OYER THE BRINK Was It a Brooklyn Woman's Suicide at Niagara? Further Particnlars of Yesterday's Awfnl Tragedy Tho Body Not Yet Recovered. Special to the Eagle. Buffalo, N.

Septombor 0. Tho woman who committed suicide at Niagara Falls yesterday morning is believed to havo beon the same who lodged tho night beforo at tho Spencer House in tho village Sho arrived about midnight aud registered as Mrs. Lawrence, Brooklyn, N. She left the hotel oarly in tho morning, after paying her bill, and walked down to Prospect Park, where she was seen about 8 o'clock. Sho is described as tall and slim, appaflbiitly 25 or HO years of ago, with rod hair and a rather sandy complexion.

She was well dressed in a gown of black or somo other vory dark fabric and woro a black hat with a small red feather. Sho carried a black parasol. Sho was seen to pass out of tho lower gate of the park and walk along toward tho Goat Island bridgo. Only a few feet Beparato tho walk from the bank of the river, which at that point is frightfully swift. A low railing skirts the walk.

A littlo distance from tho gate sho stepped over the railing and stood for a moment on tho bank looking down into the water. Somo ladios near by saw her all at once fling her parasol far out into the water and thou throw herself "in. The woman did not utter a sound, but the screams of thoso who had Been tho act drew a crowd to the water's edge. Tho woman could be seen floating only a few feet from the shore and swiftly approaching the edge of tho cataract, but it was impossible to render her any assistance. J.

McClay, who runs tho inclined railway, was among the first to roach Prospect Point, and ho saw the woman go over tho brink. She was floating on hor back, head first, her hands crossed on her breast and making not tho slightest effort to help herself. Her hat had fallen off and floated ahead of her. As she passed over she threw up her bauds and seemed to raise hor hoad. It could bo seen that she wore narrow toed shoes ami a striped underskirt.

Mr. McCloy signaled the steamboat Maid of the Mist, just then leaving the Americad dock, ami her captain ran the boat up in front of the American fall and shut off steam. In a moment or two ho saw an empty sleeve float past, and an instant later a body rose to the surface of the foam and, after flouting a very short distance, reached liiprc quiet water and sank out of sight before it could be reached. The body has not yet been recovered. At Brooklyn Toliea Headquarters there is no record of a missing woman, and tho efforts of Eagle reporters to identify the suicidu proved unavailing.

If this is hia intention it is a signal failure, for neither he nor the other three Brooklyn ites havo had any very important conferences with the powerful. Thoy havo boon around tho several bureaus of tho Treasury Department all the morning looking for chicken feed. They havo mado recommendations and asked for the appointments of about thirty men to small places, and, as far as can be learned, thoy are elated over nothing tangible. They havo told everybody the same old story about the Republicans of Brooklyn having their principles starved out of them, complained of tho number of Democrats still fattening.

They havo been eloquently, vigorously, but seemingly vainly tryine to convince the officials that the salvation of New York Stato this Fall dopenda on tho buccosb of thoir efforts for tho thirty small men. They wont bo far as to give ono official their confidential and, of course, candid opinion that tho Democracy would sweep tho State this year by 50,000, and that those littlo places had hotter bo filled right away, as after October thero would bo many additional Bopnblicans in the Stato for the Federal folks to provide with incomes.

DIEMER'S DEBTS Figure in a Case in the Supreme Court. Property Which Changed Hands Rapidly After a Judgment Against Its Owner Had Been Granted.

An action ponding before Judgo Bartlott in the Supreme Court Special Term to set aside certain deeds aud conveyances on the grounds of fraud presents some interesting features. Leopold Michael, a real estate dealer of Miserole street, and Henry Both, dry goods merchant, of Jo)i son avonuo, aro tho plaintiffs. Henry Diemer, who keeps a lager beer saloon in Hopkins street, and his brother iu law, a hotel keeper at Maspeth, L. I aro tho defendants. The evidence taken so far discloses that in October, 1880, Diemer owned livo vacant lots on Floyd street, between Marcy and Nostrand avenues, a house and lot on Park avenue and a lot on Ellery street, and made a contract with tho plaintiffs to sell them the Floyd street lots for $5,500, the trade to be closed on or before May 1.

On March 21 plaintiff tendered fulfillment of tho contract, but Diemer refused to carry out tho bargain. The property by this timo had greatly increased in value, owing, it was claimed, to the erection by the plaintiff of fifteen or twenty houses in the neighborhood. On tho day after tho plaintiffs made tender to carry out their part of the contract, Diemer sold hia property, including tho Floyd streot lots, to his brother in law, Picitzor, for Immediately upon Diemer's refusal to sell hia lots at the contracted price, $5,500, the plaintiffs, through their attorneys, Howard fc Grim, began au action against him in the Supreme Court for violation of contract. That suit was tried before Judge Cullon and a jury, and a verdict was rendered in favor of Michel Both for 2i000. Proceedings supplementary to execution discloses the fact that Diemer hud got rid of all his property.

