The diplomats and politicians aro still discussing the reoent visit of the Empress Fredoriok to Paris. Count von Munater, tho German ambassador, attributes the moral oheck sustained by Germany to the luflnenco of Baron de Mohren heim, tho Russian ambassador, lu Paris whom the count irreverently designates as an "old monkey." Count von Munster'a supposition is believed to be mostly true. In addition the German embassy officials continue to criticise President Carnot's action in not calling upon tho EmpresB Frodorlck when she was in Paris, and it is stated that hereafter all arrangements will be made beforehand, should any other member of tho Imperial family of Germany visit the French cjpltal. ma Physicians Say His Death is a Quco lion of a Fenr Hoars. Rome, March 0.

The condition of Prince Napoloon is unchanged. All the members of his family, with the exception of Prince Victor, are hurrying to Home. Prince Victor declines to mako Bubmission, which is the only condition on which his fathor consents to roceivo him. Cardinals Bonaparte and Mermillod are in attendance upon tho prince, but thoy refrain from asking him to beoomo reconcilod with the church. The physicians in attendance havo announced that both of the prince's lungs are in a congested state, and they have informed tho family that a fatal issue to his illness is only a question of a few hours.

The prince rofusos tho proffered con. solation and tho administration of tho sacraments from tho pricBt3 who have boon admitted to his room. The sister of Prince Napoleon, the Princess Mathilde of San Donato, loarning of tho preaence of Mme. Oanisy at tho prince's bedside, refused to go to his room, though informed that her brother was dying TRIED IT THRICE A Despondent Barber's Efforts at Suicide.

Among the passengers on the ferryboat James M. Waterbnry of tiie Houston Btreet line when she left her New York slip tniB morning was a medium lized man, apparently a German, with gray side whiskers and hair and wearing faded dark clothes. There were only a few meu on tho boat at the time. When the boat neared its slip at the foot of Grand street the man wi from the rear cabin io the dock at a time when tho attaches wero in front. In a moment he drew a largo table knife, freshly flharpsuod and ground to a point, from his overcoat pocket and commenced slashing himself.

He first drew tho keen edged blade across his throat near tho chin and tho blootl spurted out on the deck. The next instant ho plunged the knife into his breast, near tho heart. The weapon struck a bono and glanced off. After giving himself another slash on the breaBt he discarded tho kuifo and jumped over tho rail into the river. The deck hands heard tlio splash and secured a ropo laddor, on which ono of them descended to tho water.

The boat had stopped near its Blip, so the deckhand, after a little difficulty, reached the would bo suicido, who offered resistance and' seemed determined on destroying his life. The rescuer held on to him and both wero hoisted on the boat. Tho man was taken to the waiting room, aud Officer William Jones summoned an ambulance." Surgeon Orroll responded and dressed tho wounds, which ho pronounced not fatal. Tho man seemed unable to understand the questions put to him in English and German and answered in an incoherent way. liis name or address could not bo ascertained, nor oould anything he loaruod about him.

The kuifo with which he cut himself was fastoned with a cord around his wrist. lie had two other knives in Ins pockets, one a table knife, five pennies and a bottle label bearing the "Herman llobeiu, 357 East Houston street, New York." The man waB taken to the South Third Blreot hospital. This afternoon the patient slated to House Sur gpon Edwards that hia name was John Brauu, ageI 0.) rcarj, no home, lie said that ho was a barber by trade.

Chairman Erwin of the Hcnato committee OB general laws that is holding a poat mortem on the sugar trust at the Hotel Mettopolo, New York, did not presido at this morning's session. Ha ont word that a sudden bereavement in tha death of hia father in law, Mr. Thomas Dart, callod him homo to Potsdam, St. Lawrence" county, and Commodore 1'.

Vcddor, aided and abettod by Senator Homy T. Coggcshall, Bnper vised the proceedings and admiringly watched Mr. Harris' vain efforts to extract information from witnc. soi whose failing memories seemed to suggest an epidemic of incipient uaresis aniODfr the sugar kings and their vassals. The first witness called this morning vrai Mr.

George S. Ellis, an ncconntant employed by the Central trust company to examine tho books of the susar truat in conjunction with Mr. Yalden and Mr. Heicke. The Central trust company was the agont for the reorganization of the sugar trust under the Jersey charter, and before taking cbargo of tho issue of the new certificates they wanted to know the assets and liabilities of the sugar kings.

Mr. Ellis said ho examined tlio books of tho old trust that had been handed to General Slocuni and the other receivers at the safe deposit company's oftioff, 100 Montat uo strtot, this city, where the books wtre kept. Ho was ncting under Hi direct instructions of President J. P. Olooti of the Central trust.

Ho bad not bad access to the books ui' the constituent corporations. "Did you ascertain the assets and liabilities of the triiBiV asked Mr. Harris. "Ves. My examination was mado on January 0, and I mad au abstract from the books that showed tho liabilities of the old trust to bo $11,.

075. 307. 5(1. OT this then; should be doduetod tbu siun of li which was paid out in Mivuleuds. Tim amount uf tiio actual net liabilities turned over to the trust was But didn't you understand thai there were eleven or twelve million doilars remaining undivided on the organization of the new trust?" the beoks didn't show it." "Didn't Mr.

Heicke, the bookkeeper of the trust, tell you so 1" "No. I got no information from anyone, though they wero all courteous. What I learned I learned from the books." "lint if the trust had between 11,000,000 and 12,000,000 should it not appear in your account for the sake of accuracy Certainly, if that money hid been received by the trust before the account was nude up." Here Elihu Bool assured Mr. Harris that he was on the wrong track, lor the $11,000,000 or $12,000,000 he was asking about had never been received by tho trust, but was still in the hands of tho constituent corporations. "If this be truo," retorted Mr.

