There was more pleasure thaupollUcd for them last ''n i g h t Two comic operas are iu town and the vls» liors crowded to hear them. “The Cori»alr” and **The Crystal Slipper” were greater attractions than the portraits of candidates that iiooreJ anxious ly out on the hot and stuffy corridors. By 10 O^cloct this morning iho politicians and patriots were astir. They brought out the booms which wore slumbering tranquilly in the ' smoky headquarters and placed them once more on exhibition. From the Chicago standpoint, the Qresbain boom was the largest. In point of fact, howoTer, John Sherman's boom is of greater dimensluDS. It Is now or never with Uouest John, and bis henchmen are puillug In their finest work. They claim 360 votes for him on the first ballot Ohio and Pennsylvania are their chief strongholds in Northern delegations. The romalader of their strength is principally from the South. Indiana Is in a melancholy poiUlou. 'With Harrison and Gresham in the field there la strong probability thataulesaan adjustment is reached, the tioosler Birengih will be fritted away. Three ioflueniiol I,, . Indianlans, ex-Qovernor Albert G. Porter, Col- onel William H. Caiklus and ex-Secretnry ot the Navy Dick Thompson, “ the ellvec tongued orator of the Wabash,” arrived at the Grand Pacific to-day. All were engaged during the forenoon in an effort to conciliate the quarreling factions. Judge £. 6. Field, a delegate from Hooelerdom,«aid frankly that Harrison bad the machine and that Gre-^ham had the people. When John C. New beard of this bo swore an oath that made the orthodox shiver. Now is stoering the Harrison skiff through a good many perilous shoals. If he escapes without wrecking It he is a better pilot ihau people here believe him te be. The local chorus for Gresham la swelling. The Gresham organs, which means all the Uepubllcaa newspapers published in Chicago, bristle this tnornlug with assaults on John Sherman. Evi dently Brother Medlll Is preparing to “Mugwump” if Sherman Is nominated. The Blaine specter will not down* A dUpatch published this morniiig from the Pacific slope says the California delegates are BlUl for the Plumed Knight. The Chicago Blaine delegates are making elaborate preparations to re ceive them on their arrival Saturday morning. Then the whooping up of magnetic politics will begin. Blaine’s nominaUoa Is reckoned among the pdsslbllUies, But not among the probabilities. The conservative leaders here are all against it now. Thoy bellOTO bis candidacy would moan failure ih advance of the election. For all that, the Blaine undercurrent is strong h id it may swell into a cataract. The Sherman guns were roaring at noon. Head quarters for the Buckeye Senator was opened this afternoon in parlor 1ST In the Grand Pacific. Bx* Governor Charley Forster, ex-Congressmau Amos Townsend and Mark A. Hanna, of Cleveland, drop ped lu from a morning train. Governor Forster was full of Sherman fight He said to an E aolb cor respondent: “The talk of a bolt from Sherman In the Ohio delegation Is all blanked nonsensa Ho Will have the solid vote from our State. In my Judgment he will be nominated. Ho can carry Now York and the West, New England and the Pacific Slope and be elected.'* The Governor Is sincere in his optimism, but the air is filled with rumors of coniemplated treachery to Sherman. Two delegates from Cluclanatl re fused to sigh a Sherman pledge. Field Marshal Halstead thought this unimportant. “Only aaslninlty could suggest a pledge. Why, I wouldn’t sign it myself. Ohio is for Sherman, al though 1 must ackuowledge that there are one or two kickers.” Charles Emery Smith, of Philadelphia, then pour'Mi Into Halstead’s ear lamentations for Blalud and discussed Pennsylvania’s possible action. It is thought that Quay can swing the Keystone State almost solid tor Honest John. The Gresbamltus^ | . s claim some votes there, but show no figures. General J. N. Knapp, tbo terra cotta chairman of the New York State Exeoutlve Committee, reddened the Grand Pacific rotunda at noon. He chatted cheerfully with Colonel Frederick Grant and looked tiuulterable leorn on the men from smaller States. The National Committee weut Into session a t 11 i , > ; O'clock. Many proxies were present Silting Bull Lawson sent word to Chairman Jones tnat be would not be here until to-morrow. Just before the meet- tog Chairman Jones said: “ We shall do nothing , more to-day than attend routine preliminaries. The ' report of the Subcommittee on Conveutloa Ar rangements will be discussed and approved. Con sideration of candidates for chairman will come m\-- later.” I h ' “ I s there anything in the Blaine talk?” was Irl- asked. Hr. Jones shook his silvered head nega tively. “ There will be no more letters, I think,” he replied. “ I don’t think Mr. Blaine will be nom inated.” Handsome Colonel George W. Hooker, of Vermont, Kational Committeeman, who knows politics, said: “ Don’t make a prophet of me please. But it looks |V;'' If the big tussle would finally be between Sherman I h and Alger. Sherman Is developing great strength. * In fact it looks like Sbermau against the field.” Gresham's managers coralled several wayfaring Vermonters this alteruoon and suojdoted them to ■V powerful arguments. They haven’t yet impres-ed .. their band on the back of the Green mountaineer’d. Whispers of an alliance between the Wayne Miller :>T Hepubllcans and Sbernian are multiplying. If .\IU- 7 ler concludes to try and down Piatt through Sher man and can break Now York’s vote, Sherman's prospects will be improved almost to a certainty of .. , a nomination. Pennsylvania brought out a funny mask this af ternoon. Charley Emory Smith revised his Sher man esUinaies. “Our people will vote on the first V ■ ballot,” he said, “for Mayor Edwin Filler, of Phila- ^i>v ‘ fielpbia.” Several of the Philadelphia delegates have assured the mayor of th a t Senator Quay 0 —-. told Mr. Fitler last Tuesday that ho would also vole IfeV' _ for him, and he will. Sherman’s managers are trying to counteract tbo Fitler nonsense. They think that to find pHnnsylvania on the fence after tff; -: Bhennati’s claims of its vote will be disastrous. To offset the CoUina chairmanship at the St Louis convention there is talk of giving the toin- porary chairmanship hore to Patrick Egan, of Ne braska. A portrait of Blaine was put on exhibition in a corner of ibe Grand Pacific rotunda this afiornoon. The howling Wolverines frotn Michigan are not here but their foreruimers are, and a dreadful Alger Tocallatlc cyclone is to follow. The most startling personage In the advance guard is ihe Hon. lloswell Gowhillikens Horr, the fat humorist of East Saginaw, and the most startling thing about Mr. Horr is his nocktie, a fiamiug scarlet affair that reddons all his vicinity. Mr. Hsrr was a Utile hoarse thlsmornin^i but his confidence was soaring up In the eiheroal.