Talmage. An Address to the Uueits. A reception was given bv Mr. and MrH. John Talmago on Friday evening at their rosidenCOj 15 South Portland avenue.

Tim occasion was of more than ordinary interest 1 it was the twenty fifth anniversary of the wedding day of the host and hostOBS. This fact was unannounced and many of the guests learned oi it lhst on entering tho drawineroom in which was tho suggestive lloral emblem "1805 ihoo." Mrs. Talmage, who was dressed in silver gray silk, trimmed elaboratoly with silver point luce and diamonds, was assisted by hor bridesmaid, MUs Nogua; hor daughter. Miss Bessie Talmage, and Miss Thompson, of Pittsburg. Tho house was beautifully decorated by Weir and an elaborate Biippor served byMarosi.

Many gifts in Bilver aud out glass were presented by relatives and the moro intimato friends. An interesting episodo occurred iu the midst of the evening, Rev. Dr. Talmage, who unitod tho couplo iu marriage, calling on them to join hands and rj v'inhlt'd their troth, and, addressing them and the spoko substantially as follows: Twenty live years ago to i.v, on tho banks of the Raman, I asked John V. Talmage and Belle Van Sycltle to join their right hands in plcdgo of holy matrimony, and now that the (diver wedding ban come, I ask these persons to present thein Belves and join their right hands again.

It has bton a characteristic of the Talmago family, to which many of us belong, that those who take the conjugal oath keep it, aud that nothing but. death docs them part. I never heard and you never heard of a Talmage divorce case. Wo are careful whom we select and accept itito lifetime copartnership. The or.in'o bloHnoms koep their fragrance until tlio calla lilies aro BOt on the funeral casket.

But all this is no especial credit to tho, Talmages now alive. Wo came of Christian ancewtry, and were taught from childhood to adopt the theories of an old cIrbbio which presents marriage as asocial relationship to be entered with honorable motives and with no idea of retreat. After twenty five years of fidelity you again join hands. Tlio groups of relatives assembled then and the groups of relatives assembled now are different. New frienda are here, but a whole generation lias gono.

Somo of those who cheered as the carriage rolled off with the bride and groom, are not hero to cheer at your arrival at the twenty milestone of joint pilgrimage. They have gone in to the mar riage supper of the Lamb. There aro always tears at the first wedding, and there are apt to be some tears at a Bilver wodding. But the gay and jubilant notes must be dominant on both occasions. So we are here assembled in congratulatory mood, to wiBh for you that the rest of the journey may be as happy as the twenty five miles already gono over.

At the lirst wodding, when wo went down the front tdeps of tho old homestead, in accordance witii the established custom we threw shoes and nee after you. Wo do not repeat that at this wedding, because wo may need our shoes for our own feet before wo get through the journey of life, and as to tho rice you see so much of it every day in your own business that tho ceremony would have no ini prossivencfis. But at this silver wedding, as at the lirst wedding, all the peonl ara permitted to kiss tho bride on one condition, and that ia that they watt until tho has time to set them the example.

They were taking tho pennies, finger rings and such valuables which the first three possessed, when they wero interrupted in their work by the arrival of Officor Murphy, of tho First Precinct. The little highwaymen took to their heela and the officer got but two of them, the recognized leaders of the gang, John Dooley, of 11 1 John street, and Owen Riley, of 277 Gold street.

Two charming amateur entertainments have been given this week at Mrs. Robert Goodwin's school. 154 Monta street, one of tho leading private schools on the Hoights. Tho entertainments were given for the benefit of tho nursery connected with St. Ann's Church, and realized about $100 for that charity, tho school parlors being crowded on both evenings.

The participants were the pupils of Mrs. Goodwin's school, and tho programmes consisted of brief German and English plays suitable for parlor representation by young ladies, interspersed with songs by Miss E. Koehen, an agreeable parlor singer. On Wednesday evening a German charade, Gluckwuusch," in three sceues, was given by the youngest nupila, who spoke their Germau with a readiness and accuracy that delighted thoir parents and friends. Tho performers wero Misses Beatrice Weaver, Laura Hubbard, Else Rodman, Agnes Goodwin, Ruth Putnam and Mabel Vail.

ThiB waa followed by a bright littlo comedy in English, "My Aunt's founded 011 the Jdea that drcsB does not make the woman, or that appearances are deceitful. Miss Lucie Rouyon carried off tho honors as Mrs. John Smith, but all the young ladies acted with spirit. The performance moved without a break, and tlio sisters in their white ball dresses made a pretty picture in the closing scene. The cast waa as follows: Mra.

