NEWEST PHASE IN SITUATION. SHEA'S REQUEST FOB. $1,000,000 MAY NOT BE GRANTED. Debt Limit Has Been Reached To All Intents and Purposes $50,000 on Preliminary Work Has Been Wasted. The engineering oorps under the direction of Chief Engineer Samuel T.

Probasco, has finished all the moorings for the New East River Bridge, known as bridge No. 3. This is the bridge, the Brooklyn terminal of which, is to be at the foot of Adams street, and the Manhattan terminal at Pike's Slip. When this bridge was first suggested, the question of site was a large factor, and much secrecy was maintained as to its location. Many thought that the Brooklyn end of the bridge would be at the foot of Hudson avenue, and real estate owners of that locality were greatly interested, but by the selection of the Brooklyn terminal pier at the foot of Adams street, there hopes were dashed to the ground, and the property holders of the latter neighborhood were Jubilant.

The situation to-day Is such as to produce discouragement for all concerned in the erection of the bridge, for, as a matter of fact, the bridge may never be erected. This fact was brought out to-day in a conversation between a Times reporter and one of the engineers, who has been in the work of the preliminary surveys. The appropriation of $60,000, awarded for these preliminary surveys, soundings and borings, has been all used up, and the work has been brought to a standstill. The sites have been decided upon, and the Department of Bridges is repdy to go ahead with the construction, but there Is no money with which to prosecute the work, and from present Indications there Is little likelihood of there being any. Bridge Commissioner John L.

Shea has asked for an appropriation of for the construction of the bridge, and at the time there was every likelihood of lte going through, but now It looks as If the bridge would hardly be built at least for some years to come. Comptroller Bird S. Coler's statement that the debt limit was reached, and that no money would be available before July 1, has put the construction of the bridge In the background. Besides this condition of affairs, the fact that the Comptroller favors tunnels instead of bridges, leads to the conclusion that bridge No. will not be built, at least until after the construction of the East River tunnel, so that the J50.000 used In deciding where the location of the bridge should be, have, to all praotlcal Intents and purposes; been wasted.

MRS. LONSDALE NOT GUILTY. Jury Believed Woman Accused of Bigamy a Victim of Conspiracy. The case of Mrs. Nettle Lonsdale, accused of bigamy, In the County Court yesterday, was concluded toward evening.

At the close of the testimony the Jury retired and remained out only ten minutes. When they returned and announced the verdict, "Not gujlty," Mrs. Lonsdale fainted, falling from her chair to the floor. 8he was quickly revived, and left court with her friends, after being discharged. The testimony adduced during the trial convinced the Jury that Mrs.

Lonsdale was the victim of a conspiracy. She told of her husband leaving her, and said he avowed he woutd get rtd of her If It cost him all his money. She could remember nothing about the alleged ceremony with Johannus Mason, which resulted In her being arraigned on the charge of bigamy. She declared he was a boarder, who persisted In his efforts to marry her, which she always declined. On the night of the alleged ceremony, she declared, he brought In some claret, of which she drank three glasses, and remembered nothing afterwards.

She also testified that Mr. Lonsdale had brought previous action for divorce against her on the grounds of infidelity, which she also won. The Rev. Mr. StockdaJe testified to having married her to Mason, and said she gave the name of Nettle Johnson on that occa sion.

After other testimony for the prosecution, the case was given to the Jury, with the result noted. BEDFORD INS. Little Children Show What They Have Learned in a Year.

The particular part of the programme that evoked considerable applause was the pres entation of the prizes. As the children marched to the front In response to their names they were handed some pleasing remembrance of the good work they had done. They then ambled up to the platform. where after they had been appropriately grouped, flowers were distributed among them.

Bearing the horticultural tributes In their arms, the children marched In single file around the hall. The programme consisted of French, Ger man and English recitations and exhibitions of physical culture. The children who took part were: Fannie M. Adams, Robert M. Brandt, Fannie S.

21ST STREET, N. Y. THE EASTERN DISTRICT PARK. To be Pushed Before the Board of Public Improvements. The committee of twenty-five which IsTur-thering the movement to have a park located In the Fourteenth, Fifteenth end Seven-tenth Wards, is preparing to have the matter adjusted so that the proposition can be submitted to the local Board of Improvements within a week In order that the question may be taken up before the summer adjournment of that body.

