Later Details of the Mammoth 'Mine Disaster.

The List ef the Yictims Steadily Iaereated. Ifine Men Esceptd, lint Were Injured. Ko Cnse Kdottb for tho DIiasler Tbe Fire Ben Reported All Riffht. TiTTSBL Rd, January 28. Mr.

H. C. Frick, owner of the Mammoth mine No. the scene of yesterday's terriblo explosion, has been in almost constant communication with bis representatives at the pit since yesterday afternoon. Mr.

Frick saya this morning that he Las private information to the effect that up to on early hour this morning 10b' bodied had been iomoved from tlie shaft. He says that in all there wore 100 men working in the mine at the timo of tho accident: that 0 escaped with their liveH, some of thom badly injured; tho rest, or 131 men, were either killed outright or suffocated by the terrible after damp. Fire Boss Snaith, whoso body whs so terribly mansled, had early yesterday morning tiled tho following report in the oflice of the company at the works: Mammotii, Ja iuary 27. To Thomas Lynch, tjeneral Superintendent This is to certirr that we, the undersigned, have this day, January 18m, examined tho working places in Mammuth and found the anno to be in a lit condition for men and other workers employed therein. Signed! Wii.i.um K.wvrii.

lire Boss. Thomas Smith. Inspector of Machinery. Gkuiiok 1Yf.iti:ii, Engineer. The Mammoth mine was examined by Inspector Jenkins of tho Second district on January 20 1801.

His report says: "Genoral condition of mine good, with 5,508 cubic feet air inlet' Interviews were had this morning with former Owners of the Mammoth mine aud others whose business interest ami duties require them to keep posted on the condition of every mine in tho C'onuellsvillo coke region. Their statement agree in that there is absolutely no way to account for tho accident. At no timo has there ever been a suspicion of gas in Mammoth mine, and at this plant, as well as others owned by the Frick company, no expense has been spared to miko thoir mines as safe as experience and science can make them. Yol'XOWoop, January 28. One hundred and seven bodies had been taken from the ill fated mine No.

1, of Frick A Co. at Mammoth, up to 1 0 o'clock this morning. It is estimated that tho remains of at least seventeen more viciims of yesterday's explosion are Still in the pit, but it is thought that all will be Out in a few hours. Fifty oofiins arrived from l'ittsbnrg this morn, iug, and another half hundred will reach here to iiight. An additional or.ler for twenty tive more was sent this morning.

The causo of tho explosion has not yet been determined. The coroner is on the ground, and a thorough investigation will be made. No arrangements has yet beon made for the funerals. The victims will bo buried by the company. Many of the unfortunates aro Hungarians and will be tent to Scottdalo for interment.

An official of the Frick company said this morning: "It may never be known how or why the explosion occurred. The accumulation of Arc damp was probably the cause, but it was never known to exist in any quantity before; in fact, It may be said that tlie Mammoth mino has been free from damp. There is a theory that a pocket of natural gas was reached aud that the operation of tho ventilating fans now prevents any accumulation of it. It is not necessary that everyone in a mine be killed when an explosion occurs. Tlie explosive may stay in one particular section, and may not permeate tho entire nunc, unless the volumo is so great as to foree it to every part of tho pit.

In this case the gas was confined to one portion, aud the miners wlio were in other localities The disaster has some remarkable features. It "was as deadly, as sweeping and as complete as the sinking of a ship in midocean. "It comes to you liko Homo whirlwind, with blue tints of a rainbow, aud when it bursts into flame it passes over your body like a great log. God does not often let a man live to tell what has happened to him. If it catches you upright you are like a leaf in a tornado, and it rends tho ribs of mate lu the openings like tho ribs of a straw rick." Never in the history of American coal mining has there beon an unexpected accident With such a complete annilation of all within its reach.

The Mammoth mine has been notable always as being particularly free from gas. Hun. tired of safety gauge lamps were provided for the miners by tlie company, but they wero never used, as they were regarded as unnecessary. their stead the men wore tho familiar little open flame lamps on their hats, thoso small coffee pot shaped affairs of tin, which are fastened abovo tbo forehead in the headgear of tho workmen. The mine boss put tho night shift to work aud found nothing lo arouse his suspicion.

Fire Boss Smith, a man who had worked in mines in Great Britain and this couutry for thirty years, made his usual careful inspection of all the rooms and headings at tho customary time between 2 and o'clock in tho morning. His duty was to enter every place where men worked aud to mark upon the wall of the room or heading the sign of hi approval the figures of the day of the month. LYXCI1 LAW IN BOSNIA. An Aticmp' Hxceiilc Swift Upon Two Vienna, January 28. A dispatch from llosna Servai, tho capital of Bosnia, gives the details of a strange and horrible murder.

Two gendarmes, It appears, assaulted, killed and afterward cut up the body of a young Servian girl whom they met while patrolling a road passing through a thick wood. After murdering the girl the gendarmos concealed her j'emainB in the forest, and were upon the point of leaving tho scene of their crime when they oaught sight of an Italian woodcutter who seemed to have been watching tho whole proceeding. Upon being questioned the man admitted that he had seen the gendarmos commit the crime. Upon his promise not to s.y anything about it they simply arrested him as a vagrant instead of killing him, as at first proposed. The police officers took their prisoner to their headquarters at the gendarmerie, but upon arriving there the Italian woodcutter denounced the gendarmes and told tlie police ofHcials whero they could find the body of the murdered woman.

