President Michael C. Murphy has cited the officers of the Manhattan Elevated Road to appear before the Health Board on Wednesday next to show cause why they should not make arrangements for the better ventilation of their cars. President Murphy said this morning that many complaints had been made; against the company for the III ventilation of the cars. "In summer," said President Murphy, "when germs are carried from one end oi tne city to the other. This is especially true of such I diseases as scarlet fever.

We have had twelve inspectors at work on the road and we shall have a full report in a day or two from them. "What we have already received from them shows a very bad state of affairs. People with even strong lungs run a danger of contracting pulmonary affections from the germs in these cars. We have called the attention of tbe officers of the road repeatedly to this thing and cited them to appear. On various occasions they have sent word that Mr.

Julien T. Davies, their counsel, was out of town or sick. We have assurances from the company that Mr. Davies will be present next Wednesday. This condition of the cars must he remedied." NATURALIZATION FRAUDS.

Judge Thomas Calls Attention to Mc Cullagh's Charges Grand Jury to Investigate Them. Judge Edward B. Thomas, sitting in the United States District Court this morning, in charging the Grand Jury for November, laid particular and emphatic stress on the letter recently issued by Superintendent of Elections McCuIlagh relative to alleged frauds In naturalization committed in this district. Ho told tho jury that Superintendent McCuIlagh should be given an opportunity of appearing before them and compelled to give any evidence he may have that frauds have been committed. He said that an error had been made in stating that 5,000 naturalization papers had been issued in Brooklyn this year, i this being fully 1,600 greater than were grant ed.

He said that the only offenses in this i direction that, had been discovered in Brooklyn 1 had been brought to light through the clerk's office, the efficiency and carefulness of which I ho commended highly. I Judge Thomas said that as long as a law could not be passed which absolutely pre vented crime, men would perjure themselves, and it rested with all good citizens to bring those who were offenders to justice. He charged the Grand Jury to make this question its particular business, assuring them that information on which indictments could be based would be welcomed and indictments gladly received by the court.

Starr, Herman Buechner WON'T TRY M0LINEUX CASE. Recorder Goff Asks That Counsel Shall Beach. Some Agreement and Scores the District Attorney. Recorder Goff refused this morning to set a date for the trial of the case of Roland B. Molineux unless the prosecution and defense came to an agreement that he should try the case or that the appellate division should order him to try it on a date to be fixed.

When Assistant District Attorney Osborne moved yesterday that the Recorder set a date for trial the Recorder said that he thought the action of the District Attorney In moving the case from one court to another without consulting the judges, was very peculiar and he declared that he would decide about fixing a date in court this morning. Recorder Goff, after referring to the motion of yesterday, said: "In this case the indictment was found in the Court of General Sessions. Subsequently the District Attorney moved its transfer to the Supreme Court. Pending the motion of the District Attorney for a special jury the District Attorney transferred the case back to General Sessions. In each motion this court was not consulted.

There is no question as to the right of the District Attorney to make case sttcn motions ana ask tor the transfer of the hetber or ot his action was dis creet or not is not for me to say. "Under ordinary circumstances the court would try any case that it was ordered to try iy tne supreme court, i ne counsel for the I defendant remained practically mute during i these processes, ne conduct of the prose cuting officer must rest on his own shoulders in deference to the appellate division of the Supreme Court I shall not pass on the case to day. I shall not enter on this case if there is any complication likely to arise in regard to the appellate division. "If the court acts, it will be with the consent of the prosecution and the defense. I am not anxious to try this case except I am assured that it will give equitable satisfaction to all parties.

"I request the defendant's counsel and the District. Attorney to arrive at conclusion that will be mutually satisfactory. "What is sought here is justice, even at the expense of personal feeling. The court expresses the hope that such an agreement may be had. I hope a result may be reached that will aid these unfortunate and uncertain Mr.

Osborne then said that there had never beou anything uncertain about his attitude. He said he had always intended that the case should be tried before the Recorder. Mr. Weeks said that in behalf of his client he would submit a copy of the stenographer's report of the proceedings of yesterday and to day to the appellate division and ask that the case be tried in the Supreme Court and a date fixed for the trial. Mr.

