How Mr. Thompson's Domestic Complications Happened to Reach the Snrfacc. The Danger of Hafing Two Wires. Judgo Bartlett in the Supreme Court this morning granted Mrs. Lizzio W.

Thompson an abso lute divorce from her husband, Alva Mhorapion. All the parties to the action are well known in social circles in this city, and the proceedings will interest many ladies and gentlemen who will learn for the first timo of Thompson's double life. In St. Louis twenty years ago he married the lady who now obtains a divorce from him. She resides at 1,100 Bedford avenue with her sou and two daughters.

Abont three yoars ago Thompson, who was then in receipt of a salary of $2,000 a year, met Mrs. Tenfold, the daughter of Mr. Pettit, tho well known builder. Mrs. Pent'old was then a young widow and Thompson represented himself as a singlo man.

Ho deserted his wife and married Mrs. Ponfold. For over a year ho kept lxi a secret. Ho was then in the em. ploy of Messrs.

Jennings Turner, of the Columbia Refining Company, at 135 Broadway, New York. Mr. Turner, who resides at 532 Carlton avenue, was the cause of his cxposuro. He testified: "In February, 1888, Thompson, who was in our employ, said he would like to go homo for tho day, as his wife was ill; I told him to go by all means and that evening I called on Mrs. Thompson to ascertain how she was getting along; she was much surprised to boo me and said: 'Why.

Mr. Turner, I'm not said 'Mr Thompson left my office saying you wero very 'Why, Mr. sho said, 'I haven't seen my husband since last This led to the disclosures on which the divorc: was based: Mr. Peter S. Jennings, Mr.

Turner's partner, testified: "Mr. Thompson was in my employ about four years, about two years before Mr. Turner became connected with me; I told Thompson he ought to take care of his family and if he did not want to live with them he ought to live by himself; he said: can't do I asked him if he was afraid of the other woman; ho said: 'Yes, she i.i a nervous creature, and I should be afraid to stay hero if I left I asked him if he was afraid she would shoot him and he said he was." Mr. David A. Baldwin, who was defeated by Captain Kaiser for the office of County Clerk, testified: I reside at 323 Mouroo street, Brooklyn: I am in the employ of the Bowjry IJ uik; I know Alva G.

Thompson; I do not know Mrs. Lizzie Thompson: I know the lady, Mrs. Pen fold, referred to in the complaint; I know that she iind Thompson wcro marriod by the Rev. S. GifTard Nelson, of this city, in September.

1SS7; I have seen the marriage certificate; tho interest 1 have in this ease is that tho woman's motives shall not be misconstrued; she is a roputablo woman of this city and daughter of a reputable man and family.

That bov was Maurice B. Flynn, whoso weekly envelope presi nfo.l to him by the cashier con t.uued only at first. Mr. Flynn advanced fltep by step very rapidly, attending mostly to tho collection of bills. He performed his duties very sat sfactory to tho firm, but a good many truckmon nought that he was too exacting.

Tho firm had very few bad debts under his management. Mr. Field's son bad died, and his other son, whom ho had intended to admit to the firm, married Miss Murphy, sister of tho late Under Sheriff Murphy, and conducted a trucking business. He was said to bo angry with his father for taking such a deep interest in Mr. Flynn.

The latter was a very frequent visitor at Mr. Field's homo, and hia employer's daughter was said to bo very much interested in him. "There was really nothing between them but friendship," said a gentleman to day. Mr. Hotch Uiswas very much pleaso with matters, as ho regarded Mr.

Flynn as a clever man. His Bon (iuy had left his young wife and son in a fit of Jealousy, it was said, of Flynn's influence oyer his father, so whatever hopes he had for the young man were shattered and Mr. Flynn found himself a member of tho firm in 187:1. Mr. Brown, his brother in law, was made a bookkeeper aud the junior member worked hard to extend the business anil BUccessfuUy.

He boarded with his sister on South Tenth street and looked after his brother Joseph. Miss Field after tho death of her father also boarded in the Brown family." Mr. riynn made a tuidden jump into politics in 1875.

Mr. Hotohkiss' career in California was rather checkered. His son, a man now years old, found him after a long search, and, after explaining who he was, induced him to come homo with him. When he left his son was only a baby. Nothing was heard of Guy for seventeen or eighteon years.

Tho firm of Hotchkins. Field Co. has at pres. cut a warehouse nearly ojipiwile the old fsetory at Kent avenue and South Eighth street. Young Mr.

Field was seen thero this afternoon by an F.Ac.Li reporter. Ho said that lie had not been employed by tho firm, but was sent a week ago to take an inventory of stock. He added that tho firm was supposed to bo interested in all of Mr. Flynn's contracts. Mr.

A Scene or Excitement at Flatbush Dc pot A Church Excursion Which Didn't Come Off. "Hurrah! hurrah! for a day '8 pleasure in tho woods.1: That'a what tho circular said, but the woods turned out to bo tho Long Island Railroad depot, at Flatbush and Atlantic avenues, and even ont of this place wero tho pleasure seekers turned. It was the annual excursion of the Bridgo Street African Methodist Episcopal Sunday School, and at 9 o'clock this morning several hundred gaily dressed colored girls aud boys with their teachers marched' with banners and baskets from below Myrtle avenue through Bridgo street across Fulton, into Schor merhorn and through Flatbush avenue to the depot, whero thoy boarded trains in waiting. They wero followed by their big brothers and beaux and all were gleefnl. "To Amityvillo, thirty two milos out on Long Island, fine boating and fishing," the circular continued, but no Amityvillo was roaohed, no boating or fishing was done.

