BlRKETf'8 BILL APPROVED. SIRS. JONAS LOSING HOPE. AT BUFFALO. FELL AND DIED i WHITE IS OUT.

gEHD IK TOUB EA8TEB HUSIC. Choir masters, conductors and organists I O'CLOCK EDfflOI MB. RICHARDSON DEFENDS HIMSELF. Tbo President of tiio Atlantic Avenue Road Before an Alderuianlc Committee. The Aldermanio Committee on Bailronds last night gave a hearingon the proposition to have removed tho tracks controlled by tho Atlantic avenue Company on Beaver, Tark and othor streetB, and to have Central avenue, between Ivy street and Flushing avenue, put in good condition.

It may be remembered that Commissioner Conner tore up tho tracks of tho Atlantic avonue Company on Central avenuo.the carriageway boing loft so obstructed that vehicles cannot pot in thoro. It is now proposed to havo tho company clear the avenue at Its own expense. President William Richardson, who Just returned from a sovea weeks' trip to South Carolina, appeared before tho committeo and paid his rospoets to Mr. Connor in a lively raBhtoil. Ho also said, speaking of tbo doublo track in Park Btreot, that ho had novor claimed the right to lay tracks unless the law porraittod him.

Tho Atlantic avenue Railroad Company had nothiug to do with It. They had taken the lease of the ProBpect Park and Conoy Island Railroad Company and paid them $21,000 for these privileges. "Wo sublet our lease to tho cable road," ho continuod, "as wo thought that the Johnson and Dupont patent would provo a success. We did get tho wrlttou consents of tho property owu ers to lay doublo tracks along tho lino, Including Park and Locust streets, so that tlie property owners at least havo no reason to complain bocauso a double track was laid on ono of the streets." Mr. Richardson mado the point that whore a railroad cempany gets tho consent of the Common Council to lay tracks and tho consent of the property owners it practically bocomos a legislative grant, and the Common Council, by a stmplo resolution and tho consent of the Mayor, has no right to revokeit.

FuTgneson Encounters a Little Opposition, but Hat No Trouble in flWcom iasr It The retvfrn of John Y. McKane find Cornelius Furgueaon to tho General Committee was regardod as a foregone conclusion, but It wa3 none the less au Interesting topic to Democrats areund tho public bulldlugs to day. Interest conterod In the case of Mr.

MeKano on account of the prominence of tho man, and the general expression ahowed that the feeling of gladness which he eutor talns at being roatorod to good Btandlng In tho organization is fully reciprocated by party mon, who rejoice at tho prospect of harmony In tho Important campaign of nert year. As a mattor of fact, MoKane is too big a factor in tho Democratic politics of this couuty to fool with, nnd while, for the sako of party discipline, it was considered necessary to mako a show of resentment of hie aotions last Fall the fact that thoro was no opposition whatever offered to his return indicates that the loaders are only too glad to get him back again. The situation demonstrates that McKane is now stronger than ever, aud thorp were Borne Democrats found to day who prophesied that in the not romoto future he would pop up as caudidate for somo fat county office. "You need not be surprised at it," said ono of thorn, "for you know that it is the kickors who got offlcos." If ifr. McKane has any such ambition ho certainly has taken pains not to inllmato it.

Ho was about the Court House to day and rocelvod the congratulations of his friends at the rosultB of the primary. Whatever may be the feeling of satisfaction because of his return to the fold it does not arise, so far as loading Democrats aro concerned, from any particular affection for him. They simply regard his restoration to political good fellowship as a matter of policy as something not to bo opposed. Friends of McKane say, howovor, that ho could havo returned to tho General Cominittoe dosplto any opposition of the leaders, aud that any talk to tho ontrary is absurd. Thoy think that tho bost thing to do is to accept the situation as it is and go forward to tuo work of puttiug tho party in tho boat possible shape for the Presidential campaign.

A FATAL DRUG. The Mysterious Poisoning of Miss Lizzie Finerty. What Dr. Sliopar i Discnrored Wlien Ke Came to Make a Post Mortem Examination of the Remains. Another mysterous death by poisoning, similar iu many respects to the Morris case, was brought to light lato yestorday afternoon in South limoklyn.

The vietim was Lizzie Finorty, a plump and pretty young womau, 20 years of ago, wiio lived with hor widowed mother, two brothers and a sls'erat 101 Butler stroot. She died on Thursday, shortly before midnight. Dr. A. W.

Shopird made Wl post mortem examination of tho body yesterday afternoon and fouud ovidoncos that doath was tho result of poisoning. Tiio unfortunate girl was of a choerful and light hoarted disposition. Sho was employed in Buchanan fi Lyall's mills until tbo recent explosion of the large boiler thoro was the causo of throwing a number of tho operatives out of employment. Lizzt'o, siuco thou, has not been engaged in any occupation. Weduosdny morning sho helped hor mother to do some and aftor dinner donned her hat and cloak and bost clothes and sai she would go out for a little while.

She did not return until 8 o'clock lu the evening. Then she seemed to bo lu her usual spirits, and played and romped for a while with her brothers and sisters. She carriod home with tier a package cf peanuts, which sho divided among them. At o'clock she retired to bod with her sis tor Ylaggio. Sho arose at 8 o'clock tho followiug morning, but declined any breakfast, Baying that ibo had a head icr.o.

