THE BASIN SCHEME GETS FORMIDABLE. It Geea Tkrongh (be Heine Without the Slig blest OppOkltlOM. Special to the Eagle. Albany, n. April at Mr.

Magner'a bill to spend $350,000 of city money, assessed on the whole community In dredging out and constructing a basin with docks In the mud puddle now complying with Bushnlok Creek, passed the Assembly this afternoon after a swift course of travel to the point of passage. Mr. Magnet worked It gracefully through the Legislature without Its ever having a bearing or receiving the slightest public consideration. The Republican General Committee's Legislative sub committee, which saw deep peril in the Mayor's Improvement bill, enjoyed the pleasure of seeing this bill get 79 voles without the aid of its reformatory influence. The $350,000 Is to be raised on bonds In the usual way and the work will be done undor a commission including throe mayoral' appointoeB and the Mayer and Controller.

The Department of City Works must make a map of the locality. Thon application will be made to the Supreme Court for the appointment of a commission to condemn land, though soroo five hundred feot of front belonging to the Charles Pratt part of the Standnrd Oil Company Is exempted from seizure. About five thousand foot of water front Is designed to be thus improved at common expouse. The cost of a thoroughfare around the basin is assessed on the adjacont localiry. This bill went to a third reading on an announcement that it had Mayor Chapiu's approval.

Albany, K. April 54. Senator Worth's bill iu relation to Leo and Nostrand avenues became a law to day by the expiration of the time limit. The Governor caused the following memorandum te be filed with the Secretary ot State accompanying the bill Statk of New 'ork, Bxsoutivb Chamber,) cAlJUMY, N. April 2i, 18Sa Memorandum" filed with Senate bill No.

233, entitled, "Aa Act In relatlsn to Lee and Nostrand avenues la tbe city of Brooklyn," which not having been returned to the House Iu which it originated within ten days became a law pursuant to Article 4, Section 9, of the Constitution. This bill appears to belong to tbat class of special legislation which has, as a general rulo, received my disapproval. Particular streets ought not to be exempted from a general law by separate acts, but only by exceptions embodied In the general law Itself. It is conceded by all parties interested that the streots In question ought not lo be subjected to the danger of being used for railway purposes. The situation presents certain other features so exceptional iu their character as to Justify lu this instance a departure from my general rule so far as to allow this bill to become a law without my.

signature. But my action la this case Is strictly exceptional and Is not to be taken as a precedent tor further cases of an apparently similar nature. Signed David B. Hili. THE CLINTON B.

CRISP REPLIES From the "Members of Mayor's Cabinet. the To What Exfont They Snpport Mayor Wiapiii Some Are (iuarderl and Others SlraizhtrorwArd, but Schliemaun Hag Nothing to Say. The following was put to membors of the Mayor's cabinet (heads of tho city departments) to day: The Mayor has announced himself as being In favor of placing the Bridge under the control of three tru toes, nnd alio of givini tho Edison Electric Light Company pormis dnu to coma to Brooklyn without roferencc to tne Aldermen. Do you sympathize with, or antagonize theso propositions? The replies are appended: City Works Commis.lonor Alatna I sympathize entirely with the bridge proposition.

As to the oihor, 1 nm Indifferent. I do not like lo havo the hoir.o rulo principle violated If it can he avoided. IYilieo Commissioner Hell 1 am a part of this administration and therefore sympathize with the Mayor iu all his measures, believing, as I do, that he only nets after caroful consideration and for the public interest. City Treasurer Wheolook I think they are wise prepositions, btith. I am In favor of thom.

Tax Collector Swan I think, as I am bridge it Is uot fair for me to be Interviewed or to oxpress myself li. reference to either one of the propositions. That Is all 1 havo to say. Fire Commissioner Ennis I havo not exajiinod the bridgo proposition sufficiently to express an opinion. As to the Edison Company proposition, tho p'rlnclple of homo rule, which we havo all advocated so strongly, requires that such matters be left with the local authorities.

