Frederika Borman, who was removed to the Flatbush county hospital some two weeks ago, died in that institution day berore yesterday. The woman was 53 years old. Her daughter, Amelia Borman, aged 30, is now in the Flat bush asylum. Some months ago Amelia Borman, who lived with her mothor at 345 DeKalb avenue, began to show signs of insanity. Sne and her mother were in poor circumstances and were compelled to work hard for a scanty living.

The charities commissioners examinod the younger woman and deelnred her to be insane. At the request of her mother, she was taken to the county asyium. About two weeks ago Mrs. Borman, on whose mind the fate of her daughter preyed, beonme demented and was taken to the hospital in an enfeebled condition. MUS.

SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. For the Nassau Electric Railroad Company Franchise, BUT HE THINKS IT IS ILLEGAL TO DO 80.. The Claim Is Bade That Since the Repeal of the Cantor Act Ns Money Palo for a Franchise Could Be Received by the City The Contract All Ready to Be SIzned. Mayor Boody will not take any action in ths railroad franchise question until after the next meeting of the common council. Mr.

P. H. Flynn had quite an interview with the mayor yesterday, but her would not state what passed between them in relation to the Nassau Railroad' company's affairs. An Eaole reporter was told this morning that tho capitalists who are Interested in ths new railroad company are willing to enter into competition with the Brooklyn City or any other railroad and bid for the franchise, but they deny that under the existing laws there la any city department or official to whom the money could be logally paid or any legal use, to which it could be put. The claim they make la that sinco the repeal of the Cantor aotj in its relation to Brooklyn the money paid for a railroad franchise could not be received.

It was also said, though Mr. Flynn refused to verify it, that his visit to Mr. Boody was in connection with the question of putting up the' franchise to be bid for, or tho receiving at this date a bid from tho Nassau company, with th understanding that the money received from, the successful railroad for the franchises might be held by the city treasurer until tha legislature could bo called upon to legalize the expenditure of the money by permitting it to be placed' in some one of the numerous city accounts, or by creating an account for it. The contract for building the Nassau railroad is ready to be signed as soon as the franchises, are perfected, and they call for the beginning of the work on some 8outh Brooklyn sec tions of tho railroad within ten days after tbe mayor's signature is affixed to the or tho board of aldermen override his veto. There has been so much delay in the common council in reporting application of the, Brighton Beach railroad to extend its terminal' so as to connect wltn the Kings County elevatedj" railroad, that the officials of that company are somewhat discouraged.

During the last few weeks and in tho face of bear influences the stock of the Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad company has gone up! about ten points, and is now quoted at 8180: and 8185 a share. The cause of this rise, when there are railroads to be built whioh will come into active competition with its existing system and when there is adverse legislation projected, is difficult to determine. The dealing in the1 stock has been very lively. Don't Experiment "With Yonr Silver. Elxctbo Silicon Is the only reliable aurer poUah.

THE CLUB FAIR GEAED CENTRAL PALACE, FOURTH STREET, NEW YOBKf DO YOU EXHIBIT Novel Pcriormanti on tlic Roof of a Trolley Car. A trolley mishap on Fulton street nt noon today gave a young man a clianco to distinguish himself in tho eyes of an admiring crowd.

Just as DeKalb avenue car No. 201 reached tho corner of Willou and Fulton streets on a down trip tho troiiey slipped off tho wire and scraped along the wooden guards. There was a shower of sparks ns if from a skyrocket, nnd before the conductor could right matters tho wheel was burned off and dropped into the street. Short projections on oaeli side were all that was left of the socket which held the wheel. A young man with brown trousers, a light overcoat and der.iy hat, who had been riding on the back platform of tho car.

took in the situation at a glance, and grasping tho edge of tho roof over the platform swung himself up on top of the car. Several men in the crowd which had collected yolled at him to be careful, and policeman told him to come down. Tho young man paid no hood to the cries, however, and seized hold of the trolley polo with both hands, pressing tho broken end against the wire. The conductor gave the signal to go ahead, and ns tho car started streak of blue flamo shot up und the pole slipped off the wiro. The maneuver was ropcated several times, the car getting along a few feet at each attempt.

