IiAkkwood, Dec 7. In the closing day of tha campaign for a Mayor of Greater Ken York the saw paper told of the break between Richard Croker nnd John C. Sheehan. Various reasons were glvon for the discord betweon Mr. Croker and Mr.

Sheehan, but the true reason was ascertained t6-dny. It Is summed up in the words: Itlchard Croker does not con sider John C. Sheehan a truthful man." Mr. Sheehan and his friends hare nil alonir contended that there was no serious difference lietwoen himself and Mr. Croker.

As a matter of fact, It was made known to day, Mr. Sheehan tnteht as well return to Buffalo and remain there, for In a short timo bo trill have no influ ence whatever, oven In his own district, on the political fortunes of Tammany Hall. Tho true story of how Mr. Croker carao to discredit nnd distrust Mr. Shccbnn was told to-day for tho first time.

It appears that a number of the personal friends of ex-Mayor Hush J. Grant desired very much that ho should bo nom- inated for Mayor of Greater New York. Mr. Grant hlmsolf, objoctcd. Ho had been Mayor of New York, and was awaro of tho hardships of tho place.

Moreover, it was an oxpensivo place to All for a yonng married man bent on securing a fortuno In business opera-I tions for a crowing family. Nevertheless Mr. Grant's friends very much desired that ho should it be nominated, and thor ascertained after a can- ws that a majority of tho Tammany Hall dls- trlct leaders wero favorable to Mr. Grant. The chief Tammany Hall man who was Interested in bringing about the nomination of Mr.

Grant was ex-Pollco Justlco Daniel F. McMahon. A few days before Justlco Van Wyck was nom- inated Mr. McMahon and his friends called on J. Mr.

Croker and told him how very much they IP deslrod Mr. Grant's nomination. "But Mr. Sheehan tells me," replied Mr. Croker, that the organization li not favorable to "That is not true," replied Mr.

McMahon. rf Notwithstanding this, Justlco Van Wyck's friends bad by that time Impressed Mr. Croker with the running abilities of Mr. Van Wyck, t. and the programme could not be changed.

At a I meeting cf Tammany nien though, which was beM the next night, and which was attended, iv, among others, by Mr. Croker, Mr. Sheehan, and lKt Mr- MnMahon. Mr. Sheehan arose and said in jf substance: ML "It has been sld that I have mode the state- ment that the organization Is opposed to the t- nomination of Mr.

Grant. I wish to say that A that statement is not true." rL "It true that you made that statement. Mr. i Sheehan." said Mr. McMahon, jumping to his ti 147 fFet "nd I Tetn to Mr- Croker to substan- tiale my remark." -TAB I asmuch as Mr.

Sheohan had told Mr. Croker m- that the organization was opposod to the noml- i notion of Mr. Grant, those who attended the meeting left it more or less embarrassed. But from that instant Mr. Croker decided to re- assmno tho reins of leadership of Tammany Hall.

Ho could not trust Mr. Sheehan further. B. Another chapter In this history Is that Mr. SlcMabon during tho campaign wanted Mr.

H'f; Urolter to take up his old place as a dally visitor to Tammany Hall, and that Mr. Sheehan, when bo heard of this, aald: "If that man goes to Tammany Hall I will I i resign." "man" Mr. Sheehan referred to was Richard Croker. Mr. Croker heard of tho real mark and promptly went to Tamm array Hall, v' and it is a matter of past history how the Tam-aT- many leaders jumped up and down in their joy to welcome him.

Richard Croker'a friends, iti telling these ErT stories of how he came to decide to drop John F. C. Sheehan ont of the window, said that the Tanntmny leaders had never been In sympathy iR. with Mr. 8hoehan.

Mr. 8heeban, In his talks with Mr. Croker." said ono of the highest authorities, "has always condemned us. He never had a kind word to say of us. He was always nasty in bis orltlcisms of us.