Osborne demurred, but the Recorder said: "The incident, for the day, is closed, gentlemen. Let there be no further talk." TO OPEN A DEFAULT. Justice W. M. Smith in Supreme Court, special term, this morning granted a motion by Lawyer H.

C. McKrell to open a default in the suit of Henry E. Hannard against Mary E. Fox, for $2,000 damages for assualt, as al laged. When the case came on for trial, counsel said the defendant did not appear and Judgment was taken for $697.

It was alleged by the plaintiff that he was janitor of the premises at 358 Baltic street, in which there was a dower right owned by the defendant. He declared tint nn one night in July she forced her way into his room and hit i him In the eye. In her answer she declared that she did not hit Hannard, but that he was the aggressor. She set up a counter claim for damages. The default was allowed to be opened if the defendant pay S25 costs to abide the event.

Republicans Apprehend That Democratic Board May Try and Elect Gray CLOSE ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS. Alderman Bridges May Be Deposed as Chairman of the Brooklyn Municipal Assembly Members.

The Republican county organization is preparing to make a strong contest in every close district before the Board of County Canvassers. There are at least half a dozen districts in which the changing of a few votes will elect or defeat a candidate, and the Republicans express apprehension lest a Democratic board of canvassers may throw out votes enough to elect John Morrissey Gray, Register, and Roy, Delaney. Parker and Torborg in the Sixteenth, Twentieth, Sixth and Twenty first Assembly Districts respectively. The first meeting of the Board of Canvassers, which includes all the Aldermen and Councilmen from this borough, will be held on next Tuesday. There is some doubt whether a new chairman will have to be elected.

Last year just before the meeting Alderman James Bridges of the Second District was chosen chairman of the local members of the Municipal Assembly in thai capacity as supervisors of Kings County, but the resolution did not name Bridges for any definite term, and a new chairman may have to be chosen this year to malio the organization legal. Bridges is not a favorite with the Republican members or the Republican candidates. He had a row last year with Alderman Stewart, who wanted to be placed on the committee to count the vote for the Fourth Assembly District, which he represents. That was a close district, and Stewart thought Bridges had designs upon the Assembly certificate. A host of lawyers will be on hand to represent the interests of the candidates in all close districts.

The law gives candidates this right. Bert Reiss, who will look after Mr. Howe's vote, said to day. "Mr. Howe has retained mo to look after his interests before the county canvassers.

Twenty five of the best qualified men in the Republican party who have had vast experience at official counts will be on hand and protect Mr. Howe's interests. It will probably take the county canvassers oue week to complete their labors. "Word has reached us of an attempt to try something which, if successful, would defeat the people's will. I take this opportunity to warn the men who contemplate this move.

Their names have been placed In rny hands by one of the people whom they approached. If any further steps are taken, or suggested, we will forthwith proceed to bring the Instigators to justice, without any discrimination whatsoever. "Mr. Howe is surely elected, and by a good deal more majority than is generally believed. Under the law, the police returns axe presumptive evidence of the result.

The county canvassers are merely clerks. They have no power to correct frauds or rectify mistakes, except clerical ones. Their duty is simply to add together the statements of results filed with them. Whether a ballot is or is not a piarked ballot Is an open question, to be de as an issue of fact by the court, and no other authority. After the canvass of the votes, if fraud or mistake other than clerical is alleged, the remedy consists in bringing a quo warranto.

"All the county canvassers can do is to eummon inspectors before them for the pur of making corrections. They have purely ministerial, and not Judicial, duties to perform, and cannot enter upon a judicial lnvee tigation to ascertain the genuineness of a return which the law required to be returned to St. Such return is favored by the presumption of official honesty and regularity. We do not anticipate any injustice or unfairness at the canvass, and should it occur, we are amply prepared to take such immediate steps as may be deemed best." The returns as received in tho County Clerk's office and at police headquarters are being constantly watched by friends of Mr. Howe, in order thai, no one shall tamper with them.

