FIGHT AFTER DYNAMITE
N. Y. HOSPITAL IN DANGER.
Police Prevent Rioting Strikers from
Using Explosive.
The timely action of two Tenderloin policemen
prevented the theft of twenty-five pounds of dyna
mite yesterday morning in a fight In 15th-st. be
tween strikers and non-union men. the explosion of
which would have wrecked the New- York Hospital.
Tho workmen on the new twenty story Btuyresant
Building, at l&th-st. and 6th-avo.. have bean on
strike for four days, their places being taken by
forty-five non-union men. Collisions between the
two parties have been frequent. There was a fight
Thursday night, and yesterday morning when the
men went to work it was found that the door of
the dynamite shed, which Is bulk up against tha
wall of the New-York Hospital, had bean tampered
with.
Last night when the men ceased work they were
attacked by the strikers. The men fought all over
the street, until Patrolman Rlordan tried to quell
the riot single- handed. Ha was rapidly getting tha
worst of it when Mounted' Patrolman O'Keefe drove
his horse luto the thick of the fight and began
laying about with his nightstick. He was subdu
ing the mob when two of the strikers broke away
and ran into the. excavation to the dynamite shed,
where a watchman named Joseph F. Tracy was
on guard. Tracy picked up a piokaoc and fought
them off, but they knocked him down with simi
lar weapons and entered the shed.
The dynamite was already capped and ready for
us*, but as they were about to seize several sticks
the. two patrolmen seized them. They fought their
way loose and back into the crowd, just as the re
seivec from the Tenderloin station arrived. The
crowd dispersed, the police chasing two of them to
14th-st. and 6th-ave., where they were captured.
At Uie station house the prisoners said they were
Joseph Mlchell and Prank Chamari. Neither the
two patrolmea nor the watchmen could Identify
them as the men who had tried to steal tho dyna
mite, and they were locked up, charged with dis
orderly conduct. Two patrolmen have been detailed
to guard the dynamite.
The lockout of rockmen and excavators Is now
likely to proJong the strike indefinitely. To even
tip things the walking delegates of the union or
dered about thirty-five hundred more men on strike
yesterday on uptown contracts. Most of those were
excavations for apartment houees.
A fight between non-union men and strikers, the
flrst of the kind since the trouble began, took place
yesterday morning in East HOth-st. About fifty
men were working In excavations when a crowd of
strikers and sympathizers appeared and rained
brickbats on the workers. The latter fought back,
but were outnumbered, and finally made their es
cape out of tho cellar. A squad of polios
rived in time to disperse the crowd.
Work went on yesterday at the RothsclUld Build
ing, 16th-st. and 6th-ave., under police protection.
Strike pickets succeeded In getting non-union en
gineers to quit twice. The 1,800 men who struck on
the contracts of Patrick Norton returned to work
yeeterda* 1 - under an agreement which does not
involve recognition of the union.
It was learned that the fight will now be mainly
directed against the rock drillers and engineers,
who are well organized and who the employers
now say are responsible for the extensive organiza
tion of the excavators. The greater number of
contracts Involve blasting operations, and in sucn
cases the excavators cannot work If the drillers
and engineers are working. They made use of
this, the employers say, to force the excavators
into organizing.
BIONDIS SUIT BEGINS.
Failure to Exhibit "Saturnalia"
Group the Cause.
The suit of Ernest Biondi against the Metropol
itan Museum of Art, which began yesterday in the
Supremo Court, was suddenly stopped In the middle
of the afternoon session by Justice Leventrltt or
dering court adjourned on account of the death of
Justice Van Brunt. Mr. Biondi was not present.
but his brother, Constantine. sat near his counsel,
Gilbert Ray Hawes. Ellhu Root appeared for
the Metropolitan Museum.
Mr. Hawes said the action was brought a#ainst
tho Museum, but had originally been brought
against thnt Institution and all its officials as an
action at law to recover $300,000 damages. This
complaint has been amended, and a suit In equity
brought. Mr. Biondl's contract with the Museum
bound the institution to exhibit his "Saturnalia"
group in the new east wing for one year, at the
end of which It was to.be returned to the sculptor.
Its value having been increased by publicity. The
museum gave bond for H8.200 for Its return, but
failed to exhibit it.
"BJven If It were one of the most loathsoma and
disgusting works ever exhibited, the Museum had
r.o right to refuse to carry out its contract," said
Mr. Hawes.
Tho first witness was Constantine Biondi, who
identified certain correspondence with the late Gen
eral di Cesnola relative to the group.
Mr. Hawes read a letter written by Paul Hallo.
who acted as secretary to General dl Cesnola, say-
Ing that General dl Ceanola was the only one to
piake any opposition to tho resolution to remove
the group, and that "this work of art raised a tre
mendous opposition, and was declared Immoral
Whitelaw Reid. th« American Ambassador to
Gr«at Britain, had been subpoenaed, but ho was
excused.
After recess Dr. Luigl J. Rovers! was giving; his
teetlmonr when he was Interrupted by tha ad
journment.

