Four attendants of the Manhattan State Hospital on Ward's Island, who were arrested by Police Captain Brown of the East One Hundred and Fourth street, Manhattan, station, on a warrant issued by Coroner Zuc ca. charging them with homicide in causing the death last Saturday of James McGuire, a paretic patient in the hospital, were brought before Coroner Zucca at 11:30 o'clcck this morning by Captain Brown and Detectives Boyle, Gray, Wilson and Callahan. The men are Thomas Sexton, 43 years of age; Patrick Ryan, 33 years of age; Daniel O'Connell, 30 years of age, and. Martin White, 30 years age. They were arraigned before the Coroner and committed to the Tombs to await the inquest which will be held next Monday.

Coroner's Physician Williams found that McGuire's body was shockingly maugled. Six ribs were broken and the body was covered with eontusi ns and bruises. A blow on the head Dr. Williams found caused a hemorrhage of the brain. According to the hospital authorities McGuire first attacked bis guards and then was In turn fought by the four men.

After the struggle washed his face and then sat down In his chair and died. McGuire's mother lives at 323 East Thirty fifth street, Manhattan. John McGuire said to day that his brother had had a sun stroke. He was discharged from the same hospital about nine months ago. He was at times excitable and nervous.

Liquor brought on his attacks. His mother belioves he was murdered. She said that when she last called at the hospital her son was rational and expected to be discharged in a few days. HELEN WAGNER'S DELUSIONS. Boys Pound Her Acting Strangely Around the Graves in Cypress Hills Cemetery.

A number of small boys yesterday afternoon observed a well dressed young woman acting queerly, walking between the graves in Cypress Hills Cemetery and wringing her hands. The boys who immediately started out in search of a policeman found Officers Patrick Perkins and Jeff Herbert of the Liberty avenue station patrolling Jamaica avenue and acquainted them with the facts. The young woman was pacing up and down between a row of graves when Perkins approached her. "What's the matter, my girl?" asked Perkins. "Mrs.

Nack has got my baby." replied the young woman without raising her head. "Won't you please get it for me." she continued, "I think she is somewhere here." The officer quickly perceived her mind was deranged when she changed the subject and asked: "Will you kindly tell me how many people were killed in the Windsor Hotel fire last night?" "Do you know." she concluded, "that br Robinson of Manhattan promised to meet me here." The policeman coaxed her to the gate on the pretext of taking her to her baby. After a little parleying he got her to board a trolley car and took her to the Liberty avenue station. She seemed to be quite rational when she was arraigned before Sergeant McCormick, and said that her name was Helen Wagner and that she lived with her uncle, Emil Martin, al 17 Ashford street. She was turned over to the care of Matron Cox.

Her uncle, who wa3 sent for, manifested much surprise when he arrived at the station house and was made acquainted with her condition. "She was always a hard working girl." said Martin, "and I cannot account for her behavior." When asked whether he thought she was In love Martin said she had always been particularly level headed and up to a short time ago earned her own living. The young woman had a good deal to say while with the matron, and left the impression that she, had some trouble with a lover. Over and over again she repeated: "Fall into the ocean from the deck of a vessel; fall from a roof and break your neck, hut never fall into love." At the request of Mr. Martin the girl was given into his charge.

PAY OF DETECTIVES. Brooklyn Police Officers Believe That It Is Legally Increased by the City Charter. The detective officers assigned to duty in the offices of Captain McCltisky in Manhattan and Captain Reynolds in Brooklyn have united in making a demand on the Police Commissioners for the pay of detective sergeants. They have retained a lawyer to attend to their interests and they intend to bring the matter into the courts if the Commissioners do not pay up. The detective officers are patrolmen assigned to plain clothes duty.

They are usually selected for their superior intelligence and there arc sixty four of them in Captain McClusky's division and twenty of them with Captain Reynolds iu Brooklyn. The oflicers have been receiving the pay of patrolmen, namely, $1,400. a year, whim they claim that while they are acting as detectives they are entitled to the salary of sergeants, which is at the rate of $2,000 per annum. Nearly all of the men have been doing duty since the consolidation and they claim that the charter of the greater city says that while serving as detective officers they shall be classed as sergeants and receive the I pay of sergeants. Of course, their grade is not Axed and they may.

the higher police offi I cials claim, be reduced to patrol duly at any time. But Ihe oflicers are further fortified legally in Iheir position by the White civil i service law. which, they claim, fixes their status as detective sergeants and makes it Impossible for the Police Commissioners to reduce them to patrolmen's duty again. They all have this section of the charter by i heart. It is seel ion 290 of the consolidation enactment and relates to the central office i bureau or detectives.

