TP: V' 3 16 THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1898. YOKE, WHO KNOWS JOHNNIE SMITH McKI LEY CONGRATULATED L0 DEMOCRATS SOLID LEAGUE RALLY, REPUBLICAN EDITORS CALL 01 ROOSEVELT. MILNE'S CLEAN START. Two Other Indictments Against Him Are Dismissed by Consent.

Judge Hurd in the County Court afternoon dismissed two indictments against former Assistant Engineer Frederick Milne. Milne was employed in the Department of Water Supply at the time Theodore B. Willis was at the head of the City Works Department. There were three indictments against Milne. They charged him with falsely and corruptly auditing bills for work done on Neptune avenue.

He pleaded guilty to one of the indictments and whs sentenced to six PROFESSOR DENTON Was One of the Queerest Characters in Brooklyn. ONCE "WORTH OVER Recently, However, Denton Tramped About the City Decorated With Flags and Medals and Claimed to Be the Champion Gin Fizz Drinker of the World Death Probably the Result of His Attempt to Eat Glass. Albert Allen Denton, better known as Professor Denton, died at 140 Ten Byek street, In the Eastern District, yesterday. Denton liver a strange, turbulent, and perhaps one of the oddest lives in Greater New York. He was a character In every sense of the word.

Wherever people sanr him they knew and usually remarked, "Oh, that's Professor Denton." He ws a man of medium height and wore a jet black full beard. He was invariably dressed in a uniform which somewhat resembled that of 'the Grand Army of the Republic, with modifications peculiar co himself. One deviation was a glossy uM silk hat and another shoes of white leather. Over a score of badges and medals usually hung on his coat fron't, giving him a peculiar appearance. He was a frequenter of bar rooms and a great talker.

Yet it was never known that he went into those places for the sole purpose of drinking. His particular occupation was distributing circulars for an Eastern District weekly newspaper. While doing this the patrons, noticing his striking appearance, very often asked him to drink. He was never known to have refused the offer, and lat'terly became an inveterate drinker of gin fizz. Latterly he became so much addicted to this that he wore a printed Inscription among the other decorations on his breast which read, "Professor Denton, the champion gin fizz drinker in America." As a result the patron of bar rooms never failed to suppiy him with the favorite drink.

He is known to have partaken of as many as forty glasses of gin fizz in a single day. Yet there is no one who ever saw the' professor intoxicated. He was of an active turn of mind, which to some of his friends seemed a form of men tal aberration. While his talk was usually I and thirtieth, annual banquet of the chamber radical or socialistic he was usually so glib I kC e.lmonic's on Tuesday evening, Novem ii ter i0 next. The Organization and the Club Working Together TO MAKE IT A BIG SUCCESS.

Thousands of Men "Will Parade on Saturday Night The Young Republican Club Hard at Work for Its Big Meeting Next "Week The Justiceship Fight Still Unsettled Hugo Hirsh a New Candidate. The Republican campaign will be started on Saturday evening with a blare of trumpets and a grand parade. The cause or this demon stratlon is the welcome which the Union League Club will give to the Republican nominees on that evening. To make it all that could be desired the campaign committee to day sent notices to all the executive members, requesting them to get together the members of organizations and of political clubs to participate in the parade and the reception. This is the first time, for some years past, that the Union League Club has ueeu accoru wiui tue oiBmiiuUu and the club has regained considerable of its lost status by recognizing the work of the organization.

The Young Republican Club is aleo In line, preparing for a grand rally and active cooperation with the regular organization, and 11 Liie laiiiptugu will ue in mil uioL. i day it was stated that campaign banners would be swung in every ward in the city and meetings would be held to make the banner raisings effective. mistion of the solrvt ion nnminees for 1us tiiee of the Supreme Court. The Republicans recognize that the Democrats have named recognize that the Democrats nave nam ed two strong. men for tlle and no one men of high standing to defeat them.

The Preponderance of opinion to day was that Johnson and Ward would be named, but it 'has r. ot been settled so far as Mr. Ward is concerned. The Russell people say It would be odd to nominate 'Mr. Ward ana nave n.im running against his stepson, Alm et F.

Jenks, one of the Democratic nominees. Congressman Israel F. Fischer said this momlnc: "I am in favor of the nomination of Charles H. Russell. He is a good man for the position." This demonstrates that the Congressman is standing by the agreement that the Twenty sixth Ward would be with the Twenty fourth Ward i)f it was 'with im In the Congressional fight.

This now combination, consistang of the Twenty third, Twenty fourth, Twenty fifth and Twenty sixth Wards is a very large an powerful ooonhination in Republican politics and it is now backing up Russell and will continue to do so unless pressure is brought to hear upon it. That will be decided upon to day. M. J. Dady, chairman the Republican executive committee, came down from Albany where he has been to see Governor Black, but had failed in mission, and with Walter B.

