A rumor reaohed the Bague office that tho parents of somo children attaohod to the Tabernacle Sunday school wore Indignant becauso the teachers turned the children adrift In tho pork after tho parade on Anulversary day, and that many of tho little ones wero lost.

A reporter Interviewed a fow of the ladles whoso children wero In the parade. Mrs. Thompson, of 177 Dean stroot, said: "My grandchildren wore out In tho parade, but their aunt was with them and thoy arrivod homo all right. I hoard them say that a number of the smallar children wero lost. I suppose each of tho toachors mot a beau who took her homo, and the children woro loft to And tholr way as best thoy could.

I think it is an outrago to disperso small children in tho park in that way." Mrs. Nolson Fredorick, of 172 Dean stroot, Said that hor children wore In the parade, but thoy wore able to find tholr way homo, Sho did not hoar that any parents wero dissatlsflod with the notion of tho toachors. Dr. Taimago was not at homo whon the roporter called, but Mrs. Taimago said it was always customary for tho children to bo dlsporsed in tho Park.

Sho thought there was no moro self sacrificing a body of toachors than thoso In tlio Tabernacle Sunday school. The rumor," she said, "must havo been startod by somo porsons who did not know that It was tho custom for tho children of tho Tab ernaelo to be dlsporsod In tho park." The police of tho Tonth Precinct cared for only two lost children on Weddosday. Ono was found beforo tho parado wa3 ovor. Mr. John Wood, treasurer of tho Tabornaolo Church, said thoro was no occasion for making any fu6s about tho matter.

"Tho children" ho said wore scattered by a showor, and tho Park police had to guldo some of thom to the cars." The Board of Estimate Getting Down to Work.

Local Birds Victorious Jersey Sports ga Homo ia Sorrow Details of tho Battles. For some weeks strenuous efforts have been made by local spirting gentlemen to got up mniq between Jersey and Long Island birds.

Thero waa only 0110 drawback to the proposed match, and that was tho fear of tho Jerseynion to cross" tho fer rles with their ganio. The Long Islanders saw clear way, and agrood to bring tho birds ovor from Jersey lu a boat, and, after mush correspondence, tlie offer was accepted. Tho dato settled upon foi tho battle was last ovoning, and it occurred in a woll known sporting rosort not far from Conoy Island. Tho pit was sot in tlio parlor, aud it was ol tha regulation sizo. Many prominent residents ol Lrooklyn wore seated around it, and bet thoir monoy freely.

Tho birds wero carefully examined, and th( spectators wore each assessed $1. It was loug aftol 11 o'clock beforo tho word was given tc get ready Previous to this, howovor, a thorough search wai mado of tho vicinity to learn if tho polico wen likolr to iutorfore. Wnon everything was thoroughly socurod two birds, weighing threo pounds and twolvo ouncea oach, wero brought out by thoir handlers for tha scratch battlo. Their colors wero dark and ginger rod, nnd tho battlo proved very uninteresting, as tho lattor bird, aftor receiving tho steel gaff Bovoral times, Hew out of tho ring. On being placed in it again lie refused to fight, allowing the ginger red to treat him as he pleased.

The noxt battlo was betwoen a dark red of Jersey and a pylo ot Long Island. It was a very desperate fight, and tho Long Islanders offered 20 to 4, bul found no takers. It would have beon a good thing for tho Jerseymen to havo tekon a few such betg, for when botli birds wero trying lo catch thoir wind, the dark red suddenly Jumped up nnd planted the Bteel iu tho Long Island bird's brain, killing him in' 3tnntly. llluo and rod of Long Island, and black and red of Jorsoy fought uoxt. Tho former bird, who wai heavily backed by his owner, droro tbe gaff into thi Jersey bird's throat, cutting a largo gash in it, and winning the fight in a short tlmo.

A black and red of Jorsoy and a greon and red ol Long Island, weighing four pounds and eighl ounces each, wero next placod In tho pit Tliej fought gamoly, but the Jersey bird won, Tho Long Islanders placed iu tho pit for the nos' fight a dark red, whilo Jorsoy showed up a white hncklo. In tho opening tho Jorsoy bird had a wing broken. Ho, howovor, stood his ground woll and ll looked at ono timo as if tho Long Islandorg would be defeated. They, howevor, won by a scratch. In the following battle tho Jersey peoplo placod in tho pit a white hacklo and tho Long Islandors 5 dark red.

