The bonds, however, hare not yet beon presented, and the Controller thinks that perhaps the lady is under the Impression that tho bonds are still drawing interest.

Some Additional Facts and Specu lations About the Green point Horror. The Insanity Plea Interposed Mr. Fnctas Decidedly Queer In His Ways for a Long Time Past. Much speculation is being indulged in, first ly as to the motives which impelled Fuchs to the killing of Simmons. It would seem to be the settled opinion of those who knew Fuchs and Simmons intimately that the statement tbat tbo former discovered bis wife's unchaste embrace of tho latter is un true.

The story of tho llttlo girl and Mrs. Fuchs is pointed to as proof that no such motive could have actuated him. It is generally admitted, though, by people In the neighborhood that Simmons was too Intimate with Mrs. Fuchs. The reporter heard It stated by several parties that Simmons was seen getting over a fence alongside tho yard at night and enter the house.

They also state that ruchs frequently told in his cups of bis wife's infidel ity. To tho owner of the house In whioh he resided he often charged his wife with being unchaste, and at such times slated that he wished he was rid of her. It is argued, there fore, that as he believed in his wife's unfsithfnl ness prior to the murder, no suaaen spasm oi virtuous Indignation oould have seized him, even if his statement about catching her and Simmons was true. The presence of the child would, nearly all the pspors stste, explode this statement of Fuoh's. Such, however, Is not the case, as IiITTLE EIiIiA stated to the writer.

In the presence of Coroner Nolan, that after the father going for beer her mother sent her to bed. She also stated that Bhe woke up her mother, and that she saw the murder as well as the mutllating.while washing the dishes noxt morning. The Btory she told to Inspector Waddy, and ss published in the press generally, waa different, but she wss under muoh excitement at the time, and probably bis questioning tended to elicit fsots which he desired in order to criminate Fuohs the more. However, the acoepted theory Is that Fuchs murdered Simmons in order to possess hlroBelf of money, bnt more especially of his plaoe lu the factory. In this regard it is well to state that Fuchs had charge of the hammer during Simmons' absenoo on a few occasions.

INSANITY. The theory of insanity is being muoh canvassed at present and finds numerous believers. It is noticeable tbat those who believe In the insanity of Fuchs, are those who knew him and are acquainted with his habits. The man naturally Is an excitable temperament, and consequently the plea of insanity finds many supporters. Circumstances are related of him where he has repeatedly during the night walked np and down the yard under apparent excitement When spoken to he generally answered questions disconnectedly, and at times flew Into a passion.

The slightest attempt at a Joke would be considered dangerous to the man who uttered It. He was never known to drink much around stores, probably the small psy he received being the cause. In addition, the fact that he mads his own alcohol accounts for that, Although he lived in Williams burgh for some time few knew him intimately. In conversation with a few business mon who were tolerably well acquainted with him, they stated that from his sotlona they believe that he is in aaue, and would so swear on the stand, If called upon. But so great Is their horror of the aeea taa leiiow com mitted, that they express a wish to see him hanged.

In support of the insanity theory, is claimed, also, tbat HIS MANNER BEFOBE AND SINGE his arrest, point that way. His transitions from tears to laughter, is also cltoa. tvon su action iu tue coach, while being driven to point out wnere toe remains of Simmons were concealed in the Newtown Creek Meadows, and the laughing way ha did so are referred to. In the carriage he subsequently laughed and told Captain Woglom and Detectives Short and Holland, that he expected to be hanged tbat he didn't care. He then rambled off and regarded the wholo thing ss good fun.

At anothor time he oommenood to ory. Then again he appearod lively and talked about his home in Alsace. Suddenly he eald to Deteotive Holland, "My father a big man; he Mayor of Cultnar a big place (indicating with his hands to convey his ideas) Williamsburgh." Much more he said in broken English whioh the detectives did not understand. His manner was excitable during the ride. As it is understood that insanity will be the plea in his defense, no doubt bis connections in Atsaoe will be communicated with.

At present nothing is known of them. He says he served IN THE MtKNOH ABUT, and fought under MaoMahon during the recent war. He left Franoe "because he did not like It no morn," do doubt meaning his disgust after the annexation of Alsace to Germany Ma fellow workmen bear testimony to his excitable temperament, but actuated alike, doubtless, by feelings of love for Simmons, and horror at the brutal manner of his butchery, they say that he ought to be hanged, and that he was alwaya bad and notnsane. They very emphatically say that the Insanity dodge Is played out. In this connection a prominent Mason, and a writer on a mason to paper in New York, stated this morning In a oonversoUon with the reporter that the order would fight against Focha' escape on any such plea.

