Flames Were Consuming His and Beginning to Attack the Occupant. £\>d HE AWOKE JUST IN TIME. [P.Y TEt.Kt.RATH TO THE IIERALD.l WHITEST-ONE. J a n S, IK)?.—William Kinney, fifty-three years old, was in a perilous posi- tion between two and three o'clock this morning. Ho was sleeping in the saloon building belonging to Timothy McCarthy, which was destroyed by fire at that time, and narrowly escaped being burned to death. He did not awake until the hair was burned from the top of his head. The building has bedrooms on the second floor. Until a year ago the house was occu- pied only hy the family of the owner. After a severe illness several months ago McCar- thy's wife became Insane and was committed to an asylum. Her two small children were | later placed in an institution. McCarthy and Kinney retired as usual last night, the former occupying a room on the first floor, while the latter slept up stairs. The fire was first discovered by McCarthy, who was awakened by the smoke, which was choking him. SHOUTED To KINNEY. He shouted to Kinney to .get out of the house as soon as possible, and thinking that Kinney had answered him and was obeying, McCarthy hastened to give the alarm. He ran five blocks in his bare feet, but be- fore he reached the tire bell tower the blaze from the building had lighted up the whole village. After ringing the fire bell McCarthy returned to the burning house, and was soon followed by the fire companies. When McCarthy returned to his house he found Ktnney sitting on the ground in the yard, with his back resting against a tree. The oli man was nearly exhausted and could scarcely speak. He was clad only In his night clothes, which were burned full of holes. His hands and head were blistered by the fire. He told McCarthy that he had not heard the warning and did not awaken until he felt the sting of the flames, which leaped from his bed clothes, singing off his hair. When he jumped out of bed, he said, his chances for escape seemed hopeless. KINNKV's I'RKDIt AMKNT. Kinney thought at firt't that escape by way of the stairs was cut off by the flames. The hallway on both sides was ablaze. In a frantic effort he managed to reach the stairs and make a hasty descent through the smoke He fell from weakness when he reached the door, but the cold air revived him for a moment and he crawled to the spot where .McCarthy found him. Some of the firemen took the old man to a hotel, where he soon recovered from the effects of his experience. The flames- g a l m d headway so rapidly that the fire companies were unahle to save the building. The nearest building to the fire was the large dancing pavilion in Knab's Park. It was with difficulty that this huilding was saved. The loss on McCarthy's building is about twenty-five hundred dollars. The in- surance amounts to $1,500. The fire is be- lieved to have s-tarted from a defective chim- ney flue Veteran Leader Did Not Approve of McCarren's Attack on Cantor. There will toe no opposition from Brooklyn Senators and Assemblymen to the renomina- tion of Mr. Hill far the United States Senate. Mr. Hill will not be elected, but he is a can- didate for the honor, such as it is, and for- mer Register McLaughlin, the democratic leader in Brooklyn, Is not disposed to Stand in his way. The only vote likely to be found in opposition to Mr. Hill is that of Senator McNulty. and even he may be brought | around to the compromise view before the | caucus is held. The recent exhibition of ill temper in which Senator McCarren indulged with Mr. Cantor, the Senate leader, as the vtatlm of his wrath, was not inspired by Mr. Mc- Laughlin, nor did he approve of It. The vet- eran politician's notion Is that all such ani- mosities should be fought out In caucus, and that public display of party acrimony Is to be deprecated. Mr. McCarren was told this on a recent visit to Willoughby street. TEACHERS MAY GO UNPAID. Civil Service Grip Is Being Tightened on All Branches of the City Government. At least six hundred teachers In the public schools of the city are affected by an opin- ion rendered by Corporation Counsel Burr yesterday, that those appointed since Jan- uary 1, LS95. c o m e u n d e r J u s t i c e K e o g h ' s de- cision, which prescribes that In all practi- cable cases competitive examinations should be held and none but those successful at such examinations should be appointed to office. The school teachers are examined, but the examination is qualifying and not competi- tive. In writing to Treasurer Taylor, who is also treasurer of the Board of Education, Mr. Burr says:— "In view of the doctrine established by Judge Keogh's decision, and in view of the claims made by some who advocate that doc- trine, that the employes of the educational department appointed since January 1. 