All of the residents of the three wards are heartily In favor of the proposed park and the various sub-committees which were appointed at a meeting some time ago to advance the movement In the districts have been working earnestly In getting the merchants, clergymen and politicians interested In the matter. Meetings have been held In the wards, the two Boards of Trade have put themselves on record as being In favor of the park and everything Is going on smoothly. The sub-committee appointed from the Seventeenth Ward held a meeting last night at Masonic Temple, corner of Manhattan and Meserole avenues. Assemblyman Thos. Hawkins, one of the members of th committee, presided and Julius Manhelm was selected as Secretary.

The attendance was not as large as was expected and the weather was neld responsible for this. At the opening of the meeting, a letter of regret was read from the Rev. Louis T. McGinn, of St. Anthony R.

C. Church. John J. Clancy first spoke about the proposed park. "I came here to-night," said Mr.

Clancy, "simply as a looker on, expecting that I would be able to report to the larger committee how the work was progressing here. I find that projects of this kind are projects In which everybody should be interested. There are two sides to be considered In this question. First, Is a park desirable and If It Is desir able, what are the proper methods to adopt? From what I have learned the people believe that It Is a good thing and they want Continuing, Mr. Clancy declared that all those Interested In the movement should consider It an Individual work and bring all powers to bear on the members of the dif ferent Boards of Improvements so that the proposition could be advanced rapidly.

"If you Impress the men with the idea," he said, "that the first park site to be considered by the department is this one, we will be successful." Mr. Clancy said that men of all classes were Interested In the movement. There were no politics In It and ministers and priests were In favor of It. Bartley Wright, who was the next speaker, suggested thst a more public meeting be held In a large hall and that the meetings be advertised. He said that Wlnthfop Park was only an apology for a park and that there was practically no pleasure ground near the proposed site.

George W. Palmer Bald that If the matter was allowed to rest until the fall the work that has been accomplished would have to be gone all over again. He remarked that President Grout was going to leave for Europe shortly and that he would be awuy for two or three months. Mr. Palmer thought that It would be a good scheme to prepare the matter so that It could be presented to the local Board of Improvements within a week and that It might be acted upon before Mr.

Grout left for abroad. He then Introduced a resolution endorsing and advocating the establishment of a park within the boundaries proposed or enlarge the same if the Board deems It desirable. The motion was adopted. Mr. Palmer, continuing, said that If the residents get the park they will be as proud of It as the people In South Brooklyn are of Prospect Park.

He announced that the sub-committee would report at the meeting to be held at the Seymour Club on Friday night, that the Seventeenth Ward was In favor of the park. Assemblyman Hawkins said that as soon as some action Is taken by the local Board of Improvements and he believed It would be favorable, the people would take a deeper interest In tne project People passing through the neighborhood on cars form a poor opinion of the district, he declared. The meeting adjourned subject to the call of the chair. A Campaign of Talking Machines. WASHINGTON, June 13.

HAD NERVOUS PROSTRATION. ENDED HIS XIFE IN HIGHLY SENSATIONAL MANNER. Bought Drinks for the Crowd Just Be- for He Died Warned Crowd It Would be Last Time. William Wheeler, a well-known cable operator, ended his life early this morning in a manner suggestive of the typical Parisian boulevard suicide who despatches himself with great eclat.

Mr. Wheeler began a spree two weeks ago to get rid of nervous prostration. Last night Wheeler entered a Washington street resort, near Concord street He had more than enough before lie entered the place, but he had money to spare. There were a number of barroom loungers In the saloon. Wlieeler asked them to drink with him, adding the venerable barroom chestnut, We'll be dead a long time." His Invitations to drink were greedily accepted and his new-made friends laughed heartily at his slightest attempt at humor.

A laugh meant a drink for all who laughed. Wheeler was a fine musician. There was a piano In the rear of the room. Wheeler sat down at It, and played several pieces In excellent style, finishing which he ordered another round of drinks. At length he said: Boys, I going to play my last tune," and then he reeled off Mascagnl's beautiful Intermezzo from Cavallerla Rustlcana In a manner that appealed to even men who had no conception of music beyond ragtime airs.

When Wheler spoke of playing his last tune, those who heard him thought meant that he was going to stop playing and start for home. Wheeler stood up, took a bottle of carbolic acid from his pocket, and drank every drop of It. He fell to the floor and died pending the arrival of an ambulance which a policeman who had been summoned telephoned for. Wheeler was about forty years of age and for several years was employed at the cable office, 16 Broad street, Manhattan. He was one of the night managers and In receipt of a good salary.

For several months past Wheeler also worked In the day time for a Wall street Arm. He boarded at 191 Adams street Working day and night told on Wheeler's constitution and he was seized with nervous prostration. One afternoon he returned from Manhattan utterly worn out. He told his landlady that he could keep up pace no longer. He said incidentally (hat he would get a long leave of absence and go to Parle.

