NEGRO BOY STOLE
4 RED HOT STOVE
And Plead Guilty in Criminal
Court.
CARRIED FROM A CHURCH
Damage Suit for $4,000 Against Ten
nessee Coal & Iron Company on
Account of Death in Mine
Explosion.

Henry Field, a little plckaninny,"
pleaded guilty to stealing a ''red hot
stove, in the criminal court yesterday, and
was remanded for sentence.
While the trial of the case was obviated
by the plea of guilty, the states case was
based substantially upon the following
statement of facts:
"Some months ago the little negro went
to a negro church In Second avenue be-
tween Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh
streets and told an old negro woman who
was cleaning up the building that he had
been sent for the stove.
When she opened the building she started
a fire and the aforesaid stove was putting
away when Henry arrived. Believing that
the boy was telling the truth, the old wo-
man made no objection and he at once pro-
ceeded to take down the pipe and load>the
stove on a small wagon which he had
brought for the purpose. This was done
by means of papers used to protect his
hands from the heat. After loading tho
stove on his wagon the little rascal went
out to give 1t time to cool off and the old
woman became suspicious and made in
quiries which resulted in the discovery that
no such orders had been issued.
An officer was promptly summoned, and
Henry was placed under arrest when he re-
turned to the churh. He at once confessed
to the officer and stated that he intended
breaking the stove up, and to sell it for
junk.
Frimus Uranium, charged with assault
with intent to murder, also entered a plea
of guilty and was remanded.
Another Damage Suit
Minerva Cuerton and Haywood Duck, as
administrators of the estate of Robert
Cureton. deceased, have filed suit in the city
court for $4,000 against the Tennessee
Coal, Iron and Railroad company.
The complaint alleges that while em-
ployed in the mines near Blocton, Cuerton
was killed by an explosion of gas, which
had been negligently allowed to accumu-
late.
In the case of Jane Evans VS.. the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad company
which had been on trial before Judge Cole
man for several days, the jury returned
verdict for plaintiff for $500. The action was
for damages for personal injuries alleged
to have been sustained in the McAdory
switch wreck on the Birmingham Mineral
railroad.
The case of Mrs. Ada Edwards VS.. the
Birmingham Railroad and Electric COM
pany was taken up and is on trial.
City Court
* In the first Lewiston of the city court the
case of the Elyton Land company VS.. Ada
Powell, resulted In verdict for defendant.
The case of Stephens vs.. Moore was
next taken up and is on trial.

Freedman company the fourth, being ex-
ceeded by the City Trust Safe Deposit and
Surety company.
This list referred to all the contract bonds
now In force. From January to December
81, 1893 that is, the first year of Mr.. Col
ier's off1ce-holding, the PQatt company
headed the list for bonds accepted during
that period, and the friedman company was
again fourth. From the LIST of January,
1899, to May 49, last, the Freedman COM
pany headed the list with 81, $40, 204, as COM
pared with $9SS, 52S in the Platt company.
Mr.. Moss said that the significant fea-
ture of the report was the constant ratio
of increase of the Freedman company. The
list of the bonds filed in the comptroller s
ONCE by city employees and heads of de-
partments gave the Freedman company w.
4O5 600, as compared with $4,000 in the Plat
company
No other company with the exception of
the Freedman company has more bonds
than the Platt company.
Deputy Chamberlain John H. Campbell
testified that he had never used the infiu-
ence of his official position to secure Gus
toners for Mr.. Freedman's bonding.
Convincing Testimony
Mr.. Moss then read the following letter,
written on official paper of the city cham
berlain as follows:
"December-7. 1898.
ITO Whom It May Concern:

of Mr. Keenan,, did your"

do you not know that bonding business
was secured from banks on the strength
of that letter."
at don't know that" said the witness.
He said he might have heard that Mr..
Croker was interested in the Freedman
company Mr.. Campbell said he had been
city chamberlain for ten year. No one had
spoken to him about being returned by the
present administration.
Police Commissioner Abel was the first
witness called to the stand at the after
noon sess' on. He testified that he was a
republican, that he went into the ponce
board, first, to perform his duty, and sec
ondly. to protect the republicans on the
force.
Mr.. Moss kept asking Mr.. Abel if he was
satisfied with Devery as chief of police, In
view of the testimony which had been ad-
duced by the committee. Mr.. Abel said he
was satisfied with Devery until he was
sure he had been derelict in his duty He
had his doubts about it, and wanted more
confederation of testimony before he came
to a decision.
The commissioner said his vote to make
Devery permanent chief was not Influenced

HESS SAID CAPTAINS LIED

New York, May 1S.-The Mazet investi-
eating committee spent the greater part
of the day in an attempt to show the re-
spective bonding interests of city employees
held by the so-called Freedman and the
so-called Plat surety company. Counsel
Moss, for the committee, after an elabor-
ate investigation into this matter, said that
the Significance of what had been shown
was the growth of the Freedman company,
the youngest of all the bonding companies,
during the past year or two in the binding
of city officials. The committee Will meet
tomorrow morning and at the close Of the
session will adjourn until May 81.
Police Commissioner Jacob Hess was in
the witness chair again today when the
assembly committee empowered to inves-
tigate the departments of the city govern
ment, met. Mr.. Hess said 1t was the duty
of the chief of police to secure such evil
dence against pool room keepers as was
brought out in yesterdays examination OF
Agent Wood The facts that the captains
unanimously reported precincts free of
crime and vice. had caused some suspicion
in his mind that the captains were Lying
in their reports"
Mr.. Moss said: what do you conceive
to be your duty with regard to chief and
other subordinate officials of the depart
ments."
Mr.. Hess answered: ITO Immediately
start an investigation"
Could Not be Suppressed Entirely
We did not believe that gambling could
be suppressed entirely, but thought 1t
could be reduced to minimum Mr. Moss
brought out the fact that when Chief
Devery was on the stand before the COM
mittee about a month ago, a list OF pool

