"Well, the resolutions were not exactly in th( language thoy should have been, I admit Thej were drawn up by Mr. Milliken.

They were intonded to moan that tho liquor traffic was Kiowinu in dis. tricts where the population is already at a still." 'Will yon namo those districts the renortm asked.

To day tho Eagle was in receipt of many letter! from temperance people bearing on Mayor Chapin's reply to the committee that waited upon him yesterday. Here is a sample extract: "Mayoi Chapin asks for facts; what bettor proof doeB ho want than tho complaints of the poor fanners who toil from break of day until dark night only to have their produce stolen from them by drunken bums John Berry, of 708 DrKalb avenuo, Bcntjs to tho Eaole a copy of an open letter ho says ho" haB addressed to Mayor Chapin in which he virtually calls the Mayor a prevaricator and offers to bring him around and show him that nine tenths of tho saloons in Brooklyn are open on Sundays.

The Controversy Concerning the Latter's Rejection by Grant Post Becoming More Personal and Bitter. There is no more doubt that Anthony Com stock's defeat for election as a member of Grant Post, G. A. It. was duo to Joseph W.

Kay than there is that Kay's defeat for electiou as G. A. R. Department Commander was due to Anthony Comstock. Mr.

Comstock is a very indignant man to day. The publication that moro than 20 per cent, of tho members of Grant Post welcomed his application for membership with tho largest number of blackballs procnrablo appears to havo hurt his feelings considerably more than tho evidenco of bo marked a disinclination for his oompany. His vorsion of the whole affair is that Mr. Joseph W. Kay, editor of tho Grand Army Review, and commander of Winchester Post, G.

A. is responsible for tho ill feeling manifested toward him; that he (Comstock) has twice had Kay arrested for running policy shops; that Kay was the New York agent for the sale of Louisiana Lottery tickets, and that by insisting on the law being enforced and the sale forbidden, he Had hurt Kay where ho was very sensitive, and that Kay is now under indictment, and that sufficient evidence to convict him is in his (Comstock's) possession. When asked if it was true that Mr. Kay had been defeated for tho position of Department Commander throngh misrepresentations fur nished by the Society for tho Suppression of Vice, Mr. Comstock referred the reporter to Mr.

Henry E. Simmonds, one of the managers of the Eastern Department of tho American Investment Company of Emmettsburg, Ia. Mr. Simmonds said "I am a Grand Army man, a member of Post 140. When Mr.

Kay's name was mentioned as a candidate for tho post of Department Com mander, knowing that ho was under indictment for misdomeanor, I asked Mr. Comstock about it. The evidenco submitted to me by Mr. Comstock, whom I have known for sixteen years as an up right and honorable gentleman, convinced me that Mr. Kay was not a proper man for the Cr.

A. R. to vote for. I roported what I had learned to my own post, and bcltevo that none of my friends at least voted to place at our head a man likely at any time to be found guilty of a crime and sentenced to the Penitentiary." At a second interview Mr. Comstock said: Ex cept as the agent for tho Society for the Sup pression of Vice, I have no feeling either for or against Mr.

Kay. If the Grant Post, G. A. is run to harbor gamblers and blackball those op posed to such practices, well and good. Respect able men are well out of it, but I do not believe that any Buch Bontlments prevail." Boilor Inspector Powers, a prominent G.

A. man and a member of PoHt 442, in speaking of the case to an Eaole reporter said: I am not surprised at all. I heard plenty of G. A. men talking about it before, and as they all seemed to look upon Comstock as a blackmailer and as such unfit to associato with gentlemen" The inspector was interrupted here by a gentle man wearing the G.

A. 11. button who was present and who said: "I don't think Comstock iB fit to go into tho samo lodge or club with self respecting men, and backed up my opinion seven yeara ago when he was proposed for membership of Hill Grove Lodge, i. and A. M.