From all parts of tho city colorod persons flocked to tho deDot, for the annual Bridgo street excursion is a notable event in Colordom. Last year a woman was shot on tho excursion of tho church up the Hudson and scars this morning distinguished many gentlemen who had been on the sail and didn't got out of tho melee boforo officers from the police boat Patrol stopped the razor exercise. Tho elder of the church is tho Rev. J. S.

Thompson, a mo3t estimable gentleman, who was on hand early this morning in a wide brimmod brown straw derby aud long black alpnea duster. Though trying to be pleasant Elder Thompson woro an anxious look, for ho had hoiOd that among tlie excursionists were gentlemen we'll known to tho police and all ox pert in the handling of that which shaves or slashes. The train was advertised to leave the Flatbush avonuo depot nt A. M. sharp, and to stnp at East New York aud Jamaica for other excursionists who wished to join tho party, but when 10 o'clock camo and no move was mado the ten carloads of dark humanity began to get impatient.

Tho colored band played something about watermelons which oased the crowd for a whilo and made thorn sing and danco. and then flasks began to appear and tho gurglings and smacking of lip3 seemed to give intense delight. Flasks made room for larger bottles, and beforo long a good looking yellow girl in a lilac dress In tho first oar had a crowd about enjoying her high kicking. Hilarity now reigned in all the cars and they sang: "Come get on de boat For we're all goin' afloat, Dip me in de golden sea." When thoy got tired singing this and other songs tho crowd again became anxious to start and shouts of "What's the matter with the train?" were frequent. Meanwhile Elder Thompson, Mr.

Wallace, tho Fulton Ferry hot com man, and several of the sisters wero arguing with the station keeper that he should take a note for tho balance duo for transportation, but tho money taker was obdurate and wanted cash. The full amount of the contract for ten oars was $305, and only $120 was forthcoming. A raid through the cars was mado for those who hadn't paid, money was borrowed and subscribed, aud when counted out on tho money taker's window in pennies, dimes and bills, it was found that thero waa a deficiency of nearly $100. Other traffic on tho road was being iin pedotl and at 13:45 orders came if the money wasn't forthcoming in fifteen minutes to put all hands off tho cars. At 1 o'clock the elder and deacons wero frantic, but tin: railroad officials were heartless and tho squad of officers from the Tenth Precinct were ordered to do their duty.

Then thero was bedlam. Tho excursionists for a long time couldn't understand why thoy wero ordered off tho cars, but when thev did tho revilings were terrible and original. The crowd surged through the gates shouting for thoir monev back, for the tarring and feathering of the committee, nd all manner of things and "scrap3" were without number. Threats were mado to lynch, knife and jump on the committeo by tho women as well as the men, and the polico had their hands full, but performed thoir duty well. No one got their money back, and the war that will ensue in the church can be imagined.

Ho Knocked Down au Officer on a Roekaway Train. Christonher Gibbons, colored, vho said ho was a policeman attached to the Twelfth PrecinctSta tion in Brooklyn, and who officiates as a ciooi mau, was on trial yesterday afternoon before Justice Kavanagh, in Long Island City, charged with disorderly conduct on a train on the New York and Roekaway Beach Railroad.

The prosecution was represented by JamestS. Allen, and Thomas E. Pearsall represented Gibbons. Tho scrimmage occurred last Thursday night on the way from tho beach to the city. Gibbons and a party of friends spent tho day at tho seashore aud were in exuberant spirits when returning.

Gibbons tried to be funny and went through the car knocking hats from heads. The passengers complained to Officer McLean, who ordered Gibbons to quit skylarking and take u.it nihlinnti ve ipiitnil the officer's command and knocked him down in the seufilo that ensued. Officer Connors appeared on the'seeno opportunely, and the result was that Gibbons received a severe clubbing. He caused the crreit of Officer Connors and had him arraigned in Justice Putt Orson's Court, in Brooklyn. The complaint was void, because the alleged offense occurred in Queens County.

The railroad company ordered tiie prosecution of Gibbons for assaulting Oili McLean. His defense was that the officer was knocked down by accident, and a dozen persons corroborated his testimony. Nevertheless, Justice Kavanagh found Gibbons guilty and fined him $30. MORE CHEERS FOR PRESIDENT HARRISON. Drizzling Kain ock Not Dampen TVew England fnttiuulasiin.

Among the inmates of tho Kings County Hospital is Ah Tson Sane. He is abont 3 0 yoars of age, has been in this country about two years and is a laundryman. He was in tho employ or a fellow countryman in Jay street and later worked in a laundry in Gold street. It was while he was at this last place that he began to attend tho Atlantic Avenue Chinese Sunday School. He accounted for eruptions on face and neok and somo discoloration of tho hands by Baying that thoy wero Chronic When, however, the lower limbs became swollen and the hands assumed a dark huo the ladies connocted with the school became alarmed and medical aid was summoned.