John Smith, Miss Lucie Rouyon; Anna Maria, Miss Hattie Putnam; Jemima, Miss Lolita Gill; Sophia, Miss Clara Rtimer; Arabella, Miss Mabel Vail; Matilda.jMiss Emma Burrows; Clementina and Jane, littlo children, Miss Beatrice Weaver and Misb Jennetto Tilney; Mrs. Alexander Delourey Smith, Miss Anna Weddigon; Betsey Brown, Miss Lulu Button; Sippets (sorvant to Mrs. John Smith), Miss Gertrude Lacklan. tho Gorman play last evoniug waa "Kleid er machen leute das kleid macl.t nicht den maun and tho young ladies who took part in it were Misses Alice Sprague, Madge Miller, Gertrude Lacklan, Isabella Martin and Clara Packard. The EngliBh play was "Lina and The scene was laid in a Swiss chalot, and picturesque touches wero added to the porforauco by tho uso of special Swiss scenery and authentic Swiss cos tiiiuos to set off the beauty of the perfor mors.

The graceful mannera, good voices aud careful pronunciation were notable points in both the plays. Tho cast of "Lina and Gertrude" was as follows: Lady Staunton, Miss Edith SniYcley; Dame Schcffner, Miss Helen Hunt Johnson; Lina (her daughter), Miss Daisy Tliorno; Damo Bertha, MisB Hattie Putnam; Gertrude (a young peasant girl), Miss Faithy Matthowson: Chatter (Lady Staunton's maid), Miss Serena Eylaml, aud peasant girls by members of the school. DIED FROM FRIGHT. The I. ad Who Witnessed the Show at the timely Theater.

County rhysician A. W. Shepard held an autopsy this morning 011 tho body of Thomas Gnil foyle, the 12 year old boy who attended the performance at the Gaiety Theater on Tuesday night and died in convulsions on Thursday morning. Dr. Shepard's verdict was that death was duo to congestion of tho brain.

There is 110 doubt that the boy died from fright, as Coroner Rooney Baid this morning. It appears that the proprietors of the theater aro criminally liable, as Section 21(0 of the Penal Code reads A person who admits or allows to remain in any place of entertainment, injurious to health or morals, any child, actually or apparently under the age of Bixteen years, unless accompanied by its parents or guardian, is guilty of a misdemeanor. That law is evidently a dead letter, aa it waa passed in 1884, and no conviction has ever been had nnder its ruling. Coroner Rooncy will hold an inquest this afternoon and will recommend to the jury that some legislation be effected as soon as possible preventing children under the age of 14 years being admitted to any thoater unless properly protected.

GoYOrumoHt Ohoialat1" Adr, Easter Offering's Paid the Mortsrag on AH Saints'. Eastor, 1890; was a joyous and momorablo day in tho history of All Saiuts' Church, Sovonth Btreet and Seventh avenue, of which Rev. Mol villo Boyd is tho rector, as through tho Eastor offerings of the church and Sunday school tho vestry has boon enabled to cancel and pay off tho entiro mortgage indobtedtioss on tho church property. Tho mortgages woro duly canceled of record yesterday, and tho church property ia now froo of all debt. On December 11, 3 880, tho rector laid before tho vestry a proposition to mako a special appeal to the communicants of the church to pay off the mortgago debt, amounting to $0,000, as an Eastor offering, taking this as a special lenton work, a mortgago for $1,000 having boen paid off tho previous January, the vestry, by resolution, adopted tho proposition and authorized the rector to make such an appeal aud to issuo subscription books for the purpose.

Tho oxtra work involved in tho preparation of the 500 subscription books with a letter to each communicant, and tho other work of record keeping, was a severe strain upon Mr. Boyd, and ou tho Thursday evening beforo Eastor, after conducting tho communion Borvico, ho was confined to his room by the illness that resulted. He has boon unablo to resume his duties Binco, only boing ablo to appoar at tho morning sorvico on Easter. The Easter offering of tho church was a littlo over $2,000, and that of the Sunday school $4,553.97, including $3,000, the amount of a mortgago held by Mary Dent Callahan and presented her "in memory of Robert Dent and his devotion to the welfare of All Saints' Church and Sunday Mr. Dent was a former junior warden of the church and connected with it aud the Sunday school from its organization to his death.

NOT ALL PEACE. A Fight in the Third Ward Over Census Enumerators. Supervisor Robert B.

Seilswick Already Exnerieiicinsr the Erils or Patronasrc. The Second Avcuite Extension Bill. General Republican Gossip. Superintendent of Census Robert B. Sedgwick is beginning to feel the power of patronage to make trouble.

In the Third Ward there is a groat deal of complaint because the president of tlio association, Thomas Woods, has boen given the right by Mr. Sedgwick to appoint the enumerators in the ward. Tho opposition to Mr. Woods is a Htroug one, and it ia said that its members intend to demand from Sedgwick that they select half of tho enumerators. Should he accede to this demand the opposition would be greatly strengthened.

