RAN ACROSS A NAIL, And as a Result Hughes Defeated the Frenchman in. the Sawing Contest. A novel entertainment was the second' annual competition meeting ot the Evergreen Locust Post Sawing Club, Wednesday evening, at Keilman'B assembly rooms, corner of Halsey street and Evergreen avenue. There was a large audience present, which was intensely interested in the various contests. The principal event of the evening was the i sawing contest two expert carpet layers, Jack Hughes of a well known Manhattan department store, and' Martin Maltha nerg of a Fulton street carpet house.

The post was four IncheB in diameter. The Frenchman was the favorite and was heavily backed, the odds being 5 to 8. The purse was $100 a side. An unlookcd for Incident occurred when the Frenchman ran across a tenpenny nail. Nothing daunted, he sawed through it.

"Che Irishman took advantage of the situation and worked overtime, with' the result that he won the match by two seconds, in the time of one minute and forty seconds. The tenpenny nail incident caused a dispute, but it was settled by a policeman, who acted as referee, and all bets were paid, even the bluecoat's bet of $50 and a round of drinks. There were five other competitions, four of which 'Hughes won, and he was declared champion, A bountiful was. enjoyed and volunteer talent furnished entertainment.

McMahon, his bride ot five months, and Miss Emma Coveny of Borough Park, who had a charge of disorderly conduct against McMahon, were all in the Adams street court this morning.

Mrs. McMahon was a telephone girl before she was married to the accused and MIsb Coveny Is still em ployed at the switchboard in the telephone office on Lawrence street. The little bride, who is a comely, gentle little woman, was full of resentment against her husband this morning and wanted to see him sent away for a long, long time. 'I will never live with him again, sue said. "I want a separation from him Just as soon as I can get It, for he has treated me shamefully and has threatened my life.

Cannot I have a warrant issued tor nis arrest on a charge of threatening me when he comes out of Jail?" The Question was put to complaint clerk Eilprin, who advised her to wait until she learned how her husband would treat her later. By that time Magistrate Dooley had sent the accused to the Raymond street Jail for ten days on the charge of disorderly conduct, for Miss Coveny had told her story of how McMahon was In the habit of following her to and "from her work and calling her the vilest possible names 'on the street. McMahon excuse had been that miss coveny was harboring the young wife and poisoning her mind against her lawful husband and that he only followed her to learn where Mrs. McMahon was In hiding. McMahon's sister, who was also In court, declared that the wife was the cause of Mc Mahon having contracted an excessive fondness for whisky and asserted that she and the Coveny girl had conspired to make Eddie, as she called him, "feel like 33 3rd cents." So excessive was the sister's feelings when she was telling of her brother's wrongs, from the sisterly standpoint, that she fainted dead away in the arms of a sympathetic reporter while she was in the middle of her narration.

She was soon revived and went home to tell her husband that her brother had been sent to Jail and to try to raise the $10 which would secure his liberation. Mrs. McMahon decided in the meanwhile to take the complaint, clerk's advice and wait until Eddie had threatened her life again before making a complaint against him. THE WEATHER.

Donnelly Get Advice From the Court. Mrs. Elizabeth Hancock of 252 Navy street appeared in the Myrtle avenue court this morning against Mrs. Donnelly of the same address. Mrs." Hancock said that Mrs.

Donnelly had called her vile names and had recently done many things to annoy her, such as locking the front door so that she could not enter the house. The trouble, according to Mrs. Hancock, reached a climax last Tuesday, when Mrs. Donnelly, who lives on the second floor of the house above Mrs. Hancock, threw a pail of water out of her window and ruined some things that the latter had put on her window sill.

The women carried on a war of words in the court room until the court officers interposed. When silence was once more proclaimed. Magistrate Naumer gave both women some good advice and dismissed the case. VERDICT FOR $2,500. Jury Awards Damages to Miss Kenny in Suit Against E.

M. Meislahn. A sealed verdict for $2,500 was handed to Justice Chester in Part IV of the Supreme Court thiB morning in favor of Miss Annie M. Kenny, who lives with her brother. Dr.

Eugene J. Kenny, in Prospect place, in the suit brought by her against Edward M. Meislahn to recover $4,240 alleged to be due for the support, including physician's bills, of Alice Meislahrj, wife of the defendant and sister of the plaintiff. It seems that Mr. and Mrs.

