DID HE KISS HES A BELLIGERENT TOCJSQ THIEF. ITe Rob a Money Drawer aid Shows i I Fight to a Pollcemaut EDITION witness must be mistaken. Mr Stanley Wilson added that he then told Mr. Berkeley Levett to watch Sir William Gordon Cumming. Mr.

Leyett, said Mr. Wilson, followed his (Mr. WilBon's) advice, and bo also.eaw the bardnot oheat in the manner alroady described. Mr. Levott, upon being convinced by pcrRonal or.

nervation that what Mr. Arthur Wilson said in regard to tho baronet cheating was true, exclaimed: "This is too hot." Aftor tho midday recess young Mr. Wilson continued his testimony. He said that he saw Sir William Gordon Cumming cheat again. He, tho baronet, had a 5 counter on tho table, and directly he discovered that tho oard turned up was favorable to him he pushed a i2 counter forward with a pencil which ho held in his hand and was paid 7.

The witness then detailed tho subsequent conversation which ho had with Mi'. Berkeley Levett in the latter's bedroom, saying that when he told the lattor of what ho (the witness) had seen while the baronet played baccarat, Mr. Levott exclaimed: "My God! To think of Lieutenant Colonel Sir William Gordon dimming being caught cheating at cards." Continuing, tho witnosssaid: "I asked, 'What on earth aro wo to dJ' To this Mr. Levott replied, 'For goodness sake don't aak me. He is in my own regiment and was luy captain.

What am ItodoJ1" dfiAMPAGNE A WELL AS CLASS, They Were Bolli Used to Settle the St. Joliu SchmltC Duel. The true inwardness of tho reoent anticipated duel In the eastern district has boon penetrated at last. The facts aro about these: George Schmttt, stoward of the Brooklyn club, 134 Pierrepont street, had boon enjoying tho hospitality of tho Undine club at ltookaway Beach Saturday, May 23, and while there fell Into con veriation with 0. St.

John, a man prominent in the Kings county militia, on tho comparative morita of tho Prussian soldier and tho Kings county guardsman. Schmitt, being a Prussian, stood up for tho superiority of tho German army to that of any other service in tho world. This nettled St. John, and ho said something diare spcotful to tho double headed oagie, which was quickly resented by Schnitt. Fierce wordB followod, and tho men were only prevented from coming to blows by the intervention of thmr rieuda.

Thoy were then kept apart, but by ill luck encountered one another again on tho train as they woi coining up from Rockaway Beach, and tho quarrel was reuowed with more impotuoBlty than before, till at last tho Prussian throw a verbal challoge to St. John and.the latter having Sccentod it, seconds were chosen and tho affair seemed to assume a more serious aspect. On tho arrival homo of the excursionists, however, Captain Gorman was appealed to and tho seconds interested themselves in provouting hos tilitins by finally bringing tho principals together and making them shake hands over their 3 o'olook yesterday afternoon a raggod littio boy onfored the caudy store of Mra. Susan Ebert, 110 Yarot street, and askod for a cont's worth of cigarettes. Whilo hor back was turned tbo boy oponod tho money drawer and oxtracted 81 cents.

Mrs. Ebert turned in time to seo tho money drawer opon and tho youngster walking toward the door. She rushod after him and demanded the money. He showed fight. Just then Officer Tonery of tho Sixth precinot camo up and tho boy, seeing him, threw a handful of pennies iu Mrs.

Ebert's face and tried to oscapo. Touery intercepted him, but tho boy put up his flsta aud looked belligerant. He waa taken into custody, howevor, and at the Stagg street station said he was Samuol Blumenstook, agod 10 years, of 002'Broadway. Ho declarod that he waa at one time a member ofs gang of young till tappers, but had gone into business on his own hook. The fact that he had no "pal" to watch on tho outaido was, ho oxplainod, the causo of his capture.

LOOSE LICENSE. That is What Nathan's Figures Make It Look Like. A Tory Inre Difference Between the Jinmber of Liquar Who ray Taxea to the Utmrn ment and Theio Who Set Pernaits From the City. United States Collector of Internal Rcvenuo Ernst Nathan will havo issued iu a fow days licences, each costing $2i, to every person in Brooklyn entitled to sell liquor. Tho federal authorities aro careful to collect every cent that is due them, and aa a cbnscquenco tho number of licenses is 5,000, whilo tho oltyoxoiso commissioners have only issued 3,770 licenses of all kinds.

The biggest part of these latter are what ia known as first class licenses which number 3,4113. Thoro aro 28!) second class licenses and 00 third olats. The firatelass entitles the holder to sell wine, beer aud intoxi oants generally on the premnoa, and ia tho license usually held by saloonkeepers. The second allows the holder to sell by the bottle and Is held mainly by storekeepers. Tho third class is what is known as a beer license.

In tho excise department to day no ono could explain how it was that such a disparity should exist betweon the number of licenses issued by the foderal authorities and thoao given out by the city. William D. Lohmann, clerk of the exciao board, said that druggists who soli alcohol wero taxed by tho collectoi'of iutern.il revenue, but that the city authorities imposed no license 011 them. The number of druggists, however, who do not tako out a license to rutaii liquor for mediolual purposes trom tho city authorities ia amall, aud dots not at all explain the disparity. Collector Nathan has tabulated a list of tho liquor licenses issued by him, and finds that the Eighteenth ward leads, with 303.