This is what the tie tective officers have been carefully memoriz ing: "The police board shall maintain a bureau i which shall be called the central bureau of I detectives, and shall select and appoint to perform detective duty therein as many patrol men as said board may. time to time, determine tn be necessary to make that bureau efficient. The patrolmen so selected and appointed shall be called detective sergeants and thall be assigned to duty in that bureau, and while performing that duty shall be vested with the same authority and be entitled to receive and be paid the same saiary as sergeants of police under this chapter: hut the police hoard may by or.ler reduce lo the grade of patrolman and transfer er.eh detective sergeants or any of them to perform patrol or other police duty, and when hi transferred they shall only be entitled to receive and be paid the same rate of compensation as ordinary patrolmen of Ihe police force under this chapter."

A peculiar coincidence is that about a week ago SBO worth of property was stolen from the same apartment, but was recovered yesterday, most of which was destroyed.

LAWYER INTERROGATES JUDGE. Motion to Vacate an Attachment Brings Up a Rather Interesting Legal Discussion. Motion to vacate an order of attachment granted, to Kate Anderson in her action against the Liberty Cycle Company of Bridgeport, to recover rent of premises on Bedford avenue, was made to day before Justice Lambert, in the Supreme Court, special term. Defendant's counsel made the point for the motion that the allegation in the com PLANET MILLS. plaint that the defendant is a foreign corporation was made on information and belief, without the source thereof being stated.

In opposition Lawyer John C. McGuire said that there was no denial in the moving papers that the defendant is a foreign corporation. The code provided, he said, that when an attachment was asked, and allegations were made on information and belief, it must be shown to the satisfaction of the court that situation was such as to Justify Ihe issuance of the warrant. In this case the allegation was outside the cause of action. If matter alleged on information and belief affected the ownership of the premises, or the tenancy, or the unpaid rent, then the sources such information and belief must be stated.

Justice Lambert asked counsel to suppose that he was moving against a resident, of the County of Kings for an attachment on the ground that he was about to leave the state defraud his creditors, could counsel allege that on information and belief without stating the source of information and belief? "In that case," Mr. McGuire answered. the gist ot the application is the intent li away. But. suppose the person in that case did not come into court and say 'I atn a resident and am not going Justice Lambert, after further argument, took the papers and reserved his decision.

The Brooklyn League's Proceedings Against the Council Go Over Blandy Won't Recognize Kelly. Lawyer L. Lafiln Kellogg, who by virtue ot the orders signed late yesterday afternoon by Justice Fitzgerald, holds the lash over fourteen Councilmen, was generously inclined today and decided to give them and their associates one more opportunity to vote for the Hall of Records bonds before showing them prison doors. The Council meets to morrow afternoon and Mr. Kellogg won't seek commitments agaLnst any of the recalcitrants until after this meeting.

This morning before Justice McAdam in Special Term, Mr. Kellogg conceded a point to the other eight men against whom he is proceeding for contempt. To day was the date set for the hearing, but Lawyer William J. Kelly, who represents most of the Councilmen, asked for an" adjournment of the case until a week from Thursday. Mr.

Kellogg agreed to an adjournment until Thursday, which is a day after the Council meeting. If the bonds are voted to morrow i mandamus proceedings and contempt case will be abandoned as regards these eight who were not served along with the others. Acting Mayor Guggenheimer declared this morning his belief that the $2,100,000 bond is sue will be voted to morrow. "We've got to pay the money sooner or later," said he, "and we may as well close up this chapter. It is not a very creditable one for the Council.

The Acting Mayor said he did not expect Mayor Van Wyck back to morrow, consequently he would not be able to vote for the bonds. He believed there would be enough votes without his, however, and 'that the entire issue would be authorized at last. With the orders signed yesterday by Justice Fitzgerald, jail stares fourteen Council men straight in the face if they refuse to vote for the Issue. Mr. Kellogg is now in.

a posi tion to get commitments for the asking and he will certainly take advantage of his posi tion if the Council continues defiant. There will be no more trifling on either side. The Councilmen have made Mr. Peiree fight for his money and the latter, through his counsel, now holds the whip hand securely. Mr.

Kellogg would prefer to get bis client's money for him to sending the Councilmen to jail, but he has announced with all seriousness his intention of sending them behind bars if he cannot get them to vote the money as directed by the Supreme Court. Case's of Six Councilmen Before Justice McAdam. 4 The application for a writ of mandamus to compel Councilmen B. J. Kodine, J.

F. O'Grady, David Van Xostrand, William J. Hyland, Stewart Brice and George B. Christ man to vot efor the bond issuj of $2, 100,000 for the new Hall of Records up before Justice McAdam in the Supreme Court this morning. It was adjourned until Thursday morning.

The six Councilmen named were all in court. Councilmen Eodlne and O'Grady were represented by Henry A. Gumbletson, Van Nostrand by Harrison S. Moore, Hyland by William J. Kelly, Brlce by J.

