FATAL MIDNIGHT EAST-SIDE ROW. Hogan Wai Handsome and Good to His Mother and Sisters, Though the Police Gave Him Bad Fame. KU Hoein, general tough and all-around ncrap- lhe Stal Ga Killed In fight'In East Fourteenth atroet at midnight. The above paragraph summarizes the accounf-of a murder on Sunday night as given out by the police. On the top floor of the tenement at No.

226 East Twenty-ninth street a widowed mother, four daughters ana two sons are weep- 'Ing over the body of a handsome boy. He was not known to them as "Kid." 'According to his mother, who is referred to by all her fellow-lodgers in the tenement house as a "hard-working and superior woman," he was an honest lad, who, when he worked as he did until the hard times threw him out of a Job, brought home all his earnings of a Saturday night, and who, since he had been out of employhent, had not failed to come home at an early hour each evening. He was brought home yesterday afternoon from the Morgue with a frightful in his throat, and a slash that severed his upper lip. In the Fifth station-house two brothers, Charles August Schaeffer, of No. 400 Bast Fourteenth street, are held 9n the charge Of murder, and seven tough looking youths are detained as witnesses of the TYRRELL TO BE INVESTIGATED.

Prosecutor Mclntyre Will Lay tile Affidavits of the Donnelly Jurors Before Recorder Smyth. Assistant District-Attorney John F. Mclntyre said yesterday that he would present to Recorder Smyth to-day or to-morrow the affidavits of James Tyr- reil's fellow-jurors as to his conduct during the trial of James Donnelly for murder last week. He will ask the Recorder to call the attention of the Grand Jury to the charges.against Tyrrell made by Foreman Crawford and Jurors Joseph w. Fegan and Henry Muhlenbruch.

The District-Attorney cannot move to set aside the verdict, but Recorder Smyth can set it aside, if he believes there was collusion. If the statement made to Mr. Mcln- tyre yesterday by Juror John W. Hamann Is 9 true there was a most remarkable time- in the jury-room on Friday night, before the verdict of manslaughter was arrived at. Mr.

Hamann told Mr. Mclntyre that not only was Juror Tyrrell obstinate, but anxious to fight. Mr. Hamann said he had called to see Mr. Mclntyre to clear himself from all of collusion, if collusion existed, in framing of the verdict.

"I was one of the two jurors," said Mr. Hamann, "who held out until midnight of Friday last for an acquittal. It was after the second ballot, which stood ten for manslaughter and two for acquittal, that a rumor suddenly passed among the Jurymen that Tyrrell, who had argued strenuously for acquittal, had been seen talking with Felix Donnelly, the defendant's cousin, and that he was charged with being Influenced thereby. "Just then Juryman Foster, who had grown weary of hearing Tyrrell's argument, said to him, 'I'd like to take a fall out of Tyrrell at once jumped up and said: 'Begosh, my head's the oldest one here, but I'm ready to. take a fall out of any man in the crowd.

Let's have It out right "And Mr. Tyrrell squared away, and put himself in position. While Mr. Tyrrell was making his reply and assuming his attitude, Mr. Crawford, the foreman, executed a clog dance, which he set up Immediately upon hearing Foster's proposition to take a fall out of Tyrrell." Mr.

Mclntyre said that besides the above facts he will lay before Recorder Smyth the affidavits of three other per- Washington Heights the Location, Colonial and St. Nicholas Suggested as the Names.

She was arraigned Saturday on the charge of loitering on the streets; preferred by Policeman GH- martin, of the Mercer street ment, Charles Schaeffer was seen to rush upon Hogan and wrestle with him until the middle of the street was reached.

At that point 'the latter fell, with blood- streaming from his face and throat. Somebody called Father Driscoll from the near-by Church-of the Immaculate Conception, and the sacrements were administered to the dying lad. In the meantime Korr had broken from the other Schaeffer-with' a painful but not dangerous wound in his back. Officers from, the Fifth street station-house arrived In, time to take Korr to-the sta- where his wound was be dressed, and to died. The only wo were: "Please tell my "The Schaeffers had meantime retreated into their house, but they were taken into custody, just as they were preparing to get into bed.

