WANTED TO WE'D AT FOURTEEN.
Hut tho Gerry Society Prevented Alice From
 Becoming an old Mans Darling.

but tho Gerry society freScnt~d Auco From Becoming an old Mans Darling. New York, July ls.-A queer story
 was told in the Yorkville police court | to-day when Mrs. Mary Ann Mckee
 of No. 4ll West Forty-eighth street appeared there In answer to a summons | obtained by Agent Agnew of the Gerry
 society. who asserted that Mrs. Mckee
 was not a proper person to have
 charge of her fourteen-year-ol daugh- | ter. Alice, who Is said to be a wild.
 wayward girl. The accused is a widow.
 who keeps boarders at the above ad- dress, and is also said to be part owner of the premises. Agent Agnew's chief witness was Charles Mitchell,
 who claims to be only fifty years old. but looks fully ten years older. He Is
 veteran of the civil war. and is so
 disabled by rheumatism and partial paralysis that he receives a pension of | $30 a month.
 Two montAs ago he came here from the Soldiers home at Marion. Ind. and rented a room from Mrs. Mckee. He
 and young Alice became quite friendly,
 and she was very attentive to the old
 of marrying the young girl,who induced him to believe that she was over six teen years old.
 Mitchell said that the mother did not
 oppose his wishes in the matter. and the girl pretended that she would be delighted to be an old mans darling. Five weeks ago he gave the girl a
 gold watch valued at $20, and two weeks ago. when he proposed marriage for
 mally to her on the front stoop of her house, and was accepted. he handed
 her $40. with which to purchase the wedding outfit. Mitchell claims that the mother was present all the time and saw him give her daughter the money.
 The old man sent a friend to the Holy Cross church on Forty-second street
 to have the banns published, and when
 the marriage engagement was not an-
 nounced in church the infatuated vet eran demanded an explanation from his friend. The latter told him that the pastor of the church knew the Mo-
 Kee family, and when he learned through the mother that Alice was only fourteen years old he refused to sanc- tion such a marriage.
 The affair in some way was called to the attention of the Gerry society and Agent Agnew investigated it. He heard the old mans story, and when he questioned Mrs. Mckee she said 1t was all a joke, but she continued to hold on to the watch and the $40. Neigh
 bors told the agent that Alice was a
 bold, impudent girl and was not being properly brought up by her mother.
 In court Alice said that she thought the old man was paying attentions to an older daughter. < Justice Meade committed Alice to the care of the Gerry society and ad- journed the case until tomorrow so that Mrs. Mckee could furnish evidence that she was a proper person to have charge of the young girl. Mitchell went away wondering whether the watch and the money would be re- turned to him.

On the Way From the Grounds Some Boys Threw Tomato and Lowe Knocked One of Them Down and Kicked Him in the side-An Exciting Time.
 Philadelphia. July ls.-Although tha Boston, Philadelphia game passed or peacsably enough to-day on the grounds while First Baseman Tucker of the Bostons was alighting from tho coach at the door of the hotel where tho club was staying some one leaned out of the window of a passing trolley car and struck him in the mouth. The blood spurted from the effects of tho blow. and Tucker and Right Fielder Bannon started in pursuit of tho car. They could not catch the rapidly nov ing car. and after running for about half a square they stopped and Tuck CT began to call for the police.
 In the meantime crowd of about 500 men and boys had collected. and Ban- non discreetly retired within the hotel. Tucker remained in the street, how
  ever and by the time the police came up he was in danger of being roughly handled by the angry crowd that had collected around him. Tucker made matters worse by abusing the police for not discovering his assailant. and final- ly. more to protect him than anything else, Tucker was arrested and taken to the station house. Later in the evening he was released.
 On the way from the grounds this afternoon, while the Boston players coach was passing Twelfth and Race street, some boys threw a tomato. One of the players, said to be Lowe, jumped from the coach, and, catching one of the boys, struck him and knocked him down: and while he was lying on the pavement kicked him lin the side. This action probably led to the scene before the hotel.
 Before leaving with the team tonight Tucker denounced his arrest as an out rage. and said he should have received protection from the police.