When reminded that the fnternltyiwas rupposAd to be a sensible body of man and would view matters Justly, he replied that'the present feeling among those of them with whom he convened was, that Fuohs should bo hanged at all "HAD STMVONS MOOTS' ON HIS PEBSOK is the question anted by many. It la not eaay of solution though. On Fuchs, whan arrested, only a trifle was found, and this he probably received the day before from his employer for the three days he worked before the stoppage of tha work Wednesday afternoon. Where, then, did the money (apposed lo be on Simmons, go to It cannot be found. This fact combined with the admiaslon of tha little girl that her mother sent her to bed after her father going for beer, will help Fuohs In his allegation that ha oommltted the deed because of the criminal intimacy of Bimmons.

To morrow Coroner Nolan will hold an inquest in tha Fifth District Court room. The polio are making 0bple arrangements to prevent a crush. Beside, esrs are entertained of an attempt at a rescue and lynching. Only a few will be admitted while tha Investigation is going on. AIT AIN WOOLOM.

He Claims to Hare Been Shot Through tho Head No Evidence of a Pistol Having Been Used at AilThe Police Think tha Wound was Made With an Ice Pick. What Dr.

Griffin Says About It Tha Besult of a Barroom Fracas in Hudson Avenue. Yesterday afternoon Willifim Sheehan, of 67 Hndson avenue, a bartender employed In the liquor saloon of Michael O'Neil, No. 143 Hudson avenue, was; arrested by Offioer Doyle on a ohargo of felonious assault. He is aooused by a man namod Michael Farrell of having shot him through tho head in tho liquor store mentioned, at about three o'clock yesterday. Farrell, who resides at the corner of Sands street and Hudson avenue, hsd been on a spree for a oouplo of days, and went Into O'Noll's store to get a drink.

He waa very drunk at tho time, and O'Neil told his two bartenders not to give Farrell any more than one drink, and then to send him home. Sheehan waited on him and gave him ths drink ho asked for, bnt refused to give him any more, at whioh Farrell became angry and abusive, and Sheehan went outside the bar to put him out Farrell said he wouloV not go out, and he de fled any one to put him oat, at the same time advancing to meet Sheehan, who was approaching him for tha purpoao of putting him out. Farrell oltnohed with Bhoehan, and struok him several times, and during tha struggle both men fell agalnut red hot stove in the oontre of the bar room and noarly upset it, tho stove pipe was aU knooked away, and it was a wonder that the place wasnt set on flro. Sheehan managed to loose himself from Farrell's grasp, and ho ran round behind tho bar to get a club. Farrell followed him, and Sheehan selling a little billy which hung behind tha bar, STRUCK FAUBELL BEVEBAL XTMX8 and the other barkeeper, a boy of seventeen or eighteen, also hit Farrell, as Is supposed with an Ice pick.

Finally FarrcU was orerpowsred and was thrown out of the store where he lay on tho sidewalk bruised and bleeding freely from two wounds on the head. The police finding him, heard his story. Ho ohsrgsd tbat William Sheehan had shot him, and the wonnd certainly seemed to prove the correctness of Farrell's statement for It appeared as though a bullet had entered his right temple and had passed olear through his head coming out exactly opposite on the other aide. The barkeeper, however, swears tbat no pistol was used, that the wounds were Inflicted with the blows of the club or else with tho icepick used by the other barkeeper. The police flaw O'Neil and all the peoplo in the house snd not one of them cither hoard or saw a pistol used.

Sheehan was looked up In the York street Station House, and Farrell was conveyed to his residenoe where hs was attended by Dr. John Griffin, of No. 08 Sands street. Dr. Qrlflla gave it ss his firm belief that Farrell hsd been Bhot.

A BEMABKABLE WOUND. Tho doctor further states that ho probed the wound so deep that ho was Bfrald to probe it any furthor. Now In view of all this it soom.i remsrksblo that a bullet could have passed clean through Farrell's brain and yet not kilt him, and it Is this fsct moro than any thing else leads Captain Worth to tho belief that' tha man could not have been shot. As It wsb supposed last night that Farrell would die, Father Keegan was sent for, and he administered tho last rites of the church. He, too, saw the wound, and is amazed at It, and whtlo he can hardly bollevo the man wss shot, yet is puzzled as to whst sort of a wound he 1b really suffering from.

