The stabbing followed some misunderstanding in a saloon at 96 Sixth street. Graven was in the place with several others, among them being Dominico Angelisto. The police arrested Angelisto, as the wounded man said he was the one who had stabbed him.

Graven had left the saloon and was walking down Sixth street when he was assaulted.

NEW WEDDING DATE NOT FIXED Dr. Angus and Mrs.

Duryea Are Still Engaged, However, BridegroomElect Declares. (Special to the Eagle.) Glen Cove, L. May 10-The Rev. Dr. Samuel Angus, who is to marry Mrs.

Katherine Walker: Duryca, said to-day that despite a report to the contrary printed by a Manhattan morning paper, in what purports to be an interview with Dr. Angus and his fiancee, no date has been fixed for the performance of the postponed ceremony. Dr. Angus told a representative of the Eagle that neither he nor Mrs. Duryea had fixed upon the date, and flatly repudiated every statement made by the Manhattan paper.

The couple were to have been married on May 14, but in consequence of the death of William Duryea, the cerer mony was Mrs. Duryea was quoted as saying last night that since her sisters-In-law had declared her gagement to Dr. Angus had been broken, she would be married on the date originally set. This Dr. Angus emphatically denied, speaking, he said, for Mrs.

Duryea. He also denied that the engagement had been broken, but declined to discuss the motives of her sisters-in-law for saying, as they are alleged to have said, that there had been a severance of the tie binding him to Mrs. Duryea. CAPTAIN KRECK'S DEATH. Commander of the Graf Waldersee Succumbs to Pneumonia at Sea.

Locked in his room to prevent his further endangering his life by exposure to the weather, and struggling in his barred stateroom for nearly week until his strength gave out, Captain Adelbert Kreck, one of the oldest and most widely known commanders in the HamburgAmerican Line service and captain of the Graf Waldersee, died aboard his ship early last Monday morning, and his body was brought to this port to-day on his vessel, coming under the command of the first officer. Mr. Wagner. The Graf Waldersee came into port with her flags at half mast out of respect for her dead commander. Captain Kreck's death was both pathetic and tragic, for the old commander fought as valiantly against death as he had, ever fought against the elements for the safety of his passengere.

He lost his life looking after the welfare of those who had intrusted themselves to his skill on the Graf Waldersee, for the cold that he contracted by his persistency in remaining on the bridge during foggy weather, while the Graf Waldersee moved down the Elbe from Hamburg. resulted in pneumonia that ate the life of tho commander and Anally triumphed over the veteran officer after a week's fight against death. The Graf Waldersee sailed from Hamburg on the evening of Saturday, April 27. Before she sailed Captain Kreck, wife and one of their sons. a lieutenant in the German artillery, dined together on board, and the wife and son waved their adieus to the husband and father as the latter stood silhouetted against the dark sky on the lofty bridge of the big Hamburg liner.

It was that same night that Captain Kreck caught cold. The lowing morning, cold and benumbed on the bridge of the Waldersee, he was taken with a hemorrhage, and Dr. Lubert, the ship's surgeon, quickly ordered the commander taken to his room. Captaia Kreck was a powerful man, however, and he refused to remain in his quarters while the foR Insted and his passengers had a right to his keeping guard on the bridge. He grew steadily worse, however, and after hard night on Sunday, April 28.

when the Graf Waldersee touched at Plymouth, Captain Kreck had another and more severe hemorrhage that Sunday evening. and still another on Monday inornine. April 29, before daylight. Then First Officer Wagner and Dr. Lubert cided on herole measures.

Struceling the delirium that was fast beclouding his brain, Captain Kreck was finally literally carried below. Early last Monday morning the captain died. He had wasted to nothing. Although married for over twenty-five years, having celebrated his silver wedding in midorean last summer while his wife WAR at home in Hamburg. Captain Kreck had often told him friends that in all those twenty-fre years he had spent total of only two years with his wife, Beside son.

WILL MAKE ANOTHER TRY. Law Department Almost Despairs of Reaching Any Sort of Arrangement. The Livingston street franchise seems to be in a well nigh hopeless tangle. Controller Metz was hopeful that the matter might be adjusted at the meeting of the Board of Estimate this morning, but Assistant Corporation Counsel Burr, who has the matter in charge, declared that the Law Department WAS unable to reach an agreement with the legal representatives of the company over some minor points in the terms and conditions of the franchise. Controller Metz said that from all appearances the railroad company was not very anxious, to secure the franchise.

