"Were you not served with tho customary Two Hundred Angry Printers in Gallatin Place. A Heartless Joker Adyoriised for TwcntT Compositors to Work on a Nonspaner and Ton Times That Numbyr Responded Some person, who must havo been inspired with a malicious or reckless kind or humor, sent in advertisement to tho offico of the Brooklyn odW tion of a New York paper, which wm worded aS follows: COMPOS1TORS 20 MEN; MCW PAPEB. Apply 10 Gallatin pi, llrooklyn. There were not only twenty men but over two hundred who wore out of work, and who thronged Gallatin place from before 7 until aftor 0 this morning. Tho crowd attracted tho attention of tho officer on nost, who proceeded to investigate.

Each man had a cony of the ad vertisemeut with him, but when tlisy stopped to inquiro at tho number of tho houso given they found that it was a three story1 and basement brown stono dwelling, which not only exhibited no'ovidence of the sprouting of another Brooklyn Journal, but wan unocouplod, The policeman, in answer to inquiries made by the printers, aaid he had beou instructed to watch the house, as it was a vacant dwelling, and (hat he had seen no sign of presses or any kind of machinery going in it. It dawned pretty quickly upon tho applicants that they had been colleated there by a "fake" advertisement, and if Iho person who inserted it had been present and known he wouldn't havo escaped very easily. Some of the men camo from New Jersey, others walked all the way from nptown in New York and footed it over tho bridge, several were from Long Island City, and three came from Statou Island. The most of them had no money to get baok, and local printers to whom they appealed gave them sufficient to get to their homes. It was discovered that the agent for tho preminus was Julius N.

Kalley, of 211 Montague atreet. Somo of the indignant and disappointed compositors went to him and found that the premises bad never been let to any person, and that under any circumstances they could not be obtained for a newspaper offico. Tho general Impression Is that Borne compositor put iu tho advertisement as a joke. It was a pretty rough one ou the poor fel iows who had beon out of employment, wero look ing fur work and wero fooled. MO.NEY MAItKET CLO SIHU ItKI'dKT.

"Thia examination of accounts." replied Preaident Wagstaff, "ia made in response to a request I sent to Mayor Grant and Mayor Chapin. I have done it for my own protection. Such things ro customary under the circumstances.

I simply want to get official certification that everything is all right." "Under whoso diroction havo the Now York examiners proceeded in beginning their work back lu 18S was asked. "I suppose they get their.orders from the commissioners of accounts, who aro subject to Mayor Grant's directions." "Why havo they gono back to 1884 iu the inspection?" "Woll, simply to satisfy tbomsolvos, I suppose. Tho work since that timo haa beon done by Brooklyn experts. I presume tho idoa is merely to make the examination on tho part of Now York coniplote up to tho presont time." 'TVhy havo not tho Now York authorities audited the accounts every six mouths aa Brooklyn haa done?" "BecauBe they did not foel like it, I supposo; or, porhaps, did not deem it necessary to send men over here so often." "Will the expense of tho work bo borne by the bridge or by New York "Well, it is about six of ono and half a dozen of the other. I really cannot tell from Just what source the money will come.

It would seem like a mattor of taking it out of ono pocket to put it into tho other, Beeing that tho brldvo rocoipta aro paid thu two cities." Various speculations are. indulged in by thoso oonversant with bridge affairs as to the real reason for the attitude assumed by New York in regard to tho examination of the accounts. Whilo it is generally conceded to bo a slap in the faco for tho Brooklyn board of audit, it is not beliovod to havo boon assumed for tho purposo of giving that affront. Sufficient ground alas Boenis to bo lacking for iho opinion that the extended examination haa boen ordored for the purpose of furnishing employment to New York man. The theory, alao, baaod upon tho fact that the experts havo begun their work with the examination of the toll collectors' receipts, that a gunning expedition has beon or ganized to Becure tho acalps of Honry R.

Yau Keukoti, general tickot agent, and a number of hia collectors, Booms to bo discounted by tho fact that tho logioal course of Buch a thorough inapection aa that which to bo mado requires a beginning at tho basis of all the accounts, which aro tho daily reoeipts. As these moneys havo always boon banked as soon as they wero counted the process will be to check tho roceipts by tho bank accounts and the diabursomonts by tho bank balances. Nevertheless tho action takon when Tain many put Troasurer George B. MoClellan in offico aud reduced Mr. Van Kouron from superintendent of tolls to his prosent standing ia cltod aa indicating a longing for the latter'a Bcalp.