This was a very ganio fight and much money changod hands at its termination. Aftei fighting for nearly six minutos tho stoela wore drivon into tlio Jersoy bird's eyes, and from tha' timo until tho conclusion of tho fight tho Long lsl ander had things pretty much his own way. The Jersey bird wns carried out of tho pit stone dead. Tho soventh battlo was between a black and red of Loug Island and a bird of tho samo color from Jersoy. Tho Jersoy bird's throat was cut, and tha blood flowed freoly on tho carpet, lie died whilo being forcod to fight by tho handlor.

Much merriment wns caused in tho next battle when Long Island put a game iu against a darS red from tho Jorsoy fiock. When tho Jersey bird received a fow prongs of tho gaff ho flow out of the pit and could not bo kopt in it thereafter. A match was iought for 2. a sido botween a pile of Jersey and ginger red of Long Inland. It was tbo best battlo of the evening.

Tho Jersoy bird killed the Long Islander inside of five minutos. During tho evening much money changed hands. It wa 5 o'clock this morning bofore tho spectators, loft for homo.

mjrasiwlf Denouncing the Police and the District Attorney. The Socialist Leader Makes a Wild Speech in His Own Behalf Before the Jury in the General Sessions Court Defending His Mad Doctrinos Tho Case to Close To morrow. Herr Most this morning again had his feelings outragod by boing brought from tho Tombs to tho Gonoral Sessions Court In Now York attached to a thlof by a pair of heavy handcuffs. Most looked Bavago. Ho scrawled viciously at ovory ono his oyes fell upon.

It was said that ho was greatly annoyod at tho sproad of tho sontimont which tho official Journals of the Socialistic party havo boon giving publicity to for yoars that ho (Most) was In tho pay of tho Germnn Govornmont and his prosonco in this country was for tho purposo of do Btroylug tho labor movements horo. The courtroom was packed to suffocation. At 11 o'clock Most and his codofondants woro called to tho bar. Ho mot Lawyers nowo and Ilum mell thoro and immediately began an animated conversation with thom. Ho soemed oxcltod and to difTor with tho viows of his lawyers, and waved his hands wildly.

Recorder Smytho announced that tho trial must bo procooded with. Several wlonosaos wore then called and tostified to tho previous good character of Adolph Schonck, ono of Most'a confodorates, aftor which Schonck took the stand. Ho testified brlofiy nnd and after tho examination Braunsehwerg, another Sooinlist, talkod In his own behalf. Lawyer Howe then declared that tho dofenso had rested, nnd stated that his client Most desired to address tho Jury iu his own behalf, right which ho was ontitlod to. "Ho hns that prlvllogo," said tho recorder, "but thoro must bo a limit to this thine.

Ask Most how long a tlmo will he occupy in his address." "About an hour," Bald tlio lawyer, after consulting with tho Court. Most arose aud said I cannot Bpeak vory well English. You havo heard a great deal about mo. I suppose that you expoctod a great deal of witnesses for the prosecution nnd a lot of black dovil lies about mo, but what has como ott Nothiug has como off. I have seen prosecuting officers in Austrln and Germany going against mo and my associates, but thoy wero tho slaves of tho kings and princes.

1 didn't expect that hore. There was a scheme gotten up by tho police. Tho press was against mo. I know all about tho policemen who mot in iho beer saloon next to Captain McCullough's station houso and said wo will got Most. At last thoy arrested me.

Thoy said thoy arrested mo undor a bed. I stood up iu my own room. Tho room 1 had lived in for two months boforo. Thoy showed you books and othor things thoy took from my room, but thoy didn't produce tho poekotbook wtth S1.S0 that they took from mo. I supposo thoy want that." lie then referred to tho mooting at which he said ho spoke.

What did 1 say?" ho shouted: I said that tho Constitution of the United States of North America pormittod its citizens lo carry arms. I told about St. Louis, whoro the men who were paid f5 a day by Jay Gould shot down whoevor Gould said should bo shot. A dozen men and women have boon killed by thom. I said that tbo Wiiliamsbbrgii strikers wero quiet, but tho polico clubbed and fired at them.

