Also a bill authorizing tho use of vitrified earthen pipes In Now York and Brooklyn for drainage and water purposes. THE BOARD OF ALDBR3IGN. Local Improvements The Eureka Basin Company's Scheme The i'iro Bcllu.

Thero was little business of interest transacted at tho meeting of tho Board of Aldermon yestorday. In addition to the matters reported in tho Eaole of last evouing, thero woro tho following: At tho instance of Aid. Coffey tho sum of $175 was nddod to tho appropriation of to enable tho City Works Commissioner to contract for a stable at the pipe yard, Portland avenue. Tho City Works Commissioner was authorized to advertise for proposals for tho eoiiBimetiou of a sower in tluornsoy stroet, botween M'esorolo nnd Nassau avonues, and for a sower in Yornon avonuo, betwoen Lowis avonuo and Broadway, the necessary ono third of tho cost having been paid in. Tho owners of proporty on Cooper avonuo, be tweon Evergreen and Bushwickavonuos, aroauthor ized to construct a sower at their own exponso, tho work to bo dono under tho supervision of tho Department of City Works.

Aid. Coffey's resolution (publlshod yosterday) calling for tho repeal of tho law of 1884 closing streets from Twonty slxth to Thirty seventh stroot, beyond high wator mark, was adoptod. Tho Board, on motion of Aid. McGrath, requested tho Kiugs County members of the Legislature to tiso all honorable moans to defeat the bill now before the Legislature to onablo tho Eureka Basin Co. to construct a basin In parts of tho Fourteenth, and Seventeenth wards.

This scheme was fully oxplainod in tho Sunday Eaqlb in connection with the report of a mcoting In the Seventeenth Ward, at which ex Sonator Domas Strong was rather roughly troalod because of his advocacy of it. The Committoo on Tublic Lnnds and Buildings reported a resolution In favor of soiling the old Fire Department repair yard at Myrtle avenue and North Elliott place and Betting aside the proceeds of the sale for the establishment of a repair yard at Canton and Bolivar streets, where the city owns proporty. The Board directed tho Fire Commissioner to causo all the Are bells in tho city to bo rung for Are alarms. Thoro are but two of those Are bells loft one at tho City BaU aud the othor in tho Fourteenth Ward towor. CIGAR MANUFACTURERS.

Forming; a Protective Association for ffintunl Help For some weeks a movement has been on foot among the oignr manufacturers of Brooklyn looking to the organization of a protective association which shall conserve the interests of the trade. Two or throe moetings havo boen held. Tho work wao perfected last night at a mooting hold In Saen gerbund Iiall, Smith and Schormorhorn streets, when a permanent organization was effoctod and officers chosen. Among tho ovlls complained of Is tho unevoiiness of tho wagoa paid. Tho manufacturers who are uniting in tho movement are most of them Interested iu shops employing comparatively few bauds, and thoy say tho wages patd are not uuitarm.

It la proposod to romedy this evil. Thoy aro willing to operate In unison with iho CIgarmakora' Union aud tho Knfghts ol Labor, but thoy object to the tenoment houso system and propose to do what hoy can to broak up tho business. he meeling was called to order at by Mr. Joseph Kohlor, the temporary chairman, who stated the purposes of tho gathering. Ilo said tho i formation ot an organization by ttie mamiiacturors I would bo a benelll to tho trade, and by working to I gutbor Ihoy could redress grievances and roniovo I dtfliculties more rapidly and more onielontly than when working Individually.

Mr. li. F. Tunion, the secretary, read tho minutes I of tho previous mooting, hold which were i duly approved. The chairman said the noxt step would bo to I form a permanent orgaub ation.

Mr. 1'. J. Sullivan moved that tho gentlemen form thoinsolvos into the Cigar Protective Association of Brooklyn. Tho motion was adopted and the name3 of those presont woro takoh to form tho nucleus of tho association.

Sullivan moved tho election of Mr. Kohlor, tho tomporary chairman, as president of tho assooln tion. Air. Kohlor said that ho would prefer that aonie ono else should bold tho office, but he was willing to do what ho could in iho position if thoy thought best to select him. Mr.

Kohlor was unanimously oleetod. Ilo thanked tho association for the honor. I'. .1. Sullivan was oloctod vico president, K.

F. Tunion secretary and 11. Montauus treasurer. Tho chairman said thoro was ono thing to which ho desired to call thoir attention: Tho trade had been called upon rocontly by tho operatives to pay a scale of pricos with which he thought tho employers could uoi find any fault in the muin. Thoro wore somo manufacturers, however, wfio had their goods made in tenoment houses, ilo was informed that thoro woro throe or four of those concorns in full blast in tho Eastern District.

It was against the goods thus produced that thoy should contend. Whilo tho members of tho association could compete with goods fairly made, they could not compoto with tenomont house olgars. Tho latter were a class of goods which should bo drlyon from tho market. Mr. J.

Abrahams said he wa hoartily glad to hear tho chairman thus express himself upon this topic. The way lu which tho evil could be com batted was by employing Union cigar makers in tlio shops. They did not work in tene ment houses. Mr. Sullivan thought the Board of Health should bo called to the subject of tonemont houso cigar making.

It was a mothod of manufacture which was unhealthy and llnblo to produco disease. llirsch thought the matter should rest until the association had secured a larger organization, lie though; the first slop should be tho appoiut mont of a committee to secure signatures among tho Brooklyn manufacturers. Ho moved the ap pointmont of a committeo for that purpose. Carried. The chairman thought every gentleman present should be upon that committeo.

Ho said ho would appoiul all those present as the committeo. Ho would take charge of Iho Utstoru District himself. Mr. Zarzr. said he would look after the Spanish and Cuban manufacturers of tho city.

Mr. Sullivan moved that any griovanco nxistlng botwoou employer and employes shall bo submitted to tho association. Then, if necessary, they could consult the union. Tho motion was unanimously. The meeting adjourned for one week.

