KATE TOLD A SIMILAR STORY JUST BEFORE SHE piED IN THE "HOSPITAL FROM THE EFFECTS OF I THE CARBOLIC ACljD SHE DRANK 1. 'NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE MORRISON SUICIDE' There were startling (developments in the' Kate Morrison suicide caee this morning. If the story that lite. Charles Tobias tells is true, perhaps Miss Morrison was forced to take ithe carbolie acid that she drank in front Qf the Eastern District Hospital last Sunday evening, and from the effects of which ehe died the nest morning. I It will be rememberedl that at the time Miss' Morrison drank the poison she was walking along South Third street in company; with Charles a young variety actor, who unill recently lived with his parents at 91 Elleryj street.

Before the woman, died she told the surgeons at 'the'" hospitalj that Tobias bought the poison for her. and "asked her to take it. Tobias, when told what; the woman said, remarked that she must have been out of her head when she' made that statement. Tobias explained' to the police that he. lived with the woman inia furnished room at 296 Berry street.

He admitted that he-was not married to Kate," but said he in tended to- marry her as isoon as he could secure the proper separation papers from his first wife. Tobias said that he first became acquainted with Kate in 'Madison street. New York, and that he had raised her moral standard since he knew her. TobiaVwas held, however, as' a witness for the Coroner. j' This Mrs.

Charles the actor's: wife," palled at the Fifth precinct' police station and said she would like to see Coroner Creamer. "I certainly believe that Tobias, my husband, bought the poison for Kate Morrison," said Mrs. Tobias to Sergeant Black. often bought poison for me and Insisted that I should take it. I always refused and finally I decided to leave him, believing that he would me." Mrs.

Tobias was toltti how she might possibly find Coroner creamer, and she left the. station house search of that official. The body of Kate Morrison was reniov-cd from the hospital morgue to her brother's home, at 49 Rutgers street. New York, thl3 morning, where the (funeral was held this afternoon.

Mayor'Schleren's friends In this city of Brooklyn are doomed to be most terlously i disappointed. For some time past, notwithstanding' his frequent assertions to the contrary, there has been a freely expressed hope that the Mayor could so adjust iis affairs as to be induced to accept a renomination If It was tendered him. That hope Is ended! i Mayor Schieren will not accept a re- 'J I i nomination under circumstances. He emphatically, absolutely and Irrevoc ably declines honors.

any further political A representative pf The Standard Union saw Mayor Schieren early this morning. pThe Mayor Is certainly In poor health, as 1 a result of his recent trip South. He i Shows plainly that he Is 111, and has- the i appearance of a man who is slowly re- 1 covering from a period of- severe sickness. i After some preliminary talk, the Standard Union man said; you nave "Mr. Schieren, while some political enemies, you also have an army of friends.

and many of those friends think you should give to them some positive Indication of your precise 1 position regarding a renomination." i "1 have already done so," quietly replied i Mayor Schieren. position In this matter has been consistent and unchanged from the very first under no -clrcum- i stances can accept a renomination. "If this disappoints or displeases any one, 1 am very sorry for It; but for business reasons. If I had no others, it would be ''i impossible for me to serve Mayor i i after my present term expires." "Would It make any 'difference, Mr. i Schieren, as to the heartiness or unanlm- ity with which tendered a renomination might be "None whatever," said the Mayor.

Then, after a few seconds thought, he continued: "I have been as emphatic about this matter as seemed to be neces sary. I could not4 of course, violently re- i fuse something that has never bean ten- dered to me, but I have always tried, when being Interviewed by the press or In talking to my friends upon the sub-ject, to make It clear that with one term. my official career must end. This has been my decision, wholly regard to what the politicians may have to say r-' t. In the matter.

That Is entirely another i affair. If they were all for mel should still have to decline." "Then the question as dacy may be considered tied?" "Settled absolutely!" to your candi-posltlvely set-responded the The following statement was given out to the press generally this afternoon. "In answer to many and urgent- daily made, that I would again be a candidate for the Mayoralty, I now repeat what I have already several times said, that I will not under any circumstances whatever accept a renomination! For nearly two years my official work has been occupying practically my whole time and thought. How much labor the business administration of the office of Mayor of Brooklyn Involves can only be realized by one in daily contact with Its affairs, and I have never given to my own business closer or more coifctant attention than has been gTveTi to the duties of my office since I have held it.

Gott, Nolan and Mur phy were Commissioners a great amount of the county's money was used in paying 'wages mechanics who had never earn ed them. Chairman Frank F. Sdhulz, of the Assembly Committee oh Citlies, pre sided at the session, which was held in Part 2 'Of the Circuit Court. Assembly men Whitlet and Cole -of the committee. were present.

'Mr. McCanna resumed the witness chair with a cheerful look upon his. ruddy countenance and Counselor Hirsh began the second days' examination of the witness with more questions as to the discrepancies between the time credited to mechanics in the time book, and the time paid for, as shown by the payrells. He kept McCanna busy with the. time book and, the rolls.

