k. C. This Afternoon's Meeting Ma i'ara Amateur Athletic l'iiii. Mown. The meeting of tho board of managers of tho Amateur athletic union, which held at 4 o'clock; tins afternoon, will undoubtedly result in legislation which will be of deop interc.it to amateurs throughout the couutry.

The re olutiou restricting the amount of money to expended ou nrizes or trophies to JIM will probably bo passed. This will raiso a greal howl among the many would bo amateur span era athletes everywhere. The idea of giving amateur athletics a thorough overhauling became iui piYssod on the board of managers somo time ago, tllld iu consequence they nrgi return to tho donors of the valuable Diddle This trophy has exisi. a number oi yuars as a strong incentive competition between clubs, and has resulted in tho larger or. gainziihons sapping the vitality smaller ones by drawing away the of tho latter as soon as they dovelop to be value.

This has given rise to the athlete graidiiug which tho Jlanleittans ami eiuu I1UVO carried on the Ilrooklyn The Brook Itii ciubs have raised a howl ihereat, and thn eiluctiif the same will he seen this afternoon when the plaqtio will go back to the donors, mid it is hoped the grabbing will cease with the withdrawal of tbe incentive. Secretary Sullivan of tho Amateur athletic union, when asked about the resolution restricting the value of prizes fr athletic contests, cx prcs cd himself as highly in favor of the action arid mid that amateur sport was greatly in need of such legislation. The custom of amateurs at the present day was to dispose their valuablo JT.IandMOO trophies before they had left tho building in which tho contests w. re held. This did not tend to promoto true amateur iport.

Many so called amateurs at the present day were iu the sport for the money they received, and already the prize fighter have begun to mourn. He also slated that application from several prize lifters who desired to enter amateur Uunmnentu had been received, and they based their claim on tho fact tltat they were as good amatMn as many of the contestants at the boxing tourneys. The union ib determined to do all in il power to promote genuine amateur sport, ami will legislate out of the amateur ranks all the would be amateurs, who soar for big expense bills and trophies, which are turned into cash as soon as the contests are finished. The report of the special committeo appointed by the Amateur athletic union to consider tho individual prize question will read at the meeting this afternoon. Messrs.

W. William have given the queiir.i careful and prolonged consideration and the report will deal fully and precisely with Die que in. A beautiful die medal will bo designed to be offered in place of present prizes and trophies aud tho winners of athletic events will be awarded the regulation prize instead of tho gold watches, diamond pins, which arc now being presented to the winners of tournaments.

As a result of the grand jury's visit to St. John land yesterday, the following presentment waB to day made: Brooklyn. January 30, 1891. jo "il Honorable Court of esstons: lhe grand jury for the January term has visited the jail, the penitentiary and the county buildings aud found them in excellent condi tion notwithstanding, in the case of tho county buildings, their greatly overcrowded, condition. On Ihursday, the 2Hth grand Jury visited anil inspected the county farm at St.

Johnlaud, L. 1. It is unfortunate that the the visit coming as it did in the day preceding tho eud of the term precludes the grand jury from taking any testimony and making a thorough investigation, rrom a superficial examination tho grand jury made tho work or the new Prick buildings, engine house and conduit seems to be good. On the other hand, the work on tho storago reservoirs ia miserable in every particular, and not at all in accordance with the plans and Bnecifications. and the acceptance of tbe work and pavmentof the contractors is a great injustice to the taxpayers of the county.

The grand iury would most earnestly request tho court of Besaions to call this matter to tho attention of the next grand jury, and request a careful investigation of the execution of the various works, the certifying of tho contracts as completed by tho inspectors and engineers, aud the payment of such contracts by tn uoard of supervisors under protest of county ofiiciald, and without proper and earnest investigation into the charges made of bad work. Ikvino O. Lawuenoe, Foreman. It will be seen that Foreman Lawrence complains practically that an investigation into tho expenditure of $2,000,000 of public money forty, two miles away needs more time than tho grand jury could possibly give it at the eud of the term. Tho law under which the county farm was instituted says that for a specified period 10 per cent, of tho contract price shall be retained by the county until tho completion of tho work and its approval by the charities commiask ners.

In case of Birkett's storage reservoir Supervisor at Large Krotzschmar, who recently appointed Commissioner Gott for another torm of four years, held back 20 per cont. alternative presented was a veto. The contract price of the storage reservoir is $111,710, of which Mr. Birkett has already received $:10,370. Dr.

Kretz schmar bases his action on the report of Ohari tiea Engineer P. McCanna's report. Engineer James F. Carey who has had charge of St. John land matters for years, has certified, on tho other hand, that Mr.

