Bjjjrhe jx sltions In the state service and the dla ci stjpn conferred nponjhlro to determine ai to' the mawnsr.ln which appointments to such positions BhaU 6e mad nr.d the like duty devolved ana discretion conferred upon the mayors or cities as to the municipal service, is not only not revoked by the constitution, but is expressly continued until some other method Is provided by law for making such 4. The civil service provision of the constitution, BO far as the classification of positions and the method of making appointments is concerned, is not self executing, but can only become operative through legislative, 5.

The discretion 'Conferred upon the governor to classify, positions lntne state service and upon the mayors of cities to classify poaltlons in the city service, if exercised honestly and in good faith, may not be reviewed at all by any court. C. If arbitrarily and dishonestly exercised It may be reviewed, but in such case only in a proceeding brought directly for.that'purposo, either to, correct Jtn existing classification or to compel a new one. 7. An action in the form in which this action Is brought will not He under any circumstances.

8. The civil service regulations, of. the City of Brooklyn being in conformity 'with the provision" of the constitution and statute, appointments made In with such regulations are valid. 9. The evidence introduced in this action by the plaintiff TU1 not sustain the' conclusions oT Tact cf the juice.

JO. errcrs in admission of evidence wor "inactfe during trial of this Edwctd M. sbopard opened the argument So: tho rfispenvJerus by stating that'll would hare be dc. ot r' 'or the officials cf Bhe city or state to cierve T'he law and make their ap pola fcmer; is upcil the basis of merit and fitness so fex as practicable, as tile constitution ppoviflsa, without any Inconvenience. The civil service section was drawn by those had civii service welfare a 'heart and i'te language was plain.

In the trial 'before Justice Keogh was urged as a matter of fact that examinations were practicable and reasonable, Thl fact was not denied specifically 'by any oi ide defendants, except the controller, who an rwwwed chat he' knew, not tftat he understood frprn information, and belief, but that he the places were not available to bo jfljr'd by cormpetiti've exa.ntinatii.ro. I1' was urged in argument by the defecse that Mayor Low, Mayor Schierea and Mayer Wurster had determined that petitions were not pceeJble to be filled by competitive exa.mi.na yttai, and yet net anywhere, even in the controller's sweeping bad or.e iota of evidence up to t'his 'time been adduced that the filling these places 'by examination was impracticable. Mr. Shepard read the warrants of Mayor cbieren and Mayor Wurster, assigning of ''BceS to schedule A. He showed there was not the slightest evidence that they gave a moment's consideration to practicability.

In that apeared to be furthest from their minds. Mr. Shepard quoted Jrc the words cC Judge Peokham in a recent decision relative to 'the "ervUs which exist under non competitive methods, and the speaker said be would be re as radical and Gxt.re.me if Vie used xnese wOTdi i making a rg men is in case. The speaker then wen: cn to describe the me'fhods cif the Brooklyn civil service commission in examining for various positions. He shewed hew the examination was varied as to the peculiar duties the tundidati rcntst be engaged if appointed.

For instance, ifae aime examination would not be given to "andiron moulder as to a policoxtin, or a for the health cr ac'ck master. Tho plan of chc cs aimissfener wo to iearn 'is much as possible cr the man. Ms i intelligence, his honesty and his educa tional equipment; The speaker fi tvclt lesgii upon the value of these examinations, as de itermining accurately Iitirei c'f men for po si xlccis: "Character was estimated in percentage figures for positions requiring henetcy: physi cal strength ana hailtt in fire and poMoe positions. Mr. Shepard reviewed at length the.

points made by him in the trial before 'Keogti. It was a part of that testimony that the distinguished witnesses called by the 'plaintiffs deeiarevi they had bean better served byappointces by examination than by those appointed without examination, and that the services' of the former were always more effective, than the services of the latter. Of course there were some cases in which com examinations were impractical, as ia fhe case ctf a prrva te secretary or the head of subordinate bureaus. Mr. Shepard then went on to discuss the Constitutional provision relative to the civil jjierjcicc.