About the eight hour movement and mooting on tho 1st of Mny 1 didn't advise that tho men should get guns; I said that if thoy carried guns instead of torchlights, they would be moro respected. I didn't tell them thoy must shoot, said tho Constitution let them carry arms. It didn't make any difference what kind of arms. Certainly they could carry cannons and of course bombs. But I didn't advise women to throw firebrands in iiousos, or tell anybody to throw vitrei out of wludows 011 policemen.

Boechor, you all know him, the Anarchist went on, ho advises poopto from his pulpit Sunday after Sunday lo buy riiies and gutis and use them to protect themselves. That is all tho advice I gave. That mcoting was orderly ami was not an unlawful assembly. You kuow'whnt tiiey are doinz. They aro not only putting me iu prison, they aro doing away with free speech.

It is tho first slop to bring this Republic down to a monarchy. Tlio next will bo slopping the froodom of the press. Thou wo will only want an ompetor. This ondod Most's address and Colonol Fellows opened his summing up. TRIHUTES TO THE DEAD HEKO.

Thereupon Miss Stewart related tho hardships from which Bho had boon sufToring bo causo of her dotormiuntiou to marry Mr. Thlos. Upon hor Buowlng, tho marriage, or at least somo protection from hor parents, was necessary to pro sorvo her lifo. Upon those representations Dr.

Beechor performed tho marriago eorotnony. Tho brido ia not yot 17 yoars of ago and tho brido groom 2S. They sottlod down for tholr honoymoon in a nice littlo brown stono houso at 123 Greene avonuo, but their quiotudo was not of very loug duration. A moat tremondous storm broko about tho ears of tho ltev. Edward Beechor.

Tho Rov. Theodore Cuylor wroto a bitter letter to Mr. Boechor, and tho Hov. Charles It. Baker, who is now out of tbo cily, 13 also said to have spokon harshly of his action in marrying Miss Stewart to Mr.

Thlos. Messrs. Blckforo), Higgins and Baldwin, frionds of tho Stewarts, havo called upon Mr. Beochcr to convict him of evil doing in tho matter. Mr.

Beechor said this morning "I took tho word of Mr. Thi03, whom 1 havo known for a largo number of years. Ho told mo tho marriago was necessary for tlie happiness of himself and Miss Stowart. Sho corroborated this. I know that tho parents wero opposod to tho match, but 1 married them without notifying tho parents, becauso I thought that wns the right tiling to do under tho circumstances.

If I had told them they would have sloppod tho marriago. I don't regret marrying them. I beliovo moro firmly than ovor I did boforo that I was right." Tho clorgymon, evidently feeling that moro explanation was expoctod, continuod "Mr. Boocher doesn't toll issufforiug injustice in conaequouce. Mr.

Thies hated au olopomout and would neror havo rosortod to ono had tho thing not beon absolutoly necessary. It was rendered so by tho trentmont to which Miss Stewart was subjected by her parents. They actually boat and kickod hor. It Is true that Dr. Cuyler wroto mo a lottor in which ho accused mo of having acted wrongfully In tho matter of tho marriage," continuod Mr.

Beechor. I called upon him the other day though, and explained tho powerful reasons 1 bad for noting as I had douo. Ho told mo that ho had heard tho statomonts of people laboring undor oxcitemont nnd was sorry ho had written as ho did. Ho askod mo to burn the letter in which he blamed my conduct. Wo partod good frionds ns wo havo alwnys bjen.

Mr. Stowart callod hero nud tried to convict mo of wrong doing. 1 don't soo what elso ho could havo wantod as tho marriago was done and I could not undo it. I would not acknowledge though that my conduct was wrong, for I feel sura it was right." Tjo bride and bridegroom wore found in their houso, 128 Greouo avenue, this morning. Thoy seemed happy.

Tho brido ia tall aud slight whilo tho bridegroom, who is also slight, is under medium sizo. Mr. This said his professional position would not allow him to enter into a controversy with his wifo's parents, but ho allowod Mrs. Thies to mako tho following statomont: "We havo kept silence this matter becauso wo dosired to avoid publicity, but now that my mother and father havo rushed into print wo must tell all the truth in Order to protect tlio iunocont. Mr.

Boechor is sufforing from tbis thing whllo ho i3 not at nil at fault. My mothor did moro than half tho wooing for "Mr. Titles. Sho thought thoro was no ono in tho world like him and again auif again askod mo why I treated htm with neglect, saying I would novor got such a brilliant offer again. She held this high opinion of Mr.

