" Our place is a family resort. Nothing wrongever went on there. The performers do notcome out at all. They havna rtxrm of their own.where they receive their friends, but never Inanything but street eostnnif.''
The next witness was Han Koppe, the Janitorof the double-diiCk- tenement lirni-- y at IMChryalle street, whlrh adjoin. Kuenstler Halle.Koppe testified to the respectability of the m.rert hall, and said he frequently took his wifethere In the evening.
Miss t.'ecllla Krumm. the daughter of the com-plainant, about IT yearsof age. was much fright-ened when put on the witness stand. Hhe knewlvy.she said, but hail neve'. l"ken to him.Hhe had seen htm In the dining room of herhome talking with her father, bntdld not knowwhat they had said, as she was almost Imme-diately ordered to leave the room ly her father,Tills was In March, she saM. Miss hrumm(minted to the defendant, and when he rose shesaid she thought that was the man.
"Ilut are you sure of Itr WWY you swear toIt " asked Lawyer I,evy.
" He looks very much like the. man I saw,"she said, " but I cannot swear to It."
Wilhelm Uonalm, an extra wnlter around theconcert hall, was called. Honalm testified tohaving seen Levy In the concert hall on March1. Levy and another man were there together,and they all went Up to the room of: the gallery.A llttla-whll- afterward Mr. Krumm called fora Isittle of Moselle wine and three cigars. A fewminutes later, Honalm said, he stood by the halldoor, which was partly closed, and heard Ievyand Mr. Krumm talking. He heart Levy say!" It's all right now. Oo right on and play." Thenext week the place opened, and It remainedopen until May 1.
Charles Schwenitkc. the "outside man." as hewas known In Chrystle street, was next called.
"You are what Is commonly known as abouncer, are you notr" asked Mr. Osborne."No." replied the witness, fiercely, "I am a
Schwencke'sald that on the night of March 8,the first night a concert was held without a li-
cense. Levy came to him and told him that hemust look sharp and be very careful whom helet Into the place. " ' He very careful,' he said,and don't let any one In unless you know him,' "
said Schwcncke.On the wttncia said that
he had been nicknamed Krenchy for years, but j
he hsd no Idea why he was so called. lawyerLevy questioned him about the ctwtumes wornIn tne place, and pressed him so closely thatJudge Martlue Interrupted, and ssld:
"Oh. what does It matter The testimonyshows that nothing worse than short skirts were '
won. Why, In some places ln this city, at theroof gardens, for Instance, some of the perform- -
ers wear almost nothing nowadays. 'Lawyer Levy let the subject of lostnmes alone
after this, and began to question the witnessabout the electric bell. He asked SchwcnckeIf It was not true that the bell was there to warnthose Inside when the police came.
" No, of course not." said the witness fiercely."We did not need to warn anybody of the ap-proach of the police, because we were runningall the time under police protection."
With the testimony of Hchwencke the prtwe- -rutlon rested. Lawyer Levy moved for the ills- - .
missal of the defendant. He read seventeenreasons why Levy should not be held, and main-tained that the defendant was not rhargablewith hrlbcry under chapter 72 of the PenalCode, under which' he was. Indicted, as thatuhacter referred only to State officers, butJudge Martlne denied tils motion.
lawyer Levy then sold that he had not de-
cided whether to go on with the defence or not.He did not consider that the prosecution hadmade out a case, he said, but would like an hourto think It over. Judge Martlne allowed himforty minutes, at the conclusion of nhlch timeMr. Levy nnnounced that ln fairness to hisclient he had concluded to put his witnesses onthe stand. Court was adjourned until 11 o clockthis morning when the defence will open.

