PAGES. PRICE TWO CENTS a mac ivini s' NEWTON IN THE "PEN." THE WALL ABOUT BILL. nrAniiMv.jifo satisfactory explanation, and was taken initio custody on suspicion of having been lmoiearted in the attemuted murder of iptgBanOelli "ROAST HIM MURDEROUS HO Lll IM Torn With Anxiety for. "Your Institution," AND HAS A LITTLE CIRCULAR THE TRUE INWARDNESS OF WHICH IS HEREBY EXPLAINED WHY THE FLATBU8H STATE 3- MAN WANTS THE CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS OF BROOKLYN TO FIGHT TWO OF MR. WRAT BILLS.

Brooklyn people are familiar with the efforts made by Mr. A. T. White, now Commissioner of City Works, to restrain, through the courts the payment of a fixed sum out of the Excise moneys to the Inebriates' Home at Fort Hamilton on the ground of Its The sum, which amounts to many thousand dollars yearly, is an arbritrarlly percentage of the Excise -moneys, and the people, as by the Board of Estimate, have n6 voice whatever in the But the courts decided that the law, under which the Home received the money, was constitutional. To bring the distribution of all of the Excise moneys back into the hands of the people a bill has been Introduced at Albany by Mr.

Wray providing that all these moneys be paid directly into the revenue fand without being inter cepted on their way by the Inebriates' Home or any other charitable or semi- chari table institution. Assemblyman Flnnigan has taker; up the cause of the Inebriates' Home and proposes if he can to bring all the influence of all the Institutions benefited by the Excise fund to his end. In pursuance of this plan Mr. Flnne-gan has sent out the following feeling circular: Brooklyn. March 20, 1894.

A bill recently Introduced in the As sembly of this State provides that all Excise moneys received by the city shall be paid into the. city treasury and snail constitute a pan oi ine revenue fund of. the city. The- effect of the passage of this act will be to deprive your institution of the amount which you now receive from rjxcise moneys which I believe was lor tne year i. The interest which I feel in your in stitution prompts me to call your attention to the matter.

Respectfully yours, MICHAEL E. FINNIGAN, Assemblyman for the Sixth district. Kings County. i The Inebriates' Home is in his baili wick, and is not now required to give any accounting to the city for the money the people, under tne present law, must pay to it without question. Mr.

Finne-gan would like very much to have that condition of affairs continued, but he conSder and. Indeed, makes no mention oi tne nome in his ttrcularr He is torn with anxiety- fiercely strong though it be, but or mushroom growth for the charitable in stitutions of all denominations, mat win. he savs. suffer if the bill becomes ia.v. It would be harsh to say that the circu lar was a lvlng one.

It is true, never theless, that it conceals, or perhaps econ omises the truth in several particulars. For instance, it is not in accordance with fact that the institutions addressed would be deprived of their share of the excise moneys if the bill concerning which Mr. Flnnegan writes becomes a law. The purpose Is merely to put the distribution of the excise moneys In the hands of the Board of Estimate. How these moneys shall be distributed and how the Inebriates' Home iB placid on precisely the same footing as the in stitutions to which Mr.

Jjinnegan appeals, is provided for in another bill, also Introduced by Mr. Wray, and the existence of which the Flatbush statesman has ignored in his circular. The majority of tne people, witnout distinction of party, strongly favor Mr. Wray bills. If any institution comes to the aid of Mr.

Flnnegan, it will be putting itself on record as opposed to the right of the people of Brooklyn to say how their own money shall be disposed of lh aiding public institutions. THE KEARSARGE. Rear-Admiral Stanton Testifies Re- garding Her Loss. LIEUT. LYMAN ALSO BEFORE THE HEYERMAN COURT-MARTIAL EVIDENCE OF A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION BETWEEN HIM AND HIS COMMANDER.

The announcement that Rear-Admiral Stanton would be called upon to testify at the court-martial of Capt. Heyerman, attracted an unusually large crowd to the Navy Yard. The session opened at 10:30 o'clock, and Lieut. Lyman took the stand to identify the charts, sailing directions, of the Kearsarge. Rear-Admiral Stanton followed.

