WANTS GALLAGHER AS SENATOR Remains a Reform Democrat and Will Speak Throughout the Campaign Has No Intention of Running an Independent Ticltet Says He Is Out of Politics and That He Has Been Misrepresented His Letter to the Committee. Senator Daniel Bradley, candidate of the Rv form Democrats for s. nator in the Third slmi ate district, has withdrawn his name as a candidate.

It hart ben rumored for several days that he had contemplated this move, but the senator maintained silence. Yesterday was the last day left to him in which to file his resignation with the elections commissioners, and he did it. The senator was stirred to the depths of his nature ihJs morainK by the way in which the fact had been announced in the morning newspapers, as It had been made to appear that his resignation had been aied Shortly before midnight last night with the elections commissioners. He was found early this morning pacing up and down behind the oovrrrter of the cigar store and notary public office over which he Uvea at 96 Bridge street wan my main ro. i.con for withdrawing? Why, I wanted in Democratic party to ivm, hands down." A.

silk traveling cap with a peak rested lightly on his gray locks, and he drew long whiffs of tobacco smoke through a clay pipe with an abnormally long stem. That, which seemed to be weighing on his mind was what he termed a tissue of lies in a morning newspaper concerning a meeting at which he spoke last alghtt at 357 Furaiaa street. Another thing that had happened was that he had been summoned out of bed at midnight and compelled to lean out of the front window scantily clad while Into cold night air pierced him to his bones and answer questions as to his filing of his resignation with the elections camaiis Etaners. "They reported that I filed the resignation iast night after the meetiuK." he said, "and it was not tru. The fact is that I had put in my resignation in the day time and therefore long before the meeting.

Now as to that Furman street meeting there was no 'lie' passed and there was no incipient rioting. Dick F. Ramsay, J. "Warren Greene. Everett Green and Alexander M.

White, spoke at the same meeting and they will tell you that for that kind of a meeting it was very orderly the most orderly I ever saw. I spoke for an hour and the only disturbance was that made by an intoxicated man, and he "was put out. Another thing, the meeting was termed a cart tail meeting. Neither did any one ask me for a pinch of snuff. I want to eay that there wasn't a cart around the place.

If there is anything that I am proud of it's my reputation, and I'm not willing to submit to misrepresentation, for I've a good many friends in the Third district."

She Ranks Second in the List of Cities Having the Greatest Number In a Period of Thirteen Years Throughout the Whole Country Strikers Have Won Over 43 Per Cent, of Their Quarrels "With Employers (Special to the Eagle.) Washington, D. Octcber 22 Labor Commissioner Carroll D. Wright, in his special report on strikes, deals simply with facts. He draws no Inferences, makes no deductions or recommendations in regard to the settlement of differences between employers and the employed, but simply tells the story as it came under the observation of his department. The Eagle on Sunday published the figures contained in this report that referred to strikes In Brooklyn.

The general report Is equally Interesting. In it Commissioner Wright says: "The difference between a strike and lockout is that a strike cccurs when the employes of an establishment refuse to work unless the management complies with some demand. A lockout occurs when the management refuses to allow the employes to work unless they will do so under some condition dictated by the management. It appears, therefore, that these two classes of industrial disturb ances are practically alike, the main distinc tion being that in a strike the employes take the initiative, while in a lockout the employer first makes some demand and enforces it ly refusing to allow his employes to work unless It is complied with. The methods under which my investigations were conducted were similar to those made use of in previous examinations.

A thorough examination was made of the files of the leading papers in. various parts of the country, and all trade and commercial periodicals and all state labor reports for the years invoiv ed in the investiga tion, with reference to all strikes occurring during tihat period. Furnished with those data, which in most cases located the strikes and lockouts, and in many cases supplied of ten the names of the iirms involved, the agents of the department were assigned dis tricts for canvassing. In addition to the information furnished them by this preliminary data they were instructed to iuake every possible effort, hy personal Inquiry and consultation with iabor organizations, manufacturers' associations, to secure further informa tion as to strikes and lockouts occurring in the district assigned them, to the end that none might escape their notice. "The number of establishments involved in strikes during the year 1881 was 2,928.

