Oscar and Victor Patterson, two bdI who live at 6" Pacific street, this borough, were walking through Chrystie street, Manhattan, on their way home, at 2:30 this morning, when, within a few feet, of Broome street, three men jumped out. from a dark doorway and grabbed them. Each of the highwaymen held a bottle in his hand with which ho belabored the sailors.

Tho Swedes were soon knocked senseless to the sidewalk. The thieves then proceeded to "go through" their victims at leisure. They took from Jansen about $10 in money and from Patterson his gold watch and chain. They were rummaging the sailors' pockets for more homy when one of the men regained consciousness and yelled lustily for help. Policeman Joseph J.

Madden of tho El dridge street station, who ten days ago captured single handed four highwaymen in Elizabeth street, heard the yells and ran around the corner and saw the three men bending over their victims. As soon as the highwaymen saw the policemen they ran. Two sped north through Chrystie street and the third ran directly toward Madden.

Loudon, October 28 The pertinacity with which society discusses the rumors regarding the health of King Edward has had a serious effect on the court dressmakers, who expected, ere now. to have been busily engaged on the coronation robes, etc. They are keeping large staffs in almost complete idleness. The members of society have apparently made up their, minds that they will not go to any expense until tho last possible minute, when they feel sure that the coronation will really take place. There Is a very clearly defined impression in the diplomatic corps that the King is threatened with some organic complaint.

Some go so far as to say it is cancer or Bright's disease, or even both. Probably the truer solution is that the cancer rumor springs from the King's oft expressed dread of cancer, which has made such ravages in his own family, and that whatever ailment may threaten him it has not reached any definite or dangerous stage, else he would be quite unable to keep up his incessant round of public duties and private pastimes with the regularity and zest which he continues to display. In spite of these facts there is undoubtedly a. very alarming premonition, in court circles, especially among the women, that the King will never live to be crowned, which, however baseless or otherwise, is having a serious effect on trade. The favorite story in this connection, now current, is that a palmist told Queen Alexandra not long ago that she would never live to be crowned.

ANARCHIST STARTS RIOT. Tried to Induce Men to Strike One Killed and Another Wounded. Greensburg, October 2S Last night a fight occurred among the foreign element at Loyalhanna about the anarchistic views of some of the miners there. One of them named Antonia Motta, who was more conservative than the others, was shot and so badly wounded that death resulted this morning. A friend of Motta, named John Motinar, was slightly wounded in tho legs.

The murderer, who was a stranger in the community, and whose name is not known, was a rabid anarchist, and was trying to induce the men to strike. Ho fled as soon as he committed the deed and so far baa eluded the officers. Should the murderer be captures It is doubtful if ho ever reaches the jail alive. COULDN'T REMEMBER MARRYING John Espey Said He Must Have Been Intoxicated When He Married" Second Time. The examination of John Espey, of 49 Hausmau street, on the charge of bigamy, was held this morning before Magistrate O'Reilly in the Manhattan avenue court.

Espey had been arrested on Wednesday last, on tho complaint of Gussio Albert, 20 years old, of 72 Avenue Manhattan. Tho complainant testified this morning that she was married to Espey on September 12 last, and that later she learned that he had been previously married to Mamie Gertrude Ritchie on December 30, 1S9G, wno was still living. Espey declared that ho could not remember having married the complainant, and that he must have been intoxicated when the ceremony was performed. He was held by the? magistrate lor the Grand Jury. Daniel Eger, 23 years old, of S7 Newell street, another prisoner charged with bigamy, was also to be examined this morning but the examination was adjourned to Thursday.

The complainant in this caso was hiB first wife, Margaret Hein, 23 years old, of 506 West Forty second street, Manhattan. She alleges that the prisoner was married in August to Margaret Reichweln, 20 years old, who lived at 89 Moore street. Mrs. Alary Reichwein of Eleventh avenue and Forty second street, Manhattan, who claimed to be the mother of tho prisoner's alleged second wife, stated to the court that her daughter had eloped with Eger. She also stated that she could not find her daughter and believed that Eger had her in hiding, so that she could not appear against him.

Fred Wolff of 64 Putnam avenue, who had been on Eger's bond, surrendered him to the court this morning. The magistrate then increased tho bail to $1,000 and the prisoner went to Jail, pending examination. MARRIED A YEAR AGO. Surprise for the Eriends of Mr. Lewis and Miss Hendrix.