Ke testified that on the morningi of the. accident the chart showed thev vessel to be forty miles from Roncadcr veef, and course being changed, at 3 o'clock, at about fifteen mile. The reef was not sighted at dark, and at 6:15 toe navigator stated that they had passed the reef by five or six miles. At 6:55 breakers weie seen ahead about two hundred yards and soon after the vessel struck. Lieut.

Lyman, being recalled, testified that in mapping out the course it bad first been intended to pass the reef sixteen miles to the south, but later It was determined to go by it from three to five miles to the north. At noon on the day of the accident he had asked to have the ship's speed increased so as to sight the reef before night, but Commander Heyerman didn't agree with him, desiring to save his fuel and believing that the winds would soon freshen. The speed was therefore not increased until later in tne aay. unis conciuaea tne testimony ior r.ne day, and adjournment was taken til Monday. One of the principal witnesses for the defense will be Capt.

John Adair of the Aguam, which was wrecked on 1 Ronoador while Warner Miller's party was on board some years ago. A HORSE KILLED IN COLLISION.

AN AGREEMENT WITH THE MEN ENTERED INTO BY THE COMPANY THIS AFTERNOON WAGES TO BE INCREASED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. After nearly ten hours of argument yesterday and to-day between the officers of the Brooklyn City Railroad Com pany and a committee representing their employees, the struggle on the part of the men for an increase of wages from $2 per day, cametoan end this afternoon, and the danger of a strike was averted until the first of next year- The agreement was In-a slight sense in the nature of a compromise, although the contract whlvh the committee Btands bound to sign la'er in the day was the one proposed to the men on Dec 18 last, and which has, up to the present time, been rejected by them. It provides for wages of $2 per day; but the compromise feature which has led settlement of the difficulties includes, it is stated, a promise on the part of the comparty-to rj fir Aon- lncrease mese wdgeis to n-i. mr liest moment it is possible to do so. -The date at which this Increase is to take place has not yet been settled, but it is said that it will be later In the day.

President Lewis says that yesterday's conferences were of the quietest nature, and he compliments the men highly on their moderation. Arbitration Commissioner Feeney called the company's office to-day, but was not admitted to the conference. He was told that everything had been practically settled, and left, satisfied with the result. BEHIND CLOSED D00KS. DEPOSITIONS IN THE POLLARD-, BRECKINRIDGE CASE.

It was agreed that he should hear argument on the admission or exclusion of he disputed evidence this morning at 10 o'clock. Shortly after the appointed hour, the arguments began, but behind closed doors. Only Col. Breckinridge and his attorneys and the counsel for Miss Pollard were present.

CITY WORKS COMMISSIONER WHITE TALKS ABOUT IT. City Works Commissioner White, at whose suggestion the Mayor's Advisory Committee was appointed to Investigate the WaJlabout Market leases, with the result to frame a bill for the untangling alt airs in the market and make the leases a source of revenue to the city, made some comment to-day on the op position of the lea -holders to the measure as described in last evening's papers.

It was Inevitable. Mr. White eaid, that some panties would feel it a hardship. Mr. White proceeded to point out the few differences between the bill prepared by the Advisory Committee and that offered by Mr.

Grant irt behalf of those who protested. Mr. Grant's bill, he said, would be likely to bar out competition. Mr. White declined to express his views in full of the new measure, as if became a law it would be hi province execute its provisions.

OPPOSED TO THE TUNNEL. A committee of members of the Citizens' Association of the Seventeenth ward, called upon the Mayor "to-day to express their opposition to the bill, to tunnel Newtown Creek. The Mayor told them he was not In favor of the bill. This committee think that bridges would answer every purpose, much bet er than tunnel. On Tuesday night, there will be a meeting In the ward, in favor of he tunnel, but It will prepare a new bill.

A Sharp Straggle is in spective. Pro- QOEER COMBINATIONS IN VIEW. CADMUS AND ANBURY AGAINST M'GINNISS NAVAL OFFICER WILLIS ON PATRONAGE RULES AND ORDER COMMITTEE ELEV ENTH WARD ANTAGONISMS MAYOR SCHIEREN AS A GUBER NATORIAL CANDIDATE. Now that the special election in the Eighth ward has been held, and a Super- isor duly elected, after a severe and sharp struggle, it would, seem as though the Republicans of the ward were entitled to, and would take, a rest. But that dor seem to be the way that they are Pugnacity is evidenced on every hand, and the future is likely to see some sharp fighting done.

