It made the passage safely, running at about fifteen miles an hour, and soon after returned. The bridge will probably be delivered to the company on Monday and a formal opening for business will take place later, when the railroad connections are completed. CHESAPEAKE PIRATES SHOW FIGHT.

Five Dredging Schooners Captured and One Mail Shot. Baltimoee, December 29. Information has been received of a desperate fight between the police sloop Julia Hamilton and a fleet of illegal dredgers that took place last Thursday afternoon in Fishing Bay on tho Dorchester County coast. Captain Tyler, of the Julia Hamilton, discovered the pirates at work in the morning and ordered them away. Thoy wero enveloped in a dense fog and apparently sailed off, but returned and in the afternoon Captain Tyler attacked them.

The battle continued several hours over six hundred shots being lired from the polieo boat and a great many from the boats of the oyster thieves. An unknown dredger was shot through the arm and the boats were badly riddled with bullets, though no serious damage was done. The pirates were finally routed and put to Friday morning the State forces were strengthened by tho arrival of the steamer Governor 31c Lane, Captain Howard, and five dredging schooners were captured and towed into Cambridge. Their captains, however, escaped. The buttle is said to havo been full of excitement, and several narrow escapes from personal injury are reported.

THE LATEST ENGLISH HORROR. Milkman Barrett Arraigned for lUurdcr at ISradkord. the London. December 20. The milkman who is arrested, charged with, tho murder and terrible mutilation of John Gill, aged 8 years, of Bradford, is named Barrett.

He was taken before a magistrate this afternoon and charged with being tho last person who saw tho boy alive. The boy when last seen was in the prisoner's company, and when hi: was missed the milkman was asked if lie knew anything about Ids whereabouts. He denied any knowledge of him. A bloody sack and a knife fitting the wounds in the boy's chest have been found in the prisoner's lodgings. He has been remanded for trial.

The report that the murdered body of a boy had also been found at Keighley proves incorrect. The milkman arrested for the murder of the lad whose remains were found at Brail ford is a native of Keighley, and the rumor of a second crime had its origin in this fact. THE GASPE COAST FISHERMEN. Their Drawbacks Have Not EJcen Without Compensation. Queiiec, December 20.

The annual report from Gaspesays: The cod fishery, which is the main support of the Gaspe coast, has afforded an average return along the St. Lawrence and Gulf coasts. The Fall fishery has been much improved by the continual rough weather. The fishing on the Anticosti coast not so good as in former years, but the drawbacks the fishermen havo had to contend with have been partly compensated by an advance iu the price of codfish. There will therefore be no distress on the coast which cannot be dealt with by local charity.

A Special Commission Star In fur Vnget Soundi Washington, 1).

December 20. The Naval Commission, consisting of Captain A. T. Mahar, Commander C. M.

Chester and Lieutenant Commander C. H. Stockton, appointed to select a site for tho new navy yard to be located on the northwest coast of the United States, have left Washington to inspect tho proposed sites. Tho party will go direct to San Francisco, whence thoy will be taken by a United States vessel up the coast to Puget Sound. Tho law provides that tho yard shall bo located north of the forty second parallel of latitude, and tho mombers of tho commission havo been engaged since November :50 examining maps and charts of the coast furnished them by the Coast and Geodetic Survey and by the army engineers.

Thoy havo thus gained a very accurate knowledge of tho country, that will shorten their labors materially on thoir arrival at Puget Sound. Tho Board has notyot come to any conclusion as to the location of the yard beyond tho fact that a site will be selected somewhere in Puget Sound. A site near Seattle is very favorably considered. When the Commission arrives on the ground thoy will consider the character of the coast and the deptli of water obtainable and will also inquire into tho resources of tho country, tho possibility of obtaining naval supplies and the convenience of rail transportation. It is expected that the trip will occupy two months, and on their return it is probable that the same Commission will ho continued to select a location for tho new navy yard to be constructed on the southeast coast of the United States.

ELY'S BROTHER TRIED TO SAVE HIM, But tlio Young Man is Again in Serious Trouble. Cuicago, December 20. A dispatch from St. Louis published here this morning said that a clerk was sent to a bank for $3,000 yesterday, was robbed of most of it by the crowding method in a hat store and that one of tho men arrested for the supposed robbery gavo his name as C. W.

