NEW YORK, May 29, 1S97-John Maddi-

Porchester Village. So far no arrests

When the village awolSe this morning to
learn that "Ballyhooly," as Madigan was
known, was dead the news was scarcely
believed. And when it was whispered that
the good-natui.ed butt of village witticism
had been murdered the excitement and
astonishment became intense.
There was no reference in the bare
show that John Maddigan had been
known and laughed at for years by al
most every man, woman and child in
Portchester village. There was also no
entry to show who had SO quickly ended
the laughing life of this local character
All the police know so far is that he
was found uneonscious, with a big cash
in his thigh. He was taken to the hos

NJ DERMO1F ON TIE Vets
He Writes an Exhaustive
Opinion on Their Rights
and Wrongs.

Allan L. McDermott has sent to the
street and Water Commissioners, at the
request of President Boltwood, long
opinion, in which he defines the rights
and duties Of the Board in dealing with
veterans in the employ of the department
over which they preside.
Mr.. McDermott's opinion is an exhaus-
tive one. In it he cites all the laws on the
statute books pertaining to veterans. He
also quotes decisions rendered under the
several acts.
The Veteran act of 1897, Mr.. McDermott
says, is clearly unconstitutional and he
advises the Board to pay absolutely no
attention to it. This act is more sweep
ing than all the rest
touching on another point which par
ticularly concerns G. Frank Sutherland
the veteran whose office as assistant clerk
to the Assessment Commission was abol-
ished, Mr. McDermott says that the Board
has an undoubted right to abolish an
office not statutory and where the Office
is unnecessary.
Mr.. McDermott also writes that such
veterans as were honorably discharged
for faithful and brave service should take
steps to prevent such legislation as has
been procured in recent years.
Relative to those veterans who were
dismissed and who held such positions as
laborers, helpers and SO on, Mr.. McDer-
mott says they may be dismissed at any
time without trial, because their offices
are not offices in the eyes of the law.
In cases of clerks, engineers or officers
whose duties are above those of laborers
the Board cannot dismiss veterans unless
OTTER trial
Under the opinion the eight veterans
dismissed, who are not laborers and
mechanics, will stand dismissed. They
will have to bring suit for reinstate-
ment.
1t is probable that the Commissioners
at their meeting on Tuesday will rescind
the resolution adopted a few days ago
deputizing the chairmen of the Several
committees to reinstate such veterans as
were dismissed.
1t is not thought probable that any of
the dismissed veteran Iaborers will bring
suit for retention in the city's employ.
