' It camo out yesterday that the man who wassnarrlod last Sunday In the Little ChurchAround tho Cornor to a waitress, and who gavebit namo as William O. Rhynlandcr, li Wil-
liam Cooeland Rhlnolander, grandson of tholato William O. Rhlnolander, and oldest son otWilliam Rhlnelander, head of the family thatbaa been prominent in Now York for nearly acsntury. Before her marriage the brlds wuJallctto Kathleen Maler. She lived with herWidowed mother at 232 East Twenty-firs- t streetand was employed in a restaurant on East
, Twenty-thir- d streot.Juliette's husband, although not so well
known socially bb othor members of his family,has been hoard of before and lost Sunday wasnot the first time that ho went through tho try-in- s
ordeal ot a marrlago ceremony. He achievedbis first distinction when ho was astudont at Co-
lumbia College, more than twenty years ago. liewas a member ot tho class ot 187(1 and was re-
garded as ono Its brightest men, although some-what indolent. A fow days beforo a competi.
' tiro examination for a prize in German in thosophomore yoar Rhlnelander surprised soma otI bis classmates by announcing that he guessedhe'd tako tho examination. Thoy laughed atblm and told him to guess again. Whon tho
)day came young Rhlnelander was on hand, andI when tho award was mado William Copeland
Rhlnelander rocclved the prize.' Tho next thing ho did to distinguish himself
was to get married. That was In 1870. MissMaggio McQinnls was hlsbrlde. She was a house-maid in bis father's family. Tho only person oftho bridegroom's station in life who was at thowedding was F. K. Curtis. After the marrlagoRhlnelander left his father's houso, and fromthat day to this his family has hadnothing to do with htm, except to prorldo himwith a liberal allowance. It has been statedthat this allowanco was $100 a week. It hasalso been stated that It was to continue as longasYork.
Rhlnolander mado his homo outside of New
However that may be, immediately after hisfirst rdftrlago Rhlnelander took his bride toCanada, whero they remained for some time.Two children wore born to tbem. Thon, owingto Mrs. Rhlnclandcr's ill health, they returnedto this city and went to Uto In a boarding honsoat 213 Schermcrborn street, Brooklyn. It
Ijj' was whllo living at this address that$ Rhlnolander, on tho afternoon of June 10, 1884,3 , called at tbe office of John Drake, his father'sS lawyer, of 70 Cedar streot, this city. The two
men wero closeted together for somo time. NoX one lu tho offlce heard loud talking ori othor unusual sounds come from Mr.
Drako s ofllco until tho report ,of a pistol rang1 out. Two or throe of tho clerks ran into Mr.; Drake's ofllco, wbero they found the lawyer and
Rhlnelander In a hand-to-han- d struirele. Rhlnelandor was hold pinioned against the wall byMr. Drake, and in his right hand was asmoking revolver, which tUo lawyer was try-ing to tako away from him. After a
i; struggle, in which the lawyer was assistedi ' by most of bis offlce staff. Rhlnelander was dis--J armed. Then it was found that Mr, Drake had1 been wounded in the right arm near the shout- -
tf , der. lie was taken to Roosovelt Hospital, where& , be remained for some time. Be refused to make
. n complaint against his assailant, both for tne'M Lib sake of tbe tatter's family and becauso ho said41 ne believed the young man was crazy.
SB !, The news of the shooting reached the ears ofa . Inspector Byrnes the following day. lie in- -S9 V, quired Into tne case, and on the evening of Junom 2 20 sent Detectives Crowley and Htckeyto 243Si f Schermerhorn street, whither Rhlnelander badX- been taken immediately after the shooting byTf , his brother. T. J. Oakley Rhlnelander, toit arrest blm on a charge of assault. He was
" locked up for the night at Police Headquarters'"j and the following morning was arraigned beforer Justice Welde in tho old Tombs Court and held
for examination. After being locked up In theTombs, Rhlnelander gave out a statementIn which he said that Mr. Drako hadbeen trying to get Mrs. Rhlnolander to leavoMm ana had even gone to Canada to offer togive her a large amount of money If she woulddo no. Rhlnelander stated that he had forfeited1300,000 when bo married his wife, bad con-sented to tnke $100 a Week and live away fromNew York, and that be did not propose to Klvohis wife up. Ho said he bad shot Druko becnusotho lawyer had first aesaultod him and hothought his life was in danger.
