Eden Musee. —The latest addition to
tho standard features of tbo Musee —“The Histori
cal Monument”—has proved unusually attractive,
and the crowds of visitors, not only nightly but
hourly through the day, have at times completely
filled the place. The monument represents the
Bartholdi Statue of Liberty, around which are
grouped, in life-size figures, all the Presidents of the
United States.
There is also a group of the Irish patriots. Par
hell, O’Connell, Butt and Davitt. All the faces of
these are taken from original portraits.
With these there are also the writers, lyric artists
ftfid kings and potentates of tho world, Gen. Grant,
the Chamber of Horrors, and the thousand stereop
ticoti Views.
There Will be the usual sacred concerts this after
noon and evening.
New York Museum. —Europe’s latest
•wonder, "The Transparent Turk,” who arrived in
America last Tuesday, will to-day make his first ap
pearance in this city. He is certainly a curiosity,
and will undoubtedly attract the attention of the
medical faculty and the public in general. The
SIO,OOO tiny mite, " Hop o’ My Thumb,” the small
est living being in the world, 21 inches In height,
and weighing but 4% pounds, will also be seen for
the first time, as will the Giant Albino, Chas. Price,
and his mammoth fat bride, Madame Pettit, whose
marriage in this city caused such a sensation a few
weeks ago. Numerous other living curiosities, and
grand stage performances hourly by Murphy &
Miles' Star Specialty Company will serve to make a
very attractive programme. The curiosities will
be on exhibition to-day, and the usual sacred con
certs will be given.
Theiss’s Alhambra Court. —The at
tractions at this popular and sumptously decorated
resort for the present week include all the standard
features of the past week, including-chief of all—
the cornet solos of Levy. The orchestra will be
heard in a new series of selections. At the special
concerts this afternoon and evening many notable
vocalists will be heard in their favorite specialties.
Gould’s Sans Souci. —The attractions
for the present week include many novelties, and
tho appearance of half a score of pretty young lady
vocalists and variety specialists. Tho Sans Souci
Quartette, tho orchestra and Its loading instru
mental soloists, will all be heard as usual. The
" Sans Souci ” has largely increased in popularity
—a fact which is almost entirely owing to the ex
cellence of its management. The Sans Souci is not
open on Sunday.
Standard Theatre.—" Pinafore” will
Occupy the stage during the current week. Thus
far the revival of this opera, which was at one time
the craze of the town, has tided over successfully
the fortunes of the management as a preparation for
its successor, " The Twins.”
The second matinee of “ Pinafore” will be given
on Saturday.
American Mabille.—The programme
for the present week will include all the features
which have made this resort popular with all who
are interested in athletic sports, variety specialties,
and enjoyable music. Then wrestling and spar
ring matches will bo given by many notable ex
perts and amateurs.
At the close of each performance there will boa
Ball, in which all present can participate. The Ma
bille is not open on Sundays.
Bwou Opera House.—Dixey—Adonis
—the Polished Villain—"lt’s English—quite English
you know ” —Simple Village Maiden, and the ever
lasting Miller—with all the rest of the Marble family

Musical and Dramatic Items.
Octave Feuillet, who is now in his
sixty-fourth year, has just finished a new five-act modern
and Parisian comedy, called " Cham ill ae,” which he will
read at the Comedie Francaise next week, and he is now
goinsr to beein a three act comedy, the leading role of
which will be created by ti e star of the Gymna.se Com
pany, Mme. Jane Hading, who naturally hopes to rival
Croizette’s former success in the same author's “Sphinx.’'
Feuillet is a man about whom the newspapers do not talk
much, for until lately he has lived mostly in Normandy
away from the noise and movement cl Paris. Now he
spends a great part of the year in Paris, surrounded by
his family and iiispetdogs aud his books, but as inacces
sible a? ever to public curiosity. On r ire occasions he is
to be seen in some literary salon, where he chats by pre
ference with his colleagues of the Academie Francaise;
}mt he has no reputation as a brilliant talker, and I never
leard him cited as the author of a bon mot. He is a quiet,
meditative man. who loves retirement. I remember
some years ago seeing Feuillet with his family at
Divonne. In the neighborhood ther* is a little trout
stream, on the banks of which Feuillet used to pass his
afternoons, rod in hand, in a quiet, shady spot, where
nobody disturbed him and where, of course, he never
caught a single fish. One day a peasant took pity on the
meditative fisherman and showed him a spot lower down
the stream where the trout were plentifi.l. “ (Test la-bas
qu’.ly eu a des truites !” said the peasant. “O mon
ami 1” replied Feuillet, thanking him, “ eWes me doran!
geraient.”
The first public performance of jhe
opera of "Culprit Fay,” the libretto of which is by Judge
F. G. Gedney, of New York, and the music by John C.
Alden, Jr., of Boston, was given on Wednesday evening
last by the Musical Union in Watertown. The house was
crowded, n arly two thousand people being in attendance.
The opera was a pronounced success. '1 he scene is laid
at West Point and Constitution Island. It is a very lib
eral adaptation of Drake's poem, with a prologue and two
acts, introducing fairies aid mortals. A camp scene at
West Point is introduced, with a vis.t by Vassar College
girls. There is also a scene showing the cadets off duty
at Benny Haven’s.* The east included Willis Clark, of
Boston; Miss Zetta Clark and Mrs. B. Fowler Muriel,
both of this place. A local com r any of the National
Guard furn shed a squad for the guard mount. After the
second act Judge Gedney was caHed be ore the curtain,
and made a brief response, expressing his gratification
and thanks. The opera will be purchased by the Boston
Ideal Company.
A large allowance must be made for
the exaggerations of the tuneful music, but William Win
ter, in his farewell tribute to Henry Irviug, puts it rather
.strongly when he says:
"Now fades across the glimmering deep, now darkly
dri ts away
The royal monarch of ourhearts. the glory of our day;
The pale stars shine, the nighL winds sigh, the Ead sea
makes its moan,
And we, bereft, are standing here in silence and alone. ”
It. is very sal. no dou! t, to part with Henry; still, the
entire Western world does not hold its handkerchief to its
eyes, refusing to be consoled. Wc shall manage to be
merry even without Henry, though the Bermuda onion
•crop is blasted and the ' each trees of the Eastern shoie
should retuse to put forth their fruit. Have we not oys
ters and skating rinks now, with baseball and strawber
ries and cream perpending? Go to!
Harrigan’s new play, which he will
send out with a picked company instead of producing it
himself in New York, is < ailed “ Are You Insured t” The
piece will be played for the first time at the Walnut
Street Theatre, in Phile “Iphia, to morrow evening, and
the company engaged !■ .• that occas on is quite good. It
includes W. 11. Fitzgerald, Daniel C llyer, Joseph Wilks,
Joseph Sparks, Fannie Wentworth. Daisy Murdock,
Sophie Hummel, and other people of ability. The two
leading comedy characters are an insurance agent and a
broken-down actor, which would have been well played
by Mr. Harrigan and Mr. Hart had they chosen to bring
out this work at their own theatre. If the play is success
ful in Philadelphia it will probably le brought to New
York. The manager of the enterprise is Mr. M. W. Han
ley, and the musical conductor is Mr. George Braham, a
relative of the popular composer of the Harrigan aud
Hart melodies.
E. E. Kidder will this week read to
the Salsbury Troubadors his new three act play, " Tom,
Dick and Harry.” “One of the Boys” is another comedy
he has finished, but net et placed. A production of his,
called “The Yellow Gab,” has been purchased by Leon
and Cushman (for whom he wrote “ Vic’s Coachman ”
"111-Fed D r.i,” etc.), and the same team have also
bought a very good burlesque by Mr. Kidder, called
"Hauled Back,” which they have not yet brought out
On April - 6 Mr. K. opened work on a comedy entitled
"Sis” for Myra Goodwin, and lias contracted to have it
finished July 1. He is also at work upon a comedy of
the French school (“Fast Friends 1 ’). His drama, “Ni
agara,” he thinks he will surely tour next season.
Lottawill probably not try his " Dorothy Dent ” before
the Fall.

