A SOHOOL BOW AT PEARSALL9. A DEMAND FOR JUDGE L1NQB. SAT ON A STEP NOT A NOVICE. THE MAN LET GO HE HAD NO BUSINESS HO DO IT. Some of tli Work Contractor Oarer Did 'at St.

Jobnlandt MUNICIPAL. iOdOdEUffl IT WAS HOT TBICHDIiB. The Case of tho Strum Family la the Twentr slxth Ward. Meat Inspectors May and MoElroy, of the Health Department, have made an Investigation In the case of the Strum family, in the Twenty sixth Ward, who were reported to have discovered trichina) In some pork kidneys, The Inspectors report that tho kidneys containod "bladder worms" Instead of trichlnto. Inspector May says that this fact should be made known In Justice to the dealer Who sold the meat The following letter bears on this subject: To the Editor of the Brooklyn EagU: Oh Monday you published an article headed Diseased Fork," stating that the meat had been purchased at August Poetzsoh's pork store, on Atlantic, near Sheffield avenue.

It seems hardly possible that Moat Inspectors May and McElroy should not understand more about trichina) than to take a worm an inch in length for one of them. I should not at all be surprised If they were to take a 100 yard long tape worm for a fuU grown trichina. Trichina? cannot be seen except with a powerful magnifying glass. Persons who know anything about hogs know that only healthy hogs have bladder worms. Dr.

Bartlett, of the Board of Health, after a careful examination, states that he found worms, suoh as indicated above, to have no connection with trichina). By taking more care the meat Inspectors may save a business from ruin. If they do not understand tbelr business they should give way to men who are competent to nil their places. Louia Stdtz. Brooklyn, February 2, 1887.

MORE ABOUT WADSWORTH. Too Many City Folks Staving ieto tho Village. William Selvege, of the Niagara Insurance Company, recently purchasod a handsome residence In Pearsalls, L. and took hia family there to reside. Mr.

Selvege found the school accommodations very crude, and at the suggestion of his neighbors called the attention of Trustee Thomas J. Mott to some improvements they would like to have made. The trustee said the school was costing entirely too much since so many city folks had movod Into the vUlage, and he would be glad enough to sea all of them move away. One complaint Is that the Ores In the school are not started until 8 o'clock in the morning, and when the children are admlttod the rooms are cold and damp, the floors always bolng sprinkled before bolng swept. Sometimes tho chll dren are kept standing In the street for as long as fifteen minutes, through tho tardiness of the Janitor In opening the doors to them.

Last Saturday Mr. Selvege sent; Trustee Mott a very sharp letter. Yosterday an answer was received. The trustee did not confine himself to a discussion of sohool affairs. "Keep your chickens out of my garden or ITI shoot them," was a little digression indulged In by Mr.

Mott It made Mr. Selvege angry. Lost night the two men met lu Joseph Slmon son's store, and after Indulging in a war of words pulled oil their coats aud prepared to hammer oach other, but bystanders Interforred to preserve the peace. DID HE HIDE IT A Case Which Interests All Benefit Societies. Policeman Terwilliger Said to Hare Deceived the Surgeon TVho Examined Him.

Money Which the Royal Arcanum Will Not Pay. Iu Part I of the Supreme Court to day wero gathered representatives of nearly all tho mutual benefit societies and orders having lodges or councils in this city. A case, which is a test exactly covering all tho points which have been In doubt and variously adjudicated upon In the courts during the past decade, was on trial, the result of which Is of Importance to every such sooioty. The issue involvod in the suit on trial Is $3,000, alleged to be due by tho Ordor of tho Royal Arcanum to Mrs. Emma L.

Ter willigor, the widow of Abram Torwllllgor, who was a member of tho police force of this city for abou twenty years. But the point In tho caso of tho most general Interest Is tho medical examination. Terwllllger died In June, 1884, after having been a member of tho Royal Arcanum about a year. Ho was also a momber of tho Polico Mutual Aid Association and was a Free Mason. On his death botu of these organizations paid certain amounts of Insurance to the widow, and that fact Is, to somo ox tent, rolled on by tho plaintiff's counsel.

