THE WORLD: WEDNESDAY KVEMWG. MAY 3U, 1WJ4. BROOKLYN NEWS. IFTEB CITY OFFICIALS. n- Law and Order League Mombers Before the Grand Jury.

Presentment, nt Least, Expected by Brooklyn Reformers. It was rumored this morning that the Law and Order League of Brooklyn would attempt to get the Grand Jury to take some action against certain city officials for their aliened neglect In enforcing the Excise law. The rumor undoubtedly arose from the fact that several members of the League went before the Grand Jury yesterday and swore to certain alleged violations of the law. It was said this morning that among the witnesses examined were Freeborn Qarretson Smith, Rev. I.

K. Funk and several amateur detectives. Some of these witnesses told of visits they had made to certain saloons on a various Sundays, and declared that the police made no attempt to enforce the liquor laws The members of the League were uncertain as to what they wanted the Grand Jury to do In the matter. The Grand Jury promised to consider the allegations laid before them, and the 1 subject may be touched upon in a pre sentment next Friday. The members of the League will probably give further evidence to-morrow.

HUGHES CAUGHT ON BEHIND. Policeman's Clever Capture of an Alleged Horse Thief. The Bluecont Also Hnd to Stop the Kunnwny Horse. Policeman William Hughes, of the Vernon avenue station, Williamsburg, made a clever capture this morning.

Instead of doing so the driver lashed ft his horse and went clown Broadway on the dead run. HugheB grabned the tall bonrd of the wagon, and after a hard struggle, managed to clamber Inside.

As he did so the driver, Henry llrower, struck at him with the butt end of his whip, but Hughes parried the blow, closed with the man und the two had a very lively fight while the horce was going at top speed. If the tight had been continued a few minutes longer it Is probable that both men would have been thrown out and killed. Hughes subdued his man finally, and then had a hard time In quieting the Drowcr was taken to the station, and in the Lee Avenue Court was held for examination on a charge of grand lar-HL ceny.

The Old Dutchman Knew That Hfc Fiver Ton Well to Like It. Mm The story of the biter bit, with varia- tlons, was repeated with funny results MM- In Lake View the other day, says the Philadelphia Times.

A customer bought groceries at his MM regular place and tendered a So bill. The grocer asked the customer where he MM cot the bill and added that it was one Mm of the worst counterfeits he had ever Dcen. The customer said he knew it MM was a had bill and that he had tried to get rid of It ut several places. "I'll tell you what we'll do," said the Mm grocer, who is a playful sort of a man; '-we'll take it over to 'der corner gro- Mm eery' and get a couple of drinks." Mm The suggestion wus adopted. They MMi got four beers, threw down the bill, re- mt celved in good silver and went out.

"That was as tllck as stealing $4.80, t- jff.aewHt it?" asked the funny grocer. The customer said it was. "What you got to do to-day?" asked the grocer. M) "Nothing much. Was going fishing, but I can put it off." "Let's go downtown and spend this MM change.

It's Just like nndlng it. We Mm can have more fun with It downtown In a minute than we could have In Lake View In a weolc" Bl The customer said that was right, and away they went. After paying two BB fares that left J4.70. They took in Bev- BB era) places in the business district und BB one dime museum. At each place they BB nudged one another and laughed at the BB man who ran "der corner" In Lake BB View.

It was late In the afternoon when BB they returned. They calculated that BB nobody ever had more fun out of J4.70 BF than tney had, and It didn't cost a cent. Br The groceryman went to his store EL'-l und another customer was on hand. He laid down a 10 bill and the funny gro- BsV ceryman, who was whistling "After the Ball," pulled out the cash drawer Hw to get the customer's change. He quit whistling as quickly as if he had been chopped In the neck, and then asked the clerk: "Jake, where did you get this 5 bill?" "Got It from Dutchy, on the corner." "Why, It's a counterfeit." "That so?" Mr "Yes.

