Clarence and the girl would have the big houseboat all to themselves Like all liayinen, be could find bis way around Shinnecock Bay on a dark night or in a fog almost as well as he could in broad daylight.

It never made any difference to Clarence when be sailing. He could always find the dock when he wanted to and could steer liis big sloop through the narrowest channels on the darkest nights without any trouble at all. Summer before last Clarence's girl was from Boston. She was known the lady "with the diamonds, for she wore'enough jewelry on her fingers to ballast the ordinary Good Ground catboat. Last year there was another girl.

Although Fester had known Miss Lawrence lor years, ever since the family began coming to Good Ground, there was never known to be auything more than a passing acquaintance between them. Last winter Clarence spent his time at East Moriches. While there he met Miss Leila Tcnny. daughter of a family well known in that town, and they ran away to be married In Eastport in February. The Rev.

Joshua Holden of that place performed the ceremony. Early this season Clarence brought his wife to Good Ground to spend the summer, it is understood he Was to be employed as a houseboat sailor by one of the hotels this season. The Ocean View House at Good Ground is wned snd managed by Warren Corwin, an old resident of that place. The house accommodates about forty five people and is situated on Tiana Bay, nn arm of Shinnecock about half a mile long, lined on either side with hotels, boarding houses and private cottages. The Lawrences "nave stopped with Mr.

Corwin ever since they began coming to Good Ground. Howard Corwin, Warren's brother, is the captain in charge of the Good Ground life saving crew and also runs the principal bathing pavilion over at the beach. Willis Weils, the man from whom Disbrow hired the carriage; is also a Good Ground character. He has a sort of mononoly of the livery business there and is baggageman and postman for the summer residents. DISBROW SEEN AT QUEENS.

in a Disheveled Condition on "Wednesday When He Met His Wife. (Special to the Eagle.) Richmond Hill. L. June 14 Louis A. Disbrow of this place, who is wanted to give information in connection with the drowning of Miss Sarah Lawrence and Clarence Foster, whose bodies were found in Shinnecock Bay to day, was last seen at Queens railroad station about four miles cast of Jamaica' on Wednesday afternoon by his wife Jessie, daughter of William E.

Everett of Jamaica, In company her sjster Edna. A resident of this place who is a relative the wife's family and thoroughly acquainted with the (acts, told an Eagle reporter this noon that Disbrow alighted at Queens station Wednesday afternoon and sent a messenger to his wife at Jamaica, with whom he has not been living for three or four years. Mrs. Everett, the mother, said: "You may go if you take your sister along with you." The two drove over to the station, where the' met Disbrow. The Eagle's informant said: "Jessie and her sister told me he looked terrible.

His face was badly scratched up and bruised, bis clothing torn and he 'looked as though he had been in a regular fight. "He said to Jessie, 'I want to see you alone for a She said, 'You can see me and talk to me in the presence of my sister or not at "At this he said, 'Jessie, I wanted to have a talk with you before I bid you goodby, but I will now bid you As he waved his he walked off and Jessie and William Eieiett. the father of Jessie when seen by an Eagle reporter, expressed himself as averse to talking about the mat ter, but said that the above statement is correct in every particular. The Eagle reporter was informed at the Richmond Hill Bank that several checks drawn upon the Richmond Hill Bank, pur to have been signed by Louis' father, Thomas Disbrow, were returned by the father, who refused to pay them. Two of these checks were cashed by the River i head Bank and one by the Southampton Bank, and the loss will fall upon those in stitutions.

Louis A. Disbrow, the missing man, is about 27 years of age and was born near Jamaica. His father, Thomas Disbrow, was formerly a well known Fulton Market meat dealer, lie afterward also engaged in the fertilizer manufacturing business, the concern being located on Newtown Creek. Mr. and Mrs who were highly esteemed residents of Jamaica, later of Asto ria.

nd are now respected citizens of Richmond Kill, have three sens and two daughters. Louis, when young, when living at Astoria, was considered wild, and his father ap prc ntieed him aboard the schoolsbio St. Mary. When he married Mies Everett, about five years ago. he was a bookkeeper for Swift Si the big meat and provision house.

