He will go direct to the West Indies. The orders for the Commander of the South Atlantic station aro looked upon by acme as rather unusual. Rear Admiral Schley's friends say an attempt is being made to keep the late commander of general storekeeper's department.

As one Xavy Yard official said to an Eagle reporter to day, "All the departments of the yard, excepting those of the commandant and the doetor, havo a boiler and engine. Of course, this is extravagant. The electric light and power plants are not as numerous, but there are many duplicate plants in the yard. A central plant from which to furnish all the light will return next week and present their claims lor recognition in a more formal way. The selection of the chairman of the cities committee will be the most important question before the caucus.

There have been more runaways on the Ocean parkway during the past few months than for probably a year before. There is hardly a night that at least one runaway accident Is not reported. Last night there were two, resulting in three persons being Injured.

About 8:30 o'clock last night a horse driven by Andrew Witt, who conducts a hotel on the boulevard, became frightened by a passing car at Ocean and Fort Hamilton avenues and ran away. Mrs. Witt jumped and escaped injury, out the husband was thrown from the carriage and received a number of contusions on the face. The horse broke from the carriage and fell and although seriously injured jumped to its feet again and continued on a wild run. It was stopped by Bicycle Patrolman H.

A special order was issued by the Secretary of the Navy July 29, 1S99, which outlined the methods of supplying the electrical power and light by different departments. This seemed rather satisfactory, but another order was issued the latter part of ISEjS stating that in future tho Department of Yards and Docks will furnish light and power to vessels under $3.50 per pair.

Proceed by the shortest possible route to the waters of your command." It has been intimated that possibly Rear Admiral Schley's orden; will be countermanded jiu before he sails, but this is not likely to be done. At any rate, the Rear Admiral so told an Eagle reporter yesterday. "I sorry to leave this country." said he.

Dut els independence in the past and general disregard for methods may militate against him in the eyes of Senator Piatt. It is also said that Fallows is very indifferent about the place and is by no means an.xlous to assume the ohligati of unswerving loyalty to the maehice.

One of these "most dangerous positions" plainly is the store window, but an exhibit in the Interior of the store and particularly above the ground floor naturally would be considered even more dangerous. The resolution goes on to pronounce the making of such displays as a ground for the cancellation of a policy unless it is specially sanctioned. B.

J. Conroy of Abraham Strauss' store said to an Eagle reporter that he had received this notification, but that It would in no way interfere with the plans for holiday exhibits which have been made by that store. "This, I take It," said Mr. Conroy, "Is simply a warning. It means that store keepers must be particularly careful In arranging exhibits of inflammable material to be illuminated by electric lights.

But such a warning does not apply to us for the reason that we submit all of our displays of that character to representatives of the Board of Fire Underwriters before we inaugurate it as a part of our store exhibit. And we are always very careful about our wiring anyhow; of course it is to our Interest to be so. George Conklin of the firm of the J. M. Conklln Company was also disposed to take this view of the notice.

"I do not think it is to be construed literally," he said. "It simply means that more care must be used than the Progressive Literature Circle.

I should judge that all the important bills be discussed. In regard to the bills this year for Kings County 1 know of no important measure except the bills abolishing the lee system In the county offices.

I introduced these last year. They passed th: Mouse but were chloroformed in the Senate. I believe they will paes this year." Mr. Wilson said that a nieetlnt; the Assemblymen from Kings County would probably be held soon to ido on what bills should be put forth.

completion and contracts for tho boilers, engines and generators have already been let. While this big electrical station is going up two other plants of mammoth size are also under way. One of these is being installed by Naval Constructor Bowles. Engines, boilers and electrical machinery have been ordered, it is said. The department of construction has bad a large electrical plant and is credited with having rendered good service.

In the past it has been customary for this department to charge other departments for light and power furnished on board ships. This charge naturally assisted the naval constructor in operating his plant at a low cost, but at the expense of the other departments. The steam engineering department is getting ready to build an electrical plant to furnish power for all the shops under lt. control, which Include the boiler, pattern, machine, copper and blacksmith shops, as well as the foundry. It is to cost about $170,000 not including the building.

The building is to cost about S30.000. Should all these plans go through, to completion, the Navy Yard will have three plants, SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS.

By the consolidation of all the electric stations thousands of dollars would be saved annually. This friction between the N'avy Yard departments has brought out the fact that a number of other departments of the yard might be consolidated, or centralized, to great advantage.

"1 came over here quietly." said Mr. Baker to an Eagle reporter last evening, "because I wanted to see for myself as well as a stranger could, just what the situation was over here. I didn't say anything to either the railroad people or to the complainants that 1 was coining, for fear that I would get a one sided view of the matter." The Commissioner, at. tho time he talked with the reporter, was on Washington street and had just come from an inspection of the lower or section of the road, and especially rf the transfer points at Thirty sixth street and Sixty fifth street. Mr.

Baker said that during the rush hours of the evening lie would go down to the bridge, watch the trains arriving and departing and size up the crowd. The Commission reached ample, some store keepers use a great deal of the common conducting cord, such as is used for desk lights, to conduct a current to some temporary display of goods. This conducting cord is dangerous stuff when considerable lengths of it are used. A pin stuck through it by chance may cause a spark, and a single spark may do a great deal of damage if It falls on inflammable material, like wadding or light and flimsy goods. Wiring, even for very short use, should be done with the utmost care, and it is this care, I think, Claim of Extra Consideration by These Teachers Appears to Some to Be Without Foundation.

One of them questioned his authority and Corporation Counsel Whalen, in an opinion rendered on November 17, sustained the fireman's claim. While this decision is a good thing for the men reduced, it will not be a good thing for those henceforth proven guilty of drunkenness, for the Commissioner has declared that no man who gets drunk can run an engine in the Fire Department.

This will mean that engineers who are convicted of the offense will be dismissed. As a result of Mr. Whalen's action, five Brooklyn firemen are reinstated and assigned to duty with the companies indicated: Alfred against Valentine J.

Husband of Woman Who Took Carbolic Acid Lectured for Drinking Mrs. Johanna Turbtit, a young married woman, who was arraigned before Magistrate Bristow in the Butler street court to day on a charge of attempted suicide, was discharged.

Mrs. Turbut, it was alleged, took a quantity of carbolic acid during the night of Xovember 1. at her home, Hamilton avenue, and was taken to the Long Island College Hospital, where she remained as a patient until Wednesday last. In court she said that she had made a mistake In taking the carbolic acid. See thought it was medicine, an had no thought of suicide.

Magistrate Bristow asked Officer Henry Cunningham, who made the arrest, and the husband. Thomas Turbut, if either of them had heard the accused say that she intended committing suicide, and they answered in the negative. Magistrate Briaiow then read the husband a severe lecture. He said, notwithstanding the evidence, he believed that the poor woman had contemplated suicide, and that the husband was responsible for her act. "You have." said the magistrate, shaking his head, in my opinion, made existence so miserable for this woman, your lawful wife, that she has seen no pleasure in life, and thought that tho best way to get rid of her wretchedness was to have done with it.
