BENEDICT JEWELERS. BENEDICT BROS. iff TP JOHN MOERLEY LET GO. Super Sensitive Engineer Tried Suicide, Fearing' Engine Would Explode. John Moerley.

Hti years old. of 46 South Sixth street, who attempted suicide three we. ks nm by hacking his skull with an ax. was discharged from St. Catherine's Hospital this morning and arraigned before Magistrate Higginbotham.

in the Lee avenue court. At the time Moerley gave a peculiar reason for trying to end his life. He had been employed as an engineer in the machine shop of iienry Waterman, at IS Dunham place, for thirty two years. Finding that the water pipes did not lurnish a sufficient supply to the boiler, he feared that an explosion would follow. His employer did not hold the same opinion, anil Moerley, declaring that he would rather kill himself than his fellow workmen, made the attempt.

It only resulted in half a dozen scalp wounds. In court to day Moerley claimed that he was nervous and excited at" the time. He was warned not to repeat the attempt and released. OLD APPLICATION WITHDRAWN As a Result of the Pennsylvania Bail road Company's New Tunnel Flan. As heretofore unofficially announced, yes terday the application mase by the Long Island Railroad and associate interests for a permit to construct a tunnel between Long Island City and a point in Manhattan near Broadway and Thirtieth street was withdrawn from the Rapid Transit Commission.

The withdrawal of this application in favor of the great new plan just announced by the Pennsylvania was anticipated. The Commission received no communica tion or application in its place, relative to the new plan, and this strengthens the belief hitherto expressed that it is deemed by its promoters unnecessary to secure the Rapid Transit Commission's approval. Contractor McDonald put in a requisition for which is the second largest for i any single month. It was approved. The to tal of the requisitions to date is $11,070,000.

The Commission considered an application i of the contractor for a change in the plan of the station to be located on Lenox avenue, at One Hundred and Forty eighth street, just I at the Harlem River. He wants it above ground, as tr.e question ot water win De troublesome under surface. Js'o action was taken. WAS NOT A MURDER CASE. Murphy Had Been Kicked Out of the House and He "Wanted to Get Even.

A man who was very much excited ran into the Adams street police station Just after dark last night and begged the sergeant at the desk to send a policeman around to 120 Lawrence street at once. "There ia a man there who is trying to murder his wife," said the informer, "and unless the cop hurries he may he too late." Reports of attempted murder are everyday occurrences to police sergeants, hut this visitor seemed to be so much impressedwiththe Importance of haste that the sergeant sent Policeman Kearns, who is over 6 feet tall, around to the Lawrence street address without any delay. When the officer got there a sweet, deep peace seemed to have settled on the house and all its inmates. There was not a sound from the inside and the other neighbors said that nobody, as far as they knew, had been killed. Mr.

Kearns was just about pulling the door bell when a short man with blood all over his face and his collar and with a stubby clasp knife open in his hand, ran up the doorstep. Kearns got hold of him there and disarmed him on the spot. He took him back to the police station, but nobody had been murdered. The prisoner proved to be Edward Murphy, who is in the soda water and soft drink business, but who occasionally lakes a nip of something stronger. It was plain that he had been drinking and he was locked up on a charge of intoxication.

This morning he admitted the charge and Magistrate Dooley suspended sentence. The explanation of the murder story came out last night. Mrs. Murphy was formerly Mrs. Devlin and came to her husband with grown up boys.

The presence of the stepsons in the house excites Mr. Murphy and last night he missed $60 and said that the money had been taken from him. One of the big boys, who is an actor by profession, thumped him and kicked him. out of the house, because, it is alleged, Murphy had threatened his wife, and that was the reason for his return with the knife. But he never meant murder.

That was perfectly clear to the policemen and all of the other people who knew the man. MAY BE A MURDER CASE. John Gudkeskie Accused of Killing His on Daughter's Statement. John Gudkeskie, a Pole, SS years old and a longshoreman by occupation, was arraigned in the Butler street court to day on a charge of homicide. He was arrested at his home, 130 Twenty first street, yesterday afternoon by Policeman Otto Steinway.

The man was taken into custody because of tho statement made by his comely 17 year old daugh ter Eva, that lie had struck his wife duringi a quarrel a few days before her death. Miss Gudkeskie was in court this morning and talked for some time with her father. She did not seem to have any enmity against him. Yesterday afternoon, about 1:20 o'clock, Mrs. Gudkeskie, the wife of tho man accused, died at her home after a few days' illness.

