Tto Prospocfs of a Favorable Decision Are Bright. I Th Great Arnusement-tjovlng Public 1 Emphatically Says, Save tho Polo Grounds. The Evsimto Wobld Polo Ground Petition Is jf growing formidable. To tho 10,000 petitions acknowledged by Alderman Dlvver thousands of others will he added to-morrow. The basebal) pnblio is speaking with enthu- liasm and emphasis through The Evening World blanks.

Every mail in crowded with tho signed petitions, Hundreds of enthusiasts ft have not only signed the blanks themselves, but havo zealously circulated thom among their friends, and many lists, containing several hundred names apiece, are now coming in. Tho Ute mails to-day will doubtless bring many reinforcements to this enormous array of petitions. Tho Board of Aldermen to-morrow will havo Juo doubt left in their mind as to tho sentiment Of the public in favor of retaining the Polo Grounds for this year, and, true tn the wishes I of their constituents as tluiH expressed, they pjay be expected to take favorable action. Indeed, in tho divisions of tho property-Owners, and in view of the fact that tho grading Of One Hundrod and EloTcnth stroet was to be a Useless work before the laying of tho sewor tan application for which will notbomado until Oct. 1), there seems to bo no good grounds for action advorse to the Polo Ground.

The offer of the Metropolitan Exhibition Company to give $10,000 in cash to tho metropolitan charities, in consideration of favorablo fiction, removes the only objection that remains. This sum is certainly a liberal tental for tho (puiaU portion of public property included in tho if olo Grounds. But, though tbo prospects are bright, let baso-rosil lovers relax no etlort in circulating Tue Would Petition, it will prove to bo in the mainstay of baseball in this town.

Tho Spook Lights a Flre-and Bids ITIm Depart. rsncni. to tbc xvcHina wontn.l SnnuB Oak. N. Y.

April 1. The "Leather Man has a ghost. Not an ordinary transparent ethereal substance, but apparently a substantial matter, which in capable of lighting fires, blowing out torches and indulging in melodramatic gestures. Jule Bourgeay, better known as The Leather Man," has for tho past twenty.five years occupied a small cave in the Sawmill Woods near Shrub Oak. On account of a romantlo attachment formed in his youth, whioh resulted disastrously, he became a wanderer through New England, doing odd jobs hero and there and holding no superfluous conversation with any ono.

His dross consisted of old pieces of leather sewed together, with boot tops for leggins, which gained for him the sottbriquci by which ho was so widely known. It was customary for parties to pay visits to his lie was regarded as the curiosity in that nart of the couulry. About week Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mil-lor went to visit the cm 0 and found tho old man lying dead on a couch of leaves.

He was roported to have secreted considerable monoy, and had on several occasions been nltnost on tho of tolling where it was hid, but ovontually diod without disclosing its location. After his burial, which took place last Monday ip tho Sparta Oemotery. bis cavo was lausneked by curious people, all bont on discovering tho treasure, but all wcro disappointed. 'Last nieht after Former Clematis Sorrel hid completed his day's work ho bade his wife aud daughter adiou, and with lighted torch in his bnnd started for tho llig Sawmill Woods 111 quet of tho lato Leather Man's treasures. Soun after midnight the farmer returned to bis family in a great stato of agitation, the pcrspirution rolling from his white face, mid shaking with tenor.

Ilis tain wis ktartling one. and caused his listenors' hair to bristle in Hympatby with his own. After vainly seeking for tho covered money box, he started to leave tho oave in despair. Ho had taken but a few steps when chill blast of air extinguished his torch. Tho cold ohills began to creep dawn his spine.

He felt in his pockets, holding his breath meanwhile, but to hU horror no matches could bo found. After minutes of hesitation, whioh seemed to him to bo liouis, ho started to grope his way out in the darkness. Suddenly blight light flashed. When ho became accustomed to the sudden change ho saw the figure of the Leather Man standing besido a newly-kindled fire, holding an ignited torch. 'J ho farmer was rooted to the spot.

While he guzed with protruding eyes the leather man raised one hand and with a dramatio geituro pointed to the cave opening, mulely signifying to Mr. Sorrel to depart. The latter needed no second bidding. As fast as his trembling limbs would permit, he reached the entrance and was soon speeding homeward, with all possible rapidity, a distance of three miles. Mr.

Sorrel is not a drinking man. Hard cider is the oxtont of his imbibing. To-day he is looked upon with envy and admiration by his fellow-villagers, to whom he has related his story. Is it a ghost, or has the Leather Man a double? AN' AriUL FOOL STOUM. The Hnoiv Yesterday Wnn Surprise to the Weather Ilurraii.