He said it was wrons to construe a constitutional provision as different from a and that it was "likewise illogical to 'imagine that the constitution, which was specific, eould be read according to the more loo3e and broader laws which hart existed before. The constitution limited the law, not the law broadened the constitution. And yet the learned corporation counsel wanted to Interpret the constitution by the law. speaker did not allege bad faith on of Mayor Schleren or Wur ibf. There was lio question of bad faith.

It a question of power. Did these mayors lave the power to that these places "should be filled without examination when it was showu to be practicable to fill them by examination No; they might have had the Tftest will in the world, but they had not the to. act. They had no right to ap JSolnf'that the speaker himself. Justice Bartk't asked a question of Mr.

"Shepard. said the justice, "that it is the of tho court to interfere in a case where "it "Is clearly shown that a competitive examination is practicable, suppose the civil service Continued From Page 1. men.

SHOWED UP AFTER RECESS. His Apparent Inability to Follow the Testimony Led to a Conference Between the Court and Counsel Justice HurcVs Sharp Questions Did His Friends Take Him to a Turkish Bath? The third trial of Jacob Klein for alleged arson in the first degree was continued this morning before Judge Hurd' and a jury in tho county court; One of the jurors, Edward O'Halloran, was evidently not well when he took his Seat in the jury box, and he did not seem to be able to follow the ooutt proceedings with a clear comprehension of what was going on. When the day's proceedings wore begun Moses H. Grossman for the defenBe was about to begin enmming up when Judge Hurd, seeing O'Halloran's condition, asked him if he felt that he could not go on with the case and O'Halloran said be could. uIs there anything the matter with persisted his honor.

"No, sir," said the juror. Judge Hurd, Lawyer Elder, for the prosecution, and Assistant District Attorney Miles consulted, and it was decided that the case should go on. There were three witnesses called this morning by Mr. Miles in rebuttal of the defense. One witness was Abraham Bah renfeldt of 162 Ilivington street.

Now York, secretary of tho special lodge meeting held in New York, at winch it is claimed Klein was present on June 30, 1894, the night of the firo at 24 Jonnson avonue. Witness deolarod that Klein was chairman on tho night of tho meeting. A rogular meeting, ho said, was held on the night of Monday, July 2. 1894. David N.

Carvallio, the hand writing expert, was called to testify as to the hand writing in which tho minutes "of the meetings of the lodge were kent. It waB claimed that the minutes were written six months ago so as. to show that Klein was at the meeting on the night of. the fire; Judge Hurd, on Lawyer Elder's objection, refused to take Mr. Carvalho'a testimony.

While this witness was on the stand Judge Hurd, who had kept a sharp watch of Mr. O'Halloran, stopped the proceedings. He said 'Mr. O'Halloran, have you understood all this testimony?" 'Yes, sir," said Mr. Halloran, with some alertness.

"Well. Mr. O'Halloran, you. must try to keep awake," said nil; TionorV The trial then proceedeQ 'for the prosecution, Mr. Miles calling Fire Captain Freel of New York city.

Witness answered a long hypothetical question by Mr. Elder touching the theory of the starting of fires by accident, or otherwise. Judge Hurd would not permit the question to be answered. Both the prosecution and the defense rested their cases and Lavrj er Elder for Klein for ihe acquittal of. the on the ground that, there was not enough evidence on which the court could send the case to the jury.

The motion was denied. Then Lawyer Grossman began summing up. The only evidence for the prosecution that wa3 of any weight, ne saw, was truvt oi annre Rcsenbaum and Meyer Brenner, both con fessed firebiigs and clients of Mr. Miles. While Mr.

Grossman was speaking Mr. O'Halloran's condition seemed to grow worse and the. court Mr. p'Halloran was taken to charge, by umcer snevtrn, and it was said than, efforts would be "made to apolv restoratives, so that Mr. Halloran could go on with the case this afternoon.

When last seen the pair were seen going in the direction of a Turkish bath. O'Halloraoi returned to the court room late afternoon. All the other jurors were in their places when the court convened. Judge Hiird looked sharply at the juror and "Are you sure; you are 'all right now?" The jUTor replied that he was. 'and Mr' Gross man went on wifh his argument wmcn was discontinued Before receaBv The case was still cn when the Eagle went to press.

