the attitude of Turkey toward the Armenians. The resolutions extended sympathy to the suffering people, and said that their long continued slaughter was a reproach against clvlliation. It suggested that steps be taken by the United States government to protect American missionaries in Turkey and that churches do Ml in their power to aid the Armenians. The mover of the resolutions hoped that the chief executive of the nation, a Presbyterian President, would give heed to the petition. A delegate said he hoped bo, but he feared Hot.

General Prime 'took the floor and spoke warmly In favor of the resolutions. Me alluded to the action taken by the people? of England as one worthy of approval.

W. H. Hudnut of Grace Presbyterian church, this city, in order to facilitate business made a motion, but subsequently withdraw it and then followed man' motions and amendments and a somewhat breezy discussion for the time beting, that led many persons present to think that there might be a possible revival of the Brlgga controversy.

On Monday she wont away to look for a proniiBod pouition in a Turkish bath establishment. A Playmate Said to Have Struck Him on tho Jaw.

Gustav Sperber, 8 years old. Is In a dying condition at the homo of his stepfather, The dore Koster, 2.1 Rush street, from a fractured Jaw, about which un abscess has formed, caused, the doctors say, by a blow or fall. Tho boy himself says that on August 15 last ho and a coniianloii named Joseph McElroy, who lives almost directly opposite, at 20 Rush street, quarreled over a strap, and that McElroy struck him a blow oti the jaw with his fist. Soon after receiving tho Injury Sperber became unable to chew his food and his mother took him to the Brooklyn Throat hospital, at South Third street and Bedford avenue. Here his case was diagnosed as a broken jaw.

A week later tho boy was taken, by advice, to the Long Island College hospital, where two operations were performed upon him and several small detached portions of the jaw removed. After each operation, however, there was a renewal of the abscess. His mother took him home from the 'hospital a week ago last Sunday. Since then he has had four hemorrhages and last night was unconscious for several hours. lie Is attended by Dr.

White. Yesterday some one who had heard of the caso sent an anonymous communication to the police of the Clymer street station, with the result that Detectlvo Hayes and Dolan wero put 011 the case. Last night they arrested the boy McElroy, and at tho Leo avenue police court this morning ho was paroled in tho custody of his mother by Civil Justice Schnitzpan to await tho outcome of Sorter's iihioss. No one appeared to prosecute on Sperber's behalf except the officers, but after tho dismissal of the case Koster, the boy's stepfather, intimated through a lawyer that he desired the case withdrawn. For tho present the mater will rest in tho coroner's hands.

TWO SHOTS IN HIS EAE, FIRED BY HARMUTH WITH SUPPOSED SUICIDAL INTENT. His Friends Say the Old Man Meant to Murder His Wife First Has Tried Suicide Before. Martin Harmuth, C4 years old, a German truck driver, who claims to live at Winfield, L. approached Theodore Katzer of 3f Powers street, who was waiting for a car at Knickerbocker avenue and Starr street about 1:30 o'clock this morning, witn blood streaming from the side of his head and asked Katzer to get an ambulance. The latter got a policeman who took Harmuth to the Hamburg avenue station In a patrol wagon.

Before entering the station the old man threw a box of cartridges Into the street. He told the sergeant at the desk that while sitting on the stoop of the house where his wife Uvea, on Knickerbocker avenue.near Stockholm street, waiting for her return, a man whom ho did not know and could not describe came out of the hallway and shot him twice in the right ear. That was at 1 o'clock this morning. The police found a revolver with blood 011 it and two chambers discharged in Hartnuth's hip pocket. In another pocket was a piece of rope.

The man was intoxicated and the conclusion reached by Police Captain Early, who personally investigated the case, was that the woundofl ftian' had tried to kill himself. Harmuth was taken to St. Catharine's hospital a prisoner. He is not hurt much, the bullets not having penetrated his skull, but he was not in proper condition this morning to be taken to court to answer a charge of attempted suicide has been lodged against him by the police. According to his own story, the qld man has not been living with his wife for nine years.

