HE KILLED TWO To Secure a Legacy of Four Hundred Dollars. An Old Man and a Child Mnrdered by a Bavarian Emigrant EscApe.l From a Kailway Train. Minneapolis, January 22. The prisoner who eluded his custodian and jumped from a swiftly moving train at Corfu, N. yesterday, escaping into the woods, is Michael Schicber, ii self confessed murderer, who was arrested iu Minneapolis under peculiar circumstances, December 7 last.

Schiebcr was a resident of Bavaria, andlast October married a widow with a boh 10 years old. In the event of the death of this boy an inheritance of 1,000 marks, or about $400, would fall to Mrs. Schiebcr. In order to gain this paltry sum Schiebcr pushed the boy into the creek and drowned him. Tho child's grandfather, an aged man named Wil helm Sturm, taxed Sehieber with the crime, and the latter, actuated by fear of detection, went to the Town of Hoag, two miles distant, where Sturm lived, aud shooting through the window killed tho old man as he was washing his face.

With his expiring breath Sturm gasped the nanio of his assassin. Sehieber fled to Bohemia, wh ere he purchased a passport from a man named Mathias Kuttlc, under which name ho emigrated to America, and then resumed his own. Coming to Minneapolis Sehieber wont to work for a farmer named Marks, at Ediua Mills. Marks read an account of tho tragedy in a Milwaukee German paper, and tho simdarity of names of the murderer and his new hired man Btruek him as peculiar. Sehieber admitted his identity and finally confess! that he killed his Btep son and old man Sturm.

He waived extradition proceedings, aud, acting under ordors from the State Department at Washington, Deputy Marshal Hoy was taking Schiebor to New York where he was to have been turned over to the Gorman Consul General and be scut to Germany for punishment Batavia, N. January 22. The particulars of the escape of Schiebcr from a New York Central train yesterday arc as fol lows: About a mile wost of Corfu, the officer carelessly removed the prisoner's handcuffs and shackloi before starting with him for the dining ear for breakfast, and allowed him to walk some distance in advance, not supposing he would attempt to leap from the train which was traveling about fifty miles an hour. When tho prisoner reached the car platform however he dashed down tho steps and jumped. He landed squarely on his feet, waved his hand to the officer and dashed for the woods.

When tho traiu was stopped, the officer organized a posso of twenty citizens and set out in search of the fugitive, but up to the present timo ho has not been recaptured Schneber is 22 years of age and unable to spcali word of English. Rociiesteii, N. January 22. The German murderer, Michael Sehieber, who cscapctl from a Minneapolis detective from a Central train at Corfu yesterday, was captured a few miles from the place where he jumped last evening. He was not injured and had in his pos.

session a revolver of German make. He was at a farmhouse warming himself by the kitchen fire. MONEY MARKET. Wall stiiket, January 22.1 With the exception of a short period of activity during tUa morning session of the Stock Ex change, tn speculation was as dull to day as on any previous day for some time. The oporatious of tho London arbitrage deal ers were insignificant, being liinitejl to small sales of Louisville and Nashville and St Paul.

The market as to prices was strong at tho opening at fractional advances from yesterday's finals. Subsequently there was a slight recession in values, which, however, was recovered eluring the afternoon. The theory advanced that the bear combination had retired and were now cnlssted on the side of tho bulls, was generally accepted and accounted for the continued strength of the movement. The anthracite coalers received moro attention than usual and were exceptionally strong features. Missouri Pacific was less prominent as a leader, but was firm in tone and well supported.

There was but little doing in the grangers. Chicago and Northwestern, upon the increased earnings for December, was in better demand. Tho Vanderbilts were firm on a limited business. Among the specialties was an animated movement in Mobile and Ohio and Colorado coaL The reason assigned lor the advance iu the foimer stock wus tho report that the interest on tho bonds which has been paid in script will hereafter be paid in cash. In the unlisted department sugar refineries were active and higher.

Other trust stocks Quiet and steady. Bonds active and generally firm. Money on call abundant at The last half hour tloveloped increased activity, and a uniform advance in prices on largo purchases, which were said to be for the account of the recent bear combination. Stocks were strong in the lato trado and at the close.

Mr.

Na. titan's friends aro therefore jubilant and ready on tho noxt political opportunity to invest the Internal Revenue Collector with the insignia leadership. Franklin Woodruff also has returned to tho old familiar Falstaftian manner of smiling and chuckliugly tells everyone ho moots wha grand work ho has accomplisheel in purifyin politics. Ex Senator Daggett alone seems to be convinced that tho statement will be forthcoming, although a little bohintl timo. For the benefit of tho anxious aud inquiring reporters to whom he has been invisible for two days past, he left with Mr.

Callaghan this statement: "Sa that I am hard at work at the statement and i will be given out at the proper time. I am very busy, howovor, and havo otLer business to attend to in addition to that of getting up tho state ment." The Woodruff people will hold a conference at 84 Court Btreet and arrange the sub com mittees of tho General Committeo for the year. This has been tho custom of tho dominant faction for years. The Committeo on Legislation will romain uraeticiillv un changed, as all of its members are Woodruff men. The mombors of tho Committee on Rules and Order will have to go, as they were all Bald win men.

