I rntcio, July 24.-Long before the opening
hoof f tho Uotnd J109 Circuit Court this
I nornlnit the corridors of tho third floor of tho
I rrJersl building wer" tnron'e- w-tn Prons
I ltln(t t" 8,n svdmlUon to tho room where
I was to bo heard the continuation of the argu
I ment In the easeof Defcs, Howard, Kellher, and
I Hojers of the AmerlcAtUtallway Union, charged
I with contempt nt court. The doors of the court
I room were opened ten minutes before lOo'clock,
I ml In a few seconds every sent wm occrtvlcd
D and standing room wo Ml taken. About twelve
ladles relattivcs of the defendants, were admlt
I ted through a private entrance In advance of
I the main crowd.
I The defendants wero brought Into court
I shortly after the opening 'hour. Judges Woods
I sndflrosscuptook their seaU at 10:10 o'clock,
I At yesterday's session there was an Intimation
I (hut the United BUtes Court might t""dbly
I have no jurisdiction In tho case on hearing.
I While no challenge' was made,.Dtitrtct Attorney
I Mllchrlst raw fit to anticipate such this morn.
I Ing by cUlng authorities to establish tho Jurls-
I diction of the court. Mr. Mllchrlst went fur-
I ther, reviewing the Information In tho bill, ar-
I gulng that the murder and destruction of prop-
I erty In the strike was the direct outcome of the
E teaching, advice, and orders given by Debs and
I his associates subsequent to the Issuanco of a
I restraining ordor by the Court. Mr. Mllchrlst
I said ho had never known of a contempt case
I being tried by a Jury, and the fact that an In
dictment stands against the defendants for the
act which constitute tho contempt was their
misfortune and not for the consideration of tho
Court.
Attorney Erwln.(for the defence, followed tho
District Attorney.' He first spoke on the de
fendant' answer as final, awl denied tho right
of the prosecution to chnllcngo It. If the an
swer lie untrue, as Is charged, ho said, tho only
course Is a supplemental suit for perjury. Mr.
Erwln oltcd two cases similar to the one In hand
where It was decided that testimony was not
admissible after tho flllng of an answer to a
charge of contempt.
Judgo Woods hero asked the attorney If he
thought a supplementary suit for perjury would
vindicate the dignity of the Court.
Mr. Erwln replied that tho contempt was
purged when an answer of denial was filed, and
that a further action would bo separate and
distinct. He then handed to tho Courtacaro
fully prepared abstract of the allegations set
torth In the bill, with tho defendants' answers
to each Immediately following.
Judge Woods had numerous questions to ask
concerning the answer (lied. He seemed to
think It was an Ingeniously worded document,
which might mean much or little. Ho wanted
to know If it was not Insufficient nnd should not
show the connection of the defendants with the
telegrams and acts set forth, and If there was
not some one nuthorlied who did sign the namo
of E. V. Debs to telegrams.
Mr. Erwln replied that the Information was
very vague and called for no explanations, to
which the Judge replied:
"If you had asked to have the Information
made more specific I should have sustained you
If I thought ft to your Interests."
"We moved to quash in preference, your
Honor." Mr. Erwln said. " When It is shown
that the Government had every opportunity of
falning possession of all the facts ana it onngs
o you an Incomplete. Insufficient, and vague In
formation, such as furnished here, does It not
Mamp It as a badgo of hnste and presumtlon ?
Not only this, Tut they were in such a
hurry that they asked for and received
an attachment direct when they should have
ihtalned an order to show cause. Is this
I'fitirt going to bo asked to play the part of a
Master In chancery or the part of a prying de
tective to go out into tho byways hunting In
formation nhlch the Government should have
rathered before ltdared to come before you? If
he Government, however, now desires to with
draw its Information and file full particulars,
MrrHancroftof the Santa Fe Railroad began
Jn argument as soon as Mr. Erwln hail finished,
lo reviewed mainly the ground that had al
ready been traversed, and .was still talking at
12:4(, when court was declared adjourned until
""ntn afternoon Mr. Bancroft continued his
citations. After he hod finished Mr. Meeting
spoke for the defendants. He scored Mr. Pull-
Smnn and laid to his, record the bloodshed and
destruction that In the bill of complaint Is at
tributed to Debs. The attorney made fun of
the charges, and said the Government attorneys
were grabbing at straws. He discovered, he
said, that in the bill of complaint there was not
even a single allegation to show that the of
fences charged .were committed within the
Jurisdiction of the Court or even within the
United States. If brought to It. the Bpeakcr
said, the defendants would go so far as to claim
that the Judge hail no Jurisdiction either when
he signed the injunction, and It would be set
lcle on that ground.