'The two murderers were then arrested. News of the crime soon caused a large crowd to collect in front of the police station, and when the officers who had been sent to inreatigato the woodman's charges returned, bearing the body of the murdered woman upon a stretcher made of branches of trees, the fury of the crowd assembled about the gendarmerie know no bounds. They made a rush for the doors of tho gendarmerie, broke into that building in spite of the efforts of the officers to stop them, and had nearly lynched the two murderous gendarmes when the latter were rescued by a number of policemen and a detachment of soldiers who had bern called to quell the disturbance. TIIK KAISER IS FOR PE.U'K. I'ahis, January Count Yon Minister Lsdenburg, the (ierman Ambassador, presided last night at a banquet Kiveii at the Herman embassy in honor of (ho birthday of F.mperor William.

Tho I'igaro, this morning, referring to this entertainment, says that Count Von Minister, in toasting tlie German emperor, said: Wo face now the present and the future. The present is auspicious and the future appears in a most favorable light. Germany has at her head a young, valiant monarch, desirous for his people's good, to preserves tho peace of the world. Whon he ascended the throne it was feared that ho had a warlike inclination. It is now proved that he strives to fulfill an eminently civilizing mission.

COUNTING COS For a New Headquarters for the Fire Department. The Coraainien an Small Silos Held, a Meotins Mayer Chapin Believes That a Suitable Building. Can be Erected fer $100,000 Akinsf for Plans. The city is about to erect a headquarters building for tho fire department on the Biio of the present offices in Jay strest near Willoughby. It owns a frontago or 50 ft et, having recontly purchared a house and lot adjoining o.

It engine house, from ex ltcgisor Hugh McLaughlin, and the scheme is (,. pm UD a and substantial structure thero. '1 he matter Is iu tho chargo of what Is. known the commission on small sites, which composed of tho tho city works and police commissioners. A mooting of the commission was held at the mayor's oflice thiB aft Jruoon at for the purpose of taking action toward tho erection of tho building.

Fire Euuls was in attendance and Informed thu board that he was making arrangements to r. move the tel. graphic apparatus from the present headquarters to the old hose company house on Jay street, near Concord. He proposed to rent a building for thp offices of the department during the progress of work ou the new headquarters the neighbor borhood of Jay and Willoughby ts. As scon as the commission should act, he should go ahesd.

Commissioner Adams said then boti 8 0, 000 available for a new Mayor Chapin said that whatever more was required could bo put in the tax 1 y. He did not think the right kind of building could be erected for What did tho Thomas Jefferson cowl?" td mayor asked Commissioner Adams. "One hundred and fifty two thousand dollars," was tho reply. "It has a frontage of fifty feet aud an average dopth of ninety an 1 is scveu stories 111 height." "We have," explained Commissioner Eunis, "a front.igeof 50 feet on Jay stieei', and a depth of 1 oti feet on both lots." "How deep should the new building be," queried tlie mayor. "At least 75 feet," said Conrui siouer Eunis.

"If the commission should decide to croet a four story building we could mo the upper portion for a training school for firemen. Wo havo one now. When we appoint fircmeu w. have to Bend them at once to companies. They not mako as good firemen as if they were trailed properly.

The ground floor would bu us.l for bote, tho second lor olliees, the third for the telegraph department and tho fourth for a training school and supply department." "I think," remarked tho mayor, "that you will find onough for four Btorios, or li v. for that mat tsr. Fivo aro not many stories for 11 building now a days. An extra story costs very little after the building is blocked out. If we get the proposition in definite shape, I should bo inclined te invite either openly by advertisement, or by request, a number of architects to submit plans.

It ought nut to beadillicult tiling to plan this building. The only thing is that it must conform to certain purposes. It ought to he substantial, aud it ought to ho reasonably ta tuful." "It seems to me," said Commissioner Eunis "that if you select an architect it would be better as wo could talk to him and tell him what wo want." "Have you anyone In mind? a kcl the mayor. "Not particularly, replied En nis, indifferently. "1 see Mr.

Dans very highly spoken of by the newspapers. Ho has also planned somo buildings which are well spoken of. I don't know anything about the gontlcman at "I should be in favor of having two or threo or four architects," said Coutnii sioniT Adams, "to present their ideas." "You can't go into anything elaborate for building that won't cost money," said the mayor. "In New York, they spout a great 1 1 of money on a building aud had lots of plans. If wo invited architects I don't we could get many.

It isn't a big Job." "I think it would bo just as cheap to select a thorough architect," remarked Commissioner Eunis. "The per ccntago of pay is the same." "A live story building," said the mayor, "can bo put up for $100,000. We can ask three of four men to submit plans to us i sketchei in ton days or some short time not elaborate plans in detail, but a sort of preliminary sketches such as an architect niikes in a day or two. 1 don't believe wo onn get any man to submit elaborate plans because that means some days' work. He would put in $200 worth of time on a Job which would not give him a great ileal of money if he got it.

We might iu. vite Mr. Freeman and Mr. Dans and two or three othei men to submit skotchos to 11 anytime in the next two weeks for a building which ought not to cost more than 1100,000, and which should have such and such diniriiMotiB and such and such a height.

Air. Adams "There are," answered CoinniKsioner Adams, 'I'hiiyer A Wallace, Frer mau, D.uir, Ingrain and Warren, I think those live would all uf them ptts sent sketches." "You won't get architects who are doing big work," said the mayor. "There isn't enough in this." After some further talk, the commission adopted a resolution requesting Adams to invito tho submission of sKetches plans for live storv building from such architects as he might select, the co.it of the building not to exceed $100,000: the said sketches and plans to b6 submitted 011 or before February Hi.

Tho Red line steamor Philadelphia, from La Guayra, arrived at this port this morning after a fair run of seven days. Captain Chambers, her commander, reports that when two days out the Philadelphia overtook the British bark Montreal, Captain Dextor, from Windsor, N. to St. Simon, Ga. The Montreal waa then seventy one days at sea and her provisions and water had given out.