Quinn's Force of White Wings in Brooklyn. AT WORK IN BEDFORD DISTRICT Mr. Quinn Says That Many "Extra" Are Put to Work From Time to Time. 'I'll" iaiesi. innovation introduced in th local Si reel Cleaning Department is that oi pin tiny, sweepers to work without, uniforms, which, since the days of Commissioner ar ins.

who liroiight into vogue the "whit wing" sysi em in tho department, is a dirocS violation its rules. I or several days past, the sight, of "whit hit nak9 wings" without, the accessories that, mak them white, at work on the streets has been' a familiar one to people living in the uoifch borlmod of Xostrattd and Park avenues. That incident has excited no little comment. Th laborers in that section of the borough win are employed on lie sireets are scarcely inguisluil'le from any other laborers what might be nsagoii on thoroughfares ex eopi in th. fact, that they carry brooms.

When Street Cleaning Commissioner Qiwna was asked to explain 'be apparent, change lot the policy of 11,,. deport suont to clothe ita laboring employes iu a ga.rb that, will distinguish them, bo said that he was not aware) that any of ihe street sweepers were working tiniini formed.

The foreman, however, was not in and Quinn lien stated positively from his own knowledge liiil there were no such cases as mentioned of apparenl violation of the of til. department.

He even went so far as to show that il. could scarcely he so, inasmuch its there is a penalty attached to the offoncu of a street sweeper appearing at work without his uniform. Mr. CJuiiiii later explained that many extras put to work from time to lime for day or so from a certified list of the Civil Servicer Commission. be refused to admit I hat these might have been the men that wor working nn.v without ihojr uniforms.

M. "i Ion I 'h 'il. le. th Stw Adv. Programme Carefully Gone Over Between the Warden and His Assistants.

ASSASSIN STILL TACITURN. Wants to Be Let Alone Will Not Be Allowed to Talk in Death Chamber. 'Auburn. October 2S The officials of Auburn prison to day began final preparations for the execution of Loon F. Czolgosz.

Warden J. Warren Mead, who has recovered from his recent indisposition, to day conferred with Electrician Davis and the keepers and guards who will assist in the execution and the programme was carefully gone over. Warden Mead has selected his assistants from among the prison employes who have had the widest experience in executions. It is understood that the prison officials will use every precaution to prevent Czolgosz from talking in the death chamber, it being their desire that anything he may wish to state be said in the condemned cell. The prisoner's attitude is reported as unchanged.

Apparently he does not desire to ee any one and declines to talk except in monosyllables. For two days a brother in law of the condemned man has been seeking permission to see him. In order to have him identified the Warden went to the prisoner and asked him if he could describe his brother in law. He replied: "'I didn't see my sister married and I don't know the man." "Would you like to see him?" he was asked. "No.

I don't care," was the reply. "He wants to be let alone," said Warden Head to day, "and we let him alone. The prisoner is unchanged in demeanor and health." To uight at (i o'clock, after the death warrant has been read, an extra guard will be placed in the cell with Czolgosz. That portion of the prison in which four other condemned men are kept has been partitioned off from Czolgosz's cell by an iron screen and in the first cell beyond this partition is Fred Krist. the Waverly murderer, who is to meet his death next week.

The extra guards on duty at Hip mHn gates will be maintained until after the ex I ccution to morrow morning. The guards were doubled merely as a procautionary measure and not because there is reason to believe the extra men will be needed. The polict of the city are co operating with the prison officials and keep a close watch on all trains entering the city. They feel that there is a remote possibility of an act of violence upon the part of some crank imbued with a wild plan of either aiding or injuring the prisoner and they hope to prevent anything of the kind. Guards and police keep a close watch on State street, upon which the main entrance and prison wall front.

The prison was perfectly quiet to day and at no time were there any loiterers anywhere in its vicinity. Passers took a fleeting look: at the 'minaret like watch tower at the south wall which is almost directly over the execution chamber, or peered in through the gate at the front of the building, but none of them stopped. Whenever a visitor rang the bell at the main entrance two guards responded. W'arden Mead has thrown still another safeguard around the prisoner to prevent any miscarriage of the plans formulated for his execution. He has directed the death watch to insist that any general conversation which the prisoner may have with a visitor be carried on in English, and be held within the hearing of a guard.

The one exception under the ruling will bo in caso the prisoner makes a confession to one of the Polish priests. In that event the guards will withdraw out of hearing, but not of sight of the prisoner. Czolgosz's brother, Waldock Czolgosz, and his brother in luw, Waldeck Thomas Ban dowski, did not see the prisoner this morning. "Waldeck Czolgosz appeared in front of the prison very early, but made no request to see his brother. He walked up and down in front of the prison, and only once or twice stopped at the gate and peered through.

He did not seem especially worried. Bandowski askea to see the prisoner, and was refused admittance, pending the arrival of Superintendent of Prisons Cornelius V. Collins, at 3 o'clock this afternoon. In addition to Czolgosz's lack of interest in a visit from his brother in law, the prison officials had another motive in delaying the matter. They have a suspicion that Bandowski is using his relationship to the prisoner in behalf of individuals who are said to have paid his expenses.