He says she picked up the furniture and departed with the chuldren one day when he was away at work, and that he could not find her after that until yesterday, when he discovered where she lives. He declined to tell why she left him. According to his wife and children, Harmuth was deserted because of his drinking habits, brutality to his family and general worthless ness. He has visited one of his sons, a man of 30 years, at 2.12 Knickerbocker avenue, a number of times within the last nine years. It was known that he had threatened to kill Mrs.

Harmuth and she was on her guard when the old man knocked at her door yesterday afternoon. She told her daughters to tell him that she had gone out, and meanwhile left the house by a rear exit. Harmuth asked tor money and got a dollar. With this he left and bought drink, returning about 10 o'clock last night. When he knocked r.t the door all the lights were out and the family were in bed, although they heard the knocking and knew the visitor and his purpose.

No response was made and Harmuth went down stafrs and sat on the stoop to wait for his wife's coming. It Is supposed by the police that his suicidal purpose was formed after his patience was exhausted, for he stayed on the stoop from 10 o'clock till a little after 1 this morning. Nobody who could be found in the neighborhood heard the shots. His relatives were not enough concerned about him to call at the hospital to day. One of tdc rn, after asking tho reporter as to his condition, said: "Well, he'll kill his wife and himself yet If he gets over this.

He told us he would many a time." Several years ago Harmuth tried to kill himself by stabbing. Ho told the police then that somebody else had cut him. 20,000 DELEGATES EXPECTED AT THE BAPTIST CONVENTION IN THIS CITY NEXT JULY. Ambrose Park Has Been Secured for the Meetings Committees Rapidly Perfecting Arrangements. The committee of Baptists which Is arranging for tho convention of the Y'oung People's Baptist union of America in this city next year, is rapidly perfecting its arrangements.

The general committee Is a large one, ait the head of which is C. R. Hetlleld, and it Is divided into sub committees, which have taken up the details of raising the money for expenses, about $12,000 being needed. Frank Harvey Field Is chairman of the finance committee and already much has been done toward securing the funds. James M.

Hudnut is chairman of the press committee and he and his co workers will see that the men who do the work for thu newspapers are 7)roperly taken care of. There arc committees on printing, on entertainment, on badges, 011 reception of delegates, etc. The problem of getting a place large enough for the great gathering has boon solved by the hiring of Ambrose park, which Is regarded as a central point. Tho contract has been 3igned, or will be In a few days. It gives tho young Baptist" possession of that spacb us place for the month of July, 1 SKT.

I Tho convention will begin on the lfith, 1SD7, after the Tho work of getting the park into shape will bo begun Just as soon as. the contract is signed, will be renovated, a canvas roof will bo stretched across the whole big pavilion and provision will bo made to put other portions of tho grounds In condition for holding such other meetings as may be found necessary. It. is expected that there will be fully twenty thousand delegates In tho city for the young people's unions and other societies In the Baptist donemlnatlon throughout the United States and Canada. It will be the largest Bap I tlst gathering ever held In Brooklyn.

The delegates will not bo entertained freo, as this has not boon the custom in other cities whore the convention has mot, but arrangements will bo made for them at private homes and hotels I at reduced rates. The programme of speakers and dot alla of the meetings has not yet, of course, been completed, but work Is going on In this respect. PROMINENT ENGINEER DEAD. London, October Tho distinguished Engineer firitathead is dead. lie was called In consultation with regard to tho building of a tunnel under the IIudnon river to connect Now I York and Jersey City, Judge Aspinall Exercises Clemency and Suspends Sentence.

AFFECTING SCENE IN COURT. His Honor's Voice Trembled as He Gave tlw Woman Her Freedom She Was Convicted of Manslaughter for Complicity in the Death ot Emily Binney Husband, Wife and Children Reunited. Judgo Asplnatll in tho county court this morning, suspended sentence in the caso of Mrs. Minnie Meyer, who was convicted a fortnight ago of the crime of manslaughter In tho first degree, as Indicted, for bolng implicated with others in causing tho death of Miss Emily L. Blimey, formerly a student at the girls' high school.