She had signals flying which attractod the attention of tho Philadelphia. That vessel bore down upon the distressed vessel aui learned of tho plight of her The men wero suffering from hungor and thirst and could posaibly last but a short time longer. Even in their famished condition they worked heroically to navigate tho ship, but they were so weak that their efforts wero little better than uBcleaB. Ono of the sailors who had been sent aloft to store sails was so woak that ho fell from the maintopsail yard to the deck and was instantly killed. Tho Montreal also lost some sails and had sustained some damage to her decks.

Despite the furious storm which was then raging a volunteer orew from the Philadelphia immediately launched a boat and supplied the Montreal with water aud provisions. The Red line steamship Caracas, Captain John Woodrick, which sailed from this port January 24 for Laguayra aud other South American ports, returned to her dock at Roberts' stores this morning. At 2 o'clock, on the morning of January 20, tho captain reports, when the Caracas was about one hundred and fifty miles to the southward of Sandy Hook, the wind, which had been favorable up to that time, suddenly shifted to the westward, and began to blow with considerable force, increasing every miuute, until at 3 o'clock it was blowing a genuine hurricane and the seas were running to terrific heights, constantly flooding the vessel and sweeping the decks of everything which was not made fast. At 2 o'clock the barometer stood at 20.30, bnt at 3 o'clock it had reached 20.05. About 4 o'clock in tho morning tho hur.

SOME SEIZURES Made Yesterday by Deputy Marshal Biggart. The Sehoeuer Calvin S. Edwards Found Abandoned at Sea and Tarred Into This Port No Trace of Her Crew Other Yeiel.i Held to Satisfy Claims. Deputy Marshal Jarao3 Bigtrart last evoning seized the three masted schooner Calvin S.

Edwards and what remained of her cargo of yellow pine at the Erio basin breakwater. Tho Edwards is a fine vessel but was badly damaged in Sunday's storm. The libel is for storage, the libelants being the Myor's excursion aud navigation company, owners of the schooner Eleanora, and her captain, Benjamin H. Sharpley, the salvors. Tho Eleanora left New York in ballast 'on Sunday morning for York river.

About 7 A. when heading south south east on hor course, Absecom light bearing southwest, a schooner waB soon in distress about four miles ahead. Tho Eleanora bore down and found her to be the Calvin S. Edwards, derelict, waterlogged, and not a living thing aboard. Her sails were torn away, both anchors gone, deck load of lumber partly washed overboard, and four or fivo feet of water in her hold.

Sharpley boarded her, hauled in her chains and got a linoiaboai d. which soon parted. He got another aboard which heid, and took the Edwards iu tow and started for Sandy Hook. He put three of the crew aboard; they remained until sunset, when ono returned to the Eleanora. About t) M.

tho schooners fell 111 with tlie tug Idlewild going down the beach, ytshe took both vessels iu tow, uiriving in TCew York about 8 o'clock yesterday morning. Tho Calvin S. Edwards was towed to the Erie basin breakwater, where he now lies. Nothing is known of the fate of tho crew, but it is evident that she was blown from her anchorage, as both anchors are, gone. The libelants state that tho vessel's value is $2,500, and that her cargo of 100,000 feet of pine is worth $1,500.

Deputy aiarshal Biggart mado two other seizures last night. He attached the Austrian bark Yigo, in the Erio baein, tho libelants being the Provincial dry dock company, Erie basin. Tho claim amounts to $1)4. About 10 o'clock P. M.

ho seized the steam lighter Lime Rock, owned by Louisa E. Bates. Threo fire insurance companies aro the libelants, thoir claims being for premiums due. They aro tho United States firo insurance company of New York, $0 the Niagara lire insurance company, $00, and the Western fire insurauco company of Toronto, $120. HAD A TEKRIFiO HURRICANE.

The Sfeaiawhip Niitmy tu Receives Ureal ami Her Carpenter iv liilled. The English steamship Nasmyth, Captain J. E. Holt, arrived at Martin's storca this morning from Brazilian ports, bringing a cargo of coffee, hides aud general merchandise consigned to Busk (t Jevons, New York. Sho sailed from Santos January 3 and St.

Lucia, 18. Excellent sailing weathor was hail on the trip up the coast until the vessel got in the Gulf stream, when, in crossing it, January 25, she encountered a terrific hurricane, lasting nearly thirty aix houra. Tho wind Btartcd in in a small gale from the southwest, from which direction it blew steadily for soveral hours and with increasing force until it reached a hurricRiia pitch, then suddenly veered arouud to tho northwest and continued with unabated fury, the seas meanwhile rising to a terrific height and force and being very confused. The vossel, which was deep laden, la bored very heavily and was with difficulty kept 011 her course against tho force of tho waves, which continually broke over her foro and aft, washing the decltB clean of everything movable. During the hurricane tho cabin doors were smashed in by the waves and the cabin was completely flooded with water.

Tho hatchc3, however, were securely battened down and the cargo escaped damage. Charles Haines, the steamship's carpenter, was struck by one of thu heaviest ae.aB that swept over tho vessel, was knocked down and had his skull badly fractured, bo that he died within half an hour afterward. He was a native ot llomburg, aged 50 years. His body was buried at sea the next day. The voyago was one of tho worst which the Nasmyth has evor had, and if she had not been one of the stanchest vessels of the line she would certainly uot have, withstood tho awful fury of the storm she experienced, After the hurricane died out, on the 20th, good weather and moderate seB wero again had until the vessel arrived in port.

SWINDLED AFTKR BEING WAItSKD. A Clerk in the people' 'Xrnsit Company mulcted Out of $310. A check raiser worked a clever dodge on tho People's trust conipnuy yesterday, although the company had beon warnod to look out for the fellow. Tho fraud had gone into tho office of Court Interpreter 0. W.

N. Achberg last Monday and got a cheek for $7 in exchange fer cash, saying ho wai tod to mail that amount of money. Ho gave his name as P. P. Thompson.

