forty-eight hours. After gesticulating and talking a great deal to each other, the prisoners derided that they did not want to go back to Police Headquarters. When the decision of the prisoners was made known to Magistrate Barlow, Captain Becker of the I'nlon Market station and Detective Carey of the Central Office stepped up on the bridge. For several minutes they talked In a low voice to the magistrate. When they had finished Magistrate Barlow said he would remand the prisoners back to Police Headquarters.

Eight of the prisoners held to-day, whom the police assert are both members of ihe Mafia and a big counterfeiting gang, were arrested last night by detectives of the central office staff In connection with the murder of the man whose tody was found crowded into a barrel. Inspector McClusky said that for months he had been working In conjunction with the United States secret service men in keeping the members of this gang under the strictest surveillance, and fays that It Is through the work of the federal authorities that be hoped to connect this band with the murder of the man whose still unidentified body is now In tho Morgue. Three of tho secret service men declare that on Monday night last they saw the murdered man In company with three of the prisoners in the butcher shop at 16 Stanton street. These men -visited the Morgue on Tuesday night and positively Identified the body there as that of the man whom they bad seen In the butcher shop. In the basement of a cafe at 226 Elizabeth street, where some of the eight men were arrested, and which la said to be one of the headquarters of the band, the police found throe barrels, one of which Is Identical In appearance to that In which the mutilated body was found.

Both Inspectors McClusky and Schmitt-berger assert that they are almost certain the man was murdered by the same band that murdered Meyer Welsbard, the traveling Jeweler of the lower East Side, some two years ago, and stuffed his body Into a trunk, and that did away with the grocer. Catania, of Brooklyn. Catania was murdered last October. His body was found at Bay Ridge sewed up In a gunny bag. It was found by two boys.

OLD GUARD IS SUING. Boom for James Shevlin for Mayor Sets the City Politicians Aguessing. TAMMANY VETERAN SPEAKS OUT Resourceful Commanders of the Wigwam Lining TJp for the Approaching City Campaign.

Ex-Fire Commissioner John J. Scannell, who has spent the winter at his stock farm, at FIshklll Landing, la In town. He came very quietly on Monday and yesterday he installed himself In Suite 43 at the Hotel Bartholdl, where a score or more of the prominent Tammany Hall politicians called on him. Mr. Scannell Is tho commander of the Croker "Old Guard" of Tammany Hall.

He has held that position by natural selection ever since Richard Croker took the leadership of the Tammany organization, eighteen years ago. It was Mr. Scannell, In fact, who Induced Mr. Croker to assume the leadership, when, on the death of John Kelly, Tammany was undecided and worrying about the succession. Previously, Scan-roll stood with Croker In his fight against Tweed.

More recently, Mr. Scannell has Indicated his friendship, both personal and political, for Mr. Croker, in striking ways. In 1897, when Croker retired from tho leadership and asked his friends to vote for John C. Sheehan to succeed him, Scannell refused point blank, declaring that he would never vote for any other man to lead Tammany Hall so long as Croker lived, Readers of tho Eagle will remember how Mr.

Scannell, on the eve of his departure for Saratoga last spring, declared that Mr. Croker should sell everything he possessed in England, como back to New York and resume the leadership of Tammany Hall. At that time, Charles F. Murphy, the present leader of Tammany; Louis F. Haffen and Daniel II.

McMahon were the advisory committee of the hall, temporarily exercising the functions of leadership. The present is a somewhat exciting week in Tammany. Mr. Haffen's Bronx banquet, Mr. Hopper's Harlem banquet and the banquet of Ml'.

Carroll's Jackson Club all very big Tainmnuy affairs have started the political ball a-rolling. They have betrayed some delicate situations In Tammany Assembly district politics, beside dragging the Hlll-Bryau squabble In state and national politics to tho front. In addition to these matters, all Tammany Is agog over the election of sachems for tho society, which will occur next Monday evening. Mr. Scannell is ono of the sachems and takes a deep Interest lu tho elections, because the sachems are the custodians of tho Tammany namo and property and can make and unmake wigwam rulers at will.