What seems to bo a reasonable hypothesis ia that the extended examination is entered npon as a sort of threat to mako easier tho patronago grabs, which tho Brooklyn trus tees would certainly oppose. The exoorienco of othor yoara, howovor, is called up to Justify the orediction that tho Brooklyn contingent will not acaro for a cent. When the examination somo years ago, about which a groat hue and cry waa raised, had beon concluded, with the result of disclosing a fow clerical errors, tho oxports em ployed complimented tho bridgo ofiioials upon their conduetof tho finances of tha big structure. It is held that the worst disclosure that can bo made will not rovoal anything moro damaging than did that examination. That tho Now York exports may find features in tho system of ao couutB and purchase of supplies which thoy may recommond to be ohanged is doomed not unlikely, as it has beou a hobby witli Mayor Grant aud Controller Myers to at taok the latter.

BARNUM'S WIFE. The Strange Story of Her Florida Divorce. Married Again Before the Law Had Sot Her at Libsrty Swearing That a Brooklyn Wedding Tok Place a Tear Before It Win SoleniniZ'd Oiie Way of HarmoniziufrCoiiflietiHff Figures Some Amez'ms Affidavits John Wood' Sliare iH tho Snrpriiinir Affair Tho Staseor Ibc Teiiimony of a "Material Witnois." uo or tlie Most UmarliablB Cnsos on Becord. In a recent issue of the Eaole was published an announcement to the effect that Charles O. Barnum had by Justice Rartlott been grantod a decree of divorce from Annie G.

Barnuiu. The announcement waB unburdened by a aUDCrfliioiia word. Until tho judioial decision was rendered Mr. Baruum, of courso, regarded Annie G. Bar num as bin wife.

The decree waa granted July Ida little over a week ago. While Mr. Barnuni looked at tho niattor from one point of viow, Mrs. Barnuiu looked at it from another. According to her notions she ceased to bo Mr.

Barnum'awife in July. 1800. Thero were two vory substantial reasons, she claimed, why divorce proceedings were absurd. One was that a Florida court had already given her a divorco decree and tho other waa that she had become the wife of another man Frederick A. Condict.

Both parties to this rathor interesting coutro vorsy are well known in this city. lira. Baruum is tho daughter of Mr. John Wood, one of tho most active and influential of Dr. Talmage'a supporters, while Mr.

Baruum is and for many yoara ban been a prominent member of the Twouty third regiment. It will be seen that Mr. Barnum's position was quite peouliar. He was confronted by a Florida divorce and a seoond marriage, but these obstacles, formidable or otherwise, did not deter him and he insisted on pushing tho ca ie to the conclusion which, with the aid of the law, was reached a few days since. Until July 10, therefore, according to Judgo Barllett, Mr.

Wood's daughter had not coased to be MrH. Baruum. It does not seem necessary to add that a most most embarrassing situation now confronts Mr. Condict and the woman who went to tho altar with him. Another niarriago will simplify matters and give thoir child a legal right to its father's name.

In the meantime it is Quite natural to ask, What was tho mattor with the Florida divorce? Just about a year ago Mr. Barnum began in the Kings county supreme court tho proceedings which Justico Bartlott's decision terminated. The supreme court calendar is orowded, and even domestio complications must take their turu. The "other side" asked for a delay of twenty days and got it, and askod for another delay of twenty days and got that, too. In rosponao to a third and similar miuest ten days more was given them.

They made good use of tho timo thus afforded. Inbtead of denying Mr. Barman's allegations, and, by the way, Mr. Condict was rnade corespondent, they submitted tho Florida divorce as a dofense. This divorco was granted in the same month of tho same year that Mr.

Barnum began his Buit July, 1800. "I don't want any newspaper notoriety about Jho case, and I hare persistently declined to talk ibout it for publication" remarked Mr. Burnum, ''but there's oho vory romarkablo thing about it." "What is than "The Florida divorco was grantod in July, 1800, and Mrs. Barnum's second marriago occurred lu June, 1800." "i'on mint be mistaken about the date of the second marriage." "I'm not mistaken about it. They wore married by the Rev.

