County Clerk Jacob Worth continued to mo-
nopolize political attention In Brooklyn yester-
day, but there seemed to DO q general consensus
that his craftsmanship had suffered n slight
eclipse and that his props had become somewhat
weakened since his return from Saratoga. Tho
frequent conferences he has had with his lieuten-
ants during the past three days arc said to have
convinced him that he made a serious mistake In
his attitude OF antaRonism to tho State leader
and the New York organization. The Brooklyn
papers, In their reports on tho situation yester-
day, all pictured Mr.. Worth as losing ground.
Prominence was given to q rumor that Mr..
Worth, in view of his impaired health and the
plethoric condition OF his bank account. had de-
termined to retire from the cares OF political
leadership at tho close OF the year,
and that Lieu. Gov. Woodruff was ambitious
to assume them. 1t was also said, in. regard to

The Republican statesmen themselves appear
to lay some stress on the rumors OF Mr.. Worth's
probable early retirement from the leadership,
Tor they were seriously discussing the question
OF selecting his successor. The names or Lieut.

Little Adolph Fromm sttlI Unconscious and Not
Expected to Live.
Adolph Fromm, a 1O-year-old boy, was one
Of the many residents of Hoboken who awoke
yesterday morningt to discover their homes sur
rounded by water two feet deep. He looked
out Of his bedroom window at SO Monroe street
at about g. O'Clock. Everywhere the streets
were covered with water. He saw several Of
his friends wading through tho flood in their
bare. feet andihis first thought was to join In
the FUN as quickly as possible.
Hurrfedly dressing himself, the boy ate his
breakfast and was soon out.with his playmatcs.
He waded around a while and then attempted
to climb up an iron trolley pole Of the Jersey
City, Hoboken. and Rutherford Railway at
First and Marshall streets. As he clamUc-cd
up the iron framework that prot ects tho lower
portion, Of the pole, his bare feet slipped and
and then fell backward into the water. His
plnymates, who saw him fall, hurried to his
assistance, but when they had dragged him out
or the water he was unconscious. A man who
was driving n butchers wagon near the scene
carried the boy into q store and telephoned for
an ambulance. On his way to st. Mary's Hos
pital the boy revived slightly, but almost inn
mediately relapsed into unconsciousness. His
face and feet were discolored and swollen. He
had not recovered consciousness last night and
the physicians at the hospital had small hopes
for his recovery.
Employees Of the railway company discov-
cred that the pole had become charged with
electricity through a defect in the wires, which
had been disarranged by the storm. A man
was instructed to stand guard over the pole
until the wires could be repaired.

Jacob Aston, Mrs. Aston. and q party OF guests.
The party started out for Orient Point on Mon
day for a weeks fishing, on Mr.. Astor's yacht
Nourmahal. They took Capt. Beebo aboard as

off Green Hill, GARDENERS Island. At first they
had excellent sport, Mrs. Aston hooking an
cighty-pound bass. They lay In GARDENERS Bay
the first night. intending to contine the sport on
the next day. On account of the violent storm,
however, the. Nourmahal was compelled TO run
down to Sag Harbor on Tuesday afternoon. She
was unable, however. to get up to the Point for
want Of q pilot. The launch came ashore for
one. but 1t seems that tho only man qualified
was too drunk TO undertake the task. and the
had to lie outside Cedar Point, about
three miles from the village of Sag Harbor.
Meantime Mr.. and Mrs. Astor, with some OF
the guests, went up to Southampton on u visit.
They intended to play golf, but they returned to
Sag Harbor to-day and boarded the yacht. which
set off at once for Plum Island. where IL is now
lying. 1t will proceed to Newport. In tho party
