LEFT AT NIGHT. Greenport in a Ferment About Delia Lee's Fate. Driven Away in a Wagon with Two Yonnjr Men A Promise of Marriage which was Not Fulfilled. Special to the Engle. GREENroitT, January 19.

This village is in a ferment over a scandal which has culminated in the mysterious disappearance of a young woman and tho sudden doparturo of two young men. Whilo thoro are somo porsons who suggest most startling theories in connection with tho girl's absence, thoro Is no proof that any foul treatment has befallen hor. Tho name of the mis sing girl Is Delia Lee. Tho young men alluded to are Augustus and William Wiggins, brothers. Thoy are said to havo gone to St.

Louis to Join a relative who loft tho town for reasons not unlike those which compelled thom to hurry away. Miss Lee and Augustus wore engaged to bo married. Complications aroso which mado the girl peremptory in hor demand for tho fulfillment of hor lover's promise. He replied that his family objected and that he would bo disinherited if ho offended parental pride. Thoro Is plenty of monoy in tho Wiggins family and thero have boen a number of scandals which woro readily smoth orod.

Miss Leo appealed to tho law and Augustus wns nrre6ted. Ho gave bail to appear for examina tion. Justice Schuyler Horton was to havo sat in Judgment on tho case last Thursday morning. On tho procoding evening Miss Lee had a consultation with her counsel, Benjamin Keovo. Sho told him that sho had beon tendered a considorablo sum of money to abandon tho prosecution and had rejected the offer.

Counsol and client arrnngod to go to court togethor the following morning and Miss Leo started for homo. That was the last soon of her by Mr. Itcevo. Whon court convened Augustus Wiggins responded and pleaded not guilty. His accuser not answering a motion for tho dismissal of tho complaint was granted.

Wiggins loft town at tho earliest posslblo moment. The investigation since mado has not resulted satisfactorily. It has beon learned that when Miss Leo left the lawyer's office Bhe was Intercepted by William Wiggins. II was sought but could not bo found. It has boon established that he and the girl went to tho residonco of a Mrs.

Bakor, whoro Augustus wiggms jomeu tnem later. Liquors woro takon Into the houso, but It is clalmod that Miss Lee did not Imblbo. At sometime after midnight a wagon drove out of the village, contain ing three persons at least, and two of them, it is alleged, wore William Wiggins and Delia Leo. No other definite information has beon obtained re specting the young woman. There aro sovoral ru mors.

Ono is that sho iB in New York, and another that she Is at Wosthampton. Tho lattor Is Bald to havo boon disproved to day. Tho M'iggins family do not deny that tho young men havo gono away, and tho people do not understand why William should absent himself, as he was not involved in tho lovo nffolr. Tho girl had boon living at the Wyandank Hotel, and all of hor personal effects are thoro still. Sho gave her age as 19 years.

PECK'S CHARGE Against President "William Richardson. Judge Trncy Writes to the Commissioner of Labor Statistics and Subsequent Proceedings will Depend Upon the Answer. Mr. William Kichardson, president of tho Atlantic Avenue Railway, was asked this morning by an Eaoi.k reporter Did you soo In last Sunday's Eaoi.e the statement mado by tho Commissioner of Labor Statistics to the effect that in his report he would show that ybu ore not only a hard hearted employer but also a perjurer? I did." What Is tho truth about that mattor, and what will you do in relation to the charges? Tho truth would bo bost shown by tho publication of my testimony, which was takon down, question and answer, by tho stenographer of the Commissioner, Mary F. Soymour.

