TAYLOR IS NAMED BY ACCLAMATION. The Kentucky Republican State Convention Turns Out to be a Love Feast. MAY YET BE IDENTIFIED. BODY OF DISMEMBERED MAN TO BE DISINTERRED. The Health Department this afternoon granted Mrs.

Charlotte Luneberg, of 404 East Fifty-fourth street, Manhattan, permission to have disinterred the remains of dismembered body of the man who was found floating in the water off Bay Ridge on June 12. She believes she can positively identify him as her husband, Fred-erick Luneberg. The womay told the police that her husband was employed on a lighter about the time the body was discovered, and that she did not know then he was missing, for it was not unusual for him to remain away from home for several days at a time, or even as much as a week. Mrs. Luneberg admits that she viewed the body when it was in the Morgue, but she did not believe at the time that her husband was elsewhere than on the vessel.

Since then he has not put in his appearance, so she wants to again look at the remains. WITH FILIPINOS. Brushes With the Insurgents Along aguna de Bay and About Balinag. THE ENEMYS LOSS WAS HEAVY. Two Americans Wounded Shell ing By the Napidan.

MANILA, July 13. The Fourth Cavalry -has been having more brushes with insurgents along Laguna de Bay, aided by the gunboat Napidan. On Tuesday another attack was made on the insurgents at Muntilupa on the west shore, where a squadron of the Fourth was landed recently. rebels had returned and entrenched themselves. The Napidan shelled the trenches and a hundred of the cavalry, three troops of whom are doing patrol duty on the lake with Napidan, were landed and chased the insurgents inland.

The latter made a sharp resistance when they reached the hills, and the small force of cavalrymen retired. The Americans had two wounded. The enemy's loss was heavy. Sharp fightincr between the Insurgents and cavalry, under Lieut. Babcock, is also reported about Balinag.

A large force of insurgents is active near San OdlefGnso. WASHINGTPN, July 13. Capt. Leary, the Governoi of Guam, notified the Navy Department this morning that he was leaving Singapore for Manila. He is expected to reach Guam about the 20th inst, and within ten days thereafter the Solace is due to join him there, having left San Francisco July 1, having aboard the wives and families of the officers who will form the American colony of the new possession.

The gunboat Eagle, engaged in surveying the Cuban coast line, reached Gibara to-day, and the Enterprise sailed from Fort Monroe for New York. The battleship Iowa came out of dry dock at the Puget Sound naval station yesterday, her repairs having been corny pleted. She will proceed to San Francisco next week. The Para will leave San Francisco today with the Twenty-fifth Infantry and reemits for Manila. a BENNETT HAS ALIASES.

Arrested at Coney Island and Held For Passing Worthless Checks. PRISONER. DENIES HIS GUILT. Said to Be The Son of a ington Judge. Wash- William H.

Bennett, the supposed son of a Washington, D. magistrate, waived examination in the Coney Island police court, this morning, to five charges of petty larceny based on the passing of alleged worthless checks, and was held to answer before Special Sessions. The prisoner was represented by counsel. His arrest was caused by Frederick G. Andrews, a Brooklyn hotel keeper, who accuses him of drawing on him through a check issued on the First National Bank of Hoboken, N.

and signed by William Gall, a well-known resident of that place. The prisoners bond was continued at $1,000. He is a self-possessed character. He carries a large roll of hills and wears considerable jewelry. This morning a Manhattan business man came forward and made an additional charge against him.

He declared that Bennett had obtained $30 from him by means of a worthless check. Several local business nen of prominence are also alleged victims. tl is said the police of Manhattan know Bennett by several aliases. At the Brooklyn Central Office, Capt. Reynolds said to-day that since the mans arrest no attempt had been made to bring him under the scrutiny of his office, consequently he had not gained the oppor- tunity of an interview with him and was ignorant of his record.

The prisoner, it appears, was hustled over to Manhattan, and it is doubtful if Capt. Reynolds or Deputy Chief Mackellar will get the desired chance at him until there is nothing left for them to do. LAST DAY AT NEWMARKET. SLOAN WINS MIDSUMMER STAKED FOR LORILLARD. NEWMARKET, July 13.