Then Seno was lost sight of for Borne time and when ho was again heard from he was in one 0 the male wards of tho Flatbush Hospital, tho local hoalth authorities boing none the wiBer. Dr. J. Osgood, the houso doctor of the hospital, was seon at the institution yesterday by a reporter. He acknowledged the prosenoe of the patient and added that ho had improved during the past few months.

"Is he a leper doctor asked the reporter. "Oh," was the roply, "there was Bome talk to that effect, but it ia uuwiso to give credence to all you hoar. Thero was a case of leprosy here some ten years ago. and muoh comment was excited by tho affair at the time. Tho patient was a China, man, but I did not see him.

If this man is suffering from leprosy I should consider tho other patients of tha ward wore in danger. Just how leprosy is communicated is as yet undecided. But I imagine that it is contagious. That is to Bay it may be conveyed from one person to the other, by touch or Seno ia a little man, poisibly 4 foot 10 inches high. He has a high sloping forehead, a thick mass of straight blask hair, and as far as could bo seen, a fairly intelligent face.

His form is slight and his hands and foet very small. He was sitting in a dejected attitude on a littlo stool in the center of the ward when the reporter saw him. Beginning just below the cheek bones and extending to the chin was a mass ot hard look ing eruptions, the lower and larger ones being about tho sizo of a pea. There was a nimy growth over the white of tho loft eye. The skin of tho neck was discolored, and patches of a brownish hue appeared hero and there on the throat.

Tho lower half of tho lingers or the loit hand and tho entire back of tho member was of a dark purple huo very much tho color of a ripe plum. The right hand was discolored in the same way, but not to the same extent. Tlie flosh of one arm was much wasted, and fully three fourths of its surface was coverod with scaly brown spots and clusters of small pimples. There were also a quantity of what appoared to bo sub cuticle stains of a brown hue. TERRY'S DEATH.

Was Deputy Marshal Nagle Acting Under Orders 1 He Had Been Authorized by Direction of Attorney General Miller to Protect Justice Field From Assault The Inquest. Indianatolis, August 15. Attorney General Miller was found at his home, on North Delaware street, and asked concerning the command which he was quoted as having made to the marshal at San Francisco. It was given out," said he, "under my direction. In Jnne, I think it was, Justice Field and, I believe, some others, brought to my mind the case, referring to the trouble there had been out there last Summer, and saying thore would likely bo trouble again this Summer; there was danger that Judge Terry, who was stated to be a violent and desperate man, would very likely make a deadly assault upon Field and Judge Sawyerone or both of them and that some precautions ought to be taken in tho premises.

I therefore called tho attention of tho marshal of that district to these statements, and told him that it was due to the country and tho courts that precautions should be taken to keop tho peace and protect tho courts and judges in the discharge of their duties; and that such a number of court officers should bo employed as would accomplish this result; that tho judges ought to be permitted to discharge their duties without danger and without malice. I also instructed him to consult the United States Attorney and judges as to the course to be pursued in the premises. In a talk with Justice Field about tho mat tor, before ho wont West, ho stated that, whiio ho did not fear Judge Terry, he did expect that the latter would assault him make a deadly assault upon him as well as Judgo Sawyer when that case should come on. But ho proposed, as 'ho know Judgo Sawyer would, to perform his dutios in tho usual way, without regard to consequences. He stated to me at the time that he had been advised to arm himself, with the view to such a contingency, but that on reflection ho had concluded not to do so, as ho had not been wont to carry weapons and did not think it consistent with the dignity and proprieties of his position." "Wore you surprised to hear of this affair today 1" the Attorney General was asked.

"Yes, I was: for while I had boon warned that thorn was danger, I had hoped it was not so great as reported, and beside, I had expected that if any troublo occurred it would arise in or about the courts."

Emanuel I. S. Hart, proprietor of tho Electric Storeopticon Advertising Company, writes to indorse the plan for raising a fund by popular subscription. It is altogether contrary to the spirit of our nation, he Bays, to apply for Government aid in matters of industrial enterprises. No extraordinary premium should bo promised; merely the legal interest.

Tho use of Central Park for the fair he decidedly disapproves of. Robert B. Roosevelt, president of the Holland Trust Company, 7 Wall street, writes: "The plan suggested for the World's Fair of 1802 of issuing $10,000,000 stock, in Bhares of $10 each, or bonds of $50 each (or perhaps both of them), with coupons receivable for admission, seems to us feasible. The business method of preventing over issues, by accident or otherwise, and of preventing imitation or forgery of such certificates or bonds, being to have each one certified by a trust company, wo heroby offer as our contribution toward this groat undertaking for the benefit of our city to certify such certificates and bonds, or either of them, without charge, the usual rate for such services being from 50 cents to $1 each." P. Leckler, of GOO East One Hundred and Fifty ninth street, writes suggesting Crotona Park and the lower part of Bronx Park as a site for the exposition.

A HEW CONSULAR AGESCY. Washington, D. August 15. Tho State Department has decided to establish a new consular agonoy at Winterthur, sixteen mileB from Zurich, Switzerland. The falls of the Rhine are located there, and are visited by large numbers of Amoriian tourists.

