THE OTHER FACTION INDIGNANT. JUSTICE CTJLLEN'S DECISION. A RECREANT HUSBAND SAID TO BE LIVING IN BROOKLYN. Chief Clerk Short of the department of charities received; a few days ago, a letter from Frederick Gorst of 74 Neston street. County Road, Liverpool, dated August 23, in regard to his runaway wife, who, he says, living with another man in this city.

On February 15, of this year, Mr. Gorst writes, that his wife ran away from home with their four children. William John, Frederick Oscar, Leonard and Margot Elizabeth. At the same times William James Mercer disappeared, leaving behind a wife and six children who became public charges. Through the aid of police Mr.

Gorst tracked his wife to America, where, he says, she was met at Ellis island by Mercer and passed through under the name of Mrs. John Lowery. Writing to the superintendent of police of Brooklyn he discovered that the issued directing cieiaenment 01 mo vessel's officers and crew.

He was seen at the flat where his mother died, 307 St. Nicholas avenue, New "York. Young Mr. Bliss was at first reluctant to speak about his mother's death and when he did so his first statement was meant to clear any stain that might be upon her memory "I want to deny at the start," he said "that ray mother ever appeared upon the stage as an actress. She and I were the closest of friends and she made me her confidant.

Fourteenth and Fifteenth assembly districts of the Seventh senatorial district, consisting of the Fourteenth. Fifteenth. Sixteenth, and Seventeenth wards.

The mandamus was denied as asked for. but granted in a minor detail having to do with the certain description of the boundary of a triangle. The petitioners for whom lawyers Magner appeared are John H. Keppel and three other voters of the Fourteenth assembly district. The allegations were that the division as made was not done in conformity with the specific directions of the new constitution, in in I the manner in which his mother came to her strained circumstances.

In regard to the stanchions it was his opinion that the vessel was not supplied with enough of them originally, and after examining the docking plans he said that they did not show where the keel blocks should be placed, and as a matter of fact they were not generally placed under the frames of a ship.

After a discussion the faculty de elded to accede to the demand and the committee was notified that a female instructor would be employed. his friends claimed, their activity is made to count for nothing, because the regular book will not be used at the primaries for the olectlon of delegates to the different nominating conventions. The story they tell interesting as pointing out the'tactlcs tbat are being resorted to in tho wcrd to gain a temporary advantage in the conventions, and also as showing the brand of harmony tbat exists there. Joseph McGarry some days ago took the official roll book to Thomas F. Farrell, secretary of the general committee, the secretary, Mr.

Prost, being unable to carry it to Mr. Farrell himself. The book, with ethers, was handed to a clerk of the executive committee, so that last night, when the books were put under examination, it was found that there were two from 'the Seventh district of the Tenth ward. Nobody seemed to know how either book got there, or which was the correct official one, so on motion of Mr. Higginbotham a committee consisting of two others and himself was appointed 'to determine which book was official.

They retired for a few minutes and, without any investigation, decided that the book other than the secretary's was the official roll of the district. No hearing was had, the representatives of the factions in the district were not heard and when the news that the English use no bilge blocks and are careless about shoring. The witness was asked: 'Who would you consider responsible for the docking of the vessel if the captain supplied you with the docking plans and all new screws with which she has been fitted which were designed by the bureau of steam engineering. Chief Engineer Entwistle. in his report to the navy department, states that the vessel made 16.2 knots with 4S49 horse power.

Heretofore, with greatly increased horse power, she has not been able to make 16 knots. Another drawback is that her bottom is extremely foul, and it Is believed, under favorable conditions, she could do a great deal better. Orders were received this morning to put the Minnesota out of commission. She is at present stationed in the North river and is used as a receiving ship for naval apprentices. The apprentices will all be transferred to the receiving ship Vermont, whence they will be assigned to other ships.

The Minnesota will be towed around to the yard and the navy department will probably present her to the naval militia of some state, as is the custom with the old vessels that are useless to the navy.

At the West One Hundred and Twenty fifth street station. New York, this morning, Police Sergeant Wilson, who is acting captain in the absence of Captain Thompson, denied that Captain Thompson went away yesterday to pay a visit to Toms river, N. where the Bliss family once lived. "Captain Thompson," said the sergeant, "went to some place on Long Island to bring back his family, who have been there for the summer." Acting Inspector McCullagh said this morning that there whs no evidence in the hands of tho police that would indicate in the slightest degree tho guilt of Mr. Bliss, the uusbnnd.

He said that he knew Mr. Bliss for nearly fifteen other necessary information for the sale dock portion as between the assembly districts, and that is what they wanted the court to help them accomplish. Of course the question of politics entered into the matter, and Judge Cullen. in making his ruling, took occasion to mention that fact. Mr.Magner based his argument more particularly on the point that the Seventeenth ward north of Greeiipolut avenue was Democratic, while that portion to the south was Republican.

This southern portion of the ward adjoins the Fourteenth ward, which is likewise Democratic, by the intermediation of a swamp. The Democratic half of the Seventeenth has been joined to the whole of the Fourteenth ward to form one district. Mr. Magner said there were two plans by which the population In the districts could be made more equal. These plans were well known and familiar to the other side.

Corporation Counsel McDonald, who appeared in response with George F. Elliott, produced the affidavit of Charles B. Martin, a member of the last constitutional convention, and also clerk to the joint board at the time the apportionment was made. This document showed that after the first apportionment was made a writ of mandamus was granted, by which the boards were required to reconvene and reapportion the assembly districts in the Seventh senatorial district. This was done and as a result of the reapportionment that followed the populations of the districts were made thus: Thirteenth assembly district.

The action of Mr. Higginbotham and his friends is heartily condemned In political circles to day and it is very probable that the action taken last night will be reconsidered. Mr. Hennessy said: "We have practically conceded everything to the other faction in the interest of harmony in the party, but this substitution for the official roll of the district marks the end of patience. How can we proceed if we are not accorded fair play? Luckily we have a certified copy of the official roll.

We took the precaution to get them before the book went to the executive committee. If Mr. McGarry and Mr. Gray are permitted to continue in this way. the Tenth ward will not be carried by the Democrats next fall.

Judge Cullen remarked that this description was not explicit enough.

Mr. McDonald did not think the matter of any grpat importance, but Mr. Magner said it effected the residents of the Fourteenth as much as those of the Thirteenth district. "A little care at the outset may save a great deal of trouble later on." said Judge Cullen. "If that is the only trouble, your honor." replied Mr.

McDonald, "it is hardly sufficient to warrant the calling of the board together agin. Maps mve been made and such inconvenience may arise. The question is decided by the equality of numbers."
