FIRE IN LEFFERTS PARK. A fire that occurred in the two story and attic frame building occupied by George H. Wilch, at 1546 Seventy -fourth street, caused $1.000 damage last night. The cause of the blaze could not be learned, COAL MINE OPERATORS AGAINST ARBITRATION Conference with Mitchell's Com. mittee of Mine Workers Again Postponed.

WAITING FOR THE INDEPENDENTS Operators to Take the Stand To-morrow That They Will Arbitrate Only New Questions. The operators of anthracite coal mines have not all agreed on a stand to be taken against the mine workers, and, on account of this lack of unanimity, the operators requested this morning that the conference set for this afternoon be postponed until to-morrow afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. President Mitchell, on the part of the mine workers, agreed to the postponement. The explanation of the operators' request for postponement was that the big operators had not had time to confer with all the independent operators. There are several independents who do a business big enough to be taken into consideration by mine oWners who are looking for a strike.

The subcommittee of seven of the operators has been conferring with independents for several days, but it was said to-day that the committee had not been able to reach all the individual operators. They expect to have the sentiment of every independent by the time set for the conference of the joint committee of operators and mine workers to -morrow afternoon. The operators have decided to submit a proposition to the mine workers, decounter clining the proposal of arbitration as submitted by Mitchell's committee, but proposto arbitrate any new question that may these arisen coal since strike the arbitration commission by of the three anthracite years ago. It is expected that the operators position will be that the questions of difference between themselves and the min workers were all settled definitely and finally by the anthracite commission, but, while not admitting that question has come up since the award of that commission, they will be glad to submit to arbitration the question of whether or not there is anything to arbitrate, and, if it is decided by arbitration that there is new matter for discussion, then the operators will abide by the decision of a board of arbitration upon such new questions. is the present plan of the operators to propose that the old anthracite commission be named as the board of arbitration.

The mine workers have already planned to ask for an immediate adjournment of 770 or three days in case the counter proposition is made by the operators. This adjournment will be to give the full Shamokin committee time and opportunity to consider the operators proposition. tI is certain that the mine workers will oppose the proposition to arbitrate only new differences. Several members of the scale committee have come out flatfooted in favor of arbitrating questions that were decided by the anthracite commission. President W.

H. Dettrey of Hazleton, said to-day that there were many old grievances in need of readjustment. While the mine workers are opposed to the idea of having the anthracite coal strike commission again review the labor conditions in the mining regions, it is said that they will accept the commission on condition that the commission consider all questions, including those settled by the commission three years ago. MANY MINERS AT WORK. In the Pittsburg District but Few Men Are Idle--More Independents Sign Scale.

Pittsburg April 9-There was an almost general resumption of mining operations in the Pittsburg district to-day. Reports received by the minere officials and coal operators the miners were nearly all at lees than 5 per cent. indicate, that of the plants were idle. There was no disorder and the best of feeling prevails over the prospects of steady work, the result of an expected early resumption of lake chipments and the receipt of large contracts, which have heretofore been filled by Western operators. Among the independents eigning the scale to-day were the American Coal Blaine Company, Naomi Coal Company, Lynne Company.

Hazel Company, Coal Kirk Gas Coal Company, United Coal Company and Shoenberger Coal Company. The only large concern that has So far refused to sign is the Pittsburg and WestCoal Company, with a capacity of moreland million tons. This company has consida erable coal stored and as soon as this supply is exhausted, it is believed that the officials will agree to pay the advanced scale. Philadelphia, April 9-Reports received today from the anthracite coal region state that the beginning of the second week of the suspension of coal mining shows practically the same conditions as existed one week ago. All of the mines in the lower and middle disidle, while in the Lackawanna and tricts are Wyoming fields a few hundred men have returned to work.

There seems to be a disposition on the part of the miners to remain the mines pending the conference in from New York between the operators and President Mitchell. There has been very little violence in any part of the cold fields which would indicate that the miners are confident that there will be a satisfactory agreement. NO PROOF OF THEFT. Frank Flynn, 17 years old, of 83 Warren street, and John Smith, 18 years old, of 21 Tiffany place, who were arrested the other day charged stealing a horse and wagon belonging to Charles F. Combs, street.

fish dealer, from in front of 189 Baltic were discharged by Magistrate Tighe in the Butler street court tihs morning. The boys said they did not steal wagon and there was DO proof that they did. BASEBALL PLAYER HURT. While playing baseball with companions the corner of Troy and St. Mark's aveat nues yesterday afternoon, Salvator Sponteir, 37 years old.

of 1414 Bergen street, was struck on the head by a batted ball which he failed to catch and was knocked unconscious. Ambulance Surgeon Vosburg. of St. John's Hospital, was summoned and the man was removed to his home. ASSAULTED A NEGRESS.

