BUILDERS AT ODDS OVER PROFITS ON PUBLIC
CONTRACTS

Samuel Cntermyer, counsel for Peter ]. Bren-
nan contractor, applied to Justice O'CSOrman in
the Supreme Court yesterday for the appointment
of a receiver over the contracts held by Patrick J.
Walsh for the erection of public schools in One
hundred-and-tw -twentieth-st, Twenteth-st., One-hun-
dred- and -fOurth-st and One-hundred- and th-St
and Harrison-ave., Brooklyn Mr.. Untermyer al
legged that Brennan and Walsh were co-partners in
the contracts for these schools, but that Walsh
wanted to take all the profits instead of dividing
with Brennan under verbal agreement entered
into between them in December. 1896.
According to counsel's statement. Walsh and
Brennan made agreement in 1896 10 secure the
contracts for the erection of several public schools
Brennan to be the contractor for some OF
them and Walsh for the others. and the prohts
were to be equally divided
Brennan obtained contracts for a number OF
$4,000 profits with Walsh. Walsh refused TO recog-
nize any partnership in any Of the schools held
by him in his name, counsel said.
Thomas Ennever. for Walsh. denied that any
partnership existed between Walsh and Brennan
They friends, and Brennan, who 4
mason asked Walsh in 1886 TO help him in getting
school contracts, to which Walsh consented
Brennan got three contracts, and then Walsh Sc
cured three more. Counsel said it unfair to
ask for the appointment OF receiver for those
schools in Walsh's without asking for one
for the schools in Brennan's name. Justice O'Gor-
man reserved his decision

EUROPEAN GRAIN CROPS.
The Condition of Fail Sown Wheat,
Rye, Etc. in Germany Above
the Medium.
WHAT THE FIGURES FROM FRANCE SHOW.
The Sugar Cane Crop OF India Start
ed W ell, But Failure of Rain Se-
riously Curtailed the Result-The
Rice Area Somewhat Smaller
than Usual.

Washington, Nov. 25.-European re-
ports to the department of agricul-
lure show that the conditions of fall
sown wheat, spelt and rye in Ger
many, as officially reported by the
German statistical office, is considera-
bly, above medium.
French Cereal Crops.
The preliminary official estimate of
French cereal crops for 1900, show the
production of 43,3O6.122 bushels Of
barley for the 1900 crops is for 49,
3O6, 122 bushels of barley and 270,436,-
$50 bushels of oats. Both grains were
n little lighter in yield than in 1899,
besides returning a smaller yield per
acre in measured bushels. Compare
son of the wheat, maslin, rye, barley
and oats production in France for
ten years shows that each of these
crops is below the decennial average,
as well as below the crop of 1899,
though the deficit, as compared with
the decennial average, is small in the
case of the more important cereals.
The Sugar Crop in India.
The final general memorandum of
the Indian government on the sugar
cane crop for the season 1~S99-1900
shows that in both northern and
southern India the season began well
for this crop and the area planted
was larger than in 189S-1S99, being ap-
proximately equal to the average.
Failure of rain, however, later, seri-
ously injured the crop. In the Pun
jah district at least one-third of the
crop was lost, and the crop of the
northwest provinces was estimated al
only So per cent but in Bengal and
Madras provinces from So to 81 per
cent. of an average crop was realized.
The East India Rice Area.
The area under rice in the 1S99-190C
season is estimated at approximately
1000, 600 acres, somewhat smaller
than that in 1S9S-1S99, but more than
the average. The yield was estimated
at somewhat over 23,345,0OO tons, be-
ing, like the area, smaller than that
of last year. This reduction is in

QUARRELED OVER A WOMAN.
OF a Young Millionaire or
Minneapolis.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 26.-Frank
Ell. Hamilton, a newspaper man. is o
prisoner at the Central police station
charged with murder as the result
of the stabbing to death of Leonard
Day, a young millionaire society man
of the city, at the West hotel, early
yesterday morning. Hamilton, who
had been IN the custody of detectives
since the tragedy, was not formally
placed under arrest until late yester-
day afternoon, when the coroner's
jury returned a verdict holding him
responsible for the death of young
Day.
The tragedy took place in the bill
lard room of the hotel at two o'clock
in the morning, after a quarrel over
a woman, participated in by Hamil-
ton, Day and a number of other
prominent men. During the fight
Fred George, a society leader, was
badly cut in the right hand.
George and Day were, in company
with C. S. Force, another society no.
table, playing pool, when Hamilton
and Day began ~quarreling. An effort
was made To- separate them by several
bystanders. and for a few moments
quiet was restored. Then the trouble
broke out anew and ended only when
Day lay dying on the floor. Hamilton,
with whom he had been fighting, was
the first to bend over him ana offer
aid, but it was toe late, for in five
minutes the injured man was dead.
The men who had taken any hand in
the ARRAY at once left the place, but
were later found oy the police, who
took charge of the case.
Coroner Nelson, at the request of
friends of the prisoner and of the
dead man, held an inquest yesterday
afternoon, when all OF the witnesses
of the tragedy testified. None saw
the fatal blow struck, but all agreed
that Hamilton was the only man with
whom Day had been fighting. He was
well known in society circles.
Frank H. Hamilton came to this city
last spring, and has since been m
ployed as sporting reporter on n of
the local papers. He has a wealthy
uncle in New York.
