The diflionlty of selecting objective points at tho Navy Yard where tho pruning knife of tho Secretary of tho Navy may bo usod with best advantage, which has thus far been great on account of the paucity of Republican retainers installed, is responsible, together with the inability of tho local leaders to settle on a plan of distribution of the patronage, for the iardiness which has characterized tho process of political metamorphosis. Seoretary Tracy has mado a pretty good record for himself on the Bcoro of his man ipulation'of the boss mechanics and labor foremen, thus looking after the beloved workingman of the Grand Old Party first. Recent developments show that he has also turned his attention to the clerical force with deadly effect. There is now only one Democratic receiver left iu tho Storekeeper's Department.

Mr. Squires, the Fourth Warden, whose appointment as a receiver was announced yesterday, is said to have been backed by Michael J. Dady aud General McLocr. Ho is a Grand Army man and a member of Mallery Tost. A somewhat interesting story is told of Joseph Paves, whom Squires displaces.

It is said that Payes just previous to tho Presidential election was chosen president of a Democratic association in the Twenty sixlh Ward, but that when he found how tho tide had turned he renounced his allegiance and made connections with tho Republican party. Congressman Wallace, however, is credited with having gotten on his track and he had to walk the plank. Mr. DoWolf, the Secretary's appointee as chief clerk of the Construction Department in place of Evangelides, is littlo known at the yard. Paymaster Burtis had the pleasant duty to day of paying off the men who havo been recently discharged.

They were eager to get their money, of course, not knowing where their next pay will como from. Meanwhile rows of Republicans wero squatted in tho shade of tho big construction building ready to "catch on." Commodore Ramsay, commandant of the yard, finds time to exercise a little supervision of the laborers in TJnclo Sam's interest. The other day he found an old workman in the construction department, named Lyons, strolling about at his ease considerably before the time to knock off. Lyons explained that he had been talking to sonic friends. Ho was discharged and to day he appeared at the yard in Grand Army uniform with various medals and insignia.

He avows his determination of joining tho marines if the Republicans don't want him after the showing he has mado. Because the Surgical Operation Killed Kis Friend. How a Mau Who Did Nat Expect to Leaf the Hospital Alive Disposed of FortJ Thousand Dollars. Charles II. Edwards died last October in St Luke's Hospital, New York.

He was a bachclot of considerable means, and had resided for many with Mr. James A. Hidden, an old friend and schoolmate, who is eu.tag 1 in the real flstata business at 70 Broadway, Eastern District, and who lives Pit South Fourth street. day before Mr. wont to th hospital he handed to Mr.

Hidden, in tho preseneo of Mrs. a tin box, to which the key was att.iehe.l by a ribbon, at the samo time telling Mr. Hidden that he did not know that ho (Edwards) had a relative in world. They had always been good he added, and ha regarded him as brother, if (be operation ta which he was about to submit terminated fatally the box and all it contained belonged to Mr. Ridden.

Next day Edwards went to the hospital and in ten days ho was dead. The day after lvil death Mr. and Mrs. Hidden opened thu box tl look for the deed to a burial plot which they knew he had purchased and found it on tho top of th contents.asif he had placed it tliere ready to hand, iu case it should be needed. It was evident ho scarcely expected to leave the hospital alive.

Alter the funeral Mr. and Mrs. Ridden, for tho first time, examined the contents of the box, and to their surprise found savings bank books showing deposits aggregating 40,000. Some timo afterward, when Mrs, Ridden was cleaning up tho apartment which Mr. Edwards had occupied, she found a letter iu Mr.

Edwards' handwriting, aud addressed to herself and husband. It was dated September 30, 1SBM, and read as follows: James A. liitldrn: FniK.VD Jim Should I not survive from the effects of the operation about to be performed on mc at St. Luke's Hospital, this is my last will and request that you wul lake charge of my body and have it placed iu my family vault in Greenwood Cemetery, and also that you will take full charge of all my personal property of every kind, and to havo and to hold the same unto yourself, your heirs and assigns forever. You will find my papers and all my property in the tin box.

C. H. EuwAims. Two or three months ago, however, an alleged relative appeared in tho person of one James H. Thrall, of Jersey City, who claims to bo a cousin ot Mr.

Edwards. He went beforo tho Surrogate of New York and took out letters of administration in that comity on the estate, claiming to be the next of kin. Thou tho public administrator took charge of tho estate Mr. Ridden demanded the deposits, but tho banks refused to part with the moncy.ns Mr. Thrall's action had stopped payment.

Mr. Ridden then began an action through ex Judge Williani D. Veeder agaiiut the banks, Mr. Thrall and tho public administrator, to compel payment. Tho case was on the calendar to day in the Special Term of the Supreme Court, before Judge Pratt.

Mr. Veeder was ready for trial, but the defendants were not and the case went over. MO.VEY MARKET CLOSI.YU REPORT. Itailroad Karnings A llcccivcr ICi pecled for the St. luiii, Arkansas and Texas Stocks Quiet, Although liencr ally strong.

There was absolutely nothing out of tho ordinary way tho matter with either of them. They told me MrB. Jones wanted them to submit to the operation of ovariotomy. She must have been crazy. It would liavo been a crying disgrace to have operated on two such perfectly formed femalcc More than a year ago I expressed to several of my medical friends tho opinion that the number of patients being treat ed by Dr.

Jones by ovariotomy was remarkable ami I proposed that the public attention of tho profession bo called to the facts. I have been practising medieino forty five years and havo only como across two cases where that particular operation was necessary. Tho operation is only justified under tho most pressing nocossity and to save the patient's life. I did not care to mix myself up in any wranglo or to appear to wish to make myself notorious and so took no further steps in the matter. Several cases of this class of operation performed by Dr.

Jones have come within my knowledge, but anxious as I am. and as I believe you will find every member of my profession, to help the Eaolf. in its righteous work, I cannot feel myself justified in giving you their names." Dr. Samuel T. King, the physician referred to by Mrs.

