REPAIRS ORDERED AFTER RED TAPE AND DELAY. Stormy Session of the Kings and Queens County Joint Committee Limited to $1,500. (Special to the Eagle.) Long Island City, L. July 1 After much red tape and wrangling, a sub committee of the joint bridge committee of Kings and Queens counties will to day give out the contract for the repairing of the Vernon avenue and Manhattan avenue draw bridge over Newtown creek, which was badly wrecked two weeks ago by the big steel oil ship British Isle. The committee comprises Aldermen Wassmuth and Francisco of Kings, and Supervisors Korfmann arid Denton of Queens.

The joint bridge comittee of both counties met at' the court house in this city yesterday afternoon. Alderman Williams presided, and Alderman Wassmuth recorded. The meeting was a special one, called for the purpose of taking action to repair the condemned bridge immediately. Although the dilapidated structure cannot be closed to allow teams to cross over and threatens to topple from its bearings into the creek at any moment, it looked at one time during the meeting as if the repairs would still furthe be delayed. Alderman Wissmuth stated that owing to the delay caused in waiting for the opinion of Corporation Counsel Burr as to the powers of the Kings county committee the latter committee had not been given an opportunity to solicit bids for the repairs, and that it was only fair that the Kings county committee be given an opportunity.

Supervisor Korfman said that the Queens county committee had solicited six bids, two of which were from Kings county firms, but the bids had not been received or opened. Alderman Wassmuth made a motion that the chair appoint a committee of two from each county on repairs. Supervisor Van Nostrand amended the motion that the Queens county committee select Its own two members on the committee. Both the amendment and motion were lost by a tie vote. With a view to breaking the deadlock, Townsend Scudder, counsel to the Queens county board was granted the privilege qf the floor and addressed the committee at length.

He contended that the Queens county members ought to be granted the privilege of selecting its own two members best qualified for bridge affairs, and that Chairman Williams was not so competent a judge on account of being unfamiliar with the geographical lines of the respective members. The remarks of Scudder only added fuel to the discussion and a wrangle lasted for fully a half hour over the appointment of a subcommittee of two from Queens, when finally Supervisor Van Nostrand made a motion, which was acceptable to the Kings county members, that the chairman of thn Otibotir bridge committee suggest two names to the cnair. supervisor Beimel named Supervisors Korfman and Van Nostrand. The lat member did not seem to be acceptable to the Kings county members and, after some remarks, he asked to be relieved and Supervisor Denton was appointed In his stead. Engineer McLaughlin stated that the bridge could not now be repaired much short of S1.iKi.

ai. though the damage might have been repaired ior ouu or witnin it nad been promptly attended to. The committee passed a resolution to repair the damaged brldce at once at a cost not to exceed The committee tnen passed resolutions to advertise for designs and plans for a new bridge to replace the condemned structure in question, the designs and bids to be received at the common council chamber in the City o' Brooklvn. nn July 23, at 2 o'clock. Compensation will only be paid to the bridge engineer whose plan is approved.

THE DISPUTE NOT SETTLED. Trouble Between Health and Customs Officers. The difference between the local health authorities and the officials at the custom house over decayed fruit which has been dumped at Brooklyn wharves has not yet been settled. Several days ago Collector Kllbreth secured a formal complaint from Commissioner Emery, which, in substance, stated that the health officials had condemned and ordered destroyed a quantity of fruit, which had been dumped on a dock Just below the bridge.

The customs ofllcer on duty at the dock had refused to alllow the health officials to Interfere. Collector Kllbreth replied that the fruit could not be destroyed until the owners had resigned all right to it and the customs officers had examined and appraised it. The health officials claim the right to destroy unwholesome fruit without delay, and Mr. Albert R. Moon, the counsel to the department, is now preparing a brief stating the law on theisub ject.

Mr. Moon's brief Is not ready yet. TO RESTRAIN A. MEETING. Lyman C.

One half of Marshal Hayden's Force Abolished by Attorney General Harmon to Cut Down Federal ExpendituresDistrict Attorney Bennett Becomes a Salaried Officer From Now On, The Service Maj Be Badly Crippled. There Is vexation and astonishment in the Tederal building to day over the action of Attorney General Harmon in cutting down the forces of Collector KeUey's and Marshal Hayden's offices.

The marshal is much the greater sufferer, half of his whole force having been lopped off. His office has Just gone into the new salary system, all fees having been abolished. Formerly the United States marshal was paid almost entirely by fees, his stated salary being only $200 a year. The maximum amount of fees that he might receive for hifs services was $6,000. This sum was seldom reached.

