Bennett. benator Hill was seen this morning by the Cn ize.n correspondent and asked wbnt course ho intended to adopt. 1 am now investigating tk record of thrao two gentlemen, said the Benator, with a smile, and when the investigation is completed 1 will thou reach a definite coqclusion ss to my conrwe.

Has tbe investigation so fur developed anything of anv importance, Heuator Ofcourse I cannot make public what bas been brought to light by private correspondence at the present time, but it is safe to iiiiume that there has been very little received favorable to either Mr. Healov or Mr. Bennett It is generally believed here that Senator Hill will not ouly oppose tbe confirmation of both of these gentlemen, but the omnion is ulso expressed th.tt he will be successful id his opposition to them. The Defence Claims that the Wound Was Not Fatal In tha Court of tiesmons to-day the trial of Timothy McDermott lor tbs murder of Goorgo Clancy was continued. The theory is that the wounds were inflicted on CUnu'y by McDermott to avenge the death of bis brother Dimou.

A RAILROAD BARGE SINKS IN THE EAST RIVER. Three Cura Are Freed and Float Away The Other Ten Are Finally Towed to a Dock -They Batter Each thci All Night. Just off the rbuokle Stores at the foot of Bridge street, grinding and battenngeach othor by the forco ff the waves all night, were three freight cars of the West Shore Submerged beneath tbe cars was the remains of b.uge upou which they wo being conveyed IrtBt nuht Irom Jersey City to Williamsburg. At 9.30 o'clock, as tbe tugboat Henry W. Palmer wus passing tbe foot of Bndgo street, a rolling, crashing souud, succeeded by a senes of pionstroue splashes, wort) beard.

Thu barge in tow, from some cause not yet known, bad gono to pieces- Tbo cars were precipitated into tbe river, and in a moment a complete wreck was The derelict cars, freed from tbe barge, went toss ing about by themselves while tbo tugboat wont ou tor a short dishmco. towing a portion of the boat, before it coaid tuvu arouuu. The cars were ait fastened together, so they did not separate, though butoro the tugboat could return a chain snapped and three of them were freed. By this time the crew of a wreckei lying by tbe shore were apprised of the accident. The Henry Palmer fytd returnod to the larger body of cars and liAd secured them by ropun, and bad with difficulty towed them to the nearest pier.

The crew in the wrecker put out in a towboat after the throe runaway cars. They were captured, fastened together aud thou towed in alongside the others. Not tung more could be done until inorniug, so after being securely churned the cars were abandoned. This morning -rbn iba -crew uf iba wrecker arose, they found that the night's exposure had wrought lU effects upou tbe cars. They bad, by grinding against each other been battered and almost irreparably wrecked.

In many cases the roofs had been kuocUed off', exposing the freight, which consisted principally of lumber. By 9:30 oclock this morning the wreckers were ready to begin operalious. Diver C. 1. Everett was lowered over the side of the boat and disconnected the cars.

Having separated them it was an easy matter to raise thorn. By incans of a derrick they were hauled to the wrecker's dock. The freight, owiug to its nature, has not sustained damage, but of the tbii te.n cars, live are completely destroyed. Tbe sunken barge belonged to Louis P. Palmer, of North Sixth street.

WHY NOtUdVERTISE Because Supervisors Prefer Privacy. Considerable comment has been caused by the peculiar action of Supervisor-ut-Largo Fitchie in suggesting from tne chair that it would be better for the Board of riupervisors to solicit bids for supplies rather than advertise for proposals. The resolution under consideration at the time called for supplies for die jail, expense uulimited. The Bupcrvisor-at Large is not a member of tbo Board and hns no right to introduce reo-lotions or discuss them at the meeting. His suggestion is all the more peculiar as it is in direct opposition to his position on the subject assumed when ho was a member of the Board and that body was Democratic.

Bupervisor McKeown reminded Me. Fitchie of bis former utterances. Mr. McKeown insisted that the principle involved was a serious one.Riidthat Itwnsuecoss.iry to have publicity in thecouduotof county affairs. Unfortunately for Mr.

Fitchies suggestion, tne rules of the Board require that proposals for contracts shall be advertised uuless the expenditure is limited to 230. TRIED TO EARWIG THE JUDGE. Mr. Justice Gaynor Remembered and hullengeil tbo Witness with It. In the suit of James Finley against John J.

Fuatu L. Bit kus, tiiuiierlsnd'li attorney, did uot, is is commonly supposed, make any pledgtv to prodii tho lu court What bo did ss to Jen A.

Wcrnbarg was that be bad no uka that bin chant had hdv intention of leaving an-J that he expe ted to seo him the next 1 that it bo should not turn up then (be District Attorney thoirid be infurmed. As a matter of fait, there is no more necessity, for tbe preseiiis of a defendant in a mitde when judgment is pronouneeri, than when the verdict is rendered, though, ot course, in cuo the penalty is imprisonment, eg it is in the pri sent one. if he were not immed lately accessible afterward, a bench warrant would bo applied for and tbe bond declared forfeited. The bondsmen in this esse against Sutherland are Robert Furey, tbe contractor, and James Birketi, tbe steam heating manufacturer, who are liable in $2,500 for bis appearance answer any judgment that may be pro nounced against him. Tbe penalty may imprisonment uo: oxceedtng one year, and possible fine of not more than $500.

