All Talk About X3apturing District Leaders Discounted by Atterbury, Who Expects to Win. The programme laid out by Lieutenant Governor Woodruff during bis recent stay in town, to annihilate both Atterbury and Waldo, the district leaders who have been most "persistent In the criticism of the Republican Management in Kings County, is rather startling to some of the other leaders who are now counted upon as his loyal supporters. "If Atterbury can be beaten," exclaimed one man, "what chance Is there for us to say our soul is our own? I have voted in the executive committee for Woodruff, but I am hound to say that it would be bad or lis If Atterbury is beaten." Expressions of a similar nature were made by several in a group of district leaders were standing discussing the situation yesterday near the Borough Hall and who requested that their names be not used (or obvious reasons.

They say there is little enough of freedom of action now and that it will not be to the advantage of the dis trict leaders to have the lines drawn any tighter. programme means absolut ism for him and Dady," said an independent Republican. "The proposition that because a man sees fit to say what he thinks about the party management he must bring down upon him the wrath the Lieutenant Gov ernor and all his resources is a dangerous proposition. "Mr. Woodruff told the people of the Twenty third Ward last year that it they chose Atterbury to be their leader again they would be ostracized.

That promise has been kept. Adam K. Letch, who made the fight against. Atterbury, was about the only Twenty third Warder to be rewarded, and he was rejected by the people to the tune of 600 votes. It will be a sad day for the Republican party when a member of a committee is afraid to vote against Mr.

Woodruff or Mr. Dady or to disagree with them." However that may be, Mr. Woodruff has Bet out to beat Atterbury and he does not propose to let up in the least. Atterburv is reearded as a dangerous man dangerous to the dominance of Woodruff and Dady. Should he be nominated to uon gress in the Third District it would bring ilm into great prominence.

This danger is thoroughly appreciated and Mr. Woodruff's labors are by no means disinterested. The Atterbury proposition is one to be met, and Atterbury squelched if possible. For that reason the Lieutenant Governor is giving more time to local politics than in several years. He is in daily conference with people who it to their advantage to join in the hunt of the Twenty third Ward leader.

The statement has been made repeatedly lately that, within the next two weeks every election district captain would be on Woodruff's 3ist of Woodruff men. On his part Atterbury said yesterday: "I have no knowledge of any such state of flairs. The men who are district captains in the Twenty third Ward are a very high class lot of men. In any case their desertion from the cause of decent politics would be 'esented by the 300 or more enrolled voters to each of the election districts in the Twenty third Ward. There are no important desertions from our side." If the fear expressed yesterday becomes general the contest in the Seventeenth Assembly District is apt to become of great general interest.

In the height of his power Richard Croker never announced his determination to help out a district leader. He has tolerated many who were hostile to him, and whatever his wishes were he never said publicly that any man should be turned out or deposed from his leadership. It must be confessed, however, that there are many Twenty third warders who are anxious, as they say, to get on the band wagon. Some of them are convinced that the organization prediction Atterbury Is right. Others hope a readjustment will benefit their personal fortunes.

To these reports Atterbury replies: "Unless I am mistaken the fight greatly resembles that of last year with the newest feature of Dadyism that is Gudenism thrown in. The people of the Twenty third Ward never falter when there is a moral Issue at stake. My own part in the matter is of small moment, but the right of the people to select representatives of their own choosing without dictation is of the very largest importance. Neither Mr. Dady nor Mr.

Woodruff has any right to tell us whom we shall elect. As I understand their position it Is that punishment must be meted out to those who question absolute control of the party." It is curious 'to listen to some of the reasons for Atterbury's deposition. One politician said yesterday that Atterbury was too much of a gentleman to be a district leader. Another said he stuck to his friends too closely, and another that he was too good a hater. "My ideal of a successful politician," said one man, "is Ernst Nathan, whom no man could insult.

No matter what you said about him he would shake your hand as cordially the next time he met you as if nothing had happened. Atterbury can never forget an an injury." une thing is certain, and that is that it win not be for lack of work if Atterbury falls. He is tireless, day and night. Scarce ly ever does he take a vacation, and winter or summer sees little difference in his activity. The report has been sent out recently that Atterbury is to be deprived of his office as Corporation Tax Commissioner.

The same report was circulated last winter, but nothing came of it. The explanation offered is the Guden business was being ventilated then, and it would not look well to turn Atterbury out then at a time when his enemies were being investigated by the Governor. The report that Andrew B. Rogers has left Atterbury for the oiTer of a congressional nomination by the opposition or by the lieutenant governor is very strongly denied by Atterbury's friends. Mr.

