a PRETTY SANE MAN.
Col A. H. Rogers Convlnces New York Jury
that He is Not Crazy

Col A. H. Rogers Convinces New York Jury
that He is Not Crazy.
Special to the Gazette
NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-The question Of
the sanity of Col. a. H. Rogers, ex-
deputy street cleaning commissioner,
was before Judge Lawrence and a jury IN
the supreme court circuit to-day. The
colonel was the first and only witness in
support of his petition for liberty. He
testified as to his arrest through some
trouble he had with a cabman, and
then spoke of his commitment to Belle
vue hospital and thence to Ward rs
Island. He said he had not been exam
ined physically. The only examination
he ever got from physicians was, elbow
do you do?' OF by conversation. His
Grand Army button and badge, his jew
elry and pawn tickets representing $500
worth of clothes which he had pawned,
(not, however, because he was obliged
to do so } were torn from him. He told
how he had been shifted from ward to
ward in the asylum. To these he as
ascribed the term degrees-the first
degree being for convalescents or mild
patients; second, the chronic kicking
ward, and the third and worst degree,
the ward for chronic fighters, where
black eyes and bloody noses were in
vogue. At night he said the patients
were locked in cells. They were COM
PEELED to undress in the hall and leave
their clothes there. Col. Rogers said
these cells were abOnt five by ten feet,
and were provided with a straw bed and
pillow and bed covering. When he first
went to the asylum they put him in the
Il
afterward put him in the fighting ward.
He demanded to know the reason for this
change, but none was given him. He
had been quiet, and there was no
reason for his transfer. In this ward he
talked with the inmates and took notes
of some of the cases which he said were
sane. An hour after that he was re-
transferred. He could not tell why this
happened, but he supposed that they
thought he was too intelligent and sane
and wanted some pretense to change his
quarters. AS to other patients, he said
some were sane and some were not; some
cleau and others Unclean. There were so
many of them in the asylum that they
were obliged to sit sideways at the
table, having use of one hand and half
of the other. Their bill of fare consisted
of bread which was good, bad butter
which had to be spread with spoon,
meat once a week and sometimes hash.
He could not battle in the same bath
with the others, and got the privilege Of
a special bath. In the regular bath the
patients were put through at the rate OF
one minute, and were wiped with
clean towel. He would not submit to
that. After all the evidence was in the
counsel summed up and the judge de-
livered his charge. The jury without
leaving their seats declared Col. Rogers
sane and he was discharged.

Special TO the Gazette.
TExARKANA, Tex. Feb. 24.-The cause
of the death of Judge Williams, found
dead on the railroad track here yesterday
morning, as reported, has not yet been
settled to the satisfaction of the authori-
ties, and Investigations are still being
made. From the position Of the BODY
when found, it was readily concluded
that he was run over by the train,
but suspicious circumstances have
come TO light pointing to pos
sible foul play. The investigation
will not be concluded for several. days.
A telegram from Judge Williams rel a
tives at Washington City was received
to-day directing that the remains be
shipped there's: and their request will be

THE DEAD Aston.
His Funeral to be Free from All Appearance Of
Ostentation.

Special to the Gazette.
New YORK, Feb. 24.-The great Aston
mansion, at Thirty-thiTd street and
Fifth avenue, was an object OF curiosity
to-day to the hundreds of passers by on
that thoroughfare. The drawn blinds Of
the big windows, the long streamers OF
Grape on the bell handle and tine half
closed iron gate at the front entrance
marked the fact that death had laid his
hand upon the millionaire owner. The
deserted appearance of the mansion was
only occasionally dIspelled by the ar
rival of intimate friends of the family,
who called to express their sympathy.
Most callers merely left cards of con-
dolenoe. Very few were admit
ted to gaze upon the face
of the dead man, who lay
in the corner room of the second floor in
which he died. The body was placed
this afternoon in q coffin covered with
purple velvet after the embalmng pro
cess had been completed. The funeral
will take place to- morrow morning at 10
O'Clock from Trinity chapel, on Twenty
fifth street e. Sexton Albert Meurer, who
has charge of the arrangements, stated
to-day that everything was COM
plete except the selection Of the pail
bearers. several of whom are out OF s9Vh
at present and it will not be known until
this afternoon whether they VIII be able
to attend The completed list Will then
be made public. The following physi-
clans have been invited to attend the
funeral: Doctors Fordioe Barker, Fran
ois Delawald, Morris J. Asch.
Cherries J. POOre and Francis
H, Markoe. The house servants
have strict orders not to give names of
visitors who called yesterday and to-day.
Every effort is being made TO have the
funeral services OF the simplest character
and free from all appearance of ostenta-
ton. Shortly Before the appointed time
for the funeral the body will be quietly
taken TO Trinity chapel accompanied By
the relatives. The only services will be
at the church, where there will be a
simple musical programme, but no pane
gyrlo. Only the relatives will follow the
coffin to the grave in Trinity cemetery,
at One hundred and ffty-third street
and Tenth avenue. Flags at half mast
on the Astor house attracted attention
down town.