Tho following gentlemen signed tho roll of tha association: Joseph Ko ler, M. llirsch, K. T. Tunion, P. I.

Sullivan, Valentine Korno, H. Montanus, M. Abrahams. C. Davidson, Benjamin Davidson, C.

Chalrmau! I thought that this was a mcoting of hod carrlors. Look at tho dudo that have JuBt come iu." On motion of ono of the laborers the room was cloarod and a sergeant at arms appointed to admit none but mombors. Tho chairman said if the reportors had any business to transact they could remain. When the newspaper men had returned to their soats James Watt, a representative of Typographical Union No. fi, was introduced and From tlio uthormost point eastward of the Uuilod States to tho furthermost point westward, aud from tbe northernmost point to southernmost limit, aud iu tho towns and hamlets of neighboring Canada, thoro Is scarcely a man to day who has not heard or read of tho wonderful results that havo accrued from the wise, beneficent, patriotic endoavors of self sacrificing men in all tho quarters aud throughout the wbolo of our common laud and common country to tnako more equal tho burdens thai all are called upon to meet.

That noblo ordor, tho Knighu3 of Labor upplausej has sont out its agonts openly In somo casos, covertly in most, and much wisdom lias boon displayed by the Hxeeu Livo Committeo headed by Torjuce Powdorly, genorai master workman, who is so ably seconded by Frederick Turner, general secretary. Thoro hud been during the year ending with last Decombor 359 strikes avoided by the effective work done by tho Knights of Labor: thoir succoBsful effort lias stirred up other organizations, who think thoy can stand alone and uu aidod iu tho grand bnltlo that is now going on, tho battle that will intensify, aud grow more to culminate in the yiolding to the working classes propor wagos for thoir day's work, freo from the necessity of bowing the knee in ordor to get employment, or waiting tho bohost aud ploasuro of thoso who are reaping tho lion'B share, and the workingman must have his duo, and iu tho end, he is bound to win the good light. Wo wish to enlist you among tho Knights of Labor. Send your delegates to tho General Labor Union and if any one come from outside, no mattor whethor ho is a laboror or not, and you have a grievance against him, the United States of America will stand by you and support your rights. Applause.

The chairman said that tho Laborer's Union would not Join tho Kulghta of Labor at present. Tho hod carriers, he continued, aro gottlng $2.75 a day and aro perfectly eatisnod. FOURTH WARD DEMOCRATS.

President John W. Walker occupied the chair. John LI. Martinhoff, of tho Finance Committee, reported having collected $30 for tho expanses of the association. Mr.

James Kyau, chairman of tho Investigating Committoe, said that that body could not report any progress because the men who proposed the names did not give sufficient Information for the committee to act upon. Mr. Karrell said he thought it wob about time tho Investigating Committeo was thrown out and competent men appointed. There wero over Qfty names on tho list of propoBOd mombers, he said, that had been on the applicants list throe, four, or fivo months. Tho committoe had made no report Whatover since they wero appointed.

John McKeown moved that the Investigating Committoe bo discharged further sorvfee at tho next meotiug, provided It did not In tho meantime mako a full report of all names now In Its hands. The motion was carried. Mr. McKeown offered tho following resolution: ffrsnfrftl, Thnt the nanos of nowly electod mem bors who fall to qualify within throo monthB bo stricken from tho roll. The resolution was adopted.

Two propositions for membership woro offered and tho mooting adjourned. NOT THE BODY OF A. E. WALRADT. The corpse Found at Port Jefferson Wot Vetldcntiflod.

THE WRECK OF THE OREGON. Story of Chief Officer Matthews No Time to Avoid the Collision A Suicide. Chief Officer William Georgo Matthows, of tho Oregon, yostorday mado tho following atatomont to th'6 'agqnt of tho Cunard Com pajiy I wqnt'on watch at 4 A. M. The night was' dark, but tho weather waa tolerably clear.

It was starlight. Thoro waa no moon out at that timo. Thoro wero no signs of daylight in tho east. The fourth olllcer, Mr. McMurray was on tho watch with mo on the othor sido of tho bridge.

Ho wos on tho port aide and I was on tho Btarboard. Thoro wero throo men on the lookout; two of them were on the turtleback, as far as possible forward, and tho other was ou tho fore part of the promenade deck. This lost man was an extra lookout. It wns his duty to carry orders from the brldgo to tho forward watch. The colliaion took placo at about 4:30.

This is as noar ns I can fix the time. I did not look at the time and only Judge by clrcumstancos. Tho first intimation I had of the proximity of another vossol was a bright light which appoarod suddenly ono point on the port bow. It appoarod to bo a bright light flrst held up and then dropped downward again. It wao movod quickly and I tried to mako out tho boat.

I took it to be a pilot boat, and knowing that tho captain was not going take a pilot boat until we got to tho bar I put the helm hard aport I was not worried by the light. I assumed the light to bo swung by a man standing on the vossol, and I am sure it waa not In the rigging. Tho fourth officer, on the side of tho boat nearest to tho light, callod out first and thon I looked ovor to port and saw tho light. The lookout mon say that they reported tho light the same time that it was seen from the brldgo and thoy callod out: 1 A bright light a littlo ou tho port There was no light no colored light, I mean on tho mast I thought her maathoad light was out From what I saw and tho way the light was wavod I got tho idea that tho vossol was thoro without a light, aud that when the lights of tho stoamer were discovorod by thoso ou board aomo ono grabbod tho flrst light handy and waved it as a warning to keopoff. I could form no idea of the distance tho white light was away.