Dr. Otto Risch of Third avenue, who had attended her, refused to issue a death certificate and reported the matter to the police of the Fifth avenue station. Then he declared in writing that Miss Gudkeskie had told him that her father had struck her mother. Gudkeskie's arrest followed. The police learned that the husband and wife quarreled on Monday and then, it is alleged, ho had struck her in the abdomen.

Tuesday, the next day, she became ill and homo remedies were applied. Thursday she became worse nnd Dr. Risch was summoned. Tho woman continued to grow worse until she died. Gudkeskie's (laughter said that she did not know what had caused her mother's death, and she was not certain that the doctor who attended her did.

She had told Dr. Risch that her father had pushed her mother after they had had some words on Monday. Miss Gudkeskie said that she had asked the physician if her mother's death was caused by a cold from which she had suffered or If it was the result, of the push, and he had replied that he did not know. Magistrate Dooley said that he would hold Gudkeskie until Monday, but he wanted the coroner's report at that time. He also advised that the inquest be held to day as there was little evidence against the man aecured.

and it was only fair that there should be a prompt investigation. HIGHER SALARIES FOB TWO. SHAMROCK'S GREEN SAILS; LIPTON'S LITTLE JOKE. Emerald Suit for the Challenger Had She Been Victorious. WERE BENT ON AT NIGHT.

Ugly Humor Afloat Charges Incendiarism at Robins' Yard Fire. Details of Losses. In overhntilins 'he burned sails of Shamrock II in i ho ruins of the Erio Basin fire this morning, the fact came to light that Sir Thomas Linton came prepared to spring a huge joke on the Americans if he had won the America's cup. It also clearly indicates that he expected to win it. In the mass of partially burned sails that were stored in the loft above the carpenter shop were seen some pieces of vivid green.

When opened up several sails were hauled out from the wreckage, all of emerald green. Later, it became known that in the event of Shamrock II winning two of the races, this green suit was to have been worn in the third and deciding race. It is said. also, that this green suit of sails never saw the light of day, but was bent and stretched at night while the boat lay in the Horseshoe, at Sandy Hook. The discovery of the green sails to day was the cause of riffich mirth, even among the men who are saddest by the big disaster at the Robins' yard.

The loss is being bravely met. All the boilermakers in the burned shops are engaged at work on the New York, and it is hoped that inside of a few days the business will be going on as usual. The machine shop and its valuable machinery escaped, owing to the presence of a lire wall. All the planing can be done there and the punching can be done outside, or at the Navy Yard until a new plant is installed. The loss on the buildings is estimated at $20,000, to say nothing of the array of punching, planing, and other machinery, besides the plant in the carpenter and joiner shop.

One new punch that had never been used cost $2,300. All the blue prints for the New York, as well as most of the molds, are lost. The lines of F. M. Smith's new yacht had been partially laid down in the mold loft and all this will have to be done over again by former Alderman John Connolly of Kent street.

Greenpoint. There is an ugly rumor afloat to the effect that the fire started in the engine room of the boiler shop and came from the outside. This receives color from the fact that there was a strike in the yard of the John Robins Company three or four months ago in which the International Brotherhood was aligned against the Knights of Labor, the latter winning oat. Since then there has been an intensely bitter feeling on both sides, and It is more than hinted that this has had something to do with the fire. It Is pointed out that had a partially lighted lamp been left in the carpenter shop when the men left the fire would not havo taken four or five hours to develop.

The same applies to the boiler shop. When it did appear it carried everything before it with a rush and no chance was left for the 450 feet of buildings that run down from the corner of Dwight street toward the sectional dock. There was a dynamo in the boiler shop that supplied the lights there, and when the engine was stopped there was no possibility of fire from that source. DEPEW GOES TO BE MARRIED. Junior Senator Sails on the Kaiser Wil helid der Grosse This Morning for France.

Senator Chauncey M. Depew departed on the big German steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse this morning to Europe, where he is to marry Miss May Palmer. The Senator arrived at the pier at half past 9, half an hour before the sailing of the steamship, and at once proceeded to his suite of three rooms on the forward port side of. the prcmenado deck. Accompanying the Senator were Miss Annie and Charles C.

Paulding, his niece and nephew; A. T. Morgan, Thomas D. Husted and Horace C. Duval, his private secretary.

When asked what his plans were, the Senator replied: "I shall land at Cherbourg on the 21st and proceed to Paris, where I shall stay two days. From there I shall go to Nice, where Miss Palmer is staying, and remain there until the wedding, which will take place on the 27th. "We will come hack to Cherbourg on January 4 and take the steamship back to America, arriving here on the 11th." Senator Depew wore a business suit of dark material and a melton overcoat. He carried a cane and wore a high hat. In the Senator's cabin were four big baskets of fruit, a case of champagne and several congratulatory notes from friends.

