THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW DORK. MONDAY. DECEMBER 12. 1310.

FIRE -SCARRED HERO OUT OF THE SERVICE Captain Joseph McCormick Is Retired by Waldo at Own Request. CALLED THE BRAVEST OF ALL. Commissioner Honors Brooklyn Veteran, Who Will Get $2,500 a Year During Life. Captain Joseph McCormick of 104 Macon street, who has been in the Fire Department for thirty-nine will retire from service on full 500 a year on January 1, and with a characterization from Commissioner Waldo which values even more of being "bravest fireman in the servRest ice." He is the first fireman ever retired on full pay. Captain Joe was the hero of the Pratt Oil Works fire, which ocourred.

early on the morning of October 11, 1888, 111 Greenpoint, this borough. He still sufters from terrible burns received that morning, when by his presence of mind and prompt action he saved several, of his comrades. The oil works were on Kent avenue, between Tenth and Eleventh streets, and included a storehouse with two 15,000 barel tanks alongside. McCormick was captain of Engine Company No. 15, and when they responded to the alarm at 3 in the morning, found that the fire Wag in the warehouse.

They went in, dragging a hose with them, and got to work. One of the tanks exploded and the oil flew in every direction, and a wall of flame barred their egress. Help from outside was impossible. Every man but Captain Joe lost his head. McCormick had a special reason for not wanting to die--he had been married just two years and had a girl baby at home, and expected to become district engineer before, long.

He kept his wits. He cried out an order to his men to fall on their faces. They were too rattled to obey. He sprang on several ot them and knocked them down, then flung himself on his face, and with his hand on useless hose they had dragged into the building, started to crawl out. "Follow me back along the hose," said McCormick, "it's the only chance." Fire-Scorched Fire Fighters Reach Safety.

They crawled along through the flame and charring timbers, with McCormick in the lead, and a few minutes later the crowd on the outside saw the procession, every man afire, stagger into the air and fall unconscious in the street. Captain Joe was hurt the worst. His fingen; and his face were badly burned. His eyelids were gone a altogether. It was weeks before he got out of St.

Catharine's Hospital, and a year before he went back to duty. He was transferred to lire Headquarters to work on investigations. Recently his eyes had bothered him a great deal, and he has had to have several operations. Saturday he went to Fire Commissioner Rhinelander Waldo and said he guessed he'd have to quit-he wasn't much use any more, he was afraid. The commissioner put his hand affectionately on the captain's shoulder.

"You're the bravest man in the department." said he. "and I'm going retire you on full pay." Captain Joe was too affected to answer. The retirement goes into effect the first of the year; that time Captain Joe has a vacation. LECTURES ON HISTORY. In the Church of Our Father, Grand avenue and Lefferts place, last evening, an interesting illustrated lecture was given by Brigham on the subject, "From Coronado to Kit Carson."

Studds, D. P. 263 Fifth Avenue, New York City BLAZE IN TAMMANY HALL. Firemen Worked Two Hours to Subdue Flames That Started in the Gallery. Fire and water early this morning partly wrecked Tammany Hall, at 141 to 147 East Fourteenth street, Manhattan.

The fire, which started in the west gallery above the large ballroom in the center of the building, necessitated two alarms before the blaze was gotten under ago. While the fire was confined to control, and it did about $25,000 dam- the gallery where it started and to the floor below, most of the a damage to the lower part of the structure was done by water which the firemen, under Chief Croker and Commissioner Waldo flooded the building. was gotten under control. The fire had After two hours hard work, the blaze eaten its way from the gallery, where it started, to the floor below before it was put out. Last night there was a dance in the ballroom given by "Our 'Neighbors" Social Club.

It is supposed that someone left a lighted cigar or cigarette in one of the boxes in the gallery and this started the fire. FUNERAL OF CHAS. S. PHILLIPS. Impressive Services Held at Holy Trinity Church.

