Tho proposition to consolidate colored school No. G8 and school No. 8.1, which occupy thesamo building on chenectady avenue, will, it Ib ex plied that ho did not know anything about the reported resignation; that he had just been sworn in and was about to receive the different chiefs of bureau, and that if it had boon true he supposed the President would havo notified him. Secretary Carlisle said, however, that he had not gono through his mail yet and probably would not bo able to do so until lata in tho afternoon. It is worthy of comment, however, that the Democratic politicians, as a general thing, believe the story and receive it with considerable delight, becnuso they seem to be impressed with the fact that Presidont Cleveland will follow out his former policy and that of ex President Hur rison, und allow the recent holders of the big offices to serve their time out: that is to say, that he will not appoint their successors until they have come to the end of the periods for which they wore appointed.

All the new cabinet officers were at their desks to day and have their hands full receiving would be office seekers and friends. Congressman Coombs called upon Secretary Herbert this morning, upon Hoke Smith and upon Colonel Lamont. To tho latter ho pleaded for tho promotion of Colonel Loomls Langdon to the vacant brigadiorgeneralship. Mr. Coombs has taken up Colonel Langdon's case with his usual vim and force and has high hopes of succeeding in inducing Secretary Lamont to give Colonel Langdon the promotion.

As ho has only two years to serve, and. if ho does not get the brigadier generalship now, ho will be ro tirod a colonel. Congressman Clancy and Manner, who have both done yeoman service in the entertainment of tho visiting Brooklyn statesmen during the past fow days, expect to return homo to morrow. Congressman Clancy, however, will undoubtedly be heard ot rrequontly in Washington during the next lew months. Tho announcement in last night's Eagle of ex Sheriff Albert Daggett's avowed intention to join the Democratic party created quite a sensation among Hepublican "statesmen in this city.

Yesterday's Eaolb was on sale on tho streets and in he hotels of Washington at 12 o'clock last night, and as it was tho only Brooklyn paper in town large numbers of it wero very quickly disposed of. The hundreds of Brooklynites who have been staying at the capital for the last few days are loud in their praise of the enterprise of the Eaolb in securing the special sale of tho paper during tho inauguration on tho day of its publication, and they commented with surpriso and favor on tho fact that they could buy their Eagle in Washington for 3 cents. CLEVELAND'S VISITORS. The Ituvli of Uk Office Seekers Bcg ins at the White Hnc. By the United Press.

Washington, D. March 7 The steady tramp, tramp of the office seeker sounded through the White House all day. There was practically no cessation in the lino, of people who ascended tho stairway leading to the President's room and nearly all who camo saw Mr. Cleveland. They found him in a jovial humor and ho cracked jokes with old acquaintances whom ho had not seen since his departure from Washington four years ago.

While a large number of those who saw tho President are candidates for office, few of tnem attempted to press their claims," and congressmen with long lists of constituents who are willing to work for Uncle Sam wero discreet enough not to ask for favors, but to simply pay their respects. Tho members of tho United States supreme court, with tho exception of Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Harlan, camo early, in accordance with custom. Congressman Meredith of Virginia came with a delegation of friends; Congressman Henderson North Carolina was on similar duty. Congressman Bland of Missouri left his hobby of free silver outside tho door when he went into Mr. Cleveland's room.

Congressman Hol man of Indiana, the watch dog of the treasury, cracked his joke with the Preiident. Ex Congressman Rogers of Arkansas, who was mentioned as a candidate for thu attorney generalship in Mr. Cleveland's cabinet, came, bo he said, to renew his acquaintance. He was not after an office, said Mr. Rogers, and if the lightning were to strike him he would be the XOUng HepUDllCanS DO UOt beem tO Mourn His Loss.

The assessors against whom tho motion is directed arc those who served under ex Mayor Oleasoii und whom Mayor Ranford deposed on January 27.

