Corona, L. June 3 The timely arrival of a policeman prevented a murder in the Italian colony early this morning. Two young Italians, Michael Scavarat and Nicholas Acolona, both of Newins street, were fighting a duel about 5 o'clock with shotguns and revolvers. The noise of the shooting attracted the attention of Officer Cas sldy of the Newtown precinct, who arrested both men and took them to the Newtown police station, where they are now locked up pending an examination. Both the young men are suitors for the hand of pretty Rosia Angelos and last night Scavarat arrived at the girl's house and was in a room talking with her when Acolona appeared.

When he saw his rival he became furious and, drawing a knife, made a rush at him. Scavarat picked up a chair and for a moment It seemed as if blood would be shed then and there, but Acolona was taken from the house by friends. When Scavarat started to go to work this morning Acolona was waiting for him in the hallway with a revolver in his hand. Running back into his room Scavarat procured a shotgun and as he went out into the yard, a bullet whizzed by his head, fired from the revolver held by Acolona. Scavarat then emptied both barrels of the shotgun in the direction of his enemy, but neither shot took effect Acolona emptied all the chambers of his revolver at his foe and only one hit him.

(Special to the Eagle.) Jamaica, L. June 3 Ex Governor Richard C. McCormick died at his home corner Herriman and Shelton avenues, Jamaica, at 11 A. yesterday, of a stroke of apoplexy. His funeral services will be held at his late residence on Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock.

The services will be conducted by the Rev. J. H. Lampmann, D.D., former pastor of the Presbyterian Church of this village, assisted by the Rev. J.

H. Hobbs, present pastor of the church, and the Rev. Edwin Richmond of the Baptist Church. The interment will be private lh Grace Church Cemetery. The deceased was governor of Arizona for six years, a delegate to Congress from that territory, member of Congress from the First Congressional District of New York, comprising Suffolk and Queens Counties, and held many prominent positions of trust in the federal government.

Ex Governor McCormick was born in New York City, May 23, 1S32. His father. Richard McCormick, was a liberally educated man and was for many years a constant writer for the Journal of Commerce and other metropolitan papers. His son Richard was educated in the best private schools of the city and fitted for college, but being ambitious to go abroad, he gave up the idea and went to the Crimea Richard C. McCormick.

during the war between Russia and England and France. He was on the field during almost the entire war and present at the siege of Sebastopol. He wrote an interesting account of that siege in a book entitled "Camp Before Sebastopol." This work was followed by another from the same pen, entitled "From St. Paul's to St. Sophia," giving an niteresting account of the writer's trip from Rome to St.

Petersburg. On his return from his European trip Mr. McCormick entered heartily into the movement for the formation of the Republican party and took an active part in the Fremont and Dayton campaign. In 1858 he was elected a trustee of the public schools of th Fifteenth Ward of New York City and proposed many plans for the Improvement cf the public schools of New York. He was an Intense anti slavery advocate and owing to his known ability he was in great demand in the Lincoln campaign of 1860, when he became a member of the Republican State Committee.

He took a very prominent part in that campaign and had the acquaintance of Abraham Lincoln and William H. Seward, which in after years became ripened into intimacy. Upon the breaking out of the war, Mr. McCormick went to the front as a corre spondent of New York Evening Post and wrote what was said at that time to have been one i of the best journalistic accounts of the Battle of Bull Run, he having been at the I headquarters of McDowell during that paign. He remained with the Army of the Potomac for two years and.

in 1862, was nominated as Republican candidate for Con gress In the First Congressional District, which at that time inoluded Suffolk. Queens i and Richmond counties. Henry G. Stebbins, his Democratic opponent, a prominent New York banker, was elected, but Mr. McCormick made a very flattering run.

Mr. McCormick was shortly afterward ap i pointed chief clerk of the Department of Agriculture and in 1863 became secretary of the Territory of Arizona. He performed the duties this office so acceptably that he was appointed Governor of the territory by President Andrew Johnson in 1866. He at once set about arming and drilling the residents of the territory in military tactics and put them in condition to defend them selves against the hostile tribes of Apache Indians. It was on his advice that General Crook was sent out with the United States troops to begin a campaign for the subjugation of the Bavages.

The Governor was afterward elected as a delegate to Congress for three successive terms. He declined a fourth nomination to accept an appointment as commissioner of the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia, in 1876. He was appointed Assistant Secretary of the United States Treasury in 1877 and In 1878 Commissioner General of the United. States to the Paris Exposition. After returning to this country he engaged in large mining enterprises in the Wesc and was for a number of years president and director of the Boreel Mining Company, and the Small Hopes Consolidated Mining Company; a director of the Leadville Consolidated Mining Company and a trustee of the Citizens' Savings Bank of New York.

In 18S6 he again ran for Congress against Perry Belmont hut the Democratic majority in the district was too large for him to overcome. He ran again in 1894 and was elected by a large majority. He was very active in looking out for the needs of his district and owing to his large acquaintanceship among the leading officials at Washington gave to the First District of New York a place of importance. Ha was offered a reuomination in 1896 but declined to run again on account of his feeble health. During his stay In Arizona, Mr.

McCormick kept the President informed ae to Maximilian's movements in Mexico. He was the, author of "Arizona; Its Resources," and of several other works relating to. the West. He was a member of the Union League Club, the American Geographical Society and a commander of the Legion of Honor of France. Mr.

McCormick was in 1S62 a resident of Woodhaven and afterward of Jamaica, whero his family has resided for thirty five years. In 1S73 ho married a daughter of the late Senator Allen G. Thurman of Ohio, a former judge and a chairman of the National Democratic Committee. Mrs. McCormick survives her husband.