Tweeddale as having, according to Dr. Jones' statement, refused to administer ether until ho had received his fee in advance, was seen at his residence, Clifton place. He said: 1 have administered ether on several occasions for the Drs. Jones. administered it to Mrs.

Tweeddale. I certainly never authorized Mrs. Jones to say that I would not give the ether unless I was paid in advance. I never looked to tho patient for my fees. I looked to Dr.

Jones, who engaged my services. Had I heard Mrs. Jones say what Mrs. Tweeddale reports she did say I should liavo immediately and distinctly contradicted her. I do not remember seeing Mrs.

Tweeddalo give Mrs. Jones any money, but sho might easily have done so without my knowledge. I never received anything liko $35 for administering ether. The usual fee ia about $10. I was connected at ono time with tho staff of tho Fleet Flace Dispensary.

I resigned two years ago. My principle reason for resigning was that I had many opportunitie i of witnessing the result of both doctors operations and I considered many of them absolutely unnecessary. I would rather not express my opinion of their method. only charitable way of explaining some of tho things they have done is to consider them both more or Ices insane." A PLEA BY HILL For the Hew York Mayor's Kapid Transit Measure. He Says that the Suspicion that the Bill Cannot be Passed is a Reflection on the Legislature Which Should he Removed.

Albany, N. May 10. The following letter was sent by the Governor to the Assembly this afternoon State of New York, Executive Chamber,) Albany, N. May 10, To the Legislature: The necessity for providing some relief forNow York City in tho matter of rapid transit is tho pressing question of the hour. The importance of the question cannot be overestimated.

Every citizen of that city understands and appreciates the situation and is looking to the Legislature for nrnmiit and wise action. It is the greatest city upon the Continent, but its prosperity, progress and development are hampered and restricted by lnsumciciit and inadequate means ot travel, i no nrohlem of rapid transit cannot be solved with out legislative action. Mere inaction is denial of relief, and tlie citizens or jnow rorit, wiutoui distinction of party, implore the Legislature not to refuse them the required legislation. The locsl authorities of the city, with great care and en tire unanimity, prepared a general an comprehensive measure, which has come to be known as the Mayor's llapid Transit bill, which was long since introduced in the Legislature, It met with vigorous and unexpected opposition in the Senate, but after much delay finally passed that body and is now pending in the Assembly. It is a measure which is not claimed to be perfect, but it must bo conceded it is reasonably free from objection and is believed to bo sufficient to aceom nsn wie purpose tiesircu.

i is ainniiiai lo no mi innnir, mensure. it has no entangling alliances with any private or corporate schemes, but has been framed absolutely the public interest and is supported by all reputable newspapers in New lorlc (Jitv and lavorod uy neany every represen tative in the Legislature from that city. There seems to be no good reason why it should not bo enacted in the business interests of New York City. The voice of its best citizens anil the sentiment of nil classes, having no private interests to subserve, unite in reuuesting its favorable con sideration. The bill can be beaten in various ways: Bv invoking obstruction by parliamentary tricks and devices, by persistently delaying its progress, bv refnsinir to advance it.

by the insertion of vic ,1 iilili.Rtinn.ihlf amendments, ostensibly de signed to perfect it, but really intended to defeat it, by incumbering and identifying it witn adverse and inconsistent personal, private and cor porate schemes of tlouiitlul propriety, l'uoiic sentiment aroused nun regard 10 too mutter and tho people will not be deceived by opposition of this nature. Those who are not for this merit orious measure are against it It should Lo frankly stated that suspicion is abroad that this measuro cannot be passed unless some concessions of a political character snail accompany and me delavs intei'Dosed to its progress and the circum stances surrounding its opposition have seemed to jusiify this suspicion, is a reiieetion upon the Legislature which should be promptly removed. Tho bill is not a political one, lolitieal promises or considerations suouiu not hp c'ictod as a condition to its nussage. It is em phatically the peoples bill and should be fairly reatcd and honestly consuii reii upon us morns, and either be passed or rejected without promises or bargains of any kind. Thus far it is not claimed that any improper influences havo been invoked to aid its enactment.

It is dillieult to comprehend or explain why representatives from the country districts of the State, whose constituents or themselves are in no manner directly affected, refuse to favor a measure for the benefit of Mew iork City, supported by all the best citizens of New iork and by all its principal newspapers, and naturally such an unfriendly attitude arouses the gravest apprehensions and leads to the intimation that political or other influences have instigated such action. It is due to the good name and fame of the Legislature that this subject be so promptly and fairly disposed of as to merit the confidence and approval of the people. It is practically cor am if the Mayor's bill does not pass, there will be no relief this year. It is to be hoped that the bill will not be defeated by inaction or 11 clearly understood tnat ic. m' usmi: upon which I am urging action does ot compel (lie adoption, or designate or even i.iit'.ate any parnculur system or plai or uviee, to se uro rapid transit for New iork City's great and increasing population.

It imply comers upon nie iiutnoi iwes 01 luiu city the power to select some method which will give needed relief to the hundreds of thousands of those who are compelled to travel between their homes and their workshops or oinces. A retusai bv a majority of tie Legislature, to grant a possi nlity ot suen a relict is an oitence against tne lghts ol the multitudes 01 our niosi industrious citizens, which assuredly would not Do condoned. I deem it my duty to earnestly and respectfully urge a prompt consideration of the Kapid Transit measure now penning oeiore you. us passage wilt be hailed with approval uy an good citizens and will reflect the greatest credit upon the present Legislature and render the session memorable Or all time.

Secretary Tracy to day completed the purchase of a residence for himself and family. The houso ia the one at 1,034 I street, owned by Paymaster Bacon, of tho Navy, and recently occupied by ex Ostmaster General Don M. Dickinson. It fronts on Farragtit Square, across the park from Senator Stanford's mansion. It is one block from Wana maker's house, formerly the home of the Whit noys, and is only a Btone'3 throw from the Whito House.

It is an elegant dwelling, as good as new and it is understood that General Tracy paid be ween $45,000 and $50,000 for it. It is interest lie to know that the house is not tno selection ol the general, nor of his wife, nor of his eldest daughter, Mrs. Wilmerding. They had all been house hunting many times since March 4, but could come to no decision. The ladies went back to Brooklyn and left the general at the mercy of io real estate agents, who proceeded to make is life miserable.