He then lived in President street, Brooklyn. Shortly after he was married he got out of his job and came with his family to Jamaica, where lie lived with his father While there he seemed to show no disposition to set any work, and Mr. Everett told him he would have to go elsewhere to When Refused, Man Removed Wooden Leg and Assaulted Police. During the storm of last night. Policeman Gallagher of the Bedford avenue station, while at Broadway and Havemeyer street, found a shabbily dressed man lying apparently insensible in the gutter.

He failed to arouse him and had him removed to the Bedford avenue station, where Sergeant Kiernan and half a dozen policemen worked over the man without avail. Dr. Deutsche of the Eastern District Hospital was called, and when he examined the water soaked form lying on the floor he said the man was shamming. A feW whiffs from an ammonia bottle were sufficient, to bring the fellow round. He turned over, however, after surveying the surroundings, and lapsed into a peaceful sleep.

He was again aroused and said that he was James Palmer of Washington and that, as he had no home, he wanted a night's lodging at the station. Doorman Kelly was ordered to put him out, but while he was trying to comply with the order the man unscrewed a wooden leg and prococded to beat him over the body with it. With the assistance of several of the reserves, Kelly overpowered the man and he was locked up as a disorderly person. When arraigned before Magistrate Hlgginbotbam Palmer said that he had traveled all over the country and had never experienced any difficulty with the police until last night. He was sent to jail pending an examination on Monday.

SAYS FENCE MUST GO. Fortified by Opinion of Corporation Counsel, Will Notify New York Dock Company. Corporation Counsel George L. Rives has decided that the New York Dock Company must remove the fence at King and Ferris streets, Brooklyn. Word to that effect, with a typewritten copy of the opinion of the Corporation Counsel, was received by Commls sional Redfleld to day.

In his opinion Mr. Rives takes the ground that the fence is an obstruction to the street within the meaning of the city ordinance. He then advises Commissioner Redfieid to order the removal at once! Mr. Redfieid said that be would follow the advice of the Corporation Counsel. If the dock company does not comply with the order, there will be more work for Engineer Tilson and the gang of rapid fire street elearers who tore up the tracks cn Humboldt street yesterday.

The fence built by the dock company, at King and Ferris streets was built for the purpose of preventing the poor people of the neighborhood from using the dock for a fresh air meeting place during the summer. It has caused great dissatisfaction and ill feeling among them, and the order of the Corporation Counsel will be a great boon to them. A $100,000 DIAMOND BUNCO Charged by Brooklyn Firm Against Broker Arrested in Atlantic City.

OTHER OUTRAGES THREATENED. End of Fifth Week of Coal Strike Shows No Signs of Weakening on Either Side. Hazleton, June 14 The home of James Applegate at West Hazleton was badly shattered early to day by an explosion of dyna mite which had been placed near the side of the building by unknown parties. The family escaped ipjuiy.

Applegate has been employed as a special officer at the Cranberry Colliery since the strike went Into effect. Frank Pardee, superintendent of the Cranberry Colliery, offers a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the dynamiters. He says bloodhounds will be brought here to assist the police in running down the guilty parties. Applegate, while returning from the Cranberry Colliery, whither he had gone to report off for the day on account of the explosion and the consequent shock to himself and family, was held up by two men and relieved of bis revolver. He made no resistance, as four other armed men stcod close by ready to assist, if necessary, In overpowering him.

Applegate knows the men and they will be arrested. Mrs. Applegate says she was told by a West Hazleton man that fourteen houses will be dynamited if the men occupying them did not stop working at surrounding mines. Policemen are now looking for the person who Is alleged to have made this threat. Wilkesbarre, June 14 To day ends the fifth week of the anthracite coal miners' strike.

