I Depredations by burglars and sneak thieves have been unpleasantly frequent In tbe upper wards during tbe past month, and tbe police have taken far more than ordinary precautions to guard against their visits being successful.

Shortly before last midnight a telephonic message was received at Police Headquarters stating that there was a burglar the dwelling at 882 Lafayette avenue. The mes.age was sent over tb? wires to the Gates avenue station, and Capt. Brannon nurried unaccompanied to the bouse. He foond all in confnsion as far as tbe female inmates of tbe dwelling were concerned. The male beau of Cue household, however, seemed imperturbable and lav in bed in spit, of th excited groop of member of tbs opposite tex who were fear of a momentary rirnt from tbe burglar.

They told tbe captain of the no see they bad beard in the lower part of tbe bouse, and said tbe visitor was then prowling around in tbe dtntng room. Tbe captain went to tne lower floor, lighting every gas burner be came across in tne rooms aod balls. 1 be diumg-room was found to be unoccu- piod and so was the kitchen. Every door and window was securely iasceoed on tbe inside. The cellar was next visited, and there was not tbe slightest evidence that aught had been disturbed.

Tbe Captain was nonplussed and vexed. He concluded tbat it was mere female imagination, after all, and was about to leave when a peculiar sound outside of tbe kitchen door was heard. There he is out there in the storm shed, was tbe announcement by one of tbe frightened romeiL Cape. Brennan unbolted tbe door and gazed around tbe storm shed. There was nothing to be seen, but while he stood there the action of the window oiew open on unfastened screen door that closed with a bang.

That was repeated several times. The Captain looked at the woman, and tbe woman looked at tbe Captain. Never a word thev spoke, and with enhanced dignity, and an expression of deepdis gust on his face, tbe Captain passed out to tbe street, mute and tad. THE PROHIBITIONISTS. ts Seeare A Newel Scheme Inaagarated Sigaateree, Tbe Prohibition party are carrying one move tbe ferry syndicates reorganization Of the Union Ferry Companys affaire wasmade yesterday in tbs incorporation ot its new company at Albany with a capital fixed at $3,000,000 and a Board of Directors totally different from the present one, and yet so composed show beyond tbe shadow of doubt, what is even acknowledged by some of the present officers of the company, that the svndidate has a controlling interest la the new as well as the present company.

The Board of Directors mentioned in the act of Incorporation is onlr a temporary one, however, aod will give place to many of tbe members of tbe present board at tbe first meeting that is held by toem, although Mr. Male will not be president nor the Hon, Felix Campbell, vice-president, os in tbe existing Board; the former, not carrae to retain his office, and tbe latter stating that be held bis present office only to oblige a few gentlemen who are interested in tbe syndicates operations. It a question in tha minds of many ciers, also, whether the syndicate will simply liquidate its preneut company and reinvest tbe money received from the sale of its assets in the oamtal stock of tbe new company, or whether it will seek to sell the $3,000,000 worth of the stock of tbe new com pany, pay that amount aod $200,000 additional into tbe treasury of the present company for the assets recently sold to tbe new company and be content with its profits of nearly $1000,000 on tne investment, which it coaid in this wav secure. It is thought that the latter plan will he the one followed, but as to this both tbe officers and directors of tne company naturally refuse to sneak. On Sept.

The only bid received was made by Lawyer Auerbach, the Ann of Lowery, Btone Auerbach, of which bad been acting for the syndicate tnrougbout tbe negotiations tbatled to tbe pur chose of the terry company's stock. Mr. Auerbach would not say in whose behalf ho bad maae the purchase.

His bil was (or 13.200,000, a sum which greatly nonplussed outsiders, who did believe the property to be worth much, if any, more than $3 000,000. It set tbe old stockholders thinking, but what tbe Syndicate meant by tbe more was, to $sto majority of them, caviare to tbe general.11 I be motive came out to-day when ft became known tbat the Union Ferry Com pany bai incorporated a new company yesterday in Albany, under the name ot the Union FerryComDeuyof NewYorkand Brooklyn, with a capital of 000,000 Tbe capital of tbe old company was 000. The amouuo puid by the Hollins syndicate to secure control of tbe company was about $2,030 000. William H. Male, the president of tbe company, was seen this morning at hiSv office in jsw Yori.

He did not know tbe names of the incorporators, who also form the new Board of Directors, and sent for a hst of them. They are George W. Qu into rd, George M. Gardener, Chari- M.Enghs, Elward A McAlpin, Lorin M. Palmer, John E.

Mr. Quiotard is President of the Qiintard Iron Went, and ts interested, I believe, in a coastwise steamship company. He is familiar witn navigation and its needs, and his counsel will prove of value to the oompanv. Mr. Englis is a sou of John M.

Englis, tbe termer well-knowu ship-builder of Greenpomt. Mr. McAipm is a tobacco manufacturer, and Mr. Pdlraer is tbe proprietor of large cooperage business in Brooklyn. The other gentlemen are all well knowu in flnan-fiial circles, and make up as strong a board as OouM well be brought together The property, said Mr.

