After appointing a committee to amend the constitution in conformity with that of Tammany hall the meeting adjourned.

WAS IT COLOR OB RUM? Letter Carrier WoIIm Arrested at Supper After the Opera. P. P. Wells, a colored letter carrier, vf ho was arrested for intoxication on Myrtle avenuo, on Wednesday night, says that ho wasu't drunk; that he only pleaded guilty because his bondB men told him that would be choaper than fighting, and that all of his troubles come because he was ill treated on ncaount of bis color. Wells says that ho and Mrs.

Wolls and a Mr. Johnson, son of the superintendent of tho orphan asylum on 'pkimer street, aud Miv. Johnson went to the opera together. After tho curtain fell on the "Seven Swabians" Mr. Johnson auggnated supper, and took thorn to Henry McDonna's restaurant, 13 Myrtle avenue.

The waiter re nsed to servo the party, and when askod the reason McDonna camo forward and told them he didn't serve colored people. Afterward McDonna told them he waa clo iing up and would take no moro orders, bat Wells Bays that the place waa full and meals were being cooked for people then at the tables. MoDonna called an offlcor. thero was a good deal of loud talk and Wells and hi party were put out. Wells waa arrested afterward on the street and was bailed by Dr.

Pitts, of 171 State street, and D. P. Dye, of 131 Conrt Btreet. An.EAOLR reporter asked McDonna thia morning if he refused to serve Wells because ho waa colored and tho restaurant keeper replied: "Indeed, I did not. I know too much for that.

I told tho waiter whon they were coming in that wo would serve no more orders. They insisted on being served and I went ont to them and that Wells waa drunk. I Wouldn't have them thon anyway. They asked my reasons and I told them I had private reasons of my own. Those colored people are awfuUyaua picioua and important.

If I gave thorn the same coffee and sugar I gave yon they would deolare it waan't. One of theso women told mo she would make me pay for not waiting on them." Wells and hia wifo are quiot, well bohaved appearing people, who do not look as if tbey would givo other off use than the color of thair Blrins in any publio resort. Wells was appoiuto i a carrier at tho past office, August 8, 1888, after passing a civil service examination. Thero havo been no charges against him at the office, and ho is anxious to clear up this case. He admits two drinks of whisky one beforo tho opera and one afterward, but Bava he was not drunk or was not troublesome in his language until ho waB insullod for his color and until the officer talkod savagely to him.

The Sooiety for tho Prevention of Crnolty to Children in New York waa recently notified that a boy about 10 years of ago was living in a dis. orderly house at 210 West Fortieth streot. Agents Becker and Barclay wore detailed on the case. Thoy went to the houao on Wednesday eveniug and found that the boy, whoso name is Frank Hall, was used as a messenger for the inmates of the house and that he was in the habit serving liquor to the patrons of the house. The agents for the society appeared before Juatico Gorman in Jefferson market court yesterday and secured warrants for tho arrest of Mary Hall, aged 50 yeara, tho proprietress of the house.

Whon tho officera went to the house last night to oxeonte the warrant they found that somo ono had given the inmatea tho "tip" and that the houaa was vacant. Thia morning MrB. Hall, accompanied by her lawyer, Louia B. Allen appeared in Jefferson inarkot conrt. Tnree ohargea wero preferred against hor violating tho oxoiao law, keeping a disorderly house and corrupting a child's morals.

By tho advice of counsel Mrs. Hall waived examination aud waa roleaed od $1,200 buil for trial. The boy ia a nephew of Mrs. HaU, bnt waa spirited away and the officora havo been unable to find him. TflAT OLD JIAK AGA1.V.

He Passed Away at 9:45 o'Cleck This Morning From Paralysis Tho Stery ef Mi Military Carear A Brave Soldier Gone. General Abram Dnryee died at 0:45 o'clock this morning at his residence iu West One Hundred and Twenty sixth street. He had been ill for some time paBt with paralysia, and it waa not believed that he would recovor. Ho aerved throughout tho war of the rebellion and founded the corps known aa the Duryoo zonavea. General Dnryee was born in New York city April 29, 1815, and waa of Huguenot descent.

His grandfather saw aervice in tho revolutionary war and was familiar with the appearance of tho sugar house prison in Liberty streot, where ho was confinod. Tho war of 1812 claimed the services of hia father and two uncles aa officers. The general's education waa with a view to entrance upon mercantile life, in which, after graduation from tho Crosby street high school, success crowned him aa a mahogany merchant. In thia business he mado a fortune in Now York. In 1833 ho entered the New York stato militia, serving in tho One Hundred aud Fortv Becond regiment.

