WEDNESDAT ETEKISG, FEBRUARY 8, 1888. Klobard H. Parker, of Syracuse, 8fnl S. Dlokerman, of Albany, grand treasurer Christopher a. Fox, grand secretary Rev.

Ohioaoo, Fob. 8. Smallpox showed a falling off yesterday. There were ouly sir oases and two doatha. Is the fault of the medtosl superintendent and tha oommiesloner in lunacy.

In this county and New York ft lunatlo can only be dleoharged by the medical superintendent of the asylum on his filing a certificate that auch dltaharga ufo and proper. In all the othir counties of the State) a lunatic can be discharged only by an order of a county Judge or a Justice ot the Su preme Court' It Is the duty of the State commissioner to examine the roeord of each case kept by the medical superintendent of the asylum to ascertain whether tha peason is a proper subject for eonflnemeat. It Is a misdemeanor for a medical superintendent to fall to make entrloa of the condition of the patient and aleo for him to make talae entries. It la understood that Mr. Justice Olibert is reaolvod to have thla case thoroughly investigated.

It ia not denied that Richmond was robbed of hia money and watch by the olerk of the hospital, aad It would seem aa though thla detention when discharged, and his re aduisaton by the sole authority of the olerk to the hospital, and his snbaequont removal by force to the lunatlo asylum, were for the purpose of covering up tho theft and preventing the thief's being made to disgorge It is admitted that this earns clerk waa dlsoharged tor similar nefarious aeta. It is known that a man waa seat to the Institution by Dr. Norria, when a commissioner of ohsrllles, and thia clerk out apoeketbook containing $400 out of the mau'a pooket aa'd appropriated the plunder. With respect to the treatment of patients ia the asylum at Flatbush, It may be stated that within a month Mr. Snlllvapj at the time oounsel for the ootnmisslon of oharlties, oausol the proieoutlon ot two nurses or attendants at tha asylum for cruolty and brutality to the patients.

Tho case waa beard at Flatbush, before Justioe Pigott who dlosbarged the aoeueed persons. AN EXPLANATION FBOM DO. WOODBIDB. Dr. Woodslde, medleal superintendent of the Hospital for Inourablos but formerly assistant in the Lunatlo Asylum, whose testimony In this cane was reported in Sunday's lsaue, felt himself reflected on by the report owing to the manner of the examination in court, and stated to a reporter of the Eaolb to day that he desired to correct the impression it was likely to convey.

Ha sold "The ohlof point I whined to correct was that In whloh my reason for believing the men Insane was given. It was represented that I waa aaked on what ground I considered him ineane. They eay I saw him on one occasion aud askod him If ho hsd a aoul, and he represented thot ho thought It was lost What I said was, that this man represented that his aoul was damned forsyor, and that nothing ho oould do would over seonre his salvation, or alter the matter in the least That ta a eommon dolusion among peraons Buffering from religious melancholia, his dlaeaac It was etated truly that I did not see tbo man whoa he oame Into tho asylum, nor for months afterward but I supposed the certificates were porlectly regular. The certificates produced at "the asylum were indorsed by Judge MoCue, of the City Court, showing that the commitment was regnlar. But on my cross examination In court I waa simply askod what waa the man'e particular delusion, and I stated It as already mentioned.

There were other grounds for my opinion aa to his insanity, but I was not asksd about them.

Smith Dies in the Hospital To day Was Foray Xantlfled ia Shooting his Step Father The physioians at the Long Island College Hospital this morning abandoned all hope of the recovery of Charles Smith, the boarding hones keeper ol No. IB Hamilton atreet, New York, who waa shot on Mondoy evening by Henry Purdy, the mate of the brlgantine, Harriet under the elrotimetanoaj fully reported in the Eaolh last evening, Owing to the oondltlon of the injured man no attempt could be made to probe for ths bullet, and it would have done no good for the wound wae mortal, and hfl died from it about noon to day. Ths statements of Brady and Monroo, who were present on the doek vyben the ocourrence took place, deny that Smith made any attaok on Purdy, and represents that tho shooting waa enUrely unprovoked. Aa they erotho only witnesses of the affair, the case may go hard against Purdy, although all the surrounding olrcumstanoea go to show that he aoted in self defense. 1 MUNICIPAL.

