Certain privileged members of the Metropolitan Police forcer of this suddenly-grown-vlr-tnoua town had glorious time yesterday lu tha matter of free' drlnka They were about the only claaa of men who seemed to experience no difficulty In drawing from' the hidden white-robed bars that variety of be (rare which maketh the heart diversely glad and which makes weak flesh afterward pay the piper. Bare and their wealth of golden fluid were upon the defensive all over the tows, but their aedactlTO Influences were not absolutely withheld from the seeking public. Active and thirsty pblice officers gathered Into their excise net the goodlynnmber of 132 unfortunate gentlemen who had allowed their innate generosity of heart te get the better of their aound common aeuse. Due notice was given by Superintendent Murray on Saturday that the excise law would be enforced to the last ominous aound In the laat letter of the statute on the following; day, and the incautious vendor of Intoxicants who per-aited In keeping his side door open did it in the full know Indite of the probable oonaequencea. He knew that Mayor Hewitt bud expreened himself as meaning business" in his effort to enforce the law, and he knew that extraordinary efforts would be made by the police to carry out tha Mayor's orders.

Karly in the day policemen in citizens' clothes began their work of tippling In the name of and for the benefit of the law. In order that no favors might be shown," officers attached to uptown precincts were transferred to those down town, and rice versa, and the members of the Steamboat Squad, ordinarily off duty on Sunday, were pressed into the glorious work. These vigilant persona aeemed tireless In their efforts to reap a heavy harveet of law-breakers, and it was poaltlvely wonderful bow aober they all were Ut night. That there may be no doubt about the crime, the officer drinks the crimlnal'a liquor before he arreata the criminal, and In some Instances the conscientious policemen found that only by drinking two glasses of whisky could they be made absolutely sure that they had atruck the right men. Abeolute layk of discrimination marked the dar'e work.

The aaered precinct of Delmont-eo's, of the Brunswick, and of other hotels were Invaded with aa much nonchalance aa the quiet peacefulnees of the Mulberry -street dive was disturbed. Wherever the officer eould get a drink, there he went. They started out early, and before noon the eity or that part of it which owns and operates bars-bad gotten slightly scared. Keyhole vigilance was redoubled, but the officer worked his way in through the side door and nabbed the Irresponsible bartender. The dreadful combination Whisky, policeman's shield, "I'm an officer," "You're my prisoner" wa played from Harlem to the Battery, and the 132 arrested saloon men feel that life baa but few charms left for them.

While the swell gentlemen who enahla.the swell waiters at Delmonlco's to exist were taking theirs vesterdav mominr nkin mi vot and in kaledoscopic forms Mr. Uenore, attached to (be Nineteenth Precinct, sat himself down at a marble-topped table in the cafe, and with aa much ease as be had at hia command under the circumstances ordered some Rhine win Mr Clement Kents, attached very much attached uoiiuoucv orougnt rt to mm and madeeut a check for 2Q cent. Mr. nnnn much apparent enjoyment dlnnosed of the wine and then of tha waiter. Del-monloo's was outraged, but Mr.

Genera knew Rhine wine was a dangerous and highly undesirable compound to aupoee of on the Bab-bath, and at the Jefferson Market Police Court Mr. Bentx, notwithstanding his counsel's vigorous assertion that Mr. Delmonlco kept a hotel and had the tight to sell liauor to hie guests, was required to give ball to appear for examination on Wedneaday, which he did. After thlalntaraatlng event had transpired the other aa aa unhealthy Sunday beverage, and drank champagne and brandy. me otner hotels in vadea were, the Continental, Hotel Royal, where Officer Collins paid 25 cents for whisky; the Brunswick, where the) swell OSeer Gen ore paid 40 cento for the same thing; the Qlenham, where Officer Shields waa eom- peuea to annk two glaeeee of 40 cent whlaky before he made the arrest: and the New- ork Hotel.

