FEENEY NOT READY FOR HEARING Man Accused of Swindling Florists Will Be Arraigned Monday.

John Doe, the young man who was arrested Saturday night on a charge of having passed worthless checks on two Fulton street florists in exchange for American Beauty roses and money, has been fully identified as W. H. Feeney of Troy. X. a brother in law of former Mayor Fitzgerald of that place and a man of respectable connections, but exceedingly bad habits.

He was in the Adams street court to day for hearing. The first of the witnesses against him was one of the florists who had been swindled, who told his story. Magistrate Brenner asked Doe if be had any questions to ask the witness. "Why." said the young man, "I have not said that I was ready to go on with this hearing. I am not ready as a matter of fact, and have nothing to say until I can hear from my legal adviser.

I had hoped to have my counsel here ere this." "Then I will adjourn this hearing," announced the magistrate, quite willing to oblige. "When will your lawyer be here?" "Saturday." responded the prisoner, but that did not suit the bench and the case was put over for hearing on Monday next. After he had been sent back to the pen a man who was brought into the court by one of the detectives recognized the prisoner as a former member of Company One Hundred and First United States Volunteers, who had been with the regiment at Camp Black. He had been telling stories of the wild doings of young Feeney in the regiment. WOMEN WERE DISCHARGED.

Accused of Attempted Kidnaping, but Satisfied Magistrate Worth That No Crime Was Intended. Mrs. Catharine Duffy of 102 Xewell street and Mrs. Cecelia Ackerman of 156 Norman avenue, who were arrested a few days ago fore Magistrate Worth in the Gates avenue court this morning for examination. Mrs.

Thompson with her little step daughter was present in court and was prepared to press the charge of kidnaping. The prisoners were represented by a lawyer who stated that no crime was intended but that Mrs. Duffy, who was the child's aunt had learned that she was heme" ill treated nnrl tnnl tho she did to only get possession of the child as she was aware that Mrs. Thompson had declined to give her up through spite. Policeman Low of the Ralph avenue station, who arrested the women after he had been informed of the abduction by Stephen Lampart, 11 years old.

of 84 Eidert street. stated that the women had admitted to him that they had taken the child for the reason the Long Island Home. It was while Miss Wendel was at the Long Island Home, under the care of Dr. Wiltse, the superintendent, that the writ of habeas corpus was obtained by Lawyer Snyder for Miss Wendel. It was claimed by Mr.

Snyder that the commitment of Miss Wendel, as well as the transfer to the Long Island Home, was illegal and that the law by which these proceedings were taken is unconstitutional. Justice Marean had Miss Wendel in court on Friday and Saturday, and an extended hearing was had with Lawyer Snyder for Miss Wendel and Bartow S. Weeks for the relatives, who contend that Miss Wendel, having been virtually declared insane, should he kept under restraint, where the care will he gentle but firm. Lawyer Snyder contended that Miss Wendel could not De justly held in the institution at Amityville, where her letters were kept from her and were opened before she could get them. It was contended that she was not permitted even to write to her counsel.

Justice Marean. however, modified that regulation and said that Miss Wendel was to get letters sent to her and that certain freedom should be permitted. His honor to day made an order for the discharge of Miss Wendel. with this written opinion: "The alleged incompetent was adjudged insane and committed by a Justice of the Supreme Court, pursuant to sections 61 and 62 of the insane law. The adjudication was finai and the commitment perpetual, subject only to be terminated by affirmative proceeding on her part, to be taken while in confinement, in which she would be required to give security for costs.

There was nothing provisional or temporal about the adjudication or the commitment. Temporal and provisional restraint is provided for by section 6S. She had no notice of the application, either personal or by substituted service on some person in her behalf, and there was no hearing at which she was either present or represented by any other person. She has been finally adjudged insane and committed to perpetual restraint, without notice or hearing. She is f.eprived of her liberty, therefore, without due process of law.

(People vs. St. Savior's San tarium. 34, 363). The insanity lw, so Iir as it permits this, is in violation of the onstitution.

"When one has been duly adjudged insane, when his status as an insane person has been fluiy established, personal notice, or notice of proceedings affecting his interest, may be dispensed with, if it appears that such service would be prejudicial to his mental condition. But. for the protection of those who are sane, it ought not to he tolerated that anv person should be adjudged insane and finally committed, without cither notice or actual hearing.

Colored Chef Said a Policeman Abused Him, but Was Pound Guilty of Disorderly Conduct.

