Ex Assembyman Joseph Fitch of Flushing will sue the Western union telegraph company for $23,000 damages, sustained by hia wife, to whom a telegram waa sent by mistake and the contents of which throw her into a hysterical condition from which she is not likely to entirely recover for Borne time.

Mr. Sperwin was taken to the hospital throe weeks ago, aud on Monday last had hiB left leg amputated just below the knee. This ia tho history of the case as furnished to an Eagle reporter by his wifewho is not as reticent aa tho doctors: "My husband," aho Baid.

"is a bin and airair. ontly a healthy man, weighing 200 ooutuU At least, be weighed that before his limb was taken oil, and when I saw him reatordav ha aee.med hia usual excellent health. Four years ago ho felt a numbness in his heel, but thought little of it. A few months later tho numbness gave place to pain, and from tho heel it went bighor. A year ago last Bpriug ho placed himself under the care of Dr.

E. S. Bunker, who aeoined puzzled to account for tho pain, seeing that the limb was not swollen. Dr. Bunker applied an electric battery, with tho result that tho pain moved still hierher and went into the calf ot the leg.

It seemed to be in tho muscles, but it could not be called stationarv al together. After awhilo Dr. Bunkor opened tho calf and removed something, but evidently not the pain, which went higher still and located itself close to the kneo. A consultation was held last summer, but with no definito result. Toward tho fall tho pain grow simply intolerable, and my unsuand consulted Dr.

John D. Rnshmore, who, after doing all he could, advised him to tako a room iu St. Peter's hospital, which ho did, tho pain becoming each day more and more intense. Finally they cut off the leg. They call the cause malignant tumor, but I gneas it is reallv a mv tory.

Dr. Rushmoro says it is tho firat case of the kind known to the faculty. I know it is not hereditary because Mr. Sperwin's anoestry have Deen noted tor their hoalth and lontrevitv." "Is it posaiblo, Mrs. Sperwin," asked tho re porter, tnat tno Handling of flowers may have Deen tno cause?" No.

I am aware that people have the imnrec sion that handling Chinese primroses ia apt to poison, but ho never touched one. Tho worst of it ia, tho doctors fear that iu cutting off Uto leg tney navo not eliminated the disease. It may bo in the blood, and they are anxiously awaiting dp volopments.

It is probablo tho training ship will shortly bo removed to her old berth in the East river. Tho delay of tho contractors in providing materials with which the work oa certain portions of tho cruiser Maine might bo continued has necessitated no reduction of the working force.

Thus far tho local fli iala havo received no notification from the department that the contract for the caBtingB to replace the defective shaft struts of the Maine has been let, although tho specifications were forwarded mouths ago. The work of plating the sidea of cruiser No. 7 is much further progressed in tho forward part of tho ship than aft, because of the failure of the contractors to send along the atern post until recently. Indeed, tho after part of tho vessel has practically all to be built yet on this account. TIIS PUMSU1IE.XT OF SOHMLE.

Fobrnary 0, The jury impaneled by J. M. Hartranf one the coroner) for Suffolk county, to sit in judg mcninnt killini of Carl Carllsen, roiurnea verdict last night that the deceased met his death at the hands of Ina employer, Jonn u. xoiing. The circumstances surrounding tno ratal quar ml hptwr en tho two men woro exclusively re hitnl in i flnterday's Eaole, but the action of the invpntieating body shows that Young's statement that Carllsen had accidentally shot himself is not confirmed by uio iacis auuucuu inu exam insiiinn.

John T). Young, who gave the first information of the shooting, when placed on the stand related this account of tho affair: "I sent my man, Carl Carllsen, down with my wife lo catch the morning train for New York. Ho returned at 1S .15, but with Mr. T. Maxwell's wagon and harness.

I inquired the reason and he said that tho colt had run away and broken the wagon and harness. He borrowed theae, but said ho was about to take them back. I told him that he was not fit to drive the mare or take tho wagon. Somo morowords onancd and finally Carllsen threw mo on tho sofa aud struck me. I made no eBistance as I could not.