It was Just 4 o'clock when tho arguments
were concluded, and It took the Judges lust three
minutes to decide on the question of the admis
sibility of testimony, which is the only one they
ooneldercd. . .... . , .1 ..
" While the case has criminal characteristics."
said Judge Woods. it Is nevertheless a case In
quit j . and w e hold thot the defendants' answer
Is not conclusive. I want to be nut of the city,
however, anil as the taking of testimony will re
quire perhaps two or three weeks, I feel Inclined
to refer the case to a master In chancery.
This the attorneys on both sides opposed. .Dis
trict Attorney Mllchrlst said that he could nut
hi evidence In before to-morrow night. Judge
Orosscupsaiil he must mean a week from to
morrow night. After numerous suggestions and
promises to hasten the case. Judge Woods said
lie would begin hearing testimony to-morrow
morning, but reserved the right to still refer It
If he foupd that it wait going to tako too much
time to conclude It. ....
The District Attorney seemed to be alarmed
at a postponement of tho case, saying th.it.the
men would continue to cause trouble. "Now,
If these iieople would call off the strike," he
said, "ft would show their good faith and I
would think, perhaps, that they were not really
In contempt of court."
The Judge took occasion to worn the de.
fendants that If they continued to Interfere
with the employees of the railroads, even by
advice, It would be very hard for them In case
they were adjudged guilty of contempt. The
court was adjourned at 4:110 o'clock until to
I morrow.

Although Deb is undoubtedly popular In labor

No Cine to the Mystery of Little Albert t .
Kdaett'a Death.
Vo cine that leads to anything definite ha
yet appeared In the case of Albert E. Edrett,
the four-months-old child who died of
carbollo acid poisoning In the Hospital for
Women and Children, In Pacific street,
Brooklyn, on Baturday morning. The
nurses In the hospital are completely at
a loss to account for tho occurrence, and
the police. If they know anything about it,or sus
pect anyone, havo not made the fact public.
One thing only appears to be rertatnt that lav
somo porson or persons gave the baby a dose of
carbollo acid on Friday afternoon while the
nurses were busy elsewhere.
Ilrlefly, the facts of the case are a follows:
The child had been sickly since IU birth In the
hospital four months ago. A week ago tho
mother, who live at H38 Bergen street, brought
it back to tho hospital to bo treated for cholera
infantum. Its father, who Is her husband by a
common law marriage In New Jersey, disap
peared, Mrs. Ednett says, a month Wore the
child's birth, and sho has not heard of him
since. Tho child was put In a room on tho
ground floor of the hospital, where there are
several halls with doors that are kept open on
hot days.
On Friday all the doors are open, making in
gress nnd egress easy to any one. In tho room
with the baby were another baby and an 11-year-old
girl. The nurses are constantly pass
ing In and nut of the room. In one end of the
room Is the medicine closet, where carbollo
acid, among other things. Is kept. Miss Mack,
tho superintendent, has solo ncces to this closet.
It Is ale ays kept locked except at such times aa
she Is at tho place.
On Friday morning the Ednett baby had been
taken out on the grounds, and stayed there un,
til U P. M, For n short tlmo thereafter tho
nurses were busy preparing for an operation:
the clevcn-ycar-old girl was out In the garden,
nnd nobody, as far as Is known, was In the room
with Itaby Ednett except another very young
lioby. During that time, It Is supposed, tho
poison was administered.
When Miss Mark returned to tho room sho
heard the child coughing like a strangling per
son. An examination showed that the Inside of
tho mouth was burned, and tho smell of carboUo
acid wits very strong. It was also found that
the poison hall run down over tho baby's neck
and untoward tho eye In two Hoes, as If the
poliMinliad leen given to tho child while It was
turned on Its sldu.
Dr. Clark was at once called, and, with other
doctors, worked hard over tho little patient.
When It was evident that the baby was rallying
from the primary effectsof the poison tho nurses
and doctors hoped that It would recover, but It
succumbed to tho secondary' effects and died
rarlySaturday mnrntng.and Miss Mack believes
that had the child been strong It would have
recovered. Sot a drop of the poison had reached
the stomach, as the autopsy snowed.
Miss Mack, after sending notice to the Coro
ner, Interrogated Miss McCutcheon, Miss Cash,
and Miss Matcher, tho three nurses who had
chargo of tho baby. None of them could throw
any light on the matter. None of them had
used carbolic acid that day, and. Indeed, thern
was none that was attainable by them except a
bottlo In the bathroom up stairs, which was
found covered with dust.