In the month of January, 1892, as rhown by the testimony; -while a number of men were paid for more time than they worked, several of them were not credited With any time, in the. time book, but drew pay for' twenty-six days. These were Joseph AUenbrand, Matthew Martin and L. Xin ney. Other men got pay for a number of days on; which they appear to have done no work.

Among these was the $much- favored Leonard Tracy," who worked, three days, and was paid for twenty-six days. In some of the cases the men- were record ed in the time book 4 "sick." Others were marked This," Mr. Mc Canna explained, signified that the Commissioners had excused theni. -Mr. Hirsh called McCanna's attention to the fact that'thg sickness of mechanics in the month of January, 1892.

Hirsh he appeared on the.paiyroll Witness admitted that this might be so. False names' had been giveVi! Witness admitted further that it was posible for one man to draw two salaries In this way.j Sickness of mechanics cost the 'county 140 for unearned wages in May 1892. William Simpson was again among the benefticiarles to the tune of twenty-six days'-pay for doing nothing. i -3 McCanna could not tell how it was that for eleven nJonths out of twelve Simpson did no work, but drew full He could not tell what the man's ailment was. Simpson was a painter.

McCanna threw the responsibility upon the Commissioners, June and the following months, through the year 1892 showed a condition of thin js similar-to that shown in, the preceding months. The cost to the county Involved in the payment of unearned wages was shown tj be $243 In June, $159 in July. $292 in; August, $175 in i Sep tember, $185 in October. 5138.75 in November, and $209 in December. The total, for the year was $2,827.50.

One cfj the suggestive things about the revelations made in the testimony was the frequent recurrence of certain names on the sick list, and the long duration of the sick spells with which their owners were favored. William Simpson, Leonard Tracy, Tlrri Flaherty, Charles Fischer McGuih-ness and one or two others appeared to be especially fortunate in the matter of alleged misfortune. In September, 1892, Leonard Tracy was known been- absent at the Cor-betNSulllvan. prize-fight, and must have been gone at least eight On the time book he had been credited, with these days originally, but the straight marks, indicating his" presence, wera subsequently-altered into bad-looking "noughts," for-slxJ of the days.

The weather utsl.de La simply perfect. -What the atmosphere of the convention may be in a few hours no one can foretell. The position assumed by Tammany against any recognition of the Crace-Falrchild Democracy may precipitate a battle on the floor such as- has not been seen In many a day. A number of the fighters are already doubling up their fists In anticipation of the row. between Hill and Flower, on the outside, and Murphy, Sheehan and the crowd on the other.

Almost any movement.ln the convention may open the battle. The cooler-headed fellows are trying to calm the more excitable ones. It has been decided that Col. James D. Bell shall nominate Gen.

Horatio C. King for Secretary of State. The reason of the silence of the JCIngs CojJJHTrtCTWaTT the General haseen discovered In the statement that he did not canvass among them as to his candidacy. That seems to have been smoothed over, and the-regiilars and Independents will act' together In his behalf. Among the matters that havesbeen discussed here In the Shepard Democratic ranks Is the putting to the front of J.

Warren Greene for Justice of the Supreme Court. Ex-Mayor Pat Gleason. Assemblyman Rabinsonnd the battl-axers of Long Island City 'are bound off on an early train, thoroughly disgusted. There seems to be but little knowledge of the plate. It no absolute form.

Those close to the leaders say there Is none. That may or may not be so. They are wise In not giving it out at too early an hour, with the portents of a fight hovering over the convention. Any known slate might be, smashed. As it appears at this early hour of the fey, the ticket is likely to be For Secretary of State, Horatio C.

King; for Attorney-General, Daniel G. Griffin; for State Treasurer, Jtohn B. Judson; for State Controller, Norton B. Chase or August F. Scheu; for State Engineer and Surveyor, Russell P.

-Stuart; For, Judge of the Court of Alton B. Parker. This slate is founded simply upon expressed sentiment. It will depend largely upon who gets control of the convention as' to whether it will go through. Surface indications are that Hill has his bands on lever and throttle valve, and is running the engine against all rebellious elements.

Xt 10 o'clock the State Democracy sent out its ultimatum. It rejects the proposition of one-fifth representation, and will present resolutions of protest to that effect. As the State Committee adopted the one-fifth scheme, the convention may stand by them. The Saratoga scene of a grand march down the centre alsZe may ato repeated. Charles J.