After ho had gone Achberg beeamo suspicions and he went to the trust company yesterday to warn Ihem that the chock was made for $7 only. Yesterday Thompson went to tlie trust company with the check. It called for and across its face was written "correct" and the signature of Achberg, which was so accurate that the clerk in the bank did not doubt it. The check was torn in half and Thompson explained that ho had torn it accidentally. It is believed that Thompson tore it so as to trace the signature across the face whero "cor.

reet" had been written. The police are looking for Thompson. They blame tho clerk for having cashed the torn chuck after having been warned. TWO MORE CELLAR FIRES. Rsarders in Che Smoked Out at Supper Time.

Fire occurred in the cellar of the big bosrding house known as the St. James, which is located at tiro corner of Fulton and Pineapple streets, at 5 o'clock Inst evening. A match accidentally dropped on a pile of rubbish started the which quickly communicated with a barrel of kerosono. An immense volume of smoko poured up the Btairway through whioh the frantic boarders ruBhed from their rooniB. The fire was confined to the cellar, whore it was extinguished after two hours' hard work.

The boarders then returned to eat a cold supper, the same that thoy had left behind thoin in their flight. The building was damaged to the exten of $1,000. George Lockett Sons, grocers, who occupy the first floor, sustain a loss of $300. Just previous to tho breaking out of this firo there was a email fire in the cellar of tho three Btory briok houae 271 Bridge street, owned by S. and A.

Tho hearing was in tho chamber of commorcc, New York, and Queena county was well represented.

Lawyer Church, for tho company, put in the consents of more than two thirds in numbers of the property owners along the line of the route. They wro oertified to ua oerrect by E. W. do Leon of Brooklyn and Goorge A. Warnock of Jainaioa.

Then Mr. Church argued for au hour to show what a benefit the road was to the neighborhood in whiou it waa looated and contended that the local authorities were inclined to harass them. "Our railroad runs through privato property," Mr. Church continued, "and our title cornea from an act of the legislature passed in 180U It is well that the commissioners should understand that wc are not operating a railroad ou a public street." Lawyer H. A.

Moutfort, representing the trustees of Jamaica, declared that Mr. Church's road assumed to run tho village. "Wo are completely at thoir meroy," was Mr. Montfort's pathetic declaration. "They change the grade at their pleasure, say they own the whole street, and violate the law at their own sweet will.

They refused to allow an eleotrio light company to stnug its wireB, and compelled that corporation to work underground. Of course, that increased the coat of the electric light to tho trustees and private consumers." "Who has authority over thiB company7" asked Commissioner Kernan. "The overseer of turnpikes under our charter," answered Mr. Church. "Thero should be publio sentiment enough in Jamaica to compel that officer to do his duty.

It is certainly uo part of our work to interfere with the details of local administration." John O'Donuell, 8. H. Carpenter and others spoko. They were uot altogether unfriendly to the railroad, but they wanted a bettor eleotrio system, slower time while the cars were running through the populous section of the viUage and a determination of tho standing of the company. Commissioner announoed that tho board would rendor its decision in a fow dayB, but indicated that it would be in favor of tho company.

The restrictions imposed are that the rate of speed is to be regulated by tho local authorities and that it shall not exceed eight miles an hour in the village of Jamaica; that the height and location of the polos shall be fixed also by those in local power. Other provisions are that each car will be operated by at least two men: that Bafety wires to ward off the possibility of contact with other electric wires shall be used aud that the road bed shall he kept good order. It was announced that Corporation Counsel Jenks would be on hand to represent Brooklyn's niteieflts. The hearing was concluded at 12:30 o'clock aud neither Mr. Jonks nor any of his handsome assistants had appeared.

It waa announced late in the afternoon that Assistant Gilbert had started for the chamber of commerce WANTS PEACE. Pastor Bernhart Says He Averse to Trouble, is Disclaiming Knowledge of the Action Taken br the Maetiuarbuud te Favor Him Uiidar All Beer as Disturbing Element. Tho troublosof the Hopkins street Presbyterian church are not seomingly so unsusceptible of a peaceful solution as they appeared at the outset, notwithstanding tho recont secession of School Superintendent John Bitter and tho Sunday Bchool teachers. A ineoting was called last evening iu the church for the purpose of harmony, but at tho hour designated only a part of tho congregation was present and uo action was taken. Hitter ami the othor dissentients wero conspicuous by thoir absenco aud tho assemblage broke up and dispersed.

Tho maennerbund, consisting of male members of the congregation favorable to the pastor, then visitod the residence of Mr. Charles G. Hoerner, 326 Floyd street, and conferred together as to the course to be pursued in the ovont of the threatened appeal to tho presbytery by tho Ritter Sauerbrunu faction, and it seemed to bo tho determination of all to stand by tho pastor should he even decide to withdraw from the presbytery. To an Eaoi.v: reporter this morning Rev. Ilart mau F.

Bernhardt, tho pastor.disclaimod any part or participation in the proceedings of the maennerbund. On being asked if he favored the idea of withdrawing the church from the presbytery ho opened his eyos, as if in astonishment, and said: "Certainly not; I want it to remain where it is. Ail I want is peace. I havo had nothing to do with the maounerbund proceedings aud know nothing about them.1 Tho clergyman then excused himself by saying that he id a sick call to attmid. He is a man of tall aud portly build, pleasant expressiau and aged about 50, and if he was not known to be a Presbyterian clergyman, might readily, from his long dark coat, high buttoning vest and Roman collar, bo tak ju for a Catholic priest.

This conclusion has been reached not only from personal advicoa from offlcurs who participated in the engagement, but from the official reports received here and published some days ago.

