0., March 27. It ia learned authoritatively at the Post Office Department that Assistant General Olarkson will resign not later than June 1, probably at a much earlier date. He oxpoots to engage in tho newspaper business, and ib considering several plana for the future, but lias not yet determined whioh one to follow. His resignation when tendered will not be on account of any friction with the Postmastor General or any other.department official. Hia relations with Mr.

Wanamaker are particularly pleasant When Olarkson accepted the office it was with tho understanding that ho would leave it at the end oj a year. A largo percentage of the postmasters of the country havo now been changed, and for the remainder of the Administration the duties of the office will be merely clerical. With all tho politics out of the office there is nothing more in it to attract Olarfe aon, who is unwilling to remain as a clerk. The Court Is Lookiug for 6041.09 Rue From Him.

The State of New Hampshiro is after tho Granite State Provident Association and has appointed a commission to iuve.Uigato tho concern. Several parties in this city who havo loaned money to members of the association havo received let tors with the following: State op New Hampshibe, Office ok Bank Commissioneus.

He Seems Convinced That the irfcat iTIcnviirea Will Not Be Passed. Mayor Chapin was to day visited by H. B. Stroeter, F. E.

Thomas and T. B. Graham, a committee of manufacturers and property owners of the Eastern District. They wanted the Mayor to Use his influence in the direction of having airier built at the foot of North First street. The Mayor Baid that legislation wonld bo required and he waa not disposed, nndor tho circumatancM, to sorid any more bills up to Albany.

There were Itonr bills at Albany which he had' sent up and asked to have passed. These measures, which contained simple propositions, were referred to committees on the day they were introduced and had remained committee ever since. However, he would have the Corporation Counsel prepare a bill for a 'pier and send it to Mr. Streeter. Then the petitioners might send it to Albany themselves.

Tho city would not op pose tho bill. Mr. Chapin seems oonvinoed that his measures at Albany will uot be passed. He has said toan Eaole reporter that the Republican Legislative Committee of the connty was determined that no local improvement bill should be made a law this year. Ho also said just what ho told his visitors to he was interested in four bills.

These were repaying, the sinking fund, the park site and tho Eastern. Parkway extension schemes. He knew no. others now; if he had ever known anything about others he had forgotted them. Tho Mayor statos his position very freely to all oitizens who oall upon him with requests'' for local improvements.

It very frequently happens that thoso citizens aro Bepublicans. While ho contends that thore should bo no politics in such matters aa local improvements, he. ia determined to let the people know that with the Legislative Committee and the Legislature must rest the responsibility Jot the defeat of the bills providing for these public workB. Corporation Counsel Jenks, on behalf of the Mayor, has been running to Albany for tho poet two months, to advocate their passage, bat he finds now that he might as well have remained at home, for he believes that the Eepublican Committee will prevail with the Albany legislators. To day Mr.

Jenks is at Albany making a final offorttosavo the Mayor's hills. TAYLOR'S HOPE Not Fully Destroyed by the Bryant Boom. He Means to Keop the Fiffht Up to the End A Libel Suit Ont of the Wood ruff Baldwin War. Colouel Andrew D. Baird and his friends are not yet willing to admit that William Cullen Bryant, of the Brooklyn Times, will be the next Postmaster.

They still think that William J. 1'aylor'a appointment may be brought about and will fight with that object in viow until the appointment is aotnally made. Tlie final effort in Mr. Taylor's behalf will take the form of a jour ney to Washington on the part of Colouol Baird and his friends within ten days. Just whatargur inents will be advanced in favor of Mr.

Taylor, as against Mr.Bryant.it is hard to surmise. The latter is a momber of the Bopubhcan General Committee and cannot be attacked on the score of hia Republicanism, although he has taken no hand in the factional fight which resulted in such recent disclosures. Notwithstanding the desire of all tho parties interested in the laHt contest over the chairmanship of the General Committee to allow the scan dal to die out, it takes new life and fresh interest at unexpooted intervals. At present it is playing a part iu a libel suit brought by Charles A. Ehren berg, who made an affidavit in conjunction with Messrs.

Woodruff, Willis and others, in the course of whioh Mr. Ehronborg Baid that Frederick Hauck had told him the delegates from the Twenty first Ward who voted for Baldwin rc ceiYod tiO each. Mr. Ehreuberg brings his suit against Frederick Hauok for $20,000 damages for slander becauso of an article published in German in tho Frele Presse in reply to his affi davit, which article translated reads: Bboobxyn. February 13, '00.