But little importance is attached to tho Committeo on City anil Countv Affairs, a sin gle meeting of which was not held last year. The Committee on Legislation is tho ono most anx iously sought for, as the expenses of tho members to and from Albany during sessions of tho legislature are paid Dy too General committee, Last year these exDenses amounted to nearly $1,000.

Loivis in this branch of political work during the coming year IT IS TOO SMALL The Postal Part of the Federa Building. Postmaster Hendrix Asks for an Enlarge ment or an Outside Carrier Station His Suggestions. Postmaster Joseph C. Hendrix has formally notified Superintendent William C. Booth, of tho Brooklyn Feiloral Building, that during the long delay in completing that structure the business of tho Post Office has quite outgrown the space assigned to it in its original design and that it is advisable to take immediate steps toward enlarging the quarters now constructing.

Mr. Hendrix said this morning: "I foresaw this difficulty three years ago and endeavored to secure a change of the plans so as to carry the general working room of tlje post office floor of the new building back to Adams street, not only to got tho additional space but also the improved light, but the then supervising architect contended that the construction of tho upper stories of the building required the partition walls which he had introduced into the first floor and which made a hall and a Berics of offices and a stairway on the Adams street side. This arrangement is not only inconvenient, but is not nearly so desirable as a clear, open working space. The service has not only grown with great rapidity in a few years, but its closer or ganization has added new fixtures, such as mailing cases and pouching racks, opening tables, carriers' tables, desks and newspaper cases, aud it has been with constant study of economy of space and fixtures that we have befen able to keep np with the work imposed upon us. It is not pleasant to contemplate a permanent home which is already too sni'ill.

The remedy suggested is an extension of the first floor over tho space on tho north side of tho building now owned by tho Government so as to provide room for the mail ing division aud a drive way for the mail wagons leading into the basement for tho delivery and receipt of mails. Tho alternative to this is tho establishment of a large carrier station in the General Post Office district as a relief of the new building. This would add as much expense probably as tho Government is now under for the rent of buildings in Washington street, and in asmuch as the appropriation for tho new build ing is sufficient to mako the extension, it would seem more advisable to build the addition and save the cost of extra sn pervision in tho conduct of the service Much that might have been done in the refine ment of our local service has been prevented by the lack iu present facilities. We have not only worked under the greatest strain imposed by the insufficiency of our force, but we have been handicapped by lack of space to conveniently dispose of tho force wo havo had. Most of the work has to be dono by artificial light and in close quarters.

The men have faced bad con ditions cheerfully, buoyed by tho hopo of commodious accommodation when the new structure was ready. We have impatiently waited for tho new building in the expectation that, having a superior tool with which to work, we might bo able to give tho public further satisfaction in certain details of the service. As the plans which wo objected to on paper tako shapo wo see that this difficulty as to floor spaco haB grown moro Berious than ever, especially in view of the addition to the forco of carriers by tho Eight Hour law and the expansion of the service incident to tho extraordinary growth of the city. I urged somo time ago tho early completion of the first Moor of tho new building to givo tho matter of space a practical tost beforo asking for a change of the plans. Tho delay, however, has removed all doubt, and, after a careful survey of the requirements of tho service as it exists today, I have no hesitation in saying that preparations Bhotild bo beguu at onco to provide for the service aB it will bo by tho timo tho building is finished.

In spito of all that is likely to bo tlono the first floor of tho building will within five yeas be inadequate for postal needs and a portion of the upper floors will haue to bo used."

Wallace's Excuse for Deserting His Home. He Says His Wife is Mentally Unbalanced. Witnesses in the Supreme Court Testify to Her Moral Worth. There is pending in the Supremo Court an action which sheds additional light on the ease of Mrs. Lottie Strait against Mrs.

Carrie E. Wallace, which was before Police Justice Kenna yesterday. Mrs. Wallace is suing her husband, James E. Wallace, a grain merchant, of 18 Beaver streot, New York, for a limited divorce and yestorday Judge Bartlett granted the plaintiff in the action $12 a week alimony and $50 counsel foe.

Mrs. Wallace lives at ti Kosciusko street, and she says that Mrs. Strait, who is a widow and waB once an actress, and lives at jti'i Kosciusko street, has robbed her of her husband's affections. Mrs. Strait's accusation in tho police court was that Mrs.

Wallace entered her house and called her names. On tho motion for alimony and counsel fee in the Supreme Court Mr. Wallace, in his own defense, presented an affidavit hinting that his wife was mentally unbalanced and alleging that she had assaulted him and driven him from his home. Asa reply to that affidavit Mrs. Wallace deposed that she had never, as her husband had charged, threatened to poison herself or her children, and positively denied that she had last November flown into a passion and driven her husband from the house.

She also denied her husband's allegation that she had, on November 10, choked him and thrown him down, and alleged that since August last her husband had slept in his own home only seven times; that she and her children were in want of foo I and clothing and that, although one of the children was suffering from inflammation of the lungs, bIic had no money to pay a doctor. A charge ly nei husband that she had received male visitors was firmly denied by her, and coupled with the denial was the allegation that for the past six mouths her husband had made Mrs. Strait's house, on the next block, his home. In her deposition Mrs. Wallace swears that on December 14 and December 20 she saw her husband leave Mrs.

Strait's house, and she is informed, she says, that ho lives there and that frequently ho has taken Mrs. Strait to Coney Island and to concerts. Once Mrs. Wallace paid an early morning visit to Mrs. Strait's house.