O'Keefe came up, and Mr.. Moss sprung a
genuine sensation by asking if the police
board had ever investigated his death.
Mr.. Abel said he thought OKeefe died
from accident.
Don't you know" said Mr.. Moss, THAT
at this day the neighborhood is full of ru-
NOR that has never been properly investi-
gated by the police department that Cap
tain O'Keefe was killed because he had
knowledge of guilty plot to remove an
other man from this life, and that 1t was
not safe to let him live?''
Mr.. Abel had never heard of it.
Mr.. Moss referred to McGuirke's place
on the Bowery, sometimes called the sui
eide Dive" because so many young girls
killed themselves there. Mr. Abel said il
was shut up now. Mr. Moss minated thai
1t was still running in another guse. Mr.
Abel said they were trying to suppress
places now running where he alleged there
was every Indictment for even boys and
girls to commit immoralites.
Sheriff Dunn was called and testified that
he employed Peter f. Meyer e. Co., the
firm In which Richard Croker is a part
ner, to conduct all auction sales of sreal
estate which came into his office. He de-
MED that he had been approached II and
asked to give the sales to Mr. Meyer
The sheriff submitted list of the bonds
put In by himself and subordinates, aggre-
eating about 100000, all of them In Mr.
Freedman's company.
The committee then adjourned until 10 80
tomorrow morning..

THRILLING IN CHARACTER
Was the Trouble of the Wilmington in
Brazil.

Washington May 1S.-The difficulty which
arose at Manaos, Brazil last April, on the
occasion of the visit to that place of the
United States steamer Wilmington, which
was ON a voyage of exploration of the
Amazon, is reported to be trifiing in char
acter.
The facts are briefly stated in a report
to the navy department from Captain Todd
of the Wilmington, and are being further
inquired into. When it became known that
Captain Todd proposed going further up the
river than Manaos, the supposed head of
deep navigation, there was a decided re-
luctance on the part of Manaos officials
telling him to proceed. He went up the
river 1900 miles without securing the neces-
sary papers from the Brazilian government,
though these were received at Manaos be-
fore his return. During his absence and
also the absence of Mr.. Redman, the United
States consular agent at Manaos, some dis
orderly persons attacked the agency asswel
as the place of business of a firm that had
acted in securing pilots for the Whining
ton, but there was no substantial damage

SELLING AT $16.
Two Thousand Tons Bessemer Pig Iron
Brings that Price.

Pittsburg, May 1S.-Ten thousand tons of
Bessemer pig iron were sold in the Shen-
ango and Mahoning Valleys yesterday at
SIG per ton an advance of 81 over the price
fixed by the association last week which
was SIS.
A manufacturer said today that with the
burg it will begin to advance rapidly from
now on and that billets have been selling
freely at $21 with higher prices asked.
The new price on pig iron will establish
steel billets Nat $2S for the remainder of
the year and those firms that have covered
their supplies for the last half of the year
at SIS and $26 per ton are in luck.
The new price will practically put a stop
to all expectations of steel for the year.

rooms, most of which were testified to yes
terday, was placed in his hands.
Mr. Hess said their refusal had nothing
TO do with his responsibility. He supposed
they had heard from somewhere Then
he was bonded in the United States Guar
antee company, the Freedman Croker con-
Germ Mr.. Hess said he got reduction IN
bonding rate, because Mr.. Freedman was
an old friend.
Mr.. Hess testified that as treasurer of the
police board he had divided the deposit of
the pension fund, amounting to about
100000 between the Bowery National and
Garfield National banks. 1t formerly was
all in the Bowery conc ern. He gave sew
eral reasons for this change but finally
admitted that Commissioner Saxton might
have first suggested the change.
James P. Heating, commissioner of high
ways, was the next witness When asked
Il he had not contributed 4 per cent. of
his yearly salary, $1,000 to the political ex-
penses of his district, Mr.. Heating said he
could not tell whether he had contributed
as usual. but could not remember how
much. He did not know that 1t was gem
eral thing for city employees to contribute
per cent. of their salary to the democratic
party. Mr.. Heating had not spoken to Mr..
Croker about his appointment. His depart
ment had given all its auction sales to
Peter F. Meyer & Co. He knew that Mr..
Croker was a partner in that firm but did
not remember IL ne knew IL Wnen the sales
were awarded Mr.. Meyer was the only
auctioneer he knew.
Mr.. Heating said he was bonded in Mr..
Freedmans company as were all the en-
ployes In his department.
Controller Collier was called and testi-
fed that two or three weeks after his
nomination to the controllership he sub
scribed IS 900 to New York county and IS, 900
to the Kings county democratic organiza-
ton. He had also subscribed $1,000 or $1,000
in addition.
Patronage Went to Meyer
Mr.. Collier said he had followed the policy
of his republican predecessor and had given
the sales in his office to Peter>F. Meyef,
who has been auchoneer ofsthe comptrol-
lers office for a great many years. Only
by general report had he known that M.
Croker was partner of Meyer. A state
ment of the contractors under bonds to the
city showed that In the so-called Plat
company contractors were bonded to the
extent Of s6,4s6.422, and In the so-called
Freedman company to the extent of $2,-
