INDIGXAMON IN QUEENS COUNTY Over tbo Disappearance of McGowan'u Kciriiatiou There is deep indignation in Queens County ovor a conspiracy of politicians to tie the hands of Governor Hill and prevent the appointment of a District Attorney In place of the defaulter McGownn.

When McGowan fled to Canada he left his resignation lu the hands ot Charles F. White, a newspaper re was to have forwarded It to tho Governor as soon as the fugitive was out of roach. Mr. White surrendered the resignation to parties who have not sent it to the Govornor and who refuso to return It to Mr. Whito.

He Make? Himself Perfectly at Home and Describes Peter McNuItj's Pecu liaritie. Mrs. Mary A. Hall brought snit in tho Supreme Court this morning boforo Judge Browne to set aside a conveyance of.

property situated be twoeu Elllotvllle and Stapleton, a made by Peter MoNulty, her father, to Catherine MoNulty and Martin Illgglns. The reason for the setting aside of the conveyanco was that Mr. MoNulty at the time of signing it was of unsound mind. Among tho witnesses called by Mrs. Hall were David A.

Smith and William Hall, her husband, both ot Now Brighton, S. Mr. Hall is a magnificent specimen of the genus rustl cus. He has an ample mouth, white tooth aud Is ruddy as to complexion. At times he whispers in audlbly aud at other times voices his opinions with the shrillness of a caliope.

During his testimony ho was perfectly at ease on tho witness stand and tilted himself baokward on bis chair, clasping his bauds at the back of his head and yawning as if he intended to utilize all the spore room of the court He added to the effect of his evidence by assuming a drawling method of speech, which seemed tit tlraos to causo htm to forget the question asked him. "Where do you reside 7'' asked Lawyer Powers, who appeared for the defendants. "Well, now, that's a matter you know all about," said Mr. Hall. When informed that his answer was not to the point, he stated that he lived in New Brighton, and added, "why Lawyer Powers knows that as well as I do." The spectators laughed and Mr.

Hall assisted them with a broad grin. "Did you know tho late Mr. MoNulty?" "Wail, that's a queBtionl 1 should say I did. Why my wife was his daughter." Tho Judge's gavel could not suppress the lauehter which Air. Hull's answer elicited, and he continued: "Indeed 1 did know him and a queer old fellow he was." "What were his peculiarities "He was crazy, crazy as a loon and used to drink, too." "What makes you think he was crazy "Well, one day me and my wife called on him.

Wnon we called 1 was always treated to the best In tho houso. Nothing was too good for me. Well, Mrs. MoNulty, she gave him a glass of lemonade and me some whisky. The old man drank It and said was tho best brandy he ever tasted.

Now, a man that can't toll lomouade from brandy must bo crazy." Whon the laughtor subsided Mr. Hall was asked to give other instances of Mr. McNulty's strange conduct. "Oh, pshaw, I could talk all night on them," said he. "Ho used to think ho had a thousand heifers and all of thorn had calves.

Then he would oay tho same thing all over again and whouevor I would come to see him ho would say: Ib Don Golloher dead 7 Now Don Gollohor died in 1805 and he went to his funeral." Laugbtor.J "That will do," said the lawyor. No," said Mr. Hall, 1 was off on Don Golloher; ho died in 1885." Did you notice anything else strango about Mr. McNulty?" Well, yes; ho used to read John Phllllppot Cor ron's dying speech. I don't mean John Phllllppot, I mean William Cullen Curran.

Laughter. No, not him, but Kobort Emmet'B; that's the fellow; his dying spoocb." Judge Drown Joined in tho laughter that followed aud, after hearing further testimony, reserved his decision.

Tho ghosts which used to hannt the old Ryerson cottage on Adolphl street, between Park and Flushing avenues, wUI havo to nud anothor abiding place, as the house is being torn down today. Mr. HamlDon Tomb, of 165 Park avenue, is the principal actor in tho demolition and John McCaffrey, Joseph Hay and William Donaghy are assisting him, while a descendant of tho Ryorson's, bearing tho family name, Is a spectator. The honso was built 150 years ago aud Is of the old Dutch farm cottage variety, familiar enough to Brooklynites. It Is one storied, with room upstairs under the long sloping eaves which ended front and roar in a veranda.

