BALL WITH A BABY.
Dorney and Mrs. Madison Tossed
It To and Fro.
He Says 1t Is His Child and the
Mother Denies 1t in Court.

Mrs. william Madison and George
Dorney were arraigned in the Yorkville
Police Court to-day IN a charge OF
abandoning a ten-months-old infant.
The evidence show that a somewhat
remarkable state of affairs existed.
Last March Dorney, who lives at 342
East Thirty sixth street, called on MIS-
Madison al her home. First avenue. be-
tween Eighth and Ninth streets. Her
husband is a slipper cutter by occupa-
ton, hut owing to the hard times "a rev
months ago was thrown out of work
and has been unable to procure n
since. Dorney had with him a
baby, which he desired to leave with
Mrs. Madison as a boarder: she was
to care for the he child iim for 20 81, 3 certain length
Dorney claimed that the child was
his, and hat the mother OF the child
was a Mrs. Annie Burke, Of 4S2 Tenth
Dorney only paid Mrs. Madison $3.50 of
the stipulated sum. She did not see
Dorney for a long time; Last night
while she was out walking with the
child she met him at the corner OF First
avenue and Twenty-seventh street. She
told him II he did not pay. her she would
not keep the child any longer. and at
the same I me placed the baby IN ms
hTHls. bothey ~ -
back.
Several times the child passed between
them. the distance growing greater
every tine. The last toss which
ended the scene was made by
Dorney. The infant fell short Of Mrs.
Madison and struck the sidewalk. Luck
ily the child was uninjured.
There were several witnesses OF the
! occurrence, among whom was Oficer
Schoell, Of the East Twenty-second
street station. He arrested both. A 1T.
/ East T~wenty-third street. picked up the
child.
In police court this morning Dorney
claimed he was the father of the child.
and that he had given II out to board
because the mother. Mrs. Burke. was out
OF work. his intention being to let the
child remain a boarder until the mother
was properly situated to care for II,
Mrs. Burke. who was In court, denied
that Dorney was the father or the child.
and said that her husband was its
father.
Mrs. Madison said she was willing to
still keep the child II she was paid.
Dorney was held for trial In bonds OF
81 600 and Mrs. Madison was ~ischarged
The child was turned over to the Gerry
Mrs. Burke. the mother OF the child,
| told an "Eyening World" reporter that
she was formerly a Miss Annie OBrien,
and married "A man named Burke, who
deserted her. She had known Dorney,

NO FEARS FOR LANCASTER.
Admiral Ghcrnrdi Thinks She Ii
Making n Southern Passage.

Anxious about the Lancaster" said
Rear Admiral Gherardi. at the Navy
Yard. to-day. mo, sir. and / shall not

Ave days yet"
The Lancaster is one OF the few relics OF
the old navy Of the auxiliary class; that
is, she is a full-rigged ship. and is a.so
equipped with steam power. She passed
Gibraltar May 2. homeward bound, from
the China station, where she was relieved
by the cruiser Baltimore. She Is COM
manded by Capt. A. ii. Mccormick. and
Is now twenty-seven days out.
Rear Admiral Gherardi stated that the
Lancaster Is probably coming by the
southern route, which would take her
nearly down TO the West Indies. This
would allow her to make her northing with
the N. T.. trades.
He thought she would make most Of
the run under sail, as she can, under
favorable conditions. sail from ten TO
| twelve knots, while under steam her
greatest speed Is eight knots.
The Rear Admiral said. however. that
he had no means OF knowing what her
! orders are, and will not expect her until
the newspapers announce her on Fire
Island.
| concluded. II believe 1t has been de-
cided to equip her with modern arma-
| ment and use her for a gunnery training
ship; but l can't say what station she
| will be attached to-"
| The Lancaster was launched In 1859 and
| was considered the most formidable war

ANOTHER SMUGGLER CAUGHT
This Time a Cabin Passenger Had
Jewelry Worth $500.

