FIRE AT SAYVILLE. Sayyillo, L. March 26 Ono of the worst fires that has ovor visited Savvillo and which threatened to destroy the entire business portion of tho village on the south sido of Main street, occurred last night." Tho fire started in the clothing and furnishing establishment of Ellsworth Crum at 8:45, when Raymond Cambern, one of tho clerks started to close up for the night. While putting out one of the lampn in the show window it fell through the bracket and exploded. H.

T. Rogers, who was closing his store on the opposite side of the street saw the flames and rushed across ba street and into the store. He pnlled all the burning goods from tho window and threw them into tho street but, the burning oil quickly oarried the flames behind the counter and the whole west side of the store was soon in a blaze. Rogers was joined by several other men. but so rapidly was tho spread of tho tlamos that they wero soon driven from the building.

In the mean time an alarm of fire had been sounded which brought out Hook and Ladder company No. 1, Hose company No. 1, Resolute hose company, alBO the lioso and hook and ladder companies from West Sayvillo. By tho time the firemen reached the scene tho entire building was in flames and the fire was spreading to the bakerv of Julius HnuHOr. It then seemed as though tho whole block was doomed and word was telephoned to Bayport and Patchogue for help.

Five lines of hose were soon playing on tho burning building, which were regular tinder boxes. All the fire companies from Patchogue responded to the call for aid, but word was sent them to hold back, as the local firemen Beemed able to cope with the flames. As soon as the alarm reached Patchogue, Edwin Bailey, chief of tho Patchogue fire department, started at once for Sayville and in less than half nn hour, having driven five miles, was on hand ready to help the Sayvillo firemen. It was fortunate for tho fire fighters that a light wind wan blowing, and after an hour's hard work the flames wero under control. Tho harness store of William Le Clnse and John De Traaf's barber shop, which adjoined the burning buildings caught lire, but was saved by the firemen.

The' buildings oceupied by Crum Hauser are a total loss. Mr. Crum will be a heavy loser, having just received his spring stock of goods. It is reported that all of his books and accounts were burned. At the time the fire started he was attending a meeting of the odd fellows.

When he reached tho fire it was too late to'do anything to save his property. The total loss will amoun to about 10.000.' The central offico of the local telephone company was in Crum's store, and was of course completely destroyed. EPWORTH LEAGUE SOCIAL. Biverhead, L.

Nothing to equal the excitement caused by tho two conventions had over boon known hero and tho Republicans were particularly worked up.

In their convention the contests wero for the nominations for assessors and town clerk. Three candidates were in the field for each office. Eleven ballots wore taken for supervisor. George W. Smith of Bockville Center was finally nominated, beating M.

At 3:30, before going into the nomination of candidates, Town Clerk Brill stat ed that the convention was placed in a peculiar position, as no one could be found in the party to accept the nomination for supervisor.

The suggestions that had been offered to leave the position blank was not satisfactory to those who expected to accept the various other offices. Ho was in favor of indorsing George W. Smith, the Republican nominee. Tho delegates became so excited at this juncture that a motion to take a reoess for ten minutes was oarried. On re assembling a vote was taken upon indorsing Mr.

Smith and was carried 26 in favor and 15 against. Several of the old time Democrats who were opposed to this action sarcastically moved that tho entire Republican tickot be indorsed.

Grant Miller of Bay Ridge Eluded the Vigilance of His Brother and Invaded the Engineers' Quarters at Fort Hamilton, Where He Attacked Mr. Conlan, One of the Government Employes, With an Iron Bar.

Ex Judge William H. Conlan, who has a government position at Fort Hamilton, had a very lively hour yesterday afternoon when a madman wandered into his house for the purpose of finding some treasures he supposed were hidden in the cellar. Conlan did not realize who bis visitor was until he was set upon and an exciting struggle for life began. With blood streaming from two deep gasbes in his head Conlan succeeded in breaking loose and escaping to an adjoining room. Grant Miller Is tho name of the madman.

He come from Nowburgh and has been in the vicinity for two weeks. He boards with his brother, Luke Williams, at Seventh avenue and Seventy third street, Bay Ridge, and he is subject to fits of violent insanity. He has apparently been rational since he has been here, so much so that the attending physician J. W. Malone of Bensonhurst, said that he could bo taken out for short walks to get the benefit of the fresh air.

Grant was allowed to go out yesterday afternoon, but he was under the care of his brother." Luke was busy about the yard when ho suddenly missed his brother. He dropped his work to hunt him up, fearing ho would do some harm. Grant saw his chance to get away and ran toward Fort Hamilton. He proceeded down Seventh avenue and walked across the government Held until he came to the old Cortelyou homestead, a place of historical interest nov owned by the government. Judge Conlan was washing his hands at tbe sink when bis wife said some one was coming In tbe back door.

Conlan, thinking It was one of his family, did not even turn to see who it was. Mrs. Conlan no less alarmed went to another part of the house to set about her duties. Conlan suddenly looked up when he heard some one trying to open the door leading to a store room. "Hello," be said, "where do you want to go?" "I want to got into tbe cellar.

