THE BBOOKLYN DALLY TUESDAY, JULY 21r 1B91. DELATED TUB U. 8. MAIL. AN ITALIAN FATALIST.

EIGHT IN POSSESSION. BY CARLOADS. GOING UP TOWN WEDS A COUNT. CHAPIN'S RAKE 40'GIOCKEDITM HO AUMFFE'S POOL KOOM. Jndffc Van Wyck Decides That He Cannot Open It.

Judgo Van Wyek of tho city court has decided that Jack McAnliffo, tha pugilist who Is anxious to conduct a room for tho sale of pools on horso races at 355 Fulton Btreet, must provo to tho satisfaction of the court that he ia not ougaged In an illegal business beforo he can open his room. In other words, Mr. McAuliffo must be arrested and go before a police judgo and demonstrate hia innocence in oxactly the same manner as would a man accused of burglary or any othor crime. The full toxt of Judge Van Wyck'a decision is as follows IH havo endeavored to make an exhaustive examination of the reported ckbos of our courts on the subject of this injunction. I have been unable to find that a court of equity has ever interposed its great power of injunction to restrain a party upou whom tho enforcement of the criminal law has been imposed from tosting in the usual manner whether or net a certain act ia a violation of euch law by tho arrest and prosecution of tho actor.

This alone would naturally oause mo to hesitato beforo granting this application. But in Davia vs. American soc, 75 N. 802, our highest court has decided that an eqnitable action cannot bo Bustainod to restrain an officer from arresting an alleged Tiolator of a criminal statute "on the ground that the act complained of waB not a violation of such statute and that plaintiff would suffer groat damage in his business if tho threat was carried into execution." The guilt or innocence of the accused must bo decided iu a common law court by a jury, aud thiB is the right of tho people ai well bb of tho accused. The aggrieved party in such a case must resort to tho usual course of defending himself againBt the charge and has his cause of action for malicious proseoution, provided the parties havs maliciously and without probable cause instigated the criminal pi oceediuca against him.

This would Beem to dispoBO of this motion and render it unnecessary farther to consider whether or not tha acts involved in tho transactions of tho plaintiff's business were in violation of section 351 of tho penal code, than to say that the question is by no means free from doubt. Motion denied with $10 costs. Mo Ccaveu His Head nabf on Top of a Police Signal Box. Tho body of a girl baby was found last nicht on top of the police signal box at the corner of Prospect and Washington Btroets. Beside tho corpso were two notes written in Italian.

The writing was so bad that expert interpreters could only give a oroneral idea of tho contents of the notes. They woro ovidently writton by a vory poor Italian, who said he was friendless in a strange land and had no money to bury tho baby. Ha spoke of tho poverty of his Italian neighbors. who could not help him, and closed one of hw notes with a sarcastic reference to America. 1 he last words in tho other letter, litorally translated, read, "Long livo the association of Italian fatal ists." Tho body was taken to the morgue and Coroner Roonoy will hold an inquost.

Thore are no marks of violence on the corpse and death was probably due to natural causes. DEATH'S DOOR. The Record of a Man Suffering From Morphine Poisoning.

An exciting incident occurred at the oorner of Broadway and Myrtlo avonuo at about 12 o'clock yesterday, in which Lettor Carrior Edwiu Mer Bhoti and Sergeant Kitzer of tho Fourteenth precinct figured as the prominent aetors. The sergeant, evidently in ignorance of the law, essayed to prevent a wagon carrying United States mail from passing through the line of the turnfest possession. The police official dragged tho Uuited States omployo out of his wagon and Undo Sam's man promptly rotallatod by grabbing the sergeant by the throat. Twice tho lettor carrier was ordered undor arreat, but he stoutly insisted on tho right of way for tho mail and fought off the sergeant and two policemen. After dint of hard work and a great deal of wrangling it finally dawned on tho police official that he had exceeded hia duty, and he the mail wagon to pasB.

