Xiie Homo Committee Will Give alicnr lltir Upon It To morrow. Special to the Eagle. Washington D. 0., February 17. GIVE YOUR ADDRESS IN EACH CASE.

A Mo it Ordor touted by Mr. Walltloy ttto Cefieiin Taltcrs. Tho first day of the oensus progressed without any incident of sufficient noto to reaoh head quarters. Yesterday the second day opened with promises of good results. Arthur H.

Walkley, who has personal supervision of the census for the county Democratic committee, issued a gen eral order to all enumerators this morning, instructing them in every oase to record on their blotters tho B'reet and numbers of all houseB the inhabitants of which they enumerated. This is in addition to thelaw, but calculated to make the enumeration more useful. "What remedy at law would an individual have who olaimed against aa enumerator an excessive or erroneous return from a district?" 'I do not think there will be any exouse for such an action in this census," replied Mr. Walk ley, with a smile, "but if the aotion was a criminal ono and it could be shown that such error was not accidental or unintentional, but willfully done, I suppose it would be a malfeasance, as the enumerators are practioally state officials. There no pains spared to make this census an absolutely fair oue and one whioh in Kings county at least no oue can go behind and find fault with.

All we want is a fair oount. That will bo satisfactory to us and a true census is the only one whioh will have any lastiug value. Beside the truth is good enough for ub any way." FATALLT WOUJfDKD VfHSH OCT GU.1KIXG. Martin Dunn of Astoria died in St. John's hospital, Long Island Oity, last night from the ef fentB of wounds received while gunnies on the shore road lasl Sunday morning.

Brenner was arrested to day by Sergeant Daroy, and was looked up pending an examination by Coroner Mornor. Tho Bhooting is said to have been of a purely accidental character. FOE THE YOUNG.

Fitzoatrick, superintendent of BchoolB, Omaha, was the first speaker of tho morning.

Sears, city superintendent, Boston: Miss Elizabeth Harrison, Kindergarten college, Chicago, and James L. Hughes, inspector of schools, Toronto, Canada, participated.

The training of his powers of observation, judgment, memory and imagination is not all. He must learn, also, that greatest les son in life how to deal with his fellow beings, what his relationshiDS are tr r.lm rnr of mankind, and what aro tho duties ar sing from them. If this is education, let us see wnai part oi can De aiven to tbe child between tlie ages of 3 and 0. Thia is the free, croative, play period of the child's existence. bun passed out of the passive, receptivo period of in tancy and is not yet ready tor the cqui tive period of boyhood.

Piar is his natural ntmna. phere and delialit. No effort is hard or disagreeable if it helps to make mure real to him his play. This is why the kindergarten, understanding the wholesome, lovable condition of this age, seizes upon its most salient characteristics and educates by means of ulav. In thlH wnrlrl nt nlnv Via learns not only to observe, remember and create, out to rorouar, to Help ana to sympathize with his comrades.

Mr. Soaver said that in Boston they had thirty three kindergartens attended by 2,000 children between the ages of 3 and 4 yeara, about one third of the total numbor in ths city. A dollar spout for the kindergarten meant mors there thau anywhere else. There was no difficulty in obtaining money sine tbe value of the system waa demonstrated. W.

A SERIOUS PRACTICAL JOKE. Mrs. William K'urze, the Victim, Criti cally III. William Furze of Ten Eyck street told Judge Goetting to day that at 3 o'clock last Sunday morniug the door bell of their house rang, and Mr. Furze went to tho door.

A tall man who stood outBide said; "I am Officer Moyer and I havo a warrant for the arrest of your wife. I will have to take her now unless you promise to have her in court iu the morning." The mail exhibited a policeman's badge. Mrs. Furze, who is a nervous woman, fell in a faint when she heard the man, and she lias been very ill since. No warrant wan issued for her arrest in the Lee avenue police court.

Justice Goetting summoned Court Officer: Meyer to the bench. Mr. Furze said at once that he was not the man who had frightened bis wife. Tho husband now thinks that somebody played what they considered a praoj ical joke on his wifo. MORE SPACE REQUIRED.

