"Wero you not drunk asked Mr. Sanborn.

No, sir; I never drink intoxicating liquors. My friend was drunk." Did you not apply a vory offensive epithet to me?" No, sir; I nover use bad language.

Eobort Solomon, a Bowery tobacco denier who resides in Brooklyn, waa rocontly arrostod on an order of arrest obtained by Messrs. Schniedcr Bon In a suit to recover $0,400 tor loaf tobacco supplied. Affidavits wore submitted at tho timo which showod that Solomon had bought leaf tobacco from ox Mayor Schroedor nt $1.70, $1.50 and $1 per pound, which he had quickly resold at a reduction of 33 percent. It was also alloged that Solomon was believed to be about to fail or leave tho State. This morning Solomon's counsel moved before Justlco Bartlott to vacate the order of arrest.

Ho submittod affltdavlts and urged that the plaintiffs had takou thoir action too quickly, and were premature in assorting that Solomon was about to fail. Thoy should havo waited for him to fall before charging him with fraud. Ho had merely sold tho tobacco to be ablo to meet somo maturing bills, and if the creditors had waltod they would havo been paid what was owing to thom. Mr. William C.

Do Witt replied that the affidavits wero clear. Solomon was doalor in a small way on tho Boworj and ho was suddonly found launching out into enormous transactions, buying thou sauds of dollars' worth of loaf tobacco from all the large importers, Instead of ton dollars' worth. This tobacco wa3 at once sold to a cousin unmod Berliner, who sold It to another relativo namod Simon Solomon, of tho firm of Slinou Solomon fc Son, wholesale leaf dealers. Tho goods woro placed In a stor ago warehouse, the brands and marks changed to evade replevin or soizuro, aud tho entries in the books falsified. Solomon's counsel Our books aro not falsified.

Mr. DoWitt That may bo. But Simon Solomon's books are falsified, aud we submit affidavits to that offect Solomon's counsol How do you know that? Mr. DoWitt Tho fact Is, that Mr. Schrooder learned tho wholo facts from a bookkeeper in tho employ of Simon Solomon Son, who appoars to havo had somo reiiuautof a conscience and revealed tho whole thing.

The Court If Mr. Solomon had beeu buying largely to an unusual degree, If he had sold for so much less than it cost, If tho goods had been Btorod and the marks changed and tho entrios in tho books changed there would seem to bo ground for tho complaint Counsel hauded up papers and the Judgo resorvod decision.

A Bullet Speeding After an Erring Woraa" Sequel to the Recent Scandal at Patch oirue A Well Known Resident Attempts to Kill His Wife Driven to Desperation Through Brooding Over the Villainy of a Former Friend. Special to the Eagle. PATOiociUB, L. January 16. Edwin Cowles, of Patchogue, attempted to murder his wife lust night, llo went to the residence of Mr.

Diirnott, where Mrs. Cowles and daughter aro boarding, and asked to sec his wife. Ho had a revolver In his hand concealed in tho pocket of his overcoat. Burnett said Mrs. Cowles wns not In.

It was known that Cowles was carrying a revolver and Duruett feared trouble. Mrs. Cowles wns in tho house and hid on hearing her husband's voice. While Coivles and Iuruett stood in the parlor parleying, Cowles saw in the back room through a glass door tho form of a omnn and, concluding it was his wife, sent a bullet blazing through the door. Tho form was thai of Mr3.

Cowles, but fortunately she was not hit. Sue was passing from ono hiding place to another and did not think she. could lo seen. Domestic trouble lies at tho bottom of tho shooting. Recently the namo of Mrs.

CowIob was unpleasantly associated with that of Thomas S. lloat ley, editor of tho .1 dinner. Cowles found llcutluy in his bedroom and would hnve shot him but for young Cowles. A suit for JIO.K'O damages was instituted by Cowles and Hcatley was arrested, and being unable to give ball agreed to leave the tato and nover return If Iho action were discontinued. Cowles agreed to this and lleatloy's present place of abodo is not known.

Cowles has brooded over his troubles. Though a k'mpemuco man formerly ho has taken to drink mid frequently bus exhibited his revolver and made threats. Only rocontly tho weapon was takou from him temporarily. Ho pays his wife's board at Dur nolt's. Ho is grieved tbat his daughter insists on living with her mother.

Cowlos is a momber of tho largest mercantile houso in tho place, a member of ono of Iho churches und has always been foremost in every public enterprise. DE3IPSEY SURPRISES HIS FRIENDS. The Brooklyn l'uiliht Accommodates Three AiiCatroiiiKtw. The Germnma Atisembly Booms, in the Bowery, woro crowded last evening by sporting mon. "Jack Dempsey, tho champion light weight pugilist, who has won victories all ovor tho continent without sustaining a single defeat, was given a benefit 'I'ho feature of tho ovening'fl aport was the task to be porformed by tho boneficiary.

