WANTS HIS STEAMBOAT BACK. Owner Complains That lessee Won't Surrender the Craft. John H. Grimes of 2,532 Atlantic avenue appeared before Magistrate Lemon in the Gates B1VU8 court this morning as complainant against, William Mellon, who lives in Canar sie. He had Mellon summoned to court because the latter, as be alleged, retained possession ot a steamboat belonging to hire.

The boat is a screw steamer known as the Zingara and is licensed to carry 100 passengers. According to Grimes he entered into an agreement with Mellon to establish a ferry between farren Island and Canarsie and he was to get one half of the profits. He claims that Msllon failed to live up to their agreement and never paid him a cent ol the earnings, and that he still held possession of the craft. Grimes also stated that Mellon had had the toat hauled out upon a dry dock and stripped it of the copper, which he had sold. The boat, he said, had been practically abandoned and was being ruined through neglect.

Mellon, on the other hand, declared that bis father had secured the release of the boat "through the payment of S500 to persons in Babylon, who were holding it for a debt. Grimes chartered the boat to his father on this account, and, as Mellon claimed, he acted only as manager. They entered into no agreement to pay Grimes half of the receipts. As the ferry did not pay his father abandoned it after losing considerable money. He admitted that the boat had been hauled out of the water, but denied that he had stripped It of the copper.

Mellon added that Grimes could have the boat any time he called for it. Magistrate Lemon referred the complainant to the Grant street court.

FOB ARREST OF Police to Send Out 0,000 Circulars Broadcast Over the Country To ACTIVE MEASURES TAKEN. Captain McCluskey and His Detectives Take Full Charge of the Matter. Several Stories Denied. The First National Bank of New York has determined to offer $5,000 as a reward for the arrest and detention of Its defaulting note teller, Cornelius L. Alvord.

This con elusion was arrived 'at and the announcement made this morning after a long con ference of the bank's officials with Captain McClusky of the Detective Bureau. From Police Headquarters to night there will be sent out 10,060 circulars giving a full de scription of Alvord and offering tho reward above stated. The circular will not bear a picture of the defaulting note teller, for the simple reason, the bank's officials state, that none Is to be obtained. Captain McClusky said that he would at once cable all the leading cities of Europe notifying them to be on the lookout for Al vord. He stated that he had no reason to believe that the bank officials had been ne gotiatlng with Alvord or his.

representatives looking toward a restitution of any part of the $700,000 stolen by him. The chief detective said he was unable to state why the Police Department was not sooner called in to the case, but that was none of his business; that he had been called In now and would make every effort to se cure the absconder. He said that so far as he knew no one, despite all reports to the contrary, had seen Alvord since Thursday, October 18. At the bank to day both President Boker and 'Vice President Hlne maintained that there was nothing new in the situation be yond that given out by Captain McClusky. From a high and undoubtedly well informed authority, certain statements of more or less Importance were made tbis morning, largely refutations of newspaper stories which had gained wide circulation and obtained credence in certain quarters.

In the first place, It was absolutely denied that Note Teller Al vord had taken any bonds from the bank. Stories of a circumstantial character, in which Alvord was made to figure as an entertainer of the bank officials at his Mt. Vernon home, were also denied. The authority men tioned also said that the statement made some two days ago, by Acting Controller of the Currency Kane of Washington, purporting to indicate how Alvord bad operated so as to be able to hide his irregularities from the bank officials, was altogether erroneous.

3 Grands Prix and ItledUtlH. Tiffany Co UNION SQUARE NEW YORK EUROPEAN STOCK MARKETS. London, October 2C Money was firmer today and in demand, partly In consequence of the settlement requirements, and discounts were harder. But little business was transacted, as the feeling of nervousness and uncertainty is becoming daily more pronounced. It is feared unfavorable developments may occur at any moment In the form of heavy withdrawals of gold for foreign countries, and It is believed the Bank of England has now begun to borrow on consols, and that it will thereby reduce the glut of money, stiffen rates and prevent an outflow toward France and New York.

But doubts are expressed as to whether this will prove successful. Business on the Stock Exchange to day was dull. The rate of discount In the open market for short bills is per for three months' bills, 3 per cent. Berlin, October 26 Internationals were animated on the Boerse to day, especially Italians. Spanish Fours were sold on Paris account.

Home Funds were strong, with large dealings for November account. Americans and Canadian Pacific were dull. Transvaal Rails were strong on bear covering. Mines were harder on American reports. Banks were in good demand on account of their being apparently oversold.

