CONSOLIDATION KILLED.
Mr.. Farrell Has Bid Goodbye to the Har-
rison-Kearney Bill.
Especial to the jersey city Mescs.l


Especial to the JERSEY City Ne,cs.l
TRENTON, April II, 1ss9.-Farren has
said goodbye to the Harrison-Kearney
consolidation since the joint Democratic
caucus today; but he takes comfort
in the thought that he spoke his
mind to Senator Wyckoff, who
bolted the caucus decision to make the
bill party measure. Feeney described
FarrelPs speech as turning hand springs
and standing Senator Wyckoff on his
head.
The description does only partial justice
to the monkey and parrot time they had
in the caucus. Farrell had been saving
up bitterness from disappointed hope all
through the session and had spent none of
it, as he clung to the belief that the consoli-
dation would go through in the end.
When he discovered that there was no
more hope, he dumped the whole of his
wrath on Senator Wyckoff's devoted
head.
He denounced the Warren county Sena-
tor for bolting the caucus and attacked
his motives.
II voted against the bill on principle, y
Senator Wyckoff said.
EYES," Farrell is alleged to have re-
piled, at the same time exhibiting roll of
bills, principle like this"
&"You're an internal liar!'' roared Mr..
Wyckoff, almost beside himself with rage
"You lie" Farrell shouted back. Then
they went at each other hammer and
tongs, Notwithstanding all that President
Werts could do to preserve order.
Senator Edwards, Colonel Heppen-
heimer and others tried to do the oil on
the water act, but Wyckoff and Farrell
will henceforth meet as strangers.
In the Senate in the afternoon the bill
was definitely killed

The most peculiar feature about Sans

the birth of her litter, and the cat was
placed with them, and deserted

John MARITIME Lived a
Week With Wounds That
Should Have Been In
stant1y Fatal.
HE HAD A RECORD OF VITALITY.
4 Year Ago He Fractured His
Skull, but Fully Recovered, to
the Surprise of the Doctors.

The celebrated case Of Bill Poole, who
lived some time after being wounded in
vital spot, has been surpassed in this city
by an Italian, who lived week after hav.
ing been shot clear through the heart.
John Martino, who was employed on
the Lehigh Valley railroad improvements
at Communipaw, was cleaning pistol in
his shanty on johnson avenue, March %,
when the weapon was accidentally dis
charged and the bullet entered his left
SIDE
He was taken to Christ Hossital. where
he lowered between life and Death for a
week, and then died. An autopsy was
held upon the body, and it was found that
the bullet had passed clear through the
left side of his heart. 1t was also discov-
cred that the chest, near the heart was full
OF blood, which had flowed from the
wound in such quantity as to crowd the
heart out OF its place over toward the
right side.
DR.. Converse. who conducted the au-
topsy, was greatly astonished at these dis
coveries, and said that it was one of the
most remarkable cases in medical history.
Several cases are on record where peo-
pie have lived short time after being
wounded in vital spots, but there are but
few II any instances, where man has
lived week with his heart pierced and
the blood pushing that organ out of place,
as in this case.
What makes Martino's case all the more
remarkable, is the fact that about year
ago he became involved in dispute with
fellow workman, during which his skull
was fractured with "a pick axe
He was then taken to the hospital
and it was thought that he would surely
die But much to the physicians aston
ishment he recovered and left tha hos
pital to all appearance as wel as he ever
was

TROUBLE ON THE COAL DOCKS.


A Strike Is Getting Under Way and 1t Be-
gins to Look Serious.
There is trouble on the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad coal docks
and strike is imminent.
In fact it has begun.
Several of the coal handlers have left
work and will not resume unless their re-
quests are granted. ! saw wives pleading
with their husbands to go back to work,
but the men remained obdurate

There found the men in state of tur-

We're interviewed by delegation of the

answer The crowd of dissatisfied men
grows larger, their voices are louder, and
It is expected that this afternoon police
men will have to be present in order to
stop any disorderderly conduct.
A strike occurred on this same dock
about two years ago. The men were then
earning from $50 to So per week, but they
had some grievance and left work. They
had their way, but the price Of coal mere
was twenty-five per cent. higher than
in Elizabethport, and the trade went
there. A large number of men were
thrown out of employment, and since
then, in order to compete with the Eliza
bethport trade, the handlers 'Mwages have
been reduced until at the present time

starvation wages. Some of them are get

and families.

office. He said that he had heard of some
trouble on the dock, but had not yet in

the men were lazy and would not work,
but at the same time wanted their pay.

will not stop work"
An old railroad man said that the Coal
Handlers Society was at the back of the
trouble and that the men were being paid
to go out.

the corner of Henderson and Newark
streets, this morning 1t was largely at

the position they have taken.

KING AMONG THE ALEUTS. 80
The Strange Story of an American FilIf.
busterer on Alaska Soil.