And Is IVoiv Anxious to Discover the Other. Abont six months ago John Murphy, agqd 68, of Springfield, 111., picked up a copy of the Eaole in a hotel at that place and saw in it an account of tho Emorald ball in the Academy of Music. He glanced over the long list of names of those in attendance and many of thorn wero familiar to im. Mr Murphy hadn't aeon his brother Dan iel, 59 years old. for thirty five years.

Ho mailed $1 to the Eagle, for an advertisement, asking for information of Daniel, and in less than week he had a letter from Daniel, who re sides at 174 Eighth street, South Brooklyn. Yesterday the two brothers wero in tho Eaole office to advertise for a younger brother named Denis. About forty years ago John Murphy left tho Parish of Kilmnrray, Town Bhip of Crosmahan, County Cork, Ireland, and camo to New York. He found employment with Grocer Thomas Martin, at the corner of B.iyard and Orange (now Baxter) streets, Now York, and by attention to business earned enough to send money for his younger brothers to come to tho New World. Finally tho threo brothers drifted to Penfiold, near Rochester, whero they went to work on a railroad for Contractor Sullivan, who was from Claytook, tho next parish to them at home.

Thoir earnings then wero cents each per day. After a whilo John went out to Ohio and from there drif ttd around the world. Daniel drifted East and thence to Brooklyn and Denis, the youngest, wont with Contractor SulU an to Detroit, Mich. John finally Bottled down in Springfield at 241 West Reynold streot, and has amassed considerable property. His wiio died two years ago, and as ho feels ho haBn't many more years to live ho wants to make provision that his two brothers get a bit his money," ho BayB when ho dies, until advertised in tho Eagle ho had heard from noither sinco leaving the railroad work, near Rochester, though ho repeatedly advertised in the 7osfou Post and other papers.

If any one can s'ond word to the Eagle or 174 Eighth street, South Brooklyn, whero this particular Donis Murphy is, if living, three brothers will bo made appy and it won't bo a bad thing for Denis. THE FIFTH AVESUK EbEVATID TO GKKKXw'OOD.

It consisted of four cars and was followed at regular intervals of five minutes by other traiua. Tho now station on this line at Hudson avenne and Fulton streot was oponed at the aamo time.

Its Occupants Believed to Hiive Been Saved Some Contradictory Accouuts From the Bay. Captain John Foster, of tho sloop yacht White Swan, reached Canarsie Landing last evouing with a catrigged boat which ho had found upset in Roekaway Inlet near the ocean.

Tho boat was namoless, and tho question naturally presented tsclf whether anyone had been drowned. Tho tories in relation to tho flighting of tho over turned boat are somowhat contradictory, espo ially so in reference to tho time. Tho opinions two mon, both of whom rro employes on tho Bamo boat, differ to the extent of two hours After a thorough investigation thero ib no question that the boat was upsot between 1 and 2 clock in the afternoon. As far as could bo learned, there were two men in it when it capsized. Who thoy wero or where they reside cannot at present bo told.

Whether they wero drowned or escued is also a matter of opinion. Julius C. Steinhouser, a Twentj' sixth ard sa loonkeeper, started yesterday morning with a party of friends to troll for blue fish. The weathor was very threatening and the captain of tho boat rofnsod to go "outside" and the mem bers of tho party started in at "still" fishing. Suddenly Steinhouser discovered an object in the water that at first looked like a floating log.

He called tho attention of the captain of the boat and the sloop at once put about. As thoy noared tho object all on board saw that it was a capsized boat, but beforo they could reach it, anothor sloop yacht hove to and towed tho upset vessel toward Canarsio shore. An Eaole reporter went to Canarsio landing this morning and saw tho boat which, it was learned, Captain Foster had towod in. Sho is an open centcrboard boat, clinker built and 16 feet long. She is catrigged and is painted white on tho inside and green on the outside.

The boat bears no name, and experts say that she was never built on Jamaica Bay. Where sho belongs is a mystery. Captain Richard McAvoy, of tho steamer Julia, plying between Canarsio audllock away Beach, said to the reporter; I believe it was on my 4 o'clock trip Irom Roekaway Beach when I noticed an upset boat in Beach Channel. There was one man on tho sido of the capsized boat and another on tho mast. The sail was lying on the water.

I changed my course to go to the rescue of the two men, but hardly had I done so when a small boat reached them and took them aboard. Believing that they wero safe, I started on my trip to Canarsie." Bichard Guyler, acting purser of tho steamer Julia, differs with the captain. It was about 2 o'clock," ho said, when 1 saw the upset boat. I called McAvoy's attention to the fact. A small boat picked up two men and started for Roekaway shore.

There was only ono other man in the small boat beside the two picked up." FEARLESS MRS. ZULLER. Her Husband Will Probably Support Her in Future. Mrs. Louisa Zeller, the woman who raised a rumpus in the cabin of a Pennsylvania Railroad ferry boat, from Jersey City, last lugnt, uy assaulting her husband, Frederick, was this morning arraigned before Justice Hogan at tho Tombs l'olico Court, in Now York.

