The American Extravaganza Company, presenting "Aladdin, Jr.." at English's Op era. House this evening and the rest of the week, is much larger than heretofore, th ballet especially having been greatly augmented. In this feature one of the most noted premier danseuses of the Russian school has been selected In the person . of Mile, Catherine Barlbo, who but recently delighted the cultured audiences at th Imperial Theater. Moscow. Her school in entirely different from that of Frauline Martha Irmler, the distinguished German danseuse, who still remains at the head of Manager Henderson's corps du ballet. " As to the cast of "Aladdin, Jr.," it can be said th, characters are In excellent hands. The libretto and music require Interpretation by capable artists, dramatically and vocally. These requirements seem to have keen met in the selection of principals, and as to the chorus, there need be no uo-uDt. jdglng from past successes of this company. Miss . Anna Boyd has the title role, to which she brings the experience of several years in comedy, farce-comedy, comio opera and extravaganza. She- Is a bright, handsome, dashing comedienne, and it is said that she does in this rola the best work ofher entire professional fcareer. Miss Allene Crater will be seen s the Princess, and her success In this character was one of the surprises at the opening performance last spring. She was described then by one of the critics as "a dream of a girl, fresh and sweet as a halfMown rose." She was the idol of the "dudes" and "Johnnies" of Chicago all summer. Miss Frankle Raymond has been sufficiently long identified with the company to warrant the expectation of perfection in the part of Chee Kee, Aladdin's 4 He.r. fenditl(m of the "Alabama piece. Whatever Miss Ada Deaves does he does well. She is one of the best interpreters of the grotesque female character to be found. She will take the ecceniIJle of the Widow Bohea. a Chinese laundry woman of the extravaganza type. lte men are also Interesting. Henry Norman, whose painstaking and decidedly clever Impersonations in the previous pro- . I .. 1 . inis company have earned ropularlty of a permanent sort, will be " """"ajar, me magician, who allures Aladdin Into the mystic cave. John J. Burke is the low comedian of the company, with a great fund of wit, humor " un'Que drollery tf his own. Albert J"room, long a conspicuous member of Mr Henderson's company, will be seen as the Emperor, and John E. Cain was brought from California by Manager Henderson to play the role of the Emperor's viier. Other prominent members of the cast are Miss Irn Vomno .n known comic opera and burlesque actressJosle Sbalders. Edith Wynne, Mary Thorne, Bessie Pope, Nellie Lynch. Flora Jwans and Messrs. Turner and Murphy many of them familiar faces in Mr. Henderson s company. Much has been written concerning the beautiful scenery and the magnificence of the production in general. The advanca man declares that there has been no exaggeration, and that "Aladdin, Jr., is today the most gorgeous production in the country, both as to costumes and effects. JiAch scene is spoken of as a gem in itself, and there are manv of them. The inuslo is one of the delightful features. Among Anna Boyd's songs is the one which caused so much of a sensation in San Francisco "Her Golden Hair Was Hanging Down Her Back." Columns were devoted to this song in the newspapers of that , city and throughout the country. It is the most suggestive descriptive song yet brought out by an American. The American Extravaganza Company will arrive from Louisville at 1 o'clock this morning In their special train of nine cars, it takes almost ail of a day to get the scenery placed on the stage. Melodrama at the Park To-Dnv. Temptation of Money," the realistic, cenlc and mechanical production, is the attraction to be presented at the Park this afternoon and for the rest of the week. There are many features introduced in this scenic production that are novelties. The company carries every piece of scenery used in the production, and some of the stage sets are very heavy. One set consists of a draw-bridge that occupies the entire stage during the second act. On this bridge Is run an electric car, which carries passengers. The draw-bridge opens and a tug boat, twenty-five feet long, with steam whistle tows a full-rigged three-masted chooner, sixty feet long, across the stage. Another stage set consists of Sing Sing A KNIFE in the haud of a Surgeon gives you a reeling of horror and dread.

