Ke Restirds Callen os One of the Ablest Jnd es In tho Country and Wouldn't Run Against Rim lingo Hirsli Defines His 1'oU tkn. "Are you a candidate for the supreme court bench?" was the question put point blank to Hugo Hirsh this morning. "I am not a candidate. I have never been a candidate for any office," was the reply. Later Mr.

Hiruh said: "There is a great distinction between tho position of a man being a candidate for office in the line of his seeking it or desiring it or using all his efforts to the end of obtaining it and that of the man who does nothing toward that end. And it is a most dlificult thing to determine what the reply of a man would be when a most important convention of a great party tenders him a nomination which he has not sought." Among the other prominent Republicans spoken of In connection with tho aDnroachlnsr Judiciary convention is Colonel Albert B. Lamb. He was this morning asked the sama question as that put to Mr. Hirsh.

"Am I candidate?" he repeated. Then added: "Against Judge Cullen? No. Most decidedly I am not. He is, in my opinion, one of the ablest men upon the bench of the state and of the country. I am not a candidate against him." E0FFINGER WIN'S THE TI3IE PRIZE.

Sequel to a Drowning Accident at Say brook.

Conn. The funeral of Alexander P. Glendennlng took place from his late home, 365 Qulncy street. Mr. Qlendennlng's death was the direct result ot the death by drowning of his daughter, Miss Maria Glendenning, and his niece, Miss Kate Kutz.

It will be remembered that theso two girls were drowned while on a pleasure trip at Saybrook, September 6. The news of their death was a great shock to Mr. Glondonning, who, when he heard It, said: "It will not ho long before I follow the girls." As ho was not at any time a demonstrative man tho remark was noticed by bis family and when, five days ago, Mr. Glendenning was attacked with paralysis and brought home it lookod as If his words would be fulfilled. The result has proved them true.

Most of tho tlmo Mr. Glendenning was un conscious, but during his periods of sensibility he suffered much. The funeral service was held to day at 2 o'clock by tho Itev. J. H.

"Was the "Warning Shields Received, That Mr, He Had Already Been Caned, tint Wasn't fhot i omo of tho Complications Growing Out.

of a Ride Down the Uoulevard and a Visit to Kydc Theater. H. G. Chappell, a well known Wall street business man, who has passed the half century mark two years, and his young wife, a 21 year old blond, stopped at the Avlyn cottage, on DeBruyns lane, Bath Beach, the greater part of the summer, and decided to remain until October 1. A little incident caused Chappell to change his plans.

Mrs. Chappell was to have met her husband In his office at 4 o'clock on Monday afternoon, and together they wero going to look at a suite of rooms they proposed hiring for the winter. The young wife, however, thought a drive on the road after lunch would do her good. Accordingly she, with Mrs. H.

"Wood had Mr. Chappell'B team of blacks hitched up. It so happened that J. V. P.

Shields, a young Bath Beach real estate agent, with a friend, had occasion to be on the road the same afternoon, and it was not strange they ran across each other. Mrs. Woods and Shields wero friends, and the whole party wore soon introduced. Throe or four stops were made on the boulevard and it was 3:45 when Mrs. Chappoll reached her boarding houso.

It was impossible to meet her huBband at the appointed time and she sent a telegram stating she had beou taken suddenly ill and was unable to come. Mr. Chappell was not expected home until late that night and the four made arrangements to go to Hyde Behman's theater. It was close on to 11 o'clock when they returned. Chappell was sitting on tho front porch waiting for his sick wife.

When Mrs. Chappell turned the corner and saw her husband she ran away. Chappell ran out of the gate and accosted Shields. "Where's my wife?" he shouted. "I don't know," replied Shields, looking around at the other woman who was close by.

"This is the only woman here." Chappell's cane fell heavily on Shields' head three times, and Shields disappeared in the darkness. The young wife In the meantime had reached hor room unobserved. What occurred when Chappell found hor there may never be known. Yesterday morning Chappell was standing near the captain's pier when Shields walked up. Shields assumed an expression of Injured innocence.

He saluted Chappell with: "Good morning." "Who are you?" asked Chappell. "I am the young man with whom you had some difficulty last night." The old man glared and made a motion which justified tho assumption that ho was about to draw a pistol. Shields tried to make a hurried explanation. "Run," shouted one of Shield's friends. "He's got a gun." Chappell did not pull a gun, but turned about and walked away.

Less than one half an hour later thoro was considerable hustling in the Avlyn cottage. Trunks and boxes were being literally thrown down tho stairs, and two colored expressmen were kept busy piling them in a wagon. Mr. and Mrs. Chappell boarded a trolley car together at the Bath Beach station and vanished.

THE REV. JIR, TAG01ART WASTED. He 1b in Canada ana 3 litis Tncir money "Willi X2im. The Rev. Thomas Taggiart, colored, who for the past two years has been doing mission work in Northpcrt, has gone to Canada, and apparently not without a reason.

Saturday Rov. F. F. Giles, presiding elder of the district, went to Northport and told the colored people that Mr. Taggiart had written from Canada to the bishop asking for a recommendation, but that the bishop had withhold his reply until he had consulted by letter with the eldor.

The elder, before making his reply, had decided to investigate. Ke learned that the Northport congregation had been endeavoring for the past two years to raise money enough to build a church. So far they had been able to collect by subscription and entertainments something over $200. Mr. Taggiart had taken charge of this money, saying he had deposited the Bamo in tho bank ot Huntington to the credit of the people.

A telegram to tho bank brought the response that no account had been opened there. Under the guidance of the elder steps were taken to attach the dominie's horse and wagon, which is at Huntington. Mr. Taggiart received a salary of $300 from Huntington and $200 from Northport. He Is ahead of his salary at both places.

At Northport he Influenced a brother to secure a loan of $30 in his own name for him, saying he was short in his rent money and that he could deduct the amount from his salary when due. The brother is poor, but honest, and will now have to pay tho obligation. JOSEPH FIELD IS 102 YEARS OLD. He Mis Anniversary on Slisi Farm; To day. (Special to tli Eattls.) Red Bank, X.

He was a rather shabbily dressed, quiet looking fellow, was this maniac.

Suddenly the air was rent with an ear splitting yell of Murder Murder!" Help!" "Police." Mr. Short went over to the follow and tried to quiet him, whereupon the maniac whipped out a long, murderous looking knife and Mr.

Short jumped baok just in time to oavoid being Btabbed. As it was he caught the point of the knife with his hand, causing a slight abrasion of the skin. The fellow stood stock still, yelllna: like a fiend and slashing the air with his knife. It is hardly necessary to say that ho had tho placo to hiself in the twinkling ot an eye. Mr.

Short and his assistant, Mr. Lowon stein, losing no time in getting out of harm's way. After holding the fort for about two min utes the maniac mado a bound for the back door, daGhed down the steps and sped up Liv ingston street, knife in nana, screaming at the top of his voice.
