Mrs. Minnie Klein, 25 years old, of No. 362 Central avenue, tried to end her life with carholjc acid last evening in' the hallway of George Johnson's saloon, at No. 402 Rroadway. She was discovered by the saloonkeeper, who sent a call to the Eastern District Hospital for an amha-lance, and the woman was taken to that institution, where her life was saved.

lVhen she discovered that her suicidal sot had been a failure she cried and said she exceedingly regretted thnt her life had been saved. She added that her domestic life had been very unpleasant, before the woman waa taken to the Lee Avenue Police Court to-day, where she waa arraigned before Magistrate Kramer on the charge of attempted suicide, the woman's busbund and her sister appeared at the hospital. Mrs. Klein embraced her sister but pushed her husband away from her when he undertook to kiss her. Mra.

Klein informed iter huaband she desired to have nothing further to do with him. Later In court Mrs. Klein said that just before she had taken the acid in a fit of despondency she had gone into the saloon to look for her husband. On her promise not to to-peat the act she was discharged. publican -leader, Mr.

Wheeler, and the third for' some reason was recommended hy Magistrate Brenner. There is a howl among Republicans as a result, who feel that Repuhlienn patrOnsge is to be used to assist Mr. Coffey in his fight against the Democratic organization, ODELL IsWeNT.

B. Odell, when seen at Republican headquarters in the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-dny, said that the State Committee la considering carefully the information furnished by the county chairmen, with whom- a conference was had last Saturday. Mr. Odell did not care to divulge the farts leal-nod regai ding the conditions throughout the State, which would indicate that the prospects are not as rosy-hned as the Koptiblbnn managers would like to have it. The anti-imperialism issue has create! havoc hmnng tho Repiliiu-an forces throughout the country distri ts, and from nil parts comes reliable information that hundreds of life-long, djed in thc-wool Republicans are deserting the Republican ranks and rallying to the anti-trust, nnti-imperlialism standard of Bryan, and Stevenson.

There is a dullness at Republican headquarters in the Fifth Annuo that has a "jarring" effort upon the -alter. Mr. Odell does not arrive until clove to noon daily, when he rcoeiyes ids few callers affably but gives little information regarding the conditions. There is litttle improvement at the national headquarters, the only lu-f being afforded hy the gaudy display of bunting and flags, of which a plentiful supply are arranged around the desks to tic occupied by Jbe National Committeemen when headquarters are opened this week. Senator N.

B. Scott, of Virginia, who will have charge of the speakers' bureau, was on hand to-day. hut had nothing to say regarding the situation. A conference will take place on Thursday or Friday at the national headquarters, in whieh National Committeemen Manley. Hanna, Gibbs, Scott and Bliss will take part.

Quotations from London Were Less Bearish Than Had Been Expected Traders Expressed More Con-fidcnce in the Money Outlook-Governments New 4s Advance. As the superficial aspect of the Chinese situation was more favorable this morning the stock market responded with higher prices ami increased activity. The quotations from London were lcs bearish than had been expected and the optiokm among traders here was in nowise abated, There waa a considerable number of issues dealt in, and advances extended to 1 per cent. In several stocks, including St.

Faul, United States Leather common and some members of the Steel group. Sugar was barely steady at a fractional improvement from Saturday. Metropolitan and Brooklyn Rapid Transit were firm. In Government bonds the new 4s were up per cent. Traders expressed more confidence in the money outlook on account of the large gain hy the hanks in snrplus reserve on Saturday.

After the first hour the urgency of the buying demand lessened. JOHN H. OROURKE ROBBED. Thief Steals 1 $SOO from the Con- tractor. The office of John H.

O'Rourke in the Franklin Building on Remsen street, was entered in some unknown manner on Saturday afternoon and $800 which but a few minutes before had been drawn from tl0 bank stolon. Sergeant Humphries, who in charge of the local dntoctira bureau, lias several officers on tho ense, but it is not likely that the thief will lie rim down. Although the robbery was reported to the police soon after it had occurred, yet every effort was made to keep the uows from the ros, Mr. ORourke, who is a well-known contractor, has his office on the second floor of the Franklin Building, aud is a heavy owner of Hygienic Ie stock. Ho runs plant on the corner of Douglass and Bond streets and employs large number of men.