At last the girl camo in and tried to separate us, He seized a chair and threatened to brain her, but I wrested the chair from him ilo then saw a revolver lyincr on my desk and taking it up, said, will kill you with your own bull I clinched with him, he all the whilo holding the revolver at my head caught his wrist and endeavored to get tho revolver onfc of his grasp. In tho strug gle that ensued wo both foil bohiud the Btove. When on tho floor I turned tho revolver in his hand, having hold of his wrist boforo the weapon was discharged. After the firearm went off I got up and saw that he waa lying with Mb head over tho coal souttle. I said to tho hired girl, 'Helen, he has killod Quito excited I ran for help, aud on my found Carllsen on his knees with his head between two chairs, hand on each.

I was about to summon a doctor when Mr. Cling, who had answored my appeal for help, expressed the opinion that Carllaen waa dead. The doctor was then sent for and ho found that the man was no longor alive." On cross examination Young admittod thatjno one was present when tho revolver was firod but himself and tho victim. Helen While, a servant girl omployedby Young, testified that she witnessed a part of the conflict, but went to another part of the house soon after Carllsen's alleged demonstration toward her. Wbon tho pistol shot rang out sho camo back and found tho hired man in tho same position as Young had said.

She stated that Oarllson had been drinking previous to the quarrel, but Young was sober. No bad feeling had existed between tho two men for soma time, but Mr. Young had threatonod to disoharge tho hired man if ho did not leave off his habits of drinking. Dr. Savage examined tho bullet hole, and from its conrse judged that tho ball eould not havo been fired whilo tho belligerents wero in tho poBition Mr.

Young described. No other marks of violenco wore on tho bodv, and death was duo to hemorrhage caused by the shot. Ging, the man who had been summoned by Young, gave somo startling tostimony, in which Young doclared that ho had inflicted the fatal wound. Tho circumstances surrounding tho wholo af fair wero regarded by tho Jury as sufficient to warrant Young's detention. Tho cvidonco in omo places was contradictory and clouded with mystery, which a court alouo could clear ud.

The coroner returned tho inquisition to Justice Albertson Case by Deputy Sheriff Vail. Tho pris oner asked time for counatl, and so tho hearing was adjourned till Friday, when tho prisoner will probably bo committed to Riverhead jail. THE SPANISH ELECTIONS.

Berlin, February 0, Professor Henoch of the medloal faculty of the university of Berlin, a distinguished authority on diseases of children, reports unfavorably on the results of treatment with the Koch lymph in his department, fto administered tho lymph to twenty two children, only one of whom seemed to improve, and the improvement in that case wri only temporary, whilo many became worse under the treatment. He has therefore stopped experiments with the lymph. The refusal to allow the Dixon fight to go on is regarded in Long Island City this morning au tho result of purely personal and political spite. It was understood' that Mayor Gieason and the city officials would not interfere with tho contest, but would seen that tho law waa not violated.

Tho Jeffersonian club is a political organization of the anti Gieason faction and it was tho members of this organization that stopped the mill. Frank Stevenson, in conversation with a reporter, said: Thie contest would have beon entirely devoid of slugging and I'll bet there would not havo been near the blood spilt as waa at the Ravens wood contest last Saturday. Then tho men wore four ounco gloves. McCarthy and Dixon would have worn five ounce gloves. It was a question of endurance, not punching.

It's a Bhanio and will be the death of one of the finest club rooms in the country." Jimmy Wakely excitedly said: "I'm through with Roache, I'm through with Bulmer and I'm through with the Puritan club. I'm out $15,000 on the rooms, but I'll Btand it. In the future I'll not tako any interest in fighting, except to look on." Ex Assetnblyman Bulmer, who, with Wakely and lloache, aro interested in the clubhout was deoidedly downhearted and tired of answering quostions. Ho said: "This was a contest and a scientific oue and not a slngging match. I would not be connected with anything brutal, but am a promoter and admirer of athletic Bports.

I am sorry that it was not allowed to go. There wero plenty of policemen and doputy sheriffs present to seo that the law waa not being violated. I am sorry, awfully sorry." Tho goneral impression now among the sporting fraternity is that tho Puritan club is pugilist ically dead. Over threo thousand strangers invaded Long Ialand City last night. Every boat brought over a load of sports, while hundreds of ooachea foiled up Borden avenue.

