"Jack the Ripper," or whoever murdered Carrie Brown in the East river hotel, New York, last Thursday night is still at largo and tho New York polico seem to be baffled in their efforts to run him down. All their old clowa seom to be ex. haustod and they now appear to be busy looking for new Inspector Byrnes denied to day that ho had said tho man known aa "Frenchy" ia tho man who committed tho deod. The typo written statement which Acting Inspector McLaughlin read to a number of reporters Snturday night and which was prepared by Inspector Byrnes reforred to "Freuohy several timeB as the suspected man. Inspector Byrnos said to day that ho did not want the impresaiou to go abroad that he had positively Btatod that ho knew who tho murderer waH.

"I did not say I knew who the man was nor that Frenchy waa the man," Bald the inspector. "I said ho was euspeeted of being the man. As Boon as the newspapers got through discovering the murderer I can do hotter work on this case." Inspector Byrnes also denied that a man was arrested on tho steamship Philadelphia of the Red lino last night. Tho watchman at tho pier states positively that a man waa arrested thero and Captain O'Connor of tho Oak streot Btation admitted that such an arrest had been made. Tho man was taken into custody on suspicion of boing the murderer, but waB not held.

The man who anawerod tho deacription of tho one who occupied the room with old Shakspearo, and who was brought into polico headquarters with bis hands shackled by Captain Reilly, Saturday afternoon, seems to have mystoriously dis appeared, ne has not been arraigned in any police court yet, and ho is probably held at polico headquarters. Inspector Byrnes found tho sister of Frenchy to day and after questioning her ho sent hia detectives out on a now hunt. Tho police of Brooklyn are still busy on the case. A drunken man who was arrested on Mes street anawerod the description of tho mur derer, and early thia morning Neils Hansen, a Swede, waa arrested in a Furinan street boarding house on suspicion. Detective McCauley camo over with Mary Miniter to look at these prisoners, They saw at once that neither of them waa the wanted man.

Detectives Conway and Noonan of tho Second Brooklyn precinct made an arrest thia afternoon that may prove to be important. They havo been watching a lodging houao at 125Furman street ever siuoe since Old Shakespeare was killed. At noon a man known as Frenchy came to tho place. He was immediately placed under arrest. Ho does not answer the description sent out by the New York police, but becauBo he is oalled Fronchy and says he livsa at the Fourth ward hotel, the name by which the East river hotel is generally known, he is held.

Ho said his namo was Ell Coumanio. Ho is alao known as John Williams. Detectives are coming from New York to look at him. THE ATLAS AVENUE RAILROAD. An Incroaso of Capital stock Allowed by tho Stato CoukmlMionors, Special to thoVPaglo.

The stato board of railroad Somtuiasionors today approvod the application of the Atlantic avenue railroad company of Brooklyn to increase the amount of ita capital stock from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000, on tho condition that such stock shall not bo issued at loss than par, and tho proceeds thereof Bhall bo appliod to canceling the indebtedness for construction on Central avenue, Park avenue and other stroota and for miscellaneous expensos. Thia condition ia imposed inasmuch as the approval of tho board has not yot been given to tho chango of motive power from horses to tho overhead electric trolley Byatem, and the board does not thereforo approve of an fncreaso of capital stook for tho purposes of said intended change. SUNK IN THE SEA The Chilian Ironclad Huascar by Torpedoes.

A Serions Loss to tho Rebel Fleet Dnr ine the Battle or Caldnra Sent to Joiu the Blanco Enealada President Hal uiaccfla in Fear of Poison. Pahis, April 27. Advices recoived hero from Chili via Buenos Ayres states that during the battle at Caldera five torpedos were discharged at tho Chilian insurgents' war vessels, sinking the monitor Huascar as well as the Blanco Enealada. The dispatch adds that President Balmaceda'a fleet, after administering thia severe lesson to tho insurgents, returned to Valparaiso without having sustained any damage. Further news received from Chili ia to tho effect that the warship Florence, which up to the present haa been loyal to President Balmaccda, lias now gone over to tho insurgents.

