He asked for the following additional cmiiloycs in the a-'njshouse; Two orderlies, two hospita: help- ^ers, two engineers, two firemen and one clerk, making a total salary list of SG.138. These ■were required, ho e.xfjJained. to comply nutb the labor law and to look after the sick lie hospital there. Mr. Feeney also wanted a m o rgue and a m orgue .keeper. ‘T suppose you’ll have to get a morgue if you appoint a m o rgue.keeper,” said the Mayor. F ire • C ommissioner Scannell presented the Fire D epartm ent estim a te for M anhattan and the Bronx.

Mr. Scannell said the old fire boat Havemeyer was no .use’ whatever. He was told all the in creases of present employes salaries would be disallowed. Mr. Scannell said a large part of the salary increase was mandatory. He also needed a num b e r of new men in the depart ment for its extension. ' The Brookl>Ti and Queens estim a te was presented by Deputy Commissioner Tully, who asked hDr $1,895,795.52. an increase of $247,603,87. Most of this sum was for new men required. At headquarters Mr. Tully said ho needed a bookkeeper, two clerks and an engineer to replace uniformed men.

There are two points on each charge; that is .Mr. Doggelt is accused, first, of having taken the letters m entioned from the letter carrier, without authority from the person concerned, and, secondly, of having in each case destroyed the letter.^. The letter to Professor B e rnhardt, accord ing to the indictm ent, was taken on Septem ber 19, and I’nat for Professor Byrue on June 9. Professor Byrne and Professor B e rnhardt were both seen this afternoon by an Eagle reporter, but they refused to say anything b u t they refused to a ’oout the case whatever.

Superintendent of Elec tions lor the nietropoliian election district, announced to-day th a t he had in his possec- slon evidence of violations of law at the p r i m ary election on Septem ber 19 last in the N inth Assembly D istrict of M anhattan, where John C. Sheehan is leader. Mr. McCullagh stated that, he had conferred with the A ttor ney G eneral wii'n a view of having the Gover nor appoint a special term of the Suprem e Court to investigate the cases. Leader Sheehan, who won a t the prim a ry election, defeating his opponent in Tam m any Hall, sent a letter to Mr. McCullagh on Monday com p laining of violations of law by election officer.s and asserting th a t “ the elec tion officers were undoubtedly aided anti abetted in their efforts to override the law ' dv parties higher up. and it seem s to me th a t if the cases are energetically ptished such parties may be brought to the surface and punished.” Superintendent McOullagli replied to Mr. Sheehan, statin g that the evidence subm itted by him fuliy ccri’oboruled the charges made and that the m a tter should have his imme diate attention. Mr. McCullagh to-day defined his position in the m a tter referred to. He said th a t last year he paid no attention vvhatever to the prim a ry election, but that under an am end ment to the election law. chapter 302. Laws of 1899. he had the power to investigate any violation of the prim ary election laws. Mr. McCuilagb further stated that he would ask the A ttorney General. Mr. Davies, to designuic one of h is (the .M torney’s) depu ties to act as counsel in proaeciitliig the Xiiuh D istrict cases, .^iich deputy attorney, Mr. Mu- Cullagh said, would have power to empldy other ■•ouns«?l to assist him and could call upon rhe Distri.;t .Mtorney of Xew York Poum y and any of bi.s asslstanis as w«?li as the pvlice officials to aid him. On Thursday night the Democrats will nom inate Municipal Court justices in the five districts of the borough. The men now slated for the places are the following: F irst D istrict—John J. Walsh. Second D istrict—John Xaumer. Third D istrict—'William J. Lynch, F o u rth D istrict—.\dolpb Goetting. F ifth D istrict—Cornelius Furgueson. There may be one change in this slate, but even th a t is not probable. The F ir s t D istrict is Dem ocratic by a large m a jority and the Third and F ifth ought to elect the Dem ocratic candidates. The Second is Republican by several thousand votee, while the F o u rth m ay be carried- by t ’ne Dem ocrats, ; Uhough the chances favor the Utpubllcans. The F ir s t D istrict com prises the F irst, Sec ond, Third, Fourth. F ifth, Sixth, T e n th and Tw elfth W ards; the Second, the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth. E leventh, Twentieth, Twenty- first. Twenty-second and T w e n ty-third; the Third, the T h irteenth. Fourteenth, F ifteenth. Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Nine teenth; t ’ne F o u rth, the Tvventy^fourth, Twen ty-fifth, Twenty-sixth. Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eignth; the Fifth, the Tw enty-ninth, T h irtieth, T h ir ty-first and Thirty-second. The one district in which there may be a change in the slate is the Third. Almost every ward there has a candidate. John J. W alsh, who is selected lo be the candidate in the F irst D istrict, Is at present an assistan t corporation counsel. H is father, the late .Andrew 'Walsh, was for m any years judge of the City Hall district police court. When he died his son. then a very young man. was appointed to serve out the father's unexpired term . Then he was reappointed for a full term . W hen the Democratic party re turned to power In 1898 Judge W alsh was made an assistan t corporation counsel. He lives in the F ifth W ard and has been for years one of the lieutenants of the Second .Assembly D istrict leader, John M. Clancy. John Xaum nr is a resident of the Twenty- third Ward. He is the law partner of Cor rections Com m issioner Adolph Simis. He has never been p a r ticularly prom inent in poli tics. W illiam J. Lynch, who is most likely to win the nom ination in the Third D istrict, Is deputy county clerk, a position which he has held for many years. .Adolph Goetting. form erly a police justice. ; is now the civil justice in the Fourth Dis trict. having been appointed by M ayor Van Wyck. He is a German. Cornelius Furgueson, also t^pointed a m uni cipal court justice for the F ifth D istrict by Mayor Van W yck. ha.s a large following in his section of the borough and ought to win. G o etting will have a hard fight on his hands, but If he secures the German vote, or a large part of ic. h is chances of succes.«= will be good. The candidates on the Democratic county ticket are all preparing to make a stiff fight. Mr. H u b erty said this m o rning that he had not decided w h e ther to open headquarters down town or not. It is probable, however, th a t he will. Senator M cCarren was not a t the auction room to-day. As he has not been th e r e for about a week his absence caused some com m e n t. To an E a g le reporter, who found him a t his office the Senator said; “ I have been kept here by im p o rtant busi ness. I believe the courlly ticket is a good one and I shall of course give it my hearty support. I,alw a y s support the nominees of the p a r ty .” ''C o n t in u e d F r o m P a g e 1.