The Senator was in good spirits and laughed and Joked with every one. On his way to his cabin he was besieged by the passengers, who crowded around him, shaking his band and tendering their congratulations. Everywhere he went he was followed by the crowd, and several of the passengers succeeded in taking a snapshot of him while he was on the deck of the steam Bhip. When last seen Senator Depew was waving hie hat to his friends on the pier, laughing and shouting farewells to them. FAGATT'S DEATH ANNOUNCED.

HOLER MAY BE SALVEO He Is Likely to Be Named Chairman of Democratic Finance Committee. A KEY TO THE INNER CIRCLE. He Will Be Ex Officio Member of the Executive Committee Efforts to Place Mr. Bennett.

A quiet understanding has been arrived at in Willoughby street that the political eccentricities of Controller Coler are to be over looked in view of the possible value of his name to the organization in some future emergency. More than that, the Controller's feelings are to be salved, so the latest rumor goes, with the chairmanship of the finance committee, which bears a vague analogy to the similarly named position in Tammany Hall, held successively by John Kelly and Richard Croker, but does not carry with it the emoluments of that position. If Mr. Coler is elected chairman of the finance committee he will be ex officio a member of the executive committee, admitted on an even footing with everybody else to the inner circle of Democratic management. He will also have duties that will keep his industry fully employed, for the work of col lecting money, of devising ways and means for the Democratic party of Kings County, is not going to be easy for any one during the next two years.

In addition, as the holder a place fiduciary in character, Mr. Coler will be more or less under honds not to say a giKitt aeai tor publication. That is an element in the situation that is thought to be worth some consideration. It is absolutely untrue that the Controller was eer asked by anybody to retire from the membership in the general committee, which he holds as a Seventeenth District rioio It is true, however, that one of his friends, a lawyer, who is a fellow member from that district, was invited to consider the exigencies of harmony with a view to making a iUi dairies u. sennett, Cleveland's United States District Attorney, and politely declined to retire.

It looks more and more cnmcult to find a Dlace. for Mr Honnott in the Seventeenth. Bridge Commissioner onea district. It has only four delegates, being the strongest Republican district in the county. The lawyer is one, a prominent business man is the second, the third is Mr Coler himself and the fourth Mr.

Shea. It is said that as a last resort the business man is being deftly approached, but his action in the matter is uncertain. There seems to be no doubt that Mr. Bennett is strongly desired by Mr. Shepard as one of the new members.

If he lived in any other district in the city there would be no trouble in making a place for him, but the chances are that ho could not be persuaded to change his residence In order to straighten things out for the regulars and Mr. Shepard. Mr. Coler's friends deny that his recent emphatic utterance on the injection subject was dictated by a jealousy of the rising star of Mr. Shepard.

They Insist that the relations between the two men are entirely pleasant and that much of what the Controller said would be warmly indorsed by Mr. Shepard himself. A veteran leader, talking of the proposition to make Mr. Coler chairman of the finance committee, said it was good politics. He declared that with two strings to its bow In the way of eligible candidates for whatever might come its way, the Kings County organization would be ever so much better off than if it had only one.

He thought Shepard was a good vote getter, in spite of having been borne down by the record of Tammany; and hfc as sure that Coler, in spite of occasional slips of expression, was the best man in Greater New York for a candidate. There has been no change in the plan to elect Harrington Putnam chairman of the general committee next Tuesday night. He is thought to be a very strong man and the little opposition that showed itself at the start has been entirely overcome. One of the Shepard Independents who has already been elected to the comimttee was asked this morning what he thought about Mr. Coler's interview.

He said: "Oh, Coler is a good fellow. We understand him perfectly." "Do you plead guilty to the charge of having blue blood in your veins?" "Oh, I don't know. I haven't been hied in so long that I can't swear whether my blood is blue or red. I must decline to answer that question." FIRST STRAND COMPLETED. 208 Wires Have Been Strung for Cable No.

1 on the New East River Bridge. Satisfactory progress Is being made in the construction of the cables for the New East River Bridge. Chief Engineer William HI1 denbrand, representing the John A. Roeb ling's Sons Company, stated to day that the first strand, consisting of 208 wires, had been completed in cable No. 1 and that the second strand was well advanced.