George Wilson, who is his confidential clcik, generally goes to tho hank around It oclock every Saturday moraine, and when he went there two flays ago he drew $800 and honied back to the office, which he had left alone. It was exactly 11 40 o'clock when he got to. the office, and he lost no time in counting the money ont. He came across a $2 hill which appeared to be somewhat off color, and he decided to take it back to the bank again. He is not quite sure whether he-put the balance in the safe or in a desk drawer, hut when he eauie hack from the bank again he found that the money had vanished.

He first opened the desk and when he saw that it was not there he became greatly alarmed. Then he worked the combination on the safe and when the lock dropped and he pulled the door open and did not find the money there he lost no time in railing np the police on the telephone. He had a talk with Deputy Chief McLaughlin and several officers were despatched to the Remsen Building without delay. When they reached there and the amount of money reported to them ns having been taken, away, they started in to examine the doors and indows, and even went so far as to look over the combination of the safe. THE DEMOCRATIC! OUTLOOK GOOD, Justice Hir.chberg Writes the Opla-lon, in Which All Agree but Presiding Justice Goodrloh, Who Is Absent.

Arthur Barnett recovered $65 from the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company for an alleged overcharge of faro and for being ejected from the companys car for refusing to pay an extra fare beyond Tweaty-socond avenue. The matter was submitted to the Appellate Division on an agreed State of facts and to-day a decision Was rendered giving judgment for the defendant company and upholding the 10-ccnt fare. Justice Hirscliberg, tfho writes the opin-( iOu of the court, Presiding Justice rich not sitting, shows how the defendant required the control of its present system. The provision of Chapter 252, Laws of 1884, as amended, by virtue of which tho plaintiff claims that tho defendant is pre-! eluded from charging more than one fare, I is contained in Section 13 of the Act of 1884. and in the revision is embodied in i Section.

101 qf the Railroad Law as Section 13 of Chapter 252 of the Laws of 1884 is ns follows: i Sec. 13. No company or corporation incorporated under, or constructing 'and operating a railroad under the provisions i of this act shall charge nny passenger more than five cents for one continuous ji ride from any point on its road or on any -f road or line or branch operated by it or under its control. section, limiting the right to charge fare the statute says should not be con- i strued to apply to any road then con- strncted and in operation or to any part of such road. The effect is the same, assum- ing that steam railroads were at ail within the provision of the statute, as though the Sea Beach Railroad had been named spe-i cifioally as territory exempted from the operation of the law.

Section 101 of the Railroad Law provides that the limitation to the charge of a fare is not oply confined to the class of railroads to which the article refers, vis: street railroads, bat by any fair construction of the express terras of section 101, must he regarded as excluding from Its operatibu the Sea Beach Railroad by of the provision that it shall not apply to nny part of any road constructed- and in operation prior to the passage of the act of 1884. lnc'aS was the case in the art of 1884, I theexceptioon is pot to the corporation ojrning. such a road, but to the road itself, and; every part of -it. It necessarily follows that the corporation owning the Sea i Beach' Railroad could charge a passenger at least five cents for traveling over its road as that sum is within the limit which that' company under the terms and conditions of its may-lawfully charge. 1 It also necessarily follows that the company owning the Sea Beach road could lease the, Third avenue line and operate both as a continuous route, charging two fares.

to my mind it seems equally 1 clear that' the defendant, although the Conditions Excellent for One of His Famous Dinners TO HARMONIZE THE FACTIONS. Whenever Kings County Republicans Want a Good Dinner at Mr, Woodruff's Expense They Precipitate a Faction Fight Senator Coffey Turns to Republicans for Patronage. It is almost certain that Liurtonant-Gov-ernor Woodruff will not follow out Ilia original intentions on hia return from Europe on Wednesday, hut, on the contrary, ho will postpone his start for ills camp in the Adirondacka. It is the universal impression among Republicans thnt Mr. Woodruff will stay in town for a few days and devote himself to on effort to straighten out the muddle in Kings County affairs.

