loutu WHILE AT THE SUPPER TABLE. NOT TO BE HANGED. ALL MIXED UP. WHAT THEY SAY MUNICIPAL. SHERIDAN, WALSH AND TYNAN.

Provisions of tho Extradition Treaty Between the United States and Oveat Britain. Special to the Eagle. Washinotoh, May 8. The question as to whether this Government will give up tho persons indicted for complicity in the Hie nix Park assassination case if England ahouldt demand thom grows moro and moro interesting, and the genera sentiment hero is that, if the EngUBh government should file a duly certified copy of an indictment by a court which it could bo proved had jurisdiction and power to try a man for murder, tha United States could not refuse to give up the alleged criminals. Lawyer Charles H.

Reed, who Is interested in thoso cases, said to your correspondent to day that ho had read tho treaty very carefully, and it provides in express terms that such a courso shall be pursued, with the provision that tho Secretary of State may talo ultimate jurisdiction in tha matter. Said Mr. Boeu "When we give up the men England can try them for any crlmo not mentioned in the indictment, and in Great Britain alono is vested tho right to say whether offenses committed on her soil aro political or not. If a demand is mado upon us accompanied with a certified copy of an indictment for murder wo must give up tho mon." It is a curious fact that our treaty with Belgium iB tho onlyonoin which there is a distinct provision specifying that charges against a criminal must be accompanied with certified copies of the evidence against Mm, and furthermore, that ho Bhall not bo tried for any other crime Police bill passed through both houses, was recalled from tho Governor and altered so as to order a special election, to give the peoplo a chance to vote upon it. This was the Governor's suggestion.

The bill was defeated by Mr. Henry and tho Speaker. Among other MIIb thero was tho Mechanic's Lien Law, in the Interest of the laboring classes, which I had favorably reported to the House, but which, tha Speaker disapproving of, could not bo progressed. A bill limiting tho legal hours for day's work for car conductors and drivers was, through the influence of the Speaker, sent to tho Judiciary Committee to bo killed, as was also the fate of Woman's Rights bill. A bill authorizing tho formation of companies to loan money on personal proportp, to protect unfortunate people from the rapacity of pawnbrokers, similar to the law now successfully operated in cities in Massachusetts, was also reported favorably but not reached in tho House a bill in relation to conferring tho Bame jurisdiction on police magistrates in Brooklyn as that conferred on polica magistrates in Now York, and another to turn over all fines imposed In polico courtB to tho city treasurer, both pasaod tho House, ono of which I got Mr.

DeWitt to introduce, and the other I had reported from tho Judiciary Committeo as a committee bill. Both bills I think aro now in the hands of tho Governor. In addition to these I Bought to pass a bill allowing the property owners on Van Buren and Quincy streets upon a petition of the majority of the owners to have some alx blocks in all on both streets graded and paved, at the expense of the owners and to be naid for in four annual installments. That bill was reported favorably, but by lho influence of Mr. Honry, actiug for Mayor Low, it was one timo killed, then resuscitated, and when tho Legislature adjourned was on goneral orders.

Anothor, and perhaps the moBt important to tho City of Brooklyn, was the substitute for the Flatbush avenue extension to the bridge, providing for an outlet differing from the Flatbush avenuo. scheme in this: that the new avenue went direct to the business heart of tho city, and would not divert business or lines of travel away from tho public buildings around tho City Hall, the banks, places of amusement and stores in that locality. It was not a scheme whereby the city would bocomo liable for a debt ranging from $3,000,000 to $6,000,000 for tho benefit of A PARTICULAR RAILROAD CORPORATION and a ring of real estate speculators, who would not bo taxed ono dollar for tho benefits they received, and whereby peopla in tho Twenty fifth Ward, who had been denied tho right of paving their Btrects at their own expense, would be compelled to as Bume part of a heavy debt for an improvement which would not only be of no benefit to thom, but would be absolutely injurious to that section by diverting improvements to another quarter of the city. It was Introduced as solving, in the only equitable manner, the question of an avenue from the bridge to the heart of tho city and making tho property which would bo highly benefited by the improvement bear part of tlio expense, and, according to the principles of homo rule, was fonnd In Speaker Crispin's desk looked up, as he said, at the request of a member. But it bad no right there.

My opiuion la that there was not sufficient machinery at the clerk's desk to handlo bills, and it was an easy matter to do away with obnoxious bills." "What will ba the effect of tho rejection ol Mr. Martha "I think it will injure tho Democratic, parly. It has left the Board of Emigration Commissioners, as it now exists, a disgrace to the State, whon they could havo reformed its entire administration by confirming Mr. Mnrtha, a man every way fitted for the place. And I believe also that tha Democratic Senators mado such a record as will in all probability make the noxt Senate Republican, I haven't time to enumerate much, but they defeated the Grain Elevator bill and left tho mouth of tho canals in tho grip of a monopoly.

They also defeated the Pilot bill and left the prosont pilotage fees to tho detriment of tho commerce of tho port. I wish to add to the bills I secured the passago of, tho bill now with tho Governor to prohibit tho building of auy railroad on Sixth avenue in thiB city. No road can bo built under tho General Railroad act or otherwise, there and the peoplo on that line dou't want any. Senator Jacobs Corrects Senator ltuvnell. State Senator John C.

Jacobs was called upon by a reporter of tho Eaole this morning and asked to givo his views upon the work and results of tho lato Legislature The Senator did not care to go into tha subject iu detail, but he took occasion to refer and reply to somo statements made by Senator Itusscll in an interview published in theso columns yesterday. The conversation was as follows Reporter I notice by the interview with Senator Russell in last night's Eaole that ho says Mnrtha enuld havo been confirmed had you moved in that direction immediately on his nomination and before caucus action had been had by the Republican senators. How is this Senator Jaoobs I am glad yon have put this question to mo, for when I read Senator Russell's statcmeuf I was so much surprised that I believed he had beon misre portei And yet the ulut omen is so well connected that I think he must have made it, perhaps in a moment of for getfulncsB of the facts and of his own connection with the matter. Whon the nomination reached the Senate I immediately took the floor, and after a few remarks complimentary of tha nominee moved his confirmation. Mr.

Grady, after a violont spooch, moved a reference of the nomination to tho Committeo on Commerce and Navigation, tho chairman of which is Mr. Trtanor, a Tammany Senator. Senator McCarthy and other Republicans promptly seconded this movement, and it was soon evident that tho arrangement was pretty noarly complete, and that Immediate confirmation was out of the question. I thon movod to amend by a reference to the Finance Committeo, which was supposed to bo friendly to Mr. Murtha; Here the line was drawn and my motion prevailed by a vote of 1(1 to 15 and Mr.

Russell voted with tho Tammany Hall Republican combination. All this was before any caucus was held, or any binding obligation at least one RepublicanMr. Lord voted with me. It may be asked why, with this IB to 15 vote, confirmation was not had. For tho simple reason that Mr.

