Thomas Verlin, a married man, residing at 121 Navy street, was tried before Justice Kenna yes t' rday afternoon on a charge of cruelty to animals. May 12 he was arretted by Officer Glover, of the P. C. who charged him with abandoning a horse and allowing the animal to run at large without food. The testimony adduced in the cose threw entirely different light on the case and showed that Officer Glover had acted altogether too hastily.

The prosecution attempted to prove that Verlln's horso was so badly disabled that Glover was Justified in killing tho animal Verlin and his witnesses proved conclusively that the animal had only a slight soro on ono leg and tbat the owner had turned him loose lu an laclosed pasture to give him chance to recuperate. Justice Kenna discharged Verlin. The latter will at once institute proceed ings against the Society tor the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for damnges.

Henry O.Du transfer agent and start of the Atlantic aveaue Railroad, who Is charged with having swindled the company by means of a conspiracy with certain conductors to return tranter tickets In plase of cash for fares, has at last come out and made specific charges against President Richardson, against whom be has been hurling insinuations over sluco his arrest on tho 13th Inst Du Bols now say3 that in 18S2 a car driver named Perry ran over a little girl named Cot trell and broke her leg. Perry could not be Induced To toll a story which would save the company from paying damages In the suit Immediately brought by the parents, and so he was spirited out of town by Du Bois with the foil knowledge of Mr. William Richardson, the president of the road, and with the assistance and eonnivance of Mr. William J.

Richardson. Mr. Da Bois has in his possession letters from Mr. William J. Richardson written to him durlog the month of Juue, 1832, wheu the case of Cottroll vs.

The Atlantic Avenue Railroad Com pany was bolng tried, and while Du Bois as he alleges was keeping Perry out the way of sub poena servers. They at least show a surprising de gree of intimacy between Mr. Dubois and Mr. William J. Richardson Brooklyn, N.

Answer. William J. Richardson. H. C.

Du Bote, Esq. Dkar Sir Your telegram was duly received. I thought It better to reply by mail. It seemed almost Incredible that you could not get a certificate ot deposit cashed, and if at no other place, at the place wnero you are boarding. However, I shall ascertain which Boston bank is the correspondent of the Fulton Bank, and notify you to morrow by letter.

It would havo been better to nave sent you a Jfost umce money order, Dut thought it as convenient, aud cheaper as well. Since beginning to write this letter, your little girl has called for your last week's money. I told Mr. Griffin to delivor It and gave him your address, but ho forgot It I delivered It to her and gave her tickets to call next week lu case it should not be delivered promptly. She stated that they were all woll.

Yours truly, W. J. Richardson, Secretary. BROOKLYN, une 14, 1BH3. On the following day the letter given below was wrllteu: Mr.

H. C. DuBoie: Dear Sir Heeardlne your certificate of deposit would say that the Fulton Bank's correspondent In Boston is the National Union Bunk. 1 think, prob ably, if you take this letter to them they will pay you on your iudorsement Your hotel keeper or Doaraing nouse Keeper, wherever you are staying, ought to be very willing to take it on your isdorssmeut, and in that way deposit it. A certified check would be no better.

If you cannot make use of it at all return it indorsed, and I Will send you a Post Office money order; but Boston must bo a one borse town, if it is the Hub, when a certif. of dep. cannot be cashed In it Yours truly, w. o. muuABUisuN, secretary.

BB00KLTN, Juno 15, 1883. On the following day the following letter was Bent: if. C. DuBoit, Esq. dear SIR xour telegram came too late get money order to day.

I went to the office but It was cloged. 1 will get it to morrow and send to you at once. Yoars, truly, w. J. Uichardson, secretary.

Brooklyn, June 16, 1882. The post office order was seat on the following day with this order: H. C. DuBoie, Esq. hear incioseu please nnu post oince money order for $50.

Yours, truly. W. J. Richardson. BROOKLYN, June 17, There was no more correspondence between Du Bols aud Mr.

Richardson until Juue 21, when the latter seut the following telegram: Brooklyn, N. June 21. U. C. DulSoii, 1 Edenboro street, Bolton: come uotne.

w. o. iuchakuuuh. DuBois did not return until the 23th. Botween them he and Perry had spent $125 of the company's money and enjoyed themselves very heartily.

"I saw the printed statements of Mr. Dubois, said Mr. Richardson this morning. "I thlua he had better clear blmsolf of the very serious charge for which the District Attorney is prosecutiug him In Judge Maasey'a Court, before he undertakes to attack me. Of course I will not reply to him.

He can only throw mud and it will no; stick. His allegation that I had anything to do with getting a witness out ot the way is utterly and absurdly false. I have read the letters and don't see that they In any way support the assertion or insinuation." Lawyer A. P. Carlln, counsel for Mr.

DuBois, said: What DuBois has said is undoubtedly true, but I did not want it to come out just yet Thomas Nolan, saloon keeper corner of Twenty first street and Fifth aveuue, knows that It is true. Dr. Perry and DuBois discussed the matter with him previous to their going into hiding and used him as their city correspondent while they were away. William C. DeWitt.

Mr. Hudson, Mr. William Richardson and Mr. William J. Rich ardson all know that the story is true, Perry knows it's true and DuBois has the letters to prove it You will be astonished at some of the revelations which will come out during this trial." Mr.

William J. Richardson was not to bo seen at tho office this morning. He is tho gentleman who Is alleged to havo given Duliols $75 and told him to take Perry out of tho way till the trial was over. HE WRITES AS A MEDIUM Prepared to Reflect His Thoughts on Another and Iuvisible Life. To tlie Editor of the Brooklyn Xaglt: The center of a great city, like tho center of a great crowd, Is hotter than at the edges or cir cumference.

For this reason the slope oi nign ground, between Fifth and Ninth avenues, aloug the lino of the park, as well as tne vicinity ot tue Heights, along the river froutage, offer cooler residences for the Summer season than on the Hill especially tho heart of It. A person ot means need not leave this beautiful city to find all all the com. fort desired, except he wants a sail, and then, ot course, he must do so. Such a one living iu a warm section might, take a flat In one ot the elegant buildings of thai character on Montague street, overlooking the harbor, and obtalu a delightful broezo from the water. He might also enjoy the park, the island, the various pleasant trips by water and the evening amuse meuts iu the casino 11 rre only had one.

