, NEW YORK , June 2. The New York
iworld ban obtained advance proofs of the
) > ook upon Irish affairs written by P. J. P.
{ Tynan , the Irlnh "Invincible , " more gener
ally known its "Number One. " The book
referred to Ib entitled "Tho Irish National
JnvlnciblcK and Their Times , " and Its ap
parent purpose Is to' prove t > eyond a doubt
the connection of the "Invlnclbles" with
the Irish parliamentary party. On the
other hand , It Is asserted by borne Irishmen
tl-at Mr. Tynan's book was written in order
to further the campaign of Lord Salisbury
end the tory party , and that It Is simply
campaign literature from the conservative
camp. In fact , It Is btnted that even at
this time , before the book is supposed to
liave been Been by more than a few friends
pf the author , copious extracts from It have
fccen made and that millions of circulars
pulling attention to Mr. Tynan's book have
been printed ready for distribution to
f "J , English voters upon the dissolution of
( Parliament.
The Irish parliamentary party publicly de-
pounced the authors of the Phoenix park
Crimes , and , in BO doing , It is claimed by
Mr. Tynan they were "balling under false
colors to betray the trusting Irish. " "For
this , " says Mr. Tynan In his Introductory
chapters , "and for the purpose of exposing
.their liypocrisy this book was undertaken.
In assailing the policy and action of the
Itvlnclblee these false parliamentarians are
heaping mountains of infamy on their own
memories. "
It Is claimed that the book proves , in the
first place , that the assertions of the London
ffimcs , which resulted In the Pornell trial ,
Jjvere not only absolutely true as far as they
, vrent , but they might have gone to a far
greater length than they did and still have
been correct. It also claims to show that
( there existed during the great struggle which
took place In Ireland under the Land league
nnd its subsequent development , the
Invincible brotherhood , a. de jure
government as completely organized
tas the de facto government- the
i rord of the former being law throughout
Ihe count IT at the time , whilst that ol the
latter was , through Its Impotence , only an
pbject of ridicule to thobc who were Tvatch-
Ing the struggle which Ireland was making
tor freedom against her hereditary foe and
piaster. It Ifa also asserted that when public
Indignation reached UK culminating point
rtvlth the Phoenix park affair the manifesto
put out by the Irish parliamentary party at
the time , denouncing the act , was a mere
hypocritical ruse , and Instead of condemning
or attempting to prevent further occurrences
pf the sort the men who cried "Shame upon
lie deed , " "created the whole movement anil
Jtvcro as responsible for it as If they had com-
piltted the crime themselves. "
AVORK OF THE INNER CIRCLE.
In fact It is claimed by Tynan that the
pEltullon which produced the Phoenix park
fcnurderc , the wholesale aEbahslnatlou through
put Ireland and the dynamite outrages , was
Actually the revolt of a nation , with the
prominent members of th Irish pailla-
tnentary party as leaders , and not the des
perate effort of a few fanatics to win notori
ety for themselves.
Tynan's book Is supposed to reveal the
tnethods and workings of what U known as
| .he "Inner circle , " as its author was the
trusted leader of the whole campaign. The
Phoenix park murders were , It Is asset ted ,
( deliberately planned by him and were In
tended as an offset to the Imprisonment of
bis chieftain , Parnell , in an Engllf.li prlbon.
In referring to the Plgott matter , ronsldcr-
lible light Is thrown upon that peculiar affair.
It appears thut Pigott was deceived in one
Way , although not In the main points of the
Case , which were lu accordance with his
Btntement"The Ortft of the whole thing
Ecems to be to urge cessation of all consti
tutional agitation In Ireland and Inaugurate
U policy of dynamite and terror which shall
compel England to surrender her claims
to Ireland Instead of asking her to give
Come crumbs of comfort In a charitable way
to her sister , Ireland , through the medium
pi parliamentary agitation. "
Tynan unhesitatingly denounces Gladstone
txs tlie typical hypocrite of his age , and the-
failure of constitutional agitation In. as he
platen , only u repetition of history and an
other evidence ot the perfidy of the Briton
nnd his unwillingness to render justice un
less compelled to do BO by force.
i'ProvIneluIlsts" is the word which Tynan
scornfully substitutes for the title nation
alists , claimed by the Irish parliamentary
party. He says that "IrUhmou will never
gain the respect ot mankind until their
political warfare Is so conducted. "
CALLS PARNELL A COWARD.
