It is settled now that the Reformers will very shortly establish a church of that denomination at Bay Ridge. The first and very as the time to go over tho routes. The route proposed after to day's outing is from Ridge wood through Myrtle avenue, to Knickerbocker avenue, to Meserole street, to Graham avo nue, to Grand street, to Kent avenue and thence to the north through Kent avenue to the Tenth and Twenty thlrd street ferries. Today we thought this route moat favorable indeed, and when put in operation I am confident that It will work to the greatest advantage in the business Interests of Grand street. We also thought tho route, once started, would work most successfully in the interests of tie railroad company.

In reference to any other matters that have come up before the board, to day's trip is only carrying out the negotiations begun on January 2. I want to made that plain. During the journey a motion was passed unanimously and without a dissenting voice, that this was the best route in the Interests of the board." Edward MeGarvey, a member of the standing committee on railroads, said: "The new route takes in part of the Bushwick and Flushing routes, part of the Ridgewood and part of the Newtown routes. The members present were unanimous in favor of It. Mr.

Rossiter said he was quite certain he could give us this route, and would most likely give us also the Fresh Pond route, which we went over in the afternoon, running it down parallel with Union avenue read to come Into Grand street. The tracks are already laid and new switches are only necessary. I presume tho new Ridgewood route will be put in operation within six weeks." Secretary Edward J. Doyle, who repeated a good part of Secretary Piper's statement, added: "In going over the ground to day the understanding was that the company would turn down either the East New Ycrk or Ridgewood routes Into Grand street, as we thought best. It was tho unanimous sentiment of our party that he line from Richmond Hill would be the most advantageous to us.

Both routes now switch into Broadway at Graham avenue." Robert Whalen said: "We decided that we would accept the first route up Grand street, Graham avenue, Meserole street, Knickerbocker avenue, Myrtle avenue and so on to Ridgewood and Jamaica. This line will turn into Grand street at Graham avenue. It gees down South Fourth street to the Broadway ferry at the present time. The route to Newtown and Maspeth, In my opinion, does not amount 'to anything. The other road witch wo are to get will, I am sure, prove the resurrection of the eastern district.

I favor it and would obtain signatures at my own expense to bring it through, if necessary. When wo do get it, I intend to decorate the entire building and glvo my boys one good holiday."

Itocines. DREAMS AND THICIIt SIG NIFiCAJiGE (page SjUJ. Soap Lortr Hudson Harrison Sts, N.Y. NEW MR TO HAVE A HEARING, Lexo'w and His Sub Committee to Sit on Saturday, CONSOLIDATIONISTS AT ALBANY. General Wingate Tells the Legislators That Brooklyn Is Only a Village and That the Average Brooklynite Doesn't Know Anything About It Asa W.

Teimey's Statistics on the Growth of London. (Special to the Eagle.) Albany, N. January 30 Senator Lero is continually altering the plans ol his consolidation sub comnUctee. At the conclusion of the second hearing In Brooklyn he announced that the committee was through with that section, but later he altered his mind and consented to concede two more meetings Then there was a hearing at Albany yesterday, and the senator had positively stated that it would be the last of the series. When the session closed, however, the chairman announced that there would be a hearing in part I of the supreme court In the criminall court buJldlng, New York, on Saturday, at 10:30 A.

M. The hearing yesterday was a long one, but very tame. Owing probably to uhe fact of the brief notice, few spectators were on hand in the a ssembly chamber, when at 3 o'clock; Chairman Lexow called the committee to order. The only visitors from out of town were a little band of consol'Malionists, led by James Matthews, and including the following New Yorkers and Brooklynites: Police Commissioner Parker, Russell Parker, General George W. Wingate, Asa W.

Tenney, James D. Lynch, George W. Ohauncey, Lemuel D. Burrows, W. S.

Hurley, John Brokaw, B. C. Miller and Alfred E. Henshel. As soon as the committee was called to order, Senator Brush read a telegram from' William C.

Redfield, president of the League of Loyal Citizens, declaring that his organization was ready to rest Its case on what 'had already been said at the previous hearings. The telegram was filed with Stenographer Lammert. "Is there anyone here who desires to talk on consolidation?" inquired the chairman, and as there was no response, he asked if anyone In favor of the bill desired to ho heard, adding: "I think it would be well If those who speak would confine their arguments to new grounds or new ideas and not thrash over the old field." In response to this Invitation, Mr. Matthews took the floor and exhibited telegrams from David A. Boody, Abraham Straus, Howard Gibb, B.