After a lapse of five years he Joined tho Twenty seventh regiment, which has since become tlio Seventh, and rose through tho auccoi Bive grades from privato to tho rank of colonel in 1840. Thia position ho hold fourteen yeara. Ho was twice wounded during the Astor placo riots while commanding his regiment, and was in tho subsequent police, city hall. Sixth ward and dead rabbit riota with tbo Seventh rogiment. When the late war broke he, in less than a week, in April, ISO 1 raided the regiment known as Dur yee's zouaves, tho Fifth New York volunteers.

Tho zouavca were in at Big Bethel, the first battle of the war, and after that fight Colonel Dnryee waa made acting brigadier general, superseding General E. W. Pierce. Tho new brigadier got hia commission iu August, 1801, and took command of a brigado in tho division commanded by Geuoral James B. Ricketta.

He took part in the battles of Cedar Mountain, Thoroughfare Gap, second Bull Run and Chantil ly, and was with the army of tho Potomac at South Mountain and Antietam, commanding at the last named place General Ricketta' division when the latter succeeded General Hooker aa corps commander. Returning, after a short leavo of absence to the army, General Duryeo found that his brigade had been given to an inforior in rank, and hia claiina to tho position being ignored, he resigued in January, 1863. He received at the close of tho war the brovet of major general. Later, when he waa elected colonel of the Seventy firat regiment and brigadier general of the Fourth New York brigade, ho declined both honora. Two other regiments boBide his own took tho namo of Duryee'a zouaves.

Those were the Ono Hundred and Sixty fifth and the Fourth regiments of tho National guard. General Duryoe waB appointed police commissioner of New York in 1873 aud held the office for a number of years. In Jauuaty, 1874, at the time of the communistic gathering in Tompkins square, ho attacked tho crowd with a small force of police and drove them from the square, capturing their banners. SHOT A STRANGE BIRD. John Connors Create a Sensation in lFlatbuou and Flalland.

John Connors, who resides on the old Clove road, Flatbuah, yeaterday, made most unexpected capture while out gunning. Counor3 waa in queat of hihalderi in the Padogat woods when an nnuBual rustle of the dying foliage near by attracted his attention, and aa he gazed a strango bird, unknown to thia section of the country, waa in full Bight. He had never seen anything like it beforo and was for a moment in doubt whether it was a real bird, a mammoth moaquito of Jersey typo or a vision. Recovering himaolf, however, Oonnora fired and brought down the bird, whioh proved to be a fine specimen of the crane of the semi tropic latitudes. From too to the top of its head when erect the bird measured something over fivo feet, and from tip to tin of outstretched winga four and one half feet.

Mr. Connor will have the skin Btnffed at the auggeation of numerous frionda who have come from all parts of the town and Flatlanda to see hia prizo. None has ever seen a bird like it ia thia neighborhood beforo. The crano ia of a light slato color with white points and neck and of fine plumage. SEIZED BY DEPUTY TUCKER.

The OTartibal's Office Trail Iosesvioa oS a Derelict llaw Itoat. Deputy Marshal Tucker, of Marshal Lako's office, seized a row boat laat evening. Somo time ago the tug boat Annio M. Bauer pickod up a deserted row boat in tho East river, such aa is nsed by junk men. Kearn Larkin is the owner of the tug, and he duly advertised tho find.

In 'due time the owner appearod and made his claim. He claima to roside near tho foot of De graw street, but his name ia uukuown. Larkin claimed $3.50 for expenses of advertising: thia the owner declined to pay, saying he had pull enough to get hia boat in spite of Larkinc The latter, howevor, waa better posted in maritime affairs aud was not tobebuldozed out of hia right. He went to Lawyers Gooderich, Deady Gooderich and filed a libel for salvage, on tho strength of which Marahal Tuckor posted a plaster on the yawl, which lies at tho foot of Greenpoint avonue. The Degraw streot man will probably havo to pay dearly for his belief in tho power of Sixth ward politicians.

TnE CASE POSTPONED. The case of Albert Altenbiand, of tho Atlas brewing company, 94 and 00 Kent avenue, who is accused of defrauding the internal revenne department by making false entries, was to have oome up beforo Unitod States Commissioner Benedict this morning.

