THE DANMARK'S MACHINERY.
A Report that it was Known to be iI
Bad Shape Before She Sailed.

New YORK, April 23.-Those of the DAN
marks passengers who were shipped via Penn
sylvania railroad from Philadelphia for New
York, sixty odd, after midnight last night. ar
rived here in due time this morning. They
were not required to pass through Castle Gar
den for inspection, the authorities at Phiadel-
phla having made all necessary examinations.
Most of the passengers who came here de-
parted for their homes, the homes of their
friends in this city, Brooklyn and vicinity. A
few whose destinations were elsewhere were
taken to the hotel Danmark at No. 81 Green
wich street.
IMPORTANT STATEMENT OF PASSENGER.
Olaf Wieg iun was one of the few English
speaking people in the party. He is a florist,
and has been in America before. In converse
ton with reporter this morning he made a
statement which has not yet appeared In print
in connection with the casualty. He was told
that his remarks were very important and
detrimental to the steamship company, but he
adhered to his statement. He said that before
the accident occurred-the date he could not
recall, but thought it was the 1st or I'd of
April-one of the Norwegian immigrants told
him that he had overheard a conversation in
the officers quarters. One of the ships officers
had said to the others in the apartment that he
thought the vessel would never reach New
York.
HER MACHINERY WAS IN BAD ORDER
and had not received the care it should have
received before the steamer sailed. Her
pumps were broken, and, i'll case of acci-
dent would be found of little service in throw
ing out the sea. I'm afraid the Danmark, 7"
the officer is reported to have said, will meet
the fate of the Gciser."
The Geiser was a vessel of the same line sunk
off Nova Scotia by collision with the Thing
valla about year ago.
Wieglund further said that the vessels coal
boxes were on fire on two occasions before her
machinery gave out. The first fire occurred
about / o'clock on the night of the 29th of
March and the second about $50 o'clock in the
afternoon of the following day. The passen-
gers heard of both fires. and showed more un-
easiness over the comparatively slight accidents
Wieglund was loud i'll his praise of the captain
and crew of the steamer Missouri which res
cued the Danmark's passengers.
BALTIMORE WILL HONOR CAPT. MURRELL.
BALTIMORE, April 23.-Arrangements have

Murrell, of the Missouri. the rescuer OF the
passengers OF the Danmark on his arrival at
this city. Tugs have been chartered and a
distinguished party will go down the bay TO
meet HIM. The Missouri is expected to reach
Baltimore Oh Friday or saturday next.

AN ILLEGAL PRACTICE,
Notification Sent to Assistant Assessor
VIM. Morgan by the Commissioners.

The Commissioners were recently notified
that clerk in the assessors office was in the
habit Of receiving money in pay
ment of tax certificates. The mat
ter was investigated and it became known
that MIR. VIM. Morgan, the assistant assessor
was the clerk referred to. and that the money
he had been in the habit of receiving was
that accruing from the payment of
collection certificates of unpaid taxes. This
money Mr.. Morgan kept until several dollars
had accumulated, when he turned it over to
the collector of taxes. The certificates in
question cost so cents each and were prepared
under the supervision of Mr. Morgan.
This practice was in violation of law and of
the Commissioners order of March so, 1886,
which provided that no District officer other
than the collector of taxes was permitted to
accept money due the District on any account.
To-day the following letter was
SENT TO MR.. MORGAN.
'1t has come to the knowledge Of the Com
missioners that you have been in the
habit of receiving the fees charged
for collection certificates of unpaid
taxes. l am directed by the Commissioners
to notify you that such practice must cease at
once, and to instruct you to Immediately trans
fer to the collector of taxes. with satisfactory
statement thereof, all moneys that have been
received by you on said account and not here
tofore deposited with the collector
INVESTIGATION.
A letter was also sent to Assessor Williams
with instructions to investigate and report.
This was done to-day the assessor replying that
it was a practice originating with the passage of
the act providing for the issue of the certif-
Gates. He said that there was no authority or
reason for continuing the practice, but on the
contrary it was unlawful
Mr.. Morgan, when questioned by STAR
reporter, said that there was nothing wrong in
his accounts. 1t was a custom that had been in
vogue since 1879, and he did not know it was a
violation of law

RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE.
1t May Not Come Under Civil-Service
Rules on May1.

1t is probable that the President will be
asked to extend the time when the civil-service
rules will apply to the railway mail service
Under the present order after May all ap-
pointments to the service must be made
through the civil-servlce commission and
under its regulations. More than three-fourths
of the employees were removed during the past
administration and their places supplied by
Others. large proportion of the men re-
moved are valuable employees, and as fast as
practicable they are being restored to their old
places, but all the changes Of this character will
not be made before the lst of May, for lack Of
time. After that date large number of the
former employees will be excluded from rein
statement, as they have been more than a year
out OF the service. For this reason it is desir-
able to extend the time when the ciyil-service
rules will go into effect

From Wall Street To-day.

New YORK, April %, II a. m. There was
q moderate volume Of business in the stock
market this morning, but the great bulk of this
was confined to q half dozen stocks-st Paul,
Union Pacific Louisville and Nashville, Atchi-
son, Consolidated Gas and Tennessee Coal. the
others being dull and without feature through
out. In the unlisted department there was also
an active business in sugar trusts, lead trusts,
and cotton oil. First prices were in most Of the
list from u to y per cent lower than last even
ing's figures, and general weak tone prevailed
during the early trading, Atchison and Tennes-
see Coal leading in the active list and losing q
and y per cent, respectively, while Consolidated
Gas was an exception to the rest, being specially
strong and scoring an advance OF = per cent
Cotton, oil. and lead trusts were also particu-
larly weak, the former being the weakest point
in the market, and its decline reaching IA per
cent There was some recovery in the latter
portion of the hour, and few of the inactive
shares again reached the opening figures, but
the weakness was again resumed, and at IL
O'Clock the market was quiet and heavy q

THE NEW YORK'S HOMELESS.
Gov. Hill Vetoes the Bill Intended to
Save the Polo Grounds.

New YORK, April 23.-The New York Base
Ball club is homeless. Gov. Hill to-day
vetoed the bill, recently passed by the
legislature, to prevent the cutting of
streets through the Polo grounds.
The struggle between the property holders in
the vicinity of the Polo grounds and the
friends of base ball has been going on for
about two years and the lovers
of sport have SO far been able
to prevent the cutting up of the grounds of the
New York club, but the action of the governor
to-day ends the struggle, and the property
holders are finally victorious
The managers of the New York club felt sure
that they could prevent the destruction of
their grounds, and accordingly have made no
arrangements looking toward new grounds.