Tho poor man as well can enjoy the park, Greenwood and the many cheap excursions for a small amount of money. But what hn wants from our City Fathers or our general government Is that they will pur chase a large piece ot land from latousn or else where, like the ball ground there, and erect huiuDlo homos for not more than two or three families that havo Bpaca between and around them that the air may circulate around aud through them to their comfort ana health. In getting to tbe Park from the Hill center, one notices on Franklin aveuue, after leaving Atlantic aveuue behind, a general appearance along the ine of tho aveuue as if, in some remote period, a glacier had passed that way from north to south. Rocks and small stones are strewed along the entire route, gravel is everywhere, aud as desolate of trees as a deBert. To travel that way yesterday was a scorcher and blinding to the eyes, and upon Inquiring of the conductor the reason, he simply said, "They don't care for this end of the city." Somehow 1 think wo need women in our City Council as well as In the Board ol Education.

She sweeps clean from losg ex perience; and, where capable, could fill a large position on same general principles as a small sna Oh, that she might swing a broom in some of our streets. Some of our unfashionable property made so because away from tlie center and line of growth is really more deslrablo and much cheaper than that on the Hill. It Is pleasant here, but the circumference gats further and further away, Oahspe, the new Spiritualist Bible, tne name meaning literally the sum of all things, au earth and in heaven," claims that a city snould not be over 10,000 inhabitants for the best good ot all concerned, and yet people rush to a bie city as Iron fillings to a magnet But not to suggest too much at first, I will simply say that I write as a prepared medium to reflect consciously and Intelligently too tnouguu impressed upon my brain from another and Invisible life invisible, but as taogiblo, positive and real, and tho electricity, stoam and wind which we only see In its results.

If John Shultz was a resident of some rural part of Texas he might to day be dangling from a sturdy tree. Judge Lynch would have found him guilty of horse etealiug and the fact that the crime) was committed to assist in an elopement might not have proved a reason why the usual prompt oxe cutlon of sentence should be deferred. John ShultS 1 a young man formerly quite well known in.

tho Eastern District, whore he was born and lived for twenty of his 23 years. His father is William H. Shultz, a Jeweler, who haB been In business for twenty five years at 415 Broadway. Tho senior Mr. Shultz Is a responsible man and when John called at Everltt Wheeler's livery stable, in Berry and South Eighth streets, Friday last week, with tho information ihat his iathar wauted a good horse aud carriage for uso uutll lata iu tho oyenlng ho fouud no difficulty tn got.

tlDg what ho applied for. It was exactly noon when the young man drove away with. tiio rig, which Mr. Wheeler valued at iNigut came ana went, nut tne une bay horso and the trim new buggy returned not Saturday morniug Mr. Wheeler went to the Jeweler's there got news that entirely obviated the effect i the hot weather.

Mr. Schultz had not ordered tt since last July. He prosumed the young man still in the West, though Just where ho could nut toll. Bat the jeweler was forced to acknowledge that the young man who had driven away with Mr. Wheeler's horse answered the description of his missing son.

The liveryman's next move was to employ detectives io search for his etolen property. Days went by, however, without defluite ne.vs from tho runaway. A reward was offered, and on Wednesday Mr. Howell, ot Smltlitown, sent word to Mr. Wheeler that a short young man of German countenance, acoom.

paniud by a girl about 19 years old, had driven into Smitbtown on Saturday with a rig that answere description by the liveryman. From this clew the facta that led to the return of the horse to the owner to day were worked out Schultz, after he left tbe Berry street stables, drove to Dutchtown and was met on a only description yet obtained of tho eirl is that nha was short, plump and well dressed. The couple had evidently met by appointment The girl had with, her a large package. They drove up Stagg street and continuing all night In their flight arrived at Smitbtown Branch at 6 o'clook Saturday morning. Here ho exchanged carnages with, a man, getting $3 to boot He gave his name at Smiihtown and at other places beyond as John Wilson.

That afternoon Schulbg and the young woman continued their drive to Cutchogue. another ride ot fifty miles. Hera Schultz traded horses, getting $10 boot, and turning tn his tracks drove with his companion to Mount Sinai. Then the young man sold his entire rig to James Hopkins, a farmer, for $20, telling a plausible story to cover up the necessity of Saturday night, and after a hurried at the farmer's house the voune coudIo started. off to walk to Port Jefferson.

They arrived'. there at midnight and the next morning departed on the steamer Nonowantuo for Bridgeport Mr. Wheeler has not yet got all his stolen property, but considers himself In a fair way to do so. The horsa was found at Orient, whithsr it had been transferred; the harness at Mount Sinai and the buggy at Cutcboguo. Mr.

Wheeler's hopes yet to get young Schultz Into the clutches of the law. He said ho had information that tha youth had stolen from his father and had been living In Chicago since the commission of this offense. The liveryman ha3 learned that a young; woman It missiug from the Sixteenth Ward, who'lt' supposed to bo the maiden who eloped with tho youthful horsethief. William H. Schultz was bitterly bemoaning the disgrace that the publicity of tbe facts In the case would bring upon him.

I have not seen my son for a year and have known but little of his move ments for three years, lie is married, but do not know who his wife Is. I have not heard a word from him since last July, when ho called 14 see me at the store. If he was In Brooklyn? last week, I did not know it I know nothing about tho hiring ot the horse, and am wearied and disgusted with being questioned about it I am by no means assured that the man is my son."

SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS Jti ABSOLUTE CURB OF A MOST DISTRESSING SKIN DISEASE BY TUB CUTIOTJRA REMEDIES. In the Winter of 1879 30 I found myself afflicted with a sinfruJsr eruption on mr limbs, to which I baa bltberto been a stranger. The trouble appeared in large blotches, upon which the akin was raised, bat no gathering it. No particular pain attended it save a burning, sting sensation and an intolerable itching such as was never before experienced. After becoming satisfied that it had come to stay 1 called my physician, who, after A thorough examination, pronounced it oaa of eczema He oumforted me by Baying be conld cure it; that it was merely okin disease incident to old people: was neither' dsiiKsrous nor contagious, but if not arrested would prove exceedingly troublesome aud annoying to msv I as'ed him to prescribe, whioh ho did; powders and pills to be iken inwardly and a wash for outward application.

I attended aithfnlly to all directions, but ths wnsh only aggravated the irritation, and after few ap pliontions had to be abandoned. Beocming thoroughly alannea, I asked my physioian to call counsel, which ha did. The case was oxamined, the medicine changed, obeyed orders to the lottor, all to no The, blotohes would diBippear in one place (leaving a stain nponthe skin as if some dark liquid hid beon spilled over it), only to appBar in another. It had been a part of my early education to discountenance all advertised medicines as a delusion and a snare, but one day, lit glancing over a nowsp.tpsr, I noticed under tha head ot your OUTfCORA REMEDIES a case precisely similar to my own, and after reading it over several times.I went immediately to the nearest drug itore, purchased abottte of OUTICURA RESOLVENT, two cikes of OUTIODRA SOAP and a box of OUTIOURA, reviving to use them clandestinely, carefully notlns the effects. TherAsnltof the first bath, with tn after application of tho COTI.

I persevered untilan ab EOlute care was eitected. 1 consider your OUTIOURSl REMEDIES invaluable, and cheerfully recommend then, as snob.

VETOES BY THE PRESIDENT.

Claim for Pensions Which, to Saw the Least, Are Extraordinary. Among the bills vetoed by President Cleveland to day Is "An tfet for the relief of Lieutenant James G. W. Hardy was disabled by a railroad accident while in the service. The relief Is refused on the ground that the petitioner remained in the service ten years after his alleged disability.

The measure to Increase the pension Mary Minor Hoxey waB vetoed on the ground that her present remuneration Is all that she cau legally be given. Charles Glamalm, who claimed that a comrade struck him with a brick while he was serving in an Illinois regiment, Was refused a pension, Mary F. Harklns was refused a pension because the President could not see bow a wound In the foot could after seventeen years produce heart disease. ONE THIRD OF IT Goes. to the Widow as Dower Right.

Her John Anderson's Will Did Mot Interpret His Instructions A Letter Which Was Never Finished. Joshua M. Van Cott, as referee in the contest over the will of the late Jehn Anderson, to day filed his report Mrs. Elizabeth Anderson, the widow brought suit to recover her dower rights In the properly. The will, which was presented as the last testament of John Anderson, cut her off with a small portion of the estate.

She claimed that It was obtained by undue influence aud did not interpret the wishes of the deceased. Mr, Van Cott's report is in favor of the widow. It appears that John Anderson wrote a letter, misspelled and badly composed, but which Indicated with sufficient clearness what were his wishes as to his wife's share of the estate. Anderson lived on North Portland avenue, In the Seventh Ward. The suit is peculiar because the letter alluded to was used as a basis for the will.

The testator supposed the will would conform to the letter aid sigued It iu that belief. It read as follows: August 1882 Bkookltn 8th I. John Anderson of the City of Brooklyn Co. of Kings State of New York, doth hereby do lsa and will to ray dear neice, Augusta L. Anderson, and also my dear nephew John Andetson that pels of property Known as sn ara ave.

I also to said Elizabeth Cowperthwaite my wife give four lots of ground situated iu the Town of Newtown to her and her heirs forevert I also bequeath and give to Augusta Anderson, John Anderson, my wife Elizabeth and Mary Jano Anderson my niece, daughter of James Anderson, deceased, eight hundred dollars, share and share alike, an insurance policy amonnting to 200 each. The said policy will soon expire. It Is now bearing interest at 5 per cut yearly payable interest each quarter until the principal becomes due.

Tho said policy 1 obtained from Joseph Goldsmith and Barbara his wife as security for the loan of $800. I want you to get this put in proper form by some notary public and bring him to no. 81 Washington ave. and nave duly sigued and witnessed to. If my wife is In don't have It signed before.

I'll send ber out on a message. Now do this as soon as possible for I have a most dangerous disease and I don't know the moment I may be carried off. I called at your house la Greenpoint when I had a little strent left but uuy fortunately no person answered the door. Don't forget what I should have done at first That I am sincere believe in Allmighty God and His Holy Trinity. You'l excuse mo as I had a good deal more to say but I am so weak that I cau Here tne letter breaks off suuaeniy, ana no signa ture Is attached.

Jtwas taken to Lawyer Lyon by Thomas Ander son and a will drawn up as supposed In accordance with its instructions. Tne referee holds that the will Is not in accord with the written instructions of the testator, in that it says the bequests to the plaintiff are in lieu of dower, while the written instructions were that they should be in addition to dower. He holds also tho tes tator signed tho will believing his directions had beon complied with. Anderson died September 30, 1882. The referee stated that he died intestate except so far as tho alleged will shall be held good, and that this will was procured through undue Influence.

He holds that the widow is en tltlod to her full dower rights in tbe estate. IN Tlie SURROGATE'S COURT. Will Proved and Letters ol Adminis tration and Guardianship Granted.

He had received a few hours previously a letter from his wife Informing him that she would meet him at New London to day on his outward cruise. She had beon spending a few days with friends In Essex, Conn. Anxious to speed the vessel on Its way Murray had hurried out on the bowsprit to loosen the Jib, when the crash came. The tugboat, at full speed, cume head on and struck the starboard bow of the Isabella with terrific forco. Murray was caught between the twe craft and crushed In a frightful manner.

He dropred into tbe water a helpless mass of broken bones and mangled flesh and Instantly disappeared, THE CHECKS WERE WORTHLESS, How Tailor Simons Settled with His Creditors.