Browning and Mr. Lord, who voted with me, would not have votod for confirmation, while they favored a friondly reference, I hope this statement will ond all talk on the subject, both by those who do understand it and will not tell tho precise truth about it, and by those who don't understand anything at all about it, but preteud to know much moro than those who do. The Visit of a Burg lnr to a House OH Clifton Plncc. As Mr. George W.

Hart and family wero i supper last evening at No. CttCton placo a bargltt entered tha house and was ransacking the bed rooms when Mr. Hart discovered that some one was in tbA house, and with his wifo and nephew, James A. Mcill, began to mako a search. Mr.

Hart saw the burglar at tho front bed room window. He sent tha servant glrj for an officer. Tho nephew, fearing tho burglar wouia Jump out of the window, broke the door open, wliicli was locked, and caught tha depredator Just as ho wai going out of tho window. Ho resisted, but Mr. Hart and hiB nephew wore too much for him, and ha was compelled to submit.

The BrooMyn Exhibitors and Their Thoroughbred Entries. Seventh Annual Bench Exhibition of the Westminster Kennel Club in Madison Square Garden Nine Hundred and Sev entr Canines Yelping in Chorus. A "bow wow" from tho throats of 070 dogs greeted the astounded care of tho visitor at Madison Square Garden this morning. Tlie peoplo were not nu merouff, though tho canines of hih decree wero, And thoy made their presence manifest by a chorus that would have suggested the myth of tha Wild Huntsman of the air, wore the immortal Schiller alive and present to hear it. It was the opening canine chorus of the seventh an.

nual Now York Bench Show, which promises to eclips in many respects all previous affairs of the kind. Tha vast structure, which of lato was dovoted to Jumbo and his associates of tho "greatest bIiow on earth," was divided laterally into six broad avenues, tm each side of which the animals of tho various breeds, kinds and classes were ranged iu their comfortable compartments. Some of theso were decorated by all that tho artful Bkill cf loving hands evidently feminine bauds could accomplish. The arrangement of the various classes, la many respects, was such as to bo suggestive by contrast. For instance, ou tlie avenue at tlie extreme right of the building were placed opposite oat other ere, tures which denoted all hat Nature could do in uglinesi by way of ovolutiou namely, bull terriers, and thos4 that exhibited all tho old Damo was eapablo of in the evolution of grace aud beauty tho greyhounds.

And so it went great monsters like the smooth and rough coated Bernards facing tho humble bn humanly in. telllgent Scotch collies, the hugo English mastiffs that would fondlo a child with tenderness or give a burglar shaking up, contrasting with the gentle pointei or setter, and so on, THE JUDOINO began at either end of the building in sawdust rings railed off and surrounded or to be surrounded by raised for the spectators.

Ninth Precinct Patrolman (icneral Jonrdan Appoints an Italian Policeman. General Jourdan spent three hours to day in tho trial of members of the police force who are charged with violating the rules of the department. Although the force has never been in hotter shape so far as bcI pline is concerned, not a week occurs that a dozen or so of officers are not found napping. The moit serious case Investigated to day was that of Patrolman Thomas Dolan, of the Ninth Precinct. It was alleged in the omplalut that at 3 o'clock on Thursday morning last, when he should have, been patrolling his post, he was lying in a gross state of intoxication on the Bidcwaik in Spencer street.

The testimony went to bIiow that tho charge wsr well founded and Dolan did not niako any defense. Dolan has been on tho force for threo yeara, and untilthis occurrence hut record stood high ns a faithful and efficient officer. General Jourdan reserved bis decision. Patrolman James F. Burke, of the First Precinct Michael Broderlck.

of the Teuth, and Thomas King, of tho Twelfth, were proved to have been off post during their hours of patrol duty and weroeach fined two days' pay. As liurko Recms to be. on too intimato terms with tho liquor dealers in South Brooklyn, he was ordered to another precinct Patrolman Michael Byrne, of the Eleventh, was fined one day's pay for failing to discover that a burglary had taken plncc on his post. Patrolman John Dunne, of the First, and Patrick Fitzpatriek, of the Fourth, were reprimanded for neglect of duty, nr.d the charges against Patrolmen John Eeenan, of tho First, and Samuel Chichester, of the First, and Arthur Janicke. of tho Ninth sub, were dismissed.

General Jonrdau aiso took additional testimony to day li tho case of Sergeant Kirby of the Eighth sub, who was accused of having appropriated to bis own uso some poles which were found on the Bay Ridge shore, and for which no owner could be found. The value of tho poles did not amount to more, than a fw dollars, ftut, in view of tho standing of the oihce, the Connnis ioner has given the matter considerable attention. It was alleged that the Sergeant had tho poles sent to his brother in law's home, and lhat he failed to make any record of tho find on the police blotter. To day he tcatffiedtn his own behalf that lie had no intention to keep the poles, and that he sent them to his brother in Jaw's for tho purpose of preventing their being Btolen. The Commissioner lias reserved his decision.

An Adverse Report Likely to he Presented at To day's Meeting of the Board of Edu cation Why tlio Petition for More Money Will not be Granted. At the meeting of the Board of Education thisafternoon the committee charged with tho duty of recommending a rovlsion of the payroll will present a report.

They will suggest that the pay of the teachers bo hereafter increased not with exclusive reference to length of service. Tho schedule agroed upon by tho committee has already been published in these columns. It makes the position of teacher of tho lowest primary grade one of tho beat paid offices In the schools, and one which cannot be obtained until after a Bpccial aptitude for teaching children has been displayed. Among other matters referred to this committee for consideration is an applicatibn of tho principals for AN INOllEASE OF TAY. In 1872 the Board passed a resolution increasing the salaries of principals (hen receiving $2,230, at the rate of $150, until $3,000 should be reached.

lu accordance with the scale, the salaries of principals comiug under the rulo were finally increased to $3,000, and for two years these rates prevallod. In 1877, howover, the Board of Estimate cut down tho amount asked for teachers' wages, and this made, it necessary for tho Board to make a general reduction in tlio pay of it employes. Subsequently the salaries of the teachers were restored, but those of the principals have remained at the figures involved iu tho reduction. Sinco that time the principals haro been unremitting in their efforts to havo what they call justice donethom. They have petitioned the Board over aud over again.

Some time ago tho president of their association transmitted to each member of the Board a formidable document which, among other things, suggested tho adoption of tho following Jicsnired, That tho salaries of principals of schools, teaching all tho grades, now receiving $2,700 per annum, increased to $3,000 per annum, provided said increase bo recommended by the respective local committees and indorsed by the Teachers' Committee. That the salaries of heads of departments numbering 400 pupils or over, be increased to $1,000 per annum, provided tlio respective local committees and tho Teachers' Committee approve of said increase." AN ADVERSE REPORT. Tho committee have decided to report adversely upon the principals' petition. They take the ground that tho Board is already paying too much to those of the school employes who do no actual teaching. Tho amount appropriated for tho payment of teachers for 1833 was $814,742.