It is alao stated that President Balmaceda is in dread of being poisoned. To Btich an extent dooa this feeling prey upon his mind that ho will not partake of any food which lias not beeu prepared by his own mother. The latter, consequently, prepares all the president's meals. The Huascar waa an armed cruiser of the con biued rani and monitor type. She was built in England for tho Peruvian government aud was captured by the Chilians 1870 during the war between the two countries.

Her guns wero turned against her former owner, and tho ship played an important part in tho reduction of Poru. Tho vessel was launched in 1805. Hho was of 2,000 tons displacement and 1,050 horse power. Her armor was IK1 inches thick at wator lino and 5J6 and 8 inches in the turret. She waa armed with two twelve ton Armstrong guns and two forty pounders.

Tho loaa of this ship, coupled with that of the Blanco Enealada, must seriously cripple tiio insurgents, whose lighting force is on the sea. Tho only vessel remaining iu their hands of any is the Almiranto Cochrane, built in 1S75, of tons displacement and 2,000 horae power, with 9 inch armor at water line, armed with four IS ton and two 1 ton guns. The rest of the lleet is composed of half a dozen gunboats and several small rams. The swift decimation of the navy by tho now torpedo cruiser Almiranto Lynch ia an example of the deadly power of the modern torpedo devices now for the first time put into practical operation.

Denver, April 27. The death by poisoning of Mrs. Josophine Barnaby of Providence, It. is the sensation or the hour. A startling diacovery waa mado by Profossor who, when seen, Baid: "Tho bottlo coutainod no whisky, nor could I find a traoe of alcohol in tho liquid.

I distilled ten cubic contimotcrs of it and no indication of aloo hoi was discovered. There IB no doubt that arsonic was prosont iu tho form of a solublo salt and in fatal quantities. I am concluding a qualitative analysis and, from a rough guess, would estimate that the liquid contained about two grains of arsenic to tha ounce. Upon looking at the stuff anyone ordinarily would aay that it was whisky. Thoro is no trouble iu coloring water or any aqueous liquid so as to mako it look like whisky.

Fowler's solution of arsenio was the aot ive and poisonous ingredient, and possibly Donovan's solution of soma aolublo salt of arsenic, like tho arsenito of Mrs. Worrall is somewhat better and hopes are expressed for her recovery. The manner in which the plan of niaillug tho mysterious bottlo became known is due to the fact that Mr. Wor rall'a partner has a little son who is a stamp collector. Whon the wrapper fell to the floor the boy picked it up and took tho stamps.

The postmark is plainly Boston, Mass. Thore were 05 centB worth of stamps on the wrapper, whioh waa typewritten, or 15 cents more than necessary. Developments aro anxiously awaited. Boston, April 27. In a special from Providence Mr.

Henry B. Winship, the financial head of the J. B. Barnaby company, in speaking of Mrs. Barnaby's death is reported as Baying: "There waa a murder.

In my judgment tho motive of gain inapired it. A mother'! life ia eafe in her daughter's keeping, especially when one daughter is in France and ono iu Montana. I believe the poisoner who sent that bottle of poiaon knew more about the vietim than any stranger could loarn by hearsay. It ia Bimoly preposterous to eonaidor it a deep mystery. The crime lies between peoplo tho number of whom I could count on the fingers of ono hand.

I am a trustee far tho Barnaby estate and have got money of my own to punish the dastardly perpetrator of that crime. We will spend every dollar in our hands. Detective Parker of tho local police has been operating the case for me thus far. I have received telograms from Denver that make moro positive action now desirable and I shall tako it. I shall go to New York and consult Iuspcotor Byrnes, who has consented to co operate iu connection with the Providence and Denver police.

If necessary the Pinkertona will bo also engaged and put on the trail. Thero will be no such thing as an escape for tho murderer, for ho shall not find a safe hiding place on earth. Have I any theory? Yes, I bave one, and it is founded on very substantial evidence, too. I think something definite wiR be reached by Tuesday night." DID NOT DROWN Annie Burdosch Was, However, Determined on Suicide. Longshoremen H.

ito a Difficult Task iu Iioscniug; a Hungarian Woman Who Mud Thrown Herself Into the Wntor Between Two Canal Boats. Shortly beforo 0 o'clock thin morning a neatly dressod and good looking woman of about 24 yeai'Bofago came slowly down Congress street toward Robinson's storos. Sho acted in an absent minded manner and waiidcred around the piers a short timo as if looking for something. Finally Bhe stepped aboard the canal boat John Yedder, lying at tho bnlkhead, and started fr tho further side. The lougshoromeu working aboard surmised that she wanted to get aboard of tho canal boat Andrew J.