Dr. Prltohard, June 5, 1800." "What was the use of being married to ono man before she waa divorced from another "Excuse mc, 1 profer not to discusB that. Perhaps they will tell you if you ask them." tVhon Mr. Barnum commenced his suit he had heard of the marriage and thero had been some talk of a suit for bigamy, but with this talk he had, ho said, nothing whatover to do, nor did he, hCadds, ever entertain tho idea of figuring in a bigamy ease. Ho was a vory uiuch astonished toan when bo first heard of the divorce.

As soon Ji he found that the defense was to hava as its cornerstone the Florida decree ho wroto to Pal tka, a copy of tho papers. In duo course time his oounel was In possession of tho documents. Knowing that tho dato of second tnarriago was Juno 5, his surprise on discovering that it preceded tho filing of the Florida decree may be imagined. His counsel, supposing that the date, July 21, waa a clerical error, wroto tho following letter to the county clerk of Putnam county; New Yonn, September 8, 1800. Frank Wrtght, i Leah Sih This morning on return to my offico I received your communication.

I herewith in Closo my check for $3. I desiro to call your attention to the fact that the bill of complaint is not signed or sworn to by Mrs. Barnum and that twice the date July 21, 1800, appears. Is this bo In the original or Is it a clerical error, and if so, can I correct it without returning it to you? ThaukB for your promptness. Yours, David K.

Case. Lawyer Caso could Bearcely believe It possible that marriage No. 2 could procodo divorco No. but the answer of the county clerk loft him no alternative. This Is Mr.

Wright's reply: Bill not signed by Mrs. li. That point not at all material here. July 21. 3 890, was dato of several filings in the caso.

The rpoord Bent you is correct and is as appears In said record. When the novolty of this revolation had worn off, Mr. Barnum turned his attontion to other features of the Florida caso against him. Ho interposed no defense uocause. as already stated, he know uo moro about tho preceodidaa in that state than ho would havo known had they beon conducted in the moon.

The failure of Mrs. Barnum to sign her own complaint is not regarded as "material" in Palatka, but the complaint reads as though she proposed to sign It. This is the language of part of iti Your oratrix, Annie G. Barnum, humbly com "plaluiiig, brings this her bill of complaint against "Charles Barnum, her husband, and respectfully showB unto your honor i That she has resided in the Btato of Florida, county of Putnam, for more than two years continuously prior and up to tho time of bringing this bill of complaint. That on the 18th day of November, A.

D. 1884, the was married to the defendant, Charles H. Barnum, in tho city of Brooklyn, state of New I'ork. That on tho 10 th day of Novoraber, 1880, he Jesertcd her and has nevor returned or offered to return to live with your oratrix. hia wife, hero or elsewhere, but on the contrary ho deserted your oratrix.

his wife, and has continued said de (ertiou of your oratrix Rince tho said 10th day of November, 188G, continuously up to tho preBent moment and has totally failed to maintain or support her or provide her with any means, though requested to do uo, and haa neror shown any inclination or desiro to live with or return to your orutrix but refuses to do so. Aim your orairix cnargos: First That said desertion sertiou was aud is iutontiou si. Hceond That it has been willful, obstinate and continued for more than one year continuously up to and prior to April 2, A. 1888, tho date of filing this bill of complaint. He declared that ho would never return to livo with her again iu he left hur and never has.

'I bird That said desertion has been aud is without any just or reasonable oauso or excuo on tho part of said defondant. Wherefore, your oratrix prays your honor to nuike a decree suitable and proper in the promise, annulling and dissolving the marriage cnter fd into between your oratrix and the defendant, because of the willful, obstinate and continued dc SL'i tion of your oratrix by the said defendant (or the terra of one year and more continuously prior and up to the time of filing this complaint. May It please your honor to grant unto your oratrix the state's most gracious writ of subpena to bo directed to tho said Uhailos H. Burnum, defendant, commanding Mm within a certain time and under a certain penalty to be therein named to be and appear before this honorable court, to do, perform and abide by gnoh order and decreo 1,8 shall be made and that your oratrix may have such other and further relief as to tlie equity may appertain. And your oratrix shall over pray.