At last tho young man got tho broken end adjusted to suit him and the car went merrily down Fulton street, with a wickod looking blue flamo following nlong tho wire overhead. Tho young man's derby hat touched tbe trolley wire on several occasions, but he did not seem to think that ho was in any danger whatever. A crowd on the street followed the car all the way to the bridge, and at intervals shouted instructions at the man on the roof. When the young man climbed down from the top of the car he doclined to give his name and walked off as if he was used to doing that kind of thing every day. Car No.

An Episode of the Trial of One of the Men Accused of Murdering Eckels, a Letter Carrier. The rolice Saw Nothing or the Flash of Steel, However. There was something of a scene in tho court of oyer nnd terminer last night when Angelo Santori was found guilty of murder in the see on degree for complicity in the killing of Peter J. Eckels, tho letter carrier, on board the ferryboat Dakota. Tho jury camo in at 9:30 after a deliberation of three hours.

During tho trial of Santori his mother and sister have boen constant attendants in the court room. When the verdict was announced both women fainted. When the consequent commotion had subsided, oue of the spectators present informed a court officer that when tho prisoner's mothor staggered forward he saw the glitter of a knife in hor hand. When this was made known tho women had revived and been taken from tho room. None of the other spectators or police ofllcors had seen any weapon in the woman's hand.

It was evident from the rapidity with which the sorgeant and two patrolmen removed Santori to the jail, aftsr the return of the verdict, that they were bound to allow no opportunity to the many Italians present to oven attempt rescue or to arm Santori himself. This morning Miehaol Cassello, another niem bor of tho company of seven, charged with killing Eckels, was placed on trial. Although indicted for murder in the first degree Assistant District Attorney Clark said he would not ask for a conviction higher than that found against Santori. Since the return of the verdict last night interest in tho cases seems to have increased. A goodly number of the city's police officers are now in attendance to preserve order and prevent any outbreak.

SERVIA'S COUP D'ETAT. Young King Alexander I Assumes the Royal Power. The Resents and Ministers llcposed With the Aid of the Army and tho Young Monarch Decrees His Mnjority A Skillful Stroke Carried Out Under Cover of a Banquet He is Only 17 Years Old. Belgrade, April 14. A bloodless coup d'etat was effected here last night and King Alexan der tho youthful ruler of Servia, who has heretofore governed the country through regents, to day rules in his own name.

A frnrnd. banquet was given nt the palace last night to celebrate King Alexander's success in passing the examination prescribed for Servian stu dents. M. Uistics anu General Belimarkovic, tho rogents, and all the ministers of state were present, as were also a largo number of the friends and supporters of the regents. For many months past tho situation in Sorvia has been critical, owing to the abuse of their power by the regents and state officials.

Affairs had become so bad that the king determined to take the reins in own hands. In accordance with this determination plans were secretly laid by means of which the regents and tho ministry would be ousted without opportunity for opposition. Unsuspectingly the regents and ministers attended the banquet, and, while they wero enjoying themselves at the palaco, detachments of soldiers and bodies of police took possession of the ministers' houses and occupied the government buildings. At midnight, while tho festivities wero still in progress, King Alexander proclaimed that ho had attained his majority and that he had assumed with the skuptshina (the Servian legislature) tho government of tho country. As a matter of fact the king had not attained his majority.

According to the Servian law he does not become of age until he is 18 years old, and as he was born August 14, IH1G, he will not be eighteen for some months. When tho deposed regents and ministers heard the proclamation they wero dumfounded. Tho king and his advisers acted with great promptitude, and soldiers, who wero in waiting, at once placed the regents and ministers under arrrest and they were sent to rooms which had boen prepared for them in the palace, where they aro under guard. Tho Servian army is loyal to the king. Had it not been tho coup etat would not have been possible.

