President Willcox of the Park Board announced this morning that the new viaduct, in Riverside drive, over Ninety sixth street, would be opened the latter part of this i week.

London, England, January 14 William Fife, of Fairlie, on the Clyde, is to build Sir Thomas Lipton's next challenger for the America's ctip. At a conference just held between Sir Thomas and his advisers, definite arrangements were made for the con struction of Shamrock III, and an order for the new yacht was given to and accepted by Mr. Fife.

ia Vjew of the probability of a big revival 0r British yachting, and the fact that de signing and superintending a cup challenger necessitates constant work' for at least a year, Mr. Fife was somewhat disinclined to accept the big job Sir Thomas, however, found means of overcoming his objections. George L. Watson, designer of the last challenger, has promised to assist Mr. lu every way.

He will hand over to him the details of the construction of Shamrock II and all the calculations and details of the tank experiments, made at Dennys' yard. With these and the experience gained with Shamrock Mr. Fife starts his task with a distinct advantage over his first efforts. In a recent conversation with, a friend Mr. Watson indicated that he still believed Columbia's vlctorv over Shamrock II wa.

iargely due to luck, and that he believed shamrock II was quite Columbia's equal. Mr. FiTe Is already collecting material and WHI commence designing Shamrock HI as i soon as the' boats now pn hand Tor the next. yachting season are fairly started, which. nrnhnhlv will be at the end of this month, i shamrock III is to be ready early ia the i spring of H'03.

AFTER THE MARKETMEN. Controller Grout Threatens to Sue Those Who Are in Arrears fox Rent. Controller Grout intends to reform an abuse he has discovered in Wallabout. mar kef.

The' leases) provide that the buildings put ay by fhe'mat'ketmen shall revert to the city 1 ir the owners fall over ninety days behind in their rent payments. The payments are due at. the first of each month in advance, Mr. Grout finds that many of lh.est.all owners have taken the ninety day clause tb mean' they need not pay until thoy arc ahout three i months beh'nd. He has before him the case ot one.

man who on December 31 paid his rent for. October and still owes for November and Decern ber. This dilatory method is habitually pur sued by some men, and Mr. Grout intcnus to follow such up. He will ask the Corpora lieu Counsel to sue at law for rents due.

This will put charges upon the back and he thinks will induce them to come to time. The matter means considerable loss to the city, as it. lose3 interest for two months on money due in various small sums that together run into thousands. THE LATE REV. DR.

Unprecedented Demand Prom Every Quarter for the Volume Present Supply Almost Exhausted. Reports cf the sale of the Eagle Almanac IM' now 'coming in to the business office and Iready the demand is so great that the sup Ply is almost exhausted.

Large orders from the American, Brooklyn, Xewark and Long Inland News Companies bare been receired and are being filled with difficulty. The sale of the Almanacs at the office lias been greater than ever before. They were supplied to the desk at the rate of one hundred at a time, but this afternoon the number had to be increased to two hundred to keep up with the sale. The main Item of interest in connection with the book Is that it contains the officers of the local city government and much other municipal news which is not found in the Almanacs published on the first of the month. The sale at the branch offices has also heon larger than in years.

At the Bedford Branch twenty lire books were placed on sale and ir twenty five minutes all had been sold. The Eagle wagon in front of the Stants Zeitting building also reported all books sold and an order was received to send more over immediately. This afternoon, at half past 2. the supply at. tho office was rapidly dwindling and rush orders were sent to the press rooms for more.

There was an unprecedented demand for the new Eagle Almanac at the Eastern District branch of the Eagle this morning and the first supply was exhausted early in the forenoon. Later comers had to be satisfied with leaving their orders for the book, to be filled later in the day. when a fresh stock could be had from the Eagle's main office. Some of the people who secured their copies to day had had orders on file since late in December. In addition to all the other features of the Almanac which have made it in dlspensible to Brooklynites, and all New Yprkers as well, the new features added this year were highly spoken of.

DOCK BOARD PLACES INSECURE. Commissioner Hawkes Hopes to Throw Out. Democrats in Spite of Civil Service. MeDougall Hawkes, the organization Republican who is in charge of the Depart mentot Docks and Ferries, hopes, it is said, to oust all the Democrats holding places under him that he can lay his hands on. civil service or no civil service.