He agreed to meot "Jimmy" Murray, "Tom" Henry nnd Mike Donovan, each in four rounds, making in all twolvo rounds. This was something of a novelty in the boxing lino. Murray was Dompsoy's first victim. Tho former could do nothing but afford amusement for tho spectators by tho awkward mannor in which he tried to evade tho swinging right handers of tho light weight champion. After the fourth round his face was as red as a beet, and he breathod a sigh of relief when lieferoo Plum mer ordored the mon to desist.

Dempsey's second victim wns "Tom" Henry. Ho fared little hotter thau Ills predecessor. The third and last bout was between Profossor "Mike" Donovan and tho champion. Thld was on sclontiflc principles. Thoy con tonted themsolvoB by tapping each other goutly.

Dompsey surprised evorybody by his skillful work. If he were a little bigger he would prove a dangerous opponent to tho invincible Sullivan. MECHANICAL BLACKSMITHS.

Latoly, however, Messrs.

A Midnight Explosion on the New Yorh Aqnednct Residences Within a Radius of Two Miles Shaken Windows Broken and Dwellings Damaged Only Ono Person Injured Narrow Escapo of John Vincent and Family.

Yonkbrs, N. January 10. A small wooden building, loosely thrown to gethor, In which there waB 230 pounds of dynamite stored in a frozon stato at Shaft No. 14 of tho now Croton Aqueduct, at Ardsley, Wostchostor County, was blown up at 12:20 o'clock this morning, spreading destrection in all direction. Around tho building wore the engine and compression rooms of tho shaft, boarding housos and other sheds and build lugs which woro all badly rent and torn.

A pocullar feature of tho affair Is tho fact that nobody was hurt, with the exception of a Mrs. Fox, who keeps a boarding houso near tho spot, ond she only received somo slight bruises and cuts from a stone that was blown into her window aud flying glaBs. The boilor room was wrecked, there not being loft a wholo board or beam in it The spot where tho buildiug stood is marked by a deep hole in tho ground. This building was 8 feot square, but not so much as a splinter could bo found of it this morning. The residence of John Viucent, about two hundred foot away from it, was also wrecked.

Both ouds of it wore blown out aud tbe furniture completely ruined. Mr. Vincent and family wero at a party given at tho Lawrence Hotel in tho village. Had they been homo as usual they would all have been in bod and probably killed. All tho windows of the littlo Methodist Church, about threo hundred yards away, woro broken, and scarcely a houso escaped anywhere in the neighborhood without oithor a wludow blown in or plaster knocked from the walls.

It la not known bow the dynainlto was set off, but it is supposed that the stoam pipes loading Into the placo, used to thaw the explosive as It was wanted, got to hot and exploded the dynamite. The real cause will probably novor bo known. Flanagan the contractors, estimate their loss at botwoon and $10,000. The shock of tho oxploslon broke window panes at Dobb's Ferry, two miles distant, and all along tho river, as far north as Pooksklll and south to Yonkors, window glnss suffered. The people were awakoned from their sleep and thought an earthquake had takea placo.

At Y'oukers there was great consternation, the housos shaking and windows rattling. At Sing Sing tho effect on the dogs was to start them all barking, while telephones were brought into requisition to uuravol tiio whereabouts and cause of the oxploslon. Tho explosion was folt all over Westchester County. Everybody thought It was an earthquake, and a great many pooplo got up out of bod. In somo places the houses shook so as to knock down dishes and make pictures sway on tho wall.

Another shock was oxpoctod and a good donl of terror prevailed, but there was only the one shock. Fow pooplo in the county know oven now what caused the shock. TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY.

Two Hundred Applicants for Appointments. The Rush to the Civil Service Bureau. Mayor Whitney on His Proposed Commission Building Improvements Tho Sewers. The desire for appointments in the eity departments is spreading. Mr.

Evangoltdes, the secretary of tho Civil Service Bureau, remarked, Incidentally, to day that Binco tho resignations of Mayor Low's Civil Service Commissioners, less than a week ago, he has furnished about two hundred blank forms for applications for examinations for various subordinate placos; and that up to this morning only ten of tho applications had boon returned filled up, so that partlos shall be in a position to stand examination. It Is evident from this state of things that there Is elthor a widespread misapprehension as to tho Civil Service system, or that many people think it is tho intention of the administration to subvert tho system. If tho lattor opinion is cntertaiuod it is far from being cor. oct. Tho main cause of this flow of applications is no doubt iguoranco as to tho operations of tho Civil Service law and regulations.