Principals aud heads of departments are receiving $108,480, and it is estimated that the work of supervising tlio schools costs nearly twenty five pur cent of tho outlay for salaries. A member of tho Board said this morning that Die duty of a principal seemed to be practically limited to selling books aud slate pencils that all a majority them did was to keep a general book out to seo that things were going smoothly. The fact that their labors are very light is, however, not the only consideration. For two months in the year they do no work at all, so that the committee fool entirely justified in coming to the conclusion that $2,700 a year is ample compensation. It is claimed that tlio committee, wilt find themselves outvoted in tho Board, tho principals having been industriously at work among members of local committees, "BLUE CRASS" AT NEWMARKET.

A Defection in the Tax Boll Heavily Mortgaged Houses on Greene Avenue An Engineer's Divorce Suit For the Bridge Approach Tho Johnson Temperance Scandal Other Cases in tho Courts Today.

Daniel Morrissey has commenced nn action in tho Supreme Court, Kings County, against tho Now York and New England Railroad Company to recover 110,000 damages. Plaintiff has obtained an order from Judge Pratt directing that the summons bo served on the defendant by publication or by personal service on one of its officers, at tho ofilco of tho company in the City of Boston, on tho ground that tho plaintiff resides in the City of Brooklyn, and defendant has no ofllco in tho State of Now York. This proceeding is, under the new codo, permitting a resident of this State to bub in tho Supreme Court a corporation of another State. It appears by tho complaint filed in this action that on November 10, 1882, tho plaintiff was in the employ of the Now York and New England Railroad Company as fireman on Engine No. 51.

While ruuuiug at tlio rate of twenty miles an hour, it collided with Engine No. 17 of tho same road near MiUville, while going from Hartford to Boston. Both engines and ten cars were ruined aud Daniel Morrisey, tho plaintiff, was severely Injured. Engine No. 17 was running at the rato of six miles an hour.

After thoy came iu sight of each other all that should have boon dono was douo by tho employes of each train. No. 51 was going from Hartford to Boston under an order received at Putnam as follows "To C. and E. (meaning conductor and onginecr) of 6T, 1, 54.

No's. 1 and 57 will cross R4 at East Douglas." At East Thompson No. 54 received tlie following order and E. No. 17 and C.

and E. No. 54 No. 17 will cross No. 54 at East Douglas," In pursuance of these orders No.

54 wont ou to the side track at East Douglas, and would havo remained thero until No. 17 had passed, if tho following order had not been received there "To conductor and engineer, train No. 54, East Douglas. Ames and Engr run sb a special ahead of No. fifty four (54) to Blackstone, and cross No.

(57) fifty seven, No. seventeen (17) and No. ono (1) at Millvtlle." This ia what is known as a double order. The conductor and onginecr of train 54, influenced by the fact that this order was addressed to this train, supposed that it must apply in some way to them. It stated that a special train would run ahead of No.

54, and they inferred that 54 would follow tho special train, and, as that train was to cross three others at MiUville, they supposed that 54 would also cross them there. It misled the conductor and ongineer, who started tho train, causing a collision by which plaintiff was injured. For plaintiff Morris Pearsall. Damage for Beliiff Knocked Down by a Horse.

A Defect in the 'fax Uoll. Tho suit of Thomas J.

Clarke against the City of Brooklyn was called for trial this morning before Chief Judgo McCuo in Special Term of tho City Court, but was put over. The complaint alleges that about 1875 tho Registrar of Arrears sold nino lots of land on DeKalb avenue, in tho Seventh Ward, for unpaid taxes and water rates. Tho land was assigned to Oliver Brisbin for $224.38 for the term of ono hundred years, with tho stipulation that if iu two years the owner of the land paid the assessments ho was to give up tho certificate of sale and receive his money back. Tho owner did not appear, and in 1870 the property was formally assigned to Brisbin for one hundred years. Tho plaintiff further alleges that the sale was invalid, the property being illegally assessed.

In Februarv, 1881, Brisbin called upon tho Registrar to convoy (lie property to him, but tho Registrar refused to do so. Rrisbm offered to return tlio certificate of but this, it is alleged, was also refused. Tlio plaintiff further says that Brisbin afterward assigned the property to Edward F. llutlard. liuttard also called upon the Registrar and offered to give him the certificate, if ho would pay him the prieo for which it was sold.

This proposition, It is alleged, was likewise, dor lined. Dullard assigned tho property to Thomas J. Clarke, together with all claims against the city. Ho asks judgment against the city for Corporation Counsel Taylor's answer sets up that the invalidity complained of appeared upon tho face of tho tax roll, the detect being that two of the ntistiHsoiv failed to swear to tiic roll as required uy law. Tho claim is that tlio payment was a voluntary one, and also that tlio plaintiff's cause of action did not accrue within Bix years prior to the cause of the action.

The Hon. Patrick Burns Criticises Speaker Chaplu, and the Hon. Mr. Earl Also Falls Into Lino Asseuiblymau Taylor's Views Senator Jacobs Corrects Senator Russell and Refers to the Tammany Be publican Combination. The Eagle of yesterday contained interviews with somo of tho Brooklyn representatives at Albany relative to the work of tha Legislative session and the part which they had taken in it, together with impressions of men and measures in general at tho capital.

Theso interviews are supplemented by expressions of opinion from Assemblymen Burns and Earl, who in their own way havo seen fit, among other things, to sharply criticise Mr. Chapln for his courso as Speakor of the Assembly. Senator Jacobs, in his interview with the Eagle, explains tho action taken upon Mr. Murtha's nomination, and has something to say about Senator Russell's Arm adhesion to the Tammany Republican combination. Assemblyman Taylor also joins in, and explains his legislative position.

AHvomblyman Burns. An Eagle representative seeking for local statesmen, last evening, fonnd Assemblyman Burns an ntercsted observer of the proceedings of tha Democratic General Committeo in Music Hall. "I have come to interview you concerning your actions in tho Assembly during the past session," said tha scribe. "I am perfectly willing to give you any information you desire," was tho response. "How many bills did you introduce?" asked the reporter.

"I cannot tell you exactly," was tho answer. "I suppose moro bills than I prevented, all my actions being governed by what I belioved to bo the desires of my constituents." "What were some of tho most important measures that you introduced that you can now recall 7" was next asked. "I introduced a bill equalizing the salary of firemen. It passed the Assembly, but was killed in the Senate, although I strongly urged its passago. I introduced a bill, which passed, for the purpose of allowing the city to sell some of its land.

It was purchased by the Board of Education for school purposes. At tho recommend ation of the Board of Supervisors, I introduced a bill allowing them to publish court calendars. It was defeated, certain papers claiming it was in tho interest of a local weekly paper. I also introduced a bill, which is now a law, for the purpose of selling old claims against the city for lands taken for city purposes. That is all I can now recoUcot." "What were some of tho bills you opposed, and what wore the reasons for your opposition 1" asked tho reporter.

