A commodore's commission arrived at the Navy Yard in this morning's mail for Captain F.

M. Jlanisar, commandant of the yard, and that officer is now a ftUl fledged commodore and will be obeyed and respected accordingly. The retirement of Hear Admiral Luce, March 2 made room fir tho promotion of a commodore to the rank of a reir admiral and sent Captain Ramsay, then the senior officer on the list of captains, up a peg. His nomination as commodore was sent the Senate and confirmed several weeks ago. but for some reason or other the forwarding of his commission was delayed.

Ho has been congratulated by every officer on the station upon his promotion and has received letters and telegrams from numerous others, but until noon today the captain was not, strictly speaking, a commodore. At l'i o'clock tho ceremony which properly signalized the assumption of command of the station by a flag officer was consummated, when a little blue Hag was run up on the flag polo of the receiving ship Vermont and eleen guns on the ordnance dock boomed forth a commodore's salute.

Manaf. ictiiriiifr Policemen at a Very Rapid Hate. Police Commissioner Bell to day continued his work of appointing new patrolmen to fill tiie thirty seven vacancies in the department. At noon, with the appointment. In: made yesterday of nineteen men, In had co nplet' 'd this task by the.

selection of eighteen more names fncu the new eligible list. These men were all on hand at the Commissioner's office, aud received ilieir shield and necessary papers, and wore taken before Inspector Mackell.tr for preliminary in struction as to their duties. They then made the aCQtiainfaiioe, in a body, of Superintendent Campbell. Following are the new patrolman appointed to day: Emil A. Kruse, William H.

Barrow, William E. MeSorley, Peter Rudden, Thomas J. Manning, Willi on I. D'. Ncoll, William J.

Coghlin, George W. Mohrinann, William J. Tierney, Edward Markstahler, John Vogelsang. Luko Maxwell and John M. Lanuigan.

This list exceeds by three names tho number required for tho vacancies. The three additional names, with ninety seven others to be selected by tlie Commissioner forthwith, will, for tho present, bo placed ou the rolls of the already organized precincts, and will then go through with the practice work in patrol duty ami attend the school of instruction. When the Board of Aldermen has selected the house for the two new precincts and the arrangements have all been made for their occupation those 100 men will be ready to form the new companies of patrolmen. Jt will probably be several days before the Commissioner will be ready to appoint the higher grade officers for the two new precincts, and to fill the vacancies among the sergeants and roundsmen of tho old precincts. RANTHEM DOWN Two Thieves Captured in an Uptown Ward.

Policemen Compelled Freely Use Their Clubs Justice Kenna's Memory May Prove to be Anuoyin? to the Aecnscd. Shortly after 5 o'clock last evening two well dressed youths dashed along Macon street from Tompking avenue, followed by a dozen men and boys shouting' "Stop, thief!" Just as the fugitives reached Throop avenue Roundsman Knipe. of the Twelfth Precinct, turned the corner and took in the situation. Tho two young men dashed to one side, and, crossing the street, ran along Throop avenue. Fleet footed Knipe gave chase, and, before a block had been psssed, over one of the fugitives found himself in the roundsman's clutches.

A hard fight ensued, but a liberal application of the locust brought the prisoner to terms. In the meantime the captive's companion had kept on running along Throop avenue. Policeman Patrick Tracy, of the Ninth Precinct, was walking along that thoroughfare when tho i'n jitivc hove in sight. As he came within reach Tracy seized him and a desperate fight ensued. The young man drew a revolver and leveled it, but before he could pull the trigger a blow from Tracy's pocket stick sent the weapon llyiug into the street.

Then the light began in earnest and with BUeh desperate energy on tho part of tii fugitive that the officer was compelled to use nis club on the young man's head. He finally succumbed but Tracy made sure of his man by placing the nippers on his wrist. At the Twelfth Precinct Police Station the prisoners deseribed themselves as Charles Johnson, aged 20 years, and Henry Clark, aged 1 years, lioth said they lived in Philadelphia. They were dressed in clothing of the latest cut, wore nobby overcoats and sported the latest agony in hats. When searched a number of skeleton keys were found on 10 They had been locked up hut a short time when Thomas Rurkhai'd, of Decatur street, entered the police station and identified the prisoners as two men whom he had seen tampering tlie front door of his residence.

