He said Trrr-cross-examlnatlon that the-records the hospital did not show that Flnellte was of unsound mind. Lawyer Ooodhart who acted for Flnellte. on redirect examination Induced Dr.

Covert to say he had advised Flnelits's family to employ Dr. Charles L. Dana, an -expert on Insanity, to attend FlneUte. Dr. Dana was the next witness.

He testified that he did not think that a person, who had sustained such Injuries aa Flnellte had was competent to Indorse notes thirty days later. He had examined the defendant as recently as last Tuesday and had due-covered evidences of mental disorders, such as -defective eyesight and hearing, dlxxiness, and trembling of his hands. The defendant's wife testified to her hus-bands sleeplessness and sufferings. Dr. George W.

Jacoby testified that from tBe manner In which FlneUte had given his testimony he was or the, opinion that he was simulating Insanity. This testimony was ruled out and Dr. Jacoby finally admitted that he could not say whether the defendant waa of sound mind or not On croas-examinatloa tbe witness said he bad confidence In the opinions of Drs. Dana and Covert and that the symptoms described by them might Indicate mental shock and unsound mental condition. After the lawyers had summed up.

WASHINGTON. Nov. Herbert gave a hearing- this afternoon to Contractor Gillls, who Is building the big; dry dock at the New-Tork Navy Yard. Mr. Gillls waa summoned before the Secretary several months ago to show cause why his contract should not be annulled, and upon assurances which were deemed satisfactory at that time he was permitted to continue the work on probation.

Reports from the officers charged with Inspecting the dock have been for a long time full of complaints, and Commodore Matthews, chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, has been wholly dissatisfied with the poor progress made. He has favored canceling- the contract but Secretary. Herbert has hesitated to take radical action, because be has been advised that tha contractor's bondsmen cannot be held responsible, the location of the dock having been changed since the contract was made. The work la now said to be at least a year behind the contract time, and Capt Asaer-son of the New-York yard has Informed the Navy Department that In his opinion. Mr.

Gillls wllll not be able to finish the dock within reasonable time. If at alt It Is considered almost certain that the contract will be canceled. Naval Ulcere Interested In the matter say that Mr. Gillls waa notified two weeks ago to prepare for to-day's hearing', and that the contract would have been taken from Mr. Gillls some time ago, but It was thought better to wait until after the election.

At the conclusion of the conference today Secretary Herbert withheld hla decision, there being- a dispute as to the tacts of the case, and Civil Engtneer Endicott was ordered to the New-York Navy Yard to Inspect the work and report to the Secretary.

On the recommendation of Superln- dent Byrnes, O'Toole was removed from trie command of the Fifth Precinct, and back to the command of the Essex Market Police Court squad. A. copy of the decision of the Court of Appeals in the ease of Patrolman John F. cheli of the Sixth Precinct who was dismissed from the department for being absent without leave for eight days, and whose reinstatement was ordered by the neral Term of the Supreme Court, was received. The Court of Appeals, Justice iett writing the opinion, unanimously affirmed the decision of the General Term ering the reinstatement of the officer.

Third Avenue and One Hundred and Fifteenth Street and was robbed, or thought was robbed, by an unknown man. At his request the clerk called for a policeman.

Frank Converse of the East One Hundred and Fourth Street Station, answered the summons. According to Robinson's story. Converse refused to arrest the suspected maa. and when Robinson insisted, the policeman threw him down stairs, hit him ln the eye. and took him to the(statlon.

clubbing- him over the head all the way. At the station, Robinson said, the Sergeant refused to hear his story, and he was kicked Into a cell by the doorman. Later he was taken out his head was held under cold water, and the doorkeeper threw water on him from a hose, while a number oi policemen stood around laughing at him. Presently, he said, one of the policemen asked him if he could fight and struck him a blow on the ear which knocked him down. He was picked up, and several of the policemen, he declared, used him as a football.

