MUST INTERRUPT BUSINESS. Fulton Street Merchants Fear That if the Main ManhRttcn Thoroughfare Is Opened Their Own Cannot Escape. There is trepidation among Fulton street pr operty owners and business men, who fear that the "ditching" of that thoroughfare Commission, at which Mr. Parsons and John iiiiiMt open the Kr'tM for mu imi rt for il ih it nil in it. ii Otherwise, as Mr.

McDonald said, it vV. take ten years to build the lower Broadway tunnel, one of the smallest pieces of work undertaken in that Una. This declaration caused apprehension to the Brooklyn merchants. Their association, notwithstanding the assurance of Mr. Par- sons, has gone along organizing an effective body of guardians who will see to it that none of tile fair promises of the chief engineer are forgotten or repudiated.

Invitations will be Issued In a few days to every owner anij tenant of property on Fill-on street from the Ilorough Hall to Flatbush avenue, and on the latter thoroughfare from tho place ot beginning to th? Long Island Railroad depot, to meet and organize in defense of their Interests. When they have organized a fund will be made up from which the necessary expenses will be paid. An engineer is to bo appointed, whoso duty it shall be to patrol the scene of operations every day. The merchants know thai Mr. Parsons can give but little personal attention to Fulton street and that negligent contractors are not at all rare.

Their purpose in having an engineer on the ground 13 to see to it that nothing is permitted to remain on the surface of Ihe street that will interfere with traffic or business. In the eantimc the merchants fear that ihe rule that works on lower Broadway is the samo as that which will prevail on Fulton street. They argue that no such discrimination In favor of Brooklyn as would be apparent from a different course of action and ono highly favorable to the property owners will bo allowed here. Considering all these things many of them appear to think that before any further action is taken it might be well to reconsider the whole Fulton street project, and endeavor to arrange maters so that the line of the subway phonld be deflected into Liv ingston street. The widening of that thor i ought'are from Court street to Flatbush ave.

Cupid and the Imlgration Commissioner have had a tussle, and, as was to be expected in such an uneven battle, the Commissioner was worsted. After having been detained on Ellis Island since September 2, Giuscppa Sclonione, a pretty, dark eyed slgnoretta, who, since yesterday, bears the much prouder title of Signora Basile, left the Federal Building in Brooklyn at noon to-day, a free woman. That is, free as far as the authorities are concerned, but In truth, she sacrificed a bit of her real freedom to obtain her liberty. Yesterday she signed a common law marriage contract that binds her to Salvatora Basile of 190 Columbia street and thereby makes her an American citizen. When the habeas corpus proceedings brought by her husband came up before Commissioner Jlorle In tho United States District Court this morning and the fact of yesterday's marriage came to light, there was nothing left for him to do but to grant a discharge from tho custody ot the Immigration authorities.

(juiseppa came to this country on the steamship Ligura from Palermo, Italy, and arrived on September 2. When he was examined tho next day by the medical inspector he believed that she was suffering from some eye trouble and recommended against her being allowed to land. She was brought before a special board ot Inquiry and ordered to be deported back to Italy on board tho steamship Citta di Mllano. Fortunately for Gulseppa she had an ardent lovor In this country, who had long anticipated her coming and who was not going to stand by and see the Iron hand ot the law rob him of his sweetheart. Sal-vatore Basilo, a Brooklyn merchant In prosperous circumstances, whom she had come to wed, consulted with an attorney, and an application was made out praying the Federal Court to grant a writ of habeas corpus.

In his application Salvatoro, who is an American citizen, alleged that the girl's father died some lime ago and that she has no relatives living In Italy. Her mother. brother and three sisters live in Brooklyn. Tho petitioner proclaimed his intention of marrying her, and of his ability to take care of her in every way. Upon reading his application the court 1b-sued a writ, ordering the Commissioner of Immigration and the captain of the ship on which she W'as to be deported to "produce her body in the Federal Building of Brooklyn" on a certain day.

To give the lover time to complete his wedding preparations a postponement was taken, and the case came up for decision this morning, the wedding contract having been signed yesterday. Hearing of the wedding, and as a later examination has shown that the young woman's eye trouble is not of a serious nature, the attorney representing tlie commissioner of immigration consented to her discharge. If there Is truth in the look of fond affection with which the comely Italian girl regarded her happy husband as they walked out of the court, room she did not reerot having sacrifled a bit of her personal freedom in order to become a citizen of the land of liberty under such auspicious conditions.

GREEN FCR MC CLELLAN. Former Controller of Old Hew York Will Support the Democratic Candidate for Mayor. Andrew H. Green, ex-controller of the old City of New York, has announced his support of Colonel George B. McClellan for Mayor.

Mr. Greene gave out the following interview to-day: "1 see there are various candidates mentioned for mayor of New York and upon their fitness the Democratic organization must, cf course, decide. Among them are Mr. Grout, who has, I think, made an excellent controller; Judge Gicgerlch, J. Edward Simmons and George B.

Met lellan. While every man has his choice, Colonel McClellan seems more prominently mentioned than any other, and while I have no personal acquaintance with him, from what I hear and from his personal associations and antecedents it seems to me that to a man of his character, etanding and experience, the interests of the city government can be safely intrusted. He has been president of tho Board of Aldermen and acting mayor of the old city and has been live times elected to Congress.

-r, -r, x- Perfunctory Board of Education Course Vith the Budget Is Likely to Cause Criticism. Associate Superintendent Clareuce E. Mo leney refused this morning to make any re- ply t0 the unfavorable)' criticism ot the tru- sy3lPm 0f ihe Doard of Education mado Commoner. and Conner, .1 meeting of the board last night. Mr.

Harkness declared that the whole business was a great humbug, and Mr. Conncry questioned the Justification for incurring the annual expense of $100,000 to compel a lew hundred boys to go to school. All matters relating to truancy are under the supervision of iMr. "I have been directed by Mr. Maxwell to carry out the provisions of the law relating to this matter, and we are doing the best we can with the limited means at our disposal.

I have nothing to say about the remarks of any member of the board. Any member is euliilcd to his opinion. But there is the state law, which must be enforced." That there Is some confusion over the additional funds required for salaries of more attendance otiicers to tnforco the new pro visions of tne compulsory educution law. was indicated tills morning when it was learned i that the truant bureau hud included the same in the total asked for salaries of truant cf-lieers, amounting to $06,750. Last night the iioard of lCdueation allowed an additional $25,000 for the purpose, so that unless their action is rescinded Mr.

Meleney will have! this amount o' money more than he requires. The Hoard of Estimate is not likely to deal favorably with the school budget if the Board of Education doe3 not exercise greater care in submitting tho figures. At the meeting last night the twenty-six of the forty-six members of tho board present disposed of the budget In a perfunctory man question, and was carried on chieily by Mr. ILuknces and Mr. Connery.

Both disapproved nf tbp HVHlem hut Mi'- HnrkneaH was tht- only ono to vote nijainst appropriating I more money for this purpose. The other items in the budget, covering several hundred printed page, were passed en masse, the ehairmfin of the finance committee even try- ligures by doelfirinet that any changes would necessitate reprinting Ihe whole budget over again. It was only when Mr. Lummis on second thought suggested that if changes were required an appendix could be printed, that the money was provided for additional truant o'Hcers. which now appears to have been ill advised.

The Board of Superintendents have selected the following committees, subject to approval of the Board of Education: Committee on nomination, transfer and assignment, Messrs.