After the issuing of the proclamation and long before daybreak tho king proceeded to tho barracks, where the troops wero under arms, and was received with joyous acclamations and many expressions of loyalty. Tho proclamation, which will be issued everywhere in the country to day, bears the king's signature. In it Alexander declares that the constitution has iuen lately in soro jeopardy, the rights of citizens imperilled and the constitutional position of parliament so abased that the king must end tho unhappy condition of affairs. He therefore declares that he hn3 come of ago and has assumed kingly power. Henceforth, the proclamation adds, the Servian constitution acquires lull significance.

The rogents have been deposed, tho cabinet dismissed and a now ministry appointed. 31. Dokitch is the new prime minister. MAGGIE I.KT OFF EAST. 3Iaggie Brown, who last Saturday nisht stole three wraps and some ribbou from H.

The New York Commission Has Had a Hard Time GrttiDg Its Exhibits and Its Exhibitors Located, and It Is tirotesque Observe the Efforts of the Manifest Desire to Keep Oftlclais From the Vnrions States in Ignorance ns to What is lteinR Received nn tlie Grounds. As to the Opening of the air The. Crowds Will BeRin to Throng Jnekon Park In June. Spe'lnl to the Enprle.

Chicaoo, 111.. April 11 A mind reader, with the ability to mentally penetrate pine cases and tnor; or less pakini; material, would have a better i linnee tliau any one else in Chicago at this hour to fathom the mystery of who is go ini; to exhil.it at the fair. There are lists of exhibitors, but somehow they do not agreo, and Borne applications lor space have been declined, on'! nt checked. Moreover, the vrhoio subject of list is a grave and mysterious on" amonthe officials. The Now York commission has had a hard time ettiu from the department chiefs anil particulars about the exhibitors.

Tho particulars they have got are nut so particular as they mi ht be. It sc. 'ins to be a crime for even the officials ri particular states to want to know what is comincr from their states. There is a parallel in tho rotcscjue anxiety of the foreign commissioners who are kept in the liveliest ignorance as to the special character of the exhibits from their own countries, and who plaintively uppeal to the foreign committee of tho fair management ior the interesting in matioii There are several causes for tho obscurity of information. One is the complexity of the departmental organization.

Tho red tape is very red and very long. Another is the zealous determination of each department to retain its Integrity at whatever cost. A. third, and perhaps the most distressing, is the contract for the official catalogue. Tho contract for the official catalogue of the fair, a volume which it is innocently expected by some people will actually be ready for publication on May 1, has been awarded to a certain Chicago company.

For the privilege of being the publishers and sellers of the official catalogue this company has paid the fair the comfortable sum of 5100,000. Opinions vary as to how much the enterprising company will loose on the speculation, but the lowest estlmnto I received from inside offleial sources was 550,000. A company that is likely to lose 550.000 ou a contract of this kind would like, I suppose, and perhaps deserves, the fun of monopolizing world's fair wisdom for a few weeks. No class of objects designed for exhibition has been wholly superior to the difficulty of Written lists, but the paintings, for instance, are accompanied by a full description on each case. Brooklyn artists are creditably represented if wo may believe the reports and the lists.

The cases are still unopened. I read on these cases the names of William Hamilton (Gibson, M. F. H. de Haas, Joseph H.

Boston, Clark Crum and other well known Brooklyn men. Brooklyn is much more fully represented in the various departments of the fair than might appear from the examination of tho imperfect lists to be found anywhere to day, for the reason that many Brooklyn manufacturing establishments sending goods and men directly from Brooklyn, are entered by their office address in New York. This of course applies to publishing establishments like D. Appleton Co. and A.

S. Barnes Co. with large factories in Brooklyn. nna it applies to many industries which Brook lyn people regard as entirely their own The 1 entry ot New York addresses is thus confusing to the searcher for information. Among those who will be registered in the manufacturers' department as from the citvof Brooklyn are the 11 gene Kulinski company, wrought iron goods, I'lxy feet; American Loop Fabric company, blankets and shawls.