Calhoun Davis, Complainant's Solicitors. Immediately below this complaint is a form of affidavit setting forth that "On this day personally came complainant, who, iirst being duly Bworu, says that tho statements made In said bill are true." To this form of affidavit Mri. Bar num'H name is not attached, though, according to the complaint, iho thou resided in the state. As to Mrs. Barnum'n residenco in Florida.

Mr. Baruum volunteers this rather sweeping statement: "Sho nevor lived in Florida. Sho wont South with a Tabernaole oxcuraion and that was about the limit of her residence there." If Barnum was surprised to find that his wiio ventured upon a socoud marriage before tho first had boon dissolved, he wae a good deal more surprised to learn from the Florida papers that he became a flouedict on November 18, A. D. 1881.

"As a matter of. fact," ho says, "we were married on tho ICth day of November, 188S." "You are not mistaken about that date "I should think not." "What is tho significance of that misstatement do you kuow of anyobjoot for it? "Perhaps you think it is a mistake a mere Blip if the pen or a littlo forgotfulness." "What in it?" "You look over the papers carofully for your ielr, and I think you'll succeed in discovering the significance ofit for yourself." Aa Mr. Barnum was sufficiently ungracious; to give no further clow to tho matter, tho papers here appealed to. It was not necessary to pur jue tho investigation any further than to givo a second perusal to what has boon already quoted. This Bpealis for itself: That she has restdod in tho state of Florida, county of Putnam, tor more than two years continuously prior aud up to the time of bringing lug thia bill or complaint.

(April. 1888.) That on tho day of November, 1880, ho dCBortod her, etc. According to these statements Mrs. Barnum bad in April, 1888, lived continuously in Florida for over two yeara aud Mr. Barnum had deserted ftor only niueleen months previously.

Tbe only Way to harmonize ilia two proportions Is to aup poso that the couple lived together In the South ror several months, but at nothing the kind figured in their unfortunate marital history, ihe effort at harmonizing must be abandoned, Tlje tooument in this and ather features Is such an Extraordinary production that fulllmiiee cannot fee done it wlthoni a literal reproduction of some jther features of It.

When Marnhal W. Day loft his handbaa in the office of Counselor T. P. Donnelly, at 101 Grand streot.somo four weeks ago, as told iu yeaterday'a Eaole, ho must indeod have beon aorely pressed by some unknown cause, or else greatly oxoited, for, with a criminal indictment against him and a bondsinan hard in pursuit, the relinquishing of a bag full of private lettera and papers which bo clearly proved hia identity and threw so much light on his private affairs would suggest some derangement of tho young man'a mind. That he went to Lawyer Donnelly for tho purpose of getting legal advice of Bomo kind is tho only supposition possible; but his sudden exit from the lawyor's office is but anothor ohapter in the somewhat checkered story of thin onoe dashing yonui; man.

Aa haa already been told in tho Eaole, the mysterious bag lay undisturbed iu Mr. Donnelly' offico until a day or two, as the lawyer presumed that its owner would turn np in due time to claim hia proporty. When Mr. Day did not put in an appoaranco tho bag waa at last opened and among the ietters found therein were many from, hia brother, Orrin Day; his mother, a Mr. E.

M. Howard a woman named Maggie Brady. The various documeuts ssomod to point to tho fact that young Day had gotten Into some kind of trouble, and, in fact, showed that he was under a criminal Indictment of aome nature. Further than this the lettera from Mr. Howard diacloaed the fact that Day had jumped a bail bond furnlah'e 1 by that person, and the mother wrote of her endeavors to do everything to free her boy from his present prodicamont, even to the sacrificing of all her property.

It waa presumed tint a man with bo many extremely unploasant prospecta would wish to avoid society at largo, but aa near as can bo learned Day haa not taken vory much troublo to hide his whereabouta, at least for some mouths paBt. This morning an endeavor waa mado to find out something or Mr. Day's past history. Among the letters written to him by his brothor, Orrin Day, found in tho bag, were aome upon the letter heads of a prominent New York produce commission house. A call upon the firm elioitod tho information that, whilo neithor Orrin nor' Marshal W.