When Mr. Woodruff started for Europe after the Philadelphia convention, Jacob Worth had only been mentioned in connection with the Congressional nomination in the Fifth District. But since then Mr. Worths friends and the anti-Daily element in the local organization and their force and power ill the Republican political affairs cannot bo underestimated. It is plainly apparent to any one familiar with Republican affairs in this county that there was to lie a break out in the party against Mr.

Dady this fall. Too much' Dady has been the slogan for more than two years. No matter where one turns complaints are to he met with, and criticism is expressed concerning Mr. Dadys management of affairs and his assumption of a mentorship over Mr. Woodruff.

It is trap of course that a great many vero and some are still averse to openly antagonizing Mr. Dady because of his recognition hy Senator IMntt. It is openly charged now that Mr. Dady has used Senator Platt's name as a shield for himself in almost every undertaking. Since Senator Platt has allowed it to become known through the medium of a newspaper confidant thnt he is not tied up to Mr.

Dady the anti-Daily element in the party is filled with confidence in the out-jeome of their bgttle againRt Mr. Dady. It may be true that there was nothing to fear from the Worth movement in the county, if it was left to itself, although there are many who feel that Jacob Worth can get strength enough to throw down Mr. Daily. But between the Worth sentiment and those who are personally arrayed agaiasj Mr.

Dady, the situation is in a fair vmy to shape itsrtf into one of the strongest political battles in tbe history of the party. Of course, if Mr. Piatt says the word for Worth, there is an end to It, albeit Mr. Dadys henchmen say that he will fight anyhow. In that ease, Mr.

Dady will exchange plaees with Mr. Worth and battle for his political life. It is the possibility of such a situation as this that makes it necessary for Mr. Dady to have the control of tbe First Assembly District So far as R. Ross Appleton is concerned, hi does not enter personally Info the First Assembly District fight.

That phase of the contest is a manufactured one made and circulated to serve a purpose of the enemy. It is not Appleton who is making the fight. It Is a fight for recognition on the part men who have been Republicans all their lives and who are substantial members of the party when it comes to the securing of finances. Referring to this condition in the First Assembly District and to the story about the Union League Club printed some time sgo when Mr. Dady suggested that the books at headquarteri be examined to find out how much snch people contributed to the campaigns, a Kell-known Republican said this morning: It would be a wise thing for somebody to make tbe examination suggested hy Mr.

Dady, and then continue the examination back to the time before Mr. Dady was in control and when Jake 'Worth was handling county Senator Platt's interest in the situation brings to the front a story that is going the rounds to-day to the effect that Mr. Platt has intimated to Worth that he will not interfere against him, and that he will leave the announcement of that fact to Mr. Woodruff on his return. It is said that three very well-known men.

whose names have not so far entered into the discussions of the situation, called on Mr. Platt a few days ago and pointed out to him tha danger of antagonizing the Worth movement. This does not refer to either William Bcrri or Charles A. Moore. There is one thing certain, and that is that Mr.

Platt Is very familiar with the feeling against Mr. Dady. This is shown in the articles that are pnbllshed by his confidant in the newspaper field. Mr. Dady will not wait for the arrival of Lieutenant-Governor Woodruff to name the Campaign Committee including the Auxiliary Committee of prominent Republicans from every Assembly district.

Mr. Dady haa called a meeting of tbe County Committee for to-morrow at 5 oclock, at which the Campaign Committee will be appointed. Some of Mr. Woodruff's friends take this as being ominous of a certain amount of fear of what Mr. Woodruff may do or1 say on his return.