She says in her deposition that when her husband left her he forgot to take away certain keys and that she found them. Hlie had her own suspicions about those keys and on December 7, about A. she took them to the Widow Strait's front door and there tried them. One of them, she swears, opened the front door and she walked in and went upstairs. Another, she deel.ires, fitted the doors leafling to Mrs.

Strait's apartments, and in went the now doubly determined wife. As she went in, she alleges, she heard her husband's voice saying, "Lottie, I want to get away early this morning." If, after that, there was a scene, Mrs. Wallace has failed to make mention of it in her deposition. She adds that her husband is a member of the firm of Carr Wallace, grain merchants, and, as such, makes $100 a week. Other depositions in the case are those of Mrs.

Sophie Wigaud, of 030 Kosciusko street; Mrs, Maggie Nearlield, of 4:27 Hart street, and Maud Cole, of 1 1 Kossuth place. These ladies declare that Mrs. Wallace's character is good and lhat she is a loving wife and mother. Hose Jaecklo deposes that she saw Mrs. Wallace sitting on her husband's lap and heard her plead with him to remain at home and try to live a proper life, so tint they might bo happy together.

The husband, however, the deponent says, pushed his wife away. Other depositions in favor of Mrs. Wallace as a woman of good reputation and soundness of mind are mule by Lucy Jackson, E. S. HaUdeu, of 22 Kossuth place, and George Congreve, a brother of the plaintiff.

The last named deponent siys he delies Mr. Wallace to produce a single witness to swear that hU wifo had been unfaithful to him. The defendant says he is not a partner in the firm named, but. is merely a clerk on salary. He acknowledges that he is living in Mrs.

Strait's house, explaining that having been turned away from his own home he wont there aB a boarder. Mrs. Strait in an affidavit says that Mr. Wallace was her dead husband's dear friend. Mrs.

Strait's two children aro aged 14 and 1G years. For tho plaintiff, W. J. Courtney; for tho defendant, Robert E. Connolly.

PETITlONIXti THE MAYOR. Eustcrii UiNtricl Men Want (ircciipoiut Avenue I'aveil. Mayor Chapin as to day waited npon by a committee of citizens, property owners and busi of the Eastern District, mainly of tho Seventeenth Ward, who urged upon him the importance of paving Greeupoiut avenue, between Oakland street and tho bridge at Newtown Creek, with granite blocks. There were upward of a dozen gentlemen in tiie visiting committee, among them being Justice Moses Engle. John C.

Orr, 15. Bly, William A. Bunker, Andrew E.Walker, Christopher Cunningham, Edward A. Walker, T. Lewis, Alderman Mctirath, E.

Voble, J. P. Sloan, J. Cashnun, Owen McCarren, George W. Palmer, Charles A.

Miller and Thomas C. Smith, president of the Seventeenth Ward Bank. There was not much talking. Mr. Smith described the.

wretched condition of the avenue, which was one of tiie most important streets in that section of the city. The avenue was much used and a granite pavement was absolutely necessary. Incidentally, Mr. Smith spoke of tho absence of dock accommodations as a great drawback for business men. Chapin informed the committee that that part of Greenpoint avenue referred to was in the City Works Commissioner's list of streots to be paved in 1 Hf)0; also, Oakland street, from Greenpoint avenue to the creek.

Final action on the list, however, would not be taken until next month. His Honor expressed his satisfaction at the evident prosperity of the business men of tho Seventeenth Ward, although they did not havo all they should have. Nothing could stop the development of that section. There was but II, 000, 000 to be spent on streot repaying this year, while to do the work suggested in tho list would bo required. The most important streets of the city must be finishod up first.

His Honor assured the Seventeenth Warders that Greenpoint avenue would be repaved this year between the named. As to the increase of ick facilities, the Mayor said ho thought they would have to go to Albany for such things, but he would look into the matter. Pussibly it might be one of the slumbering prerogatives or the Aldermen, which those officials did not often exercise. THE CHARITIES CO.lI.tHS.SIOXERS. Several nor Disposed ol at Their Semi Weekly No business of importance came before the Charities Commissioners this morning.

Tho salary of the head matron of the Penitentiary was increased $5, and that of the second assistant matron reduced by the samo amount. This latter posiliou is vacant. Thomas Hughes, the head apothecary of the oounty farm, was authorized to have his commission as notary renewed at the expense of the Board. A nurse of the insane a. ylum, who had outstayed her leave, was discharged, and the resignation of another was accepted.

The hill of the Edison Manufacturing Company for work on an electric plant on tho County Farm was referred for consideration aB to whether it waB or was not a matter for tho Supervisors to attend to. A letter was received from Mary Qimin, asking a pass to go and see her brother John, who is dying in the St. John land Asylum. Khe was too poor, the letter said, to pay her fare. The commissioners held that to give any such pass oflicially would be to establish a dangerous precedent and, on motion of Mr.

Nolan, they subscribed the amount privately. BRICKLAYER BURNS' SUIT. Testimony in Hcbnir of the Union Taken. The trial of tho suit of John Burns against the Brooklyn Bricklayers' Benevolent and Protective Union was continued to day beforo Judgo Osborne in Special Term of tho City Court. Michael J.

