cherilT nt the Urand Central depot this morn
ing. Shnnnahun was ono of a batch of
cloven prisoners to bo taken to Sing Sing.
They were divided into three groups and
were in charge of Deputy Sheriffs Burke ,
Whiilen and Lynch. Each group was hand
cuffed together. The llr.st group had entered
the cars safely. Tbo second group ,
In which was Shannnhnn , In charge of
Deputy Sheriff Burke , had Just stepped on

hnnd'shot up and the handcuff fell off. Shnn-
imlmn mndo n Jump straight across the plnt-

Burke ilrcd a shot after him nnd started In

pnlnlng on Shannahan when ho tripped on
the track nud came down with an awful
crash , dislocating his shoulder and receiving
other Injuries. Shannahan dashed on to
Forty-fifth street , where a cab was waiting
for htm , nnd ho Jumped In nnd drove off. In
the melee the other prisoners and deputy
sheriffs left for Slug Slug.
Burke immediately sent out n general police -

of Jiinoau , WV. , Is being driven across tbo
country through the raln.aFollowlng him is a
United Ktato.s deputy marshal with a federal
writ of habeas corpus which , If served , will
again delay Cook's removal from Chicago.
Cook was arrested two months ago on a
requisition from Wisconsin charging him
with Illegal banking at Hartford and
Junenu. Before the messenger from
Wisconsin could take his man
out of the state n writ of habeas corpus <
issued by Judge Dnlcor prevented further
proceedings , The hearing on Ihu writ was
postponed from tlmo to tlmo and
the last nrguinent was not fin
ished until this morning. In obedience
to the requisition the Judge gave Cook
over to Deputy Sheriff Pratt of Wisconsin ,
nnd the party ut once drove away from the
county building. Cook's friends hurried to
the federal court and there obtained another
writ. Only twenty minutes after
the banker had been hurried away
_ the sheriff's onlco , Deputy
.marshal Foster came In with the papers.
Ho took a carriage and the chase begun. In
the United States courts Cook sought
relea.su by hubons corpus. Judge
Grcshnm Issued the writ , roturn-

directed against Sheriff Gilbert , who
had COOK In custody. The petition cites that
there Is no such crime as Illegal banking