Tho steamer did not change her course after tho holm was put hard aport before the collision took placo. "Tho sailing craft was so closo to tho stoamor whon fifBt sighted that before tho ship could anawor her helm the stoamer was struck. It was utterly impossible to chango the courso of a vessol of tho Blzo of tho Oregon In the small Bpace of time. The order was givon to chango tho holm by word of mouth, ami the helmsman, who was standing closo by, oboyod. I could not boo tho sails of this vossol whon I saw tlio light and did notaoo tliat slie had sails until she wa9 on tho point of striking.

I had not the slightest idea when 1 first saw the light that thero wos going to bo a collision. I could not toll from the light whothcr she was moving or not or at anchor. Thero was an ubsetiee of tho regulation light. Pilot boats do not carry regulation or sido lights. This is the custom tuid it onaulos ihom to be distinguished from other vessels.

This vossol looked like a schooner. I could not tell the number of masts. Thoro may have been three: thero woro certainly two. She was fore nud alt rigged aud that is how I knew her to bo a schooner. Tho collision then look place.

Tho schooner struck a fow foot forward of the Tho ship did not hoot ovor lu the least and thero wa3 no very great shock. I have not tho slightest Idea atwhat anglo tlio schooner struck. I could not make out her course at all, because sho came up so suddenly. as soon as we were struck I gave orders to stop tlio engiuos. The ouginos stopped at onco and tho holm wob still kept hard npon nnd tho 3hip was coming around.

1 wanted to find out what had become of the schoouor. Wo had only gone a little distance when Captain Cottier camo on tho bridge. Word was passed along Ironi forward that tho ship was making wator rapidly. Meantime I looked all around for the schonnor, but could soe nothing of hor. Although it wos a dark morning it was cloar.

It was darker to tho west than to the east, because thero was a slight haze in the oast that Indicated tho rising sun. 1 heard no shouts or cries and saw no signs of life save the swinging light which appeared only for a second or two. Aftor the steamor got away from the vessel I did not soo horagaln. Thore was no boat lowered to go to tho schoouor. It was not considered necessary for tho reason that the stoamor was making toward tho spot whore tho schooner was last seen faster than any boat could go.

None of the crew were on tho deck at the timo save those who belonged thore, nnd I did not soo any passengers at all until aftor we wero struck. "I have had oxporionco with vossols of the Oregon's size for throe years, and have beon In tho Cunard service for eleven years. I hold a first class master's certificate. I held the position of chief officer of tho Oregon. This was my fourth voyage In her; before that I was In the Sorvin as chiof ofllcor for five voyages.

Thore was not tho slightest Insubordination shown by the crow iu my presence in any part of the ship. I think the way in which the boats woro handlod Bhows most positively that thero was no disobedience on tho part of tho crow. 1 superintended putting out tho two forward boats, or captain's boats, to port and starboard. I have no idea how long it took to lowor tho boots. Thoy woro only swung free, and wore not put In tho water then.

It wns not known thon that tho vossol would sink, and tho lowering of tho boats waa only a matter of precaution, know what tho condition of the boats was. There can ho no doubt about thoir being in the moBt perfeot order. The ship was thoroughly equipped with boats and rafts, and carried hor full complement I did not leave the bridge from tho time I went on the watch until the captain came, whon he assumed command. I am 46 years old, and have followod the sea for twenty years." The valuo of tho vossol Is plocod at $1,250,000 and sho waa insured in English companies aud the reserve fund of the Cunard Lino. Hor cargo consisted of a numbor of small but valuable lotB, amounting in all to about $500,000.

This was also insured. The personal baggage of nearly 200 cabin passengors and 400 second and third class could not have boon much undor $150,000, which altogothor foots up to a total of $1,000,000. The cargo included several boxes of precious stones, Bovoral of clathlag, rolla of Oriental carpets, sots of machinery, otc. A CI.EltOYMAN JUMPS OVERBOARD. About sovon o'clock Thursday morning Rev.

Tho iPcmocrnts of Kings County are much in want of a public building in which to hold meetings and conventions. Music Hall, which has hitherto beou available, has boon 60ld, and its new ownor wiil take possession May 1. Tho Athenoum, on the corner of Clinton street and Atlantic avonue, la not conveniently located, and is not suitablo for othor reasons. Since tho sale of Music Hall tho advisability of obtaining a new building has beon thoroughly discussed by leading Democrats of tho city. At tho noxt mooting of the committeo tho subjoct will be brought up in tho shape of a proposition to appoint a committee to report on a suitable location for the erection of a building.

Tho project has mot with such gonulno favor among the Doniocrnts who have considered iho mattor that there la littlo doubt 'that the General Committee will entor heartily Into it. The building as now talked up will be located ou ono of tho sldo stroots In the neighborhood of the City Hall. Tho ground Door can bo rented for storo purposes and the main hall, whon not used for committee purposes, can bo rented for entertainments. The structure will he about 75x100 and the cOBt of its erection la to bu raised by Issuing bonds for $100 each, bearing 5 pei cent interest. A sufficient numbor of Democrats have already expressed thomsolvos as willing to toko tho bonds, to insure the erection of tho building, if tho project moots with the approval of the Domocrats, as oxprossod by tho (Voueral Committeo.

Tho Kings County Democratic Club, originally composed of tho gentlemen ivho went to Washington to attend tho Inauguration of President Clove land, has boon favored with an unusual degree of prnsportlty, and now contemplates the purchase ot a building exclusively for club purposes. The pres ent membership of tho club is 300 and the limit of membership Is fixed at 500. Inasmuch as tho mombers of the club represent every ward in tho city, nnd ore oil known as activo and hard workerB nt tho polls, tho organization is looked upon as a u.impotout offsot to the Kopubllenti League. Tho building which tho Kings Couuty Democratic Club proposes to orect is also to be loeaiod In tho vicinity of tho City Hall, and. will contain reading and committeo rooms and reception parlors, with all tho othor concomitants of a first class club home.