The managers carry four -carpenters who attend to nothing but scenic and mechanical effects used In this production. The piece has had a flattering reception in other cities. Amateur Mght at the Empire. There is nothing funnier than the attempt of an amateur - to go before the footlights and endeavor to do something. The. Empire management has concluded, commencing . to-morrow night, to devote Friday night each week to amateurs. Tomorrow night Edward Washington and Dick Swannagon, two well-known colored dancers, will make their first appearance, and it is said they have no equals in their line. Sam Clark will also appear in Impersonations. A large number of offers have been received, and from among them will be chosen the best. A company of specialty star will appear next week, composing what Is known as the Empire Specialty Company, under the personal direction of James E. Fennessy. Notes of the Sins. . The familiar comedy, "Jane." with Gus Frohman's company playing it, will be at the Grand next Monday, ' Tuesday and Wednesday. "Charley's Aunt" had a house full yesterday afternoon. It remains all week at the Grand with another matinee Saturday, some of the actors are so bad they're good,, but Ihe piece is funning in spite of the indifferent playing. The now celebrated Lexow committee investigation at New York and Its sensational disclosures are known to every one. There will naturally be much interest, therefore, lrt the first production here of "In the Tenderloin" at .English's Opera House the nrst half of next week, opening Monday night. Frederick Bryton is at the head of the .company, which Includes Tom Gould, the notorious ex-dive keeper, and George Appo, the reformed green goods man, who were prominent witnesses before the Lexow committee.

Cincinnati Officer Here to See Hoffman, the Diamond Thief. Yesterday detective Schmuck, of the Cincinnati force, was in the city to see Albert Hoffman, the thief who was arrested last Monday, and upon whose person were found diamonds valued at $300. It was thought that, perhaps, Hoffman is the man who is wanted at Cincinnati for several similar jobs. - Detective Schmuck talked to Hoffman at, the county jail, yesterday afternoon, and says he feels that Hoffman is wanted in Cincinnati Hoffman denies that he has ever committed any robberies outside of Indianapolis, and that he only did it here because he was out of work and needed money. He acknowledged that he has lived in Cincinnati, but says that while there he was employed by the Addison Electric Company and lived at No. 827 John street. When arrested, last Monday, he gave his address as No. 127 John street. Detective Schmuck says that the work done in Cincinnati was of the same style as that done by Hoffman here, all the thefts being committed in the day time, and the burglar being very systematic in his work. It is thought that Hoffman committed the thefts there while canvassing for a German story book. Schmuck says he thinks Hoffman is not the man's name and that when his real name Is discovered, he will prove to be a man wanted in several cities. Before detective Schmuck left Hoffman yesterday afternoon the latter told htm to come back to-day and maybe he would have something to tell him, and some new developments are expected. RKPUBLICAN EDITORS' MEETING. Reception at the Denlaon To-NlRht to He Follovred hy a Dnnquet.

The funeral of Mrs. :Iary A. Coburn, who died at Anderson, Tuesday, will occur on Thursday morning at 11:30 o'clock, and burial will be at Crown Hill. Mrs. Coburn was the wfe of the late Augustus Coburn. She was a member of the Second Presbyterian Church. The death of Mrs. Mary A. Coburn recalls a tragic incident connected with the death of her husband, Augustus Coburn. The Sunbeam, a large steamer on which he was a passenger, went down in Lake Superior with all on board, in a violent storm, in August, 1863. Only one man escaped death, a Canadian sailor, who clung to a small part of the pilot house. No bodies and no part of the boat but this was ever found. Mr. Coburn then lived at Ontonagon, Mich. He was formerly a resident of this place, a young man much respected. His widow, a few years after his death, removed to this place with her family and resided here some twenty years. More recently she has lived with her children, a portion of the time In Omaha, or Florida, or in Anderson, where her death occurred. She was a good neighbor, a kind friend, a tender mother and a worthy member of society. Her many friends and relatives here must feel deeply their loss. A Coal Oil Dealer Humeri. A coal oil dealer named Williams was seriously burned yesterday in a saloon at the corner of Wyoming and Delaware streets. Mr. Williams had entered the saloon and was standing near a stove warming his hands when his gloves, which were well saturated with oil, caught fire. He threw them off and then removed his coat, but remembering there were some valuable papers in his coat he attempted to secure them, and in doing so his shirt took fire and his hands and arms were severely burned. Dr. Beeler dressed his wounds. Assaulted Hi "Wife. Last night about 10 o'clock W. W.