'This testimony I wish the Eaoi.e would publish in fuli, so that Its readers could Judge themselves of its truthfulness. As to what I will do in relation to tho charges, that will greatly depend on the reply of Commissioner Pock to a lcttor from my counsel, Judge Tracy, writton to him yestorday, inquiring whether ho mado tho statemont In reference to myself Imputed to him by Iho Albany correspondent of tho Eaoi.e." Can you show In a few words any facts tending to show that your omployes aro as woll or better treated than thoso of othor streot railway corporations? 1 do not choose at this time to say anything on that subject. The ono Important question now is: 'Did William Richardson carefully givo truthful answers to the best of his knowlodgo and ability to every question askod him by Commissioner Peek, or did ho, as charged, commit perjury? Will you say anything further on this subject to the readers of tho Kaole I cannot see that anything moro is uoedod nt this timo." Mr. Richardson, who showed Bomo omot ton In reverting to Iho chargo of the Commissioner nsked that the questions and nnswors above should stand precisely as they woro writton by himself and tho reportor. He said further in informal conversation that ho had novor beon so astounded lu all his lifo as ho had beon by the reference to himself in Sunday's Eaqi.r, quoted from Commissioner Pock.

Tho blow to himself was not so severe as it was to his family and friends. If the Commissioner acknowledges that Iho Eaoi.e quoted him correctly, then Mr. Richardson will, ho says, refrain from instituting proceedings against the Eaiii.e, and will promptly begin action against tho Commissioner.

TWO DEFEATS. Decisions in Important Actions Handed Down. The Flooded District Test Case in the Court of Appeals Jndjrmont or tho General Term Affirmed Richard Poillon's Yictorr Features of tho Litigation. Special to tho Eagle. Albany, January The Court of Appeals have handed down the fol lowing decisions In local cases: Frank Soifert, respondont against the City of Brooklyn.

Order of General Term aillrmod nnd Judgment absoluto ordered for tho plaintiff. Hich ard Poillou, respondent against the City of Brooklyn. Judgment nilirmod with costs. The Siofert notion was a teat caso. Frank Siofert, the plaintiff, sued to recover iSj.000 from tho city by reason of alleged negligence iu the construction of a sewer by the onlcers of the city in such manner as damaged 'plaintiff's property.

The motion of defendant to dismiss tho complaint of plaintiff upon all tho proof as not showing a c.iuso of action was granted by the trial Judge. I'pon appeal by the plaintiff to Iho General Term of the City Court this decision was reversed and a now trill granted. From this Judgment defendant appealed to tho Court of Appeals. The material facts appearing at the trial were theso: April 15, tho Legislature of tho Stato of New York passed an act "in relation to sewerage and drainage In tho City of Brooklyn.1' This net constituted the Hoard of Water Commissioners (provided for iu a previous act passed at the same session) Sowago and Drainage Commissions, with power to dovise and frame a plan of dralnago nnd sewerago of tho whole of said city upon a regular system, for ttio purpose of thoroughly draining anil carrying of water and filth propor to be carried off by sewers, for tho health andronvonieiice of the Inhabitants of sahl city. Tho plan shall show the location and direction, size ami slope of oacli drain nnd rower, whether main or lateral, and its depth below the surface and connection with other drains and sowers, and such other partli'iilars as may ho necessary and proper for the purpose of presenting a complete anil entire plan of such drainage and sewerage." Section I of this act providos that "whenever tho said Commissioners have prepared tho said plan of drainage nud sewerage, in wholo or in part, of the said City of Brooklyn, thoy shall canso public nolioo to bo given in all the nowspapors of tho City of Brooklyn that such nlan hns been filed in Iheir offlco for in spection, nnd that they will meet at a timo and placo in sal 1 cily to bo specified in said notice, not less than twenty days after tho publication of such notice, when they will re; tho views and suggestions nml objections of any parties lntorc itod in tho drainage anil sewerago in said city.

