Extorting money by 1'Iircalo. Wrom a Yaclit and Drowned. the Kiver. And Little Tin Angels Were Visible When He Spoke. By the Brooklyn City Railroad Company.

John Reardon, 23 years old, of 211 Madison street; James Harrigan, 45 years of age, of Hamilton streot; John Harrigan, aged 24, of 212 Madison Btrcot, and John Caldon, 5 years old, of 05 Montgomery street, all of New York, went, sailing last evening in the East River. Thoy had with them Willie Orockdou, ti years old, of 101 Hamilton street, New York. All the men were intoxicated and unable to handle the boat. They headed for this side, and when off the dock of the Knickerbocker Ice Company, on Furman street, their craft capsized, spilling the live in the river. RouiKcstuan H.irkins and Officer McXnlly, or the Second Precinct, and Captain Charles Hughes, of the caualboat Needhani, went to their rescue and succeeded in bringing the quintet ashore.

Tho four men wero locked up on a charge of intoxication. Tho boy, wdio seemed to be in a bad way, was attended by Ambulance Surgeon Horn n. He was revived and was taken home by friends. Tho men were fined I each this morning by Judge Pettcrson. The Assessors' statement of the real and personal valuations for 1880 is duo.

This statement has boon prepared and handed to Piesident Wilson, who took it to tho Mayor's office this morning to have Mr. OhapiiilookitoTer. Mr. Wilson's idea was that courtesy demanded this much. He said that tho statement would then bo made public.

He saw tho Mayor and laid it before him. He did not furnish it to the reporters, because, as he explained, the Mayor had not had an opportunity to thoroughly examine the figures. Mr. Wilson would not allow the figures to be mado public without the Mayor's consent. The Mayor said: "There isn't any rush about it.

is there 7" Mr. Wilson took the paper back to his office and deskod it. He would not tell what the total increase of valuations was. Last year tlie total increase of real and personal was some J23.000, 000; of real alone about i22, 000, 000. It is believed that this increase of real value will lie Quito as large this year.

The total real valuation in 1888 was George Chapman and Edward Arkenbure, of Nyack, N. called at the Eighteenth Precinct Station House early this morning and roported that a companion named Ferdinand Buys, aged 22, of 108 Fort Greene place, had been knocked overboard from the sloop yacht Beatrice by tho craft's boom and was drowned. The young men said they had left Nyack in company with Buys on Saturday afternoon aud after cruising about tho bay yesterday they tied tho craft up at the foot of Forty ninth street, South Brooklyn, for the night. Early this morning they started out on the return trip and when but a short distance out the boom swung around and young Buys, who was standing near the tiller, was struck by it and thrown into the water. They made every effort to save him, but he did not come to the surface, having probably been knocked senseless.

The two young men were nearly frantic with grief whon they realized that their companion was drowned, aud ihey stayed in tho vicinity of the spot where he had gone under with the hope of rescuing bis body, if too lato to save his life. In this they were destined to be disappointed, and afaer waiting anxiously for half an hoar or more, they concluded to land and report the case to the polL e. Young Buys had been with his family, who are spending the Summer at Nyack. Their city residence is closed. Ho was a very bright and intelligent young man and had a host of friends in both this city and New York.

After reporting the sad intelligence to tho police authorities the ill fated young man's companions started for homo to tell the sad news to tho bereaved parents. Carmino Anachino, an Kalian special officer who claims to have received his commission from Captain Martin Short, of the Fifth Precinct, was a prisoner before Justice Goetting this morning on a charge of petit larceny. His accuser was Gabrielo Attanasio, an 'employe in Haberman's tin factory, on North Second street, and ho wan held in $500 bail for his appearance on August 7. Attanasio deposed that on or about April 20 last Anachino represented that ho was a special officer and that ho had a warrant for deponent's arrest and could lock him up, but that if he would five him $15 he would not take him up nor molest him further; that said special officer then exhibited to him a paper and that, believing it to he a warrant, deponent handed him threo to hills; that deponent has since ascertained that no warrant had been issued for his arrest. The most interesting feature of tho caso is a statement alleged to have been mado by tho accused in reference to the use to which the money was to be put.

