of the Fraudulent IScan lined Off on Itio A specimen bean of the frau lment coffee that has lately been put upon the market is on file in Chemist Martin office at Sanitary Headquarters inN.wYork. It is eff tho size and general appearance of the Mocha bean, but would hardly deceive anvone if lots of lhe genuine bean and the fraud were put id; by side. Tho trouble is they are mixed and it is thus the spurious bean passes muster. Dr. Martin is having it analyzed to find out just what it is made of.

Ho does nut believe it contains any hurtful ingredients. The fraud probably goes no further than tho substitution of harmless Hour paste with a little coloring matter tor the cor fee. If so, tho Health authorities cannot interfere. Dr. Martin says that he received his beans a week or so ago from Dr.

Newton, tho State Food Commissioner of New Jersey, who had just seized a couple of tons of the spurious, berry in Trenton These boms proved to have come from Philadelphia. An inspector of the Health Department has been detailed to make a thorough search of the downtown stores in New York in order to ascertain to what extent, it any, the fraud has been palmed off on tlie market. TYPHUS FEVERANDA HURRICANE. The State or Pennsylvania, Now In Brooklyn, Experiences Both. Tho State of Pennsylvania, twenty two days out from Glasgow, arrived at Quarantino last night.

One of the firemen was suffering from typhus fever. The caie was a pronounced ono. Tho fireman's namo was John Devlin, aged 24, single, a native of England. He was transferred tolNorth Brothers Island and the ship wasf umi gatod. This morniug tho State of Pennsylvania came up to her dock in Brooklyn.

Sho carried forty ono steerage aud tWenty four cabin passenger. Ono of her officors stated this morning that he had never encountered such a rongh voyage. Tho wind arose to a hurricane and the seas became tumultuous and mountainous. They would break over the dock of tho vessol with tremendous force. On tho night of January 17 threo boats wore waahotl overboard and two others were smashed by tho sea breaking over the ship.

Tho bulwarks wero also torn away. Captain Maun, who is accounted tho most skillful seaman in the company's oir ploy, tried to run the vessel into St. John b. but could not do so on account of tho ico that blockaded that harbor. He tried all the night of tho to enter, but could not.

On tho 25th he put into Halifax and left that port for New York on the 27th. WHERE HID YOU GET THAT HAT? Tames Harper's Iralerestinir Answer to the Familiar Qncstion. James Harper, of 175 Middletou Btreet, who was arrested some days ago on the complaint of hiB wife, Emma, charging him with assault and batterv, appeared this morning in Justioo Goot ting's Court with two hats. One of his friends happening to ask, "Where did you get that hat, Harper?" he said with an air of triumph, "111 soon lot you know whero I got that hat." It appears that on tho adjournment of the easo after his arreBt a lawyer who had learned the particulars of the case said to him, "Harper, you caunot be compelled to live with your wife, but tho law will compel you to support hor, and I would advise you to make a beginning by going to her and paying a reasonable proportion of your wages." Harper took the advice bo kindly volunteered. Tlie rest of tho story he tells himself: "On Tuesday evening I went to 21 Lori mer street, where my wifo lives, to givo her 14 and state what my intention was; but when the door opened I saw the figure of a man retroating rapidly to the rear room, and I thought he stooped down and went under the bed.

Then I said, 'As I'm not going to live with yon, I'll tako my My wife said 'All right," and I went info the bedroom, and while I looked for my clothes I failed to see the man whom I'm certain I saw enter the room, so I felt satinfied that he was under' the bed. Under tho table, however, I found this derby hat, which by these two initials embroidered on the tip, I readily recognised as the hat of a man who works in the Union Print Works on Union avonue. I took tho hat with my own clothes, and here it is. Now you Know where I got that hat." Now it appears that shortly after Harper left his wife's apartments on Tuesday ovening a woman and a bareheaded man visited tho Stagg street police station and solicited detective assistance for tho recovery of a hat which had boon stolen from a house in Lorimer street. The visitors were told to apply to Justico Goetting for a warrant, and yesterday thoy did so, but without success.

MMEDITiON TUCOSDAY EVENING. JANUARY 30. 1890. FISCHEE TALKS. He Says Franklin Woodruff Bought No Votes.

Bnt Oue of Baldwin's Men, He Declares, Is to Receive $1,000 in Installments. Other Alleged Purchases of Delegates. Special to the Eagle. Albany, N. January 30.

Senator Birkett seems to be on the best of tonus With UiniHclf to day. He rcgaras Daggett's statement as a perfect vindication of his (Birkelfs) course, and will make no further explanation concerning the notes given to Cirecnlcaf Smith. Those notes are understood to have been destroyed, although photographic copies are in existence. This morning tho Senator and Port Warden Lcaycraf had a friendly conversation in the Delevan House, and separated with smiles. Leaycraft is said to hold the photographs of the notes that were held as a club over I'irkett's head.