F. Sutton, G. L. Morse, H. C.

Burton, James H. Stearns, F. D. Soper, A. H.

Doty. B. G. Williams. William G.

Bur ton, Thomas Adams, and Henry Batter man, all expressing sorrow that they could not take the trip to Albany, and affirming their faith in consolidation. These telegrams were not read, and when the members of the committee had taken a comprehensive view of them. General George W. Wingate was introduced to speak on consolidation. General Wingate devoted his time principally to taiKing aoout tnose people wno were against consolidation, saying they were sen timentalists, and did not know what they' were talking about.

Here are two extracts from his remarks: "Some of the people of the village of Brooklyn, for its nothing else but a go out into the streets and have fits whenever the subject of consolidation is mentioned. Even the sentimental claim has no force. The average Brooklynite knows nothing about the city, except to preambulate mile about his house, and how to get over to New York." General Wingate was followed by Asa W. Tenney, who, in the course of his remarks, made some novel statements. For example, talking about the growth of England's capital, he said that old London covered one square mile, while the present city includes within Its borders 122.000 square miles.

No one questioned Judge Tenney on this asser tlon. The speaker claimed that the vote on re submission was a fair one. Mr. Tenney also claimed that there was no instance in the history of the state or country where a case had been decided in the affirmative that it has ever been resubmitted upon tha same proposition. It was only when people were defeated that they cried for resubmission.

He considered such action on their part as being unconstitutional and un American, because, he alleged, the people had once fully expressed themselves on the subject. "Mr. Tenney," said Dr. Brush, quietly. "Do you consider that the vote cast heretofore has carried any binding obligation to act upon tbe legislature?" The speaker replied that he thought it as expressive as the vote cast last fall for the new constitution.

"Then," commented Dr. Brush, "the legislature ot last year failed to do its duty, I presume." "I am not discussing that now," retorted Mr. Tenney. "I have my own views on that matter." "I desire to say," interrupted Senator Lexow, "that the legislature of last year tried to do its duty, but while the assembly did it, the senate failed to do so." Mr. Teney then went on to say that no such, thing as a referendum in regard to the charter of a city had ever been heard of.

He said that the legislature made charters and If the people did not like them, they could be, amended by future legislatures. Senator ray followed Mr. Tenney and read a telegram from the Young Republican club of Brooklyn favoring referendum. 'I heard that, but it doesn't represent tha feeling of the club," interrupted Mr. Tenney.

Police Commissioner Parker of New York, who is the author of the Greater New York bill, addressed the committee, and, referring the recent annexation of a good part of; Westchester county to New York, said there naa oeon no serious irouDie there. Me de uiareu me suKKregtiiiun 01 many people in adjoining communities with different governments had been the curse of London and they had been trying for years to overcome it. but without success." Senator McNulty and Assemblymen Eb betts and Newman, three Kings county Democrats, announced to the committee that they favored consolidation and would vote for it, but added the saving clause, "Unless there is politics in it." Secretary Henshel of the Greater New York commission spoke in favor of the bill prepared by that body, which caused Assemblyman Edward Brennan to remark to several friends: "There is an exhibition of principle vs. interest, a man speaking In favor of a measure that will throw him out of a fat job, if It goes through." When Mr. Henshel concluded his remarks it was 5:30, and the committee adjourned to meet la New York next Saturday.

Baldwin. The ministers spent two hours discussing the menu and chatting between courses. The after dinner speeches were reserved to be delivered in the church proper when the congregation was gathering while the clergymen were finishing the dinner. There was not an inch of standing room in the church when the diners led Dr. Eddy to the pulpit.

Several companies of the Baptist boys' brigade preceded the pastor from the dining room to the church and were drawn up in line in the left aisle, where they presented arms as the ministers marched down the aisle. The Revs. Eddy, Kelsay, Calvert, Seymour, Wells, Lyman, McArthur, Moorehouse and Humpstone took seats on the pulpit and a platform built around it which was beautifully decorated with growing plants. After an organ voluntary and prayer offered by Dr. Calvert, the presiding officer, Dr.

Kelsay spoke of Dr. Eddy as he had known him since his ordination fifty years ago. He said Dr. Eddy had ceaselessly and faithfully presented the teachings of the gospel and witnessing the great success that had attended his ministry, as a result of which the world had been made brighter and happier and all who knew Dr. Eddy revered and es teemed mm, not only for his constant and faithful service, but also for big kindness of neart and bis broad, liberal and cultured mind.

