GREAT EXCITEMENT OVER THE ARMY BILL'S DEFEAT. Cnprlvl Willing to Compromise, but Couldnt Save Ills BUI Attack on the Vatican Excommunicated for Disclosing Confessional Secrets. Berlin, Mny 6. The result of the vote on the Army bill caused no surprise to tho government. Chancellor von Caprivi attempted yesterday evening to rally the wavering members to the support of the measure by offering to reduce the peace effective even below the number proposed in tho amendment offered by Freiherr von Huene.The offer, however, did not gain a single vote.

Tho Houses had made up its mind to reject tho bill, and the speeches made on the subject were addressed rather to the electors than to tho Reichstag. The most striking feature of the cloMiig 'debate was the rocurrenceof Anti-Prussian sentiments, especially from tho speakers of the Center party. Dr. Licber, who is a leader in the councils of bis party, after attacking Chancellor von Caprivi for having, as ho put it, resorted to tho worst form of Bis-innrckian methods to seciiro the passage of the bill, said "The Center party fights to-day against the ambitious of a centralizing Cresariem. We protest against tho militarism which translates itself in persistent endeavors to extend the principles of the Frussian State into the domain of Imperial legislatiou.

In the interests of the Empire we demand that the Prussian policy be confined to tho Frussian Diet, while the German prevail in the Reichstag." Neither Chancellor von Caprivi nor Baron von Mnntenffel, the Frussian Conservative leader, attempted to respond to Dr. Lieber attack. All tho speakers on tho Government sid-i simply ignored tho expressions of anti-Frussian sentiment. The Chancellor orumented vaguely upon tho democratic tendencies that have recently born developing among tho Cuitrists and suggested that tin policy now pursued by that party had its inspiration in tho Vatican, which, he said, wainowtho fri'nd of republican France, and trying to draw tho whole0 Catholic world iu tho same direction. Tho Gorman Government, tho Chancellor added, had hithortq appreciated tho support of tho Center party on social questions, but it had now learned a lesson.

The Center Party was Catholic first and German afterward. The party stood ready to commit itself to whatever democratic evolution foreign influence might choose to dictate. Dr. von lUnnigsen, the leader of the National Liborals gave a moderate tone to the debate in along speech, urging the House to accept tho concessions offered by tho Government. He deplored the inability of tho Roichstug to sink party differences in face of questions involving the extreme safety of the Enipiro and its prestige abroad.

The difficulty of successfully conducting tho affairs of the country had always been enhanced by the absence of a stable Tarliamentnry majority. A Government driven to rely upon a fortuitous majority could never presont to 'the country a really consistent national policy. What tho Reichstag ought to try to obtain was a strong moderate party established on a broad national basis. It seemed to him pitiful that no majority should bo forthcoming in response to tho Governments appeal in behalf of tho national honor aud tho existence of Germany. It was a bail contrast to the Farliamontary life of othor countries, notably England, where the most violent party antagonism never militated against tho continuity of the Imperial policy.

Emperor William has sent to Dr. Von Bonuig-ecn Ins special thanks for tho tone of his speech. Hurriodly convened mootings are being held in Berlin and other populous centers to-night. Tho promptness with which the Roichstag was dissolved immediately after tho defoat of the Government was announced, has taken overy body by surprise. Tho Social Democratic leaders are really ready for the electoral campaign, dlerren Rebel, Singer nnd Liob-kiiotht will leave Berlin to-morrow and bcglq nt once to stump the country in behalf of Socialist candidates.

In every district in which tho Socialists havo a fighting chance candidates will be nominated, and tho party expects, with reason, to have nn increased representation in tho next Roiclistng. The Emperor will not allow the dissolution of the Reichstag to interfere with the programme of his coming tour. Before starting lor North Cape his Majesty will go on a deerstalking expedition iu Froekelwitz. Subsequently ho will hunt over the estates of Gount llochberg's estate in Silesia. Count Hoch-berg, who was formerly a member of tho Ho-ciety of Jesus, has boon excommunicated by tho Church in consequence of disclosures recently made by him, and which arc held to have been breaches of the confessional.

