Policeman Hartig Plirted With Jennie Hampson and Commissioner York Dismisses His Case. President York of the Police Board sat in Judgment on policemen In the rooms of the Court of Special Sessions this morning.

Keeley pf the Seventy ninth Precinct In Queens Borough, who was charged with Insubordination in leaving a car at Mas peth agalDst the orders of Sergeant Williams during the strike, and Officer William Hartlg of the Fifth Precinct, Manhattan, who, it is alleged, acted In an unbecoming manner toward Miss Jennie Hampson of Bath Beach, he was doing strike duty in Brooklyn on July 26 last. The alleged offense of Keeley was committed on the 24th ultimo. He had been on a car of the Flushing avenue line and deserted at the Maspeth stables, declaring that he was unable to work any longer. The sergeant ordered him to go back on the car, but he refused positively.

The result of the insubordination was that charges were made against him. The witnesses for the defense lieu iuicb lu e.i..u,iiue: i.euitjj', uu wan mcu iu the car barn at Maspeth.

H. Tiemann. ONLY ONE CHARGE TRIED. Court of Honor Decides That Hellfarth Endangered the Peace and Harmony of the Society. Frank H.

Hellfarth, until yesterday the recording secretary of the German Liederkranz, was found guilty last night by a court of honor of having endangered the peace and harmony of the society, and, according to paragraph 14 of the constitution of the Liederkranz, deposed from his office and expelled from the society. There were two charges against him before the court, one for having apread rumors detrimental to the welfare of the Liederkranz and the other of having accused Augustus H. Tiemann, ex president and first vice president of the United Singers of Brooklyn, of embezzlement. The latter charge alone was considered, and after Its summary disposition it was not found necessary to bother with the other count. The court of honor, composed of members of the executive committee of the society, assembled at 9 o'clock at Liederkranz Hall, Meserole street and Manhattan avenue.

Several witnesses were examined by Nicholas Dietz, the counsel for the society, and then Mr. Hellfarth was given an opportunity to substantiate his accusations against Mr. Tier maun. He failed to do so. nevertheless, maintaining the claim that it was within his power but not according to his pleasure.

Then judgment was passed. The trouble, which has ended in this manner, is practically of nearly six years' standing, but was renewed in the early part qf last spring, while the Liederkranz held a fair. Mr. Hellfarth, believing himself neglected when the several committees were appointed, is alleged to have made detrimental remarks about the management of the fair, to the effect that the books would need looking over, and that he (Hellfarth) would see to it that this was done. He was called to account by several of the members, among them Mr.

Tie mann, and then repeated what he had said in 1894, at the time when Tiemann was the president, namely, that the latter had appropriated of the society's money to his own use. The matter was taken up. six years I ago, DUt smootuect over. Recently, however Hcllfartn came oat even stronger than be lore, onering to produce aocuments in corroboration of his charge and demanding an investigation. An executive eting was held, at which the two charges above set forth were preferred against him.

The matter dragged on, and on June 17 ho was informed that he had been Buai't uueu iiuiu umce penunig a uiai uy a court of honor. Hellfarth secured an injunction in the Supreme Court, restraining the society from taking any action, and a week ago Justice Maddox heard the arguments. The court found in favor of the Liederkranz and yesterday's trial was agreed upon. When the court of honor assembled, with President John Hummel in the chair, it was decided to take Mr. Tiemann's charge up first.

Mr. Hellfarth was oa hand early, but oalled no witnesses. Messrs. Wenzel Allmann. the vice president, and William Slebel took the witness chair and stated that they had heard Hellfarth make the alleged accusation against Tiemann.

Mr. Dietz then called upon the former to produce his proofs, but Hellfarth at length over the necessity of so doing, saying that his word was as good as that of anybody else, and that if the present members were fair minded they would admit that sufficient proof for the charge had been submitted in 1894. No one, however, seemed tb fake 'this1 view" Of the matter. Finally, President Hummel took a hand in the matter. "Mr.

Hellfarth," he said, "if you are In possession of these alleged proofs I call upon you to produce them. It has been said that should you have them it would only show that you violated the confidence placed1 in ou by, the society, by withholding some of its docu ments. I promise you that this part of the question shall not be taken into consideration." "I have documentary proof, but I do not choose to produce it." shouted Mr. Hellfarth "ThP accounts Wo i erei enon to are now in of th at a i Woman Dies in a Hovel Palled to Push. Her Claims.

Members of the Sixty fifth Precinct Save a Poor Woman From Being Dispossessed. An act on the part of the policemen attached to the Sixty fifth Precinct, who preserve the peace in the Brownsville district, demonstrates that they are not entirely hardened by being brought in constant contact with crime of all sorts, but are capable of much kindness. This was shown yesterday, when the men saved Mrs.

