Cary. Mary widow of Clark W. Cary, died at her home, 225 Park place, Monday, aged 79 years. Her death was due to spinal trouble, of which she had been ill a long HANDED GIRL 5100 BILL; SHE PUT IT IN HER SHOE. "Now Get It Back if You Can," Said Garfield Place Girl, Hostess to Schwarz.

BUT HE DIDN'T TRY JUST THEN. He Left the Party, Came Back, Didn't Get Cash, and Had Maria Arrested at 2 A.M. It is on record that "Hans Breitmann had gift a party." And so had a young Garfield place girl, and, judging from the way in which she looked to-day, she probably wished she had not. While the party was in progress last night a Berkeley place young man called with ten other young men and foolishly displayed seven $100 bills as an indication of how well fixed he was in this world's goods. He gave one in fun, it is said, to the hostess, and she in the same sa gentle humor put it in her shoe and said: "Now, let's see you get it back." This is, in brief, the reason why Miss Maria Sagendorf, 20 years old, of 66 Garfield place, a good looking girl, appeared as a defendant before Magistrate Naumer in the Myrtle avenue court to-day, on charge of grand larceny, made by Fred Schwarz, 25 years old, a publisher by occupation, living at 112 Berkeley place.

The story told by Mr. Schwarz was something out of the usual line. Miss Sagendorf wore an anxious look as she stood in front of the bar with Mrs. Letitia Taylor, the probationary officer, and listened to the detaiis. Young Mr.

Schwarz said that he was elltertained at a party which was given last night at the home of the defendant, who lives with her parents at the address given. There were two or three other young girls present and ten young men accompanied him to the house. They reached there 10 o'clock and spent the time pleasantly, according to Mr. Schwarz, but for the unfortunate incident that followed. In the course of the evening he pulled out from one of his pockets $700 in bills, and, according to the best accounts they were of the fresh, crisp, "spend me if you like" variety.

It may be remarked parenthetically that it is not a customary thing to flourish hundred dollar bills in the presence of either hostess or friends and that the practice is regarded as a reprehensible one, especially in that part of Garfleld place, where the festivities were going on. Some authorities on the subject have even gone so far as to say that it was not in good form. But, no matter how that may be, Mr. Schwarz gave, it is alleged, one of the one hundred dollar bills to Miss Maria Sagendorf in jest. According to his statement of the passing of the bill, he gave it to the young girl, not "to have and to hold" for ever and ever.

She took the bill and stuck it in one of her shoes and according to the same authority made the remark: "Now let's see you get it Mr. Schwarz, thinking that it was all a joke, left with his ten young men friends. He returned later under the impression that Miss Sagendorf would give back the bill. In the meantime, it is said that the young woman went out to a restaurant with the young man, to whom it is reported she is engaged to. be married and spent $22.

When Mr. Schwarz asked for his money, he said she refused to give it back. Then he caused her arrest through Patrolman Phillip Hoerter of the Bergen street precinct. This was shortly before 2 o'clock this morning. 102 The police said that she admitted at the station house having spent some of the money, and that she offered to return the $78 left if the matter were allowed to drop.

She was told that this was impossible, because a charge of grand larceny had been made against her, and that a settlement would be under the circumstances in the nature of compounding a felony. When the case was called to-day in the Myrtle avenue court the defendant declared that she had only taken the money in jest and seemed much distressed at the way in which matters had turned out. Magistrate Naumer, however, held her in $500 bail for the Grand Jury. friends say that it was only a case of fooling with an unlucky ending. NO SYMPATHY FOR THE B.

R. T. Huge Monolith Blocked Montague Street Three Hours, but Crowds Only Jeered Railroad Men. Thomas McLarnon, a contractor of Manhattan, who is hauling the big stone pillars for the new building in course of construetion at 183 Montague street, outflanked the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company in an effort to stop the delivery of one of the 1 pillars until nightfall yesterday afternoon. Each of the monoliths woighs twenty-two tons, and they are drawn to the front of the new building on huge trucks hauled by fourteen horses.

When one of the stones gets to the building there is trouble for traffic and the cars on Montague street, running to the Wall street ferry, are stopped. Late yesterday afternoon the railroad company had the street 80 blocked that the truck with the load could not get safely through for a while. A crowd gathered when the public noticed that the railroad people had stalled some of its cars on the line of the truck's passage, but there was little sympathy, as usual, for the railroad corporation. It is not the habit of a Brooklyn crowd, apparently, sympathize with the Rapid Transit. The driver of the fLirteen horses off his teams and left the truck standing for a while near one of the stalled cars.