Next comes tho Sixteenth, with 338, and the Twenty Ursl, with 238 The aristocratic First is low, with 00, but tiie lowest of all is ihe Twenty fourth, with 50. Tho Second and Fifth tie each othor with 77. MOSEY MARKET CLS.31SU UEP0KT. Shipment nai EngaireKUont. Hailroad lOnraiuC" Mocks Dull and Almost Feuttireleiis.

An Eagle roportor visited Eastern nark this morning, to seo Captain Ward aud his champion team at thoir morning training practice, and to ascertain from headquarters how thingB wero working undor the new management. The weather was just the thing for a practice morning, and the boys ouloyod thoir field work heartily. Captain Ward was found in tho dross mg room donning hu practice uniform, and on being questioned on several interesting rjoints he gave information which makeB good reading for the admirers of tho club, the team and the game. "What do you think of the outlook, Mr. Ward, and of tho chance for the team's reoovory of thoir lost ground last month?" "Well, I think we'll como out all he replied, "and you may rely upon it that from now out we will make our opponents work thoir hardest to escape defeat." "How do tho players work under you?" waB tho next query, and the captain's reply was earnest and to tho point, as ho said: "I never worked on a field with a brighter or better set of men.

From the outset I have not had tho least trouble. They are earnest in thoir efforts and intelligent onough to liston to argnment and to accept instructions, and thoy carry my vicwb out with a deereo of skill and ability which makes It a pleasure to work with them. My pitchers aro very effective and I am well satisfied with what they have all done under the most disadvantageous circumstances. Out West wo had tho worst kind of weather and it affected our players more than it did thoso of the homo clubs." HE USED A CLUB. The Charge Against a St.

John laud Keeper. Dr. H.iemnbei' Fnspands no of His Subordinate! Fendia Investigation by the Charities Comraittioneri Allegations of Cruelty to Faticnli. A story has been current in St. Johnland of the brutal treatment of an insane patient in cottage No.

3, on the Kings oounty farm. The man who made the statemont was employed at tho farm as a nurse. Ho resigned his position and went back to hiB homo at Huntington. Before leaving he told Dr. Maauinber that Iteoper Hugh Quigley of cottage No.

3 was in tho habit of striding tho patients with a stick which resembled a hoe handle. Quigley, the attendant Baid, kept two sticks, one a littlo larger than the other. Ho nliod tho Btlck when tho pa tiouta were retiring at night, and also used it to make them hustle out of bed in the morning. A man called old Jack was tho most abused ocenpant of tho cottage. Dr.

Macumber, aftor hearing this statement, requested the complain, iug attendant to reconsider his resignation and remain in the service, but he would not, aud then tho doeUr, to comply with the rules, asked him to put hU signature to a pledging himself not to gossip about the management of tho institution when he Uft thero. Tho attendant refused to sign the paper. Dr. Macumber was seen at the county farm about the accusation against Hugh Quigley. Ho talked very freely about it and seomt to havo acted promptly "and effectively in tho matter, suspending Quigley from the service until action in his case had been taken by the commissioners of charities and corrections.

Dr. Macumber said that on May 25 ho was informed the head attendant, Qaialoy, had etruc his patients with a stick or club, by an assistant attendant who was lsaving after three days' service at cottage No. 2. Ho immediately an investigation and found that the facts warranted him in suspending Quigloy. Two attendants and three patients told him that Quigley struck the inmates of his cottage frequently.

Tho doctor said he found two sticks in a closet. Ono was a piece of a hoe handle, tho other a small pick handle. Dr.Macurnbcr sai.l that these sticks may havo been used for some other ptirposo aud Quigley told him they were brought into tho cottage by one of tho patients. The doctor said ho suspended Quigley to await tho action of the charities commissioners on the charge of unnecessary cruelty. He was ovldontly oareful, tho doctor thought, not to atrike any of tho more intelligent patients, as threo who wero capable of testifying agaiust Quigley have naver been struck themselves.

Quigley was suspended on May 20, the day after the information was lodged, and he left the farm on the Tho cottago is now in charge of James Towers, who was Quig ley'B assistant, and under him the doctor has placed Mr. Delaney as assistant. Being asked if ho found marks on tho bodies of any of the patients Dr. Macumber said ho saw nothing more than scratohos. Mr.

Towors told Dr. Macumber that Quigley was in the habit of striking tho patients. Referring to tho agreomeut which departing attendants are required to sign, Dr. Macumber said that they wero required to sign a form which obligated them not gossip about 'tha institution and its management. "Dr.

Gray," said Dr. "recommended that Quigley's salary be increased, as ho was a good servant, and his salary was accordingly increased. Tho patients aro easily managed," added Dr. Macumber. "Any who arc violent are not received at the farm.

There was never before an accusation uf undue forco iu managing tho patients, and the fact of an attendant's having a stick in his hand whilo ou duty would ho cuuugh to cause his "The hitting was mostly done at bedtime," said Mr. Towers, "and tho man, used to get it across the hoad with a chain on which Quisilev carried his keys." Hugh Quigley was appointed in tho service Jnno ao, 1800. The following letter iu regard to tho matter was received by the president of the board of charities and corrections from Dr. Joint L. Macumber, tho medical superintendent of the asylum: Kings County Insane Kings Pakk, L.

May 27, 1891. Mr. B.F.GotttPreslde.nt, Hoard of Commissioners of CluiriKes and Corrections, 20 Elm place: Dear Sin I have this day suspended Hugh Quigloy, attendant, for habitually misusing the patients. Two of tbo attendants aud several of the moro intelligent patients have testified to having seen him strike the patients with a heavy stick. They all claim that he has done so frequently.