At the other liu-re hnrola the Hoffman. St. James. OUsev. Fifth- Avenue, Windsor it waa aa hard for the unknown man to get a drink aa it would be for a tramp to a rink ehamtMurne at his own nmiim But happy was the thirsty man who knew the oanenuer.

mat mau ooma nave provided him-aelf with a flrst-elaas attack of had he so desired, and have had the satisfaction of knowing that he had evaded the exclae law la the Bargain. Probably the only nlace in the citv where the law was strictly enforced was at the Sinclair House. At that place Mr. Ashman, the proprietor, forbade the selling of any kind of drink to hl gueata, and that gueat who waa accuHtomed to claret with hia dinner got diref oily left hut nltfht at the Sinclair. The Invasion of the hotels la looked upon by hotel men aa unlawful.

Mr. Cranaton. of the New-York Hotel, said he considered that under the many licenses he paid he had a perfect right to sell any kind of liquor to his (rural on Sunday. The fact that a mau might be In the hotel for no longer than half an hour made him. he thought, none the leas a gueat ins swoons uptown were generally tigbt-eloaed during tha latter part of the afternoon and In the evening, and the transient cltv dent who waa not in the possession of the friendship of a hotel bartender or a nrlvmte bottle found It hard to get a drink anywhere.

At one-well known resort up town, where men go to indulge in a variety of eport, the bar was closed, but In a little out-of-the-way room up stairs a table loaded with a collection of well tilled bottles waa to be found by all who felt any Interest In that kind of thing and who cared to leave their games while they manifested that Interest. Aside from saloon keenera. tha nollne mien turned their attention to other Sunday law breakers. Two mechanics were arrested for re pairing a boiler at their machine ahon. A Bow ery barber out a detective's hair and was arrested for It, and aeveral men and women Hebrewa were arreated for keeping their stores open'.

DuptiriuK-uueut murray ana inspector leers made a tour of the city during the afternoon and evening to aee that the law waa being enforced, aad to a Timks reporter last night the Superintendent expreaaed himself aa perfectly aatia-Hed that it waa.

In the event of the re rolt of the New-York and Brooklyn Knights, here Is little doubt that they would be joined by the two Chicago districts. The an tagonism to Powderly has beea increasing rapidly In thulcity and haa been aggravated by his utterances upon, the result of the Chicago election.

Joerph R.

"ha been to the lnitiatnd only a Question of time until there would be an open outbreak, unless the Geaeral Executive Board yiiii it. authorit to break the control which No. 49 bad over the Secretary. Tbla feeling haa been sup- fireaeed i 'ith difficulty, but It baa grown until haa a Imost absorbed every other consideration. Now that It has come to an open pretest against the dictatorial conduct of the Hi me Club in matters pertaining to the dutiee of general officers.

I am of opinion that all that i an save a rupture and a pretty general revolt wl 11 be the iaxuanre ef a charter to the Brooklyn men by the order of the General Executive 3oard. Thia will probably be done. I am led to this belief because of the action taken on the question of the eigarmakers' expulsion. wb It became apparent that 90 per cent, of the rank and file of the order were opposed to the reaoli ition of expulsion. You will remember that all proceedings ender the resolution were suddenly! suspended about two months aro.

If the comiialnta against the dictation of No. 49 are not heeded by the general officers there is kerlous trouble ahead for the order, and au open rupture may even occur before the Minneapolis convention of the General Assembly In October. win on sure hi come men. not Deioce." D. I).

IAim. a writer noon ernnnmln nrnhlAini and a former member of Dlatrtot Assembly No. 49, who represents the other side, explained the situation as follows: "The Home Club, of New- York, costains about all that amonnta to inr. thing in the Knigbta of Labor. Thia split comes from a la of politicians in Brooklyn, who want to use the order.

They know it cannot be done so long at the Home Club ccntrols Ko. 49. The fact ts that the vast nalority of the Brooklyn Knights work in New- ork, and all their Interests are centred In No. 49 Lttchman in light in refusing to grant them a cl larter. I would not be surprised if the Montank assemblies revolted.

In fact, I am not' sure but It would be a good thing if half of the present i lembershlp left the order. They have no Idea discipline, and do more hurt than good. Ti ley are forever talking of what they are going do, and accomplish nothing during toelr life iine." a I donft think there is anvthlnr in it said George Hodgera, Personally I think the Mon- tauka ou thtto get a charter if tbey want it.

