March 30 Legislative cor respondent who have been longing for trans mirtation in? field of action ine existing difficulties Spain make possible, had 'their sanguinary ambition gratified on the floor of 'the State Senate this morning, when one of the most turbulent and unbecoming scenes in many years was enacted. It. came suddenly and v. hile it lasted the onlookers held close to their places in surprise and astonishment. Lieutenant Governor Woodruff was in the thick of it.

and about every Senator on the floor had a hand in the disturbance. Fisticuffs seemed imminent. all came about over the resolution calling for an additional appropriation of seven millions for the canals. When the reports from committees came in, Senator Cantor, leader of the minority, moved to take his motion to discharge the finance committee from further consideration of the resolution from the table, that it might be disposed of. There was a I i tile parliament a'ry discussion and then 'the Senator spoke his motion.

Although Senator Raines argued that it a dS out of order. Senator Lexow declared that eh move v. as merely political buncomb on the part of the minority. When the final vote was taken, the margin was a close one, 22 standing for Cantor's motion, while 3 were in the negative, 'the Brooklyn Senators, Brush. Gallagher.

Nearly All the Men Are Recent Appointments and Are Said to Be Republicans A Saving of $4,600 Thereby Effected.

Forty three train hands, employed on the bridge railroad, were notified to day that their services would be no longer need after tbe end of the month. This is in line with the policy of retrenchment previously announced by the bridge officials and made necessary through the big railing off in Ve ceipts on account of the operation of bridge trolleys. A fortnight ago the bridge officials discharged thirteen collectors and choppers and with the discharges to day this makes a decrease of fifty six men in the bridge service owing to the trolleys. It is expected that no more discharges will be made until the ele vated roads are crossing the bridge, at which time, the bridge officials say, the greater number of the bridge train hands will be let go. rru i uuinoer or men discharged to day is much larger than it was the original intention of the bridge officials to make.

It was said this morning that is so on account of the fact lhat the traffic on the bridge railroad has fallen off so greatly that there is practically no demand for it, except in the rush hours of the day. Investigations of this subject have been made by the officials and the result has been that four car trains have been found running with one, two, three and five passengers in them in the middle of the day, and even as late as 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon, when the rush is usually heavy, one four car train only held eleven pasengers. It was this investigation as well as the falling off in receipts which average some $1,700 per day, that decided 'the officials to make the reduction in the employes. One result of the discharges will be an entirely new train schedule. The engineers are at work upon this and while it has not been prepared as yet it has been decided that a reduction in the number of trains operated will be made.

The number of cars in each train will also be reduced and it is the present intention of the officials to run one and two car trains during the entire twenty four hours, except in the rush hours. It is believed that this service will provide all. the transportation facilities desired and if the results of the investigations noted above are any criterion even one car trains will be. more than ample. No information could he obtained this morning as to the men discharged and it was said that politics had no bearing in determining the men that would go.

It was learned, hew ever, that' nearly all, if not all of the forty three, are men who have been appointed recently. This means when the Republican administration had control of the bridge, and the inference is hot denied that the men were appointed through that influence. No direct confirmation of this can be obtained and all queries are met with the reply that the engineers decided, on the men to go. It is an open secret, however, that the majority of the men discharged are Republicans, and this is not denied at the bridge office. The discharges to day.

togeer with those made recently, mean a saving of some 34,600 per month In the bridge salary lut. This is not the only saving, however, as there will be a reduction in the amount of power needed to run the cars, fewer platform men, who will be the next to go. and the brides will also save in wear and tear on its rolling stock and equipment. SUITS AND COTTIER Are in the Race for the Superintendency of Supplies. Considerable 'intere'St is being taken as to who s'hall fill the position of superintendent of supplies of tfie School Board the borough of Brooklyn, made vacant by the elec of former Superin ten dent Simmons to the position of superintendent of supplies of the Board of Education of Greater New York.

