The last wire to actually complete the cables of the new Bridge was placed in position shortly before noon this morning.

The stretching of the wine aroused considerable interest, which was manifested not only by the thousands of persons who have been watching the progress of the bridge, but by the pilots of the various river craft. As a result the passage of the last wheel carrying the bight of the wire to complete the cable known as No. 3 during its passage over the structure was accompanied by the tooting of whistles of all the river craft. It was a royal send off and one to which the John A. Roebling's Sons Company, who have the contract for the making of the cables, wore entitled.

The wheel carrying the last wires was conveyed across the bridge slowly and being: gaily decorated with bunting and flags, was the signal for general attention. The signal immediately was taken up by the pilots of the ferryboats of the Brooklyn Ferry Company and there was a generous tooting of whistles. This was taken up again by passing river craft and the result there was a "William Hildenbrand, To day Finished the Stringing of the Cables of the New East River Bridse. general din of whistle blowing during the progress of the carrier wheel across the structure. It could not be mistaken for the reason that when the last wire was nhdni xo De placed in position a large American flag was hung from a guide wire which was stretched from the Brooklyn to the Jlanhat tan tower.

It was suspended, so to speak, in midair, and presented such an exhilarating sight that it was almost impossible for the captains of the river craft to resist the temptation of giving three loug toots from the whistles of their different boats. While the wheel was making its slow progress across the structure a handsome yacht passed beneath the new structure and its siren whistle made things lively for several minutes. Evidently the captain ut' the craft caught sight of the wheel making its Way slowly up the structure from the Manhattan side and determined to be in it. and his signal was taken up by the other craft and in a second there was a general shrieking of whistles from all sides. The din was' ltept up for nearly a quarter of an hour and hundreds of persons hastily gathered in the vicinity of Kent avenue and South Sixth street.

The stretching of the last wire intended on the part of the John A. Roebling's Sons Company to have been conducted quietly and without the slightest demonstration, but it was demanded several hundred letters received by the lirni that the general public be notified in some manner when the event' was to happen. Because of the numerous requests in this respect, as stated in the Eagle yesterday, it was decided to expose a largo American flag at the time that the wheel was making its last trip. This was done to the entire satisfaction of the many hundreds who gathered on both sides of the river to witness the final completion of the cables. The work on cable known as Xo.

4 was completed this morning, several additional trips being necessary, owing to an accident "which occurred yesterday. This 'work was completed early in the morning and it only remains to spin the last wires for cable Ko. 3. All the finishing wire was started from the Manhattan side and it was from here that the last wires were started to complete the uncompleted strand. It was about 10:42 o'clock when the wheel was prepared for its last trip.

The workmen stood ready to receive it as it was hauled across on the traveling rope. Everybody sprang forward when it was in position on the anchorage and in a few minutes, under the deft hands of the men bunting was entwined about the spokes and flagr; were attached to the suspending arms. The start was made at the time mentioned, at a signal the wheel rame to a halt at the top of Manhattan tower. Here several rftinutes were lost in order to give Chief Engineer Hildenbrand opportunity to have the flag suspended from the center Of the structure on the guide wire wiiieli was the signal agreed upon when the last.

The Board of Estimate took "up the pub He improvements calendar first to day, contrary to the usual rule. This was caused by the serving of several injunctions secured by property owners in Brooklyn. These injunctions are duplicates in eighteen individual cases on the calendar of those calling for public hearings on Brooklyn improvements.

They were vacated recently, but the injunctions were again, tying up all proceedings. Alderman James Bridges of Brooklyn was the first person heard, and again advocated a park in the district near the Navy Yard, in close proximity to the terminal of Bridge No. 3. He was present at the last meeting and spoke at length on the subject. The matter was then referred to.

Engineer Lewis for report. He reported that Mr. Bridges' contention that the new bridge would not take in part of the property was correct. He said the property would have to be taken at a cost to the city at large. Controller Grout, who was absent from the last meeting, put in some strong objections, as he doubted the method advocated by Engineer Lewis for acquiring the property.

The matter dragged lor nearly half an hour and was finally decided by passing two resolutions to acquire the property, the property being a cost on the city and the streets to oe closed being assessed on the adjoining property benefited. Alderman Bridges will thus get his park. Controller Grout presented a long communication from the Aqueduct Commissioners, inclosing a communication from the Central Federated Union relative to the eight hour labor law as applied to the work on the new aqueduct. The Controller said the public did not seem to appreciate the importance of this law, and if the claims of Federated Union were correct that the law was not being lived up to it was estimated that It would cost the city at least $500,000 more to construct the aqueduct. He asked that a public hearing be given, 'so that the board, as well as the Aqueduct Commissioners, could have full light on the subject.