SEEN AT MILKMANS. New Attractions ot this Mecca of Bar-gain Hunters. Among the bargain hunters of this city Milkman's store lias become a household word. There is probably not another place in the city where trimmed hats, hat frames, ribbons, cloaks nnd shoes aro sold as chap as at this storo at No. 442 Fulton street.

At nil times during business hours the six-story building is jammed with people eager to avail themselves of tho opportunity to save money. It has for years boon tho policy of Mr. Milkman to buy goods in such quantities as to enablo him to undersoil competitors, nnd tho throng of people which crowded tho different departments or his storo yesterday evening is pniplo proof of tho success of his efforts. The ribbon department offers a special attraction at present trom the fact that til silk'plaids are being disposed of there at 15 cents a yard, nnd satins, costing 25 cents in every other store of tho city, are being sold at 16 cents a yard. A specially lino assortment of straw hats in tbo latest styles is practically being given away at a prico ranging Irom fivo dents up.

The well-stocked trimmed-hat department, a new feature, occupies tho entiro third storv and the magnificent display at such wonderfully low figures is worth while seeing. Mr. Madden, the chief of theshoe department, has succeeded in securing a new attraction which will be displayed in one of the show windows on Monday. This attraction connate of the two smallest shoes in creation, one a russet shoe, and the other of French kid. They wero manufactured in Lvnn, nfter the measurement of Major Tom Thumb's feet, when he was still an infant.

The mates of theso shoes are now ou exhibition in Chicago. Mr. Madden agrees to pay $100 to any mother bringiug an infant whom ono of the shoes wil fit. TO TAKE MENS PLACES. A Machine at the Carnegie Works that Will Throw 100 Men Out of Work.

Fittbburo, May 6. The workmen of the Du-quesno Works of tbo Carnegie Steel Company confirm the report current that a cut in wages has been made in certain departments of the works. All of th6 furnace men, numbering about 300, have bad notice that a twenty por cent reduction of presont rates will take effect next Monday. Another important new departure at the works will turn on tests to bo nmdo to-morrow of the now process of hydraulic tu the manufacture of billets. If tbo trials provo sue-cesstut.

as anticipated, tho new methods will retire about 100 men. Stabbed for a Friendly Act. Late yesterday afternoon a fight occurred in tho coni yard of David Welsh, at Fulton street and Lewis avenue, between Joseph Riley and an unknown man. Riley during the row tried to stab bis opponent with pitchfork. Barnaul Cornellson, a colored man, who was standing nearby, tried to separate the combatants, and as a result received an ugly wouud in tbe bnnd.

After having his injury dressed by an ambulance surgeon he left for his home a No. 1685 Atlantic avenue. Riley was arrested later aft Pacific street and Troy avenue and lockod up in tbo Twellth Precinct Station. SOME POINTED COMMENTS ON THE TESTIMONY. All of It that Was Credible Was, He Says, Against the Assumption that Helen Potts Was a Morphine Eater The Conclusions of the Commissioner.

Aliuny, May 6. Coramihsloner Raines report to Governor Flower on the supplementary testimony in the Harris case was given to the press this afternoon. For tho most part it would prove extremely dry reading for those who have followed the testimony as it was reported daily in tho newspapers. The commis-sioner's comments Aptli0 testimony alone are new. Borne of those are of interest.

