Amelia John, son, of No. $9 Nevlna Btreet, to proseonte a suit brought galtfft Wliam M. of No. 171 Twelfth street, South Brooklyn, for $20, the amount of rent due for two months and a halfe nee. of certain apartments in Mrs, Johnson's house by Mrs.

Prindle, of No. fli Jton street It seems that as far back as 1881, Mrs. Prindle was a tenant of Mrs. Johnson's, and paid $8 a month for the apartments she occupied. Mrs.

Prindle waf an attendant at Dr. Talmago's Tabernacle, and Mr. Hereon is one of the city missionaries attached to the church. Mrs. Prindle became pecunlarly involved and got jn.

arrears for rent. Mrs. Johnfon pressed her for Payment, and In hex extremity, Mrs. Prlndlo applied to the church for relief. It was then that Mr.

Hereon took her case In hand, and Mrs. Johnson swore that he called upon her, and told her to allow Mrs. Prindle to remain in tho rooms and that he would sea that the rent waft paid. Upon this statement, Mrs. Johnson swears she allowed Mrs.

Prindle to remain, but that lady, at the end of two months and a half, moved and loft the rent unpaid, She further swears that when she appealed to the City Missionary for the payment of the $20 he first put her off and finally repudiated the debt and Bald he was not responsible for it. At last Mrs. Johnson became indignant and brought this action. Pearson swore to the main facts above stated, but denied under oath that he ever promised to pay the rent, and said he had no control' of the Tabernacle Charity Fund, except so far as he was empowered to pay over such sums as were agreed upon by thoso officers having the disposition of the moneys In their charge, Mr. Bldgeway stated that, under Mr.

Pearson's sworn denial, he would agree to a non suit, as his client had no witnesses who heard Mr. Pearson promise her that he would bo responsible tor the rent, consequently he could not be held as legally responsible but Mr. lUdge way added that he certainly was morally responsible for the payment of tho sum, and insinuated that If Mr. Pearson was a gentleman he would see that the debt was liquidated, A non suit was therefore entered in tho case.

Peter Sexton, of No. 25 Macomb street, sua Nathan Woolrlde, of Baltic street, between Fourth" and Fifth avenues, were both before the bar in Justice Walsh's court this morning, the former is the complainant and the latter as 'ftefendant. The chirgo pre ferred against Woplrldgo was that of having threatened to kill Boxton, and Sexton In his affidavit swore that he believed woolridge would carry his threat into ex cation." Sexton is about 15 of age, and woolridge Is per haps a year and a half hlfl senior. Thoy had been chuma but hod had a disagreement, and it waa upon the occa sion of their falling out that Woolridge tnrcatenea Hex ton that ho would have his life, and gently insinuated that ho would put liis heart on a plate, Both the young gentlemen wero represented by counsel, aud. as Judge Walsh remarked, the legal gentlemen were making the case of more importance than it really was.

It was simply a boyish quarrel, and Interrupting the counsel, Justice Walsh said, "I think I can settle this matter myself." So saying he beckoned to tho two boys to stop closer to the bar. "Now what do you two want to quarrel for he asokd. Both looked very sheepish and neithor answered. "Woolridge, do. you intend to have tho life blood of "No," said Woolridge.

Democratic Senators Show Their Opponents a Eule that Works BothWays. Employing Tactics that the Democrats Used with Success Last Year, but Easily Overcome When Confronted witli Them from the Other Side Appointment of a Secretary to the Railroad Commission Caucus Last Night.

Special Correspondence of The Eagle. Albany, March 13. The long contest over the Capitol Commission bill in the Senate was ended to day after a prolonged session of six hours and a half. This bill the Kcpublican Senators have contested at every step, and made against ita fictitious and unreasoning fight. Tho bill itself originated in a desire to bring the capitol to a completion.

It was drawn and presented in obedience to the belief of tho Governor, well understood, that tho timo had come when measures should be taken to bring about the completion of the monstrous structure. Even to lay oyes it was apparent that tho bnilding was in such au advanced stago that two years of vigorous work would see the end. From the moment of its inception Albany has been in active aud energetic protest against any change iu tho condition of things about tho capitol. Albany does not desire capitol to be finished. It would like to havo the work continue over a number of years, and hence Governor Cleveland risked his popularity with Albany in proposing that the timo should come when tho appropriation of a million dollars to spend yearly in Albany should end.

Albany's opposition, which is natural, could bo understood, but why the Republican legislators from elsewhere should offer such fierce opposition to measures which had for their end the completion of a.work which has cost already nearly fifteen millions of dollars is not so clear. Tho fight has all been mado in tho interest of Eaton, the superintendent. A most extraordinary anxiety to protect this man, whom nobody had attacked, possessed tho minority until naturally grave suspicions aro excited that there Is something behind it all that should bo looked into. This opposition was not so manifest in the Assembly as in tho Senate, When the bill was under consideration in the committee of the whole Senate, every provision was attached, long speeches wero made and from tho firat tho whole point seemed to be delay. Now this bill unquestionably gives the Governor great power in the premises.

This power was needed in order to drive tho work with vigor. The Governor was cmpowored to appoint and remove at discretion, and therefore the responsibility of completion and good work to tho end rested on tho Governor aud this responsibility tho Execntivo was willing to assume. Tired of the factious opposition Senator Titus, who had charge of tho bill, moved to report progress on the bill, and when in the Sonato moved to order the bill to a third reading, which was done. Whereat the Re publican senators were in a great state of indignation aud at once declared that the bill should never pass, as they would adopt tho same tactics employed by the minority of the Democratic senators on tho Railroad Commission bill last Winter and refuse to vote The truth is, in all probability, Senator Titus walked into the trap set for him and did what tho Republicans wanted him to do, and thus gavo them a pretended grievance. Since then, whonover tho bill has been up on third reading, they have talked on it until tho hour of adjournment arrived and thus delayed.

To day tho Democrats moved to indefinitely extend tho time of the session and contiuue in Bcssion until a voto was reached. VAGARIES OP DEBATE. Tho Republicans employed their old mcthofle and the debate wandered, as Senator Covert said, from tho atheism of Thomas Jefferson to tho confirmation of the Railroad Commissioners. Senator Thomas tinned it into a political debate by charging all BortB of crimes on the Democratic party, and Senator Giady, defending it, recited all tho' misdeeds of tho Republicans. When this was played out to the ond tho Republican Senators one after another came up with amendments which wero as regularly voted down, and finally at about twenty minutes of four a vote was reached.