Ad ice pick might havo boon driven into Farrell's skull, and would havo Inflicted a wound similar in appearance to thoso that the man has, but it would bo remarkable, to say the least, that had suoh a weapon been usod two wounds so similar and exactly opposite to each other, on elthor tomple, should have boon inflicted. A pistol bullet would hsve made the wound, too, and Dr. Qriffln's belief that It did oause it 1b founded from his having probed ao far Into tho man's head. Farrell doesn't seem to be much the worse for it, auy way, for this morning ho wsa better than he was last night and converses esslly. He still clalmB that Sheehan shot him, but refuses to make a charge himsolf.

Sheehan was brought before Justice Walsh this morning and the oharge of felonious assault was preferred by Officer Doyle. The Judge committed him to jail to await the result of Farrell's Injuries.

Parsons Against Brooklyn Officials. Tho Right of Men to bo Tried Where the Causo of Action Arises Inviolable A Clear and Weighty Opinion. Two weeks ngo Genoral Pryor made a motion before Justice Barrett for a change of vonuo from New York to Brooklyn, in the suits commenced In the name of tho State against Commisslonera Fowler, Bliss, Lowber and others. To day JuBtico Barrett rendered bis decision granting tho motion. The following is the text of bis Honor's opinion The People vs.

IFWltam Fowfcr and others. Before Judge Barrett. First The question iB not whether the defendants Fowler, Lowber and Bliss wero publlo officers within tho meaning of the statute, but whether they were such as are contemplated by section 124 of the cole. That they wero public officers In the latter senso thero can be no doubt. Thcfr duties were essentially publlo, and they were even required by law to take an oath of office and to furnish bonds for tho faithful performance of their duties as permanent Water and Sewerage Commissioners.

(Laws ot 1BG6, chap. 97, boo. 3). Beoond THE AOIS COMPLAINED OF where clearly done by these defendants in virtue of their ofneos. It was wholly from such oifices that they were denied the authority to do what is charged against them and that la tho test.

It la not a question of good or bad faith, and the proposition that the statute covora casos of neglect or Inefficiency alone, is not sustained either upon principle or authority. On tho contrary, it la now well settled that even where in doing an act within the limits or scope of his authority, tho officer exercises such authority improperly or abuses the confidence which the law reposes in him, be still ontitled to the protection of the statute (Brown vs. Smith, 24 419 The People vs. Hayes, 7 flow, 218; Sceley vs. Birds all, 16 Johnson, 388; The People tb.

Tweed, 13 Abbott, N. 419), whioh la directly in point and if decisive of tbls motion. Even allegations of malice and wicked combination will not deprive i publlo officer of the protection of such statute, (Row va. Sherwood, Johnson, 109,) and upon principle this Is the first rule; if otherwise, the statute oould always be evaded by a mere amondment of bad faith; e. that a Sheriff levied on A 'a goods undor execution against and did in bad faith, well knowing them to be his goods.

Third In one of the cases under consideration the cause of action arose In Klnpi County, and in tho other, some parts thereof; Indeed the substantial part thereof, arose there. Fourth The defendants cannot be deprived of their statutory right by Joining other parlies aa defendants. THE R1QHT IB ABSOLUTE and not a matter of Judicial discretion. If, therefore, public officer be lmplloated for acts done virtually and officially, the suit, ao far aa he la concerned, must be triod In the county whore the causo of action or some part thereof arose. Any other rule would tend to nullify tho statute, for It would bo aa easy to join other parties defendants as to plead bad faith, and that, too, without Intending to ovade, as, for instance, to join with tho sheriff's defendaut tho parties in the execution who directed or tho Indemnitors who upheld tho levy.

Fifth Lastly, we are asked to return those cases, because it 1b claimed that A FAIB JURY TRIA.li cannot be held In Kings County, but that Is no answer to tbo motion. Issue boa not beon Joined and we cannot tell whether thero will be a jury trial. For ought we know tho defendant may demur. The first thing to bo dono is to place the cases in tho county where by by law the defendants have a right to have tbem. When an lssuo of fact Is then Joined It will be time enough to Invoke; subdivision 3 of sec.

