THREE CENTS. HARMAN VS. ENDERLIN. I A Scene This Horning in the Register's TRACTION RE0RGAHIZAT10H READY TO OUST ELLIOTT, THE BRITISH CABINET CRISIS, HOLT RELEASED OH HEAVY BAIL SHOT BY A BARTENDER. A Customer Was Accidentally Injured With a Rusty Pistol.

Ch.irlcs a 1. years, of 7 11 First Xew was shot in the nose shoi'My o'clock tins that there are tolegrams and letters to provo his assertion. The E.igle reporter asked Mr. Ketcham what ho bad to say on this point. "Of ho replied, "I know nothing at all.

but tho man's blainelen life is altogether against a suggestion of such a thing, even." Mr. Holt is about 52 years old. Ho la married and hns two grown up daughters who teach Sunday school in Plymouth church, to which, ho belongs. He was president of tho Lincoln club for several years, and is also associated with other permanent social organizations. He is well known lc society circlos both in this city and iu Shelter Island whero Office.

There was a rumpus in the resistor's office to day that made the day's business far mere than ordinarily interesting. TIil parlies to it were Supervisor Endcriin. chairman of the committee on county records, and Register Granville W. Harmon. The crowd of spectators was furnished by the lawyers and clerks who use tho record room.

Knderlin hnd the rhowy part of the fight altogether because Yr. Harmaii did not care to descend to the level of a scold. The row came about through a sign which was hung up on the door hading to the room In which instruments are recorded. It stated that by an amendment made to the law govei'ninir the register's office, no records would be recorded in July and August after 2 o'clock, but that the record room would be open until 1. It was signed by the register.

Everything was peaceful when at about 1 o'clock Supervisor Knderlin strode up the hall and fixed his eyes on the sign. He sent for the register and told him the record room would have to close at 2 o'clock in July and August, whetherhe wanted It or not. Mr. Har nian replied that the business of the office would not penult the closing of the record room. He willing the official business should cease at that hour, and believed the law contemplated nothing else.

An Eagle reporter saw Mr. Harman after the suiM rvIsor's departure. He said: "I was surprised by Mr. Enderlin's conduct. 1 do not believe the law calls for tho closing of the record room, and attach so much conli dence to my opinion that I will carry 'he mat tnr to the court of appeals for a decision.

The closing of the record room at 2 o'clock would take the livelihood away from searchers, recorders and others who work by the piece and have two or three hours' work in comparing and checking off after the official work of the day Is over, lint more than this, it would obstruct the work of the office, it can't be done between 9 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon." The supervisors will get a communication from Mr. Harman at their next meeting, calling attention to tho absolute necessity of keeping tho record room open after 2 o'clock. SAY HE ANNOYS CHILDREN.

ROSSITER HAS ACCEPTED. The Plan Will Be Submitted to the Di rectors on Tuesday, and Afterward Will Be Voted Upon by the Stock holders A New Company, With $20,000,000 Common $6,000,000 Bonds. Stock and The main features of tho plan under which the Long Island Traction system Is to be reorganized have been determined upon. These are as follows: 1. The formation of a now company, which Is to assume the lease and all assets and liabilities of the Long Island Traction company.

2. The capitalization of this company with $20,000,000 common stock, which will be exchanged for Long Island Traction stock under certain conditions. i 3. The Issue of $0,000,000 of bonds, to run ten years and to carry 0 per cent, interest. 4.

The levying of an assessment of 10 per cent, upon the stock of tbo Long Island Traction company. Those who have already con CLINTON L. BOSSITEII. tributed the $2 per share called for by the reorganization committee in March will have to pay an assessment ot only per cent. 5.

The collateral trust notes, now issued to the amount of $1,800,000 and which have been recently purchased in large amounts on behalf of the Flower syndicate, will be taken up on August 6, when tbe one year option will expire. 6. An underwriting syndicato has already been formed for the purpose of insuring tbe success of this plan. It will guarantee to the new company the full payment of tho assessment and full subscription to the stock. In return therefor it will receive certain privileges.

This much has been agreed to by all parties interested, so far as they have been consulted. There are other details to be settled. At present writing it is more than probable that these will have taken final shape by Tuesday next, when it is proposed to submit the plan to the board of directors of the Long Island Traction company. It will then be adopted, printed and submitted to the stockholders, by whom it must bo formally provided. One of the matters which is not yet decided is the possible issue of $3,000,000 in preferred stock.

