Donato Feanane, 66 years old, of 62 Bayard street, Manhattan; Giaconii Salyatore, 35 years old, of the eame address, and Fran cesco Albense, 39 years old, of 65 Bayard street, were arrested early this morning by Policeman Raymond, of the Elizabeth street station, as eusplcious persons. They will be held pending an investigation into the death of Maria Feanane, wife of Donato. The woman was found in the house at 62 Bayard street about 2 o'clock, all prepared for burial, although at 11 o'clock last night she was one of a party engaged In celebrat ing the Feast of St. Rocco. The celebration was at tho house of Albense.

Shortly after it ended at 11 clock the woman and the three men under arrest started for the home of the Feanaues. According to the stories told by the men she complained of feeling sick, after she got home, and Salva- tore, who is her half brother, offered her some milk. It is said that she demurred at drinking it, but was urged to do so, and finally yielded. Half an hour later she was dead. The night manager of a drug store near by says that about midnight Albense brought a sample of the milk to the drug store and wanted it analyzed, but the night manager refused.

He notified Policeman Raymond, who went to hi bayard street. The policeman found the three men there and the body of the woman, which, accord ing to the police, had been dressed for bur ial. Raymond took the three men into cus tody and obtained a cample of the milk, which will be analyzed. It Is known that the woman had $400 saved up, which she usually kept in the house. None of this money could be found after the arrests were made.

Salvatore had a wad of hills stuck into one of his pockets when searched at the station house, the bills appearing as if hastily thrust into the pocket. They amount to $07. Before being searched Salvatore was asked how much money he had, and replied that he did not know. The coroner will cause an autopsy to be performed upon the woman's body.

He seemed to sleep easily for the first time In several nights and his wife thought the pain was becoming alleviated and slept her self.

August 16 "Citizens are Dearly flayed alive If they don't appear as witnesses when wanted here in court," laid Justice Forker, of the Court of Special Sessions, yesterday in Jamaica, "but non-appearance of police officers is of so frequent occurrence as to make it impossible to remember all the cases in which they are derelict. I do not see why officers should not be made to do their duty as they are paid to do." Then, turning to Walter Ba-han, counsel for Michael Gilday, accused of keeping a disorderly house, he said: "We will pass this case temporarily; perhaps his lordship, the complaining witness, will deign to come in later." Michael Gilday, of 29 Borden avenue, Long Island City, is accused by Officer Joseph M. Evans of keeping a disorderly house at the address named.

Evans and Cornelius B. Corcoran, anotehr officer, swore in the complaint to alleged facts, which, if proved, might cause trouble for Gilday. The first hearing in the Court of Special Sessions was held July 18. It was adjourned. Including an adjournment allowed yesterday when it was explained that Officer Corcoran is on his vacation, there have been live adjournments because the witnesses for the people did not appear.

Officer Evans arrived in court just before the completion of the day's business and explained that he had been at work elsewhere. A case of Interest that was tried by the louu or special sessions was that of Fred erick Hassell, a sheet iron worker, who was accused by Mr. and Mrs. William Cloher-check, hotel keepers of Vernon and Borden avenues, Long Island City, with having smasnea a glass floor on June 17.

Clo oercnecK, unuer cross-examlnat on. said he did not know the day of the week on which me uuur was smasnea, but ne was certa it was not Saturday. Later Judge Forker looked up Juno 17 and found it fell upon a Saturday. Notwithstanding the conflict of testimony, Hassell was found guilty and fined $2o.

34th N. Y. TWO LITTLE BOYS DROWNED, Were Chum3 and Lived in the Same House on Wythe Avenue Supposed to Have Been Caught by "Wire. While bathing In the East River at the foot of North Eleventh street late yesterday afternoon, Joseph Casiowich, 8 years old, and Peter Delaney, the same age, who were chums and lived with their parents at 116 Wythe avenue, were drowned. The boys were alone at the time, and the police of the Bedford avenue station have been unable to locate any one who witnessed the accident.

Whether one of the boys tried to save the. other and was dragged down by his drowning companion is not known, but the presumption is that one of the boys became entangled in wire on the bed of the river, anl that the other in trying to save his friend also became ensnared. Several boys, after hearing of the accident, dived to the bottom of the river, and claim to have come in contact with the body of one of the boys held last by some wire. PRESIDENT'S COUSIN OBJECTS.

B. Eoosevelt, of Sayville, Says Islip Assessors' Figures on His Realty Are Too High. (Special to the Eagle.) lellp, L. August 16-At the annual "grievance day" meeting of the Isllp as sessors, held yesterday, the venerable Robert B. Roosevelt, of Sayville, ex-minister to The Hague, and uncle of the President, was among those who called to see how they had been dealt with by the assessors.