As a consequence, the Tammany men In the department, n'o outnumber those of other political faiths holding places, are liring in apprehension. The only way that Commissioner Hawkes can get rid of the men in the department who were appointed from civil service eligible lists is by abolishir.g their places, i This, according to the repo 1, is what he in tends to do. While his programme includes the abolishment or the places of the uude alrahle men he contemplates getting around the civil service l.wa later by recreating the places and fiiVmg them with other men who will be inorj acceptable. There are lvindreds or piace3 in the De partment of r.ocks and Ferries, but as in the of other departments of the city gpvernment they are almost all supposed to be. by civil service.

The great bulk of Cm employes in the department are men who have been appointed since consolidation, when Tammany went into power. It hrs been a matter of comme jt among the poU'. that in the distribution of patron age'under Mayor Low the Republican organization fared badly. Few out and out Repub V.canB of the Plait stripe found favor in the yos of the Fusion mayor. Mr.

Hawkes and Mr. Wilcox of the Park Department and one or two others were ihe only appointments made for the Republican organization. The programme of Commissioner Hawkes to sweep out of his department all the Tammany men employed there and appoint in their stead Republicans, if it. is found possible to do so. is one that has the full approval of the Republican machine leaders.

The fact that they expect dismissal and that there is to be wholesale shakeup in the Department of Docks and Ferries has been confided to their fronds by several of the men holding positions in the department within the If st few days.

Further informa ticn was forthcoming from the Mayor that Mr. Smith had written to him applying for the place in Brooklyn, stating that he would be willing to take the position without salary and would warrant keeping the streets of Brooklyn cleaner than they had been known to be fdr years.

Mr. Swanstrom did not inform the newspaper men who the applicant had been, but upon the name of Henry A. Smith being suggested, Mr. Swanstrom said: "Well, that Is a pretty good guess at the man." PRESIDENT INVITED. i Roosevelt ana Cabinet May Attend Dedication at Indianapolis.

CABLES HANG ALL RIGHT. Experiments on New Bridge Are Satisfactory Will Now "Work on Four Cahles at Once. The Roebling's Sons Company, who are constructing the cables for the New East River Bridge, have' found that the cables when completed will swing in the exact position calculated by their staff of engineers. It has been no easy task to accomplish this and those engaged in the work did not have their minds at rest until after an experiment on the part of Chief Engineer MUdenbrand, which set aside all doubt. This was accomplished by means of a siugle wire, which Wits stretched from the Brooklyn anchorage to the top of the Brooklyn tower.

Upon this single wire was put a tension equivalent to that which will be placed on the completed cables. jBy this means the single wire assumed the position into which the cables themselves will swing when finished and the saddles are put in their proper positions at the. top of each of the towers. Ther work of spinning the cables is being conducted in all kinds of weather aud at times when it is dangerous for the men to work. In this respect the company is ahead of time as it was ejected that the weather 1 fti tmmhf)i nf wnrkine days IVUUUl CUV unu v.

Primarily a chicken show, tbe affair, of course, brings forth In lesser numbers turkeys, ducks and geese, and thosa utilitarian branches of the feathered family made up the bulk of tbe show. The side issues pigeons, rabbits, cats, guinea pigs and cage birds are important and instructive in a great dogroo, and the whole lot together demand more opaoo than does any other of the annur.l fixtures which fill the groat arena. Not only is the entire floor space of tho main hall filled to Its limit, but tho entire first gallery Is taken up with hundreds of pigeons and the amitller breeds of chickens, while tho cats mako a groat, dignified overflow meeting in tho concert hall, and scores of sweet voiced nnarles, mocking bird, finches and other little feathered songstera play a continuous trilling; rolling, warbling melody in the restaurant.

QIIINN STILL IN HARNESS. Woodbury Says There Is Nothing Illegal Former Alderman Smith May Be Quinn's Successor. Street Cleaning Commissioner Woodbury said to day that until ho had had a consultation with Corporation Counsel Rives In reference to the lnt tor's opinion wltlt regard to' the appointments of deputies in Brooklyn and the other boroughs outside of Manhattan he would not remove Deputy Street Cleaning Commissioner Qulnn. Major Woodbury takes the ground that as' the budget made up by ihe Van Wyek administration and which is operative until changed by the present administration between now and next. June provided for a Deputy Commissioner of Si reel Cleaning Commissioner In Henry A.