He blames Charles Stewart Purnell and
Dames Stephens "for not forcing the Issues
With the British enemy. " The defection
ot both men when * the crisis came proved
Ireland's leaders lacked the nerve to follow *
up their work by the only possible solution
-action.
This statement refers to a striking chap
ter In the book , wherein an account is given
Df the secret preparations made by the In-
plnclbles to rescue Parnell during MB im
prisonment In Kilmalnham jail. For thU
ever ) ' preparation had been made a * vessel
.Was ready to carry him from beneath the
enemy's flag but Parnell hod not the cour-
fcge and refused to leave. Had he accepted
the plan of rescue , the to-called constitu
tional agitation woulj have openly assumed
toe manlier attitude ot Wolfe Tone and
George "Washington. Parnell's Phoenix
park proclamation , denouncing the killing
bt Durko and Cavendish , Tynan refers to
ba "the policy ot Infamy , " end demonstrates
that It established a clear rase of Parnell
Denouncing himself. The book stylra the
Parnell movement with Its Invincible afflli-
\tlou "the Puruelllte uoverninrut. ' ' and
JuntlflCB the plira ! > p by an elaborate descrip
tion of the thorough organization of the
movement.
When the Land league was formally sup
pressed by the British government In the
fall of 1SS1 It wan c'crctly revived under
the leadership of the Invincible organization.
In view of thl * fact Tynan aKk * : "How
dared they ( the Irleh parliamentary party )
declare publicly nfter the Phoenix park af
fair that It ( the Invincible movement ) was
open to condemnation , and betray men by
enrolling them In Us ranks ? "
The book points out that the object of
the Drltlgh government Is to crush out the
life of any Irish movement toward national
Independence by fostering the comparatively
harmless home rule movement , which docs
not interfere with Ireland's continuance as
a province of the empire. To this end.,11
is stated , the lirltMi authorities are seeking
the unanimous condemnation of the Invincible
vincibleas criminals by the Irish people
themselves , a condemnation already se
cured from the lips of the home rulers.
"The Invincible * sprang into existence , "
says Tynan , "by order of the Parnellile gov
ernment of Ireland elected by the Irish na
tion. In the face of the events the 'acted
lie * by which the Parnellitea repudiated all
association with the 'buppresslon * In the
Phoenix paik , and the probable contradic
tion of this statement frnm men who think
their connection cannot be proven , we state
most emphatically that the facts as nar
rated In thig Volume are known to the writer
personally and can be .substantiated by plenty
ot living witnesses , who bring thU associa
tion lamentably close to the very seat nnd
center of actual power and authority. "
ORDERS TOR "REMOVALS. "
At this cnsls In affairs , observes Tynan ,
many members of the parliamentary party
sought safty from possible danger by ab
senting themrelvca from Ireland "to their
shame be it recorded. " In e\ery province
of Ireland the Invincible movement was
spread by leading Parnellites. It was de
cided by the Parnelllte government , which
was iilso with two exceptions , the executives
of the Invlnclbles , that there was no alterna
tive , but to meet the "usfcasMn rule" of the
Briton by force The vengeance of the In
vlnclbles was primarily directed against the
"two bureaucraU' tf Dublin castle" the
chief and under secretaries. The viceroy
of Ireland was to be exempted so long as
he refrained from actual executive duties.
If he assumed them he , an well as the sec
retaries , was to bs at once "removed. " It
did not matter who occupied the detested
offices. It was the official existence of the
officers themselves which would not be
tolerated. In Dublin the Invlnclbles were
mainly composed of men from the Irish
revolutionary brotherhood , and In the coun
try dlbtrlcls they were leorulled from the
suppressed Land league. The organizer In
the country districts , \vas alto a prominent
Parnelllte.
"It was through no fault of his the In
vlnclbles did not make a redder record. He
had no connection with the Phoenix park
incident , though a party to the policy of
phlch it was the active exponent. The
organization did not exist outxlde of Ireland.
It-was composed of native born Irishmen In
Ireland. "
The book states that "one Parnelllte
member of Paillamcnl" wanted to go to
Ireland to "remove" Mr. Torrestcr , the
predecessor of Lord Frederick Cavendish as
chief secretary. The member , it Is claimed ,
remains to this day one of the leaders of the
provlnclullsta ( home rule ) parliamentary
party.
A WOMAN IN THE CASE.