80MB VERY DECIDED RESPONSES TO HIS REQUEST. Chicago, April 24. The request made by Vice-Chairman Daniels, of the Central Traffic Association, on behalf of General Passenger Agent Ford, of the Pennsylvania, that the various roads in the association, even those which had been boycotted themselves for not boycotting the Western roads, to Join Mr. Ford at once in withdrawing from sale all ticket over Western lines that would not comply with Mr. Fords mandates, ia receiving some rather pointed answers from the General Passenger Agenta of those roads in the association whoae views differ tnm those of Mr.

Ford in this matter. An answer to that request has been sent to Mr. Daniels by General Paseenger Agent W. B. Snattue, of the Ohio and Mississippi, which expressed his feelings In the matter still more forcibly and pointedly than Mr.

Branson's answer. It reads aa follows: Otorg H. jjanUlt. Vice-CAairman, O. T.

Chicago. Replying to Mr. Ford's message, which you communicate to me, I would echo the sentiment expressed by the late Mr. YanderbUl In regard to the public W. B.

SHATTUC. Mr. W. F. White, General Pasaenger Agent of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa F6 Railroad, has Issued a circular explaining the position of bis company regarding the agency'' question.

Mr. White says his company doea not assume the right to interpret the law for other roads, nor does it admit the right of other companies to interpret It for his company. The law does not recognize," he says, any one railroad company to lnfUot a penalty upon any other road for any real or surposed violation of the act. On the contrary. It seems to provide distinctly against it, and saya the appeal must be made to the Commissioner or the oourto for the redress of all gtievancea arising under the act.

It does not authorize any road to withdraw tickets from sale over any other line, whether that line la guilty or not of a violation of the act; much less where that line has requested an interchange of traffic In conformity with the law. The reverse of this Is, however, quite apparent, and it is certain that a difference of opinion on the subject must, in order to conform to tbe law, be settled by such tribunals a the act recognizes, and none other. The desire of a line for auy reason of its own to boycott an intermediate road does not relieve it of its responsibility tor discriminating sgainst a line beyond that has requested an Interchange of through traffic In conformity with the law. Particularly la this so when the former still continues to aell through tlokets over lines competing with the latter. In this, a In all other matters arising under' the new law, we respectfully deny the right of any railroad company to interpret auy portion of It for us, and will hold theiu directly responsible for any discriminations against ua."

aadinssa ma 1887. TaAT WILD westers tars SENATOR TEST REKEMBEPS HOW IT ORIGINATED. Washtngton, April 24. The truth is all out about the origin of th St. Louis Repvotiea tory that the President would on no account accept a renominatios.

It was suspected from tha first notice of tha assertion that a prominent Western Senator" wa responslblefor it; that it would be found sooner or later that It was Inspired by spirituous rather than spiritual excitement Senator Teat waa pounoed upon for an explanation. began by denying utterly that he had said anything "atallreeem-bling" the words attributed to a Western Senator, and then declared hia belief that the only foundation for the story was something that be said. It seems that the story reached the public through Chamberlin'a Hotel. The party that waa present when the announcement was made that led to the startling publication must have had a very good and a very long evening of it "I have been trying to recollect," says Mr. Vest In an interview published in the Pott," anything that I have said at any time that might possibly be made the foundation for this sensation, aud I have come to the conclusion that thla great newspaper oak roust have grown from an acorn which I dropped In conversation with some Hands at Chamberlin'a a few days ago.

There were some district Democrats present who were not friendly to the President, and they declared that Cleveland was working for a renomination. They said that hia appointment of the negroes to tbe office of Recorder of Deeds were made to bring him back to the Whit Mouse on the colored vote. Several other acts of the President were enumerated, with the statement that they were all done to gain a renomination and a reelection. I remember that I very distinctly demurred. I replied that I knew it was not so; that Mr.