Thlos until March 15, whon Mr. Thies gave a musicalo at 12S Greono livenuo. Ma was not invited and I was. That made hor very angry. Sho told mo I should not go without 0 chaporono.

Mr. Thios callod on hor and askod why I was not to bo allowod to go about with him without a chaporono. Ma said that bho had been Bcorned. You soe, thoro woro to bo some vory distinguished peoplo nt tho musicals, and sho had set her heart on going. Thios told hor that sho was not scorned and after a whilo sho said that I could go with him, but not without a chaporono.

Ko said that ho would not pay for car fares and theator tlckots for tho chaporono and finally sho said I oiuld go with him again as usunl, but trom that timo on sho dovotod all hor.attoutlon to breaking oft tho match." Mrs. Nallor, rollnod and very senslblo lady, with whom the bride and groom are staying, said Tho kicking occurred in my presence. 1 rathor sympathized wilh Mrs. Stewart and had called to find out what waa tho reason why sho wanted mo to put Mrs. Thies out of tho house.

Sho had written a ll.t of reasons for breaking off. the match. Ono wai that Mr. Thies had not given hor daughtor as many presents as former had done, and tin: other reasons woro Just as silly, except 'ono which I investigated and found falso. I called upon Mrs.

Stowart again and told her what I had found, nnd asked hor if sho had not better lot tho match go on as Lulu was so sick that thoro wero fears of her life Sho said Bho would sooner lot Lulu die or go to Bloomingdalo than wod Mr. Thlos.

FRIDAY EVENING, MAY S3, I8SC SIX PAGES, MOES GROUND Likely to be Secured for the Federal Building. To day's Hearing In "Washington Ex Judro McCuo, Congressmen Campbell, Jamos, Bliss and Mahoney Present Strong Arguments In Furor or the Passage of the Bill A Satisfactory Report Confidently Anticipated.

Special to the Eagle. Washington, May 28. Tho Public Buildings unci Grounds Committoo gavo a hearing this morning to Lrooklyn on tho local Fedoral Building bills. Tho mombers of tbo eoramitteo present wore Keoso, of Georgia, who presided Snyder, of Woat Virginia; Henley, of California; Wilkins, of Ohio; Johnson, of North Carolina; Milliken.of Maino; Brown, of Pennsylvania; Rockwell, of Massachusetts, and Owen, of Indiana. All the Brooklyn Congressmen woro in attendance, E3 was also ox Judgo McCuo, tho Solicitor of the Treasury Wllkins, of Ohio, oponod the proceedings by stating tho purport of tho two bills introduced by Congressman Campbell, He said that as chairman of tho sub committee having tho bills in charge ho was thoroughly familiar with tho whole subject, but would like to listen to tho argumonts of Mr.

McCuo and tho Congressmen. Judgo MuCuo took tho Boor. He started out by saying that, of course, ho flld not ropresent tho trcusury onicially In appearing before tho committee. Ho spoko simply as a rcsidont of and property ownor In Brooklyn, whoro ho had lived nearly all his life. Hp was tho landlord of tho building now partly used by tho Unltod States Co urt in I'rooklyu, and had been for fifteen tears, and it would naturally be to his interest to keep tho Government as a tenant.

As it was, however, ho wantod to loso tho Government as a ton ant, and eoo its business transacted in a build. Ing which would bo entirely adequate to tho growing needs of tho city. Tho Fodoral Bull ding now in course of oreclion was by no moans sufficiently largo, and tho peoplo of Brooklyn, ns Mr. McCuo woll know, wantod ground as additional alto for the extension of tho structure. Tho extra ground desired could bo purchased for $350,000 or Iojb, and if tho Secretary of tho Treasury could not runko a fair arraugomout with the owners condemnation was lo follow.

Under tho law there had to bo at least forty foet epaoo between a Govornmont Btruuiure and any other, and what was now desired was to obtain tho whole block for Government uso. J'ir. McCuo did not seo that thoro could he any possible objection to granting the oxtra ground, ll was a move in tho intorost of tho city and tho Government alike. Personally, the gentleman had not advocated tho original site, becauso he thought that better one could havo beon chosen; but, Ihe Bltuation boing aeit was, there was nothing clso to do but to make the best of it. Tho laud could bo purchased much cheaper now lhau lalor on, and as an economical mcasuro it would bo advisablo to buy, for sooner or later tho extension would havo to be made.