Aug. ?. Commissioner Thomas J.Dowling of the State Labor Bureau reported toOov. Klower y that there were .4 convictsln Auburn prison making brooms, an excess of17. they being allowed by law to work only 37prisoners in any one Industry. After a full hear-ing In the matter with the Superintendent ofState Prisons and the Warden of Auburn prison.the Governor ordered Superintendent Lathmp tostop the making of brooms entirely In Auburnprison, for the reason that It conflicted with thebroom manufacturers of this State, who areworking free labor. The Governor says he Is
determined that the penitentiaries of this Stateshall not work their convicts In the manufac-ture of brooms eicept In accordance with law;that is, that only Ave per cent, of them can beemployed In any one Industry, and hels Informedthat the Onondaga county penitentiary is work-ing 87 men In that Industry, while according tolaw It Is entitled to work only .17.
Superintendent Lathrop also ordered an In-
vestigation of the charges aKoJpjst Mr. Mills ofAuburn prison, who Is charged with sellingprison goods of other Slates In this State. Healso ordered an Investigation into the chargesthat plumbing and hardware goods are nowbeing made ln the prison of the State by morethan five per cent, of convicts allowed Dy law.Superintendent Lathrop Informed the Gov-ernor that whenever)- - small amount of materialon hand was worked up. the horse-coll- indus-try nt Auburn prUon would be discontinued.
The granite Industry at Sing Sing prison wasdiscussed, and Superintendent Lathropinformedthe Governor that he had given Instructions toWarden Durston to stop the cutting of graniteexcept that to be used In new buildings to bolocated at the prison.
Experiment, made at Dannemora last yearand this, and the experiments now being madeat Auburn prlsou. lmve convinced the Governor,he says, that the Legislature should provide forworking all the prisoners on the public high-ways outside corporate villages ana cities. Inthis way the prisoners of the State will not beused In competition with free labor.

Goy. Flower this morning on the application ofthe Governor of Illinois for the surrender ofMoritz Rauer. It Is alleged that, when In Peoriatwo years ago, Hauer, on representing that hehad some $u'3.000 on deposit In a bauk in NewYork city succeeded In having a man namedStlveratein endorse a check on the New Yorkbank for $3.700, which was afterward found tobe worthless. Bauer was indicted at the time,but was not arrested until a few days ago.
Louis Marshall and Alfred Tajlor of New-Yor-
city appeared for Hauer at the hearing to-day. They said that Bauer for the past tvto !
years has been engaged In the real esute bu.lies in New York city, and that he should havebeen apprehended before If at all. They alsoaaserted that the warrant Lsued two years agowas worthless now, as it should have been exe-cuted within thirty days of the date of issuance,
Mr, Battle of the New York District Attor.ney's offlce. representing the State of Illinois,contended that Bauer's whereabouts had onlybecome known to the Ullnols authorities a few idays ago, and that the warrant could be cxe.cuted after the expiration, of the thirty days.
A recess of an hour was taken to allow of thelooking up of authorities regarding the legalityof the warrant.
After the recess It was stated that Sllverstelnhad been In correspondence with Bauer's law.vers In an endeavor to settle the question. Gov.Flower then said that, in view of this, and onaccount of the fact that (hs warrant had notbeen executed within the thirty days, it waaIllegal, and Bauer was discharged.

