She was pretty.

So was Miss Arlington, who sang well. Incidentally considerable amusonatnt was furnished by the antics of a tall non com. who is known by his comrades as "Bob slmmons," because ef his marked rosenblanco to the champion pugilist.

In One Instance tho Defandant Is Serv inc a Term in Sing Sing In the Reynolds Kult Criminal Proceedings Were Not Brought Justice Dickey Refuses to Award to a Divorced Mother tho Custody of Her Child. There were many undefended divorce suits to day before Justice Dickey in Supreme Court, Special Term.

James S. Martin asked for absolute dtvroce from Anna B. Martin, to whom he was married in April, 1893. Tho plaintiff said he lived with his father, Uphraim Martin at 1,467 Pacific street. Tha father and a detective, William W.

Wright of 734 Fulton street, testified that they found the defendant at the Hotel Vendomo, New York City, with a man who had registered as Frank Thompson and wife. The decree was granted. Decrees of absolute divorce were granted to Nochman Bienstock from Phryna Blen stock, Minnie E. Davis from John B. Davis and Emma Zeiss from August Zeiss.

Mary J. Van Houton of 185 Adams street had her marriage with "William Van Houtoa annulled on the ground that the defendant is now serving a term of two years in Sing Sing prison for bigamy. He married Ella C. Haines of 285 Hopkins street on December 1G, 18DG, while he was the husband of th plaintiff. He lived with Miss Haines for five months until he was arrested on a charge of bigamy.

The suit of Nellie Hutchinson for absolute divorce from Lester Hutchinson was then called. On April 18 last, at a hotel on Duffield as witness testified, Hucchinson and woma.n as "Charles Ross and wife." A decree was granted. The marriage ceremony between Mary M. Reynolds and Henry Reynolds, who were mar ri by the Rev. Father John Barry of St.

The real name of the defendant was Hugo Baumann and he marrie the plaintiff under the name of Reynolds, his wi'fe's maiden name. Mrs. Ba umaan, holding a baby In her arms, went on the witness stand a.nd said she was married to Baumann, or Reynolds, on November 15, 1SS6, and had three children living, of Whom he was the father.

After marrying the plaintiff In this suit the defendant returned for a short time to live with Mrs. Baumann at Wartzburg, Sullivan County, N. Y. He had since then disappeared. He was agent for th New York Life Insurance Company.

The ca of Andrew A. Wild against Ida E. Wild was then called. The plaintiff asked for absolute divorce on the ground that his wife left him on June 1894. and is now Jiving with George Ball, as the papers sayf at 253 Pulaski street.

His honor said he would grant the divorce and then arose the question as to the custody of the only child, a boy 9 years old, now with the wife. Wild' said he wanted to leave the child witk the mother. Justice Dickey said he was astonished that such a request should bo made. He would not leave the child with a woman under such circumstances. Counsel said the wife liad been abandoned by the husband for four years and he had not supported her as he had a small salary.

The wife had since had a marriage ceremony with Ball. "Then she's a bigamist," said his honor. "1 will not make any order concerning tho child." The plaintiff is a traveling man. A dergree of separation was granted to Julia Satterly from William Satterly. They were married in 1892 and have three children, 5, 4 and 2 years old.

in the Third Tickets Eleoted and De tails of the Meetings. The Democratic machluo last night perfected organization In the twenty one assem bly districts of the county the several meetings belne called to order by members of the committee of thirty two designated for the purpose. As a rule the meetings were harmonious, but In a few there were fights of more or less Intensity. In some districts the county delegates choose their members of the executive and organization committees. In the eighth district the Millard faction tried to get recognition but were turned down by Alderman McGarry, who named the ten county delegates himself.

Ex Police Justice Haggerty won In 'the Tenth District and Brown in the Twentieth, Joseph Lawson being the only one on the other ticket, elected there. Daniel Ryan appears as a member of the. county committee in the Ninth (Coffey's) District. He will control the Seventh. James Kane did not run on the Third, but he 1b represented there by Michael J.

Cummings. So Alderman A. Doyle may be expected to. look out for Ryan's interest in the Seventh, until Ryan changes his residence. Although there are two executive committeemen from each district only one, of course, can be the leader.