TO BUY WATER WORKS

COIXCII, LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE TAKES FAVORABLE ACTIO. Will Reeommend that the Council Ask the Legislature for the Xeeessary Powfr to Issue Bonds. Messrs. Young, Itauh and Allen, of the Council legislative committee, met last night at the office of the City Clerk and discussed the proposition for the city to purchase the plant of the Indlanapoll3 Water Company. The result of the meeting will no doubt be a surprise to many, for It was decided that the Legislature should be asked to allow the city to issue the necessary bonds with which to make the purchase. All three members of the committee were of the opinion that the city should own its water works plant. The only question that arose was regarding the steps necessary to make the purchase possible. In the franchise which was granted the water company by the city there is a section which provides that the city can purchase the plant at any time. The method of fixing the valuation of the property is the provision for three appraisers, one chosen by the city, one by the company, and the third agreed upon by the company and the city. For several years past the advisability of the purchase has been generally agitated, but the meeting last night is the first decisive step having that object in view. Be it remembered that the action of the committee is only primary, as a report will have to be made to the Council, and the recommendations will have to be made to the Legislature by that body. Neither member of the committee expresses any doubt but that their report to the Council will be received with favor and the recommendation made to this session of the Legislature. Councilman Rauh presented to the committee an estimated statement of the value of the company's plant and of the sum necessary to the purchase. He estimated the value of the plant at $700,000 or $800,000, with a bonded indebtedness of about $1,000.000. The city, at prestnt, is very near its' constitutional limit of indebtedness, so it would be impossible to make the purchase under the present conditions. Councllmen Young and Allen raised the question, -would not the city have to assume the bonded indebtedness of a million of dollars, in buying the plant. Mr. iRauh thought that such would not be expected. He cited the purchase of the plant of the Indianapolis Cabinet Company, which was heavily mortgaged. The plant was sold at a forced sale, by order of the couit. The purchaser did not have to assume the indebtedness of the establishment, as the price paid was regarded as all the plant was worth. After talking this point over, the committee reached the opinion that the water company had floated these bonds of indebtedness for the express purpose of frightening the c.ty from trying to negotiate a purchase. Mr. Young enumerated a few of the dejails which would amount to a saving tthe city and the property owners, should the plant become public property. There are at present about 1,200 water' plugs in Uie city, upon which the city pays a tax upon each of $50 annually. If the city owned the plant, it would result in a saving of something like $60,000 a year. Under - the same conditions, the city would not have to pay for wate'- used for sprinkling and the sprinkling contract could be let at a much lower price. The city could also flush the imoroved streets, an operation which the present management objects to, except on the payment of a goodly sum.. Under th present rates charged on private contracts it is thought the city would pay off the purchase price and then run the works for the benefit of the residents of the city, making material reductions in the rates. All three councllmen thought it would be advantageous for the city to own the plant, and the next question raised was the power to issue the necessary bonds. In Its report to the Council the committee will recommend that the Legislature be asked to grant the city the power to issue bonds for the proposed purchase. It is to be clearly understood that the bonds are to be for no other purpose, and that the constitutional indebtedness i3 not to be increased beyond the limit for any other purpose. The amount of bonds will, of course, be determined by the price placed on the plant, should the project be carried out. The men who met last night say they will do all within their power to push the scheme and thereby bring Indianapolis into the ownership of its own water works system. THE "GRABBAGE MAX" AGAIX. Slayor's Cabinet Decided to Endeavor to Annul the Contract. Mayor Denny's cabinet met, last evening, listened to the reports of the several departments and discussed garbage. The report of the Board of Public Works was not ready for presentation, but the members said it would be completed by Friday. The garbage question was discussed by all the members and the common expression was, that the present contract, to which the Sullivan administration tied the city for a period of ten years is faulty and expensive, besides being a failure. From the report made by the health department it seems that the contractors who have the disposition of the iaiUge, are doing little to comply with thiir contract. The company is paid $10,900 annually for the destruction of all garbage ?nd night soil collected in the city. The night soil is being dumped at Sellar's farm, whlcn is the property of the city. The company is not burdened with the cost of collection, and the cost of dumping is very small. It also seems that very little garbage is being disposed of at the crematory, below Greenlawn Cemetery. It is estimated that not more than six