trat that which was tried last night In Council-
i, Baan Welch cafd on Washington place, though
' eminently successful, Is not likely to becorao
, popular here. Tho subject on which It was tried
, was an old rounder who had lost his narno and
hasn't recovered It up to date. Ho was In such
condition when he cntorod tho saloon that it re-
i ( quired tho concentration of his entire inontallty
to .naTisate from tho door to tho nearest table.
Haying; reached it, he sank Into a chair, lookod
about blm with an air of smiling satisfaction,
(l and swept his hand abroad In an affable gesturo
1 of Invitation.
H "Drinks round on me', Bcnt'men," he said.
m Then he laid -.his head upon tho table and
.0 snored In a whole-souled sort of way that made
,, the sissies rattle on the sholvoa.
3 4 "Here, this won't do." said Mr. Welch, who
i ' was talking with some friends. " Put that In-
A t ' tonal old foghorn out, John."
j The bartender shook tho sleeper up, but
jr -$ orolved nothing mojre satisfactory than a suo-
av" cession of stertorous snorts.

:.v, gestedoneof the men In the place. "That's the
only way to treat a bum of that kind."
"No, I don't wnnt him hurt." said the pro-
T prie'.or. "Try somo seltzer on him."

"Fr-r-r-aasl" ho observed. " Help I Throw me

ra Aa the bartender gently assisted him to the
',, , door Harry Meyers, a prominent horso owner.
i-S oame in and greeted the crowd. Mr. Meyers
: . had driven up in his trap, which ho bad left

i Rushing outside Mr. Meyers and the others
35 beheld the unknown in tho act of accepting the

had found a turnout awaiting him, and had
token it in the spirit in which it was offered.
; But he bad failed to reckon upon the horse.

I ? vrhcea Identity was not then known to Capt,

' Mobile were '.la the neighborhood of Sable
5 J' Island about 2 o'clock on Snnday morning in
if p. bank of vapor so thick that no object could
p pe seen a quarter of a ship's length away. The
Mobile was running at good speed. Tt is said
n trf the cattlemen nobody olso would talk
ttsi y mraoh about the subject that apparently no-
'tBaV'lL, rpdy on either vessel knew that they were in
Rmfc- tAe neighborhood of each other until they camo
iZ&.3 m together. Their port bows came togehter with a
f glancing blow. They bad reduced speed so
slightly that both ships careened heavily, and
many passengers on tho port sldo, all of whom
were awakened by the shock of the Impact, were
thrown from their berths. Somo of the passen
gers ran out on deck in their night clothing.
There was a momentary panic Tbe officers
allayed tbe excitement when the ship's decks
resumed the horizontal. Tho ship was stopped
and the lifeboats wero made ready for launch
ing. The engineers foonck that the ship was
not making water, and that the only damage
' I'S ', ' rne the rent in her port bow, high above the
''fS IV Water line. The ship proceeded.
'' "'' The Captain of the Corean. in his report at

j V.J after running into him. Capt. Leyland de-
(V V V"'- dared that he stood by ready to render assist-

: I I '" er whistles were heard by the passengers on

Alonzo M. Smith, a salesman of this city, was
married to Miss Julia C. Janvier of IDS Sixth
avenuo, Brooklyn, on Oct. 31, 1800, by tho Rev.
Dwlght A. Jordan of 114 Honry street, Brook
lyn. A few days after his marrlago Smith bo
:amo violently lnsano. It was thought that the
excitement attending tho eloction. In which ho
was much Interested, had something to do with
tbe loss of his reason. Mrs. Annie W. Smith,
tho mother of the unfortunate man, has now
brought an action In the Supremo Court to havo
tho marriage annulled, on tho ground that
Smith was not in his right mind at the time of
tbo marriage. Smith is tho possessor of con
sldornblo property and his mother asks that his
wife bo cut ofT from any share In it in the event
of Smith's death.
To avoid a trial In open court both parties
havo agreed to allow a rofereo to deefdo the
caso, and Justice Pryor of tho Supreme Court
has appointed Attornoy M. C. MUnor to act as
referee. ',
Tho Rov. Mr. Jordan, when asked about the
caso yesterday, said that ho remembered the
marriage and that Smith was apparently sane
at the time.