The work is being conducted under the direct supervision of Engineer Hlldenbrand, who occupied an almost similar position during the construction of the cables for the old Brooklyn Bridge. The work, he explained, on tho new bridge was now heing Carried on with greater rapidity than that of the old structure. Then, as he explained, it required ten minutes for the carrier wheel to convey the bight of the wire across the structure, while at present four wires are laid in the same time. It has required ahout a week and one half to complete the first strand, but delays were experienced on account of the machinery. These defects have been overcome and it is expected that from now on a strand will be completed in about seven working days.

The second strand in cable No. 1 is well advanced, while two strands in cable No. 2 have been started, and work Is being advanced rapidly. In a few days wire stretching on cables Nos. 3 and 4 will be started and, when this occurs, tho spinning process on all four cables will be in operation.

CAPTAIN MCKAY'S LAST TRIP. Commodore of the Canard Line Will Retire on Arrival of the Lucania at Liverpool. The steamship Lucania started on what is known as her Christmas trip this morning to Liverpool. The steamship carried a lr. rge number of passengers going home for the Christmas holidays.

This will be the last trip of Captain Horatio McKay of the Lucania, who is to retire to private life after his arrival at Liverpool. Captain McKay has been connected with the Cunard Line for thirty live years as officer, commander and commodore of the company's fleet. I "Yes, this is my last trip," said Captain McKay, "and it almost breaks my heart to think of it. Still a man cannot go on working forever, and it is only fair that I should give some of the youngsters a chance for promotion." It is said that Captain McKay is to be presented with a loving cup by the crow on the steamship's arrival on tho other side. The captain has forty six testimonials and a dozen medals which have been presented to him at different times for acts of heroism.

One Incident which brought the captain two medals happened several years ago v.hcn he stood three days alongside of a leaky Norwegian steamship in order to save a crew of twelve men. A host of the captain's friends had gathered on the pier this morning to give him a sendoIT and he was kept busy for an hour before the steamship sailed receiving them.

William Ordway Partridge, the well known Brooklyn sculptor, has obtained a verdict of $1,000 against the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company for the breaking of his plaster cast to be.

used for the statue of General J. F. Reynolds. The statue was to be placed in Fairmont Park, Philadelphia. The statue was to he in place at a certain time.

Mr. Partridge made a plaster cast fourteen feet high and chartered a special car from New Haven Road to convey it to New York from Milton, Mass. The cast was completely wrecked in transit. It was impossible for Mr. Partridge to make another cast for the Philadelphia park statue, as he had an engagement to go to Austria.

He lost a $10,000 commission, as a result. He sued the railroad company for that amount, but the jury only allowed $1,000. Mr. Partridge, when seen yesterday, said he thought an important principle of law had heen established which would be to the benefit of artists and sculptors.

In an interview yesterday he said: "The present law does not meet the sentiment of the community and cannot be enforced. The result is that respect for the law is weakened. I believe the only way to determine the true sense of the community in this matter Is by referendum, and this at a special election. Such a course will awaken public interest, and people would give thought to the matter If they had to vote on it. "Personally, I believe that there is a great deal in what District Attorney Philbin said about this question, and I think his plan leaves a way open for the Sunday sale of liquor under certain conditions."

Prosperous Insurance Broker Turns His "Wife Away and Then Shoots Himself. William Eustace, an insurance broker, living on the top floor of a five story flat house, 52 West One Hundred and Seventeenth street, Manhattan, committed suicide some time during last night by shooting himself behind the right ear with a revolver.

For some weeks Eustace had been on a prolonged debauch. On Thursday night he came in the worse for liquor and, after quarreling with his wife, turned her out of the house. She sought refuge with neighbors and remained all night with them. Yesterday, after consultation with friends, who told her that patience had ceased to be a virtue, she went to the Harlem police court and obtained a warrant for Eustace's arrest for disorderly conduct and abusing her. The warrant was given to Court Officer Darcy to serve and he made an agreement to meet Mrs.

Eustace this morning and serve tho warrant. At 9 o'clock Darcy knocked at the door ot tho flat where the Eustaces live. He had been unable to find Mrs. Eustace, not knowing where she had spent the night. There being no answer to his knocks, he went in and through the flat to the parlor, where he found the body of Eustace, reclining on a chair, a bullet hole behind the ear and a revolver lying on a cushion.

Darcy went in search of Mrs. Eustace and finding her broke the news as gently as possible. She was terribly distressed and blamed herself for the man's rash act, saying that if she had not applied for the warrant for his arrest he would never have committed suicide. Neighbors comforted her as much as possible and Darcy went out and got Policeman McGrath, who took charge of the body until the coroner should arrive. The couple had been exceedingly happy in their home life until Eustace took to drink.