Among the latest rumors on tap is that there Is a petition for the reorganization of the ward, a new enrollment In every district, and in the event of such an order being issued, a series of combinations mat wouia oe considered miner start ling corsidering the history of the past two years. John J. McGinnis Is the present recog nized leader of the ward, and from his action has strongly antagonized the old Cadmus element, as well as the Thorn party, now recognized under the title of the Hanbury party, and the story now is that the old Cadmus faction and the Hanbury people will Join in a common effort to knock Mr. McGinnis out. If such a combination should really be effected.

It would Indeed be carrying out significantly the old aphorism that poll- tics makes strange bedfellows. "Naval Officer Theodore B. Willis, chair man of the Sub-committee on Patronage, was seen this morning, and. he was asked whether he had read Col. Milden berg's interview, in yesterday's Standard Union, in, regard to the policy of the committee.

He said he had read very carefully, and it fully expressed the views and lines upon which the Pat ronage Committee desired to proceed. The Rules and order committee will meet to-night at the new Building, on Nevins street. The Organization Committee is also ex pected to meet to take up the question raised in the Eleventh ward the other night in the change of votes in the Men- ingerSchlusser imbroglio, and where Dr Johnson's name was substituted. The ground of the protest of the Schlusser people is that they have the same right to protest that the Menninger people originally had, and propose to assert it. There Is a story out that Mayoi Charles A.

Schleren is likely to be brought forward as a Gubernatorial can dldate. Among politicians, Gen. Benja min Tracy has the call. EASTER AT ST. MARK'S.

The police enquired at 2072 Atlantic avenue and found the brother of the prisoner, but -he said that his I brother had not been there for the past two- weeks. Kerth is therefore held for the present. The Dorris residence is the second in row of two-s ory and basement brick house on the south side of Sixth, avenue, there being a store and a vacant lot between them and Twelfth street. Back of the row are several vacant lots, Con necting wi another fronting on Twelfth street. It is through them that the burglar probably made his escape, for after daylight this morning, the foot prints of a man they being ten lncnes long by about three one-half, wide were discovered in the soft soil on both Bides of the fence, back of the Dorris' residence.

The man had evidently intend ed to take his departure by the front door, whic hhe had left ajar to facilitate his escape, but Officer Ansart was loo quick for him, and he was obliged to gain the back yard through the kitchen window, by whic he had entered. The handkerchief found in the house. is a large cotton affair, of as many colors as Joseph's coat, and such as might be used by an Italian, or other laborer. If and the face or tne lantern are stained with blood. The physicians In attendance upon Mr.

HOW A PURCHASER AT WEDNES DAY'S SALE MADE 101.29 IN ABOUT ONE DAY BY ITS RE DEMPTION WHAT HE WOULD HAVE MADE HAD HE ACQUIRED TITLE AFTER ONE YEAR. The executors xf the estate of E. W.

Wall were among those who carelessly let their taxes for 1890 an 1891 lapse into the Arrears' Department, amdj the property was sold on Wednesday by Regis trar Hinricha It ia on the east side of Henry street between Love lane and Clark street, and had an assessed valuation of $10,000, with tax arrears, interest, of $661.80. It was purchased by James Bryer for $3,000. The taw allows Mr. Bryer bonus of $100 -lid interest on the whole at the rate of 15 per cent, per annum. PP- ei'ty w'thln one year by paying the ar fx-i 1 1 ui'iiiiri ina mm nv nn in no tr a a i rears or taxes, the bonus and 15 per cent, interest.

On Thursday the agent of the estate visited the office of the Registrar and settled by paying the arrearage, the bonus and $1.29 interest, a total of $763.09, on which transaction Mr. Bryer makes ioi.z lor his short-lived investment. Had this settlement been deferred one day over a year, Mr. Bryer would have become the undisputed owner of prop erty worm at an assessed valuation, at a first cost of only $3,000. This little object lesson in the sale of property in arrears for taxes shows what a profitable field for investment it Is.

