LATE NEWS BY WIRE — Police Commissioner Sheehan Again on the Stand. SESSION OF THE LEXOW -COMMITTEE Mr. Goff Continues to Probe for Disclosures. WITNESS LOSES HIS TEMPER NEW YORK, October 30.—Police Com- missioner Sheehan had another explanation to make today on his testimony of yester- day to the Lexow committee. “Policeman McManus,” said he, “to whom you referred yesterday, was indicted by the stand jury and tried in the court of gen- etal sessions.” “That does not explain why the police board did not dispose of the charge,’ re- torted Mr. Goff. “Do you not regard the escape of Katie Schubert (a witness) as a miscarriage of Justice?” Mr. Goff asked the witness. ‘In what respect?” “Didn't it strike you as peculiar that she was allowed to depart without being asked about Inspector McLaughlin?” “Yes, I said so at the time.” “Was not some potent influence at work to shield him?” “T can’t say.” “What is your opinion of the detective force in allowing her to “I understand she was in the concas of detectives employed by counsel to the board and under surveillance of the bureau.” “Did you hear rumors that other institu- tions besides the pool rooms were paying for ‘protection?’ ” “I heard rumors. Why, I got anonymous letters. I got one yesterday afternoon about you. Do you want to see it?” asked the Cocamisatoner, taking an envelope from his pocket. “It is not necessary,” quickly answered Mr. Goff; “I have received bushels of anony- mous letters about you. “It would not be fair to charge the whole Police foree with taking that money from the pool sellers when only a few did,” re- sumed Mr. Sheehan. Counsel Goff pressed the witness for an explanation as 1 why he 1ad not brought some of the culprits to justice when the rumors were flying so thickly. “I couldn't fasten any particular crime on any one party of our officials. “Let us see; corruption was pretty gen- eral. Did you know the sailmakers had to id you know Long Island clam diggers had to pay?” “Where did they come in?” asked the commissioner. “Never mind. Did you hear houses of ill fame had to pay?” heard rumors.”” ‘Oh; rumors again,” sneered Mr. Goff. ‘I was in the company cf men who said pool sellers paid for protection, but I couldn't trace who paid it.” Senator Lexow inquired why the police board had not asked the corporation coun- sel’s opinion on certain questions. The wit- ness did not know. “What do you do to earn your salary?” asked Mr. Goff. -“Perform the duties devolving on me as a commissioner.” Witness satd he saw that the money ap- propriated was properly expended. “Yes, I suppose you see to the $5,000," sald Mr. Goff. A tilt between the commissioner and Chairman Lexow resulted from the latter's question: “Would you decline to accept the testimony of a bawdy house keeper against @ police official?” “I decline to answer that question. When case ts brought before me I will give my decision, but I will not say now what I think of the value of such evidence,” de- flantly answered the witness. Mr. Goff wanted to know how the com- missioner came to vote for acquittal of Capt. Doherty and for the fining of Capt. Marten thirty days’ pay and Capt. Price five days’. The charge against the three captains had been the same—neglect of duty. ‘The witness could not very well explain bis votes tn the three cases. “I cannot understand,” said Chairman Lexow, “how you have failed to avail your- self of the information in the superintend- ent’s office to the effect that in every pre- cinct there were disorderly houses.” “The superintendent had charge of that.” a Aged was Capt. Price less guilty?” asked r. well “the central office detectives did not make out a strong case.” “Did you ever hear that certain police be a were pets of the Sheehan-Williams ring?” “I never heard of that ring.” “Did not certain captains have influence with certain commissioners?” jot that I know of.” “Tell us the case of a single captain who was tried on charges. not prompted by this committee.” “Capt. Price, tried for testifying falsely against Warren Lewis.” “Warren Lewis was a particular crony of yours,” sneered Mr. G “No more than Sheehan retorted. “Capt. Price is a member of the Pequod yours, Commissioner ‘ot now. He resigned last December.” Mr. Goff then produced the correspondence which transpired between Dr. Parkhurst and the police board. He read Inspector Williams’ report, in which that officer said: “I think Dr. Parkhurst’s language Is dis- graceful for a man of his intelligence, and ciearly shows his animus against the police department.” lave your chans 7 opinions of the doctor The commissioners were going to throw the doctor's communication into the waste basket at one time,” commented Mr. Goff. ‘The witness told how he had endeavored to obtain evidence in Corcoran’s saloon, on East 35th street, and was unable to do so.

