EVIL.

Armed with the authority from the
district court, yesterday morning Dep
uty Sheriff Marks swooped down on
the household effects and Office furri-
ture belonging to ex-State Senator Ed
ward H. Ozmun, now United States
! consul to Stuttgart, Germany, and
levied upon them IN satisfaction of a
judgment of long standing. This judg-
ment is for $9,269.60, and was entered
of record on May rs, 1896, in favor OF
George L. Farwell.
I Prior to his departure for Germany.
about three months ago, to assume
charge of his consulate post by the
grace of the present national admin
istration, Senator Ozmun stored his
household effects in the warehouse of
the James Lewis Storage company,
on Third street, and he turned his
! law library and Office furnishings over
to the keeping of William Ely Bram-
hail. who is located in the, New York
Life building. The deputy sheriff COLI
fiscated everything in sight at both
locations that was owned by Consul
Ozmun. Sheriff Wagener will remain
in possession of the goods and chattels
until they are legally advertised, and
then he viii sell them at public auction
TO satisfy the judgment.
The suit from which this sheriff s
| levy resulted was brought in the dis
trict court by Mr.. Farwell after a Sc
ries of financial dealings with Mr.. o.
mum, which dated from April 4, 1897.
The records in the clerks office show
that on this date the United States
consul borrowed from Mr.. FarweH ST.
600 on a promissory note, to run for
four months at 8 per cent interest. On
Nov. s, of that year, Mr.. Ozmun ex-
ecuted another note to Mr.. FarweIl
for $33333, payable in eight months,
I and then followed a series of other
! prOmissory notes after this fashion:
! On March 20, 1885, 1852 50; May II, 1885,
/ $3.50; March IS, 1889, $825.53; April 4,
! 1889 $949 SO; March 49, $780, $769.G7, the
/ last one being payable on demand.
| The complaint in the suit shows that
none of these notes, nor the interest
accruing therefrom, were ever paid,
| and judgment was asked for the total
amount, with interest, which included
that on the $4,000 from the date it was
made and the principal and interest
on another loan of 5000, made prior
! to the first loan on a prOmissory note.
Defendant went into court with an
answer in which he denied the allie
cations of plaintiff on every count.
The suit was up for hearing before
Judge Brill. and on Sept. 49, 1896, he
refused plaintiffs motion for an order

Col WelZ, of the Ryan, seen yester-

with this requirement and had passed

not end the trouble, as German had
been informed that he would have to
be granted license by the board of
water commissioners and would have
to make application and file a bond in
the sum of $1,000, and only after the
application and bond had been ap-
proved could he engage in the work of
