Merrifleld, of New Fane, was nominated for Speaker of the House at the Republican caucus last night, and 132 members pledged him their support. This Insures the organization to-day of the House by the regular Republicans, and in all probability makes certain the election of Gen. J. G. McCullough for Governor.

No known supporter of Clement attended the caucus, and nearly all those who pledged their support to Merrifleld may be counted as for McCullough. IS HOST OF JACKIES Enlisted. Men of the Indiana Will Be Entertained at Hotel Aftgyle. The counsel for the prisoner, In hi argument here, and In response to a question, stated that if the verdict had nqt been guilty the prisoner would have met a violent death on the instant. The prisoner must not only be tried according to the forms of law, these forms being Included In the expression, the laws of the land, but hts trial must be unattended by such Influences and such demonstrations of lawlessness and intimidation as were present on the former occasion.

The courts must stand for civilization, for the proper admlnls. tratlon of the law In orderly proceedings. There must be a new trial in this case.1 NEWLY APPOINTED LETTER carriers assigned. Assistant Postmaster Frank H. Newcomb, who la Acting Postmaster while Postmaster George H.

By Having Vulgar Devery Shut Out of the Saratoga Convention These Reformers' Preserve the Immaculate Fame of the Dear Hall Against Letting in' a Political Parvenue McLaughlin and McCarren Fly to the Rescue of Tammany Town Made Riotous Last Night by Braves, Deveryites and Trojans Liquor Stores Doing a Great Business Brooklynites Speak Before the Committee on Platform and Get a Cold Reception Radicals and Reformers Represented. CONEY BRIDGE FELL; POLICEMAN AVERTS DEATH Without Warning the Suspension Rods of the New West End Bridge Broke and the Draw Dropped Piecemeal Into the Water A Train Was Approaching at the Time and But for the Presence of Mind of Policeman Furnell in Flagging It a Great Tragedy Would Have Occurred. Tammany men fear the effect of Dev-erys political activity. Most of them favored his suppression here.

That is the reason he was beaten. MUCH DISOREDR IN THE STREETS. Last night was a red letter night for Saratoga. Broadway was jammed with delegates, most of whom came from New York County and Troy, "Deverys Demons, as some one called tjiem, were loose, and they proceeded to paint the town red their favorite color because "Big BUI had lost his fight to get in the convention. It has been a conspicuous fact that most of the drunken men wear badges Indicating that they are either from New York or Renssalear counties.

Up and down the streets In front of the big hotels paraded drunken men shouting and singing. Saratogo boys added to the din by yelling, while delegates from all parts of the State blew horns, and with other Instruments kept the town awake. The noise could be heard for blocks away. It was something like a reign of terror. There were a few fights, but not so mapy as the conditions warranted.

When the Democratic Convention met here two years ago the delegates were very orderly compared with what they have been the past two nights. It would be hardly fair to attribute In any great measure the disorder to Devery or his cohorts. They were prominent In whatever unseemly conduct there has been, but the Ta)nmany braves have not acted the part of the quiet and dignified delegate. The crowd outnumbers three to one the crowd that attended the Republican convention last week. The rum shops have done a most thriving business.

The fact Is, last weeks convention was dead compared with what this one is. There have been parades without number, and musical day and most all night long. The convention has drawn a great number of young men from surrounding towns, and those fellows have been far from orderly. TWO PLATFORMS FROM BROOKLYN. The Radicals and Reformers made a Strong bid yesterday afternoon to induce the Committee on Platform to embody some of their Ideas.

Robert Baker and Peter Altken, on behalf of the Radical Democracy, appeared before the Platform Committee and presented a set of resolutions recently adopted by. the club. Both of them made speeches. Fred W. Hlnrlchs and Daniel Moynahan laid before the committee resolutions passed a few days ago by the Brooklyn Democratic Club.