Tabor of the grand jury In March, 1892, that seven millions were paid in tribute to the police annually. veg? commissioner excitedly shouted, “He ed.” rhat?" exclaimed Mr. Goff; “one of the best-known citizens in this city, who has frequently been a foreman of our grand jury?” “He led when he sald the department collected millions of blackmail,” asserted the commissioner. “Did he lie when he sald the department collected blackmail?” “He lied as to the amount.” “How do you know?" asked the chair- man “Because It Is impossible to collect mil- Mons without the elty rising and stamping out the practice.” “That's what they are going to do,” sald Senator O'Conner. —_ RAL DISCHARGE. Bakers in This City Materially Re- ducing Their Force. The journeymen bakers of the city are fn a state of consternation today at some recent numerous discharges of workmen in the local bakeries. As far as can be learn- ed from the journeymen the discharges, while simultaneous, do not appear to have been the result of a preconcerted movement upon the part of the employers. ‘The bakers, however, do not understand how the employers can afford to dispense with the men in view of the statement so frequently made in the past few weeks by the bosses that there is a scarcity of work- men in this city and that the shops have not been able to keep a full force at all times. ‘The discharges nave amounted to thirteen men and several apprentices, with the prob- ability that two more men will be laid off next ek. It is sald that Meinberg, Schneider, Hoffmen, Havenner, Buger, Leitz and Stolpp are the employers who have reduced their forces. It is said by the bakers that Meinberg discharged six men and one apprentice because they refused to work with a New York baker whom Meinberg brought here. Meinberg Is said to have !mmediately em- Joyed non-union men, and a fight between fim and the union is probable. The dis- charges in the other shops are said to be due to various reasons given by the indi- vidual employers, without reference to any general grievance. | be forgotten. | mony. THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1894—-TWELVE PAGES. DEATH OF WILLIAM OWENS The Smallpox Claimed Its Third Victim This Morning, No New Cases Found Today and the Health Authorities Pleased With the Situation. No new smallpox patients were reported to the health office up to 3 o’clock today, the new features since yesterday in the situation being the death of Wm. Owens this morning and the discovery of a case of the disease at Hyattsville, Md., in the person of Van Buren Norwood, an employe of the Interior Department. There was a rumor today also of a case of another em- ploye at Garrett Park, which could not be verified. ‘Two suspicious cases were reported in the” . city, but neither of them proved to be smallpox. At 3 o'clock this afternoon Health Officer Woodward was well pleased with the situation. No new case had been discovered today nor was there even a suspicious case which needed investigating. Thus far he was satisfied that all the cases had been infected from the Coston family, which showed to his mind that there 1s no epidemic, and he hopes that the last case has appeared. At 2 o'clock this afternoon Dr. Nevitt sent in the bulletin: “The patients are all doing remarkably well.” Another Death. “William Owens died about 4 o'clock this morning. Others are ali doing well.” This was the 9 o'clock bulletin posted in front of the health office this morning. “The smallpox situation Is encouraging,” sald Health Officer Woodward to a Star re- porter soon after the bulletin was posced. The death of young Owens has caused no great amount of surprise, for his case has been regarded as the most serious case in the smallpox hospital. Being a mere boy, he did not seem to fully realize the danger of his disease, and Dr. Nevitt experienced considerable trouble in giving him proper treatment. Yesterday he became much worse, as was shown in the bulletins recelved from the aospital, and his death was not unexpected. Besides this one death, making the third fatal case, there was one new case reported yesterday. The victim is Samuel Mundel, colored, forty years old, who lived at 433 4th street northeast. He is an uncle of Mary Mundel, the domestic in the Coston family who died in the hospital last week. Case at Hyattsville. In addition to this, another case has de- veloped. The patient in this case is Van Buren Norwood, a census office employe. He is at his home in Hyattsville. Surgeon Gen. Wyman seat word to Dr. Wells at Hyattsville last night, and the latter turn- he case over to Dr. Richardson. This fal