10x2.6; Thomson Sleter company, water meters, 10x8.3; National Meter company, water meters, '20x10; Wilson Bohannon, padlocks, 6x10; Loronz Bommer, hinges, tixl2: John C. Gardner, children's shoes, Salvatore, shoes and specialties, Arnold Locke, stained glass, 6x6)4 Kichardson A Boyn ton company, furnaces and hot water heaters, 15xlU: Sirnoiuls Manufacturing company (Long Island City furnaces, Xxs. The accessible lists of the mines and mining exhibitors do not contain address s. but 'your correspondent lluds here tho Brooklyn Alum nium company, which makes a display of alum nium. Here are some of tho exhibitors in the department of liberal arts: Pratt institute, art teaching apparatus uud models Young Smylie, South Filth street, pharmacology drugs, pharmacy; Christadolphiun society.

Canton street, spreading knowledge of religious systems; William Gray, photographic apparatus: Louis Alexander, Fulton street, optical instruments; Hohman Maurer Manuia turiug company, optica instruments, Charles E. Holies, photographic apparatus: Gcoro M. 3ddy weights and measures: Bernhard Sohoil, Flushing avenue, literature. In the transportation department is noted the names of a few Brooklyn exhibitors, but the lists are still in a muddle, without addresses, and there nro undoubtedly many manufacturers not yet on the slate lists. Brooklyn exhibitors aro prominent in the charily organizations department.

Among the names now at hand aro those of Mrs. C. fi. Van Vaynes.who sends six charts; the Orphan Asylum society, Irene H. Covington, Mrs.

Baird "and Carl Olson iLong Island City Brooklyuites and Long Islanders who will be represented la the interesting horticultural 1 snow include G. L. ityckman, who sends dry White and red wines; Mrs. Miuvina A. who sends three jars of fruit: W.

C. Kriok of Broadway, llorists, immortelles, letters and designs; Parsons fc Sons, Flushing, evergreens, trees, shrubs, etc. In the electricity building Brooklyn will be well represented. Among the exhibits now getting into place are those of Gilmer Crowed of Graham street, who sends a pressure blower: the Eicker Electric Motor company of York street, which sends several dynamo motors, etc, occupying 280 square feet, and the Empire China works, which nas a large exhibit of hard porcelain electrical supplies. In the agricultural exhibit is found a display of canned soups, by Henry Humbert Co.

and N. A. Eggleston of Sag Harbor has his label on some interesting agricultural implements. An exhibit of the same order is placed by D. S.

Morgan fe Co. Parrot Co. have a lightning eradicator. Milk is to be the leature of the display by Dr. Joseph K.

Shiodovian and lubricating compounds are sent by the William Miller company. Henry Humbert Co. aru sending calf's foot jelly. Everybody is asking: Will tho fair open on May 1 The fair opens on Muy 1 it must do so by law. At the rate with which work is now being pushed the fair in general Will be in readiness to open when the day comes.

There are delayed exhibits, and there is much of detail that cannot in the nature of things be expected to be just where it shouid be on opening day. But the management is very coutident about May 1. Nevertheless, 1 lancy that most people will prefer June to May as a mouth lor sight seeing in Jackson park. l'LSXGy WAS GOI.Ni; T. CHICAGO.

This morning in the Tombs police court three men upon whom portions of tho stolon property had been found wero ar ralgned and their a nlnation sot down for next Tuesday. They are held only on a short affidavit, charging tliem with having stolen property in their posses ion.

The roal culprits concerned in tho robbery, it is thought, are still nt large. Edward O'Brien, one of tho men under arrest, is the keeper of a sa oon at 231 East Twenty ninth street. On Mnr li 17 tie advertised to hold a raffle of a gold watch for the benefit of the widow of K. W. Wilson, whOBO death is said to have occurred in llelievuo hospital in February.

On the next day Detectives McCaffcrty and Kchinson of the central office looked at the watch and found it to be one of tho missing cases. O'Brien was placed under arrest and. as he said he hud roeeivod it from Owen Harney, an amateur middleweight I oxer of the I'astime athletic club, Harney was arrested also. Both were liberated on bail a day or two afterward. Harney claimed to hove received half a dozen cases irom a William McCarthy, engineer at the house.