JImxore.Q, Editorial Management In the reply or wondrun tnerc is aiso.a sworn statement or a certain in which I am also mentioned in a manner not exactly flattering, baid Ehrenberg assorts that tho undersigned had informed him that those delegates of tlio Twenty first Ward who would vote ior air, Daiuwui wmuu recuive jl tiwimo this to be a gross falsehood and cannot wonder sufficiently how a man can communicato such a mountain of infamy to the public. The whole conversation which I had with Ehrenberg consisted iu telling him that at the requeBt of the German Republican Association of tho Twen tv flrst Ward I bad to with Mr. Nathan for an appointment tor jynuip ueermg, whn iu linKirlrirf nn old vftinranr evervthinfr else IB manufactured by Ehrenberg, who seems to havo only sought in" this unpleasant affair that which he would insinnato against others. Bo it also remarked that the clironio seeker for political places has removed to the Nineteenth Ward some time ago Decauoo vneiu is iiuiuhik hv hahihiiPH in thn Twentv iirst Ward. My German colleagues from the Twenty first Ward in the General Committee were from the beginning, with only two exceptions, and before this unpleasant faotional quarrel broke out, for Mr.

Baldwin, aud this becauso in a former term we found him to be a competent, impartial officer. With tho friendly request to publish the above iu your esteemed papor as a contribution of truth I sign respectfully, Fredemck Hauck, tu nan Billed. Mr. Hauck has retained Lawyer Ernst Lasche to defend him, and in his answer admits having written the letter. He denies that Ehrenberg has sustained any daniago because of the'publi eatlon of tho letter, aud alleges that Ehrenberg made the affidavit whicli he did in connection with tho Woodruff Baldwin scandal for tho pnr pose of injuring hira (Hauck), and further that each statement in his letter is the truth.

Messrs. Buttling, Sharkey, Beovos and Brennan, of the committee appointed to consider tho advisability of ordering a re enrollment in the Nineteenth Ward, met last evening at 153 Lawrence street. Thero wero there from tho ward MeBsrs. J. W.

Pickioril, George T. Pickford, Alfred Hodges, Edward Smith, William J. Nolms, George W. Ivins, Frederic Mallison and William Johnson. Mr.

Hodges presented a lengthy petition, whioh set forth that a re ourollmeut of the BepublicauB in tho ward was necessary because many names were on tho roll that should not bo there, because Democrats vote at tho primary elcctious, disfranchising mauy Bepublicans. Tho committeo received the petition, but thought it right to adjourn until the other side could be heard from. FOUND BIffl AT THE PAWN SHOP. Louis Weil Kuetv Where to Look For the Man Who Stole a Watch. Louis Weil, a butcher, iu business at 212 York street, ought to get a position in the police department; He has a boy in his service named Jerry Hutchinson.

Yesterday afternoon tho boy wont out to deliver gooda'and lef his vest hanging iu a haok room. In a pooket of the vest was a genuine Waterbury. A few moments after Jerry was gone John Tammons, of 134 Gold street, came in and went into the back room. When Jerry returned bis vest wbb missing. He had wound his Waterbury only that morning aud he felt very badly.

Weii suspected Ttfmmons and he and his clerk went in pursuit. In McAleney's pawn shop in Sands street, near Fulton, they found their man with the vest in his bands, trying to negotiate a loan. When he saw h'is pursuers he made a break for the door, but Weil grabbed him andades i perate hand to hand struggle followed. Jerry hurried ont for an officer. Finally Tummons was overpowered and Weil stretched him out on the floor and sat on him.

This waa the state of affairs when Officer Bardon, of the Second Precinct, came in with Jerry and put Tummons under arrest. In the Adams Street Court this morning the prisonor pleaded guilty and was remanded for sentence. ATTEMPTED TO ESCAPE. Hie Feet Were tn the Patrol Wagon and Ills Bead on the Pavement. Charles MoGarry, '25 years old, of 205 Navy street, waa arrested and hustled into a patrol wagon on Canton street for being drank and disorderly by an officer of the Fourth Precinct, at 1 o'clock thia morning.

He made an effort to escape, and had almost cleared the wagon, when tho officer grabbed the prisoner's right leg. The vehicle went on and MoGarry was palled along with his head bumping on the pavement for over a block. Hia head was battered and bruised when the wagon was finally brought' to a standstill. MoGarry has been repeatedly arrested and invariably attempted to. escape.

A few weeks ago, while locked up in the Fourth Precinct Station House, he removed ten bricks from the side of hia cell and had almost suceeoded in getting away, when he waa discov ered.by 'the doorman. Justice Kenna thia morning se nt him to the Penitentiary for six months. DEATH OF ARTHUR HALTuIDAT. Mr. Arthur Halliday, son of the Bev.

Not Excluded From tiu settlements Because of Her Order A Letter to Her Brooklyn Friends. SUter Boso Gertrudo, the young Englishwoman who has consoorated her lifo to labor among tho lepers, is hard at work at Kalili, a now station for lepers in tho Hawaiian Islands.

