BROOKLYN NEWS.
I LOCKOUT IMMINENT.
I
( Brooklyn Brewers Givo Their Em
ployees an Ultimatum,
Must Decide by Saturday on
"Work or War."
Workmen'! Demand Entirely Ig
nored by the Bosses.
A lockout of brewery employee will
take place In Brooklyn Saturday, unlet
Brewery Employees' Union No. 69 with
draws certain demands which have been
rijected by the brewers. '
The employees threatened to strike, I
and decleted a boycott against all brew-,
era who refused to sign the agreement.
The brewers have now turned the tables
and decided to lock out all employees
who Insisted on the terms of the brew
ery employees' ultimatum. I
The brewers do not say they will lock
their men out. They use milder lan
guage, but It means a freeze-out Just
the same. Thev say all those who do
not wish to remain In their employ
without an agreement can go.
Only the brewers who are not In the
brewers' pool are concerned In this fight.
They are J George Grauer, Lelblnger
Oehm. Frank Ibert and Paul Weld
mann. The war which they have de
clared against the Union Is the outcome
of the boycott by the Union against
Grauer's brewery. The Union ha been
endeavoring for some time to compel
the brewers outside of the pool to give
official recognition to the Union. They
have!, ever don, so, although they em
ployed union workmen and paid union
wages.
1c Ih alleged by the breners, and de
nied by the workmen, that the union
men resorted to violence when their de
mands were refused by Grauer, and
broke all the windows In his brewery.
The brewers say they then determined
to take a united stand, and that they will
not recede from their position one Jot.
These are the concessions the work
men ask for, which the brewers will not
grant:
1. With the exception of foremen,
assistant foremen and apprentices,
union men must be employed, and fore
men shall not be permitted to perform
the Iiibors of Journeymen.
2. Workmen recommended by saloon
keepers uhall not be employed, under
any circumstances.
3. Workmen shall not be discharged
except for cause. Sickness Is no cause
for dismissal.
4. To avoid a reduction In the force
during the Winter season every em
ployee shall stop work on one day each
week between Oct. 15 and March 15.
5. No member of the Union shall be
permlted to perform the labors of a
driver, machinist or stoker.
6. There snail be one apprentice for
every twenty-five workmen.
7. Ten consecutive hours shall consti
tute a day's work, and a week shall
consist of six work days. Not more
than two hours' labor shall be per
formed Sunday, such work to be paid
for extra and at double rates. Three
hours' work shall constitute a day's
labor Labor Day and May 1, no work
to be performed after 7 A. M. on the
former dav and after noon on the latter
Iday,. wages to be paid In .full for both
days.
8. Wages must be paid weekly, a fol
lows: To workmen of the first class
In the wash-house, 118. to all others SIS.
To all others In other departments, 118.
During working hours beer shall be
free to all workmen, and where beer
tickets are In use they shall be dis
tributed In unrestricted numbers.
8. This agreement to be In force from
April 16, 1&4. until April 18. 1895.
The brewers concerned yesterday noti
fied their employees that they could
continue In their employ at union wages,
but that the Union would not be recog
nized. They have until Saturday noon
to decide whether It Is to be "work or
Th brewers object principally to de- I
mand No. 4 In the Union's ultimatum.
They were Tilling at first to sign the
contract if the Union had consented to
a modification of that clause, as sug
gested by them, by substituting the fol- i
lowing: I
"All workmen shall be employed as
long as there Is work for them. If busi
ness should decrease during the Winter
season then there shall be a correspond
ing reduction In the working force, em-'
Sloyees to be laid on alternately for a
ay or a week, according to the condition
of business."
The substitute was not accepted by i
the Union, and the break followed.
ATE A TOWEL AND DIED.
A Pup Furnishes n Suggestion for .
Wonlil-De Suicides.