Harris, "it should appear as an asset of the trust." As an accountant I could answer that question intelligently by saying that I understand tho money could only be duo to the trustees, and not to the trust as a corporation." "Do you know what was the object of tbe Con. tral trust in getting tho abstraotof the account that you drew from the hooks'; Wasn't it for tlio purpose of its being presented to the court in tho petition for the dischareo of tho receivers?" "Yes. sir: I believo it was, aud it was so used." Mr. Harris next tried to find out if the Central trust company kept list of the old and new stockholders of the. sugar trust, but Mr.

Ellis said he didn't know; lie supposed that such a list was kept. All he bad to do with was tho account books, lie pry into matters not within the scope of his instructions, which wero simply to see that tho nccoruit of moneys received and dishm ted by the trustees wrs correct. Mr. Harris then read an affidavit mado by Mr. J.

A. C. Anderson, in which ho said that up to July 1, 1800, $1 1,000,1102.50 had beon paid out in dividends, and liilis aid that appoared on the books. Then Mr. Harris said: "In the same ailidavit Mr.

Ainierson says that on September 1, 1800, there remained ou hand ill casli and in as. ets abovo tho liabilities a surplus of more than $1 1,500.000. Now, if that is true it should appear as an item in the books." "No, not on the books of the trustees." Percy B. Co.te, Mr. Harris' associate, "a sugar trust certificate holder could neither have asesrtsined thd true situation of tho different corporations in tho trust nor of tha trust "Xo, I don't tliiuk ho could." Then Mr.

Ellis gave a lengthy dissertation on why he made a distinction between the trustees and tbo trust, and it so wearied tho two members! or the committee that thoy exensod him and called J. Henry Dick, who usod to bo superintendent of the Dick A Meyer sugar ruiiuery, oil North Seventh street, Williamnburgli, and bo came president of tho Dick A Meyer company when it becamo a corporation in 1S7 and wont into the trust. Tlio committee would liave much preferred to examine the elder Mr. Dick, but, as lie is an old man of H7 years and contiued to hia hoiue, the subpeua servers had not been ablo to penetrate to his sick room at his homo, 250 Wythe avenue. Ills son, young Mr.

Dick, told tho committee that bis father and Mr. Meyer had started their sugar refinery in 1873 over lu Williamsburghwltli $40,000 capital, and had made and lost money year in and year out until 1SH7, when the trust invited them to step into its little parlor. He said the refinery bad a capacity of 2.500 barrels a day, but as he had nothing to do with the financial affairs of the concern lie couldn't tell tlioin anything about the profits that bad been made 1D tweon 1873 and 1887. He was then under 4 salary, had no recollection and could givo no figures. Ho said his father was one of the incor orators of the reorganized Jersey trust aud that himself had been given ten shares of the truBt stock to act as president of the Dick Meyer company when it became a stock concern for tha purpoao of entering tho trust, and that young Mr.

Meyer, the son or his father's partner, had received the same amount and was chosen secretary. TIIE COUUT CALBXDAUS. Lfklg of Cnuev to bo Called for Trial fScforc tho Judges To iuorroiv. Bartlott, J. UutfKoist rs.

jMBHOIDEHIES AND Tbo Woman Wtao wan Snot on Keturn Ing From a Ball Leave Her Hatband, Mrs. Nettie Oliver of 82 Havemeyer street, who was wounded by a pistol shot soma months ago after returning from a ball in Now York with her husband, Harry Oliver, president of the John J. O'Brien association of the Fourteenth ward, caused her husband a good deal of worriment by her Budden and unannounced disappearance last week. Mr. Oliver at first took his desertion iu a philosophical way, although all kinds ofirumors wero afloat, and instead of communicating with the police nursed his wrath and awaited developments such as would attend his own personal investigation.

In addition to losing his wifo and child his comfortably furnished apartmonts in the dwelling indicated wero stripped of all the furniture. Ho is iu tho omoloy of Kelly Flaherty, Bodford avenue undertakers, as a driver, and looks after the firm's table ou Roobling streot. He is a small, light man, not moro than five feet tall, and is spokon of by Mr. Flaherty as being sooiable and industrious aud always attentivo to his family. He was out driving in Now York last Wednesday and did not return until 7 o'clook in the evening.

When ho enterod.his rooms he was astounded at finding thorn vacant. There was nothing left but a oot, hia coat and an old conductor's cap, the ono ho wore years ago, when he was a conductor on the Franklin avenue line. He inquired of tho landlord about the moving and was rather surprised and indignant when ho heard that an acquaintance had superintended it. In fact, this friend had hired the wagon at $1 an hour at a neighboring livery stable. Mr.

Flaherty saw Mrs. Oliver while the furniture was being carted away and thought that it was with the husband's permission, and wondered why ono of his own vehicles was not used. Oliver, after Bevoral days, located the furniture at the house ot his mother in law, on Devoo street, and has, it ia said, discovered hia wife's Ho could not aceouut for Jier Btrange action iu leaving him, but their acquaintances think that a reconciliation will be effected in the not distant future. ASPIKALL 18 AM. RIGHT.

William R. MoGuire, one of the Democratic leadors in theTwonty first ward, whose illness on Saturday caused an adjournment of the assombly sub committee appointed to inquire as to whether Francia H. Relnliard or Joseph Asplnall had been elected to tho assembly from the Eleventh distriot, was in the court house to day. "I waB sick all the weok," Mr. McGuire said, "but oven if I were in tho committee room I couldn't givo any information of consequence.

I haven't got any documentary or other evidence to prove that Mr. Reinhard was elected. It looks to me as if somo lawyers who think the state will pay their bills aro keeping this up." HE IS GRATEFUL T. McCants Stewart Thanks His Friend the Mayor. Elocjuoat Acknowledgment of Ilia Appointment of Wiley G.