Cleveland was not only not working to be renominated but that he did not want a second terra; that what be was working for was to leave the Government in auch a shape that any good Democrat could be elected, and I think I added ou that occasion, by way of strengthening my authority, that he told me ao himself." If Mr. Test had made the last statement, that he deliberately attributed words to tbe President by way of strengthening my authority." before he uttered hia sweeping denial of having said anything at all resembling the words attributed to a Western Senator," the story would not have obtained such wide publicity. It was heard by a friend of the Senator, who. In reporting It, appears to have preeerved hia power of recollection better than the Senator did. The man who remembera so inaccurately and remembera by mistake some things that are not so Is apt to prove embarrassing to the conscientious and enterprising reporter who gets his stories at second hand.

Secretary Whitney is of the opinion that he can grant commissions as Ensigns to at least 20 of the 33 naval cadet now at sea, who are to be examined in June next for final graduation. There are now 12 vacancies In the line of the navy. Three more will probably be created soon, as it is considered almost certain Lieuts. Lyeth, Noel, aud Amsden are to be taken from the active list There are also several officers condemned by Boards of Medical Survey who will be retired before June. The usual casualties, such as deaths, resignations, and dismissals, will no doubt make a few more vacancies.

The line of the navy Is the only branch of the service open to the graduates of this year. The officers of the Marine Corps are now four in excess of the limit allowed by law. There are ten vacanoles in the Engineer Corps, but these are considered as belonging to the restored cadet engineers. The Secretary has ret to decide whether to give the cadet engineers the numbers on the list of assistant engineers to which they would have been entitled bad they been dropped from the service by ex-Secretary Chandler, or simply to give them vacancies aa they occur in the regular order of their standing at the data of their graduation. The cadet engineers are hopeful that the Secretary will see fit to restore them to tbe places tbev would now have if they had remained in the service.

The trial trip of the Boston haa been put off until June. It had been decided that aha should take tbe six-hour run early In May, it being th opinion that her machinery would develop tbe required horse power without the separator" found necessary in the case of the Atlanta. Yesterday, after a consultation with the Secretary of the Navy, Engineer-In-chiet Luring sent a telegraphic order to have a separator placed on tbe Boston. This action was taken upon the advice of tbe engineera who manared the Atlanta machinery during her recent trial trip. The machinery of the Boston is of the same type as that of the Atlanta, and the engineers reported that aatlsfactory work could not bc expected of It without the separator." Secretary Endicott will modify his recent order prohibiting all travel requiring the payment of mileage, so that Paymasters may make their regular monthly pay turns.

It will be impossible, however, even with the most rigid economy, to allow the pay trips in June. Tbe mileage fund for this fiscal year will Just about admit of tbe travel of Paymasters to pay the troops for April. The army will doubtless have to wait for Its May pay until July, when next year's mileage appropriation becomes available, and then tbe payments for both June and May will be made. MR.

Middle town, N. April 24. News of the financial embarrassment of Wynkoop Kler-sted, head of the late Importing firm of W. Kler-sted At causes extreme surprise in business circles throughout the tanning region of Southern New-York.

I tae day VICTIM OF AN ACCIDENT. DEATH FROM A PISTOL SHOT W0CTTD OF A PHILADELPHIA BELLE.

The residence of George Nichoft, a wealthy iron merchant, at 36 PlerTepoat-straeV, Brooklyn, was th seen of a tragedy Saturday afternoon, which was for a time shrouded la mystery. The victim waa Miss Nancy Laaley. A daughter of James Lesley, now dead, of Philadelphia, she lived with her mother and brother at 312 South Fifteenth-street Philadelphia, and was on of the belles of that city, and had a host of admirers. 8h wa a school mat of Miss Marie Nichols, aad had paid frequent visits to the latter'a home In Brooklyn. Miss Lesley arrived at Mr.

Nichols's hens Friday. Intending to stay several weeks. She was In unusually good spirits and amused th family Friday night with her bright talk aad etorlee. Saturday abe took lunch with Mr. Nichols and her daughter at 2 o'clock, and then retired to her own room while Miss Nichols wrote a latter.

After waiting SO minutes for her sweat to return Mies Nichols started to go to her room, and when half way up the stairs heard a sharp pistol report 6he hurried to Mis Lesley's door and knocked, bnt receiving no response oread her way in. Her young friend was lying en the floor beside a table, unconscious. Blood waa trickling from a wonnd In her light temple, and oa the floor by her side lay a revolver. The horrified girl called for help, and a servant was seat for physicians. Pre.