All Decent Men Like Him.— c ‘The
Bully Lager Beer ” is tho name unanimously givefc
to the lager sold in Andrew Horn’s Hotel, corner
of East Broadway and Catharine street. And it well
deserves its title. It is of honost George Bechtel’s
brewing, it is pure, agreeable in flavor, pleasant to
drink, and is kept in the finest order by Mr. Horn.
Beer, however, is not the only beverage that Mr.
Horn supplies to his customers. He provides for
them whiskies and brandiea which are old and pure,
and wines which are of rare vintages. The cigars
which he sells cannot be surpassed in excellence.
Andrew Horn is a man whom decent men all like.
Disreputable men avoid his saloon.

James Burke, the bar-tender of the liquor-saloon
No. 235 West Twenty-sixth street, was charged with
violating the law on March 22d.
Officer Bartley said the place was licensed; de
fendant was in charge of it. He went in by the
back way, at a quarter past six in the evening.
There were twenty-five in tho place, singing and
noisy. Defendant was behind tho bar, in his shirt
sleeves, and beor was on the table. He did not
know where it was obtained, except that it was
irom behind the bar. Was in there about fifteen
minutes. He drank no liquor, and saw no one
drink.
“ Isn’t it true,” asked counsel, " that the parties
there belonged in the ward ?”
" Yes.”
" And you know most of these young fellows ?”
“ A couple of them.”
" One is the son of tho captain of the precinct ?”
" No, sir; I did not see him there ?”
“ Doesn’t he belong to the club that meets
thsre ?”
" I don’t know that he does; I have heard a re
mark that he does.”
“You were there fifteen minutes and saw no
liquor drank or ordered ?”
“ No,” replied the officer. " I went in by the side
door, complaint had been made at the station-house
that the place was disorderly.”
Defendant said that he lived at No. 342 West
Twenty-seventh street. No liquor was sold in the
place. Was there to clean up the place, he does
that every Sunday afternoon after Saturday night.
There was no noise there, the boys were sitting
there talking. A club composed of young men
called the "Owls” met there every afternoon. There
was no beer on the table. There was some ginger
ale from the night before. Didn't allow any person
to come in that was not an " Owl.”
Counsel thought that this was a proper case for
dismissal.
The court didn’t so think, the officer might or
might net be an •* Owl,” but ho, an officer, found
easy entrance.

A DOUBLE-HEADER.
Mistress and maid were put on trial, the maid for
selling liquor without a license, the mistress for
keeping a disorderly house at No. 120 Eldridge
street. The complainant was Officer Reap, of the
Tenth Precinct.
of violation of the Excise law was the
first of the two cases taken up. That was against
THE MAID,
Pauline Martin. Half-past eight in the evening,
the officer said, he entered the piaoe, and found
Pauline standing outside the bar. He was coaxed
into the back room. There were two rboms be
tween the back room and the bar-room. After he
had surveyed the premises, he said he would re
turn shortly. He kept his word, and came back at
twenty minutes past nine o'clock. He again went
in the back room with the maid, at her request.
Then he gave her twenty-five cents to get a bottle of
beer. She went and fetched it from the ice-box in
the bar. Between them they drank the beer.
Col. Spencer read the testimony of witness in the
police court, in which he said he had been on the
police twenty-three months, and lived with his
family at No. 184 Seventh street. Gave the defend
ant, Pauline, a dollar, after she got the beer. He sat
in the back room while she went and got the beer.
Counsel said it was impossible to see from the
rear to the tront, where he said the bottle came
from.
The officer said she solicited him in the back
room.
“ What did you give her the dollar for?” asked
Col. Spencer.
" I made that arrangement with her before going
in the back room.”
"That story makes me sick,” said the Colonel.
Minie Brown, said she kept No. 120 Eldridge street,
had been there four months, saw Pauline go out to
the corner and get a bottle of beer. She sold noth
ing but temperance drinks. The officer couldn’t
the ice box from the back room.
Pauline was acquited.
THE MISTRESS.
After Pauline left the bar, Minnie Brown, the
mistress, took her place to answer the charge of
keeping a disorderly house.
Officer Reap said he went in there, and Pauline
asked him in the back room. He left and came
back about nine o’clock. Pauline said on his re
turn, “ You back again?” He said "yes,” and
went in the back room with her, took off his coat
and lay down on the bed, and told her to get a bot
tle of lager. Gave her a dollar, and then twenty-five
cents to get the lager.
The court did not ask him, and he didn’t volun
teer to say, whether he lay down alone or double.
In answer to Col. Spencer he said the house was
not on his post, nor was he on special duty as Ward
detective, and the money was his own that he spent
there.