, A commission was finally appointed toexamlno into tho question of Rhlnelander'ssanity. The commission consisted of Ed-ward Patterson, now one of the Justices oft"ie Anpellate Division of the Supreme Court:Dr. W. Detmold, and Patrick Nolan. Thetwo latter adjudged Rhlnelander Insane.
1 Mr. Patterson, In a dissenting opinion, claimedthat be was sane enough to stand trial. Them ittor came before Recorder Smyth ou a uio-- 1
.tton of tho District Attorney, concurrelIn by counsel for Rhnclandor's famil.to have tbe young man committedto an Insane asj lum. Rhlnclandcr's lawyer op-posed tbe motion, claiming that his client wasperfectly sano and desired to be tried. Tbe Re-corder denied tho motion. That was in October,1881. Tho case was never brought to trial, andabout two years ago, the District Attorneyagreeing, tbe indictment was dismissed.
Little was heard of Rhlnolander after theshooting until Dec. 0. 1880, when ho waa ar-rested on a New York-boun- train at Mata-wa-
N. J., on n charge of grand larceny, pre-ferred b Dr. Samuel Johnson of Asbury Park.Dr. Johnson bad attended Rhlnelander duringnn Illness at Asbury Park and renderod a billfor $200, Rhlnolander refused to pay, and thodoctor attached some of bis client's trunks, oilpaintings, and Rhlnelander paidno attention to tbe attachment, and shipped thethings In New York. His arrest followed. Howas Joe ked up in tho Monmouth county Jailat Freehold for some lime.
Another period of obscurity followed Rhine- -lander's experience with New Jersey law, andlittle was heard of him until flvo or six years! ago. when be appeared as a rosldent of Baratogaundor tho name of William Ralston. On ac-count of his pocullnr ways he was known abouttown as "Jack the Ripper."
About tho tlrst thing Rhlnelandor did aftergoing to Saratoga to live was to buy a farm andstock it with brood mares. He proclaimed hisintention of breeding only whlto horses. Hesaid that there was a great demandfor pure whlto horses, and that therewns money to bo made in raising them.This hobby soon made him known tohorse dealers from New York to Saratoga, bywhom ho was regarded as a harmless crank. Hefound that it wns easy enough to breed horses,but ns for breedlnir only while horses, that wasanother matter. Tho colts were of nearly allthe colon, of the rainbow except white. Finallythe stock farm was abandoned.
Itwlllboscm from this that Juliette Malerdid not marry a man without a history whensho married William U, Rhlnelander. Thocouplo will start upon their honeymoon
r this morning. 'I hey were going to Europe, Mrs. Malur said yesterday, butthat was nbandonel, because Mrs. Rhlne-lander docs not caro to cross tho ocean.Instead thoy will go to Albany, Iloston. andPhiladelphia, and probably make their futiiroborne in Saratogu. Hhlnclaiiilcr Is now about40 curs old. Ho ncara glasses und is nearly6 feet tall, very 1) in. amiIlls brown hair Is streaked with gray, ns are, also,bis thin, closely triuitiit.it bide whiskers and hismustaebo.

Since his marriage to Miss Maler, Khlnclanderhasbeuuanxloiuftokoop Ills identity from bo-ln-g

"That's what ho docrtii't want to hae put Intho paper," cxcl.iiined Mrs. Maler, his mother- -
"Ion can't II d out that."Mr. Rhliiulunder himself would not answer

bury says that tho evidence against Morson isconclusive, and that ho will certainly ho con-
victed.According to tho officers, 9153,000 worth of
Btamps wero stolen from various Post Officesduring 189G. Tho robberies began in the South lusecond, third und fourth class Post Offices. Thoofficers were hot on tho trail of tho gang when ofa sudden tho burglaries in tho South ooasod.Soveral Post Offices wero broken into in thoNorth, and then the gang began operating intho West, principally in Colorado, In one weekthe Post Offices nt Victor. Florence, CrippleCreek, and Manttou, Col., were robbed.
At the Cripple Creek ofllco tbo tbioves got$900 worth of Btamps and $2,100 In money, andthero Waterbury got a cluo to their identity,and shortly afterward nlno of them weroarrested and thrown into jail at Denver.Five were notorious characters. They aroFred Fergurson, Gcorgo II. Burton. W.S. Hostottcr. William Wcrth, and OscarDickens. Hostcttcr confessed that tho menwho did tho gang's work in the East weronamed Mnrson nnd Burkbardt, nnd that theylived In Brooklyn. After n month's workWaterbury got confessions from Dickens andFergurson, and tho result was tbo indictment ofMorsun and Burkbardt.