Mr. Quigley puts in a general denial, though I think there oan ha no doubt that he is guilty of the charges preferred agaiust him. 1 would respectfully recommend that ha be discharged. Respectfully, Jou.s L. Macdmbeh, Medical Superintendent.

PRATT'S PLANS Defined by the Heirs of the Philanthropist. rnrchase of the Freebel Acadoiny am Enlarsement of the Institute Ho tition to Iho ProYliloni or the Will. The Significance of Jesse Johnson's Appointment ai Special Guardian.

Lawyer Lnuia C. Leilyaril mMlc application in the mirroK ite'a com ye.terilay for an or.ler rul miUins the will of Charlej Pratt to probate. Tho witnesae.s to tho will are John D. Archibald and John I). Rockefeller.

The latter ia iu Cleveland ami Mr. Ledyard asked that i commission" be ap pointed to taka hia testimony. Mr. Archibald tcttilioil to the authenticity of tho document, which has already been published In the Eagle. An occurrence in thia connection which has caused some comment was the presentation of a petition by Uuiied States District Attorney Jesao Johnson, askins to be appointed cuardian of tho three minor clnhlron.

It was thought by Bonie who heard of thia action that it conflicted with that clause in Mr. fruit's will which read: "I also appoint my said wife, Mary II. Pratt, aud my sons, Charles M. Pratt and Fred erick B. l'ratt, to bo tho guardians of tho peraous and estates of my minor oliil Ireu respectively during their respective miuoritios." This is not the oaso.

It is customary for the stir rogato to appoint a special guardian in such tases to look aftor the interests of tho minors louring the probate of the will. Yhen the minora are over 14 years oi age they havo the right to select their own spocial guardian, and as the children in question are more than 14, they ask hat District Attorney Johiiuon bu appointed. Charles M. l'ratt was aeon at his oiliee, 20 Broad way. Now York, this morning, and said in regard to tho matter: "Mr.

Johnson has been appointed as legal guard' iau of tho throe minora for the purpose of pro tecting their Interests at tho time of the probate of the will. That all there is to it. He is sim ply tho counsel for the minor children, aopoiotod by the surrogate iu accordance with the rctiuire ments of the law." AY lien asked about the rumors of a contest of tho will being made, Mr. l'ratt Haid emphatically that they were without the slightest foundation and that there would be no contest. Tho will he said, iras in ovary way satisfactory to all of tho heirs.

Furthermore Mr. Pratt's wishes are to be regarded ai closely as possible, and all his plana carried out. What these nlaus aro has alroady been statocl They relate principally to the Pratt iustituto and the Froebel academy. To tho former Mr. Pratt bequeathed the land and building on Ryerson ttreot, botween Willoughby and DeKalb ayonuoa, he Astra! flats on Franklin aveuu Greonpoint, the Inwood on Vanderbilt avonuo, and continued the fund of $2,000,000, which ho had already placed to the credit of tho institute on the books of the firm of Charlos Pratt Co.

In addition to this Mr. Pratt said in his will, referring to tho l'ratt institute: I desire that tho work of this institute shall develop aud its ondowment fund shall bo increased to meet the growing demand of its work. I also desire if my son, Frederick 13. Pratt, Hhall continue as the recognized iiead of the faculty and give his time and energy to tho development of the institute, ai an euconragemont for him to continue In said work that his salary shall bo increased $1,000 per year for each and every year so long a the income of the institute shall equal or cicenil $100,000 per year. Iu order to ascertain what course will bo pursued in carrying out Mr.

Pratt's deairo for the development of the Institute and tho enlargement of its work an Eaole reporter called on Frederick B. Pratt this morning. "If my name is used in this connection," said he, "please let it be understood that tho interview was requested by th Eaole. and not voluntoered by mo. Yes, the work of the institute will be extended aud developed as rapidly as possible in accordance with my father's wiahes." "In what particular ivayfl will tho advancement and oulargemont bo made 7'' "As yet it is rather hard to outiiue the plan.

A few important features havo already been decided upon, however, and thcro will bo other Improvements in the future. An additional high school building will bo placed on the lot adjoining the institute on the south. It will be a threo story and basement building and will really be a technical high school for the students. The plans are now under way and it will not bo long before, work is begun on tho building. "Then, beginning next month, the farm or agricultural work in connection with tho institute will be carried on, both in tho city and on the farm at Glen Cove.

There is an acre of land on Willoughby avenue, between Steuben and Sehonck streets, which has been laid out iu flower aud vczotablo gardens, and which will be cultivated by institute Btu dents. They will devote their afternoons to iho work. In time largo greenhouses will be put up, and tho classes in horticulture aud floral culture will continuo right along, winter aud summer The principal movement iu the line of agricultural work, howevor, will bo on the 150 acres of the Glen Covo farm which have been sot aside for that purpose. Ten or fifteen students will be placed there this summer, beginning July 1, under the direction of Horace Atwood, a graduate of Cornell university. lie will have entire charge of tho agricultural work.

A portion of each day will bo deveted to theoretical instruction, suoh as cliasea In botany, physical geography, chemistry and kiudrod snbjects, with lectures, illustrations, etc. Tho remainder of the day will be devoted to practical farm work the cultivation of grains aud vegetables, the care of animals and tho like. The aim will be to give a practical education In agriculture and to broaden Iho Ideas and en large the general knowledge of tho students rather than simply to make farmers of them." "And iu rogard io the Froebel academy? "My father's wiahes will be carried out to the letter in this regard, as well as iu all others." It was Mr. Pratt's intention at the timo! of his death to purchase tho Froebel and relieve it of the financial strain which has always hamporod it since its foundation, nearly ten years ago. Tho annual meeting of the trustee of the academy occurs Friday evening, aud it la altogether llkelr that the final arrangements for tho transfer or the property to Mr.