She did not theu complain of feeling vory ill, but as tho morning woro on she grew worse and her mother gave her somo medicine. A hont 12 o'clock sho was soizod with violent pains in lhe stomach and began to vomit Sho did not Improvo during tho afternoon and the vomit ingcontinued. Toward 11 o'clock at night sho lapsed into unconsciousness and tho family, becoming thoroughly alarmed, hastily summoned Dr. A. Itosa of Union street.

Ho was too lato, however, to reader her any assistance, and a fow minutes after his arrival sho breathed her last. Dr. Shepard has mado tho following report of tlie result of tho autopsy made by him: I mado a post mortem examination of the body of tho deceased on March lbrS; I tound no oxternal marks of violeuce, with the exception of au oxcoria tlon of the vermilion border of both lips; on opening the body I found this excoriated condition to extend over tho mucous mombrano lining tbe mouth, tongue and stomach and even burning to some extent tho lining membrane of the smaller intestinos for a distaucu of several inches from tho pylorus; tho liver was somowhat falty, and granular degeneration of the kidiiej had sec hi; all tiio other organs wero healthy; thoro wore evidences that tho decease ha been a mother some lime ngo; in my opinion death resulted from the effects of corro ivo poisouiog. Dr. Shepard is unable to say what poison was used, but is of tho opinion that it was either oxalic or prussic acid.

This cannot be determined uutil tho contents of the jdy shall have beou submitted to a ohoniical analysis. The polico found a numbor of bottles in the houso containing mediciuu aud drugs and a box of white piils. Among the bottl03 was a sninll two drachm vial of a mixture of chlo ruform and aconite. This was half full. Dr.

Shepard, however, docs not think that death was caused by taking any of it. Tho contents of tho bottles and tho pills will be aualyzed. The family of the girl say that she did not eat anything afior returning homo ou Wednesday. Slio did not say whero sho had been an I thoy aro unable to account for hor death. She was hot involved in any loye affair to their knowledge.

An Eagl1 reporter called at their houso to day. Thoy occupy threo rooms on the first Aoor of a two story and basement framo house.

To tho. Editor of the Brooklyn Kaglt In relation to tho inspection of steam boilers the law since 1874 has been that parties who iu3iiro their boilers lu oither of the companies authorized for the purpose aro exempt from tho regular city inspection. A bill has boon introduced info tho Senato and Assembly to amend Chapter the Laws of 1S73, which, if carried, will continue the city Inspection, with the iusuraneo inspection, witli a charge of This latter Itom could be mado a regular tax for tiio same funds as provided in tho hill; but parties who aro owners of steam boilers aud pivfur tho inspection of an insurance company feel that it will bo vory unfortunato to have too many cooks lo superintend the broth' In my own experience the companies mako four times as many inspections in a year as does tho city, and ii is only natural to expect that a company who aro responsible to the amount of thousands of dollars will bo fully as careful and exacting as the city inspectors whoro tho direct ilnanc'ml Interest Is limited to $2. It is not only proper but uocessary to life ttiat evory boiler In tho city oven thoso for heating purposes in flats and private houso should have regular inspection, but certaiuly tho city can rest assured that the companies will take good care that their patrons do not run risks which Voald bo against their interests. 1 hope the K.v.iUJ will do vu tho itt sr of suiU ciont importance to consider the propriety of preventing us, if possible, from being ruinod by too much iitspeciitn.

Despite the strenuous efforts of his friends and the detectives of Brooklyn and Now York, tho whereabouts of Jacob Jonas, tho prosperous tobacco dealer of tho Eastern District, who suddenly disappeared from his homo on February 21, Is still a mystory. Mr. Jonas was a steady, thoroughgoing business man nnd divided his spare time between tho comforts of his homo and the lodgo rooms of the various Hebrew sociotles of which ho was a momber, and through which lie carried a heavy llfo insuranco on the eo operatlve plan.

Mr. Jonas' 19 year old son, Nathan, through bis gambling habits brought disgrace upon his family. Ho was a clerk In tho firm of Aslel stockbrokers, of 51 Exchango place, New York. He won several thousand dollars from Liquor Dealer HPff inan. Tho story of Hoffman's refusal to pay "nd the subsequent settlement for f500 has alroady boon publishod in tho Eagi.k.

Young Jonas was Immediately discharged by his employers. An investigation afterward, it is said, showed a shortage of sovoral thousand dollars. Tho firm put tho caso in tho hands of tho dotect ivoa, but the young man had left town and his whereabouts could not bo ascertained. This unpleasant oplsodo sorely griovod his paront3 and tho friends ot Mr. Jonas bollovo thaf.

Will All Who Join It be Marked Men Auctioneer Kerrifran'a IneiTeetive Pro test Gatlierinjr Strength. Considerable attention has been attracted to the formation of tho Democratic Coutral Association wltlt a constitution which says: This associallou may withhold Its indorsement of any regular Democratic candidate Tho work of organizing this uo.v factor in Brooklyn politics bogau vory quietly six weoks ago.

In fact the work up to wituiu a fortnight past was conducted with such eeeroey that only tho faintost suggestion that something was ou foot gained any currency. Meetings woro hold in private houses. The attendance at thoso conferences increased at each mooting by tho addition of a fow trusted and enthusiastic mon, all of whom woro known oppononts of tho existing management uf the party lu tho oily, until at a recent meeting at a house in Lafayette avenue thoro wore prosont thirty representatives of different organizations. A contrnl commlttoo was then formed, with W. P.