The Baltimore Consumed a Big Lot of Fuel. She Was Not Ordered ta at Half Speed to Swedes aad Her Slow Tiiaa Was Caused by the Foulness of the Hull A Cltar Explanation. Booeial to the Eaglo.l Washington, D. September 27. In criticising tho performance of the Baltimore on her trip from Now York to Gothenburg no effort has been made by r.nyono familiar with naval matters to prove auch an abaurd proposition aa that she ia a worthlnaa vessel.

Tho Eaoi.e haa called attention to the fact that she ex hauated her onormor.8 coal supply in traveling 3,500 miiea at tho very ordinary Bpoed of eight and a half knota per hour while being carried on the naval lists aa a twenty knot ship. If she wero a twenty knot alup, with the coal she burned she should havo travelod over fivo thousand milea in the seventeen days Bho was at Hea. Or to put tho came fact differently, burning the coal she did burn, if her apoed classification waB correct ahe should have reached Gothenburg in about eleven daya. Somebody who ia ignorant of naval methods has written to certain Journals that the ship waa under orders to run at hivlf speed. The navy department does not order commanders of vesselx ao Bpeoilically.

Shipa are ordered to proceed directly," or with all possible dispatch," or by eaay st.igoB," alwaya leaving Horn discretion to hor officers. But that haa nothing to do with the Baltimore's trip, for every one knows that alio did not make half class lied speed, while she did burn coal enough to make three quarters speed with some to Hpare. If sho were rated as a tiftoen knotship at full apeed, then ahe did make half apce.l or eightand a half knots, but Bbe uBed an abnormal amount of coal to do oven that, conceding her maximum speed to bo fifteen knots. The point that should not bo lost aight of ia that thia government haa been paying for speed premiums at the rate of $200,000 a knotor $50,000 a quarter knot, over a measured milo, and rating ships' speed by that record iu comparing them with tho fis ora of foreign naviea. Tho Baltimore is tha fastest and best abip of her ago in tho United States navy.

Under actual conditions she ha:) shown herself to be somowhat of an improvement over lur predecessors. But she is a coil burner above all things. Naval officora are unanimously of the opinion that the came of tho low performance of the uliip is to be found in the faotthat her bottom waa foul It is impossible to keep barnacles and other aea growth off a Bteel ship unless ahe ia frequently docked, scraped and painted, and the lialtimore haa not been out of aalt water sinco April 7 at Norfolk. Steel war Rhina must bo docked every two months if economy in coal consumption is to be considered. The old wooden ships with coopered bottoms needed cleaning but once a year.

All tho other nations on the globe are sheathing their steel vessels with a akin of wood covered by aheet copper just to overcome this tondoncy of fteel to rapidly bocoruo foul. As it costs on an averngo of $2,000 to dock a ship in a navy yard, not to mention other repairs that are always found necessary when a ship goes into dock, lie extra expense of ahr atli ing would soon be offset and the snip would al waya be reasonably clean. There are no patents on sheathing. The actual speed tho Baltimore has made in her long voyage has very little to do with the discussion. It is tho fact that she used about 1,000 tons of going miles in stoad of 500 tons thiit she nhnuld have used in seventeen days at 200 knols per day.

That is tha measure of her performance brought down to dollars aud cents and it is nothing to brag about. A EXl'EBIEXCE. Seme ot the Schcinci 4Iuptcd te Ifiob tlie Iavy Vjvril. Talking about tho stealing from tha navy yard, Roundsman Thomas Lestrange said to an Kaoi.u reporter yesterday afternoon in Marshal Lake's office: "I had a queer experience yesterdai'. While taking a walk along part of tho water front I camo upon a fellow who didn't look much like belonging to tho place.

When I questioned him he said ho entered in a grocery wagon which waa then after leaving. I advised him to tako himaolf off as fast aa ho could and ho took my advice to the extent of going down to the Bawtnill. I followed and found him as he was just after divesting himself of an entire suit of clothes, under which he woro an old black jacket and a pair of overalls, kept in place by a piece of tarry ropo. He throw his own clothes behind a pile of logs. When I arrested him he was evidently preparing for a raid and was rigged out to look like a working man.

That fellow waa fly, I tell you, but I happened to catch him. I made him pick up hia things, and took him be fore Commander Lilly, who ordered him to bo pnt outside the gate and not allowed to return. It ia a mighty hard job to keep track of the schemes put up to rob Uncle Sam." DELINQUENT HUSBANDS. Three of Them Arraigned in Cioetlitig'N Court I'll is TJoriiiiijr. When Horrify waa arraigned beforo Justice Goetting this morning on the chargo of neglecting to provide according to hia meana for hia wife, Ellen, and hia four little children.