1895, are not exempt from civil service regulations, if you pay salaries to such emoloyes before the question is judicially settled you may be held personally liable for such payments. The statute of 1884 makes every officer of a city whose duty It is to sign or countersign warrants on the treasurer or other disbursing officer of the city for the payment of salary to any person improperly appointed under the civil service law personally liable for such payments In an action brought by any taxpayer. This statute being a penal one, will doubtless be strictly construed, and It may be that the form of salary warrants used to pay teachers will not bring such payments within its terms. But, aside from any lia- bility arising under this statute, if the pay- ments may be adjudged improper ones a per- sonal liability would arise, and you must de- termine whether, in justice to yourself and your bondsmen, you shall assume the respon- sibilty." President Swanstrom, of the Board of Edu- cation, said that Mr. Taylor was at no per- sonal risk, a s t h e l_a.w directed him to pay warrants properly signed by the president *nd secretary of the Board of Education. Both of these officials stand ready to sign for the January salaries. It took two policemen and a butcher's boy twenty minutes yesterday to capture Rl- nardo Vlchard, an eleven-year-old Italian, who had snatched a chicken from in front of Henry Heymann's store, at the corner of Havemeyer and Grand streets, Williams- burg. This IB t h e ninth time that Vlchard has been arrested, and his conduct later in the Lee Avenue Police Court showed his con- tempt for the law. Vlchard rasa home at No. ffil N o r t h JsJtghth street, but spends most of his time wander- ing about the streets with a bag larger than himself. The boy Is exceedingly small for his age. *ut Is one of the most adept thieves that the police have ever had to contend with in the Eastern District. The police had been searching for Vlchard since Thursday morning. The young fellow with a companion entered a pie baking es- tablishment in Jackson street, near Union avenue, looking for plunder. Vlchard sneaked behind the counter and disappeared. A minute later a money drawer was opened and a roll of bills containing $300 was ab- stracted. The sight of so much money frightened both of the boys, and as the proprietor came from a back room they dropped it and ran. Both escaped. A LIVELY CHASE. The next heard of them was near Hey- mann's store, where they lounged for five minutes. At a favorable opportunity \ icluird snatched one chicken and his companion two. Peter Splalne, a clerk, saw the theft and be- gan a chase, and when the boys separated he continued after Vlchard. On the opposite slue of the street, about a block away, Policeman O'Conner was talking with another police- man when the boy and clerk passed. Both policemen recognized Vlchard and joined In the chase. The boy was artful, and kept them busy for several minutes by dodg- ing, but was finally caught. From the Bed- j ford avenue police station the boy was taken to the Lee Avenue Police Court. • "Where's the prisoner?" Justice Goettlng asked. "Here." an attendant answered. "Where?" sharply asked the Court again. "In front of you, sir," and the officer held the boy up. HIS IMPUDENCE. Then a table was brought forward and by standing on that Vlchard's head Just ap- peared above the railing. He looked defiant and thought the whole thing was a joke. "Did you steal that chicken?" the Justice asked, sternly. "Sure I did," was the response, 'but the other fellow got two. You'd ought to let me go." The boy was turned over to the care of the Society Tor the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, pending a disposition of his case. Justice Goetting said:— I would have pun- ished that boy before, but I don't know where to send him. There is no place in the city for such youthful offenders. Vlchard's method of stealing was well illus- trated one day last week. He was seen standing in front of a bicycle store with a large bag in his hands. When no one was passing the little fellow would work to untie the supply bag on a bicycle. The work was done with one hand concealed under the bag, while with the other he waved a flag. A crowd of a dosen ' watched the attempt for half an hour and exchanged wagers on the result. Before it was over the boy got the bag and escaped. SEAMAN'S SANITY IN DISPUTE. Differences of Opinion a s t o Whether the Farmer I s a Drunkard and Has Delusions. THE SEQUEL AFTER