Upon Chairman Hutchinson's state
ment that G. f. Sumner. attorney, desired
to appear before the board in the in

eing deposed anti-saloon councilman, S.

around then asked Mr.. Waters to step for.

made the order.
The time of hearing of the Graber-Water

 Washington, Feb. 15.-In response to MT. Hill's resolution seeking certain i information about the postoffices in New York Postmaster General Bissell sent to the senate the following
 The policy adopted by the present administration with reference to post masters in offices other than presi- dential offices who are appointed for no fixed term is and has been that they are allowed invariably to serve term of four years and none were removed prior to the expiration of the full term of four years, except for cause shown. The number of such postmasters in office March f. 1893, and who are still in office is 1,542; the num- Der permitted to serve out a full period of four years 1,096. There were 576 appointments to fill vacancies caused by resignation and 12O remov- als for cause, upon inspectors reports and charges.

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
COMMITTEE HELD
 AN BXBCUTITE SESSION.

No Business of Importance Transacted.
 Those Charges Against GilhuIy-AIder-
 man Benham Not Member of Committee
 Mayor Hendricks Mistake.
 The special Investigating committees of the court of common council appoint ed to investigate Councilman Frisbies charges against Police Commissioned Daniel S. Gllhuly held another execu- tive session last evening, at which May or Hendrick and Aldermen Macdonald. Connor, Skiff, and Leary were present.
 It was expected that at last nights meeting stenographer would be ap- pointed, and the dates fixed for the public hearings, but no such action was taken. In fact, at the conclusion of the meeting Alderman Leary stated that nothing had been done that could at present be given out for publication.
 The committee will hold another ex- ecutive session in the near future, at which time ex-Mayor Sargent and Pos lice Commissioners Prince and Doo1ittla and Corporation Counsel Ely win be in- vited to be present. At this time it is expected that the plan of conducting the investigatl tlon win be formulated and adopted, The public hearings will take place in the aldermanic chamber.
 The Investigating committee is com4 posed of four aldermen and Mayor Hendrick, making it non-partisan committee. At the meeting of the board of aldermen, when the charges were made Alderman Macdonald moved that committee to be composed of the mayor and two aldermen be appointed to investigate the charges. This mo- tion was amended by Alderman Reyes. who wanted the committee increased to five, and as Alderman Macdonald ac- cepted the amendment, it unanimously prevailed.
 Mayor Hendrick evidently understood the motion, and thought that the com- mittee was to consist of the mayor and five aldermen. Acting under this im- pression he appointed Alderman Mac- donald, Skiff, Connor Leary and Ben ham members of the committee. Sub- sequently, however, it was explained that the amendment of Alderman Reyes and passed by the board of aldermen only provided for the appointment of four aldermen on the committee, as the motion made was that the committee be composed of five members, one of whom was to be the mayor.
 Under these circumstances the mayor has excused Alderman Benham, who was the last man appointed on the com mittee, from serving, and the commit- tee which will hear and investigate the charge against the police commissioned will be composed of Mayor Hendrick, and Aldermen Macdonald, Skiff, Connor and Leary. At the next meeting of this committee Court Stenographer F. H. Coggswell will undoubtedly be appoint- ed stenc grapher for the investigation. The date of the public hearings have not yet been definitely decided upons but it is thought they will commences immediately after the first of March.

PBEsIDENr NORTON INDICTED.
Charged With Violating the Ten-Hour Law in Brooklyn-Legislative Hearing on the Strike