135 of the code. Mason v. Brown, 6 Bowsxd 481 is not any point, for the reason that issue had tlion boon Joined. But it Is an authority for the rule that ho in to change the place of trial, for tho convenience of witnesses can only be made after lsBue joined. The same principle applies to motion to change the venue because there Is reason lo Ddieve mat an impartial trim sail uo unu.

The motion to change the place of tiial to the County ol rung! most do gramoa. THE BARNES LIBEL 8CIT. P. Barnard Appears for Barnes and Asks Ten Bloro Day to Answer. The defendant in the libel suit of Adams vs.

i. Oarreaar Sixes Conspiracy at IPenitentiary. the The Plan of Forty Prisoners to Effect an Escape Fortunately Discovered A. Desperate Besolntion that Would Have Terminated in Bloodshed bnt for Informs tion Conveyed to Keeper Shevlin by One of the Convicts. A bold plan of revolt has been discovered among the prisoners at the Penitentiary, which, if it had been carried out, would hare Involved the butchery of the keepers by the oonspiring convicts, and tho turning loose of the latter npon the community.

Tho plot was discovered in tho nick of time; In sot, but a few hours before the revolt was to take place. The facts as far us could be ascertained many avennea of Inquiry being shut to the reporter are these On Monday morning one of the convicts at work in the shoe shop asked to see Governor Shevlin, saying that he had something of importance to communicate to him. He was taken before Mr. Shevlin, in the office, and there he told him something whioh must have startled him. It waa that forty prisoners engaged In the shoe shop had entered into a conspiracy to make their escape; that they had been PBOTODED WITH WEAPONS, and that they were sworn to strike down every obstacle In the way of their purpose.

The conspirators comprised some of the most hardened criminals in the prison, men who would laugh at murder. The Informer was to hare been one of the number, but his purpose failed him when the deed was to be done, his mind wss uneasy with the plottars' secret, and in criminal parlance he "squealed." Where did these weapons come from Mr. Shev lin asked him. Webber and Smith brought them In," answered the convict. What weapons were they Knives end pistols." Have the men got them yet Yes, they have got them about their olethes." Webber and Smith, the persons alluded to, were ex convicts.

Both of them had recently been discharged from the prison, where they had been oonflned for burglary. When they were discharged they asked permission to work in the shoe shops, coming every morn ing at tbe time for beginning labor and knooking off when the shop was closed. The contractor paid them daily wages. Webber was meantime living with his folks at 42 Skillman street and Smith with his at 60 Canton street. These men, according to Hr.

Shevlln's Informant for the past week, hare been bringing knives, pistols snd liquor to the convicts with whom they wero associated in the shop. How this could hsvo been done, when the keepers are supposed to hold a rigid sur veillance over tho mon, Is something which the reporter could not ascertain. Nevertheless it was done as Mr. Shevlin found out when he sot about to corroborate the oonvlot's story. Monday night was the time fixed for the revolt as tho men wore marching from the shoe shop to the main prison.

AT A GIVEN SIONATj. thoy were to break ranks at a signal, rush npon the keepers, strike them down if they made any resistance, and secure the means of liberty. The signal was to be glvon by a convict named William Barkor alias Titus, who was sentenced for five years for burglary. Mr. Shevlin took prompt action after hear ing this disclosure.

Ho had the convict name to him the ring leaders In the projected revolt. He then quietly had them removed from the shop on tho plea that (heir services wore wanted in another department temporarily. The ringleaders were taken off by themselves, and there in the presenoe of several armed keepers thoy were searched. About a dozen pistols and as many more knives were found concealed about their clothing. Some of them bad the knives sheathed in their underclothing.

Thep were searched from top to toe, stripped to the skin and when the searoh was ever there wasn't a wilder set of men to be found sny where. Some of the convicts under their pants wore blankets, whioh had been cut and sewed to fit around the leg, and others had managed to obtain in some way other than the regulation prison suit, which they covered with the latter. Their purpose wss to leave their parti colored garments behind them upon emerging into the outer world. After the search the leaders were ironed snd placed in solitary confinement. The next step of Mr.

Shevlin was to get into custody Webber and Smith, who it was thought had originated tho oonsplrsoy. THE PROJECT WAS KHAED with the weapons gone from the leaders. Carrfamonti, the notorious Italian forgery, It is said, was zealously acting in furthering the plan. He is serving a term of ten years for attempted murder of a South Brooklyn liquor dealer. Welber and Smith, according to the informer, were to have assisted thorevolters from the outside.