REPAIRS TO THE STEEPLE. Inspectors McGuire and Curtias of the building department paid a visit to the Trin ity Methodist Protestant church. South Fourth and Roebling streets, Monday fore noon and made another examination of ijhe repairs made to the steeple late Saturday night bv Contractor George W. Schaedle and a' gang' "men. Inspectbr 'McGnlre eaid that he was hot at liberty to speak or tne'Conai tion of 'the steeple, 'butt added that he expect ed tnat the report of tihe department would be made llonday afternoon.

Woen' tne inspector left, Trustee J. T. Wella was left in charge of the 'building. The report of Inspector Curtiss was made public by the superintendent of buildings this" morning. InMs report the inspector says that he.

with Inspector Maguire, went over the tower and the spire down to the base. He savs that the framework cf the tower and spire is bent above the belfry tha; the framing joints of the tower frame and spire principal rafters ana ties are loose ana ooen and that in a high wind an undue strain is caused on the join'ts and pins. The result is to weaken the steeple. Part of the leaning is due in all Eiro'bahilltv. he says, to the shrinkage of tlm ber on the north side, butt that the remainder of the leaning is due In consequence of the bending, crushing and sp'1'ittrng of the girders and the splitting of one of the sills.

The tower now leans several feet out of plumb toward the northeast. While he was investigating, says, Mr. Curtis, a small piece of timber broke from above and fel'l down by his side. The. report then gives in detail measurements and other, figures for the, information of the department.

WANTS $10,000 DAMAGES, Annie Clancy brought suit before Justice Smith in the supreme court this morning for $10,000 damagos against Crawford C. Smith, son and heir of Crawford Smith, who owned the premises at 99 North Elliott place, whoro plaintiff claims to have received the injuries wbich occasioned the present action.

Her spine was injured nnd she received internal injuries from which, it is.

claimed, Bhe will never recover. She appeared in court this morning and apparently had great difficulty in moving about. Kobertson is her counsel and H. C. M.

HAS WILLIS GONE THERE TOO? The City Works Commissioner Has Slipped Quietly Out of Town and It Is Thought That He Is Bound for Canton A Visit to McKinley by One of the Brooklyn Pilgrims Jacobs for Naval Officer. (Special to the' Eagle.) Canton, January 26 Tax Collector R. Ross Appleton and Walter B. Atterbury of Brooklyn are in this city and have had several conferences with President elect McKinley. They are not saying much about the object of their visit, and the subjects covered in their consultations are largely matters of conjecture.

It is pretty certain that they are chiefly here on behalf of Congressman Francis H. Wilson of Brooklyn, for a cabinet portfolio, probably that of the navy department. Soon after their arrival it was said that they constituted the vanguard of a Brooklyn delegation coming here to boom Mr. Wilson. This, however, they did not fully substantiate when seen by the Eagle correspondent.

They simply admitted that they would do what they could in the way of advancing the interests of Mr. Wilson, and that It was possible that other Brooklyn people might be here for the same purpose. Mr. Atterbury is also interested in Andrew Jacobs for whom he would like the appointment of naval officer for the port cf New York. General Stewart L.

Woodford is the most talked of New York man In cabinet gossip, and 'his stock is quoted pretty high. There is no authoritative Information given out here on 'the subject, but much comes from the outside, and those engaged in making cabinet conjectures have accepted him as pretty much at a fixture on their slates. Trains are be ing watched closely for the arrival of Mr. Woodford, but no one in the McKinley household will say when he is expected or even admtt that he Is expected. Has Willis Gone to Canton City Works Commissioner Theodore B.

Willis slipped quietly out of the city yesterday and if is suspected that he has gone to Canton to'see Major McKinley. This suspicion In strengthened by the fact that Tax Collector R. Ross Appleton still remains away. He and Walter B. Atterbury went to the President elect's home with the avowed intention of presenting the name of Congressman Francis H.