It was shown that shortly after the conveyance to lteitzel he gavo a power of attorney to Diemer to look after the property, Iteitzer then conveyed the Ellery street property to Diemer's brother Charles and tho Floyd street lots to Diemer's nephews, tho Jacobs brothers. These couvej ances were made after suit had been commenced and the lis pendens filed and after Diemer and Iteitzer had been examined in supplementary proceedings. Diemer claims that tho $9,000 for which ho sold the property was used, $2,500 to settle a mortgage, $4,000 to square an old account with Iteitzer duo since 18G5. Tho note re deomed with this ho said, had been dostioyed, aud no book account had been kept of tho transaction. Ho received $2,500 in cash, which ho paid to his brother Charles in settlement of a debt, of which also no book accounts were in existence.

Diemer also mortgaged his saloon for $1,000, with which he paid a loan of $000 to Charles Jacobs, who also had kept no record of having made the advance. Whon Judge Bartlctt asked Diemer if he did not consider it a curious way of doing business to borrow such amounts without recording them aud to repay them without taking receipts, he said he thought it was all right. The plaintiff claim that all theso'transfcrs were mado to avoid the payment of the damages by Diemer for his breach of contract. The taking of evidence was resumed hufuva Judge Barllelt this morning. B.

F. Downing and J. T. Olwell, representing the defendants, deny any fraud and say the transactions were made in good faith. IX THE SOUP.

"Well," said tho justice, "wo don't want to hoar anything about cabbage soup. Come to tho point." "I'm a comin' to it, judge, if you'll hear me." "Well, how about this assault? What's the matter with your arm?" "Scalded wid do hot soup, judge, you soo dat's where de soup comes in.

"It's not do truf what she says, judge," impatiently exclaimed Mrs. Mather, whoso physiognomy bore evidence of rough treatment. "She emptied the hot cabbago soup over me and scalded me, judge." "The charge is that she struck you with her fiat," said the justice, "wo don't want any more of this cabbago soup." "Yes, but judgo, it began wid do soup. After she scalded me she and her cronio3 fell upon mo all togedder, hit me on do hoad, bunged my eye, split my lip and swelled my nose. Den they kicked me about tho street as if I was a football."

Plenty of Rejolciuff Over Countrnctor IBoover's Removal, There was a lot of reloicmg in Montagaa street this morning over the removal of Naval Constructor Hoover, who goes on September 14, to be replaced by Constructor W. L.

Mintonye, who was stationed at tho yard for a term np to fonr years ago, serving throughout tho period of Commodore Fillebrown's command and a small part of Admiral Chandler's. Secretary Whitney put Constructor Pook in his, place and after a time Hoover followed Pook. Tho rojoioing in Montaguo street is caused by an idea that this change is part of Secretary Traoy's programme to prevent Congressman Wallace and his friends from gobbling up tho biggest share of tho Yard patronage as it is claimed they have beon doing. Tho bulk of tho appointments are made in the Construction Department and tho representatives of the regular organization assert that Mr. Hooper has shown them loss consideration than the Congressman.

True or not, Hooper's head is off and the boys are rejoicing. Collector Erhardt yesterday superseded Deputy Collector Samuel Guthrie, of the Eastern District, who has had charge of tho Brooklyn warehouse division, by appointihg ex assemblyman Wilson Berryman, of Now York, in his Btead. This is tho place for which Mr. A. B.

Other deputy collectorships remain to be filled. Another Brooklyn man for whom the organization has captnrod an $8 per day place as Bpocial treasury agent is Mr. Charles F. Wilbur. This timo it isn't Piatt who gats credit for landing a man.

Mr. Wilbur was Senator Warner Miller's private secretarj This appears to bo tho first nibble of pie that Mr. Millor has had. Three F's aro involved in tho Sevonth Ward fuss Fuller, Fay and Farroll.

KILLING CATTLE Pieuro Pneumonia Attacks Imported Ayrsbires.

Millionaire Henry B. Hyde's Costly Herd Partly Deslroycd Fears That the Disease Will Overspread Suffolk County. Special to tho Eagle.) Bay Suoku, L. September 0. Pieuro pneumonia has attacked some of tho finest herds of imported cattle in this town, and a good many animals havo been quietly killed as means of preventing tho spread of the disease.

The hope that the malady can bo confuted to the stabloB where it has appeared will probably not be realized, because pieuro pneumonia is contagious and travels very fast, and once it fastens itself upon a herd goes straight on until all the animals aro extinct. Disinfection does not eradicate tho germs, hence the only safe method is to burn the building. The disease is peculiar to the bovine species. Professor Law has demonstrated that tho contagion can be carried from stable to stable in a person's clothes, and there is no knowing to what extent it may bocomo prevalent in Suffolk County. Some of the finest herds of cattle in this county aro owned by rich New York gentlemen having splendid Summer homes on the south side of the Island, drawing therefrom milk and butter for their town houses in the Winter season.