Mr. Rnincs says of the evidence given by Miss Jnekson and Anna VaddoIl tending to show that Helen Totts was a morphine enter: The testimony of Mias Jackson and Anna Waddell related to the winter of 1S88 and 1883, while deceased was a boarder in the Bchool known as Jackson Miss Jackson testified in substance that upon one occasion the doceAsed told hor that she had a powder or pill of morphine or opium that her uncle gave her to take for hoiidachcs; that sho supposed hor pnde knew what he was about, ns be was a doctor; that she did not see tho pill or powder. That during the same winter Miss Jackson made complaint to her father of her conduct in thb school and threatened to send her home, which resulted in a very excited interview between Miss Jnekson and the deceased, in the midst of which the deceased said of her home, it was a hell on earth and she would kill herself before she would go homo; that on the following day the mother of the deceased called At the school And nn amicable settlement of the trouble was made under tho advice of the mother, and that the same remark with regard to her home was rep ated to her mother by the deceased the presence of Miss Jackson on that occasion. Mrs. Fotts gave a very different account of the nature of the trouble between Alius Jackson and the dec(nscd.

and distinctly denied hearing any such expression made by hor daughter. It in impossible to reconsider tho statement of tho two witm Bscs as to the conversation whi. was lmd between them, but on account of tho utterly insignificant relation of the remark of the deceased with regard to hor homo Jo th( mutters in isHuo upon tho honfing, as it nnlcdAtod tho death of tho deceased some two jours, and on account of its being the utterance of a girl of 17 ycars.in a ponod of great excitement, if made nt all, and on account of tho remarkably kindly delations shown by the evi-denco to have existed between the deceased and her mother at nil tiroes subsequently at her home, it soems unnecessary for me to express nil opinion ns to tho credit to be given to Miss Jackson or Mrs. Iotts as to this particular remark uf tho deceased Helen Potts. I am inclined to credit tho stnteraenj of Miss Jackson, however, ns to thesinglo instnnee related by hor, ns abovo statr of the doceased saying that she had a powder or pill of mor-phino or opium that her uncle gave hor to take lor a headache.

Miss Waddell testified in substance that in May, 1883, nt the samo school, deceased showed hor small glass hot do containing from twenty-five to thirty small white pills, which dcconsod said wero morphine pills, and at the samo tirno took one: that it occurred in the Afternoon when storting out for a walk, and deceased gave ns a reason for taking it that it made her feel better beforo she went out for a walk; that she slept with tho deceased two or three nights and wns with her six weeks in the rooms adjacent iu the school, but saw no more of the preu-cnoo or taking of me rr bine; that Miss Waddoll did not know wimt morphine was, but docensod told hor she often took morphine pills. Miss Waddell further tcstiftfyi a pill was bitten through by herself nml it was bitter all through aliko and that tho pills wero an eighth of an inch in thickness Miss Waddell wad' a strong partisan of the defendant Harris, ns evinced by her manner and admissions in her tcRtunony, aud seomed to be making as much of tue facts within her knowledge ns possiblo for a deeply interested witness. 1 am inclined to believe that some occurrence between the witness And deceased in substance like that slated by the witness had occurred, but that it wub magnified bv tho witness ro that tho lino could not ho exactly drawn by mo between the fuel a and the additions mndo by the witness in her zcnl ns a partisan. I do not absolutely discredit her statement. Her testimony related toapmiod twenty months before the death of Mias Potts.

These witnowfl give all the creditable testimony thnt was produced tending in any degree to establish tho uso of morpnino by the dccensed prior to May, 1830, mutt months beforo her death. Mrs. Ethel Douglnss, formerly Harris, who testified in tnibstunco that deceased gave her ono morpkino pill in the winter of J888-80, and ono pill in July, 1889, he considered destitute of moral character nnd not to bo believed. CotnmisBiouer Raines gavo little weight to the testimony of Dr. Kmmonth aud his assistant, Woolmnu.

who claimed to have sold movphino pilld to Helen Potts on several occasions. Ho Bays: The condition of Woolnmns evidence discredits him fully, in my opinion. rk a corroborating witness. His partisanship was evident in his manner, nnd his confusion when confronted with his letter was painful. His contradictions of himself are fatal to his story.

