TOURING CAR ABANDONED. Bad Accident Near Coney Island, Following Evening of Fun at Mardi Gras. Four persons were injured at an early hour this morning on Ocean parkway, near Avenue when an automobile enwhed into and overturned a carriage. The Injured were John J. Kelly, 47 years old, of 9 Poplar street; Helen Kelly, 30 years old, of 225 Fourth avenue, Manhattan; Helen Clark, 25 years old, of 1'25 Fourth avenue, Manhattan, and Charles Seniarski, 27 years old, of 215 Twenty-third street, this borough.

All sustained bruises to head, arms and body and after being attended at the Reception oHspital to which they were removed by Ambulance Surgeon Plunkitt, they were able to go home. The occupants of the carriage were the only persons who were Injured so far as can! be learned. The men and women in the automobile left Ihe big machine by the roadside and escaped. The machine carried the No. 65.032 and was registered In this state.

According to the police the automobile is owned by Mrs. Edward Rice of the Hotel Manhattan. The carriage is owned by Jacob Schae-fcr of 4413 Third avenue, and was ons of those used in the Mardi Gras celebration durinp the week. It was driven by Edward Ferguson of 265 Forty-flixth sireet. an was on' Its way up Ocean parkway about 4 o'clock this morning when the big touring car came tearing down on it and struck It.

The' carriage was struck a glancing blow and was overturned. The occupants were all thrown out on tbe roadway and were cut and bruised. The men In the automobile got out of the machine and disappeared in the darkness. The police of the Sheeptshead Bay station took the aulomubile to the police station on Avenue U. The members of the carriage party say the automobile came up behind them at.

high speed without so much as a honk of warning and the first they knew of their danger was a crash and they were scattered in the road. How all managed to escape in both the collision and the fall is a mystery. The driver was hurled directly under his team, and although the horses attempted to lun away ho came out t.f tli? mixup prai tlcailj unscathed, a few patches akin scraped oft and torn clothing hardly counting. Edward Ferguson, the driver, of 225 Forty-sixth street, Brooklyn, after disentangling himself from his team, proceeded to calm the plunging horses. He then cut them loose from the remains of the barouche and tok them to the stable of their owner, Jacob Schaffer, at 4014 Third avenue.

Brooklyn. By the time the Dersonn who ha.i Koon thrown from the barouche picked themselves up there was not a sign of driver or passenger about the automobile that had run them down. Whether the Joy riders had been thrown out or not they had lost no time in losing themselves in the darkness, according to the custom of their kind, without even stopping to see If they had hurt any one. Scutarski, who seemed to be in charge of the party that fared worst In the smashup. told the police that he anl Kelly had been seeing the carnival sights with the young women, and that when they started for home thev found the trolley stations at Coney so crowded they decided to take a carriage as far aa Ocean Parkway and Coney Island avenue, at the southerly end of Prospect Park, where the surface cars transfer, and where they figured out that they would have a better chance of getting a seat.

They had gone hardly any distance before they were run down by the automobile. OLD-SOLDIER IN COURT. For Threatening Saloonkeeper With Army Sword Is Held on Attempted Assault Charge. Because, It is alleged, Henry Clay Var Buren, 66 years old, of 64 North Portland avenue, a veteran In good standing of th Civil War, was foolish enough last night to flourish a sword four feet long of thf old army pattern, over the head of Samuel Weill, a saloon keeper of the same ad dress, was arrested and was held to-day by Magistrate Naumer in the Myrtle ave nue court In $1,000 bail for further exam ination on Tuesday on a charge of attempted fenlonious assault. A friend later on bailed Ihe defendant out.

Magistrate Naumer said It was an unpnleasant duty for him to think that he would be obliged 10 noia a war veteran, out he was com pelled to do siv What seemed to distress Mr. Weill moost was that the old soldier said: "There is no plaeeon earth for Jews. I own the country. I fought for it." ana then, suiting the action to the word, the complainant made a dive before the court to show how his head would certainly have fallen off had he not dueker. Thf old soldier said that It was a piece of foolishness for the complainant to make the eharrge he did.

Sunderly of Corymana to represent Albany 'ounty on t.hn gone rat commit IM ui tat uew itagut. to of is he Jrenner Smashes Cut and Dried Programme by Refusing to Fuse on Local Ticket.

HEARST IS ANOTHER PROBLEM, Accused of Wanting the Earth, With Municipal Ownership Fence Around It. As a result of a mixup in the signals between Tim Woodruff and Jacob Brenner it looks to-day as though the allied anti-Tammany forces have encountered a mighty bad snng right at. the outset of their campaign to put Murphy out of business. Brenner says there can be no fusion In the makeup of the Brooklyn borough ticket. The bosses of this movement say there must and shall be fusion jn Brooklyn and all along the line, i Brenner raised I be only discordant note 'at yesterday's meeting of the anti-Tam-fmany representatives.