Worst I ever saw. How did Mk. Dutchy come to leave It here?" "He came in and got a dollar's worth of sugar, gave me the bill and I gave him $4 In change." "Jake, you take it over to him, buy yourself some beer and you can have half the change." Jake went over to "der corner." bought a glass' of beer and threw down Dutchy shut one eye, shoved the bill back to Jakey and said: "That drink Is on the house. Keep your money tor a rainy day." And the funny groceryman now buys his beer from the other corner, and he and Dutchy walk on opposite sides of the street from each other. Aa It Strnclc Tommy.

Hn "Invested" 914,000 Alrcnily mid Hits Ills Suspicions. Klkln Farmer will be satisfied hereafter If he can get 6 per cent, for his money and escape the Income tax. He had a hankering lifter Investments which furnished a larger margin of prollt, but he bus been cm pi! of a desire 1 1 double his ulrcudy ample fortune as a result of an experience with swindlers that cost him about $11,000. Mr. Farmer, who Uvea In a beautiful homo at 1113 Park avenue, Is past middle uge.

He made a fortune as an exporter and Importer, and retired from active business esrs ugo. Mr. Farmer told the story of how he had been buncoed to an "livening World" reporter to-day, saying philosophically that he could afford to lose JH.txxi, as he has plenty of money left. Mr, l'urmur said that in March last he was atti acted by nn advertisement of Broker J. G.

Dudley, of 13 Wall street, which painted gloriously the advantages of billing mining stocks which he had to offer ut ridiculously low price. Mr. Farmer called on Dudley, who offered him stock of the Gold Mining Sapphire Company. It was quoted In the West nt 00. He would sell trine noove iu uuuiey gave tne name of a llrm ot brokers In Butte, who could tell as to the value of the stock.

Mr. Farmer wired to Butte. The brokers replied that .10 had been offered for the stock. Mr. Farmer hastened to buy $3,000 worth.

Then he wrote to the Butte brokers offering to sell at 30. They replied that the demand was for larger blocks of the stock that the block held by Mr. Farmer. Dudley said a friend of his. Theodore Spauldlng, of Columbus, had some of the stock, which Mr, Farmer might obtain.

When Mr. Farmer again called at IS Wall street he found Dudley's ofllce closed, and learned that Dudley had surrendered It, The capitalist begnn to have doubts, which were, however, stilled when Dudley wrote him he was In Columbus with Spauldlng, who was willing to sell his Gold-Sapphire stock at the house of John C. Wolf, 43 Mound stieet. The pair had secured board with Mr. Wolf a few days before.

Spauldlng was represented to be nn Invnllil. and 'even his face waB kept mullled up, so that nobody in the Wolf house ever saw It. Mr. Farmer ent to Columbus, and when he was offered more mining stock for $11,000 cash at 20 he closed the bargain, and paid over the money In the presence of the Wolf family. He had hardly left the house when Dudley and Hp.iuldlng disappeared.

They have not been seen since. Mr. Farmer notified the brokers In Butte that he had a big block of Gold-Sanphlre stock for sale, and was seized with consternation when they replied that the demand for the stock had ceased. When It revived, they said, they would notify him. Then it dawned upon Mr.

Fnrmer that he had been buncoed. He hurried back to Columbus, but the birds had flown. Nobody could Identify Spauldlng. because he had never allowed his face to be Been. Mr.

Farmer fays Dudley was a small, neatly dressed man, of smooth face and speech and nbnut thirty-seven years old. Mr. Farmer added that the Police Departments of New York, Chicago and Columbus been notified, and he honed to catch Dudley. "I can stind the loss of the money," he said, "but If Dudley Is not caught he may entrap other people who cannot so well afford to lose the money ns I can. I still have plenty left to live on." Mr.

Farmer also said that he had learned that the Gold Sapphire Mining Company had been Incorporated, but' had not developed Its property. Therefore Its stock had no market value.

Capable of Discharging 20,000 Shots Over 2,000 Metres. 1 (lly As.oclated Press PAIHS, May 30. The most conflicting reports are in circulation In regard to the Invention which M.