Ely, a salesman for tho Pino Cuff and Collar Company, of Chicago. At the office of the collar and cuff company here it was learned that Mr. Ely had not been in the employ of the company during the hist two years. At the store nothing to his discredit was known. Further inquiry developed the fact that young Ely nas well known around Chicago a habitue of billiard halls and other resorts.

He never worked, but always seemed to have plenty of money. Suddonly.he dropped out of sight and was afterward heard of by a friend who received a letter from him dated Cincinnati. C. W. Ely has a brother, a prominent physician in this city.

When asked about him to day Dr. Ely said: ''Ho was a wild boy, very wild, and caused us a great deal of trouble. I spent between and $7,000 in saving him from disgrace, and I finally told him bo must not use my name again until he proved himself a man. He wont away and I have heard little of him since, though I had every reason to believe he had reformed. I last heard from him about a yoar ago, when he was in Kansas City.

It is quite possible that ho is in St. Louis and committed the deed, but it is nothing to me if he did." BUADSTREET'S AGENCY SUSTAINED. The Company Not Responsible for a typographical Error. Philadelphia. December 20.

Jndcn Finletter to day delivered an opinion sustaining tho Bradstreet Company in tho suit brought against it by Crew, Lcviok oil merchants, to recover damages for a loss which they sustained and which they allego was caused by false information furnished by the Bradstreet Company. They gave credit to a firm on the strength what the Bradstreet Company had printed in book, and it was afterward discovered that the book had a typographical error. On the trial of the case, Crew, Levick Co. were nonsuited, on the ground that the contract with Bradstreet's did not hold it responsible. A rule was then taken to take oil" the nonsuit, aud Judge Finletter, in refusing to do so to day, said that tho contract upon which the suit is brought expressly stipulated that the defendants shall not bo liable for any loss or injury caused by the neglect or ether act of any oflicer or agent of the company, in procuring, collecting or communicating such information that the said company does not guarantee the correctness of the aforesaid information.

FOUR PARDONS BY THE PRESIDENT. Reasons for the Exercise of Executive Clemency. Washington, D. December 29. Tho President approved four applications for pardon yesterday.

In the case of Sylvanus Smith, of Pennsylvania, sentenced March 1HK8, to eighteen months' imprisonment and $10 fine for passing counterfeit coin, the pardon was granted because of the prisoner's good character prior to tho commission of the offense and the information he gavo aiding to bring the real operators to justice. James Wiggs, who was sentenced October 4, 1888, to six months in jail and $100 fine for violations of the Internal Revenue laws, was pardoned because there was a doubt as to his guilt and on the recommendations of tho judge and the district attorney. John H. Hess, of Utah, was pardoned, his offense being bigamy, for which he was indicted at tho September term of 1880 and is now under bonds for trial. He had taken the oath to obey the law.

The reapplication of Judson E. Houghton, of Michigan, for restoration to citizenship was granted. NO CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY Between Hie Secretary of the Treasury and Surveyor jWcffjauglilini Washington, D. December 29. Tho Treasury Department has no information touching tho reported seizure of the stained glass window imported for tho Catholic cathedral at Dubuque, by Surveyor McLaughlin, of that port, and is not advised as to what theory the surveyor liases his action upon.

It is customary for the Secretary of the Treasury to issue orders for the free admission of works of art or church regalia, as he is authorized to do, in his discretion, by statute law, and in the present case the Secretary has so far expressed his discretion as to permit the transportation under bond of the stained window from the port of entry to that of delivery. Beyond this the department has not gone and the reported utterances of Surveyor McLaughlin are a matter of surprise to the Treasury officials. BASK BALI, IN ONTABIO. Hamilton, December 20.