If the fact can be established to their satisfaction, Bandowski will speedily forfeit any right to recognition and admittance. Waldeck Czolgosz has made no formal request for the body of his brother. He merely discussed the question in a general way with the warden. Bandowski ia the author of the plan to take the body to Buffalo for crepitate Controller Erastus Knight to day telegraphed to Warden Meade, declining the invitation to act as foreman of the jury that will witness the execution. It will therefore, he necessary to select another foreman, and that will be done this afternoon.

State Treasurer John Jaeckel will probably be asked to take the foreman ship. He is in Auburn and is among those required to witness the execution. HERMAN A. STUTZER ESTATE. After Debts Have Been Paid $757, 204.59 Will Be Distributed Among Heirs Big Revenue Tax.

POLICE SAY HE WAS INTOXICATED Clymer Street Residents Thought William Smith a Burglar Doctors Say He Will Die. William Smith, 28 years old, who boarded with Mrs.

Peters at 111 Clymer street. Is in a dying condition ia the Eastern District Hospital with a fracture ot the skull. His injury was the result of spending the night in the company with convivial friends and on his return mistaking the residence of another for his own and in turn being taken for a burglar. As a result of his escapade ir. was said at the hospital to day that he would probably die.

Smith came from Roxbury, where his relatives live. He has always borne an excellent reputation and was employed as a stenographer for Alexander Green, lawyers in Manhattan. From papers and letters found in the pocket of the injured man by the police of tho Lee avenue station they are satisfied that Smith spent the night as explained with some friends and they say when he reached tho vicinity of where he received his injuries he was much the worse for stimulants. Smith after crossing the ferry turned into Wythe avenue and on reaching Morton street, mistook that thoroughfare for Clymer street. He passed along until he reached 79 Morton street, which is a brown stone residence.

It still being dark he thought the house was his own and passed up tho stoop. He fumbled about the keyhole and being unable to fit his key decided to enter the house by the parlor window. It is said he climbed unsteadily to the window ledge and made so much noise trying to open the window that the occupants were aroused. When he was seen working on the window he was mistaken for a burglar and a general outcry raised. The shouts brought Charles H.

Rouges, who lives opposite at SO Morton street, to his window and ho also took the man tor a burglar and joined in with his shouts for the police. The excitement, evidently brought Smith to his senses and when ho realized that ho was trying to enter the wrong house he tried to regain the stoop. He was unuble to properly steady himself and lost his balance. He fell backwards, striking heavily on his head in the areaway. a fall of about ten feet.

He remained still, and when the neighbors, who had been aroused, reached him it was found he was Insensible. Policeman McGrath of the Leo avenue station reached the scene while several men were trying to revive Smith. He assisted in the work and finding it Impossible, called an ambulance. Dr. Smith of the Eastern District Hospital responded and, after making an examination, said the man had a fracture of the skull.

He was removed to that Institution, where an operation was per but at noon to tho physlciciei in charge held out but little hopes for re cove ri'. At the hospital his clothing was examined with the result that his Identity was clearly established, together with the fact that he had evidently spent the night with friends. He was revived for a few minutes and in ihat time managed to explain that he had had no idea of entering the house for the purposo of robbery, but that he had mistaken the place and. being unable to open the door with his key, had decided to reach his room by means of the parlor window. The excitement: following hl3 discovery caused him to make the misstep resulting in his fall.

After making this statement he became unconscious and has since remained iu fh.it condition. MRS. J. A. MC GARRY DEAD.

Van Wyck." It looks as if the "big chief" is overstraining the patience of the Democratic candidate for Mayor, Edward M. Shepard. Deputy Commissioner Devery to day indorsed his interview published this morning. He said he meant all of it and "would stand for it." In the interview he called Justice Jeromo an ignorant, unsophisticated gentleman and said that the proper place for him is in the lunatic asylum on Ward's Island; that it is a lie that no woman is safe below Fourteenth street; that Seth Low, even if elected, cannot put him out; that he will be there after all have done shouting and added: "Get out? Xever! Devery stays right here." So far, duriug the campaign. Mr.

Shepard has suspended judgment on Devery. He haB said that as soon as he is inducted into office he will take up a consideration of the Police Department and that he will see that the administration shall be as rigorous and just as he knows how to make it. The people who propose to vote for Mr. Shepard believe that under that rule, Deverylsm will not have much show. If it is not more effectually squelched than under a reform regime.

When the Devery interview was mentioned to Mr. Shepard this morning the Democratio candidate seemed a little stern. "Neither Mr. Devery himself nor any one eise," he said, "has any assurance from mo or any statement, except such as I have made In my public speeches, which are my platform and which are intended for the guidance of the people at large and also of every citizen with a vote, whether he holds office or not." "But, Mr. Shepard, many people will expect, in view of Devery's statement, that you will say where you stand on the police question," was urged.