It Is agreed on all sides that the tragedy of Sunday night grew out of a difficulty that occurred Christmas night last, when William Schaeffer, an elder brother of the two prisoners, was found bleeding in the hallway of his home. He charged Hogan with having assaulted and robbed him, and caused the latter's on Schaeffer's testimony, held for the Grand Jury. Subsequently Sehaeffer appeared before the Grand Jury and withdrew the charge against Hoean. The Schaeffers claim that this action was taken because of the appeal of Mrs. Hogan for mercy.

All the young men had been schoolmates at the School of the Immaculate Conception, and the families were acquainted. The Hogan family declare that the charge of as- pault was withdrawn simply because It was false, and without their Blon. Mrs. Hogan was left a widow seventeen years ago, with a family of six children, which was increased two months after her husband's death by arrival of twin, Before that she had had twin daughters, who are fcojv handsome girls. By incessant labor poor woman was able to give all her i'i children the rudiments of an education.

Policemen Gllmartln, Gllllgan, Leeson and Petermann and Detective Bonnoll, of the the Governor, and the bill providing for another has been introduced by Senator Cantor. The park already authorized Is to be known' as Colonial Park, and provisions are made in the law for the acquisition by the city of the property included within the prescribed boundaries. When laid out Colonia.1 Park will extend from One Hundred and Forty- fifth street to One Hundred and Fifty- fifth street, be bounded on the east and west by Edgecomb road and Bradhurst avenue. The city authorities are given the power to begin condemnation proceedings at once. The park proposed by Senator Cantor's bill will be called the St Nicholas.

As described In the bill. Its boundaries' will be as follows: "Beginning at a point on the westerly side of. St. Nicholas avenue, where the southerly side of One Hundred and Thirtieth street, if extended, would Intersect the same; running thence northerly along the westerly side of St. Nicholas.avenue to the southerly side of One Hundred and F.orty-flrst street; thence westerly along the southerly side of One Hundred and Forty-first street to' the easterly side of Convent avenue; thence southerly along the easterly of Convent avenue 740 feet 6 Inches to a point thereon where the centre line of One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street, If extended, would Intersect the same; thence westerly, crossing Convent avenue, and along the said centre line of One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street to the easterly side of Tenth avenue; thence southerly along the easterly, side of-Tenth avenue to the centre line of One Hundred and Thirty- Marriage and Its consequences occupied a good deal of the time of the Stale Courts yesterday.

Justice Truax, of the Supreme Court, handed down a decision refusing to grant Dr. James J. Conca-nnon an annulment of his marriage to Lilian Con- cnnnon. Dr. Concannon charged that he had been grossly deceived by his wife.

She denied his charges, and said that she left him because of his cruelty. In giving Judgment for the wife, the Judge sa'icl that there was no evidence to show that she was In a delicate condition at the time of her marriage. Suspicions were not evidence, and could only have arisen In the mind of a nervous. Irritable, unreasonable man. "The innuendo of a the fact that a Sfrvant-glrl when questioned would not tell anything, the laugh of a man on the opposite side of the street, the smile of a man peeping on the same side of the avenue, are enough to convince the plaintiff that his wife Is unchaste." Dr.

Concannon Is a pnctlslng physician at No. 372 West Thirty-second street. His wife Is said to be supporting herself by giving music lessons In a Western State. Justice Andrews, of the Supreme Court, denied a motion of Edna B. Allen for alimony in her action against John Allen, the former landlord of the Hotel Hamilton, for a divorce, on-the ground that he has not enough evidence as to the defendant's means to fix a sum which he should pay.

He also denied a motion of Allen for a commission to examine himself In St. Louis. The Judge says that he has gone out of the Jurisdiction of the court, and should not put his wife to the expense of having counsel at St. Louis. Subsequently Justice Andrews appointed William D.