On that account, ai tho principle of home rule la involve) I do uot favor tho proposition. Register of Arrears As an official these questions do not concern me. As a citizou I favor them both. Excise Commissioner Cunningham I am willing to trust the affairs of the city in the hands of the Mayor. Excise Commissioner Schlieraaun I have nothing to say.

Commisslouer Grifflu 1 am not familiar with the necessities of the city iu the two directions indicated. I have not gfvou any especial consideration to trio subjects, and, therefore, prefer uot to express any opinion. SHE WILL APPEAR. A. Convent Girl Cannot tin Prevented From Tosfif yiii f.

Mr.

Jere A. Wernberg, who appeared for Uhlig, had tho trial postponed on the ground that his client had not beon arraigned on that particular indictment beforo. An affidavit by J.

A HUSBAND'S LIFE. The Widow Sues ihe Company In Whose Employ He Was When Killed. On the 25th of June, 1887, Heury Nichols and a mail named White were engaged in mending ono ot tne stills at the Bush DonBlow oil works, at First avenue aud Fortieth street They were inside the still riveting ou a patch of boiler iron. In some way tho gas flowed back Into tho tank and ex ploded, killing the two men. It Is supposed the gas was Ignited by the red hot rivets the men were using.

Nichols' widow, Mrs. Bridget Nichols, brought an action for damages agulnst tne Bush Denslow Company for the loss of her husband. It was claimed that the company was negligent Iu not providing proper appliances to prevent the flow of gas back Into tho still. The defense Is that such appliances did exist, and that If there was any negligence it was the work of employes. Carpenter Roderick appeared for the plaintiff, and llascall, Clarke Vanderpoel for the defense.

The caso Is still oa. MARY FORGAVE HIH.

"Did you do that?" said the Justice. Patrick said nothing, but looked like a convicted culprit "I don't want to punish him, Judge," said Mrs.

Connolly, "and If he'll promise to do right by mo from this out I'll let him off." "Do your hear that, Connolly?" said the Justice. "Yes, Your Honor. I'll promise to do better." "The case Is dismissed, then." Patrick and Mary went off together apparently reconciled. WHY ANN WAS LET GO. She Admitted the Larceny, bnt the Police Could lVot Hold Hen A.

Sergeant Smith, wno was at tbe deaK in the Flushing avenue Sta tion, refused to hold the woman, as she was not detected In the act of stealing by tbe policeman who had her in charge. The mistake was lu the officer not having Mr. make the arrest and hand har over to him.

The woman profited by the blunder. ANOTHER EXCISE HKASUUE. Inspired by the course of the Brooklyn Excise Board in the King case and others a number of citizens have appointed a committee, consisting of Charles K. Hamilton, James E. Ramsoy, chair man of the Prohibition General Committee; H.

The Eagle of yesterday published the foot that Henry L. Mugford, of 218 Prospect avenue, bad begun a suit against Mrs. John Norrby, of 61 Second street, the widow of Oscar Norrby, who for several years had been the Janitor of the Long Island Historical Building Tbe cause of action was that the Widow Norrby had refused to keep her promise to marry him and he asked that the court award him $10,000 damages because of the Injury to bis henrL Mr. Mueford Is a familiar flauro In the Twenty second WaS. ne Is about flvo feet high, and al though he acknowledges that he 65 years of age, has coal black hair.

The whiskers which adorn hi chin are gray, and set off a complexion from which the bloom of youth has not entirely departed. Formerly he was engaged In the hop business In Now York, but for five years past ho has been out of business. Duriug the wintry days of Feb ruary he spout oorao of his leisure time in reading a publication devoted to the promo tion of matrimony, called Ctipitf. His attention was particularly attracted by an advertisement which set forth the fact that an English widow, with a competence, would like a life partuor. Ho answered the advertisement and was told that he would have to give his namo and address.

and subscribe to the paper for six months. This he did and ou the evening of February 6, was permitted to call on the Widow Norrby, at hor home ou Second street. The house is ono of a row of two story brick structures. A nicely kept yard leads to the ball door. Tho hnuso pleased Mr.