Section 1,078 cif the charter provides that the superintendent of supplies of the Beard of Education may appoint such deputy superintendents and such ofher subordinates as the bylaws of the board may authorize, and wljile the position of a deputy superintendent has not yet been created, the heard Will probably pass the necessary resolution at Its next meeting. In the mEandme the canvass of the various candidates is being vigorously prosecuted. The candidates who have appeared moic prominently in t'ae struggle are R. J. Suits, at present employed in the office of Secretary Brown of the School Board, and John Cottier, ex county clerk of Kings County.

The friends of hotCt are making a determined fight for their candidate and both sides are counting on victory. SAYS HIS BOOKS ARE CORRECT. (Special to the Eagle.) Long Island City, L. March 30 The examination of Joseph McKenna, chief clerk and cashier of the Water Department under the old administration, who was continued in office by tho present administration, was postponed this morning until a week from to day at the request of the District Attorney's office.

ROBERT HALSTEAD DISCHARGED Charge of Abduction Preferred by Miss Jennie Hilton Dismissed Upon an Unusual Technicality.

The charge of abduction which has been pending against Robert Halstead, a salesman who lives on Fifty fourth street, South Brooklyn, since October last, was dismissed this morning by Magistrate Worth in Gates avenue court upon an unusual technicality. In the complaint against the prisoner he was charged by the parents of Jennie Hilton with abducting her from her home at 1.895 Atlantic avenue. Mrs. Jessie Hilton, mother of the girl, alleged in the complaint that Jennie was under the age of IS years at the time of the alleged abduction. Halstead was a piano salesman at the time and had been in the habit of calling frequently at the Hilton home.

When he and Jennie disappeared the mother of the girl swore out a warrant against the man and nnally in December of last year ftetectlve William Stack of the Twenty seventh precinct arrested Halstead. The examination of the case has been adjourned at least ten times since it was first called. At the last hearing the lawyer for the defense informed the magistrate "that he had learned from the records in the Board ot Health that Jennie was older than she was supposed to be. This morning Mrs. Hilton testified that Jennie was born on Julv 4.

1876, instead of in 1S78, as she at first thought and was therefore at the time of the alleged abduction over 18 years of age. Upon this statement Magistrate Worth said that he would be obliged to dismiss the complaint. Mrs. Hilton, it seems, does not possess a record of the births of her three children, but she has always given Jennie to understand that she would be IS on July i next. To Be Placed in an Institution for Treatment.

Arthur White, son of S. V. White, the Wall street broker living at 210 Columbia heights, will be examined to day as to his sanity and will probably be placed in the care of his father, who wishes to put him In a private institution for treatment. Arthur White is 33 years old. He is married and has several children.

Mr. White was not at his office at New and Wall street. Manhattan, this morning, neither had he been on the floor of the Exchange. It was thought by his friends that he would look to the adjudging on the plea of insanity of his son to day. It is the desire of Mr.

White to place the young man under a long course of treatment and he hopes that the result will be to render him more normal. STRANGLED TO DEATH. Opinion of Coroner's Physician in an Infanticide Case. Coroner's Physician Hawxhurst held au autopsy yesterday afternoon on the body of an infant which Mary Pinch, 21 years old. an(1 coIored, was the mother.

The girl employed in a boarding house at 173 Fort ureene place. The report of the physician 2s that the child died from strangulation. Ambulance Surgeon Casselbury was called to attend the woman at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, and when he arrived at the house he found that the child was dead. He suspected that the infant did not die from natural causes and notified the police and the Coroner's office. A charge of homicide was made against the woman.

She was taken to the Homeopathic Hospital and when able to leave there will be arraigned in the Myrtle avenue court to answer the charge. FACED THE CONGREGATION. A Thief With Strong Nerves Visits the Church of the Messiah in Manhattan. A very curious theft took place at the Church of the Messiah, Park avenue and Thirty fourth street, Manhattan, on Sunday morning. At 11 o'clock the church building was comfortably filled and the preacher, the Rev.

Robert Collyer. stepped out of the vestry and mounted the pulpit stairs. Hardly had he seated himself when a man followed him through the door and leisurely and coolly wended his way down the aisle. The members of Dr. Collyer's family who were sitting in the fron't pew.noticed that the man, who was rather shabbily dressed, carried an overcoat on his arm and an umbrella in his nana.