Pratt's heirs will then bo made. II will be made an adjunct of the l'ratt institute. It is situated in the Twenty third ward, near Tompkins park. The school was incorporated iu 1883, and although it has always been hampered by Insufficient accommodations aud lack of room It has been wonderfully succesfful, and has accomplished much good in the neighborhood. Mr.

Pratt's sous will curry on tho work on tho same lines which have so far governed the school. One of the first matters to bj attended to will bo tho erection of a suitable school bulldinc, which has been sadly needed for a number of years past. The income of tho school has never equaled the outlay, and consequently the trustoos have had a hard time to make both ends meet. Their perseverance has been rewarded, how VL and the future of tho Froobel is now aasured. The new building will be erected on the present site on Tompkins park, and it will be in every way adequate to the demands of the enlarged Froebel of the future.

A number of the present teachers, it is said, will be retained. The academy will bo a feeder to ths high school department of the Pratt institute, substantially tho same ideas being applied to tho government of the preparatory school as to that cf the institute itself. Tho intention of the patrons of thj school is to prepare pupils for the institute by a ysteiuatio course of study and manual training iu the Froebel. No further action will be taken in regard to the vrill until Mr. Uockofeller'n testimony has been secured.

A commission for this purpose will be appointed within a few days. The section of the will which caused the ruuiors of a contest was the one in which Mr. Pratt staled that those of bis children under 15 years of age should receive per year, and the annual payment should be increased at the rate of $150 per year until hey reached the age of as years. Thereafter the annual payments to bo increased at tho rate of S300 per year uutil they reached tho age of ar. Then thoy again increased at the rate of fOOO per year until thoy reach the age af 30, then $1,000 per year until they are 35 years of age, and JS.500 per year until they are 45.

'Those of them who are over 15 years of age receive, according io the will, tho paymonts to which their respective, ages entitle them in accordance with tho above plan.

Sir Charles Kuisell pons the Defento ia the Gnat Baecarat Seandal Cnt. Paints That Tell Asraiast Sir William Gordon Carniniagr. London, June 3. One would imagine that after two days of lit toning to what appears to be intensely interesting tostimony in rogard to tho baocarat scandal the public would begiu to tire of it on tho third day. Such, howevor, waB not the oaso; far from it.

Interest in tho revelations being mado in connection with the prince of Wales, as banker at the games of cards where cheating, it Is alleged, was indulged in, 1b unabated, and on this the third day of tho trial thej scenes outside the queen's of her majesty's high court of justice in the now law courts, on tho Strand, wero again repeated with hardly any variation. Tho same policemen seemed to be thero. Tho same interest was manifested in tho distinguished arrivals at the court and a fair amount of gnying and chaffing was indulged in. To all appearances tho same crowd of fashionable people, women still predominating, was found iiiBide tho court, and the lunch baskets and pocket flasks were out in, if anything, stronger force than ever. Fresh cnt flowers formed part of nearly every woman's oostnmo.and their fragrance, mixed with the artificial perfumes on th3 handkerchiefs of tho belles dames proaont, gave a fragrance to the warm court room which it would not otherwise have possessed.

It iB too early to sum up the effect of the toatimony alroady taken upon the mind of tho Britih matron, who, aa theae good woman will admit, have a great deal to do in molding public opinion. It ia safe to say, however, that both tho plaintiff in this libel suit, Sir William Gordon dimming, and the dofendantB, Mr. and Mrs. Lycett Green, Mr. and Mrs.

Arthur Wilson and Mr. Berkeley Levett, to say nothing of the prince of Wales, havo not shown up in vory bright colors. Even the prince of Wales' best friends are said to admit unwillingly that tho testimony he gave yesterday was far from being of a nature to reflect credit upon the future king of England and emperor of India. Lady Coleridge, the wife of tho lord chief justice of England, who presides at tho trial, occupied a seat on tho bench to the right of Lord Coleridge, in company with Ladiea Clark and RusBell. Lady (Joleridgo was dressed in black, ornamented with broad silver braid trimmings, and attracted much attention.

Tho countess of yarboiough. Lady Eehor and tho reigning beauty of England, Lady Brooke, sat immediately behind Lady Ooloridge aud her party. This presence of fashionable woraon on and aboutlthe bouch with tho presiding judge's wife, and he the lord chiof justice of England, is a novelty iu British trials whiSh does not find favor with some of tho old. dignified "big wigs." The court was orowded long before tho official opening hour (11 A. MO, among the earlier arrivals being the tall, dignified, aristocratic plaintiff, who, exquisitely dresBed, as usual, bad no sooner reached his lawyerB' side than he entered into a long and earnost conversation with them, apparently trying to impress some vital points upon thorn.

From the baronot'a manner, usually so cool, calm and contemptuous, it was evident that something had been said or done which had broken through hia crust of outward reserve and haughtinoBS, causing him to lapse into a state of excited, omphatic comment and animation. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Wilson, iu company with Mr. and Mrs.

