A 1 1 THE SON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1889. GREENWALD ON THE WITNESS STAND. Dentes All Knowledge of the Murder of He Lyman B. Weeks- the Evidence In, the testimony in the case of John Greenwald, charged with murder of Lyman 8. Weeks in Brookiyn on the night of March 15.

1887, was submitted resterday. No now light was thrown on the mysterious tragedy either by the prosecution or by the defence. Greenwald took the witness chair with great coolness, and in a clear, ringing voice emphatically denied all knowledge of the murder. He was born in Germany, he said, and his real name was Johann Theodore Wild. He was A tailor by occupation, and he worked at his trade after coming to this country, six years AgO.

On the afternoon of March 15. 1887. he registered at the Phenix Hotel, 53 Bowery. and went to bed there at 11 P. M.

He was not in Brooklyn at all that night. He had given Detective, Zundt a doscrip: tion of the man to whom he had sold the Prince Albert cont he WAS alleged to have worn on the night of the murder. He admitted that soon after his arrival in this country he bad been sent to the penitentiary for carrying a revolver and a dagger. which he had brought with him, from Germany. He pawned a 22-calibre revolver in February.

1887, and gave the ticket, he said. to Detective Lyman. When arrested Greenwald said that he had never worked in Brooklyn. This he admitted yesterday was untrue. as he had worked at the tailoring business there shops.

Detective Lyman swore that Greenwald had not given him the ticket for the revolver. but that it waR found on Greenwald's person when arrested. Witness had found jimmy in closet back of Greenwald's bed at the hotel in the Bowery. Detective Zundt testified that he WAS never able to find Greeuwald's Prince Albert coat. or the man to whom he said he had sold it.

The case was summed up by lawyer Kinsley for the defence, and District Attorney RidgWAY for the prosecution. Judge Moore will charge the jury this morning. ALL INFANTS TOGETHER. Naughty Quarrel of the Wason Children, Man and Wife. Mrs.

Florielle Wason, the seventeen-yearold wife of George Ernest Wason, was bofore Judgo Patterson yesterday in a dark plush cloak trimmed with fur. Abe Hummel made an application in her behalf for alimony at the rate of $250 a month and a counsel fee of rensonable amount, to enable her to defend the suit brought against her by her husband for absolute divorce. Mrs. Wason. who is the daughter of William A.

Presby, a White street merchant. was but 14 when. in October, 1895, she was married to Mr. Wason. He has just attained his majority.

They had two children, one of whom died. The other is a boy about 3 years old, who is now with its grandmother in Boston. It was about the custody of this child that habeas corpus proceedings were brought sevoral months ago by the mother, but the child was taken out of the State bofore the papers could be served. Wason accuses his wife of intimacy with a well-known actor. and she makes a counter charge against him implicating her former maid.

Both deny each other's accusations. She. avers that he is worth at least a half million, and says that their household expenses amounted to about $500 a month. He says they were $500 a month while her relatives lived with them. which was most of the time.

He says he is $20.000 in debt. and that the money his grandfather left him has been put in the hands of a trustee, who pays him only $1,200 a year. His wife, he declared. is unft to have the custody of the child. because she never manifested any love for it.

and. in fact, said she did not like it because it looked like him. During the latter part of their marital career in this city, he asserted, she was in the habit of remaining away all night time and again. and refused to explain whore she had been or with whom. Decision was reserved.

DEFEAT OF THE COFFEE CLIQUE. The Jobbers and Merchants Win In the Election of Governors, One of the most interesting days in the three years' history of the Coffee Exchange ended at dusk yesterday in a bilarious whoop of vlotory from the jobbers and merchants. They had made a clean sweep of the annual election, and buokets of champagne christened the glorification. The jobbers and merchants and their wholesale patrons, the big grocery houses, started the campaign with a cry against haphazard gambling in coffee and the fictitious per values made by speculative methods. In deference to their wishes, the Nominating run for President this time.

Mr. J. H. Committee nominated Air. John F.

Scott to Parker for Vice- President and Mr. James N. Jarvis for Treasurer were also nominations that pleased the jobbers. But they declared that they would make things warm for Leander Waterbury, Carl Mayer. W.