Following are the details of the meetings In tho different districts: First District The delegates to the First Assembly District convention met at 108 Dean street, the 'headquarters of the Third Ward Young Colonel Michell's Experience in Connection With a War Relic FOUND ON VIRGINIA SOIL. The Colonel Lost the Keepsake, a Handsome Medal, Over Three Decades Ago.

"Was Thinking of the Event When a Virginia Paper Was on Its Way Announcing That the Medal Had Been Found. Colonel Harry W. MIchell of the Fourteenth Regiment and special deputy commissioner of excise for Kings County, has had an experience in the present week which has put him on tho track of a valued possession of the war times and has, perhaps, also laid the foun i dation for a belief on his part In the truth of telepathy or thought transference. The colonel, up to date, has not paid very much attention to psychology or the mysteries of psychic force, but it Is sate to say that in the future he will listen with some degree of attention to Theosophlsts and the like when they talk of receiving messages from their mahat mas. The colonel's mahatma was out scouting Monday without the valiant warrior knowing anything about It, and brought to him a genuine tip.

The story that the colonel tella is as follows: "On Monday of this week I was reading a story of army life when a scene pictured recalled an event of the late war In which I lost a medal presented to me by the men of my company In the Fourteenth regiment, ot which I was at that time a first lieutenant. It was a stormy wintry night in Virginia and the times were anxious for all ot us. At the height of a storm I went on a visit to tho picket line, floundering through snow and drifts. I wore the medal given me by the men of tho company, and In the struggle against the gale I lost it. I did not discover the loss until the next morning.

Of course I made every effort to find tho medal, but without success, for the ground was covered with snow, several feet deep In places. The medal had no special significance aside from being a token of the good feeling of the men toward me but I prized it even more on that account. It was made of a root of laurel wood, hard and bearing a very high polish. It was cut in the shape of a Maltese cross, which was the badge of our corps. The ornamentation was of silver set in the wood and was very finely executed.

We had in the company men who were skillful In such things, and the medal was a handsome one. I wore It suspended from a bar with a ribbon. "Well, as I said, on Monday this event was recalled to my mind, and I spoke of it to several friends who were around at the time, and expressed a wish that I might yet recover the token after all these years. You can Imagine my pleasure and surprise when the mail brought me the next morning a copy cf the Richmond Dispatch of May 23, In which the following was marked: An Interesting Rello of the War Picked Up. Comorn, Klne Georso County, May 21 (Special) EJvery now amd then som one hero unearths an intrestinff relic, which reminds of those dark days when the hills of Klnjr and Stafford wero dotted with the tenia of federal soldiers whtt the vast areas of this section of Virginia were camping grounds of the enemy and when tlie heart of nearly every native ached under persecutions and privations.

Tlie latest find of Interest Is a well preserved badge, picked up the other day by Mr. Joseph C. Rolllna of Igo Post OlT.ce, this county, bearing on one side the words: "Major General G. D. McClellan; War of 1861," an3 the photograph of that officer, and on the other side the words, W.

MIchell, Company C. Fourteenth Regiment, New York S. Brooklyn, N. This unique badge is a thing of beauty and a curiosity. One ot the most notable ploekt lines In Northern Virginia for some time was that which crossed the upper part of thin county, beginning at Fair VVew, on the Potomac, and extending to Spring Hill, on the.

Rappahannock River the memorable line which formed a barrier that separated the. people of, one part of the county from those of the other' part and which none could cross to get to a gristmill, or anywhere else, save he who could secure a properly eigned pass from certain federal officers. It wao oil thla noted old picket line that Joseph C. Rollins the other day found the prized relic bearing the picture and name of General George B. McClellan, whose name was a household word in these parts thirty odd years ago.

Perhaps the most wond'erful thing abou't the badge Is the tact that after thh ty odd years' exposure to sunshine, rain, snow and storms an. other corroding Influences, It remain's in a remarkable state of preservation every letter on It being Intact and plain. "This was sent to me by a friend, and was on the way when I talkol of the medal. I will nedeavor to recover it from the finder, for with all Its artistic excellence, it is in flnately more valuable to me than it possibly can be to any one else. Just to think that after over thirty years lying on the old battle field, perhaps being plowed under and under again, walked on, rained and snowed on, this this old keepsake should find its way back to me.

