Mystery. BallBton, N. September 1 The mystery surrounding the murder of James Munckton, a farmer, at Crescent, has been cleared up by a confession from his wife, who admits she killed her husbaud. Wednesday morning when Munckton, who slept alone, was awakened, the bed clothing was on fire and he had been shot in the abdomen. He was removed to the Cohoes Hospital and died later.

Munckton had no Idea who shot him and the authorities were without a clew. Detectives to-day questioned the woman and she broke down and confessed. Mrs. Munckton says that at 3:30 A.M. Wednesday she took her husband's shotgun and going to his room placed it against his body and fired.

She then extracted the shell and hid the gun in a cl06et. She returned to bed and was found apparently asleep by neighbors. The Muncktons had frequently quarreled and the woman claims she was driven to the act. Mrs. Munckton was brought to Jail today.

"ANTI-TIP" LAW IN FORCE. Fine and Imprisonment Now for "Cor rupt Influencing of Agents, Employes or Servants." The "anti-tip" law went Into effect to-day and while residents of New York City may still tip barbers, waiters, cabmen, chambermaids, bell boys and all the rest of the long string of servants one meets In dally life, the tipping must be done so that it does not promote the "corrupt influencing of agents, employes or servants." Acting District Attorney unariea u. non. said concerning the new law: "In my opinion the bill is not aimed In any way at waiters. It alms to stop tne gran ot pur chasing agents, big and little." The new statute Is Section 384 of the penal code, ut-fenses under it are punishable by a fine of from $10 to $500 and imprisonment for not more than a year.

SCHWARZE EXPLAINS. Tells Why a House In Midwood, Entered by Burglars, Is Not Watched Regularly.

Frederick Schwarze, a special officer doing duty as night watchman in the South Mid-wood section of the Twenty-ninth Ward, taking exception to the general statements In the communication to the Eagle of Wednesday. August 30, headed, "Night Watchmen Who Do Not Watch," said to an Eagle reporter to-day: "I am employed by about fifty householders In the South Midwood district at a dollar a month each to watch their houses from about 9:30 P.M. to 6 A.M. nightly. In only one Instance do I get more than that, and It is for property on which there is a stable as well as a residence.

The owner voluntarily gives me an extra dollar for the extra buim-ink. The burglary spoken of In the communication took place before the hours of duty of the special officers and that is the reason none responded to the call for 'assistance. Aside from this fact the house was one we were not bound to watch, as the owner did not pay for protection. "Of course, if we saw anything suspicious going on around we would keep a watch on general principles, but we can't be expected tn euard the houses of those who do not pay for it. We look over every house we have In charge, as soon as the folks have gone to bed to find if there are any open doors, and I found four such on Avenue a the otner night.

I roused the occupants and had tne houses Dronerlv closed. "A year ago I made several arrests, which were reported in the Eagle. William Schneidcrmuller. who has the post adjoining me has about the same number of houses to take caro of and haa had no complaints per sonally from the householders. That we ob tain refreshments sometimes from the peo-ole for whom we work I do not deny, but 1 do not drink liquor or do anything to disgrace me or make me neglect, my work.

I don't know the motive that party bad for writing the letter except that It was to get the place for some one else. NO PAY FOR CORONER'S CLERKS McNeill and Phillips Not Entitled to Money From the City Treasury. The contention that each of the two Coroners In Brooklyn, is entitled to a clerk which was upheld by Justice Maddox, at special term of the Supreme Court, has been overruled by the Appellate Division. The opinion of the higher court 1b written by Jttstlco Woodward. As a donsequence, Hector McNeill and Charles A.

Phillips, clerks to Coroners Will lama and Flaherty, respectively, find them-' solves without official occupation. They were appointed under a somewhat obscure section of the city charter, which apparent ly authorized the Brooklyn Coroners to ap point a clerk. Acting on thlB authoriza tion, they were appointed. Justice Mad dox, before whom the case came on a writ o' mandamus to compel the Board of Est! mate to pay McNeill and Phillips their sal arles, held that the Incumbents were legal ly In office and entitled to be paid. Justice Woodward wholly overrules the decision of the lower court and holds that the two Coroners were no more entitled to appoint two clerks than they were to put two stenographers In omce.