GTortoa at a Tolics rann It Will, Ho Sayi, Link Chapin'i Xatao With Thotes of CleyolaaeJ, Abbott and Hoadly. Wiley G. Overten, the first colored policeman on the force of this city, owes his appointment mainly 'to Mayor Chapin. His friends and supporters recognize this fact, and ono of tho most prominent of them, T. McCants Stewart, tho colored lawyer and Democratic orator, has writton to tho mayor thanking hira and warmly commending him for the appointment.

Following is the text of Mr. Stewart's letter which was given out at the mayor's office to day; Mayor Alfred C. Chapin: Dear Sin I wanted to write you yesterday wbeu my enthusiasm over the appointment of the first colored poliooinau in Brooklyn was at fever heat. Of course, you simply did your duty in shutting your eyes to tho man's color and, therefore, you do not wish any commendation. But when I remember tho strong prejudice that the peoplo of my raco encounter in the struggle for equal citizenship, and wheu I remember that your administration could havo legally passed Mr.

Overton's name, and whon I know that many doubts as to the wisdom of introducing a negro to the police foroo of our great city wore expressed, I must both thank you for, aud congratulate you upon, an act of courago and statesmanship that places you as a Democrat by the side of Cleveland anil Abbott and Hoadly. Your courage lies in the fact that you never had a doubt about Mr. Overtou's appointment, aa I woll know, and your statesmanship declares evon out of this small matter that "old issues have porlshed and now issues are born of time and progress," and that under our democracy all meu aro equal and havo common rights. After all, human llfo is vory short, and wo livo in our deeds, and those men build monuments more enduring than brass who stand by tho weak ami the ritruffuling. Afro Americana of tho city of Brooklyn will never forget Thomas Carroll, who was their friend in educational matters.

They will nevor forget fleth Low, who did much to destroy tbo color lino in civil and political affairs. And those who come after us willeite your administration as ono under which great strides were mado toward a complete Americanization of our great municipality. I fuel constrained to write this letter because so many commendations of your course in the matter of the colored polieoman have been spoken to me, oven by those colored citizens who are not of our party. They comment upon tho fact that under Domoorats tho oolored voto has representation in the department of city works, in flie tax ofllco, in tlio board of lioalth, in thn register's office, but that there was no representation in tho ofllco of tho Republican Bheriff, and thoro is none in tha office of the Republican coimly clerk. I do not believe that any of the race varieties in our cosmopolitan population should affiliate with the party for the spoils of oilice; but as long as human nature remains us it is and present conditions lat, so long will Afro Americans, like other people, act with the party and support the men that givo them their rights aud a fair share in the publio service.

Ono word moro: tho colored vote is uo longer solid for tho Republican party, "tho debt of gratitudo" is paid; UfA such men as yourself, Cleveland, Abbott and Pattison, would draw moro largely on our vote If it "were not for the attitude of the Southorn Democracy, whioh declares, often insolently, that this is a whito man's government. If leading aud influential Northern Democrats, like yourself, can convert tho South to believo that Jefferson was right when ho doclared that all men aro created equal in their right to life and liberty, and that manhood suffrage is Democratic, you would mako it easy for thousands of Afro Americans, who follow their convictions, to vote with tho Democratic party becauso they believe in a low tariff and aro opposed to trusts and monopolies. Vory respectfully, T. McCants Stewaiit. DEAD IS A DRAIN.

The Bodyo! a EToHHtl at lUilbitrnc Yesterday. Yesterday morning the dead body of a man was found lying in a drain near tho now pumping ata tion oT tho Brooklyn water works at Milburne. The body had from appearance laid where it was found for several woeks. The feet wore bare. A suspender was tied tightly about his neck and thero was a largo hole in tho back of his head.

Two dollars and ninety oight cents wero found in his vest pocket. No papers by which the body could bo identified wore found. Every indication points to tho fact that the man was robbed ana murdered, and that the body is that of one of tho men who had been to work ou the now pumping elation. Two weeks ago a coat and hat, now believed to have been tho dead man's, was found in the woods a short distance from where the body lay. Coroner Horton took charge of the body and will hold the inquost at Pearsail's to morrow.

Tho water works contractors havo several hundred Italians employed on the line of the work between Pearsail's and Baldwin's who during tho past winter havo resided in shanties on the edge of the woodB. Many acts of lawlessness havo been commited by these people and arrests have been frequent. Two suspicious deaths have occurred in the vicinity since the work commenced. A number of low saloons havo Bpruug up in tho woods along the line of oxcavations, in which broils are frequent. Two months ago an Italian employed iu tho works was beaten and robbed in one of these saloons, situated about two miles from where tho body was found.

Tho man died a few days later from the injuries he received. A number of arrests wero made, but no evidence could be obtained to convict auyono of the crime. The belief is general that tho body is that of one of the masons employed in tho works, who, after receiving his pay, visited one of tho saloons, and was robbed and killed and his body thrown where it was found.

Bergmann, Frederick Borgmann, Mary. Berg mann and Sarah A. Burke to fumiBh a further undertaking on the appeal to tho higher court.

Lawyer William M. ullen, who appears for the plaintiff in the action, produced an affidavit setting forth that he rccovored judgment for the possession of some real estate on Staten Island aud for damages iu the sum of $1,197. The case was carried by the defendants to tho court of appeals and for the last appeal ho dopoBea that they presented an undertaking executed by Robert H. Waldron and Franklin Wanda. This undertaking was objected to, but ou the oath of the bondsmen it was accepted by Judge Cnllen.

Tho surety. Waldron, swore that he was the boIo owner of property at 140 West One Hnu tired and Thirty seventh street, Now York, which was worth $14,000 and on whioh was a mortgage for tD.OOO. He said, that he bad no other liabilities exooot on a hotol lease at Oyster Bay, for not more than $3,000, and ft promissory note for $0,800.

