Jack McMnmis, tlio btirclar. 1b locked up In
Hal mom! streot jail, In Ilrooklyn. nntl until
last nlcht tlio pollco were lenornnt of tho fact.
McMantis's plotiiro appeared In Tub 8uh a
few weeks no. nftor lio had dropped happy-go-lucky
from Sims Hlnu prison through a
braco of Insane nTylumB Into tlio streots of
llrookhn. without servlnc out his term of im
prisonment. A week neolaet nlel't McManuswaanrrostod
byPollcomnn Ilassolbrook of tho Twontloth
precinct. Numerous complaints had toon
mado to tlio pollco, tho complainants being I
WIHIamsburch jewollors. who had boon floeoed
by an oily tonsucd. woll-dressed strnnifor.
W. K. Fltt of 1.080 Broadway told Ilassolbrook
Hint ho had beouvlsltod on April VI by the
Btrancor. who had stolon two cold watches
from a tray.
ntt cavo n mlnuta description of his visitor
to Ilassolbrook. and tho lattor sot out to cap
turo tho thief, lio Raw a man who un9werod
tho description, and followed htm. Tho man
enlorod Frodorlok fluofTs jowolry store 009
liroudway. Ilassolbrook watched him from
t he street, and saw him oxntnlno a number of
watchos without making a purchase.
' Tho stronger then W9nt to Charles Q. Web
ber's storo at 1.087 Broadway, whero ho again
oxamlnod somo jowolry. Then h6 vlsltod the
jewelry store of PotorFrlodileh at 1,131 Broad
way. Ilassolbrook, who hud boon shadow
Ini: him all tho time, arrosted him as
ho was leaving Frtodrloh's place, and
turned out of Broadway into Do Katb
nvenuo with hts prisoner. When they
were near Bushwfck avonuo the prisoner
showod ileht. but was subdued and taken to
I ho Collar street potJco station. Soreeant Col
lins, who was at tho desk nt Crst, was not In
clined to hold tho man. but when ho Vras
,, searched his pockets wore ftllod with jewelry.
Thoro wore scoros of rings and wutches, to
cethcrwith cold cuff buttons and scarfpins.
Tho prlsonor said ho was John Million, and
that ho had just arrfved from Philadelphia,
whero ho was encaged in the jewelry business.
Jeweller Fltt identified tho prisoner as tho
man who had robbed lilm. He also identified
two of tho watcho9 as Ids proporty. Jewellor
Adolph of III8 Uraham nvonuo was positive
that the prisoner was tho man who had stolen
a trnyf ul of watches from his ptac.
Tho prlsonor wns neatly dressnd. wore cold
rlmmod eyoclasses. and carried a cane. He
called the attention of Sarceant Collins to his
neat attire snyine:
.' I don't look like a thief, do I ?'
"So." said tho Sergeant, "but (I'll hold you
until morning, anyhow."
On tho following dny a score of complain
ants appeared in the Gates Avenue Police
Court prepared to testify against tho man cap
tured by Ofllcer Ilassolbrook. Joweller Iaaao
DcUteiu of 8.' 15 Broadway said that his
place bad boon isited twice by the prisoner.
J owollor Dav Id Dcksteln of !0 Broadway told a
similar story. However, they were not nskod
to testify, tho prisoner waiving his right to
Hxaminatlon, preferrlngto go beioro the Grand
liny. In the mean time, the police had been
trylneto find out something about the fellow's
past rocord. All they knew nbout him was
that ho was " John Mullen of Philadelphia."
Lust night, through the courtesy of Warden
Doyle of ltnyraond street jail, the writer was
enabled to interview the mysterious prisoner,
und ho immediately identified him as Jack
McMnnus. lio wns found In cell 20 on gal
lery D. and nppeared to be greatly surprised
when ho was recognized.
" I suppose the jig is up now. he said. I
kept under covei. hoping to got out of this
xorupe. but now that I am known I'll make a
light tor liberty. They can't convict me this
Tinio. for they haven't sufficient evi
dence. All thev can say Is that I had
a lot of jewelry and pawn tickets in
my possession when I was taken in.
I'll co boforo tho Grand Jury 1 suppose in a
day or two. and then I'll have a lawyer to de
fend me. I admit that I'm the old-time Jack
Alcfllanus. but I deny these jobs they put on
juy shoulders now."