Meislahn were married In 1S81 and seven years afterward the defendant disappeared. About ten years after that Mrs. Meislahn found her husband at Woodland Park. Col. His father had died, leaving a large estate valued, it is said, at $300,000, and it Is declared that Meislahn received about $50,000 of the estate.

It was shown by the testimony that the Rev. Father Philip Kenny, brother of the plaintiff, cared for Mrs. Meislahn while her husband did not support her and that Dr. Eugene J. Kenny, between June, 1894, and December, 1899, gave medical services for which his charge was $737.

The suit was assigned by Father Kenny and Dr. Kenny to their sister, the plaiDtiff. Hughes Heis ten were for the plaintiff. FLAGMEN NOW STAND GUARD. Since Young Hubbell Was Killed Extra Precautions Are Taken on Atlantic Avenue.

Since the death of William S. Hubbell, who was run down by a train on Atlantic avenue, near Hendrix street, while engaged in survey work for the elevated structure to be erected along the former thoroughfare, additional flagmen have been stationed along the sections of the railroad where the surveyors are at work. The flagmen are equipped with horn megaphones and green flags. With the former they warn the surveyors of the approach ot trains and signal the engineers of the latter with the flags when the tracks are clear and the surveyors, whose work at present keeps them directly on the line of the railroad, are out of the path of danger. The work of the latter is accomplished under vexatious surroundings, as there is a train every few minutes.

The latter, it is said, proceed at a much higher rate of speed than formerly, and there is Considerable complaint among residents of Atlantic avenue, owing to the fact that the gates guarding crossings are down almost continuously. It is claimed that the gate men are compelled the keep an exceedingly close lookout for approaching trains and that there is scarcely time to lower the gates before the train sweeps by. Beyond Vesta avenue for a considerable distance, there is a third track, which is used exclusively for express trains and fast suburban locals. In the opinion of residents and property owners, the necessity for depressing tne tracks or elevating the same, as is proposed in the plans for the projected Atlantic avenue improvement, is a wrk which cannot be de layed. William S.

Hubbell. the young surveyor. who received injuries from a train which resulted in his death, belonged, it is said, to a well known and highly respected Jamaica family. It is said that on the day that he was struck by the train, his parents and the other members of his family sailed for Europe. EARLEY WANTS A WRIT.

Wishes to Be Certified to Commissioner Murphy for a Captaincy. Justice William J. Gaynor, in Supreme Court, Special Term, was asked by Lawyer O'Brien this morning to issue a writ commanding the Civil Service Commissioners to certify to Michael C. Murphy, Commissioner of Police, the name of William F. Earley, a police sergeant, for the place of police captain.

His standing on his first examination was 58.44, which is below the minimum, and, therefore, his name was. not sent In on the eligible list. He thereupon applied for a new examination and got it, gaining a standing of 73.44. In the meantime police captains were appointed and since that time there hntffl heen no vacancies. Assistant Corporation Counsel Luke D.

Stapleton opposed the application and his honor asked of what use the application could be. Lawyer O'Brien said that, if he got the it might save the applicant's chances, as nearly a year had elapsed since he passed and the eligible lists might be destroyed, also a quo warranto proceeding might be begun. As soon as there is a vacancy he might be appointed. Mr. Stapleton said that as soon as there is an opening for the applicant he will be appointed, as he is a veteran of the Civil War.

He never disclosed that fact until after his second examination. Decision was reserved. H. A. COREY GETS DIVORCE.

Justice William J. Gaynor, In Supreme Court, has granted an absolute divorce to Henry A. Corey from Cora Gertrude Corey. Corey is employed by the law firm of Douglas Minton and the defendant. was served with the summons and complaint at the apartment house, 390 Halsey street.

The plaintiff alleged in his complaint that he and the defendant were married on December 22, 1888; that his wife had been intimate with J. Edgar Waterbury, otherwise known as E. H. Gates, at the Bijou Hotel, on Smith street, on May 8, 1901: with the same man at the Astor House, on May 10, 1901: at Mount Vernon, on April 8, 1900, with Peter J. Duffy, and at the Amsterdam Hotel with a man known as "the Count," on August 15, 1899.

