aad Bart Baled and tli Tip Tard" FlowrUhed Dmoera Sentiment Growing. Peace now spread her white wing over that put of thla city which la designated on th political map of the town aa the Twelfth Assembly District. And It Is a part of th town that. In the matter of local politics, has been a seat of unrelenting war, rather than an abode of peace. In th past It waa a district full of political atones.

It la a district where the business of local politics haa developed the most re-tnarkabl affections among; men and hatreds of the most unrelenting sort. Th new Twelfth District la made up largely of that famous turbulent and Interesting old district, the Sixteenth the far-famed "Gas House District," th district of the tlmehonored Pipe Yard." the bailiwick In which the lamented Gen. Bplnola, he of the mighty collar, was once supreme; the place wherein Maurice J. Power, who 'was afterward so conspicuous as th leader of the County Democracy, was one th leader of the Tammany forces; the district where the late and much lamented Edward P. Hagan held power, and larg power, through nothing but his great personal popularity at.

first, and CliarlM r. Mnrphy. afterward with this wonderful personal popularity, backed up by the authority of leadership, which Tammany Hail In other day was compelled to give him. It is probably true, as It la now claimed In the district, that Edward P. Hagan had the largest personal following of any Tammany Hall leader.

Why," said one of the Id-timer up there to a reporter for The New-York. Times yesterday, "Mr. Hagan eould get almost as many votes and he had nearly a many friends, when he had not a dollar In his pocket and not a bit of pat- TWELFTH ASSEMBLY DISTRICT.

Then, too. this old Sixteenth District waa the theatre of the work of that well-known Republican leader, Michael Cregan.

Cregan, like Splnola, Hagan, and some of the others who made local political history interesting In that locality, has gone over to the majority that never decreases the only majority that all politicians concede to be always and steadily upon the Increase. The recollection of the famous controversy In which the Splnola-Rlce campaign for Congress embroiled Cregan is still fresh In the minds of the people. How the Republican County Committee put Cregan upon the rack for his alleged work for Splnola as against Rice, how Cregan was disciplined and died, so his friends say, of a broken heart, is all of such recent date that it needs no rehearsal here. One more rally, boys; one more rally, and the ripe Yard Is ours." That was Oen. Splnola's cry and the cry Of the Tammany folk of the district in the days when the County Democracy and the Republicans were more powerful in the old sixteenth, the predecessor of the present Twelfth, than they are now.

Many a time waa the famous collar of Splnola flashed through that district, erect In victory, but sometimes It was wilted by defeat. The high collar of Splnola Is just as much a part of the history of the district as the Oai House and the Pipe Yard." It Is a memory now, but even those who fought against gallant Old Spin in his district fights cherish it. The "Pipe Yard" Is the place In which th Department of Public Works stores its sewer pipes. For a laboring man to get a place in the "Pipe Yard" meant a season of comfort for him. "Why.

all we had to do when we got a Job In the Pipe Yard waa to see that the blue-bottled files did not eat up the big pipes," said the old-timer yesterday. This patronage In the -pipe Yard" was once controlled by the County Democracy. Hence the Tammany cry of "One more rally, and the 'Pipe Yard' is ours." Imagine Old Spin singing that out at the top of his voice. It was a regular broadside sent out from over the fortress of that mighty collar. Oen.

Splnola dethroned Maurice J. Power as the Tammany leader of the old Sixteenth. Kdwarxl P. Hagan dethroned Bplnola. Death dethroned Hagan and turned the leadership Into the hands of his trusted friend In wet and dry weather, Charles F.

Murphy, the present leader of the Twelfth Assembly District in Tammany HalL It is Interesting to go back a little In the history of the old "Oas House" district. Early in the seventies Maurice J. Power was powerful there as the Tammany chieftain, having the advice and support of Edward Coop-r. Dissatisfaction sprung up in 1874. and the opposition to the powers that were was headed by Oen.

Splnola. It was resolved to submit the matter to the voters TO OUR READERS For the purpose of siding the readers of The Times to purchase their newspaper with unfailing regularity, whether In the city or In the country, whether on steamboat (ir on railroad train, or at the Summer 9 th Publisher of The New-York Times; A copy of your paper could not be had at The reason assigned by him was. Be parV'cular to Indicate If this occurs on a railroad train or steamboat, and to give suiheieat information to facilitate the In of the district and th result waa one of the biggest primaries ever held In thla city. It was held In the Fall of 187f In John ullage's feed store at ttl East Twenty-second Street. Th Tammany Committee on Organisation appointed Police Justice Patrick Uavan Duffy to act aa its Inspector.