Taft, which was lying alongside, with a plank gangway running between the boats, and bo they paid scarcely any heed to hor movements. The woman stopped at the edge of the John Tedder, took her pook etbook from hor pocket and cast it out into the wator, throw off her hat and made a dive between the two canal boats. Tho crew of the John Yedder immediately ran to her assistance and a boathook was let dowu aud fastened in her dress at the breast aa alio roso to tho surface She struggled hard, howevor, against being pulled up, and finally, with a powerful wrench, dislodged tho boathook from her clothing and sank again between tho boats, whero she was liable to drown by coming up underneath either of tho vessels and remaining there. John Smith.one of tho longshoremen, regardless of tho danger which men of his class know only too well, atrip pod off hia coat in a twinkling and dived after the woman, while tho crow immediately put wooden propj between the boats, to prevent them floating against each other and thua preventing thoao in the water from rising. Smith came up in a few seconds, holding tho woman, who was struggling violently to get away from him, and with the assistance of the crows of the John Vodder and Andrew J.

Taft they wero both hauled on the deck of the John Vedder, the woman iu an unconscious condition. i While all this had been going on Detective Dan Dailey had telephoned to the Fifteenth precinct station and Policeman Edward Worral waa sent down to tho dock. Ho arrived shortly after the woman had been taken out of tho water, and thanks to instruction received by the police force during the paat winter from the Red orosa society waa able to keep tho woman alive until the ambulance from the Long Island collego hos pital arrived, when Ambulanco Surgeon G. G. Ward, applied restoratives and got tho woman in condition to bo romoved to the hoBoital.

It took half an hour after tho ambulance arrived at the hospital to get the woman back to consciousness so that she waa able to walk. Then it was found that Bho was a Hungarian and iu broken English sliB explained that her namo was Anuio Burdoaoh and that sho had beon in this country three months, working as a domestic, but at what address sho could not remember, as it was written on a piece of paper which was in her pocketbook which ahe had thrown away just before jumping In tho water. Af tor getting this information from the woman, which was apparently all sho had to tell, tha hospital attendants left her alone for a abort time, when she lay back in her cot and began to moan, "Ob, my Charlie I Oh, my Charlie 1" incessantly. The attendants tried to get hor to talk moro aud tell what causod hor to attempt suicide, but ahe ignored thom utterly and kept on repeating the Barae thing ovor and over. The woman, Surgeon Ward said, is in a fair way to recover, though it is doubtfui if her mind is all right.

She was arrested this morning on Fulton street, Jamaica, by Constable Ash mead, and placed in the oaro of Janitor Murphy, at tho town hall. Lillie Bays sho is 18 years of age.

She iB under size and has ovidently been well brought up. Her hair, a jet black, sho cut off in order to disguise herself, the day that she left home. In conversation with a reporter sho admitted that her name was Lillie Carpontor. Her mother, she Baid, obtaiucd a diTorco from her father Bomo years ago, and both her father and mother married agaiu, Her grandfather, she claims, ia James Carpenter, a resident of Itidgowood and formerly a sergeant of police in the Fourth precinct, Brooklyn.

"Though thero may be a woman in the case and, doubtless is," said Mrs.

ltohrer to an Eaole roporter this morning, "thero is no truth in the rumor that my son borrowed money of me boforo going away. The truth is that I advanced him 51,500 four years ago to start hiiu in business and eamo on to Brooklyn from Carlislo, to keep liouso for him. Ho paid $3,000 for tho drugstore and built up an excellent business, which, if ho had attended to, would have Boon made him independent. But a woman whom I don't know.haa necurcd Borne kind of an inlluenco over him and but for her he would never have given up such a good business. The money I advanced him he repaid me long ago, and ho must have made monoy, though I don't knew what he did with it.

On Tuoada.y last he told me he had sold out and was going away and on the following day he removed IfTs belougiags from the flat and that's the last I've seen of him.