The said commissioners shall hear such parties at tho timo and plnco so specified, or at any adjourned meeting then and thcro proclaimed, and thereupon amend and correct the sumo as thoy may doem proper, and file a copy thoreof ns amouded and corrected, and duly certified by thorn, In the ofllcu of tho Street Commissioner In said city, and a similar copy in the office of the Ilogister of the County of Kings, whoreupon tho plan, or any part thereof, therein sot forth, shnl bo tho permauont plan of sower.igo of the city ol Brooklyn." By section 5 of said act it was provided that the said shall, upon the filing of the said amended and corrected plan, proceed to construct such of tho drains aud sowers therein adopted. Thoy shall cause specifications of tho work, in tho most approved form and chnractor, to bo made, and shall let the mmo out to bo dono by contract by such persons as shall best, in their Judgment, subserve tho interests of tho public and tho parties assessed." Acting undor the authority of this act tho Sewagj and Drainage Commissioners during tho year 18D!) doVlsod and constructed a sewer systom for tho district iu which plaintiff rosldod, nnd latoral branches of which passod plaintiff's premisoB. For tlvo ordinary uses of a sower, and in normal conditions of rainfall, the sowor had abundnnt capacity. For tho period of ton years aflor its construction no complaints of insufficiency wore made against It. With tho lncreasod occupation tho laud within tho Bowor district by houso3 it has in ItB usual storms been shown to bo of Insufficient capacity to dispose of tho BUdden accumulations of surfaco water In addition to its regular sowago flow, and such wator mixing with tho sewage has on exceptional occasions forced tho manholes of the sewer and flooded tho streets and cellars of tho low portion of tho sowor district in which plaintiff's houso Btood.

Plaintiff bought the property at present owned by him, January 6, 1868. In 1873 ho built the houso, damage to which and Its contents was tho subject of the action. Tho entire system of sowerage, Including nil tho laterals and storm sowers from time to time constructed, were in accordance with tho gonoral plnn of sowerngo adopted as above set forth. No faulty construction, defective material, uogilgent obstructions, or uneklilfuliiees of engineers was proved, or attomptod to bo proved, by tho plaintiff. It was not claimed that tho liability of the city rested upon anything othor than tho adoption and malutenaniB of a plan of sewer oge, discovered within tho last fow years lo bo not adequate to tho nocossitlos of a rapidly increasing population within its limits.

Tho claims of tho different parties depending upon this decision amount to between $50,000 and 160,000. Tho claim of pialntiil in tho Poillon case was for wharfage and the value of tho berth occupied by tho public bath at tho foot of Bi ldgo Btroot in 1878, 1879 and 18S0. Tho city located the bath there, but It was removed to another placo at plaintiff's request. Tho city clalmod that thore was an agreement that nothing should bo charged it In consideration of tho removal. Tho court held there was no such agreement.

Tlioro is no quostiou as to tho ownership of tho dock. About $2,000 was involved in tho case. SLAUGHTER'S CASE.

Although the shot was fired within a few foot of tho young woman, tho ball Inflicted only a scalp wound. There was little dlsputo as to tho tacts of tho shooting, tho tlmo of tho Court being mainly occupied with tho testimony for tho dofonso. Tho theory of tho defense was that when Slaughter did tho shooting ho was not responsible for his acts, that ho was in an unsound mental condition produced by a sud don abstinonco from tho uso of morphino nnd chloral. Tostimony was given by tho defendant's parents Bhowing that ho was a victim of tho morphino and chloral habit, and that ho took tho drugs in largo doses. Tho case was givon to tho Jury this afternoon.

U. I H. M. New York Aldermen Against Bridge Extension. Riikiuff up an Old And Yetocd Resolution in an Endeavor to Further Impede the Improvement Hostile Words for Brooklyn The Ifoasnro Adopted, but Mayor Grace to he Heard from.

The New York Board of Aldermen at their session this afternoon adopted a long roport from the Committeo on Parks and Lands, protesting against tho proposod extension of tho bridge across Chatham and Center streets, the bill for which is now pending In the Legislature. Tho roport cites the similar attempt mado In 1881, and reproduces In full the text of tho resolution offered by Alderman William Sauer In June of that year, and vetoed by Mayor Grace. In quoting the resolutions tho committee say: A legislative act proposed to take a strip of land about ono hundred aud sixty feet, long by thirty feet wide at the widest point on tho cast side of tho park, which includod the present Hall of lteeords. The amount propoaed to bo seized by tho blU prosontod iu tho present Legislature of this Stato, your commit toearo unable tostato. It ia clear to tho minds of your commlttoe, howovor, that not one square Inch of the land Includod In tho City Hall Park should ever be surrendered for tho purposo contemplated, or for any otner purposo apart from tho public usosof our own citizons, aud uo effort should bo spared by this Common Council to prevont the consummation of tho schome.