Ripley Hopes in the Depart ment of City Works. His itlrst Day aa Comnilnioner What he lias to Say About his Administration. Sonta Hints to the Politicians Mayor jW'8 First Cabinet Council Complimentary to JohnjA. Taylor The Build Injrg Department. The event in municipal circles to day was the acoession of Mr.

Itipley Ropes to the office of Commissioner of City Works. Mr. Ropes arrived at the department about nine o'clock and was soon Joined by ox uoinmisBioner jonn jrrencn. xiie lueiae employes were at heir desks early. Uncle Dan, the veteran secretary, appeared a trifle more serious than usual.

He expects io go ahould Borne otbor man than Engineer Robert an Buren be appointed Deputy Commissioner. It looks fow as if Mr. Van Buren is to bo the deputy, although! he does not want the position. Mr. Ropos and Mr.

French had a talk rospeotlng the affairs of the department, and eubsequently some of the chief subordinates In the department were presented to tho new commissioner. Mr. Ropea was in excellent spirits, and had a kindly work for everybody whom he met An Eaqle reporter had a conversation with him during the morning. He said that he proposed to run tho department as he ahould conduct his private business, entirely without regard to politios and in the Interest of the olty. He had noticed in the papers that ths politicians did not seem to like his appointment.

He had no ill feeling toward the politicians, and should not aot in any spirit of vlndlctlreness to them or anybody else In his conduct of tho department. He was not opposed to parties and party organizations bat he did not think that he had any right to reward a member of any political party beoauao of especial political servloes which the person may have rendered. He did not propose to prostitute the department for the purpose of benefiting politicians, and he did not want anybody now employed in the department to sacrifice his politi cal sentiments. What he should demand would be oompetenoy and a full amount of labor for the moneys paid. Whatever changes ho should make would be prompted solely by a desire to promote the Interests of the olty, He could not now say what he should do Is that dlreotlon; but when he had axanilngd tho pay rolls and ascortilusil who the employes wero aud what their duties oonalstod of, be would be in a position to act.

Ho wanted to conduct the department at tho smallest expense with efficient service. Men who were competent, and whose services wero required, would be retained all Incompetent and unneo esaary employes would be cut off. Mr. Ropea was questioned as to the appointment of his deputy. Ho replied that he had not yet decided whom he should appoint That was a matter which he could think of after the bualneaa of the day was over.

Meanwhile, be had other and weightier matters to engago his atten tion. He thought he should be ablo to speak definitely In regard to the deputy in a few days. Tho commissioner was questioned touching the rumor that he proposed to removo Water Registrar Mclaughlin. He sailed and asked how these stories originated. He aald he had decided to do nothing of the kind.

At this point a respectably appearing man entered the office with a huge envelope contaf nlng an applica tion for an appointment and several lotterB of reference. Mr. Ropos examined tho application and pleas antly suggested that the applioant should designate in it the position he wanted and tho minimum amount of salary he oxpeoted. The man seemed somewhat surprised at the courteous treatment he received and Mr, Hopes bad to repeat hie suggestion. The visitor said that he was willing to do any work of an aeoounlant, and he ahould insert In his application theaalaryhe should like, Mr.

Ropes told him to return the amended paper and he sbonld file it and consider It in lis regular order. Thereupon, the departed apparently aatlsfied. Oommfsaloner French moved aroend tha oftloe smil ing and with a pleaaant word to all. He aald that he felt as If he bad been relieved of a great burden, and that he was really glad to retire tp private life. He hoped that Mr.

Hopes would have a successful administration. Deputy Commissioner B. M. Whiting wan also around the offloe; He did not amlle, but looked meekly through his great apeotacles, whloh ware polished to unusual brilllanoy. He remarked) that Commissioner Ropos consulted him freely, but had nothing to say about reappointing him, i Oommiesloner Ropes received many callers who con gratulated him upon his appointment.

The general belief around the Hail seemed to be that CommlsBiOner Hopes will make a considerable reduction in the expenses of the department, arid he oan do it without in the least Impairing the service. He will run the department as it never has bseo ran before, en geoulae'busi ness principles. The Republican politicians will be down on him for it, but in thus lnourrlug their displeasure bo will be firmly upheld by the salf supporting citizens of Brooklyn, who have alokeued of Icoal misrule and extravagance. AT THS FIBB DEPAuTMBNT. Fire Commissioner Partridge was ou band at head quarters early to day, and continued the work of familiarising himself with tbo affairs of the department.