He was arrested yesterday. McCarthy in turn declares that "he received the cases from a James Conlin, for whom the detectives are now looking. Tho eases wero stolen from the depot of tho Long Island railroad in Long Is nnd City during tho night of November SI. while in the" oustodyof the Long Isinnd Express company. The robbery occurred about same time as several big robberies of other express companies, and it was thought that an organized gang was at work.

MRS. DUBOIS ARRESTED, Charged "With an Attempt Poison. Three Children. to She Is a Wealthy Widow Who Lives in Sea Cliff and til Complainant is a Poor Woman Whom She Had Befriended and Who Is Thought to He Mentally Unbalanced. A sensation was created in Sea Cliff to day, when it became generally known that Mrs.

Martha H. Dubois, a wealthy widow and one of the largest property owners of the village, had been arrested, together with her lti year old granddaughter. Miss Lillian Treadwell, by Detective Owen J. Kavanagh. who took them on the 6 o'clock train to tho Hunter's Point police station, in Long Island City.

Mrs. Dubois, who is 5" years old, is known among her neighbors as a charitable woman, and when Dote dive Kavanagh arrived at the house and announced his mission Mrs. Dubois was spellbound. The detective read two warrants issued by Justice Daniel Noble of Long Island City, charging Mrs. Dubois nnd her granddaughter with willfully poisoning food.

Tho warrants did not specify who the complainant was and, with great reluctance and amid protestations, Mrs. Du: bois and her granddaughter, accompanied by her son in law, John H. Doncourt. and several friends took the train with the detective to Long Island City. When the party reached th Hunter's Point police station and the records of the widow and her granddaughter were taken by Sergeant Dunn, the name of the complainant was still a mystery and it remained such until 10 o'clock last night, when Justice Noble, who had been summoned to release the prisoners on bail, arrived and Informed Mrs.

Dubois and her granddaughter that they wero separately charged by Mrs. Margaret Cooney of Sea Cliff, with attempting on July 11 last to poison her three children. Tho justice Informed Mrs. Dubois that he had issued the warrants at tne instigation of Mrs. Cooney, who had called upon him in the morning and told him a startling story of an attempt to poison ner children.

She said she could not obtain any justice in Sea Cliff. The justice said that as the woman appeared rational he had issued the warrants. She told him that or. July 11 last, after her children had drunk from a pot of oof fee given to her by Mrs. Dubois, one of thorn was taken ill, and as It showed symptoms of poisoning, she took a sample of the coffee to Bellevue hospital, where tho doctors, after analyzing it, had told her that it contained enough Paris green to kill twenty people.

At tho conclusion of the justice's story Mrs. Dubois said that she and her granddaughter were the victims of a most unwarranted outrage perpetrated by an insane woman whom she had befriended and sheltered. Mrs. Dubois then told tho justice that Mrs. Cooney 's husband had become demented from drink and after he wus sent to tho lunatic asylum she took pity ou Mrs.

Cooney and her children and had a part of her barn fitted up for them to live in; that she frequently provided them with food until lost fall, wuen she was forced to dis possess the woman on account of her manner living. Sinco then Mrs. Dubois said Mrs. Cooney, whose mental condition was known to bo unsound, had applied to Justice Crandall of Sea Cliff, on no loss than three occasions for warrants for her ar rest, but had been refused. She said that the poor woman had also charged her with stoaling her diamond earrings, val i ued at 5300.

and had frequently told people that she was going to bring suit against her for 515,000 for attempting to poison her children. Justice Noble held Mrs. Dubois and her granddaughter in 52.000 bonds for ex nmination on April 22. Ex Mayor Gleason be came suretv. A FIGHT OX THE BRIDGE.

Mcssr. Dunn and iIcCrty Had tbe Worst of TIG 3. There was a short, sharp fight on tho bridge this morning and James Dunn and Thomas McCarty had the worst of it. Tho other combatants wore Ellis H. Koberts, Isaac Samuels and Mark Samuels, who were driving across the bridge and attending strictly to their own business.