EARL OBJECTS To Delay in the Twenty sixth Ward Sewer Bill. Ho Insiila That the Failure of the Minie: pal Authorities te Appear Befere the Cities Cemittf8 Should Ket Betard the Meamre Bills Iatrsdnced Te day. Special to the Eaglo.

Aluajt, N. January 28. Corporation Counsel Jenks was expected to appear before the assembly committeo on cities yesterday afternoon to discuss tho provisions of srl's Tn enty sixth ward sewer bill. Assemblyman Earl appeared before the committee and stated that he hoped the bill would bo reported favorably and without delay. Chairman Blumen thal produced a telegram from Mr.

Jenks, in which tho latter said ho could uot appear in Albany this week. Mr. Blumenthal said ihe bill would not bo reported until tho municipal authorities Brooklyn had bo'jn heard ou the bill. The chairman evinced a disposition to prevent Jfr. Earl from saying anything further concerning the bill, but tho assemblyman would not be choked off and said rather warmly: "Very well, if that is the decision of the chair, but I desire to place the responsibility for delaying action on this bill juet where it belongs.

This bill affects the interests and live6 of 40,000 people. Three square miles of territory in the Twenty sixth ward aro practically unscwerod. The people of this district aro alarmed over tho increasing death rate aud demand tho prompt passago of the bill in the hands of your committee. Mr. Jenks told mo that either ho or a representative from his ofiieo would appear before tho citios committee tin week.

There is no good reason, in my judgment, for delaying action on this sewer bill. It has been in the hands of tho corporation counsel for a week. It has been modified bo as to conform to the viows of the city authorities. Most of its provisions have been approved by tho city authorities. If tho fate of this bill is to depend on the action of the corporation counsel let the fact bo made public.

I want it to be distinctly understood that in uo way am I responsible for delaying action on a bill which tho corporation counsel has had ample time to examine." Chairman Blumenthal drew in his horns as Earl proceeded and finally said Brooklyn bills should bo promptly considered. The committee finally agreed that a hearing on Brooklyn bills would be had on Tuesday next. If the corporation counsel does not appear before the citios committee on tho day named tho sower bill will be considered without regard to Mr. Jenks' wishes. Assemblyman Burns has introduced a bill providing that tho assessment on Eighth ward lots for the construction of the Third avenue sewer be reduced one third.

Each lot is now assessed $130. Assemblyman Coouey introduced the bill transferring the charge of St. Johnland to the complete control of the charities commissioners and supervisor at largo. Assemblyman Sutherland of Kings has been appointed a member of the state enumeration committeo. Senator Stewart's rapid transit bill came up for passage in the senate this morning.

Senator Ives moved to strike out the thirty second section, which gives to tho Manhattan olevatod railway company all tho power which it is alleged Jay Gould has demanded. Senator Linson, a Democrat, said, when his name wa called, that he should vote for the motion, bc causo he wanted to see if men in New York city, who had recently locked up the money of Ihe country, wore able to carry the threat that there would be no rapid transit unless their desires in the matter wero acceded to. The motion was defeated, Mr. MeCarren being the only Kings county senator who voted the affirmative. Senator Sheard then moved to amend the bill so as to prohibit the elevated roads from making use of the battery and city hall parks.

Senator Faasett and other ltepublicans made long and laborous speeches asainst tho amendment, then, when Fassett was through, Senator Sheard said: "Why is it not In this bill? You exempt Fifth avenue from the operations of this bill, and yet object to exempting battery park, a breathing place for tho poor? The only answer Fassott could make was that he had confidence in the commissioners named in the bill. Senator Ahearn made a vigorous speech in favor of the amendment, and incidentally added that he spoke in tho interest of the people of the lower section of Mew York, because he had passed seventeen years of his life among them. "Yes, you look it," exclaimed Senator Stadler, tones audible to several senators. Senator Ahearn did not hear Stadler. Senator Cantor also advocated the amendment.

There was a firo in thcKenmore hotel early this morning. No serious damage was done, yet some of the gucBts of the hotel were greatly alarmed. It is reported that Fighting Joo Aspmwall attempted to escape from his room iu an embroidered and flounced night shirt by sliding down an icy lightning rod. The amendment preventing the elevated road from using Battery park was adopted, Jacobs and MeCarren voting for it. Birkett voted against it.

Yeas, 20; nays, 8. The rapid transit bill has passed tho senate by a unanimous; vote. MR. DKI'EW'S JOKE. alis KnriuoHizur Goodrich ItlOJiCK." Mr.

Naval Officer Willis this morning Slid that the time was ripe for tho citizens of this city to throw off "the McEaughlin coll'ir." He said: "The people of Brooklyn will take possession of this town next fall, of that you may rest assured, but whether the independent citizens will support a Republican or the ltepublicans will unite on un independent cannot bo guessed at this early date.

Gaynor's letter accompanying his amended complaint in the suit brought by his client, William Zioglor, to prevent the alleged squandering of the city's funds in the purchase of the Long Island water supply company's franchises and plant he suggested to Corporation Counsel Jenks that he and Mr. JenkB agreo upon the isBiies of fact to be tried by jury and thereby save the timo which would be consumed in an application by Air. Gaynor to tho court to frame such issues after the usuul formal manner. In Mr. Jenks reply to this communication, whioh was published yesterday, tho corporation counsel wrote: "I see no reason why I should agree to frame issuea and thereby save tho time which would be consumed in an application by me fyouj to tho conrt.

For your proposal is not based upou any absoluto right and I sec no reason why I should consent to transfer tnis oaso from tho forum iu which your client 1ib brought it." Tho following extract from the code of civil procedure appears to be applicable to the issno raised by Mr. Jenks in thia reply to Mr. Ziegler's counsel: Sec. 071 amended 1877). Trial of specific questions by jury whou dircretiouarv: In an ac 1011 whero a party is not entitled as of right to a trial by jury the court may in its discretion, upon the application ot either paity or without application, direct that one or more questions of fact arising upon tho issues be tried bv a jury and may cauao those questions to be distinctly and plainly stated for trial accordingly.