"Where did you get the jowelry? ' asked the
reporter.
Iioucht It," replied McManus. " Do you
know." ho continued. " I am now a salesman
for a Philadelphia jowolry house? It seems.
though, that I'm blamed for everything. Do
you remember several years ago when
a fellow scooped a tray of gold rings
over in Now York from Bon Spark's
jowolry store on Hixth avenue V Woll. I
was blamed for that, but I had nothing at all
to do with the job. The fellow who did it was
an oldjpal of mine. Ho and I worked together
down East The last time I saw him was
after doing that funny job with the buggy
jeweller, who let my nal take me away with
two pocltotB full of watches."
" I don't romember that case." remarked tho
reporter.
" Well, you see. I and my pal got on to tho
schome. Ho got a detective's shield made,
and then we were ready for business. It
wasn't a now racket, either. I wont into the
jewelry store, and ho waitod outside the door.
When everything nbout was quiet, I walkod
right in una nsked to see somogold rings. The
.jeweller brought out a big truy of them. Then
1 Inquired for an Klein watch. Another tray
was produced. I pocketod a dozen wutches
und a handful of rings, und tho jewellor cov
ered mo with a pistol, shoutod ' pollco,' and ran
around from behind tho countor. My pal
rushed into tho store, and a crowd gathered
outside. Ho sbowod his shield, and locked
the door so the crowd couldn't get
in. Then ho placed me undor i arrost.
crabbed mo roughly by tho arm
and told tho jewellor to hurry to tho police
station and make a oomplalnt- The jeweller
said ho would follow us. My pal opened thn
door and luccod me off toward the station
hauso. A big crowd followed and ho had to
tnko mo on n car. After rldlnc two
blocks we jnmpod off and took another
car. Thon we got out of sight. The
jeweller, liko a bloody chump, went
to the station houso to find the defective who
had arrosted me. I tell you It was tho funniest
gag evor worked. I divldod the swac with my
purtnor, for I had carried the watohos and
rincs away with mo. Don't you think that was
funnyV"
"It wasn't so funny for tho joweller," re
marked tho reportor,
"No. I cuess not," replied MoManus. "But,"
he continued, "It was funny for mo. Just as
funnvasbolne turned out of Bine Sing into
thostroetsof Brooklyn without rocelving any
formal discharge."
On March l'J last Tins Bus published Mc-

It Was aa 84 aa m Play to Her, aad Ske
TPl at Ready Critic.
Nestled In a oornor of the Court ot Special
Sessions yesterday morning, with her head
barely vlslblo over the tops ot the hard, yellow
benches, was n pretty llttlo girl with big blue
eyes and brown curly hair that tumbled reck
lessly around hor face and throat. Hhndlnchor
face wan n hat burdoned with roses and laces.
In her hand slio clutched an onormous bunch
of roses. She woro a tan-colored melton coat,
a blue bedtord cord dross, with stockings,
gloves, and gaiters to mntch, nnd patent
lonthor shoes. When Court Crlor O'Connor
openod tho session sho rose on tip toes,
opened wldo hor big eyes, and listened In
amazement Whon the proscribed recital was
ended sho turned to Agent Stocking of tho
children's society nnd with a sigh ot pleasure,
said:
TTl 3 l
MABOUBMTK FKROUSON.
' "Isn't It just lovely?"
As policeman after policeman, resplendent
In now summer uniforms, fllod up to the wit
ness box she leaned forward with parted lips
and listening ears, drinking In every word
that was spokon. She stnrod at Justice Smith
tor a long timo. then said :
"Poor, homely man. I wonder If ho never
cries at night when he thinks of the poor
people ho scolds."
Tho little girl was Mnrguorlto Ferguson,
know on tho slngo as Ln Hello M trie, and the
star In tho play, "Mccarty's Mlshans." Tho
play was performed at Jacobs' Third Avenue
Thoatre last week, and Marguerite, danced
like Lolo Fuller, sang llko Lillian Itussell, and
gave an exhibition an a contortionist nnd
gymnast besides. On Friday evening Agent
Stocking happened Into tho thoatro and saw
Marguerite. Ho learned that she was notet
10 years old. and he nrrested hor father. Wil
liam Ferguson, tho proprietor of tho piny, and
formerly the partnor of Muck, under the firm
name of Ferguson k Mack. Justice Taintor
held htm IntSOO bail for Spocinl Sessions and
fmt Marguerito in the earo of tho society until
ler father's caso was disposed of.