As Mr. Leaycraft has for several years cultivated tho friendship of legislators, it is not expected that he will got on unfriendly terms with Senator Birkett. Sir. Israel Fischer, one of Mr. Franklin Wood ruff's shrewdest lieutenants, is here.

He was asked what he thought about Albert Daggett's statement and he replied: "I can say with the Eaolb that Mr. Daggett will require something more than his own assertions, backed by affidavits of strikers, to convince the public that he has not resorted to forbidden methods." Mr. Fischer was asked: "Is it true that Mr. Woodruff or his friends, secured votes or promises of votoa by offers of political places?" Mr. Fischor replied: "It is not true.

We learned then the other side woro offering money and places for votes. Mr. Nathan, in his own office, promised places to delegates. It is true that gomo places wero given delegates who voted for Mr. Woodruff, but those placcB wore given on promises that had been made long before the contest between Mr.

Woodruff and Mr. Baldwin. No one was bribed with a placo by Mr. Woodruff or his friends." Mr. Fischer was next asked "Wero any of these places given on such promises aa you have in dicatod, conferred on delegates who voted for Mr.

Woodruff To this Mr. Fischer responded, dryly; "Well, no; I think not." Was Greenleaf Smith offered money by Mr. Willis?" tho Eagle correspondent asked. Mr. Fischer replied "An offer was made but that was solely for tho purpose of getting Smith to show bia hand.

Willis said to Smith: 'How is it that yon, after having promised to vote for Mr. Woodruff, arc now going to vote against him Smith said: 'People are looking out for themselves in this 'What do you said Willis. Theu Smith, like a darn fool, gave the whole thing away." "Did Smith get his check back?" inquired your correspondent. Mr. Fischer smiled suggestively as he answered "I gnoBS he got tho money tho check called for.

The Daggett people think wo havo not got any evidence in this case. The notes were photographed. Yes, I guess Leaycraft has got tho photographs. These people purchased six votes in one ward, thrco in another and threo in a third. To day I learned for the first timo of another man they purchased for $1,000.

monoy which he is getting in weekly installments. I expect to get enough evidence against this man to cause his arrest. He is one of the men who made the affidavits in Daggett's statement. I say most positively that not a dollar waB spent in the interest of Mr. Woodruff." Mr.

Fischer was asked if it would not have beon good policy on tho part of Mr. Woodruff aud his friends to adopt a conciliatory policy after having defeated Mr. Baldwin. "No, I don't think so," was tho prompt answer. Anlied next as to what ho thought the Democratic majority in Kings County would he next Fall, Mr.

Fischer responded, facetiously, "I guess about twenty thousand. The trouble would not have arisou if Daggett had kept out of Kings County. Judge Troy said to Daggett after tho exposure was made, 'Didn't you lose your head. when handed over those 'Lose my id naa cre.tt. I lost my whole Clarence Barrow.

Leaycraft, ex Judge Lewis REED'S RULINGS Democrats Fighting Desperately for Their Eights. The Speaker's RoTOIntionftry Conrso Pro Yokes Another Hot Contot in tho Honse. The Situation Full of Danger. Washington, D. January 30.

Special to the Eagle. The blind chaplain impressively recited the Lord's Prayer at the opening of the House proceedings to day. His emphasis was dramatic when he pronounced the words, Thy will be dono on earth as it is in heaven. Lead us not into temptation." The significance of this admonition was keenly felt by all his auditors. Tho clerk proceeded to read tho journal of yosterday, omitting, however, tho reading of the names of tho yea anil nay votoa.

Breckinridge, of Kentucky, demanded tho uamos. Speakor Reed would pay no attention to him until the white haired, silver tongued Kontuekian, had compelled the clerk to desist and forced recognition. Then the names of those voting, as well as those who did not vote, wero oalled. Rogers demanded that his name be placed on the list of nou voters, and Reed so ordered. The clerk here tried to skip half a dozen pages containing Reed's decision' of yesterday declaring a quornm visible.

Springer insisted on hearing it in full and he succeeded. Blanch ard, of Louisville, rose to correct tho journal. Reed refused to recognize him, but nodded to McKinley, who moved that the Journal of yesterday's proceedings as read should bo approved, and upon that demanded tho previous question. ThenaroBe a tumult on the Demooratic side that was not surpassed yesterday. Blanchard was heard above the din declaring that his privilege as a Representative in the House for his State wero affected by a false entry in the journal and that tho matter was of the highest importance.