His proposition waB not even considered after I had had my ThiB gentleman would give no reason for his antipathy to Mr. Comstock, but said it was nobody's business but his own, and that his reasons satisfied himself. Commander Joseph W. Kay submitted to the following interview this morning: Iteiinrtnr What havo vou to say in regard to Anthony Comstock's published assertion that you wero instrumental in having him blackballed wlien ins name was proposed ior memuersuip in Grant Tost ot this city Mr. Kay In the hrst place 1 am not a mem ber nf that.

Host, and secondlv. men who dig oitfalls and fall into them must try and look for some reason to exnlain their downfall. Comstock was originally proposed for membership in Hill Grovo Lodge, Free and Accepted MasonB, of Brooklyn, and was rejected. A Becona attempt to oecome a Mason resulted in tho samo way for Comstock. My first knowledge of his blackballing by Grant Post was when I saw it in the Eagle.

It had been mentioned to mo that Comstock waB a candidate for membership iu that post, but not by any members of the fraternity and I was not at the meeting of that post on the night the black balling took placo. ltunorter What di vou think was tho caiiBe of his rejection by Grant Post Mr. Kay The fact of the whole matter is that Comstock's namo offends tho nostrils of honest men and that is the reason why lie got the razzle dazzle. The Seventeenth Connecticut Regiment, in which he served for a timo, had a good lighting record, but after ho joined it their services wero not of that character. The other rp.iKnn in mv omnion for his rejection bv Grant Post, was on account of Iub peace, not his war record, ror years i nave neen a red flag in tho eyes of Comsto.ck, because lie linn not been able to down me.

It has been petty persecution after petty persecution during that period. No ouc knows better than Comstock that I have been, sinco publishing tho (fraud Army lie.vino, am president oi tlie water Wnytn of Nrtw York and advertising agent for the Sixth avenue railroad. I was born and brought up in this city, and no man can say that 1 have ever done anything that was snide in its character, unless it could be so considered now in paying any attention to the scoundrelly acts or utterances of Saint Anthony. Personally I have spent over $30,000 in the last five years for the benefit of the veterans of the war and have more for their good than the Haz zlc Dazzle Anthony has for them or anybody else. CAN CUKE CANCER.

ICut a Complication of Erysipelas Proved too Mucu for Him. The suit of Dr. Edwin Reynolds, of 140 Lafay ette avenue, against Samuel Simon, of 497 Fulton street, forto 9 for professional services rendered to tlie defendant's mother, since deceased, was tried this morning before Judge Engle and a jury. The defense was that the physician had not treated the case, cancer, properly. That he had held out a certainty of cure when all hope was over, and that he had guaranteed to cure the patient or receive no pay.

Tho complainant declared that he could cure cancer, and that complication of erysipelas was tho reason why he failed in this instance. A man of conlncting testimony was introduced and the jury is still deliberating. THE HOLIDAY BILL A LAW. Albany, N. April 20.

Sworn to before me this 23rd day of January, 1880. Paul C. Grkni.no, Notary Public. A PECULIAR AFFIDAVIT. The Eagle reporter turned the above sworn statements of the Woman's Hospital over and ex amined them.

Tlio affidavit attached to the last one attracted his attention specially, and ho held it up, remarking: "Isn't that a peculiar affidavit Mr. Smith looked at it for a moment and then said: "Well, now, that is anloversight. Don't say anything about that." So the city was so mighty particular about paying out the moiiey that it didn't even look at tho affidavits. And tho affidavit was no affidavit at all, and the sworn statement was not a sworn statement. Tho city was "bluffed" as completely by the unauthorized uso of the namos of men of inliuenco as private individuals were and as the public was.

The reporter didn't say anything about it, by request, but on Tuesday morning last, while ho was sitting in Mr. Paul C. Grcning's office something happened which brought the matter up again. The clerks in Mr. Grening's office did not know the reporter and one of them said to the ofiiee boy: "I want you to go down to the City Hall and sec the Deputy Controller, Mr.