For years the Greenpoint Masonic Hall, on tho southeast corner of Manhattan and Meserole avenues, has been considered inadequate to meet tho domandsof the craft of that section, and not until this month has there seemed to be any way out of the dilemma. A few weeks ago Messrs. Randall Miller purchased the property on the southwest corner of Manhattan and Meserole avenues (opposite tho old Masonic Hall) aud, when interviewed by those having the interests of tho Masonic fraternity at heart, though not Masons themselvcB they were willing to put up a substantial four story structure and put the words Masonic Temple" in large block letters in the cornice and to make the rooms suitable in every way to the uses of the Masonic fraternity. As soon as Randall fc Miller made known thoir intention there arose a handful of Masons who thought the location not of the best, and they accordingly ascertained that Smithsonian Hall, corner of Greenpoint and Manhattan avenues, could bo obtained for tho same price, but the owners (Smith, Gray A Co.) refused to pay for tho alterations. Notwithstanding that the alterations of the public hafl would cost over $1,000, there were those who still insisted that that was tho proper place for tho Masons to remove, to.

All the organizations interested in tho hall Greenpoint, Reliance, Seawanhaka and Herder lodges, Altair Chapter, It. A. and St. Elmo Comimvndery No. 57, K.

T. have held elections recently, and with two exceptions all tho trustees who wore electod favored the new hall. A meeting was held last evening at tho old Masonic Hall of the Joint Board of Trustees, when for the first time they officially took notice of the proposition of Randall it Miller, and on motion agreed to accept it. Tho plan of the hall affords amplo meeting, ante, banquet and toilet rooms accommodations. Work will be commenced on the structure at once.

Tho cornerstone will be laid with formal Masonic ceremonies under the direction of tho M. W. grand master of the Stato of New York, and it is expected that the building will be ready for occupancy oarly next Fall.

"It ib a very cold day," snggestcd a Ralph ave nne conductor, as he gallantly assisted a young lady to board his car on tho morning of tho 12th of last March. "It's an awfully cold day," replied the fair passenger, with a bewitching smile, as she shook off the snow which covered her from head to foot and went inside. It was a cold day aud thoro is no one who will deny it, for that was the day of tho famous blizzard. But, cold as it was, tho chilling winds of that icy day were nothing in comparison the freezing atmosphere that yesterday pervaded a Jersey City court room. For then and there the gallant conductor was sent to prison for three years at hard labor for his marriago to his pretty passenger of the 12th of March.

Such is the romance of Daniol D. Fennell, the good looking, blue oyed, brown haired and brown mustached conductor, and such is tho romance of Hannah Iteinenger, tho charming young lady whom tho fascinating conductor deceived into marrying him. The story of Fennoll's wicked ways was told to an Eaole reporter yesterday afternoon, by his first wife, a very pretty little brunette, who lives at Ho Sumpter street. She had just returned from Jersey City, where she had been to see about getting a divorce, and was very williifg to talk. Although a very modest appearing young lady, she thought best, for many reasons, to have the true story told at once and told in full.

She said: "Mr. Fennell and I were married on tho 17th of July, 1 KS2. For six yUirs we got along very well together, but at tho end of that time I noticed a very decided change in his conduct. He wasn't as kind to me as he used to be, but said nothing. On the 28th of last August lie left me, aud without giving any reason.

I knew where ho was, but supposed he would como back when he got ready. He sent me $2 a week just euough so I couldn't say he didn't give mo anything, and kept away. On October 4 I learned that he had been married at Jersey City, on September 1 8, by Hcv. S. W.

Nicholson, a Baptist clergyman, to Hannah Iteinenger, a girl who had been working at Wilmer it Gaunt's, Hlni street, and Broadway, and who had been living with her parents at Bartlett street. My husband and this woman boarded for a while at 1,12:1 Herkimer street and then went to housekeeping at Marion street. This last place was only a few blocks from whero I was living at Uopkinson avenue and Prospect place, and I thought his conduct decidedly cool. They had been in their new quarters on JIarion street but two days, when I got a warrant from Justice Kenna and my husband was locked up in Ilaymond street Jail. Finally wo got the proper papers and took him to Jersey, where the bigamy Was committed, and on the 17th of this month ho was brought up for trial.