The jury had, on returning the verdict of guilty, accompanied it with a request for extreme clemency. There were other circuniBtances that evidently had weight with Judge Aspinall In suspending sentence. Among these was the fact that Mrs. trouble had brought to her her husband, from whom she had been separated since 1834, and he, too, pleaded for clemency for the sake of their little children, a boy and a girl. AU the Meyer family were In court this morning when Clerk Vandoren summoned Jlrs.

Meyer to the bar for sentence. It was plain that sho expected to go to prison. There was oppressive silence in the room when Mrs. Meyer was conducted from the prisoners' pen to the railing In front of the bench. Her husband, leading by the hand a little girl and boy, camo forward, and on reaching a place near his wlfo released the children's hands, and although a stolid appearing man, he produced a handkerchlf and wiped his eyes.

As for Mrs. Meyer, she was overcome. Her face was pale and pinched, and as she stood before hl. honor tears gathered and rolled down her cheeks. Y'et she, evidently made a strenuous effort to control her feelings.

Clerk Vandoron asked the usual questions put to a prisoner as to any objections as to why sentence should not be Inflicted. Mrs. Meyer's answers could not be heard by the clerk and a court officer had to repeat them. She said that she was 30 years old, a seamstress by occupation and that she lived at 415 Bushwick avenue. In reply to the question why the sentence of the court should not be pronounced, Mrs.

Meyer looked at Judge Aspinall and shook her head. His honor looked at the prisoner and then turned to look at the children. There was a distinct tremble in his voice as he began to speak. He said: "Mrs. Meyer, you have been fairly tried by this court, treated with great consideration by the assistant district attorney who tried your case, Mr.

Crane, and very ably defended by Counsellors Fl eckles and Settel. The jury deliberated over your case between five and six hours, and they finally found you guilty as charged, with a strong recommendation to the mercy of the court. That certainly embarrasses the court to this extent that It leaves the entire burden on the court to decide whether you shall be sentenced or not, uid particularly In a case of this kind do I feel that burden. I believe that you have suffered pretty nearly enough. Yau have been in Jail for seven or eight months, while the parties who ure actually guilty and the woman who performed the operation were out on bail.

The worst that can be said ef you, I think. Is that your sympathy for the unfortunate young woman allowed this crime to be committed In your house. The jury, notwithstanding their verdict, have sent a written communication to me, signed by all but cue, entreating me to exercise the utmost clemency in your case. They have also asked me to suspend sentence entirely. It is certainly a most embarrassing position for the ccrurt.

I think you have been pmi'lshed enough, and I will suspend sentence in your case. Y'ou may go." Mrs. Meyer, who had been crying while the judge was speaking, now wept harder than ever.She looked at the judge, but could not speak. Mr. Meyer, however, as he took the children in charge again, managed to say "Thank you" as he passed the judge on his way out of the court roorThe reunited family took a car up town.

Mr. and Mrs. Meyer were married In 1S87 and they lived in Eighty first street In New York. They quarreled in 1S95 and Mrs. Meyer came to live In the Bushwick aveune house, where she made a living In dolmg tailoring work.

Meyer remained in New York, where ho worked for a soda bottling concern in East Fifty sixth street. He did not come near his wife until the day she was found guilty. Thc he asked Lawyer Kleckles. counsel for Mrs. Meyer, to help him to a reconciliation.

That was soon effected and Meyer went to Judge Aspinall and asked for clemency. The Meyer family will go back to their old home in Eighty first street. Assistant District Attorney Crane, whose efforts resulted in Mrs. Meyer's conviction, said, after her release, that ho was pleased with the result, as he believed it was under the circumstances tho best thing that could have been done. The petition alluded to by Judge Aspinall is as follows: Brooklyn, N.

