A limber of Official Kellers Wliicli the Casualty CiUlccl forth. Judge Bartlett Denies His Application for a Mandamus. The Mnyor Elect of Island City Wanted Authority to Compel (Urn son to Turn Over the Books and Papers HeJonging to the City Official, but. the Justice of the Supremo Court Holds That the President or the Board of Aldermen Is the Man to Take Charge of the Porntnents Pending (ho of the Mayoralty Dispute. Justice Bartlott of ttio supremo court this morning haudod down a lengthy decision by i which ho denies tho application of Horatio S.

Sanford for a writ of mandamus to compel Pat rick J. Glcason to band over tho books and papers of the office of Mayor of Long Island City. His honor intimated on the hearing of the motion yesterday that he would'reserve decision until to day and. consequently, the court room was crowded by politicians from tin: town over which Mr. ((leuson has presided as mayor for so long.

When tie; fact became known that Snnford's application had been denied tliero was i om i wibl rejoicing. Hut when counsel 1 had grabbed the opinion and settled down to I reading it aloud to the assembled poop!" in an: adjoining room ino joy oi tho (ileasonitcs was somewhat diminished. The text of Judge Bartlett's decision is as follows: This is an application for a peremptory writ of mandamus directing the respondent to deliver over to the relator, who claims to be his duly elected successor as mayor of Long Island City, the books, papers and "other property aud effects appertaining to the ollb of mayor. The article of the revised statutes which I provides for a summary process before a justice of the supreme court to compel the dclivcrv of books ami papers by public 10, successors appears to have been repealed bv the legislature of lS'J j. iThe laws of vol.

page l.GUS). While that part of the revised statute was euforced, it afforded au efllcient remedy in ull eases iu which Die title to the ofllee free from reasonable doubt and there was no occasion to resort to the writ of mandamus as a moans of obtaining official bo jks and papers. Now, however, in view of the fact that the summary proceedings to obtain books and papers has been abrogated by the repeal last winter, mandamus proceedings seem to rurnish the only means of accomplishing the same end, and learned counsel, who represent the respondent, substantially eoacedi) upon the argument that proceedings ar i never proper If a case js out which, under thu revised statute, would have authorized a supremo court justice to order thnt the books and papers appertaining to en ofllee should be turned over by assent, giving office, to ms liio code of civil procedure a pcremp writ oi mandamus cannot bo granted, in "rsi instance, unless the at.plic right to the writ depends only upon ijucsti. (code, section The opposing is of law affidavit does not rs of tho in behalf of the respondent, controvert the allegation in tic later to the effect that Horatio S. Sanford now has, upon tlie face or the returns of the last i eleetioii.

Ilcd in the citv clerk's ofilco iu Lou l. land City, a clear plurality of bin votes for mayor. Tins is the fun. l.imeutal fact upon which the relator bases his claim to have the books and papers of the mayor's office turned over to him. contends in substance that the original certiffejite of election furnished by the city clerk to Pairick .1.

(ileasou Is nugatory by reason that it. was l.os upon incorrect returns, as the court has already adjudicated, and that, in the nbs i corn ot a new eertitlcate bosud upon tho ted returns, ho has a prima fucia I titie v. the office oi Hisvor, bv reason of tue tact unit sucti thjlt SHell vleee 1, veivud a plurality ot the votes east for that lllce. in oonositioM to tlds i 1 lcrned counsel (or the respondent lnris! that whatever view may be taken us to tho result of t''e recent election for mavor In Long Island I City, Mr. Gleason is entitled to hold the office it tne present time under Hie nrovisiou of be i piioi.c omcers i.

nv oj mi'a, widen reads as follows: Every officer, except a judicial officer, and notary public and an officer whose term in llx by the constitution having duly entered upon tho duties of his office, snail, unless the officii shall terminate or bo abolished, hold over ana to uisenargo tne duties of his office after the expiration of the term for which ho shall have been chosen and qualified, but after the expiration of such term the office shall be deemed vacant for the purpose of choosing bis successor." It is furtlcr argud in beliali of the respondent that r. Sanford i aunoi become In tho sense of the law until his election has been declared by a cortincuto of the city clerk, and hence that, although Mr. Gleasim's "title to the office may not rest solely on the pact that he is holding over, yet so long as he does hold over, ho is the lawful custodian of the books and papers appertaining to the office of mavor. It is a establLslk in the construction statul that a subsequent statute of general application oo. no; operate as a repeal of a prior particular statute unless intention to repeal the.

iiarticuinr statute is di.st in. lnanilested. Tne chnrt'T of Long Island City contains specni. provisions devolving iliodutics of mayor upon the president of the board of 'aldermen whenever the mayor shall bounder impeachment or there shall be vaeau cy in the office of muyur, or whenever, by sickness, from the or otle cause, tlie mayor shall be prevented from attending to his duties. I do not think the language widen has been quoted from the public officers' law of lsw was intended to peal the special provisions in iic charter of Long Island City.