As matters now stand in tho Third Ward thoro is ovory indication of a hot fight between tho factions next Fall. Michaol J. Dady, who recently moved into the ward, has been tendered tho leadership of the faction and he means, it is said, to make as vigorous light as lie may. The objection to tho manner in which tho census enumerators are to be appointed, some say, is really made so that tho anti Wood Hirsh faction can display its Btrength. Mr.

Sodgwick baa not receivod the necessary stationery from Washington yet, although ho has quarters provided for it at 44 Court street. He has not mado any appointments of enumerators outside of the city. The rural leaders, however, will expect to be treated as wero tho city politicians and Sidgwick'a friends express the fear that country politicians will not be careful to appoint men boeause of their capacity, but will reward partisanship. This is one of the reasons why Mr. Sedgwick is moving slowly.

A mighty effort will be mado in tlio Assembly next week to pass the Second Avenue Extension bill. Assemblyman Knrth, however, will, he says, oppose it, because it does not repeal Any of tho existing laws by which certain property owners havo title to all parts of the proposed avenue. He will probably ask that the bill be recommitted to tho Committee on Cities for tho purpose of revision and amendment. Should it be sent back to the Cities Committee it ia not likely that it will get out of the committee as quickly as it did in the first instance. Tho Republicans of Flatlanda have, it is said, a rod in pickle for Richard L.

Baisley, who successfully fought against the bill permitting the people of the town to exact a liceuse fee from hackmon. venders and others who, under the existing condition of things, arc enabled to compete with the residents of tho town. Mr. Baisley, it is said, opposed tho bill because ho could not have the office of inspector of hacks created. TO HELP TUE PEOPLE'S DISPEXSARY.

Ho said that ho had ex amiued moro particularly tho Equitable Bank affairB. Ho admitted that all the banks, Sixth National, Lenox Hill, woro concor nod, and said that ox Governor Cornell waB connected through tho Sixth National with the others. Ho, as bank examiner, had nothing to say. Ho had mado his report in detail to Bank Superintendent Preston and that official would give all necessary information.

SHE SAVED HIM. Why Justice Goetting Did Wot Punish a Culprit.

Geonro Vi. Hall Convicted of Theft and Sentenced, hut His Young Wife Excites the Court's Compassion aud Sucnres His Release A Secret Marriasre Disclosed. Jacob Ruegg, of 45a Broadway, informed Officer Seullen, of tihe Bodford avenno station, early last evening that a follow boarder named Georgo W. Hall had stolen a pair of trousers, valued at a fow dollars, from him tho previous day, and he had Just recovered them at a second hand storo on Maujer street, whore they had been Bold for 50 cents. Tho officer promptly placed Hall, who is 21 years old, under arrest.

Ho denied at first at the station having taken the garment, but when informed that another boarder, Georgo Guthbort, aged 31 years, had procured tho ovidenco against him, told the story of the theft to Sergeant. George W. Bmice, who was at the deBk. "It is true I took the trousers," ho said, "but I waa put up to do it by Guthbert, who claims to be a special officer. He wanted mo to tako a coat belonging to Ittiegs also, but I refused to do so.

Guthbert went with me to the storo on Manjor street, and we sold the trousers for 50 cents. We went to a saloon and had two beers, which cost 10 cents, and then we divided the 40 cents evenly and walked around town to see the eights. I would not have stolen the trousers but for Guthbert." Mr. Rucgg said: "When I mentioned about my trousers being stolen Guthbert put on his badge as a special ofiicer and said that ho would try and find them for mo, He took mo in the afternoon to all the pawnshops around the Eastern District and looked over tho books, but wo failed to find tho garment. Guthbert then said on our way homo that ho would try the second hand place on Maujer street.

We found tho trousers there and I paid 50 cents and got thorn. I found out from the description of the man who sold them that it was Hall." Sergeant Bunce remembered Guthbert as having been a special officer up to last May. The fellow when askod to surrender his shield Baid that ho had lost it. Tho sergeant had never heard of his being reappointed. Officer Sculleu lost no time in hunting up Guthbert.

When searched at the station the missing shield was found on him. When questioned ho stated that ho had been reappointed and was at tached to the Leo avenue station. Sergeant Bunce telephoned to Captain Gorman and was told that there waa no special namod Guthbort assigned to that station. The prisoner, who is 31 years old, was then locked up. Before Justico Gootting Hall pleaded guilty, but tho special officer pleaded not guilty, and created much surprise by assorting that ho had nevor boon arrested before.