He had claimed to have a divorce from me procured by a lawyer by th" name of Cohen, in Center street, York, but when time for trial came he pleaded guilty. He was remanded for sentence, and yesterday the judge sent him to Trenton for three years at hard labor, saying that he thought my husband knew the divorce was bogus, as he took the trouble to go to New Jersey to get married. All the time he was in Jail he was sending mo the most pitiful loiters, asking ine to intercede for him with the judge, and sometimes I almost gave in, but now I am glad that I did not. If Iliad thought he would be a better man for another trial I should have let him off, but I learned so much about his sly doings that I became convinced that a chance for rellection would do him good. He and I were married at St.

James' Cathedral, on Jay street, by Father ltourke. My maiden name was Mary Dwyre. I do not see why he went to a Protestant clergyman this time, as both he and the Iteinenger woman are Catholics." The injuredwit'e stopped talking and her Ions black eyelashes trembled upon her cheeks. "What do you think she suddenly exclaimed. "When I was going over to Jersey City on flio Annex boat this morning who should I sco but this other woman going over to bid him goodby, I suppose.

I said nothing to her nor she to me." 'T11K DR.U'(;HTS CONTKST. London, December 29. In the draughts contest between Messrs. Barker and Smith to day both games resulted iu draws. TilK WEATHER.

Ail KS PLAQa At the Home of General Harrison Yesterday. Ladles ami Children Were Amonj the Callers on the President ElectIndiana Interested in Ohio's Politics. Indianapolis, December 29. President elect Harrison passed rathor a quiet Saturday, seeing about tho usual number of callers, but there wore no distinguished out of town politicians among his visitors. Ho put in a good share of the morning at his desk in tho library, and in tho afternoon he spent a couple of hours out walking, going down street, stopping at his former law ofiico for a timo and making several other calls.

Tho slight inflammation which affected his right eyo early in the week has entirely disappeared. Among his visitors fxwlay was Judge Lebaron B. Colt, U. S. Circuit bench, of Massachusetts, who called with Noble C.

Butler, of this city. Judge Colt is in tho city on private business of a non political character. Other visitors of note were ex Lieutenant Governor William Cumback. of Greeusburg, and Judge Alfred Thomas, of Crawfordsvillc. A couple of gentlemen from Dakota and Arkansas and a.

large numbor of people from interior Indiana towns called merely to pay their respects. There was an unusual number of ladies and children among the day's visitors, which was doubtless duo to tho remarkable weather that prevailed tliroughout the day. Thoroughfares wero crowded, and for several hours during the day it was quito comfortable outdoors without overcoats or Winter wraps. Some days since General Harrison received a copy of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, handsomely bound in turkey morocco. It was a gift from tho publishers.

To uay's express brought a copy of Worcester's Unabridged, bound in half morocco. A well known gontleman, when ho heard about this surplus of lexicons, remarked that it looked as though tho American publishers were "equipping tho new Administration for iu ocuous etymological exploits." Mr. Russell Harrison is expected to return from New York about Sunday night. No arrangements have yet been made at tho Harrison house regarding Now Years reception, and it is doubtful if the General and Mrs. Harrison will hold a formal reception.

New Year calling is not as generally practiced in this city of late years. as in many other larger cities. There is very little to bo chronicled to day of a strictly political character. The most interesting political theme which is being talked of a good deal is the apparent outbreak of hostilities in the Ohio Republican camp. That is the way the most astuto Indiana politicians regard Governor Foraker's practical dismissal of General Charles H.

GroHvonor from tho honorary office of trustee of the Soldiers and Sailors Orphans' Home at Xenia, 0. The crisp correspondence between tho distinguished gentlemen has been a subject of speculation and somo politicians profess to be unable to diagnose the case, in view of the fact, which iB beyond dispute, that General Grosvenor quite recently, while hero, spoke in the kindliest terms of Governor Foraker, and even recommended and suggested his namo for a cabinet position. General Grosvenor's well known, intimate, personal and political relations with Senator John Sherman, adds additional interest to tho matter. Said a loading Indiana politician to night: "You may put it down that when anyone slaps at General Grosvenor ho hits John Sherman. Tho fire has been smouldering ever since the Chicago Convention and it looks to me ns though it had broken out now and I look for a pretty fight between the friends of the warlike Governor and the veteran Senator.