Mr. Roosevelt foarod his personal tax had been raised, but finding it had not, remaining at $10,000, expressed his satisfaction. He was accompanied by his son, Robert B. Eoosevelt, who is nsM-ssed $3,500 on two cottages in Sayville, and S5.U00 personal. He objected to the former assessment, claiming it 1b too high, but the: assessors were obdurate, and the assessment stands.

The younger Roosevelt told the assessors that if they increased his personal ase-essment ho would become a resident of New York City for purposes of taxation. None of the other large taxpayers of Islip Town appeared in person before the assessors, but a number sent their lawyers or employes. Among those who pursued the latter course were Arthur A. Houseman, Edwin Hawley, Frederick G. Hnurno, W.

Bayard Cutting and George C. Taylor. The assessors made a few corrections in their figure, in cases where It was obvious that errors had been made, but there were no large reductions, and the property holders' representatives were given to understand that none would be made. It was even Intimated that in 11106 the assessments would be higher than now. KIFLEMZN ELECT OFFICEES.

I A i LEHQII ST. HOPES The Water Main Contractor May Tear Up Any New Pavement That Is Laid. MAYBE HE'LL BE MERCIFUL Commissioner Farrell Thinks He Will and Prophesies Job "Will Be Done Within Six Weeks. Joralcmon street has apparently not yet reached the end of its troubles. For a couple years the street has been practically handed over to the rapid transit contractor, who is building the subway from the East River to Borough Hall.

In that period cel lars have slipped from their moorings, stoops have been dislocated and side walls bulged along the thoroughfare. Some of tho best known citizens of Brooklyn have been compelled to vacate, among them Borough President Littleton, whose modest home at the corner of Hicks and Joralcmon streets, sagged in a night about a year ago, threat ening the destruction of its contents. It fortunately happened at the time that Mr. Littleton's family were In the country. The rapid transit contractor, however, has, under pressure of President Alexander E.

Orr of the commission, agreed to restore the surface of tho streets and the injured buildings to the condition they were in be fore his invasion of the territory. The boon is somewhat belated, but rfhe residents are making tho best of the situation, and congratulating themselves that a fine street, one of the oldest in Brooklyn, and on which are some of the borough's finest residences, Is to be returned to the usages of civilization within a year or so. This nleaslne nrospect. however, is dimmea by the shadow of Colonel Michael J. Dady.

Tho colonel, as it happens, obtained a con tract a couplo of years ago to lay water mains throughout the borough. Some of the mains lay so long on the surface of the streets last fall and early winter that President Littleton carted them off to the cor poration yard as a nuisance and a menace to vehicles and pedestrians. Included In the colonel's contract Is Joralc mon street. Up to this time he has not mado ny move toward work on that thorough fare, and the residents, appreciating the dila-toriness of contractors, fear that ho will not be ready to begin them until the new pavement shall have been laid and the street restored to Its normal condition. Such an outcome, they say, would mean an aggravation of the present horrors.

For if the rapid transit contractor goes right ahead with his work of renovation, and the borough officials lay the new pavement, Colonel Dady will come along when all is fin ished and rip up the street for the new water mains again. The colonel and Public Works Commis sioner John C. Brackenridgo had a consultation yesterday. The commissioner said that the feelings of the residents of Joralemon street would be consulted in the matter, and that there would be no tearing up of the new pavement. It is only fair to point out, however, that neither Mr.

Brackenridge nor any other borough official has any control or Jurisdiction In the matter whatever. The contract entered Into by Colonel Dady was with the Water Department of the City of New York. The Mpresentative of that department here 1 Deputy Commissioner Thomas R. Farrell. Mr.

Farrell said that Colonel Dady had difficulty in obtaining the pipe called for in his district. "I think, however," the deputy commissioner said, "that we can safely promise that Mr. Dady will have the water mains laid in Joralemon street within live or six weeks." MAKES CHILDREN HAPPY. Mrs. H.

Politics Believed to Be at Bottom of At' tempt at Murder That Will Probably Prove Successful. Thomas Lagrane, of 415 West Fifty-sixth 3lroet, Manhattan, was arrested shortly after 0 o'clock this morning and locked up in the West Forty-seventh street station.

The arrest was In connection with the mys terious shooting of a man known in the neighborhood of Fifty-sixth street and Ninth avenue as Duffy, about 1 o'clock this morning. Duffy, who was found unconscious in the doorway of a store at 805 Ninth ave nue with a bullet in his brain, is in Roosevelt Hospital, aud the doctors Bay ho can not live, Lagrane's arrest resulted from the ad ministration of the "third degree" to Joseph iMeKlcrnan, a 15-year-old boy, whose brother, a livery stable keeper, also lives at 415 West Fifty-sixth street. For several hours Detectives Fitzpatrlck and CJuinn, of tne west forty-seventh street Btatlon. had no clew whatever to work on. Joseph Redding, of 749 Ninth avenue, said he was on his way home when he heard a shot and saw a man stagger into the doorway where Duffy was found, but he declared that he saw no one leave the spot.