"I have already said a dozen times or more exactly where I stand. I have said there are many things to be reformed in the police and other departments, and that I shall reform them if I am elected Mayor." "Then, when you are reported as giving the police department nnd Mr. Devery a clean bill of health you are reported incorrectly?" "I have never said anything of the sort. My speeches must stand by themselves. If the people are willing to believe that I have given complete exoneration to the police department they are willing to believe anything impossible about me." "What about the statement of Mr.

Schurz?" "I shall deal with that in my speech at Carnegie Hall to morrow night. Mr. Schurz has been misled by an incomplete statement of my speeches at St. Nicholas Rink and Long Island City. I did not say at St.

Nicholas Rink that the fusion movement is made up of Piatt, Coffey and Sheehan. I have been at the utmost pains to speak in tho highest terms of the gentlemen at the head of the Citizens' Union movement. In that body there are a large number of public spirited citizens who aTc sincerely opposed to me in this campaign. "I have not said that Tammany had been maligned, as you will see from the published reports of my speeches. If you are to criticise a political administration the way to do it is to pick out the bad things and commend tho good." Mr.

Shepard was asked about what appeared to be wholesale condemnation of his campaign from the pulpits of the city. He denied warmly that the clergy were anything like unanimous in their opposition, and stated that he believed that more than a majority were with him in his idea of the best way to bring about better government. A very insignificant portion of the clergy he said, replying to the question put to him by the reporters, "has denounced me or mv campaign. So far as I nm to judge from the Information at my command more than half the clergy of this city (Manhattan and Brooklyn) are with me in this fight. The wise and practical clergyman sees clearly that the main tiling to deal with is ihe future and lasting political condition of the city and not to rest, all its great moral future on a temporary and disintegrating triumph of the Fusion forces.

Apropos of that subject Mr. Shepard raid he had received a warm letter of commendation of his policy as expressed in his speeches from the conformist divine the itc.v Dr. Bciie of Boston. "Do you iudorse the posters which say that in the case of the of Mr. Low public Improvements new under way will "I was not consulted ah mt the When I see posters showing how good It v.

Ml bebe for the city if I am elected it is impossible for me to retain a severely critical frame of mind." "You will, as counsel, continue to push rapid transit, even if Mr. Low is elected?" "There seems to be a considerable apprehension on the part of many people that my professional career is to be replied Mr. Shepard with a smile. Richard Croker declared this morning that he. did not.

believe Devery ever gave tho interview credited to htm. He said that he would do talking enough before the campaign was over. Mr. Croker arrived at the Hoffman House in companv with Senator Timothy D. Sullivan.

he was asked about tho interview with Deputy Devery which appeared in several of the newspapers to day lie said: "I read it. but I don't believe he said one word of it. That's all I care to say on that." "Won't you make a statement in reply to the charges of the other side?" "They will get talk enough before they get. through." "I understand that 'Little Willie' Is going to open up on me to night," said Senator Sullivan. "Let him do it.

It won't hurt me any. Willie is only making votes for me. It is not true that I am sending around men to break up Jerome's meetings. 1 want Jerome to talk. He's makin' would pay him rather than Ic have l'im doing it.

Little Willie is our meat. He'll chirp a week longer then I'vov llh Little Willie." SPAIN'S NEW BUDGET. Madrid.

"BUILD SHIPS AT NAVY YARDS." Plea of Representative Fitzgerald and Ruppert Presented to President Roosevelt. (Special to the Eagle.) Washington. 1J. October 2S Representative John J. Fitzgerald of Brooklyn and Representative Jacob Ruppert of New York calli a on the President ibis morning for the purpose of making a plea for the adoption of the policy of building Navy venscls at tho government navy yards, and if possible persuading the President to recommend iu liis message that this be done.

The two members of Congress found that the President was interested in I It1 subject, but that it would not be practicable for him to refer to it in his message to the Senate and House. Tho two men were advised to consult with Secretary Long nnd Admiral Bowles in regard to the matter. An additional argument has been produced in favor of bui'dlnR warships at navy yards. Luring the recent strike nr tho E'acitle Coast the Army authorities much embarrassed because several wore held up in private ship yar.n. ui eau.se of the strike.

The Navy Yard officers submitted a bid for the contract of making the repairs on th transports, but the work was given to a private firm. While construction on the government work at the navy yards proceeded without interruption during tho strike the men engaged at the privotj plant weal oat for a long period of time, greatly delaying the completion of the repairs to the transports. Ambassador White called on i he President and Secretary Hay to day to pay respects before returning to Germany, lie expects to sail from New York this week. THE MEADE COURT NAMED.