He it was that gave the alarm that eventually led to the arrest of the two thieves. Later on John Bruyn, of 7 Lewis avenue, also identified the prisoners. He said that ou Monday afternoon he left his family in the diningrooni to go upstairs. As he readied the parlor floor two young men came quietly down stairs, and as thoy passed him saluted him by lifting their hats. Rruyn was so surprised that before he could act the two men had passed out, down the stono steps and disappeared.

Bruyn discovered that the thieves had ransacked tho upper floors of his residence ami had carried away $75 worth of jewelry. He positively identified Johnson and Clark as tho two This morning Johnston and Clarke were arraigned before Justice Kenna on charges of burglary. As soon as tho magistrate saw them he recognized their faces. "Doth of you have been here before," he said. "What was your name when you were here before';" pointing to Johnson.

"Johnson is good enough for mo this trip," was the answer, given in a sourly way. "And yours?" to Clark. 'T dont intend to tell," was the answer. "My parents arc highly respectable and I don't care to disgrace their name' Tho prisoners pleaded not guilty to the charges preferred and were held without bail for examination. MARRIED OVER FOIUT YEAItS.

On the Vcrjrc of Seventy a Separation in Asked For. This morning Lawyer Timothy L. Gritting made application before Ju Ige Cullen for the payment by F.lward S. Alulford of alimony and counsel fee in'tho suit for limited divorce begun by Mary E. Mulf'ord against her husband, Edward S.

Mulford. He said that counsel for the defendant had informed him that the application would not be resisted. The court made an order for per week alimony and counsel fee. The singular thing about the case is that the litigau ts have been married over forty years and are upon tho verge of threescore years and ten. They reside at Patohogue.

L. and were married in 18 l. They lived together until the sill of last October. On that day, according to the plaintiff complaint, ho "sat upon her, bruised her and choked her," whereupon she left him and caused his arrest for assault. Ho was convicted and sent to the SulTolk County Jail for ninety days.

She narrated a number of instances of alleged tyrannical and brutal treatment during the past ten years. Beforo that time, she says, fie treated her kindly. She adds that now she is afraid to be in his company, and that it is unsafe for her to livo with him. The couple have five children, all of full age. Tho defendant is said to own 000 of real estate in the Town of Brook haven, L.

I. The plaintiff owns the homestead in which she lives, but has to depend mainly upon her children for support. WHO OWNS THE ENGINE? is it tlie Proprielor of (lie Factory or the tJolder of the Lease? Mr. J. Frederick Andrews, of West Seventy first street, New York, is the owner of a certain factory property at Astoria, L.

I. The plant included a large horse power engine, when, in 1 MSG, he leased the premises for five years to the Fox Changeable Button Company. It appears that the tenants thought it would be more economical if they had a smaller engine, and with Mr. Andrews' consent they took out the big engine and put in a smaller one, the understanding buing, as he claims, that he was to receive a receipted bill for the new engine. The new engine was put in and the old one stored under an adjacent shed.

Subsequently tho Day Button Company proposed to surrender their lease and to move to another location. They want to move the engine put in by their predecessors the lease, claiming they have the right, to do so. Mr. Andrews objected, claiming it belonged to him, aud through his counsel, Billings A Cardoza, began an action to prevent the removal of tho engine. The matter is on trial before Judge Cullen in the Special Term of the Supreme Court to day.

Senator Uawkinn began his war to secure the advancement of bitt vater bill t.i day. His method of procedure is to object to the advancement of nil bills in which Brooklyn arc interested. Ho informed the Senate that Brooklyn had stolen the law through its consolidation act last, year, and Ids constituents demanded that their rights should be restored to them. Ho said he. believed the irookiyn Senators knew nothing of it.

Senator Tierce said the Brooklyn Senators knew all about it, and that it was a necessary act to circiiniveiita lew rapacious property owners who stood in the way of lirooulyn extending its conduit linn till they were paid excessive prices for tin ir land.

Commissioner Piatt's Deiiartmeut Still Invailed by Applicants for Permits The Fifth Avenue Elevated Itoad l.eiieflts South Brooklyn. The activity in building is evinced by tin; business at Commissioner IT.ittV department, continued to day. Commissioner I'latt said that there was, of course, more speculation in Spring than at. other seasons, but ho thought it was a healthy speculation. The building of houses was governed hy the growth of population, and certainly the population of Brooklyn was increasing enormously.

The majority of permits which were now being issued represented good, solid investments. This was particularly true in reference ti bi i. li buildings. Tho tendency to speculation was more in the direction of frame structures, but he did not believe there, was over speculation in the city. Comiutssiouer Piatt spoko of the prospects of tho npbnil ling of South Brooklyn because of the railroad on Fifth avenue.

