Foutz before the game. "That's why we lost the first two games. We will be right In line, though, when we get our ey In."

The Brooklyn Board of Aldermen to day granted a franchise to the South Brooklyn Terminal "Railroad Company to extend Its lines to the Twenty-sixth Wnrd. Only three votes were cast against It, Aldermen Leach, Boeder and Hen nessy voting In the negative. Alderman Leach made a strong argu ment against granting the franchise. He said no time was stated In the appli cation when the extension was to be finished and proper compensation was not made for the city. The only payment for the franchise Is that the Company agrees to enrry coal to the pumping station for 60 cents a ton. The agreement Is not even bind ing upon the Company, and, as the franchise is very valuable, there will be great dissatisfaction among property owners. COLUMBIA IN COMMISSION.

(ny Assoct.led Pre...) HOTEL DEL CORONADO, Cal April 23. Jesse Sellgman, of J. & W. Sellgman & Co., bankers, New York and London, died at the Hotel del Coronado nt 9 , o'clock this morning. JESSE BELIOMAN. Pneumonia and Bright's disease caused his death. His wife and daughter were with him. Mr. Sellgman had been more than fifty years in America. Following his three elder brothers, he left his Bava rian home and came to New York in 1611. He Joined his brothers In Lancas ter, Pa., where he learned to speak English. The brothers went to Mobile, but as that city was too large for their small capital they Anally moved to Selma, Ala. They were peddlers, and carried their own packs. Jesse was prosperous, and when only fifteen years old he owned his own store and employed clerks. The California fever of 1849 came over hhxu.and he took a supply of goods by way of' Panama to San Francisco. He started a flourishing business, and soon afterwards a great Are swept away nearly every store except his own. He visited his native land In the Aftles, and In Munich met the young woman whom he married. During his residence In California, while mob rule prevailed there, Mr. Sel lgman became a prominent member of the Vigilance Committee, whlc was or ganized to put It down and restore order. He was subsequently a member of the famous Committee of Toity, which un dertook to put the affairs of San Fran cisco In the hands of men who would conduct them In the Interest of the citi zens and not of the political freeboot ers. The purpose was accomplished. Mr. Sellgman came to New York In 1857, and in 1862 the present banking house was established. He was a stanch Union man during the war. His house was the first to place United States Government bonds abroad. Mr. Sellgman had been a Republican since the formation of the party, and was always active In its affairs. He never held office, but was often urged to allow the use of his name as the Republican candidate for Mayor of New York. Jesse Sellgman was largely Interested In charitable Institutions. His special pride was the Hebrew Orphan Asylum, which shelter 600 little ones. Every Sunday Mr. Sellgman made It a point to vUlt tne Institution. He was its fren ldent, and had been for twenty yenrs back. Mr. Sellgman was also a director In the New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor: the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Natural History and Vice-President of the Union League Club. Mr. Sellgman's brothers were Joseph, William, James, Henry, Leapold, Abra ham and ltaac. The latter 1. a lawyer. Abraham and Joseph are dead, and the others are Interested In the great banking-house. Mr. Sellgman leaves three sons Theo dore, Henry and Albert and three nnufhtorx Mrs Emmo Wasserman, Mlaacn Alice and Madeline. He was jne of the best known und best liked men In Wall street. lie waj fore most In great railway en'erprU-js, and among the roads he helped toim were the Atlantic and Paclllc. St. Louis nnd San Francisco, and Western New a ork and Pennsylvania. He was the represen tative of the De Irfssep Canal Company. There were very few syndicates termed to float big loans, either rallroid or Industrial, that did not have the name of Jesse Sellgmin in them. Mr. Helfgman was a very wealthy man. He was worth many millions of dollars. The exact nmount no one knows, not even his own sons. An est! mato given by one of the firm places the amount of his wenlth at JIO.000,000. BROCKWAY "RELIEVED."

Then thd mob went deliberately to work and with a battering ram burst In the side of the Jail.

In the arraignment of eleven boy cotters of the Budwelser Brewing Com pany In the Yorkvllle Police Court to day for disorderly conduct in front of Frank Grundy's saloon, Third avenue and Thirty-first street, yesterdny after noon, it was developed that the police of the Thirty-fifth street station cut the unique figure of aiding and abetting In a violation of the Excise law. The pris oners were: George T. Harrison, thirty eight years, of SSS West Thirty-eighth street; William Maher, forty-eight yeara, of 402 East Thirty-fourth street; Michael Thoney, twenty-one years.