His identification of Miss Potts depends wholly unon the declaration of Dr. Kiumouth, which Woolmun changed as reudily in form to square with lr, Kiumouths evidence ns ho seemed to chnngo any other substantial fact in issue from the deliberate form in which he had put his recolloc-turn for publication three days previously." In passing upon the credibility of Dr. Kin-mouth I do take iuto condition tho attempt to impeach his character for truth and veracity, though respectable witnesses woro called upon the subject." lie tltiuks significant tho testimony of Dr. Treverton to tho effect that when Helen Potts was under his care in July, 1890, she "had taken medicinal doses of morphine or opium Rovers! times ns administered oy Dr. Treverton, which exhibited marked narcotic efforts ns if administered to a total stranger to tho drug." In Humming up he says: The important period of inuuiry, the year 1890, seems to be fully covered by the evidence of the Trevortons ns to tho summer months at Hcrnnton, by the family and sorvan ts of the family, in the period when she was not at tho day hoarding school, whoro sho appears to have been from November, 1839.

to Feb. 1,1891. and where she died. But the uncontradicted ovidenco of tho teachers in thnt school and of her three room-mutes in that school is of such convincing force ns to make it simply impossible to believe that deceased took mornhiuo at the school except in the four pills furnished by dofendant Harris. Tho affidavits of the room-mates were not assailed in any form so that it became unnecessary to cause their oral examination to be taken by me.

The promptness of decensod in rising with her room-mates, in her Attention to school duties and exercises, her constant good spirits And sociability, her happiness in the Isst day of her life, ber vivacity during her evening visit with Miss Day on the night of her death, her conversations with Miss Read and her roommates about the taking of the fourth pill left by defendant Harris, and during her tint waking after tho retnrn of her room mates, her silence as to the taking of any oilier remedy or drug except that pill when tho foar of death crept over her so that she begged hor room mates to look every few minutes nnd see if she was breathing ns thev urged her to Bleep ngaie. Her declaration, "Carl said I could take one of these pills everv night for twelve nights in succession and he had' taken them himsolf. Carl would not give me Any- thing that would hurt mo," strongly sustain tbo conclusion tint her taking of a drug nt this timo was not from a secret supply nor from habit, but iu roliAnce upon the knowledge and care of othurs tor her welfare and upon the advice of her mother in the curly afternoon of the same day to take thnt night the fourth cap-sulo furnished hy defendant. In conclusion 1 am compelled to say that a cnrelul and couMcientious discharge of my duty compels my mind to the conclusion upon the evidence beforo me that the deceased took morphine medicinally prescribed for her and nut otherwise." A ricasnnt Stas Racket Company of tho Forty-seventh Rogiment at its armory, Morey and Lee avenues, last evening gnve a slag ackct, and a very excellent programme was rendered.

GUEST OF HONOR. JUDGE OELMAR TO BE FETED AT THE ACADEMY OF MUSJC. The Greatest Event of Its Kind Ever Given in This City Three Hundred of Brooklyns Most Prominent Residents Will Bo Present Everything Ready. Republics aro proverbially ungrateful; so are all organizations. When, therefore, a republic or an organization shows its appreciation of services well performed it becomes remarkable nnd is a noteworthy event.

Such an ovent will be celobrnted on May 9 by the Constitution Club and its friends end the friends of Judge John Dolraar at the Academy of Music. On that occasion Judgo Dclmar will be given a reception euh as no private citiztu of Brooklyn ever beforo received, and afterward bo the guest of honor at a banquet nt which tho Bnch and Bar, and medicine and other professions and every kind of business will be represented. He is to be thus feted and honored because when ho undertook to do a thing ho did it with all his might, and with his whole heart and soul, and' thus that which ho contracted to do was well done. This, really, has been tho secret of Judge Dclmiir's success in life. But it was left to tho Constitution Club to firfd it out in connection with its affairs, and having discovered this trait, and hnving been benefited by it, the club, being composed of men who were not afraid toncknowledgo morit when they boo it, resolved to reward the services so ably rendered.