In anticipation of the railroa I building was contemplated on a very considerable scale there, and many houseH which had been empty were now being occupied. Commissioner l'httt said that the total number of permits issued yesterday, covering nearly all sections of the city, was fifty five. Incidentally he referred to the inspection of bnibl ingB with the view of securing the safety of inmates in ease of lire. He said the work was going on constantly, and he had directed the inspectors to he careful and vigilant about it. Chief F.ngiheer Neviim, of tho Fire Department, eprosed tho opinion to day that the inspection of buildings with regard to their safety in ease of tire might well be transferred to the Fire Department.

Much could be done to increase tho safety of buildings by strictly enforcing existing laws and by compelling the construction of automatic hatchways and the cxti lisiou of tho rope escapes to factories, bulging houses, tonement houses and boarding houses. He had suggested an amendment of tlie law to this effect, and a bill drawn by Mr. Haggerty was now before the Legislature. Mr. Neviim urged the necessity of a thorough enforcement of the law providing for fire escapes.

AI.PI PKIIMITK. Ordinance Attorney Donald F. Ay res was before Juatico Walsh this morning to represent the city in over seventy complaints made by Captain Druhau against residents of the Fifteenth Police Precinct, which includes the Sixth and First Wards. The cause of complaint was for having coal boxes, fruit and news standH on the street, without permit. Nearly all the defendants had Aldermanic permits, when tho cases were called, allowing them them to have their stands mid Ikixos ou the street, and Judge Walsh, upon exam i ing such permit i and finding from the officers that no citizens had complained, dismissed tlie defendants.

TUP. SIIXT TAX KALE. P.ogistrar MoGuire said to day that he had not yet fixed a date for the tale of property for the unpaid taxes, of 1887. Ho was having the lists of property made up and as soon as the catalogue should be printed ho should announce tho day of sale. Meanwhile delinquents have an opportunity to pay up.

In tho hitler part of this month he will sell several hundred remaining parcels for the areaiH of 1 HH'J to 1880 inclusive. NO TANGLED SKEINS FOR I'LATT. He AdviueH Conflicting orcicc Seeker to Appease 'B'Ueir Local Ienler. Spc cial to the Eagle. Washington, D.

April 1 1 Mr. T. C. Piatt's arrival here last night was the signal for many New Yorkers, who have been in hiding here for some time, to come out of their obscurity, and attract much attention by liieir demeanor in the ho'ol corridors. It also had the effect of attracting many of his neighbors from Brooklyn and the interior of the State who are getting here on all the trains from the North.

M. J. Dady, It. W. Fielding, A.

P. Wernbcrg, Albert Daggett and Grand Marshal J. W. Jones are but a small fraction of the local force on hand. They kept Air.

Tlatt busy all this morning listening to claims of rival candidates for neaily every Federal place in the vicinity of New York, but he is understood to have told all comers that he diil not care to take up any tangled skeins now, and advised all conflicting can lidatos to settle their differences with their local 'leaders. At 1 o'clock he wont over to see the President, accompanied by Senator Hiseoeli. Before ho. entered he said to an Eaui.i correspondent that he came hero solely for the purpose of seeing the President and to endeavor to have the important Now York City appointments made as soon us possible He added that he knew nothing about the. appointments, that he came here to find out about them and certainly hoped to lucoeod.

It was learned late this that Mr. Piatt conversation with tlie President was brief and related solely the vacancies at present existing in the offices of apprai. cr an I g. nil appraiser in the Now York cii doms district. Piatt emphasized the desire, of New York merchants ami Republicans that these vacancies lio.nll be filled at once and named the two men who seemed to have the strongest indorsements for the place.

The name of Grand Marshal Jones was not one of them. It is understood that Mr. Piatt confined his recommendations to those two portions because the President intimated at the beginning of the conversation that no vacancy existed yet in tho offices of Surveyor and Naval Officer. THIi SUCCESSION TAX. It rftist be I'aiil on Frederick Murr's Cliaritnhlc r.egueies.

The Into Frederick Herr bequeathed the following legacies to benevolent societies and corporations: Bushwick and East Brooklyn Dispensary, at Myrtle and Lewis avenues, il, 000; Evangelical Home for tho Aged, Fairfax street. fl.OOO; YVartburg Home, Twenty sixth Ward, $1,000: Lutheran Hospital, Twenty sixth Ward, $1,000: Brooklyn Homo for Consumptives, fl.OOO; Orphan Asylum, Mt. Vernon. N. fl.OOO.