He stood it as long as ho could, but near the end of laBt week he was compelled to summon hin youngest daughter, Miss Mattie, to his assistance. She looked at all the houses that had been offered and noted the objections that had been advanced against each of them. Almost in despair the general gave her carte blanche, and then she acted with admirable executive capacity and speed. She called in a first class architect and allowed him the faults of the Bacon houso. She suggested the remedies and he drew the plans for the improvements.

She submitted them to her father, and he hesitated no longer. The house will be altered during the Summer by the enlargement of Bome of the rooms, with a few changes the internal arrangements, and tho family will take possession in October. THE WEATHER. INDICATIONS. Washington, D.

Tho young woman who handed iu the above was so excited that she gave tho address at io Gold street, where the family formerly livel.

A reporter called at that place and found it a three story frame tenement, which looked ne.it and cleanly, and the peoplo residing therein were indignant over the thought that any person would suspect that diptheria held the fort thore. This morning tho Board of Health nuthoritie i set the reporter right by sending him to in Jay street. It is a tenement house, and iu a rear structure the O'Donnell family live. When tho sister of Mr. O'Donnell was asked what caused tho epidemic sho stated that the eldest boy took a cold as the family thought.

It finally developed into diphtheria and the balance of tho children took the disease from him. "You see the yard is very nice mi 1 clean and it could not come from that source," said the yomii' woman, and she was surprised when the reporter pointed to rubbi ih lying about and the throe closets that are in the yard between the fronl and rear houses. All four of Mr. O'Donnoll's children were t.tken down, but Willie, a II year old, managed to pull through all right. The others were interred iu the Cemetery of the Holy Cross, Flatbush.

Three Policemen Share Same Fate. the Why Lawyer Gaytior Abruptly Left the Trial Room His Ineffectual Effort to Save a Patrolman.

Commissioner Bell, at his trial of delinquent policemen this morning, dismissed three patrolmen from the force. Two of the.ie were Robinson, of the Tenth, and Kearney, of the Fourteenth, who were charged, respectively, Willi failing make an arrest and with taking liberties with a woman. Robinson is the officer who entered the cigar store of Mrs. Lulu Anderson, 141A Fifth avenue, with a saloon keeper, on the morning of April JO, and saw the hitler enter Mrs. Anderson's bedroom.

His trial was somewhat breezy ami caused rather a lively tilt between his lawyer, William J. Gaynor. aud the Commissioner. The ease was the first one called. Mrs.

Anderson, the complainant, was attired in a red silk dress and wore a handsome bunnet and blue vail. She carried a white sunshade. When she was called to tho stand a Bible was handed her to swear on. She hesitated and said that she wanted to withdraw the charge. "Oh, no," said Commissioner Bell, "you can't do that here.

I havo secured an attachment to punish you for contempt if you refuse to testify. There is no settling of the thing Mrs. Anderson then submitted to being sworn. She lestiiied that she lived in her present place of residence two months. She saw Officer Kob inson in her store.

A short, stout man was with him. She was in bed at tho time. Her brother, Albert Wendt, called to her to get up. The short, stout man entered her room and grabbed her. Officer Robinson took him by the collar and led him to the door.

Olficor Dcvauey then came in and Robinson told him that there was nothing the matter. Albert Wendt, her brother, then took tho stand and said: I corroborate what my sister has said." "No, you don't," replied Commissioner Bell. "You must tell us what you saw." I don't believe Officer Robinson was in the room when my sister was assaulted. My memory of the affair is not good. I was excited at the Officer Devauny testified that Wendt called him into the store.

He thou met Robinson, who told him that there was nothing the matter. Ma Anderson told him that Robinson had not assaulted her. Robinson then took the stand, and said that Frank Hkelly met him on Fifth avenue and asked him to have a cigar. They went into Mrs. Anderson's store.

Skelly soon left the latter and passed into Mrs. Anderson's room. Robinson heard a woman call "Al," and on going into the room whieh Skelly had entered saw Skelly and Mrs. Anderson sitting on the hitter's bed. He was not on duty at the time, lie had been eleven months on the force.

Skelly did not tell him that he tried to assault Anderson. Robinson was not acquainted with the latter. Commissioner Bell Yon aro not a fit man to bo on the force. Your actions show you to be an unworthy member of the department. 1 don see how you could havo been given a roving commission.

Lawyer Charles F. Gaynor, who appeared for Robinson, said: "Mr. Commissioner, it would bo monstrous to dismiss this man from the force. I say (his now because I believe that such is your intention. I ask you to pause." Commissioner Bell Another officer had to bo brought in and Robinson allowed the man who committed the assault to getaway.

It was hi duty to prevent that. Ho should have arrested him. Lawyer Gaynor I don't think it was. The testimony doesn't show that an offeneo was committed. The power you possess is a dangerous no if 1 arbitrarily, and leaves the best officers on the force liable to dismissal for no gooil Robinson did not neglect his d'lty.

Robinson Mr. Commissioner, Skelly was tried yesterday aftornooii before Justice Walsh and discharged. Commissioaer Bell, (quickly) Yes, and you propose to havo the same kind of a trial here, do you? As soon as these words wero uttered, Lawyer Gaynor seized his hat and jumped to his feet. He grew red in the face, and walking to tho center of tho room, faced the Commissioner and said: "I decline to stay hero any longer after that remark." He then left the room. Commissioner Bell was not in tho least milled by Mr.

Gaynor's withdrawal. He settled himself back comfortably in his chair, and looking at tho officer, said: "Mr. Robinson, there is nothing else for mo to do but to dismiss you from the force." Officer Kearney, of tho Fourteenth Precinct, was charged with taking improper liberties with Mrs. Kransen, wife of a saloon keeper of Hamburgh avenue. Testimony in the case was taken at two previous sittings and published in tho Eaole.