Waterbury trucod tbe SflOO worth of stampsstolen from Cripple Creek to New York withthe assistance of Wells. Forgo & Co , nnd herelearned that they had been sent to Burkbardtat Conoy Island by tho Long Island Express.Ho returned from Donvor and learned fromDickens thnt Hostcttcr had received atColorado City a check for $319 drawnon ths NaHH.vu National Bank of Brook-lyn by Morson. Dickens said It waspayment at regular "fonco" rates for $123worth of stamps. Tho check was dated the dayafter Burkbardt received the consignment ofstolen stamps. Lntcr Dickons regretted hav-ing given information, and howrolon lettortoMoreon, wurninghlm that tho detoctives wereafter him. t the letter special deliveryand Waterbury heard of It as soon as It wassent.
When tho letter reached Brooklyn, William J.Carroll. Superintendent of tha Coney IslandPost Office, took It lo Morson nnd asked htm Ifit was for him. Morson rend it nnd said that itwas. Wntorbury was notified nnd he came East.Yesterday no went to Coney iBlund and foundMorson In front of his bar. Inspectors Coleman,Dwyer and King stayed outaldo. whllo Water-bury ami Deputy Marshal Koch entered thohotel. Waterbury told Morson (hat ho hid awarrant for him for being in with Post Offirorobbers, and snld: "If you'ronll rlghlyoti won'tmind letting mi I see your bank book, will 5 out"
Morson said he didn't mind, nnd ho handedthe book to tho officer. Whilo Watoroury waslooking for the stub of the check sent to Hos-teller a boy grabbed tho book and started torun. Koch tripped him. Morson struck Kocb,but Watertiury whipped out his revolver andspeedily took tho fight out of tho hotel keeper.
Morson wns arraigned boforo United StatesCommissioner Oakuy In Brooklyn and was heldIn S 3.D00 bail for examination. Ball was fur-nished by P. J, Montague, a Courtstreet liquor dealor, who told a reporter thatMorson had been n customer of his for twelvoyears, nnd wns, bo for as he know, a rcputabloman. Morson was formerly in partnership withArthur Mulllns, n lightweight boxer, in a saloonin Fulton place, Brooklyn. It wns in his saloonthat 1)111 Poster Kenny hid his pistol after mur-dering a car driver about fifteen years ago.

JTO CVIUIEXOT ZEOISLATIOX.
A Xlepnbllran Leader Bays That the Fassagaera Dill la the Senate la Impassible.
WasniMiTOH, Deo. 8. Senators and Repre-sentatives are taking their time in coming toWashington before Congress convenes. Thosoin town who havo talkod with the Republicanloaders appear to bo confident that there willbo no currency legislation at this session. Onoof the foremost leaders expressed htmsolf veryfrankly on tho subjoct this ovonlng, but wouldnot allow his name to be tBcd. IIo said that itwas generally recognized that when a thingwas imposslblo, lime was lost In attempting it.With tho Senate constituted as it is, ho said,tho passago ot a currency revision bill alongBound financial linos was Imposslblo; tbercforoho did not see tho advisability of making the at-tempt, which would havo no further valuo thanto show what the Republicans would do If theycould.
When reminded that the Tariff bill was passedwith tho same Senate, he replied that tho forcewhich secured tho pasBago of that mcasuro wastho force ot clrcumtsanccs, and thoso circum-stances no longer existed. Thero was no partyIn control of Congress to agrco upon a currencyrevision measure and offer It as n definite partymeasure, which could, if approved by tbe coun-try at largo, be enacted Into law. Tho Houso,ho said, might Bteer a middle course by passinga compromise mcasuro, retiring the greenbacksby keoping thorn, basing the currency on assetssecured by United States notos. Rut the Sen-ate would perhaps discover that tho greenbackscould not bo rotfrei without retiring them andthat tho currency could not bo based upon assetswithout making assets tbo basis.
Another difficulty be remarked was tho lackot agreement in the country upon a measure ofcurrency revision. Ho challenged any ono tcdraw a bill and got six persons to sign it. EvenIn Now Englnnd n largo class opposed the re-tirement of the greenbacks, if the expressionsof a prominent paper were to be relied on. Hoquoted a prominent banker, a man who under-stood his business thoroughly, whom he hadasked to suggost what Congress should do'lutho way ot currency reform.