loads of garbage are hauled there daily. This is caiofly due to the failure of the contract tn rrnvi1 frr ita r.niU.tu Since its defeat in the courts, private persons have attended to the collection and garbage is used by them for hogs, or hauled to some other point. The conclusion of the members of the cabinet was that the city is paying about $10,900 for nothing President Wildman, of the Board of Works, who called the matter to the attention of the cabinet, said he saw no reason why the city could not see to the work of dumping at Seilar s tarm at a great saving to the city. He saw no reason of paying a company $800 for doing this work, when it can be done for $100 by the city. It was decided to have the city attorney look over 'the contract and see if it cannot be annulled, for the reason that the contractors have not fulfilled their obligations which clearly states that all night soil shall be. burned. It seems that the company hay found it impossible to burn the night soil, as no furnaces have yet been invented which will do that work satisfactory. It was also thought that bv the erection of a city crematory at Sellar's farm, the many complaints of odots would cease, and the plan would be more successful than th present. BOARD OF SAFETY REPORT. Boaril Compliment Itself on Good Condition of It Departments. The Board of Public Safety submitted its annual report to Mayor Denny yesterday, embodying the reports of its several departments. The report is brief, to the point and neatly prepared. The commissioners say the merit system which is in use in the fire and police departments has proved highly satisfactory. During the past year the police department has had many perplexing things to contend with, the railroad strike and the liquor law violations being the most conspicuous. The result has been satisfactory to the' board. The strike was handled with less loss to property than in any other railroad center, the report says, and the liquor laws have been rigidly enforced. The report says the present police force is inadequate, but with the occasional mployinent of extra men the board thinks me present xorce wiu sumce for a time The efficiency of the force, tne report says) is the best it has ever been. A new rental station and two substations are recommended to meet the growing demands of the city. The. fire department is also favorably reported, the report saying it Is In the best condition for years, besides being one of the finest in the country. During the year the board put into service 8,900 feet of hose at an expense of $7,715. Some newapparatus is needed. Two new companies are to be established the coming year. The maris aud the hay market are reported

being self-sustaining ,: and in prosperous condition. A few repairs are recommended at each place and an assistant is asked for the hay market at a salary of $30 a month. The stat' sties of ther rsport .compiled by Richard Herrick, the board's , clerk, show the cost of the fire department' for the year to be $121,771.01; police department. $108,S54.47; market, $5,039.21; office expenses, $S3.53; total expenditures of the department, $328,628.22. Deducting from this the $15,991.19 received by the controller as fees from market stalls, leaves a net cost of maintenance of $212,635.49. . Inspected Police Telephone System. Mr. Connor, of the Board of Safety, and Super ntendent Powell teturned from Columbus, O., yesterday, literally filled with ideas of police telephone systems and fire department matters. Mr. Powell thinks the city needs a new police telephone system and the Columbus system he thinks is very good. It resembles the one put in by the Game-, well company and it costs about one-fifth as much. The apparatus at headquarters registers the time the officer reports. Mr. Conner was much taken, with the method employed at Columbus, of regulating supplies for the fire department. The supplies are given out from headquarters and each horse is expected to eat so much and no more. If the supplies are exhausted before the stipulated time, the custodian is held responsible. ' Scudder's Stable Condemned. The Board of Works, yesterday, condemned the stables of John Scudder, at No. 36 West Ohio street, which were recently damaged by fire. The Independent Turnvereln and the Evangelical Reformed Church, owners of adjoining property, petitioned for the condemnation. Mr. Scudder entered an objection on the ground that the repairing of the building would not exceed 5 per cent, of the value of the buildings. The building ordinance does not permit reDairs of frame buUdings. within the

fire limits, where the cost exceeds 10 per cent. The building inspector and the mem bers of the board inspected the building before signing the papers. Does He Work for Aothiiiaf Controller Trusler yesterday called atten tlon to the fact, that the county treasurer collects the taxes of West Indianapolis, Haughvllle, Brightwood, Irvington and all incorporated towns in the county, without receiving anv compensation. County Treas urer Holt says he receives something for collecting the town taxes, put he does not receive anything ror attending to the bus ness incidental to improvements, under the Barrett law. The lattur law gives the treas urer's office a ereat deal of additional work. and necessitates the employment of addi tional clerks. " ' : ' MORMON IjISPUXE. Suit Over Proper y1leineathed hy John P. Hedrlek In 1809. ST. LOUIS. Jan.' 2S.