Tho llopnhlicaus havo done uothing as yot toward aocurlng a proper building lu which to hold meetings and conventions. Tho next meeting of the lle publlcau Gonoral Committoo will bo hold In Minlo Hall, and as tfiat will probably bu the last meeting of tho committeo until tho Fall, no steps will bo taken to secure a building until after the Summer.

Testimony as to the Manufacture or Artificial Grinders and the Poisons which Enter Into the Composition of the Rubber Plates Opposition Dentists Accusing Each Other Mrs. Braden's Ruined Face.

The $50,000 damage suit against Dentist David Lougenecker, referred to in yesterday's Eagle, was commonood in tho Circuit Court yesterday afternoon, boforo Justice Brown. In the court room woro arrayed on either sido many physicians, sur geons and dentists, whom it is expoctod will be called ot; one sido or the other of tho caso. Among these was Dr. CL, Jc hnsou, tlio vetoran export, whose anxioty for tho causo ho espoused led to two unoxpocted Incidents. Duriug tho examination of the plaintiff, Mrs.

Minnlo Bradon, sho was asked to display hor alTectod cheek to tho jury. As sho uncovered it. Dr. Johnson got as near ns possible, and planted himself betwoen tho witness nnd tho Jury. Mr.

Mirabeau L. Towns protested, Dr. JohnBon Insisted that he was not In tho lino of view, and Judge Brown seemed porploxed. Tho doctor refused to budge, and Mr. Towns doclined to proceed with tho examination.

Judgo Brown, who is ono of the least of sovore sticklers for tho rigid observance of tho formal etiquette of tho Supromo Court, did not seem to liko to ask the doctor to move, nor did ho display any eagornoss to decldo as an oxpert, whether Dr. Johnson's head was In tho way or not Howevor, out of consideration for tho dilemma of the court, tho doctor movod away. But in moving ho walked round to the witness stand, and proposed to examine the witness then aud thoro. Who has callod tho doctor?" nshed Air. Towns.

Evidently the court hadn't, and Mr. Joseph Korean, for the defendant, did not reply. I thought I might make an examination, remarked the intrudor, apologetically. That may bo whon you are callod, sir," replied Mr. Towns.

"At present you are not in the casa that I know of, and you must get out ot that" The doctor got out. During the testimony of auothor physician Counselor Maronn based his cross examination on tha pathological points on suggestions mado by Dr. Johnson. This the witness resented, and once or twico suggested that couusol should ask Dr. Johnson for replies to his own conundrums.

In opening his cose Mr. Towns outlined tho testimony ho should offer. He proposed to show thai George Bradou, tho Fulton street trunk maker, made a deal with David Lnngenockor, tho Fultou streot dentist, whereby tho party of tho flrst part bound himsolf to deliver a certain trunk In exchange for a set of upper teotb for Mrs. Braden.tobo supplied by tho party of the second part. Tho rubber plato in which tho teoth woro sot was poisonous, Injured Braden's mouth dud led to tho dlsflg uromont for which Bho buob for damages.

The flrat witness called waa the plaintiff, a plump little woman, with snappy black eyes, whose testimony waa aa followa, In aubstauoe: Her age, alio said, was 28 years; sho waa married and had two children. Sho made the acquaintance of dentist David H. her husband, Georgo Broden, a trutik maker, of 621 Fulton street In tho Summer of 1883 sho went to the dentist to havo an impression taken for an upper set of teelh. He made a set fixed in rubber plate. It was too loose.

Hhe returned It to him, and ho agreed to make another sot. This other set was also too largo. It would fall out of hor mouth while sho was conversing with people. The don list took auotber impression, and mado another set This was so tight that it pained tier and Bho returned and told him so. Ilo replied that uew tooth always hurt moro or loss at first But ho took the plate anil filed off the rubbor whore It had pressed her gum aud told her to porsovero with It.

A lew days Inter she returned and told him that hor mouth was sore and swelling. He advised hor to go to a doctor; tho B.imo time taking a lnnce and opening an abeoss iu the mouth, lie lanced it threo times, hut ns it got no belter she consultod Dr. ileasley, of 152 Tompkins avenue, fiho had boen perfectly healthy all her life, and had given birth to a child since hor face became (Hore tho witness was asked to uncover hur faco and it presented shocking speciuclo. All tho loft aide, including the noso tu an inch beyond tho eye, was eaton away.) Tho episode In which Dr. Johnson figured, stated took tho witness.

Cross examined There is a slight suppuration from tho wound Her teoth wore drawn by Mr. Ileal in the spring of 18S3, and the gums woro quite healed when sho wont to see Dr. I.ongeuecker in August. At the time sho suffered no pain in her tooth, gums, or faco. Hoth tho first two sots mode seemed to bo made of the samo material as the set produced.

They only made her mouth soro in ono spot, between the gum and cheek, where the artificial teeth wero against the ilosh. Sho had the third set of teeth in March, 1881, and noticed the pain on the following day. t'ho woro tho teeth while bor mouth was swelling as long as sho could, until an abscess began to form. Mr. Iiougeuocker lanced the abscess about two or throe weeks after tho third set of teeth was fixed iu tho mouth.

did not wear them after that. The sore broke through tho face about tlio following September, and sinco that time it hod continued to spread ovor the cheek. Never had a piece of oono workout and thrown off through tho outside of Iter face. Ko dlreet by Mr. Towns Mr.

Lougeuocker took the impression of her mouth with hot wax and plaster of Paris. (Further questions iu this direction wero excluded by the Court, as was au offer to prove the unworkmanlike way in which the impression had been mado.) Dr. Hoasloy testified that in March, 18S3, the plaintiff came to consult him for trouble in tho mouth. Ho saw remains of an alviolar abscess which would correspond with tho place whore tho piece was filed out of the rubber plato. Ho had examined the plato producod, aud found it composod of rubber aud mercuric sulphide, a poison.