W. Gerard, and Christman by Michael D. Gross. Mr. Kelly said on behalf of Councilman Hyland that he had obtained an order to shnw cause why Mr.

Hyland should not have leave to come in and appear on the original writ of mandamus. The reason why he thought Mr. Hyland should be allowed to appear was that no aaa not been serveu viiai uje uriKintii ui der to show cause Issued by Justice Giegerich. Counsel said that he believed that it was not sufficient to serve that order only upon the president of the Council, but that every member of the Council should have been personally served with that order. He.

therefore, asked that the hearing of the motion for a writ of mandamus be postponed unil the day on which the motion with regard to Mr. Hyland should come up for argument. Larlin Kellogg, counsel for Peirce. said that the Corporation Counsel was the only person who could legally appear for the Council and that the gentlemen who appeared for the individual Councilmen had no standing in court. He said, however, that he had no objection to a postponement until Thursday morning in order to examine Into the point raised by Mr.

Kelly. Justice McAdam asked if the proceedings before him were not a continuation of the original proceeding and was informed by Mr. Kellogg that it was. He then adjourned the hearing until Thursday morning. Pu.rth.er Adjournment of Brooklyn League's Proceedings Against the Council.

At the request of the Corporation Counsel the proceeding of Henry W. Sherrill and others to compel the council to approve the issue of the Long island Water Supply Company bonds, wiiich was to have come up to day in special term, Part of the Supreme Court, has been further adjourned to August 15. Upon the original return day of the order to show cause, July 27, William J. Kelly attempted to appear as private counsel for four Councilmen. but upon the objection of the Corporation Counsel, Justice Fitzgerald refused to recognize him at thai time and the proceeding was adjourned to to day on the understanding that all replying affidavits or other papers should be served upon the attorney for the relators on or before August 4.

Old Austrian Denies Police Accusation and Declares That He Is an Artist.

PRISONER HELD ON SUSPICION. Local Detectives Believe That He Was the First Man Photographed Under Bertillon System. An Austrian, Joseph Schaeler, 65 years old, who Is said to have been the first man photographed in Mulberry street under the Bertillon system of criminal measurement, was a prisoner in the Adams street court this morning, charged with being a suspicious person. He was seen yesterday loitering in front of a dry goods store at the corner of Ninth street and Fifth avenue. Detective Officers Brady and McGrath, who were watching bim and who were familiar with his appearance, they claim, from the fact that his picture was in the local police gallery, say that they saw him fumbling under the lap robes in certain baby carriages that had been left on the sidewalks by the shoppers.

It is a favorite practice of petty thieves to do this, for frequently they discover that the shopper has left her purse under the baby carriage wrappings. Of course the purse, in such a case, is deftly abstracted. The oflicers watched the trembling old man for a while and then placed him under arrest. He had not succeeded in getting anything but for all that he was locked up on a charge of being a suspicious person. He gave his address as at 320 Bergen street, protested against being locked up and said that he was an honest cigarmaker out of work.

Unless there was a remarkable instance of mistaken identity the police were sure that they had Joseph Schaefer, the man whose picture is first in the Bertillon collection in the detectives' office in Mulberry street. There were other reasons to believe that the man was a crook, for a person who looked remarkably like him, who trembled just as he did, was arrested at Coney Island on the Fourth of July last for picking pockets. He was captured then by Detective Officers Gleason and McDonough of the central squad. There was no direct evidence against him then, however, and he was discharged. It is also alleged that the old man was locked up five years ago for burglary In this borough and two years later, when the Bertillon system of measurements was established In Manhattan he was again arrested in that place.

The front face and profile photographs and the measurements of the arms, chest, legs, ears and nose tally with those of the prisoner. Schaefer protested that he was not the man and while waiting in the cell in the Adams street court, protested to an reporter that he had been grossly maligned by police. He said that he was born in Eisen brod. Austria, sixty live years ago, and was tho son of a tailo; in that town. Like Sir David Wilkie, the well known British painter, he, developed, he says, a remarkable faculty for drawing in early life and drew dogs and cats and all sorts of animals that had come under his notice with a piece of charcoal on the flagging in front of the school house.

A caricature of the schoolmaster attracted the attention of Baron von Schlaeehter, a PoIlBh nobleman, who was living in Eisenbrod, and through his influence and cnoney, Schaefer declares he was sent to the Academy of Art in Vienna, studying for four years under Professor Feldmann. a well known artist of the brilliant Austrian capital. After the four years the Baron withdrew his patronage, probably because his protege did not develop, as had been expected, and Schaefer says that he was abandoned penniless in the city. He made up his mind then to emigrate to America and came here during the year of Lincoln's assassination. He tried to do portrait work here but failed.