IT TAKES PLACE IN A CARPETED PARLOR
FIVE OF A CROWD.
John Maddox is a dog fancier, and keeps a stock
on hand for customers. It is charged that he occa
sionally gets up a dog-fight in tho parlor of his
house, at Eighty-third street and Riverside Drive.
On the Gth of April, about 9 o’clock in the evening,
a number of Mr. Bergh’s men looked through the
parlor window and saw two dogs in “bowlts.”
They witnessed th® canine fight for about fifteen
minutes before the door was burst in. Maddox was
found in Ins shirt sleeves handling one dog, and
John Hart was tending on the other. There wore
three spectators, who were arrested with the sec
onds of the dogs.
The dogs fought in rather close quarters. In the
room there were throe chairs, a stove, a bureau, a
sofa, and a trundle bed. Tho officers did not seo
any of the trappings usually attendant on a fight,
nor had the carpet been lilted for the occasion.
After Mr. Bergh’s men had proven that there was
a dog-fight there,, tho defense produced one of the
dogs that had been in the fight,, and, setting it be
fore the justices, asked that it be marked Exhibit
A.
The court didn’t know where to chalk it. Atten
tion was called to the fact that there wasn’t a scar
or a scratch on tho Exhibit.
Counsel said the dog was a enr; it couldn’t be
coaxed to fight; it would turn its tail to the enemy.
Mrs. Sarah Maddox was called for the defense.
She was the mothor of four children. She lived
among dogs all her life, and never saw a dog fight.
This night some friends visited her husband with a
dog, and were in the parlor. The dog shown as
Exhibit A followed her out of the kitchen into the
parlor, and as soon as it "seed” the other dog they
went frisking about the room. Mr. Bergh's men
never saw a fight in their life, or they wouldn't say
that of two dogs that " was looling.” Her carpeted
parlor was a nice place to say that they should have
a dog-fight in ! Mr. Bergh undertook to cross-ex
amine the lady.
" Your husband deals in dogs ?”
"O, yes, sir; he'll sell you a good dog cheap. If
he warrants a dog. you can depend on him.”
" Do you know these three men that were present
at the dog-fight ?”
" I didn't say there was a dog-fight. The gentle
tlemen there came to buy a dog. That’s my hus
band's business to sell 'em.”
" Were you present at this dog-fight ?”
" There was no fight,” said Mrs. Maddox.
" Did the dogs have a disagreement with each
other?” asked Mr. Bergh, changing tho phrase
ology.
" O, yes.”
" How large is the bed in that room ?”
" My child sleeps in it. Id that room there’s three
chairs, a rocking chair, a lounge, a stove, a bed, and
a table. Mr. Bergh's men rushed in with pistols
and fired them in tho air, instead of going up and
parting the dogs.”
" Does your husband train dogs to fight ?’* asked
Mr. Bergh.
"No, sir.”
McMahon, one of the prisoners, said he went to
Maddox’s house to buy a terrier. But he asked sls
for it. He was a brick layer.
Mr. Bergh wanted to know what dogs bad to do
with brick laying. McMahon didn’t know himself.
Cunningham, stone cutter, another defendent,
said he went with McMahon to seo the terrier.
Cavanagh, another defendent, was a casual at the
house.
The three spectators wore fined $lO each, while
Maddox and Hart were fined SSO each.

A NEW JERSEYMAN ROBBED OF EVERY POR
TION OF HIS TOGGERY.
John Patterson, a resident of New Jersey, came
over to New York and went on a spree. In his. per
egrinations through the city on Friday night, he
was picked up by a colored woman and taken to a
house in Greenwich avenue. There they had a
great many beers, aud Patterson finally fell asleep.
At a very early hour on Saturday morning. Miss
Watson, passing through Bleecker street, was ob
served by Officer Coogau, of the Fifteenth Precinct.
She had a bundle. He asked to look at it. It con
tained an overcoat, undercoat, vest, pants and
boots.
"A clear bilk,” said the officer to Miss’Watson.
" Where did you leave him housed ?”
"She was silent. He arrested her, and then
wired to the different station-houses for a man that
might be seen in the street, barefooted, and in his
shirt.
The man was found, and his clothing returned to
him. Yesterday morning he appeared in court as
complainant against the yellow thief.
" Where do you live?” asked Justice White of
the man.
" Central, New Jersey.”
" What is your business ?”
" Iron moulder.”
" On the 11th of April was any property stolen
from you ?” continued the Justice.
" Yes, sir; every thing you see me standing in
and $50.”
" Where was they stolen from ?”
" I couldn’t tell you ?”
" Do you know who stole it ?”
" Thatj young lady,”—the dusky damsel at the
bar.
" Where did she take you ?”
" Somewhere on Greenwich avenue.”
" How did she come to do it ? ’
"1 went home with her, and woke up this morn
ing, and was left with nothing but my shirt on to
get over to Jersey.”
" Nothing 1” exclaimed the Justice.
‘■Not a shred more.”
" What have you to say ?”
"Nothing,” said the woman. "He sent mo out
for beer all the evening, and then he sent me out
with his coats to get pawned, and I got lost.”
The woman was held in $2,000 to answer, and the
man was sent to the House of Detention.