I opposed tha Bedford avenue Improvement bill, because, it was placing a tampon the whole city, whtla I claimed It should ba a special tax. When improvements were made In my district, such as the sewering of Hudson avenue and tho repavfng of Bridge street, they wore made local assessments, not goneral. The Bedford avenuo improvement should also have been a local assessment. Tho improvement was especially for the benefit of tho poople of the Eastern District, toena blo them to drive to tho park, for which they never paid a dollar. I opposed it on general principles.

I opposod tho Mayor's bill to reorganize the Board of Education, upon tho ground that it was In the interest, I thought, of the party that ho claims to represent, and I thought educational matters should not be brought Into politics. Tha question should ba 2eft entirely out of politics. I opposed the bill recommended by tho Mayor for the cleaning of streets and the removal of garbage, for the reason it gave the Commissioner of City Works absolute power to award the contract with tho couBent of tho Mayor, by whom he was appointed, without counting the cost. We amended the bill and passed it. We made it mandatory for the Commissioner of City Works to give the contract, without tho consent of the Mayor.

I opposed the Flatbush avenue bill because the poople of my district living on tho line of the proposed extension were all opposed to it. I was also opposed to saddling tho expense upon the city, and I was against it because my people wero almost universally opposed to it. I opposed all bills appropriating public moneys for sewering tho city on tho same ground as I opposed tho Bedford avenue bill. I thought they should all be local assessments." "What did you thiuk of tho last Assembly as a body was the next quory. "I think it was as intelligent a body of men as haB beon sent to represent the State in the last nineteen years.

Of course, in former legislatures, of which I have been a member, they had very eloquent men; but as a whole, the present legislative body was a fair representative body." AN ATTACK ON SPEAKER OHAPDf. "What did you think of Assomblyman Chapln as a Speaker?" "I think that in my experience of nineteen years I have never seen in tho chair a man so biased. In fact, ho was the most biased man that ever presided there. I think he was moro interested in legislating for Austin Corbin and Mayor Low than in the welfare of tho poo plo he was Bworn to protect and Bent to represent. Chapln, on almost ovory bill relating to our city, cither shirked voting or refused to vote and whon he voted he invariably did so In tho interest of corporations.

Ou tlie most important bill tliat carao up during tho session, that was upon the repeal of tho law of last year known as tho Compensation, act, ho took tho floor for the only time' during tho session, and favored tho ropcal of tho Compensation act, in the interest of railroad monopoly and against tho people, Lindsoy and myself only voting against it. Tho poople can ba the best judges whether it was in their interest or in the interest of corporations. In almost every other bill relating to tho city, Chapln is not recordod. I thiuk he Is the most corrupt man that ever cursed tho position beheld." "What do you think of EarFs.bill to widen Adams street in couuoction with the bridge 1" I am not prepared to give an opinion upon it, as I havo not thought about it. I havo not been spoken to about it by my peoplo.

It should bo a question to bo settled in the early part of tho session of tho next Legislature. I hold that all the questions concerning rapid transit should be made an issue in tho next election of Assemblyman. Tho various projects should bo discussed by the people, so that tho next legislators can go to Albany with a defined purpose. That issuo was not raised at tho last election, and wo wero not in a position to act upon it. I hold wo should havo rapid transit.

It is inevitably coming, but the peoplo should first decido how they want it before legislative action la taken." 1 Is thore anything cIbo of interest concerning your actions you would like to say to tlie public 1 Nothing I know of. I did intend to write an ar ticle, but now that you havo interviewed mo I shall not do so, Much has been said adversely about our actions, and it was for that reason I intended to write about our actions and tho men who composed the Legislature." What do you think of Senator Russell?" I think ho entered into a corrupt combination ith Tammany Hall, and carried his points. I think ho went to Albany to servo Bussell Co. Tho Company, I think, is Chapin. His actions were moro.

in the interest of the firm than iu tho interest of tho people. His action with reforenco to legalizing the Bales of tho Knickerbocker Life Insurance Company, a bankrupt or ganization of which he was receiver and Chapin rof ereo, shows where the nigger was in tho fence. I had tho bill stopped and defeated it, and I think they lost considerable money by it. I think he would havo been better off if he had paid less attention to his own special business and moro to tho business of tho peo ple." It was Heury who was your most active opponent, was it not?" Yes. Henry threw his influence with tho Mayor.

There was an understanding between him and the Mayor whoroby lie was to work iu favor of the Mayor aud tho Mayor was to appoint his friend Ivins Judge in placo of tho late Justico Fishor. Ivins failod to se cure the appoiutment, but Henry was so far in tho matter that ha was compelled to follow the same courso clean througli. I declared him a rebel to his party and a Republican on tho floor of the House and insisted ho was a Republican to tho end. Ho is a Republican of the Mayor Low type, and in tho event of tho Mayor being re elected Henry will secure a place in his Cabinet." AN ONSLAUGHT ON THE MAYOE. "What do you think of the Mayor's action at Albany Ho acted the part of a partisan.

He is a shrewd, bright, smart politician and a very dangerous man. He aspires to fill a higher position and would sacrifice our1 city to accomplish his object. Ha was looking for a centralization of power, which I considered anti Democratic. I found he had a very able ally in Henry, moro so than in his own party. Taylor, a Itopublicau, op posed many of his schemes as did other Republicans, The bill reorganizing tho Aldermanic districts was presented by the Mayor.

I hear ho is opposed to it now becauso it does not centralize enough power in his hands. Thero Is very little ohange In the bill as it passed. Tho Arrears of Taxes bill was presented by Mayor Low. Before the Committee on Cities ho claimed it was in the interest of the city, and if passed it would bo conducted on business principles by the officials in the Tax Department. I find there has been an addition of 13 clerks, 12 of whom are Republicans.

That is good government, excellent business principles. He claimed when the bill was passed that no extra men would bo employed, that the work would all be done by the subordinates of the department. This is one of tha tldngs that will recommend Mayor Low to the citizens 13 extra men, 11 Republicans and 1 Mayor Low Demo. crat. The Park bill advocated by tho Mayor also failed to pass.

I thought it was unwise to give so much power to one man. It was too much centralization of power, aud so with the proposed change in the Board of Edu cation Mayor Low was opposed to my bill equalizing tha salaries of the rank and file in the Fire Department, yet ha favored increasing the salaries of tha liigh paid officials." Hy bill failed to pass the Senate, because RussoBiSt down on it at the request of Mayor Low. ThaUsSbo'vit aU I can think of now. Sinco I returned homo TJiave been busily engaged in my private busi ness, and so, many other things I might havo spoken of have escaped my memory. Assemblyman Earl.

The Eagle representative next songht out Assemblyman Earl. He found him lato at night at his residence on Quincy Btreet. Ho had jhst como back from Albany, having remained to settle up some private affairs, "I have come to talk with you about your ex perience in Albany," Baid the reporter. "I am glad to sea you," said the Assemblyman, "Any information yon desire I will gladly impart" "How docs the result of your first year's experience as a legislator impress you I have no reason to complain," was the response. It certainly has been as successful as I or any of my friends could havo reason to expect.