He aald that ho should make only such changes as Bhould promote the efficiency of the force. There appeared to be a feeling of uneasiness among the ofBco employes.

The Bills to Extend Charters of Bank Reported to tho Honiie Majority and minority Keports from the Committee on Banking and Currency Interview with Bopreiontatlvo Bnokner Concerning the Minority rflll PresentedIntended to Bank Circulation The Oovorninont to Itmue Payer Money irectlr Following Engllsih Precedent Note Iimne no Fart of Banking Proper. Speoial Correspondence of the Eagle. WeJRinoioK, D. February 7. With the report from the Banking and Currenoy Committee to day, on tha Crapo bill extending (be charters of national banks', whloh ar now Hon.

A. H. Buckner, of Missouri, made a vigorous pro teat, and presented a minority report Your correspondent called on Mr. Duokner to night, and got a very satisfaatory interviow from him, so far as it goes, which waa about as follows Can you tell me the nature of the bUl reported from the Banking and Onrreaoy Committee by Mr. Crapo today? The Bank Extension bill reported from the Banking and Currenoy Committee la a substltuta for what is known as the BOx bill; ior oonttnfting tne ohaxters of the National Banks, whose oharters are expiring by limitation.

The substitute Is an improvement on the Knox blU, and attampta to obviate some of the objeo tlona nrged against that In Its details It is less objec tionable than tha bill of tho Controller of the currenoy. What does your substitute propose in reference to the banks 1 It assumes that during the period while the Govern ment le redeeming the three and a half per cent, bonds, the power of the banks now exerolaed by them to curtail their elroulatlon at will is a continual menace to the business interests of the country. Of the $870,000,000 of bonds held as seourity for elroulatlon, two thtrde, or $240,000, oonslst of bonds that in all probability will be rodeemed within tho next six years. It la apparent from tho amount of four and four and a half per cents, now held In the Treasury as seourity for circulation for bonds organized in tha last eix months that the banks will not pay the premiums on them, as a substitute for 3o; per when tho latter are oalled for re demption, It they will not do this, tne result muse necessarily be that the paper olraulatton will bo de ereased from two hundred to two hundred and twenty, five millions within theparlodldurlng whloh the Sa are being redeemed. If we redeem one hundred millions of tha 3)tf per oents this year nearly one half of theao bonds belong to the banks, and they will be reduced to the alternative of buying other 3f or 4 and per oents, or there must be a reduction of the circulation as great as the anm which waa withdrawn laat Spring, and which frightened Hayes into a veto of the Funding bill.

If soma provltlon is not made during this Congress for this not improbable condition of things In the near future, it is not likely it win be done during the next Gongrtss, and for tho reason that both parties will foar to touoh tho question. The bill of tho majority only looks to tho perpetuation the present banking status. The anbBtltute seekB to provide agolnBt the probable perils of the future. It provides for a new issue of treasury notes, without lsgal tender quality, but receivable for all duee to and from tha Gov ernment (except where otherwise stipulated), which shall take ths plaoe of national notes, aa tbo S)i per cents, are redeemed, and 1bo gives authority to the banks holding other bonds as aeourlty for their notes to withdraw their bonds as now on a deposit of lawful money, or tho new Issue of treasury notes. No new banks are permitted, or old banks con tinned, and no bank can hare any additional circulation, and aa inducement to the banks to give ap their circulation all national taxes are repealed as to banks with no circulation.

A redemption of theae notes ia coin is also provided for. The substitute then provides that the Government shall issue all the paper ojoulatlon direotly, and not through the banks. Yes. I not only believe that the Government should ooln metallic money, but ttat it ahould also issue the credit or paper circulation, which performs the office of money by law or usage. Ttte oredit circulation should also be fixed in omouut; and whatever elasticity is needed should be given to tbo volume of circulation either by coin or a representative circulation, aa contradistinguished from the orectt elroulatlon.