And then some of the officials of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit harangued the crowd and intimated that the contractor was interfering with public traffic. Transit "Who ever heard of the Brooklyn Rapid looking out for public welfare?" asked one man in the throng, and then there was applause and cat-calls. Pretty soon the truckmen hitched up their horses again and by dodging skillfully in and grapevined their way to the out building where the monolith was to be delivered. And there the truck stopped, blocking traffic on the cars, for both tracks for three hours. The railroad involved, were pealed to the traffic squad, but the people apwas helpless and powerless squad two when a twentyton shaft of stone was involved.

The cars were shut out of hours business for three and many people were forced from the to walk ferry up the steep Montague street hill. But the people who in their were not affected discomfiture gloried over the quite convenience Transit. apparent of the Brooklyn Rapid SHOOTING AT SEA GIRT. Change in Programme of the Team Contest.

O' Connor's Analysis of Vital Organs Disproves Theory of a Murder. THE MAN SAYS "I TOLD YOU SO." Body Was Disinterred by Authortiies, but This Was Only Precaution-Mr. Clarke's View 0. K. District Attorney Clarke, who has been very conservative in his statements regarding the theory that Frederick E.

Carlton, now in Raymond street jail, on a charge of larceny, poisoned his last wife, Mary Gorman Carlton, 'and perhaps another one, too, this morning received from Dr. C. P. O'Connor the result of an investigation of the organs of the body of the woman. The report 16 entirely negative, Dr.

O'Connor stating that no poison, save morphia, and that in small quantity, was found. Mr. Clarke says that the report completely explodes the theory that Mrs. Carlton was murdered. She died from tetanus, he says, the report indicating that tetanus was contracted from the scratch of a cat.

Dr. O'Connor's report is a long and extremely technical one, in that it shows just what was done with the organs of the dead woman the expert chemist of the Board of Health, to prove or disprove the murder theory. The report first tells how the body was disinterred and what was done with it. The body, he says, was first put into a receiving vault at the new Calvary Cemetery on July 17. There were present Dr.

E. J. Carroll, the coroner's physician, and Drs H. E. Pifug and Charles Wuest.

The body wag inclosed in a casket, which was in a large wooden box. On the casket was a plate which read as follows: "Mary Gorman Carlton, Died March 10, 1905. Aged 29 Years." The physicians removed the stomach, spleen, liver, right and left kidney and heart, and sealed them up in jars. Dr. Connor states that he first made an examination 'or the hospital record to find out what course of medication had been taken in the dead woman's case.

The body had then been fully identified by Henry McCaddin, who prepared it for burial and who stated that no embalming fluid had been used. The Long Island College Hospital record of the case is given in full in the report. In brief it states that Mrs. Carlton was admitted on March 8 last as an ambulance case, with locked jaws and convulsions. The history so far as could be learned, was that the woman had been scratched in December on the arm by a cat and that about 10 days later the pain began.

The medication record shows that morphia was used, but Dr. O'Connor says that there was but a trace of it in the organs examined. All the tests were made. These included physical and chemical tests during which the chemist looked for irritant or volatile poisons, also poisons of a vegetable, metallic and alkaloidal character. Every test gave negative results, he says in his report.

The Eagle long ago discounted this report, for there was little chance that anything would be found by the chemist except a perfectly natural condition in cases where death had been occasioned by such a malady as tetanus. Nor was there any indication that death was due to anything but tetanus, as Carlton had all along claimed. While the analysis was going on Carlton remained in the jail perfectly unconcerned. He declared that he was perfectly satisfied with the diagnosis of the doctors in both cases, and that he was convinced that death was due, by a remarkable coincidence, to the same malady in both cases. In the jail, when word was brought to him that the chemist had found nothing wrong, Carlton, who was born McCandless, smiled his peculiar smile and said, "I told you He is not a bit worried, either, over the things that may happen to him when the picture episode in his career is to be investigated by the Court of Special Sessions, nor is he bothering his soul out over the grand larceny charge of Schaub's, upon which he has been indicted, and the rumors that women from many towns will come to Brooklyn to tell the world, through the courts, that he is a most energetic bigamist.

He has said all along that he will not be convicted. Inspector Cross is saying nothing about the case just now, but he feels posttive that he will have Mr. Carlton put out of the way for a while before he gets through with him. It is interesting to note that Detectives Walden and Murray, the two men who have been working on the Carlton case since the beginning, were relieved from the special duty this morning. They have washed their hands of the case for a while and do not expect to be put back to work on it until the next Grand Jury meets.

Then they may have some new evidence to present against the man who is said to have taken the nude pictures of his fiance, "the kid," as he calls her, Elinor Van Deventer. Carlton has dropped from public notice for the time being, but he is still in jail. getting fatter, though and resting on his oars, like a philosopher. MC CLURE NEW PLANT. Four Story Building, to Cover 11 Lots, Being Put Up in L.

