New Jail Is to Cost Hence the Economy Move--Officials' Bills Among Those Pruned. (Special to the Eagle.) Riverhead, L. November 11-Shortly after approving the plans for a new jail, which with its water, lighting, heating and sewer plants, will cost in the neighborhood of $175,000, the Suffolk supervisors yesterday developed an economic mood and began to either hew down bills ol' throw them out bodily. The first was a bill for $150 sent by County Judge Grifting as legal services for six months to the county treasurer. "Sent to the county treasurer for was the ultimate fate of the bill, and Judge Grifting's mail yesterday afternoon did not include a draft for this bill from Clerk Flugrath.

Coroner Savage sent a bill of $285 for fees in a number of cases, included in which was a charge of $67.90 in the Gebhardt matter. The bill was reduced to $277.50 and paid. Dr. A. J.

Rosanoff of Kings Park forwarded a bill for $100 for performing the autopsy and exemaning the stomach of a Huntington Italian named Frank Anunziato, who was found dying on the highway three weeks ago, and who later died without regaining consciousness. The board refused payment temporarily. In discussing it members said $50 for such a job was enough. Dr. Gordon Gibson of Brooklyn sent a bill for $25 for assisting in the same autopsy.

After some haggling this was paid. Coroner William B. Gibson of Huntington wrote statement regarding these two bills. He said that the examination of the contents of the stomach showed morphine poisoning; that the dead man was last seen with one Tom Prisco; that he was suspected of administering the poison, because the dead man was robbed of $200, and that a wal'rant for Prisco's arrest had been issued had not yet been found. "The board objected also to the payment of a bill for $94.80, sent by Henry Werpupp of Newark, the chief witness against Gebhardt at the coroner's inquest.

Mr. Werpupp had charged for expenses and for a per diem of $10 a day for five days. This last item was considered excessive, but a letter from him stated that he could have made mora than that if he had stayed at home, and another letter from the district attorney stated that the man was a most material witness, and as he was without the state, the only way to get him was to pay him per diem. After reading these the board allowed the bill. WALLER WAS IN A HURRY.

Chauffeur Arrested for Speeding With Bridal Party--Had Urgent Business in Brooklyn, Though he was driving a wedding party, and was in a hurry to get home besides, because his wife had just presented him with another little Waller, John E. Waller, chauffeur, who. lives at 396 Seventh avenue; Brooklyn, was arrested at One Hundred and Twenty-second street and St. Nicholas avenue, Manhattan, last night, charged with driving. taken to the night court and fined $5 by Magistrate Corrigan.

The bridegroom, who recently resigned from the police force, accompanied him to court and paid his fine. Waller had as passengers John J. Fletcher, Mrs. John J. Fletcher and Thomas Fletcher, brother of the bridegroom and best man.

They were being driven home to 32 West Sixty-fifth street, from the wedding--the location of which the police did not learn--and were in a burry. So was Waller, who explained that if it had not been a wedding party, be would not have stayed for the finish, on account of the telegram he proudly exhibited from his home in Brooklyn. Fletcher protested strongly against the arrest, and Mrs. Fletcher, blushing, pleaded, but the policeman took them all to the West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street station. There the lieutenant permitted Waller to take the bridal party home on his way to the night court, and Mrs.

Fletcher bade her husband go along and help Waller out of his predicament. He did. OYSTERMEN NOT ALARMED. Growers on Island's North Shore Fear No Monopoly by Radel and A His Associates. (Special to the Eagle.) Greenport, L.

November 11-Local oystermen are discussing to-day the purchase of the oyster lands in the Great South Bay from the Smith heirs by Andrew Radel and a company of business associates for a sum said to have been between $300,000 and $400,000. While it is pet generally known that Mr. Radel has bought out the Standard Oyster Company of Greenport and New Suffolk, L. and South Norwalk, there has been much speculation as to the price paid. An Eagle, reporter was told to-day that Mr.

Radel paid for the Greenport plant $350,000, including steamers, oyster grounds and shore plants in the several villages. The Greenport oystermen, however, are not alarmed as are their South Bay colleagues, because the local oystermen own their land, the same as Mr. Radel does, and it cannot be taken from them. The local shippers also own their own seed grounds it Connecticut. The oysters are grown there and transplanted for growth, the same as they are in the Great South Bay.

Should Mr. Radel complete a monopoly of the Great South Bay it is probable that the South Bay shippers will move their plants to Greenport, where the may be bought outright in small parcels ol from an acre upwards. BOARD POSTPONES ACTION. Jamaica Bay Improvement Too Vast for Present. The New York Board of Trade and Transportation, at its monthly meeting.

at 203 Broadway, Manhattan, yesterday afternoon, postponed action on the report cf its committees on terminal facilities and on canals, in which the improvement of Jamaica Bay as a harbor was held to be too vast an undertaking to be attempted within the near future, and the 118e of the bay for a terminal for the barge canal was impracticable. The action of the board was in compliance with a request made by Charles C. Copeland, who was unable to attend the meeting on account of illness. Mr. Copeland sent word that he had good reasons to advance against the of the report.