Day had ever beon in any way oonnocted with the house, they wero acquaintances in a way with some of the members. Iu fact, one of the part ners remarked that ho had known Marshal Day to the tune of $5, which tho lattor had borrowed, but failed to return. Sinco that time nothing had boen soon of tho man and tho speaker said that ho had heard that ho waa rusticating Bomc where on Long Island. It was said that Orrin Day had some kiud of an office somowbero in Harlem, but a diligent search failed to disclose its whoreabouta. It was learned that S.

T. Adams had acted aa the attorney for bondsman, E. 31. Howard. At hia oflice, 00 Broadway, whilo Mr.

Adams waB absont from tho oity, hia managing clerk, Mr. E. W. Hoegberg, bad a few items of intoreat relative to Mr. Day's oareor.

Of course wo have had no direct dealing with young Marshal Day, aa wo wero only retained by Mr. Howard to try to back tho mouoy paid on that forfeiied bond. From what 1 know of Day I should Jtnlgo that ho haa led a pretty fast life and that his present troublo is tho result of his too constant attondanco ou tho gaming tablo and racecourse. He comes from a very good family of Unadtlla, and I believe that his mothor at ono time had considerable property. At preeont, however, I guess Day haa made considerable of a hole in it, for I think thia particular affair haa coat bis family a rathor snug sum." 'What ia tho iudiotment against him?" 'Well as near aa I can now remember it waB for embezzling tho funds of a firm in New York.

As near as I can toll, tbe aamo of tho firm waa Fowler or somethiug of that kind. I only know that Day had a good poaition thero aud would havo made something of himself If ho had kept away from bad company. Tho truth is he was what you might call a 'lady'B He was a dashing fellow; always dressed iu tip top style and generally had plenty of money to spend. It was keeping up with such a pace that forced him to take what did not belong to him." "What amount waa ho charged with appropriating?" "I believo it waa only $400 or $500. It haa been tlireo years ago and I cannot remember, but am sure it waa not much moro, for hia bond waa only $700.

I think hia mother and family fixed up tho civil part of the troublo with the firm aud on tho criminal indictrnont he obtained Mr. Howard as surety ou tho bond. I think Howard camo from also, and iu that way becatno acquainted with Day. At that time Howard had considerable money and could well stand tho loss of $700, for Day skipped hia bond and'no one kuew where to find him. Wo wero employed by Mr.

Howard, who became somewhat hard presaed for money, to collect tho amount of tho bond. Promises havo been mado from time to time by his family to make good his. Howard's, loss, but nothing has yot beon done. We would like very much to get hold of Da'y, for that ia the only way I seo force payment of the bond, but it would hardly pay us to employ a detective, so nothing haa yet beon done. I do not know, whero Mr.

Howard is at present, but pre i aunie that he will bo glad to get any tidings of Day's whoreabouta." Tho mystorioua bag and its contontB havo been turned over to the police of the Fifth precinct and the detectives ar endeavoring to find out what haB become of tho man who loft it. No ono has claimed tho bag. Maggie Brady, who is a domestic iu a Willough by atreet family and figures as tho ardont admirer of Marshal Day, was seen by an Eaole reporter. She is a tall, comely woman of sorao 35 years of age. Streaks of sllvor hair havo begna to appear in hor tresses, but notwithstanding this alio acts well the part of a blushing coy maid of 19.

When asked as to MarBhal Day aha aaid that last summer while at Northport with tho Van Iderstein family she met him while out for a stroll. Ho seemed to be a very nice young man, and Mageio said that at once she felt the tendrils of love shoot out and in a fow weeks thoy becamo ardont lovera. At first the interchaugo of hugs and kiases iu lottera appears to have boen carried on very frequently, but finally Maggio booame aware that Marshal did not lovo hor, and wroto to him, saying: "It is always my luck to love and not bo lovod; it la nothing strange at present, and if such is the case that your affection is gono in another diroction please let mo know and do not bo deceitful." She aout several sums of money to her lover, both before and after this letter, but finally ho camo to Brooklyn, and for soveral mouths bIio heard nothing of hia whereabouts. Their love waB once again renewed ajid about six months ago Marbhal waa the recipient of another sum of $10 in a letter from Maggie. When Miss Brady waa questioned as to the whoreabouta of Day she said she knew nothing of his doinga or hia previoua history.