Robert C. Knnever was the inspector for the Power faction, and Frank A. O'Donnell was the Inspector for the Splnola faction. Nearly 4,000 votes were cast at this primary. The line was formod at 12 o'clock noon, and arrangements were made by caterers to furnish coffee and sandwiches to the men who were waiting to vote.

The primary was a good-natured affair for a primary, and Splnola won by about 500 votes. The district was then reorganised by Tammany Hall, with Splnola and his friends In control. It was not long afterward that Edward P. Hagan's power began to be felt In the district. His leaning waa always toward Tammany Hall, but Oen.

Splnola waa somewhat afraid of his popularity. At times Hagan was In the organisation and at times out of It. He was elected to the Assembly for seven terms. Sometimes he ran on the Tammany ticket sometimes on the opposition-ticket In he won his election to the Assembly despite the opposition of Tamany HalL Soon afterward he was taken Into the Tammany organization, and he at once became a potent factor In the organisation. There were a number of his friends, men who had stood by him through thick and thin, whom he wanted to get Into Tammany with htm.

Gen. Splnola did not approve. Then began the struggle for the mastery, and this had a result in another famous primary election. It was held In the Fall of 1888 in Stuyvesant Hall, 343 East Seventeenth Street Gen. Splnola's Inspectors were on duty.

Many stories are told as to what actually took place. One Is to the effect that the Splnola men got possesion of the hall in which the primary was being held and that they proposed to delay matters so that the Hagan forces, who were waiting their chance outside to vote, could not do so before the polls were closed. The Hagan men broke Into the room, the Splnola Inspectors Jumped out of the back windows, and the Hagan men reorganized the primary. The Splnola forces withdrew, and there was no definite result from the primary. The matter was then submitted to the Tammany Committee on Organisation, and a Committee on Reorganization was appointed.

The result was that Mr. Hagan was made leader of the district He never lost a battle after that When he died, early this year, his death plunged the whole district in grief. In the way of personal popularity he waa a most remarkable man. After his death his friends raised a fund of nearly S25.0U0 tor bis widow and child. The question as to who his successor as leader of the new Twelfth District should be was very soon decided.

There waa little or no opposition to the selection of Charles F. Murphy, who had been Mr. Hagan's trusted friend for years. His place of business Is at Twentieth Street and Second Avenue. Alderman William H.

Murphy Is his brother, and. like Leader Mur-thy. Alderman Murphy was very close to Mr. Hagan. Assemblyman Frank A.

O'Donnell was another one of the men who always stood close to Mr. Hagan. Mr. O'Donnell never left Tammany Hall, but In the days when Mr. Hagan was on the outside," he waa always trying to get him Inside." Deader Murphy is now doing his utmost to secure the nomination for Senator to succeed Thomas Cunningham, who waa Senator Hagan's successor, for Mr.

O'Donnell, and the chances are reasonably good. Certain it is that the Tammany organization of the new Twelfth Assembly District is in splendid shape. The young men appear to be in control and they all work in complete harmony with Leader Murphy. As nearly aa can be ascertained now, there are no Tammany dissensions in the district. The General Committee of Tanunany has more than 300 members in the Twelfth, the District Committee about 1,000.

Thi Chairman of the General Committee is John Mullane. the Vice-Presidents are John B. Doerr and Warden O'Rourke of Belle-vue Hospital, the Secretaries are P. A. Whitney and John J.

McGrath, two old-timers in the lights in this district and the Treasurer Is James Smith. The Chairman of the District Committee is Edward C. Foley. The headquarters of the Tammany organization in the Twelfth are at 326 East Twenty-first Street. In Gramercy HalL The largest Democratic club In the district is the Onawanda.

which now occupies a house at 348 Second Avenue, and which grew up from a small social club which was started about twenty years ago. The election district Captains In the Twelfth Assembly District are first-rate, according to all the testimony, and, besides, there Is a very large number of influential men In the district who aid Mr. Murphy very largely In his work In the district Included In the list of Tammany's conspicuous men In the Twelfth are Senator Thomas Cunningham, who has declined the chance of a renominatlon for the Senate and who hopes to see Mr. O'Donnell nominated; John B. Doerr, James Smith, John Hanley, Nathan Fernbacher, Commissioner Christopher Wehrum of the Board of Education, Commissioner of Accounts Charles G.

F. Wahle. Phl)p Donohue Peter Murray, Walter Byrne, who succeeded Mr. Hagan In the Assembly, and who is now Assistant Secretary of the Board of Electrical Control; William Meehan, Major Duffy of the Sixty-ninth Regiment Civil Justice Lachmann, Edward C. Stone.

Deputy Attorney General William J. Lardner. Patrick Craig, William Padlan, ex-Judge William H. Kelly, Michael J. Langan, James W.