‘ “ Wait till the boys are here,” said Mr. Horr hoarsely and iroproasively. “Just wait.” Otto other man came in from the woods this morning, and be Is not waiting for the boys. He is the Hon. Jay Hubbell, “ My Dear Hubbell” of the past, when funds were gloriously on tap. Mr. Hub- bell la not the gay figure he was. He needs a :ane to help him on bis way and his feet drag 00 tbo ground. Ills entbutiasm does not drag, oven if the fine art of assess ing officeholders be no more. He weut at once to counting noses and bad not got tbrjugh the job when a.Hked about I t “ We’ve come to shout for Alger,” be said joyously. “It’s about time Michigan began to furuisb some Presidential timber as welt as the other klud. He’s a splendid man,” weut on Mr. Hubbell ecstatically. “The party couldn’t do better. He’s going to have a big following in thU convention, a big following.” “How big?” “Oh, DOW, I can’t tell you that. I’ve just come, you know, but ho’U be board from loud when the boys come.” Mr. Hubbell, too, l!fad high hopes ef New York. Everybody has high hopes sow. It was said yesterday that the wild West was runaing things, end the truth of this is growing more emphatic every hour. It is emphatically the Westeru Kepub- llcan party that Is the motive power In everytbing, ami with the exit of Blaine the old States seem to have lost their grip on the mecbaiiUm. The stout Western fingers clutch the throttle and they won't be relaxed. The East has petered out politi cally on the forsaken side of matters political. But in the midst of all this clamor and turmoil the Hon. Walter Q. Gresham Is preserving bis peace of mind. Upon the third floor of Chicago’s huge Federal building is a quiot corner and m that quiet corner ^lits Judge Gresham llsteu- Ing to the tedious woes of a person named Peck, who seems to be m about the amount of trouble his - name measures with the United States Government. . ^ The Judge looks sleepy and the cose does uotat- tract an audience greater than six at one time. This qmel corner is no more than 300 feel away . from the spot where the pet Is belHog, but tbo ! ' breaking of the bubbles does not reach his oara ' The dreary monotone of a Judicial life'is going V ^^Sbt along on the very verge of tho seething oal- firon in which his. fortunes aro tossing tumuUu- ; ously. Ho U the only candidate in tho town and Is the only one likely to be, even though the advent of Frank Hlscouk and Chauneey H« Depew is im minent. Just now people are saying that .Mr. : Hopew won't permit anybody to exert himself for him. Tula Is T a Chicago idea, but from the crags of Peeksklllrames a piping squeak from Gen eral James William Husted, the Bald Eagle of Westchaster (who taught Cbanncey to play three }ld eat in the street long ago), saying that New York’s favored too is not doing anything of the Hud, end t at his candidate will boom^mJgbty ' gK)D, because New York will for tbo greater part te with him. The General wires cheerfully • that Kings County Is with Depew—that is ; lU but the sly Louis £. Nicot and bis col-. .Aague from tbo Fifth District aud perhaps , tno other. The sly Louis does not tell vvy luddenly who or what be is, for oven Dwight Lnw- .fence, th wise advance agent for the RepnbUoan .State lii New York, shakes hU .head ^ murmurs that he ts. blessed If he fe t e I e '^ mh b6 elinga t 9 ^ b e H o s ier itrle, or bablt, ot oatlnc j With hto knife, abqTe1(a9blon: TI) 0 ''proad B u t I T turn* an lia nose a t this, b ut It endear,, bim ta iha- m rh s a p Its nose a t this, b ut .lt endears him to ihO' mighty West, espeolally to CbJeaga The Judge is a handsome, dignified looking man, and becomes the bench. His ploture is rather the haqdsomest of the five that grace the desk at the Grand Paolfio. Homely John Sherman, plain Alger, drowsy Harri son and dashing AUUon keep him company. The pilgrims to the United States Court see a grave, well balanced man, with hair just becomingly sil vered and oreeplug pretty low down on a wide forehead. A serene, brave man Is Gresham, and quite the most Interesting figure In the field. Ills sad to think what kind of a time Mr. Oranrillo W. Harman, the beauteous blond leader of the Twenty-fifth Ward, is going to have when he gets here late ou Saturday night. By the exercise ot an awful pull Mr. Harman Is the slnglo Brook lyn man who will possess a room by hintself, aud nineteon men are getUug around on sofas waiting for a chance to sleep on tho floor of his apartment. Cbicag'i has not shoved up tho rates for wayfar ers yet and says It does not intend to. The price of drink*! remalus normal and two glasses of soda can be obtained for fifteen cents. The New York dolegatos are to be labolod with silver and blue and the Gresham boom is the only ono that has so far expanded as to develop an em blem. It consists of a silver button topped with blue enamel In which blazes a golden star around tbe tips of which ruus Gresham's name. Tho full swing of the coureatioa tide baa begun to flow and it now occupies all space with base bail in tho Chi cago newspapers. A wpful ruHb for seats harasses the commlttoe In charge. The big auditorium in wbleh the convea- Uon meets is scarcely one-third cqmpteted. Its walls are up high enough to glvo two galleries room, and a canvas roof runs across them. The press arrangements are so wretchedly Inadequate as to make certain iadoscribible luoonvonieBces. About balf of the applications for proas seats bare been denied and those honored have bpon out in h alt by tbe amiable persons in charge. Nebro^^ka means to add itself to the chaos by bringing John C. Frem int first Republican candi date for President on from that nebulous State and put In seseuty-five eventful years against Thuif- inau's. Nobody encouraires the Idea but