Mr. Metz told the board that he had requested the railroad company to have a representative present at the meeting to in order that some agreement might be reached with the city under which the franchise could be granted to the company. He had received assurances that George Yeomans, the chief counsel, wowd be present, but when inquiries were made nobody appeared to reresent the company. Assistant Corporation Counsel Burr plained that the Law Department had not been able to reach a satisfactory agreement with the company. He said that there were several points, and he instanced the question of compensation, upon which the company apparently showed no inclination to yield.

"I will never agree to vote for the franchise," said President McGowan, "unless it has the approval of the Corporation "The indications are," said Mr. Burr, "that we will never "It is about time," said Mr. Metz, "that this franchise was disposed of. It is of extreme importance to the interests of Brooklyn. I asked Mr.

Yeomans to be here to-day, but from all appearances it seems as if the B. R. T. is not anxious to secure the franchise." should Mr. be Metz taken urged that the matter immediate and action on President McGowan and President Color.

as the select committee, agreed to hold a meeting this afternoon, at which the Corporation Counsel and the legal representatives of the company will be present to adjust the differences and come to a satisfactory agreement. The board, which was threatened with jail if it did not take action upon the report of the commission, which had selected Union Square, Manhattan, As the site for a new court house, met the challenge of District Attorney Jerome, Supreme Court Justice Greenbaum and the Grand Jury, by adopting a report reJecting the site. This complies with the request of the Grand Jury that some action be taken by the board. President McGowan submitted the report rejecting the site. He said that the report had been prepared last March, and would have been submitted then only for the urgent solicitation of a number of.

the fudges of the Supreme Court, who believed that in delaying its presentation the board in the meantime would And the money required to acquire the site and erect the building. In his report. Mr. McGowan stated that the $20.000.000 which is the approximate cost of the site and the new building was necessary for other purposes, such as the 'erection of new school. Are and police bulldings, A8 well 'as for the enlargement of the bridge terminals.

For that reason, he believed. the board should reject the court house site on the ground that it would prove too expensive for the city's finances. President Haften submitted a proposition for the erection of a bridge to connect the Bronx with the Borough of Queens. In his letter to the board, Mr. Haffen said: "Some suitable bridge connection should be made across the East River, between the Bronx and Queens.

Such an improvement is necessary and would be very sirable. Looking over the situation. it will be found that the narrowest part of the East River is at a point between Ferry Point, the Bronx, and Whitestone, Queens, and I would recommend that the necessary steps be taken to bring about the construction of bridge between these two points, 50 as to make good connection between the Bronx and Queens and Rive a direct line between the eastern section of the Bronx and the water front of the Atlantic Controller Metz did not take very kindly to- Mr. Haffen's suggestion. In the frat place, he said, th.

elty did not have the money, and, secondly, the same pose could be served by ferry line. President Haffen replied that the struction of a bridge at that point was just as important as the Manhattan ani Blackwell's Island bridges. Mr. Haffen's letter was referred to troller Metz and Bridge Commissioner Stevenson for formal report. The board appropriated $200,000 to compiete the Queens County Court House in Long Island City.

This will make a total appropriation of $450.000. Mayor Ciellan was rather opposed to the grantInR of the appropriation. but when he assured that the additional money would complete the building he agreed to rote for It. KILLED BABY AND HERSELF. Pittsburg.

A.T. RAILWAY GUARD MET DEATH ON ELEVATED Three or Four Trains Ran Over Body, Which Was ShockIngly Multilated. SOME PARTS STILL MISSING. No One Saw Winne Fall Off Sixteenth Street Station Platform- Woman Discovered Body.

Cut up into over a hundred pieces, and mutilated almost beyond recognition, the body of Manuel Winne, a B. R. T. guard employed on the Fifth avenue "L' line. was found late last night on the northbound track of the Fifth avenue line at the extreme end of the Sixteenth street station.

There is much mystery concerning how the man met his death, but the police believe that it was purely an accident. theory of murder which was advanced by some of Winne's friends is by Captain Langan and the detectives of the Fifth avenue station, but there is as much evidence that the case is one of murder as there is that it was an accident. No witnesses to the tragedy have been found. Florence Graham of 1602 Forty-Arst street, Kensington, discovered the body while waiting for a train. She walked along the platform, at the extreme end, where Prospect and Fifth avenues join, she noticed something lying on the track.