One of them noticed tnat in an outside pocket of tne coat he wore, was a long object, looking like a tin case. The sexton of the church met the man at the threshold of the vestry, but not until he got inside the room, and noticed that Dr. Collyer's overcoat was not in the accustomed place, did he 'think the conditions at all strange. Missing the coat, however, he went into the church and whispered to the preacher, asking whether he had left his overcoat in the usual place. On receiving au affirmative reply, he started out a't once to look for the stranger, but that individual had had too good a start.

He got away with his booty. He had 'taken Dr. Collyer's overcoat, which was a new and expensive one, bis umbrella, which bore his name, while the article which looked like a tin case, was undoubtedly the back ot a Small mantel clock, belonging to the Rev. Minot J. Savage, which was also missing.

The thief had been obliged to go through the church to get to the vestry, and It Is supposed had secreted himself in the Sunday school room, with which the vestry conects, until Dr. Collyer went out, when he immediately took what he could quickly lay hands on, and went out, facing the entire congregation as he left. SUCCUMBED TO Bertha Pritchard Dies From the Effects of Laudanum in a Servants' Home. Dr. Hawxhurst, the post mortem examiner for Coroner Burger, made an autopsy this afternoon on the body of Be'tha Pritchard, 24 years old, who died suddenly in the Martha Home for Servants, at 74 Schermerhorn street, last night.

The young woman was of excellent character, had been employed' in the home ot Mrs. Behr at 426 Henry street. She left there on Monday, as she had not been' feeling well and took a room at the Home for Servants on Schermerhorn street. The girl had enough money to pay her board. She slept nearly all the time that she was in the home and the people there finall yreached the conclusion that she was under the influence of a strong narcotic.

Yesterday afternoon her sleep had an unnatural aspect and Dr. Anderson of 527 Henry stret was called in. From the condition of the pupils of her eyes it was evident that she was suffering from laudanum poisoning. She died at 7 o'clock last night. The autopsy showed that death was due to laudanum poisoning.

There was no reason apparent for any attempt at suicide except inaications that she must have suffered recently from an abnormal enlargement of the liver. DECISION RESERVED In Mrs. Teese's Suit to Get Possession of Her Children. Justice Dickey in Supreme Court this morning reserved decision on the matter of the confirmation of tho report of Referee Almet Jenks in tho petition of Dais E. Teese to get poBBesBion of her two children, Leslie Dwigh; and Margaret Teese, now in the custody of their father.

William D. Teese. Mr. Jenks found that 3IrB. Teese was not guilty of the acts of infidelity which her nusband charged her with, in connection with a.

deacon named Phelps, acting rector at Babylon, L. where Mrs. Teese lives. It wan on ncoonnt of these alleged acts that the father refused to give up the children to his wife. Mr, Jenks found, that Mrs.

Teese had been simply indiscreet, and thought that tho husband and" wife should have alternate charge of the children. J. Stewart Kohb. who had a serious accident by being thrown from Mb horBe recently, had recovered sufficiently to appear for Mrs. Teese and oppose the confirmation of the report.

He declared that tho roport was against the weight of evidence. The mother was exonerated and should have entire charge of the children. Mr. ItoflB was warmly congratulated by his brother lawyers on his lucky eBcape from a more serious accident. NO INCREASE OF ALIMONY.

Justice Dickey Denies the Motion in the Pollock Case. Justice Dickey in Supreme Court this morning refused to allow additional alimony for Kate Eleanor Pollock in a suit for absolute divorce brought against her hy her husband, Arthur R. Pollock, the blind organist of Carlton avenue. Counsel for Mrs. Pollock, William W.

Butcher, said that the jury had found practically for the defendant on the trial and that the nominal alimony cf $10 a week was not enough for her support and that of the child. Pollock's income was $3,300 a year and he should be made to pay more, counsel said. The judge in denying the motion said that the trial was over and it only remained to enter judgment. For counsel fee $150 was allowed. A GROCER ACCUSED.