Roed to. permit him to proceed, declaring the question 1 out of order. Springer again came to the rescue of the minority with a motion to adjourn and upon that demanded the yeas and nays. Rood was forced by yells and jeers to recognized this as in order, but as soon as quiet was obtained Bland stood up and in a ringini voieo declare 1: "I donounco tho occupant of tlm ohair as a tyrant When tho apphnse at this sally closed the call proceeded ou the motion to adjourn. Felix Campbell and Magner were among the absentees.

They havo not been here this week, notwithstanding the fact that Democrats have never been bo badly needed in Congress as now. There woro 142 yeas and 1(10 nays. The motion to adjourn was lost, and on JicKitiloy's motion for tho approval or tho Journal Carlisle domanded tho yeas and nays. The result was, yoa, IOO; nays, 1. No quorum voting, Reed named a lot of Democrats.

Chipman insisted that he ahould nlo be named, as he was present and refuged to vote. Springer mado the point tint no quorum had voted, although the Speaker had shown one present. Reed refused to reeotrnizo any points of order or privileges, but insisted on putting McKinley's original motion, which had just been declared the previous question, by a yea and nay vote. The uproar et this timo was greater than has ever been known in the history of tho House. Tho Kentucky 'Breckinridge rushed down into the arena and vigorously shook his fist iu Reed's face, denouncing MeKinloy's motion as gag law, and Reed's action' as usurpa tory, revolutionary, ami corrupt.

Rogers culled Reed a "hoodlum." Cries' of "Czar," "Unite" resounded through the ball. The crowded visitors' gallfly took sides ami hissed, applauded and howled. The noise was deafening and lasted live minutes. Reed did not move a muscle as the epithets were heaped on him until Carlisle camo to tho front and insisted on having the put to liio house. The clerk had apparently begun the roll call yet no one could hear the names.

Silence was restored, and Reed said he had wanted to put the question but was not allowed. Now ho refused to put it. Candler, of Georgia, insisted upon knowing what he was voting about, and Itee sai tho House was too disorderly for him to talk. Candler replied the House was moro in order than the speaker. A number of Democrats remained ou thuir feet with points of order but were not noticed.

Finally Reed said that if every one would sit down he would repeat the question. Springer replied; "We aro not going to sit down. We aro goiug to stand up for our rights." Springer remained standing, trying to get his point of order up which was to correct the record. Read insisted that he should take his seat. Springer insisted that there was iro rule, to make him sit while ho chose to stand and assert the rights of tho constituents that elected him.

Rood recognized. MeKinloy, but after five min utes he had finally to let Springer proceed, and McKinley. under protest, and amid cries of Gag," was compelled to let Springer go on. Springer showed that by every parliamentary law in the world it. was possible to correct the record of any body by a vote of a majority of the members and he insisted upon having that por tion including the names of visible Democrats orte.l yesterday, removed to day.

Reed over ruled him and another appeal was made. Reed finally did get a ohauoj to state the ques tion, and at 1:40 P. M. tin! vote ou the actual adoption of the journal began. The Democrats abstained from voting and Reed had a lot them recorded as present.

Buck nlew alone voted in the negative. The journal was adopted by 102 yeas, nay. The aspect of the fight is getting more eerinus every moment. A few cooler heads this mormug among the Democrats favored the expediting of the contest tn a conclusion, and when tho Democrat, Jackson, was unseated by the Speaker's ruling, to carry the case to the Supreme Conrt ami have the whole matter settled, thoy in tended to continue the appeal from the Speaker's decision and have the Supreme Court rule ou that, but the events of to day angered tho minor ity beyond the possibility of cool action and alarm is felt that some impetuous fellow, from the South probably, may do something indis creet and involve the entire Democracy in au unfortunate manner. Tho House is now on tho verge of rioting and is drifting rapidly to tho brink of the volcano.

MRS. LANE DODCiES I.N TIME. IBotr Site IftHcaped Being' ISil by a Tea An action for limited divorco, on tho ground of cruel and inhuman treatment, begun by Mrs. Josephine Lane against her husband, George A.

She dodged it in time and it was hurled to pieces, she says, against tho wall. Sho is suro that had it struck her it would have killed her. Shortly after this the couple moved from Brooklyn to New York, and on November 2, while they wero iu that city, Mrs. Lano swears her husband pointed a loaded revolver at her and threatened to shoot her. Sho believed him, she said, and was greatly alarmed and terrified.

Two days afterward she left him because, sho aUeges, he still threatened to kill her. His temper, she Bays, is ungovernable, aud when he gets into a passion he is very violent. In her complaint she adds that since sho loft hor husband ho haa refused to provide for the suptort of herself or her children. Her husbaud, she says, receives $25 a week, and has inherited $10,000 from tho estate of his grandmother, Mrs. SonleB.