Mr. Reiss says that Mr. Howe has figures to show his election by 300 votes. The Republicans have retui ns on all districts at their headquarters to check tho official figures, and are prepared for a contest if it comes, it Is said. It.

is said that the number of void ballots is unusually large thi3 year, and will, perhaps, reach two or three thousand votes. This may have an important effect on the result. Most of them are said to have been cast Democratic who attempted to scratch Gray, and spoiled their ballots. Some of these thrown out may be held by the courts not to be defective. Assemblyman Brennan claims his election in the Sixteenth District by only twenty votes; Waite in the Sixth has only 133 to apare at the best; Adams, in the Twenty first, has only four.

Any of these figures might be reversed. The Republicans now claim to have elected ten Aldermen, and Hennessy in the Ninth, was indorsed by them. He may not act with the Democrats in the board. It is still claimed that six Republican Aldermen were elected in Manhattan, so that they may have sixteen, enough to prevent the passing of tho budget, unless it suits them. The majorities claimed by some of these candidates are not very large, and thejr, too, will watch th canvass.

HE HAD STOLEN LINEN. Iaundryman in a Fashionable Boarding House Admits He Is an Old Offender. A man who called himself Charles Franklin, who had been employed in the laundry of Mrs. Hannah Loughlin's fashionable boarding bouse at Henry street, was held this forenoon by Magistrate Brenner for hearing on a charge of having stolen table linen worth $75 from the house. Mrs.

Loughlin was positive that the man was a thief. As he did his work very well, she thought at first that she had a treasure. Pretty soon there was trouble. A waiter employed in the house said that he had lost some clothing and he thought Franklin was the man who took it. Mrs.

Loughlin remembered she had missed some table linen. She caused Franklin's room to be searched. She alleges that she found some of her property concealed between the mattresses of his bed. Then she procured a warrant for the arrest of the laundryinan. Detective Sergeant McCormick thought the face of the man was familiar.

"I think that you have been arrested before," said the olficer. "Never," answered the prisoner, fervently. The detective overhauled the pictures In the rogues'' gallery and found there was an amazing likeness hetween Franklin and Charles Franklin Ackley, who was arrested about a year ago on a charge of burglary. Ackley was hold for the action of the County Court and the record had it that sentence was suspended. When Franklin was con fronted with the facts in the case he admitted that he cad been arrested before.

THE DEPARTMENT COMMENDED. Secretary Borden of the Board of Public Charities visited tbe Kings County Buildings, at Flatbush, on Tuesday afternoon, and afte. a thorough inspection, complimented Medical Superintendent Duryea on the. excellent: of the Institutions, comparing them very favorably with any of their kind iu the state.

Clara Zacker, Who Wedded Schwartz When She Was 16 Years Old, Has Her Marriage Annullea.

Trial of actions for divorce and for separations that are now defended came before Justice Wllmot M. Smith, in Supreme Court, special term, this morning. The first to be called was the suit brought by Barbara Ken ney against her husband, Joseph J. Kenney, an undertaker, of 289 Smith street, for a separation, on the ground of cruelty. The trial brought to mind an occurrence at the Mon tauk Theater, one evening three weeks ago, when there was a disturbance in the corridor, after the play was over.

Mrs. Kenney, the plaintiff In the suit, tried to day, was accompanied by a man not the defendant. Mr. Kenney, the plaintiff, said on the witness stand this morning, made a disturbance and Interfered with her. The matter was of sufficient importance at the time to call for articles in the newspapers.

Mrs. Kenney did not go into particulars about it In her testimony. She said that it was the only time, however, that her husband had molested her in public since the suit was brought Mrs. Kenney testified that her husband had assailed her three times between February, 1894, and August 29, 1894. On the last occasion ho threw her out of bed, she said, and kicked her in the side.

Justice Smith granted a separation and allowed her $25 a month, the sum that Kenney has been paying as alimony. An annulment of marriage was granted to Clara Schwartz from Wolf Schwartz of 84 Sheriff street, Manhattan. The wife went on the witness stand and testified that she was married at the City Hall in Manhattan in July, 1897.