Mr, Fnrev wnt not at worried over Mr. Sutherland's whereabouts when seen this morning or fearful tbnt he would not be on band to receive bit sentence to-morrow or as soon thereafter as necessary. If tbe verdict had been one of acquittal and no other case bad been pressed against Sutherland, be would have been married to an estimable youug lady living in New York city. As it is the wedding has been postponed. Wheu the jury went out yesterday afternoon Mr.

butnerland is said to Lave declared to hia friends that be was convinced tbe verdict would be one of guilty, the evidence wus too over' whelming. His chief anxiety seemed to be tD.it tho bad news should sot reach hi fiancee through the flaring headlines of an extra." and after arranging with his brother to telegraph to him tbe reault, we at over -to bvi ft last interview with the lady before be should be under restraint. He had told hie counsel where be would be for aif hour after leaving tbe conrtroom, vnnd sent word to him when be left for New York just before the expiration of that tune. But tbe jury came in while tbe defendant was on bis way to New, York and before the message had reached Mr. Backus.

The result was the slight hintui in the courtroom, and that Sutherland found a diipatc waiting for him when he arrived at his destina-t tion in New York city informing him that bis fears bad been justified by tha fact It was on tbe midnight tram that Sutherland returned to Couey Island, but he wae around aa usual this morning and cam into the city and called on Mr. Backus this afternoon. The counsel for the titate, Messrs Shepard, Limb and Wernberg, were all free from any anxiety as to tiutberland't whereabouts, and none was willing to euppose he had fled. Air. Backus was informed while the jury was out yesterday afternoon that onto! tbe jurote had, previous to being called to serve, expressed himself In a saloon very strongly agxmst tbe defendant and other Gravesend officials.

Mr. Backus is taking steps to vertfv this, a all of the jurors sv re they had never expressed any opinions. Tftis matter will not enter iuto tbe appeal wnich will be marie tomorrow, which, indeed, bad not ben formulated at noon to-dv. Tbe case of Constable Andrew Scott Jamison, charged with perjuty in swearing to tbe chargee againt the Gaynor watchers on Election day, will be called before Judge Brewn ou Monday. CHOLERA BOAT.

Suit for Damages Against Health Officer Jenkins. Health Officer William T. Jenkins was the defendant in an action on trial to-day in tho Circuit Court, Fart 1L, before Judge Stover and a jury. Tbe plaintiff was Augustus Mackenzie, owner of the steamboat Crystal Water, built and used to supply vessels with water. The plaintiff says that on Aug 9, 1892, he chartered his boat to the defendant for one month, at tbe rate of $15 a day, the plaintiff- to furnish a captain and aa engineer on alternate days, tbe defendant to furnish those officers on the other days and also a ersw for the whole month.

Ihe plaintiff alleges that the boat was to be used on boarding vessels at Upper Quarantine, and for putting tbe health officer aboard and for no other pnrpose, the plaintiff to bava tbe right when the host was not otherwise used to deliver water to vessels. Tbe defendant paid tbe plaintiff the charter money for the mo'ntn. The plaintiff alleges that after tbe monttfhal expired, without re-charter, permission or lawful authority, tbe defendant retained ami refused to deliver np the boat, hot eouverted it to bis own nse and used it for purposes other than those for which the charter bad been made, namely, to carry cholera patients and tbe dead, bodies ot persons wbo had died from ebolera from vesstls to Bwinbnrne Island and elsewhere, the boat being used until Nov. 18. 1892.

Ths plaintiff claims that the boat hnd thus been permanently injured and destroyed as a waterboat to his damage, t6.500. One defenit is a general denial. A further defense ie that every transaction between the plaintiff aud defendant wae with the defendant as a state officer and not individually. Did Not Got the Place.

The regulars ere well ware that the onlv thing that they have con-end with in making a success of the re-enroll-ueut, is the feeling of distrust which pervades be oommunity, that the regulars are uot sin-ere in their efforts to throw off the shackle of lossism. The Uhopnrd faction nU are craftily noouraging the feeling, but each successive' lep taken in bringing about a reorganization the party on a truly Democratic baeis, is the means of lessening the nnjust euapieiou. The egniara propose by their actions and not by words to convince all Democratic voters that in the new reorganization which will shortly rise on the ruins of the old regime, all will have an equal show. One of the main causes of discontent against the old regime, a discontent especially noticeable in the ranks of the younger Democracy, was the appearance year after year at ail party conventions of the same men ns delegatee. The majority of theso men bad themselves chosen tor no other purpose thau to have a good time.

