General Orland Smith Jpntsan JEnil to a Rumor. DO NOT LIKE HIM TO GO AT LAST. 4WCKED GERMS IN MILK, Which Threaten the Health of Many Children. Dr. McLean's Warning: to the Authorities.

Disease Existing Amongr a Herd of Com Belonsingr to allome of the Sisters ot Mercy. A diseaso which is believed by Dr. McLean, tha well known veterinarian, of 14 Nevina street, to be contagious pleuro pneumonia has brokon oul in the herd of cows belonging to tho Sisters of Mercy, 213 Classon avenue, where thero aro 000 children. Dr. McLean stud, to an Eaole reporter this morning: "Yes.

Such is the case. I reported tho faotta the Board of Health in these words: April 10, 1880. Hon. .1 Griiiin, Commissio.wr or Health: Sip Wo beg to report that some of the cows in the herd ot tlie Convent of v. 213 Classou avenue, aro affected with a contagious disease.

We are inclined to believe Hint this has been an infected herd for some time. truly, L. McI.kas Sox. And we further reported the ease to Dr. Devoe, State veterinarian, as follows; April 10, 1889.

Dr. Devoe: Siu Wo bog to draw your attention to the fact that the herd of cattle belonging to the. Convent of Mercy, 2 111 Classon avenue, is alTeeted with contagious pleuro pneumonia. Yours truly, L. McLean 4 Hon.

"Dr. Devoo replied, thanking us for calling attention to tho caso and stating that it would receive immediate attention. Now, I want to call public attention to this and similar cases. Theao cows must have been affected for at least six mouths prior to my being called in, and in ignorance of the existence of the disease the institution was using the milk of one diseased animal. The criminal part of the matter is that the public depends on the Health Department to make periodic inspections of cows and examinations as to their condition.

Now, this herd had not, I have been told, been inspected for a period of six muntlis, at least, prior tn the date of my visit. The law provides amply for such inspections, 60 that the public may bo guarded against the use of diseased milk, by the Board of Health, but tho law seems to bo utterly disregarded, and this is, as far as the public is concerned, a deplorable state of affairs. The only way that theao cases can be detected is by periodic examinations by a man capable of diagnosing the disoaHc. During tho past year the State Department has destroyed over three thousand cows on Long Island, an I yet there is not, I believe, a case on record where the use of their milk has been prohibited. Now, the most dangerous stage of the disease to public health is when the inexperienced eye cannot detect its existence, because the cows will thou mill; freely.

At a later stage milk is not yielded, and therefore the danger is lessened or entirely removed. At the period when the animals mill; freely an expert can detect in their pathological condition the existence of the disease. Now, ordinary diseases arc communicable liy itiovtitafinu. Tuberculosis' is communicable both by inoculation and ingestion. The gastric juices of the stomach do not destroy the germs of tuberculosis.

Tiiis is a generally conceded fact beyond the pale of controversy, hence, the mill; and llosh of such animals aro a medium for conveying the dreadful disease. It ia needless to say that milk is largely used, especially by children in the uncooked state and is so by physicians. How often will yon hear a gentleman order a 'l ure I used to do it myself, but I do not now. We destroy mad dogs and try to prevent the appearing by removing the cause. Tubci elite's is a thousand times.

worse, yet a doctor will unler the poor consumptive milk, adding in many casus fuel to fire. We do not seek to remove the eaue, but we build hospitals instead. My content urn is that tha lSoar.l of Health lias not Usui the means in their power to combat the spread of tuberculosis bv removing the Dr. linker, at the Hoard of Health, said that Dr. jiJcLoan had not reported the case as one.

ol pleuro pneumonia, but merely as a contagion disease. Had he done so, the affected animals would have been destroyed, liis communication had beeu handed to Inspector Sell, who nodonbl had taken proper precaution as State Officer. About a year ago C.overn Hill had placed thc6 oases under the Bureau of Aiiim.i! industry, and unless iu decidedly contagious cases the Hoard ol Health did uot interfere. As to tlie charge ol non inspection, Hairy Inspector Ale'l'aiumany has been ill for some lime, and Dr. was unable to state whether Ihe herd at the Convent of Moroy had been inspected or not inside the period named by Dr.

McLean. Sec Advortisi'ineiit Of pony and cart in tu day's Eagle. Rockaway Beach Will Lose Its Big Hotel. The lingo Struct urn Sold to Southard Co. in New York This Mornins It Will lie Hazed and the Material Disposed Of as Old Lumber.

The big hotel at Rockaway Boach is doomed. It was sold at auction this morning for tho Bum of Southard of New York, woro the purchasers. By tho terms of tho sale tho building must bo removed inside of a year, and when Mr. Southard was asked what disposition he was going to make of the Btructnre ho said that he would tear it down and disposo of the material as he would do with any old lumber. When Auctioneer Richard V.

Harnett mounted his rostrum in tho New York Real Estate Ex chango an immense crowd of moneyed men and speculators faced him. Among them wero Henry Y. Maxwell, E. R. Reynolds, Counselor W.

J. Kelly and T. H. Ryan, all connected with the Long Island Railroad. Bidding for tho property commenced and ended lively, and it seemed at times as if pandemonium was let loose.

The first bid was 15,000 and the last was tho sum above mentioned. Tho big hotel was erected eight years ago by a company of Western capitalists. They had nearly completed the structure when they collapsed. Another company of Now York men took hold and they were wiped out. Millions of dollars were sunk in the erection and completion of the hotel, and the mechanics who worked upon it were paid during the latter days of erection with scrip, which tho hotel proprietors on the beach took freely for board and lodging.

The latter industrious people disposed of the scrip to Morton, Bliss A and to Drexel and Morgan, all of which was a virtual mortgage on the property. It has been reported that Austin Corbin owned tho ground upon which the hotel stands, but, according to Vice President Maxwell, that ia a mistake. The latter gentleman said to day that the whole property was placed in the hands of President Corbin five or six weeks ago by Morton, Bliss with instructions to dispose of it as he deemed lit. The big hotel will soon disappear forever, but the memories of the lovers and children who roamed round its long porches and played about tho white elephant will live during this generation.

Tho Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe directors are said to havo proxies for about 250,000 shares of stock, and Kidder, Peabody Co. are thought to have about 130,000.

Stockholders holding off in the hope of learning for whom tho votes will bo cast, and somo are anxious to know whether the present directors will decide to meet the July interest. The Inter (State railroad managers yesterday voted to allow the Omaha and Manitoba roads to reduce rates between Nebraska points and Du luth to the same basis as to Chicago. The objection of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy was withdrawn. Dispatches continue to be received at Chicago representing the relations between boiiio of the roads and the employes as greatly strained because of the reduction in working hours. Stocks were quiet but generally strong early this aftornoon aud the movement was general, embracing all the properties on the list After 1 the movement was sluggish, but tho changes were unimportant and the tone was steady for the next hour.