"Skeeslcs" was the queer name of
I Druggist Forester's Irish setter pup.
lie was Brooklyn born and bred, and
was very popular In the druggist's store
flat 679 Bedford avenue. "Skeeslcs"
passed to that canine hereafter from
Iwhlch no bow-wow ere returns on Tues
day, and his taking oft was Indeed un
Btlmely, distressing and unique.
No charges are made against Druggist
Forester of neglect of the dog, but the
cold fact remains that "Skeeslcs" mus-
tlcatett a yard-long Turkish towel last
Friday, and turned up his little cush-
loned paws to the daises four days
H The druggist used the towel tor dlf-
ferent things, but principally for mop
kVplng up the overflow of the different
prescriptions he compounded. It used to
Hang on a hook behind the prescription
"ounter. The druggist missed it last
1 Friday afternoon. lie had used It about
er. minutes previous, and was per-
Mexed at Its strange disappearance.
Pour davs later "Skeeslcs" died, and
m VI r. Forester concluded to make an
lutopsy. He recovered his Turkish
.owel almost Intact, and he laid "Skee-
les" not at all gently on the placid sur-
ace of the waters of Newtown Creek.

FOUHD HIM OUT ATAFUHERAL.
JYr . Sprinf nlor AEBorts Her Hus
band Has Another Wife.
While Burying Her Child the Other
Mrs. Sprlngster Appeared.
George Sprlngster was held In the
Ewen Street Court, Williamsburg, to
day on a chnrge of bigamy, preferred
by Minnie Steer Sprlngster, to whom
he was married In 1889, when at the
time he had another wife living.
Sprlngster, according to the story told
by the complainant, has been living a J
double life successfully for five years.
He told tho woman that he was a
travelling agent, and this took him out
of the city a good part of the time. It
now appears that he spent this time
with his other wife, Kate Keller-Sprlng-ster,
who lived at 200 Ellery street. At
both places he gave his name as
Sprlngster. but at Ellery street he was
known as lullus. i
I Mrs. Minnie Sprlngster had one child,
but It died shortly before Easter, and
the funeral occurred Easter Monday,
Among the mourners was a woman, who
looked at the mother In surprise and
Anally said to her:
"There must be some mistake here.
That man over there Is Mr. Sprlngster,
but you are not his wife."
Mrs. Sprlngster protested that she was.
The two women argued the matter, and
the visitor snld she attended the fu-1
neral simply because she had seen the
funeral notice In the paper and thought
it was the child of her friend, Kate
Sprlngster. I
On the way back from the cemetery, I
Mrs. Minnie upbrnlded her husband for
his conduct and he answered that the
charges were all false and he would
proe It. Within an hour after they ar
rived home he went away, .leaving his,
wife heartbroken and penniless.
The woman has a good deal of deter
mination, however, and she decided she
would find her husband. After several
weeks she located him nt 200 Ellery
street, and Sprlngster was arrested this
morning by Officer Carroll. He had
nothing to say when arraigned In court.
IV. MR. GLAHK IS VEHYIILL.
Popular Brooklyn Pastor Has to
Abandon a Sea Voyage.
Ill Life May Depend Upon Treat
ment at Clifton Spring.
Hev. Mr. Asbury C. Clark, pastor of
the Grace Presbyterian Church, at Stuy
vesant and Jefferson avenues, Brooklyn,
was taken violently HI at his home, S15
Halsey street, this morning, and It Is
doubtful If he will be able to leave for
I Clifton Spring to-morrow, as had been
arranged. A visit to the Spring 1 re-
1 garded aa th only chance of saving tho
pastor's life.
I All arangement have been made,
however, by Q. W. F. Lake, who 'live
with Mr. Clarke, to leave with him on
the Empire State Express on the Cen
tral road to-morrow morning.