It is indeed a happy thought that I may receive it within a few days." The colonel paused for a moment after narrating the above and added: "I would like to have some one tell me why I thought of that medal and xhe circumstances attending Its loss on Monday, after It had been out of my mind for years. Was It a coincidence or was it something else?" HEALTH PROTECTIVE OFFICERS Eleoted at the Closing Meeting for the Season This Morning. The election ot officers for the ensuing year was held this morning by the directors of the Health Protective Association at its rooms, 204 Livingston street. The former board was chosen to servo again and is as follows: President, Mrs. James Scrirngeour; vice president, Mrs.

On the conclusion of the business the directors adjourned for the summer recess and will reconvene in September. HOT WEATHER DISEASES. Dr. Emery Planning to Save Many Lives.

Dr. Z. Taylor Emery, the commissioner cf health, with the help of several citizens and charitable societies, is matting an effort to as much as possible the number of fatal cases ot summer diseases among tho children of the poor during the coming hot weather. His department finds Itself unable to cope with the problem, and he makes an appeal for money about to carry out a ECheme which his department, acting in cooperation with the Brooklyn Diet D.spensary, the Bureau of Charities, the Children's Aid Society and the district nurses of the Rod Crop? Society, has In view. This plan to place Pasteurized milk within the financial reach of the poorest.

The doctor and others, who, like him, have had occasion to study the conditions wtuch contribute largoly to fatal diseases among the cliiidTen of the poor in summer, believe that lack of proper fcod is the principal cause of such illness. This condition they propose to ameliorate If possible. The various branches of the Diet Dispensary have been offered and will be utilized as stations for the distribution ot tho milk.

He Reads a Long Statement, Telling His Story of the Murder of His Wife His Last Hours at Georgetown, Spent in Praying and Singing With ClergymenStory cf the Brutal Crime He Was Convicted of.

Georgetown, June 11 James M. Gordy was hanged In the Sussex County jail at 10:26 this morning for the murder of his wife. Gordy displayed very little nervousness and protested his innocence to the last. It had been rumored last night that a party ot men were coming to Georgetown this morning to mob the murderer, but Sheriff Johnson took extra precaution, and between 7 and 8 o'clock this morning he swore in forty deputies and thirty Jurymen, the latter to witness the execution. At the same time George Hatfield of Georgetown, wfoo erected the scaffold, put on the finishing touches and tested It.

Gordy retired about 10 o'clock last night, and, although he was awake several times during the night, he rested comparatively well. Gordy arose from his bed about 5 olclock this morning, apparently much refreshed from his night's rest.A tempting breakfast of beefsteak, ham and eggs, oat meal and coffeu was sent over to the Jail by order of the sheriff, from the Eagle Hotel, but Gordy refused to touch it, saying that he did not want any breakfast. Early in the morning people from the country and nearby towns began to arrive in carriages and by other conveyances, and by 10 o'clock the town was literally crowded with strangers. There was no disorder, however, and the crowd appeared to be more curious than anything else. They appeared to be willing that the law should take Its course.

The most touching scene of the morning was the visit from Gordy's brothers, John and Benton. They arrived at the Jail at 8:30 with a new suit for the prisoner. As they entered the cell they wept bitterly and the prlsonpr was somewhat moved. The meeting was touching in the extreme and the deep grief of the brothers was manifest from the outside. They remained about twenty minutes and while In the cell the prisoner with a loud voice sang tho hymn, "There'll be no more parting there," At 9:50 Gordy's spiritual advisers, tho Revs.

J. H. Sewell, P. S. Cain and V.

S. Collins, arrived at the Jail. They talked, prayed and sang with the prisoner while he was cot otherwise engaged. Whenever Gordy was left alone for a few minutes, he spent the time singing familiar hymns. After the departure of his brothers he donned his new black suit and spent several minutes arranging his hair.

