sETTLED WITH FORGED NOTES.
How Henry Cox Tried to Escape q
Charge of EmbeZZlement.

Henry Cox, of No. 270 Hutton street,
was arraigned before Justice Potts this
morning to answer a charge of forgery
preferred against him by Captain George
w. Church, of No rs Bathgate place,
Newark, who is a dealer in oils, metals
and tools at No. 100 Fulton street, New
York Three years ago Cox was Church s
confidential clerk and bookkeeper. In
glancing over the accounts one day
Church discovered that the books had
been tampered with and that Cox was
short about $500.
Captain Church was friend of Cox's
family and not wishing to prosecute him
accepted in settlement of the deficiency
balance. One of the notes Carl gave
him was for $3.50, and purported to have
been signed by c. II. Johnson. and Erie
Railroad official, and Daniel Steele, de-
furniture business. When the note fell
due Captain Church looked for Cox, but
was unable to find him. He then looked
to the indorsers and was surprised when
forgeries.
A search was made for Cox but he had
fed to Europe.
He returned a short time ago, and as
caused a warrant to be issued for his ar
rest.
Cox remained from his home until last
ives tves McNay " and se Pearson who who had frss been
shadowing him, nabbed him before he
left the house. Justice Potts committed
him this morning.
Chief Murphy received information at
noon that Carl was wanted by the New
York authorities It is alleged that while
in the employ of Mrs. Collins, an interior
decorator of Fourteenth street, that
city, he appropriated about 81, 900 of her

LAFAYETTE SUICIDE EPIDEMIC.
Childs Crazed With HIorphine shoots
himself.

Charles ]. Childs, 70 years old, of No.
65 Lafayette street. committed suicide
last night by shooting himself in the
head. The weapon used was 32-calibre
revolver.
Childs was born in Richmond in 1892,
and when quite young moved to Ohio.
Here he followed the trade of painter
until the breaking out of the war, when
he enlisted and went to the front. His
gallantry and bravery won for him dis
tinction and at the close of the war he
held a commission as Captain. He came
north and continued at his trade as
painter. Some time ago Childs came to
Lafayette.
The family maintain a, strict silence in
regard to the Suicide but It was learned
that Childs was a morphine iend He
did not take the drug in large quanti-
ties but was at all times more or less
under its influence. This and depressions
in business are said to have caused the
act
Last night the family were preparing
for their evening meal and Childs was
seated in his armchair in the parlor. Of
a sudden a sharp report, followed by a
dull thud, such as would be caused by
the falling of a heavy body, startled the
family. Rushing into the parlor they
found Childs lying on the floor, blood
flowing from his right ear. He was
dead. A revolver, one chamber of which
was empty, lay upon the floor.
Patrolman Glack of the Communipaw
avenue station house was passing the
house at the time, and hearing the shot
entered. He found Childs lying on the
floor and summoned DR.. Hardenberg, who
pronounced the man dead. The bullet
entered the right ear and from the pow
der burns about the ear it would seem
hot dc hald thn Ia Of
volver in his ear when the shot was
fired

Proposal to Use the Old City
Hall While the School
Is Rebuilding.

4 There was to have been a meeting of
the Board of Finance last night but
President Brautigam was the only mem.
Der who put in an appearance. Commis-
sioner Bailey is making tour of the con-
tfnent, Commissioner Kellers is in the
South seeking better. health, Commis-
sioner Detwiller is in Bethlehem, Pa, and
Commissioner Simpson is away down in
Greenville, N. j.
Director Stowe Of the Board of Educa-
tion and Superintendent Snyder visited
the Board and had there be en- a quorum
they would have made request. Public
School No. !, in York street, has, it will
be remembered, been condemned and is to
be torn down. Plans for new building
are being drawn and specifications pre-
pared. 1t is hoped by the Street and
Water Commissioners to have everything
in readiness to have work begun in April
School No. at present accommodates
eleven hundred pupils and the tearing
down of the building leaves them without
accommodations, All the schools down
town are crowded and the Directors of
Education have hit upon plan of con-
verting the old City Hall into a tempo
rary school house. The Finance Commits
sioners have no control over the build
ing and the School Directors have con-
sequently decided to appeal to the City
Hall Commissioners. The old Hall, the
Directors say. can be fitted up tempo
rarily at a trifiing cost and made to ac-
commodate as many if not more children
than have attended Schol No. l. The Di-
rectors are to consult with the City Hall
Commissioners Saturday morning.
The only difficulty in converting the hall
into school house is that the Directors
may want 1t for a year or more. The
City Hall Commissioners want to get the