The Invlnclbles appointed three men to
take charge ot the conduct of affairs. "All
but two members of the executive were high
officials In the Parnelllte Irlbh government. "
The trio in charge of the actual conduct of
affairs purchased , through u certain valuable
recruit distinguished by Tynan us "D , "
the knives used in killing Burke and Caven
dish In Phoenix park. These weapons were
sent to Dublin through a courageous lady ,
Though this medium of transit was adopted
as better than had a man carried the knives ,
Tynan characterizes it as Ill-advised and as
having been "cruel and unmanly. " Yet It
proved the devotion to the country of a
brave Irishwoman.
The three men lu charge of active affairs ,
Tynan describes as "J , " "i" and "F. " "J"
wab a strong advocate of rapid action and
the orlglnaloi of the title "Invincible. " He
had one or two special friends among the
leading Parnellltes , while " 2" was In the
confidence of all the leaders. At this time
an important member , mentioned In the
book as "K , " was enrolled In tlie In\inclbles.
He bad been enlisted at a meeting of the
Irish Paillamentary members and was as
tounded upon learning their secret policy.
This man had previously looked upon the
Parnelllte Parliamentary movement as folly ,
but he uow became convinced that
It was becauto of this secret
vigorous policy that the Irish-American
National leaders were mtppoitlng Purnell.
Then he switched oft on the theory that the
"acute crisis" had forced the Parnelllte
party to take action In spite of thenibelvrs.
Then be took counsel ot his triend "F. "
"F" told "K" of the true state of affairs ,
but advised him to refrain from letting " 2"
know the extent of his Information.
Through the Inlliicnce of " 2" upon "K" the
latter obtained n new recruit to the In
vlnclbles. This recruit Mr. Tynan called
"X , " at that time "a Parnellite member of
the British Parliament. " "K" was after
ward , it Is Muted , appointed chief of the
Dublin council ot the InvlnfSblu ! > . ' '
Tynan describes the system of organiza
tion adopted by the Dublin Invlnclbles' coun
cil. AH correspondence was destroyed \\hen
read. Notwithstanding tills precaution a
panic possesbcd the ParnHllte.8 in Parlia
ment when the PJgott forgeries appeared
In the Times.
It was finally derldr-d to nttpmpt the "re
moval" of Mr. Foratei , then chief secretary
tor Ireland , and a certain part of Dublin
quays near the Phoenix/paik wits selected.
A plan ot attack was arranged and Invin
cible bentrles were posted along the route
of the chief secretary's carriage through
the streets , but a mistake in the prearranged
ranged Byttera of secret clgnaU caused the
plan to provu alrartlva. Because of thU
failure Care } was rcmo\eil from any con
sultative position on the council. A second
opportunity to "remove" Secretory Fumtcr
was abandoned because of the presence of
ladles in hU carriage , \\Uom the Invlucibles
feared to Injure th-ough ai ld-nit Next
came the Kllmatnham treaty , the release o (
Parnell and the resignation of Chief Sec
retary Forster , events which mystified the
Invincible council at Dublin. Tynan points
out the falsity of the charges put forth that
the Invincible aclora In the I'-boenlx park
tragedy were desperate men enraged at the
conclusion of PurneH's treaty with the
government , because the executive committee
ot Invlnclbles at that verj time ordered a
continuance of tbe policy ot "removal" and
expressed wonder that the Dublin council
had not already done something practical.

( Copyrighted ISM by tl | ABiorlnteil Prers. )
BERLIN , June 2. Europe In general and
Germany In particular has been treated to
two genuine sensations this week and both
of them have been regarded as likely to have
serious results. The first of these was the
announcement of the Relchsanzelger yester
day that an operation had been performed
upon Emperor William and that a small
encysted tumor had been cut from the em
peror's cheek. The second startling piece
of news was contained In the dispatches
from Sofia , which announced that a re\olu-
tlon of some magnitude had broken out In
Bulgaria as the result of the fall of the Stam-
bouloff cabinet.