He seemed less concerned about hlB approaching doom than anyone else connected with the hanging. To everyone who inquired Gordy said he was perfectly willing and ready to meet his God. After the Jury had been sworn in and stationed in the yard, Gordy's brothers were again admitted to the cell. The prisoner broke down but soon became calm and bade them a second good by without a tremor in his voice. Tho last few minutes berore the march to the scaffold were spent by GoTdy with the ministers, who sang and prayed fervently.

The march to the gallows began at 10:10 o'clock. Sheriff Johnson led the way, followed by the Revs. Sewall and Collins, after which came Gordy, with ex Sheriffs Sharp and Purnell at his side. Gordy was handcuffed, but walked with a firm step up the scaffold steps. At ttie conclusion of the prayer tho doomed man was asked if he had anything to say.

He said he had and then read a statement from manuscript which wes held before him by one of xhe ex sherifts. Gordy read In a disconnected manner and at times It was difficult to gather his meaning. The statement was a long one, detailing Ills story of the murder, protesting his innocenco and closing as follows: "Now, I want the gentlemen whom I selected as pallbearers not to think I did It through spite. I bear no 111 feeling toward anyone. I ask them to put their trust In the Lord, so that when time snail be no more they can stand with great hope of eternal rest before the Judge of all the eirth.

Fcr the sheriff, hl3 assistants, the minister, my counsel and all others concerned, I have only kind words to speak. They, I believe, have done what they could for me. To all I say goodby. You believe I'm guilty. God and I know I am not.

I bellove I'm going to heaven. I do hope you who hear and those who reaVny statement will ultimately enter the rest that remains for the people of God. Farewell." After making bis statement to the spectators assembled In the yard Gordy said: "Farewell, gentlemen, to you." He then turned to these on the scaffold and bade each farewell. Again addressing the spectators he said: "Gentlemen, when 5 ou have the love of God you need not fear death. I have asked Him for the last Ave or six days to take care of me and I thank God he will do it.

I thank God that I can stand before you and say farewell, farewell." The signal was given by Sheriff Johnson and Deputy George W. Hatfield sprung the trap at exactly 10:25 oVlock. Everything worked smoothly and the body shot down like a log. It remainod hanging about nine minutes, at the expiration of which time Doctors Robinson and Messlck pronounced life extinct and It was cut down. The physicians stated that tho neck had not been broken.

The murder of Mrs. Gordy was one of the most brutal and deliberate in criminal annals. The body of Mrs. Estella M. Gordy was found In the Broadklll Creek, near Milton, March 11, by two fishermen.

Until March 10 the woman had lived at 2.G13 Eighth avenue. New York City, and was known there until a few days before as Mrs. Estella M. Lewis, widow of Major Robert M. Lewis, a former prominent ink manufacturer.

Two days previous to the woman's disappearance from New York City she told some of her friends that she had married Jamos M. Gordy, a planter and horse breeder, living in Delaware. Suspicion pointed to Gordy, who was finally located at his mother's home. In Sussex County, about sixteen mllos from Georgetown, and taken to Georgetown Jail. When taken Into custody Gordy turned to the officers and said: "I didn't hurt that woman." He had not been told why ho had been arrested.

In his pockets were found a woman's pocket book, containing $300 and a diamond ring, tho latter was iden tilled as the property of tho dead woman by hor sister, Mrs. Blanche Goctz of Brooklyn. Gordy was placed on trial on April 15, and two days later Gordy was found guilty. MEN OF THE THIRTEENTH DINE. Non commissioned Officers Have a Good Time Police Captain O'Reilly Calls to Investigate.

WELLES' IDEAS As to the Method of Examining Would Ee Policemen for "Fitness." Reply to Mr. Orr. Tho Civil Service Commission To day re ceived this: Commissioner's Office, Department of Folice and Excise, Municipal Brooklyn.

