Rate,,ne Released and Rearrested.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Justice Dickey, in
the Supreme Court, Brooklyn, to-day signed
the papers admitting Edward ]. Radcliffe
the actor, to bail in $780, Radcliffe was re-
leased from the Tombs later in the day, but
was at once rearrested on warrant charg-
ing him with perjury. He was locked up
until tomorrow The perjury consists in
Radcliffe testifying during his recent trial
for wife beating, for which he got six
months in prison, that he had never been
married before.
Caroline Ravenhill, who claims to be the
wife of Actor Edward ]. Radcliffe, who
sailed for New York this week from London
in order to testify against the actor, is posi-
tive that the man who was sentenced to six
months in the penitentiary in New York for
beating his wife is the same man who mar
ried her in 1882 and who deserted her before
a year had passed. She claims to have
identified him fully by means of a newspa-
per picture. The charge of bigamy was
made against Radcliffe in order to prevent
his release from the Tombs after Justice
Dickey, in Brooklyn, had granted a stay
on the ground that improper questions had
been admitted at the wife-beating trial. 1t
was feared by the prosecution that after
the stay was granted Radcliffe would be
able to obtain bail. The newspaper picture
which is alluded TO in the London dispatch,
says a writer in the New York Telegraph,
was printed in the New York Journal and
was no more like Radcliffe than De Wolf
Hopper is like Marshall p. Wilder. 1t will
be most interesting to see if Mrs. Ravenhill
finds that ii is the same man. She claims to
be positive that the Edward J. Radcliffe who
married her while he was singing in a choir
in London is Edward J. Radcliffe whom the
matinee girls of New York used to admire.

AGAINST Mr.. WHlTSETT
n. MERTDIAN-ST. PEOPLE SECURE
PASSAGE OF THEIR ORDINANCE.
1t Goes Back Three Months In Order
to Cover This Particu-
lar Case.

AT the special meeting of the Council last
night the ordinance prohibiting any person
from establishing morgue or undertake
ing establishment in square of the city
where the majority of the buildings are
used for residence purposes without the
written consent of three-fourths of the
property owners was passed by a vote of
twelve to six. AS amended the ordinance
does not apply to undertaking establish
ments that have been in operation more
than three months. This amendment ex-
cepts three or four establishments against
which no opposition was raised at the time
they We're established. The avowed pur-
pose of the ordinance is to prevent Charles
II. Whitsett from operating an undertaking
establishment on Meridian street, between
Michigan and North streets. Those who
voted against the ordinance were Council
men Bowser McCHrew, Rauch, Scanlon,
Smith and Shaffer. In order to clnch the
ordinance Mr.. Higgins moved to reconsider
the vote by which it was passed. A motion
to table was passed by vote OF sixteen
to one Mr.. Smith alone voting against the
resolution to table. Mr.. Scanlon failed to
vote on this proposition. Messrs. Clark, Col
ter and Won Spreckelson were not present.

Vlding for the appointment of standing

Fight in n Courtroom.

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-Anxiety to hear the
closing proceedings in the trial of Adolph
L. Luetgert for the murder of his wife re-
suited in free fight in and around Judge
Gary's courtroom to-day, in which the two
bailiffs standing guard at the door were
badly mauled and several spectators vigor-
ously dubbed. A crowd of four or five
hundred including many woman, had gath
cred outside the courtroom. Suddenly a
rush was started for the doors, and though
the guards resisted vigorously, they were
swept aside and the crowd poured into the
courtroom, causing considerable excitement.
A detachment of police was sent on the dou-
bic quick to the court and after a hard
fight succeeded in clearing the room and
driving the crowd out into the street. The
rush, ii is said, was caused by a rumor that
Luetgert was TO go on the stand this aft
ernOon.