George Norman, who is the chef in the residence of Mrs. Mary A. Ehrhardt, at 177 Columbia Heights, was on hearing this morning in the Adams street court, on a charge of disorderly conduct, which was preferred by Detective O'Brien, of the Adams street sta tion. The stories of the two men about the occurrence were widely different and Magistrate Brenner was puzzled for a while about the case. Finally he found Norman guilty and suspended sentence.

But the occurrence was so strange In itself that it is not at all unlikely that more will be heard of it. The statement of O'Brien was to the effect that at 3 o'clock on the morning of Friday last, he was sitting in a Raines law hotel at 223 Fulton street, eating a beefsteak, when Norman, who is colored and whom he had never seen before, came in and began abusing him. After he had abused him for some time the man went out and O'Brien followed him. The detective says that Norman ran until he reached the door of his employer's house, on Columbia Heights, when another officer appeared and placed the colored man under arrest. The other policeman testified to the fact that when he saw O'Brien following the maja he held him Norman, who is a quiet looking, well dressed man of middle age, said that on Thursday night he had been out bowling and started from the alley shortly after 1 o'clock.

On his way home he thought he would stop in at the saloon for a glass of beer. He saw O'Brien, whom he had never seen before and whom he did not know as a policeman or detective, sitting at a table with another white man. The two were talking politics and Norman says that O'Brien was very much excited. He called the witness a foul name and when Norman remonstrated, according to the colored man's story, retorted: "You niggers ought to go on your knees to the white man." Norman says he became angry and continued to say that colored men were law abiding and honest as well as men of white skins. Then, according to Norman, O'Brien drew a revolver and threatened him.

Norman went out of the saloon and O'Brien followed him, still with the revolver in his hand. When thev got into tne street orman confesses that he told O'Brien that if he would put down the revolver and fight like a man he was willing to show that he was not afraid. Instead O'Brien still kept the revolver in his hand and followed him to the house at Columbia heights. There the other policeman who was on duty in the neighborhood placed him under arrest. He declared that O'Brien and the other officer tore his coat from his back.

Mrs. Ehrhardt, Norman's employer, and a servant from the house, appeared in his behalf. The former said that Norman was well behaved. She said that she heard the fuss at the door of her home on the morning of the occurrence and dressed herself when she found that it was her chief cook who was in trouble. She later went to the police station and she declared that when she wantsfl tn talk to the sergeant at the desk about her chef.

O'Brien seized her roughly by the arm, pinching it, and pushed her away. "My arm was black next day," said Mrs. Ehrhardt, in the course of her statement, "but I could not say, of course, that it was caused by O'Brien." FUNERAL OF REV. T. J.

PLANS FOR STRINGING CABLES. Rapid Progress Made Within the Past Week on the Land Span in Brooklyn. This afternoon the New East River Bridge Commissioners, it is expected. sign the contract awarded the Pennsylvania Steel Company for the construction of the steel approaches of the bridge on both sides of the river. The contract has already been signed by the company, who are busily engaged at their shops preparing the drawings for the work on the approaches.

By the beginning of the new vpar rhprofm ti ir cun rpnsnnnViW n0ped that a commencement will have been made wifh fh h. no on the big structure, the last contract to be given out being the construction the plazas. The bid of the Pennsylvania Steel Company was $2,441,000. or $1,464,000 for the Manhattan approach and for that in Brooklyn. Mayor Van Wyck yesterday afternoon approved the $4,000,000 bond issue for the New East River Bridge.

This morning Controller Coler advertised for bids for $500,000 of this bond issue, the proposals to be opened on November 20. It is not necessary to sell all of the bonds at once, as the money is not all required at once, though the whole authorization was needed before the contracts could be executed. The stringing of the first wire across the river, which will be regarded as an important event in the history of the construction of the bridge, is still some distance off. "Four or five weeks at least must elapse before we can be in a position to string the first wire," said an official of the J. A.

Roeb lmg Sons Construction Company, in the offices of the company, at Kent avenue and South Fifth street, to day. The set of eight temporary saddles which will be required to hold the cables of the two temporary bridges have not yet arrived from the foundries where they are being manufactured. According to the plans of the new bridge special positions on the saddle beds on the tops of the towers have been laid out for these temporary saddles. They will be removed after the main cables are up. The total cost of the two temporary bridges, which will also have to be removed before the main span is completed, will be about $200,000.