I It has been Mr. Clark's original inten-
! tion to sail Ne-v York on Saturday next
on the steamer Werra, for a trip to
the Mediterranean. If Rev. Mr. Clark
recovers under the treatment at the
Sanitarium at Clifton Springs he will
sail In the middle of June and return In
September. ,. .. .,
The utmost concern Is felt by his con
gregation over his condition. Mr. Clark
I has been suffering since last November
with an access v. men iormea on a.
duct leading from the liver. Dr. Chapln
consulted with Dr. Clark, a Baltimore
specialist, and It was decided that the
pastor would have to abandon the voy-
The doctors were reluctant to perform
an operation on Mr. Clark and advised
him to seek relief at the Clifton Springs.
The cause of the trouble. Dr. Chapln
thinks. Is overwork.
Since the pastor came from the North
Presbyterian Church. In Philadelphia,
two years ago, the 18,000 debt on the
Grace Presbyterian Church has been
paid, and the congregation, then num
bering fifty persons, has crown until
the church Is now too small for Its re
quirements. Members of the church say the trus
tees are willing to grant Rev. Mr. Clark
a year's vacation nnd pay all his trael
Ung expenses If he can be restored to
health.
If Mr. Clark does not Improve under
the treatment nt Clifton Springs, an
operation will be performed upon him
there.
The Rev. Mr. Clark is about thirty
five years old, a bachelor and a man
of fine physique.

DROPPED IN SLOT MACHINES.
Lohmann's Stealings AIbo Re
ported to Have Bun a Theatre.
The Defaulting Board of Excise
Cashier Indicted To-Day.
William D. tiohmann, the defaulting
cashier of the Brooklyn Excise Board,
who wU brought back yesterday from
Toronto, Canada, was still locked up
In Raymond Street Jail to-day. The
District-Attorney refuse to accept ball
and Lohmann's lawyer, Thoma E.
Pearsall, ha made no attempt -o bring
the matter before a Justice ot the
Supreme Court Mr. Pearsall aald thai
nothing would be done to-day, but h
might apply to have the prisoner re
leased to-morrow.
I Mr. Pearsall said he was not ready to
go on with the case Just yet The real
reason of the delay. It Is said. Is that
Lohmann haa been unable to find any
body who will go on his bond. In the
old days, when he was a factor In the
I management of the affairs of tho Ex-
J else Department, he had plenty of.
1 friends. Now that he Is a prisoner and
I a 1 a n-ltfn t-n rrrnnt fnVAPfl Vila
not In a position to grant ravors, ms
friends have deserted him.
There has been much talk aa to what
Lohmann did with all the money he Is
alleged to have stolen. There have been
hints that the money went Into the pock
ets of certain Individuals Identified with
the late "ring" administration. De
spatches from Toronto quoted Lohmann
aH threatening to make (t "hot for some
fellows In Brooklyn" when he returned.
A story which leaked out this morn
ing put another aspect on the case.
An "Evening World'' reporter was told
by a prominent police official that there
was reason to believe that Lohmann
had spent all hli available cash In push-1
Ing private enterprises.
According to the reporter's Informant, I
the defaulter was engaged In pushing
the business of an automatic coln-ln-the-slot
horse-racing machine. The Invest
ment did not pay. It Is also said that
Lohmann lost a large sum In running a
middle-class theatre In Brooklyn.
Shortly after noon to-day It leaked
out that Lohmann's case had been sub
mitted to the Grand Jury, now In ses
sion, and that two Indictments had
been found against him charging him
with grand larceny.
I A number of witnesses were examined
to-day, and other Indictments will prob
ably be found later on.

Investigating the case of Frederlo
Hughes Lloyd, who died In an ambu
lance of the Homoeopathic Hospital
yesterday, while on his way from 201
Clifton place, Brooklyn, to the hospital
on Cumberland street.
The house at 201 Clifton place Is occu
pied by Peter Fltzharrls, a trained nutse.
He sas he has known Lloyd only a
fortnight. He became acquainted In a
casual way, and Lloyd was an Inmate
of the house for but one night.
