Keeper Down the Stairs.

New YoRK, June 22.-The excise war waged
against the saloonkeepers in Long Island
City by Mayor Gleason resulted in fracas
last night in the may or's Office on Front
street. Shortly after s O'Clock, while the
mayor was in his private office, Saloonkeeper
John Rategan of 81 Vernon avenue entered
and told the mayor that ne wished to see him
about obtaining renewal of his license.
81 came to see you,' said Mr.. Rategan to
the mayor, ''about my license, and if l don't
get it my business will be ruined"
''This NATTER" replied the mayor, sis not a
question of running any mans business. The
number of saloons in the city must be reduced,
and as you are one of the men who haye sold
liquor to children contrary to law, you can't
get licensen
Mr.. Rategan is said to have advanced to-
ward the mayor at the time and said Here
is 5000 that ought to fix things.n Mayor
Gleason jumped up in an instant and in an
angry tone roared, What you try to bribc
me. Get out of here ~ and the next moment
the big mayor had seized Mr.. Rategan, who
is also a big man, by the back of the neck,
and in less time than it takes to say Jack
Robinson, rushed him through his Office to

push that sent him flying down the fight OF
fifteen steps. He landed in heap at the
bottom where he lost no time in recovering

A Young Lady stolen From a Hotel i'm
Broad Daylight.

New CASTLE, Pa, June ga mist daring
abduction was accomplished here to-day from
one of the leading hotels, the corridors of
which were crowded at the time with mon
discussing the congressional deadlock in this
district. They were startled about $3.50
o'clock by Mrs. j. f.. Phillips of Sterling, ILL.,,
a guest of the hotel, rushing down stairs and
calling upon them frantically, "For Gods
sake rescue that child. They have stolen my
child.n When the woman had sufficiently
recovered from her excitement to explain, it
was learned that the two men who had a mo-
ment before quietly but hurriedly passed
through the crowd with young girl were
the abductors of Mrs. Phillips sister. "rhe
girl they have stolen,n said she, sis Neva
Cochrcn, my sister. Her father and mother
are dead and she has been living with us at
Sterling, Ill, our home. we have been visit
ing in this section, and Thursday night we
were at Mrs Moses my sister, where these
bad boys tried to steal thc child from us, but
Mr.. Phillips prevented them, and now they
have followed us here, While Mr.. Phillips
went to the depot to check our baggage, as
we are on our road home, they broke into the
room and took her from ne. They were gone
before could raise an alarm
When Mr.. Phillips returned to the hotel he
informed the mayor who caused officers to be
sent in pursuit of the men, but as yet with
out success as they hurried the girl into u
buggy at the hotel door and had driven out
of the city at full speed.
The abductors are Arnold and Hugh Coch-
run, brothers of Neva, and they are hardened
characters, the latter having served a term in
Jail for stealing. Neva is ahandsome burnette,
sixteen years old and lived with her sister.
She was an unwilling party to the abduction.
Her father was the late 4. f. Cochran, rich
farmer who left an estate of $4,000 TO be di-
vided among four children Her guardians
are Hiram Watson and ), q. McCreary. 1t
is evidently the intention of the Cochran
boys to keep the girl until she comes of age
with the hope of securing her share in the

WAsHINGToN, June % Tomorrow will be

committee is ready to report upon the senate
amendments to the silver bill there are in
dcations that the committee on rules will be
ready in turn to see that tho report secures
speedy consideration in the house. 1t is also
probable that by Tuesday morning the same
committee will report rule making the MAJ
tional election bill IA special order for the re
mainder of the week. If adopted it will prob
ably lead TO one of the most bitter partisan
debates witnessed in recent years. The bill
for the admission of Wyoming is the first
order of business in the senate. When it
comes up the democrats will offer a substitute
in the shape of an omnibus bill, providing
enabling acts for Wyoming, Idaho, Arizona
and New Mexico. The territorial bill will
have to give way, however, for the consdera-
tion of appropriation bills, the committee
being determined TO press these measures as
rapidly as possible. Frye will make an effort
to have his shipping bills considered, and, if
that fails, press the river and harOor bill.

CHARGED WITH POISONING.
Apparently Well-Laid Conspiracy
Against a Neighbor.

PoUGHKEEPsIE, N. ", June ga singular
case of attempted murder by poison was
heard in the police court yesterday, the
charge being made by Mrs. Williams of
Laurel street against her neighbor, Mrs.
Mooney. Johnny Williams, the ten-year-old
son of the plaintiff, testified that Mrs.
Mooney called him into her hallway
and handed him a pieces of bread which
was buttered and covered with what
looked like jam, and told him to
eat it before he went out. The boy took one
bite which made him vomit and gave him a
burning sensation in the stomach. He went
to his mother and a neighbo with his mouth
besmeared with vomit and n white powder.
His mother took the bread to DR.. j. p. Will
son. who analyzed it, and testified that the
bread was covered with what looked like
jelly or jam, full of arsenic and pounded
glass, known as Rough on Rats.
Mrs. Mooney was called to the stand
and testified that she did not give
the boy the bread; that he had not been in
her house in five years, and that she had no
poisonous matter in her house whatever. The
boys mother said she received the bread from
the boy after he had bitten into it, She, too,
said she had no poison except bug poison in
the house. Witnesses were sworn as to Mrs.
Moneys good character, after which the in
vestigation was adjourned for a week. 1t
was shown that Mrs. Mooney had beaten
Mrs. Williams in two slaiider suits and that
there is bad feeling between them.

Statements of Their Effect Upon Gus

effects upon the customs receipts by the pro

articles made dutiable in the house bill and
the amendments proposed by the senate as
sessed under existing laws was Sl6l ,4Os,-

senate, s2Ol ,6s99O7. The equivalent ad va
loren rate under the house bill is $3.50 per
cent; under the senate bill 5l91 per cent.
The reduction in revenue by the transfer of
articles to the free list in the house bill, in
cludlng $40, 1897, ,S7S reduction in internal reve-
nue. taxes stricken out by the senate finance
committee, is estimated at S1l ,06i, IA. BY the
transfer of articles to the free list in the sen

at $50, ,599343. A foot note to the recapitula-
tion says: "These tables are prepared
upon the plan and theory usually
followed The estimates are largely
conjectural and more or less unreliable and
misleading. They are based upon the as
sumption that if the bill should become law

be imported during the fiscal year 1880 This