The first year is but a year of schooling at the most, and yet I have suc ceeded in passing moro bills whioh the interest of the district requires than my friends anticipated. How many bills did you pass I passed the Health bill for New TJtrcebt, the Coney iEland Polico bill, the Common Lands bill, tho Flatbush Police bill, tho New Lots Improvement bill, tha New Lots Annexation hill, the Release of the Old Railroad Lands, which had been abandoned twenty years, two bills relating to tho lease of the Broadway and Yates avenno roads, tho settlement the Oceau Parkway claims and the settlement of tha Surf avenuo matter, making eleven in all.

Another Fireman's Monninent Bridges Over Gowanus Canal to bo Closed. The work of Republican enrollment wtts continued to It was begun in April, when two days wero devoted to it, with results which wero far from being satisfactory. Tho enrollment is under the chargo of tho president, secretary, inspectors and Investigating Committee of each ward and town association, being carried on at tho usual headquarters of the association, or somo other place designated by those parties. It waB brought about by oft repeated assertions of would bo "reformers" that the associations were controlled by ward bosses, who would be deposed if an opportunity should be given tho Bo publicans generally to Join those organizations. Those assertions do not, thus far, seem to have been well founded, for tho simple reason that the enrollment has been a failure.

In April, In some of tho wards, not one application for membership was receiTcd. In tho Twelfth Ward, where factional feeling runs high, there wero 180 applications received, but tho highest number in any othor ward was 20, in tho Twenty first The Eighth Ward was among those which received more. From reports received in City Hall circles this afternoon, not much better results may be looked for from to day's work. In fact, thero is no interest excited in this matter by Republicans who do not tako an active part in politics, and the machine mon point to the failure of the movement as evideuco of tho utter route of tho "reformers." STREET JlEPAinS. Chief Engineer Van Buren and Assistant Engineer Bergen havo been engaged for several days past in tho work of examining thostrcots of the city In order to ascertain those which are in need of repair and tho estimated amount necessary to put them in proper condition.

They will report to tho Commissioner in a few days and will lay out a plan for expending tho $300,000 appropriated by tho Street liopair bill of Assemblyman Hodges. That bill is now in tho hands of tho Governor, but tho belief is it will bo approved by him before the end of tho week. It is understood that a fair proportion of tho moneys all be used to put Bedford avenue in decent condition. Tho property owners and other residents on tho avenue are divided upon tho question whether it will be advisable to resurface with asphalt, or repavc tho avenue with granite blocks. The former would bo the loss expensive.

Commissioner Ropes says it would cost $225,000 to rcpave the ontiro thoroughfare with granite. Ho will confer with the Mayor before taking action. THE OBJECTIONS TO PBIVATE BEWERB. The Commissioner of City Works is frequently applied to for permission to construct private sowers, mostly by parties living in outlying wards. Commissioner Hopes, speaking upon this subject safd': "I believe the sewerago in those sections wonld have been far more amnio than it now is had these demands in th past been moro frequently denied.

Heretofore it has beon the custom of the department to give the asked for relief by authorizing the running of a six inch pipe from one or more tenements to the nearest sewer, frequently several hundred feet distant. This being granted, no object exlBted among property owners to euro sowers of proper capacity. It would have been well for individuals and for the city had this practice never obtained, for if several houses have boon thus connected, and afterward transferred by the builder to difforcnt owners, who purchased under the impression that they had proper sewerage facilities', it but leads to dispute among thom and results iu appeals to this department for proper relief, which it is powerless to grant. Beside this thero aro two othor very serioUB objections to tin's modo of relief: first, owners are allowed to connect with sewers for which they had not been assessed; and second, that the connections not infrequently run into tho heads of sowers of limited capacity. Tlie demands for this class of rolief had of late become so numerous that I resolved upon the exercise of more caution in tho grunting of such permits in the hope that it would eventually csuso tho owners of property to construct sewers of capacity suitable for the requirements of present and future residents." FULTON STREET RAILROAD OB8TR0OTIONS.

Commissioner Ropes has received a letter from a business firm on tho easterly side of Fulton street, between Front and Water, complaining of tho increased obstructions in that portion of tho thoroughfare by tho running of the Seventh avenuo cars there. All the morchants along there say that it was bad enough when the Adams strcot line alone ran there, aud that the obstructions injure their business. The Com nissiouor has communicated with President William Richardson, of the railroad company, with tho view of ascertaining whether or not he can afford any relief. The Commissioner has visited tho locality, and says the complaints aro well founded. He has an idea that tho tracks, iustcad of turning sharply the corner of Front street into Fulton, might be extended across thoso of tho City Railroad Companv to a point about opposite tho Eagle office, and thence down; but the City Company would undoubtedly object to this on tlio ground that Mr.

Richardson's cars crossing their tracks would iutcrlcro with the progress of their own cars, one of which, iu tho busiest hours leaves tho forry evory twenty seconds. It is said that Mr. Richardson would not object to having tlio privilege of running his cars from Front street down Main street to Water, aud along Water to whore tho tracks would connect with tho small section of tracts he laid somo time since alongside tlio stand of the Jay street line opposite tho ferry house. This small section has now no connection, and tho opinion was expressed at the time it was laid that Mr. Richardson, with his usual shrewdness, was looking ahead.

NOTICE TO BUILDERS. Registrar McLaughlin says that, in order to accom modate builders and prevent delay to them during the present rush at his office, ho will receive moneys from them for bills for water for building purposes if they apply to him directly. This will onablo them to savo a great deal of time, as otherwise they would havo to take their places in the line with other water taxpayers. INTERRUPTION TO TRAVEL. There, is considerable interruption to travel on tho lines of cars which cross the bridges over tho Gowanus Canal caused by tho frequent opening of thoso bridges in order to allow vessels to pass through.

Tho great rush of travel on these lines is in tho mornings and cvonings, and to prevent tlio interruptions and inconveniences to which passengers have long been subjected application was mado to the Board of Aldermen yesterday. Tho Board adopted a resolution declaring it un lawful to open the bridges between 0 and 7:30 A. M. and 5:30 and 7 P. (except on Sundays), and directing the parties in chargo to keep them closed during thoso lioura.

ANOTHER FIKF.MAN'S MONUMENT. The members of tho Fire Department are to erect a monument at Calvary Cemetery over the grave of Charles Kccgan, who was killed a year or mora sinco whilo in the discharge of his duties as fireman of Truck Company No. 4. It will bo paid for out of a fund which Ib now being raised by each member of tho department contributing a cent a day. This mode of contribution has been in oporation for six or eight months, so that a considerable amount has already been secured.

Chief Engineer Novins has appointed the following eomiuittee to take charge of the erection of tho monument: Assistant Chief Engineer John W.

At No. 37 Steuben street last night John Fickels and Mary Sullivan, who both reside there and who had been drinking, quarreled about some trivial matter and Pickols struck her on the head with tho rum bottle and inflicted a serious wound. Both were arrested for being drunk and taken to the Myrtle avenuo Police Station, where the ambulance surgeon dressed Mary's wound.