Last night Officer Sftsaghnergy, ot Justice Blloy's Court, received a note from Mr. Crummey, the deputy koepor of the prison asking him to arrest Benjamin Welber, sliss John Williams, and Miohacl Smith. Officer Shaughnessy having had dealings with both of these men before, and knowing their haunts and habits, he was thought to be the fittest man to ferret them out. He had no difficulty in doing it. With Officer Shanley, be took thorn both in custody last night.

This morning they wero both arraigned bofore Justico Riley. Smith was discharged from custody, the Judge saying that he had no evidence of any kind to hold him. Welber was charged with stoallng shoes from the Penitentiaryabout twenty five or thirty pair and on this ohargo of petty larceny Justice Itlloy sontenood him to the Penitentiary for six months. Smith and Webber both deny that they were engaged in the conspiracy. Tho convict's word Is tho only evidence against It would appear to etand good, as there is no other wsy to explain the smuggling into the prison of tho PISTOLS, KNIVES AND XIQUOB.

Mr. Shevlin is going to make a thorough Investigation of the matter whioh may derolop facts which are not now on the surface. It is tbe first affair of tho kind which has happened under his administration, and he Is naturally anxious to probe it to the bottom. PERSONAL. Tkedweu, Mr.

Daniel M. Tredwell, of this city, lectured last eronlng bofore the New York Historical Society on "The Ancient American Colonization of Asia." Mr. Tredwell breaks sway from the moorings of scientific theorists, and maintains his position with rigorous arguments from the highest suthorltles, who have unwittingly contributed the materials for bis structure. The feature of bis argument is, that civilization never rests, but is ever in motion from east to weat, and that America gave a race to Asia instead of Asia to America. AK UNFOUNDED BUSIOE ABOUT RUBENSTEIK.

There was a rumor this morning to the effect that Bubensteln had committed suicide. There was no truth in ft.

As usual, several hundred persone gathered round the Jail and waited In rain for the murderer's appearance, and the story was then started that he had killed himsolf. MEW MUSIC.

Tho high wind which prevailed this morning early has dona considerable damage about the city.

Since 11 o'clock this morning tho operators at Police Headquarters received telegrams containing some of the facta. At 8 o'clock dvo frame houses whiob were In the course ol erection were blown dovra and foil with a loud crash. They were situated on Hayward street, between Bedford and Wythe avenues, and were owned by Mr. Joseph Hopkins, of No. 253 Bedford avenue.

They were three stories in height, and the damage done amounts to about $10,000. Fortunatoly, the workmen were not employed either in or about the buildings, and bo no ono was hurt. At half past eleven the roof of Mrs. Kate Kcegsn's residences the corner of Thirty sixth street and Third avenue, was blown clean off into tho street. No one was injured.

Damaso about $1,000. A frame shanty occupied by J. Eldort, and situate on tho vacant lots in Fourth avenue near Fifth street, was blown down from the edge of the ombankment, these lots all being low ground and ten or fifteen feet below the street level. As It happened, no one was in the shanty, tho inmates being afraid that it would succumb to the storm, from the lively manner in whiob the structure swayed when the gusts struok it. This morning a large chimney on the roof of Polios Headquarters fell with a crash, and cams near going through tho roof.

As it was, it knocked a largo portion of the celling down, and injured the roof itself to a considerable extent. Workmen 'wore sent for right away to make the necessary repairs. A frame building, usod aa a barn and situate on the Jamaica plank road, was blown down. From all the reports received so far, not a single por aon has been hurt. A Schoolbonse Unroofed.

This morning, about 10 o'clock, after the exorcises of the day had begun in Publlo School No. 28, on Fulton street, between Howard and Bulph avenues, tho greatest consternation waa caused among tho pupils by tho tin roof being blown off the west side of the building, tho storm having caught it and rolled it across to tho roof on tbo oast side with as much ease aa if it had been an ordinary sheet of paper. Between tho sohool roams on tho second floor and the roof a garret Intervenes, bo that no accident or damage arose from falling plaster. The presenco of mind of the i'rincipal and several of the teachers resulted in speedily subduing what would soon have become a panto among the Uttlo folks, who wero all safely removed from the school hoUBO and sent to their respective homes.