The wife declares that siilco the separation sho has had to depend upon her own exertions for the support of herself ana her children. No answer to the complaint has yet heon received. Mirabcau L. Towns counsel for the plaintiff, says that on February 5, he will apply to the Supremo Court for alimony and counsel fee. LAURA JEAS LIBBY PERIL.

What might have resulted in a serious accident bnt for tho conrago of Peter Mnndy, a driver in the employ of Cross, Austin occurred to Laura Jean Libby, the authoress, at 1 :30 to day. She was driving in hor phaeton on Bedford avenue, near Fulton street, when the horse took fright and ran away.

That is the meaning of six coiiBecutivo advertisements that aro now appearing calling stockholders' meetings of these six companies for Maroli 37.

Threo of tho compauios, the Bradloy, the Brooklyn and tho Lonox, will meet attheofneo of tho Bradley Company, 174 Front Btreet; the Union and the Ulster companies will meet at 163 Front stroot, New York, and the Jowett Company at 28 Burling slip, New York. Thoy wiU at that timo consolidate into ono big company, to inn all six of the plants, under Chapter 307 of the Laws of 1884. Tho advertisement says "to appraiso or reject an agreement to consolidate," but nobody has any idea of rejecting and the agreement wRl go through. R. P.

Rowe, secretary of tho Bradley, tho Brooklyn and the Lenox companies, said this morning that the new corporations would bo established merely to consolidate the office management and to economize by getting rid of high priced salaries of presidenta and the like. He was sure that no factories would be closed and that no fewer mon would bo employed than at present. When asked if tho new corporation would take the place of the lead trust Mr. Howe said ho didn't know that there, was any trust. Colonel W.

P. Thompson, president of the trust, a frank and courteous Virginian, had no such scruples. When the samo question was put to him he replied: "No, sir; tho trust will not gp out of business. Wo believe in trusts here, and wo think that the courts will believe in them when the snbjoct is properly presented. As to this new corporation it is merely an arrangement, which the laws of New York provide for with favorable conditions, to place the business of these New York companies under a more closely consolidated and responsible HE PAID A FINE.

Mr. Whitehead Gives No Evidence in the Dixon Case. Jnstice Tighe Onf wits the Lorers of Scandal and the Sensational Action Is Quick IT mid Quietly Closed. An eagerly expectant crowd was assembled" in the Butler street court this morning anxious to hear the evidence in the case of Mib. Maggie Dixon asainst Salesman Alfred Whitehead for assault.

Bnt the sccndal lovers were doomed to disappointment, for Justice Tighe adjourned the hearing of the oase to his privato room and excluded therefrom all but the parties to the suit, their compel, the court officers and the ropresen taiives of the press. The case in brief is this: Mrs. Maggie Dixon, wifc nf George Dixon, a clerk in the employ of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Coal Company, and living at J5 Willow place, alleges thatonthoiothdayof October lan she visited the furniture store of the Cowperthwait Company. Fulton street and Gallatin Place, to pay for goods already bought and make other purchases. While she was in the store, Bhe avers, Whitehead seized her hand and took other liberties with her.

This action was witnessed by her .1 year old child. That nmht she told her hu band or the nccur. ico an 1 he wrote to Whitehead an apology. None was given till the atienti of the head or the house was called to the matter, who wrote to Mr. Dixon and said if r.n.vthin:,' out of the.

way had occurred he was sure it. was unintentional and hoped that Mr. Divci would accept lis apology on bchaif lh Unu. It ha been cmlitlcnily asr.errud by Whitehead's friei ds that tlie a would not be liroiinht into co'nri. or if it was that his innocence would speedily be proved.

The defendant was then given an opoor.unit to go on tho stand, but greatly to the surprise ot every one, ex Judge Troy arose and made the following somewhat mysterious statement: "For reasons which I cannot explain now or bore I am not going to put Mr.Whitehead on the stand.

An Officer's Kscitinfr Experience in the Sixteenth Precinct. A fierce looking Indian, tomahawk in hand, but with immovable features, called forth all the latent bravery of ono of tho finest iu the Sixteenth Precinct a few nights ago. It appears that Officer Bnrkctt, whoso pluck cannot he questioned, was put on a now post after midnight on account of sickness among the men. He is a careful officer and quite a temperance man, so it will be readily understood that uo spirits of a material kind helped Irks imagination in sighting a burglar. He went along carefully, trying store doors on Wythe avenue uu til he camo to a cigar store.

The door of tho store ia of glasB and tho window shade was up, but there was no light inside. Tho officer tried tho door, found it locked, so he raised hiB dark lantern to discern if all was right inside. Tho light suddenly flashed ou the form of a man near the door. The shock was sudden, so sudden that the officer retreated a little. In a moment he had his revolver in one hand and his club in the other and advanced cautiously toward the door.