She went with Wolf Schwartz to one of the Aldermen in the City Hall and she eaid, in answer to questions, that she was 16 years old. The Alderman would not marry them and they went away. After they were outside Schwartz, as the witness said, told her to go back with him and say that she was 18 years old. She consented and they went before another Alderman, who married them. She went to her father's home at once, at 73 Cannon street, and never lived with her husband.

Herman Zucker, father of the plaintiff, went on the witness stand aDd testified that he had harbored his daughter since the marriage and had never consented to the ceremony. The husband, he said, had run away from her. His daughter, the plaintiff, who brought the suit through him, as guardian ad litem, was bora, he said in Austria in 1882. A decree of absolute divorce was granted to Henrietta Cheriff from Hadji Cheriff, an acrobat. The corespondent was a stage dancer, named Zara, and witnesses for the plaintiff testified that they had been introduced to Zara as the wife of the defendant In a flat at 264 West Fifty fourth street, Manhattan, in 1898.

Zara was living with the defendant as his wife. A photograph was put in evidence by Lawyer Francis A. Corrao, counsel for the plaintiff. It showed Hadji Cheriff in a gorgeous attire as a Turk. One of the witnesses for the plaintiff was Anton Abu Hedar, one of the acrobats who perform with the defendant.

A decree of absolute divorce was granted to Dora Llpeky from Joseph Lipsky, with $2 a week alimony. It was shown by testimony that the defendant had been with women not his wife in Allen street. Manhattan. Justice Smith granted a decree of absolute divorce in favor of Anna Waterman, blonde, from Sol Waterman, formerly head usher in the Olympia Theater, Manhattan. The marriage was in Illinois in August.

Frederick Mahlan of 94 Ralph street, oh tained a decree of absolute divorce from Amelia Mahlan. who, a3 testified, was married to the plaintiff on January 17, 1S96. Mr. Mahlan testified that he went to California in March, 1S98, and when he returned East a year later, his wife had disappeared.

Jacob Essig of 400 South Fourth street, testified that he married the defendant in April, 1S98. He said that he did not know that the defendant was married at the time. When he found out that she had been married they had a few words and he went his way and she went hers. Samuel E. Kelly of 969 Flushing avenue testified that he had served the papers on the defendant the Manhattan Music Hall on the Bowery, Manhattan.

She thank ed him when he handed the summons and complaint to her and said that she had been expecting them for some time. A decree of absolute divorce was also granted to Susan Kilpatrick in her suit against Thomas Kilpatrick. They were married in Belfast, Ireland, In 1892. and when the couple came to this country, Mrs. Kilpatrick said, her husband forsook her and her child by him, and went to live with a woman named Emma He is living with Emma still and has a daughter by her.

Her Career. An old woman, dressed in the weeds of a widow, was sent to the Penitentiary for six month3 this morning by Magistrate Brenner of the Adams street court, on a charge of vagrancy She had been arrested by Detectives Desmond and Frederick Lynch of Captain Reynolds' office as a suspicious person. When she was taken to the detectives' office she described herself as Rebecca Colson, aged 60 years, a cook, of 14 Atlantic avenue. The last time she had been there, in 1896, she had said that her name was Annie Lewis. She was arrested for picking the pocket of a woman in one of the dry goods stores on Fulton street.

Mrs. Colson, or Lewis, is fat and has a pathetic look at all times on her somewhat dumpling face. The last time she was arrested her picture was taken for the rogues' gallery, and, is still there, numbered 2.034. She gave the official picture maker, Mr. Shep ard, a lot of trouble on that occasion.

While he was arranging a pose she deftly removed two sets of false teech. and when the photograph developed the man at the camera was surprised that the negative did not in any way resemble her. By that time the teeth had been replaced, and for a while Mr. Shep ard was puzzled. He finally found the solution to the mystery of the haggard and sunken face that was on the negative and he proceeded to outwit tho sitter.

