To Run a Itullroad Through the County Towns. Tbe application of the South Brooklyn Itailroad and Terminal Company to fix the crossings of streets and avenues for the contemplated change of its terminal from Hay Hidgo to Jamaica, in Queens County, was hoard by Supreme Court Judge Harriett to-day. Lawyer Jesse Johnson said the company desired to pass through tho towns of New Utrecht, Flatbush and ITatlands to Smith street, in the village of Jamaica, and hud filed a map of the projected routo.

Tho company would have to cross runny roads, streets and avenues and desired the oourt to fix the manner in which tho streets and avenues should bo crossed. Tbe company was prepared to go below tho grade in some instances whore tho streets and avenues were much used, as in tho caso of the Ocean Boulevard. The application wna opposed by Lawyer James Mr. Church said it was the design of the company to extend its road through a section of the oounty which was about to be taken into the City of Brooklyn, lu suoh cases it was the duty of the Common Council to take charge of the street and avonues and it wns very evident that the present application was an attempt to rush the thing through before tho towns became wards of the city and andor the city'B control. Judge Bnrtlett took the papers.

His Honor intimated that he was very much opposed to crossings at grades.

A II TTHE AVENUE SALVON KEEP-ER SHOOTS HIS WIFE. A Terrible Event This Afternoon In the Nineteenth Ward A Slight Quarrel 1'recetles the Shooting- The Body of the Woman Covered With Blood, Frederick Kroncke, a saloon keeper at VJi'i ythe avenuo, fired a pistol shot at his wife, ilhelinina, shortly before 3 o'clock this afternoon and Inflicted a wound that it is feared will prove fatal. Mrs. Kroncke is at tho Eastern Distrlot Hospital ami her hushaud is in a cell at the i I.i-e avenue station house. 1 hi' bullet entered the woman's head in the region of the ritfht temple.

Mrs. Kroncke was nursing her baby that is 4 months old when Kroncke tired the shot. Officer McKinley, who reached the scene a few minutes alter the shooting, discovered Mrs. Kroncke on the floor with her husband standing over her. He nad a 3S-eatibre ii-volvtr iu his hand.

The weapon wns smoking. 'ue bullet was missing. Kroncke is )oars old ami Mrs. Kroncke is lhe baby was on the floor beside the mother and was covered with blood that had gushed from the wound in the mother's head. lhe kitchen in the apartments over the saloon was the scene of the attempted murder.

Kroncke told the policeman that he did not intend to Kill his wife. He pulled tbe trigger, he Bald, but believed that the weapon was not loaded. Mrs. Kroncke is an attractive woman. Beside the body she had another child, a girl of 4 years.

It is believed in the neighborhood that jealously led to the. shooting. the explanation thus tur given of the shootlue is as follows Mrs. Kroncke until a few minutes before the dreadful occurrence bad helped her husband in tne saloon. She heard her baby cry ami told Kroncke that she was going up stairs to care for it.

He told her to stay down stairs as he wnnted to go out. She refused and weut up stans in a hurry, lie followed her. Annie I iough, a young woman whe was iu the apartmeuts over thoBe occupied by the Kroncke family, heard the couple engigeJ in quarrel and then heard the shot. She gave an alarm and tbe officer, on his arrival, discovered Kroncke, as lescnoed. He took the weapon from him ami hurried him off to the station.

Miss (iough beard Mrs. Kroncke scream and then all was silent, as though she bad lapsed into unconsciousness. -Miss Mary iiruuuer, of Wythe avenue, a neud of Mrs. Kroncke was on the stairs. She also heard the counle quarreling.

She 11 probably throw some light on the case. 1 rdiiericg Kellermau, a guest of the saloon, la also expected to tell what he knows of the oectirrouoe. ttateil a mere quarrel preceded the shooting, but it seems certain that jealousy, is intimated, was at the bottom of the trouble.

The Only Eaception la the Case of City Auditor Weber lAgHinst Whom There Wa no Evidvnce Before the Grand Jury The Basis of the llecUlon There Will be mo Appeal. The long-expected decision of Judge Moore on the question of tbe validity of tbe indictments found by tho December Grand Jury against the officials and contractors whose reputations were smirched by the Columbian scandal was announced by bis Honor from the bench of the Court of Ses sions this morning.

Judge Moore mado known his decision after disposing of the entire business of the court. His Honor's remarks wero short and to the point. "About those Columbian indictments," he said, immediately after sentencing F.rdt-man, the tax certificate forger. The newspaper men and tho lawyers and politicians who were in court at once crowded forward to the bar. "The indictmentt acrainut Weber are dismissed, all of them," said Judge Moore.