A cut and dried programme had been arranged. It was all i ypew nuen in advance, jvery mu.e uu been planned, even down to the motion to adjourn by Brenner. There was one point on which the latter had not been advised. This wa3 the proposition to authorize the committee on candidates to submit fusion tickets for the several boroughs as well as for the city. "There must be a mistake." said Brenner, jumping to his feet.

"That resolution ought not to provide for fusion tickets in this borough. We are to fuse only on a city ticket." There were some mumbled words about the custom being always to fuse on local Its well as city tickets. This was dis- puted by Brenner. He declared that uch movements as the present one were merely for the purpose of arranging a ity ticket, and that the local tickets were not to be interferred with. He didn't like the idea of having men from the Bronx and Manhattan handing him a slate of officers to be nominated in Brooklyn.

The matter was glo'sed over by an Intimation from Chairman Outerbridge that the tickets would be merely tentative, just a bit of advice for the guidance of the leaders In the various boroughs, and that nobody was bound accept them. This was satisfactory to Brenner, and he subsided In the com--lorting belief that the committee's recommendations could be tossed into the waste basket when the time arrived. Brenner, Not Tipped Off, Shouts "No Fusion for Brooklyn." Now comes the Interesting development. It seems that Chairman Woodruff has Informed the leaders In the fusion move ment that fusion on the Brooklyn borough ticket will be acceptable to him. While Woodruff appears to have made a stall -rieut to this effect to some of the big Manhattan Republican leaders, he neglected to tip off Consequent! the latter is to-day shouting "No fusion for Brooklyn," while the men at the head of the fusion conference are quietly preparing a ticket for this borough that will represent the Independence League and the other elements that have joined In the movement to destroy Tammany.

Chairman Woodruff Is at his camp in the Adlrondacks. He will not return tintil Monday. He was not present at yesterday's initial pow-wow -of the anti-Tammany folka. When Woodruff returns he is expected to tell Brenner and the others here that there must be fusion on the Kings County ticket as well as on the city ticket. If he faiU to do this It will be a keen disappointment to the leaders in the fusion movement.

Woodruff will have his work rut out fnr him in inducing the local Republicans to Invite the Hearstites. labor peo- pie and other elements to make up a Joint ticket. At. the local Republican headquarters to-day there were bitter remarks about the unreasonable demands of the Independence Leaguers. "Hearst doesn't want anything at all" sarcastically remarked one Brooklyn Republican leader.

"He just wants the earth with a little municipal ownership fence around it. Hearst wants to name the controller. All he wants is the best place." The tone of this speaker left no doubt that he regarded the Hearst claims as preposterous, "and the idea of Fusion in Brooklyn as wholly absurd. Other Re publicans talked in the same way. In spite of this the leaders in the Fusion movement are firmly confident that Woodruff will stand with them In de manding amalgamation with Hearst's fol lowers In this borough.

They say the whole antt-Tammany plan will fall if Brooklyn Repjubllcans insist on naming a stralgnt out local ticket. Other Troubles for Fusion Leaders. There are other difficulties In the way of the men who hope to eliminate Boss Murphy. The labor leaders want the privilege of naming a candidate on the city ticket. They seem Insistent on this point, too.

The members of the committee on candidates will hold no formal meeting until Tuesday. In the meantime they will confer Informally. There Is no Gaynor enthusiast on this committee. The Brooklyn representatives are Woodruff and William J. Taylor, the latter representing the Independence League.

The Important committees named at yesterday's conference are: On candidates B. H. Outerbridge, Committee of One Hundred, chairman; Herbert Parsons Charles E. Gehrins (Ind. League, Timothy L.

Woodruff William J. Schieffelin (Citizens i'nion), William J. Taylor (Ind. League), Ernest Harvicr (Dem. Union).

On Declaration of Principles Leslie C. Ferguson (Independence League), chairman; Raymond V. Jngersoll (Committee of One Hundred), Jacob Brenner (Republican), Julius Henry Cohen (Citizens' Union). Samuel S. Koenig (Republican), Herbert B.

Brush (Taxpayers' Conference Committee). and 'William F. Schneider (Cleveland Democrat). Leaders in the Fusion movement admitted to-day that they were all In the air, ao far as agreeing on a candidate tor mayor was concerned. There seems to have been no change in the uncertain state of this matter since yesterday.

Jacob Brenner has informed the committee on candidates that Judge Aspinall would be as strong a man as could be picked from Brooklyn. Brenner added that he made this suggestion without having consulted Judge Aspinall as to whether the latter would be willing to have his name used. WEEDS KILL CHILD.