Letter Carrior Morshpn eaid this morning! "The procession was coming up Broadway on one aido of the street, and on the other side the way was clear. When my wagon reached the lino of the procossion tho bridle of tho horse was grabbed by Sergoant Kitzer, who threw tho animal back on his haunches, breaking harncBfl. I quietly informed tho sergeant that tho wagon contained Uuited States mail, and that no polico officer in tho city had a right to interfere. In roply to this statement Sergeant Kitzer ordered two policemen to place me under arreat. I resisted stoutly, claiming my exemption from arrost wbilo conveying tho mail.

Tho now irato Borgoant Jumped on thoatepof the wagon, and, taking mo by tho throat, attempted to force mo into submission. Atrthis time nearly fifty people were concerned iu tho scramble and there was much jolting aud considerable excitement, many of tho BpectatorB shouting to the policemen to let the mail wagon go ahead. A second timo the sergeant placed me under arrest and again I resisted every attempt made to tako me from the mail wagon. When the tumult had somewhat subsided Sergeant Kitzer ordered mo to go ahead, but I stated that if he dosired to tako the responsibility of going to state prison for delaying the United States mail I would be pleased to drive quiolly to tho station house and bo put undor arrest." The crowd broke out in a cheer for the carrier and he drove throngh tho line. Tho matter will be brought to the attention of Postmaster Collins and probably through him to tho Unitod StateB district attornoy, Jesso Johuson.

If the post office officials decide to push the caso Sergeant Kitzer and the policomen are liable to a long term in prison for delaying the mail. THE TAX RATE. Here's Something Likely Affect It. to A Heavy Addition te tlte Already Lobs; List of Clitirilnb.a and Rolfgioui Organi Zilinm What Prasident ITilsan and Corporation Conniol Jen lis Hare to Say. On June 5, 1800, the governor approved an amendment to section 5 of chapter 51 of tho laws af 1870, whereby it was enacted that buildings owned and occupiod by incorporations for tho promotion of the well being of young men, women or boys, including use as a free school or library, should bo exemot from taxation.

The amendment went into effect at onco, but so far as can be learned it is impojsiblo to oatimato the amount of property in Brooklyn subject to such exemption or as to what effect so broad and far reaching a measure will have. Chapter 518 of tho laws of 1890 contains tho various amendments bearing upon tho subject. It is as follows: An act to amend chapter fifty one of tho laws of eighteen hundred and seventy, ontitled "An act to amend tho act entitled 'An act for the incorporation of benevolent, charitable, scientific and missionary passed Auril twelfth, eighteen hundred and forty eight. Approved by tho Governor June 5, 1800. Passed, three fifths being present.

The People of tho State of Now York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: Section 1. Section one of chapter fit'ty ono of the laws of eighteen hundred and seventy, entitled "An act to amend the act for the incorporation of benovoleut, charitable, scientific and missionary societies, passed April twelfth, eighteen hundred and forty eight," is hereby amended bo as to read as follows: Section 1. Chapter threo hundred and nineteen of the laws of eighteen hundred and forty eight, ontitled "Au Act for tho incorporation of beuevolont, scientific, charitable, and missionary Booieties," bIiuII be doomed to authorize tho incorporation of auy society for tho purposo of establishing and maintaining any educational institution or chapel, or place of Christian worship, or and parsonage, rectory, or official residence of any bishop, pastor or minister of any Christian church or association or any association for the promotion of the well being of young men, womon or bays by the maintenance of free night schools, free lectures or libraries. Sec. 3 Section five of said Chapter fifty ono of the laws of eighteen hundred and seventy, is hereby amended so as to road as follows: Sec.

5. Tho building owned by any association incorporated under either of the aforesaid acts having among ita stated corporate objects tho promotion of tho well being of young mon, women or boys, which building is entirely occupied by Buoh association and in actual ubo by it, for its proper corporate uses only, including use as a free school or library and is not used aa a residence or for general business purposes Bhali together, with, the lot wheroou such building stands, bo exempt from taxation. This act shall apply as well to societies heretofore organized uuder the uforesaid acts, as to those which shall bo hereafter organized. Sec. 3.