Her love for him had not diminished, and when it was suggested that tho whilom Marshal might have committed sulcido she said, "Oh! mother, save mo I be wouldn't do that." Of the dark crimo which Day iB supposed to havo committed Maggie knew nothing. A ring at the door boll of a Utile cottage at 43 Aberdeon Btreot brought a woman to tho door wdio said alio was Mrs. Wilson aud that sho had only been married four weeks. Sho was about 40 years old. She had known Marshal W.

Day for tho last eight months; in fact he had boarded at her house for six months, during which timo sho recoived $10 a week board. "When askod to Htate what sho know in referonoo to Day she aaid: "He came to my house to board botiveen Thanks giving and Christmas. Tha first wook he said ho did not have any money, but that iu a short timo ho would roceivo a largo amount At this timo ho was working for Bedell and he brought a lettar' from his superintendent to that effect. I thought ho wa i a hard working man who had had a streak of bad luck, so I did not push him for the money. This kept up for some time, and when I told him I must have money ho brought me $4 and soon after gavo me $3 more.

This was all that I ever received from him, About four weeks age ho said that ho was appointod superintendent, and as ho hadn't any watch asked for tho loan of $4 to got his out of pawn. I gave him the mouoy, Then he camo and told me bis watch waa being fixed and wanted tho loau of my gold watch. I gavo It to him and I havo not hoard it tick since, although I have the ticket." Mr. Wilson produced a pawn ticket on which was written "Ono cold watch, $7, Day," and another for a ring for 75 cents. "After this I got married and my namo was ohangod from Miss Hoppor to Mrs.

Wilaon. 1 then told him he would havo to leavo the house. He wont and so also did auotlwr gold watch, a eold chain, two pair of cuff buttonB, 6omo linen and various other articles. I made a complaint to the polico and they arrested him, but he waB released. Ho came to the houso about two weeks ago.

Ho waa drunk and wantod to come in. I told him to go away and told him what I thought of him. I became mad; It wasn't exactly proper, but I gave him a good Bound drubbing and he weut away. At this time I also accused him 'of stealing my things. He denied it, but there wB no ono else to tako them.

I have not seen him sinco." Oaptaln James Dunn was seen at the Gates ave nuo police station. Ho said: "A complaint was made hero about four weeks ago by Mrs. Wilson. I sot Detective Anderson on the case aud meantime Marshal Day appeared and told the sergeant at tho deak the story. Ho aaid he lived with Mra.

Wilaon, formerly Misa Hoppor, and never paid any board. She gave hiin a ring afad a watch. Now that sho ia married to anothor boarder, who was in tho houao at the same time as he, she bad put mm out. Day seems to be a hard working youug man and can be found by Dotectiro Anderson at any time. He lives right in tho neighborhood and I think works soma whore down in South Brooklyn on a building.

Ha drinks heavily at times, and it must have been iu one of his spells that he left tho sachoi at the lawyor's office. He has never dono anything wmne. and from tho atorlea told by MrB. Wilson and MarBhal Day I Concluded that he did not take tho artielos, out that they wore given to him. You can seo tho myaterloua owner of that B'achel to night if you desiro."

Coiiiinsr Changes ia the State Committee. Alderman HcKee Hakes Another imi natien Boos He Propoio to Plact an Entire Ticket in' the Field? The An swer TrToald Sesm to Depend on tho Supply of raiormeln. After the meeting of the common council last night the aldermen got together and decided to give a dinner to their lato fellow member, Aldor man McCarty. A oommittos of arrangements was appointed as 'follows: Aldermen Heauey, Coffey, Thomas and Pickering. The dinner will be given within ten dayB, probably at the Brighton Beach hotel.

Ex Aldorman McCarty is amorabor of tho Democratio stato central committee and so is John Delmar. Both, reside in Mr. Boody's congressional district. Each has a residence in the Twenty second ward. McCarty when made a member of the state cemmittee lived in tho Fifth ward, in the Forth congressional district.

Tho next Btato convention is expected to make changes in the Btato committee aud now tho pbll ticians aro anxious to know if tho ex alderman intends to try and take John Delmar's place on tho committee. Friends of the ex aldorman Bay that ho will not bo a candidate againat Delmar: that he has no de dosire to remain on tho stato committee. They say tho ox alderman may bo a candidate for state senator in the Socoud district, and ao will not care to antagonize Delmar. Mr. McCarty aays he la not a candidate for a aoat in tho stato committee.