Robinson's saturated clothes and battered head corroborated part of his story. Converse said he had arrested the prisoner for making a disturbance and had struck him only when he resisted arrest He admitted that drunken prisoners put under the hydrant to sober them up. Justice.

I Nov.

four-masted schooner Massasott of Taunton. Mass, Capt. H. Babbitt, went ashore on Long- Beach shortly before 4 o'clock this morning during a heavy snowstorm. The sea was running high at the time the vessel struck, and it broke over her In such quantities as to drive the Captain and his wife and crew of eleven men into the lower They were an drenched to the skin and suffered considerably from expos-' ure before being- rescued by th Long Beach life-saving crew.

The Massasoit was loaded with 2,000 tons of -coal, and left. Newport News Wednes-day bound for Fall River. Everything went w-iUuntU last night, when the wind began to freshen and reefs were taken la aU the schooner's sails. The wind kept getting-stronger, and soon developed Into a hurricane. Then snow began falling thick and fast It was impossible to see any distance ahead of the vessel, aad the rolling aad plunging of the schooner indicated that it was to be a hard night Frequently examinations were made to see if she was making any water, as the Captain feared that the heavy straining would open- some of her seams.

She kept tight, and preparations having been made to withstand the gale, the crew felt comparatively safe. Capt Babbitt supposed he waa well off the Long Island shore, but the heavy northeast wind was gradually taking him nearer and nearer th land. -i The storm prevented the lookout from eelng any Jlghts on shore, and the crew were not aware of their peril until the cry, Breakers ahead!" waa heard above the roaring of the gale. The men Jumped to their stations at once and made every effort to head the schooner Capt Babbitt ordered soundings to be made, and it was net long before he realized that his vessel was doomed. Some of the crew were set at work getting the schooner's boats ready for launching, as the Captain could not tell Just what part of the coast he was approaching, and It might be necessary to abandon the schooner as soon aa she struck.

The schooner plunged onward, every one trying to make out the coast line. Suddenly there was a grating sound as her keel struck a sandbar. The vessel trembled for a moment and then- was forced on a little further. While she was working- her way Into the bed of sand, all hands gathered about the boats, ready to launch them at a moment's notice.

The letter acknowledred the kind an courteous favor of the committee, and continued as follows: would say la reply that an the member ef our association, to th best ot our know led ire. aav at -all time been willing to rectiTy any grievances i evils which needed rectifying, whea presented to them by their respective workmen. A short Urn previous to the present suike demand was mad upon as for increased wage, and. recognising the necessity for granting tbe earn, we did so after th nn is i pariey. and supposed that everything was satisfactory la tn workmen who made th demands.

A short time thereafter, without word or want. lag. ur cutters left us. Without presenting any complaint and without causa, as far a wa know, giving as a reason that their action was take in sympathy with the operator who had lelt Ih-rtr positions two day previously. PoalUooa we have been able to Partly by members who have seceded from their union and partly by others, who wer equally proficient, yet not members of tn Cutter Union.

We hav to a great extent supplied tb place of th presaeraT The only element which la causing any difficulty that we know of la th operators.

It should not be interpreted a being antagonistic to th good help whom are willing to relnatate and willing to keep la our employ as lang as they faithfully perform the duties ot their respective positions, and whom we have always been willing to pay la accordance wit their skill. Tn present stria waa Inaugurated without warning.

Most of our workmen were making excellent wages, ranging from SIS to tjO and 0 per week; not In Isolated cases, but in tha general average such waa the 'amount of money they Individually earned. The letter states that th association is not antagonistic to organised labor, but that for various reasons It Is well for workmen to recognla that their Interests are Identical with those of the merchants, and that their grievances fairly presented wIU always receive fair consideration In declining- the offer of media Uon, the; thank Mr. Low for his offer aad say: We do not think that mediation oa your parf wiU bring about such results as wet who are conversant with the character of th men who work la our industry, desire. Our doors are open for them to return to work, aad ail who are out will be re-employed. Daniel W.