Chairman Wilkins asked if the Govornmont would not fare equally woll if Iho building was mado six Blorie3 high. This would save tho pur chaso of tho extra land. Mr. James What would you do with tho upper stories? Place tho United States courts there? Mr. Witkins Certainly.

The United States Court Sow York hn3 to bo reached by an elevator. Mr. James That is hardly an argument why such should bo tho case In Brooklyn. Judgo McCuo do not think that tho idea of making tho building six storios high and not otherwise extending it would tako iu Brooklyn at all. The only thing to do.

in order to haTO a structuro commensurate to tho needs of tho city, is to havo It cover the whole block. Congressman Campbell then took tlio floor and Baid "I havo been at great pains to obtain exact information In all matters pertaining to theso bills, and I will not tako up tho time of the conimlttoe except in presenting what I doom to bo tho most essential particulars. If tho building Is completed in accord with tho prosont piano we will have but 05,000 squaro feet of surface In tho New York Post Office, whoro there Is great complaint because of lack of room, thoro are 270,000 equaro feet, and In Philadelphia two huudrod and Bovcnty sovon thousand. This, of course, includes all the floors. Compare Brooklyn, with its needs, with New York and Philadelphia, nud dees tho difference warrant tho fact that tho city should bo so discriminated against In tho area of Its govornmont 6tructuro bb 1b hero designed? Mr.

Randall and other prominent mombers of Con gross havo told wo more than onco that tho Govornmont made a groat mistako when It did not purchase outright tho block on which tho building is to be." Mr. liecse Do you think that Mr. Ttandall will vote for this bill?" Mr. Campbell" Thore Is no doubt about It. It ho does not, I will agree to dlBcard tho measure entirely." Mr.

Reese I did not know our friend was with you." Mr. Campbell (continuing): It must not be forgotton that tho population of Brooklyn is growing at tho rato of at least seventy live thousand per year. Wo now have rapid transit in our city, and peoplo are going there from Now York nnd Jersey City in great numbers undor the Inducement to get cheap, good homes. For myself, I would not ask the purchaso of this extra land unless 1 thought it absolutely necessary. It Is true I did not favor the original site, but I ask this extra land as an ultimate measure of economy, not only as a Congressman knowing the wants of my people, but as a rather heavy taxpayer iu tho oily.

If I had my way I would put up tho building Just as the architect has dosignud, and then I would erect anothor Hko it at the othor end of the block, spanning tho two with an ornnmentnl nrch. It must not bo forgotton by you, gemlemon, that Brooklyn has some claim hore. Her postal revenue is the third iu amount of any city In the internal rovonuo collections are between thre aud four million a year. We have no federal building at all now, and considering the standing of the city and th! amount she contributes to tho national treasury, I think you will concedo tho fairness of what we ask. I do not beliovo thoro is any disposition to do injustice; to tho city and especially When you consider other expondituroa for Federal bulldiug purposes.

Philadelphia's structuro cost four millions and half, tho site alone costing one million nnd a half. St. Louis has a building which cost livo millions, and the site alone for tho building in Boston cost thirteen hundred thousand. Then ngain, look at tho growth and development of our mall service. In 1S70 wo handled in the Brooklyn Pout O.Tieo fourteen million pieces and in 1S35 no loss than forty Bix millions.

This yoar the growth of tho service is out of all proportion to previous years. We are cramped for room in all the buildings now leased for Govornmont purposes in Brooklyn, notwithstanding the fact that we are paying about twenty thousand dollars per annum ronttil. Those facto are undisputed. Now, if the committee desires to consult the true interests of tho Government, as I bcliove it does, it will present a favorable report on this bill for additional ground just as soon as possible." Congressman Jamos, who next addressed tho committee in favor of the addition of site, said it would bo vory bad policy to complete tlio building as planned, becauso an extension would certainly havo to be made in a few years, and it would be better aud cheaper to finish tho structure as taking in the entire Mock. Mr.

James was unqualified in his approval of tho bill. It wa3 in the interest of tho city nnd Government alike, and should, in his ludgniont, bo favorably roported. There was no politics in it. It was simply a attention of doing Justice to Brooklyn. Congressman Wins said that the Kings County delegation was a unit in asking tlio passage of tho measure, and so was the Slate delegation.

