THESE ALDERMEN SHOULD TAKE CARE.

II They Boycott Gen. Newton They May
Lose What Places They Have.
Gen. Newton does not deny that the Alder
men have stopped passing ordinances for the
repairing and repaving Of streets, but he says
that he has not enlisted in any fight with
them.
There ID no doubt that the Aldermen are
angry because the repairing work is being
let out by contract. This prevents the en-
ploymept of their constituents by days work
and by appointment Of the Commissioners Of
Public Works or his deputies.
It was rumored around the City Hall to-day
that If the Aldermen continue the deadlock
against the Department of Public Works
they will not only not get any new patronage
there, but may lose what they have.

Not Return to Bid ut the Sale.
Until about q week ago the Hotel Shell
burn, at Fifth avenue and Thirty sixth
street, was the home of many New Workers
of means. To-day it is deserted by boarders
and Is invaded by an eager horde of bargain
seekers, who are bidding on its elegant fur
niture, which is being sold under the auc-
tioneer's hammer.
The building il a portion of the great Aston
estate. and its lessees we're Homer l.. and
Willis N. Blinn, brothers.
Homer l.. Blinn, the senior partner, had
been i'll for q long time. He removed to his
old home in the Green Mountains for the
benefit Of his health. During his absence
the burden of business fell upon his brother.
II apparently was too much for him to carry.
for one morning about four weeks ago the
hotel awoke to q realization of the fact that
its proprietor had fed.

but they continued to run the hotel, hoping

ment of their wages.
He did not come. and the hotel was closed
q week week ago by the trustees of the .Astor
estate, who proceeded to foreclose q chattel
mortgage for 1921, 900 and interest on the fix
lures and furniture of the building. The
sale, which was begun this morning, will
continue until Tuesday, and is the result of
that foreclosure.
Before the foreclosure, however. Deputy
Sheriff McGinness made a levy upon the
wine cellar and silver closet to collect q judg-
meht of %, 1872. "a in favor of Allerton 4 Mer-
rift, creditors of the missing Blinn.
This morning the hotel was thrown. open
TO the public. The auctioneer's clerk had
preceded the crowd with his box of crayons.
and from cellar to garnet, on every conceiva-
BILE article of furniture. and in some cases on
portions of the building, were chalked the
lots" from 1 to 200.
One man, whose curiosity concerning the
contents of the building had not gone be-
yond the limits of the wine cellar. had evil
IDENTIFY found an entrance last night, for he
was discovered in q drunken stttpor lying in
q corner of the kitchen. The lock on the
wine. cellar near by. had been forced. The
bibulous individual was forcibly elected.
Among the buyers was Uncle Rufus Hatch,
who, was "plunging." on a very minute scale.
He had evidently been shorn of his Wall
street horns, for his epdeavor was to depre.
ciate values. A much fy-specked drop-lamp
fell to his lot On q two dollar put, and a black
walnut bedstead was acquired for little more
than q song.
Some of the prices obtained were very fair,
but Counsellor Tracy, Of Evarts, Choate 4
Beaman, who represent the Astors, thought
that they would not realize more than $40, 00(
on the sale.
This loss will not embarrass the Astori
financially, it is needless to say.

East Seventy-seventh street. focked to the
third floor this morning on the report Of q
pistol shot followed by q woman's screams.
The sound came from the rooms occupied
by Mary Welbert and her brother. Opening
the door, the neighbors saw a man lying on
the floor, with blood flowing from a wound
in the right side of his body. while Miss
welbert bent over him. wringing her hands
in terror.
An ambulance was quickly summoned, and
the man was removed to the Presbyterian
Hospital, where his u was pronounced
dangerous.
Miss Welbert was taken to the East Sixty

Capt. Gunner that the wounded man was
Milton s. Bibby, aged twenty-six years, Of
210 East Seventy-sixth street, and was EN-
ployed in the machine shops Of the Third

Miss Welbert, who is only nineteen years
old, was engaged to be married to Bibby for
nearly Q year, but lately, having heard that
he had been paying attentions to another
He vainly pleaded with her for some days
to change her mind, threatening to end his
life If she persisted in refusing him, and this
morning he called to make 0 final effort.
Finding her still .obdurste, he drew q re.
volver, and, placing its muzzle ct the back Of
his neck, was about to pull the trigger when
she seized the hand which held the pistol.
In the struggle to obtain possession of the
weapon the hammer descended, catching the
flesh between her thumb and forefnger.
Shaking himself loose. Bibby placed the
pistol against his right side and pulled the
trigger, exolaiming at the same time "Tve
done It now, Z" and sank to the floor, with the
blood pouring from his wound.
At the hospital Bibby. made o statement,
saying that he had shot himself because Mary
refused to marry him. He begged the
authorities to send for her SO that they could
be married before he died.

