SHK ABANDONED HBIt CHILD. A male child nhout 4 months old ven's abandoned in the hallway of 51 Enst Houston streot, Now York, by an unknown woman yesterday.

The child was cared for by Matron Webb at Police hoadquarters. It is rumored in tho Eastern District that January 1 tho Bushwick avenuo and South Fourth street Railroad will pass into the possession the City Railroad Company. ol of Driven to Desperation by Lover's Brutality, Her She Jumps From a Fourth Story Window and Receives Injuries Which Are Likely to Prove Fatal Remarkable Devotion Which Met With Anything But a Reward. During an attack of delirium tremens four weeks ago Thomas Sheridan, a plumber, Jumped from a window on tho fourth floor of tho tenement house 737 East Eleventh streot. Now York, where he lived, and died suddenly In consequence of his rash leap.

Among tho mourners who attendod his funeral was a young and handsome woman who was escorted in a carriage by Daniel Sheridan, a brother of tho dead man. Aftor the funeral he introduced the young woman to his fathorand mothor as Lilian Trinnoer and said she would become ono of tho Sheridan household to help his mother. His paronts at last consented to this, but not without much reluctance. The girl was modest aud reflnod and seemed far superior to tho surroundings sho thero mot with. It was hot long before old fDlks found that she loved Dan with au affection that approached idolatry.

She often said that Dan would marry her some time. He treated her brutally, however. Ofteu he would slap hoi face or knock her down with a blow of his brawny fist because she was a little slow in oboyiug commands ho might give hor. A weok ago ho camo home In toxicated and attempted to lake liberties with the girl. Sho resisted and a struggle ensued, many the girl escaped irom ttio room aud ran downstairs into the street.

Dan followed her with an open razor In his hand. Sho dashod into tho hallway of 741, a few doors abovo, and there fell down in a fainting fit. Old Sheridan, who had been visiting frionds In that house, chanced to be coming through tho hall Just as his son rushed in aftor tho girl. Tho old man sprang at him as ho rushed toward the senseless woman. A torriblo strugglo ensued hetweon tho men, but finally the father was victorious aud for that time the girl's lifo was spared.

After that people advised her to leave the houso, but she said that sho had no place to go and preferred to die, anyhow, If sho could not induco Dan to marry her. Dan has never been known to bo sober of an ovoning, but on Friday night ho was moro Intoxicated than he had ever been boforo. He got homo about midnight. Lilian, with his father and mother, was sitting up waiting for him As soon as ho entered ttio room, aud dosplte the presence of his parents, ho bogan to maltreat tho girl. She remained passive until his actions became too offensive and then sho sprang to a win dow in the west side of the house, overlooking a two story shod of tho Quiutard Iron Works.

"Dan, if you do not respect mo I'll kill mysolf, sho said, looking pale but determined. Her action only mado the young man furious. you," he shouted, "I'll save you tho trouble. I'll kill you mysolf." As ho spoko ho seized an ax and started toward tho girl. Without moment's hesitation she threw up tho window and Jumped out.

Hardly had she done so when tho ax, thrown by Dan, struck tho wall Just about whore sho had boon standing. Sheridan ran to the window aud as rapidly as he could ho throw the ax, chairs, dishes and every missile he could lay hands on down at the girl, who lay unconscious on tho roof ot tho shod, forty foet below. On account of tho darkness ne could not see hor and sh was not struck. People on tho ocond floor, tho windows of which aro about on 0. line with the shed root, climbed out and dragged tho girl Into their apartments.

Meanwhile old Sheridan went into tho street and meeting Officer Calvin, of tho Union Market Police Station, told him that Danny was a littlo wild wid the drink and asked to havo him arrested. Tho officer did so and in tho Essex Markot Poliea Curt yesterday morning Dan was sont to the island for throe mouths as an habitual drunkard. An effort was mado to suppress tho fact of the girl's injuries, but ye3torday afternoon she became so 111 thai it was foarod sho was (lying, and then the people in tho houso went to tho Union Markot Station and Informed Sergeant Little of her dangerous condition and how Bho camo by hor injurlos. Ho had hor sent to Bellevue Hospitnl, where It was found that her right side was paralyzed and will be so whiie she lives. At tho hospital tho doctors do not think sho will survive.

