Rurtnn is the antithesis of Fuller. Whereas Fuller Is Ignorant Mr. Burton 'is an educated gentleman. Fuller has Bever been other than a cheap party worker of the grade of ward heeler. Mr.

Burton on the contrary is a man above reproach, unless It be a reproach to be of an Independent turn in politics. No one ever accused Fuller of being independent Nor has he ever been handicapped in his political dirty work by too much respectafiility or a supersensa-tlve conscience, Mr. Burton fias already been congratulated on his prospective nomination by Republicans, who will Reize toe opportunity of rebuking a disgraceful nomination by the Republican machine.

WANT $30,000 To Erect a New Building If They Cannot Get the Money They WiU Step Down and Out The Present Structure Dilapidated and Uninhabitable Six Employees Already on the Sick List Health of Two Hnndred Boys Endangered. I nless the Board of Estimate and Apportionment sees fit to provide a home for the Disciplinary Training School for Boys, situated at Eighteenth avenue and Fifty-fourth street, there is a good prospect that the whole board of managers will resign, the school will be abandoned and the inmates, now numbering nearly 200, will have to be distributed among other institutions, strictly penal or otherwise; While it has been generally known that the institution was not what it should be in the matter of providing proper accommodations for the young inmates, all boys, ranging in years from 7 to 14, the real seriousness of the situation was not made clear till yesterday. The facts came out in the hearing before the Board of Estimate in the application of the board of managers for an appropriation for a new building. Louis F. Firuski, of the board of managers, appeared at the hearing jtejtprday to answer whatever questions'might be asked by Mayor Van Wyck pr any of the other members of the Board Vf Estimate.

As it happened the Mayor aid ask some questions and so did Controer Coler. Thaucstiona and the answers brought out the fact that the condition of the institution building was a disgrace to the community. It has been out of repair, it appeared, since the fire two years ago and the health the boy inmates as well as those who were employed to care for, watch over and teach them was seriously menaced daily. The sanitary conditions are everything, but what they should be, it was pointed out, and a serious epidemic is threatened if is pot done and done soon. After the fire that destroyed part of the building took place a number of the boys had to be transferred Jor lack of room and they were sent to the Catholic Protectory, where the city pays $120 a year for their keep.

The question was asked at the hearing yesterday why it required only $120 a year per capita in the Catholic Protectory to keep a boy and $165 in the Dis ciplinary Training School. The answer was thaTC.OOO boys could be kept cheaper than 200, which is the average number of inmates in the Disciplinary school. The Board of Managers asked no more this year for the operation of the school, but they did ask for sn appropriation for a new building. The Board asked $78,000 in all, $48,000 for all expenses, the same Inst year, and $30,000 or a new building. The salary roll is about' $21,000 and about $15,000 has been spent in needed improvements.

The Mayor did not indicate what the Board of Estimate will do in the matter, but it is pretty certain that if the money needed to make the institution a healthful as well as a useful institution is not forthcoming there will be a general resignation among the Board of Managers who are unwilling any longer to shoulder the responsibilities of sickness and death that threaten the institution. About five months ago a committee representing the Board of Managers called on Mayor Van Wyck and went over the whole matter with him, so that he was pretty familiar with the conditions as they exist when the matter came up yesterday. 'Controller Coler la also familiar with the institution at he has personally visited and Inspected -the plant. I One of the members of the Board of Managers said to-day: "I do not know what the other members of the Board are going to do in case we are not provided with a new building in which to house our charges. I do not care to accept longer the responsibilities the office entails.

The first thing we know we will have an epidemic of typhoid fever or something else there, and its consequences can only be imagined. The building is almost uninhabitable, Already six of the employees, teachers and others have been taken sick, and are even now on the sick list. The building Is a most dilapidated condition, and is fit only to be torn down and replaced by a new one. Even now the evidences of the fire are to be found in half the rooms, where the walls are still blackened and the wood work charred. We have asked for no increase for the conduct of the school, but we do need a new building, and need it quick.

The Board of Managers serves without pay, and I know that, as far as I am coicerned, my interest in the institution is a matter of civic pride. It has oc casioned me many sleepless nights already and taken time that I could have profitably devoted to my business. I did not know really what the conditions were when accepted the position. I. do not want to say what will ha'ppen if we are not pro vided with healthful and suitable quarters.

I know what I am going to do in that The State Superintendent of Charities has declared that the building is a disgrace to this community, and everyone who knows the facts will agree with him." There will be a meeting of the Board of Managers this afternoon. Just what the purpose'of the meeting will be and what will be done there could not be learned before hand. It Is likely that they will wait yet awhile until it Is learned whst the Hoard of Estimate will do la th matter. BIT IP TBI RAIL It Killed a Trackman at the Loop This After noon. FRANK RITZ THE VICTIM.

