All Opposition.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE managers
and general agents Of the New York
Life Insurance company met at the
office of the company today. One of
those present states that the committee
on changes reported, but that the pro-
ceedingS were not of moment to the
public. The report of the committee, it
was learned from another source, was
favorable to John A. Mccall. 1t was
also said that the agents particularly
were friendly toward Mr.. Beers and
were anxious to help him, although
they felt bound to abide by the selection
of the trustees.
1t was said that Mr.. Mccall had noti-
fed the directors that he could not &C.

less eX-President Beers ceases to have
any connection with the management,
and he also makes a condition that he
be presented with the designations of
all the present directors of the COM
pany. This is thought to mean that
Mr.. Mccall is determined to be boss of
the situation and be everything the
word president Implies. 1t was learned
later that subsequent and second ses-
sion was held at which it soon became
manifest that all opposition to Mr.. Me-
Call had disappeared, and that his cleo
ton tomorrow is practically foregone
conclusion. This being The feeling of
the meeting, William P. Appleton,
heretofore strong supporter of Mr..
Beers, moved that Mr.. Mccall be the
unanimous choice of the meeting for
the presidency of the New York Life
Insurance Company. The vote to that
effect was unanimous.

Experts Differ in Their Testimony
Before Referee Helm -


Before Referee Helm. - Il
The proceedings in the Starkey-John-
son contest were resumed before Ref
cree Helm yesterday, j. 81. Shea being
placed on the stand as all expert wit
ness. Mr.. Shea is practical plumber,
and his testimony was in line with that
of w. j. Freaney, who testified to Mr..
Starkey's unfitneSs for the position of
building inspector. Mr.. Shea was taken
in hand by Attorney Michaels, who
piled the witness with bewlldering ques-
lions on technical points. much to the
witness discontinue. The latter said
he based his opinion of Starkey'e quail
ficationS upon the half-dozen questions
which had been asked, and not upon
qualifications. TO the question by Mr..
MichaelS: How would you detect an
obstruction in pipe?" Mr.. Shea replied:
Bore a hole in it.' The answer
was received with some applause
by the Starkey forces, who
hailed this as evidence that Mr.. Shea
himself was not an expert.
John L. Holmes and Joseph G. Sc.
we'll were also witnesses. Mr.. Holmes
testimony was rather more favorable to
Starkey than has yet been given by the
experts. He would not say that Mr..
Starkey was qualified, but thought his
answers to questions asked were not
sufficient on which to base an opinion.
Mr.. Sewell showed thorough familiar
ity with the subject of plumbing and
kinded matters. Asked if he was ia
miliar with logarithms and if he could
give the logarithm of lis, 1000, he re-
piled: mo, but can give the logar-
thin of one. two, three or four, aud
reckon that's more than any one else in
the room knows about it."
An adjournment was taken to 10
O'Clock today, when all effort will be
made to close up the case. provided MIR.
Michalls can get away from case he
has on trial in the district court.

A BOUNDARY MIDDLE
Arising Out of the Survey of Dale
Street,

Judge Brill and jury are engaged in
trying the action of Adeline G. Sawyer
against Eugene Y. SmalIey brought to
determine the boundary line between
lots % and %. block of Holcomb's addi-
ton. This suit grows out of a judg-
ment on Dale street. about which con-
siderable has been said i'm print. 1t is
claimed that the city is seeking to en-
croach three feet on lots along Dale
street, and if the change is ordered
by the city, taking off three
feet from the lot of Mrs. Sawyer, at the
corner of Dale street and Holly avenue,
and other lots along Dale street, then
they will hyae the right to extend over
three feet OH their neighbors' lots. This
programme, carried to its ultimatum in
Holcomb'S addition, would change thre e
streets i'm width and several streets in
length. and would necessitate the NOV
ing of several houses. If Mrs. Sawyer
establishes her claim she will yield three
feet along Dale street to the city and
take like strip off OF MIR. Smalley's
lot, and with it several valuable shade
trees belonging to him. Meetings Of
the property owners in this addition
were held about year ago to adjust
the trouble, aud the city council was
appealed to to settle the matter, but
without avail. 1t is probable the mat
ter will go to the supreme court for ad-
iudication. L. ID. O'Brien appears for
Airs. Sawyer anu Ambrose Tighe repre-
sents Mr.. Smalley.