BUTT, Supenntenden- Deputy Sheriff Mayer Earned -by a Live Trolley Wire BY RAILROAD EMPLOYEES. THE GANG WHO ARE STRINGING WIRES OVER THE GRAND STREET BRIDGE RESORT TO DESPERATE MEASURES TO ATTAIN THEIR OBJECT THE DEPUTY SHERIFFS RETREAT FROM THE SCENE MORE TROUBLE IS LOOKED FOB, That the employees of the Brooklyn City Railroad Company, who are engaged in the work of stringing trolley wires on the Grand street bridge, which crosses Newtown Creek at Grand street. are prepared to resort to desperate, and even criminal means, to attain that object, waa evidenced this morning by an incident which ocourred at the scene of hostilities.

About fifty employees of the railroad company put in an appearance at the bridge this marning, prepared to eom-p ete the work, which they commenced at midnight yesterday morning, when they hau the fight with the deputy sheriffs and Supervisors, as was told In The Standard Union yesterday. When they got there this morning they found about forty deputy sheriffs from Kings and Queens counties stationed at the bridge to prevent further work on the part of the railroad men. Anticipating that an attempt would be made to stop them, the latter had mafde their preparations accordingly. For the first time the trolley wires on this section of the Grand street car line were charged with electricity. The railroad men had the wires they proposed to string across the bridge on one of the tower trucks, and they connected these wires with the live trolley wires.

This had the result or charging all the wires with electricity. The men erected trolley poles, being watched meanwhile by the force of deputy sheriffs and a large crowd of interested spectators. They worked at this until 11 o'clock, when they were ready to string the wires over the bridge. Both sides got ready for the fray, but the railroad forces had an unpleasant surprise in store forthe 'Officers. Some of the railroad all wearing rubber gloves to protect them from the live 'trolley walked out on the bridge, drawing the wire after them.

This was the work the deputy sheriffs were there -to prevent, and Philip Mayer, of 27 Bartlett etreet, this city, one of SaeTiff Buttling appointees, who assumed the position of leader, stepped out on the structure to where the fore-manof the gang was standing and ordered him to direct that the work of stringing wires be stopped. This the foreman refused to do, saying: You get home out of here. We can get along all right without you." Mayer then- took hold or the foreman, telling hrnr that- he was placed under arrest. As soon as he did so, the man cried out: "Here, boys, roast the Immediately, one of the men carrying the live wire placed a coll of It around Ue neck of Mayer. The unfortunate man cried out in agony as the wire burned into his flesh.

Another coil. placed around his arm, burned his hand and his clothing In a terrible manner. Fearing serious results, the men removed the wire as Mayer fell to the ground. The deputy sheriffs were astounded at the action of the railroad men and determined to give uo the fight. Mayer was removed, and after receiving med ical attendance, was removed to his home.

The railroad men unconcernedly con tinued their work of stringing up the wires. All the Queens County deouty sheriff, and all put a few of the Kings County officers retired, leaving the field In possession of the railroad forces. The latter are still at work this after noon, but more trouble ie looked for. The officials and many of the residents of Newtown are at the scene encouraging them to put up the wires. They are heartily in favor of having the trolley cars eroes the bridge, and should mat ters come to a serious pass would nc doubtedly aid the railroad men.

A TERROR-STRICKEN GIRLS SCREAMS BRING POLICEMAN TO A BIXTH AVENUE RESIDENCE JUST IN TIME TO PREVENT A KILLING-DETAILS OF A DARING CRIME. William H. Dorris, 69 years of age a collector for the Kings County Trust Company, who resides at 507 Sixth avenue, was found lying upon the floor of his bedroom at this morning, with blood streaming from a gash in his forehead, and also from a wound In his left thigh. These are the principal facts connected with one of the most daring attempts at burglary In the police annals of this city. The details will remind Brook'ynites of a similar occurrence of several years ago, which resulted fatally for Lyman Weeks, who was murdered by the robber, Greenwald.

So far, the perpetrator of the latest crime has not been apprehended, but the police are bringing their eVry resource to effec: his capture, and though the clues to bis identity are very slight, they are hopeful of success. While Patrolman Edward A. Ansart of the Uight precinct was standing on the northeast corner of eSixth avenue and Tweltth street, shortly before i 3 3 this morning, he heard the terrified screaming of woman proceeding from a house on the south side of bixth avenue. a few doors' from the corner. He ran diagonally across the street, and saw a young girl attired in her night robe lean ing out of the second-story window of No.