Turpln, the Inventor of the explosive Melinite, Is said to have sold for 5,000,000 francs to Oct-many, The Invention Is described (as being calculated to entirely change I the system of warfare, and the report of Its snle, true or untrue, has caused a sensation In military nnd diplomatic circles. One reimrt describes the new engine of warfare its consisting of mitrailleuse (rnpld-tlre gun) shell, adapted to a new description of gun carriage having automatic means of transport, nnd which can be turned In any direction while rapidly discharging 20,000 shots over 2,000 square metres of ground. The Turpln mitrailleuse Is said to be loaded automatically by an electric motor, and the shell Is described ns emitting stifling fumes after It has been fired. Emperor William Is said to have bestowed upon the French Inventor the title of Chief Engineer of Armaments. On the other hand.

It Is reported that negotiations for the sale of the new mitrailleuse to Germany have not been completed, and It is also said that Turpln himself has caused the circulation of the reports In regard to the sale of his new Invention to Germany In order to create a scare which will compel the French Government to purchase his Invention at a very high price. Another rumor has It that Turpln. who, some time ago, was sentenced to Imprisonment for having sold to the Armstrong gun-making Arm, of England, certain secrets In regard to the manufacture of explosives and weapons of war, has sold his new invention to England. As a matter of fact, very little Is known about the master, and some time may elapse before the exact nature of Turpln's Invention Is known. DUPUY cabinIt complete.

together with the unexpended balance of the JJO.OUO co ruptlon fund raised lust Winter, to be used In furthering the Interests of the New York police at Albany, will complete the I amount of the mammoth bribe. The I ukase has been Issued, and he who falls i to respect It endangers his position or. i at all events, Invites the enmity of a powerful Influence. There arc many patrolmen who will I be unable to comply with the arbitrary demand, but they have all been made to understand that nothing must be alowed to Interfere with their compliance, aa I faith must not be broken with the men iwho made possible the enactment of the law. The goods have been delivered, but the contract price has not been paid.

The benetltH, however, do not commence until the beginning of next year, but that, under the alleged agreement, must not be taken into consideration, for the bribe must be paid within' forty days from the passage of the law, The names of the beneficiaries of the corruption fund are not positively known.

Furthermore, they want to know more of t)i details, the names of the hennclnr.i'H, for Instance, und Just what particular service they per-foimed, Again, there Is a suspicion that some of the negotiators limy be figuring on pocketing a psitlon of the iluo.om, und the Idea rankles In the patrolmen's) minds nnd makes them feel like exposing the whole scheme. The bill wus Introduced by Senator CopgeHhall, of Oneida.

Kx-Asemblyman Van AiUn, It la said, wna employed as the attorney of the patrolmen at Albany. O'licr mimes were prominent In connection with the liKI, but, of course, there Is no suspicion that any of them were cjjpilzunt of any deal. When the bill passed the Legislature the.V patrolmen were Jubilant. They semed to entertain no doubt that It would become a law und boasted that they had no asjurance to that effect. It was acknowledged that money was sent to Albany to be used, and thla action was Justified by the statement that corporations ana wennny prtvuie concerns and Individuals used money for lobbying purposes, and why should not the police' The matter is being talked about openly by the patrolmen in every station-house, and It seems to be no secret that the big corruption fund Is to be raised.

It Is said, been threatened that If they failed to pay the assessment complaints would be made for every violation of pallce rules, and that they would be compiled to pay more than the amount In fines before Jan. 1.

The Klre Department Is a volunteer one. Some time ngo the Commissioners took a hose carrlnge from 'he West End Company and gave It to the Oliver Doud Fire Company, at North I-ong IJranch.

Fortunately there have been no Area since.

The West End Company owned Its horses nnd apparatus, except the fire engine. They had been paid for chiefly by cottngerj. The Commissioners on Monday decided that the West End Cnmpinv would have to recede from Its position or vacate Its quarters, which was owned by the city, by noon to-duy. The firemen remained firm, and by 12 o'clock removed nearly all of the apparatus except the engine. The Commissioners have put a new set of volunteers In the engine-house, paying the firemen and engineer each ISO a month and two reserve men each IS per fire.

The West End Company has hired Its horses for 13 50 a dny to work on Gambler Phil Daly's Ellthardt Race Track. aw T. A. B. UNION CONVENTION.
