The steam launch Nndjy was run down by the ferryboat New York of the Twenty third street ferry In the East river ofT the ferry slips at the foot of Broadway at 10 o'clock last night and Joseph McMahon, 23 years old, of 213 Rodney street was drowned. The pilot of the ferryboat says the Nadjy carriod no light and that, as the ferryboat was malting for the slip at full speed, the pilot heard the puffing of the Nadjy 's engine, but could not locate the launch until she shot out from the shadow of the end of the slip into the light from the ferry lamps. The launch was then just under the bow of the ferryboat, and before the engines oould bo reversed was struck and capsized.

The ferryboat backed ofT and the launch righted. No boat was lowered from the New York. The launch righted after she capsized and Charles Connors of 351 Berry street and John Williamson of 23S Hooper street clung to her sides until John Owens, who has the reputation of being a life saver, put out In a small boat from the South Fifth street pier and rescued them. The pilot of the ferryboat did not know any one was drowned. Young McMahon, who was drowned, was an expert, yachtman and swimmer.

He leaves a wife and two children. His brother. James B. McMahon. Is well known in the eastern district and was president of the Loyola union for several terms.

Narrow Escape From Drowning by a Party of Six. The storm last night overturned a catboat, containing five men and a woman, as it was heading for the Erie basin about 9 o'clock. The entire party had a narrow escape from drowning, as the squall which upset tho boat was very severe and so sudden as to give them no warning of what was coming. One of the men, William Lungsfeldt. of S7 Coffey street, who Is an expert swimmer, reached the dock all out of breath.

He was found In a dazed condition by Policeman Hyland of tho Fourth avenue station, who took him to the station. Lungsfeldt told Captain Johnson that Ave persons on the catboat had been drowned. He did not know their names as he had simply been engaged to sail the boat down to Bensonhurst and was not acquainted with the party. Captain Johnson hurried to the scene of the supposed drowning with the reserves. There was no need for the services of the police.

All the party in the boat except Lungsfeldt managed to get hold of the keel of the upturned vessel and held on until the fishing smack George Temple, Captain Daniel Mahoney. came along and picked them up. It was necessary, however, to tow the catboat to the foot of Forty second street, as the shipwrecked people were afraid to let go of the keel to get aboard the smack. When tbey reached the shore they hurried away without giving their names. Several of their names were learned.

They are Frederick Sombler. his brother Fritz and the latter's wife. They live at 170 Hamilton avenue. The had started for a pleasure trip from Bensonhurst. MR.

DEFENDER FAR AHEAD In the Second Trial Race With the "Vigilant, FAVORED BY A SHORE BREEZE. Captain Haff Stood Farther in Toward Jersey Beaches After the First Leg of the Course Had Been Traversed, and Caught a Spanking Breeze Some Time Before the Vigilant Defender Leading by Two Miles on the Second Leg. As the two white yachts appeared outside Sandy Hook point this morning the flotilla of steam and sail yachts and their parties and throngs of spectators laid course tor tho Scotland lightship for positions of advantage from "which to view the start.

Defender, having cast off her tow line, her Jib was run up, and. with a gentle courtesy of her lofty mast, she stood in to meet the Vigilant, which was standing out toward the lightship in a breeze, which seemed to have grown lighter. It was 10:10. o'clock when Defender, standing In, passed Vigilant, which was slowly making her way out. At that moment the flagship Sylvia was approaching the lightship, and this indication of the nearing of the starting time prompted Defender to go about, which she did five minutes after having passed Vigilant.

Both yachts were then standing out on a starboard tack. While the racers were thus careening about one of the mark boats was alongside the lightship and the flagship Sylvia was lying to just south of that position. Vigilant, like an athlete, limbering up before a struggle, swept across the line in her exercise, shot up in the wind, then stood off to the north. Defender at the same moment, 10:15 A. was to leeward, slowly nearing the mark.

Observers at this time were of the opinion that Vigilant seemed to be mo faster in the light air. The excursion crafts were making off to a line of safe observation out of the way of the yachts, leaving them clearer water about the vicinity of the starting line. At 10:45 Defender went up into the wind and came back across the line, close hauled on the starboard tack, still sailing as though in an exercise run. Thus the time crept on. past 11 o'clock, both yachts now sharply alert to the possibilities of the slightest advantage in the start, which could not be far distant.