Nebraska. Ho will be made the center of a great demonstra tion. Having los( all but voices, tho party is de termined to outyoll the vociferous unterrified who laid 8L Louis des daie. Ono more Republican ot rather later brand is here, Colonel Frederick Dent Grant. He has trimmed his beard close and has become sociable. Colonel Grant was pleotlfnlty pre-ent this morning. He chummed with a Texan antique who lucklosaly vowed never to cut' his bair or board until Henry Clay became President and has saved a heap of money on barbers bills in consoquonce. He attracted much attention by smoking bis cigar after the manner of hU famous father, holding the weed In the corner of bis mouth with the huruing eudetloking up toward hla left eye. FOR HIM AGAIN. Cleveland Favored by Maxwell and Christensen, It Beerint to Look a , Thoash the Loeai Mnzirnmp Tots Will Not be Cast for tho Repnblican Nominee. The Indopendfint BepizbHcan organization,' called tho Committee of Oue Huudred, which did so much for tbe election of Grover Cleveland in 1881, is still an organisation. When it met after the Presidential campaign closed, it was decided to continue its existence, and anlborlty was given to Henry W. Maxwell to caU the bo ly together. The ranominatioii of President Cleveland may lead him to do so. He said to-day: ' “1 have not thought seriously of calling a meot- Ing, but 1 suppose I BbaUahortly send out either an official notice or a personal letter to the members of tbe committee. I do not yet know what tbe (eel- lug is among them and wiU have to learn by per sonal inquiry.” “ What is your personal opinion of Cleveland’s candidacy?” “I think Clevoland Is a brave man. The issues have been fairly met by bim and he has fulfilled his pledges. Tbe Issue is not oxtreme protection as against extreme free trade, but extreme pro tection or prudent and business like reduction of taxation. To take the tax off whisky aud tobacco—an internal tax—U relieving two ar ticles considered as a proper subject for taxation in every land. I think the action of the Iniependent Uapubllcans more than anychfag else elected Cleveland. As they placed him there they are In honor bound to support him. especially as his course has beeu opposed by some Democrats. Tho support of the Independents will thus be an indorsement of the President and not of the Democratis party. In other words, I think if they follow him, he will lead the Democratic party out of Its Bourbonism. I believe tbs candl- d*ite of the Republican party will be James O. Bialue, and the issues will be just the same as four years age. Under such conditions there can be no question where Independent RopubUcans can and will stand It ie a pocullsr condiilon of the Republican party that when Gresham Is spoken of as a candidate it is a signal for the state ments that ha Is an athelsr, an Infidel aud a know nothing. An ideal candidate for the Re publicans to nominate Is thus antagonized. One thing Is certain, if the Republicans of the East stand for extreme proteotion, thoy will alienate a rail body of their party west of the Aileghanies.” “I like President Cleveland personally and as an official,\ said General Christensen to-day. “I be- lieve in keeping lu his posUiou the man who does his duty, and the chances are nlue out of ten that I will support President ClerelancL 1 believe he is right on tariff reform. Id o not believe in free trade, because It U a t present impracticable. Pres ident Cleveland’s foreign policy ha^ been conserva tive and dignified. He will, in my opinion, secure tbe support of Independent RopubUcans all over the country.” THE PRESIDE.VCY. B lalnc> 8 L e t te r a o f W l t b d r a w a l ^ G a n A n r O n e E lve B e a t C l e r e l a a d ? To the Editor of tho Brooklyn EayU: This indeed is a tim e when the m o st astute politicians in the Kepubllcau party are perplexed, not to say discouraged. Yet among them can still be found those who express the opinion that Blaine will be the norniuoe. Tbe most peculiar tiling is that some of those men will iuiist that Mr. Blaine has not declined to accept the nomination in tbe event of certain contingencies. On rofleetlou ltdoeg appear that the Plumed Knight may. yet be tbe nominee. The famous Florenco letter was wriueu with the greatest of foresiglit, which fow but its writer possess. The effect of it upon tbe people was sagaciously noted by him. That letter created a more intense desire for bis renomluatlou than previously existed, aud It is safe to say that that was the desired effect. Immediately after Its pub lication the papers and people were busied about tho real iutontiou of Mr. Blaine aud tbe purport of bis letter. First its authenticity was questioned, thou the Biucerity of the writer. Some said that the letter was paradoxical and others charged Mr. Blaine with duplicity. While all this was going on Mr. Blaine, having noihlug to do, raaiutained a painful ullence and observed the pulse of his ad herents, but saw fit not to disturb the situation by a more explicit leiior. It was becoming more aud more apparent, as the date for the convening of the Dem- ocratio Couvenilou approached, that Grover Glt*ve- land was to be ronomluated. To no one was this more appareiU and a t the same time disbearteulug tbau to Mr. Blalno. Then, as it were, making a virtue of necessity, Mr. Whitolaw Reid received letter number two. This to Mr. Blaine’s friends wa< the unkindost cut of alL It was then said, The die IS cast. Up to the date of the maliing of this last latter Mr. Blaine’s renomluatlou in 1883 was as equally certain as was his electlou in 1S34 up to tho date of tho speech contaiulug the memorable three R’s. His second letter is now looked upon al most as an abdication, and lu Its order is subjected to a similar aualytical ordeal as Lts first. It is claimed that tho secoud letter virtually admits that Grover Cleveland cau beat James G. Blalno at tho polls. Also, since the admission in that form ie made by the Plumed Knight himself, who has suf- ficieut impotuosity to bold to the contrary ? If then Mr. Blaine cannot boat Mr. Cleveland, who can? Taking it fur granted that Pro-iident Cleveland can receive more electoral votes than tbo groat states man, the Plumed Kuighi, the maguotic man, “ favorite sons ” h are little left other ihau a forlorn hope.

