PEARYS Arctic PLANS.

The graceful gift OF Mr.. IIarmsworh's ship
the Windward to Lieutenant Penry practically
completes the plans Of the latter for his coming
advance upon the Arctic Pole. No gift could
have been more welcome. The Wlndward Is.
with "A single exception, the most noteworthy
Arctic exploring vessel anOnt. II was used by
Mr.. Jackson in his very successful work In
Spitzbergen and had the honor Of conveying
DIR. Nansen himself over the last stage OF his
UNPARALLELED Journey. 1t Is uncommony well
designed for Arctic cruising, and will doubtless
be found Just what Lieutenant Pcary needs.

and heroic achievement. and does not that mean
the whole l-are due to Mr. IIarmswOrth for his
gift and in equa measure It's good wishes go
out to Lieutenan: Penry for the greatest posi-
bic measure Of success In his undertaking.
The plan Of the venture Is perfectly simple.
The ship will be pushed as far north on the
Greenland coast as possible. There the cx-
plorcr and two companions will land, with pro-
visions for five years use They will be joined
by party Of sixteen Esquimaus. with their
dogs, sledgcs canoes and other equipment. The
whole party will then proceed along the coast
making caches Of provisions at Intervals until
the northcrnmost point OF land IL reached
Then a Decline dash across the Ice for the Pole
will be made The Pole having been reached n
similar return will be made. The ship, having
first landed them will return 10 NewYork, and
next year will go up again 10 the landing place
TO look for traces of the explorers. Not finding
them, it will return to this city, and the next
year repeat the performance. going up every
year until 1t finds the explorers where it left
them. That may not be for several years, or II
may be In one yenr. Lieutenant Peary expects
to make his landing from the ship in Septem-
Der, and TO begin the dash for the Pole early
the next spring. Under favorable conditions
he thinks the forced march across the ice may
be made in three months.
Lieutenant Peary thinks most Of his trip,
after leaving the ship. will he made on land or

open Polar sea There will be breaks and
leads In the icc-pack which he will have to

men with him besides the Esqumaus have H.

after leaving the Fran. 1t Is Of interest to OBJ

BOARD OF SELECTlIEN,
Hearing on Fulton Street Layout Held
Last Evening.

Hearing on Fulton Street Layout Hold
Last Evening.
The board Of selectmen last evening
held a continued hearing on the matter
of taking UP the original layout of Full
ton street, in the annex The street
was laid out in 1885, but since that time
persons who own property along the
street have encroached on the layout.
It is now proposed to cause them to
put back fences and to widen up the
street in accordance with the old lay
out.
Attorney e. c. Snyder last evening
appeared in behalf of Mrs. May Hughes
10 protest against the town causing the
original layout of the street to be re-
stored. He claimed that his client
had held undisputed possession of prop
erty, from which she would be obliged
to remove by the proposed action, for
twenty-five years. and that she was
not prepared to allow any part of it to
be taken away from her. Mr.. Snyder
claimed that under the statute of limit
ations his client was entitled now to a
clear title of the land.
George Hitchcock, who has already
acknowledged the towns right to a par
Gel of land which he had fenced in, ap-
peared in favor of restoring the lay
out.
The selectmen in executive session
voted to refer the case to Town Coun-
sci Goodhart to ascertain if the town
has a legal right to claim the old layout
made in 1885.

