I !$P rumor that the writer of the anonymous letters
if j .?J to tbo Wilsons had come to his rescue. It Is
I j S belloved that Sugden knows something about
i .1 L the authorship of these letters, and every effort
ff f, will be made to get a confession from him. lie
I I g declined to tell where tho letter ho got In court
1 & yesterday was from, and Mr. Purdy when
j questioned smiled significantly and said:
1 i "Sugden can hare lawyers by the doren If he
J J 3 wants them."
j(1 Nolthcr Mr. Nleoll nor Mr. Wilson ave much
J thought to tho letter Incident. They think It
,; j. ',C qulto possible that Sugden knows something
:, 't !2 about the authorship of the letters, but they
doubt that the mystery will ever be cleared up
? i through him.
f r Lawyer Noah protested against tho charge of
burglary made against Sudden. Ho said that
, J S the charpo should be larceny, If anything. Sua-
j ; den did not break Into Ihinkor Wilson's house.
i : he said, but walked In and out again without In-
I f terfcrcnoe, although his presence thero was
X known. Dotcctlvo Flay testified that Sugden
i had confessed tho robbery to him, and had said
v ' that ho entered tho house by lifting the latch
i of the basement door. Magistrate Cornell ruled
; ft that this was sufllclent to warrant his holding
J ft Bugdon on tho charge of burglary. Sugden en-
I w tercd a ploa of not prullty.
ft Tho fairy story told by Inspector O'Brien as to
i : the capture of Sugden was exploded yesterday
j X by Lawyer Noah, Sugden's counsel.
J ) ft While O'Brien was tolling reporters on Tues-
1 j ay night how his detectives had worked tho
- X case up ngalnat Bugden, Detective Flay, the
L J H chief sleuth, added exciting Incidents to the
; jf teJe when his chief ran short. Flay told how
; i ,: he had workod up the caso against Sugden, and
C si; had anally clinched matters by getting his own
'. "A daughters llHiire. whoso name is also Albert
j ;. fr Bugden. to represent hlminlf to tho prisoner as
I a relative and extort a lotifosslon from him. It
-J was a marvellous talo of heady detective wort,
.' ; g and made Flay out R sleuth ot the first wator.
, S As n matter of fact, Sugden walked right Into
l A the hands of the polite. Be did It volun-
j ' ij tariiy. end It ho hadn't the police would have

,i i a a promised reward for services In trying to find
i ' 1,1 out who had written the anonymous letters,
," j A mot In Lawyer Noah's ofllce a crook known as
'' . 4 "Diamond Bill" Williams. Williams had just
' i J- been releascil from jail, and he and dugden be-
k I yi came qulto friendly. Sugden dually told WII-
V A Hams that ho had a lot of valuable Jewelry In a
!' , a safe deposit vault In Jersey City, and wanted to
. $ know if Williams could tell htm a safe man to
!' ;? sell It to. About this time Detective Flay was
-,: put on the case, lie examined all of the ser-
'. i vants In the Wilson house, and. as Sugden had
. $ so recently left the tmnker's employ, cross-ques-'
- t? tloned him, too. Sugden, with the rest of the
a ir servants, was exonerated.
' ? '- In the meantime Williams hod confided what
y 'i Sugden had told him to Lawyer Noah. Mr.
iK? Noah Immediately jumped to the conclusion that
V, the Joweld were thoso that had been stolen from
' J, ff Mr. Wilson, and rvaolvcd to do what he could to
t ? y have them restored to thelrowner. Attbesamo
"Ei time he wanted to protect Sugden; so he went
'; iy,, down and told Mr. Klcoll what he had learned,
rV: without giving Snellen's name. Mr. Nleoll sug-
Is a tested thai Williams go ahead and work
' h. Sugden until bo found out just whece
I n the jewels were. Then he was to
t get them, and they were to be re-
jT turned to Mr. Wilson. Williams was to
; k-et a reward for his work, and Sugden was to
!; io protected from arrest. In order to facilitate
this. Williams told a private detect! vo employed
i. by Mr. Nleoll that Sugden was the man who
1-s '" had the Jewels. This detective told Detective
It Flay, who had been floundering around on a
K doren hopeless clues, and Floy started aftor
KUU Sugden. Meanwhile. Sugden found out what
Ef had been going on, and, on tho ndvlce of Mr.
