Brooklyn Furniture 553 to 571 Fulton Street. Brooklyn, N. Y. Green wood Baptist Church Deoides to Build Anew. Some weeks ago the Eagle made tho announcement that the officers of Greenwood Baptist church, of which the Rev.

Dr. Robert Bruce Hull is pastor, had under consideration the advisability of selling the present property, at Fourth avenue and Fifteenth street, and the purchase of a site somewhere on the park slope. The officers decided to present the matter to a meeting of the church, which was In no sense secret, and which was held the latter part of last week. There was considerable discussion over the matter, but the proposition to move elsewhere finally prevailed, the deacons and trustees being unanimous on that point. It was decided to appoint a committee.

to sell the property and select a new site. This committee is to be composed of the deacons and trustees and five members of the church, who have not yet been named. REVEESED THE JUDGMENT GIVEN BY JUSTICE HARRIMAN IN THE FREUND CASE. The Saloon Keeper Need Not Pay His Alleged Wife Alimony A Complicated Story. Judge Hurd, in the county court to day, reversed Police Justice Harriman's judgment.

made recently, compelling John George Freund, a saloon keeper at 27 Greenpoint avenue, to pay his alleged wife Matilda $4 a week, on her complaint that her husband had abandoned her, and to give a bond In $200. Freund says the plaintiff is not his wife. In 1873 the alleged Mrs. Freund; in her suit for separation for alleged cruel treatment, got an order from Justice Pratt in supreme court for $5 a week alimony on her asrreeine to leave Freund. and after a trial the defendant won.

In 1876 the plain tiff brought a similar action in New York city, and, on Justice Van Brunt's denial of a motion for alimony and counsel fee, on the alleged ground of the suit was not pressed. In 1883 Freund was arrested on the ground of alleged abandonment and was released. The plaintiff then brought proceea InKS in Brooklyn and secured Freund's ar rest, but he was discharged on a technicality. Again he was arrested and again discharged. Police Justice Quigley was then appealed to and he directed Freund to pay the plaintitt $7 a week, but he was reversed on the defendant's appeal to the county court.

Justice Harrlman, as stated, was then appealed to and his conviction of Freund was re versed to day. Judge Hurd, in reviewing the case, says that Matilda Freund, or Dreyer, the plaintiff in all the cases mentioned, claims that she was married to the defendant on January 1, 1868. Freund says the ceremony was pull and void, because In 1866 the plaintiff was married to Fritz Dreyer, who was alive in 1868 at the time of the ceremony. The plaintiff admits the previous ceremony and says Freund did not then know of It. She was Mrs.

Schackner when she was married to Dreyer and she was married to Freund under the name of Mrs. Schackner. She lived with Dreyer three days when he disappeared and she was told that he had been drowned from a ferry boat. She and her sister id entifled Dreyer's clothing at the morgue, but Judge Hurd says there Is positive evidence that Dreyer was seen alive after the alleged drowning. Freund testified that the plaintiff snowed Dreyer to him on the street and begged him to protect her from Dreyer.

The couple have not lived together since Justice Pratt made his order in 1876 and Freund has given no money to her. FOUND FOR THE DEFENDANT. Jury in the Plata Klein Case Out Only Ten Minutes. The trial of a suit brought by Ernst Plath, the owner of numerous pieces of real estate in Delancey street, New York, against one of the leasehold tenants, Jennie Klein, to recover about $2,000, claimed as rent due and interest, was begun before Justice Goodrich and a Jury in part I of the supreme court this morning. The defendant on April 3, 1893, executed a lease for the premises, 16 Delancey street, for a period of four years at an an ual rental of $2,400 a year.

She had previously lived in the house for several years and in 1892 the house was raided along with 10 and 12 Delancey street, as a disorderly house. On her trial at special sessions she was fined $50. The defense admitted the lease, but alleged that the lessor knew the Illegal character of the house. Mrs. Klein upon the witness stand testified that she paid Plath a bonus of $1,500 a year In consideration of being allowed to continue her avocation.