Tho light fingorod gentry were also ia attendance and one of them was arrostod in Miller's hotel while relieving a drunken admirer of McCarthy of his watch and money.

Annie was removed from tho stand and walked away sobbing and weening, her grief being in creased by the fact that hor mother, who sat among the spectators, at this moment faintod and was carried out. Judge Moore then, turning to tho jury, said: "Gentlemen Although it iB very clear that this man is guilty of tho offense chargod you cannot convict him upon tho evidence of this woman. It is a stato'a prison offense aud thia woman is tho orrly complaining witness.

You seo Bhe will not testify against hor father and the only remedy I have is to punish her. I am tired of these pooplo who go before a polico magistrate and beforo a grand jury with a complaint and then, when they come to court, rofuso to testify. I only regret that this is a woman and not a man that I might inflict severer punishment. Tho prisoner is discharged." THE ILLINOIS SENATORSniP.

Mr. SJnxwell Continuoi to Act as In mranee Superintendent. Special to the Eagle.) Ai.iiany. N. February 0.

Senator William L. Brown of Tammany hall, notcontent with the laurels ho achieved by bringing Grover Cleveland and David li. Hill together at the Manhattan club houso, ia reaching out for fresh honors. Ilia latest scheme haa for its purpose what would seem to be the arduous and difficult tank of bringing about a harmonious meeting of Democratic and Republican 8cnator iutended to re inlt in .,3 confirmation of a friend of Governor Hill f' Die oftko of state superintendent of insurance. 8cnator Crown belioveB that the retention of Superintendent Maxwell in oftico ia a standing insult to the administration of the governor, be cause the Buperintendont baa long been rogarded ar an official hostile to the distinguished leader of the Democratic forces in this state, lhe senator thinks thore shonld be absolute harmony between the coveruor and all of the heads of Btato de partments and is of the opinion that the interests of peace would bo served by the retirement of Mr.

Maxwell. Shortly after tho Cloveland Hill dinner wa over tho senator brought his intellect bear on the (motion as to how ho could best serve the governor in this matter reinovine from the Litter's path the obnoxious io.Driutendent of insurance. Ex Senator Jams; Pierce, of Brooklyn sometimes and Now York finite as frequently, generously offered his sen ices to Senator Brown in tho mission the latte had undortaken. Mr. I'ierco said ho would con sent to allow his name to be used as a candidal for Mr.

MnvivftH'ri nlnne. Mr. Pierce, by the way, has beon a candidate for the oftico a least two rnars. Without stooping to inunir if Mr. Pinrcn'a nandidicv would meet with th nnnrnvjil nf HnryVi WLaiirrhlin of Brooklyn, Mi Brown decided to pubIi the ex acnator for tho ofHco which ho looked for.

Mr. Pierce came to Albany a few davs ago, but boforc coming hero understanding with Thomas C. Piatt of New York. Early in the wook Kenatnr Hrnwti. continuing to be gmdod by th nkl anw tliat the most direct route to a man'; of his stomach, gave a privato dinner in his rooms at the Keumore to the moat influential of the Piatt senators.

Af Icr tho cencrotis wines freely supplied had got in their usual work Senator Brown disclosed his mis sion. He said they all knew ex Senator Pierco to be a Jolly good fellow, approachablo under all circumstances, and claimed he would bo far more ncceptablo to his former colleagues of tho scnato than the austere and cold blooded Maxwell. Tho Piatt senators agrood with Senator Brown mid before they had finished the first baHket of champagno agreod to vole for the confirmation of Mr, Pierce in case his name should be sent in to the senate. Yesterday Mr. Fassett waa in tho chair, presiding over the sonata, whon ex Senator Pierce en tered the chamber.

Mr. Fa sett and his friends expected tho ex senator's uamo to bo sent in by the governor. Thoy had not consulted the Miller men of the sonate or the Democratic senators from Kings county. Long and anxiously tho Piatt men and Senator Brown waited for tho ex pected message from the governor. Finally Mr.

