Arrangements for the funeral of Andre Green, the "father of Greater New York," who was murdered yesterday, will not be completed until this evening. At the Green residence, 91 Park avenue, Manhattan, this afternoon, Miss Lucy Green, niece of the murdered man, stated that the funeral arrangements would not be made until the arrival of Oliver Green, brother of the dead man who is expected to arrive from Chicago to-day. Not until 6 o'clock this evening. suld Miss Green, will any information be given out as to the funeral or events of the day. An officer stood guard at the Park avenue residence to-day and admission was denied all but the most intimate friends of the family.

Many caller3 left their cards at the door with messages of condolence and nu merous telegrams and letters of sympathy were received. 'It is my opiulon that the negro mistook Mr. Green for someone else," said Inspector George McClusky of the detective bureau thiB morning, In referring to the murder of Andrew H. Green. When the Inspector arrived at Police Headquarters he was asked if he had dis covered any facts that would bear out the story told by Williams when he was arrested yesterday, regarding his motive for the shooting.

"We have found absolutely nothing that would substantiate any ot the things ho said," replied the inspector. The inspector Bald that the woman, Hattie Ross, who Is alleged to have said that Mr. Green knew Bessie Davis, was "absolutely unreliable." The inspector said bis men were looking for tho Davis woman and expected to And her soon. When the inspector was asked if Williams had had any grievance against some other man named Green he replied: "I am not making any statements just now." Cornelius M. Williams, the negro who murdered Mr.

Green yesterday, spent a quiet night in tho Tombs last night. Shortly after o'clock he sent out for a hearty meal, which he ale with relish, and then otdcrcd all the evening newspapers. He. read them through carefully and read and re-read the accounts of the murder committed by himself. Keepers Evers and Fields, who have charge of the tier where Williams' coll is located, say he spent an uneventful night.

When he arose this morning Williams scrt for hia breakfust to a nearby restaurant, and then ordered the morning papers sent to his ceil. Deputy Warden Hanley said that a number of people called at the Tombs to Bee tho negro murderer, but he refused to sec anybody, requesting them to call on his counsel if they had anything to communicate to him. Ever since his arrest Williams has bin calm. Deputy Warden Hanley said the negro doesn't seem to be ill the orrled about anything. Abraham Hummel of the law firm of Howo it Hummel, who are the counsel for WtlW lams, the prisoner, gave out the following typewritten statement this afternoon: "Every man, woman and child must look upon the awful deed with abhorrence.

Andrew H. Green was not alone tho fnther of Greater New York, but towered head aud shoulders above any, Incomparably aa Now York's first citizen. It Is charitable to look upon thiB deplorable act of his assassination aa the act of a madman. No one except ona with reason dethroned would havo been guilty of Its perpetration. It seems to mo that an immediate examination of the prisoner should made aa to his mcntnl capacity.

Thai and that alone will snthfy tk public. Vnless he la a lunatlo there can be nothing said In palliation, let alone Justification, and I will be recreant to my sworn oath If I did not unite In the universal sentiment which would Justify the Immediate execution of this fellow, unless It wa3 established beyond peradventure th.it his mental condition was such that he could not be held responsible or accountable for his RUSSIAN ROMANCE IN COURT. Mra. Cheekansky Sought a Jewleh Divorce, but Fights an American One. An Interesting story came out this morning on a motion for alimony nnd counsel fee niade by counsel In the suit for absolute divorce of Isaac Cheekansky against Delia Cheekansky, which came up before Justice Dickey at apeclul term of the Supreme Court.

The phtlntlff aaya he began action May 2, and that the answer waa made May 21. 1 tr couple were married at Russnol, Russia, March li. 18. Immediately after their nmrrlnge they left the country and stnrted for America.

This he refused and after aome persuasion she was Induced to follow him to the I'nlted tttatea. where he BHed up a bom for her In this borough. He dcclarea that she moved so frequently that it waa almoat Impossible for him to keep track of bar. Finally, Chcokowsky aaya. he discovered her living with a man named tlulman at .10 Powell street, hy whom lie aaya she la now being supported.

He declares that she offered to accept lint) and not defend the divorce proceedings. All nf these allegations the defendant denied. Hhe rnnrgeei ananoonniciu aim pkiu she waa making but a scanty living for herself and child by doing course tailoring. Her huaband. ahe snld.