Birkett's work has been all that could be desired. DONE IN FRENZY YonngWilliam Brawae Impaled Himself in a Window. A Fcarfal Effort at Self Dastrnctien ef a Formar Inmate of the Flatbnih Asy Imn Keirned by His Mother and a Palieeman. William Browuo, tho 18 year old son pf Henry Erre Browne, the well known organist, made a despsrate attempt at self destruction yesterday afternoon at the bo no of his parjata, 7 Clifton place. Young Browuo haB beon suffering for years from mental trouble brought about, it is said, by the execssivo uso of cigarettes.

Ho is tall, palo and emaciated. It ia but a few months since he was released from the Flatbush insane asylum, where he had passed several years. The doctors thi ii pronounced him eurodatid, no trace of bis old malady manifesting itself, his parents accepted their statement as correct and considerably relaxed tho restraint they had placed over him before his incarceration. This withdrawal of att.uitiou camo very near losing the boy his life. Yesterday afternoon he wa sitting with his father in the study off tho rear parlor, where the organist was arranging some musical scores.

They didn't converse, and when the youth hurriedly left the apartment the father paid no heed to his movements. William, who, it Beems, became suddenly and violently crazed, bounded up tho stairs lo the top floor, the front room in which was used aa a sewing room. His mother was sewing when ho dashed in, now thoroughly frenzied. Without uttering a word he plunged head first through the lower window sash and was at once impaled on the jagged edges of the broken wiudow glass. Mrs.

Browne rushed toward him and seizing both feot held him fast in his terrible position. Young Browne throw his hands about wildiy and made frantic but unsuccessful efforts to throw himself to the street below. Tho glass penetrated his clothing and cut and gashed him in a dozen plaecB, from which tho blood gushed. Several passera by witnessed the horrible spectacle and communicated word to the Fourth precinct police. Ollicer Walker was dispatched to tho house.

Ho got there in a hurry, and in his ascent passed the study whero the organist was still placidly engaged, ignorant of the tragedy tlut was threatened abovo. Walker lifted the struggling form of the youth from tho glass and deposited it iu a heap on the floor. As the mother released hc hold her nervous tension gavo way and she sank in a swoon. She was revived and the youth, after his wounds were dressed, was placid under a securo guard. None of, his injuries was serious.

Ho will bo iaken back to the asylum at the earliest date possible. "CRUEL AND INHUMAN TREATMENT," What It From the Servant (iirl's Point ot View.

The Gallant Colonel Will Com maiid the Marine Corps. News of His Nomination for the FoItion Rcivei With Joy at tUe JUry Yard. Resnlts of Some of Hi Efforts Brier Sketeh of His Career. The news of the nomination of Colonel Hey wood for commandant of'the marino corps was to day hailed with delight by both tho officers and men at the barracks, on Flashing avenue.

All the officers in the corps know and admire the gallant soldier, but not all tho enlisted men by any means havo served under him. Notwithstanding this fact such has been the conduct of the former commandant of the Brooklyn barracks toward all his subordinates that even whero he is known only by reputation he is a universal favorite among the rank and tile of the' sea soldiers. Private dispatches from Washington announcing the welcome intelligence wore received by several of the marine officers at the barracks yesterday afternoon. "It has never been my good fortune," said ono of them this morning, "to servo under Colonel Hoywood, but from what I know of the man I am satisfied that the corps now has brighter prospects before it with such an efficient soldier at its head." Another officer who was at the barracks during Colonel Heywood's term of servieo there stfid: "I have never known a man of nobler character or greater ability as a soldier. He is unflagging in his attention to duty, an admirable disciplinarian, prompt and generous in his commendation of good services and unrelenting in punishing bad men.

While ho was here he showed an active interest in the welfare of the enlisted men, lookine after the improvement of their quarters aud general conditions of living. He was the means of providing them with various oomforts, improvements in rations and library, more cheerful surroundings in the moss hall, where for potB and nans dishes were substituted, and for benches chairs. Ono of the significant results of Colonel Heywood's connection with this barracks waa tho improvement of the officers quarters. When he came here the building they lived in, which had been put up somewhere baek in the sixties, was a rt gular old barn of a placo. The colonel labored hard to got this condition of things bettered.

But it did not come while ho was attachod to this post. When ho went to Washington he put his shoulder to the wheel, never for a moment forgetting his old project, and its a result we now have as fine flats an there are in Brooklyn." A feature which tho marine officers at the barracks have long sought to have added to the equipment of the place for the practical trining of tho men is a target range, and now that a progressive man who understands the needs of tho situation is to bo at the head of tho corps, the end will, it is thought, certainly bo attained at an early day. Nothing in the way of duty bo interests aud inspires tho marine with enthusiasm as the competitive rifle shooting, aud the absolute lack of facilities for this work has proved a serious drawback. Since the accidental shooting or Lieutenant Benson something over a year ago an order from the commandant of the navy yard has been in fovee prohibiting entirely firing in the navy yard limits. This did away with tho apology for target practice which used to bo attempted with reduced powder charges.