H. Kirkland, and George Drakely, nominated as Governors by the speculative element. The independents opposed these four with Henry Hentz. Benjamin G. Arnold, Frederick T.

Sherman, and Aubrey Bennett. The result was: Hentz. 105 168 95 Sherman 08 Bennett. Drakely. 127 The winners, with Louis Seligsberg and Frank Morton, are the Governors for two years, and 8.

Sondheim and William Thompson were elected Governors to serve one year. The jobbers ascribe their victory to the efforts of Joseph John O'Donohue, king of the coffee market: Henry Hentz. the Disraeli the fight, and the emphatic demand for reform.

ball since a non-Italian Pope has sat upon St. Peter's throne. It was easy to foresee that the events of 1870, which deprived Papacy of its temporal would make a profound change in the power. and customs of the Roman court: but up uses the present time no one had thought that to these changes would be so penetrating as to render possible the election of a Pope outside of the Italian nationality. Now, the way in which Leo XIII has gradually distributed the purple among the prelates of the divers nationalities would seem to prove that the present Pope.

without wishing to render inevitable the elevation of a foreign Pontiff, desires to have it believed that this mutation, so full of incalculable consequences, has at least become probable. In fact. of the sixty -one existing Cardinals only thirty-two are Italians: the other twentynine are foreigners. It will thus be seen that the distance between the two elements is scarcely perceptible. Among the Cardinals who are not Italian there are eight French.

four Spanish, three English, three German, three Portuguese, two Hungarian, two Austrian, one one Irish, one Pole, one Canadian. and one American, When the Conclave meets. if the present proportions are maintained, as now seems more than probable. it would require simply an agreement among the foreign electors and slight deiection in the Italian ranks to assure the elevation of a non-Italian Pope. This state of affairs can, thorefore, justify the alarms that are beginning to be felt among the high clergy and the peninsular episcopacy.

who would naturally consider such an event as a blow against the privilege they have so long enjoyed. I happened to talk this morning with one of these prelates, who, in 8 friendly conversation, gave me some biographical details the most prominent Cardinals. "We have." be "about fifteen papabili Cardinals. You know that we designate under this name those prelates who have certain qualifications, and who might, if the circumstances were favorable. combine at a given moment the suffrages of the majority.

However, it generally happens that the choice of the Holy Father falls upon an unexpected candidate, and we have a proverb which says that the one who enters the Conclave 88 8 Pope comes out a Cardinal. But, apart from the surprises that are always possible, you can reduce to the total I have mentioned the number of those who will struggle for the suffrages of the majority. It is singular to notice that there are scarcely five or six Italian Cardinals who are now considered as available candidates for the succession of Leo while the number 18 almost double among the foreign Cardinals who may reasonably conceive hopes on the same subject. 'Among the Italians who can aspire to the pontificate we must place in the front rank the dean of the order of Bishops, Cardinal Sacconi. You will recall that the Cardinal Assembly is divided into three orders: Bishops, priests, and deacons.

There are now in office five Bishops, forty -three priests. and thirteen deacons. The dean the order of Bishops is in some sort the hierarchical chiet of the Pope's council, and exercises an influence which, at the moment of voting. might throw the balance in his favor. Sacconi, in spite of his ago, is a man whose company and advice are sought.

Although 80 years old, he is still robust. Born at Montalto, which WAS also the birthplace of Sixtus the Napoleon of Popes, he has passed nearly all of his career in the nunciatures, and knows all the secrets of diplomacy. He has been intrusted with missions in Piedmont, Tuscany, Bavaria, and Austria, where in 1855 he was one of the principal authors of the concordat made between Pope Piue IX, and the Emperor Francis Joseph his last diplomatio post was Nuncio at Paris. He is said to be inclined toward concessions, but you know that in our language this word has a very relative value, and that there are compromises to which no Pontiff would ever subscribe. After the dean, the Cardinal who has most power and influence in the sittings of the Apostolic Bee is the Camerlingo.