Mr. Reese if tho entiro Stato delegation la with you, why can't you get Hewitt or Bolmont to giant you another consideration of our New York bills? Mr. Bliss 1 can assuro you, gentlemen, that thore will bo very little troublo in nrranging it. Botli Mr. nowitt nnd Mr.

Belmont will, I think, bo willing to accommodate you. Mr. Kccso That's a good point. Jlr. Bliss went on to say that, like Mr.

McCuo and Congressman Campbell, he also was a taxpayer In Brooklyn, and as Congressman and taxpayer both he asked a favorable report on the bill. The argu mout was brought to a closo by Congressman Mn houoy, who mado a tolling speech iu favor of tho bill. Ho referred to tho financial receipts of the Post Office ns Justifying tlio proposed stop, and cited tlio fact that both tho Secretary of the Treasury and Btiporvlsiug architect of tlio Treasury favored the nitdllion of site. "Tho eslimato of three hundred and fifty thou Band dollars" ho said, "for tho oxtra purchaso may bo too high. Tho property may not bring that amount.

But wo have placed 11 in the bill as fixing tho limit of expenditures for the extra land desired. All that wo want is that tho Government buy the land at the lowedt possiblo price, and if a reasonable price cannot bo agreed upon, then tako it by condemnation! Congressman Heeso said that ho thought tho arguments of the Brooklyn gentleman had been very convincing. Certainly so far as ho was concerned lie did not hesitate to say that ho was in favor of the bill. Tho committoo then wont into executive session. Tho Brooklyn Congressmen think thore will now bo no difficulty iu securing a favorable report.

Conversations with members of the committoo after adjournment show thai this opinion Is pretty accurate Mr. Dibble, tho chairman of the committee, was not presont at to day's session, but, even on tlio supposition that ho is against tho bill, sufficient votes aro aecurod to counteract whatever adverse sentiment ho may endeavor to create. Congressmen of Maine; Roose, of Georgia; Snyder, of West Virginia Henley, of California; Cull, of Johnson, of North Carolina; Brown, of Pennsylvania, and Owon, of Indiana, nro all now relied upon ea favoring tho measure.

A few minutes lioforo 10 o'clock Inst night tho Red Star stoamor Noordlnnd dropped hor anchor off Clifton at tho end of her trip from Antwerp. On board were Miss Rrankio Folsom, her mother and Mr. Benjamin Folsom, hor uncle. Almost immediately tho United States rovenuo cut tor William E. Cliandlor drew up along side and Colonel l.amont.

President Cleveland's private secretory, climbed on board. Ho went into the ladles' cabin and shortly after came on deck in company with tho Folsom party. Thoy went on board tho cuttor nnd disappeared in tho cabin. As soon as tho baggago had beon transferred to the boat, it steamed up tho North River to a wharf near tho foot of Twenty third street Tho parly lauded and vtro immediately lost to sight, leaving no cluo a3 to where thoy had gono. Au reportor called at tho Gilsey House, 1,203 Broadwav, whoro Jliss Folsom has formerly stopped when'in Now York, but was Informod that the parly had not Btopped thoro.

Colonol Lamont had partially ongaged a suito of rooms thore some days ago, but failod to tako thorn anally by telegraph ns ho had promised. After visiting several hotols tho reporter wont to tho Hoffman House, whoro Colonel Lomont has boon stopping. Clerk Wall was busily engaged In removing tho "dead slips from tho hotel rack when askod if Colonel Lamont was at the hotel. "No; he left hero at at an early hour this morning." "Is thoFolsom party stopping hero? Tho Colonel said that ho was going to Richfield Springs, I bolievo," was the evasive answer. Who accompanied tlio Colonel when ho came iu last night "lie came in very Into." "Did Miss Folsom go to Richfield Springs with tho Colonol "1 heard an intimation" Hero the clork broko off abruptly and taklug tho Blip bearing Colonel Lamont's name from tho rack, added, "Y'ousoo now that bo has left." "But what about Miss "Folsom? Is sho hero or did sho accompany tho Colonel to tho Springs I hoard It said that sho would go thero with her mother somo tlmo to spend a couple of weeks.