The fees were received as follows: Two per cent, on all disbursements through his office and a fixed fee for each libel service and sale in admiralty. These commissions generally amounted to about a year. Under the new act of congress the marshal's salary is at The number cf his deputies and their salaries is left at the discretion cf the attorney general. Attorney General Harmon asked Marshal Hayden for a description of ijio wwa. oi me aistrict and a list of his deputies, aotn were furnished.

Yesterday receivea irom Washington that until further orders he would be allowed for his total force one chief deputy, at a salary two deputies at salaries of 1,000 each. The force has const oi regular men heretofore, as follows: Frederick C. Bliss, chief deputy, and Henry Evarts, Charles Koch, Louis M. Young, John Heydinger and Redmond J. McManus.

Marshal Haydn had no alternative to the discharge of three of the men. pointed Frederick C. Bliss as his chief deputy and Evarts and Koch deputies. The others were notified that they would be compelled to go. Marshal Hayden declared cannot be maintain offinttnrit, force at his command.

He will go to Washington to make representations to the governmental authorities and hopes to secure the reappointment of the three men now turned adrift. Collector Kellev recnlvefl ni rvt Washington notice that he i omna ana mat tte would have to rearrange his force as best he might. Mr. Kolley has accordingly been compelled to abolisn one of the dennt ii no W1U1 lne services of Frederick William Janssen of West Brighton, and put that district in the hands of Ccm 18 chare of the Coney Island ir1" appropriation for Collector Kelley's office, exeentlnn fh eau6cio ia veAT fwer was collected Tv more man nas ever been $22,000 was collected In fines, nr. mt ITallan 1 OCA ftrr conv ctions secured.

During the ad minis.tration of President Garfield, when RodneyiC. Ward was collector; the forte in his office was larger than it is to day though the receipts were only half as much. In New York the cut has been ever. Iff an ln Kelley's office. In S.

5isjricta tw positions have been District Attoinev Bennett fflo. der the salary system to day. It has here iev omce witn a stated salary of only $200 to cover any services other than those provided for in the fee linr Mr Bennett a salary iSjflxed by the a year the attorney general is empowered to fix the salary of the nsaiora nf attorney at Ms discretion, not, however to exceed at the highest $2,500. Mr Roy's 'sal. ary in the past has been $2,000.

The change Will T10 Off oof "him The eystem of fees In fhe rrti. ox j. wuidcu vj Lit UtXi district attorney's office has been uniform In criminal cases the charges were as follows $50 for conviction; $10 for a plea of guilty 35 for ear in ora $5 for each davfc or before a United States commissioner $5 for thejentry of orders of any kind. In civil actions the docket fee of $20 was virtually a trial fee. In addition to this 2 per cent on all moneys collected or such a sum as the head of the particular dfeDartment whose care the case ally been received as a fee.

The district attorney's office in New York has been a salaried one for a number of years. The fees received in the district attorney's office in this city approximated the salarv compensation. A. succesion of important cases many given times would of course havo raised the fees largely. NEW POLICE CAPTAINS.

One was short and inclined to be stout, a blonde, with lignt hair and merry eyes. The other was slender, younger and ap parently a country girl of demure habits. Finally, one of the court officers walked up to them and asked them if they had any par ticular business in court. "Oh, no," was the reply of the girl with the merry eyes.

"No particular business. We're waiting for our husband. A detective has gone after him and when comes here we're going to make a charee of bleamv against him."

RUSH FOR SEATS AT HENLEY. Americans Have Bought Up Many of the Best Positions Near the Finish. The New Haven Boys Discard English. Oars and Do Better Wortc. Fast Time Made toy the Leander Eight.

Henley on Thames, July "1 The near ap proach of the days' set apart for the royal Henley regatta, July 6, 7. 8' and 9, is increas ing the already very great interest mani fested in the gallant young Americans who are going to uphold the glorious traditions of Yale. On all sides the' New Haven oarsmen are classed as thorough gentlemen and sports men o.C the first water. Consequently, how ever' strong may be the desire among Englishmen to see the grand challenge cup suc cessfully defended by a home crew nobody will begrudge the Yale boys the victory if they defeat the crack crews of Britain and their triumph Is certain to be greeted almost as enthusiastically as if Leander or New college turn out to be the winners. The utmost good feeling prevails on all sides, the cup of good fellowship is overflow ing and when the rival crews measure oars on Tuesday next it will be In healthy, honest rivalry, with no tinge of bitterness on either side.