So, all Tammany and Wllloughby streot in fact, city Democrats of every affiliation-are very much interested in the news that Mr. Scaiiuell hns 'established temporary headquarters at the Bartholdl, In tho very rooms which were used as the private New York headquarters of William J. Bryan in the presidential campaign of 1SH6, ns well as of Robert A. Van Wye It in tho municipal campaign of 1S97. Seated in the lit lo front parlor of this suite, in the presence of several Tammany men, and conversing on the mayoralty situation, Mr.

Scannell said to a representative of tho Kngle: "I don't know whether It will he decided to nominate a Manhattan or a Brooklyn man for mayor on the Democratic ticket this fall. There are, It seems to mo, very good reasons for nominating a Manhattan man, but there Is a good deal or tnlk about going to Brooklyn tor the candidate. "If we do said Mr, Scannell, "I'm In favor of nominating James Shevlin. Why wouldn't Shevlin makn tho best man the organized Democracy of this city could select from Brooklyp?" Several of Mr. Scannell's guests said that they approved his suggestion.

There was a running conversation on the merits and if Edward M. Shepard, Bird S. Cole ami Edward M. Grout as candidates, In which Mr. Scannell took no part.

When ho resumed talking he said: "Shevlin is a fine man. a clean man, a very Intelligent man. He has been more or less in the public eye for a good many years. He hns a strong character and a good reputation. He is a man of Independent means, and has the best of business and social connections.

He would make a popular, dignified, unobjectionable candidate, and a safe, sound, practical mayor. "By nil means," added Mr. Scannell, "if the candidate comes from Brooklyn I would favor the nomination of Mr. Shevlin." On Mr. Scannell's side, for the adjustment of all ordinary propositions which come before Tammany Hull for settlement, are counted the following Tammany men: George K.

Scannell. illlam Dallun, Matthew K. Isaac A. Hopper, Daniel H. McMahon.

Senator Maurice Featherson, Senator Thomas F. Grady, Senator George W. Plunkett, Senator James T. Frawley, Senator Foley, Senator Dooliiig, Edward C. Sheeny.

John Fox, John Whalen, John Hnlloran, Nicholas J. Huyes, P. J. Scully, Ira J. Ryder, Daniel E.

Finn, John T. Oakle'y, Julius Harbinger. William Sohmer, William F. Grell and others loss prominent, but perhaps no less influential, In Tammany politics. At tho auction room there was very little talk about the mayoralty to-day.

All the big leaders McLaughlin, Shevlin and Mc-Carron and their respective adherents are waiting for Tammany Hall to mako up its mind on a candidate and then to take tho Irltlatlve. They hear that thero is serious discussion of Colonel McClellan. J. Sargent Crnm ami Hugh J. Grant, and a little talk of 'lie casual sort about Edward M.

Shepard, Itlrd S. Coler and Edward M. Grout. All tho surface indications prove, in the view of the Brooklyn men. that Tammany Intends to pick the mayoralty candidate from Manhattan.

All the Brooklyn Democrats would like to see Mr. Shevlin Mayor of New York. Those to whom Mr. Scannell's suggestion was submitted this afternoon were of the opinion, however, that Mr. Shevlin would emphatically prohibit the use of his nam4 In that connection if It should appear thai any serious movement was contemplated mako him the candidate.

ICE WATER FOUNTAINS. Woman's Municipal League Asking for Contributions. The Woman's Municipal League Is asking for contributions to the fund for the erection of ice water fountains in tho city during the summer. It was to meet these needs that the Woman's Municipal League besan last summer to erect fountains. One thousand five hundred and eighty dollars was raised and eight fountains placed in needy districts, and they were surrounded all summer by an eager crowd of people, often waiting in line with pitchers to draw for home use.

The water Is not, strictly speaking. Ice water, but kept at a palatable temperature by lee covering the pipes through which the water runs. The cost of a fountain is about. J175, and to supply It with ice during tho summer months costs about $75 more. BROOKLYNITES IN CAPITAL.