W. Bayard Cutting has expended $130,000 for a building to shelter his imported stock, which cost him $.10,000, and is prized almost beyond a money value. So far his cattle havo given no signs of lung trouble. Mr. Henry B.

Hyde, president of the Equitable Assurance Society, has a palaco and superb grounds, which are said to have cost upward of half a million of money. His dairy is quito as valuable as that of Mr. Cuctiug. His cows are of the famous Ayrshire stock and were imported at great expense. They have better care than iB bestowed by the poorer people upon themselves.

Nevertheless some of the cattle becamo infected with pieuro pneumonia ami had to bo killed. Other animals maintain their health now, but it is only a question of time whou they will becomo infected. Frank C. Lawrcnoo, had a herd of forty one Ayrshires which he prized highly. A few of tho animals began to fail and could hardly walk.

Mr. Lawrence thought that their foot had been injured by walking on broken glass, and Dr. Tice hurst, a local veterinarian, was asked to examiuo them. He found several cows suffering from advanced tuberculosis and several others showed traces of the diseaso in a mitd but progressive form. Dr.

Lueien T. Bell, of New York, was also called upon to diagnose the cause of the decline of tho cattle. lie agreed perfectly with Mr. Ticchurst and a cow was killed to make a practical test. The lungs were seen to bo diseased to such an extent that tho natural death of the animal was only a.

few days off. Nine afllicted cows were killed at once and thirty one are in quarantine, Put will not. be saved. Suffolk County was not included in the quarantine established by the United States Bure.ni of Animal Industry in Queens County and tho disease is probably traceable to tho bringing into Suffolk of cuttle from the diseased herds so plentiful in Queens. HE.VKV W.

DEAD. Another of the Olil Ttveed Gang Passes Aivay XitiM Morning. Henry W.Gonet died at :50 A. M. to duy at his residence, 100 West One Hundred and Twenty fourth street, New York, of cancer of tho throat.

The cause of the diseaso was stated to bo irritation of the tongue caused by the rough edge of a tooth, aggravated by continual smoking. Mr. Genet was Gl years old last February. He was ono of the men indicted at the time of tho celebrated Tweed ring exposure in 1871. He was charged with having 000 for work alleged to havo been performed on Harlem Bridge, Immediately upon the finding of the indictment, "Prince Hal," as ho was known to his brethren under the Tweed regime, was placed in the custody of tho sheriff.

A few days afterward, while the Jail officers behoved that ho had gono for a snort drive, ho succeeded in making his cscapo into Westchester County. Tho Bame day he boarded a Canada bound train, and later Bailed for PJurope. The solitude of such a life resulted in his determination to return to this country and face tho charges, after twelve years spent abroad, His counsel was the late William A. Beach, who defended him with unusual vigor and eloquence against the indictment. In the Fall of Mr.

Genet was convicted and sentenced to the" Penitentiary for six months, and in addition to a line of 5, 000. Genet paid tho fine in full and quietly served out his allotted sentence. When tho indictment was originally brought ho was Senator from his district. Notwithstanding this, he was re elected, and although urged by many of his friends to take his scat refrained from doing so. DID.VT THINK HE WAS AN OFFICER, Bat Hcnsic Kelly is Now Satisfied on That Point.

Bessie Kelly, a powerfully built Irish woman, residing at 7 Clermont avenue, was taken into custody by Court Officer Cadley this morning and arraigned beforo Justice Goetting in tho Gates Avenue Court, on a charge of assaulting Catharine Bronnan, of 14 Clermont avenue. Sho was as chipper as a lark while the magistrate read the complaint to her. "Who'd ever think be was au officer said tho prisoner, as sho glanced at Cadley. "You know it now, don't you 1" queried the Court. "Indeed and I do, was the response.

She was held for trial. TRIED TO SELL HIM HIS OWN PROI'BUTV. On Tuesday last three watch canes were stolen from tho shop window of Patrick Polrarch, t)l Macdougal street, New York. Yesterday Max Oston, of Greene street, came to the store and offered ono of tho cases for sale. Petrarch identified it as his property and caused Oston's arrest.

In the Jefferson Market Police Court this morning Oston said that the watch caso was given to him by a mail named Finnigan to sell. Ho was held in $300 bail for trial in tho 3pecial Sessions.

He Says Republican in Uio Department of City Works Was raid for Thirty seven and a Half Days' Work Done in August Judge Ynu Wyck as a Mission ary. The announcement that Px Hegister Hugh McLaughlin will be in Brooklyn to night or to morrow at the latest cheered the hearts of numerous discouraged place seekers to duy.

Weary Democrats who have been wearing holes in tho pavements in front of the Municipal Building, whilo Yainly waiting for appointments to places iti the Department of City Works, are in hopes that when the Boss returns lie will enter his protest against the appointment of llepublicans. The disappointed placo seekers claim to have unearthed another Republican in the Department of City Works. This morning a Democrat, who for a number of years has been very active in ward polities, said to an Eagle reporter: ''Kay, do you know we've found another Republican holding a soft placo under Commissioner "Well, what of it?" "What of it?" exclaimed the indignant Democratic ward worker. "If you were a good Democrat out of employment and looking for a placo you wouldn't ask that question. Look at the row of men standing on the sidewalk in front of the Municipal Building.