A membor of tho Democratio general committee, in referring to tho possibility of a contest and Delmar, said: "Delmarlcould not prevent McOarty's nomination for senator in oase tho ex alderman desired it. And ho could not prevent MoCarty from going on the Btato committoe if tho latter Bhould care to make a fight for the place. In tho Second congressional aud the Eighth, Ninth, Twoirth, Twenty aeoond, Twonty fourtb, Twenty fifth and Twenty sixth wards, and Flatbush, Flatlands, GraveBend and New Utrecht. Danlol Ryan would not hurt McCarty in the Eighth ward, Daniel O'Conneli aud Geerge Sterling would probably be for him in the Ninth ward; Alderman Coffoy of tho Twelfth ward is his friend, so is French of tho Twonty fourth ward, Glendeuning of the Twenty fifth, aud Adama and Suttor aro Twenty aixth ward friends. Lynam of Flatbuah, Wilson of Flatlands, Burrill of Gravosend and ForguBou of Now Utreoht would undoubtedly bo for MoCarty.

Ho conld be nominated for stato senator and Delmar could not boat him in a Democratic stronghold. 1 know that McCarty does not feel any inclina tion to have troublo with Delmar, but it is aa plain as tho noso on yonr face that Delmar haa no longer a cast iron grip on tho Second congros ioual district." These arc dull days for tho frequenters of the city hall. Peoplo who havo business to transact get through with it as quickly as possible and then hurry from the place. By 2 o'clook in the afternoon tho oorridors of the hall aro almost doserted. By this time most of the politicians and Buoh of tho publio servants who oan obtain leavo of abaenoo aro off to tho raooa or the sea shore The few local Democratio lcadora who visit the hall have little or no political Information to impart beyond the announcement that thoy aro for Chapin for governor.

Asked to namo probable nomiueos for tho city and county tickets, theao leaders profosa to bo absolutely it norant aB to who will be nominated. Whilo these leaders havo buttoned their lips Alderman MoKeo ia keeping his mouth wido open. Thia morning one of the aldermen's associates in tho oommon council said: 'Every timo that MoKoo cuts a watermelon lately ho makes a nomination." Thia remark waa prompted by the announce ment that yesterday, while on tho oxcur8ion of the David B. Hill club of the Fifteenth ward, Alderman MeKee mado no of hia charaetoriatio speechos. in which he nominated Fire Couimis aionerEnuia for county clerk.

Mr. Knnis was present a smiling listener. Tho nomination was enthusiastically received by the alderman's au dienco, many of whom knew that a few years ago Mr. Enuia waa anxioua to aecuro a county nomination. Tho flro commissioner, however, is understood to regard hia nomination by McKee aa a friendly Joke.

The alderman is said to have accepted invitations to soveral excursions that aro to tako place between now and September, and he Is credited with having in formed a friend that boforo tho oloso of tho summer soason ho proposed to nomiaato candidates for every plaoo on the oity and county ticket. His nominations up to dato are as fol lows For mayor District Atterney Itidgway. For county clork Firo Commissioner Ennis. Invitations to excursions, olam bakoa aud chowder parties aro pouring in upon tlie alder, man from all directions. If his nominations amount to nothing more ho will at least have abundant opportunities to sample all the water melons that man could reasonably wish for.

Alderman MoOarry ia credited with a deaire to get on McKeo's ticket. Tho followers of McGarry arc to have a monster oxonrsion Boon, and an order has been aout to Georgia for tho largest watermelon to bo had in tho state. And Alderman McKee will bo oxpoctod to slice that melon. Strykor Williamson says ho had a pleaaant ohat with the alderman recently, and that wheu tho latter left him he found on the sidewalk where McKee had been standing a piece of common council note bearing tho following For nominator at largo Alderman McKee. For mayor District Attorney Ridzway.

For county clerk Fire Commissioner Ennis. For register Aldorman McGarry. For supervisor at large Adam Schaaf. For senator, Second district Alderman Mc Carty. For sonator, Third district Assemblyman Sutherland.

For senator, Fourth district Senator McCar ren. For county treasurer Alderman Heanoy. James Shevlin, Alderman McCarty, Register Kano and other prominent Democrats simply amile when asked what they think of McKee'a nominations. They will not discuss his nomiua ions seriously. They aeem to think that McKeo is in a good natured way supplying food for political goasip.

