Gilroy Is well provided with political
Jobs.
Thomas F. Gilroy, head OF the family,
Is the Mayor of the city, with a salary
Of 5000 0 a year.
Thomas +. Gllroy, jr., is a lawyer, who
Is favored by certain Judges as a referee
In cases that yield big fees. In addition,
he Is a Commissioner of Estimate and
Appraisal in several street opening mat
tiers and a Commissioned to codify the
city ordinances at $500 a year.
John ]. Gilroy Is a partner in the coffee
importing firm of j. j. O'Donohue &
Sohs. After j.. j. O'Donohue retired
from the business his sons took young
Gilroy in with them. and on the prin-
cipie that one good turn deserves an
other, Mayor Gilroy appointed the elder
O'Donohue as City Chamberlain, the
highest salaried office under the city
government, which pays $4,000 a year
and fees.
The success of ex-Mayor Grant in
making money in the railroad advertis-
ing business induced John j. Gilroy to
compete for the Third Avenue Cable
line contract. Carleton & Nissan bid
SD, 900 foe 1t. Young Gilroy offered 500
more and got It. Ex-A1ayor Grant also
wanted the contract, which Is said TO be
worth about $4,000 a year in profits, but
he is out of power and can no longer
grant avors to corporations, so It went
to Gilroy, whose father recently APP

gets for very little work in such cases
are a beggarly pittance to the princely

be appraised by n Commission. which
will no doubt consist OF Tammany
favorites. have found 1T convenient to
their interests to employ Mulqucen as
their counsel. 1t is estimated that the
Job will net him at least $4,000.

DISABLED BRISCOE IN PORT.
Had Been Burning Her Woodwork
for Fuel for Two Weeks.

II = nv Aits''
ST JOHNS. N. F., March 3.-The
steamer Virginia Lake arrived here this
morning having in tow the long overdue
steamer Briscoe, lately reported as hav-
ing used her woodwork for fuel.
The Briscoe presented a melancholy
spectacle, being battered and smashed
in a terrible name everything nova
bic being swept off the decks and iron
pate and stanch!ons twisted into all
sorts OF forms. All spare gear, spars,
matches. shifting boards. bunker Innings
and a portion of the main deck sheath
ing had gone under the boilers to make
steam during the last two weeks. Capt:
Soares. of the Briscoe, says that nj all
his experience at sea he never saw such
weather as they encountered. lie says
that they owe their salvation to the
steamer Clunda. which towed them $50
miles towards 81. Johns. After their
hawsers had parted the ulunda was lost
in "A snowstorm and was not again seen.
Capt. Soares says that but for the as
s~istance thu rendered he would have
been compelled II abandon his vessel,
and In all probability all hands would
have persisted. The crew suffered
greatly from constant exposure and
scarcity of food. and when rescued by
the Virginia Lake the men were little
better than skeletons.