He peered into the darkness of tho store, and there stood tho daring thief in an altitnde which indicated that he was prepared to give battle. The officer saw that there was somo weapon in his hand, but what it was he was unable to determine. As he neared the door he was ready to call upon the bnrglar to surronder unconditionally, but as he again placed his hand upon the door latch he threw the light of bis lantern full upon tho thief. There stood the man in the samo position, tomahawk in hand. He eyed the supposed burglar Hawkshaw fashion, thon laughed ns he realized that it was the cigar dealer's wooden Indian.

Andrews and Acker, spokesmen for Thomas (J. Piatt, mado long and tiresome speeches in support of the Senate amendments, but did not venture to givo any specific reason why the twenty two new names wero added. Hamilton Fish alarmed tho Platf men when he declared with emphasis that he was opposed to the amendments. "Whence come thesfl names; why aro they before us ho asked. Bui no reply was made.

Mr. Fish declared that if it should go out to tho country that Ilepublicani had amended tho bill solely for the purpose ol gaining control of tho fair. Democrats would unite with Chicago Congressmen aud deprivo Now York of the fair. "It has been told by certain Senators," said tho speaker, "that thenamce were put in to benefit tho Ilepubliean party. I say the party cannot afford to profit by a wrong." During tho discussion the Piatt Senators made thoir appearance in force in the Assembly Chamber and then buzzed the representatives from thoir respective districts.

They did not try io convert the Depew members, and socmod to feai that the amendments would be stricken out by a union of Democrats aud Republicans who do not wear Piatt's collar. Mr. Mase, a Republican, opposed tho amendments and said: "There ia a law in this State which requires dogB to wear collars, but no law reauiriug an Assemblyman to wear oue. If collars are to he worn they should stamped with the name of the owner of tho man wearing them." Mr. Nixon, also a Republican, opposed the amendments.

Then Speaker Ilusted took the floor aud as a friend of Chauncoy M. Depew repudiated the use of tho latter's name in tho discussion. A voto was then taken ou Mr. Sheehan'B motion to strike out the Senate amendments. There were 08 votes for Mr.

I The Famous Strauss Orchestra of Vienna. Johu D. Elivcll Back From En. opo With tho Contract Flais or the American Tour Its Leader. Mr.

John D. Elwoll, for fifteen years director of the Philharmonic Society, and otherwise prominent in musical, literary and social circles in Brooklyn, who recently made the contract with tho Strauss Orchestra, of Vienna, returned from Europe last night, He said this morning that the orchestra would start from Eurorjo early iu May and occupy the Madison Square Garden, Now York; for four months. A tour of Canada and the United States will theu be uu lertakvn, commencing in September and en ling in December. The details and dates have not yet been definitely fixed, but it is expected that Brooklyn will have several opportunities both before and alter tho general tour of the country to hear these distill guished exponents of waltz and other light music. The orchestra will bo under the concert direction of Mr.

D. Blakely, of New York, for many years tho manager for Gil. uore. It will bo slightly larger for its American tour than it has been for the last thirty years. Among the additions which have boen made on the advice of the oldest living member of tho renowned Strauss family, Joliann Strains, are two extra first violins, which will tend to greater brilliancy aud effect.

Edouard Strauss, the present loader and under whom the groatest distinction has beeu achieved by this famous orchestra, which was foundod about forty years ago by his father and has beon conducted uninterrnpte Uy ever sinco by members of tho fnmily, is tho youngest of three sons. His title is Hof BaU Musik Director of the Emperor and Court of Austria. His father's namo wasjohann Strauss, long since dead. He was the first to establish the world wide reputation of the Strauss waltzes. Upon his doath hi piaco was immodiutely taken by his eldest son, Joseph, who also conferred additional luster upon the name, both for beautiful waltz and like compositions and as conductor of the orchestra which interpreted the music of the family.

Joseph Strauss is also dead. Tho next brother, Johaun, occupied his place for a long time, and is still living. He is now an old man and does not conduct any more, though he still composos. Johann is moreover famed as the composer of numerous, successful operettas, among them being tho "Merry War" and "Gipsy. Baron." He is the only member of the family who has been in America.

Ho came to this country iu 1872, unaccompanied, however, by his orchestra, and took a prominent part in the great World's Peace Jubilee which was held in Boston iu that year. Edonard is the yonugost member of the family and is the most distinguished of them all as a leader. His compositions aro also of an excel lent order. Ho is at present eugagod on a waltz, which he will de licate to America. Ho proposos to embody in it snatches here and there from distinctly American melodios, such as negro songs and othor popular tunes for a collection of representee ones of which he has sent to this country.