Mrs. Zeller is a handsome young woman and was well dressed. Sho said she lived at 187 Chrystio street. Tho husband lives at 317 Broome streot. The couple havo been married fivi vuars and havo two children.

Mrs. Zeller was watching for her husband when ho entored the ferry hoimo with an actress on the Jersey side last night. She allowed him to get on tho boat beforo she accosted him. The couple raised such a row that tho cry of "Police" rang out, and when the boat reached this side both rushed to prefer a charge against each other. Officer Lambrocht, in order to please all, arrested both for disorderly conduct, They speut tho night in tho Church street police station, but did not seem any the worse of it when arraigned in court today.

Zeller is a musician. BEER AND BAD BLOOD. Mr. Schanb Accnwed of Strikinir IS in Wife With a Chair, Ibert Schaub, of 116 Suydam streot, was before Gocttinc this morning on a charge of striking his wife, Eliza, with a chair on Saturday last. Mrs.

She caught up tho pitcher and threw the remainder of the beer over him. Ho struck hor and she retreated behind the chair. He caught up tho chair and struck her in tho side, injuring her so severely that Bho had to receive medical attention.

Mrs. Schaub was corroborated by hor two little daughters, aged 5 and 7 years.

The chargo was that she is an habitual drunkard and neglects her four children, all under 10 yearB of age. Officer Shaughneggy, who waa charged with tho duty of arresting Mrs.

Horan on a warrant, stated that when he went to the place last evening the neatness of the place, the appearanco of the woman herself and the absence of all indication of ill usago toward tho children rather puzzled him. Ho did not arrest the but merely notified her to appear. Mrs. Horan stated on her own behalf that Horan himself stays out lato at night and usually brings homo whisky, which he compels her to drink. Tho justice paroled her for examination on Tuesday.

MUNICIPAL. Gbneral Fowler Moves on the Mayor's Office. The Fonrtcenth Ro; i nent Veterans Indie; nont BEcanso They HaTO Been Ignored by the Aldermen Why They Ouzht to Go to Gettysburg The Board or Education Labor Controversy. "See here," exclaimed General E. B.

Fowler, at the Mavor'6 office this raorniiiK, "I have to pro dncc a card to let the Mayor of Brooklyn know who I am." The bluff veteran flourished a piste board and continued: "I'll show you the difference between men and places. The other day I went over to the office of Collector Erhardt. I had not seen him in more than fifteen years and I was a little cautious in approaching him, more especially because I was looking for BomethiiiE. The moment he saw mo he jumped up from his Beat and Bald: 'Why, Fowler, how do you do? I haven't seen you far many I wait unr prised. 'I didn't think you would kuow said I.

'Know you ho replied. 'Of course I'd know yon, although we haven't mot in more than fifteen When General Fowler called at tho Mayor's of fice Mr. Chapin was not there. The Jlayor knows Jfc general and a card would not have been nee etiaary for an audience had the Mayor Been him. Tho general called in company with Con Mahonoy and Alfred Cranston, aa a committee from tho Fourteenth Begiment, to tell Mr.

Chapin why tho veterans did not intend to take part in the celebration of "Brooklyn day" at Gettysburg. As a matter of fact, tho Fourteenth men are not going becanso they had been ignored by tho Aldermanic committee which has the purse and tho visit in charge. General Fowler Baidthat they had no request or demand to make in connection with the matter; they simply wanted to show the Jlayor why, in their opinion, thoy should be thero. "The Fourteenth," said ho, "was with one exception tho only distinctively Brooklyn regiment Which was in action at Gettysburg. That exception was Taff's Battery.

It is true that the Sixty seventh Begiment, a Brooklyn organization, was hold in reserve there, and it was not their fault that they did not go into action. TWn worn oilier Brooklyn soldiers on tho fi jld, but the Fourteenth was the only one composed ontireiy of Brooklyn men who had enlisted in Brooklyn. In my Judgment, it wouiu ue uu to have the roimont repre eeittcd at Gettysburg." The committee waited for a half hour for the Mayor, and as ho had not then appeared th ey left, promising to call again to morrow. Mr. McKee, chairman of the Aldermanic committee, said to day that no free would be issued to anybody save officials.

The visiting party would consist of city and county officials and Judges of the courts, and would number about eighty. There had been but $:2, 500 appropriated for expenses, and that amount would not go far. There was no slight to the veterans intended. No free tickets would be given to any outsiders, not even to tho press. Alderman Elcoek, a Fourteenth Begiment veteran and a member of the Aldermanic committee, said he disapproved of the action of the veterans.

He was not at the meeting of the veterans last night, but he understood he had been appointed as chairman of the committee to wait upon the Mayor. He was not notified of it, but if he had been he would not have served. Ho thought that the veterans should go to Gettysburg and pay their own expenses. Another veteran said: "If I had been at the meeting I should have been in favor of going to Gettysburg. The Fourteenth lieginiont has a monument there which it erected a few years ago, but Brooklyn day is not for tho Fourteenth Begiment alone.

We should go as individuals. All veterans who were at the battle should go." A member of the Aldermanic committee said: "The Fourteenth veterans asked for fifty tickets. When told they couldn't have them they came down to thirty. They will get none." HOARD 01' EM'C'ATION l.AJwr. CONTROVERSY.