-The long-pending suit brought by the reorganized Church of Jesus Christ, of Latter Day, Saints, better known as the Mormon, Church, against the Church of Christ, at Independence, Mo., was called in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals to-day. It is an action instituted to recover possession of certain church property, claimed . by certain ad herents of the Utah ,or. Brigham Young school of Mormons. In 1S69 one John P, Hedrick and his wife deeded the property to the Church of Christ of Latter Day Saints for the use and benefit of the said Church of Christ for ever. The defendants deny that this Church of Christ of Latter Day Saints is the same Church of Christ as the one run by the saints in Utah, and investigation of this proposition leads to a long review of the history of s the church, going at least as far back as Nauvoo and the expulsion , of . the , Mormons. The defendants, who have occupied the church at independence for many years are known as lleunckites." Ihey insist that when Smith, in Illinois, introduced the doctrine of polygamy, baptism for the dead, etc., he introduced a schism in the cnurch and this departure from the original tenets of -the church was of such a nature as to constitute a heresy. The system introduced by Smith, Jr., is alleged to be foreign to that adqpted by the adherents of the church and founded by Smith, sr;. Their adherents, the defendants insist, have-' always- repudiated polygamy as a practice, to be abhorrently condemned and they have even held themselves antagonistic toirtae? Utah - heresy.' They deny the claim; of 'the plaintiffs to their property on doctrinal grounds and they assert that they can show clear title from Hedrick, who was a Mormon, so long ago as 1830, r years before young Smith's special revelation concerning polygamy. In the court below, the United States Circuit Court, at Kansas City, there was judgment for the claimants, whereupon the defendants appealed. PLATFOtfM OF MANUFACTURERS. Resolutions! Adopted as a llasts for a Xalional Organization. CINCINNATI, Jan.- 23. The national convention of manufacturers was more largely attended to-day, standing room being in demand in the large : auditorium. Many visitors were attracted-to hear President M. E. Ingalls and ex-Senator Warner Miller, whose addresses occupied most of the forenoon. The partial report of the committee on resolutions called out a protracted and animated discussion. During this discussion many additional resolutions were offered and referred. The following were adopted: "Resolved, That the National Association of Manufacturers adopts the following as the basis of. its organization: "To the largest possible extent our home market should be retained and supplied by our own producers, and our foreign relations should 'be extended In every direction and manner not inconsistent therewith. "The principle of reciprocity should be embodied in the national legislation in accordance with the requirements of equity, so that reciprocal trade between the United States and foreign countries may be developed. "Believing that ships sailing under the flag of the United States should carry our entire, commerce, and in view of the Injury thereto by subsidized foreign shipping, we declare in favor of a judicious system of subsidies in order to complete restoration and extension of our merchant marine. "The Nlcaraguan canal being essential to the commerce of the United States and of national importance, we favor its construction and operation under the control of the federal government. "Our natural and artificial waterways should be improved and extended by the federal government to full needs of commerce, connecting the great lakes with the rivers of the Mississippi valley and the Atlantic seaboard." The afternoon was spent, at a reception by the Queen City Club, with an elaborate luncheon, and in the evening the Symphony Chfb of the Chamber of Commerce gave the delegates a concert and entertainment. The committees, however, nave been at work all afternoon and to-night Their reports to-morrow will be followed by the election of "officers and the selection of permanent headquarters. . Lumber Dealer CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 23. -Over four hundred dealers are here attending the annual meeting of the Union Association of Lumber Dealers, which began this afternoon, and continues to-morrow, when the election of officers occurs. The delegates are frorrt Pennsylvania, Ohio, West , Virginia and Indiana, To-morrow night they leave on a lumber excursion inspection for the Southwest. In his annual address President Thomas said the insurance companies had raised their rates to from 6 to 12 per cent, on mills and from 2 to 6 per cent, on lumber, and recommended the organization of a mutual insurance company among themselves. This recommendation was referred to a committee to report to-morrow. It is causing more agitation than all other questions. ' Vet I on of Hay Dealers. CLEVELAND, Jan. 23. At the Hay Dealers' convention, this afternoon, a schedule of the various grade of hay in the market was reported by a special committee and adopted.' The schedule is expected to afford a means for at once determining the value of a sample of hay, each one of nearly a dozen different grades being carefully described as to the place where it was grown, its quality, etc. A schedule for straw was also adopted. An endeavor will be made to cause the two schedules to be adopted by the different commercial organizations of the country, which will be caked to appoint salaried hay inspectors. Another meeting will be held next year, but the time and place were not determined. , European Expositions have awarded their premiums . to only one American OhamDasuc. Cook's Extra. Dry JUavaruU.

