Leader James Bouck of the Fourth Assembly District said this morning: "I have selected Assembly and Aldermanic (candidates, but if I tell who they are now the delegates to the convention may take offense at their selection in advance of the convention and turn me down." No selections have been made in the Fifth, Tenth, Sixteenth or Seventeenth districts. Ex Assemblyman Griggs or A. Johnson will probably be nominated for aMerman in the First District. James J.

A strange accident occurred at 11:50 o'clock this forenoon at the corner of Jay and Fulton streets. A car on the Smith street line, bound for Coney Island, had crossed Fulton street when an overhead wire broke and fell to the ground. Dr. Harry Enton of 34ft Clinton street, was crossing Fulton street at the same time. The end of the wire struck his hat and the doctor staggered and would have fallen had not passersby caught him just as he was sinking.

He was led to the sidewalk and a seat procured for him. lie A as very pale and was evidently suffering from extreme prostration, due to the shook. It is believed that had he worr. a soft felt hat ho would have been killed. As the wire struck the ground there was a succession of explosions.

The cable emitted streaks of brilliant, blue light wherever it cacne In contact with the ground and for a while there was evidence of, an incipient panic among the pedestrians. The passengers on the car were frightened and a rush for the doors, but the motonnan on front and the conductor in the rear, blocked the passageways assured the passengers that there was no danger. There was energy enough In the overhead wire to take the car over to the south sid, of Fulton street and thence It proceeded without further accident to its destination. Dr. Enton, It was found, could walk with difficulty, and It was found necessary to telephone for his carriage to take him home.

He seemed to revive after a while and It is believed that the injury is only temporary. The only mark that he bears is a slight scar, about one and a half inches In length, across his forehead. The wire in passing touched him llgbtlv on the forehead. DONNA MARIA RELEASED. The steamship Donna Maria, which was seized by the United States marshal on a libel sworn out by Otto Davison for $10,000 for personal Injuries, was this morning bonded and released.

President York Anxious to Install Brooklyn's Police Signal Service in Manhattan. MR. GUILFOYLE'S DEMANDS. Building Commissioner Says It Is Impossible to Do His "Work. With Present Force.

The Board of Estimate to day considered the estimates of the Health, Police and Building Departments. The heads of thoso departments were informed, as were others, yesterday that no elty employes need expect to get bigger salaries next year. President Murphy of the Health Board was present. The department wanted an increase of $55,221.01 more than allowed this year. The total asked for was $1,167,159.50.

Mr. Murphy said at the start if no salaries were to be raised the sum of $46,235.35 could be stricken out of his estimate. This would reduce the department's demands to a $10,000 Increase to be used for cleaning the beaches In summer. The Mayor agreed to this and the items were accordingly passed over. Mr.

Murphy then put in a demand for $15,000 for additional clerk hire in Brooklyn. A terrible condition existed there, he said, as a result of tho White, civil service law. He had sent men over from the main office to help out and last summer thirteen milk Inspectors had been detailed to work in Brooklyn. Mr. Murphy wanted to raise the Brooklyn sanitary superintendent's salary from $3,500 to $5,000, because he was a charter officer.

The extra clerk hire for Brooklyn will probably be allowed. Mr. Murphy said he could get along with that amount. President York of the Police Board was present to explain the police budget. Its total was $12,347,952.92, an increase of $515,556, 02 over this year's.

Mr. York said no increases In salaries were provided except such as compelled by the law. He asked to pay the members of the uniformed force the sum of $10,771,350. This amount would permit the filling of all grades of the force and would be exactly the sum required to meet the salaries of the full complement of uniformed men. It would permit the employment of men to fill vacancies in the ranks of patrolmen, roundsmen, sergeants and captains.

There are eleven captains' vacancies, nearly sixty sergeants', about twenty roundsmen and fifty patrolmen. Mr. York's budget in detail showed the Increases due to rise in grade of men in the force and tho existing vacancies. He wants to get the force all filled with a full strength of 6.3S2 patrolmen and a total uniformed force of 7,631 and to keep it full. He aBked for six steam launches at $5,000 each, declaring those now in use unsafe and disgraceful.

There ought to be twenty instead of only six to properly police the city's waters and shores. Another new item was $146,000 for the installation of a signal telegraph and telephone system. Mr. York said there was no system In Manhattan, but a perfect one in Brooklyn. During the recent Dewey celebration the department had to erect stations and build signal lines all along the river front and the route of the land parade.

Thirty thousand dollars would be used. Mr. York explained, to equip nlaeteen precincts south of Twenty third street. He also intended to use a large sum in putting wires underground in Brooklyn. The Mayor asked if police wires in Brooklyn were worse than trolley wires.