87 25 to A $10,800 FIRE. Some Frame Baildtnirs on Atlantic Avenue Well Out of the War An Icctlonal Corner Cleared In Short Or der Thc Jjoesos and Insurances, Just after six o'clock Jast oveniDg, the hard rare store of Moses Wolf, No. 451X Atlantio avenue, caught fire, as is supposed from the careless use of a match. In tho rear of the store wore a number of barrels and cans of kerosene oil, as Mr. Wolf dealt in oil andpampe, it was in the immediate vicinity of these barrels that the Ore first waa apparent.

Fire Marshal Ready's investigations load him to believe that a clerk of Mr. Wolf's named Lemofe B. Gregory, after lighting a lamp in the rear of the rtore carelessly threw tho unextinguished matoh down on the sawdust. Mr. Gregory waa present at Fire Marshal Kcady's office this morning and eworo to the fact that ho had lighted soveral lampe In tho etoro and that the last one that he lighted was In the rear and near to tho row of oil barrels.

Ho said "I threw down the match on the cannot Bay whether the match had gono out or not. would not be positive that my throwing that matoh down oansed the too, and I would not be positive that It did not. I know that I flint taw tho fire, and It commenced near the barreU and In close proximity to whoro the matoh was thrown by mo." There la hardly any question but this was the origin of the Ore, for tho floor round the oil barrels waa covered With sawdust, and this was more or less Baturated wllhkorojone, consequently it would easily have ignited had a Bpaik oven been dropped upon It, THE FLAMES BPBEAD with great rapidity, for as soon as the oil barrels caught and the oil within them became Ignited it ran aU over the place.

Ferrym aster Coffee relates a different story, and one which hangs together better. He states that at midnight last Sunday a party of five colored men came toward the entrance to the ferry on aide where the Grand street boats put in.

They were apparently intoxicated, and were singing In a boisterous manner. One of them was about psying the fare when another told him not to, but to get drinks for the money. This proposition met with a hearty response, and the men went up the street to a lager beer saloon. About a quarter of an hour later they came back, and two of them tried to get in without paying. Hr.

Coffee would not let thsm. Ons of tho two men then struck him on the face, and while attempting to repeat the blow Gatekeeper Flood came behind the assailant and struok him several blows. He then got out of the ferry house and assisted Flood. The oolored man fled. About fire minutes later two of them quietly paid their fare and passed on to the boat.

A little while after two of their companions entered through the gate and went to the entrance door to Mr. Coffee's office and attempted to strike him. He caught up a stick and struck one of them. Flood again came to his assistance and the men were driven off. An offioer appeared at this Juncture and four of tbe colored men were arrested and taken to the Fifth Precinct Station House.

Only one of them was held. This morning ex Judge Yoorheca appeared for tbe complaisant. Judge Elliott adjourned the case for a hearing at a future day. SALARIES. Supervisors' Committee on the Coantr Payroll The Commisslonera of Charities and tne Keener of the Penitentiary.

Supervisors McDonald, Phelps, StUwell, Sexton snd Nsthan, of the Special Committee ot the county payroll, met yesterday afternoon. Commissioner Norris, President of tho Charities Board, appeared before the Committee snd explained the functions of the various employes of their department. Thoy had a counsel to attend to bastardy and abandonment cases. He couldn't ssy how much money was collected in a year from thlB source. The Treasurer of the Board could give them that information.

Tho General Inspector of Supplies waa engagod In inspecting supplies delivered to the Commission. ThtB position was created by an act of the Legislature and was nooessary ior weir protection, as a very large amount of money spent for supplies was charged agaiuBt them. They knew from past experience that thoy noeded an inspeotor. The salaries of tholr employes was much lower than they used to be. Mr.

Michaels' salary was cut down from $2,500 to $1,800, tho Superintendent of the Almshouse had his salary cut aown to ana bu witn tne otaers. Sun. Phelps It was consoling to Bee that at least one ol tho departments had cut down salaries. Com. Norris Mr.

Ostrandsr, my olerk, hsd his salary cut down. He did more work than three clerks. AU the clerks were kept hard at work. Wo are so short banded now In the relief offices that in my case I am obliged to ask tor volunteer help outside. We have to take applications from five to six hundred persons, so that our olerks are working until ten or eleven ciook at nigui aua are wuru out.

tun can easily see how we are hampered for help. I oould easily emnlor three or four more olerks than I havo durlns: the season of outdoor relief. I don't know how long the season wui last. It will last as long as the money lasts I suppose. The coal is now nearly exhausted.

