Mishaps, Structure Trouble Reroute Trains the line tunnel under the Blast River is expected to continue for a week while the Manhattan Bridge is repaired, officials said. The first accident was the derailment of a Brooklyn-bound work train on the Williamsburg Bridge at which forced a and an train trailing it to grind to a halt on the bridge, Transit Authority spokesman Bob Previdi Baid. There were no injuries, he said. In the second accident, the No. 7 line was interrupted for about an hour when a woman jumped in front of a Queens-bound train at the Vernon-, Jackson Avenues station shortly after 2 p.m., and was struck by the train, Previdi said.

The unidentified woman was taken to Elmhurst Hospital, he said. A hospital official said the woman was being held for observation. The cause of the third delay was trouble on the Manhattan Bridge that was discovered late Wednesday and yesterday morning during a routine inspection, said City Department of Transpor tation spokesman Joseph DePlasco. Consultants working for the state found deteriorated steel stringers and damaged expansion joints under the tracks on the south side of the bridge, used solely by the line, DePlasco Baid. Repairs have begun and are expected to take about a week.

Officials said yesterday that an inspection this weekend of the Manhattan Bridges northside tracks would reroute the and trains. Riders may call (718) 330-1234 for details. By Michael Moss STAFF WRITER Chaos struck the subways yesterday in three separate areas when a work train derailed on the Williamsburg Bridge, a No. 7 train truck a woman in Long Island City and all train riders were rerouted to avoid the Manhattan Bridge, which is plagued by structural problems, officials said. Also affected yesterday was service on the and lines.

The church congregation yesterday issued a statement Baying: As a congregation we were shocked and sad dened to learn of the latest development in the investigation of Dr. Robert Reza involving our church organist, Kathy Senese. Mrs. Senese has resigned from her after Kathy J.

Senese, 36, the organist at New Life Community Church in Why Did Cuomo Make Fiscal Threat? BUDGET from Page 7 position as church organist, and that resignation has been accepted by the church board. We are praying for her through this difficult time and hope she will worship here as she seeks to rebuild her life. Senese, who said she left her husband and three children in July and now lives with her mother, told the Suffolk Homicide Squad of her affair the day after Rezas arrest, and police said they believe the relationship was a contributing factor in the killipg. In his 12-page confession, Reza told police he killed his wife because he was frustrated with life and could not deal with success. Marilyn Reza, 47, was discovered shot in the head and strangled in the couples Bayport home after she failed to show up for work at her husbands Patchogue medical office.

Her husband was in Washington when he was notified of the murder, but detectives said they unraveled an elaborate plan to build himself an alibi. Homicide detectives said Reza left for the capital on Monday, returned Tuesday night and killed his wife, then took a train back to Washington. Reza is due back in court Jan. 10. the next fiscal year.

A third effect was that Cuomo sent a message to a much wider audience of labor and civic leaders and opinion shapers. That message was that the state and city are realty strapped for money, and every sector should lower its expectations of government. Cuomo made his initial remarks Wednesday as he reluctantly approved pension legislation that would help the city pay the 5.5 percent wage increase it recently negotiated with the union representing city schoolteachers. The governor said he had asked the Dinkins administration to withdraw the legislation until after the dty releases its proposed budget in January. The Dinkins administration refused.

and Cuomo said he decided to sign the bill because a veto would raise questions over how the teachers contract would be funded, making the citys financial picture even murkier. But in signing the bill, the governor took a swipe at the dty by warning that its current projection of an additional $329 million in state aid next year was unrealistic, and that the dty should not indude it in the budget. If the dty does not change its illusory reliance on the additional state aid, it will be risking the independence and control we all wish the dty to maintain, Cuomo said. William Bunch, D.D. Gutienplan and Jennifer Preston contributed to this story.

which could enable the Financial Control Board, on which the governor sits, to seize control of the citys finances. That happened during the citys mid-1970s fiscal crisis. That would place the governor, whose own budget woes are arguably even worse than Dinkins, right in middle of the citys financial problems. It also put the Dinkins administration on notice that Cuomo was willing to play hardball and risk a public fight with the mayor, with whom he has had cordial relations to date. Another effect was that Cuomo told Dinkins not to count on additional state aid to balance the 'citys budget for i Shootout Witness Smelled Beer, Marijuana SHOOTING from Page 2 McClures identity yesterday, he was contacted and acknowledged that he had spent 5V4 hours Wednesday at Nassau police headquarters in Mineola, L.I., looking at photographs of suspects providing authorities with his account of the shooting.

McClure Baid he was unable to identify any of the shooters. I figure it all the shooting was connected to the drinking and the marijuana, said McClure, who explained that he saw the members of the group that later were involved in the shooting drinking beer before the shooting began. When he returned with police later in the evening, he said, police found a bag of marijuana and beer bottles next to shell casings in the aisle where several of the shooters were sitting. Police declined to comment on this aspect. McClure said that one group of men involved in the shooting had been sitting in the front row of the middle section of the theater when they began mimmicking actors in the gangster film, the third in a series that chronicles the fictitious Corleone crime family.

McClure said the second group of young men, who were seated in the fifth row of the left section of the theater, stood up and yelled, Shut the up. Were the group. Although McClure was seated across the theater from the second group and could not hear precisely the language used, he said yesterday that he believed they were identifying themselves either as a gang or residents of a housing project where they lived. Cocks would not rule out McClures interpretation, but he said that police have no direct knowledge that it involved organized gangs or people from housing projects. Nearly an hour into the showing of The Godfather Part III, on the films opening night at file theater, the noisy confrontation turned violent after the group of men in the middle section of the front row split into two groups.

One group headed to the left-side exit door and the other walked around the back of the theater and down the left-hand aisle, toward the second group. Witnesses said one man standing in the front of the theater with the first group fired a shot into the air. But McClure Baid yesterday that he believes someone in the fifth row shot first. He said the gun sounded like a Mac 10. In the ensuing scene, the groups were shooting everywhere, McClure said.

People were falling to the ground. Jackets, shoes, wallets, pocket-books, popcorn, and Cokes were flying everywhere. Its like someone put 700 people in a dark room, gave 10 people guns and told them to start shooting. McClures version of events was supported by Fred Candelaria, 26, of Long Beach, L.I., who accompanied his brother and sister-in-law to see the 3 show that night. The place reeked of marquana, Candelaria said yesterday.

They both were reported in gj stable condition last night. 5 Fred Candelaria declined to say whether the shooters were smoking marijuana or drinking beer.

Although police have' made no arrests, investigators said yesterday they are making progress. Det.

Sgt. William Cocks of the Nassau County homicide squad said McClure and about 11 other people who had been in the theater contacted police, and investigators spent the day yesterday taking statements. Cocks confirmed that detectives found beer bottles littering the floor of theater 8 at the Sunrise Multiplex Cinemas after they responded to calls about the shootings involving two groups of young men arguing over noise. He would not comment on marijuana use, but other witnesses interviewed yesterday by New York News-day agreed with McClure that the smell of marijuana was evident that night. Theater employees declined to to say whether there was drug and alcohol use in the theater that night.

However, Cocks would not rule out drugs and alcohol as motives in the shootings.