Other witnesses were introduced to show the general reputation of the house and vicinity. For the plaintiff it was alleged thac he was ignorant of the nature of the house and had made the lease in good faith. Plath did not go on the witness stand. The jury after being out ten minutes returned a verdict for the defendant. THANKSGIVING PARTY At the Home for Aged Colored People.

A verdict for $411.75 against Sheriff William J. Buttling was returned before Justice Osborne yesterday afternoon in part IV of the supreme court in tho suit of Alfred Mussinan against him. The plaintiff alleged that Sheriff Buttling allowed Loftus D. Hatton, a judg ment debtor, to escape from his Jurisdiction. Hatton had been arrested and committed to Raymond street Jail until he should satisfy the execution.

He was released a few days later and went to New York city. The sheriff denied that he allowed the man to escape and declared that the pharge against him was only technical. The Jury gave Judgment lor the full amount claimed. PRINCIPAL GUNNISON TO SPEAK Dr. W.

13. Gunnison, principal the Erasmus hall high school, will make tho address to tho graduating class of the Long Islftncl liusi nosB college on tho occasion of the twfnity third commencement and graduating cxcrcixuH of that institution at tho Brooklyn Acadomy of Music, Montague street, Friday evening.

new same by Sam Loyd, distributed free Announced as the Theme of Dr. Abbott's Thanksgiving Sermon. "The Message of America" is tho theme of the sermon to be delivered by the Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott in Plymouth church on Thanksgiving morning.

In view of the widespread comment which Dr. Abbott's last sermon on the theory of the American government evoked, additional interest will doubtless be taken in the manner of treatment of his Thanksgiving thomo. The sermon will prove one of national interest. During tho pastorate of Mr. Beecher the Thanksgiving services were always of an historic and patriotic nature.

The same Idea will be carried out on Thursday, for, in addition to Dr. Abbott's sermon there will be a chorus of 150 children's voices In addition to the regular church choir, to participate in the rendering of patriotic songs. BABY McKINLEY'S MOTHER. MRS. LANE FOUND THE LITTLE SWEDE THIS Held Her Until a Policeman Came The "Woman Denied That She Abandoned the Child.

TJie mother of George Washington McKin ley has been found. Her present address is the Raymond street jail and she is awaiting trial on a charge of having abandoned George in a furnished room at 171 Duffleld street on the 2d Inst. The story of young McKinley was told in the Eagle at the time. His mother, a fair haired little Swedish woman, who dressed well, hired a room in the house of Mrs. Lane on the morning of November 2 and went there with her 6 weeks old boy.

She put the child to sleep and went out. "When the baby awakened his yells aroused the house and when some of the lodgers found him he was lying in bed, snugly tucked between the sheets, but yelling for attention and nourishment. Mrs. Lane could not keep the baby and she sent for a policeman. Officer Henriques took the baby around to the Adams street sta tion.

Before the child was sent to the city nurse he was christened George Washington McKinley. Mrs. Lane has been looking for the baby's mother ever since. She was crossing Duifleld street at Tillary this forenoon when she ran against the little Swedish woman. "Oh, you heartless woman," she exclaimed, "I have been looking for you.

You cannot escape me now. "I haf ben loking for you," was the little woman's calm reply. "Where haf ou ben and what haf you don with my chUt? I want my baby. I have cried my eyes out because I could not find it." "You look as if you had been worrying, poor thing," said Mrs. Lane, sarcastically.

"You needn't worry any more. You'll get your baby all right. I'll hold you until I gee a policeman." 'Officer Adams came along and he took the Swede to the Adams street station in the patrol wagon. There the prisoner gave her name as Nellie Lawrence, but she changed this and declared that she was Blenora Olsen, aged 20 years and single. She said tfcfc: she was living with friends on Washington avenue, near Atlantic.

She denied that she had abartloned the baby. "I haf ben loking for it efer since," she pleaded. "I could not find the house, and I haf been crying for my poor baby efery night since." The police do not believe her and say that the abandonment was one of the most cool and well planned that has come to their notice in some tune. Miss Olsen was arraigned before Justice Walsh in the afternoon and was sent to jail pending an ex amination. NATIONAL DEMOCRATS TO STAY.