Tho plaintiff was suffering from inflammation caused by somo irritant Ills opinion was thai, it was the result of the alviolar abscess. Cross oxaminod Hor ailment had not thon developed as it has now. Had tho plate boen of wood or iron tho irritation might havo produced tho condition of her face as ho first saw It He had mado a superficial examination of Mrs. Braden's faco, and concluded that hor malady was lupsus or cancer. Tho matorials of which tho plato In question was composed wero sulphide of mercury and rubbor.

Ilo did not think, if tha mercury wassop aratod from tho rubber, there would bo enough to iujuro a porson It administered In one dose. Vulcanized rubber, as used by dentists, is not an article of commerc but Is prepared by dentists. Hodirect: Itisnoreptod by the medical profession that cancer or lapsus may start in a bruise. Cancer doos uot usually dovolop In a porson 28 years of age. Mrs.

Bradon'a blood soomod to bo pure and she nppoarcd to have been healthy. Itooross: In his opinion thoro was nothlng'syphi lltlc lu this troublo. Dr. Mark A. Hroughton, physician and doutlst, of Fulton streot, examined tho plato.

He saf it was called red rubber and was composed of 3i jrts of sulphide of mercury (vermilion), 48 parts of" rubber and t'4 parts of sulphur. He would be ashamed to turn out a plato like the ono iu question, which soomod to bo composod of tho very commonest material. (The question as to whether tho plate was mado in a workmanlike manner was excluded.) Such a plato as tho ouo iu question would cause a softening of tho membrane of the mouth by reason of the mercury, which mado othor and further conditions, such as tne malady in quos. ion, possible. In pink rubber platos thore is 10 per rent, of poisou, but In black rubber plates there is Cross o.vamined: His place of business was op posito Dr.

Tho dentist melts tho pieces of rubbor, moulds the plait aud affixes the teeth. Dontists do not add anything to the rubbor, poison or otherwise, lie advertised to make tooth for a sot, but he generally used black ruhbor. When ho used red rubber lie told his pat louts it was poisonous.

Once lie made a sot for a New York lady of rod ruhbor and sho was poisoned aud talkod of suing him for damages. In thesu casea the mercury oozes oul and sofums tho bono nnd the tissue of the roof of iho mouth and causes salivation aud tho breaking away of the hone. Hud novor used that material since his lady patient was injured. he lirect 1 ho red rubber inJl mos the mucous mcmWane, tho piate, and the tlesh absorbs th? poison. Dr.

Arnold Stub, M. testified that he had seen Mrs. llraden in March, lWl. Her mouth was swo Ion, and tho trouble seemed to bo an alviolar abscess His opinion was that the presoneo of the artificial teeth caused the abscess. Dr.

The Junior Bennett and tho Herald. Life of the Proprietor at Home and Abroad. The younger Bennett was born an editor. He wasn't an hour old when his namo was put at tho editorial head of the Herald. Day by day, while rocking In hut oradle or.

carried in the arms of his nurse, ho was announced as the Junior editor, and wonderful things were prophesied of his editorial caroor, Young Bennett, as wo stated In our last, was born New York, May 10, 1841, and Is therefore now 45 yoars of ago. His father died Juno 1, 1872, and the son was then 81. Fourteen years have elapsed sinco the founder of tho Herald died. Groat as tho paper was then it was but a pigmy to the present giant Threo or four yoars before his death a quadruple sheet had boen published, and It was nearly a year aftor his death, March SO, 1873, before tho quadruplo had a supplement It was mora than a year after his death when, In July, 1873, tho first special lightning train to Saratoga was run. It was noarly flvo years aftor his death whon, March 22, 1876, the flrst local weather predictions were published.

It was about five years after his death, when, In April, 1876, a qulntuplo shoot appeared, and now wo havo a sextuple. It was elnco his death that Stanley was sent out to And Livingstons; that tho Joannotte expedition waB sent to tho Arctic region that the Irish relief was dlBpatched that the Mackay and Bennett ca blo was sot throbbing beneath the Atlantic When panic and famine came upon New York in 1874, and thousands woro suffering from hunger he opened soup kitohonB for the multitude and fed thorn with food prepared by no meaner caterer than Delmonlco. Whon famine camo on tho country of his mother, In 1882, his simple subscription was $100,000, which swelled Into princely proportions as tho Bennett fund, the distribution of which ho at first Intrusted to a oommltteo consisting of Colonel King Harman, Mr. Shaw, Professor Baldwin, Cardinal McCIoskoy and Charlos Stewart Parnell, but finally falling chiefly under the care of Dr. Hep worth, ono of tho present editors, assisted by Lady Churchill and Prlnoe Arthur.

When Cuba undertook to rebel againBt her rulers the omnipresent Herald men were thero, seeking information beneath tho shadow of tho gallows, one of them, J. J. O'Kelly, now member of the British wh030 called to Washington and set tho submarine wires thrilling with protests which saved his life. The sight of tho Polynia or Namouna always brightens Nowport bay. His houso 13 called tho "stone villa." Ho bought It for $68,000.

It la opposite tho Casino, which owes Its exiBtonco to him. His grounds are decorated with marblo statuary from Italy. His octagon dining room was a Bceno of perpetual hospitality, and from his chair oloctric bolls communicate with the cooks and servants and hi friends order what they desire by day or night His servants even his ohambermalds are men. His yacht rivals his house In hospitality, and Is rich in all articles of retlno mont and utility. Tho wealth of plato Is his own and the choice wluoa aro from Ms own abounding collar.

Though frequently riding in a village cart, hired for tho occasion, he has plenty of horses and carriages. Fifteen or twonty carriage horses and phaeton ponios buBldo his oight or ten polo ponieB wore in his stablos. Ilo has all sorts of oarriages, drags and carts some drawn by six horaos, others by Blngle ponies. He is seldom ac compauled by a servant, except an occasional lord orduko. Uls mail and telegraph communications come by the cart load.