In Part I of the County Court to-day, Judge Aspinall suspended sentence on Fannie Fitzgerald, a negress, of 104 Lawrence street, who was arraigned before him charged with assault in the second degree. She had been accused of assaulting Lucy Herbert, another negress, in a quarrel over the affections of a negro. The evidence was such that Judge Aspinall ordered the parties out of court. IN MEMORIAM. HOARE loving memory of MARY YALE.

beloved wife of Henry J. Hoare, who fell asleep on Palm Sunday, 1904. "Forget her? No, we never will; We loved her here and love her still; Nor love none the less Although she's gone from us to her eternal BURGLAR FACED PISTOLS. Brooklyn Man Accused of Robbing Manhattan Establishment, A burglar, who said his name was John R. Peach of 32 Forty -first street, Brooklyn, was captured Saturday night at Joseph Bestover's millinery establishment, at 565 Broadway, Manhattan, by August Heck, a "who member of the firm, and Frank Barkowski, held him up with guns until the arrival of the police.

For some time, past honor had noted the disappearance of hats the fourth floor, and Saturday night. decided to keep a watch. About 8 o'clock Heck and Barkowski, both armed and in hiding on the fourth floor, saw a man slip out of the elevator and make straight for the boxes. He was interrupted, and securely bound and handed over to the police. Peach was taken to the Jefferson Market police court and there held in $1,000 bail for trial.

IS IT ALL A BLUFF? Enmity Between Controller and Brooklyn Borough President Begins to Look That Way. Is it, after all, only a hollow mockerythis awful feud between Controller Metz and Borough President Coler? Do they, like actors in a play, merely thirst for each other's blood when the other is far away and the reporters are at hand? This is a question which has been brought to the front, for there is a whisper that these two officials might each be armed with a poisoned rapier and locked in a room for two hours without making business for the coroner. It is merely a dark, insinuating suspicion that comes from nowhere and vanishes into thin air, but it is said that when Controller Metz and President Coler meet in the evening at public gatherings, whoever gets through first waits for the other and they depart in the same carriage. An effort was made to get from the Controller a statement as to whether or not these stories are so, but Mr. Metzawas giving the Finance Department a taste of the absent treatment this morning and it was said that he "was not expected there before this afternoon.

It was pointed out this morning by an observing politician that the official office hours are only from 9 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon, and therefore that any butcheries taking place after that hour in the afternoon might prove to be a violation of rules of the typewriters union, which same was offered in explanation of the stories that the Controller and the Borough President have never operated on each other with meat cleavers after office hours. NOT EASY TO SEE MR. ELLISON. Water Commissioner's Office Door Does Not Swing Open to Reporters. Secretary Guards It.

It is considered quite an accomplishment in City Hall circles these days for a reporter to get in to see Water Commissioner William B. Ellison. It is such an exceedingly difficult matter that he who has not a few hours at his disposal must be content. with looking upon the person of David secretary to the commissioner. It is not a difficult matter to see Mayor McClellan at any time of the day, and as for Controller Metz, his office door is open and nobody is barred.

But there are certain ceremonies to be gone through before Mr. Ellison may be seen. For years back, and under commissioners of all political faiths, the newspaper men have had a standing engagement to see the commissioner at a stipulated hour. But things are different now. First of all, the name is taken by a clerk and Mr.

Ryan is informed that somebody awaits. All must come under the discerning observation of Mr. Ryan. There are certain lighting contracts for Brooklyn which Commissioner Ellison is supposed to be ready to award, and perhaps he is, but Mr. Ryan was engaged in conversation with a caller this morning, and after waiting a while for a glimmer of hope from the secretary, the reporters departedimpressed, but not enlightened.

PRAYER BEADS WERE STOLEN. Boys Said to Have Entered Church With Skeleton Keys. Charged with having stolen a number of rosaries, holy medals and other religious articles, Jacob Schneider, 17 years old. of 186 Seigel street, and Henry Capperona, 17 years old, 107 Varet street. were arraigned before Magistrate O'Reilly, in the Manhattan police court this morning.

It seems that during the past week there has been a mission in progress in the Italian Catholic Church, at 225 Seigel street. Joseph Graetzer had 9 stand for the sale of religious articles. The boys are alleged to have entered the place by means of false keys. The articles stolen are valued at about $48. The boys were held in $500 bail each.