This is the system adopted by Peel's bli of 18W, which has been in operation In England and Wales ever slnoe and tht substitute Is intended to bo atop in that direction, Do I understand you to ear that the government of England since 1344 has Issued the paper circulation I I say that is, in effect, the financial policy of England, That Is, that the laauo department of the Bank of England is, to all intents and purposes, a part of the government and has no connection with the banking department; except that the two departments are un der the same board of control. Ths power to issue circulation onght not to be exercised by tho same authority that makes loans and discounts. Note Issue is no legitimate function of banking, and it ought not to be permitted. It has been productive of immeasurable mischief, especially in this country, and it should be from the banks, leaving them to their leglmate functions of receiving deposits, loaning money and deatlng in exchange. Thla question is forced upon us by the payment of the publlo debt and we must either Btop paying the debt and keep a portion of it for the speoial benefit of the banks, find some other foundation of tha banks or return to the vicious system of State banks.

The United Statos has issued one half of the credit circulation for nearly twenty years. It ought to Issue the whole, and sooner or later It will be done, as wa will neither burden the people With an interest bearing debt to keep up ths national banks nor return to the defunct State bank system.

Young, M.D., a resident of the City of Brooklyn, in the county aforesaid, being a graduate of the College of Fbyslclaus and Surgeons, New York, and having practised as a physician, heroby certify under oath that on the 7th day of August, 1878, I personally oxamined James Richmond, 06 yoars old, Irelaud, atngle, laborer, inmate of the Rings County Hospital, aud that the Bald James Kiohmond la ibBane and a proper peraon for oare and treatment under the provisions of ohapter 446, Laws of 1874. I further certify that I have formed this opinion ou the following grounds, That he seoms mcapauie oi expressing nimseir in an lntelliffout manner: his memory is very deleotlve and treacherouB his ideas are confused and oftentimea unintelligible, and It is only after repeated queBtlouing that ho can be luduoed to say a word that he seems to ne ever aosomeu, as it wore, in nis own tnougnts; is constantly rubbing bis face and head when spoken to: his countenance ia utterly void of any expression whatevor, and the recolleotlon of the more notable events of hla lifo la so meager that bo Is unable to state whore he roeiooa, or tne lengcn oi time ne uaa oecn in the hospital that ho never delgus to notice his fellow i patients, and nt times mauifestB by hia actions well marked suicidal tendencies. And I further deolare that my qualifications as a medical oxaminer in lunaoy a ye been duly attested and oertified by the Hon. Henry Moore, county ox Kings uounty. Sworn to and subscribed before me, this 8th day of AUgUBt, 1878.

On August these certlQoates wero approved by Judge MoCue, of the City Court The certiflcatoa ao approved constituted tho 'commitment under tho pro visions of Chapter 446, of the Laws of 1874, and war ranted his detention in the asylum until legally discharged. Ho eicaped from tho Asylum on Maroh 10, 1880. During all the time ho was in the Asylum ho was maintained at the expense of the county, the authori ties believing blm to be a pauper. It turns out, how ever, tnat he has over $0,000 In savings banks.

The Commissioners of Charities on behalf of the county sue Rlohmond and a savings bank to recover $380 for his cure and treatment, support and maintenance in the Asylum for nineteen months, and to compel its payment out of the fund belonging to him in the bank A law was passed In 1814 (Chapter 174), giving the predecessors in ofiloo of. the Commissioners of Charities the right to recover possession of the on deposit or other personal property" of a person admitted to any At tho oounty Institutions as a pauper, to1 tho end that the same may be applied toward the expense inourred by the county In his maintenance. Several suits havo within tbo last two years beon brought under this law against suppoaed paupera and aaringa banks, whioh have resulted in Judgments in favor of tho oounty for about $0,000. THB CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THE AOT. The constitutionality of the act haa been assailed.

The oounsel of the hanks and the pauper lunatics sued hare maintained that the act authorlzea the county to deprive pauper lunatics In the asylum of their property without due process of law. Mr. William Sullivan, who has appeared In all those cases the commissioners, hss contsudod on tho other hand that those who have Imposed on tho county and put It to expenae for their support, whou It was not legally bound to maintain them ot its own expense, are bound to reimburse tho oounty; that the obligation rests on the broad priuciple that every man is bound to be truthful and honest in' all the relatione of life; and that the act of 1844, as rightly Interpreted, only gives a orodltor a lien or claim on the fund of a debtor In the hands of a third person. In presenting auoh a Claim the Legislature Intends that the county should proceed against all parties eonoerned by due proeaaa of law. This interest, it is olaimed by counsel, eontrols the construction of the act and removes all constitutional objections to it.