To-day wag the third and last day of the Second July Meeting. Sloan carried off the Midsummer stakes of 500 sovereigns on Pierre Lorillards Dominie beating Lord Dunraven's Morgante, ridden by Madden.

FROM A POLE AND TERRIBLY CRUSHED. Gus Hannan, 49 years old, of 149 Forsyth street, Manhattan, employed by the Edison Electric Illuminating Company, was this morning repairing some electric light wires. He went up a pole at Atlantic and Grand avenue, and was working away at the wires when he 'was seen to fall to the ground. When the body was picked up it was seen that the skull had been frightfully smashed. A closer examination of the body showed that the right hand was 'badly burned, and it is a question whether he was killed by the fall or got hold of a live wire and was killed by the shock before the body reached the ground.

FELL SKULL THE GUATEMALA CRISIS. NO AMERICAN WARSHIP TO BE SENT UNLESS ASKED FOR. WASHINGTON, July 13. Minister Hunter has made no call upon the Government for the dispatching of a warship to Guatemala because of impending revolution, and no warship will le sent, it is announced at both the State and Navy departments, until such a call shall be made. The story of an American pro- tfctorate over Guatemala is pronounced as absurd.

NEW EAST RIVER Board of Estimate Appropriates Four Millions More to Its Construction. TO BE READY FOR USE IN 1902. Other Large Sums of Money Were Voted To-day. The Board of Estimate and Apportionment at a meeting held in Mayor Van Wycks office this noon authorized Con troller Coler to Issue $4,000,000 corporate stock of the city for the new East River Bridge, now building. Of this sum, $2,750, 000 is for the cables, wrappings and suspenders and for the approaches, and to pay the awards for land condemned on both sides of the river, as that land is needed.

Lewis Nixon, president of the new East River Bridge Commission, appeared to urge the necessity for the immediate appropriation of the money. In answer to a question from Mayor Van Wyck, Mr. Nixon said: The bridge will be finished in two and a half years. Mayor Van Wyck was pleased. He has frequently declared that it would be finished before he left the Mayors chair.

You shall have the money, he told Mr. Nixon. Then he moved that the matter be referred to the Controller. Before the meeting adjourned the Con troller was ready to report. His report was that the $4,000,000 should be appro priated, and the report was unanimously adopted by the passage of a resolution authorizing the money.

Mr. Nixon, before leaving, said: I mean the bridge will be all completed by Dec. 31. 1901; that it will be opened for traffic by then. It will cost in all less than $10,000,000." It was resolved to transfer $25,000, an unexpended balance, appropriated for work to be done in Department of hewers by public letting to the maintenance and repairs account In Brooklyn.

The same course was taken ith a $10,000 balance in Queens. A letter was read from Police Capt. Sheehan, asking for $1,040 to reimburse him for the cost of defending himself in a trial before the Poliec Board, where ho was acquitted. It was referred to the Corporation Counsel. It was resolved to permit- the transfer of $2,000 from the account of the Special Commissioner of Jurors to the Kings County Jail.

The application of City Clerk Scully and two assistants for $10 per day during the time it took them to count the soldiers vote, was denied. Mr. Scully, according to the Corporation Counsel, was not entitled to any extra pay. The others got $5 per day. -The excise moneys were disposed of to the various charities.

The widening of Grand street, "in the Eastern District, came up. and a. bond issue of over $70,000 was authorized to pay the cost. Twenty-two thousand dollars was appropriated to put heating apparatus in Public School No. 84, in this borough.

An application for $200,000 for an addition to the building occupied by the Central Board of Education, was referred to the president of the Council. An application from the Department of Buildings in Brooklyn for an additional appropriation was referred to the Controller. Mayor Van Wyck introduced a resolution that the plans for the interior of the new Hall of Records should be modified to cost not more than $1,500,000, instead of $2,500,000, as originally proposed. He denounced the original proposition as grossly extravagant. Architect Thomas contended that the rooms were all plain, and that it would take two years to draw new' plans, etc.

Well, we will get another architect, then, said his Honor. The Controller said there was no necessity for a Grand Opera House. The entire building and land would cost $10,000,000. We will start a building to accommodate all the city offices before I leave here, said the Mayor. The Mayor's resolution was adopted, TO F.