The Strange Story of an American FilIf
busterer ON Alaska Soil.
CHICAGO, April 10, 1SS9.-A Washington
special says:-A very pretty little story
which promises to develop an interesting
trial comes to Washington from Alaska.
1t is to the effect that about three
years ago a man named Mcpherson sailed
from San Francisco, and eventually landed
on one of the Aleutian Islands, off the
coast of Alaska. Mr.. McPherson's en-
tire outfit consisted of suit of
clothes, an American flag, together
with a paper purporting to have
been signed by Attorney General
Garland, appointing him United States
Commissioner. AS soon as he landed On
the island he raised the American flag
with great deal of ceremony, took COM
mand of 800 natives, and compelled them
to address him as King" Mcpherson.
Each season he exacted heavy tribute.
Things went along very smoothly
when report states that he had
some difficulty with three of his subjects,
and fearing that there might be mutiny
he determined to dispose of all those who
did not bow to his authority.
He arrested three recalcitrant Aleuts,
tried them by court martial and sentenced
them to be hanged. He carried out the
sentence. Somehow or other report Of
McPherson's rule reached the Treasury
Department and special agent was sent
to his island to investigate the matter,
This agent recently reported the facts
to Secretary Window, substantially as
they are given above.
Now it is said that a revenue cutter will
be sent to the island for the purpose of
arresting Mcpherson. 1t is the intention
of the authorities to bring him to San
Francisco and try him for murder.

WAS THE FERRY BOAT FIRED2
Theories as to the Mysterious Burning Of
the New Brunswick.


the New Brunswick.
An air of mystery pervaded the Penn
sylvania depot yesterday. At the super
intendent's Office Captain Bloomensberry
was jealously guarded from interview by
his henchmen.
"We have nothing to give to the news
papers," was the answer given to my en-
quiry. "You already know more than we
do ourselves about the disaster We are
making thorough investigation, and
when that is over, will make known the
result to the public"
Engineer Ackley, of the ill-fated boat,
laughed at the idea of the fire being the
work OF an incendiary. But, beyond the
laugh his lips were padlocked.
The men from the New Brunswick have
been ordered to man the Jersey City, and
with the exception of Engineer Ackley
and Fireman John Douglas, to whom the
company has given a weeks leave of
absence, were all at their posts yesterday.
None OF them could or would advance any
theory that might explain the fire.
All acknowledged, however, that there
was mystery at the bottom of it. One of
the theories advanced is that the boat was
fired by a match or lighted cigar thrown
by truck driver through the engine
room into the waste room, where the
Dlaze started.
This is too improbable to stand. The
crew of the New Brunswick have been
for over three years in the employ of the
company, and speak in the highest terms
of their treatment since the disaster. /
saw one of the pilots of the Pennsyl-
vania's boats yesterday, VINO said:-"There
is certainly something very mysterious
about all this. The boiler room is
100 feet away from where the fire
started, which was Immediately under
the feet of the engineer. The fireman,
John Douglass, was clearing the guard
rail of the crank at the time and but the
moment before had been in the identical
spot where the flames were first discov-
cred. The engineer and fireman both saw
the flames at the same time and together
they started to go down through the little
companion way that leads from the engine
room to the lower deck.
''They were unable to proceed any dis
tance as the flames and smoke drove them
back. The fireman had gold watch in
his vest which was hanging within few
feet of where he stood, but he could not
reach it,
''Now, what caused all this? No explo-
sion occurred until the flames were we'll
under way and had reached the main
deck"
'Was it a fire bug?" asked.
"Well, " said he, II must say it looks
pretty much like it,"

WAS HE A DHFAUL7HR?
Clerk Van A1st's Accounts
Are Said to Show a
Deficit.
STILL EXAMINING THE BOOKS
A Rumor, Probably Unfounded, Is
That He Committed Suicide.

The accounts of John /. Van Alst,
the late clerk of the Fire Board are
being examined, and it is rumored
that SO far a deficit of $685. has been
found.
He had made no return of the
money received from permits, sales OF
old material, ETC., for six months past,
1t is said.
This is the only money supposed to
have been taken, as his other accounts
are found to be correct.
The rumor goes on to say that Van
Alst had sold his salary for the next
two months, and had narrowed money
from every one of his friends, and
raised the wind in every possible way.
This strikes his friends as very pecu-
liar, for it was only couple of years
ago that he received some 81, 600 from
the United States Government as ar
rears of pension, and has since been
drawing pension OF $12o a year.
His salary was raised $500 year, two
years ago, making his income 81, $50 a
year.
The Fire Board met last evening to
appoint Charles Estabrook temporary
clerk. Commissioner Madden was not
present and the combination could not
be worked, SO the meeting adjourned
after ordering detail of two men
from each Engine and Fruck Com
pany in the city to attend Mr. Van
Alst's funeral tonight.
One of the most painful rumors
afioat was to the effect that Van Alst's
sudden death Monday night was due
to suicide, but this is not generally be-
lieved to be founded on facts.
went to fire headquarters this
morning and asked Chief Engineer
Farrier and Assistant Denmead, but
either they were wholly ignorant on
the subject or else they are monu-
mental liars, as they assured me that
they knew nothing about the subject.
The Commissioners say that if the
rumors prove to be correct the deficit
cannot exceed six or seven hundred
dollars. Van Alst had not turned in
his accounts, as the fiscal year had not
yet closed.
The cash account had not been
balanced since last October, and it is
supposed that Van Alst expected to
make everything right before he was
obliged to make up his report.