A white fog hovered in the streets and hung over tho bav and tho two mors all this forenoon. It was not dense enough, however, to delay tho forry-boats, and none of the rapid transit Elevated trains were more than fifteen minutes late. The snowstorm of yesterday was an April fool joke tn the Weather Bureau itself. It raced i.etoss the continent from Dakota to New York about twenty-four hours, breaking tho record storm sprinting. The weather signs point to warmer and clearer weather.

There are no high winds anynhere, twenty miles an hour being the maximum velocity near New York. BARNUM'S ARABS IN A HUPP. They Think They Have a Grievance and Are tiolng Back Home.

XU prooeedlngi undsr this motion (5.e. 201, Chap. 070, Latti H1B81, aud CKap. 40, LavlqJ 1B84), vhen commitment shall have ha made, ahall be subject to reriew by any court of record, npon certiorari on the facta and the law, and In saoh a proceeding: the commitment order or judgment may be affirmed or reversed or modified in each manner and to such eitant as may aeem belt, or a rehearing of tha charge ordered. The above is tbo original draft of Tnr.

Evenino Wobiji Children's Bill. It has been amended by tho Assembly, so that all action under it must bo taken within thirty days. This amendment renders the bill an extremely modorato one, and in view of it, tho bitter bureaucratic opposition seems doubly unreasonable and unjust. As a conclusive and overwhelming answer to the flimsy arguments brought against the bill, Tue Evenino Woran herewith repub. lishes its authorized interview with Judgo Barrett, whose long experience on tho bench, and whose world-wido reputation as ou upright Judge and justice-lover glvo his opinion in such a matter exceptional weight and importance.

THE JUDGE BARRETT INTERVIEW. 'I have always thought that these commitments of children should be subject to revision. I have re. pentcdly, and with as much force as I could command, expressed my opinions on the subject, and a yoar ngo I gave a very extended opinion on the matter." The eminont ever in earnest, was very much in earnest as he said this, and his manner grew impressivo as he continued IT IS A GREAT INJUSTICE. A very great Injustice is being done by not giving the Supreme Court opportunity to review nnd pass upon these cases.

Tho Supremo Court would do substantial Justice." contiuned Judge Barrett. Thcro are sometimes very grave roasons why a child should bo re. leased. It may have been committod because of the poverty of Its parents and their inability to provide for it, and they may huvo becomo better circumstanced it may have been committed under misapprehension and the truth revealed later on It may huvo been committed on perjured testimony and be entltlod to relonse. But tho law as It now stands sets up an insurmountable bar.

It says the commitment Is Irrevocable. "IT IS ALMOST AN INFAMOUS LAW said tho Judgo. Mr. Elbndge T. Gerry, of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelly to Children," suggested the roporter, has said that if the law is amended aB Trie Evenino World desires, his Society will be compelled to abandon all snch cases because it cannot af.

ford to litigate them." AN ANSWER TO MR. OERRT. Judge Barrett's eyes flashed and his firm mouth closed tighter for an Instant. Then ho replied with energetic emphasis IT WOULD BE BETTEK, FAB BETTER, THAT THE SOCIETY BE WIPED OUT OP EXISTENCE THAN THAT THIS POWER FOR EVIL BE RETAINED BY IT FOR A SINGLE DAY!" A QUESTION Or JUSTICE. Sir.

Gerry and hit Society have done a world of good In a wide field. Tho motives actuating them are of the IT WOULD BE BETTER THAT THE SOCIETY'S POWERS BE TAKEN AWAY FROM IT THAN THAT IT BE PERMITTED TO TIGHTEN ITS GRASP ON A SINGLE CHILD. Tho Society Is not sntlsfled with tho power it hus. It risks for more. It would bo un autocrat.

But thcro should bo stop made, The Society should not be absolute A police magistrate should not be absolute. HE WOULD OO FUninEB TniN THE AMENDMENT. ''There should be a balance of power between tho parents nnd tho Society, and above eithor," continued Judge Dar. rett. "The Amendment proposed by The Evening World1 Is a good one, so far as It goes.

I SHOULD GO FUR. THER. There should be a power vested In tho Supremo Court to send proceedings back to the magistrate or to review them and act upon the review. And tho Court should be empowered to decide the case, not upon the review alone, but upon any new fact and changed olreumstaneM and conditions aa well. And the 'Court should be em- powered to recommit or discharge or mako other disposition of children In such cases.

WHEN MR. GERRY SAYS HIS SOCIETY MUST ABANDON SUCH CASES HE TALKS NONSENSE-MERE NONSENSE. I AM HEARTILY IN FAVOR OK ANY CHANGE IN THE LAW WHICH WILL WORK A RE-MOVAL OF THIS AUTOCRATIC POWER FROM IRRESPONSIBLE HANDS AND PLACE IT IN A RE. SPONSIBLE TRIBUNAL," concludod tho eminont jurist. KRULISCH ON TRIAL Arraigned To-Day for the Murder of Drug Olerk WeohBung.