It IiMki fti ThMirb the Principal Wltneia Had Been J^noed to Keep Out of tbe Way—A GIrPs PeeulUr Aotiona. “ 1 d o n 't know where Lizzie ^ i e b e l is, A great many people have inquired for her, h u t I can tell them noiblng.” That la what Mrs. J. Carso, of 411 Twelfth street, said to an E agle reporter when he called upon her this morning. Lizzie is a very pretty girl, with very while and very regular (oech, blonde hair and big* hlae eyes and pink and white complexinu and deep red Ups and regular clear out features and pretty ears* Her figure Is slim, straight, tall, graceful and lithe aud, taken altogether, she is moat atirautive in appearance. On the night of Sunday, June 8, Lizzie had an ex traordinary adventure, so she and her escort, 8am- nol Mellor, upon that occasion declared. At 10:80 o’clock, after having paid a visit to a friend living near the armory of the Fourteenth Regiment they Jumped oft a Vanderbilt avenue car at tbe corner of Ninth avenue and Seventh street, with the Intentiou of walking to Lizzie’s home. Two young then sot upon them. Oue held Mellow and the bthor put his band oyer Llzzte^s mouth and dragg id her into the field. Mel low ran to the polioe station and told the story and two officers who wore.sent out with him found tbe twoyoiing men In question. They were Peter Camp- bHll, alias Sweeney, and John Morrisey, members of tbo “Gunners,” as the poilcti call the gang of rowdies who prowl nocturualiy over tho vacant lots on tbe west side of Prospect Park. Miss Siebelldentifled Campbell and .Morrisey. To the police she said that she bad escaped from tbe yeuug men and found her own way home on the night In question. Last Tuesday evening Lizzie disappeared. “She said nothing to me,” said Mrs. Carae, “ex cept that she was going to see a man In regard to her case. Tho way it came about was this. A ring came to the door bell at 8 o’clock last Tuesday evenibg, and a voice called up the tube to eay that a man ou ths corner of Eighth avenue and Twelfth street (a block away from 411 Twelfth street) wanted to see Lizzie. She went out and did not return for about twenty minutes. Then she came back in a great hurry and changed her dress, saying that she bad to go and see a man In regard to her case and that la the lost I have' seen or heard of her. She must have known whom she was going with and where she was going. I rather think she disappeared to escape testifying in court, Lizzie told me nothing at alt about her alventure to the lot with the young men, but she told my sister la law that tbe young men did not h u rt her aud that one ot them actually saw her heme. I did not ask her any questions, fihe would only have told lies. Lizzie was a good girl till she met Mellon After that he «kept her out very Into at nights and she had many seoreia from me. I told Mellor not to keep the girl out later than 10 o’clock but ho persisted lu keeping her out till after 11. It must have been 11:80 on the night of Juno 8, when they met the two young men who chased Mellor. What were Mellor and Lizzie doing iu the lot at that time 7 If they Jumped off a Vanderbilt avenue car why did they leave it at that late hour before they reached the corner of Twelfth street? Thoy told a He when thoy said they were visiting Mellor'a friends down town. The family In question say Mellor and tbe girl did not call upon them oa Sun day, June 8. I think Lizzie was afraid to Api>ear iu cuurL” Inqniry among Mrs. Corse’s neighbors developed the opinion that Lizzie bad gone away with one ef her ^ a l e friends to eso^pe prosecuting CampbeU and Morrlstey, Female rel itivea of the latter are said to have called on her and offered bet money to disappear. She is spoken of as a girl who was as gay and free in her manner as she was pretty—a flirt who knew all the Seventh Avenue Railroad men and many of tho Ausoula Clock Works’ male employes. ^ The detectives of tbe Eighth Precinct arc com pletely puzzled as to Lizzie’s whereabouts.

A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company, sent from Berlin at 1:52, says lockjaw has set in. Photographers have made preparations to take pictures of tbe scene a t tb^Em peror’s deathbed. Tile Queen has received an official telegram say ing that the Emperor Is iu extremis and that be may die at any moment. Tbe Prince of Wales has arranged to break up the Ascot Race- party tho moment that the Emperor’s death occurs.