Justice Goetting awarded tho special officer six months in tho Penitentiary and Hall twenty nine days in jail. Hardly, however, had tho sentences been pronounced when a preposessing young Irish woman presented herself before the justico and pleaded a remission of Hall's sentence, stating that she was his steady company. The justice asked her if alio knew what ho had been arrested for and if knowing it, she was still willing to keep company with him, and bowing her head she aiiBwerod, I am." She gave her namo as Maggie Duffy. Later Hall admitted that his real name was GuyLingham and that he and Miss Duffy were married in December last by Rev. Sylvester Malone.

On boing asked why Bhe had not admitted her marriage tho young woman stated that her mother, who was opposed to the match, was as yet unaware of it. After some minutes' deliberation the justice re scinded Lingham's Bentence and suspended Judg ment in hiB caBe. FIRE FIENDS AT WORK. Attempt to Hum up Tenement Containing Twenty Finnilicx.

General Sickles Testifies Before the Electrical Commission. He Kfckctl Agraiifst Charges and Has Since Been Left Alonfi Clicap Liirht for the Old Warrior Govcriimmit Control Advocated in the Supply of Gaslight.

The New York Legislative Committee on General Laws, authorized to investigate the methods of electrical, gas and subway corporations in New York, resume i its at the Hotel Met ropolo this morning. (Sheriff Sickles was pro sent. After the committee had been rapped to i order he was called to tho atami. lie was informed of the committees purposes, and asked to relate anything he know pertaining to the subject, lie said he had noticed that there was a great waste of gas in this city, owing to imperfect pipes, and that tho consumers wero compelled to pay for it. lie described how ho was charged for gas that had never been consumed.

He and his family wore away during a Summer, but his hills were the same. He had protested without result and stopped paying gas bills. The company sought to cut him off, but ho enjoined them from doing so and went into court. He won the suit and hasn't paid any bills since then. Ho impeached the gas meter and know of many leakages in the streets.

These leakages are a nuisance, he said, dangerous to health. He would suggest as a remedy that the companies violating the law be held responsible Just as any individual citizen would he. Ho favored a Board of Supervision under State control to regulate tho operations of gas companies. In Europe municipal and State control of the gas companies resulted in the protection of the pub lie's interest. He described his action in conducting the gas company of Charleston, S.

(luring the war. Ho took charge of it in the name of the National Government and reduced the cost of gas to tho consumer and gave a better quality. He thought that tho cost of gas in New York and Brooklyn is a great deal too much and that it should be reduced, The appointment of a State Commissioner of gas, he believed, would result in many benefits to the public. "How do you like ytmr new office, General asked Chairman Erwin, as the sheriff left the stand. "Oh, I'm trying to be replied the general, as ho went away.

Adolph A. Kniulson, an expert in electrical railways, was the next witness. He told the committee there is no danger from the Trally system. He knew more about that than any other. Some people had of course been injured by accidents on these roads, but not as many as have been by horse cars.

The electrical current is introduced into the car, he said, by a wire strung overhead. The next witness was I). Lowber Smith, ex Com missioner of Public Works. He said that gas companies and other companies maintaining sub structures put down their pipes, sewers and subways as they pleased, and that there was not at the time he was in otliee nor at present any city officer authorized to supervise tho laying of pipes. He thought there should be, however, and was confident it would remedy many evils existing at present.

Chairman Erwin asked him if he thought tho Government should furnish gas as it did water. He replied in the affirmative. Such a control would result in at least a better quality of gas at a cheaper rate. The witness said that in Madison avenue alone there are four gas mains. This is important he paid, as showing the extent to which the privileges accorded the gas companies had boon abused by thorn.

If the city controlled the gas supply there would only be one. He would suggest no better remedy than government control. He was not prepared to speak upon the question of eokeages. lie said that the same things complained of in New York prevailed in Brooklyn. Horace 1).

Loomis. engineer in charge of sewers of the Board of Public Works, stated that there is absolutely no control over the operations of tho gas companies. They do just as they pleaso in that respect. There is no remedy at present. Government, or at least partial government control, was necessary to the public weal.

News reached him that the Supreme Court of New York had affirmed the judgment of the lower court and he returned and served his term in prison. PRESIDENT HOWELL ON THE BHIDUE KILLS. President Howell, of the Brooklyn Bridge, said this morning that the fact of both the Jacobs and Birkett Bridge bills being reported favorably from the committee at Albany would complicate matters badly in the contemplated bridge improvements.

He thought, however, that everything would be adjusted so they would have no trouble in tho end. Ho further said that ho would have a conference with Bridge Counsel Dykman Hub afternoon, and if he thought it advisable ho would have him go to Albany to look after the interests of tho amended bill presented by Senator Jacobs.

Iloynl Halting Powder Absolutely Pure HigtiMt in LMTtnUK Powor U.S. Got, AdT That Point of Law in Favor of McCalla. Tho Court Martial Holds That Thoro is Such a Thing as "Conduct Unbecoming: an Officer How tlio Threatened Apprentice Myers. Tho first order of Rear Admiral Harmony, president of the McCalla Court Martial at the Navy Yard this morning, after the minutes of yesterday's session had boon road, was to clear the court.