Rogers is a prominent member of the Union League Club, and has always acted with Atterbury. Andrew Jacobs said yesterday that Dady was now on the run in the First District. "Dady is out of it, and does not seem to care to run for an official position in the Republican party. We have got him where we want him at last." The First District reformers are going to take Into court the case of ah inspector and poll clerk who were removed from the lists otter bi ins duly appointed. The men are B.

B. Stanton and John E. Olsen, who were agreed upon ns inspector and poll clerk. It Is claimed that the election bureau changed the names nt the request of P. H.

Ralston and Dr Hutchinson. Mr. Dady said yesterday that he knew nothing about the matter. A bet of SI .000 is said to have been made yesterday that M. C.

Hanton would win In the Third District. KILLED WOMAN, SHOT HIMSELF. Mrs. Edith Cripps, 27 years old, of 401 West Fifty third street, Manhattan, was shot in the neck and killed at Tenth avenue and Fifty third street last night by William Bush. 25 years old, of the same address.

He then shot himself in the head and was taken in a dying condition to Roosevelt Hospital. BPECIAL A FEW MONTHS Spent in a modern family hotel is a panacea for "THAT TIRED FEELING," engendered by the servant question and high price ot coal. One of the most comfortable. THE ST.

attempt was made to day on the part of the Hudson Valley Railroad to reach an agreement with its striking employes, and the road from Troy to Warrensburgh is tied up with no indication of on immediate settlement. The trouble had its origin with the discharge of a motorman, Howard Osgood of Stillwater. Osgood's car was in a collision on the road a short time ago and he was discharged for gross negligence. The men demand the reinstatement of Osgood, claiming that the car he operated'' was detective and to that cause the collision was due; that all of the firemen be paid 16 cents an hour. The Hudson Valley Company's position is that the motorman was guilty of gross negligence and the men did not avail themselves of, their right to appeal to the executive committee of the company.

No developments are expected to night. The strikers are orderly. The company has not attempted to operate cars. SACKED HEART NUNS ARRIVE. Madre Cabrini Francisco, who says she Is the originator and leader the Order of the Sacred Heart, arrived on the steamship Etruria of the Cunard Line yesterday.

Bayswater, August 30 Edward Mc Cilntock.whlle at work on his naphtha launch to day, heard shrieks for help, a masculine bass mingling with a feminine contralto and a soprano. Hje hurriedly dropped his tools and headed the launch in the direction whence came the pitiful appeals for He found a Dartv of three In small catboat which had sprung a leak and was rapidly filling with water.

McCHntock, who is used to sailing in deep water, was inclined to laugh at the party's predicament, but seeing that they were badly frightened and considered themselves in imminent peril not knowing that the water in that 'part of the bay is barely deep enough for swimming he took them aboard the launch and landed them safely. On the way to shore McCHntock learned that the victims of the mishap were Willetts Boerum and the Misses Marearetta Lamar eux and Henrietta Slocum. They had gone out for a saii and had not proceeded far when their little craft began to leak and settle deeper and deeper in the water. Their position was very unpleasant, but not ex actly dangerous, but the prompt response of McCHntock to their cries certainly savea them from much discomfort if not actual peril. BROOKLYN THEATERS.

Columbia Theater. At the outset of the second season as a Btock theater the Columbia gathered an audience conspicuous for numbers and cordiality. Indeed, the cordiality was overdone in the gallery, and the management Is desired to slay the leaders of disturbance in that quarter, in order that peace may be assured for the coming winter. A perform ance of Hall Caine "Christian was given, that, in spite of the creaking of the Intel lectual machinery, was intelligible, animat ed and at moments even sympathetic. It was advantaged likewise In its scenery and accessories, and in good playing of the inciaentai music oy an orchestra tnat be tween the acts sawed cheap stuff in a way to draw tears.

Brooklyn is loyal to its stock companies, and it Is sure to take the new one to its bosom. It will continue to like Grace Reals, the Glory Quayle of last even ing, for her earnestness and conscientious effort. It already has a hand for Cari Smith Seerle, whose John Storm was strong, steady and will ripen with practice into a clean cut and purposeful embodiment. It had perhaps too ready laughter for the clowns, the good ness knows they struggled their hardest to make it. Even the villains, with their ac cordlon hats and cigarettes, were heard in a sort of respectful silence.

The cheer, simplicity and ease of Kate JeDson as Mrs, Callendar carried her into favor at once, and the men who played the priests played them with such benignance and dignity as to deserve especial praise. Some doubling of parts made the personalities a trifle confusing, but the names of Frank Rolleston Franklin Munnell, George Martin, Augusttn Glassmlre, Edna Lindon, Ann Scalfe and Maybelle. Rother may be singled for com mendation. Allowance is made for the very deliberate pace at which the play proceeded. Dut it win doubtless be finished before breakfast, and will move more rapidly hereafter.