It was decided to give a joint public hearing on Tuesday, July 8, at 10:30 A. M. The financial calendar was taken up after this discussion. The old subject fixing a salary for a replevin clerk for the Coroner of Richmond came up again and the board decided the best way would be to have the Borough President apply to the Civil Service. Commission for a change title from replevin clerk to executive clerk.

"Various contracts for the Board of Education were approved, as follows: Frank Dobson, installing heating and ventilating apparatus in the new High School of Commerce and Public School No. 189, $41,390 and $34,850, respectively.

A communication relative to Horgan siatterv's work and uossible damage to the new Hall of Records was received from Contractor John Peirce, who said that the stone work is in danger of being irreparably stained by the action of the smoke and oily exhaust steam from the temporary power house of the sub contractor for a suction of the rapid transit subway. The board, after passing on thousands of dollars, voted $10 to Celia McDermott, on an old bill for laundering some towels. Au opinion from the Corporation Counsel relative to the power of the board to reject the plans of Horgan Slattery for the repairs and alterations to the County Court House was read. Mr.

Rives said that the board could terminate such contract and reject the plans. The board voted to do this. Presidents Haffen and Cassidy voting "No." Mr. Grout in making the motion said: "It is a great deal better for the city to take this course than to have this Court House touched by this firm." After Mr. Rives' opinion.

was.read the vote was taken, resulting 13 to 2 to terminate the contract with and reject the plans of Horgan Slattery tor the County Court House. President Cromwell was temporarily absent. The Controller then moved that the whole matter of terminating contracts and business relations with Horgan Slattery be. referred to a committee of three. The Mayor, the Controller and the President of the Borough of Manhattan were unanimously appointed.

FLATBUSH DEMOCRATS DIFFER, Abortive Attempt to Organize a Club in Opposition to That Supporting Dwyer. The Democrats of Flatbush are divided against themselves. For years "Jack" Dwyer, a clerk In the Bath Beach Municipal Court, has been the leader of the district, and but recently an attempt that was nipped in the bud was made to overthrow him. On May 19 the Democrats of that section, led by a man named Bachelor, organized the Suburban. Democratic Club, but when it came to an election of officers the Dwyer crowd had arrived.

They took possession of the meeting and elected their men, leaving the "kickers," as they are now known, out in the cold. Last night the "kickers" made another endeavor, a call having been issued by a man named Vermour. Henry A. Meyer and former Congressman; Edmund N. Driggs were hand, but when they saw how the wind was blowing they departed.

M. DeLesser, a former actor and now a resident of Vanderveer Park, declared that the meeting of May 19 had been stolen, and classing the "thieves" as a crowd "that was sent out from Gilfeather's Hotel, nHmpfl with beer and loaded with money." An attempt was made last night to adopt a to elect officers. GETS $400 FOR DOG'S BITE. In the trial of the suit of Caroline Peter eon against Charles Schlecht, which was tried before Justice Herrick yesterday in the Supreme Court, the jury returned a sealed verdict, which was opened this morning by the court. A verdict is given Mrs.

Peterson for $400. It was in this suit that Mr. Schlecht's handsome mastiff Tiger played 6uch.an Important part yesterday. The animal was brought into court at the request of Justice Herrick. His master claimed that he was docile and uot vicious.

Mrs. Peterson testified that Tiger jumped on her and her in the shoulder. When the verdict was returned Judge Kramer' as counsel for Mr. Schlecht asked that it be set aside as against the evidence, but Justice Herrick refused to do so, and allowed costs. HOMELESS MAJST DBOTVNED.

The body of a man, later Identified as Thomas Castallo, 50 years old, no home, was found In the North River off the Fifty fourth street pier, Manhattan, this morning, by George Dodds of the barge Amanda E. It was taken to the morgue. way say that the true state of affairs cannot he told. It has been learned that there are several gangs of persons in the guise of young men who make their headquarters at certain places that come under the head of dance halls and there prey upon the many apparently innocent young girls who flock down to the beach every warm evening to have a dance or two and then return to their homes. That many of them do not ever see their homes again until taken there either by the police or by Mrs.

Hughes, who conducts a mission at the foot of Sea Beach walk, is known by the statements made by many who during the past month have been arrested. Mrs. Hughes has said that a num ber of them who had been ruined at Coney Island have led the life of shame for a week or so and then have given themselves up at the mission and have told all. It was learned to day that a number of men who are the proprietors of so called hotels on the side thoroughfares leading from Snrf avenue to the beach have made application for all night licenses, as they can conduct their business with considerable profit to themselves and the hangers on about the places. It is believed, however, that Captain Driscoll will not consent to any all night licenses being granted to any of the places along the side boardwalks.