Neither side has weakened an inch aud each side stands just as firmly as it did thirty five days ago. As the days go by it becomes more apparent that it is a case of the survival of the fittest. Neither the miner nor the operator has anything further to propose, and if a solu tion of the dispute is to come it looks very much as though it will have to come from a third psrty. The entire region was quiet to day, aDd the territory affected by the strike presents a Sunday like appearance. Includins those who are not' on strike, but are affected by the suspension, there are approximately 165,000 men and boys idle.

The efforts of the strike leaders to bring cut the fire bosses are not meeting with as much success as they expected. President Mitchell to day received advices from West Virginia which, he says, are extremely favorable to the strikers. One telegram from the Kanawha and New River districts, where a total of 13,000 men are employed, says that. 12,100 men are on strike in that territory. The statement printed to and alleged to be from an official close to the large coal companies, to the effect that the strike is teaching the operators lb, 'economize the working force at their mries and that after the strike is over less than 100,000 men will be used in the mines.

Is denounced as a "fake." General Manager Warringer of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company said torday that neither his company nor the New Jersey Central Railway know anything of the origin of the story. A prominent' official of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company also denied ali knowledge of the statement. President Mitchell says the idea embodied in the statement Is absurd, even from the operators' viewpoint. The heavy rains of last night had little or no effect on the mines. Water is slowly accumulating In some collieries, but the company officials say.

they have the situation well in hand. The Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Company is havlngconslderabletroublewith its Nottingham colliery, at Plymouth. A portion of the working lies under the Susquehanna River, and the waer in the mine is rising more rapidly than it did a few days ago. Shamokin, June A carload of coal and iron police and a number of non union firemen and engineers arrived here to day from Pottsville and were taken to the North Franklin colliery, at Treverton. The ope ration Is owned by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Cpmpany, and has been flooded since the firemen's strike.

Pumps were started shortly after the nonunion men arrived. ART EXHIBIT STILL OPEN. The exhibit of the pictures and sketches of the Adelphi art department will remain on view for a few days longer, the interest manifested in them being such as to warrant an extension of the time for showing them. GONE FIVE YEABS. When Coffee Loft the Troablea Disap peared.

It is hard to make people understand that coffee really will do business for tliem if they stick to it long enough. It is almost a certainty that some littlo symptom disease, stomacli trouble, or kidney or heart trouble, caused by coffee drinking will ultimately develop Into some fixed organic disease unless the on use of the disturbance is removed. An illustration niny not be amiss. A lady in Kearney says. "I used coffee a great many years.

Gradually my health broke down. I had dyspepsia and was extremely nervous. I passed many sleepless nights biir, like many other, did not know what was the cause of my invalidism. Finally the trouble centered into fatty tuinor just over the stomach and in the resiion of the heart, causing acute pain in the stomach ami a spasmodic' action of the heart. A surgical operation i was deemed necessary, but after all the.

preparations were made a good. old. honest doctor suggested that I take treatment a little longer and leave off coffee and take Postuni and some Grape Xuts Breakfast Food. I began on Postuni and had it made properly' by long boiling and found it delicious and drunk two cups the first morning. After two weeks I discovered a marked chance for the better.

In five montns my supposen "ii pen red, my headaches were gone and dl .1.. sestiou wholly restored. My heart ouiy gave me trouble a few times. Ibat was live years ago. I have been a steady user of Postum ever since and am a new creature to day.

Am in strong aud vigorous health and know exactly how to account for it. The ignorance of people on the subject: of coffee is a constant wonder to me, although, at one time, of course, I was just as much in the dark as any one could be, going along year after year putting into my body the poison that was killing nie and' never knowing it." Name given by Postuni Battle Mich. IN THE R. T. About 600 Property Owners Represented by Thomas Fitz hugh Lee in Contest.

THEIR POSITION EXPLAINED. Justice Gaynor's Commissioners' Report Is Not Final No Surrender the Policy. There will be a bitter contest over the confirmation of the report of Commissioners William E. Hurd, Charles H. Wright and John R.