When Judge Dclmnr was elected marshal of the Constitution Club for tho Presidential Inauguration, ho mado his preparations for the transportation of'tho members, tbeir hotel a commodution in Washington, the refreshments on tho journey thither nnd roturn, and attended to the other hundred nnd ono details with that business-like method which baa put him In tho front rank of Brooklyn business men. With liis innate modesty, howocr, he did not think he was doing anything extraordinary, nnd never thought that what lie did was more than could have been done by somo ono else. Tho readers of Tiie Citizen remember how tho Constitution Club marched bravely out of Brooklyn on March 2, under tho command of Marshal Dclmnr. From tbe timo the club left its headquarters until its return several days Inter, thero wan not a bitch to mar the clockwork like arrangements. It seemed ns if the club was particularly fortunate wherever it went or whatever it attempted.

When other associations wero side-tracked tbo Constitution went ahoad; when others wero looking for provuuder tho Constitution was living in clover; when other clubs wero sleeping on billiard tables anywhere they could "bunk," tho Constitution had the best rooms iu tbo best hotel in Washington. Tho members of tho elub ami those who accompanied them, seomed to bo dazed at first, nnd did not reniizo how well they fared until on their return trip they heard and saw how other clubs nud associations had suffered. They knew then that it was not luck that made their trip a holiday instead of a scramble, and Colonel David T. Lynch was the first to ndmit that tho good times they wero having was due to master mind, who bad foreseen just what was required, and had prepared for it. It was then that tho determination was formed by tho colonel and Captain Frost and some others that when thoy reached home something must be douo to express their appreciation of such exccdlent treatment and the magnificent services of Marshal Dclmnr.

It was intended at first to havo a email social dinner in one of tho first-class hotels of the city. A meeting was called at tho Constitution Club's room. No. 48 Willoughby street, and over fifty members responded to tho call. To those present Colonel Lynch expressed his views, and thoy wero rcroivcd with enthusiasm.

Tho meeting, after thoroughly discussing the pros nnd cons, resolved to form nn, organization to carry out the plnn to givo Marshal Dolmar a banquet. No one hud any idea at that timo just bow it would turn out. Those pres nt were ready to give a sort of informal dinnor at a hotel, or they were prepared to open tho doors (to all tboso who douired to join with them in doing honor to their fellow citizen. David Lynch was eloeted clmirman, Charles Foley, secretary, nnd Joseph W. Duffy, treasurer.

Chairman Lynch then appointed subcommittees as follows: Banquet Committee John F. Frost, Thomns Cns9iu, Colonel J. B. Meyonborg, Toast Committee Bernard Lamb, Thomas E. Pearsall nnd tho chnirtuun.

Tho chairman of tho Committee on Printing wns George Tyndall; on music, John M. Rankin; on decorations, Michael Kearney; on press, David T. Roche: After tho appointment of the committees, meetings woro held twieo a week, nnd it was then found that bo many friends of Judge Del-mar wanted to be present that the original idea had to be enlarged. It wns decided to hiro the Academy of Music, nnd to have Mnresi furnish tho banquet. At that time everyone supposed that tiny would have plenty of room, nnd scarcely thought that the 300 tickets they had printed would all be sold.

Tho committee did not know how populsr Judge Delmar was until it was announced thnt all the tickets bad been taken. Then about twice as many as had taken tickets applied for them But it wns too late. Tho limit had been reached. Those who had desired to bo present at the dinner, but had considered that there would be plenty of time when the day of the banquet arrived, fouud that they bad made a mistake. The committees have intended to their respective duties so faithfully that everything is perfectly ready now.