I believe tho Colonel haa gone ahead to engage tho rooms." Oh, then, Miss Folsom will remain here unlil his return To this question Mr. Wall roturncd no answer. Tho bond porter camo up, aud, without seoing tho reportor, addressed tho clork In a cautious tone. Mr. Wall Bald: "Did you got Misa Folsom'o baggage "It's all right," answered tho portor, "but I want to know what to do "Did you send tho two largo trunks to Rtchflcld Springs "No, I wantod to wait, but overy thing is all "Y'ou'd bettor send tho trunks and bring tho others here." A fow other instructions wore given in a lowor tono and tho porter left tho building.

Tho reporter was unable to find any othor cluo as to Miss Folsom's whereabouts. It is possible, though, that Colonol Lamont tins not gono to Richfield Springs, as ex Senator John J. Kiernan told an Eagi.k representative that ho had an eugngo mout to luncheon with the Colonol this aftornoon atDelmonico'B. Ono of tho rumors as (0 tho brido oloct's whereabouts placea her in Brooklyn, whore it is said Bho will romaln with friends iu retirement for a fow days.

In a letter to tho President received this morning, Mr. Dorm expressed his sorrow at not boing ablo to attend tho mooting, nnd stated that tho do flcioncy iu his accounts was duo to his having speculated in stocks without success.

Special lo the Eagle Wasuikoton, May 23. What Governor Hill will do with Ihe bill providing for Spring municipal olections in Now York City and tho election of tho entire Board of Aldormen on 0110 ticket and by the city at largo Is a matter of conjec turo.

In Ills last annual messago tho Govornor strongly advocatod Spring olections for cilles, but whether ho will favor this bill with tho Aldor maulc adjuncts it is Impossiblo to say. Tho bill, it is ueedloss to add, is tlie most Important measure affecting New York's municipal charter since tho Roosevelt bill was passod giving tho Mayor tho absoluto power of appotutmonts. Thoro Is a growing independence of party linos in city affairs. Republicans and Domocrnts ofton abandon tholr regular candidates to support an Indopondont in the interest of good local govornmenl. This tendency will be increased when municipal affairs aro divorced from Plato and national affairs by a law providing for Spring elections.

The Flntbush 2)olice erred yesterday in reporting tho victim of Wednesday's nssault in that villngo to bo a sister of MrB. Zieset, tho villago blacksmith's wife. Sho proved instead to bo Jennie Richer, daughter of a Gormau resident of Kochestor avonuo, in tho Twenty fourth Ward, and tho sister of a Bodoll, who with hor husband occupied a part of tho Zlsset houso. Tho child seemed in a fair wny of recovery this morning, according to Dr. Randolph, of 179 Herkimer street, who attended er, though her injuries woro serious.

Y'esterday afternoon tho local polico arrostod Thonii lioborts, of ltochoster avenue, on suspicion. He lookod liko tho rascal sought, but tho girl could not idontify however. Oftlcor William Stack succeodod in finding a cluo yesterday, which resulted In the arrest of tho culprit this morning. Tho day was occupied in searching tho negro quarters of tho town and the neighboring wards in Brooklyn. For several days previous to tho assault, a short, thick set negro, unknown to tho villngo oftlccrs, had been loitering around tho colored district near Malbone stroot.

Ho had also been soon to enter tho houso of an old colored woman living iu tbo neighborhood. Suspicion sottlod on him, and Officer Slack learned that Lis man was a residonl of the Twonty tourth Ward, this city, and that his nnmo was Smith, but nothing moro. This morning, in company with Sorgcnnt ByrneB, ho visited tho colored quartors of tho ward. Aftor tnreo hours' search it wa3 learned that a young colored man, by tho name of Smith, resided in Bergen street, near Albany avenue. Every houso containing a colored family, on both sidos of the street betweon Albany and Troy avenues, was visited.

At 1,117 Borgen Btreot Smith wns found, and ho proved to bo tho man wanted. Whon arrostod ho was preparing for dinner and, despite his protestations of Innocence, wa3 taken in custody upon a warrant is3uod by Justico Cor aud escorted to tho Town Hall, Flntbush. Upon arriving nt tho latter placo Mr. Kicher, tho fathor of the girl, was notified, and, as the victim of the assault was too ill to bo removed, tho prisoner was taken to tho houso. When brought Into tho girl's prosonco sho positively identified him nud again told the story of tho assault.

Smith stoutly denied the story, but tho only defense of fored was that of mistaken identity. Ho was taken back to tho Towu Hall and loefcod up to await examination, which will tnko placo to morrow morning. The prisoner gavo his namo as Stophen Smith.