The Janitors of the Brooklyn public schools were made happy to day by the receipt of their pay for the months of March and April, which aggregated about $27,000. They will also probably receive their checks for May's salary early next week.

Mueh Inconvenience has been experienced by these hard working men and women through the withholding of their pay for three months, but ft is believed that the civil service problems which have held them up has been straightened out for good. SHORT BLOCKADE ON BRIDGE. A half hour blockade on the bridge was caused at P. M. yesterday by the burning out of a motor in a Bergen street trolley car.

This was over William street, Manhattan, at the lime nnd was crowded with passengers, who were badly frightened, but escaped unhurt. A short block on the bridge cable line, which happened from an ineffective grip, at about the same time. Increased the annoyance of Brooklynites who wanted to get home. This, however, was quickly rea4Ud. FORD ENDS HIS LIFE.

Old Man Had Worked for, Years Trying to Solve Problem of Perpetual Motion. HAD MANY DISAPPOINTMENTS. Herford Thought He Had Succeeded, Only to Find That His Machine "Would Not Work. After years of patient work on a machine which he confidently expected would solve the mystery of perpetual motion, William Herford, a carpenter, 71 years old, was finally compelled to admit his failure in this respect. Being no nearer to the solution of that which he had adopted as his hobby, he grimly admitted his failure by placing the muzzle of a revolver to his right temple and blowing out his brains.

He ended his life last night in his little carpenter shop, at 265 Ellery street, where he had spent many hours in deep thought and working on the model which he expected would make his name known over the entire world. He took the precaution, however, before ending his life to dismantle the working model, and he himself only knew its workings. What secret he had died with himself. The work on the machine conducted by Herford was being watched with considerable interest by a number of his old time friends, who gavo him much encouragement, and it was thought by some of his acquaintances that. he was on the road to solve the problem which hundreds have given up.

He was greatly encouraged by the attention of his friends, though he had spent a fortune in his endeavors to attain his ambition. He was born in Germany, where he, while quite young, secured a wide reputation as a pat tern maker. He also turned his attention to inventions and conceived the. idea, of building a machine of perpetual motion. His idea, so far as he was willing to make public to his friends, involved the use of two hollow cones, and in some way; of which he retained the working secret, expected to counteract the effect of gravitation.

All his efforts, of course, met with failure, but even this did not caUBe him to lose heart and he finally imparted to his friends that he had at last worked out an idea, which he thought would result in his long looked for success. It only remained for him to put the machine together, which he did during the week while excluding and declining to see even his closest friendB. Evidently failure again followed; for it was noticed that he was despondent, which was described as something unusual for him. He also declined to talk about hiB invention other than that his efforts had still met with failure. The original models for hiB perpetual motion machine were brought from Germany when in company with his wife and children he came here and settled in the Eastern District.

He apparently was destined to be pursued by misfortune, as his wife died and then followed the death of his children in succession. His remaining son, who was a policeman, committed suicide. Attention to his misfortune was evidently distracted by constant work on his invention. Since the death of hie son he has been living as a tenant with Mrs. Margaret Young in a furnished room at 10 Sumner avenue.

Very little of his time was spent at home, and he could be found at ail hours of the night in his shop. When he finally told his friends thot ho thmicrht that he? had Derfe'cted his ma chine a number gathered in the shop, but it failed to operate and It was noticed that bo was terribly disappointed. They gave their usual encouragement and he promised to rectify some slight mistakes. He experimented with the machine alone and became convinced that all his efforts had resulted in failures and decided to kill himself. He had one of his old friendB tor a time with him early last evening and finally dismissed explaining that he wanted to be alone.

After his friend departed he made preparations for his death. He made a pillow on his work bench of a stick of wood and placing a pipe in his mouth and lighting it coolly placed the muzzle of the revolver against his right temple and sent a bullet crashing through his brain. Death must have followed instantly. His dead body was found by friends who reached the shop and finding the light burning and receiving no answer, forced their way into the building. A call for an ambit lance brought Dr.

J. W. R. Smith of the Eastern District Hospital, who at once pronounced Herford dead. The body waB removed to the Vernon avenue police station and later was taken in charge by Artnur Streglitz of 37 Somers street, who had It removed to the undertaking establishment at 182 and 184 Montrose avenue.