Judgo Gildersleevo and jnry are trying a mero I oy for his life. William Krulischwas arraigned to.dayin Furt II. of tho Court of Goneral Sessions for trial on a charge of murder in tbo first do-gree. Krulisch is but seventeen years old, and is small for his age. He is a bright, intolll-gent.

faced boy, with chestnut hair and deep-sot blue eyes. Ho was brought down from the Tombs in tho black Marin with several other priBOUors, and when his case wan called ho walked down tho aislo from tho prisoners' pen toa seat just in front of tho rail, with tho spring of youth, a sniilo of self.conKciousneKs on his faco while a court-room full of spectators craned their necks and stared at tho alleged boy murderer." Ambrose H. Turdy, counsel for the lad, graspod his hand aud young Krulisch smiled and greeted him quietly. Krulisch was dressed in a suit of mixed goods, and was bright and neat in appearance. Ho iR charged with a most brutal murdor, and if ho is guilty his depravity and inborn wickedness is to bo compared only to tlint of Josse Pomeroy, the Massachusetts bov-mur-derer.

An investigation into the case of John Mc-Cluskey, who died In a cell In tho Charles stieet polico station yesterday morning, shows a lamentable amount of ieuorance on tho part of an ambulance surgeon and apparent neglect and much 1 1 cat men on tho part of tho police. McCluskeywaa a servant in tho employ of Mrs.

E. M. Dayton, at 271 West Elevontb street. On Saturday evening, while Intoxicated, he fell clown a flight of stairs leading to the cellar. IIo became unconscious, aud an ambulance from Ht.

Vincent's Hospital was called. Dr. Hanboldt was in charge. Ho examined the man, said ho was druuk aud refused to take him to the hospital because they did not receive alcoholic caaei. When an Evenino World reporter called at the hospital this mornliiK.

Dr. Hanboldt tried to excuse himtelf by sayniK that he didn't know that the hospital rcccned alcoholic cases. "Yes, hov a new man and didn't know," put in nonso Hurgeon Mitchell, apologetically. Mrs. Dayton was indignant at both tho ambulance surceon and tho public.

One of her servant girls said that tho policemen were very mush with McClusker. When they got him out on tho sidewalk each took an arm am half carried and half dragged tho man to the station-honae. Ho was put In a cell, aud it was not until the man was dying tha any carclwas alien to him A "hurry" call was sent to the hospital and Dr. Iteekman responded. The man died bofoie he cot there.

Dr. Hanboldt says that ho applied all the test to find out whether tho man's skull was Iructurcd or not. IIo concluded that it was not. and now says that there aro more bruises on the man than when he left him to the caioof the police. Deputy Coroner Weston viewed the body at tho Morgue yesterday, aud from his examination concluded that the man died of fracture.

He will perform an autopsy this afternoon. Trip of a New Clant I.ocomnllte. A peculiarly constructed locomotive left Jersey City on a trial trip on the Erie Hnad at o'clock this morning.

Theory That Ills Crime Was Carefully Planned Hoforehund. ltoubcn Baiums, the murderer of bis brothor Tobias Hnmms, is still at largo, hut the dctoeiives believo that they will bag their man beforo nightfall.

The body of tho victim lay on the top floor of tbo Chelsea Flats, 128 West Twenty-seventh street, this morning. Scores of the murdered HEUnEM RAMMH, TIIE MUnDEBXB. man's friends called and each one lifted tho Bheet to take a look at tho dead man's features. 'lho doad man's faco was much drawn, and was clotted with his life blood. An ugly cut in tho forehead and another in the chin gavo tho face a ghastly appearance Thero was an ugly bole in the middle of the man's (best nnd another in the left breast, immodiately over the heart.

Moth wounds wero at least an inch long and very deep. Tho fratricide had inflicted another murderous wound in the dead man's back. It was much turgor than tho othors. The wife of the dead man sat in an adjoining room in a weakened condition. The rooms were crowded with neighbors, but nobody would admit that they knew the murderer.

Indeed it lookbd as it there was a plan to shield him. Tobias Famnis, the murdered man, was a waiter in tbo railroad restaurant in the Orand Central Depot, and lived with bU wife and his father-in-law, Horatio Ktubbs, in tho rear flat on the top floor of tho building. His brothor Iteubeu worked in Earle's Ilotol until early iu the Winter, when he waa discharged. Tobias invited lleuben to live with the family until he could secure another situation, and gave him the front hall bedroom. As time went by Iteubeu became shiftless aud made no effort to secure work, and the brothers quarrelled frequently.