Another I.OIIK HtniRKle for Them
Promised In the Courtw.
NKW YOIIK , Juno 0. The charge will
shortly bo made In open court that there ex
ists a conspiracy with no less ambitious an
object than the securing of the millions luft
bv A. T. Stewart. The attorneys for ox-
Judge Henry Hilton nnd Charles J. Clinch
will declare that William P. Smith , the man
to whom Stewart bequeathed a house , has en
tered into "corrupt collusion" with the Irlsu
relatives of the dead merchant to deprive the
heirs of Mrs. Cornelia M. Stewart
of the money and property loft to
them by her. The tittornoys will fur
ther try to prove that the suits
of the Irish relatives are brought to libel ex-
Judge Hilton , and that they nro being
pressed by n syndicate , the members of
which are to receive jOOOJ when they gain
pos. ( jsslon of the estate for every $ I,5X ) paid
In by them now.
The first action brought to have A. T.
Stowart's will declared Invalid and to Imvo
his estate divided among his relatives , was
that of Sarah Uranagh of Ireland against
W. P. Smith , which was brought to eject
htm from the house at No. 115 East Thirty-
lifth street which Stewart bequeathed him.
Smith was in the employ of the merchant
for many years and was a witness to Iho
will. Tlio plaintiff was the daughter of one
of Stewart's Ilrst cousins , and Judge Wal
lace In the United States circuit court a few
week's ' ago directed a verdict for Smith on
Ihu ground that an alien could not
tninsm.t to inherited property. As the suit
wa < a test ono -Judge Hilton and others
who were IntoruMod In Mrs. Stewart's ' prop
erty employed J. II. Cliiiotu , Eliliu Root , ex-
Judge Horace Russell nnd J. Holmes , jr. , to
appear for Smith. The plaintiff was repre
sented by General Benjamin F.'Butlcr and
William IloltSccor.
As soon as the lirst suit wns dismissed an
other was brought against Smith by the
Stewarts of Ireland and A. Stewart of Noiv
York , both lirst cousins of the merchant
prince. It is in connection with this suit
that the charge of collusion and conspiracy is
to bo mado.
J. Holmes , jr. , appeared before Judge
Lueomb in the United States circuit
court ycsterdav to make n motion
embodying tlio"allegations. . Mr. Socor
was present and also the plaintiffs. It
was motion day in Judge Lncomb's court ,
and ho was kept busy with other cases until
I o'clock , consequently Mr. Holmes did not
lire his bombshell and will have to wait until
next Friday.
Following , however , is the motion which ho
wished to make : "You will please take
notice that on thu petition nnd the nflldavits
hereto attached I shall move this court at' the
chambers thereof in the postollicu building in
the city of Now York Friday , June 5 , at 11
o'clock in the forenoon or as soon thereafter
ns counsel can bo hoard for an order permit
ting Charles , Jeremiah and Henry Hilton as
executors ol the last will and testament of
Cornelia Stewart , deceased , to intervene in
this action , and requiring them to be made
party defendants thereto on the ground that
the action was to bo promoted and
maintained , not lu the Interest of
justice or the establishment of legal rights ,
but a corrupt collusion and conspiracy to defame -
fame njid licbol Henry Hilton ; and further
requiring that the said Charles J. Clinch and
Henry Hilton , us such executors , ' or their at
torneys' bo served with a copy of the sum
mons and compnlint and have the usual time
within which to appear and answer in tlio
action after such service. "
Mr. Holmes hud about one thousand pages
of allldavits to support his charge that Smith
sot himself up as a straw man for the Irish
relatives to knock down.
Ex-Judgo Horace Russell , when seen yes
terday , expressed his unwillingness to light
his case in the newspapers. Ho intimated
that bis side was in possession of startling
facts about the case. "The others have
been shrieking fraud and perjury long
enough , " ho said , "n.id now It is our turn to
have an inning. I have boon In the case only
ono year , and since that time I have heard of
no syndicate formed , and I believe wo are
rlgift and will light it to the bitter end. "

who wns in town a few minutes this morn
ing , stntcd that he had no doubt that Chief
Justice Horton would accept the position
tendered him by President Harrison , as ono
of the judges of the Spanish and Mexican
land grants commission. The governor said
ho was in correspondence with Senator
Plumb , who is now in Washington , nud there
Is every reason to believe that the president
will delay Judge Horton's appointment until
October. Then it will ba too late to call an

Governor Humphrey laughed at the demo

are afraid to go before the people this full.
Ho suld the party Is stronger by many thous

that It could elect a chief justlco this fall as

WASIIIXOTOX , Juno 0. [ Special to THE
llr.R.J--This government Is spending ojur
* 100.000,000 In pensions this year , and yet
there Is today an ex-mnjor general of the
United States nrmy nnd an ex-speaker of the
house nf representatives , old , Inllrni and help
less , suffering for the necessities of life. The
friends of Hon. Nathan P. Banks , the famous
"Hobbln Boy of Gloucester , " major general
of thn Nineteenth United States army corps ,
speaker of the Thirty-fourth congress nnd
twice governor of the stnto of Massachusetts ,
is today dependent on the charity of his
friends and a fund is being raised to give
him food and shelter for his fuw remaining
years.
General Banks' life Is ono of those that are
fondly held up to the American boy as an
evidence of what pluck and energy accom
plish. But the difference Is that unlllco all
the other men who have arisen from nothing
and acjiloved greatness General Banks Is In
his declining years as poor as when nearly
llfty years ago ho worked In the cotton mills
of Walthain. Since 1810 he has been In pub
lic llfo nad has always acquitted himself
honorably and with distinction. In JS. " > 1 ho
was speaker of the state legislature of
Massachusetts. Thou In 1851 ho
came to congress , and In 1S.V5 was
elected speaker of the house. In IS'i" ho was
elected governor of Massachusetts , and was
re-elected to a second term. Ho entered the
nrmy at the outbreak of the war and served
continuously till the close , being present at
many of the hardest fought battloi of the rq-
bellion. After the w.ir ho again came to con

