Ki?ht Hundred Flats* In New York
City. Claim* the Captalu Wanted
Him to rut Up ClOO a Month.
! New Your, Oct. L-r-Attho Eighteenth
[?Street Methodist church Sunday morn
ing, Rev. Dr. John A. B. Wilson read
a sworn paper, from .hired Flagg an
agent for over 800 flats in the city
which said in part:
"Yon want to know why our police
officials, especially rRpt. Donohuo,
claim that I have a notorious rcputa
I tion. I will tell you. Some months
j ago (apt. Donohuo ordered me to call
j at the station house. The captain
I closed all the doors and commenced by
; saying, 'You have been sadly neglected;
i your Eighteenth street flat buildings
j are full of bad women, and if you want
I them to remain }-ou will have to do the
I square thing.'
"I told him it was just as much a
crime to give a bribe as to receive one,
and that 1 did not propose to make my?
self amenable to the law. I explained to
him that since the Rarkn.tirst' raids un?
desirable tenants had resorted to all
manner of subterfuges in order to de?
ceive me. and at times had succeeded.
However, as soon as I discovered that I
made an error, I lost no time in getting
fid of them. Five days later I had
served thirteen disposcsses notices, and
handed the captain a statement, on
which the twenty-seven remaining ten?
ants were marked 'Respectable.' Op
|)o&j{? fhe names of the thirteen the
word ?dispossessed' was written.
Twelve of these doubtful tenants were
.ejected. The thirteent h, a girl of is,
told me she had run away frcjn hei?
home, in a small western town, with a
young man. who bad deserted her and
left her without a dollar. I weakened',
and that evening 1 explained to the
.captain about this girl. That very,
night she was dragged to jail. Cnpt.
?Donoduc then called at my office and
.said; Tve got you down in black and
white, arid you have got to put up. t
Mont ?1$} per month?1 ought to have
more.' \ said- 'I decline ?0 put up onq
dollar.'
v 'Very well.' he said, 'then take the,
consequences.' A few days later (apt.
Ppnohue and a detective arrested me.
f wji.s Indicted and am now out under
pail. tajd. jlonohuo js not the only
captain who .entcviaii:j$ ? prejudice,
against me; there tire others. "J con:
tri'l i-nd manage 822 pats jn this pity,
and the reason, tho only reason, Dr,
Wilson, why the officials you refer to
do not like me is because I have per?
sistently declined to permit the police
force of this city to blackmail me out
of money." ? ?

I. New Yob'k, fiept. fck-Oipt. Henry
w. Howgate, formerly an official ia
the signal office, and a fugitive from
Washington 1). C. since the winter of
1381, was arrested at 10 a. ra. Thursday
jm this city, charged with embezzle
I ments and forgeries aggregating 8370,
? 000. lie was committed to Ludlow
j street jail by United States Commis?
sioner Alexander.
I ( Howgate, when he fled from Wash?
ington, Avas an active, black-haired
j man, in the prime of life. He is now fiO
! years old, bent and broken, and with
gray hair and beard. Though the
United States officers have been hunt,
j ing ail over the United States for How*
; gate, he has been living quietly here, in
New York city as a dealer in second
hand books. His place of business was
at No. 80 Fourth avenue, in a basement,
Ife has bad cards printed bearing tho
name of ?.'Harry Williams," and by that
name he has for years been known to
the book trade of this and other cities.
llowgate's cards announced that he
j dealt in "old magazines, reviews and
i periodicals.'! His residence was at No.
105 West Tenth street, where he had
"bachelor lodgings,'' and kept a largo
amount of stock for his store.
Four months ago Detective Drum
mond, of this city, learned that How
gate was in the book business in this
city or Brooklyn. A systematic hunt
of all the book stores in the two citio?
was made, but he was not found. A
week ago Drummond tried the plan of
haunting book sale auction rooms. It
was a happy thought, A clerk from,
the war department, ja Washington,
who knew lloiygate, mhde the rounds
of the book auction rooms every day.
On Monday the clerk saw Howgate
' enter an auction room on Broadway
near Tenth street. The clerk was not
certain, however, as Howgate. had
changed. From a man weighing up
i wards of 190 pounds he has grown to
he a dried up old man of about 14q
pounds. The clerk went again to the
book sale on Tuesday, and entered into
? conversation with Howgate. "From
; Llowgate's manner of speaking tho
j clerk was pertain that he stood before
the fugitive at last.
j)rummoud took the midnight train
fot Washington/ Pn Tuesday, and
Wednesday gpt a bench warrant from
Judge JlihgJbnn, of the district su*

' morning, when Howgate was arrested.