Smith. Ask him to give you that paper he was talking to mo about. Tell him I will have it fired up and send it back to him." The boy doparted, and it is altogether probable that by this time the affidavit has been fixed up. ROUOU ON MR. ORENINO.

And how is it that Mr. Grening's signature as notary public is on that affidavit Does he usually sign affidavits in blank 7 An Eaole reporter asked a lawyer this morning: "How can tho signature of a notary public get on an affidavit before the signature of tho man who makes the affidavit 7" And tho lawyer answered "Why, that's fraud. Thonotsry should bo impeached and his commission taken away." The following letter arrived at tho Eagle ollico this morning: To the Kill tor unite llrootctun EarIf: My Dkau Silt In your report of last ovening's Eagle you use my name iu connection with the exposure of the Woman's Hospital as the commissioner taking tho acknowledgement and cast rc iloetion on the manner in which tho acknowl edgement was taken and my connection in tlio case. In answer to your statements, "In the first place, William P. Kae is Paul C.

Grening's clerk," this is not ro, as we havo an equal partnership in business, and not emploj and employer. "In the second place, tho incorporators did not appear before him. He sought them out for their signatures." This is not so. I did not go after any of them. Mr.

Groning can answer also that all the gentlemen signed the document without my seeking them out. As to there being queer things about the instrument further than taking acknowledgment, I am lost to know how ou connect the theory Other than this I know nothing of the workings or character of the institution, nor am I acquainted with either Mrs. or Mr. Dr. Jones except by sight.

Will you kindly correct the statements as reflecting upon me and oblige, William P. Kae. Brooklyn, April 20, 1880. Tho writer is sorry that he called Mr. Ilae "Mr.

Grening's Clerk." He asked about Mr. Itae in the County Clerk's ofiiee and was informed that Mr. liao was Mr. Grtuiitig's clerk. Mr.

line fails to explain how ho got the signatures. The writer is informed by the incorporators themselves that they did not go to Mr. ltae to sign the paper. 1'llKSIDKNl' GRENING RESIGNS. Mr.

N. D. Jones. It will be publishod in full tomorrow. Albany Hears About it, Special to the Eagle.

Albany, N. April 20. The expose in yesterday's Eagle of tho bogus Woman's Hospital run by Dr. Mary Dixon Jones and her sou in company backed by the fraudulent use of worthy names, ought to havo tho effect of making Governor Hill kill one of Senator O'Counor's bills which is now pending in the Houbo, if it does not dio there. Last year Mr.

O'Connor passed a bill giving Mrs. Jones' concern of city money out of the tax levy oach year. The bill became a law, but at a timo which preceded the consolidation act. In his bill this year Mr. O'Connor put Mrs.

Jones in tho consolidation act along with the Seney Hospital anrl East Brooklyn Dispensary. In addition he has added 500 for the Lucretia Mott Dispensary, another institution run by a woman doctor.

Tho woman denied the chargo and showed that she has relatives who are willing to take care of her. Tho justice discharged her.

My husband died three months ago, leaving but little means. Two weeks after his doRth this child was born, and what littlo money was in tho house went rapidly.

She Tells Her Husband of Her Acquaintance With Kyrle Bellow anfl Indulges in Uncomplimentary Allusions to Senator Pierce.

Special to tlie Eagle. Cuicaoo, April 20. Just at present the proceedings in the Carter divorco case are largoly dovoted to showing up the facts of Mrs. Carter's stay in New York and Brooklyn, with desultory references to her admirers in theso cities. The testimony this morn ing was in the shape of a lot of letters which passed between husband and wife, Mr.

Carter being occasionally examined on tho subject of tho epistles. In most of these letters Mrs Carter expresses a desiro to return to her husband and bo a faithful wife onco more. Mr. Carter produced a copy of a letter in which he told his wife of his willingness to tako her back and do everything he could for her. Mr.