She went to the edge and leaned over. To her horror she saw that it was the body of a man. Screaming, she ran to the station to get a lantern, but, before anyone could reach the body, a Bath Beach express came along and ran over It. The police at the Fifth avenue station house, directly in front of the elevated station, heard the excitement and hurried to the platform, but the most they could do was to keep the people back and pick up the pieces of the body they found on the tracks. The trunk of the body was in fairly good condition, but the face was crushed in and the legs broken into bits.

It was not until after midnight that most of these parts were recovered, and then one leg was still missing. Patrolman Barker found part of it on Fifth ave. two hours after the accident happened. Most of Winne's teeth were also found in the street. It was easily apparent that the man' had been run over by more than one elevated train.

The train in front of the Bath Beach express was later examined at the Thirty-sixth street depot and portions of the man's body and clothing were found caught in the wheels. There is reason to believe that at least three and possibly four trains ran over Winne and to-day all the trains which ran on Fifth avenue within a half hour of the time the body was discovered last night, are being examined at the depot. The body was taken into the Fifth avenue police station and the number taken from the plate on the cap which WAS found nearby. Captain Langan learned from the officials at the B. R.

T. Thirtysixth street depot the name and address of the man. Luther Winne of 422 Seventh avenue, with whom Manuel Winne lived, identifled the remains as those of his brother, who was 32 years of age, and had a wife and four children living in Sheffeld. Mass. Manuel Winne did not work yesterday.

He arrived at the depot a few minutes too late and was not assigned for the day. Yesterday was also pay day and Captain Langan says he believes that Winne took few drinks in celebration of the fact and on returning home either stepped or tell from the platform and struck the third rail. The station agent says no man in uniform. to her knowledge, entered the stntion for about an hour before the body was discovered. The police believe that Winne got off a train and either was In such a condition that he did not know what he was doing and walked off the platform or that he forgot and walked toward the Prospect avenue end of the platform.

thinking the stairway was at that end. Another theory is that he fell or was pushed off the rear end of a train, but Luther Winne does not know of any enemies his brother may have had. NEEDS PONY IN BUSINESS. But Colt Has Appeared on the Scene, and Court's Aid Is Necessary. Magistrate Voorhees has novel case to decide this morning in the Coney Island court when John Luhra, who lives In Sheepshead Bay, was summoned fore him by John J.

McCarthy to explain why he refuses to part with a pony which McCarthy claims belongs to him. It pears that McCarthy, who was in charge of the hippodrome at Dreamland last year, went to Luhrs and made a contract with him whereby he was to care for two ponies during the winter. The ponies were to be returned to McCarthy on of before May 15 and in default Luhra was 10 pay $150. McCarthy returned to Coney Island a week ago and began the work of getting ready for the coming season. He said he went over to Luhra' place in Sheepshead Bay to get the pontes, but Lubra said he could only have one.

McCarthy demanded to know why he could not have the other one and Luhra told him the other pony had dropped colt and that he (Luhrs) sidered himself the owner of the colt. McCarthy declared he cared nothing for the colt. but he did want the pony cause the season was at hand and he wanted to use the pony. The colt about four weeks old now and Labra declares he will not give up the colt. did Carthr again claimed he not want the at all.

Magistrate Voorbees said It would never do separate the colt from the pony just at present and Carthy le now at him wits end how he can get nossrasion of the pony. tr pony is not delivered by May 15, he says he can claim $150, according the contract, but he thinks Luhra ought have both pony and colt, so that can use the former during the season and then he can return the colt. Luhra says, however, that he will not part with the and the matter will be decided FIRE DROVE FAMILIES OUT.

Although Most of the Conductors Kick About the New.

Transfers. THREATS OF DAMAGE SUITS. Passengers Who Are Put Off for Hav. ing Wrong Tickets May Make Trouble. It is denied by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company that its conductors are resigning because of the hardships.

and penalities imposed by the new transfer system, which went into effect yesterday morning. The Eagle was informed, the information, a coming large from number of conductors conductors themhad already resigned on account of the new system. The conductors were abusing the transfer system to -day They were wondering how they would be able to collect fares, hang on crowded open cars and punch Individual transfers at the same time. "It's all we can do to hang on the average crowded open car, as. it, is now," said one conductor, "and I don't see how we will be able to hang on and make careful punches on transfers at the same time." There was so much talk of resignations and the system obviously was giving the conductors so much trouble that it was, Indeed, surprising when the B.