Captain Kidd's goid is down there and I came after it," was the startling response. The judge laughed, thinking it was a joke, and said that was not the cellar door, at tho same time walking around a table to get nearer to the stranger. Hardly had he approached within arm's length when Miller's list shot out and caught Conlan on the nose. It quickly dawned upon Conlan then whom he had vo deal with and he picked up a heavy bottle that was on the table and let fly at the madman's head. Miller dodged it and grabbed an iron rod.

nearly four feet long, which stood In one corner. Conlan realized that It was a matter of life or death and closed in on the stranger. He was not quick enough to avoid a savage swing of the rod that caught him on the left shoulder. Conlau weighs about pounds and Is of a well knit frame. Miller is about 23.

Is taller and Is equally as heavy as the judge. Back and forth the men swayed In the room, the madman trying his utmost to use the rod. Fortunately for Conlan It was too long to use effectively In such close quarters. Miller, however, managed to strike some short blows with it and soon had hlood pouring from some ugly wounds In Conlan's head. Conlan felt that his age was telling on him and he was getting weaker.

He dared not loosen his grip around the man's body for one swinging blow of the rod would have brained him. The blood trickled down into his eyes and blinded him. Mrs. Conlan, who was attracted by the scuffle, was horrified to find the men in deadly combat. All over tbe floor and walls, as the men swayed about Conlan left his blood inarks.

Conlan finally saw an opportunity and struck for the madman's face. It was a chance blow, for Conlan was almost totally blind with the blood. The blow seemed to stagger the mad treasure hunter and Conlan struck again. The men broke and Conlan's wife shouted for him to run. Conlan rubbed some of the blood from his eyes and caught a glimpse of his wife standing near an open door.

He ran for it and they quickly locked themselves in another room. Miller did not leave the house at once. He walked into the old hall and visited other rooms before the opened the front door and took possession of the front stoop. He strode up and down the porch as though doing sentinel duty, and the fall of every footstep drove teeror Into the hearts of the couple within. Miller did not return to the house, but with the blood stained iron rod in his hand went out on the shore road.

There were some children playing on the shore not far away and Conlan feared for their safety. It was at this juncture that Luke Miller came running up. He saw the condition of the house and saw also the blood stains and thought a murder had been committed. As long as the maniac carried the Iron rod even his brother dare not approach him. Miller stopped three or four times wltnin a few hundred feet of the house, jammed the rod into the earth aDd then walked around It a number of times.

He finally left it sticking in one spot and walked off. The brother, armed with a club, had more courage then, and finally persuaded the lunatic to go home. In the meantime Conlan was hurried to the government hospital and an ambulance was also sent for. Ambulance Surgeon Mattheson of the Norwegian hospital dressed the wounds. He said they were not serious.

Powell's "Mary, Queen of Scots," Receives an Ovation Dr.

Charles Cuthbert Hall's Address at the Young Feople's Hour of the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society Election of Officers. Twenty eastern district society young women pesed as living portraits in the chapel of the First Reformed church, Bedford ave nue and Clymer street, last evening. The en tertalnment, which included several vocal and musical selections, and was called "An Even I Ing with old and modern masters," passed off I smoothly. Many of the young women who took part in the exhibition had never before appeared under the glare of the calcium light and at first they were a bit dazed, but they soon became accustomed to their surroundings, and then the living portraits were, in many respects, like the living pictures which were so popular In the theaters a year or two ago. Among those who posed was Mrs.

Henry A. Powell, a member of the board of eduea 1 tion and a well known eastern district woman. She appeared as "Mary, Queen of Scotts," and the picture plear.ed the audience so well that the curtain had to be drawn three times. Mrs. Powell didn't seem to mind the calcium light I and her pose was one of the most perfect of the evening.

The chapel of the First Reformed church was not half large enough to accom modate the throng and many of those who came late and forced their way into the build ing remained standing during the entire even I ing. Although all the pictures were arranged by Joseph H. Boston, the entertainment was I under the direct supervision of Mr. and Mrs. R.

Boston at the conclusion of the entertainment. He made his acknowledgements gracefully. Tbe proceeds of entertainment go to the First Reformed church. Every one was so well pleased with the living portraits that there is some talk of repeating the entertainment. WOMAN MISSIONARIES.

The twenty fourth annual meeting of the Woman's Heme and Foreign Missionary society was held yesterday in the Ross street Presbyterian church. During tbe forenoon the audience was made up of 600 women, interested in missionary work in all the Presbyterian churches of the city. At the afternoon session the audience was augmented by about two hundred more visitors, many prominent clergy, including the Rev. J. D.

Wells of the South Third street Presbyterian church, the Rev. Dr. Charles Cuthbert Hall. The Rev. John Erskine Adams, paster, was present and used much effort in making everybody feel at home in his church.

The feature was the address by the Rev. Dr. Hall, on the "Young People's Hour." He said in part: "This is an hour to which I have looked forward with sincere desire. The name which you have given to it was an attraction to me. as well as the purpose for which the hour consecrated.