Sama Gang That Cut TJp Grocer Catania in Brooklyn Believed to Be the Murderers. Vito Laduca, who was supposed to have been the proprietor of the butcher shop at 1C Sianton street, Manhattan, where nine trrests were made last night in connection with the murder of the man found In a barrel at Eleventh street and Avenue Manhattan, last Tuesday morning, surrendered himself at police headquarters about 6 o'clock this morning and was held by the police as a Nikola Testro, 19 years old, who lives with Laduca, also went to police hendquarters and was detained by the police for the same purpose. Laduca was found by newspaper reporters to live at 15 Sianton street, directly oppo-iite the butcher shop. He said he had worked in the butcher shop up to two weeks ago and had left because the place hod been sold. While he was talking Testro walked In.

He said he was working at the present time In the butcher shop where the arrests were made, and the men when told that the police would probably like to question them agreed to go to police, headquarters. The two men, after their trip to police headquarters in company with reporters were requested by Sergeant Mannlon to remain until Detectives Petrosini could bo located to Interpret for them. They were at uo time under arrest. At the butcher store, 16 Stanton Btreet, this morning business was going on as usual. There were two clerks in the store.

One of them said the business was sold two weeks ago. He said he thought the proprietor's name, who sold the storo was Messina, but this was, found to be Incorrect, as It was found to be Zarcone. A coincidence, to which tho police placed little weight, was that the man who purchased the store was also named Zarcono, but no relative to tho former. The man who had owned the store was found to be living with his wifo across the street, at 15 Stanlon street. He said ho was no relative to the man to whom he had sold the store.

Ho said he has another place in Brooklyn. When shown a photograph of the dead man he said ho had never seen him before. All of the men in the neighborhood appeared to be without knowledge of the murder and all evinced the greatest surprise when told of It. At the place kept by Giuseppe Morello, at 226 Elizabeth street, tho police have locked the doors and placed heavy padlocks on them. Through the glass in the windows can be seen several large barrels that bear a resemblance to the barrel in which the murdered man was found.

The barrel on Eleventh street had two wooden hoops and a wire hoop at both top and bottom. The barrels In the store as if they had nothing but wire hoops. In the store was found a quantity or sawdust and burlap, and Detective Petrosini took some of it to police headquarters early this morning for examination and comparison with that, found in the barrel and about the murdered man's neck. About 9 o'clock Detective Sergeants Petrosini and Carey arrived at police headquarters with another prisoner whom they arrested In connection with the murder. Ho was Lalamia Gulseppi of SOS Mott street.

He was arrested at the corner of Prince and Elizabeth streets. When the time came for the prisoners to be taken from police headquarters to tho Jefferson Market court an immense crowd of men and boys had assembled in front of the entrances to police headquarters on the Mott and Mulberry street sides. The twelve prisoners were taken from police headquarters to the court in custody of as many detectives. A young man In the crowd of spectators, who was apparently an Italian, happened to get In the way of one of the detectives. The detective drew back his arm and hit the young fellow In the face, knocking him down.

The blow was a terrific one and several persons in the crowd cried out "shame" at the detective. Who the young man was could not bo learned, as he was Slurried away by friends. Three patrol wngons met tho detectives and their prisoners at Bleecker and Mul-burry streets. Just as the prisoners were being shoved into the wagons an old man in the crowd of lookers on shoved his way to the front and tried to strike at one of the prisoners with a clasp knife which he held In his right hand. "There he Is." he shouted, but before the old man could do any harm to any one he was pulled back by others in the crowd and hustled away.

To whom the old man had directed his thrcaV no one seemed to know. None of tho priEontrs appeared to recognize him, although all were very much frightened by the old man's actions. After the wagons had gone away and 1he crowd had been dispersed Inspector McClusky gave out a statement in which be said tho Magistrate in the Jefferson Market Court would he asked to remand the prisoners for forty hours. "The police and the Secret Service men," lie said, "want this amount of time in order to go over the evidence and sift through all the facts in the case. Three of the prisoners are suspected by us of being tho actual murderer.

We intind to get some of the Italians living In the neighborhood of 226 Elizabeth street to go to the Morgue to seo If they can Identity tho body there. Wo nave taken several barrels from tho basement und also a quantity of bogging similar to the barrel and bagging found when tho tody w-as discovered. "1 do not believe the murdered man lived in the neighborhood of 226 Elizabeth street. I believe he was a newcomer If ho did livo there. The finding of a collnr in tho basement had nothing to do with establishing the fact that the murder was committed in tho basement.