ThiB act Bhall tako effect immediately. While religious and church organizations havo heretofore beon exempt from taxation the present act opens to tho samo exemption any assooia tion incorporated under the aciB included in tho chapter given and will necessarily increase the amount of property free of taxation. Whether this will be of sufficient magnitude to so decrease taxable property within the city as to materially increase the tax rate is not yet known. Thero are very many institutions of various kindB within tho city that corns under tho provisions of the chapter, but President Wilson of the board of assessors said this morning that it was impossible to as yet form any intelligent estimate of tho amount so represented. "We are continually in receipt of notices of exemption from taxation from various causes, bnt I don't know anything about this chapter 518.

How it will effect the tax rolls I cannot now state and will not be able to do so until somo tabulated form has been drawn up. Our list of property exempt from taxation haB been increased all along and I do not know how this will effect the list." As long as tho law is in favor of all institutions of religious or charitable character, it is but natural that ita benefits should bo realized on for the reason thoro is but littlo doubt that every advantage possible has beon and will be taken in future. Corporation Counsel Jonks although snowod under by a desk full of papers, found timo in which to answer questions. The act has been in ellect," said he, since June 5, 1 800. It plainly states just what organ izatioiiB are to bo exorapt from taxation.

Th list has been gradually added to from timo to time." "Do you presumo that it will make any difference in the tax was asked. "That ia a question that the board of assessors are better ablo to answer than I am. For my own part Iio not think there will be any appreciable differenco at all. But understand that I speak without any definite knowledge." MIXERS ARHED ITH WINCHESTERS. The iTIoaiattiiiis Aronud Coal Crcclt Filled With Desperate iricii.

HALF A MILLION Sale of the Journeay Interest in the Dry Goods Business. A Trait Company a Administrator ef the EslaU Cloarg $260,000 for th Heir.

Gnlj tn Good Will and Stoek Are Sold. Tbb Estate Keeps tha Atlantic Avonua liaildlnsr. Tho syndicate of capitalists whioh has organized the' Journeay Bnrnham company as successors to Journeay and Buruham in tho dry goods business, in Atlantic avonue, has bought tho interest of the estate ot Honry P. Jonrnoay iu the business for foOO.000. Tho sale was made through tho Kings county trust company, which acted in the capacity of administrator of tho estate.

Mr. Journeay owned a one third intorost iu the business, tho other two thirds being owned by Lyman S. Buruham and Hugh Boyd, respectively. Tho new company is capitalized at tl, 000,000, and accordintr to the partnership which existed in tho old firm tho Journeay estato would havo boon entitled to only one third of this sum. As stated above, it has sold its interest for a sum equal to one half of tho capital stock.

This decs not include tho building iu Atlantic avenue, oxtonding through to Paoiflo street. The old firm owned the building, but the interest of Mr. Buruham and Mr. Boyd has been transferred to the estato of Mr. Journeay, which now holds it.

Tho present corporation will occupy the building until its now store, iu Fiat bush avonue, near Notiuh streot, is completed. President Joseph C. Hendrix of tho trust oom oanysaid this morning that ho was very much satisfied with the sale. It had roalized for tlio estate probably $200,000 more than would have beon roalized if theestaie had been settled iu tho ordinary way, by having the firm go into liquidation. In tho latter event tho business would have to bo stopped aud the goods sold at auction.

This would havo necessitated a groat sacrifice. It was learned by tho reporter that negotiations for the sale of the Journeay interests in the good will aud stock of tho business had been in progress for several months, or ever since tho plan of incorporating a new company was decided upon. The negotiations wero conducted for the new corporation by Mills W. Birse of liuffalo and by the trust company for tho estato. Delay was occasioned by tho reluctance of tho corporation to agree to tho terms which wero iu histed upon by tho representatives ol tho estate.