After Boerse hours local shares had a better tone. Exchange on London was 20 marks 45 pfennigs for checks. Discount Short bills, 2 per three months' bills, 3 per cent. Paris Business on the Bourse to day opened with a good demand, but later there were many declines on the weakness of Snnnlsh Fours owine to the declarations ot the Spanish Cahjiet 4he decline in ex change. Rentes were comparatively nrm and Rio Tintos were easier.

De' Beers finished in eood demand. Kaffirs opened steady, but eased a trifle and grew firmer toward the end. This was accentuaiea aiter the close of the Bourse. Three per cent, rentes were 100 francs 12 centimes for the account. Exchange on London was 25 francs 10 centimes for checks.

AGREED TO GET HER A DIVORCE. Hei Admirer Vowed She Should "Occupy as High a Position as Any Lady in the Land," She Says. Washington, October 26 A suit for $50,000 damages for breach of promise against United States Senator William V. Sullivan ot Mississippi was Sled in the District Columbia Supreme Court this afternoon by Mai Lucy Leeton of Oxford, Miss. The plaintiff, in her affidavit, alleges that she, "an unmarried woman, at the request of the defendant, undertook and promised to marry him and the defendant undertook and promised to marry the plaintiff, which he, without cause or right, has refused to do." The plaintiff claims that she met Senator Sullivan about October 7, 1895, in his law office, at Oxford, he being employed to defend her brother in law.

She claims that he made protestations of affection for her "and began by wiles and artifices to induce the plaintiff to accompany him on a Journey to Chattanooga, Tenn." Plaintiff claims she refused to go with him, but allowed him to correspond with her. She was at that time married, but not living with her husband. Plaintiff claims that Senator Sullivan promised to procure a divorce for her "and that he would keep her forever with him and that she should occupy as high a position as any lady In the land." About December 1, 1895, the plaintiff, at the request of the defendant, went with him to New Orleans. In January, 1896, according to the affidavit filed to day, the defendant placed plaintiff In Nelson's business college at Memphis, paying her tuition and board. In May, 1897, he secured a divorce for her.

The affidavit then alleges that May 10 of that year plaintiff and defendant lived together In Alexandria, as Mr. and Mrs. W. JU Sutton, he introducing plaintiff as his wife. Later he placed her in the Fauquier Female Institute In Warrenton, as his niece, where she remained from January to June, 1898, the defendant writing her every day and promising her he would marry her la the summer.

During this time plaintiff claims she had an offer of marriage from a young man who lived near her home and asked the defendant to consent to break off their relations. The latter, she claims, urged that she should not marry the young man, but wait and marry htm the following summer. The affidavit also recites that the couple lived together in Washington and that the defendant finally notified plaintiff that he was not financially able to marry her. Also that plaintiff hearing defendant was HI in June, 1900, came to Washington to see him and found him rooming with a woman whom be had brought from Hollls Springs, Miss. She claims that the defendant offered her $1,000 to go home and not expose him beforo said woman.

The plaintiff refused to do this and claims that the defendant abused her and left her without money, friends or means to llvo on. NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Brooklyn Will Soon Provide a Place for Every Pupil, Committeeman Bassett Says. Edward M. Bassett.

a well known lawyer in Manhattan, who lives on Newkirk avenue, in Flatbush, is chairman of the local committee on sites of the Board of Education. Through the endeavors of the committee fourteen sites were recommended at a meeting of the Central Board, in Manhattan, on Wednesday night. In's'peaking of the matter to an Eagle reporter Mr. Bassett said: "These sites are all, with one or two ex ceptlons, for large new schools or substan tial additions to present buildings. The one or two exceptions are where much needed strip3 of land adjoining schools are to be purchased for light and air.

"Investigations showed that certain sites heretofore located and approved, and then pending before the Central Board, were les3 necessary for present purposes than many others, and it was recommended that these less necessary sites, five in number, should be rescinded, and that five badly needed new sites should be adopted. "The School Board approved of this action of the sites committee at its meeting held October 2. Plans will be prepared for structures to be erected on the newly acquired sites, and it is to be hoped that these new schools, together with the schools now in course of erection, will go far to relieve present crowded conditions. It should not be long before there is a place In the Brooklyn schools for every child of school age, and it should not be long afterward that the 38,000. children cow composing part time classes shall enjoy full school privileges.

"The sites approved for acquirement by the Central Board Wednesday r.ight are: McKlbbln street anrl Orfihiirn nvenuc. Henry and Itapelyoa Avenue near UrlKhton RoaJ. Metropolitan and Manhattan avenues. Humboldt street and Meoktr avenue. Lefferts Park.
