f AFTER PLATT ~-AND TAMMANY, Mayor Strong Said to Be Playing a Deep Came in City Politics, HIG. SURPRISES PROMISED Every Department in the City Government to Be Rigidly Tavestigated. ARTY FIGHTS A DEAD LETTER. The Mayor's Friends Say He's Working for Republican Success Next Fall If the expectations of Mayor 6 and some of his subordinates are realized the investigation of the financial affairs of some of the city departments will re- ult in revelations which will put the isclosures brought about by the Lexow Committee far into the shade. ‘The investigation wae {naugurated yes- terday when an expert accountant was Getatled to go over the books of the Dock Department, preparatory to se curing evidence from them to be ad- @uced by a regular investigation, the method of holding whigh will be decided upon either to-day or to-morrow. The investigation will be conducted by the Commissioners of Accounts and an effort will probably be made to hold ft behind closed doors. It ts probable, however, that the Mayor will order an open inquiry. There is $100,000 available to prosecute the investigation, which, if the plans now being considered by the Mayor are carried out, will continue for the best part of a year. The Dock Department will be venti- lated first, or rather the investigation begun by the Mayor's instructions soon after the appointment of Commissioners O’Brien and Minagess has progressed far enough to juatity a public inquiry. Primed with Statistics of Years. ‘The Mayor has received almost daily Feports of the discoveries made by the Commissioners from a close acrutiny of the books of this Department, showing {ts transactions for ral years prior to Jan. J. He has also received reports giving the results of inquiries into the financial affairs ofsother departments of tho city, These reports, two of which were transmitted to him yesterday by the’ Commissioners of Accounts, are far reachin@ In Goge, though necessarily limited as to actual results on account of the short time that has elapsed since they were begun. The utmost secrecy ts being observed in conductipg the inquiries into the af- fairs of all the bureaus that the Mayor has ordered probed, and it is planned to bring out the least !mportant disclosurea| fret, after the manner followed in the Police investigation last year. In order that there shall be no prema- ture leaks, the Mayor has requested the Commissioners of Accounts to withhold information of their operations from the) Rewspapers, but in spite of all these Precautions, it has been learned that steps have already been taken to inver tigate every civil branch of the city aei vice, Dock Department Co Firat. ‘The Dock Department will come first. After that the Charities and Correction Department, it 1s understood, will get a thorough raking’ over, No department 1s to be overlooked, and tt is known that the Mayor is taking a much keener in- terest in the overhauling that he is in politics or anything el Two or three persons in the Mayor's confidence know that he has been hu ging to himself bis plan of purifying the city from stem to stern, and will depend upon the results of his efforts in this direction for the public estimate of the success or failure of his reform administration. The political and patronage conditions that existed when he came into office have been adjusted in a manner that eults him, whether they suit anybody else or not, and his action in disposing of them will be permitted to justity themselves by the results. The investigation is to be conducted in accordance with a fixed plan adopted by the Mayor even before he was in- Gucted into office. He is said to hat & veritable Pandora's box up at his fact orzrne fot ne, Rat more concerned in fighting Hoss Platt nd making Presidents than in the ac- tual welfare of the city government.

TO FERRET OUT DOCK FRAUDS. ©. W. Haskins Will Act as Deteetiv. as Well as Investigate: C, W. Haskins, expert accountant, who fs to have charge of the investigation Anto the affairs of the Dock Department, looked over some of the books to-day, ‘but will do nothing of importance until $100,000 for use of the Commissioners of Accounts, Then a number of assistants ‘will be engaged for Mr. Haskins, and be will be authorised to report everything which looks like a cover for peculiar transactions by the old Tammany Com- missione! Tt was stated today that Mr. Haskins will go through the books of the De- partment, but expects, to find nothing peculiar there, Then he will look into some of the transactions that were not kept, on record, and by which, it Is al- leged, certain Tammany men have be- come’ wealthy, To make this investiga tion thorough, witnesses will be sum- moned and examined by the Commission- ers of Accounts, with Mr. Haskins a8 prompte Mr. Haskins haa been velected to do the work by the Mayor personally, and the latter 19 to direct the investigation. Mr. Hasking was recommended because of his work In Washington, where he was employed in June, 1893, by the Dock ery Commission to look into the affairs of the Treasury, Interior and Port-ofice Departments. je wi engaged on this work until recent! 1s credited with having made the suggestions that re- sulted In the abolition of a great deal of red tape, which made it almost Impos- sible to get a claim considered by the Governme!