Wherever he Is, whether at Nowport, Baden, Paris or In Africa he Is in telephonic or telegraphic communication with tho Herald, and ovory night he knows what will bo In tho next morning's Herald. Ho tolographs and cables business directions and editorials. Every day ho receives a copy of his paper with the names of the writers of ovory article from the longost editorial to tho shortest news item. He knows what everybody on the paper is doing and what he is paid. In roviowlng tho history of the Herald Richo Ilou can hardly help recurring to hia boyish pride on boing a prominent writer for that paper forty olghtyoars ago.

He waa thou a sophomore lu Yale College and tho young students vory gouernlly indulged In tho porusal of its columns. Richelieu" wrote sketches of every day life In Yale College undor different signatures. Rlngo" was tho principal signature, but ho wroto also under the pseudonyms of "Leila," "Quamdurus," "Quldnunck" and some othor harsher names, under which ho got up a long controversy iu tho Herald ovor tho comparative merits of the beautiful women of Now Haven, Newburgh, Poughkeepsie and Newark, now these letters were relished by the Herald may be soon by any one who will turn to the issue of that paper of August 20, 1838, whoroa lotter from Ruigo" is publlshod In leaded typo in the first editorial oolumn, extending to noarly two columns, Introduced by an editorial puff commencing, Wo flatter ourselves that our account of tho Commencotnout at Yale College is tho best that will bo published in New York." At that time trying to pay for his education by his pon, ami tho Herald was paying liberally for its correspondence, but he never sent iu any bill and of courso uovor was paid. Soma yoars afterward, when tho younger Bonuott was a flno looking boy of six or ooven years, running around tho National Hotol in Washington, tho older Bennett employed Richelieu to write some extra sketches of Congressional proceedings, for which ho was liberaUy paid. Mr.

Bonnott has a staff of writers under him chief among them may be considered Charlos Nordhoff. Ho is a vigorous wrltor. In youth ho followed tho Boa and afterward wrote sea stories. Ho has boenconuocted with tho Jiveitincj Post and Tribune. He baa travelod oxtonBivoly, obsorvod closely and written graphically of what ho has seen.

He crossed tho plains to California in a splendidly equipped private car, nnd sketched what ho saw for Harper's Weekly. He also publlshod a book on California, and is tho author of sovorol other useful works. During the sittings of Congress ho has charge of the Washington Bureau of tho Herald, and Is familiar with tho promluent men of this country. Ho has a private wire from Washington to Now York, by which ho Bonds not only special uowb but also oditorials. Ho has a houso In Washington, and his wife is an excellent woman and an ornament to society.

Whon not at Washington ho rosidos at Knglewood, In Now Jersoy. The liovorond Doctor Georgo II. Hepworth writes many if not most of the loading editorials. Ho haB boen a noted clorgymau aud an oloqueut proacher.

Ho was lormorly pastor of the Church of the DlBclplos, in Madison avonue, In which ho was predecessor of Dr. Newman. He wroto a book which ho quaintly entitled "7" His sermons now aro generally proachod through the columns of the Herald to a larger congregation than ho ever nssomblod In Newark or Madison avonuo. Ho wroto the articles which appeared somo timo ago in tho Sunday Herald undor the head of Chat by tho Way." Albert G. Brown Is another editorial wrltor, generally on politics.

I think he is a Massachusetts man, was formerly on tho Boston press and is a son of Harvard. Ilo was for some timo managing editor of tho A'ew York Eveninfl Post, nud was also on tho Telegram. Ho was for a timo tho Herald correspondent at Albany. He has traveled extensively la Mexico aud Central America. Gardner G.

Williams was connected with this department and bocamo prominent in the contest with, Iho nowsdoalora on the reduction of the price from throo to two cents. Ho was for a time compositor on tho Herald, Times and Tribune. He saw rough service In tho war with Sheridan, Huntor and Avorill. Ilo managed tho poor children's excursions and dispensed the Herald fund for tho sufferers from tho Ohio floods. His health prevents his usual activity as a Journalist Iu all thore are Bomo twenty odltors and many reporters.

On tho Herald, in odltlng, reporting and press work, thero is an army of men of six or seven hundred. I havo said nothing of tho Telegram, tho evonlng edition of tho nerald, now so ably managed by Robert G. Morris, Esq. I bollovo It was originally founded to initiate the young editor Into tho mysteries of Journalism. If I remombor rightly, somo time before Mr.

Bonnott's death ho announced young Bonnott as associate editor with htmsolf of the Herald, but aftor a timo tho name was withdrawn and "James Gordon Bonnott, odltor and proprietor," wos restored and bo remalnod. Mr. Bennett, I think, never graduated at any collogo. Mrs. Bennett spent much of her time in Europe and gave her children tho best education.

There were three children; ono girl died In early life; the othor, Miss Joannotte, married Isaac Bell, son of Isaao Bell, a distinguished citizen of Now York. Young Bell Is now Unltod States Minister Rosidont at tho Hague, and his oharming wife worthily represents our country at the Court of tho King of tho Netherlands. RicitRi.tun. BEAT HIS LITTLE SISTER.

Worth of Buildings Authorized in March. Details of Some of the Work flew Houses and Alterations. The month of March, so far as it has elapsed ehows good steady average work in tho Building Department and givos promiso of not falling below March of last yoar, If Indeed it dooB not surpass It. Up to tho presont timo pormitB have been granted for 143 new buildings of which 98 aro brick and 47 frame, with a total valuation of $776,630. This, it may bo obsorvod, is but somo $65,000 less than tho valuation of all the buildings for which permits woro granted in the month of February, aud yet February was a good month for tho building trade.