Ttfm biiCotto I / n u n r t lie d m e n * b y R a i l r o a d Workmen employed by tbe Union Elevated Railroad made an inleresilng discovery ourlog their excavations in the Twenty-bixth Ward on Mondax. They wero digging for the trestle work at a point near the Manhattan Beach Uallroai, be tween Broadway and Bushwlck avenue, and were only a couple of foot below the surface; when one one of tho men struck a flat brown stone. It was perfectly smooth and gave out*'the mys terlous hollow sound that is suppoi^ed to pro sngo the proseuco of heaps of boardod gold. White some of men were speculating on how much the share of each would be, the others hastily uQcovored tho “lid” to tho “treasure box” and amid considerable exoUemenc tho earth was all scraped off and tbe stone rained. Great was the disappolnttneut, for no treasure was there, only a bed of hard packo'l clay on which the slab had re«Qc],aud, Instead of gold and silver, the oxpectaut men found only a ghostly warning as to the vanity of all things human iu lottors as clear cut and per fect as though graven but yesterday, it said: On the 18th November, 1801, In tbe 5Gtb yodr of hl.s age, Entered into tbo joy of his Lord.

Tho upper half of tho stono, which is buppo.sed to have marked the resting place of some mernber of tho Furman family, is gone, and no trace of It can be found. The lower naif, now In the office of Engineer Cornell, of tho Union Elevated Railroail Company, is 22 inches thick and measures feet by 2. The ploce where it was found is said to be the Bite of the old burial ground of the Furman family, whose mansion has been standing near the spot for 135 years. MRS. HANSEN’S STORY. S b o D ogs N o t K n o w IV liy S b o TVas iten t to a n A « y l a i i u Mrs. Hansexi, a wom an about dO years of age, wife of P. Hansen, a printer in the employ of C. O. Fitch, of 89 Union Square, New York, relates the following story of her troubles: It appears that she has been marrleil fifteen years and seven months and has bad eight children, three of whom are now living.

Is (be alleged cause for (he action hronghb For many years Aehbel Viola lived I d the anneied district. Some time In He- oember he presented a note for $250, drawn Ih bis lover by John W. Hoffladon, a Now York pbotograpber, to Alois VIsbelmor, a gro* oer, doing bnsiness at tbo corner of SmUb and Beltlo avenues. Ulsheimer paid him the money, but when the note tell doe, HoCdudon refused to pay. The grocer, through bis council, Mr. Klendl, then began suit. This proceeding brought out an Interesting story as far as Mr. Vlsle was conoerned. He was at that time a pillar of tbe First Baptist Churob, of Bast New York, and woe engaged ostensibly In the lumber trade, representing B mill a t Point Back, Ala. He'moved lu tbe best society aud naturally gained tbe conll- denue of mauy business men, especially grocers and butchers. Tills process of raiding money was a novel oue, and Is best told in Grocer Hlzhelmer’s own worda He clelms that on December 20 Vlele asked bim to cash a check drawn by a man named Thomas Sherman, for $106. Hlshelmer granted the favor and on tbe follow ing day casbed another cbeck for $111. He followed this up by oasblng oherks for $108 aud $106. All the documents were drawn on tbe St. Nicholas Bank and made out lu Vlelo’e favor by Sherman. tJlz- helraer eveutually learned that the oheoks wore worthless, but being easily misled he bslleved Vtele’s explanation that there was a mistake some- wbero and that the amount of the oheoks . would be made good. He still has tbe checks. A DIVIDED BILL Which Greatly Puzzled Treas> ury Officials. Oue Hair of a TwentY Hollar Note Goes to HTasbiBRten from Brooklyn and the Otber from New York—Mrs. Ennii Nns. pected of Frand. A few days ago the Treasury Department at Wasblogton received a a iaclosare from Brook lyn. U contalued balf of a (20 United States Treas ury note and au affidavit made by Mra. Auu Btinls. of lOSBalllo street, in wbioh she swore that the other half of the hill bad been chewed up by her child. She asked that another bill be Issued In its place. The next day the Treasury Department re ceived an affidavit from John Shea, of New York, which alae contained half of a S20 Treasury note which be desired te have redeemedt Bboa’a affidavit stated that he lived at the Bull’s Head Hotel, at Twenty-first street and Third avenue, New York, that the bill had been torn In balf accidentally and that he had lost the other balf. Strange to say, this half bore the same number as the balf which bad been received from Mrs. Ennis the day before. The two halves were laid together, and It was found that the torn edges matched exactly. An agent ot the Treasury called oa Mrs. fiaula. Sho-stated that on Decoration Day she gave her S year old boy, Joseph, h e r pocset book to play with. It contained a $20 bill and no other bill. Not long afterward she netlced tbe half of a bill on the floor and feu&d b lu of the other half In the child’s mouth. Mr. Shea was next called upon. Be was found to. be a sporting man who roada bis headquar ters at the Bull’s Head UnieL He said a friend playfully snatched a (20 bill from his hand and in so delng tore the bill In two. That night Shea came over to Brooklyn to visit the Ennis family, and a day or.two after he discovered he bad lost one ot the halves. As bis story was straightforward ho was not arrested, but a warrant was issued for Mra Ennis, as it was evidout her story about the bill belug. chewed was a falsehood. Biie was' arraigned before U. S. Commissioner Allen aud admitted to ball In (500, and tbe case will come up before Commlsslouer Allen to-morrow. Mra Ennis is desorlbed as the mother of the Mamie Ennis who charged the ex-prIest, William J. Sher man, with leading her astray before ho married Lizzie McCoy. SHE HAD NO ONE TO LOVE HER. A.