A new range would cost somewhere between and and the best location for it is thought to be just back of the barracks and parallel with that building, where a 200 yard range could bo placed very nicely. Other improvements of general interest to the corps aro expected to result from the placing of a livo man at its head. Colonel Heywood's military career has been full of active and valorous service. He was born in Maine in 18:10. Ho was appointed as a second lieutenant of marines from Brooklyn in April, 1858, and in September quolled the quarantine riots at Staten Island.

In May, 1801, ho was mado first lieutenant and at the baitloof Hat teras Inlet landed with a marine battalion from tho ship Cumberland and aided in the capture of Forta Clark and HatteraB, winning honorable mention from Major Doughty aud in November a captaincy for bravo conduct and ability. Among other engagements in which he figured, Captain Hoywood was on the Cumberland when on March 8, 1802, the frigate went down along with tho Congress under the blows of the rebel ram Mer rimac. Hoywood fired the last gnu before bis ship sank. The youne officer then received the brevet of major for "distinguished gallantry in the presence of the enemy." After a period of recruiting duty in Brooklyn he went on tho frigate Sabino to chase tho privateer Alabama, and having tried this also on the Ticonderoga, he in November, 1803, volunteered for duty with Admiral Farragnt and was ordered to the Hartford as fleet marine officer. Ho figured in various fights in tho gulf and got distinguished mention in tho reports of Admiral Farragut and Captain Drayton of the Hartford.

Then ho became commander of Fort Powell, guarding Grant's pass and the entrance to Mobile for thirty days, receiving for his services tho brevet'of lieutenant colonel. After tho war Colonel Heywood scrvod in various places with credit and in November, 1870, was promoted to tho rank of major. Ho commanded a battalion of marines at tho railroad riots Hi Baltimore in 1877. In 1885 ho took a battalion of marines to tho seat of the Colombian revolution on tho Isthmus of Panama. In view of the threatening attitude of the insurgents the colonel decided to occupy the city.

His conduct throughout in the leadership of this expedition was abundantly praised by Admiral Jouett. Sinoo thou Colonel He.vwnod has served in Brooklyn and in Washington, where he is now. CANT GET TUB BENEFIT Ilccausc iic Wan in Arrears to Hi Uuioia. An interesting labor union case waa this morning decided bj Chief Judge Clement of the city court. The action was brought by Thomas Kelly against Bricklayers' union No.

1 of this city, of which Kelly was a mombar. According to the provisions of the union a benefit of to per week is allowed its members for any disability incurred in the discharge of their work if such a member is not in arrears for dues for moro than three mouths. Kelly was disabled by having some hot mortar fall into his oyc while at work, aud thereupon applied for the benefit fund of the union. This was refused upon the ground that when hs was ininved he was in arrears of dues for eight months. Kelly waited for his money for somo tiino and then brought suit through his attorneys, Magner Hughes, for the sick bonelit for a term of twenty six weeks.

On the trial the plaintiff admitted that ho had paid np somo eight months' dii03 just after the accident and that ho paid it under protest, as he claimed to owe less than two months' dues at the time. Lawyer Thomas E. Pearsall appeared for the union, and Judo Clement in his opinion finds that when Kelly was hurt ho was in arrears for dues for some eight months and was therefore not entitled to the benefits. NO MONEY FOR BOARD. The Comity Cannot Pay for tbe Care of Its Wards.

Auditor Keller said this morning that owing to the fact that tho fund for supporting the county wards hail given out ho would not be abio to audit any more bills from the various orphan asylums, No new appropriation can be made until August. Tho board of estimate was asked at its last meeting to appropriate $250,000 for this purpose, but on motion of Mayor Cliapin this was cut down $100,000. Of tho amount fixed there now remains $1 5,075.42, but bills to that amount are already audited. Auditor Keller says a resolution can be passed by tho supervisors borrowing the amount from same other fund and ho would a It to have this dono at the next meeting of the board, but this would not avail much, as there were few funds with a surplus and none with any amouut. President Oott of the charities commission said that the case was without a parallel.

If the various institutions, refused, as they had the right, to give tho county credit, the children niu. sutler. If credit were given it would only make a big duficit at the end of the year.

Earl has a rough draft of a bill providing for tho incorporation of a company to construct a bridge over tho East river, from tho neighborhood of tbe foot of Broadway, iu the eastern district, to a point near Grand Btreet, New York.