I if Noah, wont to Police Headquarters and talked

Beek Oommlnleaer Ktnsteln Retort o-
mrutlj on Mr, str.ins.
At the meeting of the Dock Hoard yesterday
Commlxslonor Klnsteln brought up the subject
of the arrest by Health Inspector Betz of Frank
Maeder, of Rich It Macder. to whom the board
cranlcd the permit for tho sale ot nillkon the
Third strcot recreation pier, on a charge of soil
ing watered milk. Ho had read a letter from
Rich & Macder, In which they ssld:
"We beg to call your attention to the fact
that ono of tho Health Department Inspectors, a
Mr. Ilctr., has brought charges against us for
telling adulterated milk on tho Fast Third
-truct pier. This Infamous llo, without the
sllRhtcst foundation of truth. Is apparently the
outcomoof the light that has been made against
us for not allowing Mr. Nathan Straus to sell
milk nt our stands, for which ho offered remu
neration. Wo feel that our reputation and stand
ing In our own business Is such that It loaves us
iiIkjvo the shadow of suspicion, and the milk
dealers from w bom wo purchase our milk stip
plv thousands of others In this city. The mat
ter has gono so far that it Is Injuring us, not
alona in a business way, but It Is giving us per
sonal troublo and heavy expenso, and Is, In a
way, nothing mora or less than defamation of
character. Wo aro ready to produce for you
bills from tho New York Sterllizod Milk Com
pany, also tho Beakcs Company, showing our
purchases, and both of these concerns aro more
than anxious to havo the Health Board make au
examination ot their products. We ask you to
take immediate action in thin matter, so that
we cjin prepare statements that will exonerate
us from this (barge, and wo would suggest that
tho Health Hoard Bond an inspector every day
to tho pier."
Commissioner Einstein characterirod the ar
rest as an Infamous piece of work. Mr. Straus,
he raid, was chagrined that the Dock
Board had not allowed him to establish one ot
his sterilized milk stnttons on the pier. He
culled attentlou to an Interview with Mr. Straus,
printed on Aug. 0, In uhlch ho was reported as
saying that the Dock Board was killing off ba
bies and Increasing tho denth rate by not giving
tho pcoplo a cbanco to drink sterilized milk, and
all this wns caused by the splto ot a Commis
sioner tow aril Mr. Straus.
" It Is all an Infamous llo," said Commissioner
Klnsteln. " I ropcat. an Infamous He from be
ginning to end. Wo bne. in proof of this, tho
btntemont of the Health liopartment that tho
niortallt rate among infanta and udults was
never so low as at present. Furthor than that,
within tho last few days we havo sent communi
cations to tho nowapiiper which published tho
interview and to Mr. Straus, asking the former
to givo tho uamo of tho Commissioner who,
through spite toward Mr. Slraus, U causing tho
death ot babies, and asking Mr. Straus if the
Interview was authentic. Those letters were
sent ten days ago. From the newspaper we
have received no reply. From Mr. Straus we
have just received a letter which totally Ignores
the charges made against us by him, and re
prats his request for the privilege of selling
sterilized milk on the pier. I simply want to
havo theso remarks put In tho record, calling
attention to the g-rnvo nature of tho charges,
whltii. In my Judgment, are Infamous ana be
neath contempt."