Shepard's Letter and Burton's Resolution Gives That Iisiication. An effort was made a week ago by certain members of the Brooklyn Democratic club to have a reorganization of the Democratic forces in the greater New York, and a new declaration of party principles at a convention to be held for that purpose. A majority of the club is recruited from the ranks of the national Democratic party and they defeated the scheme for a reorganization of the DeSftcrats of the greater city. That settled the question as to the future of the national Democratic party. The fact that tie latter will continue identity was emphasized last night when the general committee met in the a'theneum, Clinton street and Atlantic axf nue.

Edmund H. Driggs presided in the absMlce of Carle3 J. Paoterson, chairman, and Poster L.Tea body, the first vice president. The interesting feature the meeting was a. letter from Edward M.

Shepard to Secretary Ray. Mr. Shepard was unable to attend, but he wrote as fallows: Now York, November 23, 1SS6. Robert H. Roy.

Secretary of the General Committee: 3ar Mr. Hoy It is not practicable for me to be at the matins of the fe'eneral committee tonight without lCTioring other duties which are now seriously pisinp upon me. 1 "shall venture lo assume that none of the general committee are likely to doubt my earnestness and zeal in our cause or to misunderstand my absence. Bu't lest pome who are not members of the general committee may in danger of such misunderstanding I write to express my hope that the committee will express Itself clearly in of a persistence in the useful and indeed necessary, Iemoeratia work which it has done during the past two years and a half. The Democratic name has been dlticrred i in many ways by some which bear the name, but I do not permit myself to doubt that the IX mocratic party will ajra in stand upon its traditional ground, as the enemy of special privilege and the advocate of equal riirhts.

If the party shall be true to it3 own principles I have no doubt of its ultimate and abiding triumph. Faithfully yours, (Signed) EDWARD M. S1IBPABD. Mr. Driggs read Mr.

Shepard's letter and the committee listened with marked attention. Walter C. Burton introduced a resolution giving the executive committee power to name a date for the primaries after the re districting of the city by the beard of elections. The resolution also provided that in case the reJiscricting should bo deferred too long a time that the executive committee call the primaries far any day it sees fit. The resolution was adopted.

The course oi the national Democratic party for the future has not been defined. It will stand alone, however, until the nex campaign. BAIRD'S EUROPEAN TRIP. Colonel Andrew D.

Deer, Partridges, Quail and Rabbits, Fruit, Foreign and Domestic, Abundant and of Exceptional Quality. If the dyspeptic individual who looks forward to mealtime with feelings of glooan and anticipations of misery, wishes to cast aside his forebodings and cultivate a big appetite for his Thanksgiving dinner, a trip around Wallabout market will accomplish this for him just at the present stage of proceedings in that great caravansary of edibles. "Visions of his boyhood days when his eyes bulged In anticipation of pumpkin pies and plum pudding for a week before the parental board groaned with the plentiful supply edibles, will come back to him. Recollections of gigantic turkeys as they appeared steaming on the table flanked by oceans ot cranberry sauce and forests of celery with a symphony of vego tSSle in the near proximity, will recur to his mind. Tho old saying that the nearest way to a man's heart is through his stomach is on axiom of Thanksgiving time.

Nobody over felt thankful in this world when his backbone was beating a tattoo on his diaphragm. A well filled table is a logical preliminary tot a grateful disposition, and it is therefore reasonable that this particular season should be more than usually a time for eating. The greait square of Wallabout market this morning was lined with the wagons of nearby farmers, who had brought their choicest wares to the city for the Thanksgiving trade. Potatoes, cabbages, onions, all kinds of late greens and celery were their chief stock, and they sold rapidly, under the raid of the local grocers and marketmen. Celery was In evi dence everywhere, enough to stock the tables of the metropolitan district.