Tho new buildings of March comprise 85 prlvato residences, somo of whioh are of an oxponsivo class aud will, whon completod, be ornaments to tho city. The total numbor of families which will be accomodated with house room in tho now buildings of March will bo 283.

The Young Now Yorker Botdns Carelesslj, but Eecoyers Lost Ground Malono Gets no Chanco on the Last Six Games. The great pool match between Albert M.

Frey, of New York, ond J. L. Maloue, of Chicago, began last evening In Maurice Daly's billiard parlor, on Washington street. Or rather It bogan in a pleasant, privato room Just off the main billiard room. This privato room was filled with tiors of Boats surrounding the table and nil laBt evonlng about 150 gentlemen sat iu thoso seats and.

vfatCjhod tho progress of what provod to' bitlje'flnost'ipli playing that Brooklyn has over soon. It was Just flftoon miuutos past' eight when Maurice Daly enterod the room and with tendor care removed the green cloth from the table. That article thus revoalod provod to bo absolutely now with Immaculate greon baize cloth as lovol ond smooth as a shoot of glass. Whon Mr. Daly had uncovered the table he Introduced tho players to the spectators and announced that the roferoo was to bo Horry Wharton, a well known Brooklyn pool player, and that the match was to be pyramid pool, call gamoa to laat flvo nights, tho man flrst getting sixteen games to bo the winner of each night's play.

Frey Is Bmall, slight, light haired and young looking, with a cream comploxlonand finely formod features whlcn suggested self control and intelligence. His face is strikingly strong. He does not appear to be more than 20 years of ago. Malono Ib about 32 years of age. Ho stands above medium height and Is a well formod, good looking man, woll balauced mentally and physically.

Tho mon havo mot sevon times aud Froy has won four matches out of tho sevon. Malono, howover, boat him and all othor competitors at tho groat tournament In Now York two years ago. Froy flrst began to scoro, putting tho 8 ball into the sixth pocket at the upper end of the table, then tha 14 In third pockot, then tho 10 in tho socond pocket in the middle of the table; then ho played for safety, having got everything which lay outsido the pyramid. Malono followod and drove the 3 ball to tho 6 pocket There was nothing olso to play for and so ho shot for safety, but failing to play hard enough did not hit a cushion and had to spot tho ball ho had already mado. Both mon shot for safety on tho noxt Inning, but again Malone loft Froy a shot, albolt It was from "ond to end of tho tnblo.

Frey took tho chanco and left a ball right in front of tho cornor pockot. Malono sent this in and split tho pyramid on hla return from the cushion. He mado Bomo rathor protty ahotB, ploying for position as woll as to score. Thon he, too, tripped and loft Froy a dead sure shot at a corner pocket The balls lay beautifully for Frey, and ho ran the game out on simple Bbots. Froy got a beautiful chanco on tho socond gamo.

All tho balls wore scattered for him, yot he tripped ovor a shot which an amateur would havo despised. Malono did Iho same thing when his turn camo, and Frey got one or two balls to his credit and thon clipped up again ou an easy ono. Malono pluckod up courage and finished tho game. Frey, 1 Malono, 1. Malono got tho on the third gamo and had flvo balls iu the pockot boforo Frey scored ono.

Thon Malono struck hard luck. He put two more balla in the pocket and had to spot them both, for on the Beventh ball tho cue ball itself went lu. Froy did precisely tho stun thing in his shot, and then, as tho balls wero bunehod from much spotting, Malono playod for safoty. Ho failed to got It and Frey ran the game out. Frey, Malone, 1.

Tho fourth gamo oponod as cautiously ns tho others had dono and it took six innings for oaoh of tho mon to finish. Froy missod beautiful chances on tho fifth and sixth tunings and Malono ran the game oul. Frey, Malone, 2. Up to this poriod nothing particular had boon do volopod In regard to tho play, except thnt oach man was playing so norvously that an ordinary amateur could havo boatou them if ho had played iu usual form. Frey got the fifth gamo in five innings aud Malone captured the sixth before Froy got a ball at all.

F'roy, Malono, 3. Malono broko for the sovonth gamo and Froy took a long shot nnd pockotod tho cue ball. The balls lay woll togothor aud oach man playod for safety onco. Thon Froy bagged two balls a nd slipped up on a third. Malono followod and run the gamo out Malono, Froy, Malone gotting tho load hore for tho flrst timo.

Malono shot ahead, now playing a steady game and evidently froo from tho norvousnoss which broke him up at the beginning of tho gamo. Eaoh playod for safety once and thon Malono got an opportunity, captured a ball and scattorod the pyramid. Position was good and he ran tho game out Malono, 5 Frey, 3. Then Frey woko up and got tho noxt gamo with a rush. Malone, Froy, 4.

Each man got plenty of ohaucos for tho tenth game. Malono had the gamo all his own way ou tho third iunlug but he slippod up on a good position with a scattered pyramid aftor making two balls. Frey followod and made two bad misses In hia noxt Inning, Malone sandwiching ono in bo tweeu thorn. Thou Malono braced up and ran out. Malono, li; Froy, 4.

Aftor cautious opouiug play Froy made pretty break and ran out without giving his oppouent any ohance at all. Malono, Froy, 5. Froy had evidontly got his hand in now, for after playing safe ou the break, and after Malono followed his example, ho ran out a series of faultless shots. This tlod tho men again. Malone, Frey, 6.

Frey led off on the thirteenth game aud broko safoiy. Maloue knocked one ball out of tbe pyramid and Frey put it in tho pockot. Then ho triod a vory hard combination, which, aftor long examination, ho decided was lu the pyramid. It didn't work, and Malone bagged six balls before Frey got another shot. When he did, however, he played a beautiful game, bringing all tho skill known In pool into action and running out amid a burst of applauso.

Frey, Malono, 6. Froy made a cautious broak and Malone playod for safoty. Then Frey tried what would havo beon a brilliant Bhot if he had got it. He took a big risk, broke tlio balls, missod and loft everything for Malono and took everything. Frey, Maloue, 7.