CARRIED GUN TO DEFEND SELF. Mrs. Lottie Smith, 32 years old, of 140 Midwood street, was aralgned before Magistrate Steers, In the Flatbush court, this morning, on a double charge of Intoxication and of carrying concealed weapons without a license. Mrs. Smith admlttod having had a pistol In her possession and said she carried It to protect herself when passing through Flatbush streets where holdups oc caHioually occur.

She was arrested at the corner of Grand avenue and Bergen street for Intoxication, and when searched In the Grand avenue station the loaded revolver was found In her hand bag. Judze Steers suspended' sentence on both charges.

Little John Figario Had a Narrow Escape From Death When Run Over by a Big Van. That John Flgarlo, an Italian boy of 14 years, was not killed outright when two wheels of a two thousand pound furniture van passed over his neck could not be ex plained by Dr. Devanney, of St. Vincent's Hospital, Manhattan, who examined the lad at police headquarters fifteen minutes after the accident occurred. Flgarlo, who lives at 256 Elizabeth 8tret, Manhattan, was riding south on his bicycle, on Mulberry Btreet, this morning, while the van, driven by Charles Slass, of 160 East Broadway, was going in the opposite direc tion.

When the boy on his bicvele reached a place directly opposite the entrance to police neaaquarters he began to wabblo, and almost instantly fell with his bicycle, under the front wheel of the truck, which passed over tne iao neca. mass tried to stop his horses, but before he could do bo the rear wheel also ran over Flgario'a neck. Several men who were standing In front of police headquarters at the time rushed with several others Into the roadway, ex pecting to find the boy's life crushed out. Instead they were surprised to find Figarlo very mucn anve. tie was assisted to his feet and the first word he said was concerning his bicycle.

When Dr. Devanney arrived from St. Vin cent's Hospital and learned the details of the accident be said he was very much surprised to find th3 boy alive. The physician, however, examined the lad and found, in addition to slight scratches on Figarlo's neck that a tendon of one of hiB wrtsta had be come twisted and was swollen. Flgarlo was taken to the hospital.

Slass was arrested but later discharged in court, as it waa shown that he was not responsible' for the accident. FOR TORPID LIVER Take Homford'a Acid Phosphate.

few TO Germans Who Want to Enter the Fusion Conference Must Have a Hungarian O. K. LOOKS BLACK FOR WEISSMANN. Unless Tokaji Relents a Whole Lot of Prominent Germans Will Be Out in the Cold. Unless Bela Tokajl Is of a forgiving nature the German-American Municipal League can have no part in the councils of Fusion.

Bela is not a German, yet be hes it in his power to shut out the German organisation, which Henry Welsmann, president of the German-American League, says has a following of 10,000 voters. Incidentally President Wels-mann claims that Tokajl's own organization, the German-American League without the Municipal, if you please has no memhershlp outside ot Tokajl and a few misguided friends. But it matters not to Bela what Welsmann says. Bela holds the whip hand. Bela may not be a German, but he is president ot the German-American League, and as the head of that body he is one of the committee of five to invite other organizations to join the Fusion movement.

It was decided at the Fuslom conference last night that no organization should be invited to take part in the Fusion campaign, except with the unanimous consent ot the committee of five. This means that the Gorman-American Municipal League will he shut out in the cold and, maybe, forced to vote with Tammany Hall, unless Tokajl displays some of the magnanimous spirit ot Japan and permits an invitation to go out to Welsmann and his German braves. Many ot the prominent Germans of Brooklyn are indignant over the treatment of the German-American Municipal League, which was Ignored, while Tokajl's party was wel comed with open President Welsmann expected that his organization would be invited to take part in the first Fusion conference, and he had arranged for a conference committee consisting of Henry Batter-man, Nathaniel H. Levi, Former Judge Jacob Neu, Henry C. Deck, George U.

Miller, Charles Vogt. William Llbermann, Former Judge Charles Naeher and himself. This committee was to respond to the expected invitation from, the Ruslon leaders. Imagine the consternation of the Germans when they found that Tokajl was to take part, and they were to be left out. Tokajl is no German," the Welsmann asserted.

