Prior to this, George Esher was called
to the stand because the Commissioners
yesterday received an anonymous letter
accusing Stutler OF having wrongfully
received stock in Esher's company,

Esher IS deaf and seemed 20 have great
difficulty IN understanding the Commis-

know whether SrutIer owned stock IN
the company for which Esher is an
agent The letter had said Esher had
declared Stutler owned the stock.
Did you ever say Mr. Stutler had
been fixed by being presented with
stock in your organization" shouted
Mr.. Macfarland.
Il never did. said Esher.
There was a larger attendance at the
hearing than ever before. II IS rumO-sd
that Robinson expects 10 make q better

Both Stutler and Robinson are conf

BLAZE AT BROOKLYN PIERS.
One Man Killed and Another Serioualv
Hurt in Big Fire-Loss Es-
timated at 100000.

New York, Oct. 29.-One man was
burned to death and another seriously
injured in the fire at the Bush terminal
company, South Brooklyn, early Friday.
The dead man is Patrolman Patrick
Gushing, and Fireman John B. Walsh is
in a hospital suffering from scalp
wounds, conclusion of the brain and
contusions of the body. The fire was dis
covered on the lighter Victor lying at
Pier No. Z, foot of Forty-f street.
The vessel was laden with cotton. Be-
fore the engines arrived the flames had
spread to the pier, which was loaded with
cotton, and it was entirely destroyed by
fire. The pier was 700 feet in length,
and was one of the largest in this vicin-
ty. The flames soon reached the light
ers Bend. Iowa, and another known as
No. 2O6, all laden with cotton, and then
jumped to Pier No. 6, at the foot of For
ty-slxth street, and set fire to the Italian
steamer Citta di Palermo, which was
damaged to the extent of $30,0O0 She
is owned by George w. Becker & Co.
A number Of steamships and smaller
craft were taken out into the stream and
escaped the flames Fire Commissioner
Doyle says the loss will not exceed $780,
900.
1t was at first reported that several
steamships belonging to the American
& Hawaiian Steamship company we're
burned, but the steamers belonging to
that company were towed out into the
river in safety. The Arizonan, which
burns oil for fuel, had a quantity of
naphtha aboard, and it was feared at one
time that her cargo would explode but
the vessel was saved.