The plaintiff's caso Is the statement that Torwilli gor applied for admission to tho ordor, was examined by Dr. Van Zllo and admlttod to membership of Morning Star Council, R. paid his assessments, died and tho Supremo Council refused to pay tho Insured for. Mossrs. J.

B. Van Wart and Sidney Williams, attorneys for plaintiff, with ex Judge Dailoy of counsel. The defense is a charge of fraud in obtaining membership in the order. Tho answer made by Messrs. Georgo V.

Brower and Thomas E. Poarsall, counsel for tho dofendant ordor, was that Terwllllger concoaled certain facts, aud made falBe and untrue and fraudulent statements In his9 application for membership and in his raodical examination. Proof will be offered on the trial, which Is expected to last soveral days, that Terwllllger stated specifically that ho was not suffering from certain maladies and had never had any operation performed. Such maladlos or tho result of such operations, itill bo shown, tho defense allege, woro the cause of his death. In 1879 he was recommended for retirement on pension from tho polico force, on account of injuries which ho had sustained, but instead was put on light duty at South Forry.

The caso will, of course, turn on tho suffioloncy of the medical examination and the alleged fraudulent represoutations mado by the deceased. The first witnesses callod on technical points were Counselors Brower aud Williams, who aro both members of tho order, now contending on opposite sides. Tho caso Is bolng very closely tried and watched by lawyors and members of klndrod orders, and excites the liveliest interest. A BIG JUDGMENT SATISFIED. No Appeal in tho Suit of Oscar F.

Haw ley's Asljinec. A satisfaction of judgment has been filed in the clerk's offlco of the City Court In tho suit of Henry Patton, as assiguoo of Oscar F. llawloy, against David Whitney, Jr. A verdict was obtained on tho trial of the suit two wooks ago for about $42,000. Tho defense decided not to appeal and settled tho Judgment, The action was brought to recover the value of lumber seized by tho Sheriff undor execution.

After Mr. Hawley had mado an assignment the assignee claimed that tho property was part of the assigned eBtate, while the defense charged the assignment was void by reason of fraud. The result was quit a victory for the as slgnoo. Jackson Burr appoared for the plaintiff, with ex udge Reynolds of counsel. MONEY BIAKKET.

It was dark and the Judgo could uotsoo his assailant, who instantly ran. Tho Judge appoared as usual on tho bench this morning. He says ho has uo doubt ho can recognizo tho voice and form of his assailant.

Last night Congressman Morriman, of Now York met Mr. Cowlos and asked why ho persisted In ohjocting to the Brooklyn bill whon all the members on tho Democratic Bide of the Houso wore in favor of it, with this ono exception. Mr. Cowlos reiterated his objections, as already explained In these dispatches, "but thoy did not satisfy tho little Congressmen from New York who said "Yes, I notico you object to his bill on tho ground that Northern cities are getting all tho big appropriations and that tho South is left out In the cold, but it is at the samo time observable that whon you want subscriptions for charitable purposes you always apply to us, and novor full to get thorn." But wo must be economical," objected Mr. Cowles.

But the Girls Taken Into Custody. Another Story of Infatuation With Stage Performers Hattie Breudell and Paul ine Lord iu Trouble. Many susceptible young girls in the Eastern District, not under proper parental control, fall desperately In love from time to timo with actor playing at local theaters, whllo attending the performances and make It a point to form an acquaint anco with them If possible.

It is not unusual to sea girls loitorihg outside of a theater in tbo afternoon until tho performers make their appoaranco. Several havo disappeared from their homes within the past few months and have been traced up through tho medium of the playhouses. Only laal weelt a girl was arrested outstde of tho Grand street Museum on a charge of vagrancy made by her" father, and It was found that she had becomo enamored of an attache of the place. Last night another girl who lett her home a week ago was ar rested outside of the same playhouse. Hattie Breni dell, a handsome girl of 15 years, left her parents home at 605 Vanderbllt avenue several days ago and tho police were notified.