Tho principal condition of the sale, but one which was insisted upon with great firmness, was that the purchase price, whatever it might be, should be paid iu cash. Tho amount demanded was $500,000. After considerable delay theso terms were ageed upon. The contract fur the transfer was drawn several weeks ago, but the fact that such a contract had been ruade was not made public. Late yesterday afternoon tho aalo was consummated in the office of tho trust company, in the Arbuckla building, Mr.

Barso paying over to President Hendrix cash, the amount demanded. Tho salo was announced this morning. Lyman S. Buruham is tho president of the now corporation and Hugh Boyd iB secretary. They havo taken stock in it equal to their share in the busines8.

Of tho capital Btock 400,000 was placod on tho market, and it has all been sold. DEATH OF JIKS. EDWARD AlV.YAiY, JR. Fn.fl at I lie Oriental Blotvl Brought oil the Fatal Itlncatr. Yesterday morning Mrs.

LUNG FROM LEAHY'S RAFT. Workinfrmnn Who YYn Itcvcuod From DrowHiMg by Hi Foreman. Gcorgo McAvoy, who lives at Bedford avenue and North Sixth street, had a narrow escape from drowning at 5 o'clock last eveuing while working on Liary's big raft in Wlialo creek.

Leary made Whale creek as a snug harbor for his rafts by widouing and deepening a part of Newtown creek. McAvoy ia employed by John D. Walsh olio of a forco whose business it is to take away from the raft 2,000 long and heavy sticks of timber to bo used as piles at the foot of Clymer street by the Nassau gas light company. McAvoy was woridng off logs from tho outer edge of the raft. He released a log and it spraag in such a way as to strike him and hurl him into tho creek far from the crib.

The tide carried him still further away, mid, stunned an he waa by the blow he was unable to mako an effort to save himself. Ho was going down half senseless for tho last time when Jeremiah Malone, foreman of the gang of men, leaped from tho raft to save him. He reached the drowning man easily and caught him, but tho work of bringing him back to tho raft was a difficult and exhaustive one. It was iinaliy accomplished, but the rescuer was almost as disabled when he reached the raft as waa the man he had saved, lioth men after a little rest were ablo to go homo unaided.

CORBIN'S HAND, A Lively Shaking Up of Kail road Interests. Some Has ffill Fall in the Baibt in the Vicinity of CnlYiir's Bepot Coatr in plated Clianso iu the Transportation Trafllc of Lode; Island. It is a Bottled fact that the Culver routo has virtually passed iuto the hands of Austin Corbin, aud that it will very shortly become the Coney Island hrauch of the Loim Island railroad. Tho ierin haro been aurecd upou, and the sicna lureB of the principals in this important transaction will be attached to the papers which shall make the baryain leiral before tho end of the preaent season. When tho Culver road comes into Mr.

Corbin a hands it will become a division of tho Lour Island road, and will, consequently, be undor the direct control of the ofllcials of the Lonz Island eorupauy. This probably means that there will then he no further need for the secretary, treasurer, nuperinteiuleut ud perhaps soma other officials now in the employ of tho CulTor road. Whether or not the transfer will brinir about a aeuoral shaking up and OTerhauliuc of the workina force of the Prospect park and Coney Island railroad remains to be seen. It is reasonable to suppose, however, that a completo chaimo of management, such as will soon occur, will cause the road to bo run on a different baslB than heretofore, no matter how satisfactory the arraug.mouU may havu been to tho public iu tho past. In the cae of the other roads which havo from timo to time passed Into tho hands of the Lone Island company, tho chance of mauase ment generally caused tho retirement of considerable old material, but rarely caused tho introduction of a corroipondins amount uf new.