They were not representative of the intelligence and capaoity for dealing with the larger questions of ktate and National politics, of iho great Democratic organization of this oounty. They represented nobody except the ward leader. In this and many othor respects the party machiuery had gotten beyond the control of Mr. McLaughlin, and a combination of ward lenders wee often able to impose its will on the party against the judgment of Mr. McLaughlin.

All of these things will be changed when the reorganization tko place and new men come to the front, as they certainly must in the natural order of things. While the regulars and the independents have joined hands to wipe out the Committee of One Hundred ts engaged in an endeavor to develop a new Bose. Boholssticnlly llr, Shepard ie no doubt the superior of Mr. Mo-Laughlin, but in every other respoot ho is his inferior. In the first place Mr.

McLaughlin is. beyond everything else, a Democrat Mr. Shepard ie essentially a factionist. Again, Mr. McLaughlin is absolutely unselfish.

Mr. Shepard is absolutely selfish. Mr. McLaughlin is the most modest man in Brooklyn. With one exception, Mr.

Shepard is the biggest egotist in Brooklyn. Mr. McLaughlin is nearer to the plain people, who compose four-fifths of the Democratic voters. Mr. Shepard is nesrer to the nristooratio etement of the party, whioh is tn au overwhelming minority.

Mr. McLaughlin is destitute of any ambition to hold pnblio office. Mr. Shepard is oonsumed with a burning desire to become Governor and then President or the Luited States. Mr.

McLaughlin has no other interest in politics than to work tor the good of the Democratic party. Mr. Shepards only aim in politics is to advance his own selfish interests. If a boss is absolutely necessary to the party, most Democrats will prefer plain Hugh McLaughlin williont frills, to the brilliant, but Insincere and aristocratic Shepard. Wallace MacFarlalic.

A delegation of 150 Troy men culled upon Governor Flower this morning and uskol him to appoint Deputy Attorneys General to prosecute election cases in Troy, just as be did iu the Kings County cases. In tho delegation were many prominent Democrats of Troy, including Dr. E. Ferguson. Irofossor David M.

Green and ex-Major George B. Warren. They told tho Governor that Troy was governed by political thugs and that the local authorities could not bo idled upon to prosecute the offenders. Governor Flower refused their request. Tho Governor said that the Kings County precedent was one that should not bo followed IU thought the citizens of Troy were themselves largely to blame for the iolonce at their elections.

The business men of tho cities should take more interest elections, and should mun the polls and defend the b.Jlot. One of the delegation, Wiilmm H. Freer, said: That was what iMr. Boss tried to do, Governor, and he was killed' ies, and I honor his memorj, replied tho Governor. The Governor paid a compliment to the prosecuting officers of Rensselaer Couny.

It would be time enough when they showed any disposition to shirk to supersede them with Htate prosecuting officers. Tho dologation left far from satUliud with the Governor's refusal. Some of them wanted to catechise him, aud one. ex-Mnror Warren, intimated that the Governors' friend, Senator Murph, was for ail the trouble and bloodshed. This refusal on Governor Flowers part to duplicate for Trov Ins in the Kings County coses indicates that ho is nob entirely convinced of the wisdom of his course in according so readily to the clamor of the Kings County enemies of McKane, and placing thorn iu full possession of the Grand Jury.

The partisan actions of the Kings County Grand Jury, under the manipulations of Boss Mugwump tthepurd, has opened the Governor's eves apparently to the danger of intrusting the jury room to irrespou-ible outsiders. Prompted, iu all probability, by tbe green flag incidents in Brookiym Assemblyman Law son, a Republican member from Now York, has introduced a bill making it unlnufui to hoist any but the national, Mtatoand municipal colors over any public building in tho bt.ue. There is enough of tho illiberal know-nothing in this Legislature to insure the bill a formidable lol-lowmg, but it is douhtlul if it will be sharp enough to pass it All Republicans heie are not of tbe Scbieren sort, us Senator OConnors reply to Corporation Counsel McDonald last Thursday proved. Jliam If. Friday, the presouv meumbunt of Assemblyman James Grahams seat, is to be banqueted At the Union League (Tub in Brooklyn on tbe 24th lost Speaker Malby has accepted un invitation to be present and mako an address.

Robert A. Sharkey bas been tbe prime mover iu this testimonial to Friday. Mr Sharkey spread himself in a circular letter inviting co-operation. Hore is a sample of his eloquence: Tho signal triumph of justice in the condign punishment of ihe perpetrators of fraud ligaiust the franchise and the ballot box in tbe Sixteenth Assembly District and othor places, deserves notice at the hands of honest citizens. Among the foremost agents in ncconiplidhiug this end was the Hon.

William H. Friday, who hmt been soHted us member of Asecmblr for the Sixteenth District of Kings Conuty. It is deemed appropriate that some public notice bo taken of tbe triumph or right over outrage iu this rase. Therefore, it is proposed that a banquet be tendered to Mr. Friday, by bis constituents and friends as a testimonial of uppreciAtion for his fidelity and success in contesting the, wrong done to the citizenship of the district.
