A Startling Decision.
From Buffalo Express.l

There are few cases tried at the bar
that do not, at one time or another dur
ing their trial, develop a streak of
humor somewhere, but it is seldom
that the resultant decision, which
touches strictly on a question of the in
terpretaion of law statute, is ridicu-
lous in itself. A decision handed down
i'm this state not long ago was of this
kind. 1t involved the question of a
widows right of dover in the burial
lot of her husband, and she was doubt
less startled to learn, from the opinion
of the judge who heard the case, that
during life the lot was hers, and she
had a perfect right to be buried therein
as long as she lived, but that as soon as
she shuffied off this mortal coil she
would be oblige to vacate.

There were three indictments found
against him. He pleaded guilty to two
Of them. each of which charged him
with stealing 500.
At the opening Of the proceedings to-
day his lawyer, Thomas d. Pearsall,
made strong plea for light sentence.
He reviewed the defaulters past
record, which he said had been excel
lent. and said that he had been tempted
to take the money to invest in auto
matte racing machines.
"Lohman desires me to say right here,
said Mr.. Pearsall that 1t Is not true
that any of his stealings went into the
pockets, Of other city officials. Frank
McCutcheon. former secretary of the
Board Of Excise, was interested in an
automatic racing machine. They thought
they could make fortune in 1t in a
to push the enterprise. and Lohman took
1t from the money under his care.
Some of the money also went into the
Grand Opera-House."

At the conclusion of Mr.. Pearsall' .
address Judge Moore pronounced SEN
tence.

ment you are sentenced to Sing Sing

scquently arrested In Canada. He was
brought back from Toronto two weeks

SCHIEREN TO DECIDE.
No Licenses for Coney islanders
Without His Approval.
|lI Expire To-Day and the Dive
keepers Apply for Renewals.
Burlesque Enforcement of the Excise
and Concert Laws Yesterday.

Mayor Schieren, of Brooklyn, launched
another order on the wave of reform
sweeping over Coney Island this MORN
ing which may be considered the begin
ming OF the end for some OF the dive
keepers at the West End.
The Mayor sent word to the Excise
Commissioners that no licenses should be
granted for saloons on Coney Island with
out his consent The Mayor said he pro-
posed to investigate each application be-
fore granting license.
The licenses of the $50 saloons on the
island expire to-day, and as conse-
quence the Excise Department was
crowded with saloon-keepers anxious to
renew their licenses for saloons at West
Brighton.
Among the first callers this morning
was Nicholas j. Johnson, the Graves
ender who recently served thirty days
in RAYMOND Street Jail and paid fine
of $3.50 for helping John y. Mckane defy
the election laws last November.
Each of the applicants was given a
petition, which Is to be signed by fifteen
the saloon, before a license Will be
granted.
Mayor Schieren this morning received
a letter from a taxpayer on Coney Is
requesting that no license be granted to
certain resorts at the West End, which
the writer says, have been in existence
for years.
Inspector William j. McKelvey was
closeted with Superintendent of Police
Campbell this morning, making YER
bal repGrt on the suesHSs of the Brock
anders to observe the Sunday laws.
The Inspector spent all yesterday at
West Brighton, and stated this morn
tTntT hot hn Nnrfn tct ; !,
the way the proprietors of the dives,
concert halls, &c. conducted their es-
adjustments.
In not one instance. the Inspector
said, were the. orders issued by the
Department violated. Not a single ar
rest was made by the Brooklyn police
faction over the change at Coney Isl
and yesterday under the new regime, it
was all a burlesque enforcement of

drinks were sold freely.
But in each place signs of weiss

so as to, read, Beer Only" the weiss"
being obscured by a fold Of the paper.
At the concert hall owned by Count"
running without any attempt at con-
cealment. Beer and liquor were sold to
AL the patrons. It was the only place on
the entire island where a 'runner-in"
was at work, A man stood outside and
cautiously approached people in voice
hardly audible five feet away, asking
them to step inside
All the bands and organs attached to
the carrousels were silent.
One of the most notable changes on
the island was the absence of the
"barkers" Consequently proprletors Of
games, &C., which depended upon the
"barkers' to attract patrons, stood by
their stands doing little or no business.
One Of the most amusing features Of
the day was the 'soubrett2s doing their
turns" in the concert halls in long
skirts. The absence of tights and short
dresses seemed to embarrass the women,
and in the words of one proprietor,

Leech Hns Conclusion of the Brain
After n Circus Fight.

Coroner Kene, of Brooklyn, was
this mornig called to the bed
side Of Martin Leech, nineteen.
of SIS Union street. who is ly
ing at the point of death from the ef-
fects of a concussion of the brain, re-
ceived during a fight with one of the
attaches Of Barnum's circus on the
night of April 2S last.
Leech went to the circus grounds at
Fourth avenue and Second street, and
was walking around outside the tent,
when he saw two men fighting. He
stopped to look on, and recognized one
of the men as friend, John Mullaney.
He interfered and tried to stop the
row.
The circus man, it is alleged. grabbed
a hammer and struck Leech blow
upon the head, knocking him down. The
stranger then ran away. Leech re-
tgained his senses in few minutes and
an ambulance was called to dress what
appeared to be only a slight cut on his
head. Surgeon Spence said the wound
amounted to nothing.
Leech went to work week ago to-day
and was all right until Friday, when
he was taken with pains in the head.
He was unable to continue at his work,
and went home. DR.. .Rendell. of 645
Bedford avenue, was called in to attend
him, and he found that Leech was suff-
er1ng from concussion of the brain.
Last night his condition became so
serious that the police were notified
Detectives Kelly and Murphy are in