Early yesterday afternoon a crowd of forty men congregated outside Grundy's saloon and persistently endeavored to prevent any person from entering the place. Of course only the "family en trance" door was open, Grundy having respect enough for the Sunday law tn close his front door. The crowd, which included a number of men on strike in the Budwelser Brewing Company, se lected Grundy's us the best place to ef fect a boycott on the Budwelser beer. They were quite successful, because they resorteil to heroic measures and captured the thirsty prospective patrons of Grundy and led them bodily to other saloons In the neighborhood. The crowd was uugmented to the pro portions of a mob by C o'clock, and Grundy bent for assistance to Capt. Martens. The Captain responded nobly ami despatched Ills entire platoon of trusty reserves, who saw to It that a good Tiunmanylte like tlrundy shouldn't be Inconvenienced In his thriving Sun day business. The platoon swooped down on the crowd and opened up big gaps In their groups. They soon hail made a clear nassaire for the tln-nall brigade and the "schooner-soakers" to reach Grundy'b bar. and Grundy was fairly catching up to his usual Sunday receipts when It diwned upon Cnpt. Martenn. after he had locked the prisoners up, thnt inHy be Grundy might have violated the Ilxcli'e law.

In the last ten days Itoglstrar Nagle, of the Bureau of Vital Statistics, has received many calls from mldwlves who wanted to ascertain whether the law regulating the practice of midwifery re quired that 'one following that vocation must have a diploma. The frequency of these calls excited the suspicion that perhaps some one was going about Intimidating. If not hlack malllug, the mldwlves. The description given by Dr. Nagle's callers of the can vasser left no doubt that the same man had called upon nil of them. He Is al leged to have represented that the law required that they have a diploma from some regular school, and that to prac tise without a diploma was a serious offense. He Is also alleged to have rep resented that he could secure diplomas for them t $75 each, providing they fol lowed his Instructions, from a well known and reputable physician.