Mr. York said no, but that the Department of Public Buildings, Lighting and Supplies was constantly demanding that wires be put underground. There was an increase shown id the Election Bureau's demands, due, Mr. York explained, to the fact that next year is a state and presidential election year and there will be double primaries with election advertising. When Mr.

York got through the Mayor asked if he could begin to put in a telegraph and telephone signal service for the monev he asked, and the former said he could. He stated that every time a Manhattan policeman wishes to communicate with headquarters he has to use a private service. The Building Department was next taken up. President Brady appeared with Commissioners Guilfoyle and Campbell. It asked for $87,900 more than was allowed this year, when an appropriation of $525,665 was granted.

One item was to increase the salary of the commissioner tor Queens and Richmond from $3,500 to $7,000 to put him on an equality with the other two commissioners. Commissioner Guilfoyle. presenting the Brooklyn estimate, asked for $60,000 more than allowed this year, all to pay salaries of additional clerks and inspectors required on account or the large increase in work. Tho business of his department, had increased 65 per Mr. Guilfoyle said, since January, the amount of increase having been in actual figures.

He asked for three clerks, ten Inspectors of masonry and carpentry, three of iron and steel, ten of plumbing, three of elevators, three plumbing plan clerks, ten violation notice servers, one civil engineer, two stenographers and typewriters and two messengers Mr. Guilfoyk said It was physically impossible for his present force to do the large amount of work. He had one elevator inspector to inspect 1,452 elevators and one of his plumbing inspectors had to cover sixteen square miles and inspect 220 buildings daily. MUST PRODUCE THE BOOKS. Peremptory Order to Compel Silas B.

Dutcher of the Ramapo Company to Show Cause. A motion was made this morning before Justice William D. Dickey in Supreme Court special term, by Lawyer Naumburg, for a peremptory writ of mandamus to compel Silas B. Dutcher, as "president of the Ramapo Water Company, to produce the books of the company in court. When the motion was reached on the calendar Lawyer Henry L.

Seheuman, for defendant, applied for an adjournment, on the ground that the paper's did not reach him until yesterday afternoon and also that he had not had sufficient time to prepare for the opposition to the motion. The plaintiff. William R. Hearst, had appeared also in a motion In Xew York In a proceeding of a precisely similar character, and upon the same papers. The argument, he said, had been set down for to morrow In New York.

By the court Is that proceeding alive? Mr. Seheuman rt is very much alive. There is a stipulation in the ease to argue it tomorrow. By the court It was before the court in New York. I saw in tho newspapers that the judge refuBod to hear it? Mr.

Seheuman That is so. your honor, and Judge Giegerica has promised to hear it tomorrow. Mr. Naumburg There is no reason why the motion should not go on hero. The application Is precisely the same.

The motion is hero because the code says it must be in the county where the material facts arose. They arose in the county where the office Is, and the office is in Kings County. The other side is perfectly aware of the questions to be raised. By the court Would it not bo better to withdraw the New York motion? Mr. Seheuman There is a stipulation here by which the plaintiff agrees to argue the motion there to morrow.

By the court It seems to me that the jurisdiction is here, rather than there. Mr. Naumburg We have abandoned the proceedings in New York County. Mr. Seheuman They have not told me that they have abandoned It.

Mr. Naumburg The proceedings are the same, and the relief asked for is the same. The affidavits are a little different, but in reality the application is absolutely the same. Mr. Seheuman If they want to discontinue the application in New York, they must move to withdraw.

Justice Dickey Well, I will give you an order to show cause, returnable to morrow morning. I will hear the motion on Not Responsible for the Board of Children That Are Farmed Out. DRIVEN WELL SYSTEM SAVED. Decision in the Suit of the Merrick Water Company Favorable to the City. The Brooklyn office of the city's law department has been greatly interested in a number of decisions handed down by the Court of Appeals and the appellate division during the week.

In the decisions of the appellate division in Brooklyn Just published the city has won in three cases'out of four decided. Two were mandamus proceedings against the Police Board, in which the city was represented by Assistant Corporation Counsel in charge, William J. Carr; the other case was likewise a mandamus proceeding against the Commissioner of Charities of the Borough of Richmond to settle the right of the Richmond County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to children to compel the city to pay the board children under the custody of the society, but farmed out in families by the society. The city refused to pay and its action has been sustained by the courts. In this proceeding the city was represented by Assistant Corporation Counsel Luke D.