N. June 10. 1S07. Hon. A.

E. Orr, Chairman Civil Service Commission Dear sir In response to your letter of May 27, requesting the head of each department to state the lines on which competitive uxamlnatlons can be conducted to determine the fitness of applicants for positions in his department. 1 herewith submit the following outline of my ideas au to the linea of examination to he folluwsd to determine the Iltness of applicants for the positions of patrolmen and doormen First Physical examination, conducted upon lines similar to thoHe heretofore followed. Second Oral examination. This examination to bo made by two or more persona and to consist of inquiries made of applicant to ascertain his habits, former occupation and present associations, his senee of duty as a citizen and an a policemen, his good Judgment and discretion In times of trouble, his courage, deliberation, cool and disposition and temperament, his common sense, his knowledge, of the English language and his ability to speak the same correctly, it being desired by thin examination not only to ascertain the mental capabilities and general knowledce of the applicant upon the matters stated, but also his manner of speaking whether gentlemanly and couteously or roughly and brusquely, his demeanor during the examination anl his frankness and willingness in making replies and his general conduct, it being believed that one of the essential qualifications of a policeman is that he hall be a gentleman.

Third General appearance. This to conint of course of a personal Inspection of applicant to ascertain as well as can be done In that manner his honesty, truthfulness anr uprihtrousness of character, his habits as to sobriety, neatness and decorum, whether he Is gentlemanly looking, and whether from his general appearance taken in connection with the balance of the examination, he would In the Judgment of the examiner moke a competent police oillcer. Fourth Examinations of vouchers. This examination to obtain any satisfactory results should also be personal and not by written blanks and should be directed to ascertain how long and well the vouchers have personally known the applicant, what applicant's previous occupations have been, and if the name of any firmer employer is obtained, personal Inquiry should be made from his as to applicant's honesty, willingness to work and general character, unj vouchers should also state fully what they know as to applicant's honesty and character and all that they know concerning him. Tlie foregoing are mere suggestions tha havr occurrod to me, and It may be found to bo Impracticable to earn" them out and they are In no sense Intended to be the only linen which could be followed In conducting examination for fltnens.

Ae the probability of there being any vacany in this department other than In the po rttlons of patrolmen and doormen Is so slight, hare run at this time made any suggestion's as to the lines Of examinations to ascertain fltnesa for appointment to any other positions in this department, but will do so if you bo desire and the occasion demands. In relation to th position of property clerk In this department for which you ma to an examination must shortly be held by your commission, I bg1 to call your attention to the rvaturo of the duties eprformexl by the property clerk, whloh. (tfio that his position is oiv which is confidential to the head of the department. A part of the duties of tlo position Is to take care of ami keep safely all property and mon ey which has boen stolen or lost umi 1 retu ml to th rightful owtwt, and thousands of dollars in money and property ar In that manner held by tho property clrk. And as by the charter of the City of Brooklyn, as bead of this department, nm responsible for the safekeeping of such property, It can readily bo seen that the position Is one which must 1 hnld by a person In whom tho commissioner can place absolute trust and confidence.

tti addition, 1 beg to again call your commission's attention to the fnct that the courts have nlreudy hold that the position of property clerk in this department Is a confidential one, and. therefore, not In the schedule of positions to be filled by competitive examinations. And the Court of Appeals in a very recent case of Robert who was the anslssnnt warrant clerk in tin Controller's office, has held that that posit Inn wus also a confidential on and under these decisions I hnve been advlped that the ooslt Ion uf property cleric is a confidential one. I. therefore, respectfully submit that no examination should be held by your commission for the position of property clerk in this lepartment.

Respectfully yours, LEONARD R. WELLES, Commissioner. FROEBEL ACADEMY CI OSEa Interesting Exercises Held by the Pupils This Morning.

In the Third District the proceedings were a mere formality, the complexion of the ticket having been adjusted before the meeting.

The convention was held at Irving and Columbia streets. Fourth District. It was expected that the organization of the Fourht District would be a simple matter of form, as on Tuesday night a ticket was prepared that was understood to suit all parties. But' on Wednesday night an opposition ticket was put in the field, and the leadership of ex Distrlct Attorney James W. RIdgway, whose supporters wero vigorous in their assertion that they had had enough of the leadership of James B.