UnloM the $500,000 Bona Issue Bill Gets Through Sonic Existing Contracts Cannot Be Carried Ont An Immense Amount of Building; Gains On. The deadlock in tho legislature at Albany, if continued, will inclu lo among its dwastroiu con cquenco tho failure to pus tho bill to permit ihiB city to issue 500,000 of bonds to build new cchoolhouses ami to purcbaie sites. Tho prospect of failure nf this incisure allows an apparently serious aspect wbea couplel with tho liuan oial statemsnt made at tho last moetins of the board of education. Tnis statement included tho item of balance on money availablo for new building work. Tho amount waa $120,000.

At this mooting also contracts wero awarded for tho erection of school buinliutrs Nos. 3, 82 anil 83. The total estimatoil coat of these I uildings is considerably ovor There 't already a croat amount of school building 5rork under way in this city, an I 0:1 whioh con Sderable nuni i of monoy are yet to bo paid. Tho 'bard hail banked a the chancot of tho now l'ssueof $500,000 of bouds. The failure to get this monoy will render their situation extremely strained.

Not only will buildiugs for which kiteB have been buunht and plans made, and for which thoro is a crying need, not bo erected for a lonir time, but if tho iigurea do not indulge in tremendous mendacity the board of education will hare placed the city in tho position of haying engaged men to do vist piocoj of work for which it has no money to pay. Tho buildings now un ler way of construction by tho board are as follows: No. 80, on Bedford wenue and Hancock atreei, twenty four room ichool, which is intended to relieve tho pressuro du No.3 and which is nearly completed; the mag jiticeut boys' high school 00 Maroy avenno, tho jriolt work on which is begun; the largo addition 10 tho girls' high school, 011 No3traiul avenue nut llalsoy street, tlt3 foundations of whtcn aro well advanced; No. 27, on Nelson and Hicks Btroeta, an eight roim school upon which tho finishing touches aro being placed; No. 31, on Eagle street: a twelve room addition to the Du pont street building; a fourteen room addition to No.

30, on Stagg street, to be ready next fall. Then there aro No i. 20, S3 and 83, already nion tionod as contracted for at tho last meeting of the board, on April 7. No. 20 is an eighteen roru addition to tha building already Btauding 011 Quiuoy street and It ilph avenue, and which will costfOa.OOO.

No. 82 will bo a fourteen room lt hool on Fourth avenue and Thirty sixth street an I Ni. S3 a twenty four room, building to go upon Schenectady avenue Borgen street. These nine buildings will cost more than $1,000,000 ani will atlord accommodation to about nine thousand scholars. The excuse for this enormous expenditure of money for a building has existed in the groan r.v rcrowding of the schools in the localities (vIuto tho work has boon done.

In addition to ill this, however, thero is a great amount of Other similar work, for which, in Home cases at lt a jt, the demand is finite as urgent, 011 which the board of education has arranged the preliminaries audwore ready to goon and let contracts. havo been purchased by the board for now buildings in addition to tlioso mentioned in detail above as follows: Humboldt itreet, adjoining No.23; Herkimer atrect and Itaddlo place, Covert Btreetand Evergreon avenue, Van Oott avenue and Monitor street, Vauderbilt avenue and Butler street, and Harmon street and Irving avenue. The placos at which there is tho iuot urgent demand for buildings among these Bites aro on Covert street and Evergreen avenue, a locality built up largely in the last year or and from wharo the children aro forcod to travel awar to No. 73, a school that its own locality is already ablo to fill, and on Harmon itreet and Irving avenno near tho junction of the elevated railroad and the Manhattan beach road, ft'hero dwellings are going up in enormous numbers, and whero there is no school accessible. The uoxt school building for which contracts are to be lot by tho board is tho Gleumore avenue proposed eighteen room edifice, which ought to be namod among tho buildings sadly needed, but which impeded legislation and ore engaged appropriations will place among tho far off futurities.

At tho meeting of the board on April 7 a contract waB also agreed to for thft purchase of a sito adjoining No. 43, on Boarum street, for $25,000, and plans wore accepted fer the GHoumoro ave nue school odilloe, for tho now addition to No. 40 and, after some opposition, for the addition to No. 45. At the beginning of the yoar the financial statement submitted to the board showed that lucre waa a balance of $05,000 of the new building fund, $200,000 city appropriation and realized from the sale of bonds.