There wasn't the slightest ground for them. There was not a particle of evidence before the Grand Jury, not a scintilla to sustain tho indictmeuts. The motion to dismiss them is therefore granted. The motions to dismiss the indictments in all the other oaies ore deuied. That is all I need to say about it this morniug." The news spread in ull directions at onoe and little groups of office holders formed here and thero about the public buildings to discuss it.

The derision was not exactly what they expected. Though it was a foregone conclusion that the indietu.ehts agniu-U i lty Auditor Weber would be dismissed, it was generally believed thnt nearly ail the other indictments would be found to be ll-le'sl. lhe Hrgumeut lu opposition to the motion to dismiss teem was made by As sistant District Attorney John F.Clarke.

THE rilirATlONH OF LAW MAKERS IN SPRltiU OVERCOATS. Duraok Itlntnea the llrewera for the Hard I.uek of Ilia Chattel Mortgage Hill Flatlmah Annexation The Equity Oaa Company's Charter. apreiAi. to th 'nuooK cv Tin its. Albany, April 7.

Tho members of the Legislature who loft their ulsters at home and wore their now Easter clothos when they came to Albany last Monday regretted their nreviousness when they walked up the hill to tho capitol this morning in tho face of the fiercest snowstorm of the season. Assemblyman Cahill shivered in a talkative spring overcoat, and Assemblyman O'Connor turned up the collar o( a new silk -lined light overcoat and muttered something about preferring tho neighborhood of Oroeuland'g icy mountains to tho abominable Albany weather. The weather did not prevent tho mem-bora of tho two branches from buckling down to hard work passing lulls, though most of them were local in their nature and comparatively unimportant. Assistant Corporation Counsel Greenwood was one of the most active men about tho Capitol. Ho has a keen eye open for ilrookiyn legislation, and as a number of city bills havo been recently introduced und are far down on tho calendars of the Hen-ate and Assembly all his keeness will lie necessary lo have them sent to the Governor before adjournment on April 20.

Last night through tho efforts of Mr. Greenwood the Flatbush Annexation bill was passod in tho Assembly, with 100 votes behind it and nono in the nogative. When the bill was read Mr. Aiusworth asked if that was tbo measure amended so as to provide for tbe annexation of Brooklyn to Flat bush. Yes, that's it," replied Tim Sullivan.

That's just what ought to be done with llrooklyn." Mr. Durock's bill to protect poor folks otuinst chattel mortgage sharks was beaten in tho Assembly last night; receiving but votes, or Vi lei-s than was necessary. Mr. O'Connor bad beeu aiding Mr. Durack to secure votes for tho bill, aad wns much enraged when leader Quigley refused to vote either wy.

After, by a parliamentary twist, bo bad had tbe bill put in a position where It can bo called up again, he walked over to Quigley and addresseu him in low tones but energetic language, at the Bame tune sh. iking his fist under tho lender's nose. Itotb men seemed enraged, but there was no physical collision, aud after tho session thoy mot in tho Delavau House and proved to on admiring throng tht their fictions woro but Pickwickian. There was to have been a bearing on the Kaxtnn Anti-Pool Room bill before the As.piuDly Judiciary Committee yesterday afternoon, and Anthony Comstock and other backers of the measure came up weighted with arguments about it. Six members of the met at Bo'elock, nud 'five minutes later Mr.

Martin, of New York, moved that an adjournment be taken for a week. This was carried and the six separated. A few moments later Chairman Cooueyjof the committee arrived and calmly suggested that they might have a meeting at the usml time. He was much surprised when he learned that a meetiug had already been held without result. The pool room men aie therefore ahead in the first skirmish over the bill.

The war between them ami tne race track owners will bo hot. It will, too, be interesting for all the members of the lower branch of the Legislature. Mr. Durack says his Chattel Mortgase bill was defeated through the efforts ot the brewers of tho big cities of the State. The brewers have ironolad chattel mortgages upon many saloons, especially those of the smaller kind, and if the bill becomes a law thair grip would be materially relaxed.

Mr. tSouthworth, of New York, still has the favorable report of the Geueral Laws Committee on the Equity Gas Company's bill in bis pocket. Chairman uueuther of the oommiltee has recovered from his illness and Is again in his place, but bo says he has not yet been consulted about the report. Courtesy demands that his wishes be considered, and if Mr. Southwortb presents tho report without his consent snincient members might be shared by the Chairman to send thof5ieasure baok.

Tho friends of tho bill say they have votes plodged for it, and that it will surely pass the Assembly. It is probable now that the bill will go through the play of beiug again considered by the committee and that it will come i eforo the Assembly in regular form next Week. The Assembly has passed Mr. McOowan's bid to legalise and confirm the official acts of Allred S. Pomes.