"He Is a Hungarian, and haBno right to jmsjjisjajQerman. He has no organization." Then came counter charges from the To kajl people. It was established that Tokajl had at least one follower Former county Clerk Hartzhelm. Then this was denied with the statement that Hartzhelm wasn't a follower, but was one of the two big men In Tokajl's organization. Tokajl's friends said Welsmann's claim of 10,000 members was ridiculous.

They estimated the Welsmann following at 9 votes. The Welsmann people retorted by cutting down. Tokajl's organization to six voters. Tokaji and Hartzhelm went over last night and took a prominent part in the Fusion conference. It was Mr.

Hartzhelm who sug gested that municipal ownership be made the main plank of the Fusion platform. At the close of the committee of five waa appointed to arrange for a broader conference next Thursday night. Tokajl may relent and let Welsmann in. Certain it is that R. Fulton Cutting will not let in the Greater New York Democracy.

The requirement of unanimity in all invitations was made a feature of the committee so that any one of the five committeemen could shut out a rival organization. Mr. Tokajl could not be found to-day. He Is a dressmaker In Manhattan and lives In the Seventh Assembly District, Brooklyn. He used to be executive member from that dis trict In the eWlsmann organization, but withdrew and started his own party.

The WelBmann people say they can prove that Tokajl has no organization outside of the Seventh and Eighteenth distrlots, whereas, the German-American Municipal League has a complete organization all over the borough. Undoubtedly Mr. Welsmann Is hacked by many of the wealthiest and most prominent Germans in Brooklyn. He wrote a letter yesterday to the Kings County Republican organization, protesting bitterly agalnBt the action of the FuslonlBts in training with Tokajl, while ignoring representative Germans. Mr.

Welsmann announced to-day that the executive committee of his organization would meet Tuesday night to consider the affront to their body. He Bald they were deeply offended at the attitude of the Fusion leaders. Mr. Welsmann had already said that he thought It possible his organization might bolt the Fusion ticket. He says he wants no nomination for his organization.

Tokajl Is not so disinterested when It comes to a division of the spoils. He went down to Washington not long ago and tried to get President Roosevelt to turn over Naval Officer Sharkey's Job. When the President said he thought of letting Sharkey serve another year, anyway, Tokajl eald all right, he would take some other Job. Tokaji was at Republican headquarters in Manhattan this morning for a short time. R.

R. EXPERIMENTAL FARM, It 13 Expected to Prove That Scrub Oak Lands Are Best in State. An agricultural experiment of the greatest Interest to hungry New York Is about to be undertaken by the Long Island Railroad, which has purchased 17 acres of land near the Wading River station, which It proposes to develop In the line of Intensive farming, with a vlow to ascertaining to what degree the unimproved land on the Island can be made productive and give returns to agri cultural effort. The land chosen for the ex perimental farm Is at present thickly overgrown with scrub oak and pitch pine, and Is typical of thousands ot acres on the Island which have never been cultivated. It will be cleared and fenced, and a well will be drivon in tt.

President Ralph Poters hopes by the experiment to demonstrate that the great uncultivated tractB on the Island can easily be made Into paying farms, and thus to open to tho city a broad farming and market gardening district at its very doors. According to the reports of the govern ment Department of Agriculture, the climate of Long Island Is better suited to agrlcul tural pursuits than that of tho remainder of the Btate. In the northeastern portion of the Island the soil has been found at once so light and rich, and responds so readily to agricultural effort, that a net profit to the farmer of $300 an acre has not been unusual. The vast acreage In the center of the Island has, however, never been oloared for farming. Special Agent Fullorton of the Long Island Railroad will have charge of the expert mental farm.

An accurate account will be kept of all expenses and the results In pro ductlon. MUTUAL AID SOCIETY. (Special to the Eagle.)

Justice Davis Decided the Case Against Mr. Rossiter in a Severely Worded Opinion. Alexander Potter and William B. Tuteur have begun proceedings to secure the arrest and imprisonment of Clinton L. Rossiter, of the Long Island Trust Company, if Mr.

Rossiter does not make immediate payment 0' a Judgment in their favor. Rossiter's counsel, Henry W. Goodrich, of 40 Wall street, has secured a stay In an order obtained by Potter and Tuteur compelling the payment of the Judgment. The case will be argued next Wednesday. "Rossiter must either go to Jail, or pay us what he owes," declared J.