Enthusiastic Twenty-second Ward Republicans Gathered at His Home. HIS WARD SOLID FOR HIM. The Lieutenant-Governor Stands By Dady and Frost. Over sixty of the representative Republicans of the Twenty-second ward met for a confidential talk at the home of Timothy L. Woodruff.

70 Eighth avenue, last night lit response to a per1 Bonal invitation from the who wished to know whether there was any opposition to him ip his own neighborhood and ward. Invitations numbering over a hundred were sent out. and in spite of the rain all of the thirty districts save two were reprereniVd at the meeting, it is said that there were five present from the Prendergast district. When the guests were assembled Mr. Woodruff stated that he had called the meeting to determine just what opposition there was to him in the ward.

He said that he had been handicapped in being awayfor some time past, and the only source of information he had was through the newspapers. The Lieutenant-Governor stated that in issuing the invitations he had sent for many Republicans whose preferences he did not know as well as his known friends, and had only omitted to send for three-or four whom he knew to be absolutely hostile to his interests. Themeeting was an informal one, and resulted in the organization of an informal Woodruff Association, with the Hon. Silas B. Dutcher as chairman and Judge Bristow as secretary.

The feeling of the ward was sounded by calling upon the members from the different districts to tell of what opposition, if any, appeared in their neighborhood. In some instances three or four speakers from the same district were heard, and in nearly every case it was stated that there was no ganized opposition to the Lieutenant-Governor. Where there was it was said to be so slight as to hardly warrant comment. -Mr. Dutcher spoke in strong eulogy of Woodruff.

He said thpt he had known the Governors anl Lieutenant-Govero-- ora of New York State fifty years, but in no, case had one of them served his constituency and the people of the State so faithfully as had the present incumbent The applause that greeted Mr. Dutcher' words showed plainly that those present were enthusiastically solid for Mr. "Woodruff and it -was staled with confidence that the ward was also. In his remarks last night Lieut. -Gov.

Woodruff set himself solidly in favor of maintaining the 'organization as it now 6tands. He spoke highly of the executive ability of Michael J. Dady, and gave instances in the campaign of last fall, when Theodore Roosevelt was to speak in ten or a dozen places in Brooklyn, of the ability with which chairman of the Executive Committee arranged the appointments so that in no instance did the Governor when a candidate fail to be at his appointment at the right time. Mr. Woodruff also gave his unqualified approval of Jesse Frost, and Mr.

Dutcher seconded the Lieutenant-Governor's words. Before the adjournment of the meeting. Chairman Dutcher was authorized to select a committee of seven. This committee is to name a ticket of delegates to the County Committee to be voted for at the primaries of the Twelfth Assembly District It was understood that in the makeup of this ticket there should be harmony, and that if there was any slight factional dispute in the make-up of the district committees, it was not to be carried into the county ticket. M.

J. Dady has. his hands full these days with the suits against him in court as chairman of the Executive Committee and his Havana sewer contract. He is now waiting for the War Department to act on the order of the Attorney If this "order referring the matter to the Havana municipal authorities, is signed. Mr.

Dady will leave fon. Havana on Saturday nx t. Mr Dady expects that his affidavit and answer to the suits by ex-Sheriff Buttling and his friends will' be ready to-morrow. He is confident that he acted entirely within his authority as chairman, and expects no difficulty in disposing of claims of his opponents. To a Standard Union reporter this morning he quoted Section 12 of Chapter 909 of the Laws of 189S.

as amended in 1899, relating to the appointment and qualification of election officers in cities. It provides that not later than July 1 in each year lists of election officers shall be authenticated and filed by the chairman of -the Executive Committee of the County Committee of the party in the respective counties wholly or partly within such city as constituted by the Greater New York Charter. If more than one list be sumbitted in the name or on behalf of the same political party, only that list can be acepted which is authenticated by the proper officer or officers of the faction or section of such party which was recognized as regular by the last preceding State Convention, of such party. "1 have acted entirely Vvithin this provision in authenticating thcajppoint-ments, said Mr. Dady.