There was such a demand that as many as six other beds in her private hospital have, been occupied at the same time by free hospital patients. They were received from Juno, to April to, 1 8HU, and had the sanio care and attention as had tho private patients.

With the exception of the surgical dressings and medicines, Dr. Jones provided for the entire, e.are, and expense of their treatment, and donated this to tho hospital. The eo of this contribution of Dr. Jones amounted to about $1,500. At this time a houso in Lrxingtou avenue was rented for the hospital, D.

W. McWilhams contributing generously toward it. In tho Spring of 1887 a h)dy paid in advance the full rent of abrowustonehoiise in Madison street for the use of the hospital. During the year much excellent work waB done in the hospital and with the most successful results. In the Spring of 18XK the same lady contributed generously toward purchasing the house in Greene avenue, corner of Sumner, where the woman's department of the hospital is still and is.

accomplishing much good work. Here, in addition to the surgical operations, over 100 laparotomies have been performed for ovarian disease, with most remarkable success. On tho of April. an ovarian tumor was removed, weighing between forty and fifty pounds: on the 17th of April the patient was able to leave the hospital. As the report says, 'By reference to the records it will be seen that there existed in many cases exceptionally Dad conditions and serious comolieations, but the results of the operations performed have been all that could be hoped The report further says 'Some form of antiseptic wound dressing has always been employed.

Operations have been performed at times on patients wdio were poor physical condition. The Woman's Hospital, like all special hospitals, is small. It is similar to the Woman's Hospital of London, under Sir Spencer Wells, and has about the same number ot beds, but on these few beds it has a large number of patients in the courso of a year, for they are soou cured and sent away. The woman's hospital has never been much before the public, but has, nevertheless, received considerable help from the good and benevolent. It has had one fair, at the assembly rooms of the Academy of Music, and the Baulk said of it at the time: "It is doubtful if any entertainment of a benevolent character has a worthier object than the bazar now in progress for tho women and children." This was in the Spring of During the following Fall a concei was given at the residence of Mr.

William J. Prestou, for tho benefit of the hospital. Both were successful. Two parlor entertainments were conducted by Mrs. Mary Lewis, realizing over frJOO.

During last Lent one of the most brilliant affairs of last season was a concert at the residence of Mrs. Joseph Knapp, for the benefit of the Woman's Hospital of Brooklyn. The finest artists were employed and, though the tickets were tr apiece, the elegant music room was filled with the elite of Brooklyn, 'file hospital has some of the best men in Brook lvn among its contributors. Last Winter' by an act of the Legislature the city is to give it every year. The hospital is utilizing this money to the best advantage, but has great need of a large building.

Why, Judge Reynolds, Judge Van Wyek, James Tanner, Howard 31. Smith, of the Bedford Bank, Snmuol Booth arc tho trustees and incorporators. Reporter Just let me understand you. Is each of those you have given mo a trustee and also an incorporator? Mr. Grening Yes: each is a trustee and also an incorporator.

What is the reason of this inquiry? Reporter Well, frankly, it ia alleged that the institution is a private affair supported by public monoy. Mr. Grening Oh, thero isn't a word of truth in that. I have been in the thing from its inception and I would certainly know. Patients come to it from all over.

We publish reports, we have montnly meetings of tlie trustees, we had an elegant concert at Mr. Knapp's house a few weeks ago. The institution is entirely open and above board. Reporter Is this report of 1880 the laBt you have published 1 Mr. Greniug Well, yes.

Reporter How do you know that tho amounts turned over to you as contributions aro 'straight? Mr. Greniug Of course, I have to rely on Dr. M. A. D.

Jones and Dr. C. N. D. Jones for that.

Reporter Have you ever been inside tho hospital Mr. Greniug Often, of course. Reporter How many bed have they Mr. Grening I forget just now. Reporter How do you know their reports of number of patients, their accounts of operations and so forth are correct.

Mr. Grening Of course I havo to take their word for that. I have tho utmost confidence in them. Reporter What financial interest havo you in this matter? Mr. Grening Not a dollar.

Not a singlo dollar. I think the institution is an excellent thing. I believe in alleviating the sufferings of Immauity. TACTS NOT AWHOVED BY THE TRUSTEES. As Pr.

M. A. P. Jon 's says tho above aro "the facts concerning tho nospital as approved by tho Board of Trustees," now for the facts not approved by the trustees, for it is an ugly quality in facts that they will exist whether or not the trustees approve them. I.

The trustees did not authorize Dr. JoneH to make any statement to the Eaole. '2. Only three people have any hand in the management of the Woman's Hospital Paul 0. Grening, Dr.

Mary A. Dixon JoncB and her son. And Paul C. Grening knows nothing except what Pr. Jones tells him.

The other trustees did not know thoy woro trustees until an Eagle reporter told them so a da or two ago. 4. They had been trustees for years and had not heard of it, did not receive any Bivmmous to a meeting, never attended a meetiug, nover did any business for the hospital and had never seen tho hospital. 5. The "trustees knew nothing of Mrs.

Jones except that she called on them to ask for money for her wonderful work. 5. Tho Advisory Board had not tho faintest idea it was an advisory board till the reporter told it so. It never held a meeting, never saw the hospital, never gave any advice, nevor was called on for any advice. (i.

Pr. Jones claimed that the Woman's Hospital was incorporated in 1881. It really was incorporated May 7, 1885, as the county records show. 7. Pr.

M. A. D. Jones was connected with the Woman's Pispensary and Hospital, in Pebevoise place, which was organized in 1881. She has taken its early history and made itthe early history of her own hospital, organized in 1885.

She has taken all the influential people who belonged to the Woman's Pispensary and Hospital and used their names to make it appear that they are interested in her present enterprise. 8. To make that early history complete it is well to remark that because of the trouble they had with Pr. Mary A. Dixon Jones, all the lady managers and five of the lady officers of the dispensary and hospital resignod, and that that institution closed up and sold out to the nervous hospital.

0. So that none of tho early history given by Pr. Jones belongs to her institution, nor arc tho people she mentions hor patrons, nor do they know anything about her hospital, 3 0. Nor does anybody but herself and her son and her nurses know anything about what goes on in her hospital. II.

Under the circumstances ia it any wonder that "no hospital has better statistics than ours." Pr. M. A. P. Jones is quite modcBt to confine the size of tho tumors removed to "betweon forty and fifty pounds." Some people would be removing tumors weighing several hundred pounds if they had such a clear field for the exercise of their imaginations.

