“I believe something of the kind was
brought before the hoard, but I do
not know whit wu» done."
"You found you could enforce or

"Ye*. »lr,"
'•And policemen can enforce orders
without tho use of club*?”
■They can, *lr."
■•Do you »*y the police department

"It is In a had oondltlon.
"Can you. ns superintendent, effect

"So, jSr. Jf Or man was not a Strong

"Did yon knowingly oppose Dr.
Parkhurat when ho wan trying to sup

"1 never opposed anybody trying to

SOME DIRECT QUESTIONS.
Mr. Goff then asked the sunertntend-

Jay Gould had made 1130.000 for him.
and since Jay Gould's death hi* son

hut Byrne* declined to turn* aav ath.
ei«. He said:
• I had opportunities as superintend
ent of police for earning the gratitude
of men who could give me valuable
information on stocks."
"Is It not strange where you simply
perfumed your duty as a police official
such remarkable result* should fol
low?"
"No, sir."
FRIENDLY TOWARD THE DOCTOR
Questioned as to Dr. Farkhuret:
"I have nothlne but friendly feeilnga
for the doctor and hla sotffety. Al
though he haa pounded mo to every
way pawilWe, Dr. mrkbursi has cre
ated a public spirit in the city, with-
‘out which the reforms could not have
been effected."
The superintendent said be knew
that when he wit* promoted corruption
prevailed in the police department.
"Nothing went by merit." said he.
Everything was either by political In
fluence or through paying money for
promotion. To Dr. Parkhurat i» due
chiefly the credit of cron ting tbo
healthy feeling we see today. No ono
man could bring tills reform about. I
myself did a little toward that end.
I drove the keepers of disorderly
houses from place to place and kept
them on the run. I made It possible
for this committee to get evidence.
There was loud applause as he con
cluded this statement
“is It a fact that but tor the efforts of
Dr. Parkhurst and tho committee the
corruption would have still existed?
"I oojild not have stayed It akme.
"Had you the power?"
"No. sir."
The superintendent said he could not
detail men without the consent of the
commi salonen*. .
Hut It was Martin and Sheehan who
twtlfled you were the executive head?
"I could not df'tntt a single officer
without the consent of the board. If
a mati on Broad way a rrima
I could not H^nd hton uf>
If I had adequate powers and the police
force wmh In tho condltion.

M'LAUOHUN'8 GAINS,
lnspeotor McLaughlin was alas exam
ined as to his gains. A'fA?” 1 ?"
slons, Mr. Goff figured out that McLaugh
lin Is worth 1133.0A but McLaughlin dis
puted the correctnew of this conclusion,
making the amount 11(8,000. McLaughlin
stated that he mad* M*.000 out of a pat

his brother-in-law for lea* than *2,W, end
had made the rest of hla money In real es
tate speculations. 111. wife also, hs said
was a Kucccwful builnew worrmn. As
to the nature ot her *>«*»•• .ft* .‘“5X
tor wiui very reticent and Goff intimated
broadly that she was en*fa*«d In —curing
appointmenti* on the bollco forco, lor
which she rKelved pay.
Capt. ltyan was put through tho cruel-
bis also, but he seems to be the poorest
of all the poilco captains, and be was not
long detained.
Capt. Martens did not produce his wife
In oourt a* he had been directed to do,
explaining thut she waa sick. Mr. Ool
did not accept the explanation sa being
made In good faith and he gave Marlene
another aarcnatlc raking over.
M BAKIN WAS ABSENT. •
Capt. Meaklna waa called, but ho did
not appear, and Mr. Goff aaid:
"We triad to subpoena Capt. Mcakln
laat night, but failed. He has been ac
cused of being the chief protector ot the
green goods men In this city. They fol
lowed him nround from one precinct to.
another to got his protection. Capt. Mea-
kln haa also tho reputation of bolng the
richest captain on tho force. Ho Uvea In
a 125,000 house and three servants waif
at hla door. I openly charge him with
having pollcomen, catiientera and plumb-
era working at his country house in Tar-
rytownand at the same tlmo drawing
their pay from the city. 1 also state that
a wurdman of his who was In Bloomlng-
dala suffering from paralysis drew hla
pay every month."
Tho proceedings closed with a long ad
dress from Mr. Goff.
He praised Mr. Mona and Mr. Travers
Jerome for the assistance they had given
him sad concluded b yeaying:
•pu aaniuiunw aq: euojaq 'sou him t„
Journa, asks If then, in anybody who
wishes to bo heard. If . there la let him
come forward and not wait until we havo
adjourned."
Mr. Goff received a great cheer as he
concluded.
Chairman Lexow then remarked that
the committee would fittingly thank Mr.
Goff and hla colleagues when they got to
Albany. Tho senator made a speech re.
viewing the entire proceedings and con
gratulating tho clly on tho good work
accomplished.