FT.. nl fcn Anllafl waa nnsl A ft At. em
Tuesday he called there, and after a
time complained of feeling HI. He was
Invited to remain all night. In the

cago Orphan Asylum. His cousin, Delia
Hughes, who Is the wife of J. J. Van
Hprn, on undertaker, of 896 Eighth ave

Island Manager's Body.

CONET ISLAND, N. T., April M.
The latest sensational gosstp among the
people of reformed Coney Island, Is the
death of Billy Island, a theatrical and
circus manager, who died here Sunday
night of pneumonia.
Ills body has been the bone of conten
tion between three women, each of whom
claimed to be his widow, while gossip
says that he had four others of the same
mind within ten miles of here who have
not yet shown up.
Besides the alleged widows, there have
been here the dead man's father, a
wealthy manufacturer near Merlden,
Conn,; his brother, Charles Island,
about to become a priest, and a sister,
all to claim the body and take It home
, for burial.
. The latter three arrived Tuesday, but
when Billy's father came In contact
with the contending alleged widows, he
Immediately left for home In disgust.
Charlps Island nnd his sister, however,
remained, and yesterday n quiet funeral
was held over the remains at the Sey
mour Club Hotel, of which the deceased
was part owner.
The body was placed In the cemetery
at Gravesend, wheie It will icmaln until
this Fall. Then the scandalized relatives
will hne the body quietly removed to
Merlden and Interred there In the fam-
ilv vnlllt.
Island attended the Slddons-Iieber set
to In New York n week ago. He caught
cold, and pneumonia resulted. Dr. Hill
attended him during his four days' Ill
ness. Nellie, a concert-hall singer, whose
other name Is unknown here, lived with
. ! land and claimed to he his wife. She
'and Swipes the Newsboy were the only
I ones presnt during the last hours of
I the dying man.
Monday night "Flossie Smith," who Is
said to be a very respectable woman, of
Brooklyn, came here and claimed to be
Island's widow.
A quarrel ensued between "Flossie
Smith1' and "Nellie." which resulted In
the temporary defeat of the former.
The following morning a young woman
with auburn hair, twenty years old, who
said she married Island In Newark, N.
J.. Feb. 8, 1891, and that she lived In
Flatbush, arrived on the scene. She
1 and "Flossie" held a council of war,
which resulted In a march to the Sey
mour Club Hotel, where Island's body
lay.
There they met Nellie, the concert
hall singer. Swipes the Newsboy was
on guard at the door to see that there
was no disturbance. The moment Nel
lie saw the new claimant a wordy war
ensued, which was loud and vltuperous.
Only the Intervention of Swipes the
Newsboy prevented a fist fight. He
boldly hustled the three women Into the
1 street and locked the corpse securely In.
Though the three women claimed to
be widows of Island, the only one who
' positively declared that she possessed a
i certificate of marriage waa Annie, the
. young, red-haired New York girl.
She Is now staying at Hunt's Highland
View Hotel
Eddie Loeber, the pugilist, who, with
I Swipes the Newsboy, asslted at the
funeral out of sympathy for Annie, pro
cured a carriage nnd she was allowed
to accompany the body to Gravesend
Cemetery. She, with the brother and
sister of the deceased, were the only
mourners.
Owing to the fact that Island died
before the arrival of a spiritual advisor,
he died without the last rites of the
Catholic Church, and In consequence
the privilege of a church burial was
denied him.
A simple prayer by Charles Island
marked the only burial ceremony at
tendant upon the funeral of one of the
best known men among concert hall
people In the country.
A large and curious crowd filled Tag
garts avenue yesterday afternoon and
raw' Island's body start for the ceme
tery. "Nellie" and "Flossie" Smith, discom
fited and weeping, stood among the
crowd, but they offered no violence.

HENNESSEY WILL APPEAL
Archbishop Will lie Asked to Alter
the Knbrls Decision.
Now that Bishop Wlgger, Judge of the
ecclesiastical trial of Father Fabrls, ot
Hoboken, on charges preferred by Itev.
Father P. Hennessey, pastor of St.