Oerard, John Kelly, Edward B. Lafetra, Frank Hovey, Leopold Worms, Peter Lawler, Capt James Daly, John J. Murphy, Patrick J. Cody, John Doran, Isaac H. Dahlmaiiii, Thomas Crawford, Robert De Witt, Bryan Henry, William Kenney, Martin Horan, and Lawrence Collins.

Chief Clerk Michael F. P.lake of the Board of Aldermen won his political spurs In the old Gas House district but the reapportionment placed him In the new Tenth District where he has become an able lieutenant of ex-Register John Kellly. Speaking of the new Twelfth District Leader Charles F. Murphy said: It is Democratic: the drift of sentiment Is all Democratic, and you can depend upon It that the Twelfth District will keep up Its average of Democratic pluralities. The population of our district is cosmopolitan, but I have noticed that Democratic principles are always making good headway, and I believe that they will continue to do bo." Haverly Only Crazy After Money.

A sensational story waa published yesterday to the effect that J. H. Haverly, the Chicago theatrical manager, was a paretic and that he was confined In a Western asylum for the insane. Patrick Sheedy, the well-known sporting man, was said to have given this information to a party of friends on Broadway Saturday evening. Mr.

Sheedy said to a reporter for The New York Times last night This story Is absolutely falne. I never said Mr. Haverly was a paretic and I know he is not. The whole thing came from a man who is deaf and who Imagined I made the statement to him. Mr.

Haverly, like everybody else In Chicago, Is crazy after money. That Is ail I said about him." Good Advico for Young Man. C. E. Wilde, who was for seventeen years a manager and buyer for the late A.

T. Stewart spoke to young men at Association Hall yesterday afternoon, his subject being Men Wanted." Mr. Wilde said that there were too many men in the rising generation that lacked character. He severely scored the mania for racetrack gambling and said more young men owed their downfall to that than to any other vice, except Intemperance. Miss Bessie H.

Mecklara, saxaphone soloist and H. Mecklam. harpist, took part in the services. The Rev. Madison C.

Peters of the Bloomingdale Reformed Dutch Church, will address the young men next Sunday. Hayes Will Hold His Place. PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 24.

BURGLAR CAUGHT IN A TRAP FELL INTO AIT AEEA TJNDEB THE WDTDOW OF DE. EITDEES'S FLAT. The Area Was It Feet Deep Whan He Climbed Cp by the 'Side the Little Janitor Poshed Him Back Dr. ad era Heard Him in th Halt, Chased Him with an Unloaded Pistol, and Grappled with Him at tfar Window by Which He Had Entered. Dr.

Thomas B. Enders, of 163 West On Hundred and Twenty-jlrst Street, who Is six feet tall In his stockings, had an exciting experience yesterday morning with a burglar six feet two Inches in height. Dr Enders Is a young man. He and his friend, Mr. Franklin, occupy the ground flat of the apartment house on the northeast corner of Seventh Avenue and One Hundred and Twenty-first Street.

The flat extends along the street. Last night Dr. Enders left the window of his reception roomup a few inches. The window' overlooks the area, which la so narrow that a man can step from the street across It to the window sllL Dr. Enders was awakened about 6 o'clock yesterday morning by a shuffling noise in the private hall of the flat Without disturbing Mr.

Franklin. Dr. Enders sat bolt upright In his folding bed and peered Into the halL There was no light except that which came through the windows from the electric lamps In the street, and it was some moments before the half-awakened doctor could see anything. Meanwhile, the rustling, shuffling noise in the private hall continued. In the dim light the doctor made out a dark shadow on the opposite side of the halL The shadow extended about three feet up from the floor and traveled slowly along the walL It passed before the door of the bedroom and went on toward the reception room.

Without making any noise. Dr. Enders crept out of bed and into the adjoining room, and fumbled around for a match. Armed with the match, he stepped softly back into the bedroom and took down an old-fashioned horse pistol a nail on the walL With the murderous pistol which was empty In one hand and the match In the other. Dr.

Enders reached the door of the bedroom without attracting the burglar's attention. Striking the match, he sprung Into the hall, and with a loud cry to stand and deliver he pointed the empty pistol at the burglar, who was crawling down the hall toward the reception room on his hands and knees. With a shout the burglar arose to his feet and dashed Into the reception room, making for the window overlooking: the Brett. Dr. Enders raji after him, snapping his empty pistol, and caught him before he could get out of the window.

For five mlnutea the doctor and the burglar struggled in the reception room, without either saying a word. The doctor Is a sinewy man, but the burglar was equally sinewy and had the advantage of. two Inches In height. The men struck each other with their flats about the head and body.
