F. Weeks. Inspector of Coal. LIGHTNING WENT ASTEAY A Heavy Trolley Current Turned Into Three Houses. It Crackled tho Tin Roof, Set tlie Cornice on Fire, Wrenched the Lead Water Pipes Open and Feared the Tenants A Cnrlons Accident at Atlantic Avenue and Smith Street.

The trolley wire developed another phase of its character this morning and incidentally turned out the fire department and frightened half to death the tenants of three buildings. The troublo occurred in Atlantic avenue a few minutes before 9 o'clock. Employes of the Atlantic Avenue Bailroad company were readjusting the snfety wires on Atlantic avenue between Hoyt street and Boerum place. These safety wires are stretched just above the wires which carry the current and which come In contact with tho leading wheel in the cars. They are to keep the other telephone, fire and police department wires from falling upon tho heavily charged trolley wire, and transmitting the current from that into places where it would be an unwelcome and a very dangeroit6 visitor.

On the northwest corner of Atlantic avenuo and Smith street stands a throe story brick building, occupied on the ground floor by George Schnorr, who keeps a grocery store. Tho upper floors are used ns dwelling apartments. In front of the grocery is an awning upon an iron frame supported by wooden posts. This iron frame, mado apparently of gns pipe, touches tho big black post that. with its mate across tne street, anchors the wire from which is hung the trolley wire.

At this point there is an exceptionally largo number of wires, the Smith and Jay street trolley line crossing the wires of tho Atlantic avenue railroad. Where the iron awning frame in front of Mr. Schnorr's grocery is" joined to the house it comes close to a tin leader extending from tho roof to the ground. The cornice through which this leader passes at the roof is of tin and the whole top of the building is covered with the same material. So, also, without Ji break, are the roofs of tho four buildings adjoining, 294, 296, 293 and 800.

Up through the roofs of 298 and 300 project a couplo of iron ventilators, descending into the underground cellar. About this ventilator in tne first floor and' in the base ment were the lend pipes which supplied the two buildings wltn water. It was about 8:15 o'clock when a clerk in Mr. Schnorr's employ, who happened to go to the sidewalk for an instant, had his attention attracted by a loud crackling noise at the top of the trolley polo. Glancing up he was horrified to see a shower of blue sparks flying in every direction from tho big iron post.

Then tho fire seemed to concentrate and shoot straight toward the awning frame. Being of wood there was no escape to tho ground through tho awning posts, nnd a moment later a sputtering at the corner of the roof under the tin cornices showed where the electricity was going. The wood work was on Are and, rushing to the nearest box, tho grocer's clerk turned In an alarm. At the instant the smoke circled from the tin coverod roof there were two reportsl Ike pistol shots on the houses 298 and 300 Atlantio avenuo and from tho open windows rolled a cloud of sulphurous smoke. From the lead pipes, which seemed to be perforated In a dozen places, tho water rushed in ns many steady streams.

Thoroughly frightened, the tenants of these two buildings rushed screaming to the street, whore thoy found tho people who lived over the grocery store. From the windows of tho buildings 294 and 296 popped tho heads of otner exoitea people wno naa beard the cry of lire ana nearu wnar tney aescriDoci as tne ex plosion of a revolver. Tho firemen, when they arrived and took in tho situation knocked to pieces tho tin leader in 292 and at once broke the roof connection between the trolley wires and the ground. A pail of water exiinguisnoa mo oiazo in tne cornice. Tho house 298 is owned by Antonio Kozaski nnd is occupiod by Carrie Olsen and her mothsr.

Tho damage in neither house will exceed $25. Tho house 300 Atlantic avenuo is owned and occupied bv Chris Harr. He showed a piece of led pipe, which had been melted out of shape by its brief contact with the olectricitv. Had the same current touched a human being it would undoubtedly have put an end to his existence. The police notified tho Atlantic Avenue Bailroad company and the jiiectric Jjignt company, whose wires were en dangered, and in a short time the murderous current was brought back to its proper lino of Business.

A few years ao I was an intens eufferer from Dyspepsia. I bad eevero pains in my' stomach appetito was very poor, and what little I did eat caused me each dffttreas that I COULD HARDLY LIE IN" BED at night or work through the day. I kept runniDR down in fleah and losing atreriRt h. Finally bought a bottlft: of HOOD'S SAUSAPARTLLA, and in a few days began' to feel good effects from it. "When I had taken two bottles I was all right again had a good appetito, and for years scarcely missed a meal.