A young people's hour is one that carries in itself its own opportunities, and no one interested in young life could feel it other than a great joy and a great privilege to be permitted to speak an hour in which one finds oneself met in advance by sympathetic eyes and prepared by the associations and services that have already taken place this day. The numerical strength of the great assembly also gives me strength to speak, and when accompanied with It comes the story of the year's work, there is, indeed, good cause for gratitude and for encouragement." Dr. Hall here made a few remarks as to the inadequacy of the workers, numerous as they were, to cope with the great work in hand. He proceeded: "It Is not true. I venture to say, that the women of our churches are s.

busy with the individual toils of life that they cannot give time to these things. Those of you who are giving your time to this work find it also possible to meet your ordinary engagements in life, and very possibly there are ten times as many more women who could also find it possible. There are unused resources in the womanhood of our churches of enormous magnitude and we all must realize how difficult It is to engage their attention unless the object in view Is brought under their notice in some specific way. The response, If you will permit me to say, to this work among the women of our congregations rests largely, I do not say wholly, upon those who are already interested. My prayer is that when another birthday comes there may be a doubling in the strength of your association, numerically.

I believe the time Is ripe for such a numerical advance." "Hints on Synodical Work" were given by Mrs. William J. Milne. Mrs. Henry M.

Humphrey spoke in a very interesting manner, illustrating her Remarks on a map, her subject being "Observations in Brazil." Mr. Henry' mingled a commercial, geographical and missionary knowledge of Brazil in a way that commanded the closest attention of the aud ionce. The officers elected were: Pre.sklom. Mrs. L.

Kelgaard. Tho addresses will be followed by music. for Joseph Rhodes at 7. 9 and 11 Cham bers street, New York, and living at 561 1 Graham street, this city, was arraigned before Justice Steers in the Flatbush police court yesterday afternoon on a charge of grand larceny, preferred by G. W.

Schoeneck of 10 Avenue Flatbush. The arrest was made in the office of Forbes' employers shortly after noon by Officer Gerken of the Flatbush court. The young man almost fainted when the warrant was read to him, but he put on his coat and went along with the officer quietly enough. Young Forbes belongs to a highly respected and socially prominent family, his father being Charles Forbes. It appears that about a year ago he was connected with a bicycle concern, which Is since said to have failed.

Mr. Schoeneck, who Is a member of the Knieker bocker Field club.Flatbush.and was on friendly terms with the young man, gave him $80 for a wheel. The bicycle, however, was never delivered to Mr. Schoeneck, and, It Is alleged, the young man failed to return the money. About three months ago, after having repeatedly asked for the return of his $80, Mr.

Schoeneck went to Jutlce Steers and swore out a warrant for the arrest of young Forbes, cnarglng him with grand larceny. However, tho warrant was not served. When Forbes heard that he was threatened with arrest ha hurriedly called on Mr. Schoeneck and promised to pay the money In monthly installments. He paid about $30 and then he stopped.

Mr. Schoeneck waited for some time and, not hearing from the young man, he called on Justice Steers yesterday and had the old warrarnt re Issued. The prisoner was in a state of nervous prostration when he was brought before the magistrate. He asked to be permitted to send for counsel before pleading and telephoned for Lawyer Allen, who, half an hour later, appeared in the court room. Then the prisoner pleaded not guilty.

Messages were sent out for bondsmeu. Judge Steers waited three hours, but nobody arrived to save the young man from the lockujp. Tho prisoner pleaded with tears In his eyes for leniency, saying that It was his honest Intention to pay Mr. Schoeneck, and that the latter would get bis money before tbe day was over. Finally Judge Steers, who was not satisfied anyhow that the charge of grand larceny would stand, since Forbes had showed his willingness to return the money by paying back a portion of it, took pity on the young man's distress and, after adjourning the hearing for a week, paroled the prisoner in the care of Lawyer Allen, who said that he would be responsible for his appearance In court.

It is probable that if Mr. Schoeneck gets his money back between now and next Wednesday he will withdraw his charge against young Forbes. MASS MEETING OF CONEY ISLAND HOTEL KEEPERS. A need for extra effort has impressed itself upon the liquor dealers of Coney Island and they have decided to hold a mass meeting at Stubenbord's pavilion, next Wednesday, and make positive protest against the operation of the Raines bill as it will apply to them. The association of liquor dealers who will take this action is known as the Sea Side Liquor Dealers' association, and Includes all the saloon and hotel keepers along the bay and ocean front In the old towns of New Utrecht and Gravesend.

The call was the result of a meeting of the executive commttee of the association held yesterday afternoon at the Capitol hotel, at Gravesend beach. Wednesday's meeting will be for the public and a general invitation will be extended toall business men Interested in the future existence of Coney Island as a summer resort. It is claimed that a strict enforcement of the Raines bill means the ruin of all the property owners on Coney Island and along the water front, where they are dependent on Sunday excursion trade. At yesterday's meeting It was proposed that each of the liquor dealers establish a hotel with a register and that every room be rented to parties who will be permitted to invite friends to their rooms and furnish them with refreshment. It was claimed that this would permit an evasion of the law.

It would certainly Increase the expense for barkeepers, thoueh the waiters could be the alleged guests and key holders. It is certain that every effort will be made to have the meeting of Wednesday effective. A FLATBUSH OUTDOOR CLUB.