The story of her arrest by Court Officer Cadiey, who found her loaning against a lamp post, and the developments tiiat followed have al ready beau published in tha E aolb . Since that time Lillie has been an inmate of Bt. Mary’s HoapitaL Early last evening tbe|girl made an in effectual attempt to escape. She put on her hat, threw an old shall over her shoulders and was making her. way out of the door, when she was caught Word was sent to the Fourth Police Pre- ciuct, where she had been arrested, and Detectives BhaughDMsy and Delehanty took her from tho hospital and locRed her up. This mornlug she was arraigned before Justice Kenna on aohargeof attempted suicide. Her appearauco was generally pitiable. With ber eyes full of tears, she said: “ I am Innocent of this charge.” The officer handed the Court a small notebook In which was rudely scrawled the following: To whom it may coneern; I am tired of Puvity. I bare tried and tried to keep up my Curage But it has (Hiied me. At last X ath All alone in the World wlih no one to lx>ve me.

Lillie said afterward that she was born In Smith- field, L. I. Three years ago she left home because of the alleged cruelty of her father. Then she said rather sorrowfully, “1 have five sisters and four brothers, and mother had enough to do to look after them without my trou: ling her.” WANTS A QUARTER OF A BULLION, D e caitM e (b o M Uifc iA ;u id s P a i a t o d H i s C l o i b i n i r G reen* **ProfcBsor” A.

W ard, of 392 Seventeenth street, and Henry C. DuBols, of 161 Twenty-third etroet both employes of the Atlantlo Avenue R h II-* road Co I pany, were arraigned before Justice Massey this morniug to plead to a charge of larceny preferred by Mr. William J. Richardson, the ssoretary of the company. Ward Is a con ductor on the - Seventh avenue Hue and Du Bols a starter at the Long island depet. They are charged with being partners to a scheme by which Abe company has lost several hundred dollars during the past four mouths. The scheme to defraud tbe company consisted in turning lu transfer tickets, which were reoeiveJ, acQorJIug to Ward’s statemout, from DuBols, In the place of cS'^h fares. The difference In tbe number of these tickets turned in to the company from time to- time aroused suspicion and led to an investigation, which finally resulted In the expos ure of tbo whole plot, Detective Rorke, of the Third Preoinot, arrested Ward yesterdayv-and puBots was taken Into cus tody while a t bis post this morning.' Ward made a full ooDfossion, the. facts of which are g l ^ h 'b ^ low. On February 8, while employed as a conductor on tbe Seventh avenue line, tbero was s plot batched between tbe starter (DuBols) and Ward, by which the former was to give Ward transfer tickets, which were to be used by him and turned over to the com pany in-lieu of cash fares received from the pos- Bongers. The arrangement was that Ward should give DuBoU one-halt of what he got for them; or oente for each transfer ticket. Wprd arranged with Conductor Henry T. Jones, of 615 Eighteenth street, to dispose of a portion of the tickets be rt*- celved. He explained the matter to Jones and he was perfectly satisfied to assume the risk of being de tected. Ward used to get the tickets from DuBols on his first trip coming up In the mornlug the weeks that DuBols was on duty mornings, and on bis first trip going down when DuBols was on duty In the afternoons. He got an average of from fifty to sixty tickets each day, aud never less than forty. When he was not able to use them all he tore those up he didn’t use. Eome days he used as many aa forty, tbe average being between thirty and forty. DuBols was paid his share every Satur day. Twice he received (7. and never less tlian (5. Conductor Jones used to dispose of from twnnty to thirty tickets a day, paying Ward 2)4’ cents each for them, amounting to from (3.50 to over (4 per week. Ward received tho tickets from DuBols daily. He usually got a package of unused tickets of tbe day before to turn Into the office, and the extra tickets received frem DuBoiawouli be handed to him In a package. Sometimes when be was on duty mornings DuBois would pass the tickets to Ward wrapped up in a newspaper. On Saturday morning, June 2, Ward was not a t work, having been laid off on Friday. That morning he went to DuBois and gave him (5 for that week’s tickets and received from him transfers, which he gave to Conductor Leonhardt, who was ruuolng his (Ward’s) car that-day. He did this so that the number of transfero turned in should not bo less on that day than the average for the former days of the week. Leonhardt took the tickets. He also gave tickets to another eonduotor, by the name ot Cleare, for a month previous to his being taken off, hut only received $2 altogether from him. Jones also made an affidavit admitting his con nection with tbe scheme to defraud the company. He says that he told Ward of tbe probability of de- tectlon, but he replied that in such case he weuld resign, and under no clrcumatances would he make known the name of the party he got the tickets from. Jones bat not been placed under arrest, as ho probably will be used -by the company against Ward and DuBols. DuBols pleaded uot guilty to tho charge preferred against bim and demanded to be heard before the-Grand Jury. Judge Massey accordingly adjourned the matter until the 20cli InsU, and held both prisoners lu $1,000 bail, iu de fault of which they w.ere held.

The Monahan Carpet and Farhi> ture Company. A Fifth ArenuA Basinest tfVhlch Did Sot Pay—H akin? an Asgignmeiit—Some of tbe Creditors. The Monohan Carpet and Furniture Com pany a t Sixth street aud Fifth avenue has made an assignment. Tbe llabilUies are said to be about $15,000. The assets are believed to exceed this amount in value. The preferred creditors are un derstood to be E. SI Higgins, carpets, 84 Widto street, New York, and H. B. Clafflin, als(> of that city. No Brooklyn house la kaowu to be involved except la •comparatively small amounts rang ing from (50 to $500. TLo establishment la closed to-day. The business was started sev eral months ago by Pa rlok Monahan, who had been for mauy years In the grocery business In DeKalb avenue at Scbeuck street, owned several houscEliod lots in that neighborhood and was sup posed to be pretty well fixed financially. Associated with him la the Mouahan Carpet, aud Fiarnliure Company were his brother, William Monohan, and his sons John and Joseph Monahan. Some of bla creditors got wind of the assignment beforehand, and ono of them, a Now York furniture dealer named Henshaw, Is said to have removed a wagon load of chairs from the place yesterday. Tbo build ing was rented from Liquor Merchant Caranagb, the lease fixing the first year's rent at $2,500 and the rent for each following year a t $3,000.