Then she yanked twice more and the motorman applied more speed, thinking the signals wre from the conductor. Next I came a series of jerks and the motorman became bewildered. The crowd on the front plaiform and through the cross seats of the open ear blocked his view. To be sure of his ground, however, the moiorman stopped the car and determined to learn the cause for the constant ringing of the. signal bell.

The instant he stopped t.ie car. there was a crash. I i no moiorman Aosiranu avenue going directly on, did not apply the brakes. When he discovered his mis-lake, however, it was too late and he was compelled to crash into the. Lorimer sireet car.

Infltantly the poles of both cars came off and the lights went out. Total darkness reigned. The accident occurred diagonally opposite the Washington Cemetery and the only light within the vicinity was an electlic light 300 feet away. Panic When Two Cars Came Together There was a panic in the ear. Pas- sengers who were asleep became sud- denly awake and fearing a worst calamity than the usual mishap screamed in fear.

The air was rent with shrieks and prayers. The conductor and motorman of Ihe Lorimer sireet car were thrown to the. sireet and the passengers were hurled against each other and over the seats. The Nostrand avenue cars is a new ono, large and extremely heavy. The impact therefore was severe, and the Lorimer street ear being older and small was jolted with considerable force.

The railroad officials seemed at a loss what to do under the difficulty, but Policeman James M. McKelvey of the Parkville station, who was on the Nostrand avenue car at once took hold of the situation. Policeman Ran Quarter of a Mile to Summon Ambulances. He immediately learned that no one was fatally Injured and with remarkable swiftness ran to a telephone on East Fourth street, more than a quarter of a milfi away. He telephoned for the rln lioill 'lie rarRVllie aianon.

M. TRIAL TRIP YESTERDAY. With Borough President Gresser at the Controller, First Car Had Successful Test. Bridge Commissioner Stevenson said this morning that he will do his inmost to bring the operation of Ihe municipal trolley service over the Queenshoro Bridge to-night.

The department, In order to get the ten ears that have been leased from the South Shore Traction Company to Ihe bridge, must run them over the Third tracks to the Manhattan end of ti; bridge. At that point a temporary spur will be placed In position, so that, the cars can be run to the tracks on the bridge. It is expected that all Ihe cars will be in position by 1 A.M., when the servlcs will be started. If this Is found im- posihle, the first car will start at to-morrow morning, and the ser vice will be regular after that hour. Trial Trip of First Car Highly Successful.

The first car crossed the Queensboro Bridge yesterday afternoon. This memorable event probably would have been delayed for some months longer if it had not been for Bridge Commissioner Stevenson. Tbe first car served for two purposes a trial and an official trip and it proved that everything on the big bridge was in readiness for the operation of a trolley service. While the municipal trolley service which Commissioner Stevenson hopes to start to-night will be inaugurated with cars rented from the South Shore Traction Company, the trial and official trip yesterday afternoon was made with a car loaned by the New York and Queens County Railway Company, the corporation to which the Board of Kstimate arranged yesterday to grant a franchise for the bridge. Start Made at 4 o'Clock.

Connections between the bridge tracks and the tracks of the New York and Queens County Railway were made temporarily, and shortly before 4 o'clock car was ready to make the trip over the bridge. Commissioner Stevenson was present and so was his official staff, Chief Engineer Klngsley L. Martin. Consulting Engineer Colin P. Ingersoll and some of the, assistant engineers.

President Gros ser represented Queens Borough. Presi-j dent V. O. Woods. Arthur, Peacock and General Superintendent Charles Banghart represented the railroad company.

About two hundred people were gath ered on the plaza at the Queens terminus of the bridge to watch Ihe Interesting event. All tried to crowd on tne. ccr when President Wood announced that everything was in readiness to make the trip. The police Anally had to be called to nut. them off and then Ihe guests In Commissioner Stevenson's party and the friends of President Gresser were permitted to get aboard.

President Gresser at the Controller. Superintendent Banghart manned the controller. It was the original Intention to permit Commissioner Stevenson to start the ear off on its journey, but the commissioner courteously surrendered this honor to President Gresser as the head of Queens Borough. Mr. Gresser turned the controller handle and the car slowly started to move up the plaza the bridge entrance.

In Its wake followed hundreds of people, the crowd having been augmented by this time, filling the air with cheers. The tracks were a little bit slifT. the same as all tracks are over which no cars have ever been run. The car was one those entirely constructed of steel. It was also of the largest type built at the pres ent time.

But this proved to be a mistake. There was a clearance of almost a fo' between the steel column and the side of the car. Car Ended Journey in Subway Terminal in Manhattan.