The banquet could now be given at any moment. Next Tuesday night those who hare tickets will assemble At 6:30, iu the Art Association Gallery, on Montnguo stroet, whero a reception will bo given Judgo Delmar. At 7 o'clock, Chairmnn Lynch says dinner will be ready and those nut proscut will have to suffer. A time table has been prepared, nnd it will be followed. Thomas E.

Pearsall, president of the ConVitutiou Ciuh, will preside at the banquet end officiate ns toastmnsicr. The programme will be a 4 follows. Welcome adrireM Thomas IVsrtt'l Minr Hi.noie Mr. Anuriw Uit CU) oi llrooklyn." It I- Honor. Ma-or TatM A.

ELOCUTION AN ART. Pupils of tho Brooklyn Oratory School Entertain.

Even tbo Touch Gallery with its plentijtude of recurring festivities among Brooklyn's society folk must have felt like congratulating itself last evening over the party it entertained. It was the second rehearsal of the pnpils of tb Brooklyn School of Oratory, and there gathered as guests the refinement of the city. The guest! were entertained and the pupils gave expression tho graceful elocutionary qualities they pos boss cultivated by the faculty of the school. First came the roheareal programme, which carried recitations, recitals and roadings, nn act from lugoniar and some instrumental selections. This finished, dancing followed, which was continued until it nearly passed over mid night into Sunday.

Miss Minnie Josephine Wooden, when the im provisod curtain was drawn across the conaerva tory end of the assembly oroom, disposed of the first number on the programme, Grazioso," 'an overture by Carl Foininger. Shakespeare's scene 1, act from Much Ado About Nothing," was given with good effect by Miss Mary B. Strickland, followed by a recitation by Mr. Charles V. Buckley.

He gave Joaquin Miller! Tho Battle Flag atShenandoah." The applause thnt followed its conclusion was loud ana long. Mrs. E. L. Hants gave nn exhibition of fancy club swinging.

Mrs. Banta is instructor of corrective gymnastics in the school. She was attired in a silk Grecian gown, which gave the muscles fullest opportunity to move in the difficult circles called for by the performer's graceful system. A humorous recital by Miss Madeline Fcarson, entitle Mice at Flay," 1 followed, and after that an original oration by Mr. Frank A.

What can be done with the voice shorn of all body gestures by a properly trained eloca- I tionist, was thoroughly demonstrated by Mia Martha E.

Strong, who read Longfellows The 1 Falcon of Sir Federico. The effoct wae very pleasing, and Mr. Walter V. Holt, principal of the school, gnve the closing numberof this portion of the programme. He selected "The 1 Imperial Bowman," by M.

A Nurse Supposed to Have Jumped from a Fifth Story Window Tbe police of the West 12oth street, New York, station, report that shortly after 6 o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. Simonson, 28 years old, who was employed as a nurse by Robert Davidson, of No.

L'p to 11 oclock tbe police had not found any body who could throw anv light on tbe matter. Tbe people who employed the woman gave hef a good character and could assign no reason why she should attempt hor life. The nurse retired at ber usual hour Friday night and no noise was heard in her room.

Tbe opening ot a window, however, would not attract any attention, and the suicide theory is generally accepted. The police, though, are making a full investigation.

"3 ro ra CO 5 S2 Citizen" cannot tell what you There is but one size 36-inch bust measure. co to cn a- ro THE LOCAL BILLS FLOWER WILL SIGN THE REST OF THEM TO-MORROW. It Was at Corporation Counsel Jenks Request tliat He Deferred Action on the Cplumbiun Audit and the Long Island Water Supply Hills. FROM TUR CIT17HNR SPECIAL COjmEStWrPXNT. Albany, May 0.

When Corporation Counsel Jenks left for Brooklyn on the 4:05 train yesterday afternoon, it was after putting in nearly throe hours of bard work at tho JCxecutivo 'Chamber going over Brooklyn and Kings County bills with the Governor. The result of his visit in tho signature of a dozen local bills bus already bocq stated in Thb Citizen dispatches. Mr. Jenks beforo leaving Albany told The Citizen correspondent that ho would return on Monday aud conclude the inspection of local bills. It was atMr Jenks request that the Governor deferred action on several important local bills, such ns the Columbian Audit bills und tho amended Long Island ater Supply bill.