The officers of th( Fifth Precinct Kept a sharp lookout for her around tho theaters. Last night Roundsman Lynch was informed that a girl answering Haltle's description was to meet a member of the Lorenzo Brothors' troupe, now performing at the museum, in company with a girl well known to the police, by tho name of Paulino. Lord, of 752 Wytho avenue. The performance had not boen over long when Paulino. Hattie and tin actor entered the oyster saloou at 104 Grand street, adjoining the museum, and had just sat down at a table when the roundsman arrestod tho two girls and permitted the actor to depart.

At the station Paulino gavo her age as 17 years, but she ie known to bo three years older. She admitted that Hattie boarded with her, but she doniol having led hor astray and the latter told a similar story and added that she loft home bocauso hor father had whipped hor. Mr. Brendell to day denied that ho had chastised his daughter. The name of the actor was mentioned, but he said that ho merely went Into tho saloon with Pauline and Hattie to have oysters.

In Justice Naeher's Court this morning Pauline was committed untU Saturday noxt on a chargo of abduction and Hattlo was taken In charge by the Soaiety for tho Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Mr. Polletroau, cne of the proprietors of the museum, tol 1 an Eaolb reporter to day that he gave strict orrlers two weeks ago to tho men In the box offices not to sell tickets to Paulino, and he told tho girl himself that she should not como to the theator. "She waa not in the theater last night," he added, "unless she got in in some surreptitious way, but all my employes saj she had not. 'Within tho past fow days 1 refused to sell tickets to flvo young girls whoso actions I did not like.

I frequently refuse to lot young girls la tho theater. I do not know who was with the girls lost night. There are nine men in tho troupe." O'MEIfj DEPRESSED.

And Took the Neighborhood Into Her Confidence. The DiTorced "Wife of Auctioneer Lewis Airing Her GrieTances He Says She is Trying to Drire Him from Brooklyn. This morning a well dressed woman, of about 65, and weighing from 250 to 800 pounds, walked down Schermerhorn street from Smith, under full headway, with fire in her eye.

When she arrived at No. 154 Schermerhorn street she stopped and, with an air of Srm but unalterable resolution, mounted tho stops, and seating herself In the snow on them burst into hysterical sobbing. Two years ago she obtained a divorce from her husband, George W. Lewis, the weU known auctioneer, of Boerum place near Fulton Btreet, who was ordered to pay her alimony of tl2 a week. The failure to pay thto alimony, so Mrs.

Lewis says, Is what Induced her to take her cold seat on the top step of 154. A Mrs. Thompson keeps a boarding house at that number, and Mr. Lewis has been boarding there ever since his divorce. The Btory that Mrs.

Lewis told to every sympathetic passerby as she sat on the steps was that she was a terribly abused woman. That man," she fairly shouted between her sobs, Is living here with that woman and keeping hor In luxury while I am suffering from lack of food. He owes mo now $133 back alimony and wont pay a cent" For three quarters of an hour Mrs. Lowls repeated this story with sobbing variations. The snow melted around her and drippod like tears down the steps and to every windfiV pane In tho neighborhood was pressed a curious faco.

Mrs. Thompson was in tho house, but Mr. Lewis had gone down town. Finally In desperation the former sounded her police telegraph alarm to which two policemen responded. Before they reached tho houso, how over, Mrs.

Lewis had stolen away loaving no trace of her presence oxcopt tho bare spot on thtop step. An Eagle roporter called on Mr. Lewis at his placo of business. When spoken to about the occurence he said "That woman Is doing everything to drive me out of thlB town. I have paid her alimony regularly, and she has nothing to complain of.

Her children are putting her up to this, and if she don't quit BheTl ruin my business. She is eighteen years older than I am, and was a widow whon I married her Just after my return from the war. She has a married daughter living with her on Livingston stroet, aud also has tho custody of our young son. What haven't I done for that and here a sadly reminiscent look came into Mr. LowUV faco.