CHEATING A CITY.
Why New York Derives Little or No Revenue
from Her Street Railways.

Why New York Derives Little or NO revenue
from Her Street Railways.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-One of the most
important steps ever taken by the city
officers looking toward the protection of
the city's interest has just been decided
by Comptroller Myers and ex-senator
DAILY. 1t is the opinion of the comp
troller that the elevated and surface
roads of this city have for years cheated
the city out of millions of dollars by
Systematically holding back q true
statement of their net receipts in order
to prevent the yearly payment OF per
cent. of their net receipts, as they are
obliged to do according to law. What
makes it appear fraudulent on its face Is
the fact that Notwithstanding the enor-
nous increase in elevated railroad travel
during the past few years, the amount
turned in by the Elevated railroad COM
pauy has been exactly S547l
three years in succession. The
comptroller says be has found
law which authorizes him to examine
all the books of the various companies.
1t is believed, however, that the COM
panies will vigorously protest against
examination. SuOuIu Luey w 50 LAO
comptroller intends to seek the aid of the
legislature. The whole question may
hinge on what are the actual net receipts.
Corporation Counsel Clark SAID that at
present he must decline to speak about
the matter. 1t had not, so far as he
knew, been referred to his Office and
COMPTROLLER Myers had not consulted
him on the question of law. When
the legislative committee investigated
the gas companies few years ago this
same question came up, but was not
finally settled, owing, 1t was said, to the
influence of the powerful gas companies
lobbyists The comptroller has not
rushed into this proposed investigation
without due elaboration; not until he
consulted the best legal talent in the city.
He believes he can easily show way to
secure fer the city many millions of dol
lars which has been purposely withheld
from the treasury by system little short
of 1egerdemain in bookkeeping.

LONDON, Feb. 24.-The Gladstonian-
Parnellite compact, which is quite gen.
orally believed to have been designed to
operate in the interests of the Irish
Catholics, is raising an enormous howl
from the Conservative Unionist alliance,
designed to oppose everything which
promises to benefit Ireland or the Irish
1t is true, however, that the Tories are
making an immense amount Of party
capital out of the matter, which though
apparently harmless, is none the less
great mistake on the part of the Liberals
and Nationalist in the present
critical state of affairs. Every
available spot IN the north
division of St. PanOras where an election
will be held on March 4th to fill the va
cancy caused by the succession OF Mr..
Cochrane Baillee to the peerage is covered
with placards in the interest of both par
ties, each presenting its version of the
findings OF the Parnen commission. In
addition to this the Tories have caused
the circulation of thousands of handbnls
denouncing the Liberals for having en-
tered into an agreement with the Par
nellites pledging the Liberal party to the
support of measures designed to throw
the Irish schools into the hands Of the
Catholics.
STAGE CENSORSHIP.
The London common council has sue
ceeded in covering itself with rldicule by
its advocacy of a bill to establish CEN
sorship of the stage, TO which authority
shall be submitted previous to their pre-
sentation all plays intended to be acted
in public. Should this board decide ad9
versely upon any play submitted to 1t,
it is proposed that the subsequent pre-
sentatlon of the work shall be registered
as q misdemeanor, punishable as the bill
prescribes. An addition to the bill pro-
poses that al actors and actresses shall
be licensed by the board of censorship,
otherwise they may not pursue their
caIlings The extent of the opposition
to such measure and the slim chance OF
its serious consideration may readily be
imagined.
