Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Davidson left the house and went to visit some relatives in New Ycrk city. She spent the night there and it was not until sent for that she knew of her husband's death.

THE AMERICAN CHESS CHAMPION MAKES A GAME FIGHT. He Has at Least an Even Chance With the Ldndon Master Pillsbury Plays Badly.

Nuremberg, July 24 Yesterday's winners of the fourth round in the chess tournament were Pillsbury, Steinitz. Tschigorin, Tarrasch, Blackburne and Janowski. The adjourned game between AVinawer and Charousek was finished and, in spite of his bad position, Winawer was able to force a draw, after 84 moves, by a very fine play. For to day's fifth round, the pairing No. 1 was drawn, in which the by fell to Maroczy.

The other players faced each other prompt play was the stubborn fight between Lasker and Showalter, which the Kentuckian is fully holding his own. Pillsbury blundered in his game with Blackburne, which makes his position very critical. Albin's fine fight v. ith Charousek and Wal brodt's great battle with Steinitz were all remarkable features of the morning's play. Two games were finished at the 1 o'clock adjournment, when the following summary was bulletined: FIFTH ROUND.

Brooklyn and Jersey City hold in Now York yesterday. The firoposition under consideration was to establish, a central civil service commission in New York city for tho whole district instoad of continuing tho present local commissions in each city.

At present iu this city thoroare separate civil service boards for the internal revenue service and the postal dopartmont. If tho new plan goes into effect, one commission will conduot all of tho examinations.

This will result in relieving local officers of a good deal of work which has to bo done besido the regular work of the various departments. MORE UNSAFE TENEMENTS.

The Situation in New York Brownsville Quiet. There was a lively time In the tailor shop at 167 Gwinnett street at 10 o'clock this morning, when Isaac Alszenietzki, 23 years old, of 102 Cc ok street, accompanied by another man, entered the shop.

Alszenietzki is one of the striking tailors and he has been loitering about Isaac Newman's shop at the Gwinnett street address ever since the strike was called. On several occasions, it is alleged, he has tried to persuade the six men employed by Newman to leave their places. It was a little before 10 o'clock this forenoon when Alszenietzki and an unknown man rushed into the shop and ordered all the hands to quit work. None of the employes seemed inclined to comply with the command and they kept steadily at work. Newman told Alszenietzki to leave the shop or he would call a policeman and have him put out.

The strik ers refused to go and Newman went out to look for an officer. The instant that Newman left the shop Alszenietzki and his companion, it Is claimed, took several hot irons from the fire and began to burn holes in the clothing that lay about the place. Then, it is alleged. they smashed a sewing machine, which Newman says he valued at $65. There was a great deal of excitement in the shop by tho time Newman got back with Policeman Daniel Donahue of the Sixteenth precinct and it looked very much as if the striikers would get the best of the trouble.

Donahue drew his club and rushed through the crowd and into the place. One of th strikers jumped Lhrough a window when he saw the officer and escaped by way of a rear yard. Alszenietzki remained In the shop and, ai'though he was inclined to fight, he was soon overpowered by Donahue and taken to the Lee avenue police station. Alszenietzki was arraigned before Justice Schnitzspan, In the Lee avenue court, this afternoon. He pleaded not guilty to a charge of malicious mischief and in default of bail was committed to jail.

While In court it was discovered that one of the prisoner's fingers was badly Ulcerated. Alszenietzki, when questioned, said his finger was injured during the time he was in the tailor shop. The police of the Sixteenth precinct are trying to find the striker who escaped and who, it is alleged, was chiefly responsible for the row in Newman's shop. The six tailors in Newman's place are still at work at 1 o'clock this afternoon There was no change in the situation among the striking tailors in the eastern dis trict this forenoon. The crowd of idle opera tives around the headquarters of the men at 41 Seigel street was as great as yesterday.

The tailors are confident of winning. At a mass meeting held at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon it was unanimously agreed to ask Joseph Solotovsky, who wa3 present, to again assume the position of leader. Mr. Solotovsky consented, and at once proceeded to re organize the strikers. In place of all acting in a united body as heretofore, the men will now act In branches, one of which will represent operatives, another basters, a third finishers and a fourth pressors or bushelmen.

Leader Solotovsky also expressed his Intention of reorganizing all the shops, by taking the names of working people engaged in the four branches and a committee of ten was appointed to draft a platform for each branch. A new draft form of agreement transmitted from the New York Brotherhood of Tailors was given Leader Solotovsky by a committee, and it Is In Qjis possession to day awaiting final examination and passage ty a Brooklyn lawyer before its submission to the contractors. If no hitch occurs when tils agreement is presented a Termination of the strike may occur at any moment. The agreement is similar in terms to the old one, except that all mention of wages is oml'tted, these being left to the newly organized branches to decide. It also provides that the ualon shall give bonds to the contractors for all members.

Anodher meeting was held last night of the finishers' branch of local union No. 83 at 98 Graham avenue. It was announced that all the shops were closed. Several men who were among the last to leave work were asked by tne leader not to return during the present trouble. A man named Slilberman, who had persisted in going to work yesterday, was, by resolution, designated a "scab," and expelled from the organization.