Ferguson as temporary chairman aud U. J. Riloy temporary socretary. A committeo was appointed to visit tho various wards and county towns with papers containing a brief ouf Hno of tho constitution which the organizers had adopted. In evory ward in which Alteon signatures could bo obtained to these papers award division will bo formed.

After this has beou dono eaeh of thoso divisions will bo ontitlod to a representation in tho association, consisting of four delogages, including tho president of Iho This Visiting Committeo has boon vory industriously, but also vory quietly, at work for the last fortnight iu all tho wards aud county towns. They have secured tho proper registration for organizing iu tiio following wards: Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Seventeenth, Nlnotoeulh, Twenty first, Twotuy third, Twotily Aftu New Utrecht. All of those will havo held meotings and affected their organization, by the election of dllic ors aud delegates, before the 1st of April. Tho Seventh Ward, which organized night before last by swallowing whole tho Seventh Ward Young Men's Democratic Club, nlroady claims 350 members. An episode at this mooting that may throw somo light ou tho intentions of tlie organizers of tho movement was as follows: Among thoso present at tho meeting was Mr.

Thomas Kerrigan, of Willoughhy stroot. Ho was a silent listener to tho reading of tho constitution until Die clause quoted was read. Kerrigan objected to this article. Its adoption would bo undemocratic; in fact, It placed the association lu apparent niiaigoiihin to iho regular Democratic organization. Tho new association was willing to submit to this interpretation and tho constitution was promptly adopted.

Mr. Kerrigan, however, did not subscribe to it Tho Twenty llflh Ward division, which has also mot and organized, num bors 150 inembors, with George O'liara at the hoail. Their meeting was relieved from monotony, also, by a protest from ageutlemau who objected to Article XVII, and who declared that If it was ovor carriod into practice "every man lu this association will bo marked by tho meu who cautrol tho political destinies of this city. In the Sixth Ward, whoro a meeting will be held to uight to organize, a largo number have subscribed to tho request tor admittance to tho asBociation. Thero is a rumor of trouble over the selection of officers and delegates in this ward, owing to tho diu'oroueo of opinion between tho members of a society Hint aspect to uuito in a body with tho now organization and thoso outside this socioty who do not think it ought to have entire control.

Tho Twonty Arat warders interested in tho movement will also meet to night for organization. This will bo an entirely now association. Ona of tho mon most active in tho work iu tho Twenty first Ward is Mr. E. O'Connor.

In tho Twelfth Ward, where tho indopeudout Denio cralie voters havo proved very strong, a largo number of names havo been obtaiuod, as nlso is tho case iu tho Eighth. In New Utrecht the committeo who prosecuted tho work of organization report that a strong organization will bo formed within a few days. Moro thau half of the Citizens' Association of Bath Beach havo signed tho committee's paper. Tho Executive Committeo of the association has a room at Diotor's, iu which they will meet twice a woek until all tho wards in the city have beou given au organization. The loaders are still reluctant to givo loo much information regarding their plans, but they claim that the movement is meeting with greator succosa than they anticipated.

Chairman Ferguson Bald at tho meeting Thursday uight that nothing could prevent it becoming a power lu politics of tho city except "troachory ou tho part of its leaders." When asked if tho intention of tho association is to antagonize tho regular organization tho answer 1b cut and dried: "Wait and you will seo." THE REMOVAL OF THE ASHES. Commissioner Attains Having Work Done at the Contractor's Eipeuse. Commissioner Adams to day ordered Superintendent Sterling to put men at work removing ashoa in the Fourth, Fifth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Twonty Arat, Twenty third aud Twenty flflh wards, where Contractor Clirfc has boon derelict. The work will bo dono at tho expense of Mr. Clark.

Reports received at the department to day showod that tho Third is tho only ward whoro tho ashes have been wholly carted away; bul that tho First, Second, Tenth, Sixieouth, Seventeenth aud Twenty second will be clearod to day. Commissioner Adams says that thoro is uo exenso for tho contractor, who had promisod to put onough men and carts ou to remove all tho ashea by tho end of tho woek. Tho Commissioner will do well to overhaul the contractor for tho careless manner in which the men do tho work. Iu hundreds of Instances yesterday, they anattered tho ashes all over the sidewalks and Btreets, smashed barrels aud raised ructions generally. Tho department's ordors are that the carta, shall not bo ovorloadod and that oaeh shall be cov orod to prevent the contents from blowing or dropping Into tho streots.

Those orders aro coustantly violated. TnE HORSE WAS KILLED. A illad Runaway ou tbe Bridge ISnfclieti Against the Gate. Bridge Policeman Sinuott stood at gate of the roadway for toams coming toward Brooklyn this morning about 8:30 o'clock, with littlo to do but keep warm. He was aroused from a roverlo by the sound of horses' hoofs and tho rattlo of wheels over tho granite pavnmont approaching at a very rapid rate.

Looking up tho roadway ho. saw a big horse attached to a milk wagon bearing down toward Saada stroet at lightning spoed.