The hour was 11:14 1 4, when the first or preparatory gun barked its signal from the flagship Sylvia, which had then taken her position off Scotland light, thus making an imaginary line over which should be the start. The course had been signalled formally as the triangular one and the first leg was signaled to' be ten miles southeast one half east. The position of the first stake beat would, therefore, be almost straight out to sea from the lightship and nearly equidistant from the Hockaway beaches and the Long Branch coast. The official signal indicated that the second leg would be ten miles wost southwest. which would bring the turning stake of the second leg nearly abreast of Long Branch.

The last log and home run' was announced to be ten miles north, east. After the warning slgna'. from the Slyvia both boats maneuvered sharply and keenly for a position of advantage when the gun for the. start should bo fired. This signal came at 11:24.

Defender at that moment was in the betCer position, and at 11 :24 she swept over the starting line. Vigilant chasing her eagerly, made her' formal start at 11:25:10, or about forty seconds behind the leader. Just before the boats went across the line they broke out their balloon jib topsails. Defender seeming first to gain by this movement, as open water appeared between her stern and the bowsprit of Vigilant lengthening in space before the boat3 were fairly tinder way. The great racers being thus started, the excursion fleet and pleasure craft hurried off with them, keeping well to leeward.

Defender was seen to be carrying mainsail, club topsail, jib and staysail. Vigilant at the same time was carrying similar The sky was clouded and the wind was west southwest at about twelve miles an hour. At 11:33 the Defender's crew set up her balloon jib, and at that time she was increaslng the distance between herself and Vigilant. The sails on each boat were drawing well and those of Defender fitted her more exactly than they did in the race on Saturday, and the pucker of her mainsail, which was observable In Saturday's race, had been smoothed out today. At as seen from the Rockaway beaches.

Defender was gaining slightly and at that time appeared to be leading Vigilant by a minute and about 12 seconds. Forty seconds of this apparent lead are accounted for by Defender's lead at the starting line. Five minutes later observers from the Long Island coast lost the two boats from view as they called off straight out into the ocean southeastward. At 11:45 the watchers at Long Branch estimated that, both yachts would complete the leg of the race without tacking unless the wind should change. Nearly half of the first leg of the course appeared to have been sailed at 11:45.

At this trour Defender, while not at that moment perceptibly Increasing 'her lead, had nearly, if not quite, a mile of clear water between herself and Vigilant. Seen from the Jersey coast, the yachts were winging their way with all sails set at about ten miles an hour. At noon there sv.s little appreciable change In. the positions of the yachts and they were reaching down far the stake boat, which, so clear was the at, iospher. could be seen from the highlands of Navesink.

The fleet of pleasure craft which had been Bailing after the yachts pell mell was augmented somewhat along the course, but there was no danger even had they been so disposed of excursion or observation steamers getting windward of Defender. She was reaching alongi beyond Vigilant and the niotly fleet of craft behind her In a manner that was Interesting to see. At 32:10 Vigilant appeared to have increased her speed, or Defender had abated her pace, as the increase of space between them at that time was not being widened. At 12:22 It was clear by the rate at which the boats were sailing and by the direction of the wind that the contest or the day would be an excellent test of the reaching qualities of the contending yachts. Vigilant was a trifle more tender than Defender.

Out where the boats were bounding along the breeze evidently was fitful between noon and 12:30. for an occasional flutter of the big sail was observable. Haze over the water early 1n the day was dispelled by the Increasing sunlight until at 12:45 the Long Island shore could be seen quite clearly from the Jersey coast. The fleet accompanying the racers was hidden from view from the Long Branch coast, but the huge mainsails and club topsails on Defender and Vigilant loomed up on the horizon like tall white pyramids. The observation craft which sailed early in the morning had in considerable numbers made their wav to the ilrst turning stake, where, as the yachts drew near the first point of the angle of their contest, they appeared in huge banks black with spectators watching for the first turn.