Inqniriug into RIattiial Instruction in tiie Scltoolu. Throe quiet Phihvlolphians descended on Brooklyn this morning and thoir first inquiry was for the board of education.

When they reached the Livingston Btrcet building they wanted to know whero Suporintondent of Public Iustrnciion W. H. Maxwell could bo found. Dr. Maxwell was not in the immediate neighborhood, but Clerk Josiah H.

Pitts and Secretary George G. Brown showed the visitors around. Two of them, Mr. Steele and Mr. Wright, are members of tho Quaker city school board.

They had spent a day oi two looking over Now York schools, and concludod that a iook at Brooklyn would just about round off their visit to this section. "We are mnch interested in manual training in public schools," Mr. Steele exclaimed, "and havo devoted considerable attention to tho matter." It has been rumored for somo timo past that tho vacant place of superintendent of the Philadelphia schools had beon offered to Dr. Maxwell and that he had tho matter under consideration. The doctor has hitherto denied that any negotiations looking to his departure from Brooklyn to a new field were being conducted, but the visit of the Philadelphia inen sot tongues wagging again.

"Have you any other business ou hand further than an inquiry into manual training methodBV" Mr. Steele was asked. "Oh, wo are looking out generally for anything that will improve on our methods of teaching." It was after 1 o'clock when Dr. Maxwell me; the visitors, and thoy loft the board of education biiildiii2 immediately for one of tha school buildings. "If they wero trying to get Mr.

Maxwell away," said Secretary Brown, "they would go about the business in a different way." ANOTHER CLERGYMAN ROBBED. A Thief Eaters Pasitar Freeh's Itcaitlcucc DaariHg llisi Absence.

MONDAY EVEKING, MARCH 0, 1891. VITRIOL FIENDS Commit Dastardly Outrages at Jamaica This Morning. Thirty Strikiug Clsakuaktri Raid a Hea Uaiu Sbep, Crryia5 Bottlos of the Chemical, Destroy Its Gosfls aad Fixings aad Barn a Child TTitli tho Seat ly Sl8ff nly 6ns Arrwt. A ooinpany of Btrikinz New York tailors landed in Jamaica at 7 o'clock this morning from an electric car and proceeding to a house which belongs to the estato of the late William Hastings pf Brooklyn broke in a door io a rear oxtension and demolished everything in the room. Thero were twenty eight or thirty mon in the parly, and ome of them carried barB of Iron, hammers and axes concealed nnder their coats.

Others armed themselves with big cobble Btones and two of tho men carried beor bottles filled with vitriol. An Advance party visited tho village on Sunday and laid the plan of attack. The Hastings building was formerly a noted road house. It was erected by Terence O'Brien, who carried on the hotel business for a numbor of years and (lied in poverty. William Hastings took tho property for debt and it his been associated with all sorts of uuluoky vonturcs for a score of years.

Tho tenants now are Billert A Oreenbanin. They carry On tho business of manufacturing jackets and cloaks for Benjamin fcaspara of 405 Broadway, New York, a wholesale dealer in manufactured garments. Billert Grecnbaura formerly carried on tho business of manufacturing in Brooiuo street, but they were not In the union and did not oinploy union men. When the strike was declared they were obliged to close their place, and hoping to elude the spies of tho union they quietly slippod put to Jamaica and hired the old hotel property, where they were Boon at work. They have been in tho villago just ono wook.

They employed six men and two women. The front room on tho ground floor of the building was occupied as a Bleeping apartment by Mr. aud Mrs. Greeu baum and thoir two children. The adjoining rear room was tho kitchen and living apartment and the ono atory extension was tho work room This waB fitted np with ton sewing machines, several long cutting and basting tablcB and a large iron a tovo on which were a number of smoothing irons Tho stoTe was red hot.

Mrs. Groenbaum was in tho kitchen prepar ing the morning meal. Tho tailors wero not yet put of bed. Mrs. Graenbautn's child of about 7 years of age was sitting on ono of the tables in the workroom playing with a dilapidated doll wheu tho attack was made on the workroom door.

Mr. Groonbauui had just finished dressing when his wife rushed into tho bedroom and told him to fly or ho would bo murdered. Uo left the homo by a window and ran ud to tho town hall for polico assistance, but the hall was locked np. Mrs. John Distler, who resides next door, heard tho noise and aroused her husband, who hurried out of tho houso to seo what tho trouble was.

His bartender, Frank Arnold, followed a minute later aud carried a club, llo was struck on tho shoulder and knocked down. The strikers left tho electric car in two squads and approached tho houso from two directions The men who carried tho implements of destruction entered from Church street. Tho men who wero not armed picked uo stones of five and ton pounds' weisrht from beuido au oleetrio Dole, whero they had been left by the railroad employes who had been laying cobble stones in tho street. Tho door was easily forced open and, no person save tho little uhild being In tho room, the work of destruction proceeded hastily and without interruption. If tho lirm'i tailors had been at work perhap3 some of thorn would have been killed.

Every sewing machine in the room was demolished. Tho tablo3 were upset and tho smoothing iron3 tossed from the stove. They were bo hot they set the floor on fire. Two lees were knocked from under the stove, in which a fierce coal lire was raging, and the wonder is that it did not fall over and create a conflagration. John Distler throw water on the firo started by the irons and put it out.

The men with the vitriol went about throwing it upon tho goods and tu their excitement threw tho liquid upon the face and hands of Mr. Greoubaum's child, burning her dreadfully. The child had been knocked to the floor whon tho work tables were upset and her prosenco was not easily discerned in the crowding and excitement of the moment Tlio half made goods were all destroyed, soma by culling and soino by tho vitriol. A. number of tho mou carried large shears and one fellow hurled his at John Displor'a head as loon as he entered the building.