They, too, made speeches. Senator Thomas Grady, the chairman, and Lewis Nixon plainly showed that they did not care to hear any arguments, but this did not seem to dampen the ardor of the Brooklynites. Several times the chairman sharply disagreed with the arguments of the speakers. Once, when Mr. Baker was arraigning the Democratic party for not passing legislation In the Interest of the working classes, he contradicted him pretty abruptly.

Mr. Baker was disconcerted and hastily dropped the subject. Peter Altkens speech semed to grate upon Lewis Nixons nerves. When Mr. Hinrichs was arguing in favor of compulsory arbitration, Mr.

Nixon found it imfiossible to sit still. He didnt Interrupt, but he showed that he wished he was elsewhere. Of course, the committee Ignored the suggestions which the two Brooklyn clubs made. The Radicals offered thirteen and the Shepard club nine planks for the platform. BROOKLYNITES RETURN TO-MORROW.

The Kings County delegation will leave here to-morrow nusEbing at 10 oclock on their special tramand should arrive in Brooklyn about 3 lfr-tbe afternoon. The Tammany trains leaveTtere to-night. It Is estimated that 125 newspaper men occupied seats around the tables in front of the stage during yesterday's session of the convention. (Special to The Standard Union.) SARATOGA, Oct. The throwing out of the credentials which "Big Bill" Devery brought tiere from the Board of Elections In New "York City was prompted by high moral Impulses.

Big Tim Sullivan makes this statement, and as he 1s an acknowledged authority on such matters, no one doubts that the Committee on Credentials acted as It did solely with the Idea of keeping Tam- mans name free from the suspicion that i It would condone anything wrong. By the turning down of Devery Tammany Ball, as represented by Senator Sullivan, the political boss of what was the 'red light section under the Van Wyck I administration, escapes what came near I being a smirch upon Its clean record. "Tim Sullivan and John F. Carroll threw aside for the time being their po-1 lltlcai and personal differences and work-1 together to save Tammany from the dreadful odium which would have resulted If Devery had been allowed to take his seat among the delegates from New York County. Sullivan-and Carroll got able assistance from Senator McCarren, another reformer, and from Dan Finn, and from Sport Murphy, of Dock Board fame.

Hugh McLaughlin, the noted Independent Democrat from Brooklyn, Joined In the fight for purity In poli- tics. The report that he had a personal grudgi to pay oft, that he wanted to even matters because "Big Bill had called him an old woman and other names, was found to be without fact late last night bv a Standard Union representative. Of course, the old man denied that he was inspired by other than righteous motives, but this was not enough. The reporter learned from a member of the Committee on Credentials that Mr. McLaughlin let It be plainly understood that he was against Devery because he used money at the primaries.

This is something the Boss emeritus never has done, but an Inveterate enemy of his was whispering it about last night that he didnt object to other people spending It But, of course, this was mere spite talk, and no one paid any attention to it It was a great victory for Tammany Ball. The leaders of that organization, who have grown poor working for the cause of party betterment and good government, and who have impaired their health tolling in the interest of these things, naturally felt elated over having squelched for the time being a man who was endeavoring to break In by the use of money. Johnny Carroll, whose devotion to duty has kept him extremely busy for the past fifteen years, and whose face shows the want of sufficient rest and proper food, diminished his slim purse by celebrating with a bottle of dogs head. Then Senator SQljlvan came along. This was In the cafe of the Grand Union.

Seeing his former friend Carroll he went up to him and they exchanged mutual congratulations. A bottle of apol-llnaris was ordered. 8uch extravagance Tamfnany men are not in the habit of seeing, but then the occasion! Senator 1 McCarren happened about while this bottle opening wan going on, and he joined in. He contented himself with a bottle of ginger ale. Then these three men, the champions of the working classes, who preach against the accumulation of wealth, chatted avt ay with great vigor, occasionally condemning the "vulgar Devery" for putting wealth above citizenship.