Carter testified that ho tried to find out from his wife about her relations with Kyrle Bollew but that all she would tell him was that she had once sat with Mr. Belhiw in a box; that he had given her tic lessons, and that ho waB "a real nice gentleman, so he was." Mr. Carter then went on to say that ho had not taxed his wife with un faitltfuluess in this conversation, but. had accused her of being foolish in her relations with other men. The subject of Mrs.

Carter's stay in the insane asylum alter her wild and extravagant life in New York and Europe then came up, and Mr. Carter admitted ho had told Dr. King that he would rather his wife never recovered her reason if she was to return to her old career. In one of her letters read before the jury Mrs. Carter made a sharp fling at Senator Pierce.

Sho says, writing to her husband: "Tho truth and trouble is just this. I am sensitive and foolish because I was ever even seen with such a vile, bad man as that Pierce." Mrs. Carter.it seems, thought sho had been Blighted by not receiving an invitation to a swell party given at Cooperstown, N. by a Mrs. Bowers.

She attributed the supposed snub to the fact that she had been associating with Mr. Picrco. In the letter in which tho above reference was made to the Brooklyn Senator Mrs. Carter goes on to say that it was all a mistake, sho was not snubbed on Pierce's account, but that tho invitation failed to reach her through an error of the hotel clerk. In a prior letter written to her husband Mrs.

Carter has another drive at Senator Pierce. Sin: says: "The real truth is just this: I've been so worried to death by being told by mother that. I'm tallied over about that old nasty man that sometimes I feel as if I just wanted to go out and kill myself." The "old nasty man" was her alleged devoted admirer, the Brooklyn Senator. Mr. Carter testified that Senator Tierce was at the time referred to in Cooperstown.

Louis, April 30. It is now announced that what has for a long time been a series of rumors on the one hand and denials on tho other has trken such a definite shape that it can bo stated truly that all the beer brewers of St. Louis and EaBt St. Louis, excepting the Aheuser Busch Company and W. J.

Lemp, havo practically formod a consolidation of their properties and that thoy will be run under one management. Thore aro eighteen brewericB concerned in tho movement, representing an invest montof aboutf5, 000,000.

The organization is not to oe a trust in any sense, but simply a business plan to im prove the properties and increase the productive power of all. Thero will be no advanco in the price of beer and no shutting down of broweries, but, on the contrary, special efforts will be mado to build up and increase outside shipping trade as muoh as possible.

A Greenhorn's Laughable Mistake Where bj Ho Calls Oat the New York Fire DepartmentPostmen With Queer Hats and Axes. Thomas Connor landed at Castle Garden on Wednesday night, and since thou has been stopping at 117 Washington street, New York. This morning he wrote a letter to his brother in Coun ty Kerry, Ireland. Someone told htm there was a letter box on the corner below. Connor went out but made a mistake iu tho corner.

Instead of putting his letter in tho proper box ho opened fire alarm box No. 13. Tho box is a keyless one, having a small bell on the door which rings when it is opened. The sharp, businesslike whirr of this bell startled Connor somewhat, but "as nothing else happened just then I thought I was Bafo enough," as Connor himself expressed it. Finding no placo to put his letter, Connor pulled down the hook that he saw inside, thinking that would reveal a place for tho letter.

It didn't, of course, and as Connor stood scratching his headand wondering how he conld post the letter, 10 Engine dashed up with clanging gong and screaming whistle. Three or four sections of hose were reeled off the tender. By this timo 0 Engine arrived, with 4 Engine close behind. The firemen crowded around with their hoso all ready. "Well," remarked Connor, "it's a dommcd funny way they have ov takin' yer lethers.

But then this is a quare country, entirely." Trucks 15 and 10 arrived shortly after each other. When Connor saw the men pressing forward with hooks and axes he got scared and ran over on the Battery. There he Btood while tho firemen were searching for tho fire. Some one told Foreman Murray, of Engine 10, that Connor had nulled the box. The foreman asked why ho had done so, when Connor explained that he wanted to post the letter, at the same time displaying it.