His friends will see that he Is properly buried beside his wife in LutheTan Cemetery. IMMIGRANT ATTEMPTS SUICIDE. Insane Woman Throws Herself Prom a Window on Ellis Island. Ella Bega, 33 years old, an excluded immigrant, attempted suicide last night by Jumping from a second story window of the emigrant station on Ellis Island.

Records Commissioner Waldo said ibis morning that nothing could bo done by the commissioners in regard 10 ihe controversy over the building of the addition to the records building until the final specifications had been submitted. He had not lime to reply to the statement of Architect Dans. Superintendent Jlosscrop. whose complaint about the condition of the building led to the framing of the bill to provide for more room, waa Been and severely criticised Mr. Daus for his part in the matter.

Mr. Mosscrop said: "I am not a member or the commission provided for in the bill to extend the Hall of Records. 1 have been consulted owing to the fact, I presume, that it was through an official communication of mine to Commissioner Waldo, dated June 20. 1900, which resulted in the four county officials taking action and the passage of an act on the 24th April, 1900, for the extension of the Hall of Records. From this time forward until the architect submitted a report dated January 14.

1901. and addressed to George E. Waldo, Commissioner of Records, entitled 'in the matter of the enlargement and alterations of the Hall of Records, under chapter 647 of the laws of New York of I took an active Interest, was present at all the meetings of the commission, participated to a limited extent in the discussions, giving my opinions on matters when requested. "From and after the receipt of the aforementioned report. I lost all interest in the matter, as I saw no probability of the extension and alterations being made and completed under two or more years.

Since which time 1 have turned my attention to protecting the records, as far as possible, the nature and necessity for which are set forth in a communication addressed to the Commissioner of Records, dated January 22, 1901. and a letter from the Commissioner of Records to the Hon. James J. Kirwin. Deputy Commissioner of the Department of Public Buildings.

Lighting and Supplies, dated February 5. 1901, which show how the delay has endangered documents beyond value. "These temporary' alterations in the County Clerk's office have been completed and will afford accommodations for about 1,000 additional flies of papers in suits." "Why did you lose interest after the architect's report?" asked the reporter. Why Mosscrop Lost Interest in the Matter. "Commissioner Waldo.

County Clerk Hu berty and Register Howe have very pithily explained the reasons, when they say that the architect seemed more interested in what he wanted rather than what we want. The architect seemed more desirous to alter and construct the building in such form, in its outward appearance, to be a monument to hie architectural ability, rather than the construction of 'additions, extensions, alterations and improvements to and upon the Hall of Records as are necessary to furnish proper accommodations for court rooms, record rooms and offices of the surrogate, register, county clerk and commissioner of records for the County of Kings, and for the preservation and convenient examination of the county records in each of said offices, as shall make such building or buildings, offices and record rooms as nearly fireproof as is practicable," as the bill puts it. "Personally, I believe with Engineer Fari hauld and J. Carlin that the foundations are more than sufficient to carry the additional weight of one and one third stories, which it is proposed by the commission shall ne added to the present building; that if there are any portions of the wall that need strengthening, steel construction is the best end will cause the least disturbance in the transaction of public business. For some unaccountable reason, the architect seems to be opposed to steel construction." "Are there any details of the architect's plans to which you take exception?" asked the reporter.

"I do not care to go into this, as I think it would raise a useless discussion. I will say, in general terms, they do not accomplish the desired end as expressed in the act and that is the desire of all those who are responsible for the care and preservation of the valuable records of the county of Kings. I hove no hesitation in saying that this work should be pushed with all possible speed and every known modern appliance for the protection of the records from fire and mutilation, proper ventilation of the building, proper toilet rooms for the hundreds of people constantly transacting business in the building is of vital importance to every owner of real estate, every investor of mortgages and every person who has to transact business in these offices." "Why Architect Daus Was Selected. Having asked Mr. Mosscrop if he had read the reply of Architect Daus to the statements of the engineer of the Building De pariment.

the Eaglo reporter asked him to state how it was that Mr. Daus came to be appointed by the authorities interested in the new building of the Hall of Records. He said: "The only knowledge I have on this subject is thai four architects were invited to submit plans, namely, Messrs. Daus, Johnson Helme. John 1.