Iho Corporation Counsel desires to go over these bills very carefully before asking the Governor to sign them, lest sorao error not so unusual a thing should have crept into them. When ho is satisfied that they aro all right Governor ITowor will Eign them. It is doubtlul if any local measure will bo etoed unless it be somo police bills which have not secured Mayor Boodv's approval. Theso are bills amending the Consolidation not so as to improve the status of certain employees of tho Police Department. The police surgeons are the beneficiaries of ono bill, aud would, should it become law, be rated its members of the uniformed police force, and consequently under Civil Service rules.

The police surgeons had a like bill introduced last year, but it did not pass. It was understood at the time that Police Commissioner iyden was not friendly to the scheme. If Syor Boody, nfter a consideration of those ills, requests the Governor to withhold his approval, they will not become law. That much con be taken for granted. Lawyer James C.

Church went homo vFry happy over thr Governor approval or the Now Utrecht Improvement bill, which he came up counsel for the town to intercode for. There were two New Utrecht improvement bills, ono authorizing the expenditure of half a million, and another with the figure at SbOO.OOO. The latter would in tho natural course of events have been the more nccoptnblo to the town authorities, but Lawyer Church explained to the Citizen correspondent that there was Rome slight doubt about the wording of the bill it was feared that an omission to stoto in the bill Rpecificully where the interest to pay the bonds was to come from, might render the measure inoperative, and, accordingly, to be on the sale side Mr. Chnrch submitted a brief requesting approval of tho 500,000 bill. The improvement bonds are to be fired "at long range, the assessments extending over forty years, ns in the case of tho Eighth Ward improvements.

One of the bills signed, by tho way, will permit the authorities to mako improvements in the Eighth Word without being hampered by tho Stay law, which now provides that the assessment must bo laid, end one-third of it collected before an improvement shall bo begun. Residents of Decatur atreot, Hcwos street and of Iutnam avenue, from Nostrand avertne to the city line, will breathe easier now that tho Governor signed the bills exempting theso streets from the operation of any raiioads unless tho owners of a majority of the abutting proporty first consent. This they are not likely to do, and by tboso bills the railroad companies me debarred from applying to the Supremo Court for a commission in lieu of the property owners consents. While theso bills wore before the Assembly there was some talk of money being used to smooth their wav to tho Governor, and it is, in fact, pretty well established that in tho Decatur and Howes streot cases, at least, sotno I money was used by the interested proporty owners. But the amount was small, hardly more than was necessary to pay the expenses of a counsel or agent in Albany, and leave a few dollars to be spent oo cigars for the boys.

Small as tho amount was. however, it is understood 1 that some of the smaller owners of property on Decatur street declined to pay their pro rata bare of the expense account after their wealthier neighbors had advanced the entire sum needed to secure the street's immunity from trolley tracks, nn immunity which all desired. Ho the wealthier residents paid the piper, whose music wasn't very expensive. Members of the Police and Fire Departments will be pleased by the Governors action in signing the bills permitting promotions in those departments lor special acts of bravery or particularly meritorious conduct. And it will enable Commissioners Hayden and Ennis fittingly to acknowledge cases of superior merit in the men under them.

The additional $50,000 appropriation for the completion of the Twenty-third Regiment's new armory which the Governor has approved ought to be sufficient, and is meant to be; bnt it isnt altogether certain tlmi it will be. Last year there was nn appropriation of $100,000 for completion of the armory; but tho $100,000 has bean spent and tho armory is not yet completed. You'll find that this additional appropriation will not suflice, cither," said a Kings Countv Assemblyman to the writer a lew days ago. wouldnt be surprised if they swallowed up another $100,000 in that building before they finished it," he continued. Colonel Partridge's son is a member of the firm which has a contract for work on the interior of the new armory.

