Mr. Flath had been In business in Now York for many years, and his credit is said to have stood high in commercial circles.

Business became dull some time ago, and he failed recently for, as hla friends say, a comparativoly small amount. He moved to Brooklyn in order to obtain low rent aud reduce his oxpenees. His creditors annoyod him in tho Metropolis, and he hoped they would not follow him across the river until he bad again established himself In business nnd was In a position to meet their demands. He was mistaken, however, for as soon as his address was obtained they dunned him incessantly. Yesterday two of them visited his rooms, and at tho closo of a stormy Interview threatened him with legal proceedings whioh would Jeopardize his liberty.

Aftor they left he became despondent, aud entering his bedroom took his revolver, placed the muzzle against his head and pulled tho trigger. Tho ball penetrated the brain, where It lodged. The police of the Fifth Precinct wero notified and Flath was removed in the ambulance to the South Third Street Hospital, where he died at 10 o'clock last night.

Stephen Brodlo, St the Fourth Ward, New York, entered the Bridge Police Station, in Sands streetvand with a lordly wave of his hand announced himself: "I am Brodlo, do man wot Jumped de bridge." Sergeaut Phillips, who was In charge, was not a bit embarrassed by the presence of Ills august visitor and simply asked what he wanted. Brodle was in soarch of tho coat ho left on tho truck last Friday when he was arrested for attempting Bulclde.

He was lnformod that ho could look elsewhere for it, but, instoad of taking tho hint, he became voluble in regard to he notoriety he has acquired. Sergeant Phillips paid no attention to tho story. Brodle, perceiving that his audi once was unappreclatlvo, wont out, but Immediately roturnod, with the question: "Say, did ye hear do new yarn dey got up about me Dey say now It wasn't mo, but a dummy I trowed off." The sergeant confessed that ho had hoard it and understood tho pnpers wero going to oxpose the fraud to day. Brodle grew very abusive over tho manner in which the newspapers were treating him aud made use of suoh language that Sorgeant Phillips was compelled to Invite him to leave the station, whence he wonded his way over the promenade to the haunts of his worshiporB in Alderman Pat Divver's district HE SCARED HER Why Mrs. Sterling Left Her Husband.

Condition! Under Which Firemen May be msmissaa ana Hare no Claim lor a Pension.

It sustains the court below, and says: Wo think this appeal wlthoutmerit. Tho relator. a fireman, was charged with being incapable of performtug his duties by reason of ago and physical infirmities.

He was regularly tried beforo tho Commissioner on that charge, and after such trial ad judged incapable of the performance of duty. The eviaence tuny sustained the tact alleged, ltv deed, the rolntor confessed his inability to do duty, and it appeared that for months he had done no substantial service in the department By chapter 377 of the Laws of 1880 incapacity for the performance of duty is ex pressly provided as a cause ror removal, the only objection urged against the nroceedincs beforo the Commissioners is that the written complaint of incapacity refers to Section 14, Titlo of the City Charter, as authority for the charge. These charter provisions, It is claimed, have been supersodod by tho act of 1880, above referred to, aud wero no longer iu force. This much may be conceded, but It cannot affect the regularity of the trial. Even in criminal Indictments It Is not necessary to specify the statute violated.

It was sufficient that the complaint Informed the relator of the exact facts charged against him aud that tho facts so chargod constituted by law a proper caueo for removal. Tho roierence to tne statute waa mere surplusage, ah the relator's disabilities did not accrue either from his service in tho departmeut nor during such service he was not entitled to be retired on the pension llHt Tho removal ot the relator should be affirmed with costs.

On the Social Question by tho Synod. Lutheran Mininters Giving Sound Advice to Employer and Employed Tho Lat Session. Eev.

J. C. Peyer presided over the Lutheraa Synod this morning and asked that as this was thl last day of tho session the tlmo should be econonv ized as much as possible. Tlio BUbjoctof discussion was tho Inst proposltiol of the thesis: "Wo aro directed to pray for the sub tenauco of others In asking for our daily broad." Mr. Wamsgams said that Christ showed this by commanding us to petition lu tho plural number for "our broad." We were not to look for our own welfare only, but for that of others also.