Tbe men left tho village by the same car on which they arrived. Mr. Distler telegraphed to Captain French, in tho Twenty sixth ward, to arrest the gang, but only ono man was captured. Constable Ashmead aud Mr. Groenbaum went to the city on tho next car.

Mrs. Greonbaum knows Cue men who threw tho vitriol and five others. lie says they aro Austrlans. Warrants will bo Usued for all of the men who are known. Frank Ilango, a middle man, who claims to reside in New York, was arraigned before Justice Kcnna to day, by Detectivo Walter Hardy of the Seventeenth precinct, charged with throwing a quantity of Titrol in the face of tho child.

Ho was remanded aud will be turned over to tho Jamaica polico. KOBEUT UAY UAHILTON DECLARED DEAD. Surrogate Riiksmoiu Arlmit ISisi Will to Probate.

A. Powell Leaves the Pulpit for the Bar. Tbe Fattor of the La Atshbo tional Clinrch Surprises Hit ParishionersCarrying Ont a Long Contemplated Porpoie A Snecejifnl Clarffjmas's Cursor. The members of the Lee avenue Congregational church received a big surprise laBt night when the pastor, Rev. Henry A.

Powell, D. announced that he was about to retire from the ministry and that hereaftor ho would be found practicing as a lawyer. This determination on tho part of Dr. Powell has been known to a few of tho trustees of the ohuroh for somo time past, but they havo kept the matter a secret at tho dootor' request. Dr.

Powell had 'been considering tho change, and undoubtedly this had much to do with his refusal to accept the recent call extended to him by tho old South church of Worcester. Mais. The announcement of tho retirement was made in an informal way and no letter of resignation accompanied it. After his sermon Dr. Powell read a notice of a meoting that would bo held to night to take action on the resignation of the pastor.

Then ho spoke briefly to the congregation, saying: lu all my thoughts the of this church has ever held a prominent place. In its work I havo spent some of thebest years and best efforts of my life, but it lias now reached a condition of prosperity which will enable it to continue its work after a change of pastorate without any perceptible loss. For eight years we have toiled together in this apirit of lovo and unity, and now in tho same sririt I ask you to release me from my pastoral obligation. I am confident that I can convince you tint from my standpoint the step which I have taken is tho right one. IuBtcad of standing upon tin platform I shall sit in a pew of this church and I shall heartily cooperate with you iu tho work of the congregation.

Dr. Powell waB aakod last night, at his home, on Bedford avenue, for his reason for leaving tho ministry. He said: "For threo years I havo had serious troublo with my throat, that made it a question whether my voice would give out. Every Sunday for two years I have gono into tho pulpit with trepidation. I am under the treatment of a specialist who has restored my voioe to its normal condition, but who says there is danger, through climatic changes, in a relapse leas frequent uso of my throat, I am told, will tend to mako tho euro complete.

I was educated for tho law almost fiom my childhood, and whilo my ministry hero has boon successful and pleasant, I havo had for three or four years a constantly increasing inclination to step out of tho pulpit and outer upon tho legal profession. While thoro has been many things which havo beon pleasant and enjoyable with the ministry, there havo been other things which have not beon so pleasant. The unpleasant things havo not been related to my congregation, but to some of the details in connection with a minister's work. When I began my ministry eight years ago the Lee avouuo church was in a weak condition. Its membership has largely increased, and its incomo haa been advanced from $3,000 to $11,000 a year.

I feel that the ohnrch has reached a condition of strength where I can loavo it without any injury, and whore my successor can stop in and continue the work to advantage. During the past live years I have had opportunities to effect a connection and assured position with an ablo practitioner. I expcot to form a partnership with Mr. Jaines 0. Foley, who Is ono of tho loading younger members of tho New York bar.

I havo talked tlio matter ovor with tho trustees and deacons of the church and whilo they regret my leaving and havo used overy endeavor to induce mo to roraaiu, still they feel that I am entitled to be guided by my own inclinations and wishes and by eight years' work in their midst havo earnod the right to retire with kindest regards aud host wisheB. I have decided that I will remaiu with this church, and hereafter I will sit in a pew and heartily co operate with the congregation in receiving my successor and will do everything to advance his work." Dr. Powell was born September 10, 1851, at Chatham, Columbia county. He was fitted at Fort Edward institute and entered Union college, Schenectady, graduating in 1873. His theological studies wore carried on at tho same institution, whero he graduated in 1870.

His first pulpit was that of the Old Buahwiok Reformed church, this oity. His ministrations began Juno au, 1870, and continuod seven yoars, or until April K5, 1883, whon he wont to his present parish. He studied law while with the Old Bushwick society and graduated from tho law department of tlio New York university in 1883. Union college gavo him his D. D.

in 1880. Ho has travoled extensively in Europe. Ho is now chaplain of the Forty seventh regiment. The surprise caused by Dr. Powell's action spread throughout the eastern district this morning, and tho fact that a man who had brought two churches out of financial difficulties and has made them prosperous should retire from tffi ministry while at the height of success, as Dr.

Powell is, was commented upon by many people. Tho genera impression that there was somo reason that had not beon given for tho actiou prevailed, and while nono of tna officers of tho church would toll what this reason was a roportor got two statements from two of the church members, which, when put together, seem to solve tho mystery. Oliver P. Miller, tbe superintendent of tho Sunday school, told of an object that Dr. Powell wished to achiove, and Edward E.

Blohm told what that object is. Dr. Powell wants his consre gation to expend $15,000 in remodeling tho church, and the trustees want to pay of the ohurch deb't of 5:25,000 beforo any furthor expense is incurred. Mr. Miller said he believed Dr.

Powell had no other motive than tho saving of his throat, iu which a tumor has existed for a long time, and that for that reason only he wished to change his profession. When askod if there had not been a clause about remodeling the church, ho said Dr. Powell wished the church remodeled aud tho society had voted to carry out his wishes at an expenBO of $15,000. Tho matter was referred to the trustees, who had not as yet taken action, but thero was no clash. Mr.