"Get rovenne," was this man's only plea."Get revenue" ho said, "und then ask us aboutcurrency reform."
Economy in appropriations will also be urgedby tbo leaders and every effort mado to applyit. Tho revenue Is not sufficient, and tho lead-ers know It. Thoy say it is due to an under-estimation of tho importations preceding thepassage of the Dlnglcy bill, but some of tbembellevo that by Maroh the revenue will be suf-ficient. But until a balance- on the right sidebegins to materialize tho effort will be to holdthe appropriations down.
MR. ajlIBCOM'S DAUOnXER BURKED.
The tittle Girl Cot at a Stove and Receivedfatal Injuries.
Joyce Olive Grlscom, the d daugh-ter of Mr. and Mrs. Clement A. Grlscom, Jr., wasfatally burn.ed at her parents' home, on White-stone avenuey Flushing, on Thursday morning.She died early yesterday morning. The childwas in br room with her nurse. About 10o'clock tho nurso went downstairs to speak'toMrs. Grlscom. When she left the room Joycewas soatcd at her toy piano, and seemed to bohappy and contented. Tbe nurso had been goneonly about two minutes when tho child's screamswero heard. Rushing to the room, Mrs. Grls-com and the nurso found the little girl's dress Inflames. Mrs. Grlscom seized a coat and wrappedit about her daughter. Tho Are was extln- -
but It sb too late. Dr. Hicks otf:ulsbcd.called, but about 11:30 o'clock in theevening tho child sank lntoantateof coma,from which she did not rally. Death camo at1:30 o'clock yesterdny morning.
Thero was a small coal stove in the room wherothe accident occurred. Tbe door was shut.Joyce bad never shown any disposition to med-dle with It, but she must have opened the doorand In some way her dress must have been
from, the stove. A hockey stick was foundIn tbo room later with ono end charred. It Ispossible that the child poked the flro with thehockey stick, causing tho stick to blaze up, andthat when the stick was pullod from the stoveher dress caught flro. Mr. Griscom is managerof tho American line of steamships.

Lakewood, N. J.. Dec. 3. Mayor-elec- t VanWyckhas returned to tho Lakewood Hotel, andthe situation here is more businesslike thnn ithas been. lie arrived at 0:10 o'clock this aftor-noo- n
on tho Lakewood Special, and halfa dozen men conspicuous in fTamnuiny Hallwero with him. Tbo Mayor-ele- Is In excellenthealth and spirits, and after dlnnor this eveningho talked with the roporters. When askod thocustomary question which ho has heard athousand and ono times since election as towhether thero was anything now, he replied:
" Well, yes, thero is something that might In-
terest you and some good Republicans. Justbefore leaving the city this afternoon 1 mailedmy resignation as Chief Justice of tire CityCourt to lho Secretary of State. It is to takoeffect at once, and I supposo that Gov. Blackwill or tho next day appoint somoono in my stoad."
"Was it essential that your resignationshould bo sent In at this time I" ho was askod.
"No," was tho reply. "Iccrtalnly could havoremained in tho office up till tho 1st of Jan-uar- r.
but I felt that with tho obligations whicht,lio duties of Mayor will rcqulro of mo I wouldnot havo time to attend to the judicial businesswhich would come beforo me botweon now nndJan. 1, and I want to enter the Alayor's officew 1th a clean desk before mo. I will stay hero afew days and then devote my entire tlmo topreparing far tho duties of Mayor."
Tho Mayor-elec- t was accompanied on tho trip.from Now York by John Whalen, formerly amember of the Tax Commission; Bernard F.Martin, Victor J. Dowllng, James W. Boylo,John M. Richie, William M. Scbwenkcr, Alder-man John T. Oakley (who Is also Councilman-elect- ),
all of whom are district leaders; Alder-man P. H, Kcahon, and John B. McDonald.
On the train which loft hore this afternoonwero President ot the Council RandolphGuggcnheimer and Isaao A. Hopper. The latterwill havo a place In the new administration.All the district loaders have thotr applicationsfor places with thorn, and VtiU discussthem with Mayor-elec- t Van Wyck andMessrs. Crokor and Carroll beforo thoyleavo. The reappearance ot Mr. Whalen hasadded to the speculation as to whothor he willbe made Corporation Counselor Prosident of thoTax Commission, It is understood that ho canhave tho latter place If ho will accept it. but hoand Vornon M. Davis aro still under considera-tion for Corporation Counsel. Victor J. Dow-lin-
tho Tammany leader ot the Twenty-fourt- h
district, is slated for a placo, and, it is bcllovod,wlllgctairoodonc.
