His Shrieks of Horror Arouse PARTI' MEN TO BE APPOINTED GUNNING'S MARITAL WOES. Made Eevenue Collector in Pkca of Healy, Resigned. BLISTERED HIS WIFE'S FEET. Woods Used Fly plasters to Keep Her Home, but Failed. 'I nut blisters on her fot, judge, to keep her in tlie house, but even then she went out," said Joiin Woods, 40 years eld, of La le street, in the Lwxu street court, this morning, while appearing against his wife, Catherine, no charged with being an liaoitual drunkard.

Mrs. Woods win presont in court. made no refernec to the blisters on hr feet referred to by her iir.sbnnd and Justice Watson apparently did not catch the remark of the complainant, heboid tho nttniin in ir.OO bull for examination on nturdny without investigating that peculiar feature of the case. Woods was sent to tho House ot tlio Good Shephwrd three months ago. Slio was discharged inHt September.

Sinco iiru, her husband alleged, she has fallen into her old habits au ain. Justien Watson said ho hud received a letter from the Rev. John A. Fitzpatrick, pastor o. St.

Anthony's Catholic cbureh, stating that Mrs. Woodn was a refractory wife. Aftr tho examination Mr. Woods destribed how bo blistered his wile's feet to nn Eagle reporter. "I told my wi'c," lio suid, "that she would have to stay In the housw.

if she would not. stop drinking. I was willing to care for her in the house, but 1 didn't want her to be found intoxicated on the streets nnd cnitso me a good dnl more trouble than if she stayed at home. Sho insisted upon going out. i tried to have her stuy in by doing everything I could think of.

"Finally tho Idea of blistering her feet came into my had. I beard of it twe years age is being used to keep people bed 'when the doctor or their folks didn't want them to wain around. 1 bought a couple of lly plasters in a drug store Inst week. Wi.cn 1 returneu the store my wifo was lying on the bod, i slipped off her shorts and nnd put a plaster on each of her feet without arousing her. Twenty minutes later I removod the plasters.

The soles of hor feet wore covered with blisters. A few hours afterward she got up nnd walked around as usual anil then went out. Its impossible to keep that womna in the house. Mrs. Woods when spoken to in tho pea said she was sure ber feet bad nevor been blistered.

Sho said she had suffered no trtn and Bur prised to hear hor husband tell the judge that be had blisterod her foe! to keep her home. OFFICER BACON WAS SUP PRISED. FOUR O'CLOCK EDITION UNTIES BILL LAID ASIDE. Owens Failed to Move tbe Measure in tbe Senate. FEARED IT WOTJT.D BE KILLED.

the Friends of Worth Expected That a Vote Would Be Taken To day, as the Bill Was High on the Calendar At the Last Moment It Was Laid Over. Platbush Avenue Extension Bill Advanced. (Special to the Eagle.) Albany, N. April 17 The charities reorganization hill was on the senate third reading calendar this morning and Senator Ov. ens, who has It In charge, said he should call it up, but it was laid aside and he did not ruovo It.

There was a full senate, but for some reason Senator Owens seetr.ed to be afraid to trust the launching of the measure upon the troubled waters of a r.etiatcrlal debate, with the known hostility of a number of Kepub lican set to the mcatrure, and the uncertainty is to the amount of support would receive fiom the New York senators, there would seem to be plenty of reason for Senator Owens' caution in failing to move the bill. The friends of the measure were confident that if would be put up on its passage to day. Ex Senator Worth was in the senate ante room and there was much running to and fro between his temporary quarters and the floor of the senate. The bill was well up on the calendar, but it was permitted to be put aside without a suggestion from the senator from the Fourth and at last the senate resolved itself into a committee ot the whole and that killed the chancer of the bill for the present. The opponents of the bill are watching it carefully and It cannot be put through without a contest.