Every Democratic Senator responded to liis name by yoting affirmatively on the passage of the bill eighteen in all. The Republican Senators refused to vote. The absent ees wero called several times, and finally Senator H. A. Nelson raised the point that tho bill had been passed, as a majority of all the Senators elected had voted for the bill, threo fifths being present.

This was tho point. The constitution provides that a majority of all tho Souators elected, seventeen, shall voto for the bill, three fifths of all tho Senators elected, twenty, being present. Heretofore it has been held that twenty votes, cither affirmatively or negatively, must bo recorded to show that three fifths were present. By refusing to vote, the Senators of the Democratic minor ity brought the majority to their terms on the Railroad Commission bill in 1882, and the Republicans sought to employ tho same methods, aud hence but eighteen votes were cast, and theso affirmatively. They had boasted too loudly of their intention.

The majority was pre pared for them. Tho president, tho Lieutenant Governor, instructed the clerk to enter on his record tho names of the Senators present and not voting, and when a decision was callod for he decided that the constitution did not require that they should bo present and voting, but that the two officers, the President and Clerk of the Sonato, charged with tho duty, had tho physical demonstration of tho fact that thrcc firths were present, and bo the record was made. A PABMAMEXTARY SURPRISE. Tho Republican Senators wero somewhat taken aback by this decision, and before they could rally Senator Titus moved an adjournment of the The minority tried then to appeal from the decision of the Chair, but tho motion to adjourn took precedence and was declared carried. Tho minority was angered, and threatened that tho Controller would order tho payment of money under the bill until he was maudamusod and thus the law would be carried into tho courts.

Unfortunately for this position the. law reports arc studded with'decisious that the courts cannot go behind the jurats of the presiding officers. The bill now goes to the Assembly for concurrence in the amendments of tho Senate amendments that in all probability will be concurred in. Tho episode varied the monotony of the preseut dull Legislative session. The Railroad Commissioners this morning appointed a secretary.

His name is Thompson and he is a citizen of Ohio, at present Cldef Clerk in tho Auditor's office of the Oliio and Pennsylvania road, which has a close con nection with the Erie road. He resides at Cleveland. The action of the commission is severely commented upon and the question most frequently asked is this, la there not a man in the whole population of five millions of this State who could be found to fill this office? It is not upon this point, it is likely that it will bo bo BoriouBly aud Justly criticized as upon another. The most promiucnt candidate for tho position was Major Bacon, of Georgia, who is a practical railroad expert and secretary of tho Railroad Commission of Georgia. Tho recommendations of this man wero tho finest I over saw mado in behalf of any man.

The leading railroad men of the country bore ample testimony to Mb intimato and minute acquaintance with all branches the railroad business leading statesmen of the country boro testimony to his ability and integrity leading public men of this State urged his nomination as peculiarly fit and proper. Beside this, ho had experience in com mission labor and with the commission which is usually acknowledged to bo the model commission of the country and to tho reputation tliis commission enjoys Major Bacon had contributed largoly by liis wido knowledge and efficiency. This gentleman, by far the fittest man presented, and who had had, previous to bis appointment to the secretaryship of tho Georgia Commission, a rosldonco in New York State, was Bet aside by the Commission, it is understood, because of non residence in the State. In the minds of tho many this constituted a valid objection, and perhaps the Commissioners would not lie under criticism if they had adhered to this action, but they did not, for they went into Ohio and selected a railroad accountant, who, I am informed, was recommended only by Erie influences in this State, and was indorsed by no public man of New York. Against this appointment I am told Commissioner CDonneli protested and refused to be recorded.

The action of the Commission is a blunder, the consequences of which are not yet seen. If tho Commission sought an expert for a secretary, and to find him wore compelled to go beyond the limits of tho State, Major Bacon was the man they Bhould havo chosen. MAYOB LOW'S ARREARAGES BHA. The Arrears bill as sent to tho Legislature by Mayor Low has passed both Houses, and without opposition. This was because tho Kings County delegation were solid in its support.

It will go to tho Governor to morrow, and it is doubtful if it will remain long in his hands, for he understands the necessities of Brooklyn in this matter and that the best sentiment of the city is in support of it The Democratic members of the Legislature went Into caucus this evening upon the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Thero were a host of candidates, the leading ones being William B. Buggies, ex Deputy Attorney General under Schoonmaker and Ward James E. Morrison, ex Police Commissioner and ex Assemblyman from New York City, and Mr. McMillan, of Oneida.

As indicated in my dispatch to day, Mr. Buggies was nominated on the second ballot. Kings County supported a Warren Hamilton, not, I think, because they expected to nominate Mm, but because they found bim a conveni ent refuge among the host of claimant. Ihe joint aes eion will be held to morrow at twelve. Baiorui A Vote of Confidence Asked From the Chamber of Deputies Sons, March It.

Bignor Hancini, Minister of Foreign Affairs, replying to the Chamber of Deputies to criticisms on bis polioy, Bald that to those who reproached him for having vainly Bought an Atist ro Oerman alliance, he would answer that a power whoso Bnbjccts numbered thirty millions and which possessed an excellent army and navy only offered its alliance to those desiring it after ascertaining that it was desired. The statement that the Cabinet had met with a refusal at Berlin and Vienna was untrue. He said there was a manifest conformity of action between Italy, Germany and Austria. Timo had shown the possibility of co ordinating this line of conduct with an improvement of the relations with Franco and England. The government, he Bald, would repress with vigor all Irredentist manifestations.

The recent demonstrations of tho Irredentists bad not affected tho relations between Austria and Italy. Slgnor Mancinl concluded by asking the Chamber for an explicit vote of confidence. A BOLD SNEAK THIEF. A sneak thief yesterday afternoon, abont 4 o'clock, entered the apartments of John Schneider, on the second floor of No. 176 Stagg Btreet, and stole money and property valued at $102.

Special to the Eagle. Albany, March 14. Mr. Henry introduced a bill, entitled "An Act in relation to the Common Cquncil of the City of Brooklyn." Section 1. The Common Council of Brooklyn shi consist of four Aldermen, to be elected at the next general election from each Senatorial district or such portions thereof as are within the corporato limits of our city, and seven Aldermen Bhall bo elected by the city at largo at tho samo time.