It is contained in tho followiug affidavit, which is an exhibit in the case: State of New Yonit, County op Kixos Charles Stiinelli being duly sworn deposes that on or about April 20, 1880, ono Gabriel Attanasio called at my residence, 109 North Sixth street, in the City of Brooklyn; he was crying and, said that Carmino Anachino, a special officer, residing at North Second street, had compelled him to give to said special officer the sum of $15. telling him he had a warrant for his arrest and would lock him up unless he gave that amount. I. the said Spiuelli, then went to the store of said special officer and asked him to return tho money, and he acknowledged to me that be had tho money, but that he wanted it to "fix matters" for Attanasio and would keep the money, and that if I would not get away he would arrest me and have me locked up also. dunnics Sitnelli.

Sworn before me this day of July, 1889. EuwA.ni H. SCIILUETElt, Notary Public, Kings County. Anachino is said to be one of tho faithful and obsequious lights of the Brooklyn gang. IS TO BE DINED.

Single Tux men in this city, New York and thereabout arc imbued with new vigor iti their cause by the arrival of their chief, Henry George. Mr. George landed at Houston street dock, New York, from the Umbria shortly after noon yesterday and was in i by hundreds of his disciples from the Central nul Eastern District Single Tax clubs of this city, the Manhattan Single Tax Club of New York, the Standard Single Tax Club of Jersey City and other organizations of political cononiists.

Tii. ir erics of "George, George, Henry George 1' recalled a famous campaign in New York, and the hearty handshaking Mr. George received on the dock told that he is still a ficwer. For five months Mr. George has been preaching throughout Great Britain and Ireland his reform ideas and with much success.

He has on Sunday, filled the pulpits of many prominent Cong: and Presbyterian churches something a layman was never before permitted to do. When Mr. George was in England before, four years ago, he found it hard to get anyone to preside at his meetings. In this lust trip the most prominent political economists were vicing with each other to wield the gavel. In Belfast Michael I.

'avitt presided, and, though Mr. Davilt is not tlu, roughly committed to Mr. George's reform ideas, he made an introductory address that showed he was being won over. Among the prominent persons to greet Mr. George on his lauding yesterday wero Louis F.

Post. William I. Croas George White, J. II. H.

Maelagan, John Hickling, E. O. Roscoc and Frank P. Rami. To night Mr.

George wiil be bauqu ted at the II. i diton lleacli Hotel by the Single Tax m. Mr. Post will preside and among those who will make post prandial addresses are Mr. Thomas G.

Shearman, William I. Cro.tsdalo, A. II. Stephenson, of Philadelphia, and Dr. Cramer, of New York.

Last night at the rooms of the Central Single Tax Club, 5li Livingston street, there was a great meeting, many laities being in tho audience. Miss Margaret A. Brenuan, who has charge of a Baptist congregation at Attica, N. made an address on "Woman's Place in the Single Tax Movement." Miss llrennan quoted at length from a chanter in Isaiah, claiming that the earth was the vineyard that the prophet said was planted on the hill, and that by the choicest vine was meant man himself.

8TEAMEK (J1TY OF HUDSON. To WMtestono. lfekp SB EXCURSION 50 OhNTH, 5 Letters Which Were Found in Mr. Andrews' Desk. They Were Written by a Married Woman Whose Husband is About to Get a Great Literary Surprise Humors of an Elopement, John II.

Andrews, a wellknown real estate agent, who lived with his wifo and five children at 212 Calyer street, Seventeenth Ward, has been missing from his hotne since Thursday a. week ago. It is intimated that he was accompanied in his sudden flight by a handsome young married woman, who had been a frequent visitor to bis plaeo'of business, at 1.7 Greenpoint avenue. Tho missing man is about years of age, of light complexion, slim built and tall. Previous to engaging in the real estate business.ho was an agent for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.