COURT. HIGH HATS AGAIN. Health Protective Association Protest Against Them at Their Month- ly Meeting. A renewed protest went up yesterday morn- ing from the members of the Health Protec- tive Association of Brooklyn against the high hat. Banished from the theatres, it bobs up more exasperatingly than ever in the churches, where its feather laden circumfer- ence effectively obscures the minister in his pulpit, and produces anything but a prayer- ful frame of mind In the unfortunate who Is trying to dodge it. Mrs Von Wagener stated that she had moved her pew three times the present win- ter in order to catch an occasional glimpse of her pastor, and other members related equally trying experiences. "I really don't see what we can do to pre- vent it," sighed Mrs. Scrimgeour, "except we convince these women "love should work no id to its neighbors." " ' Who is responsible for these high hats, anyhow?" questioned a voice from the rear. "Didn't St. Paul command women to cover their heads in church?" The ladies were rather nonplussed by this unexpected sally, tnd the high hat disappeared in the hearty »ugh which followed Mrs. Bowen's question. Mrs. Scrimgeour adding, as a final bit of consolation, that it had almost disappeared from the theatres. The question of garbage disposal came up Quite early in the meeting, and the relative merits of burning the garbage at home in the ltitchen range and letting the city dispose of nwere discussed with such heat and fervor that Mrs. Scrimgeour was obliged to dismiss •t with the comment that each one had her own plan of getting rid of garbage, and thought it better than anybody else's, conse- quently nothing more would be allowed on the subject. Mrs. Darlington, of the Chiro- Peen Municipal Committee, gave an account of their efforts to secure a playground for the poor children of the Eastern District, ending up with the'statement that the Park Com- missioner had informed them that the only Possible method of securing money for this Purpose would be an aot of the Legislature •uthorixing a sale of bonds by the Mayor. ONLY A JOKE ON HIM. George Taft Was Unduly Excited by a L e t t e r T h a t W a s N o t Written by Miss Temple. George Taft, of No. 141 Stagg street, Will- iamsburg, was made the victim of a practical Joke by some companions yesterday. A few weeks ago he met Miss Louisa Temple, eigh- teen years old, of Withers street, and talked freely with friends of his admiration for her. Taft is a clerk, and left his business hurriedly yesterday after receiving this letter through the mail:— 1>KAII OBOROE— 1 write you a few lines to let you know I am still lu the city, but my father has got me locked up In my room. They are bound to keep me away from yon, but they will find my dead Iwdy on the sidewalk If I do not see you Saturday night. Louim The proceedings of the Ewen Street Police Court were suspended until Taft could get Justice Lemon to read the letter. He was excited, and declared that something ought to be done at once. The Justice detailed one of the policemen attached to the court to In- vestigate the matter. Accompanied b> T Taft and several persons whose curiosity had been excited, the policeman rang the bell of Mr. Temple's house. To every one's surprise Miss Temple opened the door herself. She was annoyed at the letter, but. seeing how nervous Taft was, be- gan to laugh. "Some one," she said, "has been playing a practical joke. I never wrote the letter and never gave Mr. Taft any reason to believe that I encouraged his attentions." Then everybody noticed for the first time that the writing in the letter was that of a man Taft was disgusted and angry, and refuses to see any person in connection with the case. ANOTHER SCUTTLE THIEF. BOTH WANTED WARRANTS. C h a n g e d T h e i r M i n d s A f t e r B e i n g Lec- tured by Justice Lemon. Banto Venarl and Frank Carrio. the two h*lians who fought a bloodless duel with re- avers at Hamburg and Gates avenues on Thursday night, applied for warrants for ,. ac « other's arrest In the Gates Avenue Po- gt Coart yesterday. Justice Lemon called «wn men before him and lectured them J-nndly. Then he advised them to keep awav rrooi each other, and told Carrio to stop call- •» on Mrs. Venari. Carrio promised to do T>. and he and Venari then hurtled from the court room INSPECTORS DECLARED QUILTY. Thomas Quinn, of East New York avenue; John C North, of Clarkson street and Rogers *na n £ e ' an<i H^nrv Creamer, of I'tlca avenue Ju.,i n „ nHi "tree:, were declared guilty by <hv» IT 8f *«'r« y-s'-rday of Illegally prevent- *• Alexander Jvuijrht from voting at a re- Stole Clothing from a D e Kalb Avenue Dwelling.