GRIP PATIENT INSANE. Tried to Carve Up His Family and Kill Himself. After suffering for several weeks from the grip. John Saltus. 20 years old, of North Fifth street, became violently insane yesterday morning and attacked his family with a knife.

He was disarmed after a struggle, and then made several attempts to throw himself from the windows of his apartments on the third floor. The police were called in and with difficulty overpowered the maniac. He was removed to the Bedford avenue station in a patrol wagon and later was taken to the Kings County Hospital and placed in the observation ward. REPUBLICANS IN SESSION. Executive Committee Considers Big Party Problems.

The Republican executive committee met just before 3 o'clock this afternoon, with Chairman Brenner in the chair. Consideration of the reapportionment programme is the main purpose of the meeting, some attention will be paid to the reform committee recommendations and to direct nominations. and election district representation. FATHER HIS PROSECUTOR. Thomas McKenna, 32 years old, of 440 Degraw street, was charged before Me Magistrate Tighe in the Butler street court this morning with threatening to his father.

Young McKenna is said by his father to have too keen a love for liquor. Often he gets drunk, the father said, and abuses and sometimes threatens to kill him. Young McKenna begged for another chance to be good to-day. He was put under a bord of $100 to keep the peace. He did not furnish the bond, so he had to go to jail.

RECEIVER FOR MAHER'S FIRM. John Edwards Chatfield has been appointed receiver for the partnership property of Long, Johnson de Maher, proprietors of the Hotel Saranac, at Forty- street and Broadway, Manhattan, by Justice Newburger, of the Supreme Court, in a suit brought by Louis N. Long against Mr. Johnson and Danny Maher, the well known jockey, his partner, dissolve the partnership. The firm was formed on January 10.

The partnership is solvent. MAD DOG AT PROSPECT HILL. A mad dog caused great excitement yesterday afternoon on Prospect Hill, in the vicinity of Tenth avenue and Windsor place It ran among several children and tried to bite them. Patrolman Albert Morrison of the Fifth avenue precinct, heard their cries and came to their rescue. He shot the animal.

Its owner is unknown. UNCLE SAM'S CHECK LOST; GITY PUT IN QUEER FIX To Get Its $1,700 for Water It Had to Find a Bond for Double the Amount. THEN DUPLICATE WAS SENT. Proceeding Strictly Legal Which Called for Local Trust Company's Assistance. New York City going around seeking a bondsman who would qualify in $3,400 and agree to indemnify the United States government in case a check issued by the governby mischance paid twice, was the ment was spectacle witnessed by the extraordinary officials of the Department of Water, Electricity and Gas last week.

The difficulty the city and the government has between been adjusted, however, a local trust company coming to the aid of the municipality with the bond. The originated six months ago, necessary, when a check for $1,700 was sent by the authorities at the Navy Yard to Water Register William R. McGuire in payment for the year's supply of water for the yard. The check never reached its destination, a fair assumption being that it was stolen in transit by a person, who, from the stringent conditions as to identification which the govinsists on, was unable to get it ernment cashed. So far as known the cheek is not in existence now.

The government officials on being informed of the non-reception the check stopped payment, and began an investigation, which, as far as can be ascertained, was fruitless. The city made another demand for the payof the a water tax and started in on an ment inquiry as to the lost check on its own account. This inquiry was as unprofitable as that instituted by the United State authorities. When the folks at the Navy Yard received a polite intimation from the Water Department, to send another check along, the government authorities wrote back to the effect that they could not do so unless. bond for twenty years in the sum of a $3,400 was furnished.

This was about as. odd an official demand as has ever been put up to the Mayor, Aldermen and commonalty of the City of New York. Under, the extraordinary circumstances the assistance of Corporation Counsel Delany was called in. It is understood Mr. Delanv held that while the demand was somewhat unusual, it was legal, and must be complied with.

Ordinarily in bond transactions the city takes the bond instead of obligating itself. So a search was made for some person or corporation willing to undertake in double the amount involved that it the City of New York gets hold of the first check for $1,700 issued from the Navy Yard some months ago, and cashes ft, Uncle Sam will be repaid the money. The search was successful, and a trust company came to the city's rescue. FALLING BRICK KILLED HIM. Peculiar Accident Caused by a Pile Driver at Work at a South Street Dock in Manhattan.

While standing in front of 23 South street, Manhattan, this forenoon, Joseph Rapuzzi, 29 years old, a laborer, of 172 Worth street, was struck by a falling brick 'om the chimney of the house, and fatally injured. suffered a fractured skull and died an hour later in the Hudson street hospital. In the dock opposite the house lies an Erie Railroad pile-driver. One of the ropes to steady it in position is strung high across the street. and fastened to the chimney of No.