Ho had his little pony carriage and everything that heart eoujd wish for, and now ho turns against mo. My wife comes In front of my Btoro hero quite often and yells and cries, tolling hor story to everybody that goes by. I'm a ruined man If this thing goos on sure." NEAR HIS MOTHER'S GRAVE. Harry M.

The Doctor Who Deceived Miss HanibeL What is Known in Boston of the Man Who Promised to Boy an Island for an Eastern District Girl Figuring in a Famous Case. Speoiafto the Eagle.J Boston, February 2. Apropos of the blgamlstln escapade of Dr. Frank Yernon Cooke with Miss Mary Hanibel, of the Bostern District of your city, may be said that the physician la well known here. Beside bolng a man of medlolne he appears to havo worked wonderful' cures among his patients.

They Include prominent personages who lately figured In the double suicide scandal case hero on Christmas Eve. The victims of that affair, Valentine Johnson and Mrs. Zorls Sammls, both young and prepossessing, shuffled off their cares by a liberal dose of "rough on rats." The rendezvous of thoso ooncerned in that tragedy was an apartment house on Temple street One of those who cut quite a figure in the affair was a young New Yorker named Hobart The leader of the famous flat appeared to be one Mrs. Mary Murphy, a dashing, solid brunette of 80 Summers. Last September this charming woman took possession of tho aforesaid flat and with her came a numerous caravan, which included Dr.

Cook, Mr. Hobart, three dogs a Spitz, a bull and a brlndle. Soon after, through the agenoy of the Children's Aid Society, Mrs. Murphy Becured the service of Annie Crowley, a Mies of 16, whose beauty was extraordinary. This damsel Mrs.

Murphy clothed in rich and costly raiments. Woman's fondness for variety In dress and woman's appetite for dainty fare was glvon full swing. Her butcher called "Mrs. Murphy the "first lady Of Temple street" John Condon, who Is considered the cute grocer of Beacon Hill, was a most willing victim and supplied the Murphy wigwam with the fat of the land. The residents of the wigwam were fond of riding and a woll known hack Arm gave them much credit The lady of Temple street ubually had the fair Crowley as the companion of her drives.

Sho seems to have also beon an apple of the eye to tradesmon, neighbors and Jolly coachmen. Mr. Hobart frequently rode with her teto a to to; so did the gay doctor. Hobart was a gallant cavalier, but Frank Vernon Cooke discounted htm. Cooke appeared to usually pay all the accounts and he generally carried an enormous roll of bills, but whllo he freely displayed this roll was rarely known to settle.

Mrs. Murphy bought $700 worth of furniture from a Washington Arm on the Installment plan, a stove dealer furnished other luxuries, and Hailot and Davis put In a grand piano. The first cloud on the horizon appeared when a noted Catholic domlnio claimed Miss Crowley on the ground that her aunt objected to the attendance of tho niece at Sunday seances at Tremont Temple. There was a row, but aunt aud priest and guardian were too much for Afmo. Murphy, and Annie left the wigwam.

Her place was takon by a young lady who camo from Now York. Then Mrs. Murphy began to lose prestige. Suddenly the latest acquisition to the family, who answered Miss Hanibel's description, loft for Now York. So did Dr.

Frank Vernon Cooke. The credit 6f the concern began to shako. Thou came the Christmas eve festivities, followed by tho awful double suicide. Soon aftor Hobart dropped out of the gay lifo of tho Temple street family. Another week and tho commercial community discovered simultaneously that they had been taken In aud that the Murphy domicile was ompty.

The lady of Tomplo street has incontinently shifted her residence known unsettled liabilities exceeded $3,000, with some fifteen or twenty firms to hear from. Aa soon as her creditors discovered tho flight they swooped down on the Tomple street apartments and seized what waa loft, consisting of the stores, piano and furniture. Everything olao had been packed and sent to Dr. Cooke at West Twenty sixth street, New York City, whoro Mrs. Murphy followed and Is now supposod to be.