The Daily Kens prints the following letter from Senator John Iugalls, received by a member of the Kansas delegation in the Republican Convention: Vice President's Washington. June 16. Tours of tho 13lh at hand. It does not make much difference who is nemiuated in my Judgment The candidates will cut but a small ngure in tne ngnt. We can elect anybody, or we snau ran.

i ne least, conspicuous and therefor the least complicated man' will be tho best somebody like Hayes in 1876. Among all the men named there is not one "loauer." No one whose personal or historical relations to the people would make a difference of 1,000 votes in the canvass, bnerman, Allison, uurriauu, records that would he awkward on the tariff, the currency, the Chinese question, eta Depew's connection with railroads and corporations would he a heavy load, especially in the agricultural States. We might as well nominate Gould or Vanderbllt at once. My impression Is that Alger or Gresham come nenrer filling the Dill than auy oi tne otaero, wnu some fellow like Phelps, of Nuw Jersey, who coul reach the conservative forces of the East and get contributions from the manufacturers and Wall street. But you can Judge much better than I what is best after consultiug with the delegates.

Iliad said all that I intendod and all that I desired." Some people say that you ought not to have mentioned the name of Gresham in yur speech." "That's nonsense. The convention had ad journed. It was a mass meeting and I was ex pressly invited to speak. Of courso.it was perfectly proper for mo tell the audience whom I am for.

If I had been Invited to address the convention that would have been another thing. 1 am for Gresham and said bo. 1 always express my opinion. I said nothlug against any candidate. I simply expressed tho hope that Gresham might be nominated.

Special to the Ettglo. Convention Hall, Chicaoo, 111., June 23. Chicago is biddiug swift adieu to the heelorand howler; the wild, whooping escorts who came in company with delegates havo almost wholly de parted. They came for a swift, three day campaign of cheering, lightly provisioned for their stay. Last night a gaily decorated train moved out of town for Sioux City, bearing its load of Allison acclalmers.

The Hoosior hooters for Harrison and Gresham have gone their way. Tho Ouioans who held John Sherman dear have gono back to their corn fields, and tho Alger Wolverines havo thinned their ranks perceptibly. Tlioy havo tried to brace up their courage by strewlDg the town with red placards roaUiug: "What's the matter with Algor 7 He's all right." The delegates and the few shouters who remain are a Jagged, tired out set The city is resuming Its normal aspect, although It la yot bedrnggod with placards, portraits and banners. The most violent desire iu every Visiting heart Is to go home and get washed. The Arizona Apacho lives more comfort than have thoBo President makers.

Daring this hot, grimy week existence has become an exasperation. The charms of the Chicago elephant were greedily exhausted the first couple of days and are too expensive to be followed at this late hour, oven it still fascinating. So the delegates an I visitor are plunged alike into langulshment aud despair and a prayer that to lay may bring an end to the listless struggle. Last night's Ineffective session was adjourned over until 10 o'clock to day. Tho dole gates had harder work than over to pull together that early hour.

Thoy came late to the scratch, weary and worn, to bogln anew their labors. They had been up all night in the wearisome contereaces and showed It sadly. This President making Is tiresome business at tho best, aud the convention is doing it at its worst The morning scone In the hull had no sheoriness in it. Fifteen mluutes before the mooting hour there were no more than ton delegates on the fioor, and Chairman Esteo's resolution to bog in on time was badly stretched. A groat taroug on the night before was hardly duplicated in the morning's audience, though it filled up much as the time wore on, the quota of ladios being again increased.

It was 10:30 when tho gav jl fell and Chairman Estoo, who had renamed liij place, warned tho delegates that they must resume tholr tasks. Thoy did not go at it with avidity. The rank and file members longed to finish up and go home, but the letdors had become suffused with fight and desired adjournment and delay, to the intense disgust of an impatient audience, many of whom had paid to got In. Chauucey M. Dopow was an early comer, but some applause greeted the dethroned caudldate.

Wheu the machine was ready to run, Warner Miller, iu immaculate white vest collar and tie took the chair and acted as chief engineor. Ho was brighter aud more chippor than at any time since Piatt subjugated him and his volte was ringing and clour. Bishop Fellows asked divine guIJauco for the flustered politicians aud peace and prosperity fr the laud. Burly "Bob" Ingersoll did not come to bis usual post on the stago; his uuhappy experience of the night before, wheu ho was hissed oil in the middle of his speech, was too much for oven his heathen nerve. It was the most unique oxperience.that bulb ous person ever endured.

Ue hud ne stomach for more of it. The call of the roil bogan at once. Old Creed Hay mond hoarsely cast California's sixteen votes for Blaine again. A half hurrah followed, but It was hissed down. Harrison got six votea from Connecticut and an incidental yell in the midst ot the ballot McKiuley, of Ohio, rose to request tboss dele gates who had been voting for him to desist therein, saying that while he appreciated the high honor.

he could not, and preserve his own respect, permit his name to be used or to allow a currency of suspicion to remain that he was Infringing on the Sherman boom. I do request, aye, 1 demand," he cried, that no delegate cast reflection by giving his vote for me." Thus one more name vanished from tho long list of contestants. The 44 votes of Illinois were divided, 3 golug for Harrison aud 41 for Grosham. Indiana's 30 went solid for Harrison aud evoked a howl. Iowa stayed with Harrison.

Kansas gave 5 for Allison, 8 for Gresham and 5 for Blaino. Kentucky gave Foraker, Fred Douglass and Blaino 1 apiece. There was the usual spllnteriug up of delegations. Massachusetts quit voting for Blaine and scattered. Alger and Allison received 8 apiece from them.

Minnesota gave Alger 13. Five votos weul to Harrison from New Hampshire. New Jersey split away from Phelps and divided, giving the largest number to narrlson. Then Now York broke. The result was: Allison, E8; Alger, 135; Sherman, 235; McKlnley, 11; Blaine, 42; Harrison, 217; Gresham, 98; For aker, 1 Lincoln, 1 Douglass, 1.

New York gava to Harrison, 59; Blaine, Alger, 4, and Shorman, 1. There was a demand for a poll, and Depew lod it for Harrison. When Kings County was reached Grauvillo W. narman roused a cry by voting for Allison. Theodore B.

