PARTY PRIMARIES HELD
 IN GREATER NEW YORK
M'CARREN WINS TIGHT AGAINST
 TAMMANY IN BROoKLYM

Leader Murphy's Man Carries but Five
 Out of Twenty-one Districts-wiII- jam S. Devery DecisiyeIy Defeated in
 the Ninth DIstrIct--In Bitter Repub-
 Iican Fight an OdeH Man is Beaten.
 New York, Aug. SO.-Both the repub- Ilican and democratic parties held their primaries in New York city to-day, but the interest centered in the democratic contest in Brooklyn, where State Sen ator P. H. McCarren and Deputy Fire Commissioner Doyle, the latter the rep lresentative of Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany leader, fought.
 It was conceded that McCarren sym |pathizers would carry the majority of the Brooklyn districts. McCarren did lcarry sixteen out of twenty-one assem- bly, districts, but Doyle men took the other five.
 Tonight Senator McCarren claims that the primaries give him practically la clean sweep of Kings county and shows the confidence of the people in Brooklyn in his leadership. Deputy Commissioner Doyle made the state-s |ment that in his district-the Seventh the loss of plurality simply indicates the result of the defection of John s. Sutherland who until recently was a Doyle man. He also says that his dis trict will give Parker and Davis the biggest majority given any democratic candidates in twenty years
 It s. said in some circles, however, that MeCarren is disappointed that Doyle carried even five districts, and that he expected to sweep Brooklyn and do away entirely with the Tammany influence. Tammny is eiated at the re- Isult.
 In Manhattan and the Bronx there was practically no change of leadership in the various districts. In the bitter republican fight in the Twenty-fifth be- tween Herbert A. Parsons and Howard Conkling, Parsons won by about one hundred votes. It is said that Governor fOdell was deeply interested in the at tempt to defeat Parsons, who is a Platt republican,.
 William s. Devery was decisively de- feated in his fight in the Ninth distrct. In. Deyery's district the primaries pro- voked a fight between negroes and white men which almost led to race riot, and to quell which the police re- serves were called out.

 gerald Chairman of the Meeting.

 Court street at o'clock last evening.
 When the meeting was called to order
 by Town Chairman Welles it was found that nearly all the delegates who were elected at the primaries last Monday night were present.
 MT. Welles read the call, after which he called for nominations for a pernla- lucnt chairman of the meeting. James E. McGann nominated Attorney David E.

 committee consisted of the chairman of each ward delegation, and in case of his
 being absent the next name on the list was substituted. This committee com lprised the following gentlemen Will liam A. Wright, Charles Spreyer, James E. McGann, John P. Griffin, John K. Brauer, Edward A. Rourke. James J. Devine, Daniel M. Sheehan, John F.i McGraiL Edward E. Bradley, Frank W.

 Chairman Fitzgerald next stated that the principal business of the meeting Was the eleclloIl " IWeHIy-SlH SueIe- gates to the state convention. and he asked what action the delegates wished to take in their election. James P. Me- Gam arose and made a motion that the chair appoint a committee of five Ito bring in a list. This motion was sec onded, and James M. Hennessy of the Seventh ward then jumped up and amended that the committee on creden- ltials act in this matter instead of a committee of five Max Thalheimer and Harry Leigh both protested vigor- Iously against MT McGann's motion and argued favorably for the amendment.

BEST RACING OF SEASON
NEW RECORDS BY SEVERAL
 HORSES AT NARRAGANSETT.

Gallagher, the Canadian Horse and
 Favorite in the Grand Attraction of
 the Day, Beaten by smathers' John NJ
 Stanley Dillon Wins RPS Trotting Event in Straight Heats-Fastest
 Three Heats Contested by Trotters
 This year.
 Providence, Aug. 3O Twelve thou sand persons saw the best racing of the grand circuit to date at Narragansett Park to-day. Weather and track were perfect for extremely fast time, and the horses availed themselves of the. opportunity by placing new records op- posite their names and in two instances the best marks made in d race over any. track during the yean
 The grand attraction to-day was the Park Brew stake for a purse of s5,000 for horses which were eligible to the 2:09 pacing class last March. There were five entries, but the event was practically g tWo-hcfsa race between Gallagher, the Canadian horse, and John M, the property of E. k. Srmath- CTS. of New York. The former was fa- vorite over the field In the initial heat the favorite led from wire to wire, with John NJ. at his sulky wheel at the finish. In the second heat the Canadian, at the word raced away to the front, with John M. laying to his sulky wheel. These were the relative positions to the. head of the stretch, when Spear brought John M to the outside of his opponent and commenced a desperate drive for the heat, James, too, behind the leader began at almost the same instant to try to land his horse first. Slowly the New York gelding erept up on his opponent until at the one hum dred yard distance pole both were on even terms. From there to the wire it was a see-saw match. In the last ten yards Gallagher weakened, but only trifle, as when they flashed under the wire only the nose of John M. was in front This heat practically settled the. race, John N. winning both of the fol- lowing heats by good lengths The first heat of the race made a new record for the event, lowering the one made by Direct Hal in 1902 by one-quarter of a second

SEARCHING FOR BODIES.
Oflicials Convinced Farmer Marx Mur-
 dcrcd More Than Two.