The honorary pall bearers were Mr. Bartlett, representing Pratt Institute, E. J.

Grant, William Heaton, H. Brooks Day, Mr. Sutro an.l Robert Gaylor. John Hyatt Brewer had charge of the Apollo Club singing, which was very impressive, especially the "In Memoriam" by Dudley Buck, which coneluded services of music. The quartel, composed of Mrs.

South Bay Frozen Over -Snow Stalls Motor Trucks on Roads. (Special to The Eagle.) Sayville, L. December 12-The Ice now covering the Great South Bay has become too strong to-day for the most powerful dredge boats of the oyster fleet to make any progress through it to outer oyster beds, and as most of the shippers have utilized their available oysters in trying to fill the many holiday orders they have but little emergency stock at hand. It now looks like an early shut down in Blue Points industry. The Seal ships oyster syndicate, which installed at the time of the express strike a through motor truck line over the South Country road to the ety for the transportation of its opened oysters, and which proved such a success at the start, has been forced to abandon it since the fall of snow, causing the roads to be too heavy for long distance motor trucking.

NO CHANCE FOR SHEPARD IF TAMMANY CONTROLS Chieftains of Wigwam Unanimously Opposed to Him for Senator.

SAYS ONE CLOSE TO MURPHY. Brooklyn District Leaders Are Not a Unit for the Brooklyn Candidate. Edward M. Shepard's chances for capturing the seat in the United States Senate, which will be vacant at the close of the present session, would seem to be hopeless from what prominent Tammany authority said to-day. The Tamto many organization, it is learned, is unalterably opposed to Mr.

Shepard. That opposition is so keen, it was said to-day, that Charles F. Murphy would not recede from his position, even if -elect Dix were personally to intervene in his behalf. Murphy's antagonism to Mr. Shepard did not originate with him personally, it is claimed.

He did not take a definite stand on the Shepard candidacy until he bers of the Tammany organization, who consulted with all of the influential memhave advised him on all political problems in the past. He found that the sentiment among these men was unanimous against Mr. Shepard. "You," said a man who the absolute confidence of the Tammany leader, indicating his interviewer, "have a better chance of securing the support of the Tammany organization than Mr. Shepard has.

The opposition to Mr. Shepard does not emanate from any one man. It seems to be the unanimous sentiment of the organization." "There are A good many reasons why Tammany should support Mr. Shepard," was suggested. "And there are a million reasons why Tammany should not support Mr.

Shepard," was the reply. Senatorial Race Is Still Open. The reporter's informant said the Senatorial race was still an open one. Mr. Murphy has not committed the organization to any particular candidate.

The field is a large one and Tammany's support will be given to a man whom Murphy regards as friendly and who measures required standard. An interesting incident is related to show the intense feeling against Mr. She Shepard certain in the prominent Tammany district leader, organization. in company with Murphy, was caught by reporter just as the two were entering ins the portals of Delmonico's. "How about Shepard for Senator?" the reporter asked the district leader.

"Boss," said the district leader, directing his reply to Murphy, "if you give any orders like that I'll make it a point to be in Chicago when you give them." Governor Dix Will Interfere for Anyone. That Governor- -elect Dix intends to keep his hands off the Senatorial race seems to be an established fact. The Eagle learned to-day on the best authority that the Governor-elect has told Mr. Murphy that he is not interested in any particular candidate, and that neither by word nor action will he try to influence the Legislature in making a choice. The Tammany leader has quite an alray of candidates from which to make a selection.

Former Lieutenant Governor William F. Sheehan is bringing all sorts of pressure to bear on Murphy. It is the kind of pressure that in the past has always been influential with the Tammany organization. Morgan J. O'Brien is also said to be in a receptive mood.

Daniel D. Cohalan, Murphy's right-hand man, would also like to secure the Senatorial toga, Herbert P. Bissell of Buffalo is trying to round up the up-state representation in the Legislature. He is also making an effort to secure the support of the Tammany organization. Supreme Court Justice James W.