Pierce, who had studiously rofr.iined from tail ing the Kings conuty men what had been going on. unbosomed his secret. IIo sought tho assistance of one of these senators, who immediately advised against haste. All this while one of tho Republican senators, who is strongly opposed to the leadership of Thomas C. Piatt, was also expecting Mr.

Pierce's nomination and wkh ready to make prompt ob jection to tho confirmation. One objection would have sent the matter over to another day for consideration. But the governor did not send Mr. Pierce's name in. The Kings county senators had not received any information that Iliitrh McLaughlin and the organization in Kings county approved of the ex senator's candidacy.

It seems as If Mr. Pierco ha3 become a candidate without Ifcuring the backing of Mr. McLaughlin. Per haps he thought that tho backing of Thomas C. Piatt and Senator Brown was all ho required to land him a winner.

It is thought that if tho governor had heard from Mr. McLaughlin the ex senator would havo been named for Mr. Max well's place. When tho senate adjourned Mr. Pierco hurried down the hill and took tho first train for New York, presumably with tho intention of cnlling on the leader of the Kings county Domocrals, Senator Brown, probably roalizing that his mis sion had been disclosed to tho public by souio of the Flatt men who filled themselves, with his wine, said very frankly this morning in response to your correspondent's questions: "Yea, I am tho man who arranged for tho con iirmation of Mr.

Pierce. I had a little symposium at my rooms the other night, and thero received promises of support for Mr. Pierce from several Republican senators. Had his namo boen sent in yesterday it would havo beon confirmed." Your.cc rreapomlent asked, "Do you think his name will ho ccifirmed?" "Without a question of doubt. IIo will get enough Republican and Democratic votes to tho senator.

"Did yon think that the nomination would satisfy tho Kings county organization 7" tho senator was asked. "Certainly I supposed it would," replied Mr. Brown. He scorned surprisod when informed that a Re publican senator waa waiting for an opportunity to make an o' jaotion to the confirmation. The peacemaking senator had in his enthusiasm entirely overlookod the fact that there are Republicans In tho senate who disclaim allfgiauco to Thomas Piatt, Perhaps he will give a dinner to these senators between now and next Monday appears that Mr.

Pierce and Mr. Brown conducted their negotiations with tho Piatt men under cover, aud not until within a few minutes of the time the nomination was expected to arrive in the senate did Mr. Pierce open his heart to the senator. from Kings county. Mr.

Brown and Mr. Pierce did the work under a blanket. Had thoy taken Hugh McLaughlin and the Bbnators from Kings into their confidence, tho cx Scnator might havo secured Mr. Maxwell's place. Mr.

Brown's late: dinner was not a success, but ho is not dhcourazed. The senate and as fcmbly mot and adjourned to day without any business of moment. Mr.Earl introduced in the assembly a bill which provides that any insurance company doing business In, or Incorporated under the laws of this state, that shall iuterpoKO any objections by adjusters' arbitration or otherwise, to the payment in'fnllof tho amount of tho policy issued by tho aid company on tho property or life, in which loss occurs, or that offers to pay nruount loss than tho full amount ey, shall bo guilty of a misdemeanor imprisonment for a term not less than one yor by a hno not loss than fl.OOO. Mr. Earl says if ft company agrees to pay a specified amount in caso there is a total loss, it should not bo allowed to shirk full payment.

He elalniB that because some companies do not keep their agreements with persons taking out policies, they are enabled to build costly structures, open princely offices, engage costly staffs and pay largo dividends which honest companies never earn. IS FAVCit Of THE iiOAil. Special to the Eagle. Al.HANV, N. February 0.

The court of appeals to day affirmed the order of tho general term of the second department appointing commissioners to appraise certain lands for right of way on Grand avcuuo in Brooklyn, owned by Charles U. Wing, which are Wanted by the Brooklyn elevated railroad company. Wing had appealed from the order of the court below. Tho most serious question in the caso was whether tho road's franchise had not determined or lapsed. Tho special tind general terras uphold tho company's rights.