We Indiana fellows can look on with complacency. We are all harmony: no factional fights in sight." This same gentleman is regarded as something of an authority on Cabinet probabilities and keeps a private slate which he declares lias never been published. Ho concluded the interview by stating that he was. going home andrub the name of a distinguished Ohio man off his slate. "This quarrel," said ho, "lets Ohio out of tho Cabinet; of that I feel certain' THE JACKSON JICAULIFFE FIGOT.

JTake Iiilrain Cltallcnc the Victorious Australian. San FitANCisco, December 20. The result of the Jackson McAuliffe fight last night was a great surprise to a large part of the sporting fraternity here, and there is no doubt that tho admirers of the Californian lost a large amount of money, as wonderful interest had been taken in the contest, and the betting had been very heavy, with large odils in Mc Aulilfe's favor. McAuliffe was outfought from the start to tho finish, and throughout the whole fight he did not succeed in giving Jackson a blow which had any telling effect though he aimed a number of powerful ones at the dusky Australian which would havo brought the contest to a sudden close if they had reached their mark. Jackson was recognized as a good man, but a great majority of the spectators were unacquainted with the fact he possessed such a wonderful quickness as well as science and hard hitting powers.

Jackson came ont of the contest almost without a scratch, while McAuliffe was badly punished, among his injuries being a broken nose. President Fuller, of the California Athletic Club, received a dispatch from Charley Mitchell yesterday stating Jake Kilrain would fight the winner of the Jacksnn McAulift'e fight, and that he would to $500 in addition to the club purse. Mitchell states that Kilrain's challenge to the winner is in preference to his partial engagement with John L. Sullivan. When Kilrain's challenge became known in the club room, during the progress of the fight last night, bets of two to one wore made that he would back down.

Cuicaoo, 111., December 20. After the Q. Rtrike had been thoroughly discussed to day anew by the convention, the Special Grievance Committee of liino had a brief session, and then in a body visited tlio general offices of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Company. There the committee wen; closeted for half an hour with Vice President Stone and General Manager Ripley, in tho hitter's office. After the visitors had departed, Sir.

Ripley said: "Tho gentlemen simply camo to ask if it wonld be convenient for us to see them hero Monday and hear what they have to say. Thoy desire a conference, but we are not ready for it. to day, and simply wanted to know if wo would give them a hearing Monday." "Did you grant tho request?" "Certainly. We can't refuse to hear them. That does not indicate, of course, that we have any intention of changing our position.

They did not tell us what they are coming here for, and we do not know whether they are going to ask any concessions of us or not." This was all Mr. Ripley had to say on tho subject. HAY NOT HE HEAD. Siodx Fallk, December 29. Last Sunday a 3 year old child of L.

P. Olson, of East Sioux Falls, died from dropsy, and preparations were mado to bury the child on Tuesday, but, as the ground was very slippery from the recent sleet storm, it was postponed until the next day. That night the body showed evidences of returning life. Color would frequently come into different parts of the body and then entirely disappoar. There wero also other evidences of life.

The funeral is now indefinitely postponed until it is decided whether or not tho child is dead. PARDONED BY THE GOVERNOR. Boston, December 20.

Tho New York Committee Distributes tho Prizes for tho Detection and Conviction of Illegal Voters at the Late Election Only Ten Claims Allowed. Many peoplo havo doubtless forgotten that one of tho incidents of tho lato Presidential campaign was what was known as the Honosty fund. It was in the very height of tho excitement of the canvass, and was a move in tho political game generally attributed to that shrewd party manager, Senator Matthew 8. Quay, of Pennsylvania, the chairman of tho Republican National Committee. Early in Octobor, iust before the registration of voters began, tho Republican newspapers contained the following announcement in all tho prominence of big type and display heads.

It waB printed both in the news columns and as an advertisement, and was republished from day to day until just before the election. 25,000. TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS REWARD.

SO .000 for the second conviction.

CHENEY, ProBidont As is well known, Mr. Bliss is the rich dry goods merchant, head of the firm of Bliss, Fab yan Mr. Root is the eminent lawyer and ex United States District Attorney, and Mr. Bollins is tho distinguished lawyor and ex Surrogate. All of them are, of course, activo Republicans.