Ernest RoorcIi. a grocer, of 1,098 Fulton streot. was charged this morning in the Gates avenue court with selling oleomargerino for butter. The complainant against tho prisoner FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT. Justice Maddox of the Supremo Court has directed an order to be issued committing to jail Jacob Kabatchnick for disobeying the court's order in not paving alimony due amounting to 3550, to his wife, as a result of legal proceedings instituted November 17, 1S97.

nt by Asked the African Republic tof Accept a Protectorate. DEMANDED $13,000 INDEMNITY For Alleged Injustice to a German SubjectBishop Hartzell of the Methodist Episcopal Church Brings Back a Curious Story From Africa Is Himself a Commissioner Sent to England and the United States. Bishop Hartzell, the American Bishop of Africa, who in the last sixteen months has traveled over forty six thousand square miles in and about Africa, arrived here on trie Whfte Star liner Teutbhic, with startling news of events in far away Liberia. The Bishop was appointed to his present post by the Cleveland M. E.

conference in 1896. "When I was in Liberia onor.fl,, i. tt uv said, a German gunboat came to Monrovia with a demand on the Liberian government for $13,000 indemnity for alleged attack on a German subject, whose recall. The commander of the gunboat threat cue Iore it tne 313,000 was not paid in forty eight hours. The German had some trouble with.

Liberian natives and of this sum, $5,000 was demanded because' it was charged that the natives broke up his coffee fields; $3 000 it was alleged that the natives drew a knife on him and $4,500 to pay the expenses of the gunboat in coming to make the demand. President Colman of Liberia replied that that was a matter for the local courts to adjudicate and showed great ability and courage in resisting the German demand "Then the Governor of the Cameroons, who was on the gunboat, saw the palpable injustice of tne demand, and with the German cou sul, Jaeger, proposed to President Colman that a treaty looking to the establishment ot. a German protectorate over Liberia, with the understanding that if such a treaty was sealed Germany would waive all claims to the demanded indemnity. President Colman resolutely refused to sign such a treaty and personally asked me, as his representative, to vis the Colonial Office in London and the united States government at Washington to see whether either the United. States alone could not take upon Itself the duty of doing something to insure the sovereignty of Liberia and to encourage its internal development, or if the United States would not care to undertake that alone, then to see whether the United States and Great Britain would mutually agree to that end.

I have visited the Colonial Office in London though I do not care to state the result just now, and I ani going to Washington to lay the case befors the officials there in the hope chat something might be done. "At the same time the French have been trying to get control of Liberia and so there: is a severe competition between Germans and France. With Lifberia, France ha3 a certain treaty dating a few years back, it 1s by means of this that France is at wtnpting to force its claims upon Liberia, me details cf this peculiar treaty I canned give now but France is using it as a means of acquiring Liberia.

Puller Seeks to Get Eis Bill to the Governor Direct, WHALEN'S OFFICE OPPOSES. The Corporation Counsel Holds That the Measure Affects the City's Interests and Must First Be Submitted to the Head of the Municipality for His Consideration Before It Goes to the State Executive. Much to the surprise of the city authorities Randolph C. Fuller has secured the passage of the bill establishing his right to che office of Superintendent of Buildings and Repairs for the County of Kings, through both branches of the Legislature. Fuller believed that the charter did net abolish his office and when the Board of Estimate and Apportionment anet, he sent in his estimate covering expenses of his department.

The quick eye of the Mayor caught the name and office and he quickly put the estimate one side, saying he would look up Fuller at once, see who he was and what his duties were. In the meantime, he thought the Commissioner of Buildings, Lighting and Supplies could look after the duties of Mr. Fuller. Then Fuller. went to the Legislature with the bill which legalizes his official existence for two years to ccme, with salary at the rate of $5,000 per annum, and allowing him to supervise the purchase of all supplies for tne judges and other officials in the Court House and the Register's and County Clerk's offices.