two years old, of No. 141 RJchaxdson-st., WIN
liamsburg. died yesterday In St. Catharine's Hoh
pltal from a broken neck, after having been In
that institution for ten months. Death was a
welcome relief to him, as he had expressed a
desire to die ever since the doctors told him. In
the event of bis recovery, that he would never be
able to attend to his business and would be a
cripple for life.
CTBrien continually lay on bags of water. H"»
was completely paralyzed In his lower extremi
ties. At times he felt that he was going to re
cover, while at other times his condition was
such as to make him feel depressed. Lately the
doctors In the hospital held out no encourage
ment for the man, and it made him so de
spondent that he began to wish for death.

Ireland's work, containing. In some thirty vol

Bettceen Brothers.
Troy, N. T., May 28.— Judgment filed In the
County Clerk's office to-day Indicates the close
of litigation between I. Townsend Burden and
James A. Burden, both of whom are well known
here and in New-York City, and who. together
with their sona, own all except two shares of
the stock of the Burden Iron Works.
Lawsuits brought by I. Townsend Burden
against his brother and the other trustees of
the company have en§raged the attention of the
courts for twenty-five years, and have been de
cided in favor of James A. Burden.
The cuso now ended involved James A. Bur
den's claims as an inventor of Improvements in
horseshoe machines and the payment to him of
a royalty for the use of his patented devices,
and the trial court held in his favor. A stilt
in the federal court relative to the same mat
tor was recently withdrawn by I. Townaend
Burden. The differences have been settled to
the mutual satisfaction of all the parties.
Henry Burden, the father of the Burden
brothers, and founder of the works, was the
inventor of tho first horseshoe machine ever
constructed, and of other machines now in com
mon use.
LOCKS WIFE IN CLOSET.
Binds Her, Too, to Make Her Obey
— Is Held in Court.
Asbury Park, N. J., May 26.— "A man has a
perfect right to punish his wife if sh« don't
Obey him," said William T. Letts In Justice
Ferris' court this morning. "When Minnie re
fused to do as I told her I tied her hands and
feet and locked her in a closet."
Letts was a prisoner in the court. Last Mon
day he mad* 1 his wife a prisoner at their home
in Clark-ave., Ocean Grove, because of some
real or fancied disobedience. Mrs. Letts was
terribly frightened, but after a long period of
silence she gained courage enough to chew vig
orously at the rords that bound her wrists. In
the close closet It seemed an age, she said later,
before the cords dropped from her hands. She
easily loosened the cords from her feet. Freed
at last from her bonds, she hesitated to break
open the closet door, because Letts, she said,
had threatened to kill her if she made an out
cry. Convinced finally that he was cot In tha
room, ehe burst open tho door and found every
thing quiet in the house.
Mrs. Letts was afraid to pro before a Justice
that day, fearing her husband would carry out
his threat to kill her. On Wednesday, however,
■he Fwme out a warrant. In court Letts said it
would be a sorry Any for his wife if she sent
him to Freehold. Mrs. Letts says her husband
sleeps with a razor under hie pillow, and has
frequently whipped and abused her.
"A hueband has no right in this country to
vhip his wife," paid Justice Ferris to-day.
"1 think he has," Letts said defiantly.
"Letts," Judge Ferris said sternly, "I will
hold you in $300 bail to keep the peace."
Bail was furnished late this afternoon. Letts
has two little girls and a boy seven years old
His wife formerly was a resident of Plttsburg.