This waB a fundamental principle of Chridli.m charity. The most important duty of ChrlxtlaiiH consisted in our petitioning for the welfare of others. This it was possible for the poorest Christian to do. But we wero not only to pray for the sustenance of our neighbor. We were also directed to "giro him if he.

Is lu need." Should we say to a needy person, shall pray for you," and lot him sulTor, when could assist him, we would be rank hypocrites. Rev. Mr. Doru said that no law could bo mado to solvo the social question. Laborers should striva faithfully to earn their wages.

As a Christian, the laborer Btiould work with a lovlug disposition toward his employer and bo careful in the use ol his tools and machinery. An exomplleation ot the faithful servant or employe was found In Joseph, as a slavo inprison and afterward as Pharaoh's right hand. Laborers should lead a life in keeping with thoir condition. As Christians they Bhoukl avoid Careleds marriages: were the caue of much misery. A young man went to balls and public entertainments aud the first young girt who happened to ploaso his eye he fell In love with aud married, carina little for the future.

Tne consequence lu most cosos was bitter regret and misery. But this should not be construed to imply that thodo young men who aro ablo to support wive3 should be discouraged from getting married. Christian capitalists beforo engaging in any enterprise should be governed by more than the prospect of their own Individual benetlt. A consld uralion as to whother It was to greatly benefit their fellowmen should be prosout also to their minds at the time. The wholesale or retail grocer, the manufacturer of clothes, boots or shoes should con FcieiHiously endeavor to furnish unadulterated goods and good matorial.

All enterprises by which irruu was perpeiratea were antagonistic iu nriMiaa principles. Such were lotteries, pawn offices, gambling saloons and tho publishing and vending of unchaste literature. All monopolies, too, come withiu this category. It was remarkable that so many individuals strove to become monopolists when it was remembered how many obstacles thoy had to overcome aud how much capital it was necessary to risk iu order that they could accomplish tho object of their ambition, not being sure eithor that thoy should not be cut down by the groat lovelor, Death, beforo the object was attained. A Christian capitalist should ever be Just and lair toward his employe.

He should not take advantage of his circumstances to reduce hi rato of remuneration. Whon the employe be caiuo incapacltalo.l for hard work, by sickness or old age, tlio employer should endeavor to find for him some employment to which his strength was equal. Thero wero such charitable Chrlstlau capl taliaiy, though thoy were r.ot always rewarded with the gratitude ot tueir oeneueiarios, some ot wnom hail boon found in the front rank of the strikers. Tho Ingratitude of some of thone whom they had thua bei'riendod should not cause them to become less charitable, for Die reward thoy might miss on earth they would be sure to ilud horoafier. I his closed tho utseusaiou.

(itinera! President Schwau at the close said that those present should endeavor to practice the pre cepts which had been enunciated during the session. Tlio othor threo theses will not bo discussed.

The announcement in the Eaqm yesterday of the flight of Charlos M. Greou, the Now York printer, and Minnie his wifo, foil like a thunderbolt upon their friends.

The young couple had boen keeping houso in good style on Macon streot, near Verona place, where they entertained llborally and frequently. Both Mr. and Mrs. Green were members of several exclusive social organizations and thorefore well known. Said a gentleman who has frequently been a guest at their house: "Tho news is shocking.

Green was about SS years old and hie wife a trifle younger. They have beon married about four years and have two children. A more perfectly matched young couple I never saw. They are both highly cultivated and refined, and tho last people in the world ono would expect to find doing anything wrong or disgraceful. Mrs.

Green, it wns generally remarked, was one of the most graceful, charming and fascinating women in her circle, and no ono was liked bettor." "To what do you attrlbuto Green's falluro I think ho tried to carry too much on his shoulders for bo young a man. When he bought out hlB father he had to borrow money to do It with, and some of his liabilities may bo the balance of that debt. I don't thing tho firm mado any money in pushing tho typesetting machine." Do you think Green wastod money in fast living Oh, no. Ho lived liberally, but not with reckless extravagance, ne was rather fonl of horso flesh, and recently bought an $800 team, and a new surrey worth $250. He and his wife wero often seen on tho road." It was ascertained this morning that Mrs.