O'NEILL TESTIFIES jl fl Says Deteotive Sheridan Admit- f n ted His Assault Upon Lynoh. Also Corroborates Mayston's Story in Important Points. 1 'I Pollco Commissioners Refute to Re 1 servo Their Doc's on. Jm 'M The trial of Ward Detective George H. . 1 Sheridan, of the Church atreet station. Sc who Is charged with maliciously assault. Jjj lng Joseph J. Lynch and others In the Merchants' Hotel on April 3, and In per- mlttlng a pool-room to be run there la jl violation of the law, wau continued be- ,j fore the Police Commissioners this mors- , ? lng. -i Lawyer Howe and ex-Surrogata Hoi- t llns announced that they had closed their case for the defendant, and bo- j fore offering any evidence In rebuttal Lawyer O'Neill mode a motion that , '4 the Commissioners should give no anal " decision In the matter so long us tho ''; casu of Sheridan was pending before- s the Grand Jury, on the ground that ' r determination of the matter by the, Board now might be prejudicial to tho" Interests of Justice, not only in. tha " investigation by the Grand Jury, but' In the trial of Sheridan, should he be '" Indicted. The motion also called for an '. adjournment of the case until after Jg the Grand Jury had taken action. - This was opposed by Mr. Rollins.. anil w the Commissioners, the full Board-being ! present, decided to deny the motion. " ? Mr. O'Neill said that he expected to have several witnesses to contradict the i testimony ot Bnerldan's friends, but tha ' only one In hand this morning was Dan- lei Mayston, the peddler, who was fhej J only one of the four Jersey City men ad- i. leged to have been assaulted at the Met- ' chants' Hotel, who testified for the V prosecution. 1. , The others still refused to attend the trial, and there Is no doubt that they el had been Intimidated by threats to S, keep away. 'l Commissioner MacLean said he would -.'"I be In favor of suspending the case If dj Mr. O'Neill could give any aaurano that the missing witnesses would be' ; produced. Mr. O'Neill, however, said ,: that he could give no such assurance, and that It was useless to expect to get .- them to New York. j Luwyer Moss, Sheridan's eounsal, " made a general motion for the dls- v missal of tho charges against the deteo- ' tlve. This motion was also denied, and Muyston went on the wttneso-st&nd . again. He was questioned as to tne statements made by the witness. Mux- f phy and others, and contradicted them v In every particular, but not without in frequent objections by the defendant's counsel. He told again the story of the ' visit to the Merchants' Hotel later In the evening after the assault. Mayston denied that Capt O'Connor 3 sent Officer McCarthy with Lynch and J 'i his party back to the hotel after they t had lodged their complaint In the sta- tlon. or gave any Instructions to an of- fleer. 1 ji McCarthy did not accompany them as ar as Church and Cortlandt streets, as ha t: stated, but a man, whom the Witness ' recognized as a policeman In eitlxen's " dress, came up to them as they stood on A the corner and tried to Induce Lynch to ', give up the purpose of pressing tha j, complaint against Sheridan. Vf He did not succeed In persuading. 4 Lynch to leave theparty, which them j went directly to "The world" office, 'y where they told their story ot the u, JM sault In the pool-room. The testimony, 31 of Sheridan's witnesses was to tha. t Jl effect that there was no pool-room or, any room ever used for that purpose at 't the Merchants' Hotel. f Mayston, however, gave a very minute VI description of the upartment, which was ! on tho second floor, he said, and ooula hold about ISO persons. The witness l had a notebook In which he had made s a memorandum of the betting on. that : afternoon, April 3. Mr. Rollins ob- ; Jected to the Introduction of this In evt- fi dence, but the Commissioners allowed it, nnd Mayston gave the figures and J. told the names of a number of horses A upon which he had placed bets. J "While the business was going on. J he snld, "Harry Poynton, who ran th; t pool-room, called off the odds, and I $ only took down the names of the horses k 1 wanted to play. I played these horses t in the fourth rnce." ,j Mayston said that three or four days 4 nfter the n--sault upon Lynch he went to the Merchants' Hotel, and was ',- standing In the barroom, when Murphy, h the lame man, who testified he was only ? 1 11 telegraph operator In the hotel, but J I whom Mayston says was known as the J. 1 proprietor of the place, came up to hlra jj I and asked him If lie was not Mayston. "I denied this," said the witness, "and" i then he said: 'Yes you are. You are the man who made trouble In my place j.' and have ruined my business.' "With that he raised his crutch, as If ,'1 he was going to hit me, and told me to y. get out of the hotel and never show my- i self there again." V. Mavston gave his little notebook witn s the memoranda of the betting on to horses to Mr Rollins, after some on- f Jectlons, and It was marked for Idea- 1 tlflcntlon. , , ,,-. A There was no witness to put on after 1 Mnyslon had finished, and Mr. Blandy i suggested that Mr O'Neill should ,go Inn the stand, as he had accomiiaiili'l f Lynch nnd his party to thl station and the hotel on the night uf Hie assault. Mr O'Neill, however. reauiasll nil associate to attend to hU own inrt- sj meiit. and made It plain lint 10 did not care to testify. He said hu had nerved subpoenas upon the wltneuxs living In f I this city, one ot whom hid teen lhe ,t assault on Lynch, aad another who nn3 'cleaned up the 000! toon 'very dJ', t but they hail not obeyed tho summonses. J He nsKed that these wmu sn be com- T lulled to appear, and the Commissioner)! J lordeied the proper stein lo e 'nken, j 1 Commissioner MacLean again re- ft I quested Mr O'Neill to go on the stand and Mr Blandy also urged It. $ "I refuse point blank to do any such " thing," said Mr. O'Neill, "and I object to the wnv In which my ussoclale U, Ji asallmg me." ........ Mr Blandy nt this stated that he had ben tiylug ever slncu the Investigation ft commenced to find out what the facts fel In the possession of the prosecution m were. Mr. O'Neill, however, had refuted m to give him any Information whatever, tS nnd had declined to consult with, htm at ,M anv stage of the Investigation. . 19 He said be knew enough, however, to t?M Insist that Mr. O'Neill shouU tell what , he could In corroboration of the.testu. 1 ,H jiony ofiMayatou, but Mr. O'NtlU atitl .v!
