publican caucus. which had agreed on
a $500 fee, deserted the two other Repub-

to keep the fee at $500. The meeting ad-
journed before the fee was fixed.
This has aroused the temperance ele-

LOST FOR TWENTY YEARS.
A Valuable Stone IL Recovered IN ..
Strange Manner. M

BY a curious combination Of chances Q
diamond which was lost more tha0
twenty years ago at Birmingham has
been discovered. and Is now In the hands
OF the chief constable. says the Black
burn Times.
Some days ago one of the workmen in
the employ OF Messrs. Taunton. safe,
manufacturers, was engaged In repairtn9j
a safe. and came across q piece OF
paper In a crevice, In which was n large
diamond. estimated to be worth at least
fiOO.
The condition Of the paper indicated
that the stone had been undisturbed for
a long time. and the finder considered
he was entitled to what he had found
Some inquiries were afterwards made,
which resulted in the discovery that the
owner of the safe bought 1t four years
ago from the late Mr.; Davis. Mr.. 8. J.
Davis, the son, explained that soma
twenty years ago his father gave hia
mother huge diamond. which she
placed in a piece of paper with the name
OF her son, and then deposited 1t some-
where for security.
She hid 1t SO effectually that It could
not be found afterwards. The piece Of
paper in which the diamond was
wrapped does bear the name OF Mr..
Davis, and there is little doubt the stone
belongs to him.

BROOKLYN SAYS SMALLPOX

pletOn "Chicken-POx" Cases.


The Board of Health OF Edgewater. 8.
l.. while 1t will not admit that there has
ever been cases of smallpox at Eta
pleton, has decided to take immediate
action. as requested by the Board of
Health Of this city.
A messenger came in hot haste this
morning and delivered letter to Presi-
dent Wilson from John L. Feeny. the
Health Officer of Edgewater, to the
above effect.
President Wilson and the other men,
bers of the Health Board are greatly
exercised over the difference of opinions
as to the smallpox case in Stapleton
between DR.. Dotz and DR.. H. p. Loomis.
DR.. Dotz diagnosed the case as small
pox.
Dr. Loomis. who Is the pjathologist
of the Board Of Health. went down to
Stapleton and diagnosed the, case as
chisken-pox. In making out the certifi-
cate he used his official title. ''Dr. H.
p. Loomis, pathologist of the Board of
Health of New York"
This he had no right to do, and Presi-
dent Wilson has ordered an investlga-
tion.
Some inspectors of the Brooklyn
Health Department went down to
Staten Island yesterday and examined
some of the people there who were re-
ported to have chicken-pox. The Brook
iyn inspectors agreed with DR.. Doty
that the cases were smallpox.

sERGEANT WOULDN'T LISTEN.
McKervey Had a Complaint to
Make Against a Tammany Man.
He's a Brother of Byrnes's Rounds

Joseph McKervey, brother Of
Roundsman John McKervey. Of Supt
Byrnes's office, told story at Police
Headquarters to-day that will undoubt-
edly result In the formulation Of charges
against sergeant attached to the
Charles street station.
McKervey alleges that he was ordered
OF OF the Charles street station Satur-
day morning when he called to complain
of a man who had stabbed him. He was
covered with blood at the time and ex-
hibited his wounds. but the Sergeant
on duty. he alleges, refused to take n
complaint or to listen to his story, and
told him to "go home about his busi-
ness"
He had been employed by James Nc
Guire, who lives in Thirty-third street.

as a peddler. Mcclure runs a number
OF vegetable wagons about the city, and
McKervey had charge Of one Of them.
About two weeks ago he found another
Job and quit McGuire's employment.
Their was money due him. he alleges. for
two days work. Saturday morning he
went to Gansevoort Market to see Nc
CURE and collect his back wages.
Mcclure. according to McKerveys
story, denied that he owed him any
thing, and became greatly enraged. He
attacked McKervey with his fists, rails
ing several big bunches on his face, and
then drew a knife and stabbed him
twice, once in the forehead and once
through the nose.
McKirvey was stunned by the rounds
and half blinded by blood. He says he
was unable to defend himself from his
assailant, and was beaten and kicked al
most into insensibility. Although there
were q number OF hucksters standing
about, some attempted to interfere and
Mcclure only desisted when compelled
TO by exhaustion.
"As soon as i recovered my senses, u
said McKervey, II went TO the Charles
street station and told the sergeant a,

no attentionB to me, Mcguire Is a

McKervey showed two wounds, one on
his forehead about an inch long, directly

They were clean cut and must have been
made by some sharp instrument.

ARGUMENTS FOR M'KAAE.
Col James Begins the, Appeal for
Reversal Of JUDI ,ment
Says tho Proceedings A re Void and
that Justice Bartlett & Erred.

The appeal from the Ju' igment OF the
Court of oyer and Tel miner. which
sent John Y. McKane to Sing Sing for
q term of six years, wa the principal
business brought to the attention of the
General Term of the Second Depart
ment Of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn
to-day.
The entire evid,ence taken in the trial
was piled up in Cront of McRane's law
yers, making a breastwork about four
feet long and two feet high.
Col James opened the argument on
yhe appeal short ty after noon. The first
Ioint he made vras that the pro- ;eedings
Ihgainst McKan. have been void from
their inception ,or want of juri sdiction.
He held that Go '. Flower had nc, author
' fly to appoint arr Extraordinary Court OF
Oyer and Term iner; that Justice Cullen
had no jurisdi .tion to order Grand
Jury drawn under Gov. Flowe IS order
that the session of the Oyer and Ter
miner at which McKane was tried, con-
victed and sente need was a mt llity.
The reason given for these + oints was
that GOV. Flower exercised royal pre-
rogative without any author lty what
ever to do so. The second point raised
was that, it was illegal for more than
one Grand Jury to be in sesi sion in the
same county at the same time.
Mr.. James claimed as his ;hird point
that the indictment unGer which Nc
Kane was convicted was insufficient In
= that 1t did not contain n pla. n and con-
else statement of the acts constituting
the alleged crime.
The next objection was that the facts
stated in the indictment do not consti-
tute q crime. Col Jam es declared that
McKane was incompetent to commit the
crime charged because of the absence
OF any provision of law making him
culpable, and because there was no ex-
listing statute declaring the acts charged
to be a crime.
Col. James said that eight distinct
, crimes were huddled into one indict.
ment. He held that Justice Bartlett
erred in several rulings upon evidence
in admitting testimony and extraneous
= matter. which prejudiced the jury.
In concluding the argument on this
, point Col. James said ''If che Court
had taken one-half the pains to show
the jury how they could acquit the de-
fendant as to point out how they could
and should convict him there would
never have been any occasion for this
appeal"