Smith. Brooklyn. Queens and the Bronx, there is nothing illegal about the retention of Deputy Commissioner Quinn of this boroujh. It is admitted by the officials of the city government who are interested in the elucidation of the legal point brought up by Corporation Counsel Rives that the whole matter is thoroughly confused, and they are not altogether satisfied with the decision of ths Corporation Counsel. The newest development in the status of Deputy Commissioner Quinn and the other holdovers in the Street Cleaning Department, as well as in the Departments of Bridges and of Water, Gas and Electricity, is that there is a probability that the salaries of Deputy Commissioners Quinn, Mof fett and Beam of this borough may be held up by the Civil Service Commission when the.

pay rolls for the present month are presented to that body for authorization by the different heads of the departments involved. Colonel Willis L. Ogden, president of the Civil Service Commission, told an Eagle reporter this morning that the commissioners would take up the matter this afternoon. What action they are likely to take in tho question of whether or not under the ruling of the Corporation Counsel the three deputy commissioners In this horough who have held over from the last administration a'f'e. entitled to salnry for their services colonel Ogden would not say.

Cleaning Commissioner Woodbury was asked this morning what he purposed doing about the decision of Corporatioa Counsel Rives in reference to his Democratic holdover deputies and he answered that he was going to do nothing. Then he showed the reporter the sections of the charter on which the ruling of the Corporation Counsel is said to be based, and said that in his opinion the clauses of the charter referred to affected the deputy commissioner for Manhattan, or the deputy commissioner for the department, as he is designated by the charter, as much as they do the other deputies. The Street Cleaning Commisisoner then said that so long as deputies had been provided for the boroughs in dispute in the budget of former Street Cleaning Commissioner Nagio there was nothing to do but to maintain deputies in those boroughs until he had been otherwise directed by tbe BoaVd of Estimate and Apportionment "Do you expect, to apply to the Board of Estimate for power to appoint, deputies in Brooklyn and the other boroughs?" the Street. Cleaning Commissioner was asked. "No.

I don't." he answered. "I shall do nothing until I have been in consultation with Mr. Rives." "Then Mr. Quinn stays where he is?" "Certainly," was the answer. "This whole matter will have to be de cided by the Corporation Counsel." the Street Cleaning Commissioner continued after a moment's pause.

"He is the man who knows the law, I don't." "Well, in reference to Mr. Gibson, the deputy for your department, is he the deputy for Manhattan or for the whole city." "I'm blessed if I know," answered the street cleaning commissioner, throwing his hands up in the air, "you'll have to see him about, that." "Well, how about the salaries of these holdovers?" "Mr. Nagie's budget provides for themt" was the reply. Major Woodbury does not seem 1 0 be worrying over the situation any. A3 the reporter was leaving him this morning the commissioner remarked: "This thing is as badly muddled as the articles of association of a rase ball nine." Deputy Commissioner Quinn wore a self satisfied smile this morning when asked If he thought he.

would be continued in office by Major Woodbury. "Do you think you will have any trouble in drawing your salary because of the ruling of Corporation Counsel Rives that all deputy ships in the borough departments' had been abolished," he was asked. "Oh, no. guess not." he replied, adding quickly, "but I don't want to talk about the mat tor. I'd nic'er not to.

Anything In ref erenoe to my remaining in charge of the Street Cleaning Department here in Brooklyn I'd rather vcu got direct from Commissioner i Woodbury." "How about your prospects for remaining, Commissioner Quinn?" "Well. I den't know. Thoy seem to look bright, don't you think so." be responded, smilingly. It. hecame known around the Borough Hail beyond any question of dispute to day thai the man to be selected to suc i eecd Deputy Street Cleaning Commissioner Patrick TI.

Qulnn will lie former Alderman Henry A. Smith of the Twenty third Ward. Mr. Smith, it seems, in spite of the anpar ently non committal attitude of Street Cleaning Commissioner Woodbury toward I the appointment of a man to the place In i Brooklyn, has been under consideration for some time, practically. It Is said, since the I advent of the now administration.

fact that Mr. Smith will be the ap pointee of Major Woodbury was partly ad Prudence and Pleasure are often mil 05 apart, but it is prudent to get rid of your Cold quickly and it is pleasant to taka Halc'S Honey of Horehound and Tar, the safe, effective remedy for till Colds and Coughs. All druggists'. I'ike'f 'l'liiitlinclte Drop t'ltre in One Minnie Woodruff Outlines the Plans of th Local Republican Organization. TO PASS MAGISTRATES BILL Anticipate That Courts May Not Reach Definite Conclusion Before the Legislature Adjourns.

(Special to the Eagle.) Albany, January 14 The programme of the Republican, organization of Brooklyn with regard to legislation was to an extent outlined by Lieutenant Governor Woodruff this, afternoon. A bill to settle the magistrate muddle is to he Introduced and will be nasseil Utiles' some, decision is arrived at by the courts at an early day. A new com i mtaeinnai. rr ini.i, ism to in he introduced, i The Republican leaders here say there is no I anti Waldo bill in existence that they know of. Mr.