Mr. Gaynor Will Give Notice for It faon. It Will Then be Called Before Justice O'nlleu More Peppery Correspondence To day 3Ir. Jenks' Merry Jest Hew the Water Suit Stnnis A Tory Posl (ive Statement From Mr. Zicjler's At torney Rejrnrdinir Hl Position.

William J. Gaynor's refusal to recognize Judge Dykman'a. authority in the action taken by the supremo court in tho water supply case on Wednesday, was emphasized to day in an interview with an Eaole rororter. Mr, Gaynor will not tako any stops to con test the validity of tho order issued by Judge Dykman.bnt challongeB tho city authorities to make use of U. Mr.

Gaynor will, within a few days, servo a notico on Corporation Counsel Jenks for a trial of tho suit of Ziegler va. Chapin et al. at the March Bpacial term of the supreme court, Whether or not Mr. JonkB will recognize this no tico and meet Mr. Gaynor for the trial of the case in tho March term iB an interesting quoB tion.

Mr. Jenks, iu an interview sinco tho or der granted by Judge. Dykman declaring that ho would vacate tho injunction against tho purchase of the water supply property until the charge made by Mr. Ziogler against the legality and justico of this purchase could bo tried, has Bpokou of the case as still In court. When Mr.

Gaynor's representative appeared be fore Judgo Dykman on Monday and stated that tho case was improperly on the calendar, aa the plaintiff attorney had received no notice of the trial under tho amended complaint and answers in the suit Mr. Jenks said that ho rocognizod that if Mr. Gaynor wished to avail himself of "a techni cality iu order to delay tho trial of tho case ho could do bo." If Mr. Jeuka recoznizod, then, that Mr. Gaynor was technically right in declining to try tho caso at thia term of the court ho may not feol liko rofnsiug to recognize the binding force of a notice aerved on him fourteen dayB before tho opening of the Maroh term for a trial of the suit then.

Mr. Gaynor will pay no attention to tho order of Judge Dykman that ho shall within Bix days stipulate that the action shall bo tried on February 10, and at the end of these sir days Judge Dykman will doclaro tho injunction vacated. That comes as near a judgment iutha caso of Zieglor against Chapin as the city au thorities could askfor. Mr.Jenkaays the city will not carry out tho contract with Cyrus E. Staploa 'aa long as tho matter is before the courts;" in other words.they voluntarily enjoin themselves pendeuto lite, having seen red the vacation of the pendente lite injunction of tho upremo court.

If Mr. Jouks goes into court to try tho caso in the March term, lawyers Bay, it will bo a reflec tion on Judgo Dykman in the latter'B recognition of the case as having come before his court on notice served by Mr. Jenka on Mr. Gaynor. This notice was served before Mr.

Gaynor had destroyed tho issues which woro to bo tried under this notice by serving an amended complaint recognized by Mr. Jenks in his amended answer threo days before Mr. Jenks appeared in court and complained that Mr. Gaynor waa not tiiere to try the case. If Mr.

Jonks does not recognize Mr. Gaynor's right to call him to trial in the March term after Judgo Dykman'd recognition of the case as properly bofore him, aud Mr. Jenks does not appear in tho court Mr. Gaynor may move for a judgment, which if he secures will compel tho city authorities to contest tho general term. Judge Cullon will preside at tho special term in March.

If Mr. Jenks appears at the calling of the calendar on which will appear the title Ziegler vs. Chapin et al. and iutorposea Judgo Dykman's decision vacating tho injunction aa a harrier to tho appearance of tho suit beforo Judgo Cullen his honor will bo called upon to recognize the validity or invalidity of Judge Dykman's order. However tho caso is decided it is stated on good authority that Mr.

Ziogler and his attorney aro "full of fight' and will carry their caso to the highest tribunal, if necoasary, to secure fair jadgmout. Mr. Gaynor was Been this morning by an Eaole reporter to whom he said when asked to stato moro fully his position regarding Judgo Dj mau's order and hia future action in the suit brought against tlio city authorities by Mr. Ziegler "I shall utterly disregard this void and outrageous order. 1 do not wish to humiliate any other judge by going to him and asking him to vacate thia order.