The woman who is supposed to have accompanied him is the wife of one of Andrews' fellow agents. In addition to carrying on tho real estate business, Andrews is the secretary of Olive Leaf Lodge, I. O. O.JA, and was highly thought of by till who knew him. His life, his friends say, was made most unhappy by frequent quarrels with bis wife.

They scout the. idea of his having eloped and credit his disappearance to this cause. When Mrs. Andrews was seen at her home by an Eauj.b reporter this morning, she was rather disinclined to discuss her husband's flight. When questioned regarding the rumor of his having gone away with another woman, she said that she was first inclined to believe tiiat he had.

"My reasons," she added, "were based on several lot tors from a married woman which I found in his desk after his disappearance. The letters were alllilied with tender lines of love. There were fourteen of them in all. heard yesterday that the ifoaifii was still living with her husband. He is entirely ignorant.

I believe, of the intimacy that exi, ted between my husband and his wife and I propose to acquaint him of ail 1 know. I shall send for him to day to come over for the lctt.T.I." Mrs. Andrews refused to make miblic the contents of the letters at present. After some effort on the part of tho reporter Mm. Andrews raid the writer was a Mrs.

Torbit. Hoe said her home had been a happy on" tintii this woman stepped between r.mil her husband five years ago. Since then nothing but quarrels were the result. On the morning of Andrews' disappearance, according to his wife's statement, lie had administered to her a severe beating, ller sjirc.ims had attract, the neighbors, who interfered. He then left the house and has not since returned.

The v. if, of the mi. sing man felt so. li.tt alarmed this morning regarding tho safety of her husband, as a body answering his description had been taken from the water on Saturday at the foot of Pierrepont street. "Do yon intend to go to the Morgue to sen whether tiio body is that of your ask' the reporter.

I shall go there (hi afternoon, if the body is his I shall see that it is interred "Do you think he will return in case lie is stiil alive?" 1 do not, and have given up all holies of overseeing him again, will care for tho Tien are ail sori i of rumors about the ward g.inling Andrews" llight. Mr. Stephen Hill, who carries on an insurance business in tlie rear of 1 I 7 Greenpoint avenue, said that the story of an elopement was all nonsense. "Mr. Andrews," he continued, "was suffering from temporary insanity when he left his home.

His home was most He thought, however, that everything will co. ne out all right in the end. HE ItilRltOWEI) MONEY Anil Jioiv Claiirn 'i'lutt bo (Sates off inlcrrvl Were Thomas L. Coats, of Xevius street, borrowed I from a Nassau street, New York, concern for three months. The loan was for which he was to pay and "0, for which he was to pay 1 H.

The bn dness was transacted with Sheldon S. Pratt and Coats gave a chattel mortgage on his furniture. Judgment was taken against him for nr. and this morning his counsel, Coined V. B.

Thnr.itoti. moved before Judge Culien to onen the default. The motion was opposed by ft. Gillespie, who claimed flint Mr. S.

S. Pratt was simply a broiler; th.it no usury was charged: that the money was obtained from D. E. Pratt and that the charges of were for brokerage, appraisal and legal i ices, ain't were acquiesced in by the ib.si'i ndatit. An affidavit was made by Mr.

S. S. Pratt to all these allegations, which were corroborated by the affidavit of Frederic Pratt' It was stated that the affidavit of E. the lender, could not be obtained as he was absent from the city. The loan was made last.

September. Thornton claimed his client had paid i l' li) of the he received. The other side claim the debt amounted to and that he has only paid about 4 0. Mr. Thornton stated that the amount was made up iu pari by charging 10 whenever Coats made default on payment of the settlements of the loan.

The plaintiff claimed that Coats had removed the goods and Mr. Thornton said they were destroyed by lire. Mr. Gillespie said his client went to Coats' hout to make an amicable arrangement of the claim, and that Coats told him to get out or he would put a head on him. Judge Culien took Uie papers.

MRS. RY'lXES' lHFFICL'LTIES. A Reed Which It in to HSnvo ncclnred a illortfrafre. Mr. lies E.