The burglar adopted the methods of the thief who entered the residence of Mr. Armstead. in Greene avenue, on Wednsday night. Entrance was gained by forcing the cellar door of the vacant house at No. 1&3 De Kalb avenue, and then the burglar went to the roof and passed along to the roof of the house a t N o . 149, where he forced the scut- tle.

Seaman, sixty- four years old, a farmer of Roslyn, who is said to be worth $25,000, appeared before a commission in this village to-day to defend himself against accusations made by his family, who allege that he is a lunatic and an habitual drunkard and unable to care for his property. Seaman was sent to the Hudson River Asy- lum last April, where he remained only one week, when he was sent home. In an affi- davit Seaman alleges that the present action is Instigated by his wife and sons, who are anxious to get rid of him in order to obtain possession of his property. He declares he has been attacked and abused by different members of his family. In refuting a charge that he squandered $1,000 paid to him by his brother, Seaman says he used the money to help pay off a mortgage on his farm. Several prominent men of Queens county made affidavit that they considered Seaman sane and capable of managing his business. They also declared that It w a s only recently that he began to drink, and that he used liquor only moderately. Other witnesses however, testified that the man was an habitual drunkard, was insane and annoyed his family They also testified that he frequently became violent, that he thought his neighbors were infatuated with Mrs. Seaman, and that he was tinder the be- lief that his family was conspiring to have him sent to an asylum. The case will be con- tinued. DID NOT FIND THE MONEY. John Cowenhoven. Police and Civil Jus- tice of New Utrecht, and Cornelius Furgue- son, son of the late Supervisor of the same town, were charged yesterday, before Judge Smith, of the Supreme Court, with usury In having accepted a Bonus of $200 for discount- ing a $1,000 n o t e . After a trial, however, they were completely exonerated. The charge was made by Mrs. Annie Pfluger, of Bath Beach, In answer to Justice Cowenheven'e suit for the recovery of the money due on the note, together with $56.41 for interest and protest fee. John F. Good- ing and his wife, Georglana McK. Gooding, were named as codefendants. Mr. Gooding is at present an Inmate of the Buffalo Stat3 Insane Asylum. The note for $1,000 was made by Mrs. Annie Pfluger. She Is the wife of Frederick Pfluger and owns considerable real estate in Bath Beach. The Goodings last year were their neighbors. At that time Mr. Gooding was the superintendent of an insurance com- pany, and owned a very cosey home, richly furnished. 8ECURED A LOAN. He had saved some money, and resigned his position in order to go into business. He was not successful, however, and soon was forced to apply to the Pflugers for a con- siderable loan. Mrs. Pfluger advanced the money, taking as security a chattel mort- gage on the entire household goods of the Goo<3Ings, with the exception of a piano, some silverware and several other pieces. Within a short time, however, Gooding was again forced to apply for a loan. Mrs. Pfluger then gave him an accommodation note for $1,000. Gooding, it was testified yes- terday, tried to negotiate the note at several places, but failed. He then went to Cor- nelius Furgueson, who got the money for him from Justice Cowenhoven. The defendants declared that before the money was paid to Gooding he had to give a chattel mortgage for V* balance of his household •»*ods, and was also forced to pny $200 to have the note discounted, besides agreeing to pay six per cent interest. The npte was for six months. Shortly after Gooding had received the money on It he be- came insane. Then, it was stated yesterday by James C. Church, counsel for Justice Cowenhoven. Mrs. Pfluger foreclosed her chattel mortgage and forced Mrs. Gooding to leave her home. When the note became due it went to pro- test, and when suit was commenced for the money due on it Mrs. Pfluger put up the claim that the discount of $200 was usurious, and that hence the note Itself was void and uncollectable. NOTHING B I T A F E E . On the trial, however. Justice Cowenhoven testified that he had a d v a n c e d $1,000 on the note, which he had paid to Mr. Furgueson. Furgueson, in turn, swore that Instead of ex- a c t i n g $200 f r o m Gooding the man had of- fered him the money If he could procure the loan. Times