The official announcement of the operation
performed upon the emperor natundly caused
the circulation of many sensational rumors ,
which created momentary alarm throughout
Germany , In view ot the fact that his father
died of a disease which caused much dis
cussion In medical circles at the time. One
set of physicians were of the opinion Em
peror Frederick William died of cancer ,
while another set ot medical experts thought
he was simply suffering from a wort without
cancerous symptoms. The latter set was
backed up by the opinion of Sir Morrel Mac
kenzie , who was sent by Queen Victoria to
attend her son-in-law. The emperor's con
dition some time after the removal of the
wart was such that It was generally under
stood the balance of the physicians con
curred In the opinion of Dr. Mackenzie , and
that it was finally admitted he had not
suffered from a cancerous disease. Concern
ing the announcement of the operation on
Emperor William II. . coupled with the fact
that considerable anxiety has been frequently
manifested , caused alarm throughout Ger
many until it was recognized that the of
ficial notice of the operation was published
with the express view of forestalling exag
gerated and sensational stories , which would
inevitably have been circulated broadcast if
the operation had been performed without
notifying the public of the fact.
TUMOR WAS NOTHING SERIOUS.
It now appears that Prof. Bergmann , as
sisted by Prof. Teuthold and Prof. Schange ,
at Potsdam yesterday morning removed
from the emperor's left cheek an atheroma ,
an encysted tumor containing curdy matter ,
about the size of a cherry , in less than five
minutes and without the use of an anaes
thetic. There was very little bleeding and
the patient showed no feverish symptoms
before or after the operation , and was very
little affected by It. The tumor , it is added ,
was the growth of only a few months , and
it Is asserted upon the authority of the em
peror's physician that it had no connection
whatever with the old ear trouble , which has
been the subject of so many sensational
rumors for years past. The tumor , it is
also said , caused the emperor absolutely no
inconvenience and the operation itself in
no way distresses him , beyond the fact his
face is covered with a small bandage. He ,
however , is as well as usual. In confirma
tion ot these reassuring reports It is an
nounced the emperor parsed yesterday even
ing In his study and succeeded in disposing
of all the current business submitted to
him for the direction of state affairs. The
emperor was extremely desirous that no
alarming reports should be circulated con
cerning his health , and he retired at 10:30
last night and slept soundly throughout tbe
night. Ills appetite was good , he showed
no indications of being lu a feverish state
and his general health was pronounced to , be
splendid.
After breakfast Emperor William received
General von Hahnke , the chief of the mili
tary cabinet , who made the customary re
ports and congratulated hlb imperial high
ness upon hifi appearance.
The Relchsanzclger today publishes the
following bulletin , signed by Profs. Berg-
maun and Teuthold : "The emperor's general
condition is good. The manner in which the
wound is healing leaves nothing to be de
sired. His majesty will walk In the park
this afternoon. "
BULGARIAN TROUBLE IS SERIOUS.
The second sensation , the trouble In'Bul
garia , Is undoubtedly a matter which may
turn out lotb more serious than people are
generally willing to admit. All sorts of
rumors are In circulation regarding the state
of affairs at Sofia. Civil war Is said to have
broken out. A portion of tbe Bulgarian
troops , according to report , has revolted in
favor ot ex-Premier Slambouloff and the
latter and hlu cabinet are reported to be
under arrest. Owing to the censorship
over press dispatches from Bulgaria some
time may elapse before the exact situation
becomes known ; but It Is not denied that
serious rioting has occurred ; that the mili
tary has taken bides for and agalnbt Prince
Ferdinand ; that Rassla may see In the pres
ent disturbances an opportunity to Interfere
in tin * affaire of southeastern Europe , and ,
that this may lead to grave complications ,
The Novoe Yremya has given the keynote
of the situation from the Russian standpoint
by Us semi-official announcement that the
present ntate of affairs In Bulguita cannot
be permitted to continue , whatever may be
the result of the conflict between Prince
Ferdinand and ex-Premier Stambouloff. In
quiries made in official circles here , however ,
show that the1 Bulgarian crisis U not re
garded with alarm here. It Is asserted
the new cabinet Is composed ot responsible
men , who are not likely to precipitate the
country Into any foreign complications. In
fact , it Is Bald Stambouloff'e position la an
exact parallel with that of Prince Bismarck ,
and Prince Ferdinand Is blamed for allowing
hU jealousy ot Stambauloff u popularity to in
duce him to dlppeiiEe with the man who
made the. Bulgarian nation. The opinion
prevails that Princess Maria , the wife ot
Prince Ferdinand , had a large thare la the
latter'o decision to remove Stambouloff

The present week has bpen notable for mil
itary events. On Tuesday Emperor William
had a sort of trial review of hU three eons ,
Prince Frederick William , William-Eytel and
Adalbert Ferdinand , preparatory to the entry
of the latter Into the army on his attaining
his tenth year on July 14 next. On Wednesu
day there wan the annual spring review of
the garrlfon of Berlin In the prexenco of
Emperor William and the king of Saxony.