Kearney was found guilty of tho chargo and dismissed from the force. Special Officer Engels, of the Sixth Precinct, was charged with accepting $2 from a prisoner. His shield was taken away from him. Officer James Harrigan, of tho Thirteenth Precinct, who was charged with being intoxicated on Sunday while on duty, secured au adjournment of his trial. The other cases tried by tho commissioner were James Costollo, of the Sixth Pre ciuct, absent without leave, reprimanded; Georgo W.

Thornton, of the Eighth, entering hallway of a liquor store, reprimanded; Patrick II. Keenan, of the Eighth, off post in a ball room, reprimanded; Thomas Johnson, of the Tenth, failure to report from signal box, one day's pay; Luke Byrnes, of tho Tenth, same charge, reprimanded; Patrick H. Conway, of the Tenth, failure to properly patrol his post, two day's pay: George Brennan, of tho Eleventh, absent without leave, one day's pay; James F. Fogarty, of the Eleventh, same chargo, reprimanded; Joseph Mc Mahon, of the Eleventh, absent from roll call, reprimanded; James L. Colahan.of the Fifteenth, off po.

one day's pay; John F. Muldoou, of the Fifteenth, absent from relieving point, reprimanded; John J. Sharkey, of tho Sixteenth, absent without leave and taking beer into the station house stablo, five day's pay; John Mullaney, of the First, failed to signal from patrol box, ono day's pay. MARY CLARK CONFESSED. It la No xv a Question Who Will Sentence Her.

Mary Clark, alias Minnio Sloane, alias Mrs. Thompson, the pretty shoplifter who stole a map peveral weeks ago from the store of Albert Smith, of 700 Broadway, was to have been tried by a jury beforo Justice Kenna this morning, but when the case was called tho young woman changed her plea to ono of guilty. Counselor Goldsmith made a truly eloquent appeal for the prisoner aud asked the Court to be 4iierciful on account of the woman's condition. Justice Kenna said that he would not impose sontenceo day. He understood that there waB a charge upon which Bhe had been paroled hanging over tho prisoner's head in tho Court of Sessions and upon which she could bo sentenced at any time.

Until he heard from tho County Court tho prisoner would have to go back to Jail. The papers woro marked for next Friday. THIRD IIXIVEBSALIST CHUUCTI. At the annual parish meeting of tho Third UnivcrsaliBt Society, yesterday, tho following officers were elected S. M.

Glcason, president; 0. H. Palmateor, church olerk; James English and C. H. Palmateor, trustees for threo years.

Thomas went to tho Eleventh Precinct Station House, to havo his wound dressed aud was sent to tho Long Island Collogo Hospital in charge of an officer, where Dr Baker attended to him.

He refused to make a charge against his sister. Kb Warrant Out for the Defaulting Tax Collector. His Friends Will Make an Effort to Save Him Mr. Piiimor tho Aulhor of a Most Peculiar Theory. The friends of Special Tax Collector Michael J.

Bourke, of East New York, who yesterday confessed to an Eaoi.k reporter that ho was over $20,000 short in his aeoouuts, aro making a strong effort to cover the matter up, so as to give Bourko a chance to iko up his deficiency. They arc working earnestly to prevent his removal from office. His bondsmen, Michael J. Gibbons and John D. Bennett, had a consultation to day with several of Bourke's relatives and friends, and an effort is to bo mado to at once mako up Bourko's deficiency, so as to Imve a ground on which to ask the Board of Supervisors to continue tho defaulter in office.

A representative of (he District Attorney's office has been prominent in the efforts to keep Bourke's shortages quiot so far as tho Eaoxk is concerned. These efforts were unsuccessful. Bourke is popular in tho Twnty sixth Ward and there arc many expressions of sympathy for him. No warrant has yet been issued for his arrest. He is in temporary hiding.

His men have not been able to come up with him He was not at his place of business to day and ueithor was his partner, liyiui. Tho clerks gavo no clew io tho whereabouts of either. Bourke's residence was closed as tight as a drum. No one could be found who had seen him since yesterday. Some of his friends are inclined toex prOHS the belief that he may havo committed suicide, but this theory is generally scouted.

It is moro likely that ho has quietly dropped out of sight for a few days until his bondsmen and friends can a plan for his relief. Then he will emerge from his seclusion. E. F. Linton, the banker at Atlantic and Van Sicklen avenues, with whom Bourke has kept all of his funds and collections on deposit, and who is known as one of Bourke's close friends, having been energetic in securing him tho office, said to an Eaole reporter to day that he knew how things were going three months aso and lougor.

How much longer ho declined to say. Ho said that he did not believe any politicians had struck Bourke for a stake of any size. Bourko had simply frittered money away here and there, mostly in small sums, without taking any account of how he was comiug out. Banker Linton did not believe Bourko had lost much money in land speculations or had spent as much as ho repre sentee! 111 campaign expenses. He thought it likely ho had spout more than tlO.000 in his business.

Mr. Linton declined to say how much money Bourke had ever had on deposit at one time, or whether he now has money on deposit. Ho laughed at tho idea that Bourke would either skip or commit av.icide. Michael J. Gibbons, one of Bourke's bondsmen, told tho reporter he still had the groatost confidence in Bourke's business integrity.

He thought Bourke had been foolish, but had merely made an unintentional mistake, which his wealthy friends and relatives would speedily rectify. He did not think Bourke's office would be taken from him. Further Mr. Gibbons declined to say until ho succeeded iu seeing Bourke. Ho remarked, however, that Supervisor Watson lied if he said that he ever called his attention to Bourke's defalcation.

Mr. Gibbons denied that he had over been in Supervisor Watson's house. He said he knew nothing of Bourke's shortago until ho read his confession in last night's Eaole. Ho was thunderstruck and started out at once to see Bourke, but did not succeed. Mr.

Noycs G. Palmer smiled benevolontly 011 the reporter, removed a long stemmed pipe from his mouth, aud ingenuously observed that it was more than likely that Mr. Bourke waB dazed when ho made his confession and had forgotten Just how much money he had handed ovor to the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Palmer was inclined to conjecture that Mr.