Coroner Levy yesterday continued his inquest in
the cause of the death of the girl Marie Siebel. No
doubt the malpractice of Mrs. Karch, the midwife,
led to the death of the girl. A witness yesterday
testified that the body when put in the coffin was
yet warm; that medicine was given berm a glass
of water and after drinking it she cried three times,
"Help, help, help 1” and fell back dead.
This has led the Coroner to send the stomach of
deceased to Dr. Doremus to be analyzed, which
won’t be finished before a week or ten days.
Dr. Baily was recalled; so was Dr. Mayer. The
lest-named gentleman was asked if he had exam
ined the placenta, wouldn’t be have discovered
that it had not all been removed ?
Yes.
He was asked, if that had been done, might the
woman’s life not have been saved ?
Yes.
Dr. Donlin, who made the autopsy, found that a
portion of the placenta remained in the uterus.
This, of course, produced peuerperal fever, causing
death.
These doctors might have saved life if they had
examined the girl, but one of them had cut fingers,
aud the physician had a rich patient that he was to
go to immediately, and he was afraid his fingers
might poison the other lady patient.
A witness testified that the accused was anxious
to go to a funeral, and hurried up the patient by
the Macready plan—thumping the abdomen to has
ten up the work.
The accused was remanded, the bail remaining
fixed at $5,000.
Loving Kindness.
A WOMAN THE JUSTICES ADMIRED.
It has been the good fortune for some to see a
double full moon. That was the presentable ap
pearance of Mary Lynch. Such a banged-up face
is not seen in a century.
When her husband Jim was arraigned for assault
ing her, she begged to be excused from prosecuting.
It was the first time he had ever made her face like a
boiled beet.
" Wasn’t he drunk I” asked the court.
" He had a sup.”
" Was he sober?” asked Justice Patterson.
"Well, if a judge, he'd puss,” said the woman.
"How did he come to assault you?” asked Jus
tice Kilbretb.
"He blamed me for taking six dollars out of bis
pockets. I never put my hand in my man’s pockets
in my life.”
"Model woman,” remarked one of the justices.
"Wish I’d such a wife,” remarked another
justice.
"Thank the Lord! I don’t know such things,”
remarked the third justice.
The woman withdrew her complaint.
Ills Money Went in a Winlt.
THE DANGER OF STANDING IN THE STREET
TO COUNT MONEY.
James Hannon, a piano maker, residing at No.
425 West Twenty-third street, found himself, on
Friday evening, somewhat under the influence of
liquor. He went into a saloon at the corner of
Thirty-second street and bad a drink, gave a ten
dollar bill, and instead of counting the change,
went outside and took a look at its correctness.
There was also another looker-on at the change in
his fist. That was John McGoldrick, aged thirty
nine, a laborer, residing at No. 219 West Twenty
seventh street. He snatched the nine dollars aud
change out of Hannon's hand, and ran. He was
pursued and caught in an Eighth avenue car.
On being searched in the station-house, the money
was found concealed in one of his stockings.
The defendant said they had been drinking to
gether, and getting tired of Hannon’s company, the
only way he could shake him was to jump on an
Eighth avenue car. He was followed and arrested.
The complainant was drunk, aud couldn’t teU what
he had lost or spent. In the station house he said
forty, sixty-five, then that he bad lost a hundred
dollars. Tho money found on him was his own.
Ho was held in SI,OOO to answer.
A Female Sullivan.
THE OFFICER DIDN’T TAKE THE JOKE.
Mattie Lee, a notorious street walker, in the
Fifteenth Ward, was charged with soliciting Officer
Leeson. She knew him. She asked him if would
like the loan of a dollar to get a drink, He said he
wasn’t on the borrow. She asked him if he wouldn’t
like to be accommodated. She would put him on
her free list. He was stocked, and arrested her. She 1
said this to the officer all in fun, and didn’t thiuhlaa d
look at it in a serious light. To her astoafshment
Juustice Welde sent her to the Island for three
months.
Mattie is a female Sullivan. On one occasion she
fired a spittoon at a girl aud broke her nose.