They arc all men with families and aro anxions to get work, no matter how hard it is. How do you suppose they felt when they heard that Charley Woods, an out and out Republican, has got a fi a day place as inspector over the men that are laying the electric light wires under ground?" Then, abruptly, "Do you know of any month that's got thirty seven and a half days in it?" "Do you inquired tho reporter diplomatically. "Well, I know thiB much, that on tho last monthly pay roll Woods signed ho received pay for thirty seven and one half days 1.10. Ho got more pay than the Democratic inspectors who signed tho same pay roll. Barney Mulholland, Lewis Lewis, Billy Carpenter and Charley Woods, all good Republicans, are drawing a day and Democrats are walking tho streets looking for work." Commissioner Adams, in replying a few nights ago toMr.

John McKoown's remonstrance against the appointments of Republicans, said that the people who, were, finding fault were "bloe lieads;" that they didn't understand the things they were talking nbonr. Mr. Adams did not say it was deemed necessary to appoint a few Republicans for thu purpose of making inroads into the camp of the enemy: but some of the ward leaders say privately that is the reason for giving Republicans places. When this fact is generally understood it is thought that Democrats will become reconciled to the policy of the leaders. In the meantime the Democratic peace missionaries will continue to emulate the example sot them by ex Register McLaughlin when ho welcomed "Corneel1 Fur gueson back to the party fold.

Judge Van Wyck last night did some fine missionary work. He presented to Warden Patrick Hayes, as spokesman for several of tho hitter's warm friends, a handsome and costly gold badge, ornamented with a four carnfc diamond. The judge paid a glowing tribute to Mr. Hayes' worth as a man and Democrat, which will doubtless go a great ways toward keeping Hie warden inline next Pall. And yet the Democrats who have always been "straight" think they aro entitled to consideration which liiey have not received.

When Mr. McLaughlin comes home their cases will probably be attended to. He is a great peacemaker when he wants to be. DID URAHA5I (JO OVER THE FALLS? Stenographer EUHjrfrcriy is Sure JEe Did N(. Buffalo, X.

September G. The 'vi'iini'i A'nos to day publishes a complete expose of Graham's alleged trip over the Falls last Sunday. The affair was shruuded in such mystery and bore such palpable evidence of fraud that the AVjo.s set out to prove it another of those sensational fakcs.of which Donovan's alleged leap from Suspension Bridgo and lumbal i's swim through the Whirlpool Rapids were the forerunners. The same, shroud of doubt and mystery enveloped those tearing fonts, but so carefully were the plans laid that no absolute proof could be obtained that they had not been, as was claimed, successfully accomplished. In (his latter essay of Graham's, however, the facts brought to light prove it to have been a clear case of fraud and an attempt to gain additional notoriety liv chicanery.

The expose in substance is as follows: Prank T. llaggerty, stenographer of the Surrogate's Court, thisc ty, states that, ho was fishing in the river near Lasalle last Saturday. At I.awdle he met Garret J. Staley, who said he was employed by.GralK'in to cut loose his barrel on the following morning and send him over the Palls in it. llaggerty proposed to Staley to accompany him and help him release the barrel.

Staley consented and Ihc tw i men went in a boat down to Pro pect Point, just above the Falls. Thore theymct a man whom llaggerty thinks was Devere, the theatrical manager, who said he was watching for tho barrel. We also met Constable Horn, llaggerty said, who was said to have taken Graham out of the barrel below the Falls. He also said he was watching for it. Horn and Statoy remained with me till after the hour at which it is claimed tho barrel, with Graham in it, went over the Palls.

We saw no barrel, nor did any go ovor the Pails up to that time. Statey was with me constantly until we returned to Lasalle. We did not leave the point till nonrly 7 o'clock. We did not see Graham at all. It was my belief that ho and the barrel were bi low the Falls and had never come up abovo them.

If he was found in the barrel below the Falls, he entered it down there and was pushed out in to the river." As Graham claims to have been sent over the fails at .1:4 5 o'clock Sunday morning the barrel must have passed Prospect Point before that hour and while the men were watching for it. That it did not do so and that Statey, who was to have cut it loose did not see it at all is pretty conclusive proof that the whole thing was a fake. Haggerty is a perfectly trustworthy gentleman and his statement can bo implicitly believed. HANDICAP TESMS TOURNAMENTS. Two More of Them in 5rojjrcNs at the Newport Casino.

I then for the first timi took up the matter personally, and as a mat tor of pride, at any rate, was doterminorji that the Legislature should Keverso its un. favorable verdict.

On the importunate suggestionof Mr. Tallniadg the latter provision was stricken out, and in that shape it passed the Legislature and the Governor refused to sign it, and it all had to be done over again and repassed in the shape it stood beforo Mr.