GEORGIA TO THE RESCOE.
Not One, bat Several Train loads ot
Grain Will lie Gent to
Nebraska.
MACON TAKE8 THE LEADING STEP
Tha Gaorgl*Southern and Florida. Iloari
Hake* (ha First Contribution, and
That la » Car Load of Corn-
Others Will Follow.
Old Georgia Is the first state la tie
Union to respond to the cry for help
from far away, suffering, starving Ne
braska, and within 'the next day or
two a whole trsln load, and in all prob
ability several train loads, of com and
provisions will be flying over the rails
to tho tor West
All of the Southern roads will haul
contributions free, bat It was left for
the Georgia Southern and Florida to
make the Aral donation. This dona
tion is a carload of corn and will be
sent as soon as directions where to ship
can be received.
Yesterday Receiver W. B. Sparks tel
egraphed to <R. H. ‘Edmonds of the
Manufacturers’ Record ab Baltimore,
telling him ithrt the Georgia Southern
would contribute a carload of com to
the Nebraska sufferers and adtlng for
directions where to send ft. The fol
lowing is the reply received from Mr.
Edmonds:
“Baltimore, Md., Dec. 29.—Sir. W.
B. Sparks, Receiver Georgia Southern
and Florida Railroad—Yours la first
contribution. Will advise a» to ship
ment later. R. B. Edmonds."
Thus it will ibe seen that Georgia and
Macon make the first contribution to
the Nebraska sufferers, and it will be
no surprise if Macon alone sends a
whole train load ot grain. It would
be Just like iMaoon to do It, and by each
wholesale denier In grain making a
small contribution it could be easily
done. Yesterday a Telegraph reporter
incidentally spoke of! tint Georgia
Southern’s contribution In the presence
of a firm of leading brokers, and both
members of file firm immediately said
they would make a contribution of corn.
Macon is not rich, but she Is fortunate
in being populated by a generous-
hearted people, who aro always ready
to divide with those in distress, no mat
ter if they are far away, when tho cry
of ’dlstrows roaches their oars till sec
tional lines aro obliterated : 'atad they
know no north, no cast, no-bveat, no
south. ' f ?
Tho following circular has' been Is
sued by the Georgia Southern and Is
now being sent out along the lino of
road:
For Suffering Nebraska—Contribu
tions of Corn and Meet Solicited.—lu
view of tho groat destitution reported
from Nebraska because of tha almost
total failure of the com crop, tho main
dependence of tho state, it has been
suggested that the South contribute a
solid train of corn and nicut. und ship
It to Nebraska', to bo distributed among
those In distress.
Nothing that the South could do
would do more to cement the feelings
of friendship between tho South and
tho North, and nothlug dlse would so
impriws the country with the blessings
that tho South enjoys in tho abundance
of Its supply of grain and provisions.
It would also be a fitting recognition
of the generosity sEawn by the people
of the North to 'the South to its days
of distress.
The section traversed by tho.Georgia
Southern snd Florida railway lias been
blessed this year with un abundant
crop of corn and lto meat houses aro
well filled. Believing that the people
along Its Hue will gladly avail them
selves of an opportunity to contribute
from their abundance to ullovlatb the
dire distress of those In tho Northwest,
the management of tho Georgia South
ern and Florida railroad offers to take
charge of uR contributions and see that
they ore transported and delivered to
llio proper parties for didtrbution. A11
contributions can be left with our
agents at any tlmo before Tbupday,
January 10, 1S95, on which day a oar
will tie sent along the I nc to take up
contributions.
Wo earnestly urge upon every one to
contribute someihing to this worthy ob
ject, no matter how little. A bushel of
corn or u aide of bacon can easily be
spared from your abundance, and such
a contribution by every ono along tho
line nvouid alleviate tho distress of
many families. Lot us show to the
world that wo appreciate our blessings,
and with genuine Southern hospitality
stand ready to aharo thorn with our less
fortunate neighbor's. J- Lane,
General Manager.
W. L. Glessner,
Commissioner of Immigration.
The Telegraph Is Informed that tho
Macon and Northern Is getting out a
similar circular sad will ship all con
tributions free.

GLADSTONE !A/T EIGHTY-FIVE,
Englamd’a Great Statesman Is SUM In
Vigorous Health,
London, Deo. 29.—Mr. Gladstone
oeiebraltad (his 85to birtllday today and
waa ithe recipient of hundreds of let
ters and telegrams of congratulation
and birthday presents.
•Mr. Gladstone was in remarkably
good health and spirits, nnd, despite
todtatoreny weather, drove (through toe
village of Ha ward on to toe church,
where Ihe met a deputation of Arme
nian Christians from Paris and Lon
don. On behalf of Mr. Gladstone the
deputation presented, a silver chalice
tb dho ohureh.
Mr. Gladstone In his reply to toe
deputation’s address said rhat it was
not toeir duty to assume riiat all toe
alldgaltTons of outrages were true, but
rather to await toe resu'.: of the In
quiry Which had been instituted. How
ever, he sold toe published acoxunta
pointed Utrongly «o the conclusion tont
the outrages, sins and abominations
comnvltrcd fn 1876 In (Bulgaria biad
been repented in 1894 In Armenia'. If
tola were (true, it was time toat (there
should be one general Moot of execra
tion against these deeds ot wickedness
from outraged humanity. If to* facts
were established it should be written
In loStens of Iron upon too records of
toe world toat ta government wnlch
could be guilty of counten'raclng arid
covering up such abrocltieo was n dis
grace to Mahomet the Prophet, a dis
grace Ito civilization ait large and a
direynaco to mankind.
Mr. Gladstone, continuing, eaM:
•‘Don’* let me be fold that ore ra
tion bus no control over artoher. Ev
ery nacOon and every human being
has autoority In behalf of humanity
and Justice."
Ho had been Blierit, he raid, because
he had full confidence that 'the gov
ernment knew its duties. If toe allega
tions mode should be true it is (time
that toe execration of humanity should
force itself upon toe ears of the euttam
of Turkey, and make him sensible of
tho madness of suoh a course as wus
being pursued.
Mr. Gladstone spoke for a quarter
df on hour. He was reairkably delib
erate in his delivery and vigorous in
action amd gestures and was loudly
cheered as he concluded his remarks.