The public officers' law is a part of Iho general provision of the statutes of the state, winch has I i in progress years, and its provisions ar ii. be construed as a continuation of pre existing statutes the sau subject rather than us le v. enactment This is the rule of obstruction laid d. by tin. legislature itself in the statutory construction law of last year.

The action Jf lb officers' law, upon which tho respondent relies, was evidently designed to be iu substance only a r. maetmcn; of similar section In the revised s. It tnerotore.

'Ioii Jine Miyn 'Flint Tlie Can lt Ie Lowered. In reference to the bill introduced at Albany by Senator Byrnes, to the end of reducing the ov. the Wllllamsburgh nud Greeiipoint ferries from to cents, Joseph J. O'Donohue. president of the York ami lirooklyn Ferry company, said this morning to an Eaoi.k ro porl'T I do not scij how that the measure can go through.

It seems to me that If its frnmers un ibrsto. Tic' scope of the contracts our ompany made with the two cities, they would have Introduced tin: bib. '1 he contracts. which do not expire for some six or seven years yet, spooiffed the fares to be charged. They are reasonable enough.

1 think, taking into ccmsid oration the distance covered ut each trip. We an; expected to live up to the terms of the contra ts and we do. It would be manifestly unjust if the other par to the agreements were permitted by any means whatevr to depart from their stipulations. I don't remember ever bearing a complaint from the T.u'dii alleging that the fares were excessive. It seems singular that action should be tukeu without an apu.ireut foundation of wiLlie sentiment.

As a matter of fact arc doing ie.s business over th" ferries now, than we have done fer years. The opening up oi residential sections not on Long Island, the popularity of the bridge and other causes conspire to decrease our revenue. Nevertheless I nm not pleading ill! thut In order to show why tho 1 .111 in question should not be passed. Did I need arguments to that enrt I could tlnd plenty, th ehi and, Ii seems to me. the only one necessary, being the fact that, us I have already tin bill is the easiern mstriet bridge.

Hayes, whoso trial for forgerj is going on in general sessions court, Now York, went to the court room this morning from a cell iu the Tombs, where ho had passed tho night. After tho adjournment of the trial last night Assistant District Attorney Weeks asked Judge Martino to commit Hayes to the Tombs, in view of certain damuging testimony made by Ir. McGregor. This was done. Hayes manifested no surprise.

His wife accompanied him to the cell door, and was there to meet him early this morning. She walked to tho court with him, a court officer keeping a watchful eyo on both. Before tho trial began this morning Hayes gave expression to his views on prison lire. "If everybody is treated at the Tombs as well as I was," ho said, "no one has anything to complain of. I was treated liko a gentleman, given plenty to eat and warm bed clotliing.

I had as companion in my cell a nice young man, who was a good conversationalist, and had candles. He said he had no idea why ho was iocked ur. If he had wanted to run awav, ho said, he had plenty of opportunities to do so before. Hayes is charged with perjury because, as alleged, he swore in a suit brought bv Miss Annio Keating to recover 52,000 on note mado by him in her favor, that he never signed the note and was in Florida when sho said ho signed it in New York. Miss Keating has been tho principal witness so far.

Sho "has sworn that Kayes was the father of her three children, and that the noto was to provide for their maintenance. Ur. McGregor swore yesterdav that ho' attended Hayes in November, 1S87, when as alleged, Hayes swore he was in Florida. Henry W. Bates, attorney.

13 Broadway, was tho first witness this morning. Ho testified that ho had known Hayes since 188.1. When ho was asked about a conversation which took place between Hayes and himself in May, 1891, witness said he desired to make a statement Ho asked tho court to excuse him from testifying, because ho hud acted in cases of Haye3 previous to 1891, and believed that Hayes would not havo spoken to him as bo did, if he (witness) had not been a lawyer. Tho district attorney argued that the conversation referred to did not relate in anv wav to tho suit iu which witness acted as Hayes' attorney. Witness said tho conversation related to the note given Miss Keating by Hnyos, out of which grew the trial for perjury.