The question raised, whether these legacies wen; subject to the collateral inheritance tax, came before Surrogate Abbott, and it became necessary to decide whether the societies were exempt from taxation, as under tho collateral inheritance tax law, passed in 1 8S7, all benevolent or charitable societies exempt from taxation were, not required to pay the tax on legacies bequeathed to them. The Surrogate finds that under recent decisions of the Court, of Appeals there are no charitable institutions which arc exempt from the succession (collateral inheritance) tax except those which are expressly exempt from taxation by their charters, and all of whose property is so. exempt under all circumstances by general law. Tho societies named aro therefore liable and must pay the lax on their legacies. THE CITY OF 1'AltlS AltlilYES.

About bix months ago Wette, in, his wife and busi. ness to mutually care for each oilier, left Brooklyn in company with a woman named F.lla Hein.

It was all the money 1 had in the world, and 1 liave been forced to ro enlist." Wette was seen in the Jail this morning and said he had no statement to make. His wife waa coming over to see him and she would make everything right. He said that his wile had plenty of money.

IH THE WOULD. TRY IT. The Great Barnum Will Bring Them to America. Furvivors of (he (iail siii Hand Wh: Mnisr fried Down the Congo With the Expl er Will Leelurc xt Year The Urave TJIodi Among Them. P.

T. Barnum, curly headed, round aud roses and robust and strong on his pins, marching about the Bridgeport, station like a four year old in a clover field, attracted the attention of an Eaoi.f. reporter on last Tuesday afternoon. When first observed he, was sitting on a bench in the station, surrounded by aid de camps, who handed him messages, to which he immediately wrote replies. After a while this pressure of business ceased and he rose and walked to the platform.

Hall' the people bowed to him, and the other half stared harder than they would have stared at Jumbo. When the train camo along he took pas age for New York. The reporter who was on tho same train sent in his card and folhved it very closely. "There's a gentleman who wants to see you, sir," said the porter to Mr. Barnum.

"Um I How much does he asked Mr. Barnum cheerfully. "Here's his card." "Oh, a newspaper man, Tell him to come in. I always see reporters." The reporter sat down next Mr. Barnum aud from the time the first word was spoken till tho train reached Now York, about an hour and forty minutes, listened to a steady stream of the most interesting conversation he ever heard.

It in clu led gossip and good stories and strange experiences and shrewd observations and unlimited fun. It would be very hard to find as bright and animated a talker among young mon. There was one piece of very interesting news communicated be he great showman "Ever since Stanley plunged into Africa you know I have been in correspondence with him," said Mr. Barnum. "When he first went there aB a Hernia correspondent I had bim promise to keep bis eyes open for things in my lino, just as Livingston did before him.

When he was in this country last I asked him about tho results of his trip from my point of view, but lie said he hail not made much progress. He saw plenty of tilings I wanted in tho center of the Dark Continent, but he could not burden his mon with them. You remember that when be and his little band of eighty men, women and children staggered out on the sea coast they were mere skeletons, having boon live days without food. They had been travelers in an unknown land for over a year, experiencing as severe hardships as ever fell to the lot of human beings, and they had long ago ceased to care for matters which did not involve life and death. When Stanley left mo this last time to plunge in and relieve Emin Bey and his men, he gave me his promise again to try and bring me out some of the mysteries about which the world is so curious.

I hope that ho will keep his promise, but I am not depending on it altogether. 1 have sent a man to the mouth of the Congo, and another to Zanzibar, with orders to spare no expense, and, if necessary, to push into the interior themselves. They aro to get ino specimens of those cannibals whose war drums and arrows greeted Stanley for so many hundreds or miles on his way down the I.ualaba, and of the dwarfs who shoot poisoned arrows, and of all the other interesting savages of whom 'Through the Ibirk Continent" treats. Stanley encountered forty races of Central Africans which are new to the oiviliz world, and it will be my purpose to procure and bring out all that our ethnologists would find it profitable to study. At the top of a very high mountain in the king lorn of the famous Mtosa, near Victoria Nyanza, a tribe of white pontile is said to dwell beyond the snowline.

