December 14 The dreaded alarm, "14," called out the firemen shortly before 1 o'clock this morning, to the residence of Joseph McKeon, assistant business manager of a Brooklyn newspaper. The building has been unoccupied for several months, and It was entirely empty. It Is believed that the fire, which was confined to the roof, was caused by defective elecirie light wires. Although the fire wa3 confined to the attic, the lower portion of the building Is badly damaged by water, and it Is believed that the damage will exceed $1,000, fully covered by insurance.

So many things in the way of construction still remain to be completed that Commissioner Stevenson, figuratively speaking, Is up In the air. According to present indications, the bridge will not be opened until the very last day of the present year. Commissioner Stevenson said to-dae that he was hurrying th work on the structure as fast as possible, but that he could not say just when things will be In readiness for the formal opening. The actual date will not be set until a few days before the New Year, which will leave no time for elaborate preparations.

Ho was told that many clergymen, since the marriage license law had gone Into effect, had been very careless about sending in reports of marriages. He was referred to Mr. Sculley, at the License Bureau, who told him the license had not been returned.

Mr. Ewen knew that the paper had been mailed, and he could not understand it. He finally had to go out of town to the home of the clergyman who had performed the ceremony, bring him to Brooklyn, and have him sign a record of the marriage.

It was admitted, but, it was stated, that between 40 and 60 per rent, of the owners had either tacitly withdrawn objection to the scheme or were a little more than ready to part with their property to the city. It is said that as the discussion of the matter continued, the selection of a site narrowed more and more down to the one already taken and abandoned, and when a vote was finally taken it was proposed to take the entire block, save that part belonging to St. Charles Bor-romeo Church and used for a parochial school. This project met with almost entire favor from the' judges, but further discussion was had, and it was suggested that a committee of the Judges might be selected to see the church authorities and see if a withdrawal of opposition in that quarter could not be obtained.

Resolution Passed to Take All of "First Site Selected. Justices Jenks, Stapleton, Carr and Kelly were appointed on the committee, and then a vote was taken to include the school property, thus taking the entire block, which was passed by the Judges with only a dissenting voice or two.

Mr. Parrish has also written Surrogate-elect Nicoll nrotesting against the appointment of Judge Belford to the clerkship. In closing his letter to Mr.

Mrs. Neuman's husband, Frederick; died on Tuesday of last week and was buried On Saturday. Butzer was at the Neuman borne to attend the funeral and Intended leaving for his home yesterday morning. According to neighbors it was Mrs. Neuman's custom to rise early, prepare her son's breakfast, and, after he had left for his business, to return to her room for an hour's nap before getting her own meal.

Yesterday morning, after her son had left Mrs. Neuman removed the coffee pot from the gas range to the kitchen stove and in doing so accidentally brushed against the rubber tube from the gas jet to the range. Mrs. Neuman. must have gone to her room, unconscious ot the fact that the kitchen was rapidly filling with gas.

When she acrose again and made her way toward the kitchen she probably smelled the gas, and ran to open the kitchen door for a breath of fresh -air. It was at this door that Mrs. Neuman dropped unconscious. Mrs. Edward Schmandt, of 912 Ferry street, who was summoned by Mrs.

Elizabeth Ehrensberger, another neighbor, who smelled gas, opened a window from outside and climbed in. Dr. Ball, who lives near by was quickly summoned and, assisted by others, worked hard over the unconscious woman. It was half an hour after that Butzer, who was sleeping in a bedroom adjoining the kitchen, was discovered. The man woman were then removed to St.

He had been dead several hours, a physician said. Alderman-elect Alexander Dreschor went to the extreme end of his large district to Rugby last night to attend a smoker and meeting given by the members of the East Flatbush Taxpayers Association, in the meeting room, 4313 Church avenue. The occasion was the annual meeting of the progressive association, and In connection with the election of officers the members give the smoker to enliven affairs. "Remember," he said, "I want you to communicate with me when you need an Improvement, and I will get It for you.

If the new administration proves practical then they will respond. It is my hope to have those persons in the congested parts of Brooklyn move to Rugby and build up this section, rather than move to Jersey. "You want lights you will get them. You want sewers you will get them. You want drainage and curbing and grading you will get them.

I am going to Inject a degree of common sense into my office and see if it is not possible to equip Rugby as it should be with lights and other improvements."

Asking that his name be left out of any statement that might be made, one of the judges this morning talked freely with an Eagle reporter about the difficulties that had to be met in the selection of any site for a new court house and of the way in which, by a process of elimination, the location had become narrowed down to the one finally determined upon.