Mrs. Herrity, in team, said: "If ho would only give up drink he would bo all right. It ia drink which has brought him to thia. Last week we wero dispossessed. All that I havo recoivod from him in fivo weeks was $2." Herrity, who is a man of rather good appearance, owned up his fault and promised io do hotter hereafter.

Tho juatice held him for trial till October 7. The justice held to anBwer on the aamo day, John charged by hia wifo Mary, with abandonment. John, who is employed in Havo moyers snerar refinery, says that hia wifo haa been living away from him for three years and nevor bothered him in all that time for support till now. Mrs. Allen admitted that during the past three years sho has Bupportod herself, but ofttn needed support.

For tho past two wcoka the various companies havo been meeting for drill and atrnction in tho evolutionB of tho soldier, and from the display made last night there ia no doubt that their time has not been spent iu vain.

Alderman McGarry 'he firat man to erect a polling placo for election. Although there aro many of these contrivances about to be put up in various wards, the Tenth will have tho honor of taking the first step. Tlio building ia situated ou Wyckoff atreet. near Bond. It ia one of three to be erected in the Tenth ward.

The others will bo placed respectively on Fourth street, between Smith and Hoyt, and on Douglass atreet, between Third and Fourth avenues. Tho one on Wyekoff street ia already built, and presents a quoor appearance, placed aa it is on theedge of the sidewalk. It is 25x15 feet in dimensions and 10 or moro feet high. It overlaps the gutter, and la built on props ao that tho water on the street may pass under it. It does not obstruct travel in any manner, except that the novelty may attract such a crowd of juDilant Tenth warders to admire its unattractive appearance that vehicles and paasera by will have to take another Btreet.

Tho house ia made up in sections and is fastened together by bolts. There is ono door. Four windows aro on either aide, and several skylights furnish light. At oaoh window will be placed booth, thus giving voters plenty of light. The railing will start at either Bide of the doorand extend back some teu feot, giving lota of space for tho work.

The building costa the oity $250, which includes a Btovo and tables, chaira and lamp light. The door is wide enough for one'peraon to pass through comfortably, and is entered from the' middle of the street. This may probably cauio some trouble, aB the crowd which will undoubtedly surround the door on election day will interfere very much with the entrance and departure of the votera. Unless a couplo of mon aro atationed about to keep the men at a certain distance from tho door there may bo a great deal of unnecessary delay. However, aa six persons may be in tho place at ono time things may work Binootbly, nevertheless.

It took only a day to put up the polling place, but the booths will not ba put in till tho day before election. Aa these aro folding affaira it will take only a few minutes to place them in position. Tho only danger expected is from tho boys in the neighborhood. They havo boeu watching the novelty with many manifeBtationa of delight and many knowing glances have been exchanged among thorn. What they mean Mr.

McGarry could not explain, but he suggested that aB the juvenilea of the Tenth ward are very patriotic on election day he thought they may have a achemo on hand to carry off the polling place and make a beautiful fire out of it. He called to mind the many fine blazes he canttod when ho waa a youngater and celebrated the day and made things hum for all tho candidates, and he gave it as his opinion that a watch would havo to be placed on the building in order that cold water could ba thrown in equal quantities on tho ardor of the boya and tho building should tbey attempt to steal or make a bonfiro of that com bustible article. Thua the matter stands, with the odds very mnoh in favor Of tho boya, but all are equally jubilant over the fact that tho Tenth ward can claim tho honor of having the first polling in the oity. Mr. McGarry ia confident that the now system will have no offeot on tho overwhelming Democratic majority given by his ward last year.

ANTHONY GOULD ARRESTED. The itlau Charged With Aiding au Embezzler Bank Funds. Anthony Gould, of Albany, who ia under indictment for aiding and abetting George B. Whitney, a olerk in the Albany city national bank, in embezzling the funds of that institution, was arrested to day at 140 Madison avenue, in New York, where he was stopping with hii young and handsome wife. On Friday, Unitod States Assistant District Attorney Rose received a bonch warrant from tho United States attorney of Albany with a requoat that Gould, who was known to be iu New York, should bo arrested.