Male, was sold for at auction, and the new owners decided to capitalize the company Who offered the assets for sale at auction the reporterdnquired. Tbe Union Ferry Company offered the as sets for sale, and the new company was the purchaser. 'Ibe Hollins syndicate retains its interest. The property is a very valuable one. The syndicate thought tbat it must be wbeu they paid for it.

The syndicate considers tbat it bas made a very good bargain. The old company valued the prooerty at much less than it was worth. The gentlemen then In control wouM pay, say, 1 13.5,000 (or a boat and then remte it at ooly about one-balf of ite oost in the assets, crediting the rest to ooo rating expenses. The smallnes of tbe last dividend may be attributed to many tnmgs. New boats were being built and many improvements bad been made in tne ferry boas.

Money was set aside to meet these expenses. Since we took control business bas Increased. We are making 100 more trips a day than the old company did.

Tbe signatures requested were for candidates for Sheriff, I Auditor, Controller, Cougressmaa for Fifth district and an As-emblymaa for tbe Eighth district.

The announcement was ro-I ceived with distrust, many re framing to aign and others leaving the building. Georjte Scott, wbo acted as chairman, I pleaded and begged, but to no purpose, and finally save op in disgust and ai. massed the meeting. OBITDART.

HU Public Utterance Places Him In the Front Rank Courtney Still Laboring 'With Blight anil Main Kerrigans Name The Democratic primaries of yesterday went as usual to the regulars.

Such contests as were had dwelt principally upon local Ideas. The larger issues are in precisely the same condition as before the primaries, except that the delegates have been elected. Th main. Important and all-absorbing conversation of Democratic circle this morning was: Is the public dclara-tion of Justice Thomas J. K.enna that he is a candidate for Sheriff a notice to the effect that the convention shall nominate him? It seems to be so received, and this was the full understanding of one of the Democratic candidates for the same office, who fools that his hair is shorn nnd hi strength taken away, and that further efforts on his part are futile.

One more thing the Democratic workers look on as Mguificant. The Judge has sud-(lenly taken carringo and is hurrying from ward to ward rapidly. Many of the, Eastern District wards were visited by him last uiclit. The friends of the Judge are jubilant this mnminft. and guarantee to curry the bright, energetic nuitnstrate into the office hv a large majority.

It is felt by the party men that the loyal work done for the Democratic pnrtyby Tom Kenna," as he is familiarly called, deserves the handsomest class of recognition. Speaking of the ex-oandldate lust referred to, and in review of the situation, he said: 1 think that the Judge has received notice from the party managers that his name has been fully settled upon and that he must now set out and secure the necessary delegations. Of course this is to secure him a good send-off in the convention. lie wall have the Twenty-third ward delegation now without effort, and it shelves Kutan's aspirations. Will Rutah receive the nomination for City Auditor- if the Twenty-third ward captures the Shrievalty nomination Rutan himself thinks eo and that it will make no difference in regard to his chances.

In the meantime what of the other candidates who have labored so long nnd earnestly in tlie endeavor to secure dele- fationsV Justice John Courtney lias not ud down, his arms, and will continue his battle clear to the convention doors. Radically the fight lies lietwecn Kenna and Courtney, aud the latter is assumed to have the rmitent numtier of delegates pledged in ids behalf. Rut while he believes he can carry the convention, he says, aioo, that if he is beaten there that ne will give his hearty support to the cauidnte nomlnateL Then from the interior circh's come whiqetrs of deep-laid schemes of political manipulation that beat the Dutch. and the whimpers are disturbing the Lends of the Democrats who are Interested, in the principal Iiemocratle candt-dates Should the device be carried out it will lift Thomas A Kerrigan into the highest prominence and make him the standard-bearer for Sheriff. One of the shrewdest observers of Democratic polities in the county observed this afternoon: There Is eonxidernhlc behind this coming out of Kenna.

and I trill tell you hor Kerrigan is going to will to-mor- row. WYCKOFF HEIGHTS. TheMnyr Receives a Cavnalttca la Behalf Better Bcheel Facilities fer That Hr cl lee. Mrenrs.

Woodruff and Fischer.

They are la Favor of Selecting Either Col. Michell or Edward Schleuter Opposition to Mr. Kurths Benomi-natlon in the Twelfth Assembly District. Nineteen out of the twenty-six wards of the city were represented at a Republican caucus called for last by Franklin "Woodruff, Chairman of the Republican General Committee, and Israel Fischer, Chairman of the Executive Committee. Tbe call was sent out Saturday evening to the leaders of the vari- 0U3 wards identified witb tbe majority of the General Committee, and those who did not respond sent letters stating that previous engagements prevented their attendance, but that they would Ibe in accord with such action as the caucu might take.

The chief reason of the cau-cus was to decide upon what action should be taken upon the question of the nominee for Sheriff in the coming There are now three active candidates in the field, 'William J. Kramer, Edward Schleuter and Col. Harry Michell. These names were all discussed at length In the caucus. The Nineteenth ward will certainly give Mr.

