from Southern port Of this country. as she

So Say Two Doctors, hat His Condition
Comes to About the Same Thing.
Mrs. Cora Chapman is likely to meet with
considerable difficulty in carrying out her de-
sire to have her husband. Hawley Chapman.
committed to an insane asylum. Mr. Chap
man was arrested on Monday on her complaint
for threatening her life and Justice Walsh
sent him to Jail without bail. pending exami-
nation to. morrow.
Mrs. Chapman called yesterday upon tho
Charities Commissioners and informed them
that she had no doubt her husband
was insane. and requested that some
physicians should be sent to the jail
to examine him. Tho Commissioners de-
tailed Drs. OConnell and Metcalfe to make
the examination. and after spending an hour
at the Jail with Chapman both declared that
he was not a tit subject for an asylum. They
said that he was suffering only from the eff
fects OF choral and other drugs. which no has
been In the habit OF using after indulging in
alcoholic stimu!ants. DR.. OConnell said:
1T would not be proper to have Chapman
placed in an insane asylum, He Is in the
habit OF going off on u four days spree and
then he takes choral to quiet his nerves. This
in connection with other hypnotic drugs he
uses produces temporary insanity"
Mrs. Chapman says that her only desire in
having her husband arrested was to have him
put somewhere where he could be properly
cared for. 1t Is thought he will be sent to the
lnebriate Home at Fort Hamilton.

Ex.Mayor Hewitt Says He Licensed Only
Respectable PIaces-Mayor Grants Reply.
Ex-Msyor Hewitt said yesterday that many
OF the places licensed by him were reputable
at the time but had since degenerated into
old-time dives. Mr.. Hewitt admitted that he
granted Afty-two concert hall licenses. He
said he had no option about granting these
licenses. His responsibility ceased. he said.
when he found that they were respectable
places Mr.. Hewitt also said that no dive
could exist In this city without tho connivance
OF the police. When he was Mayor no gave
the police notice that these places must be
closed: and. he says. his orders were carried
out within two months.
In reply to this statement Mayor Grant said:
"All the places that licensed or permitted
to continue business were previously licensed
by Mr.. Hewitt. 1t is unfortunate that these
oi1ce as Mayor came to close. The people
may remember that became unpopular with
the saloon keepers. who mplained that they
received no more procession from Tamman,y

perfect. became so bad when no went out Of

4 WEDDING WITHOUT THE GROOM

Was Left.
Two weeks ago to-day. when Patrick Byrnes
had induced Miss Barbara Strittmatter OF $50
Rodney street. Wiliamsburgh. to confess that
she loved him. he gave her ring and made
her promise to marry him. The wedding was
set for Jan. "a. and Miss Strittmatter invited
all her friends to be present at the ceremony.
The friends arrived all right and so did the
clergyman. The father OF tho bride was ex-
planning how lonely he would be after his
daughter left him. when somebody asked af-
ter the groom. Then everybody noticed that
Byrnes was absent and the best man. James
Lippe OF 175 Delaney street. went to look for
him. Byrnes is the engineer Of a sugar re-
fnery In Greenpoint He lives in Lynch street
with his married sister. but he could not be
found on Sunday.
Miss Strittmatter made the best OF her dis
appointment. The clergyman went home. but
the other guests remained behind and en-
joyed themselves They ate up the wedding
cake and other good things. admired the
bridal robe and the trousseau, and then left
the bride that might have been alone with her
father to decide on the proper course to pur-
sue. The result OF the counsel was that Miss
Strittmatter visited Lawyer John Reese h on
Monday last, and instructed him to begin
proceedings against Byrnes at once. Mr..
koesch declined last night to state the nature
of the proceedings to- be brought. and Miss
Strittmatter was equally reticent-