He was oarried to the waiting room at the Brooklyn station, but died bofore an ambulance surgeon, who was summoned, arrived.

Tho body was removed to the house on DeKalb avenue, where funeral services will bo held to morrow. The Interment will be on Friday at Providenoe, R.

NOT HIS STYLE. Why Ridgway DoeBn't Cleveland. Like The District Attorney's Criticism of the ex President at a Dinner in the Eastern District and the Comment to Which It Has GiTen Bise The Hill Men Are Carrying: the War Into Africa. District Attorney James W. Ridgway made a speech in the eastern district last night which has led to considerable discussion in looal Demo cratic circles to day.

The epoech in question was mado at the banquet of the Lawrence F. Carroll association in Palace hall, Graud street, and some of those who hoard it Bay that the district attorney, in advocating the nomination of David B. Hill for President, took occasion to sharply criticise some of Grover Cleveland's acts as President. Exasrgerated reports of what ho said are in circulation. Mr.

Ridgway spoke to the toast, "Tho National Democracy and its Next Choice for President," and among those who heartily applauded portions of his speech were Fire Commissioner Ennis, Deputy Polioo Commissioner Ddllon, Charities Commissioner Nolan, Excise Commissioner Schliemauu, Baldwin F. Straiisn, counael to health board; Bernard Lamb, one of tho eastern distriot leaders; Lawronco F. Carroll and other city and county officials. Carroll has a strong Democratic following tho Fourteenth ward, and last night he aud the Nolan wing of the party had a love feast and buried the hatchet. Senator McCarron preceded Mr.

Ridgway in responding to tho toast, "The Democratio Party of the State of New York," and made a very fa vorablo impression. The district attorney did not attempt to disguise the fact that he hopes Senator David B. Hiil will be nominated for the nreaideuoy. Here are a few extracts from his speech: I do not think it is in the power of any man to say with any degree of certainty who will be tho choice of tho national Democracy for President. I certainly should not attempt the prediction.

There has been a great deal of talk lately about a midwinter convention talk against it. The convention was called early that the people of other states miy know what the Demooracy of this state think about the presidency. With the anti couveutionistH it is not so much a matter of weather as It is of whether or not they will bo permitted to name the candidate for the presidency. We are not like the Republican party that has but oue candidate for the presidency we have several fit for tho requirements of that high office. It is not beoauee ths convention is to be held early that it is feared, bnt because there is a fear that the con vein ion will mean the nomination of that illustriouf Demoorat whose picture you havo here.

Hero tho speaker pointed to a mammoth picture of David B. Hill and the audience cheered lustily. The Democratic people feel that it is better that they should be led by a commaudor who has sover Buffered defeat, who has always believed iu the riglit of the people to rule, who has always sought th3 advioe of his party and not that of its opponents the people would rathor servo under such a commander than one who might betray them to the common enemy. Cheers. You must judge a man's future by bis past then look at the proud record ot that nncou qnered and nnconquerablo Democrat, David B.

Hill. Applause. President Cleveland refused to appoint Patriok Coilins secretary of the interior, although the National Democratio committee desired that rhis be done. He declined to make George B. McOlel lan aecrotary of war, although that distinguished soldier wanted to be Becretary.

McClellan's nr.me was applauded. I houa to see a candidate nominated who stands with hie party and does not consort with its enemies. The judgment of the national convention will suffice for me. I shall cheerfully accept the nominee of tho convention, no matter who he may be. The mention of Mr.

Cleveland's name waB received in silence, bnt the name of David B. Hill elicited hearty applause. Some of tho looal leaders profess to believe that Mr. Ridgway mado a mistake in making a pronounced Hill speech, but one of his closo friends saidi "Ridgway has tho courage of his convictions. Ho wants to see Hill nominated, and he does not think that the Cleveland men who are abusing Hill every time they have a meeting should squeal whenever their idol is hit.