When Marguerito met tho leporter sho
tossed her curls and wild: "I'm Marguerito
Ferguson, who's you ?"
Before her question could be answered
Counsellor Finigan diverted her nttentlon by
making an exceptionally long motion in on
unusually stontorious voice.
"My, how his volco must hurt," she snld.
"He reminds mo of papa. You know ray papa I
F.very ono does. Ho plays poor old MeCartu. I
live with him at liR) Last Eichty-fourth street
I have lived with him ever since I can rornom
bor. "How long have you been on the stage ?"
Ventured the ronorter.
"Aces." was the reply. "Von needn't tauch.
for I have. Why, I'm 15 years old.
" The first time I ever jilayed wus with Miss
Lillian Russell. It was elovea years ago. ln
the Jersey City Academy of Music. Mr. Tony
Pastor wrote the piece. Miss Lillian wasn't ns
fat then as she is now, but she was every bit
as lovely. After I left her I played somotimos,
and the rest of the time I iubt grow. I studied,
though. and at last papa lot mo play in "Mo-Carts-."
" Do you like to dance ?"
"U-u-ml I love It. Whon papa takes me to
the theatre and I hear the music nnd see Miss
Fuller move so easily I feol as though I was
ln Heaven. But I like to hear music I could
sit all tho time and listen to Miss Itussell. I'vo
seen Bernhardt and Miss Davenport Thoy
act I like Bernhardt except she makes such
awful faces, and I don't know one word sho
says. I let on I do. though, bocuuso everybody
olso does."
The case was not reached on account of the
early adjournment in respect to Justice Kelly,
and the examination wilt be held to-day.

HAS BRADLEY BACKED OUT?
A STIR IK ASDVHT VAItK BX BIB TAIL.
CUE XO SELL TUB BEACU.
after nia Otr to Hell the Ocean Front a
Law mi Paaeed to Ennbe the Town to
Dnr-Now Hradlejr la Not Eager to Hell.
Tho conduct of Baron Bradloy ot Asbury
Park Is greatly puzzling the people of that
place. They do not precisely nccuso him of
fooling thorn, but only say that what he has
dono during the winter would took that way
"to a man up a troo." Ho offered to sell to the
town his vntuable beach rights on the ocean
front nnd on tho inland lakes, nnd whon they
wero all roady to mako tho purchase Mr. Brad
loy was llko the flea upon which tho Irishman
put his finger ho was not thoro. Tho
story ot James A. Bradloy's relation
ship to Asbury Park is too woll known
to need telling nt lencth. Tho origi
nal ownor ot tho land, ho turnod it
Into a town slto and managod It with exceed
ing shrcwdnoss both for himBolt nnd the peo
ple. Ho has boon ablo to keep tho mostvnlu
ublo land, that which was bound to bo the
hlehost priced when a town should bo built
behind nnd around It. A whole strip n block
In width alone tho ocean front Is still In his
name, and sovoral blocks nround oach of tho
ornamental lakes ho rotains, the town having
boen built upon tho less attractive sites away
from theso waters. No ono can lookntOccan
Grove, tho next-door neighbor to tho park,
without rocognlztng Mr. Bradley's shrewdness,
for whoreas that place was laid out with nar
row lanes nnd sold ln very small lots. Bradley's
town was planned with broad uvonuos, all
widening at tho ocean front, and with building
sites never smaller than W) by 1K0 foot.
Bradley's rofusal todoodn bltof land with
out a prohibitory liquor clause ln tho deed, his
esplonaco over the bathers nnd the slzo and
stylo of their bathing suits, his signs Inform
ing visitors of tho proper hour for quitting tho
beach nt nlcht. nf how to behave on tho Minds,
mid ot the fact that modesty i us essential to
women In a buthlnc druss as in a silk gown,
wore all approved bv tho mie-s of tho residents
of the Park because it was seen thnt they ad
vertised tho place trenioiidoutly. .Moroovor. It
was perceived to boil aluublo kind of ndver
Using beoause It spread the idea that women
and children would find it n strictly governed,
orderly reort. Whether Mr. Lrndley did all
theso things In the general Interest of morality
or for their advertising value, no one but ho
can say. Tho people who bought land there
did not care. They barked him up because ot
tlio advorttsinc that followed.