V.tt.l.EV FAt.tJ. K. Y Aug'. 'J.-- InquestInto the cause of the death of the unknownyoung bicyclist whoso body was found nnder astraw stack nearherca few days ago, was held atBirmingham's Valley Falls llttel Tuesday nightby Coroner Murphy and a Jury of nine men.The Interest In this mysterious murder amountsto excitement as groat as was caused two yearsago, when the dead body of Moggie Harrtganwas found In a pool of water )iar Middle Fall,and not far from this n1nt. There was still another mysterious case of murder developedhere alsmt one year ago. Late last Novemberthe dead and Imdly decomposed bodynf a welldressed man was found hanging by the neckfrom a limb of a tree in a piece nf woods lessthan a mile away, and In such condition as topreclude all possibility of It being a case of sui-cide. No clue was ever found to Ihe Identity ofthe man. nor was any trace' ever obtained of themurderer. Maggie Harrlgah was killed bya blow on the head and then placed In theshallow pool of water to make It appear Hintshe had committed suicide.. And now the find-ing of the body of this murdered unknown marunder a stack of straw, being' the third case ofmurder In so short a time, has aroused the wholepopulation to a determination to, If possible,find the guilty parties.
Valley Falls is a very pretty village of 1,300Inhabitants, situated on tne Hoosac River, ln ,
'Rensselaer county, twelve rotles north of Troy.In lb! Immediate vicinity are the villages of I
Schaghttcoke, Eastnn, Rcadle Hill, and John- - I
sonvllje. One branch of the FItchburg linllroadconnects It with Troy, and another branch withMechanlcvllle and Saratoga. The Hoosac furnishes good power, and there are knitting millsand mills for the manufacture of mosquito netting, giving employment In all to about fourhundred people, mostly boys and girls. TheBaptists. Catholics, ami Methodists have unusually fine church edifices. There Is a fine, largegraded school building. The streets are broadand densely shaded, and the houses, nearly allhandsome cottages, neatly kept, Indlcato proa-ocrlt- y
and a high degreu of social and domesticllfei and It Is a peaceable and moral commu-nity. Its residents do not think It possible thatsuch high crimes are committed In Its bordersor by any of its Inhabitants, but rather that thecrimes are committed In Troy or other near-b-y
places, or on the hlghwafs. and the victimsbrought to this neighborhood for concealment.Neither of the victims of these murders wasever known to have lived here or to have beenseen ln this .lcinlty.
At the Inquest the finding of the dead body ofthe last murdered unknown man was graphicallytold by the Fort boys. John and Lewis, and bytheir father. It was In the rye field on theirfnrm that the body was found. They began tocradle their rye on July 10. In about three daysIt was all cut, bundled, and set up In shocks often bundles each, as Is the custom of the farm-ers. About three days after this they and othersbecame aware of very disagreeable odors froma field on the northwest corner offour turners made there by the cross-ing of tivi) highways at right angles.On the morning of July 20 the Fort boys wereloading op and hauling In straw. Whon theycame to this particular stock and haddetached afew bundles Irom It. they discovered, to theirhorror, the dead hodr of a man. He was lyingon his bock, head to tho west, his legs bent backunder him. his arms crossed on his breast, andtied so by his shirt, which hod been split In theback for such purpose, and the ends brought upover his shoulders. Lying across his foldedarms were his vest and coat, and betweenthe arms and breast was the cap. Leaving the""dy, they found It. they came here anilthe facts to Coroner Murphy at HooslckFalls, whocamc and had thebody taken there.At the Inquest the Coroner said he found the !
body to he very decently clad ln a full suit oflepiwr-andsa- lt cheviot cloth. The shirt nexthis body was of fine black saline, and over this 'was a tilre brown and white striped outingshirt, with lolt, hut no suspenders. Tied aboutthe neck and under the brood collar of the out-ln- g
shirt was a loose necktie. His cap was anavy blue outing cap. such oa.are commonly ,worn by bicyclists. The storkmgs were Unlitbrown, and In good condition, and on his feetwas a pair of light colored, high lacedgaiters, reaching some distance above the ankleThey seemed nearly new, showing very littlewear, especially on their soles. AH that wasfound on the body was a buttonhook, four finelinen handkerchiefs-o- ne unopened. Just as Ithad come from the laundry-n-nd several cigar- - '
ettetardj. About the neck of the body was anice black silk cord, and attached to It a scop-ula- r.

Hangman Van Hlsc of Newark, who hashanged nearly nil the murderers who have been

' client," as he terms It, ln order to get some Ideaof the weight which will be required for the gal '
Ions. The hangman has a bill prepared for pre- -sentntlon to the next Legislature, makinghim the official executioner for the State, andhe called on Sheriff Toffcy yesterdny to ask hisassistance In having it passed. He made thathis excuse for calling on the Sheriff, expectingto be engaged to hang Altenberger. He was notpositively engaged, however, as HangmanIsaacs, from this rltv, has been to see the Sheriff 'and Is negotiating for the Job. Isaacs hangedKanknwskl, the murderer of Mlna Muller. That ;
murder was very much like the crime for whichAltenberger is to die. .
After leaving the Sheriff's offlce. an Hlsewent over to tho Jail and was admitted to thecorridor In which Altenberger and Hull, the !
wife murderer from Kearney, are confined. The ti
Rev. Mr. Mewry was with Altenberger. HulLwho knows Van Hlse. saw him as he walkeddown the corridor. Bull occupies n cell directly i
opposite Altenberger's. In attempting suicide i
after killing his wife he cut his vocal chordsand Is unsble to speak nbove a hoarse whisper.As soon as he saw Von Hlse he called to Alten-berger as loudly as he could and attracted hisattention. Vau HImj was walking along the cor-ridor with assumed Indifference.' As he parsed Bull pointed to hlra. clasped hishands around his own throat, and emitted agurgling sound. The pantomime wns so realthat Altentierger understood it at once. He
a little excited, anil Van Hlse hurriedaway. He had seen enough, however, to enablehim to fix upon the required welitht to swingAltenberger off provided he gels the Job. anRise's record Is thirty-eigh- t executions.