The bill for the relief of Justice William Watson, passed in the senate to day in spite Of Senator Reynolds' statement on the floor that It was an attempt on the part of the justice to secure the payment of his counsel fees, after he had ben censured by the Judges of the supreme court for the manner In which he tad discharged the duties of his Senator Reynolds characterised it as the most audacious bill that had ever been before the senate. He moved to strike out tho first section. The bill bore Senator Coffey's name and he said ho was not especially concerned whether tho motion prevailed or not. He thought that when an official had been compelled to defend himself and the eKort to remove him had failed that he should be reimbursed for his expenses for counsel. The motion to strike out the first seotloii failed and the ill was passed, many of the Democratic senators voting for it.

The bill Is permissible and not mandatory. Congressman Charles G. Bennett is in the city looking after the Interests of the bill for the eastern district bridge, which he hopes to have reported from the senate commerce and navigation committee this afternoon. This will bring tho bill up in both houses almost simultaneously and will expedite its passage. He has received assurances of favorable consideration from several members of the committee.

Wray's bill for the extension of Flatbush avenue to the bridge was reported favorably this morning from the assembly cities committee. It was considered in the committee yesterday afternoon and Assemblyman Mc Keown of the First district of Kings made a vigorous fight to have the bill held back for another hearing. The committee, be said had only given one hearing, and he the Importance of the proposed extension and Jts cost to the city warranted further tonsid oration on the bill. Wray, however, would not listen to any suggestion of further delay and demanded that the bill should be reported. As he Is a member of the cities committee he was able to exert considerable influence and get the bill out.

It will probably get through the assembly without much trouble to Its advocates, hut it may strike snag in the senate. Frank Schulz was anxious to report Palmer's bridge trustee bill, but he was opposed in the committee by Wray and Mc Keown of Kings and Pavey of New York. The result was that he agreed to let it lie over until the next meeting, on Thursday, but said that he should insist then that tho bill be reported. The bill, as first Introduced, was drawn to give Controller Palmer the control of the bridge finances, but that was too naked a grab and it wast modified by the introduction of an amendment changirg the appointment of trustees upon the lines of the now celebrated amendment to the eastern district bridge bill. It provided that the mayor and controller of each city should appoint two trustees and that the governor should appoint three trustees.

Why Assemblyman Schulz should be so anxious to have this bill reported and possibly passed in the assembly when there is not the slightest chanco for its becoming a law It is difficult to say. It is well known that Governor Morton is opposed to the principle of the bill and does not care to have anything to do with the appointment of bridge trustees. The bill is a desperate attempt to get control of the board of trustees the bridge and some of the patronage in tho interest of the Worth faction. The amendment tucked Into the eastern district bridge bill, which stirred up such an outburst of indignation on the part of the peple of that section of the city was an almost exact copy of the Palmer amendment and it was tho presence of the amendment in the bill under consideration that suggested a like scheme in the bill of last week. The New York pl partlsan police bill and the police reorganization bill were reported from the assembly cities committee.

The latter was reported in Its original form and without the amendment offered by Senator Reynolds and pa ssed in the senate yesterday. From the senate cities committee there was favorably reported Dr. Brush's bill relative to the appropriation made by the board of estimate for hospitals and dispensaries, and Senator Reynolds' bill permitting an appropriation of 5100.l00 for the repair of the city hall. The senate went through a long third reading calendar and passed the following local bills: Reynolds' North Fifteenth street Hewer bill. This is the measure which is favored by the city authorities in opposition to the bill introduced by Assemblyman Campbell ot the Seven tenth ward.

The difference ec elsts in the method of levying the assessments. The Campbell bill levies iL in the same maimer as the Knickerbocker avenue eewor assessment was levied. The city authorities object to this very seriously. The Campbell bill was paesed in the assembly. It may be that both bills will be passed and that It will then be left to the governor and Mayor Schleren to decide which bill is the better one.