Gray referee to take testimony as to the amount of alimony to be paid. As an additional act of the -Allen drama, Glen B. Harris began an action yesterday In the Supreme Court to recover J970 from John Allen, for necessaries, includlns board and lodging, furnished to Mrs. Allen from Oct. 1, 1892, to date.

at No. 22 William street, and the Bushe plan, which The World'exposed March 1, will come up for consideration. The World's warning did riot come too soon, for the preparations purchase the franchise for the plan have, been completed. Lawyer Edward Lauterbach, who represents the Brooklyn syndicate which wishes to buy the Bushe plan, with the addition of a franchise for building a crosstowr road from river to river, said yesterday that he had been reinforced by certain capitalists from the other side, and that the money was ready to buy the franchise and guarantee the building of the road. He said he might possibly announce w.hose these new members the syndicate were to-day at the Rapid-Transit Commission's meeting.

The Brooklyn syndicate Is composed, among others-, of Simon and Fred- Uhlmann, the hop of No. Broad street; Arlolph Ladenburg and -his partner, Tnalmann, of Ladenburg, Thalmann the bankers; all interested heavily in the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad. Mr. Lauterbach first announced that this syndicate would bid on the Bushe franchise at a meeting of the Rapid- Transit Commission In January. The World at the time showed that the Uhlmann's on their own statements, were The Girls Are Especially Angry at Their Superintendent, Who, They Say, Offered Ttem a Gross Insult.

"It was Infernally hot In there," said an uptown captain after the conference was over. It.was learned that the Superintendant gave his subordinates to understand, in the plainest of English, that he is in command, and that he Intends enforce' discipline regardless of any- Dody's "pull.

Much of the land thus described belonged at one time to Alexander Hamilton. It was left by his will to his wife, Elizabeth Hamilton, and three blocks north of the park the old Hamilton mansion is still standing. The property-owners who hold the titles to the land embraced within the boundaries of the proposed park have decided to protest, and Lawyer Ira Shafer, of No.

B9 Liberty street, has already presented a written statement of his objections. "Two parks are not needed on Washington Heights," said Mr. Shafer, neople who own real ceremony she.told him that she'had been married before, and that her band was still living. Robert A. Blake, who keeps a boardinghouse at No.

432 Seventh avenue, asked to be divorced from Sadie Blake. They were married In 1879 and have five children. She left him a year ago, saying that she had gone with a handsomer man, Isaac Solomon by name. Mrs. Anastasla Plessner, a very handsome woman, wanted nn absolute divorce from her husband, Paul Plessner, a trav- olUmr salesman.

"I was thrown out, and since then my lltt! daughter and have lived about with friends and acquaintances until they are tired of seeing us. I would work for 50 cents a day, but nobody wants me. Gertrude is my last child. Fourteen months ago I had a wife and nine children.

My wife died first, then the children dropped off, one by one. Eight died, the last only three months ago." Mull Is a respectable-looking man, and his story had a decided effect on the court-room audience. The girl was sent to the Asylum of St. Vincent de Paul. Labor's Proposed Monster Petition.

Why These Bonds Do Not Bell. Comptroller Fitch explained yesterday why he had been unalle to sell the $1,317,000 bonds for the purchase of the Corlcars Hook Park It is not that the city's credit has become Impaired," he said, "but because these -bonds are -payable one-tenth a' year for ten years, the one-tenth to bo decided by lot each year.

She Was on Strike, and Did Not Like Hisi Kampt td Be a "Scab," The women employed In Brody Lederer's Cigar Factory, at Seventieth street and-Avenue have been on strike several weeks. There is pretty bad feeling: between them and the women who have been trying to take their places. Fights have been of such frequent occurrence that Police Capt.

Strauss has been obliged to keep a policeman on duty continually at the factory. Every morning as the new employees came to work the pickets of men and women 'strikers tried to win them over. One of the most energetic of these missionaries was Miss Annie Bldelberg, of Astoria, L. I. She left her Job with the other strikers when the trouble came, and ever since has been working hard to keep others from taking their places.