An exception may, perhaps, be made of the New 1'orK and ltockaway Beach road, formerly tho Woodharen and ltockaway, which passed into tho control of the Long Island road iu 1887. It ia run aa a separto organization, with its own superintendent aud its own vouchers. Its accounts aro kept separately, and it is virtually run as a separate road. But all tho officials of the Lonir Island road are otlieoi of tho ltockaway branch, and the officers of the Now York and lioekawai" road are, there ford, subordinate officials, under the control of tho Lene Island company. With tho other branches, honever, it is different, aud o.

too, will it probably be different with tho Coney Island road. When they becamo divisions ot tho Lone Island system, a number of the offices which were essential wlulo they wero separate aud distinct roads, became unnecessary and were, as a matter of course, dispensed with. As to tho Prospect park and Coney Island road, an official, who is closo to Air. Corbin, Baid this morning: "What chances, if auy, will bo made iu the management or running force of the road is a matter which cannot be docided until after the transfer has been made. It is a subject for consideration at that time and not before.

It must be remembered that the Culver road has not yet passed into the possession of tho Lone Island company. That is a more matter of form, however, as it is understood that an agreement has lieen arrived at covering the lease of purchase of the Culver road by the Long Island company, and that iu timo the transfer will be made." "Will Mr. Culver then sever his connection with the road?" "It is understjod that Mr. Culver aud Mr. Washington both part with their interests in the Culver road when thw transfer is made.

It is expected, however, that they will remain iu the Jiew board aud will aid in the reorganization of the road, as their relations with Mr. Corbiu have always been of a pleasant It is tho plan of tho Long Island company to considerably lessen the running expenses of the Culver road when it becomes a part of the Long Island system in tho siuio way that it has lessened those of the other branches which havo passed into Mr. Corbiu's hands. The increasing suburban traffic makas tho Cuiver a valuable addition to tho system at this time. It, in connection with the Manhattan branch, will afford diroct communication betweon Manhattan Beach and that of the aiiy kuowu as Prospect heights and Mouth Brooklyn.

The official quoted abovo said to day that the arrangement with tho Uuion elevated road, by which passengers aro to be exchanged between that road and the new Atlantic avenue elevated road, will hold good when that road is erected. The Union elevated will not share tho new depot of the Long island company at Flatbush and Atlantic avenues, but the two elevated staiious will be connected and passengers will bo exchanged between the two roads. In the Kaule yesterday President Austin Cor hiii of the Long Island railroad stated that the aunoxatiou of the Culver route would necessitate tho building of a railroad from Miueola to Valley Stream to facilitate the business of the Huston route. There is already a road from Valley Stream to the viliago of Hempstord, which is owned by Henry Hilton of New York. It is not in use.

The Long Island railroad also has a Hue at Hempstead aud the two roads iu that viliago aro not mote than live blocks apart. There is aUo a spur of the Long Island railroad from Hempstead to Mineola through Garden City. Tho road from Valley Btream to Hetupsiead was built by tho old South Side railroad company when Charles Fox was its president, aa au opposition line to tho Long Island railroad, which, at the time, had Oliver Charliek for itB president. After Conrad Poppenhusen Succeeded to the control of the Long Island rail Tiadi the South Side railroad went into a "jeceiver hands and he bjujilit tho controlling interest at auction. The route between Valley Stream aud Hempstead was kept running for a timo aud was not abandoned until a catastrophe occurred which destroyed a number of lives, tho result of a washout during a terrific winter storm.

There was talk during Alexander T. Stewart's time of uniting the Yal ley Stream route and the lino of road which he built and owned from Hunter's Poiut to Garden City, but the connection was never made because Hr. Poppenhu. en took a loase of the Stewart line "and extended it to Babylon before he owned tho South Sido road. It waa tho contention for business at tho samo important points between tho Long Island and South Side companies that drovo both of them into bankruptcy.

Julgo Hiitoti bought tho abandoned Stream road several years ago at auction. Mr. Corbin cared nothing about it that time. Thero was a good deal of speculation as to Mr. Hilton's motive iu iking the purchase of an abandoned railroad which rau through a thinly settled territory for a distance of five miles, but he no doubt had a gcod reasen for his action and he has kept it lucked iu his own mmd.