They shall serve without compensation, and shall hold office for two years from January 1 next succeeding their election. At tho general election to bo held in 1885 and every two years thereafter there shall bo elected Common Council, as hereinbefore provided. Any vacancy which may occur shall bo filled iu tho unexpired term by tho members of tho Common Coun. cil electing and by a majority of all the members lectcd. Sec, 2.

Tho terms of office of the members of the present Common Council shall cease on January 1, next, at noon. Tliis morning Mr. Taylor attempted, by unanimous consent, to have the act amending the act of 1881 reduc ing the assessments in tho Twonly sccoud Ward two thirds, ordered to a third reading. This bill was brought up yesterday by John P. Hud son, of Brooklyn, and introduced yesterday.

It has been now ordered to a thiol reading before any one has had uu opportunity to examine its provisions, It is said that it will largely influence the decisions in certain cases now pending in the courts. It certainly does vacate oue tliird of certain assess ments and seems to be In the interest of a few property owners to the disadvantage of tho city. At all events, it is entirely too important a hill to be dealt with iu this hasty manner, and the speed with which it has been rushed excites suspicion as to its provisious and effect. A halt must bo called upon it in the Senate until some one knows what the bill means. Mr.

McCarren objected and the attempt failed. A large number of Brooklynites are at present in Albany. Robert Fivro.y, James Shovlin, Anthony Bar rett, F. H. Massey, Supervisors Lake and McKune, Colonel Carroll and Richard J.

Newman are here. From East New York we havo E. F. Linton, C. W.

C. Droher, Philip Jardon, C. Warren Hamilton, Emili Schiellein and Stephen G. Conovcr. Tiie Senate and Assembly met in Joint session tin's morning and by a strict party division elected William B.

Rnggle, Superintendent of Public Instruction. The Republicans voted for tho present ineumbcut, Neil Gilmour. The choico is ono that will commend itself to tin public, for Mr. Buggies is a man of integrity and ability. Tho Republican Senators arc engaged in an effort this morning to reverse the decision of the Lieutenant Gov ernor, that when three fifths aro present it is not neces sary that the votes should determine.

It 1b necessary for them to correct tho journal, but thepreccdents made by Republicans arc that the jou: Ual cannot be altered, amended or corrected. That astute statesman, Mr. Burns, is the victim of a joke he perpetrated upon himself. When the bill which seeks to make the salaries of the firemen uniform, without regard to length of service, was under consider ation in the Committee of tho Whole, Mr. Burns sought to amend the bill in accordance with some wishes ex pressed by tho Mayor, Tliis he did in so blundering a manner that when tho engrossing clerk came to engross the bill ho naturally supposed that tho provision making tho salaries uni form was stricken out by amendment, and so engrossed the bill.

The result was tho bill was passed in that shape yes terday. Shortly after Mr. Burns discovered tho condition of his bill, and waxed wroth. This morning, under a question of privilege, lie called the attention of the House to the fact, and intimated that thcro had been tampering with the bill. The tampering was his own blundering.

However, the vote was reconsidered and the provision restored, when the bill was again put on its passage. All tho Kings County members oxcept Henry and Hodges voted for it. Mr. Henry said that he voted against it because it was unjust to tho firemen who had served fourteen or fifteen years, for whom nothing was done, while there was ex treme regard for green men. But for the amendments that wero made to tho bill he should havo voted for it.

Tile other Kings County members, afraid of the fire men's influence on next Election day, voted aye. So the bill is passed again, for tho country member followed the majority of tho Kings County members. George H. Lindsay has introduced a bill providing for the compensation of Andrew Zeizer for legal services and other expenses incurred over tho contest for office of Commissioner of Charities between him and Moses Kessel. The Board of Supervisors is directed to pay tho amount on presentation of itemized bill within a limit of three thousand dollars.

An Associated Press dispatch from Helena, says: "The gauge this morning shows 4(3 feet 4 inches, a decline of 1 inch during the night A lino of skin's has been started bctweeu this point, Johnstown aud Clarks dalc, and flatboats are delivering goods back through the country in the accessible streams, and tho Pacific and Southern Express companies havo resumed heir regular runs over the St.

Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad. Business is generally resuming. For tho first timo in many years there is a swift current coming down the shore, indicating a disposition on the part of the river to again change its chauliel in this vicinity. Should this occur, tho big bar in front of Helena will be greatly diminished, if not washed away, wliile the present channel of tho rivcrwill again fill up." THE HERALD OHIO FLOOD FUND. Edward F.

Weeks and Cuyler K. Sanborn, two liveiy and pushing boys residing in tho upper part of tho city, conceived tho idea of doing something In their way to aid tho sufferers by the recent Western floods. Ono of them has a magic lantern, So, organizing ihemselves into an executive committee of two they published in their neighborhood that a Magic Lantern Exhibition of extraordinary character would bo given at No. 47 New York avenue, last Saturday afternoon. Tickets at ten cents each were sold in nearly all the households on the Hill.

The exhibition was held, and tho receipts amounted to $13, which was handed to the Eagle for the Herald Fund yesterday afternoon. That magic lantern has done praiseworthy work, so have the boys. THE WEATHER. PROBABILITIES. W'AsiiliiGTON, T.

Another Adjournment of the Motion for a New Trial Intimation that Defendant May Change Front.

This morning beforo Mr. Justice Pratt at Special Term of tho Supreme Court, the motion was to be heard for a new trial In the suit of Mary Alice Al mout Livingston against Henry Fleming, on the ground of newly discovered evidence. Mr. Merritt Sawyor wae ready for the plaintiff. Mr.

DeWitt for tho defendant was not ready, on account of the prolonged indisposition of Judge Tracy. Mr. Sawyer was willinc that the motion should be postponed, but he thought that the plaintiff ought to bo allowed to enter judgment, and that an extra allowance should be granted. Mr. IluWilt would go on, he said, on Saturday or Wednesday.

Mr. Sawyer said that Mr. Fleming had cone to Europe rick, and in case of his death the plaintiff would be placed in a very embarrassing position. He thought that judgment ought to be entered with a stay. The plaintiff had waited over two months without entering judgment Its entry now would not hurt the defendant, for no transcript would be filed.