Ridgway does not profess to speak for the organization, bnt he certainly speaks the sentiments of thousands of Democrats in Kings county." Mr. Ridgway will go to the state convention, and Mr. Hugh McLaughlin expects to bo thore also. THAT CLERICAL ERROR. Justice xocttins; Explains li White Went to the Penitentiary.

William White, who was committed to jail by Justice Goetting in default of a bond support of his wife, and who was sent to the penitentiary instead of the jail because of a clerical error in the commitment papers, was released to day. Ins mother becomine his surety. Justice Goetting Baid to his mother: "I aoceptyour bond because of this mistake. You say you havo no property, and therefore if your son was in jail I would require a better bond than yours. I am very sorry this error was made.

The same commitment papers are used for both the Jail and the penitentiary. The clerk scratches out one word or the olhor. In his hurry ho soratohed ont tho wrong word. But you must not believe, as has b3en said, that your sou has suffered a great injustice. He might havo been sent to the penitentiary.

He is guilty of abandoning his wife, and there are a number of men now in tho pouitentiavy for this Bams offense." FIGHTING FOR ROYALTIES. A Nice Yearly Ixcouie for Knitting Machine Patents at Isaac.

In Other Words, She Would Not Attach Her Jfarae to This Particular Death Cer tificate Until the Cold Cnsh Was in Her Possession Hore About the Death Bide of Mrs. Hunt An Operation Which Mrs. Jones Would Not Haro Performed if She Had Knowa What Was Going to Happen. Tlio testimonr of George W. DeYoe, the father of Mrs.

Ida Hunt, was continued in (he Jones, case this morning after the point at irhich the report on the first pace of the Eaole closes. Mr DeVoe mado moat of tko preparations for the re. moval ef Mrs. Hunt from the Woman's hospital on the ninht of February 27, 1880, and he described that occurrence with much feolinjr The jury listened to the reeltal very cloaely and it proved one of the most pathetic incidents of tbitr remarkable trial. Mr.

DeVoe said that when he aa antnnioned to the hospital In the dar time of the 27th Mrs. Dr. Jones told him it was one of tho most painful operations she had ever Dovforiued, and that she would never have done it if sho had known what Bbe did after. Mrs. Dr.

Jones proposed the removal of his daughter at that time and Mr. Da Too got a coaob. But after the coaoh ffot there there tm a for the bettor in Mri. Hunt's condition and the conch was dismissed. That nicht Emma Marsh, a hirod eirl of Mm.

Dr Jonoi. came to tho witness' house and said she wanted Mr. DeVoe and Mr. Hunt at the hospital as soon as they could fret there. Mr.

and Mrs. DeToe dressed and wont as soon as possible. At the hosDttal floor Mrs. Dr. Mary D.

Jones met them and objected to the presence of Mrs. DeVoe because she was too nervous. Mr. DeVoe said that when he went out for the carriage tho first undertaker ho applied to wouldn't send out a coach ou suoh ft stormy nieht. He secured a carriage from another stable by telephone and removed his daushter, as Mr.

Hunt has already testified, end as was oneinallr told iu the Eaole article headed, "Ida's Last Hide." While Mrs. Hunt was bolns dressed aud the inattress and pillows nere belnc nnt in the carriaee. Mr. DeVoe Baid ihat ifra. Dr.

Jouos didu't helo dress tho oatient. but walked up and down the room rub bine her hands. Mr. DeVoe's statement of the ride throueh the roiii streets and the oarrjinK of Mrs. Hunt upstairs in her own house and her death the next day corroborated that of Mr.

Hunt srivon elsewhere. After Mrs. Hunt's death Mr, DeVoe went to see Mrs. Dr. Mary A.

Dixou Jones to cot her signature to papers which would get Mrs. Hunt's insurance in the Legion of honor. Mrs. Jones reminded the witness that Mr. Hunt owed her $18.