Bourke had paid in fl 0,000, whieh had escaped his memory. Mr. Palmer said ho was merely Mr. Bourke's clerk and had handed over all collections without taking receipts. About $40,000 in all had been collected to date.

Tliere is a good deal of feeling against tho Supervisors on account of whoso ncgligenco Bourke's defalcations were made possible. Ex Supervisor Woopert waB a mild mannered official who is alleged to have had a somewhat vague idea of his duties. Mi'. Forbell is also alleged to hare been lacking in vigilance. The duties of the Supervisors in relation to Bourko are plain.

It is their business to issue him warrants to collect, and they are to receive his collections and his annual reports as to the condition of the same. A RIVER SPECULATOR" IX TROUBLE.

THIS IS THE END Of the Piratical Corporation Advertising Bill. The Assembly Cities Committee Has De cided to Report It Adversely Brooklyn Measures Sifrued by the Governor.

(Special to tho Eagle. Albany, N. May 10. The Assembly Cities Committeo has decided to report the Corporation Advertising bill adversely. report would havo been handed in to day had not Mr.

BURGLARS CARRY OFF A SAFE.

Tucy Then Burr It ltiopciicd Iu Ash Heap. Thieves made a visit to the dry goods Btore of John and Sarah Bolton, 522 Fifth avenue, near Thirteenth street, some time bot.veen D. 30 o'clock Inst night and 4:30 this morning, and got away with a small Marvin safe containing $75 in cash beside a number of valuable papers. The burglars gained an entrance to tho store by forcing a rear cellar window. Some time during tho night or early morning tho stable of O'Kecfe it Mc Konna, on Eleventh street, near Fifth avenue, was also broken into and a horse and light delivery wagon woro taken from the stable.

The animal aud vehicle were found abandoned early this morning, by Roundsman David Rogers, at the corner of Ninth street and Sixth avenue. The polico of the Eighth Precinct made an investigation as soon as the burglary was reported, and after examining tho premises came to the conclusion that the burglars had used the horse and wagon to carry off tho safe. In the rear of the store an alleyway sufficiently wide to admit driving a wagon runs through to Thirteenth Btreet. A high, broad gate shuts off the view of the alley from the street and the work of loading tho safe into the wagon could have been accomplished with little chance of observation from that quarter. That this was the way the work of getting tho safe away was accomplished is pretty certain, for it was found on the dumps in Second avenue this forenoon by some boys who were engaged in picking cinders.

It had been covered over with ashes and was discovered by tho merest accident, having bee placed in an out of the way spot. The boys informed tho police of their find aud it was taken to the station house. It had not boon opened nor was there any indication that it had been tampered with. A citizen saw three men in a wagon drawn by a horse which answers closely to the description of the rig stolen from O'Kecfe McKenna's stable and the polico feel certain that they will have tho men who committed the burglary in custody within twenty four hours.

He was too old and big." NO TRUTH Iff THE RUMOR.

Licbmann Bros. Owlnsrs Iffakc au Emphatic Denial. It was rumored this morning that the firm of Liehmann Bros. A Owings, were about to vacate their present premises on Fulton, Tillary and Washington streets, aud to occupy those of Smith, Gray at Fulton street and Flatbush avenues. A reporter found Colonel John H.

Owings and Mr. Louis Liebmann, at the former's desk and both gentlemen seemed surprised and annoyed when the rumor was stated to them. Colonel Owing's said: "Will you please state iu the Eaole that there is not a single word of truth in tho rumor or the slightest foundation whatever for such a statement. It is absurd. We have not one but two large buildings here and have no desire whatever to go elsewhere.

Wo are quite content where wo are, and mean to remain here. I cannot conceive how such a story could start, and I wish to have it contradicted in the most emphatic manner." Mr. Liobmann bowed acquiescence with Colonel Owings' statement and Baid ho could not under dorstand why peoplo should think such a step on their part probable, and certainly there was not an iota of chance of their leaving their present establishment.

W. XL Barnum. Because Controller Brinkerhoff Has Appointed His Son To a Place in His Office TVhat the Con Irolier Has to Say iu Reply Candidates for the Late Albert Wild's $2,000 I'osi tion. Some of the boys about the city buildings were complaining to day because Controller Brinkerhoff had appointed his son, William II. Brinkerhoff, to a place in his office.

They said it was all wrong for an officeholder to appoint any relative to a position under him in the public service, although in this caso Mr. Brinkerhoff lias only followed the example set him by other officials. When spoken to on the snbieet, the Controller said that he had appointed his son temporarily, assigning him to do work as coupon clerk. This work has been performed by Mr. Itiekards, who has now been taken oil' of it to assist in the duties of warrant clerk.

Mr. Albert Wild, who had served as warrant clerk for several years, died recently, aud his place has not yet been filled. The dnties are being jointly performed by Mr. Nesinitli and Mr. Itiekards, who will continue at them until tho Controller shall fill the vaeanev caused by tho death of Mr.

Wild. Mr. Brinkerhoff said ho did not see why there should be any fuss made because he had ap pointed temporarily his own son to do work which must be pcrformod. Ho had been blamed by many friends because ho had not given a place to his son before now. Furthermore he had only done what other officials had done, and what some politicians had done, in appointing or hav ing relatives appointed to places in the public service.

Iu this mstanco the appointment was but a temporary ono anyway, and a small ono at that. As to tho warrant clerkship Mr. Brinkerhoff said that ho should not fill the vacancy thi i month. The position was an important and resuonsible one and ho should exercise tho utmost care iu selecting a man for it. He.

did not care what tho politicians wanted. Ho was responsible for the conduct of his office and ho intended to appoint only men whom he know to be competent. Thus far he had heard of but one applicant for the place The man was Mr. James B. Casey.

He knew nothing about him save that Casey had been well spoken of. The salary of warrant clerk is W.OOO a year. James B.Casey iH a brother in law of Justice Courtney, a Democrat and a resident of the Eleventh Ward. Ho was employed in the Controller's office under Tom Farron years ago, and was connected with tho County Clerk's office for some time, having been discharged by Cap tain Kaiser soon after tho latter took the office last January. The late Mr.