A belief was expressed that Gonld intended leaving for Europe, Upon the affidavit of United Statos Assistant Diatriot Attorney Rose and upon tho bench warrant issued by the Unitod States criminal court of Albany, United States Oommis sioner Shields iSBued hia warrant, which was placed iu the hands of Deputy Marshal Trontfeld. The deputy found Gould at tho placo named and took him in custody. Gould Boomed to be very much agitated and hia wifo wa3 greatly troubled over her husband'a arrest.

noyitl Bahlnff Powder Absolutely 1 HizhesttaIijbiiiiisrow(ir O.S.Qav.a9port,'a IBl lab Why Reaington Made the Complaint Against Parsells. The Evidenea for the Defease Ib the Brib ery Case John EroTrn 's Prophecy and Its Fulfillment Facts Absnt tho Federal Clnb. Thero was some lively sparring between Unitod States District Attornoy Jesse Johnson and Hugo Hirsh, opnosiug counsel in the case of Pierro Parsells, foreman of tho iron plating department in the navy yard, in the trial beforo United States Commissioner Bellows. Tho Republican workings in tlto way of appointments to employment in the navy yard were thrown open to the light of day and one witness testified that ho warned the complainant that unless his son became a member of tho Twentieth ward Federal clnb he had no chanco of obtaining a job. Tha caso for the Unitod States was closed some days ago and to dny waB giveu no to hearing the evidence for the defense.

The ovidence tended to show that tho Remingtons had conspired to throw Taraella into disrepute and obtain his position for tho father. Messrs. Jnhnaon and nirsh contradicted each other frequently and the commissioner had apparently hard work to keep them in order. Jamoa L. Remington, who swore before tho naval board of engineers that he gave tho defendant the bribe in oiieBtion aud at whose instance the caso was instituted, was the first witness.

Ho testified that he had thanked Randolph C. Fuller, of tho Twentieth ward, for hia, son's apnointment. He did not consider that his son had been well treated in tho yard, although he had stated beforo the naval board that ha and his sou had nothing to complain about. Lieutenant Commander C. II.

West said that before the naval boar I tho senior Remington had declared that ha was sorry he had made tho complaint and would not have done so had ho thought the matter would have cone bo far. II. L. Armestead, of 12 Prospect placo. a ship fitter at the navy yard, sworo that Remington askod him how he would like Remiugton as boss of tho department.

Rominnton expressed his opinion that Parsells was a sucker. In answer to counsel's question as to what he replied the witness said he held his tongue, which was tho easiest thing to do in the navy yard. Mr. Arme Btead had never seen Parsell'a with a watch. John Btitzer, of Cumberland street, naid that Frank Remington told him that he had "put a watch in hook" and said District Attorney Johnson objected to the test'.

mouy. Mr. Hirsh produced tho ovidence of Jowelar Coles, which Bhowod thr.t Frank Remington took the watch. He said that it was porti nont to the question at issue, as he proposed to show that the two thieves father and son had entered into a conspiracy to remove Parsells aud got Remington senior appointed to the foreman's position. Tho commissioner allowed the evidence, and the witness proceeded to say that Frank Remington told him that lie wished he had the money to take the watch from the pawn shop.

That was a little more than two months ago. The witneas was tho man who introduced tho Remlngtom to Mr. Fuller, at whose request the navy yard appointments were made. Jewolor Coles testified to the manner of numbering watches. The evidence was brought out to show tho difficulty of identifying timepieces of the class sold by him to tho Remingtons.

He could, if necessary, find out the watche'B number by applying to the manufacturer. John Brown, 15H Carlton avenue, a ship fitter in the navy yard, had known the defondaut between twelve and fourteen years. James L. Remington, after his son's appointment, told the witness that ho would like to know how hia son got the job, as he wanted to thank the man who had holpod him. Witness told Remington that he had told him before that his son conld not get into tho yard until he joined tho Federal club and.

his words had como true. As soon as oung Remington did join the club he got into the yard easily onpugh. In answer to the district attorney's query as to whether tho Federal was not Mr. Fuller'B club, the witness said ho did not think so, he waa under the impression that the members had somo Bay there. Witness is a member of the Lafayette and Federal clubs.

John Bold, of 023 Clinton street, waa one of tho originators of the scheme to present Parsells with a watch, and Parsells came to him person ally and said the thing mint he stopped, as when he wanted a watch ho would buy ono. John H. White, Franklin avenue, has known Parsells eighteen years. Ha usod frequently to spend tho evenings with Paraells, but never saw him with a 'watch. Ho had often heard Parsells ask the time and waa positive he nevor carried a watch.