The courts have taken this view of the law and sustained ite constitutionality. In this case Richmond demurred to the eomplaint The argument was heard before Mr. Justice Barnard who overruled the demurrer. In his opinion he saya "The plaintiff should have judgment on the demurrer. The defendant Richmond, aa pauper lunatic, wae supported by Kings County for nineteen months.

In justice to the oounty he should pay for his support if he Has ths means to do so. To compel payment by a lunatlo who waa admitted to the Lunatlo Asylum aa a pauper, the Leglalature, by Ohapter 174, of the Laws of 1844, gave a right of aotioa to the plaintiffs and their predecessors in office to recover hla property. It gava the county a lien or olaltn. upon his property for the debt ha owca the There is no constitutional objeotlon to thla law." TH. TBIAL.

The case cams on or.tnal laat Friday, at the Speelal Term of the Supreme Court, held by Mr. Jnstioe Gilbert. Mr. Sullivan puti in evidence the commitment, whloh consisted of tha oertifloates ot the physicians, given above, approved by Judge MeOuc. Mr.

Sullivan also proved that Richmond was supported by tha county for nineteen months in the asylum, and then rested bis case. Mr. Benjamin O. Hltchings, Richmond's counsel, Insisted that bis olient was not Insane, and that his commitment and detention lu the asylum were unlawful, Rienmond'e version of the story, and faota brought out supporting it, were published in last Snnday'a Eaolk. Mr.

Snllivan'B contention is that, lnasmuoh aa the commitment is regular aud valid on IU faee, and was approved a Judgo of a court of record In thla county, it cannot be attacked collaterally in. any aotion to oompel tho payment of Richmond's support In the asylum. He aays tbat tha Flatbush asylum Is a public institution open to all persona legally committed thereto aa lunatica, and that noithor tho county authorities nor ths superintendent of the asylum can lawfully refuse to admit auch persons. If a aane man is Incarcerated within the walla of the asylum, the wrong la imputablo to, othera, against whom he has a remedy. At all events, the oounty ie bound to maintain evory person legally oommltted to tho asylum ae a lunatic.

If ho bo a State pauper his maintenance ia at tho expense of the State. If he ia chargeabio to the county, be muat be supported at the expense of the oounty. But if, aa in this case, ia not a pauper bnt baa property, tho oounty may reimburse itaolf out of the property. TH LAW AFFECTING THE OA8B. A earetnl examination of the law may furniah to tbs reader much important Information on the aubject.

All persona eoufined in lunatic asylums are committed under chapter 440 of the Laws of 1874. whloh is a revision and oonaolldation of the statutes of the State re lating to the care and onetody of the Insane, the management of the asylum for their treatment aud safekeeping and the dutiea of the State Commissioner In Lunacy. Thla aot was drafted principally Dy nr. Ordronanx, State Commissioner in Lsnacy, and waa Intended to prevent a reoiirrenco of the abuses growing out of the former laws under whioh two Justices of the peace bad a right to commit a man on tha ex parte testimony of two physicians. It throws several safe guards around the liberty of the oltlzen, and if any sane man ie committed to an asylum, it is the fault or negUgenco of those apaolally charged with tha admiuie tration of thia Tho law provides thai no person shall be committed tor confined in any asylum except on tha certificates ot two physicians under oath, setting forth the Insanity, of auch pel son.

The statute prescribes tho qualifications of the pbyalf lan, and theBe muBt be certified: to by a judge ol fc.court of record. It further provides that no certiflsaU shall be made except after a personal examination of tha party alleged to tso insane, and accor4iug to forms pro scribed by. the State Commissioner iu Lunaoy; and that ovary certificate shall bear dale of not more than ten days prior to such commitment. The auperiutendout cannot hold: a person bo committed more than five days unloaa within that time the certifi cate la approved by a judge, or justice of a court of record of tha oounty or district in which tha alleged lunatic resides, and such judge may Institute inquiriea and take proofs as to asy alleged lunacy before approve ing or disapproving of aueh certificate, and may in hte dlaoretlon call a jury in each oas to determine Ui question ot lunacy, WHO ABE BBSrONSIBLE. It may bo aetn from the above that the pattiea responsible are, first, the physioians who make the certificate: Bcondly, tho judge who oeriifies to their quallflcaliou, aud thirdly, and chiefly, tho judge who appravea tho couaniUmeut without exorcinlug all tho care and judicial puwer latruiited to liiui by the law.