When asked if ho had anything to say ho romained obstinately dumb and tho magistrate remanded him to Raymond 'Street Jail to await tho action of the Grand Jury. A largo number of people had assembled to witness tho proceedings and among them the idea seemed to prevail that an insano asylum would be tho proper placo for Vonderliotte.

Eugene Hornbiicher Victorious in a. Prize Fisrht. Kathor a spirited fight to a finish took placo last night, at a sporting resort on Long Inland between Eugene Hoynbacher, of Now York City, and Eddy Daly, of Providence.

Tho former was seconded by Eddy Baker and Professor DoBvemo and tho latter by Bob Smith and Jimmy Lynch. Henry Hnshmeyer was timekeep er for Hornbachor aud William E. Harding for Daly, whilo Jack Adler actod as ref ereo. Tho men woro so evenly matched that it required thirty rounds to Bottle the ques tion of sunroinaev. In tho early part of the fight Kornbacher did all tho leading, but toward tho latter part the work of both men was of a doeul edly brisk nature.

Hornbachor was allowed first blood in Mio second round, when ho tapped Daly's noBC. It was not until the fifth round that the fighters got down to hard hittiug. By the close of tho eighth round Hornbachor was bleeding frooly from a gash under tho right eye, whilo his left eve was badly nnffod aud swollen Daly tried rushing tactics in tho twelfth round and forced Hornbachor to thd'ropes several times but the plucky little German recovered on oauh occasion in good form. Daly forced tho fighting in the fifteenth round and did somo clever left handod leading. In fact, ho was rogardod aB a winner uu to tho twentv ninth round, whon Horn bacher braced up and fought with renowed vigor.

It was decidedly the most spirited round of tho mill and proved tho turning point for Hornbachcr, who renewed his attack in the thirtieth round with so much energy that ho tmecnnoVil in knocking out his opponent before the round was half over. It looked as though Hornbachor had tripped and thrown Daly, aud a foul was claimed by the latter's Beconds, but it was not allowed. The fight was finished at 3 :40 A. M. Daly weighed 118 pounds and Horn bacher was about a half pound heavier.

IT WAS A CLOSE CALL. Quick Work fty the Bridge Tender Saved the Train. The passengers on tho 10 o'clock traiu from Long Island City yesterday morning over tho main line of tho Long Island Railroad only know o'f the narrow escape they had from eleath by the charge made bv Superintendent Barton before Judge Kavanagh in the Long Island City police court this morning. When the train left Long Island City it was matlo up of a locomotive and two passenger coaches. Tho engino was iu charge of Engineer Thomas Redwood with his Charles Wilson.

The coaches wero filled with passengers bound for Oyster Bay. As the train approached the Blissville bridge it was running fully twenty miles an hour. The bridge was open and a tug had jtiBt passed through. Tho bridge tenders woro just closing the bridge as the train thundered up. The red flag was raised showing the engineer that tho bridge was open.

It needed but a glance to convince tho bridgo tenders that tho danger signals woro not being heeded. The train was dashing down and was destined, with its load of human freight, to be plunged into the creek. The only thing that could bo dono was done quickly. With a will the mon sprang at tho cranks and hurriedly turned tho bridge into position; they were Buccessf ul, and just as the frog fell the train dashed over the bridge and the lives of all on board were saved. A second later would have resulted disastrously.

Superintendent Barton told the story in court this morning and had warrants issuod for the arrest of tho engineer and fireman, charging them with misdemeanor. They will not only bo dismiBBed by the company, but punished. Tho signals of tho bridgo wore set at display, but it is said tho engineer was down by the firo and not at his lever HIS PARTNER DIED.

jl Murder and Mystery in West Thirty second Street. One of Josie Driscoll's Lovers Dead and His Rival Under Arrest for Killing Him. Tragedy in New York low Life. Murder was done in West Thirty second street, Now York, last night, how or by whom is for tho police yet to prove. Ono man is dead, another in a coll charged with killing him.

But ho swears ho did not and that tho young man ho is accused of slaying must have killed himself. The ono who is dead was Frank Martin, a young man scarcely yet 24, who peddled flowers for a living about tho theaters and shady boarding houses in tho Nineteenth Precinct. No ono knows oxactly whero he lived if indeed ho lived anywhere. The house whero ho mot his death, 139 West Thirty second street, ono of tho boareling honses of that peculiar region, was tho placo where he was found most frequently when, in the Hmall hours of the morning, his business began to lug. Virgio Yernell keeps tho house.

One of her boarders, a young girl who calls herself Josio Driscoll, was ono of the chief attractions that kept him about tho house. Frank, the flower boy, was in love with JoBie. Josic had another lover, a Jewish peddler named Joseph Romaine, better known in the neighborhood as Sheeny Joe. Joe was ahead in tho race for her affections. He is tho one who is now in Jail on suspicion of having dono tho murder.

The story of it is brief. It appears that Itomaino and the girl had been out together last night. Thoy got back about 2 o'clock in tho inorniug, and were in tho back parlor of the house alone when young Martin looked in. Ho scowled at his rival and tried to get Josie to givo him "tho shake'' and come away with him. She would not.

Hot words passed between them, and the girl and her favorod lover went out, so thoy Bay, to get rid of Martin. Ho was in a passion, and pulling a kuifo threatened to kill himself, making motions about his throat with it. The girl laughed and ran, never thinking he would do himself harm. Thus far their story. Two hours later, at 4 A.