As to tho charge that the assessors had domauded $300 apiece beforo signing tho rolls, Mr. Stevens declared that there was no truth in such an assertion. The mandamus was granted.

Ex Reynolds tJrees This as Reason for Adjourning the Motion for Final Judgment on the Findings of the Jnry, nntl Succeeds In Carrying His Point An Adjournment Taken to the Fourth Monday In the Month To day's Prnceedinzs. The suit for divorce brought by Mnrio Bcllo Langley against her husband, William H.

Langloy, came up to day before Justice Pratt sitting at special term of tho supreme court. It was the usual motion for judgment on the findings of the jury made in cases of this kind. From what was said by counsel in court it np pcars that the rumors heretofore current to the effect that a settlement between tho parties was pending are truti and that the courts will not again be called upon to pass on the occurrences that havo broken up one of the prominent homes on the heights. The matter came up to day on a motion for judgment on tho finding of tho jury returned before Justice Landon at circuit, sometime ago. The facts in the case, as then so extensively made public, are still remembered.

Mrs. Lang ley accused her husband of having held improper relations with an unknown woman at thu United States hotel in New York. The jury returned a verdict for tho defendant, finding him innocent of tho charges made. When the case camo up to day ex Judge Reynolds, who appeared for Mrs. Langloy, asked thut the matter go off the present term.

Tho reason for the request, ho said, was that a settlement was pending. He could pay to the court that the negotiations were nearly completed. A settlement would probably bo reached during the week or, iit tho latest, during next week. In view of this of affairs Judge Reynolds thought it advisable and to the best intorests of all concerned to havo tho case adjourned. Mr.

Crandall, who represented Mr. Langley, did not want the case to go over, but Judge l'ratt set it down for tho fourth Monday in tho month. As to tho exact nature of tho settlement pending between Mrs. Langley and her husband, no further information could" gained aside from that made pviblic in court. There is little doubt, however, that such a settlement will be negotiated before the case is again reaohod on the supreme court calendar.

DE LUCCA'S FOURTH WIFE Was a Recent Arrival From Sunny Italy. The Other Three Are Alive, Healthy and, Ac cordinj; to His Way or Thinking, Extremely Vigerous One Charges the Sculptor With Abandonment, and the Others Stand Ready to Kelp Her The Man is Sow In Jail. Michael Angelo De Lucca, the sculptor who is accused of having three wives, was a prisoner in the Lee avenue police court to day.

The charge against him was only one of abandonment, but the three wives who came to court before wero all on hand, and they wore accompanied by a fourth, whose identity thoy had just discovered. Although not handsome in appearance, M. Angelo De Lucca is a very gay deceiver, indeed. He admits that he is a much married man, but as all the marriages were solemnized in Italy lis doe3 not see why he should bo prosecuted here. Numbers one, two and three of De Lucca's wives gave their names as Con stansa Solomicco, Mario De Lucca and Maria Becka, tho first named being tho original wife.

Each one of them had separate apartments in the Italian quarters of the eastern district, and each one claims to have believed that she was the only wife. About three months ago De. Lucca told his wives, one by ono, that ho had been given a contract to cut. a statue for an Italian society and that they bad made him consent to being locked up in a room until his work was completed. He bade each one of them an affectionate adieu and they did not see him again until he was brought to court to day.

It seems that De Lucca did not go to Mulberry street, as ho had announced, but instead went to Italy. He returned about ton days ago on the steamship Plata, bringing with him his fourth jwife, wbose maiden namo is Rosle Annetto. Officers Short and Stanton of the charities department were put on the case, acting under the complaint of wife No. 1, and arrested De Lucca lost night at 41 Mulberry street, New York, where he had started housekeeping with the latest partner of his joys and sorrow. She was highly indignant when she learned the facts in the case, aud packing up her belongings went to live with the other three wives at 41 Havemeycr street, where she mingled her tears wltii tueirs.