Stanley believes the story, and my agents have orders to use every possible ell'ort to obtain one or two of these mysterious people. Mtesa says that they live above the snow line, aid that ho once sent a groat army to capture some of them, but after great sufferings his army was driven back to the valleys by the terrific cold. You remember the Hying serpents of Egypt mentioned by Herodotus. Well, do you know that I always thought Ilorodotus was going it a little strong on that story, but Stanley says it is fact. There's a snake about four feet long found in ihe forest, west of Ugainda, that has wings like those of the flying squirrel The natives sny the reptile can spring and loat fifty feet.

Weapons and household utensils of the various Central African tribes, showingthe state of mechanical art among them, will be secured by my agents. All this will take a long time to collect, but yon can tell the American people from me that next season I will exhibit to them something that I have been asked for by hundreds of correspondents. My agents have secured for my show the gallant little band of Zanzibar Arabs who followed Stanley on his awful journey. Tho world is curious to see those people whom Stanley has made famous. Some of the men are as brave fellows as over drew breath.

Cledi iB an ideal character unselfish, tireloso energetic, fearless and faithful. And tho. Arabs who were brave and acted tho part of men deserve the highest credit, for their circumstances were different from those of Stanley. Stanley had only nature and savages to fear, but the Arabs under him confronted suoeranatu ral horrors as well. Tippu Tib and all the Eastern Coast tribes with whom they came in contact told him that on the western shore of Lake Yonganika dwelt ferocious cannibals through whom il was impossible for Stanley and his men to force or buy their way; that beyond them were the demon dwarfs who shot poisoned arrows, numerous and brave and implacable in pursuit; and beyond them forests with underbrush thickets of thorns, through which the expedition could only progress at the rate of a mile a day, while giant serpents and poisonous insects and all sorts of supernatural gjiugs assailed the travelers: and beyond the forest loathsome, sickening and impassible marshes.

Stanley did not believe a great deal of this, of course ho believed nothing of the supernatural part, but his men believed it all. Their bravery must indeed have been great. I will bring C.lodi and his fellows hero next year." STOPPEII O.N THE KTKEET. Uilwartl DraycoCt St. ibt one of the Crowd That Aawanlted CEim.

Sir. (iilili Says If is Pr iposftd to Or One Tlie li mid Havfl Such Projection as WonJd be Afforded by It. Members of the Citizens' Committee seen by an Eaole reporter to day expressed gratification at the probability that Mayor Chimin's Improvement bills, as amended, will become lawn. None of them, however, had anything to iay about the statement of Mr. Franklin Woodruff, published in yesterday's Eaoi.e, concerning Mayor Chapin's letter to Mr.

John Gibb. Even members of th Republican General Committee thought it mattered little whether credit for the amendments was duo more to the Citizens' Committee than to the Republican Legislative Committee, or to the latter rather th in to the first named body. No good purpose could be servetl, they said, by discussing such a question. The. hills are now in Albany, generally indorsed and likely to become law.

and that was all there was of interest to Brooklyn in them, except the proper carrying out of their provisions. Tlie Citizens' Committee, at least as at present organized, will probably go out of existence at an early day. and in place of it will be organized a similar but more, comprehensive body whose duty will be to permanently watch legislatiou affecting Brooklyn improvements and to see that tho money appropriated for such improvements is expended according to the provisions of tho measures authorizing such expenditures. Such a committee is projected and when organized it will probably make it more difficult than it is at present for corporation advertising swindles to find their way to Albany and for frauds in the County Clerk's office to be perpetrated with impunity. Mr.

John Gibb waa seen in his office in New York to day. To the Eaoi.e reporter who called on him he said: I have uo definite idea of what duties such a committee will take to itself, but the formation of such a body has been talked of among the members of the present Citizens' Committee and among citizens throughout the city. There is no reason why the people should not watch other improvement bills and other measures affecting the interests of the city. It is a duty the people owe themselves." "Will the present Citizens' Committee continue in force for such a purpose "No. It is not comprehensive enough," said Mr.

Gibb. What particular possible improvements or measures would be watched by such a committee 1 can't say, of course, just now: but tho work of looking after the peoples interests should not end with the adoption of the present measures for paving the streets." Will such a committee see that the m.mey appropriated by tho Chapin bills is properly expended "That would probably be one of its duties." Mr. continuing, said: "The city's needs are constantly growing, and projected improvements will spring up every year perhaps. For example, there is no good reason why the water extension business shoul 1 not be watched. However, the new Citizens' Committee has only been talked about, and it is impossible to say now what may come out of the suggestions that one be THE GRANT POST RECEPTION 'S'o Tracy and Commissioner Tanner Prominent Tho conrnittce having in chargo the arrangements for the reeeption to be given by U.