The Fourth Death Directly Attriuut able to the Brooklyn Rapid Tran sit Company's New System The Loop, Which Is the Bugbear of Twenty-sixth Warders, Has Added to Its Bad Repute. Frank Ritz. aged 30, of 70 East One Hundred and Fourth street, received shock from the third rail of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Compnny at the Manhattan crossing loop about 12:30 o'clock to-day.

T. He had just stepped down from the platform and slipped, falling on the rail. This is the fourth death from the third rail sinrp the new system was inaugurated three months ago.

The loop is the extraordinary and amazing trap for passengers by means of which the Brooklyn Rapid Transit succeeds in thoroughly confusing and bedeviling its patrons. It has been in operatiita three months, and ha set the entire Twenty-sixth Ward by the ears and produced excitement and indignation that extend far out into Queens County. All sorts of clubs and associations hare thundered against it on account of the numereus obstacles it interposes in the way of people who want to get to their homes and don't care to play the game of changing cars, running up and down stairs and landing at wholly undesired destinations that the company has set for bem. Wbenthe Railroad Commission was in the city two weeks ago the loop was one of the things most complained of.

The Tammany Boss Tails Into "the Trap Upon Each Occasion If Somebody Would Only Put a Pad-look on Croker's Mouth There Might1 Be a Chance of Carryine the State for Bryan. Benjamin B. Odell, Republic.

State chairman and gubernatorial cnnibln and Richard Croker, Tammany chieftain, had a chat this morning. It was not long, but as both gentlemen enjoy the reputation of saying "a whole lot is a few words." what passed between them was decidedly interesting. Mr. Odell sat in his customary place at the end of the dimly lighted corridor of the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Mr.

Croker did not leave his comfortable chair in Senator Murphy's Hoffman House headquarters. Half a dozen newspaper rporters acted as the medium by which the sentiments of both were exchanged. "I see that my friends, the enemy, are censuring me for sitting at my desk, as they claim, and paying out money instead of going on the stump." said Mr. Odell when the reporters made their Usual morning call. "Now." he continned, "I have no money to pay out." in the first place; and in the second place they want me to do as Stanchfield is doing.jputting bis foot in his montn every lime ue opens iu "I made a speech last night on the East Side; I may make another, but it takes me three hours to prepare an extempor aneous speech and I can use that time to better advantage at work here," and the Republican State chairman unconsciously loyed with the corner of the checkbook on his desk.

"But: then, I am not establishing a gazing wistfully at a corner of the ceiling. There is Chester A. Arthur, who was chairman of the County Com mittee when he ran for Vice-President. "I prefer really to let Croker talk. Now every time he talks he helps me.

And Mr. Odell sat back in his chair like a man who has clinched his argument. "He wants to start me talking, eh?" said Mr. Croker, when the reporters drop ped, over to the Hoffman House. Mr.

Croker appeared if he didn't know U- ing slignfTy, he added: "I'll give him all he wants. If what I say does him so much good, let him an swer my arguments. I will ask him some questions that he cannot and will not answer. He don't dare. He's bluffing, and he knows it.

I wish you would go and tell him that. Mr. Odell was more subdued when the reporters returned to the Fifth avenue rendezvous. The Republican Gubernatorial candidate was told of the invitation to an swer some pertinent questions on the issues of the campaign. 'I have nothing to say," was hla only reply.

American Machinery for Canada. Frank F. Healey a well-known mechan ical engineer of the Eastera District, has been engaged by the American Stoker Company of Erie, to go to Montreal and supervise the installation of eight large steam boilers and an engine of 500 horse-power for the Montreal Electric Lighting Company. This plant is to supply the city of Montreal with electric illumination and the work is another instance of Canadians seeking American machinery.

crati Will Hold Their Own in the Senate and May Win One Seat- Probable Candidate! for the AssemblyChairman Shea Answers a Question by Fassett. Dcmnrmli nominations for the Stale Senate will be made in this county to-night The gentlemen selected for candidates and the places where the conventions will be held are as follows: Third District Thomas II. Cullcn. Con vention at Jefferson Hall, Nos. 4 and 5 Court square.

Fourth District .1. Ornltan MacMahon. Convention at No. Kent avenue. Fifth District Dr.

-James H. MoCabe. Convention at No. 309 Union street. Sixth District Walter C.

Convention at Military Hall, Seholes and Leon-ard streets. Eighth District John H. Durnck. Con vention at the Jefferson Club, No. 754A llalsey street.