"It's a badly mixed up case," Bald Officer Short, "and if these women ever get through fighting about who has the prior right in the matter they will probably prosecute him for bigamy." One of tho wives said in court that they would not prosecute tho man if he gave them each Sl a week, but when this was communicated to Do Lucca it did not cheer him up to any perceptible extent. Justice Connelly held De Lucca to await trial on tho abandonment charge. TWO KINGS COUXTY ORGANIZATIONS ARRIYE The jtlcKane aud Constitution Club itcmbcni Home The John McKano men and the members of the Constitution club who went to Washington to witness the inauguration have got home. They reached Brooklyn at 9:30 o'clock last night. The McEane men left the national capital ot 10:30 o'clock yesterday morning and the otner party left by special train at 1 o'clock.

Before the McEane party bad reached tho Nashiminey falls station, on the line between Philadelphia and Trenton junction, a coal train jumped the track at that spot and delayed traffic for several hours. Tho Constitution club's train arrived in due time, and tho members on board laughed unfeelingly at the big Coney Island chief and his followers. Rations ou both trains had given out and, as there was no place within several miles where a successful foraging expedition could be conducted, the Coney Island men wont hungry. Finally, when the wreck wus cleared away, tho trains Dro oeodod nnd both organizatfons got back in Brooklyn without further delay. HISS DECKKIt XOT ENGAGK).

The opposition to this change will bo made by the players, because such state of affairs would give now men a chance to twirl the sphere ami would weaken some of the ola pitchers, who aro so used to throwing a ball at short range. The difficulty may be overcome by a compro iriise and the pitcher be placed back only live feet.

Captain Ogilvie xiiiuUw an Iceberg or a Wreck Captain Ogilvie of the Saint lino steamship was a happy man to day when the big steamship was tied up at Dow's Columbia pier, for ho had just finished his worst experience on tho Atlantic ocean. Tho fore nnd aft cattle ilttings were entirely wnshod away, not stick of them remaining except those on the bridge and on the poop dock, and the port rails had been carried away opposite tho after hatches. When asked about his experiences, Captain Ogilvio said: "The weather since wo left Liverpool on February' 15, was awful and no ono ever saw any thing like our log. Tho whole voyage was made in a living gale of wind, tho ship burying herself in tho tremendous seas. Once in a whilo the wind would chop around to tho southwest and ease up a little, then it would be right back again over our bows, the seas washing the ontlro length of the ship.

All our cattle Ilttings are gono, with tho exception of these you see, in fact, thoy kept going all the time." "You saw nothing of ths missing White Star steamship NaronieV" "The Naronio is gone, I am almost certain. She left Liverpool on February 10, that is live days before tho Saint Xnoch, and there Is hardly a doubt that she is lost." "Might she not have made the Azores, or been towed there?" 'So; ii she had arrived there she would have been reported long before this. I would not swear that there is a cable to St. Michaels, but I would bet dollars to cents that there is." "I believe that the Naronie either 6truek an iceberg or derelict wreck. Wo come the southern route, but those other ships take tho northern one, which is very much north of our route, nnd I generally find myself very much north of where I should be.

Iu the track followed by these ships that are always pushing to save time they save about ono hundred miles, but there are always icebergs, no matter what season of the year it may be, and I have no doubt that the Naronic either was in a collision with one or with a derelict, and that she is gone." Everyone on board is of the same opinion as Captaiu Ogilvio. The Sit. Enoch was twenty I days out, making her eight days overdue; tho Naronic is twenty Qvo days, making her fifteen I days overdue and if lost will be another con flrmation of the old seafaring superstition as tho Whito Star steamship sailed from the Mer sey on Friday. February 10. She passed a quantity of deck fittings und barrels of pro visions.