Beports from the island that tho Englishwoman would not be' allowed to follow her mission there wore unauthoritative denied in1 tho Eaqlk of last Sunday by. friends of Sister Bose in Brooklyn. They aro now denied by authority of a long letter received yostorday from Sister Boso herself, who writes oheerfully of her reception on the island and of tho field which she has beforo her. The reason for the supposed chook on hor work which was given in tho telegraph news from San Francisco Sunday was that tho principal leper station in tho Hawaiian Islands, Molokai, on the Island of Kalawao, was in the hands of tho Sisters of the Saored Heart, and that Sister Rose, a member of the Dominicau Sisterhood, would not be allowed within its borders. Tho letter from Sister Bose, which is dated from Kailti March 10, does not contain a hint of such opposition.

On tho contrary, it only speaks in the most enthusiastic term? of her new home. The following abstracts from tho letter will bo of interest: I arrived hero after a dreadful journey lost Saturday. We woro twenty four hours lato on account of a terrible "kona." The captain said he had never seen such a storm in tho Pacific before. I was met at Honolulu by the now president of the board of health and by Mrs. le house.

tho wifo of the British Minister of Affairs. Thoy have inado a new leper settlement at Kalili, and I am going to stay hero for a time. tlie' German physician, Dr. Lntz. is here, an he insists upon having Bouic ono to IioId him.

We have forty pationts, some lepers and somo suspects, women and children, so I shall have everything to do, nurne, teach and look after them. They are expecting me out in Molokai, hut this place needs assistance more. They havo several white patients here, and thoy aro in a vory misorable and depressed condition. Among' these I feol that I havo a special mission in comforting tho. io of my own color.

Sho tolls how kindly Hho waa received by tho natives, who gathered in a trroup outside of the church where sho went on her arrival. She adds again in anothor part of the letter: "I know they aro expecting mo at Kalawao." This does not appear bb if thore was opposition to her going to the station for which sho started. Tho young lady, tho intimate friend of Sistor Bono and in whoso family Sistor Boso stayed while in Brooklyn, said this morning: "Thia does not look much as if she had boon cut off from hor work. So far from it sho has found moro work to do where sho and sho will no doubt remain thero until she is relieved. The hospital at Kalawao has native nurses, over which Sister Bose is to bo put in charge, and physicians and clergymen near at hand.

All this is wanting, ou see, at Kalili, except the doctor, and ho is bo hard worked that ho asks Sister Boso to stay. Beside, I think thoro is anothor reason for Sister Boso'a Btay at Kalili. The hospital at Kalawao is for tho worst cases of leprosy, the dying. Sister Bose was for a long time a pupil of Pastour in Taris and has all her instruments and apparatus with lier for trying his system upon the lepers. It wonld be useless to experiment upon the dying, and sho is no doubt anxious to 8eo if the milder cases cau bo checked by the system she has studied.

Sister Boso is a most talented young woman," continued hor Brooklyn friend. Here is a picture of hor, taken just beforo she loft the city. It is taken in her Dominican garb." The picture wbb a laro sized photograph, and tho flowing whito muslin of the habit, drawn close about tho face, set off tho strong and intellectual yet lovable features most charmingly. "She was relieved by a dispensation from weariug hor habit while traveling," explained her frioud, "but Just as soon as sho took up her work she assumed it again. We had a beautiful letter from Sister Bose'a father a day or two ago.

Ho seemed satisfied with his daughter's mission. You know he is an Episoopal clergyman at Bath, in England." The young lady thought that contributions sent to Sister Boso while at Kalili would be of much greater value than wheu sho had made her way on to Molokai. TOE KINGS COUNTY W. C. T.

He continued: If the boycott of English goods by the Irish element all over the world toud to bring England to her souses and show her that she loses more by denying Home Bule for Ireland than she gains by it, then there is no room for cavil, or for the reports that it had been gotten up for any other purpose.

Thosuit of tho administrators of old Mr. Michael Morriss, tho well to do State Island tailor, against Louisa Emmons and the Seaman's Bank for Savings, was continued to day before Judge Van Wyok in the City Court. Both sides fought over the question of the genuinesa of Morriss' signature to the check which Louisa Emmons says sho got from the old gentleman the day previous to hiB death. An autograph album, in whioh the deceased is alleged to have written an pdo, was submitted in evidence. "What is that, poetry?" askod the lawyer for the plaintiffs, eyeing the ode onriously.

that ia not poetry," replied the defendant's lawyer iu a voice of deep conviction, aa he passed the album around for inspection. Miss Anna Brennan, of 58 Butler street, hluah ingly related what occurred on Augusts, 1888, when she accompanied Louisa Emmons on au excursion to South Beach. Louisa suggested that thoy stop on the way at Stapleton. On the boat thither Miss Brennan noticed a letter which MhsB Emmons oarried in her hand. Miss Brennan asked whatTvaa iu the letter, and Louisa told her it was a refusal of old Mr.

Morriss' offer of Louisa read tho letter to the witness and told her Mr. Morriss had asked her to bo hip wife a little while before. The defendant did not toll the witness whother Morriss proposed verbally orbylotter. Tho two young women Btopped at Stapleton and found the octogenarian there. They staid somo time, but the witness did not talk to Morriss because he waa too old a man.