One of the proprietors said last night the business meant a whole lot to him after 1 o'clock and he thought the police should assist the business men at Coney Island and not prevent them from making money. The place in question is a small building and the dining room is a room about seven feet square. It comes under the hotel list, however, as do many other places of that kind, and they are the resorts where most of the crime is committed. Last night the island was rather quiet, but to morrow things will pick up and the police will find plenty to do. A large number of the eo called "hotels" on Coney Island's crosswalks have figured ir.

the police court at the island and the people who frequent them at times are known to be most notorious and disreputable. One young woman who was committed to the Wayside Home for six months this morning said she would end all by killing herself before twenty four hours had passed. It has been learned that some of the places have women who are known as "runners" and whose business it is to gather in young girls ho are forced to lead a most notorious life in the places. Some startling disclosures will be made, it is expected, within a short time. LAYS ASIDE HIS CRUTCHES.

Ex Judge Morris, Aged Over SO, Has Quickly Recovered Prom Erac tured Hip. Ex Judge Samuel D. Morris, the legal veteran of Brooklyn aud aged over SO years, has entirely recovered from the fracture of his hip. which took place on January and resulted from a fall on the ice on Lafayette avenue, close to Ms home, at 55 Oxford street. He was confined to his house but eight weeks, Drs.

Barber and McNaughton being in at tendance. About the 1st of April he was permitted to take almost daily rides in his Victoria and walk with the aid of crutches. Within a week he has been able to do without even these aids and attends to his active legal duties almost, daily, dining at the Brooklyn Club, where he is constantly congratulated on his recovery and his youthful vigor. His life has always been an active and even an aggressive one from the time of bis admission to the bar, in 1S50, at Plattshurg, X. Y.

He was three years after chosen to the Assembly and two years after elected county judge, serving four years. Then, as district attorney for nine years, he was vigorous in his prosecution of criminals. He retired from office permanently in 1S72, but entered active criminal and civil practice. He was in almost every famous trial, notably the Beecher Tilton ease, for a quarter of a century. He has latterly devoted himself to civil practice, mainly damage suits against corporations, in which he has been wonderful successful.

The firm is Morris Whitehouse. He was formerly a corporation attorney. FLAY HELD ON TO HIS MAN. Alleged Lottery Dealer Discharged for Lack of "Warrant Detective Again Seizes Him. Simon Hout, an alleged lottery dealer of Manhattan, had an exciting' time in the Eastern District this; morning, and, despite his efforts and the protestations of his law The wire was to be placed in position.

Several times during the pipage of the wheel it was stopped and i 'nose gathered on the Brooklyn anchorage began io become nervous. Among those gathered at this point was Engineer O. V. Nichols, who has ooea associated with Engineer L. L.

Buck, who prepared the design: the structure. Tiv, latter was not present, and the only others of note who have been eonuectcd with the bridge were Chief Engineer William Hildenbrand and his assistant, Isaac Karby, and Superintendent V. O. Porter of the Roebling's Sons' Company. Xeithrr of the Roeblings was present, as Charles G.

Roebling visited the wo yosior.lay and was satisfied that wuui'l be carried out to the letter Ins subordinates. This wae. done to the faction oi' all. as a matter of fact occurred to mar tlic occasion, went off to the satisfaction of all pn. ent.

including W. H. Bascomo and H. IJ. Robinson, members of the corps of visiting engineers.

A peculiar coincidence in connection with the stretching of the last wire is that the first wire was started across the structure or. November of last year, and that the final wire v. as started across and placed in position on the same day, just seven months later. When the wheel reached the Brooklyn anchorage the workmen lined up aud gave three cheers. As scon as the wire had been placed in position on the shoe, the workmen sprang to work and in a while had the shoe containing the strand placed in position in the cable liaks.

not as bad as they are in Manhattan and the smoke nuisance is not so general. Our engines were not made for soft coai and considering that fact 1 think we have done well in our efforts to abate the nuisance in Brooklyn." Mr. Greatsinger was told that residents of certain sections of the borough were complaining of the smoke coming from his engines. Ke said he had not heard of any. CHILDREN NEGLECTED.

Seaside Police Captain Says He's Done His Eest and That Conditions Are Difficult. The Grand Jury for the month of June made its final appearance in the County Court this morning. It was discharged by Judge Crane after he had read over the presentment which the members of the Grand Jury handed in regarding the conditions that prevail at Oouey Island, in lower Fulton street and East New York. As regards the two latter sections the Grand Jury had nothing to say, from which it was presumed by Judge Crane that they had found nothing to warrant special mention. As to Coney Island the presentment had this to say: The Kings County Grand Jury of the month of June.

1902, respectfully submits this presentment: "We have followed the recommendation of the Hon. Judge Crane to continue the work commenced by the May Grand Jury in certain directions. "A number of Committees from this Grand Jury visited Coney Island. lower Fulton street and the East New York section, with the view of examining thoroughly the conditions complained of. "We found numerous instances where the law was openly violated at Coney Island.