served continuously till 1ST" . In 1H71. ) ho was
mndo United States marshal for Massachu

land not caring to remove him on account of
his popularity everywhere. Ho was again In

this man Is today dependent upon the charity
of his friends.
H.U'.M'S nr.sioxATiox sciieiifi.r.D.
It wns stated at the interior department to
day with .such dcllnitenoss that there can re
main no doubt that Pension Commissioner
Knuin's resignation will bo forthcoming in
Scptembor.
It is not believed that it will bo necoisnry
to usk for the document , as General Unum
has probably boon convinced by this time
that the best interests of everybody require
a change in the administration of the pension
bureau. Thus it may bo snid truly that a
second man hns been forced out of this posi
tion within a year by public clamor and as a
result of interim ! dissensions.
As stated in tlleso dispatches some days
ago , the habit of employes of the olllco nnd
politicians and claimants on the outside of
throwing obstructions in the way of the com
missioner to mnko trouble and prevent a
satisfactory administration of the oflico has
"
grown to "such proportions that it will bo
next to an impossibility to manage the olllco
successfully unless there nro radical changes
in thu conditions surrounding the of
fice. In tlio first place It is
conceded on every hand that , ns sug
gested by ex-Commissioner Dudley , the oflico
must bo cut away from the interior depart
ment nnd made n separate bureau , reporting
directly to the president and congress , as the
commissioner cannot now help himself and is
hampered In every direction. Secondly , it
will bo necessary to give the commissioner
power to clean this Augean stable \vitb a
linotooth comb , turning out Into the street
all who obstruct by any process or mean-
successful ad ministration of the oflicn.
Ju this conucctiou it is proper to state that
there is no indication that Secretary Noble
will resign , then ) being no apparent reason
for such a stop.
WAXTS IT TO WOUK 1IOTII WAVS.
In n gonernl way the people of Washington
do not interest themselves very greatly in
the measures adopted by the district com
missioners looking to the control of the liquor
truflle. There i * a vor > strong , healthy tem
perance sentiment in this town , which , rec
ognizing liquor saloons as a necessity , is on
the other hand perfectly willing that they
shall have full Justice so long as they remain
within the bounds of propriety , but It Is conceded -
coded that a certain liquor dealer on Seventh
street Is rather crowding the limit of good-
natured endurance by a specimen of sublime
nerve which ho 1ms Just given.
It scorns that the district commissioners
are about to purchase n piece of land on
Seventh street near this gentleman's saloon ,
on which they propose to orcct n school build
ing. There is a law in the district , either
written or unwritten , but always observed ,
that no saloon shall bo permitted to locate or
exist within a certain distance of n school
building , and It is still furthermore neces
sary before obtaining a license that the
saloon keeper must obtain a written consent
of : v.inaority ] of property holders In the vi
cinity of the saloon. The saloon keeper above
referred to has gravely petitioned the com
missioners not to orcct a school building on
the proposed slto , because it will interfere
with his trade nnd make U dillieult , if not
impossible , for him to obtain a liccnso this
year.
DISTINCTION AND A DirrnilUNCE.
The action of tbo supreme court the other
day in deciding thnl the revised statutes
which give preference to ox-union soldiers
and sailors in appointments to positions
under the federal government could not .bo
applied to the police force of Washington has
nttrncted widespread attention , nud Is sus
ceptible of very wrong construction.
It is true that the police force of Wash
ington is looked upon nnd actually Is part of
Uncle Sum's servants , but not in the light
of political preference. Whou congress
missed the law requiring appointments to go
to these who fought to preserve the union It
has been decided , time and again , that polit
ical appointments wore in view , moro espe
cially these places in the executive depart
ments hero nnd customs and Internal revenue
service. If the pollco foroj were considered
n political roll thu arm ; and navy could also
bo so considered , and when appointments to
these services were to bo made the ox-sol
diers and sulloi-s would have to bo given
preference , whereas the physical and mental
capacity alone counts In the examinations.
An effort was made to gnt a bill through
the last congress confining the appointments
to soldiers and sailurs lu the last war In the
matter of the notice force of this city , but It
failed. And the failure was duo to the work
of veterans In congress , who openly declared
that thqso who served In the war were too
old to bo ufllctcnt policemen. Young men
are preferred , unit It is very seldom that a
man is over appointed to the pollco force
hero who Is above thlrty-llvo years of ago.
Under thirty and above twonty-llvo Is the ago
most sought. After all the decision of the
court Is no discrimination.

