Park Row, New York. Entered ut the Post-Ofice at New York as Second-Class Mail Matter. NO. 18,087. VOLUME 48...... Publishea by the Press Publishing Company, No. 68 to ‘) | | THE BRIDGE FIRE. ‘The burning of the new East River Bridge last even- ing was the most beautiful conflagration ever witnessed by New Yorkers. ing strands across the stream high in midair were ex- ceedingly spectacular—aerial pyrotechnics on a gieantic ecale, nature dwarfing Mr. Pain’s most ambitious Imita- tive art to insignificance. The sight was enjoyed by thousands in ecstatic forgetfulness of the danger and the large property loss. But let us turn from an appreciation of the fire's grandeur to the somewhat commonplace consideration of what caused it. By whose carelessness were the twenty- five barrels of oil and pitch stored on the top of the pier where @ spark might set them ablaze? Why was this Teckless storage of inflammable material permitted there high inafr which on terra firma would have caused se- vere penalties to be visited on the owner—tf, of course, | 3) the inspector saw it? Who was the inspector who did | * not inspect? It was to similar negligence that we owed the Park avenue subway explosion near the Murray Hil! Hotel.

THE MOLINEFUX VERDIC1, A-verdict may be looked for to-day in the Molineux case. The defense has lately availed itself of some very absurd testimony to establish the prisoner's innocence, ‘but it has hardly been mare absurd than that brought against him by the prosecution. It may have seemed to the Jay mind at times that the circumstances imputed a strong presumption of guilt to the young man-about- town mixed up in the intrigues of a fast set. But cir- cumstantial evidence, hazardous when apparently most convincing, has been very loose and inexact in this trial, Tt became’ exceedingly loose where it sought to condemn ® man to death because of a fancied resemblance of “supinated 6’ pen pressure and other details of pen- manship. And beyond this conflicting testimony of the hand- writing experts what else had the prosecution to offer in the way of evidence legally incriminating? Admitting | ® that the State made out a plausible hypothetical case against the prisoner, what did it show against him by direct evidence? Not that he bought the bottle-holder, or that he mailed it, or that it needed his expert knowl- edge of chemistry to procure the poison, or that the hir- pay ered Jetter-box and the requests for samples tp Ines from manufacturing chemists, suspicious, _Derhaps, in themselves, had a direct bearing on the kill- ‘ing of Mrs. Adams. Nor that the quarrel with Cornish Piya sufficient to induce an impulse to commit murder, Even moral certainty of the prisoner's guilt could not Justify a verdict against him. The Scotch verdict “Not proven” fits the case, THE MOYNIHAN CHARGES. , Among the charges on which ex-Capt. Moynihan is to be tried are some of a pecullarly interesting nature con- tained in an affidavit made by Frank Raimondo, hostler in the employ of the Street-Cleaning Department, Raimondo alleges that on June 9 last he and two keep- rs of a disorderly house in East One Hundred and Tenth Street met Moynihan by appointment and agreed to pay him $40 a month in hush money on the guarantee that (their resort would not be raided by the police. The next day the money was paid to the Police Captain and the resort continued to do business without interrup- Hon for a period of six weeks. At the end of that time Inspector Kane raided it over Moynihan’s head. The point of peculiar interest {s th of Partridge the conditions in this Precinct were to all fntents and purposes as bad as they had been in the days of Deveryism. They were sufficiently bad at any rate to justify these willing victims of blackmail in the beltet that they could ply their illicit profession on the old plan of payment, the only question being as to whether the rate of assessment under the new cs higher than under his predecessors, been in the precinct a week w Jowing an old Devery precedent, to step u a raj tain’s office, Inauire the price, and having lewrnet i pay it without protest.