Mugford, and when he met tho widow he was completely fascinated. But perhaps the story of his wooing Is best told in his own words aa given to an JSaglb reporter this morning. "Now," said Mr. Mugford, "If I thought 1 was to receive all this publicity I would never have brought the suit. My lawyer assured me that the case would not get Into the papers, lluv It baa.

In tho first place, I nover proposed to Mrs. Norrby. It Is leap year, you know. You can draw your own in fereuce. .1 do not care to say anything about her.

If 1 would I could scaro hor out of Brooklyn; I brought the suit Just to' scaro hor: fiat was nlL I firt't met lrlr at her home on February 0 in answer to a matrimonial advertisement which she had inserted in the paper Cupid. On my first visit we bocaine very friendly. 3 1 remalnnd until 11 o'clock that r.lght. Aud after threo or four Thus sho proposed to me. I consented and named April 4 as the day.

She made nrranjremonts with the Hev. Parker for the nnd boult her wedding We did not oxchango many letters, as visiting was much better.

Who a Place at Coney Island. Red teary Dies in a Hew York Hos pital Tlie End of a Burglar Who Wat Well Known in Brooklyn. John Leary, better known as Bed to the police of this and other large cities, died last night at tho New York Hospital. On Saturday ulght ho was struck oa the back of the head with a brick thrown by William Train, a Southern "crook." The Injuries ho received caused his death. Leary was a clever oriminal, recognized far and wide as a man of great nerve aud shrewdness.

Of late years he was frequently seen on the streots of Brooklyn and he claimed to be a voter in tho Town of Gravesend. During the last four or five years he was ihe proprietor of tho New York Hotel, a ono story frame building standing midway betweeu Paul Bauer's hotel and Norton's Point, at Coney Island. His barroom was often visited by Brooklyn politicians and sporting men, and althougb he had the reputation of bolug a desperate criminal, life and valuables were as sate in "Red's" house as lu more pretentious places. He took pride In tbo fact that men of wealth mere his best patrons, and It was a standing rule with him that any "crook" who might attempt to ply bis nefarious vocation In In the New York Hotel was to bo clubbed. Bank burglars with national reputations, bank sneaks, criminals of the first elass invariably dropped in at "Red's" place w.hen visiting the Island, but petty thieves avoided the house, knowing that their company was not desired.

Leory was a six footer, with broad shoulders, powerful framo, lurid hair and mustache and the muscles of an athlete. lugrowlng eyelids made Mm half blind at times, aud gave him a forbidding aspect To his familiars he was a Jolly, geuerous, absolutely fearless companion; iu the company of strangers ho was reticent aud circumspect In language. HewaB a manho would attract attention anywhere, but he disliked notoriety, and It irritated him when he knew that he was being pointed out as "Red Leary, the notorious bank robber." One day last year he visited the Sbeepshead Bay race course, and, after having a short conversation with Bob Plnkerton, the celebrated detective, walked la ttie direction of the rails that he might witness a ruee about to be run. As be was moving away a little hunchback pointed out the big fellow and said to his companion, in a voice which reached Leary's ears: "There goes Ked lary, tho most desperate bank burglar In the world." of hearing was exceptionally acute; turning on his heel, and in bis deep bass voice, he growled "If I was as tough as you think me to bo, I'd give you a slap on the bank that would straigbten out that hump of yours, and remind you of the fSO you owe me for wine." For several years Leary was the proprietor of a hotel at Fort Ilamilton, where he lived with his faithful wife a woman whose hair was as rod as his own. This hotel was a haveu ot refuge for some of iho most notorious criminals of the country, wbora ho entertained with princely hospitality.