They would likewise restore their patients to health immediately instead of waiting for a day or two. Vi. Tho Hospital Saturday and Sunday Association is not one bit sorry for keeping Mrs. Jones' hospital out. Its Committee of Investigation decided unanimously that sho was uuworthy of assistance.

13. The physician who made tho examination on which the report was based was Pr. R. C. MotVat, of Sebermerhoru street.

He has no pangs of regret. I Rev. Charles Cuthbert Hall, secretary of the Hospital Saturday and Sunday Association, ia not at all sorry (as Mrs. Jones claims) that her hospital was excluded from a share of the association's money. 15.

Mr. H. M. Smith is not treasurer and Mrs Jones knows ho is not. He only tilled tho place for two or three mouths to oblige Mr.

Grening. He knows nothing about the Woman's Hospital, never did know anything about it and would not be connected with an institution about which he knows nothing. Thero are plenty of other facts, of which tho trustees would probably not approve, but these will do for to day. Let the reader ponder them, for this Womau'8 Hospital, run by two doctors That Iu Whr J. Howard Hreen's Friends Did Not See 15iin To day.

Claiming that it is in the Rijfht and that the Only Complaint Against It is Made Iu ATr, Richardson's Interest. Special to tho Eagle. Aldanv, N. April 24. The suit brought by the Attorney General at tho instance of the Atlantic Avenue Railroad, to forfeit the charter of tho Broadway Railroad Company in connection with tho fight for the posbcs sion of Central avenue, was set down for trial iu the Supreme Court at Albany on Tuesday.

Jesse Johnson caino up to represent tho prosecution and Thomas S. Moore tho road, with General Wingate as counsel. As Judge Mayham was detained at Scoharie, tho lawyers arranged with him to hear tho case there. Accordingly the argument was heard in the judge's little law office in Schoharie, iu the light of three kerosene lampB, tho judge kindly sitting from 7 until nearly 10 o'clock P. M.

to accommodate the lawyers. The facts and papers had been all previously agreed upon, bo that the matter was argued as a question of law. Mr. Johnson first stated his version of tho facts, and Mr. Moore tho defendant's version.

Mr. Johnson then argued tho legal points) for tho People, and General Wingate replied and stated those of the defense. It appeared the Broadway Railroad Company was organized in 1850 under the general railroad act and a Bpecial statute to build a road through Broadway and certain other Btrcets in the Eastern District, which it did and which is now operating. By an act passed in 1800 it waB provided that "it should be lawful" for that company to build three other lines: F(TBt, through Ross street and Bedford avenue, to Fulton street, whenever Nostrand or Rogers avenue should bo opened and graded to Flatbush avenue. Second, a single track thiongh Johnson and Montrose avenues and Morrell street and a double track through Johnson and CypreBS avenues when they should be opened, graded and paved.

Thihd, whenever White or Bogart street or Central or Knickerbocker avenue should bo opened, graded and paved, to build through these streets. The company was rquired to build those roads by 1801 or "whenever the streets should be opened, graded and paved Ross street, Bedford avenue, Morrell street aud Montrose avenue wero in this condition in 1800. The other streets were not and many of them are not even now. Mr. Johnson contended that the act meant that the company was bound to build at once upon the streets which woro then opened; that it waB also bound to begin upon the other streets from time to time as they were opened in parts; that it had laid tracks in Johnson and Morrell streets and Montrose avenue in 18G1 and taken them up in 1870', which constituted an abandonment; that it had only built in Central avenue to exclude the Atlantic Avenue Railroad Company, and that for these defaults its charter must be forfeited, if not as a whole at least as far as Central avenue was concerned.

General Wingate contended that the act was not obligatory, but permissive a mere option and that the action could not be brought to forfeit the charter for not exercising an option; that the throe lines were distinct; that each formed an entire route, and the company was not bound to build upon either until al the Btrcets composing it wero opened, graded and paved, so that it could build it all, although it had a discretion to build on a part of the streets when any of them were sufficiently opened to make it profitable; that it was excluded from Bedford avenue by a law passed in 1807, and any previous failure to build was waived by an act passed in which expressly recognized the company and granted it the right to build a road in Reid avenue; that the Montrose avenue branch was a loop which was of no value without the use of CypreBS avenue, and that the company had taken up its tracks because it waB found that they would not pay unless extended further, which could not be done until the streets beyond were opened and graded and that this and all other defaults wero waived by tie various laws granting railroads further time to construct their roads; that tho entry upon Central avenue had been made as soou as that street was opened, graded and paved, and tho road would now be in operation if it were not for the legal opposition of the Atlantic avenue railroad; that it was too late after the company had actually exercised its option and begun to build to ask it to forfeit its charter for non use: that this court had a discretion as to whether or not it would grant judgment, and even if the company were wrong (which it was not), ueh discretion should not bo exorcised against it when it was acting in good faith and the attack was made in tho interest of rival corporation. The judge took the papers and stated he would not be able to render a decision until about tho middle of May. CARKOLL TUMBLES FROM TUE BRIDGE. A Drunken Man Who Imitates Brodic's Urcat Feat. Tatrick Carroll, a tough young feller" from Norwalk, lay sick in the Chambers Street Hospital, New York, to day, and was unable to appear in court to answer to tho charge of jumping from the Brooklyn Bridgo last evening, a feat which he accomplished at o'clock, when great crowds of people and strings of vehicles were crossing the structure to Brooklyn.

Carroll fortified himself for his jump by imbibing a number of Steve Brodie's bumpers at the latter'a Bowery saloon yesterday afternoon, but nobody took any stock in his declaration that ho was going to jump from the bridge. Ho got on a truck coming to Brooklyn at 0:20 o'clock, and tho next fact on record about him is that Policeman George Wills who guards tho bridge roadway beyond the New York tower, saw an excited truck driver who told him a man had leaped from the structure. None of tho bridge police saw the act, but many passengers over the bridge became aware 8f it very Boon and watched for Carroll'f reappearance in the river. He was picked up by the tug A. B.

Grubb, several blocks below the bridge dock and landed at the foot of Beekman street, whero Patrolman John McLaughlin, of the New York force, took him in charge, turning him over subsequently to tho bridge polico. Carroll's coat was split up the back. He had on a blue flannel shirt and threadbare jeans. Ho was made comfortable at the Chambers Street Hospital, whero it was found that he had broken no bones and sustained no serious bruises. Carroll refused to say anything about his motive in jumping from tlie bridge after he had recovered fully the use of his facu!" tics.