'The withdrawal of the Eton boys having been gracefully brought about, there will be no necessity, for rowing a trial heat for the grand on July 6 and the first contest for tnat tropny win, tnereiore, occur on the day following. A change for the better in many respects was made in the Yale boat to day. The En glish oars have been triad and found not adapted to the Yale crew. As a result they have been discarded and American oars will carry the sons of old Ell to victory or to defeat, in any case, the sturdy youngsters from Yale can be confidently reckoned upon to give a good account of themselves. There is no cocksnreness about them or their friends, but they will row their best, are in the pink of condition and will at least come very near cap turing the Grand.

That is about the situation of affairs from the American standpoint, al though Bob Cook appears to look gloomy. shakes his head somewhat despondingly and intimates that he is not satisfied with the' of his pupils. But Boh Cook has been known to do the same thing, many times before, and then have his crew walk away from their op ponents, to the great dismay of the latter. In fact, the throwing of cold water upon the chances of Yale crews is in some quarters looked upon as being an old trick of the master coach, so not much importance is attached to his cloudy forebodings. Everybody about the Yale headquarters for the best, and few people would be astonlshea to see che dark blue of Yale driven to victory on the Thames.

Mr: Cook is watching his charges more tenderly than the most motherly hen ever watched a brood of promising and if his hustling and scratching does not turn them out winners it will not be because he has neglected a single chance to improve them. He has not been too proud to try everything in the English style ot rowing which looked likely to be advantageous to Yale and this policy, instead of being sneered at, has met with the heartiest approval from the oarsmen and critics of The Trinity (Cambridge) people have been particularly courteous to tne Americans. J. B. dose, die coach of the college's first crew, has everything possible to 'assist Mr.

Cook in his work and when Clarke, the coxswain of the Yale boat, was under the weather, the coxswain ot Trinity took his piace and thus added to the nice feeling existing at Henley. Bob Cook this morning was out on horseback and put the" Yale men over the second halt ol the course In 3:25 with a thirty eight stroke. This Is the best time yet made and it has done much to give confidence to the Americans and their supporters. The New College crew did the same distance in the same time a few days ago, but under better conditions. This fine work of the Americans would seem to show that Mr.

Cook acted wisely in deciding to use the American oars. There was a strong wind off the Bucks shore 'this morning and a heavy fog made matters still, more Uncomfortable, but sthe Yale hoys were out for early "They were compelled, however, to wait 'until 11 o'clock for the ends of their slides to be lowered and placed at the angle thev occu pied previous to trying the English style of even slides. The men then did some short stretches above the bridge with the old oars ana snaes in regular position and pronounced themselves as being better satisfied. Mr. Cook during this preliminary work coached the crew from a pair oar and seemed better satisnea tnan tor some days past, i Later he sent them over the.

second half of the course with the American oars, in the best time yet made. This, therefore, may be said to he a triumph for the American cars and American system of using the slides. In any case, the boys like the old styles of tnings oetter man tne iungnsn styles, and it is too late, even if the former have their advantages, to break the Yale men into using them to advantage. Captain Treadway does not conceal his dis like for the. English oars.

says he likes' tne American article mucn Detter, and he Is not aione in inis opinion. Clarke, the American coxswain, was well enough to bo in the Yale boat, and handled the rudder ropes admirably, in spite of the met tnat ne was au mumea up. Leander did the course in 7:10, covering the first half in 3:31, with a thirty eight buusb; out tne memoers oi tne crew were exhausted at the finish. Trinity, rowing short Btretches against the second crew of that college and with the latter close, aia tne course ln 7:23. New college made a retord over the minute barrier, going 127 feet beyond.

Leander and New colleges are looker! as Yale's strongest rivals, and the latter, it is umiiuAi, win a. lot oi oeating. Trinity hall, wUh five members of the crew which beat Cornell, may also be looked upon us ckuuu lo put up a gooa race, and so tne contest for the grand may be said to have narrowed down to Yale, Leander, New and MTinity naii. xne wisnes or every true sportsman are: "May the best crew win." Nearly half of the seats on oneeranrl crnnfl near the finish, have been turned over to the Americans ior tne accommodation of their friends, and it was the desire to have as many as possible of the latter present whteh combined with other reasons, prompted the neniey regatta people to Dnng about the withdrawal ot the Eton school boys. Had they not done so, the first trial heats would have been rowed on Monday next, and many people from across the Atlantic Yale men esneetniiu might have missed the pleasure of seeing Yale win her first heat.

WON'T REDUCE THE VERDICT. Justice Van Wyck has refused to grant a new trial or to reduce the verdict of 825,000 awarded to Elizabeth R. Schmitt by a jury as damages against the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, New York, for the death of her husband Frederick Schmitt, who was killed on upper floor of the building at 1 Madison' avenue, by the descent of an elevator.