During the interregnum he is the prelate with whom rests the pontifical authority. He is a sort of provisional Pope, or regent, who momentarily exercises the pontificate, and who is charged with keeping order in the Conclave. A man who knows how to take advantage of the situation can certainly reap incalculable benefits from la such in a an office, and if he has any claims position to disarm all his rivals. The present Pope was Camerlingo at the time of his by elevation. These functions are now performed montese, Oardinal who Oreglia is di considered Santo to Stefano, a Pledbe lacking in and consistency, to have a great deal of ambition the but very little talent.

bas shown great skill. The Cardinal Vicar, by reason of the voluntary captivity in which the Pope pleases to romain. Is, in some sort. the official executor of the, pontifcal policy, and the real Pope visible to the eyes of the faithful and the authorities. It is he who communicates semi-officially with the political Govern- ment, and he is bound to do so in such a wAy as to obtain the advantages desired, but without retaining any trace of the contact.

which would compromise the integrity of the claims of the Holy See. Now. Parocchi has known marvellously well how to get over these diffculties. At the time of the pontifcal jubilee. for example, he succeeded in concluding with the Roman police the conditions by which the authorities could guarantee the security of the pilgrimages und the jubilee solemnities without dorogating from the traditional rigidness of the Vatican.

However, I do not yet see that any of the Cardinals whom I have just mentioned aro al)solutely sure of success. Curiously enough it is in the ranks of the foreign Cardinais that are to be found the candidates who, by their brilliant talents, the prestige of their person. or the power of their relations, offer some chance of imposing themselves on the Conclave: and it is here that we see how strangely the present Sacred College is composed. You quite understand that in my quality of Italian prelate I experionre no satisfaction in making this avowal, but tacts are lacte, and there is no use in densing them. Hohenlohe, for example.

with his innocent air. is working vory seriously in his own behalf. His German origin assures him the support of the empire, which is not to be disdained. It is indisputable that if he is still in the land of the living. Prince Bismarck will do everything he can at the time of the meetins of the next Conclave to have the tiara placed upon a Teutonic head, and his support will be given only in favor of Hobenlohe, who is his confidant, co-worker.

and friend. Pius who often erred. was strangely mistaken about the value of this Cardinal, and often made him the butt of his jokes. He scornfully spoke of him a9 a flute plaver, because, like every German who respects himself. Hohenlohe is a passionate lover of music, and shows a sinzular predilection for this instrument.

But melomania is not a warrant of incapacity in the other branches of human netivity. Achilles played the lyre, and Napoleon, without being a musician. adored music. The fast is that Hohenlohe has been one of the principal agents of the Roman Catholic policy in late years, and was the cause of the runturo of the relations between Germany and the Vatican: but it is also to him that belongs the honor of having rendered possible the recent reconciliation. In short.

Hohenlohe is A competitor with whom his rivals will have to count. Ledochowaki would niso have been able to become a very papabile man if, after his expulsion from the Bishopric of Posen, he known how to profit by the situation. and had grouped in his favor all that it would be possible to employ at the moment of voting against the German Benjamin. But he became an enemy of France. whom he accused of having sacrificed his native Poland.

80 that he gives us the singular spectacle of a man who might be Pope and who, however, would be powerless to draw three votes around his name unless the Holy Spirit should aid him. "The French nationality in the Sacred College counts two representatives who, from divers points of view. possess the requisite qualities for a candidate, but one of whom. Cardinal do Lavigerie, has compromised his chances by taking too militant an attitude upon the colonial ground in favor of his nation. This course will rally against him not only the German influence, which is systematically hostile to all French candidacy, but the English Cardinals, and a part of the Italian prelates.

Cardinal de Lavigerie is a superior man. learned, enterprieing. and active, and would well reproduce the figure of the Popes of the martial epoch. But with a view of making sure of the unlimited aid of his Government. he has placed the organization of the missions under his charge too exclusively at the service of his country: he treats the Italian monks established in Tunis as veritable enemies.

so that with him the citizen devoted to his country has too strongly effaced the Catholie priest. By his neutral Cardinal Bonaparte has known better how to husband his possibilities. He 16 pious, charitable, has a cultivated mind. loves the arts, and his asceticism is not without distinguished manners and perfectly regular conduct. The ties that unite him to the Bonaparte family, would, perhaps, be an obstacle to his ambition under the present eircumstances, but should these circumstances become modifled, what to-day constitutes a difficulty would be changed for him into an advantage.