After the meeting Mr. Einstein further freed
his mind, saying:
" As to Mr. Straus's charges thstwe are kill
ing off babies by not allowing him to sell milk
there, why the menwho conduct the privilege
sell sterilized milk at acent a glass, give a larger
5 lass than Straus does and make a good profit,
his arrest Is mean, petty spite work on the part
of Straus,"
Chief Engineer Greene reported adversely on
the application of Contractor iSoagrlst for an ex
tension of tlmo In which to remove the build
ings to make room for the new piers at West
Eleventh street. President O'Brien wanted to
have tho report adoptod, but Commissioner
Einstein hod it laid on the table. There was no
crap.
ADVOCATES OF TESTPSItASOB.
Ttaey Protest Against tbo Eatabllibmeat or at
tlnni shop on Bills lstao.0.
BAltATOQA, Aug. 19. Nearly the whole of to
day's session of the National Advocates of Tem
perance was devoted to the consideration of a
long set of resolutions, constituting their plat
form, which were finally adopted unanimously.
The organization rejoices In the advancement
of temperance during the past fifty years. It la
gratified in having secured by law In all States
except three scientific temperance education In
the schools. It urges that effort be made to
prevent the uso of Intoxicating liquors on all
social occasions, appeals to leaders of fashion to
discountenance tempting youths by the use of
wlno at parties and dinners, and asks ladles to
uso their Influence against the growing use of
liquors by some of their sex. Young men are
requested not to invito friends to drink. The
Church Is urged to bo fearless In temperance re
form. It Is requested that the third Sunday ot
October bo observed as temperance Sunday.
The resolutions proceed to denounce the liquor
tralMc as follows:
"Wo ore agreed that to license the liquor
traffic, whether high or low, works only evil;
that any scheme by which good men and Church
people are to be pressed into supervising the
sale of liquor Is a delusion and a snare; that pro
hibition. State and national, legislative and
constitutional. Is the Ideal; that the saloon
power Is the deadly foe of good order, and, be
cause of Its organized attitude In politics, needs
to be met by organization in full energy; that
only men opposed to liquor should be elected
to ofllce. ana that political parlies which sustain
the liquor tralllc are not to be supported."
This reference to parties aroused heated de
bate. Among the speakers were Dr. Corsy of
Washington, Dr. Kynette of New Jersey, the
Hon. 8. D. Hastings of Wisconsin, and Drs. Pout
son und Robbins of New York city.
The organization further urges that a com
bined ellort be made this fall In the United
States to secure temperance pledges from all
the children of the land. The advocates rejoice
in the growlnir sentiment In the medical pro
fession that alcobollo stimulants are unneces
sary. They denounce as deceiving and dan
gerouB tee great number of patent medicines
composed of alcoholic stimulants, and ask the
medical fraternity to expose such compounds.
They ask Congress to secure the abolition ot the
liquor internal revenue system, to prohibit
tho trafflo In the District ot Columbia,
and to all persons and In all places
under national Jurisdiction. They protest against
the establishment ot a rum shop on Ellis Island,
and urge Congress to forbid all truffle in liquors
between this and foreign lands. The request
that Congress appoint a commission of Inquiry
In regard to the Influence of Intoxicants Is re
newed. On the request of Frsnces Willard the follow
ing fraternal delegates were chosen to attend
the meetings of the National W. C. T. U. at Buf
falo and the World's W. O. T. U. at Toronto:
The Hon. B. D. Hastings of Wist onsln, the Her,
O. P. Olfford. the Hon. Joshua Bailey, and the
lion. 1L B. McCalf of Rhodo Island.

Valley und the bridges over the ship canal and
over the Harlem River at Klngshrldcii. the tun

TncnsDAT, Aug. 10.
The stock market continues comparatively
dull and Irregular. Tho reactionary element
proceeds with caution and bases Its operations
entirely upon reported or prospective damage
to the crops, particularly corn. Higher prices
for staple cereals are superficial corrobora
tion of the views held or disseminated by
the balls on wheat and the bears on stocks. Tho
accuracy of those views Is Impaired by the ex
traordinary preparations that the railroads are
making to move the maturing crops. According
to all accounts the spring wheat crop Is virtu
ally secured, and. should the yield bo less than
estimated, the amount required for export Is so
great that the prices obtained will more than
offset a smaller supply than had been expected.