Louisa and he, however, seemed much interested in each other's sooiety. As they were on tho point of leaving. Louisa handed to Mr. MorriaB her sealed letter of refusal. Tho octogenarian soized her by the arm and drow her back and endeavored to kiss her, whereat tho witness felt scandalized and withdrew, but not too late to observe that Miss Emmons did not permit her venerable lover 'to embraoe her.

The lawyor asked Miss Brennan if she knew why Miss Emmons delivered her letter of rofnsal in person, instead of posting it in the usual way. She said she did not know. Mrs. Johanna Killeon, of Staten Island, whose husband iB a brother of Louisa Emmons mother, testified that sho had known tho deceased for twenty two years and hoard him always sneak in the kindliest terms regarding the Emmonies.

Henry 0. Hiscock From Troy Talk Over the Choice. The action of the Pulpit Supply Committee of tho Hanson Place Baptist Church at their meeting last evening in the calling of the Bev. Henry O. Hiscox, of Troy, N.

haB supplied abundant material for speculation, coming as it does directly after the accession to the denomination of the itev. Dr. Duncan MacGresor, tbi former pastor of th6 Carroll Park M. E. Church.

William J. Bichardsou, a member of tho Han sou Place Baptist Church, was seen this morning in reference to the meoting held last evening in tho lecture room of the at which th3 call waa made. Mr. Bichardsou said that the Pulpit' Supply Committeo had presente a unanimous report, commending the choice of Itev. Henry O.

Hiscox, of Troy, N. to nil the vacant pastorate. Ho added that, the expression of quite a number of members, opportnnity having been given to all present to speak on the Question of tho approval of the report, was heartily in favor of tho calling of the Bev. Mr. Hiscox, and tho action of tho church was unani mous thereon.

Whon asked whether Dr. Mac Gregor's name had been mentioned, he said it had not, and that ho did not believe Dr. Mae Gregor had had tho slightest idea of tho.possibil ity of a call from tlio Hanson Place Baptist Church boing extended to him. Dr. MacGregor had undoubtedly become a member of this particular church, and not of tho Strong Place Church, of which Dr.

N. E. Wood, who had baptised him, is the pastor, because, aa Mr. Richardson believed, ho did not want to disturb unneces sarily his former parishioners tho members of the Carroll Park M. E.

Church. Mr. Bichardsou farther said that the step was hard enough in itself for a minister to take without having it charged that he wus trying to secure a naatrol charso at the same time. He beliovod that a call from tho Hanson Place JJaptist Church, of which Dr. MacGrogor is now a member, would have been a most uufortunato thing to have hannened to him by reason of tho ad verse criticism to which ho would havo been subjected.

Among the oongro 'ation of tho Carroll parK Church the reasons for Dr. AlaoUrogor'a with drawal aro variou ly given, but no attempt is made to explain his change of creed. On the one side aro those who claim that since the former pastor. Bov. Dr.

McBrido, left the church the attendance has very materially fallen off. They contend that Dr. is a good, and elo quent proaclier, but that he is extremely lax the management of the church affairs and was given to make remarks from the pulpit whioU wero too severe upon tho congregation. On Docember 1 7 tho trustees of tho church met in con ference and decided that a change of past ors would bo beneficial; Learning of this action Dr. McGregor thon resigned.

Tha first vear of his pastorate ho was paid $1,300 and for the second aud third years $1,000, but during tho last year, owing to tho church running down, his salary was reduced to 11,200. Ho was not always paid punctually, bnt the money was forth coining as soon as it was gotten together. Tho church properly, which is estimated bo worth at nresent $43,000, is mortgaged for $12,000, and it is claimed that some $0,000 of this debt is duo to the alterations which Dr. alcGregor urged in the way of a congregation and choir gallery aud redecorating. Dr.

McGregor said: "I do not think it necessary for me to speak of this mittjr just aw, for it is better to have everything 'that I havo to say come out in. a connected way that it may be thoroughly understood. I am now hard at work upon my sermon for Sunday night, and iu it I shall endeavor to explain everything that may have a bearing upon tho snbject to whioh you refer. Till then I prefer to remain silent." THE EASTMAN VEUOICT. I Mareau Tbiiiks It a Poor Time for Tryinjr Sucli Cages.

Each one of these expressed his snr priee at the disagreement and naturally said ho cxoRctcd a verdict oi aoquittai. Mr.

Eastman could not be seen this morning, but hiB counsel, Mr. Marean, said he was much Trarprisod and disappointed at tho result. When asked if they wero roady for an immediate retrial Mr. Marean said: "I do not know how Mr. Eastman may feel, bnt as for myself I am hardly prepared to engage in a new trial immediately.

I have neglected my office business for the last ton days, and must now give it some attention. Aside from that I am now convinced that there is infection in tne air unfavorable to the acquittal of any one charged with offenses of this nature, it cornea and goes just like the grip or epidemics of that kind, and you can see that we are now suffering from such an epidemic Iu Now York, Jersey City, Newark, Bochostcr and other principal cities oharges aro being preferred againHt publio officials with more or less reason, and we suffer from them in a degree.