Onward bowled the white mystery of New England and the old champion of 'D3. sailing with every stitch of canvas available. At 12:50 Defender, with a comfortable lead, wnsc losing down upon the first turning point and at 1:02, unofficial time, she rounded the turning point at the end of the first ten miles. The old veteran of '93 was la the race, however, and prominetly so. Two minutes and eighteen seconds after Defender, Vigilant came around the stake boat, shook out her sails afresh and was away af Some Member of the Knickerbocker Gang Struck the WHICH CRUSHED HIS SKULL.

He Had Just Returned From a Picnic When He Was Set Upon by the Roughs Conflicting Stories No Excuse for the Attack, So Far as the Police Can Learn Members of the Gang Arrested. Albert Geisel, a tailor, 32 years old, of 1.42" DeKalb avenue, was murdered last night. There is every resaon to believe that ho was killed by some member of the Knickerbocker avenue gang, and six of these fellows are under arrest As yet. however, the police have been unable to determine which was the actual murdered, although they are Inclined to believe that It was George Haag of 4S Bogert street. Beside Haag the other suspects are George Imhoff of 239 Melrose street, Adam Fabri of 174 Jefferson street, Christopher Huchmuth of 199 Knickerbocker avenue, Charles Hoff gensan of 197 Knickerbocker avenue and Frederick Halzand of 1,351 DeKalb avenue.

All six of them were arraigned in the Gates avenue police court this morning, and Justice Harriman remanded them without bail for examination. Geisel was an inoffensive fellow, and It is not believed that his murder was premeditated. Yesterday afternoon he left his home and went to a picnic of some German dramatic association, held at Jamaica woods He returned home about 9 o'clock, and stepped into Braun's saloon, Knickerbocker and Jefferson avenues, to get a glass of beer. According to Braun the members of the gang had been holding high carnival outside for over an hour, and the noise they made annoyed Geisel, who declared that he would go home. As he stepped out of the saloon he was attacked by the gang.

who. a few minutes later, ran away, leaving their victim lying on the sidewalk. A number of people went to his assistance, and then it was discovered that he was dead, his skull having been fractured. 6 Special Officer Denis Winters, who lives across the way on Jefferson street, saw the fight from his window, but was afraid to venture out. He knows most of the members of the gang, and declares that ho saw Haag strike Geisel, but could not say whether or not he had any weapon in his hand.

As the probabilities that all of the gang beat Geisel. His evidence would be unimportant but for one thing. Some time ago Haag lost half of his right hand in an accident and now wears an iron sheath over the stump. He is a powerful man and might have been able to strike the blow that broke Gelsel's skull. Another story of the man's death is told by Jacob Saur of 341 Melrose street.

Saur claims that he and Geisel were at the picnic and while there ha dwords with some unknown men. The couple came home on the cars together, and as they got off Geisel was struck a blow from behind that killed him while Sauer got a black eye. Sauer says that Geisel was not In Braun's saloon, while Braur declares that ho was, and saloon, while Braun declares that he was, and clares that she does not know Sauer and never heard her husband speak of him, although he always had a great deal to say about his friends. Under the circumstances the police regard the man's story with suspicion, and are making an investigation to discover he told such a yarn. He has not been placed under arrest as yet.

The Knickerbocker avenue gang is composed of a crowd of tough young men who have given the police of the Twentieth precinct a great deal of trouble. All of last evening they were creating excitement. A druggist on Central avenue, nearly opposite the old Cedar street station, says that about 8 o'clock last night a drunken man staggered In with a revolver bullet In his right arm. which he said had been received in a fight with the gang. The druggist dressed the wound, which was not serious, and the man went away without giving his name.

The men in court this morning were arrested by Detectives Dunn and Miller, who captured them at their homes. All of them were said to have been In the crowd that attacked Geisel. although the evidence is not very strong. The detectives believe that the man was murdered simply because he refused to furnish beer money for the crowd, and they expect before the coroner's Inquest Is held that some of the gang will confess who struck the blow, for the purpose of saving themselves. SHE SHOT HER BROTHER.