His atyle of conducting is not very much dissimilar to that of Johann, though it lacks considerable of tho eccentricity and is infinitely more graceful. He uses his bow aB a baton in tho interpretation of overtures and tho like, but plays his violin when waltzes and. polkaB aro being rendered by tho orchestra. Those who have heard him say that he takes the greatest liberty imaginable with the tunes when playing dance music, now accelerating and now retarding, but always producing on his listeners an electric effect that semis the blood tingling down to the finger tips. Mr.

Elwell avers he will drive tho American girl crazy lo dance when he plays here. When last in Europe General Sherman urged him very strenuously to undertake an American tour, which he declared could uot help but be very successful, Strauss himself lsknown to have said that General Sherman's representations are largely responsible for his desiro and subsequent decision to come to this country. In regard to this decision, which has spread all over Europe, many resident Americans who havo often heard Strauss havo pout over congratulatory messages to their friends here that they will have tho opportunity of listening to tha inspiring strains of his music, among them being United States Ministers William Walter Phelps and Fred Grant, in Berlin and Vienna, respectively, and their families. Concerning his programmes it is said that ho make. them up with great kkiu.

anuy muani ui light overtures, minor pieces and danco music composed by his brother Johann and himself. His artistic temperament for effect leads him to play a sweet sons and immediately after an irresistible waltz, the effect of which iB very appreciably heightened. By his methods he haB vir tually transported dance muBic into classic realms and so delights the senses in playing it that, ho has mado Vionna a veritable Mecca of lovers of the poetry of motion. Mr. Elwell feels that he has done some musical mission work, but is reticent as to terms.

Tho Grangers, Vandorbilts anil Uouia stocKs were only moderately dealt in ami the fiuctua tious in them were narrow and the tone to them firm.

The bear party was not aggressive until the last hour of the session when their representative brokers attacked the anthracite coal stocks which, however, yielded only slightly to the pressure, except Jersey Centrai.which was raided about 1 per cent. Lonisvillo and Nashville gave way about a point on realizing sales, but was well supported at the decline. The improventlin Richmond autl west I'omt Terminal was maintained, and at times tho stock was one of the active features of the market. The Yillard properties were fairly active with but slight variatiou in prices. In the unlisted department sugar refineries' stock was the most prominent of the trusts and waB stronger in tone at higher quotations.

Other stocks were dull and neglected. Bonds active and firm. Money on call plentiful, 2'6 to 3. The market closed dull and steady. Tho following tablo shows the course of the stock markot for this day Opnu ing.

"Walker and Miss Herald Were Wot in Earnest. The Canadian Parliament May Set Aside a Hock Ceremony in Which a Brooklyn Man Was One of the Principals. A dispatch from Hamilton, says that proceedings to annul the marriago of Mr. A. Percy Walker and Miss Emily Herald havo been instituted.

The ceremony is said, in the telegram, to have been performed by ltev. Rural Dean For neret in Dundas, iu 1884; that the groom was at tho time only 20 years old and tho brido about 18; that tho young lady was tho daughter of the late W. M. Herald, a piano manufacturer, of Hamilton; that shortly after the wedding Mr. Walker loft the city; that his present place of residence is Brooklyn, aud that the action is brought by the lady on tho grounds that both Were under age at the time, and that they never lived togother as man and wifo.

Tho dispatch added that Mr. J. M. Gibson would Bhortly go to Ottawa to urge upon tho Divorco Committee of the Senate the claims of Miss Heraldv Mr. Walker lives at 105 St.

Felix street, r.nd is employed in the office of the Jewell Milling Company, at tho foot of Fulton Btreet. Ho is a pleasant spoken young man, with a handsome blondo mustacho. When Bhown to day a copy of tho dispatch, which contained some sensational features that are not included in the above epitome, he said, after reading it over slowly: "That is untrue iu many respects, and there iB going to be trouble for the Hamilton paper that published it." "Has tho action Bpoken of boen commenced?" he was asked. "I know very little about that, only what was contained in a legul paper that was sent me. The lady is not my wife; wo aro not married." is the whole thing false "Well, no.

It camo about through amateur theatricals, but we nover considered that we had been married. In fact, the youug lady was engaged at tho time, I never thought any more about the matter, and I don't think Miss Herald (lid, until a paper published something about it. Wo never lived together. Why, he day after it I think it was the day after I left the city and have not been there since. I went South, whore I remained for about two years.

I didn't give the matter a thought after that, and probably would have forgotten it altogether but for the publication. Miss Herald and I have not met since." "Was the weddiug in the nature of a Jark "Oh, something like that. It was not a legal marriage aud neither of us has any claim on each other. There iB really no need ta begin the action for the annulment of the ceremony, hut I suppose that that was dono because of the publication. MisB Horald, I believe, is soon to be married.