The affair began to assume the aspects of a
mystery. On Sunday morning Dr. ClayUnd
wrformed an autopsy. He believes that tho
carbolic ncld used was nearly pure. hen Mrs.
Ednett came, on being summoned to the side of
the dying child, sho had a theory to offer.
" Some one must havo come in from outsldn
and done It." she sold. "Any one might come
In here. 1 know It's so, for one day I came In
nnd saw baby anil went away without any ono
seeing me."
Sirs. Ednett could think of no person who
would have been likely to come In in broad day
light to poison her child. It is possible that a
hair-wtttra woman paueni, who iinu ireo acrnw
to the room, having seen the nurses administer
medicine, undertook to follow their example,
using carbollo ncld as the medicine.
It Is difficult to see, however, where she could
have procured any of tho acid. A curious cir
cumstance is that no tracea of tlie poison could
be found on the child's clothing, or the bed
clothes, though both were subjected to a minute
examination. All the patients, too, who might
have been in the room were questioned and ex
amined, particularly the weak-minded woman,
without result. The theory that the poison was
administered while tho child was out In the gar
den is not regarded as sound, since It was an
hour after the child's return that any suffering
was noticed. . . . M .,
Four theories ar now the subject of police
meditation. One t that anune in the hospital
gave carbollo acid by mistake, the second is that
some outsider gave poison to tho baby, while it
was In the garden, tho third is that another
iwtient, in a fit of mental aberration, adminis
tered the acid, and tho fourth Is that some per
son Interested in the death of the child quietly
entered the place, gave the poison to the baby,
and went out again unobserved.
Of late the nurse In the hospital have been
annoyed and frightened by people lurking about
tho grounds anil trying the windows. One of
the nurses recently left on this account. Only a
few nights ago Miss Mack saw some one loafing
about In the garden, but on seeing her the per
son disappeared. There are no men in the
building, and not even a dogaaa guardian for
the women there. ........
A Coroner' Jury decided last night that the
linby hail "como to Its death by carbolic acid,
administered by jwrsons unknown." Mrs. Ed
nett. when she heard the verdict, became so
angry sho could hardly control herself, bhe
said the Jury w-as no good.
" Why." said Mrs. Ednett, "did you hear that
nurse Just say that she didn't care what tho
Jury said, and that It was a shame to have to
i-ome here and spend the evening listening to a
lot of talk about a baby.
" When my baby died. I went home. I came
hack to see about getting it buried, and they
slammed the door In ray fare and said I hadn t
enough money to bnry the child. I did. though,
and fmade them take the body up after they
had burled It, and last Thursday I had It placed
In Linden Cemetery. . , .
" I will make It hot for them yet. Why. don't
they say they left my little one two hours by
himself, right where any one could walk In
from the street and do him harm ? Is that the
right way to take rare of a four-months-old
Coroner Kene said he thought the acid had
leen given to the baby by some one In the bos-'
pltal.

There wa a child's funeral In the Italian quar
ter of Elizabeth street at noon yesterday that
was attended with all the pomp peculiar to the
locality. Thousands of Italian swarmed Into
the street to see the white hearse drawn by tour
white horses, preceded by a brass band, and fol
lowed by a long string of carriages. Carmela
Belast, the 10-year-old daughter of Antonio
Relasl, a fruit dealer at Delancey and Norfo.k
street, watched the spectacular procession from
the window of her father's home on the second
floor of the flat at 108 Elizabeth street. Car
mela's mother, Teresa, was In one of the car.
rlages.
Carmela knew the dead child and had
Intended to go to the funeral herself, but her
lover besought her to stay at home. This lover
was Oluseppe Costantlno, a nineteen-year-old
bootblack, who lives at 340 Mott street. Giu
seppe Is a dark-skinned, clean-shaven Italian of
muscular build. He told Carmela that another
girl had told htm that sombody was going to
kill his sweetheart.
Just after the mourners had returned from
the funeral Costantlno crept stealthily Into his
sweetheart's room, shot her through the heart,
and tried to kill himself. The murder was com
mitted in cold blood, without warning to the
victim. Costantlno' manner lmd been friendly
when he saw tho girl at 10 o'clock In the morn
ing and pleaded with her not to go to too
funeral. He wa to have married her next
Christmas Day, and ho ucd to visit her every
other day.
Carmela'e father and mother hod locked tho
door and had gone down Into the rear court
yard to chat with the neighbors, and Carmela
had gone to sleep. Costantlno skulked around
the tenement, waiting a chance to get to the
Belasls rooms. Tho chanco camo at a o'clock,
when Vlncenzo Romanlo, the girl's grand father,
went up to tho apartments to get somo salad.
