rrnctlces Among Ills Fellows.
New Yohk, Oct. 20. Pollco Commis
sioner Sheehan wan the star witness at yes
terdny's session of tho Loxow committee
Tho news that Jlr. Shoehan would nppeaf
on tho stand spread rapidly throughout
tho city, nnd long beforo tho nftornoon blS'
slon was oallcd to order a big crowd
blooked tho passagoway leading to the
court room.
In tho forenoon Wnrdmnn Coonoy was
called to tho stand nnd questlonod about
his relations with Mrs. Hermann the
witness who was arrested In Jorsoy City
on Wednosdny. Ho denied In detail that
she hnd over given him money, a gold
watch or a diamond ring, or that she had
kissed him. Tho wardman was certain It
was some other Cooney who was to have
received the gold watch.
In reply to Mr. Goff tho witness aaldthnt
ho tried several times to get evldenca
against Mrs. Hermann, at No. 139 West
Third street.
"How did you try to get evidencor" "1
went up to the door, rang tho boll, and
wouldn't bo let In. Thoy know mo and
would not open tho door."
Tho witness said he had not seen Mrs.
Hermann for throe years. He again de
nied ho had beon to the Grand Central
depot with Mrs. Hermann.
"Do you mean to swear that you had no
knowledge of Mrs. Hermann's leaving
New York?" "I do." .
"You are Innocent of anything connected
with Mrs. Honuannf" Yes, sir, I am."
"Did you ovor hear that tho wardman
Was a oollector for a captain?" "No, sir,
except when I read It In tho nowspnpors."
"Don't you know that when you give ma
such an unswor that you are lying?" "I
do not, sir."
"How many disorderly houses wcro in
tho Fifteenth precinct whon you were
wardman thoro?" "I don't remember."
Mr. Goff tried In vain to Jog tho momory
of tho witness In regnrd to tho figures and
datos. Ho also asked him If ho had ovol
arrested a burglar, and Coonoy said he had
arrested a burglar who had broken Into a
saloon kept by a man called King, at tha
cornor of Mercer and llleeckcr streets.
Mr. Goff also questioned him about tha
case of u man named Palmer, who wbJ
robbed of J6U0 In a "panel house" In Me
Dougall street. "I rcmcmbor tho ease,"
said Cooney.
"Did you mnko an arrest?" "No, sir.
Thoro was nobody in when I called."
"How much of tho shake down of tha
$500 did you got?" "I did not got any."
"Is It not a common practice for the po
liceman to get 60 percent?" "I novor hoard
of it until 1 read it In tho newspapers."
Promptly upon tho anhcmbllng of the
committee after recess Mr. Goff conforred
with tho ohuirman a moment and then
called: "Commissioner Sheehan."
Mr. Sheehan nt oneo took tho stand, but
beforo he could bo sworn Senator Cuntci
mado a vigorous protest against tho exam
ination of the commissioner on tho ground
that his publie duties nccosHltatod his ap
peurauco at police headquarters. At first
Air. Goll oxcuscd blieelian until this morn
ing, as tho commissioner had informed
him that it was necessary for him to at
tend a meeting of tho pollco board. Sen
ator Canter added that tho examination of
tho commissioner bo postponed until after
eloctlou. Mr. Uoli rofusod this. Then
Commissioner Sheehan said that if ho
must appear toduy ho might as well be ex
amined at once and have it over with. Mr.
Goff said: "Very wull, the testimony will
bo proceeded with nt onco."
Mr. Goff thou questioned tho commis
sioner as to tho location of tho different
station houses in his district. Tho com
missioner's answers wcro given after some
hesitation and attempts to refer to u small
directory, which Mr. Goff objected to. Ao
cording to Mr. Golf's recapitulation of
bhoonan's answers tho latter failed to cor
rectly locate two of his station housos, ai
won as police licauquartcrs.
"Dous your mind get mlxod up with tha
streets of uullalo anil tho streets of Now
York?" asked Mr. Goff. "No, sir," re
plied the commissioner.
Mr. Goff then elicited from tho wltnosi
tho facts that ho hnd como from U11IT..I0 to
this city about olght years ago upon assur
ance that ho would bo given n publie posi
tion. Ho denied that ho had ever acted M
attornoy for tho Gould ostato or that ho
represented tho Gould interest.
Questioned about his law proctico Mr.
Sheehan said tho bulk was in consulta
tion, and that ho drew n roveuuo from it
of $1,000 to $3,000 n J-car. Mr. Shoehan said
most of his timo was spent at 'headquar
ters, and although his partnor was now in
Europe tho business did not in any way In
terfere with his duties as police commis
sioner. He said he was a member of tho
llriu of John C. Shoehan & Co., composed
of John O'lirleu and himself. This llrm
was doing a business in Long Island City,
the contracts of which amounted to about
i00,000.
After some sparrlug botweon Mr. Goff
and tho commissioner with regard to In
spector Williams' connection with tho
Long Island City contracts and his efforts
to sucuro a commlssiouership nn adjourn
ment was taken.
Commissioner Shoehan did not care
about going on tho stuud today. Ho said
hU business ut police hoadqunrters was too
pressing. Mr, Goff would not oxcuso him.