Ho slipped another plate into the camera and then he oegan a conversation with the woman which interested her. While she was thus completely off her guard he pressed the bulb which released the shutter of the lens. A second or two of exposure was sufficient and he got a very good picture, indeed. The woman was convicted of the charge of picking pockets, but because of her age and her sanctimonious plea for mercy Judge Aspinall suspended sentence. Since then her lines have fallen in unpleasant places and she has been supporting herself by mendicancy.

For the last three months she has been begging from officeholders and others around the public buildings, but she tried to keep away from the policemen who knew her. Yesterday she was in several of the dry goods stores and young James Reynolds, the son of the head of the local detective service, told stories about her visits to the dry goods store, where he is a special detective, that led Captain Reynolds to believe that it would be safer to have her locked up before the holiday shopping commenced: So he sent out two of his officers yesterday and had her arrested. It was quite clear that she was a vagrant and she was proven guilty and sent away until the Christmas rush in the big stores is over. AROUSED BY BURGLARS. Miss Starkey and Her Mother Had a Rather Startling Experienca Election Night.

Miss Emily Starkey, who lives with her mother at 141 Wilson street in the Eastern District, had a very unpleasant experience with a burglar early Wednesday morning last. Mrs. Starkey and Miss Starkey had been to Westfield, N. on election day and returned home about 10 o'clock in the evening. Half an hour afterward they retired.

Miss Starkey first seeing that all the doors and windows were secure. Both slept in separate beds in a large rear room on the first floor. There were some six persons sleeping in the rooms upstairs. About 3:30 o'clock in the morning. Miss Starkey was aroused by a noise in the room.

In the dim light she was able to discern the figuro of a man crawling along the floor. She instinctively called for her mother and by the time the latter was aroused the man had reached the door and descended liy ihe stairway to the basement. Mrs Starkey and her daughter at once aroused everyone in the house and a young man volunteered I go to tho Lee avenue police station for assistance. The sergeant on duty sent four officers around Neither Mrs. Starkey nor her daughter, nor.

as a matter of fact, anyone in the house, dared go into the basement until the police came. When the police did arrive, which was in a very few minutes, three officers went down to the basement while a fourth kept watch outside It was clear after an examination that the burglar, or burglars, for there may have been two, effected an entrance by tho front basement window, the catch of which was broken and thrown away and that they had left that way. In the basement the police found that the furniture had been very much disarranged by the intruders, who had made arrangements to carry off all the plunder they could. A valise which Mrs. Starkey took with her to Westfield the previous day had been broken open and the contents ransacked and scattered, the drawers of a chiffonier had been pulled out and the contents examined.

Some articles of furniture had been arranged as If a deliberate plan had been made to carry them off. It was found that two solid silver table napkin rings, a pair of opera glasses, some old coins, and other articles had been stolen. After the discovery of the daring robbery the police scoured the neighborhood, but could find no trace of the burglars. According to the usual custom, the matter was kept secret until this morning, when it leaked out. The police have been assisted in the search Tor the burglars by the very accurate description of the burglar, considering the conditions, given by Miss Starkey While having had no chance of seeing hfs face, Miss Star key snys the man was about 5 feet 7 inches tall and wore a dark slouch hat.

and overcoat Mrs. Starkey had only an opportunltv of seeing tho man just at the moment he disappeared inio the hallway and when his back was turned. WILL VISIT LONG ISLAND.

while walking along the canal at the foot of Sackett street fell into the water. He was1 pulled out by John Hackett of 22 Lawton street and resuscitated by Ambulance Surgeon Bailey. In addition to his bath ho got five days in jail for being intoxicated. "OranKeine" conibines several agencies dDlicat. ly balanced, to secure "Ilfe and fPH'dom frcm i of Mailing Letters on the Sabbath.

Upon these verses, 13 and 14 of Isaiah lviii, has been built the foundations of a society that is intended to revolutionize many things. It is a modest, unassuming little society now, but its founder believes that it will wax large and prosperous and spread like a green bay tree in a southwest Georgia tawamp. "Down with Sunday newspapers, Sunday street cars. Sunday letters and sundry other Sunday institutions," is the battle cry of the men who are fighting under the banner of this society. "The Society of the Five Don'ts" is the title of this unique organization, which is thriving in Brooklyn.