Maggie Cassady, a servant, and Bessie Moore, a cook, imployejl at "0" Livingston street, were arrested at the corner of Atlantic avenue and Adelphi street, at o'clock this morning, by Sergeant Metcalf. Patrolman Steifbold and Special Ollh er Meyers.

A pttrol wagon was called and the women were eonveyed'to the First Precinct Station House by Officers Mo ran and McNulty. Here Sergeant Dodge refused to receive the women on tho ground that the charge that they were intoxicated was not s.istainod by their appearance. They were then tak to the. Tenth Precinct and there Sergeant Metcalf insisted on tlie charge made against them and caused them to be returned to the First Precinct Station House where at 4 o'clock this morning they were locked up to await the opening of the court. When tak the prisoners' pen, otf the court room, tin.

elder of the two women, Bessie Moore, proved a noisy prisoner and her loud talk could be heard out in the court room. The two were well dressed. When they appeared before Justice Wal di they pleaded not guilty and complained of their treatment by the officers in being lugged from one precinct to another. The justice adjourned their trial until April 10. After being taken back the prisoners' pen the women concluded they had made a mistake and asked to be allowed to plead guilty.

Bessie Moore was given ten days and the Cassady girl was fined 1 OFFICER I'OLLIARD'S BEREAVEMENT. IHe Buried His Infant Child Vcstcrday aml To day HOisi Wife in Dead. Patrolman Frank II. Fotliard, of the Second Toliee rreeinct, has been singularly unfortunate lately. His wife gave birth to a child, which died shor 'y af leaving its mother very sick.

The fath rat the burial of his baby yesterday and morning reported at the station house, asking for a further extension of leave of absence on account of the critical condition of his wife. Before the arrival of Officer Fol liard, Sergeant Michael McCarthy, who was at the desk, received a telegraphic dispatch stating that Mrs. Folliard was dead, having expired shortly after Mr. Folliard left his residence, Stewart street. Tlie sergeant was humane enough to not apprise the sorrowful patrolman of his further ill fortune, merely stating that he had better go home, as his presence was required there.

The extension of leave of absence was granted and the late wife will be buried alongside of her child, in Cypress Hills Cemetery, iu a few days. The sympathy of the police force in tho Second Precinct is warmly expressed and will be tendered to their brother officer. ACLGI.I0 NOT GUILTY. The Story of (lie Ilookblack Who Killed His lnrliier. The jury in the case of Giovanni Aguglio, who lias been on trial fgjkscvcrnl days the Court of Oyer and Terminetrsew York, to day rendered a verdict of not guilty.

Agugho and Antonio di Napoli were partners in the bootblacking business at Chambers street and Park Row, that city. Aguglio complained that di Napoli did not do his share of the work, sometimes staying away from their stand several days. On their way home on January 8 they had a warm dispute. In Elizabeth street, ftear Houston, di Napoli received a fatal wound from a knife which, according to Aguglio's story, ho had himself drawn. Aguglio is a little fellow, while di Napoli was above medium height.

Two physicians corroborated Aguglio to the extent that his theory of the cutting was borne out by the direction of the stroke, and other witnesses testified as to the facts alleged by him. The charge of murder in the first degree was abandoned by the District Attorney in summing up. Justice Andrews sent the jury out at yesterday afternoon.

Sfc V.reJjpO0 barrela of flo Parsells Made Master Iron Plater at the Navy Yard. Tho and His FrenoN Achieve a VIc'ory 1r is Defeated and tlie Anti Nichols Faction is Depressed.

Sccrctarv of the Navy Tracy this morning appointed Picric Parsells, of the Seventh Ward, master iron plater of the Construction Depart psi tmont at the Navy Yard. The news came to Brooklyn in a private dispatch, addressed to a friend of Congressman William Copeland 'u laee. 'Die latter is now in Washington on private business, but his friends think that his visit had something to do with Parsells' appointment. Whether it did or not, one. thing is certain the selection of tlie Seventh Ward man is a victory for Mr.

Wallace and ids friends John A.Nichols and E. Ii, P.artlett. Not many days alter tho election Messrs. William II. Board, Jesse Johnson and Clarence A.

