Mr.. Moss Says the Judges Criticized
Him without Hearing.
New York, Sept. 16.-Contrasted with
the pyrotechnic display at Thursday S
session of the Mazet legislative inves-
tigating committee yesterdays pro-
ceedings were dull and uninteresting
in the extreme. The first portion OF
the days hearing was devoted to a con.
tinuation of the investigation of the
5000 900, 600 Ramapo Water company
and although some of the testimony
brought out was rather important, the
audience seemed to take little interest,
even when ex-Mayor Wurster, of
Brooklyn, was on the stand. His evil
dence was technical and not easily
comprehended by layman.
A dozen firemen who thronged the
rooms of the supreme court were called
to the stand for the purpose of demon
strating that intoxicatiOn prevailed in
the fire department, that the men were
compelled to contribute l per cent of
their salaries to the general welfare
of Tammany Hall and that other
abuses prevailed in this section of the
municipal government. Nothing SEN
sational, however, was elected.
AT Jne conclusion OF Jne nearing MT.
Moss gave out a statement in reply to
the typewriter document produced
Thursday by Richard Croker Mr..
Moss explained that he had not wit
messed the signature to the document
to which Mr.. Croker and Justice Van
Brunt had objected, but that he had
acted in good faith, and that the opin-
ion of the judges given out by Mr..
Croker was written without his being
accorded a hearing.

Political Firm Dissolved.

A county seat contemporary is
authority for the statement that the
political firm of Brumm, Whitehouse
& Co has been dissolved by mutual
consent, and that w. John White
house will continue the business at
the old stand. The cause Of this dis
solution is stated to be a dispute over
the spoils-who shall name the sue
eessor to Revenue Collector Harrison
Kear, who has decided to tender his
resignation because of i'll health. 1t
is a fat, juicy plum, and each mem
ber of the firm is naturally anxious
to appropriate it for the benefit of
one of his chosen followers.
There are number of applicants
seeking the position, but the one who
is urging his claims with the greatest
persistency is John F. Gressang, who
has held political Office since the mind
OF man knoweth not His ap-
pointment is urged by Whitehouse
and Losch, and is just as strongly
opposed by Brumm. What position
Postmaster Schrink, the silent
member Of this political firm, takes OF
this momentous question is not made
plain, but we infer that he il
"on the fence" Whitehouse made
the Hon. Gustavus a member o.
the Legislature, while Brumu
was the instrument through which
the ex.Legislator draws salary al
postmaster that someone else Of right
ought to. Thus we conclude, giving
our friend Schrink the benefit Of al
doubt, that he is neutral, occupying
the position Of the man between the
devil and the deep sea-
We are further informed that the
gentleman from Minersyille, wh'
once upon time walked the halls o
Congress, has a candidate Of his own
but so far has kept him in tne back
ground. He is supposed 70 hail from
st. Clair and bears the name of Cla.
w. Evans.
The dissolution OF this political i1rl
is given on authority Of a county sea
newspaper, but we have our doubt
about its truthfulness. These pa
triots are very "ehummy," and thei
mutual interests lie not in dissolution
The story, on its face, looks yer