He was arrested and taken to tho Tombs Court, where Justico Power discharged him after Foreman Murray had told the story. In addition to tho companies mentioned Con nor called out the water tower and Chiefs Cush man and Purroy, causing a complete blockade of businesB down town in that quarter. Connor is only 22 yeara old aud was frightened half to death over tho affair. Ho told a reporter he thought "those woore very funny postmen, wid big hats an' axes." A DISPUTE BETWEEN PARTNERS TVliiclx RcshKm iu a Suit to Compel Com pliance With a Contract. Filed in tho County Clerk's office is the com plaint of John T.

Bierds against William H. Bierds. The litigants aro partners in the sash and blind business on President street, near Third avenue, under the firm name of William Bierds. The plaintiff alleges that Willam H. Bierds was to convey to him as tenant in common all the real property occupied by the businesB, aud also that he was to convoy to him, by deeds, an undivided half interest in the other real estate, but tho deeds wero not to be recorded except in the case of the death of one or the other of tho parties to the agreement.

This real estate was worth a good deal of money. Tho plainttft says that William H. Bierds refuses to make the convey ances according to contract, or to deposit tho agreement as stipulated. Hence tho suit. Horace Gravc3 appears for the plaintig.

No answer haB yet been filed. William H. Bierds resides at Garden City, and the plaintiff in South Brooklyn. ARRAIGNMENT IN THE SESSIONS. Indicted Pervona Plead to the CUnrfrcs Axrainst Tlicm.

Justico Massoy remanded them for examination on tho 20th inst. The Town of Newtown Against the Undertakers.

Very Stringent Regulations to Gorern the Burial of tho Bead Getting Square for the Befeat of a Bill at Albany. Tho Legislature has refused to pass the bill au thorizing the Town of Newtown to charge a fee ofl for every body interred in tho cemcterios within tho town. The Town Board met yesterday and took action ou the subjeot which will not bo relished by the cemetery corporations or the undertakers. This aotion is in retaliation for the opposition of tho corporations and funeral dt rectors to the Fee bill. The town has boon col lecting the fee for four years and last year tho sum amounted in the aggregate to $38,000 With this money Supervisor Van Nostrand was able to pay the interest on the town bonded debt, and, being ablo to reduce the towu budget in that amount, the tax rate fell from $4 on tho $100 to on tho $100 and tho taxpayers aro very thankful for the relief.

A fact not generally known is that the possessions of the cemetery corporations equal one seventh of the whole area of the towu. The land and improvements are not taxed. The exemption of these thousands of acres increased the people's burdens materially. The ever recurring funeral processions kept the roads in a worn out contV tion and the town's bonded debt of $400,000 arose from tho making of improvements. For these reasons the Town Board concluded to tax the bodies buried at $1 each.

The ordinance was passed by tho Board of Health and was immediately resisted by the undertakers but tho town authorities had tho whip hand in the fight undor its legal power to regulate the burial of human bodies. A rule was made that no interment should be made without a permit, and the undertaker had to travel all the way to Newtown to get it. To do away with this inconvenience the Board of Health opened offices in this city and New York, where permits could be obtained for the feo of $1, and undertakers have been very glad to pay it, as tho expense of the trip to Newtown was equal to tho fee, not to count the loss of time. Nevertheless, the gentlemen who bury the dead reBiHted and dofeatod tho bill legalizing the collection of tho fee, which they always pay under protest. A novel feature of tho contention is that the town insists on the fee in the face of Judge Culleu's decision that it was not a valid charge.