He Is a vegetable dealer, and hod kept his stock
In the front room, which Is used as imrlor. din
ing room, nnd extra sleeping room. Without
tho old man's knowledge Costantlno crept up
after him. and slipped Into Carmela' bedroom.
He had a cheap aH-callbre American bulldog
revolver In his hand. ....
Romanlo, who was stooping under a table to
get his salads, was startled by threo pistol shots
In rapid succession. Carmela gave a wild scream
and ran Into the front room with blood pouring
from her breast. She fell dead beside a bureau,
upon which stood a miniature of her lover In a
silver frame resting agatnat a crucifix. Co
stantlno fell heavily upon the bedroom floor,
with blood spurting from a wound In his throat.
He hail shot himself Immediately under the
Adam's apple, and lost consciousness Instantly
Hundreds of tenants who dwell in the crowd
eil tenement heard the scream .and tho pistol
shot and they dashed Into tho hnuso In a mad
rush. In a few minutes the whole Italian colony
wm In an uproar, and It was a long time before
the police could gain control of the frenzied
mob of men and women. Tho women fought
desperately to get Into the room and sec the
dead girl. They had to bo beaten back with
force. , . ...
Some of the women were carried out bodily
from the room by the police. Carmela's father
and mother were In a frenry of griff. They beat
their hands and tore their hair, and beat the 11
upon which the girl's body had been lifted. Sho
wa a dark-haired girl with an olivo complex
ion and rather pleasant features.
Half a hundred men and women wero crowded
around shouting and screaming denunciations
upon the unconscious murderer, who was re
moved later on to St. Vincent's Hospital, the
police standing guard over the surgeons and the
murderer whllo he was borne down the narrow
stairs on a litter. A thousand men and women
were Jammed in the roadway arounu tne tene
ment. They were all shouting and gesticulating
wildly. Grandfather Itomanio was locked up
In the Mulberry street station. He was the only
ono who was present t the murder.
Detective Hloano was busy for hours with In
terpreters getting the story of the murder. Tho
dead girl's father said ho believed that tho
murder was prompted by Jealousy. It appears
that Costantlno saved considerable money. Ho
went liack to Italy last year to see his relative
and returned with all his sa Ings spent. He had
been doing but little since, and his sweetheart
parents hail objected to his attentions to
Carmela. This angered Costantlno,who said that
when he was well off there had been no opposi
tion to the proposed marriage.
Costantlno recovered consciousness after being
in tho hospital a few hours. 1 he house surgeon
asked him why he had killed his sweetheart.
" I donta know why I kllla," he said, and re
fused to talk any further. ...
The bullet with which he shot himself
passed upward. The surgeons could not find
It and they think that It must have entered his
mouth and that he coughed It up. It was said
at the hospital late last night that Cootantino
had a slight chance of recovery. He Is a
prisoner at the hospital with a policeman on
guard near him.
Detective Hloane found five empty cartridges
In Costantlno's revolver and picked up a bullet
on the floor In the Bflasl apartments. Only
three shots were heard in the tenement, and the
police believe that two of the cartridges in the
revolver were flreil before Costantlno entered
tho tenement.

an Italian laborer, was Instantly killed by an
explosion of dynamite In the stone quarry of
John Wahl, on the side of the Watchung Moun
tains, three miles from Plalnfleld, yesterday
aftermon. He was employed to Hast rock, and
had prepared two cartridges with fuses fixed so
that one would explode half a minute after the
other. The other men sought safety In a shanty,
and Dlnlozio, a was his custom, remained out
side to light the fuses and run to safety.
The men noticed that a longer Interval than
usual elapsed between the explosions of the
charge, and on going out found Dlnlozio lying
dead near the last blast. It is probable that he
leaned over the charge to fix a defective fuse,
when It exploded. He was 38 years old, and
lived with his mother and two brothers. Hi
wife and a blind child are in Italy, whence
Dlnlozio came two year ago.

Lanly llyan, who Is a well-known resident of
tho Fourth Assembly district, of whose Tam
many organization ho has long been a member,
Is not on neighborly terms with Jacob Osnowltz,
a wealthy dealer In rags, who about a year ago
put up a factory on the east side of Ryan's
house at 281 Madison street,
Ryan retired several years ago from the paper
stock business, and spends most of hi time at
the Tammany headquarters, the Bt. Mary
Club, and the Oriental Shuffle Board Club. Ho
prides himself on being a Arm stickler for his
rights.
Whllo Osnowltz was putting up the factory
Rj an kept a trurk standing In front of his door,
that the space might not be used by tho builders.