Mr. James W. Naughton, superintendent of construction of the Hoard of Education, and "Walking Delegate Beatty, representing the labor unions, met. in the Mayor's office to day. The former called to talk with the Mayor about the latter's letter to President Hendrix in reference to the violation of the Eight Hour law in connection with work on school buildings.

Walking Delegate Be.uty called to procure the letter in question for the piirp.m' of taking to over it Mr. Hendrix, who saw the text of it for the first time in tho Eaiii.k of yesterday. Mr. Beatty said: There are men employed on work by the Board who did belong to the union, but who slipped out because they got better jobs under the Board. What we ask is that tho Eight Hour law lie enforced.

The rest we will care of. Do we want only union men employed cs; we respectfully ask that." Mr. Naiishtoii said Hint the work done by the mon in question was done at such times that the union rules could not be applied to them, as lie understood the matter. He had nothing to do with imposing the conditions under which the nicn were employed. These men had been employed for periods ranging from live to fifteen yearn, and the conditions under which thoy worked had existed for some years.

It is the Bchoolhousu Committee which sees to all these matters. I have never inquired of the men Whether they belonged to the union or not. I am Bimply carrying out the instructions laid down to me by the committee. The men have been working under the ten hour rule, and, as said, tho nature of the work is such that we. could hardly apply the union rules and accomplish all we do accomplish on the Mr.

Naughton did not see the Mayor. KKW MllI.DINUS. The Buildings Department to day issued these permits: To Beer and Similiter for five two story brick houses on Vernon avenue, near Sumner: cost To II.

Maybrick, now under sentence of death in London, paving been convicted of poisoning her husband with arsenic, are in receipt to day of some important facts to support their efforts in obtaining a stay and possibly a reprieve for the unfortunate worn in. Alfred Monek, a lawyer having an office at 1,725 Notre Dame street, Montreal, sends a letter to Bae A Macklin having a strong bearing in the Oibo. In his letter he states that a Mrs. Yapp answering the description of the Mrs. Yapp, who was the chief witness against Mrs.

Maybrick, had to leave Montreal about three years ago to escape tho possibility of being indicted for perjury. At that time a man named Melvin Smith brought an action against his wife for separation. Mrs. Yapp was tho chief witness for Smith and gave very damaging evidence against the wife. It was shown, however, that Smith's mistress and tho woman Yapp had, with Smith's aid, plotted a deep conspiracy to blacken Mrs.

Smith's character and prove her an adulteress. The evidence was all knocked sky high, however, and Mrs. Smith'B honor remained unblemished. Mrs. Yapp lied the country immediately afterward.

She was a married woman about 40 years of age. A well known lawyer, who arrived to day from England on the Teutonic, said: "I called to see the poor woman after her conviction. She presented a pitiable sight. In speaking of the case sho exclaimed: 'I did not do it, I did not do it. My folly I admit.

I was led astray by a inan who had unnatural inlluencc over mo. That was my only sin. I would sooner have lost my life on the spot than hurt one hair on my husband's head." Messrs. Boe Macklin will forward all the evidence in their possession regarding tho case to Secretary Blaine at once. They have great hopes of getting a reprieve for the luckless woman.

TRIED IT ON TWO A Naval Surgeon Tests Brown Sequard's Elixir. It Made a MercSiaut Feel Twenty Years Younger The licsults or Dr.

Crandall's Exneriinents. Dr. Percy Crandall, assistant surgeon on the United States ship Galena, now lying at the Navy Yard, enjoys tho distinction of being the first among a number of medical men in New York and Brooklyn whom he declares to he experimenting with the Brown Sequard elixir to have the results of his work made public. This morning he told an Eagle reporter who visited him on shipboard how he came to take up the famous Parisian idea and the results that attended his trials. The doetor first road about the elixir in the French journal, Frogres McMcal, and about threo or four months ago began in his laboratory at hiB home in New York, which he refused to locato more definitely in order that his family may be saved numerous calls from reporters to make the wonderful compound.

It was a very simple process, but tho greatest difficulty was experienced in getting patients. Tiro reputable merchants were found, however, in New York, whoso names Surgeon Crandall will not disclose, and who wcro willing in l.Kvr. the elixir injected into their systems. The habit i and condition of tho studied. Then one of men were first them, mmiu facturer years old, who suffered from overwork and brain exhaustion so that after an hour's exertion he was obliged to lie down and reBt, was treated to a hypodermic injection late one afternoon about three weeks ago.

The quantity of the injection was thirty minims or about half a teaspoonfnl of the liquid. Tho symptoms of the patient wore carefully watched all that attor noouaud evening, but not until the following morning was any change in his condition noted. When he awoke, however, he exhibited mark ed symptoms of exhilaration which Dr. Crandall set down as the result of mental influence, as he ixir. The etixiiixcu geiuie man.

however, attended to hi business tin. without resting and his right cheek nnl. on a healthy color. The next day he came to RiMnkivn and inspected his factory hnr, somc liail not attempted for three ye ars. Some time was allowed to elapse before administering a second injection, ho that the reaction from the first might observed, but no reaction was noted and during the past three weeks four additional injections wore made, with the result of rendering the BitWect twenty 3'eard younger in sensation and vigor.