Sho Is only 22 years old and very handsome. Not a thing about hor antecedents could be learned. Sergeant Little will send a request to the magistrate at Essex Market Cours this morning asking to havo Sheridan brought back and tried for tbo more sorious offonse of fellonous assault with intent to kill.

of More Opposition to the Proposed Bridge Extension. Colonel Owings Sharply Criticises the Course of Ex Mayor Howell Messrs. Wechsler Abraham Do Not Relieve in Increasing Taxes for Sentimental Purposes. The old fight on the bridge extension in its new phase is up again and both sides aro as earnestly engaged and as bitterly arrayed against each other as ovor boforo in tho history of tho structure. Those who oppose it say they are as consistently against It as ever they were, but that for some reason some who opposed its extension boforo favor It now, and tho most notable dosertor from their ranks is President Howell, of the Bridge Trustees.

Colonel Otvlngs, chsfrmaln of the Executive Committee of the Brooklyn Citizens' and Property Owners' Association, said to an Eagle roportor: "This proposition of President Howell Is not a. now thing, and the citizens have so frequently mot it and defeated It in other forms that I wonder tho president of the Bridge Board has the assurance to attempt to carry it out. Fivo years ago the question of cutting Flatbush avenuo through to the bridge came up, aud tho project was championed by no loss men than ox Mayor Seth Low and Thomas Kinsella. Thoy were defeated after a sharp fight in the Legislature by Hugh McLaughlin, William C. Kiugsloy, Senator Pierce, William Marshall aud myself.

Tho thing canto up again two yours later when William Borri, Albert Daggett and ox Low marshaled their forcos agaiu and attempted to procure authority from tho Legislaturo to carry tho bridgo to tho City Hall. They wero defeated by McLaughlin and Howell after a hard and bitter fight and wero routod, although tho bill had passed to a second read lug In tho Senate. But these defeats were not sufficient to convince tho ambitious gentlemen that tho people were really in earnest in desiring to protect tho City Hall Park. A Bridge Extension bill came at us again under tiio pretonso of providing Btorago room for the cars. It was on examination tp contain no limitation clauses 03 to tho distance tho bridgo was to bo extondod.

Ex Mayor Howell, who had fought against tho exten sion so strongly in tho past, was now Just as strongly in favor of it. Senator Griswold was appealed to for tho insertion ot a clauso fixing a limit. It was agrood by the oxtension support era that they would stop at Concord streor, but it was found thoy had fixed it so that ihey wont thirtj' two feet beyond and would take out. tho side of tho Brooklyn Institute. They refusod to change this at tho requost of tho citizens, represented by Goneral Woodford, Jesso Johnson and William Wallace, but wero defoated.

Tho feeling of tho committee was thai: tho extension could stop at Nassau street so far as storage was concerned, for thoy had enough room to make a continuous lino from the bridge, but Dikenian said if tho extension was allowod to Concord street that would bo the last ot it, aud tho committed agreed to it. In this connection Jesse Johnson said these geutlemon want longitudinal storage room on au inclined plane, for when thoy cross Nassau street thoy aro only six foot above the grade. At High street they tore tho top off a big truck the other day. They can turn toward Fulton street at one third the expense. That somo are not satisfied is proved by Mr.

Howoll, who says: Wo shall apply to tho incoming Legislature for power. If tho Bridgo Trustees don't move In tho matter, and 1 havj no authority for saylngwhat they will do, I shall makj application myself; I guess I am abl for thai. Wo are sending out circulars by the thousand, and are in the fight to stay. By remaining at Nassau street they could better conuoct with tho olovatod roads and have thoir platforms and a plaza extending to Nassau streot and making a fine approach. Sevoral linos of cars turn into Washington streot now making a natural surface approach to tho bridgo.

If tho Bridgo Trustees should get the extension to tho City Hall and take property as they have taken it to Concord streot, it wil cost They paid Dodd a Express Company for their property $95,000. It was assessed at It would cost $8,000,000, and thoy would have but ono tenth the room at City Hall Squaro that they have now for working the cars." Mr. A. Abraham, of Wechsler Abraham, said yesterday on the question of bridgo oxtonsion: "In a business sense Itiis a matter of indifference to us whore the bridgo We aro Just as well off where it ends at Coucord street as we would be if it came up to the IlalL A further extension would, of course, increase our taxation, which is already largo enough. Whatover bonolUs tho public helps us, and wo aro agreed to it.