Edith Thompson, another of the girl boarders in the house, going into tho back parlor, found Martin lying senseless on tho floor. "Sho roused the house, thinking he had a lit. Among those who came, down was Charles Wilson, a foreman in the New York Cab Company's stables, who had come in on business. Itomaino came, too. Both of them went out in search of a policeman.

Only Wilson camo back, no brought along Officer Robert Brown from his beat in the next block. They found the women kneeling about the prostrate man and Josie Driscoil wiping blood from his naked breast with her handkerchief. One of them hail torn open his shirt and brought to light two knife wounds just under the heart. One was a mere scratch; tho other went right through. The policeman took in tho situation at a glance and summoned help.

Sergeant Sheldon sent Detective Hayes and Officer Kemp. An ambulance came from the Now York Hospital. The surgeon tried to rouse the wounded man with hypodermic injections of brandy. He did recover, but not enough to speak. Just as the ambulance in which he waB carried to the Ne.v York Hospital entered the hospital gate ho died.

The police arrested Josie Dnscoll. the man Wilson, Virgio Verticil, the landlady, and Edith Thompson and Laura Leslie, two more of the boarders, as witnesses, and then looked about for Romaine. He was found toward morning in bed in the next house, No. 141, in a room with the female tenant of which he was acquainted. He and the Driscoll girl told the same story, but the police do not believe it.

They think there was a quarrel and light, in which was stabbed by the peddler. Romaine gave his home address as at East Broadway. In the parlor where Martin was killed tho de tectivo picked up an ivory handled penknife, partly broken. The big blade was half open, but there was no blond on it. Tho knife was young Martin's.

What role it played in the dark drama that ended in his death, the detectives are now straining every nerve to find out. THE LOXG ISLAND CITY SCHOOLS. mayor GlcaMOii'K Invcstiffatioa Blocked for the Present. For two days the Special Committeo of the Long Island City Board of Education has been investigating the charges preferred by Mayor Gleason agaiust Principal H. N.

Burdick, of the First Ward school. They met last evening to continue the investigation, but it was brought to a sudden end by an order from the Supreme Court. Justice Cullen issued the ordor yesterday afternoon, requiring tho members of tho committee to show causo why counsel for the accused should not bo allowed to appear and cross examine witnesses. This Mayor Gleason has refused to allow from the first, and the affidavit on which the order was obtained claimed that the Mayor waB bulldozing tho witnesses. The order is returnable next Friday.

When Mayor Gleason read tho order he gave vent to his indignation in pretty strong terms and accused ox District Attorney Downing of resorting to unfair methods. Before adjourning the mayoi ordered tho committee to call a committee of tho Board of Education before which body he will make special charges against Principal Burdick and Superintendent of City Schools Pardee. Tho investigation has been the subject of considerable comment in tlio city and has caused a division among the scholars in the school over which Principal Burdick presided. Tho majority, however, are not favorable to him. Should he bo found guilty as charged it will not only result in his dismissal but will bring into an equally bad plight Su per intendent Pardee, who it is claimed acted with Principal Burdick.

The mayor has, as yet. appointed no successor to School Commissioner Fiesel, who, on account of tho charge, resigned. Monday night during the investigation, Mayor Gleason ejected Thomas W. Weeks from the room. Weeks is a reporter on the Ldu Island City Slai an anti Administration paper.

He has said he will prefer charges against the mayor for assault. THE WILSON'S IN COURT. ESiiabaiKl and Wife Accused Larceny by 3lru. Sprintrcr. The ease of Annie M.

Elizabeth Chapin, of 27 Tillary street, identified tho towels and napkins which Mrs. Springer had produced in court as the ones Mrs. Springer had found in Wilson's rooms. They were found two or three days after tho Wilsons had left Mrs. Cliapin's house, together with a jjpoon and fork which Mrs.

Springer had sworn were her property. Mrs. Chapin said that she had no hard feeling against tho Wilsons but acknowledged that they owed her money for rent. She said that Mrs. Wilson onco told hor that her husband had made her swear falsoly several times.

UEOKGE F1UNKS DEAD. George Francos, who fell into tho hold of tho steamship St. Ronauri, at Kelsey's stores, on Monday, died at the Long Island College Hospital to Many Ocean Steamship 3 Nov? Overdue. The Loss of the Erin Seems Certain Anxiety About the Luiiu'iUo Hill Hijrli Winds Illoiviii r. The wind has been blowing almost a gale elown tho harbor to day and up to noon hour none of tho few ships that have arrived in port ventured to come up to Brooklyn piers aud, even if they had, it would have been difficult to run alougsido without tho risk of doing serious damage to the vessels, as the sea we.s very high and kept the ships already moored constantly chafing and rol ling heavily against the piers.

At Block Island the wind is reported blowing at tho rate of forty miles an hour, and word has been received from Sandy Hook that tho wind is blowing a perfect Signals are out at the Signal Station office for high northwesterly winds. But very few of the steamships which have left the other side of the Atlantic since January 1 have arrived in port yet, and these report terrific gales and enormous seas during their entire passage. of the ships that have already arrived have received not a little damage on their way across. Among tho steamers overdue is the Hill Lino steamship Ludgatc Hill, which sailed from Lonelon December 30, and usually makes tho passage iu loss than eighteen days. Nothing has been heard from the steamship, and it is feared that she has gone down.