A new route such as Mr. Corbiu suggests from Valloy Stream to Miueola, would be very expensive because it Nould run through villages aud much im 5roved property, and besides it would meet with a great ui' opposition. Tho linking of the i.u.i at Hempstead would appear much ni feasible and would servo every purpose thai can be thought of in connec lion with the proposed new route. The cross country cut from Valley Stream toMineola would Uivolve a serious lo of timo as a passenger loute, but would a great relief to the freight traffic on the Long Island railroad, which is now )u heavy that it miuires all the company's facilities to handle it. It is believed that the Boston totite will be mainly a freight lino aud that it il! havo an immense business to handle, consequently a cross country routo may be essential to the prompt handling of freight and the insured right ui way of passenger trains over the old lines.

It is reported in local Democratic circles that Edward Murphy, the Troy leader and intimato friend of Governor Hill, has a candidate for the nomination for governor in the person of J. Edward Simmons, ex prosiileut, of the New York Produce exchange. A llronklyn Democrat, speaking of Mr. Simmons, said tnis morning! "Ho was born in Troy and is a Tammany hall Democrat, tie ia a member of th Manhattan club and is known in bimnc's circles of New Y'ork. Mr.

Simmons is a prominent mason. I heard him speak at the cornerstone laying of Ihe Fourteenth regiment armory and he made a good impression. Ho has a great many frionds in tiio national guard." A New York paper this morning prints the statement that Counselor William J. Gay nor waB Interviewed yesterday by 0110 of its reporters. If this story bo correct Mr.

Gaynor was questioned and repliod as followa: "Do you know whether the Faasott committee is coming to Urooklyn this fall "I prefer not to answer that 1" "Were not you requested to act as counsel to it?" "I do not wish to answer that question." "Wili you act for it "I am not disposed to say." "Aro vou and Mr. Zienlor rroinir to isknn a rmOv to Mayor Chipin'a message about the water purchase V' "I decline to say anything ou that subloct." "Have you not been urgud by certain Republicans to do so "I will not say." vo'e for Mayor Chapin if ho is nominated tor governor?" "Yes, I am favor of Mayor Chapin in preference to anyone thus far named for governor. I am a Democrat in politics, and Democratio lawyer is not read out of his party for conducting the case of a Republican client against Demo cratic officials, however high. DemocratB don't dothinis that way. I am not blindod againBt Mayor Chapin booauso the courts dreided against him on a legal question in a case in which I was opposed to him as counsel." Mr.

Gaynor's attention was directed to tho above extract this morning, and he was asked if he had been correctly quoted. Ho replied, courteously but firmly: "I simply refuso to say anything on the subject." There does not seom to bo any well grounded reason for believing that the Fassett investigating committee will visit Brooklyn this fall. Mr. Fassett may bo named for gorornor; on tho other hand it is roported that he may be made chairman of tho Republican state central committee. In either ovant ho will have no time to spend ill investigating Brooklyn Such of the looal Democratic leaders as are in town seem confident that Mayor Chapin will bo nominated for governor.

They hehevu that Gov ernor Hill favors tho candidacy of Mr. Chapin. One of theae hopeful Democrats said to an EaolB reporter: "1 know that Governor Hill h.ii said within tho last fow mouths that he considered Mayor Chapiu ono of tho ablest Democrats in the state and that iu hie (Hill's) opinion he would make au admirable candidato for govornor." Counselor Gaynor's alleged declaration in favor of the mayor's candidacy caused somewhat of a sensation in political circles. Republican politicians profess to believe that tlie counselor haa not been correctly reported; friends of Mayor Chapin, however, who know ilr. Gaynor to ho a good Democrat are confident that ho will support the candidate of his party for governor, no matter who the candidate may be.

Senator Jacobs is iu town and looking in tho bent of health. He declined to discuss tho situation in tho Second senatorial district and said, smilingly; "It is too warm aud too early to discuss politics."