About throe years nco Mr. nrnuloy began to
talk nf his doslro to part with his beach nnd
board walk. Ho 1ms u broad, strong board
walk a mile lone, from Great Pond, or Deal
Lake, to Wesley Lake, which dlvldos Asbury
Park from Ocean Grove. Along this board
walk, which Is frequented by as many us
40.000 persons nt u limn in the season, ho
established a number of bnthlng housos with
a tariff as high ns uuy on tho Atlantic co.it.
Ho ulso built two-story open air structures for
people to sit In and watch tho bathers and tho
ocean, and in theso lie leased privileges to
vendors of candy, soda water, and tho usual
knick-knncks on sale in such places. He
broucht n band of musio every sum
mer to play in olio of theso lonllng
places but as the lint is passed urnund
every summer for money lor the band
tho oxponso of It was not as great as it mlelit
bo. On tho other hand, tho board walk was
maintained at a voiy groat expense. Tho
wintor storms bnttored creat reachos of It to
pieces ovory year, and tho sea kopt advancing
upon its lino of piling. Every yenrthousnnds
of dollars wore required to put it In order for
the summer visitors. It could have been run
nt a protlt if it was crowded vv ith booths, goat
wagons, donkeys, sausage stalls, ami merry-go-rounds,
such as aro provided for Philadel
phia's overflow at Capo May and Atlantln City,
but Mr. Bradley vvlsoiy refrained from cheap
ening his town in that way. But ho announced
that he wanted to sell it.
Every ono believed him to be in earnest. All
thought they could sen good reasons why ho
should waut to sell. Ho is tlio baron of tho
beach, hut the town bus a government of Its
own and his power is vveakeninc continually.
There Is some opposition to him among the
officials, ond ho is only one mnn among tnnny
Instead of over many, as ho was utllrst. His
health was reported to be poor, and this also
strengthened tho theory thut when ho said ho
wouldsell lio was ln earnest Ho even nninod
his price after n while, putting tho beach,
board walk, and shores ot the lakes ln a lump
at f 150,000. The llgurc mado such a barcain
that any ono of a .score of men in the town
would havo been clad to raise tho money nnd
buy the land, but Bradley's offer was only to
the town corporation. It was uocossary to got
a bill through tho Legislature to enable tho
town to borrow nnd spend tho money. Mr.
John Hawkins drafted a bill framed to permit
towns to raise money for tho purchase of
parks. It was passed rocontly. out only
through the tireloss work of tho leading
townsfolk and tho local Assemblyman.
Then thoso who saw Mr. Bradley imagined
that ho seemed no longer very anxious to
make good his offer to sell. He found fault
with tho law that had boon enacted. Ho said
it wasdancoroiiitocive towns tho richt to
spend nnd go in debt for largo sums of money.
Later still he said that ho had sold rights un
der water on Great Pond to two purchasers of
land on tho lake front Ho was Informed that
tho tnvvn cared very llttlo ubout tho lake
richts. What it wanted was the beach and
boardwalk. To this Jlr. Bradley replied that
the town must seeure tho riparian richts on
Great Pond from the men he hud sold to. us ho
desired to turnover tho entiro water richts In
toto. It struck tho officials us very queer that
thoy, tho purchasers, should have to go to
tho trouble of perfecting titles. That is
usually the buslnoxs of the vender, and thoy
said so. Mr. Bradley held to his position, how
evor. Finally the nlcht camo when tho Com
missioners wore to moot to finally agree upon
the purchase of the property, and Bradley and
nil the othciB received notice All came to the
meeting except Mr. Brudley. He was known
to be in town, but kopt away from tho moettng.
Thus tho caso stands to-dny. The towns
peoplo naturally imagine thnt ho does not
want to sell out and that ho never was in
earnest about it It is n big bargain for
the town nnd tho officials aro anxious to closo
it, hut thoro is no way to force Mr. Bradley to
soil, nnd so they aro doing nothing but waiting
and wondering.

De Hayn Hooaevell'a Report on Ihe Haiti,
more Post Ofllre Did an Injustice.