Ho had previously declared, however, that he was tired of life, and that his real intent was suicide seems to bo borne out by the fact that ho persistently refused to take hold of ropes thrown him from the tug while in the water and had to be dragged aboard.

Deceased was born in New York and succeeded his father, Oliver Porlon, in the oyster business which has made the name famous. After his marriage to Miss Mary Greenfield, a Brooklyn lady, he took up his residence in this city, wdiero ho remained until a year ago, when failing health compelled his retirement from business. He removed to South Norwalk and opened the Dorlon House there. Mr.

Starrs' five head park bill to tho sizo of E. R. Kennedy's three head bill and favorably reported this morning. The Case Agaiutft FoxhaJl Keene Dis 111 i used. Special to the Eagle.

Far Rockaway, N. April 24. There was a big crowd waiting this morning in the saloon wdiero Justice De Mott holds court to listen to the trial of the case of the People vs. Foxhall Kocno, charged with an assault on James H. Murray, the, driver of the Woodsburgh horso car who left him at Cedarhnrst after a polo coutest and compelled him to chase tho car for half a mile to go homo with his friends.

The sentiment of the plain residents has been running very high against Mr. Keene, who makes himself very offensive to laboring people by giving them contemptuous looks whenever they cross his path. Ever Binco his arrest last Sunday Mr. Keene h.is been declaring that ho did not assault the car driver in tho brutal manner set forth by the latter, but merely gave him a slap in the face with his open hand which in the eye of the law was equal to a plea of guilty bnt ho did not appear in court to day to defend the charge. The attempts to buy Murray off failed until last night, when he consented to accept $200 and abandon tho prosecution.

It is presumed he received the money, as to day thore was no appear ance when tho case was called and Justice Po Mott dismissed the complaint. Mr. Keene feels that he has been vindicated. POLICY SHARKS Who Evade the Efforts of the Police. Plain Talk by Commissioner Boll, Inspect or Keillr and Captain Eason Law Breakers Who Ave Known, but Cannot be Conrictnd.

Captain Cambell's statement respecting the number of policy shops that swallow the earnings of the day laborers in tho First Police Precinct, which appeared in yesterday's Eaole, oecasioued no little Burprise and a great deal of comment. As every roander and policeman iu Brooklyn well knows thoy are not confined to that precinct. They are scattered along the East River slopes, in the more elegant quarters farther uptown among the honest, toiling masses in South Brooklyn, in tho crowded districts of Williamsburgh and, in fact, in almost every precinct in the city. They compriso the evils of gambling in its worst form, because they attract ihe pennies of tho needy classes aud drag into tho tempting snares pooplo who nover have money enough to obtain admission to the games conducted on a more elaborate scale. The effect of Graham's admission to an Eaulb reporter lias been to arouse the police, who admit that they can locate the policy shops aud at tho same time confess that they cannot master the evil, although it has not the countenauee of any portion of the community.

Commissioner Bell was aBked what part of his largo army of city police officers he holds directly responsible for the existence of gambling houses ami especially policy shops which are conducted with so little secrecy. He replied: "Every officer is sworn to enforce the law which prohibits gambling aud every officer is supposed to do his duty bo far as he can. The police are constantly busy looking after such places, but they cannot tell the newspapers all they are doing. If they did, tho ends of justice would be thwarted. Wherever a place is suspected, men aro sent to investigate, and a strict watch is placed on the establishment.

If the evidence can be obtained the places aro closed up. The captains of the precincts," continued the Commissioner, as he turned to his desk and began Bign i ig Excise certificates, are directly responsible for any gambling that may be going on in their districts." "Has your attention been especially called to policy Bhops that aro said to be running openly recently?" "As I told you before, thero aro places of that character that are now being watched. In some eases arrests have been made. Nothing can be done, however, until the evidence is "Are. thero any policy shops iu Brooklyn?" was asked of Inspector Reilly, of tho headquarters secret service staff.

YeB, plenty of them. They are scattered all over the city. They aro innumerable, especially in the Eastern Pistrict. I haven't time to sit down and give you a list of them." Why don't you cIobo them up "That is the business of the capfSina of the precincts, who, it stands to reason, ought to regulate such places in their own precincts. Each has detectives at his disposal for that purpose.

I have a force of only eight men, with six available for outside duty. What can I do with those six men They certainly cannot be supposed to cover the whole city. The captains ought to be oapiblo of driving out such places if thoy put a close wateh on them as soon as the places are Biispected." "But suppose a man boldly admits policy is running in his plaoo What then can you do "We can do nothing without evidence. Tho dealers refuse to sell to any other than their regular customers, arid it is impossible to get evidence against them. We know they aro running.

Wo have boon hammering at some of them, but we havo only hearsay evidence." "But is not the class of customers who patronize those places easy to got at for the purpose of using them as "I suppose so." "Then why not use them "1 have no fund to use for the purpose of buying witnesses. You might as well suggest that we buy witnesses against Sunday liquor'sclling. That is going on every Sunday iu violation of the law." "Boos not the character of tho offense justify the means in a case of violation of the law, with the effect that policy has on the masses It might if these people could be relied upon They could be induced to make affidavits, perhaps, but on the stand they will swear contrary. Cases are now ponding in which examination was waived, bail obtained and indictment fol owed and tlie i siuee then have been lost sight of. Such a case was that of Edward Smith, of 13!) High street, who was arrested by two of my men, who was indicted by tho Grand Jury, and since then we have heard nothing of it.

Two other arrests of policy dealers were made at about the same time. They were tried and convicted. Another was that of William Rose, 10 President street, who was arrested twice or three times, once by Petoctivo Daley, of tho Fifteenth Precinct, and again by men from the Central Oilico. He was indicted, and tint was the last ho was heard of. There are others in South Brooklyn, but we cannot locate them other than through hearsay evidence." The eases referred to by Inspector Reilloy are these: Edward Smith, 130 High street, arrested August 2, 1888.

by Petectives Roche and Price, gave bail and was indicted by the Grand Jury. John Hcibold, 287 Gold street, arrested August 1888, by PetectivcH Roche and Mahoiioy, tried and convicted and sentenced by Judge Masses' to six months in the Penitentiary or $3 00 fine: he paid the fine. Michael McFall, 308 Myr tlo avenue, arrested at tho same time, with similar disposition of the case. Captain Eason; of the Second rrecinct, was asked how many policy shops are running in his precinct. He replied: I have no definite knowledge of any upon which I can act." Is thero a place on Prospect street, near Bridge "A suspected place, at 149.