Tho Alsatia of the Anchor line, from tho I Mediterranean ports, is also overdue, but far no uneasiness is expressed about her. BROUGHT BACK TO BROOKLYN'. Henry TOofir. Scliavarcz's Bookkeeper, IMcn.il Twice on One Charge. Henry Mohr, the bookkeeper for John A.

i i I i I i I How Kings County Stands With President Cleveland. THERE SEEMS TO BE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING. The Commissioner Will Probably Be the Bfedlnm Between "Boss" McLaughlin and the AdministrationAn Outcropping or Local Aspirants for Federal Office Expected Soon James Gel son Strongly Backed for Public Printer The Jefferson Hall Braves Depart for Borne, and Say Sarcastic Things About the Constitution Club Crowd Talk About the Next Collector ship or the Port The Home Comlnz or JIc Kane's Merry Men. Special to the Eagle.l WABHnfOTON, D. March 7 "I shall probably be on to see you often during your administration." said 'Williani A.

Furey' to President Cleveland beforo leaving Washington. "I had no doubt of. It," replied Mr. Cleveland, smiling. The significance of this colloquy is that Hugh McLaughlin and the Kings county Democratic organization expect to control the patronage at their end of the line and that Mr.

Furey will. In the language of the boys, do the running, ceing interpreted into plain, every day English, means that he will be the ambassador from the veteran leader to the great disposer in the White Houss. Air. Furey did much of the running eight years ago, and it had a great deal to do with running hiin out of the sheriff's office. Patronage is a two edged sword ami it cuts all who have anything to do with the distribution of it.

Mr. Furey is said to be a candidate for the nomination for sheriff this year. He does not admit that he is. Possibly the loeal outlook is not so rosy that he cares to take his chances again. In the opinion oi old heads his selectiou by Mr.

McLaughlin to act in this representative capacity indicates that Mr. Furey has about decided not to seek a nomination this year. Mr. McLaughlin started for Brooklyn to day. Ho says he has had a delightful experience, and If surface indications, and the talk of those who profess to be in a position to know, amount to anything, his visit from a political viewpoint hus been a complete success.

During Mr. McLaughlin's stay in Washington ho has had several interviews with President Cleveland and members of the cabinet and the meetings have been of the most cordial character. When other men of influence have found it impossible or very difficult to gain access to the President, tho doors have been open to Mr. McLaughlin, and he has gone in and out at will. The relations betiveen the President and Mr.

MoLaughlia have been and are of the most friendly kind and Mr. McLaughlin has no reason to believe that ho will not be consulted in reference to Brooklyn appointments. Yesterday afternoon ho met Secretary Lamont and had a brief talk with him. Mr. Lamont has visited Mr.

McLaughlin at his home in Brooklyn several times during the past few months, so that the communications between Mr. Cleveland and the local organization has been uninterrupted. Mr. McLaughlin appears to bo much amused whenever It is suggested that Mr. Cleveland will consult the onti snappers rather than the rogular organization in Brooklyn.

He certainly returns to Brooklyn in the belief that his "Dull" with the administration wtl? nr least as potent as it was eight years ago. He probably does not expect to get everything he wants. He didn't get it under the first Democratic restoration. He does expect to be consulted about most things, so for as Kings county is concerned. Ho may have occasion to visit Washington as he visited it under the former Cleveland administration; but for the most part Mr.

Furey will come on, while Congressmen Coombs and Clancy will also look out for the interests of the organization. Mr. Coombs is on intimate terms with President Cleveland and Mr. Cleveland has great confi dence in his judgment. The return of Mr.

McLaughlin to Brooklyn will be followed by the appearance of candidates for appointments who have thus far kept under covor, many of them waiting, no doubt, to see just how solid the big fellow was to be with the administration. The only man who seems to havo mado an open and above Doard effort to secure a place is James Gelson. Mr. who came here with the rogular party representatives, is a candidate for the office of public printer and his papers have been or will shortly be presented to the President. He is backed by the printers' union and by the home Democratic organization.

