tho Metropolitan Traction Company and the
I Third avenue railroad need expect no favors,
since whatever franchises may be given out
for tho next (ow years have, been pledged

that tho deal with tho McLaughlin outfit In

The undoubted object of tho mcetlnc was to

they said or talkod concerning It was not made
public, for at 11 :30 It was formally announced
that they had nothing to sny concerning It.
Candidnte Low refuted to talk about It. Mr.

Itlchard Croker Is pleased with bis county
ticket nominated at Tammany Hall on Thurs
day, and said at tho Murray Hill Hotel last
evening that bo considered it a stlon
ono. Ho asked his visitors what they
thought about the relative strength ot Gen.
Tracy nnd SethLowns Mayoralty candidates,
and ho declared that Van Wyck will havo more
votes than will be polled for both of them. Tho
Tnmmany loader then drifted lo his local issues
and said:
"The Republican reformers nro for closing
everything excepting tho streets. Tbey keep
them wldo open, except for traftlc"
Mr. Croker laughed at this conceit, nnd re
pented it as though ho liked the sound of It.
I Mr. Croker laughed nt the report that Bird
S. Color, Democratic candidate for Comptroller,
may be withdrawn. John C. Shechan dcclurcd
i that thcro is no intention to withdrew Color.
Mr. Coler hjd several enrnest confabs

Mr. Shechan Is still "mentioning" Randolph
Guggenheimcr ns the possible successor to Col.
Ruppert on tho ticket. It is known, however,
that Mr. Ouggenhclmer Is considered an im
possibility b the Tammany leaders
Just -vhom Mr. Croker has up his sleeve will

the Hoffman House to till the varnncy. No ono

declination to run as Comptroller is read nnd a

declared.

at tbe Fifth A enue Hotel to-night. Ho laid
yesterday:
"It Is seldom that I pay attention to tbo false
hoods that are printed about me. In tho tint
place I have no time to do so, and ln the second
place I have no Inclination, for tbe reason that
a falsehood injures no ono exiept the man who
utters It. But thorn has been one falsehood
printed about me within the last forty-eight
hours which Is bo mean and so utterly uncalled
for that I am constrained to speak of it. Tho
Herald on Thursday Bald: 'Senator Piatt said
yestorday to men who wero oeeking to bring
about union: "I would prefer Tammany suc
cess to tho election of Beth Low." '
"This isn convenient way of printing false
hoods from anonymous sources. A Herald re
porter called on mo Thursday afternoon, and I
called his uttontion to tho falsehood which his
riper had printed about me. Ho promised faith
fully to see that tbe statement was corrected,
after I had Informed him that It was utterly
false. Ho has not kept bis promise."

Tho Worth and nntl-Worth linos In tho Re

appeared and both fictions nto now working
harmoniously to carrv Gen. Tracy nnd nil his
associates on tho ticket to v Ictory. Tbo Execu
tive Commltteo, which County Clerk Jacob
Worth still control j. has cut away from the
Citizens' Union candidate, now that It has been
clearly demonstrated that Hctli Low Is not tho
"unlfyiug force" lo inlly nil thoniiti-Taunuuny

will now reecho tho Injnl support of tho or

at tho meeting of the County Commltteo next

will Indorse Gen. Tracy and all tho regular Re

Gen. Tracy has Indeed provod himself a genu
ine "unifying force," so fnr as tho w nrrlng Repub

Sheriff William J. Ruttling.w ho w as CountyClcrk
Worth's chief lieutenant ln thu fierce Internal
contest which at ono time threatened to dis

personal wlidics nnd prejudices, has taken off
his coat and Is doing gallant work for tho ticket.
Mr. Worth himself has also steadfastly re
fused to be drawn Into tho Ctta nhcpnrdlto tolls
through tho decoy methods adopted by that
composite collejtlon of dlsgruntleil Murfwumps
Perhaps the most significant Illustration of
the reforming of tho Republican lines around
the Tracy Btnndard was furnished yosterday
by the Brookljn Tunri, which ln th. beat uf

Tho Time had all along been m earnest sup

took up tho Investigation of tho problem of
c hnnglng tho vicious modes of transportation of
Iho stock and its slaughter for m rkct, and
adapted tho business to tho growth of the great
cities of the nation. Ho planned the abbat
tolr from a poor French system, and so Im
proved it that It has gono Into general

utllltv. Ho Invented, perfected, nnd put into
prnctlco new dovlces and principles ln the treat
ment of animal matter. Ho found droves of
catto passing along tho streets and highways,
greatly endangering Ufa; slaughter houses
scattered all about nnd great nuisances whero
tbey existed. All this h'o changed by making
largo storago places for cattlo where thev wore
received directly from the cars, and then slaugh

and enre, nnd tho dressed product transferred
ln tho oaslest manner to tho points of consutnp