The Republican organization men are in high feather to-day and th e .c o u n t y candi dates feel t h a t they w ill win. One of the Re publican leaders tried t o place a .b e t on Con gressm an Howe against J. M orrlsey Gray for. R e g is ter and a D em o cratic friend refused to put up, he said.

Last night a t the m e e ting of the executive com m ittee the L ieutenant Governor touched upon toe m a tter, and, a f t e r addressing the members, read to them a very long circular, which is now being printed and which is to be sent to the enrolled Republican voters. It calls atten tio n to the possible apathy in the party and cautions them n o t only to vote them selves, but to use th e ir influence in bring ing o u t others. It begs them to w'ork harder than ever because of this apathy, and shows how victory th i s year in K ings County, and, < in fact, in every county, for the Republican party will be, in a sense, an indorsem e n t of hoyever, rain or shine*.If; they have to ‘‘hire special trolley care.\ T h e O ther D istricts, ju s tice Van W a rt is sure in the Second D is trict.

The death of Mrs. S t r a t ford is attended by circum stances of a pa thetic nature.

Mr. Dady also moved th a t at least four m ass m e e tings be held during the cam p aign 'an d th a t other m e e tings be left to the dlscre- t'on of the com m ittee on speakers and to the candidates them selves. T h is m o tion m e t with some opposition. C h a irm a n 'Woodruff him self spoke against the m a ss m e e ting idea and said th a t he was naore in favor of getting right clown to the various d istricts and m a k ing a close canvass. It was pointed out t ’n a t the cam p aign m u st be m o re or less a personal one and the candidates them selves m u st go out and rouse up the voters in th e ir respec tive districts and all over th e city, rath e r than address a crowd, nine-tenths Republican, in a general m a s s meeting.

N e v e rtheless, in spite of the opposition by m any m em b ers, the motion made by Mr. Dady was carried. It 'w’as the sense of the m e e ting th a t w h ere issues were not essentially involved all the work should be done in th e districts and the m ain effort should be m a d e to get out th e votes. Then the L ieutenant G o vernor read his call to the enrolled voters for united and earnest efforts in t h a t direction. This w a s indorsed and o r dered printed.

It looks now' as if the fight ov’er the judicial nom ination in tho F o u rth D istrict to-night will be the m o st interesting th a t has taken place for some time. .A conference among the leaders is likely to take place this afternoon and the m a tter may be fixed up then, but it is not likely that any decisive compromise can be brought about. T h is m a tter practi cally absorbed the attention of the L ieuten ant Governor and the leaders of the wards af fected to-day. Trem e n d o u s w’ork has been done for the various candidates. Men have been sent to beg Lemon to w ithdraw so th a t Deubert can throw the whole strength of the Tw enty-eighth AVard for Schnitzspan. It is said th a t Lemon prom ised yesterday afternoon to throw his strength in spite of Deubert to W illiam s if th e first ballot showed his chances were gone. Chairm an AVoodruff now' stands for Schnitz- span on the ground th a t m o re men have seem ed to be for him than for any other man and that he apparently has th e support of the rank and file in the district. United States M arshal H a u b e rt, who up to a sh o r t tim e ago was talking of a dark horse in the Twenty- seventh, w ent ISO far this m o rning as to say that if Schnitzspan was not selected it m ight cost tho party the alderm a n lc and assem b ly elections and that the defeat of the people’s choice to-uight would be as great a m istake as the turning dow’U of Seth Low in the m ayoral ty cam paign. Sharkey still holds out for AVilUanis, although b itter com m ent is made upon the fact that Sharkey has now all he ought to have in the nom ination of Henry R.