Otherwise they would -only-he -court emte -and graceful act on Mr. Dady's part to wait for Mr. Woodruff and consult him before appointing the committee. It waa glvlrn out to the press at Republican headquarters to-day that Colonel Edward E. Britton had borrowed a large yacht, in whieh he intended to take a party of Republicans down the bay to meet Mr.

Woodruff coming home on the Majestic next Wednesday. The story, at given ont at Republican headquarters, stated that Colonel Britton had Invited the following gentlemen to accompany him: Waiter B. Atterbury, M. J. Dad), George E.

Waldo, Frederick A. Schroeder Fiecher, Robert Magistrate Henry Bristow, Hon. William Wallace, William Berrl and Charles A. Moore. Colonel Britton rang up The Citiaen" office on the telephone and stated that it waa hia desire to havj it published that there was not any truth in the atory at ail.

Ha waa not going down to meet Mr. Woodruff in a yacht and had not made any nr-rangementa with auch purpose. Reeorda Commissioner Waldo has put three Twelfth Ward men at work in his cilice. They are Peter Kenna. Jamea Kelly and man named Aithaeh.

The first mentioned waa recomriiended hy Senator Michael J. Coffey, the ageond by the Re Sharp Rebuke front-; Magistrals Bristow This Morning. HE PLAINLY SUGGESTS ROB BERY. Hia Honor Declares That the Aotion of Connsel in Grabbing People aa They Enter tbe Court Room on Business Must Cease A Case in Point in Which Lawyer MoGea Makes Himself Prominent Far. nishes the Text for Needed Leo.

ture. Magistrate Bristow this morning sharply criticised the methods employed hy certain attorneys in the Butler Street Court in seeming clients. The judge declared that at limes they did nothing else than rob the pom- people who Imre occasion to Visit tile comt of the ten dollars they own. A woman nnined Mrs. '15150 Foreman, Of No.

421 Ilirks street, told Court Officer Patrick Fngin that she had been asked hy Lawyer Mi Gee for $5 in order that eha might secure warrant. Mr. Fagin promptly eonveyed the news to Magistrate Bristow, yviio was highly indignant when he heard of it. He called the case' that Mrs. Foreman was interested in, and Lawyer McGee appeared for her.

Mra. foreman had a Mrs. Morrissey, of tha same address, haled to the court for an assault on a summons. A lawyer is never needed in a summons case, and neither has money to he paid to secure subpoenas, Before Judge Bristow heard what thp complaint was he inquired from the woman if it was true that her attorney had tried to get $5 from her, as she had told Fagiu. The woman answered in the affirmative.

Metiee. howeter. denied the itate-ment. He declared that he told Mra. Foreman, who does not understand the English language very well, that he would btndle her case for that sum.

He denied having esked that amount from her to get a summons. Judge Bristow closely questioned the woman and at last she said that he asked her for the money as a fee. Magistrate Bristow was purely mad over the transaction, and his remarks were anything hut pleasant for the lawyers who heard them. I wish to say right now. stated Magistrate Byiston.

that the lawyers will have to stop the practice of going from one bench to another in this court getting clients. Why, i tis a disgrace to the profee-slon. A lawyer is not needed in a summons case and the lawyers know that only too well. They should be honest enough to tell their clients that their services are not needed in a summons case, instead of taking up their sides and trying to get front 50 cents up to $10 for their trouble. It is simply an outrage the way the lawyers go about in this court room meddling with cases that they should leave alone, and then taking the people's money.

It is simply a case of swindling the poor people, and it must stop. The lawyers are not honest in such matters, and they should reform themselves somewhat. Lawyer McGee interrupted the Judges speech at this moment and said that it was an injustice to call him alone to account tor such an action. I am not reflecting npon yon, said Magistrate Bristow. "I am speaking in general about the ways the lawyers have in going about here.