Perhaps, next to the traditional turkey and the cranberry, celery has the most prominent place on Thanksgiving day tables. Long Island celery this morning brought as high as $1 per dozen bunches and the choice product was a pleasure to look at. In addition, there was cauliflower, squash, pumpkins, hot bed tomatoes, lettuce, radishes, spinach, chicory, kale, oyster plant and all the rest of the seductive and appetizing greens at market prices, which had not the slightest relation to the price which the housewife is compelled to give her neighboring greengrocer. For Instance, spinach was 51 a barrel, Long Island radishes, 60 to 75 cents per 100 bunches; lettuce, 75 cents to $1.50 a barrel, and the carrots, turnips and all the rest in proportion. It was when the market man was compelled to leave the home farmers and bid for the Southern product for the choicer fruits that he was obliged to pay the larger prices.

The turkey as the piece de resistance of the Thanksgiving feast Is gradually being supple mented In many households to the duck. A brace of fat ducks are close to the turkey in the hearts of many Brooklyn gastronomists, and the display of the duck was lavish in the market to day and this fowl found ready sale. A good pair of ducks could be obtained for a dollar, enoughfor the consumption of a fair sized family. The turkey can be purchased at Wallabout market for all sorts of fancy prices in accordance with the trade for which the purchaser is catering. Spring turkey at 17 cents wholesale found ready takers.

The average price was around 14 cents and 15 cents, according to the appearance of the fowl. Those who did not care to take the word of the dealer as to the age or appearance of the turkey could buy "on thev hoof" as it were. Full grown turkeys stuck their heads out of the crates and looked with disdain at those who had designs upon their lives. They had nothing to say. The live ducks, geese and chickens were no so reserved, and squawked or cackled noisily to the passers by.

Splendid specimens of Long Island deer with cruel bullet wounds in their breasts or sides were thrown Indiscriminately on barrels or were laid on the floors, mixed up with bunches of partridge, wild ducks, quail and rabbits. The venison sold for from 18 to 20 cents a pound, choice cuts; the partridge were $1.25 to $1.40 a pair, woodcock averaged $1 a pair, quail, $2 to $2.25 a fbzen; canvas back ducks, S3 a pair; mallard, 80 to 90 cents; red head, $1.75 to $2.25, and teal, 30 to 40 cents per pair. iat raouiLa couio. De got ior 3u cents a pair, squirrels, 25 to 30 cents a pair. The number of Brooklynites who load their tables with game on Thanksgiving day, however, are limited.

The turkey or the ducks or both have to bear the burden of the onslaught. Fruits are, on the other hand, an almost universal concomitant of the feast, and the display of this department at the Wallabout was tine. Imported fruits include an almost endless variety and a diversity of price. Oranges, Jamaica, are from $3 to $4a box; Sorrenics, $2.50 half box; grape fruit. $5 per box; lemons about the same figured 'bananas, cents to st.zo a ouncn; ngs, dates, pineap ples, cocoanuts and the rest at price accord ing to me size and condition of the product.

Domestic fruits: Concords are 50 to 60 cents per case; western New York Concords, $1 per case; California Tokay, $2 single case: Cali fornia pears, various kinds, from $1.50 to $1.75 per case; Eastern pears, $4 to $4.50 per keg. The bestg rade of cranberries ruled: Cape Cod, $1.75 to 2.25 per case; $5 per barrel: choice, S6 per barrel. Ulster county cider was 10 cents'a gallon by the keg; new chestnuts, from $5 to $7 per "bushel; black walnuts, $2 per bushel; Southern and greenhouse vegetables were as follows: Florida tomatoes, $2.50 per crate; green peas, half barrel; green and wax beans, $2.50 per 1 3 'barrel basket; greenhouse radishes, $1 to $1.50 per 100 bunches. A regulation in the administratrcn of Wal about market, not generally understood, permits farmers to occupy the square of the market wirh their wagon3 for the sale of vegetables during the whole of days which next precede holidays. To morrow, therefore, both market gardeners and retail dealers may have the advantage of an all day for traffic.