In 1882 the number dropped to 2,105, while in 1883 it rose to 2,759, or nearly that of 1SS1. In 1SS4 and 1885 the number fell rapidly, there being 2,367 in 1884, while in 1SS5 the number of establishments involved in strikes was smaller than in any previous or succeeding year of the period, namely, 2,284. In 1886 the number rose to 10,053, the greatest number in any of the years considered. In 1887 it dropped to 6,589, in 18SS it dropped still further to 3,506, and remained nearly stationary in 1889 at 3.786, while in 1S90 the number again rapidly rose to 9,424, a number almost as great as that for 1886. In the next year, 1S91," the number dropped to 8,117, dropping still further in 1892 and 1893 to 5,540 and 4,555 respectively.

For the first six months of 1894, the number was 5,154, indicating that If there was a proportionately large number in the last six months of that year, it would reach In round numbers 10,300, a number slightly greater than that for 1886, in which the largest number of establishments were Involved in strikes. The total number of establishments involved in strikes, during the whole period of thirteen and one half years was 69,167. During this period Illinois shows the largest number of establishments affected, both by strikes and lookouts, there being 10,000 of the former and 1,193 of the latter Next comes New York with 9,640 establishments involved in strikes, and 723 in lockouts, and Pennsylvania with S.219 involved in strikes and 490 in lockouts. During the six years immediately preceding those included in this report, the state in which the greatest number of establishments were affected by strikes was New York with 9,247, followed by Illinois with 2,768 and Pennsylvania with 2,442. Combining the facts for both of these periods, the greatest number of establishments affected by strikes is New York with 18,787, followed by Illinois with IS, 828 and Pennsylvania with 10,661.

The industries most affected by strikes during the seven and one half years included in the present report were the building trades, with 20.7S5 establishments affected; coal and coke with clothing, with tobacco cutting, with stone quarries and cuttlne. with metals and metallic goods, with 1.S34 and transportation with 1,327. "The total number of employes Involved or thrown out of employment, as shown in this report for tho period from January 1, 1SS7, to June ju, loyi, was 2,391.203. It should be re membered In considerlnrr the summaries re lating to the number of establishments and number of employes, that these figures do not represent the actual number of dif ferent individual establishments of different individual employes who were involved in striKes or lockouts in any given industrv or in a given year, because in many cases were nave Deen two or more strikes or lock outs in the same establishment in the samr year, and in such cases the establishment and the number of employes are doubled or triplicated as the case may be. In the summary of strikes in the principal cities for the last six years.

New York is first. Brooklyn second, Chicago third, Boston fourth, Allegany and Pittsburg fifth, Philadelphia sixth and St. Louis seventh. The total number of strikes in New York was 2,614, in Brooklyn 671, in Chicago 528, Boston 257, Allegany and Pittsburg 251, Philadelphia 240 and in St. Louis 111.

number of establishments In New York affected, was 6,467, in Brooklyn 1,271 and in Chicago 8.325. The number of employes thrown out of employment bv the strikes in New York was 215,649, in Brooklyn 31.76S, and in Chicago 252,611. The wage loss to employes in New York, as a result I these strikes, was in Brooklyn 5914,045 and in Chicago The "loss to employers in rsew York was $3,545,766 in Brooklyn $532,780, and in Chicago $14,444,034. In the table of lockouts in the principal cities New York again ranks first, with 43, and 393 establishments affected. Brooklyn is tenth on this list, having 19 lockouts and but 64 establishments.

"In the period covered by this report, out of the whole number of establishments affected by strikes, 46,863, success in their demands was gained by the employes in 20,397, or 43.5 per partial success was gained In 4,775 establishments, or 46.2 per cent, of the whole number; for four establishments, 0.01 per either the result was not recorded or tho strikes were still pending out out of 3,094. Out of 3,853 establishments having lockouts. 1.S03, or 18.S7 per cent, of the whole number succeeded in gaining their demands; 391, or 10.15 per partially succeeded, and 1,558. or 40.44 per failed; in twenty one establishments, or 0.54 per cent, of the whole number, the lockouts were still pending June 30, 1894. The result for the seven and one half years, so far as concerned employes, is as follows: In the 20,397 establishments havincr successful Rtriiroc nno persons were thrown out of pnmira.m the 4,775 establishments in which strikes were partially successful.