Among the Austrian Cardinals Simor is not a negligible quantity. He made the great mistake, in the eyes of the extreme party, of taking a stand among the adversaries of the dogma of infallibility: but in the ecclesiastical faults of this kind quickly enjoy the benefit of limitation, so much so that three yoars after the Council Pius IX. did not hesitate to confer upon him the Cardinal dignity. Simor is a true Magyar, grand seleneur from head to foot, riob, lavish. and knowing bow to keep up a noble style of living.

The house of Austria pushes him, and it is he without doubt who will be charged during the next vacancy to exercise, if need be, the right of exclusion with the Austrian Crown is invested. Now. the exercise of this prerogative gives an extraordinary power to the Cardinal who is inwith it. for he can use it to destroy all the candidacies that he wishes to sweep nside to open the route for himself. Cardinal Mihailovic, Bishop of Agram, is also in a fair way of becoming at the right moment an acceptable candidate: unfortunately he is considered AS a Panslavist in disguise, and in the present condition of Europe this title is not calculated to faoilitato the chances of the one who wears It.

as Russia in her quality of a schismatic nation can exert only a very indirect influence in the Conclave. As for Austria. she will always reserve her preferences for Simor, although Mihallovie is one of her Cardinals. On the English side there are two Cardinals who are perhaps, destined to be better than simple electors on the first occasion. Newman, belonging to the Congregation of the Oratory, is one of the physiognomies that understands how to suddenly come out of the shade.

His old age is not positively an obstacle, because in general young candidates are not easily preferred, for reasons that you know as well as do. However, I will not conceal from you that. in my opinion, if an English Cardinal has any chance of succeeding, it is Manning. The pures' reproach him for his Protestant origin. and pretend that at the bottom of his Catholic faith there still remains a certain leaven of free inquiry, But he has totally abjured this origin, and there are few prelates who can boast of having rendered to the Roman Church such important services as those on which he has the right to pride himself.

The conversion movement that he has influenced and directed in the ranks of the British aristocracy favor of Catholicism constitutes an inappreciable title, and it is certainly to htm that is due the reestablishment of the episcopal hierarchy in Europe. At the last Conclave he was already mentioned. and I know of more than one Italian Cardinal who was disposed to give him his vote. But besides the repugnances that inspire all candidacies foreign to the majority of Italian Cardinals. he will have the ardent and absolute opposition of Germany, who will never consent to allow an Englishman to mount upon St.

Peter's throne. At Berlin they remember that Adrian the only Englishman who ever wore the tiara. forced the Emperor Barbaroesa to hold his stirrups for him in front of St. Laurent's Church at Viterbo." I see, according to what you say," I remarked, that among all the foreign Cardinals who have vague and undetermined chances. there is not one whose figure now stands prominently out from among his eventual competitors and bids fair to distance them." That is because I have not yet named the one who, according to my opinion, would be capable at the psychological moment of commanding the majority of suffrages, if it be true that a foreign Cardinal ought to triumph." Who is the Cardinal whom you have kept for the bonne bouche Don't be skeptical when I tell you that it is Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore.

He is the prelate of whom the least is said in public. and precisely the one who might conciliate all interesta and all. aspirations, The day when the leaders of the different faGtions-you know that under this title are grouped the Cardinals who have a certain following -come to an understanding on the expediency of choosing a foreign Popo the dimlculties will begin. For it is evident that the four or live nationalities that are to-day preponderating will finally exclude themselves, and the impossibility of coming to an agreement on one of the Cardinals belonging to these nationalities may bring the majority to the idea of electing a non Italian Pope. The American candidate can alone rally around him all the other foreign Cardinals, precisely because he represents in some sort A neutral nationality in presence of the Old World nationalities.

What I say to you here is not an utterance of my own personal impression. I have often heard during the last year or so the next pontifleal election discussed in private company, and the name of Cardinal Gibbons has been pronounced many times in my presence by memthe Sacred College. He has onlv one drawback: he is too young. and, generally speaking. the Cardinals do not like candidates who promise to remain too long in office.