This win done for tho purpose of permitting the members to formulate their decision upon tho objoction raised by Commander Mc Calla's counsel yesterday to the hearing of any testimony on the particular chargo against the accused of "conduct unbecoming an officer," BtipDort of which the case of McCulla's threatening Apprentice Myora with his sword and using profane languago as specified. Counsel held that there was no such offense aa "conduct unbecoming an ofiicer" specified the articles for the goverment of the navy and, further, tho specifications under tho chargo were based upon a different soction of the law from that on which tho Government presumably based the general charge, whereas the chargo and tho specification must bo of a different kind and kindred, or the charge tails. Joseph N. Choato was on hand for the first timo since tho opening day of the trial to backup his colleague on points of law. When the court announce that tho objection of the accused was overruled, the two lawyers laid their heads together and finally entered a 'motion to strike from the record the testimony of Apprentice Myers and of Private of Marines Brandon, whoso testimony as to the Myers episode called out tho objection above described.

The ruling of the court was tho namo as before ami an exception was noted. Thou the court proceeded with the. testimony of private Brandon. Tho witness was the man who brought McCalla his sword on tho. occasion when he threatened to kill Myers for smiling at him.

Ho did not, however, know much about tho occurrence, for he was iifty or sixty feut away at the timo. Ho Baw Commander McCalla raise his sword and later lay it over his shoulder. Before the Court of Inquiry, the. testimony of both officers and men of tho Enterprise as to tho threatening of Myers waB regarded as conclusive, and that tho serious chargo against McCalla on this Bcore is considered by hie counsel almost certain to bo proved ia shown by their strenuous efforts to shake the charge on a legal technicality something very unusual in trials by courts martial. Sergeant of Marines Gallagher, after telling the court of different modes and instances of punishment on tho ship by chaining men together, ironing them, putting them in straight jackets, he was subjected to a series of questions by Lawyer Menzies, the obieet of which was to establish tbe dangerous nature of the bad elomcnt in the crew of the Enterprise.

Assistant 3 udge Advocate Stayton raisednn objection to this line of examination on the ground that the charac ter of witnesses before the court or of members the crew of the Enterprise could not legally bo assailed in that way. The court, however, would not sustain tho objection aud Mr. Menzies went on getting out very good testimony for his side about the turbulent, unrulv. drunken and piofligate gang on the ship that made extra ordinary measures nocessary to keep them subjection and prevent their conspiracies from resulting in a general demoralization of the crew and perhaps mutiny. The witness thought the men who fairly and reasonably obeyed tho rules of the ship got on all right.

From wliat ho saw of Commander McCalla's conduct he did not think there was any disposition on his part to be harsh or cruel toward the crow. Ho did not know of anyone who was punished that did not deserve it. During the examination of Sergeant of Marines Alfred H. Monroe, who repeated the oft told story of punishment by irons, straightjackets and tho like, Lawyer Menzies asked what tho witness's opinion was as to the object of the ironing in a certain case, whether it was done aB a pmnshment or simply as a restraint to keep the subjects of it from jumping the ship. "I object to that question," Baid Assistant Judee Advocate Stayton.

"You've allowed the same thing before," put in Mr. Menzies. "Yes," rejoined Stayton, "tho court's sense of liberality toward the accused, has permitted it to allow many things that ought not to havo boon allowed." The question was put in another form and the court took a rocess. THE SURROGATE'S COURT. Probata Uusiiiessi Transacted the Past Week by Judcc Abbott.

Royal Bnltliifr Powder Absolutely Pure HlghM in LMTnlng Pgw BoporV89 A4T Which Led Millionaire Offer, man Into Litigation. Ho Asserts That Messrs.

Barnaby Biickhout, Acting as Real Estate Asrcnts, Wrongfully Obtained $10,003 From Him on a Recent Transaction. Henry Offorman, tho Washington avouue mil. lionaire, has brought suit in tho Supremo Court to recover $8,500 from Roal Estato Agonts Frank A. Barnaby and Hflnry 0. Buckhout.

In his complaint, which was drawn up by Lawyer Moses Harris, Offorman tolls tho following curious story of his experiences with Mossra. Barnaby Buckhout: Trior to Novomber 30, 1880 Mr. Offorman contemplated the erection of a seven story building on upper Fulton Btreet, and had sovcral consultations in rotation to his scheme with Barnaby. Thoy talked over tho pricos of Fulton streot real estate and considered various desirablo locations, and final ly Offorman authorized Barnaby to conduct tho arrangemonts. On Novomber 30, as a result ot negotiations, an agroomeut was made by Barnaby with S.