Your committee believes that to reproduce the preamble and resolutions adopted by tho Common Council Juuo 21, 1881, would bo all that is necessary to show the opinions held by tho representatives of the poople of this city at that time, In reBpeet to tho seizure of a portion of tho City Hall Park, and to recommend that tho present Common Council in doroe and ratify the views therein contained as being ontiroly applicable to the case, as It exists at present Hero follow the resolutions, tho chief points of which aro: Tho people of this elty should uss every legal moans to prevent this spoliation; tho Infamy of tho proposed seizure of a portion of the Commons, now tho City Hall Park, is aggravated by the fact that for tho ordinary purpoaesof travol over tbo bridge tho land to be seized is not necessary, the opon space where It terminates In Chatham Btreet, at Tryon row square, boing ample for all ordinary purposes, and tho seizure, at this time, is evidently to Rorve some ultorlor purposeone which It does not require tho aid of prophecy to divine, as tho rapid transit systom of railroads in tho City of Brooklyn will bo incomploto wlthoutan outlet In the very heart of this city. The successful operation of this scheme, and to insure large dividends to its stockholders, renders a lodgmont iu this city a necessity. The Brooklyn Bridgo Is largely the means to this end, and all that la needful to complete them is convenient terminal facilitios in this city. What more do sirable location for depots, than tho City Hall Park By this moans tho valuo of tho stock of tho Brooklyn companies will bo largoly on hanced, and land owners iu tho suburbs of Brooklyn aud tho outlying towns aud villages of Long Island will bo brought Into active competition with owners of property In this city, with a decided nd vautago iu favor of the formor, and to the lasting and Irroparablo injury to the progress of tills city in wealth and population. Not content with forcing our taxpayers to pay millions of dollars toward defraying tho cost of thoir bridge structurefor tho eolo benont of tho City of Brooklyn theso trustoos now propose to sequester some of the most valuable property within our city limits property pledged to tho bondholders of this city, in order to inflict still greater injury upon this city and Its most vital interests.

Taxpayers of New York City aud all others interested In the future progress of our Metropolis, your interests ore menaced with a now danger, and if you permit tho fruition of this neiv scheme to plunder you, tho loss will bo wholly yours. Horo follow tho Incidental ratifying resolutions ending tho document To this the committee adds a section of Judge Macoinbor's decision in the caso whoro it was attempted to romovo the Forty socoud streot reservoir without tho consont of tho city corporation, as beiug pertinent to tho case, and which prevailed, no appeal boing takon." On the strength of this tho report says that if tho Legislature should pass tho bill a similar fight can and should bo mado to savo tho Park from spoliation, and that a similar roBUlt would attend. The measure as adopted must go to Mayor Grace, who vetoed tho old resolution, as stated, and who has often expressed himself, heartily in favor of tho ong needed extonsfon. CLUBBED BY A WOMAN.

Dr. Shcpnrd and Coroner Mflnninger Think that Peter Hansen was Murdered. The Result of tho Autopsy A Letter from a Bugler. Yesterday afternoon Dr. A.