ENGS' SHARE. She Wanls 8156.000 From Her Lato HaHband's BumIucm. The widow of Goorge Engs, a rich wholesale liquor dealer who died in September, 1886, today applied to Surrogate Abbott to revoke the decree under which sho had agreed to accept $107,000 as her share of her husband's busi ness. P. W.

Engs was. tho founder of the firm. When he died tho business was carried on by his sons. Samuel and George Engs. On George's death his estate was put into the hands of Samuel F.

Engs, Lonia Hurst and Edward Snvder as executors. In September, 1887, Hurs represented to Mrs. Engs that her interest was worth $107,000, and she must either accept that amount or go to law. She accepted the amount named and consented to the discharge of the executors. Afterward, in another pro 'ceeding, as she alleges, she obtained access to the firm's books and learned, for tbe first time.

that her share was really worth $156,000. On the other hand, Executor Hurst to day assured the Surrogate that Mrs. Engs got all she was entitled to, as it waa necessary to put more money in the business after George Engs died.

H. Defoliant Also Tries Pistol Praotlce on Ex Commissioner Williams. Long Island City waa stirred up last night by two tragio occurrences, and for hours the greatest exoltoment prevailed in the vicinity of Millet's Hotel and the Thirty rourth Street FerryT Edward D. Monlton, superintendent of tho Stein way system of horse railroads, was shot while standing on tho sidewalk in front of Coroner Robinson's hotel by John Bonan, a horse oar driver residing at 147 West Forty seventh street. New York City.

Moulton's back was turned when tho shot was fired and tho hall entered his body at tho loft shoulder blade and lodged four inolies from tho spinal column. Monlton reeled and fell heavily to the sidewalk and Bonan aimed the weapon at him and was about to fire a second shot when Captain Woods and Sergeant Roulette, who were near by.pounced upon him.tneir euros arawn. and saved Moulton from further perforation. Monlton was taken to his home. 112 Lexington avenue, Now York, in a coach.

Dr. Hartley does not consider that his life is endangered by tho wound. Before coming to Long Island City Moulton was an assistant superintendent on the. Fourth avenue horso car line, having been advanced from a conductorahip for services ren dered to the company during a strike, ltonan nnnrt to be a driver on Moulton's oar, and they wero friends at the time, but as soon as Moulton hnnamfl a man of authority Bonan claims mat a cooluoss was manifested toward him by the former and he was summarily disoharged. Bonan says that Monlton accused him of inciting the strike, but for which he might never have become an assistant superintendent.

Bonan saya ho was in no way responsible for it, but moulton wnnld not bolievo him. aud ever since has lost no opportnnity to poraecnte him, having hira discharged from several situation. Bonan says he went to Long Island City to pioad with Monlton for a cessation or ollensive nos tilities, and upon Bpealsing to Monlton he rosponded with a curse aud turued aud walked away. This angored Bonan and, losing his temper, ho drew the revolvor, a new one, and began firing. If the polico hart not oeen on nana ne undoubtedly have killed Moulton.

The superintendent demos that ho ever persecuted Bonau. Ho disoharged him, he says, for drunkenness, and his intemperance has been tho cause of hiB losing every job he ever had. This niorn intr Monlton's condition was encouraging ana aq attempt will be made this afternoon to extraot tho ball.

ana Brnoklvn were preBont, and engaged Matthew Marx and Solomon B. Noble aa counsel for Bonau. Whon asked to plead, the prisoner began to mako a statement, saying: "Monlton drove mo to it. Ho killed my boy." His counsel interfered and told him to say nothing, but he con fimiod: "I might as well say it now. 1 could ror rvthinc but killing my boy." Bonan was remanded until Anril 3, ahd was committed to tho county jail without bail.

I.esa than au hour af er tho above tragedy oc curred the former superintendent of tlie Stein wav Railroad, William Delahanty, attempted to shoot William H. William. in Miller's Hotol. Delahanty was at one time president of the Board of Aldermen of Loug bland City and Mayor Glea son's bitterest enemy. Williams ia a director of tho Stoiuway and Hunter's Point Bailroad Company, a stirring business man and a brotner or roiice Inspector Williams, of Now York.

The men have always been chums. When Delahanty was bounced from his position on tho railroad for neglect of duty he bought out the wood and coal business of Therou H. Burden at Winfiold, giving his notes with Williams as an indorsor. The notoa failing due in March wero not honored by JJeia lmntv and Burden called upon Williams to settle. Ho airrfied with Dolahunty to take tliocaal yard off his handa and they met at Miller's Hotol to perfect the transfer.