Sylvester D. Corey, 540 Gates avonue, testified that Remington asked him how he would Mice him (Remington) as a boss. Witness had known Parsells over a yoar and never saw him with a watch. Juuics Fay, of the Seventh ward, said that he had known Parsells for twelve years, very intimately for the laBt two years, during which time he had Beon him nearly every night in the week and always on Sundays. He was acquainted with the older Remington and had heard hia reputation for veracity impeached.

The district attorney objected to the testimony, but after a long argument during which both counsel appealed to the commissioner, and Mr. Johnson in referring to Mr. Hirsh called him tho eloquent and well paid counsel who was branding tho complainant as a thief at every opportunity," the witness was allowed to continue. Ho said that all he knew about Remington was what ho had heard since the opening of the trial. Ho kue that Doth factions in the Republican party thought that tho action taken by iho complainant was a dirty one.

He had heard Remington's reputation spoken of as being very bad indeed. Witness would not believe him under oath. Two months ago he thought Remington an honorable man, but his opinion had changed. Mr. Fay, who is ono of the well known Fs or tho throe faction of tho Seventh ward, said that he had possibly had something to do with making Mr.

ParsellB master in the yard, and that his companionship with him had become closer on that account. Ho had never influenced ParBells in making appointments, and lots of men had got jobs without his concurrence. Mr. Hirsh pleaded a press of business and by mutual consent tho further heariug in tho caao was adjourned until to day week at 11 o'clock. INDIAN TROUBLES IN SEW MEXICO.

His appearance last nit'lit was as usual and his laughter during the entertainment at the atiylttm in tha evening hearty as to no indication of the excitement ho had undercono a couple of hours earlier. He evince 1 no de ure to repeat the performance, tliouuh ho told its incidents with some appreciation of their irrim humor. Thomas P. Doherty la world renowned aB Mary Auilerson'a insane admirer.

Ilis tall, mus oular form was to be seen at evory performance liivea thronsliout the United States and in Ens land until about eighteen months aeo. Then lie grew boisterous at a performance eiven in New York and when arrowed explained that the fair netress loved him to distraction and was being kept from him by cruel relatives. Ho said he could hear her whimpers of love corao to Uim at all hours of the and day. Ho was recognized as an annoyiuuly persistent admirer of hers and it was clearly ovident that ho was insane on this particular point, althonsh ho was clear euoush on other matters. Ho vraB formerly a resident of Washinston, and the state charities board took charge of him, and throueh Secretary Uoyt had hiin placed in the Kings county insane asylum.

There he contented himself for four months in writing letters to the thon Miss Andorson and protesting his sanity to the reporters who interviewed him. After about four months had elapsed he managed to escape and tot as far as the farm, where ho cot hold of a spade and dared anyone to approach him under risk of beine brained. Three or four encased his attention by strategic efforts at his front while others crept around to the rear and overpowered him. As soon as he was captured ho grew quiet again and submitted so completely to the rules of the asylum that it looked as if a euro had been effected. He seemed to forget all about Miss Anderson and was not disturbed even by the announcement of her marriage toyounir Jose F.

Navarro. He was allowed comparative freedom, and two wooks ago took advantago of it by eloping. The asylum authorities simply announced his departure, breathed a little more freeb', and, after a few days, according to rule, marked him as diseharged. Yesterday afternoon several of tho attendants at the asylum wore on the front stoop of the building when Doherty strolled leisurely up the broad walk and mountod tho many stops leading to the main entrance. Tho attendants were in doubt whether to be pleased or sorry at his reappearance, but instinctively realized that he should be in confinement.

With a glaneo at his six feet of brawn, one of the boldest approached him a a matador would a wild bull, and hesitatingly stretching forth a hand in welcome, said coaxingly: 'Why, Doherty, how are you? I am mighty glad to soo you. Como in and toll us where you have been." "You get away," roared out Doherty, and immediately he pulled out a 38 caliber revolver and 8wun it around in a half olrcle, which cleared the stoop like a cyclone. One man was so anxious that the stops wore too slow and a slide down the bannisters was the only way for him. Without interruption Doherty strode in to the main hall and into the office. Dr.

Fleming and a couple of others were in there at the time. "Hello, Doherty," said tho good natured doctor, beaming out from behind his spectacles. "Don't hello to mo," growled Doherty. "I'm no telephone," and in an instant the cold muzzle of the revolver loomed up before the doctor and was BWinging rapidly around in a little arc before him as if anxious to go off. Why.

what's the matter?" said the doctor, aB a hurried glance around tho oflico told him he was alone. "We don't want you. You are discharged. You needn't be afraid. Put that usly thing down." You bet you don't want me," said Doherty, grimly, "and I am not going to put this down.