M. Ferguson today at lils office, 11 Pine street. Mr. Ferguson is of counsel for Potter and Tuteur. and is interested with them in certain concessions in Mexico, out of which grew "the litigation that gave Mr.

Rossiter an unenviable position in an opinion handed down by Justice Vernon M. Davis. Rossiter wag ordered to pay Potter the sum of J15.000 in cash. $25,000 in stocks and In bonds of the Toluca Electric Light and Power Company. The money has not been paid and the stocks and bonds arc still In the hands of Rossiter, or some person other than the plaintiffs.

Now Mr. Potter wants to enforce payment, or put the Brooklyn financier in jail for contempt of court. Mr. Rossiter is out of the city and will not be back until Tuesday. It is understood be Intends to fight the case to a finish in the higher courts.

After Rossiter retired from the presidency of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit four years ago he became interested in a concession from the Mexican government granting to Potter and Tuteur the exclusive right to all the power of San Slmonita Falls. On April 24, 1901, Rossiter went to Mexico and entered into negotiations with Tuteur and Mrs. Potter for the purchase of the concession. Rossiter signed an agreement, under which Potter and Tuteur agreed to assign to Rossiter the concession to develop it as a light and power plant and to turn over to Rossiter contracts for lighting and motive power, amounting to a gross income per annum of $100,000 Mexican money. The contract further provided that Rossiter fhould pay Potter and Tuteur $1,000 in gold on the execution of the contract and $9,000 in gold upon the assignment to Rossiter of The" concession and lighting and power contracta.

There was further pro vision that Potter and Tuteur should receive $25,000 gold In preferred stock of a company to be formed by Rossiter to operate the proposed lighting and power plant and $25,000 in gold in bonds of said company. Finally the contract provided that Rossiter should pay Potter and Tuteur an additional sura of $15,000 In gold on the day In which the work of constructing the lighting and power plant was begun. The work of construction was to be under the sole charge of Potter and Tuteur, for which Rossiter promised to pay $150,000 in gold. Later on Rossiter claimed that Tuteur had promised to include the Graf concession with that of the San Simonita Falls. This claim was not made until there had been several months of disputes.

Justice Davis, in his opinion last March, commented upon the fact that Rossiter didn't mention the Graf claim until November, although the contract was made in April. The justice commented also upon the fact that no mention of the Graf concession was made in the original contract. Justice Davis directed that the Graf concession be elmlniated and that the contract stand as originally drafted. Justice Davis commented in caustic style upon the stumbling blocks put in the way of Potter Tuteur to prevent them carrying but their part of the contract. The justice had a few wordB to say about the surreptitious alliance between Rossiter and the resident engineer employed Potter Tuteur.

Thl3 engineer was discharged, as Justice Davis said, for "well proved treachery." The justice added that Rossiter and his representative in Mexico, a man named Wickes, had Instigated and approved the conduct of the engineer, and as soon as he was discharged they took him into their employ. The justice accused Rossiter of tad faith (n his action at this time. "It 1b no excuse for Rossiter to say that Wickes originated the plan to appropriate for Rossiter the profits of the contract of November 29 to the exclusion of Potter Tuteur," said Justice Davis. "The fact re mains that Wickes, who appears to be a ready and copious writer, made full and clear reports to Rossiter of his machinations against Potter Tuteur in this matter, and received from Rossiter his hearty commendation." The following letter from Wickes to Rossiter was quoted in the opinion: "Be gentle with Potter and have him wire to Tuteur to make assignment with me and when you hear from me that it is all tied up sail in and raise Ned with him. As It Is now he has rather the whip hand." Justice Davis took occasion to remark that it looked as If Rospitor adopted the treatment of Potter suggested by Wickes in that letter.

FORGOT HE BEAT HIS SISTER. There was a general mixup lost evening at the homo of Mrs. Minnie Hartman. 826 Park avenue. In which her daughter, Mrs.

L.tzzie Monger, and a son, John Behringer, of 836 Park avenue, took part. It was a family squabble, during which the eon, it is claimed. struck his sister, mulcting a severe scaip wound, which was dressed by an ambulance surgeon. The noise made by the women at tracted a policeman attached to the Vernon avenue Btation. who arrested Behringer, on a charge of intoxication.