If \Williams is taken from the sante district for the judicial nom ination leaders and party men do not hesitate to say it will cost a thousand votes, at least. In the other assem b ly districts.

Many of the resolu tions m et w’ith strong oppctsition and were not carried, but an interesting discussion took place over a resolution indorsing the police for th e ir good work. Councilman H o ttenroth offered th i s resolu tion, which called for a vote of thanks from the Council. Councilman Leich jum p ed up and said that he was very much opposed to the resolution and thought the police should be condemned rather than thanked as they were brutal to the extrem e and showed absolute in- curapetency. He said that they brutally tre a t ed men, women and children and showed con sideration for no one. “ Why, the police of New York,” the Coun cilman continued in indignant tones, “ were a disgrace to the city. They were abusive and brutal to men, women and c'nildren alike. Nobody could get to the stands though they m ight have tickets. My wife and family went up to the Fifty-ninth street stand and the policeman there refused tc^ perm it them to enter. They showed their tickets, Issued by the Municipal Assembly and the policeman said they were no good.

P e ter Saponara, pastor of the Church of Our Lady of M o unt Carmel, N o rth E ighth street, near Union avenue, in the E a s tern District. The priest went into spiritual retreat last Monday at Brentwood, L. 1., and will rem ain there until Saturday next. F a th e r Saponara is the pioneer Italian priest of the Eastern D istrict. On his advent in the district about twelve years ago the Italians had no place of worship of their own. Tho priest was warm ly welcomed in the neighbor hood, which has since com e to be known as the Italian colony. The Italians rallied round him and soon provided the money to build a. church and rectory. The Italian population of the F o u rteenth and F ifteenth wards is now estim ated a t 3,000-to 4.000. F a ther Saponara is 53 years of age. H® was ordained by the Bishop of Spilatric, prov ince of Tricarica, Italy, October 4, 1874. H® came to this country in the following year. His first assignm ent was to the Church of the Epiphany in M anhattan, of which the Rev. Dr. BurtseJl was then rector. F a ther Saponara remained hero three years. He next went to St. Mary’s Church, Staten Island, as assistant to the Rev. John liewis. H e remained there seven years. Then F a ther Saponara returned to Italy for rest and recuperation. He came to this country in 1887. NO C R IM E TO SIG N CHECKS. S. L. M e rshon, C o n v icted o f F o r g e r y , I s D isch a r g e d b y th e A p p e llate Court. The appellate division of the Supreme Court has reversed the conviction of Stephen L. Mershon, president of the Hudson River Palm. Company of Newburgh, for forgery in the third degree, and ordered his discharge. He was convicted of signing a check, as pres ident. in alleged violation of an agreem ent that checks should be signed only with the concurrence of persons Interested in the company. Justice W oodward, w riting the opinion. s a 5 's that the dem u rrer originally Interposed should have been sustained, ns Mershon did only what he had a rig h t to do. The verdict of the jury, he says, m u st have been the result of malice, as the verdict was clearly against the weight of evidence. by .’Assistant D istrict .Attorney Naylor, the candidate for the judgeship in the Tw enty- fourth W ard, throwing hlj- votes after the first ballot for Schnitzspan. On the other hand, it Is contended th a t he cannot throw the votes of the T w e n ty-fourth W ard; that an arrangem e n t is already made by the T w e n ty-fourth W ard delegation whereby. In return for th e ir support for W illiam s, S h a r key is to support form e r Sheriff R h inehart as a delegate to the national convention next year. Schnitzspan is snid to have eigluy-one votes in the Tw enty-eighth W a rd out of 115, and it is believed that D eubert will come out strongly for Schnitzspan to-night, though w h ether he can control tho fifteen or twenty votes Lemon is expected to have is an open question. One hundred and fifty votes are expected for W illiam s on the first ballot, ICO for Schnitzspan. Then the whole thing will depend upon who will capture the m a jority of the votes cast for the low m en. It Is believed th a t the strong outside elem ent for Schnitzspan and the fact th a t the m a n a g e rs believe his nom ination is the best thing for the county ticket will influence the m inor candidates to have an eye to the future by throw'ing th e ir votes where the big leaders want them.