Senator Kleruan has introduced a bill authorizing the Deportment of City Works to construct a sower in Columbia street, from Hamilton avenue to Wolcott street. But this sower is uot to be constructed until tho Department of Hoalth shall have oxaminod and ooriiflud that It is necessary to the piibllp health, and in this event It Is to be constructed as the last one built by the olty, and the assessments are to bo lold as they were in the ease of the last sewer constructed, and on tlis proporty benefited.

Mr. Shorldou has introduced the samo bill, In the House. Mr. Sheridan baa also introduced a bill to legalize primaries, cauouaes and conventions. This ia an old measure, Loving been introduced for several years past, and invariably beaten by reason of the stroug opposition of tbo country mombers, Hehasnlsu introduced tho old Third avonuo Sower Extension beaten last year.

It providos for the oxtmisiou from Twenty eighth to the foot of Forty ninth street; the assessments to be oolleeted In twenty annual installments. Mr. Newman has introduced a bill to modify the two thirds law so far as to permit the gradiug or paving of Thirty eighth atreet between Third and Fourth avenues."

Mr Lindsay has introduced a bill providing for the gradiug and paving of Johnson avonue, from old Bush wick avonue to Flushing avenue, without advertising for romonstrauoes and without rogard to whether or not thero is money in the treasury available for tho purpose. Tho work is to be done by contract work, for which stated proposals shall be sent lu, and tho oon tract will be awarded to the lowest bidder.

It. Is also provided that tho Two thirds Restriction law shall not apply, and the cost of tho work is to be assessed upon lauds on olthor side of tho avonue to tho extent of one hundred feat. Tho meaning of the withdrawal of tlio Tammany mombers from tho Domooratio cancua last evening, when their request for an adjournment was refused them, is made clear this morning. It was thought thou, and the County Democracy loaders wore certain, that Tammany would voto for the caucus uomiuoes all of whom wero renominated last night. But this morning tho Tammany members oame into the chamber making known thoir purpose to vote for J.

Dongherly for clerk. Of course, this will prevent an olootion of a clerk. The Tammany people claim that they have uot been treated In good faith, and that thoy aro jiiBliflcd in their action. It 1b ballovcd that this is done for the purpose of influencing Speaker Patterson in tho composition of the committees. At all events, the Speaker does not intend to announoe hie oommitteea until to morrow, and I am inclined to be Hove that Tammany will bo subjected to great disap pointment if thoir hopes are high.

I venture to prodict that they will uot control either the Cities, Railroads or Commerce ml Navigation commlttscs. Tho offort to tnvoBt the Lieutenant Governor and Senator Jacobs with the powor to appoint the Sonato committoes by resolution, brought on a brief debate, and the proposition, which emanated from Senator Homer A.

The events of yesterday seemed to havo muddled affairs worse than ever, and the probabilities of an organization of ths 8enate are more romote than they have been during the past Ave wooks.

The want of sagacity aud capacity for leadership manifested by either faellon Is poinfully apparent, and has resulted only In looking up the Senate tighter than over. I 'venture to say, also, that Speaker Pattoraon'a list of committeea will not assist in the un loeking. HONEY MARKET. Wall Street, Fobrnary 83 P. M.

Mary Barnea, Alleged Persecutions of an Old Lady Because she Wanted to Marry In Inter estinjr Case Before Justioe Courtney. A suit to disposses a tenant, which waa surrounded with some interesting features, waa tried bo fore Justioe Courtney yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Mary Barnes, of 1,162 Prospoot placo, was tbe plaintiff, aud Mrs. Agnes Iadell, who oecupies tho seoonit floor of tho premiaea, tho defendant.