I. City for Printing Establishment. The McClure Publishing Company has prepared final plans for its big four story publishing house to be built on its plot bought last May, comprising eleven lots in Long Island City, with a frontage of 260 feet on Orchard street, 125 feet on the north side of the Long Island Railroad tracks and 25 feet on Queen street. A number of workmen have torn down the four houses that stood on the property and a number of others are now engaged in blasting down to a foundation for the heavy superstructure. The building is to be completed by May 1, 1906, and the publishing company will, it is said, remove its entire printing and binding and mailing business to the new establishment, only retaining a salesroom in Manhattan.

EXAMINING SEIZED TOBACCO. Suspicion That 100 1 Bales Should Pay a Duty of $1.85 a Pound, Instead of 35 Cents. James B. Reynolds, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, spent the entire morning at the public stores in Manhattan conferwith Appraiser Whitehead and other officials. It was said that he was devoting special attention to a reappraisement of a large consignment of tobacco which was seized last week.

The tobacco was brought here from Tampa and suspicion was first attracted to it by the fact that it was shipped to New York instead of being "worked" at Tampa. The duty on filler tobacco is 35 cents a pound. But if there is more than 15 per cent. of wrapper in the tobacco it counts as wrapper tobaco. The duty on wrapper tobacco 1s $1.85 a pound.

The goods were examined bale by bale, it being a huge task, as there were 100 bales. ELECTRIC LIGHTS. We install wiring for lights, motors, cooking utensils and every purpose for which the Electric current can be used. George Weiderman Electric Co. Inc.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS CONTRACTORS, 267 Flatbush Telephone 677 Prospect. N. Y. Office, 21-27 New Chambers St. FAMOUS SUBWAY TAVERN IS NOW A COMMON SALOON Temperance Idea Boomed Busi ness for a While, but It Last.

PRESIDENT JOHNSON IS OUT. Under the New Order of Things, Drink Purchasers Will Encounter No Limit. Rum and religion failed to mix at the Subway Tavern. This famous temperance saloon, dedicated by Bishop Potter, opened with the "Doxology," and conducted for a year by Joseph Johnson, of Brooklyn, was changed to-day into a common East Side "gin mill." Hereafter it will be run on strictly business lines, without regard to the principles of barroom reform. At 2 o'clock this afternoon President Johnson, of the Subway Tavern Company, met the newspaper men in the water wagon department of the tavern and told them how and why failure had come to the scheme that was intended to revolutionize drinking places in New York City.

Mr. Johnson was quite sad. "I had to fail or run it as an ordinary saloon," said Mr. Johnson, "and I chose to get out of it altogether." The tavern failed because it was run under such restrictions that profits were largely curtailed. At its start it made more money than five or six other good saloons combined, but its patrons soon got tired of a place where they were not allowed to get drunk.

The tavern has apparently proved that New Yorkers don't want a saloon that will sell them pure whisky at moderate prices, give them a reading room for their entertainment and send them home sober. Not long ago President Johnson said he could make the place return a large profit by abandoning the principles for which it stood and let it be run as a plain rum shop. "The great profit in saloons comes from customers who are intoxicated, or who have drunk enough to make them want a lot more," said one of the Subway Tavern directors. "In this place we have not sold a drop of whiskey or beer to any person who was intoxicated, or even near the state of intoxication. We have also discouraged the sale of wine.

Of course we have sold as much as one bottle of champagne to a party of diners in the rathskeller, but one bottle was the limit. "Under the rules of the tavern no one was allowed to come in and keep buying drinks as long as he could hold them, as is allowed in ordinary saloons. Most of our customers have limited their purchases to a glass of beer or a drink of whisky. It takes a great many glasses of beer to make the sales show profit enough to pay running expenses. Another thing that hurt the tavern was the notoriety it got when first opened.

Of course that attracted big crowds at first, but they were not permanent customers. It started slumming parties in this direction and drove away regular customers, who objected to being put on About $15,000 was sunk in the Subway Tavern, according to James J. Farnsworth, secretary and treasurer of the Tavern Company. Mr. Farnsworth said to-day that ho and his friends had lost money in it, but they did not regret that so much as the failure of the idea.

They went into the Subway Tavern expecting it to prove popular with the poorer classes. It was planned that the first tavern should pay 5 per cent. to its stockholders and the remaining prowere to be devoted to opening up other fits taverns of a similar character. "The place has been losing money for some time," said Mr. Farnsworth.

"It could not be made to pay SO long as it was run as we thought it should be run. We were not willing to abandon a single principle for which the tavern stood. We had started it to prove that the poor man could have a decent place to get a drink and to spend an hour with his friends. We aimed to disassociate drinking from the immoral and degrading features of some saloons. "Naturally, we are sorry to see the place changed into an ordinary saloon, but we could not prevent it.