SIIEEHAN QUITS HEARST.
N. Y. City Democracy May Support
Mayor McClellan.
The New- York City Democracy, better known as
the Sheehan Democracy, which supported Mr. Low
In 190 a and Mayor McClellan two years ago. will
support Mr. McClellan unless tho Republicans
nominate a Democrat on a fusion ticket. The
Sheehan men are. ready to make an alliance with
tho Republicans. Th*»y have broken with William
R. Hearst and the Municipal Ownership party, of
which Mr. Hearst is supposed to be the leader.
The decision to break away from Hearst was
reached on Thursday night of last week, at a
stormy meeting of the executive committee of the
organization at tho Hoffman House. The secret
was co well kept that nothing was heard of it
until last night.
The cause of the rupture wa« the alleged discov
ery by the Bheehan men that Hearst was getting
some of the district leaders away from Sheehan and
laying plans to capture tho organliatlon. Five of
the district leaders of the Sheehan organisation,
Dr. John H. Byrno ond John T. Cronin among
others, stood ready to go over to Hearst, It Is sald.
The five district leaders were taken to task In
executive committee meeting, and on their failure
to give an explanation of their action, It was de
cided to compel thoir resignations. This will take
place at the meeting of the executive committee
noxt week. One of Mr. Sheehan'3 lieutenants, hi
telling of tha meeting last night, said:
Mr. Sheehan toKl his lieutenants that ho had re
ceived a call from the official representative of
State Chairman Odell and William Halpln. of th«
Coiinty Committee, ami was informed that the Re
publicans would support a thoroughly respectable
anti-Tammajiy Democrat. Mr. Sheehan told his
friends that the sentiment of the organization.
seemed to be that unless tho Republlcins nomi
nated a Democrat they -would support Mayor Mo-
Clellan and the Tammany ticket. Some of the
Hearat men In the organization asked permission
to go and ask Mr. Hear3t for a campaign sub
scription, as an evidence of his good faith in the
anti-Tammany movement. There was a storm of
protest against thts, and Mr. Sheehan said that
any district leader who did that would have to
resign. The Sheehan men are through with th*
Citizens Union, and unless they tlf up with the
Republlccns they will support McClellan.

NOTES OF THE STAGE.
Sam Bernard Chopped Out of His Dressing
"Creation" To-night.
When "Mrs. Battle's Bath- was shown not long
ago at the Madison Square Theatre sorao persona
objected that It was rather ridiculous to suppose
that two persons could be imprisoned in a bath
room by the mero machinations of an ordinary
door lock. Yet that happened to Sam Bernard laat
night at the Herald Square Theatre, and happened
at an unfortunate time, when he was due to make
a quick change and get back on the stags. He
could not fathom the sudden Intricacies which his
spring lock developed, and he pounded for help
As th« lock, of course, was on tha inside of the
door, the orchestra lfa<Vr had to play over -\
chorus four times us loudly as he could while two
btage carpenters chopped the star out. He waa
about five minutes late lor his cue.
"Creation," which was a feature at the St. Lout*
fair, will be opened to-night at Dreamland. Coney
Island. "Creatlou" ls a spectacular representation
of the story of Genesis, from the birth of light to

In August, both with the plays lost seen there.
The Lyceum will begin a late summer seanon with
'•Mrs Lefftngwell's Boots." and "It Happened In

CALLS IT CONFISCATION.
Ex-Judge Olcott 'Attacks 'Ambler
Bill— Mr. Bennet Defends It.
[BT TELEGRAPH TO THE TSIBUSB. 1
Albany. May 26.— Senator Ambler's bill, mak
ing effective at once the provisions of the Raines
bill which requires that hotels must comply
with the building, health and flre laws of the
city before liquor tax certificates are Issued,
was vigorously attacked before Governor Hlg
glns to-day by ex-Judge W. M. K. Olcott and
J P. Smith, editor of "The Wine and Spirit
Gazette," representing the liquor Interests of
New-York.
"The charges made against the so-called
Baines hotels," Mr. Smith said, "apply with
greater force to some of our first class hotels.
This bill provides for the seizure of property
without due process of law. It opens the door
to blackmail, and we in New- York have had ex
perience with blackmail."
Mr. Olcott's objection to the bill was based on
the declaration that it was unconstitutlonaL
"Without notice or without permitting de
fence." he said, "the excise officials may revoke
a license and tear down partitions In places
against which some irresponsible person has
made complaint. You might Just aa well say
the officials have the right to enter my home
and tear down the wall behind my bed. Ihls
bill is confiscation In its most odious form."
Congressman Bennet replied to the criticisms
made by the opponents of the bill.
"Before June 30," he said. "25.000 young
women will arrive here as immigrants, ignorant
of our language. They will be met outside of
the barge office by runners and taken to these
places of vice. That is the reason for asking
that this bill should be signed. We want to
wipe out these illegal hotels. Liquor differs
from other commodities. There is no inherent
right to sell liquor. It ls an outlaw business and
only exists by sufferance. The United States
Supreme Court has so held."
Governor Hlgglns said to-night that there
would be no hearfitf on the mortgage tax bill.
Edward Van Ingen. representing the allied real
estate Interests, the Governor said, had Informed
him that the time remaining was too short In
which to arrange for such a hearing.