James W. Boylo is on the slate for a Dockand Bernard F. Martin will got
places f r his men, as he is a Stato Senator andcomes under tho Constitutional prohibition,which also obtains in tbe cases of SenatorsThomas F. Grady and Timothy D. Sullivan, bothof whom will havo to wait another year beforetbey can bo appointed to any office undor thecity government.
The sun parlor ot the Lakowood Hotel thismorning resembled tbo lobby of a political con-vention hall. Seated In the rocking chairs weroSenator Timothy D. Sullivan, his cousin Flor-ence J. Sullivan, EuKene Wood of Albany,Martin Enarel, Dr. Michael B. Feeney, Presi-dent of the Metamora Club; the Tammanyorganization in J3enator Sulllvan'o district, andMessrs. Crokor and Carroll, with Dr. Jenkins,John B. Sexton, Philip J. Brltt, and half a dozenothers were chatting. Senator Sullivan had hislist of places all made out. Dr. Feenoy Is on hisslate and perhaps Florenco Sullivan Is also.John W. Keller also urrivod this afternoon, nndafter a talk with Messrs. Crokor and Carroll re-turned to New York.
Of the appointments which are regardedhere as most probable are those of JohnM. Rlehlo as under sheriff and Philip J.Brltt as counsel to tho Sheriff. Mr.Richie was tho manager of Sheriff-elec- tDunn's canipnlgn, and is one of his closestfriends, and Mr. Brltt is also a warm friend ofthe Sheriff-elec- t. Mr. Sexton docs not want togo back in tho Sheriff's office and is slated forsomething else, bo that thero is little room fordoubt that Mr. Riehle (pronounced Itellly by thoSheriff) will be under sheriff. He camo downhere w ith Mr. Dunn.
Mr. Crokor Is as silent as ever on tho questionot appointments, and is not talking much onany political subject Just now. He did take tbotrouola to deny u report which reachedhero from tho Stock Exchange to tho ef-
fect that bo had bad a conference to-day with Gcorgo Gould in regard to tho newCorporation Counsel taking measures to stop thofroposed system of rapid
Mr. Gould wns not here butMr. Crokor said he had not had aconference with him in regard to thisor any other business subjoct whilehere, Mr. Crokor addod that he was in favor ofrapid transit, providing a road could bo con-structed without tho city exceeding tho consti-tutional dobt limit.
Tho weather y was mlserablo nnd tbepoliticians stayed Indoors most of tho day. Mr.Carroll, who is an enthuslnstlo wheelman,hunted up a bicycle academy near the lake. Hetook a party of beginners down there, and willorganize n wheelman's club before ha leaves.Mr. Carroll met Senator Tim Sullivan on hisway to tbo blcyclo nca lemy nnd said:" Como down nnd rldo a wheel, Tim."
"No, I'll go down and ploy the wheal If youtin ma whero I can." retorted the big Senator.
DoLancoy Nlcoll, who arrived at the LaurelHotel called at the Lakewood this even-ing nnd had a talk with Mr. Crokcr. His ap-pearance gavo rlso to the assumption that howas being considered for Corporation Counsel,as his name has been mentioned boforo in con-nection with tbatofllco.
After his lonfcrcnco with Mr. Crokor Mr.Nil oil said that he was not a candidate for Cor-poration Counsel, and that all talk about hiscandidacy was absurd. It is understood thatAssistant Corporation Counsel Connolly, whohas been In tho ofllco for years and who Is aTammany man, is among the candidates for theplaco.
It is expected that there will bo a great gath-ering of politicians here over Sunday. Mr.Crokor has showed no sign of tiring ot Lako-wood, nnd will probably remain here for a weekor ten days longer, and perhaps may staythroughout the month.

Though it was so Blight fHas to bo almost imperceptible, tho Prosident '1felt a tlghtonlng ot his mother's hand about his lllown, and then he know that ho had beon recor- - sCInlzcd. But only those mute signs of recognl-- '',1'tion could bo obtained. Tho mother was too far riBgono for conversation.
