days ago, and pronounced him guilty.
Rumors have come to the court and his
counsel at various times that he had been
seen, but no direct word came from Suther-
land, however.
Before court opened this morning, Lawyer
Backus sent men out to Gravesend, and also
others to scour Brooklyn, to look for the
missing Justice. He could, however, get no
trace of him. just before he went into
court, he talked with Police Headquarters,
Coney Island, over the telephone. They said
that Sutherland had not been heard from.
The bondsmen are Robert Furey and ex-
Senator James W. Birkett. The bond is
conditioned in the sum of $4,000. The war
rant was put in the hands of Sheriff Butt
ling to be served.
Lawyer Jere Weinberg gave notice that
he would move for trial under the other in
dictlnents on Monday. If Sutherland is not
caught by that time all his bonds, which
amount to 1880, will be forfeited.

Had Killed His Two sisters in a
Most Shocking Manner.

ecution of John Hart took place at II :04
o'clock this morning There were no bitches
to mar it.

gether with two daughters, were

being shaved
Nellie Hart survived until the next day.
She made a long statement fixing the crime
on her brother and furnishing all the neces-
sary details

and it was only the prompt measures of pro-
lection taken by Sheriff Burbank that pre-
vented lynching.
Hart was brought to trial during the first
week in February. Insanity was the de-
fence, but the jury was prompt in rendering
verdict of guilty. The motion for a new
trial was promptly overruled, and on Febru-
ary Hart was sentenced to death.

TYPOGRAPHICAL MAPS.
One to Re ISSUED Couering About
One-fifth of New York State.

WASHINGTON, March 49, 1894.-The Geo
graphical Survey will shortly issue topo-
graphical maps covering about one-fifth of
New York State, the results of the recent
survey to which the State appropriated S24 :
900, the government adding an equal amount.
The parts already covered include Albany,
Utica, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo and
the Niagara River. part of the Erie canal, all
of the Chaplain canal system and neighbor-
hood, locating exactly and correctly for the
first time the eastern boundary of the State.
The exact area and boundary of every town
and village are also given for the first time.
This map gives every railroad, elevation,
house, road, creek, river and ravine in the
State. The proposed new acqueduct for
bringing the the water supply of Albany
was laid out from this map, saving several
thousands of dollars.
The elevations are indicated by line
marking every rise or fall of twenty feet
Thus road can be followed in every turn,
up and down every hill and across every
stream. The tourist regions of Watkins
Glen, the Adirondacks and the Cats
kills are also given for the first time. The
exact topography of the country fronting
on the st. Lawrence River and the
lakes, shown at glance, would be invaluable
in case of hostilities with Canada, and the
Adjutant General of New York has request
ed that this part of the work be given pref
erence.
The States of Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut and New Jersey, having dis
cerned the advantages of having such a map
as this, have already been surveyed
1t will require six or seven years to finish
the work in New York State
1t is proposed to survey the entire United
States in a like manner, unless Congress- in
the meantime. should carry out Mr. Enloe's
idea of abolishing the survey.

DIR. WARDEN's SOCIAL CALLS.

They Offset, Miss Williamson
Thought. All Professional Ones.
There were some rather spicy develop
ments this morning in a case of DR.. A. w.
Warden of Union Hill, against Miss May E.
Williamson of No. 1868 Grove street, this
city, in the Hoboken District Court. The
suit was brought by the physician to
force payment of a bill of SIG
for professional services rendered" Last
December Miss Williamson, being ILL., was
attended by the doctor. He made frequent
calls, in all about forty-five. Miss William
son made twelve visits to the doctors office
when she grew better. When the doctor
sent in the bill for $116 Miss Williamson
nigh had fainting spell. She declared she
would not pay the bill, so suit was brought.
sci, and for the physician Counsellor
BeSson.
The suit started at a jog trot but soon as
sumed much livelier pace, until things be-
came decidedly interesting
Miss WilliamsOn'S counsel admitted that
DR.. Warden had made the number of calls
stated, but, he added very significantly, that
some of the visits were not entirely
professional. This gentle insinuation
that the doctor had made social
calls was partly refuted by Counsellor
Besson, but he added that if the calls had
been made as social ones they were solicited
by Miss Williamson. Miss Williamson
b1ushed as the counsel uttered this state
ment.
Her counsel spoke up and said twas
lie, that Miss Williamson never
asked the doctor to make social
calls. but the physician contended that he
had been there at her solicitation and that
she had been real sociable, too. Things were
getting more and more interesting, when
counsel on both sides concluded enough had
been said for the day. The case was ad-
journed until March 80.