The military display took place on the Tern-
pclhoff field and was witnessed by many
thousands ot people. The enrolling of Prliicu
Adalbert In the First regiment of the .Foot
Guards , in the presence .of the emperor , In
the Lustgarten , wan a most interesting cere
mony. Emperor AVIIllim made a short
speech , during which he dwelt upon the Im
portance of the prlnqe , although almost too
young for military ten Ice , becoming ac
quainted with the laws of discipline and
obedience , which have ohvnys been the foun
dations of the army.

Idea that theatrical depression was likely

He expressed the belief that the drama

ST. JOSEPH , June 2. As a direct result
of the high water In the Missouri river ,
which will not begin to recede for some
time , the once prosjM-rous village of Win-
throp , thirty miles mnith of St. Joseph , on
the Rock Inland. Hannibal & St. Joseph , Mis
souri Pacific nnd Kansas City , St. Joseph &
Council Bluffs railroads , will soon be wiped
off the face of the earth. The Missouri rher
when it first began Its spring rise this year
began cutting the bank at the edge of the
town and adjacent to It , and today half of
the place hag melted into the river , together
with n half dozen farms of ICO acres each.
The channel of the river was a half mile
west of Wlnthrop last year , but today that
channel Is a sand bar , and the new channel
now occupies what was once the main street
of the village. The water Is now within a
few feet of the tracks of the four companies ,
which are parallel with each other ut that
point , and Is rapidly eating Its way Into the
railroad right of way , and all four are pre
paring to abandon their roadbeds and enter
Atchtson from a point farther north. In
such an event the $100,000 railroad bridge
connecting Wlnthorp and Atchlson will have
to be abandoned. Wlnthrop , which was a
town of leO people , has already lost half Its
population , and as the houses cannot be sold
they are being torn down and carried into
the country. The work of demolishing the
Methodist church , a structure which cost
$1,000 a year ago , is now going on , it hav
ing been sold to a farmer for JSO , who will
use Its material to make a barn. The river
la now within a few feet of it , and unless he
can finish by tomorrow it will be carried
away. Farmers who owned farms valued
at JS,000 and $10,000 two months ago are
without nn acre of ground today.

tinues to come anil there Is no Indication of
an Improvement in the situation. At C
o'clock this evening the water stood thirty
and one-half feet above low water mark ,
and the meager reports received from the
upper Columbia show that the river and all
Its tributaries are still rising. Telegraph
wires are prostrated along the Columbia ,
which makes It Impossible to get at the
true state of affairs. The loss will undoubt
edly foot up Into the millions of dollars
when reports from all the flooded districts
are received. Hundreds of people living
on the low lands have been driven from
their homes and scores of houses can be
seen floating down to the ocean. The Union
Pacific .tonight sent out the steamer Harvest
Queen , which will attempt to ascend the
falls at the Cascades. The railroad on both
sides of the river at the Cascades Is under
water and communication with the upper
river Is entirely cut off. In this city this
evening a violent thunder and rain storm ,
accompanied by a high wind , adds to the
already demoralized condition of things.
First floors of hundreds of business houses
are covered with water and many concerns
doing business on Front and Second streets
have opened temporary offices on uptown
streets. False sidewalks have been built
upon scaffolds. The good nature with
which the populace takes the InconvenlenccE
of the flood is surprising. Business men
smile at the rapid submerging of their
stores and appear to see a humorous side to
It , notwithstanding the consequent loss by
damage to their stock.

The article In The Bee concerning the
slaves tn the burnt district has been the
talk of the town for the past twenty-four
hours. Although the facts related ha e been
known to many people , especially the pollre ,
sporting fraternity nnd the mercantile
classes , yet the enormity of Martin's
domination has been known to but cry few
people. Common sentiment among all classes
Is that Inasmuch as this vice is tolerated
as a necessary evil the women who live by
It have the right to subsist without being
subjected to perpetual bondage by avaricious
landlords.
The revelations made by The Bee Aery
naturally had a more shocking effect on Mr.
