One hundred "A nd -seven' eenth-st.. told story
around Harlem last night abou, the alleged finding
OF a human head I'm the East River near the Sunken
Meadows. Those who found the head. according
to Mlllner are three Italian boys who hire a boat
at his boathouse frequently to go out looking for

looking for driftwood In the river about 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. When they returned the
youngest boy OF fourteen. told Mlner. the latter
says. that they had picked up a human head In the
river II had neither hair nor flesh. yet was float
ing the surface.
The boys raid that they were so frightened by
the discovery that they flung the head into the
water again. While the youngest boy was telling
the story to Millner the eldest spoke exctcdly 10
him In Italian and seemed to be telling him not TO
say any more.
Millner said that. as far as he knew the police
had drcdged for the head OF Guldensuppe rs far

ating 100000 to the Lehigh University at Soutn

Bethlehem, Penn. July 2i.-The trustees OF the
Lehigh University have authorized an emphatic
denial Of the report that the university may be
compelled to close its doors in September. Ihis
report was entirely unauthorized. The univer-
sity will be open as usual In September. with all
departments in full efficiency. Moreover, the
trustees take pleasure in saying that the appro-

has entirely relieved The university Of any ankle
ty arising out Of the temporary and partial fai-
ure OF Its income, and that the prospects Tor lts
continued usefulness and growth are In every

The grant from the State will be made to cover
two years, when, 1t Is confidently expected, the

PLATT AND WORTH.
WOODRUFF SAYS THE SENATOR HAS NOT
INTERPRETED IN KINGS COUNTY
POLITICS.

"I feel certain that Mr.. Patt has not inter-
fered in Kings County politics, and that he will
not do So"
Thus spoke Lieutenant Governor WoodruH
last night. AS Mr. Woodruff asserts that he Is
loyal 10 both Jacob Worth and to Thomas c.
Platt as the leaders of his party organization
in county and State respectively, and as he Is
still on terms of friendship with both of them.
he should speak with authority on so delicate
though important, point this.
The Lieutenant Governor does not think the
estrangement between Messrs. Platt and Worth
is so vital in it's nature that 1t cannot be
healed. When asked about the suggestion that
he should peacemaker between the
warning leaders. he said
Il have heard the suggestion made that
might be able to bring Mr.. Platt and Mr.. Worth
to a better understanding but no proposition
that should do so has yet been made to me.
II should most certainly be willing to try, as
/ am very sorry to see anything otner than n
the best Of feeling between them. There Is
nothing that hurts a party before the people
so much internal dissensions. Our party has
won Of late years because we were united While
the Democrats had internal dissensions.
Il have long been friendly terms with both
Mr. Platt and Mr.. Worth. The former. like my
SELF is a Yale man. His sons were in Yale at
the same time | was and my roommate for
year a chum of theirs. The intimacy that
began there between Mr.. Platt and his family
and me has continued all these years. To Mr..
Worths efforts, as well to Mr.. Platt, am
indebted for my nomination as Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Mr.. Worth, | see, gives me due credit
for my share in his appointment as County
Clerk When l requested Governor Morton to
appoint him successor to Mr.. Saffen, the Gov
ernor said:

ing to accept the entire responsibility for the
appointment / said was, and have no reason
to regret the position | then took.
1t is believed that Mr.. Worth will return from
Saratoga within day or so, possibly to-mor-
row. Matters are likely then to be brought 70
a crisis, and there will be either open warfare
or truce.