Woodruff said this morning that he understood a bill being prepared for introduction In the Legislature giving Mayor Low power to settle the dispute concerning the claim ot the two series of magistrates In Brooklyn to office. He added that lie had not seen the bill and was not conversant with the provisions. "I he said, "that it would be well to introduce such a measure early so that it could be in convenient position to pass if i the courts reached no definite conclusion before the Legislature adjourned." Mr. Woodruff said he had used bis influence tb have the matter settled in the courts and that Be thought it important that some determination be reached. He called attention to the fact that, the courts might decide that there were no legally elected or appointed magistrates in Brooklyn, leaving tho borough in a sad condition.

Both Mr. Woodruff and Senator Fuller denied that they knew anything about a bill to legislate Commissioner of Records Waldo out. of office. Mr. Woodruff said the first suggestion, so far as he was concerned, came from the newspapers.

Ex Judge Jacob Brenner is coming here to morrow to have a conference with Senator Elsberg concerning a new Commissioner of Records. It will be recalled that Senator Elsberg introduced the bill last year making the commissioner in New York, Kings and Erie Counties appointive by the appellate judges in each department of the supreme r. v. .1 rtment held that the tutional because, it it be considered local ve power.

The programme is to send him all wiio intrrifiueerl and from them draft a single measure ttrat will be accepted by the city authorities.

Senator Wagner said this morning that he had no special pride In his bill and that he would vote for any fair measure. The bill of Assemblyman Ash exempts three story tenements frcm Ihe provisions ot the act of last year, with reference to the size air shafts. The law is, amended as follows: "This act may be cited as the tenement house act and its provisions shall apply to cities of the first class, except that In th? counties of Kings and Queens any tenement house hereafter to be constructed which shall not be more than three stories in height and occupied or arranged to be occupied by no more than six families, shall be exempt from all the provisions of this act. except those relating to fire escapes. "Sub division 1 of the.se sections shall not apply to three story and basement high stoop dwelling houses located in the counties of Kings and Queens that have been converted into tenements." nCMnilUU UH IMCW WHICH DILL.) I To Investigate and Determine Source of Supply, Set for Pebru (Special to the Eagle.) Albany, January 14 A hearing on the Mc Carren bill providing for a commission to investigate and determine new source of water supply for New York City has been anranged by the Senate committee on February 4.

The Long Island representatives have already taken precautions that tbe bill shall not be passed without, amendments which will exempt Suffolk County from the operations ot the proposed act. Dr. Robinson, one ot the Assemblymen from Suffolk, to day declared that the Mc Carren bill Was only another attempt on the part of Brooklyn to get at the water supply of that section. He and Senator McKinney isaid they suspected the measure was 90 worded that it would enable the commission appointed to condemn lands in Suffolk County. "What we will demand," said Senator McKinney, "is that either it shall be specially provided that the commission shall have no power to condemn or that tha Burr act shall not be repealed as to its effect in preventing Brooklyn from coming into my district." Senator McCarren, when asked it the proposed water commission under the bill would have power to condemn property, said he imagined that was quite true.

"Yes. because you had been making false statements about me," said the prisoner boldly. At that the sick woman halt rose from her bed and made as if to reply to him. She was laboring under great excitement and it is believed would have struck at him but for the fact that she was gently pushed back 06 the bed.

It was all my mother in law's fault. She was twice married and Gorman ran away from her: "Ennlst you are in a bad fix," said Inspector Brennan to him when that official came into the building. Ennis took off his hat and made a poor effort to give his superior the official salute. "Yes, I know it. Inspector," he faltered.

"Yes. Ijrtiot her was what he said to In spector McLaughlin. "I cannot deny it. I walked the streets all night and was driven to despair. The trouble began last summer, when I took my wife to set my parents 111 Saratoga.

My mother in law had a warrant for my arrest and I was trying to stavp It nff. The deputy sheriff came and wanted to rjeize the furniture. It. cost me $500. Mrs.

Gorman tried to. break up my home, and she had the most perfect control over my wife. I wanted her back to live with me and I sent Father Horan of Canarsle to see her and to sec if the thing could not be fixed up. I also sent other friends to see her, but nothing could be done. It was all of no use." At thi3 point in his narration the man again hroke down and tears streamed down his cheeks as ho sobbed: "Oh.

my poor falher and mother. I was not brought, up like this. I'm sorry, so sorry, that I did it. My wife was a good woman." Ennis Arraigned in Court. After' the interviews with the superiors in headquarters the prisoner was taken into the gallery, where his photograph was taken by Mr.