A molorman on tho Niuth avenue line named Mclnerney said he. Heard tho shot and saw the man fall, but saw no one running away. Edward Hlckey of 442 West Fifty-sixth street, and William iNewson, of Mil Tenth avenue, told the nn lice the same thing. There waH nothing In ine wounaeu man doming by which he could be identified, aud he was unable ti talk. It was finally learned thnt young Mc Kiernan had been In tho vicinity of thi shooting, and the detectives went after hitn He refused to talk at first, but when threat ened with a cell in the House of Detention as a witness, ho weakened, and, It is said gave the inlormatlon which resulted In the arrest of Lagrane.

The detectives are on the hunt for several others suspected of know InB something about the shooting, which I believed to have been an outcome of the bit trr political light now going on between th MeMantis, Pliuikllt and Dorden faction over the leadership of the Fifteenth As. semb.y District.

SON SAYS HE IS MISTAKEN. My Father Is an Old Man," He Declares ''Pay No Attention to That Advertisement." Dr. Alexander Cochran, of 1S2 Park place, caused the following advertisement to be published in the Eagle last night: PARK n.ACK. BOROIV.H OK BROOKLYN. Aupusl 14.

lf'Cn lie it known that Dr. Alexander t'oehran is the surviving residuary leKiilee of the three estates of my two brothers, I'r. John and Dr. Oconto Cochran, ar.d my uncle, Lir. ticorse Olltillan.

lie it known that Dr. Alexander Cochran Is the administrator to his dead wife's estate. Christian Isabella Wilson Cochran, and Kuardlan of her seven children, by the of Kinpa County, vender. The wills of ail of the at'ove names are registered in Klnps County Surrogate Court, also the letters of administration and KUardian of the esune of Christiana lsabelle Wilson Cochran. The three phvsieians referred to in the advertisement, Dr.

John Cochran, Dr. George Cochran and Dr. George Gilflllan, were among the best known medical men in Brooklyn in their time. One ot the Coca-raus was at one time health officer of the Port of New York. Dr.

Alexander Cochran, brother of Dr. John Cochran and Dr. George Cochran, who caused tho above advertisement to be published In the Eagle last night, while not so well known as his brothers and uncle were, practiced medicine extensively at one time Brooklyn. For several years past, however, he has lived in retirement. An Eagle reporter called at 1S2 Park place this morning, where Dr.

Cochran lives with his two tons, Joseph A. Cochran, who clerk of the United States District Court Brooklyn, and Robert Cochran, and- a daughter, for t'ae purpose of ascertaining hat Dr. Cochran's object was in announcing at this time that he is the surviving residuary legatee of his two brothers and his uncle. The reporter was met at the door by Dr. Cochran himself, who is a venerable man with a white beard.

The first thing Dr. Cochran did was to lead the reporter outside to be out of hearing of the other members of the family. He said that his purpose in publishing the advertisement printed above was to see if he could secure any information about what had become of the property that had been left to him. He said he once had considerable property in Ireland and in this country, which had been bequeathed to him and he doea not know what has become of it. Dr.

Cochran was asked if he had sought legal advice in quest of his missing property and he replied that he had not. "Lawyers," he said, "cost money, and I haven't any money to pay for legal advice." While Dr. Cochrcn was talking to the reporter, his son Robert came outside and said to the reporter; "Don't pay any attention to that advertisement. My father is an old man." Dr. Cochran Is 74 years old.

The latter, however, paid no attention to his son's admonition, but went on talking. When the son was seen later he said his father was altogether mistaken about the property, which he says he formerly had, but which he declares has mysteriously gotten away from him. Young Cochran said that his father formerly had soma property, but that it had all been regularly disposed of, and now he doesn't own any. He Is now being supported by his ssns, young Cochran said, of whom there are six. The records of tho Surrogate's office show that Dr.

John Cochran left a will dated March 30, 1955. in which he left all his real estate to his parents, which, however, in the event ot their death was to go to his broth ers, ueorse and Alexander Cochran. Dr. George Gilfillan and Dr. Henry J.

Cullen were the executors of his estate. The will of Dr. George Cochran, dated No vember 18. lS.Ji, shows that he left all his real estate to be equally divided between his three sisters and his brother Alexander coenran. 1 nomas Kinsella and Alexander McCue were the executors of Dr.