His associate judges have somo feeling iu this matter, as well as the mem beora of the bar iu whose face this ontrage has been committed. Thore was no motion noticed before Judg. Dykman or his court to dismiaa the issues formed by tho amended complaint and by the amended auaweraj nor was there any motion notieed before him to vacate tho iujuuotion. His action was wholly ex parte and it is absolutely void, and I shall ret: ru tho order to tho corporation counsel. If no and his clients are satisfied with the order I challenge them to tako advantage of it.

I have not undertaken to protect my client against the void and outrageous acts of this judgo, and I do not propose to try to protect hira against them. That la no concern of nuue, but is a matter of the deepest concern to the cltizeim of Brooklyn. I shall go right on and notice ihia cause for trial and also make a motion that issues bo framed for submission to a jury. I have not said at any tune, and do not now Bay, or pretend to say, nor does it becjine mo to pretend to say, what shall be the final outcome of this caso. That also ia no concern of mine.

My only concern is to try tho caso in au orderly way and iu my usual way aud beyond that I shall not depart ono inch. 1 have been urged to go before a legislative committee, I have been urged to go into public meetings, but I haTe insisted all along in keeping this caso before the judiciary in the strictest and most orderly seust', uud I hare boon provoked to speak publicly about this case only by tho unprofeasiaiial and disgraceful event which has occurred. Somo papers say that I am auxry, but you know that instead of being angry, or speaking in anger, every word I have said has been calm and deliberate. Aa to a legislative investigation, I may now say that whilo I have deprecated it, I think (hut the recent occurrence should be and will be the aubjsc', of legislative investigation. Tiiere is no other way to reach it." Corporation Counsel Jenks this morning re ceived the following: BnooKLY.v, February 5, 1801.

Mr. Gaynor waa asked what he had to say about theso iotters. He replied: The letter of Mr. Jouks was Hhown to mo bo foro I had received it. He must bo tho Judge of the propriety of publishing letters before ho sends thom.

I notice, how over, that his letter is not an answer to mine, but au evasion worthy of a casuist. I suppose that would have been noticed without my having pointed it out." Mr. Gaynor rcfuso.l peremptorily to say any thing moie. MOliE OF THE PKDDldilt'S WORK.

The Brazilian Reciprocity Treaty Meets With Favor. Braeklyn Wareliousomen and Shippors Hiffhly Pleased With It It YHW of Urcnt Benefit to Busineis In This City. Interesting IaterTiew. There is qnite feeling of jubilation among the warohouBomon along the water front to day, on account of the new reciprocity treaty with tho Brazilian government regarding exports and imports. It is the general topic of diBcuaaion r.nl overyono aopoars to appreciate tho movement moat thoroughly.

One of tho most interestod and delighted is Captain John H. Lachlan, general manager of the United St3tea mail steamship comnany: When seon by an Eaole reporter this morning Captain Lachlan, though deep in businosa, found time to remark with a smile that the new treaty was just what the United States and Brazil company have been working for and using all their influence to obtain for a long time, for not only do both countries receive groat benefits from the concessions, but also the lines of steamships carrying the increased voiumo of trade which is euro to result. The United States and Brazil line is one of the largest and boat equipped of any rnuuing from this coast to Brazil, and therefore its interost is strong. Captain Lachlan thinks that the measure, aside from his own interest in the matter, is one of the most important and beneficial to the people which has been oarried out by the government in a lone time. Captain M.

L. Berry, superintendent at Prentice's stores, looks npon tho new troaty with great favor. Captain Berry was formerly twenty years superintendent of Kelsey'a stores, and in that capacity had a great doal to do with sugar, which was stored at Kelsey's aud Robiuson's iu great quantities. "Kow," Captain Berry said, "the storehouses in tho West Indies and especially at Havana are getting all the benefit of storage, as thousands of tous aro being held there awaiting the time when the duty on sugar shall be taken off altogether. This treaty with Brazil will bring to our ports and espeoially to Brooklyn an immense amount of sugar for atorage.

