and His Gold Watch.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 30.-E. Berry Wall
having tasted the bitter dregs of politics,
is now looking, for a new pastime. for a
gold watch and about 800 in money.
He wants the new paStime. because he
thinks politics is a failure. He wants the
gold watch and money because they be-
long to him and were stolen a the dinner
rendered to Senator-elect Thomas C. Platt
a few nights ago.
Mr.. Wall came here prepared to be one
of the jolliest of the boys who now run
the politics of the twenty-seventh assem-
bly, district. With him were DR.. f. Val
entine Buck and F. E. Tansey. They were
escorted by Lewis S. Grenner. who inter-
ested all these gentlemen in politics some
time ago, and is engaged in showing them
the ropes
Mr.. Wall does not know where he lost
his watch and money, but Detective Ger
echten; who was at the dinner, is posi-
tive that one of the guests at least is
pictured in former Superintendent Byrne' 3

NEWSBOYS IN TROUBLE.
Cry extras" at Night on Sensations
That Do Not Exist.

New York, Jan. Slowing to numerous
complaints made by citizens about the
sale of extra editions of the evening
newspapers issued late at night, Chief
Conlin has issued order that all news
boys selling extras after p m shall
be arrested. In Jefferson Market police
court today Magistrate Duel discharged
two boys who had been arrested under
this ruling. on the ground that the chief
of police has no authority to regulate the
sale of newspapers
1t is not the actual sale of the extras
that citizens object to. but the sensa tional
methods of the vendors, who rush through
the residence streets of the city late at
night heralding alleged disasters which
have no existence in fact, and create
unnecessary alarm and an artificial de-
mand for newspapers The practice IS
reprehensible from every standpoint. and
Chief Conlin has erred only in his manner
of proceeding against the offenders

George w. Johnson's Suit Against
DIR. Daniel III. williams.

novel damage suit was instituted in the
George w johnson, formerly clerk OF
Freedman's Hospital, who asks that DR.
Daniel II. Williams, surgeon-in-chief OF
the institution, he made to pay him $l0,-
600 for Diminishing him without cause, and
then while he was endeayoring to be re-
ins,ateG, circulating the report that he was
or unsound mind, corrupt and Incapable.
This alleged libel was contained in a
letter written on July 6, 1897, to Senator
Mcmillan, chairman of the committee for
investigating District charities, and, the
defendant alleges, was read and published
10 various citizens, 10 bis damage as. a
clerk and bookkeeper. Mr.. johnson, In
bis bill of complaint, gives the letter, in
which appear, among other things, the fol-
lowing statements:
'.Mr. Johnsons letter while ostensibly
an application for reinstatement, is In
fact, an i'll disguised attempt to cast re-
Elections uron Freedman's Hospital, and
to invite an investigation of the same. In
his letter he states that in his ca pacity as
clerk he was asked TO change the stats
tics i'm the annual report, because said sta
tistics did not represent the hospital in a
prosperous condition, and upon his refusal
to do so he was summarily dismissed
Every statement made in the letter, ex-
cept as TO his appointment as clerk, Is
false in fact and malicious in purpose"
Mr.. Williams then, IL L. charged, hints
that johnson was of unsouhd mind aud
most inc apable.