Wechsler it Brother to occupy such a building as Offorman proposed to erect. Tlioro was drawn up and Bigiiod a written contract by which Offorman bound himself to pur etiaso a plot of land at Fulton and Diiflield streets and to erect thereon a fivo story building, which S. Wochslor Brother were to loaso for a period of twelve years. Tho contract waa signed by tho dry goods firm and by Offerman, who authorized Barnaby to buy 503, 505, 507, 500,511 and 513 Fulton street and 240, 242 and 244 Dnftteld street at tho lowoat prico. This lot has an aggrogato front of 100 feet on both thoroughfaros.

Barnaby reported to Offerman that ho had seen tho agents and owners of tho promises and had ascertained the lowest prices, whieh, as ho assured Offorman, woro as follows: For 503 to 513 Fulton street, $100,000: for 240 Dnftiold street, for 342 and 244 Dufficld streot, $30,000, making an aggregato of $235, 000 for the entiro plot of ground with tho buildings thoroon. On Bartiaby's representation that the pricos named by him were the lowest prices for which tho properties could be bought, Offerman authorized him to closo the bargain at thojo figuros. and in February of this year Offerman took his titles, planking down $235,000 in cold cash. Subsequently, Offerman avers in his complaint, he discovered that he had boon fooled as to tho prico of 242 and 244 Duffield street. In support of this allegation Offerman says that after signing tho contract with S.

Wochsler Barnaby and Buckhout called on John Rhodes, the owner of 242 and 244 Dufiiold streot, and learned from Rhodes that he would Hell tho two premisos for $20,000. Thereupon, secretly and for their own gain, on December 2, Barnaby and Buckhout caused a contract of purchase and sale to bo executed by Rhodes to David S. Kimball, a Now York produce merchant, who ropreMiifcod tho defendants and was not known to Offerman, Rhodes agreeing to sell for $20,000. On the same day Barnaby and Buckhart bound Offerman. in another contract, to pay $3 0,000 for the samo property, thereby clearing $10,000 for themselves ou the transaction.

Offerinan's deed to tho promises, dated February 1, 1890, was executed by Chantley E. Aldrich, a New York stoek broker, tho consideration being $30,000. Offerman alleges that Kimball and Aldrich wer6 merely friends of Barnaby, neither having any pecuniary intorest in the transactions in which their names wero usod. The plaintiff ohargos that Barnaby and Buckhout conspired agaiiiBt him and defrauded him. Ho sues to oommi Hions, to which Barnaby is rightfully entitlod.

Tho papers havo been sorved. Barnaby files a separate answer through Liw yer Brewster Kiasam. He swears that ho is not a real estate broker, but is simply an employe of Charles A. Soymour on Montague street. He denies that he and Buckhout are partners and admits that he and Buckhout shared the commissions on tho salo of 242 and 244 Diifiiel street.

He admits that he mado an agree mont with S. Wechslor Brother. Ho admits tho deed of the property on Duffield Btreet to Chantley E. Aldrich, but says tho latter held tho property in trust for him. Ho admits that Kimball and Aldrich aro his friends, but says ho had no interest in their transactions.

Ho claims $1,500 for his services, and denies that Offerman employod him to purchase the properties. Ho says ho was employed only to get S. Wechslor Bro. to take a twelve year lease of the premises. Buckhout also files an answer, through Horaco Graves.

He makes general denial of each of Offerman'a allegations. Meanwhile, arrangemonts for clearing off tho lot and erectiug the big building, which is to cost about $400,000, aro going actively forward.

Royal Rakinar Powder Absolutely Pure Bigheot iBLvftvenlng Pmr U.S.qoY, BeporVaO AdY Witness McCann Tells a Very Interesting Story. lie Informs tho Fassett Committee That Croker Brought $180,000 to His House to Secure Grant's Confirmation as Commissioner of Public Works in New York. Tho Sonato Committee on Cities, otherwise known as tho Fassett Investigation Committee was assembled in Superior Court Chambors, Part New York, at 1 1 o'clock thm morning.

1 hero wore present of tho committeo Chairman Fassett and Senators Dean and MeNaughton. Tho chamber was crowded with the usual assemblage of lawyers, politicians and citizens, which ban greeted tho previous sessions of tho committee. There was also a solitary woman in black in tho farthest corner of the room. Senator Deane was the lirst to arrive, and whilo awaiting his colleagues, he conversed with ex Senator John Cnllon. Ex Assembly man Jacob F.

Miller dropped in early. Ex Judge Koch, who isatpresontiimemborof tho Exeiso Board, was the next to arrive They wero followed by Senator MeNaughton. Senator Fassett arrived at five minutes before 11 o'clock. He wore a shining tilo and a fragrant pink in his buttonhole. Excise Commissioner Fitzpatrick reached tho court room before tho committeo was called to order.