Wild was a German and had been connected wjth tho Controller's office for eight or nine years He lived in the Twenty first Ward and was more or lens prominent among tho German Democrats of that section, some of whom are now claiming that his successor should be ono of their own nationality. There is no German now connected with the Controller's office proper. There has always been at least one. Mr. Brinker hoff will, no doubt, bo waited upon by German delegations pressing the claims of this, that or the other man, but as yet no one has been suggested for tho position except Mr.

Casey. msowsm; sorum. The Stories I'liiit Were 'i'd iu Justice Keiuia's Court. Three fashionably attired ladies entered Justice Kenna's Court this morning and tried to outstrip each other in the race for the clerk's office, whero they clamored for cross warrants. One was Mrs.

Henry Stcnunormann, of 4KJ4 Vernon aveuue, a pleasant featured matron of middle age, while the others were her two daughters, Mrs. Frances Burnet and Miss Lena Stevens. Tho sisters are the direct opposite of each other Mrs. Burnet is Dretty and a perfect type of a blonde, while Miss Stevens, the elder of the two, is a handsome brunette. Miss Stevens poured her story in Assistant Clerk Gehrhardt's ears and procured a warrant for the arrest of her mother and sister.

Then Mrs. Burnet and her mother had tl.e.r side to tell and warrant ira.i also issued for Miss Stevens' apprehension. The cause of this family outbreak was due to Lina's visit to her mother's house at 10 o'clock last evening. Although using her maiden name, Miss Stevens was once upon a time a Mrs. iri h.

her husband having died a few years ago. Sho claims that when she entered the house her stepfather, Henry Stemmermann, who is her mother's second husband, seizod and held her while her mother and sister beat her. Mrs. Stemmermann and her blonde daughtor de nied this charge, and said that all the assaulting was done by the visiting daughter. "She goes by the namo of Stevens," said Mrs.

Stemmermann, "bbt I have heard that Bhe is again married, her husband being Henry Schroeder. She had not come near us for three months until last night, and it is hard to tell where sho has spent all that time." "1 have been away from home only three spoke up Miss Stevens, "and during that time I have been nursing the daughter of Joseph Ali, the orchestra leader, at his home, 350 Will oughby avenue. When I went there last night they not only beat me, but called mo all sorts of bad names and finally threw me out into ths street. I then wont back to the Ali's house. A few weeks ago my mother told mo that I was no daughter of hers.

I havo since learned that she is not my mother and that my father left property for me in her hands which was to accruo to mo when I became of ago. Frank Morrill, an old gentleman living in Itockland County, is my proper guardian and as soon as I can I will communicate with him and take steps to procure what rightfully belongs tome." "Such talk is hard to listen to," sobbed Mrs. Stemmermam. "My first husband was Frederick Stevens, for years the sexton of Dr. Porter's Church, at tho corner of Bedford aveuue and Clymor street.

Lina and Francis are my own daughters by him. These are tho thanks I get for tho struggle I had to make to bring her up. When my first husbpnd died, in 18G0, I assumed tho position of janitress of tho old Wilson street school. For twelve long yeai'B I slaved for my children, and, in 1881. I married Mr.

Stemmermann, who keeps a big saloon in New York City. Mr. Morrill, of whom Lina speaks, is a dear friend of our family. My first husband left no eBtate." The hearing iu the caso was sot down for May 17. GOODRICH HAD A PULL.

An ex amination was made in the application record at the Central office, but Wolfe's name ivas not entered. When asked what ho had to say by the Judge, Goodrich replied: "I acknowledge receiving the money." "Don't you know that it is a misdemeanor to take money from anyone to get him appointed to a public office asked Judge Duffy. "I was ignorant of that law," replied Goodrich. "You ought to have known better," said tho lldgo.

Mason, of Grcenpoint, had sent her to him, and he had promised as soon as his mother, Dr. Mary Jones, returned from Europo she would cure her. Dr. Mary Jones was going to operato on Mrs. Mason at the same time.

I went with MrB. French to the dispensary at Fleet place, and Dr. Charles Jones told me I was very siek indeed, that an operation would be necessary, he thought, but that he expected his mother back from Europe every day, and she would take care of my case. He gave mo some medicine to keep my strength up. Dr.

Mary Jones relumed some time in November, and when I consulted her she said I was in a bad way and jdie was afraid I could not live two years. I was suffering she said from "cancerous degeneration." Shespoko anile lovingly as if she pitied jne exceedingly, and succeeded in making me very nervous about myself. She proposed that I become an inmate of this hospital. I think it was in Madison street. She said a very simple operation would add many years to my life.

I was so alarmed that I determined to let her operate, if my husband would consent. I had some difficulty in persuading him, and when he consented it was only on condition that the operation should be performed at her own house. Both tho Drs. Jones demurred at first, but finally contented to come to our house. They gave me medicine to lit mc for the treatment and on December 1880, they came here.

They brought Dr. King With them. Mrs. Jones told me Dr. King would administer etherto prevent my feeling any pain.

I got 11 ready for the operation and was en ilisttabuie when Mrs. Jones called me to come over to her. She took me into a corner of the room and asked Die if I had any money, as Dr. King would not administer the ether unless he was paid in advance. I did not feel much like going into tho other room to find my purse all unattired, as I was, but Mrs.

Jones insisted and so I went and got it. I paid her 35. My husband went out early that morning. He said he could not bear to be in the house while the operation was being performed. Both the doctors Jones were present and so was Dr.

King. Dr. King was unite nice, but Dr. Charles Jones was very rough and hurt me. The ether waB given me at 11 o'clock in the morning and I remembered nothing until I woke up at 0 in the evening.

I was very siek but was in no pain. Dr. Mary Jones came to see mo next day and congratulated me. She said she had added thirty years to my life aud I ought to be very grateful to her. She told mo aB soon as I was strong enough another slight operation would have to be performed and then I should be quite well.

Dr. Charles Jones came the next day and told me I roust have as much fresh air as possible. As soon as I was able to stand my eldest daughter bellied me and I walked round the block with her. It hurt me a good deal and my right leg all swelled np. The next time I saw Dr.