There is something very attractive about the name. Henry N. Miles, the founder of the society, who lives at 660 Qulncy street, says he chose the name because of its quaint attractiveness. Here are the fire don'ts to which all the members pledge themselves to cleave for one year and probably longer: THE FIVE DON'TS. 1.

Don't ride simply for pleasure on Sunday. 2. Don't (suve In an ocean voyage) ride in a public conveyance on Sunday. Don't read a Sunday newspaper on Sunday. 4.

Don't buy anything on Sunday, except In case of an emorg' 'ney. 6. Don't mad letters on Sunday. And here is the pledge which Mr. Niles' converts must sign: SOCIETY OF THE FIVE DOXT'5.

Motto: "For oven Christ pleased not Hims olf." Romans Read Jsnlah PLEDGE. Realizing the prevalence of Sabbath desecration and the bles.finK that a holy observance of the Lord's Day brings to individuals, to homes, to churches and ij nations, conscious also of the power of example, I promise to make it a rule to observe "The Five Don'ts" until one year from the first of next January. I further promise to keep a record of the numler of times that 1 consider it necessary to deviate from this rule nnd send a letter to the secretary In December of each year stating how many times I have broken my rule, how many I have Influenced to loin the society and some facts reKasd inp myself which may be of interest to other members and promote a better acquaintance. My second and succeeding; annual letters shall state my intention to continue a member of the. society for another year or my desire to withdraw therefrom.

Mr. Miles is not over enthusiastic over his society; on the contrary he says he fore sees many obstacles he will have to surmount He admits that it will he hard to break people of their evil habits, hut he Is determined and is hopeful. Sunday newspapers, according to Mr. Niles, can be easily dispensed with. There is no supposed necessity for them, like there is for street cars, and he thinks that by judicious advertising of his society in the newspapers he will eventually succeed in undermining the Sunday adjunct to the journalistic establishments of the country.

He has already since last August secured over twenty members, who have pledged themselves not to read the Sunday newspapers on Sunday. The members have not promised and, indeed, the pledge does not ask them to promise that they will not read Sunday newspapers on Monday. They also forgot to pledge themselves not to listen while their wives read the Sunday newspapers. Mr. Miles says that there will be no danger of this way of getting around the pledge as the members are pledged to hot buy anything on Sunday As several hundred thousand Sunday papers are delivered on subscription without the necessity of buying them every Sunday morning, Mr.

Niles will have to insert another don't, making it a violation of the law to allow a Sunday newspaper in the house on Sunday. The theory upon which Mr. Miles expects to abolish street cars, newspapers, letter mailing and like Sunday abominations is this He argues that the cars will cease to run after he gets enough persons to promise not to ride on them; that the newspapers will cease to inflict themselves on the public when his membership grows large enough to take away all the readers; that places where goods are sold on Sunday will close after people cease to buy, and that the United States mail service will take a Sunday off every week when the people become FIve don'ters and stop mailing letters on Sunday Mr. Miles does not believe that the simple offense of riding on cars and mailing letters on Suuday is scandal magnatum, but the trouble, he says, comes in that this offense involves the labor of others. All the Five don'ters must walk to church.

One member now walks from A'anderbilt avenue to the Reformed Church on the Heights, oven though he has six painful corns. Mr. Miles points to this sacrifice with considerable pride. He says it is the way for all men to ao ana women, too. tor tne society is not confined to men.

There is oue woman mem ber in Colorado who signed a long distance ijiu'ifce. uues uui expect transatlantic passengers to get off their ships when Sunday comes around. "I organized this society." said Mr. Miles, "when I was out in Montclair. M.

for the summer, me suggestion came to me waen i neara a young man vno is a memoer of tne Tompkins Avenue Congregational Church say that he never rode in the cars on Sunday. every one of the offenses which are named in the five don'ts. But that set me to thinking and I thought of this society. I have been agreeeably surprised at the large membership I have secured so far. I hope by the aid of the newspapers to soon spread the society all over the country." "Do you think it is any harm to ride to church on Sunday?" Mr.