It would be a serious matter for the plaintiff if anything happoued to the defendant. Mr. De Witt said it waa ono of theso hazards to which all were subject Judge Pratt thought that the plaintiff should not be subject to such a hazard. Counsel perhaps remembered the Kalbflcisch case. Mr.

Sawyer said that if judgment was entered tho defendant would bo as well off as before aud tho plaintiff would be safe. Judge Pratt made an order granting $2,000 extra allowance, the largest furnished by law, and directing judgment to be entered as security merely, without prejudice to defendant's motion. Mr. De Witt was heard to say that tho dofendant might change front and withdraw tho motion. IIo would givo no explanation.

KJUDT, The Testimony in the Jefferson Murder Case. Dr. Grey's Examination of the Accused. Another Dissertation on InsanityThe for Believing Jefferson not insane, but Shamming Mr. Elliott Proceeds to Sum Up for his Client, The court room was again crowded this morning is the trial of Alexander Jefferson for the murder of Hicks was continued before Judge Moore, Justices Gubner and Savage and a Jury.

The opposing counsel, the Assistant District Attorney, Mr. Backus, and Mr. G. F. Elliott shook hands cordially and smilingly, like a couple of hard hitters from the shoulder about to set to.

The colored contingent in the audience remained noticeably small, there being not more than a dozen or fifteen in the audience. Dr. Daly was recalled for the defense and explained Iris testimony given yesterday in reference to insane personB writing letters, ana also to ins expressed opinion that a person making an unprovoked assault was in sane. His explanation related to tho motive. If there was no' motive the person would be undoubtedly insane, The prisoner said he did not know what he waa doing, using the phrase in special sense, as though ha did not know why he should fly in the face of the penalty and do what he did, although conscious of the act he was doing.

Uneducated persona do not know the meaning of the words they use. The court thought the explanation quite far from the question of insanity. It was simply swing that uneducated persons do not understand the right use of language. But uneducated pereons ore not necessarily insane. Q.

How did you arrive at that man's state of mind and to the conclusion that he was insane A. I searched for a motive, and finding no adequate motive, I concluded him to be insane. We are all moved by motives aud they are, where persons are sane, sufficient and adequate. In this cose the motive was trivial. The Court You aro not to make on argument as to the guilt or innocence of the man.

Witness I found also a pre existing cause for insanity in this man's ease. Dr. Daly to the Assistant District Attorney said that he was the same Daly that had invented a boiler. To Mr. Elliott he said that he had treated altogether about fifteen hundred insane patients.

They were not all incurable. Lydia Warren testified that she lived at 1.079 St Marks avenue, three and one half blocks from tne scene of the murder. She knew nothing against Jefferson prior to the murder. This closed tho case for the defense with the exception of the testimony of Mrs. McKenxie who was not present ana lor wiiom an attaenmont was issued.

INBAXIXX FROM ANOTHEB STANDPOINT IN REBUTTAL Dr. Gray was called for the prosecution. He uracticcd in Brooklyn for ton years, was connected with tho New York Polychomical Medical School, the Long Island CoUege. St, Mary's Hosrjltsl and was editor of a medical journal with an astouudingly scientific name which the doctor translated for the benefit of the Jury. It is the Journal of Xeitrolagy and Ptyehiatry.

airs. Mcnenzie, a coiorea woman, nere maae ner appearance and gave her testimony for the defense. She lives in New York and knows defendant. Knew his father and mother. His mother died in some institution, the witness did not know what one.

She was a woman that used to leave her home and cliildren and stray away. She did not drink. She would be found in places where she had no business to be and would be brought back. She died away from home. Alexander Jefferson came to the house of witness about half past eleven of the night of the murder.

He acted very strangely. He would not rit down. He said the bounds wero after him, and that he had killed a woman in Jersey. Gave him a piece to eat and ho went away and downstairs so softly that witness thought ho had not gone out of the entry or had slid down the bannisters. Does not know what the mother died of, only what her husband said she had gone to her house several times to iuquiro after her, and had learned that Bhc had been taken to tho station house for some reason or othor.

Mrs. Jefferson aud witness had been intimato and schoolgirls together. Sometimes it would be two or three weeks before her husband could find her when she strayed away from homo. Witness never saw anything strange or unusual in her conduct when she was in witness' company. Dr.

Grey resumed his testimony at tliis point. He examined Jefferson in company with Drs. Daly and Corey. Made two examinations, both times in tho Jail, tno first time In the cell, tne second time in the largo room. On tho second examination (February 20), in conjunction with Drs.

Corey and Daly, which lasted two nours, tno question lie had to determine was as to bis insanity and first as to whether he was feigning and scarcely as to whether he had a motive. He found no evidence of any insanity at aU. There was, until the latter part of the examination, a question as to whether ho had any recollection of the occurrences of the shooting. Ho said at the first examination he had no recollection. At the latter part of tho second examination ho got from Jefferson an athnisslon that he did remember tho occurrence of going to the window, shooting and rushing in ami stabbing.

Another question was as to whether he had an injury to the brain from sunstroke which he claimed to have received. Ho funnd none other than symptoms which rested on his own statement As he had mado a false statement before witness dismissed this from his mind. Dr. Corey first cxprcseod a decided opinion that the man was not insane and Dr. Daly coincided.

The examination was bv appointment with Drs. Corey and Daly, Oil tho examination and his appearanco tho witness was sorry to say that so far as medical skill could determine that fact Jefferson was perfectly sane when he committed the homicide. Cross examined Dr. Grey said ho had practiced ton years graduated iu Bellevue Hospital, in New commenced practice immediately after receiving hiB diploma; had had charge of Insane in private practice, in hospitals wlu'ch ho visited, and at one (imo at Flatbush Hospital for tho insane has had during his clinic on Long Island since 1377 never less than three or four under liis treatment down to within six months at that place, the Long Island College Hospital four or five hundred patients during seven years usually spent two hours each day in personal contact with the pa tients he had seen patients iu consultation with othor physicians at Flatbnsh and In the New York col lege which no lectures no went twice a wees, to Flatbush hia specialty is mental and nervous diseases there is no difference between these and alienism except in the opinion of those who aro not well informed as to alienism and neurology there is a difference neurology is a broader term and includes the treatment of nervous and mental diseases alienism is a lesser term applying to mental diseases alone had not devoted himself specially to nervous diseases pure and simple had had fifty cases in two years tho firat examination of Jefferson was fifteen or twenty minutes long he attached importance to this examination ho could sec the patient's face, but not his facial expression sufficiently to study it he remembers to have told Mr. Elliott that the examination was not satisfactory enough to form on opinion upon it developed tho fact that THE FELLOW WAS SHAMMING remembers the substance of the conversation asked Jefferson if ho remembered the shooting did not understand tho aUBwer, as it was given in a low tone of voice asked him if he was suffering he said ho suffered in his feet and his head then witness told Mr.