Harrow, of the Twentieth Ward, announced their intention of making Arthur Boyle the next mi lor iron plater at the Navy Yard. Boyle was taken up by the Johnson Bear 1 faction, and in order to demonstrate their power in the Twentieth Ward they determined to put him through. Boyle was also backed by Michael J. Dady.e Aldorman David Stewart and olhers. The.

anti Parsells party made several trips to Washington on behalf of their man. They appealed to Secretary Tracy, cx Sona tor Thomas C. Piatt, and other prominent officials. They resorted lo every political device to get Boyle in, even going so far as to give currency to a story that Parsells actively opposed General 'Tracy when tho latter ran for District Attorney. The cry was that hey were working not so much to make Boyle ma tor iron plater, but for control of the Twentieth Ward, and to show Congressman Wallace and his friends that they wore the stronger.

Now that the battle has boon fought, in the Twentieth and Seventh Wards to day tiic Boyle people are unhappy. Republicans generally are pleased with the appointment ol' Mr. Parsells. They believe that he must be a good workman and an honest man, or he would not have been recommended for the placo by the gentlemen who have supported him. Mr.

Par sells is one of the very best mechanics that ever swung a hammer for Undo Sam, and, in the opinion of Chief Construe! or Hoover and others, he is the best man that could have been selected for the place. There has been considerable talk among local since tho meeting of tho General Committee on Monday night last over the action taken by the Twenty third Ward delegates on the ipie. ition of the adoption of the report of the Executive Committee. It caused much surpriso that the members of the committee from the Tn i av.iiiii', 1 not vote, as they are in the habit of doing. No one supposed that there would be any opposition 10 me aiiopuuii the report, and there was no preliminary consultation among the delegates.

The vote stood as I follows: Aye, Daniel W. Northnp and Bovilo Wells: no, David A. Baldwin, Olm B. l.ockwooil, Henry A. Smith and Hidgcwood Phillips.

There seems to ho a good deal of discontent in the Twcijt.v liflh Ward among the Republicans, and to day it was reported that a large number of the members of the waVl association desired a re eurolliiv n'. and that a number of petitions to the Genera! Committee to that elV et aro being circulated. It looks very much as if Granville W. Harmaii would have his hands full before many days. The reason a new enrollment is demanded is because the association has no roll book, the last one in use having been stolen.

Changes AhiiohiicuU a Special to the Eagle Washington, D. April 1 1.

HE IS NOW COLD And Mattie is Angry at Her Friend's Neglect. Patrolman Colohan Finds that tho Pedestrian Exercise He Gets on His Beat Is Full of Excitement and Danger.

Patrolman James F. Colohan, of the Fifteenth Precinct, has been deriving a good deal of excitement from hie boat of late. The stimulating cause thereof is neither burglars nor bad boys, but a tall, plump, well dressed, good looking blonde woman who has been devoting her time to an earnest and cyclonic, effort to keep alive in the handsome officer's breast the tender feelings of bygone days. She has converted herself into a regular whirlwind of female indignation and thirst for revenge, and alio has kept the storm center so constantly ou the move that Colohan is been constrained todoso ne mighty lively hustling to keep out of the path of the disturbance. Two days ago the storm center went through Hicks street on a dead rush, Colohan a short distance in advance, with every sail spread and the deck cleared of everything that would retard speed.

By a skilful tack he reached a safe harbor. lint what bad happened recently ins't a circumstance to what occurred about five weeks ago when Colohan and the tall, plump woman broke up what tho neighbors were pleased to call their housekeeping in the basementof 801 Hicks street, of which more presently. Colohan went on the force in January, 1 8S8, ami he figured then, and has a I trays since figured, on the station house oll'n ial record as a married man. It is said ho had previously been a iiolice man. At the time he last joined he was a laborer.

He is stunt, short anil gooil looking. He then lived with the tall woman above referred to at Hicks street. The woman w. ib known as Mattie, and is said to have come from New York. According to the statements of Mrs.

I'arroll and Mrs. McCarthy, who aiso dwell in the basement, the one at ISO! and tho other at Colohan and the woman lived there until less than two months ago, although Colohan stayed away from for a month at a time and was not seen there for a month before Mattie finally broke up housekeeping. The couple had no children. Mattie claimed to Mrs. McCarthy that she and Colohan were as good as married, as much as if a priest had performed the ceremony.