The situation at the Columbia is hopeful. Grand Opera House. The Grand Opera House reopened for the season last night with Bartley Campbell's famous play, "My Partner." The redecorat ed Interior of the Grand resembles the moon in 'The Mikado," in that it "lights up well." The decorations of white and gold against a background of pink give a brilliant aspect to the house and the handsome panels, especially the large one above the proscenium arch, elicited many compliments. "My Partner" is one of the strongest, most vital melodramas on the stage and its reception last evening showed that even familiarity with the play through its use in stock houses had not weakened interest in it. The audience was large and especially demonstrative after the close of the second act, as it well might he.

Such a situation as that in which the lover of Mary Brandon is killed, in a way to throw inevitable suspicion on his partner, who knew of the guilty love between them, Is not evolved every day. It was the master stroke of Bartley Campbell's career and It has kept his play and his reputation alive through many changes In dramatic fashion. The performance by the company at the Grand was good without being notable. Daniel Gil fether made Joe Saunders sufficiently manly and warm hearted and carried the burden of the play upon his competent shoulders. It is the part, it will be remembered, which Louis Aldrich played for years.

The Chinaman who made Charles T. Parsloe famous Is now played by Frank Kendrick and elicits as many laughs as the original. James Nunn is the Major Henry Clay Britt, the politician, and plays with unction. Ruth Macauley is a movirig Mary Brandon; Lillian Douglass a pretty Grace, and Constance Hamblen plays Posle Pentland competently. Ralph Lewis, Mark Harrison and Edward Nagle fill in a good cast.

"My Partner" will be played all next week, with an extra matinee on Monday. It will he followed by "The Heart of GAGE TOLLNER'S TO OPEN. Well Known Restaurant Will Resume Its Season To morrow. Gage Tollner's chop and oyster house at 372 Fulton street, which has been closed during the summer months, will reopen on Monday for the winter season. The large restaurant has been put into condition for the winter festivities, and on the opening this week will show new paint and new fit tings.

One of the distinctive features of this noted chop house, which is one of Brook lvn's historic institutions, is that it has always closed its doors from the first day of June until the first of September. The custom, which is original with Gage Toll ner, has been followed for so many years that It is one of the traditions of the establishment. It Is the only restaurant in Brooklyn which makes a practice of closing for the summer months. This plan of taking a summer vacation does not at all interfere with the service when the house is opened. Unlike many similar places the large force of employes has grown up in the establishment, and many of tho waiters wear stars and bars to indicate the number of years that they have spent with the firm.

To them the summer vacation Is very acceptable. The majority of them are assured of their positions in the fall, and are therefore able to spend the summer at variovjs vatering places or in the country, where they nnd work wnlcn fills out the time. The plan is well known among the patrons of the house, who do not lose their regard for the place because the doors are closed against them for three months of the year. As in former years, both members of the firm will be actively engaged in the business of giving the people what they want. Mr.

Gage will preside, for the greater part of the time, at the cash drawer and Mr. Toll ner will inspect the oysters and clams. They will frequently change places Tor recreation. The restaurant will be opened in the morning at 10 o'clock and will close at 1 o'clock In the afternoon. SKYE TERRIER LITE That Is, He Tried to Be, but "Was Unsuccessful.

A little skye terrier tried life saving at a fire in the Parkville section this morning and barely escaped with his own. The family of John Madera live on East Seventh street, between Church and Caton avenues, in a house that is owned by Timothy Staple ton of East Eighth street. The house caught fire shortly after midnight and the family were awakened by the barking of their three dogs, tncluding the skye terrier. All of the family escaped, but the two bigger dogs and a cat were suffocated, although the skye terrier Is said to have tried to drag them into the open air. The house was damaged to the amount of J1.500, funy covered by insurance, anad Madra lost $1,000 worth of household goods.

Adv. IS FOR 20,000 MAJORITY. That Is in Case a Man Like Parker or Peckham Is the State Nominee This Year. TAMMANY NOT IN HIGH FAVOR. Wigwam Held Responsible for Disasters of the Past Conferences Expected This Week.

It is expected in the auction room that most of the important questions of relation ship to be borne by the Kings County Democratic machine to the state campaign will be settled during the current week. Senator Patrick H. McCarren, who with James Shevlin spent the month of August In Saratoga, and while there conferred with nearly all the state leaders, returned to Brooklyn yesterday. He will resume his daily calls at 9 Willoughby street on Monday. It is said also that Mr.