All the time ha was try- 1 )ng to get contracts for himself. All the time he was importing men from Buffalo, wbose sole ofW aim in the long run was to undermina us in kff eT0I7, "ay imaginable. Mr. Croker does not jSK. consider It neceasary to Ha to us.

and whon ho took his stand against Mr. Sheehan he made it nppnrent that he would not allow Mr. Sheehan TC'tm. to lie to him, either about Mr. Grant or any of us." is.

A puff ot smoke caused them to close it quickly and bustlo down to tho telegraph room In tho basoment, whoro an alarm uaa sent to Fire Hall over tho private wlro. Thoro was no indication of flro from tho street at that time, and two rutnutos later persons standing on tho stoop wore surprised by tho arrival ot tho firemen.

Soon, however, flames burst through skylight in tho roof, and tho flromon got to work In a Jlfly. Throo line) of hoso were dragged up tho stairs, and in about tnonty minutes tho flro was extinguished. It originated in tho vicinity of tho photographer's dark room. uhlcu was gutted, and tho two adjoining rooms wcro alio partly burned out. President Moss's room and tho stationery department on tho third floor and the cashier's ofllco on tho second floor cro considerably damaged by water.

Water also got into Chief Mc-Cullagh's ofllco nnd into that ot his clerks. Commissioner Smith vtas in his room at the time of the fire. "Fire seems to follow mo whororer I go," ho said, "If you remember I was with Mayor Strong at Richflold Springs last summer whon the hotel was burned." Tha other Commissioners and Chief McCul-lagh wcro notlflod by telephone. It was feared at first that tho entiro vtork ot tho Bcrtlllon system was destroyed. Sergeant Howe, tho superintendent, mado an Insnection ot the rooms and reported that all the measurements and pictures wero safe and that but few ot tho 1,120 negatives wero broken.

The heat, however, may have rendorod them useless. The polico estimated tho damage at $2,000. The firemen thought it would bo greater. Tho building is owned by the Police Department and Is not Insured. The firemen thought tho Are was due to the overheating ot a door near the gas Jet that was used to shed light through a red glass window into the dark room.

Sergeant Rowe said that tha burner had not been used slnco Saturday. RESCUED VrirjC ASB CIILLDREX. Aa ascent or a Smoke-Filled Shan and a swing to a neighboring Roor. EuzABETn, N. Deo.

Fire was discovered at 7:10 o'clock this evening in the basement, which wes nearly filled with a stock of Christmas toys and novelties. These burned rapidly and smoke poured into the elevator shaft. Burlew was on the first floor when the flro Iran ftticovare.fi nnd at: nnrn atArtert tnr hla rooms where his family lire.

Ho found the elevator shaft tilled with smoke, but he Jumped Into the car and started It up. He was almost overcome when the fifth floor was nearly reached, and to add to his difficulties the car stopped. It was so near the opening on the fifth floor, however, that Burlew succeeded In crawling out of It. He then made his way up to tho next floor by way of tho stairs whloh circle the elevator shaft. When he reached his rooms he found bis wife and two children in one of the rooms nearly suffocated.

With great difficulty he succeeded in vetting tha three down one flight of stairs and into a rear room. He closed the door and opened a window. Tha fresh air revived his wife and children. Then by a perilous undertaking Burlew succeeded in swinging from the window ledge to the roof of the building next the Dix building. His wife handed him the children and then Burlew helped her to the roof.

Afterward he broke In a skylight ot the building and got down to the street. By the time ba reached the street the Are hod been extinguished. It started from an electrlo light wire. Tho damage to the building by fire was less than $1,000, but many of the goods wero damaged. PRESIDENT'S MOTHER ALL 1X3.

As ho entered tho bed chamber Miss Helen McKinley. who was standing by the bedside, said: "Mother, here are William and Ida." Mrs. McKlnley's eyes opened, and Bho looked at ber son. As tho President knolt byhcrbcdsldo she raised her arm and placoed it around bis neck, and yielding to the almost Imperceptible pressure he leaned over and kissed her. Whon the President rose from his placo Mrs.