Blohm had been in consultation all morn iug with Dr. Powell and other members of tiie church, and when he was asked by tho reporter what the secret of hia actiou was he replied: "Dr. Powell has an object to cany out and ho exuocta to carry it out by tendering his resignation." "What is the object "I am not at liborty to say. You know once before, whon ho wanted a choir aud tho trustees did not, he tendered his resignation and by so doing ho gained his point." "If the church would agree to expend $15,000 in remodeling tho church would Dr. Powell withdraw his resignation?" askod the reporter.

Mr. Blohm looked surprised and answered: "I guess you have seen someone olae." Finding that the reporter kuow what theobjcot was he admitted that tbe morning had beon Bpont iu diacusBing tho proposition of remodeling with Dr. Powell aud that, as no conclusion had boen reachod, there was to be a further discussion this evening He, Mr. Blohm, had said ho would subscribe $500 toward increasing tho salary of tho pastor, which is now $4,500 a year, but would not give $1 toward improving the church until the dobt had boon paid, Dr. Powell's plan, ho said, included moving the chapel around to tlio roar of tho church and selling the full block of lot3 facing on Lee avenue.

Mr Blohm opposed this, aa he expects the church will soon have so largo a membership as to require a building covering all tho property, wuioh will bo as as large as Dr. Talmage's tabernacle. Dr. Powell did not givo a point lu the argument and, tho opinion is that if ho cannot carry out his wish he will bo como a lawyer. WANTS A DIVORCE.

Mrs. McSwyiioy Brings Action on the (jironncl of FnithlcssiacMa. Catharine S. McSwyney has jut begun an action for apsolute divorco iu the supremo court, Now York couuty, against her husband, Bryan McSwyney, who has been for many years a well known shoo merchant on lower Broadway, New York. The complainant's charges are not particularly agreeable ones to answer in court.

The couple were married over twenty four years ago at St. Andrew's Roman Catholic church at Duano street and City Hall place, New York. They havo no children. Mrs. McSwynoy alleges also that hor husband for the past seven years has grown weary of her charms aud haa sought the company of other women, particularly with a woman Bella Malono.

The complaint specifies ono of the places whoro Bella was met as at Fifty fifth street aud Socond avenue, Fort Hamilton, in 1880. In December Bella is mentioned as meoting tho gay defendant at 115 Flatbuah avenue, and living with him there for quite a while. Preference for a trial in Now York county is expressed, but as the dofondant owns considerable property hore in Brooklyn tho papers in tho suit are filed here. Mrs. McSwyney sues to have this property sequestered for tno purpose of insuring her alimony.

She Bays that tho defendant owns a saloon that iB worth $50,000, beside property at Fort Hamilton, Brooklyn, and the storo in Broadway. CHlEMS 8. C01UBS IS TOW. After an enforced abnonco in the West for about two years Charles S. Coujes has roturnod to this city and was Been on Brodway yesterday.

Everitt's Boarding Fashionable House. Exciting Experleucoi of Some Well Known Brookljnites ia Her Establishment Mr. Edrrnrd Simpson's Emphatio Arcnnuat. A Qneer Story From tho Heisrhta. Butchers, bakerB and candlestick makers, one prominent real estate agent, and goodness knows how many other peoplo doing business on the heights wore about town to day anxiously inquiring for Mrs.

Edith T. Everitt, who for moro than two months past has boon running a fashionable boarding house at 140 Joralemon stroot. Iiiquiry revealod tho fact that tho charming Mrs. Everitt, for everyone, evon her numerous creditors, acknowledg that sho ia oharming, had folded up her tent ou Saturday last and silently stole away, leaving uo trace behind and plonty of bad bills as a reminder of her persuasive qualities and the gullibility of her victims. Up to the middle of last December a party of well known peoplo boarded together at 170 Romson street.

In this party wero Harry MoKeevcr, John Powers, Frank Bailey of tho Brooklyn club, and a prominent local financier, Mrs. Bailey. Edward Simpson, with his wifo and daughter, and two or throe others. How it came about at this time, none of tho party seems exaotly to know, but to one of them came Mrs. Everitt, bearing introductions and recommendations of a high order.

She said that being in somewhat straightened circumstances, although accustomed to the luxuries and amenities of high life, she desired to open a boarding house. Sho sketched iu glowing torms what her ideas for a house of this kind were and dwolt appetizingly upon a dally table d'hote dinner, with boup, fish and an entree which she intended to serve regularly at her place. All that she required was for a nice party of say a half dozen or more women and men to agree to como to her and sho would rent a house on tho heights and begin business. Mrs. Ever itt'B references were iuveatigatod by Mr.

SimpBon and ho found upon inquiry that Bho was of good family, that sho had formerly owned ft house on Madison strot, that sho had a huBband named Charles and that she had passed a greater part of last year traveling on the continent. Ho did not learn, however, that tho Madison street houso had been left to Mrs. Everitt a short time boforo her departure for Europe, that she had realized on the property by placing throe mortgages unon it, and had in the language of tho Itialto. "blown" the prooeedd in ou her European trip, and then returned to Brooklyn absolutely ponnlless. Satisfied with his investigations, Mr.

Simpson reported the mattor to his friends, and they all agreed to become Mrs. Everitt's boarders. No sooner had thoy notiflod hor of their decision tban she called at tho ofllco of D. Chauncey on Montague street, aud secured the handsome brown stono front, 146 Joralemon street. She paid the Ohaunceys a few dollars deposit, gave as reference hor newly found boarders, and took possession at onco.

