April 14 The suit of David H. Seaman and James K. Hicks, election Inspectors of Jericho, against the Brooklyn Daily Eagle for $10,000 damages each, before Justice Martin J. Keogh and a jury at the trial term iu tho Queeus county court house 'yesterday, resulted in a verdict of 6 cents for the plaintiffs. The jury first brought in a verdict la favor of the defendant, but his honor found that there had been technical libel, and the jury then corrected its verdict.

Seaman and Hicks are the Republican election Inspectors who, at the spring election of last year, refused a Democratic voter named 'James O'Brien, almost totally blind, an assistant In the polling booth. For this they were held for the grand jury, whioh failed to indict them. The Eagle was led into the erroT of stating that they had been indicted, and though the mistake was subsequently corrected Hicks and Seaman each brought suit through Royal S. Crane for $10, 000. All the allegations made by the Eagle in reference to the conduct of Hlc.ks and Seaman in disfranchising a blind voter were proved on the trial to have been true.

They admitted their ignorance of the law and acknowledged that they had told the blind man that the law regarding the disability oath had been changed, whereas it has remained the same since 1S02. The Eagle was represented by Bergen Dykman. HELEN NICHOL WAS SECOND. THE AMERICAN WINNER PLACED IN THE VISITORS' PLATE.

McNamara Charged His Stepson With an Attempt to Kill, but the Testimony Was All Against Him Did He Threaten to Cut Off a Poisoned Smile" With a Hatchet? A Pathetic Story Told by Wife and Children. John McNamara of 1,416 Broadway got hlmr self into a peck of trouble by bringing his stepsou, Charles Hoffman, before Justice Har riman this morning on charge of threatening to kill the plaintiff. McNamara had no xvit dtiieh. irp ed rind ATn 'a ma 0. admonished to be careful that he keep peace future, and there is more trouble brewing jjm at jjome McNamm is a gray haired, stalwart and rather good looking old man.

He said that April 12 his son spoke harshly to a. three year old child, and wheu McXamara retuon SWOPe an(J threatened to ffiE Ho'S too'stand and said tn tne oiu man nail tnreateneu to lane nis me, and he, Hoffman, had ouly laughed at him. This infuriated the father and hot words had followed. The whole quarrel at that particular time began over the coughing of the baby, Mc.N'amara's only child. "Your honor, that man has not done a bit work for two years.

The day after he said threatened to kill him he laid for me with hatchet and said he'd cut the poisoned smile my face. He abuses my mother, and I told him if he didn't stop I'd fire him out. He can do what he likes to me, but he must keep his hands off my sisters and mother or he'll be sorry. I work, my sisters work and my mother takes iu washing." Sarah Hoffman, a neat looking little girl of 13, took the stand and after a few words burst ou't crying. She was calmed and then told how liter stepfather was mad because her mother wouldn't turn her children out; how he insulted her 17 year old sister and struck his wife.

She sai she worked in a store New York, her brother was a blacksmith and her eldest sister worked in Brooklyn. "And all day long my inouher washes to keep my father and give him clothes." Justice Harrlman called McNamara back and told him it was evident he was most oiame ana ne must go uacK and make amends for his conduct. Turning to the boy, his honor said: "Can't your mother get along peacefully with this man?" "She don't want him around. Judge, and we want to get rid of mm. He began to abuse "How are you going to get rid of him.

You must remember you owe some respect to the man your mother married." "We'll chuck him out," the boy said, to the amusement ot the court and spectators. The case was dismissed. Mrs. ileNamara said afterward: "I want the truth in this case, that's all. Charley didn't say he'd kill you and you know it." turning to McNamara, who left, disgusted.

Then his wife continued: "I married him four years ago when he was boarding with me. He was a keeper on Blackwell's island then and he said he could take care of me and the children and then he had no friends and I was sorry for him. But he never did a thing or if he got a place he'd get tired. I have stood everything, but he wanted to get rid of the Hoffmans. as he called my children, but he won't get rid of them.

He has struck me several times, but I warned him if he did again a Kin mm ana win, if he does it again. I don't want to go to law, because I don't like the law. but as soon as I have a lit tie money together we'll go ork and leave him to shift quietly oft to New for himself. Is he strong? He brought up a tub the other day few men could lift, and then got mad anu nreu it a own tue stairs and He knocked the panels out of our door another day with one blow. Oh! he'll be sorry for his little tourt act, never fear." DENTISTS AT DINNER.

The mayor has many to choose from, and almost any man would be willing to accept an offer for such an honorary place. It is not believed that the mayor has yet given any serious consideration to the subject. THE SERVISS LECTURES. FINE COURSE BEING REPEATED AT ASSOCIATION HALL. Garrett P.

Serviss' illustrated lectures on foreign lands, given in Association hall, under the auspices of the Brooklyn institute, during Lent, proved to be a remarkable success in the field of popular lectures in Brooklyn. The hall was packed from the stage to the rear wall of the gallery at every lecture and the demand for standing room was so large and unceasing that the ushers had no lilcle difficulty in placing the seat I holders. Hundreds were turned away, un able to secure accommodation, and in cause quence the lectures are now being repeated for the general public, as well as for the in stitute members, in Association hall, Saturday afternoons. Their attractiveness and the singular charm which they exercise over the audience, are shown by the fact that many who listened to the entire course in the evenings of Lent, are now returning to hear the same lectures again Saturday afternoons. The second series of the matinee course (including what many regard as the most novel and dramatically interesting lecture of all, that on Napoleon) begins on Saturday of this week.

This series comprises, "Italy," "Napoleon" and "Holland," all finely illustrated and presented In the lecturer's happiest and most original manner. ELEVEN PASSENGERS INJURED.

Ran kea's acquaintance. In a conversation with Mrs. Ranken the witness said Mrs. Ranken told her she was going to take the place of housekeeper for Mr. Webb and witness remonstrated that Mrs.

Ranken was foolish to break up housekeeping to do that. Thereupon the plaintiff had replied that she could make more money for herself and her husband in that way than they could make in a life time. Mr. Webb would will her some of his prcperty and she would have more money to spend. There was a will made by Mr.

Webb in favor of Miss Seymour in which Miss Seymour was to get the house and contents, $5,000 in money and $2,000 in bonds. Mr. Webb was getting old and would not live long and she would get Mr. Webb to alter his will in her favor. Mrs.

and Mrs. Ranken. in which the plaintiff said to her husband that if he did not cause trouble to rMs. Ranken the plaintiff would give him one half of all the money she got from Mr. Webb.

He had not changed his will in her favor, but she would get him to do so in a week. Mr. Ranken, it was arranged, should appear at Mr. Webb's house as Uncle John. On another occasion witness was plaving cards with Mr.

Webb and Mrs. Ranken in Mr. "Webb's house, tho witness saw through the window Mr. Ranken standing outside the house on the sidewalk. Mrs.

Ranken excused herself and went out. She was gone two hours and on her return she told witness privately that she had been walking with her husband and had had some ice cream. She visited the house very frequently and took her meals there. Mrs. Ranken attended to air.