Yesterday morning sho tried to persuade Miss Lena Kampt, of No. 198 Henry street, to join the strikers. Miss Kumpt refused to listen to her, and Miss Eidelberg called her a "scab." Following tlilH withering: epithet up, she struck Miss Kampt squarely on the Jaw with her and there was an effectual knock-out. Miss Bldelberg- was arrested. In York- vllle Court Justice Voorhls told her It was a dangerous proceeding to strike a "scab" and allowed her to go.

OIRL PICKETS ON DUTY, we going to have some dancing pretty soon Tho gavel fell shortly afterwards, and there arose a choriiL of feminine voices; Get your accordion, Herman, and play us a waltz," Herman responded, and the little dark hall with its dusty floor at No. 04 Hast Fourth street was in the hands of the young women who left their machines and their tables In tho shop at No. 80 South Fifth avenue In response to a call from their Icllow workmen. The waltz was followed by a polka and that by a rcdowa, until at last It was time for the young women acting as pickets to return to their posts again. These pickets are very stern and businesslike when they accost non-union persons who have been tempted to take their places In the shop.

It Is hard to resist the arguments of a pretty girl when she Is In dead earnest, and the pickets had a very favorable report to make wlien they came over to Host Fourth street to tell the Master Workmen and the Grand Coun- cillors and tho Walking Delegates and other Knights of Labor what the feminine end of the strike was doing. The dancing Is a resular feature of the strikers' dally meetings, and it forms a very agreeable 'respite from- picket duty. Little Sadie Hardy, whoso dress comes only to her slioetops, but who wears as many capes on her stylish coat as a belle of several su: sons, reported that a man and lib daughter who came from Philadelphia to work for Lattemann, had been turned back with money to pay their fare home. Another beauty, tall and dark, with flushing black eyes and Just the prettiest touch of a soft Italian accent In her voice, told of three young girls who had been sent the shop by a padrone. The picket argued with them In their own tongue, and clInched her talk by pointing to the two policemen on duty In front of the factory.

The girls concluded that they didn't want to sew buttons on shoes under police protection and ran away to'their homes. given their moral support to tho strikers an would help them financially. A similar repo was made of the Central Labor Union, and was said the "Big Six." tho typographic union, had offered assistance. A letter hi boon sent to John Wanamuker, the I'hllade' phla- tradeimau. asking him to itop buyln goons irom Lattumann.

According to the state mcntof oneof the girl pickets, the only opcrnllvai secured by tho factory yester day were a lot of street OVERHEAD DOWN.

The Board of Electrical Control Continues It Work on Broadway. The Board of Electrical Control is vigorously prosecuting the work taking down overhead wires along Broad way. Almost all the work is now In the hands of the board, very few the companies having complied with the law requiring the wires to be taken down. Many of the wires are dead, and the companies prefer to have the city do the work, although In tne end they must foot the bill. The force employed cleared the district between Twelfth and Bond streets yesterday, the work yielding less than half a truckload of wire.

The work Is usually without Incident, property owners being glad to get rid of the unsig'htly wires In most cases Occasionally an obstinate one Is met, who yields, however, when the Inspector's badge of authority is shown. "The wires," declared the clerk of the board yesterday, "are a constant menace, and there will be no let up on our part until we reach the Battery. Wherever a conduit exists the board Is determined to force its usage. This applies not only to Broadway, but to every part of the city." STEVENS WAS NOT HARD-HEAETED. So Ho Gave William Sinclair Crewe Money Occasionally.

William Sinclair youth who In the winter of 1882 passed himself off as the son of an English baronet, is charged with larceny by Lloyd Stevens, and the case was on trial yesterday In General Sessions before Judge Cowing. Mr. Stevens, or, as he prefers to be WILLIAM SINCLAIR CHEWE. called, "Dr." Stevens, although he has no right to the title, said Crewe obtained from him on May 22 last by representing that he had diamonds In pawn and wanted to get them out. He admitted that he had given money to Crewe at different times because he was not "hard-hearted enough to refuse him." He lived with Crewe at Crowe's flat, No.