Shevlin may be in town this week. Both the leaders may see Hugh McLaughlin for political conferences during the week. Interest in the attitude of the leaders on candidates and with respect to details of the campaign is very keen among the members of the Executive Committee, who are preparing for active campaigning in their respective districts. The general belief among the Kings County Democrats is that Chief Judge Alton B. Parker or Federal Justice Rufus W.

Peck ham will be the party's candidate for Governor, in which event they confidently expect to carry the county by more than 20,000. The only fear entertained hy them is that local issues may be complicated by attempts at Tammany dominance, but this fear has been to a great, extent allayed by the firmness of the leaders, who are making it their business to guard against that threatened evil. The renewed alliance between the Kings leaders and ex Senator D. B. Hill has apparently had a good effect on the Kings County rank and file.

It is now pointed out that the disasters that have befallen the local Democracy since 1896 are traceable to the alliance with Tammany Hall following municipal consolidation. Before that time Kings and Hill worked in combination. Hill was not active in 1896 and Kings and Tam many drew together in the forlorn hope of the first Bryan campaign. Consolidation established the Tammany ascendancy in 1897, leaving Hill outside the breastworks. Tammany dictated the nom ination of the state ticket in 1898 and again in 1900.

It dictated the city ticket in 1901, Running under Tammany auspices. Van Wyck and Stanchfleld were defeated for governor and Edward M. Shepard for mayor, and the mayoralty defeat carried down the Kings County ticket also. While all these disasters were passing into history. Kings County leaders did not fall to credit them mainly to Tammany Hall.

They have been for four years chafing under Manhattan dictation. The changed aspect of the affairs this year has had the effect of restoring confidence locally, and the well informed leaderB of the Willoughby street organization think there will be a heavy Democratic vote. The local hopefulness is incidentally stimulated by the expectation that under Hill leader ship the interior counties will again show substantial Democratic gains, bringing easily within the possibilities the election of a Democratic governor and the full state ticket. Kings County will take a conspicuous part. according to the present outlook in the prosecution of the up state campaign.

Sen ator McCarren is expected to consent to conduct tho campaign as chairman of the new state committee to be designated by the convention. He will probably do consider able speaking on the issues in the interior counties. Edward M. Shepard is expected to make at least one speaking tour of the state after the ticket is named. Ex Uontroller Bird S.

Coler will, it is said, make several speeches in the larger citties dealing with the finan cial questions raised by the administration of Governor Odell. Among the Brooklyn orators who will speak throughout the state will be Martin W. Littleton, assistant dis trict attorney. Republican quarrels and disorganization in Kings County are expected to destroy Re publican enthusiasm and very largely increase the Democratic pluralities this year. It is also believed that the retirement of Lieu tenant Governor Woodruff will adversely af fect the Brooklyn Republican vote.

While ap preciating these favorable omens, however, the Brooklyn Democrats have not lost sight of the disorganization in Tammany Hall, and do not conceal tneir apprehension that It may more than offset the Brooklyn plur ality. MC COY OUT OF BELLEVUE. County Detective McClelland's Victim Survived With Bullet Imbedded in His Brain. James F. McCoy, who was shot by County Detective McClelland in a raiji upon the alleged poolroom in the Shernan House on the afternoon of June 2, walkid out of Belle vue Hospital yesterday a weli man.

The bul let fired by Jerome's detective, however, Is still imbedded in McCoy's brain. In saving the life of McCoy the doctors have effected one of the most notable pieces of surgery on record. Three times was the man operated on and while the wound closed and healed perfectly, the doctors were unable to find the bullet, which furrowed its way through the skull into the man's brain. Ac cording to the doctors the bullet Is not embedded in any of the tissues about the brain, but is embedded immediately In the brain. Yesterday McCoy brother in law.

P. J. Donahue of Boston, and his 14 year old son came to the hospital and took the patient away with them. Mr. Donahue said that Mc Coy would first go to Boston and then to some seashore resort in Massachusetts.

where he would be nursed back to strength by his sisters. Mr. Donahue said that later the cr.se against McClelland would be vig orously prosecuted. The only visible mark as a result of McCoy's experience is a slight drooping of the left eye and socket. When the injured man came to the hospital he weighed 180 pounds.

When he left he weighed but 122 pounds. S. S. LIGTJIRA IN DRYDOCK. S.

S. Peconic Will Be Hauled Out at High Tide To day. The steamship Ligurla, which was in collision with the Peconic a couple of days ago in the Narrows, was drydocked in the Erie Basin yesterday. Beth arc in the Italian trade. The former was Inward and the latter outward bound.

