Victim OF 4 SPRAuGLBR
Mrs. Pauline Barnett Found in
Her Room Unconscious
Two Men Arrested.

NEW YORK, Nov. Il, 1S96.-The police
OF the East Fifth street station have been
endeavoring since Monday night last to
find out who assaulted Mrs. Pauline Bar
nett "A years old, of No II st. Marks
place, who was found unconscious by her
husband upon his return from the theatre.
Barnett reported to Acting Captain Her
lihy late on Monday night that upon his
return from the theatre where he
had been with his sister, he found his wife
lying on the couch unconscious, with
finger marks on her throat Her diamond
earrings, valued at $3.50, were gone, De-
teetives Bush, Heinritz, Foster and Larkin
were put on the case and learned from
the neighbors that two men had called
upon Mrs Barnett shortly after her hus-
band and sister-in-law left the house.
Barnett then remembered that his wife
had refused to accompany him TO the
theatre because she was going to receive
some friends that evening. In her raw
ings early Tuesday morning she frequent
ly moaned Don't hurt me, Schultz, I
love youY This she repeated at intervals
during the night.
With this as a clew the police arrested
1teA t9NtAuteAs ~ OlNi VI Nv. Coz 1@eA9l l
Twenty-sixth street, who admitted that
he had called upon Mrs. Barnett. When
asked who was with him he said Joseph
Gordon, aged 81, of No. 81 Chrystie street.
He refused to say anything more and
within an hour after his arrest he retract-
ed his statement.
He even denied that either Gordon or
himself had called upon Mrs Barnett
Acting Captain Herlihy, who brought
the prisoners to the Essex Market Police
Court this morning, said that from his in
vestigation in the neighborhood he was
convinced that Schultz made a practice
of visiting Mrs. Barnett during the abb
sence Of her husband
This much he learned from the other
tenants in the house. None of the people
living in the house occupied by the Bar
netts heard any unusual noise on Monday
night nor did they notice anything suSpi-
cious about Schultz, whom they recog-
nized as a frequent visitor, and a strange
man when they left the house shortly af-
ter ten o'clock.
Magistrate Wentworth, at the request
of Acting Captain Herlihy, ren1anded the
prisoners until tomorrow afternoon in the
hope that before that time Mrs. Barnett
will recover consciousness and be able to
throw some light upon the assault and
robbery.
The latest victim of strangers fingers
is said to be in very critical condition,
and the Coroner's office has been notified
to send a representative TO have the wo-
mans ante-mortem statement taken
should she recover consciousness at any
time

BAD FOR REFORM" IN BALTIMORE
Court OF Appeals Said to he Against
the Goo Goo NXayor.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 12, 1S96.-The Mary
land Court of Appeals is expected to hand
down decision in the Mayor Hooper
VS.. the CMy Council contest in day or
two. That it will be against the doughty
of an unfayorable decision will be to
strip Mayor Hooper of his authority to
make appointments and vest such power
in the City Council. It will also bring
about hundreds Of changes in the make
up of municipal offices
The fight between the Reform Repub-
lican, Mayor and the overwhelmingly Re
publican City Council has been on for a
year. 1t began with Mayor Hooper's first
appointments. A few independent Demo-
Gratis were recognized by Mr. Hooper to
show his appreciation of that element 5
support of himself at the polls The Re-
publicans had waited 80 years for the
good things and when Democratic rule
was at last overthrown they insisted on
having everything in SIGHT. The City
Council adopted resolutions taking the
appointive power from the Mayor and
vesting 1T in themselves.
The Mayor refused to swear in their
appointed officers, and there has been
a deadlock ever since which has made
it possible for most of the Democratic
ofdceholders to hold over. If, as expect
ed, the Court of Appeals affirms the de-
cision Of the lower court, thereby sus-
ed by the City Council divesting the
Mayor of his power to appoint the City
Collector and, incidentally other NUM-
cipal officers, some hundreds of Democrats
will be at once succeeded in Office by Re-
publdeans who are eager to draw the
emoiumentS of victory

day Of the Horse Show opened with the
usual light attendance although the first

best lot brought together in America. and
