The meeting was called to order by Charles S. Devoy, and upon motion, Thomas Gerhart was nominated secretary, with William W. Morton teller.

Charles H. Believes Mrs. Horn Will Go No Further in Her Effort to Gain Possession of It. While the controversy over the now famous Box Horn diamond has apparently died out. so far as the principals are concerned, the matter continues to be the subject for considerable discussion among the friends of Mr.

Box and his "intimate friend," to whom he claims the diamond really belongs. As the story has gone the rounds It naturally has become considerably twisted and In its present distorted state has caused Mr. Box and his friend great inconvenience. It has kept him busy explaining the real Mr. Box.

whose full name is Charles lives with his parents at 113 India street and is employed as a bookkeeper with the Union Gas Company at 324 Bedford avenue. He is anxious to have publicly known that the diamond which figured in the controversy still sparkles on one of the fingers of his left hand. The claimant of the stone is Mrs. George E. Horn, who lives during the winter at 17 Magnolia street.

Jersey City. She. with her family, spend the summer months at Ocean Grove and it was at that' resort the romance surrounding the diamond originated. It began five years ago, when the stone suddenly disappeared and was not seen again until Mrs. Horn caught sight of the diamond on the hand of Mr.

Box at Wesley Lake during the middle of last month. She at once thought she recognized It as her lost jewel and, as the story was' reported, she secured legal assistance in order to recover it. Mr. Box intimates that the publicity given to the story was a bluff in order to frighten him. There was no scare, however, coming his way, he says, for the reason that he was able to prove wihtout a question of doubt how and where he got possession of the diamond, and It was during his explanation that his "intimate friend" was brought into the matter.

He believes now that when he failed to scare, the claimant dropped the matter for the reason that he encountered her on Saturday last at Wesley Lake and she made no renewal of her demand. He ha3 not seen the lawyer she is supposed to have retained to recover her supposed lost stone and, furthermore, he does not expect a visit from that legal personage. LAIMBEER MEN WON. At a meeting of the Fifth Election, Third Assembly District, held Monday evening at 216 Court street, for the purpose of nominating a ticket for the coming primaries, John W. Hodges, president of the district, presiding, the Laimbeer faction won out by a vote of 17 to 14.

Chairman Hodges, after seeing his defeat, adjourned the meeting against the protest of the majority. The Laimbeer opposition was led by C. Weller, H. Gold schmidt, J. Hughes and others.

Is a Candidate for the Vacancy of Associate Superintendent of Schools.

SAYS SHE WILL BE NOMINATED. If Successful. She Will Be the First Woman to Be Elected to the Board. The rness 'of the tint. for the deotioii of an A.

ocjat fity superintendent of Schools by the Hoard of Education, to take the place of Mr. i.p' r. who recently retired, has brought strontrly to the front all the candidates for th. position, which Is a coveted one, and there is quiet hut. strenuous work going on among the aspirants to further the chances of election.

Mr. Jasper's retirement from the active educational matters of the city, in which he has cut so great a figure for forty years past, has created a situation that has considerable interest in it for the public at large. To fill his position, as one of City Superintendent Maxwell's associates, there will be rivalry between the two big boroughs. claiming thnt the retiring associate, being a man. his successor should be elected from the same borough, while Brooklyn will assort with force that, she never had a fair representation on the Board of City Superintendents ami that, now is the time to heal the fault.

Brooklyn's claim for a greater representation on this board is based upon the fact that Richmond, with Its 4.u pupils, has one associate, and Brooklyn, with its or more, has but one more. Many of the district superintendents of Brooklyn have under their supervision five limes as many pupils as has the whole of the Borough of Richmond. Thin, too. the situation is interesting because, for the first time since consolidation, a woman has aspired to be a member of this ruling force in the educational work of tie city. This interesting candidate is Miss Grace C.

Strachan, District Superintendent, of Districts Nos. .11 and 34 and with twenty schools under her charge. Recently there has been some talk that Miss Strachan had withdrawn from the running. This is not true, for Miss Strachan. when seen at her home, 82 I'ierrepont street, last night, by an Eagle reporter, said that her name would be surely presented and she would be nominated at least for the vacancy at the meeting of the Board of Education when the matter of filling Mr.

Jasper's position was taken up. Miss Strachan's determination to succeed in her ambition was easily seen in her face. "There is some talk," she said, "that I am not a candidate for the vacancy of associate superintendent, but I wish my friends to know that I am a candidate and that. I will be nominated for the position. If 1 succeed in getting the place I will bo the first woman to be elected to the board.