George t-uciiran estate. The will of Dr. Georee Cochran datori alter Severn hrnneua of mi estnte, left a house at 212 Clinton street to John A. Cochran, son of Alexander Cochran, subject to the occupany during his life of Alexander coctiran. The will also left $1,000 to Alexander Cochran's son.

The will contains a clause discharging Alexander Cochran from all debts and claims which he, the testator, had against him. The balance of Dr. George Cochran's estate after the several bequests described in the will had been made, were to go to Alexander Ccchran and to the testator's Mrs. Mary Cochran Broome, wife of Colonel John Broome, who was remembered handsomely In the will A codicil to Dr. George Cochran's will, dated May 20.

R7K. modifies the clause which he says he discharges Alexander Conhran from anv claims he may have against the latter hy adding the words, "upon condition that he (Alexander Cochran) makes no claim against my estate for any debt, claim or demand, which he has. or may have, at the time of my decease, against me."

THE BROOKLYN STATION BIDS Opened This Afternoon Progress Toward Efficient Salt Water Plant for File Fighting. Several of tho contracts for the work of improving tho Brooklyn water supply system, bids on which were opened on August 6, have been awarded. Th firm of Ryan McFer-ran will erect the new Gravesend pumping station, theirs being the lowest bid. They will receive $22,733 for doing the work. Eleven bidders competed for the contract.

The Installation of the new pumping Btatioa will assure the residents in that section of the city a larger and better water supply for street flushing. The work ot Installing tho station will be completed before the year Is out. The contract for overhauling and repairing the engines of the Millburn pumping station near Baldwin, L. was awarded to M. 1.

Davidson for Edwin H. Ludermano was the only other bidder. He asked $10,224 to do the work. Deputy Water Commissioner Goodwin said o-dav that the installation of the equipment for the high pressure fire service in Coney Island is completed. The contractor on the building has asked for an extension of thirty-five days beyond the time limit fixed In his contract to finish with his part of the work, but the department is disinclined to grant the extension asked for.

It is probable that the contractor will be obliged to get the work done by September 1 and the station will be ready for operation shortly after that date. When the installation of the service was nearlng completion some months ago a delegation of Coney Island business men called on the Water Commissioner and told him of some plans that were under way for duly celebrating the installation of the service. These plans are likely to be revived. Bids for the construction of the engine houses for the high pressure fire service in Brooklyn were opened at the office of the water commissioner this afternoon. One station will be built at the corner of Furmaa and Joralemon Btreets and the other at Wil- loughby and St.

Edwards street. It will require seven months to complete the buildings. The contracts for the pumps and other equipment for these stations the bids for which were opened on July 18 have ntf. yet been awarded. The engineers are doubtful about the award and the bids have been sent to the Brooklyn office for examination and report.

This delay of one month in mak ing the award will delay the final completion of the stations for the same length of time. ine bids lor erecting the temporary pumping plant that Is to be built at Ridge- wood pending the completion of the new pumping Btatlon were also opened this af ternoon, mere were a number of bidders on both The award has not yet ucen uiaue. YACHTS REMAIN" AT NEWPORT. Newport, R. August 16 A northwest gale greeted the New York Yacht Club men when they awoke this morning to prepare for the fourth squadron run of the present cruise.

The journey led from Newport to Vineyard Haven. A heavy sea was running and toward 9 o'clock the wind assumed such a velocity that the run was called off for the day. BOX OF BLOCKS FOR TILLS0N. Commissioner Brackenridge's Present for the Chief Engineer of the Highway Department. Two sturdy men lugged a big box into the office of Chief Engineer George Tillson In the municipal building at noon to-day, and mopped their brows.

The day was cool, but the men were hot. "Must be bricks in there," said one. "Oh, no, these engineering books are heavy," answered the ofder. Soon Mr. Tillson had the lid of the package removed, to find Boine line linen paper stretched across, completely concealing the contents.

The other engineers aud employes gathered around. "Can't be game," said one of them, "Don't smell high." It was only a moment's work to rip out paper, and everybody in the office was around the box when the contents were disclosed. Everybody was disappointed, too, for the box contained only a choice collection of paving blocks, and specimens of asphalt from remote Venezuela. The chief engineer remembered having Been the collection before, and soon recalled the fact rtiat they had adorned the desk of Public Works Commissioner Brackenridge in the Borough Hall, the accumulations of eighteen months of official life. Mr.

Brack enridge grew tired of the samples this morning, and sent them across the street to the engineer. PBOPOSALS. PROPOSALS FOIt RIDS AND ESTIMATES ft'UK M'MIU Clllt OF JEW YOHli. NOTICK TO CONTIlACTOnS. i GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS.