31.S.S0 emploves were involved, while in the 21.6S7 establishments in which strikes failed, 1,400,988 persons were thrown out of employment. The leading causes of the strikes were found In the demands for increase of wages, in which 12,041 establishments were involved. In 6.199 establishments the cause of the strikes was the question of hours, and in cases it was caused by a reduction in wages. There were 1,688 cases of strikes caused by employment of non union men, 1,559 on account of the adoption of new scale. The reinstatement of discharged employes caused 16 strikes." One of the most Important features of the tabulation is the statement of the losses of the employes and of the employers by reason of strikes and lockouts.

These figures were collected with tho greatest possible care, and. although In many cases only an estimate could be secured, the results are believed to be a very close approximate of the exact loss.

He Urges More and Better Organization of the Church and Outlines the Work of the Past Thirty Years in That Direction What the Denomination Has Accomplished on Other Lines Commitees Named. Washington, D. October 22 More than a thousand leaders of the Unitarian church, including scores of prominent divines, were gathered in Metzerott' Music hall to day when the national conference of the Unitarian and other Christian churches was formally opened. United States Senator Hoar of Massachusetts is tho president ol the conference, but was detained at Woreetor, and Dorman B. Eaton of Xew York presided over the sessions, A communion service' conducted by th Rev.

Dr. Charles C. Eyerett of Harvard, opened tho day's proceedings and Commissioner of Labor Cnrroll D. Wright followed in an address of welcome. The following telegram of regret was then sent to the Kev.

JiMward Everett Halo of Eoibury, The national conference sends affectionate creatine in memory of hU ninny dirtti ncuiahed services and with tender eyiurijithy for theanxletica and Porrowa which deprive the conference of his preonce and fellowahtD. After some routino business the Rov. George Batcheler. chairman of the council of the na tional cenference and secretary of the Unitarian association, reaa an address. Mr.

Batchelor said: 'The first fact which confronts us is a do mand'for more and better organization. The oars ef this conference nre always open to that cry, for out ol such demand made thirty vears this conference came. Since that event the following things have happened: "Uno hundred and ilfty churches have been organized. All the local conferences have been formed, excepting the Maine. New Hampshire and Western.

Tho ministers' institute wus cre atod ny act of your council. Tho Woman's alliance has omo into existence and become a na tional Unitarian clubs have sprung up and have revealed a new possibilify isi tue organization 01 men. unity clubs, religious guilds and lend a hand clubs have boon multiplied throughout the land. The Sunday sehool societies, East and West, have enlargod their work and greatly improved the quality of their publications. The ladles' commission on Sun day school bookB has sifted literature for our children with signal success.

The Unitarian association, which thirty years ago was a pri vato eorporation. has become a national repre sentative organization. We have three sources of supply, the Unsectarian Divinity school of Harvard university, the Unitarian Theological school at ileadvlllo and tho ministry of other denominations. One of the inconvenient results of our progress is that tho change in other church 'S takes effect with the ministry before it does with tho laity. The result is an iatcreos ing demand for admission to our ministry and work under our auspices.

Under these circumstances we say to the faculties of our schools that tho needs of the Unitarian ehurch now require not many graduates so much as graduates of a high order. "It has boon the good fortune of our church to produce man and women who could contribute to tho literature of the world. It has been our good fortune, also, to stand so near the common life of man that all humane literature has served our purpose. It has been our aim and is still our desire to produce denominational literature which may serve our Immediate purpose for special reasons, but whieh hall bo of such a quality as to escape denominational uses and bosom the common property cf the world. "A now sense of the need of unity pervades the religious life of the world.

Among the many indications which might be cited are the Lambeth proposals, the Griudelwald conferences, the letter of Leo XIII inviting the Protestant world to return to the Roman ehuroh. Less notable, but nearer to us are the liberal congress at Chicaco in May, the oae at Toronto in July, and numerous meetings of ministers ot different denominations, such as those at Ayer and on Cape Cod, Mass. With the purpose of these meetings your representatives are most heartily in sympathy. But they held that to succeed all such plans must look toward a voluntary co operation of churches and individuals who are prepared for union. Thore can be no union under compulsion."