1 believe the ambition is a laudable one for a woman to have. Ninety per cent, of the educational work in the city is done hy women, and It seems only right that any woman should aspire. If her education and training have been such as to warrant it, to any position, no matter how high, in her field of work." Beside Miss Strachan there are other candidates. District Superintendent Shallow of Brooklyn and District. Superintendents Ed son and of Manhattan ar making a spirited canvass for the place.

It is said that, the matter will be settled at the next regular meeting of the Board of Education, on September 24, and that, all of the candidates have secured promises of support from members of the board. Miss Strachan's service in the Brooklyn schools has been a long and honorable one. She came here at the request, of Professor Franklin W. Hooper. She was first a graduating class teacher In Public School No.

11, going soon after to the faculty of the Training School for Teachers. She then became principal of Public School No. 42, and afterward principal of Evening Hich School No. 85. in which capacity she served until elected District Superintendent, two years ago.

DINGMAN'S FERRY. Dingman's Ferry. September 11 Among the resorts within easy access of New York, which remain open during the fall season few can offer greater charms than Dingman's Ferry, in the center of the Valley of the Delaware. A drive along the famous river road, with the mountains towering high above you. studded with venerable trees, in ail the brilliancy of their fall jiiumago.

is a treat not soon to be for pottpn. Then there are the many mountain drives through miles of dense woods where the horses the leaves with their hecfr and win re chestnuts are to bo had by the basket for the trouble cf picking. Then a turn in the road brings you out in the open, where a rare panorama lies before you a view of valley and river lined with red and gold.

which involve walks or drives, are among the daily fall amusements.

Warships to Watch Panama. WASHINGTON In consequence of the alarming situation in the Isthmus of Panama. Secretary Moody has telegraphed to the commanders of the battleship Wisconsin, now at Bremerton. and the cruiser Cincinnati, at Cape Haytien, directing them to proceed to the isthmus. The Wisconsin will reinforce the Ranger at Panama, and the Cincinnati will be stationed at Colon.

It will take the Wisconsin fully twenty days to make the long trip. The Cincinnati, however, will consume only a few days. The commanders of the Cincinnati and Wisconsin will be instructed to enforce our treaty stipulations with Colombia strictly by pre venting any interference with traffic across the isthmus, and also to prevent a bombardment of Panama from the sea on the ground that this in itself would constitute a menace to traffic. Cubans Forcing Reciprocity. WASHINGTON The positive statement is made that the President and his official advisers do not view with favor the proposed Cuban loan of $35,000,000.

Administration officials have grave doubts as to whether Cuba can repay the money it intends to borrow. The obtaining of money and failure to pay either interest or principal would cause serious complications. It is also doubted whether so large a sum is really needed. The administration feels that it is now placed in an embarrassing altitude. When the Cubans accepted the Piatt amendment from President McKinley there was a moral obligation to give reciprocal trade relations in return.

This obligation has not been made good. Officials feel that a strict I compliance with the Piatt amendment can hardly be demanded until the United States has carried into effect its part of the implied agreement. FOREIGN. Edward, in Kilt, Sees Braemar Games. BRABMAR.

TERMINALS TO COST $1 ,000,000. Cash and City Bonds Furnished as Security by the Construction Company.

The signing of the Brooklyn Tunnel contract yesterday afternoon paves the way for the commencement of actual work on the art tension to this borough. The delay of seven weeks in its signing has been productive of no real harm since the preliminaries, which take time, have been steadily shaping themselves. The Rapid Transit Commission yesterday, after the contract was signed by Mr. Orr and the securities were duly placed in Controller Grout's hands, on the latter's motion adopted a resolution calling upon the Board of Estimate to provide $3,000,000 in bonds to meet the contract, $2,000,000 of which is to pay for the work itself according to contract, and the other $1,000,000 the allowance made the contractor for the purchase of terminals. To day the Board of Estimate will honor this requisition The action of the Rapid Transit Subway Construction Company in furnishing as security cash and city bonds was the result of the refusal to submit to extortionate demands made by the surety companies.

They asked for so much that in the end they got nothing. The "board approved the form of a contract with the Interborough Rapid Transit Company, which will operate the Manhattan Bronx underground and the Brooklyn extension, by which the Interborough Company becomes bound to live up to the traffic agreements made by the Rapid Transit Subway Construction Company in its contract for the Brooklyn tunnel. Controller Grout got the board to authorize the chief engineers to prepare plans for a route up Jerome avenue in the Bronx in connection with the proposed East Side route, and it was agreed to give the Bronx people a public bearing next week. Mr. Grout said the city authorities hoped to have a substantial sum in hand next year for subway construction and he thought the chief engineer should proceed to lay out the proposed new routes without delay, so that they can be decided upon and approved by the time contracts can be made.