Wilson of this city for consideration as a cabinet possibility. It is said that Messrs. Appleton and Atterbury have also presented Andrew Jacobs as an available candidate for naval officer ot the port of New York. A Brooklyn Pilgrim to Canton Describes Kis Visit. The following letter ha been received from one of the Brooklyn men who have been visiting Camton: oiy, Hurford House, Cantcn, 0., January 25, 1897.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: exclaims the colored porter, a'p i preaching his victim to collect the expected quarter and incidentally to brush off a little of th.e dust of travel. This he does with a great flourish. He then ushers him cut of the car with extreme politeness, thinking possibly the traveler may be one of the many "mentioned" for a cabinet appointment. The other occupants of the car look at their departing traveling companion curiously wondering if lie is 'Rafter a job," and then gaze curiously out "61 the car windows to see vvhat this place now made famous looks like. Three or four statesmen step from tbe train; that Is said" to be just now the average per train, and there are 'six cr eight trains daily.

One traveler will probably bo met and carried up into the town by the McKinley family carriage, drawn by a horse. Major McKinley is one of the people, plain, simple, unostentatious and not changed one iota by promotion to his exalted position. rie ana nls family have not put on any "frills." and if governors, senators and visiting states men don't like his S15 horse and humble family cart they can take the dirty trolley car up tne mil ana men root it tho rest of the way. McKinley has been a godsend to Canton. Mtny a day 10,000 people came from all over tne country to uais EUrino and left many a hard earned dollar.

It is not generally under stood perhaps that the people of Can ton don't know a good thing when they see it, or ought to see tit, to use a expression. Notwithstanding tfhat the place is the (home of McKinley, it was a hot bed of free silverism. and even now could not be depended on to give a. majority for any hard money candi date, except tne major. In view of the" fact that haJ" 'tho people of the town were out of employment at the time of McKinley's nomination, in consequence of the depressed condition of Canton's industries tlhe Watch company, the Canton steel works and the chair factories ne wouid Slave suppceed tha: all t'he citizens wculd have vearned for his nomination.

To be sure, Canton did tne major a sma.l majority, but the mayor took the stump against him. McKinley lias 'been a good friend to the townspeople. He could have taken the Qtumn and traveled over the country, but instead, he stayed right here, and tne crowds came and the shekels poured into the pockets at the storekeepers. The old hotel "spruced a bit; served better meals, put In steam heat, and the (hotel clerk is now caving ud to "buy a diamond shirt "stud of appropriate di mensions. The crowds no longer coma, but in' their place is a steady oh, how steady stream of great men, statesmen all, full a' advice and suggestions.

How the major stands it, tno Lord only Knows. uanton is not an interesting town, and a stranger will find it a very dull place. Like other Ohio towns, it is laid out in squares, The streets and avenues are wide and the houses all detached, with plenty of space be tween and around them. The Junction of Market street with Tuscarawas avenue Is the business center of Canton. Major McKinley's house is about four squares up Market, street.

It is a plain but substantial country house, and unpretentious, no better than any other dozen houses in this place. The fence that was carried away in bits by visitors has been replaced. The ruined lawn is covered by a blanket of snow. If you visit the next President at his home the door is opened as soon as your feet touch the door steps and you are courteously received and ushered into the modest reception room, where stand the Major's desk and those of his secretary and assistants. Captain Heistand, U.

S. is at present assisting the major, and with Mr. Ccoper has a pleasant word for everyone, although they must be awfully bored by the steady stream of callers, which begins at 9 A. M. and continues all day.

Iu no way has Mr. McKinley exhibited his superiority over most men than in the way he has stood the strain on him from the well meant attentions of his fellow citizens. Few can realize what It means to make twenty five speeches a day and have a good word and a smile for everyone; and then to receive applications for office from thousands who have not a shadow of a claim or chance, and send them away without giving offense. All visitors unite in declaring William McKinley the most genial of men. It will save many a man money and time by informing all that cabinet appointments only are seriously considered at the present time and that minor appointments will not be made until after tho tariff bill is passed.

The interests of the many first, of the few afterward, will be tho programme. A BROOKLTNITE. FINKELSTEIN'S LICENSE.