He and Judgo Koch had a short talk with Fassett, which was interrupted by tho arrival of Mr. Ivins aud Mr. Bo.trdman. The first individual called by ComniittaeCoun sel William Ivins was P. II.

MfiCann. HeAovod to be the piece do resistance of the morning hearing. He was a fat. rod faced man, with a stubby beard, low forehead and an eye that was innocent to the last degree. McCann explained that he was until recently lessee of the Mount St.

lucent House, Central Park. He had tieou a dry goods merchant before he took tho houso. Hub fitter house had formerly been leased in tho name of Colliding, who was now with Dorlon oyster house. The witness was advised to tako tne prouerty from Mr. Coukling by.

tho witness' brother in law, Chamberlain Croker. llio consideration of tho tr.nisi'er of the lease was $10,000, which tho witness understood went both to Conkling ami Croker, who held the lease in Joint account. Ho understood that tho property had not been run to a profit by the two partners. The property was mortgaged to air. Malone, who lived at Ninth avenue and bixteenth street, The property under tho witness as lessee had been run to a profit.

When he asked for a renewal of tho lease it was objected to by the Park Commission. Witness had had some difficulty with Mr. Croker growing out of the louse. Mr. Ivius l)o yon think that this difterencu between you had anything to do with your inability to get a renewal of tho lease from the Park Commission? Mr.

MoCaiin objected to answering this question, because of involving family affairs. Mr. Ivins said that he understood irom prominent citizens that many things had been going on with such secrecy and success that they were not even suspected. The present witness was in possession of information valuable to this investigation. While ho did not want to involve family affairs, he wanted to get the truth.

Witness said, in answer to Mr. Ivin's next question, that he had had dilliculty with Mayor Urant and with Mr. Croker growing out of tho Mount St, Vincent lease. Ho had known Grant since a year before ho ran for Mayor. The witness understood that previous to 1S84, when Squires was appointed Commissioner of Public Works, that trrant, while a member of tho Board of Aldermen, was also a candidate uith SquireB for tho Public Works Commissionership.

Ho heard this from Croker. Also that Croker thought the appointment could be gained for Grant if his confirmation could he assured in the Board ol Aldei men. There was, to the witness' best belief, a canvass of the Board at that time. Mr. Ivins Diil you ever hear that a sum of money had been raised to obtain the supuort of the Board of Aldermen for Mr.

Grant's candidacy? Mr. McCann (turning to Chairman Fassett) Here, this comes inio family matters again. I often heard tilings which I did not believe, and I am not going to repeat, them. Ivins I urn going to ask you a still more leading question. Did Mr.

Croker bring to your house or store a sum of money which he said was for the purpose of gaining the continuation of the Board The witness objected again. Ho declared that he did not want to repeat things told him in confidence. He demanded the protection of tho chairman. Finally, at the solicitation of the chairman, he admitted that Mr. Croker came to his houso with a sum of money, which he said was for the purpose of securing Grant's confirmation in the board.

Mr. Ivins How much money was there Witness About $180,000, 1 think. He brought it in a sachel. This statement was receivod with a decided stir in the chamber, and Chairman Fussett's hammer came down sharply on the desk. Mr.

Ivins Did you count the money A. I did. Q. Mr. Ivins Where did Mr.

Croker say he got tho money? A. He mentioned one name, that of Moloney, now in Canada. He said that it had been collected by subscription in "the organization. Tho witness supposed that meant Tammany. He did not know whether the money was over redistributed after the failure of the appoiutment.

Witness McCann, in answer to further questioning on Grant's affairs, could not say asaured Iv whom he heard it from, but ho understood that Grant's first candidacy for. the mayoralty was very expensive. Mr. Ivins Did you ever hear that Mayor Grant, during his term of Sheriff, gave sums of money, either directly or indirectly, to Mr. Croker or any member of his family? Mr.

McCann I won't have to tel who told mo, will Chairman Fassett That may come later. Mr. McCann I refuse to say anything about it I won't interfere in family matters. I won't speak of family secrots any more. Counsel Ivins put the question in another way, and the witness admitted that he heard that Sheriff Grant had given Flossie, a member of Croker's family, t5, 000 on iivo different occasions.

Then Mr. Ivina said "It remains with tho committee to find out where the witness got his information." Air. McCann Don't ask me, I beg of you, don't ask mo. Chairman Fassett then, after a brief talk with tho other members of tho committee, asked tho fateful question. The witness hemmed and hawed, and finally said: It was Mrs.

Croker." The witnesB was also told by Mrs. Croker that the money waH used to pay off the mortgaim on a house on Mount Morris avenue. Mrs. Crokor also told the witness that Mr. Lester Home had been to her three times in one day since tho present committee's investigation began, as an agent of Mayor Grant, and offered her money to leave tho city.