BROUGHT ONLY $40,000. Site of the Hotel Regent Sold at a Sacrifice. A large crowd on the floor of the real estate exchange at noon to day gave promise for better prices than were obtained lor the property offered. The site of the Hotel Regent ivas Lhe center of Interest and attracted a number of we known business men. This property has a frontage ot 115 feet on Clinton avenue, running 200 feet to Waverly It adjoins the old Brooklyn tabernace property on Greene avenue, and experts placed the flgiires at which it would probably be sold as high as The biddings started at $3,000 per lot and at the final bid of $4,000 the ten lots were sold to Ernestus Gulick for $40,000 for the whole plot.

Several other parcels were sold at the exchange and in each instance better prices were brought relatively than was obtained for the Clinton avenue lots. BOTH WANT DIVORCES. Mrs.

Provision for Hotels and Clubs and Its Severe Penalties Make It Inopera tive Ridicules the Idea of Blackmail. Excise Commissioner Lyman Upholds tie New York Police Brooklyn Authorities' Opinion.

Police Commissioner Roosevelt of New said this morning, in regard to the statement made by Peuator Raines yesterday, 3 that thousands of saloons in New York were doing business in violation of the law and under the protection the police or some one else: "Mr. Raines is quoted in this morning's papers as saying that there are thousands of places in New York city which are violating the liquor law under police or some similar protection. Mr. Raines would have spoken more accurately if he had. said that the akxms were evading the law under his own protection, for the evasion can be made only because of defects iu the law, so obvious that at the time its passage many people regarded them as intentional.

The police axe In no way to blame and the slightest inves tlgation of the facts would have shown Mr. Raines this. Doubtless there are occasional places that run without a license. If there any number of these places, then the po and Mr. Raines' own excise law in would be equally blamed and the will promftly punish any police cap tain in whose precinct any considerable num 1, ber of such violators may be shown to be doing business.

"The main and practically the entire trou 5, ble arises from the Raines hotels and Raines cmos, wmcn are aDle to do business, so because of the defective provision in the law, or because of the way in which the jurists treat those violations in the light of that law. "Many of the police captains are in despair because of the way in which, under this law, their precincts have slipped back into a cou dl'sjon which the law renders them powerless to remedy. "There are some excellent features in tho Raines law. The best is that which provides i that the saloons shall be thrown wide open to view during the close hours. The high license Is another good feature, but no care whatever wws taken to denue and limit the word and tie courts and juries have held repeatedly that under the present law a meal may mean anything from a hard boiled egg to a sandwich.

Moreover the size of the penalty prescribed renders it difficult to get. a convic for while a penalty If too light does not en offense, if too severe it often defeats Its own ends, because of the reluctance of Juries to convict if they regard the penalty excessive. "As for the alleged blackmail I do not for a moment believe it, and I think the charge to which Senator Raines has given publicity, he has based on mere idle rumor, and if I did not believe it to be so based, I should denounce it as being put forth to cover the failures caused by the way in which Senator Raines drew his bill. The liquor sellers do have to pay blackmail now for Senator Ralnes.through his bill, hasgiven them the very 'privileges for which they used to pay before this board came into power and put a stop to blackmail. We have carefully instructed the captains only to arrest where there was the clearest evidence of what were deemed violations of the law, but though we have made three hundred and odd arrests In cases of both Raines law hotels and Raines law clubs.

In every Instance we have been thrown out either by the court or the jury and the ordinary liquor seller who pays heed to the requirements of the Raines law, would never pay the police blackmail, even if they wishs.3 to take it, because he does not have" to, and he knows he does not have to." Assistant District Attorney Unger, who has charge of the excise bureau of the district attorney's office, this morning gave out the following statistics of Raines liquor law cases handled by his office between April 1 and November 14: "Complaints received, indicted by grand Jury, 485; dismissed by grand jury, 041; complaints not yet acted upon, 314. There have been indictments tried and the defendants found not guilty; 17 persons have convicted and 39 have pleaded guilty. Thirteen prisoners have been discharged by the court. There are still pending 207 indictments." Commissioner Lyman Issues an Official Statement. Albany.