McKinley reached out ber hand to the President's wife, and the pressure of her Angers on those ot tbo younger woman told the latter that she also had been rocognlzed. A like token of recognition was given to Miss Mabel McKinley, one of her favorite granddaughters, and to others who came to-day, Dr, Phillips, the attending physician, was In tho room at the time, and said that tho rally mado hy tho aged patient was one of the most remarkable in the history of thedlsoase. Soon after recognizing the Presidential party Mrs. McKlnley's eyes closed again, and with a sigh sbesank os if into a deep sleep. She has re-mMned in that condition ever since.

Ever since his arrival the Presldont has been In close attendance at tho sick bed. Ho only left It In the early evening to take a short walk with his brother. ZAWRXXaR UAXLET Z.V TROUBLE. HU Wire Sues far Divorce ana Hn Has Dean Discharged Tram Theatre Company, St. Loom, Dec 7.

7. The further report to day on tho capture ot Gulsa by Gen. Garcia confirms yesterday's despatch; and the report adds that the entiro garrison of the town, composed of 800 men, died heroically without surrendering. Only forty-Ate Spanish soldlors survived, and they were mado prisoners by Gen. Garcia.

Tho Spanish official report describes tho ter-rlAo effects ot the pneumatlo dynamlto gun used by Gen, Garcia. The insurgonts flrod seventy-two dynamlto shots on tho forts. Each shot wrought terrible havoc Tho gun was operatod at a short distanco from the town. Not a huuse remains In Gulsa. All wero blown to pieces.

Besides the dynamite gun tho Insurgents used two Held pieces, six and eight pounders. Gen. Garcia sent word to theSpanlards before the hombardmont that thoy would bo pardoned if they would surrender. The only answer was a shout ot "Longltvo Spain and a general volley from all tho forts. The destruction of the town was completed in twelvo hours.

Besides the 800 regular troops therowcro nt Gulsa some 300 others, militia and volunteers. The total loss of tho patriots is not exactly known, but it is large. Col. Tovar, who arrived with his column to rescue Gulsa, reports that it was tcr- riDio to see mo aeaa ODnnisn soiaiara nan ounca under tho rubbish ot tho forts. Col.

Tovar commands tho Spanish brigade of Manzanlllo. Ho attacked the insurgonts at Piodras, and fought tho battle that was reported in The Svh on last Saturday. According to Tovar's report he dislodged Garcia from his positions. It Is said In ofllclal Spanish circles here that all danger to Bayarao is over now that Gen. Pando has arrived in Manzanlllo.

Gen. Pando arrived to-day In Manzanlllo, Santiago do Cuba province, whence ho sent a long cable despatch to Gen. Blanco. Gen. Pando reports tho continuous fighting of his column against the Insurgents since Nov.

23, especially with the forces of Gen. Gomez in Santa Clara province Ho also gives his first Impressions about tho war in Santiago do Cuba, declaring that the Insurgents aro numerous, well armed, and daring. It is generally believed that Gon. Pando's intention is to begin an actlvo campaign against Gens. Garcia and Rabi, and to protect Bayamo and all the towns threatened by Gen.

Garcia in tho interior ot the province. His arrival atM-n-zamllo has caused a great doal ot enthusiasm among the Spanish there, who were panio stricken over the nows of the destruction of Gulsa. If Gen. Pando starts for Bayamo severe fighting is expected on tho mad between tho two small towns of PeraloJos and Barrancos, whero tho insurgents aro very strong. Pando was welcomed to Manzanlllo by tho Governor nnd the municipality and delivered an address that tended to arouse tho hopes of lho Spanish loyalists.

The town of Gulsa had 8,000 Inhabitants. It was only six miles i om Bayamo. It had a military commander and government entirely distinct from those of Bayamo. In Bayamo tho Spanish garrison numbers 3,000 men, and It is strange that no attempt was mado from Bayamo to save Gulsa from utter destruction. nvBBAirn waxtb 9100,000.