Greon, having packed up all her ihlngp, left Brooklyn about throo weeks ago after raising all the money Bho could. Groen was In town a few days ago and called at a Ilvory stable, the proprlotor of which ho told that the family hnd loft town for a short time. Tho lady has gone to hor father's resldei.ee at Marblohead, Mass. Green, it is said, has gono to CanRda to await developments in the various chargos of fraud preferred against him. Plummor, the chief creditor, swear3 in an affidavit that within a short time Green obtained nearly $13,000 from hltn by post dated chocks and notes, stating that tho money was required in the Pearl street printing busluoss.

Au examination of the books reveal3 tho fact that none of tho money obtained of lato was usod In the business, and Green's friends profess to know of no unusual expenditures mode by him of The presumption, thorefore, Is that much of the monoy haa gono to Canada. Kvorytbing Green possessed, Mr. Plummor states, has been mortgaged. A LIQUOR D3ALEKS EVIDEXC3. Philip Munch B.

FOIJSD DBOWSBD. The body of an unknown man about 30 yoars old, 5 feet 6 Inches lu height, wearing a darlt eult, a blue Bhlrt, whlto stockings and button shoes, was found In this Bast River at the foot ot SflTUnty elghtu atreott Hew tott, tfcla On a Charge of Homicide by Justice Naeher. He Avers That He Is Not Begponsiblo for His Brother's Death and Is Generally Believed Outside of Police Circles The Case as Hysterionras Erer. The mystery surrounding the death of tho 16yoar old. youth Frederick Faster, whose llfoless body was discovered at on early hour yesterday morning by William KlelD, of 190 Humboldt street, In a grain wagon on Waterbury street, botweon SoholeB and Hesorole, remains unexplained to day.

John Fflster, the elder brother of the dead youth, who was arrested yesterday for assaulting young Frederick on Sunday night, was arraigned before Justlco Naohor this morning on a charge of homicide. The complaint against him was preferred by I)e toctlve WUIlam Ihue, of the Sixth Preclnot Police. Fflster, who Is a rather pleasant featured young man, when asked what plea he had to make to the chargo replied in a low and faltering voice, "Not He requested an adjournment of tho hearing in the case until Friday, which was granted. Ho asked to be admitted to bail, but Justice Naeher said he could not entertain such a motion. As affecting scone took placo between Fflster and the young woman to whom he is betrothed when he left the stand.

The young woman as she kissed him was sobbing rlolontly and he seemed greatly agitated. Coroner Hesse this morning, after impaneling a jury in the case, adjourned the Inquest until sufficient testimony as to the manner in which young Pnster met his death can be secured. The police now hold the theory that Poster was not assaulted again after he was struck by his brother. They havo ascertained that In addition to drinking a portion of a pint of beer at the residence of a Mr. Kregg on North Second street tho boy also drank five glasses of beer In the saloon of Peter Hartmann, 218 Graham avenue.

Young Faster not being accustomed to drinking, the police claim, must have been overcome by his unusual potations and was in an intoxicated condition when ho stole the money from Hartmann'a drawer, for which his brother afterward punished him. Aftor parting from the latter, they believe, he was afraid to go home, and, being very familiar with the upper section of the Eastern District, concludod that ono of the grain wagons on Waterbury street would afford a secure sholtor for the night. The police believe ihat he received tho blow over tho eye eithor by a kiek from his brother or by a stick, and hat on the way to Waterbury street, finding it swelling he stopped at a water trough and saturating bis handkerchief applied it to the wound. Whou his body was found he clutched in one hand a handkerchief that had evidently been dippod in water, but which bore no blood marks. In tho other he also clutched a handkerchief, on which were discernible a fow drops of blood.

The police think that ho climbed unaided into the wagon, whore bo soon became unconscious, In which condition ho died. The post mortem examination yesterday de veloped the fact that, in addition to the concussion of the brain, which Dr. Cleary, who conducted tho autopsy, said was the Immediate cause of death, the young man might have died from congestion of the heart. Tho police dhcradlt the story published in several pat ers that a gentleman, whose name Is withhold, had seen a scuffle on Sunday near the place where Pflstor's body was found and had hoard cries of murder. Dillgont Inquiry has failed to discover suoh a person.