The story to the effect that the collar was like one found on the body Is not true. It has nothing whatever to do with the ease. When the prisoners arrived at Jefferson Market court their names, addresses and occupations were taken down by Mark Moub-taki. the court Interpreter. They were an follows: Giuseppe Lalome, years old; Lorenzo Loboldo, 42 years old, a merchant, and Vlto Loboldo, the lat.ter's brother, 28 years old.

a laborer, all of 308 Mott street: Vito Loduca, 33 years old, a butcher, of 13 Stanton street; Giuseppe Tomaso. 24 years old, a merchant, of Rlvlngton street; Nikola Testa, 18 years old. a butcher, of CO Mnln street, Brooklyn; Ignazo Lupo, 25 years old, of 433 West Forty-third street; Messina Genova, 38 years old, a merchant, of East Fifteenth street; Tomaso petto, 24 years old, a clothes presser. of 162 East Houston street; Dominion Pecorado, 53 years old, a merchant, of 189 Ghrystie street; Pietro Inserillo. 44 years old, a grocer, of 22G Elizabeth street; Giuseppe Morello, 34 years old, who gave his address as 9 Prince street, but who, the police say, lived at 226 Elizabeth street, Manhattan.

It was noticed that while the majority of the prisoners were under an ordinary guard the prisoners Tomaso Petto and Giuseppe Morello were constantly watched and Inclosed between Detective Sergeants McCaf-ferty, Jackson and Koy. These two prisoners put up a terrific fight when they were arrested last night, at l'or-' syth and Delancey streets, and had to be subdued. Petto is known in the Italian colony as "El Bove," or "The Bull," because of his powerful build and enormous strength. Morello Is, tho police say, an ex-convict and was released from the Alleghany County Jail, In Pittsburg. only three months ago.

Morello Is known among the Italians by the sobriquet of Jack." for the reason that two of the fingers on his right hand are missing. Ho is also a very strong man, of heavy build. The prisoners were all charged with "suspicion of homicide." They were all a.sked by the court interpreter if they would con-nt to be taken back to Police Headquar Well-to-Do Contractor Followed Brooklyn Woman From Man hattan to Her Home. FORCED HIS WAY INTO HOUSE. Mrs.

Jackson Locked Herself in a Boom and Finally Got a Policeman, Domlnlck Barncale, a well-to-do Italian contractor, who lives at 26 Thompson street, Manhattan, and who, It Is said. Is building a row of fine flats on Prospect Park, West, was a defendant to-day before Magistrate Steers In the Myrtle avenue court, as a result of a visit yesterday afternoon to the home of Mrs. Lucetto Jackson, a rather attractive looking young married woman, who lives with her husband, her 5 months old babe and her mother at 216 Fifth avenue. Barncale was charged with violation of section 675 of tho Penal Code, which covers a multitude of complaints and which may be interpreted as trespass, disorderly conduct or kindred offenses. The story as told by the police was that Barncale, first met Mrs.

Jackson a few clays ago as she was alighting from a car in Fourteenth Btreet, Manhattan. Ho followed her and In some way found out where she lived. Yesterday afternoon Barncale rang the bell at Mrs. Jackson's home and on tho door being opened by the young woman's mother he pushed by her and quickly Informed her that It was her daughter that he wished to see. Then he went into the apartments of the Javksons and took off his coat, sat down and proceeded to make himself at home.

According to the complaint made against him he forced his attentions upon the young woman, by attempting to catch hold of her and trying to persuade her to leave her husband. Mrs. Jackson, It Is said, became much alarmed and ran to another room and locked herself In. The contractor terrified her Btlll further, at least, so she told tho police, by threatening to run off with her 5 months' old baby, which lay asleep in a cradle in the front room. Then she rushed to tho window and cried loudly for help.

The next door neighbors heard her cries and turned in a telephone message for the police, which reached Patrolman Joseph Donovan of the Bergen street station, who went to the homo of Mrs. Jackson and arrested Barncale. The defendant, who is a good looking Italian, Is married. He was well dressed when he was arraigned in court to-day, and sported considerable Jewelry. He pleaded not guilty and was represented by counsel.

