KSWC DAIIiY EAGLE. STETf YOBS, FETDAT, AUGUST 4, 1899 16 THE WILL ASK FOR A STAY; SHAMROCK'S TENDER TUG. THE WTPE RELENTED. URBEN ISLAND NUISANCES. SUBSCRIBERS TO THE FUSD NUMBER 21.976.

LATEST BRIDGE JUMPER WILL PROBABLY SURVIVE, Salvator Rizi Will Die as the Result of an Accident on the Long Island Road. Roosevelt's Threatened Order to Close the Works Alarms City Officials. NO OTHER PLACE AVAILABLE. They Say Garbage Cannot Be Disposed Of if the Order Is Carried Out. The threatened order of Governor Roosevelt for the summary closing of the garbage rendering works of the Sanitary Utilization Company at Barren Island has created considerable alarm in the Street Cleaning and Health Departments.

The city authorities hope for a suspension of judgment on the part of the Governor until a thorough investigation of the subject can be had. Captain F. M. Gibson, Deputy Commissioner of Street Cleaning, when 3een in his office in the Park row building to day, said: "Were such an order to he carried Into effect at once we could not attempt to handle the garbage. It would bring on a pestilence in no time.

We would have a nuisance In every house in New York City. Any set of men who propose to do away with the system should propose another as efficient to take its place. "As long as the city has to take care of the garbage, and as long as it is the duty of this department to take charge of it we must of necessity provide a plant in some locality to properly handle this material. "In my opinion and the opinion of the department. Barren Island is the very beit place in the vicinity of the thickly settled portions of Manhattan and Brooklyn Boroughs for the establishment of such a plant.

It Is only fifteen miles from the Brooklyn Bridge and the scows can readily transport the stuff from any part of the river front to the rendering works. This is a very important factor in' the situation. The complaints that have been made to us concerning disagreeable odors from the works have all come from Arverne, while from all of the villages and resorts of Rockaway Beach and Rockaway Park which lie between Arverne 'and Barren' Island not a single complaint has come. None has come to us this summer from Brooklyn or Coney Island. We are disposing Of from 1,000 to tons of garbage daily frorn Manhattan and Brooklyn Boroughs at this season of the year, and the average is 1,000 tons a day for the year, all of which Is satisfactorily and promptly disposed of without any anxiety on our part.

This is a matter of great consideration, In view of past troubles, when the accumulations have threatened the health of the city. We collect the garbage and bring it to the dumps, after which it is handled entirely by the company, at cost to the city of S189.990, whereas the work has formerly cost the city over half a million dollars and much less work was done and In a less satisfactory manner. Hauser Took the Great Drop Be cause of a Little Girl's Wish. HE HAS BEEN ACTING QUEERLY. Heard a "Voice" While Hiding in Car and Jumped on the Impulse of the Moment.

The most extraordinary bridge juniper so Is Herman Hauser, the treasurer of the Herald Square Theater, who heard a "voice" in the air yesterday as he was passing over the riven span from the Brooklyn side is an open trolley car and obeyed its suggestion by get ting out of the car. climbing the outer rail and dropping into the water below. The voice, as Hauser describes it. was real, but then he had been drinking heavily for some time, and. Ma sister says, had suddenly shut off his supply of stimulants.

Mr. Hauser, who is 36 years old, by his actions yesterday afternoon suggested that he was not entirely in his right mind. He got on a Third avenue car at Sands street, at about 4:30 o'clock, and sat quietly enough in one of the rear seats reading a newspaper. The conductor collected his tare, and at that time the man seemed to be perfectly rational. But Hauser was hearing things, according to his subsequent story.

There was a little girl sitting beside the man, he says, in one of the other seats, and he' heard her say to him: "My, pop! but I'd like to see a man jump off this bridge!" She said this two or three tlmeio, according to Hauser. and the feeling grew strong upon him that it would be perfectly proper and polite to accommodate her. It did not occur to him that he might be risking his life to take the Jump: indeded, it seemed at the time to be a 3mall matter, just as one in a dream takes about the most frightful chances with life in an exceedingly commonplace and matter of fact way. The voice continued as the car bowled along, and it was not until the Manhattan tower was reached that the man decided finally to make the jump. He got from the car and walked calmly in the direction of a policeman, who was standing near the rail.

The people on the car supposed that the well dressed man had left the car to talk to the policeman, but he walked past the officer and climbed to the top of the rail. There was a general shout as bis intention was realized and the policeman started for the man on a run. Hauser saw that they were Tatter him and he leaped out irom his perch and down he went into the river. He had not taken any care in his jump and he fell his back with a siap that sent the ud into the air like a spouting geyser. Within Bix feet of the point where he fell was the fery boat Southampton of the Long Island Hallway service, and the wonder is that he was not dashed to pieces against it.