This would seem to place Mr. Gaynor ou top in the question opened by the city's counsel and, further than this, ou the question of a trial by jury issues of fact iu tho case, Mr. Garnor hiH been credited with being fortified by tile lowing further Quotation from the code regarding this as an action "for waste: Sec.

Corporation Counsel Jenks was a died this morning what he had to Bay regarding tho comments that had already been mado on the seeming contradiction in his letter, not only of Mr. Gaynor but of tho code of civil procedure. Mr.

Jenks replied: "All I have to say is that it ii very amusing." "Does not this section of the law apply to the case "You have all the answer I care to make." "What do you refer to in speaking of the forum in which Mr. Ziegler has brought his case "The apecial term of the supreme court." "Do you moan to say in your letter that this is not a jury case "My letter explains itself. I stand by it and havo uothin? to add to it." Mr. Jenks' replies to these interrogations did not clear away the doubts loft by his letter as to whether or not he will question the right of a jury trial of tho questions of fact iu the suit against tlie city. There is nothing in Mr.

Gaynor's letter to indicate that he or his client desire to withdraw the case from tho. "forum" in which they brought it i. the special term of the bu pn mi court. It is not an uncommon thing in the special term of the court for issuca of faef to he submitted to the decision of a jury. Iu regard to tho disposition of tho money which citizens have offered to subscribe to bear the expenses of the prosecution of the water supply case, a correspondent lof the New York IVi bnncol tho 20th iust.

makes the following remarks: Permit mo to suggest a use for the subscriptions nrged upon Ziegler and Mr. Gaynor by leading citizens of Brooklyn and declined by the two men. Ihe city government and tho water company havo joined forces, and it has been announced that Thomas E. Pear sall, counsel of the company, and W. C.

De iu are to assist Corporation Counsel Jenks. Mr. Gaynor is a skillful lawyer, and is no doubt able to conduct the ease to a succosslul issue, but this is a big light, and with such an array of counsel opposed to him it may fairly he supposed that he would welcome assistanoe.

T. Cimisten ke.v. Brooklyn January 28, 1H01. My Deau Sin Your favor of January 27, with the. clipping from the New York Tribune, 1 have duly received.

Mr. Ziegler retained me very handsomely in the water case, and I am loath to accept money from anyone else in the matter. As tor bringing in additional counsel, I have not thought of that matter yet. My experience teaches me that divided responsibility any matter is a source of weakness and not of strength. I feel grateful to you for your offer of assistance.

I will consider Ihe matter of the bill to repeal the'objectionable sections of the annexation act. Such a bill certainly should be drawn and lathered by a nou partisan movement. Very truly yours, William J. Gavnoii. To General T.

MANHATTAN' ASSOCIATION. Nothing: Ooiie Toward Couwolidatinn TIiim 33oruiuy The Manhattan association of Congregational ministers held its winter meeting to day at Puritan church. It meets threo times a year, and, unlike the New York and Brooklyn association, has no lay members, but is more strictly a private professional club, and does not invite publicity in reports of its meetings.

It examines candidates for the ministry and promotes social and ministerial fellowship. It is not likely that any organic union with tho other association will take placo at present, if for no other reason than this, that there is ample scope lor two and to enlarge tho present membership of the forty five, would also make a considerable demand upon the hospitalities of tho several brethren who in turn entertain the association. Rev. William Jsinea is moderator ami litv. II.

11. Mc Farland scribe. The reading and adoption of the minutes this morning at 10:30, and other routine business having been finished, two papers, "A Plea for Oriental Studies," by Dr. E. P.

Thwiiur, aud Tubingen of and 1800," by Dr. A. J. F. Behreuds, occupied Ihe attention of tho association.

Dr. Thwing remarked that the ancient Latin saying, ex oricnte lux, was to dav having a fresh significance iu the awakened interest shown in tho study of the East. Not only are scholars investigating the subject, bnt it is seen that the equipment of missionary candidates is incomplete unless oriental studies receive attention. The first nrgnment for a. more thorough acquaintance with the East is the substantial unitv of the East ami West, that Is the homogeneity of mankind.

The civilization of the race is only understood when its solidarity is recognized. This coherence and unity is shown in primitive, ineradicable conceptions of nature, expressed in language, plastic art, in maxims, traditions and usages. Again, these studios are comprehensive, incliisiro so fruitful and fascinating. No scholar can be au intellectual exile in the He thcro finds his East s'orienter, as tho French say; ho determines the true polarity whi'di a man of letters feels on tho continent where tho race began. Again, modern, scientific and commercial eiibirpriso necessitate this knowledge.

Material motives aro urgent. Modern progress invites the East. An intellectual and moral mastery must attend tho mechanical and industi ial sway which wo establish there. The London merchants have out Paul's query on their ships, "Quia leparabit?" as a symbol of the Indissoluble unity of material interests. "Who shall separate" us as to higher considerations'; Moreover, the acceleration of missionary enterprises in thu Orient render a wider knowledge of tho history, temper, conditions anil tastes of her people imperative.

Professor Thwing then indicated iu brief a method of Oriental studies, beginning with the physical geography of Eastern lands, tho material conditions which shaped tho life of men at tho start and the causes of racial differences traceable to climate, scenery, food and tho like. Then moral influence's which molded temperament and thought, crystalizod into social usages and became permanent in philosophy, legislation, education aud religion, a patient analysis which leads to a rational synthesis and so to a true science of Oriental civilization.