Another patient, an importer with a largo correspondence to look after and in a feeble condition, was bo strengthened within a day after an injection of the elixir tnat he was able to attend to his duties without fatigue. When asked if ho was a thorough believer the etlieai of the Brown Sequard mixture, the doctor replied: "Well, we haven't experimented enough w.l nine 1, ab it. Where it has with been tried, though, the results in almost every case have been positive. Even if the compound should bo proved to be what Dr. Brown Sequard claims, I should not consider it such a very.

great thing. It cannot affect disease, except so far as bracing up and strengthening of the system combats it. The prime advantage of the elixir is in an effect on the system which cannot well bo discussed in any public print outside of a medical journal. And in one sense the thing jb nothing new. One oi the medical journals says: 'Horace, says the medical press, in ouo of his odes, beseeches the witch Canidia to reveal to him the secret draught which she prepared at night by crush iiv pieces of llesh torn from the most fiery horses of Borne, and the patricians, says the Latin pout, used tlita mysterious liquid with great Of course, thero are dozens of phvsicians experimenting with the elixir in New York and Brooklyn, but as yet no careful investigator would caro to predicate upon the basis of the comparatively small number of cases what qualities it may possess.

It is, in my opinion, a theory susceptible of development, perhaps, in tho matter of tho material of the compound in which some more readily obtainable extract may tako the place of tho animal juices emploved. It may reach a stage where the preparation will be put up in packages and sold at 1 a bottle, or something of the kind." Dr. Crandall said he intended to continue his experiments, and even now has a subject under his manipulation. The doetor is a dark boarded, pleasant faced manor medium height. Ho is about HO years old and is a graduate of the University of Penn svivaira.

He was appointed to the Navy in January, 1SSS. TWELVE PASSENGERS HURT Hy tlc Falling riivousfJi TTrcBtlo of a Train. Yincksn'es, August 15.

Grant is willing to Gire This City a Good Deal to Say About the Bte Fair if Oar Mayor Will Stir Himself a Little.

Handsome Mayor Hugh J. Grant, of New York, says that it is not his fault that a special committee of representative Brooklyn men has not been named for the City of Churches in the preliminary arrangements for tho great International Exhibition of 1802. "Mayor Alfred C. Baid Mr. Grant to an Eagle reporter this morning, "is responsible for the delay in the selection of Brooklyn mon to serve upon the committee.

I invited Mr. Chapin to attend the meeting held at my office several days ago for the purpose of laying out Bomo sort of a plan of work for the exhibition. Mr. Chapin replied through his secrotary that ho had received my invitation, but he did not say whether he would come to tho meeting or not. He did attend, however, but he failed to give us the pleasure of hearing from him during the deliberations.

I counted upon receiving suggestions from Mayor Chapin in regard to the part Twhich Brooklyn would take in the exhibition, and I stood ready to appoint upon the committee on Permanent Organization any prominent Brooklyn gentlemen whom Mayor Chapin might suggest. If none was named it was because your mayor did not speak about the matter to me. lu making up the committee I placed Mayor Chapin on tho list, and it is not too late even now to add tho namoa of other representative Kings County mon to it. Wo want tho help and co operation of Brooklyn in this great undertaking, and the city, on aceonnt of her largo and important industrial intorosts, will be bound to figure largely in tho show." Tho namcB of several Brooklyn men appear on the Committee on Permanent Organization, but they are there not as Brooklynitos but as the representatives of special industries. Mr.

Charlea Moore, tho preaident of the Kings County Young Republican Club, is cno of those. He belongs to tho railroad supply firm of Manning, Maxwell and Moore, and Mayor Grant was deluged with letters from men in this lino of business asking him to put Moore on tho committeo. "Charley" Moore a typical Yankee hustler. Ho is always on tho go aud it ia a particularly cold day when he allows Mooro Company to got left. His success in getting himself named on Mayor Grant's committeo is a proof of this.

Congressman Wallace received a printed form from the Exhibition Committee yesterday. Ho was requested to reply to tho questions: "Are you in favor of holding an international exhibition in 1802 7" Where do you think it ought to be hold 1" In reply to tho above tho Congressman wrote: "I am heartily in favor of holding an exhibition in 1802 and I think the East Sido Park lands in Brooklyn would bo the best place for holding tho world's JOHN B. GREEN FOR HAYOB. Here'a an Eurly Boomlct Headr lor tho Scythe. The upper wards of tho city havo bred a suggestion that John B.

Green, of the Twenty fifth, bo made the Republican candidato for Mayor. Mr. Green is an ablo young man who was chairman of the General Committee for a year and made it a very usoful machine by introducing some modern improvements. He camo from the headwaters of tho Hudson some years ago, but has grown up with the Twenty fifth Ward. The outlying districts are for him.

September 25 tho Date The Preliminarj Steps for the Fall Carapaign The State Committee Meeting In New York Today. There was a groat gathering of Eepubliean statesmen this misty morning at the Fifth Avenuo Hotel, whero they came together to decide upon a time and for holding tho State Convention. The crowd filled the corridorB and cau enssed in groups until noon came, when they congregatod in parlors and and adjusted themselves for business. The over faithful Anderson Lawrence and George Smith, his colored prototype acted as seneschal and messenger respectively. Tho attendance was full.