Farrar in their condemnation pro ceedings of Myrtle avenue easements. The report will be offered for confirmation be fore Justice Gaynor next week, and nearly 1,000 property owners along the lines of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company are interested in seeing that the report is defeated. The commissioners recently awarded cents damages in four cases, one of which was Caroline J. Tredwell of 241 and 243 Myrtle avenue. These decisions put the legal department of the trolley company in high feather, and there will be a strenuous effort on the part of the trolley company's lawyers to get the report confirmed.

Lawyer Thomas' Fitzhugh Lee, counsel for Mrs. Treauwell, had this to say to day in references to the cases: "In the article published in the Eagle of June 11, relative to 6 cent awards made by the commissioners appointed by the courts, the facts as stated need some explanation. The circumstances surrounding those 6 cent verdicts show the following facts "In regard to 241 and 243 Myrtle avenue, owned by Caroline J. Tredwell, the premises had been purchased by the owner about two years before the action was commenced at what appeared to be a very reasonable figure. "It may be that the commissioners took a view of the case that this man was not entitled to the damage of this property, ac crued previous to the time he became the owner of the same.

It is a reasonable proposition and one which is generally accepted by laymen, that a party purchasing a piece of property with the railroad in in the street cannot recover for any damages caused to this property while in the hands of preceding owners, but the law as laid down by the Court of Appeals of this state in Pappenheira vs. Met. E. R. 128 N.

436, decided that he is entitled to the permanent or fee damage from the time of the erection of the structure and the operation of the railroad to the time of the trial of the action. And this law has been followed in every case wherein the question of subsequent ownership has arisen. The decision of the commissioners in this case, however, is not final, and the same must be passed upon by a judge sitting in Special Term for conflrm anee. as attorney for Catharine J. Tredwell, will oppose the conflrmance of this verdict on the grounds that it is contrary to law and the evidence in the cose.

A leading authority in this department is the case of De Wrint B. E. R. R. In this action the plantlff purchased his property in January, 1900, and the action was commenced in April, 1900, and the case was tried on or about June 16, 1900, before Justice Sewell, who awarded a fee damage of $1,925 on a two story and basement frame house, situated on a plot of land i8x 100, and known as Xo.

231 Adams street, although it had been shown that the owner of this property, Mrs; 'Litchfield, "had paid $6,500 or the same in 1887." "In reference to the second six cent verdict on 364 362 Myrtle avenue, a similar state of tacts was presented as in the case of Catharine J. rft edwellk but there is no authority for the presumption that these verdicts wiil be affirmed or that a new trial will not be granted if the court finds that the questions of fact and law presented were improperly passed upon or that the evidence was not properly considered. The case of Hageman referred is under appeal and until the appellate division of this department decides the questions therein presented it is hot fair to the property owners to consider this verdict final. "In strong contrast to the four verdicts above referred to. and on which the railroad company seems to lay so much stress, are the following verdicts affirmed, by the appellate division of this department, and all of which have been rendered since June 16, 1900: "144 146 Adams street, vacant lot.

"155 Adams street, two story and basement brick house, lot 20x50, $3,500. "60 High street, lot 25x100, two storv frame buildings, S2.040. "62 Nassau street, 20x75, two story building, frame house, $1,240. "229 Adams street, two story and basement frame house, lot 18x100, $2,450. "231 Adams street, two story and basement frame house, lot lSxlOO, $1,925.

"305 Adams street, lot three story building, occupied for building purposes, $3,100. "210 Myrtle avenue, lot 20x75, three story building. $3,100. "184 and 494 Myrtle avenue, two three story brick buildings on lots 20x80 each, $4,550. "51S Myrtle avenue, lot 18x100, three story brick.

$1,000. "The following settlements have been mp.rte with the railroad company when the cases were on the calendar and they were in the position of having to fight the same out before the courts: "240 and 242 Adams street, $3, COO. "276 87 50 Fulton street, $2,500. "Corner of Wilioughby street and Grand avenue, property fronting on Wilioughby avenue. $1,500.