said he was going away and neverexpected to return. He may have told Milterwhere ha waa golnr.
"Miller has been perjuring himself at thesetrials against me and the others who have benconvicted. I have placed Information In thahands of Iroaecntor Oourl'y which t think hawill use. but regarding that I don't think Itwould lie. wise to publish anything Just now."

Doehbeler said lie learned of Ohlensctilaeger'adeatli through Robert SeldeL who waa about toleave the city to go to Allendale, on the Erie,where the body waa found. Doebbeler metSeldel and asked him where he was going Insuch haste. "To find Ohlenschlaeger: he hasbeen murdered," Seldel answered, Doebbelerfurther said that, when Miller learned, or wastold nf the murder, he remarked! "Had Iknown he was going to die I would have hadhim Insured."
Doehbeler says he and his friends made an In-vestigation of Ohlensohlaeger'a death. Theydid not succeed ln fastening tbe crime on anyone. There were finger marks on Ohlenschla,e- -
throat, and a clean deep cut ln the headScr'slinked as if It might have been inflictedwith a cleaver. Ohlenschlaeger wraa a powerfulman about thirty years old.

August Miller said In regard to thaaccusation of Doebbeler and.Stark: "Jhere waano better friend In the world than t was toOhlenschlaeger. I left him at Xatinnal Hallthe night he was killed, and learned afterwardthat he was seen tn Wllkesmaq's saloon In Weststreet. In company with a smooth-face- d

XOT TO UK DISItAXDXn.

The West Hoboken Common Council, at a ses--slon which lasted until nearly 1 o'clock yester-day morning, decided to reject a proposition,which had been made at the previous meeting,to disband the police force. At the previousmeeting the Police Committee, of which Conn-cllrn-
Solyom is Chairman, submitted a reportrecommending that several policemen bo fined,and Policemen Noe nnd Vermolen be requestedto resign. After some discussion, a motion wasmade that the force be disbanded, and Mr.Solyom. who Is also Chief of Police, secondedthe motion.
It was nearly midnight an Wednesday whenCouncilman eol)-o- called the matter up.He read an explanation, ln which he said thatwhen he seconded the motion to disband theforce he did It on the spur of the moment. Heliad changed his opinion, and wu not only op-posed to disbanding the force, but favored re-mitting the penalties recommended by his com-mittee.
"Some of the chargea made by the pressngnlnst the police are founded in faot," said air.Solyom: "but are there not others responsible ?How can discipline be expected if members ofthis council, to ((ratify their spite, incite thepolice to Insubordination r How can- - the policesuppress violators of the Kxctse law when mem-bers of this Board, sworn to uphold the law. areforemost In breaking It T Must the,. pollen aloneanswer charges of corruption, when it Is no-torious that they were commanded by membersof the late Hoard tn levy blackmail and acceptbritiea, and when coiincilmen divided with themthe Illegitimate proceeds"
Nobody answered Chief Solyom's questions,aud the motion tn disband tbe force was re-jected. The other motion, to fine the delinquentpolicemen, was adopted. Policemen Noe andVermolen were asked tn resign before Wednes-day. The statements made by Councilman riol-t- o
in have created a sensation in the town, andlie will probably be requested to explain. Someof the leading citizens suggest that It Mr. Sol-yom can substantiate his allegations, the factaought to be laid before the Grand Jury.