The coat for Winter will be a straight sack, but for Summer, a Norfolk Jacket :0 While Passing Under the Elevated Railroad Structure. It Looks Terr Much as if a Carelessly Dropped Bolt Had Put an End to Little John rink's Life. While men were at work on the elevated railroad structure opposito 100 Broadway, about 7:30 o'clock this morning, a Btnall lame boy, carrying some salad or celory wrapped in paper, camo out of tho grocery, 402 Broadway, aud crossing the sidewalk toward the street had Just stopped off the curb closo to the stand stipportlug au open furnaco of llvo coals used by the elevated railroad men, when ho suddenly gave a scream aud fell. Persons in tho neighborhood hearing the cry rushed to the place and found the gutter alroady full of blood from a terrible gash in tho back of the boy's head. An ambulanco was summoned, but bofore its arrival the boy was do id.

The ambulanco surgeon said that tho boy's skull waa fractured and the caso was so reported to tho Thirteenth Precinct Polico Station. Coroner Lindsay was on the ground about ono hour later In response to a telephone message from Aldorman HlrachAold. Tho po lico were already there, but nobody soomod to know how tho boy camo by his death, and the Vhoory seemed to bo gonorally adopted that tho littlo larao boy, going nocossarily at a slow pace, foil down and fractured his skull. There was a rumor, which could not bo traced to any reliable source, that ho was struck by a bolt of iron falling from ono of the girders. Everybody had this idea at flrsr, but when asked who bad seen the bolt fall, nobody could or would tell.

Plausibility, howovor, was given to this theory by fact that the boy fell Just at the foot of a derrick near which stood tho furnace and a bucket of bolts, and Immediately after the accident the workmen disappeared. Goorge Mauror, of 301 Wallabout streot, says that a boy, who had seen Hie occurrence, told him that the child was struck by a bolt of iron from tho elevated railroad at. ucture. Maurer would not give tho name or address of tho boy. William Giohl, of 157 Broadway, heard tho boy cry for help and saw him after he bad fallen.

Ho did not Bee what struck him, but hoard a man say that he saw him struck by a pieco of it on from the elevated railroad. He could not tell who tho man was. Miss Lizzie Tillie, of 400 Broadway, however, says that sho saw two men at work on tlie elevate 1 road before the accident Persons in Bossori's molding mill also saw the acclcent thoro. Whon tlie (Jpronor visited the placo tho workmen bad gone, mit tho furnace with the coals in it stood ready and a quantity of ropo was coifed ou tho derrick, and ou an iron boarn of the elevated road. Tho doad boy was identified as John Fink, of 10 avenue, aged 12 yoars.

Coroner Lindsay lias ordered au autopsy. Tlie fumiiyof the dead boy, claiming to be acting in accordance Willi instructions from the Oorouer, refused to allow tho roportor to view the body. No Intelligent person was found who bolieve3 that the boy's scull was fractured by a fall. Citizens, in refutation of such a theory, point to tho fact that tho post of an awning, against which tho boy sooms to havo fallon, Is stained with blood on the side toward tho stroot from a point corresponding to the height of tho boy. While a gentleman was drawing tho attention of an E.VGLE roportor to this circumstance some person came with a pail of water and threw it ovor tho sidowalk and into the gutter so that tbo pool of blood In tho latter placo was speodlly washed away.

Small sprinkles of blood were to be found toward the center of tho stroet. Mis. Ellen Jaeger, aunt of young Fink, says that the buy and his mother, Mrs. Mary Fink, went out togothor to buy provisions; that tho mother went to a bulchor shop ou tho opposjto sido of tbo street to tho grocory, and that whllo sho was in the butcher shop the accident oeeurrod. Shortly after 1 o'clock this arternoon an EAGLE roportor rovisitod tho scono of tho accident and found it somewhat transformed, tho bucket of bolts having disappeared, and tho furnaco with the coals in it having beeu removed somo feet easterly and strapped with repos to ono of the metal uprights so as to appoar that it had not been uao 1.

The reporter theu called at the bakery of Mr. John Fink, on Montrose avenuo, aud learned that Doctor Jo opn M. Creamer had not yet held tho autopsy, and that it was not knowu whon ho would. Tho boy's aunt, who la a school teacher, said tbat nobody would bo allowed to soo him. Littlo Fink was a particularly bright hoy and had Just graduated In Second Grammar Grade in public School No.

Dr. Caroline B. Vfinslovr Says She Discovered lhit liar Treatment Was Nullified and Ncgatired by Dr. Melanethon Eulli, Who Dropped in as a Friend An Enforced Change of Nurse Washington, D. March 21.

Tho following article, which appears In this morning's Past, has caused quite a sensation iu Washington: There is a phaso of Caiof Justice Waite's Illness and sudden doutu which cannot he regardod as ex tromely fortunate, and which will inevitably lead to severe criticism. Due of Judge Waite's warm friends and most attentive callers was Dr. Sfolanc thou Kutli, of the Navy. Ho was at the houso ou Tuesday, and hearing Judge Waho complain of a paiu in tho chost, ordered teat UU chest bo bathed with turpentine. This was done, notwithstanding tho fact that another physician was in charge of tho ea io When Dr.

Winslow called on Wednesday sho found that hor treatment had been interfered with, tho patient's chest, throat and heard dng saturated with turpoutiue. bho immediately ordered it washed oft and was extremely shocked that her directions had been altered. Sho insisted that nothing of tho kind should bo allowed to occur again. On hor return on Thursday sho discovered that tno turpentine had not been thoroughly removed. Sho accordingly removed it with hor own hands.