By paying tho Brooklyn furniture company $300 this by the way is tha only money that by tho olosost inquiry it can bo found that she paid out she had her boarding houso elegantly and fashionably furnished throughout ou the installment plan. Nothing but tho best would suit her. Velvet, andAxminater carpets, rich hangings'and portieres she ordered without regard to their cost. She then succeeded in getting credit for a big lot of diBhes, table linen and cooking utenBils, and when everything was in apple pie order notified the party at 170 Iiomsen street. They all moved in, and for a while everything went along swimmingly.

Mrs. Everitt's incomo from her boarders was nearly $300 per week, and te do her justice sho ran tho house in first class shape, even to the table d'hote dinner with the soup, fish and entree, but at the ond of the first month it was noticed by some of the boarders that their fair landlady was not attending to business as conscientiously as formorly. She waB seen to start out after dinner almost evory evening for the theator. accompaniod more frequently by a tall and military looking man than by her hnaband. Then it was observed that mysterious baskets containing long necked bottles with gilt edgod corks wero on frequent occasions hustled into tho house through the basement entrance As nono of tho boarders ever saw these bottles again they began to suspect their landlady of living too high.

Mr. Bailey was the first one of tho party to decamp. Ho notiflod Mrs. Everitt a little over a weok ago that ho intended to leave, and ou Monday last ho moved over to the St Georgo hotel. The other boarders speedily followed his lead.

Tho last Mr. Bailey saw of his fair landlady sho yras seated at her rosewood upright piano singing selections from and tho trunks wore moved out to the livoly measures of "Tho Flowers That Bloom in the Spring, Tra La." Early last week Mrs. Everitt announced to hor boarders that her husband had gono to St. Louis on buisiness. Thursday she Baid ho was still there, but it has sinee.been discovered that he was not so vory far away, for ho returned in time on Thursday to remove surreptitiously from the house two trunks containing all of his and Mrs.

Everitt's valuable personal effects. Mrs. Everitt's fine diamond solitaire earrings, which sho had informed one of her boarders in a burst of confidence alio had been able to got out of pawn with the monsy sho mado in tho boarding house, were also placed in a securo hiding place. On Friday things began to get very hot about 140 Joralemon street. Neighboring butchers who had trusted Mrs.

Evoritt for many succulent roasts and fat turkeys, groccrymen who had delivered without recompense sundry barrels of sugar, boxes of toa, and other debtors importuned for their money, itntl lastly an agont from tho D. M. Chauncey compauy demandod the rout of tho house, upon which she had iu roality paid little or nothing. It was probably owing to theae annoying little incidents that the tempers of both Mrs. Everitt aud her husband wero considerably ruffled, aud when their principal boardor, Edward Simpson, who had been the last to remain, came in and announced his speedy departure, Mr.

Everitt roundly berated him for deserting them at that timo, and ended up by becoming so insultiug in his language that Simpson folt called upon to assort himself, and not in tho easiest miiinor procooded to punch Eventt'a faco. After he had relieved his feelings iu this way ho brought a furniture truck around to the house and moved his effects out. As far as can bo learned Mr. Simpson was the last person to see tho Everitts. They disappeared after ho and his family loft as completely as if they had been wafted away by a cyclone.

No ono Booms to have the least idea whero thoy havo gone, and innumerable creditors arc bewailing their departure. The house on Joralemon street is no2 in charge of one of Chauneey's agents, and the Brooklyn furniture company has removed what ever furniture thoy could lay their hands on. MR. SPENCER TRASH'S LOSS.

M. Applebaum, who lives at 41 Garden place, had the satisfaction of preventing hia pretty 18 ear old wife from marrying anothor man. The scene was an ex citiug one when tho husband and the prospective bridegroom walked In on tho unsuspecting girl and was oaloulated to upset the nerves of a stronger minded woman than Mrs. Cohn. Harris and Mary had only been married since October 20, when they we're made one at the Willoughby avenuo residonoe of Justice Pettorson, in this city.

Then Mary was vory much iu love with Harris. She took him for better or for worse in the hope of freeing him from the most extraordinary kind of persecution, a kind which seems impossible under our enlightened lawB and in a civilized community. The persecution was inflicted, how over, iu New York. The story of Harris' career and tho events which led up to tho denouement of Thursday oovor considerable time. The narrative naturally divides itiolf into two chapters, at the head of each of whioh is a girl.

Young Cohn speaks very imperfect English and his employer, Mr. Applebaum, acted as interpreter for him when the Eaqle reporter called at his residence on Saturday. The following is the substance hia story Tho first chapter began about two years ago, when Cohn was working for a Mr. Siegel, a tailor. Rosa Lavinski, a Polish maiden, was employed there too, aud she beoame infatuated with him.

Rosa decided to haye tho young man for a husband. Siegel was apprised of the girl's plans, and he urged Oohn to take the girl and her little fortune of $500. Oohn widely opened hia eyos and declared that he would not think of it, as his affections were already moro or less engaged. The matter dropped thero bstween the men, but Rosa consulted a This lawyer, Cohn ai sertu, advised the girl to secure a warrant for breaoh of promise of marriage. Oohn was arreBtod May 20, 1890, at his home, 83 Eldridge street.in New York and taken to Ludlow Btreet jail.

Ho was locked up at 8 :30 o'clock in the evening and kept there until 5 o'olook the next afternoon. Ho wanted to know what it was all about. No one would tell him and ho was advised to havo a. lawyer. Ho consented, and a man whose office is near tho jail was summoned.

ThiB man, Cohn says, visited him in jail aud askod him how muoh money he had. Cohn replied that he had $70. The lawyer asserted that if he would give up the $70 to pay a certain assemblyman in New York ho could get him out of jalk Tho money was forthcoming at onco from the terrified Cohn. On July 18, Cohn adds in his story, a man came to his house and said he had a job for him. Whea ho got outside ho was arrested and again taken to Ludlow street jail aud kept there nine days.