Tho suit in which he had been engaged as Hayes' lawyer had also reference to tho note. Judge Martina ruled that the witness might be excused from testifying, and he stepped down. Dr. Harlyu Hitehock. 19 Broadway, New York, was then culled.

His office is in tho same building with F.li C. Townsend, tho notary, before whom Hayes is said to havo committed the perjury. Then came the sensation. Witness said he overheard a conversation thai took place between Townsend and Hayes lact week. Hayes, he said, asked Townsend to testify in his behalf at this trial.

Hayes said to Town send: "I do not want to say anything about paying you an exact sum. but "I will see thut it is to your benefit. I will take a third interest in that thing" (pointing to tho model of an invention). Townsend, witness said, replied that he did not want to havo anything said ubout payment then. The interview terminated.

Mr. Howe began his cross examination by asking witness if ho could nama ono patient ho had had within tho last month. Witness said "No." "Within tho last two months?" asked Mr. Howe. "No," replied tho witness.

Witness' oGlee, ho said, was Boom 5, tho samo room as Townsend's office. The conversation between Townsend and Hayes was perfectly audible. Tho model was ono of a machine for dispensing toilet paper. Witness had an interest in it. When 3Ir.

Howe said, "That's all," Mr. Wooks announced that tho people's case was closed. Mr. Howe moved that the court charge the jury to dismiss tho indictment, on tho grouud thut sufficient evidence to establish a engo had not been submitted by the peoplo to tho jury. Ho said that a prima facio ease was needed and none had been made out.

The prosecution had not proven that Hayes had made the affidavit to To wiiscnd upon which the perjury charge was based. Also, ho said, no ono but Miss Keating had testified that Huyes had made the noto about which so much had been said. Tliero is no evidence," he continued, "that Hayes was here when it is alleged that ho was ia Florida, except that of old Dr. McGregor, whose memory is getting bad. I make this motion in good faith." Motion denied," promptly answered Judge Mr.

ifowo then mado a speech to the Jury, in which he said thut they were called upon to do eide one of tho greatest romances ever introduced into a court of justice. He hoped that they would not bo prejudiced by tho lact that tho complainant was a young anil pretty woman. "Tho conviction of llnycC he said, "will be a wrong, au outrage, a desecration justice." Ho claimed that Hayes had demanded tho trial. In outlining the "defense Mr. Howe said ho would prove that tho note was never delivered to Miss Keating, but that she stole it out ot Ilayes trunk while inmate of tho Hayes' houso.

Mr. Howe waxed very pathetic over Mrs. Hayes' connection with the case. A TABEBA'ACLE JCWLHEXT REVERSED. XIic General Xerin Decide in Favor of Joint Wood.

Tho general term of tho supremo court has roversed the judgment of tho lower court in the suit brought by Jacob Schwartz and Anton Wetzel against John Wood, one of the Tabernacle trustees and at one time its treasurer. The origin of the action arose on January 27, ISM. At that time the appellants' counsel, Charles 31. Stafford, states that an agent of the plaintiffs called upon Mr. Wood, who was then an ofliccr of the Tabernacle, and told him that ibe plaintiffs had been endeavoring to obtain permission to make a bust of )r.

Tnlmage. They proposed that if Jlr. Wood would obtain the pastors permission to sit for this bust and would agreo to take fifty of thorn when completed, he could have the exclusive right to their sale in Brooklyn, while tho sculptors sold them about ttio country. Tho permission was obtained and Mr. Wood "says he told tho plaintiffs' representative that tho bust must be of foil size and a good likeness.

Tho ilrst one made must bo submitted as a sample. This, the defendant says, was agreed to and Dr. Talmugo gave tho sculptor several sittings. Later, Mr. Hoye, who acted as tho plaintiffs' agent, called upon Mr.

Wood with the sample. The defendant says that tho bust did not look like his pastor: it was not life size and those who came in to see it, said it was not a bust of Dr. Talmage at nil. Mr. Wood said that the sculptors took the bust away and promised to make such alterations as were possible.