Mr. McLaughlin strongly favors his appointment and the local congressional delegation has signed for him. Mr. McLaughlin says that no man could have a stronger backing. The Kings county delegation left for home at 11 o'clock this morning.

The ranks had been much reduced by desertions since Saturday, so that only about one hundred and twenty live men remained to march to the depot to day under Marshal Furey. Firo Commissioner Ennis was missing from the line. He had gone to the cars in advance of the others. A deputy sheriff was looking for Mr. Ennis for the purpose of endeavoring either to arrest him or compel him to pay over certain moneys on account of a judgment which had been obtained against the proprietor of thu Arno hotel, where the Kings county men put up.

The hotel man's creditor has been trying to levy upon tho cash paid for their board and lodging. Commissioner Enni9, who is the treasurer for the trip, was served with papers last Saturday, but paid no particular attention to them. Mr. Furey was also served and remained equally indifferent. As the men were about to leave the hotel this morning the sheriff had an Interview with him.

Mr. Furey said he couldn't do anything. He was anxious to get awav and appeared to bo apprehensive that ho might be prevented from leaving town. Tho Kings county men were about the last of tho visiting delegation to depart. It is safe to fioy that the Arno hotel never held a livelier set el guests.

The hotel people are considerably relieved nowhat the crowd has gone. What the untorrilled from Kings has not seen of Washington is not worth seoing. They resent the assertion that they hava behaved with less decorum than the Constitution club party or any other Democrats from Brooklyn, They say that the McKano association had to pay for damage done at the hotel occupied by the Grnvesend gang, while if the truth were known Detruar's contingent would be found to contain ns many Indians as the tribe oi the Thomas Jefferson. One thing is certain, this trip has not improved the feeling between Furey and Delmiir. The departure of tho Kings county men was uneventful.

Marsbnl Furey did not meet with the anticipated interference. The deputy sheriff was at the depot looking for Commissioner ICnnia, but Ennis had gone by an earlier train. Among the Brooklynites who saw the Furey party off were Congressmen Clancy and Mag ner, E. J. Ametran ando Archie Blisa.

Martin and Bynam of Indianu, Compton of Maryland, Oates of Alabama and Warner of New York. The great bulk of tho visitors were Democrats of course, but there were a number of Repub Heans in the throng, among them Senator Mitchell, with a party of men from Oregon: Senator Mnnderson. withseveral men and women from Nebraska, and Congressmen O'Neil and Dalzell of Pennsylvania.

Another caller was Charles H. J. Taylor of Kansas City. ex minister to Liberia, who is after the scalp of ex Senator Bruce of Mississippi, tho recorder of deeds lor the District of Columbia. Congressman Rockwell.

Senator Hill's great friend, was also numbered among the elect who wero admitted to tho President's room. Mr. Cleveland was so busy receiving callers in his office that ho did not go down stairs to see the hundreds of people who wero waiting for him in the east room. The room became so crowded and the crowd outside waiting admittance was so great that the east room was cleared and a line formed so that people might pass in and out and thus have an opportunity of seeing the apartment. Fully 5.000 people went through the White House in this disappointing manner.

The induction into office of tho members of President Cleveland's cabinet to day (save Secretary Gresham, who was sworn in yesterday), was a historic event at the state department this morning. For the first time in the history of the government the heads of tho departments assembled in the diplomatic parlor, and together took the oath of office. There was quite a concourse in the corridors of the state department this morning to witness the new ceremonies. The several members of the cabinet, except Messrs. Lamont and Olney.

assembled at 10:30, at which hour it was expected they would be sworn in, but Associate Justice Field, who, in the necessary absence of Chief Justice Fuller, bad been selected to administor tha unable to reach the department until 11:16. Promptly at that time Justice Field chme into tho room of the secretary of state, leaning on the arm of Attorney General Olney and accompanied by Private Secretary Thurber. Eepresontative Charles O'Neil, tho 'father of tho house," and B. B. Smalley, Democratic national committeeman from Vermont.
