tho young man get on hia feet and stagger toward tho fence at the rear of tho yard.

With a desporato effort ho pulled himself to the top and, dropping over on the other sido, escaped. As Cross turned to leave tho room ho found his way barred by the rest of the Glynn family. These wore the head of tho family, Patrick Glynn; his wife and daughter and his 18 year old son, John. The quartet caught hold of the officer at onco aud tried to Dush him out of tlio window. Cross, who is a young man of splendid physique, had to right for his life and with an almost superhuman effort managed to get to tho door with his assailants clinging to hia back.

At this point the elder Glynn struck the officer r. blow in tho eyo with his fist, and Cross told him to consider himsolf under arrest. Catching hold of Patrick, Cross dragged him downstairs and into the yard, followed by the reat of tho family. Thero John Glynn picked np a atone and Btruck tho officer on tho back of tho head, raising a lump the sizo of an egg. Then Cross decided upon a difforont lino of action aud, drawing hia pockot club, Btruek hia prisoner several blows that took all tho fight out of him.

Ho then caught hold of the younger Glynn, who promised to keep quiot if the officer wouldn't club him, and in a twinkling Cross had the nippers on John's wrists. Ho took his prisoners to tho Eighteenth precinct police atation, followed by a largo crowd, but Mrs. Glynn and her daughter wisely stayed at home. This morning father and son were, arraigned beforo Justico Walsh in tho Butler street police court on a charge of assault. Officer Cross was also on hand.

His face was full of scratches, hia left eyo was blackened and tho lump on his head made it difficult for him to wear hia hat. The Glynns wore very penitent and said that they assaulted tho officer under tho uiipulso of tho moment. Big heartod Cross was not inclined to soo his assailants severely punished, and thoy escaped with a sentence ot twenty days each in jail. Michaol Glynn, tho causo of all the troublo, is still at largo. CELIA SKELLEY CAUSES EXCITEMENT.