She refused to make a complaint of assault against Pickcls. When she was in the cell she tore tho bandages from her head, bo tho wound bled afresh.

Berry and Trodden were both arrested at the time, but the girl failed to identify Trodden sufficiently to warrant Justice Walsh in holding him. Tho detectives, however, havo Bince discovered other testimony connecting him with the case, and he was indicted as stated. Justice Walsh this morning committed him to Jail to await tho action of the Grand Jury. THE NEW YOI1K ALDEKHEX.

Tho Cano of the Seventh Avenuo RchI dentM Agralnat Mr. Itlcliardson's Foreman Adjourned. Tho arrest of Thomas Finley, foreman of the Seventh avenuo Railroad, for laying a Bwitch on the corner of Flatbush and Seventh avenues on Sunday morning, April 22, has been fully published in the Eaqle. Somo citizens, resident on Seventh avenue, are trying to get Deacon Richardson, tho president of tho road, beforo the courts upon a chargo of "having violated tho section of the Penal coda which prohibits work on tho Sabbath. To do this Finley was arrested, as he superintended tho work, and the attempt will bo made to provo that Mr.

Richardson ordered the switch to bo laid. Tho examination was to have come off beforo Justice Walsh this afternoon, but owing to tho absence of Mr. William C. DeWitt, counsel for the company, Mr. Elliott, counsel for tho complainants, agreed to an adjournment until Monday next, at two o'clock in tho afternoon, A FELL SWOOP Upou the Reformers of tho Town of lVew Xiots.

Mr. Justice Cullen Explodes the New Police Board nntl Unsettles Justices Watson find Gertniii The Old Police Commissioners not Legally Removed. In the case of the People ex rel. "Walter E. Smith vs.

Emil Schlellein, Charles Oertum and William Shorlock, Justices of the peaco of Now Lots, and W. Wataon actiug as such justice, application was made for a writ of mandamus to compel tho defendants to meot and canvass and count tho votes cast for Justices of the peace on April 8, at the town meeting. Mr. Jus tice Cullen this morning granted tho motion with $10 costs. Ho sayB the constitution provides that justices of the peace shall be elected at tho annual town meetings, and it was held that a clause in the old constitution withheld from tho Legislaturo tho power to provide for their election at other times.

His Honor holds the statute of 1881, chapter 5G4, so far as tho election of justices of the peaco is concerned, unconstitutional. The persons therefore voted for at tho general election under this act got no titles to their offices, and hence vacancies existed to be filled at tho town meeting. Tho absonce of notice did not vitiate the election, and the votes should have been canvassed. As to the question whether the canvassers having adjourned si'no die can be now compelled to act, his Honor thinks tho rule applies where they havo totally foiled to canvasB the vote for an office It was not hero a question of erroneous action, but a total failure to do what was pro scribed by law. Tho writ is granted and proceedings pending appeal will bo stayed on tho respondents stipulating to argue the appeal at tho next General Term.

For rolator, WiUiam J. Gaynor for tho respondents, James C. Gilbert. THE NEW POLICE BOARU EXPLODED. John J.

Bergen iu an action against John K. Powoll, treasurer of tho Polico Commissioners of New Lots, applied for an order to compel Powell to deliver books and papers connected with tho office to him as his Buccessor, Judgo Cnllcn says that ho is of opinion that tho respondent was not removed by proper authority. Ho agrees with tho relator that tho power of appointment of polico commissioners was given to the Supervisor of tha town, tho president of the Excise Commission and to the Blngle Justice having the shortest time to servo. But the officer so designated was the ono now in office This was tho selection of a particular justice, and his term has expirod and ho is dead. If tho power was conferred on him as an individual, it had determined.

If it was lodged with him as incumbent of a permanent office, capable of continuous exercise, it vested in his successor. But tho removal was made, not by Buch successor, but by another Justice (Gertum) who nows happens to hold the shortest term. His Honor knows of no principle by which this power can thus shift from one Jnstico to another. Tho motion for a dolivery of tho books is denied with $10 costs, tho appeal to be argued at tho next General Tonn on stipulation. Tliis decision practically decide.1 that tho old Polico Commissioners of the Town of New Lots were not legally removed, and are therefore still Commissioners.

For plaintiff, A. Simis, for defendant, W. J. Gaynor. POISONING BY THE WHOLESALE.

The Result of Sciver tins in a New York Tenement Housre Death of Tivo Children aud Sickness of Others. Tlio officials at Sanitary Headquarters, New York, have unearthed, a veritrblo plague spot in West Seventeenth Btreet, whero sewer gas and tho exlialatious of filth have killed two children and thrown others on sick beds. Tho patients arc all in the tail tenements at No. 222 West Seventeenth street, front and rear. Tho houses swarm with tenants.

A case of suspected tophus that was reported at Polico Headquarters on Saturday last brought Sanitary Inspector Heinmallor to the place. He found five sick persons instead of ono all similarly afflicted with evident blood poisoning and blood spots ou the skin. On tho first floor in the front houso Adelo Ehcbnld, a child of 2 years, waB dying. In tho rear house Sarah McHale, a girl of five years, lay gasping her last. Sho was moribund whon Dr.

Hcin maller saw her, and died within twenty four hours, as did Adelo Ehebald, the help coming too late to savo them. Whilhelmina and Hermann Ehebald, aged 3 years and 14 months, were ill with their dying sister. Dr. Hetnmuller summoned Drs. Chapln and McChos ncy to his aid, and upon a thorough examination they said the sickness was duo to blood poisoning from Bower gas.

HIS IDENTITY FIXED. A Sequel to the Disappearance of Geo. R. RentKcn Fleeing to Kansas from his Creditors and Dying by his Oivu Hands. In the Eaole yesterday a letter to Superintendent Campbell from tho county clerk at Sedan, Kansas, was published, giving particulars of the suicldo of a man who went by the name of John Wilson and who was supposed to havo formerly belonged to Hempstead, L.

I. Attention was called to the fact that the man had loft $6,000 behind him and that tho fixing of his identity might be of interest to some relatives residing in this part of the country. Full particulars of the man's description aud other information wero given, which leave no doubt that his real namo was Georgo It. Item sen, a partner iu tho firm of Remseu Bor roughs, who some eight years ago Bold building materials in tho Eastern District. George W.

Adams, of Hampstead, who is a partner in the firm of King Adams, building materials, corner Kent avenuo aud Ross street, called this morning at Police Headquarters and informed Superintendent Campbell that he had no doubt that the John Wilson referred to in the letter from Kansas, was his father in law, George B. Bemsen. In July, 1877, he Baid Mr. llcmsen became slightly deranged in consequence of business troubles, ond, after drawing $2,500 from the Brooklyn Trust Company, disappeared. It was ascertained that he had gone to the West, but although his family tried in ovary way to discover bis whereabouts they were unsuccess ful.