Lvcett Green and Mr. Bcrkeloy Levett, Bat In front of the seats assigned to thoir counsel, Sir Charlos Russell and others, and aa was evident to the most casual observer wero vainly ondoavorins to simulate an indifference to the proceedings and surroundings which they were very far from feoliuf; in reality. Thny seemed to be painfully conscious of the fact that, whatever tha outcome of the trial, their position was far fromSbeing an enviable one. Tho lord chief Justice took his seat on tho bench at precisely 11 o'clock and, as he did so, the buzz of feminine conversation which pervaded the court slowed gradually down and then coased entirely as all attention was once moro concenfratod upon tho chief actors iu tho baccarat scandal developments. Tho prince of Wales had not arrived up to the moment Lord Coleridge took his seat and the general opinion seemed to bo that the heir apparent, disgusted with his cxDeriencos of yesterday, would find some excuso which would enable him to escape any further attendance in court.

Everybody expected him to do this and nobody would havo been disappointed had he done so, but to tbo astonishment of almost overybody present the lord chief justice bad hardly settled himself comfortably in the cushions of his ohair and had just emitted the solemn "Hem" preliminary to saying something, when Albert Edward, prince of Wales, still accompanied by his faithful private secretary Francis Kuoilys. entered the court, in better condition, it would saem, than upon tho occasions of his two previous viBits, bowing and smiling to the audience assembled, who respectfully rose to thoir feet aa the jovial heir apparent appeared. As be drew near to tho bench the princo bonod to the lord chief jostioe aud to the women on tho latter's right, and then, after a quiok glanco around the court In which he seemed to take in everything and everybody, he settled himself down comfortably in tho red velvet armchair on the chief justice's left, wipod his bald snot tenderly with a spotless 'handkerchief, settled the creases of his clothes with a gentle hand, adjusted his necktie carefully and was prepared for the business of tho day. Immediately upon tho princo of Wales having settled himself to his satisfaction aud to the relief of all present, Sir Charles Russell, loading counsel foi tho defendants, slowly aroso from hU seat, bowed to the lord chief ju tice, to tho members of the bar aud to the women and commenced his address on behalf of his clients. Sir Charles began speaking in a low, distinct voice, the tones of which he gradually raised until tho distinguished lawyer was hoard clearly throughout the court.

Sir Charles said that his clients had been, much' against their wishes, compelled to take the course which thty had adopted. There were nine persons concerned in this "melancholy business," continued Sir Charles, in a low voice, full of feeling, "ail of whom have known the Plaintiff, Sir William Gordon Gumming, for many years. Tho plaintiff admitted," he said, raising his voica slightly, "that his accusers wero acting conscientiously in this matter aud tho jury would find it impossible to believe that theso persona wero mistaken iu rogard to tho character of tho plaintiff's conduct on the nights of September 8 aud 0, 1800. The plaintiff had admitted that thoy were all persons of honor and honesty, and having mado the charges they adhered to them and the plaintiff had not asked to be confronted with cither of It is accusers. Tho objection to socresy camo from Mr.

Lycott Green, who asked that tho matter be "thrashed out thou and thero" iu ordor to avoid tho possibility of the plaintiff's afterward repudiating the charges. "Ihe plaintiff," continued Sir Charles Russell, after an effective pause, and again raising his voice slightly, "had signed a degrading, humiliating document and lie did not take steps to bring his slanderers to justice until he found himself in anothor position, then ho turned upon thoso who had been quite prepared to keep their agreement, though in thoir eyes ho was a dishonored man." With this remark Sir Charles seemed to take up anothor lino of argument, for he said, gaziay earnestly at tho jury: "Aud now how about tho threo principal actors and tho plaintiff's action In regard to them Do you, gentlemen of the jury, doubt that tho plaintiff know that each of thoso gentlemen believed him guilty? He knew that in their eyes ho was no longer in the category of honorable men. Was it eoucoivable that an innocent man, under bucIi eirenmhtauces, Bhouhi bring sucb an odious burden upon him. "The defendants would tell the Jury that their mouths romainod closed ia this matter until January. 7, 1801 (four months after tho eventful baccarat games at Tranby Crofi), when Sir William Gordon Gumming made an attempt, through Mr.

Betkolpy Levett, one of the witnesses, to uecure a modification or a withdrawal of tho chargs. The defendants thon said they were prepared to substantiate the charges which they had made against Sir William Gordon dimming. Sir Charles Russell then laid special stress upon tho peculiar circumstances under which the action was brought and referred, at length, to an interview which Sir William Gordon Gumming had with Lieutenant Levett, who was a subaltern in tho plaintiff's regiment, and who, being asked by Sir William to do what ho could with Mrs. Arthur Wilson iu regard to the baccarat scandal, replied that ho could not disbeliero hia own eyes, though he added that he would gladly do auy thing for tho pake of Sir William Gordon Gumming and for the sake of the regiment to which they belonged. "The plaintiff's conduct," Sir Charles Russell continued, "at no stage of this distressing Btory has been the conduct of an iu nocont and honorablo man.

No innocent and honorable rana would havo lain quiet under the charges mado against tho plain Uft or signed the confession which the plaintiff signed." Counsel for the defendants then said that tho prosont action was brought only when the plaint lif faih'd in his efforts to secure hia retirement on half pay from tho army. Continuing, Sir Charlus Unssoll dilatrd upon the innocent character of the Tranby Croft card party, and tie mild character of tho baccarat games 1 1 i.red iu September last, saying: "Ono of the satisf itcto: roHUlts of this catie has been the dissipation of tho absurd and preposteroms notions which havo been formed regard to the occurrences at Tranby Croft." At the request of Sir Charles Russell, models of tho whist tables used each night at Tranby Crott in September for playing baccarat (in default of regular baccarat tables), with the position of the Diayors especially marked upon them, wore produced. Sir Chailes Russell also caused tho jury to be shown photographs of the rooms atTranbyCroft where the games of baccarat were played. Tho jurymen examined thoso exhibits with a great deal of care, asked questions about the game, ttio tables, tho positions of the players, and conferred with each other upon several points which were raised by the praduction of tho exhibits. Sir Charles Russell aldo dwolt upon tho intricacies of the game of baccarat and explained to tho Jury that from the positions which, as thoy could see from the tables, tho players occupied, it was utterly impossible for tho witnesses to be mistaken as to the conduct with which Sir Vill iam Gordon Gumming was charged.