These gentlemen have just settled up the affairs of the Honesty fund. At a meeting held yesterday they distributed the rewards to those who had been instrumental in detecting and punishing cases of false registration. Curiously enough ten convictions for false registration were all that were brought before tho committee, including both New York and Brooklyn. There were only twelvo claimants for rewards altogether. Two wore disallowed aiid ten were approved, and rewards were allowed from the fund in theso ten cases.

This involves an expenditure of or not much over one fifth of the fund. The lucky winner of the first prize of $2,000 was John Brodorick, of 140 Madison street, New York. He was a Republican inspector of election in the Fifth Election District of the Fourth Assembly District. On the 17th of October, the first day of registration in Now York, a man named George Gordon registered as voter, claiming to live at 142 Madison street, New York. Broderick, who had lived in tho neighborhood all his life and knew everybody in that block, challenged Gordon, hut he swore his vote in.

Then Broderick made an investigation and found that, as lie suspected, tho man with the Byronic namo had never lived in Madison street and was not known there. He made a complaint in the Essex Market Police Court and Gordon was arrested by Detective Cornelius Leary, of tho Seventh Precinct, next day. Ho was arraigned before Judge Cowing, in the Court of General Sessions, on the of October, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to two years and six months' imprisonment. Broderick did not let the grass grow under feet and on the very next day presented himself dilican Headquarters and claimed the reward ui 2,000 forthe first arrest and conviction. Detective Leary gracefully waived any claim that ho might have in favor of Broderick.

Tho special committee Messrs. Bliss, Hoot and Rollins were called together promptly. They acted at once on Broderick's claim, and on tho following day, the 2fth, Broderick received a check for $2,000 on the Garfield Bank, which be presented and received two new crisp $1,000 bills. Broderick's case was briefly mentioned in a Republican newspaper at the time, but in all the other eases the rewards have just been decided upon. The second reward of $1,000 will go to Patrick Callahan, of Mott street, New York, for information resulting in the arrest and conviction of James M.

Starr in the General Sessions on October 29. Callahan was an election inspector in the Nineteenth Election District of the Second Assembly District across the river. Starr was a tramp colonist. Ho was arrested by Detective Cristal, of the Sixth Precinct, on Callahan's complaint. Ho pleaded guilty and got two years and six months from Judge Cowing.

The third reward, which amounts to $500, will be given to Patrolman Samuel J. Campbell, of the Twenty fifth Police Precinct, New York, for information resulting in the arrest and conviction of Samuel Ray. Campbell was doing detective duty at the Forty ninth Election rrecinct of the Twenty second Assembly District during tho first day's registration, October 17. Ray claimed to live at 311 East Seventy fifth street. Ho did not live there.

Lochner was indicted on the 8th of November, tried on tho 13 th before Judge Cowing and got three years and six months. Ho would have got off easier if he had pleaded guilty.

Muhling caused Murphy's arrest and gave evidence which convicted him in tho General Sessions on tho 10th of November. Murphy got two years and six months and Muhling will got $250. Cornelius J.

These are not to be paid until Lund, Best aud Donlea havo been sentenced. They have all pleaded guilty, but in a legal sense cannot yet be said to havo been convicted. Hence the reward is withhold until tho record is legally complete.

But the lucky men can count on the money. Some Developments Following the Death of a Detective. Catharine Hogan, of Brooklyn, Suing a New York Lady or Alienating Her Late Husband's Affections Both Sides of the Cants. Mrs Catharine A. Hogan, of this city, brought Buit in the Now Yorlt Supreme Court yesterday against Mrn.

Caroline Wolf Hogan, of Gramercy Park, Now York, for 000 damages for alienating the affections of her lato husband, Christopher V. Hogan, who was in his day one of the most noted detectives in thiB country. In her complaint she avers that the defendant, back in 1858, enticed her husband from Iter, "and by her persuasive and seductive power influenced him to transfer and give over to her large portions of his property." Hogan died in 188.r, worth, it is estimated, $200,000, and, from the statements of the interested parties, lived a dual life. His services in the noted Kissano forgeries on the New York Chemical Bank first brought him into prominence and won for him a position in the Secret Service of the Government. Prior to the breaking out of the war he was arrested and confined in the old Capital Prison at Washington, charged with being implicated in tho robbery of the United States Treasury.