were panicky then, he said, and it was only after some trouble that he suc- ceeded in getting the money from Justice Cowenhoven. Under those circumstances he thought he had a right to accept the $200 for his services. Hence he paid Gooding only $soo. On this testimony Judge Smith refused to allow the case to go to the jury at all, but gave judgment in favor of Justice Cowen- hoven for the full amount. SEQUEL,AFTER COIRT. This, however, did not end the trouble. There was a lot of acrimonious talk In the court room between James C. Church and George V. Brower, counsel for the defendant. Brower finally called Mr. Church a liar and the latter returned In kind. Then all the persons adjourned to the sidewalk in front of the Court House, where everybody called everybody else a liar. Before "blows were struck, however, the persons separated, Pfluger threatening to sue Mr. Church and Justice Cowenheven for slander, and offering to bet $1,000 that they could never collect one cent of the judg- ment they had just obtained. Little Charles Moras Injured While Playing Near His Home. Charles Moran, three years old* was struck and badly injured last evepfng by trolley car No. 95, of the Park avenue line, near his home. N o . 697 Park avenue, Will- iamsburg. The little fellow was playing en the sidewalk with some children, and ran Into the street to meet a friend that was crossing. The oar was in charge of William J. Cun- ningham, motorman. o f N o . 345 Water street. He managed to check the speed of the car BO that the fender only knocked the child down. At the Homoeopathic Hospital three •calp wounds were dressed on the little boy's The motorman was arrested, but released by Captain Easson, of the Vernon avenue station. 1 " +4 - A ON THE LOOKOUT ; FOR A CHAIRMAN. * .— Lots of Available Material from Which to Pick Oat the Re- publican Leader. — FIELD 18 NARROWED DOWN. ALTGELD TO SPEAK. H e W i l l Tell Brooklynites What "Real Independence" I s o n July 4. President McKechnle, of the Democratic League, in welcoming a number of members to a celebration of Jackson's Day In the club- rooms, in Pierrepont street, last evening, biade the announcement that former Gov- ernor John P. Altgeld, of Illinois, would ad- dress them on July 4. Mr, Altgeld's remarks, the president explained, would be in the na- ture of a revelation as to what "real Inde- pendence" is. Judge Gay nor will talk to the members of the league on Lincoln's birthday, and on Jefferson's there will be a big banquet. The orator last evening was Andrew Mc- Lean, and his discourse on Jackson was an admirable presentation of what that great democrat taught and practiced. CALLS THEM GAMBLERS. Captain O'Reilly Threatons to Have Some o f H i s M e n Indicted if They D o N o t Stop. Hay Be Nason or De Fere or Uan- buiT, and Again, It Hay Be Forrester. WILLIS IS AMICABLE NOW. ! When the police of the Adams street police station lined up for roll call and instructions at six o'clock the other evening, Captain Miles O'Reilly furnished them with a little surprise which was decidedly unexpected, to say the least. Captain O'Reilly, after a few Instructions to the men, declared that the at- taches of his precinct must stop gambling or there would be trouble. The Captain stated that for pome time sev- eral of the officers attached to the precinct had been visiting places where pool rooms are suspected of being in existence, and he proposed to put a stop to It Immediately. "A member of the police force," declared Captain O'Reilly, "has no more right to gamble when he Is off duty than when on •duty. The members of the police force are paid to suppress gambling, and yet there are men in this very precinct who not only fail to suppress it, but actually Indulge In It themselves." Speaking directly to three of the police- men before him. Captain O'Reilly said:— "You three men must stop visiting the Wil- loughby street places, both of which I sus- pect to be pool rooms. If you do not, I will not only prefer charges against you before the Police Commissioner, but I will go before the Grand Jury and have you all Indicted as common gamblers. I mean every word I say, and I shall certainly adopt strenuous measures If necessary. It has been my aim to clear this precinct of gambling houses and pool rooms, but I can hardly hope for success If the police officers themselves act- ually patronize such places." It Is hardly probable. In view of Captain O'Reilly's reputation, that he will again have cause to complain. AFTER PENSION OFFICE PLUMS.