In other words, that sum alone will have to be spent for purposes of construction on this section alone. Taking the whole situation into account it is doubtful if the first cable will be strung until after the new year. It will consist of three strands of wire twisted together and will he unreeled from a lighter which will cress swiftly from tower to tower. There will be at this time no interruption of river traffic, because the cable as it runs from the stern of the lighter will immediately sink lu mc ueo oi tne river. The operation will resemble in some respects the laying of a telegraph cable.

When the cable is being raised there will be an interruption of traffic on the river for about ten minutes. The raising will be done by means of hoisting machinery working from the anchorages on toth sides of the river. Better progress has been made within the past week in the work on the Brooklyn land span by the contractors, the New Jersey Steel and Iron Company. For some reason which has not been ascertained there have been great delays in the carrying on of the work on this contract, much to the disappointment and annoyance of the higher bridge officials. Now, however, there are about 130 mon at work on the land span on this side and riveting is proceeding briskly.

About 3G0 feet of the end span have been completed and it is now gradually nearing the tower. th span is supported by an intermediate tower of steel between the anchorage and the main tower, a commencement will be made about a week nence by removing the false work underneath. All the saddles for the main cables are on the docks as well as the roller beds relief rigging has to be placed on the tower for raising these heavy sections, it was said to day that it was not expected that an attempt would be made to raise any of the saddles before December 15. The roller beds weigh about twenty six tons each and the saddles thirty six tons each. As the height from the dock level to the top of the tower is iii feet, it can be imagined that the engineering feat of raisins these ssi tinnc ic small difficult CITY BONDS TO BE SOLD.

Mr. Coler said to day he looked for good bidding and high prices.

The city's bonds always command fine premiums and the latter part of November Is considered a good time to sell bonds, as enormous sums of interest are paid the first of the month and money is usually plentiful. THE WEATHER. INDICATIONS TILL P. M. TO MORROW.

P. J. COLLINS THE PURCHASER Will TSfovr Put "Op a Number of Hand' some Houses on Eighth Avenue. The first notable real estate transaction ln Brooklyn to break away from the Bryan em bargo was consummated this morning in the office of Fred M. Smith, at 189 Montague street, when contracts were signed by sev eral parties affecting the improvement of a valuable frontage on the Park Slope.

The total considerations expressed in these con tracts were about $150,000, and all the parties interested are clients of Mr. Smith. The property involved is a frontage of 109.4 feet on Eighth avenue, with a depth of 112 feet, beginning at the corner of Montgomery place and running to the property of Mrs, Greenland, on the corner of Carroll street, This plot was purchased some time ago by the late Mr. Maxwell, John Hannan and Thomas Adams, who occupy the other three corners of Eighth avenue and Carroll street in fine homes, for the purpose of pro i tecting their property from undesirable im i piovements in the immediate neighborhood The next block on Eighth avenue, from Mont gomery place to Garfield place, is cloBely re I stricted, so that the developments to come will be up to a high standard. Peter J.

Collins, the builder, is the pur I chaser of the Eighth avenue lots, giving in exchange the premises at 330 West Eighty fourth street, Manhattan, valued at $25,000. Mr. Collins secured this latter property as one of the features of this whole transaction in exchange with Samuel H. V. Britton, giv ing the new four story and basement fancy stone front Bouse IBS Eighth avenue, at valuation of $26,000.

Mr. Britton is a member of the firm of Matchett manufacturers of confectionery at Wythe avenue and South Eighth street, Brooklyn, and he will come to Brooklyn and occupy his new Eighth avenue house. The price of the Eighth avenue lots owned by Messrs. Hannan, Adams and Maxwell was $46,000, and Mr. Collins gave the difference between the valuation of the Manhattan property and the purchase price in cash.

lueiBupon mr. Adams took the West Eighty fourth street nrooertv for 525.000 time mat ing that property change hands three times in the transaction. Mr. Collins will at once improve the Eighth avenue lots by the erection of a class of residences second to none in Brooklyn, and which will compare favorably with any of the high class houses in the Riverside section of Manhattan. Plans have already been prepared and work will begin as soon as title passes.

Says He Is Sorry He Killed His Wife and Hopes He Will Die. Joseph B. Freitag. who shot his wlf in. beth, killing her, yesterday morning, at her aome, 4tu Mumboldt street, and then put two bullets in his own head, is still alive at the eastern District Hospital, where he was re moved, and there is now thought to be i slight chance of his recovery.