word was received at the health office that Dr. Keenan of the census office had been out to see the patient and had pro- nounced his case one of smallpox. Leoking for the Woman. Concerning the reported death of Lettie Mundel at Pisgah, Md., the Maryland offi- cers have been unable to even find the wo- man and could not therefore verify the rumor. Surgeon Gen. Wyman, however, is determined to find the whereabouts of the woman and ascertain just what is her con- dition if she has not died. To this end he sent one of his corps of surgeons to Gly- mont today with instructions to make a thorough investigation. ‘ A Snd@ Ending. Wm. M. Owens, the young man who died at the hospital this morning, was the youngest son of the late Colonel James E. Owens, a famous hotel proprietor, for many years at Atlanta, Ga. He was a rather delicate boy of seventeen years old last January, and was the support of his mother, and always a kind and loving son. When he was taken sick last Friday night he was most tenderly and carefully nursed by his mother and sister day and night until the following Wednesday, when the nature of his sickness was discovered for the first time, and he was then removed to the hospital, but against the desire or wish of his mother and sister, The shock of his death this morning was a terrible one to his mother and sister, as well as to his many friends in the city and among his associates in the Interior and Census De- partments. When the death of yourg Owens was made known at the health office the ques- tion of giving him a decent burial was dis- cussed. It se2ms to be the general impres. sion that all persons whe die in the hos- pital must be buried in potter's field, but such Is rot the case. Physicians, as a rule, think there is no special danger from the bedy after death and the health officer said that the wrapping of the body in a bi- chloride cloth would be sufficient. He would not permit a public funeral, nor would he give permission for the removal of the body from the city. The body of the deceased was taken to the dead house soon after he expired. Today arrangements were made for the interment, which will take place in Congressional cemetery about 5 o'clock this afternoon. The body will be removed from the dead house to the cemetery by the health employes at the quarantine station. Another Nurse. Another trained nurse was sent to the smallpox hospital yesterday. Dr. Nevitt is the only physician there, and he now has two trained nurses, as well as the as- sistance of the man and his wifé who oc- cupy the hospital when there are no pa- tients there. Everything at the quarantine station is In good working order, and the Steam fumigator and the steam’ disinfec- tor arrived here today from Philadelphia. They will probably be In working order this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Getting Vaccinated. Pupils in the public schools who have not been vaccinated are being kept away from school, the result being that there are many vacant seats in the schools just now. Reform School. In view of the smallpox in: the city the authorities of the reform school think it advisable to request the parents and friends of the boys not to go out to see them until the health officer of the District declares the city free from the disease. In this the physician of the school concurs, who has, by direction of the president of the board of trustees, vaccinated all the officers and boys who have not heretofore been vaccl- nated. ATION. P. A. Took a Hand in h Contest. Charged That 4 av Some startling developments are promised in the trial of Policeman Pearson of the ninth precinct, who has been charged with all manner of bad thmes by a prominent Catholic clergyman. Tt 1s understood that the charges grew out of the contest which was recently carried on by a city paper for a gold watch to the most popular police officer on the force. The two most promi- nent candilates in the race were Lieut. Kelley and Officer Pearson. Lieut. Kelley, as is well known, is a Catholic, and when it was charged that the A. P. A. was work- ing in behalf of Pearson the contest be- came hot all along the Ine. Lieut. Kelley won by a large margin. The friends of both sides, after the contest had been decided, accepted the situation, and it was belleved that the matter would shortly Recently the Catholic clergy- man filed charges against Officer Pearson with the Commissioners and yesterday they were sent to Maj. Moore for investigation, and, if necessary, trial. It 1s understood that the letter is’ spicy and contains some sensational charges, —_-—— MARRIED IN PHILADELPHIA.