From investigations made to day it appears that Dr. Cooke came to Everett, about three years ago and was quite the thing" in socloty thero. Ho dressed well and lived high. That he was popular with the fair sex goes without saying, no was assiduous in his attentions, playing tho gallant to no loss than six Everett beauties. Finally Miss Laura A.

Watson, who Is the slstor of Professor Watson, a partner of Professor Andrew Graham Bell, captured the gay doctor and they were married. Slio has since discovered the true charactor of tho ubiquitous doctor, as havo also sundry creditors in Evorett and Boston. Tho young lady loft Cooke and went to live in Woymouth. Cooke went to Bridge ton, where he opened a drug store, where ho was chargod with obtaining goods by fraud, but made a settlement and was released. Tho young lady, whose confidence in the doctor was so much misplaced, has iho sympathy of all Evorott.

The Proposed Hospital for Contagious Diseases. Text of the BUI Sent to Albany bf Com mlssioner Otterson Alderman Farley at the Hall The Water, Extension. Health Commissioner Otterson sent to Albany a bill for the establishment of hospitals for contagious and Infectious diseases, and in relation tc the ereotion, government and maintenance thereof. It constitutes the Mayor and the Health and City Works Commissioners a Board with authority to select a site In or near U)0. city, for the ereotion of publio hospitals for the reception and treatment of persons suffering from Infectious or contagious diseases.

After suoh a site has beon selected it Bhall be purchased at a fair marketvaluoor leased by the Commissioners. The Board of Estimate of the City of Brooklyn Is authorized to include from year to year In Its annual budget the sums necessary for the purchase or leaso of the site and for the erection and maintenance of tho hospitals and so reported are to be included In the annual tax levies of the olty. The management of the hospitals to be under th direction and control of tho Commissioner of Health and tho Commissioner shall make rules and regulations for their conduct and government He Bhall appoint all physicians, who shall be doctors of medicine, holding degrees from medical colloges in good standing. He shall appoint auch employes, nurses aud servants as may be necessary and determine their salaries, and shall regulate the scale of prices for those who are able to pay for admission and treatment Butno person having an infoctlous or contagious disease shall be refused admission to these hospitals because of his or her Inability to pay. All moneys received from patients treated In these hospitals must bo paid into tho City Treasury.

The bill also providos that tho Commissioner of Hoalth Bhall cause to be removed to theso hospitals any person or persons afflicted with contagious or Infectious diseases whoso house and sanitary surroundings aro not satisfactory to him. Commissioner Otterson says that as such a hospital Is an urgent necessity, he hopes that the bill will bocome a law with aa little delay as possible. ALDERMAN FARLEY IN BROOKLYN, P. Farloy, a raembor of the Now York Board of Aldormon of 1884, was at the City Hall to day and met acquaintances iu the City Clerk's office. He said that he had como to Brooklyn to befriend a man who had boon arrostod and taken before Justice Massey, and had dropped in at the Hall on his return to New York.

THE WATER BILL. Tho Water bill sent to Albany by the Law Department is practically tho Bamo as that which failed in tho Legislature last year. Its object Is to enable the city to at onco take possession of some half dozon parcels of land required for tho water works extension (the owners of which land demand exorbitant prlcos for it), loaving the question of damagos to be afterward settled by a Supreme Court Commission. Tho prospect of the bill becoming a law is not very oncouraglng, as the opposition is understood to bo as strong as usual. FOR BUILDINGS.

Mr. C. B. Sheldon has submitted to the Department of Buildings the plans for a 3 store and dwelling, 20x50 feet, at Franklin avenue and Butler Btreot, and for six 3 story brick dwellings, 18.6x45 each, adjoining. Total cost, $33,000.

DAGGETT STOOD BY HOME RULE. What Ho Think Bo Done with Exciso Moneys. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle In my hasty interview with your reporter I am mado to say that I voted "against every charitable institution and ovory scheme." I presume tho reporter has quoted mo corroully as far as ho went, but I think I explained to him what I meant He has, with tho trifling exception of making mo fill the two Jolly Irishmen with "musclo and mother" instead of mother wit, faithfully transcribed my views as given to him. What I wished to convey wa3 that in the Senate I had stood by Homo Rule against overy assault mado upon it in attempting to legislate for Brooklyn at Albany. In so doing I had beon compelled to defeat measures for charitable institutions which annually kuock at the doors of the legislative chambers for a slice of tho good things at homo.