PRETTY FEMININE FEET AND WHICH
CAPTIVATED A SUSCEPTIBLE BUSINESS MAN*
AGER-M SCANDAL WHICH CAUSES CONSTER
NATION AMONG THE LADIES OF WILLIAMS
BUW—RIVALS IN LOVE—THE FURY A W-
MAN SCORNED.
It goer without saying that WiiSam’Bburjy is ac
customed* to social-scandals, so wirsn it was stated
that society there was appalled lasrt week at the
revelations' in connection with the lite'of Alexander
Berry, for years business manager of Hard
ing’s shoo stare,, at No. 191 Grand street,.it can be
readily inferred'that tbe peccadilloes of vman much
admired by thw ladies had been exposed
Mr. Berry is jvman* tSwrty-three years aid; six feet
two inches in h3gbt, well proportioned, and'is soft
and velvety in conversation. His wife, towhom he
has been married-near fifteen years, and by whom
ho has three children living, began proceedings
against him for divorce six years ago, mentioning
the name of Miss Clara Phillips as a co-respond
ent. Tho suit was twice discontinued, but last
February it was tried before Judge Van Wyck- with
closed doors, and publicity was thus avoided. Mrs.
Berry was given seven dollars a week alimony and
the custody of the children.
Mr. Berry was a free naan under the Jersey law,
and Miss Phillips asked himto fulfill bis promise—
made years ago—and make her blighted lifo one of
sunshine. His people were high-toned, he said. And
would be shocked at his taking any such step. Be
side, he bad to support one family and could not un
dertake to maintain a second one. Miss Phillips
had her measure taken for a pair of shoes and called
for them a few evenings since at half-past 9 o'clock
as ho was closing up the store. After wrapping
thorn up lor her, he started to escort her home. As
soon as they entered a passing Grand street car, on
its way to tho ferries, Miss Phillipas’ father—a short,
stout man of fifty-five years—attacked him, pulling
his ears. He fled, followed by the lady, and tho pair
walked down to First street, where they boarded a
Groenpoint car. At Broadway Mr. Berry stepped off
tho platform and was assisting Miss Phillips out,
when Mr. Phillips attacked him. He fell, but as
soon as he regained his feet he fled, followed by two
policemen, who captured and brought him back to
the screaming and fainting girl. When the situation
was explained the policemen walked away, and
Berry and Miss Phillips went into a neighboring
restaurant. Mr. Phillips had previously disap
peared.
"I will tell you tho whole story of my wrongs,”
said Miss Phillips, who is a handsome, stylish and
piquant lady, to a Dispatch representative, "and
another girl. Miss Minnie , who is now only
eighteen years oid, can tell a similar story. Over six
years ago, when I was only seventeen years old, I
called at the store one evening to get a pair of
shoos. He was gallant, slipped off my old shoes,,
aud when fitting on the new ones complimented
my feet as being pretty and my ankles as being
shapely. I won’t say anything more about that
matter, but in that way we became acquainted.
Two months later he ruined me, and yielding to his
persuasions and protestations of love, I left home
and lived with him in New York his wife. I have
been brought up to make my own living, and can
make as much money as he can; so he always said
to me that I was the kind of a girl he should fiavo
for a wife—one who knew something and would bo
able to help him; that I would be able to make a
man of him. So I would.”
Miss Phillips, who spoke with vim and determinar
tion, here langbed as she remarked that he was six
feet two inches, while she was only medium siz®, or
rather under it for a woman.
"Our child that is now dead,” she continued,
"he named Alexena, after himself. I bore his
name and was introduced by him as his wife, and
was recognized as such. His brother visited us
while we lived together. He always told me if I
stood by him he would marry me when he was a
free man. He is now free, aud could marry, under
the Jersey law.
" I was named as a co-respondent in the divorce
proceedings, and so was Miss , of Lee avenue.
I saw her name in the legal papers. His impru
dence with her is alleged to have occurred in Mt.
Olivet Cemetery, and the gravedigger on whoso af
fidavit tho allegation was based said that ho was an
eye-witness to it, and that, when surprised, Mr.
Berry and Miss ran in different directions. Ho
was so solicitous about her, I understand, that
he arrived at an understanding with tho
counsel for the plaintiff in- the divorce proceed
ings that he would allow tho case to go by de
fault if her name was dropped from the complaint.
She is a little baby-faced thing that knows nothing,
and that I could walk all around as a woman. He
could not marry me, as bis relatives would object,
as my name was mentioned as a co-respondent, but
ho could marry Miss . as her name was not!
He told me that he ruined her as ho did me. She
went into the store to get a pair of shoes over two
years ago, and he was loud in praise of her foot and
ankle, just the same as in my case. He visited her,
and she is not living with her father, nor am I with
mine. He ought to be exposed.
" Then, again, he objects to marrying me because
I went to Saratoga last Summer. I went there on
my vacation, and he visited me there, and has called
on me often since. He wants to desert me now for
this baby-laced girl that knows nothing. I have
broken my father’s heart, and she has broken hers.”
The proprietor of a hotel in a corner near the shoe
store said: "Tbe|publicatipn of this scandal will
bring consternation to many a Williamsburg house
hold, for numerous ladies, married and single, had
often chatted with him in a friendly way, and their
innocent acquaintance will now be misconstrued
by a bad-minded public. None of them will now,
doubtless, admit they had ever spoken a word to
him.”
The Big 1 Hilliard. Tournament.
The billiard tournament which is to commence
at Irving Hall on the night of Monday, the 20th
inst., between Joseph Dion, Maurice Daly, Jacob
Schaeffer, George F. Slosson and William Sexton, is
attracting much attention, and the doings of the
various contestants are.being watched with great in
terest. ‘All of them are steadily practicing for the
tourney, and some great play is looked forward to.
Dion, who is at work at his rooms, No. 71 Broadway,
on Friday made a run of 130 points; Sexton, who is
training at his place at the corner of Thirty-fourth
street and Broadway, is credited with having scored
200 in one inning on Thursday, and Daly, at his
parlors on Broadway opposite the Post-Office, made
a break of 130, showing rapid improvement in his
style of playing.
Schaeffer is practicing at his rooms under Wal
-1 lack's Theatre, and is also doing good work. He is
greatly fancied by his friends and followers, who
strongly assert that he will be either first or second
at the finish. Slosson, who is still in Chicago, tele
graphs that he will return to New York on Thurs
day next. He also is practicing daily, and is re
ported as making long runs. It is expected that
. the tournament will occupy two weeks of nightly
play, for, although it apparently only requires ten
! games for each man to compete with the others, yet
' the possibility of ties has to be allowed for, and the
hall, for this reason, has been secured until tho 2d
of May. The games will be played on a sxlo table,
with 14-lnch balk lines, each game to bo 500 points.
The stakes, $250 each player, and SI,OOO given by the
Brunswick Balke Billiard Company, making $2,500
in all, are already posted, and will be divided, with
the gate receipts, into four prizes, the proportion of
which will be decided upon at a meeting of the
> players, to be held during the coming week.
JMCr. Conant’s Body.
THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE WELL-KNOWN
f EDITOR AS MUCH A MYbTERY AS EVER.
At 8 o’clock yesterday morning Mr. Conant’s wife
and brother-in-law went to Gravesend, to look at
, the body found in the Coney Island Creek Friday
night. Both failed to identify it as Mr. Conant's
body. Mr. Lord, Mr. Conant's brother-in-law, said
that many things about the newly discovered body
led him to believe that it could not be that of
Conant. Mr. Conant always wore white under
clothing, while that upon the body was red. There
was a large jackknife found in the pocket, unlike
anything ever carried by Mr. Conant, who had a
small penknife when he went away.
The few tufls of hair found upon the remains of
the dead man’s head were not gray, while Mr. Co
nant’s hair was unmistakably so. Nothing but tho
size of the body would lead any one to suppose that
it was Mr. Conant’s. The clothes were plain busi
ness clothes, which Mrs. Conaat could not identify.
As soon as Mr. Lord returns home he will give
the teeth of the man found on Friday night, to Mr.
Conant’s dentist, and some pieces of the clothes to
his tailor, in order to make it quite certain that the
body is not that of the missing editor.