Out of this $540,220 there was to be deducted $322,404 of expenditures, leaviug a balanco to begin 1801 of 217,734.

The green slopes of Ilivrrside park are thronged with many thousand people this afternoon. It is tho sixty ninth anniversary of the birth of General Grant, and the day was taken to break ground for tho magnificent mausoleum which will hero after bo the final resting placo of the dead hero's mortal remaiui. The weather crowned tho day's ceremonies with all tho beauty that nature could give. The warm bteezo came down the rivor, tossing the national onsigu at the peak of tho cruiaer Yan tic, lying just at the foot of the bluff and stirring the Hags which wero here and thoro raised in the park. The ouly preparations whioh had been made for the groat throng consisted in a small platform erected just at the south of tho tomb and a few hundred camp chairs immediately in front.

For tho rest tho green slopes of the park made up tho auditiorium. Within tha crypt a mass of foliage plants and out floworB wero massed completely concealing tho metal box whioh contains the remains. Pretty nearly everybody was late in arriving at the bcoiio of the afternoon's ceromonioB, and it was Bometimo after 1:30 o'clock when the mom bora of Alexander Hamilton post had got together at tho Claroment hotel just north of the tomb in sufficient numbers to form an escort for tho speakers and guests of tho afternoon. Commander Eockwell and Lieutenant Eobo came ashore from the Yantic, tho latter with a signalman to announce to the ship when the firing of tho saluto Bhould begin. Tho transport, Cheater A.

Arthur, arrived at 1:30 o'clock with the military band and a company of the battery from Governor's island. Gonoral 0. 0. Howard came on tho same boat with a nnmbor of his yonngor officers. Tho battery ascended at onco to the crest of tho hill, hoadod by the band playing a lively air.

Grand army men representing every post in Now York, Brooklyn and tho vicinity began to arrivo in small groups. Hamilton post, with Commandor F. 3. Bartiam at its head, formed in front of the Clarcmont at 2:15 o'clock. Armed euarda of tho post liued tho steps of tho hotel, botweeu whom the officials and guests of tho day passed to tako their placo in the center of tho lino.

TheBo included Department Commander Charles H. Freeman and staff, ex Mayor Grace and members of the executive committee of tho Grant memorial fuud association, aids de camp of the commander in chief of the Q. A. II. and civilians, including Mayor Grant and a large number of tho city and stato officials.

The post conducted the party to the tomb, where they took sea's ou'the platform. The site of tho magnificent structure which is formally begun to day resta only as a series of pegs driven in the grassy slope in front of tho present tomb. Tho spectator walks at will among the pegs and only pictures in his mind tho beauty of tho spot which excalls in charm any placo for miles around, it is ground to inspire heroic thoughts anew in the mind of those who in future years come to visit tho resting place of tho dead general. Tho procession of guests and speakers and grand army men arrived at the tomb at 2:30 o'clock, and with the military formed a hollow square about tho platform. At 2:30 o'clock a sailor waved a red signal flag witii a white squaro in the center from the projecting bluff and a few seconds later a heavy roar sounded over the water from ono of the Yautic's big gum'.

An overture was played by tho marine band andliev. Dr.ClarU Wright, chaplain of tho state G. A. R. and also of Hamilton post, offered a prayer.

A full chorus, under the leadership of Silas G. Pratt, sang tho Spangled Banner," and then General Horaco Fortor was introduced by Commandor Freoman, and began his oration. Tho exercises concluded with the formil breaking of the grouudfor tho tomb by Commander Freeman. Ho had for this purpose a solid silver Bpado made by the Gorham company and engraved with all the principal events in General Grant's history. A wheelbarrow decked with flowers received the first sod.

His demise was hastened, however, it is tho firm belief of his family, by his being suddenly and unexpectedly removod a few months ago from a position which lie had creditably occupied for an average lifetime.

A Resident of Queens Coanty, In nn Alfl davit Submitted to the Snprcmn CoHt Makes Several Interesting and Surprising; Allegations. This morning beforo Justice Bartlett an extraordinary story waa brought to tho attention of tho supremo court by an order obtained by Lawyer Ira Loo Bamberger iu the matter of tho peoplo of the atato ex rel.