Charged With Violating the Ton Hour Law
 in Brooklyn-Legislative Hearing on the
 Strike.
 New York, Feb. 13.-The Kings county grand jury came into the court of ses- sions Brooklyn, at 10:30 o'clock this morning and presented indictments against Benjamin Norton, president of the Atlantic Avenue Railroad company, and the superintendent, Daniel Quinn, charging them with a violation of the ten-hour law.
 The indictments were found upon the testimony of James Dwyer and Jere- miah Desmond, both conductors, who allege that ten days prior to the be- ginning of the strike they had been obliged to work more than ten hourse within the twelve hours as specified by the law. Ex-Judge Morris was pres ent as the representative of the ac- cused, and stated to Judge Moore that his clients had been in court, but had left, as they had been informed that in a case of misdemeanor it was not neces- sary that they should be present.
 Judge Moore insisted that they should be, and adjourned the matter of fixing the bail until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, when counsel was notified to have both MT. Norton and Mrg Quinn in court. The offense with which they are charged is punishable with a fine of $500, one years imprisonment or both.
 The grand jury also found indict- ments against twenty-seven strikers and rioters for felony in riotous con- duct during the strike. The prisoners when arraigned pleaded not guilty, and were remanded for trial.
 The assembly committee appointed to investigate the cause of the strike began It's work to-day. The committee comprises Assemblymen Friday, Futile. Smith, Stanchford and Connolly The investigation is being held in the com mon council chamber in the city hall Master Workman Cq'nelly was first called His story was tnat practically which was rehearsed before the state board of mediation and arbitration nearly month ago. President Lewis of the Brooklyn Heights company President Norton of the Atlantic Ave nue company and Superintendent Heins of the Brooklyn City and Newton rail- road were also before the committee during the day.

CHICAGO GAS G0BBLED UP
THE STANDARD OLL COMPANY IS
 NOV IN CONTROL OF IT.

I
 Members of the Benedict Combination Re
 signed-The Policy of the New Boart Will be More Open Than the Old One
 Will Issue Regular Statements.
 Chicago, Feb. 15,-The representa- tives of the Standard oil interest to- day secured control of the Chicago Gas Light company, the first steT towards securing control of the com bined gas properties. Robert T. Lin coin, J. w. Doane, A. A, Sprague, E M. Phelps, N. B. Ream and George Henry Wheeler were elected directors the holdovers being E. J. Jersmanow- ski, c. K Wooster, F. A. Crane, w. J Campbell and J. R. Custer. The new board did not elect any officers, but il is understood MT. Lincoln will be made president.
 In order to elect the new directors it was necessary there should be sev- eral resignations Those who resigned were all members of the Billings-Jers- manowski- Benedict combination. It is said that the Consumers company will be the next to be turned over to Payne and his friends who would have gained the balance of power in all the com panies at the time set for the annual meetings had it not been for the in- junction proceedings.
 Whether the directors and officers are now in contempt IS a question that 1t will take a long legal argument to set tie. They feel sure that they are upon firm ground, but the attorney general will move to have them cited for con- tempt if after a careful examination of the question he feels warranted in so doing. This much he did not hesitate to say to-day. Counsel for the Gas trust claim that while the directors might possibly be in contempt had the same action been taken at an annual meeting it would not be contempt at called meeting. There is, they say, a big difference according to the laws of Illinois between the two kinds of meet ings.
 The Equitable and Peoples will be turned over in the order named. but President Billings will be retained at the head of the latter, it is said, because of his practical Knowledge of the busi- ness. It was given out this morning that President Jersmanowsld was i'll, and this, with the prevailing uncertain ty as to what the plans of the company were caused a sharp decline in the stock on change to-day
 One of the new directors to-day de- clared that the policy of the new board would be more open than that of the old one, and that regular statements would be issued so the public could see what they had right to know-how the affairs of the company stand.

DEATH FATE HEAYY.

The Cold Weather and Distress Still Con
 tinues.
 London, Feb. 15.-The coldenss of the weather continues to cause widespread suffering and many deaths The ther- mometer is 4 degrees below the freezing point to-day and the air is raw and pen etrating. In eighty inquests held in London the verdicts have been that death was accelerated by the cold. The immediate causes of death were given as bronchitis, pleurisy, syncope and other heart and lung ailments inciden- tai to the weather.
 The death rate has been especially heavy among the aged. The keen winds have increased distress in the dwellings of the poorest families. It is impossi- ble to keep the dwellings warm and all though no case of death by freezing has been reported, dozens of cases of pneu- monia in the underheated or fireless rooms are brought to notice daily.
 The ice-pack in the Thames still im- pedes navigation. Work in the build ing trade has been suspended and the contractors have dismissed their men for the present. The trades unions re- port that 36.OOO of their members in London are unable to get employment and must remain idle until the weather shall moderate. The majority of these men are carpenters, plasterers and stonemasons.
 In Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham and several other manufacturing and trading centers the unemployed are making street demonstrations In all these cities the soup kitchens are crowd ed from morning till night yet are una ble to satisfy the extraordinary de- mands upon them. Glasgow alone is feeding more than forty thousand per sons.