Not a dollar was added to the oxponsos of tho city during my term, and free water and bounties from tho Exciso funds wero compelled to wait until I got left." In fact, I passod In tho Senato a bill which was strangled in tho Assembly, and which authorized tho Board of Estimate to divide tho Exeiso monoys which wont to tho charitablo Institutions pro rata, so that eacli should stand on Its merits and be paid according to the numbor of inmates cared for, and not as now at tho beck aud whiuo of tho average political accldont who finds himself for a yoar authorized to mako laws for tho people. The soonor tho city gets to some such basis tho better for tho taxpayor aud all worthy Institutions. Alueut Daggett. Brooklyn, Fobruary 2. IT HAD A SNOW TIPPED NOSE Aud Was Daintily Wrapped Up, but Nobody Wanted It.

An Irishman, in a blue blouse, carrying a long whip, wa3 walking along Congress stroot, near Cliuton, this morning, whon his attontlou was attracted to a bundle lying on tho sidewalk, near tho gutter. Tho bundle was tied with a pretty blue string, and there was an air of placid mystery about It Tho Irishman paueed, stooped, and tenderly lifting it In his arms, carrlod it to a doorstop, upon which he sat and eagerly proceeded to open It A coal black cat, with white paws nnd a snow tippod nose rewarded him. Around its nock was a card on which was written "Fanny's Little Pot" A broad grin stole across the Irishman's visage as he beheld the defunct feline, and he lied the bundle up agairtjald it down where ho had found it and stood on the opposite side of tho street to await developments. In a moment thero camo along a well dreBsed woman. She picked up tho bundle gingerly, glanced up at tho houses suspiciously, and disappeared with it around tho cornor.

In about a quarter of an hour a servant girl In a whlto French cap tripped Into Congress strcot with the bundle, which was un dono, and put It where the Irishman had found It And thore pussy lay during the remainder of the day, with its snow flake nose pointed mutely skyward.

A COMPROMISE Which Governors Hill and Green May Effect. Will the ExecutiTei of Tiro States Try to Reconcile the Differences Which HaTe Culminated in the Bigr Strike 1 on Union Men Assaulted iu Hohoken The Freiffht Handlers. It was reported this afternoon that Governor Hill and Governor Green, of New Jersey, would hold a conference to morrow to decide on some action that would bring the strike to an end before the beginning of next week. These two men have always been friendly to the working classes, and If such a conference la hold there is little doubt that cme kind of a compromise will bo effected. The storm this morning seriously interfered with what little business there has boon doing along shore for the lost few days.

The wharves and piers of ttao various stores presented moro the appearance of Sunday than a working day. The strike has so interfered with gonoral business that there Is scarcely anything to do even if men could be found to work. At Marllu'd and the Empire stores tho same state fcf, affaire existed as yesterday. At the former it Was stated that the steamer Sirlns would Bail probably to morrow with a half cargo. The steamer Prydaln a rived at Ua rbeck's Stores this morning with fruits from Moditorranoan ports.

It will be Several days yot before any attempt will be made to dlsoharge hor cargo. At Roberts' Pier, tllo crew and about twonty green hands are discharging the cargo ot the Caracas. The Finance is still on the Other side of the pier waiting for her cargo. A few men are at work on no one can tell when she will ho able to got away. Tho Watson Stores and the Central Elevator are entirely desertod.

About fifty green hands are at work on the Stura at the Mediterranean Line pier and about the same number on the Powhattan. The regular men would have had them unloadod several days ago. The Plerrepont Stores are deserted and no one seems to know when the Saxmundane will be unloaded. Gangs of Italians and others are still working the etoamors Towor Hill and Utopia, of the Anchor line, at Prentice's Stores. It Is thought that tho former may be able to sail Saturday, a week late, with a full cargo.