Martin than upon the people who had never
heard of the atrocities practiced Itliin the
pale of his game preserve. Mr. Martin
called upon The Bee to set himself right
and to correct what he called a misappre
hension. He started out by acknowledging
his obligation for the valuable gratuitous
adertiHement , and then entered a general
denial of all the charges and specifications ,
coupling the demurrer with nn offer to pro-
dure liny number of affidavits in support of
his o\\n version of the situation.
Mr. Martin denies that he Is collecting ex
orbitant rents from his tenants paas he
has been compelled to i educe his rents dur
ing the past winter , and claims that some
of hla tenants have been delinquent for a
year , and he really lias been losing money in
the business. He docs not live on the
streets , he says , but has his residence In
Iowa , and comes over to Omaha only to col
lect his rents and look after h ! business
affairs. He denied that he charged each
woman who rented one of his hovels $3 n
flay. He said the rate at present was from
$1.25 to ? 2 a day. Ot course , he was willing
to admit that $40 to $ GO a month was pietly
fulr revenue on a rookery lhat would .cent
not more than $500. ,
-J JO LONGER BTRICKLER'S CLIENT ,
Sir. Mai tin also denied that lie had any ,
pull with the police officials , and said he
was having no business relations with any 5
of them. He s-uld he used to employ Police
Commissioner Stickler us his attorney , but
Mr. Strickler had gone buck on him lately , j
and was not doing any business for him any |
more. This statement WUR borne out by Mr. * i
Strickler , who said he stood ready to take
nny action that would break up a monopoly
of house renting In the vicious district. He
was lu fa r of enlarging the district to
such an extent that It would be
impossible for Martin or nny other one man
to get a monopoly on the buslnens of rent
ing houses to the women. Mr. Martin may
not have any particular pull with any mem
ber of the flro and police board , but he
seems to have but little If any difficulty
in getting anything he wants from the city
authorities. This may be due In n large
measure to the friendship and Influence j
of a member of the council , who gets nil |
of Martin's insurance business , a very large 4
item In the couise of a dull > ear's busl- \
Mr. Martin denies that he is making any
thing like the big money that he has been
credited with making. He says that as a %
*
matter ot fact he is very much in debt.
This may all be true. It is known that
everything he Is supposed to own is In the
name of his wife ; that he owes contractors
and others nnd is execution proof. It may
be that Mr. Martin has to divide too big a
per cent of his profits with his friends nt
court , and It may be that he lias forgotten
to Include In 'his list of assets the mag
nificently stocked and Improved G40-acre
farm near Missouri Valley , and Ms famous
naptha launch and his summer resort at
Point Comfort.
Martin's statements must of course be
taken for what they are worth , and that
only. Complaints are constantly being re
ceived by The Bee of the high-handed man
lier In which he has been and Is ruling the
women of the district over which ho Is a
self-constituted czar. Stories ot exorbitant
rent exactions nnd inhuman evictions ot
tenants are numerous and have been verified
by the statements of men and women who j
are quite as reliable as Mr. Martin. Some
of the canon have found their way Into tbe 4
courts and are a matter of record. One case
In point was reported to The Bee yesterday ,
Which shows that Martin's method of dealIng -
Ing with the women who have been placed
In his power are more the acts of an oppressor
presser and a Shylock than those of the
hi mane landlord he would lead people to
believe he Is. In speaking about the matter
an attorney who represents Jennie Martin
In a suit she has pending In the district
ccUrt against Martin said :
"It Is alleged that Mr. Martin owns or
centrals about twenty-eight houses In the
proscribed limits and the lentul of these
pjncos is nearly enough annually to buy the
whole district. While Mr. Martin does not
own nil the houses In that part of the city ,
he seems to have a monopoly on the busi
ness and the landlady on whom he lias no
claim considers herself lucky , i
FOXY AND DIPLOMATIC. , }
"BuJ Mr. Martin Is quite foxy and lie bas >
been able to keep these facts ( julet. He Is false f
alsoa diplomat , and in order to possibly
prevent a too close Investigation or notice
of his affairs by the Board of Fire and Po
lice Commlsslncrs , it is inferred , he em
ployed one of the attorneys who is a mem
ber of the board. But as the actual state ot
affairs became noised about and threatened rte
to become scandalous this attorney with-
dtew from the case upon whloli he had been
employed by Mr. Martin. Of course , this f
may only b an Inference , but It is alleged " ' "
that Martin net or found it necessary to en
gage this attorney previous to the time be
was appointed as a member ot the commit-