But the hypothesis of an American Pope is not na extravagant as it may appear to you at the frat glance. When, some months before his death. President Lincoln sent an agent to Rome to ask for the nomination of an American Cardinal. Antonelli was thunderstruck and be. lieved that the envoy the President was a lunatic.

But Piue who was far-seeins. accepted the proposition, and eleven years afterward what had appeared to be a piece of folly to Cardinal Antonelli became an accomplished fact. Archbishop McCloskey of Now York having been raised to the purple in the Consistory of May 25, 1875. Now. when a country has a Cardinal it can have a Pope.

The important thing is to Biographer Me Laughlin Won't Talk. J. Fairfax McLaughlin of the Surrogate's office was re.icent yesterday concerning his suit against the widow of John Kelly tor He would not say anything about is in faes. It is understood that a bill of particulars bas been furnished, and that the claim is based upon literary work for the former Tammany leader. in the shape of preparing speeches and the like.

The latest suspects are the two Wabash roads. The Wabash Western has been accused of shading passenger rates, and its President, 0. D. Ashley, was out with a statement yesterday, in which he said: I have telegraphed for the facts about the reported cutting of passenger rates by the Wabash Western. There has been no cutting of rates that I am aware of, and it any commissions are being paid, it is because other lines insist on doing it.

So far as the Wabash Western is concerned. it is very desirous and anxious to have the practice of paying commissions to agents stopped or regulated by the new association, 50 that only a fair compensation should be paid for the service. The Wabash system east of the Mississippi River of which Gen. John McNulta is receiver. has been getting into print as baving cut enstbound freight rates.

Hon. Russell Sage is largely interested in the property, and to him Gen. McNulta telegraphed yesterday As follows: The published report that the Wabash is cutting castbound rates from St. Louis is not true. We are ing published tariff rates in all directions evers where, and have not.

and will not. deviate from the strict terms of the agreement to restore aud maintain rates. Please hare a denia: of the report made. The railroad men are evidently keeping very good watch over each other, but not as formerly with the view of getting evidence upon which they can base a cut rate. The situation is more serious now.

and the road that reduces rates on the ground that it has evidence that 80110 one of its competitors is cutting will be called upon by its associates, if not by the Inter-State Commerce Commission, to furnish proof. A short time the trunk line passenger agents in this vicinity stipulated with the ticket brokers that thoy must sell all tickets at tariff rates over their counters, It was agreed that the moment any of the brokers were caught violating this rulo the rond in question would withdraw tickets from the brokers' office altogether. There have been plenty of Instances in which travellers have secured tickets from brokers at less then the regular railroad rates, but it is now said that the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, which in past has created no ond of trouble among the other lines by offering tempting commissions. is tho one to withdraw its tickets from the brokers' offices. President Sloan's ideas about commissione are well known to the agents, as he has several ts nes given vent to orders about maintaining un.ormity of rates.

At a meeting on of the Executive Committee of the New York Contral Railroad H. Walter Webb, Vice- President of the Wagner Palace Car Company. was appointed assistant to President Depow in place of J. Tillinghast. resigned.

Mr. Webb's duties will concern passenger transportation, and be will be virtually Third Vice-President. Not a year passes that the brakemen of the Lackawanna road don't have several social events. One of them took place on Wednesday night nt Seranton, and Joseph and James Greenhouse and Edward Scheibe went over as delegates from Hoboken to superintend the mysteries of the ball. The brakes were not put on until an early bour yesterday morning.

About 300 were present. Yesterday Chief Wilkison of the Scranton Lodge showed the visitors the features of the town and took them down into the mines. H. S. Prince, formorly of the Wabash, has been appointed general passenger agent in Detroit of the Ontario Despatch and the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburgh road.