Why Some Property Holders Are Disturbed. WERE ANY WHEELS GREASED? A Committee "Which Is Said to Have Assessed Lot Owners for an Improvement the Expense of Which the City Was Willing to Assume Law Suits Threatened and Invited by the Parties Interested. There is much to do In Dutchtown over the closing of the court yards on the east side of Bushwick avenue between Mj rtle avenue and Wall street. The trouble is not in the closing of this portion of the street but the consequences that seem to threaten some of the lot holders who have not come to realize the fact that public improvements do not mean a private snap to some who set the wheels in operation. By chapter 464 of the laws of 1S79 the common council was authorized to close the court yards above referred to, but nothing appears to have been done in the matter till the early part of 1894, when the aldermen granted the application of certain property holders and proceedings were begun.

In the meantime, however, in 1SS3, the west side of the street had been closed. In May, 1S94, a commission was appointed to close in legal form the court yards on the east side, which commission reported in November of the same year, recommending the giving of quit claim deeds by the city to the property holders, which recommendation was carried out in the following resolution of the common council of May 6, 1895: Resolved, That the mayor and city clerk he and they are hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver quit claim deeds of all the right, tltie and Interest ot the City of Brooklyn ot. In and to that part of XJus hwick avenue laid down and designated as "court yards," lying between the southerly side of Myrtle avenue and the northerly side of Wail su eet, on the east side of Bushwick aenue as It appears uion the commissioner's man of the said City of Brooklyn, said part of Bushwick avenue having been duly closed accordins to law to the several owners alone the line of said east side of Bushwick avenue, between the podnts aforesaid, of the land in said court yards in front of tbe premises of such owners respectively, upon application therefor being made to the corporation counsel of the City of Brooklyn md upon satisfactory proof being presented to the said corporation counsel that all ta xes, assessments and water rates upon said parcels respectively have been paid, and upon payment to the City of Brooklyn of the sum of five dollars by each of the said owners so applying respectively. Deeds were prepared and the corporation counsel notified the lot owners to call at the controller's office, pay produce their tax search and receive their deeds. It will thus be seen that the only expense the property owners were legally put to was about $7.50 $5 for the deed and about for a tax search.

But this is not where the trouble arose. It was over the actions of a committee consisting of Henry Loeifler of 1S9A Stockton street, Joseph Bauer of 669 Bushwick avenue and Andrew Sohenk of Bushwick avenue and Troutman street, who went among the other property owners and, it is claimed, represented that it would cost money to put the improvement through. They did not state, it is alleged, just where the money wouia go, out intimated that certain wheels would not move smoothly without grease. It appears that many of the people interested signed a petition to have the court vards closed, agreeing to bear the necessary expense in proportion to their frontages, believing that those who represented all should not have to pay all the car fares, etc. When the deeds were ready Michael Furst of the corporation counsel's office notified the property owners to appear hefore him, and there told them just what they would have to do aad what they would have to pay, as stated a'bove, and warning them that they vere not liable for any other expense of any kind.

He further told tfhem that if anyone attempted to collect any money from them for the" cost of having the proceedings put through they should not pay it, as the workwas of an ordinary character, pursuant to an act of the legislature, and that nobody in official life was entitled to or would receive anything for their trouble. This put the owners in a happy frame oi mind, wfhich has recently been disturbed by the demands of the above mentioned committee. It is said by some that suit has been threatened if the demands are not met, and by others that their deeds are withheld by these men pending the settlement of the demands. Most of the owners are German and their imperfect understanding of the methods of government makes them very uncertain just what to do. Mrs.

Bianca Strauss of 627 Bushwick avenue said of the demands of the committee: "A year ago I went to the office of Jackson Burr and paid them $10 to get this through, but I don't know what they did with the money. I have my deed and have paid the but Mr. LoefDer came to me and said I would have to pay him $20 for getting my deed. I told him I wouldn't and he said he would sue me. I told him to go ahead, and if he did not know where the court was I would take him there any morning so he could sue.