Appellate Division's View, Experts Think, Would Put Most Politicians Behind the Bars. Stimulated bribery, of which Alderman William Dickinson of the Fifty-eighth (Greenpoint) District Btands accused, la an offense new to the politicians, although it rested undisturbed In the law for ccn turies.

Dickinson, whose term of office Is conlng t0 an cnd, was elected on the Fusion 31n pIuraty ln 1901. He was do- fcated this year. The chargo against him la that he wrote a (otter to Street Cleaning Commissioner Woodbury, on September 30. 1902, ln which SOIU If you will reinstate Antonio Covlno. a -driver nK.t, wuj vote and otherwise help you to obtain money needed for a new muni ie Tn( written in answer to a request dated fom Mr.

Woodbury, writing and dated days before, In which the Commissioner if an appropriation in which he was in- tere8ted passed the Board of Aldermen ho consider Covino's case in Its regular i ord2r. Letters of a like uvnor passed between Commissioner and other Aldermen, It is il Dickinson was held for tho Court of Gen eral Sessions In Manhattan by Justice Wyatt a charge of violating Section 72 of tho Penal Code, making It a felony "to ask, re ceive or airn-e to receive a bribe, or any money, property or value of any kind, or any promise or agreement therefor upon any agreement or tnderstanding that his vote, opinion, Judgment, action, decision, or other official proceeding shall be influenced there- hy." Ten years Imprisonment and a fino of not more than $5,000 is the maximum penalty for the crime, the commission and proor ot which also entails forfeiture of office, and disqualification from holding public office again. Alderman Dickinson furnished ball and guprl tor a wrt o( habeas corpus. He set tnat bribery was effected or Intended, no money or lis equivalent was to have pas8c(1 ln return for the vote. The appli- eatlon for a wrt wa refused by a Jus- tlce nt ueclal term In Manhattan, an(i the caso wns nnnea ed.

Justice Laughlln, ln writing tho Appellate Division's opinion, says that the question turns upon what ronstltutrs a bribe within the meaning of the act. He continues: In view of the circumstances disclosed, his ttllck ,0 bln nr MhPr nilvantiigo from or by curing Covltto's reln- statement In tin- inildie service, and that he took a-lVHiitliKo of the known ileplro on the pnrt of to improperly iniluenoe action of the mreet eomminKioner on the apiill- cation of I'ovlno for reinstatement bv offerln In wer'' to vote for nnd further the nlxrv lieneflt from their ollM.il ncla. or enter Into nnricaillR vv lit, Ith other for the clvtnir'iir wlthhoidlnir of their votea. conditioned UMHI thete receiving nttl-' valn- nhle favor, political or otherwise, for themselves or for others.

THE TRACKS MAY BE ELEVATED, Long Island Railroad Favors the Plan. Depressed Tracks Out of Question, Says Redtleld.

A number of property owners In the Thirty-second Ward, contiguous to the line ot the Manhattan Beach division of the Long Ieland Railroad, have only recently awakened to the fact that the act passed by the last Legislature regarding the changing ot rail road grade crossings permltB of the elevation ot the tracks of the Manhattan Beach line throughout the ward. When the change In grade was first discussed. It waa understood that the entire route of the Manhattan Beach line from Bay Ridge to East New York would have to be depressed. The question of a depressed road was agreeable to the people of property Interests In the ward. They felt little concern over tbe change and viewed with equanimity the ef forts ot tbe FlatbuBh residents to prevent tbe construction of an embankment line over the route of the Brighton Beach road.

The fact that the soli excavated from the depression tor the Manhattan Beach line would, as stated, be used ln elevating the Brighton tracks, is nai.l to have caused net little amusement among the procerty owners of the Thirty-second Ward. When it waB learned that the grade cross ing act only provided for an open cut from Bay Ridge to a point half way between Ocean and Flatbush avenues, and that tbe railroad company, if it saw fit, could elevated Its tracks from that point to within 1,800 feet ot the New Lots road by means of an em bankment or viaduct, those property ownet'B who believed that anything but a depressed road would prove detrimental to their hold ings took alarm. Although the railroad company baa not ns yet, It Is said, hubmitted any plans to tho grade crossing commission bb to what lta (n tentions are regarding the alteration of the route of the Manhattan Beach line through the Thirty-second Ward, It Is known that tha plan of an embankment is favored. The grade of Klatbush avenue, for a con siderable distance either side of the Manhattan Beach crossing, would have to be lowered from three to seven feet to permit the railroad crossing the thoroughfare without increasing the grade of Its tracks to a trouble some steepness. A petition to Public Works Commissioner Redtleld protesting agalnat any change in the grade ot tbe avenue la being circulated.