Stapleton. There were eight city cases from Brooklyn the Court of Appeals at the June ses sion of that court in Saratoga. Seven of these cases have been decided in the favor of the city and one is yet under consideration by the court. Mr. Carr represented the city in all these cases.

Some of the victories of the city are of the greatest legal and practical importance. The most noteworthy are the cases of Hendrickson against the city and the Merrick Water Company against the city. In the Hendrickson case the city sought to set aside a contract made in December, 1897, for electric light in the former Town of Jamaica for a term of ten years. The city contended that the town authorities were without power in December, 1897, to enter into any contracts to run beyond the life of the town, which was then limited to expire on January 1, 189S, when the Greater New York charter took effect. The controversy was of the greatest practical importance In view of the fact that many of the towns and villages about to enter the Greater New York had made innumerable contracts, involving millions of dollars, with an apparent intent to load them on the new city.

The questions of law raised were novel and entirely without precedent. Mr. Carr handled the case for the city from the beginning. The city was defeated at the trial before the special term of the Supreme Court in June, 1898. The city won on the appeal to the appellate division, Justice Bartlett writing the opinion of the court.

The Court of Appeals has just affirmed this decision. The Merrick Water Company case is one of a series which is causing considerable labor and anxiety for the law department of the city. Nearly one half of the water used in Brooklyn is obtained by use of the driven well system, by which subterranean waters are pumped into the city's reservoirs and conduits. In the last few years hundreds of actions have been brought against the city by propeity owners, who claimed that their wells and ponds have been drained by the powerful steam pumps of the city. If their claims are sustained by the Court of Appeals it means a necessary abandonment of the driven well system by the city and an immediate crippling of the available water supply.

The Merrick Water Company claimed that the city's pumps at the Merrick pumping station cut off the company's supply. The Appellate Division held that as the city and the company weTe engaged in the same business of diverting underground percolating waters, the rights of both parties were equal and the courts would not interfere. This decision has just been affirmed by the Court of Appeals and tho city is free for the present from the claims of water companies. The main question involving the city's right to divert underground waters to the injury of private owners generally is still before the Court of Appeals I awaiting decision, although it was also argued at tne June term by Mr. Carr for the city and Mr.

George Wallace Tor the plaintiff, in the case of Smith against the City of Brooklyn. The failure to Include this case among those decided on Tuesday last would Indicate that the Court of Appeals considers the question not free from doubt. This incident would seem to favor the city, as it was beaten before the appellate division. Since "January 1 of this year the Court of Appeals has decided nineteen city cases, coming up I from Brooklyn, and in ail of which Mr. Carr represented the city before that court.

The city has won in sixteen out of the nineteen. The work of the Law Department is con stantly increasing. The consolidation of the cities will furnish litigation for many years i to come. So far the city has fared very well in its litigations, and Corporation Coun sel Whalen points with pride to the result, The excellent record made by the officials of the office Is due to the indefatigable work of I Mr. Carr and the fact that he takes a very deep interest In every litigation in which the office Is concerned.

MR. ROSSITER'S REPLY. Claims He Is Making Every Effort to Put On Closed. Cars. The question of open trolley cars which has been worrying the traveling public of Brooklyn for the past few days, or In fact since the last cold spell, was the principal matter considered by President Clinton L.

Rossiter this morning. Health Commissioner Robert A. Black's communication to President Rossiter yesterday regarding the operation of open cars during this season of the year, brought out a reply this morning from the railroad president. According to the letter from the Health Deportment, the Railroad Company had until this morning at 10:45 o'clock to put on a sufficient number of closed cars. Dr.

Black threatened to carry the case to the courts If his mandate was not obeyed. As stated in yesterday's Eagle, the railroad company is endeavoring to get all of its lines equipped with closed cars in operation. Few complaints have been received since yesterday regarding the open cars. President Rosslter's letter in reply to Commissioner Black this morning, was as follows: October 5. 1S39.

Mr. It. A. Black, Assistant Sanitary Superintend ant. Brooklyn.

New York: Dear sir I have yours of the 3d inst. and regret ine necessity tor any complaint regarding the operation of open cars at the present time. In March last, immediately after the acquisition by this company of the Nassau system, nil order was placed for large, standard, double truck, closer cars and for tt'O new motors. These were all to have heen delivered during the months of August and September, under a penalty, and should be In service on the road at the present time. OwlnE to the frreat difficulty in securing material throughout the country, the builders have been ve ry slow in the shipment of ears, but they are coming: forward now rapidly, and we are adding" to our equipment from fifteen to twenty cars dully.