Outside of police circles the theory is strongly maintained by soveral parties, and notably by the bDy'a father, that Pfister was wounded with fiue shot either by a gang of roughs or by a farmer In the neighborhood of the place where his body was found. When the body was discovered marks that looked like those that might bo caused by powder were noticod on the face and arms. The boy's father said that when his son left homo on Sunday aftornoon he did not have any such marks. Coronor Hesso, howovor, and the post mortem examiner deny that the marks wore caused by powder, and that they were simply abrasions of the skin, producod by pimples. Dr.

Cleary, the post mortem examiner, says that he examlaod them carefully and could find nothing to Indicate that they resulted from powder. He says he could, not and that any bullets or shot had struck the boy. The most popular theory entertained by those who dissent from that of the police is that young Pfister was caught prowling about by some farmer, who discharged the contents of a shot gun at him, which took effect In his wrists and face. These parties think that Pfister was at once killed and that his body, at a late hour, was carried to the grain wagon and placed therein. Others think that the boy was beaten and fatally injured by a gang of roughs.

They point to tho statement that tho body when found was covered with straw as proof that the boy nad not climbed into the wagon himself. But tho police dony that thero was any straw In tbo wagon at the time, and say that it was taken thero by an officer to cover the body with white removing it to the station house. John Hockel, who was prosont when young Pflstor's brother struck him as a punishment for his offense in stealing the is not inclined to talk much of tho caso, but neither he nor tho saloon keoper looks upon the beatlug as having boen a brutal or oven an unduly sovero one. No one but tho polico believes as yet, that tho oldor Pfister is guilty of having struck the fatal blow or blows. HROOKLY BOYCOTT BRICKS.

All the local assemblies of the Knights of Labor la Brooklyn have been attached to District Assembly 49, which is ruled by tho Home Club.

Tho Brooklyn Knights for a long tlmo have been anx Ioub to have a district of their own and the General Assembly in Cleveland, in spite of the opposition of the Home Club, by a close rote granted the petition. But although repeated efforts have been made to obtain the charter from the Executive Board, they havo been unsuccessful and the Brooklyn men propose to take the law Into tholr own hands. On Sunday nearly all tho locals in this city resolved to separate from District 49, relying on the authority of tho General Assembly to compel the Executivo Board to grant the charter. Secretary Turner, of that Board, told the Brooklyn delegation that he had no charter for them, and Mr. Powderly, when appealed to, was too busy to bother with It, consequently the knights of this city have lost a good deal of roBpect for the General Board.

A Lonily Announced to Flht Orer Editor Cntting's Caso flo Chanira at EI Paso Soldiers Bnildinjf Breast works Beyond the Bio Grande.

El Paso, 27. Consul Brigham bad received no official advices or instructions yesterday about the ponding International troubles, nor will ho bo apt to receive any for day or two, as the correspondence between the two governments is carried on direct botwoen Washington and the City of Mexico. Therefore, the xoctstatus of the question la not known here. j2i KnA rnntimt full of Mexican troops. The higher portions of the city aro plainly visible from the American sldo, and a numbor Cf troops can bo seen busy at something or other on an elevation back of tho historic Old cathedral, which American visitors to Paso del Norte always go to see.

It is thought that they are throwing up earthworks, for which that epot would be particularly adapted. The oom jnander of the Mexican post Is Colonel Unda, who achieved quite a reputation In the war against Maximilian, In which he was wounded. He is a man of letters and a poet He is by this tlmo, however, probably outranked by a commander of higher grade In tho army. In the few instances where Americans venture thoro they aro scowled at, and often they are summarily soarchod for weapons, end 11 any aro found they are tnkon away from them. The feeling among tho Mexican maseos is very bitter against Americans.

Thoy are quite defiant and say it will bo an easy matter for their country to whip the United States. They have somehow Drought themselves to believe that the firing of the first gun would bo a signal for the Southern States to come to their assistance to revenge themselves upon tho Northern States for tho disastrous outcome of the great civil war. Thoy likewise feel convinced that England would at once take their part and blockade the Atlantic and Gulf ports of tho United States. Benor Escapor, the Mexican Consul at El Paso, says that unless ono country or tho other backs down warcannot be averted, and, ho adds, "Mexico will never comply with the demand that has boon made. If it comes to that, you may bo Euro Mexico will accept war first." Senor Escapor is pretty apt to apeak by authority for he is known to have heretofore reflected tho sentiments of his government.