HOW TO KEEP THEM CLEAN.
The Police Commissioners held a meeting yester
day to carry out the suggestions made at their joint
meeting on Friday with the Mayor and Health Com
missioners,for the discussion of the problem how to
keep the streets clean. They issued orders to the
force to arrest promptly any person found throwing
ashes or refuse in the streets, and directed the pre
cinct captains to let all the men they could spare
patrol in plain clothes on the look out for offenders
of this kind. The Superintendent was informed
that a most rigid enforcement of existing sanitary
laws was expected of the force.
The Health Commissioners also issued orders to
the force of sanitary policemen under their orders
to sharpen their watchfulness.
A delegation of taxpayers headed by Lawrence F.
Fuller, waited upon tho Mayor yesterday, and com
plained that many streets in the upper Wards of
th® aity, especially in the neighborhood of Manhat
tanvile, were iu a wretched condition, owing to the
negligence of contractors employed in the building
of sewers and other repairs. Mr. Grace promised to
give the matter careful consideration.

and drum corps, a large delegation of the Friend
ship Association, to which he belonged, and many
old residents of the Seventh Ward.
The deceased comrade enlisted in the Eleventh

and was severely wounded at the battle of Bull Run
and left on the field. He was a prisoner in Libby
Prison for nearly eight months, when he returned
to his regiment at Newport News.
When the ’‘Merrimac" attacked the Union fleet
in Hampton Roads, he was on the frigate "Cumber
land" as a visitor, and notwithstanding that he had
received a dangerous wound in the head, succeeded
in reaching the shore, bringing with him the flag of
the sunken ship. For his bravery on this occasion
he was recommended by the officers of the " Cum

THE BARTHOLDI FUND.
At the meeting of John A. Dix Post, the subject
of issuing an address to the comrades of the Grand
Army of this State concerning the Bartholdi Fund
was discussed. The matter was brought forward

such an address should be issued was passed with
out a dissenting voice, and the matter placed in
the hands of a committee, consisting of General
Wingate, C. H. Denison andC. H. Macklin.
The address says the American name is aiready
under heavy reprohch from the delay in furnishing
the pedestal. Every day adds to the humiliation,
and nothing can save overwhelming disgrace but
the prompt uprising of the patriotic sentiment of
the people. It states that there are 33,000 members
of the G. A. R. in this State, and if each of these
were to procure the subscription of a single dollar,
the work could be completed without further inter
ruption. To prove that they have but to ask to re
ceive, the address states that two members of the
post undertook the task, and in a few hours col
lected over SIOO.

propriate speech. Comrade Richard Marshall was
presented with a handsome gold badge for bringing
into the post the greatest number of recruits dur
ing the year 1884. Comrade Derr, Post Officer of
the Day, made the presentation speech in a very
impressive manner, and Comrade Marshall caused
much merriment by his witty response. Com
mander Lutjens showed that he had not forgotten
his military training by the able manner in which
he drilled his post during the maneuvers which
followed the presentation. Floor Manager Robert
Brown proved himself a very efficient officer, the
Grand March being greatly applauded. Dancing

HOW IT WAS CELEBRATED BY ONE OF BROOK
LYN’S OLD CLUBS.
One by one they gathered in the Annex Hotel, on
Fulton street, Brooklyn, last Tuesday evening
gentlemen well-shaven and in full dress—until, they
numbered upward of thirty, all told. They gath
ered in exclusive groups and outsiders wondered
what was up. About nine o’clock came a little
German band, wearing great Prussian hats. Thon
little calico badges, with safety pins, were passed
around, on which was the inscription. "Buxtehude
Club.” Then it was disclosed that tho gentlemen
present were members of this club and that they
were about to give a surprise to E. H. Stone, better
known as " Doc” Stone, upon the occasion of his
t forty -ninth birthday.
■ The club is an old one, organized about twenty
years ago. The name is that of a small town in
Germany, but why given to the Brooklyn club
none of the members can explain. All of those
present were well known along the "beach."
Among them were S. W. Brower, President; Frank
W. Rose, Vice-President; Albert F. Geerken, Treas
urer, and one of the proprietors of the Annex Ho
tel; Fred. W. Geehr, Secretary; E. M. Estabrook,
Sergt.-at-Arms; Henry C. Simonson, James Martin,
Charles N. Elliott, Wm. Meyer, Fred. W. Kraatz,
James H. Trask, Ed. T. Kelly, Henry Bark house,
Fred.Bunty, Joseph Gunhouse and W. B. Davis.
About ten o’clock the German band struck up,
and the line of march was taken toward Duffield
street, the residence of Dr. Stone.
Reaching there, it was seen that the shades were
up in a certain window—a prearranged signal that
the forty-nine year old boy was at home—and then
the band gave a lively hymn, and the club joined
in. It annoyed Dr. Stone, who was intent upon re
capitulating the weight of thousands of bales of
jute butts. Going to the door to stop the nuisance,
ho was seized by his friends and hurried into the
house. Here they were met by Mrs. Douglass, the
landlady, and other lady friends, members of a se
cret organization known as " The Seven Crows,” of
which Dr. Stone is an honorary member. It was a
most complete surprise, and the recipient was hard
ly able to speak. Congratulations over. President
Brower presented Dr. Stone with a handsome gold
mounted cane, and Frank Rose gave a miniature
bale of cotton, in silver bands—a souvenir of the
New Orleans Exposition.
It would be difficult to describe the fun that fol
lowed, nor will space permit. Trask was the life
of the evening. Some thought he had mistaken bis
vocation and should have been a ballet dancer,
Kraatz kept everybody in misery with his intoler
able puns, and Brower and Simonson came near
putting him into the street, and this was a lesson to
Al. Geerken, who for a time tried to rival him. A
string baud furnished music for dancing, during
which Trask and the violinist seemed in perfect
accord. The supper tables groaned under the
weight of good things prepared by the ladles, and
Mrs. Douglas proved an admirable hostess. It was
daylight when the boys went home, and daylight
came again before some of them made iheir appear
ance, and then with such heads I

