Ward signed a oontraet with President CL H. Byrne as announced exclusively in Tax Citzxn. His interview with Messi. Byrne and Abell was one of utmost importance to the gentleman interested particularly, and the baaeball patrons of Brooklyn generally.

Brooklyns greatest need in the sphere of beseball, ever since the local olab was started in 1888, haa been a good manager. No one will deny that the need hat been bountifully supplied. In Ward the dab has secured what can, without the slightest exaggeration, be termed the most far-seeing and considerate director of baseball men in ths country. If recommendation were needed, his record with tbe famous Wonders of last year would bs all sufficient Coming here practically as a stranger last spnug, he aroused a local ad miration by bit methods and oonseauent success, that will make him doubly viluabis to ths new club. iVard was interviewed by a Citizen reporter last night He said: "I signed wiffi ths Brooklyn Clno for considerably lees money than I coul i havs obtained elsewhere 1 did this because 1 like Brooklyn aud its people and want to play there.

Byrne Doyle and Abell, Pled from the Hub to New firnn wick, aud 'i'tien ame -filore, Whore He Wae Arreated on a Charge ol Hnvlng Received Stolen SBoode Denis J. Mountain, formerly of Boston, is lying in the Buymond Streot Jail, awaiting ft requisition from the Governor of Massachusetts for his surrendor to the Bay State authorities on the charge of receiving stolen goods.

This bald statement covers a most re-markable story of wrong-doing, and the Kemeaij of retribution which haa followed the doer. Mountain wai arrested on Wednesday last, by Detective Con Mahoney, on information received by the latter from theBoiton police antnorities and ths officials of ths Old Colony line. Two years and a half ago Mountain was inspector of police of Boston, receiving a good salary and generally reapeoted. tie wae known as one of tbe best dresied of the 'Hub" policemen, was high in authority and next to the chief of police of that oity. The story in bribf of his downfall is as follower For some time prior to Ootober, 18S8, tbe Old Colony line managers had saspeoted that some of their tickets were not proparly punched when used by passengers, and were being used again after being cold at out rales, bin ally it was found that a "scalper, one Ed Nobles.

Was selling the unpanuhed tickets, and that he obtained them from Thomas OBrien, one of the trusted employees of the company, wnose duty it was to take charge of All ued tickets, and see that they were thoroughly destroyed by being wetted and reduced to pulp In a mill constructed for that purpose. It was not known then and oaa only be conjectured now how many unpunched tickets OBrien sold, not only to Nobles but to othora. One of tuft "others was altered to be Mountain, who was arrested on the ohargs of receiving stolen goods, a was Nobles. OBrien turned States evidence and NobJqs was finally sentenoed to an imprisonment for two years, OBrien being still retained in the service of the oompany, as it was believed he had been induced to do wrong by others. Mountain after his arrest on Oct.

12,1086, was taken on the succeeding morning before Judge Forsyth, of the Boston Municipal Court, and held in $1,000 bail, tne oaie being adjourned for heariug for oue week. On Oot. 19 Moun tain skipped his bail and wont to tit. Stephen, New Bruuswick. leaving his bondsmen to settle with the authorities.

short time after this he sent to Boston tor his four little girls, he being a widower, and for one year and a half he remained with his family in St Stephens, not being able to obtain any work which he could do, and toward the spring of 189J, living solely on hah and potatoes, after having lost tne little revenue of $28 per month which he had received from a little borne he had owued in Boston. A mortgage for $700 was foreclosed by the bank that held it, and all sources of riooome were swept away. Then Mountain determined to return to the States. By much contriving and pinching he managed to send his four mile girls baok to Boston, in care of their mother's people, and he came to this citvand soughs shelter with a relative who resides on iifth avenue, near Sixteenth street. rihere ha remained from May last year until the day bofoi yesterday, when he was arrested.

He was unused to the ways of this city or the metropolis, was afraid to apply for emoloyment in any publio place or from any of the Boston people he knew, and tha oonsequeuoa was, hiding himself as much as possible, he only did throe weekB work at house painting doring the whole time he resided in this city. From a hale and hearty man he has changed to an aged and sickly invalid, and when seen in the Jail this morning by a Citizen reporter he ooked as if be had not long to live. It was while in search of work tbAt Mountain was seen and recognized by an ex-policemen from the Bub, who is now a detective in a large dry goods store Mountain declared that he was willing and impatient to go to Boston and meet his punishment, if any should be meted out to him. lie sAid he was not guilty of the charge preferred against him, and that kind of iusanity possessed him when ne fled from proseon tion. He admitted receiving aix or seven tickets from O'Brien ai gifts, and declared he bad never realized 1 oent from them, os ha bad given them to friends.

He aid in conclusion: "I want to get baok to Boston as soon as possible, and hereafter no one can drive me away wBhaoiub."