Octobr 1G, 1S90. To the Hen. Joseph Aspinall. County Judgi of Kings County: Wo the undersigned members of the Jury, in the case ef the Peoplo of the Stato of New York at alnst Minnie Meyer, found ftuilty a Indicted and whom wc recommended to the extreme mercy of tho court, do irnw earnestly entreat your honor to exercise tho utm jst clemency In bor ljehalf, iH liovlnir. ns we do.

that the unfortunate woman hfus already loon sunidontly punished by bor long conflm msnt In prison for th part she took In the offeiise of which sho wns found pullty. We an? credibly Informed that the husband ami the children are ready once again to rejoin the mother in endoavvirlnff to live a united, peaceful and honorable life, and we pray that your iwnor, for tho sake of the children and the father, as well as tho unhuirpy mother, rr ay lend your good of lices toward reuniting these atnlcted ones, by sus enilliiK sentence over Minnie Meyer.

The Foot Ball Game May Be Far From One Sided. Ithaca, X. October 23 Judging by the earnest practice that Is going on at Cornell In preparation for the Harvard Cornell foot bal contest Saturday, Cornell will make tho contest far from one sided. The practice has developed a vim and and grit which has not characterized the team In preceding games and the men as a whole are In first rate condition. Cornell is wondering who will do tho goal kicking for her.

No one has succeeded at goal kicking this year, but it is probable that Ritchie will be allowed to try his hand Saturday. Ileacham and McKeovor, who have established enviable foot ball reputations thus early In the season, will be the backs on the home eleven, unless they become too lame for the work. Doth have been rather lame this week, but it Is thought they will regain their former vigor. It has been many years since Harvard has met Cornell on tho gridiron In Ithaca and It Is safe to say that thero will bo as great. If not greater attendance than the field has ever had.

FOUR FEDERAL PRISONERS Whoso Discharge Lawyer Devenny Will Demand. Lawyer Devonney notified United States District Attorney Dennett this morning that he should move for the discharge of John Mars, William Wllliam, Ooorge Petors and Fitzgurald Trotman if they wero not Indicted by the grand jury, which moots on Thursday of next week. These men are tho negroes who are charged with the murder of Antonio lirecn, the cook on the American brigantino Henry Ii. Cleaver, at San Juan, I'orto Rico, on July 12. Tho chances are that the district ii.trnrnev will unnblo nittnin the n'ciyiR'irv witnesses against the men by that tlmo, and will agree to their release.

DEATH OF GENERAL PAVIA. Madrid, October 23 Captain General Payia is dead. IS FRESH FROM CALIFORNIA. The Long Journey by Train Completed at Weehawlvon List Night Surgeon Flick Kept Busy Through the Change of Climate Not One Desertion on the Trip Old Acquaintances at the Fort. Nino Officers and 240 Enlisted Men.

At 12:30 this afternoon Colonel W. M. Graham of the Fifth United States artillery assumed command of the artillery headquarters at Fort Hamilton. About the same time two foot batteries, A and arrived on a big barge from the titi at Weehawkon ferry, fresh from their Jotffliey across the country from tho Pacific coast. The assignment of tho barracks to the different batteries was the work of but a few minutes and thon commenced the work of transferring tho Tho commandant Is always addressed by his fellow officers and men as General Graham, having earned that title by brevet.

He is considered one of the most efficient officers in tho army. His record Is an excellent one and he took part in many Important engagements during the civil war. General Graham's command extends to Forts Wadsworth and Slo cum and David's Island, where the Fifth artillery Is distributed. The train bearing tho artillerymen arrived at Weebawken ferry last night too late to complete the journey down the narrows. At 7 o'clock this morning the men were hard at work loading up the barges with their trunks.

The freight car with the artillery effects on board were taken to the fort on barges late this afternoon and there will bo some lively moving to make the barracks habitable for to night. Tho officers and men locked as though they had put in a week's hard service as they stepped off the boat. Each enlisted man was fully equipped as though for field service. This included his knapsack, blanket, extra underclothing, shoes and the like. The new quartermaster at Fort Hamilton Is Lieutenant Smith.

lie relieved Lieutenant A. G. Todd at noon to day. The latter will leave at once for his own regiment in Florida. There were 240 enlisted men and nine officers who made tho trip.