Byrnes and his wife are defendants iu a suit brought by the Whitney Paper Company which came before Judge Cr.ilcn to day. It appears that in April, 1H8S. the defendant Byrnes, after he left the employ of the Board of Education, leased from the plaintiff the store and basement at lot) William street, New York, for a year from May 1, 1888, at a rental of .00, payable monthly. He occupied the pivm'sc tintii Die following October, when he owed for rent. He then surrendered tho lease, which was canceled, and the premises came into the possession of his wife for the balance of the year at.

a rental of f7o per month, In assuming the indebtedness of V.viTi. As security she made a contract with the plaintiff that if on May 1, any part of the rent was not paid she was to execute to the plaintiff a deed of her residence, 1 00 Seventeenth street, South Brooklyn, as collateral, and if iho indebtedness was not canceled by August 1 the deed was to become absolute. The agreement was carried out. tho rent, apparently, was not paid and this morning Mr. George W.

Carr, for the plaintiff, moved for judgment declaring the deed absolute. The motion was opposed by cx Asliomblyman Taylor, who maintained the deed was in tho nature of a mortgage and thin there should be a suit for foreclosure and sale and that Mr. Byrnes was entitled to the equity in the property. Decision was reserved. SEEKING FLAHERTY'S RELEASE.

A t.ii'e Prisoner in Auburn Who Claim To ISc Innocent. Lawyer C' rge F. Elliott is making an effort to secure the pardon of James Flaherty, now undergoing a life sentence in Auburn State Prison. He was sentenced by Judge Moore in for killing his wife. The ground of tho application is the discovery of new evidence contained iu a letter from Flaherty to his counsel, and which was not produced upon the trial, as Mr.

Elliott, who was Flaherty's counsel, knew nothing about it. Flaherty and his wife lived on North Fifth street, and the killing occurred in November, The wife was a hopeless Urnnkard. The letter is to the effect that Flaherty's first knowledge of his wife's death wan when he found her lying on the floor of their room. The prison officials give Flaherty an ex ccllcnt record. THE JURY ACQUITTED HIM.

Jolin Hrcnncn I'ouitt! lYot tJuiltj'of Violating' tbe IC.veivo Law, John Brennen, son of and bartender for Lawrence Breiinen, who keeps a saloon at 403 Manhattan avenue, was tried this morning by Judgo Goetting and a jury for violation of the Excise laws. Captain G. 0. Rhodes, the principal witness against the prisoner, was compelled to admit that although he saw several people in tho saloon on the Sunday mentioned in the charge, he'bad no proofs that any liquor was being sold or drunk. The jury acquitted Brennen.

WANTED TO JUMP FROM A WINDOW. An IiiManc Servant Ciirl Saved by nn Officer. The occupants of tho dwelling 2G8 Division avenue notified Officer Lenahan, of the Lee avenue station, this morning, that their German servant, Annie Bruhes, aged 28 years, was crazy. The officer saw her at the third story window and, rushing upstairs, forced open the door and caught her just as sh? was going to throw herself out of the window. She was removed in tho ambulance to St.

Catharine's Hospital. WOULD TOT HUO STABBED HIM. Patrolman O'Connor, of the Bedford avenuo station, saw John Dougherty, aged 30 years, on Hope street, at 3 o'clock this morning, with his clothing saturated with blood.

MONDAY EVEXIXG. JULY 29, 1889. MUTUAL STARES "Which Resulted in Trouble for Railroad Men. How Mrs. Whipple and Her Daughters (lot it Squad of Mr.

Richardson's Conductors and Drivers Discharged and Suspended The Elder Lady "Made it Her Business to Watch Them." Never since the strike in January last have the employes of the Atlr.ntic Avenue Railroad been po excited about any event us they are to day Ivor the discharge of three men and the suspen ision of nine others for alleged misconduct directed by them against three ladies living iu Concord street. An Eaole reporter shortly before noon to day met President Richardson at the bridge entrance. Mr. Richardson was just (joins; over to Xew York, The reporter accompanied him and ashed him questions about the discharges and suspensions. Mr.