The Chief Justice of the State of Chihuuhua, Senor F. P. Homas, has arrived at El Paso del Norle, ostensibly for the purposo cf looking into tho Cutting matter. Senor Klucon, Private Secrotary of the Governor of Chihuahua, yesterday published a coutradlctlon of the report that jnade him slato to Consul Brigham that no moro troops would bo sont to I'aso dol Noi to. He says ho Is no position to know what movements the Mexican Federal troops will make.

ThoMoxican press is intonsely patriotic and bolllgerent and wants tho Government to listen to uo negotiations whatover. The Mexican paper published at Paso del Norte, the Obetreador Frontera, says: "Do you Amoricaus believe that because you belong to a populous nation you will cause our weaker nation to vacillate 7 You think so! Do you think that by noise and hurrahs you can scare our authorities Never believe It; never let it enter you miud. You can nover impose on the sons of a warlike and valiant nation." CHICAGO'S ANARCHIST TRIALS. JBJoro Witnesses TeBtlfrli4T "lower for the Prisoners. CHICAGO, July 27.

At the Anarchist trial this morning, Wbitln Allen, ft newspaper roporter, testified that he was at the Baymarket meeting. In his speech, said: "What good are these strikes going to do 7 What ar you going to gain by them 7 Do you think you are going to gain your point 7 No, you will have to go back to work for less wages than you formerly received." When he mentioned tho name of Jay Gould some one cried: "Hang him, throw hlra lutholako." Parsons said: "No, no; that won't do. If Jay Gould was put out of the way to day another Jay Gould, or ono hundred Jay Goulds, would rise up. It is not tho man, but tho system that ought to bo destroyed." The witness says the crowd were entirely in sympathy with Tarsoug and applauded him frequently. Mr.

Allen wag at Zepfs Hall when the explosion occurred. At the meeting at tho Haymarket he saw Spies, Parsons, Fielden and ho thought Bchwab, but is not certain of the latter. C. B. Tuthlll, another reporter, was at the Hay market, but not on assignment, and wbllo Parsons was speaking.

Tho witness thought the crowd was xnade up of two classes, those opposed to tho speaker, and they were in the majority, and thoso in sympathy with tho speaker, and appeared, to bo more enthusiastic than the leaders of tho meeting. A stout, matronly woman, whoso ample figure was enfolded iu a dress of whlto lawn, was in Judge Gary's Court early this morning with a number of bouquets. When the Anarchists were brought in from the Jail tho woman in white roso in a hurry, and, quickly running over to the prisoners, gave each one of thorn a bunch of flowers. It has recently come to tho knowledge of the State Attorney that for tho past two yoars tho Canadian Government keeps two expert dotectlvoB In this city watching tho movements of Chicogo dynamiters in regard to their connection with the Biel rebellion and other insurrectionary movements contemplatod but not carried out in this country In 1679 80 Thomas Sweeny, an active ward politician Of the City of Ottawa, Ont, and a trustod workor in the Consorvatlvo cause, frequently commissioned to important private sorvlco by Sir John MncDou ald, occupied the position of Canadian Immigration Agent, traveling constantly bcttvoen Chicago and tho International boundary lino at Si. Vincent on tho Manitoba road.

While in this position ho made tho of a number of Chicago Anarchists, learned their douigus and communicated the case to Sir John Macdonald. Boon after Mr. Sweeny was promoted to the position of land guide in tho provlnco of Manitoba, but he frequently came East to moot immigration partios, and in that waykopt up his connection With tho 8chomeB of the Chicago Anarchists. Ho also won ovor tho confidence of certain agitators in Manitoba, and was enabled, in connection with an American named Wilson, to disclose a schomo to tho Canadian GoToruraont for tho insurrection uprising In that province, so that it was nipped in the bud. In a short tlmo thereafter Thomas Sweeny and the man Wilson through whose instrumentality the discoveries wore mado, left Winnipeg and took up their rosidonce in Chicago.

This was in tho Winter Of 1884. From that dato until within a fow months, Mr. Sherwood, Chiof of tho Dominion Detective forco, and the hoad of the Canadian Government, have boon kept thoroughly posted concerning the doaigno and movements of tho Anarchist!) in Chicago and In How York. Sweeny is also supposed to bo ablo to giro the names and numbers, especially tho lattor, of those jn.tu,i rt h.n hnnihR (in tho and 4th of May in different sections of tho city, but tnts may noi ue rarmi, for some time boforo that date.