Ain't it a darling?" He shook it again in a suggestive way. "What I want is my things, and I want them qniok." "Get Mr. Doherty his things," said tho doctor and the few keys and other articles belonging to' him were brought in without extra delay. "Will you receipt for those asked the doctor, in the hopo that Doherty would lay down the murderous weapon. "Certainly," said Doherty, with an engaging Bmile: "make it out and 1 11 sign it," He did so, but flourished the eelf cocker in his left hand while he wrote his name.

Then he backed out of the door, from close to which he had refused to go, and in an instant ho was out of Bight, not, however, before he had sworn he would go to Canandaigua and kill Dr. Hoyt. Dr. Fleming afterward notified the police, and when they asked why he had not arrested tho man, he said ho had too much respect for a revolver aud did not think it necessary to have anyone killed in order to make such a capture To an Eagle reporter he said last night: "I believe I did wisely in not attempting a struggle with the man. I do not call myself a coward, but I am rather careful when I am compelled to look down the business end of a self cocking revolver in the hands of a man insano enough to commit murder and sane enongh to know that ho would not hang for it.

I was not going to aek anyone else to do what I would not do myself. Wo may not have been heroes, but wo did not lose any livcB. I don't believe Doherty will do any harm outside, unless it may be to Dr. Hoyt, at whom he is enraged." PlBBAL MAURIAQP.S AHOKG THE HORHONS. Salt Lake, Utah, September 27.

Governor Thomas, in an Interview regarding tho recent manifesto of President Wilford Woodruff, of the Mormon! church, discountenancing plural marriages, laid: "It is impossible now to givo a definite opinion of the purpose or effect of this proclamation. If jt is put forward and hereafter observed in good faith, it is an important step and will do much to remove one of the political objections to Mormonism. The general sentiment is a hope that it is made in good faith. Many tilings, however, lead to donbt, among which may bo named the present political situation, the fact that it does not come in the usual channel and its studious and indefinite language. The last general decree on the subject in 1885 camo from tho general conference ratified by the atakes and asserted that tho Mormons could not yield the doctrino of plural marriages to legislatures or judicial decisions."

Adr IN A BIG CAUCUS The Benedict Men Will Exalt His Boom. They Have Hired the Eink for Monday Si Sit and Will Then Solidify Their KaBlis A New More Tiiat Midnijht Row.

The canvass for the nomination of Robert D. Benedict, in the Third congressional district, will, within tho next foirdays, reach import ant stau'o. Notices will bo sent out this afternoon containing tho oall for a caucus of Mr. Beu supporters iu tho district. It hr.s been customary for tho Thirl district people to hold these affairs at Waverly hall.

The Benedict people allow the confidence in their numbers and strength in the present canvass by departing from this custom and hiring the Clermont avenue rink, at au expense of $200, for this important occasion. Monday night la the time decided on and, in spite of the ahort notico and the long hall, the opponents of Mr. Wallaco expect to decent ly fill tho great building. Whether it will bo an open or an executivo caucus has not yet been determined. It is likely, though, that the door will be thrown 0P2ii to all comers.

Tho design of using so large a hall for a caucus is certainly a hold inovation, and its outconia will be observed with interest. It appears to day that some of tho accounts of tho trouble between Messrs. Barrow and Ham. in which the secretary of tho Republican general committee is Baid to have struck the caudidato for the Republican nomination in tho Twentieth ward a hard blow on the head during a passago of warm worda over politics, are 6aid to have been grossly exaggerated. Mr.

Ham was not confined to his house or to a hospital by the effect of hia injuries, but was in hia usual haunts last night and at his post in the bridge ticket offico this morning. Mr. Ham was seen by an Eacii.e reporter at noon to day at tho corner of Willoughby and Adams street. Ho showed no evidences of the serious injuries allowed to have been inflicted on him, and when asked about tho affair remarked noncommittally "You see I'm not in a hospital." "But didn't Clareuco Barrow atrika you with his oann night bofore laat 7'' "Not as I know of," aaid Mr. Ham, as he laughed aud walked away with somo friends.

It is now stated that tho blow was from Mr. Barrow's hand and that it would have left no impression but for the rinu on hia finger. Naval Officer Willis said this morning that tho accounts of the affair in tho newspapers had dono him and some of the others whose names were mentioned, a great injustice. Mr. Willis states that he, with Granville W.