Willis, Jesse Johnson, J. Johnson, S. Woodruff, W. J. Taylor and Louis E.

Nicot were for Harrison. Michael J. Dady cast the one Sherman vote in the State delegation. The vote of tho State stood Allison, 1 Harrison, 59; Alger, 3: Sherman, 1. Pennsylvania still had 53 for Sherman, with 7 for Blaine.

Alger bud 10 in South Carolina. Vormont threw her 8 for Harrison, and the quarreling Virginians had to be polled again. Mahone again voted for Sherman and John S. Wise for Harrison, a change. He began with Sherman, Bhlfted to Gresham and went on record for Harrison lastly with a couple tf followers, lildilc berger voted for Allison.

Wisconsin added 20 to Gresham's score, te the delight of his following. The District Columbia gavo 2 for Blaine, with no sensational results. Some vote changing was at tempted but was crushed by the Chair, who was choered for it These were the totals: Allison, 99; Alger, 142; Sherman, 221; Gresham, 87; Harrison, 213; McKinloy, 14; Blaino, 4a THE DEBTS OF Y0DXG BEECHER, A Judginout Against II I Leads Co Com pltcatious. When Henry Ward Beecher died the execu tors set apart $5,600 as the share of his son, Herbert Foote Beecher. This Bum was deposited In the Mechanics' Bank, of Brooklyn, to the order of Henry B.

Beecher, who sent a check on the bank to his brottor Herbert for $2,286.92, the balance being given to bis mother In payment of Herbert's indebtedness. Before the check was presented for payment Charles E. O'Conor was appointed receiver of the property of Herbert Foote Beechor In a proceeding in which a Judgment had beon obtained by Lowie 8. Chase. The amount of the Judgment, with interest, was $650.

Tho bank refused to give up any of the money in its hands on the ground that it belonged lo the estate of his father. Mr. O'Conor then brought suit against the hank to recover tno amount, and the case was tried yesterday in the SupremeCourt, Special Term, before Judge O'Brien, Whe reserved his decision. TO DISCUSS COUKTT FABH MATTERS. The Charities Commissioners were invited this mornlag to attend a mooting of tho County Farm Committee to bo held In the Supervisors' room at 8 o'clock Monday evening.

Several important matters will bo dlscussod. A SETT CHCBCa FOB FBKEPOBT. A of live persons has been ap pol ited to decide on a site tor the erection ot a now Methodist Churoh In tbe Town of Freeport and the old church and church property Main street is To Though He Was Wheezy, and Broken Up. Balky Some Frank Coafessioas from a Crooked Horse Dealer An Animal Whloh Was Disposed of Ererj Day for a Tear The Old Story. Here it is again, the same old story.

It in cludes the wily gyp, the spavined plug, thestool pigeon stable, the bogus and alluring advertisement, the mythical widow, the worthless guarantee, the guileless old farmer, bless bis dusty eyes; the Displaced boodle and the frantic bat futile effort to recapture the honest coin when It Is too late. Brush up the nap of this moth eaten narra tive and It looks as fresh as over. Put In the names and the story Is complete. The latest victims are Farmer John J. Tllton, of Jamaica, and Hugh Clark, a rtoh lime kiln owner of the Fourteenth Ward.

The gyp Is A. Somers, who has been adver? Using horses for sale at 17 Willow place, Roebllug street, near Grand, and 143 Marcy avenue, the only new feature of the story is the fact that Edward MoKnlght, also a gyp, of 272 South Fifth street, Is out with Somers and Is dclng all he can to land that interesting character In Jail. Tllton sued Somers yesterday In Justice Engle's court on Gramd street, to recover $75 on a promissory note given by Somers. Clark Is suing to recover $825 paid for a bad horse and a suit of harness match. There was a lively scene in court when McKnlght took the stand to expose gyp methods.

Tlltou'a story Is short He bought a worthless, wheezy borse from Somera in April, after first dropping In at McKnlght's place. Somers sold him horse alleged to have belonged to a dead brother law, and gave to him the following peculiar warranty: Brooklyn, a April 28, 1888. This Is to certify that A. Somera, havo this aay sold and del leered to John J. Tllton, upon the written warrant, one black horse as he stands, with the exception I warrant him free from all Incumbrance, and he is Just as kind to handle in or out of the stable as any otber place, and works equally as well In double as In single harness; he feeds good and takes his rest well, has good, sound feet and fiat, bonny lees.

And I promise that if said horse does not come up to the above written warrantee at the explratisn ot ten days I will take him baok and refund tha manav. nravlded he la returned In as good condition as when delivered. And I in consideration of this written warranty alone and not upon any verbal or other representations pay to day to A. So men the sum of 188. John Tilton.

In consideration of the foregoing agreement I have this day received from the said John J. Tllton the sum of $86. A. SOHIBS. Tllton found that the horse could nt pull any thing heavier than its tall.

He saw Somers who told him the dead brother in law had the money paid by Tilton and handed to the latter a promissory note for $75 on the Jamaica National Bank, due In thirty days, which was worthless. Somers sub sequently paid to Tilton $10 in cash. "I know all about Soniers," McKnlght testified, when pot on the witness stand, and about this horse business. I have been iu tho business' In Brooklyn, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston and elsewhere lor years, I might as well say now that I skinned a man every time I got a chance and would and will again, lu a horse trade. That's my business.

We always advertise private stables of widows, and sometimes men going abroad, for sale, and tho would be purohaser, believing that the horses ot such people arejalways good call to buy. We give the horse a record; that Is no trouble. Tllton called upon me to buy a horse, but as I looked like a dealer sharp, I suppoao, he would not purchase, He visited Somers. I met Somers that after noon, and ho said: 'Isold Josiah to that old sucker ot a farmer that you had In your wagon to I know Josiah very welL He is an old stager, wheezy, balky and generally broken up. He was sold once every day and twice some pays for a year, I sold him myself at least fifty times within the year that he was supposed to be in the possession of Mr.

Somers' sister's husband. Nearly all the dealers had him and sold him time and again. He was sentarouud from one to another to sell. He must have been sold at least 380 times Inside the year. I soil all kinds ef horses, good and bad; I left the Eastern Dlstrlot and keep now at 132 West Sixteenth street, New York.