Richardson said: "Where did you got tlie information? If I find out that any of my men Bttvolit I will discharge them. And if they did give that information I will find it out. I have discharged three men only and suspended nine ethers for offensive conduct toward three ladies jn Concord street, Mrs. Whipple and her two (laughters. Tliey live at 53 Concord street, near the corner of Adams street.

The men are drivers nnd conductors of the line passing through that Btreet. The fiancee of the eldest daughter came to my office and complained of the men by the numbers of their cars. lie told me that Miss Whipple had to give up riding on my ears because of the annoyance she suffered. He said that they were in the habit of smiling and signaling and speaking to the Indies, whom they saw through the windows of Mrs. Whipple's house.

Their conduct was very objectionable. The only fault I have to find with the ladies is for not complaining before. Every time these men panned the house they looked in and called the attention of their passengers by their actions and speeches. The men who were laid off are back at work and I will put the discharged men back if they apologize." Mr. Richardson refused to give the names of the discharged men.

"flow was it the ladies saw the men on all theso Occasions? Were they invariably looking out?" "Have they not a right to look out of their front windows? There is a dead wall in the rear Of their house." "Was it upon the word of this young man alone that you discharged and suspended these men "They confessed themselves that they were guilty. They made no secret of it. Why one of the drivers told me that if I set my foot down on this thing I would have to discharge every man on the road. I told him that I would do that if necessary. I hope that you are not going to print this.

It is a terrible thing if a lady can't complain without her name being published in the daily newspapers." The reporter called at S5 Concord street, and luet there a very stout lady, 4 5 years of age or thereabouts, She was round faced, brown eyed, black haired, of pule but healthy complexion, good teeth, small mouth and rather good natured looking. There was enough of her for three handsome women. "Are you Mrs. Whipple 1 am one of them." It was on your complaint, was it not, that the men were discharged (roiu the Atlantic Avenue Railroad "I don't know anything about it." "Why, did you not make the complaint 7" "You want to see the other Mrs. Whipple." "Who is the other Wnippic? "She is my son's "Are you not the.

Mrs. Whipple who complained lo President Richardson of the conduct of certain drivers and conductors on his "Well, yes, I did. What about it Was it you or your daughters with whom they "They didn't flirt with mo or my daughters cither." "What did they do then 7" "They merely stared in our windows as they passed on tlie ears." You are sure of that "I am sure of that." You know what has happened to those men "How do I know?" "Did nut Mr. Uicliardson come down here himself and tell you about the discharges and suspensions?" ''You seem to know all about it." "How do you know that these men were looking into your house each time that they passed on the ''Because I saw them." "Where were you thai you should see them?" "I was out of the window." "Why were you looking out of the window so persistently?" "I de it my biuiuess to watch to see if they iYCre looking in." "And all that they didwas simply to look in at you. They did not make signals or speak or do anything unpleasant "No, sir, nothing of the "Perhaps they were merely looking ill to see if you Here looking out as "They have got no right to stare into people's houses in that fashion." "Did your daughters complain of experiencing any annoyance fri.m "That is none of your business.

Now, you had better bo very careful what you say about this thing." "I ivant. to find out why you went to liieh ardson to complain of men who were doing nothing more to you than you were doing to them from your own statement." "I know Mr. Richardson personally. I have known him for years but have not seen him for a period of about lh During this interview Mrs. Whipple passed through various tagf of emotion, v.

liieit finally culminated in augur at the persistency of the inquirer. She refused to i the reporter sp. ak with any of the young ladies who are alleged to have been sufferers from the rude staring of the men. The reporter next went among the employes who had been discharged or suspended, and found them, as might have been expected, very solicitous that their names should not be published for fear they might be discharged tor good. They talked freely enough when assured that their names would be suppressed.

"I was laid off last Friday," said good natured, middle aged Irishman, who drives one of the avenue cars. "I was accused of looking in the window of 55 Concord street. Well, you can't help it. The women arc at tho window the whole time looking out. Xttmber 55 Concord Ktrcot is tin; si cond house from the corner on the north side of the road.

As the cars BWing around from Adams into Concord street drivers can't help looking at number 55. There was a girl about 24 years of age with painted hair, who used to lie full length in one of the basement windows. She wore a black silk dress, trimmed with white iaee. A very lcmakablo looking dress. She fairly stuck her eyes in every driver that passed.

You could see the head of the old lady sticking out there, too, and there was usually one of the other girls at the other basement window. It was almost impossible to "iteep from looking at them. They were staring BO hard at us all the lime." "Do you mean to say that they were flirting with the men "No. I do not. I don't say that.

But I do say that they were staring ct the men very hard all the time, and I don't sec how the men can be blamed for looking back. There three girls altogether, tho landlady's daughter in law and her two daughters." "What do the men think of their summary taking off "They think it was a burning shame." avenue men arc not tlie only ones who Buffered. Five were laid olY from Hicks street. Two of them being discharged. One was laid off from Ninth avenue.

O'Brien, one of the drivers who was di xdiarged has just lost his wife, nod lias little children to support. Home of the other men who were discharged had wives and families." Another driver said It is talked about among tlie boys that Tom one of the conductors, was engage 1 to one of Mrs. Whipple's daughters. I don't know the truth of tho matter, but she used to ride on his car. She is the one with Wenched hair.

Her sister has light hair also, but it is not bleached. They are medium sized girls and rather good looking. The way they stared at us from that house would have made any men iu the world stare back, no matter if they were monks. We stared to see what they were staring at. Mr.

Jiiehanlson accused the men whom he discharged of shouting at the widow and her daughters. They say that this is not true. 1 think the old lady has a lot of cold gall to complain of the men staring at her when she was so constantly staring at them. I am sure I never looked at the house, but it was all I could do to keep from it. Mr.

liichardson told us that a young man who is engaged to one of the daughters had made tho complaint. I suppose that he only just said that. A lot of tho men have been down to the office trying to get back again. I suppose, that finally they trill all succeed." "The discharged men will not be taken back Unless they apologize." "To whom? "To Mrs. Whipple and her daughters." "Well, that is rather tough, seeing that they tiae as much to blame as the men are." A conductor said.

"There is going to be a row about this thing, you see. The old man things he has got us down very lino, but there is a little spirit loft in the boys yet, and he will discover that. The men whom he has now in his employ are the Bame men who left his road last January. His talk about never taking the old hands back again was all buiicombe.They got their places as fast as the new hands could be weected out. If Mr.

Richardson thinks that they wil submit tamely to this very high handed proceeding of his he is very much mistaken. The men wcro no more to blame for staring at Mrs. Whipple than Mrs. Whipple was to blame for Staring at them." Mrs. Whipple's place is not a boarding house, but is let out iu furnished apartments.

It is a four story and basement brown stone dwelling and in full of lodgers. The Proposition Mado by the Board of Directors Accented at To day's Meeting of the Stockholder. At 2 o'clock to day the Brooklyn City Railroad Company became a more gigantic corporation than it ever was before, and, unlike other trust and corporate schemes, the extension of its operations will not redound to the discomfort of the public, but most probably will facilitate surface travel in this city. This circular, issued after a meeting of tho Board of Directors of the com pany on tho 1 1 tli instant, tells its own story: Oi fice Bnooiti.vK City B.ulkoap OAP ox Stukkt, ly 1 2 8 and 10 UI.TOX iliioi)i. Jn To the i of thu Ufuoklyu City Hail Comiiivw: At a meeting of tho Board of Directors of this company, held on the 1 1 th it was unanimously resolved to lease from the Brooklyn Cross town Railroad Company, Calvary Cemetery, Greenpoint and Brooklyn Railroad Company, New VWUiamsburgh and Flatbush Railroad Company and Greenpoint and Lorinnir Street Railroad Company, of Brooklyn, all thoir franchises, gbts, railroads, equipment, real estate ami ail and to acquire their capital stock.