Singular Explanation Of the Tuss-

ner Shooting.
George ". Tussner did not attempt
to kill himself Monday evening as was
at first supposed. This is a somewhat
startling statement in view of the facts
that have been published, but the
authority for it is no less than his at
tending physician, DR.. Stamm. That
gentleman's explanation of the case is
that MIR. Tussner fired the pistol at the
witches which he insanely imagined
surrou nded him and the bullet striking
some object in the room glanced
and cut a deep cash in his
forehead, burying itself i'm the,
wall. How such a thing could have
happened is not exactly plain, but there.
are several similar instances On record.
Capt. Hanft, of the Margaret street
station, who was present at the time of
the shooting, agrees with DIR. Stamm.,
Yesterday afternoon he exhibited the
42-ealiber pistol which Mr.. Tussner had
used, and explained that if bullet
from it had lodged anywhere in the
mans head or been aimed at it, it would
be almost sure to result in certain
death. Mr.. Tussner is recovering rap

GLOBE WANT DID 1T.
How Miss Sullivan Secured Her
Lost Treasure.

How Miss Sullivan Secured Her
Lost Treasure.
Tuesday afternoon as little Della Bir-
mingham. daughter of Thomas F.
Birmingham, was on her way to the ST.
Agnes school, near the state capitol, she
noticed small package lying in the
glistening snow close to the sidewalk.
She stepped out, picked it up and, on
examination, found that it consisted of
roll OF bills of various denominations.
After school hours she took it home to
her parents, when it was found that the
package counted up to the neat sum of
Sl05. Not wishing to Immediately ad-
vertlse 1t, as they would possibly be
overrun by claimants for the money,
they concluded to wait till the next day
and see II the unfortunate one would
not anticipate their wishes in this re-
spect. Early Wednesday morning they
picked up the DAILY GLOBE, and re-
ferrlng to their Popular Want Columns,
the first thing that met their gaze under
the heading of Lost and Found was the
following advertisement:
MONEY LOST-A roll of money, about 2
w D. M, while walking from $50 Cedar st.
ana past capitol; SIS reward will be given
for the return of the money TO $50 cedar st.
During the forenoon Mr.. Birmingham,
accompanied by his little daughter,
called at the address given above and
were Informed that the money had been
lost by Miss Sullivan, sewing girl
the lost money and stated that it repre-
sented all she had, and. with tears
standing il her eyes, Informed her Wis
ItorS that it was the savings of
years that she gradually accum-
ulated to provide herself with an
artificial limb, having had the misfortune
to lose the one nature gave her. She was
on her way down town at the time to
pay for it, and must have pulled it out
with her gloves or handkerchief.
Upon being informed that little Della
had found the money. read the adver-
tisement in the GLOBE, and had come
to restore it to her, she was overcome,
and the tears that had been standing in
her eyes now flowed freely, but they
were tears of JOY. She offered little
Miss birmingham the reward of S25 she
had advertised, but the heart of the
honest little girl was too true to think
OF accepting anything from one who
had been so unfortunate, and who had
worked so hard to replace by science
what nature had robbed her of, and told
Miss Sullivan that her reward was suf-
ficient in the knowledge that she had
been the means of saving to her that
little fortune which she could well ap-
preciate meant days and nights of cease
less toll and possibly deprivation of the
comforts of life. Miss Sullivan Informed
her little friend that she would try in
the near future to send her a memento
that would be lifelong remembrance
how m
to herfelf and God in her younger days.

A NOVEL DEFENSE
By Samuel Finley, Who Is Charged
With Bigamy,

Samuel j. Finley, colored, will be put
on trial today in Judge Cornish's court
upon an indictment alleging bigamy.
The defense is one which the peculiar
ity of the statute makes possible, how
ever inconsistent it may be, even
though it is an aggravated condition of
depravity. In place of simply denying
that he has been twice married, Finley's
defense is that he has three wives.
While the law of Minnesota prescribes
a punishment for bigamy, it does not
prohibit polygamy. 1t is set up
in the Indictment that Finley is living
with woman as his wife, whilst he has
wife and child living in Omaha. Fin
ley gets back at the Omaha woman.
who, by the way, is prosecuting this
case, by saying that at the time he mar
ried her he had wife by former mar
rage living. 1t is barely possible that
this state of affairs, if proven, will free
Finley from the tolls in which the
charge of bigamy placed him, because
the law makes it obligatory to prove a
valid statutary marriage to the Omaha
woman before he may be convicted of
.blgamy as charged.

MORPHINE KILLED HIM.
Ignorant Native Doctors Poisoned

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE British Medi-
cal journal in its current issue says: :
1--WE have received series of manu-
scripts and printed documents bearing
upon the last illness of the late khedive
of Egypt. TO publish them. or even an
analysis of them, would renew the most
painful impressions. 1t is impossible,
in the light of all the facts, not to ar
rive at the conclusion that Re wfik's
death was fastened by the untimely ad-
ministration of morphine. The whole
story is an illustration of the lamenta-
bic influence of the harem in bringing
about the selection of native physicians
and their control of access to the pa
tent. the skill and experience of the
European physicians being thereby set