Iho steamship State of Pennsylvania, which left Glasgow January is anxiously looked for at tho State Line docks, but she is a staunch boat and the agents giv. it as their opinion that she will null through all right, unless she should come into collision with some other ship. A great deal of anxioty is felt at tho office of tho National Lino as to tho safety of their steamship Erin, one of the oldest boats of tho fleet, but a staunch one, nevertheless. These fears are augmented greatly by the report of tho steamship Catalonia, which passed a lot of wreckage at sea, which, although not positively identified as such, looked much as though it belonged to the Erin. It has beon stated that the Erin had a great deal of cotton aboard, but such is not the case.

She carriod a general cargo aud had cattle on her decks uud cotton below decks. Sho was commanded by Captain Tjsou aud had a crow of sixty five men. There were aboard her about fifteen men who took caro of tho cattle. She is twenty five days out to day; her average passage at this time of the year is said by the people at the lino's office to be eighteen or twenty days. At Hie company's office on State street no fears for the safety of the vessel arc entertained.

Mr. Hoist, the agent, says he thinks tho vessel has become disabled and is thus late in reaching port. A disabled vessel in the tempestuous weather reported from the seas would have but a sniill chance of battling her way to port. Just before noon hour to day a cablegram was received that a bout bolonging to the Erin had been picked up at sea on January 0, which almost confirms the report that the steamship is lost. The Cunard steamship Servia pxssed Fire Island at 8:30 this morning, and is expected at her dock in Now York this afternoon.

There are now due at the port of Now York nearly thirty large steamships and vessels, and Bomo of them are many ilays overdue. The list embraces the following Auchoria, Moville, January 10; Assyria, Gibraltar, Januarys; Bayonue, Liverpool, January B.

MAMIE SCHMIDT'S TREATMENT. Mead Says It Was ot a Din. tinguitihud Success.

Dr. Tho family of reter Schmidt, of East Now York, has again been brought to the attention of the police of the Seventeenth Precinct. Readers of I tho Eagle will remember tho details of his troubles exploited about two weeks ago. Schmidt was unable to obtain work or raise sufficient money to bury his dead child. It was stated then that his little girl, Mamie, aged 8 years, was ill with a broken leg.

Word was brought to the police that the child was not receiving proper medical treatment, and yesterday afternoon Dr. Mead, house surgeon of St. Mary's Hospital, accompanied by Detective Kortright, made an examination of the girl's leg. They fouud the girl in bod with a string tied to her foot, with a heavy smoothing iron attached and suspended over the foot of tho bed. The leg was swathed in two or three thicknesses of sticking plaster from the kneo to tho ankle.

Dr. Mead immediately re moved the weight, and taking his lance mado a clean cnt through the plaster the entire length of the shin bono in front. The child had lain Bick for four weeks, during which time Bho had broken her log several times by attempting to walk before it was firmly knit. Dr. J.

A. Winter, living on avenue, has boen attending the child, and the parents stated ho proposed to break the log again next week because it had not knit firmly. Dr. Mead was very indignant and de nounced the job in unmeasured terms. He was desirous of having the child removed to the hospital, as otherwise she could not receive proper attention.

Tho parents objected to having the child removed from their caro and tho doctor has notified the Society for tho Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Dr. Mead says without careful nursing tho child will in all probability 1030 its leg and very likely its life. A FATAL STROKE OF APOPLEXY.

For Getting $50,000 From His Partners. Mr. Do Cordova's Firm Sent Into a Re ceiver's Hands by His Summary Depart are With tho Funds Ho Has Been Found. G. Do Cordova Bhipping and commission merchants, of 2 and 4 Stono streot, Now York, havo been placed iu the hands of Froling II.

Smith, of 15 Broadway, as receiver, owing to a peculiar scheme attempted by ono of tho part ners. Tho firm was composed of Gonzalvo Do Corelova, a prominont Brooklynite, and Winches tor B. Smith as general partner and Frederic Beronbroick as special. On Friday, January 10, Mr. Smith, who was cashior of tho firm, suddenly decamped, and whon an examination of his accounts was made, it was discovered that ho had not gone empty handed.

Tho firm had some hoavy payments to make upon tho following Monday, and the loss was one which could not be mado good in so short a time. The mattor was kept as quiet as possible, and the other part ners at once went to Smith's house where he was found. Being confronted with tho facts ho stated that ho wished to withdraw from the firm, and intimated that lie might bo bought out for $50,000, taking caro not to positively elemand that amount as ho would thon bo liable to a charge of blackmail, as the value of this sharo in tho company was far below that figure. The granting of Biich an amount being eutiroly out of the question the other partners offered to buy out Mr. Smith according to his share as shown upon the accounts of the firm did ho but return the monoy in his possession.

This was finally agreed to by Smith and the day was set for tho transaction. When the appointed time arrived the gentlemen who called at his residence were informed that he was away from homo, and that no word had beon left as to his whereabouts. Repeated calls were made, but always with the same result, until Mr. DeG'onlova deemed it advisable to place tho affairs of the firm in tho hands of a receiver, which would present any further trouble from Mr. Smith and would also give him power to summon him to ai accounting.