A NEW PHASE Senator Faulkner Makes Some Pre- dictions of Success. nt A BETTER DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK The Decided Claim of the Con- gressional Committee Chairman. BETS ON HILL MADE A week from today the campaigning will all have been done and the votes will be dropping into the ballot boxes. Then, and not until then, will there be an end of “claims” and “confidence” and other pre- election elements, which form a great haze of uncertainty over the entire situation. There has unquestionably been a thoroughly republican cast to the case for several weeks, and it has been apparent that the democratic managers in this city have not ventured to meet the assertions of their republican opponents by positive asser- tions. But today there comes a decided claim from Senator Faulkner, chairman of the democratic congressional committee, which, if well based, certainly puts a new phase on the situation. Said the Senator this morning to a Star reporter: Wisconsin to Go Democratic. “In years when there is talk of a land- slide, when the enemy is predicting that there will be a great change of sentiment, it is always well to look for confirmation at the doubtful states, and not at those which are normally strong in their ten- dencies elther one way or another. Such a state is Wisconsin. The early news from there was not cheering to us here. It was decidedly the reverse. But I now have re- liable information, on which I place great trust, to the effect that the democrats will carry not only the entire state ticket, but also a majority of the congressional ¢ele- gation. That is somewhat of a surprise, is it not? I have never myself seen how the republicans could beat Peck for gov- ernor. He has given the state a magnificent administration, and in his two terms has reduced the expenditures to the minimum. He is, besides, immensely popular with the people, and will draw the full democratic ‘hat will help the congressional ticket, too, and I am talking on the basis of late information when I say that we shall have a majority of the Congressmen, The same is true in Illinois, where we shall hold our own in the delegation. The legislature will be democratic, insuring the election of a democrat to the Senate in place of Mr. Cul- lom. There is a little trouble among the democrats about the state ticket, and so we may not be able to elect it all, but a part of the ticket will certainly be carried. In Indiana a majority of the congressional delegation will also be democratic. A Solid Delegation From West Vir- ginia, “I consider West Virginia as one of the best fields for observation under these con- ditions. That is a close state, and, though usually democratic, it is good fighting ter- ritory for the republicans in any campaign, They have made a tremendous effort there this year; nevertheless I expect to see a solid democratic delegation elected from my state, I think that Mr, Wilson is safe beyond any question, unless the republicans throw a good deal of money into the district at the last moment. That is a democratic district, under usual circumstances, and the only fight is to get out the democratic vote, ‘This year there is a fierce campaign on, and the full vote will, I think, be polled,’ ‘Tie only district where there is any doubt is that of Mr. Alderson, but 1 believe he will pull through. ‘The other districts are safely democratic. The legislature. will also be democratic. - ri The New York Situation. “As to New York, I have no recent news directly from there, but from what I hear, there are but two districts in New York city that I consider as at all uncertain. One of these is that of Mr. Quigg, and the other I do not care now to name. I believe, though, that Quigg will be defeated, and so the other district is the only one, in my judg- ment, where there is any danger to our party. There ts only one uncertain district in Brooklyn. The others are safe enough. We shall probably carry the Elmira district, now represented by Mr. Gillett, a repubil- can. 1 do not think there is any trouble in Mr. Lockwood's present district in Buffalo. The Cleveland men and Hill men are pull- ing together all through the western part of the state, as, indeed, they are elsewhere, and I do not expect to see the great wa’ that has been talked of. Most of Mr. Clev land's personal friends have gone into the campaign for Mr. Hill, and it seems to me that if there was any breach between the factions it has been almost, if not quite, closed up. Quite Another View. This kind of talk is a novelty at the demo- cratic headquarters, where the folks have so far contented themselves with speaking hopefully of the situation in “glittering gen- eralties."” The idea of a democratic victory in Wisconsin is a new one, so far as Wash- ington advices are concerned. But Mr. Fauikner does not agree with some of his democratic friends in this city, who think they see signs of a reversal of his hopes, in West Virginia, at least. Said a District democrat, who accompa- nied Mr. Wilson on his recent trip through the state: “It is impossible that there should be a solid delegation. 