PARIS, March 16, 1S94.-It is stated by the
police that Desire Joseph Pauwels, the Anar-
chist who was killed by the explosion of
bomb he was carrying into the Madeline
Church yesterday, was in Barcelona at the

Theatre in that city on November last, and

cape arrest 1t is said, too, that he was an
intimate friend of Martial Bourdin, who also
met his death by the explosion of his own
bomb in Greenwich Park, London, on the
evening of February Is.
The police searched the rooms in the
suburbs occupied by Pauwels and his wife,
this morning. The search has confirmed the
belief that Pauwels was really the notorious
Anarchist known as Rabardy. Bombs sim
liar in every respect to the ones found in
Rabardys room in the Hotel de La Renais-
sance were found in the apartments occu-
pied by Pauwels and his wife, and letters,

WORK ON WOoDLAWN SEWER AGAIN

The Lehigh Valley Railroad has again

in Greenville. The excavation under the
railroad tracks made few days ago by
Contractor Condon's men has been filed in
by the railroads employees, and tho prospect
of an early completion of the much needed
Improvement is again knocked out The
reason given by the railroad people for the
stopping of the work is that the agreement
made by the Street and Water Commission

which the former promises to place the
sewer pipes now on the meadows under
ground has not yet been signed by the
Mayor Contractor Condor will make no
effort to complete the sewer until the diff

death that has occurred in Baltimore fol
many years has occasioned more widespread
regret than that of John T. Ford, the vete

1t would seem as if every hand was desir-
Gus of casting flower of grateful memory

PRESIDENT FEENEY IGNORED.
Republican Police Commissio ners
Have Their own Way.

Republican Police CommissIo ners
Have Their own Way.
The Republican majority in the Board of
Police Commissioners gave President Feeney
an experience at a meeting held yesterday
afternoon that he is not accustomed to. Ap-
pointments were made and partisan rulings
enforced without even extending the official
courtesy of consulting him. Mr.. Feeney
was mad, and, although he didn't say SO, be
showed 1t. The first hitch arose when
Colonel Abernethy moved for the appoint
ment of Dr. John j. Baunann as a member
of the medical staff of the City Hospital to
succeed Philemon Hummel, deceased. Presi-
dent Feeney placed DR.. Ray Ingls in noini-
nation, but he was outyoted Mr. Feeney
did not like DR.. Baumann's appointment and
reminded his colleagues that his wishes in
the matter had been disregarded and that he
had not been consulted about the proposed
appointment, in fact, did not know an ap-
pointment was to be made until DR.. Bau-
mann's name was mentioned
Policeman Philip Niger was transferred
to be helper on the Third precinct patrol
wagon, to succeed Thomas Sutton, who was
returned to patrol duty.
The republican members then sprung two
more appointments on Mr. Feeney. They
were Samuel Craig and Frederick w Her
ring as chancemen. Both men are republi-
cans
Policeman Coyne of the First precinct was
before the board charged by Captain Farrier
with having failed to report at fire.
Coyne's excellent reputation as member of
the force caused the board to dismiss the
charge and honorably discharge him.
Policeman John j. Murphy of the First
precinct was the cause of a lively scene at
the meeting. Murphy is accused of using
violent language unbecoming an officer to

on January l. Murphy had occasion to
enter the lady's house for someone on that
date While i'll there he used the language
which is now causing him SO much trouble
When the charge against him was called up
the first time neither Murphy nor his wit
nesses were on hand. When it was called
the second time Murphy's witnesses absented
themselves. Yesterday the complainant and
witnesses failed to appear Colonel Aber-
matter had a questionable appearance, and
declared it only just that Murphy should be
suspended until all the witnesses in the case
could be made to appear. Murphy explained
that the first time he was sick, second time
his witnesses were before the Grand Jury
He did not know why the complaint did not
appear. President Feeney argued that it
would be doing great injustice to the officer
to suspend him. He said that the officer
could not consistently be held responsible for
the fact that his witnesses were before the
Grand Jury, neither for the failure of COM
plainant to appear. Murphy was suspended
by vote of two to l.
John Nugent was fined five days pay for
being absent without leave; Thomas Toney,
one days pay for being off post, Chanceman
Siminsh two days pay for absence without
leave
The board adjourned to meet again on
the Goth.

RUSSIAN-GERMAN TREATY PASSED
Debate in the Refchstag ON Hts Third
Reading.
Bv Cable to the United Press.

BIZ Gable to the United Frees.
BERLIN March 16, 1S94.-Th Reichstag
has passed the German Russian commercial
treaty.
The Russian-German commercial treaty
came up in the Reichstag for its third read
ing today.
Baron Hoyl zu Herrnsheim, National
Liberal said there was no need of belonging
to the Agrarian League, as DR.. Miquel's
speech had distressed the agriculturalists
sufficiently to convince them that the treaty
ought to be rejected
DR.. Heereman Won Zuydwyk, clerical, de-
clared that the Government must immedi-
ately redeem its long neglected pledges to
the agriculturalists.
Baron Won Hammerstein, Conservative,
said the Government believed it would be
able to continue its present majority, but
the time would come when it would be
forced to appeal to its present opponents,
who would require deeds rather than words
if the Government would regain their conf
dence. He attacked the foreign policy of
Chancellor Won Caprlvi, especially in the
matter of the relations between Germany
and England.
Prince Radztwill, Pole, supported the
Government, which, he declared, was seek
ing the welfare of all classes
Herr Won Kardorff, Reform party, spoke
violently in opposition to the treaty, de-
claring that Germany was not secondary to
Russia.
Herr Thomson. Freisinnige, said the adop-
tion of the treaty would secure peace and
prosperity; its rejection would cause war
and commercial ruin.
Herr Liebermann Won Sonnenberg said the
treaty would make Russia the arbiter of
Europe. The Socialists supported the mea-
sure, he said, because it would expedite an
industrial crisis, thereby swelling their
ranks.
Herr Lieber, Reform, said that Prince
Bismarck, in 1887, had founded treaty
policy of raising the duty on grain to a com
pensating rate pending treaty negotiations.
The Government would have achieved its
greatest success if Russia had been drawn
within the European Commercial Union.
Chancellor Won Caprivi, he said, had verified
the principle of Prince Bismarck that ''the
road to sConstantinople lies through Bran
denburg Gate"
Baron Won Manteuffel, Conservative, said
the treaty would strike the death knell of
Germanic civilization.
Baron Won Stumm Halberg, Reform, de-
clared that the treaty would amply protect
the workingnen of the nation.
Count Herbert Bismarck denied the asser-
tion mat his father had used the words
which Herr Lieber had ascribed to him as
the principle of the Bismarck regime. Ger
many, he said, had no interest in the Black
Sea or the Mediterranean.
Chancellor Won Caprivi angrily denied chat
he had used the Swords ascribed to him as
his own. He had quoted them from the
Russian newspapers.

FERRYB0ATs IN COLLISION.

The ferryboat Princeton, which left its
New York slip last night at $50 for Jersey
City, when in mid-stream, collided with the
Hudson City, of the P. R. R. and the
Kingston of the West Shore R. r. The
Hudson City was going to New York while
the Kingston was, steaming down stream.
The bows of all three came together in a
bunch. Luckily none of the boats was
going at full speed. When the respective
captains saw collision was inevitable, the
engines were reversed, and their way as
much as possible checked.
When the shock came the ladies on the
boats screamed and rushed about. When,
however, they found that they were not
going to the bottom they plucked up courage
and thought it rather funny than otherwise
The rail on the ladies' cabin and poop deck
of the Hudson City were smashed and there
was slight damage to the front of the
Kingston. In all $500 will cover what will
need repairing Each of the captains de-
clare he is not to blame, and says it's the
other fellow. An investigation is now
begun.