Those wbo, like the speaker, had been associated with him in this and other cities for fifty years knew the good he had accomplished and Joined with his church in congratulating him and wishing him many more years or nappy ana prosperous life and work. Letters of congratulation were read by Dr. Warren ol the Ocean Hill Baptist church. Some of them were from the Rev. Drs.

Theodore Cuyler, R. H. Storrs, T. DeWl tt Tal mage and Lyman Abbott There were also letters from the First Baptist church of Lowell, from which Dr. Eddy received his first call fifty years ago; from the Howard Baptist church of Boston, Hyde Park Baptist church of Philadelphia and Fifth avenue Baptist church of New York, and resolutions from the Long Island Baptist association.

Dr. Warren was the next to speak. He said the occasion was one of Interest, particularly because so few ministers live to see and celebrate a golden jubilee. In Dr. Eddy's career said the speaker, a break from the straight line of duty could not 'be detected.

Dr. Warren reviewed the work of Dr. Eddy as he knew It, and his was the reward of a perfectly lived life. The Rev. Mr.

Seymour, who was until recently pastor of Hie First Baptist church of Lowell, told in an address that the work Dr. Eddy did in that church fifty years ago was still bearing fruit. Dr. Eddy, he said, went to a divided congregation, and the call extended to him was not a unanimous one, but Dr. Eddy soon succeeded in removing the cause for the differences and the church continued united until the present day.

It had been threatened with rupture, but the seeds of love and peace sowed by Dr. Eddy had sprung forth and had held the congregation together through many an hour of trial. The congregation of that church, said Dr. Warren, still looked forward with joy to the Visits Eddy occasionally makes to it. Dr.

Wells spoke for the local ministers. He read a letter of congratulation from the people of his church.

There were many echoes of yesterday's trolley trip to be obtained among the members of the Grand street board of trade when they re turned to their places of business last evening.

One was that President Rossiter, of the Brooklyn Heights Railroad company, had further Ingratiated himself into the friendship of the board by the day's jaunting and the members' companionship. "Gentlemen, what Is in your interest Is In ours," he 3ald in a speech in the course of the journey, and this, with a good deal more, was enthusiastically cheered. Superintendent Mccormick accompanied President Rossiter on the trip and tho remainder of the party consisted of the following members of the board: Elwin S. Piper, president; Thomas J. Patterson, C.

H. Tiebout, Thomas W. Klely, John J. Gorman, I. G.

Hac enbacker, M. S. Levison, W. Anderson. Anson Ferguson, iidward Mcuarvey, A.

Fehmel, I. S. Remsen, Philip Bender. Max Levison, R. C.

Knlpe, Robert T. Whalen and Edward J. Doyle. President Rossiter's object In inviting the members to the trip was to obtain their exact views as to the street car lines which they desired to enter Grand or adjacent streets and 1n order that the dignity and importance or tne street, wnicn, as a trace center it demands, might be maintained. The outing consisted of a trip to Ridgewood In the forenoon and one to Fresh Pond In the afternoon.

Between the two, the parlor car Amphlon, wnicn conveyed the nartv. was stalled at the foot of Broadway while the party luncnea in tne tiotei Anarews, Bedrord avenue, near South Fifth street. When the day was over. President Plner said to the Eagle representative: "On January 2 last. President Rossiter wrote me as president of the board that about the middle of January the Brooklyn Heights company expected to have their private parlor cars ready, and that about that time he desired to take the officers or our organization, together with tho committee or committees that waited on him with regard to railroad matters, over the routes under discussion.

On January 24, he wrote me again, saying that the cars were now on tho road and naming this morning at 9:30 Shocking Accident to an Epileptic in Flatlands. BADLY BURNED DURING A FIT. While Lighting His Pipe at a Blacksmith's Forge William Petry Fell on the Fire Van Brunt Bergen's Career in the City Works DepartmentMoney Raised for a New Reiormed Church, in Bay Ridge. A shocking accident happened yesterday afternoon to William Petry of Flatlands. While in the act of bending over a blacksmith's forge to get a light for his pipe he was attacked by an epileptic fit and fell with his faco on the red hot coals of the forge.

His right hand, which held a splinter of wood that was to serve aB a match, also dropped into the fire. In this position the unfortunate man remained for almost three minutes, the usual duration of the attack. No one saw his horrible predicament for he was alone in tho shop, which stands fifty yards back from the street. Upon regaining his senses he straightened up with a faco that had loet all human resemblance and a hand that was burned to a crisp. Though suffering agony he walked to his father's house unassisted and entered the kitchen by the rear door.