"257 Grand avenue, property purchased by George Boemmermann about ouo year ago, $1,250. "Ail of these settlements were made during the montli ot March of this year, and in no one of the cases was there any unusual facts presented. "The commissioners recently appointed by this court have awarded George Kidney, the owner qf 111 Fifth avenue, a fee damage of $750; Henrietta Eisig, the owner of 76 1 766 Mvrtle avenue, a vacant lot and wheel wright shop, the sum of $750; to Henrietta Drury, owner of 195 Adams street, the sum of to Alonzo E. DeBann, owner of the vacant plot purchased by the owner about one year ago for $1,600, $400. "In all of these awards made by the commissioners there is still the property owners' action for rental damages, and same is now pending in the courts and will be tried before a judge and jury during the fall term of the courts, so that the damages awarded by the commissioners are practically about one half of the property owners' full damag.e.

"I represent nearly 600 property owners of this borough and it is a matter of importance to those COO property owners that there be no misleading statements made regarding their rights and that the exact situation be properly presented to the public. "Until those actions had been commenced and the verdicts rendered uo property owner on upper Fulton street, with rare excep tious. had been offered any money whatever. This is true as to Broadway, Third avpnuo, Fifth avenue, Eastern parkway, Snedlker avenue and. in fact, most every street, with the exception of Adams street and lower Myrtle avenue.

Since that time settlements have been offered daily, as all of my clients In these streets will personally testify to, so that even the railroad company practically admit the damage they do to the property." PRACTICING AT CREEDMOOR. About 240 men of the Second Naval Battalion went to Creedmoor this morning for practice at the State Rifle Range. The battalion was in command of Captain R. P. Forshew, and left headquarters, at the foot of Fifty fifth street.

The Mount Pleasant hole was halved in 5, and then Manice improved her lead at the sixth hole, which she won in 5, and then she landed a par 3 for the 7th hole, which gave her the lead by 3 With the lead well in hand Mrs. Manice had but little difficulty in increasing it at every hole.

James McHugh, night watchman at the city dump at the foot of Gold street, was beaten and robbed on John street, near Gold, last r.lght about 10 o'clock, while on his way t6 work.

Three men, representative toughs, who infest that neighborhood, asked McHugh for the price of a drink. He gave them 15 cents, and in doing so thoughtlessly exhibited a small roll of $1 and $2 bills. The men grabbed for the roll, and McHugh started down John street, running and crying, "Police!" "Murder!" Of course, no wide awake policeman was in two blocks of the place, and the three men overtook McHugh, knocked him down, kicked him. best him, and ended by slashing him across the face with a knife. They took his roll of money, $8, and walked away.

The police didn't know anything about the robbery untii a long while The robbery of McHugh. says Deputy Inspector Sullivan of the Street Cleaning Department, in charge of the Gold street dump, was not at all surprising. That part of the city is overrun with a gang of toughs, about twenty in number, whom the police of the Fulton street station do not seem to interfere with. "Thoy hang around the saloon at he corner of Gold and John and Gold and Plymouth streets," said Mr. Sullivan tfcis morning, "and on Tuesday night they beat up two of the Italian drivers connected with the Street Cleaning Department.

The policemen don't come down In this" section at all. They have been neglecting it all the while and I have made repeated requests that they pay more attention to this part of the precinct; but 'I guess(they consider it too long a walk. The policemen are worthless and apparently make no effort to break up this gang of loafers who hang around the saloons." CAPTAIN IRWIN RETURNS. Among the passengers who arrived to day on the steamer Cienfuegos, from Cuba, was Captain Francis G. Irwin, former collector cu cuaioros at Santiago.