We are watching it and have been for somo time. It, like many others, is closed to all comers; except an especial coterie. There is another at 38 Front street. Only tho day before yesterday Orane and Noonan, two of my detectives, cleaned out the place at 130 High Btreet. Some time.ago the Central office men rousted it, but it has sinco been running in charge of another.

His name is Rogers. We got him and five inmates, paraphernalia and all. He is under bail to the amount of $1,000, and thero aro five affidavits lodged against him. It almost impossible to get these places. I know of ouo captain in this city who put up hiB own money with an old Pohcy playor for tho purpose of catching a den, and that player could not Bince get into a game." HER DAUUIITER FOU.YD HER DEAD.

Tho Determined Suicide of a TLotiff Island Woman Farmer. (Special to the Eagle. Brentwood, L. April 24. A shocking case of suicide occurred here yesterday.

Mrs. Jano Goader, who l'CBided on a small farm north of the village, cut a gaBh in her stomach which severed the intestines and then cut her throat, severing the windpipe. She used a razor. Mrs. Goader arose early in the morning, made the kitchen fire, fed tho stock, milked the cows and turned them out to graze and then went back to bed.

Her daughter Emma and a lady friend who was visiting aroso at 7 o'clock and cooked breakfast, to which Mrs. Goader was called but did not respond. When breakfast was over Miss Goader went upstairs to her mother's room and finding the door locked called loudly to her to get up, but got no reply. The girla burst in the door and found the woman dead. Coroner Bennett held an inquest last night.

Tho woman was probably laboring under temporary aberration of mind, produced by overwork. HOUSES ON THE Tll.VCK. Special to tho Eagle. Port Jefferson, L. April 24.

ALICE A WINNER Miss Allan Gets a Verdict in Her Suit. The Jury Awards Hor $12,500 for In juries Resulting from tho Mistake of ft Surgeon on the State Steamship Line.

Miss Alico M. Allan is a happy young woman this morning, while her lawyer, Mirabeau L. Towub, also feels that sereno professional satisfaction which comes from a handsome victory. The jury in Miss Allan's Buit against the State Steamship Company to day brought in a verdict for 112, 500 for the plaintiff. Tho case was given to the jury late yesterday aftornoon, and they were instructed to bring iu a sealed verdict.

An agreemont was reached about 0 o'clock last evening. Miss Allan claimed to have been poisoned on tho steamer State of Georgia by the doctor giving hor a dose of salts of mercury by mistake for five grains of quinine. Tho dose was administered on the second day of the voyage from Glasgow to Kew York August 27, 1887. Copious salivation was the result. When Bho reached her home in Brooklyn she consulted Dr.

John C. Lester, who declared it a case of acute mercurial poisoning as soon as he came into the room. In this view he was supported by Dr. Alexander C. Skene and by Dr.

George R. Ponder, who wero called into tho ease. It was necess.iry lo remove several teeth and a portion of the upper jaw. The defense attempted to prove that Miss Allan suffered from an alveolar abcess and called Dr. John G.

Johnson as an expert to support that theory. Dr. Johnson testified to examining Miss Allan. He produced a written statement which he had taken down and which he read over to her. Its allegations wero very contradictory to her evidence given on tho witness stand.

The doctor was very emphatic in his belief that the trouble came from an alveolar abeess and was not due to mercurial poisoning. Dr. C. M. Richmond, a New York dentist, gave corroborative testimony.

Mr. Towns' croffi examination of Dr. Johnson was a lively interchange, but the doctor's evidence was not shaken. Dr. John C.

Lester. Miss Allan's physician, was recalled and contradicted Dr. Johnson on certain points in relation to Miss Allan's statement, but the major portion of his evidence iu rebuttal was excluded. There is a very good law point in the ca. which will come up on the motion for a new trial.

It is, whether the steamship company is liable. The action is not for damages for malpractice, on the part of the ship's doctor, but for breach of contract. Iu their prospectus the company itgree to furnish pure drugs free of cost to tli's passengers, and it was claimed thoy did not do this. Evidence wasolYeied to show that the suvgery was in disorder; that the drugs were not classified, but wore mixed up in the racks: that the stock for the voyage came aboard so lute on the evening of the day the ship sailed that the clerk of the apothecary who furnished them aecmipanifd the steamer as far as Greenock, twenty five miies from Glasgow, to put the drugs to rights. The stewardess testifi that she went to the surgery and asked fur quinine, and that the doctor took a drug from a bottle and placing it in a paper gave it to her, and she gave it to Miss Allan.

It is claimed the case is entirely outside the rule that a steamship company is not liable for tin: neglect of a ship's physician; that their responsibility ceases when they accept a man who conies to them duly certified. The evidence of Mr. Herbert Charter, whose wife was injured on the same Bame trip by taking a dose supposed to bo oxalic acid, furnished by the doc tor.inslcad of salts of ammonia, was an important, link in the plaintiff a caso. He testilied that he went personally for the dose and saw the surgery was in disorder. The doctor, whose name was Stephens, has died since the voyage iu question The majority of tho jury on the first ballot were in favor of a verdict for tho full amount claimed, 25,000.

A. at Last Eveuinpr's Session The Old Soldiers Will Say Very Little About the Affair. If ever man was metaphorically and indignantly jumped on by his fellows and told in aetions rather than words that he was unfit to associate with them, that man is Anthony Comstock, the agent of tho Society for tho Suppression of Yico. For years Comstock has been knocking at the doors of society iu New Jersoy, Now York and Brooklyn in the off hours he has taken from expeditions into circles so depraved that the things discovered by him there could not possibly make their owners worse if left with them and only servo when discovered to ueed lessly enlighten innocent minds that such things are in existence It has long been Comstock's ambition to become a Free and Accepted Mason, but tho masons not been free in accepting him. Two week ago Comstock prevailed on Harry W.

Knight, of the Mothodist Book Concern, to propose him for membership in U. S. Graut Post G. A. this city, of which Mr.

Knight is a most populor member and of which Mr. George A. Price, of Balch, Prico is tho present commander. Comstock served in the Seventeenth Connecticut regiment, but of his record an a soldier not much is known in Brooklyn. Nothing much was said of Comstock's proposal for membership at the time, but privately sinco his record has been thorongly canvassed by tho members of Grant Post, and at their meeting in the Johnson Building, in Flat bush avenue, at which nearly two hundred members were in attendance last night, thero was an avalanche of black balls such as no man in any society probably over received.

When spoktin to on the subject this morning Commander Trice was much irritated, and proclaimed that if ho could learn who had given the reporter the information that Comstock had been rejected he would have that member court mar tialed. Major B. R. Corwin, who was presented with a handsome sword by the post last night, tried to profess ignoranco of tho Comstock incident and would not directly admit that Comstock had been rejected. Ho said, however, and this will no doubt astonish many Grand Army men, that ho was in favor of open meetings and saw no Benso in the secrecy that Bin rounds the Bessious of Grand Army poats.