While owner pf the Fort Hamilton hostelry he Is said to have participate 1 in tho great Northampton Bauk robbery, which netted $720,000 iu cash nnd securities to Ihe burglars. He was arrested lu Brooklyn by Bob Plnkerton, on the charge of having aided in robbing the Northampton Bank, and, with "Tim" Draper aud "Billy'' Counors, was taken to the town lu which the burglary was committed. The throe were discharged from custody ou March 18, 1831. it was said that a large amount of tne securities stolen were returned before Leary was discharged. He celebrated his release, on returning to Brooklyn by opening a basket of champagne In a saloon near the City Hall.

Previous to his arrest iu Brooklyn, Leary wus arrested ill New York, aud confined lu Ludlow street Jatl. He cut his way out through the wulls of tho Jail, with assistance from pals on tho outside, and made his escape. Then he fled to Europe, where he spent his money in royal stylo. He had been In Europe once before whon quite a youug man and served flvo years in a French prison, for picking pockets iu Paris. Concerning hU career on the otber side of the Atlantic, but little Is known to our police authorities.

John claimed to have served uuder General Bourbaki wbilo abroad. I.e. ry was 48 years old. and was born In Albany. Previous to acquiring reputation as a bank robber, aud for that matter afterwards he was a backer and friend of prominent pugilists.

The fighter who was assured of Leary's friendship at tho ring side, always folt that he would not be allowed to suffer through outside interference. Leary could box aud fight well himself, and when aroused was a demon. And he was a handy man with a pistol. He is credited with having faced the notorious Jim Brady, on the Coney Island Boulevard when both had pistols. As tho story goes, both consented to fight a duel.

Brady fired first and missed, whereupon Leary lowered his revolver, placed it lu his pocket, and remarked sneeriugly: I kuow that you'ld lose your nerve firing at a man." Subsequently tho two became friends. Leary was one of JOhnny Dwyer's friends, aud the dead pugilist once trained at Red's Fort Hamilton Hotel. The English pugilist Joe Qoss made tbe same place tils treitiing quarters. Leary's last appearance In Brooklyn was at the Rink, on the night that Fell and Joe. Lanuon fought Soveral Brooklyn poll tlclans were in his company during Ihe evening.

Tho doad crook's history would make an Intoresc lug book. It Is not true that ho died In tho possession of wonltb; "Red" did not know how to savo a dollar. He parted with his money freely to friends in need, and spent literally thousand of dollars for wine. His wife is said to twn a small house in this city; when Leary was pronounced lu danger she hurried to the hospital and had him placed In a private room. They often quarreled, but quickly made up, aud there Is no doubt that her grief over his death is sincere.

The Brooklyn police say that Leary has not been concerned in crimes committed in this city. Some years ago ho was arrested on suspicion of haviug been one of the party that robbed Arthur J. Heaney, tbe pawnbroker, but iho suspicion was uufounded. BBS. DEBOLD'S CASE.

SIX PAGES. HEAVY TRAVEL During the Morning Hours on the Kings County Road, Beneral Jenrdan Congratulated on an Anspiioui Opening or His Line Rapid Transit on Fulton Street at Last. Ihe beginning of the era of rapid transit rer the vertebral thoroughfare of this city was insplclously heralded to day whea fair skies and hecry sunshine greeted the pioneer regular trains if the Kluga County road. At 5 o'clock this morn ng Manager Goundio sent his flr.it detachment of tarlor coaches, four la number, booming down hiltou street from the Nostrand avenue stolon. Even at so early an hour the number if passengers was considerable.

As time wore the trafllo Increased, until between 7:30 ind 9 o'clock the cars were so Jamraod that there ras scarcely standing room on the platforms tor ho guards. Tho first trains to the bridge were on six minutes headway, making the round frlp Id thirty four minutes, Including a four minute fcy OTer at the bridge. From 6 o'clock to 6:30 trains rere run from Nostrand avenue on six minutes teadway, every second intorval being dividod by a Jerry train, the headway being twelve minutes, letween 6:30 o'clock and 9, whon the tranic was teavlOBt, trains left the Nostrand avenue station for be bridge on a Are minute headway, evory second Bterval being divided by a ferry train on ten min Ites headway. After 9 o'clock every second train from Nostrand ivenuo cut off a car and only three car and then Iwo car trains were run. Commend nc at 9 o'clock rains ran from Nostrand avenue on five minutes leadway, alternating between the bridge and ferry.