A Bronx Principal and Bingham ton Official Named for District Superintendenciss. BROOKLYN CLAIMS ONE OFFICE. Action of Board of Superintendents Needs Confirmation Appointment of Outsider Will Be Opposed. No little indignation has been aroused in local educational circles over the announcement of the nomination of the district su perintendents to fill the two vacancies which have existed for some weeks. The Brooklyn associate superintendents made a determined fight to have one oi the posi tions go to a local principal, but their fight was ineffectual.

The two men who have been nominated by the Board of Superintendents are Dr. Joseph Taylor, principal of Public School No. 19 of the Bronx, and Darwin L. Bardwell, superintendent of schools of Binghamton, N. Y.

Dr. Taylor has been nominated as a result of the efforts of people in the Bronx to have a person from that borough appointed on the list of district superintendents. The failure of the Brooklyn superintendents to secure the nomination of a Brooklyn man for the place has caused no little discussion, and there has been widespread condemnation of the action of the Board of Superintendents in going outside the city for a man to fill the position which has been looked upon as a promotion from the prlncipalsbip. So great has been the feeling aroused that it seems possible that the Brooklyn mem bers of the Board of Education will unite in an effort to prevent the board from' electing Mr. Bardwell to the position for which the superintendents have nominated him.

It has been a well known fact that City Superintendent William H. Maxwell has looked with favor upon the policy of seek ing men outside the city to flu the mgn salaried positions in the educational system. His argument is that the city should have the best that it is possible to get, and the action of the Board of Superintendents was foreshadowed some weeks ago, when Dr. Maxwell, iu a conference with the district superintendents, said that the salaries in the local school system should be high enough to be an inducement for persons outside the city to accept them. At one time during the contest for the position of district superintendent the prospects were bright for a Brooklyn man securing the place.

The contest was admitted to be between two of the local principals, Lu queer and Preston, the former being favored by Dr. Maxwell and the latter by the anti Maxwell members of the board of superintendents. When It became evident that the latter party was gaining strength other mat ters, said to De of more importance, ere taken up by the associate superintendents and the matter of electing the district superintendents was allowed to paes. When it was found that Principal Luqueer could not secure the position the suggestion was made thqt some one outside the school system ought to be selected to filll the vacancy and when it was evident that this plan could be put through successfully, the question of the nomination of the district, superintendents w.as brought up by Dr. Maxwell in the meeting of the district superintendents, and the result' was that' the nominations went through without a hitch.

These nominations have to be ratified by the Board of Education and It is there that' the Brooklyn members will be called upon to make a last fight. Another element has been antagonized by the nominations because of the failure. of the Board of Superintendents to elect a woman to fill the position formerly occupied by Mrs. Anna Gordon. The efforts of those who favored women superintendents were untiring, but ns was the case in the fight for a Brooklyn man success wta lacking.

The action of the Board of Superintendents in refusing the place to a woman is in line with the policy adopted earlier in the year of refusing to elect women to positions higher than those of principals of the elementary schools. Seldom before has there been so much general dissatisfaction over nominations made by the Board of Superintendents as in this instance, and the prospects of a determined contest in the Board of Education are bright unless influence is brought to bear to prevent it. Now that the nominations have been made, the Board of Education will be called upon to decide in a way the contention of Associate Superintendent Walsh that be is entitled to a longer term. Under the new charter no provision is made for the election of superintendents to fill out the unexpired term and the contention is made that the nominations must now be made for the full term of six years. The bylaw committee of the Board of Education will be called upon to pass upon this question before the next meeting of the board.

If the decision i3 that the new superintendents are to be appointed for the six ent of BrookI wi not eni untjI 1907 ae he is now contending, TWO HORSE STEALING CHARGES. Two complaints of horse stealing were made against John Homburger, 34 years old, who says he has no home, in the Manhattan avenue court this morning.

The prisoner pleaded not guilty and was held in $1,000 ball for examination on Monday.