Magistrate Steers held him in $300 ball and adjourned the case until to-morrow. REPUBLICAN EDITORS MEET. President Peters Takes a Shy at Grover Cleveland and the Negro Question. Tho Republican Editorial Association of the State of New York Is holding Its annual convention to-day In Parlor D. R.

at the Fifth Avenuo Hotel, Manhattan, Opening the convention President Thomas P. Peter said: "When this convention adjourns, our association will have completed ten years of its existence. While It may be true that we shall get no legislative amendments such as we ask for, it Is equally true that we have lost no ground as the press has In the State of Pennsylvania, where a bill so stringent has been passed that its promoters are bound to defeat themselves because of their over-anxiety to injure' the Journalists. It has been made there a crime to publish any Item about a man without his consent. This Is In direct violation of the United States Constitution, which forbids Congress to pass any law abridging the liberty of speech or of the press.

Our forefathers, they who founded this republic, knew the value of a free press. They had suffered under tho tyranny that prevails when government Is conducted under blankets. "President Roosevelt asked Boker T. Washington to break bread with hlra and the old Bourbon South broke out In fierce denunciation of him. Roosevelt dared to appoint a negro woman to a small pos.t office in Mississippi, and the South growled again.

Roosevelt named for collector of the port of Charleston an intelligent nprrn rnmi and Senator Tillman raged like a bull. Ami now, last of all, the dead has been resurrected, the long since mummified has come to life, the poor old free trader Cleveland waddled out of Princeton on Tuesday and that night made a speech in this city in which he sympathized with the South. This was the first intelligent speech that Grover Cleveland has made in seven years. Yet now he speaks clearly and so that no man can mistake him; this man who was always noted for using language, as Tallevrand did, to conceal thought. And why this sudden opening If the gates of his eloquence? He sees another presidential possibility.

nx what, does he advocate? Education for the negro ie Ills panacea. Well, does Theodoro Roosevelt and the Republican party advocate anything else? No; he has dined Willi a negro, the superior of Cleveland in Intoiiont he has appointed only such to office as are I t-ieveianas equals." LOST JEWELRY SOLD. Hapld Transit Company's Exhibit Met With Short Shrift in a Bowery Auction Eooin. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company is obliged by law to sell at stated intervals such articles of property as are round In its cars and unclaimed by the owners. A sale of this character was advertised to be held I at 70-72 Bowery, Manhattan, yesterday, but I tho company decided before the bidding be- Kan to Bell only the Jewelry, amounting in value to about The man who tries to sell cheap Jewelry in the Bowery aeeketh a vain thing.

The axis I of the Bowery globe is the auction room I and the citizens of that famous thorough- fore spend all their time haggling or bld-; ding in. Consequently the time of the Brooklyn exhibit was short and the prices realized not such as to warrant the com-j pany In disposing of its surplus Btock of i diamonds In this way if the law were not such a stern task master. In all lilt lots were sola with an average of about twenty-five seconds to a lot.

HIS MAVERICK A $1,050 ONE. He Used a Civil Service Examination Hope and All Fusion Cowboys Watched the Feat. William Henry Hale, lawyer, philosopher and scientist, who gained considerable notoriety several years ago through proceedings he brought to have the late Police Justice "Paddy" Divver, who was then at the height of his power, removed from office, Is holding down a Job In the office of Borough President Swanstrom at $1,060 a year. Mr. Hale was appointed to the place last week.

Although he was appointed as a clerk, Mr. Halo's duties have not yet been very clearly defined. Few men In Brooklyn are better known than Mr. Hale, or rather, Dr. Hale, for he has a degree In philosophy, of which he is very proud.

Dr. Hale is a scientist of note, and has contributed many valuable papers on scientific matters to the different magazines. In addition, be Is a practicing lawyer. Dr. Hale has been after a Job under the fusion administration in Brooklyn since the municipal election of 1901.

He was one of the ardent supporters of the fusion ticket and made many speeches In the borough for the ticket during the campaign. His friends say that the understanding was that he would get a place If Mayor Low and Borough President Swanstrom were elected, but somehow or other Dr. Hale slipped up on his calculations and he was left out In the cold. When he found that he could not get one of the few places which Borough President Swanstrom had at his disposal, Dr. Hale turned his attention to civil service and took many examinations, in all of which he acquitted himself well so well, In fact, that he succeeded in getting at the head of several eligible lists.