Thief Overlooked Cash i n a Garment He Had Stolen. James Sheppard pleaded guilty In the But- ler Street Police Court yesterday t% having stolen a coat and waistcoat belonging to James E. Murphy, engineer of the steamer Scandi- navian. The theft occurred last Wednes- day. In a pocket of the waistcoat w a s $10. Sheppard was surprised when he learned af- ter the arrest that there had been money in the garment. He declared he had not found it and did not know what had become of tne waistcoat and cash. "You must be more careful about these little things," remarked Justice Tighe to the prt«oner. "The thought of some other fellow having a good time on that money is not very pleas- ing to me." replied Sheppard. While Sheppard was standing in front of the court bench his wife entered and charged him with abandoning her and her two children. "This is piling it on with a vengeance," remarked Sheppard. He was Informed that he would be sentenced on Monday. FIRST DINNER DANCE. Burglars are reported to have paid two visits to the home of Simon LIUky, a whole- sale liquor dealer a t N o . 334 Grand street, Williamsburg^ within the last week, and stolen, aa he alleges, property valued at a b o u t $1,000. The flrst robbery occurred on the night before New Year's, and while the Bedford avenue station police were Investi- gating this the house la said to have been entered again on last Tuesday night. MANSFIELD'S SEASON CLOSES. Richard Mansfield's season at the Park Theatre ends to-night, when he produces "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." The performance Is among the strongest, most versatile and most artistic of Mr. Mansfield's series. In "King Richard III.," which was repeated last even- in*. Mr. Mansfield again scored a distinct triumph. Prospect Heights Assembly Gathers at the Farmhouse* a t t h e Park. The first dinner dance at the Prosnect Heights Assembly was given last nighl In the farmhouse In Prospect Park, under the most brilliant, auspices. Forty couples danced In the refectory, which was dec- orated with panels of palms and heavily fes- tooned with ropes of laurel and wild smilax. The reception rooms and hall were decorated In the same fashion. Five hundred electric The adjourned annual meeting of Plymouth Church, held last night in the lecture room, was attended by a majority of the members. Mrs. William V. Tupper presided, and inter- esting reports of the various departments of church work were given by Mrs. Horace Porter, Mrs. Lyman Abbot, Mrs. H. C. Fol- ger and Mr. Tupper. Mrs. Porter, In speak- ing of the Mayflower Mission, said that 663 members were enrolled In its Sunday school, and that no better evidence of the work of the Mayflower could be furnished than in the fine character it was developing. She spoke in conclusion of the inadequate accommoda- tions and said the work was much hindered in consequence. Mr. Tupper reported for the sister organi- zation, the Bethel, which he said had more than repaid to the city every dollar spent on it in its work of rescue and uplifting. "The Boys' Club" was the theme of Mr. Wil- liam Crittenden, who gave a five minutes' talk on its good influence In the life of the boy. "The underlying principle of club life Is sound, and the Bethel League as the boys' club Is called, has justified its own exist- ence.' He gave & short account of the club, whose members are drawn from the Sunday school and the Bethel society. He said the boys were honest and bright and ambitious in the best sense. He quoted from a recent address of Mr. Jacob Riis in reference to the need of boys' clubs, in which Mr. Riss said:—"The gregarious In- stinct in strong in boys. They only want a chance to fall in line and march." "The club which furnishes such a chance justifies its own existence," said Mr. Crittenden In con- cluding. Mrs. Lyman Abbott furnished an inter- esting report of the three kindergartens sup- ported by Plymouth Church, enrolling over a hundred pupils, and Mrs. Folger of the sewing schools. Dr. Rosslter W. Raymond spoke on "The Work of the Past," and Dr. Abbott on "The Work of the Future." A committee was appointed after the meeting to .make arrangements toward celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Plymouth Church, which occurs In June.