Tallmadge'H suggestion was embodied. Tho success of the bill was due primarily to the influ, once and efforts of Assemblyman Graham and. Senator Worth, and secondarily to the fact that as soon as I had personally presented to Assom I biymen AspimiU, Sporty, Cro. by, Ifusted and others of influence the facts of the situation and the justice of the bill, they all withdrew thoir opposition and assented to its passage, while both Sir.

T'aUniadge's lobbi' ing or because I was able to convince him that tho bill was just, Mr. lallmadge, no doul.it, spoke well of me in Albany, and told his friends in tho Legislature that the bill ought to pass, and frequently during the session, both personally and by letter, I conferred with hi about it with all the freedom which I thou our long aud intimate friendship warranted I have uo desire to belittle his influence, bu never dreamed he was doing it lor money.

Indeed, ou this point I am fully sati. lied to let Mr.

Talhnadgc stato it in his own way. He says: 'IIo did not repudiate my modest bill for services at Albany, but merely said that he was short of cash, and asked mo to call again, whioh I shall I had been proud of the fact that this bill, in regard to the salary of the Supervisor at Large, bad gone through solely on iti merit and without the expenditure of a single dollar, but I have had no desire to withhold from Mr. Tallmadgo tho pay for his favor, especially since he is willing that Ins favor shall be set before the public in that light, and I do not begrudge him the amount or more if he wants it.

Mr. Brinkerhoff was pleased to see Mr. Jonks, and noither'gontlemen made any allusion to tho interviow which an E.uile reporter had with Mr. Brinkerhoff yesterday. After Mr.

Jenks left the office tho Controller road his opinion. It is as follows: Law Department, BuooKLVtf, September 5, 1889. To the Hon. Aaron Brinkcriinlf, Contro'lrr: Sin Your communication of August 20, 18S9, requests my written opiniou as to whether you have the legal right to act in accordance with this resolution of tho Common Council, passed July 8, 1880: "Jirsottmt, That the Controller be and ho hereby is authorized and directed to transfor the sum of $2,500 from any unexpended balance to the account for contingencies, the said sum, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to bo used to defray tho exponses of tho special Coiumitteo on Gettysburg." The resolution, so far as it affects your inquiry, would read thus: "Ixesuhvd, That the Controller be and ho hereby is authorized and directed to transfer the sum of $2,500 from any unexpended balanco to the account for contingencies," and the roal question now up is whethor you have a legal right to act in accord with the resolution as stated in this form. I am of the opinion that you havo such legal right.

I havo heretofore determined similar questions in the same manner. Careful re examination convinces mo that my conclusion was correct. Very respectfully yours. Auiet F. Jenks, Corporation Counsel.

The Controller's face was a study as he read tho opinion. He readjusted his glasses, roroad tho opinion and expressed himself as follows: "That does not cover the point. Of courso I have the legal right to tako monoy from unexpended balances and transfer it totho contingency account. I havo done that before. But Mr.

Jenks says nothing about tho Gettysburg mattor, and as far as I can seo I am just whero I was beforo." Mr. Brinkerhoff 'a faco at this point was a study, and Booth, had he seen it, would have gained points for improving his Hamlet soliloquy. Ho shifted his skull cap, pnt down the opinion with a sigh and told tho reporters present that they might make a copy of it. Mr. Jenks thought his opinion sufficiently lucid and had nothing to say concerning it.

WESTERN WAYS Illustrated in a Suit Before Justice Petterson. Mr. mijrh Surprises His Rife AVilli tho Information That He Obtained a Divorce in an Illinois Court. A caso which throws into striking relief tho infamous divorco laws that prevail iu some of the Western States camo up before Justice Petterson this morning in the Adams street police court.

The complainant, Mrs. Julia Bligh, of 122 Summit street, charged Charles Bligh, of 012 Carroll street, with abandonment. The defendant was aVrestod yesterday, although tho warrant for his apprehension had been issued last January. Bligh disappeared about the time of its issuance and Court Officer Horan, to whom the instrument was given for execution, could learn nothing of his whereabouts until a few das ago. Then ho heard that Bligh was working as an extra man at one of the Wall street stores for tho United States weighers.

Tho defondant, who is a Itepub lican, is the possessor of a big pull, politically. He was an assistant United States weigher uudor President Arthur, but went out with the advent of President Cleveland. Somo time after he lost his position he abandoned his wife. Sho had him arraigned in court and he was ordered to pay her JO a week. He obeyed the order until last Fall, when he ignored it completely.

Mrs. Bligh waited until January beforo she applied for a warrant for his arrest. Bligh, when arraigned in court this morning, wore a handsome suit of black clothes. He is about 35 years old, has dark hair and a small mustache. Mrs.

Bligh is au exceedingly pretty young woman of about 2S. She was becomingly, attired in black and white. Her 5 year old daughter accompanied her. She has also two sons, who are at present in St. Monica's Home.

Mrs. Bligh's interests were looked after by Lawyer O'Neil, of the Charities Department. Bligh was defended by Lawyer Kurtb. The latter, iu behalf of his client, pleaded not guilty to the charge and asked for an adjournment. He said that there were a good many papers to be examined with which he had not yet familiarized himself.