The reporter fin ally brought Mrs. Monahan, a very pleasant aged lady to the basement door. Sue said it was true that her husband had made an assigument, but Bhet-’ould not give any particulars. Tho fail ure was au entire surprise to her. She knew Mr. Monahan was at (lie store, because a gentleman from Tonkera bad found him there lu the moroing. A story was current around the store to the effect that furuitureiind carpets were being sold away below cost yosCorday, the apparent desire being to get as much spot cash as possible at any sacri fice. No one had seen Mr. Monahan enter the store to-day, and his wife did not know where he was, except that he had “gone to (ho store.\ Dealers say that high lent, poor neighborhood, skin business and compe tition have made the Monahan Carpet and Furni ture Company a costly business experiment from the very first Mrs. Patrick Monahan toId,_ tho re porter that Bhe knew her husband had lost a great deal of money.

Maxwell to-day. “ While I be lieve Governor Hill’s veto message was a make shift for tbe political bosses, I believe he did right in sending the question back to Brooklyn. It U too easy to go to Albany for legislation. Tbe people deserve no better governraeat than they are wili ng to voto fer. If there were fewer appeals to tbe Legislature and less of fishing on Election day, all would be well. However unpleasant It Is to see a needed Improvement defeated it Is bet. ter 80 , and that the people have their noses placed against the grindstoue so that they may realize aud use their power for a rem edy. Tbeu they would do more than nominate good men for aldermen and eay notblag about them afterward. If the same.public interest could have been excited over the Republican Alder- manic ticket nominated last fall as has been shown in the Electric Light bill this Spring there would have been no need of sending to Albany. If the property owners would make up an Aldermanlc ticket of men fit to tuu for Mayor, such as Frederick A. Sebroeder, Setn Low, Joseph F. Knapp, General C. P. Christensen, John Qlbbn, WllUaui H.

A Mysterious Murder in South Brooklyn. Why Mr«. Lonohan’i Hnsband Was Taken Into Cns(odT—Tiie Police end tbe Cora, ner Fnzzlod. Hra; EllenLenehan, whowoa alHmt40 years of age, died at midnight on Tuesday in her apart ments a t 206 Hamilton avenue, from the eff<*o(s of A wouud iu the abdomen. Her husband, John, has been arrested and committed to jail pending th ^ result of the coroner’s inquest. The bouse is one of a number of three story brick tenemeuts kuown as Far Down Row. They occupied three rear rooms on (h^ top floor. They received a great many visitors and frequently all hands got drunk. For tbe past week Lizzie Montgomery has been stopping there and a family named Jones, who oc cupy tbe front rooms on tho same floor. Monday night a man went up to Louehan’tt apartments aud saldr he wanted bis wife. Lenebau and he had a few words on ibe landing and the former struck him end drove him from the houso. After that the other tonaucs in Che house heard.Leaehan and his wife engaged la a violent quarrel. The woman screamed several times. Tuesday-evening James Devau, of WilHam street, and James Dowling, of 210 HamlUon avenue, visited the Lenebans’ apart ments. Boer was sent for frequeiitly and thO whole party became more or loss lutoxlcated. During the evening Mrs.'Lenehan had remained seated. At about 11 o’clock she arose and walked Into the ball- way. She returned in a few mlnutei and resumed her seat. She had not bean sluing long when ber head fell back and sbe gasped: “ Send fer my sister^ i am dying.” The Montgomery woman happened to look down at Mrs. Lenoban’s feet aud saw several clots of blood on the floor. She called Lenehan’s attouilon to them and said that he had better go for a doctor. While he hesitated to do so blood began to flow from bis wife in a stream. Dr. Neakor, of 331 Clin ton street, was summoned, but upon his arrival MfH. Lenehan was dead. Coroner Rooney, who was notified. Instructed Dr. Shepard to make a post mortem exatuinatloti. He did so aad found a con tusion on the left side of tho head just above the ear, a wound oa the forehead, a third one on the back ef tbo head and a contusion of the upper lip. But the cause of death, in his opinion, was a lacerated wound about two Inches in length that penetrated in an upper direction the lower ex tremity ot the abdomen and deflected out ward about feur lueiies. It produced a hem orrhage, which resulted in death. The wound was ovlilently caused by a blunt pointed Instrument. As soon as the result of tbe examluation was made known, Lenehan was placed under arrest by Cup- tain Ijowery. He was found at his home' in a drunken stupor. Lizzie Montgomery, Oevan and Dowling wore arrested later os witnesses. As tho three witnesses positively state that Mrs. Lenehan was not struck during tbe even ing by her husband, tbe Coroner and the police are considerably puzzled by tbe case. Dr. Rooney says that such a woun4 might have been Inflicted earlier In tbo evening and the hemor rhage temporarily delayed by a d o t of blood euob as those that were seen by tbo Montgomery womau. He says that tbe beer drinking and the exertion of mevlcig about would have forced this out and giron the hemorrhage full sway. Mrs. Coffey, who occu pies tbe rooms underneath Leneban’s, says that she heard the couple fighting on Sunday and Mon day. Lenehan la about 43 years ot age and a man of powerful frame. He has black hair, a swarthy complexion and an unirlrartied black beard. He gained a living by working, along shore. He told the Coroner, In a'dogged way that he had never Btruok bis wife, aud when he was commuted indistinctly mumbled: “I’m satisfied.” The clothing worn by the dead woman ou Tuesday night was examined a t noon to-day