Theu sho learned that thero had ben further interference. Dr. Kutli had set up with tho Judge until late at aud had given him nourishment every hour, while Dr. Winslow had directed that longer time should intervene, the patient's stomTich wits not in cou didoii to receive fool oftenor. She immediately had iiugonelirooks, the Judge's messenger who had heou acting as nuroe, put aside and placed Miss Kebecca Hart, a professional nurao in whom sue had implicit confidence, iu charge.

Mus Hart is a Bister of Dr. thor Hart and a graduato of Bello vue Training Sonool for Nur.es. Suo was for soul!) tinio iu charge ot the opuraliug ward iu that institution. With her in charge thero was no more interference with the patient, and Dr. Windows directions were implicitly obeyed.

Hut under tho ci. cuinst.tuoea aud on learning tho extent of Dr. Rusn unprofessional conduct, sho deemed it ad vir able. mat medical counsel should be ummoued. This met Judge Waite's approval.

She suggested eithor Dr. Jauuey or Dr. Gardner. Accordingly, tho latter gentleman was summoned, Mr. C.

C. Waite going in person. Dr. Gardner camo in tho evening, aud afnir consultation Dr. Wlnslow's treatment was sustained, the only change being that brandy was admiuistort Dr.

Gardner holding that at Judge Waite's ago stlmulouts would bo oeu ctieial. Tho physicians saw that, the Judge had bo eomo a verv sick man but death was noi considered Imminent and tho news of Judge Wane's demise iu the morning was received with surprise. Dr. A. Gardner, ll.o consulting physician, when soon at his office, said: "1 was greatly surprised to hear of Judge Waite's death.

Whon 1 led: tho house last evening he soomed to bo in condition to pass a comfortable night. Heart failure is not, uuliitoly to occur iu acuto pneumonia following bronchitis, but it cannot bo forotold. Judge Waite's heart was good action, and heart (allure was not dreamed of. "What do you think of Dr. Kuih's action asked the reporter.

Tho doctor's fuco grew stern. It was not my rase," said ho, and 1 do not fool at liberty to discuss that phaso of it, but if I had been in charge from tho begiuniug 1 should speak very Dr. Caroline li. Winslow has been the family physician of tho Waitos ever siuco their arrival iu Washington fourteen years ago. Sho was seen at hor house and said: "Judgo Waite had boon working very hard, preparing tho telephone decision, and his systoin was low.

I havo been treating him for stomach disorders ever siuco Mrs. Waite left for California, lie always snid ho was well and nover liked to acknowledge that ho was in anyway ill. Ho would laugh when 1 asked him his symptoms and would say that 1 was trying to make him confess that ho was sick. His debilitated condition undoubtedly led to his taking cold. His anack of ory ipelas, some two years ago, undoubtedly owed its severity to overwork But the public cannot be more surprised than I at his death, nor 1 any more than his nurse, who was at bis side when ho died.

I pity poor Waite. 1 am afraid Iho shock will prostrate hor." "Wuat do you think of Dr. Kuih's unprofessional conduct in interfering with your treatment," asked Hie reporter. Dr. Winslow threw up her hands in despair.

it is all over and nothing can bo done. Ho is a friend of the family aud I would ratnor nothing should bo said. In forty years of practice this is the first caso of pneumonia I have lost. Hut for forty eight hours my treatment was nullified and negative I. I could not express my feeling when 1 found out what had ti' on dono aud waen 1 found that my orders to wash that turpentine on had not been carried out thoroughly I mysolf.

1 haven't beeu able to got tho case oft my mind it has worried me and kopt me awake. If Mrs. Waite had only beeu hero it couldn't havo happened." Dr. iiulh was Heen xast nigui ana uu uemou viu phatically that ho had interfered In any way with Dr. Winslow treatment of Chief Justice's case.

A telegram lias beeu received from Mrs. Wailo acquiescing in a suggestion that tho funeral services of the Chief Justice bo hold ill the hall of the House of Representatives next Wednesday, and that the body bo privately interred at Toledo tiio noxt day. Mrs. Waiio left Los Angeles at 10 o'clock last night to come Fast immediately. Dr.

Kuth leaves Washington to day to moot hor at Kansas City aud escort hor to Toledo. Edward T. Waite, tho second son, will remain la Toledo to moot his mother. MR. BACKUS MAKES A STRANGE PROMISE.

Colonel Andrew D. Baird has received tho following lotter: U0US12 OF KePRESENTATIVKS, U. I Washington, D. March 22, 18S8. Hon.

Andrew D. Eaird, Brooklyn, S. Y. JIT Deaii Sin Referring to tho conversation between us on iny recent visit to Brooklyn in respect to my ronomination as candidate for Congress from tho Third (Brooklyn) District, in which conversation you wore iklud ouough to assure mo of your own support" I feel It 'my duty to yourself and to numerous other leading Republicans who havo spoken to mo ou the same matter, to dofluo my position upon tbo sublect natnod. 1 am aware that in speaking now I arr.