My second ezperionce with HOOD'S ARS AP A RILL A was in tbe winter, when I was taken with severe headaches and felt badly all over. My appetite again i failed, and I began losing flesh until I weighsd only 152 ponnds, my regular weight being from ISO to 190. My family physio ian said I had MALARIAL FEVER and for three weefes I took his medicine, bnt It did not i help me, and I told him I thought HOOD'S SARSA I PARILLA would do me good. He told me to get a bottle as it probably would be of benefit. So it proved, I derived good from it, from the very first, and when I had taken three bottles I was fully restored to my usual health and strength, I now weigh 184: pounds.

Noble of Long Island City, while oscorting Miss Mamie McCoy of Astoria home from North Beach, was attacked by a gang of young ruffians about 9 o'clock last night. Noble fought his nssnllants off and returned to the big pavilion and resumed dancing.

A short time after as Noble left tho pavilion with Miss McCoy, thoy no sooner descended the steps into tho darkness than they mot with a volley of stones thrown by tho ruffians from ambush. Ono of the stones, an ugly looking missile, undoubtedly intended for Noble, struck Miss McCoy on the head, felling her unconscious to tho ground nnd cutting a deep scalp wound in the head from which tbo blood trickled. Miss McCoy was removed to the Astoria hospital whore Dr. Anderson sewed tho wound up with lour stitchos ard she was taken to her home. Noolo caused the arrest of two of tho gang.

Officer lleidy took the young ruffians into custody. They gave their names as Erail Blum and Edward Nagle, both of Stelnway. Soble, in the Long Island City police court to day, identified Blum as tho one who throw tho stone that hit Miss McCoy. Both prisoners when arrested had stones in their pockets.

MITCIIEI.r, ASD HALL IS A STREET FIGHT. Loxdos, May 31 Sporting people are talking about a severe fight, in earnest, between Charlie Mitchell, the noted pusilist and Jim Hall, who knocked out Frank Slavin at the National Sport ing club on Monday night.

It appears that Mitchell met and quarreled with Hall last night. near Pony Moore's resort, known as St. James" hall. The two pugilists tried to settle the quarrel with thoir fists, and Hall got decidedly the worst of the encounter. Hall was knocked down and had his head cut, and looked very much like a wreck.

The police who cam upon the scene succeeded in arresting Hall, whom they marched off in custody. His Injured head was dressed and bandaged, and he was detained as a prisoner. Mitchell escaped arrest. SHEVLIN AND BAEEETT Make a Journey to the Nation's Capital To Look After Certain Blatters or Patronage, They Are in Unrd Lack, for the President Has Gono Fishing The Order Regarding Letter Carriers' Hours of Labor. Special to the Eagle.

Washington, D. May 31 The Brooklyn statesmen who lmve been visiting Washington of late have certainly been playing in the worst sort of luck. First, on Monday Congressman John M. Clancy came over to find out what was to bo done with the appointmont of a new collector of internol revenue for Kings county. Having read in the Eagle that the oommission er of internal revenue and tho President hnd taken up tho examination of tho papers of some fifteen candidates scattered throughout the country, he felt it his duty as Mr.

McLaughlin's representative to come to the capital in the interest ef tho regularly indorsed candidate of the organization, but his mission was most unsatisfactory. It is true that he saw Secretary Carlisle, but that official informed him that he had nothing to do with the appointment of collectors of internal revenue nnd that all these matters were in the hands of the Preident. Mr. Cleveland Congressman Clancy did not see, and the commissioner of internal revenue being out of town he missed him also. Finding that he could learn nothing and get no satlsfnotion from anybody Congressman Clanoy packed his grip and returned home.

But the organization is evidently uneasy for last night. James Shevlln and Anthony Barrett put in an appearance, but thov wero almost as unfortunate as Mr. Clancy. They found the White House desorted and the President off fishing, so they were unablo to put in a word for Brooklyn's candidate for public printer nnd for the other Kings county applicants for office. In fact their trip so far has not resulted in much.

But they mean business and do not ox poct to loavo town until thoy have had their say and told their tale of woe. Alexander H. Doty, the Kings county Bepub licau, is stopping at tho same hotel with Shevlln and Burrett. The Brooklyn enrriers who ars kicking against tho order of tho post office department, which states that they shall be only allowed actual time spent in the delivery nnd collection of mails, can nt least console themselves with the fact that tho order Is of a general character, nnd is not made to apply particularly to them, fcr tho order of the Postmaster General is as follows "Tho unemployed intervals of timo consumed in awaiting tho arrival of dolayod mail trains, and botween the trips of letter carriers, cannot luwfully form the basis of an ovortimo claim against tho United States, and, therefore, such unemployed time must not be entered on tho daily trip reports or in the timo book. Carriers' duties must be made to conform to the necessities of the service and not tho service to tho convenience of the carriers." PRESIDENT CLEVELAND AT BUOADWATEft.