Is There a "Jack the Saipper" at Work in Townt Detective Rpyaeldj Scorn to Think That a Mania fer Cutting Off Braids Haa Broken Out in tho Schools and That No Rb bcr Exists Scare Among the Children.

Girls, beware, look out for your hair," is the song now sung at recess by pupils of the publio schools, and braids aro now twined in a top knot or tied under tho chin. There is a real alarm among all the school children over 1'Jack tho Snipper," if such a personage there can be, which the police are inclined to doubt, notwithstanding that four young misses iu as many partB of the city aver they havo been bereft of their tresses in broad daylight on crowded thoroughfares. The firBt to lose her golden locks was Lulu Hewitt of Nevina street two weeks ago, and two days thereafter 17 year old Mamie McMurray of 244 Leonard street was looking in a store win. dowon Grand street, near Leonard, whou her hair was cut. The next was 13 year old Emma Whitehead of 475 Kosciusko street.

She attends public school No. 44, at Putnam andThroop avenues, and on Wednesday last visited her aunt, on Monroe street. The aunt remarked tho absence of one of the girl's braids and that was the first Emma kuew of it. Now comes Gertrude Bieastof 383 St. Marks place, whose story was told in the Eagle of yesterday.

Detectivo James Reynolds of tho Tonth precinct lives on tho same blook as Gertrude and is inclinod to think she iB seeking uewapapor notoriety or wants to become a "heroine," as ho states in his report to Captain Early which is appended. A singular feature of the detective's report is that ho connects tho shorn Mamie McMurray, now of Leonard street, with tho shorn Gertrude Breast as an old schoolmate and former next door neighbor of Gertrude's. That Detective Reynolds behoves a haircnttiug mania has broken out among tho school childrcu and that a great number of them want to be heroines is told by the tenor of his report as follows: In relation to the cutting of the hair of Gertrude Breast of 303 St. Marks place, I would report that she loft hor home at 8:30 A. M.

Monday and went down St. Marks place toward Third avenue, on her way to publio school No. 15, in lhird avenue aud State street. While passing Curtiu's drug store, on Fourth avenue, she saya Rho saw a mau about 30 years of age, 5 feet 8 inches, medium build, light mustache, black derby hat. bluo pea jacket, standing on the corner.

She had seen him, so she Bays, standing in the same place several times and Bhe suspected that ho waB watchine her. After crossing Fourth avonue and about one hum re 1 feet from the corner she heard footsteps by hersido and looked np and saw the same man. She stopped and as she did so let her head fall forward and the man stepped behind her and cut a large piece of hair off. She then noticed the man had a dark beard and was the Bamo man she had seen at different times. He then ran away, turning the corner of Fourth avenue, hhe says that a woman whom she cannot describo came out of one of the llats on the block, picked up her ribbon and handed it to her.

Search has been made of every house in the neighborhood, but this woman cannot bo found. Mr. James Curtin of 77 Fourth avenue keeps a grocery store where Gortrude's folks deal and he haB tho following story to tell of tho assault: Sho came into his place at 8 A. laughing, and said a man who she described to correspond with a young man named Harry White, who lives with his parents at 420 St. Marks avenue, had'followed her aud cut her hair.

Sho was at the time full of good humor. Mr. Ourtin sent for Harry Whito and told him about what the girl had said. Genie no sooner saw him than sho declared that he was not the party. I also saw Jennie Kohle of 303 St.

Marks place, who is a schoolmate of Gertrude's. Sho says Gertrude showed her a man last week who was standing on tho corner of Fourth avenue and St. Murks place and said he wiib following her. She also told Jennie (ho was glad to have her hair cut olf and that tho man had made away with her two braids. I was also informed by a lady who saw Gertrude leave her house that morning and Bhe positively says her hair was done in two braids aud that she did not go toward Fourth avenue, but went up to Fifth avonuo.

One of Gertrude's companions iB Hilda Alm creen, whose mother kept a grocery store at 71 Fourth avenue l.iBt spring and had quite a story one morning iu tho newspapers about somo man throwing a bag of Hour in her face and then robbing tho money drawer, all reported to tho papers first, as in this case. Everyone I meet doubts this siory of Gertrude, and from what I hear she is very much inclined to figure as a heroine. I don't believe she had anyone cut her hair by force. 1 wish also to say that Mamie McMurray of 244 Leonard street was a short timo ago a resident of St. Marks place, near where Gertio lives, and, as I am informed, a schoolmate.

1 live on the same block as the giri and know all the children well, and 1 am not surprised at any roport of this kind coming up at any time. This story was not told to any police official, but was told to a lady who told another lady. 1 can say verbal rather than write what I think. This morning, in a Smilli street car, two littlo girls rode down town with their braids tied tightly under their chins, and a tour of observation among the schools showed that braids had suddenly gone out of fashion aud that "top knots" were the rule. The reporter saw Gertrude Breast at tho Public school No.

15 this afternoon. Sho caid she did not know Mjinmic McMurray but kuew her sister Silvio. The McMurrays formerly lived 011 tho samo block as Gertrude on St. Marks place. Wrhon told that Detective Reynolds intimated in his report, that sho had cut her hair herself or submitted willingly to have it cut Gertrude became indignant.

Principal Felter believes Gertrude's story. "Did you notice that girl just went said the principal, referring to a young miss that had left tho room, well she has a fine head of hair and her teacher said to her yesterday that ahe had better look out for it. Sho replied: 'I wish the men would cut it, it's a great bother, but mother won't let me have it Her name is Sadie Perry and she is a granddaughter of tho old commodore, the hero of Jjako Erie." Six months ago Florence Billings, another pupil of school 15 and who Jivos on tho same block with Gertrude Breast, was blindfolded on the street and had her hair cut off, but tho case was never reported. Little Charlie Holmes, of 341 Bergen street, says he saw tlie man described by Gertrude standing on the corner of Wyckoif street and Fourth avenue about 0 o'clock yesterday morning. He carried a large pair of scissors openly iu his hand.