Mr. DeVoe told her that she might sien the papers lust the same and her bill would be all rieht. "I've been there before," Dr. Mary Jones replied, and Mr, DeYoa went and got the $18 from Hunt, paid the bill aud got the papers Biened. Mrs.

Dr. Jones then told him that thero had been a mistake lu addition and Mr. Hunt still owed whidu he miAt stop some nii'bt and pay. Mr. Kant has never paid the dollar, according to Mr.

DeVoe. The cross examination was loua and directed to showing that the witness got his suspicions Mrs. Jones aud the reasons for takiue hi daughter homo in the nicht time from the reporter who interviewed him. Ths witness testified that before tho oporation ho had heard no harm of Dr. Jones.

Ho became somewhat ooufused between his recollection at presont and tho minutes of his testimony before the urand jury, SDd at the criminal trial, aud between the things ho told the repsrter Boon after Mrs. Hunt's death and what he said when her body was exhumed, but the main features of his testimony were not affected. The witn sa said he did not tell the reporter some of the details which appeared in'tho interview with him, hut insisted that the reporter had reproduced what he said correctly in most respects. The redirect examination was devoted to showing that Mr. DeVoe had been told various things by his wife and the woman who laid Ida out, about the condition of the body aud what Ida Hunt had told her mother.

Ho said his wife told him that Ida said sho had beeu murderod and that ho told the reporter that Justice Bart lett cautioned the jury that this statement was cot evidence that Ida Hunt said that, but just that Mr. DeVoe told the reporter that.

WHiT A KUSS1AN JuEKCHANT SATS. Reports! of Had Slarvckts Greatlj' gcrutvd by Anarchists The following letter has just been received in jew York "c.ty from Michael Saryc, a prominent justness man of St. Petersburg, Eussia, in regard Jo the famine in Russia: The harvest of last fall was tho poorest Russia has had in a number of years, but fortunately tho failure of crup3 is eonthied to seventeen of the sixty enbernias (provinces) of Russia, and the reports of the bad harvest in those placoa are Eieally exaggerated by fereian newspapers.

The lliisslan government and many individuals have organized several schemes to alleviate the sutfer ing among the people living iu the districts where the famino exists. The government donated 55,785,017 roubles to relievo the suffering aud organized a lottery with a capital of 0,000,000 roubles, which has already brouKht in 20,000,000 roubles. The following is the current price of grain: Bye (40 pound measure), 1 rouble 10 kopecs: wheat (40 ponnd mt aure), 1 rouble 15 kopecs; barley (4 0 pound measure), 1 rouble 50 kopecs: oats (40 pound measure). 1 rouble 83 kopecs. A fair harvest prevailed iu seme of the seventeen idibemias comprisod in the famine district.

The depression of trade is duo in great part to the wild speculation of some capitalists and the gov trnmfnt has taken measures to restrict the wild cat speculation which has caused bo much dull Be in trade. There are about 15,000,000 farmers in Russia and many of the farms are very rioh and productive. Mr. Saryc says that the Russian people, as a whole, are satisfied with the rule of the czar, but that the enemies of the Russian government, including anarchists, are very active and untiring in spreidini: bloodthirsty reports throughout the world.

The Justice Explains the Tote Against Him in the Concordia Society and Pays His Compliment to What He Calls a Lot of "Pet House Politician8 The Renewal an Old Political Struggle. Police Justioe William Watson waa seen thia afternoon by an Eaole reporter and Questioned as to bis being blackballed in the Concordia singing sooiety of the Twenty sixth ward. He was disinclined to talk of the affair, aud spoke at first in mild terms of tho men ho holds responsible for his rejection, but as he warmed up to his subjeot he scored his enemies in true Wataoniau style.

This is what he said in answer to many questions: "About two weeks ago I was solicited by John M. Line, cashior of the East New York savings bank and a former ex pieaident of the Concordia singing sooiety, with Louis Biedermanu, 1bo an ex president of the sooiety, and Mr. Bisohoff to allow them to present my name for membership. After a good deal of persuasion ou their part i reluctantly permitted them to do so, at tho same time handing them my initiation fee. I dismissed the matter from my thoughts until I reooived a note from Mr.