Sentiment of Property Owners an Important Question in Selecting Site. When the bill was passed by which the Supreme Court Justices, resident In Kings County, were made the orbitera of the new courthouse site, which was to be built by the county and be a county charge, the question of site was at once seen to "be a most vital one. First, there was the element of expense, and then, secondly there was also the sure opposition that was bound to come from property owners whose property was to be taken. These two elements were so important, he said, that from the very first there was a sentiment among the judges that the county might be forced to go upon the vacant lands about the Plaza, tut there was a majority feeling that a trial should at least be first made to PROPOSALS.

Among other interesting recitals of the article Is the following: "Clarence Cunningham lived at Wallace, Idaho, at the time he first became interested in tho Cunningham claims. Wallace is the chief town of the Coeur d'Alene mining region.

By a sort of financial manipulation, the Guggenhelms control the lead output of the Coeur d'Alenes. Wallace is the residence of Senator W. B. Heyburn of Idaho. Cunningham and Heyburn are, and have been for years, friends.

In h'n affidavit, presented by Ballinger to Garfield, Cunningham says that certain of the claimants failed to come forward with their subscriptions and that these expenses were advanced by A. B. Campbell, another Cunningham claimant and a prominent Coeur d'Alene mine-owner, who was subsequently reimbursed. John' A. Finch, Campbell's mining partner, is also a claimant.

Another is Charles Sweney, Coeur d'Alene mine-owner, who floated some Coeur d'Alene mines and sold them to the Standard Oil interests. Standard Oil, Indeed, may get deeper into this story at some later date. For the present It may interest the reader to know that the court records in Seattle i3how that Baillnger's law firm represented the Standard Oil Company in different suits. "Senator Heyburn was, at the time of his election to the United States Senate, the leading attorney at Wallace for some of the large Coeur d'Alene mine interests. After the hearing on the Cale bill.

Senator Heyburn, on April 23. 1908, introduced in the Senate another bill which would have legalized the Cunningham claims and which would have passed but for the intervention ot Secretary Garfield.

(Special to the Eagle.) Glen Cove, L. December 14 Two pretty girls, an umbrella and a wind storm made a combination here yesterday which furnished a few minutes amusement for those who happened to be looking on. The girls came down School street and stopped Id front of tho Glen Covo" Bank.

They had an umbrella, and when they reached the bank they tried to shut It down in order to go into the building. The umbrella refused to budge, and the girls consulted, with the result that one remained outside with the open umbrella, while the other went in. The umbrella had had a small hole in the top, and the vigorous shaking it had received started something to 'Yiooiig. 'ipplng. ripping," so that whep the girl inline came out the ribs of the parachute had spread up through the hole and it was a sorry looking sight.

There was another consultation, and then the umbrella changed hands and a determined effort was made to close It. The girl pulled and the umbrella resisted. Finally a long hard tug was given, and, lo, the stick of the umbrella came through the top and the covering settled gracefully to the ground. Looking around cautiously to see if they were observed, the girls dropped the remains of the umbrella and walked quickly away, evidently believing that no one had witnessed the tragic end of the burabershoot. But when they read this they will know better.

Sixth av and Sterling place, on Wednesday morning. December 15, at 9 o'clock. olayed an important part, in tne eite fluallv taken the assessed values were the lowest of any of the blocks in the neighborhood of the Borough Hall, being in the neighborhood of and one reason for choosing this site, besides its nearness to the present group of public buildings was Its low cost and the advantage of its being off of trolley streets. It was even suggested, when the question of what to do with the parochial school on the Sidney place corner of the block was discunsed that the city, iu view of the relatively low value ot this block, as compared with the value of others near the Borough Hall, could make a liberal allowance for the parochial plot which would permit a new building to be put up according to mod-err, speclfipationg for school structures. According to the Eagle's Informant, the opposition to the taking of the block, by the property owners and the tenants, especially the phynlcians, was expected by the judges, who, from the very first, credited the opposition rather more to the shock of the proposition and the tear of the harm that the change might work to interests long established there rather than r.ny desire to boost the price of the property and get more out of the city.

The Judge recognized this opposition and withdrew the site from the consideration of the Board of Estimate. There was then but one thing to do, it is said, the judges concluded, and that was seek a site where there was vacant land in the neighborhood of the l'laza. This was forced upon the judges, the Eagle's inr formant said, because it would be manifestly unfair, having acceded to the protests of the owners and tenants in one block, to take another block anywhere downtowu and then iftnorc the same sort of protests that would be sure to follow lis selection.