Tho number of poor persons seeking relief has very much Increased this year. I think there ia all of a third more. Sun. Phelos What Is tho effect of taking the oath how is it working Don't you think the police oould assist you Com. Norris Well, sir; the Police Commissioners complain that they hare not enough of policemen to look after their legitimate business.

Sup. Phelps ir tne applicants were maae to xui too book, perhaps they would be less likely to swear falsely. tninK a goon syeieui ui vnuuiig wuuiu uouauuiu. Com. Norris If the Supervisors had not reduced our appropriation by taking off ten thousand dollars, we oould have employed some good visitors.

The number of applicants on our books is larger this year. 1 hsvo presBed ono or two men Into the service of my office. To Sup. Nathan Nearly every employe in our offioo has hsd nis salary out down. The salaries of the Commissioners fixed by law, and have not boon cut down.

Sup. Nathan If the Supervisors oould regulate your pay, would yon oonBBnt to a reduotion of your pay Com. Norris Oh, that question is hypothetical I couldn't answer It. The salsrios are fixed by law. They are little enough for the services we rsnaor.

xno Aiosra nf annnrviBora nila nt take tbe aueatiou of general shrinkage into consideration, and out down their own salaries. To Sup. Stllwell If we suspect the applicants aro not tolling the truth, we withhold relief until wo hare made a further Inquiry. Sup. Phelps You mako a difference between largo and small families? Com.

Norris we msjte a ainerence, Sup. Sexton Is the oath administered collectively imn. Norris As far aa I know It Is administered In dividually. I am not always down below where the oath is administcreo. Sun.

Phelps I nave never seen tnem swear tnom in platoons. VJOni. HOErm luu maj tea. aaaiuou, all the safeguards we oan employ are thrown around tbe distribution. I have had recently several anonymous ooinniuulcatlonB that unworthy persons are receiving relief, but we generally find that they proceed from vindictive psrsons.

Sup. Phelps I recommend to you, Commissioner, that you find a way of cutting down salaries. We aro here in the interost of oconomy. Com. Norris Yea, refoxni Is the order of the day.

I will speak with you some other time about our salaries. But I would like to say and have it recorded that there is not a department in tho city or county conducted as eoanomically ss the Department of Oharltios. Whilo the law docan't give jou gentlemen any control over our salaries, I ask happy to have been sole to give you information concerning them. This finished the examination ox uom. norns.

Farther Points About tho Trouble He is In. He Bases His Defense on the Fast Life of His Accusers What the Injured Husband Says "Only the Grace of God has Pre Tented Him from Tailing the Law ia His Own Hands" The Trustees Sustain 'Mrs. Morris Mr. Bell's Power Orer Her, etc. The charges preferred agaiiiBt the Rev.

Fred. Bell by Mrs. Mary J. Morris continue to bo the absorbing toplo in the Primitive Church communion. Mr.

Bell having stated yesterday to an Eaqlb reporter that committee of trusteos of his church hsd unofficially exonerated him on tho ground that hla accuser was unworthy of beliof, or, to use his own words, that she was "an invotorate liar," in that she had repeatedly contradicted herself, one of those gentlemen was called upon to day and questioned on this point. So far from Mrs. Morris having contradicted herself, ssld this gentleman, she had told a singularly connected and comprehensible story. In its essential details it had not varied the Blightest; and while thero might be somo minor points which did not harmonize, this was readily explainable by tho fact that her enf eeblod condition rendered her at times highly excitable, and unable to control hex feelings. The Trustees were moving in the'matter of the Investigation carefully and considerately, seeking to elucidate the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

No matter who was injured, they proposed to sift this matter thoroughly. In a few days they would secure legal assistance, and reduce Mrs. Morris' statement to writing. They wore satisfied that thero were tangible grounds on which to operate, and thoy would leave no effort untried to get at the real facta in the case. MB.

BELL'S POSITION. The Bar. Mr. Bell assured the reporter this morning that he was firm in the faith that he should be wholly and unspottedly vindicated from the aspersions which had been sought to be oast upon him. He confessed to an utter loss of ability to comprehend what tho whole thing meant.

