His Honor says "Although there are some suspicious elnmmr stances revealed by the evidence in this case, 1 am unable to reach the conclusion that there Is a preponderance of proof of that actual fraud wblch Is oece-sary in order that the transfer in qnestlol was sold. The price paid bira (Wolf) his partner Is not so obviously inadequate as to require ths Inference of fraud.

A Safft-broaltlnff Job lht Dl1 Not Come Off-One or the Thieves Found While Walling fur a Tardy Companion. Scrgt. Maude, who was recently promoted and transferred from tho Second to the Fourth Prudnct, wat walking along Graham street, near PcKnlb avenue, at an early hour this morning when his attention was attracted by a noise In the yard atinchid to John Kelly's liqiior daloon, which is on the corner of the street opposite the clultriHims of the Hrnoklyn Athletic AHuoeiation, The 8eri(fant climijed tip on the fence and saw man Htundlng in the yard. "Wbat are you doing there?" asked the 8er-ceaut. I've Just closed up, SeFKeant," said the fellow calmly.

"I'm the new bartender here ana a tint lociklnuHruuitd to that everything right before going home. Maude was sat If fled and climbed down the fence again. As he was rerunning his patrol he beiird more noise in the yard, and reasotilnir that somelhlng was wrong climbed up again just in time to see the cim1 stranger sltedttddllng over the funco at the other xiae or too yard, rne Hcrgeant shouted to the fellow to slop, a-wirnig him that he would shoot if he proceeded, but the stranger paid nO attention to this threat and kept on his way. Sergt. Maude was not very well acquainted with ihe topography of the neighborhood, and as the stranger evidently seemed to kiiow periccuv wen wnerv ne was ana where ue wanted to no.

be had the noliceman at a decided -timid vantage. Muude lent up the chase uu-dauuted by his lack of knowledge, but the 4iur-miml, who was now supposed to be a bunrlar, soon gave the Sergeant the slip. Maude secured the assistance of Officers Martin and Rooney then, and tor two hours scoured the back yards and street in the vicinity, but without any success. The thief had made his escape very effectually. Three hours afterward a stranger was arrested on suspicion of being the burglar, but he proved mat ne was respeciaoie ana ruruisueu sucu a period allot mat ne was not neia.

litvestltration at Kelly's liouor saloon showed that burglars bad really meditated a descent on the nlace. but the robbery was ninned in the bud by Maude's discovery. The rear door bad beeu opened and in the yanl just in front of it were iouuu perilous oi a uurgiars mi. inese inciuaea jr i even til mu i-fiicsi jiiiiiuj ui iaiS)3 uim smnll Jimmy, steel wedges suoh as are used by thieves to tear opeu sale doors several lock picks of Ingenious contrivance and a brace. The kit was incomplete, as some of the pieces of the jimmy were missing.

This fact leads to the belief on the ptirt of the police that two or mora men were in iriejuo dui utai ine oiners wno nan me remainder of the burslurs' tools did not appear in time. Kelly has a large safe in fhe storo and the thieves doubtless believed that he had considerable money in it as his receipts are usually lame wnen anything unustiHl is going on at the Athletic Grouutls. There was tobogganing last night and there was a large crowd in the place. The conjecture that there was considerable money In the safe was therefore correct. MURDER AT BRE81AU.

SEIZED BY THE SHERIFF. A LAWYER'S aVDGMKNT AGAINST PELLET RE A Vt BRUCE Jt CO. The Property of the Firm Attached by Deputy Sheriff Bartow In the Grand Street Museum Last Evening Court Proceedings at Railroad Speed Mr. George H. Bruco, a lawyer who used to be counsel for John B.

Pellet re au, Robert Bruce and Charles H. Pelletreau. comprising the firm of Pelie- treau, Bruce the proprietors of the Grand Street Museum, entered tbe Sheriff office last evening and (lied a judgment against the property of tbe above company for 1424.80 for legal services. The execution whs singularly enough Isvued by Judge David Mcffdam, of the City Court ol New York, and the circumstances surrounding the case seem to indicate that Messrs. PelL'treau are the victims of adroit legal manoeuvring at tbe nanus oi tneir former attorney, wno, ny ine way, is the brother of Mr.

Robert Bruce, of the Grand Street Museum. The papers were intrusted to Deputy Slierifl Charles H. Bartow, aud that official last night visited the museum and seised the scenery and other personal belongings of tbe Arm. The Messr. Pelletreau were astounded by the visit of the Deputy Sheriff, as tbey supposed that ihe suit for tbe above amount had been discontinued.

They expressed themselves lu very indignant terms regarding the legal course taken by Counselor Bruce. According to their statement their former legal adviser assigned his claim against tbe firm to a lawyer namea Laou, wno commenced suit, in this case all three narlners were served with tho ususl summons aud complaint. Lawyer Ladd subsequently withdrew this suit and the Messrs. Pelletreau supposed that ended tbe matter tn the cousis. Lawyer cruce, however, again commenced Droceedlngs lu ths Cltv Court of New York before Judge McAdam, where a judgment can be obtained within six days, as is the case iu Civil Justices' courts in Brooklyn.

In this second suit tbe Pelletreaus say thai- that the summons aud comolaint wercoulr served on Mr. Bruce and that they bad no Idea that the matter was about to be rushed through at railroad speed. It was only on the 25th of January last, according to the soMemeni oi ine reiieireaiu, uint me sun brought by Lawyer Ladd was discontinued. Deputy Sheriff Bartow will visit tbe museum this aiisrnoou. wnen a seiuemeni may oe eaeciea.

The first break In the ranks of the striking laborers along the water front occurred this morning.