FOOLING TBljyL i'EB ANS .
A Hold urrort to Hold Old Soldiers Who
Have lUen Turning from tha
Democratic l'nrty.
Signs are not wanting that tho ponslon
office at Washington Is being used lately
to assist n numlier of Democratic candidates
for congress by holding out promises of
early settlement of tho claims of old
soldiers who hiiro for months appealed In
vain for n first consideration of their cases.
An ovldcnco of tho fact is presented by a
correspondent of tho Philadelphia Press
writing from Carlisle, Pa., a fowdays ogo
Tho correspondent Fays:
Sir: Last Faturday's Pross contained
information of tho frantlo efforts of In
dlnna Democratic politicians to "round
up" the soldi-ir vote jif that state. The
fact that the ftatement was consldi-red of
Interest by Tim Press urges the writer to
call attention to Flmilnr meth-xls being
employed to strengthen tho wvnk candi
dacy of P.H. f'ttubingcr, the congressional
nominee of the Democrats of tho Nino
tccnth illstrtrt.
Scon after the party nominations were
made tho De-nocrntlc workers, alarmed nt
tho lnok of euthniiasm with which the
nomination of Strublngor was received,
and knowing particularly tho disaffection
of soldiers to tho wholo ticket in Cumber
land county, quietly notified nil those hav
ing claims for pension ponding (of which
thero nro many in tills locality), If they
would leave tho numbers of their claims
at headquarters of tho county chairman
their Interests might bo materially ad
vanced. As was to bo oxpectcd, many bo
latcd and worthy claimants of tho govern
ment's provided bounty eagerly sought
tho Democratio headquarters and presented
to County Chairman McCrea tho numbers
of their claims, to bo forwarded to Wash
ington, and through this means reeolvo
special attention.
A number of replies hnvo already been
received by tho Intended dnpos, and the
short spaco of timo required to receive
thorn shows plainly that tho pension au
thorities nro on tho alert. In fact, tho
promptness has excited suspicion, and ouo
old vet, who has been an opplicont for pon
slon over twenty years, remarked that ho
"novor got a reply so quick," und that
"politics was a good agent."
Tho replies from tho pension offlco aro
addressed to "Hon. P, II. Strnbingor, Al
bottstown, Pa.," and by him forwarded to
W. II. McCrea, Carlisle, Pa., who turns
them over to the claimants ns they arrive.
Tho following Is 0110 among sovernl of
tho replies received. It is verbatum, ox
eept tho name of tho applicant is omitted.
Tho forms are printed and differ, but nono

Tho old soldiers will not bo victimized
by any schenio of this character. They aro
too intelligent nnd have too much regard
for their honor, which has only been ques
tioned by Democrats, nnd tho few among
them who hnvo heretofore voted tho Dem
ocratic tloket will not voto that way this
year. Tholr minds aro mado up, and tho

Hiannkr, Xeb., Oct. 26. Tills week has
lieen n direful nno In a large portlou of tin'
sand hills. DovustntlnKurtwBwopt through
the western part of Cherry and Grant
counties, buriilnvf on the north side of the
Durllngton nnd Missouri rallwny track to
within about four miles of Mamie.
Lashed on by a furious wlud the fires
traveled at a pace that carried consterna
tion ns well as destruction.
The flro north of tho railroad was set
the first of the week by a man ntld his
pipo, about ten miles north of Alliance
Tho man was int xlcnted, and in filling
and lighting Ills plpo threw the burning
match on the ground, where It Ignited th
grass. In an instant a fire started, which,
funned by the northwest wind, at ouce set
out ou Its mission of destruction.
It is reported that two men wero fatally
burned at Mullen. Ono Is dead and the
other is lying In n critical condition, and
will dlo.
At about tho samo time another lire
started on tho south side of tho traok,
burning everything from Lakesldti to tha
Blue river. At present tho flro is largely
conflnod to tho Isolated districts of Sheri
dan, Grant, Thomas and Cherry counties.
Little information is obtainable, as tbu
fire is swept by a high wlud, first In oua
dlreotlon, then in another, but tho loss Ij
known to bo heavy.
Tho fatalities known are ns follows, but
unverified rumors doclnro many raneh
men wore lost: E. L. Lochoro, ranchman,
caught by flames while trying to save hU
homoj Georgo miss, brother-in-law of Lo
choro ; two unknown men.
In Sheridan county tho fire has burned
over forty miles of ground, and is still
burning. Tho homes and stock of two
men wero burned, and their cattle range
mined. It will roqulro thousands of dol
lars to repair tho great damage of the fire.
Nothing like tho ruin has happened for
years.
At Bedford, ten miles south, citizens
wero out until a lato hour last night bum
lug flro guards, and nt this time the town
Is considered safe unless tho fire should
como in north of tho strip burned over on
Wednesday. Tho wlud Is blowing nt tiiu
rato of sixty miles an hour and grave foari
of flro aro entertained, as tho atmosphere
is full of snioko and cinders.
Hundreds of thousands of cattlo aro
grazing in Cherry, Thomas, Grout and
other counties where thoso fires aroragimr
Theso cattlo wero sent thoro from tun
southern part of tho stato, where tha
drought has boon felt so hoavily, and were
taken to the northern counties to grnzofor
the winter. It is feared a large proportion
ot theso cattle have perished in tho names.
It is almost impossible to got any definite
information concerning the Arcs, as they
are nt some distaut-o from tho railway sta
tion. Tho loss to tho farmers and stock raisers
will bo great, and tho situation will bu
hard to bear this winter. It will bo sev
eral days before any definite details as to
tho loss of life and property will bo known.

pain at my heart, which lluttercd al
most Incessantly. I had no appetite

that every mlnuto would be my last
There was a fcclling of oppression
about my heart, and I was afraid to
draw a full breath. I could not sweep
a room without resting. Sly hus

me. I now have a splendid appetite?