A mass meeting of the strikers will be held to morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock at 183 McKIbbin street Messrs. Solotovsky, Barondess and others will speak. Three Thousand More Tailors Join the Strike in New York. The latest acquisition to the big army of striking tailors in New York, are 3,000 trousers makers, who decided at a meeting last night, in New Irving hall, in Broome stTeet, to join in the tailors' struggle for the abolition of the piece work and sweat shop system, with less hours of toil and an average weekly wage scale. At o'clock this evening the sympathetic strikers will hie themselves to Walhalla, now new Pros pect hall, in Orchard street, and place themselves under the leadership of Meyer SJioen feld, the east side strike commander.

Saturday, which Is the Hebrew Sabbath, the tailors cease to indulge in strike jargon and will repair to their respective synagogues tor prayer. By Sunday morning the strikers In New York and Brooklvn. embracing all branches of the clothing industry, will number in the aggregate IS, 000 men and women operators. It is now formally agreed that the Knpo Pants and Children's Jacket Makers' unions 4,000 strong, will quietly quit work to morrow evening; so that Sunday morning all the ilothlng making establishments in New York and vicinity will be practically tied up. Another delegation representing tho Man ufacturers' association, called this morning at tho strike headquarters in Orchard street and asked that they might be acquainted with uit exact uemanus wmcn nave been formulated by the executive board of the Brotherhood of Tailors.

They were informed that the document had not yet been passed upon by the tailors' legal adviser, ex Assistant District Attorney Thomas J. Bradlev. and ran. quently they wore unable to procure the de sired information. The official form of irr i returned by Lawyer Bradley to lue slnK0 leaders mis atternoon and will be submitted for indorsement to aieht at tlle manufacturers will be required, under the lne manuIa aS''ee $50 as a 1ulllic Jos wrarai, to give a casn deposit ot a guarantee of good faith.

Strikers Hold a MabS Meeting in Brownsville.

The striking tailors of Brownsville hld a mass meeting In Singer's hall, on Eastern parkway and AVatklns streot, last night. Joseph Harondoss, Renjamln Switzer anil several other speakers addressed tho strikers, advising them to remain firm and success would suroly follow. There was much enthusiasm, hut no disorder. The Brownsville organization is not one of the strongest and for that reason the leadeid are taking every precaution to prevent any breaks ln tho ranks. Many of tho members are of tho poorer I Consequently Robert Studley Is Now Arraigned for Assault, CLAIMS GIRL WAS WAYWARD.

It Appears That the Young Woman, Who Is Under 31, Left Her Father's Home and Took Up Her Quarters at a Long Island Hotel Studley Objected, Hence the Alleged Assault A Change of Venue. Lawyer George A. Mott got from Justice Osborne in the supreme court, special term, this morning an order removing the trial of Robert C. Studley, charged with assault, from the court of special sessions before Justice A. Wheeler in Valley Stream, L.

to the court before County Judge Garretson. Studley is a farmer, living near Valley Stream. His wife died about two years ago, leaving nine children for him to care for. The eldest of the children is a girl, Mary, 19 years old, and the father relied on her to help carry cn the household. Lawyer Mott says that Studley was disappointed in Mary, as she spent much of the time away from home and finally began to remain out late at night with other girls and men not known to her father to be of reputable character.

She Is a very pretty brunette. Recently, as Studley informs Lawyer Mott, the girl has made her home at a hotel kept by Floyd Abrams in Valley Stream. On July lo Studley went to tho, hnfnl tn nf hfss daughter and, after waiting for two hours, was informed by Abrams that if he got his daughter he would have to do so through an officer. While Studley was waiting, he says, a woman known as Gussie Flint, who is married and lives at the hotel, told Studley that if he started to go through the hotel on his search for Mary she would take a club and pound him. He did see his daughter and got her to the wood but sho refused to accompany him home.

He tried to force her to go and finally, as she resisted, he slapped her with his hand. Ho succeeded In getting her home and had been in the house but a short time when a farmer named Soper, who had frequented the Abrams' hofea, obtained his arrest on a charge of assaulting his daughter. He was taken before Justice Wheeler and while he was at court Aibram Furman, an officer in charge of the business of Wheeler, went to Studlev's house and aconmnanied the girl to the hotel. Studley was held on the charge of assault and he deposes in affidavits, submitted to day, that his daughter Mary told his son Henry that Justice Wheeler visited her and told her that he would take her part; that if she had no friends he would ibe her friend; that she needed no lawyer, as he 'would look out for her Interests. Abrams, as Studley alleges, has declared that he will spend $1,000 to keep the girl away from her father.

Studley's trial for assault will not be called until the county court meets In October, but his counsel says that he intends to have the daughter arrested on a charge of vagrancy, and, If possiblle, have her sent to a suitable institution. He declares that he will also invoke the law in Aforatns' case. Rhodes, whom Studley accuses of aiding In misleading his daughter, is a blacksmith and lives. In Oceanville. His wife broughrt an action some time ago lor a separation, on the ground of cruelty, but the separation was not granted.

Tho justice Instructed Rhodes to return to his wire and apologize, buit he did not do so, and Lawyer Mott, who was Mrs. Rhodes' counsel, says that on account of the new de velopment in Rhodes' career he will bring a new action against Knodes on behalf of Mrs. Rhodes. JOSEPH W. HARPER'S FUNERAL.