Republicans Who Will Transact the Party's Business. REORGANIZATION IS NOW FULLY COMPLETED.

Conventions Were Ileltl in Nearly AH the Wards of the City Last Eveulns nnd Ward Officers and Delegates Elected Fights Were Few, Irat In Some Places They AVcre Hotly Waged. Xen Who Compose the New Executive Committee The Naming of Ernst Nathan's Mnccesssr In the Internal Revenue Office Was Expiated This Week, lmt Some People Have Reason for Believing the Change Will Not Be srade Before the End of Next Month. As Colonel Morton of tho Twenty fifth ward tried to remark at the eloso of tho convention last evening, the biggest part of tho work incidental to Republican reorganization is over. Nearly every ward has returned its representatives to tho county committee, nnd in only a fow, as the Eaole predicted, were the ceremonies attended with a fight. In some plaoes tho combative tendency was so great as to make tho election of a ticket an utter impossibility.

Some of tho conventions did not meet at all, others met nnd adjourned for biggor crowds or a date that was not a legal holiday. Tho machine, however, is in tho hands of tho reorgan izationists and the new county committee, which is to replace the general committee, will be made up as follows: First ward, Theodoro B.

Sharkey, Mr. Hunt, with Matthews of Flatlands and Ryan of Flatbush. There wero some interesting scenes at a low of the conventions of last night, which are re ported in another column. The ticketB of wnru officers that were elected were in nearly every case the same that were nominated at the primaries held a short time ago. In the Twenty third ward, Dr.

Edward Coombs, ono of the most rabid reorganlzatlonists in Kings county, was made president of the ward committee, to succeed Adam H. Leacn, who, although ne nas affiliated in the past with the Nathan element, declares himself to bo a firm friend of reorganization. He doflned his position InBt night in acting as temporary chairman of tho convention, and has made many friends by his frank and friendly utterances. Within a week the county committee will get together, and lator the exocutive committee, and then reorganiza tion will De on a solid looting and in working order. Although it is expected that Ernst Nathan's successor will be appointed this week, thero prevails to aay a belief in a Democratic quarter that he may continuo in office for another month.

This is the busiest time of the year for the collector of internal revenue. In Juno the revenue licenses of 8,200 liquor saloons, fifty breweries, hundreds of peddlers and cigar manufacturers are renewed and over 250,000 are taken in at tho internal revenue office. The work would be a gigantic ono for a new man and is generally loft to be porformod by the party in office. Instance, when Nathan was as much as appointed he asked that tho appointment be held over, so that Collector Black could transact the heavy business. On this the belief comes up that his successor, whoever he may be, will allow the work, if possible, to be performed by the present collector.

SO TIS FACTORY STRIKE. All SUcIder Co. Did Was to Discharge it Drunken itlau. The story that the employes at Sheider Ca's tin factory, North Third street, aro out on strike is without the slightest foundation. On Friday last William Barrett, an engineer, was arrested for being intoxicated and when he endeavored to go to work next day he was informed that his services were no longer required.

Barrett endoavored to organize a strike, but only succeeded In getting two Italians to go with him. The same day ho is said to have made threats against Mr. Sholder and yesterday. In the Leo avonuo police court, Justice Goetting held him for examination. Captain Snort of the Fifth precinct said this morning that there is no strike and no policemen are on duty at the place.

On Saturday an officer was there for fifteen minutes, but ail he did was to warn Barrett and his companions to keep clear of the place. JUDGE CLEMENT WA5TS MOKE TESTIMONY.

Testimony In Which It Was Hnrsl to Tell Where Fiction Left Off and Fact Began Undervaluations That Cost a Firm of" Importers $20,000 In Penalties and Advanced Duties A Conflict of Veracity Between Appraiser Cooper and a Subordinate Confessions That Seemed to Indicate an Affluence of Innncence and Lamblike Confidence Among Custom House Men.

AH the Commissioners Present at To ilay's Session A Promise of Startling Developments When Other Witnesses Are Called. The custom houso investigation commission held its second open session to day in the barge office, New York. All tho commissioners, Messrs. Fairchild, Magone, Dunn nnd MaoFnr lane, wero present. Tho investigation was continued on tho lines begun on Monday an examination of witnesses in rogard to the charges mado against tho appraisers' department by the Dry Goods Chronicle.