Caused at Iba Ilottom or the Elevator Shaft
The Llclits In the Bestntirnat Put Out.
A pastcngcr elevator In tho Hotel Waldorf
fell jistirday nftcrnoon from tho seventh to
tho ground floor. Tho right leg of Mlrhaol
Clark of 2.10 Fast Fortj -third rlroel, who
wni ln chargo of tho car, was broken. Paul
J. Sell liber, hnuil accountant lu tho restaurant,
was blnkcn up, hut was not scrlousl) hurt.
'Iho o two were tho only occupants of tho car.
Tl o m eldent happened n few minutes after 4 '
o'clock and mudcd ft slight tunic In tho hotel,
ns tho clovntnr's fnll broko somo electrlo
light wires, extinguishing tho lights In tho
rcstnurnnt and sotting fire to tbo bottom of
tho Ucuitur thaft. Quiet soon followed, how
ever, ns Iho hlazo amounted to but little
Tho car which fell Is nua of threo lust off
tho coirldor hading from tho Fifth avenuo
entrance to tho olllco. It Is nearest tho dining
room and is known as No. 3. Shortly after
4 o'clock Slhubcr, who was on tho tenth floor
of the 'hotel, slgnallicl No 3 to como up and
tako blm down. Clark responded and ran
his i nr up without unythlng wrong occurring.
Having token Hchubcr aboard ho set his lever
to return. Ho says that tho car slnrted down
moro rapidly than usual. Accompanying
tho iiicrcnuil speed thero wns n peculiar
grating sound. Clark was frightened. Ho
shnvod his lot cr to a central position, expect
ing thus to shut off tho power controlling the
action of tbo hydraulic pumps In tho basement
and bring tho car to a stop.
Instead of stopping, tbo car, which was then
at tho sixth floor, gnvo a sudden bound up the
shaft. It wont perhaps ten feet. Clark and
Schubor wero thrown to their knees by the
shock, and before they could say Jock Robin
sou tho car ban started down the shaft with
frlriiifu spovd. It struck tho bottom of the
i shaft on a lovol with tho ofllee floor with a
shock that doubled the, Inmates up and knocked
the breath out of them. The terrlQo crash was
heard lu all purls of the big hotel. Tho llgbta
in the restaurant wont out. The few guests
there at that hour aroso ln alarm and ran Into
tho crowdod corridor. Exclamations of fright
and surprise were beard on all sldos No ono
knew for a moment what had happened
Then thcro camo a cry from tho olevator
shaft, nnd thcro was n rush In that direction.
Clark had struggled to his feet and wns calling
, for help UU right leg was broken and help
less nnd his face w us polo as death, but he was
1 able to tavcb thu cntc h on the msldo of the ole
I vntor door and open it. Ho was helped out,
I and then Schuber was picked up and curried to
a settee. At first It was feared that ho was
the more serloiislc Injured of the two Ills
face was covered with blood, and the shock to
his system bad boen so severe that ho was I
scarcely conscious Ho recovered rapidly,
however, on being taken to his room ln the
hotel. Clark was conveyod to Bollcvue Hos
pital In on ninbulnncc.
While tbo victims of tbe accident were balng
attended to, n, new danger aroio. A sizzling
and a sputtering eouli be heard beneath tho
tKiitom of tbo car, and soon mioke and flames
began spurting up An alarm of tiro wus sound
fd, and tno clatter of the engines as they whirled
up to the hotel added to tho excitement. Tbo ,
lire ln Itself amounted to littlo and was soon
extinguished It was cnusod by tho break
ing of elcetrle light wires When the car
crashed agn'nst the bottom of thn short it near- ,
ly knocked the bottom out. A faldc floor had '
been built here. It wus heuvilv braced, but
such was the Impact ot tho falling elevator
that It wob punched down a foot. On the other
sldo of this floor, which formed the idling of
the basement, ran a number of wires. The
floor s displacement broko them and caused
tho trouble.
Tho elevator car was badly wrecked. Tho
mirrors on the sides wrro broken to bits, and a
pleco ot tbe glass cut Bchubur ot or his right eye,
causing tho flow of blood
Tho elevators of the Waldorf are all Insured
ln tho Fidelity and Casualty Company, nnd are
lnspcetod monthly The lnt Inspection took
place Sept. 28. 1 ho management of tho hotel
now has in ils possession a certificate sltrned br
11. P Knllmnn, chief Inspector of the Fidelity
nnd Casualty Comiwnj, declaring that the
cables, guides. ahou.ves. overhead timbers, and
RHfi.tv ATmllAni -h had nen nTAtrilnml hv In
spectors MrCrulso and McCurd of tho com
pany, and found to be In perfect order.
The elovAtora wore put In bv tha Whlttler
Ele ator Company of Boston. They are run by
hydraulle power. Him each one is roised b) four
ttrel cables three-quarters of an Inch Indiana
eter. Tbo snehorago for these cables is In the
basoment, tog thcr vth thecvllnderan pumps.
An examination of tbo cables nfter the acci
dent showed that all four were broken. Ono was
snapped as clean ns thnugh It had been cut,
within an Inch of the anchorugc The other
three were brokon Irregularly, each at a differ
ent distance from the anchorage, but within a
foot of It.
Tbe small cable, by means of which the lever
In the car shut oft the power, was also broken.
'Iho piston In the cylinder bead was drawn In to
tho full, as when the car Is at tho top of the
shaft under normal conditions.
Alth ugh supplied with safety clutches, these
dovlces evidently did nut servo thecar. Clark
said last night that he did not think tbey
worked ut nil.
A former ofllcar of the Whitt'or Machine Com
pany said last nlgbt that the Waldorf elevators
were equipped with the Baldwin safety appli
ance. In construction." he continued, " the
appliance is simple, but it can be absolutely
certain of stooping the fall of n car only hen
tbocables aro broken between thecar and the
sheaves over which they pass at tho top of tho
shaft.
Tbe absolute failure of the safety appliances
to work without their having been tampered
with makes the accident to this elevator, per
haps, the most serious and disquieting of any
th it has over h ippened to n modern pas
senger elevator in this city.
1 1 wus not possiho to learn at the Waldorf last
nlftht what the conclusions of the experts who
exnmlned tbi wrecked car wore, for although
Assistant Engineer Joscnb poller and men from
the Insurance compnn) examined tho whole lot
of mechanism connected with tho working of
thecar, their findings and conclusions were not
mado nubile.
In the arrangement of the elevators ln the
Waldorf the hydraullo cylinders for con
venience are plain1 along the englno
room celling horizontally, instead of, as Is
usual, being placed vertically brsldo the
elovntor wells. The cylinders nre Inrge
In dinmoterand short, nnd the elevators whhh
run to the tenth floor havo their c ables rove so
Hint the car travels ten times ns far and at ten
tlmeu the speed of the piston rod that works it.
Attheond of tbe piston tod Is n pulle blink
which travels hack and forth In guides, snd this
i oiitslns flee sheaves, each grooved for the four
lopes wblrh go to the cur.
At tbe other ind of the path of this pulley
bloi k is another similar one. Tho fuor hoisting
ropes were mado fust at one cud to Hie1 wnll of
the building oppnsllo the travelling bloik, and
Hassedover and over this and tbe fixed blork
ve sep crate times, then the) wont up to a set
nf turning sheaves nt the top of the elov ator
woll and down to tht car.
If the elov ator man a description of what hap
pmud to the rnr Is correct, what seems to havo
occrirrcu to the hoisting appliances Is
this; 'I he hoisting ropes gave way at the
end furthest from the ear and, held hack, as
they wore, by tho friction of passing over tho
various sets of sheaves, Insteud of dropping tho
csr directly, they uncollul themselves with In
creasing speed, and let tho car go down at a
con.tantlv iictu erited rate,
Iho slipping of the ropes around iheshevves
would liiirninadii thu grinding noiso whiih was
houid. 'Iho shutting off ot tho power had
probably nothing in do with the Jump
of tho cur. This would have hern
caused hnd tho loosened ends of the
ropes suildrnb wrapped about each other,
or somo other object, and, for thn moment,
eoascd to run out. The ear thus checked would
have rebounded, and Hn n, In Its free fall hack
to tho point of rebound, striking with Its full
weight nnd groit vcloeltj upon tbo ropes,
cllhor freed them oi carried them nway
iiltngntlui, It was nt thn moment when tho cur
bogim tne.0 m fast lis in uiiinii cinru that the
uifctr c luti ho' should have been aut'imntliull)
foI. ifthoj Mcioof n proper modern design.
'Iho brinkliin' nf the hoisting ropes wns a mat