The general passenger agents of the transcontinental lines have issued a circular on commissions, the peculiarity of which is the stamping of the date Jan. 15. 1889. over an old one of April 1. 1888.

an evidence that the lines in question can And nothing better than to repledge themselves to the agreement which they kept only A week last year. The agreement fixes the commissions which are to be paid to the agents of Eastern lines and outsiders genorally at $3 on first class and $2 on secondclass tickets to San Francisco, and $4 for the round trip. The agents of the trunk lines are not supposed to accept commissions. but when they do the offence is winked at. The recent war in rates between the transcontinental lines brought the commiesions up to $10 on second-class tickets.

and even higher in some cases. The new agreement is looked upon by railroad men generally as not likely to last much longer than before. The travel to Florida is quite as heavy as last winter. The steamers could not well nave carried more than they did carry in the past week. The Northern agents of the Southern railroads report that their earnings fall but little below the corresponding period of last year.

A few evenings ago Col. Wm. B. Wilson, superintendent of the freight department on the Pennsylvania road at Kensington, Philadelphia. addressed the members of the United Service Club of Philadelphia on Glimpses of the Military Telegraph, and of Abrabam Col.

Wilson was one of the originators of the military telegraph, and for a long time was President Lincoln's telegraph operator. William Leighton. road foreman on the Pennsylvania road, Harrisburg division, has received the second premium for the flfth consecutive time. He has also received the Arst premium, amounting to $110, for having the best piece of road between Harrisburg and Newport. a distance of thirty miles.

Mr. Leighton was a road foreman on the Cumberland Valley road twelve years, and on the Shenandoah road two years before engaging with the Pennsylvania road. Coleman of Cornwall. owner of the Lobanon and Cornwall road, is also owner and President of the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West Railroad in Florida, and on New Year's Day he leased the Florida Southern road. He controls over 600 miles of railroad.

Mr. Coleman is in Florida giving his personal attention to a thorough reorganization of the system. The Cornwall and Lebanon road is building a tank at Lebanon with a capacity of 40,000 gallons. It is intended to supply the engines. Superintendent Neff of the Cornwall Railroad, and Charles Lemon.

one of the company's civil engineers, are now making a careful search through Lebanon and Dauphin counties in the direction of Annville, Palmyra, Derry, Swatara, and Middletown with the hone of Anding a favorable route for a proposed road to be bullt by the Cornwalllroad. The engineers will make a survey after the work now in progress between Mount Hope and Lancaster is finished. 11 Superintendent Neff and the engineer make favorable report. If this road should be built it will be a dangerous rival of the Middletown and Hummelstown road, which is now building.

No efforts were spared to-day to break the stock market. The machinery controlled by the bears was used to put in circulation before the opening of business predictions of lower prices. An anonymous formulator of the sentiments of the bears tried to secure the fulfilment of their predictions by remarking oracularly, and as it upon authority, that the leading bulls favored a reaction, and would make no attempt to check the decline that was in progress at the olose yesterday, All the prominance possible was given to the overstocked condition of the anthracite coal trade, to the efforts that Pennsylvania politicians are making to compel the coal companies to compete with each other, and to the reports of a reduction in rates by the Wabash road. But in spite of the parade of these minor unfavorable developments and of the vigorous hammering the market was subjected to the greater part of the day, no permanent effect was produced upon prices. The campaign against values lacked the force that was lent to it yesterday by the liquidation by Chicago operators, Still the struggle was continued until the last hour.

when it must have been apparent to every one that all that had been accomplished was 8 thorough testing of the market. To the bulls this was, of course, gratifying, but to those who did the work, and who at the close of business stood more than A fair chance of having to pay the bills, the result must have been most disappointing. London contributed a little to the frmness of the undertone. but not much. The monetary situation at that contre seems much improved.

but confidence has still to be revived. The effective buying to-day was not readily traced. probably for the reason that it was for account of a large number of people who keep pretty close to the stock market, but are rather cautious about dipping into it. The sentiment of this class of dealers is gradually changing, and such a showing of gross earnings for the sec. ond weok in January 88 WAs made by several railroads to-day is calculated to Increase their courage.

Only one of the twelve compared unfavorable with last year. The character of the eelling was apparent to every one. The greater part of it was of the sort that requires another operation on the floor of the Exchange to complete the transaction. St. Paul common was again the leader in point of activity, and Lackawanna and Reading came next in that respect.

But none of them was as aggressively strong 85 Delaware and Hudson, which gained 2 per cent. Chicago Gas Trust and Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred were other specialties that made good records.