They got a number of photographs of the pastor. Mr. Wood declares that hi; informed tho plaintiffs that the bust was to be mado from sittings and not from pictures. The case was sent to a referee, who found in favor of the Then tho defendant appealed and the general term reverses the judgment. Auiong the grounds on which the reversal is had is mentioned the fact that the referee should not have excluded the testimony of tabernacle trustees us to the likeness of tho bust to Dr.

Talmage. Tho genera! term held that, whllo the tru. tecs were not artists, they were well acquainted with their pastor and could tell whether thu bust was a good likeness of him or not. I OLICE IUIIJS iX XEW YORK. A Policy Miin and Jrcn.m Books Found in 1'raiit Street.

Coombs told Mr. Kilgore that tho dead whom this monument was proposed to commemorate were from all parts of tho United States, that they had died in their country's cause and that every section of tho Union was interested and should unite with Brooklyn in this effort to do them honor. Mr. Kilgore wos, however, obdurate. Ho would not listen to any of the Brooklyn men nad Insisted upon his objection.

The result was that the bill was withdrawn and that tho committee of which Mr. Cummings is chairman were given until to morrow morning for further consideration of their measures, which include the Fort Greene bill. Congressman Cummings informed tho Eagle correspondent this afternoon that he was very much in doubt whether he would bring up tho billagniu to morrow. Ho said that his committee had other matters that they wished to bring before the houso and that he could not giva all the time of tho committeo to the Fort Greene monument bill. Mr.

Clancy, however, hoped to induce Mr. Cummings to bring up his bill to morrow. During the consideration of tho bill in tho house there was quite a scene of excitement, the bill having been before congress so often and the understanding being that to day it could be passed, if at any time. Some men aro born great others havo greatness thrust upon them. A Brooklyn man.

now a resident of this city may be enrolled in tho latter category. About a year ago tho city of "Washington was startled and horrified by an atrocious murder. A young man named Frank Schneider, without provocation, shot down in cold blood his wife and her brother. For this double murder he was tried and convicted and has been sentenced to death and his execution has been fixed for an early date in February. Schneider's people are well known in Washington and his brother is a leading architect and a man of means and position.

The killing was dono In front of the house of a Mr. Hamlink, father of Mrs. Schneider. Several shot3 were fired and one of them entered the house. After tho tragedy the Hamlink family moved out of their beautiful house on street and tho house has remained vacant.

No ono would take it, although it was offered at a comparatively nominal price. Very much, however, to the surpriso of tho neighbors, several big trucks yesterday drove up to tho house, tho windows were opened and a family mo veil in. To day It Is reported about the city that the Ilamliiik house is again occupied. Tho correspondent the Eag oe, out of curiosity and to find out who had courage to rent tho place, called there to day, and was greatly surprised to find that the occupant was Mr. George O.

Martin of Brooklyn, formerly a member of the Arm of Talmadgra Martin. Mr. Martin has brought his family on from Brooklyn and rented the house for a year. He Is now employed in the interior department and is head of the stationery division. In the wall of the front parlor of his now resider.eo is an ugly hole mado by a bullet from Murderer Schneider's pistol.

An effort has been mado to conceal It by pasting over it a bit of paper. THE PROJECTORS ARB CONTENTED. They Will Comitrnct tlc Two East River Bridges 110 Feet in Height. The decision of Secretary of "War Elkins that the two new East river bridge: must be 140 feet in height, did not cause a profound sensation among tho promoters of tho scheme residing in this city and Now York. After sleeping over tho report of Mr.

Elkins' sudden overruling of his first agreement at tho instigation of thereo ular army engineers, tho projectors resigned thomse Ives to the inevitable. A member of the firm of Hoadly. Lauterbaeh Johnson, counsel for the Bridge company, when interviewed by an Eaoix reporter to day, said "Tho decision is not all wo expected, but wo are content. "We will commence work as soon as sufficient money is raiBed for the purpose." This voices the sentiments of nearly all concerned and does away with Congressman Clancy's statement that tho company would let the matter stand over to tho Cleveland administration. The raising of money for building is said to be easy, owing tho construction company plan.

Stocks and bonds will be issued, iu Which European capital is to bo interested through tho borncing ilrm of LadenBurg, Thalman Co.u. of "Germany. Tho wealthy brewers of Brooklyn and Now York are expected to subscribo freely, as they aro largely represented on the board of directors. It is reported on good authority that the bonds will bo guaranteed by tho Brooklyn Elevated Bailroad company, in order to give them a standing in tho market. Tho bridge from the foot of Broadway will bo constructed first at an estimated cost of" 000.