We had already put his in the place. Mr. Johnson has given $15,000 whole time and attention to the tavern for a long time, without receiving one cent in return." The Subway Tavern was the best advertised place in America. After dedicated it with a religious service, Bishop he Potter was attacked by clergymen all over the world. The Bishop defended the place and was sustained in his defense by many of the greatest ministers in the country.

The Subway had two departments, beside its restaurants. In front there was a soda fountain, where women were served with soft drinks. In the rear was the saloon, with the reading room, supplied with good books and periodicals. The place was decorated by Lamb and its walls were hung with pictures by many well known artists. W.

A. Skidmore, who has been in of the restaurant, will take entire charge charge of the place. He will tear down the Subway Tavern sign and run the saloon as other saloons are run. The stockholders of the Subway Tavern Company included Fulton Cutting, head of the Citizens Union; E. R.

0. Gould, former City Chamberlain; Herbert Alfred M. Hirschfeld, Bayard Cutting, Acosta Nicols, J. J. Farnsworth and President Johnson.

SOME TALK OF A STRIKE Brooklyn Dealers, However, Do Not Look for Trouble at Mines Until Spring. $6.50 A TON AFTER DECEMBER 1. Severity of the Coming Winter Will Determine Whether the Price Will Be Further Advanced. Local coal dealers do not hold the same views of the prospects for a strike in the anthracite coal regions entertained by J.

Samuel Smoot, commissioner of the Coal Merchants Association, who declared this morning that it seemed improbable that a strike could be avoided. "The dealers," said Mr. Smoot, "look with apprehension upon the prospect of a strike at the termination of the present arrangement between the operators and miners. There is not a dealer in New York, whatever the outcome of the last strike was to him, who would welcome a repetition of that trying ordeal which every man interested in the coal business was called upon to bear. "We are advising our members to refrain from making any contracts, either until next April or thereafter.

There is nothing to be gained either by the dealer or the public by entering into a contract. The dealer cannot provide for it, as he is unable to store the coal. The public cannot expect the dealer to deliver that which it IS impossible to procure. If we are to believe what Mr. Mitchell is reported to have said in his recent speeches and if his present.

intentions are carried out, it would seem very improbable that we could escape a strike." The local dealers do not believe there is any ground for the alarm felt by Mr. Smoot. One prominent Brooklyn dealer said this atternoon that no serious apprehension is felt that the dealers will not be able to' supply coal to consumers all this winter. "If a strike comes we don't believe it will take place before the spring," said this dealer, "and with the winter over consumers won't have to worry for a while over any trouble that may break out in the coal regions." The price of anthracite coal for the period between now and December 1 has been fixed at $6.25 a ton, beginning to-day. After December 1 and until the winter is over the price will be $6.50 a ton.

The price of coal has already jumped 40 cents a ton since April 1, but there will be no further advances until the winter sets in. If the coming winter is as severe last winter was the price of coal may go higher than $6.50 a ton. Last winter the prive reached $7 a ton.

William Copley, a florist, who is credited with having built the first greenhouses in this vicinity, died yesterday at his residence, 69 Floyd street, where he still carried on business in a small way. The deceased, who was 89 years old, was a great lover of flowers, and when quite young was a gardener on the estates of different wealthy men in Ireland, where he was born.

He came to America in 1855 and started a greenhouse in a small way on Cripple Bush road, which is now Park avenue. He raised many new varieties of roses, and as his business increased he erected new greenhouses until he took the entire block bounded by Nostrand, Park and Marcy avenues and Floyd street. As building operations began about him he parted with the ground he occupied until only a small greenhouse remained, and this was retained more for his own pleasure. He was a widower, his wife having died twelve years ago. He is survived by two sons and two daughters.

Death was due to a complication of diseases. Funeral services will be conducted on Sunday morning by the Rev. Father Jillon, at the Church of St. Louis. Ellery street.

DRIFTING TOWARD REPUBLIC. Dr. Waldenstrom Says Norwegian Sentiment Points With Apparent Certainty Toward Republican Government. Chicago, August 31-Dr. P.

Waldenstrom, one of the leading figures in Swedish politics, close friend of King Oscar, member of the Riksdag for twenty years and a leader in religious reform in Scandinavian countries, reached Chicago yesterday for a brief stay. In an interview Dr. Waldenstrom asserted that Norway was drifting with apparent certainty toward the formation of a republic. While Norway, he declared, may yet get a king, his personal view was that the Republicang as against the friends of the monarchical idea were gaining ground. Dr.

Waldenstrom said the Swedish and Norwegian governments to -day would begin a further negotiations. The Norwegian Storthing is expected to assemble within a few weeks.

The excitement attracted Policeman Kavanagh of the Bedford avenue station, who arrested Burns who was still flourishing the weapon.

When Magistrate Higginbotham in the Lee avenue court this morning learned of the circumstances he ordered the revolver confiscated and sentenced Burns to jail for ten days. BEAR AND TWO WILDCATS.