They left San Francisco at o'clock on the night of the 15th and the railroads traversed to complete the run were the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Central Pacific, Nickle Plate and the West Shore. Tho train was made up of one Pullman car for the officers, twe tourists' sleepers for the married men and their families, which includes the members of the colonel's staff; eight tourists' cars for the single men, two baggage and ten freight cars. Beside the commander, the others on the train were Quartermaster Adams', Adjutant Galbraith, Captains Roberts, Hill and Woods and Dr. Flick. The trip was not made without mishap.

The train had only reached near Ogden, when one of the wheels uf the married men's section split in half. The train was moving slowly and the result was not serious, but the occupants were badly shaken up. It was necessary to strip the car entirely, turn it completely over and out of the way to clear the tracks, couple the two sections and hurry to Ogden for another car. which was promptly furnished. It was the new car that caused another delay near Syracuse on Wednesday night, when its bumper was pulled out.

Yesterday morning the disabled car was replaced by an ordinary day coach, in which the unlucky occupants had to complete the trip. The accidents accounted for the soldiers' being nearly twelve hours late. The busiest man on the trip was Dr. Flick. The children en beard were affected by the climatic changes as they crossed the continent, and one man, while on guard duty, developed a bad case of pneumonia and is still confined.

The men were not allowed to leave the train except in a few instances, where stops for an hour or over were made. At other times the cars were heavily guarded, the men on duty tandlng on the rear platforms as the train neared and left a station. Th. re were thirty men on guard all the time. The few privileges allowed the men to get out were not abused, for not a single man deserted.

This is exceptional, as there are usually four or five men who manage to get away when rhey reach a town they like. Uncle Sam provided, beef, beans, hardtack and coffee for the enlisted men, but at every opportunity, when outside purchases could be made, this menu was varied. The and married men provided for their own meals. Colonel Graham had his eye on everything on the trip. He personally managed and superintended every detail.

It Is only six years ago sinco the Fifth artillery left Fort Hamilton and It was like coming home to most of the boys. No other artillery In the service is more heartly welcomed by the residents at tho fert, for the boys of the Fifth are by far the most popular of any that have been there since the war. Colonel Graham, is not known here and the reputation that has preceded him Is that he is a man with a big heart and a strict disciplinarian. Hf is constantly anions his men and sees that they get all they are entitled to. Ho is oneof the few commanders who encourages the enlistment of married men.

because they make the better soldiers. When the train arrlveS at Weehawkon last night, his first thought was frtr the benedicts. Before the engine was brought to a standstill, he sent orders that all married men of his staff, which includes the baud, could leave the train and report at the fort this morning. Captain Benjamin Roberts, Eldridge Hill and Thorpe were all first lieutenants when here before. Their friends in this section will now have their first chance to congratulate them on their promotion.

Captains Lomla, Wood and McClelland, who are now with their batteries at Fort Wadsworth, and at David's Island, were also lieutenants at Fort Hamilton, and they have also been promoted. Bandmaster Frank left here as principal musician and returns as the leader. Nine of his men remained behind, having that privilege, and fifteen came on with him, inot of them having been here before. Under the leadership of Mr. Frank, the band has maintained its excellent standard.

Light battery Captain Thorpe, is still In Sun Francis, 'o, and it will be over a week before it will come Fast. None of the light batteries of the three regiments recently transferred has ye; loft Its post. To day the government opens bills for the transportation of Light, battery fnm Fort Hamilton to Fort Houston, Light battery F. from Presidio tti Fort Hamilton, and Light battery from Fert Hamilton. Te.v., to San Fr.ntciscj.

The men take nothing with then: but. their clothes. All the field equipments, hort.es and the like, remain behind, for the use of the new men. Captain Dillcnbach of Fort Hamilton retrrets leaving b' Mnd him his horses, r.o which he has become very much attached. Ho figured In many parades in this section and the splendid showing nf both his men and horses has never failed to attract attention.