In name only, and his rotentlon will be morely
for the sako of keeping up tho harmony Idea In

torney has mado him strongcr.than ever with
Mr. Croker, who has tho highest admiration for
htm. Senator Cantor may rctlro gracefully
from tho leadership when ho realizes Senator
Grady's rotations with tbendmlntstratton. The
statement of Senator Grady as to thecoursoof
the minority during tho coming session may be
considered authoritative, as ho has been in con

stand his attitude thoroughly.
senator Coggcshall of Oneida county, who is a
Republican, is on a visit horo to recover from
hay fever, which troubles htm about this time

Senator Timothy D. Sullivan, with John C. Fitz
gerald, Martin Engel, Floronco J, Sullivan, and
Walter G. Keep, got hero this morning and

understood that Sonator Sullivan has a big

his Bowery constituents behind brooms In tho
Street Cleaning Department, or hold those that

with placing loyal Tammany men In tbo Fire,

Tan Republican Seuatera Agree to Make Voor
beee President or tbe Seuate.
TRSNTOX, . J., uec. .. ine scene nt mo state
Capitol to-day resembled a day of organization
of tho Legislature. Tho corridors wero filled
with politicians who had gathered to congratu
late Gov. Griggs on his prospective clovntlon to
the Attorney Generalship, and to discuss tho
complications over the Presidency of the Senato
and acting Governorship. The Governor said
he would not resign tho Governorship until after
the Legislature had organized, and thero might
be somo delay beyond that time, as he would
not retire until confirmed as n Cabinet officer.
The Senate Presidency was settled. Ten Re
publican Senators beld an informal caucus and
unanimously decided to support Senator Toor
hees for tbe presidency, which will mako htm
acting Governor. Senator Johnson of Bergen
county said that tho holdover Republican Sen
ators, who form a majority of the caucus, had
agreed last spring to support Voorhces, and ho
saw no reason to chnngo their determination be
cause thero wcro to bo additional honors at
tached to tho place. Senator Skirm agreed. Ho
said the use of his name hxd been unauthorized
and be would not oppose Voorbecs.
There was no consideration of tho Presidency
pro tern, of tho Senate, but It was said that Sen
ators Sklrtu of Mercer. Hoffman of Atlantic,
Ketcham of F.sfox, and Yreoland of Morris
would be candidates for tho place.
George A. Frcy of Camden is o new candidate
for Secretary of tho Senate, and ex-Assemblyman
Charles N. Codding of Union county an

the House. Thoso usually well informed say
that Codding will bo clerk. It is conceded thnt
David O. Watklns of Gloucester county will bo

Over tbe Patronnce Division.
Tbe tidings which Bernard J. York brought
back to Brooklyn a few days ago after his con
fab at Lakewood with Mr. Croker and other
Tammany chieftains havo not, so It is reported,
been received with much satisfaction by most
of tho Democratic leaders In that city. Hugh
McLaughlin proserves his accustomed reti
cence, but some of his chief lieutenants openly
deolaro tbat Tammany Hall ovldcntly Intends
to treat them shabbily in the distribution of tho
Greater Now York plums. Threats of retalia
tion on tbe Tiger, through tho Kings county
Democratic delegation at Albany nnd later on
at tho noxt State Convention, havo already been
made. Senator P. II. McCarrcn Is at tbo head
of tho malcontents and John Delmnr. Jnincs
Kane and a few othor powerful district leaders
arc backing him In his kirk for moro generous
recognition than tho Tammany magnates nro
willing to concedo to tho Brooklyn Democracy.
They nro 'said to bo especially nggrloved over

Sim a definite statement of Just what tho Brook

not seem to do holleved in Democratic circles
lhat the Brooklyn Republicans nre going to enp