Glover and TV. A. Mun del. These gentlemen were introduced to me and I placed myself at their disposal and gave them all the information that they desired and that I could furnish; they were at liberty to call upon me at any time for such purposes." "Do you think that Mr. Daus substantially replied to all the questions quoted In the article in last night's Eagle?" was inquired.

"As substantially as he replied to question End inquiries of the county officers and mv eelf. In regard to steel construction his replies were of that nature that they made us Jose confidence in him as an architect, and Commissioner Waldo said: "If he was in my employ, he would have been discharged The architect does not seem to lake kindly to metal cases and desires to reduce the amount to be expended for that purpose." The following official report emphasizes In the strongest manner possible the necessity Jor these uninflammable motal cases: Aufrust in. 1500. George E.

such alterations, a copv of which I inclose herewith. 1 heartily Indorse tnls plan and that he carried our.

If you wll.) com in here an eo over tile mat I De Cantillon Has Him on the List for the Twelfth Ward Park Opening.

THE SENATOR SEEMS ANGRY. Somebody. Has Seen Scattering Circulars SayMg That the Senator Will Not Appear. The formal, public opening of Red Hook Park, in the Twelfth Ward, will take place to morrow. Quite a breeze has been caused in conection with it by the printing on the programmes ex Senator Michael J.

Coffey' name as having promised to deliver an address. It learned day that the arrangements, had been 6y0 a committee made: up largely of enemies and that P. J. De Cantilioh had been made chairman of proceedings. Coffey's enemies seem also to have been responsible for scattering circulars throughout that section of the city stating that Coffey had been Invited and would probably not appear.

Senator Coffey was seen on the sidewalk on Montague street this morning and in. his office and when he was questioned about his acceptance grew very' much excited and seemed to take.the mention of De Cahtillon's name as an insult. His manner certainly suggested that Mr. De Cantilioh would not have the pleasure of Introducing his "quon dam friend and erstwhile leader." It is pretty difficult to determine whether the arrangement was made with the purpose of offending Coffey. De Cantillon professes that there Is nothing of the sort, me tnings Coffey thinks about De Cantillon are not polite.

Just how Park Commissioner Brower came to hand over the arrangements for the exercises to De Cantillon and his friends could not be learned. Red Hook Park is popularly'known'as'Coffey Park and the' land for it was wnne tne benaior was president of the' Board of Aldermen. It is bounded by Richards, Dwight, Verona and William streets.

Engineer Birdsall Will Make Use at Once of Board of Estimate's Action. Chief Engineer Birdsall ot the Water Department to day, speaking of the Board of Estimate's action yesterday in setting aside seventy acres of land in Forest Park for a reservoir to relieve Brooklyn, said he intended to have the necessary map filed with Park Commissioner Brower at the earliest opportunity, and that no time would be lost In preparing plans and specifications for the contract for building the new reservoir.

Mr. Birdsall estimated that the preliminary work would be completed about August 1, about which time the Board of Estimate will be asked to appropriate the necessary money for carrying the plan into execution, something like $1,500,000 or $1,600,000. The water official hope before that time to get the aldermen in a frame of mind to pass the big bond issue authorized months ago by the Board of Estimate for the acquisition of land and the construction of a reservoir at Spring Meadow in the Brooklyn water shed. This matter has hen hanging fire for a long time and while it is of great importance to Brooklyn, has escaped much public contention. Mr.

Birdsall called attention to day again to the need of action by the Municipal Assembly on the ordinance relating to the $75,000 nnmping station to be built at Mil burn for use in connection with the new conduit now being laid by Contractor Master son. Even if Mr. Masterson had completed his contract the conduit would be of no practical use for lack of this pumping station. Another big improvement in fee Manhattan and Bronx water shed is blocked and Mr. Birdsall is exercising himself to get it under way.

This is the proposed Cross River storage reservoir which will cost at least a million dollars. BITTEN BY A MAD DOG. Martha Waring. 6 years old, of 49 East Ninety ninth street. Manhattan, was sitting on the stoop of her home this morning when she was bitten by a dog.