Joseph Vollkommer against Carman Combes. Tho order staying further prooecdings in tho caao was granted by Jus tioo Bartlet, under which the defendant was al lowod to give bail in tho sum of $200 and to ap poar before tho grand jury. The proceedings on whioh tho stay will act aro those ponding beforo Civil Justice John Pettorson, and tho story, with all its peculiar phases, is set forth in the affidavit of the defendant on which tho order was obtained. In that affidavit Mr. Combes deposed that he is 48 years of age aud resided with hia wife and Bix chii.lrenin the county of Queens.

For twenty throe years ho has boon engaged in the milk buai neaB, and all his property is situated In the county of Queens. Tho deponeutaays that ho has known Robert Weiskittel and Joseph Yollkommer, who oompose the firm of Yollkommer for ten years, and waa aoenstomed to buy feed for hia cattle from them. In, September, 1889, tho firm claimed that ho o'wed them $286, and, although ho nover was served with any summons, they outerod a judgment against him through Charles Volta, their attorney. Continuing, the defendant aays that on Thursday last an aotion in which ho was plaintiff and Voltz was defendant was called for trial beforo Judge Van Wyck iu the city court of Brooklyn. Tho case waa marked ready and passed for the day to bo tried the following day.

Late on Thursday afternoon, however, tho deponent says that he was arrested in Evergreen on a warrant issued by Judge Pettorson. The warrant was on an affidavit made by Vollkommer at the Instance of Voltz to the effect that in September of 1889, in anticapation of insolvency and with the iutent to defraud hia creditors, the deponent conveyed hia property to another. Thia affidavit, however, did not Btate that the property in question was situated in Quoena county. Tho deponent then continued: "A policeman with a pair of handcuffs and two constables camo to my house and took mo therefrom by forco and compelled mo to go to Brooklyn, claiming to act under the Baid warrant and the directiona of Vollkommer and Voltz. When these men arrested me tho policeman said, 'You havo a case to raorrow iu the city court, haven't you I replied that I had.

Vollkoramsr'a wagon was standing on the road and I was orderod to got into it aud waa driven to John Patterson's. Arrivod there. I demanded to know for what I was arrested and Mr. Petterson addressed mo aa follows: 'You may consider yourself lucky that them lawyers treated you bo lenient: if it was me, I would have had you arrested before you left tho room in which you was oxamiuod by tho I at onco realized that it was a personal matter with the justice of the poace and said I waB ready to give bail, which he fixed at notwithstanding that section 737 of the code of criminal procedure urovides, as I am advised, that the bail shall not exceed $200." Mr. Combos thou goes on to say that tho justice demanded and was paid 50 cents for tho undertaking whioh George L.

E. Mayor executed and justified in tho huiu of $7,000. The justice, however, told the dSponont that he would havo to get other bail in the morning, as Mr. Mayor's real estate was situated iu Queens county. The matter waB then adjourned till Friday morning.

Tho deponent then told the justice that he had a case on the same morning in the city court, to which the justice replied: "Oh, I know it, but your case against Mr. Voltz don't amount to nothing." That night Mr. Combos obtained tho services of xiawyer Bamberger, who tho following moru lug appeared beforo Justice Petteraou and entered an objection to the amount of bail fixed aud informod tho justice that he had no right to hold the prisoner under the warrant. To thia tho deponent says that Justice Petteraou replied that he would show Mr. Bamberger if tho bail was exceBBive and whether he had a right to fix it at $1,000 and that ho would now fix it in spite iu the aum of $2,000.

Continuing. Mr. Combea Bays: "At this juncture I came into court and Petterson aaked mo to uload. My counsel instructed mo not to plead, as he desired to remove the case from the justice's court. The justice thereupon said that 1 had no right to counsel until I had pleaded ami Mr.

Bamberger then insisted that I had a right to counsel at everv stage of tho proceedings. The justice then hammered on his desk and refused to listen to Mr. Bamberger. My oounsol theu moved under section 58 of the oodo of criminal procedure that tho proceedings boforo the justice bo adjourned for not leas than five or more than ten days for the purposo of procuring the certificate specified in aoctiou 57, but the jnstico refused to grant the adjournment. Ho said that unless I could get what ho termed 'city bail' tho officers should take me to prison, and although I had two freeholders of Brooklyn in court who had executed an under taiiiug the justice refused to accept them until he had tried a petty civil Buil and compelled me and the bail to wait in court until about 11 o'clock.