I paid $10 for nothing, and I won't pay any more unless I have to. If I have to fee anyone I want to know what This is the sentiment expressed by many the property owners, and trouble is likely to arise if they do not get their deeds on paying the legal fee. Charles Pabst of 593 Bushwick avenue said of tho matter: "I signed an agreement to pay my share of the expense and to give a suitable remuneration to the men who took all the trouble. I have not paid anything yet because I do not know what the expenses ar, but when they are made out I shall pay my share. I understood that it would be necessary to pay tome money to gat the closing through, but I don't know who was to get it.

and I suppose it would be a hard matter to find out." An effort was made this morning to and Messrs. Loefller, Baur and Schenck this morn ing, but without success; but the statements madebyall whocould be seen agree on the point that some one is trying to get money out of them for something that should not have cost anything outside of the fees for deed and search. MR. OEHMIG HELD FOR ASSAULT. NOTWITHSTANDING HIS ROUGH TREATMENT BY A BRIDGE EMPLOYE.

Benjamin Oehmig, who lives at 135 Lexington avnue, New York, was held to the special sessions by Magistrate Mott in the Tombs police court yesterday afternoon, on a charge of assaulting J. J. O'Brien, a guard on a Brooklyn bridge car, despite the fact that there was plenty of evidence to show provocation for the assault had been given. Oehmig is a business man and eminently respectable in appearance. The guard's story is that Oehmig, who was a passenger on his car Saturday afternoon, attacked him without any provocation at all, and struck him in the face so violently that his cap fell off.

James S. Mowett of 629 St. Marks avenue, and Richard Cameron ot 1,509 Fulton street, both Brooklyn ites, testified that they saw the two men arguing on the platform. The guard said something they couldn't catch, at which Oehmig retorted with a foul name and a blow. Bridge Policeman Thomas was then called upon and arrested Oehmig This completed the case for the prosecution and Oehmig took the stand.

He said he reached the bridge platform at the Brooklyn side shortly alter 1 P. and was caught in a crowd. He was rather handicapped by having an oil painting under his left arm. and was swept helplessly on the car by the people behind him. O'Brien was standing on the platform yelling at people to get inside, although the car was jammed to its fullest capacity.

Oehmig remonstrated, but the guard grabbed him and pushed and punched him until he was forced through tho crowd into the inside of the car. He grabbed at the door to steady himself, and immediately O'Brien caught his arm, dragged it away and violently shut dour All tho way over, according to Oehmig, the guard would peer through the door and laugh at him. When the New York side was reached, Oehmig stepped out on the platform. As he did so, O'Brien threw the gate open and Oehmig's right leg was caught between the Tailing and the gate.

Clear oil is hard to digest. The first thing your digestive machinery does is to make an emulsion of it. Scott's Emulsion is cod liveloTl without its taste it is half digested already. im oit, ciouua Ul LO 1 bacco smoke rolled over his head as he pulled aod the presidents of elubs and so xapldly at his pipe. At this luncture a man in the federation.

The com big clouds of to vented him backing away and the gate kept him from going forward. In fact, he was regularly caught In a trap. "Close that gate and let me get free," he demanded of O'Brien, but the guard grinned and cursed him. Oehmig admitted that he lost his temper then, swore back in his turn and slapped O'Brien's face, after which he was arrested. William Hester of Brooklyn was the next witness called.

He had been a passenger on the car and saw Oehmig violently propelled into the car by O'Brien at the Brooklyn terminal. Mr. Hester characterized O'Brien's conduct as brutal in theextreme. He did not, however, witness the assault on the New York side, as he was separated from the couple by a crowd. The witness declared that there did not appear to be any provocation for the guard's assault on Mr.

Oehmig and he thought O'Brien was totally unfit to be a guard. This corroborated Oehmig's statement as to what happened at tie Brooklyn end, and N. A. Macholz or 454 Fourth avenue. New York, who witnessed the assault, agreed with the defendant in every particular.

Colonel Edward Owen, chief clerk to the New York commissioners of accounts, gave evidence as to Mr. Oehmig's character, and that closed the case. Then Magistrate Mott leaned back in his chair and thought. "I find the defendant guilty," he finally said. "The man had no provocation or justification for what he did.