McCarren was heard to call him a parvenu, and the other two nodded as though they knew what It meant Carroll thought Devery too much of an Ignoramus to be admitted into the councils of the party, while Sullivan said he did a foolish thing when he attempted to break into the party by tapping a keg. The trio concluded their revelry about midnight by clinking their glasses to the toast Tammanys Fair Name Saved. A Tammany Assemblyman made the statement last night that Devery cost him 2,000 votes a year ago, and he was glad he has been excluded from the convention, for I will get beaten this year If he continues to talk. Other ROEBLINGS LARGE RAL'EIGH, N. Oct 1.

The North Carolina Supreme Court yesterday granted a new trial to James Wilcox, under sentence to be hanged at Elizabeth City, for the murder of Nell Cropsey. The new trial is on the grounds, principally, that demonstrations of lawlessness qnd intimidation occurred during the closing scenes of the trial, influencing the jury against the prisoner. In the course of the opinion the Court says: The evidence was entirely circumstantial, and while that character of evidence may, in its very nature, produce a high degree of moral certainty In its application, yet It is never to be forgotten that It requires the greatest caution and vigilance In its application. "In reading the record In this case It hardly seems possible that the Jury could have given that cautious and vigilant attention to the evidence which the law requires of them, or to the presentation of the prisoners case to them by his counsel that thought, which the Importance of the case demanded. In their Immediate presence, one hundred people, In their deliberate purpose to prejudice the rights of the prisoner, committed a great wrong against the commonwealth, and a contempt of the, court.

On the outside of the court house great Improprieties took place, for the purpose of prejudicing the prisoner, with the jury. No 'such demonstrations were ever witnessed In our State before, and for the honor of the commonwealth such ought not to be repeated. "The disorderly proceefilngs assumed such proportions as to warrant this court In declaring that the trial was not conducted according to the law of the land. The propriety of our ruling Is strengthened bv the circumstances that contempt proceedings were not commenced against those offending, and that no motion was made to set the verdict aside, a.nd for a new trial, after such unheard of demonstrations.

The drawbridge was built without plans being submitted to the Federal Government. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company was notified by the War Department that the structure built by the old Nassau Company must go, and accordingly the engineering staff of the company, headed by Engineers Facke and Anderson, drew up plans for a strus- END BRIDGE. ture which has met the approval of the Government.

The new bridge. Instead of a draw, folds up sideways like a fan, the shorn end of the girders being worked on pivot, while the outer ends of the bridge rest on a pier on the opposite side of the channel. This Is connected by movable cross girders which allow the bridge guides to fold up when the bridge is opened. The piers were built out of big steel tubes 5 feet 6 Inches In diameter, which were driven down to a solid foundation and then filled In with concrete. They were connected with steel beams.

The main girders are some which were left over when the Brooklyn elevated road was built. According to officials of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, the construction of the bridge cost 360,000. Chief Engineer J. C. Breckenrldge, ot the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, was seen at his office In the Franklin Trust Building, on Montague streets today, and, made this statement regarding the accident: "The accident occurred because of defective eye-bolt at the lower extremity of the suspender rod.

The suspender rod was dependent upon this eye-bolt, and when It gave way the bridge fell. At the time It had been open and was Just about to swing around in place. The breaking of the eye-bolt was due to a defective piece of steel, which could not be seen. Jt would have been Impossible for the train to have run Into the creek, as every time the bridge Is opened the keeper stakes a flag on the up and down tracks. We hope to have the bridge In condition before night.

The defect has been repaired this morning, and all that is now necessary is the replacing of several rails on the structure. the local clergymen have Interested themselves In facilitating the registration In the school of many of the foreigners In the district who are unable to speak English. POST OFFICE RECEIPTS OVER $1,000 A DAY. The receipts of the Brooklyn Post Office from stamps, stamped envelopes, postal cards, for the month ending Sept. 80, show an increase of 330,681.65, or over 31,000 a day, as compared with the figures of last year.

It is said that this record surpasses anything yet accomplished In the history of the Brook lyn Post Office. FIREWORKS ENCAMPMENT will contest in a floral parade for hand some sliver cups, to be awarded In the name of the President to the most beau tlfully decorated carriages. The tribes of Red Men in the East have arranged to hold their pow wow during the week and pass through the streets In war paint and feathers. For the first time In the history of the Veterans Encampments the women will hold a camp fire for their sex, and Mrs. Ellen S.