Harmon, Israel F. Fischer and Clareuco II. Barrow, were on their way from a meeting of tho Republican Club in tho Seventeenth ward. They bad come down on the Greenpoint car and got oft' at Yauderbilt and Myrtle avenues to chnngo cars when Mr. Barrow left them, as ho lived in that locality.

Messrs. Willis, Fischer and Harman took cars immediately for their respective homos, and were nono of them present when nam and Barrow met. JI5I SMITH IS ANGRY. Fallon SI Hit Figbi mien or bo Called a Coward. Jim Smith, of the Ninth ward, the middleweight pugilist, is angry.

Tho object of his anger is Jack Fallon, known as Brooklyn's strong boy. Tha reason for his anger is that Fallon has announced a Bparring exhibition to tako placo at his liquor store in Flatbush to night, in which ho claims the wind up will ba botwoen himself and Smith. Said Smith to day: "I'vb got no use for Fallon except to fight him to a finish. I wouldn't give a sparring exhibition with him. I make my money in other ways than that.

I am not anxious to be known as a professional fighter, but I want to havo one more chance at Fallon. When I fought with him before he bucked me and knocked me out that way. I didn't know I was whipped, and told him beforo I left the ring thatlwantod another battle, but ho refused me. I will not go near his place to night and never meant to. All I waut ia a fight for fiftoon rounds or to a finish, either under the London prize ring or marquis of Qneensborry rules, for from $100 to $1,500.

I can get tho money to back mc and I can whip him. This is not nowspaper talk. I mean business. If ho doos not take me up ho ia a coward." THE REPORTERS' NOTE BOOK. Occurrences of Intercut ia Brooklyn and Vicinity.

This ia market day in Woodstock, and at an early hour the town was thronged with Oxford county farmers. They gathered in crowds in front of the court house aud when Borchall was driven wp in a cab it waB with tho utmost difficulty that a pasta go was made through the crowd to the court house.

Women again filled the gallery to overflowing, many moro had soat3 on the platform, while the lower floor had nearly as many women as men. Tho officorB allowed tho people to crowd in until every seat was occupied and scores stood tip all through the session. It was the last opportunity to hear evidence in one of the greatest triala on record. So eager is tho interest abroad that the London papers ordored by cable a verbatim report of the Bumming up of counsel and tho jndge's charge. Birchall this morning betrayed no UDeasincsB Ho was as carefully dressed as ever and looked out over the prisoner's box in steady sorutiny of those in front of him.

Dr. Burns, of Woodstock, was the first witness for the defense this morning. He testified directly opposite to Dr. Welford, who stated that rigor mortis seta in in two to two and three quarter hours. He Baid it was five to six hours, and in cold weather, outdoors, it takes longer.

He swore positively that such bruiacs as wore found on Benwell'a body and groin could not have been made by falling in his tracks after being shot. He asserted that tho indications described proved to him that tho bruises took place several hours beforo death. The purpose of this evidence was to ehow, if possible, that Bonwell did not die on Monday afternoon, as supposed, and that he mttat have been set upon by persons unknown: that a struggle occurred and that ho was bruised in tho struggle, 'lhe dent in his neck, which rested on the sapling, showed that rigor mortis had not set in when ho was placed or fell where found. Dr. BtirnH thus gavo a longer time for the crime to have taken place before the body was put whore found.

Dr. Kichardson, of Toronto, jail physician, was next called and substantially atrreed with Dr. Burns. Samuel G. McKay, one of Birchall'a lawyers, now swore that McDonald, witness for tho orown, told him that four minuteB elapsed between the shots, aud that, pointing to a telegraph pole forty yards away, McDonald said ho was as closo as that to the Bhots.

Norman McQueen, eon of the late Judge McQueen, swore he know Birchall in Woodstock in 1888. "Did you see Birchall in Woodstock in February last asked Mr. Blackstock. "Yes, on Monday, February 17. about 12 o'clock noon." "What did he wear "Knickerbockers with a bow on the side.

I always knew Birchall that way. Whon I cot home I said I had met Somerset. I never was on good terms with him. Ho called me a name once." Witness fixed Monday, February 17, as tho date positively, explaining what ho did Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. He admitted he knew another young Englishman dressed similarly was in town.

Hia only test was tho rule that a given amount of caustic soda will neutralize tho acidity of a given amount of vinegar. The justice however found the defendant guilty and fined him, too, $50.

The injury is located away up in the Boeket of tho left hip, and has been dressed as much as it can ho for a few days.