Osnowltz' factory Is seven stories high and Is
tho full length of his lot.
Four of tho stories are atmve the Ryan house,
and the rear of the faotory has four windows
on cacli 'floor which look Into the ltyan yard,
neatly kept In graee and flowers. About the
first tenant Mr. Osnowlta got took the first floor
for a combined livery stable nnd undertaking
establishment. The nelghlwrs got Up a petition,
but It had no efTect. Tho rest of the building Is
occupied by about 160 tailors. There aro no
living quarters except on the Janitor' floor, the
second story, where a sort of grocery and mild
drink shop Is run. .... ... ... .
Laniy Ryan says that bottles and other refuse
were thrown Into his yard from tho window of
tho grocery nnd spools and tailor's trimming
from the other windows. One day, when there
was a yacht race, hit son and two children of
ex-Alderman Daniel Dowllng. who lives on the
west side of the Ryan house, were each
racing a caterpillar up a tree, naming them alter
tho yachts, and a shower of heavy spools came
down, which Just missed tho children. Ryan
told Osnowltz that ho must putscreensln the
forty-six west sldo windows, but lie didn't do It.
Ryan also complained thathlsbutldlngextended
mrtf tMl.- nwM- tl.i. Una nnrf thnt. fhn IlrlirV
shutters swung Into his lot, Osnowltz took the
mstter a a Joke. .... . .
Early In tho morning of July 4 every one but
tho Janitor was out of the Osnowltz building,
Imtl-nnty Ran hail more than patriotic ob
servance on hand. He got tho firm of Corbctt &
Patterson to put an Immense telegraph .polo up
In front of ono series of windows and before
each window ho nailed boards to tho pole. He
shut off nil tho windows on his side of tho first
floor by smnll poles, nnd In each case saw that
the Iron shutters were first closed.
Tho work proceeded until twelve windows
wero shut off from light nnd air. When the
tenants and their workmen returned to wwk on
the morning of July fl there was agrenthubbub,
which Lnnty heard as ho smoked a cigar on his
Iwick veranda. They had to dtspenso with ono
tailor lbr every window closed on the upper
floor. . . ....
Last Saturday week Osnowltz got a tempora
ry Injunction from Judge Glldersloeve of the
Superior Court preventing Ryan from closing
any more windows. Ryan got David McClure
to champion his cause, and. after an argument
before Judgo Dugro yesterday, the Court held
that Ryan was acting within tho law, and the
temporary Injunction was .dissolved.
On the argument Alfred Steckler. counsel for
Osnowltz, said that Ryan was making a bluff to
get Osnowltz to buy his property for more than
it was worth. Ryan w as at tho Oriental Shuffl;
Board Club last night. Ho sold that he had
never offered to sell his property to -Osnowltz,
but admitted ho hail snld that money would not
stand In the way of enforcing what lie consid
ered his rights. He added:
"It won't do htm any good to nut up screens
now, 1 hove gone to too two much expense and
trouble. I have ordered more telegraph poles,
and directed Corbett & Patterson to close up
tho rest of tho forty-six windows."

The Attorney-General Decides far Them la
the Town Hoard Matter.
Nr.wToww, L. I., July 24. Thero Is much re
joicing by the Democratlo members of the de
moralized Town Board, who were displaced by
tho decision of County Judge Gnrrettson, over
tho decision by Attorney-General Hancock In
their fa or. The decision declares that tho Re
publican members aro usurping the places
wrongfully, and that County JuilguOarrettson's
appointment of Harry Skelton as citizen mem
bcr was Illegal. It further asserts that Joseph
Mcyerosc, the citizen member of last year,
whom the Republican Board refuse to recognize
as such. Is the lnwful official.
Tho fight dates back, to the spring election,
when two Democrats and" two Republicans w ere
chosen, making the Town Hoard, which Is com
posed of five members, a tie, tho fifth member
being appointed by a malorltr of, the llgsnl. He
Is called the citizen member. The Democrat
alleged that Joseph Meyerose, who was appoint-,
ed last year by the Democrats, held over, and
hail a legal right to vote and act until his suc
cessor Hliould bo appointed. The Republican",
on tho other hand, asserted that Supenlsor
Slebs, who Is a Republican and was the Chair
man. hail the power to select n meiuW
when the Hoard Btood a tie. Finally eacli
side appointed an additional member, nnd
while the Democrats held meetings and
conducted the affairs of the town In one room
tho Republican would assemble In anothvr
room of the Town Hall and transact business to
suit them'tlves. This lasted for three or four
weeks. Charles Sneller. tho Democratic Clerk,
was In possession of tho books and papers of tho
town. These he refused to deliver to the Re
publicans until compelled to do so by Justice
Cullen's decision In the Supreme Court In Brook
1 11. When the Democrats saw they were beaten
they appealed to lawyer Edwards, who for.