Corporation Counsel tos ler. attorney for Williams, had the papers ready and after they had been signed William stepped up to the cigar counter to draw a check for $400 to pay Delahanty for his equity in the business. Williams had juat written the name, William Delahanty, on the order lino of the check, when he heard Counsolor Foster cry out, "Look out, there," and heard a scuffle, ueiananty uau nia revolver drawn, cocked and leveled at imams, when the Corporation Counsel Btruck him a atag goring blow with ono hand and with tho other hand knocked tho rovolvor up in tho air and it lauded on the floor behind tho bar. Delahanty was promptly locked up, but lato tho evening he was taken before Juslico Kavanagh aud paroled until this morning. His friends say that roverses in business have broke him down drinking habita have unsettled his mind.

It is not likely that Williams will prosecute nun. Delohantv was arranged this morning, but, no complainant appearing, he waB paroled in cuBtody of his counsel until to morrow. THE CONSENTS COME IIAKO. Cypres Avcime Kcuidentu WHO want tlie Elevnted Koad Extension. A committee', 'representing the Twenty sixth Ward Beal Estate Exchange, consisting of Messrs.

Dobbins, Pettit and Bridges, and a committee from the East End Improvement Associa tion, consisting of Mossrs. Schmitz, Molloy and Hart, had a conference with President TJhlman and several of tho directora of the Brooklyn and Union Elevated roads at tho office in Sands street this morning, tho object of the oommitteos being to induce tho railroad people to modify tho form of the consent that tho residents of the chartered routo of the company, which if built upon, would extend its old Lexington ayenno Hue to Cypress avenuo, have beon naked to sign. The signatures havo been sought through the efforts of enterprising residents of the section the road would traverse. Tho form of consent the company wants filled out is an ironolad documont prescribing that the signers shall give up all claim to their easement in front of thoir premises and will not prosecute any claim for damages. A number of consents havo, how over, beon obtained.

Tho committee to facilitate the ourolling of further signatures this morning asked that a leHS exaoting form of contract in the way of a consent bo put in their hands for circulation among the non signers. While the railroad officials refused to grant this, they compromised by agreeing to build the road over the route in question if the committee should succeed in securing consents from the owners of 80 per cent, of the abutting property instead of the consents of all the owners, the basis upon which the consent getting was originally instituted. They agreed also to complete the construction to tho city line within six months after the signatures aro obtained. HOWELL IS NOT POSTED. The Bridge President on Senator Jacobs' BUI.

A reporter oalled upon Bridge President Howell to day to ascertain his opinion regarding the hill introduced in Albany yesterday by Senator Jacobs relative to proposed terminal ohanges of the bridge, a draf of which was published in yesterday's Eaole. President Howell said that tho introduction of the bill by Senator Jacobs waa a big surprise to him, bb well as the other trustees of the bridge. Did you not know that Buoh a bill had been prepared asked the reporter. I most certainly did not," said President Howell. "I knew absolutely nothing about the matter until I saw a copy of the bill in yesterday's paper." What do you think of tho bill 1" "Well," said Mr.

Howell "I don't understand it at all. So far as I oan see it gives us no more operating room thau we already have, hut rather rcstriots it. Tho bill of 1887 gave us the privilege of going as far south for bridge purposes as tho north line of Concord streot and did not restrict us at all in an easterly direction, while thia bill stops ua at Adams street The other provisions of the bill do not, so far as I can now determine, benefit us in any way or give us anything that we are not already in possession of." Prosidont Howell preferred not to discuss the matter further until he had seen a draft of the bill, for whioh ho had Bent to Senator Jacobs. CALLED A PASTOR.

He IB a young man of winning personality and a considerable reputation for pulpit oloquenoe.

Mr. MoDairmid will proach at the Tabernaole next Sunday. Mr, Georgo Forrester, who ia a prominent member of the congregation, whon asked this morning if tho new prstor would take charge at once, said: "That question I oannot answer, but there seems to be but little doubt that Mr. HcDairnud will receive the oalL He is, 1 think, an able man and well fitted to take the pastorship of our ohurch. Ho is young, active and devoted to the work of Christ.

The Tabernaole Baptist Churoh has been so long without a pastor that I am sin cerely glad that it will soon have one again. A ohuroh without a regular pastor ia like a flock without a shepherd." A DISHONEST FAB IIAKO. Frank Zimmer, an employe of Farmer Stephen L. Decker, of Jamaica and Vermont avenues, last Docember, was given $12 by hia employer to purchase a load of cattle feed.

The report recommends that all electrio wires be placed underground in cities containing more than one hundred and twenty five thousand of population. Mr. Erwin said tho committee intended to prepare a bill dirocting that electric light wires be buried as suggested in the report. After the re port was road; Mr.

Erwin moved that it be adopted and printed. Senator Jacobs exclaimed "It seems to mo that it would bo an extraordinary proceeding to adopt a report of this important character without first putting it in print. I would like to see tho report printed before it is adopted." Mr. Erwin adopted the eug geation made, and the report was made a special order for Thursday next.