Albert House, of 023 Warren street fell down the hatchway of tho Utopia this morning and sustained a compound fracture of the skull, ne was taken to the Long Island College HoapitaL His recovery is doubtful. House is 38 year3 of ago and was ono of tho first men to go to work in place of the strikers. He was foreman of tho gang on the Utopia. CaptaIn.Kellett, of tho Fliteentli Product, early this morning escorted sixty non union mon from the forry to Woodruff's Stores, whero they went to work Insldo. The crow is still discharging tho Samana, Tho dudos continue their work unloading iron from tho steamer Lake Winnipeg, at the Dow and Columbia stores.

Thoy find it very hard work and will probably top when they got paid. They do not proBont the ologant appearance they did when thoy wont to work yostorday morning. Their clothes havo become dirty and torn and their hands cut and bruised. The young man who was Injured yesterday has beon taken to the hospital. The steamer Clyde, of the Clyde Line, was taken over to tho company's plor In Now York this morning.

Tho nwnoru despaired of over getting her loaded on this sldo of tho river. Michael Doyle, a green hand, fell into tho hold yostorday, but was not seriously injured. At Pinto's Stores only six of tho 100 men at work yesterday could be found there to day. The other stores in the Atlantic Basin are desortod. Policemen are stationed oil along tho river front from Catharine Forry to Rod Ilook Point, but their cervices are not required as far as the Btrikers are concerned.

The men are orderly and sober and only a few could be seen along Furman and streets. A largo crowd, however. Is gathered at tho cornor of Atlantic avenue nnd Columbia street, whoro tuo mon hold two or throe meetings oach day. Thoy aro Just as dotormined as ever not to return to work until tho grievances of their fellow workmen havo boon settled. Thero is no change In tho situation in tho Eastern District to day but a gonoral feeling prevails among tho mon that tho strlko will end, whether in victory or defeat, this ivook.

Small knots of men hang around In the vicinity of the coal and other docks and earnestly discuss tho situation, but they made no hostile demonstration of any kind against tho few non union mon at work unloading some coal at the Wallahout Canal. Pratt's mon, at tho foot of North Twelfth street, are still on strike. At Ilavemoyer's dock, familiarly known as Palm or's, at tho railroad dopot at tho foot of North Fifth street, coal is coming In day and night on cars brought on floats from Jersey. The cars aro emptied from a platform into tho barges which arc towed to Havoraeyer's sugar house bulkhead at South Fourth Btreet, to Dick Meyer's at North Seventh street, and tho Brooklyn sugar house at the foot of South Second slreoL Gangs of mon work at the coal dOCk night and day. The union men did not mako any demonstration and only a few of them stand around, yet Mr.

Palmer wanted a force of police there all tho timo, but. bis dosire was not complied with, as thero wa3 no need of officers. Ilavemoyer's dock laborors, or longshoromon, wont to work to day for their boss, Mr. Edward S. Scott, but they aro handling only sugar which has been weighed by Government mon.

There aro sixty mon in the two gangs. THE SITUATION IN NEW YOKK. Instead of the endless confusion of trucks, horse cars and every other wheeled vehicle that is daily to be seen on West, South and adjacent streets, In New Tork, there were only the horse cars and a fow trucks hero and thoro this morning. Tho majority of tho big railroad frolght receiving and deiivory piers were closed and work was almost suspended. The exception was in tho caso of Plor 5, the Pennsylvania, whoro a dozen mon were put to work by Agent Bowman.

Tho men seemed lost amid tho huge piles of freight that wero stacked all over the bulkhoad. The ono pair of gates that wero open on the dock wero guarded by pollcemon. Piors 1 and 16 of the same road were also closed, and at Pier 2 tho Lehigh Valley Koad did not attompt to open the gates and no freight was offered. At tho New York Central and Hudson River Pier tho agent Bald they were receiving all tlie freight that was offered. Thoro had boon no trouble with tho men.