Officials Convinced Farmer Marx Mur-
 dcrcd More Than Two.
 Colchester, Aug. 30. That Gershon B. Marx, now held in the Norwich county jail, is the perpetrator of a series of -blooded murders probably without precedent in the history of the state of Connecticut, is the belief of the state officials who to-day began systematic search for bodies on the Marx farm. Four murders and an attempt to poison another man can, it is firmly believed by these officials, be traced to Marx.
 The bodies of two of Marks victims, Joe PayoI and Joe Palm, have already been found, and Marx is awaiting trial charged with the murder of Pavol, his wife being held as a witness for the state. The two bodies for which the search was begun to-day are those Of an eighteen-year- boy and a Hebrew Epeddlels
 The boy, who was known as Harry, arrived in New York from Russia about three years ago and he came here al- most immediately to work for Marx. He worked on the farm for about six months and then suddenly disappeared. Marx, when asked to explain the lads absence, said he had gone to Hartford ito find employment. Beyond that he would not talk about the boy The He brew peddler went to the Marx home one evening two years ago and he was not seen alive again, so far as is known.
 In the opinion of State Attorney Lu- .cas and Sheriff Jackson these two per- sons met their death in the same man. ner as the two farmhands, and to ob- tain positive proof of their belief un- ceasing efforts will be made to unearth the bodies.

 National Officers Stone and Hurley said tonight that as the negotiations for settlement regarding the pay and work hours of the men to be employ ed in the new subway are still in the hands of the local committees, they are here simply to watch the progress of affairs. They admitted, however, that Chief John J. Hannahan of the Broth erhood of Locomotive Bremen, who is at Peoria, H., has been asked by tel egraph to come here as quickly as pos sible, as Assistant Grand Chief Hur- ley understands that the men here are anxious to strike, and he may not be able to restrain them in case MT. Bel mont should not accede to their de- mands.

REVIVAL OF BoxzR1sM.
over Twenty American nIissiOnarie,
 Obliged to Leave One PIace.


 Shanghai, Aug. 30.-A revival of Box erism Is reported from Tamingfu, in the southwestern part of Pechin province 215 miles from Tien Tsin. Over twen- ty American missionaries, including women and children, have been obliged to evacuate Tamingfu owing to an in tended massacre on the part of the Boxers, who called themselves "Tsai- yum" The local telegraph company re- fused to transmit a message from these missionaries to American Minister Con- ger at Pekin. Fortunately, however, an English friend in Human forwarded their message, whereupon Yuan Shika, viceroy of Pechili province, dispatched urgent orders for their protection.
 In view of the fact that the local authorities gave them no protection and there was no hope of continuing their work the missionaries came out. They travelled in safety.

DEMANDS OF M" MEN
 ARE FLATLY REFUSED
ANSWER oFTHEINTERBoRoUGH
 RAPID TRANSIT COMPANY.

VIII Not Give More Than s Day for
 Ten Hours Work in subway-Posi-
 tive Statement That the Decision is
 FinaI-Question of Strike Now Rests
 With National Heads of the Loeomo-
 tive Engineers.
 New York, Aug. SO.-The demand of motormen and iremen of the ''L" road for an increase in wages and a de- crease in the hours of labor in the new subway was refused to-day by the of ficials of the Interborough Rapid Tran sit company. This decision was an nounced after a long conference be- tween General Manager Bryan and General Superintendent Hedley Of the Interborough company and committee representing the employees. The ques- tion of wages arose when arrangements were being made for opening the sub way. When announcement was made that applications for positions in the subway would be received on certain day, and that men at that time in the employ of the company on elevated and surface lines would be given prefer ence, it was also announced that the pay for motormen would be three dol lars for ten hours work. The motor men on the elevated lines now receive $3.50 and a movement was at once be- gun to secure a similar rate in the subway. Many meetigs have been held and the question has been widely dis cussed b yemployes of the road. but no formal action regarding enforcement of the demand has yet been taken. In view of the failure of the local com mittee to secure any promises from the company, the matter now probably will be turned over to the officers of the national organization of street railway men.
 An official of the Interborough com- pany, who attended the conference to- day, said:
 'The committee. was informed that the position of the Interborough com pany so far as an increase Tn wages and the lessening of the hours of la Dor were concerned is final. It win pay only three dollars for a ten hour day, which is the highest rate of wages on any electric railroad in the country. It Is true that the motornen on the VI" lines are paid $S.5O a day, but the men are getting that high rate of pay only because the company recognizes their long and faithful service as engineers. This was told to the delegates and they were firmly informed that the Inter borough company will not recede from it's position in the matter. Another cons ference was asked for by the commit tee, but no arrangements for a sec ond conference was made. Now the matter is up to the national officers of the two organizations Chiefs Stone and Hurley of the Locomotive Engin- eers, who are now in the city.