Reynolds' bill repealing a portion of the reindexlng Jaw pertaining to the register's office. Also his bill permitting an appropriation of by the two cities for the completion of the bridge terminals. Friday's bill, authorizing tho board of estimate to ascertain and provide for settlement of claims agair.srt the Twenty ninth. Thirtieth and Thirty ilrst wards, which were contracted before their annexation to the city. Also his bill for the division of the water works of the old town of Gravesend from the sewer system and to provide for the completion of the sewers.

Brush's bill empowering the Phoenix Insurance company to reduce the number of its directors. Senator Reynolds' bill authorizing tho mayor to appoint commissioners to investigate city departments, with power to subpa na witnesses and send for books and papers, came up on the third reading calendar and was opposed by Senator Coffey, who said he thought the charter gave the mayor all the power necessary, through the commissioner of accounts and 'the corporation counsel, to make any examination that might bo considered Oia Vrln Lebig li Coal S4.23 Bcllvcrcd; Other crades $4. Kjti3EI Ioi ohlin, Ml Atlantic it. was for tho law. Senator Reynolds read the Eecion of the bill relative to the amended power.

of the mayor and stated that it had been drawn by tho corporation counsel because of tbe investigation which It was proposed 'early in the session should be made by a committee of the assembly. The charter did not give the mayor the power to summon witnesses or send for papers. Senator Coffey said that if the bill passed, it would mean a chain of investigations for the next six months for political effect. Ho did net think the bill was needed. If an investigation was needed in Brooklyn departments, let it be made iu the regular way by a committee of the lower house.

Senator Owens asked that the bill be iaid asid and Senator Reynolds consenting, the bill was thus disposed of for the present. Governor Morton this afternoon signed the two following Brooklyn bills: Mr. Friday's, providing that the town of Flatlands shall hereafter be known as the Thirty second ward of Brooklyn, and shall be governed as part of the city. Mr. Rockwell's bill to prohibit the burning cf solt coal within a radius of four miles of the Brooklyn city hall.

THEEE POLICE HEADS DROP. Drink Caused Two Dismissals Fate of Officer Tuohey. Three policomon were dismissed from the fores by Commissioner Welles as a result of yesterday's trials. Michael W. Tuohey of the Fulton I street station lost his shield for improper con duet toward pretty Mrs.

Joseph Harris of 63 Jliddacrh street. Mr. Harris, tho woman's husband, is now awaiting seutenee before Justice Walsh for au assault committed on the policeman in the station honse when his wife identified him as tho officer who bad insulted her. John Kally of tho Adams street station and John Harkins the Seventh precinct lost their heads because ol tbeir addiction to drink. Tho latter went to tho station house intoxicated and was found in a saloon twice ia ona day and asleep on post shortly afterward.

Thomas Keegan and Thomas Rhr.ti gnn of the Twenty first precinct, wno pounded each other with ciubs in tho station house were Jlued thirty days' pay each. the sentence being heavier, th commissioner said, beoauso tho men lied when they said the affair was a joke. STILL CHALLENGING TALESMEN. Inspector McLaughlin's Trial Continues Before Judge Barrett. The trial of Police Inspector William W.

McLaughlin was continued in New York today. The morning was spent in fencing between counsel over the availability of talesmen. Several were called and rejected for various reasons. John Kunkel of 251 West Seventy third street said that on one occasion a policeman called at his place of business on Dej street and demanded blackmail to permit a violation of the corporation ordinances. "Would that fact cause you to have any feeling against the defendant in this case?" he was asked.

"Yes, 1 think it would. I am prejudiced against him in a general way, and I would net. like to assume the responsibility ot acting as a juror." He was excused. At one point in the proceedings Judge Barrett interfered, declaring that the examination of the talesmen was being Improperly conducted. PATRICK MARKEY CONVICTED.

The Man Justice Harriman Discharged From Custody. In the court of sessions to day Patrick J. Markey was convicted by a jury of assault in the second degree for the shooting of Julius Kuene on January 13, 1895. Markey is the man who was discharged by Justice Har rlman when arraigned before him because Kuene was not in court to press the charge. This was in face of the fact that the wounded man was too severely injured to leave his bed, and a note from his attending physician was produced before the Justice to that effect at the time.