INSTEAD OF GETTING ON THE POLICE, GETS
ON THE ISLAND.
Thomas Brennan, aged twenty-two, a teamster,
residing at No.* 9 Varick place, was before Justice
White yesterday, charged with being an habitual
drunkard and dissolute fellow. The complainant
was his mother. He was sent to the Island for a
month.
That spoils his prospects for the position of police
man.
He made application to get on the force, and was
favorably received, the five certificates of good
character were attached to the application, and he
passed examination. He was turned over to the
Civil Service examiners, and two weeks ago they
passed him. He was in a fairway to get his but
tons and club. Thp young man did not look as bad
as described.
If the mother spoke the truth of her son, those
men that endorsed his character either did it with
out knowing him, or, if they did, a great wrong
was done to the public by helping the appointment
of an improper character on the police.

ITEMS OF NEWS.
The base ball season is now two weeks old, and its
opening has been the most brilliant for many years.
The large attendance at exhibition games is con
clusive evidence that the public has lost none of
its interest. The opening contests at the Polo
Grounds have attracted wide-spread attention,
from the fact that it was here that the innovations
of the rules made by the National League were first
publicly tried. The new pitching rule and the in
creased size of the batting-box is doing just what it
was expected to do—helping the batting, making
larger scores, and giving crowds exciting games.
The new rule is unquestionably a strain upon the
pitchers, and not many will stand the wear and
tear of the season. Under the present rule, the
forward foot of the pitcher must remain motion
less while in the act of delivering the ball. Previ
ous to this season all the pitchers have been al
lowed about the box so long as they kept within its
prescribed limits. The weight of the pitcher is now
brought upon his forward foot, and this necessarily
produces a strain on him which detracts from his
speed, and in many instances spoils his effective
ness. Curve balls will not bother the League bats
men as much as formerly. He now strnds closer to
the plate, and is within reach of any ball which
comes within one foot of the homo plate.
Joseph Doyle controls the Brooklyn nine, and for
the past two years has labored hard and zealously
to make them a first-class club in every respect,
and he has, we are glad to say, succeeded. The
.Brooklyn grounds are considered as good as any
ball grounds in the country, and there is no reason
now why this club may not rank among the best.
Mr. Hackett,’who formerly managed the Cleveland
Club, has been engaged to take charge of this nine
for the season, and with his able management, sec
onded by the efforts of Joseph Doyle, we are of the
opinion that some of the crack clubs may look well
to their laurels before the baseball season ends.
One of the players who will certainly make his
mark is John Holsburger, pitcher of the Alaskas, of
Brooklyn, E. D., in 1884. He is now engaged with
the Ridgewood Athletics, of Brooklyn. The Alas
kas won the gold ball at the Queens County Park
tournament last Fall, and this success was admit
ted by all to be in a great measure due to his pitch
ing. There is no doubt that some enterprising
manager will get hold of him before long, and he
will be a good acquisition.
Secretary Diddler thinks of reentering the dia
mond, and will pitch for the Dead Rabbit Club, of
Wilmington. John T. West, of Wilmington, says
that Diddler would prove very effective against Na
tional League Clubs, as he stands motionless when
delivering the ball.
The Bt. Louis Union Club won 91 games in 1884
and lost 16 in the Union Association. Lucas expoeti
that the figures will bo reversed this season if the
League fails to reinstate Dunlap, Shaffer, Daily,
Sweeny, Glasscock, McCormick and Briody.
A semi-professional team is to be organized it
Wilmington this season, and will be called the
" Dead Rabbits." They will be under the
ment of H. IL Diddler.
The rivalry between Louisville and Cißcinnatf
grows warmer. The Porkopolis team now give ft
out that they will defeat Louisville in & verygame.
There is a general impression that Radboufno’,
• Whitney and Galvin, will not bo - able to d’o cffectivo*
work under the new pitching rule this season.
Secretary Didd'le? is disgusted with ffro decision 1
of the Arbitration Committee in tbrowfsg'. out the