Tho writ was consequently secured and placed in the hands of somo of Pinkerton's men who had been put on tho case and late yesterday aftornoon was served upon him in New York, where he had boon in hiding. Mr. De Cordova, when Been at his office this morning, had just held a consultation with Froling H. Smith, tho receiver, and Mr. Beren broiek, speaking of tho matter, said: "Our firm has nover been iu such a sound financial condition and everything will bo paid up and tho business continued, I havo received a number of very kind letters of sympathy and encouragement from many of our business associates, which gives us renewed hope for tho future.

Our placing ourselves in the hands of a receiver was the only way possible out of the difficulty, as Smith was stiil a partner and could do us any amount of harm he wished." Mr. Berenbroick then stited that as far as discovered Mr. Smith had drawn $9,5.20 from tho bank, filling out the stub upon the check book with the item of $50 petty cash, and had also taken from the cash drawer $1,800 iu money and some certificates of stock of the Jamaica Insurance Company, beside a paid up Equitable life insurance policy of $2,000 wdiich had been held by the firm as collateral security. "We went to Mr. Smith," he said, "with a gentleman who guaranteed to buy him out at the full value of his share as shown by our books if he would return the money taken.

We explained to him that his holding out would in no way better his prospects as the demands he made were exorbitant. Ho knew that should the firm be placed in the hands of a receiver that it would vastly injure our credit, paiticularly abroad, and after we had made it clear to him that it would also ruin his own prospects, he finally consented to our argument. After ho had dodged us for a number of days and finally was served with the papers, he thon wished to accede to our proposition, but it was too late as our situation had been made known. Wo shall go ti work at once aud havo our accounts straightened out. We havo no fear of the result for our business has never been in such a prosperous condition and our creditors fully understand why tin step was necessary." Mr.

Smith is well connected hero in Brooklyn his parents living on Pacific otreet, near Nostrand avenue. His wife was a Miss Annio Kctcham, of Scherincrhorn street. THE DEATH RATI DROPPING.

and diphtheria, 18. There were 210 deaths in tenement houses and 38 in public institutions. The birth returns were 270, and marriages 100. While this showing is not what it should be, there may be some encouragement in knowing that we are better off than some other cities. In New York the death rate was 38 nor i ,000 and in Boston 42.

For the week ending January 11 the Brooklyn rate was 3S. 10, tho New York rate 40.54 aud the Boston rate 51.50.

Tho total number of deaths making this terribly heavy record for Paris was of which 702 wero from pneumonia and bronchitis. These figures show in a striking way the comparative mildness of the grip that has crossed the ocean.

The deaths in this city for tho last three days were Sunday 52, 12 of them from pneumonia and bronchitis; Monday 80, 23 from pnonmonia and bronchitis, and Tuesday 88, 27 from pneumonia and bronchitis. FOR MALICIOUS PROSECUTION. Why a Notary Public Is Suintr a Widow. Chief Judgo Clement and a jury considered to day in the City Court the troubles of Adolbert Z. Prior, a notary public, who wants $1,000 elam ages from Mrs.

Annie Haase because, ho alleges, she maliciously caused his arrest and prosecution on a charge of petit larceny. Mrs. Haase is a widow. She wanted to obtain letters of adminis tration on her husband's estate and she sought Prior's advice. On August 15 she appeared before Police Justice Goetting and complained that Prior had induced her to give him $0 to procure tho letters of administration and that ho had taken no steps to procure them.

On this com plaint Prior was arrested for" petit larceny, but was subsequently discharged, it having boon shown that he had merely introduced a lawyer to the lady and signed for $5 on account, the money going directly into the lawyor's possession. Prior declaiedthat ho had no knowledge concerning any additional sum tho lawyer may have received and that ho was in no way rospousiblo tor the lawyer's alleged failure to act. Tho defense is a denial that Mrs. llaaso acted maliciously and also a denial ot the allegation that Prior was imprisoned because ot tlio charge of petit larceny. From the testimony it appeared that if Prior was imprisoned at all at the time mentioned in his complaint, it was on tho charge of assaulting a deputy sheriff, who, acting in Mrs.

Haaso's interest, had called him a thief. The case is still on. For tho plaintiff, H. J. Morris; for the defendant, Hugo Hirsh.

A Measure Intended to UcMeftt the Grand Army of the Kenublfc Tlie Men Behind Barrett's Bridge Bill. Special to the EaffleJ Aluanv, N. January 22. There are several Republicans in the Senate no icvoted to the State that they desire to do double Jutyin the interest of the sufferine taxpayers. 5f this noble band are Senators Erwin and Yed icr.

Senator Erwin to day introduced a resolution giving the Committee on General Laws, of which ho is chairman, power to investisate the caUBoa of death by electricity, to employ electrical exports, to send for persons and papers, and to do a crcat many other things calculated to worry electric corporations. Mr. Envin'd personal disinterestedness in the matter uccmotl so apparent that even his Republican colleagues umilel, hut the resolution was laid over after Senator Cantor sarcastically susKested that it might save time by filving each of the Senate committees power to make iuvestiirations and employ counsel at any time they might feel inclined. Krwin's invedi gatioii is the third that has already been proposed in the Senate and the session is still young. Senator Cantor very appropriately said the Committee on General Laws could act on the matter without incurring the needless i pense contemplated by Mr.

