Littleton on the M.ind ho has taken in this campaign. Raymond V.

an independent Demon at and ho borough secretary of the Citizens Union, said to-day: McCarren nnd his friends have told Mr. Littleton that his courageous stand for home rule and against a Tammany invasion of this borough will jeopardize his political future. Such a statement is an insult to the Dcmocatic voters of this county. On the contrary, Mr. Littleton has strengthened liiniself immeasurably in the ejos of all independent Democrats, and these independent Dram rats hold unmistakably the balance of the political power in this county.

They are' supporting I.ow this year because they have discarded the worn-out superstition that city elect. ons stywhl be Maine Woman Found With Bullet Wounds in Head.

Until Saturday tiny were unwilling to admit that Lour would have any plurality in this county, 3 hey now concede that tlie news is less eatisfaeter.v for their districts. When speaking confidentially they say that the indi-entjons are that Low will carry the county by at bat twenty thousand. Tba active Tammany men report to the leaders that Democrats an in revolt all along tho luie.

The German, too. upon whom they vounted, are going away from them. They say that the influence of Earl Sehurz and other leading mbn of the German race is beginning to show. itelf, 'This slipping from under them of the Gerjnans is a sad experience, for, should the tendency now visible continue, they may have a landslide to face in Brooklyn. There is no attempt to deny the fact that the Tammany ticket will bo badly cut by' tho Irish and American elements of the party.

One of Mefarrens informants said to-day that ho doubted whether Me Clellnn would be able to carry the Twelfth Ward. In the atmosphere around tlie red-light forces was decidedly gloomy this morning. DEATH Fflll BETRAYER. Chinese Merchant Said to Have Disclosed Secrets, II. S.

Bed on tlia Bowery-Three Countrymen Arrested. Decision in Small Snit, Involving a Lien, on Boat, Determines a Great Principle. DISPUTE ON OVER CAMPAIGN FUND Several persons were more or less burned and overcome hy smoke at a fire, early this morning, which damaged, to a large exteut, a four-story double brick apartment house at wNo. 9SG Mauhattnn avenue. On the ground floor, John Me-Elroy carried on an undertaking shop on one side and on the other wad a barber 1 shop kept by Jacob Kiefers.

Six families occupied the three floors above the store. On the second story lived Mr. Anuie Me Cue and her sixteen-year-old daughter, Clara, and the family of Joseph Ambrose. On the third floor Jived Bernard Frank and the family of Henry Biegel, and on the upper story, the family of Frederick Ernst, a fish dealer, and Mrs. Mary Smith.

Mr.VMcElroy lives in another section of the Seventeenth Ward. He closed up at 10 oiock last night and shortly after 1 oclock this morning a belated way farer, on passing undertakers shop av a tiro burning brightly in the rear. His shouts brought Policeman William Brennan, of the Greenpoint Avenue Sta-) tion, and after he had pulled a fire-box in neighborhood ho ran back to the house to awaken the inmates. When he pushed open the front door leading to the hall, a volume of smoke nearly overpowered him and suddenly the flames broke forth from the rojr and reached the stairs, Brenoan made his way through the smoke and 114) the stairs to the second floor, where he heard Mrs. McCue acream-invfQr help.

He entered the womans apartments and assisted her and her daughter down the stairs. The wearing ftpparel of the girl caught fire and on the street she and her mother were severely hunted while trying to smother the flames. Meanwhile Brennan had returned to the house and helped out Mrs. Smith and her two young daughters. This family suffered severely from inhaled smoke, and it was feared for a time that Mrs.

Smith would have to be taken to hospital. The policeman for the third time went back into the building nnd on the upper floor he found Ernst. The latter had helped his family to the street and hod gone back to his rooms to save some of his property. The 6re, which had shot up the airshaft, had enveloped his rooms in the rear. lie was so badly hurned that when Brennan and some firemen brought him to the street, it was found necessary to summon an ambulance from the Eastern District Hospital, to which institution the man was taken.