Return trains after this time all back In to the Jridge station. At 4:30 P. M. tho Are minute leadway to tho bridge and tea to the ferry will le resumed and continued up till 0:40 P. Vhen it will be again lengthened te ten minutes, jrith alternating trains.

The last train leaves Ihe Nostrand avenuo station at night at 10:10, the last from the ferry at 12 and from the bridge at An Eaulk reportor took a trip over the road this morning between 11 :30 and 12 o'clock. Passenger agents at various stations reportod tho travel fair. At Nostrand avenue a fossilizeJ Individ lal was stopped while attempting to pass through Ihe gates without a ticket. "Don't we ride free to day 7" he piped In surprised (ones. "Everybody pays," was the reply.

Well, 1 11 take tho bor.io cars tbea and run no risks, and ho groped his way down tho stairs. "That man associates with tho old Brooklj nito Ihat never saw the bridge," remarked the station tgent. The stations are In several cases Jyet unfinished, but facials of the road say this will be remedied In the course of a few days. Running Irouud the curves and on the heavy grades a judi iIoub speed is maintained. Flags are bung out at rarious points.

Oa the curve passing Boerum place Is a disc signal for tho protection trains on the curve in front of the City Hall. Every train in passing sets the ligoal and it remains at "danger" uutll the traiu has passed off the curve to the straight line, thus orming a perfect block system. This signal i3 the tnventton of Kobert Blaofc, the road niaater or the Manhattan Elevated road of New York, which also ises tho system. On the heavy grade, between Sands street and the ferry, trilns are run very cautiously. Four car trains up are assisted by a pushing engine.

General Jourdan, president of the toad, was the recipient of congratulations from nany prominent gentlemen of Brooklyn to day, who expressed surprise at the proportions of the traffic already attained. The General said it was Impossible as yet to give any estimate of the travel iver the road. Ho was confident, however, that the results would Justify the establishment of tho road in Fulton street. YVllb the addition of every now itation beyond Nostrand avenue a considerable Held would be lapped. It is to tho long distance passengers that the road will be the greatest boon rod from them the most constant patronage is to be expected.

Only trifling details yet remain to bo attended to to put the road In perfect order. There will be pans under the structure at the ferry where 10 many surface cars deposit their passengers, and at tho various street crossings where stations are located, to prevent water and cinders from the lo tometives falling upon pedestrians. Managing Director DeGrauw, of the Union Ferry Company, said to day that the receipts of his company had not boen porceptlbly affected by the opening of either the Kings County or the Union road. The passengers brought by these routes would some on the surface lines if the elevated roads did not bring them. An increase In the afternoon and evening traffic may be expected from passengers who desire to avoid the crowds at the bridge aud lecure seats on the elevated trains.

Secretory Thompsou, of the Brooklyn City road, Declared that it was impossible to tell as yet to what wtent the travel on the lluos of hl3 company irould be affected by the now road.

Some of the Strikers Hare Returned to Work How tfce Boycott is Progresses iu Netr Yrk.

Every brewery in this city and ncrosa the river that lockod out its men a week ago submitted a statement this of ternoou to tho Brewers' A relation as to the exact number of men employed by them before and after the lockout Iu the case of the twenly ono Brooklyn breweries, with only ouo or two exceptieus, the number of tho now men exceeds that of tb locked out employe. The report also shows that only about 10 per cant, of the lt. ckod out men havo returned to work. The report from the Budweiser Brewery Is as follows: Total number of men employed before the strike, 114; totl number ii'iw at work, 100, of which 25 are men employed before the lockout. Thirty five of tne 1011 are drivers, nil uew men.