A Jorge quantity of dynamlto, Bhlppod from Chicago to tho Lnko Suporlor region, ostensibly for mining purposes, or about to bo shipped, having been paid for by Chicago or Now York Anarchists, was discovered tho day it was to havo boeu dispatched, having been purchased in assumod namos, and was withhold, at the instance of Sweeny or his associate, and tho Chicago firm still holds the money for the same, over $100, together with the affidavit of the detoctivo making tho disclosure.

Three Hundred and Titty Thousand DoJ lars Allowed for tno Federal Building. Alderman Kano's War Record Cleared. Small Achievements of tho Present Session. Special to the Engle. Washington, July 27.

The Brooklyn delegation aro Jubilant to day. Last evening, Mahono in the Senate reportod favorably a bill appropriating $300,000 for tho construction of a Federal public building in Brooklyn. That measure was passed without debate. Tho delegation will now make a dolermlnod effort to socuro an amendment to the measuro which passed tho IIouso and whioh only appropriated that Brooklyn will receive the lull amount granted by tho Senate. Congressman Jfahoncy Is especially ploasod: not only is ho gratlflod over tho passage of tho Federal Public Building bill, but tho Seuate, upon motion of Senator Sowell, passed his bill removing the charge of "Absonco without loavo'1 from the war record of Alderman Kane.

This bill was also passed without debate. Mr. Mahonoy's Dill has already passed the Houso, and it only needs tho President's signature to boconio a law. It is known here that Mr. Cleveland will sign tho bill.

The record of tho labors of Congress shows that few acts of the first Importance have been placed upon the statute book; not that thousands of bills, somo useful and many otherwise, havo not been introduced and aftor employing the energies of committees for months have been reported favorably or advorsely as their respective merits seemed to require. The flood of now bills has, iu fact, been unprecedented and the number of important measures debated and passed by ono House or the other has been very considerable. Congressmen have been exceptionally hard worked and It cannot be said that they have f.ot individually endeavored to servo their constituents honestly and to tho host of tholr ability. But tho fact romalns that, apart from the regular appropriation bills, the legislative result is almost nothing. Few of the grave matters recommonded to the attention of Congress by President Cleveland have been suitably actod upon.

Such as havo boon dealt wiih in the House have failed in tho Senato and vice vorsa. Much needed legislation that originated in the Senate has not obtalnod tho approval of tho House. The fact that the two nouses differed in politics and both wero in somo respects at variance with the Executive accounts Iu part for their unproductiveness, but othor causes have oporated to prevout positvvo results. The diversity of Interosts and opinions iu its vurlous parts and the inexperience of tho average Congressman in the matter upon which he is expected to act, rendora prompt action upon any large question almost impracticable. The Presidential Succession bill has bocomo a law, but there la a long list of Tariff, Sliver, Land Forfeiture, Interstate Commerce, Mormon, Electoral Count, Labor, Army.

Navy, Fortification and other bills in which tho oountry is interested, but with which either the Senate or House has found itself Incapable of dealing. Upon tho question of tariff reform, the West and 6outh were thwarted by the Kast. In the matter of stopping the coinage of light weightsilvor dollars the East was thwarted by tho West and South. Tho coheslvo force of party loyalty has not in these matters been ablo to withstand tho influence of supposed sectional and personal interests. As regards measures dealing with Interstate commerce and public lands, the eloquence of corporation lawyers has perhaps had undue weight.

In other matter store Indifference or a sonso of tho difficulty of mastering details In tho time at command has oporatod to clog the wheels of the legislative machine. HARD LIKES FOB TJIE POOH. A Deplorable State of Affairs Beyond Newtown Creek. Special to the Eagle.J Long Island July 27. The inhumanity of tho Charities Officers of Long Island City in refusing to giro relief to the poor has resulted iu tho death of two of John Casey's children from cholera infantum.