Frank LIckey, the baggage man at the James slip ferry house, was on the boat at the time. He ran to the bow, slipped off his shoes and dived into the water to rescue iue company nas established a plant there I oped the fact that the conductor had not seen which has cost over $400,000, under the expec the sachel and it is believed that some dotation of carrying out their contract satisfac honest person carried it off.

The Lamport Holt steamer Chaucer arrived to day from Rio Janeiro, Victoria, Bahla and rernambuco, with two cabin passengers, Burt Harrison Collins and Havens, both students of the Leland Stanford University or California. Collins and Havens were members of a party of students who visited Brazil to study some peculiar sandstone reefs near Pernambuco, but the Brazilian authorities misunderstood the object of the expedition and interfered with the investigations, supposing the party to be United States government officials spying on the fortifications. The other members of the party will return home later. TAYLOR TO ATTERBURY. The Assistant Postmaster Adds Some More Literature to the Republican Controversy.

Assistant Postmaster Wilson made another contribution this morning to the literature of the Republican anti organization fight in Kings County. In a typewritten statement given to the reporters he first took up Mr. At terbury's charge that he had used the government printer to print enrollment blanks for political purposes. He said the Postmaster had shown that the charge was absolutely false and without, foundation, and Mr. Atter bury, himself, had.

intimated that he had assumed the correctness of his charge from the fact that he had seen, about a year ago, the printer's proof in Mr. Taylor's private office. Mr. laylor said that if Mr. Atterbury was satisfied with his own admission he (Mr.

Taylor) certainly was. As to whether Mr. Atterbury had written himself down an honorable man by his own admission, the public could judge. He continued: "Mr. Atterbury professes to be shocked because, as he alleges, someone has been trying to induce some of his friends to dessert him on the promise of a political position.

If Mr. Atterbury is so averse to the use of political positions In politics as to be shocked by such a transaction it ought to be communicated to his political workers at once. Mr. Atterbury says I am ungrateful. A few years ago Mr.

Atterbury and I were co workers in the political vineyard. It is true that he came in at the eleventh hour, but it is a well known fact that he has all the same insisted up his penny a day. At that time it was the claim of Mr. Atterbury that the organization should represent the wishes of the people, and that gratitude for prominence in politics was due to the people rrom the recipients or their favor. As long as Mr.

Atterbury held these views he was in sympathy with the great mass of the Republican voters in the Twenty to secure Mr. Wilson support wnen ne was Congressman, and through the then Congress man to secure the support of Mr. Moore and their respective friends. Mr. Atterbury secured this support upon the pledge that he would stand straight for McKinley.

As to whether or not he received the active co oper ation of both the Congressman and Mr. Moore at that time and of what value it was may be left to the Republican voters of the Third uongressionaj jjietrict. i ae suDjecis subsi sl ea uy AtterDury are so leruie inai on who, like myself, was intimate with what was rolng on in politics in thos? days, hardly knows where to take hold. Perhaps this is all that I ought to say. If Mr.

Atterbury thinks it insufficient I wish simply to remind him that thifi is midsummer, political news is rather dull, and if he so desires he might perhaps make it interesting for some time to come." K0 K0 WAS THE FEATURE. Mrs. Knowles' Remarkable Cat the Guest of the Professional Woman's League at Sea Gate. The Professional Woman's League never does anything ordinary. It devised an outing to Sea Gate yesterday, but instead of taking it alone without any excuse for it, they invited Mrs.

Edwin Knowles' tiger cat, Ko Ko, who in turn refused to go without Mrs. Knowles herself. Of courBe a fish dinner was provided, for what respectable cat would go to the sea shore without such a treat in store. It must be confessed that the guest of honor showed less Interest in the women and the scenery than in various mongrels of the feline and canine tribes passed, and expressed a constant desire to excuse Itself and take a round out of one or two more or less enthusiastic beasts on the way. The women put It all down to enthusiasm for the ride, however, and each yowl of disappointed anguish was greeted as appreciation for some particular point.

Ko Ko refused to be interviewed, but his hostess declared the trip an immense success. A glance at the names show that the cat was lacking in appreciation of femininity when It desired to leave the car. There were in the party. Mrs. FMwin Arden, Mrs.

Mr. McCord had waited a leng time for a Flatbush avenue car that would go to the ferry, but he lost patience and finally took a bridge depending on his ability to get a transfer for the ferry when he reached Myrtle avenue. But the car that he boarded suddenly and unexpectedly switched off into Smith street at Fulton street and the conductor told all Fulton Ferry passengers to change cars.

Mr. McCord hurried from the car as soon as it stopped. A number of passengers alighted ar.d then the conductor gave two sharp pulls at the bell cord and the car went bowling down Jay street. It had gone about fifty feet when Mr. McCord suddenly thought of his sachel.

I Ie had left it in the seat. He abandoned his wife and boy for the time being and dashed after the disappearing conveyance, shouting to the conductor, who did not bear hlen.