Backus that it was impossible to examine Jefferson in so dark a room, and when be spoke in so low a tone of voice he did not form his opinion that he was shamming from tho facta developed in that examination alone, but upon those fat'is and the facts gathered from tno statements mauo d.v people outsicio uot upon one fact alone, but upon ail together he got some state ments outside from Dr. Shepard some from what was sanl ol his talK in the hospital as given in the news JHVl'Cin, Him JJUIb lljlllt l.Mil IUIU the Jail; did not know that Jefferson had been instructed by counsel not to talk with any one tno tact that ne was roticent on the first interview and was not reticent at the subsequent examination, supposing it to havo been on account of advice of counsel to say nothing at tho first interview and subsequent advice to tell all ho knew, would make a difference in witness's opinion ns to whether Jclleraoii was shamming in tno nrat inter view or not on the first interview witness got out of Jefferson the facts of his previous life, intercourse with the girl, fact of sunstroke, injury to his head, etc; ho got from him nothing, about tho shooting, neither did the other physicians during an examination of an hour and a half at tho last he did nut give a full account of tho shooting his memory was clouded as to some points ho recollected going across the street to tho window of the house, firing iu, rushing in, catching hold of the girl aud Etabbing her and nothing else hfi admitted that he remembered going home to liis house before the shooting, but not what he did up to the time of going across the Btreet and filing into the window he gavo witness tho impression that he had lost all remembrance of what took place during tho interval when tho physicians left the room witness said to Drs. Corevand Daly that ho would take their opinion Dr. Corey said ho liad no doubt whatsoever about the man's sanity that he had become convinced of it shortly after entering the room to this Dr. Daly assented with a shake of the head and a I guess yes in tho conversation that ensued lie cave a confirmation of that opinion it was in the same conversation violent crimes are often the sign oi insanity, and cue person may uecome mild and rational again that is transitory mania Has had patients made insane by sunstroke.

Jefferson described, in some respects, the sym2)toms of a sunstroke a headache but no symptoms that alono would show sunstroke and nothing else, bunstrokc might occur, and the disease resulting thereform be gradual. docs not tmntt that Jefferson deceived mm uy snaiu ming. Does not think that he attempted to. Thought him rather a good natured negro. Q.

May not the exciting cause to insanity resulting from sunstroke bo very slight 7 A. Possibly but not in this case, Q. Can sunstroke pervert the nature of the man 7 A. No. Q.

Is not want of motive the tst of insanity 7 No. For tho reason that there was abundant motive. Dr. Grey related instances of crimes committed by lunatics: one who murdered a person because he did not mail a letter another case, the terror of tho English asylums, whoso keopcrs ran away from him when ho made up a face such was his reputation for diabolical cunning. This was a case given by Dr.

Buckden. One lunatic tried to murder a judge because he thought tho judge had not treated him with respect Witness took into consideration the mental peculiarities. He could, on a single examination, detennino whether a man was insane if the patient was running around tho room and talking gibberish. An Insane person, on examination, may ba found to have an excellent memory, and state circumstances of his previous life from infancy with perfect accuracy. WHY HE BELIEVED JEFFERSON TO HAVE SHAMMED Q.

State your reasons for believing Jefferson to have boen shamniing. A. He spoke in a low tone of voice, aud said he could not speak louder he stated that he had recollection OI the occurrences of the murder; then, from other sources, Dr. Shepard for one, I had reason to believo that there was no cause why he could not have spoken loud In the second interview, ho disclaimed all kuowledgo of what occurred when he had a partial recollection, and also an excellent recollection of what took piace on mat evening. Mr.

Elliott then framed a hypothetical question A colored man whoso mother died insane, who had a sunstroke, etc, the question including tho facts assumed by tho defense, and asking the witness, assuming these to be true, would he believe JeJTersou to be Insane when he committed tho homicide 7 The question was objected to as containing a hypothesis of facts not proven, such as tho death of Jefferson's mother in an insane asylum, his alleged sunstroke, etc. The court allowed the defense to put the question, with tho proviso that it should not be assumed by the jury, as it would not be by the court iu charging the jury, that those facts were proven. A. I cannot answer that question categorically in justice to myself a hereditary tendency to Insanity would have its influence in making up my opinion as to tho man's insanity; thcro may be insanity and yet the crime which a man commits may not be the outcome of tlmt hereditary tertclency that is the only way I can answer that question. Q.

Assuming those things to be truO, would It change your opinion as to tho sanity of the prisoner A. It would not. To tho District Attorney Circular insanity is a name given to a oito of inBanity characterized first, by the appearanco of symptoms of mania, where the person becomes very much excited aud then the symptoms merge into melancholia then tho patient has a lucid interval lasting possibly for weeks or months, and then tho symptoms return, followed by the mania and the melancholia. Moral Insanity is a form of insanity In which the predominant symptoms aro the perversion of the moral faculties. To Mr.

Elliott In determining whether a person can distinguish between right or wrong one has to be guided by a mau's acts, conversation aud his character iu other respects. Mr. Backus Could a person who was so intoxicated as not to know what he was doing recall his acts while so intoxicated afterward 7 A. The question answers itself. If a man is unconscious and does not know what he is doing, he can have no memory of what he did afterward.

Dr. George J. Mirrielees testified for the prosecution that he was told by Jefferson In the hoBpltalthat his mother died in a Colored Home In New York. James Moffett associated with Mr. Elliott testified for the defense that he had never heard Jefferson speak in a loud voice and had asked him often to speak louder.