But what took Mrs. Bligh, according to her story, by the greatest surprise, was his next statement that her husband had obtained a decree of divorce from her. He exhibited a paper which lie said was a certificate of the decree. The divorce had been obtained, ho went on, in the Illinois Supremo Court and proper notice had been served on Mrs. Bligh by mail.

The suit had beep brought during his client's absence from Brooklyn. Bligh, ho added, was willing to support tho two boys now in St. Monica's Homo, but did not consider tho girl his and did not admit that the plaintiff had any claim upon him, she being a divorced woman. An adjournment was granted until Friday. Mrs.

Bligh was somewhat excited over the do velopmonts in tho case. Sho strenuously denied that sho had been served with any notice of tho suit for divorce. Sho said that she was married to Bligh ton years ago in St. Stephen's Church, New York. She decluros that the deereo of divorce was obtained by fraud, that it cannot hold and that she is still Bligh's wife.

Lawyer O'Neil says that tho decree is ono that could be easily ripped in two. THE PUBLIC SCHOOL CARPENTERS. Union Iabor itteii Sny Tliey Aw Com pelled to Work Too r.ong. Mr. R.

Dominick. Hew She Harried When But Twenty three Years of Age a Man of SaTentyand tho, Estrangement Which Followed. A little more than ton years ago Frank Dominick, then more than 70 years old. lived in South Second street, between Fifth and Sixth streets, Eastern District. He was a widower, his wife having died not long before.

She was the mother of Joseph F. Knapp, who is.ono of tho wealthiest residents of that part of Brooklyn, ftnd who ia well known in business circles in New York, owing to his extensive interests. Mr. Dominick was well to do exceptionally so. His floors were covered with Axrhinsters and Wiltons, his walls were hung with tapestries, and costly furniture of antique mako filled his rooms.

A housekeeper took charge soon after his wife died, but he tired of that mode of life and decided on selling off all but family relics and becoming a hotel boarder. Among the articles that ho determined to dispose of was a piano, and the fact that ho wanted to sell it was advertised in the local newspapers. Among those who saw tho announcement was Miss Mary Marshal, who was then about 23 years old. She lived in South Second street, between Fourth and Fifth, one block below Mr. Dominick's house, with her parents.

Sho was engaged at the time to marry a young man named Lewis, who had given her a number of costly presents and who expected to make her his wtfe in a few months. Miss Marshall saw tho piano, tried it and liked it. Sho sang several songB while in tho house, which so pleased the aged owner of tho instrument that ho thought she would mako a good seobnd wifo for him. Tho idea grow on him and tho culmination was au offer of marriage whioh was not rejected. Thon the young lover, Lewis, was discarded.

He demanded that all that ho had given to Miss Marshall be returned to him. His list included money and household articles. She declined to give them back, saying that ho had given all of them to her for her own use. Ho sued for the articles or their valuo and the caso was set tled by Mi Dominick, it was always said. Tho marriage of Mr.

Dominick and Miss Marshall was celebrated by scores of ur invited gaests, consisting of children aB well as adults, who gathered in the street iu front of tho house. Thoy had drums, fifes, wash boilers, tin kettles and fireworks and paraded in front of tho house to tho din of accompaniments mentioned. Tho police found it necessary to disperse the crowd. Many claimed that young Lewis waa responsible for the demonstration, but he always denied it. Except as far as the husband and wife wero concerned the marriage was not ono that was acceptable to the two families.

Mr. and Mrs. Dominick cared littlo for that, although the estrangement of the lattor and all of the meinberB of her family was absolute while matters on her husband's side wore not much better. A couple of yearB ago tho pair moved to Hewes street, near Marcy avcuuo, and wero never visited by any member of the wife's family and seldom by any of tho husband's. About four months ago Mr.

Dominick was striekou down with illness. Sonile debility and a general breaking up, the physioiaus said it was. Dr. Creamer was first called and said the patient couldn't live two weeks. Ho did, though, and lingorod absolutely holplcss until a couplo of weeks ago, when he died.

His only nourishment had been port wine, of which he drank largo quantities. When ho died his wife was the only person in the house with him. Sho alono had nursed him through his illness. Sho made tho arrangements for tho funeral, during the day and at night had a colorod woman to keep her company. They were alone tn the big houso with the corpse.

Tho colored woman had a strong liking for wine and indulged it freely, so that finally on Saturday morning succeeding Mr. Dominick's decease she was visibly affected by it. Up to that time no one had called at the house but tho undertaker, ltolativos of tho doad man were telegraphed to, but the reply came, "All gone to Europe." On tho above mentioned Saturday evening a couplo of friends of tho widow called, but no ono else. The fuuoral was held on tho following Sunday, and on that day some of Mrs. Dominick's relatives appeared, together with a few friends and Joseph F.