About six mouths ago Colohan was wedded in regular legal fashion to a handsome girl in the neighborhood and he furnished a rear fiat at 100 Henry street and installed him Belf and his bride therein. She is tall and light complcxioncd and does not look to be over 1 8 years of age. Mattie soon heard of Colohan's marriago and hIio raised a big row about it. She and Colohan, according to Mrs. McCarthy, had frequent bitter quarrels and finally, live weeks ago.

says Mrs. McCarthy, they had a plain, old fashioned, rough and tumble light, up anil down and all around the rooms. Mattie claimed to have been roughly handled the scrap, and Colohan looked to have hal a similar experience. Colohan went away without pausing to say goodby, and the landlord set Mattic's trunks out on the street Old Mrs. McCarthy kindly took them into her apartment and Mattie disappeared for a time, saying she was going as a steward on a vessel bound for Savannah.

She must have Uown back on an air line, however, for she was haunting Colohan's beat in a few days with all of the vigor and persistency of which a woman is capable. While she was gone, or rather while she was supposed to be gone, Colahan wont to Mrs. McCarthy's and had a brief fcance with his trunk, extracting therefrom a table cloth, two pairs of uniform trousers and a bundle of "photographs. Matties was not in the bundle. When Mattie appeared mi tlie scene, after her alleged return from Savannah, she voluntarily furnished Colohan a prodigious amount of brain exercise.

She proceeded to introduce him to flic wicked, two horned problem of her wherabouts at a given time. Colohan to find out ten minutes in advance, so as to avoid being there or thereabouts. Colohan is still on gaged on his problem and he has already worked out a groat variety of all dilVorent. Mattie promises to make tilings lively for Colo ban and his bride. An Eaui.k reporter saw Colohan at his' flat to day and introduced the subject.

Colohan looked tired. "Were you ever married to he was not' hi: said. "How long have you been really "About six Tin sergeant on duty at the Fifteenth Precinct Station House said so many tales about Colohan had been lloating around the neighlorhood that he didn't know what was what. Ho said that Colohan had always been on the record as a married man. TO THE GANG, It lit INot Committed to Any Candidate for Mayor.

To lite Editor or the Eaqie: The Central Democratic Association is certainly indebted to the E.uii.k for the many courtesies extended, and. as well, for tho heretofore faithful reports ol its proceedings. In your issue of yesterday there seems to have been a misunderstanding on the part of your reporter as to the position of Ihe association, judging from the report as placing the organization in opposition to Mayor Chapin, which would have been quite the opposite had a previous incident which was recalled at the meeting been borne in mind. Tho Twenty fifth Ward division passed a resolution during last month refusing to indorse the action of the central body in abusing Mayor Chapin. As the association had not in any way abused the Mayor the sense of Ihe members present prevailed in asking an explanation of such action and condemning tho proposition io place tho body in a false position.

So far as I know, and I feel qualified to say, Central Association has not as a body placed itself on record as favoring (or opposing) any Democrat, but is on record as opposed to the methods and purposes of a few self constituted who are using the party for their own individual pecuniary benefit, and vulgarly called the Gang. Kindly give this the prominence which was given your report of yesterday styled "Not for Chapin," and if I may suggest, head the same "Not Committed to Any Candidate" and oblige William P. Fehouson, President Central Democratic Association. Duouklyx, April 11, 1880. SERGEANT REARD0N SUSTAINED, The Kirls Charged Willi Intoxication Were Not Drunk.

The girls Fannie Bermingham and'Mary 31c Keuzie, who were arrested on Tuesday evening by Officer Skivius, in the Seventh rreeinct, on the charge of intoxication, and whom Sergeant lieardon on that evening refused to lock up because they were not intoxicated, were discharged this morning by Justice Naehcr. Not only Sergeant Rcardou, Officers Short, Doyle, Zimmerman and Roilly, of the Fifth Precinct, but Officer Gallagher, of the Seventh Preciuct, who took the girls to the Bedford avenue station, testified positively that the girls were perfectly sober. Sergeant lieardon says that Skivius himself said that he would not swear they were drunk. Tho fact sworn to by witnesses for Skivius that one of the girls had to bo lifted into the patrol wagon was explained by testimony showing that she is an invalid and was sick at the time. The officer endeavored to justify the arrest by the character of the location in which he found the girls, but he was held by their counsol to the specific charge of intoxication, and he failed to make it good.

Though the important question involved in the ease was whether any citizen can be arrosted on a mendacious accusation by a police officer, Justice Naeher's comment on the case was: "Much ado about nothing."