This morning, when Behringer was arraigned before Mag-lstate Higginbotham in the Lee avenue court, Mrs. Monger was on hand to press a charge of assault against her brother, claim ing that he used his fists on her. Behringer was unable to remember the circumstances, but the magistrate refused to take this as an excuse and remanded him In default of $300 bail for a hearing. ACCUSES HIS RUNAWAY WIFE. Pesach Fogelgarten.

of this borough, is suing his wife, Chana Fogelgarten, for an absolute divorce, and Justice Barr this morning permitted him to serve his wife with the summons and complaint by publication, as he only knows in a general way that she Is now in St. Louis. He thinks she is living there with another man as her husband. The parties were married in London, England, November 15, 1901, and the plaintiff mentions oce Max Goodman as one of the co-reepond-erts. LAD HURT IN FALL FROM CAR.

Thomas Riordan, 11 years old, of 15 West Sixty-third street, while attempting to board a Flatbush avenue car at the corner of Nos-trand avenue last night was thrown to the ground with such force as to lead those who picked him up to believe his skull was fractured. An ambulance from the Kings County Hospital was called and after being attended by Surgeon Jochim the lad was removed to that institution, where it is said he is only suffering from shock and may be returned to his home to-day. JEFFERSON CLUB OUTING. (Special to the Eagle.) Jamaica, L. September 1 The Jefferson Democratic Club of Jamaica will hold its eighth annual outing at Dauer's Park and Casino, Jamaica avenue and Ward street, Richmond Hill, ou Saturday evening, September 2.

After Twenty Years in One Engine Company Old Fireman Is Transferred. East New York is indignant over the transfer of Fireman Thomas McNamara, who has been ordered to do duty at Rockaway Beach. McNamara, who is an old man. was for twenty years attached to the engine company whose house is at Cleveland street and Liberty avenue, and he was the pet of the neighborhood. Ho had been a fixture since the organization of the company.

His home iB at 211 Cleveland street, where he was able to be near his family. This morning there was a mixture of sorrow and Indignation over the transfer. One of the old man's friends, in telling of the hardship of getting only one meal a at home, said that several members of the same engine company were anxious to go to Rockaway, and had been using influence to get transferred. Fireman McNamara is known to the children around the engine house as "Grandpop Tom," and he is popular with the little ones because he was always willing to explain masters about the fire apparatus. When the veteran, who has been In the department for twenty-nine years, received his paper ordering him to the Beach he burst into tears and did not try to hide his feelings.

The transfer sends the old man to Hainmell's Station, where he will be a member of Engine Company No. 165. Some of the men in the department say the old man was sent far away from home to try and force him to retire on a pension, to which be Is entitled. DEAD TWINS FOUND IN MANHOLE Boys of Eighth Ward Find Two Cigar Boxes That Had Been Used as Coffins. While hunting for cigar boxeB with which to make Jack o- lanterns, a group of Eighth Ward youngsters this morning found the dead bodies of two children in a manhole near the corner of Ninth avenue and Fifty-third street.

The discovery caused most of the boys to take to their heels, but Walter Coakley and Jones Anderson were brave enough to carry the bodies to the police station at Fourth avenue and Forty-third street. The boys were searching In the vicinity of Ninth avenue and Fifty-third street, when one of them spied a couple of cigar boxes at the bottom of the uncovered manhole on Ninth avenue, about half way between Fifty-third and Fifty-second streets. Young Coakley, who is 12 years old and lives at 37 Fifty-third street, was lowered into the hole and he fished up the package. It consisted of two cigar boxes, wrapped with blue paper and tied with white cord. Coakley's happiness at his find was short lived.

When the boxes were opened and the bedies revealed consternation swept through the crowd, and most of them ran. At the suggestion of a man and woman who happened to be near when the discovery was made, Anderson and Coakley carried the find to the station house. The bodies were evidently those of twin children. Detectives Marks and Hotter, from the Forty-fourth precinct, have been detailed to make an investigation. COFFEY MEETS MC CARREN.

And They Have Breakfast Together, Which Fact Starts Gossip That Means Little. Senator P. H. McCarren and ex-Senator Michael J. Coffey had breakfast together at the Clarendon Hotel this morning.