Byrnes, of tho Tenth Kings County district, caused somewhat of a Bcn sation in the house this morning by objecting to the immediate consideration of the Stewart raoid transit bill, which passed the senate on Wednesday. 'The bill was announced from the speaker's desk immediately after prayers, and Mr.

Connelly, who took charge of it.movod that it have its second and third reading and be placod on final passage at once. He eaid that the bill was as near non partisan as any ineabure that couid be devised and tbat it was proven by its having received tbe vote of every member of the sonate. Ho had a bill before tho railroad committee of the assembly, but so urgent was the necessity for rapid transit in Sew York that ho would bo willing that his bill should io if the Stewart bill could be passed. Tho clerk began calling the roll to see if unanimous conseut could bo obtained to put the bill on its passage. Mr.

Byrnes, whose name is near the top, stopped the proceeding, voting "No" in a loud tone. Mr. Connclly.in a nervous voice, asked that the bill be passed to a third reading and referred to tho railroad committoo, retaining its place. Mr. Byrnes also objected to this.

He had no objection to its going to a second reading, he said, but would not consent to a third. Mr. Connelly fioundcrcd in the parliamentary mazoi and it looked as though the bill would bo delayed, when Speaker Sheehan showed tho way out of the difficulty. By a two thirds vote, ho said, tbe raiiroad committee could bo discharged from consideration of tho bill and it might be paBsod. The two.

thirds were obtained oasily, the vuta being a rising ono, and the bill was then nassed by a vote of 85 too. The light voto is accounted for by the small house, though a number of members dodged. Fom teon New York members were absent and tlueo from Kings county, Messrs. Cahill, O'Connor and Apinall. TheBe three had been excused for tho day, business taking Mr.

Aspinall and Mr. Cahill to Brooklyn aud a more intcrooting event Mr. 0 Connor. Mr. Byrne said to the Eaulk correspondent later: "I voted against immediato consideration of tho rapid transit bill because I do not believe in hasty legislation.

This bill only passed tho senate on Wednesday. It was only engrossed yesterday. It has not been printed. We know nouo of its provisions, except such as wo havo Been iu the newspapers. Passing bills bo hurriedly is like taking a Jump in the dark, and I don't believoin jumping that way." Both assembly and senate adjourned out of respect to the memory of Secretary Windom.

At a special meeting of the board of trade and transportation this afternoon the following resolutions were adopted: William Windom, secretary of the treasury, died while our guest and just as he had spoken to tit words of weighty wisdom and true courage. It is therefore peculiarly lilting that this board should express tho deep sense of the business men of New York of the services which lie has rendered to the republic and of the per. onal loss that so many of us have sustained in his sudden death.

At the organization of our board he was our associate and adviser. During all our existence he has been our faithful friend and helper. The New York board of trado and transportation places this minute upon its records in honor of a good citizen, a wise man and an honest and brave official. For more than thirty years William Windom has been pruminent in American public lite.

Tins itisii, ominouB of the death of some high official, wan not known to hundred, perhaps, of the entire throng to point to the death of Secretary Windom.

The news spread rapidly among the clerks, however, and the suddenness of the secretary's death was felt almost as a personal as well as an official loss, for Secretary Windom, because of his kind, approachable, well nigh affectionate manner, had greatly endeared himself to his entire official household. Acting Secretary Spaulding was among the 11 ret to reach the treasury department, and he ut oneo issued an order dismissing the clerks for the day and dirictiug that the department be draped in mourning.

Chairmau William Horatio Nelson Cadmus of the new committee on rulea announced to day that a meeting of that body will bo held at the Lawrence street headquarters, to aiorrow evening to suggest changes in the regulations governing the.operations of the general committee.

"I shall endeavor," sai Mr. Cadmus to day, "to alter the method by which the re enrollment of ward associations lifts hitherto been effuctod. In the Woodruff days the faction having tiie larger representation in tho general committee used its power wdienever necessary to order re enrollinent of any ward association against whoso leading members it had any ill feeling. Now, my proposition, aud it seeniH to be a fair one, is that no re enrollment be ordered unless at tho request of at least 1 5 per cent, of tho enrolled Republicans of the ward. I ilea's believe in swooping or indiscriminate re enrollment any more than I do in all the fooliBh lighting thai has been going on for the past few years." From present indications it is safe to prediot that the Goodrich people will have twmplefe control of tho oxocutivo committee as Swell as of tho fall campaign committee.

Some Repitbli cans think that the party has a chance to win tho mayoralty this fall and the leading men are casting about for a candidate. The recent resignation of Frederick A. Hchroeder from tho People's trust company, of which he wras vice president and next in authority to PetnocnUic. Leader William II.