It was announced to-day by a Ninth 6 9 The Latter Is Characterized by Him as a Disturber and a Meddler. NO TROUBLE IS APPARENT. Denied That Trolley Employees Are Dissatisfied. Prpsjflpnfr Clinton L. Rossiter, of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, was seen to-day in regard to an interview published in one of the morning papers concerning the alleged trouble which existed among the employees of the road, anj he replied that he had made particular effort to ascertain If any cause for complaint existed among the employees.

and found with scarcely an exception that the men were contented, and had no grievances to present. As to the statement of Mr. Johnson, he said, he had been familiar with the fact that not only had Mr. Johnson given his check for a large sum to Mas-ter Workman James Pines, not an employee of either the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company or any portion of its system, but that Mr Johnson had also for the past two weeks been holding frequent conferences with General Master Workman Parsons and District Master Workman Pine3 and had invited certain employees of this company to meet him at his office. Mr.

Rossiter added: It will be remembered that the Messrs. Johnsons recently sold their interest in the control of the Nassau Company to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. In view of the conditions which existed among the men before the Johnsons sold their interest in the control of the Nassau property, Mr. Johnson's activity in other peoples affairs can hardly be attributed to his philanthropy, as a reference to the Detroit Press will show, and taken in connection with other attempts which have come to the knowledge of the company showing a determined effort to depress the price of the companys stock in Wall street. The purpose of the effort to produce dissatisfaction among our employeesis apparent, however discreditable it mar he to those connected with it.

I have said from the start that there was no general dissatisfaction among our employees, and the events have justified this hut it is particularly gratifying to know that the men themselves will now, recognize the selfish origin of the attempt to breed dissatisfaction in the interest of Wall street speculators. Mr. Rossiter stated that his attitude had been all along expressed in his repeated assurances of willingness to meet the employees of the company at any and all times, but that he would not, and could not, consistently treat with those outside of the employees, who never had a knowledge of the affairs of the property nor were familiar with the men individually. The officers have not believed at any time that the situation with regard to its employees has been any less pleasant during the last thirty days than at any other period during the last four years, and the management further recognizes that the employees are a part and parcel of its system, and that their welfare and interest are regarded more by the officers of the company than could possibly be the case with any outside organization or individuals. MANY LIVES LOST 4 Number of Vessels Wrecked During a Severe Storm On the West Coast.

THE STEAMER CASTLE SUNK. All On Board Lost Twelve of City of Yorks Crew Drowned. FREEMANTLE, West Australia, July 13.

YEAR REQUIRED TO REPAIR IT. Water Carried Away Portion of the Sand Backing. Drydock No. 2. at the Navy Yard, was partly undermined last night by the action of the rain and now stands in a condition where it may collapse at almost any moment.

The damage -to it is estimated at half a million dollars, and the necessary repairs cannot be completed inside of a year. At the entrance on the right side of the dock, the water stood over a foot deep during the progress of the storm. The water soaked through the pa ins stones and under the altar steps of the dock, loosening the gravel and sand backing of the dock and forcing it into the structure in great piles. The timbers of the dock are also badly sprung, some of them being from five to seven feet out place. This morning a big gang of laborers was put to work pulling up the paving stones and filling in tho backing of the dock so as to hold Civil Engineer Aftserson the Department of Docks and Yards, was at work on the accident early this morning, and made many surveys preparatory to putting the dock in shape.

Divers were also sent (Jown in the outside caisson to see the extent of the damage under the jurface oi the water. 'Tt mas not a simple rainstoim that we had last night, said Mr. Asserson, this morning, but a cloudburst, and it did a whole lot of damage. Dry Dock No. 2Jias been badly In need of repairs for the past two years, hut the necessity of getting ships ready in time for the war with Spain did not give the authorities a chance to pay any attention -to the needs of the dock, except as to those repairs which were absolutely necessary.

In fact, an inspection of the dock was made about two years ago, and the structure condemned, but the war made it obligatory upon the Government to use every possible means, of getting the ships ready for action at the earliest possible moment. Ieaks under the altar steps have been discovered at various times, but they have always been repaired. Last night's storm gave the underpinning a severe tussle for the supremacy. the storm winning the contest. The force of the wator must have been terrific, as the entire dry dock is covered with the gravel, stones and sands of the underpin nirg or backing, and the timbers show that some very powerful force had been at work.