Erwin. Senator Birkett introduced a bill which is said to bo backed by the Brooklyn Memorial Committee of the Grand Army of the Republic. The bill amends the act providing for the relief of indigent soldiers and sailors and the families of those deceased. It provides that in the County of Kings and City of Brooklyn and City and County of New York the boards of cstimato shall provide such sums as may bo necessary for the relief of the persons to be benelited by the act. Such sums are to be drawn upon by the chairman and treasurer of the Memorial and Exocntivo committees on the County Treasurer of Kings County.

In tho city and County of New York and in the County of Kings the chairman and treasurer of the Memorial and Executive committees respectively shall lile with tho county clerk of their counties a notice of their intention to invoke such relief as provided in this act, which notice shall contain names and addresses of chairman and treasurer. They are also to file a report annually, giving the names of persons relieved and amounts disbursed. An interesting provision directs that the Board of Estimate shall, at their next annual meeting, or at such times as they may meet, urovido such sum or sums of money to reimburse the several posts of the Grand Army in this State that have heretofore complied with existing laws providing for tho relief of soldiers ami their families and rendered assistance to them in any such city or town, or in (he City of New York, the City of Brooklyn and the towns in the County of Kings, for the sum or sums so laid out and expended by them tor the relief of such indigent and suffering soldiers, Bailors and marines, the same to be drawn upou and paid over, as hereinbefore directed. The proposed act which was spoken of in yesterday's Eaole as the Barrett Bridge bill, was not originated by him. It is said to have eminated from John J.

O'Brien and Charles Swan, two veterans in the production of certain kinds of legislation. Rumor has it that Mr. Barrett was taken in under the impression that he would be able to secure the support of Kings County legislators for the scheme. Assemblyman Henry Clay Johnson, of Queens County, desires to win the favor of the gilded youth, who indulge in the gentle sport of rabbit coursing at Hempstead. This morning he introduced a bill intended to legalize the sport.

Assemblyman Kelly, of Kings, introduced a bill rating polrec pilots as detective sergeants with the BHine pay as the latter receive. Judge Brandon and Supervisor YanNostrand, of the Town of Newtown, are here to shove a bill legalizing the levy of $1 and 10 cents on every funeral. Tho charge is made now and th 2 Newtown ollicials are afraid that Brooklyn and New York undertakers will refuse to submit to paying further trubute. Senator Fassett has announced the Committee the Worlds' Fair; on it are Senators Erwin, Coggeshall, Jacobs, Yedder, Brown, Stewart, Hendricks, Chase. EDITOR FAKKIK'S IXFORJIAI'IOX.

It YVlla Furnished Secretly to the I i ted States Senate Committee. (Special to the Eagle.) Toronto, Out January 22. A special commissioner of the Empire newspaper has just returned from New York and Washington, where he has been investigating the charges made in the Canadian press that the Mail, through its editor, Mr. Farrar, has been furnishing secret information to Senator Hoar's Committee on Canada Relations, with a view to promoting the annexation of Canada to the United States. The Empire publishes to day a three column report of the commissioner's work in which conclusive evidence of the truthfulness Of the report is given.

Among the more important statements are the following by a gentleman in Now York, who attended the sessions of the noar committee in that city. His name is not given, but the Empire says it is prepared to establish it at once, if necessary, After speaking of the way in which Mr. Wiuian was badgered into giving his evidence, lie say: "A most sig nilicanhing came under my observation and when Mr. Wyman would mako a particularly strong point, Senator Hoar would lean over to the Becretary of tho commission, Mr. Wright, the Mail's Washington correspondent, and say: 'Now, what does Farrar say about or, 'Where is that evidence that Fanar gave us on this or, 'Did not Farrar give us something on Thou Mr.

Wright wmild plunge into a big trunk, which tiic Commission carried with thorn and guarded very cit fully, ami the evidence of Mr. Farrar, or tho statistics of Mr. Farrar, or whatever it might be. would be furthcoming. This occurred at least half a dozen times.

At Washington Senator Dolph was seen and was asked, "Is it true that Mr. Farrar, of the Toronto Hail, has made statements to the Senate Committee on Canadian Relations to the elfeet that if the passage of the ISuttcnvorth bill, or any legislation by the Congress of the United States looking to general reciprocity wi th Canada were defeated, Canada could be coerced into consenting to annexation with tho United States 7" Senator Dolph replied, "It is true that Btatom. nts have been made to our committee that if we in tlio United States did not accept reciprocity with Canada that she would before very long be willing to be annexed to our Union, but these statements were in the nature of secret communications and I cannot give you any more than this general outline of them." This question was asked, "Did Mr. Farrar make such statements Senator Dolph replied, "As I have said, that matter has been held as a secret one, but wbile I cannot give you a fuller epitome of what Mr. Farrar, who was down here, laid before the committee, lean tell you that he made such The Commissioner saw V.ntstus Winian, who, after some hesitation, paid: "You may say for me that I am ttrongly of the opinion and that I have thoroughly satisfied myself that not )nly did Mr.

Farrar, as representing the inmi Hail, furnish the Senate Committee secretly jvith a mass of information, all tending to Jtrengtheu the annexation theory, but that he Impressed upon them the fact that if Congress Vfould refuse all overtures of reciprocity, Canada would quickly be glad to annex herself to tho THE WEATHER.