Atterbury took ne midnight train to Washington to see Senator Thomas C. Piatt to talk over the situation. Senator Piatt is not in favor cf the nomination of Russell. He Is not particularly in favor of the nomination of any one else, but he has personal objection to Russell, and has so stated to several people who have talked with him about the situation. It dates back to the was f1 efe a naur ut lu um uuuMing iiut in it.

Russell called upon Senator Piatt and was told by the Senator, so he says, that the uld be left enurely to itself, that however, M. J. Dady, avors the nomination of Ward and At r.eilmrv whn nrnmisefl his Sllnnmv tn Russell, took the midnight train to Wash ington to see Senator Piatt, so that they might ascertain his sentiments, which will have, without doubt, a decidin effect upon the candidacy of Russell. Quarantine Commissio oner Schroeder said tbjs morning: "We are going to win. It is in the air.

Everybody I meet says this is a Republican year. I am of the opiniou that tne judicial ticket will be Johnson and Ward." Horace Graves, who is working in the interest of Russell, said he believed Russell would win, while George F. Elliott was equally confident it would be Ward, whom he said now had a majority of the Brooklyn delegates pledged to him. Hugo Hirsch this morning announced he was in the race for the nomination and he can depend upon the four Buttling votes. In the event of a close contest these four votes may be valuable.

Buttling secured them by capturing the Second Ward delegation, which was supposed to be a rock bound Dady delegation. There Is a story going around that Dady expected to be nominated for Assembly in the First District and that Sanford, who was nominated, was expected to throw delegates to him, but could not carry out the agreement. Friends of Mr. Dady say ie did think 7 mat Be would be a but when the convent on time camie round iouna so many candidates in the field that he decided to keep out of His choice in the convention was Ralston or Wagstaff. Rals ton decided he did net want the nnmlnmlnn 'or JUSTICE VAN WYCK.

Almost to a rain the dis tinguished leaders of the movement in the Democratic party have come out emphatically for the Syracuse ticket. Itoswell I'.

"So far as I am informed, every gold Democrat I know will vote for Van Wyck. Except possibly." ho added after a moment's ipause, "a scattering vote or so for an independent t'eket in case Osborne, Hendricks and others should remain upon it." As to the possibility of the silver men taking an active part in the campaign as a separate faction of the Democracy, Mr. Warner Baid: "There is no chance of the silver movement in this state unless one is gotten up and paid for by the Piatt machine, as it will ibe remembered was done last year Republican heelers throughout the state executing the denomination petition by which it was attempted to keep silver candidates in the field, all of which was exposed in the and in the courts at the time." Mr. Warner said that he had talked with many gold Democrats of eminent standing and to him every one had expressed the utmost satisfaction with the state ticket. With Justice Van Wyck not the slightest dissatisfaction is expressed.

A VERDICT FOR S200. A sealed verdict for $200 was hao in I I I i He Is a Brooklyn Boy, Adrift in Salem. Detective Sergeant James Kelly, who looks after lost relatives and does odd jobs in the way of huntiing up missing persons, has been searching for some time for the relatives of Johnnie Smith, aged 6 years, who Is at present a guest of one of the members of the editorial staff of the Salem News, Salem, Mass. The boy was found wandering la Salem and the police took possession of him. He told an interesting story about himself and said that Ms parents had moved recently from Brooklyn, N.

Y. thait while there he lived on Henry street; that his father and motji er weat to a Universalist Church, of which the Rev. Mr. Goodwin was minister, and that his parents were somewhere in the Staite of Massachusetts. There is a belief thait the boy was romancing.

He Is as bright as a button, rlt is said, and the probability is that he has run away from home somewhere. The detective has searched all through Henry street and also North Henry street, in the Eastern District, but without finding any trace of any person who knoW3 Johnnie Smith. There its no Mr. Goodwin the minister of any Universalist Church. KNAPP'S TRIAL POSTPONED.

Justice Hirschberg Agrees to Xert It Go Over Until Fielding's Oase Is Decided. A motion by former Justice N. H. Clement, counsel for Oscar Knapp, who Is under indictment on three separate charges of felony for alleged connivance in his official capacity as head of the Water Purveyor's in the City Works Department, came on before Justice Hirshberg in Part I of the Supreme Court this morning for the postponement of the trial of Knapp. The trial of Knapp had been noticed by District Attorney Marean for Monday next, and the DKstrlct Attorney was in court to oppose the application for a postponement.