This closed the testimony and the Court took a recess of an hour, after which Mr. Elliott proceeded to sum np the case for the defense. BBOPPED BEAD ON A FEBBT BBIDGE. C. Abrams, aged about 60 years, was standing on the bridge of the Houston street Ferry, on tho New York aide, shortly after 6 o'clock last evening waiting for a boat, when ha dropped dead, it is supposed from an attack of apoplexy, Tho body was removed to station bouse.

Nineteen Democratic Voters of the Third Ward. A Little Mystery Abont Enrollment Methods Which was not Satisfactorily Cleared Up. A Charge of Unfairness Which was not Specifically Denied. Nineteen members responded to a call for a meeting of the Third Word Dcmoeratlo Association, to be held at 331 Athmtio avenue, lost evening. Before the meeting was called to order considerable dissatisfaction was expressed at the frilure of the President of th Association to call a meeting since last December, thus depriving Democrats of the ward of tho opportunity to enroll as provided for by tho constitution and by laws of the Association in the months of January, February, March and April.

At ten minutes after 8 o'clock the meeting was called to order by the President, Mr. Edwin W. Ivlnu. On motion of Mr. s.

McDonald the calling of the roll was dispensed with, and on the statement of the Secretary that he had lost the minutes of tho last meeting, held in December, no action was taken in reference to them. The Chair called for report from Treasurer Ball, and that gentleman stated that he had not yet accepted the position, as thcro appeared to be some question as to the manner in which tho affairs of the association had been conducted. Mr. Green sold that it was notorious that the Republican Association of the ward sent a communication to the association asking for a comparison of the roll books, and he would like to ask the secretary if such a communication had been received. The Secretary replied that no such communication bad been received.

Mr. Green moved that a communication be sent by the association to the Republican association of the ward, with the view of bringing about a comparison of tho two roll books, so that in case any of the names ap pearing on both were Identical, they might be erased. Mr. T. B.

Ball As we have before us tho constitution and bylaws passed by the General Committee, I think it would be well to have tjjem read with the view of ascertaining whether or not some section provides for such aotlon as that suggested by Mr. Green. Mr. Groen consented to temporarily withdraw his motion. The new constitution was thon discussed, the Chair deciding that the motion of Mr.

Green waa entirely in order. PERTINENT INQUIRY. Mr. Cobson said he wanted soma information. Ha desired to know how many names were on roll at the lost regular enrollment.

He mado this Inquiry because at tho lost primary held for the election of delegates to the. State conventions tho polls were opened at four o'clock, while the polls at tho primaries held for the choico of local delegates wero opened at 1 o'clock, and no enrollment had taken place in the interval. If tho opening of the polls at 1 o'clock was Justified by the fact that there were over 500 names on the roll the mysterj was how.they got there, seeing that the required number of names had uot boon obtain up to the lost enrollment. Mr. Colsou explained that under the existing bylows primaries were ordered to commence at 1 o'clock if the roll was adorned with over 500 names, 4 o'clock being tho time specified iu cases where the register showed less thau 500 names.

Mr. J. McDonald claimed that thero hail boon an enrollment In the interval between the two primaries alluded to and appealed to Mr. Lowry to corroborate what he said. Mr.

Lowry candidly confessed that ho know of no such enrollment having taken place. The chair reminded Mr. Colson that the Goneral Committee gave permission for the enrolling of the names of Democrats who had come of age subsequent to the lost election, providing they hod certificates from tho Inspectors of Election. Mr. Green Do you mean to claim that these young men could havo had their names enrolled without ap.

pcaring in person at a meeting held for curolbueut purposes? Tho Choir Yes, I do, and some names were enrolled in that way, Mr. Green No man has a right to have his name on the book unless he appears in person, and I have a copy of the constitution and by laws governing this association and bearing mo out in what I say. In addition to that, Mr. Vau Wyck, the chairman of tho General Committee, told me that tho only way in which a man could get his name enrolled was by appearing iu person at a meeting set apart for enrollment purposes. Mr.

Colson said that Mr. Jones' statement showed there was some unfairness, because he knew of a number of Democrats who hod appeared with their certificates on the night that Mr. Ivins ordered an enrollment. Mr. IvinB had received their names, aud when they appeared at the primary to vote thoy wero not allowed to deposit their ballots, because their names were not on tho roll book.

NO ENROLLMENT. Mr. J. L. Cameron It is clear to every member of this association who takes any interest in its affairs that thero was no enrollment after tho 12th of September, and that tho expedients resorted to in order to justify tho opening of tho polls nt ono o'clock seem to bo of a donbtfnl character.

Mr. Ivins himself declared at a mectifig'uf the committee, held in the Standard Theater, that the ward association had held no enrollment in compliance with the resolution passed by the General Committee. He promised, however, that ono would take place on the following Satunlav, and the result was that many Democrats presented themselves with the expectation that their names would be enrolled. At that time Mr. Ivins took occasion to apologizo for tho abseuce of his official colleagues and the consequence that no enrollment took place.

Now I move that the seretaiy bo directed to report at tho next meeting the number of names on tho roll book and the place and date cf earJi enrollment. Mr. John McNamora moved to amend that the roll book be adopted as it stood. Mr. Colson asked Mr.

McNamara if he understood him to want tho roll book adopted whether it was right or wrong. Mr. McNamara Yes, I do. Mr. Colson I don't wondor at that because that is tho fasliion in wliich vou have boon in tho habit, of do ing thincs.

Hogers acted as secretary. The committeo appointed at tho last meeting to secure new headquarters for tho association, reported through their chairman that they could secure suitablo headquarters on tho corner of Vanderbilt and DoKolb avenues. Judga Courtuey said that tho place recommended by tho committee was ovor a liquor saloon, and to occupy it would be violating tho constitution and bylaws of the General Committee. Tho report of tho commltico was received, and the committee instructed to continue their search. B.

F. VnnVnlkcnbcrg, treasurer, reported that ho had received at the last meeting of tho association $5.42, and had expended $30.35, leaving a balance on hand of $30.07. Mr. Fogarly, treasurer of the Committee of One Hundred and Fifty on reorganization, reported that he had collected $35, which he had expended. A motion was made that the association go into the election of a delegate to tho General Committee to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of E.

B. Lansing. Mr. Hubl ard nominated George M. Nichols.

Justice Courtney seconded the nomination, ond in so doing said that it was such mon as Mr. Nichols they wanted to get into the General Committee. Mr. Nichols, said Justico Courtney, was a gentleman who only took an interest in politics becauso lie wanted to see his party successful. Mr.