Mrs. Barnos is the widow of a once wealthy merchant in New York, any is an old lady of znuoh relinemont SUo still bears unmistakable evidenoss of having beou at ono time ths possessor of much beauty aud attraotivenoss. With her grown up sou and daughter she lived In tho above xiromises, which were richly furnished, and until a oouplo of weeks ago the old lady's existence eeemed to be unruffled. Her ohildren made her life as pleasant as possible, and tha Iadell family, to whom she rented a por tion of the bouso, lived on tho moat agreeable terms with her, All at onee, howorer, she became INYOLYED IN A SEA OF TROUBLES, and, acoordlng to her own reprenBatatlons, beoame tho victim of ernel and inhuman treatment Hor aon and daughter, it is charged, too a leading rtart lu tho porse cutlon to which buo waa subjeoted, their action In that respect being ably seconded by tha members of the Isdell family. Tho oauBO of Mrs.

Barnea' troublea waa not bard to diaoovor. She had the temerity to reueive the visits of ths halo old gentleman, and admitted to her friends that a matrimonial conneotion was likely to result from this acquaintance. Her aoa and daughter resolutely set their faces against the contemplated union, and used extraordinary measures to prevent tha accomplishment of the matoh. Love, howover, upsot all their calculations, and all the arguments thoy could bring to bear failed to oonYinoe their mother that her future happiness did not lie lu the direction of matrimony. Under these circumstances, more severe measuros were resorted to for the purpoae of bringing her to terms, and some of them were put into operation a woek ago last Sunday night Mrs.

Barnea, on returning from ehuroh, found that hor front door was locked and that admission was refused her, except on certain oouditlons. Her daughter, it Is alleged, appeared at tha window and declared that she would not admit her unless she solemnly averred that eha was not married, and promised that she would remain single fer tbe remainder of her deya." "What did' I do under those elrouniBtances 7" said Mrs. Barnes to a gentleman who Bpoke to her on tho subject, "What oould I dot Thu night waa stormy and oold, and I had no other plaoo to go to, so I KNELT DOWN IN THB SNOW, on the stoop and swore that my name waa still Mary Barnes, They then oponed tho door and let me In, but I waa kept a cloae prisoner for forty eight hours. I finally mado my escape from tho house and went to tho residence of my aiater, Mrs. Cousins, with whom I have beon stopping since, being afraid to go to my home.

I think it is a pretty hard oasa. Do I luteud to get married 7 I must admit that my intentions are in that direction." After this treatment Mrs. Baruea took legal steps to iapossesa the Iadell family, and all the interested parties, inoludlng her daughter and the iutended husband of the old lady, appeared In oonrt. When Mrs. Barnea was relating her story to the judgo ebe was overcome with her omotloua and almost fainted.

The gentleman who aspires to her hand exhibited bis deop affection In the trying emergency, rushing forward end enveloping her In his arms, when she seemed in danger of falling from the ohalr. He then procured a glass of water and soothed the old lady aa if ahe wore a ohlid, Miss Barnes was willing, to take the stand and testify for the defendaat, but JuBtlce Courtney refuted to allow her to exhibit herself In hostility to her mother. But after hearing the testimony he found that the neoessary nottoe to vacate had not been given to Mrs, Iadell, and was rsluotantly compelled to decide the salt against Mrs. Barnes. Then, having been informed by the latter that her daughter refused to surrender tbe keys of the house, Justice Courtney sent an ofitecr with Mrs, Barnea and the daughter gave up the keyc.

Mrs. Barnea then demanded her rent from Mrs, Isdell in the presence of Deputy Sheriff Andrew Lyons, and being roiuBodjmjmout, commenced proceedings against her, and to morrow, afternoon the case will be tried by Jaatlce Courtney. Mrs. Barnes haa relitcd the story of her troubles to District Attorney Catlin, who has been a longtime acquainted with her family, and haa fully Instructed her asto her rights In the premiaea and she aeema to have pluck enough to maintain them.