His friends told him IX WAB BLAOK MAIL, hut he oould not believe that. The woman's husband had expressed himself very bitterly toward him (Mr. Bell), beosuss greater attention had not been paid himself and wife on the part of the pastor but this surely oould not afford sufficient reason for the courso they bad pursued. The feeling in the church, occasioned by his resignation, also addod fuel to tho flame yet his resignation and the publicity given the scandalous rumors occurred only by coincidence, and wero not in any wise connected. Of one thing he was certain, ho had the whole history of tho woman's psst lifo in his possession, and he was seouro in his vindication through, that.

Further than what he had already said he had nothing to add. The goneral denial ho had made covered everything. For the rest the investigation would disclose his defense. THIS HUSBAND INTEB VIEWED. Mr.

William J. Morris, the husband of the lady whoso name has boon unpleasantly associated with that of the Rov. Mr. Bell for several days past, has endeavored, as he himself Btated, to bear himsolf aB a Christian through the trials whioh have enoompassed his household. He is a mombor in good standing of tho Park avenue Primitive Mothodlst Church, having experienced a change of heart and identified himself with that communion under tho ministrations of Mr.

Bell in tho early part of January 1375, "It was a glorious good day for me" said Mr. Morris to tho Eagle reporter this morning. "And it has been a very bad ono tor me," ho addod as ho recapitulated in rapid succession the ovontB which led up to tbo suspicion and final confirmation of what ho termed tho villainy of tho man whom ho had revered as his spiritual advisor, and upon whom he hid relied as his pastor and friend. His wife, Mr. Morris stated, had beon a confirmed In valid somowbst more than a year.

She was st prosent under tho care of Jr. Torhuno, of Clermont avenuo, who had pronounced the case a hopeless one. At tho time, however, whon tbo alleged Improper proposals wore made, she was able to do her housework, was constant In her attendance at church, and bade fair to llvo many years, though she was by no moans a strong woman. Ho had learned that Mr. Bell was in the babit of visiting at his house during his absence, with dlsploasure and' this had beon Increased by tho fact that his wifo evidently labored under the incubus of some terrible weight upon her mind a something which destroyed her happluosa and broke her down completely physldalfy.

Ho had hoard fragmentary rumors of things disagreeable, as between his wifo and Mr. Boll; but had paid little attention to them, and it wss only at the beginning of the present year that he had been fully apprised of the baseness snd treachery whioh had beon enacted nndor his roof. By the graoe of Qod ho had been cnsbled to bear tho blow with comparative calmness. He bolievod in bis wife thoroughly that she was pure and Innocent of all wrong doing. This and tho principle by which he had abided since ministering with tho church, hod enabled him to refrain from taking tho law into his own hands.

Up to last Sunday he had acted as ushor st the Academy, but ho could do so no longor. FUBTHBB STATEMENTS FBOM MBS. MOBBIS. Mrs. Morris waa somewhat stronger this morning.

though her strength evidently came from oxcltoment than anything else. Her grief was intense that Mr. Bell should hsve publicly branded her as a liar, and that sho should have been, represented sa seeking his society. I never wanted to see hlm" Bhe said, in a vehement manner. "I nover wanted to see him, sna wnen no had insulted me so grievously, I turned upon him snd said to him, 'Mr.

Boll, never darken my doors sgalu so long as you live when. I am and he never is." 'Mr. Bell states thst you denlod the obarges before the trustees on the oooaalon of tho Interview of which you spoke yesterday; is that bo "It Is not so. It is the truth that I atnrmea, sua ne dared not look me in tho eye and say it was not bo." "Diu you deny anything at all 1" "Not deny. I assented to a ststement he made which was not true.

But ho forced me to It." "Can you recall that statement "I hardly like to. But I will give it you as nearly as I can. When Mr. Bsu came to soe me tnst morning alono, he said to me that if I would Bay 'yes' to a statement he would make to the trustees, he would pack np right away and go to England but beforo doing that he would confess that he hsd said the things to mo thst I ssld ho did, and olear me with thorn. When ha come with the trustees ho asked me if I hsd not told him that a friend of mine had Bedaood me, and I nodded my head yes.

I nover should have dono if if I had stopped for a moment to think. But ho had such power over mo I was forced to do it." It come out further in conversation that Mr. Bell had beon accused at this Interview with taking improper liberties with another lady member of his flock, and that he replied "That it wouldn't take much for any man to go thero." Both sides aro confident of their ability to prove their case. That tne trial wui oe luienBoiy interesting tuoro Is little question. AS ALLEGED DISHONEST DOMESTIC.