One of the80 leaders said to day: trust that tho watermelon atock will not run short until wc aro proparod to seriously con sider tho claims of candidates for nominations. McKeo is entitled to the biggest kind of water melons for giving tho boys something to talk about during tho heated term." One of the topics of languid conversation city hall circles to day was the election of Will iam Jordan to a seat in the board of aldormon. Some of his Fifth ward friends think he has made a mistake in taking the. place. Thomas Finn of tho Fifth ward Democratic ward organi zation said! "I think Billy is foolish to givo up an oflice with a $3,000 salary for au offico that has no salary." SHE COMMITTED SUICIDE.

Frances Ranch Said in a r.cltcr That Mm Has Tired of Life. Last Monday the body of a woman which was floating iu tho slip of tho Thirty ninth street ferry, South Brooklyn, was discovered by John Draper, who is omployod in a bank noto establishment in Now York. Ho called the attontion of tho deck hands of tho boat to the faot, but they Baid they had no small boat to send out to secure the corpse. Mr. Draper wont to BaWs' placo, hired a skiff and with anothor man drew tho body ashore.

It waa that of a young woman whOBO clothing was fairly decent and who was evidently a cripple. Ono of hor shoes showed that ono limb was deformed. Sho was, however, unidentified, and thero was nothing on her person but her clothes and 8 cents In money. Tho body was taken to an under taker's on Third avenue, where it lay uurocog nized until yesterday. An aunt of tho dead girl said that tho corpse was that of Frances Iiaugh, who lived at 530 West Forty sixth street, Now Yoik, and who wai 24 years old.

Sho was a aeam strcaB, but of lato had been earning but a scanty living. Sho became discouraged and left the house on Saturday last. Sho also left a let tor addressed to her aunt, lu which sho said she was tirod of life and would drown herself. An inquest waa held by Coroner Roonoy this morning and a verdict of sulcido returned. So far tho dead girl's friends have taken no Btepa toward her burial, aud it looks as though her remains would go to Potter's field.

KILLED AT HEMPSTEAD. John J. Laudenbereer Fell Into a lar and Fractured His Skull. Col Philip Laudeuberger moved oonio time ago from Brooklyn to Hempstead, where a handsomo rcBidence bad beon erected for him. A week ago ho rocolved a vIbH from hia father, John J.

LOOKING FOH HIM WITH A UVN. Shipping Cleric Chryaille'a Complaint Against Captain Rtmscll, Thomas Chrystie, a tall, thin, norvoua looking man, with a woll marked Scottiih brogue, visited Justico Walsh's court yesterday morning aa Boon as it was opened for business and Clerk Qulnn to (atue a warrant for the arrostofTur nor Russell, a sea captain, on a charge of having threatened bis life. Mr. Quinn had no authority to issue a warrant, aa ho explained, but ho was willing to take Mr.

Chrystie's complaint if the story warranted any action on the part of the authorities. Thon Mr. Chrystie said ho lived at 10 Garden place and worked at Martin's stores. Ho waa afraid of his life because Kussoll had been going around threatening to kill him on sight. Kus bcII, he oxplainod, waa a drinking man and was half craay, he assured tho olerk, when ho was in his oups.

He had been threatening Chrystie'a life for mouths. A warrant waa issued, and this morning Officer Barian found litissell at the Annox hotel and brought him to court. Tho accused is a tall, handBomo looking man, of middle age, bronzed and tanned with exposure to tbe sun in Southern climes. Ho ploaded not guilty to the charge mad against him, and was held in $300 bail to answer. He told an Eaou reporter that Chrystie was a shipping clerk omployod by a firm which Busaell had served as ships master for years.

Ho characterized his arrest at tho instigation of Chrystio as something very olosoly approaching base ingratitude, and said that he had never intended to harm Chrystio in his life. He did not sechim on tho loth, and therefore oould not have threatened to kill him then. As a matter of faot, ho said Chrystio had caused trouble in hu family. He had always been friendly to Chryatlo and took him with him to Brazil once, assisting him in business thero by aotiug as his interpreter with tho Portuguese Ho exproaaod very great astonishment over bis arreat, particularly on tho complaint of his friend.