A policeman stood In front of my stable for Borne days while I kept on Roebling Btreet and he notified men to ea ter to purchase." Lawyer Donnelly for Somers cross examined Til ton. "This horse," said Lawyer Davis, who repre sented Tilton, was sold by every horse skin in the country. Il was warranted sound and kind when it i was wheezy, balky and broken down." "We are willing to livo up to our warrantee," said Mr. Donnelly. "The document says, 'He is Just as kind to handle in or out of Btable as any other and so he is" (laughter, In which the Court Joined).

"And again, 'He works equally well In single or double and so he does" (renewed laughter). "Again, 'He feeds good and takes his rest welL'" "That's the only (blag Josiah does good," cried Mr. Davis with emphasis. "See, our warrantee is correct," said Mr. Don nelly.

There was another burst of laughter. "On the admission of tho lawyer himself the doc ument Is a fraud," said Mr. Davis, Indignantly. Mr. Tllton said In his affidavit," said Mr.

Don nelly, "that my client Is a fraud and a fakir. Yet we live up to our agreement" Laughter. Somers was committed to JalL AN OPULENT BOOTBLACK, Wtio Became tbe Victim of a Very Agred Swindle. Frank Poppe, an Italian bootblack, having chair on tho corner of Thirty fifth street and Third avenue, and living at 204 Hester streot, New York, told tho following In the Tomb3 Police Court, In that city, to day: 'About 8 o'clock last night two well dressed men came to my stand and asked for a shine I did the work for thorn, after which one of them, who was about 45 years old, bocamo very confi dential. He said he was a stranger from California, and had $6,000 with him, which he was.

afraid he would lose in the city if he carried it around with hlai, Ho then produced a bag con taining several rolls neatly done up In brown paper. The rolls, ho said, were $20 gold pieces. 'Keep he said, 'till I call for them. Now, what can I have from you as security I replied that I had nothing to offer but $30. 'I'll accept said tbe stranger, aud be took the money from my hand.

I objected to this and demanded the return of my $80. Here the second man stepped up and said it would be all right "Here is 13 of my money," he said, "to go with it as security," and handed the amount to stranger No. 1. No. 2 then said to mo: "You and I will divide the $6,000 between us.

Let the countryman go." No. 1 then walked away. On opening the packages in the bag I found that the gold pieces wero nothing but cardboard cut the size of $20 pieces. 1 then ran after No. 2, who had also disappeared.

I tracked him to 96 Bowery and called Policeman McCafterty, of the Mulberry street station, to my aid, and the man was taken Into custody. At the Btatlon houso the prisoner said bo was John Farllar, 26 years old, and lived at 70 Baxter street The prisoner was arraigned and discharged by Justice Welde, Pappe not being able to swear posi tively to his Identity. Pappe is now looking for the man who swindled htm out of the $80. STATE LEAGUE OF DEMOCRATIC CLUBS. Now Vorh.

How Brooklyn is Plundered by the Electric Liffht Monopolists The War to Bring Them to Terms Fabulsns Profit for the Trust The City Has the Blatter in Its Own Hand, if Its Eleeted Officials Are Not Corrupted or Cowed bj the Gang.

The following open letter to the Board of Estimate is by the Hon. Beth Low and has been received by the Board to which It was addressed. The subject and its treatment are of equal Interest and Importance to the public at this time: Brooklyn, Juue 21, 1888. the Honorable the Board of Kttimate: Gentlemen I beg to submit herewith to your Honorable Board my reasons for believing that sufficient power resides in you to enable you completely to protect the city from wrong In the matter of electric lighting. You have only to deal with the electrio light companies as your predecessors dealt with the gas companies In order to produce the desired result.

The streets of tho city were lit in 1875. by 14,158 gas lamps, costing 1583,000. In 1884, by 14,713 gas lamps, costing $314,000. In other words, In 1884 the city secured 500 more lights than in 1875 for a sum which showed the enormous saving of $270,000 per annum. This result was brought about gradually by conlinued decrease of the appropriations.

The appropriation in 1875 wits $675,000.00 Th ni.nmnriatinn in 1876 WHS Tho appropriation in 1877 was 426,11.00 The appropriatinn in 1878 was The appropriation in 1819 was 401.000 00 The appropriation in 1830 was 8 The approprintian In 18S1 was The appropriation in 1883 wai Th3 appropriation in 1883 was The appropriation in 18B4 was 314.000.00 In 1876, when the appropriation was firstteduced, about six hundred lamps were Bhut off, but the number of lighted lamps Increased every year from that polut on until they reached their maximum in 1884, Just prior to the Introduction of electric light. The figures of lighted lamps, together with the actual cost, each year are as follows: In 1875 14,158 lamps cobs 8593,404.00 In ll)76 13,542 lam ps cost 423,726.00 In 1877 13,9 )2 lamps oost 415,137.00 In 1873 14.133 lamps cost 309,071.00 In 1879 oost 327.4W.0O In 1880 lamps cost 326,446.00 In 1881 14.367 lamps oost 313,848.00 In lii2 14 491 lamps oost 325,261.00 In 1 83 11,011 Hmps oost 831,791.00 In ld8i 14,712 lampj oost 813,681.00 It cannot be doubted that the same process will produce the same results with relation to electrio lights. Tho electric light companies no doubt will accept tbeir present large profits as long as the city Is content to pay them, but it Is not probable that the electrio light companies will decline to furnish electric lights uutll the city demands them at an actual loss. predecessors brought the gas companies to terms, when they were obliged to face, on bohalf the city, the alternative of darkness in case the gas companies refused to concede their lghts at a lower figure. You have this great advantage over your predecessors, that, in case of such relusal by the electrio light companies, the city will be relegated only back to gas and not to complete darkness.

I risk nothing, thorofore, in saying that by sagacious action on your part you can compel tne electric light companies to deal fairly with the city. It becomes, therefore, a matter of great importance to ascertain at what price the electrio light can be afforded. In connection with this subject the first point to demand attention Is the candle power of the light furnished. In most cities 2,000 candlo power is the standard. In Brooklyn the light furnished Is of 1,200 candle power only.