warded tho details to Attorney-General Han
cock. The latter now ailvNes that he begin quo
warranto proceedings Wore the SupromeCourt
tushowcaui-e why the Republicans should not
lw removed. In the mean time the Republicans
hold full sway of the administration of town
affairs. County Judge Garrettwui appointed
Hnrry Skelton as clllren member, and tho Board
apiKifnted Joseph Cleary and John Handover to
burial permit collectorshlps. t o of the fattest
plums of the town. Martin Wise, the Demo
cratic collector, refuitnl to vacate his office when
Sniidnrcr, his successor, came to take charge of
It. Mr. Wine was thrown lxllly out of the of.
flee. He was alto orrested anil placed under
Ixincls. He has liegun proceedings against the
Republican Hoard for SS.000 damages for lelng
Illegally ejected, and the pro'pects are now In
his favor. , ,
The Democrats nro wearing a large ; smile
also over the fact thnt tho Republicans
have been working like beaver straightening
out the accounts of the town for the lost two
months, for which they won't get a cent. They
w III also hnve to account for a large portion of
the $.'13,000 which Is taken In for burial permit
every year, as the Democratlo members assert
they don't know where the money has gone.
It Is also said on good authority that an expert
accountant will bo employed to examine the
books.

jorities fr tho Article or tha Bill.
Paris, July 24. The discussion of the'antl
Anarchist bill In the Chamber of Deputies to
day was marked by a number of stormy scene.
The troubte began tho moment the fourth artl
cto was reached, the second and third articles
having previously been passed without difficulty.
The,fourth article provide that Anarchist Im-
prlsoned Under the bill shall bo kept In solitary
confinement. ,
The article wa strongly opposed by MM.
Ungues and Mlllerand, Radicals, and Sembat,
Socialist. A number of cases wero Instanced
by tho speakers in which Insanity had resulted
from solitary confinement. In the course of his
speech M. Bembat declared that President Ca.
tmlr-Psrler mutt have advised the Government
to assume an Inflexible attitude against any
amendment to the bill.
Tho members of the Centre protested against
this remark, and the President of the Chamber
forbade speakers to Introduce M. Caslmtr
Pericr's name, declaring It to be unconstitu
tional. M. Mlltcntbd contradicted the Presi
dent and challenged his ruling.
Premier Dupuy refuted tho suggestion that
the Government bail been' advised as to their
course by anybody. The Ministers, he declared,
were free men. This declaration was loudly ap
plauded by the members of the Centre.
After rejecting an addition proposed by M.
Rouanet, Socialist, making false denunciation
punishable, the Chambor adopted tho fourth
article by a vote of 336 to mi.
Tho' fifth article, which forbids tho reporting
of trials by the press, was then taken up. M.
Dejeante, Revolutionary Socialist, In opposing
tho artlclo dubbed the bill the work of a
canaille, and said that the Anarchist scare wa
made use of to strangle the republic.
M. Denecheau, Republican, declared that tho
fifth article w as an absurd ono unless all foreign
newspapers containing the reports In question
were to 00 seized on crossing the French fron
tiers. The bill revealed, he said, a spirit of
hatred and rovenge agnlnst the press.
M. Oucrin, Minister of Justice, interrupted to
say that venders of foreign newspapors contain
ing reports forbidden by the artlclo under dis
cussion would bo prosecuted.
At this point M. Lockroy. Radical, Jumped
up and exclaimed : "Do you think that you can
terrorize the press You are reverting to the
worst practice of the Empire."
M. Denolx, Republican, sneered at Journalism,
saying that It was a trade, not a profession.
This remark elicited a chorus of protesting
"Oh's" from the press gallery. Theso ezpres
slons were. Immediately followed by a burst of
applause from the Socialists, and the confusion
became general.
Tho acting President, Vice-President do Many,
ordered that the press gallery be cleared. This
was done, but several members of tho press re
fused to go voluntarily and they were rerao-cd
forcibly. The confusion was so prolongod thnt
several members demanded that the sitting bo
suspended.
51. Humbert. Soclollst. held that the expul
sion of tho Journalist from tho press gallery
was perfectly proper, and. in fact, necessary to
the dignity of tho Chamber.
Vice-President de Mahy said that the noise In
tho galleries could not bo allowed under any cir
cumstances, and that members of the press, of
all others, ought to set a better example than
that or violating one of the plain rules of tho
Chamber, . .... ,.,
A vote was taken on the motion to suspend tho
sitting, and It was rejected. 348 to 120.