Bouck, who had been delegated by the committee of thirty two to call the meeting to order in Jackson Hall, on Kent avenue, near Myrtle, and preside until a permanent organization had been perfected. The Fourth Assembly District is composed of the entire Seventh Ward, six districts from the Nineteenth and two from the Twenty first Wards. There were fifty eight delegates, but one of whom was absent. A great deal of caucusing was done on the sidewalk, and it was after 9 o'clock when Mr. Bouck called the meeting to order.

The first business was the election of a chairman. The Bouck faction placed In nomination John A. Clarry and the Ridgwayltes nominated Francis H. McArthur. This was the test of strength and Clarry won by a vote of 40 to 18.

Then the rest of the regular ticket went through by substantial majorities. Fifth District. The Fifth Assembly Convention was callefd to order last night by James D. Bell, at 224 Bedford avenue. It was at first thought there would be an opposition ticket in tSie field, but it did not and the ticket as prepared by the leaders was elected unanimously.

The Seventh Assembly District committee held its first meeting under the new plan of organization formulated by the county general committee, last night, at the corner of Fourth avenue and Forty ninth street Alderman Doyle acted as temporary chairman and John P. Mulcahy as secretary. Harmony prevailed and the regular ticket went through; Short speeches were made by Luke D. Staple ton and John W. Murphy.

Eighth District. Although there was a contest there was not the anticipated fight in the Eighth District, tho meeting being held at 15G Nevlns street. This district takes in the ground of Alderman MoGarry's domain. The Millard Tlghe faction nominated four persons for delegates to the county committee, William J. Heney, who named them, making a speech for harmony.

He named John C. L. Daly, James Millard, John P. McNamara and John J. Donnelly.

The result proved that the McGar ryites were not looking for that kind of harmony, for out of the thirty one votes the McGarry ticket got twenty one. George Gru was nominated for secretary, but was beaten by a vote of 22 to 9. Ninth Dist rict. There was perfect peace in the Ninth DIs trlct, which takes In Senator 'Micfoael Coffey's territory. The ticket had been cut and dried.

The convention was held at 136 Lnqueer street. Tenth District. Ex Police Justice Henry F. Haggerty and Edward J.

Dooley read his commission and began proceedings. The fight was a double ender, Haggerty being opposed in the Eleventh Ward by John J. Moran, while Dooley's ward, the Twentieth, eave him a rub under the leadership of Richard Meehan. Haggerty conciliated his opponents by putting Moran on the ticket as a delegate and thus helping his running mate by a solid vote of 20. The Tenth Assembly District Is composed of all the Twentieth Ward and ten districts of the Eleventh, making fifty delegates in all, only one being absent.

Tho test of strength came on the election of chairman. Judge Haggerty was at once placed In nomination as was also Bernard J. Moran. Haggerty won by a vote of 32 to 17. Walter Wilding was elected secretary without opposition and the other officers were skipped in a desired In a desire to get at the delegates to the county committee.

The Eleventh Ward had agreed on Its four, but the Twentieth had two sets of names. Finally a motion prevailed authorizing the chair to appoint a committee of ten to prepare a ballot. All agreed that this would do no good, but it went, Just tho same. This committee was made up of Richard Meehan. John Roche, Thomas Kelly, William J.

Doyle, Henry J. Nichols, David T. Lynch, Henry Gerkeu and Richard J. Meehan. The vote was by the ticket and resulted in Haggorty's and Dooley's victory by a vote of 33 to 16, except that Frost lost a vote to Lynch from James j.

Seventeenth District The rooms of the young mens' Democratic organization at 561 Gates avenue were the meeting place of the delegates of the Seventeenth District Assembly last evening.

Shea served as such until Will lam J. Sefton was elected president. There was no opposition to the ticket nominated and the meeting closed quietly. Eighteenth District The meeting In the Eighteenth District, held at 100 Buffalo avenue, corner of Dean street, progressed without muoh discord. Frank D.

Creamer called It to order at 8:30, and tSie caucus ticket, went "through with small opposition. Owen Murray of the Fourth District vas nominated in opposition to Daniel J. Madden, but eventually withdrew his nu me and the election of xfce latter was made unanimous. Nineteenth District. These who raid that Heir Gottfried Wester nacher and his followers would have anything but a walkover in the organization of the Nineteenth Assembly District last night reckoned without their host.