Tho mayor said that he should refer the matter to the law department COURT OF APPAELS. Albany, N. January 20 Court of appeals calendar for Wednesday: Noa. 786, 787, 788, 703, 785, 789, 791, 798. IMPORTANT QUESTION DECIDED, Plaintiff's Back Was Broken by Falling Down an Embankment One Half of the.

Street Had Been Carried. Away to Make a Railroad Cut Decision That the Street Is a Public Thoroughfare. Actions Likely. The suit of Christian Stark against the City of 'Brooklyn and 'Uhe South Brooklyn Railroad and Terminal company, which has been before Justice Kecgh and a jury for a past, was concluded yesterday afternoon. This morning the jury haaded in a sealed verdict in favor of the plaintiff for The suit was for damages for personal injuries and was particularly interesting because the question 'was involved whether Thirty eighth strest is one cf the public streets of Brooklyn.

The solution was net less. important to tho owners of abutting property than to the city and the railroad company. It appeared that in 1880 the railroad company made a railroad cut on its property on the south side of Thirty eigh'tli street. In dcing this it carried away about one half cf the street, leaving the property owners with but half a street in front of their houses. The dirt and stones were used to fill in the land under waiter on the west side of Third avenue, now known as Ambrose park.

T'he accident to Stark occurred on Christmas night, 189 1, when he fell headlong down the emtianlnnent and into the railroad cut. At the Norwegian hospital it was found that his back had been broken. He remained there for over five months, most of the time with mechanical appliances on his back and limbs. His life was saved, but he is deformed and his right leg is partially paralyzed and practically useless. Assistant Corporation Counsel Cook, representing tho city and Colonel A.

B. Lamb appearing for the railroad company, baaed their defense principally on the claim that Thirty eighth street was not a 'public street, and that, therefore, the defendants were not bound to protect the public from the danger of falling down the embankment into the cut. Samuel S. Whitehouse, who represented Mr. Stark, produced old maps and records and deeds cf conveyance relating to Thirty eighth street.

He also a number of old residents tc prove that for many years the street was used by the public generally. A provision of the city charter was introduced, declaring that any street thrown out to the public use arid used as such for five years continuously should be deemed a city street. He also produced a resolution of the common council, adopted in 1889, declaring the street a public thorough faro. Oh this proof the jury decided that Tnir ty eighth street was a public highway: and 'that both tho city and the railroad, company were liable for failing to protect the plaintiH from the danger of falling down the embankment. Although the property owners on Thirty eighth street have been insisting for the past six or seven years that the city should compel the railroad company to restore the "street to its former condition, this is the first case in which the legal status of the street has, been tested.

At present it. ts but half a street, the southern, or missing half, be'lijg a jart of the lots or streets composing Ambrose park. Many of the property owners were in court during the trial, and from what some of them said it is likely that they will, unite in proceedings to compel the railroad company, or the city, to restore to them the missing half of the street. They claim that their property has depreciated in value, that the embankment is an eyesore and a nuisance and is dangerous to them and their children. They claim that eight persons have fallen into the cut within a radius of 100 feet from the place where Stark fell, and all but Stark died of the Injuries received.

These owners do not object to Mr. Ambrose and his associates having valuable real estate at the sids of New York bay, made by the earth taken from the railroad cut, but say they will not concede to him the right to take half of their street away from them in the manner stated. They will probably sue to have the company restore the street and to compensate them for the damage done to their property. ELEVATED ROAD BONDHOLDERS. New York Bankers to Devise a Plan for Their Protection.

August Belmont, William A. Read of Ver milye and Walter G. Oakman of the Guarantee Trust company, all of New York, are acting as a committee for their clients, who are holders of bonds of the Kings County Elevated Railroad company and the' Fulton Elevated Railroad company, for the purpose of looking after their interests in any plan of reorganization that may bo adopted. In addition to this they are seeking to be placed in communication with all holders cf the first mortgago bonds of both of those roads, whom they will advise of any action that may be taken looking to their protection. An Eagle reporter called on each of the parties named this morning and was informed that as yet nothing definite had been undertaken.

The object of the committee is to follow the workings of the railroads, devise some plan wliere by the bondholders may be protected and to keep these who send them their namos informed of its action and of whatever may be determined upon to afford them the best pro tection.