Mysterions rumors are afloat concerning the case of Mrs. Laura C. Rogers, who died by asphyxiation by illuminating gaa last Sunday morning inhorhomo, at 341 Lenox avenue, Now York. The case was reported to Coroner Schultzo at his house tho same day, but the Coroner only turned in the paperB to tho office tho following day, wherefore it missed the New York reporters, and haB, therefore, not yet appeared iu print. Tho papers hear the teatimouiea of Lebbeus H.

Sogers, husband of tho deceased, a stationer doing business at 75 Maidon lane, and Dr. A. R. Carman, the former to tho effoctthat he returned homo Snnday ninht about 12 o'clock from church and detected a strong smell of pas in the house. He immediately made an examination and found his wifo lying uucpnscioUB in her bed.

Medical aid was the testimony goes on to say, but sho died at 4 o'clock the following morning. Dr. Carman testified that it was a case of accidental asphyxiation by gas in his opinion. T1ip minora, however, that arc circulating are contrary to this opinion. They are to tho effect that Mr.

Rogers recently gave notes for a large amount, indorsed by his wife, who was reputed to be worth about $300,000 in her own right, to a Pennsylvania man for tho purpose of carrying out an oil scheme in Pennsylvania, which he had proposed to him. Tho man went to Pennsylvania ostensibly to invest tho money on the common understanding, but instead squandered it iu some wild cat Bchonio or other. Tho partioB among whom the rumorB circulate do not themselves draw any inferences from the above quoted facts as to whether Mrs. RogorB' donth as a case of suicide on account of the toss of her money. Tho story of her death, moreover, they tell difforently from her husband's testimony.

They say that the couple slept in different apartments, and that at about 3 o'clock Monday morning ho was awakened by the cries of his children and went into his wife's bedroom. She was not in the bed, but her clothes were around the room just as she might have disposed of them on disrobing. Tho servants were awakened and a search instituted. Finally they found her iu a large closet in which she kept her fine dresses. Sho lay face downward on tho shelf running the length of tho closet with the gas jet, which was about two feet under her nose, turned on full.

She was already dead when found. How she got on the Bholf, Mr. Rogers is reported as having said, is a mystery to him, as it ia nine feet from tho floor and even an athlete would havo found it a difficult feat even though he used a chair. Tho door morever was firmly closed and had a pillow jammed against tho crack from thejinaidc. A private sorrico was held yesterday at the house and tho body removed to day to the former home of tho deceased in Cmcinnati, 0.

A large delegation of ropemakers from all over the country, but particularly representing Brooklyn and Philadelphia, appeared before the Ways and Means Committee this morning and protested vigorously against the proposed increase of duty on raw hemp and other ropo fibers. They attacked the McKiuloy idea of protecting the, farmers by showing that no protection in this instance was asked, that few would get any benefit out of the tax, as littlo or no hemp was raised in this country, while tho tax would seriously in jnre tho manufacturers, who had large capital invested and whose interests were certainly superior to others in this instance This protest in a sample of what tho Republican membors aro getting every day from the men who furnished tho sinews for the last campaign. The ropemakers were pretty thoroughly "fried for fat" Summer before last, and they demand that promises be kept Otherwise there will be fewer funds for the support of Republican Congressional candidates next Fall. THE NEW POST OFFICE ADDITION. Special to the Eagle.

Washington, D. 0., March 27. The House Committeo on Publio Buildings has decided in favor of the hill to permit tho erection of the addition to tho Brooklyn Post Office. The biU will be bo amended, however, as to limit the proposed addition to one Btory in height, which, however, is all that is desired. The bill will go through both Houses with a rush, and the Treasury Department will probably be able to advertise the contract in a few veeks.

DAVID DOffS CKlTICALIiX ILL.

IN A BIG TRUST. The Local White Lead Companies Consolidate.

All tho Stock Exchanged for Certificates in the National Lead and Oil Company. A Bis Deal Openly Made. There has been hustling in the ranks of the National White Lead Trust stockholders all the morning. This is the eventful day set for the exchange of their stock in tho six local white lead manufacturing companies for the stock of the new National Lead and Oil Company, and as there were six local stockholders' meetings to be attended by substantially the Bamo sot of stockholders, the work waa rapid. The stock of tho local companies is all hold by the trustees of tho National Lead Trust.

They began operations at 0:30, at the office of the Bradley Whito Lead Compauy, 174 Front street, Brooklyn, where they voted successively to exchanzo the stock of tho Bradley Whito Lead Company, the Brooklyn White Lead Company, the Lenox Smelting Company, for the same amount of the stock of tho National Lead and Oil Company, and the three Brooklyn companies were wiped out of legal existence in the twinkling of an eye. Then the stockholders hurried to. tho Jow ett White Load Company, office 28 Burling slip. Now York, and oxohanged that company'B stock for stock of the new company. Tho operation occupied fifteen minutes or Iobb.