The last ship to occupy the dry dock was the distilling ship Rainbow, which left the yard about a week ago. How much will it cost to repair the dock? asked a Standard Union reporter of Engineer Asserson. I can tell you better after it is finished, he replied. What was the tot'al amount of damage done? I should think about $300,000. How long will it take to repair the damage to the dock? We ought to have it done inside of a year.

2697 in the Rogues Gallery. The police of the Clymer street station are highl yelated ove rthe arrest yesterday of James Douglass, supposed to be a ery clever boarding house thief, who has been operating in Brooklyn for some time past. He was held in the Lee avenue po-ice court yesterday for further hearing on a charge of burglary preferred against him by Mrs. Mary Gorman, of 93 South Ninth street, and since that time no less than eight other boarding house keepers have come forward and identified Doug lass as the man who had robbed them. Detective Dolan is on the case, and this Mrs.

Sheehan, of 200 South Ninth street, who read of the capture in last evenings Standard Union, called upon him at the station house and said she was sure that Douglass was the man who had boarded with her for some time and then decamped witfr'whatever he uld con venientiy carry away. Besides this woman, four other boarding house keepers will look over rthe man. Two of these live on South Oxford street, one on DeKalb avenue, and one on Classon avenue. In looking up Douglass's record at Police Headquarters, Detective Dolan found an excellent photograph of him in the Rogues 'Gallery, numbered 2,697. On the back of this there was, as usual, a description printed, and as much of the history of the prisoner as was known.

He was arrested on March 14, 1898, by Patrolman Robert Rorke, of the Butler street station, and got nine months in the Penitentiary for burglary. His name in this case was James Maher. While Douglass was not visiting the various boarding houses in the city, the police say that he lived in the Kenmore lodging house, in Tillary street, and they are now on the lookout for a pal with whom he is supposed to have worked. Douglass's method of operating was to hire rooms in a fashionable boarding house, present himself as an electrician, and give references from the superintendent of some big concern, sue as of the power house of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. He would make friends with his fellow boarders, and always skipped before his rent was due, with as valuables as he could find.

A OF City Counsel Holds That Brooklyn Institute Goes to Waltons Charge. ISSUE OF $300,000 ASKED FOR. Trustees Want to Build Another Wing to Building.

The Corporation Counsel made the decision in a report to the Board of Estimate this morning on an application from the trustees of the Institute for $300,0000 to continue the work of construction of the new building. The application was read, together with Mr. Whalens report and decision, and ther referred to the Commissioner of Public Buildings, Lighting and Supplies. The application was accompanied by a resolution, which the trustees asked the Board to pass. The resolution provided for a bond issue for the amount asked for.

The Corporation Counsel, in his report, said that the building was a public building, and, as such, its erection should be under the direction of the Department of Public Buildings, Lighting and Supplies. He also said that the application from the committee for funds should he accompanied by specifications and plans. The application of the trustees was not in regular order and should not be granted. The application for the money was made some time ago and referred to the Controller, who said at the time that he would see that the trustees got the money The motion to refer to the Commissioner was carried unanimously.

Bernstein was a widow with several children, among whom was Morris Mahr, a' shoe dealer at 81 Ewen street, when she married the rabbi. Mahr was sett for and appeared to be greatly surprised at the condition of his mother and stepfather. He said he would have provided for them, notwithstanding that he had a wife and six children himself, had he known they were in want. Mahr promised to contribute $2 a week toward the support of the old couple, and all three left the court room together. BROOKLYN TRUST PRESIDENCY.

NO SELECTION HAS TET BEEN MADE ADVANCE IN THE STOCK. The advance in the price of Brooklyn Trust Company stock during the last few weeks has attracted attention and caused comment, especially during the past tew deys, when the price reached 415.

The names of Henry W. Maxwell and ex-Mayor Charles A.

Schieren have been mentioned as. the possible choice of the trustees for the office of president, the latter withalgood deal of positiveness.