Though it is not for me to givo a definite opinion I think it most probable that death was due to an accident, through his having fallen into tho hold.

OLD STORY OF JANUARY AXD JUNE. lEiifcbaiid (ft and Wife 1(1 Quarrel on Tlicir Ocean Voyaffe. A husband of and a wifo who says she is only 10 had a severe falling out in tho voyage across the ocean on thu steamship Olinda, which arrived from Lisbon this morning. They wero landed at Eliis island and the wife told tie Ellis island authorities in beautiful Portuguese that her elderly husband had abused her and that Sho wanted to return to her mother. Sh" said sho was 10 and her pretty face attracted tho sympathy of immigration officials, when thev learned of the domestic infelicities, as it linn at traded the sympathy of the captain of the steamship during the troublesome times be twoen the husband and his wife.

1 ho story of the marriage is somewhat, drn matic and is another Instance of the mystery Burrounding tho union of two hearts that beat as one. Joseph Anthonv, fifty six venrs ago. came to tais country from St. Michaels, in tho Azores, and settled in Plymouth. Ho grew hale and hearty, married nnd'well to do.

as that rm goes among men who follow the line of ffshing ns a living. Then his wife died and to relieve his mind of tho sorrow of bereavement, the old man returned on a visit to his old home. Virgilinni Consclcao. then a fair young girl, whoso renson could not resist the potency of an amour well conducted, promised to marry him, and she kept her won! on November L'7 last. They expected to be hnppv forever afterwards, but they weren't.

Tho little difficult' reached a climax after the couple had taken pnssagu on the steamship Olinda for this country. Of what really occurred perhaps the whole truth will never bo known, but Mrs. Anthony who ns a matter of course received tho greater amount of attention at tho immigration bureau, states that after abusing her roundly and publicly her husband struck and knocked" her down. He expressed his intention, too, she states, of repeating tho operation on the slightest prov canon nna gave understand that sonic. consideration must bo given to age.

She told Colonel Weber that she never mnr of fr' will, but that hoi parents, influenced by the apparent affluence of her suitor, forced her into th" happy union. coior.oi eoer mid no jurisdiction in tho as bo is unnblo to send back the wife of citizen. Ho told her, however, that she could return home if she wished to and could secure, the passage. As the captain of the ulinda was one of the most earnf i i sympathizers of tlie young woman, the probabilities are the. will" leave her husband on this side tv niouru tho susceptibilities of human nature.

THE Iir.HHIE TRUSTEES. I It 11 1 i Comment on Senator ITlcCart y's ICcdiiclng Their mubcr. To nn Eagle reporter to day a New York bridgo trustee made this statement: "Senator McCarty's bill creating a new board of eight bridge trustees, to be made up of tho mayors and controllers of Brooklyn and Now York and two members to be nppointed by tho mayors of each city, was Introduced without the knowledge of iho present board, though I know that many of the Individual members approve of the change for several reasons. The chief is that the body of twenty one trustees as now constituted is teo unwieldy. Wc rarely havo more than a bare quorum at anv of the meet ings and very often no meeting is hold for want of the eleven that constitute a quorum.

Th business of the bridge is nraetically in the hands of the executive committee. There have been former attempts to mako the board consist of live mambcrs and they failed. For myself I think three would bo enough." SIB. TOUXSEXD WmiiMtEW HIS i i Judtre Ilartlett IJot.n Xot Care to Inter i ore With Oilier Dfi tfrlct Courts. To day John I).

Townsend applied to Justice Bartlett of the supreme court for a stay on appeal to the g. n. ral term in the case of Morris Spiegel, who was convicted for presenting a false claim for insurance in the court of oyer and terminer. New Vork. some months ago.

It was alleged thai had claimed goods destroyed by lire, to be worth 000 when, in fact, thev v' cr worth but 2.000. Ho was wholesale liquor dealer at 10:5 Broad street. When the application was made Judge Bart lett said that he deemed it unwise for a judge in one district to runt a stay in a criminal case In another district, unless all the judges there had refused tin application. Mr. Townsend withdrew his motion.

Special to tho Aleaxt, N. January 19 A resolution recognizing tho loss tho country has sustained through the death of Buthorford 11.