The presence of the two at the same table set the political gcsslps guessing whether Mc Carren and Coffey, who had been at logger heads politically, although personally they are friendly, have adjusted their differences. Senator McCarren, however, declared that there was no political significance in the fact that he and Mr. Coffey had breakfasted to gether. Their meeting was purely accidental, said Senator McCarren, and no negotiations were opened looking to Mr. Coffey's return to the regular Democratic organization in Kings County.

Coffey is Just now trying to prevent Senator McCarren from securing control of the Ninth Assembly District, where ex-Senator James H. McCabe and Senator James J. Ke-hoe, the latter of whom formerly was with Coffey, have combined in Senator McCar-ren's behalf, for the purpose of electing McCabe to the Democratic Executive Committee. Mr. Coffey's political standing Just at present Is in somewhat grave doubt.

It Is not known exactly whether Coffey will take' part in the Fusion anti-Tammany conferences, but it is unlikely, It is said, that he will, heeause. if he did. he would eventually have tn sacrifice his friend Park Commissioner Michael .1. Kennedv. who was appointed through Coffey's influence.

TOMPKINS PARK THE SCENE. Files Turned on Fisher When He In-terfered and Even Showed Flsrht to an Officer. Defending a woman who had been attacked by her frenzied husband In Tompkins Park last night, Edward Fisher, 29 years old, a salesman, living at 683 Monroe street, was slashed twice In the left arm with a razor In the hands of Herbert Files, 22 years old, of 1122 Bedford avenue, who was arraigned in the Gates avenue court to-day and held by Magistrate Higginbotham without ball until Septembor 6 for examination. Mr. Fisher suffered other injuries at the hands of Files, but appeared In court to press the charge of assault upon which he was held.

Fisher, who is slight of build and of a retiring disposition, was on the way to the religious services held in a tent on Greene avenue, near Marcy, about 8:30 o'clook when he heard a woman Bcream: "Help! Murder! Help!" He saw a woman struggling on the grass with a stocklly built man, and, reminded of recent attacks made upon persons In various parks about the city, ran to the assistance of the woman. 'Shame on you. No man would attack a woman," shouted Fisher, as be reached the side of the pair. "Then I'll take It out of you," shouted Files, turning on Fisher. The salesman says the husband struck him in the eyes, breaking his eyeglasses and cutting his face, and then drew a razor with which he slashed him twice In the arm.

Patrolman Isaac Campfield, of the Gates ave nue station, who useB his ears and his eyes. was on the scene by this time, having run at top speed across the park. He told Files he was under arrest, which added to his anger, and he turned to give battle to the policeman, the two men and the woman, Mrs. Files, were taken to the station house, where Fisher's Injuries were found to -be serious. An ambulance was called and the wounds dressed by the surgeon.

Fisher, who came from Philadelphia, where he was employed by the Cramps Shipbuilding nrm. about a month ago, was accompanied to court to-day by Files' father-in-law, who said he would do what he could to have his son-in-law punished. He said also that Files had threatened to kill his daughter several times. The couple had been married about year, he said, and Files had acted times as thbughTienad mental trouble. files seemed mentally sound enough when arraigned to plead.

He said he had quar reled with his wife at Gates and Marcy avenues and that she had gone to the park, telling him to meet her there. His wife had gone there and had thrown stones at him. he said. He was defending himself when a gang set upon him. Fisher was one of the gang.

He had used the razor when cornered. Mr. Fisher said that ho gang had set upon Files at all; that he was surprised that no body had gone to the woman's assistance. as the seals all about the park were occupied and many persons were walking about. He was not a strong man, but he did not stop to think what the consequences might be when he went to Mrs.

Files aid. Files said he was a member of the Elev enth United States Cavalry and spent about two and a half yearB in the Philippines. It was not true that he had killed a man there. served a year in prison and was finally dishonorably discharged from the service, he said. It Was true that he had served a year's time, but It was because he had been found asleep at nis post.

Acting Captain Harrington has been keep ing a close watch over what has been going on in Tompkins Park. Like Saratoga Park, young rowdies for a time seemed to think the breathing place was made for their especial use. If they had a fight to pull off or a trick to play they retired to the park. Then they spent considerable time paying attention to young women and girls, and made it a point to insult them whenever opportunity offered. But Acting Captain Har rington made snort work ot mis son oi "sport." Nothing like the affair of last night has occurred before.