He is how ever, very weak. He regained consciousness last night and when told that his wife was aeaa he appeared to feel very sorry and said "If I have killed my wife, I am awfully sorry for it and am now sorry that I did not kill myself. As long as she is dead I may as wen oe aeaa, too, and I hope I will die." Freitag further stated that he idolized his wife, but that she did not love him. He said that he was happy until his daughter married ana orougnt nome fler husband and then he became miserable. He does not say, however, what reason he had for killing his wife.

It has been learned that the dead woman had been continually annoyed by her husband and feared that he would do her some narm. on several occasions she had him arrested, but he always manaced to elpar him. self. The last time Freitag was in court on the complaint of his wife, Mrs. Freitag re quesiea tne magistrate to send him to some institution, but the man made such an ear nest plea for another chance, promising to behave himself, that the magistrate allowed him to go.

Shortly after this occurrence Mrs. Freitag engageu a lawyer to commence proceedings for separation, but for some reason the action was never begun. Recently Freitag had been drinking heavily, according to his son in law, Henry Bartsch, and spent all his earnings in liquor. Bartsch, by the way, is spoken well of by all the friends of the fami ly. In speaking to a reporter he said that Mrs.

Freitag was compelled to leave her husband because of his cruelty. The woman, be said, was very Industrious, and beside doing dressmaking was employed as a Janitress at the German Emanuel Reformed Church, on Graham avenue, near Scholes street. It is said that the funeral will take place from the church. INDEX To Classified Advertisements in Today's Eagle. CXABSIFinATIOX.

Saengerfest Programme Publisher Accuses German Societies of Double Dealing. A bill of particulars was asked for by Lawyer Nicholas Dletz, this afternoon before Justice Wllmot M. Smith in Supreme Court, special term, in the suit ot the United States German Singers of the City of Brooklyn against Charles Vanhof "and John W. Fleck, with whom John Weimann is interpleaded.

It is claimed by the plaintiff that John Wei mann, under a contract, was to pay $500 to the plaintiff for permission to publish the of ficial programme of the United German Sing ers for the celebration in Brooklyn last June, and also $1,000 for the privilege of publishing the souvenir. The plaintiff alleges that Wei manu has paid only $250 in one case, and nothing on the other claim, and is suing his sureties, Vanhof and Fleck. In his answer, Weimann alleges that the plaintiff allowed the other parties to publish and circulate a souvenir and that the plaintiff warned advertisers not to pay money to him. He also sets up a counter claim for which he demands judgment. Weimann sureties say that in one instance the plaintiff failed to collect the money from Weimann and that in another case the agreement was not with the plaintiff, but with the Verelnlgte Saenger.

Justice Smith reserved his decision. CANARSIE IN COURT. Prisoner Charged With Attempted Sui cide Eainted Carl Hube Was Discharged. There was both feinting and fainting among the Canarsie delegation in the Grant street police court this morning. Charles Freleigh, 21 years old, of Avenue Canarsie, who on Sunday night took a dose of sugar of lead, with the intent, as alleged, to take his own life, because Katie Pfiefer, a young woman of his acquaintance, did not return his affections, was given an examination by Magistrate Steers.

No proof being produced by the Police Department to show that he Intended to take his life. Fre leigh was discharged from custody. In attempting to leave the witness chair he faint ed and was caught by two policemen before he fell to the floor. He was half carried, half dragged to a hallway, where, after a dash of water in the face, he soon recovered consciousness. Many women in the court from Canarsie, attracted by the case, burst into tears when Freleigh was carried from the court room, and had but recovered their composure when the case of Cart Hube was called.

Hube was arrested Monday night by Detec tive Crean of the Canarsie Precinct on plaint of the Rev. John H. Ficken, formerly pastor oi tne Canarsie German Reformed Church. Hube married Ficken's daughter and, as allleged, he came home on Monday night and began to abuse his wife. The former minister, who is S3 years old, arose from his bed and attempted to quiet the disturbance, but for his pains Hube put him out of doors after beating him.

The matter was settled between the parties and this morn ing, there being no appearance for the plaintiff, Hube was discharged. As he turned to leave the bench a woman dressed in black and wearing a black vail came running up the aisle and threw her arms about his neck. The woman was said to be his wife. When they both reached the court yard they embraced again and then both of them fell in a faint on the graBS. They were quickly revived.

The court officers say that in both cases the principals were bluffing. Burnett's Vanilla is pure. Don't let your grocer work oft a cheap and dangerous substitute. Insist on having Burnett's. SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS.