issued in anticipation of receiving money

than It was, six years ago. When We
wanted increased dock space we were
obliged to do as you told US to excavate
back of the pier line. Why shouldn't
New York do the same?
i insist then that unless this Board
was mistaken as to facts SIX years ago
1t cannot today consistently grant this
application
Mr. Record proceeded to pay little
attention to an argument made by Mr..
Erastus Wiman. The Staten Island mag
nate said that the additional piers would
enable barges and lighters to discharge
their cargoes of food products in the city
Now does anybody seriously believe
that these barges and lighters would get
near these big piers?
Finally, Mr.. Record, after an able, for
chile and luminous argument urged the
Board to treat New Jersey with fairness
and not give New York any advantage.
Hoboken was just as much a part of
New Yorks harbor business as was
Brooklyn.
Corporation Counsel Minturn said that
the Mayor, Council and people of Hobo
ken felt that the plan of the Dock De-
partment was simply to take away Ho-
boken's trade with the steamers. He also
made strong plea and the New York
people took anotherS inning which lasted
until recess.

SIX MONTHS FOR A BRUTE.
Political Pull Did Not Save Dooiey-
Sentence, on a Boy.

Richard Doley, who was convicted OF
assault and battery on Richard Brown,
a colored man, was sorely disappointed
yesterday afternoon when Judge Hud-
speth sentenced him to six months in the
penitentiary. Dooley had expected to es-
cape with a fine and powerful influence
had been brought to bear on the Court
to accomplish that result, but it was no
avail, except to make the term of inn
prisonment shorter than it might other
wise have been. Brown was struck on
the nose with a bottle and one of his ears
was nearly kicked off.
''Dooley," said Judge Hudspeth, when
the prisoner was arraigned at the bar
for sentence, you committed this as
sault on Brown under the most aggravated
circumstances. If it was not your first
offence would not have hesitated to
send you to State Prison for a long term.
The Court has heard that rumors have
been circulated that you had political
pull, that you had powerful influence be-
hind you and would not be convicted.
Rumor also said that if you were con-
victed you would get off with a light SEN
tence. The Court desires to say that
these rumors, whether true or false, do
not affect the judgment in your case, be-
cause you cannot be held responsible for
them. The Court desires to say at the
same time that no pull, no influence, will
affect its judgment in the case of any
person who is convicted of crime"
Dooleys jaw fell when the sentence of
six months in the penitentiary and thence
until the costs of court are paid was
pronounced.
boy who pleaded guilty of stealing brass
valves from the Standard Oil Company s
works in Bayonne, was called up.
Boys like YOU said Judge Hudspeth
"are a source of great trouble to this
court You are brought here for stealing
and admit your guilt. If the Court sends
you to prison it is severely criticized. The
Court will not send any boy to the Re-
form School for first offence. I will
not send you to the penitentiary, and
there is nothing left for me to do but
send you to the County Jail. That will
provoke criticism, suppose, but will
send you there for thirty days. under
stand the warden has arrangements there
for keeping boys apart from the other
prisoners as much as possible.
Sentence was suspended in the case of
Matthew McAvoy, who pleaded guilty of
malicious mischief in breaking glass. The
Court had been informed that .McAyoy
had paid for the glass and when he pays
the costs of court he will be free.
Daniel Lawlor, who was convicted of
robbing a drunken man Of his watch
while pretending to assist him to his
home, was sent to the Penitentiary for
six months
John Waters, the agent of the Citizens
Mutual Life Insurance Company, who
was convicted of embezzling $5.41, was
let off with suspension of sentence and
the F'reeholders directed to pay costs
Waters is not satisfied and will make an
other application for a new trial.

Mcintosh of John Knox Presbyterian, and

Perhaps Seat In the House Of Come
mons.

The present position of this question, in
the United Kingdom, may be described as
that ofsa deadlock, and the prospect of
any change in the existing situation can
not be regarded as other than exceeding
ly remote.
We seem, indeed, to be SO far from any
practical solution, that it may appear
foolish even to hazard a conjecture as to
the future prospects of the question.
There are, nevertheless, strange turns in
the affairs of men. and should popular
sentiment -irritated by the ludicrous an
omalies of our franchise-rdeelare itself,
tisansat some, not very distant date, in
favor of manhood sufferage \ it may be
that the partisans Of wofnafl's suffrage
would find themselves. in an unexpected
way the masters of the situation Those
who are at present divided by the details
of the measure which they have at heart
would coalesce in the common cause and
would probably find themselves powerful
enough to bar the passage Of any bill in,
favor of manhood suffrage. except on
their own terms. Those terms would be-
of course, dictated by the progressive
and democratic body which. calls itself
"The Franchise League. We might in
short suddenly find ourselyes-whefher