Biedermaun returning my initiation fee and informing me that my uaras was rejected by the sooiety. I have since ascertained that when my name was bulletined on the blackboard Peter Sutter and some of hia henchman, inoluding Frank Maier and Joe Bookmann, an employe in the commissioner of Jurors' office, clubbed together and on the night of the election they showed up thirteen strong. The fact was that I received 21 out of 34 votes, not 6 out of 21 votes, as stated in the Eaole. I am positive that my rejection does not meet with the approval ef a majority of the society, which has 180 members. It was merely tho result of the manipulations of the political boss referred to, aided by a few of his satellites who belong to the society.

I firmly believe that if all the members were present and voted I would receivo 150 out of tho 180 votes. My friends are now urging me to give my consent to have my name reproposed, but I have not yet made up my mind what to do; but should I give my assent I have not tho least doubt as to my election, for it takes a third of the votes to reject. As to my name being rejected by the Brighton athletio club, I will Bay that the firBt intimation I had of my having betu an ap Phoant for membership in tho organization was when I read it in the Eaole. In fact the present is the first time I experienced the delightful sensation of having been blackballed by a sooiety.although I am now commander of Louis M. Hamilton post.

li. aud a meniborof Fort Greene council, R. Canarsie yacht club. Liberty hose association aud a direotor in the Cambridge club. The influences whioh brought about the rejection of mv name were such as should net enter into clublife.aud can only result in bringing disseiiBiou into a society noted for its entire freedom from politics or in trigue of any kind.

I believe if I were to live 100 years Mr. Suttsr and his rinc of not house politicians will not forget the drubbings I gave them time and again at the polls, both'at the spring and general elections, while leader of the minority party. While he was a police commis sioner of New Lots I easily defeated his pet police captain, who ran against me for judge. I was elected supervisor and showed up, while in the hoard, the rotten and conupt mode, of oarrying on the finanoial affairs of Now Lots. I carried the ward twice for tho assembly, whilB the other candidates of my party for other offices were defeated by large majorities.

I need not refer further to my Btrength in the ward. This is merely the continuation of tho fight which I led against them in the wator. eas. cradniL'. nav.

ing, ourbing and all the other swindles by which they rattened and enriched themselveB. Some of them never received more than $1,200 a year. and yet they are rich men to day. This is enough tor to day. I will wait to see their next move.

About the only feature early this afiernooa was a sharp rise in Western Union, followed by a fall in Reading, New England, Atchison and the grangers, and the tone was heavy for nearly half an hour, with the greatest pressure upon the coal shares.

AtSo'clook last evening Poliooman Soner of the Seventeenth preoinct found a woman lying on tho sidewalk at the corner of East New York ave nue and Bristol street. She was apparently under the influence of liquor, and, with tho assistance of a citizen, the officer took the woman to tho police station. The sergeant at the desk decided to send for an ambnlance, and Surgeon O'Hanlon of at. Mary's hospital responded. He pronounced the oase one of alcoholism, and the woman, who was unable to givo her name and address, was locked in a cell.

At 11 o'clock last night the doorman, in going his rounds, hoard the woman moauing piteously. He notified the Bergoant and the ambnlance surgeon was again summoned. This time he diagnosed the ease as tbo grip, and took the woman to St. Mary's hospital. An Eaole reporter called at that institution this morning.

The woman was niicouscious, and hor identity had not yet been learned. SHE DIED ALONE A Mother's Terrible Cruelty to Her Child. Her Three Year Old Banehter Tied to the Wall in a Dark Boom and Slowly Stranglod Death A Terrible Story of Heartlessness in Hish Lifo. Belfast, February 17. A dispatch from Coleraine, in County Londonderry, forty seyen miles from here.