liable to afford my opponents a chance to mako ill natured remarks; and I auticipato that I shall boar the very stale quotation, "Nobody asked you, from some charitably disposed parties when thoy shall havo read this letter. Hut a wrong might bo done to ray own friends by further alienee. Uy such silonco I placo many warm loyal friends at a disadvantage as compared to those who are not my friends politically, aud I shall never play InW 'h hands of iny enemies at tho oxpetiso of my friends. hare recoivod offers of support iu that regard from several loadiug gomlomon in tho hird District, nouo of whom favored my nomination in the last canvass and all of whom pledged mo their unqualified support for a ronomination. heso gon ilmueu are themselves, any of them, well qualified for congressional duties, some of them have been favorably mentioned in yoars past lor Congressional honors, aud if I should sit by, pormiltlng them to work for mo to.

their own disadvantage as possible candidates, I might do them and tho public a wron This consideration induces mo to say to you what has beeu dollnitoly fixed iu my own minu for nearly two months, that under no considerations wiUI again accept the candidacy or the olliee as such representative. In notifying yourself aud the Republicans ot iho Third District ot that fact it is duo both to mysolf and to my constituents that 1 should briefly staio tho reasons for my determina ''i'boliovo that I appreciate most fully tho great honor and the great responsibly of tho position of a member of Congress of the United Slates. 1 do not forget that Henry Clay, tho great leader of protection in Amoricun politics who was a generation in advanco of tho thought of tho ctmutry in that regardwont back from tho Senate to the popular onuich of the national Legislature whore alone revenue measures could originate. 1 havo not forgotton that, tho old man eloquent laid aside the duties of Chief Magistrate, aud on tered upon thoso of a Member ot Congress without lowering ids great dignify; nor I hut it was upon the floor of the House that ho was struck down by the messenger of death, aud that from an ante room of the Chamber where I ivrito were uttoretl those memorable parting words: "This is the end of earth; lam content." but while I am profoundly impressed witu the dignity and the responsibility of my place, find the oppuriuuiiios for work so uoundless and ot achievement so sin il, that 1 must relievo myself from the attempt to Borvo iny constituents further than the eml of my nresent term. I piss over tho fact that the time of evory member is engrossed with the private service of his constituents iu matters wherein ho would himself employ an attorney, becauso 1 am as able to porform thus i services as others, aud many limeB a Member ot Congress can facilitate action where au attorney might not secure equally promiit consideration.

Hut upon other grounds 1 leel 'that possible results for good are so remote that I can boner employ my time, both for myself and othors, out of Congress than in iu I do uot know that a sot of rulos can bo framed for the government of so large, a legislative body bettorthan we now havo nere; out mo iaci rooiuauo iuu presout each Individual is bound, hand and foot, aud is gagged as well, by the imperious rule of tho commutes of the House. No measure, howevor wise, can bo introduced by any member, however eminent, and bo Drought ueioru mo uuu.o discus iou if a majority ol Iho conimuiee, to wnom it must first bo referred, shall choose to suppress it. 1 do not complain of tho fact, but 3taio it. If 1 were 30 years of ago instead of 50 I might bo ompted to endeavor, "by patleut coiuinuancu well doing," to make some impression lor gouu mblic affairs, liut at my nmo oi mo hope of achievement commensurate wiui ino moo. required.

1 therefore beg tnut in your own mij you will maiie tuo ol iuw wnw. tho Republicans of my district.

At 5 o'clock last oveninc, when crowds thronged tho streets, a runaway horso dashed into City liaii square and tore madly up Fulton street. Directly in front of the animal there was a pillar ot tho elovaled railroad structure and It appeared as though the flying steed would dash himself against it, but ho clearod the obstacle and tho wagon behind it camo into contact with tho pillar. Tho tail board was displaced by tho collision and a shower of paper boxes was sout Uyiug across me street The horso got out of the crowded part of the square, and, taking tho up car track, ran along up town at a rapid rato.

it oore down ou Car No. 8 of tho Fulton streot line. Tho vehicle was filled with passengors, and on tho back platform thero were twelve men closoly huddlod together. They Jumped to tho streot and ran. Tho runaway had no lutontiou of demolishing the car and its precious freight.

It turned to tho right Just I before reaching tho vohicle; but the wheels uiu not leave the track readily, and as tho horso rau by tho car iho hind wheels wore alill In Iho tracks. The car was struck a slanting blow which had but little forco, nua no pai wmgui ir injured, although tho car was damaged. A shoivor of paper boxes was turowu over iuo car and the horse dashoj on.

Jtule Cnllen. of tho Supreme Court, has handed down a decision upon tho application for a certificate of doubt iu Iho case of ex l'olicoman Francis M. O'Dea, who was convicted of manslaugh ter iu tiio Court of Soss'otiu for a fatal assault upon Edgar Smith. It was claimed by counsel for tho accused that errors were committod by the trial Judge in his charge. In l.i nnioinn Cullen savs tho principal complaint in this respect is to the charge of the Court that the defendant nau no auiiioriiy tu unoni.

tho deceased wlih.out a warrant for a misdemeanor not osmmittod iu the presence ot tno uoionuauu That such is the general rule of law in this State as to the power of peace office's is unquestioned, says Judge Cullen. It is cidimed, hoivovor, that under the charter of iho Cily of Brooklyn a polico officer may in this city arrest without a warrant for all offenses, whether cwnmiltod in his presence or not. Tills claim is basod upon section 21, title of tho charter. Tbo Court holds that this clutiso iu Iho charter does not mean that au arrest may bo mado without a warrant for an not committed In the presence or view of the police officer, and that iho charge of the trial Judge was not error. The application is doniod.