Kramer at least a complimentary vote on the first ballot, and it is known that personal friends throughout the city on various connty delegations will vote for him, but Messrs. Woodruff and Fischer and most of those summoned by them to last night's caucus expressed themselves as opposed to Mr. Kramer's nomination. The Eleventh ward will support Warden Brymer on the first ballot Its further support will depend on Mr. Brymer himself.

The men whose claims were most favorably considered by the W'oodruff-Flscher caucus were Col. Harry MicheU, of the Twenty-fifth ward, formerly of the Twenty-third ward, and Ed. of he Eastern District. Both had friends in the caucus who advocated each man's claims with great vigor. An informal ballot indicated that Col.

Michell was the favorite in the caucus, hut no decided action was taken. It was left to a sub-committee to see the candidates and to ascertain what they thought of one or the other withdrawing and thus permitting a concentration of strength. The caucus, however, decided that it would eventually either support Michell or Schleuter. The can cus will meet again in a day or two. An Interesting Question that has been dicuRaed in Republican politics the past few dnvs is what attitude the Twelfth Assembly district would take on the question of the Assembly nominee.

John i. McKane, it Is well known, lias desired the renominntion of Assemblyman Kurth and has been devoting all his energies in that direction. So far as the district Is concerned the votes of the Twenty-fifth anti the Twenty-sixth wards decide who shall lie nominated. These two delegations are. it is said, opposed to Mr.

Kurth and in favor of ex-Judgo Watson. Mr. McKane does not like this attitude, and tills morning ho said that if ex-Judge Watson were nominated he would run an independent candidate. He is satisfied that Kurth could win. and he lias Infoimed Mr.

Fischer that Watson cannot. COMMANDER SUMNERS ORDERS. HIs Detail ts the Navy Yard Equipment Di portmenl Dives Rise to Many Katnora.

In the construction of the Green STenue relief sewer, several shafts wll be sank on Greene avenue, as now contemolated, in the centre of that thorougbfore. If this course is pursued, it will compel the Brooklyn City Railroad Company to make detour, beginning at Greene and Franklin avenues and arranging to ran on that route to Fulton street or on tbe Franklin avenue route to tlie DeKalb avenua car tracks, and tbsoce down into tbe city, not meeting their own lines until they reached the June tion of DeKalb avenue and Fulton street.

Either of tbese plans would subject tbe City Railroad Company to large expanse aud loss aod its patrons on and near Greene avenue to mucb inconvenience. Iu view of tbese faces President Lewis, of the City Railroad Company, called oo the Mayor and City Works Commissioner Adams to-day to present the situation and to suggest that tbe air-shafts be sunk a little out of Greene aveoueonide streets.

STOLEN. Mysterious Disappearance of Sunday School Collection. A Case That Is Exciting the Attention of the Members of the Throop Avenue Presbyterian Church Wearing Apparel Not Wanted by the Thief The members of the Throop Avenue Pres-by tenon Church Sun Jay school general, and the treasurer, Walter A. Brady, in particular, are much exercised over the mysterious disappearance of last Sundays collection. It is customary after the devotional exercises of the school, every Sunday afternoon, to take uo ft collection, and on last Sabbath there was no deviation from the rule.

The money, amounting to a figure in the neighborhood of $50, was turned over to Treasurer Brady. He wraDped tbe miscellaneous contributions of bills. silver, nickels ami pennies in a newspaper and placed them in rear pew in which his bat, cane and gloves also reposed. No -strangers were noticed in cburch at tbe time, and most of tbe pupils had departed, ouly a (ew scattering groups of loiterers being present. In an adjoining anteroom a teachers meeting was lu session.

Mr. Brady stepped in there for a few moments, and on bis return fei9 closest seal oh failed to discover the whereabouts of the finances, although bis bat, cane and gloves had not beeh molested. The disappeaaance of tbe collactiou bas cast a gloom over the school, augmented jn no degree because of tbe fact tbat no strangers were sen about tbe place, and the infutilicy of all -efforts thus far made to locate suspicion.

Shortly before 10 oclock last evening tbe pedestrians in the neighborhood of th Bridge entrance ou Sands street were startled by loud explosion on tbe Brooklyo-Umon Elevated, at the comer of Sands and Adams Educational Masters.

At the Board of Education meeting, which takes place at 4 oclock to-day, the residents of Wyckoff Heights will present a petition eipoot to do even better than tins but then, of I asking for the erection of a new school in that coaie, know our boats are frequently da- neighborhood, which they consider leeks layed by capricious winds and by passing com- 1 meroe. We are making Improvements and are now erecting covered ways from tbe Fulton Ferry bouse to both of the roads. It is oot true that we are cheapening tbe service. This company believes in giving its patrons the best accommodations, clean boats and rapid serv ioa. To increase the tariff we would have to make au arrangement with New York, aod that wb have not thought of dome as yet.

But isnt one cent a ridiculously low price to charge, and especially on such a lone Hue as tbe Hamilton Ferry! Walter N. DeGrauw, one of the old di rectors, when spoken to this morning about the pew move of tbe syndicate, said: I dont see how they expect to pay five per cent, on $2,000,000 of bonds and declare a dividend on tbe remaining million.