Bays that Mrs. Anna Margaret Montagu, daughter of Lord Robert Montagu, was committed for trial this morning on the charge of causing the death of her daughter, Mary Helen Montagu, only 3 5'earsofage. The bare details of the affair are known at present, aa the greatest efforts havo been made to keep the matter secret and to shield, as far as possible, the importaut family involved, but the crime is of such a shocking nature that the servants, neighbors and others insist that Justice should be done. From the accounts of the affair that have reached here it seoms that the poor child has been badly used by its governess iu addition to being tbo object of the hatred of its mother. In fact, the harsh action of the governess seems to have led up to the tragedy.

The latter, it seems, for some childish escapade upon the part of her charge, locked the little girl up in a dark room as a punishment and then informed her mother, Mrs. Montagu, ef tbo child's offense and of the punishment she had meted out to her for it. The mother appears to have become fo enraged at her little daughter's conduct that she resoived to punish her still more severely, and, going to tbe dark room in which tho child had been confined by the governess, Mre. Montagu tied her baby daughter's arms behind her back with some stout string, and then, not satisfied with this severe treatment, she tied the string to a ring in the wall, half stringing hor up to the wall in such a way as te prevent her from moving about while she was under punishment. The child cried piteouvly to be released, promiii ng, amid heart rending sobs, never to offend again.

The mother went away and locked the door behind her, leaviug the child alone in tho dark room aud strung to tbe wall in a position whioh must have caused her infinite pain. After the mother left the child in tho position mentioned, the poor infant's criea grew fainter and tneu ceased entirely. Those who noticed that the child had ceased crying came to the conoiusiou that she had become recouciled to her imprisonment in tho dirk room and that she had concluded that tho loss noise Bbe made tho sooner sho would he placed at liberty. In auy case, three houn passed before anybody thought of going to the dark room in which the little girl was confined. At the expiration of that lime, the door or the dark room was visited, and when several knocks at the door failed to obtain a reply from the child, the door was op.ened aud tho child was seen huddled up under the ring in the wall, her curls covering up her face, whioh was hanging downward, the body being upheld by the string fastened arouud her arms and secured to the rin referred to.

Examination showed that hho had beeu choiced to death. Medical attondance las went for, but all efforts to bring the child back to life proved fruitless. The mother and governess were in bnt the physician, servants and noighbors who heard of tho affair were indignent against tho oruel mother and insisted that Justice should bo done. The result was that the police wero iuformed of the tragic death of little Mary and soon after a warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Montagu waa issued.

When taken into custody, Mrs. Montagu sobbed bitterly aud auain and again asserted that Bhe had no intention of taking the child's life, that she was utterly broken hearted at what had occurred and that her sole object in fastening the child to the wall wag to prevent her from kicking at the door of the room in whioh sho had been confined and so disturbiug everybody iu the house. Mrs. Montagu's explanations, however, did not satisfy the police nor did they satisfy the police magistrate before whom her preliminary examination was conducted to day for, as already stated, in spite of the efforts of hor influential friends aud relations and in spite of the pleas of her abio counsel, she was formally committed for trial, It is not generally believed that Mrs. Montagu had any intention of taking her child's life, but the opin ion prevails that the child was aotually choked to death through being strung up to the wall in the manner already described by the cruel mother.

It is said that other serious instances of cruelly upon the part of Mrs. Montagu to her child will be disclosed at tho trial. UIIaXB JUItSHAl, CATL1.VS OKDKK. Major General Isaac B. Catlin, grand marshal of tha Ch A.

180 RemseaaV Provokes a Mild Protest From Mayor Boody. He Does Not Think Criticism of the Jemks Bill Entirely Warranted Broker Sta pies Says He is Decidedly Opposed to tho Acquisition of the Property of the Long Island Water Supply Company by the City Mr. Sibley is Reticent. Mayor Boody was askod to day if he had read the interview with Mr. Ziegler, published in the Eaolb last night, touching tho water bill.