Tho vnavA. iu nf nn inferior auality to that from tho' West Indies, but we will probably get enough of it to produce aneaimy ramiuuu and our storehouses will become enriched aa there can be bat littlo reason for keeping up foreign storage. John E. Fay, of tho firm of Martin ray, owners of Martin's Btorca, was seen at his office, 100 Water street, New York. Mr.

Fay said that he had not yet looked tho mitter overthor nrl fnnap.nn An tiv COllld TlOt exprCSS an opinion. In casually glanoing ovor the text of the treaty he observed tnat notmng wmon in at Martin'a atorea wouta be affected, as all tho imports wore bidcB, Bkina, rubber and coffee, all articles which have been free of duty for many years. C. St. Clair, prominent at the Mediterranean stores, said that while the new agreement between the two countriea would in no wise affect the volume of trade at the Mediterranean stores, he was highly in faver of the moasure, aa it would now give manufacturers a ohancc to got their prodnots into Brazil, a thing heretofore unattainable to any satisfactory degree.

Likewise ho considered it an extremely profitable oo thn fni mni of the West, aa nearly all their products aro now to bo admitted to Brazil either entirely free or wnn pei com. u. tho present duty off.

Tho court told him that tho defendant was not required to come to court at all it sue did not want to. Mr. Halpin then askod that everybody bo excluded from the room but thoso conneoted with tho case.

Tins was retusea Dy the court verv promptly, Ju lge Clemont adding that he thought a divorce case was the kind of action which should be tried in public. Mr. Hal pm then departed. Tho plaintiff on he stand said that lie was mar ried to the defendant in August of 1885. Throe months later thoy parted and he said that ho had notrnokon to his wife since.

Sarah C. Adolman, a dressmaker of 31 Schaefer atreot.said that Mrs. Alger lived with a Mr. Spieler at 31 Schaefer Btreet as his wife. Tho court then wanted to know whether the witness could identify the Woman, but before she could answer the dofond ant arose and announced hor presence.

She Lived With Frederick Sclioneherffer, but Wziv Viol iVfarricd to filim. Frederick Schouebergor died in Jessio Mocry had lived with him from June, 1880, to a short time before his death as lus wife.

No marriage ceremony waa performed, but since his death she has brought suit for $10,000 damages against Adolph Schonoberger and Ber nard Metzger as tho executors of the deceascu, and the caso came up before Chief Judge Clement of tho city court on a demurrer to tho complaint, interposed by the defendants in tho action. The plaintiff charges in her complaint that be fore his death and as far back as June 0, 1880, Sohoneberger bad promised to marry her, but never did so. Boforc she went to live with him she had an income ot per montn. At tnis time she did not know that the deceased was a married man, and often asked him to havo a marriage ceremony performed, but ho kept putting it off from time to time, Sho allesoa fur ther that during the time Bhe hvod with the de ceased she contributed some $1,000 for household expenses and doctor bills for him, beside do ng all tho housowork aud caring for him. fho therefore asks for tho damages above named.

The demurrer interposed by Lawyers Mooro and Wallace for the defense sets up that the com plaint did not contain facts sufficient to constitute a just cause of action, on the ground that the suit is for a breach ot promise, which ceases at the death of tho person accused. Lawyer George F. Elliott, for the plaintiff, asked time in which to submit briefs, aud iho case was ad journed. SEAR THE END. SuinniiiiK Vp the Puare linmajc Suit Against the SJriiljjc.

James Stewart Dunnen's Death at Wy an dance. A Coroaer's Jury Says That Fallinj Upon an Inch of lee Caused Beath When tbo Man's SKmi ffas Shattered and His Faee Battered.

Lack of investigation of the cansc of tho death of James Stewart Duunen, who was found in the road at Wyaudanco (formerly West Deer Park) yesterday morning has led Bonio of the morning papors into tho making of ridiculous blunders. Ono paper says that ho fell ont of his wagon and was frozen to death. Another says that ho waB killed by a locomotivo on the Long Island railroad and that bin hoi Be was killed and tho wagon knocked into splinters 1 The circumstances of the case remain substantially as thoy wero stated in the Eaole last night, and while the man ruiy not havo been a victim of foul play, it is settled beyond cavil thai ho was not struck by a locomotive, that he did not die from exposure and the horee was not killed or tho wagon damaged in anyway. How Mr. Dunneu met his death ia still an opon question and likely to remain such, aa further investigation of tho case by the authorities is not to be expected.

