BROOKLYN Courthouse during the Mckane trlal.
At least one of the jurors was approached be-
fore being accepted. but he paid little attention
10 the man who spoke to him; nor does there
seem 10 be any solid basis for criminal proceed
ings in the fact that this same jurors wife was
aftcrward asked 10 influence her husband in

and probably protected themselves successfully.

An effective commentary on The Tribunc's
declaration yesterday that jury service should
be regarded as public duty that ought not to

by the failure of a number Of taleSmcn sum

THE TEST or HONESTY.

There cannot be a single member Of the Lcgis-
laturc. elected as a Republican, who does not
now know definitely and clearly what the voters
who elected him expect Of him with reference
to certain bills now pending at Albany, to which
we have heretofore repeatedly called attention
and which are specified elsewhere. Chief in i'm
nortance Of these are the bills which have a
direct bearing upon our present police system.
In that system is the centre and source of the
greatest danger which mcnaccs not merely the
lives and property the comfort and security Of
all citizens but free institutions and civil lib
erty BY IL the taX-cOnSumcrs and bOOdlcrs
who control 1T are enabled TO defeat every ef-
fort of honest citizens in behalf of good gov
eminent and honest administration. BY means
OF its machinery. operated by criminals in the
interest Of crime, popular elections are made n
dismal farce, the voice Of the voter silenced and
his will defeated Against the conditions which
Il has engendered all honest citizens. Demo-
Gratis as well as Republicans, have risen in
angry protest and demanded n complete and
radical change. There is no difference Of opn-
ion on this question among the voters who
elected this Republican Legislature Tho de
mand they make upon their representatives is
distinct and unmstakablc. No man at Albany
is ignorant Of II. none can misunderstood il,
none ignore it. Never was duty palmer; never
delay hesitation or faltcring more incxcusablc
or more clearly attributable to corrupt motives.
1t is known that the emissarics Of Tammany
have been active at Albany during the last
week That they have an abundant corruption
fund need hardly be said. The sources on which
they can draw for such purposes are in plain
view and need not be pointed out; and they are
almost inexhaustible These people have with

Mayor Gilroy has ventured to reply to the
answer made by the Rapid Transit Committee
of the Chamber of Commerce to his letter in
opposition to the rapid-transit plan proposed
by MIR. Hewitt What he says will have little
influence in changing public opinion. which has
strongly declared in favor Of the Chamber OF
Commerce bill. If we read between the lines it
is easy TO see that Mr.. Gilroys objection to the
measure is that there is nothing in 1t for Tam

II IS well known that nothing would please
Mayor Giroy better than to see the City Hall
removed In order 10 make room for a building
which If erected according TO his Ideas would be
many times removed from thing OF beauty and

for a new municipal building outside OF the City
Hall Park IL the great expense which the pur-
chase Of a suitable and convenient site would in
volve. But ne The Tribune has repeatedly
pointed out. and County Clerk Purroy has
urged many times In the Municipal Building
Commission itself. II IL not necessary to go out

A MILLIONAIRE'S HEIRS.
A COMPLICATED CASE OF DAUGH-
TER AND WIVES.
Millionaire Sinclair has a Variety
of Claimants for His Shekels.

New YORK, Nov. 16.-Mrs. Alice
Mariner has lived in Carlstadt for
20 years. Her pretty daughter has
boarded in Brooklyn for almost a
third of that time. Mrs. Mari
ner's maiden name was Alice Sim
clair. She was the daughter Of a
prosperous iron manufacturer,
William Sinclair, and lived in Liv-
erpool, Eng, with him until her
mother died ~ years ago. Then
she went to live with her mothers
family, the wealthy Halves of
Great Georges street, Liverpool,
while her brother Frederick was
kept by the father. Some how the
girl saw but little Of her father and
brother after that. She heard that
the father had gone to America
and that the brother had gone to
Australia. When Alice became
young woman she learned that
her father was living in America
and had made money In the iron
business. He had married again
and that filled Alice Sinclair with
a sort of pique. She married too,
and came to this country, but did
not look for her father. About two
weeks ago some one asked Miss
Mariner if she was related to the
wealthy Sinclairs of Baltimore.
"Not that | know o." said Miss
Mariner.
"They are English people," was
the answer, land the newspapers
say that one of them died a short
time ago leaving over $2,00O,0 Oesso
heirs, all of whom have not been
located"
~ thought Of that continually"
said Miss Mariner to a friend.
81 dreamed of it. | learned that
| the dead man was William Sinclair,
an iron manufacturer. OF course
| pondered over it great deal, but
| | don't recollect that / wrote any
thing about it to my mother or
| talked much about it,"
A week after the conversation
quoted occurred, Mrs. Mariner
started from her sleep in Carlstadt
one night. She had heard strange
voices calling to her. "Alice SIM
clair, get up" they seemed to say.
"You are the heir of William Sim
clair, of Baltimore"
Being plain woman of Quaker
belief she was puzzled. She final
ly fastened to her daughters house
in Brooklyn. Together they be-
came aware of the wonderful phe-
nomena that had occurred. They
began to inquire about the dead
| William Sinclair, millionaire, and
went to his lawyers, Barton and
Wilmer, in Baltimore, and to his
executors. They learned that he
had been living with his third wife
when he died and that Frederick
Sinclair was mentioned In his will
He has two wives, one who was
Miss Resale Orphall, Of high
family, in Jacksonville, Fla. Be-
fore he had married her and the
| other, Miss Phoebe Sinclair, Of Bal
timore, had began contest over
his will. He had large interests in
the Boston Gas Light company, the
Baltimore Gas company and SINH.
lar companies in Cleveland. Mrs.
Mariner has obtained counsel and
will endeavor to protect her rights