Chief Justice Barnard on his Dismissal from tha Foroe. The Conviction Wrong, at Captain Riiey did Nothing but What a Vigilant and Careful Officer Should Hare Done The Error of Which the Judgre Says Commissioner Jourdan was Guilty. Captain Biley, of tha Twelfth Prooinot, was dismissed from the polios force by Superintendent Jourdan for alleged mlsaonduct In eompslllng Mrs. Lottie Johnson to quit her homo between two arM three o'olosk in the morning to go to ths station, to give information respootlng a orlminal assault oom mlttod on Mrs. Mordaunt by throwing red pepper in her eyes on ths previous evening, at eleven o'olook.

It was stated to Captain Riley that Mrs. Johnson, a rlond of Sorgeant Campbell, had requested Mrs. Mordaunt to make friends with Sergeant Campbell, as he was a dangerous man and would throw vitriol in her eyes. ThlB was told to Captain Riley by Mrs. Mordaunt after tho assault was committed on her.

Ho therefore sent for Mrs. Johnson, thinking that she might throw some light on the cat. The General Term of the Supreme Court affirmed the conviotion, Chief Juatioa Barnard writing th foJIowleg DISSENTING OPINION. BAnNABD, dissenting It would eufnolent of Itself to reverse the conviotion of the relator that the commissioner dismissed him for reasons not stated in the charge and specifications. The obargo was misconduct.

The spssifloallon was that on May 21, 1881, between 2 and 8 o'clock A. the relator sent two officers and made a Mrs. Johnson get out of bed and accompany them to the station bouse, and that while then the relator, who was a oaptala of polloe, asked several quaatlona Ol wmcn Airs, oonnaoa uau uunuuwuuiv, and when she so stated that the relator said, "I do not believe you," nd appeared to, want the witness to say something against ono Sergeant Campbell, The commissioner convicted relator for that, without warrant, he caused Mrs. JoboBon to he tasen irom usr house, while elok, at an unreasonable hour and compelled her to walk to the station house against Ine prOlOSie OX uer sgau pinuw, nuu ua uowuiou Mrs. Johnson for about an nonr and caused a record to bo entered against her of a felonious assault; that he dlsoharged her without a Judicial hearing and made a return of the charge and arrest to tha superintendent of police, and afterward swore that no arrest had been mado.

Tha specification oontainad no such obarge in referenoo to the entry of a felonious ohsrge against Mrs. Johnson, nor of tho return of the arrest and the subsequent false oath. Aa matter of fael there Is no proof on the euojeoc or tne return oi me arrest tu tuo commissioner or of the false oath afterward. Tho oon TiolioD. therefore, lneludea oharges not made, and also charges as to whloh there is no proof.

The oomplain ant a alcxnass ib not mentiouou in tue ninjuiutuMuu. iu 1b not established by the evidence. That was evidently an afterthought If true, it was nnknewn to the relator, and should be no part of the obarge against him. The same remarks can be made as to the protests of the aged parents. No protest was.

made to relator; ho knew of none neing niaae to tne ouioer. upuu iuerta tuu officer oon vloted is entirely guiltless of any offenae, legal or otherwise. THE FACTS. On tho evening preceding the arrest, a Mrs. Mor daunt had been assaulted by some person who had thrown red popper In her eyes, word was seat to the relator, and no went to aee the injured woman, and he found the offeuio to have been committed.

This was about ten minutes to 11 o'clock, airs, uoraaust oaa previoualy received anonymous letters, threatening hr In reference to a oomolaint then made or to be made against one James Campbell, who waa sergeant or ponce, airs, yonnaoa was an intimate acquaintance of Campbell. Mrs. Johnson had, according to the statement of Mrs. Mordaunt made to the relator on May 16. 1881, told her it was best to atop the investigation against Campbell, as ''he was a dangerous man.

and would throw vitriol in her eyes." The relator sent two officers to request Mrs. Johnson, at about three o'oloek In the morning, to come to the station house. Ho did thla so aa to question her before she could com munloato with Campbell, and to obtain her answers to questions showing who was the person guilty of the great outrage on Mrs. Mordaunt. Thero was no arrest aud no compulsion, Mrs.

Johnson saya tho officers replied to statement made by the father that she should not go, "Then wa have got all night If she don't go." Tho officers were out of doors. Mrs. Johuson saya further that she thought "something waa the matter with her husband" and "she went to the station honsa." AJUr answering tha questions of the relator she. returned home. Her answers were to the effect that she knew nothing as to who did the aot of throwing the pepper.