Her husband is in Europe at tho present time. Lester Home had also been to Dr. Wheaton, the family physician of tho Crokera, and asked him to go away, offering him his expenses and what his practice would bring him during tho time of his absence. Chairman FaHBett (reverting to the money again) Did you know at tho time that Croker had tho satchel in your store, how many aldermen would have to be bought to assure Grant's confirmation? Did you know that eighteen was a two thirds majority of the aldermen at that time and that this sum was just $10,000 apiece? Did you notice whether there were eighteen packages or not? Mr. McCann did not know that eighteen was a two thirds majority and ho did not remember tho number of packages of money.

Chairman Fassett Did you know how Grant came to be nominated for Sheriff? Witness could not say. Regarding the Mount Saint Vincent House Witness McCann said it was truth for Croker. Af tsr a little moro conversation the witness was dismissed. Mr. Tate was next called by Counsel Ivins.

corroborated the accuracy of a typo written cop of a summary of proceedings of tho Board ot Aldermen regarding the granting and repeal o1 excises licenses, from January 1, 1884, to date. Mr. Ivina explained that ho would bring in tho Board of Aldermen's records as a whole later on, but this summary would do at present aB a matter of reference. Chairman FaBsett then declarod tho hearing adjourned to meet at the call of tho Chair. The adjournment was at o'clock, and tho court filed slowly out evidently satisfied with tho entertainment.

Closing the Gap With Malras3 Work. New Orleans is Not in Danr Deprecating the Effort to Exaggerate the Trouble. New Orleans, April 20. The Timf Democrut's iia yoa Sara Bjeeiivl, re lerring to the groat Morgaiiza crevasse, says: "Hero the water of tlio river is only about a foot or less below the crown of the levoe, whieh tt the break was 'U feet high, with a base of over 200 feet. The break is now sonio 1,500 feet vige and it is caving off at the lower end at the rate of 300 feet in twenty four hours.

"Captain Kinsman estimated the discharge through this crevasse at over 150,000 cubic feet per second, and as his calculation was based on a breach a little over feet wide it can readily bo understood how rapidly the discharge is increasing. The average cost of this levee was $10 per running foot, so that at the present rate of caving the lower end is wasting away at the rate of $3,000 per day. Every effort will be used to protect what remains of Jlorganza with as little delay as possible. "The United States steamer lluby, with a gang of thirty men, is engaged in securing a supply of willows for mat rasscs. The towboat Trincc and the tug Tilda arrived off the crevasse With a barge load of roek from New Oi lcans with Which to load the matrasses.

Captain Kingman expects to have the matrasses intended to protect the leveo at tha lower end of the break ready to 8ink to night. The greatest difficulty and danger will attend this work, as it will be necessary to run the barge down close to the break, right in the strongest of its tremendous suction, and then Warp it out over the lower side. The matrass Will be 150 feet long and placed against the levee 60 that as it crumbles away the uii. uiDiorted portion of the willow branches will lap the foundation of the broken end and protect it, while the opposite end of the mattrass will bo securely anchored to the ground portion of the dike." The stories of suffering and danger of loss of life in this overflowed district are, to say the least, premature. That a financial calamity has fallen upon a splendid section of Louisiana is, Unfortunately, too true, but to attempt to color it with tragedy is manifestly absurd.

Tims far Borne stock has been drownjd, and it i impossible to say how serious the loss of stock may be in the interior, but even now there are many who will not take the trouble to have their stock removed, though they are absolutely sure to bo overtaken by the rising backwater within the next few days. Fortunately the water from the great Mor gansea crevasse falls into an immense uninhabited swamp less than one hundred yards from base of the levee, and it is sheer nonsense to Suppose that it will overtake any one who has not had ample warning of its approach. Its course will lie largely through the Atehafalaya, and people by that time should be prepared for any emergency. This misfortune is enough, but it is Hot a matter over which people have any cause to become hysterical. The current statement that there has been a general surrender along the line of defense is wholly erroneous.

CONGRESSMAN" ALLEN EXPLAINS. He Did Hot Attack senator tluay Xor Mr. Wnimiuaker. Washington, D. April "0.

In the House to day Mr. Allen, of Mississippi, rising to a question of personal privilege, read an extract from a special to a Philadelphia paper stating that in his recent speech he had tittered a vulgar tirade against Senator Quay and had Characterized him as a thief, and had closed his speech with an attack upon the piety of Postmaster General Wanamalier. He read the resolutions of the Republican State Committee of Pennsylvania denouncing the indecent conduct of Messrs. Allen and Spinola in attacking Senator Quay. He denied that he had ever called Senator Quay a thief.

He denied the allegation and defied the allegator. It had never been his purpoee to begin an attack on Senator Quay and he had never done so.