Jones I told him about the swelling and he seemed very frightened at the appearance of it. He told me not to put it to the ground at all, but to wrap it up in some medicated wool. He gave me a prescription and told me to take the medicine it called for regularly. Then he asked me if I hadn't got any money. I think I gave him After that every time he or his mother came they used to ask fur money.

I guess I gave them $50 altogether. Mrs. Jonea wanted me to have another operation performed, but 1 would not and after that she did not cali anymore. Dr. Charles Jones told Mr.

lrench that he was very sorry for mc, as he did not see how I could possibly live two years. This statement of his was repealed to me and I told my husband and he went and had an explanation with the doctors, who reiterated that if I did not undergo the other operation I should die with the cancer. I went with my two daughters to see Dr. Mary Jones at her DeKalb avenue house and sho toTd my daughters that they had something very serious the matter with them aud ought to submit at once to ovariotomy. The girls told their father and he insisted on their consulting some other doctor before submitting to Dr.

Mary Jones" advice. Mrs. Mason was operated on about the same time I was and she got all right, but I did not. In July. 1SS7, after I had been getting weaker and weaker for more than six months Dr.

Charles Jones came to see mc. He told mo he was going to Europe and could do no more for me. If I was ready to take advice I might go to 'his mother's hospital. I got very angry at the way he seemed to be treating me and charged him with having pressed me to undergo the oj oration and that now he had got paid for it leaving mo to suffer or die. He got very white and raved at me until I was frightened and took back all I had said.

I was all alone in the house and he looked very fierce. After Dr. Jones went to Europe I found myself failing and put myself in the hands of the doctor by whose advice my daughters had refused to let Dr. Mary Jones operate. It was Dr.

Muthew Howard of 1 82 Wash ington avenue. Since I went to him I have been improviug rapidly and expect soon to be able to do as much as I used to. Even now if I try to do any of the heavy work of the house I suffer for it. I feel very bitterly toward the Joneses, not so much for what they made me suffer as for what they wanted to do to my daughters. I should liko you to go and see Dr.

Howard." Dr. Mathew Howard, of 1 8:2 Washington ave nno, said: "Tho operation performed by the Joneses on Mrs. Tweeddale was a slight ono and, as I understand tho victim, preliminary to an operation for cancerous degeneration. I am prepared to state most positively that Mrs. Tweed dale never did liavo and up to to day has no evidence of any cancerous or malignant disease.

The operation thoy proposed subjecting her to would have been as useless and unnecessary, as it would have been dangerous and cruel. Mrs. Twceddale'a two daughters are as splendid specimens of physical womanhood as are to be found The ono huudred and fifth hour of the six day walk iu Now York, at 9 o'clock this morning, found only thirteen of the original fifty three starters in the ra All of these were on tho track at that hour, and, though there was no crowd to applaud each burst of speed, the going was not the less fast. Tho last one to retire from tho contest was the Englishman Connors. It was 5 o'clock in the morning when he went off and at that time he was ninth in the race.

His excuse for quitting was that he could not "do his distance." The loader in the race, Herty, was in good condition at 11 o'clock, butit is' impossible for him to break Littlewood's six days record. To do so ho would have to travel abont six miles an hour without rest, and under this strain he would, in the opinion of his trainers, break down. Hughos' performance promises to bo the best of his life, as there is every evidenoo to believo that ho will break his previous best record by something liko ten miles. Noremac has had some slight troublo with his Btomaoh but otherwise feels all right, while Smith, whose work has been a surprise to all, makes the circuit as though ready to fall on his face in tho sawdust at every minute. Hegleman, who at 10 o'clock was only a quarter of a mile behind Noremac, the third man iu tho race, increased his speed shortly after that hour and in twenty minutes he had passod the little Scotchman and was third man, with eight miles and one eiahth from second place.

Ho immediately took his position behind Cartwright aud imitated his pace. Herty paid no attention to the struggle between his nearest competitors, but plodded slowly along with his eyes cast on the track and his arms hanging listlessly by his side. Of the four tail eudors, Dillon, Sullivan, Taylor and Nolan, thero was little inclination for speedy going. Dillon went oft' the track at 4 Af M. and at 11 o'clock was still sleoping peacefully.

Sullivan went along at a rate of about three miles an hour, Taylor covered a lit tie over two miles an hour and Nolan, who had a long rest during the early morning, traveled between threo and four miles iu the same space of time. The leaders kept up a threo mile gait, bnt Golden from 5 A. M. to noon added a little less than five miles to his score with every hour, and his near approach to Smith caused that individual to wake from his sleepy gait and put forth an endeavor to save his place. The heat was so intense in the garden about noon that most of tho walkers used fans or wiped their heads and faces with wet sponges.

Cart wright amused himself by reading a papor while jogging round tho track. A BROKEN ARM Which Was Not Set at the Eastern District Hospital. Benjamin "Warren's Story of the Fa ihion in Whieh He Was Treated by an East crn District Ambulance Snrjreon. Benjamin Warren, a hostler, complains of the treatment he received at the Eastern District Hospital when he applied last Monday evening to have his fractured arm set. He had sustained the injury while grooming a horse in Hamilton's sta ble, on Bedsord avenuo, the animal having kicked his right forearm.

Ambulance Surgeon Freel, while at the stable, 011 South Sixth street, examined the arm and stated that the bone had been fractured. He told Warren to go around to the hospital and havo it attended to. When I went the institution," Baid Warren, "I saw Dr. Little, lie was anything but obliging in bis manner. He caught my arm and examined it in the roughest possible way and said: "There's nothing the matter with that.

You're all I told him what Dr. Freel had said, and he looked at tho arm again. can see nothing the matter with it. But it's after hours, so come some other I asked him to ploase bind my handkerchief around my arm, as it pained me, and his gruff reply was that itwas better hanging, that there was nothing tho matter with it any way. I suffered a good deal of pain until I reached my home, where I had my arm bound.