BOTH SAY THAT THE AFFAIR WAS AN ACCIDENT. Justice Nostrand in the Grand street police court to day had Annie Mollenhauer of G54 Butler street arraigned before him on a charge of shooting her brother, Edward Mollenhauer. In the neck, with a pistol yesterday afternoon, at their home. Mr. Mollenhauer Is In the St.

John's hospital, where the bullet was extracted last night. Both Mr. Mollenhauer and his sister claim that the shooting was accidental. Miss Mollenhauer told the court that she was cleaning house and found the pistol, which she did not know was loaded. While she was handling it It was discharged and her brother fell on the floor with a bullet in his neck.

The trial was adjourned for one week. MONTGOMERY TO DOCK HERE. (Special to the Eagle.) Washington, D.

They are about a half mile ahead of Defender and Vigilant. 1:18 The marked feature of the contest at this period of the race was the abrupt manner in which Defender stands up to the wind, while Vigilant heels her port gunwale Into the water.

The wind Is still on their quarter and appears to be dying out. The yachts hold the same relative positions. Highlands. 1:33 Vigilant gone about on starboard tack. 1:33 Defender about on starboard tack.

Long Branch, 1:30 The fact that they each went away beyond the stake seaside excites comment, but they probably had to do It in order to get the better wind, which is considerably stronger seaward than on the coast. This explains their delay In making the reach for the stake boat. Defender still lead3 by about a mile. Both boats moving very slowly, the wind having died away. Long Branch, 1:43 The Vigilant has ceased to gain on Defender.

The wvnd has changed northwest to west. Judging by the way they are pointing they are beating northwest toward the Highlands. Defender leads by three of a mile. Highlands, 1:44 After the two boats rounded the first maTk they stood 1n on the starboard tack toward the Jersey coast and made one long leg of about twenty minutes. The course 1s evident to be in to the mark boat close under t)he Jersey ehore in the neighborhood of Asbury 'Park, as the wind has shifted a little more tx the sou.thwestward.

At 2:23 Defender went about again on the starboard tack and headed in shore, the Vigilant still holding on to the long leg to windward. Long Branch, 2:40 It now appears that Capt. Haff.

was jockeying with Defender while tacking about opposite the iron pier, at one oclock, but Vigilant followed Defender tactics In every detail.

Others Than the Object of the Boy's Anger Were Wounded The Murdered Man's Widow and Children Are Now on the Ocean, en Route to Brooklyn The Slayer's Story Grave Himself Up This Morning.

Cheated out of all his savings by the man who caused his father to leave his mother, Pompes Demorcia, 14 years old. of 57 Withers street, shot and killed the man last night because, he says, tho man not only refused to pay money due but taunted the boy with the story of his mother's downfall. The murdered man was Gaston Cheranto, 30 years old, of 237 North Second street. Two men who attempted to take the revolver from tho boy were also shot and slightly wounded. Then Pompes ran away and the police searched all night for him.

He surrendered himselt this lnorning. Inspector MaeKellar went to the Fifth precinct station house to take charge of the case. All that he could learn was that Pompes. who worked in Weld rnan's cooperage, at the foot of North Eleventh street and earned $4 a week, wanted to invest $30 he had saved and asked Cheranto, who is a peddler, to buy a horse and wagon for peddling, hire boys to peddle and give Pompes half the profits earned by the use of the horse and wagon. Cheranto told the boy he had bought a horse and wagon for $sn anil had paid the $30 on account, but the venture had not proved successful and the horse had been surrendered to the man from whom It had been purchased.

When Pompes was told this in the basement of the house in which Cheranto lived, at 10 o'clock last night, the boy shot the man in the neck, killing him Instantly. The boy was in such a violent passion that he wanted to shoot the fallen, man again. Vincenzo de Lucia ran forward to prevent another shot being fired. He was shot In the right and another Italian, whose name the police do not know Is said to have received a third shot In his back. The police of the Fifth precinct were searching the Italian colony under the direction of Inspector MacKellar this morning, when at 10 o'clock the boy for whom they were looking walked through Grand street, across Bedford avenue, but one short block from the station house.