ST. JAMES HAILS GAYNOR AS THE NEXT PRESIDENT Long Island Townsmen and Farmers Serenade Mayor-Elect at His Country Home. FLAMES AND CHEERS AT FETE. Successful Candidate Outlines His Policies and Praises Work of Alfred E. Steers.

(Special to the Eagle.) St. James, L. N. November St. James burned tar barrels last night and brought out its fire department in honor of Mayor- elect William J.

Gaynor, who was bailed the President of the United States." Gaynor modestMinest ly refrained from replying to this enthusiastic prophecy, but he did refer to what had been done during the campaign, and also what he meant to do as mayor. He told the assembled boys, who with the fire department were crowded up to the very steps of the stoop, that he, too, had once been a boy. He had, said, no idea then of the honor in store for him. It was a sight refreshingly unusual to city eyes. St.

James has not street lights of any sort, save such as filter through the windows of the widely separated houses, and the occasional glow of lanterns as the villagers or farmers pass to and fro. Many of these farmers trudged miles of country road last night to attend the parade and serenade. The assemblying point was in front of Sam Gould's hotel. The Eagle Hook and Ladder Company was on hand, The band from Central Islip also was there in full regalia, but not least, there was present Frank' De Mott and 'Ike Jewell, two local characters of considerable re- nown. Fiery Parade Circles Gaynor Home.

The nature of the country made it impossible to have a very lengthy parade and still keep it within sight of Mr. Gaynor's home, and 50. the procession cerrying colored lights, simply circled the mayor-elect's yard, proceeding down Main street to the general store, up Gaynor's lane to Moriches road, and then into the yard and up to Mr. Gaynor's stoop. The committee of six, who arranged the serenade, stumbled hurriedly up the steps, and each shook Mr.

Gaynor by the hand. The village cannon was then exploded and the villagers cheered. Three skyrockets and 'a "nigger chaser" also were discharged during the festivities. "Well, this looks a little like New York," Mr. Gaynor said as the reporters emerged from the darkness into the circle of lights about the stoop.

"You are all here." The committee men having disposed of the solemn duty of shaking Mr. Gaynor by the hand, ranged themselves on either side of the mayor -elect at attention, with the grand marshal of the parade, J. V. Burgvin. William S.

Lawson, the speaker of the evening, 'decided to give way to the Rev. Edward Abbey of the Smithtown Presbyterian Church, who formally lated Mr. Gaynor. Mr. Abbey called Mr.

Gaynor the next President of the United States, to and the farmers cheered. The minister was not sure whether Smithtown was now an appendage of St. James or vice versa. Mr. Gaynor stood loyally by St.

James. "When you become the candidate for President you will get a solid vote from St. James," Mr. Abbey said. Mr.

Gaynor called attention to the fact that during his seven years of residence in St. James he had become known to all the villagers and surrounding farmers, and that he, was speaking acouaintance even with bovs. the" Mayor- Elect Was "Bad Boy," He Says. too, was a boy once," he said. "I was probably worse than you boys, for know you are all good boys.

You all know, too, that I was mayor of Nisconset before I became mayor of New York. I would be satisfied to be. mayor of St. James. "When I country boy, worse than these boys here, I never dreamed I woull bo entering effice under such circumstances as these.

Much less did I even expect to go through what I have gone through in the past month. You all know I did not want to be mayor. I had an office that satisfied my ambition, but man proposes and God disposes. "The truth is I have been a drudge ail my life, and I am now entering on four more years of drudgery. I have never tried to do anything great.

I have just tried to do what came my hand." At this point three cheers were given for the next President. "I suppose I will have to make Ike Jewell police commissioner," cried the judge. "How long will Hearst have to live here to get this?" shouted a voice. "I suppose if he brought all his newspapers down here he might carry St. James," responded the judge.

Mr. Gaynor was interrupted during his talk by a woman on the lawn, who insisted she had come from New York to see the judge, and she asked for three cheers. They were given. "Let us put our hats on or we might catch cold." Mr. Gaynor suggested, after which the band struck up and the serenaders marched to home of Richard H.

Smith, the -elected city court magistrate, who lives at Nissequogue. Judge Smith's house was serenaded, the judge being away. The celebration concluded in a dance. Judge Caynor announced this morning that Judge Alfred E. Steers, the newlyelected borough president of Brooklyn, had been one of his callers durin- the week.