M.de Mahy said thatthe President's authority
being obeyed, the members of the press would
be allowed to reenter the press gallery. Tho
reporters were sulky, however, and remained In
the lobbies, where they excitedly discussed the
situation with a number of Deputies.
When U10 delmte was resumed, speeches
against the article were made by M. de Katnel,
tvmservntlve, and M. Isamliert. Republican.
Then M. Grousset, Radical, proposed an amend
ment that reports of trials lie published In the
Official Journal. France, lie said, was making
herself the laughing stock of Europe. The
amendment was rejected.
A similar fate liefel un amendment offered by
tho Socialist Vivlanl, whlc li M. Goblet warml
supported, limiting the Judges' power to forbid
publications. Similar amendments were offered
by MM. Mlllerand. de Ramcl. and (liquet, all of
which were rejected. Finally the first para
graph of articles, forbidding publication, wa
carried by a vote of :r.M to 15T. The paragraphs
enacting the penalties will be discussed to-mor-

season at Bushy Hall, near Hampton court. In
an Interview to-day the Infanta said that the
English climate suited her and family during
the summer and autumn better than the heat of
Spain, enabling them to enjoy greater freedom
of outdoor life. She rides out In tho morning,
plays tennis until luncheon, and drives out In
the afternoon, all of which, she said, she would
lie unable to do during the hot months In Spain.
The state of her health demands that she shall
live In a mild climate where she shall not be
subjected to extreme heat.
Princess Kulalla said that any suggestion that
sho was not on the best of terms with all of her
relatives was ridiculously false.

TUE VVBLICAX TO THE BAPTIST,
Morris Tcknlsky Taken Vp the In of Con
troversy with a Wonted Hand.
Besides selling liquor nfid balling out bartcn
ders on Sundays, reciprocally with Andy Horn,
Morris Tekulsky cultivates his mind, nnd Is no
slouch nt making a speech, or writing for tho
press either. He read this Item In the BJpflrt
Examiner tho other day I
Morris Tekulsky, by tbc grace of Tammany
Hall, and to the disgrace of the State of New
York, representative of tho liquor dealers In the
Constitutional Convention, has proposed an
amendment to the Constitution In the Interest
of his constituent providing " that the Legisla
ture shall jiass no bill In relation to the regula
tion of places of public amusement, or any busi
ness or occupation, or the structure, build
ing, or any property used therefor, or
tli persons or corirntlons engnged there
In. in nny city, but It shall delegate
by general laws to the legislative lmdy of all
cities the right to do so." What tho effect of this
amendment would be If Incorporated Into tho
organic law of theState.may lw Judged from tho
composltlonof the New York Boanlnf Aldermen,
cloven of the thirty-one memliors of which. In
cluding the VIcc-rrosldent, are liquor dealers,
and seven, according to the City Directory, lmvo
no occupation. There Is, however, wo are glad
to believe, no likelihood that this preposterous
amendment will be adopted by. tho Convention.
On reading this Mr. Tekulsky took his pen and
sat down quickly and wrote this reply:
To tht FaUIot 0 fa Rramlnrr.
Hilt: A friend has called my attention to an
artlclo of yours. In which you speak against
ono of my proposed amendments to the State
Constitution. . ...
If. because I am tho representative of one of
tho largest business Interest In the country, I
nm thought to lie a fair target for the personal
slur In your eilltorlnl of Juno in. I can afford to
pass It In silence, thougn I can but wonder If for
n similar reason you would so allude to Mr.
Havcmcyer, the representative of the sugar In
terests, or Mr. Rockefeller, the head of the great
Oil Trust. . ...
My concern Is with the amendment, and I beg
your consideration of tho following. Thu
amendment which I hail tho honor to propose,
and of which you only quote a port, Is aa fol
lows: Mr. Tekulsky here quotesthe entire section of
the Constitution as he would have It amended.
The amendment which he complains tho hi
omliier failed to call attention to was ono pro
hibiting the passage of private or local bills
"relating to street Improvements, docks, parks,
public or private buildings, assessments, rollee
tlon of taxes, salaries, or choice of officials In
any city." His letter proceeds as follows:
You will si'o then that tho wholo purpose of
the proposition Is to secure homo rule under
general laws fair to all alike and to stop tho con
stant changes, tinkering, and alterations by the
Legislature at Albany of cltr rule and Govern
ment, You certainly must be aware that under
the existing order, tho modifications nnd radical
Interferences nt Albany at tho behest of tho
changing political powers ore a ineiinco to sta
bility In government nnd n constant source of
temptation to trading partisan.
