CHARGE GRAFT
AT CITY HALL

Sensational charges OF alleged city hall
graft are under investigation by the mas
ter plumbers OF this city.
To investigate a charge that Henry
Mertzner OF II North Davis street was
compelled TO pay $500 to secure a plumb
ing license. the Master Plumbers asso-
citation. last Thursday night appointed a
committee consisting of John ]. Stanley.
John f. keenan,, Edward Barry. John f.
Davey and William II. Gaughan.
Mr. Mertzner is said to be now out OF
the city; and every effort is being made
by the committee 10 reach him, as but
little can be done until he returns
At a meeting OF the committee yester-
day afternoon Inspector OF Plumbing
Reuben S. Bemls was instructed to send
a registered letter to Mr.. Mertzner re-
questing him TO return to the city.
1t is charged that Mortimer boasted to
several persons that he paid 800 for his
plumbing license saying that he did not
have to take the customary written ex-
animation, that he was examined by Mr.
Bemis and not by nor in the presence OF
any member OF the board OF examiners,
that he was asked only one simple ques-
tion and that the license was mailed to
him, on Dec. II.
The only question said TO have been
asked OF him was as 10 what a plumbing
chart on a wall in the office OF the in
spector OF plumbing represented, to which
he replied: "The layout OF the plumbing
system" This, 1t is said, was his only
examination.
Mr.. Mertzuer is said later to have boast.
ed how easy II was to get a plumbing
license provided the way was known.
He Is said then TO have put one OF his
hands in his pocket, taken II out again
closed as IL full of money and then put
II in another persons pocket as If to leave
the money there. This. II Is charged, he
meant as a demonstration OF bribing.
The matter was brought up at the
meeting OF the Master Plumbers associa-
tion last Thursday night, IL is said, by
Alderman John c. Dunn. a member OF
the board of examiners. which is supposed
10 examine all applicants for plumbers
licenses; and he demanded that some ac-
ton be taken.
Mr. Dunn stated that he sent In his
resignation to the board of examiners
about nine months ago. but II had not
accepted II, and that he had only been
connected with the board in name since
then. The committee to investigate the
charges was then appointed

TAKING CARGO
FROM STRANDED
sim. ONONOAGA

Chatham. Mass, Jan. H.-Nearly every
unemployed man in Chatham was en-
gagged today in unloading the freight
steamer Onondaga, which went ashore on
Orleans beach last Sunday morning. The
officials of the Clyde line. who are on the
scene have been forced TO the conclusion
that the steamer is 50 firmly embedded
in the sand that she cannot be pulled into
deep water until every pound of freight
is removed.
AT, low water early today gang planks
were run from the steamer to the beach
and the crew and natives worked so hard
In removing the cargo that the zero
weather caused but little Inconvenience
and in a few hours the beach was piled
high with freight.
Three tugs and the revsnue cutter
Gresham remain as near the steamer as
the shallow water will permit but IT is
not believed that any attempt will be
made today TO float the vessel. The work
of lightering the cargo cannot possibly be
completed before tomorrow or the next
day.
Despite the cold weather which pre-
vailed during the night the crew on board
the Onondaga did not suffer from the
cold. Fires are kept going under the boil
ers and the crew live as regularly and as
well ds though the steamer were steam
ing on her way TO Jacksonville.