Attempts at smuggling rave become So
numerous that scarcely a transatlantic
steamer carrying passengers comes into
port without some one e~ndeavoring to
pass the Custom-House officials with du-
table goods in his possession.
When the North ~German-Lloyd steam
ship Saale reached her dock at Hoboken
this morning Albert Reinthaler. a cabin
passenger tried to get off the dock with
some valuable jewelry in his possession,
but was unsuccessful. When Reinthaler
made his declaration to the staff officer
on the dock he was asked expressly II
he had any presents for friends with him.
Inspectors Brown and Donohue, who
were on duty at the time. had been
watching him, however, and had seen
him remove a package from his inner
pocket and place II in his overcoat pocket.
They took possession OF the package,
and 1t was found to contain a Valuable
heavy cased gold watch, fully jewelled,
OF foreign manufacture, with the Initials
w. S. engraved on the case. They also
found two gold brooches set with dia-
monds, rubies. emeralds and sapphires,
and each contained a han painted por-
trait on porcelain.
Reinthaler Their admitted that they
were presents for friends in Cleveland. o.,
where he lived. The value OF the seizure
will probably not be less thar $500.

new TARIFF BEFORE JULY.
Unless Present Calculations at
Washington Are Wrong.
Ten Days Expected to Bring n House
and Senate Agreement.


WASHINGTON. May 29.-The Tariff
leaders Of the House do not expect to
have another long tariff fight In that
Senate. On the contrary. the belief Is
that ten days will be ample to settle all
differences between the House and Sem
ate. The calculation Is that the Senate
will get through with the bill by June
l5 to IS, so that the ten days allowed for
reconciling differences would permit the
bill to go to the President for his sigma
ture before June closes.
The programme of action In the House
has been pretty fully outlined. although
no formal action has been taken by the
Ways and Means Committee. AS soon
as the bill comes back to the. House
Chairman Wilson will move a disagree
ment to the Senate amendments and a
reference 10 a conference committee.
This disagreement Is n Formally. and is
not indicative OF any line of policy by
Mr.. Wilson or his associates.
In selecting the conferrees II Is expect
ed That the usual rule giving preference
to chairmen Of committees and sub-com-
on customs. on internal revenue n on
income tax. The Subcommittee on
Customs has Mr.. Wilson as Chairman
Wilson will certainly be chosen. and In
view OF the Importance of the customs
branch OF the iii. Mr.. Breckenridge Is
also likely to be named as a conferree..
There is an additional reason for this
from The fact that Mr.. Wilson's Ill
health and recent absence from Wash
ington has made him rely much on the
close attention Mr.. Breckenridge has
given to the bill during its Senate
stages. Representative McMillin CTenn.)
is Chairman OF the subcommittee on in
come tax, and Representative Turner
(Ga } Chairman of the subcommittee on
internal revenue.

REFRACTORY TARS TR|CKED.
Mutinous Sailors Of the Lydgate
Reshipped on the Scottish Isles.
Thought They Were Going Ashore,
but Are Bound for Java.

The shipping agents. who furnished
the crew for the British bark Lydgate,
about which SO much talk of unseawor-
thiness has been INDUCED in for a week
past. played n clever trick upon the mu-
tinous portion of the crew late last
night.
Upon the Lydgate's arrival here thir-
teen OF her foremost hands ran away
and thirteen new men were shipped in
their places.
Next the hue and cry went up on
board that the Lydgate was t~op-heavy,
and that she was not properly laden and
would capsize as soon as sail was made
on her.
SO these thirteen men refused to go to
sea In her. Late last night the shipping
agents, who had advanced $40 In wages
to each man, went alongside with a tug
boat, ostensibly to bring the refractory
ship Scottish Isles dropped down from
her dock and anchored within a few
hundred yards of the Lydgate.
The sailors threw their luggage aboard
the Jonah" ship, with visions of a
nights frolic dancing before their eyes.
Inc tug lines were cast of and she
very sooh made fast to the Scottish
Isles, and the men were ordered to tum-
BILE aboard. There they found the ship
ping agents. accompanied by the British
vice-Consul. with the shipping articles
him. The men were offered a chance to
sign In the Scottish Isles for Java or go
ashore In irons and sail in the Lydgate
for Shanghai.
They were completely taken by sur
prise, and as the only reason they gave
for not carrying out their contract on the
Lydgate was that they considered her
on the Scottish Isles articles.
The Lydgate has a full crew on board
and will sail tomorrow morning IL the
wind serves. Her new crew express per-
feet confidence in her sea W~orthlnesS.