At that moment his mother stepped to the kitchen from the dining room just in time to catch the reeling man in her arms. A physician was hastily summoned and he did what he could for the patient, but gave very little hope to his parents. What seemed to him remarkable was that the unfortunate man was still alive. William Petry is 40 years old, but in Flat lands, where people live long, he is called young Petry. He Is the stepson of Joseph Fleming, a well to do farmer who lives on the Neck road.

Petry received a liberal education, being destined for the ministry, but after graduating from college he became a victim to epilepsy and has been a sufferer from that affliction ever since. The last twenty years his mother has been taking care of him and she hardly ever left him out of her sight. At the end of the yard, in the rear of the house, is a blacksmith shop where Mr. Fleming used to shce his own horses. Of late years it has seldom been used, but recently Petry seemed to have taken a fancy to the shop.

He spent hours there almost every day since the cold weather set in, and his delight was to start a rusing fire in the forge aud then squat down and look at it. while placidly smoking his pipe. His mother chided him for it and told him to be careful and not get burnt, but as the glow of the coals seemed to give him pleasure she let him have hi3 way. The fortitude displayed by the man is something remarkable. After the accident he walked into the house, after having his face and hands badly burned, without uttering a sound and not a single moan has escaped him since, though he is fully conscious.

Mrs Fleming said that her son, before the doctor put on the bandages, whispered in her ear Mother, God has punished me for not minding you." VAN BRUNT BERGEN'S CAREER. Van Brunt Bergen, who has sent in his resignation as chief engineer of the city works deportment, has served the ctty long and well. The thirty two years he has been identified with the department constitutes Ms entire active business life. He commenced at the lowest rung of the ladder and by dint of perseverance, combined with b1s abilities he reached to the top position as chief engineer, two years ago. Mr.

Bergen is a descendant of one of the first families that came ui it was In 1633 tlhat Hanson Bergen left Bergen, Norway, and settled at Fort Amderstam, N. and married Sarah Rappleyea, the first white woman born in the colony. Later on the Bergens came to Brooklyn and built a homestead at the corner of Third avenue and about Thirty third street which, up to the time 4t was torn down, but a short time ago, was the oldest house In Brooklyn. The late Tunis Hergen, father of Van Brunt Bergen, was born there, but in 1823 bought and settled on the Shore road, Bay Ridge. Tunis Bergen for a quarter of a century represented the town of New Utrecht 'in the beard of supervisors and was one of the best known men In the county.

He was also a civil engineer and did considerable work throughout the county towns and Brooklyn. Van Brunt Bergen was born at Bay Ridge. He chose 'the profession of his father and in 1863 graduated as a civil engineer with honors from the Polytechnic institute of Troy. A year later he accepted a position In the City works department, from which he now resigns after so many years of faithful service. His duties have included all classes of municipal tvork.

He has bad charge of the building of many of one main sewers, the laying of the large water mains. He surveyed for the storage reservoir, has superintended the erection of much of the city's machinery and also the laying of pavements. For two years he was In charge of the water purveyor's bureau. His next raise was that of first assistant chief engineer and two years ago he reached the goal as chief. Mr.

Bergen carefully kept all his father's papers, and for that reason was a valuable acqulsftlon to the department. He was often called upon to do some private surveying, particularly in the town of New Utrecht. Whenever there was some important work to do he was either sent for or consulted. There was every reliance placed in his work. In addition to his father's maps, figures and the like, he also has some Interesting and valuable facts relating to the history of the old town of New Utrecht.

The late elder Bergen took a great pride in this work and succeeded in collecting probably as complete a memoranda relating to the early hlstory of the township as could be got. Mr. Bergen inherits the same inquisitive mind for similar work, and has not let any chance sl'ip by to add to his collection. He has not given as much time to this work as he would like to have done, on account of duties. He now proposes to devote much time to it.

In this manner he will keep his mind active. and It is more than probable that he will have the history published. There is none published up to the present time, at least not in such detail. An important feature of his work will be the genealogy of all the principal families in conectlon with it. Mr.

Bergen will net let this work interfere with a European trip he proposes taking this next fall. He will be accompanied by his wife, and they will visit their sou, Harry Bergen, who Is at the university at Heidelberg studying English, French and German literature. Mr. Bergen is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Reform club of New York, the Hamilton and the Crescent Athletic clubs of Brooklyn, the Ridce club of Bay Ridge, the Holland society and the St. Nicnoias society.