MISS GING'S MURDER

ANOTHER STATEMEXT AXD COXFESSlOX BY ADR Y HAYWARD. All the Blame Placed on His Brother Harry, Who Is Xow on Trial for Committing; the Crime. MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 23. The crowd at the Hayward trial to-day was not so large as yesterday but a shivering mass of humanity waited" outside the big doors for an hour before admission was secured. rhe plan of defense is gradually becoming apparent. No one believes that an attempt will be made to prove Harry Hayward insane, but, instead, the opinion now prevails that the effort will be to prove Adry Hayward guilty of the very crime with which, in his confession, he has charged his brother. The defense, it is believed, will attempt to show that Blixt is insane and that while hia confessions are true statements of facts as to the way in which the crime was committed and incited, the man who engaged him to do the work was Adry and not Harry Hayward. Bllxfs behavior in the , jail now frantically fearful and again fearlessly confident will be used to show that the man is not well balanced mentally and to impeach him as a witness. During the examination of veniremen, today Attorney Erwin asked William Jay, a cooper, whether he had any opinion as the defendant's guilt or innocence. "Yes, I have," responded Jay, 'and I should say he was guuty." Mr. Erwin stood aghast, while the laugh went around, Hayward himself joining in the merriment. Jay was excused. The attorneys in the case last night held a long examination of Adry Hayward. The denfense made a demand on the prosecution to be allowed to take Adry s statement in full and the demand was acceded to. Adry made a much more complete statement than any yet made and went into details as to his brother's plot to murder Catherine Ging. The statement was so strong in detail and apparent truthfulness that attorneys for the denfense were staggered. John Day Smith, of counsel for the defense, could not conceal his amazement and chargrin. So crestfal len was his manner that Mr. Lrwin was comoelled to tell him to brace up. "Good heavens, Smith," said his colleague, "look up if you can't see a star." Adry seemed nervous while making his statement and apparently now realizes with a greater force than ever before that on his word hangs ihe fate of the younger brother. The man's face was pale as he began to speak of Harry s influence over him and the various ways in which that influence had been exercised. He went on to enumerate certain threats that had been made against his own safety by Harry and declared that he had been forced into an apparent complicity in the crime of murder, by actual fear of personal violence as well as by an influence of will that he could not define. Becoming more voluble as he proceeded, the informer told how Harry had approached him on the subject of the killing and how he had tried to shake his brother's determination without avail. With the utmost detail Adry told how he labored with Harry to give up the idea of murder, using at first such arguments as would have been likely to influence a man with an atom of humanity, and lastly appealing to his sense of fear. Adry pointed that escape from the results of such a crime would be almost impossible and that the perpetrators would certainly be hanged. . All this was without effect on the brother, who called Adry a cur and remarked that he had-no sand at all. Then came the story of Adry's visit to Elder Stewart and his communication to that gentleman of the farts in the case. The Elder's amusement at his story was touched on and his own misery that he had no one in whom he dared confide the awful secret on his mind. Adry admitted that he had intended at first, after the murder was committed to protect his brother at anv cost, but the horror of the affa r had made such an impression on his mind tnat when confronted with Elder Stewart and informed that the conspirators were all under arrest, ne did not believe there was any purpose to be served by further silence. All through the re-statement of his connection with the case Adry- kept his eyes fixed on Mr. Nye, the county attorney and appeared to be anxious that not a single detail of the fearful story might escape his memory. At times his face was flushed like that of a man in high fever; again it was ashen colored to the very Hps. More than n hour elapsed before the story was done. All through it Attorney Erwin sat silently. At the close of the day two additional jurors had been secured making five in all. Eighty-three talesmen have ireen examined. OVERAWED BY MILITIA. (Concluded from First Page.) man was so seriously injured that the chances of his recovery are but slight. Kearney was at work on the roof at the time, and was attracted to the edge by the excitement of the crowd below in consequence of the passage of the first car through Hicks street. The feeling in the neighborhood is very hard against the railroad companies. The police and military offlcers found Kearney on the roof, lying unconscious in a large pool of blood. A doctor who made an examination said the wound was fatal. In a statement to the coroner Kearney said: "I was at work on the roof of the house, corner Hicks street and Harrison avenue, with a man named Terrance O'Neil. I was on the cornice and saw the soldiers on Hicks street below me. Some one of them yelled at me, 'Get back. I started to go back; in fact, I started to run back, and heard gunshots, and I was hit in the hip. I had not thrown anything from the roof at the soldiers, nor did O'Neil, who was working in the middle of the roof. We had 'been at work on this roof for Michael Healy since morning." - John Hagman, aged fifteen, has been arrested for throwing stones at a motorman on the Fifth-avenue line. Charles Gelfid, twenty-seven years old. Is locked up for having assaulted the