He was released by order of President Lincoln, and when the latter was assassinated Hogan took an active part in hunting down his slayer. Mrs. Hogan, the plaintiff the present action, was found yesterday at Hudson place, a blind laneway that runs off from Sands street, near Hudson avenue. She occupies the top floor of a tenement house with her son, and is over (SO years of age. The apartments we're poorly furnished and the general surroundings bore evidences of poverty, yet they were clean and neatly kept.

She related to the Eagle reporter a strango story of a life made up of hardships and sorrow. When 15 years of age she married one John L. CaBsidy and had one child. When the gold craze swept over the country in 1840 her husband contracted it among others, and organized a party of four to go to tho gold fields and tempt fortune. Among the equipments that they purchased San Francisco was a keg of gunpowder.

They located at a mining camp which bore the sobriquet of Hangtown, owiug.to tho large number of Ivnchings held there Thev iMiched their tent and stored the guttpowder under a inula. Thai night they nisye'il cards and the powder px ploded, titling Cassidy and another. The news was conveyed to his wife, who then resided in Brooklyn, in the same vicinity in which she now lives. A year later, while walking on Fifth avenue, in New York, she met Hogan, who was a member of the police force. They indulged in a flirtation, which was frequently repeated.

This ripened into friendship and a year later they became engaged. On May they were married by the Rev. Henry Chase, pastor of the old Mariners' Church, that stood at the corner of Catharine street and East Broadway, at his residence, 53 Market street. They started housekeeping at the corner of Forty second street and Ninth avenue, New York, and afterward moved to the comer of Forty eighth street and Lexington avenue, where two children were born. Hogan had been made a detective by this time and was rapidly rising.

In 1858 he met a Miss Carrie Wolf, who lived at the corner of Thompson and Bleeeker streets, and fell desperately in love with her, in spite of the fact that she was but 14 years of age. My husband left me one morning," continued Mrs. Hogan, and I never saw him alive again. I went into an undertaker's shop thirty years af tor and saw him in his casket. Miss Wolf disappeared at the same time tiiat he did.

I was glad to get rid of him, for he had treated me cruelly and attempted to shoot me once. I used to read about him in the newspapers and learned he was in the employ of the Government, When he was in prison at Washington I sent him letter, but received no answer, though I have since learned that he sent money to me, but I never received it. I was washing clothes in New York to keep our children from starving while he was living in style with another woman in Washington." Mr. Clarence L. Demerest, of tho law firm of Hudspeth fc Bruns, S43 Broadway, New York, who are counsel for Mrs.

Hogan, stated that they have the marriago certificate signed by the Hoy. Henry Chase, who is now dead, and that their client's claims are based on very substantial grounds. Ex Judge Richard Busteed, attorney for Mrs. Hogan No. 2, was also seen by the Eaole reporter.

This is one of the most remarkable cases," he said, "that has ever been brought into a New York court. Our answer to the compUint will be an emphatic denial of every allegation made. I knew Chris Hogan for years. He was one of the greatest, detectives in this country and rendered valuable service to the Government as well as to the City of New York. Thoro were three things he was fond of wine, woman and work.

He wonld stick at the latter until ho gained his point and then lay off and enjoy himself. He married my client in New Orleans about 1866 and if he had been married before that he certainly did not know it, for he told me a hundred times he had not been. The Brooklyn lady brought a suit against him for absolute divorce in the Supremo Court of Kings County a number of years ago, but the case was never finished. My client at that time feared there may have been a prior marriage and would never consent to live with him as his wife until he cleared the matter up. He went to live in Harlem then at the corner of Second avenue ahd One Hundred and Twenty fourth street, where he was found dead in bed one morning They say he was worth $200,000 at the time of his death, but I do not believe it.

My client, his widow, possesses considerable real estate and the Brooklyn lady thinks she has a right to some of it. The most striking thing to my mind is the amount of damages the plaintiff claims. Why, Chris Hogan would roll over in his coftm with laughter if he knew that anj'ono considered his affections worth $25,000. It's a very remarkable case, sir." WENT OUT ON LIGHT BAIL, But Was Subsequently lEearrcsteil for Iflurtler. Providence, It.