William J. Fanning, whom Mayor Strong appointed a Police Magistrate last week, Is one of those rare men that the world once in a great while wit- nesses in the act of trying to doge a Job. Mr. Fanning’s appointment was as much of a surprise to him as it was to the politicians. It was sald. In fact, that the Mayor intended to appoint an: other Fanning, The Mayor says not, The Mr. Fanning who was appointed | expressed hie gratitude at the honor and all that sort of thing, and when the Mayor sent for him to’ be sworn he came all right, but sald he'd have to think {t over. “He hadn't made up his mind whether he wanted the poritlon. Se yor Strong was wurprined, but waked | Mr. Fi ‘anning to let him know about the matter to-day. | Mr. Fanning said he would, but he didn’t His ‘brother-in-law, John Bérke, told one of Mayor Strong's advisers, ‘how- ever, that Mr, Fanning would not ac- cept. Mr. Burke said Mr. Fanning's law Practice wus too \sluabie to sacrifice, tls expected that Mr. Fanning will) ly notify the Mayor that he t want to be a Police Magistrate this afternoon, and the Mayor will ap- point somebody else. John O. Mott and E. B. Hinsdale, two of the new Special Sexsiona Judges, were sworn in by the Mayor to-day.

Her Husband Believes Death Was Caused by Asthma. Mra. Eva Davis, wife of Michae! Davis, a shoe dealer at 1070 Second avenue, died suddenly early this morning, the result, Dr. Dowling believes, of taking poison accidentally, Mrs. Davis was the mother of seven children, the oldest a daughter eighteen years old and the youngest seven years old, For some time Mrs. Davis had been suffering with asthma and other com- plaints. A short time ago a friend pre- scribed for her a medicine which filled a quart bottle. It was the color of choco- late. She took the medicine just before retiring. The younger children were tucked in bed early Insc night and Mrs, Davis, her husbr.nd and eldest daughter sat in front of t1e store until 11.80 o'clock, when Mra. Davis went up to her room to re- tire. Up to that time she was in ex- cellent spirits. Just before getting into bed Mra. Davis uncorked the new bottle of medi- cine and took a dose. In less than a minute she was screaming with pains in her abdomen. Mr. Davis and her daughter ran to her assistance. Mrs. Davis stopped scream- ing and pointed to her throat. She could not breathe, and was growing black In the oice. Her eyes were start- ing from their sockets, and the veins in her face stood out like cords. Brandy was handed to her, but she dashed the glass from her husband hand.

Butt, late full-back, Yale foot ball team, writes : “New Yorx, May 10, 1895. “It-was the result of a wager with a friend which caused me to put on my foot ball clothes a week ago and begin kicking ‘‘drops and “punts” as though life held no other object. Experience of years had taught me that the sure outcome of so kicking without the usual working up process meant @ lame thigh—in short, an induced inability to kick the ball a foot on the morrow. My friend, however, to decide a discussion as to the merits of different liniments and the like for strains, had induced me to become the trial horse. | After kicking hard for a half hour, I underwent a deal of rubbing with SALVAsCBA. He con- tended that through its powers to alleviate stiffness and soreness, my ability to kick would be unim- paired. I did not believe himn— | yet lo and behold, the pungent salve staved off every sign of lame- ness and the next day { kicked without the slightest discomfort. In consequence I feel bound to admit that SALVA*CEA is a little giant, and a necessity to every athlete as well as an indis- pensable article in the medicine chest of every household,” Two sizes, 25 and 50 cents, At druggists’, or by mail, Braxpreta Co., 274 Canat Sr., N.Y.
