Among this class the symptoms OF
female diseases are early manifest by
weak and aching backs, pain in the

LEADERS, IN A PANIC.
Requests to See O'Bien Not from
lHauOr, HOpcrer.

Tammany district leaders We're in a state Of
mind yerging on nervous panic yesterday when
the word went around that Mayor Mcclellan had
sent word to some of them to call on Fire Com
missioner O'Brien to discuss district matters
Thomas F. McAYoy, leader of the 23d. and
Eugene J. Mcclure, leader Of the 34th, received
letters, and they Immediately consulted Charles
+, Murphy and left the letters with him. Mr..
Murphy sent Tax Commissioner O'Donnel to see
the Mayor about the letters and the Mayor dis
claimed all knowledge Of them.
An investigation showed that letters were
written on the Mayors private stationery, but
had been sent out signed by ", A. Hawley. who
yesterday was appointed secretary to O'Brien,
asking the recipients to call Commissioner
OBren to discuss important matters.
There are some nervous district leaders in
Tammany Hall these days, and the Hawley let
tiers made things worse than ever All sorts Of
surmises that Commissioner O'Brien was Nc
Clelan.s choice for leader of Tammany Hall in
place of Charles +. Murphy were INDUCED in.
When the Mayor was asked about the letters
he said:
4 don't know a thing about these letters
Commissioner ODonneI was here to-day asking
me about them. have sent for the letters and
/ expect to have them here tomorrow.
How does it happen that Mr.. Hawley had
access 70 your private stationery the Mayor
was asked.
4 don't know Mr. Hawley-in fact 1 never
heard of him till to-day, said the Mayor.
At the time the Mayor said this Mr., Hawley
was in the Office of William A. Willis, the
Mayors assistant secretary. When he was asked
by Tribune reporter how it happened that he
had sent the letters to two district leaders, he
looked embarrassed, and said:
Il don't know thing about any letters This
is the first have heard of any such thing"
THE Mayor knows about them, and has sent
for Them it suggested.
Wait a minute" said Mr.. Hawley darting
back into Mr.. Williss office In five minutes he
returned and said:
Come outside and I'll tell you about those
letters" BY the time Mr.. Hawley had seated
himself the settee outside the Mayors office
his mind very clear. This is what he said:
TT this way. Commissioner OBrien
day or two ago wanted TO communicate with
Mr. McAvoy and Mr.. MCGUIRE, and couldn't
reach them on the telephone. He asked me to
get Them I tried to get them the wire, and
could not Then 1 wrote two notes on the Office
stationery It was just ordinary request for
the gentlemen TO call on the Commissioner.
That all"
Mr.. Hawley is a recent arrival from Buffalo.
His appointment to a position with a salary Of
$4,000 on the staff of Commissioner O'Brien is
exasperating to Murphy and his men. They say
that Hawley did not come to town till last Sat
urday night. Charles F. Murphy is said to be
practising the song, Put Ne on at Buffalo"

HITS HEALTH BOARD.
Recorder Says Requirements of Lac
Are Neglected an Department.

Recorder Gon in the Court of General Sessions
yesterday severely criticised the Health Depart
Inent for it's system in keeping buildings in clean
condition. The criticism came in directing jury 10
acquit Jacob Schinberg of No. 2I6 Hart-st Brook
lyn clothing manufacturer at No. 324 Canal-st
Schinberg had been indicted for violation OF sec
lions of the Sanitary Code which relate to the
cleanliness of buildings. 1t charged that he
had not cleaned rooms used by him and that rub
bish and filth were allowed to gather TO such an
extent as to be dangerous and detrimental to
health.
The defence had proved that the defendant had
nos bee2 officially Informed by the Board of Health
that he was violating the law, Because OF the fail
of the department TO inform Schinberg. Re-
corder Golf held that he could not be legally con-
victed, and therefore directed the jury TO acquit
The Recorder said to the jury:
