POLITICAL ROWING IN THE SIXTEENTH.

Tammany Mon Aiding TO Disturb the iInr-
mOny of Justice Powers Organization.
There is the ~liveliest kind OF n political row
going on in the Sixteenth Assembly District,
in which both the Tanmany Hall and County
Democracy organizations are engaged.
Kaufman Worms, interpreter for the Sixth
District Civil Court, is the nucleus of the
scrimmage, and stands a fair chance of hav-
ing his official breath squeezed out.
The Sixteenth District is Police Justice
Maurice j. Powers own. and Worms is one
of the County Democracy chieftain's first
lieutenants.
For twelve years he has held the position
of court interpreter unde County Democ-
racy Justices. receiving 600 II month for the
slight official services he rendered, but per-
haps earning it by the assistance he gave in
promoting his benefnctor's political schemes.
Like u good many other County Demo
Gratis, however, Mr.. Worms has read the
signs of the times in the recent election and
has realized that Tammany Hall is the or
ganiZation for chronic o~fice-holders to tie to.
1t was accordingly very easy for Assembly
to stand rs his candidate for the Presidency
of the Anawanda Club at the recent election
OF officers of that association.
The Anawanda Club is practically the Tam
many Hall organization OF the district, and
Charles Wolf, an out-and out Tammany Hall
man, was also o candidate for the Presi-
dency.
Hagan's influence, however, was potent in
securing the election of the County Democ-
Tacy man, Worms. and VOLTS friends. led by
Charles Murphy, have on foot Il movement to
Gust Worms.

ing machine.

The truth IL, that our modern audiences do
not care for historical plays. They cannot enjoy
n little commonplace love incident, the interest
in which it il hoped to increase by historical sur

sketches in the British Museum. and all the rest
OF it. II the love incident be worth anything let
it be modcrniZed. Let the heroine appear in the

affection. They want to see love. There is a
great difference.

Far-R eachinE Effects of the Central Labor
Union Row.
The split in the Central Labor Union may
seriously involve the several sections attached
to that body and which meet at las Eighth
street on five nights Ill the week. Tonight
the Miscellaneous Section will hold its regu-
lar meeting. and as there are several Social
istic organizations represented in it it is ex-
pected they will withdraw.
The Metal Workers and the Food Pro-
ducers' sections hold regular meetings to-
morrow night. Considerable curiosity is
manifested as to the course these two sections
will take.
The Building Trades Section and the Fur
niture Workers Section meet Friday night.
The former is composed entirely of Con-
sentative or American delegates, and is the
largest and most active body connected with
the Central Labor Union. About forty-tiye
organizations Of skilled workers are con,
nected with it. and they take the utmost in
terest in its proceedings. The members of
these organizations include Knights of Labor
and open or independent unions, aud are the
best paid set of workers in this city.

Tom Dreamer Has Been at DEATHS Door
and -Four Doctors Are Attending Him.

~" E""h N"
Where is Tom Dreamer?
This question has been put again and again
by the friends of the tall Assemblyman from
the Fourteenth District during the past two
weeks. No satisfactory answer has been
made to the inquiry. however.
Tom has not been at his desk in the Assem-.
bly, Chamer, nor has he been seen in his usual
haunts in this city or Albany. He has prac-
tically disappeared.
All this time his omnibus bill to allow the
g%rldironing of Manhattan Island with ele.
waited railways has lain dormant, and the pro-
moters of rapld-transIt schemes, the success
OF which depend on its passage, have been
considerably exercised,
Not because of Creamer's disappearance,
for they know where he is, but for fear he
would die.
The fact is that Tom Dreamer is and has
been living very i'll with gastric fever in a
hotel at Albany. and so critical has been his
condition that at times the services of four
physicians have been employed to keep him
alive.