Mussey has been appointed a General for the occasion. She will have her headquarters at the "Mother Bicker-dyke tent on the White Lot. The camp fire will be held at the larragut tent on Wednesday evening. The ordinary police force of the city will be nearly doubled, and many detectives from other cities will bfe on hand to assist the local men to Identify and take care of professional crooks who may, attend the encampment, HENRY HOGEGOOM SEEKS AN ABSOLUTE DIVORCE the suit for an absolute divorce brought by Henry Hogeboom against his wife, Helen R. Hogeboom, came before Justice Keogh in Special Term of the Supreme Court yesterday afternoon on a motion made by counsel for the defendant for counsel fee and alimony In order to enable her to defend the action and also with the petition for a Jury The parties were married in 1894 and have one child seven years of age.

It is claimed by the plaintiff that his wife deserted him on March 4, 1901. Three parties are named, with whom it is- alleged the defendant misconducted herself at various times and places In Manhattan and at Bath Beach. The defendant denies the allegations and claims that the parties mentioned were merely roomers at boarding houses which she conducted In order to maintain herself and child. The defendant In -1897 began action for divorce against her husband, while the husband made a counter charge. The suits were withdrawn and a retraction made by the husband.

The parties formerly resided on Convent Hill, near 128th street, Manhattan. Justice Keogh denied the motion for counsel fee and alimony, but granted permission for a jury trial. COMMITTEE MEETS The Executive Committee of the Liberal Democratic party, of Kings Count, held Its first nleetlng of the campaign at the Clarendon Hotel last evening. The chairman, J. C.

Cooper, presided; O. B. Schmidt, the secretary, recorded the proceedings. The organization of Assembly district committees was arranged for, and a Campaign Committee of one man from each Assembly district, was appointed to meet weekly at the headquarters during the campaign. A complete Congressional, -Senatorial and Assembly ticket was discussed, and candidates will be named In every district.

1 Among those present were: Dr. En- ton, J. F. Harder, Maurer Spooler and other working Liberal Democrats. Headquarters will be opened In about a week in the vicinity of the Borough Hall.

The rooms will be well furnished, and efforts are to be made to establish there an effective rallying point for all men of Liberal Democratic tendencies in the county, I PRINCIPALS RESIGN Find That They Are Unable to Do Both Day and Night Duty. Despite the fact that evening element tary schools do not open until next Monday, several changes have already been made In the ranks of the principals, caused by the retirement of those who find they cannot work both day1 and night, and do each equally well. Everett W. Barnes has been appointed principal of No. 109 to succeed Frank B.

Stevens, who goes to No. 85, to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of La Salle H. Whllt. Thomas O. Baker, principal of No.

104, at Fort Hamilton, has also resigned, and will be succeeded by Joseph M. Sheehan. No reasons are given by the superintendents for these changes, but more are expected to follow before the term Is fin lshed. As pointed out by one of the superintendents, the strain of both day and evening schools on a principal or teacher is great, and in miking the original appointments only those applicants were chosen whoBe records showed their ability to do double work. The evening school work this year is going through a period of reconstruction, and its development Is being watched with particular Interest RAILROADS.

The draw had Just been opened to permit the passage of barges to the coal docks on the creek. THE NEW WEST The Coney Island trains, which leave the Fifth avenue elevated road at Thirty-sixth street, cross the bridge, which Is commonly known as the West End Bridge." A train was about due at the time of the accident, and through the prompt action of Policeman P.

K. Furnell, of the Coney Island station, a catastrophe was averted. Furnell was on post at the Coney Island side of the creek, and was powerless for a time to stop the train which was about due. Appreciating the danger, he leaped Into a skiff which was lying In the oreek and pulled for the other shore and stopped the train some distance from the bridge. There were five cars well filled, and the passengers were almost frantic In their joy when they realized their peril.

