Latest Disclosures in the Gotham System of Practical Politics. Nkw York, Jane 1. 1HILE today's hearing of the Luxow committee was not sensational, it was instruc tive. The first witness," Simon Rawitser, a dealer in raKS, testified to his firm mint; the sidewalk for bailing and shipping rags, and being slimmon d to court for obstrneting the side walk. Ho compromised with some allied court officer by the pay ment of two sums of $25 and $50. The officer told the witness that it might be settled by a little annual contribu tion, and thereafter the witness paid $10 a vear for two or throe years, and the firm enjoyed lmmnnity from an noyance and porsfontion, Then the tariff was raised to $50 a year. The money was always put in an envelope and banded to the officer. The reason civon for the increase in the rate from $20 to $50 wai, the witneas said, accord ing to his best recollection, that a new captuiu was in charge of the preeiuct. been made against him for encumber ing the sidewalk. The notice Btated that if the soda water stand was not removed immediately on receipt of the notice it would be taken to the eorpora tion yard. The officers of the bureau of incumbrances and the alleged com plainants will bo subpoenaed before the committee. Nathan Levy, of No. 215 E.ist Ninety eighth street, said he had a soda water stand iu front of his house which did not encroach on the sidewalk. A conplo of days ago a man called at his place and told bim that bis brother must leave town and uot testify against John J. Ryan. The witness said that his brother would not go and the man then told him that he would not be al lowed te kw, p bis soda water stand there any longer. Yesterday the witness said be received a notice from the bureau of encumbrances notifying bim that complaint had John F. Pnpke, a coffee and tea mer chant, at 103 Warren street, said MV need the sidewalks; that he had been summoned to court once for obstruct ing the sidewalk and fined $5 or $10 Since that time he bad not paid any more fines. He had been summoned again, but bis partner, Frederick Wio man, who was a member of Tammany Hull, saw the judge and got the matter settled or excused. LAW USED FOR REVENGE. Another case of payment to the po lice for the nse of the sidewalk was tea tilled to by Inadore Berg, dealer in woollen rags and waste at No. 172 Duane street. He said that he had been fined several times for encumbering the sidewalks, when one day he spoke to the policemun on the beat of the an noyance he had been subjected to in this way. The officer told bim that be would soml some one to him who would "fix" the mat ter all right. Another officer named Kelly called on bim, and after some discussion tho officer told him that it would cost him $50. Ho compromised on $25, and the money was paid in the nsual way by blng handed to the offi cer in an envelope. Tho witness there after was subjected to no interference in the use of tho sidewalk. POLICE CORMORANTS. Henry Schuche-t, sn old German carpenter, of 42S East Fourteenth street, was the next , 'tness. The witness told of his having savod some money and bought n little place in Pearl street twenty years ago, which he started to arrange as n saloon and eating bouse. Une night Captain Williams and a couple of police offi cers entered the house, took the key out of the door and arrested the wit ness and his wife on a charge of keep ing a disorderly house. On the way to the station bouse Captain Williams asked bim, the witness said, what he meant by opening a disorderly bouse without first see ing bim, and said that if he (the wit ness) paid him $75 down and $75 a month afterwards, he could contlnne to keep a house of disrepute. The wit ness insisted that his house was a re spectable one, and be refused to com ply with William's demand. Tho prisoners were admitted to bail in $1, 000. and that was the last of the case. Williams threatened him with arrest again when he asked for the key of his house. Ho returned to his house, but as he feared the police and did not want to have any trouble with Williams, he gave up the bouse and returned to biB business as a carpenter, THIS CATS THE CLIMAX. George Alexnndor, a native of Con statinople. 27 years of age, told a tale of police blackmail and tyranny and disgraceful neglect of duty wblcb at tracted the closest attention of the committee, From hit story it appears that he kept a small restaurant at No. 22 Catherine slip. Soon after he bought the place, a policeman called bis attention to a small stand outside the restaurant containing the uinal sample steak, etc., and grnffiy told him to take it in or pay $5 every two months tor the privilege of keeping it outside. He said that he could not afford to do so, but tbe officer was ob durate, and therefore he pawned his watch to get the money, as the officer insisted on the money being paid at once. He paid the $5 regularly for a year, or until about the beginning of 1894. Then he went into business with a partner in a small restaurant at 3 James slip. It was while in that place CONTAGIOUS that he bad his worst experience. He refused to pay for n stand inside the stoop line. Shortly afterward he saw a thief on night steal a lobster irom nis winnow, no ran out and caught the thief around tbe waist close to a policeman whom he oalled on for assistance. The thief bit bim on tbe head with the obster aud ran away, but fell as he run. The witness ngsin canea on ino officer, one John Adams, to arrest the thief, but with volley of oaths the of ficer told him to "go to out of here," and refused to assist him or arrest tho thief. The next Alexander made coniplainst against Adams at police headquarters, and in a couple of days he was summoned to polico headquarters to testify against Adams. The result of that trial, tho witneassaid, he did not know, but be did know that after be made the complaint against bim two ward dotectives culled at his restaurant, one at a time on two succeeding days, and "baking their hands nt him. swore at him and threatened to "send him to prison," to "fix him," "do him" etc. The witness said he was so afraid that tbe police would "put up a job" on him and ruin him that he gave up tbe busi nees the day before ysstordav. 'You would not have such treatment at Constantinople, would you, George?" asked Mr, Goff. "No, sir. I think not," replied the witneBS. REFORM 13 CONTAGIOUS. Director Beltler Ordered by Mayor Stuart to Frcbe Rottenness. Philadelphia, June 22. The thirty three police lieutenants in Philadelphia were today ordered by Director of Pub lic Safety Beitler to appear before a police court of inquiry ut 11 a. m. to morrow and stand trial upon a charge of taking money for police protection from the keeper of a house of assigna tion. Thirty-two of the lieuteuauta are Innocent, but they all will be arraigned in order to ferret out the guilty official. The hearing will be public. It was recently alleged in a reported interview with Simon Muhr. a promi nent jeweler, that some time ago a lieutenant of police in this city was ra coiving $50 a week (protection money) from a bouse of ill repute. This be came known to Mr. Mubr when tbe keeper of the house, a woman, waH about to purchase a diamoud to pre sent to the lieutenant. The jnweller Under tbe circumstances would uot sell tbe diamond, and had tbe lieuten ant brought before him. He begged for mercy, the joweller promised not to divulge J hie name. Mr. Muhr, how over, went to Director Beitler and told him the circumstances. The director tried to got him to divulge the lieuten ant's namo or tho name of the woman, but without success. A letter was sent by Director Beltler to Mr. Muhr usk tng him if he would not appear before the police board and testify, and in re ply Mr. jvrnnr saia he wouia not, nor wonld hegivo the lieutenant nor of the woman. Director Beitler today made public a letter from Mayor Stuart which is the basifl of the investigation. It says iu part: "After receiving evidence as to Who tho guilty party is. you will order a trial to proceed agaiast that lieutenant, and if found gnilty ho must be dismissed from the force and pro ceedings instituted to have him bound over to answer at court for tbe crime charged by Mr. Muhr."