Knapp, the stepson. The room in which the services wero held was profusely draped in mourning cloth and, in accordanoo with the Hign Episcopal practice, gas was kept bnrning throughout. In fact it was not turned off from tho timo of death until after the burial, and in the interim daylight was religiously kept out of the room in which the corpse lay. Mr. Dominick long ago retired from business and his widow is well provided for.

Sho moved last week to 185 Hoy ward street. RUNAWAY BOYS. The Jto Experience of Two Eastern Ttlutrict Lads. Mr. Charles Schmidt, of P2 Heyward street, a foreman in Appleton's book bindery at Kent avonuo and Hewes street, received a telegram yesterday afternoon that his son, Charley, a small sized lad at 1.1 ye.nv.and another boy of tho same age named Edward Gibbs, of 01 Heyward street, were detained at Police Headquarters in Phila delyhia as runaways.

Mr. Schmidt spoke to his neighbor, Mr. Gibbs and both wero rejoiced at hearing from their boys. Mr. Schmidt went on to Philadelphia and found the two lads iu charge of Detective Almen dinger.

The boys, it appears, when they reached the Quaker City depot as free riders without free passes were observed by tho detective, who questioned them closely.

Wilkins Thonsrlit He Was in Luck Turongrh the Absence of a Complainant, but His Honor Disagreeably Surprised Him. Herman Schmidt, the man who on Monday charged William Williins, of tho Mercantile Employment Agency, 30(3 Washington street, with having swindled him out of $3, failed to appear whou the case was called this morning by Justice Pettorson. Ho was very bitter against Wilkins on Wednesday, when the case was called a second timo. An adjournment was thon seemed until to day and the defendant was admitted to bail. Tho plaintiff's failure to appear to day is regarded only as a natural sequence of theBO oir cumstances.

But his joy was quickly turned to me whon Lawyer Carr, who appeared for the prosecution, asked for an adjournment, owing to the absonco of the plaintiff. Ho added that ho had been informed that Wilkins had visited tho court yesterday in search of Schmidt's address. too, have heard of that," interjected Justice Petterson, turning around and looking at Wilkins, and such work cannot be carried on here. If I were sure that you had arranged with the complainant not to appear hero I would hold you on a charge to that effect.

It is a criminal offense and if it could be proved to me that yon committed it you may be sure you would be made to suffer." "Your Honor seems to bo prejudiced in this matter," said Wilkins' counsel.

I don't want you to think that I know anything about this, your Honor."

"Then I wish I could hold you too," promptly and cheerily replied the Court. "If I am conducting a swindling business," went on the man, with a bow, "I want to be closed up," "You will be attended to if it becomes necessary," promised his Honor.

TANNER DENIES The Wide Spread Story of His Resignation. He Says There is Not a Word of Truth in tho Rnmor This Morning's Interview TVith Secretary Noble. WASiiiN'OTON', D. September G.

Last night the report that Commissioner of Pensions Tanner bad handed his resignation to the Secretary of the Interior was put in circulation. Although the original authority for it was a prominent official of tho Interior Department, the story was generally discredited. Statements concerning it wero contradictory. They are just as contradictory to day. However true or false this story may be, there is no doubt that the impression that there is to be a clv.fuge in the C'om niissionership is gaining.

It is known that Secretary Noblo before he went away for his vacation trip was much displeased with the record of affairs in the Pension Office as laid before him in the preliminary report of t'he commission appointed to investigate that office. Some of Tanner's friends say that the indorsement given to him by the Grand Army at Milwaukee was not as enthusiastic as they expected, and they believe that, if the stories which credit Secretary Noblo with a desire to be relieved of his Commissioner of Pensions are true, the time for decisivo action is near at hand. Commissioner Tanner was at the Interior Department yesterday, and had au interview with the Secretary. What the purport of it viva only ho two men know. It may have served as the foundation for the story that the Commissioner had offered his resignation.

Commissioner Tanner said this morning to a United Press reporter: "Thero is no truth whatever in that story that I have tendered my resignation to Secretary TASSEU'S lT.IEN'PS TO THE Special to the Eagle. Washington, D. September The story published in New York to day that Commissioner Tanner during a conversation with Secretary Noble yesterday afternoon had placed his resignation in that official's hands is absolutely without foundation. Tanner has not resigned, and will not under any consideration. During his talk with the Secretary of the Interior yesterday no reference was made by either party about any probable severance of their re lations.

Nevertheless the general impression here is daily growing stronger that Tanner's hold on tho Pension office is very slight and that the President will haul him over the coals at his first opportunity. Representative Sawyer, of tho Genesee, N. district, whoso Republicanism and friendship for the old soldier is of the most violent sort, was asked to day what be thought of tho Administration. After deliberation he took a long breath and replied: "A most respectable Administration throughout. An Administration of saints good Presby byterian saints, I understand that the Cabinet meetings business is interspersed with singing the Doxology and reading the Scriptures.

Then they turn around and make tho most outrageous appointments. But if they touch Tanner there will be to A GOLDEN WEDDING.