But the grand jury took up the matter and returned an indictment of assault in tbe first degree against Markey. At the time of the shooting Markey was intoxicated. He got into some disturbance and Kuene, who was his friend, put him on a car. It was then that he drew his revolver and fired two shots, which took effect la Kuene's body. The conviction followed the trial to day, after a deliberation by the jury of about half an hour.

"ARBITRARILY DENIED," Is the Way Judge Osborne Characterizes the Board's Action. To day Judge Osborne" of the city court decided that John Curran is entitled to a transfer of his saloon license from 39 Columbia street to 4S2 Hicks, which the board of excise refused. When Curran made his application it was refused on the ground that some of the residents protested and that the police considered there were saloons enough in the neighborhood. But a short time afterward one Bielmeler was given a transfer from SSI Palmetto street to 45G Hicks street in the same block and but 150 feet distant from 482. In his opinion Judge Osborne says that this action of the board "is so entirely inconsistent with a fair impartial exercise of discretion based on 'good or valid' reasons, and Is evidence of such discrimination in favor of Bielraeier's application as against that of the relator, that I am forced to the conclusion Vhat the application of the relator was 'ar titrarily and that the action of tho board of excise should be reversed." Charged Fraud in a Divorce.

On the application of Almet F. Jenks Jnstico Bartlett of tho supremo court to day grantod an order to show cause why the judgment of tho divorce nbsoluto recovered by Catharine Weidner against George Wcidner should not be set aside or modified. Tho decree was obtained by default. Then the husband moved to open on the ground of fraud. That was denied on the plaintiff stipulating to forego alimony.

Tho general term affirmed this ruling except as to the stipulation. British Advance on Chitral.

Edward Parr's Claims Urged on His Honor by a Committee of Influential Citizens of the Pirst "Ward Reform Democrats Believed to Have an Equal Chance George E. Moulton and John Gilbertson Talked Of. Mayor Schleren said something this morning which will please the politicians. He doesn't often do that sort of thing and his utterances to day wiil be tbe more kindly appreciated by them. His honor said that he regarded tho forthcoming appointments as commissioners of election as purely political and that he should representative Republicans and Democrats te the board.

A committee of First ward Kepubl ictus had called upon the mayor to present Edward M. Barr for of the places. The committee consisted of Tii. B. Willis, Alderman Cary, S.

llowlnud, S. Dike. Tunis G. Bergen, W. S.

Brewster and Thomas H. Wagstaff. They taid some nice things about Barr, who is secretary of tile anti Consolidation league, ami informed the mayor that he was the choice of the Ke puulicaus of the ward for the olllce oi' elections jmniissioner. The mayor replied: "I have known Mr. itarr for a number of years, Harr is bi: cf a hundred applicants for appointment." ills honor paused and then added, deliberately "1 wish to say to you, gentlemen, that I regard these appointments as strictly and purely political." Mr.

Willis, who had been surveying the ceiling, came down to the mayor and looked him over curiously. "1 shall appoint two Republicans," his honor Continued, "who will be Republicans, whose names will be n. sufficient guarantee to the people that they are Republicans." Mr. Willis looked amazed. "There will be no mugwumpism about them." Willis' face was a study.

"1 may say the same tiling as to the Demo pratlc appointees. Now, whether the lightning will strike Mr. Burr or not i cannot say at this time." That all. It was enough for the committee. They thanked Ills honor for the interview, including, probably, the frank statement as to his Intention, and withdrew, earnestly talking among themselves as they left the city hall.

It is generally believed that the mayor has made up his mind whom he appoint. He has nearly a hundred applications on his hands, and would put an end to the whole business at oueo were he permitted to do so. The law provides that he cannot make the appointments until May 1. Many politicians believe that ho will place new men in the board. Strong efforts have been made In behalf of President John Gilbertson, whose friends ap ar to be confident that he will be retained.