Mr. Westernacher swept everything before him. The convention was 'aeld in the rear room of 251 Powers street Westernacher was so confident of the Issue that he did not deem it necessary to mix In the organization proceedings, surveying the fleld frem afar like some conquering Napoleon, with his spy glass. Ex Police Justice Goetting, who wus expected to make a fight for the leadership against Westernacher, did not materialize. EdTvard Glennen called xhe convention to order on behalf of tlie committee of thirty two.

His request for nominations for president was responded to by Peter F. Huberty, who proceeded to make a regular stump speech. There were good hopes, he said, ot Democratic success In the Greater New York, but it was necessary that all Democrats should cast aside their prejudices and work together. A minority party was in control of the city and state and had been for several years. The reason was, Mr.

Huberty said, because Democrats have been Jealous of each other and fighting each other. The speaker here stopped talking politics In general to eulogize the virtues of Mr. Herman Gohllng hcrst, who, he said, had never held political office, but had done the Democratic party yeoman service in the Rasweller Democratic League. He concluded by placing Mr. Goh llnghorst In nomination for president.

The election having been made unanimous, Mr. Gohllnghorst took the chair and the election of the following other officers was next accomplished: Vice president, John ScSuna; secretary, Frank Magee; Conrad Hassenpflug. There were twelve candidates for the county committee, of whom Richard Carroll and John Blsson belonged to the minority faction. They received four votes apiece. The ten elected received from thlTty six to forty votes each.

Twentieth District The meeting in the Twentieth district was held In Schnellle's Hall, at the corner of Bushwick avenue and Eldert street. Joseph Lawson, the leader of one faction, called the meeting to order by virtue of his membership In the committee of thirty two on organization. For five years the Law3on faction, headed by Joseph Lawson. the temporary chairman, and the Brown faction, headed by Robert T. Brown, have been struggling In the district.

Lawson has won in every contest for the last five years. At the primaries the night before last Brown's ticket won, the first victory in Ave years. Before this victory Lawson was entitled to say that his faction represented the regulars and Brown the opposition. By Brown's victory their respective positions were changed. The Brown ticket selected at that time was headed by Edward Pappert for president and Robert Hagelsteln as executive memtier.

After the meeting Lawson and his followers got together and got up a ticket which they kept quiet until last night. This ticket named John H. Maher for president and Joseph Law son for executive member. The first test of strength between the factions came at the opening of last night's meeting. Brown nominated Ernest Gerard for temporary secretary and he was elected by an apparently unanimous vote.

At the opening of the meeting Brown and Lawson had a short dispute. Brown insinuated that Mr. Quigley was delaying the calling of the meeting In order that he might gather in his supporters. Lawson made a sharp rejoinder, and 'Brown made no answer. The meeting was hardly opened before John T.

Lang of the Brown party moved that the meeting go Into executive session. This motion precipitated a storm of debate. John H. Maher moved to amend to the effect that the meeting should not go into executive session. The original motion was carried with a roar.

This meant that the newspaper men were to be excluded with the rest. After a short flurry It was decided to allow the reporters to remain, on the ground that nothing done In a Democratic meeting could warrant the exclusion ot reporters. The vote by districts for chairman showed 32 for Pappert and 25 for Maher, a victory for Brown. The election h'as made unanimous. Ernest Gerard of the Brown ticket was elected secretary by a vote of 31 to 23.

The Brown ticket named a finance committee and an organization committee while the Lawson ticket did not. After a short debate It was decided to allow the president to name these committees. President Pappert announced that the appointments would be made later. Twenty first District. The meeting in the Twenty first district was held at Schlellein's, Vormont street and Atlan tic avenue.

Ex Assistant District Attorney i John McGuire called the meeting to order at 8:40, and after roll call and payment of dues nominations were declared In order. Every thing was harmonious, the only opposition to the caucus ticket being the nomination cf Peter J. McKeown for delegate. His follow Ing was not large, however, and tho caucus nominees were all elected. THERE IS A CLASS OF PEOPLE Who are injured by the une of coffee.