J., Jan. 7, 1S37.—The Grand Army men in this State are becoming warmly interested In a lively fight thai is going on to capture cither the National Pension Com- misslonership for New Jersey or to obtain the position of Deputy Commissioner for Colonel John Schoonover, of this city. Colonel James S. Kizer, Deputy Adjutant General of New Jersey, Is now an active candidate for appointment a.s United States Pension Commissioner. The office pays J5.000 a year. Colonel Kizer has been In the ad- jutant general's department since 1S67. In 1880 G o v e r n o r McCledan appointed him the State's agent to aid New Jersey veterans and their widows in obtaining pensions, and he has since devoted most of his time to the work. He is a republican, but has never been active in politics. Colonel John Schoonover is a candidate for appointment as Deputy United States Com- misslouer of Pensions. The position pays $3,600 a year, and always has been filled by a Grand Army man. Colonel Schoonover served more than four years In the rebellion. He was brevetted colonel for the capture by his regiment of the entrenched line of the enemy at Petersburg a few days before Rich- mond was taken. The effect of Colonel Schoonover's candi- dacy may be disastrous to Colonel Kizer's chances, although many influential men are working in his behalf. The belief is gen- eral in Grand Army circles that the com- missionership will go to a Western man. and that New Jersey will be allowed to name one of the deputies. MORE ARSON INDICTMENTS. Two Italians Charged with Setting Fire t o a Dwelling House. Salvatore Milazzo *and Antonio Pepitoni were arraigned yesterday before Judge Hurd, of the County Court,, on a joint indictment charging them with arson in the first decree. They pleaded not guilty and were released on $5,000 b a l l e a c h . The two defendants were indicted two years aso for the same crime, for arson in the third degree. They were out on bail nearly all the time. 'Several days ago,'how- ever. District Attorney Backus obtained an order permitting him to resubmit the case to the Grand Jury, with the result that an indictment for arson in the first d e g r e e was found against them. The defendants are charged with having s e t fire to the house N o . 240 Flushing avenue, belonging to James H. Watson, In the even- ing of December 21, 1894. T h e place was used as a storage house for fruits by a friend of the defendants, who, it is charged, carried a heavy insurance on little or no stock. The fire communicated to the adjoining house. No. 238 Flushing avenue, endangering the lives of Joseph Koechel, his wife and four children, who resided there. Judge Gaynor, of the Supreme Court, yes- terday decided that Jacob Klein, the alleged firebug, must be tried next week in the County Court or the indictment against him will be dismissed. HEALTH AND THE CHARTER. one of the oldest Knickerbocker families on Long Island. The present trouble began some time ago, at the Institution of divorce proceedings between Richard and his wife. In fact, there was an open breecn between them, when a month ago Richard was fined $10 in the Ewen Street Polios Court for as- saulting hli wife. Richard Abbe, when he applied for a war- rant yesterday, alleged that his brother had slandered him. He accused him of having used disrespectful language and of Having told improbable stories about him. At the station house Mark Abbe refused to discuss Commissioner Emery's Objections to Certain Provisions. Health Commissioner Emery said the other day that he was opposed to the chapter of the Greater New York draft of the charter re* lating to the Health Department. The Char- ter provides that a layman shall be Presi- dent of the Board of Health, whereas, in his opinion. Dr. Emory said, the President of the Board should be at least a sanitarian, If not a doctor. He also regarded with disfavor a four head commission, as he did not believe it would be an effective body. A deadlock might ensue, which T/ould be decidedly detrimental, he said, to the health of the city, where prompt and decisive action was called for. The Commissioner added that he could see no rea- son for placlfg aa part of that Board Police and Excise Commissioners. A single or an odd beaded commission would.be best; that Is to ssy. a board of three, instead of four members. But his preference was for a single headed commission. On general principles. Commissioner Emery said, a doctor should be at the bead of the Board of Health. County Clerk Worth and the men with whom he acts In the Republican County Committee have not picked out their candi- date for chairman of that body. Confer- ences are going on every day among the leaders, but they all agree in the announce- ment that no choice has been made. The se- lection is likely to be made from among the delegates to the committee who represent the Eighth. Tenth, Seventeenth, Nineteenth, Twenty-second and Twenty-fourth wards, and the successful man may be Henry A. Hanbury, George B. Forrester, George H. Nason, a delegate satisfactory to Lieutenant Governor Woodruff from the Twenty-second ward, a Worth man from among Register Barman's friends Jn the Twenty-fourth, of Mr. Worth himself. This latter contingency Is not unlikely. In all the conferences that went on yesterday It was agreed that the County Clerk could be elected without difficulty, but he dislikes the burden and will hardly accept. Sheriff Buttling would not indicate yester- day just how far advanced toward settle- ment the question of the chairmanship had pone^Mr. Hanbury was among the possl- biUStes, the Sheriff said, and Mr. Buttling had nothing but the kindliest to say about Mr. Forrester. BOOM FOB FORBESTEB 18 ON. Justice Brenner, the chairman of the Ex- ecutive Committee, is a resident of the Tenth ward, as is Mr. Forrester, but there Is little likelihood that this will affect the result, as Mr. Brenner will go on the Bench in May and probably retire from active politics. Mr. Forrester was Excise Commissioner in Mr. Schieren's time, and is a citiien of admirable public and private character. Mavor Wurster did not see his way ckar to reappoint him. and the municipal cabi- net, which was sensibly weakened by the retirement of City Works Commissioner White st the same time, was rendered still more so by the dropping out of the Excise i Commissioner. , . , There Is plenty of available material In the Seventeenth ward, but the Worth man who Is readiest in rulings and best equipped in a parliamentary sense for the chairman- ship from that section Is Coroner Nason. FIELD IB LARGS. The field is Just as large in the Twenty- second, where out of fourteen delegates the only adherent of Commissioner Willis is his deputy. Mr. Fielding. Paul E. De Fere, In the Twenty-fourth ward, was also among those named as within the class under con- sideration. As the HERALD announced yesterday, there will be a conference on Monday evening, at which it Is expected a harmony candidate will be agreed on. Commissioner Willis, the leader of the anti-Worth forces, shows a strong desire to reach an amicable adjust- ment in the present instance. In any event, the chairman must be a dele- gate to the committee. No substitutions cAn now be made, as the committee meets on Tuesdav, and to elect a substitute in any ward fo"rty-eight hours' notice must be given of the meeting of the Ward Committee. This has been held to exclude Sunday. SWINDLED BOARDING HOUSES. Oswald Fisher Is Sent to Jsil for Twen- ty-Nine Days. Oswald Fisher, twenty-five years old, & German with a new method for swindling boarding houses, came to grief yesterday and was sent to jail for twenty-nine days by Justice Goetting, of the Lee Avenue Police Court. Fisher was arrested on a technical charge of vagrancy upon the complaint of Mrs. Etta Hale, of No. 167 South Eighth street, Williamsburg. Fishers scheme was to give bogus orders bearing the forged name of C. 8warts, fore- man of the Prospect Knitting Works, in Ber- ry street, near South Eighth street. The orders were skilfully written, and from the police investigation it has been found that he swindled at least half a dozen people. He will be rearrested at the expiration of the present sentence and tried on the other charges. LOCAL NEW3 NOTES.