Patrick's Church, Jersey City Heights,
has decided In favor of the Hoboken
clergyman. Di. Fabrls will, If not de
tained by Archbishop Corrlgan, leave
Hoboken Immediately.
The parishioners of the Church of Our
Lady of Peace, Hoboken, are mill loyal
to their late pastor, Father Corrlgan,
and very bitter towards Dr. Fabrls,
whom they charge with being guilty
of a number of things.
The Itoman Catholics of the Newark
diocese say that the decision Is not
to the discredit of Father Hennessey,
but Dr. Fabrls's reputation was at stnke,
and It has now been Indicated. Uthers
claim, that Bishop Wlgger Is trying to
Cahcnsyllze the diocese.
An appeal will be made Immediately
to Archbishop Corilgan. Twelve people
snoio to the truth of Father Hennes
sey's accusations, while Dr. Fabrls took
the stand for himself. It Is expected
that the Archbishop will alter the de
, clslon.

NO BAIL FOR MISS DEMPSEY.
e)
But Her Lawyer May Booure
Her Release To-Day.
Warden Vox. Snyi She Seems Con
tented In JI1.
Mlis Lavlnla H. Dempscy, who 1. In
Ludlow Btreet Jail pending the deposit
of $2,00 ball bonds, had not succeeded
In obtaining the necessary documents
up to noon to-day. Bhe was arrested
Tuesday In the suit of Mies Emma L.
Kverson, typewriter In the olUce of
Miss l.avlnla's brothers, Quy C. and
John Alrd Dempsey, lawyers, with
oRlces In the Stewart Building. Miss
Uverson wants 110,000 damages for false
Imprisonment and malicious persecu
tion. Miss Dempsey refuses to accept the
aid of her brothers. Bhe says they are
in league with Miss Kverson against her.
Miss Dempsey would see no reporters
this morning, but Warden Fox sas she
teems to be perfectly contented with her
present lot, and Is showing no particular
anxiety to secure her releaie.
"We are taking good care of her." said
the Warden, 'and she Is Just as com
fortable as If jhe was In her own home.
"Of course, she had to be locked up In
her cell. Just like the other prisoners,
during the night, but she didn't seem to
mind that at all.
"This morning her lawyer, Allen Mc
Dermott, from Jersey City, came over
to see her, and they had a long talk to
gether, lie Is nlth her now, and from
what Miss Dempsey told me early this
munilng she expects to be released to
day," 'lhe ball fixed by Judge nookstaver
nas 12,000, and Miss Davlnla, who haa
plenty of money and considerable prop
erty over In New Jersey, Is determined
to accept no aid In getting out of her
present predicament, especially from
her brothers, as long as she Is able to
furnlfch the ball herself.
I.ast night her brothers visited her at
the Jail and offered to go on her bond.
It Is said, on condition that she would
sign a release to a certain mortgage
for JiO.OCO, but she Indignantly refused
to have anything to do wltn them.
At the law otrlce of the Dempsey
brothers. In the Stewart Uulldlng, this
morning, It v. as said by the clerk In
charge that they had given orders to
admit no reporters, nnd to say that
they would hao nothing more to do
with their sister's cuse. She had re
fused to accept their assistance, and as
she had retnlned a lawyer, she could
, probably take care of herself.
.Miss i:erson, the pretty typewrite!
I nnd stenographer, was on hand, and
seemed in control of things In the outer
olllce She etldently has no fear that
the Messrs. Dempsey will dismiss her
from their employ, even if their sister
does demand It.
She Is, In fact, being backed up by
them In her suit against Miss Dempsey
to this extent, 'that the became her
1 sureties on the undertaking for SX0 each
I on which their sister waa arrested.
She refused to have anything to say
I to reporters this morning In regard to
her suit Hgalnst Miss Dempsey. but It
was easy to see from her determined
air that she wus going to light It to the
bitter end Her lawyer Is Christopher
l'lne, of 111 Nassau street.