Tho witness to day was Marshall J. Corbett, an nssistant appraiser. Appraiser Cooper, the only other witness heretofore examined, testified on Monday that ho had suspendod Examiner Wiswall booauso tho latter had in passing goods, discriminated in favor of J. R. Simon importers of Japanese goods.

Simon Co. had to pay $20,000 in penalties and advancu in duties. Assistant Appraiser Corbett was next in authority abovo Wiswall. After Wiswall passed importations as examiner, Corbett, as assistant appraiser, approved Wiswall's valuations or chnnged them. It was through Corbett's reports that Appraiser Cooper suspendod Wiswall.

Mr. Corbett testified this morning that ho had been In the customs service fifteen years. He has boon an nssistant appraiser for four years. He first suspected iswall of undorvnluing J. R.

Simon A importations, in May, W91. What aroused his suspicions was that Wiswall came to him nnd tried to explain the low valuations of Simon goods by saying the goods were damaged. Witness saw tho goods and considered that the statement that they wero damaged was not so. He ordered the goods back lor examination. They wero found to be not damaged.

Commissioner MacFarlano questioned tne witness in regard to tho source of the 2ry (roods Chronicle's information. Mr. MacFnr lane took up tho letter which Appraiser Cooper sent on Juno 20 to Washington regarding Wiswall Witness said he had given a copy of it to one Charles Rosenblatt, representing the Dry Goods Chronicle. Witness got a copy of tho letter from Mr. Bassett, Appraiser Cooper's clerk.

Witness gave tho reporter other information and copies of other letters. Mr. Cooper did not know how the Dry Goods Chronicle got its information. Mr. MacFarlane read a report of an investigation held by Appraiser Cooper in regard to that matter.

In an affidavit, supposed to be signed by Corbett, no denied all knowledge of the source of the Chronicle's information. Mr. Macfarlane read tho question: "Do you know anything of the source of tho Dry Goods Vhromcte lnlormatlonr and the answor: "1 do not." Mr. Corbett said ho had not answered the question in that way. Ho said that he had answered it: "I can't say I do not," and that Cooper had replied: "Then of course you do not.

Witness denied that ho was sworn before Appraiser Cooper's investigation. "Then if Mr Cooper made a report to Washington in which he Baid the evidence in his investigation wns sworn, Mr. Cooper's report was erroneous?" asked Mr, Mao Farlane. "I suppose it was." Witness then admitted that he had confessed to Mr. Cooper that it was he who gava out tho information.

Mr. Cooper testified on Monday that he had no knowledge of how the correspondence in the JJry Gooils Chronicle was made public. Mr. MacFarland produced a statement signed by witness, in which witness said he knew of no one connected with tho l)ry Goods Chronicle who had any access to the correspondence between Cooper and the Washington authorities. Witness said ho thought this was correct because he had got bacji from Rosenblatt the copies of tho letters.

Ho got thorn back at Appraiser Cooper's suggestion, in order that he might make tho statement for Cooper to send to Washington. Witness' answers made a grent sensation. When he said that he did not expect that the reporter would publish the information he had given him, a laugh went around. Witness denied that he had seen the proofs of the Chronicle's articles before thoy wore pub nsneu. Mr.

Edgar Johnson of Hoadlay, Lnuterbach jonnson asitoa tne permission oi tne coramis sion to represent J. R. Simon and to have the privilege of cross examining witnesses, Ho said Simon Co. courtod tho fullest investi gation. Mr.

Fairchild refused to allow cross examina tion, but said ho would allow Mr. Johnson to suggest questions for the commission to put. Mr. Johnson said he wanted a chance to ques tion Mr. Coonor.

wo will have Appraiser Cooper with us several times before we get through," replied Mr. Fairchild. Mr. MeFarlano then continued hia racking examination of witness Corbett, who was very uneasy and seemed to want to get away. Witness said ho consulted with other firms in the same business in regard to the valuation on Simon invoices.

Isaacs Bro. and tho Japanese Fan company, he said, were importers chiefly of Japanese curios, and wero not largo silk importers like Simon Co. and Rosenthal. Ho never heard anything about Simon 4 Co. driving Mason Co.

or other firms out of the business. Witness corroborated Cooper's evidence in regard to the advancement of Wiswall's appraisement of four invoices of Simon Co. in tho spring of 1891. The advance was made by witness on export evidence. Simon invoices for a year back were then examined.