Joseph Stoffano of 321 Montgomery street and Joseph Hennessy, his father in law, who lives on Clinton avenue, a week ago fought about tho possession of a little girl and Stef fano was arrested. This morning he was brought before Justice Steers in the Flatbu3h police court. The little girl belongs to Hennessy, but It appears that she preferred staying at her sister's house instead of her own home.

When her father went to bring her home she refused to go and was encouraged by Steffano and his wife, which resulted in a light. The little girl was in court on the arm of her sister, who still refused to give her tip. Justice Steers, however, told her that fahe must return the child to Its father. BEATEN BY HER HUSBAND. John Gilbert, colored, of Flatbush, was arraigned before Justice Steers in the Grant street police court this morning for making a murderous assault upon his wife.

of this society Is composed of the most prominent master bakers In the eastern district and it is one of the best known social organizations in Brooklyn. It has a membership of 103 and its president Is Anton Behlen. At the reception which preceded the ball last evening the guests were received and welcomed by President Behlen. Soon thereafter Hermann Scheldt, ex president of the society, made the address of the evening. He said that there were many societies in existence whose officers would undertake the greatest work of self sacrifice to make a society a success, and the officers of the Will iamsburgh Boss Bakers' association afforded a good instance.

They were devoted to the interests of the society. Twenty five years ago thirty nine boss bakers of the district conceived the idea of founding a social organization. Williamsburgh was almost a village at that time. Many of the founders had gone over to the silent majority, and but ten now remained. At the head of the list was Presi dent Behlen.

(Applause.) Before concluding Mr. Scheldt referred at some length to the work of the society. Its motto was "Harmony and union," and the members had always clung to that motto. The speech was conclud ed with a toast to the women present. A presentation of girts to tne founders of tne society followed.

President Behlen was given a gold watch. ex President Scheldt a gold medal, with silver wreath, Vice President Frank Selfert, a gold, medal with silver wreath; Valentine Popp, a member, a gold medal with silver wreath; ex President Mi chael Sommer, a gold headed cane; Henry Knoll, George Beyfuss and Nicholas Mertans gold headed canes.

A. CELEBRATION. Exercises to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Greenpoint Young Men's Christian association, took place last night in the Noble street Presbyterian church, which was almost filled with a large and representative audience of the people of the Seventeenth ward. President Marvin Briggs acted as chairman, and Mr. J.

M. W. Ammclman led the singing. The exercises were begun with an organ prelude by Mr. Bremmer.

Then, after there was a hymn sung, scripture reading by the Rev. W. MHer Magrath, and prayer, by tho Rev. R. D.

Sproule. Jj. pastor of the church. Secretary C. Lan'tz then read his annual report.

He began by thanking the public spirited men of the neighborhood for their support and the women's auxiliary for their help. Then the report went on: "The quaint old building, so called by one of our daily papers, has been much improved during the year. Additions of a substantial and much newer character have been made, at a cost of less than $300. The work was done during; the evening hours by merchants who were either members or friends of the association. All the materials were secured at very low prices.

Had we been obliged to have the work done by contract, the cost have been little less than $1,000. Along the line of finance Donations for 1S94 amounted to and In 1S95, to a gain of nearly $400. An increase in membership fees and profits from physical department brought the total Increase up to $650. a large gain, but still insufficient to meet the actual needs of an enlarging field. Mere than enough money was received to pay all current expenses, but not a sufficient amount to cover all expenses, im provements and interest on mortgage.

The condition of the building demanded immediate attention, and it would have been very unwise to have left the rooms In a bad condition, even though the money was not at hand for investment. The financial question Is a difficult one, aud we take this opportunity to state that we need $4,000 with which to carry on the work of the year 1S96. and we hope to secure $3,800 to pay off the mortgage. The sum of money paid during 1S95 made possible about 30,000 visits to a building open every day from 9 A. M.

until 11 p. supplied with excellent reading matter and other educational advantages, socials, games, gym nasiums, baths, gospel meetings and Bible classes. Every day during tho year the door3 of the building were open to welcome, hearti ly, any young man, regardless of creed, nationality or social condition. Committeemen have visited the sick and secured employment for a large nuracer. Tney nave welcomed strangers and have in many ways tried to make men happy and useful, having as their guide, the One who gives every good and per fect gitt.

A carerui expenditure of monev. so far as is consistent, with effective work, has been tho aim of the managers." The report was adopted and an address made by Colonel A. S. Bacon. Solos were sung by Mrs.

Mattie Dorlon Lowe. The proceedlnes closed with tho pronouncement of the benediction of the Rev. Benedict Barth. The an nual meeting of the association will be held this (Thursday) evening. WILLIAMSBURGH TRUSTEES.