He replied that he had. Asked if be had anything to say in reply, he remarked i "I am surprised that Mr. Zioglor should have said that proceedings could be taken to condemn the stook of the company and not the property represented by it. I wiBh to consult with the corporation counsel before talking further about tho matter. I may have something to Bay after seeing him.

Come in about 1 o'clock." At 1 o'clock the mayor had not seen General Jenks, who was engaged in oonrt and therefore could be interviewed no more. Counselor William J. Gaynor. who has been engagod by Mr. William Ziegler to prepare bill authorizing the oity to acquire the plant of the Long Island wator Bupply oompaiiy, is at work drafting it.

Unlike the bill prepared by Corporation Counsel Jenks ond approved by Mayor Boody, it will, it is said, get right down to first business prinoiples, and simply authorize a commission appointed by a justioeoi tneBupreine oourt to assess the vain a of the property. There will be no ambiguous language such as is usu ally contained in the various teotioua of a bill. That Mr. Staples does not agree with his friend Ziegler about the stook of the oompany not be nig worth Paris aooarent. He will buy all of it he oan secure and is willing to pay a good pre.

ramm for it. When seen by an Eaole reporter to day he said he was opposed to the acquisition of tho company's plant by tho city. "Then you do not agree with Mr. Ziegler that the entire plant is only worth ho was aBked. Mr.

Staples did not answer oromDtlv. After a few moments' heBita Hon he said. "Well. I should say not. You can say I am in the stock business and am not in fa vor of any bill looking toward tbe city acquiring this property." Further questioning only resulted in Mr.

Staples saying that he would not talk. Mr. Gaynor was seen at his offioe in the Continental building. In answer to a query by a reporter he dictated tha following! "You gentle Men of the press may just a well leavo me alono about this matter, as I will say nothing about it." Mr. Sibley was seen at his offioe, 32 Liborty street.

Now York, and waa also uncommunicative. "Mr. Ziegler," he said, "made the matter plain in last night's Eaole, and I have nothing to add to it." Mr. Ziegler had not been at his oflloe, 4C Cedar Btreet, New York.when a reporter oalled. His secretary Baid he would not be thero to day.

It did not take the two committeemen lone to become cognizant of tho value of holding the meeting in the Academy of Muiio, and accordingly Mr. Sessions repaired to that institution, to confer with Mr. Weir, who attends to Buch mattors. SesBionB was greatly disappointed on being told that the Academy was engaged for Friday evening, and went baok to report this answer to the ooiamlt too. Ab tho rink waa engagod for tho food exhibit, the Criterion theater was engaged, and owing mainly to its somewhat out of tho way sit uation the meeting was not as well attended as had been expeoted.

The morning after tho meeting the merabere of the oom mittee said that if they could have had the Academy it would have beon filled. Now, as fate would have it, an Eaqm reporter paBsod the Academy on last Friday evening three times between the hours of 8 and 10 o'clock, and each time the house was shrouded in Egyptian darkness. The doors wero closed aud, apparently, not even a dis embodied spirit of discontent was about. This morning, when the reporter told several memberB of the committoo of what ho had Been, they pooh poohed the story aud said that they were sure that the Aoademy was engaged on tbe evening in question. Oscar J.

Murray, the treasurer of the Academy, when seen by the reporter, said that the theater was not engaged on Friday evening. "In tho afternoon," he said, "the Boston symphony orchestra gave a concert, bat there was nothing goiug on iu the eveuiug. Although this orchestra was to repeat its ooncert an Saturday evening there was nothing on tho stage to interfere with a mass meeting." Mr. Weir, tho business manager of the academy admitted that aonio one had been there and had said something, but his recollections in regard to the matter wero very hazy. When asked why he had told Mr.

Sessions that the building was engaged, he replied that he did not understand how that oocurred. 'Had politics anything te do with the matter?" askod tho reporter. 'No. We are always willing to let the Academy to anybody who is respectable and can The mattor rests here, and ptoplo are now ask ing whether the committee really tried to get the Acadamy and, if so, why they should have beeu told that it was ongaged when, as a mattor of faot, it was not.