R. T. declared that there had been only three resignations. "We average about twenty or twentyfive resignations of conductors every day," said a representative of the railroad company, "but to-day we have had only three." "Here, indeed, was a remarkable situation. A new system against which all conductors were protesting was actually having the paradoxical effect of keeping conductors from resigning.

The counsel for the railroad company found enough to' give worry to-day in the fruitful source, of damage suits: already manifested in the new system. Conductors have orders not to accept a transfer not punched in the proper place. These instructions must be observed, no matter if the passenger presenting the transfer has a perfect right to ride on it. having procured it on payment of a fre-cent fare. If A conductor does not observe the instructions he must pay the penalty by turnino over to the railroad company 5 cents for every transfer not properly punched by the issuing conductor.

The conductors are not wealthy philanthropists and they will put a passenger off rather than accept a transfer which will be termed invalid by the company, Young lawyers swarmed over the city yesterday and to-day looking for cases of passengers put off cars because the conductor who issued them transfers had made a mistake in punching the transfers. The lawyers of the B. R. T. realize that the railroad company will be liable for every case where a passenger has been put off because of a conductor's mistake In punching a transfer.

It was said to-day that under certain conditions conductors accepting transfers not properly punched would not have to suffer the penalty, but that the issuing conductor would have to make good. The tracing of transfers back to the issuing conductor will be no easy matter. It was stated at the offices of the company that the transfer system was working smoothly and giving no trouble. It was dented that an accident at North Tenth street and Driggs Avenue, Willresulted from the operation of the new system. It had been said that conductor on a Crosstown car was SO busy seeing that his transfers were punched properly that he paid no tion to a woman who was getting off the rear platform.

He rang the bell and the woman WAS thrown violently to the ground. The railroad company's report said that the woman stepped off ward. HAD A BURGLAR'S KIT. Father of Accused Also Found His G. A.

The question before me is one of fact. That is: Did this man follow a workman over the bridge and annoy, him on his way home? Strikers have no right to annoy those who take their places.

That is well established in law. They may use every persuasion that is lawful, but they must not annoy them; nor oppress them in any way. The 'law' 'is quite clear on that point." The complainant in the case was Harry Elander, of 57 Johnson street, and the defendant Edward Murray, of 521 St. Mark's avenue. Elander had complained that a party of half a dozen men had been in the habit of following him across the bridge on his way home, saying most disagreeable things 'in his hearing and treading on his heels, sometimes, just to annoy him.

He was on his way across the bridge after work last night, and this time he had been fortifled by the presence of Matthew P. McKenna, special officer employed by the Arm. He had been followed as usual, and Murray was one of the foremost in following and kept at him and bebind him even after, they got over the bridge and walked up to Myrtle avenue. -had doubled on his tracks to shake his alleged tormentors, and they had doubled. too.

He bad walked. ahead of them and then behind them, but they slackened their pace and kept after him. He went into cigar store, and when he got out, he found Murray waiting there for him. Then, after A hounds and hare chase through the streets, he gave Mr. Murray into custody.

Former' Magistrate 0m- men of Manhattan appeared to prosecute and the walking delegate was in court in the interest of the accused. Murray in his own defense declared that oppression or Intimidation was the last thing in his thoughts. "Moral persuasion," he said, "was what he had tried to use and moral persuasion was what the walking delegate bad endeavored to convince him was the only way. It was true that after working in his own shop he and some others had followed Elander and other men who were not in the Union, but although it was not merely a coincidence that they kept behind them it was not true that they used bad words, called Mr. Elander a scab or trod on his heels.

He had been given to understand that the man should not be interfered with In any way and he wanted it understood that he was not molested. The accuser was recalled to the witness stand and he told how the man had once, about six weeks ago, followed him Into a restaurant where he was eating and had said most disagreeable things there, seating himself at the next table. it not true that you accepted funds of the union?" asked the walking delegate, "and that when the men went out at first you went out with them. And is it not true that the union sent you to Chicago? How much did the Union pay you then?" "Fifty dollars." said the pininant, that was for transportation and traveling Magistrate Dooley said that such dence was not -applicable to the case and Mr. Ommen asserted, for the prosecution, that he was glad It got in, for the walkIng delegate was furnishing testimony on which an Injunction could be 'secured againstt he union.

Magistrate Dooley found the accused Auilty and placed him under bonds to keep the peace for six months. He told Murray that he had no right to follow Elander after he had been warned not to do so, and that he should have cone home, and about his business last night. FOR SPECIAL DEPUTIES.