There was no rush after his pictures and the commissions that he received did not pay hkn. For work that he had expected 100 florins in Austria he received but here. He drifted about in this country for a time and was on the verge starvation. Nobody after a while wanted his work, he said, and he finally became a cigar maker. He has abandoned art for the trade and he says that he has been working at the business almost ever since.

Schaefer referred the reporter to a Mr. Stachelbcrg. a cigar maker, on South Fifth street, Williamsburgh. who is not in Sketch Made by Schaefer to Prove He Was a Painter. any way related to other cigar makers of that name, and said that be had worked for Mr.

Stachelberg for several years. The prisoner drew, at the request of the reporter, a picture of one of the prisoners who were with him In the pen. From the result of this test, which is reprinted above, it is evident that the old man, if he ever made a living by printing portraits, Is sadly out ot practice. But there are points about the picture that show that he knows something of the technique of drawing and that he has sch iic idea of portrait work, for the sketch, unsatisfactory as it was, bore a strong resemblance to the subject. He had been forced to borrow a pair of spectacles from' a court officer for the purpose of making the sketch and that put him at a marked disadvantage.

The old man was held a charge of vagrancy pending a more minute investigation into his antecedents. He says that he was married to an American woman, but that his wife died eighteen years ago, leaving him childless. CANNOT STOP LAUGHING.

The jobbers of the horough, however, seem possessed with the idea that another attempt will be made to buck the trust in this com nunity and that the new company will have behind it some of the men who were fooled when the Metropolitan Tobacco Company was organized and Proprietor Duke again wiped out his opponents by buying them out right arid left and offering big premiums to those who were foremost in the scheme.

Since that time the manufacturers who did not manage to squeeze Into the new combination have been going it alone, advertising their brands as "Xot made by a trust," and putting new goods on the market to attract attention. To a certain extent they have succeeded ia keeping their old trade and la gaining a new foothold where the trust tried to crush them. It is believed and confidently asserted by tobacco men that behind Buchanan Lyall In the new company will be the Millers. Monday, and several other big concerns who will offer inducements to jobbers to trade In their goods and who will establish a big plant for the making of all goods that will be needed to compete with the old trust. One of the tobacco merchants of the city said to an Eagle reporter this morning that nothing in the way of an out and out fight would take place Tor some time and that there would be no threats made or challenges given, and to the public the situation would rnmnin practically as it was until a firm footing had been obtained for larger operations.

To morrow Is the Last Day on Which They Can Obtain the Right to1 Vote This Year. So many persons are making a rush to become citizens of the United States and get the privilege of voting against somebody in the coming elections that Judge Thomas ot the United States Court finds it impossible, with all his machinery of clerks and deputy clerks, to turn out citizens and voters as fast as the material arrives in the Federal Court room. Over two hundred patriotic citizens were manufactured yesterday and that record will be eclipsed to day, for at least four hundred foreigners with their first papers and certificates have presented themselves to take the final oath of allegiance and to answer all the bewildering questions that are ilred at them, first by the court clerk and then asked by the judge. Nearly all of these new citizens are Hebrews. To morrow is the last day in which an applicant for citizenship may get his papers in tim? to vote at the next.

election. Consequently there has been a deluge of applicants within the last several days, and tomorrow it is expected that tho court room will be jammed again with men anxious to get in at the last moment. 'Ihe federal department under United States Commissioner Richard P. Morle has issued over 2.SO0 final papers during the past year and by the close of the day to morrow the aumoer will no doubt have been increased to far above Commissioner Morle has been getting the entire business in the naturalization line Manhattan, Bronx, Staien Island, Long Island and, in fact, all the country adjacent to New York City. The courts everywhere, except in Brooklyn closed fourteen days ago, and then the tide of applicants from the other boroughs turned this way.

This morning, when the clerk opened for business, a long line, with nearly two hundred applicants, was in waiting in front of the door of the district court room. The applicants first had to run the gantlet of the clerks. They were questioned and sworn and their witnesses were and sworn until some of the admirers of the United States form of government locked as if they wished themselves back in the old country. Out of more than 200 applicants yesterday only four were turned down. The politicians are making lively efforts to corral the new citizens as fast as they leave the court building, and it was alleged that yesterday a man with a big roll of money led the freshly naturalized foreigners into a nearby saloon and there had them embrace the principles of one of tho political parties that thrive in the government to which the new men had just sworn allegiance.

Joseph Villeneauve, a carpenter, 32 yeaTs old, took a liKl ted torch yesterday afternoon near a gasoline tank of the submarine boat, Argonaut, which is lying at the Boston dry docks.

The tank had been leaking for several days past and Mr.

Lake, inventor of the boat, had warned t'c; tnachinl ts not to take a light into the hull lor fear of an explosion.