But the whirligig of time and of politics Last year there wan a appnrtmument mid Colonel Townsen ls Assemble District was shitted.

Tins year Jamuica was in his district and Flushing was not. Jamaica secured tho normal school and Colonel Townsend and hw constituents aro happy. Their joy would have been complete had tho Governor signed thB bill for on agricultural experimental station and located the same at Jamaica, but this was not to he. and anyhow, a State Normal School is sufficient glory for Jamaica to snatch from on'1 session. In vetoing tho Agric.ilturd Experimental Station bill the Governor snid- I do not think tin eptnblihment of nn agricultural experiment station on Long Island is advisable at tne present time.

Moreover, if such an institution bo entaldinhed, it should bo under the direction and control of tho Commissioner of Agriculture. This the bill fails to provide." Of the 402 bills which were left in the Governors bands at the close of the session, about" half have been signed. ARTISTS MADEWHLE WAITING. An Official of the Ktriiscun Art Corn-puny Charged With Crookedness The old familiar scheme for making color artists to order, at short notice nud lor a cash consideration, has again struck a snag.

II. Fitch, a New York civil engineer living At No. 151 West Thirty-sixth street, was ono of those who tfn.iwered tho advertisement, ilis wife was anxious to occupy her leisure and persuaded Mr. Fitch to invoiligito. About a month ago ho called at tho Now York addrevs, which he found to be a branch of the Etruscan Corapnny, with headquarters in Teinplo place, Bostun.

There ho met Nathaniel Norman, who allowed that he was tho manager of tho con-corn as well as the inventor of tho Etruscan process. Tho company, ho told Mr. Fitch, would pnv 2 a dozen for transtering and coloring phutogrnpb after tbeir process to those who purchased nn outfit aud rules for instruction. When shown tho soorot of the newly discovered art Mr. Fitch waxed enthufinntic over its beauty and facility, and readily purchased a $5 outfit, the market value of which would be less than one-fifth that umomit.

In addition ho left a deposit of Til on the two dozen dictographs furnished him for coloring. IIo returned tho Eiotures completed, alter three weeks of com-ined labor on tho part of himself and wife. Mr. Norman, so it is claimed, examined the photos nml decided that lie could accept but ono. consequently Mr.

Fitch had forfeited tho $0 deposit. Fitch proceeded to tho JHToraon Market Police Court, whero Justice Grady issued a wurr.int for Nor mans When Dctectivo Foley readied tho place tho office was locked and the door boro a sign to tho effect that it was closed. He succeeded, however, in catching tho accused later at his residence in West Thirtieth Rtroet. Justice Grady refused tho bondsmen offered an held Norman for examination. A middle-aged man with gray mustache was in ehnrge of the Court street office when a Citizen reporter called thero yesterday afternoon.

Tho Brooklyn offices aro, to all appearances, partially occupied as living npnrtments. Tirffa is a small studio, a largo parlor and another room. Buaiuest did not appear to be brisk. The middle-aged gentleman denied nil knowledge of Mr. Norman or hi arrest, lie declared that tho manager of tho local branch was not in, but he was certain Mr.

Norman has nothing to do with this office. Whatever that gentlemans business methods might he, tho middle-aged gentleman affirmed that the Brooklyn branch was conducted upon a strictly moral and fair business hash, nud he hoped it would not be affected by Normans arrest.

The occasion for the gathering was tho announcement made by the pastor that the Biicrament of confirmation would be administered by Bishop McDonnell und in which he would bo itKsiated by tho Rev.

At 3 o'clock the young people assembled and took seats in the middle undo of the church, close to the chancol raiL Tho bibop, in capo aud mitre, with attending clergymeu, appeared on tho high altar shortly after, and, after making a few remarks explanatory of the sacrament about to be administered, the bishop took his seat.