Tho front and sides are covered with shingles two foot long and half an Inch thick, and tba bricks of tho big chimney came over from Holland and are much smallor than the modern kind. The demollshers havo made somo extraordinary finds. Under the roof, betweon tho old rafters, they came across a cavalry sabre with tho date 1055 engraved under tho hilt, A horse pistol two foet long and flint locked wa3 found undor the floor of tho second story and a coin dated 1665 was discovered under tho first floor. A potrlfled squirrel or rat thoro were dlsputos over Its Identity was aiso found and plenty of curious rubbish and bozos. Tho house has a queer history, only a portion of which is known.

It was built and occupied by tho Ryorsons 150 years ago. Their farm ox tended then for half a mile on each sldo and and the river camo within sixty foot of tho cottage door. Then the premises passed into the possession of tho Hunter family, of which ex Mayor Hunter Is a scion, by reason of the marrlago of a Miss Ryerson to a Mr. Hus.itor. Fifty years ago a Scotchman rented it and mado it a sporting resort and gambling houso, calling it tho Tarn O'Shanter.

A great many New York men used to visit him crossing the river in row bouts. After he left it was taken, about forty years ago by au Irishman named O'Kleliy. Its name grew worse ond worse. Several murders aro said to havo beon committed lu It during this part of Its history aud ouo koepor committed sulcldo by hanging himself to a beam in an upper room. In 1867 it wns bought by Henry Moonoy, who was on tho spot this morning looking at tho dost ruction of his old homo.

He said When I camo hero lirst, twonty years ago, the neighbors there wero vory few of thom told mo I would not stay a night In tho house. They said tho ghosts wero as thick as sand. Maybe they wero, but I livod thoro sovoral years and novor was troubled. Maybe it was because I always carried a pistol loaded with a silver sixpence, which will kill any ghost 'then, agaiu, I uever cut down the ropo tho miser hung himself with. I left It hanging from tho beam, and it was there to day till ono of the men hero cut it down." FOR CRIMINAL LIBBiL.

A Well Known ttrooltlrn Man Arrcmtcd attlie Instance of a Horkimor County Agent. This morning Delavan Cook, the sheriff of Herkimer County, N. arrived in town, armed with a warrant for the arrest of James Deusmon of 513 Myrtlo avenue, this city, who fs the gononil agont for tho Stato lor tho salo of tho Remington typo wrltiug machine manufactured in Illon. In the complalut on which tho warrant was Issued, and which is signed by Lucian S. Crandall, of Cortland, N.

it Is set forth that iu 3883 Mr. Doasmoro wrote to tho Moisra, Remington a letter in which tho character ot tho said Craudall was sorlously ro fleeted upon. Tho sheriff, aftor reaching Brooklyn and having compiled with the usual formullth's, turued over his warrant to Defective Short, by whom Donsmoro wbb arrestod at his ofllco. The prisoner was taken beforo Justice Walsh and by thai magistrate was sont to tho District Attorney's office. He was subsequently taken into tho Supreme Court, whore bail was accepted.

Spoaklng to a reporter, Mr. Donsmoro said About four years ago this man Crandall anpllod to the Messrs. Remington for tho agency for tho sale of their machines throughout a certain portion of tbe Stato. I heard ihat ho had done so and wrote to the Remington saying that I did not think he was a Qt persou to do business for thom. This letter was written In the ordinary course of business, in entirely good faith, and was regarded by me as a privileged communication.

On wiiat I said In that letter ho basis his chargo of criminal libel. Why ho should havo deferred his action to this lato day 1 am at a loss to kuow." In all probability tho matter will bo decided in tho courts of Horkimor County. COURT CALENDARS.