Mr. Gaynor said in referring to Mr. Steers' visit: "Judge Steers visited me. I know him very well. I have known him since he was A young man.

His uncle was my friend and supporter in Flatbush years ago." SENATOR REYNOLDS' DINNER. Celebrates His Victory in Getting 1 Remaining Long Beach Lands.

De La Vergne and George A. Krupp. COLER'S BULLETIN DIES AT QUITE A TENDER AGE Editor John A. Heffernan Says Its Mission on Earth Has Been Accomplished. NO INQUEST HELD AS YET.

The Borough Hall Flag Has Not Even Been Ordered at Half Mast. Coler's Bulletin is dead. It died some time between its last appearance and today, of suspended animation or inanition, it is hard to determine which. The coroner may hold an inquest, it he can discover the remains, but, in the words of one of the mourners, "There ain't chief no remains." It is not known whether or not there will be a public funeral, as the parent of the Bulletin was not in his office to-day when an Eagle reporter called to find out about the funeral services. He may have been prostrated with grief, but he did not order the flag on the Borough Hall to placed at half-mast.

bel The editor of the Bulletin, John A. Hetfernan, when seen this morning, was, with all due feeling of respect for the departed, in a rather merry mood. He seemed relieved, if such an expression is proper on such a sad occasion, that he had been freed from the task of trying to keep the child alive. Of course, he did not say so; but, on the other hand, he did not display the grief which might have been expected. He was resigned-that's the "The purpose of the paper has been accomplished," he announced.

"What "The purpose to offset the continual mis-statements in regard to public affairs made by the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. The Borough President started a couple of years ago or 90 to ask for greater appropriations from the Board of Estimate for public improvements in Brooklyn. The Eagle said that he wanted to increase his salary lists instead. So he decided to publish a paper which could be sent to those interested in public improvements and to improvement societies and which would tell the truth. That purpose has been accomplished." "Then the Eagle has reformed?" asked the reporter.

"Well, as to that I don't know. but the necessity for the publication has gone by. The object of the misstatements is being removed, and that's all." "Would you care to say anything about the financial condition the Bulletin?" Mr. Heffernan was asked. "Nothing at all." was the reply.

With bowed head the reporter wended his way over to the surrogate's office to find out if any will had been filed. It was learned that what estate was left by the infant of two years and six months was to go to Washington Irving Vanderpoel and Cartoonist Munson of the former staff of the Bulletin. They are empowered to go ahead with the good will of the deceased and its circulation lists and facilities and get out a paper. But this paper will be named The News Letter and while it makes its appearance weekly, as did the late lamented, in the words of Mr. Vanderpoel, "It will be run.

were scalded to death while at work in the detached boiler building of the Samuel Mundheim Hat Company, at 1 Carlton avenue, yesterday afternoon. Wheeler was an engineer and Kurz was his assistant. Edward Tierney, a fireman, had a narrow escape. A few days ago the piping of one of a the boilers got out of gear, and it was found necessary to make repairs. In order to do this the men were engaged.

The men had started to work on the third boiler when, in some way, the scalding steam poured out. Fireman Tierney made. a heroic attempt to shut off the connections that were literally dealing death to the two men. He managed to turn the steam off, although his hands and face were blistered. When the steam' had subsided, he found the two men dead on the top of the boilers.

Charles Delker of 41 Ralph street, who was said to be in charge of the work, was arrested by the Flushing avenue police on a charge of homicide, wag taken before Magistrate Nash, in the Myrtle avenue court, to-day, and discharged. CIGARETTE LED TO PANIC. Guard and Passenger Got Into Fight--Whistle Blew for Help. During the rush hours this morning, Peter Carpuno, 18 years old, of Sheridan and Dumont avenues, is alleged to have started a panic on a crowded Canarsie elevated Broadway, between the Hewes street, and Marcy avenue stations. which resulted in one man being injured.

Carpuno, it is claimed. was smoking a cigarette on the platform of one of the cars in charge of Guard Louis Wolf. 28 years old, of 48 Lewis avenue. Wolf told Carpuno to stop smoking, and the latter set upon him. Wolf called on the motorman to blow his whistle for help.

This caused considerable excitement and passengers began to rush for the platforms. Jacob Cohen, of 579 Dupont street, had one of his arms pushed through a window and painfully cut. The wound was dressed by Dr. Hughes, of the Williamsburg Hospital. Patrolman McCarthy, of the Hamburg avenue station, arrested Carpuno at the Marcy avenue station, and Magistrate O'Reilly, in the Manhattan avenue court, held him in $200 bail for Special Sessions.