OUT OF BELGIUM Boulanger and His Followers Sail for England. A Gloomy Party of Exiles Takes tlie Steamer at Ostend The Arrival This Aftcruoon at Dover. Brussels, April 24. General Boulanger, Count Pillon and six others of the general's sympathizers, left the city at 7 o'clook this morning for Ostend, where they took tho steamer for England. The party was gloomy and dejected.

Yery few people gathered to see the general off' and there were no cheers given or any enthusiasm manifested by the few who were at the station. The party sailed from Ostend at 0 o'clock. About two hundred people witnessed tho general's departure from Ostend, but no cheers were given here. M. Rochefort has remained at Brussels, but it is reported that ho will be expolled shortly.

Pover, April 24. General Boulanger aud his companions have arrived here after a rough passage across the channel, during which they were quite Beasick. Numerous friends of the Bonlangists met them hero and gave them a cordial welcome to England A police commissary from Calais watchod the party in tho interests of Franco, and will report to the Govorniuent every movo the General makes. The party proceeded to London in a special train put at Boulanger's service by the Southeastern Railway Company. London, April 24.

A crowd of several hundred persons, mostly French, awaited in the Charing Cross Railway Station the arrival of tho train on which General Boulanger traveled from Pover. When the general emerged from the train ho was heartily cheered by tho people inside. Thero was a mixed crowd outside tho station which alternately hooted and cheered him. Although it was announced that M. Rochefort would remain in Brussels, he accompanied General Boulanger and Count Pillon to London.

The crowd outside the station is estimated to havo numbered two thousand persons. They groaned and hissed tho general as well as hooted and cheortd him. The public generally aro apathetic concerning General Boulanger's presence in the city. READY TO MARCH I TUB PARADE. Captain Kirkland Will SleatJ tlc Navy Yard Yard JlutacumeiU Next Tuesday.

The Navy Yard was alive to day with prepara tions for the big naval parade and the military pageant on Tuesday next. The ship carpenters, painters and ordnance hands wero swarming over the ships at the yard, putt inn everything in the trimmest shape possible, polishing the big guns and rigging small boats. The streets of tin; Navy Yard wero filled with battalions of marines and seamen, with leather leggings, canteens and cartridge belts, who were put through aBinart "course of sprouts" in preparation for the big march. Abont two hundred and fifty men from the Chicago and an equal number from the Boston went through dress parade in the open bpnve at the foot of Main street. Tho marines and seamen from the various ships at the yard, with some marines from the Flushing Avenue Barracks, will be the sole naval representatives of the Navy in the parade on the 30th instant, a very small sprinkling, Commodore Ramsay says, in a column of 50,000 men.

The Naval Brigado will be under the command of Captain Kirkland, of the Receiving Ship Vermont, and will number about one thousand seamen and between three aud four hundred marines. This contingent will form on Main street, at tho Navy Yard, in front of the Naval Lyceum Building, at 7 :30 A. M. on Tuesday, and will march along Sands street to the bridge and across the big structure to the rendezvous on lower Broadway. The ships from which the men will come are the Boston, Chicago, Yorktown, Kearsarge, Juniata and Minnesota.

Tho Yorktown has uot yet arrived here, but ia expected every day, as aro also the Brooklyn and the Essex. Orders havo been issued to fit out tho Yorktown with tho utmost diBpateh upon her arrival here. The workmen who will attend to her ordnance equipment will bo obliged to work all day Sun das'. The powder to be used by the war ships for saluting will probably bo furnished them at the yard instead of at Ellis' Island, as has been tho custom. A MISTAKE SOMEWHERE.

Cilcavy and Buchanan Mixed I7p About Their Appointments. Local politicians are busy to day talking about the latest appointments of Secretary of tho Navy Tracy, and it is conceded on all sides that the Twenty second Ward ia in great luck in getting two very importaut places. There seems, however, to be considerable uncertainty in regard to the positions which Gleavy and Buchanan aro to fill. Tho reports from Washington assign William H. Gleavy to tho post of quarterman Bpar maker and John Buchanan to the foromanahip of yard and dock laborers.

The fact of the matter is, Gleavy was an applicant for tho position of master block maker, while Buchanan desired to be master mason. Gleavy knows all about blocks and but littlo about spars, while Buchanan is nothing if not an expert mason. It is thought that a mistake has occurred either in making the appointment or in the transmission of the news from Washington, but one thing is certain, tho Twenty second Ward will get two important places and thoso genial gentlemen, Silas B. Dutcher and Timothy Lester Woodruff aro to bo congratulated. Both Dutcher and Woodruff have exerted themselves in favor of Gleavy and Buchanan, aud the credit for their appointment iB due to their combined efforts.

Tho clean sweep that certain Republicans expected to see at tho Navy Yard ia slow in coming, but it is thought that now that General Tracy has Bottled up tho Seventeenth Ward difficulty by the selection of Andrew N. Childs, that he will put the Woodruff slate through as decided upon by the Special Committee and indorsed by the Kings County Republican Executive Committee. STOLEN SILVERWARE RECOVERED.

At the hous'. of a very wealthy gentleman of the Eastern District a fow weeks ago a put lor concert wan given for the boneiit of the Woman Hospital of Brooklyn. The house is one of the finest hi the city, and its owner is one of tho most liberal and benevolent of Brooklyuites. The place bloomed with rare and costly flowers, and several scores of the wealthiest and most exclusive people of the HeiuhtB and Hill were present. Mayor and Mrs.

Chapin, II. M. Smith, vice president of tho Bedford members of the family of S. V. White, Mr.

and Mrs. Eugene G. Blackford and people of that description. There was nothing slow about that parlor concert. Tho finest singers and instrumentalists that money could get came from New York Signor Del Pnento anions them and tho bamniet which succeeded the concert would have made Lucullua acknowledge that ho was a barbarian.

Smiles wreathed every face, especially after the banquet, and. taken altogether, it was as highly satisfactory a Catherine as ever was collected in tho name of charity. As Hie evening wore on and the guests grew more and more genial their benevolent interest in the institution in whoso name they were assembled constantly augmented, and at last one smiiiDg gentleman thus addressed the host: "Where is this excellent institution situated The host looked puzzled. "I'm sure I don't kuow.fi admitted, "but my wife can tell." So the hostess was called into council. She had been busy telling all about the grand work done by the Woman's Hospital of Brooklyn, but tho question was too much for her.