23. While Rapuzzi was standing on the sidewalk in front, the weight of the piledriver descended. The jar shook the guy rope and loosened several bricks in the chimney. They slid off the roof and fell upon Rapuzzi. One brick struck the back of his head.

Patrolman Leavitt of the Old Slip station picked Rapuzzi and called an ambulance from the hospital. Dr. Williams took him to the hospital. but he expired soon after being received there. PAINTER'S CURIOUS EXPERIENCE.

Louis Teitlebaum, 28 years old, a painter, met with a curious accident last night at his home, 131. Thatford avenue, Brownsville. With a lighted candle in one hand and several cans of oils and paints in the other, Teitlebaum was descending the cellar stairs when he stumbled and fell. The flame of the candle ignited the contents of the cans and the painter fell into the burning fluid. In response to a call sent into the Kings County Hospital Ambulance Surgeon Schloss attended the man, whose face and hands had received severe burns.

He was not removed. Meanwhile some one had sent in a still alarm, but the fire was put out before the engines arrived. SUICIDE'S ATTEMPT SUCCESSFUL. James Farrell. 23 years old, of Mill lane, near Kings highway.

Flatlands, who early last week drank a quantity of spirits of salt and jumped from a window in the second story of his home in an attempt to commit suicide, died late yesterday afternoon at the Kings County Hospital Farrell's suicide is attributed to despondency and alcoholism. His leap from the window caused severe shock, which. in his weakened condition, aided much in making his attempt successful. MRS. TEALE'S FUNERAL.

WANTS JOHN DWYER ELECTED Associate Superintendent, to Succeed the Late Dr. Marble-Mr.

Dwyer Got Up Dinner for McGowan. Some of the friends of Patrick F. McGowan, president of the Board of Aldermen, have been notified that he must keep his hands off of the election of an associate city superintendent in place the late Albert P. Marbie, by the Board Education. of Among the candidates for the position are John Dwyer, Straubenmuller, Dr.

Mathew J. Elgas some others. They are Gustave, district superintendents in Manhattan. As the Eagle stated recently the two candidates most favorably considered are Mr. Dwyer and Mr.

Sraubenmuller. Mr. Dwyer has been a district superintendent only a few years. In fact, he is the latest appointment in Manhattan, excepting Miss Richman. Those who know him well that he is in every way qualified for the say office.

Those who are opposed to his election do not underrate his qualifications. About a month ago a dinner was given in the Waldorf-Astoria, by the teachers of Manhattan, to Patrick F. McGowan, president of the Board of Aldermen, formerly a member of the Board of Education. At that dinner were Mayor McClellan and Controller Metz, Archbishop Farley and Mgr. Lavelle, City Superintendent Maxwell and President Finley of the City College.

About five hundred teachers were present, and John Dwyer was the toastmaster. He had organized the It was said at the time that Mr. banquet. Dwyer would be elected to the Board of Superintendents whenever a vacancy occurred. That vacancy exists.

Mr. McGowan is now working for Mr. Dwyer, on the principle, probably, that "one good turn deserves another." There are members of the Board of Education, 'however, who refuse to take instruetions from Mr. McGowan or Mayor McClellan. They are men, too, who supported Egerton L.

Winthrop, the mayor's brother -inlaw, and helped materially in his election. They will support the present administration SO long as there is no attempt by outside politicians interfering with them, or attempting to dictate the policy of the board. "After the members of the Board of Education have been appointed by the Mayor," said one of these men to-day, "there must be no attempt to influence their actions. Some of us strenuously object to the interference of Mr. McGowan in this election.

We are capable of attending to a our own business, without his counsel or. advice. He is electioneering for Mr. Dwyer. That is well known.

He must keep his hands off or there will be trouble." It is altogether a new thing for the Mayor or the President of the Board of Aldermen, the vice to interest himself in the election of a member of the Board of Superintendents. It has been said, in the course several "campaigns" for such positions, heretofore, that political backing was sought and exercised. None, however, has ever been so open as that of Mr. McGowan's support of Mr. Dwyer.

SAYS PASSENGER BIT HIM. Conductor on Lorimer Street Car Charges Rider With Attacking Him. Louis Reifler, aged 24, of 60 Throop avenue, is alleged to have caused a disturbance on a Lorimer street car this morning, and to have bitten the conductor, Robert Farrell, of 441 Herkimer street. Surgeon Parker, of St. Mary's Hospital, attended Farrell, who appeared the Gates avenue police court later, charging Reifler with assault.