Senator Met arty bill authorizing the sale of Union Cemetery, in the Twenty-eighth Ward, Senator bill providiug for the appointment of a coal inspector in Hrooklvn, and Mr. O'Connor's bill allowing the city to purchase water front property at the foot of Hridge street. In tne Henate Aspinall's bill to permit the Medioal Socioty of Kings County to acquire property worth $100,000 and charge 10 a year dues was passed. The Cities Committee of the Senate has favorably reported Aspinall's bill exempting Greene avenue, from Franklin to broad-way, from railroad uses, and allowing the Memorial Hospital a year from the exoise moneys. Assemblyman Cahill's bill, classifying certain Fire Department employes and Kelly'a Twelfth Ward and Higoland Parks Appropriation bill have passed the Senate and now go to the Governor.

Senator McCarren has introduced a bill constituting a commission, including the Commissioner of City Works, the Chief Engineer and the Supervisor of Newtown to devise a plan and apportion the cost of building a sewer to run from the city into Queens Couuty. He has also introduced au act providing for the condemnation of the Jamaica and Brooklyn turnpike in oase it cannot under other conditions be purchased. Senator MoCarty has introduced a bill authorizing the issue of bonds to the amount of (100,000 to complete the Soldiers' Monument. He has also presented an amended bill constituting a commission to take oharse of New Utrecht and author izing tbe issuing of bonds to the amount of two, 000. G.

MOTHER AM) SON TAKEN OUT OF THEIR It ES ATE EL AT.

Justice Connelly llolita Court on the Curb and Commits Them to Have Their Sanity Inquired Into Theories as to the Cause of a Wrecked Lite. Hoal Estate Agent William II. Friday has got rid of Mrs. Sarah M. Quibell and her son, Joseph Quibell, who took possession of tho flat ot 'SM Iteid avouue without asking his permission.

Thoy wero taken out of the house to-day by Court Officers Tracy and MuElroy, on warrants issued by Justice Connelly at Friday's instance, i'ri-dny lodged against tlifiin a technical charge of vagrancy with the understanding that thoy would bo formally remanded to their sanity inquired into. Tho programme was oarriod out aud both are now in Raymond Street Jail, where they will be examined by the county physicians. Some little troutde was experienced in takiug tho two into custody. Charles McLean, a lending member of the Kings County Wheelmen, of whioh Quibell was one of the shining lights up to six months ago, provided a coach. Traoy decoyed Mrs.

tjuihell to the head of the lirst night ot stairs, where she tooK her stand Mid refused to budge. Then the big officer picked her up in his arms and oarriod her bodily to the covh in waiting She screamed lustily, kicked and squirmed and protosted that she hadn't done anything wrong. Interpreter lossiug looked aftor her while the search for the sou was resumed. He W4s found lying on a cot in a dark room The tint was absolutely destituto of furniture. Quibell was stretched out in a comatose condition.

A dirty quilt covered his emaciated frame. He wore fancy striped shirt, doeskin trousers, shoes and stockings. All attempts to rouse him proving fntile, he was wrapped up the quilt and carried out. They were driven from there to the Gates avouue police court, a few blocks distant. The oircumstances were explaiuedto JuBtice Connelly, who put on his hat and coat and arraigned them while they still remained in the coach.

Then the journey to tho jail was begun. The mysterious visit of the unfortunate mother and son to I'utohogue has already beeu told in the Times. There is little doubt in the minds of those familiar with tho oase that Mrs. Quibell is mentally weak, and that the son is beyond help or hope. S.

G. Quibell, her other son, who lives at 472 Madison street, took an active part in today's Droceodings. He wouldn't go to tbe tl at, because, he said, he was afraid his brother would hurt him. This story seemed inconsistent, in view of the sick man's depleted trim, though most of the tenants in other houses in which the strange couple have lived agreed that ho haB an inexplicable habit of going on the rampage and exhibiting phenomenal strength, after lying for weeks unconscious aud without nounstimeut. His mother has had a black eye now and then that lent much strength to the statement.

When the officers found him to-day au empty bowl was tightly clutched in his long and clammy lingers. On a stool by the cot was a modest allowance of gruel that had evidently not been touohed. A rudoly Bcrawled note asking for a remittance of a week was picked up in the kitchen. This is supposed to hove beon intended for Conron Quibell, chemists, at 18 Piatt street. New York, from which firm Quibell is credited with a weekly income of $50.

The cause of Quibell'B peculiar ailment is still undetermined. Continual worriment. a naturally sensitive disposition and his mother's eccentricities have bean variously suggested. There are whisperings of an origin of a revolting oharaoter, in substantiation of which a number of reoent incidents have been quoted. The precise nature of these stories can only be guessed at The Kings County Wheelmen met last night and took the matter under advisement and appointed a committee to look after Quibell's interests.