Iu tho meantime my action against Voltz in tho city court of Brooklyn waa adjourned on account, of my iuability to bo present." Tho deponent then sets forth that John Pettorson ib a Justice of tho peaoe; that tho regular polico magistrate appointed to presido iu criminal matters and to whom an application for tho warraut should havo beeu made, ia Thomaa J. Konna; Mr. Comoes therefore demands that tho proceedings in question bo removod from Justice Petteraou, for tne reason that he is biased and iirejudiced against tho deponent; that tho said 'etterson is mentally incompetent to try the case; that the said Petterson has no jurisdiction over tho deponent and that the bail is unreasonable and excessive and agaiust the statute. Iu conclusion Sir. Combes saya: "It ia a well known fact in the city court of Brooklyn that the Baid John Petterson writes and speaka the English language very imperfectly aud has not tho legal qualifications which entitle him to preside at the trial of this action or of any other action.

I make this statement being fully adviaed of the gravity of tho charge, and assuming the full responsibility thereof. I am advised that sections 50 and 00 of tho code of criminal procedure, defining tho Jurisdiction of the court of special sessions and police courts in Brooklyn, limit tho jurisdiction to misdemeanors committed within Kings county."

Dickinson, Its Grovr'h Was stopped by Hor Appear, anee in New York and Hor Denunciation of Hor sistor Tho List of Subscribers to It. Anna E. Dickinson's leoture in New York made the question of her sanity moro prominent than it haa been and convinced most peoplo who heard it or who have read reports of it that the woman is mentally unsound. The lecturo was mado up in about equal part3 of reminiscences of the timo whon she waa a groat public force and of personal attacks on various public men, iuclnding President Harrison and ex President Cleveland. The talk was rambling and interspersed with teara, and sev oral women left tho theater during Home of her most astonishing statements.

The an iience was small. Hor manager announces that Bho will Bpeak in Brooklyu next Sunday night and after that in other cities. Hor old friends are disinclined to talk about her to lay, holding that her age and her past services should shield her from pnblio diacussion. One of them, a physician, yesterday said that he thought her insane and predicted pretty accurately the sort of an address she would make. The Eaole secured thia morning a full statement of the fund which was begun in thia city on March 0, a few days aftor Misa Dickinson waa sent to tho Danvillo, iiuane asylum.

The fund was raiHod in response to an appeal mado by Mrs. Laura C. Hollowsy Langford on March 8, based upon letters from Susan E. Diclt'uiion as to Anua'd condition and necessities. Goueral C.

T. Christenson of tho 'Brooklyn trust ompany consented to act as custodian of the fuud. On March 0 General Christenson started the anb Other subscribers were: Henry Davitt Wheeler, Miss Siideo V. Milne. f2; Amos F.

Blaekwoll, Elizabeth, N. $. Edward Wood, New York, $10; Cash, New York, $5. These twenty three subscriptions were received by March 21, and on March 25 Gonoral Christen Ben sent the total amount of the subscription, $350, to Misa Susan E. Diekinsou at Wost Pitts ton, on letters from her representing that Anna Dickinson should be removed to a private asylum.

Sho was sent to Dr. Seward's asylum at once, presumably with this money. A week later she was iu New York, miking her personal statement to the rooortera, in which sho charged her sister with forgery, with trying to poison her and various other crimes. That statement raised tho question of Misa Dickinson's sanity and it promptly checked subscriptions. On March 27, after tho romission of the $350 to Susan E.

Diokiusou, but before Anna E. Dickinson had como to New York, A. B. B. of tho Plaza hotel, New York, sent iu April 1, Caroline D.

Ely sent in $55; April 0 $5 was credited to Mrs. M. G. M. Pollard.

Mrs. Pollard Bub scribed in responso to an appeal iu a New York pauer by Miv. Florence Ives, an old friend of Misa Dickinson. Tho appeal aud tha subscription were made beforo the general appeal mado by Mrs. Langford.

April 15 M. K. T. of Eureka, and April 27 $1 was received from Mrs. Anna Oliver of Dresden, Germany.