This may be done it it is thought that tho people paying assessments will consent to receive such a security in lieu of the bonds which were promised in the March circular of the reorganization committee. Another matter awaits final decision. This Is whether the holders of the collateral trust notes shall receive for them money or bonds. The latter appears to be much tho more probable, although certain members of the syndicate, which recently purchased tbem at 85, are said to favor the former plan. There Is no possible doubt that the men in control of the Traction company at present will use every possible means to force the payment of the assessment.

Those who can not or will not pay It will be forced either to sell their holdings to men who will be willing to pay this assessment, or must stand by and see their stock practically wiped out. It is the desire of the interests at present in control to settle the matter of reorganization as quickly as possible. The assessments will be called for in three installments and It is proposed to have all the money in and all the exchanges made by October 1. It has been decided that a large proportion of the present board of directors will serve in similar capacities in the new company. Some resignations will be received and these vacancies will be filled by the election of associates of Mr.

Flower in his syndicate. It is probable that Chauncey M. Depew and other friends of the Vanderbilts. who aro connected with the New York Guarantee and Indemnity company, will represent those Interests in the new board. Wliat President Lewis Han to Say.

President Lewis said this morning: "My resignation is final. That is settled. It has not yet been accepted, and was put over until the next meeting. I would prefer not to say anything about it until it has been disposed of. I have not yet made any plans for the future.

I have not had a rest from business in eleven years, and I think I would like one. I have nothing to say about the new plana for the reorganization of the company, nor can I tell whether there will be other changes fn the board of directors. I have not met Mr. Rossiter. who is to bo the next president.

I understand that he has formally accepted the offer. I know his three brothers quite well. I have extended to him a cordial invitation to come here as soon as he wishes, so that we can go over tho system together. I think in all probability he will do so." rtlr. Koiwlcr Hun Accepted.

Snndftjr. A Brcoklyn Man Arrested by the New York Authorities. CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY. Efforts to Down the Gang of Firebugs Which Has Been Endangering Life and Preying on Insurance Companies in New York Prominent Men in Jail or Fugitives An Assistant Deputy District Attorney Implicated George W. Holt, Insurance adjuster, residing In Garfield placo, Brooklyn, spent last night in tbe Tombs.

Just before nooa to day he was taken before Judge Allison in general sessions and roleosed under $10,000 bonds, Mr. Holt is charged with moondiarism or with complicity, and to add to the gravity of the charge Assistant Distriet Attorney Vernon M. Davis deslares that he has evidonco to show that tbe defendant is one of the gang who a year or more have done a thriving business by Bottling buildlDgs on lire and reaping big profits from tha insurance. Tbe story is remarkable one. For a number of years an organized gaug of firebugs terrorized tbe east sido of New York.

Assistant district attorney wont hot after them and contrived the arrests ol Samuel Miih, flro insurance agent, formerly with the State Union As uradce Fire, Lloyd's; Louis Gordon, shirt mau ulacturer, 21 Walker stroot, Now York; Henry Cohen, shirt manufacturer, 640 Broadway, New York; Jacob Frank, formerly assistant flro mar shall; Mas Gluckmann, mechanic: Simon or Shire liosenbnum, mechanic: Louis Grauer, flro insurance adjustor, I'ino street, New York; Auolph Hirschkopf, lire insurance adjuster; Heary Stold, New York; Morris Schoonholz; flro insurnnco adjuster, 142 Lewis street. Of those Frank has become an imbecile, Glueckmaun has llod to Bussia, Kosecbaani hii turned state's evidence, Grauer is a fugitive from justice, Hirschkopf has disappeared uud bchoenholz is locked up in the Tombs. illlch, who is under indictment for arson and out on 410,000 bail, has turaed state's evidence, nnd it was on his sworn statement that George W. Hoit and Cnnrlas F. Lenz, policeman, were arrestod yesterday afternoon and ioeitou Tip.

According to Mileh's statement Policeman Lenz, who used to be connectod with the tiro marshal's office as an assistant lire marshal, had for years been In league with the lireuugs and soared in their plunder. When Gordon'a shirt factory, at 21 Walker street, New York, was burned down, July 23, 1SD4, there existed no doubt in anybody's mind that tbe flro was of incendiary origin. It was on the eharg.i ol arson in connection with this flro that Milch and Gordon were arrested and placed each under 410,000 bonds. It is claimed that Lena demanded and received $100 tor making a Javorable report of this lire. It is further claimed against Leuz that ho had frequent consultations wltb the ilrebugs and that he revealed to them the secrets ol the fire marshall's office.