When the term expires the county judge and the Commissioners of Record are allowed to appoint a successor for five years. The body thus named being Republican, of course uiier expects to be his own succes sor. The bill, though, passed, is now in a danger ous position so tar as its really successful issue is concerned. Thus far the pressure behind 'it is purely partiizan. Republicans willing to keep something for the party in the Ci'ty of New York have passed it.

But the lega'l aspect of the measure is: Can the Governor sign the measure if he is willing to, without subm'itOhng d't first to the Mayor, wlK would surely veto it? Those who are interested an tihe success of the measure say there is no d'oubt concerning the right of the Governor to act upon tfhe bill wlihouit Sts being sent to the Mayor; that under the provisions of the charter only those measures which affect the city come under the Mayor's supervision, and this being a bill affecting tihe Counlty Kings alone, goes diretetly to the Governor for 'his signature. Fuller went to Albany to day to see that there is no hitch ahout the bill going 'to the destination that he deems to be the proper one. A't the Corporation Counsel's office a very different view is taken of the bill. The opin ion there expressed is that the bill must.j come to tne Mayor to be acted upon by him. The consolidation of the counties of New York, Richmond, King and a portion of Queens In'to one city, according to the opinion of the Corporation Counsel, virtually abolishes the county government, and any legislation affecting this territory is by the very nature of things city legislation and mus't.

therefore, be submitted to the Mayor for his approval or disapproval, as the case may be. The Corporation Counsel intends to oppose action on the bill by the Governor prior "to the bill being considered by the Mayor. He deemB It of great Importance to the community, as It opens the door to legislation which may prove very damaging to 'the city's interests. While the present bill does not really amount to very much the principle involved Is deemed to be dangerous and will, therefore, be opposed. There Is a similar bill in the Legislature, which, it is expected, will be passed to day, allowing 'the two county judges, Aspinall and Hurd, to appoint a keeper ot the Hall ot Records on January 1, 1899, when the term of the present keeper expires.

This is also intended to keep a Republican in office, George N. Buchanan of the Twenty second Ward. Both men have consulted attorneys and they claim a perfect legal right to have the bills go directly to the Governor. CHARLES C. MACY SURRENDERS.

He Is Charged by "Lotta" With Converting Certain Stocks to His Own Use. Charles C. Macy of the defunct brokerage firm of Macy Pendleton of 45 Broadway, Manhattan, in company with his attorney, Charles H. Haigbit, appeared at the District Attorney's office this morning. Macy, against whom there are two indictments for grand larceny, surrendered himself.

The complainant against him is Miss Lotta Crabtree, the actress. Macy is charged with having collected $2,500 in rents for Mrs. Crabtree and falling to make return. He is also charged with having converted to his own use 200 shares of St. Paul and 100 shares of Manhattan, whose real value is $25,000 and apparent value $44,000.

Macy was taken before Judge Cowing, in Part I of General Sessions this morning and arraigned. Mr. Haight asked that Macy's bond be nominal. Assistant District Attorney O'Reilly asserted that it should be $10,000, in view of the magnitude of the charges! It was fixed at $10,000. Haight characterized the action as a gambling game, which Mrs.

When they arrived in Brooklyn they went to reside with Mrs. Shute's parents at the Belmont avenue address.

Shute was for a time employed as a salesman and collector for two breweries, but lost his position and for a long time did not do anything. About this time, it is alleged, he passed two worthless checks on George Glanzer, a grocer. The checks amounted to $45 and were tendered to liquidate a debt. Another alleged queer check was passed upon a druggist named Werner, also in East New York. short time ago a warrant was issued for Shute's arrest, but it has never been served, owing to the inability of the court officers to locate the roan.

It is said that he lives on Lafayette avenue, near Lewis, near his parents, but several inquiries at the house in which he is said to reside have not resulted in bringing to light a trace of him. The police are of the opinion that he has left the city. Mrs. snute aas not as yet made a complaint aBainst her husband for abandonment, but unless she hears from him in the near future is ukely that she will apply for a warrant, TEACHERS' TO GET THEIR PAY Although the Salaries of the Principals Will Be Held Up (Special to the Eagle.)