There la a widespread belief iu political oircles that Mr. Enuis has alroady been well rewarded for any servico that ho may have dose his party.

He waa the only Democratic representative from Kings county who appeared beforo tho Assemblj committee on excise and mada an argument in favor of an eqtiitablo excise law. Ho was not afraid to go to the front in tho interest of the German saloon and liquor dealers of his district. Instead of fighting thy of tho proposed new exciso law ho boldly and ably advocated its passago. This fact has not beou lost Bight of by the Germans In his district.

VTSHit 0 How it is Proposed to Bring Gunpowder Into the City. No Local Authnritj for Traiunortlnpr a Pansrerous In Such Larsa QaaBUUoi Egsidenti of the Fourteenth Ward Torror StrickeB. An effort is being made to land a whole carload of gunpowder at the Baltimore and Ohio railroad terminus at the foot of North First street, adjoining the Houston aud Grand street ferries. The car was due yesterday, but for some reason it has ot yet arrived. Thie amount of powder is enough, should a Bpark touch it, to blow the ferry houaea and boats, tho Metropolitan hotel at Grand street and Kent avenue, some large sugar refineries and factories and a number of tono ment houaoa, with all their occupants, oft the face of tho earth.

Many exaggerated rumors relating to this con signment of freight are now being circulated among tho people of the lower part of the Fourteenth ward. People believe powdor is now being lauded, and thoy are momentarily expecting to be sent whirling through spaco. One rumor is thit the powder is now being unloaded from cars the Pennsylvania railroad terminus at the foot of North Fifth street, and that it is being carted on open trucks in bags through the city. An Eaole reporter found that the mysterious bags whioh have caused such fear contain a non explosive chemical, aud that this railroad has Drought no powder to thiB city. In fact none of tho railroads have, but there is a carload of gunpowder at Jersey City which is consigned to Brooklyn by way of tho Baltimore and Ohio road.

Freight oars are lodged on floats and aro brought around tho Battery from Jersey City to Brooklyn, whore they aro pulled off the floats to rail road yards. There are several of these yardB in tho Fourteenth ward. Tho Brooklyn agent for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad has beon trying for soveral days to get a permit to land this car but haa not succeeded. The freight yard of this company is at the edge of a thickly settled tenement district, and aB stated abovo is in closo proximity to two ferries and to many large factories. The agent first wont to tho Fifth precinct police station for hia permit.

Ho was referred to the department of health and by Secretary Baker to the fire department. Chief NevinB said he would look up tho law. Ho did so, aud found that no one had authority to grant Buoh a permit, aB tho city ordinances prohibited the carting or storing of powder in the city in quantities of more than twenty five pounds. This is a cast iron rale and there is no provision for its suspension. Tho ageut was to go back to Chief Nevins yesterday for information.

He did not go, but, instead, waited at hiB office at tho foot of North First Btreot, expecting the car. He told a reporter of the Eaole that he did not know why it had not come, thus intimating that ho, having found that the powdor could not bo landed legally, intended to bring it in anyhow. He Baid further that he did not know who the powder was consigned to or what any person withiu the city limits re quired so much of the dangerous explosive for. According to law, it is the duty of the police to seize and confiscate powder if found in quantities of more than twenty five pounds in the city. Ihis law reads as follows: Gunpowder which Hlmll hp fnnnrl in nnv Ktnl Btorchouso, manufactory or other building in the city, or which maybe found in any eart, wagon or ouicr vouicio, or on hoard any ship, brig or other vossel which shall make fat to or anchor within S00 feet of any nier.

When East New York lyn the Unexcelled fireworks company was forced to movo its plaut from that viliago to Staton Island. Although the law is so strict this company was permitted to continua storing gun powuer at its works for a year alter the annex ation aud until its now factory was finished at Staton Island. Should there be an oxnlosion of eunnowder in the eastorn district and should it bo shown that tnere was more than twenty hve pounds of tho material in hulk tl 1,000. Gunpowder dealers take chances hut uiis is the nrst timo that it has beon proposed to uriug a wuoie carload into tho city.