Their married life was a most happy one. The deceased also leaves surviving him three sisters Mrs. Dexter H. Walker, Misses Mary L. and Florence N.

McCormick of Jamaica, and a brother, Alfred D. McCormick of New York. Mr. McCormick was a highly esteemed public spirited citizen of Jamaica, contributing freely toward every worthy public enterprise. He was first and foremost in the work of securing the appropriation for the State Normal School at Jamaica, and after the establishment of the school he served five or six years as president of Its board of managers.

The deceased was a man of fine literary taste and had a library of between 5,000 and volumes, many of them rare and valuable works. He was very fond of aborlculture and of plants and flowers. His acquaintanceship with the public men of to day and his knowledge of contemporary events was remarkable. He thoroughly read Superintendent Skinner's Second Decision Against the Action of the Northport School Board. Albany, June 3 Superintendent of Public Instruction Charles R.

Skinner has rendered abortive a second attempt on the part of the school trustees of Northport, L. to administer corporal punishment to Harry T. Mott. Last winter young Mott, Harry Robbinn and Fred Ketcham of Huntington were suspended by Principal B. J.

Wightman for a serious breach of the rules. Later when the case of the boys was considered by the local board of trustees they were given the option of coming back to school and receiving a severe thrashing at. the hands of the principal or being expelled. The Mott boy returned and the other two boys went to school in another district. An appeal was taken by Mott's father to Superintendent Skinner from the decision of the local trustees in prescribing the kind of punishment which should be administered to his son.

Superintendent Skinner sustained the appeal on the ground that the action of the trustees was in violation of the penal code. It was as a result of this decision by Superintendent Skinner that young Molt returned to school. On May 4, after his return, the local trustees held another meeting and again by resolution, directed Principal Wightman to administer corporal punishment, but so modi fled their resolution as to make it conform to the provisions of the penal code. Young Mott's father again appealed to Superintendent Skinner, asking for a stay of proceedings until an appeal from the second decision of the board of trustees could be prepared. This petition was received Saturday by the state superintendent, who, to day granted an order staying all proceedings until the new appeal shall have been decided.

The State Department of Public Instruction takes the ground that a four months' suspension from school is sufficient punishment for the offence of young Mott. D0HT FOR BOROUGH PRESIDENT. The Ex Sheriff Announces His Candidacy for That Position in Queens. Long Island City, L. June 3 It has been announced here that former Sheriff Henry Doht of Newtown is out for the Republican nomination for president of the borough.

It is known that Mr. Doht has been quietly at work for several weeks, and his reputation bears out the statement that he is certainly busy in the interests of Henry uoDt. Jusi what success will attend the efforts of the former sheriff remains to be determined by the action of the Republican managers here, as they hold the balance of power. There are many who have not been surprised over Mr. Doht entering the race for the nomination.

Newtown is looked upon here as not having any modesty, and if her residents continue to capture offices in the borough the old town will in a Bhort time become the seat of government for Queens. There is one serious bar to the aspirations of Mr. Doht, and that is the stand taken in the Republican County Committee by Chairman John E. Van Nostrand of Newtown. When he assumed the office he stated his efforts would be toward restoring to the committee the power and influence it enjoyed "twenty five years ago." So far prominent Republicans freely admit Chairman Van Nostrand has succeeded in dividing the committee up into factions.

This la becoming more apparent in each meeting of that body and the crisis is said not to be far off. Mr. Doht has been told by Republicans here to first prove that Newtown Republicans put the party welfare above their personal desires, before any aid can be promised him in hia new desire.

June 3 Justice Wilmot M. Smith this morning handed down his decision in the case of the Smith heirs of the Manor of St. George against John J. Bartlett for the possession of Carman's River at Brookhaven in favor of the plaintiffs. Mr.

Bartlett is the representative of the Brooklyn syndicate which paid Henry W. Carman $20,000 for his interest In the Carman River. The plaintiffs, who are the direct descendants of William Tangier Smith, claimed title to the property under a leng continuing chain, of deeds and wills of their ancestors. Their title to one half the stream was not contested, the question at issue being whether the defendants' title to the property through deeds given by the daughters of the original patentee were bounded by the bank or the middle of the river. Judge Smith decides that the bank is the boundary and.

therefore, the plaintiffs, who have been In undisputed possession for a long time, are the absolute owners of the river. Under the decision the water syndicate will have to vacate the premises or pay the Smiths for the water desired. DUPLICATE NASSAU MAPS. County Clerk Cheshire Has Secured an Appropriation to Make Mineola. L.

June 3 All the maps on file in the Queens County Clerk's office whici affect Nassau County titles and real estatu will be duplicated and the duplicates filed with the County Clerk of N'assau County. The Board of Supervisors at their last meeting, in response to a request from County Clerk Cheshire of Nassau, who has been working to this end for some time, adopted a resolution authorizing Mr. Cheshire to expend $1,000 In the work. There are about five hundred of these maps affecting titles to property either wholly or In part within Nassau County, and since the establishing of the county searchers have been put to great inconvenience because of no maps being filed in Mineola. The Nassau County Bar Association is now at work endeavoring to induce the Supervisors to make an appropriation of another thousand dollars for the purchase of an entire new set of indices for the County Clerk's office, recommending the Campbell system of indexing which is now in use in Suffolk County.

beneficial effects of the well known remedy, Btbup of Figs, manufactured by the Califosnia Fio Sybup illustrate the value of obtaining' the liquid laxative principles of plants knowa to be medicinally laxative and presenting' them in tho form most refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the sj'Btem. It is the one perfect strengthening laxative, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation permanently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and substance, and its acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative.