The Town Board at tho meeting yesterday took action which will doubly embarrass the undertakers and mako a great deal of trouble for tho cemetery managers. At all the cemeteries it has been tho custom to reopen old graves and put down other bodies at will. It has been the rule to dig trenches twenty and thirty feet deep and keop them opon until filled with the bodies of the poor. Tho bodies of persons dying from con tagious diseaBe were very often put in these trenches and left exposed for days. The Board of Health.

has resolved, first, that every grave must be filled up immediately a body is placed therein; secondly, that no grave shaU be reopened insido of ten years in which tho body of a person dying from a contagious disease has been buried; thirdly, that no grave bIuiII bo reopened under any circumstances without a permit from the clerk of the Board. It was discovered to day that on yesterday the body of a child was buried in Calvary whoso death resulted from a contagious disease. The body was in a common coffin. It was brought from Staten Island in a coach, in which four persons rode, by an undertaker named George F. BchofTcr.

It was placed in a trench and left uncovered for sixteen hours. Tho Health officer has applied to Police Justice McKenna for a warrant for tho undertaker's arrest. He Bays tho manner of burying this body was a violation of the State law and the town ordinance. JUBILEE MASS. Bishop Loughlin's fetter to Catholic Pastors.

"What its peoplo oppose no Legislature should fasten on Brooklyn." This is the correct conclusion of tho Brooklyn Eagle, and it is unadulterated Democracy. Controlling the looal affairs of the citioB of the Stato at Albany is contrary to common sonse and plain justico. While clamoring for homo rule in Ireland, whioh ought to bo crautod, Americans living in our aities should not lose thiB boom for themselves. The Legislature sIiowb no expertnoes in the management of municipal affaira. ou Press, Admiral Patterson's Mission to America.

The Mournful Event Which Preceded His Home Coming Intercstinff Particulars Concerning the Revolution in Hayti. Admiral Howard M. Tattorson, of the Haytian Navy, arrived in this city last evening, a ic rvnrfor unon him this morning at his home, 500 Lafaj ette avenuo, and asked him if he would tell the Eaole something aoout tuc state of tiffairs iu Hayti and what brought him home so soon. In according the interview Admiral Patterson said: "I don't feel much like talking. I suppose you saw in yesterday's Eaolb the account of the death of my brother law, Edmund A.

lietciium. wbb very fond of him and hia death was a great shock to me, but nothing to what I had to undergo last evening. When he died on April 15 I sent a mounted messenger to Jacmell with a prepaid cable message addressed to tho agent of tho Koyal Mail Stoamship Company to bo forwarded by steamer to Kingston, Jamaica, and thonco cabled to my people. It ought to havo reached its destination iu Brooklyn on the 17th, and tho letter I sent at tho same time should havo been delivered two days later. Neither has arrived up to now, and when poor Eddy's mother and sister, unaware of my inteu teution of visiting them, greeted me with glad surprise and asked, Where is Eddy; is he with you I hud to relate to them the whole sad story.

It was the most painful experience of my life." After expressing his Bincero sjnipathy the reporter requested a short resume of Haytien affairs and how the rebellion was getting on. Admiral Patterson, in response, seated himself comfortably back in his armchair, pointed out a desk all ready for use, invited tho interviewer to make himself at home, and made the following interesting statement: When I arrived at Hayti I found that the war vessels of which I was to take command, had been in constant service for three years without having been docked or repaired in all that time. Their armaments were in splendid condition, but the machinery needen careful overhauling, llie boilers were badly crushed and consequently very little speed could be obtained. At times with all steam on tho boilers would "prime." The bottoms were very foul with seaweed and barnacles, and although by no means defenseless. There was not a vessel iu the licet that did not need overhauling.

Ihere is no dock nearer than St. Thomas' (twenty days journey away), and to send them there at the present time would simply be to raise the blockade from tho port. In a long conversation that I had with President Legitime I suggested that if wo hud one more powerful man of war of good Bpeed we could send our vessels ouo by one to receive the necessary repairs. The new vessel is to be arinod with modern rilled guns ot large calibreand great range; is to boused principally to destroy thn fiH Cnim Havtiaii. Ibis placo is very hard to attack not only from its natural advantages but General Hippolytp has erected about fifty guns, some of which are of great power, on tho promontory and in the harbor.