are John Graham. Thomas r. Manney,
John c. Dunn and Reuben 8. Bemis, ex-
officio. II is under the direct control OF
Commissioner OF Public Works Walter Z.
sade, who appoints and removes exam
iners.
To whom the $500 was paid. II at all.
has not been given out; but the invesu-
eating committee will make a full report
after IL completes it's work.
Alderman Dunn, who is said 20 have
been instrumentai in having the com
mittee appointed, stated TO the represen.
tative of this paper today that he did
not believe the charges were true.
why. they are Ridiculous" he said II
am willing to place the highest confidence
in Mr.. Graham and Mr.. Manney, my fel.
low-members on the board. / believe they
are honest, and do not think they would
take money in such manner.
Again, ] say the charges are ridicu.
lous; and believe that the investlga tion
BIZ the committee. which / hope will be
very thorough, will fully vindicate them
Every effort has been made 10 keep the
matter quiet. especially from the news
papers
1t was said this morning that Mayor
=. j. Mccarthy had been informed Of the
charges, and that he intends 10 do a lit
tie investiga ting himself.
The office OF the inspector Of plumbing
was created on Aug. 4, 1893, and Reuben
S. Bemis has held II since then.
Inspector Bemis talked freely on the
matter this afternoon and explained his
position He said he would answer any
official charge made against him.
In reference TO Mr.. Merzner's examina-
ton Mr.. Bemis said he had given him
what he considered a fair examination:
and denied the charge that II consisted OF
but one question. AS Mr.. Merzner could
not write in English very well. he gave
him a verbal instead OF the customary
written examination. This he said was
approved by Commissioner Slade
Mr.. Bemis said that the examining
board was created at his request by for
mer Commissioner of Public Works
Smith. Previously Mr. Bems had ex
amined all applicants: and often those
who failed 10 pass made false charges
against him, he said.
In order that he might have witnesses
he asked Mr. Smith to have the board Of
examiners appointed.
Mr.. Smith decided TO have the Master
Plumbers association appoint the mem
bers subject TO his Approval; as il was
TO their interest that only qualified men
should be given licenses.
II was stated today at the home OF Mr.
Mariner that he would probably return
TO this city next Saturday.
An amusing phase OF the affair is found
In the assertion that one man said to Ds
at first very active in pushing the charges
is now said to be decidedly reluctant to
assume any share OF responsibility for the
situation that now exists.

Colt man. believe all the men on
Wetmore's SIDE are controlled by Bray
ton, just as all the men on our side are
out of Brayton's reach.
You may think II is curious, but II 10
true, nevertheless, that the men who are
supporting Col. Colt are the organization
men who have shown independence in the
general assembly Every man who was
here three years ago when new judges
were elected. and who voted for anti
Brayton candidates at that time, is against
Brayton's candidate today
THE men who have done most for
the Republican party on the floors OF
house and senate, and majority OF
the men who represent large con-
stituencies. are for Col Colt.
IF he is not elected II will be ssd
blow to the Republican party. In my
opinion The squabble. into which the
old boss has gotten IL, will hurt some
anyhow, but not nearly so badly if
Colt Is chosen as Il will IL Wetmore
wins which now seems next to i'm
possible"
One of the wetmore men secuted
the talk that Boss Brayton Is not
working for Colt, and pronounced it
absolutely ridiculous"
Why" said he, I'VE know that the
general has been dealing with the OPP
position for a long time: and we are
indignant at such treachery. We
know also some OF the things that are
being said about US and our honored
candidate; and. TO express IL mildly,
we are thinking a few things, even IL
we are not saying them.
'Tll give the Democrats credit, also,
for the fact that no unkind word or
unworthy act on their part toward US
or our candidate has come to our
knowledge"
The impression secured TO gain
ground today that a prolonged dead
lock is likely, but the Colt men pro-
fessed that the election OF their can
didate is already certain; and come
OF them said there would be big
break tomorrow or next Tuesday at
the latest.
Wetmore man said that Represen-
tative Laphams break from Colt to
Utter today was simply a clever ruse
to endeavor TO induce other Wetmors
men to do the same and thus 10 break
up the wetmore forces with a chance
that they might not again unite solid-
ly: but he said IL would not work at
all

FIRST SHOCK THE WORST.
dispatch from Holland Bay, dated
Jan IS. says that the first earth shock
at Kingston, which occurred at 1885
p. m. Jan. IA, did all the damage, the
subsequent and lesser shocks having
little effect. Fires spread in three di-
rections, famed by strong wind, and
the firemen were handicapped by sb-
sence of water.
The dispatch, after confirming the
reports that hundreds were killed,
burned to death or injured. says that
at least from 80 10 40 persons were
killed by the collapse OF the Myrtle
Bank hotel

the custom house in the west to Fleet
street on the east, containing all the
principal stores, banks and govern
ment offices, all of which were
wrecked. most OF them being levelled
TO the ground.

lence, except in the case OF a few
rumshops, which were invaded by re-
5roes.