Ihe officers or the company were duly authorized to take the necessary action to carry out the said resolution. You i are hereby notified that a meeting of the Ktoekhoi.ler.s ot tue Brooklyn City Railroad Company will bo held at the office of the company, 8 and 10 Fulton street, in the Citv of Brooklyn, on Monday, the 'J 11th day of July. 1 at 12 o'clock noon, for the purpose of voting in person or by proxv on this question. If you are unable to attend the meeting, please, execute the inclosed proxv and transmit it without delay to the undersigned. By order of the Board of Directors, H.

M. Secretary. Pursuant to the above circular a meeting was held as above and the action of the Board of Directors was approved, (hough mostly by proxy, the fortunate to a great extent enjoying themselves Europe or elsewhere and not eating, seemingly, whether a car ran in Brooklyn or not so long as they scooped in the 1 0 per cent, dividend which tho road has paid for years. Boon after tho consolidation was proposed there was a futile kick by some of the stockholders of the Crosstown line because the leased lines are only promised 8 per cent They were getting 10 per cent. Then President Daniel F.

Lewis, a most handsome black mustached man, an astute financier, talked to the kickers and won them over. He showed them how foolish they were in his peculiar persuasive way and they came to time. Mr. Lewis showed the kickers that they were getting proportionally more for their stock than it was selling for in the market, and that it would pay them to sell out and buy Bn oklyn City stock. How ninny did so is something no man can learn from railroad stockholders, but a listener outside the executive session this afternoon was impressed with iho profound harmony of the meeting.

Secretary Thompson, when drawn from the meeting at the behest of the reporters, said tho leases were ratified, because of the 320. ono shares 220,000 had voted favorably. of the votes were cast by proxy by these attorneys: Daniel F. Lowis, E. D.

White, E. W. Bliss and Frank Lyman. Incidentally Mr. Thompson remarked that the par value of the Brooklyn City Railroad stock was simply $3, 200,000 iu the aggregate.

The capital stock or the Crosstown road is $500. 000: of the Calvary Cemetery. Groenpoint and Brooklyn. of the New Williamsbnrgh and Flatbush (Nostrand avenue) 5300,000, and of the Greenpoint and Lorimor street. $100,000.

SCHIEHEL'S LOVE FOR CHILDREN Lands Him Again in Jail on a Charge of Kidnapping. During tho past week, a young man has been wandering around the upper wards enticing little children away from their homes by buying them candies and other toothsome things, and although every effort was made to capture him success did not reward tho work of the police until Saturday night. On tho afternoon of that day, Freddie Eiigloberg, aged 7 years, disappeared from his home iu Ridgewood. The parents became alarmed, notified the police, and a general alarm was sent throughout the city. Several hours afterward the boy was found by Policeman Killian, of the Twelfth Precinct, on Fulton street, in company with a man.

The officer took both to the police station, and the matt gave the name of Charles Sehiebel. Knglebcrg parents wore notified and lie was taken home. Sehiebel was arraigned before Justice Kenna this morning on a charge of kidnapping, and remanded pending an examination as to his sanity. A yearand a half ago Sehiebel was arrested on a similar complaint, but was discharged. Ho is perfectly harmless.

Two years ago ho was sun struck, and since that time bis chief mania has been his fondness for children. He has been known to pick tip little toddlers, carry them around on his shoulders for hours and then tako them safely back to thoir homes. NAVY YARD NOTES.

Naval men have a penchant for the watering place this weather. They are dined and wined and made heroes of by society thero.

Most of them did thoir fighting iu the Annapolis Academy at the expense of the Government. There was a rumor about the Yard this morning that Secretary Tracy was to pay it an official visit. He didn't materialize and Commodore Ramsay said he didn't expect him.

Fall of a Member of Dr. Coyler's FJocIr. Social and church cirelos on tho Hill will bo shocked to learn of the arrest of John N. Sayro on a charge of robbery. Sayre, whoso residence is at 130 Fort Greene place, has for nine years past been employed by Tredwell, Slote clothiers, of Broadway and Chambers street.