Washington. April 2.".-I'ostmnster-aencral
Wnnnmnkor to-dny appeared bofni o tho House
Committee on lloform In tho Civil Borvico to
furnish Information ns to whether any of tho
twenty-five Baltimore Post Office employees
charged with violations ot tho civil sorvlco
rules wero still In office, and it they hod been
proceeded against ln tho courts. Chairman
Andrew of tho committee snld that tho Civil
Service Commission mado u report to tho
President ln which it assorted that in March
and April of lust yenr thoy found twonty-flvo
employees of tho Baltlraoro Post Offlco guilty
of violating the Civil Bervico law, twenty-one
of whom were under the Post Office Depart
ment. The violation wns u mlsdomeanor.
liable to ponalty, and, undor the law. the of
fenders must bo removed from olflco. Tho
Commission rccommonded tho illschargo ot
these men. Tho House on April Hi votod upon
tho report, which contained tho recommenda
tion ot the Civil Sorvtce Commission nnd tlio
evidenco of tho employees, and he asked
whether thoso who hud been charged with
violation of tho law wero still In office, nnd if
any had been prococded ugnlnst In the courts.
Postmnstor-Gencrnl Wanamaker replied
that all tho men wero in tho employ ottho
Government, nnd nono or them had been in
dicted. Tho reasons ho would ho glad to
btatetotho committee. Ho said that he re
ceived n copy of the report, nnd immediately
after that tho Postmaster at Baltimore called
on him and protested acalust tile manner in
which the investigation wus made a star
"'amber proceeding.
Aftor listening to tho I'ostmnster. con
tinued tho Postmaster-General. "I believed
nil Injustlco had been dono tho men nnd
ordered an investigation made. Chief Post
Olllce Inspector Avhoolor und ex-Chief Post
Olllco Inspector Sharp of Tonnosseo miulo
tho Investigation u public matter and sought
ln every way to learn the truth. Thoy made n
report to the department that tlio taets did
not justify tho dismissal nf the twenty-oiio
mon or any ono of them. From conversation
with the two inspectors I hail reason to think
thnt, while some ot the men might be tech
nically ln fault, thero was nothing to justify
their dismissal. The basis nf tho charges
nas In aiding tho oloctlons. which wore
neither city, State nor national, but a Conven
tion to mako rulos for tho Itepuhlic.m jinrty.
1 think that tho men were fortillnd by tho
opinion of tho Assistant Attorney-General of
the department nnd other uutlioiities. and. ns
fur ns I could seo, they wero poor men. sol
diers, and sons of soldiers, and ull declnred
thoy did not Intend to violate the Civil Service
law. Somoof tho mon belonged to u club anil
simply paid their duos. Inmost of tlio easos
tho men wero Innocent if not in ull of them,
und they wero sulllciently punlshod by tho
chargos and the investigation."
Various questions wero asked by members
of the committee and satisfactorily answered
by tlio Postmuster-General. He suld thut it
was not his duty to make discharges amunc
tho employees of the different Post Oflieos
throughout tho country, but he could dismiss
the Postmaster. In this instance Mr. Johu
Min. tho Postmaster ot Baltimore, had been
reprimanded for allowing such a state of af
fairs to prevail in his ofllre.
Mr. Boutnor nsked of what use was tho Civ II
Service Commission it tho heads of depart
ments had authority toco behind Its reports
and direct an investigation.
Mr. Wanamakor replied that this was the
first Intimation given him that the Civil Boi
vico Commission had control of tho depart
ments, independent of ttie hends ot such
departments, and could step In and
order dismissals at its own swoot will.
He concluded by saving that ho had to bollevn
the testimony taken hy his Inspectors, and
they had declared that thoro had been no v lo
lationof tholaw.
Tho commiltco adjourned until Monday
noxt. when thoy will hour .Secretary Foster and
Aitornoy-Geuoral Miller ln regard to the four
men employed in their respectlvo depart
ments, who are included in the charges.

Mr. Piatt of Connecticut then moved thnt the
Scott Inclusion Law of 1888 should not be
among tho laws continuod In forco.
Mr. Sherman snld that while the Scott law
was. in his opinion, ono ot the most vicious
laws that ovor passed, and. while ho believed
It was n more political arrangement between
two political parties to try to iniluence the
voto on tho i'ucillo coast, ho thought It better,
under tho circumstances, to let tho law of 18HH
stand until Congress, in n moro deliberate
way, could regulate the mutter, or until tho
Lxecutlve Depurtment could do bo by troaty.
Mr. Piatt's amendment was voted down by
8 to 4fi, so tho hcottact wns allowed to stund.