There Is acracely any noticeable difference In the volume of light between the 1,200 and the 2,000 candle power, but the lower power can be much more cheaply supplied, After careful Inquiry I conclude that the difference, In first cost ot plant and in operating ex not less than lOpercoutln favor of the 1,200 candlo power light Some estimates given to me make the 1,200 candle power as much as 30 per cent the cheaper. I am confident that 1 am well within range in assuming that the cost of the 1,200 candle power is 10 per cent, less than the 2,000 candle power. For tho sake of clearness, therefore, I snail reduce In overy case the price of the usual standard lights to tho Brooklyn standard of 1,200 candle power by deducting 10 per cent from the actual prico paid. At the present time In Brooklyn we are Daviug $182.50 a year per lamp of 1,200 candle power. The electric lights upon the bridge, being 2,000 candle power, each cost $176.50 per annum, or by the Brooklyn standard, $159.

In this estimate of cost it is proper lo say that no account has been made of interest on the plant which cost tho bridge $27,000, neither is any charge made for the boilers. The service of superintendent, engineers, Inspec tors, trimmers and linemen Is, however, counted in. The number of lights furnished Is only eighty five, aud the cost of trimming and Inspection is exces slvo on the bridge on account of the constant vibration of the structure due to passing loads. The number of electric lights paid for by tho city last year was 1,007. It is manifest that so large a number can be furnished at a much less cost per lamp than the smaller number operated by the brl lga.

It appears, therefore, that a public work like the bridge is furnishing itself with 2,030 candle power light more cheaply than the city of Brooklyn Is being furnished with 1,200 candle power light I learu from a paper recently published by the American Economic Association that in Toledo, competition brought the cost of electrio lighting down from $165 to $40 per light per year, or, upon the Brooklyn standard, from $149 to $36. Iu Lon don, Ont, the price has beon down by a sharp competition, botween the Brush and the Thomson Houston companies to $102 per annum, or, by the Brooklyn staudard, to $92 per annum. These fl( ures Illustrate, what Is undoubtedly the fact, that the electric light companies in any place will secure as large a sum per night as bie. They Indicate that the price paid, here or there, is no guide to the actual cost of furnishing the lights. Lowlston, owns its plant, and furnishes itself with electric light by tho use of water power, at a cost of f51 per annum or on the Brooklyu standard at a cost of $46 per light It may be couceded that the use of nator power where it can be had in place of steam, cheapens the cost of the light, but It oheapens it only to the extent of the difference between the cost of the two kinds of power.

It is, therefore, cloar that the elec tric light will pay handsome dividends at figures enormously below those which the City of Brooklyn is now paying. From such careful Inquiries as I have been able to make, tho quarters where I should seek Information In case I proposed to erect an electric light plaut at iny own expense, I am led to believe that for the purpose of furnishing 1,000 or 1,500 lights, $75 per annum, running all night, will pay more than 10 per cent on actual plant, allowing 5 per cent, for depreciation, 2,000 candle power lights. For our Brooklyn standard, therefore, the cost would be not over $67.50. I may say that this in formation comes to me from sources which I believe to be trustworthy, but It does not come from companies seeking to compete in Brooklyn. From these considerations it is palpable that, at present rates, Brooklyn la paying enormously beyond a fair aud proper charge for electric lighting upon tho scale in which it is now lu use lu the city.

In this connection I would like to call your attention to this other circumstauee. In 1885. wheu there were but 824 olectrlo lamps paid for by the city, the city was reoeivln tho benefit of 19 free lights. The following year, 1888, with 995 electrio lamps the city received but 16 free lights. In 1887 with 1,007 electric lamps the city received but 18 free lights.

1 take pleasure In saylug that all the figures which I have given as relating to the city, have been furnished to me by the courtesy of the Commissioner ot City Works; and those which I have given in relation to the bridge. have been furnished to me by the courtesy of the uperlo landent, Mr, C. Martin, These gentlemen are not to be held responsible, however, for my deductions from their figures. If I may make a definite suggestion to your Honorable Board 1 should propose that you make your appropriation for electrio lights and tor gas lights, as separate accounts, so as to prevent tho transfer of money from one ac count to the other. You can then fix absolutely tha sum to be spent for electricllghtlng during the next year, and I am confident that at $75 per lamp per night, the city will not be called upon to dispense with a single electric light.

I am very doubtful If a single electrio lamp would be withdrawn even should your appropriation be upon a lower scale than this. With the opportunity in the hands ot the olty to fall back upon gas, for the time being, lu case ol need, the city will run comparatively little risk In any case. Your honorable Board will realize that under all conditions the best safeguard the city can have lies In your action. Electrio lighting, like gas lighting, is so far exempt from tho ordinary rules of competition that a number of companies in a city are as likely as not to pool their earnings, or to parcel out the territory into districts for them selves. This Is illustrated in Brooklyn by tne ac cord between tho two existing companies.

The city, therefore, is Justified, it 1 may be permitted to say so, iu looking to the Board of Estimate for protect ion against exortlon. Commending suggest ions to your careful attention, I have the honor to be. gentlemen, your obedient servant, ISlgnedl 8ETH LOW. HANGED HERSELF. A Prussian Woman Who Was Tired ol Life.

SMITH KOBI KB. BaoOBXYis, June 23, 1888. ENGIHKtt SHAW'S WAV OF AB8BNCB. County Engineer Johri Shaw has been granted a two weeksUeave of fu.aace;j(inin of hUhoaitn, Mr.snawissiiu. He half her a and he her by a to Will His Brutal Murder Unavenged? Go The Last of the Many Crimes that Have Disgraced Rockaway Beach Robbery the Motive.