Ninth District Joseph Wagner, Conven tion at Khodes Hall, Do Kalh and Central avenues. Three of the above, Cullcn, McCarren and Wagner arc the present reprcsenta fives of their districts in the Senate and tbjyir renomination was never iu doubt, notwithstanding the circulation of a report that Senator Wagner was to be turned down. "The probable nomination of J. iGrattari MacMahon, Walter C. Burton and John II.

Durack has been previously an nounced in "The Citizen." The one new vame in the list is that of Dr? James H'. McCnbe, the selected candidate for the Fifth Senate District. This is the district that has given most trouble to the party leaders. It is believed that the situation there is happily met by the choice of Dr. McCabe.

He is a resident of the Twelfth Ward, living at N'o. 125 WiHiams street, which is in that section commonly known as "The Point," and has a lot of friends not only in the immediate vicinity of his home, but throughput the Senate district. He is practically a life-long resident of the district, because he was born just across its borders in the Sixth Ward, a little more than thirty years ago. Until his sixteenth year he attended Public School No. 27k from which he graduated in 188B.

He next attended Sacred Heart College in Vine-land, N. and took the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1891. He studied medicine in the Long Island Medical College, getting his diploma in 1S95, since which year he has married and settled down to the practice of his profession, in the Twelfth and adjoining wards. The nomination for Senator comes altogether unsolicited to Dr. -McCabe.

When Dr. Andrew McGillen was decided to be unavailable because of the question raised regarding his eligibility, Leader William O'Donnell of the Ninth Assembly District and Leader William A. Doyle of the Seventh District consulted and agreed upon Dr. McCabe. Leader Gray, of the Eighth Assembly District, cheerfully assenting.

Dr. McCnbe will therefore go into the campaign with the advantage of having the Democrats of the district united and harmonious in support of his candidacy. As Ihe district is overwhelmingly'Demo-cratic, he need have no anxiety as to she outcome of the election. The fact that their choice first fell npou Dr. Gillen and then, when he was found unavailable, upon another physician, Dr.

McCabe, suggests that the party leaders are desirous of healing the hurts which factional strife inflicted upon the party organization in the district. In this respect it is believed that Dr. McCabe will prove a successful practitioner, as no rancorous feeling1-has bcen-aroused against him iu any quarter, and he has strong personal friends all over the district Democrats are confident that the county's Democratic representation In the Senate will not be less than during the past session that is to say, five out otbe Bey-en, while there is a chance for a gain of one by the election of Lawyer J. Grattan MacMahon in the Fourth District. The Republican candidate in that district, Mr.

Audette, got the nomination after a hotly contested fight between Senator Davis and Assemblyman DeGraw. There is a whole-lot of bad feeling among Republicans in the district, and It is highly improbable that Audette will poll anything Tike full party vote. He is, not a strong candidate by any means, having been turned down after serving one terra in the Assembly several years ago, during which- he did nothing to distinguish himself or strengthen himself with the voters of the district' Mr. MacMahon far outranks him in ability and Is a cultured, polished statesman whose candidacy is certain to commend itself to many independent Republicans. In the opinion of those who know the Sixth Senate District the Democratic can; didate for Senator, Walter' C.

Burton wiU have no great trouble in defeating Ru-' dolph or Randolph Fuller, the Republican nominee, Before Mr. Burton was mentioned for the nomination mnny Republicans in the district were openly proclaiming their intention to cut Fuller, and expressing a hoie that the Democrats would put up a good man who would be a contrast to the candidate of their own party. Mr. A i i Twin Sisters Testify Against Their Own Mother. GIN, WHISKY AND MEN.

"Well, yon don't expect me to send her to jail for the rest of her life, do you?" pursued the magistrate. "I don't know," stubnornly replied Mack. "She's so mean, getting drunk all the tima and going about with other men that I can'get along with her any more." The children looked from father to mother as this colloquy went on, butthey clung to their father's hand. "Your Honor," struck in Sophia, "the whole trouble is that my husband has got another woman and he wants -to- get rid of -v "That's a lie, sir" warmly Interrupted Mack.

"No such language here," commanded the judge. The magistrate sent the woman back to the "pen" and then he called the twin sisters into bis private room and closely questioned them. Little "Carrie said that when ber mother, was at home she was always drunk, "What does she drink?" asked the judge, and gin, sir, and when we trie. to take it away from her, my sister and, me, she hollored "murder" and chased ua out of the house-" "Did you ever see any other men abopt the house when your father waa away?" "Yes, sir," and the girl mentioned the name of one particular ipdividual and related certain, circumstances which need not be repeated. The magistrate waa satisfied.