O'Dea is now serving his torm iu tho Penitentiary. SHE LIVED IX GREENWOOD A i'oitug Woman WIio Sorffcnilt Ward Vary Weary. Lute last night Officer McDermott, of the Tenth Precinct, found a well dressed young woman lying on a stoop ou St. Marks placo. Sho had boon searching after strong drink and had evidoutly found a good deal of it, for she could scarcely walk whon raised up.

Sho scratched tho ofllcor and bit his thumb aud it was with tho utmost difficulty that she was taken to the station houso. She told Sergeant Ward that hor namo was I.llllo Laurence and that sho lived in Greenwood Cemetery. When asked how old she was she replied at first that she was and then on consideration said she was 40. She was apparently about 23. Mr.

Ward got vory mad whon Bho aukcd him if his hair had blown away during blizzard, and mado no further attempt to get any information from hor. Miss Laurence wept a good deal when lakon bofore Justice Walsh tills morning and could not be fgot to spoak. Whon asked if she had been Intoxi cated sho nodded. A flno of 5 was imposed and as sho had no money alio was taken to Jail. BLIZZARD AND SALTED TRACKS.

PrcNitlent eticliardMOii Think the mayor Should Profit by Experience. The Joint Aldermanio Committeo on Law and Railroads look up last night the Mayor's proposed ordiuanco to prevent tho salting of tracks, but adjourned tho furthor hearing at the request of tiio livery stable keepers. Mr. William Richardson took occasion to say: Considering our oxporloncoa during 'ho Its', two weeks, there is an houestdoubt in my mind whether his Honor, tho Mayor, would havo sont lu his ordinance on the lstol April, as ho did on tho 1st of March. If he has not profited by tho experience of tho blizzard ho is slower to loarti than I itnagino.

I can very well undoratand why our friends, tho livery stable kcopor, aro In favor of tho ordinance, why thoy should wolcomo blizzards. It pays to hlro out cabs at J50 a trip whon tho surface cars are not running. JOSH ISII.liIHUS (10ES TO JAIIi.

Bather Than Part With Thorn Sha Deter, mines to Kill Them Wfltchins Them in Their Affony Two Daad and the Other j)jjA Most Extraordinary Crime. Supposed to be Insane. The most extraordinary crime tbat was ever trough! to the notice of tho New York polico was in that city this morning, wuon It was learned that a motliortiad poisoaod her tbreo boys, two of whom were dead and Iho other dying. Tho peculiar feature of tho easo Is that tho crime wa9 prompted by lovo. The woman had evory appearance of being satio, and whon sho told horatoryto the police betrayed not the slightest emotion.

Mrs. Minnie Lelbkuechuor, tho widow of a browor Tfho was at ono time very prosperous, lo3t her husband about four years ago. With hor spouso deported her prosperity, and top by stop sho sank until sho speut all tho inonoy she had and was compelled to do houaowork and wash for a livelihood. (So poor did sho becomo that sho was compelled to part with her elder children, Anthony and Charles, they being sout to tho Now York Juvonilo Asylum. They remained in tho custody of that institution for two yoars.

About a year ago Mrs. Leibkueeliuer rented two miserable rooms on the second door of the roar tenement, of 15 1 WestTwouty oighth street, end went to live thero with her youngest child, Christopher, 1 years old, whom she left with her noiniitinra whnn sho had to i'o out to worlt. She was not popular jvim the persons who lived in her vlein ity because of hor unprepossessing appearance. Sho was tall and ungainly, her face sn wrinkle I prematurely, and tho lower half of her couuto naueo was terribly disfigured by a scar which when she was angry made her hideous. About six mouths ago, after exerting all the influence sho could command, she succeeded in getting her two oldest children, Anthony.

years old, and Charles, 7 years old, from tile Juveuilo Asylum. The family had much company, many of the visitors being men who, she oxplaiuod to the neighbors, were her brothers, nephews or cousins. For nearly a week procediug last night sho only left i.nr at Rhort intervals. In fact tho neighbors were beginning to forgot her presence in tho houso. On Thursday afternoon, however, the olner tor.

ants were startlod by cries of agony from Mrs. Leiu kuechner's rooms. Tho voices were those of hor children. Mrs. Mulligan, who lived in tho court, went up to tho woman's rooms and offered her assistance.

Mrj. ibkuociinor opened her door Slightly and putting her hideous fa. iu tho crack repllod: "Oh Mrs. Mulligan they'll be all over it in a little time. They're onlv got tho stomach ache.

Tnoy'U bo all right soon." Mrs. Mulligan tried to get in to soo the children, but before sho could do thW Mrs. Leibkuochncr ha 1 closed the door, lockei it and walked away. The cries, however, continued for nearly aa hour. Thou the silonce which followod was unbroken.

It was at about i0 o'clock this morniug that a woman outerod tho West Twenty third street sta Won and going up to tho Sergeant's desk, said iu broken English. "Sergeant I havo poisoned alt three of my children. They are dead. Now hang While sho was talking sho did not betray the Slightest emotion. "Poisoned your children! asked the astonished sergeant.

"I put rough on rats in their toa and mado them drink it," she replied, e.ilmly. "What mado you do "Because I loved them so," was tho extraordinary answer. "They were golug to bo taken away from me and I killed them rather than part with Tho sergoaut looked at her closely. His first impression was that sho was crazy, but he could not Bee tno slightest sign of insanity. Roundsman Al bertson was going out of the house at the lime and be was ordered to go with the woman to her homo and seo if site told tho truth.