for thej said llicso ropes wero new ones, which

Gen. Wcylcr has cabled to Scfior Sngasta, say. M
lng that If ho had been nicrelj tho Gover- 9
nor of Cuba he should bnvo hastened to I

troops, to fnco tho enemy, prevented him I
from retiring. Ho added that ho could
roly upon thu nboluto support of tho Au- 9
tonomlst nnd Constitutional parties, nnd also M
upon public opinion, but that this support was 9
Insufficient without tho confidence of tbo Gov- 9

Replying to this luessago Seflor Sagastu. after 9
thanking Gen. Woyler, said: 9
"I assure jou that the Government recognizor I
your services and values them as they deserve, I
but it thinks that the change of policy, in order 1
to succeed, requires that tho authorities bo ln I
accord with the Ministry. 1
"This has nothing to do with tho confldeno 1

blllty of any policy does not fnll upon tboso who 1
carry It out, but upon tbo Government which In- 1

decision of the Government." 1
CABINET OPPOSES DELAY IN CUBA. 1
Indication, or n Protest from Washlngtaa
Acaln.t lbe Soaalab ministry's Policy.
Wabiiivoto.v. Oct. 8. Whllo tho regular
meeting of the Cabinet held to-day did not re
sult ln any Important action, It had an Interest
ing bearing on tho Cuban question. There ar
Indications that tho Administration does not In
, tend to allow tho Spanish Ministry to postpon
' consideration of tho situation in tho per
I turbed island until next March without a pro
test or something more emphatic from
tbo United States. Tho announcement In
Madrid yesterday that this policy had been
determined on met with bcv ere criticism by soma
of tho members of McKlnlc) 'sofllclal family, and
( developed a feeling of hearty Americanism that
will undoubtedly bo productive of doclslvs
measures b) the President to bring tbe war to
a close if tbe present Government of Spain per
sists In its reported intention to delay the pro
posed Cuban reforms or thwart the desiroof
this country for somo speedy settlement. Ac
cording to trustworthy authority, the President
and his Cabinet aro convinced that the Sagasta
Ministry can do something to araeliorato tho
condition ot things in Cuba without resorting to
wbnt they consider tho temporizing expedient)
of calling a general election to determine tbo
political character of a new legislative govern
ment. Minister Woodford has expressed to tha
j Spanish authorities tho earnest desire of Prcsi
' dent McKlnlcy that tho inhuman concentration
order of Weyler, by which thousands of non
combatants aro forced to remain in tbo largs
owns where food is so scarce that many aro
dying of starvation, bo revoked, and the suffer
ing people permitted to return to their farming
nnd other means of livelihood. This request, 10
was maintained at lo da) s meeting, can bo
complied with at once, nnd does not require
submission to tho Cortes, It was also held
that the delay of agasta in recalling Wey
ler did not show a sincere Intention to
stop tho butchery of tho Cubans, llio members
of the Cabinet bcllev o that Sagnsta can iuaugu
I rate his proposed reforms Immediate!). They
think that a nun Cortes, with a Liberal majority,
will not bo ncccssury to accomplish tho reported
purpose of tho present MlnlMr) of granting ac
tual reforms to Cuba. Thocxchango of views at
1 the meeting showed an agrcoiucnt between
President McKlnlcy nnd his advisers that flvo
months was too long a postponement of the con
sideration of questions which havo required
settlement for two years
What action will bo taken cannot be torctold
nt this time, even b; tbo President mid tho Cab
inet officers. Ofllcinl ronllriuutlan of the re
ported pollc) of tho bagnsta Miiiistrv has not
been arcolred and tho Administration will bs
obliged, ncccssarll), tu await confirmatory ad
vices from Minister Woodfoid before adopting a
new lino of procedure. Nothing hns rum
from Gen. Woodford since his despatch an
nouncing tho foimation of tho now Spanish
, Ministry, and this nbsenco of news encourages
tho Presidont to believe that tho polio of delay
' hnB not been definitely adopted. 'Iho Govern
ment knows nothing to confirm the Information
enblod from Madrl 1 that an uuswcrwlll bo given
by Spain to Minister Woodford's note on Oct.
2.r but thcro is a belief ln ottleiul circles that it
is true.