Hubbard was also nominated, but he declined, and Mv. Nichols was then declared uuauimously elected. The following gentlemen were appointed as an Investigating Committee Messrs. John McQuillan, Thomas Fogarty, James De Vine, P. F.

Those gentlemen were appointed at the meeting of the Bridge Trustees on Monday, as a committee to prepare a bill for presentation to tho Leg islature in reference to the control and management of the bridge after Its completion. Acting president Kingsloy was namod as one of the committee but de clined to serve. Tho question of tho future control of the bridge gave rise to a spirited discussion at the meeting of the Board, and the result of the proceedings of the committee will be awaited with interest by the public, OLD TIMES REVIVED John Flanagan, who was Mr. Tonney'a immediate predecessor aa Keeper of the City Hall fifteen years ago, was at tho Municipal Building to day. Be found a now set of politicians and officials around.

A riond said to him "Well, John, thlngB dontlook as they used to when yon were around here. Thoy havo a now Keeper of the Hall. I suppose you have seen." "Yes," replied Mr. Flanagan sadly, "times have changed very much from the days when Kalbfleiach was Mayor and Bob Furey was street Commissioner." MB. DAGGETT AS A OTVIi SEB VICE BEFOBMEB.

Ex 8herriff Daggett is entering into the civil service reform work with remarkable vigor. He contributed considerably to the discussion of that question in the Republican General Committee last night, and while at the City Hall this morning, gavo a further expression of his viows. He said the people who were independent of party were demanding that the offices should be filled with reference to the ability of men to fill them, not with reference to their ability to run primaries, etuff ballot boxes or having their teeth knocked out, simply because of their politics. Tho troublo was that tho ad vocates of civil service reform, as a rule, were not posted as to workings of city departments and could not believe that a practical politician is honest when he agreed with them on the principles of civil service reform gen erally. It was tho doss of men who got places solely on account of their political works, who opposed any civil service reform.

Of course they objected to any examination' which would reveal their Incompetence. Kefcrring to the action of the General Committee on the question, he said that ho feared these reform measures would be rejected unless the vote should be taken by ayes and nays, because othcrwiso the names of the opponents would not appear on the record, and they could safely vote against them. Referring to the Cub tom Houbo civil aervico examinations, Mr. Daggett said he thought that the standard was too high for the positions to be filled. For instance, night inspectors who were called upon to prevent the removal from vessels of property which had not paid duty, were examined in geography, mathematics and ancient history, but were not questioned on matters which would properly occur in connection with their duties.

The best weigher in the two cities failed of examination because ho could not satisfactorily answer questions as to tho battles for the Union in Tennessee, the best routos to San Francisco and other matters with which ho was not familiar and which had no relation to his duties. The fact that he was a fine mathematician aud had had ten or twelve years' experience at his business went for nothing. WOItK ON THE BRIDGE.

George Swift's contract for street cleaning and removing ashes was broken by the Commissioners of City Works and Health to day.

Thero Wa3 a formal examination of tho matter by tho Commissioucrs and tho Corporation Counsel, and no defense was made. The Corporation Counsel will confer with Mr. Swift's bondsmen, with the view of having them do tho work until tho city shall have procured legislation on the subject. A bill has been sent to Albany, authorizing the Board of Estimate to fix an amount for the work. Tho fact that the sum which has been allowed, $70,000 a year, is altogether too small for the proper performance of the work.

Commissioner Hopes has done the best ho cuuld under the circumstances, and he thinks tho contractor has done the same. Mr. Swift has lost money on the contract which has been running a couplo of year. Commissioner Bopes said to day, that iu his opinion the sum of at least $150,000 a year would bo necessary to have the streets kept in good condition and tho ashes properly removed, but, of course he could not say how much would bo allowed. One tiring, however, ho was certain of, and that was ho did not intend to enter upon another Summer such as he had last year when he had to enduro constant complaints about dirty streets, knowing that the work could not be well performed for tho money allowed.

He could not get one dollar of relief, for tho reason that there was no charter provision applicable. Should the biU sent up to Albany become a law tho Board of Estimate will meet at once to provide an appropriation, and tho Commissioners will make another contract. Senator Jacobs has charge of tho bill, and the Mayor telegraphed to day to introduce it, as Mr. Swift's contract had been broken. Police Commissioner Jourdan was also at tho meeting tliis morning.

Tho action breaking the contract was unanimous. MISSING. Important Papers Filed in a Suit Just Trleil A Defendant Gets Judgment, and tho Lease and Other Documental iu Support of ISis Case Disappear. Hgnry Parker has been endeavoring for the ast two years to eject Frederick Lanwcrsicek from tho possession of wo lots in Flatbnsh. The complaint in plaintiff's action alleges defendant's wrongful occupancy and prays for his ojectment from tho premises and for an injunction to restrain hlni from commencing summary proceedings.

Judgo Gilbert decided thit the plaintiff was not on titled to such injunction, but sent tho qucscion of ejectment to tho Circuit for trial. It appeared upon the trial of tho action, before Judgo Cnllen and a jury, that tho defendants claimed under a lease for ten years, unsealed and unrecorded, and made by a person not at tho timo owner of tho fee but in two dmls of the premises, tho lease was recited, and as tiie plaintiff.was bjnnd by the recitals, the court directed the jury" to find a verdict for the defendant. Tho plaintiff then applied for a now trial, aud tho case eame up again before Judge Cullen, without a jury, and was tried auew. Plaintiff's counsel then for the first time relied upon the lease, the existence of which they bad strenuously denied before, and they claimed that thoy were entitled to this remedy because, of default in payment of rent Judgo Cullen has just filed his decision, to tho effect that under his complaint tho plaintiff is riot entitled, at this stage of the proceedings, to relief on that ground, and therefore has given judgment for the defendant. With the decision was filed a number of papers, including the lease.

Plaintiff's counsel says ho examined the decision in the County Clerk's office soon Bfter its rendition, aud since that 'time tho leaio and other documents in support of defondsut's title have disappeared, Doputy County Clerk Barnard expresses great indignation and declares that he will refer tho matter to tho District Attornov. This is the second if not the third tune that papors affecting important litigation have been removed within a snort penoa irom me omco oi mo uounvy Clerk. For Tilainf iff. Henry St. Hateh and S.