507. and crying: "Police!" When she saw the officer, the girl shout ed frantically "Father has been shot!" Patrolman Ansart ran up on the front stoop, and, finding the door ajar, he pushed it open and darted upstairs, There, all in darkness, save for a glimmer of light proceeding from a bull's-eye lantern lying at one side of. the landing. The face of the lantern was turned toward the open door of the back room. Mr.

Dorris' bedchamber, and by the flickering light of a candle inside the bull's-eye1 the officer discovered Mr. Dorris lying half upon his side on the floor. Ansart went to the street, rapped foor assistance, and then returned- to Mr. Dorris' room. Two other patrolmen promptly responded to the call; and then a telephone call was sent to the Seney Hospital, and Ambulance Surgeon Ppence arrived soon afterward.

He made an examination of Mr. Dorris' injuries, and found that he had received a bullet wpund in the left thigh, just above the knee, and that there was a fracture of the frontal bone of the skull. The surgeon deemed it unadvisable to remove Mr. Dorris, and he was left at his home in charge of a physician. Mr.

Doris account of the affair Is, that shortly before the alarm was gives by Ms daughter he had been awakened by the odor of chloroform. "I am' particularly sensitive to. the odor of chloroform," he said to-day. "owing to the fact that some years ago I found it necessary to have a number of teeth removed and "was subjected to the influence of that drug frequently at that time. Ever since then I jim quick to detect the slightest smell of it." To this fact Mr.

Doris probably owes his wounds, as well as the failure cf his assailant to secure.any booty, for so quickly was he awakened by the odor at the time of the assault upon him that he was not in the least stupefied by it. On opening his eyes he saw man bending over him. The man was pressing a handkerchief upon Mr. Doris' face, and as the latter moved the intruder's hand was pressed heavily down. Mr.

Doris freed his head from the grasp and exclaimed: "What are you doing?" "I'll fix you," was the reoly. and Immediately came the report of a pistol shot, and Mr. Dorris felt a stinging sensation in his thigh. He attempted to rise and grapple with his assailant, when the latter struck him a heavy blow upon the head, presumably with the butt end of the pistol. The blow stunned him Into partial unconsciousness, but hearing hla daughter's cries, he managed to stagger through the connecting doorway Into the front room, his daughter's bed chamber.

His appearance increased her alarm, for she Imagined it to be the burglar. He reassured her, and turned back into his own room, falling from weakness Just as the policemen entered the house. Meanwhile, his assailant had made his escape and though the patrolmen summoned made diligent effort they could find mo traces of him at thab time. A search of the premises disclosed the fact that entrance to the house had been effected by forcing a window of the rear basement, and the jimmy with whi-h the job had been accomplished was picked up in the basement hallway. On the bed in Mr.

Dorris' apartment was found a handkerchief saturated Wth chloroform, and on the stairway leading to the second floor the dark lantern before menttoned The only other occupant of the house was Mr. Dorrjs' daughter. Tillie, who says that she was awakened by a noise in her father's room, but as he was subject to nightmare she thought that might be the cause. Within a few seconds, however, she heard the report of a pistol, and then she sprang to the window and called for help. Mr.

Dorris' sister, who was sent for, and who has taken up her residence in the house pending the result of his injuries, said to a reporter to-day: "If it had not been for the prompt arrival of the policeman, I believe my brother would have been murdered. My niece savs it was hardly a minute from the time the shot was fired before the officer was irt the house. I do not understand why a burglar should attack this house. The man may have thought, because my brother is a collector for the trust company, that he had money in the house, but he was mistaken." The police have ascertained that Mr. Dorris had SB7 and a gold watch under his pillow, but the burglar did not secure -these or any other booty.

The only descri potion, which Mr. Dorris could give of the man was that he was of medium build and wore a light brown overcoat. Immediately after the first alarm, Capt Murphy, of the Eighth precinct, repaired to the scene, and Detectives McCormlck and Dennedy were detailed on the case. The reserve at the staition house were also sent oat to scour the neighborhood. It is stated shortly after the shooting, two men were seen running up Twelfth street, one snort and the other of medium height, and both wearing light overcoats.

They were pursued for several blocks, but made their escape. A man, who gave his name ae John Kerth, 25 years of age, and said that he resided with his brother at 2072 Atlantic avenue, waa found by an officer shortly before 6 o'clock this morning, standing at the corner of Ralph and Fulton avenues. Viien questioned, he could not give any a Last Kighfs Session of the Lamps and Gas Committee. ALDERMAN RIDER MY. "Name the Man," He Demanded of President Noah L.