by Detectives Connor and O’Horke. They found a silt in a petticoat at tbe point that must h are covered tbe woman’s wound. Coroner Rooney at 12 o’clock impaneled a Jury, which viewed the remains, after which the inquest was adjourned until Monday night UNDERCONTROL Diphtheria at the Brooklyn Nursery. Two Hor* Fatal Gates Reported, b a t L ittle Danger *f a F a rth e r Spread of the Disease. As announced in the E agle of yesterday dlpbthoria broke out la^t week In the Brooklyn Nursery, on Herkimer street, near Kingston aveuue. Six cases developed, of which five have proved fatal, two children succumbing to tbo disease yes- terday. In each Inataoco the childrea attacked were Isolated from the other Inmates. Tbe youngest child attacked was not quite 10 raonttis old, the eld- e&t, a boy of 3 years, who Is uow conyalesolng. The first and second cases developed ou Friday, and on Saturday two more eases were added to the list, the children dying Monday morning between the hours uf7 and 10.o’clock. On Sunday morning another child was attacked, and en Monday evening still another, both dying yesterday. The disease seems, however, to have been checked. Dr. O. S. RUcb, the visiting physician, Is constantly in the lu- siliuUon. Every sanitary precaution has been carefully taken, the rooms in which the at tacked children slept having boon cleaned. Tbe dead children were buried within tweuty-four hours ot the time of death, and in each Instanse the moihers attended tbelr little one's fuueraL Tbe Board of Managers held tnelr regular meeting joh - terday, when further dlacuaalon ensued ou the sub- joctof bulldlDg a hospital. The project Is uot for the purpose ot providing accomiuodatloit for babies with contagious diseases outside the luatitutlon* but for tbe purpose of more effectually preveoting tlm spread of disease iii the eveut of its appearance, and also to provide for sickly childron, whom It would be unwise to place among the healthy ones. CAUSED BY CRiHINAL CARELESSNESS. H o w S y d a e y iU H riun W a s l a | u r o d o n tb e C l e T a t e d R o a d * To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: My attention having been called to your ac count of “An Accident on tho Elevated Road,\ lu issue of 11th iustaat. In which It is stated that the lad, in trying to get ou tbe car before the gate was opened, fell aud was crushed agalust the stailon platform, I beg leave to say that It Is Incorrect from (he beginning, and I desire to place the facts clearly before yoii, as they bappeiied, and trust the same will be given space iu your columns. Tho lad referred to Is Sydney T. Marlon, of 833 iMohroe street, Brooklyn. While the train was in motion the gate of the car, contrary to all hiw, was opened by the gaiemau, and a man in haste to leave the car, doubtless ran against the lad, precipitating him between the cars sad platform, where, falling upon the track, the dreadful aud horrifying Injury wns received, neceaiUHtlng tbe amputation of his loft leg above tbe knee, and he now lies in St. Mary’s Hospital In a critical cbodltion. It ta a self evident fact that the cars must have been In motion to have run over him, and it is also exceediugly clear (hatif the boy was run Into by a mau leaving the car the gate must hare bsen open, and as the boy did not receive hl3 injury till af er be was run into. It is very conclusive that the gate was opened beforo the cars were a t a standstill. This occurrence is a terrible Instance occasioned by tbe carelessness and direct diaobeJlence of some one—u'direct violation of a law providing (or tho safely of the traveling public—and no punishment Is too severe for the party or parties who directly disobey such law. Your life and mine are certainly lu danger if this state of affairs continues, and it occurs to me that it should be every individual’s duty to report such disobedience to the proper p.irty, aud I shall not fail to follow my own alvlee.

H o A d v lvov a C o i i i e n i p u r a r i r ( • E d i t i t s F r o o T r a d e H a t t e r * To ihe Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: The enclosed cutting from the N'euj Y o r k Timeeot Saturday, 9.h insL, Is supposed to bean argument in favor of lower tariff on wool: . PhUllpa & Kombardt, woolen mauuraomrers, [Lawreuce, Mass.} who have made a great success during the past few years, are about erecilag a new mill, which will be fully as large as tbe oue they uow occupy. .Mr. Kemhardt la a tariff reformer and has no fears regarding tbe outcome, providing the Mills bill it passed. It is a notable fact that many of the eritployes of the woolen mills, lu fact a large majority, express tbemselvoB in favor ot tariff re form, especially la relation to wool. Oue of the leading wool buyers of the city, who some time ago was a strong ProtecUODlst, says he has materially changed bis views and is now heartily a supporter ot tne Mills bill. At present, uuder a Treasury rul ing, wool tops or wool sorted aud carded Into large rolls come iu a t such a rate as to make It cheaper for manufacturers to buy wo >1 lu that shape rattier tb^u to import tho raw material aud have it soried here. In consequence of this fact nearly all the wool sorters tbere are out of empioymeut. It must be immensely valuable to the wool sorters who are thus thrown out of omployment because the work they have beeu doing is uow, through a pernicious ruling of tbe Treasury Departmeut, taken from them. This is a fit accompaniment for the blanket contract recently given out by the Navy Departmeut, whereby American laborers wero cheated out of abont (6,006 lu order that the Govern ment might save 4600. If the Sew York 7imee wishes to educate the people to a belief in the beauties of Its tariff (beorles It bad better edit items such as this a little more carefully. J.