I then went back to Mr. Hamilton, and he took me to Dr. Joseph M. Creamer's office on North Fifth street, where the doctor treated tho arm." "The arm was fractured and I Bet it," said Dr. Creamer, when spoken to about the matter.

Schwoinfurten has resulted in the insurance companies canceling all policies on his home known as "Heaven," and tho saorod structure is now at the mercy of the Whito Caps and the MIKE" HENRY. The Death of the Well Known Sporting Man. He Brought Out Madame Anderson and Was a Famons Fisrure in the Days of His Prosperity An Active Life Ends ia a Lunatic Asylum. Michael Henry, an old time sporting patron, died in the FlatbuBh Asylum last evening. Indi cations of insanity appeared last Decembor.

He was then residing with his family, a wife and two children, at their present place of residence, 347 Atlantic avenue. On January 10 his trouble was pronounced incurable and ho was forthwith removed to the asylum. Ho was never at any tinio violent, but he was childish and unable to tako care of himself. At the last it was only at intervals he recognized any one. Years ago Mike Henry, as he was familiarly called, was the most noted sporting man in the City of Brooklyn.

No event in sporting circles of any character was regarded as worthyof attention with which he did not have some connection. He camo to this city from Ireland a friendless lad. Ho found a homo with sympathizing people in tho Fifth Ward. Upon reaching mature years he engaged in tho liquor business. He opened a place in what became a famous sporting resort, 011 the site now occupied by tho Hall of Records.

It was christened the Atlantic Club House, after the then famous Atlantic Base Ball Club, He was the originator and most activo in tho management of that club, and his clubhouse was tho headquatcrs of the members of the club a id their admirers. He traveled through tho country with the club, managing it during the eeason of its most notablo victories. He waB one of it i directors and spent large sums of money in promoting its welfare. Thoso were the days when volunteer players constituted the sinew of base ball teams; when patriotism in local success inspired the players. It was under Henry's management that the At lantics defeated tho famous Red Stockings, who conquered every team they met until they faced Henry's players on a Brooklyn diamond.

Ho was one of the enthusiastic supporters of the team in its series with the well known Mu tuals, in New York, a club with which many prominent politicians of New York City wero identified. Ho was conspicuously a patron of the manly art and was the man who brought out Sam Collyer. The light between Collyer and Barney Aaron, at Akwa Creek, in which tho former defeated the latter for $1,000 a side was largely engineered by Henry. He won considerable money on that event and it first brought him prominently before the public as a sporting man. He also trained and supported John Dwyer, who, under Henry's coaching, won several victories, especially in his contests with Taylor and Croker.

Henry was a tall, broad shouldered man with a magnificent physique. His normal weight was close to 200 pounds. At the ttme of his death his avoirdupois was reduced to less than a huudred potiuds. He wan a hale fellow well met. In the days of his prosperity ho dre sed elegantly and wore diamonds.

A large cluster pin worth several hundred dollars, which he wore in his cravat, and a massive gold watch ehayi, which he was iu the habit of twisting around his forefinger while engaged in conversation, wero conspicuous features of his toilet. He distinguished himself, becoming i ject of newspaper notoriety, when he 111 u.iged the walking match of Madame Anderson, against time, in the old Mozart Garden, at Fulton and Smith streets. It was the beginning of (he cniKo for walking and was advertised as a walk of a thousand miles in a 1honand consecutive hours. Many of his old acquaintances iu speaking of that ovent this morning, attributed the beginning of his mental trouble to his connection with that exhibition. Ho was not unknown in local politics, For several years he was a member of the Democratic General Committee of this county, in which ho represented the Second Ward.

He also served in the Public Works Department as an inspector. Under Warden Cunningham he was a keeper iu the renitentiary.whcre he was also employed as watchman for a company of shoo contractors. A few years ago he was given a position as watchman at the Brooklju Base Ball Grounds by President Byrne. Ho was at one time a ticket taker oh the New York elevated railways at South Ferry, and the last employment given him was by tho Union Elevated Railway Company of this city as a watchman. He figured in the public prints as the object of two exciting episodes, in which ho nearly lost his life.

While keeping a saloon at 00 Fulton Btreet. where, he was iu business during tho early years of the war. ho antagonized a burly longshoreman by throwing him into the street. The next day, while Henry was eating an oyster stew in JacobB' oyster saloon, at York and Front streets, tho longshoreman entered, and seeing Henry, walked out of tho place, vowing to fix him. A few moments later he re entered with an open razor.

He grabbed Henry by tho head and slashed at his throat, cutting a gaBh from one side to tho other. Tho latter succeeded in knocking the man down. His assailant served five years at Sing Sing and Henry carried tho scar to his death. At another time while keeping a saloon in Red Hook lane, near Fulton street, he was shot by an English cigar maker, with whom ho had had trouble over an account between them. Tho bullet entered his shoulder and was taken ont at the back.

The affair was settled between them. In the days of tho volunteer firemen ho was a member of tho famous Constitution Company, No. 7. which was then located on Front street, near Bridge. Ho was also a prominent Mason several years ago, being a member of that staunch and influential lodge, tho Delta.

He was married twice. The funeral will take place at the houso on Sunday morning next at 10 o'clock, and the remains will be buried at Fort Lee, N. J. SOLD HER FOR $35. A Turns His Wife Over to Her Lover.

A very queer married couple from Philadelphia turned up in Justice Goottiug's courtroom this morning. Ludwig Munch, the man, said ho and his wife had agreed to part forever. A year ago thev removed from this city to Philadelphia. When Mrs. Mnnch's sister, an interesting girl, came over from Germany, Munch fell in lovo with her about tho same time that he discovered that liiB wife had predilection for another man.

who lived and did business in Camden, across the Schuyi Kill. Tho double intrigue culminated, so Munch said, in an offer of $25 from his wife's admirer if tho husband would agree to give up all claims to Mrs. Munch. The husband thought well of the proposition. To avoid publicity the couple decided to como to Brooklyn, whore thoy were acquainted, and settle the matter.

Counselor HoeBch drew up tho dooument which was signed and subsequently sworn to before a notary by both the man aud tho womau. HIS JAW DISLOCATED.
