BLlGH'S Real ESTATE.
A Lot Worth $1,000 Con-
veyed to Wife No. 2 by
the Injured Fireman.

Fireman Matthew Bligh, the alleged
bigamist, who is now confined in st.
Francis Hospital suffering from slight
burns received at fire III his home No.
sos Grove street on the evening of the
25th. evidently had slight suspicion
that wife No. 1 would turn up unex-
pectedly. Bligh's reputation among the
men of the Department. does not appear
to be very complimentary one. He has
money maker. His dealings. it is said,
with some of his most intimate friends In
the Department prove this.
Whatever his business tactics were. a
few days before the fire. which robbed
him OF one of his three children by wife
No. 2, he performed an act which tends
to show that he possessed at least some
regard for the woman with whom he was
living. Despite the fact that he elaine d
wife No. was dead, he evidently was
not positive of 1t, aud accordingly, in a
way, provided for wife No. 2.
On January IS, Bligh transferred to one
Edward Mcconnell, trusted friend of
corner OF Coles and Seventh streets, for
$780, The property is valued at 81 ,000.
Ou the following day, Mcdonnell trans
ferred the same property to Lizzie T.
Bligh, wife No. 2, for 500. The convey
auces were presented for record yester-
day in. Register Fielder;s office. This
manner of transferring the property was
adopted to comply with the law, which
prevented him from transferring real
estate directly to his wife.
Wife No. declined to discuss the mat
ter last night. She evidently has the
greater part of Biigh's property in her
name. Wife No. could not be found,
but from what has been seen of ner, it IS
believed she will make an effort to secure
an equal division :of Bligh,s property il
not more than half share.
Bligh's action i'll transferring his prop
erty TO his second wife carries with it a
S uspicion that he knew of the existence
of wife No. l.

to sell his overcoat, suit of clothes, and other
articles of apparel he had taken when he
started to get food, and the knives and steel
being all he had left that he could dispose OF he

irrespective of politics, favor the appointme MT
of ex-senator Griggs as Justice of the Supreme
Court / do not speak for my colleagues, as

directly the reverse of truth. This has no refer
ence to the merits or demerits of Mr. Griggs, of
whom know nothing, except that his name is
Griggs, and that he was a member Of the State
Senate, but hold it to be indecent at the close
of an administration for President of the

BODY IN A COAL BIN.


Mysterious Find in Brooklyn Chemi
cal Factory Engine House.
BROOKLYN, Feb. 2. 1893.-The Brooklyn
police are Ouslly engaged today in en-
deavoring to discover the identity Of tn.
dead man who was found at six o'clock
last night at the bottom of the big coal
bin in the cellar of the Atlantic White
Lead Works, corner of Gold and Mar
shall streets.
Police Captain Eason, of the lower Full
ton street station, and Detectives Kear.
ney and Noonan worked without inter
mission upon the case last night, but uL
till ten O'Clock This morning had not beer
able to find any clew which would ethel
disclose the identity of the man or the
circumstances attending his death.
The case is involved in much mystery
No one appears to know how long the
mans body has been buried underneath
The coal. The bin in which he was found
is about 1G0 feet long, 80 feet wide and q
feet deep. When full, it. holds hundreds
of tons of coal. 1t was known as the re-
serve coal bin, owing to the fact that the
coal in the bin was not encroached upon
until all the coal In the other bins had
been consumed.
Because OF the severity of the weather
this winter the coal boats have not been
able to get up to the company's wharf, and
consequently the supply in the cellar has
been fully drawn upon.
The stokers in the engine room of the
White Lead Works got to the bottom Of
the reserve coal bin last night
While three OF the stokers were busily
engaged in hauling over the coal, one of
them suddenly came across a mans leg.
The stoker who made The discovery was
greatly frightened. He called TO his COM
rades and they helped him get the mans
body out. The man was ABOUT six feet
tall, and wore the clothes OF laborer.
In his pockets were thirty-eight cents
and a small purse. There were no papers
in his pockets or marks upon his clothes
to indicate who he was. The body was
badly decomposed, and the features were
past recognition.
Police Capt. Eason was at once notified
and caused the body to be taken to the
Morgue. County Physician Sheppard will
make an autopsy upon the body today.
No one OF the employees at the White
Lead Works could recognize the dead
man, and all of them declared that they
had not seen him before. None of them
had heard of any missing man among
their number. The employees, however,
OF the White Lead Works are sort OF
floating contingent. and it is said that
many of them are constantly going and
coming all the time.
Captain Eason could not ascertain how
long the coal had been In the bin. Some
of the employees declared that the coal
had been In the bin at least twenty years,
while others said it was onIy eleven
years. and still others said it was only
one Year.

Serious Consequences Feared On West

St. Paul,s Avenue.
Word was received at the Water De-
partment in the Street and Water Com-
missioner's building this afternoon that a
main on West st. Paul's avenue near the
tracks of the New York, Susque-
hanna and Western Railroad had
bursted. 1t was reported that the
large 32-inch main which crosses
the avenue a5 that point had broken. II
that was the case serious consequences
were to be feared. The volume of water.
which any considerable break in that
main would discharge upon the street
would form small lake there and cause
a great deal Of damage by washing away
the earth.
If it was not specially checked, there
was danger of Its undermining the tracks
of the Railroad. There was also some APP
prehension lest fthe break might be SO
serious as to interfere with the supply Of
the people in thar section of the city to
which the main carries water. Workmen
were Immediately dispatched to the scene
to ascertain the extent Of the break, and