Lizzie Ebberts and her two children, aged 2 and 5 years, from being dispossessed from her apartments in Liberty avenue, near Wyona street. The won. an was in deep despair, when in company with her children, weeping bitterly, she entered the station house III search of advice. She told Sergeant John G. Ouchterloney that she had been unable to pay the rent of her two small rooms and that the landlord had threatened to turn her out unless she had the rent, amounting to $1.

that afternoon. She explained to the sergeant that her husband had deserted her and that she supported herself and children by whatever work she was able to get. She barely made enough to keep them In food and did not have a cent toward the rent. Sergeant Ouchterloney told her to call later and he would see what could be done toward raising the amount necessary. He made an investigation and found the woman was worthy of being ase isted.

When the policemen in the station house were told the facts In the case, they readily contributed the amount reciuired. while an extra dollar was added by the sergeant. This was done, despite the fact that the woman lives in another precinct. It was sufficient that she was in destitute circumstances. The woman profusely thanked the policemen for their kindness.

They will also endeavor to procure some work for her. HELD FOR ROBBERY. Woods Charged With Taking Money From a Contractor's Pocket While He Slept.

He Served Two Terms as Georgia's Executive and Was a Leading Politician of the State.

Newnan. August 8 Former Governor W. Y. Atkinson died at his residence here at o'clock this morni.i?. He had been ill for ten days his physicians gave up hope for ills recovery several days ago.

W. Y. Atkinson became prominent in the politics of Georgia seme years and in when the Democrats were looking for a candidate for governor, many of Hum preferred him He became one of two candidates put forward for the nomination, the other man being Oiu. ral Clement A. Evans, the choice of the old Con ederates.

An arrangement was made or fm debates by the iwo candidates in dtiieu nt parts of the state, and it was agreed that the state committee should be request' to call for a primary election by bailot in all the counties of the state and thus avoid the al u. is of the mass meeting method. The committee decided t. i leave the manner of choosing dele gates to the Judgment of the ccunty eonirnittet H. In June.

General Evans withdrew from the contest In the interest of party unity, thus leaving the nomination to Mr. Atkinson. Against the latter only Judge Hines, Populist, ran. The Democratic majority was only 21. 161 and the tetal vote the largest In the history of the state.

Governor Atkirson ua renominated by the Democrats in 1896 and again had only a I'eipu list. Sraborn J. Wright, as an opponent, fits majority was 38.000, while the other Democratic candidates for state offices were elected by majorities ranging from 55.52 to 50.32H.

THE TALLULAH LYNCMINGS. Italian Envoy's Report Clashes With That of the Louisiana Governor. New Orleans, August Marquis Carmlllo de Romano left last night for Washington. He was sent here as an envoy extraordinary from the Italian embassy in Washington to Investigate the lynching of the five Italians at Tallulah. Marquis Romano goes back with a lot of papers and statements.

He took considerable evidence In Wicksburg as to the citizenship of the five men and according to his evideiu they were ali loyal subjects of King Httm bort. When he visited Governor Foster, however, and found In the executive mansion the court documents from Madison parish showing when ar.d where the three Di Katta brothers were naturalized and took the oath of allegiance to the United Slates, the marquis was not so sure about his evidence gathered In Wicksburg. The report of ial envoy and that of Governor Foster clash at nearly every point. It was evidently decided that the case was one for the Washington authorities representing tho two governments to consider, and therefore the scene of the contention has been transferred from New Orleans to Washington. TRANSPORT MC PHERSON HERE.

The United States transport Mcl'hcrson, Captain Byrne, arrived to day from San Juan and Santiago with fifty three passengers, all of whom embarked at San Juan. The transport not having communicated with the shore at Santiago, and the usual quarantine period having elapsed, permission was given her to proce od. Among the passi rgc rs were Captains H. A. Roed and George H.

Paddock and Surgeon Southall. I the the to as an be jl I New Scheme for the Subcutaneous Innoculation of Lymph Plasma. TAKEN FROM BREEDED GOATS. Proposed Plan Includes the Establishment of a Sanitarium in Brooklyn, Says Dr. Holden.

If the expectations of one of Brooklyn's nrominent physicians are realized, a decided Innovation in the method of treating numer ous diseases with which the average layman is familiar or has experienced, is soon to be inaugurated. The plan contemplates the establishment In this city of a sanitarium, similar in Its conduct to many other such Institutions, in which, however, the system of medication will be a novel departure from ordinary methods. The treatment consists chiefly in the subcutaneous Inoculation of the pntlent with cells and lymph plasma taken from specially breeded goats. It Is said by Its votaries to have effected many cures of various diseases, particularly those of the nervous system. Dr.