Both had pilots on board when the collision occurred and the underwriters will have to make good the damages. The Ligurla has a pretty bad smash In the port bow, reaching from the forward deck down half a dozen strakes. The Peconic, of Phelps Brothers' Mediterranean line, will go into drydock at Robbins' yard to day. Both will be on the sectional docks a6 the big graving docks are occupied by the International liner New York, and the Monteagle. Neither of these can come off for a couple of weeks.

It Is likely that the collision of the Lugurla and Peconic will cost $100,000 for repairs alone, to say nothing of the claims for damaged and non delivered cargo. 'S Fritz Found Fault With Kingston, Oht, Because City Did Not Belong to U. S. CONSPIRACY WAS A JOKE President of Brooklyn Society Was In dignant at Affront to an American Citizen. (Special to the Eagle.) Alexandria Bay, N.

August 30 President Theodore P. Fritz of the Arion Singing Society of Brooklyn, was' under arrest at Kingston, to day for a brief time on a charge of high treason, as the result of a practical joke perpetrated upon him by members of the big Brooklyn excursion party. Thd Arions left here this morning for the Canadian city. After a trolley ride and a Vicnic the party was received at the city hall by Mayor Morgan Shaw, W. L.

Shannon, city clerk; O. V. Bartels, treasurer; W. A. New lands, engineer, and G.

Thompson, tax col lector. The Brooklynites sang "Das 1st Der Tag Des Herrn," after which Mayor Shaw made an address, in which he spoke of his appreciation of the visit of the Americans, and expressed his regret that they could not make a longer stay. President Fritz, in his reply, said the. party had greatly enjoyed themselves. The only thing that could be found fault with, he declared, was the fact that Kingston did not belong to the United States.

The last remark was a cue for several members of the Arlon to give to their presi dent a few unhappy moments, and they per suaded Mayor Shaw to enter into a con spiracy with them to have Mr. Fritz arrested on the charge of high treason. The mayor accompanied the excursionists to the steam boat dock, and iUEt' before Mr. Fritz was ready to board the steamer he requested an officer to place him under Mr. Fritz naturally protested against the indignity put upon an American citizen, but explanations soon followed, and he was compelled to acknowledge that the joke was a good one.

Mr. Fritz is not likely to hear the last of the incident for some time, for several excursionists secured snap snots of the arrest, and the pictures will receive a nlace of honor In Arion Hall. Mayor Shaw promises to visit the Arions in Brooklyn at an early aate. A feature of the trip from Kingston was a picnic at Late Ontario Park. Mr.

Claas sen, the musical director, acted as conductor of the trolley car and in a like capacity at the carrousel in the park. At 7 o'clock to night the Arions started on a searchlight excursion around the Thousand Islands on the steamer St. Lawrence. They returned at 10 o'clock and the rest of the evening was spent In renewing friendships with singers of the Buffalo Orpheus, who ar rived to day. FUNERAL OF COLONEL HUBBELL.

WATCHING EXCURSION BOATS. Orders Issued by Collector Stranahan to Prevent Overcrowding' During Holidays. Collector of the Port Stranahan yesterday issued orders that a strict watch be kept yesterday, to day and to morrow over the excursion fleet of this port, for the purpose of preventing overcrowding. It was brought to the Collector's attention that the regular excursion lines exercise practically no supervision at their docks to prevent crowding and even hold their boats beyond the time of departure when they are already nnea to get a few more passengers, while the special excursions are even worse. It was expected that the crowds who want to get out of the city for a day during the three day holiday that began yesterday would be especially large, coming as it did in the middle of the vacation season, and the Col lector had been warned that some of the boats plying out of New York were getting old, and a trivial accident with the Kind of crowd that these boats are berin ning to carry might mean a serious catas trophe.

The Collector instructed his men to warn the managers of the different lines and the skippers of the boats that any viola tion of the regulations would result in immediate prosecutions of owners and mas ters. The Collector said that it was his purpose to compel exact obedience to all license rules affecting the safety of passengers. ONE ARREST AT THE TRACK.

The lad was very indignant because they did not let him get his money on the race and declared later, when he found that Carbuncle had won, that there had been an active hoodoo somewhere about him yesterday. The officers did not see him do anything out of the way, but he was acting "suspiciously," they declared, and they took him to headquarters on Smith street. Albert had a gold watch in his possession, but he declared that it was his. He was held for arraignment before Magistrate Tighe, in the Adam's street court, in the morning. He is locked up simply as a suspicious person.