Whon ho left it was uuderstood that he. was em barrassed in business in various ways, and lhat in con sequence of this ho was keeping himself out of the way, His wife died before his departure, but ho has threo daughters and two sous still living. As he has left a wife in Kansas, tho heirs will not have much to share between them out of his estate, especially as somo of his creditors have still some outstanding claims against it, Deceased was at one time well known on Long Island. Superintendent Campbell has communicated with the authorities at Sedan, and the property of deceased will not be disposed of until some of his heirs arrive there. SCHEMING HOW TO STEAL.

How Sonic Petty Thieves aro nobbing Druggiatg. Mr. C. Parrish, a druggist, doing busings at the corner of Henry and Orange streets, was adroitly swindled yesterday by a couple of sneak thieves, and ho writes to the Eaglk to warn his fellow tradesmen to be on the lookout. The Eagle has already done so by giving the particulars of the robbery of Dr.

Chadwick's store, on Court Btreet, last week. From what can ba learned, the same pair that operated upon Dr. Chad wick visited Mr. Parrish. They are described as being neatly dressed young men.

In Dr. Chadwick's case they entered Ms store and one complained of his eye and told Dr. Chadwick that thero was something in it. While tho Doctor was making au examination ho heard a noise, and looking round saw tho confederate in tho act of stealing a box of cigarettes from a case. The Doctor gave chase, but the thief ran and got on a Court street car, and the one who said his cyo was in flamed went in an opposite direction.

In this case tho larceny amounted to about $2 worth. Yesterday two young mon entered Mr. Parrish's storo. One of them comnlained of a severe toothache and asked Mr. Par rish if he couldn't put something in it, pretending all the while to bo hi great pain.

The confederate stood near the door, whtch he left open, and the toothacho man kept such a position that Mr. Parrish's back would be necessarily turned toward his confederate. In this case tho thief got off with a pound of vanilla beans and two bottles of choice extract. It will bo well for the druggists to ho ou their guard. Patrick Kenna, of Jersey City, while intoxi cated in Union street, fell last night and snstaiued a very severe wound over the right eye.

He was held for being drunk, after hia wound bad been dressed. leaving the question of steam roads through that thoroughfare witli the Mayor and Common Council of the city and allowing all other questions concerning rapid transit to be settled according to present laws. This scheme of tha Flatbush avenue extension was evidently, if one might judgo from the character of the bill presented to tho Legislature, long aud carefully considered, and yet its promoters at the closing hours of tho session sought to spring it upou tho Legislature and railroad it through both Houses upon tho plea that public sentiment demanded it, when the public really had no opport unity to study tho details of the schemo, nor to think of the results. In this Mayor Low must boar his full shsre of responsibility. Ho knew of tho scheme long beforo It was made public, and gave it his sanction, although by the terms of the hill any thoughtfn2 man may readily see tho danger tho city might incur Tvpon assuming or attempting to assume a scheme of such proportions, and issuing tho city's credit in order to carry it out.

But, if Mayor Low's champion in the Assembly is to ba believed, that was not the only schema in which tho city's debt was liable to bo increased, with the sanction of the Mayor, for on the last day of tho session, whon Mr. Sheridan's Bond streot Sewer bill was up for passago iu the Assembly, which bill provided that tho city should assume one third of the cost of the sowor, or a sum of $78,000, Mr. Henry assisted Mr. Sheridan in passing the bill, and claimed that tho Mayor approved of it Messrs. Burns, George H.

Lindsay, McCarren and myself and Mr, Hodges, a Republican, denounced that bill and fiercely fought tt, but the cry that tho Mayor favored it seemed of more weight than tho fact that it was de nounced as a groSB outrage upou the people who had honcBtly paid ovory dollar for the sewers iu their own localities." "What portion of your district has proved tho most troublesome to you Tho Town of New Lots has given me moro trouble than all tho rest of the district put together. The first trouble oroso ovor the polico question, and the original bill suggested itself to mo as the best way of carrying out a promise made to Charities Commissioner Van Siclon before election, that if I was Successful I would havo tho he then complained gave the Police Commissioners a life tenure of office, so changed that their form's would be defined and limited. After tlio bill had passed tho Assembly, a chango of tho Polico Commis sioners was affected by Mr. Van Siclen and his friends under the law complained of, and tho matter was then forced upou me as a party measure and I felt constrained to proceed Willi the original object in view. I tried to conciliate both factions, but instead they grew moro bitterly opposed to each other.

The bill was passed as a party measure, but when it reached tho Governor ho gave a hearing to both sides and concluded it wonld bo better to have the bill changed bo as to have the peo ple thomsclvos settle the question by an election. Tho bill was recalled, and in the Assembly a substitute embracing tho Governor's suggestions was ottered by myself, but Mr. Henry, representing Mr. Van Siclcu and those he represented, vigorously O2iposed any substi tute or any change in the law, which Mr. Van Siclen so bitterly denounced last FalL In consequence tho bill failed to'teccive sufllcicnt votes to pass it through tho House, lacking some six votes, and the Speaker, ruling iu Mr.

Henry's favor, the bill wob killed. In relation to tho Improvement bill and the Annexation bill I have tho satisfaction of knowing I have fulfilled my premise to the people of New Lots, for although there has been a great deal of strife I have passed both bills, and I believe they will be signed by the Governor, with tho view that the vexed questions of annexation, or simple im provements without annexation, shall be settled by tho people themselves. It remains now with the representative men of tho town to see that their official representative, Supervisor Jewell, shall express to tho Governor tho desire of tlio people that tho bill should be sighed. Should he do so tho Governor has intimated to me that hu will sign both bills without further delay." "What do you think of the Legislature ns a body "I think from my personal observation, and tho ob servations of experienced legislators, that the Assembly of 1883 has been on an avcrago moro conscientious, more independent and containing a better class of members than any Legislature for a number of years past. As to tho Speaker, I cannot agree with the opinion that he has been fair aud just iu tlio performance of Ills duties.

On tlio contrary, I think his rulings have been of the most arbitrary nature, and wero not consistent. Some of them, indeed, wore in direct violation of tha rules of tho Assembl He had a peculiar way of showing his petty Bpite by ignoring not only members but their rights aud whon he did not wish to do it personally lie would chose some member to fill the chair whom ho could rely upon to implicitly carry out his instructions without regard to the rights of members. 1 have often attended ward association meetings of both political parties in this city where the arbitrary rulings of presiding ollicors hnrc raised cries of indignation, and not only in tho ward organizations but also among fair minded men who read tho reports of such proceedings. Yet for the many years of my experience as a reporter of the Brooklyn press I never saw ono presiding officer who was over worso in Ids rulings toward members whom ha desired to ignore, or in.measures which ho opposed or favored, as the case might be, thau Mr, Speaker Chapin." Assemblyman Taylor. Assomblyman Tu.yl.or, of tho Tenth District, was asked what legislation ho assumed responsibility for, alid said "The principal bill 1 take any credit for is tho Police Pension bill.