VERY DRY.
Saloon* in New York Closed Tight on
Sunday.
) Even the Hotel* and Cafe? Were Warned
by Officer* S>nt Around for That Par
pose AgAO?ii Selling Liquor on
Sunday?Grea5 Many Arrests.
New Yoi:k, Oct. 1.?Frightened by
j the stringent measures of the police,
I the aaloonkeepers Sunday closed their
J doors tight; not only the front doors,
! but the side doors and back doors and
! family entrances as well, and even
! those doors that lead through dark and
! deviou? passages from adjacent alley
; ways to the longed-for goal.'
! It would not do to state that every
saloon in New York was closed, for a
j good many dealers, after surrounding
their pieces with guards, did a little
cautious and tremulous business; but
more red tape accompanied the process
of getting wet goods in these places
, than would be necessary to secure an
: audience with the shah of Persia.
Even the hotels and cafes wer.e
I warned by officers sent arpund for that
: purpose against selling any liquor, ex?
cept with a regular rneah and if a man
' wanted to get a drink in an eating
hquse he had to order food and pay for
it. The drug stpres were also dry.
Down pn Park Row there were, two,
j saloons which were at great pain* to
i accommodate their patrens. One of
them was the place known as the "Beg
j g^r's Rest.'' Standing on an adjacent
corner the reporter saw several men
walking along by the saloon dis?
appear downward, as if the earth
had swallowed them up. Going nearer
j he found that there was a large trap
j door in the sidewalk leading into the
i cellar uader the place. Outside a door
. stood a red-faced man, and a crowd of
j tough-looking- individuals Ipuuge.d,
I about. At intervals, apparently "by
.signal, two or three of these would dis?
appear down the trap door. But over
I in Hoboken beer flowed freely, as it al?
ways does, and the thirsty went in
; such crowds to Brooklyn that mes?
sengers were sent hurrying from all
the big places for extra bartenders.
! The Jefferson market police court
was crowded with tooiBd" eases. Police-,
ra&ft Zimmerman ' arraigned Charles'
. il?eshong, a' bartender.
" "Is this rnan a licensed saloon-kecp
? er?" asked Justice ilogan. ' j
I * ".Yes,'- replied Zimmerman,
j ".Did you enter his placev/' continuv'.d,
! "::Yes.;^
"Did you have a warrant pr process,
1 of law?''
hNo.," ftnswerttd fiiramerman,
"IwUl not entertain this complaint
or an^'other complaints of a similar i
character. You can **
\ Arb ...your prison-;
.ien you like. I shall not pass
I them."
"Are they discharged?!" asked the
i policeman.
"Xo, sir,' 1 will not pass upon the,
! cases. Take them hack. You may do
as you please with them," and the oflu
cers started; back to the station house
with fifteen prisoners, who were after?
ward hailed. There were forty-tive
prisoners arrested for violating the
excise law before other justices, and
eight were discharged, the others be?
ing held under bond. The police suc?
ceeded in making 'J',0 excise arrests
during the day. This is the largest
number ever made in one dqy.
BRITISH CRISIS.

in;; or (Jo O? ? .-board.
Loxnox. Oct. 1.?i.otli private ap?
peals and public warnings by the lead?
ers of the Irish party have failed to
disturb the reticence of the ministers
with regard Lu the po?iey tLey intend
to pursue during the coming session of
parliament, ami the situation of affairs
politically verges on a great crisis.
Lord Rosebery shirks in every "way
bringing before the cabinet the ques?
tion of the government's policy with
reference to the house of lords, fear?
ing- the ministry will be disrupted
through the withdrawal of the mem?
bers opposed to the abolition of the
! peers.
The feeling- of distrust of the sincer?
ity of the premier is not now confined
to the radic- 's and the Irish, but per?
vades the whole of the liberal party,
and only a straightforward declaration
of policy on the house of lords and the
j home rule questions can save him from
j being overthrown.
In a recent written letter, Mr. Henry
Labouchere says he despair:', of the
government, and he and these acting
i with him will in the future pursue an

THE STORM.
Coir-rn mil cat Jon With South Florid* All
Right?Reports Are of Great Destruc?
tion Hut No Loss ol Life.
Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 29.? Com?
munication with south Florida is being
restored, and reports are pouring in
, relative to the damage done by the
j West Indian cyclone which raged in
j the state Tuesday and Wednesday. The
j dispatches all tell the same story of
j houses wrecked and crops destroyed,
i but no loss of life is reported.
I A dispatch from Tampa Friday, which
! is the first information received from
[ that place since Tuesday, says several
j large cigar factories were wrecked. The
j large three-story brick factory of Scid
; enberg & Co. was destroyed. The fac
' torj' of C. A. .lohns was demolished, as
were also the factories of Ybor & Ma
nara, Theodore Preznc &0*IIallareh.
The First Presbyterian church and the
palatial Tampa Kay hotel were badly
damaged. Several smaller structures
were also demoli&hed. The total loss
on buildings at Tampa is estimated at
550,000, ;
Friday advices were received from
St. Augustine, which has been cut off
since Tuesday. These advices were
brought by Mrs. Anna M. Mureotte.
the Times-Union's St. Augustine re?
porter, who made the trip on a hand- ?
car. Mrs. Mareot.te gave a graphic ac?
count of the condition of thing- at St.
Augustine. No lives were lost, but
several houses were wrecked, and the i
loss will run into the thousands.
Nearly all the windows of the city
were blown in and the houses Hooded
with water. The Ponce de be-on hotel
was damaged in this way, The loss on |
the hotel furrttyyre U heavy. At St. !
Aug/ust^ waves dashed over the
S?a/'\u*Us and made rivers of the
Streets. Many wharves were blown |
away.
Between Jacksonville and St AU?-u?
tine not a telegraph pole;, was left
standing.
The damage t,p, wr'*nge growers is
incalculably the largo groves the
gro,u,tut Is completely covered with
jrreen oranges; The loss will be fully
'20 per cent.
Every effort is being- made- t<\ hear
from Titusville. J unite c and Key West,
which arc ?upwv?v-d to have been in the
storm/h yyaiter." i
pispatehes Friday night Indicate 1
that the storui was as severe in the in
teyior-of the State es on the coast. It
is safe to say that the storm has cost
Florida more than ?1.000,000, but no '
lives have been lost, unless at Key i
West, Titusville, Jupiter anil Qtibor
east coast points. I