Mr. Gibson is a friend of both of us." "Did the ceremony take place, in the presence of witnesses "No." "Was it performed during tho theatricals "Yes. Mr. Forneret was a guest in the house at the time. The youug lady and I took part in the theatricals.

It was between tho acts that the mock marriage took placo. I paid so li Me attention to it that I cannot remember any of the details. There was nothing in it at all. I suppo the action has been brought simply for the purpose of preventing any possible misunderstanding iu tho future. I do not kuuw how far the proceedings havo progressed.

Beyond what I havo read iu the paper that was sent to me I know nothing. There is no reason why, if the case is carried to tho Senate, tho petition should nut be granted. I was as surprised as anyone when I heard of tho publication. The ceremony was performed in fun aud there is nothing binding about it. The sensational features mentioned in tho dispatch were wholly lacking.

This is all there is to tho matter." HATKlAilCllS OF FLUSHING. Twenty two JUnrrioit Give, a Grand Stall. The matriarchs" ball, given by twenty two married ladies, iillod the Flushing Opera House witli a uiorry throng last night. Tho matriarchs were Slosdames J. L.

About (iraud Jury Actliou Sherifl Uliiachart'u Statement. The statement published by ex Senator Daggett yesterday concerning the maimer in which Franklin Woodruff securod his election as chairman of the Republican General Committee has nttracted the attention of Democrats as well as Republicans. Mr. Daggett states that to secure the defeat of David A.Baldwin, Messrs. Franklin Woodruff, Theodore B.

Willis and their associates were guilty of bribery by office giving, forgery, lying aud deceit, the open purchase of votes, and the attempt to secure an election by intimidation aud fraud Accompanying this statement are affidavits by Theodore Wich, Michael Btichman, Greenleaf A. Smith, Louisa F. Buchman and William P. Miller, which havo astonished many who read them. Tho I Grand Jury will moot next week and it will bo surprising if the signers of these affidavits are not called before that body with a view of lindiug indictments against tho accused.

Tho goncral impression is that Daggett has made the quarrel of the Ilepubliean factions a matter of public concern by his disclosures, the truth or falsity of which the Grand Jury is in duty bound to attempt to ascertain. District Attorney James W. Hidgway was asked "his rooming if ho intended to bring the matter boforo tho Grand Jury. Ho said; "I havo seon but have not had timo to road Mr. Daggett's statement.

The pressure of business of late has beon exceedingly groat, and I havo been busy on cases now before the court from morning until night. The Grand Jury will be organized next week, and by that time I hope I "will have timo to read the statement "Is there anything to prevent the Grand Jurors taking up the matter if they feel so disposed ho was asked. "Nothing whatever," said Mr. Ridgway. Franklin Woodruff, Naval Officer Willis and their friends are now hard at work preparing their statement in answer to ex Senator Daggett.

None of them will say in advance what the statement will contain, but they appear confident of their ability to make a complete refutation of Mr. Daggett's charges and intinvtto that when "they get through that the shoo will be on the other foot. This statement, it is expected, will bo ready on Saturday next. Sheriff Clark D. Ithinehart was asked this morning if he had anything to say concerning the statement.

HeBaid: "I believe that every man should answer for himself. Of the statement as a whole I have nothing to say. There is one portion of it, however, which refers to me and that portion reads: In the Seventeenth Ward a gentlemen who was under pecuniary obligation to Sheriff Rhiiiohart was notified that he must settle before o'clock the next day after he had declared himself tor Baldwin or tho Sheriff would proceed to collect by process of law.

The Members of tho Players' Lcasfne Conspicuously Absent IVora the Sessions of the National Agreement Board.

Base ball matters were somewhat more settled this morning, although the league magnates have still some matters of moment upon which to decide. Tho clans gathered slowly and the meeting which was called for 10 o'clock in parlor of the Fifth Avenue lintel, was not convened until 11:30. Tho conspicuous absence of tho players' people, which has been noted by not a few, still held good this iruing, and tho conversations hoard in the corridors wore entirely league Bided, Tho topics of most interest were, of course, the resolution passed yesterday by the league regarding the Ward decision and the probable increase or decrease of the nunibor of tho clubs for next season. The National League seemed bound to push tho reserve matter to an issue at once and decided yesterday afternoon to institute suits in equity in every State and Federal Court in the United Slates, that may be necessary to obtain proper Jurisdiction to restrain the league clubs for 1SO0 from giving their services to any other club or clubs, which in plain English means that every pbiyor in the brotherhood will be made a defendant in a suit to John Montgomery Ward's aud will be. compelled to appear some timo next month.