Two other boys, named Brock and Hitter, also say they saw him and told a policeman, whereupon the man ran away. BROOKLYN HASH BALL GOSSIP. President liyruc TnlltN of Next Seusou's tram. "The prospect is lovely at present for the coining season of base bail in Brooklyn, said President Byrne, tho Brooklyn national league magnate, this morning. "There seems to be no doubt that tho long contemplated consolidation of tho Brooklyns, limited, with the national leaguo organization will bo effected at next Saturday's meeting of the former, and then, of course, wo shall go out to Eastern park for the season of 1891." "No; wo Bhall hardly havo tho team made up before the last of uext week," replied Mr.

Byrne in answer to a question. "The action of tho New York club ou Saturday last, allowing Ward to come to ns if proper arrange ments oould be made, makes it almost an assured fact that he will captain this year's Brooklyn team.

Men i silk hats and men in flannel shirts due their elbowB into each other'B ribs and grinned sociably, and women in paisley shawls and jet jewelry stepped amiably on tbo toes of women wearius seal skius and diamonds.

Tho kitchen and laundry aud the rooms in the fourth floor netted tho estato about $300.

The prices brought for white Btono ohina and ingrain carpeting were way abovo what they would he in the second hand shop. "If thiB thing keeps on upstairs," said a disappointed buyer, inspecting the mora or less damaged tin and crockery that had been sold in the kitchen," they will get enough to pay Smith's creditors in full. I never saw anything like the recklessness of thoso women." When the sale in the kitchen begun the crush was simply suffocating, aud tho crowd included two or three second hand dealer.

Comment Upon die Acti ot the (Jov cmmonl Suspending itic flay, London, January 28. The Times' Paris correspondent says that tho prohibition of "Thermidor" by tho government is melancholy and humiliating, and shows that the govern men is mjrely the tool of radicals and socialists a mask Lohind which an army of disorder is waiting its time to seize the power. Ho adds: It is stated that the management of a socialist paper distributed 200 tickets for Monday's performance." The aocietairea of the Thaater Fraucais company met late this evening to consider tho situation as regards "Thermidor." M.

Coquelin talked of resigning from tho company. Bartet waa in desi air because he cannot play in "Thermidor" at any other theater unless lie resigns his membership in theTheaterFrancais company. Doubts were expressed as to whether the play would draw a paying public elsewhere, although it was thought probable that the piece would not meet with opposition at an unnubsidized theater. On hearing of the reception accorded "Thermidor," a party of reactionists overturned the Btatue of Danton, leader in the French revolution, which stood in his birthplace, Arcis sur Aube. They did not deface the statue, but affixed to the pedestal a placard bearing tho inscription "Room to Let." The students have lent M.

Clarctie a letter indignantly denying that they organized tho "Thermidor" riots. Minister ConstatiB at first decided to protect "Thermidor," but after tho ministers had consulted with the prefect of police it was decided to prohibit the performance. Much indignation is expressed at the government for giving way to a group of socialist fanatics. The Y.Ymi! Shvle to day announces that it is reported that tho members of tho Theater Fraucais have decided to collectively tender their resignations to day in consequence of the withdrawal of Sardou's play of "Thermidor." The Finaro states that if the suppression of "Thermidor'' is sustained Coquelin will start on a long tour abroad and play "Thermidor" everywhere. In an interview published to day Sardon is quoted as declaring that he would not produce "Thermidor" anywhere but at the Theater Fran cais.

i M. Clarctie, the director of the Theater Fraucais, says that he has no intention of resigning. DE LACY MUST BE PAIO. The cx Uitinv Another Victory Over tile City. On appeal to tho general term of tho city court, Judge Osborne hands down in writing an opinion from that body in tho case of William Do Lacy against the city of Brooklyn, that the plaintiff is entitled to his salary as assessor for one month.

In 1884 le Lacy was appointed a. sessor for a term of four years. On August 31, 18SS, the mayor appointed General James Me Lcer to the oilice, iu place of Do Lacy. Tho common council did not approve Gciu.rttl Mc Lser's bond until October 1, and Do Lacy con liuueil to discharge diirica of his office during September and brought suit lo reeowr his salary for that month Judge Osborne, in opinion, says that in accordance with the provisions of part chapter V. i tie VI, arti de 1, section 0, of revised statute, any ollhvr dnlv appointed, except chancellor, jiistic.

too Minreme court and circuit judge, wiio s'h. ill havo duly entered upon the duties of his office, shall continue to discharge the duties thereof, although tho term of office shall have expired, until a suc.ccsor iu Buch office shall be duly qualified. In accordance with tlie powers of tho section the plaintiff held over until General was duly quallied. The question to be decided was when General MeLeer beeamo so qualified. Tho bono was not approved by the common council until October 1 and tlie court finds that not until this time was General Mcf.ser properly qualified aud, therefore, De Lacy is entitled to his salary for the mouth of September.

Continuing Judge Osborne says: "The learned counsel for the oily urges that Huch a construction interferes with tho power of appointment vested in the mayor solely, and that by tho common council deliberately withholding its approval of an oflicer's bond it can obstruct the mayor's power of appointment. One answer to such contention is that there was no such withholding of approval in this case, as General McLeer's bond was approved at the first meeting of the common couucil held after his ap pointmeut by tho mayor, while a stronger and more couclusivo answer is that we can only construe the charter and ordinances as we find them and if there is an omission therein, tending to abridgo or affect the mayor's powr of appointment, recourse must bo had to tho law making power to correct such au omission." Chief Judge Clement conourB in the opinion. HIE SEW lOllH STATE IiKAUUK OKOASIZIXQ. Tnoy, N. January 28.
