Because He Refused to Pay Their De-
mands-His Place Was One of the Most
Notorious in New York Few Years
Ago-He Says Damaging Things About
Captain Murphy and Other Officers in
His Precinct.

His Precinct.
New. York, June 20.-At the police in
vestigation, today, Harry Hill took the
stand. He told Mr.. Golf, he was an un-
willing witness. what time did you open
your house in Houston street?" In 1894, l

down stairs. The police took charge of him.

we got on well together. You had trouble
with an officer named Murphy? Yes, sir,
Capt. Murphy. Harry said Murphy pre-
tended to be friend of his, but he was
only few days in the ward when Murphy
began to blackmail him. He got Murphy
into the ward and had spoken about him to
the police commissioners. l thought he was
my best friend, said the witness. He drank
my wine and was not particular to the
number of bottles opened. He always
brought friends and they too took my wine.

any other of the captains. Murphy brought
friends who he said wanted to see the sights
of New York, like the committee here. He
said he would pay for wine. but never did.
What time did he strike you just for money?
A good many times. Detective Moran was
the man who collected the money. He told
me one day did not pay as much money as
other houses. He wanted $500. / said l
would not give it as l was. keeping straight
house. When gave up my place in Houston
street, tried to make "a living in Harlem,

annoyed me constantly. There were
gambling houses and bed houses all around,
but they did not interfere with them. They
bounded me constantly. Harry told how
Superintendent Murray and Inspector
Steers sent for him when there was sus-
picion at headquarters that something was
wrong. Murray and Steers told me, said
Harry, they would protect me if told them
the amount paid Murphy. They promised
they would not give me away and l told.
Notwithstanding their promise l was
brought before the police commissioners and
then l was called squealer. The witness
told how he applied for license in Green

Bangor, June 0.-Tha new steamer
City of Bangor, of the Boston and Ban
gor line, the largest, handsomest and
best boat which ever came into Bangor,
arrived here on her maiden trip at $50
0 clock, and received royal welcome.
Many Bangor people went to Kockland
to meet and come up the river on the
new craft. When she swept around High
Head this afternoon, and was pointed
toward her wharf she was resplendent in
the elaborate code of colors presented to
her by the Bangor Board of Trade, while
Captain Otis Ingraham from his position
on the hurricane deck, wore smile
power The Belfast band on the steam
er played jubilantly, while the Bangor
band played on the wharf. The hells on
the public buildings in the city, innum-
erable steam whistles, three field pieces
and thOusuds of people along the
wharves contributed Bangor's quota of
the joyful din which marked the occa-
sion. The bells were rung aud the salute
fired by order of Mayor Beal, who was
determined that the city's graceful and
speedy nautical namesake should be
greeted so demonstratively that all con-
nected with her would long remember
it. President Hill and General Passen-
ger Agent Austin of the steamship COM
pany were on board and were delighted
with the cordiality of Bangor reception
of the new craft. Tonight they rendered
reception on board, from until 10
O'Clock, to the Bangor Board of Trade,
the Tarratine Club and hundreds OF
other Bangor people, to whom invita-
tions had been sent. There was nothing
but praise for the steamer and her fit
tings, and her career certainly commence
es auspiciously on this end of the route.

Sioux. City. Ia, June 2o.-A storm,
with rain and hail, struck this city at
6 a. m. today. The roof of the Illinois
Central station was carried over the de-
pot and dropped in the street. A whole
sale furniture house was unroofed, and
the Gettysburg cyclorama was wrecked.
For 45 minutes the air was so full of
flying debris that it was unsafe to be
on the streets. The wind was followed
by ten minutes of rain and hail. The
streets were badly washed out and the
corn crop in the vicinity has suffered
1t is believed that great damage has
been done in the surrounding country.

The Storm at Fryeburg.
Especial to the Press. J


Fryeburo. June 20.-A series of thun
der storms visited Fryeburg on Monday
night, the 18th, and one of them did
considerable damage and displayed the
eccentricity of the electric fluid. The
storm came early in the evening, and a
bolt struck the telephone wire near the
residence of Mr.. L. G. Charles on South
Main street. 1t ran along the wire un-
til it reached the meat market on Smith
street, where the telephone Office is sit
uated. The electric fluid followed the
wire across the store and then passed out
through the cellar, not harming in the
least the dog, who was 10 the cellar.
The passage of the fluid through the
store was far otherwise. 1t tore out a
side door and destoyed the two large bay
windows in 'front.' 1t went through a
tin can without destroying it. No one
happened to be in the store at the time
of the shower. The clerk, Mr.. R. Hill,
was on the sidewalk, in front of the
store, and was just about to enter. The
market is much frequented, and had the
building been struck earlier in the day
loss of life must have resulted. The
building was insured.

spection and all pronouncing her the