Counsel of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company stated that Reifler had been abusive, and that passengers had requested that he be ejected from the car. He was held in $300 bail for examination on Thursday next, DENTAL PARLORS Dr. MacDougal Robbed of Instruments and Gold to Amount of $163. Dr. Allan S.

MacDougal, a dentist, of 456 Fifth avenue, reported to the police of the Forty-fourth precinct last night that his dental parlors. on the second floor, had been entered some time during Saturday night and a number of valuable instruments, gold for filling and teeth stolen, all valued at $163. Entrance wa's effected either by means of false keys or by means 'of the fire escape in the rear, the window being open. Detectives are at work on the case. ACTING MAYOR MC GOWAN.

If McClellan Stays Away Long Enough, He'll Have Some Real Power. It is Acting Mayor Patrick F. McGowan to-day, for Mayor McClellan is enjoying a little holiday. Mr. McGowan arrived early at the Mayor's office, and during the day he will probably sign a number of calcium light privileges with.

perhaps, a few bonds. He will have no real power unless the Mayor remains away for nine days" when the acting mayor may sign ordinances and resolutions. No appointments or removals can be made by him unless the Mayor remains away for thirty days. HOTEL GUEST A SUICIDE. A young man who seemed to be a Hungarian registered at the hotel kept by Max Wendt at 614 Court street Saturday night.

He was assigned to a room on one of the upper floors. Yesterday an employe went to his room and found him hanging from the bedpost dead with a rope around his neck. The man is supposed to have been Martin Weinmuller and to have come from Pennsylvania. A ticket for passage on a steamer to Hungary was found among his effects. The people at the hotel could advance no reason why the man should have killed himself.

It is not known where his relatives or friends can be found. R. G. PROCTOR SAYS NOT GUILTY. Boston, April 9-Robert G.

Proctor, private secretary to United States Senator Lodge, pleaded not guilty in the Suffolk County Superior Court to-day when arraigned upon an indictment charging larceny, returned against him by the Grand Jury of Suffolk County, on Saturday. The indictment alleges that Proctor failed to turn over to the Republican State Committee a contribution of $225, which he received from John G. Bestgen of Quincy, in 1904. The bondsmen qualified in $500 before the court, and Proctor was not detained. GROCER CHARGES ASSAULT.

Meyer Goldstein, a grocer, at 383 Saratoga avenue, was the complainant in the Gates avenue police court this morning against Fred Ganz, of 32 Lewis place, and Frank Smith, of 1128 Herkimer street. whom he charged with having entered his place yesterday morning and assaulted him. They were arrested and arraigned before Magistrate Furlong this morning and held in $300 bail each for examination on April 13. CONEY ISLAND SEASON AT HAND.

DANGERS OF BLINDFOLD CHESS. They Are Shown by the Sad Case of Harry Nelson Pillsbury, Now Insane. Harry Nelson Pillsbury, the greatest chess player since the days of Paul Morphy, is to be taken from the Battle Creek Sanitarium, where he is at present, to a sanitarium at Atlantic City, N. J. Pillsbury has for a long time been insane, becoming violent at times, through blindfold chess playing.

The fact became known through a letter from William Penn Shipley, of the Pennsylvania Chess Association, to a friend at the Brooklyn Chess Club. The game of blindfold chess requires intense concentration of the mind, and, according to the physicians who have been working on Pillsbury's case, ultimately destroys the memory cells of the brain, if carried on to excess. A player is placed in a room by himself and plays the game, entirely from while his opponent moves for him memory, at the table. One instance of Pillsbury's remarkable skill was shown when he played for thirteen hours, sitting all alone in the little antewhich leads into the main rooms of room the Brooklyn Chess Club. a He did not stop even to eat, and bore in mind twenty-four during that time.

Blackburn and games Morphy kept no more that fifteen games in their minds at once. Physicians state that the ability to play blindfold is a gift and cannot be acquired. While Pillsbury's case is considered prachopeless, every effort that can be tically brought to bear to bring the the former champion into the knowledge of world again will be made.

Arnold is alleged to have taken the poison with the intention of killing herself.

Arnold was removed to the Bushwick Hospital, in the custody of Patrolman William Wagner. She will recover. At midnight Charles Arnold appeared at the station house and demanded his wife, who, he said, the police were harboring. Sergeant Louis Sharkey informed Arnold that his wife had been removed to the Bushwick Hospital. This did not satisfy Arnold, and he stated that he was going to get her out of the police station or "clean out the place." Then he was taken into custody, and arraigned before Magistrate Furlong in the Gates avenue police court this morning.