Both principals in tho firm are prominent in Brooklyn. Mr. Tredwoll a leading Methodist. Mr. Slote is president of the Oxford Club.

WTith them Sayre has boon on terms of intimacy and confidence. He is 4G yoars of age, well built, good looking and affable. His face is adorned by a lovely black mustache. His partially bald head gives him an appearance of mingled benevolence and solidity. He has bright, penetrating eyes, a healthy complexion and soft white hands.

On his Bcarf pin glistens a big diamond of finest water. Rings sparkle on his taper fingers. A heavy linked gold chain spans the comfortable girth of his waistcoat. His manners were Chesterfieldian. "When he talks you would think that little tin angels were floating through the air," said ono of his former employers to day.

Sayro was dovout. He was a regular attendant and member of the Lafayette Avenue Church, of which the Rsv. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler is pastor.

He was also greatly interested in the Sunday school. HiB homo on Fort Greene place was a model of domestic comfort and placidity. He neither bet on the races nor played draw poker. His abstinent qualities w.mld have carried joy to the heart of the most ardent Prohibitionist in the land. By his employers he was so highly esteemed that they placed the utmost reliance on his integrity.

During the greater part of Sayrc's connection with the house of Tredwell, Sloto fc Co. he was superintendent of the gentlemen's furnishing department. About ten days ago the suspicion dawned on his employers that someone was robbing them. Moro than fifty clerks are employed in tho store and it was thought that difficulty would bo experienced iu finding the thief. Inspector Byrnes was appealed to.

By his direction Detectives Freel aud Wingardner, two bright yonu'g men, were placed on the case. They suspected Sayre. wdio was getting a salary of $45 a week. The firm couldn't believe that Sayre was guilty. Last Saturday afternoon Detective Wingardner entered the store with two 1 marked bills in his possession.

He walked up to Sayre, who sold him four pair of socks at fifty cents a pair. The detective gave him the marked monoy, and instead of turning it over to the cashier, Sayro put it in bis pocket. Five minutes later Detective accompanied by Wingardner, entered and made a prisoner of Sayre. The marked moiuy was found in his possession. He broke down and confessed.

It is now believed that he has been stealing for years past. The firm estimates that he has probably stolen about $800. Sayre was arraigned before Justice O'Reilly, at the Tombs, this morning, and was held for trial in $1,000. To an Eau.e icoorter this afternoon a representative of Tredwell. Sloto Co.

said it would be impossible for them to estimate the amount of Sayre's peculations. They might have been not more than $800 or they might liavo largely exceeded that figure. Sayre has an estimable wife and a son 20 years of age. He was formerly engaged in the jewelry business Brooklyn. SHE WAS J0H.VStt.V8 MOTHER.

that William II. Shepard Yfaq the Resistless Swain, and Warden Brymer is Now Hoarding Him. Officer Wilderoter, of Justice Goetting's Court, visited the Magnolia House, 203 Chambers street, New York, and arrested the manager, William II. Shepard, on a warrant charging him with tho abandonment of his wifo, Rebecca, and their little daughter, aged 2 years. Justice Goetting this morning committed the prisoner to jail in default of bail in for his appearance to morrow for examination.

About three years ago, in tho Summer time, Shepard and the young lady now his wife met at Sag Harbor and their demonstrations of mutual attachment were so warm that the other guests of the hotel whore they were stopping had pleasant anticipations of a wedding by the sea. Shepard, however, did not seem to see it as they did, and in a few weeks the hammock in which they used to oscillate and pore over the veracious history of "She Who Must Bo Obeyed knew them no more. The young lady went back to her mother's home, 180 Kent avenue, and her sweet William to the clerk's desk of the Magnolia House. So no time later Shepard made tho acquaintance of the girl's brother under circumstances that were rather embarrassing. In fact, the young gentleman called on him to ascertain the nature of intentions with regard to his sister.

The result id' the' interview seems to have been thai the marriage of Shepard and the young lady took place rather earlier than it would otherwise have done.