The mystery surrounding the trngio death John J. Baugb, the locomotive engineer, whose body was found on Rockaway Boach, Thursday morning, has not been cleared up because the officer whose duty it Is to conduot investigations crime Is doing nothing to get at the bottom facts. That the man was murdered goes without saying, and that tbe motive for the crime was robbery is Just as certain. The wonder is that Baugh not decapitated tbe first night he spent on tho beach, but It may be tbat the circumstances were favorable. It is safe to conclude that the perpetrators of the crime had him under surveillance and the fight In Johnson's barroom may have been part of the plot, as It could easily be said tbat he was stabbed In the melee.

It turned out, howover, that Baugh was Injured. The agent who leased a flat lu East New York to Baugh states that last Saturday morning Baugh and his wife had a little difficulty and he left home In consequence of It Thore Is testimony to show that Baugh arrived at the beach Saturday afternoon and remained until Tuesday morning. Samuel Hendrlckson saw Baugh and Johnson, the proprietor of the Now York Hotel, on the train from tho beach and accompanied them as far as Woodhaven. saw Baugh pay Johnson some money. The presumption is that thoy went to New York together as they returned to tbe boach In company Tuesday evening, according to Mr.

Hendrlckson. He is, however, contradicted by Mrs. Johnson, who says her husband has not beon at tho beach since Tuesday morulng, Belle Murray said at first that Johnson was at home Tuesday night, and thea denied It The point is not material, as the tragedy occurred on Wednesday night, and no one pretends that Johnson was at home then. The fact that he has not vlBlted the beach since learning of Baugh's death is tho subjeat of muoh comment son, whoso Illness kept her awake all night, professes great Ignorance for one whs could not fail to know every move that was made In the house. She reclined a bed In the room adjoining the bar room and so near the stairway that she must have heard people they passed up and down.

There is one man who escaped from the beach Thursday morning whom the police are auxious to find. He is an Italian carpenter named Paul Kleber and he hangs out in the Bowery in the vicinity or Johsou'a saloon. Ho will probably oe taken Into custody to day or to morrow. He was present at the fight and romalned during the night the hotel, though no psraon appears to know Just where he slept Belle Murray ts sure he had no room. Thomas Loeser, a hotel keepor, was probably the first man to see Baugh after he reached the beach on Saturday.

He soon fell Into the company of George Washington Smith, and Loeser, knowing Smith's character, warned Baugh to keep away from him and not get roped in at Johnson's, but Bangh seems to have had his curiosity aroused by this tip and to have hurried to tbo disreputable place. Dr. Caldwell, who made the post mortem on Baugh's body, told a reporter on Thursday that the wounds in the abdomen were not inflicted by the man himself and that they were sufficient to cause death. Yesterday the doolor refused to make any statement The probability la that Baugh did net go to bed all In tbe New York Hotel, notwltbstaudlng the statement of Belle Murray that she and her lover, Engel, saw Baugh to his room about midnight In a helplessly intoxicated condition. Eugelsald to day that he himself was so drunk he does not remem ber a thing that occurred, but he is positively falsi tying, as yesterday he freely told about the fight and claimed to have been knocked senseless by a blow from a beer glass.

He claims to huve gone to bed at 10 o'clock in the barroom, but Belle Murray says he did not, because the fight occurred at midnight, and it was long after that when the barroom was cleared, and she lay down onthe floor and went to sleep. She admits that sbe drank a good deal, but was not drunk. Baugh's clothing was not found la the room where he is said to have slept He could not have undressed himself if as druuk a3Belie Murray says, and both she aud Eagle deny belpiug him to disrobe. It follows that he must have tumbled Into bed fully dressed, if at all. When Baugh's body was found on the beach all It had on was trousers and stockings.

Mrs. Johnson Is positive tbat Baugh had money and a gold watch when she saw him at o'clock' la the evening, the time at which she claims he went to bed. The watch and the money disappeared. Tho Eaolr reporter drew from Belle Murray the admission that she visited Baugh's room an hour after putting him to bod and saw that he was sleeping soundly, and when pressed to explain why she went alone to Baugh's room she cried and said she could give no reason. Dr.

Caldwell has said that Baugh must have bled prof useiy from the wounds In the abdo men, but not a sign of blood could be found on the bed clothes or In room 18, and the absence of blood stains would seem to be A suffieiem refutation of the suggestion that Bangh luflicted the wounds himself. If be had doue so he could not have got out of the hotel without leaving a trail ol blood on the uncarpetod floor. These points all go to clinch the theory that Baugh did not occupy a room, but was decoyed to a lonely spot on the beach, in a stupidly drunken state, robbed aud stabbed and left for the surt te swallow him up. If the sea had claimed the body and landed it on some other boach, Baugh's disappear ance would have been chronicled In the book of mysteries and he would have been burled In some potter's field. This morning Captain Kavanagh took the pris oners Smith, Engel and Belle Murray to the beach, and they were recommitted by Justice Healy for examination at tbe inquest on Monday.

Frank Nelson, the paper banger, who had his skull cut open in the fight, is to be arrested and held as witness. He remained in the hotel all night under Dr. Fbileo's care and ought to know what occurred there. The doctor is also considered an Important witness. OFF FOR EUROPE.

It was owned by Edward Carr and Robert Slonman, of Hamburg. It was rumored recsntly that the partnership had been dissolved, and that four ot tho steamships would in future dock with the Hamburgh Bremen Line, by whom they had been purchased, at the Company's wharf, Hoboken. These steamers are the California, Australia, Polynesia and Polynia. The others, including the Amalfl, Sorrento, Tara monlo, Marsalia aud India, will tie up la the At lantic Basin, as bofore, and it Is stated that two new steamships will be added to the lino. Yesterday the shed aud wharf were quite empty, the superintendent was absent and the only signs Of life were presented by three subordinates ot the company, who stated tbat the partnership bad been dissolved and tho vessels sold as stated.

Tno saloon and store keepers around the Basin deemed to share In the general tone of despondency ob servable everywhere, and the withdrawal ot these vessels was regarded by as another instance of disaster following fast on, tbe already ruinous state ot the shipping trade. At some of the shipping offices In this olty whloh do business with this line inquiries were made, but It was stated there they had not heard of the alasolu tion of partnership nor of the sole of the steamers and were booking passen gers by this line as usual.