1 consider that the first district, which includes Wheei- ing, is now lost beyond any r Mr. Wuison is also beaten unless he can pull up very greatly in the next few days. Then, too, it is said, Alderson has a stiff fight on bis hands. He, lke Wilson and Howard, are doomed; for, mark my words, this is a republican year in West Virginia. I shall be surprised to find more than one demo- crat in the delegation. The state is being contested as never before, and every avail- able man that can be thrown on the stump by our people is going out this week. But I fear it cannot stem the tide.” Assistant Secretary Hamlin of the treas- ury was to have left this morning for West Virginia to take part in a big meeting at Martinsburg tomorrow night, but he missed his train and was obliged to wait until this evening. Congressman Hooker of Missis- sippi has also been called into West Virgin- ta by the committee. ‘The Jersey Legislature Gone. There is much talk in town about New Jersey, which does not serve to show that the committee's hopeful views are well | founded so far east as that sandy state. It is learned here today that Senator Smith, who is at the actual head of the campaign in New Jersey, has about given up hope of carrying the legislature, ahd is practically conceding a majority of the congressional delegation to the republicans. There was a conference at Newark on Sunday between him and his confidential advisers, at which, it is said, the Senator was shown that the trend of public opinion is so strongly against the democrats that large expenditures will be necessary this week in order to save the state. A conservative estimate placed the sum needed at $100,000, which was, of course, to come from Senator Smith's ple- thoric purse. So now it remains to be seen whether or not the Jersey “‘barl” is to be tapped in the eleventh hour. The best indi- cations were that the Senator will refuse to put his money into the fight. Betse on Hill. The friends of Mr. Hill in Washington are making a few bets of even money on his election. They de not seem to have any difficulty in getting their mcney covered. ‘The raker of such a bet said today that he telieved Hill will be elected by from 10,000 to 20,000. All talk of a big majority either way, he declared, is nonsense. He admitted that he based his bet on the be- lief that Hill will reach Harlem bridge with a larger majority than any other democratic candidate who ever ran for goverr og, and this, he says, will be largely due to the fact that the anti-A. P. A. peo- ple are going to come out strong next ‘Tuesday in favor of Hill, espectally in the upper part of the state, where that issue has been persiste: tly raised.

The banquet which is usually given on the evening of the anniversary was abandoned. Father Ivan conducted services during the day, first in the chapel at Livadia and afterward at Yalta. The corresponient of the Pall Mall Ga- zette says that the illness of the czar has again assumed a serious turn and that al- though he is not actually dying the end near.

Ten-Two F St. High-Grade rrrect of comme sucar rates! Shoes When the Pool Begins to Unload Its Holdings. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS ‘ Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, October 30.—The sentiment of the trading element favored a rally at the opening of today’s stock market, but all efforts in that direction were nullified by the liquidation of long holdings, particularly in the coalers. There is no improvement in e character of speculation, the bulk of which is purely professional, and the supply of bull material is at an extremely low ebb. The anti-election rally so confidently pre- dicted a short while ago is no longer con- sidered as likely. There is a large short in- terest in tht market, however, and improved values at the expense of the bears would reward any aggressive buying. This was clearly indicated by the room's tendency to bid up prices on every attempt to cover dur- ing the day. The coal situation has noth- ing in it on which a theory for higher prices can be constructed, the short interest only excepted. Jersey Central sold up 11-2 per cent in the first five minutes’ trading, but yielded easily to liberal sales for both accounts Until a reduction of 3 per cent was reached. Buying at the decline forced the price back to initial figures. Delaware and Hud- gon sold off at the start, but rallied later for a gain of 2 per cent. Reading was bought by Philadelphia on what was re- garded as a satisfactory indorsement of the reorganization plan and the public ad- vantages that would accrue from a rate war on original companies. The dissatisfied element among the junior security holders will probably be identified with the fluctua- ticns in the market price of this property before long. Manhattan and Lake Shore each gained 1 1-4 per cent on moderate transactions by the room. The Grangers were improved from 1-2 to 3-4 per cent on covering, but attracted only a@ small volume of business. Sugar sold up 3-4 per cent after a weak opening and was fairly well supported around first prices. High grade sugars were reduced 1-8 per cent this morning and low grades 1-16 in order to bring the trusts’ prices down to the level established by individual refineries not included in the trust. At this reduction, which is the sec- ond since Saturday, every sale entails a small loss to the refiner.