Fate was always against him, however, and whenever he came within striking distance 6f a Job a veteran or somo one else always Btepped In and snatched it away from him. Dr. Hale and Public Works Commissioner Redfleld. although they are old friends, had a slight falling out because the latter did not appoint Dr. Hale superintendent of public baths in the Bureau of Public Buildings and Offices.

Dr. Hale was at the head of tho eligible list for this place, but at the last moment, after consultation with Borough President Swanstrom and Superintendent Helmle of the Bureau of Public Buildings and Offices, Public Works Commissioner Redfleld decided to promote one of the Inspectors of baths to the position of superintendent. When Dr. Hale heard what Commissioner Redfleld had done he wrote the latter a red-hot letter. In which he said that he never believed Mr.

Redfleld could bo guilty of such treachery. When Bo -ough President Swanstrom decided to have a supervisor of complaints Dr. Hale was one of the candidates for the Job. Mr. Swanstrom wanted to makn this a confidential position, but the Civil Service Commission wouldn't hear of It, and examined applicants for the Job.

Dr. Hnle was one of the applicants examined, and he got a high percentage high enough to have entitled him to the position were It not for tho fact that there was a veteran nhead of him. This was James A. Rooney, tho present Supervisor of Complaints. Dr.

Hale had the same unlucky experience when a vacancy occurred in the position of Superintendent of Incumbrances. Borough President Swanstrom wanted, also, to make this a confidential place, but the Civil Service Commission said "No," and when applicants were examined Dr. Hnle was one of those who passed. Another man. a veteran, got the top place on the eligible list, however, and then the borough authorities decided that they could get along without, a superintendent, of incumbrances, and the hopes both of Dr.

Hale and the veteran were dashed to the ground. Subsequently Dr. Halo got on the eligible list for the place of confidential inspector of grading and paving, created by this administration, but for some reason or other Borough President Swanstrom declined to make any appointment to this position. A few weeks ago Borotigh President Swanstrom decided to appoint another clerk In his ofneo, and when he sent for an eligible list to the Civil Service Commission he found that the first name on It was that of Dr. Hale.

He appointed the doctor. Dr. Hale has written many papers relating to municipal government. After the adoption of the amended Greater New York charter Dr. Hale was one of the first to suggest that certain representative citizens be elected from their respective districts to the Board of Aldermen, to show what a high type of citizenship could do In that body.

Dr. Hale suggested that James McKeen. the present Assistant Corporation Counsel, In charge of tho Law Department In this borough, go to the Board of Aldermen from the First Assembly District and Charles A. Moore from the Eleventh Assembly District. Incidentally.

Dr. Hale announced that he would be perfectly willing to represent his own district, the Third, in the Board of Aldermen. He was not nominated, however. Dr. Hale gained his greatest prominence In the proceedings he brought to have Justice Divver ousted.

Divver, at that time, was running things in his court to suit himself, and although he was strongly intrenched. Dr. Hnle undertook to have him removed. He preferred charges against him to the Mayor, and was In a fair way of proving them when tho case slipped up on some technicality and Justice Divver and his friends merely laughed at Dr. Hale for his pains.

Captain and Crew of Schooner Bella Russell Were Nearly Exhausted When Help Came. Captain J.

G. James and his crew of five men of the schooner Bella Russell arrived here to-day, having been picked up at sea on Tuesday, by the Norwegian steamer Bergen, after eight hours spent in an open boat, partly filled with water. Tho Bergen was riding out a gale on Tuesday, April 14, barely keeping headway, when at 8 o'clock In the evening a ship's boat was seen with men in her. After considerable difficulty the boat was brought alougside and the six men were hauled on board the Bergen. A ttrriflc eea was running at the time, the boat was nearly full of water and the men were wet, cold and nearly exhausted.