Mayor Whitney Won't Act in a Vindictive Spirit He Sees the Prevailing: Tendency and Thinks the Approach Will Ultimately Reach a Point Near the City Hall Square. The position token by Mayor Whitnoy in the matter of the extension of the approach to tho bridge to Concord street, he alone being against It, has led to expressions of belief among tho gossips about tho city buildings that his Houor will not look kindly upon tho Brooklyn trustees when he comes to take part In tho oppolntments.of their sue coosora. In a short time the Mayor, Controller and Auditor will bs called upon to mako eight appointments for Brooklyn, and the supposition is that moBt ot tho incumbents would like to bo retained. The report Is that the Controller is in sympathy with the Mayor and will accordingly act with him In the appointments. Tho difference of opinion between tho Mayor and the present appointed trustees Is so marked that the impression has gone forth that his Honor will insist upon tho selection of men who will bo iu accord with him.

To day the matter was brought to Mr. Whitnoy's attention, and ho was asked if he proposod to chango tho Brooklyn representation la the Bridge Board. Ho seemed surprlsod at tho suggestion and answered; I shall not do anything of the kind. I am not going to act In a vindictive spirit in any way, manner or shape. If any changes are made they will bo made not because the vlows ot tho trustees differ from my own.

I don't know that there will be any changes. I have no idea that there will be. The fact is I bad not thought of tho matter at all. Until I road It iu the papers It had not come to my mind that tho terms of tho trustees wore nearly up. 1 repeat that 1 am not going to make any change bo cause their views differ from mine.

I can see the tendency of this bridgo movoment, and am convinced that tho approach will ultimately reach a point near the City Hall square. But the subject before tho trustees the other day was sprung upon mo suddenly. Iliad not seen the report, did uot know what it was and hardly knew they were going to make a report. Whon I looked It over Just before tho organization of the meeting they told that tho only reason for the extension was to have room for tho storing of the cars. I said I (bought they could got enough room for this purpose by going In the middle of the block, where they could buy property for at least one half what it would cost tho other ways.

That was tho reason I opposed the matter. It was simply a question of economy with me. I am perfectly willing to do anything that must be dono to afford additional facilities, but I waut to do It as cheaply as possible. The peoplo are tuxed for the Interest on the bridge bonds aud we have to put in tho budget every year $150,000 as a sinking fund to moet the bonds. Now, wo want to get somo rovonue from tue bridge, if possible, but if they koop extending it, and so forth, it will be a good many years before we will got it." It may be remembered that ono objection presented by his Houor ti entering upon a great expense for extousion was that Brooklyn was still under tho ban of the constitutional debtamondment and could not now issue bonds.

As a matter of fact, tho city within certainly a month or two will bo without the ban of this provision, and considerable way out, too, bocauso of tho paying off of bonds and the increase ot assessment valuations. Tho attention wns to day called to the situation, and ho said: Well, ovoji if wo wore within the limit or tho amoudment, we don't want to borrow money if wo can avoid it.

Senator Vodder lead the attack, char terlzlng tho bill as a wrong on Brooklyn, Now York and tho entire State. He believed that some futuro Hugo might write of It as tho "History of a Crime." Senator Grlswold amended to oxompt tho County of Kings from tho action of tho bill. Jacob Worth said tho bill, If It becamo a law, would onhanco Kings County property more than auy county In the State. If the county was exempted from its provisions, tho exemption would depreciate its property $1,000,000. Gravesend, ho said, was the wealthiest town In the Stato because of tho race coursos.

The hotel and railroad men all wanted the bill, and If It wasn't for the benefit to accrue to Kings County the bill wouldn't have half the backing It had. Ho didn't want his motive Impugned, and that ho votod, ho said, for the measure and against Mr. Griswold's amoudment because tho majority of his constituents wanted it.

Slocum aud Genoral James Jourdau asked for the passage of such a bill he saw no crime, no wrong iu it And should voto for it Mr. Grlswold asked if Goneral Jourdnn was not interosiod In Coney Island railroads. Mr. Pierce said it was a poor tribute to the integrity of Genoral Jourdan to Intimate that he had selllsh interests because ho chanced to bo receiver of a great corporation. It was time that the city should bo roliovod from tho domination ol crankism.

He meant tho others. Mr. Sloan thought they'd better review the old saturnalia and inaugurate a thirty day debauch in tho Stato of Now York. He was uot gratified iu this bit of sarcasm. Mr.