Dunn and McCarty poked fun at them and Ellis, Isaac and Murk climbed down from their wagon ami smote them. A bridge policeman arrested the quintet and the men were arraigned before Justice Walsh on a charge of ilghtinc. There was really no reason for the infliction of any penalty, tho judge thought, for Dunn nnd McCarty had been sufficiently punished and the other throe had been sorely provoked. The prisoners were, therefore, discharged. TMET CAUGHT THF.

Charles and James Boady, father and son, masons, and both living at 1121 East One Hundredth street, New York, were at work on a building on Sands street, near Pearl, yesterday, when a number of small boys began annoying them by throwing stones into tho house. The jloadys chased thoir tormentors and caught Kobert Ford, aged 10 years, of 3 Navy street. They both assaulted the boy, threw him duwn and attempted to choke him. Mrs.

With Which McCarty Would Daub the City Hall and Court House. OFFICIALS WOULD REACDIT TIIEIR OWN WORK. The Difference Between thn P.lll hr n.v ernor Flower and thn Tvro Just Introduced nt Albany is That the First Legalized Directly All the Columbian Expenditures, but Permitted Actions to Be I'rouRht on Unjust Claims, While the "Auditing Commission" Scheme Allows City nnd County Servants Who Passed Favorably on the Bills Finally to Dispose or Them its They See Fit What Mr. Gaynur nnd the Mayor Say. There is a deal of thinking going on about town to day in connection with the bills introduced at the Albany legislature yesterday, and which are said to meet tho approval of Governor Flower, constituting commissions of audit upon the city anil county Columbian expenditures and making legal whatever claims elie commis sioners decido to be just.

There is a marked division of opinion upon these bills. Friendof officials who wero indicted for connection with the Columbian expenditures are unanimous in praise of the measures which they declare should be made law in simple justice to the public officers who acted in the promises as they believed in accordance with the demands of public sentiment. It is noteworthy that these men were loud in condemnation of Governor Flower's veto of the original Columbian bill. On tho other hand the opinion i expressed by many persons that a sorry botch is being made of the whole matter just to savo a few men from financial liability in connection with tho expenditures. It wore better, those critics say, to let tho matter stand In just the position it assumed after the governor's veto, at least until tho indictments shall have been tried.

Then if it should appear that innocent men were in a way to be made to suffer loss a legislative measure might readily be secured to save them. Tho aid 01 a legal officer of the city was invoked by an Eaole reporter this morning for a definition of difference between the bills vetoed by Governor Flower and the new ones. In reply the statement was made that the first bill legalized directly all the Columbinn expenditures, but permitted actions to bo brought on all the claims that wero unjust and inequitablo. Tho present bills provide for auditing commissions whose decision as to the amounts to bo allowed shall be final, and that proceedings shall be taken to recover tho expenditures paid which shall not bo allowed. The mayor, controller und city auditor aro to constitute tho commission to audit in the matter of the city's Columbian bills, and the mayor, supervisor at largo and county treasurer the commission on the county bills.

Supervisor nt Large Georgo Kinkel was not disposed to communicate an opinion on the proposed legislation this morning. Ho vouchsafed the suggestion, however, that if his advice had boen followed when the Columbian expenditure first came before him officially all the troublo might have been Mr. Kinkel nt that time pointed out to the Columbian committee of the supervisors and to the contractors the fact that only fair charges would be allowed and wanted all the parties concerned to agree on proper figures, but the advice was not heeded, and his vetoes upon the bills followed. It is certain that if Kinkel's views have weight in the auditing commission tho bills will be slaughtered. Some comment is being passed upon the fact that tho county auditor has not been named as a member of the commission.

William J. Gaynor upon being asked whether in his opinion the new Columbian measures if passed would affect the ponding Indictments against the city and county officials said: 'Yes. indirectly, thoy will be killed as dead as a door nail. Think of the officials who have already audited and paid the fraudulent bills being chosen to reaudit them. Of course they will reaudit them just as they are.