Rushmore, Hkeaa. and Hutchinson were soon bending over tbe patient, but their efforts to arouse her were In vain. She died about 4 o'clock, not having regained consciousness. Notice of the shooting wa sent to the Coroner's office, but although it was then early tn th day about 4:15 o'clock the Coroner wa not personally Informed ot the matter, and toe esse wss wa suppressed by some one. Even th police were not given notice until 24 hours later.

In consequence of thia delay tbe inquest was not held until yesterday morning, when Coroner Rooney went to the house and took the testimony of every one. This testimony put an end to the supposition ot suicide, and the Jury rendered a verdict of accidental death while handling a loaded revolver. Mlsa Nichols and her mother and father were witnesses, and told of Mlas Lesley's behavior while in their company, her Joyfulness and seeming beppiness, and tbe story of the discovery of the wounded girt Miss Nichols declared that her friend had never suffered from any love affair during their acquaintance of six years. She always earned a revolver, Mlas Nlchole said. None of these witnesses had ever before aeen the pistol from which the shot waa fired, it did not belong te any one in tbe house.

Robert W. Lesley, the only brother of the dead girl, who ts a prominent lawyer in Philadelphia, arrived at Mr.Nlcbols's house late Saturday alght and waa a witness at the inquest He laat aaw hia slater aa he waa leaving home Friday morning, and the last words she addressed to him were used In repeating a Joke ahe had heard the night before at a reception. She was one of tbe liveliest girls in Philadelphia." said Mr. Lesley. Hhe was an expert swimmer, a fine tennis player, and a crack shot She always carried a revolver, and only a few months ao won a rifle In a shooting match at home.

Last Summer, while staying in the Adirondack, ahe shot a deer, a feat of which she was very proud. She alwaya cleaned and eared for his pistols, and Invariably carried one with her when she traveled. She could make nine bull's eyes out of a possible ten any time. I am convinced that her death was the result of an accident" Hia sister, Mr. Lesley said, had never been engaged to be married, and none of the young gentlemen in Philadelphia had paid her marked attentions.

There were alwaya a good many of them at the house in tbe evenings, but all stood on an equality. Dr. J. D. Rushmore testified that from the upward course of the bullet in the wound, which was In the right temple, he was of the opinion that tbe wound had been self-lnflloted.

On this statement of tbe case the jury based its verdict Tbe Jury waa composed of near neighbors of Mr. Nichols Samuel McLean. Alanson C. Traak, William A. Halliday.

George K. Church, James McLean, and A. H. Masters. The dead girl waa 21 years of age and unnsn ally pretty.

She was well developed physically; had dark faair and black, piercing eye. She waa. In addition to her athletic accomplishments, a fine musician, and her service aa singer and violinist were in great demand at concerts la aid of charitable reran izations. Th body waa placed la a coins yesterday and taken to Philadelphia. IBS CHICAGO PLAYHOUSES.

POOR BUSINESS AT MOST OT THE THEATRES. Chicago, April 24. Hooley's and the Chicago Opera House have done a capital business during tbe laat week, but the other big playhouses have had rather light patronage. At Hooley'e, Roalna Yoke's and her London Comedy Company bareTeen the attraction, playing a triple bill to very large bouses. Tha engagement lasts a month, and bids fair to be one of the most successful of the Chicago season.

The opera is the most popular of any which CoL McCauil haa ever produced here, and will remain on the Stage the coming week, closing the McCauil engagement After a rest ot a week, the company will open in New-York for its Spring and Summer engagement Frederick Mitterwurser.the distinguished German actor, supported by a local company, has filled in a week at tbe Columbia, playing only to moderate bouses. It Is doubtful If any company speaking a foreign language can do three nights' business in Chicago, though Sarah Bernhardt who opens at the Columbia to-morrow evening with extravagant prices for seats, may possibly accomplish thia The advance sale for the Bernhardt engagement ts satisfactory. Tbe Rag Baby" seems to have enjoyed Its best days In Chicago, where it haa alwaya been a strong attraction. It engagement at tbe Grand last week waa not a successful one.