The other persons, who were only slightly burned nnd those who Buffered from inhaling smoke, were treated by a doctor in the neighborhood. The firemen kept the blaze confined to that building ami after an hours work had it under control. The building, which was owpod by John Brennan, was damaged to the extent of about $3,000, while McFlroys loss was $1,000, and the barbers about $100. The tenants placed their losses nt front $50 to $150 each. How the fire started Is not known.

Indications to-day, at tho opening of the last week of the campaign, arc all pointing to a great victory for the Fusion city ticket. The tide is now turning strongly against Tammany, and it is evident that unlesfl some remarkable change of sentiment occurs this, week McClellan, Grout and Fornes will go down to crushing defeat. The greatest confidence prevails in Fusion circles. Supporters of Mayor Low are not nt all alarmed at the desperate efforts which Tammany will make to recover lost ground in Brooklyn this week. The scores of meetings which will be held, and the four visits of Colonel McClellan to the borough, is said, are in themselves indications that Murphy realizes that bis course in threatening Brooklyn with on invasion of the Tiger has lent his ticket thousands of votes here.

No amount of campaigning, it is thought, will suffice to overcome the natural repugnance of Brooklyn for Tammany rule, the borough will give the anti-Tammany ticket big majority is admitted by nil, nnd the size of the majority is now the only question. The general opinion is that this majority will be of puch size that it will swallow up any adverse majorities that may be given by other parts of the city, and that it will leave a big margin to spare. The almost united action of the Brooklyn clergymen jcMerdny in denouncing 'Pam-many is, it is also declared, worrying Murphy, for he realizes that the people of this borough are thoroughly aroused. One of the features of the last week of the campaign will he that three of tho eminent preachers of this borough will speak on the questions involved in this campaign. They are Pr.

Cuyler, Dr. Parker find Pr. Cadman. In their remarks, nnd, in fact, iu tho addresses of all the speakers, the maintenance of the purity of the Brooklyn homes will be urged in the strongest language. Dr.

Cuyler to Speak at Waverly Hall, Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler has never taken deeper interest in a political campaign than he has in this one. He will speak Thursday evening at AVaverly Ilall, Waverly and Myrtle avenues, it being his request that he speak in his own district and tell his neighbors what he considered the issues for the voters to dot ido this year. He was at the Citizens Union headquarters to-day nnd said: It is the duty of every pulpit to open Its guns next Sunday for the destruction of Tammany Hall, just ns it was nt the time of the Civil War.

This is one of the great occasions where every minister ia warranted in exposing the iniquities of the enemy. I do not believe in the pulpit entering into politics as a rule, but this is not an ordinary election. At the time of the Civil War we had the pulpit draped with the Stars and Stripes. A visiting Englishman said to me, Is this not a consecrated building? I replied, Yes sir; nnd this is a consecrated flag. WASHINGTON.

The ones who have any right to say hovr money in possession of the Executive Committee shall be expended are. of the committee. John L. Shea, chairman, and Arthur S.

Sam Jim, a Chinese tea merchant, of No. 19 Bowery, was found dead in the rear of his store last night, and it is be lieved that he was murdered by three of his fellow countrymen for having given, it is alleged, information to the Federal authorities regarding the smuggling of opium into the United States. 1 Tuck Lee, aged 23, of No.

19 Pell street; Sam Kefi, aged 30, of No, ,38 Pell street, and Quan John, aged 33, of No. 19 Tell street, are under arrest on feuspiejon of having committed the murder. Dr. Giovanni Forsegln, who attended Sam Jim last week, said to-day that death was due to hemorrhages. As no certificate of death had been filed, Pr.

Gilfoyle of the Board of Health notified Coroner Jackson. The Coroner then turned the case over to Captain Flood of the Eldridge street station and, as a result of their investigation, the three men were plaeed under arrest. Coroner Jackson will perform an autopsy on the body to-day, when the cause of death will he determined. The body is now nt an undertakers establishment nt No. 31 Mott street.