I have been led to suppose thnt self govern
ment was a cardinal doctrine among the Bap
tists, nnd If It Is found to bo so advantageous or
Is adopted as fundamental In religious nfiulrs,
why should It be less precious in civil govern
ment.
I shall never ceaso to regret my business rela
tions If they can be used to blind thinking peo
ple to what I believe to be ono of the noblest of
principles, underlying as It does our whole his
tory as a free people.
Tills Idea that the city should lie Independent
In Its local affairs, under general laws, should
only need a public hearing to secure public en
dorsement. The wonder Is that w 0 havo so long
submitted to tho pernicious, disastrous, and
humiliating course we have so long lieen led In.
Your allusion to tho Aldcnueiiofthlsclty.lt
seems to mc. must have been thoughtlessly writ
ten. TJiey ore elected by the people. If they
hail the power, to at In aerordanco with tho
spirit of th proposed amendment to the State
Institution nnd abused that iiower, how long
do you suppose thev would remain In office?
Give the cltj the possibility of self-gnernment,
let It assume Oie responsibility of Its own man
agement, nnd full) understand that It alone Is
unsnernhlo for its own surety, its nun reputa
tion. Its own property valuation, and the process
of righting mismanagement and wrong will be
both informing, beautiful, and speedy.
Aro you afraid to trust the people? Do you
think they do not know what they want? Do
you think the Inexperienced gentlemen from
the rural dlstrlctaaro likely to know more and
lietter than we kuow ourselves? Do you not
think they havo meddled and traded and
tinkered with the affairs of tho metropolis for
time already much too long? No one thing has
been so meretricious in the existing order of our
economy a special and class legislation. Our
statute books are loaded with enactments of
thlsrhnracter.
I would gladly call your attention tonnother
amendment, which I hail the honor to propose.
It Is In the interest of the widows and orphans
In this State: Indeed, It Is In the Interest of hu
manity, and U Insist upon breaking down the
absurd and contemptible practice of putting tho
uniform valuation of J5.000 upon human life,
sacrificed often by greed and carelessness.
Surely you will agree with me, notwithstanding
my business, that lids great outragt. upon hu
man rights and llfe.baa been borne long enough,
I lieg you to champion this cause at least,
and if you cannot approve of thu
right which I liellevo we ought to de
mand, of governing ourselves, nu surely
will assist In affirming thnt whoever Is re
sponsible for the destruction of u human life,
shall In some adequate and reasonable way
make reparation forlt, I am alunthe proposer of
an amendment to do uway entirely with pool
selling and Imok making at race tracks anil of
this gambling everywhere In tho State. One of
your own preacher lmldl) advocated this meas
ure In his pulpit, although It was mine. I
offered him an opimrtunlty to lw heard at
Albany In favor of this cause, but ho could not
find tho time. Surely I can rnly upon your aid
In this most Important work fur manhood and
good government. , ,
I believe, Mr. Editor, that principles aro more
than men, that aoi!io"cood ran come" even
"outof Nazareth," that the peoulo aro sover
eign, and can be trusted to rule themselves
righteously and equitably, and that nothing In
the world Is so precious a human life. I have
the honor to be. respectfully j ours.

white hair and long white whiskers went Into
Drake' grocery to make some purchases. The

the country was going to the dogs, Dobson anld
he thought President Cleveland was responsible
for the stagnation In liusmess. Drake, who Is a
bitter enemy of the local Democracy, declared
Cleveland was all right, but that the country
was ruled by rentiers. He couldn't get any pro
tection. Dobson replied that the manufacturer
needed protection but the tradesmen did not,
and that they were robber themselves. The
discussion ended In one or the other of the men
calling his opponent a liar.
When the lie was git en and some other strong
language used Drake picked up an inktand and
threw the contents Into the face of llolivin,
Dobmin's whiskers. hlr, and light clothes were
drenched. He fled when the Ink hit him.
A short time afterward he returned and.
picking up a pall which Hood In tho store, threw
It at Drake. It mll Its mark and crashed
through a window. Drako picked up the. empty
ink well and ran after iKibMOn. who wa again
running away. Out-lde lb tore he hurled It
at hlra. but did not hit luiu. l).iliin. finding
himself apparently out of danger, turned and
taunted Drake alwut his poor marksmanship.
According to Dobson' slory. Drake then sot
upon him and beat him and lore hi clothes.
Drake denies this. ... .
Drake w as arrwted yesterday afternoon and
arraigned before Justice Bernard Mullln. He
was held on hi own recognlznce for trial on