Iu describing tho events which took place in Mrs. Arthur Wilson's parlors, at Tranby Crolt, September 8, Sir Charles Russell said that Hr. Arthur Stanley Wilson witnosaod repeated of cheating upon tho part of Sir William Gordon Gumming, and that then he, Mr. Wilson, turned to Mr. Berkeley Levett and whisDered: Cutamlupr is cheating," the latter Mr.

Levett replied: Nonsense: you are mad." Bnt," added Sir Charles, Mr. Berkeley Levett. after receiving thiB communication, paid more attention to the game, watched Sir William Gordon Cumming's play, and aw for himself that what Mr. Arthur Stanley Wilson had said was true. After tho play waa over Mr.

Wilson told hia mother, Mrs. Arthur Wilson, aud Mr. and Mrs. Lycott Greon, of what ho had seen while Sir William Gordon Cumming waa playing, and thoy agreed, on the following night, to havo for baccarat playiug a properly marked table, with a lino upon it, beyond which tho player's stake must be placod. Mr.

Arthur Stanley Wilson, son of tho millionaire owner of Tranby Croft and tho leading stockholder of tho well known Wlson liuo of steamers, was the first witness for the defonce. Mr. Wilson testified to the fact that on tho first night of the baccarat playing at Tranby Croft, September 8, he saw a red counter, representing on a piece of paper in front of Sir William Gordon Cumming. When the latter's tableau won Sir William had his hands in front of him and he alio had another 5 counter iu the palm of his right hand. The baronet, according to this witness, then looked at Sir Edward Somerset's hand and, seeing that ho hold a natural and a oourt card, ho (Sir William) at onco dropped the 5 counter from his right hand and was paid on both of tho counters ho had thus placed pn the table.

The ovidonco given by Mr. Wilson without any hesitation and iu a manner which seemed to impress the jury and wbich decidedly impressed tho audience caused a great sensation in tho court room. Tho whispered comments of the women, bo noticeable yesterday wheiiBtarliug points were developed, was renewed with vigor and lasted for some minutes. Continuing, Mr. Arthur Wilson said that he Baw the same thing repeated by Sir William Gordon Cumming the same ovening and that he then told Mr.

Berkeley Levett that the baronet was cheating at cards. When he, Mr. Wilson, informed Mr. Levett of what ho had observed In Sir William' play Mr. Levett aaid that it was that he, the Frederick Lee, Like Farkie, Is "Willin'." It is Intimated, However, That Thera is Too Mnch "Freddy" in tiio PreliiniHnrr Gossip The Proposed Consolidation ef tho Tonne: Men's Democratic and ths Brooklyn Democratic Clubs.

The executive committees of thu Young men's Democratic club and tho Brooklyu Democratic club are still trying to agreo upon Borne plan for consolidation of tho two clubs. A prominent member of ono of the cluba said to an Eaole reporter this morning: "Two or three men who would bo delighted to receive a nomination for mayor are afraid that if tho two clnbs should bo consolidated they would be overshadowed. Each wants to keep to the front in hia respective club, iu the hopos that mayoralty lightning may slriko luru. Fred Loo would sacrifice his business for tho nomination, and Fred Hinrichs would without doubt thrust aside his vast business iutoreatB for the purpose of Borving the dear public. There ia altogether too much Fruddy In this proposed consolidation business.

Each club has on its roll books tho names of many atcrliug aud able young Democrats who aro not ambitioua for political honorB. Thoy will not bo led by thia or that member of tho two executive committees. I think they favor consolidation, but not for tho benefit of a few young men who have been trying to secure nominations for the last six years." A leading Democrat, however, Informed the reporter that if F. W. Hinrichs had already told a representative of tho machine, who "sounded him," that as he beliovod in divorcing muuioipal government from politics ho would not accept any "regular nomination atU." The politicians attach no" importance to tho proposed consolidation.

They boliove that the two clubs will contiune to be iu line with tho nominees of the regular Democratic organization, as they havo been in tho past. An alderman, in spoaking of the cluba, said: "Thero are Bome uloe young men and good Democrats in thoso two oluba, but what have the two org.mizationB ever accomplished 1 Havo they ever defeated or elected a man Have they ever prevented a nomination? 1 have looked iu on their meetings moro than once, aud each timo the attendance did not amount to a ward aaso elation meeting, so far at loast aa numbera were concerned." "I do not know who tho rival candidates for mayor will be," Baid ono of Mr. Ziogler's intimate friends this morning. "Bntldo know that the issue next fall will not bo based on promises of what will bo done. Tho people will bo asked to judge tho rival candidatesby what each has done, not by what he promises to do." "Has Mr.

Zioglor loft Brooklyn and taken resi dencc in Now York?" the reporter asked. "Ho has not, although that impression was conveyed by the auction salo at his honso." "It hai been said that Mr. Zieglor would not bo an available candidate bocauso ho had to compromise several law suits," said tho reporter. "He did not compromise. Ho won every suit that was brought to oourt.