K. November 24 There was a good deal of amusement here this morning over the publication of an alleged statement of Senator Raines that there were between 4,000 and 5,000 unlicensed liquor saloons do "Ing business in New York. Referring to it Commissioner of Excise Lyman said this morning: "The statement of Senator Raines is rather broad and so far as It reflects upon the police department of New York, I believe unwarranted. In the short time the law has been operation, the New York department has been most active in assistinz us in inwrnppr. wig me law.

i oelieve that the New York de partment is the best in any city in Xew York state and in no single case have 1 had a complaint against the police for condoning fms over any alleged violation." Commissioner Lyman issued an official statement this afternoon in regwd to thp statement which purports to have been made by Senator Raines to the effect that there are about 4,000 or 5,000 placos within a ten mile radius of the New York city hall selling 11 quor without a tax certificate. He savs that the statement, if made, is approximately as he finds that some twenty six hundred so called membership incorporations or social clubs have been es'ablished Mav mostly within the area mentioned bv the senator, a large part of which, he says, 'if he Is correctly informed, are simply places which dispense liquor in evasion of the law, while assuming and perhaps believing that thev are protected by the court's decision in the Adel phi case. 'He adds, however, that he thinks that the police commissioners of the localities men tloned and their subordinates have made a remarkably good showing, considering the obstacles placed In their way, the most serious of which in his opinion is a lack of legal precedents and established court rulings to guide them in, their duty. What Brooklyn Officials Think of Mr. Raines' Talk.

The statement of Senator Raines to the ef lect that within a radius of ten miles of the New York city hall there were between four thousand and Ave thousand places where Jiqnor was sold without a state license and that they were presumably under roliee or some other protection, did not seem to worrv the police authorities of this city in the least. Commissioner Welles said this afternoon that did not think that the senator had this city in view when he spoke. Places of a character that may sell liquor without a license do not exist in Brooklyn. There are only saloons here and hotels. Th must expose their state tax license in plain view in their "Windows.

"I do not think that there are any places In this city where liquor is sold without a license," he said. "The police here are very careful in their investigations and when a case Is found a report is made directly to the dis trict attorney and a prosecution follows. But I do not think that the criticism of Senator Raines applies to this city. The places that ho refers to, where liquor is sold without a license, are houses kept by persons who are not well, you may say, respectable. There are not very many places of that character in Brooklyn.

We drive these people out, and they do not thrive here anyway. I do not ljo lleve that Mr. Raines for a moment would in tlmato that any of these places were under the protection of the police of this citv." Superintendent McKelvey had this to sny: "I do Hot think that Brooklyn was intended. I know that we ar making arrests daily for violation of tho excise law and as far" as 1 know there is not a place in this city where 'liquor is sold without a license. I am very sure that the charge of protection docs not apply to this city." Dr.

November 24 It Is reported at the navy department to day that Civil Engineer Menocal ot the Brooklyn navy yard Is not satisfied with tho way Secretary Herbert decided" the court of Inquiry proceedings over the accident to the dock, and that he will demand further Investigation ot the case. It Is said that Menocal will ask for court martial proceedings, and that lie believes that the sentence of a tribunal of this character would be preferable to Che stinging censure given to him by Secretary Herbert. The announcement of the decision of the secretary In this case occasioned some comment In this city on account of its severity. It directly accused Menocal of carelessness, Inefficiency and lack of knowledge of his profession, and the unsparing manner in which these rebukes, were administered has seldom been equaled in the history of the navy. The secretary's letter of censure closed by saying "the department reprobates your (Menocal's) conduct." This Is an oppression that 1 new in cases of this sort.

The term usually employed is "censure," or "admonition," hut It is probable that the secretary thought neither of these was sufficiently severe. The definition of reprobate is given as "To be disapproved with detestation or marks of extreme dislike." A sentence Is given In which the word is used, "Reprobate Bllver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them."