Bichard C. McCormick, from the First District; Israel F. Fischer, James M. Fuller, proxy for William Bay; S. V.

White and Edgar E. Griffiths represented tho Long Island end of things. Mr. William Howard Leaycraft, Major William Halstead Barker, Thomas Irving HugheB, James II. Butler and Granville W.

Har man were among tho eminent persons who stood around to see that things were properly i nn Other people of more eonocqnenco who did thn same wore ox Congressman John II. Camp, of Wayne County, Mr. Piatt's active agent: Congressman John Bainos, of Canandaigua; Senator John Langhlin, of Buffalo, aud Orris G. Warren, his active rival in Erie County's humpbacked politics; Assistant Treasurer of tho United States Ellis II. Roberts, Senator George Zalmon Erwin, of Potsdam; W.

Hull, of Bath and Judge Haight of tho Second Court of Appeals. Tho two last named gentlemen furnished the only real politics present. Judge Haight was placed on tho appeals bench from the Eighth Judicial District, which includes Buffalo. Ho wants tho nomination for Justice of the permanent Court of Appeals, to replaco Judge Danforth. His Buffalo friends, Warren and Georgo Urban, were hustling around telling everybody that thoy'd guarantee his running 5,000 votes ahead of tho ticket in the Eighth District.

Mr. Hull was interested in getting Jttdgo William Ramsey, of Bath, Steuben Couutv, on the ticket again. Ho ran last year against John Clinton Gray and was beaten but votes, running behind Harrison only in New York City. The judge is not actively socking the nomination, but his friends are keeping his name to the front. Be fore tho Bisons quit prancing around it was pretty generally conceded that Judge liaignt wouia gee the nomination.

A deep vibrating growl ran througn tne coin dors all tho morning. Thero is no most intense ml of dissatisfaction among the politicians over President Harrison's slow course in the matter ot latronage, and they were outspokenly angiy at Collector Erhardt for fleeing from town, leaving Democratic Deputy McClelland in charge, whom would bo a waste of time for any Jtepiiimcan up countryman to see. xnu wjuann i m. gratulato himself on being out 01 tne wnj. uuo other officeholder of eminence was absent trom the communings of tho committee, no was 1 ost inaster Cornelius Van Cott, who represents tho Seventh District of New York.

Mr. Van Cott is an exceedingly sick man and goes this afternoon to seek safety from office hunters up tlie miuson. His brother, Gabriel Van Cott, took mo place on the committee. Mr. Van Cotfs illness has neon generously prolonged by the importunities of men who want jobs.

Thoy havo tried to force their way to his bedside and have become terrible in their insistence. It appeared from tho corridor talk that up to date none of tho powerful persons there assembled had got anything. The petty places that have been distributed have not been of a sooth in" eliaraetor because so many Democrats aro in large places as to make the small patronago worthless. There are some wretched rows going on too, notably that in Aloany uounty, whoro tho faces of Smith O'Brien and James W. Bentley aro painting tho landscape with all the horrors of Civil War.

When these at last wero opened it was announced that the convention would be called at Saratoga oil oeptemoer and that the voto was 15 to 18.

John W. Vrooman and Frank Smith acted as secretaries. The next Stato convention will be composed of 777 delegates as against 000 last year. Of these New York will send l.TJ and Kings 81. The old quota for this county was (iG.

This is on a basis of representation of ono delegate for each 1,000 votes and for every fraction above 500. Kings gave Harrison a total of 00,070 ballots. The date set suits Mr. Piatt's convenience. Neithor Piatt nor Hiscock were present at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.

Tho Syracuse people made a hard fight, but when it was learned that Hiscock really did not care, Saratoga won. THE INQUIRY AS TO THECRUISER BOSTON. Captain O'Kane Woes Not Bcmcinlier Itarins' Mitchell Itock Pointed Out. Tim extent of the injuries to tho new United States cruiser Boston irom her grounding re cently in Newport Harbor has not yet been do termined. Captain Joseph N.

Miller, captain of the Navy Yard, said this morning that it would bo late this afternoon boforo any satisfactory examination of the vessel's bottom could bo made in the dry dock. Lieutenant Commander Knox, executive officer of tho Boston, testified before the Court of Inquiry into the circumstances of the accident that he sent several men to the engine room and also sent divers down to ascertain the effect of the vessel's bumping on. the rock. The hitter found an opening in tho ship's bottom 10 feet long and in some places 4 inches wide, which was plugged up with wooden wedges. Chief Engineer David Smith told the court ho had got orders to slacken up Just before tho collision.

Captain O'Kane, recalled, said he had ordered tho helm hard a port just before the Boston struck, and was sure everything was safe. Ho did not remember that Navigator Kellogg had pointed out tho Mitchell rock on the chart as the latter testified yesterday. Tho court adjourned; at noon until IS o'clock. Commodore Ramsay, commandant of tho yard, has issued an order that warrant officers shall remain at the yatd from bell ring to bell ring. Some of tho boys do not relish this.