Gerard is also mentioned as a likely candidate. He and Murphy are intimate friends, and, besides, Gerard married into the Marcus Daly millions. Brooklyn Men Divided Upon Shepard's Candidacy. The attitude that Brooklyn will take on Mr. Shepard's candidacy cannot be tained.

Leader McCooey refuses to ascer- give any expression of opinion. There seems to be an excellent reason for this silence, because Mr. McCooey's district leaders are divided on the Shepard candidacy. Elections Commissioner James P. Kane, who started the opposition in the Brook-' lyn delegation at Rochester against Mr.

Shepard's gubernatorial ambitions, is just as keen in his opposition to prevent Mr. Shepard from securing the senatorial election. He is a man who must be reckoned with, because he personally controls a senator and an assemblyman, and his influence is potent with many of the other district leaders. Thomas F. Byrnes is another Brooklyn leader who is outspoken against Mr.

Shepard's candidacy. GIRL SHOT IN THE HEAD. Was Examining a Revolver When It Was Accidentally Discharged. She Will Live. Miss Annie Sesselman, 18 years old, daughter of William Sesselman of 208 Eighteenth avenue, Astoria, who was shot in the right temple with .22 caliber revolver bullet last evening, at her home, and was taken to St.

John's Hospital, Long Island City, it was reported this morning, would recover. At the time the shooting occurred Henray Piper, a soldier stationed at Willett's Point, was visiting the young woman, but happened to be in another room when the shot was fired. Dr. A. F.

Briggs was called, and later Ambulance Surgeon Carl B. Smith of St. John's Hospital arrived, and the wounded girl was taken to the hospital. Fortunately the bullet had embedded itself in the bone so that the wound inflicted was not mortal. In explaining the shooting the girl said she did not attempt her life, but that the weapon was discharged by accident.

She said she was examining the revolver when she fell with it in her hand and it was discharged. No complaint was lodged against her, and after she had been removed to the hospital young Piper returned to Fort Totten. PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS. Commissioner Stover Tells of Work Going On in Manhattan. Charles B.

Stover, commissioner of Parks for Manhattan, delivered a very intesting lecture to a large audience at the United Neighborhood Guild, 176 Nassau street, last night. Mr. Stover showed nearly 500 views of the work that has been going on for the betterment of the parks and also portions that had been restored to Central, Hudson and Carl Schulz Parks. Mr. Stover continued by saying that he had planted a number of trees on Riverside Drive.

Florence Donahue Says 'Mrs. Elizabeth Day Bounced Her From Meeting. CHARGES ASSAULT IN COURT. Trouble May Split Auxiliary Organization to Knights of Columbus. There is trouble brewing-indeed, it 1s almost brewed--among the Daughters of the First Regiment of the Knights of Columbus.

The president of the daughters organization was arraigned before Magistrate Harris in the Adams street court this morning, chaged with having committed a violent assault on a member of the association. The defendant was Mrs. Elizabeth Day, of 364 State street, who has been the president of the daughters of the regiment ever since there were daughters of it, and the complainant was Mrs. Florence Donahue of 159 Court street, one of the original members, who got into a fuss because she wanted to pay some back dues. Mrs.

Day is 40, maybe, and stout, while Mrs. Donahue is very much smaller than she in build. Trouble Started Over Euchre Game. Mrs. Day and Mrs.

Donahue have been cross with each other since a euchre the daughters gave among themselves and friends at the -seventh Regiment Armory about a year ago. There was some misunderstanding over the sale of the tickets, but just who was to blame about it has never come out. Mrs. Donahue spite warmth of between herself resentment" and the president, to attend the meetings, but she had much difficulty in getting Mrs. Day to recognize her, and the president, whose husband, James C.

Day, is treasurer, declined to take Mrs. hue's dues. The bitterness between the two women has resulted in some of the members taking sides against each other and a general split is threatened. The Rev. Father Blake of the St.