The Controller expressed the opinion that the routes for a second tunnel to Brooklyn up the East Side and on Jerome avenue and down Broadway, Manhattan, from Forty second street to the Battery, should be laid out. He declared his belief that construction on all of these routes can be started next year so far as the city is concerned financially, and without hampering the development of the bridge, dock, water and school systems. The Controller's statement shows that he is anticipating the city's greatly increased capacity to bond itself in the near future as the result of the full value assessments, and that he stands ready to vote for bonds to carry on pressing public improvements. In fact, after yesterday's meeting, Mr. Grout said this was what he meant, and he believed that the city could next year begin work on all the four new rapid transit routes named.

On Mayor Low's motion the board voted for the naming by President Orr of a commission of three experts to study the question of track laying in the tunnel. The contractor desires to lay a ballasted track different from the smooth surface track suggested in the specifications by Mr. Par sens. Mayor Low thought the subject required careful study, as the comfort of passengers was the chief consideration, and he desired the one that would make the least vibration and consequently the least noise The Mayor also asked Mr. Parsons about the condition of Elm and the latter said its paving could proceed at once, north of Spring street.

While subway work down to Howard street was practically completed, the steel construction is all in down to Canal street. Mr. Parsons said all his office force had been employed for the last few weeks getting In shape the detailed working plans for the Brooklyn tunnel. Everything else had had to give way to this. Then, too, he had laid asidetemporarily other work to complete the plans for the subway connecting the bridges.

This he regarded as next in importance now. The chief engineer promised to have ready for Controller Grout in a few days a complete record of extras an Mr. McDonald's contract. This record is necessary before Mr. Grout can pass on vouchers before him.

Mr. Grout took down from the meeting the $1,000,000 check and the $1,000,000 of bonde given as security. Later he deposited them in a finance department vault over night. RECEPTION TO BISHOP DERRICK. A reception was tendered last night to Bishop and Mrs.

Coler Club of the Twentieth Assembly District met at Evergreen Palace, corner of Evergreen avenue and Palmetto street, last ninht. and listened to an earnest address from Otto Kempner in behalf of the candidacy of Mr. Color for governor. Mr. Kempner at the same time vigorously attacked Tammany Hall and advised his hearers to vote against Denis Winter for leader of the Twentieth District.

Edward Coleman presided and Thomas C. Hale, the secretary, read the minutes of the meeting, which were interpersed with flashes of humor, announcing that a watermelon would be cut and other kindred information. Mr. Kempner spoke informally but earnestly. He expressed his pleasure that there were so many to hear him at this time.

He referred to Bird S. Color as the man who. when first chosen controller, was thought to be loo young for the responsible position, but who 'ltd not take long to satisfy the people that he was honest as well as efficient. He knew and performed his duties in office well, beside going outside the lines of his office duties to watch th" interests of the people. He showed that he knew their rishts by his advocacy of municipal ownership.

What he stood for then he stands for to day, the cause of the laboring man and the taxpayer, and when he left the office and for the six months that has passed since then not a breath of scandal has associated itself with his official conduct. So well was he esteemed that his nomination for governor was demanded by the common people, echoing that voice. Mr. Kempner said that he went to Saratoga as a delegate from the Twentieth Assembly District to vote for Mr. Coler.

Yet through the power of an illiterate and tyrannical boss, who is an exile from his adopted country, Richard Croker. he was defpated in the convention. Mr. Kempner said he was proud of the honor of being the only delegate from the Greater New York who voted for and spoke in behalf of Bird S. Coler In the convention, though the delegation from the Seventeenth Assembly District had been instructed to support him.

Mr. Kempner branded as cowards the dele gates who submitted to the dictation of the; bosses. He referred to Mr. Color's action on the Ramapo matter as proof of his hon esty and courage, and said that the opposi tion of Croker was due to a personal enmity. because Mr.

Coler had truly characterized him as the emhodimpnt of commercialism in i politics. He closed by saying that the great wrong done Mr. Coler should be righted, i anil said that if he were a delegate to the coming state convention he would vote and speak again for Mr. Coler for governor, and i he would be nominated, as the sentiment of the stat.p Democracy was for him. He fur ther urged those present to vote against Den is Winter as executive member from the Twentieth District, as he c'id not think him a representative man.

Ho favored the home rule candidate, John J. Hughes, who with himself would try to give the people of the district a proper representation in the councils of the party. INDEPENDENTS SCARCE.