conductor on a Sum-ner-avenue car. At 7 o'clock to-night Corporal Boyle, of Company H, Seventh Regiment, while on duty at the Knickerbocker-avenue station of the Union-avenue elevated road, told a crowd of men on the steps to move on. They refused. Doyle struck one man on the shoulder with his clubbed mpsket. smashing the musket and knocking the man down. He also jabbed his bayonet into another man deep enough to draw blood. Both men were taken away by their friends. Quietness prevailed at RIdgewood at 1 o'clock this evening. The cars had at that time stopped running. The militia was then withdrawn from the streets in the immediate vicinity of the stables,, having been relieved by a detachment of police. The guards will endeavor to sleep in the housed cars. The majority of tfie new men are sleeping in the car sheds to-night. Some of them probably would be glad to quit, but prefer to remain rather than run the gauntlet in getting away. G. A. riagen. ot itocnester, js. v., who came here to act as conductor on the Myrtle-avenue line, started In to-day. While housing his car to-night, and standing behind it to pull down the pole, another oar coming behind ran him down, breaking his ankle and smashing the lights on the car. ANNOYED SLEEPING SOLDIERS. Superintendent Harris, of the Suburban Railroad, at Sumner avenue and Bergen streets, was arrested by Lieutenants Clayton and McLeod, of Company F, Seventyfirst regiment, this afternoon, for persisting in moving cars in which the members of the regiment were sleeping. The soldiers say that Mr. Harris for the last two days has amused himself by ordering the moving of the cars in which they have been sleeping when off duty, thereby compelling them to change to another car in the depot. He was told to change his tactics, but at about 2:30 o'clock he ordered a lot of the men to leave one of the cars. When they refused he turned on the power and tried to move it out of the depot. He was then arrested and taken before the Colonel. About 7 o'clock this evening men of the Seventy-first regiment had a breeze with a mob of about one hundred and fifty men who had smashed the windows of the cars of the Ralph avenue line at Summer street. Colonel Green, of the Seventy-first, hearing tne rumpus, teiepnonea tr captain Heck, who was stationed near the disturbance. and the latter, with twenty men, hurried to the spot and jabbed and butted the crowd away, so that the cars resumed their way, accompanied by the troops. On the return trip a crowd was at the Place of the previous trouble, but another detach ment, sent by Colonel Green from Bersren avenue, turned in with Captain Heck's men and cleared the way and the cars returned to tneir stables. At Rlderewood at S o'clock this evening William WandlJng. P. J. Mackay,. J. Martin and Frederick Krieer. sneclal ivolicemen. walked into the Bushwick avenue company's office, and. surrendering their badges, refused to work any longer.

cars as the charters demand. The Mayor would make no statement as. . to tjie progress of his deliberation. President Lewis to-night said that he regarded the situation as very bright at present. They had operated about two hundred cars on all their lines and they expected to add about one hundred more cars to-morrow. It was only a question of time before the company had their usual number running. He thought now that arbitration was out of the question. It was too late in the day to submit the dispute to a single person or a committee for arbitration. At the Fifty-second-street power house, the emergency men are not out. They refuse 'to go out and are in readiness to repair anv damage to the lines. A committee of strikers interviewed the emergency men this afternoon, but they declined to join the strikers. The line men held a meeting today and decided to go out on strike tomorrow morning. The men who came to Brooklyn at the company's expense and are Induced by the strikers not to go to work are lionized. They are fed and filled with whisky, and when they are full they join the ranks of the mob and are really the most boisterous of the disturbers. Some, when they find out the true condition of affairs here, for the companies' recruiting sergeants are not as honest and explicit in.', their statements as thev might be sometimes, go to the offices of the railroad companies and demand their expenses back to the cities whence they came, and this is never denied them. Some of the men have come on here from places as far distant as Buffalo. Chicago and Cincinnati. WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT. Wlir the Men Arc on Stride Overwork anil Underpay. NEW YORK, Jan. 23. The Tribune says: Between four thousand and Ave thousand men, who, until Jan. 14, worked as motormen, conductors, linemen, ? etc., for the various branches of the Brooklyn electric railway systems, are voluntarily out of employment, the citizens of Brooklyn have been put to great inconvenience, the police department of that city failed to straighten out matters, and now the whole National Guard of New York city and Brooklyn is under arms for. the first time since 1877, the streets of Brooklyn are alive with troops, riot and disorder are threatened, and still the question i3 asked: "What is it all about?" . . . The dissatisfaction on the part of the men employed by the Brooklyn surface railroads is of long standing, but it became more general since the introduction of the electric system. Since then the motormen and conductors allege that the work has become so hard, and the mental and physical strain so great that many of their number have become physically incapacitated. The cars are much larger than those formerly in use, the men have more passengers to handle, the speed at which they are run is much greater than it was by the old system, anu the responsibility greater, and although the expense