A few days later he broke 'out on the spree that ended so tragically this morning. Wheeler was the son of a I wealthy hotel keeper who lives In Halifax, CapL Dunn telegraphed the news to Wheeler's father to-day and he sent word to have the body sent on to Halifax. Un-'dertaker Henderson prepared the body for burial and will ship it to-night. CUT THROAT WITH RAZOR. Despondent Packer Commits Suicide in Wife's Absence.

White waited until his wife and two young children had left the house before I taking his life. When she returned shortly after 10 o'clock Mrs. White found her hus-Ifcand on the floor In the" kitchen with a big gash In his throat She' summoned as-; slstance and Dr. Allen was called from St.

Catharine's Hospital. When he arrived the 1 man was dead. White was a dry goods packer, but lately he has not been working. He was laid off bout a week ago and since then he has been very despondent. His wife Is unable to give any further reason for his deed.

SCHOOL AND BRIDGE BONDS. Council and Aldermen Failed to Favor Their Issue as Yet. Another unsuccessful effort was made at the meeting of the Council yesterday afternoon to pass the $3,600,000 school bond Issue, authorised early in the year by the Board of Estimate, The motion to approve was defeated by -a vote of 20 to 3, twenty-two votes being necessary, the three negative IgWes toeing cast by Messrs. Ftrancisco, Williams and Cassldy. The failure of the Board of Aldermen yos- terday to pass the (4,000,000 bond issue for the use of the New East River Bridge Commission was a decided disappointment to the administration, and also to those Brooklynltes- who have the welfare of the development of the section which the bridge will benefit, at heart.

Aldermen Molnnes, Wirth, Holler, Downing and Alt, said that they would do all In their power to get the resolution out of the Committee on Bridges and Tunnels and have it Immediately acted upon at the meeting Oa July 10.

BIG JUDGMENT SUSTAINED. Bush Company Must Fay Gibbons Some $68,000. The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court yesterday handed down a decision sus taining the verdict of the Jury before Judge Dickey in the action of Gibbons vs.

Tho Bush Company, Limited, by which the plaintiffs secured a judgment against the defendants for the sum of $68,000 and Interest, an aggregate sum of more than J72.0OO. The action was brought to recover a bal ance due on contracts for the erection of defendant's storehouses on Forty-first and Forty-second streetB and the river front. The Bush Company refused payment upon com pletion of the buildings, because, they claimed, the storehouses had not been finished within the time specified. In answer the plaintiffs, through their attorney. Charles J.

Patterson, claimed that the delay was caused by the action of the Bush Company In refusing to allow them to proceed with the work, and In appropriating, without the consent of the plaintiff, certain timbers designed for the completion of the buildings. These timbers were used by the defendants in the construction of a private dock. Th trlaf of the action consumed one week, and resulted In a verdict for the plaintiffs for the full amount of the damages claimed. JOHN F. MAGTTIRE RESIGNS.

Will be Boarded at Summer Place -of Two Troop Members. Messrs. Weir and McLeer, of Troop C. have Just closed negotiations with William M. Thomas, a Manhattan real estate agent, for the lease of his farm on Broadway, Bay-side, L.

I. The place Is known as the Daniel Lawrence farm, and contains about twenty acres of good pasturage and has plenty of barn room. The horses of the troop, which are always turned out to grass In the summer-time to recuperate after their hard winter's work, will be boarded at the farm during the warm months. It is expected that the horses will be taken to the Lawrence farm early next week. The lease of the Long Island farm nasi nothing to do with any further plan for a summer headquarters for the troop.

That 1 Idea will probably not be revived; not this year at any rate. The lease Is merely a per sonal matter. Mr. and Mrs. Weir and Mr.

McLeer and his sister will which Is within easy access to the city. Two or tnree or the troop members may board with them during the whole or part of the summer, but this Is not sure. As Messrs. Weir and McLeer have a. nur.

sonal Interest In the troop the horses will be' well cared for and the farm otherwise meets all the requirements of Its lessees. MARKED COINS BAITED TRAP. Now Saloon Keeper's Servant Is Accused of Systematic Pilfering. Alolsa Petschauer, twenty-two years old, a servant for John Leister, a saloon keeper at 211 Graham avtmue, was arrested last night by Detective Schaeiter after. It Is alleged, some marked coins had been found In the domestic's room.

Leister claimed the money had been stolen from him. The saloon keeper had been missing money for some time, and It was only recently that he suspected his servant.