W'iM'f Wffim, WEMBEft 1880. WILL WE GET IT? Mr. Stranahan Talks of the Site for the World's Fair. Be Believes Thai Brooklyn "Wonld be Selected Were She Annexed to New York. Colonel Sinn's Yiews.

The letter from General Joiudan to the Committee on Site and Buildings of the "World's Pair, which was published in the Eaole on Wednesday, setting forth the reasons why the section of county south of Prospect Park offers the greatest advantages as tho best site for the fair in the immediate vicinity of New York, has earned a general revival of interest on the subject in Brooklyn. On all uides people aro talking about and (speculating on Brooklyn's chances of being the favored place. What Brooklyn' firHt citizen, the lion. J. S.

T. Stranahan, has to Ray on the possibilities of a site being selected within the boundaries of the city will undoubtedly be read with keen intercut. Mr. Stranahan ban Just returned from his favorite Rummer aboJe, which everybody in Brooklyn knotra is Saratoga. An Eacile reporter who called upon him at his home on Union street to day found the venerable geiitle man in excellent spirits and good health, r.

How do you look upon the idea of the East Side Bands being selected as tho site for the World's Fair, Mr. asked the reporter. "Such a thing is out of tho question," he replied. "Perhaps if we were annexed to New York there might be some reason for believing that Brooklyn would be favored with the great honor. As it is, however, I hardly think it probable." "Do you know of a better site than tho East Bide Lands?" "It seems to me that the East Side Lands are not bo well located nor calculated for such uses as the ground adjoining the Ocean Parkway and extending ofT toward Bay Kidgc.

This would be a more favorable site, in my opinion, than the East Side Lands. Tho boulevard is substantially on the edge of Prospect Park. It must be remembered that some of the buildings to be erected should of course bo built as permanent structures. I will say one thine which may or may not bo news to the Eaoi.k," continued Mr. Stranahan.

"That is, that there is an organization i Washington whose niovement I have been acquainted with for some two or three years, that has worked up quite an interestamimg the members of Congress on the subject of having the fair held in the City of Washington. This organization lias especially in view tho collection of all objects of interest that have been gathered in the Spanish Amen can States ami from the United Stales and Canada since the discovery of this country. It hopes to get an accumulation of objects of interest produced from the early discovery of this country nil the way down to the present time, the idea being that the United States Government should put up permanent buildings on its public grounds at Washington and the Government have forever the care of the grand museum, which would thus be organized and be of perpetual interest. The expense of lliese buildings it is thought the General Government could well afford to pay. which expenditure would run far into the millions." "Do you think that this organization will nppcal to Congress in favor of Washington in the face of New York's claim and its present preparation I do." "And do you think that Washington stands any chance of getting the fair 7" Well, it is a fact that already members of Congress have become interested in that idea of the great fair, and that includes ashington, of course.

As that would be a fair not local in its character or its advantages, ami being stripped of the ordinary commercial local benefits 1 think the members of Congress will more readily center jipon Washington than New York. 01' course you Understand that no undertaking of that kind can 1)0 a success without the indorsement and aid of tho General Government. As a New Yorker, however, I hope tho great city may have the benefit of the fair." Mr. Stranahan repeated his first remark that; in his opinion, if Brooklyn were annexed to New York she would stand a much better chance of Betting the fair. In reply to the remark that Garden City had been considered by the committee, Mr.

Strunahan simply si.id: "Garden City lias not railroad or water Colonel William E. Sinn, who has just returned from the Paris exposition, when asked for his opinion regarding the East Side Lands for the World's Pair site, said: "I don't know of a better place around New York, with the exception of Central Park, than the Kast Side Lands. A site for the World's Pair should be on elevated ground, and this is ono of the advantages of the East Side Lands. I don't believe in getting too far away from the city. The Paris exposition is not over fifteen minutes' eab vide from the heart of the city.

It is as much in the city as Prospect Park is in Brooklyn. We have not the facilities for travel, it is true, but we could soon get them. Brooklyn ought to have the fair. We can offer more desirable sites than New York. It would be a great thing from a business standpoint for Brooklyn.

About every other bnsimvs but the thesitt business would profit by it. You may smile, but it's a fact llmt the great attractions of the fair in the evenings Would be a serious drawback to the theaters. Now the best proof of this is in the present state Of the theaters in iV.ris. It fad that one half )f tht are elided and the other half are doing but I fair business. But I want it di tinelly nnder Btnod that as a citizen of Brooklyn would not to so narrow minded as to disprove the idea of this city's getting the fair on account of a prospect of poor business.

One of the. crest benefits Brooklyn would get from the fair would be the opportunities of making its beauties known to the world. There are some ialente 1 people on the influent who don't know much ab ut Brooklyn. Why, I had an intelligent gentleman ask me how far Brooklyn from New York. When I told him he remembered that tie re was a Brooklyn Bridge.

With the fair In re Would stand out prominently before lie whole world." NOT SECRETARY TRACVS A I'liiladelphin 'ijrinten tiic New Stool Wasiii.noton, I. September C.
