Surgeon Nevins' delicacy in suppressing
the names Of his victims was not univer-
sally commended. Speculation was, OF
course, ripe as to who were the dozen or
more who failed to come up to the doc
tors standard of muscularity and who
would therefore be dismissed from the
force
Surgeon Nevin, Chief of Police Muir
ply and others who are In position to
know all about the matter, declined to be
interviewed. By some it is intimated
that the whole business is dodge on the
part of the Commissioners to make room
for heelers.
Commissioner Benson introduced the
resolution some weeks ago to have all the
men examined physically. because, he
said, the amount of money paid out to
men on the sick list was something
enormous His connection with
the affair makes it very suspicious,
though it is true that a number
of men on the force are in poor physical
condition. The men, however, to whom
the surgeon refers as having abnormal
.bouches' are generally known
to be the liveliest men on
the force. Take, for instance,
Billy Luyster. He is the heavyweight of
tie force; yet it is doubtful If there is as
lively man on his feet connected with
the department.. The same may be said
of Patrolman Miller.

By the explosion of steam pipe in the
yard of William Peters brewery, on
Union Hill. yesterday afternoon, one
horse was killed, another animal was SO
badly scalded as to make it nee essary to
kill 1t and the driver of the team of horses
had a miraculous escape fr ON instant
death. About three o'clock John Schr roe
der, who drives a team of horses for
A. Bebberdick, the coal dealer OF Wee
hawken, was leaving the yards of the
brewery after delivering a load of coal.
In the centre of the yard is network of
steam pipes which are sunk below the
ground about five feet. just as the ami
mails were crossing this spot an explosion
was heard and huge piece of lead pipe
was hurled from the earth striking
one of the horses in the stomach
1t was driven into the horses body as il
it were a bullet, and death was instan-
taneous. The other horse, rearing and
plunging. was scalded by the escaping
steam. A piece of lead pipe grazed
Schroeder's ear. If it had hit him it
would have killed him instantly.
1t is said the explosion was due to the
negligence of an engineer.

Mrs Maggie Reagan, when not busy
making complaints at the police courts of
her husbands brutality, is usually en-
gagged in keeping far enough from him TO
avoid his fists. This morning she had
him before Judge Wanser, and said he
beat her last night at their home, No. 1876
Hopkins avenue, and she wanted him
punished. The Court heard her story,
and signified it's willingness to acommo-
date her by committing Daniel for trial.
This mad scarcely been done when, burst
ing into tears, Mrs. Reagan begged the
Justice to let him off this time. 'sfor, I"
said she, ''he is good man when sober,
and he only beats me twice a month F"
Judge Wanser thought it better for
Reagan to take recess in the beating
performance aud refused TO reconsi der
the sentence.

NEW EVIDENCE FOR cOYKENDAIL
Expert stevens Discovers a Vital Point
in His Favor.

Expert Stevens Discovers a Vital Point
in His Favor.
The counsel for Nelson H. Coykendall
expects that Judge Lippincott will rem
der decisisn on Friday in the matter of
their application for new trial for Mr..
Coykendall. The newly discovered evi-
dence upon which the application was
based and which will be introduced If a
new trial is granted. was brought to light
by Expert Stevens examination of the
banks books. On the first trial one of the
most damaging facts against Mr.. Cuyken-
dali went to the jury practically as admit
ted by both sides. 1t was to the effect
that Mr.. Coykendall made it a practice
to compare his entries on the stub of his
check book with those made In his pass
book. and therefore must have become
aware of Van Loans false entries in the
pass book.
Mr.. Winfield showed where an entry on
the stub had been altered to correspond
To an alteration made en the deposit slim
at the bank, and claimed that was sutfi-
cient evidence to prove that MIR. Coyken-
dali was In the habit of comparing the
two.
Mr.. Stevens has discovered just ia of
these errors, hfty-one on the deposit side
and sixty-three OIL the draft side of the
cutkles nhT. 10Y keuuhli kepu. OHly IOur
of these have been corrected from which
the counsel for Mr.. Coykendall contend
that the corrections were made by him
only when his attention was called to
them and If he had been in the habit of
comparing the entries in his passbook
with those on the stub, he certainly
would have corrected them all.
Moreover, these errors foot up a loss Of
1924 for Mr.. Coykendall. and it is not to
be presumed that he would intentionally
make mistakes or let them remain after
count by such large amount.