Coroner Robinson says that ho found tho family in a complete state of destitution and gave Mrs. Casey $2 with which to buy somo provisions to keep tho. family from dying of starvation. Tho physician who usually attends the sick poor will not respond to any calls because the city does not pay his bills; the grocorymen will not honor the orders of the Overseer of tho Poor because their bills for last year's supplies have not been settled, the Mayor having retro 1 tho audit, on tho ground that the Ovar. eor exceeded In his expenditures the limit allowed by law.

Loiiff Island City's Health Gnardlans Kettre from Office. Special to the Engle.J I.ono Island City, July 27. Tho Indifference of the Board of Health, of Long Island City, to tho nuisances along Now Town Creek, which are seriously affecting tho health of the people has caused much scandal and led to an uncomplimentary discussion of tho motives controlling tho officials.

The trouble culminated today in tho resignation from the Board of Commissioners Burnott, Capabon and Muchmore, which leaves tho city without any Health Board at all. Thoy refuse to say why they resigned, but it is understood that political Influenco3 made It impossible for the Board to do Its duty, as the factory votes nre wanted in tho Fail election.

Can the Flatbush Board of Health Collect Them? General Wingate Contends That They Ara Illegal Counselor Gaynor's Arguments on the Other Side. The argument on the injunction proceedings to restrain the Flatbush Board of Health from collecting tho $1 fee for the Interment of persons born outside the township, wa9 resumod beforo Justice Cullen iu the Supreme Court this morning. Mr. William J. Gaynor, representing Suporvieor Pigott, submitted an affidavit sworn to by tho latter.

This dooumont sets forth that there are three cemeteries In the township of Flatbush, that a great many interments or persona irom adjoining counties take place there annually aud that it is nocossary for the proper and sanitary regulation of the cemeterlos that pormlla should bo applied for, so that the Board might know wno was going to bo burled thero. General Wlngato This is simply an attempt to make untaxed land pay a revenue, or to restrict burials or raise a revenue. Many porsons are buried annually In the free ground wh03o friends cannot afford the foe. I Bupposo they must bo ero mated or thrown ort tno dock tney may not oa hnrtnri. Tho Board has no rlaht to prohibit bur ials unlcBS on the ground that the public health may be ooparmou, ana mis nas uoi ueou ouowu ho tho cjinn.

The action of tho local board in In sisting on niakina local permits necessary is op posed to public policy as duplicating recorue. Mr. Gaynor Who pays for the funerals of those who aro burled la the free ground 1 General Wlngato woooay. Mr. Gaynor Thon the undertaker should pay tho fee.

General Wingate In all other cemeterlos the permit of the local board In whose Jurisdiction the death takes place Is accepted. Tho local Board of Flatbush has no ngnt ai au to oroam any pruuiui tive law any more than any other b)dy. Mr. Gaynor It is necessary, In view of the many interments taking place annually in the township, that the local Board should havo some cognizance of oach case, and this can only bo done when an application for a permit is made. Tho rules of the local Board require a permit from the local Board beforo a body can be interred within tho township.

All other local Boards are entitled to grant Is a transit permit. How is the local Board to know whether a death re suite from somo contagious disease If it does cot issue tbo pormlt? The cemeteries are crowded, and if the local Board oould not ascertain the fact a body yet impregnated with the germs of smallpox or yellow lover might bo burled in a crowded grave near the surface, and so tho public health would bo endangered. There may bo reciprocal arrange ments hetweon oiner places wmirooy a iranoit permit may be as valid as a burlnl permit, but Flat bush does not mute any suon arrangement The Court Whore is tho authority to demand a fee by public offlcors where It is not prescribed by law 1 Mr. Gaynor That I shall leave to your Honor to answor in your opinion. We infsiitt upon the broad principle that a permit is necessary Deioro an interment takes place.

Whether wo have to abandon the charge of $1 Is outside the grounds wo take. If tho charge is abolished, persons desiring to bury their frionds will have to go to tho trouble of going to Flatbush and obtaining the permit in advance, which will entail a greater exponse. Genoral Wingate I Question whether thoy have the right to forco a payment Indirectly which 1b illegal directly. I suppose thoy will make It as onerous ns possible. The court wave tney not tne rigni 10 verity me permits 7 General Wingate The comotcry authorities have, hut not the local Board.

The statutes make It a very serious crime to forge a burial permit, Rnd that Is not likely to bo dono, becaueo this resolution might be declared lllogat.