Patterson, of Brooklyn, has a resolution prepared demanding one-third representation of the Grace-Fair-child men, and he will on it In hU resonant tones, charged up. to the brinv with lashing for Tammany. This means a Joining of hands by the New York County Democracy and the Shepard men, and as the latter now have rights upon the floor, they can say some bitter things. The convention adjourned yesterday to 10 o'clock this morning, but it did not gather on time. There were too many caucuses In operation to prevent the dele-.

gates from keeping the hours. In the' mean time the very excellent band of Syracuse musicians kept up the spirits of those who had congregated. It tended to mollify the adjectives of those who had made arrangements for early trains and saw their prospects dimming and time flitting away. While the music was wafting its sweet sounds over the audience, the latter was indulging In remarks about how impressive the Grace-Falrchild demonstration. would be when they walked out, a matter now determined upon and to occur durinj? the day.

The caucus of Kings County regulars agreed upon the following men for the State Committee: John J. Walsh, Dr. Maxtlold. Jcfiin J. P.

Fagan, John W. Weber, Thomas F. Wagner, and the following Shepardites: S. Perry Sturges and A. Augustus Healy.

McKELWAY He Says There Was No Conference Concerning Mfr Henfe' PAUL DE FERE FOR COUNTY JUDGE. DISTRICT ASSOCIATIONS IN THE TWENTY-FOURTH WARD ENDORSE HT3 CANDIDACY TWENTY-FIFTH WARD REPUBLICANS SELECT REPRESENTATIVES SIMILAR ACTION BY OTHER DISTRICTS CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE ENDORSED REPUBLICAN STATE! COMMITTEE ITEMS OF POLITICAL INTEREST. 0 In view of Mayar Schleren's positive de clination to accept a renomination, local politicians are taking considerable inter est In the conference of Republican lead ers which is to take place this evening at the rooms of the Brooklyn Republican Club, 146 Plerrepont street. There are many viho believe that one result of the conference will be to place a candidate tor the Mayoralty nomination. Speaking of this to-day a well-known Republican, who ha3 received an invitation to attend the conference, said: "If any attempt is made to endorse the candidacy of any man for Mayor it will meet with decided opposition.

If Republicans are to meet for the purpose of endorsing the State ticket and platform, discussing the party situation and the question candidates in this county in a general way, all well and good. But should it develop that the conference was called in the interest of any man. the scheme will fail, or, if it goes through, will be of no effect, for there are many men that will be present to-night' who are not in favor of such action, and who will not take part in the proceedings if art attempt la made to anticipate the action of the Republican City Convention. "Under the present system of direct district reprcsentationjn all nominating the people have it in their power to select their own candidates. Let the nominations be made In open convention, and the man who receives a majority of the votes cast will win.

I for one am against any schemeta. force a candidate upon Republicans, through an endorsement by any gathering of Individuals." Franklin Woodruff, president of the Brooklyn Republican Club, who called the conference. Is quoted as favoring the nomination of City Works 'Commissioner Alfred T. W'hite for Mayor. In reference to this, the Republican quoted above said: "I must say that Mr.

White has made a splendid official, so fari as work accomplished goes, in the department of which he is at the head, but I do not think he is a man whom partisan Republicans would be likely to select as a candidate." A. DENIAL FROM MR. M'KELWAY. A representative of The Standard Union saw St. Clair McKelway, the editor of the Brooklyn "Eagle," at his office this morning, and agked him about the story concerning himself, James D.

Bell and Bernard J. York, which appeared in the news columns of the Brooklyn "Daily Times" of When asked if the report in the "Times" was correct, Mr. McKelway said: jffi "It is entirely incorrect. No such conference ever occurred. I am pleasanciy acquainted with Mr.

Bell and intimately know Mr. York. I never, however, saw the two men together in my life, and I never discussed with either of 'them the question of the Mayoralty, or the name of Mr. Hentz or of any other citizen of Brooyn with reference to that office. No conferences have been held in my office on that subjet, and I have attended none on that subject anywhere eise.

My desire to find out whom the Democrats cr Republicans will or possibly- may noml nate for Mayor is a newspaperman's desire altogether, and, if I could find out such a fact I would put it in-the ''Eagle" at once, unless Imparted to me In confidence. Permit me tigo one step further. I would not receive siny such news in confidence, because as a newspaper man my obligation-to give the public the news In which they are interested would be para-, mount. "Permit me to say that do not be lieve the Brooklyn 'Times' printed nn absolutely incorrect story, as It did last night, without thinking that It was true. Doubtless its reporter thought the story was truef I would acquit both of any design to misstate or misrepresent men or matters In the least.

But some body, who may himself have been fooled, certainly misinformed the reporter and the reporter In good fnlth misinformed his newspaper. I would be very glad to say these words to the Times' itself, but the interest or confidence of that paper In it" Wn this nrnr-'ni ha Tot been sufficient to lead it to seek any information from me to confirm It. I should have regretfully to tell the 'Times' people, that I could not confirm It. DE FERE FOR pOL'N'TY JUDGE. The candidacy of Paul E.

Fere for the Republican nomination for CountjrJ Judge Is daily increasing in strength. Mr. De.Fere, who Is a member pf. the law firm of Grout. De Fere M3yer.