He entered the office of Lawyer Harry Howard Dale, on Grand street, three doors from Bedford avenue, and told the lawyer that he wanted to surrender himself as he believed he could show that he was not responsible for what he did when ho shot Cheranto. The boy for whom the police were looking sat down at a window at the rear of the lawyer's ofllce and within sight of the station house, the occupants of which were using every effort at hand to find him. The lawyer why he had committed murder. The lawyer told him he must surrender himself to the police at once and took him around the corner to the station house.

Cheranto learned that the boy had this money and told him that If he would give it to hiiii he would Invest In a horse and wagon to he used for peddling. The boy would receive $3 a week as his share of the profits and would get his J3f back ininstallments Tho boy drew his money from the bank and gave it to Cheranto. He called on Cheranto last night to get the profits. Ho says the man told him the money had been lost, and when Pompes became Indignant. Cheranto told the boy be was an outcast from society and that his mother hud brought dlBgrace on him and all his family.

Then, the boy says, Cheranto picked up a stick and moved toward him. saying. "Your mother 1s lower than a dog. Get out of my house." Pompes' eyes filled with tears as he told this, and added: "I scarcely knew what I was doing, and as Cheranto moved toward me I drew a rovolver I always carried and fired at his head. I do not remember that I fired more than one shot and I do not know why I shot the other men.

1 was greatly excited and as Cheranto. who I had always known caused my parents to separate, said such things about, my mother. I had to kill The boy prisoner made another statement to Inspector Mackellar at noon. He then said nothing about Cheranto having caused the separation of his parents. An autopsy made on the body this morning showed that Demorcio's bullet penetrated a blood vessel leading from the heart.

Adc. Due Now if He Want? to Run for Senator. HIS FRIENDS AEE IX THE DABK. According to the Constitution He Is Not Eligible for Seat in the State Senate if He Holds Any City Office Within One Hundred Dnys of the Date Set for the Election E. J.

Knltenbnch 's Candidacy. The politicians at the city hall arc watch lng with some interest the movements of Al derman Joseph it. Clark, who is understood lie candidate for the Republican nomiu atlou for senator in the Ninth district. This district is made up of the Eighteenth, Twenty sixth, Twenty seventh and Twenty eighth, wards and is largely Republican. Aldcrmau Clark resides in the Twenty sixth ward and is very active in party affairs, being a leader of the dominant fuctiuu.

In order become eligible to the senate, Mr. Clark must resign as alderman this week, The state eonstlt tuion provides that no per son shall be eligible to the legislature, who at the time of his election is, or within 100 days previous thereto, has been un officer un der any city gov ni nent. Mr. Ciark has left and ins Is not ill the city nlhcc. He has several days yet In which to I it.

If he should decide to enter the noininn; loual contest. Some of the boys think that the alderniai. has realized that ne cannot secure the nomination and is out of tlie race. There would seem to b. no doubt that be could get the delegation from his own ward, but it seems that tile party leaders in the Eighteenth and Twenty seventh wards have promised to support Assemblyman Wlc i.tan tor the senate.

Tue. two wards will be represente 1 in the nominating convention jy delegates. There wiil be hU from ttO Twenty sixth and 114 from the Twenty eighth. The light will he to capture tho Twenty eighth ward and the man who can get it will Ik; the winner. Rumor has it that Mr.

i. lark has been testing sentiment in the ward with a result very unsatisfactory to himself, and that conseiiuently he has come to the conclusion that he isn't in it at all. He has. therefore. left town for the seclusion and rest which the country affords and where ward politics, or politics of any other kin4.

are discussed. As to the party sentiment In the Twenty eighth want, so far as it represented by the bosses. It Is said that It Is largely in favor Mr. Wlemati. The ward I however, has a candidate in the person of E.

J. Kaltenbaofc. who was at one time the boss of the ward, but who was turned down at the last primary, which shoved John G. Intebcrt to the front In his place. But Mr.

Kaltenbach has not lost all of his friends and is vet quite a facto in the politics of the ward. He atid his followers arc about to confer with the Duebert faction with the view of patching up some sort of a combination and as Iiuebert is not so strong as he once was, the movement may amount to something possibly the advocacy of Mr. Kaltenbach for the senatorial nomination.