THE eERMAN LINES OUT.
They Will Now CasFy Emigrants to Eng.
 land for o1O.


 New York. July 1S.-Both the Ham, burg-American and the North German Lloyd have reduced rates for emigrants to @1o to London and all railway sta tions in England and Glasgow.
 This is a cut of s or more, and is aimed at the White Star. American and Cunard lines, and reduces the income of 8 ticket to the German lines to $4.
 The White Star line was obliged to- day to cease booking emigrants for its steamer Teutonic. which is to leave for Liverpool next Wednesday. About 900 third class passengers have been booked for the vessel.
 Agent Samuel Certes of the White Star line said to-day: Tt Is mistak- en idea that cut rates are likely to bring a large immigration here. Everybody who goes to Europe for $l0 will spread reports about the hard times here, and few will come. It was 30 in 1873 when we had . $10 rate, and 1t was in 1878 be- fore immigration was revived.

Accusations Made Against Civil Service
 Officer.
 New York, July 1S.-The exposure of an alleged scandal in connection with the civil service commission in Brook lyn, which has just become known, was the cause of general comment in that city to-day. Mayor Schieren has become thoroughly aroused, and to-day ex- pressed his indignation.
 Joseph L. Bergen, No. 96 Fourth place. is responsible for the statement that Edward Dalton, clerk of the oon- mission, offered to secure for him a position on the police force for $40. In verifcation of this declaration Bergen produced letters written by Dalton. In one of these Is asked for what they were talking about on the 18th of the month" In explanation of this Dalton admits the writing of the letter, and says 1t refers to $2o which he says Der gen agreed to pay him for assistance" He also admits the writing of other let- ters of somewhat similar character.
 On learning of the charges Mayor Schieren at once sent for Alexander E. Orr, the president of the civil service commission and informed him that a thorough investigation of the matter would be made. and that the man, If proven guilty, would be brought to &C., count for his actions. Just what action would be taken the mayor could not say. but intimated that it would be prompt and thorough. ' '- t--5f
 While Dalton does not deny the au- thorship of tho letter. he does deny Bergen's statements, and characterizes him as "a crank and an ignorant liar" as regards the true facts of the case.

CONFEREES CANNOT AGREE.

Congressman Wilson Will So Report to
 the House To-day.
 Washington, July 1S.-Senator Jones of Arkansas. after the intellectual meet ing of the democratic conferees this morning, drove straight to the white house and had an hours conference with the president.
 The house conferees had a consulta- ton this afternoon with Speaker Crisp before going to the full conference and came away convinced that they were pursuing the right course in insisting on the essential features of the house bill.
 Within very few minutes after the confarees met Mfr. Voorhees, an- nounced that 1t was apparent that the two houses were unable to agree, and 1t had been decided to report general disagreement. ...
 MT. Wilson stated after the confer ence that he would make the report to the house tomorrow morning. Dur ing the informal discussion in the com 21lLGec TOOI1 uS WdS dSkeQ Dy senator Jones how long the house would prob ably keep the bill, whereupon Mr. Will son replied that he thought the con- 3erees would be instructed to insist up- on the house bill, and the conferees would be sent back within two hours. The same question was then put to Sem atof Jones, and he said that the action of the senate would dpend upon the action of the house. If the house in- sisted upon heaping coals of fire on the heads of the senate conferees and as- sailing them 1t would be very likely that the senate, when the bill came back, would in like mannsr debate the bill.
 MT Wilson says the report of the con- lerees will be verbal and will simply state that the conference committee q the two houses has failed to reach m agreement.
 1t Is learned that the determination of the house conferees to insist on the house bill has the hearty approval not only of many leading democrats in the house. but also Speaker Crisp and Cleveland