Tho small fry politicians havo as yet been unablo to comprehend their scopo and meaning. Mayor Whitney will not appoint his Civil Service Commissioners umil next weok and possibly not until tho woek aftor. Tho delay In the appointments of sealers of wolghta and measures is owing to tho quostiou as to whother or not these placo3 come within the regulations. Mayor Whitney asked advice from tho Law Department and has not yot recelvod the Corporation Counsel's opinion. In tho event of the appointments being made by tho Mayor, the gossips have it that Georgo E.

Oloudeunlng, of tho Fifth Ward, will bo selected for tho Second Congressional District and John Bondor for tho Filth Congressional District There are no less thau thirty candidates for the four placos. Tho Mayor's vetoes of tho minor appointments and of tho proposed Increase of City Clork Shau ley's salary will go to tho Board of Aldormon on Monday. On Thursday the Eaule announced, on the authority of the Mayor hlmsolf, that ho should veto tho appointments, aud, previously to that, that ho should veto tho salary inert aso; so that the politicians and tho parties directly interested woro relieved of their anxioty in tills matter. As to tho new Civil Service Commission, tho Mayor said that it was Iii3 dosiro to have in it an allopathic physician and a homeopathic physician, and ho experienced considerable difficulty In finding one of ihe latter who was willing to servo. The fact is thai the Commissioners havo a groat deal of work and receive no pay.

Mayor Whitney said that he has not decided whother or not the Commission shall be an entirely new one, and this has lod somo of Eluan Allen Duty's friends to bcliovo that Mr. Doty will be a momber of it. Tn Ior tho law tho Commission will bo composed of six Democrats and five Republicans. Mr. Doty is a Mugwump in national and a Soth Low Republican In city politics.

Ho was ono of tho chief pushers of tho "best poo pio's movemont to shovo General Woodward into tiio last Full. Auditor Voego Introduced Dr. J. Ci. Small to the Mayor to day as a candidate for an In the Department of Health.

Jonks, his nppolntco as Corporation Counsel, for an opinion as to whether or not the scalers of weights and measures to be appointed would bo subjoct jo competitive examination under tho Civil Service system. Mr. Jeuks has replied with a vorbal opinion that they would not. This is In accordance with Mr.

Whituoy's views. lilJII.niNO During the past week Commissioner Gaylor issued permits for fifty four new buildings as against oiguty two during tho previous week.

It is feared by Home of the members of the American Jockey Club that their race track at Jerome Park, In Westchestor County, will be appropriated by tho Aqueduct Commissioners of New Y'ork for the sito of a mammoth distributing reservoir. Improvements of a very extonslvo nature are boing made to tho track, such as the straightening and fencing in the course, which will eatiso an outlay of about 30,000. Tho lease of the track has boon renewed for ton years. Judgo Morrison, tho vice president of tho American Jockoy Club, does not put any faith In tho report. A prominent mem borof tho Conoy Island Jockoy Club said: "Tho track may escapo being mudo a part of a vast water supply systom, but if the city takes the property it will have to indemnify the club." Jeromo Park Is easy of access.

The probability is that if tho track Is appropriated the club will bo obliged to locato on Long iBland. A roport comes from Chicago that tho Dwyer Brothers aro ongagod in forming a stock company for tho purpose of establishing a race track at the Prospect Fair Grounds nt Kings Highway. The report Is generally discredited in racing circlos In Now Y'ork and Brooklyn. GRAND ARJIY ELECTIONS. Tbe lYew Officers of Abraham Uncoln and Thomas F.

MANTON MaRM.1? AS ACTON'S SUCCESSOR. Manton Marble's prosonco in the city Is considered significant Owing to tho fact that ho has lately devoted considerable attention to the study of flnan clol questions and has beoii honored with tho confidence of tho President in being sent abroad on an important and, in a measuro, confidential mission. It is believed by many that tho President's intention Is to offer him the position of sub Treasurer at New York.

Tho position involves so much that It is said tho I'rosidont will only soled a person who has an acknowledged and established reputation. He would prefer to appoint a business man, but it isextremolydinicult to find one capable of handling the ofllco who would be snti.inod with tho salary of 8,000. Men at tho head of largo houses or corporatious can make more than that and bo certain, bosido, of practically a life tenure Mr. Marble's reputation is established, and tho fact that ho is tho ox editor of tho Sew Vork WoM is considerably in his favor.