Public Works Commissioner Redtleld was asked this morning whether the consent of th borough authorities would be given to tne project of building an embankment for the Manhattan Beach line of the Long Island Railroad through this section. He said that as a general proposition the officials are In favor of depressing the tracks wherever they can be depressed. It is possible, be said, that the tracks cannot be depressed through a largo part of the section designated, as the land is low and swampy. The Facrdegat Basin projects Itself Into the very center of this section so that, at least, for a long distance depressed tracks are entirely out of the question. The question of an embankment along tbe line of the railroad Is now regarded Indif ferently by some of tho real estate men In the vicinity.

They aald, when aoen to-day. that the embankment was Inevitable aud that it waa now loo late to oppose it effectively. Vnllke the territory through which Brighton Beach road runt, the section abutting on tho Manhattan Heach road la but thinly settled, nnd la not restricted. Fac tories, coal, lumber and Ice plants are located along the line, with but very few houses. The Manhattan Beach road, bealde, lb not pntronlzed by buslnes men nnd workers In Manhattnn, as Is the Brighton line, and In winter rarrlea acarcely any paa-aengera.

A representative of one of the blggeat rially concerns, which was Instrumental In building up the lower Flatbush and Thlrty-aecnnd Ward sections, snld to-day: don care much about an embank ment along the Manhattan Beach line; we wnnt to prolect our restricted property near the line of the Brighton Beach road by having that line depressed, and 1 guess It wlil bo." The proptriy owners of the Vanderveer Park and other sections, who are opposed to tho embanking nf the Manhattan Beach line, (car the establishment of a four-track ircdtShl llr.e and the extension of tho factory district by the const run Ion of apura from tne main line. They believe that euch 1 change will depreciate the value of proper ty mid tiltlinntcly transform the adjacent section from a residential Into a manufiic Hiring district.

The remains of Robert B. Catherwood, who died at his home, 88 Decatur street, Wednesday evening last, In his 84th year, left New York this morning for St. Louis, In charge his grandson, Alex. C. McAllster, and other relatives.

Tho remains will be Interred In St. Louis Monday. Funeral Bervlces were conducted at the house yesterday afternoon the Rev. Dr. Skinner, curate ot the Church tho Epiphany, of which the deceased was member.

Mr. Catherwood was for nearly a half century a contractor and the public works and buildings which he has constructed during tho many years he has lived ln this communi would aggregate many millions in value. Ho was born in St. Louis a little more than a decade after the vast Trai smississlppl territory was purchased by the United States Napoleon. He was a prominent business man in what was then called the West, when he moved to New York in 1858, and became a contractor and builder.

Among the many important undertakings with which ho wbb connected waa the construction of the DeKalb Avonue Railroad, which ho operated alone for two years, It afterward passing into the hands of a com pany. He laid eighteen miles- of sewers In Brooklyn in the 60s and buill the Paterson and Newark Railroad, an Important feeder ot tho Erie system, now owned by that system. On behalf of a syndicate ln New York he purchased the Dlx Island granite quarry, on tho const of Maine, from which granite wns taken for building the masonry of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Treasury Building, in Washington, and the New York and Philadelphia post offices. Ho had also been an extensive mining operator, building all the works of the Pnlmetto Syndicate, In Esmer-aldo County, Nevada. A short time after the close of' the war.

President Grant appointed Mr. Catherwood Sub-Treasurer In New York, but he could not content himself with merely routine duty and resigned to continue his business as contractor. Ho was a bold financier and took contracts for work footing up millions as quickly an a $1,000 contract, He did a great deal of work ln other sections ot the country. The street railway system of Indianapolis was constructed by him. He was a prominent member of the Episcopal Church and has been a liheral contributor to charity.

His only child, a married daughter, died last year ln Brooklyn. WEATHER FORECAST. Indications Till 8 P. M. To-morrow.

