Rev. Robert 8. Macarthur. the we'll
known Baptist clergyman. has had an
interest in a drug store and soda-water
counter at Seventh avenue and Fifty
seventh street for the past few months.

ordered the supplies of Willich Co. last

became involved In financial troubles.
Among his creditors was Rev. DR.. Mac

WILDE'S TRIAL RESUMED.


the aueensberry Case.
LONDON. April N.-The trial of
Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor, charged
with serious misdemeanors. was re-
sumed at the Old Bailey Court to-day.
with a large attendance.
The witne sses examined all testified
during the trial Of the Marquis of
Queensberry.
A youth named Alfred Wood was ex-
amined, and was then cross-examined
by Sir Edward Clarke, Q. c., counsel
for Wilde. but his evidence was not
shaken.
Frederick Atkins. another youth. de-
scribed as a variety singer. gave evil
dence as to knowing Alfred Taylor
and others mentioned during the trial.
This witness was also questioned
with the view OF showing that he re-
ceived $500 from a foreign count. whose
yacht was lying at Scarborough. but
the witness denied having received the
money.
After Atkins had repeated his pre-
vious testimony concerning his inti-
macy with Wilde. and how he accom-
panied him to Paris as his secretary,
Sir Edward Clarke severely cross-ex-
amined him. endeavoring to show that
Atkins was a professional blackmailer.
and that he had blackmailed gentlemen
at Nice. Paris and various other places
Sir Edward asked:
Ibid you. two years ago, extort a
large sum OF money from two Americans
who were staying at the Hotel Victo-
ria?"
Atkins, In reply. said ne had not black
mailed the two Americans whose names,
1t should be added. did not transpire.
When Edward Shelly, the former en-
ployee Of the publishers Matthews h
Lane. was testifying and was asked to
tell the jury what had occurred In Oscar
Wilde's rooms, the witness pathetically
appealed to counsel to read 1t from his
previous deposition and thus spare him
the shame of repeating It.
Counsel, however, made Shelly repeat
his story.
The trial was finally adjourned until
Monday.

C0NFERRING WITH STRONG.
An Effort to Prevent the Airing Of
Mattresses ON Fire-Escap pes.

There was notable gathering OF the
official heads OF several city depart
ments In the Mayors office this fore
noon.
President Martin. of the Police Board; !;
Supt. Byrnes, Fire Commissioner La
Grange. Superintendent of Buildings
Constable, and Fire Chief Bonner all
arrived at the City Hall about 1890
o'clock, and were ushered into the May
or.s presence with much formality.
The report spread that something big
was about to take place.
1t was learned, however, that the rea-
son for the gathering was that Commits
sioner La Grange had discovered that
the people who dwell In tenements were
In the habit OF summing their mattresses
and bedding on the fire-escapes.
This practice, Gen. La Grange thinks.
Is one which should be at once done
away with. The placing of bedding on
the fire-escapes and consequent obstruc-
ton of the means of egress from build
ings in case of fire Is. he thinks, a men
ace to life. and he asked the Mayor to
call a conference of the proper officials
to discuss the matter.
After the conference, President Martin
said that the several departments would
cooperate In bringing about a reform In
the matter of fire-escape obstruction.

know of the transfer.

hands Of the lawyers, who learned tina t
DR.. Macarthur was really the owner OF
the store. A collector was sent to him,
and, 1t is said, he referred the collector
to his lawyer.

more effective way Of proceeding would
be to have a summons served on DR..

served DR.. Macarthur said he was very