Within less than three weeks we shall have no open cars whatever runnlnp; on teh road. We shaii have a. finer and better class of car equipment thun has ever been run over the Brooklyn lines, and 1 am contldent that there will be very little cause for complaint. I would add that even though the cars above referred to have been delayed in comlnft to us, between Go and 70 per cent, of our present total service Is closed car equipment, and If the public arc willing to wait a reasonable time there Is no reason why they cannot secure In every case a closod car. I regret to say, however, that we have had other complaints from our pntrons, and in order that the public may be advised of the situation, I have given a copy of this letter to tho press.

Trusting there will be no further cause for comnlalnt. yours respectfully, C. ROSSITER. President. MOVEMENTS OF OCEAN VESSELS.

from Llveroool. Noted Anti Expansionist Said to Contemplate an Investigation in the Islands. REV.P.S. GRANT TO GO WITH HIM Start Will Probably Be No Later Than October 16, and tne Itinerary Will Include Honolulu. It is stated on good authority that the Right Rev.

Henry C. Potter, Bishop of the Diocese of New York, Is to visit the Philippines, going first to Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands. With this Information, it 1b further stated that he has Invited to accompany him the Rev. Percy 6. Grant, rector of the Church of the Ascension, at Fifth avenue and West Tenth street, Manhattan.

Neither the Bishop nor Mr. Grant could be een this morning. At the Diocesan House, 29 Lafayette place, the Bishop's secretary, Dr. Kelson, said he had had no conversation with the Bishop as to a visit to the Philippines, but it was understood that he was to go to Honolulu. The House of Bishops will meet In St.

Louis the latter part of this month, Where the General Missionary Council is to Photo Bishop Henry C. Potter, Who. It is Said. Will Visit, the Philippines. be held, and Dr.

Nelson thought the Bishop would go thera. the rectory of the Church of the Ascension it was learned that the Rev. Mr. Grant wae preparing to go away on a long Journey and was very busy. It waa asked if he wa.s going to the Philippines, and the answer was that that was believed to be the objective point and that he was to accompany Bishop Potter, but it was not known positively.

From what could be learned in other directions, It can almost safely be said that Bishop Potter will sail at an early date for the Phll lrpines, probably not later than October 16, going, as stated, first to Honolulu. The fact of his going is important, as he has been for some time an avowed anti expansionist, and has written and spoken much upon the subject. What he has bad to say has attracted wide attention. It is said that, the Bishop has often expressed a desire to visit the acquired territory and a number of his clerical friends believe thaT'ho will come back ardently in favor of expansion. GLUCKATTF'S SUICIDE.

Rheumatism and Failing Business Said to Be the Cause. There is now no doubt entertained by the relatives of Philip Jacques Gluckauf, a tailor, of 177 Stockton street, in the Eastern District, that he committed suicide as a result of the condition of his health and fear of imminent starvation. Coroner Delap has empaneled a Jury and will hold an inquest in the case. Gluckauf, who was a well known German and belonged to a number of societies, lived fcr the past few years in the house at the address given with his second wife, to whom he was married two years ago. Ten years ago he had a prosperous business.

Then he became afflicted with rheumatism and as a result his business gradually pa? out of his hands. He was compellc! to draw on an account which he.had in a savings bank unill it was closed. This was quite recently and fince then he and his wife have been compelled to accept the genercelty of friends. A few days ago Gluckauf and his wife resolved to move from the comfortable two Btory houBe in which they lived to smaller quarters. Yesterday afternoon Mrs.

Gluckauf went out to look for rooms. On her return about 4:30 P. M. she found her husband dead in a chair in front of a mirror in the parlor. In his right hand he held a .32 caliber revolver with one chamber discharged.

He had shot himself In the right temple. He left three letters, one to his wife and two to friends. From his wife he asked for glveness stating that he could endure lire no longer He asked the friends to see that his wife did not suffer from want. FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED. George H.

He was very well known St the theater by the patrons of the house. He was 72 years of ase, and lived with his stepdaughter.

W. Lederer against Lillian Russell, the singer, to recover $15,000 for alleged breach of contract a motion to move the trial of the case to New York County, on the ground that the defendant lived in New York County while the plaintiff was never a resident of Kings County, was granted by Justice Garretson in Supreme Court. ANNOYED MISS GOULD. James H. Anderson, who Is charged with annoying Miss Helen Gould by sending letters to her and claiming to be her husband, was this morning committed to the insane pavilion of Bellevue Hospital to be examined to his sanity.