A Broken Wetltllng Knftnueinent lie-
nnvril Alter n ( . " it-ration.
Nr.\v YOIIK , Juno 0. A romance of moro
than ordinary Interest turned up nttlio barge
oflico yesterday. Thu actors were n line look
Ing man of llfty years , n resident of Brook
lyn , named Lcopltt Bcntel , and a beautiful
Immigrant girl who lias Just turned eighteen
years. Shortly after noon the man put in an
appearance at the barge Olllco and exhibited
a pass signed by the agents of the Red Star
line .steamship company , entitling him to admission -
mission to the Information bureau to llml
Miss R-ulna Bnrgonclla , who w.u a passon-
I ger on the steamship Rhynland , which had
i Just arrived from Antwerp. Ho wns ushered
i into the information bureau nud presented
his card to Chluf Clerk Hay burn. Then ho
dvow from his coat pocket a letter written
In German and from the same envelope took
out n picture. This ho showed to Superin
tendent Simsoii , remarking that the original
was Miss Borgcuclla. The photograph was
that of a beautiful young girl.
' Perhaps ray visit needs nti explanation , "
ho snld to Mr. Simsoii. "I nm nu old man ,
you see , whllo she Is but a young girl , but I
am going to make her my wlfo. "
Then ho said ho was a safe manufacturer
and had a place in Brooklyn. While awaiting
the landing of the girl ho went on with the
story , which is ono of the most remarkable
that has ever como through the barge oftlco.
Ho was born and brought up in a ll'.tlo village -
lago In Germany , and as his people were poor
bo was put to work on a farm. The farm
where ho found employment was that of J.
Uehr , who wns ono nf the wealthiest farmers
in the country. Ho had an only daughter ,
Hilda , a girl of rare beauty , to whom the
photograph bore a striking resemblance. She
was In her teens when ho started to work on
the farm , and they were thrown together n
great deal. Finally ho grow to love Hilda
anil she reciprocated his affection , and for a
time tuey loved in silence. At last , they became -
came impatient , and Hilda told her father
that she intended marrying the farm hand.
She begged of her parents to give their con
sent. They were horrilled , and instead of
the blessing came Leopold's dismissal. Ho
returned to his homo and parents , thinking
that ho had brought everlasting disgrace on
thorn by presuming to bo the son-in-law of
old Rchr , bought him a ticket for America ,
and the next ho know he was on board ship
nnd landed in this city.
Ho corresponded with Hilda for a time and'
at lust received a tearful letter stating that
her parents had decided that she should
marry Baron Borgonciln. That was the last
ho he'ard from "nor directly , but friends kept
bun informed and in time came word that
his old love was a mother. Ho still watched
and waited , and by this time had engaged in
the snfo business and was vqry comfortably
lixcd. At least , six years ago , came word
that thn old baron bad failed in business and
gone through old Farmer Rchr's money along
with his own. A year later came another