It will not do to extend the bridgo and increase taxation for a mere maiter of sentiment, and wo do not betiove In extension Deyond Coucord street unless tho engiueors can show that such an oxtonsion is noc essary for bridgo traffic, and only favor tho extension to tho City Hall if it is shown by tho ongineors that such a course is uoeossary for traffic purposes." Mr. Wechsler agreed entirely with his partner. Tho following additional names havo been roceived by the association of persons opposod to tho bridge extension: William 11. Hall, SS3 Union street; A.

Pay Inspector Stevenson examined the witness about as follows: "Did you say I sent a messenger to you with an account of "I did." "Was I In the habit of sending messengers to you for auy purpose?" "You sent Mr. Garvey to me on that occasion." "Did you meot Commander Whiting In Now Y'ork yesterday afternoon and tell him you would like to testify in this case?" "I did, sir." "Did you also tell him you knew a man who would havo boon willing to pay $800 apiece for tnoso Doners "I did." "Did you toll him also thnt the man you had reference to had Just got out of Jail "No, sir; 1 said he was under a cloud." Have I not frequently reported you while you wore in the department for drunkenness, inefficiency and absence without leave 7" Y'ou have done so once that I remember." Did you ever tell Boatswain Anderson that If he did not 'divvy on certain materials in his charge you would blow on Emphatically, no." Do you come here to testify in the interest of or influenced by Tim Campbell, or by auy member or members of the contracting firms with which ho is related Objection to this quesllou was mado by Judge Advocate Lemly, but on tho explanation by the pay lnspoctor that his object was simply to show the motive of tho witness he was allowed to proceod. "Havo you ever," askod Air. Stovennon, "hold any consultation with Donovan Co. on this subject?" "No, sir; I have never spokon about it or about you In couuoction with the matter to Tim Campbell, Donovan Co.

or auy of tho persons you refer to." "Very well; that is all." The examination of Archibald Fulton, receiving clerk in the yard, brought out nothing of interest in connection with the matter under investigation. Carpenter Peter Ward told tbo Court that ho had beon on duty Soptomber 2 watching loads ot material that had been sold at the auction sale of August 30. He had demanded passos from all the teamstors he met. He left his post in charge of another watcher and when ho came back askod for the passes, but had been told that uono bad been collected. Witness was placed on other duty tho next day by order of Pay Inspector Stevenson.

Tho pay inspector had come to him at the dock and said he had made a mistake and assigned him to another man's duty. Witness described the passes he had received and declared they ware not such as were required at all, but lacked signatures of the proper officers, and in fact all that would render them of valuo as safeguards, which they were intended to be. Pay Inspector Stevenson took up tho inquisition of the witness and asked: "Do you not know that tho pajiers you have described as passed were not passed at all, hut merely memoranda, and that you are creating a false impression in regard to them by the misrepresentation 7" "No, sir." Do you not know that these memoranda havo nothing to do with permitting or prohibiting articles from leaving the yard No, sir." Do you not know that you cannot pa3s articles out of the yanl without tho signature of the cap lain to the pass?" "I don't believe 1 can, but I know commissioned officers and others who can." Did you know that I bad applied for your detachment Ironi my department on tho grouud of utter worthlessuess before the date of the occurrence you havo detailod 7" No, sir." "Have you ever boon investigated while in tho Department in reference to matters affecting vour reputation for honesty? Do you remember "anything about rat traps Havo you not been caught at tho gate of the yard going out with Government property uuder your arm?" Tho Court interposed at this point and Instructed the witness that he might answer these questions or not, as he pleased. I will answer them," replied Mr. Ward.

I do know something about rat traps or, rather, a rat trap. That was an indiscretion of mine nothing wrong about it; I aakeU to havo an iuvestiiatlou of charges that were made and it was refused, and that onded it." At this point tho court adiournod. and Mr. Ward passed out looking daggers at Mr. Stevenson.

A letter was sent to the Court bv the nav insDeotor. in which he offers to tostlfy. He was informed that he would not bo called until all tho witnesses wero examined. OBESITY YKKSUS LEAXXESS.