The number at w.Tk iu the Budweiser, however, does uot Include ell who have been engafroJ to fill the places of the locked out men according to Mr. William C. who In his report stated that he had employed euough hands iu to bring the number up to what it was before the lockout. The tvTenly fivo men who returned to work to tint Ijiwory, as elsewhere in Brooklyn, are nearly 11 Knights of Labor. At Ferdinand Muucti'a brewery, Ihirty flvo now men are at present employed in place of thirty three that were locked out.

At Otto liuber's the old number was forty nine and the presont is lifty Iour, of which ure men who returned to work One driver and two stablomen were included iu this sixteen. At tho Wiliiamsburgh Brewery nineteen uf tho locked out meu havo returned and the present list of thirty two iusido men aud nineteen driver, the lat.er all new men, Is thy saino as belore the lock out. At Obermeyor Llebmaitu's thirty one meu are on the pay list, only four of wtiom have been iu the employ of the company mora than ono week. At the meeting of the Brewers' Union, iu Clarendon Hall, New York, this morning, tho reports were that the boycott was working well, and It wae re solvod to exten it to the restaurants wherever possible. Two tcab3, wtio havo been working at.

Ebliug's brewory, have left work and again join tho union ranks. A vigilance committee, 100 in number, were appointed to Etghtu Assembly District and are now at work advocullug the use of union beer in the saloons and roslaurauts. A mem ber oi the union raised a uiorm by staling that 200 union mon were talking of going back to work, owing to tho absenco of adequate financial aid. The pay of the broweryinen and beer wagon drivers aud barrel washers in most of the breweries that engaged in tho lockout Is $2.53 or i3 a day. At the latter figure, which is tho prevailing one, the 4,000 men who have remained out have lost by their idleness, In the eight days since they went out, (96,000.

To this, must bo added, the money puid for beer. If the men drink as much as they did Wheu beer was free to them In the breweries they average $8 loss each week on thiB ltom alono, and It must be a considerable blessing to the nou pool beer brewers to have the patronage of thisbearly class of beer drinkers. At the meeting iu the Labor Lyceum building today it was reported that a nominal tax has been laid upon the union men at work in tho uulon breweries at Newark lo help tho locked out men financially. A number of saloou keepers in thie city have signified their willingness to work on a committee to visit all saloon Keepers and prevail upon them to uso union beer. William A.

A. Brown, of the Budweiser Brewing Company, said this afternoon that ho anticipated a collapse of the boycott, as he had been Informed by a member of the Executlvo Committee of District Assembly 43, of New York, that the committee will report unfavorably to aiding any locked out men. THE WniTB HORSE WAS ON TIME, But Ex Alderman Brown Could Not Help tbe Red Haired Girl. Three white horses passed along Fnlton street, by Elm place, early this morning, and neighed shrilly. Soon after a young woman clad In an Imitation seal skin coat and with a head of crinkloy hair as red as the setting sun entered the Charities office, accompanied by Mrs.

Mary McMahon, of 219 South Third street. Ex Aldormau Brown looked up, sighed, smoolhod his rotund configuration with ouo hand and sighed "I told you so. Those noraes didn't pass hero for nothing." The red beaded girl was the sister In law of Mrs. McMahon, and the wuutsd to got her William, out of durance vile in which he was incarcerated a week ago on her complaint William refused to support his wifo and child, and was put under bonds of JIMS to pay his wife a weok or go to jail. To jail he went, and Mary's heart now yearns for him.

Tho ox Alderman told her that he would havo to stay where he was for a month or two anyhow. Tho red haired girl stroked a massive gold ring that clung to hor third finger and informed Mr. Brown that her husband was a dandy aud that she wouldn't hare him put In Jail. Then she, too, pleaded for William's release, but to no avail. At this point a Mrs.

Walters, who was standing by, and who had como to complain of ber husband, broke In with: "I'd Just like to have my husband In Jail; you bet I'd keep bim there. Men are no good nowadays anyway, and I wouldn't marry again the best one that ever lived." The three then floated out. RESCUED BY HIS BROTHER.