24 YEARS I the Standard of Excellence 1 IUDERWEAR SPECIAL LIGHT WEIGHTS FOR SUMMERS Illustrated Catalogue Free jjj I He Understands That Odell Will Name a Republican for Supreme Court. DIFFICULTIES ABOUT FUSION. The Greater New York Democracy Must Be Democratic on the State Ticket This Year. Senator Thomas C. Piatt denied this morning.

that there was any deal in sight'for a Fusion ticket on Supreme Court justices the coming fall. It has been asserted that preliminary to that arrangement Governor Odell ivould appoint some man namod by the Greater New York Democracy to one of the vacancies now existing. During the year three Judges have died, and two of the places have been filled, one by Alfred Steekler and a second by Ernest Hall. Justice Steekler is a Democrat, but not allied with the Greater New York Democracy. Judge Hall is a Republican and was indorsed by the Republican leaders in New York' County.

The third place is unfilled, and there has been reason to believe that an appointment might be made to induce fusion. Governor Odell has not indicated what he would do. It may be remarked that the Greater New York Democracy seems anxious to bring about an agreement such as that which. resulted In the election of Mayor Low last fall, particularly if the third place is given to one of their people, preferably "William Hepburn Russell or Rastus S. Ransom.

It is reported that Governor Odell and President Roosevelt are interested in securing the largest possible vote for the Republican ticket, so as to make sure of the candidates on the state ticket and as many Congressmen as possible. Senator Piatt was reported to be indifferent as to what course should be taken and not to be very much impressed with the advantages of a Fusion campaign. He was asked this morning If an agreement on a Democrat for the third judgeship was likely. No, I don't think so, replied senator Piatt. "1 understand the Governor is going to appoint a man of Republican proclivities." "It is said that either William Hepburn Russell or Rastus S.

Ransom of tae Greater New York Democracy may be appointed, and that In return that organization will support the Republican candidate for the Supreme Court bench?" "You are on the wrong tack," replied Senator Piatt, dryly. Have you seen Governor oaeii since your return?" "No, I haven't." Senator Piatt also said that he had been so busy with other matters that he had had no. time to give to the consideration of candidates for the lieutenant governorship. Governor Odell is said to have been in town last night and there wa3 a report that he and Senator Piatt had met, but that is denied on all sides. One newspaper had it this morning that in return for the appointment of either Mr.

Russell or former Surrogate Ransom an agreement would be mutually reached on candidates for Assembly and Senate. That statement caused a smile. In the first place. the Greater New York Democracy people are Sayihg; that they are really fierce partisans and that thy went out of their way last fall to vote for Low only for the general good and salvation of the city. They propose' to participate in the nomination and election this fall of a Democratic governor.

It would therefore be a strange procedure for them to turn in and help elect Republican members of the Legislature, which Is to co operate with their governor and elect Senator Piatt's successor. Certain members of the' Greater New York Democracy are saying that an agreement on Mr. Russell would be much easier than on Mr. Ransom, because the former would satisfy the Citizens' Union people better. The opinion in Republican circles seems to be to the effect that Governor Odell will appoint an independent Republican of commanding legal abilities and one who will suit the Citizens' union.

Of course a fusion on Supreme Court Judges could be brought about at the time the conventions are held, and It is suggested that even if Mr. Russell should not he named now he might be nominated and supported by the old Fusion elements. Ordinarily it is the custom of a Governor to make an appointment which is apt to be followed up by a nomination. The outlook for Fusion success is considered good by some people who believe the Tammany fight will be' an Important factor. CAPTAIN DRISC0LL ACTIVE.

The police of the Coney Island station got busy last night and a dozen women were arrested and locked up on a charge of being disorderly persons.

The proprietor was taken before Magistrate Voorhees this morning in the Coney Island court and was charged with keeping a disorderly house. The others were charged with being suspicious persons. They were locked up. The last named raid is the first made at Coney Island in some time and the captain says he is determined to root out the dens and dives if he can. He has been bothered considerably of late by the dissolute women but the proprietors of many places on the isiaad continue to harbor them.

It is ex pectcd that from now on Captain Driscoll will keep a element. strict watch on the disorderly STRTjCK BY A LOCOMOTIVE.