A Fireman Lokch Ilia Life Whilo Ile sponding' to a False Alarm. A telegraphic dispatch received at Police Headquarter, New York, thiB forenoon, announced the killing of Fireman Edward Vinerlotte, of Hook and Ladder Company No. 4, while responding to an alarm of fire from Seventh avenuo and Fif ty stxth street. The alarm was rung at a quarter past 8 o'clock tliis morning and proved to bo false. A puff of smoke from tho house No.

851 Seventh avenue had given rise to the report. Hook and Ladder Company No. 4 was among tho first to rospond to tho fire. Its quarters aro at No. 788 Eighth avenue.

Tho horses wero urged into a gallop and the heavy track rattled over the pavement, the men clinging to their Beats with difficulty. In front of the Eighth avenue Railroad Stables tho jolting on the switching tracks gave tho truck a sudden and violent wrench. Yinciletto loBt his grip and was flung violontly forward to the ground. He fell directly under the truck and one of the hind wheels ran over his body, killing him on the spot. Aid was brought, but was of no use.

The body was carried back to tho company's quarters and tho Coroner Bent for. Yinciletto had been a fireman since August 21, 1808, and has a wife and children, who live at No. 479 Ninth avenuo, and are plunged into the deepest grief. A C0JIIX0 CONCERT. The members of the Brooklyn Saengerhund are not in the habit of 'doing things by halves.

They determined to give a concert in behalf of tho sufferers in Indiana and Ohio, and resolved that their appeal in behalf of the Western people visited by the flood should have strong support. Ono of the re sults of their activity Is that Miss Thursby's services havo been procured. Tho concert is to bo given in the Academy of Music, on the 19th Inst, when a chorus of fifty voices will bo heard. Miss Thursby is easily equal to the task of insuring the success of any entertainment, but the potancy of her voice is not exclusively relied upon. In addition to the chorus already alluded to thero will be selections by Miss Ida Mollenhauer and Miss Jonaona Mollenhauer, whose claims to celebrity as pianists, have been substantiated by some remarkable performances.

Among other artists who have volunteered to appear are Messrs. William 8. Mockbridgo, Frederick Steins, Henry Mollenhauer and Maurice 8trakosch, none of whom will need tho formality of on Introduction to Brooklyn oudienoe. MM MM II MM MM II MM II MM II At II MM II I. MM If II I.

The Close of the Murray Investigation. Some Testimony Which Convinced the ex Matron of the Penitentiary that the In (jniry had Gone Far Enough Why the Case was Suddenly Closed. Tho Murray investigation came to a very sudden termination at the Penitentiary yesterday after, noon, Ono of the Commissioners, Mr.

Kissani, was sick, but liis colleagues, Messrs. Beeve and Van Siclcn, were promptly in attendance, and Mr. Green was ready with his witnesses at the hour appointed. Mrs. Murray was accompanied by her husband.

The ox matron is about 34 years of ago, Is very ladylike in general demeanor and dresses with unexceptionable taste. Her personal attractions ore beyond dispute, A rather prominent nose and a somewhat severe expression, Boftoncd, however, at will, would not prevent her from becoming the focuB of general attention in many circles. Her behavior on the witness stand was to some extent remarkable. At no loss for an answer, whatever the character of the question, her faculties for evasion and retort responded without apparent effort When Mr. Van Siclen rapped for order yesterday afternoon Mrs.

Murray was engrossed with maternal cares. A bright little boy of 0 or 7 was caressed with much affection, tho lady's solicitude for his welfare becoming intensified in proportion to the attention it elicited. The inquiry was resumed with very little ceremony. FOUB WITNESSES took the stand in about as many minutes. They wero aU youug and all of the gentler sex, being employes of the Bay State Shoe Company.

In their behalf the Commissioners especially requested that no names should; bo published. One of them testified to having written, at the instance of Mrs. Murray, a dispatch to Sheeny Irving making an appointment to meet that gentleman nt the corner of Nostrand and Myrtle avenues. Her companions added conclusive testimony Bhowing that the ex matron had had letters addressed and transmitted to Mr. Irving and Frank Watsouwho was formerly a convict iu tho Penitentiary.

Tho girls told their stories ill afashion so straightforward and unhesitating that Mr. Wernberg, Mrs. Murray's counsel, ventured a littlo or no cross examination. During the brief interval of silence which followed the departure of the witnesses, Mr. Wernberg was engaged in a whispered conversation with his client In tho meantime Mr.

Green procured tho attendance of Mrs. Quinn, ono of the matrons of the institution. She was not called upon to take tho Btand. It had been asserted that Mrs. Murray bad sent dispatches to the criminals, and that she had also corresponded with them through the mails.

Mr. Wernberg bos been more than equal to a variety of emergencies, and has been known to make tho best of some rather compromising cases. The conference with Mrs. Murray was of rather short duration. Just as Mrs.

Quinn was about to take the witness stand he asked the Commissioners to pardon him. He had ADVISED HIS CLIENT, he Baid, to withdraw her demand for an investigation. Several witnesses had made statements which it was impossible to contradict with any more emphasis than that involved in Mrs. Murray's denial, and nndcr the circumstances he could not see the utility of proceeding further. Commissioner Heove asked whether Mrs.

Murray wanted to be understood as requesting that tho inquiry be discontinued and Mr. Weinberg's response was a prompt sffiraiative. Commissioner Van Siclen submitted that tho Board had beeu actuated simply by a desire to do justice to Mrs. Murray. If that lady had, ho said, been able io provo her innocence, no one would havo boon more gratified than the Commissioners.

As it wos thcro was only one legitimate termination to the case. Thero was no use proceeding any further. With this conclusion Commissioner Iteevo coincided, and tho ease was dropped. Mr. Wernberg acknowledged the courtesy with which ho had been treated, and tho Commissioners returned the compliment with an intimation flattering to Mr.

Weinberg's ability as a lawyer and to his instincts as a gentleman. HOMEY MARKET. Wall Stiieet, March It 3 P. M. Among the sales this afternoon were New Orleans and Pacific 1st, 87Jiu88 Erie funding 5b, 05 New York, Lackawanna and Western 1st, 113f St.