In Hie front room Albortson found tiirco beds, one of which, the largest, was unoccupind, but the other two held ttvu litilo corpses, with their f.ieos and limbs drawn in agony. Ou a sofa near tho window lay another child, wltn tho death pallor already creeping over it face and its hands and lips rawing convulsively. "Why diil you do this? Albertson a "Because I was so poor and I did not want them taken from me again," was the reply. Albertson took the woman hack to the station bouse and theu a Now York Hospital ambulanco and ha 1 the still living child removed to that institution. There it w.n said that little hope was entertained of saving its life.

Whon Mrs. Lelbkuechuor was brought to tho desk sho told her story. Last Weduceday site sent Anthony, tho oldest child, to French's drug store, at 'ill Sevonth avenue, giving him 25 coats with which to buy a box of rough on rats. Ho re turned shortly and gave her 10 cents in chango and the poison. She theu divided it into threo parts, mixed it in a cup with tea and gave each of tho children some, commanding them to drink tho contents.

Tho little ones diil unhesitatingly as they were told. It wa not long before they were writhing upon tho lloor in agony, evon tearing the oilcloth with their italic and teeth, BO excruciating was their pain. While they were Buffering all these torments the woman left them and going to a liquor saloon at Seventh avenue and Twenty eighth street, spent tho chango which little Anthony had given tier for whisky. The licptor she took home and dividing it gave Anthony and Charles equal parts as sho thought to ease their pain. Tho strong alcohol entering tho stomachs, which woro alroady racked and torn by the poison made their agony many times more fierce.

Finally little Charlosdrew hitnaolt'to his mother's feet and, looking up to her face in the utmost entreaty, said: "Mamma, mamma, I'm burning up inside. Take mo into tho yard and let tho hydrant ruu on me. JInmma, do; I am so very hot." This was tho last request tho little fellow made. In a very short time (at 2 P. little Charlie died.

Threo homo later his brother A nth uy expired. For Borne time tho latlor had Xjnen uncmsciaus. Then tho mother lifted the bodies of in victims and laid them carefully in tholr little beds, avion the death of tho youngest whose life was ebbing Slowly. Tho woman had no more money or site would havo ended Christopher's mi scry. As it was Uhe sat by his sido for nearly thirty four hours waiting for tho end.

It did not come then, but remorse did. and sho went to tho station, (old of her crime and surrendered herself. Tho only interval in her watch was whon on Friday night sho wont around to John A. Koths' undertaking shop, at 393 Seventh avonue, and asked him to come and bury hor children, lioths had buried Mr. Leibkuechner and at ouco recognized the woman because of tho peculiar marks ou her face.

He agreed to call to day and arrange tho boJios for Interment. Last Tuesday Mrs. Lelbkuechuor received a letter from the Bloomingdale Aid Society, in which its officers announced that Ihey had secured good homes in tho Went for each of her boys and that sho should get them ready to leavo tho city by Saturday. The. letter plunged her Into an oxcess of grief.

She thought that she had no legal power to retain control and cute of her children, and tiio prospect of parting from thorn was maddening. It would seem that through all lids terrible ordeal she kept hor unutterable purpose rigidly In mind, for sho summoned no doctor or help of any kind, and conducted herself and cared for tho boys to such effect that not ono inmate of tho five storied tenement house suspected that anything unusual was happening In the first floor back rooms. Subsequently the woman was brought to the Coroner's Office, whon Koundsmati Albertson, who had her In charge, placed his statemout iu the form of aa affidavit A committment was mado out upon which the woman was committed to the Tombs. As She left the Building sho droiv from her pocket a number of photographs of her children and asked if she could keep thorn. ISoing nuswered iu the affirmative sho shouted "Thoy wanted to take my children away from mo, but they can't do it now!" Deputy Coroner Conway mado an examination of tho woman by observation, and putting a few questions to her he camo tu the conclusion that tho woman is undoubtedly a lunatic; that she is suffering from acute maula caused by melancholia.

When the woman married Jacob Leibkuochnor h9 had three children who woro older than she. Tho stepmother and children did not agree, and thoy soparatod four or flvo mouths later. Whon Leibkuechner died ho had a policy for on his life. His children coutosted for this money and were awarded 100. Tho money was placed In trust for them.

Mrs. J. Christina G. Ilupfel, tho wlfo ol tho brewer, is one of the children. She East Thirty eighth streot.

Another child is Jacob Lolbkueehner, a beer battler, of 231 Fast Thirty ninth street. Mrs. Leibkuechner was informo 1 that tho undertaker was arranging to bury tho children tu the Trinity family plot. sho replied, and thero was not a traco of bitterness iu hor tone, only reason 1 am nllvo now is to prevent that. I want tho children properly buriod, hut not beside their father.

I stay alive Instead of going with thorn Juat to boo that they do not go to that cemotery. I don't want that family to have anything to do with them. Tbat family nover would help them when alive, and thoy shatl not have anything to do with thorn now." Tho polico soom to think that if tho family history were known an Important light would bo thrown on tho poor woman's caroer. It was stated at tho Now York Hospital late this Blteraooa that young Christopher would recover. SEMT BACK TO SKIT YORK.
