Mrs. Nellie Flcrcoy, mur deress of Mrs. Hogg and her Infant, was banged tbia morning. She left a confession. In which she acknowl edged that her pnolshment wss Just, but as serted that much of tbe evidence against btr at bsr tils was false. The crime for which Mrs. Nellie Plercey paid the death penalty this morning waa com mitted Friday, Oct. lit, ISM, at Humpstead. Tbe victims were Mrs. Hogu, wife of a porter, who lived near Kentlshtown, and her Infant cnuo. Mrs. Hogg's tody was found in Cro-snell Hoads at T o'clock on tbe evening of the date given above. It waa terribly mutilated and from thla fact, aa well aa that of a warning let ter signed "Jack tbe Ripper" having been left at the local polioe station a few days before, the deed was at first attributed to that myste rious Individual. When tbe Identity of the woman was finally gotten at, however, tbe Ripper theory waa given up. It waa found that Mrs. Hogg left her borne on that fatal Friday, wheeling her child In a perambulator. Thu vehicle, waa found a little distance from the dead woman, and had evi dently been used to wbeel tbe body to the Hoads. Tbe child's body waa found on Sunday t mil from where the dead mother bad lain. It had evidently died of suffocation. Police lnvestlgstlon showed that Mrs. nogg had visited Mrs. Plercey tbe dsy she met her deatb; also that Mr. Hogg, husband of the dead woman, had been on nndnly Intimate terms with Mrs. Plercey. A visit to the woman'a apartments st Uamp stead ahowed yet remaining evidences or a deoperate struggle In which blood had been shonn. Finally, tbo evidence became so complete that Mrs. Plercey, who, with the husband of the de.id woman, had been taken Into custody, made a practical confeulon that she had com mitted the murdtr. Mrs. Hogg bad been killed by Mrs. Plercey in s quarrel over tho false husUnd, snd tbo body bad tben been wheeled to the spot where It waa found.