MOTT'S MARITAL MISERY. The Zi'otiblcK That React ttao Path of a V. M. C. A.

Yoimjr Mail. Judge Yan Wyck, in the city court this morn ing, listened to a story of remarkable marital infelicity. It is the story of a handsome and highly educate! young girl asking the aitl of the court to protect her from the alleged cruelty of a husband. The aggrieved wife is Florence XL. Mott, 22 years of age, and tho husband of whom she complains ia Merritt J.

Mott, a prominent member of tho Y. M. C. A. of this city.

They wero married at tho home of Mrs. 3Iott'a aunt in Jersey City, ou April 3. 1880, and took up, their residence iu Vau Neaa place, New York. There Mott charged his wife with improper conduct with other boarders and, as charged, habitually asked strangers in the house concerning his wife's actions during his absence. From there they moved to 0 Bond street, New York, and had only lived there a few days whoa Mott accused his wife of improper conduct with Robert Denyke, the young son of the boarding mistress.

From Now York they moved to Brooklyn, living at different tiaies at 202j. Schermorhorn Btreot, 14o Lawrence street, 370 State streot and other places. Everywhere Mott was tortured by his suspicious and made his wife's lifo miserable by his accusations. Ou April 21 ho packed up all his wife's clothing and Bent it to her auut iu Jersey City; thou ho took his wifo to her aunt saying: Hero ia whero I took her from aud here is whero I leave her." Mrs. Mott then began an action for a separation aud on the application of her lawyer, General Gates, Judge Van Wyck allowed her $0 a week alimony and $123 counsel feo.

ThiB morning in court with his lawyers, Wilbur it Doveniiy, aud asked that tho order allowing his wifo counsel feo and alimony bo sot aside. He presentod an afiidavit sottiug forth that she had $000 in bank and oarned a good living by giving lessons in French aud In music. He also allegod that be earned only J20 a week and owed $350. As a further reason for Botting the order aside he claimed lhat ho had not been Berved with a summons and complaint in the action, This brought General Gatos to hia feet. The general said that a man was sent to tho Y.

M. C. A. roomB on Fulton Btreet to servo Mott with tho papers. The snbpena server left the papers in front cf? Mott who walked to another part or tho room.

Tho server took the papers and approaching Mott told him what they meant. Then raising MotfB left arm ho placed the papers in his armpit and closed the arm on them leaving them in Mott's possession. Mott took tho papers to the Btreet and threw thorn in tho gutter. Judge Van Wyck ordered Mott to pay his wifo f4 a week alimony and to givo General Gatos $00 counsel foo withiu fifteen days.

Tho plaintiff's husband sat beside her, and Androw J. Taylor, tho husband of tho defendant, championed his wife. Things moved smoothly until Mr. Shaw stooped to the witness stand and testified in corroboration of his wifo that he had carried $10 of tho loaned money to Mrs. Taylor.

Ho had no sooner made this statement than Mr. Taylor arose oxcited. "That man's a liar," he shoutod. Justice Neu rapped for order and directed tho removal of the unruly spectator. Taylor rcftiBed to loavo and struggled against forcible ejectment.

He waa put out and tho witnesses were guarded by the polico when thoy left the court. Patrick S. Ilickey, who hail tostilied in favor Qf tho plaintiff, refused to leavo tho oourt room without an official body guar, and Mr. and Mra. Shaw woro eqaally reluctant.

A report from the Eighteenth precinct polico station, which is in Third avenue, near Thirty sixth street, reached police headquarters about 1 o'clock this morniug.

It stated that at 10 o'clock last night Officer Black of that precinct had found a hat and a coat on tho dock at the foot of Forty ninth Btroet, and that tho hat and coat wero identified by Miss Anna Dowling as belonging to her father, John M.