Frey was a little too Impatient, apparently, for this was the fourth or fifth timo ho had taken chalices tho cautious Malono would novor havo rlskod. The fifteenth gamo was won by Malone, on account of another bit of carelessness by Froy. The lattor did not got a ball. Malono, Froy, 7. Then Froy soomod to got confused a little, for on his first shot aftor Malouo's break ho left a ball right iu frout of the lowor corner pocket.

Malono bagged it, failed "to soo anything olso and playod for safety to tho upper cushion. Froy mado a good flno shot and slippod up on another of the same kind, leaving tho ball onco more in front or a pocket Malono took tho opportunity so kindly extended aud broko tho balls ou his return from the cushion. Then he run tho gamo out on cautious, easy shots. Malone, Froy, 7. Frey broko uud slippod into a cornor pockot 'rem the pyramid.

Malono got two balls from the position left, and thon Froy ran tho gamo out Malone, Froy, 8. Maloue, in breaking for the oighloonth game, mot with tho snmo misfortuno which Froy had experienced several times already. Tho cuo ball slipped Into the pocket. Froy made a good long allot from tho placo where ho had spotted tho whito ball. Then he bagged an easy ono and broko the pyramid on coming from tho cushion.

That gaye him plenty of position and Malono got no more shots thnt gamo. Froy, Malono, 9. Aftor the broak Frey played another daring shot, selecting a ball iu tho pyramid aud driving It all round tho tablo en routo for a lowor corner pockot. It was tho most brilliant shot of the game, and it was defeated moroly by hard luck, for it stood shnkiug right lu the mouth of tho pockot, having missod by a hair's breadth. Malono took off his coat aud gavo Froy no more chances on that game.

Malone, 10; Froy, 9. Frey won the noxt gamo after somo vory protty play, making a hard combination from the pyramid and then running the gamo out Malouo, 10; Froy, 10. Hard luck soizod Froy onco more in the twenty first gamo. He loft a ball right at a corner pocket and Maloue gathered it in and ran up to sovon bulls before ho gave Froy another opportunity. Frey Btarted in thou with hard luck nnd bad position against him, ond wns running the game out in beautiful style, when ho was suddenly coufrontod by au impossibility.

His ball frozo to ono of tho object balls in such a position that he could nelthor play safe nor scoro. Malone gave him no quarter. Malono, 11; Froy, 10. Frey broke for the twonty second game, and, as usual, slipped In a cornor pookot. Malone ran tho game out.

Malono, 12; Froy, 10. As usual on tho twonty thlrd gamo Frey loft something up on following tho broak and Malono ran out Malouo, 18; Froy, 10. Frey made a bad broak aud the reloutloss Malono took all that was left lie slipped up in trying to stoor the 13 ball botwoou two othors to a corner pockot. Then Frey went lu aud did gonuiuo pool playing as dollcats and difficult as Sohaofer's billiards. Ho mado a suocosalon of protty shots aud ran out.

Inharmonious Relation! of Two Local Musical Organizations. In the Eagle of yeBtorday thoro appeared an article which statod among othor things that the representatives of the Knights of Labor objocted to the Ancient Order of Hibernians employing nonunion music for tbe parade on St. Patrick's Day. At the present time, according to report, there aro two musical unions In this city. Only ono of thorn, how ever, Is recognized by tho Knights of Labor.

This is tho Bnlfo Musical Club. The othor association is known as the Brooklyn Musical Union. It was organized only a fow months ago, and the membership is not c.omposod exclusively of thoso who earn their living as musicians. It has for Its president a geutleman who, although a flrst class musician, has succoodod In exciting much opposition among fellow mombers of his profession. During last Sum mor the Sixty ninth Uogimont Band wob engaged to furnish tha music at Paul Bauer's, Coney Island.

The public Boomed to liko It, but the hotel proprietor, so tho Btory goos, cousid slderod that it was too expensive. This fact came the knowledge of Mr. Thomas R. Doverell, then a momber of the MuBioal Union of this couuty. It is assortod that ho wroto a lotter to Mr.

Bauer, in which he stated that he could supplant tho Sixty ninth Regiment Band with ono which would not only be satisfactory to the public but would also save Mr. Bauor quite a largo sum. This lotter fell Into the hands of Mr. Bohne, the loader of the Sixty ninth Regiment, and ho immediately brought the matter before tho union. Ponding action, tho information was brought to Benne, that should Bauer allow Devorell to play, Mr.

Julos Levy, the cornotlst, was to recolva $25 a weok from some one conneoted with tho Doverell baud. This pleeo of information agitated the members of the union considerably, and a meeting was Immediately called. It was one which will not soon bo forgotten by those who participated In the proceedings. The result of It was that Dovorell was expelled without, it Is said, having been given a chance to explain his actions. He did not, however, lot the mattor rest, but mado application for an Injunction, on tbe ground that tho club could not expel him for such a cause.

case was ti'iod boforo one of the Supreme Court Judges In Now York, and ho declared that the question was one which should be decided upon by a Jury. To an Eaole reporter Mr. Shields, of tho Protective Association, said that the Knights of Labor would consider tho question of organizations hiring non union music tho samo as it had considered othor employments. "It was about time," ho continued, "that men who bad formed themselves Into a union not only for their own protection, but also that of tho public reoeivod some recognition. Tho lialfo Musical Club Is tho only local organization of tho kind recognized by the ljbor Union." Mr.

Doverell was not at home when a roportor called at his residence HE ASSAULTED A SALOON KEEPER. John H. Hitchcock, who lives on Kent avenuo, this olty, was arraigned before Justice Sherlock, of East Now York, yostorday, for assaulting Jacob Sturzenackor, aShloon keopor, Sunday afternoon.
