'Iair. out for the straight Democratic ticket

to prevent another two years of Mayor Low. 1

His friends gay that he thinks he could con-trol ten of the district leaders in a fight againstMcLaughlin. The latter has already plannedto depose McCarren. and will have htm beatenat the spring primaries ami defeated for re-

nomination as Senator.Congressman Lindsay, who has also come out

for the -whole ticket" in opposition to McLnugh-

lin'ts wishes, met su.h a frost in the au. nor.rooms that he turned up his coat collar nnd hur-

iway at once.

Senator IfcCarren received a chilly reception

In the auction room? yesterday, and the doors

of the Inner office were closed to him. He did

not stay loi.^. All he had to say for publica-

tion was:

"After considering the matter. Idon't pee

how we could £0 about countenancing such an

idea now. There Is the question of making the

people, the voters, acquainted With what was

Intended. We would have to educate the people

up to it. and let them know how it wa* pelng

to work, and Idont see how U could be done.The time is too short for all that.

• Then there Ik all this talk about Grout and

Fornes tnklng a Tammany nomination. IfLow

wa«= to be put up on this third ticket the cry

would arise that Low was taking ft Wil'.nuzhby

Street nomination. If the local Democratswnnt to defeat Tammany th»y enn do it by

voting the fusion ticket."The opening meeting of the Democratic enm-

paign in Brook'yn willbe held In the Academy

af Music next week, probably on Friday nipht.

\t that time, according to the present plans

Of the '.eaderF. the puns of the speakers will

•md Grout and Pornea, McClellan may be ig-

nored The leaden would not say yesterday

tbat he would not I•>. As a matter of fact, the

leaders of Willoußhby Street are still very much

"up In the air" on the details of the campaign.

It \m known that Edward M. Shepard is much

in Bympathy with the firm stand that McLaugh-

Un is taklns. An effort is being made to get

him to speak at th.- opentng meeting tn the

Academy. ....Itlooks now U thouph this .s'ranse condition

of affairs woold be found v^ln the campalgn-

tbe Willoughby Street organization in all its

meetings will be fluhtlne for Its own life and

to down Tammany rather than to elect the

Democratic candidate?.It will be pointed out to the voters that the

success Of Murphy means the extinction of the

local Democratic organization and the Tam-

manvization of Brooklyn. The phrase used by a

Tammany orator in the city convention refer-

rfng to Brooklyn as "our defunct sister acrossthe river- willprobably be used from the stump

as showing how that borough is regarded by

Tammany Hall. According to rumor the Kings

County leaders are fully informed of what

transpired in the investigation of the Murphy

Dock Board by the Finance Department, and

also regarding the negotiation which resulted

in McClellan, Croker's choice, being named for

Mayor and Grout and Fornes for Controllerand President of the Board of Aldermen. They

ar«- seriously considering using this informa-

tion from the stump, it is said. Tho campaign

speakers' text book, which is now in process ofpreparation, will be an exceedingly interesting

document.

Ex-Lieutenant Governor Woodruff, who at

first favored the Idea of a thtrd ticket, is nowopposed to it. He paid yesterday that he hadtalked with R. Fulton Cutting and Mayor Low-

on the subject, and added:

Brooklyn Republican* Divided onHaving Law Head It.

To the end that Tammany Hall and theMurphy city ticket may be beaten, the Wil-kxtghby Street organization wiil wnjre a bitterwar. There can be no backdown on their partnow. Itcan be Stated positively that McLaugh-

lin and his lieutenants are negotiatinK for athird ticket, to which willbe ad'led their countyticket, and to which they can throw their votes.

The aßpnts of this movement are certain inde-

pendent Democrats, who say that they are goingto try to persuade Mayor Low to head the.

ticket. IfMr. Low does not consent, their pres-ent Intention is to put an independent Demo-

crat at the head of the ticket. The names ofHenry Georse. Jr.. and of Justice Gaynor arebeing spoken of In thi? connection, but it Is not

known that either of them would consent to

run.

Frightful damage was wrought by the stormin Greenwood Cemetery. There were landslidesat half a dozer, different points, and it will taka

months to replace the ground that has brokenaway, and to repair the damage done. Sad torelate, there may be some damage that cannever be repaired, for many graves on the sideof the hill a few hundred ynrla east of Fifth-ave. have been completely washed away. Head-stones were knocked down by the avalanche of

earth and mud. and In some caaej thrown fifty

feet from th»ir original positions on the hill-<si«le, while the flood of water rushing down from

the steep heights burrowed out the graves.Although a renreaentatlve of Superintendent

Eugeri" Cushman declares that no bodies havebeen lost, the onrushing torrent of water bur-rowed such a deep gully in a portion of thehill where bodsM wen burled that It eeems al-most certain that BOBBS <>f them have beenswept into the lake betow.

Xezi'-Rochciie Fire Chief OrganizesParty to Keep Dam Intact.

That the entire village of North Pelham wasnot wiped out suddenly in the storm jKliilijand scores of people drowned was due to thefact that James Ross, Chief of Urn Ne'.v-Ro-chelle Fire Department, prevented the bursting

of a large dam containing thirty million gallons

of water. The dam holds back Sha waters of alarge lake on the estate of the late Major Berg-holz. The dam is on Lathers Hill,at Xew-Ro-chelle.

Chief Ross got word that the spillway of thedam had become clogged up, and that the waters

were beginning to break over the embankment.He jumped into his rire wagon and drove from>*ew-Kochelle to the .iiergholz estate, where hefound that some boys' had stopped up the spill-way, and that the rapidly rising water had al-ready torn away twelve foet of the rthworkiacross the top of the dam. Other parts of thedam were beginning to cave in. and Chief Booa,realizing tlio danger to the people below, rushedabout the neighborhood and gathered a force ofmen. The men attacked the spillway withshovels and picks, ajid at the risk of their livesopened It up so that the water coull flowthrouKh and relieve the prersure on the dam.