Both the league and brotherhood people seem thoroughly in earnest, and avow that the contest will be a fight to the finish. The Board of Arbitration, which was in session until late yesterday afternoon, decided to admit the New England League, consisting of the Lowell, Worcester, Springfield aud Hartford clubs, to the protection of the national agree ment. This action was a rather Kcvcie dcteal tor the Atlantic Association, as they Ivivo waged a bitter fisht against these clubs withdrawing from the Atlantic in order to over to the New England Association, as they claimed that such a step waB in direct violation of the constitution of the organization an I that those clubs by such an action would forfeit their rights to the players they had reserved and thereby they would bo reverted to tho association.

Soden and W. H. Conant, of Boston, and Nick Youul'. Mr. Young, when questioned ns to what would probably occupy tho attention of tho meeting, profossed profound ignorance upon the subject, but admitted that the matter would doubtless be iu regard to the increase in the num ber of league clubs.

At 2 o'clock the meeting waB still in progress and Mr. Byrne gave tho information that only a few of the minor details of noxt year's work had been arranged, among which was the adoption of a white uniform to be worn by all clubs when playing upon homo grounds, and colorod suits when playing nnon tho road. This custom will always mako it possible for the spectators to distinguish tho home from the visiting team. The application for admission from the Detroit and Baltimore teams was then taken up and at the hour of adjournment tho matter was still un decided. J0HS BRAY GETS THE CONTRACT.

Flatbush Expects to Have Its Sewer in Seven Months The Board of Street and Sewer Commissioners of the Town of Flatbush met in the Town Hall last evening. President Henry Hesterberg in the chair. There were present James Ryan, William Brown, John D. Randolph aud Howard T. Mont gomery.

On motion of John D. Randolph the contract was awarded to John Bray, tho next lowest bidder, for 101,5153.25. The treasurer was directed to return the certified chocks to tho othor bidders. Mr. Brown voted against tho awarding of the contract to Mr.

Bray, and said that he desired to keep tho Board out of trouble. He said that if they granted the contract the peoplo ho represented would have an injunction against them inside of twenty lour hours. The chairman, Mr. Hesterberg, said "If there is to bo any trouble we might as well have it first as last. We have the advice of counsel that wo can legally accept tho next lowest bid." The chairman appointed Com miasioners James Ryan and Howard T.

Mont gomory in conjunction with tho chairman and counsel, to complete the contract. Mr. Bray said that he would bo able to complete the work in about seven mouths. Ho built the North Second street sower in this city. PASSED WRECKAGE AT SEA.

Tho ship had moderate southeast and very heavy northeast trade winds. On January 24 a very heavy galo, starting from north to northwest and shifting around to north, was encountered. The wind blow with great force for over twenty four hours, during which time the Bhip labored heavily amid the confused sea, but received no material damage.

If tho Sheriff obtained his money because a friend of Baldwin made a corresponding loan with which the original loan was paid was the delegate bribed by Baldwin's friends 7 "Now, the only gentleman in tho Seventeenth Ward to whom that can refer is Mr. Itobert Spit zer. On August 28, last, Mr.

Spitzer came to me with a note for $13r which ho asked mo to cash. I gave him my check for the amount and toak the note. On September '28 ho came to mo and asked for $80 additional, which I loaned him, also taking his note for that amount. He told me that ho would pay both notes in thirty days as that would make them payable on his birth, day when he would be 43 years of age and receive a large amount of money. He did not keep his promise, but whenever I met him on the stroot ho would say he would drop in the office in a day or two and pay up.

Finally he made a definite appointment with me. which he also failed to keep, and then 1 wrote to him saying that I hoped ho would keep tho next appointment he made. I nover asked him to Vote for Woodruff or anybody else. In all his talk with me as to how ho stood on tho election ho would say: 'I'm for Spit.er every Finally on January :) he came to mo again ami gave me too on account of his indebtedness of f'205. Mr.

Daggett in his statement says: 'If tho bhentt obtained ma money because a friend of Baldwin's made a corresponding loan with which the original loan was paid was tho delegate bribed by Baldwin's This would lead one to believo that Mr. Spit.er was given tho money to pay his in debtedness to mo. Perhaps ho was, I know that he gave me only $U0, however." It is said that Naval Oflicor Willis will show in his statement that ho never attempted to or thought of bribing Greenleaf Smith and that his talk with him wae for the solo purpose of ascor. taming what tho othor sido was doing. It is said the statement will also set forth the reason for the return of the notes and checks given to Greenleaf Smith by Daggett aud Birkett.

On this subject Mr. Daggett has been singularly reticent, and people have been curious to know why Mr. WoodrufT returned these documents unless it was for a consideration of some sort. This explanation on the part of Willis and Woodruff will undoubtedly call for a counter statement on the part of Senator Daggett and then tho Grand Jury will probably take the final hand in the matter.