Mr. Gilbertson has had an interview with the mayor, and it is known that Mr. Schieren thinks well of him. Commissioner Cotton also has had many friends who have seen the mayor. Rumor has; it that the mayor's choice for one of the Republican appointments has fallen upon George K.

Moulton of the Thirteenth ward and that the reform Democratic organization will receive recognition. MIDNIGHT PIRE IN CINCINNATI. A Six Story Building Occupying Almost a Square, Destroyed.

ber of years. He was one of those who labored for the creation of tho Catholic Benevolent legioi. ol which he has been a loading member. For a numbr of consecutive terns he was elected president of Transfiguration Council ISO. 6.

Mr. Kelley was born Woodford county, Galwny, Ireland, just llity slx years ago to day. When six years old he was brought to this country by his parents to make their homo in Rochester, N. Y. Ho attended tho public schoolB in that city and alterward in Palmyra, N.

and In Frankiin, O. When ho was 14 years old his family moved to Cincinnati, 0. After tho death of his father In 1855 ho found work in various dry goods stores in Cincinnati where ho earned tho conlldunco and esteem of his employors. In I860 Mr. Kelly came to Brooklyn and entered tho manufacturing business with an uncle.

Eight months later, on September he married his present wife. On January 5, 1870, he organized tbe National Meter company. In which, sinco its organization, he has continuously held tho office of prosident. Uo was appointed a member of tho board of education by Mayor Low. Daring his econd term on tho board ho wits elocted Its vlco president.

Ho is director of tbe llerohanti' Alliance insurance company Sow York; tho Portsmouth and Suflolk Water company and the Nanesmound Water company. He is a member of the Oxford club and the Columbian and Amphion societies. He has a hnndsone reldenc at 247 Hancock street.

Alexander McKinny, tho ncting collector, said: "I cannot say that I am surprisod by the appointment, for it bad beea intimated to mo some time ago, that another man than mysolf would be named. I ant disappoiuted; oeeause good friends of mlao, K. M.

Shepard, Alexander K. Orr, Louis lientz aud other members oi reform organization, have exerted themsolves to sucuro my appointment to tho position. It is certainly discouraging to those employes who work earnestly nad fnithtully in the performance ol their duties, as I have donw, not to have such borvieo recognized. I came In hero at the solicitation of Mr. Healy, because I bad had four years' experience under Mr.

Black, during tno six months that I nave been on duty hero nave devoted myself to my official work to tho sne rillco of my own business. I have not visited my office five timo3 during that period, and have lost more tban my balnry hero would amount to. Since Mr. Henly's retirement I havo had very trying times and enn say without egotism that moro work has boen accompiUhed than ever was known before in this Through my efforts eight men have beon arrested for illicit distilling of liquor, thrse of whom pleaded guilty and tho othero wero held lor tho grand jury. In the last six months fourteen men have beeu arrested on this charge, wliilo during the six years bior Mr.

Healy ioolt eharge, there were only six arrests and one conviction. Wo have been working; here every day up to 10 o'clock at night, ami even up to midnignt on many days, and it is acknowledged at Washington that the of this office, as to tho amount ol work done Is second to none in the country. As I say, 1 haTo worked faithfully and had reason to be liovo that President Cleveland might change his mind. Tbe income tnx litis greatly lnereased the amount of worlt devolving upon this orllce. Wo havo handled here more than six thousand people two thousand on Monday alone, and when Sir.

Kelly takes control ho will llnd everything in good shape. 1 have had no talk with him as to the question of my remaining here. I attribute the failure of my friends to my appointment to tho work of political foes. The regular organization, I havo been told on good anthority, considered me too much of a reformer lor tbe place. Then again I think I am safe in saying tuat the liijuor dealers may have had some part in jcuring my detent.

I have heard it said that I was going too far In tno prosecution of illicit distillers. Tho little dispute with Mr. convinced me that this prosecution of wrung doers was distasteful to some people. There are to day three warrants out for people cbargod witti illicit distilling, whom the ottlcers say annot be found. These warrants aro two years old.