Bo far as corn is concerned. It should be remem
bored that a large part of last jour's crop has
not yet been marketed, henco a shortage this
year, which is by no means cortnln, will bring
the remainder of tho old crop to market, as
well as the surplus produced this year, at higher
prices than prevailed twolve months ago. The
fact should not be overlooked that Europo bas
begun to consume American corn, hence If
wheat rises to prices that foreign consumers may
regard as extravagant or prohibitory thoy will
follow the precedent of last year and Import
large quantities of corn. The price of corn bas
already begun to reflect this possibility, and
should the surplus of last year's crop begin to
move toward the seaboard thecarryingcapaclty
of the Granger trunk Hues will be severely
taxed.
Distressing reports regarding the crops were
again to-day the stock in trado of the profes
sional eloment, which was unanimously bent
upon bringing about n further reaction In prices.
It is significant that In splto of vigorous efforts
to bold the markot In check, tho majority
of ths list was strong until shortlr before
the close, when u raid upon values, presuma
bly for effect upon London, wiped out In many
cotes the Improvement that took place In
the middle ot the day. London, by the way,
did very little In this market, although the
speculation ot that centre was adversely
affected by the political troubles in India and
fears of an active money market. As fore
shadowed in this column this morning, the
firmness of the sterling exebango markot
here prevontod an advance In tho Bank
of England's minimum rate of discount to
day. Cable advices Indicate thtit tho
bank la making strenuous efforts to
postpone exports of specie and to throw tbo first
burdonof them, when made, upon the Conti
nent. Railway gross earnings for the sec
ond week in August, that were reported
to-day, show gratifying increases over last
year. The most lmportnnl returns wore
those of Chesapeake and Ohio, the Chi
cago Groat Western, tho toutsvlllo ond
Nashville and tho Southern Railway compa
nies. Other favorubla developments wore the
report of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
forks fUcal jear, published this morning; tho
foreshadowing of an excollent traffic statomont
by the Heading Company for July, and unofl
clal advices as to the prosent earnings of the
Granger trunk linos.
8ugar Refining made a new record to-day, sell
ing at ISO. Missouri I'actflo was exceptionally
strong and so woronll of tho anthracite coal
stocks, particularly Reading securities. The
most trustworthy Information regarding tho
anthyaclto coal trade la that It Is In excellent
condition and Is constantly Improving,
Resides, general business in Pennsylvania,
which has been slow to participate In tlio re
vival of activity, owing to the losses sustained
In iron and other Industries. Is now beginning to
recover, nnd In consequenco lncreasod earnings
are expected from all tbo rallronds operating In
that State. It Is lonrnod that tbo Pennsylvania
Railroad Is preparing to uso every one of Its cars
that can bo made available by reasonable ex
pcndlturcsfor repairs. In spite of the final ro
aotlon In prices, material not advance worn re
corded for Rrooklyn Rapid Transit, Metropoli
tan Traction. Consolidated (las, Reading aocu
rftles, St, Joe nnd Urniul Ulaiid Issues, and
Chicago and Eastern Illinois.
The time inonoy market attracted unusual at
tention to-day because a large demund for no
comodatlonsforthrcomontlisniid the balance o
the yenr was supplied, unci l:i conseijucnco
lhe( market became dccldodly easier. To
days largo borrowings on tlmo dnubtleji
foreshadow new ventures on Iho lonp;
lde of the stock market. Gold to the
omount of $100,000 wns deposited In the Clear
Ing House vaults today, making tho total
amount on depolt.tn,U80,000. Tho Sub-Treas-hry
lost $160,000 gold for shipment to Canada.
The closing of the stock market was In the main
toidy, and net fluctuations, which as a rule
were unimportant, favored both accounts.