Shcppard, the. veteran art 1st of the department. He was also mEasured and his pedigree was taken by Officer Hughes. He said that he was born in Troy and had been a policeman since 1393. WTnen the picture was taken Ennis was again placed In the patrol wagon and, perched He" was later arraigned before Magistrate aVWS Karsea I magistrate that for the present it would he better for him to plead not guilty to the ehnrgo of'murder that had been made against I him by Officer Crean and he did so.

Then he was committed to jail without bail, pending! a hearing The fact that tte act was premeditated is nWvr, hv .,1,1, ceived bv the first mail hv on nf hr frM in uanarsie. The letter was given to Can tain Brown, who declined to tell tho reporters to whom it had been sent. But the PG6tmark showed that had been mailed before 7 o'clock last night. Dear nlr Yen must pardon me for what done, but I waa driven to do it by tb? mother. Slio wa3 down to her lawyer yeeterday and wanted me to be locked up, and if he dirt not do no she wauhl take the case out of Ids hands.

A warrant was sworn out for my arrest at her request. I am norrj to do this. I go I want Mamie to ko with me. 1 would like if they will let be burled with her. Goodby.

BACK. 'The" Allen's Assistant Must Star' Trial in State Courts Points of the Decision. Judge Lacombe, in the United States Cirr cuit Court, Manhattan, to day handed down decision transferring the case of Charles Bennett, a former employe of The Allen, back to the Court of General Sessions, for trial. The motion on which the decision was handed was made by John R. Des Passos, counsel for Bennett, who contended that the law which permitted bets to be made at the race track was unconstitutional.

Bennett was indicted by the April Grand Jury tor an alleged violation of the law governing betting on horse races. The formal charge was that he handled bets for other people, and not at one of the race trucks designated" in the law of 1895. The case was taken to the Federal Court to tcsi the constitutionality ot the law of 1S93. He contended that a law which permitted legalized acts In come one particular place and made it a misdemeanor in another was necessaril yunconstitutional and deprived a man of the rights guaranteed him under the fourteenth amendment to the constitution. Judgo Lacombe.

in his opinion declares the law to be perfectly in accordance with the amendment, and says it deprives no one of their constitutional rights. The judgo cited instances 'where laws had been made to apply only, to particular localities, and ited the California Chinese law and that' of some or the Southern States restricting the actions of negroes. The discrimination, he said, was clearly based on other considerations than locality. 'He found nothing in the law that prohibited the state from permitting acts in one locality and not in another, provided, that the legislation in question was not against any class or classes or persons whose classification was upon any other than the commission of that particular act. Judge Lacombe after stating Bennett's case, saj's: "Defendant refers to section 1,977, United States Revised that provided that 'all.

persens shall have the same right to the full and eqttal benefit ot all laws and proceedings as enjoyed by white and shall be subject to. like punishment and no This section had no hearing on tbe case at the state statutes do not subject white persons who make bets to one kind of punishment and other persons to some other kind. "Defendant also refers to the fourteenth amendment to tho Constitution of the Unite! States. This amendment provides that nj state shall make or enforce any laws whisU shal abridge the privileges of citizens ot tho United States, nor deny to any porso'j within its jurisdiction the equal protection cf the law. The defendant claims that the statute of the state deny equal protection and individuals criminally tor acts committed in one 'place and not for the same acis committed eUewhora in the multitudinous authorities' construing' the amendment, most of wiiloh are cited iu the brief.

No case is found which sustains this proposition or holds that the state may not differentiate crimes and punishmehls it pleases, so long as such differentiation is not an en'ort. more or less disguised, to discriminate against a class of persons' by reason cf their race, color or some other individual distinction. There is nothing of that sort here, no class is discriminated against: every one, whoever he may be, who records a bet or wager in a other than the race course is subjgeted to tho same punishment. "It seems preposterous to hold that the fourteenth Amendment excludes a state from malting the commission of some particular act a crime if committed on the streets of a crowded city, in a church, or a public building', or navigable waters, or on the sea shore, or at night, and no offense if committed in some sparsely settled rural district, in the open country or non navigable waters, or in the mountains, or by daylight. "The amendment providos that in the administration criminal justice, no different or higher punishment should be imposed on one than such as is prescribed for all for like But legislation which, in carrying out a public purpose is limited in its application, if within the sphere of it3 operation it effects alike all persons situated, is not within fhc amendment."