Miles was asked. "In the city a man always lives close enough to his church to walk, and in the country everybody has a horse and buggy to ride iu," responded the reformer. "Do you read Sunday newspapers?" the reporter asked Mr. Miles. "Mot on Sunday." Mr.

Niles answered. "Well, don't you think that a great deal of work is necessary on Sunday, like the postal service and trains "Say. young man, are you a Christian?" broke in Mr. Miles. This flustered the reporter and Mr.

Miles got down his Bible and read. He read Isaiah, the verse on which the Don't society is built as a solid rock, and he talked of the promises of the scripture. Then Mr. Miles showed the reporter some letters that he had received from enthusiastic co workers, who promised to make their wives or husbands join. He said he was sorry his income was not sufficient to permit him to stop his secular employment and devote his whole life to the spread of the creed of tbe Five don 'tera.

Mo officers have been elected to the society as yet. Mr. Miles is acting as the entire official staff. Mo dues are charged. It is the least expensive society in existence and all members arc welcomed.

The primary object of the society is the promotion of a closer fellowship among those who believe in a strict observance of the Lord's Day. On the receipt of a two cent stamp at the headquarters of the society at Mr. Miles' home. 60 Quiney street, a circular with the pledges ana live don ts will De sent to any address. Mr.

Miles is hopeful of a continuance of the rapid growth ot his organization and expects to win in the end. "Don't put that, in the Sunday paper," Mr. Miles eaili out to the reporter as he left. CHARGES OF LARCENY. Anthony M.

Captain Reynolds' Men Still Working on the Murder Ferris' Disappearance Explained. Captain James Reynolds of the Detective Bureau said to day that, while there was nothing new In the Hardy murder case, he bad not given up hope of solving the mystery. Last night Hardy's grandfather called at local police headquarters and said that, while the members of the family had given up hope of having the mystery solved, they were satisfied with the work of the police in the case.

There was no reflection at any time on what had been done by Captain Reynolds' detectives to solve the mystery. Mr. Reynolds assured his caller that he had not by any means an Idea that the mystery could not be solved. He promised to keep at work on the case until there was no hope of securing any information about the brutal murder. One of the sensational papers said this morning that there had been two new arrests In the case, but inquiry at head quarters failed to result in a confirmation of this story.

There was no record of arrests on any of the returns and Captain Reynolds declared that it was not true that additional arrests had been made. He said that he still had men at work on the matter and that he hoped to hear something from them. He was asked if the rumor about James Ferris, who was with young Martin in the launch of the Naval Reserve, at Fort Hamilton, on the night of Hardy's disappearance was true. "Yes and no," said the captain. "The fact of the matter is that Mr.

Ferris left town some time before the arrest of Martin. We do not want him as a matter of fact, for all that branch, of the case seems to be perfectly cleared up. There is nothing at all suspicious In the absence of young Ferris from the city. He is not at present working and the condition of his affairs Is such that he does not care to secure work. He was employed in a warehouse in Manhattan and had a good place, but the business was absorbed in one of the industrial trusts and he was discharged.

It would seem that he had a contract or something of that kind with his former employers and his parents, who are well to do people and who live on Union street, are backing his claim with a suit. While the suit Is pending there is nothing for Ferris to do, for he considers that he is still under contract to work. That being the situation of the case at present there is nothing for him to do. Some time before we arrested his companion; Martin, he went away on a sailing expedition, and he has not been in town since. But we do not want him and we are not looking for him.

If we desired to have him his people would readily bring him here for an explanation. We do not need it. I have gone all over that branch of the case with the District Attorney and we have agreed that there is nothing in it as far as Martin and Ferris are concerned." COUNTY COURT TRIALS. both of the branches of the County In Court trial of actionB will begin for the November term on Monday next. Judge Joseph Aspinall will preside in tbe civil branch'.

Part II, and Judge William B. Hurd, will occupy the bench in Part I at the criminal branch.
