August 7 Another skirmish betwern City Magistrates Edmund Healy and Luke Connorton over the right to occupy the bench in the local court lor the month of August took place yesterday morning.

Since the first of the month Magistrate Healy has occupied the bench, while Magistrate Connorton was a quiet But. yesterday morning Magistrate Connorton arrived at the court Ebortly after 8 o'clock and immediately took his seat at the desk and awaited developments. Magistrate Healy arrived shortly after and watched Judge Connorton open the court. He called the cases and discharged nearly all them, while Judge Healy kept pace by adjourning them until this morning. Judge Healy then retired and Judge Connorton sat on the bench until 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the court adjourned.

Judge Connorton again occupied the bench to day and Judge Hesley appeared but did not attempt to Interfere. He left early for Long Island City, to hold court there, as he had been given a tip that District Attorney Merritt had threatened to have him removed if he refused to hold court In Long Island City during the present month in accordance with the printed schedule of assignment. The trouble Is caused by an alleged mistake of a clerk or the printer of the tabulated forms assigning the different magistrates to different courts In rotation each month. The truth is that Far Rockaway is a very pleasant summer resort with very little work to do in the local court, and in consequence each of the magistrates Is anxious to preside here during the heated season. Under the printed schedule Judge Healy presided at the local court in June, Smith In July and Connorton is scheduled for both August and September, while Smijh returns again in October.

Healy will, therefore, be away from bis own court for four months June to November. Party leaders think the trouble has been arranged to bring about Judge Healy's resignation. Long Island City, L. August 7 For the first time this month the three police magistrates in the Borough of Queens are holding court according to the schedule adopted by the Board of City Magistrates. Magistrate Healy npr eared in this city this morning and pened the local court.

It is the first day this month that the court has been regularly in session. There is to be a meeting of the Board of Magistrates in Brooklyn, this afternoon to consider the muddle in Queens.

Corwln, proprietor of the Long Island House; John M. Burgess of the Burgess Hotel; James C. Burns of the Burns House; D. Sandman, a wholesale dealer In wines, and they supposed the fountain was to be erected by the citizens of Rlverhoad, and not by the Women's Christian Temperance Union. FOB, ST.