"I don't know where it is," she said. "I have never been there, but Dr. Jones will know all about it. I will call her over." Dr. Mary A.

Dixon Jones proved to bo a stout, voluble, middle aged lady, with a captivating nmile and a very plausible and insinuating way of talking. entered on the explanation with enthusiasm. The hospital was the most wonderful hospital in the world. It had an extraordinary record of results of treatment. It was not situated at one place, but at three places, and there wore four departments, all doing grand work in the cause of charity.

This sounded very well and most of the people who attended that peculiarly brilliant parlor concert, given at the home of a gentleman who paid all bills and turned all receipts from tickets at 15 each over to Dr. Mary A. Dijon Jones, went home satisfied and quite as wire in regard to the institution they were helping as the host hiniMeif, who did not know where it was situated. After the brilliant parlor concert was over tho earth revolved ns usual and time sped on and a day, now nearly two weeks ago, arrived. On th.it day two letters reached the Kaulk ollieo together.

The first oik! was as follows: To tin'. Editor or Urn lirookitm I'urdon this trespass. Some two years ago you told me vou would gladly allow something in the Eaoi.k for the Woman's Hospital of Brooklyn. The faenllv and Board of Trustees want to report some of the good work of the hospital, as it is right that it should, as many good people and the city help support the hospital. Of course, the Woman's Hospital of Brooklyn, like all special hospitals, is not large, but has done, some most successful surgical work.

No hospital has better statistics. If you will kindly send a reporter to my house morrow at any hour I will give him some facts from the records of the hospital. Will vou please drop mc a line stating the hour. Dr. JI.uiy.

A. Dixon Jones. Brooklyn, April IS, 18SP. The second letter was not quite so favorable to the Woman's Hospital, but its purpose was the same. It wanted the Eioi.k to pay attention to that institution.

Here it is: To tin' Editor or tin' llronKiuu Daily Eanle. I wish vou would make some investigation of the Woman's Hospital of Dr. Mary A. Dixon Jones. I have reason to believe that it is a private institution obtaining public money.

It gets from the city this year and I think that if you looked the thing up you would find it was no't entitled to a cent. M. D. Bnooiii.YN April lssn. Why, of course, that's what the Eaolr in for; certainly it would oblige both correspondents.

As soon as a reporter could be dispatched on the service he went at it. As to whether or not the institution is public or private the readers themselves can judge when they see the result of the investigation. "FACTS AM THE TIUTSI'KIW AU rilOI.MK THEM." The reporter called on Mrs. Jones last Tuesday morning and was introduced to her hou. Charles N.

D. Jones. He is a tall young man with long, black hair and full black heard and dark eyes. He graduated at the Long Island College and the New York College of l'liysiciaus and Surgeons. Home of his classmates, now practicing in this city, say that Charles N.

D. Jones is bright and studious and his published works are looked upon with respect. Dr. Mary A. Dixon Jones was very affable and smiling and voluble, and her scientific son took a back scat on the lounge.

The following conversation occurred: Dr. Mary A. Dixon Jones There is so much good work done at the Woman's Hospital that the trustees think it a good thing to mention it. It is something the public should know, you Isn't By the way, you observe the Woman's Homeopathic Hospital is using our name and has got no business to do it. You needn't Bay I said so, though.

That's the hospital in which all the lady managers got to squabbling recently. Don't write that down. The Woman's Hospital has been in operation eight years. Judge lieynolds attended to the papers of incorporation. The first report was published in 1882, and the secretary's report is by Mrs.

David A. Baldwin. I'll just read you something I have written. It is the facts about this institution as the trustees authorize them. Reporter This, then, is a statement from the trustees Dr.

M. A. D. Jones Not exactly. It is the history of the institution as the trustees understand it (reading): The Woman's Hospital of Brookiyn has been in operation some eight years.

It has had to struggle with many dillieultiea, yet during all this time the medical work has gone on; under every discouraging circumstance the hospital has labored to do the work for which it was organized. The records of the hospital tell of much good work accomplished, of many remarkable surgical operations, of many sick women restored to health and to the activities of life. Many women have been brought to the hospital on beds of sickness helpless and almost in despair; they have been cared for, enred and sent to their homes well and able to attend to their various avocations or look after the work of their households. Many who were feeble and sick, not able to do anything and having no hope for the future arc now, through the help which this hospital gave, strong and healthy women. The hospital was organized in 1S81, judge Reynolds attended to the papers of incorporation.

Mrs. Baldwin, wife of the llev. S. S. Baldwin, D.

was the first corresponding secretary. Her report shows excellent, ability and the pen of a ready writer. Mrs. Baldwin was present at the first meeting called for organization, and assisted greatly bj her advice and counsel. She says in the secretary's report, published in tho Brat report of the hospital: ilury A.

Dixon Joucs, SI. in her extensive first class practice, observing the great and general suffering of women who could command the beat medical skill and surround themselves with every comfort that love and money could supply, was, providentially we think, led to consider how intolerable the sorrows and burdens of the many poor women of the city, large numbers of them toiling from early morn till night to keep the wolf from the door and their little ones from starving, burdoned with the same physical ills, and yet wholly unable to command medical help or one of the many Comforts which do so alleviate the sufferings of their more favored sisters. Dr. Jones tried to secure a bed in the New York Women's Hospital for needy Brooklyn woman in May, but was assured that she conld not bo accommodated until the next October. Cognizant of such facts and impressed by the great necessity for such such a refuge for women in Brooklyn, Dr.

Jones became the leader and most earnest worker in the establishment of the organization, and we most gratefully ackimwh her earuest and self sacrificing labors in the cause. immediately aiier the organization, though there was no endowment and no money in the treasury, yet the Board of Managers opened a free dispensary for women and children. A few months afterward the dispensary was removed to 117 Tillary street. The first day it was opened it was crowded with women and children and almost every day it had a full attendance. Tlie report of the chairman of the House Committee made to the Board of Managers, October, ISH'J, bays: "Into it came God's glorious sunshine, and God's afilicted poor came to be helped, and thus far the brightest page in the history of the dispensary was in this miserable old rookerv, 117 Tillary Beferring to the large attendance that came to this dispensary the corresponding sccreta; says in her report: 'Many most pitiful cases needed hospital accommodation, and it became more and more apparent that such must be provided either by renting or purchasing a suitable building.

The same year a building was purchased, and the Tillary street dispensary was removed to thin building. George I. aenev gave the first fr.oo toward purchasing; Thomas E. I'earsall fixed up the deed, KM thus donated tlOQ. This building was ''repaired and put in excellent condition.

J. Uibb, C. N. Hougland, A. A.

Low, I'. C. Cornell, Aaron Claftlin, Y. White, A. Barnes D.