45 West Forty-second street, and after he had purchased Crewe's furniture he Installed a young woman there to watch it, so he said. During the examination of Stevens the court-room was filled with effeminate- looking men. The prisoner is of this class.

The Metropolitan Telephone and Telegraph Company, has originated a system of rigid economy In'the administration of Its affairs, and beginning March 10 the company will' be conducted with fewer officials and mu'ch less expense. Under the new system the company dispenses with -the services of a score or more of its employees and makes a general reduction In salaries.

By this means about yearly will be saved. The offices of construction -and equipments will be of superintendent superintendent of abolished. J. A. Helvln and U.

Fentorf, the labor expert'' nploycd by the Park Department to organize worklng'-gangs, has not been discharged, as Hu wav employed 'for thirty days, hich will be up J4arch la Then ne will STRIKERS DANC1NO AFTER THE MEETING. The padrone his bobbed up In this labor difficulty just an he did in tho scramble for places In Commissioner Andrews's snow shovelling brigade. One padrone was discovered In South Brooklyn, but the strikers made short work of him. He kept a barber shop. Siioe operatives came to his place in response to an advertisement and were told to go upstairs.

They found things looking very.dlll'erc'nt from a shoe factory, and when they learned the padrone's design they promptly informed the strikers. Male pickets were sent out to attend to the liar- ber, and they did their work neatly and with despatch. They annoume 1 that they were going to ruin his business us a barber by hafliiK ivory union In Brooklyn put a boycott on his ihop. This scared the padrone nearly to death, and lie abaimo.icd hU shoe business for the time at leasl. One rea-'on why the girls are so loyal to their men associates in the shop is that buu of the grievances of the strikers concerns the young women more than the men.

The trouble has been brewing a long time, in the first place, the llrm refuses to recognize the union. Then, again, wages are low. and In some cases below the living standard, the say. There nn; men the shop ho arc personally displeasing to tlio other employees, and as these men are not members of the union their discharge was made an issue. One of these men is the superintendent, Paul 1'athlc.

According to a statement made at a strikers' meeting, certain of tho girls who sew on buttons were allowed to earn only 'JU cents a day. They went to the superintendent and complained, and the answer they received brought blushes to their cheeks. They reported lo the union that the superintendent had suggested that there were other ways of making money, especially when the button- sewer had cheeks and a good figure. The howl of indignation which went up 'when this was reported to their fellow workmen was followed at once by the strike. Because of the feeling over this one grievance tlic young women probably mean every word they say when they deal are that they never, no never, will work under that superintendent again.

Arbitration Commissioner' Feeney, accom panied by a committee of the strikers, went to see Mr. Latlemaim yesterday. Their- conference was fruitless.

A warfare of words over the almshouse abuses, which were recently Investigated by the Grand Jury, Is in progress between Hermann Oelrlchs, the foreman of that body, and Dr. William G. Le Boutillier, who appeared before the Grand Jury in connection with the alleged abuses. Dr. Le Boutillier was quoted In the newspapers last Saturday as saying: "I am not surprised at the failure of the Grand Jury to find a case against the department, for they did not get Information which would lead to such a finding.

When they questioned me they did not make inquiries -so as to call from me what 1 knew about the Institution." 'fo this Mr. Oelrlchs replies: "Dr. Le Boutillier Is stating a deliberate falsehood. The stenographer's minutes will prove the utter falsity of his statement, as well as show that the very last question asked him was to give the Grand Jury as much general Information as possible, and to mention the particular points to which. In his opinion, their attention should be drawn on the occasion of their proposed visit to the Island.

If he failed to give the full Information requested, It was because he did not possess It or wilfully suppressed it." Dr. Le Boutillier says he has no recollection of being asked to give as much general Information as possible. He says he was simply asked for suggestions as to points the Grand Jury ought especially to Investigate. FOUND BABIES IN THEIR HALLS. Infants Left at the Homes of Dr.