Do you suppose that any jury will convict on bills thus reaudited as correct? I can scarcely believe that Governor Flower has succumbed or been caught, for the Scripture says: 'In vain is the not spread in the sight of any bird." Three proposed bills wero drawn and submitted to Governor Flower: One for tho auditor to reaudit, one for the mayor, controller and auditor to reaudit and one for the mayor to appoint three citizens to pass upon the bills. My information was that the governor refused to yield. If he has yielded I um not informed of it." Mayor Boody said: "The bill was the suggestion of Governor Flower. I did not know it was to be presented until a short time before it was sent in. I understand that the governor made the suggestion and the senators acted upon it at once.

Mr. Greenwood and Corporation Counsel Jenks were in Albany. The general informed them that he should have to consult me before he could oonsent to tho introduction of the bill. Ho came down yesterday and I said I had no objection. Personally, I can say I have no special feeling about the matter.

If it seems to bo a wise thing, and tho commission is appointed, 1 shall servo upon it and do my duty as faithfully as I can." FITZSIMMONS 31 OUST. Mr. John T. Fitzsimmons, brother of Dr. J.

Desperate Effort of the Opponents or the Measure to Kill It With Amendments Alnsworth's Motion to Repeal the Ives Law The Two Columbian Day Expense Bills Introduced Yesterday Passed the Lower House To day, nnd Arc Made a Special Order in the Senate for Monday Xight Xot Much nope for Byrnes' Hill Taking Steam From Atlantic Avenue. Tli3 Condition of the Various Lucal Measures in the Two Houses. Special to the Eagle. Albany, N. April 14 What threatened to be the stormiest legislative day of tho session bokf when Sulzer's gavel fell alter tho chaplain's prayer this morning.

Charges of coalition bargains and alliances were flying through th chamber thick and fast, multiplying as they flew and warming up the tempers of the most sluggish statesman in the house. Just what would Hhppon nobody could surmise until the special order programme by the committee on rules had been read by the clerk. It was then discovered that the committee had given first place to Leader Quigley's bill legalizing expenditures by Brooklyn in connection with the celebration of Memorial day. Such expenditures have been made before without authority of law and in deference to Mayor Boody's scruples legislative authority was sought. Not far down the special calendar came the anti pool room bill.

To its presence there was duo nearly all the rumors which charged the chamber with suppressed excitement and made it clear that a battle royal was impending. The members entered in a body. They name fresh from a caucus chamber and looked ns though they haa something on thoir minds. The anti pool room bill had engaged their attention for half an hour, nnd though they had dispensed with the formality of a vote upon it, there was a tacit understanding that they should take the moral side of the question nnd contribute as far as possible to the passage of the bill. It didn't take the house long to settle down to business.

The Memorial day expenditure bill was passed without friction. It would have gone through with flying colors last night but for unaccountable objections raised by assemblymen Dietsch nnd Shields. It took about ten minutes more to pass the bill permitting savings banks to invest in bonds of cities not in this state. Then came, on motion of Loader Quigley, a close call of the house. There have been calls, but not close calls this session.

When it was suspended there were few absentees. As soon as the Saxton anti pool bill was called up Kice of New York moved to amend by wiping out the Ives' pool bill, the effect of which would be to make betting on races illegal, not only in pool rooms, but upon race tracks. Dry Dollar Sullivan hoped the amendment would prevail, because it struck at tho root of the disease. He added: moralists who are on the level will vote for this amendment because it will stop all gambling." Leader Quigley This amendment is not offered in good faith and it comes with bad grace from Mr. Sullivan to advocate it.

He desires to kill the bill and we do not propose to be deceived by it I know that men have been ruined and women and children left homeless by the great pool room evil. In the interests of our state, our schools, our homes and firesides, our mothers and our wives, I am in favor of the best we can get. Let us remove this insidious evil. Ellison of New York declared that the object of the amendment was to handicap the bill. Dry Dollar Sullivan Don't you know that there isn't a pool room open in New York and that there won't be one whether this bill becomes a law or not? Mr Ellison I am not an anthorlty on that point, but I know that tho pool rooms can violate laws which cannot be violated on race tracks and tl is why some people are willing to wipe out the Ives pool bill.