Alderman Roeder was late, but entered into the proceedings with his usual alertness against anything that Alderman Walkley had to offer, and made up for lost time. There were present representatives of the different electric light companies, and of one that wants to be the State Electric Light and Power Company.

These were artorded opportunities to speak further, if they desired to do so, In resoect to the nroyosals they had sub mitted. Ethan Allen Doty, president of the Edison Electric Illuminating Company, made an extended statement, rehearsing the company's offer, and say ing that there naa been no cuiiusiuu with other companies.

about putting wires under ground; Well. I don't know," replied Mr. Dotv. "That Is something with which I -have nothing to do." Alderman Leich Well, what is the use of the, subway commission any how? Mr. Doty said that he was not present to answer such questions about the Sub way Commission.

In some remarks to the committee, Mr. Peabody, also of the Edison Com pany, expressed a positive conviction that the Board of Aldermen had no nower to grant any new electric light ing franchise with the privilege of stringing wires overhead. Alderman Leich suggested that If It were so, it was not quite fair to com petitors. At this point. Alderman Roeder came in, and upon learning what was going on, at once objected to it.

He said that this was merely an adjourned meeting for an executive session, and he Old not peneve in nstening to any one. AldermH.Tl T-e-if i.w no nhieotlon tn It Alderman WaJklev. the etairman. staid (Stere had been a misunderstanding In regard to the meeting. It had been wrongly advertised.

They did adjourn on Monday evening, as he understood it, to meet in executive session on Friday evening. But they had listened to a few words the Edison Company had to aay, and he tfhought tt fair that the representatives of other companies should be heard if they desired to be. Alderman Roeder still objected, but the majority of the committee were opposed to his view. The Chair said he would like to ask Mr. Peck, of the Citizens' Company, Question' or two.

Alderman Roeder objected, -but the question was asked. "Are the machines in your asked Alderman Walkley of Mr. Peck. "capable of generating electricity for 1,200 candle power on your lines? Mr. Peck Yes.

sir. Alderman Walkley asked Mr. Peck if he thought that if the Citizens' Com pany's lights were now tested they would be up to 1,200 candle power? Mr. Peck said they would! Alderman Roeder had protested against asking the question, and finally insisted that the other companies should be re quired to answer the same questions. Alderman Walkley said there was no objection to that.

Mr. Doty said that in speaking for the Edison he believed his answer would ap ply also to the other companies. As long as the electric current goes through the lamps it would give 1,200 candle power, or 40,000 candle power. If necessary. He did not think there was any difficulty in generating electricity.

The Chair asked Mr. Peck if there was difference of power among dynamos. Mr. Peck replied that there were all sorts of dynamos. Both the chairman and Alderman Leich put further questions without eliciting -replies that seemed clear to them.

Alderman Leich asked, "How comes it that in many places there are only 400 or 500 candle-power" Mr. Peck claimed that the tests made by Prof. Plympton's experts were very inaccurate. Alderman Leich said that Prof. Plymp- ton was.

supposed to have expert knowl edge on that subject. Mr. Peck intimated to the contrary. and that the Subway Commission's knowledge was better displayed in put ting wires underground. On motion of Alderman Roeder the discussion wars ended, to be resumed in executive session.

The committee then asked Mr. Cocheu if he had anything new to offer for the State Electric Light and Power Com pany Mr. Cocheu said that he should not have been present except for the fact that the press had reported conversations between members of the committee, one of whom stated that he would be called upon to make an explanation and fur nish evidence to prove a statement he had made to a "World" reporter. He was present for that purpose. If any gentleman of the committee had been insulted he was there to explain.

The re port in the he said, was entire ly correct. Alderman Roeder I would like you to name some of those gentlemen who have approached you Mr. Cocheu I must decline to answer, as I did to the "World" reporter. I can prove my assertion If I am called upon so to do. I told the reporter that I be lieved this Board of Aldermen was composed of honorable men.

The reporter asked me what I thought were the causes of delay In this Board and about the rumors that were prevailing about them. I believe that every member of the Board knows that these rumors are being circulated. I believe that the Board Is being maligned. I told him that it had treated us fairly, and when he asked what was the cause of delay.