Prosecution Rests-Defense opens o-day
Crime to he Denied.
Chicago, Sept. 21.--The direct evidence
in the Leutgert case is in and the state
has rested. At o'clock this afternoon
the last witness of the prosecution was
heard. This witness was Mrs. Louis
Miller Johnson. She had been i'll for
several weeks and the prosecution fear
ed she would not be able to appear to
testify. When sworn, Mrs. johnson
testified that upon one occasion she saw
Leutgert in a rage chase his wife out
of their house. The sausage maker, the
witness said, was armed with a revol-
yer. He called his wife names and
threatened to shoot hear Ex-Judge
Vincent did not cross-examine this wit
ness at length. When she left the stand
State Attorney Deneen said: "If the
court pleases the state rests.
There was general movement in the
crowded court room as the spectators
glanced toward Leutgert and his coun-
sell The former leaned forward and
whispered to ex-Judge Vincent. The
latter arose and made a formal motion
that the case be taken from the jury
on the ground that the state had failed
to make out case Judge Tuthill
promptly overruled this motion with
out argument. Then Mr.. Vincent stat
ed that owing to the lateness of the
hour he would like his opening address
to the jury postponed until tomorrow.
There was no objection to this and an
adjournment was taken.
1t required just twenty days for the
presentation of the evidence of the
prosecution. Ex-Judge Vincent said
the defence would present its side of the
case in just half that time.
MY address to the jury in opening
will be short and directly to the point" "
he said. I'VE deny the murder-the
corpus delicti has not been proved as
the law requires and this fact cannot
be assumed nor inferred from such tes-
timony as has been presented here. We
will explain all the evidence brought
out here by the police department af-
| ter months of investigation and manip-
ulation. l do not care to give out in
| full our defence until we get started
| but l promise some startling develop
ments before we are through"

WHO WON, N,PLATT0R WORTH?
IN EXCITING AND CLOSE STRUGGLE
IN THE BROOKLYN PRIMARLES.
Both Sides Claim a Victory-I.ieut-Gov.
woodruff Claims the City by n Large
Majority-So Does Jacob Worth-Heavy
Vote Cast in All the Districts-Impartial
Observers Think Platt Forces Won.

New York, Sept. 21.-Considerable en-
! thusiasm prevailed at the republican
primaries in Brooklyn tonight. The
situation as viewed at midnight from
an impartial standpoint shows that the
contest between Platt and Worth for
the supremacy in Brooklyn has been a
very hot one Both sides have fought
bitterly for victory.
| When the count of the votes was
over or nearly over, complete returns
| being unobtainable, the chaos of figures
showed the vote to be almost a tie, with
| inclinations toward a Platt victory.
| AS is usual in such contests, both
sides claimed everything. Lieutenant
| Governor Woodruff, who led the Platt
cohorts from his Clarendon hotel head
quarters, when interviewed on the situ-
alton was apparently supremely happy.
| On the other hand, Jacob Worth claim
ed that he had won out.
| Messrs Worth and Buttling, rs is
generally known, We're opposed to Lieu
tenant Governor Woodruff and City
! Works Commissioner Willis, who repre-
| sent the interests of Senator Platt in
the affairs of Kings county.
The lieutenant governor tonight was
asked whether or not the four thousand
delegates that he claimed had been Sc
cured by the Willis faction would vote
for Low
He said that possibly few of them
might not.
"At a late hour he said, 1--WE carry
the city convention by a vote of two
to one We cast $4,000 votes and we
are certain of fifteen assembly districts
out of twenty-one.
Jesse Frost, a Worth man, was beat
en- in his own district in the Twenty
second ward, and Mr. Willis won his
own, the First ward, with the excep
ton of one district.
'The Seventh ward has practically
decided in our favor, while the Twen-
tieth and Twenty-third wards are solid.
In the Fifteenth ward, seventeen out
of twenteen-two districts we are sure
Of, and in the Third ward Dody has
won every district but three, defeating
Hugo Hirsch in his own balliwick. The
Fifteenth ward is ours, all but four
districts out of twenty-one.
I'm the sixteenth, all but five out of
twenty-five. Mr.. August c. Schmidt,
of the Sixteenth ward carried his dis
trict by twenty eight to 0, while up IN
the Twenty eighth ward thirty dis
tricts, Kallenoach carried the ward
against Deubert, prominent Worth
man.
Judge Brenner was badly defeated.
In nutshell" concluded the lieutenant
governor 1--WE shall have 66 per cent.
of the county convention We have
elected about 1000 delegates from twen-
ty-one districts. We shall control
fifteen assembly districts, or three
quarters of the total number of dele
gates
Jacob Worth when seen later, said
I'VE have carried the contest by a
handsome majority We have retriev-
ed the defeat we suffered at the coun-
\ ty committee last Tuesday night