WHITEST-ONE. J a n S, IK)?.—William K i n n e y , fifty-three years old, w a s in a per i lous posi ­tion between t w o a n d t h r e e o 'c lock th i s morning. Ho w a s s l e e p i n g in the sa loon building be long ing to T i m o t h y M c C a r t h y , which was d e s t r o y e d by fire at t h a t t ime, and narrowly e scaped be ing burned to d e a t h . He did not a w a k e unt i l the ha ir w a s burned from the top of his head.

The building h a s b e d r o o m s on the s e c o n d floor. Until a y e a r a g o the h o u s e w a s o c c u ­pied only hy the f a m i l y of the o w n e r . A f t e r a severe i l lness s evera l m o n t h s a g o McCar­thy's wife became Insane and w a s c o m m i t t e d to an asy lum. Her t w o s m a l l ch i ldren w e r e | later placed in an ins t i tu t ion .

McCarthy and K i n n e y ret ired a s u s u a l l a s t night, the former o c c u p y i n g a room on the first floor, whi l e the la t t er s lept up s ta irs . The fire w a s first d i s c o v e r e d by McCarthy , who was a w a k e n e d by the s m o k e , w h i c h was choking him.

SHOUTED T o KINNEY. He shouted to K i n n e y to .get out of the

house as soon a s poss ib le , and t h i n k i n g t h a t Kinney had a n s w e r e d h im and w a s obey ing , McCarthy h a s t e n e d to g i v e the a l a r m .

He ran five b locks in his bare feet , but be­fore he reached the tire bell t o w e r the b laze from the bui ld ing had l ighted up the w h o l e village. A f t e r r ing ing the fire bell M c C a r t h y returned to the burning house , and w a s soon followed by the fire c o m p a n i e s .

When M c C a r t h y returned to his h o u s e he found K t n n e y s i t t ing on the ground in the yard, w i t h his back res t ing a g a i n s t a tree. The oli m a n w a s near ly e x h a u s t e d and could scarcely speak. He w a s clad on ly In h is night c lothes , wh ich were burned full of holes . His h a n d s and head were bl i s tered by the fire. He told McCarthy t h a t he had not heard the w a r n i n g and did not a w a k e n unt i l he felt the st ing of the f lames, w h i c h leaped from his bed c lo thes , s i n g i n g off his hair. W h e n he jumped out of bed, he sa id , h i s chances for escape s e e m e d hope le s s .

KINNKV's I'RKDIt AMKNT. Kinney thought at firt't that e s c a p e by

way of the s ta ir s w a s cut off by the f lames. The ha l lway on both s ides w a s ab laze . In a frantic effort he m a n a g e d to reach t h e s t a i r s and make a h a s t y d e s c e n t t h r o u g h the smoke He fell from w e a k n e s s w h e n he reached the door, but the cold a ir rev ived him for a m o m e n t and he c r a w l e d to the spot where .McCarthy found him.

Some of the firemen took the old m a n to a hotel, where he soon recovered from the effects of his exper ience . T h e flames- g a l m d headway so rapidly that the fire c o m p a n i e s were unahle to s a v e the bui lding.

The nearest bui lding to the fire w a s the large dancing pavi l ion in K n a b ' s Park. It was with difficulty that t h i s hu i ld ing w a s saved. The loss on M c C a r t h y ' s bu i ld ing is about twenty- f ive hundred dol lars . T h e in­surance a m o u n t s to $1,500. T h e fire is be­lieved to have s-tarted from a d e f e c t i v e ch im­ney flue