It in alleged that during the raids on Chinese dens in Philadelphia and in this city by agents of the Federal Government, last June, when a number of Chinese were arrested charged with smuggling opium, Sam gave the agents valuable information and thereby incurred the hatred of tys fellow countrymen.

Any fear that tho Fusion managers have bad about tho attitude of tho German voters in this campaign have boon entirely impelled. Mnvor Lows frank of his jiosition nt the meetings iu the Eastern Pistifit last nook made in thousands of supjwrters nnd did nt lso him any. Louis Beer, who has a wide acquaintance among the German people, said to-day: There i no question that the decent self-respecting Germans who love purity of homo and good government the same other people are in hearty accord with the Fumoii administration and will vote to keep it in power.

Flinty of schools, clean streets, the suppresio 1 of vice and red lights. low taxes theo appeal to the German voters; not the cry of the saloonkeeper who has boon to conduct his business decently and in order. There is no doubt that the German population are with Low. I have talked with people in every section of the city in all lines of business and I can ee the drift every day is stronger in the direction of the Fusion ticket. There i- no doubt of Lows election.

Court held that the dry dock on which tho repair were made, although literally oa land, dry docks for the purpose of tact are to ho considered under maritime jurisdiction. because they differ from othef do-ks only because they are smaller the water is punipel out from them. The maritime Inw extend, moreover to boats plying between titirs in the ame State. Justice Brewer delivered the opinion of the minority, composed of himself and Justhe Fuller, and Justices Fe.kham nnd, Hariau. lie contended that the admiralty jurisdiction of the United State does not extend to canals; that it is the law of the sea anil not waters; that the lien for the repairs was covered by the laws of the State of New York, and that he could not subcribe to the dx trine that the State could not provide Dr the on-feiecment of the law it had made, in it'Uf own courts, waterway, whhh it had built, and for whose enlargement it was now to s-pend Statements of those eoncorned do not give much enlightenment on tHfc subject.

Treasurer Salmon snvs that th stories about there being any trouble is all tommy rot. Rut he aNn says that the only nnney in the hands of the committee that is being expended is that which was contributed directly for the purpose of being u.el in this campaign. The rest of the money held by the committee, he says, is not being used at all. On the other hand, Chairman Shea says that the money in tho possession of the committee is being used and that he is signing the checks as they come along. Senator McCarren says there Is no dispute about the money, hut he also answered a question in such a way as to indicats that there is no money, aside from that contributed to the campaign being used itt this campaign.

Are you using the money that wag the possession of the committee? Senator McCarren. was asked, and he replied: We are using the money that wag gent in to be used in this campaign; that tg all the money I know anything about. The payrool at Senator McCarreo'a Tammany headquarters has been fnereaaed from a little over $200 to nearly $700, and ns a result there are a great many faeea to be seen about the rooms that are familiar around the street cornerJ in the Eastern District. The rooms were crowded this morning to such an extent that many of the district lenders commented upon it and nkcd one another who the people then) were. There was a drop this morning of 2.VW) in Senator McCarrens estimate of tha probable result in the city.

On Saturday he mi id that he as convinced that McClellan would win in the city by a plurality of about 75,1 a a 1. To-day he said thought McClellan would win by about ACCUSING CATHOLIC BISHOP.

Other questions regarding the vast campaign fund that Tammany supposed to have raised by taxing corporations were also evaded by the Tammany chieftain. He refused absolutely to give any information on the juhjort. When the qucM'on of Colonel McClellan's suness was broached, Mr. Murphy was all attention.

He is still deluding hinwelf wph the belief that M-'Clellnn will tnrr all five boroughs, Senator I'itinkitt. said Mr. Murphy, with a chuckle, dodnre.s that McClellan's plurality will be BO.Oiio. You know that he is never wrong. What my own figures are? Why, I am ashamed to tell you.

I don't think you would believe me if I did tell you. Tammany spellbinders for the past few weeks have been making the cxei question one of the principal issues of the campaign. To bBter up the uiuv they liar not hesitated to make all sorts of ridiiulouft statements, reflecting upon Mater Low.