Soliciting by women, selling liquors on Sunday without a pretense of a meal being served; immodest dancing in the "The Grand Jury summoned Captain Drii coll, and some of his officers, and laid before them its findings. "Subsequently other Committees of this Grand Jury visiting Coney Island found the Island considerably improved, but not sufficient to warrant a relaxation of constant supervision; a continued, stringent watchfulness by the authorities, and all organizations interested in the enforcement of law." After Judge Crane had finished reading this part of the presentment he said: "Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, when this court instructed you in regard to your duties in this respect, you were told to thoroughly investigate the conditions that prevailed at Coney Island and elsewhere in the county and if you found violations of the law to present indictments against the persons guilty of suea violations. A report such as you have iJieaaaieu mis morning, wnne important creating public opinion against certain conditions by being handed to the press, as thi one win tie. aoes not have the weight that an indictment would, and, from the fact that you have not handed in anv indictment I take it that you do not warrant the condition ot Coney Island to make necessary such action. You arc.

therefore, discharged with the thanks of the court." The remainder of the presentment is as follows: "We have inspected the Ravmond Street Jail, the Penitentiary, the Almshouse, and the County Hospital, and found them all in a very good condition. Cleanliness and order prevail and the food is well prepared. "The following recommendations are herewith presented: "First. The woman's jail should be torn down and a modern buiidim to take its nlnrw. erected without delay.

seccuu. lho present svstem nt li. minp the cells of ihe Penitentiary with oil lamps should be substituted by incandescent electric light. "Third. The roof and ceiling of the top floor of the woman's building in the Almshouse should be repaired immediatelv.

"We. take pleasure in bearing testimony to the ualiorm courtesy and attention of District Attorney Clarke. Ihe assistant district attorneys and office staff." Police Captain Driscoll was. somewhat surprised to ciay when informed that the Grand Jury had turned in a presentment which did not say much for Coney Island. When as'fted his opinion he said: "1 have tried my best clean up Coney Island of all the disreputable places there and during the past three weeks I think my record shows that I have not been idle at all.

nor have my men. I have personallv worked night and day and have, with the assistance of my men. succeeded in ridding the island of many of the female characters who nave been a source of much worry to me and also the cause of all the comment on Coney Island. I do not Intend to let up on the places at all. but on the contrary will work clay and night and will see that my men go into the.

places and keep an eye on them continually. "You must realize that I have a large amount of work to do here this summer. I have been led to believe that things are pretty strict in the Borough of Manhattan now. and the result Is a large number of the disreputable young women are flocking here In great numbers. The records have been smashed this season so far as the arrests of these characters are concerned, and you may rest assured that there will be no let up in my work.

We have already landed three disorderly houses during the past two weeks and expect to get all that arc now in ex istence. That the captain has his hands full at Coney Island is the opinion of every person who knows anything about the doings at the resort. The notorious disclosures in the life led by many of the young women who during the past two weeks have been picked up by the police and committed to various institutions have caused considerable comment from the respectable clement at the island, and many of those who are interested to a cer tain extent In business ventures down that NOTHING FOR WOMEN.

Kilmit Accused of Playing Part of Marshal In Executions by Jewelry Vendors. Thomas Kilmit, charged "with playing the part of a bogus marshal, to aid Isaac and Samuel Stromberg to obtain money from persons who have purchased goods from them on the installment plan, and who are now out on $1,500 hail each to answer a charge of extortion, was again called before Judge Crane in Part 1 of the County Court, this morning, to plead to three other indictments of extortion, just found against him by the JSrand Jury.

The indictments charge Kilmit with extorting at different times the sums of $13, $75 and $22 from three Italians. He pleaded not guilty to all three charges; On the original indictment found against him last week, bail for Kilmit was fixed at $5,000, which he has been unable to furnish. District Attorney Clarke is making a hot fight against the Stronibergs, and says there are many other cases to be pressed against them. They have a place on the east side of Manhattan and sell jewelry and furniture mostly to Italians on weekly install inents. They do not try to collect the installments, so the District Attorney says, but get executions against their customers, and then visit them with a man who poses as a marshal and by threatening to loci: them up in jail, extorts money from them.

FERRYBOATS GET HARD COAL. Several lays ago Commissioner Lederle of the Department of Health notified the Pennsylvania Railroad Company that. It must cease using Boft coal on its ferryboats. This morning the commissioner received a letter from Superintendent Shepard saying that the railroad company had succeeded in purchasing 10,000 tons of anthracite coal for use on their boats, sufficient to last them about three months, and that owing to the coal being of a different size from what has hitherto been used, new grates were being put into the furnaces of the ferryboats of the Cortlandt and Desbrosses street lines as fast as possible. The nuisance complained of will therefore be abated.