The Chronicle praises tbe resolution. "It give positive shape to pious wishes on both sides of the Atlantic," says tbe writer, "and we sincerely hope that these wishes will bs realized." Tbe Telegraph's leader has tho samo friendly tone.

COMPANY STORES LOOTED. Tho company's stores at both Rals ton and Adrian were raided by th Huns and Italians last evening aud completely looted. Late last night the typle and a lot of mine and railroad ears at one mine were set on lire and destroyed. Tho mine is owned and operated by Jackmun & Ellsworth. While there is a great ileal of excite ment in and around this place, it is uhe general opinion that thcro will be no trouble of a surions nature. This af ternoon about one-third of the militia are marciilng through the streets of Punxsutawney carrying the cannon that they captured. It is almost a certainty that Bell, Lewis & YattS will make at attempt to start up the Walston mines tonight or tomorrow morning with now men. It is ulso the company a intention, how ever, to employ no itaiiuns either now or in the future. At the present time tbe operators of the Walston mine havo a gang of men at their mine loading slack under tbe protection of the militia. SHERIDAN CAVALRY'S CAMP.

Mauy evictions of families of strikers have abandoned all their camps and offer practically no opposition to tboso who desire to return to work. It Is thought that should today's con vention decide to continue the strike, that tho big breaks will occur at onco in tbe ranks of the strikers, many of whom are in desperate circumstances and aro thoroughly whipped by tho lung- continued Hinge of starvation and destitution. The first of next wek is looked npon a tho lime when the big irest breaks will occur.