The verdict of the coroner's Jury as the result of an inquest held by Dr. Mooro yesterday afternoon carried with it no weight, because it ia primarily rounded on guesa work. Time should have beon taken to permit an investigation by detectives into Mr. Dunneu'a movementa after ho loft Hickavillo Wednesday afternoon. The conclusion of the Jury is that tho man came to his donth accidentally by falling through the ice whilo trying to got his horse out of the water.

This ia a full fladnod asBumption. fo person gavo any direct tostimony on the point. The water in the roadway was leas by an inch or two than two feet deep and the ice waa barely an inch thick. How it camo that contact with auch thin ice shattered Mr. Dunnen's head and battered his face tho jury doea not say, but, while jumping at conclusions, they might have practiced consistency aud said that tho horse Inflated the injuries upon hia master.

If the inju riet woro not inflicted by a weapon in a powerful hand superficial indications of it wore never moro deceptive. Tho horse was too far removed from Mr. Dunnon'd body to bo suspocted of having trampled him to death, and it is a singular and strong circumstance in refutation of tho theory that thero are no wounds upon tho body save those on tho head and face. Tho horse waB unhitched from the wagon and tho shafts wore with him. Thoy might have pariod from the wagon in tho heavy pulling through tho water, or thor might havo boen broken by biowa.

Mr. Dunnen's body was not found on tho ice or iu tho water, but on the road, to which Mb clothing had frozen fast. His body waa forty five feet away from the wagon and thirty feet from whero tho horse stood. Mr. Dunnen had not been robbed.

Therefore, if it turns out that ho was murderod, tho motive waa not robbery. He waa a man with a good many enemies, ne is said to havo beon mixod up in a domestic scrape which caused his wife to leave him, but they subsequently became ro nnited and woro living together at Central Islip at the time of hiB death. He was at law not a littlo and employed a Brooklyn lawyer to attend to his business. Thobjst information that oan bo obtained respecting his movoments would indicate that ho roaehed the place whero lie met his death at about 10 oVIook at night and there had boon no train on tho long Island railroad later than 0:52 o'clock, so that tho pMsibility of his having baen struck by a locomotive passes out of tho question entirely. Mr.

Dunnen was an old traveler over the roads and familiar with their disa and could havo avoided the mud holo in which the wagon waa loft standing, provided ho was not asleep whon ho reached It. Mr. Dunnen visited Brooklyn on Monday with his wife and her sister. Lto remained in th'i city until Wednesday, when he came to Hicksvillo on a Long Island railroad train, his wagon having been left thero. Tho women had come to Hicksvillo in advauco of him, and meeting thom there ho put them on the 4:30 train for their home at Central Islip.

Tho nature of his buainess iu the city is not known, but he spent somo of the timo in consulting with Lawyer J. A. Wernberg. Dunnen's inability to meet bills incurred by him in his va rions enterprises was a constant sourco of trouble to him. About ton years ago ho koot a hat storo on Fulton street, in Brooklyn.

The business did not prosper and ho was oblige 1 to give itnp. He then became a traveling salesman for various firms, and remained in thia pursuit until his death. His lat employers woro Noely Co. of New York city. Ho waa a olover man and about 00 years old, and kindly in disposition.

His life ia said to havo baen ouoof continual worry. Some years ago lie becaino a widower. His wifo was the victim of a lingering illness, and during her siekuosfl she waa nursed a woman of about 25yoar8of age, whom' ho married a year after his wife's death. They did not livo happily. Onco she nailed down tho windows of the house, lockod tho doors and went away for Borne months.

Dunnon during the timo lived alone in tho houso. Sho declared that she would never roturn, but Bhe did. She woro a seal skin sacque while hor husband was in tatters. It is said that the old man deeded to her (he 175 acros of woodland and his homo at Central Islip to save them from his numerous creditors UNION A. C.