Giuseppi Cirringione and His Captors. THREE THREATENING LETTERS. Unknown Persons Declared They Would Kill Father Cirringione Unless He Paid $3,000. The Rev. Giuseppi Clrringionc, pastor of the Roman Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception, on First street, bridge, has been missing from his home, ad-Joining the church, since last evening, and Is believed to have been kidnapped.

Nearly all of the residents of Wlliiamsbrldge and the reserves of the Wakefield police station, headed by Captain Foody, spent the entire night searching tho vicinity for the priest, and the search was continued to-day; but up to 2:30 o'clock this afternoon their search bad been in vuin. The priest Is' believed to have been kidnapped by Italians who have been writing biin threatening letters tor some time. Tho letters first began to reach the priest several weeks ago and demanded J3.000. They were turned over to Captain Foody and the latter set his detectives at work. Last evening at 8 o'clock two men, who claimed to be police officers, called at the church rectory and told Father Cirrlnglone that Captain Foody wanted to see him.

He left the house with the men and has not been seen since. A few hours later, when Father Cirrlnglone bad not returned to the house, Father Anthony and another priest, curates attached to the church, and Joseph l'cnn, the sexton of the church, went to the Wakeliold police station and made inquiries for Father Cirrlnglone. They told Captain Foody of the two men calling at the rectory, but Captain Foody said that hp had not sent for tho rprlest. Then a general alarm was sent out forthe clergyman. Tbe family ot the priest, which lives ot 300 West Seventeenth street, was then communicated with, but said he bad not been there since Thursday night.

Father Clrrlglone Is 33 years old and weighs about HO pounds. He came to this country from Palermo about seven years ago and was followed two and a half years ago by his father, mother and Ave sisters. His father Is a retired merchant. About a year ago the, Italians residing III YVIflliimsbrldgc asked that a chut eh he organized among them, and Father Cirrlnglone was sent there. He succeeded In his undertaking and on October 21 of this year Archbishop Farley, assisted by numerous prelates, laid the corner stone of what is supposed to be the most beautiful church edltlcc above the Harlem Hlver.

There v. as a large parade, and after tho church service! a banquet, which was attended by all the priests who had assisted in the laying of the. comer atone. The threatening letters began lo reach Father Cirrlnglone two days later and were Immediately turned over to Captain Foody. The first letter read In part: 'We are nine working men with nine fiim-tlli-s to support.

We are out of work ami our families are starving. You are a priest with no family and are young uud pros-Dorous." The letter then went on to tell the priest io walk to Bronx Park, which Is three miles away, "and at the end of three miles you will meet a masked mnn, to whom you will give If you do not do so we will kidnap you and you know tho The letter was signed with tho Initials H. 1' was poorly written, hut the word were spelled correctly. The priest was given until (ho following Saturday to pay the money. Father Cirrlnglone ronsulled wllh his rurulea and advisers In the church and then fcsvrt tho letter to Captain Foody, who set bis men at work.

Father Cirrlnglone continued to work among his people, going In and out of their homes, and not innklug any reference to them of the letter he had received. On October which was the Tuesday following the Saturday Father Cirrlnglono re. eclvrd another letter, apparently from the nunc persons that had written the first letter. This letter said. "We have waited for you to hand over that money.

You disappointed us. We will give jou another trial. We must have that money by F.H unlay at 2 o'clock or we will kill you on the spot." The letier was signed as the previous one had been, with the Inl'tnls H. and bad evidently been written by two or threr persons, each of whom endeavored to disguise Ma or her handwriting. Tills letter was aim turned over to Captain Koody and the priest continued at hli work.

Iat Monday a third letter was received. Tills ramc by special delivery and said In part: "Now we are mad and wo will kill you unless you pay t.l.ouo before 2 o'clock Friday." Father Clrrlnlon handed this letter, as (lid the previous ones, in Captain Foody, whose detectives were mill at work trying to locals the writer. At about 1 o'clock last night, while Father Cirrlnglone with his two ruraies and Sexton I'rnn were playing an Itnltan game, the door bell rang and was answered by a "errant. Two men wern on the sloop. They told the servant that Father Cirrlnglone was wanted at the police Ion by Captain Koody.

that a man had been arrested and that th" raptaln wanted In see the priest annul him. Father Cirrlnglone Immediately the bouse with, the two men, who hud told the servant they were police nnVora. That was the last time he waa seen by any of his friends.