Vigorous speeches in support of the bill were made by Malby Fish and Amsworth, all Republicans. Mr. Ainsworth turned to the journal of 18S7 and showed that Sullivan had voted for the bill he now pretended to be anxious to repeal. Mr. Sullivan Will the gentlemnn give way a moment? Ainsworth consenting.

Now, Sir. Speaker, everybody has a chance to reform. Laughter. I was young and unsophisticated then and I didn't know what I was doing. This is the first chance I have had to redeem that great wrong and I am doing it.

From that time on the discussion was somewhat ponderous, with only an occasional streak of animation. Sullivan charged Quigley with having a good deal to say, and told the story of a parrot which from its perch enjoyed the amusement of shouting "Sic 'em" to a dog. In an unfortunate moment the parrot stepped to tho floor and repeated tho command, which was so effectively obeyed by the dog that it lost a wing. "The trouble with me." mournfully moaned the melancholy bird, "is that I talk too much," and that, protested Sullivan, is what's the matter with some members of this house. The amendment was beaten by a vote of 95 to 25, and Mr.

Quigley moved that the bill be read for the third time. Mr. Hennessy of Kings said he had always favored the closing of the pool rooms, and if the officials of New York had done their duty, like the officials of Brooklyn had done, no pool rooms would have romained open. He did not favor the repeal of the Ives pool law like the leader of the Democratic majority, Mr. Quigley, or the leader of the Republican minority, Mr.

Ainsworth. Racing, ho held, was a necessity and speculation would exiBt without it. He was sorry, however, to see the bill pass in its prs ent shape. By closing the pool rooms the race tracks obtained an exclusive privilege, and the bill should have provided for proper taxation on their receipts. By a vote ot 112 to 7 the bill was read for the third time.

No sooner had the result been announced than Ainsworth sprang to his feet and asked unanimous consent to introduce a bill. Above a deafening uproar he described it shouting: "It repeals the Ivos pool law and I more that all order of business down to the introduction of bills be suspended, and on that motion I call for tho ayes and nays. We'll see how sincere you are in your talk about rooting out the gambling evil." This was an adroitly laid and somewhat embarrassing trap, and in order to place everybody on record Ainsworth made a call of the house, which was agreed to. When the absentees bad been huntod up Mr. Ainsworth resorted to every possible parliamentary strategem to get this bid before the house, but without avail, and he finally contented himself with giving notice that 110 would bring it up again on Monday evening under an order of business requiring such notice to be given.

The anti pool room bill now goes to the governor, who will promptly sign it. The bills legalizing tho expenditures of the aldermen and supervisors for the Columbian celebration which have received the approval of Governor Flower wero reported to the senate from the cities' committee and passed unanimously. They aro a special order in the assembly on Monday night and their path there will probably be also strewn with dowers. The senate has also passed Senator MoCarty's bill for building and maintaining the Kennedy driveway, McCarren's bill allowing an additional expenditure of 4100,000 to complete the soldiers and sailors monument, his bill bestow ing upou the aldermen the power to close the streets also his bili empowering the board of assessors to change thoir maps to accord with the new ward boundary lines, and I'innegau's bill allowing the authorities of New btro 'ht to spend 500,000 in the improvement of tne town wero approved. The assembly passed Jlr.

Tavlor's bill prohibiting the oper ation of any railtoad on Hewes street and Mr. Duraek's bill affecting in the same way Decatur street. Mr. Cahill, on bohnlf of Mr. Byrnes, who was called home on Wednesday because of the death of his brother, has tried, but without success, to nave the bill prohibiting the use of steam on Atlantic avenue made special order by the committee on rules.

Mr. Cnliiil attributes his lack of success to the attitude of Leader Quigley, but the lattor emphatically denies thnt hoi's opposed to the measure. The rush of business before tho committee on rules, Mr. Quigley says, has prevented the report being made. At this stage of the session, however, Mr.

Byrne's bill has no ohance at all.