Politician and Lack of Money AN leanrt to Keep tho Streets Dirty. Mr. Ivlns was on band a little late this morn ing to take his final whaok at tbe Street-Clean-Ing Department, senators Ahearn and Fattt were also behindhand, but there was quite a gathering in the Superior Court room aome time before the hour ael by the Committee for resuming tta investigation. Among the witnesses who were snmmoned for to-day's session were ex-Commlasloner Loomls snd Eddie Hagnn, his ex-deputy ; chief Clerk Beardeley and several other lights paat and present, of the Street-Cleaning Department. Ex- Commissioner Loomla waa called ss the first wltntss. Mr. Loomls said he had been Street-Cleaning Commissioner for three months, beginning last January, under Mayor Grant. He waa summoned to the Major's office unexpectedly aud offered the position. He asked time to consider it snd finally accepted. "Yon appointed Mr. Utgtn as yonr deputy?" "Yes." ' ' Whst did you know of bis qualifications for auoh a position f ' I did not know muoh about him, bat I un derstood he was competent-" "You knew that ho waa a leader of a Tim many organization In one of the city districts?" "Yes. 1 understood he was." " Why waa it you failed to keep tho streets cleaned and resigned 1" Inquired Mr. Ivlns, Insinuatingly. Come, tell ns all about It, " " 1 didn't fall," protstid Mr. Loomla "I kept the streets as clean as I could with the money that was given to me." This msde Mr. Ueaitle, who had come In with his head clerk and Deputy Dalton, smile sardonically. Mr. Ivins withdrew the first part of his question and went on to ask Mr. Loomls about the palronnge of the office. Mr. Loomls said be delegated his authority to supervise the labor force of tbe Department to Deputy Hagan, who bad tbe power of ap pointment and removal. He said he never knew of any man being recommended either for appointment or removal by the local Civil Service Board. The witness finally said that one of his annoyancea was the Interference of politicians and private citizens la the work ol the Dep art menl by soliciting patronage, aud thut this was one reason why he resigned. He con id not do what he wanted to, .and be got tick of tbe whole Job. "Tammany Hall men were tbe only ones wbo stood a chance of getting a Jobt" sug gested Mr. Ivlns. " I don't know, I never Inquired about their religion or politics." Do you know of any County Democracy men or plain cltixsna or Mugwumps who were appointed dnring yottr term nt officer' I never asked any questions. I didn't ears who toey were. It would have been just the same if w bsd been obliged to advertise for onr men. " Mr. Loomls thought It was a bsd thing to have men appointed at the solicitation of poli ticians. It made teem too Independent and hard to get work out of them. The witness also explained, at the request of Mr. Ivlns, bis notion of a poliilcsl pull. Ue said he bad never been requested to lake back a man who had been ulsonarged on the gronud that It would Inconvomence some politician In tbe management of politics In ms district. Tne argument usually presented waa the humane argument. It waa represented by his friends that be and hla family would die of starvation if he were not restored to his place Then ex-Deputy street-Cleaning Commis sioner Edward P. Hagan waa called. He eaid he bad not been In active bualneas tor four years. Hla last business wss tbat of resl eststo dealer, and prior to that he had been In tbe liquor bualness. He bad represented tbe Six ttenth District in the Assembly. " What were the oircumaianoes of your ap polntment aa Deputy Street-Cleaning Commie sloneM" ' Nothing extraordinary. " " Well, give us the ordinary circumstances, then. " "I waa asked by the Mayor and aome other fsntlemen connected with tne organization If tnouunt I could dll the position acceptably. I thought I could do ao, although I felt that the position waa a difficult one, and no I took it-" Mr. Hagan told Mr. Ivlns Tenf VtssklTthtt when tie assumed his dotles yLattatftrged a good rasny men who were offalfli'sUiari Issns and pnt Tammany men in their pu" .. That, be understood, was the method pursued by all tbe political organizations In Ihe city, and ho believed tbat tne victors onght to havetba spoils. "It's not so bad as It rued tobewbenthe County Demoerscy was in power. They dis charged 60 per cent, more men than we did." ' It tne streets are not kept clean don't yon think that tho Commissioner Is technically nnttiw rtt vlnl-ltniF Ihn t.av?" alrrt Mr. lln. He might be technically guilty, but not morally. The present law la too strict and Is nntslr to contractors. " "How much money do you think would be Dfcrsary to keep the streets clean at all limes?" "I think tl, TBO. 000 a year would do It. " Commlasloner Beattle took tbe stand again and presented some estimates a to Ihe eoat of cleaning the city nnder the blook system and tbe comblued block and machine system. The former would cost at least $100,000 more tbsn the approximation for tie coming year, and would not be nearly aa effective aa the com bined block and machine system. " Are yu getting enough money now to keep the afreets cKao ?" "Not enough to fulfil the obligations ex prrsxed In the law." ' Tneu you do not bold yourself responsible for the condition of tne mreets j" " Absolutely no, nor tne lorce under me." Mr. Boatuesaid Dial tbe only reaaou why he continued In office waa mat ao long as he had taken it on theundera'andiDg that it he could show tnat a larger appropriation waa needed to proiierly clean the atreeta he abould get It, he frit tnat us ought to aee He thin- through. "Otherwise 1 ahould bavo reaigned long ago," added tne Commissioner. "I mint I can ahow tbat a larger appropriation is needed." Tbe Commissioner's totsl estimate for the block syatem waa as, 189, !M. aud for H'S hand and nischiui) system combined 11,600,000. He ahowed that although tne former system was tbe more exrensive it provldtd for cleaning SOO miles eery day besides acquiring a val uable plant und the latter only provldod lor denning 810 tmles ol thu strctts.