Frederick C. Holden, whope office Is at 34 Plaza street, is one of the prime movers in tbu new enterprise, and, ai from the substantial backing which he is lr: eIf able to to the project, the depa: is s.il I to have the hearty support of many residents of Brooklyn who have taken the treatment In Chicago, under the direction of B. F. Roberts of Green City. by whom It was discovered.

Dr. Holden, who is associate visiting surgeon to St. Mary's Hospital and attending physiclnn to the Home for Destitute Children on Sterling place. Is a graduate of the New York University. To an Eagle reporter he i said that the treatment had long ago passed the experimental stage.

"I would have It understood," said he, "that the treatment is by no means repre sented to be a panacea for all the ills of, huu.anity, nor for any large part of them. 1 Ours Is no dream of a fountain of youth, in which we hope to restore health or vitality by the waving ol a magic wand or the uttering o'f mystic words. The Lreatment is. however, an entirely new deve lopment in medicine, being the result of thirty years of ex perience and research." "As you know," continued Dr. Holden.

"the term lymph is appl'ed t.y the physiologist and the chemist to the liuid found in the lymphatics. This, in the form of cells and lymph pla sma, Is taken from the living animals and is combined with vitalized extracts of the lymphatic tissue. Such combination Is affected by a process of condensation and fixation. The lymph coagulates slowly after its removal from a living body and is a jellylike mass. It contains corpuscles not at all different from the blood celts, and, like them.

Is without color. The lymph is conveyed by and larger vessels to the venous system, which Is a delicate network of veins, and on entering those it mixes with tr.e blood. The ptoeess which is used in the treatment keeps the cells and other vital prlnoipies not only allvt, and free from microbes, but also able to remuln soj when Injected under the skin, and. In add! tion, to imparl to existing healthy cells Increased vigor and permanence as well as ability to successfully comoat disease. The products for the treatment are taken from a spe cial breed of young goats, which of all other animals are said to be the richest, toughest and healthiest In the elements which 1 nave named.

"The student of physiology can tell you the simple facts connected with the circulation of I the lymph. That on the left side of the trunk of both legs and of the left arm is couv yod into tne blood oy wnat Is called the thoracic duct, whilp the lymph on the right side of the head, neck and trunk and of the right arm en i ters the circulation of the blood at tne June I tion of the axillary and interna! Jugular veins on the right side by a sort trunk at the ex tremity of which are situated protective valves. In its circulation the lymph passes through small glands about the size of a pea or bean. These glands are called lymphatics, The lymph arises primarily the tluld part of the Llood, which exudes from the eapil laries and bathes the cells and tissues of the' body, and then, after supplying them with food and receiving their excretions, once more enters the circulation." "f'rom this," continued Dr. Holden, who displayed much enthusiasm In discussing the subject, "you will see how Important It Is that the lymph ir any human body must be able to meet the demands made upon it in its varied functions.

There Is every warrant of science in asserting that, the iymph from animals can be prepared so that when injected suheutaneously into the human system it will be assimilated readily and thus aid the debilitated or overworked lymphatics In properly fulfilling nil their functions, failure to do which Is productive of much disease and ur eocssary suffering." Regarding the method of administering the lymph Dr. Hilden sail arttirg diet, hygiene, etc. Dr. Holden claims that the treatment is especially beneficial in cases of nervous de rang ent. especially locomotor paralysis, atrophy and contractions and inflammations of the nerves, as well as rheumatism and allied affections resulting from derangements of the blood circulation.

As his associate Or. Holden will have Dr. Steger of fi2 West. Thirty seventh street, Manhattan, who, like him. has made an extended stay In Chlcntro studying the methods of using the lymp1" and observing numerous cases in which it was used, and in which, he asserts, the results were highly pleasing to the patients and the physlclnns.

Dr. Holden says that many physicians of Boston and other cities of tlie East have displayed unusual interest In the new methoel of trentmcnt and that it has been made the subject of much favorable comment by many of the leading physicians In various cities.

UNFORTUNATE PROSPECTORS. Guide Was Drowned and They Failed to Find His Eldorado Chicago Party Missing. Victoria, August 8 According to arrivals by the steamer Rosalia. John F. Robertson and a party of eleven prospectors who set out from Dawaon City a year ago to prospect along the Porcupine River, returned to the Klondike In an emaciated condition on July 22.

They reached Dawson on the steamer Sault Ste Marie, which vessel picked them up at the confluence of the Porcupine and Yukon. The unfortunate prospectors left Dawson because I of the report of a miner, who came in from the head waters of the Porcupine and told 1 of rich finds there. The Rubertson party, ltd by the miner, started for the scene of his reported findings, but during their Journey the miner was drowned, and although they i searched the country thoroughly the party failed to find a trace of the dead man's Eldorado. They were finally taken on board a whaler, where they spent the winter.