Vincent Home for Boys, wag the spiritual adviser of the regimental girls until a short time ago. Father Blake is a man of peace and when the militant disposition of the members became known to him he quietly sent in his resignation as chaplain. So the daughters have been without the friendly counsel of the good man, and there is no other chaplain there now to aid in keeping the peace. The organization started all right, some five years ago, with mutual benefit as the purpose of the association. were 50 cents and the understandinng was that sick members should draw $7 weekly for the initial five weeks of illness and $3.50 for the following three weeks.

It is whispered that some of the sick benefts have never been paid and as a matter of fact there is a civil suit in progress in one of the municipal courts to recover some money that should have been paid for the illness of one of the members. Mrs. Donahue Is Bounced From Meet. ing. The Days remained in office through all of the troubles of the society, and there was criticism over that.

But nobody called an election and the Days continued perpetually. Mrs. Donahue did not want to precipitate disorder when she went to the last meeting, which held in the Knights of Columbus Institute on Hanson place, on Thursday last. She simply wanted to establish her right to be there by paying dues for a year. Mrs.

Day, she says, declined to accept the money, and told her to "get out." But Mrs. Donahue imagined that she had a right there and said so. That was the signal, she says, for bouncing. The bouncer, according to her story, was Mrs. Day, who left her lofty perch as president, and because, pro tempore, sergeantat-arms.

She. seized Mrs. Donahue (says Mrs. Donahue) by the arms and tried to shove her out by force. The president having more weight behind her, and being of muscular disposition besides, just drove her to the door by sheer force.

Day, it is also claimed, had a hand in the ejection, but Mrs. Donahue makes no charge against the man. Dislocated and Bruised Thumb Exhibited in Court. When she was in court this morning, Mrs. Donahue declared that she was all over bruises, and she exhibited a dislocated and bruised thumb as a result of the scrimmage.

It was practically a scrimmage, she says, and she narrowly escaped being thrown downstairs. It was a a marvel that she stopped at the landing. When she was well enough to get about she went to the Adams street court and narrated the tale of woe to Complaint Clerk Donnelly. Magistrate Harris issued a warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Day, and this morning Court Officer Fallon produced her in court.

Mrs. Day had a young lawyer with her, and on her behalf he pleaded not guilty. There will be a cloud of witnesses on either side when case comes up for examination, and the meanwhile the two factions are marshaling their forces in warlike style. Magistrate Harris did not lock up the woman. He paroled her in the custody of her lawyer until 2 o'clock on next Wednesday afternoon, when the story of Mrs.

Donahue will be heard in full. Mrs. says that she did not do anything to Mrs. Donahue, and that there was no force needed to put her out of the meeting. WOODBURY EXPLAINS.

Says State Tax Conference: in Utica Will Not Be a Cut and Dried Affair. Albany, N. December 12-Judge E. E. Woodbury, chairman of the State Board of Tax Commissioners, who will be chairman of the State Tax Conference to be held at Utica, January 12 and 13 next, has given out a statement, correcting erroneous impressions as to the platform and principles of the conference, which says in part: "The conference is called by a com- mittee on arrangements appointed by William G.

Low, president of the New York Tax Reform Association. The committee is composed of A. C. Pleydell and F. L.

Heydecker of New York, and John D. Kernan and William Pierrepont White of Utica. An erroneous impression has arisen in the minds of the people and the press that the platform of the New York Tax Reform Association is the platform of, or upon which, the State Conference at Utica is to be held. This is not the case. The State Conference to be held in Utica has no platform.

It is called for the purpose of discussing present day problems of taxation and obtaining an exchange of views In respect to needed changes in our taxing system, which will cure at least some of the existing evils. It would be fatal mistake to hold such a conference with a view to carrying out some cutand-dried plans. The Utica conference should be. ns It. will be, cast upon the broadest lines and open to the freest discussion." HIPPODROME TEEAT FOR BLIND.