I got that bill through. It increased the ten per cent, of the Excise inoneyB to tho fund to twon ty per cont. It is now in the hands of tho Governor. Then I got a bill through for tho benefit of tho county towns, allowing them to take the way for roads and highways in their towns by right of eminent domain. In tho cities tho municipality owns tho streots, bui in the towns tho adjoining owners own to tho middle of the road, and for that reason they can cause much trouble to improvements or intended improvements.

In Flatbush they stood in the way of tho Water Works Company laying their mains. Now, whon this bill is signed, they can go ahead with their works the same as in tho city. I also got a bill through regarding aliens. What is tha purport of it Well, it allows aliens who have declared their intention of becoming citizens to acquire title to property, leal estate, and to sell and dlsposo of it by will or otherwise. Those purchasing from thom acquire a legal title, tho same as from other sellers.

1 also got through a local bill placing Second avenue on tho map from Hamilton avonue to Thirty eighth street. It runs along tho water front. There wero a good many corporations opposed to it, and I was really elected on that issue. Willard, my opponent, owned a valuable dock front along there, and did not want any change." What is the effect of this bill "The offect Is that the streot can now bo continued across there. Gowanus Bay comes in there from Twonty Bovcnth to Thirty sixth at Third avenue and whon extended Second avenue will run across lots occupied by tho Saw Mill Company and dock and warehous ng companies.

First avenue is already on tho map and Second should bo also. In timo Second avenue will be built up as Third is now and be a business Btreet. I met with a great deal of underhanded opposition with that bill as, for instance, in my absenco it was twice referred back to the committee, but I got it out and passed." DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS. "What do yon think of the general effects of the session on Democratic prospects "I think, as far as Kings County is concerned, tnat the Democratic party did not injure itself by legislation, but the contrary. I think the members from the Eastern District could not see very far beyond Williams burgh.

I think it would have been to the interest of the Democratic party to have allowed Flatbush avenue to be extended, and it wouloV fcavo been eventually to tho interest of the City of Brooklyn. I think the party was not anxious to havo the Aldermanic Reorganization bill passed, and that they put on two or three riders with tho purpose of killing it They allowed some of their amendments to bo withdrawn in Committee of Conference, but when thoy left on tho City Hall keepership clause, and changed the Ninth Ward to another Senatorial District, thoy thought theso things were enough to kill it. But I think it is still a good bill, and one that will reqnire both parties to put up their very best men. I bcllevo that local politics have been so much removed during the last few years from partisanship that only the best men will stand a chance of election. That specially applies to those Aldermen that mn over tho city at large." "What became of the biH to compel the completion of tho Bruff road, or removal of its foundations 1" "I never heaid anything of that bill, and I shouldn't be likely to know what it was about from its introduction.

I never heard of it afterward. It was never on the printed files." "How about rapid transit in general 7" I will say this In regard to legislation to secure rapid transit for tho outlying wards of tho city, the Legislature of 1883 has been a failure. I want to Bay also that the Democratic party Is under great obligations to 8peakcr Chapin for his prevention of much hurtful legislation against Brooklyn." BTOLEN BrLUI.

Cecilia's Church. Rev. Florence McCarthy's Case in Court To day Justice Walslr Thinks ho has no Jurisdiction and Sends JIr. and Mrs. Cronin to the Grand Jury What is Said by tlio Father of the Young Organist.

Justice Naeher's Court room was crowded this morning. Tlie larger part of tlio audlenco were members of St. Cecelia's R. C. Church, who had gathored to listen to tho examination of Mr, and Mrs.

Cronin, charged by Rev. Florence McCarthy with disturbing religious worship at liiB church by using improper language and acting in a loud and boisterous manner. The alleged disturbance happened two weeks ago, during tho morning Sunday service, Mrs. Cronin publicly accusing rather McCarthy with insulting her daughter. When Father McCarthy denied this charge from tho alter Mr.

Cronin emphatically informed him that he was a liar." Last Suuday Father McCarthy referred to tho scandal in his Bermon, and said the Cronius were cowards to seek revenge in tho sanctuary. Tho scene, he said, well illustrated tlio declaration that the devil is continually on tho watch to entrap souls and stir up strife Rev. Father McCarthy was in court this morning with a new Buit of black broadcloth, a white necktie, new silk hat and a gold headed cane. Mrs. Cronin wan dressed in deep mourning, and accasionally heaved a heavy sigh whon sho looked in tho direction of Father McCarthy.

When tho case was called Mr. George W. Streeter, on behalf of the defense, said they would waive all examination and go before tho Grand Jury. Ho Baid the Court had no jurisdiction iu the case. Mr.

George H. Fisher, for the prosecution, maintained that tho mogis trate had the right to hear the case, and demanded that it proceed at once. Ho said Father McCarthy desired tho fullest possible examination of tho matter. Mr. Streeter said that Father McCarthy was taking unfair means to promote the interests of his case by referring to tho matter in church.

Ho said it was evident that the harangue, last Sunday had not had its effect. Justico Naeher said the Penal Code declared the of fonBC a misdemeanor, but the Criminal Code did not give the Court of Hioeial Sessions permission to try such a case. It was clearly, therefore, his duty to admit the parties to bail, if they could furnish it, and send the papers to the Grand Jury, WHAT THE l'OUNG LADY'S FATHER SAYS. Mr. Cronin, whon asked by tho Eaolf, reporter how he intended to auvver tlio charge for disturbing a religious meeting, replied "Well, I don't know about that.

Of course, I shall have to admit that I spoke out iu meeting, and my wifo did also. But sho could not help it. When she heard how Father McCarthy had insulted her daughter it made her almost crazy. I tried to have her remain at homo on Sunday, but she was determined to go to church. Sho is a devoted Catholic, and has always placed implicit confidence in her priost.

When she got to church and heard him saying tho solemn mass sho could restrain herself no longer, and in her excitement said what sho did. We know it was not tlie proper thing to do, hut I tell you, a mother who sees Iwforo her the man who has wronged her daughter does not always stop to consider tho proper way to act in tho matter." "Do you, thon, accuss Father McCarthy of taking other liberties with your daughter beside kissing her?" "Yes, I do." LAWYER TOMLINRON SPEAKS. Mr. John C. TomliuBon, of New York, who is also engaged by Mr.

Cronin as counsel, said that ho was very anxious to have the matter settled up if possible without going into the courts. He desired this for Miss Cronin's sake, who was a young and innocent girl. Ho should see Father McCarthy and And out what he pro posed to do. If necessary," said Mr. Tomlinson we are prepared to carry the war into Africa.

Wc havo tho girl's word against his that ho took improper liberties with her. We are prepared to go to court on that issue. As far as disturbing tlie meeting is concerned, of course wo are technically quiet, but under the circumstances no court would inflict moro than a nominal fine. The question is, Did Fathor McCarthy assault Miss Cron in Sho has no reason to falsify, bho is an innocent girl, has always had the best of homo training and for one, believe her story. If tho Bishop is tho man I think he is, ho will insist upon Father McCarthy taking this matter out of the courts and having an ecclesiastical trial.

This would bo better because it would bo kept from the public. You can't blame tho mother for doing what she did.