Milch declares thnt the two moohaaics mentioned in the list of accused persons wore hired by the gang to set lire to buildings whlen were well insured and upon which tbe insurance could be easily recovered. informer Milch Implicates Holt as a company adjuster. Sir. Holt is employed by tho imperial Niagara Insurnnco company and tho Phuinlx Insurance company of Hartioro, His ofHco is at oi Pine strsor. New York, in tuo same building with Mas II.

Grauer, who i now serving a thirty years' sentence lor arsen. In bis official capacity Mr. Holt was employed to adjust the losses on a policy. The "informer claims that Holt was implicated iu many incendiary flres, but tho specific charge upon wliich ha has been arreatrd Is conspiracy to st Are to the tenement at 323 "West Thirty third street. New Yort, on July 4, 1804.

The apartments in tue house where the fire oceurred were occupied byAdoIph Wlllmor, who is also wanted by tho authorities. Wtllmer had his place insured for $1,000 and licit adjusted tho loss at $837. LO. which was paid. So far this is the statement of informer Milch as communicated to Assistant District Attorney Davis.

The facts were laid before Ite cordor GofI yesterduy and no at once issued a warrant for the arrest of Lenz and Holt. Tho policeman was arreted at the East One Hundred and Fourth street station, where ho is now detailed, and Mr. Holt was taken at his residence on GarQold place. Both wore takon to police headquarters and later to the Tombs, where they SDent the night. Bright and early' this morning Holt's friends began to work in his interest.

They scouted the idea that he he was in the remotest degree guilty of the charge against him, and Luwyar Herbert T. Ketohom of 16 Court stroet was retained to look after his interests. Ho stepped over to the court of general sessions before 10 o'clock tnis morning, prepared with bail for any amount for the release of his client, but neither Judge Allison nor Assistant District Attorney Davis could be seen at that boor. Mr. Ketebam thon proceeded to tho office of the bond clerk, told that functionary that he had his boil ready and had Mr.

Holt brought over from the prison to the office. It was after 11 whon Mr. Davis reached his office. He was at once closeted with Mr. Ketcham and three men whom tho Eagle reporter learned were prominont officials ef tho Sua insurance.

Mr. Holt had done business for them, and they were so conildent of his In tooence that an hour before thoy had gone to tbe bank and drawn 810,000 as bail for the prisoner. Mr. Davis pulling out his watch, when Mr. Ketcham explained his mission, "I'll have to Ox Holt's bail at "That's ali right," quietly returned the lawyer, "we have got it here and wo have it in cash." "It will have to bo deposited before 12 o'elock then, said Mr.

Davis, "if you want to get Holt out to day." Thereupon the bondsmen hurried to tho chamberlain's office, Mr. Holt was quietly taken before Judge Allison, waivod examination, and had his bail fixed at $10,000. He was released about noon and tbe date of kis examination sot down for July 8. Mr. Holt was considerably eut up over his arrest, but beyond firmly declaring bis absolute innocence he, on the advice of bis counsel, declined to discuss tho matter.

Mr. Holt used to bo worth considerable money. He hns been in tho insurance business for about ten years. Previous to that he was engaged in the dry goods and in the brass business in New York. In his eapacity as insurance adjuster ho has always acted for tbo companies and never for tbo insured.

His ea unsol, Mr. Ketcham, Indicated to the Eagle reporter this forenoon that Milh, in making his statement, had probably been actuated by motives of spite and feelings of revenge. Ho added "During tho recent prosecution of tbeso flro bugs he "assisted tbo authorities to suh a degree as to bring down upon himself the wildest hostility ot those fellows. They have threatened him frequently. Ho has given testimony and facts to the authorities, and has spent days in the collection of such testimony.

He has always been very rigid and severe is. his settlement ef losses. Ho has been careful nnd minute iu his examinations, and was notorious for his severity in settling losses. You have only to look at his record to And this oat. He has tho complete confidence of tho Sun Insurance company are of the largest and oldest in the world.

They not only express their conildonce in eo many words, they do Dotter than that, for their representatives will De here this mornlns to put down 310,030 in cosh for Ills bail. At tne proper time, too. they will bo ready to come forward and express their absolute confidence in htm and their disbelief of the oharges pramu! gnted against him. 'The authoritios have got this informer down i fine," proceeded Mr. Ketcham.