Sloanc. who was arrested yesterday afternoon at quarantine on the Ward Line steamship Havana, on a charge of being concerned in the theft of $1,000 in Havana.

The Havana police, the detective said, did not reply to the message sent them yesterday. Lawyer Carl Fischer Hansen of 55 Liberty etreet, with whom was associated Lawyer A.

Magulre of the law firm of Weeks appeared for Sloane.

I have been through the works, and could detect no disagreeable odors, even in the works. The smell is similar to that of burned caramels. There are other plants on the island. The White Rendering Works handle all the dead horses, dogs, cats and other dead animals, at a contract price of $28,000, and their works have been fittetl up from time to time with the latest improvements for taking care of noxious gases, so that they are now among the best managed in the country in this regard." "What other ways are open to us?" asked the deputy commissioner, in conclusion. "We are forbidden by the Federal authorities from dumping the stuff at sea.

To attempt to fill in at Rlker's Island, as heretofore, would render Flushing, College Point, Bowery Bay and Harlem and other sections of the city almost uninhabitable, and this would tsoon be stopped by the Board of Health. To dispose of it by carting it down on Long Island by railroad, as was done for Brooklyn a few years ago, rendering a large section of Suffolk County a plague spot, is not to be thought of. It can be incinerated in furnaces, but this would be very expensive, and would require a very large number of furnaces Inside the city limits, all of which would throw off noxious emanations." Civil Engineer McDonough Craven said: "This system, known as the Arnold system, was adopted by Colonel Waring under the last administration only after a most thorough in vestigation, wmca had extended over six years. There was a similar plant in operation in Philadelphia two years before we put it in operation here, and the report we got from all the health officers and other officials of that city, as well as the result of our own study of the matter, induced tne previous administration to establish the system here. "It is not generally known how much study has been given in this matter by New York authorities.

A corps of technical men were working on all plans proposed for two vears I I NO FLAGMAN AT CROSSING. The Gates Were Mot Operated When Rizi and His Son, Attempted to Cross the Tracks. An accident that will probably be fatal its results occurred at 5:15 o'clock this morning at the Highland Boulevard grade crossing on the Manhattan Beach DIvlEion of the Long Island Railroad. Salvator Rizi. an Italian, was so seriously injured that he is dying nt St.

Mary's Hospital and his 10 year old son. John, has had his left leg amputated. The father and son were driving a wagon across the tracks when they were struck by a freight train on its tvay to Long Island City. Salvator Rizi is a fruit vender, 45 year old, and has a small store and his living apartment at 3,000 Fulton street. It had been hi3 custom to go to the Wallabout Market early every morning to lay in a stock of fruit.

He usually left his home at about 5 o'clock every morning. For the past few mornings his 10 year old son, John, has accompanied him on his trips. There are gates at the Boulevard crossing, but they are not operated after the last train passes from Manhattan Beach at 12:40 A. until 6 o'clock in the morning. Neither iB any flagman stationed at this crossing at this time.

Along the south side of the Boulevard, extending east some distance from the crossing, is a long line of two and a half story flat houses, which completely shut off the view to the south of one approaching the railroad crossing from the east. This morning, Rizi and his son, had just driven their horse and wagon upon the rail read tracks when Engine No. Ill of the Long Island Railroad, Thomas Moore, 116 Eagle street, Greenpoint, engineer.and Fred Galghe, 182 Fourth street, Long Island City, fireman, drawing a train of six freight cars, struck their wagon and carried them fully seventy feet up the track, or about half way to the Bushwick avenue grade crossing. Here the horse managed to free himself, but the wagon was carried a few feet farther, resting on the pilot of the engine. It then fell over on the right, side of the track.

Rizi was violently thrown from his' seat when the engine first struck the wagon. He landed on his bead on the south bound track and lay unconscious. His son, John, managed to stay in the wagon until it fell loose from the engine. The wagon waB a total wreck and the remnants of the crates and barrels ere scattered along the 'track in all dlrec The train ran fully fifty feet beyond i he place where the wagon was cast loose beore it came to a stop. A hurry call was sent to St.

Mary's Hospital for an ambulance. Twelve year old Bella Thompson started for Father Stelgle at the Catholic Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, and he administered the last ritee of the church to the injured man. When the ambulance arrived. Surgeon Reitz said that the man had a fracture at the base of the skull, and could not live. No one had paid any attention to the boy during this time.

He had sustained a fracture of the left tibia. With his broken leg, he crawled to the side of his father, a 'distance 'of fully 75 feet, but fainted as soon as he reached him. Both father and son were taken to St. Mary's Hospital in the ambulance. The horse was not injured, except for a few cuts and bruises.

K. Morris, superintendent of the Manhattan Beach and Atlantic divisions of the Long Island road was at the Gates Avenue Court this morning prepared to give ball for the engineer and fireman.