This leaves $07 in General Chrisconseu'a hands subject to Anna Dickinson's order. An appeal was aent out to tho members of the Brooklyn woman's club soon aftir Mrs Laug ford'n general appeal, asking eaeh meiubar to to aid in the care or Mias Diokiusou. Mrs. Catliu, treasurer of the club, received about $00 before Miss Anna Dickinson's personal statement. Mrs.

Amelia K. Wing, president of tho club, said recently that the fund would have been much larger but that Miss Dickinson's statement raised tho question whethor sho was insane or not and left everything in tho air. The original plan was to send Misa Dickinson to Carlsbad for treatment, and thero were wora iii who would gladls give to furnish MiBS Dickinson medical care if alio needed it. But subscriptions were withheld until they know what Misa Dickinson's condition waa and what would bo dono with tho money. This leaves about $120 in Brooklyn for Mias Dickinson.

Subscriptions have been opened in othor citiea but the amounta received have been very small. Miss Dickinson ha3 beon in New York at tho house of a friend most of the time since her first appearance in that city. She ia not under tlie control of anybody uuleaa it bo her lawyors, Howe Hummol, and her loeturo manager, MeGoachy, who is connected with that linn. Her sister Bit san iB sick at Pittaton and her brother in California has taken no action. There is nothing to provent her coming to Brooklyn noxfc Sunday night and to other citiea, and repeating tho talk which ahe delivered iu Now York laat night.

Tho most obvioua restraining iufiuonco ia tho prospect that thero would uot bo people enough in the audience to pay tho hall rent. Mra. Langford, who raised tho Brooklyu fund, declined to say anything about the matter this morning, except to authorize the publication of tho subscription liat. WHY THE STORE IS SHUT. Monahan CJave Cooper a Check, for 000 and Can't tiet it Knelt.

Tho A. H. King company's furnituro store, at Fulton atrect and Bedford avenue, is still cloied, but the subject matter of the obstinate fight between Charles Cooper, tho owner, and H. V. Mon ahan, the lesaeo or cx lesseo, has leaked out.

When Monahan took his long lease of the Btore he gavo Cooper a certified cheek for $20,000 to biud tho bargain. Thia check Mr. Cooper loat no timo in transferring to his own bank account. After Monahan movod into the now place and undertook to sell the stock of furnituro he had bought ho speedily became dissatisfied and tried to throw up tho lease. Cooper, however, refused to return tho $20,000.

Finally Monahan shut up tho store one Saturday night and loft the key on Mr. Coopor's Bhoulder, aB heretofore told in the Eaole. Mr. Coopor has left tho atoro closed over since, oxcopt that he and Monahan mado a truco oue day long enough to enter tho Btoro and deliver to customers some goods orderod, but not delivered when tho Btore waa shut. Prcsnmtibly Mr.

Cooper thinks that $20,000 will pay for a good many weeks' rent of an idlo store. Mr. Monahan was fouud by a reporter thia morning, but declined to talk about tho matter further than to say that he should auo Coopor for tho roturn of tho $20,000 aud had retained Wiliiam J. Gaynor aa hia attorney. Ho was convinced, ho added, that he had the good end of tho case, but ho would say nothing about his reasons for throwing up the lease.

Freeman explained that in viewofasug gestiou mado by the mayor at a previous meeting, he had made the plans for a building to cover tho whole of tho site on Jay near Willough by street, which has a depth of 107 feet 0 inches. Mayor Chapin replied that it was only a hint ho had made, and added jocularly, that he was just grasping enough to want to uso tho whole of tho lot. The upshot of the matter was that the architect waB authorized to alter tho plans ho as to provide for a building with a frontage of 50 feet and a depth of 102 foot 0 inches. Mr. Freetaan asked whether it was to be a fireproof or non fireproof building.

He thought ho oould be ready in about threo weeks with plans for both styles, and would then submit them to the commission for examination. The commission docided to see the plans beforo deciding the question. Thou it deeidod to sell to the highest bidder the present headquarter building on Jay street, tho purchaser to remove them. Tho commisaion authorized tho expenditure of $850 for cells buildings for women prisoners at the Fifteentli and Eighteenth precinct polico stations ($850 for oach building) and $1,000 for the Tweutioth precinct station.