He said that his organization was connected

Brown-stens Rabbsrs and Architects.

10 the Editor u rae Evening World.
At q recent meeting Of the Building Trades
Section of the Central Labor Union O dele
gate OF the Brown-Stone Rubbers' Associa-
ton made o bitter attack on o certain class Of
the New York architects, who are looked on
as men of honor, and whom the public gen.
orally put confidence In but, unfortunately.
he said. such confidence was and is some
times sadly misplaced, o. many could testify.
The brown stone bosses In order to ~retaliate
on the rubbers for going on strike two years
ago, determined to do away with rubbed
work. They could do 80 only by inducing
the architects to alter the specifications OF
buildings then in course Of erection. 30 as to
substitute fooled" work for rubbed work,
and specify fooled" work only for future
buildings.
Though architects know only too well that
rubbed work is far superior to fooled "
work, both for beauty and utility, they sue
cumbed to the inducements" OF The bosses.
These architects, he said, allowed themselves
to become the instruments of the bosses
vengeance, wreaked on the heads Of poor
laboring men.
1t is to be hoped that such architects, by
their too ready trucking TO bosses wishes.
would not compel organized labor In self
defense to severely let alone any buildings or
works they may have anything to do with.

fried Waller, one of the Inform
ers" who testified in the anarchist
trial to the so-called conspiracy
meeting held before the Hay
market meeting. The substance
of the affidavits is that Waller,
after his arrest. was compelled to
call at the Chicago avenue police
station every evening at eight
o'clock and was taken home by
Detective Stiff. Waller told his
sister that Captain Setback prom
ised him liberty if he would give
certain testimony against the an
archists, otherwise he would be
hanged like the rest. Waller
often received money from Cap
tain Setback and a promise OF
81, 900 after testifying. Waller
was sent to Germany. the money
being furnished by the po-
lice. Waller said that all of his
testimony was untrue, but was
forced from him by the threats
and promises of the police. Wal
Ter did no work after his arrest,
but lived entirely on the money
furnished by the Chicago police.
He is now living at Hamburg,

order of Captain Shack. He
was paid at first S. a week and
afterwards $40. Shortly after the
trial Waller and Theil, another

Captain Schaak bought thetickets

herself went to get some money

great tncmc over WHICH
gaily and airily skips. Speaking |
alone from his style, one would be
tempted to say that by nature, in
the absence of broad sympathies,
as well as by education, in the
Inarrowness of the study to which
his life is given, he is unified for
the discussion of this subject in
its larger bearings. He is profess
.sor of the science of human self
ishness, part, an important part,
of human nature, but not the
whole. He mistakes it for the
whole. He forgets that the great
Founder of his science treated
it as part, a subordinate part, of
the science of moral philosophy
as duty is higher than mere ex-
pediency. The professor talks as
if his theme were only a question
of alms-giving and alms-taking
andis very solicitous lest some
one may rob the rich, He seems
not to understand that one may
justly denounce a social state
which results in the few becoming
rich and the many very poor, and
yet without attaching personal
blame to either the poor or the
rich.
He displays numerous foolish
utterances of real or imaginary
pc ople about labor and capital,
and discourses of them in true ad
eattandxm style. He boldly ad-
vocates the aggregation Of capital
in the individual as thing good
for the public as weh,as the indi-
vidual, and predicts. much larger
individual gettings than those
which now startle the world. He
has much to say about the impor
tance ofjoint-stock companies and
the necessity for large aggrega-
tions of capital in this form;
thinks they will be better manag-
ed if under the control of one man
than board. and seems to imply
that this will be better accom-
plished if the one man owns the
entire capital.