Outlying tho harbor is a series of coral reefs and the only entrance is directly under the guns of tfort Pleolet. General Hippolyte recognises that Cape llaytian is ine Key iu me irfti'vimmmt the torts and earthworks with about twenty live hundred men and declared the adjacent towns in a oiaiu sincre. His ranks aro being slowly but constantly augmented by means of what is known as tho "preBsgang." Boys strong enough to bear arms and men old enough to be excused are pressed day by day and sent to the forts. It is amusing so consider that this system of shanghaiing ia called recruiting. A Haytien, whom I met at Port an Prince, told me short time ago a gentleman, a schoolmaster at Capo that he saw a body of soldiers marching in hollow square down one of the streets, in their midst was a little crowd of about fifty men and boys who had liccn pressetl anu were ueing mx.au iu tho earthworks.

Some had undoubtedly resisted the attempt on their liberties aud had been beaten and chained, presenting rather a sorry ap iMv fiii.iirl inuuued what they had done and was told ''Nothing; they are volunteers going to the trout "What did General Legitime say about your Bcheme of getting another llesaul tnat lie was negotiating lor uiu p.iu ehase of a ii'reneh man of war, and was expecting a final answer one way or the other by the lir steamer. The steamer arrived ami tho answer was tho negative. The president inen enioroti into my views ami commissioned me to proceed North and inspect a certain powerful yessel and report for further instruction." "Is that ship for sale? Will you make public her name?" "The vessel is for sale, but as nothing has as yet been brought to a focus I would rather say noth uliniit Mm, the United States Government recognized President Legitime the task would have been Bimplilied, but owing to the present neutral attitude of tho United States it is necessary that I proceed in a manner not to Jeopardise the Government uuuer wnieu i serve ui cuumti with the national neutrality laws. I cannot understand why the United States Government has up to the present time not recognized Legitime. England, Prance, Germany, and the other powers have done so, but tor some uugeiable rea unn t.liij ennntrv holds off.

Legitime IS tho regu larly elected president of the island, while Hippolyte is simply a general in revolt. With the recognition of the United States the rebellion could be instantly crushed, because then we could purchase ammunition and stores here. At present these munitions ot war are oi necessity outlined from the other side of the Atlantic, from those who havo sent their roDresentatives to Hayti. Minister Stephen Preston expected t.hnr. flu, ITiiitnrl St.itns wimlrl have sent an otlicial notilicatiou of their recognition ot Legitime by mo when I sailed a month ago.

I cannot sec how it can bo delayed much longer. I am here now ostensibly on a mouth's leave of absence, birt I may return oeiore ino expiration oi unii nine ui 1 may remain longer. I shall remain here uutil my mission iu accomplished." SIX DAYS WITHOUT FOOD. A ln tou, Oltio, lUan'H I.ontr Journey In a Box Car. Policeman Fosdick, of the Seveiitoarth Pre cinct, at 8 o'clock last night in box car of the C.

H. and D. Baiiroad, at Atlantic avenue and Logan street, found a man crying for water. The doors of the ear were sealed but unlocked, and the officer pushod of the doors back slightly and held conversation with the imprisoned man. The latter gave his name as Wright Stoddard and said that he lived in Dayton, 0.

'Last Saturday ho continued, I got into this car with the intention of going aa far as New York City. I had an idea that as the car was loaded with lumber the doors would not he locked or sealed, and I could get out to buy something to eat and drink. I was sadly mis taken and have been locked in ever since without a mouthful to eat or a drop to drink." The officer was in a quandary. He did not ltko to break tho Beal and, instructing tho man to keen quiet for a few minutes longer, hurried to find one of tho train hands. In his search ho met Jloundsman Downey and together they started to release tho man.

When they reached the car they found tho prisoner gone. Tho seal had been broken during Fosdick's absence, but whether by the man himself or by some outsider remains a matter of conjecture.