The shipwrecked crew was Captain James mid five men of the schooner Bella Russell, which was bound from Machias for Philadelphia with a cargo of lath. Tbe schooner, which had put into Gayhead for a harbor, started out to sea on Monday last. The wind came out from the east and freshened und shortly afterward it was found that the schooner was leaking. Tho pumps were manned and kept going, but tbe gale increased la violence, and the schooner under shortened sail labored violently and finally the best part of the deck load rolled oft, causing the vessel to careen over until her hatches blew off by the compression of air in tho hold. The crew in the meantime cast over more of the deck load of lath to right the schooner, but seeing the impossl-bilty of doing this the boat was cut adrift and the crew left the wreck without food or water.

The boat filled and all efforts to free her were unavailing. For eight hours the boat was tossed about, the seas coming over her continually, when the crew, wet, hungry and nearly perished by exposure, saw the Bergen come to their aid. The schooner was abandoned off Little Egg Harbor and drifted west. Captain James said he thought she would beach on the Jersey coast. When the crew was picked up It was eight miles off Absecom.

The rescued men were Captain J. G. James. Mate A. L.

Pillet for an order restraining the Greenwald Theatrical Company from performing at the Columbia Theater, In Washington street, an alleged unauthorized version of "Nathan Hale, or tho Martyr Spy of the Revolution," an original and patriotic drama, under that or any other name. The applicant claims $5,000 damages. She is the widow of Charles S. Pillet, who was the joint author, with Samuel A. MacKcevcr, of the play, and to whoso Interest she succeeded, holding the copyright Issued In 1871).

Lawyer Colin of Howe Hummel opposed the granting of the injunction. He Baid that ho represented Clyde Fitch, the author of the play now being presented at the Columbia Theater. Mr. Fitch was now in Italy, the counsel said, and was not within easy call and the papers had only reached his attorney this morning. For years Mr.

and Mrs. Nat C. Goodwin had played tho drama now at the Colombia, Lawyer Conn said, and It had been also played abroad. The name was the same as claimed by the plaintiff, but the courts had held, he claimed, that one had a right to use the name, as long as the play was not an Infringement. Lawyer Cohn presented the further objection, holding that the state courts had no jurisdiction, as tho plaintiff claimed a violation of the copyright law, which was a matter for the federal courts to look Into.

Justice Marean took this view, but he allowed the parties one week in which to submit briefs. THIS COP GETS SALARIES. Mulvey Now Receives $2,000 a Year as Detective Sergeant, and a Pension of $1,000. Detective Sergeant Thomas Mulvey received word to-day to the effect that Commissioner Greene had restored his name to the pension list. Mulvey now occupies the singular position of an actlvo member of the force and of a pensioner at tho same time.

Mulvey was originally on the Manhattan force, but retired on half pay. Then he moved to Bath Beach and through influence with Cornelius Ferguson became captain of the New Utrecht police force. On the consolidation of New Utrecht with Brooklyn Mulvey became a member of the Brooklyn force and when Brooklyn and the old City of New York consolidated Mulvey became again a member of the New York police.

Mulvey now gets $2,000 a 5'ear as a detective sergeant and $1,000 a year as a pensioned detective. He is Bald to be well to do. SPENT HIS WEEK'S WAGES.

Patrolman Klemm was approached by a little girl at Grand street and tho Bowery about 3 o'clock and she told him that some one had been shot in the hotel. The policeman started on a run for the place and on the way met Detectives Bfown and Devine, who accompanied him. When they reached the hotel they found the front door locked and they went to the side entrance of the hotel. In the hallway at the foot of the stairs leading to the upper part of the hotel they stumbled over a man lying on the floor whom they supposed was drunk. Tho policemen paid no attention to the man, but entered a door leading from the hallway to a back room of the saloon part of tho hotel.

Then they walked into the barroom, and, they say, saw Carter standing bo-hind the bar with a revolver in his hand. The detectives say that Carter readily confessed he bad shot a man and told them that he was lying In the hallway. The police say that the bartender told them he had shot the driver because the latter was trying to rob a man in the place, and when Interfered with had tried to draw a pistol. The police claim that the bartender's story is not true, as no revolver was found in the clothes of the dead titan, and tho fact that he was shot In the back of the head leads the police to think that he was trying to run away when he was killed.

An ambulance was called, but the man bad died Instantly. The policemen had the body tnken to the station house and cards were found In the pockets showing that the body was that of Paddock.