The men at work wero Italians. The N. Y. L. E.

and Woatern Hailroad Pior had a few men at work, but at the office of the agont it was stated that thoy wero taking and delivering all the freight that was offoro. On the Starin Pier whore the frolght of tho Delaware and Lackawanna handlod, thoro woro as many policemen on duty as thero woro Italians handling freight. Two solitary trucks stood at tho delivery platform. Tho superintendent said thoy had all the men they wantod. Thore wa3 plenty of holp on tho Boston and Providence Pier, but tho boats of the company wero not running and the freight was light The Stonlngton Lino had mon at work.

Along tho East Itivor front tho samo difficulty in moving freight was experienced as on tho piors of the North HIver. Tho Long Island Railroad pier, foot of Catharine stroot, was full of freight, and there was somo difficulty In keeping It moving. Timothy P. Putnam, a member of tho Executive Board of the Ocean Association, against whom the Old Dominion Steamship Company brought suit for $20,000 damagos, gave himself up to United States Marshal McMahon to day and furnished ball. His bondsmen wore William Padlan, 323 East Nineteenth street, Now York, and Thomas F.

Murphy, S33X Tonth street, Brooklyn. FKEHInT HANDI.EKS OJTIT. Tho freight handlors omployod In tho depots of the Pennsylvania Railroad In Jersey City struck work at noon to day. Tho men marched out In a body, but made no demonstration. Tho strlk ng freight nandlcra at the Erie dopot remain out.

Tho company havo omployed 200 ItallanB to fill their placos. All business is at a standstill at tho freight stations. NOV UNION MEN BEATEN. A largo crowd of tho striking 'longshoremon laid In wait about 5 o'clock this morning on Hudson street, between Second and Third, Hobokon, to Intercept the new men omployed on the Thingvalla Steamship Company's dock, at tho foot of Fourth street, while going to their work. Tho strikers woro concealed bohlnd two new buildings.

About 0 o'clock tho now mon camo up tho stroot, and when they reached tho point whore tho strlkors were concealed tho latter, armed with clubs and bricks, sot upon thorn and gave thorn an unmerciful boating. Thero wero about fifty of the soabs, mostly Danos nnd Germans, and they fled iu ovory direction. Of tho fifty only twonty olght reached tho dock. None of tho strlkors was arrested.

TO BUY A VOTE. A Legislator Approached by Farweli's Friends.

Sensational Disclosures Made in the Illinois Houses of BepresentatiTes A Chicago Socialist's Revelations. SrRlKOFlELD, February 2. A ripple of excitement was caused In the House this morning by Mr. Merrltt (Dom.) rising to a question of privilege and reading an article In a St. Louis paper giving a report of a speech made by Kepreseutative Bailey (Labor) before a labor meeting in East St Louis on tho evening of January 3n, In which he stated that while the labor caucus was balloting for Senator, Mr, Dixon (Labor) had been cullod out by a prominent business man of Chicago and told in efTect that votes for Mr.

Farwell wore worth from $1,000 to $5,000. Mr. Morritt wanted an explanation ot tho article. Mr. Bailey stated that ho had substantially stated what the article presented him as Baying.

Mr. Merrltt wanted to know if the person who offered the bribe was a member of tho Houso. Calls wore mado for Mr. Dixon, who said that he saw nothing In the article to indicate that tho person was a member of tho House. Ho stated that he had been called out of tho caucus by a business man from Chicago, who proposed to him that if ho (Dixon) could control five votes he could control tho same numbor, and thus block tho election of Mr.

Farwell, and that thero was a big speculation In it Mr. Dixon said In reply that he Indignantly repollod tho proposlticn, and retumod to tho caucus and informed his colleagues. A voice Was tho man who made tho proposition a momber of the Houso Dixon Ho was not Mr. Merrltt stated that ho had boon In the Legislature nlneteon years and that ho had never been offered a bribe. It remained for tho immaculato leader of the labor party of Chicago to recoivo such a proposition before he had been in tho House ten days, then to skulk away and got his name in the newspapers Instead of oomlng on the floor of tho House, as was his duty, and mako the matter known.