Twcuty storemen who Joined tbe forces of the strikers when tho word was given a week sgo last Monday from Bartlett's, Baltic and Union Stores, foot of Harrison street, put In an appearance at these stores this morning and asked to be given their old places ftKntn, as they were tired of idleness. Huperi men (lent Kelly told tliom be could only take nine oi them back, but would take the rest as soon as there was any work for them to do. There was a little more stir visible along xhore thin morning, but there was no more work done. The striken could he seen In groups along Fur-man and Columbia streets and on the docks stilt looking confident and an firm as ever in their res-olutiotiri to remuln out to the end. It was given out this morning among the striking Government anslfltanl weighers that a communication hud been received by Chief Weigher O'Brien authorizing him to grant the increased rate of wages asked for by the men 40 cents in hour but whether tbey would return to work or not waa a different thing.

At a meeting held at the corner of Court and Jora lemon streets yesterday afternoon a resolution was passed unanimously to the effect that tbey would not return to work whether their demands were granted or not until the 'longshoremen's iron hies were settled. Mr. O'Brien said this morning that if they adhered to this the Government could easily II ud men to replace them, but whether the Administration would antagonize the working classes or not vvus a question he was tint prepared to answer. The stluatlon in tho Krle Baffin is not changed. The Hamburg steamship Austialla, which should have sailed on Saturday last, is being loaded by forty-three non-union men, and expects to get away on 8nturdnv next.

There are ten men al6o engaged doing the work of the Uovernment weigher Helpers on this dock whose remuneration Is guaranteed by the steamship company. Altogether In the basin, from Hamilton Kerry to Red Hodk Point, ttwre are only art men working, where there should be over 1.000. At the Excelsior Store1 the steamers Prince Ueorge, Flower Gate and Primate are being loaded with grain by about forty seaba. They are allien days behind their usual lime. The Kteamer Hal is bury Is being loaded at the Central Stores.

Awav back In the nulmv davs of the Republi can party Mr. George A. HiggliiB, who keeps a saloon at Hamilton Ferry, built a shed in the rear of his establishment and granted to the United States weighers the privilege of storing their tools there. When the strike occurred the tools were in this shed and no attempt was made to get them out until Mondav last, when two Italians and a weigher jumped over the back fence and tried to remove them. Higgius saw them and soon made short work of them.

The next day two more appeared with the foreman of the weighers and two customs officers and Mr. Hlgglns disposed of them In the same way. Finally Chier weigner unnen cauea on Mr. Hleelns and said he wauted them, and waa at once told he could take them all away, but not to send any scab or Italians to do It. Mr.

rien yesterday morning with two of his weighers removed their tools by their new hands. At Robinson's Stores the steamer Thornhlll arrived this morning with a load of jute, but no one could found to unload her. A Calcutta four-master lies alongside, where it has been for the past ten days wailing for a load. The Panama's crew st this pier unloaded 1,000 bales of jute in ten days, and she was sent to Pier 44, In New York. The Casiux, which is ten days behind, will probably leave to-day.

a peculiar accident happened on board her last night. A reman namea uari nucnerioia was wanuer-ing around the engine room in his bare feet, when he accidentally put his right foot in a bucket of scaldlnc water. In his efforts to remove this member trot stuck fast and waa so Dai it Ail that he fainted awiw. Several of the crew managed to get it out, when it appeared as If was boiiea.

JOSEPH LOVES THE TREES, BUT 11 THINKS MR, SOMERS HAS NO NATURAL ABILITY.

An Interesting Card from Joseph Forsyth Johnson Nome Folks Don't Know Sticks from Trees The Concourse Mr, Johnson has Evidently Soured on Mr. Soiners. Joseph Forsyth Johnson, who was yester- terday dismissed from further service in the Park Department, was at the City Hall to-day aud made the following statement Having tbe honor to be emnloved bv the oub- licof Hrooklvn. I did rav duty In eXDofing the wane or ineir lands and monev at coney l-isnd. as promed on January 24.

and with aDnearai'ce of sueee-s. I was engaged to advle for these. Coney Island lands as well as the Brooklyn park; therefore, 1 have opposed the wa-te and ottered sketches aud explanations at my own cot for inspection, to Nhow how a park might be made at Conev Island, and tit fnllr of the til in nfTt'i-pd on January M. Nevertheless, I am removed for opposing this plan and the Concourse Committee is dlechareed. The tfmc-wastlng, wheedling success remains.

The 160.0(10 for the improvement of the Coney Island Concourse remains at present lu the hand of the Executive Committee, the result of which Is that Mr. Somen mobauds ihe com mittee to hlmtelr. Therefore i venture to state that the danger of bis plan is not Fassed bv the results ot yesterday's meet-ng. The acquaintances of Mr. 8omera know that whatever abilities he may possess belong to amechnnclcal damnification be pOMeses neither experience nor taste for natural subjects; there fore, nowever anxious ue may ne lu serve ine public he cannot do It in any natural I repayment of Parks.

My last engagement was by contract to advise tor Coney Island and the Brooklyn parks with the asitance of a draughtsman which I never got for a period or fix months certain, with an almost certain nnwvect of continuation. I replied that I only wished to show what I could do and stand or fall by the results. Monev is not wanted In tha narks so much as knowledge to know what to do and what not to do. Money can be saved from the last to do the first, from tbe ordinary pay roll, but although the park contains much watte lauds and general neglect, no idea or MiggvMiouiCare establiiied for developing these maguiticeut lands. The ponds are kepi oeu, but the life of the park ia like a ship at sea without a helm.

I here assert would on no ao ount ever think of taking a single tree down in the park, and mors would not allow any nail or stick to kill them. But some persons in authority cannot tell sticks from trees, therefore trees most be destroyed for want of natural pro- tcdton. Post Office Ka mlngs for Jannary.