1 do not say that ho will bo a candidate, but the reasous suggested by you would certainly not prevent him from being ono." THOUGHT HE RAM THE CIRCUS. A Cliicaso ITInu yir. for tlic l.tuc Adam FuruimHgrh. Chicago, 111., Juno 3. Just aa Chauncey M.

Don't you know, I felt shaky whon I aaw you coming aa though it were a ghost or something of that kind." "Yes?" rejoined tho orator, in a uon committal way.

Nd Union and Confederate Veterans Discuss It Satnidny'i Exercisw at the Tomb or Grant Citid as an Example of Doslr able Harmony Yiewi of CommisiIoMer Harden aad General McLeer.

The declaration of Harry Leo post antasonis tic to tho co operative exhibition and encampment of the blno aud the gray at the Chicago fair, and the icntimcnt of excomuiauication against Grand Army men who affiliate with confederate vetorans, whioh was published in the Eaole yesterday, have oroated widespread com mfint. The rank and file of Grand Army men iu Brooklyn oppose any uuoh sentiments as those voiced by Harry Leo post. This is because tho rank and file of Brooklyn'! Grand Army men foucht faithfully and hard for the preservation of tho Union, and they do not feel as if common fellowship with a defeated onemy can withdraw one whit from the brightness of their own doods. Tho very best minds iu the service since the civil war have given expression to tho earnest hope for complete reconciliation as tho only real safeguard for the future. Those anti blue and eray resolutions are looked upon by many G.

A. R. veterans as directed asaiust Grant post which, over since its formation, has had a warm corner at its campfirs ftr tho old Johnny Kebi against whom its members bo zealously contended thirty years ago. Good fiehtera aro generally ROd friends after the strife is over, and Grant post, as Major Corwin said, began to fraternize with the ex confedratos over the tomb of the great comman der in Itiver sido park five years ago. Thon they had with thorn a delegation from Robert E.

Lee camp confederate votoraus of Richmond, Va. At tho big dinner thoy gavo on the evening of April 28, 1800, in commemoration of Grant's birthday, they again visited thoir old Riohmond friends to be with them, and a special placo of honor was reserved at the guests' table with Generals Howard, Slooum, Woodford, Horace Porter, Wager Swayne and Admiral Kimberly for Colonel Charles Marshall of Baltimore, General Robert E. Lee's chief of staff. One of the rnSat touching features of tho decoration of Grant's tomb on Saturday last was tho presence of fifty members of confederate posts of Now York, including ex confoderato soldiers of New York and Brooklyn. Tho battlo scarred commander, his body filled with Yankee lead, was barely able to perform his part of the ceremony of laying the wreath upon the dead horo's tomb.

Then all hands, Union veterans and confederate veterans, listened with doep fooling to the eloquent words of ex Congressman John 8. Wise, who is a member of the confederate post of New York, and was a captain in the confederate artillery. It will be seen, therefore, that if th039 resolutions of Leo post hit the world fair in general that they very much more hit Grant post in particular, which has done just what Lee post opposes, in following out tho words of the great chieftain when ho said "Let us have peace." General Christian T. Christonsou wo seen at his office this morning and askod to express an opinion upon tho action af Leo post. Ho said: "Wo ought to bury all this war business.

The servicos over the body of bherinan ought to closo those bickerings. Once In awhile wo meet old comrades and rehearse tho scones and hardships of tho terrible struggle. But that is merely a recollection of ths past, iu its proper use. But men are making too much of this thing. I have no ill feelings against tho men who fought on the other side, and I have too much to do now to perpetuate the ill feelings of tho old strife.

I would shako tho hand of an ox rebed soldier just as readily as that of a Union soldier, but I ro peat that I think via all havo too much to do to keep stirring these things up all the time." I'olico Commissioner Henry I. Hayden had read tho resolutions of Harry Lee post with a good deal of fueling. Ho was, therefore, glad to have his opinion recorded concerning the action of the post. He said: "I do not believe in this antagonism to our old enemies. I believo that Grant post did just the best thing possible at the decoration day services at Grant's tomb on Saturday.

The war i twenty five years passed. These people are living among us with thoir families and thoy aro just as much a part of the peoplo of thiB commonwealth and tho Union, wherever they may be, as we are ourselves. I spent a number of years in tho South, during and after the war. I fought four years against tho South. When the war was over I was among thorn as a naval officer, I never received better treatment iu my iifo from any people than from the ex officers and soldiers of the confederate service.

It was enough for them that I was an officer iu the regular service. I was invited to their houses to dino and inoet their families and was made to fefd that they were my frionds. It. was not like any other war that ever was. It was often brothors Pitted against brothers and fathers against 6ons.

Then why not let bygones be bygones and treat your own flesh and blood as you would bo treated yourself? A friend of mino has written some verses upon tho decoration day services last week which I havo prepared to send to Grant post. One verse expresses my sentiments exactly. Hera it is: What if we thought thoy were wrong. Were they worse than all others, From the same mountains and plains, With the same losses aud gains, With the same bio id in thoir veins? They were our brothers. General James llcLeer took a conservative view of these expressions either of fraternity or of abHolute antagonism.

He said: "The danger is iu overdoing tho matter of brotherly love, as it is sometimes called. Wo must take care that we do not underestimate tho sorvices and sacrifices made to save the Union. Thero was a right and a wrong side to tho war of 1801 05. Woof tho North wero right and tho South wrong. This faot should not be last sight f.