McGee was then Informed by His Honor that hia services were not needed in the case and he left the court-room. It has for a long time been the practice of a number of lawyers in the Butler Street Court to solicit trade among the If they hear a womans story, and it should be something to the effect that a neighbor strnck her in the fare, they will urge the person to get a warrant and then guarantee to have her jailed. This give tha rierk additional work, and sometimes the court officers have to spend the best portion of their nights in looking for the persons wanted. The same lawyers take whatever they can get from their clients. Some have taken as low as 50 cents, while they have secured as high as $20.

There are several lawyers in the court, however, who do dot indulge in this practice. Only a week ago a certain lawyer in the same conrt tried Ko get $10 from a woman to get a warns AA for her, but since the atory leaked ont he has not been seen. The clerks of the court have been so worried by the lawyers dragging persons into the inner room for warrants that with them patience has ceased to be a virtue. A short time ago an order was issued to keep the lawyers out of the clerks room, but they do not obey it. Mrs.

Foreman and Mrs. Morrissy were told to go home and relate their trouble to their landlord. i DEATHS. CARET On Monday. July 23.

Captain Hardy Sent from Coney Island to Flushing Avenue. TOO LENIENT WITH GAMBLERS. Captain Driscoll Goes to tbe Island Captain Eason Is Sent to Port Hamilton Driscoll Has Been in New Utreokt for Three Tears. Captain Samuel Hardy, who has been in charge of the Coney Island police station for the past four months, was sent back to the Flushing avenue station this afternoon. The transfer was made, so it was said, because the captain dealt too leniently with gamblers at the hetrrh.

The transfer was sent out by Chief Devery shortly after noon to-day, but had not reached the borough headquarters at 2 o'clock. Deputy Chief McLaughlin waa not at all surprised at' tbe transfer, for it is said that he anticipated such a move several days ago. Captain Hardys'place will be taken by Captain Dennis Driscoll, who has been stationed at Fort Hamilton for close on to three years and is a thorough disciplinarian. He has been on the force for over twenty years. Captain Eason, who is succeeded by Captain Hardy, was sent to the Fort Hamil- ton station.

CHURCH FESTIVAL ROW. of It Heard 1m the Lee Avenue Police Court. Justioe Kramer, sitting in the Lee Avenue Police Court, this morning, inculcated some Christian sentiments into the minds of certain church members and incidentally reminded them that they should live more in accord with the truths they' preached. The reprimand was called forth by the complaint of Mrs. Louisa Eibert, of No.

355 South' Fourth street, who had Mrs. Gussio Docktermann, of No. 155 North Fifth street, arrested for assault. According to the testimony the trouble, arose on June 14, Inst. On that date there was a church festival of the St.

Mathews German Lutheran Church, and jealousy arose between the two ladies over the award of some prizes. An altercation ensued later between the two, in which Mrs. Eibert seemed to get the worst of It. Justice Kramer after hearing the testimony held Mrs. Docktermann in $100 to keep the peace and advised both ladles in the future to hold theit tempers.

Judge Hnrd Has Sent Her to Long Island Hospital. "Ada Barker," the brown-haired girl who was found wandering about on the hill near the Brooklyn Institute a week ago, aud who was detained hy the police and sent to the Kings County Hospital for examination because she seemed unable to give any account of herself, was hy Judge Hurd, in the County Court to-day. committed to the Long Island Hospital for tbe Insane.

Since she first appeared to puzzle the authorities she haa baen in the Kings County Hospital under observation. She had little to say, answering questions in monosyllables. One of her utterances wrs to the effect that her name was Ada Mignon Barker, that her mothers name was Mignon, and so also, her grandmother, who used at one time to live in Raleigh. N. C.

She also said that her mother was alive and with her some place two weeks ago. She thought that the place was Atlantic "City, but was not at all sure. When Became to localities she was hopelessly vague A letter directed to "Ada M. Barker, 2517 Howard avenue, Brooklyn." was received at the Fost Office here four days ago. The postman failed to find the person and the Jet tor hy mistake went to the Society for Improving the Condition of the Poor, whence it was forwarded to the Charities Department, whence it went to Superintendent Dnryea.