A. Boody, Dr. Mary A. D. Jones and others made liberal contributions.

Amid all the changes and repairs the Dispensary was attended every day and the hospital patients looked after. The repairs were completed in the Fall of 1883, giving greatly increased facilities for medical work. But noon after this building was lost and the hospital found itself with nothing but its papers of incorporation, and had to seek refuge in the little dispensary which the women physicians had organized in order to meet the wants of the poor in in the Eighth Ward what had formerly been the Tillary street Dispensary. Mrs. 31.

V. l'iiillips cave flO for tho first month's rent of this dis Jiensary; Mrs. Scth Low gave A. A. Low.

Paul C. droning took these sums and generously drew his cheek for the full amount of the first payment. Tims the building in Elect place was purchased. Mr. James Laurie was at this time treasurer of the hospital.

An this house was not suitable for the more serious Rurgical operations, and as this report of 1885 says: "The trustees did not think they were Justified in undergoing the expense of repairing the building lately purchased, and as there were many patients needing hospital care Dr. Jones kindly consented to receive some of the moet urgent cases in (he free bod which sue est, est. ins. 42M 42M 52J4 S2U l'7 17W i'lh jS 58K fiS: 'Mi o' iji (ISM 07 22hi 80 134M 137 130M 137Hi 2HH 28 28 70 tiilM 70 17M 112 1124 112 ldiili 102J4 l6i (iiiw oVi" 07 'J4H Oi'A oVi" ii'ii" 70 04 7(1 80 8U)s 801 6 70)i 7UM 70)s 107 107 107 17 17M 17M i Mi 43" TH 7 VH lOSii 105W 'Jm aiiii mi 01 OOM (il 2256 225 33M 3316 335a 88" 8fi" 8ri" 31M 31H 'I'Jicy Never FJiil to Cure sictt HoP dacUc, Cahteh'b Little Livkii Pii.i.s. orum the Hrst dos, Children Cry for Iilcler' Custoria.

A. P. Jones That is the last report issued, but another is coining out soon. This is a specialty hospital, you know, and reports don't matter so much. What we want to see and what would please tiie trustees and and consulting surgeons you know, is to just have a real nico notice of the good work wc are doing, you know.

Reporter How do patients get to your hospital? Dr. M. A. D. Jones Oh, they just come and apply or sometimes the consulting surgeons send them.

Wo have patients who come to us from all over the country, you know. Reporter What is the total income of your hospital? Pr. C. N. D.

Jones Wo did apply to the Hospi tol Saturday and Sunday Association for assistance which they extend to other hospitals, but unfortunately the members of the Committee of Investigation were all sick except one man, and he was connected with a homeopathic hospital, and to help his own institution he presented an unfavorable report of ours, partly jealousy, you know, and the association accepted his report, not knowing the facts, you know, and Mr. Paul C. Greniug went and complained to Mayor Chapin about it, and the Mayor was going to do Bomethiug. He's a friend of our institution, too, but wo thought it was not worth while. I know that the association regrets the step it took.

It knows that it has treated us unjustly, you know but you're not taking all this down Yon mustn't print that about the association, you know. I wouldn't expose them for the world. I'm only telling you theBO things so as yon will know yourself. Reporter I have a habit of listening to one thing and writing another. Dr.

M. A. P. Jones Oh. I know tho members of the association are sorry.

The Rev. Charles Cuthbert Hall told me so. He was the Secretary, you know. There was an article in the Eagle on the subject of tho injustice of the Hospital Saturday and Sunday Association. I wrote it myself and sent it down.

It did not appear and after waiting for somo days I wrote to Colonel Hester about it. Then it wont in. But I won't say anything more about the matter till you stop writing. Now mind, you give ns a real good notice. Reporter Sure.

MR. (illE.VI.Vn SAVS ALL IS WELL. The reporter journeyed to the office of Paul C. Greniug, Gates avenue. Mr.

waited and Dr. M. A. D. Jones cahie in.

"Why, I didn't kuow you at first? What do you want to see Mr. Grening for Oh, something private, I suppose?" With this greeting the doctor hurried into Mr. Grcning's private office. "Can I como in?" she asked, when she had already got in and settled in a chair. She and Mr.

Grening had ten minutes' conversation in low tones and Mr. Grening came out to the reporter again. The reporter said he would wait till Dr. Jones went away. Mr.

Greuing went into his private office aud talked to Dr. Jones, who came out. Dr. M. A.

P. Jones Mr. Reporter, can't you let mo see what you are going to say about our hospital before it goes in the paper? Reporter We nevor do that kind of thing. Dr. M.

A very strange state of affairs will be disclosed as this story progresses to its conclusion. A UIIOST STORY'S SEQUEL. William Kaiifmaiin, Ileal Kstatc Dealer, Arrested on a Charffo of Theft. Detective Shaughnessy, of the Fourth Precinct, yesterday afternoon arrested William Kaufmann, the real estate dealer whom Mrs. Fanny Silsbee.

of Greene avenue, indirectly connects with tho strange happenings in her residence, as told in yesterday's Eagle. Ho was taken into custody at his home, 80!) Bedford avenue, and this morning was arraigned before Justice Keiina on a charge of Btealing gold watch, which Mrs. Silsbee claims he took from her dressing case during her absence a week ago. He pleaded not guilty, and furnished bail for his appearance at trial. Kaufmann is a handsome man of 42 years, dark hair and black moustache.

Ho is of medium height, well built and dresses in clothes of the latest cut. When approached by an Eaole reporter, he exclaimed indignantly: "This is one of the most outrageous proceedings I ever heard of. I am innocent of this chargo and never knew what it was to be accused of any offense until this complaint was brought against me. I am under a doctor's care and ought to be in bed instead of being at court." "Did you call at Mrs. Silsbee's house on the day she claims you took her watch?" "I was there, certainly, but I took no wateh and saw no watch but my own.

Iliad heard of Mrs. Silsbee as a faith healer, and as I was informed that she could do almost anything in that line I went there to be cured. I sat in the parlor awaiting her rotnrn and during my stay I went upstairs and looked about the houso to pass time. I never wont near the room in which she says she kept her wateh. Finally I tired of waiting and left." Mrs.

Silsbee still adheres to her claim that Kaufmann is responsible for the mysterious disappearance of her timepiece. His trial has been sot down for May 8. Last night a largo crowd of people watched tho Greene avenue houso where the ghost is said to be, but inquirers at the houso wore met with tho statement that the strange noises had stopped. Detective ShaughnesBy aud the other officers, however, havo as yet failed to explain them or to toll why tho flying coal flew. THE WEATHER.