Hayes was adopted by tho assembly this morning. It was presentod by Mr. Quigloy and dis ussed in ap propriate terms by Fish and Ainsworth. tho Re publican tributo being indorsed by Webster, a Democrat. O'Connor of Kings took the floor when Senator McCarty's bill was called up.

no declared that the measure simply legalized a technical violation of law and was in no senso of tho word a justification of anything in the nature of a wrong doing. The bit! was referred to the cities committee and will he reported to morrow, when it will probably pass without opposition. An important mcosuro loft the hands of the i iemocratic leader, nr. IJmgloy, this morning. It amends Chapter 529 of the.

laws of 1SS7, wtileli regulates tho hours of labor on elevated and surface roads in cities containing more than one hundred thousand inhabitants. Ten hours now constitute a day's work, but they are not necessarily consecutive Tho amendment provides that ten hours shall be tho limit, that they shall be consecutive and that reasonable time snail be allowed for eating. The new law is to apply to cities of 75,000 peoplo and the agents of corporations either exacting or accepting more than ten hours work may bo punished for misdemeanor. In cases of accident or of unavoidable delay, howover. it shall be lawful for railroads to accept extra labor, for which extra payment must be made.

This bill is cortain to provoke much discussion. The late James W. Husted gave a good deal of attention to a measure in some respects similar to Mr. Quigley's amendments. He argued that it was unconstitutional to prohibit the acceptance of any service volunteered by any employe, such prohibition boing an interference with inalienable rights.

Tho act is to take effect on January 1 next. Assomhlyman Durraok proposes to take a hand in railroad legislation. Ho characterizes as defective the bill introduced by Byrnes and providing for the depression of the Long Island Bailroad company's tracks between Flatbush avenue and the city line. Mr. Byrnes concedes tho justice of this characterization and is prepared to amend the measure ho submitted yesterday.

Durrack, however, does not propose to take any chances. He is having a bill prepared by eminent New Y'ork lawyers. Thero will be no doubt, ho says, about Its constitutionality. The most vulnerable point in Byrnes' bill is that which directs the city Brooklyn to seize the, company's property in tho oveut of its fnilurt to pay for having its tracks depressed if the work is dono by the city. Governor Flower sent a batch of nominations to tho senate to day.

The only one confirmed was that of Isaac C. Perry, capitol building commissioner. Tho other nominations were Michael IMckard, railroad commissioner, to succeed himsolf; Thomas F. Dowling of Albany, commissioner of labor statistics, to succeed Charles F. Peck; Goodwin Brown and ox Congressman lleeves, stato lunacy commissioners, to succeed themselves; F.

G. Schraub, dairy commissioner, in place of J. K. Brown. Feck, whose place i to be taken bv Dowling, Is tho author of the report which "attractod so much attention during tho late presidential campaign.

Tho reappointment of Itickard is not particularly gratifying to Mr. H. C. M. Thompson ot Brooklyn.

Mr. Thompson was formerly secretary of tho Brooklyn City railroad. Beforo becoming identified with that corporation ho was accountant in the office of tho railroad commissioners. Ho retired from tlie Brooklyn City ruilroad secretaryship under circumstances which would have made his succession to Itickard especially acceptable. Ills canvass for the placo was active and eager, but it is said in Albany that his appointment was never for a moment seriously contemplated.

Brooklyn already rejoices in tho possession of ono railroad commissioner, Alfred C. Chapln, but this is described as being one of Thompson'3 union handicaps. Senator MeCarty lias introduced a bill extending from two to six months the probation ary period for new members of the polico force, i It is urged in vindication of this moasune that two months aro not long enough to give the com i misslaner3 a fair chnncu to take the mensuro of a man to whom a shield has been intrusted. i From the same source comrs a bill conferring on tho pilots of polico boats tho ruuk of ser i geant3. Hamilton Fish, ut the instance of the gov ernor, has introduced a bill relieving his excel leney of tho cout act he made with S.

S. Sammis for thft riirelific. tl, Vi l.f.,', erty. In presenting tho bill Mr. Fish declared that in an emergen the governor had risen to tho occasion.

Ho mado that admission he snid, without any reference to what his colleagues 01 the minority might think of it Ho thought, however, that some provision looking to the protection of the peoplsof Suffolk county should bo inserted in the bill. Ho had no doubt that iho measure would commend itself to tho houso.