Ho Delivers a Iilttle laecturo with III Maiden Decision. Police Justice Dlvver put on the Judicial ermine for the first tlmethis morning, snd sat as a msglstrate tt the Tombs Court. He ex changed aeats with Justice White, tnd the latter became listener tnd prompter to the novice. Justice Dlvver presented a very creditable appearaneo on the woolaack. Ilia naturally shrewd face was solemnly sober and Judicial In Its expression, and " the Court " disposed of a score of esses with dignity. Mneb more time was consnmeJ by the work Ihtn Is usually allowed by the Police Magis trates, and Judge Dlvver seemed bent on de ciding each oase on Ita mertta-a thing quite novel In New York Police Court practice. The Court aeemed to rely to some extent on tbe evidence presented, rather than to depend wholly on Its own Judgment, formed In a two minute aorutlny of the fsces of prisoner and complainant There la aome merit in this, ss In nine oases onr of ten tbe fsces of both plaintiff and prisoner In Police Oonrt ire battered tnd dis figured by drink and eaeb other's digits. Justice Divvor's maiden deolalon waa in the case of tbe People against Martin Moloney. Martin is eighteen years old and Uvea at IIS Avenuo C Ue waa arrested yesterday In a beaatly atate of intoxication, and didn't deny IU Judge Dlvver cogitated a moment, weighed society aguluat the parenta of the youth, and then, deciding against the latter, said: "Martin, you are too young to get drunk. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Why don't you behave and be an honor and credit to your father? Yon are fined 15." Justice Dlvver then looked over a collection of four blear-eyed beauties, who were brought In irom Mulhorry street bend by Officer Peter man, of th Kllzabelb street squad. 1 be view was not satisfactory, and aa neither of tho women oflered any excuse for existence all four were disposed of laconically by Ihe new Judge: " One month on the Island. " Jimmle Henry and Jlmrote. Mttobell, who bad been arrested for stealing clothing from an old man In Cberry street, lurntahed it longer trial. Neither ot the young men could con ceive bow suspicion ever fell npon blm, and each told a long atory ot tils pedeatrlanlam In Cherry street, with "de copper 'rested mo" for a climax, but with never a word about old clothes. Henry was stabbed about forty tlmea In the back alx week ago, anil he auiaested aa an explanation of his present trouble that be had been trying to work np evidence agalust "do pahty wat stabbed me,1 und may be tne friends ot tbo stabbing party wera irjlngtoget him, tne stabbed, locked np snd out of the way. JUUgO lllTTCr 1I.1CUVU WIIU ItXa.S lICtlllCJLII to these stories, and aa the Swede waa too drunk to tell wbat happened, the Court dis charged everybody with injunctions to go aud stesl no more. Jlramle Coleman's pretty sister spproached tke august tntalttrtt, after this and asked what her brother waa lacked np for. Tne books showed that Jlmrfll bad been brought in mneh mure drnnk than was good tor a twelve-year-old boy. Mater orted and mussed her frizzes, and tbe tender heart of Justice Dlvver was com pletely unmanned. He whispered earneatly to Justice White, wbo bsd committed Jimmle, snd Ihe result was tbst tbe lad was brongbt up out of tbe Tombs, tnd Jostle White signed hit dlscbtrge, muoh to tbe satisfaction or tne nrw magistrate. Sutler kissed tnd cried over Jimmle and told, ' God bless yon," to Jodce Divvtr, and tben led the lad away for Cbriatmaa. Frederick Forrest, wbo bad cheated Italians and Chinamen out uf quarters and halt dol art for alleged dues to the Police Department, was held for trial by the new Justice, tnd even the case of Abraham Bernstein, wanted In Balti more for stealing Jewelry, did not atlck Judge Divver. He remanded Btrnetem pending tbe arrival of the necessary extradition papers. Then the calendar waa given t ronnd np by the Issuance of a summons to a Bowery Jeweller who bad sold t gold wttcb tnat wasn't gold to Sammy Reevers, a sixteen-year-old Second avenue boy.

It Is admitted on all sides that the prleatly besom awept Parnell clean ont ol Kilkenny, ana that, dtaplte the coarseness of Its fibres, It has done the work uncommonly well. Kvery priest In the district acted ns an elec tion agent tnd conld not bavo labored more energetically nal bla own bread tnd butter for the futuro depended on the snoooaa ot the antl Parnelllte candidate. The victors are greatly elated at their auo. cess, snd have become more ao atnee the alzs of tbo majority became known. Mr. Parnell himself took tho result of the election very quietly. It la probable that be bad scentsd defeat, though obliged to make n show of hopefulness unld the voting was over, and had prepared himself for tbe event. It Is feared there may be disorderly scenes to-night In connection with the Jubilations of toe victorious McCarthyites. An HvKNiNfl Wont.D reporter aaw T. P. O'Connor, M, P., at the Hotel Bartholdt thla morning, tnd questioned blm aa to the effect of the Kilkenny defeat of Parnell's candidate. It demonstrates thst tne tntntonlsm to Parnell Is certainly a formidable one," aald Mr. O'Connor. "It is au indication that he la the leader of & minority, and the majority must rule, you know. I can only repeat whit I stld In Boeton a few days sgo. The returns agaluat Parnell should open bis eyes to the fact thu tbe thinking people or Ireland, those wbo cast the ballots, are not with him In his present disastrous campaign. "Parnell's persistence Inpoalogaa t leader after defeat would be a very serloua thing tor thu Irish movement. The nopes ot winning Home Hole rest In tbe Independence and unity of the Irish party in th House of Commons. "Under Jnstln McCarthy tbe Irish party conld satisfactorily unite.

Mr. John Dillon was first notified of the ofncltl returns of Sir John Pope Hennessy'i election by tn Bvknino World reporter at ths Hoffmen House this morning.

"I feel, "aald Mr. Dillon, "that th result will Und to bring about t union between the two factions ot th party tnd heal np the breach aa well as to Isrgely Inflnene the meeting between Mr. Parnell and Mr. O'Brlon tt Paris." Timothy D. Sullivan sailed for Queenstown on Saturday last, and only Dillon snd O'Con nor, of the Irish envoys, tre now In this country.