PlTTBTON, Pa., June 22. Another tnngio in the complicated political skein which has enmeshed the proposed electric street railway proi:ctin this borough has been supplied through tbe desire of certain official friends of President of Council Mangan to enjoy transportation ovor tho contemplated trolley line without the inconvenience paying therefor. The version of this little hitch narrated by Superin -tendut Graham of tho Traction coin pauy is that several days ago President Mangan asked for three passes, one for himBelf, one for Councilman M. N. Donnelly ond one for Borough Attor ney C. Frank Bohan. Superintendent itiraham might have concurred in this request had it been the only made from oouncilmanic quarters; out ha says it was not, and broadly lnliuiates that wore he to lift the Veil on all the overtures made to him from various person occupying of ficial or semi-official positions in the government of PittstoD, there wonld hi disclosed a spectacle of voracious ness almost paralleling the findings of the Lxow committee in New York. President Siangan admits havinl' iBked for three passes, at the n quest of friends; bnt doilies having 4ono any thing worse than that, aud evidently dons not regard that request as consti tuting a heinous crime. What mikes Suporinteadont Gra ham indignant is the fact that a few lays after his rofnsul of tbe passes. sixteen of the Traction company's workmen wore arrestod and brought before President Mangan, then officia ting ns burgess in the absence of Bnr gess Maloney, and were fined $3 apiece. I. iter, when similar cases were tried bofore the real burgess, the men were discharged. Superintendent Graham's spirit writhes at this contrast, and he vows with solemn intensity that next Monday night Attorney Bedford. John C Eno and himself will go beforo council and aim ill its innocont ears with tales of thrilling woo. A GIRL TURNS A SWITCH. Twonly-flve Coal Care Wreoked and a Boy Killed.

G, Dunn & Co. Report That tho Improvement Continues Solely In Decrease of Failure New Yokk, June 22. R. G. Dun & Co. s weekly review of trade will say tomorrow: The;week hasgbeon rich in promise but poor in performance. It was confidently promised that exports 01 gold wonld cease, but tbey have not It was promised that the eud of the coal strike would bring immediate re covery of industries, bnt partial re sumption of work discloses compara tive scantiness of demand for products, while the miners of Ohio in convention have repudiated the settlement and eontinuo the strike, and in muuy local! ties it lingers, and above all the coke worm s swiKe diocks most or the iron manufacture in the central region, less thau a quarter ot tho coke ovens belnir yei mi worx. It was balteved that late ohmnaei in the tariff bill would be more satisfac tory to industries, bnt the new sehod tiles have uot yet diminished hesita tion. Ihe exports of gold havo been ijti.ioO.OUO during the week. The floed ol money from the interior, amounting to about 100, 000 for the first half of 1894 continues to show the greatly re ducod demand for funds, and at th flame time heavy liquidations in re-or ganizing railroads, especially bv for eign holders, have operated a- a mag net to draw abroad the unused coin of the country. The treaenry gold re serve is reduced lower than it was at any time in Jaunary and government proposed to ship lugal tenders to in terior points against doposits of gold in the treasury at ratB which virtually constitute a premium on gold.: It was confidently expected that the settlement of the tariff rates on textiles by the senate would improve the condi tion of textile manufacturers, but there is scarcely any evidenco of such a re sult SB yet. the large sales of cotton be ing distinctly traceable to mere weath er conditions and to further conce sious by sellers. Wool is less active und rather weaker, with salos equal to abont last year for the same week last yonr. There is much disappointment that tho partial termination of the coal strike does not promptly enlarge the demaud for Iron and steel products, which is evidently too narrow, us yet, to support much increase of produc tion, western orders are compara tively liberal, though much smaller than in other years, but no improve ment is seen at Philadelphia, while in tbe centrHi region the continuing coko strike strino and grave uncertainty bout the July settlement of iron work era' wages causes much hesitation Tho shoe industry appears to fare bet ter than others in quantity of produc tion, though mainly In the low priced goods, for which most of tho manufac turers have orders reaching woll into tho future, while tbe medium goods are greatly neglected. Tho volume of domestic trade, mou- sured by clearings, shows nounportaut change, Compared with 1802 tbo de creets is 18.3 per cent, outside of Now York and 24.4 per oent. at all points. The improvement continues in failure returns, which were 214 in tho United States against 273 last year, and 23 in Canada against 14 lant year, WASHINGTON BRIEFS.
