MEAGHER'S PLUNDERERS.
One of Them "SqueaIs" and Tells the
Whole Story.
Bradley and Crawford Examined and
Held to Answer for Robbery
a Clear Case.

In the Police Court yesterday morning
w. H. Bradley and Joseph Crawford
were examined on the charge of having
garroted NJ. H. Meagher, dairymau, at
Eighteenth and L streets, on the evening
of April lst.
Bradley, especially, is very hard
looking customer, while Crawford and
Fitzgerald, his companions, are much
younger, and look less like criminals.
Fitzgerald was permitted to turn States
evidence, and was not arraigned.
Meagher testified that he had returned
home shortly after s o'clock on the even
ing of the lst instant, and had put his
team up, when he was accosted by the
three young men. who came up behind
him.
They asked for drink of water and he
guided them 10 the hydrant AT a mo-
ment when his back was turned one of
them threw his arm around his neck
from behind and choked him, while the
others went through his pockets and took
between $50 and $40 from him. He iden-
titled Bradley and Crawford, as he saw
their features by The light of lantern at
his barn.
Mrs. Cunning, who resides at Eight
zenith and f streets, testified that she
recognized Crawford and Bradley as be-
ing two of the three young men who
stopped at the store there and asked for
water on the evening in question:.
When they saw Meagher going to his
barn, one of them said, There he goes,
now" and they followed him.
Charles Fitzgerald, one of the trio, then
took the stand and stated that he was
with Bradley and Crawford on the night
in question, and that it was Bradley who
choked Meagher, while Craw ford helped
to rob him.
The three had met at the Mississippi
Kitchen, on Third street, and had gone
to Meagher's place for the purpose Of
robbing him.
At the conclusion of the testimony
Judge Buckley held Bradley and Craw-
ford to answer to tho Superior Court.

uuiust Taxation

1t is unjust to tax the stomach with
burdens that it cannot bear. Many silly
people thus tyrannize that faithful serv-
itor until it rebels and Furnishes them as
they deserve. Dyspepsia is usually the
child of gastronomic folly, but whether
this or the natural associate of inherent
feebleness from childhood, it is surely and
pleasantly remediable with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, the finest and most
highly sanctioned gastric tonic in exist
ence. AS result of the tone impaired 10
the stomach, and the increased activity of
its digestive and assimilative action, in
sured by the persistent use of this benign
invigorant, general stamina is augmented
the nerves strengthened and tranquillized
and a tendency to insomnia and hypo-
chondriasis defeated. Biliousness, chills
and fever, rheumatism and kidney
troubles are conquered by this admirable
medipina

Three More Intellectual Ballots by the
Police Commissioners.
The interest in the election of police
men had not subsidized yesterday, and
when the Police Commissioners met in
the afternoon the courtroom was filled
with spectators. The Commissioners
We're little behind schedule time, but
the meeting was finally called to order by
Mayor Steinman.
After the minutes of the preceding ses-
sion had been read, the Mayor announced
that the Commissioners would proceed to
ballot for three policemen TO complete the
force.
The first ballot resulted: Buckley
Burke, Sullivan, Franks.
Rodgers-Burke, Naghel, Sullivan.

Second ballot: Buckley-Franks, Sulli-

Mayor Steinman here remarked that it
looked like an all-day job, and suggested
that the Commissioners adjourn and set
tie the matter in caucus.
Chief Rodgers said the Commissioners
were all paid for their time, and he could
stav it out if the others could.
Judge Buckley agreed with the Mayor
that there seemed no prospect OF an agree
ment in open board, and finally moved to
adjourn until next Tuesday at 10 O'Clock.
The motion was carried and the board
adjourned
The inquiry is being generally made as
to why those candidates who received
two votes were not declared elected.
Several persons claim that each of those

The Haberdank case was concluded in
Judge Catiin's court yesterday. Haber-
dank. E. ]. Clark, ]. B. Rodgers and E.
F. Duden testified for the defense, which
closed its case.
Assistant District Attorney Jones made
the opening and closing arguments for
the people, and H. w. johnson argued the
case for the defense. The Judge charged
the jury, and they retired to their room
to deliberate. In a short time they re-
turned verdict acquitting him.
On the 9TH of last August one Louis
Kaeding, an unsophisticated Swede, who
had been but short time in the State,
came TO the city with some $50 of his
hard earned savings. He fell in with
one Becker, alias Claussen. who repre-
sented himself as person able 10 give
haedIng employment, and engaged the
latter to go to work.
He then took Kaeding down on Front
street, to convince him that he Becker
had some freight to be shipped out of the
city, and there they met young man
Who purported to be the freight agent.
lie was uncompromising in his demand
Tor the money alleged to be due from
Becker, ana the latter induced kaeding
to help him out by advancing him all the
money he had.
Becker and his pal attempted to skip
the town, but the former was arrested by
officer Clark, who had learned of the
facts of the case. Becker's pal got away,
and subsequently circumstances pointed
10 Haberdank, who was arrested in San
francisco. He was identified by Kaeding
as the bogus freight agent, and Becker,
who had in the meantime been convicted
swore that Haberdank was the man who
assisted him in robbing kaedIng.
Haberdank was tried some months ago,
and the jury disagreed. He attempted to
prove an alibi, and that was his defense
on his last trial. The result shows that
the jury did not believe he WAS Beckor's
partner in the crime.

that a generous provision for the
higher education Of women is made
in most large universities. From 1865
to 1852 France conferred 100 academic
degrees upon women; Switzer and
opened her universities to women as
early as 1865; in Sweden, since 1878,
women have acquired the same de-
grees in the arts and in medicine as
are conferred upon men; Denmark
opened its university to women, with
the exception of the theological de
partment, in 1875; in Italy the uni
versity was opened about 1876; Rus
STA has extended university privileges
to women since 1873; in Holland
women have never been debarred from

1888 the admission Of women to the
universities has become general
There is no law in Spain and Portu-
gal to prevent women from studying
in the universities though the South
ern women have not shown much in
clination to avail themselves of the
privilege. Germany and Hungary
seem to be the most conservative ma

cIude women from the universities.
Even in these countries the "discon-
tent of the modern girl" has been
working in favor of enlarged educa-
tional opportunities. Women obliged
TO depend upon themselves for their
own support require education to fit
them for their duties The presenta-
ton of the subject shows that EuroI