Cohn had not been arraigned beforo a justioo on the occasion of his first arreBt, neither did he see a Justice during Mb second incarceration, nor his third, whioh came later. The prisoner asked for his lawyer as soon as he darkoued the Bomber portals of the jail, but evidently with the intention of thoroughly fllling the young Russian's bouI with horror ho was allowed to languish for four days before tho astute limb of tho law turned up. Then the attornoy told him, he alleges, that he could fix it if ho had $40 to give the assemblyman to go on his bail bond, aud $15 for himself and $20 for a man to go around aud get the obligiuf? lawmaker. Colin appealed to all his friendst sold two machines that he had, a coat and a watch, and got tho $75 necessary for the expenses. A.

couple of weeks later Cohn was going out of tho Thalia theater on the Bowery when two officers arrested him on an alleged judgment which stood agaiust him in court Cohn had $7 in his pocket and ho gavo it to the men to lot him go. On September 15 Cohn was in 00 Essex street, when ho was arrested again by officorB, who told him that his previous bail was "straw." He was in Ludlow street jail two days this trip, and on the advico of his lawyor gave up $40 for a bo called genuino bail. In tho meantime Rosa LavinBki, who had beon the ostensible cause of all thia trouble, had been as badly fleeced by her lawyers as Cohn had by his. Nearly $200 of her fortune was gone, But she held on to the pursuit with the Bame grim determination as before. Throughout all this period and for a timo beforo, Mary Anaher, a tall, graoeful and pretty Russian Jewess living at 30 Elm street, had stood high iu Oohn's affections.

She reciprocated tho gentle passion and took a deep intorost in Oohn's periodic incarcerations. She had given him $25 to got free at the timo of his second venture in Ludlow street. Cohn's employer, Mr. Applebaum, began to look into his affairs and brought the young man ovor to this city to live at his own home, 41 Garden place. Hers Mary visited Cohn and mado horBClf quito a favorlto with the Applobaums.

Ono day Mary suggested to Harris that they get married to put a final quietus on tho pursuit of the persistent Rosa. Cohti was not unwilling and so they wont beforo the amiable justice, as recorded above, and became Mr. and Mrs. Cohn. A few days after the ceremony Mary departed on a visit to relatives in Montreal, Three letters couchod in the most affectionate languago came back and then the correspondence ceased.

Mary remainod In tho ico bound metropolis until the early part of last month, whon she roturuedto her family and friends in Now York resplendent as to jowelry and radiant aa to smiloa. Bho did not tell Cohn that ahe had como back, and ho was surprised one day to meet her ou the streot. Ho was more surprised when his fond wife walked by him Rud refused to recognize him. Cohn a few days later learned that his wife was boastlug of her engagement to a young man in Canada, from whom she had received several hundred dollars' worth of jewelry. The girl was free to givo the happy flanco's name, which was Morris Wolf.

Now, Wolf's parents were members of tho colony of Russian Jews in New York and lived at 113 Norfolk street. Morris had strayed away from the parental roof to mako a fortune for himself in Montreal. Naturally enough, he still fraternized with his countrymen in that city and met the goiitlo Mary and wooed her as a siugle girl, for bo she was introduced to him. Cohn had no Boonor cainod the valuable information that hiB wife was planning to bo the better half of two men at onco than ho mado his way to the elder Wolfs and told thorn of tho faots. They wero almost as indignant as Harris and tolcgraphed for their son to como on at onco to New York.

Mary gave it out to her friends that she was to start for Montreal ou Saturday and was making every preparation for her nuptials which wero to take place at her cousin's reaideiioe in tho frigid capital on Friday next. Wolf immediately upon the receipt of the telegram aud without a word of warning to his prospective brido, set out for New York arriving in the oity on Tuesday of last week. He mot Cohn by appointment. The latter had no direct proof of hia marriage, so the pair came over to Brooklyn and each got a copy of the Cohn Ausher marriage license at tho hoaith department, paying 50 cents apiece thorofor with apparent guato. On Friday morning Mrs.

Wolf sent word to Mary that she had heard of her engagement to her son and that she wished to moot her at her homo. Tho unsuspecting girl arrived in due time, and muoh to her surprise sho was confronted with her lover from Canada. After tho usual exchange of greetings in which W'olf evinced a marked coldness, tho latter handed Mary a picture of Cohn and asked her if Bhe know that man. Mary declared that she did Hot. "Well, if you.

don't know the picture I will bring the man in alive," aaid Wolf. He dodged into anothor room and brought out Cohn in flesh aud blood. Mary turned very pale. "Don't you know this man now?" insisted Wolf. The girl hung her head and replied: "Yob; I iiavo Been him several times." Cohn gazed sadly at his dark eyed better half iu a vain hope of some sign of the old affection and then asked "My wife, will not you recognize your husband?" Tho girl, thoroughly nonplussed, rushed from the room aud went directly to her parents, whilo the two young men remainod to congratulate themselves upon tho timely discovery of Mary's duplicity.

Wolf has returned to Cauada. KILLED lli A FALL, Fatal Termination of a Heavy Drinking' Bout. Bernard MoCaffrey drank heavily all Saturday forenoon, aud, going to his homo, on the third floor of the frame tenement houso, 188 Sanford street, had four pintB of boer. Ho then left homo aud drank moro at various places. About 11 o'olock Saturday night he returned, much intoxicated, and, on reaching the lauding iu front of hia own door, missed the step and fell backward to the bottom of tho flight of steps.

McCaffrey's wife, hearing tho noise of the fall, came out and, aided by George O'Rorke and wife, who live on tho floor bolow, succeeded in getting McCaffrey upstairs and laying him in bed. It was not suppoied that ho had sustained any injury until about three hours later, when, as he still continued unconsolous, Dr. John Given of Bodford avenue waB called Inland found that the man was suffering from a fracture of the base of the skull, and that the ease wA a hopeless one.