An action has been begun In tbe Supreme
Court by James F.Rogers.as administrator of the
citato of tbo lata William R. Roberts, against
Mary B. Belbert, to recover $7,000 claimed to
have been obtained from the late William R.
Roberts through the exerclseof undue influence,
when he was enfeebled in mind nnd body and
held In duress by tbo defendant,
Tho plaintiff In tho action lives In Flushing,
Ik I. The defendant lives with her husband,
Christian M. Solbert, at 100 West Soventy-sixth
street, this city. Tho caso will probably como
to trial at the January term, as tt Is, Ilka all ad
ministrators' cases, a preferred one.
Co). William R. Iloborts died In Btllcvue
Hospital on Aug. 8, last. Ho Is best remembered
by a great number of persons for his devotion to
tho causo of Ireland nnd for bis activity for
many years In Fenian moroments. Ha is also
remembered by Democratic politicians.
From 1870 to 1874, inclusive ho represented
ono of tho districts in this city In Congress.
Then ho was an Aldcrman-nt-Largo and
later President of the Board of Alder
men. In 1885. when Ullam it. draco
wss serving his second term as Mayor,
President Cloreland appointed Roberts Mlnlstor
10 uniu, lie serrea umu ins successor wns
named by Proildent Harrison. Christian M.
Sulbert, husband of the defendant In this action,
wns Roberts's Hocrctary of Legation.
For several years bofore his death Iloborts
had not been on friendly terms with his family.
After bo camo back Irom Chill ho mado his
homo with tho Seiberts. Mrs. Iloborts
was almost entirely supported by their
onlv son, who Is tbo plaintiff in this action.
Roberts was takon from tho homo of tbo Sel
berts to Bcllevue Hospital, and itwas only when
I hey road tho notlco In tho papers that Mrs.
Roberts and her oon know of his death. Then
they claimed the body and burled It.
Beforo the body was claimed It had been dis
sected bv the hospltnl doctors, by tho ponnlesion
of Dr. James N. Butler of 42 Hast Thirtieth
street, n son-in-law of Mrs. Solbert, who signed
tho certificate For giving this paimlbslon James
F. Roberts caused Dr. Uutlor s nrrcttt, nnd ho
was held by Magistrnto Crnno to await the ac
tion of tho Grand Jury. Tho Grand Jury dis
missed tho complaint. Tho iircnnt nctlouwas
begun last month, Jnincs r: Roberts wns ap
pointed administrator of his father's ostalo
on Aug. 2$. On Sept. 8 ho applied to
tho Surrogato for nn onlor permitting
Mrs. Helbcrt to bo examined, making tho claim
that Mrs. Solbert had in her possession properly
of considerable value, that had bolonged to his
father. Mrs. Sclbcrt put In nn answer to this
implication, admitting that she hnd property be
longing to the late Mr. Roberts, and she enumer
ated It. The enumeration Included Jewelry,
woarlng apparel, bonks nnd papers, and n mar
ble bust of Col. Roberts. The jewelry she
clalmod za hers under a 1,111 or nalo exo
cutod by Col. Roberts. Tho other articles
alio claimed to hao a lieu upon for board
from 1889 to tho tttiio Roberts went
to tho hospital and for enro during tho greater
part of n long Illness. Thu Surrogate denied
tho application of Jnmcs F. Roberts on Sept.
21, but without prejudlco to him. should ho dc
siro to havo Mrs. Sclbcrt oxnmlned as to other
property thnt hnd belonged to Col. Roberts.
In November tbo prcsont action wns bcgunV
Tho plaintiff claims that, when his father
returned from Chill, bo hnd uulto a for
tune. Hu alleges that out of this ho
bought tho hotiso now occupied by tho
Sclbcrls. and paid upon tho purchaso
prlco $7,000. Ho also alleges thnt his fatber
paid the household expenses of the Sclbcrts. In
Bupport of these claims, the plaintiff purposes to
summon an army of tradesmen with whom Mrs.
Fclbcrt dealt nnd whoso hills were paid by Col.
Itobcrts's check 9
The plaintiff also Intends to provo by tbo tes
timony of Wllllnni It. Oraconnu by thobooksof

that these and other cheeks of Roberts, drawn
for the benefit of Mrs. Selbcrt nnd her family
wero paid by XV. R. Graco S: Co. and charged to
Roberta's account.
Mrs. Setburt in her answer mnkos n general
denial of all theso rhnrges. She claims that
when Roberts returned from Chili ho had noth

his family, nnd thnt sho and her husonnd had to