of operating the lines has been reduced and the business of the companies vastly increased, the men say that no increase in wages has been allowed to them. In short, they claim that they are underpaid and overworked. For three years the men have asked for an increase of pay or for a reduction of hours, but up to the time when the executive board of District Assembly No. 75, K. of L., ordered a general tleup, the men had received only promises, and with a view to gaining something more tangible the strike was ordered. The conductors and motormen may be divided into two groups, "regulars" and "trippers," and both are dissatisfied. The Tegular" men say that In order to maite as many trips as the companies require they must run their cars faster than the Jaw allows, and they ask that their pay be increased from $3 to $2.25 for ten hours' work, the work to be done within twelve hours. The "trippers" say that because of the bad management of the roads they are compelled to wait for hours for a trip, and in order to make a full day's pay they must be at the dbll of the starters for many additional hours. If the same rules and regulations as to pay and hours . as given the Third-tvenu and Broadway lines of this city were adopted, the men say they would be perfectly satisfied. As it is, they want the force of "trippers" reduced to one-third the whole force, and more men put on regular pay. While it is certain that in this demand the men have the sympathy of a great majority of the citizens of Brooklyn, who agree with them on the subject of overwork and underpay, it is equally certain that every citizen is willing to use every effort to support and enforce law and order, and approves of a summary stamping out of violence or mob rule. More Conductor titan Motormen. . CINCINNATI, Jan. 23. The street rail way companies of Brooklyn are after more Cincinnati street-railway men. To-day Frank J. Watson and D. L. Loomls, repre senting the Brooklyn Street-railway Company, arrived and took rooms at the Hotel Oxford. They came here to secure motormen for the Brooklyn company, and Insert ed an advertisement in the papers. Watson said: "We want all the motormen of experience we can get, but we are not after conductors. We can get all of them we want in Brooklyn." They And few motormen available, but many conductors. Spies Sent from Pi(tlnrir. PITTSBURG. Jan. 23.

Among the crowd, of fifty men who left last night to take the places of strikers were three members of the union who went as spies to keep the Brooklyn labor officials posted as to the progress the railway companies are making. Refused to Arbitrate. ' BROOKLYN, Jan. 23. The executive board of District Assembly 75, K. of L., waited on President Norton to-day with an offer to arbitrate. Mr. Norton refused point blank. The executive committer ot District Assembly 75 has issued the following manifesto: "To Whom it May Concern Our representative, agreeable to instructions, called on Benjamin Norton, esq., president of the Atlantic-avenue Railroad Company, and! presented or offered to accept Mr. William J. Richardson, a director in the Atlanticavenue Railroad Company, and secretarytreasurer of the American and New York State Street-railroad Union, of twentyseven years' experience in railroadi affairs, as a. person to whom we would unconditionally submit our grievances for adjustment, in accordance with the announced resolution, but that Mr Norton declined to treat with our. representatives in any way." .

The Rlck Case Resolution. WASHINGTON. Jan. 23. The report on the resolution adopted by the judiciary committee on the charges against Judge Ricks will be made to the House by Representative Harrison, of Alabama, this week. It will be a brief statement, but will refer in terms of strong condemnation to the laxity of laws regulating the division of fees by the clerks of United States courts, which made possible the trouble in Ohio. The minority report, which Mr. Bailey will make, will be practically the report he had drawn on his resolution of Impeachment. Ordinarily the committee would not be obliged to make a report to the House on a matter which has ended in committee and required no action, but in this case it is acting under . a resolution adopted by the House directing it to investigate the charges and make report on them. Cargo of Insects. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23. The British ship Mill Wall, Bremmer, captain, arrive! in port a short time ago from Rangood, Burmah, with a cargo supposed to be composed exclusively of rice. When the hatches were removed, however, a vast swarm of insects flew out and, on examination, the hold was found to be literally alive with them. So much so, in fact, that it was an impossibility for the sailors to descend for fear of suffocation. Professor Davidson, of the United States Geodetic and Coast Survey, has obtained specimens of the insect and recognizes among them two species of the common American weavlL But there are several others unknown to him and which he has sent to the university at Birkley. They may turn out to be a new pest. Suits Against Farmer. TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 23. Subpoenas have been issued for over one thousand fwttlera on lands purchased from the Union Paciflo Railroad in Dickinson, Ellsworth and Saline counties. They are asked to answer a suit brought by the government to oust t'hem from the lands, which were granted to the Union Pacific by an act of Congress and afterward sold to settlers. The government claims that the grant was Invalid, and that the lands should revert to the government and be opened to settlement under the homestead law. If this claim hold the farmers have scant remedy, as the Union Pacific is in the hands of receivers. They strolled along the broad parade, John Jones and pretty Miss Maria.