"To savo his own neck ho turns state's evidence and gives up tho people with whom he has been asaoci ated. At the sumo time bo retains just enough spite to 5ay to himself, 'Well, along with a possible trutD, I might just as well tell a littlo and so he implicates Mr. Holt." Milcb, in his confession to the assistant district attorney, avers that Mr. Holt pnsied among the firebugs as John Bose, and declares Republican Supervisors Call a Caucus for To morrow Afternoon. MAY NAME BRECKENRIDGE.

The County Fathers Dislilie the Part Played by Their Lawyer in the Law Enforcement Society, and Think It a Good Political Move to Displace Him Their Purpose Kept a Secret Up to the Present Time. A caucus of the Republican supervisors will bp held In the hall of records to morrow afternoon for the purpose of discussing the removal of George F. Elliott, who. as counsel to the board enjoys a salary' of a year. Tho removal will not be his official ejection by a resolution drawn in those words, but his successor will bo appointed, for Elliott has been holding over since February, when his term of appointment expired.

His successor has not yet been agreed cn. but will, in all probability, be Mr. itrecltenridge, an assistant of Mr. Elliott's office, and the man who has been attending to much of the detail of the counsel's work. Mr.

Elliott's actions In connection with the Law Enforcement society is a matter that lias been seriously discussed by the supervisors for over a week. They disliked his connection with it. and thought that Its conduct would hurt the party, because tbe president held an important appointment directly at the hands of tho Republican party. Sentiment seems to have crystallized against Elliott. That is the feeling behind the caucus.

Mr. Elliott has not been Informed, and neither has anybody outside the Republican supervisors. The whole tiling has been very quietly engineered, mid will, if possible, be as quietly executed. An Eagle reporter extracted tho Information from some of the supervisors to day that they had been invited to a caucus to morrow, but professed not to know anything of the subject to be discussed. All of them, however, gave as their opinion that Mr.

Elliott was tho man to be talked about. Breckenridge. who may be named as successor, is a young man of obliging disposition, lie is well liked by the members, and is familiar with the law governing the board. ENGLAND'S COAL OUTPUT. It Is Larger Than That of Germany or France.

Washington, D. June 22 Consul Grin nell, at Manchester, England, has sent to tbe state department a report touching the coal product of England and other countries. He says: "By far the most important mining industry in the United Kingdom Is coal. Turning to the European countries it will be scon that the country which has the largest output of coal, after the United Kingdom, Is Germany. It will be observed, however, that tho quantity of coal produced in that country does not amount to one half of that produced in the United Kingdom.

After Germany comes France, which country only produces a third of what Is produced in Germany; while next again comes Belgium, where the amount is not far behind that produced in France. The value of coal worked at the plnco of production, certainly in France, and probably In Belgium, too, is far higher than It Is in either tho United Kingdom or Germany. "There Is one country, however, with which it Is necessary to compare the output with that in European countries, namely, the United States. In the latter country the quantity of coal produced has in recent years increased very considerably, until nuw it almost equals that of this country."

It shows the exi9tone" of a largo body of conspirators banded together to Kindle flres On their premises nnd stick together for self protootion and the division of the insurance profits.

For It is alleged, thoy would start up a blaze warranted to wipe out a flat or a Btore or a whole building.

In 6ome of these buildings there were housed a hundred or more man, women ana children. But tho firebugs paid never a theught for ttio preelous lives. All that thoy cared for was their share of tns insurance money. In his confession Milch suggested thnt as tho direct result of the operations of the band seventy live flres hnd been kindled within the last two years and these wre all that ho could remember off hand.

Ho claims that ho can provo tbnt they met in tho Columbia wine room on Third avenue to arrange the details of the Gordon blaze, and were thus conspirators In advance. Mr.

Davis allezes that he has his eye on other prominent peoplo whoso names have not yet boon oven whisperod. It was stated to day that in the confession made by Samuel Milch this morning a deputy assistant district attorney is named as the legal adviser of the firebugs, and that from his position in the district atorney's office he has time and time again given information which has put them on their guard and prevented disastrous results to them from the detective work done by Davis and Mitchell. A strict investigation into this charge against the official in question will be made, and it was hinted this mornig that Colonel Fellows' trip to Europe would be delayed on this account.