ORDERS FOR OTHER WARSHIPS. The New Orleans, Nashville and Badger Will Also Go to the Philippines. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth street. Washington, October 5 Inside of a week the cruiser Brooklyn will be headed for Manila, via the Suez Canal." On arrival at that place the Brooklyn will become the flagship of the Asiatic Squadron and Admirr.l Watson will transfer his flag from the Baltimore to the peak of the Brooklyn. Orders were issued this morning directing the Brooklyn, New Orleans.

Nashville and Badger to proceed to Manila. The Nashville's orders were sent by telegraph and require her to get under way as soon as possible, so sho will probably sail inside of a few hours. The New Orleans, which is now en route for Hampton Roads with the balance of the North Atlantic Squadron, is to return to Brooklyn at once and undergo some repairs. The Brooklyn is in tip top shape and it Is stated at the Navy Department will not require any extensive tinkering before leaving on her long voyage. Captain Crownlnshield informed the Eagle correspondent that the Brooklyn would not return to New York, but that such minor overhauling as was necessary would be done at Norfolk and that she would start for Manila from that point.

The order for these vessels to go to the Philippines came like a clap of thunder to all concerned and this morning the Navy Department was beselged with telegrams from officers on the various ships and on shore, some of whom wanted to be detached, while others wanted a chance to go to Manila. Some changes In the officers of the Brooklyn will occur before the cruiser puts to sea and it Is stated that in all probability these men will be detached from her: Lieutenant R. Rush, Lieutenant J. G. Doyle and Lieutenant J.

P. J. Ryan. It is understood that in his conference with the President yesterday Admiral Dewey Informed the President that a new vessel was needed for a flagship at Manila. The Baltimore, which is now serving in this capacity, is small and not comfortable and Admiral Watson will find the Brooklyn a great improvement over her.

Admiral Schley was so highly pleased with the Brooklyn that he was very anxious to have her attached to his fleet as a flagship. The New Orleans will arrive at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in a day or so, when the workmen will be put to work on her repairing the galleys and improving the sleeping quarters for the men. The Badger, which is to take the direct Pacific course to Manila, will not be able to get away for a week or two owing to the fact that she was recently placed out of commission at the Mare Island Navy Yard, California. As soon as she can be prepared for sea she will depart for Manila. The other three vessels of the fleet will pro ceed to the Philippines by way of the Suez Canal.

Assistant Secretary Allen stated to day that the gunboat Bancroft would soon be added to I the Philippine fleet. She is now at Boston undergoing repairs and will not be In a con dition to leave for some weeks. When fit for travel, however, she will be ordered to Manila. OBITUARY. Colonel Silas Titus.

MONEY AVAILABLE AT ONCE. Commissioner Simis Requested to Present Plans for Improvement of Kings County Charitable Institutions. The Board of Estimate to day authorized the Controller to i3sue $100,000 of bonds for the improvement of the Wallabout Basin. The Municipal Assembly has nothing to do with such a bond issue and the money can be secured without any delay by the sale of bonds. Mr.

Coler recommended that the bonds be authorized, as had been requested by the Dock Board, in order that the Wallabout Basin may be made fully available for business purposes. The Dock Department is already busy there, erecting piers which have been leased for business uses, one to the Pennsylvania Rail road Company, which Is to make the market an important terminal point. With the money voted to day it is expected that a new pier will be built for rental. The board also passed a resolution, request ing Commissioner Simis to present plans for the improvements to the exiBting pudiic charitable iustitutions in Brooklyn, ae outlined by him before the board yeBterday. The most important of these are two new almshouse pavilions, at $50,000 each; a nurses' home and an idiots' pavilion and a consumptives' home.

The board wishes the plans in order to determine what Improvements it will permit to go ahead through special bond issues. President Keller of the department was informed through resolution by the board that If he made requisition bonds would be authorized for the building of a $50,000 central steam plant on Randall's Island, a $15,000 nurses' home on Randall's Island, a $40,000 nurses' home at the almshouse, a new building for the city training school at a cost of $42,000 and other improvements, bringing up the total to $191,000. Mr. Keller was also asked to prepare and present plans for a new Harlem Hospital. Yesterday he and Commissioner Simis appeared to explain their estimates and they declared tliey needed all of the Improvements named.

The board authorized the Controller to sell revenue bonds to the amount of $754,103 to pay school teachers as follows: Manhattan and the Bronx. $422,600: Brooklyn, Queens, Richmond, $6,001. The board approved the appointments of six employes in the Bureau of Municipal Statistics, but refused to allow higher salaries suggested by Chief Nagle. A request from the Board of Education for a new $1,500,000 bond issue to erect new schools in Manhattan and tho Bronx was referred to the Controller for report. INSPECTING FORT WADSWOETH.