As to the reason for the application Judge Clement said that it was the same as that on the application for a postponement made by him ln June last before Justice Smith and granted by his honor. That reason. Judge Clement said, could not be better stated than In a report in the Brooklyn Dally Eagle, written at the time of the granting of the motion. The judge then proceeded to read the report, wJhich showed that the reason for the granting of the motion in June was that the case against Knapp was almost Identical with that against Robert Fielding, who had been convicted of feC ony and sentenced to two and a half years and to pay a fine, that Fielding's case was on appeal and no real progress would be made by pushing the Knapp trial before the Fielding appeal had heen decided. The present application for a postponement was made on the same grounds.

It was not made on account of a sickness of Knapp last June and was not made on that account now. District Attorney Marean said that there was in his opinion no reason why the motion should he granted, as. the cases were not parallel. If the parties were the same then the "court might postpone the trial. Tbe fact was that the case against Knapp is stronger than that aga'lnst Fielding, as Fielding depended on Knapp for authority In signing vouchers.

Arter further argument Justice Hirschberg said that he would follow the decision of Justice Smith and grant an adjournment until the Fielding case was decided. THE WEATHER. INDICATION TILL 8 P. M. TO MOBKOW.

ROOSEVEIT ON COL. GABDINEB. Quotes a Nursery Rhyme as His Comment on the District Attorney's Action in Leaving the Loyal Legion Dinner Last Night He Will Speak to the Editors at the Union League Club To night Elihu Boot to Entertain Them at a "Smoker." Theodore Roosevelt, the dynamic Rough Rider, was in 'the campaign racket ait the Fifth Avenue this morning up to his eyes.

The Colonel 1b getting more picturesque every day and Ms unique aspect as he charged into headquamers early to day ratiher outdoes his war time make up. He has doffed tlhe yellow campaign hat for a yellower and ugly one, such as the farmers in tihe hack counties we'ar, and this last piece of headgear has been dmbbed by the Democrats as the poliitlcal campaign bait. The Colonel In hfs energetio fasftlon goes all oyer the Fifth Avenue Hotel bareheaded, bu't his new hat reposes prominently on dhe center table in his private room, the piece de resistance of the apartment. The Colonel put in a busy day. All the Republican editors in 'tlhe state who could get away from Caome called on him in a body.

They surged into the Fifth Avenue Hotel 'about noon, eighty five strong, and were eorraled in a large reception room on the opposite side of tlhe hctel from that in widen the Republican headquarters Is located. A committee of two editors went in to tell Chairman Odell tlhat tihe other editors were waiting to see 'tlhe new candidate for governor. Colonel Roosevelt was engaged ln talking to some twenty visitors at the time, but Chairman Odell never keeps the up state editors waiting. "Colon el," he said, in his most businesslike voice, "the editors are waiting and you must come right away." "Yes, yes, I'm comiing," he said, and ha waved the others aside. On his way out a half dozen visitors grabbed him and he answered their questions on the move.

"Colonel," he was asked by the Eagle representative, "have you anything to say about the action of Colonel Asa Bird Gardiner la leaving the Loyal Legion dinner last night because you came In and made a speech?" "Nothing," he said; then a smile breaking across his countenance, he added, it reminds me of the little nursery verse: "Alonig came a spider And sat down beside her, And frightened little iss Muffet away." The Colonel grinned broadly and added to his most seductive fashion, "But little Mis Muffet was in very little danger If she had only known." The editors roared at the Colonel's clever way of disposing of the incident. John P. Slawson, editor of the Middletown Press and president of the Republican Editors Association, (presented Colonel Roosevelt to the as seanibded editors as "Our next Governor." The editors gave a mighty and followed this up with three cheers and a tiger for "Teddy." Colonel Roosevelt was introduced to every one of the editors and had a pleasant, word for each. President Slawson did the intro dTOin amd Chairman Odell stood on Colonel Roosevelt's right and shook hands too. Some of the edUtors Colonel Roosevelt had met be fore and to those he igave his usual hearty greeting.

To the young men of the party he gave a specially warm greeting. The editors all gave a glowing account of the state of feeling in their pairts of the state. "The Independents are all going to vote for you, Colonel," they assured hhn. "Gooa good, that's 'good," he said. To night Colonel Roosevelt will speak to the editors at the smoker to 'be 'given in their honor iat the Union Learue Oluh.

The affair is beln engineered by Elihu Root, president of the club, and Oolcmel Roosevelt's eligibility attorney. Other speeches are expected. Senator Plaitt has not been around headquarters ln the last two days. He has been ill and went down to Washington yesterday. William Barnes, is doing heavy work for the committee and is making an ahle second to Chairman Odell.

He made himself as pleasant to the editors as a basket at peaches, being one of them himself. Colonel Roosevelt is (laving a time with the editors of campaign buttons. Not less than six of them called on him t'ais morning. He received them all with distinguished consideration and entered into a discussion of the relative merits of Montauk and civilian pictures wijh as much earnestness as though the result in New York County depended on it. "I don't Kke this oae," be said with a 'aeavy fro wn, referring to the picture which is on all the campaign banners and all the campaign literature extant.