W. Shepard, at the request of Coroner Mennlnger, mado an examination of tho remains of Petor Hanson, the victim of Saturday night's shooting at Fort Hamilton. Tho object of tho autopsy was to determine whether or not tho unfortunate young man dlod by his own hand or was murdered. This man dlod instantly," said Dr. Shepard, ns he examined tho lungs.

lie novor drew anothor breath after that bullet struck hlm." The hoart, lungs aud other organs woro found to be in a healthy condition. The scalp was removed, and undor It In two or throe places wore Been patches of coagulated blood, Indicating a severe bruise from some source. Dr. Shepard inserted a small probe and traced tho bullet ontiroly through the head to the left side of the skull slightly above tho left oar. The bullet has gono clear through bis head and shattered tho skull on tho othor side," ho remarked, as the probo was withdrawn.

"That accounts for the brulso under tho scalp." Dr. Shepard bisected tho brain in search of tho bullot, but as tho knlfo passed through the soft substance something dropped with a slight splash into tho buekot of water standing under tho head. "There's the bullet," remarked tho doctor, as ho fished out of the pail a small leaden ball. This Is no sulcldo, or I'm very much mistaken. Those bul lots are by uo means the same," said he, as he compared the fatal ball with ono of thoso found in tho young man's pockets.

Tho bullot that killed Hansen Is round, blunt ball, showing only tho ride grooves formed by its passago through the pistol barrel. Those found in the dead man's pockots are almost hnlf again as long, and they nro a trifle smaller lu diameter. Tho outward evldoncea of the shooting show that tho pistol might havo been hold ot a distance of two or threo foet from tho young man's head. The hallway In which Hanson fell Is about five ftot wldo, with a door leadiug to the street. A pistol held by anyone ot eithor of tho room doors opening into the hall and fired as tho victim was passing would cause Just such a wound as was found on Hanson's head.

It looks to me like a murder," said the coroner. I bolievo it la, myself," echoed Dr. Sliopard. I nm fully convinced that that young man did not kill himself." In a card caso was found the following Iotter, which wns crumpled up, and torn in ttvo, looking as it It had been snatched from tho hands of somo one whilo it was being read.

A party of Democrats, representing tho minority or anti Knnis faction of tho ward, called upon tho Mayor to urgo tho retontion of Bernard Shovlln, who has boon a senior for tho past year or more. The visitors included William Johnson, James Fisher, Altrod Gaskell, Louis isher and Owen Dugan. Thoy eald that, although Mr. Shovlln was conncelod with tho majority or Eunls party In the ward, thoy asked his retention becausoho had been a competent and upright official. Thoy" woro happy to say, however, that party differences thoro had beon largely hoaled up, and tho Democrats proposed to make tho Fifteenth a Democratic ward.

That's good," oxclalmod tho Mayor. I (shall take your request into consideration," his Honor eontinuod, "but I want to call your attention to tho fact that tho Kastem District has boen pretty well taken care of In connection with appointments, especially tho Fifteenth Ward, (ltoforing to his selection of John EnniB, as Flro Commissioner), of courso you must not be disappointed If I should not appoint your cnhdldate as a sealer of Weights and Measures. I only mention this now, not to give you to understand that I shall not appoint Mr. Shovlln, but rather to guard against any disappointment. Some folks, you know, sometimes get disappointed.

Tho authorities ascertained that the titlo was In his wifo and consequently tho property was not exompt ltov.

Mr. Perry thereupon had It convoyed to himself and lu that way escapes. Ho visited the Corporation Counsel's office and told Mr. Greenwood that, although the houso ana lot had boon In his wife's namo, ho bollovod he really owned them. Ho bought and maintained the property and tho reason he had conveyed it to his wifo was that after his death ho did not want a lawyer's fight over It.

Ho had ten children and did not desiro to make a will. His idea had beon that If he should dlo bofore his wife, she would have the property. Now, that ho had had it convoyed to himself, he wanted to know If that act would obviate tho nocesslty of paying for tho yoars during which Mrs. Porry held title. Mr.

Greenwood roplicd that it would not. Then I suppose all I havo to do Is to step up to the captain's otllco and settle." Yes," said Mr. Greouwood, and sen for once how it feels." SIRS. BOURY'S WILL. Some Additional Evidence Offered by the CoiitcntaitlH.