If he had a grievance he knew where bo get redress without resorting to violence." "But, your honor," protested Lawyer Gray bill, who appeared for Mr. Oehmig. "if you had been in this defendant's place what would you have done?" "I don't know what I would have done," the magistrate replied after a pause. "My opinion is you would have done the saane as he did," ventured the lawyer. "There is no use in discussing what might have happened," retorted Magistrate Mott tartly.

"I am here to enforce the law. The defendant is held in $300 ball to await trial." Mr. Oehmig had no difficulty in finding a bondsman. JOHN MULLINS ACQUITTED. A NEW JERSEY JUBY FINDS HIM NOT GUILTY OF CONSPIRACY.

Jehn Mullins, the furniture dealer, who has been trial for the past four days in Trenton, N. J. on eharires of conspiracy with Bernard J. Ford to defraud the state of New Jersey out of 9,443.85 in the furnishing of carpets, furniture and other supplies for the new state house, was acquitted yesterday, the jury being out only twenty minutes. Mullins himself took the stand and test fled that he bad no agreement with Ford to pay him or any one else for him a share on the profits he made on his contracts with the state government.

In his argument Judire Hoffman, eeunsel for Mullins, said that there ought to be a whip in the hand of every honest man to whip Eugene Murphy, the principal witness for the prosecution. Judge Woedruff, in charging the jury, ox plained at length what a legal conspiracy was. He said it made no difference whether or not Ford bad legal authority, if he executed it, ana the defendant recognized him as hnvinu such authority. TheesBenceof the liens was not in the extravagant price but in the oorrupt agreement by which such price was obtained. He referred to the testimony of Murphy that Mullins had said Ford was getting impatient and directed him.

Murphy, toflguroout the amount of commission due to Ford. Without Murphy's testimony there, was no direct eTidenee whatever of any conspiracy. If, however, such conspiracy existe at the time Murphy wna in Mullins' employ and continued until Juae. 1893, the tinse named in the indictment, sueh conspiracy was proven. He then enlarged upon the question of reasonable doubt, and wnrnea tho jury to allow ne outside considerations to influence them in their verdict.

eyes ralrly snapped and with a package of something to sell entered the store and at once tackled the senator. who waved him off, saying: "I'm out of business now and out of politics, too." "Oh, eicuse me," said the stranger, as he "rro out of business now too. oiitics. gave a frightened glance at the senator Hashing eyes and fled. "It was no sudden resolve I had taken to resign from the ticket," continued the senator in response to an inquiry.

"1 decided to withdraw two weeks ago yes, and more, too." The senator continued to pace the floor as he talked. "I don't propose to stop speaking In this campaign for the reform Democracy. I'll be heard right along, just as I have been booked. They'll hear from mo at the Academy of Music to night. What was my main reason for withdrawing? Why, I wanted tho Democratic party to win, hands down, and I think they can do it with Gallagher.

I don't propose to see a Republican elected in a Democratic district. They say Franklin AVoodruff has money to burn and now I want to see him burn it. If Gallagher is named by the executive committee of the reform Democracy for my place on tho ticket, no one will get out and work harder for him than I will. Of course, I don't know whether Gallagher will be indorsed or not. I presume they will meet to dav or to morrow and settle the question." "Would you take an independent nomination?" the senator was asked.

"No, sir," he replied. "I believe In the re form ticket. I've always been elected on an independent Democratic ticket and I'm with the independent Democrats now. I've always "been a Democrat and I don't want any blot now on my old gray head. I couldn't pull out now if I would.

I wouldn't if I could. As I've always aid, I'm in tho hands of Providence and my constituents." The senator appeared later at the headquarters of tho reform Democrats. He was Jocularly addressed by one man as "ex senator." "No, sir; no, sir;" ejaculated Uncle Daniel. "I'm senator until December 1." He displayed a letter that, ho had received this morning from W. J.

O'Brien, president of the Workingmen's assembly, calling attention to the fact tb.it there was a printed statement Inclosed on which the senator's name was printed as on the roll of honor in the association, his record bring that be had always worked in his legislative career in the interests of labor. "That's certificate onouith for me," he said, as he carefully folded the documents and stowed them away in his inside pocket. From the conversation the politicians It would appear that the senator's withdrawing was not a surprise. His letter of resignation, handed by him to the executive committee, is as follows: Urooltlyn.