The next meeting was 163 Front street, New York, where the stock of tho UuionWhite Load Company and tho Ulster Load Company were duly exchanged. By noon tho new National Load and Oil Company, whose capital stock is $1,000,000, and which ia organized under chapter 307 of the Laws or tho State of New York, a statute specially liberal toward corporations, was inposBessiou of the plants and property of the six local companies which form the backbone of the Nationul Lead trust. Tlio object of the consolidation, as explained by Colonel W. P. Thompson, president of tlie Lead truat, is to further facilitate the business of making lead for tho lowest possiblo and selling it at the highest possible price.

Competition is to be absolutely eliminated. Ono set of salesmen will cover the territory which in the old days UBed to be covered by six, and iu place of Bix boards of salaried officers there will be one. As the business of the new company is to be big, however, and as some of the officers objected to relinquishing their salaries, the new Board of Officers will bo a double decked affair, with ono president, two vico presidents, a secretary and assistant secretary, treasurer and aBsiBtant treasurer, all on salaries commensurate with the magnitude of their positions. The local factories are to bo run Just as they have been heretofore. Tho directors of tho National Lead and Oil Company will be elected in a few days and those directors will elect the salaried officers on April 7.

Among tho stockholders who wero pie Bent at to day's meotiugs woro Stephen R.Bradley, Sheldon Leavitt, John J. Bteenkon, of SVaBhing ton Park; B. P. Rowe, secretary of the three Brooklyn companies: John' A. Stevens, secretary of tho Jowett CoinpJhy, aud B.

C. Webster. President Thompson, of the lead trust, said that the object iu the formation of tho new company was to conduct their operations within the sanction of the law aud, at the same time, with the least possible friction and the greatest economy, as the modern business method) make imperative. An outsider, familiar with the operation of tho lead and other trusts, said that the economy and consolidation aimed at could all be effected with the machinery of the present lead trust, and that tho bringing into existence of a duplicate set of machinery to reach the same result was probably preparation on tho part of the trust to turn its business over to tho new corporation in case tho courts should hamper tlio operation of the trujt in its present form, as has beon done with the sugar trust. BELLRINGERS ONLY IN NAME.

Some Firemen Who Arc Not in tbe Competitive List. Mayor Chepin has had a conference with Firo Commissioner Ennia as to tho advisability of having the positions of captain of the fireboat and bell ringers put in tho competitive list. They aro now non competitive. Tho Civil List shows that there are eleven boll ringers. As a matter of fact there are but four men doing duty as beU ringers aud they are employed at the Fourteenth Ward tower.

That is the only tower maintained. The City Hall bell is rung by electricity from the Jay street headquarters. The remaining seven men clasBed as bell ringers are doing duty bb firemen with various companies. When tho old tower Bystem of giving alarms was abolished these men woro to have been dismissed. One of them was dismissed, but tbe courts reinstated him.

Thus it was that the men havo been retained. As there was nothing else for thom to do Commissioner Ennis assigned them to regular fire duty, and they draw $1,000 a year each. The position of captain of tho fire boat is an important one. It is held by James Delaney, who has been iu tho service of the Department since 1888. HiB salary is 51,500 a year.

Commissioner Ennia does not appear to be inclined to have these places put on the competitive Hat. He thinks whenever a vacancy occurB he caivfill it Just as well as, if not better than, the Civil Service Commission. The politicians are opposed to the change, becauso it would add an element of uncertainty to the filling of the vacancies. That is to gay, tho names would have to be taken from the eligible lists. An effort was made to havo Mayor Chapin talk upon tho subject, but his Honor would not un bend.

"Oh, there's nothing to be Baid about Baid he loitily. And ho wouldn't even admit that he had communicated with Commissioner EnniB. DENTIST COOPER IiEFT TOWK. Dr. Gustavus B.

Cooper, the dentist of 382 Clermont avenue, ib said to have left Brooklyn. In the Adams streot court tnis morning Publio Administrator William B. Davenport applied for a dispossess warrant, alleging that $100 was duo for Cooper's rent. Since tho let of May, 1887, the houso has been leased at a monthly rental of $60, payable in ad vance. Notice was served upon Mrs.

Coopor on the 10th inst The doctor eould not then be found. Mrs. Cooper was not at home this morning, neither was the doctor, said the woman who answered the doorbell. "I undarstand that Dr. Cooper has left town Mrs.

Cooper doesn't take interest enough in him now to inquire where he is. He has not been here for several nays." THE SEEDS OF TilK NAYY YARD. Special to the Eagle. Washington, D. March 27.

Commodore Farquhar, chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, returned from hiB inspection of tho Brooklyn Yard this morning. Ho says he is pleasod with the general condition of the station but that it ib shameful that Congress docs not al low a sufficient Bum to repair and maintain tho buildings and plant. He thinks less money might be profitably appropriated for improvements and more to take care of what is already on the gronnd. He is confident that the new dry dook will be formally opened by June 1 and that the contract for removing tho stone wall at the entrance of the dock will be completed on time.