The bridge, which folds up like a fan, did not drop all at once, but in the several sections, each of which made a tremendous splash. General Superintendent Dow S. Smith, of the B. R. T.

Company, went to the scene of the accident. In the meantime a wrecking train and a gang of laborers were dispatched to Conev Island Creek. He said that It would require a day or two to make the necessary repairs. The bridge across Coney Island Creek was completed about two months ago, and took the place of an old turn bridge which was condemned by the War Department because It did not come up to the requirements. Originally the bridging of Coney Island Creek was undertaken In 1862, at which time the Gunther road, the first steam railroad to Coney Island, was built.

The bridge was an old-fashioned structure, but stood the strain for many years, until the trolley car came into use.

In the Nmlng the automobile en-thuplaqta number of leaqt 300 LIABLE FOR OVERTIME PENALTY Williamsburg Bridge Cable Contractors, It Is Alleged Seek to Evade Payment of Nearly $150,000, by Means of a New Con- if Nv tract Document Now in Hands of Law Department New Contract Means an Additional Cost of $50,000. The Roeblings, who have the contract for the cable work on the new Williamsburg Bridge, are liable for a large overtime penalty, and what may be the first steps to evade the payment of this penalty has just come to light. It their plans go through, the cable work on this bridge will cost over 350,004 more to the than was provided for In the original contract. When Bridge Commissioner Llnden-thal permitted the RoebllngB to continue the work after their time limit expired on April 16, it was understood that If they continued the work in a manner satisfactory to him he would aBk the Board of Estimate and Apportionment to remit all or the greater part of the penalty for overtime, which is at the rate of 31,000 a day.

It was also understo9d that Mr. Ltndenthal's Idea of a reasonable time for the completion of the cable work was by Sept. 1. No move was made by either side during the summer months, and the mlBsloner steadily refused to state what action he would take until all of the cables had been completed. The cable work is now drawing to a close, and a few days ago Mr.

Llndenthal received a letter from one of those in charge of the construction of the bridge, recommending that a certain new method of covering the cables be adopted. The advantage of the process, it Is said, makes the cables entirely water-proof, thereby protecting the wires from the destructive action of the elements. The engineers recommended the process and It was taken into serious consideration by the Commissioner. Some correspondence was passed regarding the matter, and then Commissioner Llndenthal discovered that if he placed his sanction on the process It would necessitate a further extension of time. He thought this might be brought forward by the contractors as an excuse for some of the delay In performing the original contract.

Commissioner Llndenthal wrote to the Roeblings for further particulars, and it Is said that their reply was rather evasive. He sent another letter, so as to have It distinctly understood that the new contract should not In any way affect the original one. Just what turn affairs took then Is not -clear, for It Is said that the contract was at once drawn up and, while It contained a clause providing that the new and original contracts should be considered Individually, the title was of such a nature that It might be construed in court as an amendment to the original contract. The contract was sent to the Law Department for. approval and has not yet been returned.

It is pointed out, however, that the Law Department might pass upon the form of contract Innocently enough, for It Is without official knowledge of the relations between the contractors and the Bridge Commissioner. Should the contract be signed In its present form It Is said that It would be Impossible to determine where the old contract terminated and the new began, because all the work Is so closely allied. On this fact is based the assumption that, rather than pay a penalty amounting to nearly 3160,000, the Roebling Company would make a hard legal fight to establish an Inseparable relationship between the two contracts. The additional 369,000 which It la said the new covering process would cost might not call for an extra appropriation, because sweeping reductions In salaries and other things have left a material surplus for the department for the present year. It might be necessary, however, for the Board of Estimate to pass upon the transfer of the money from one account to another, and should this be the case there might be a hitch In the proceedings.

The time Is coming on now when the Board of Estimate will consider the new budget, and it Is not at all likely it will be disposed to permit any expenditures unless they are absolutely necessary. When ihe contract Is returned from theLaw Department it Is expected that there will be some further developments In the case, which may bring up the whole question the overtime penalty. 1 A.