The Kings county Bupremo court judges aro author ized to select a judge to sit. In his letter of explanation to Senator Me.

Car ren Justice Bartlett sBy that it has been im possible to get judces from other districts to sit in Kings County when uo provision was made for their payment, and when they recoivod pay for sitting in New York county. If an extra judge could be induced to sit for ono or two months in the winter tho circuit calendar could be kept down to a reasonable Bize. The bill was ordered to a third reading. Senator MoOarty has introduced a bill to pro vide far two new assistant clerks iu Jtho court of sessioua. At present the clerk has a deputy a first and a second assistant, and the work of two other assistants is now done by court officers.

It was immediately referred to the committoe on commerce aud navigation, of which Senator McCarron is chairman. Tho senator says that the committee will meet this af ternoon and consider the bill and will roportit favorably iu the morning. fa'ome surprise has been expressed among the Brooklyn senators aud assemblymen at William Zieeler's expression of opposition to the East New Y'ork water works bill which Senator Mc Carty introduced in the legislature. Tho bill was in tho sensto cities committee for a week or moro, and Mr. Ziegler did not ask for a hearing on it, aud the committee reported it favorably this morning.

Senator McCarty said that it Mr. Ziegler wanted te appear before tho committee the bill would be recommitted and every facility would be given to him to express his opposition. "I do not understand his hostility to the bill," said the collator, "for it is drawn in accordance with tho biiseestiens Mr. Qiynor, made when he was attempting to prevent the purchase of the water plant. It provides that a commission shall be appointed by tho stiDreuu court to find out what the property of the water company is worth, and allowR the city authorities to buy it if the price Is considered reasonable.

If tho city decides to tho purchase Mr. Zeigler still has tho opportunity of resorting to injunction proceedings to prevent it, he did before." Do yon propose to delay the bill to give Mr. Ziegler an opportunity to piosent the bill which he says that ho has instructed his comiBol to pre pare?

The senate judiciary committee has reported tho bill its original form. The labor organizations demand its passage. They found it difficult to get it through the assembly, and they were fraid that it would not pass again if it was sent back there In an amended form. Their influence prevailed with the senate committee.

There was a long discussion in the committoe Hi a whole in the senate on Senator Oogge hall's bill providing for the refunding of money aid by drafted men during the war to escape ervico in the army, bonr.tor Mc(Jlelland de clared that the bill provided for a reward for cowardice, and Bbould not pass. Senator Oogge. hall said that he was astonished that a senator who had so long admired Qrover Cleveland honld call the ex prosident a coward. "If Grover Cleveland waB backing this bill, and if he paid his money to avoid going to the i ont, and then asked for it back again, I would ot hesitate to brand him a coward, much as I admire him," was McClolland's reply. The bill was ordered to a third reading, after tho section exempting from taxation the prop erty of all honorably discharged soldiers and sailors, or their widows, was stricken out.

The aldermanic salary bill whioh waB reported by the senate cities committee was ordered to a third reading. When it was under consideration in committee of tho whole, Senator Smith wanted to know if it increased the salaries of the Brooklyn aldermon and was astonished when ho was told by Senator McOarty that the aldermen bad not received any salary for several yeara. There was no objection mado to the bill.

The hill is similar to his own bill whioh providos for three bridgos from Long Island City to New York, and Andrew II. Green of New York is said to be one of tho men interested in it. Tlio senate committeo on commerce and navigation t'ave a hearing ou the Floyd Jones bill this afternoon. The liainoy bridge bill passed the assembly to d.iy. It provides for a bridge from New York to Long Island City across Blackwell's island and occupies part of the territory which tho poeplo br hind tho Floyd Jones bill hoped to occupy.

They say, however, that tho bill will bo of uo tffsct, for it revives an old charter which lapsed years ago. BRUISER SULLIYAX PLAYS AXOTUElt ROLE. Accriaed of Boating His Way on a Kansas City. February 17. The conductor ot the Santa Fe train on which John L.