ARREST OF MAHONEY ILLEGAL Judge Fawcett Holds That Rules of Road Can't Apply to Officials on Important Duty. Judge Lewis L. Fawcett, in the County Court, holds that the arrest and conviction of a public official, who happened, in the course of important to violate the ordinance, is illegal." The decision was made in the case of Acting Superintendent Timothy S. Mahoney of the Fire Alarm Bureau of Brooklyn and Queens, who appealed from a decision of a police magistrate Anding him guilty of a violation of the rules of the road. It appears that Superintendent Mahoney got a hurry call to repair certain signal wires in Flatbush, on January 26, following a sleet storm.

In a fire department rig and with a lineman, named Hickey, he drove along Livingston street. At the corner of Nevins street a trolley car stopped just ahead of the buggy, and there wasn't room for him to pass to the right of the car, So he passed to the left, and drove about two car lengths ahead of it before he got on the right side of the street. A policeman arrested him, and in a magistrate's court he was charged with violating the rules of the road. Judge Fawcett dismissed the complaint after reversing the conviction.

O. Havemeyer, Gets Out. OTHER EMPLOYES GO, TOO. Government's Investigation of Customs Frauds Is Real Reason Back of the Change. James F.

Bendernagel, the head of the office force employed in the avenue plant of the American Sugar Refining Company, has resigned, and H. H. Morgan, formerly of the Philadelphia plant of the company, is now in charge. This change was announced this morning by Arthur Donner, vice president and treasurer of the American Sugar Refining A A A Company, at his office, 117 Wall street. "There is nothing exciting about the "It is but a minor position, something change." said Mr.

Donner, this morning, like a chief clerkship, don't you know." "But it is one of the changes directly due to the recent disclosures of crooked weighing methods in vogue on the Eastern District docks, is it not?" "Well, yes." was the reply. "Dr. Samuel C. Hooker, who is one of our directors, a technical man from Philadelphia, is now in charge, and he has been engaged in reorganizing the force under him. As you may imagine, a shake-up in the plant was sorely needed.

A terrible condition of affairs existed there which even we knew nothing of, and we have worked during the investigation in complete harmony with the district attorney." Despite the fact that Mr. Donner deprecated the importance of the held by Bendernagel, it can be stated on competent authority that during the life of H. O. Havemeyer no one the big Eastern District plant stood close son to the head of the so-called trust as Mr. Bendernagel.

He grew up with the business and he is now in possession of number of complimentary letters written him by the late Mr. Havemeyer. A few months ago Mr. Bendernagel was plump and in apparently the best of health; but to-day he is haggard looking and thin, as though he had gone through a terrible siege of mental anguish and pain. With the resignation of Mr.

Bendernagel are those of John James, chief engineer, and William Sleming, chief of construction. These resignations follow close on the heels of those tendered last week by Ernest K. Gerbracht, superintendent of the big plant, and Frank Wenzel, his confidential man. And these in turn followed the dismissal of Oliver Spitzer, who was in charge of all of the docks. Spitzer was one of the Arst men to be indicted in the recent Government investigation and prosecution by which the trust was compelled to make restitution to the Government.

In referring to the Sun's alleged expose of the thievery of the trust through toms frauds Mr. Dinner said: "That is all old stuff, two years old. don't see why the Sun should bring it up at this time again. It's all about those crooked scales on the docks. All that was settled long ago.

A great many people are of the impression that we ought to be eager to defend ourselves. I assure you we are not. The crooked scales were found. Conditions were uncovered that were a terrible. The disclosures were quite ag much of a surprise to us as to the We have no defense or excuse to public.

offer, don't you know." Government Mulcted in All Sugar Shipments. From other than official sources the Eagle has acquired some knowledge of the process of weighing and passing sugar through the customs house. The Eagle's informant for many years up to 1900 was actively engaged in the sugar transportation company, and he made the bald statement this morning that the government was always mulcted on every shipment of sugar received at the port of New York. The mulcting was not only done through short-weights, but also by crooked tests. According to this man, not more than ten per cent.

of the bags, barrels or hogsheads of sugar are weighed out of any one consignment. He said that it would be a physical impossibility to each and every bag or even large fractions of the total shipments that are received. Bags weigh anywhere from 116 to 130 pounds and hogsheads anywhere from 1,500 to 2,000 pounds. From the weighing of ten per cent. of the original packages in which the raw sugar is contained, an average weight for all of the bags is ascertained, "We used to give our cooper anywhere from $10 to $50 per consignment," said the Eagle's informant, "to hand out to the government weighers so that they would scale down the average weight.

A half pound or a pound knocked off. a bag would mean a great saving in the entire consignment. We never kept any record of the money expended in this way, and there is absolutely no way of proving where it went. We always more than recovered it. however, in figuring the duty we had to pay."