The Union veteran and the confederate veteran do not stand equal boforo tho country. Let us have but one ilag as well as one country. We of the Union army aud navy boar no ill will toward the Southern soldier. Wo havo long since forgiven him and he knows it. With some ex ceptions the veterans of both sides who aro now doing the most kissing did the least fighting in war times.

'Ihey aro Senator Walthall of Mississippi, who used to bo one of our bent major generals, and Congros man Lantham of Texas ex sergeant of tho Third North Carolina. Both now have the pleasure of voting pensions to tho numerous old federal soldiers who, unlike tho members of Lao post, bo lievo the war is over, and havo gono South, where they aro rogardod as honorable and desirable neighbors and citeous worthy of every fraternal consideration. I would not bo surprised to hear thatLeopo.it would advise that the Eagle bo boycotted, bocauso it was the only paper that printed Johnny Wise's decoration day address in full, or that it wanted its name changed because it is the same as good old Massa Bob, who led us all through tho ups aud downs of the army of Virginia. Such people make you very weary when you remember that it is over twenty six years since I gave my parolo at Appomattox." Tho New York confederate veteran camp was formed ou April 0, 1BD0, a fow weolta previous to the unvailing of tho Lee memorial at Richmond, in which ceremony it took part. It has now nearly two hundred members men who are leaders in every walk, social, commercial and professional, iu the busy life of New York and Brooklyn.

Its constitution states that its object is to perpetuato the memories "of our fallen comrades, to minister to tho wants of needy and worthy confederate soldiers, their widows and And then the article adds: "Having long since buried the animosities engendered by tho war, it is our desire to extend to our late adversaries in arms, on every fittiutf occasion, oonrtesios whioh characterize intercourse between soldiers and dignify a conimou citizenship.

The tugboats Indian and Eaton started out at 3 o'clock this morning from Gowanus bay with tho public bath house Manhattan, a structure about fifty feet square, in tow for North Third street, this oity. All went well until the Buttermilk channel was reached, when tho outgoing tide swept along with such force as to make progress very slow and strained tho tow lines bo much that when just past the bridgo thoy broke, leaving tho bath honso to drift rapidly down the river again. One of tho Catharine street forry boatB was passing at the timo, and it was only by vory quiok aotion ou the part of tho pilot that collision was avoided.

City Works CommisBionor Adams has dismissed from tho service Augustus Taylor and John Connor, inspectors of curbing and guttering, under the following circumstances: On April 13 Alderman Wafer had the board pasa a resolution directing the commissioner to cause curbs and guttera in the Sixth ward to bo repaired and reset "where designated by tho alderman residing in the ward, at an expense not to exceed $250." Mr.

Wafer ia the resident al derrnan, and, aa is usual in such cases, he recommended that the Job bo given to ContractorWilliam Connolly. Tho contract was accordingly awarded to Connolly, specifications wero made and Alderman Wafer designated whero tho work was to bo done. Assistant Engineer Georgo' W. Martin, of the departmont of city works, who haa charge of these matters, directed Taylor and Connor to inspect the work and make a report in writing of the results of thoir inspection. This waa in May, Taylor and Connor in due timo mado what they called an inapociion, and tho former submitted a report on May 20, as follows: I havo mado a flnial inspection of this work aud find it too bo in good condictiou and from appearance have been done in accordance with its specfication.

Mr. Connolly had sworu to and put in a bill for $2 10.75, charging for resetting y.SoO feet of curbing, for feet of new curbing ami 20 feet of new guttoring. Mr. Connolly's bill has not been paid, and the chances aro that it will not be paid. It aeetni that somo of the residents of the neighborhood in which Mr.

Connolly was employed to do work had been carefully observing his performances, and after ho had retired thoy wero convinced that he had done really littlo or nothing. Thoy called Commissioner Adams' attantion to tho matter and the commissioner directed Assistant Engineer Martin to niako an investigation. Mr. Martin mado an investigation and roportod tho results iu the following communication, which Mr. Adams gavo to tho reporter to day: Buookxvn, May 28, 1801.

Hon. John P. Adams, Commissioned of City Works: Deak Sir In accordance with your instructions Isubmit the resolution, cuntract order and bill of contractor for repairing curb and glitter in the Sixth ward. The manner of doing tho work is as follows: After receiving tho resolution tho alderman wiio passes it sends a list of the work he desires repaired, an inspector is sent out to measure what work ia requirod to be done and report if any new curb and gutter is required. Upon his report tho contract is mado with the party designated by the alderman, and one of the Inspector ia required to visit tho work at least once a day during ita progress and make a final report, which ia then filed and a bill passed upon that report.

The contract for the work iu the Sixth ward has reached as far as the presentation of tho bill aud I have this day made a personal iugpecti jn of the work, especially on Degraw street, aa you directed, and am satisfied that not over twenty feet of curb has been reset ou the wholo liuo aud if any work has been done no attention haa been paid to tho specifications. I could not determine how much of tho gutter had bean relatd, but I think less than fifty foot would cover it. Iu fact I think that tho curb as it is at present fs as good as the average curb through the city. The contractor has carted sand on tho Btreot and spread it along the curb to giva it tho appearanco of work having been done, but it seouis to mo that any ono could Beo that no work of any kind has been dono. Respectfully, Geokoe W.

Mahtix, Assistant Engineer. Upon reading this report the commissioner decided to dismiss Taylor and Connor from the departmont. It dooa not yet appear that ho has taken any action against Contractor Connolly, or that ho intonds to follow up tho matter. Payment of tho bill has boon stoppod. THE UREENPOiXT SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