BROOKLYN POLICE M ATTERS
SHALL WE HAVE A POLICE BOAT ?—GENERAL
NEWS—TRIALS—SICK—COMMENTS—ETC..
That a police boat is an. abosolute necessity in.
Brooklyn, is acceeded to by all enterprising citi
zens. Why, if the boat be needed, should not its
purchase or construction be immediately ordered >
. During the Summer months our docks, will be in
fested by scores of idle and dishonest persons, who*
after committing a theft, will be comparatively safo
from detection or arrest, as the police are at pres
ent unable to reach thieves, who, ijj escaping, tako
refuge in a boat, and are, as a result, beyond the
grasp of the " minions of the law."- Hurry up with
the boat seems to be a leading sentiment throughout
the department at present.
The excuses of many offenders this week appear,
ing before the Commissioner fortrial, would'lead
one to think that there are many •< stay at homes’*
at present serving on the force.
Marks, of the First Precinct, mado futile efforts to
convince the Commissioner that he had paid a cer
tain bill. The excuses of Marks were rather thin,,
and the Commissioner decided to fine him one day*»
pay.
Dyell, of the First Precinct, was charged with
using familiar language to a servant girl upon tha
street. "Ah, there: I want to see you," seems to
have been the words used by Dyell, whose ad
vances were sturdily repulsed by the servant girl.
"Oh, you’re no good,” it is alleged were the part
ing words of Dvell. The officer strenuously denied
his guilt, but did not succeed in overcoming the
convictions of Commissioner Partridge who ad
judged fiim guilty, and sentenced him to a loss o(
five days' pay. j
Quigley, of the Third Precinct, is said to be an
" old rounder.” While patroling his post rocontlj
he seems to have suddenly bethought himself of the
fact that there was sickness in his family, and
without further ado proceeded homeward, ignoring
the fact that he had not been relieved. As there is
always a proper course for an officer to pursue, in
obtaining leave of absence in order to attend any
sick member of his family, Quigley’s desertion oi
post could not be consistenly overlooked, hence he
was sentenced to a loss of two days’ pay.
Duffy, of the Fourth Precinct, in accounting to
his captain for not being found at his proper re
lieving point, and for returning to the station late,
said that he had been investigating an alleged dis
turbance; that his brother was sick, and for the
latter reason he had decided to go home. Too third
Guilty. Loss of three days’ pay.
Gallagher, ot the Fifth Precinct, returned to the
Station House before being properly relieved. Galla
gher, who is a newly appointed officer, declared that
his feet troubled him so badly as to render him un
able to remain longer upon post. It wag his first
tour of duty and in consideration of his being an
amateur he was simply reprimanded.
Lynch, of the same Precinct, was also sentenced
to be reprimanded for a similar offence. "Evidently
there are ‘Tenderfeet’ being appointed to the
force of late," muttered an old roundsman upon
hearing the verdict, etc.
Bowes, of the Sixth Precinct, upon being arraigned
on a charge of entering a bar-room while on post,
willingly “acknowledged the corn"' and was sen
tenced to a loss of five days pay.
Attfield, of the Eighth Precinct, did not remember
his instructions to repair to a public school at a
certain hour while on duty. It being Attfield’s first
patrol of the post in question, he was let off with a
reprimand.
McDonald, of the Eighth Precinct, was charged by
his roundsman with improperly patroling his post
during a period of nearly two hours. " Mao
denied being guilty, but the story of the roundsman
was believed by the Commissioner, who sentenced
McDonald to a loss of two days pay.
Davis, of the Twelfth Precinct, claimed that he
was in such a hurry to get home recently, that h<
was not particular as to how he might be relieved.
Such conduct in an officer is reprehensible, and if
is to be hoped that thb loss of one day’s pay may
teach Davis to be more careful in future.
Hardy, of the same precinct, was missed from his
post for nearly two hours. " I was there all the
time,” pleaded Hardy, whose effort to break the tes
timony of his roundsman was determinedly made.
The Commissioner thought differently, however,
and Hardy will lose one day’s pay.
Dingle, of the Twelfth Precinct, admitted having
no excuse to offer when being charged with not be
ing at his proper relieving point, and will lose ona
day’s pay.
Maud, of the Third Sub-Precinct, was found by
Inspector Mackellar while rapturously indulging in
the luxury of a smoke during the time that he was
the custodian of a prisoner in the interior of Justice
Bergen’s court-room, and while awaiting the arrival
of the latter. There are times when it is a great
temptation to steal a smoko while on duty, but
Maud should guard against being found so doing by
the Inspector. Plea—guilty. Sentence—to forfeit
one day’s pay.
Travers, of -the Fifth Sub-Precinct, was charged
with not being found on post, and positively
claimed to beeil engaged at the other end ol
his beat, faithfully executing his duty. Com
missioner Partridge did not regard the excusi
as being valid, and thereupon sentenced Travers t(
a loss of one days’ pay.
We are glad to note the recovery of Mr. P. Har
low, of the Commissioner’s Office, from his recent
illness. •»
It is gratifying to learn from many patrolmea
that a recent article which appeared in the Dis
patch, alluding to certain vile creatures, has cre
ated such a panic among the ranks of the lat
ter as to cause them to refrain from publicly ap
pearing on the streets in any but the most decorous
manner. The degraded beings should be sum
marily dealt with whenever and wherever encoun
tered,
There are quite a large number of the members o;
the force who have been borne upon the sick roL’
for some time past. Captain Folk, of the Twelfth,
is seriously ill. Masterson, of the Tenth, who is ar
old officer, has been a long time sick, and is not im
proving. Broderick and Miller, of the Eighth, have
both been sick for some time past, the latter beinj
troubled with heart disease. Captain Craft anc
Sergeant Corrougher, of the Second, Wolf, of the
Fifth, Mooney and Wrynn, of the Third, anc
Roundsman Clancy, of the First, aro still on th<
list. Roundsman McMillan, of tho Eleventh, hav‘
ing almost entirely recovered from his recent ill
ness, is now detailed for special duty at the Central
Office.
Sheriff Farley was last week presented with »
valuable water-dog which had been brought home
oy Mr. John Quevedo, who accompanied the expedi
tion in search of tho Greely party. A nicely on.
graved collar, presented by Mr. Terence Farley, ac
companied the gift.
Many citizens and officers have expressed their
disapproval of the course taken by certain newspa
pers of Brooklyn and New York city, whereby the
work begun by the Dispatch in its exposure of vile,
practices and individuals is sought to be undone.
False modesty, gentlemen 1 If you would get rid oi
a boil, use a lance and allow the putrid matter to be
seen and destroyed at once.
DIED IN HARNESS.
Officer Hoadley, of the Fifth Precinct, who has
for nearly twenty-two years a member of thia
force, was stricken with paralysis on Wednesday
last, dying immediately after his removal from the
station house, to which he had just reported tor
duty. He had been suffering from an aggravated
form of Bright’s disease of the kidneys, and was to.