Clerk Short said to-day that the letter would he returned unopened to Box 121, West Raleigh, N. and he would send a letter there explaining and describing Miss Barker. Fourteen years ago a yonng woman answering Miss Barker's description, except ns to dress, appeared in a Brooklyn newspaper office and told a wonderful story concerning persecution of herseif by the police. It proved 1o he entirely a figment of imagination.

She gave her name as Ada Barker then. Her manner waa quiet and refined, she wsa Tery well dressed and exceedingly handsome. If this is the same, as likely, her rtremnatances have changed for the worse, for' she was -poorly clad when found wandering and to-day wears a hospital dress. i WOMAN HANGED HERSELF. She Had Been 111 and Was Tired of Life.

Despondent because of a protracted illness, Miss Julia R. Arbona, aged 51, killed herself hy hanging in her room at No. 7184 Monroe street yesterday. She lived with her widowed sister, Mrs. Mary Von Vorst.

Although she was a sick woman, Miss Arbona appeared to be in good spirits when she retired on Saturday night. When she was called for breakfast yesterday morning by Mrs. Van Vorst's son sli replied that she did not feel hungry, aud didn't want anything to eat. Some time later her sister went to the room, and waa horrified to find Miss Arbona hanging from a peg behind the door with a strap around her neck. The uu-fortunate woman's feet were drawn np, from the floor In order that the full weight of her body should rest upon the fatal strap round her neck.

Mrs. Van Vorst screamed for help, and her gntmt tr -qfr fu-Yhr-wtnttrm trnisw fixe -bioeka away.

Jamea Bnilding To-Day, Said the Campaign Committee Wai in Receipt of Mneh Encouraging Newe Would Not Go Into Details. Democratic State headquarters, in the St. James Building, Manhattau, were in charge of John A. Mason to-day. Mr.

Mason was bnsily engaged all the morning opening his mail and answering the large number of requests for campaign literature and information of various kinds from different sections of the State. A large table In the outer room at headquarters is covered with pamphlets relating to matters of interest in the campaign. This is intended principally for callers who are permitted to help themselves. A large number of letters have been received by Mr. Mason from various counties containing gratifying news regarding the prospects for the Democratic ticket.

Mr. Mason was running over a pile of these when "The Citizen reporter called to-day and talked interestingly regarding their contents. The names of the writers, or detailed information as to tbe sections of the State referred to, Mr. Mason would not make public for obvious reasons. Here is a letter." said Mr.

Mason, "from one of the best known Democrats ia Northern Netv Tork, writing on the situation in his own city. He says: I have talked with about thirty Gold Democrats who voted for McKinley four year ago, and as yet have found none who does not intend to vote for Bryan. I have also a letter here from a miln employed in one of the large composing rooms in this city. He writes that hia fellow-compositors have gone on record, and seventeen in this one composing-room who were for McKinley four years ago now announce their determination to support Bryan, making Bryan's vote in this one composing-room thirty-five per cent, more than it was four years ago. "From an agricultural county in the neighborhood of New Tork, the writer of this letter states that a thorough canvass ha been made in this village.

This is practidqliy the first canvas received at headqnarterT The village, Olqcorrespondent writes, gave McKinley thirtj-foUr four years ago, and Bryan will carry it hy a small majority. 'Die disaffection among tha Re-publican farmers in this section of the State is more marked than I have ever known before. A correspondent in Western New Tork tells me that George Gath, the well-known German-American of the western part of the tate of Lockport, Niagara County and prominent In Wyoming County and that section of the State. whn was on the tump four years ago for McKinley, lias come out publicly for Bryan and will make speeches for him this year. He writes that Mr.

Gath is a man of force and character and a valuable acquisition to the Democratic forces. Mr. Mason would not discuss the mstter of the probable candidate for Governor. He smiled when questioned and replied: "It is not a prerogative of the State Committee to tiominate candidates. The convention will take care of that." Divorce Notes.