Witness said he found that Wiswall had taken advantage of his (witness' absence in Europe in the fall of 1890 to put very low appraisements on Simon fc goods and that as soon as witness came back Wiswall advanced Simon's valuations. Some of witness' advances on Wiswall's valuations wero roversod by General Appraiser Lunt. Mr. MacFarlano read from a letter of Appraiser Cooper to tho department at Washington, quoting Corbett in regard to this as follows: "I think tho general appraiser acted conscientiously, but ho was misled by the Ira porter and Wiswall, who mado miscalculations and misrepresentations. Witness said ho could not remember saying that to Mr.

Cooper. said Mr. Macfarlane. 'Whether you said it or not, was it true?" "Yes." was tho answer. "That Is a vory serious statoment." remarked Mr.

Magone. "Now in what way was he misled and how do you know it?" "I don't know that ho was misled. I only say that he may nave been," was witness' answer after some thought.

While Apparently Competing With the Other Corporations the Traction Company Will In Reality Help Them Along Secretary Bojrar dus Snys here is No Objection to tiie New Lines. The potition of the Broadway Railroad company to tho board of aldermen for franchises to extend its railroad system thraugh a score of new streets, and over other railroad companies' lines, is just what might have been expected by any ono who has followed at all carefully the history of surface railroads, as given during the last year in the Eagle.

The application is merely another step in the comprehensive railroad scheme which is being carried out by tho syndicate of which Ilollins fc Co. Is the head and which contemplates as an ultimato ro sult tho consolidation under one financial head of all of the important railroads in Brooklyn and the oouniy owns. The application of the Broadway railroad, which Was recently sold by Droxel, Morgan Co. to representatives of the Long Island Traction company, asks for streets which, while apparently intended to compete with tho Brooklyn City and other railroad companies, will, in reality, prove of great benefit to them by relieving congested districts and acting as feeders to already established lines. Of course, if tho railroad was not owned by tho people in tho Traction company there would bo opposition to it As it is, the chances are it will bo given a speedy hearing by the uoaru oi aldermen.

A iiontaguo street railroad man, in roferring to that very point, said: "Tho application of the Broadway railroad is, with the exception of a few streets in South and Central Brooklyn, identical with that which was mado last fall when Drexel, Morgan Co. owned the railroad. At that time the Traction company people had not succeeded in getting their hands upon the Broadway railroad, and for some reason the application was roferred to the raiiroad committee of the common council and not heard of again. There was, it seems to me, odposI tion from some source brought to boar, which kept tho committeo from reporting. I believe now, that tho Traction company owns it, the hearing will not belong delayed." Secretary W.

A. II. Bogardus of the Brooklyn City railroad said this morning: "I leave all ol tho railroad franchise matters to Mr. Lewis, yind he is now away. So far, however, as I have looked over the application, I do not think the Brooklyn City railroad has any reason to object to the applications.

If wo are paid sufficient rental by the Broadway railroad, I can see no objection to permitting Its cars to be operated over our lines," The two streets that have been applied for by tho Broadway railroad which will with scarcely a doubt excite tho most comment are Livingston 6treet, from Flatbush avenue to Clinton street and Clinton street, from Fulton to Union. They were not included In the original application made last fall. The curs of the Broadway road, if the franchises are given, will he operatod through Gates avenue to Fulton street to Hanson place, through Hanson place to Flatbush avenue, to Livingston street, to Clinton street, to street, to the Brooklyn bridge. By a mutual arrangement it will be easy for the cars of the Brooklyn City railroad to run some of its cars over the Livingston street route, so as to relieve the congestion of travel on Fulton street. The Clinton street route will bo fought tooth and nail by the majority of tho property owners, although it is not likely, so a railroad man this morning said, that their efforts will meet with success, for the reason that tho consents of owners of property valued at more than one half of tho total assessment of tho property abutting on the street is what is necessary and not a majority of the owners of property.

In this caso more than half of the property in valuation is owned by a few men who are friendly toward the Long Island Traction company's schemes. Tho company also applies for Greene avenue, from the city lino to Fulton street. This street was ap Rlied for by the Brooklyn City railroad and re ised by the common council because of the opposition. P. H.

Flynn said to an Eagle reporter: "Tho application is an extensive one. It takes in some streets which I meant to ask for and some others I wish I had thought of asking for. I have no doubt it will prove a good thing in many ways for the city, as all railroad building undoubtedly will, and" tho public would admit that fact nlso if it would look forward a few years instead of thinking always about tho present." EDWIN BOOTH RALLYING. Dr. St.

Clair Smith 'Chillies Tliere it an Improrcraciir There was a slight improvement in the condi tion of Edwin Booth to day. Dr. St. Clair Smith said his pntient was steadily recovering from the relap3o of Saturday. He refusod to hazard a guess as to when Mr.