"I don't like it. That Montauk one," referring to a picture in which he sat proudly astride of a bronco and gazing out to sea from ontauk. hat'B a good one. Or this civilian picture by Rock wood ubat's a good one." The Colonel has heen very busy with the Photographers and he divides his pbotograpMc career into three eras Civilian, Montauk and after Montauk. All the pictures in the latter class represent him in every style of cavalry attire, mounted, standing, walking, sitting, talking, sbooitng, charging, etc.

Th Colonel's photographs are to play a big part ln the campaign and tbis morning the matter of which one should be the campaign picture was left to the judgment of Chairman Odell. Colonel Roosevelt will go to Oyster Bay to morrow and make ready for his speech at the UnHon League Club in Brooklyn Saturday nigbt. That and the speech to the editors to night are the only two speeches he Is scheduled to make this week. AN AfFEBAY ON SHIPBOARD.

The gold Democrats have no separate i orgaulzation this yea. i 1 i i I i I 1 imu en veiseu in tne topics oi uae dav by reading the newspapers t'hat there were few of his hearers who ever ventured to contradict him. If they did they usually got the worst of the argument. Outside barrooms Denton was known to the pu'blie la other ways. While riding on street cars he invariably rang a small hell which he carried In his waistcoat pooket.

His favorite seat was usually beside the motorman or driver, in the old days, and while on the car t'he use of a gong was generally unnecessary. The motormen usually laughed at his quick witted actions while he generally kept the passengers ln convulsions by his smart talk. The police never interfered with Denton, nor was he known to have ever been arrested. He usually jumped off the cars with the agility of a 9 year old boy and saluted the passengers as he left. Then he would proceed about his business of delivering circulars.

At one time Denton attracted some notice by making a bet in the office of e. Manhattan sporting paper that he would drink more gin fizzes ln a given time dbaa any man in America. Within the past few weeks Denton has not been seen in the streets much, although he maintained good health. He made several bets a month ago in Eastern District barrooms in relation to his capacity for liquor. He won nearly all the bets made, hut there were some people who wagered tftat while Denton was under the influence o'f liquor that he could not eat glass as well as drink the liquor.

Den con is known to have taken up these bets, occasionally, and had a trick of chewing or breaking the biass from which he drank, with his teeth. He did this very frequently, and told some friends confidentially that he had swallowed some pieces of broken glass. Whether the statement be true or not Denton appeared last Monday afternoon In front of Undertaker Schlitz's establishment in Moore street and told him that he had had eleven hemorrhages during the day. Denton was spitting blood at the tKme and said that he thought the hemorrhages had resulted from swallowing broken pieces of glass. Mr.

Moore gave Denton a quarter as he had done on many occasions before. Denton appeared at his home, 140 Ten Eyck street, a little later in the evening. The house is a hotel kept by Mrs. Carolina Mcrdick, with a barroom on the street floor. Denton had a small hall room upstairs for the past four years.

He was in the 'habit 'Mrs. Mordick said, of going out early in his regalia and coming in late at night. Yet Denton never drank intoxicants in the house. He was in the hafoit of drinking cn business, he used to say, hut never in his own home. When he came in Monday night last he asked for ia glass of soda and then went up to bed.

He had hemorrhages during the night. On Tuesday Mrs. Mordick called in Dr. Gardiner of Ten Eyck and Hum'boldt streets and the doctor prescribed for the patient. Later in the evening Denton's condition became alarming and someone sent in a call to St.

1 Catharine's Hospital. Dr. Duffy responded. Denton became worse during the night amd Mts. Mordick and her husband remained up with him.

At 3:30 o'clock yesterday morning he died. While in the spasms of death he asked Mrs. Mordick to hand him a small American flag, one of a number which he used to decorate himself, and he clutched It tightly In his hand during his last moments. Denton has four brothers who are well to do in this borough. Some of them called at Mordlck's Hotel yesterday and made arrange ments for the removal of the body.

Danton is said to have been worth about $30,000, but it Is said that, owing to. his temperament, the courts did not give him the money. His funeral will take place from 99 Moffatt street, ln the Eastern District, Saturday afternoon, at 2 o'clock. Cypress Hills Cemetery will be the place of burial. CHILD RTJEr OVEB, A3JD KILLED.

This district ruominated Fortunato Castellano and the announcement was mode in yesterday's papers of tho nomination. Last night Fortunato Castellano appeared in the reporters' room in the Municipal Building and announced that he was not only a Democrat, but also an officeholder in the Sewer Department un er James Kane. He knew nothing about the use of his name by the Republicans until he ssiw it in the newspapers. He declared that Congressman Denis M. Hurley was responsible for his nomination and that ho had been nominated in order to draw the Italian voters of the Sixth Ward away from the Democratic ticket.
