Fishking was doing the work, while Morris, who is very small for his age, was acting as a lookout, McCIuskcy and Shea brought their prisoners to the statios house but tho victims of tho theft failed to appear, so a technical charge of vagrancy was made against tho boys and they were held. In court this morning the case was handed over to Agent Saner of the Children's Society for investigation.

CERTIFICATES NOT TAXED. Attorney General Decides That Children May Obtain Employment Without Swelling the "War Fund. President Murphy of the Board of Health received this morning a reply to his letter sent to the Attorney General at Washington on the loth in relation to certificates issued for the employment of children under the New York statute and upon which it was supposed a tax of ten cents was to be levied in compliance with the internal revenue war tax, recently passed by Congress.

BOYD, "Assistant Attorney General." HURT BY BICYCLISTS. Why Miss Ten Eyck Sues the City for Damages. Justice Dickey in Supreme Court this morning appointed Frank Ten Eyck as gurrdinn ad litem of his daughter, Miss Edna Ten Eyck. for the purpose mi commencing an action against the City of New York to recOTer damages for personal injuries.

She was, she says, not ablo to get out of their way and was knocked down and run over. Tho place was evidently the strip of asphalt where cyclists go to Flatbush avenue from the Eastern parkway. The young woman was badly hurt and has been confined to her bed. The interest in the case arises from the fact' that not the cyclists are sued for damages but tho city. "The complainant alleges that the city authorities arc negligent nnd the sidewalk there is kept in a careless manner.

Watchman Gelderman's Aim Was Better Than He Thought. INJURED MAN IN HOSPITAL. Grimm "Was Caught in the Act of Carrying Off a Brass Urn and Tried to Run Away "When Hailed by the "Watchman Recent Thefts at Cypress Hills Resulted in the Placing of a Guard. A man giving the name of Nicholas Grimm and stating that he resided at Johnson avenue and Humboldt street, was shot last night in Cypress Hills Cemetery by the watchman, while, it is claimed, he was In the act of carrying away a brass urn from the railing that surrounpds the Metropolitan police burial plot. The man was shot in the back and the bullet has lodged near the liver.

He was taken to St. Mary's Hospital, where the wound was probed last night. The surgeon was unable to extract the bullet. Grimm, although in a precarious condition, is reported this morning as much improved. The watchman who did the shooting was Christopher F.

Gelderman, a special officer, whorestdeson Jardine place, which adjoins the cemetery. The shooting took place about 11:30 o'clock. elderman was arrested by Patrolman Htnes of the liberty avenue station and was arraigned in the Gates avenue court this morning. He pleaded not guilty to the charge of assault In the second degree. Magistrate Bristow placed the ball at $1,000.

Richard Butt, the superintendent of the cemetery, was present in court, but he was unable to furnish a satisfactory bond and Gelderman was taken to jail. The examination was adjourned to August 1, when It is expected that the injured man will be able to leave the hospital. He will be compelled to answer the charge of larceny. For some time past complaints have been received by the cemetery authorities that brass, bronze and other metal ornaments and gates were disappearing from plots and graves in the cemetery. About three weeks ago five urns or vases belonging to the Metropolitan Police plot were stolen.

The plot is circular in shape, with a railing inclosing it. In the latter are four gates and on the posts on either sides of these were urns, eight in all. When this theft was reported to the authorities, it was decided to place a watch during the night at which time the property was generally stolen. Two weeks ago Gelderman and an assistant named Casper Krechner of 192 Hamburg avenue began their night patrols. It seems that the thieves must hae suspected that a watch was being conducted, for during the two weeks no depredations were committed.

Last night, however, Gelderman saw the shadow of a man stealing toward the plot. He waited until the man had taken one of the remaining three urns, and as the intruder was about to depart, he raised an alarm. The man instantly dropped the urn and started on a run. Gelderman called to htm to stop, but the man kept right on. Just then uhe watchnmn slipped and fell, and as ne got up he says he could juet see the man very indistinctly in the distance, with fair chances of escape.

Gelderman pulled out his revolver and fired. He says that he thougnt he was firing low, as he only desired to injure the man som ewfcere in the limbs to disable tm. He saw him drop and just as assistant had been attracted by the noise went to his aid. Grimm was found lying on the ground. He was picked up by the two men and assisted to the main entrance, where the police were notified and an ambulance was summoned.

Ambulance Surgeon Fitzgerald responded from St. Mary's Hospital and removed the injured man to the hospital. Officer Hine3 placed Grimm under arrest. When Grimm was caught by the watchmen he stated that he had been looking for robins' nests. The urn which had been removed was found on the ground where Grimm dropped it.

The police say that Grimm has a record and is wanted on a charge of burglary, which occurred In April last. There was one man arrested at the time and it is said that Grimm managed to escape and keep away from thee police. He is now held as a prisoner at the hospital. MATLOCK A SECOND.

Lipp Drew a Razor Across His Throat and Tlioley Gashed His Wrists.

Two men were arraigned before Magistrate Steers in the Ewen Street Police Court this morning charged with attempting to take their own lives. They were John Lipp, 26 years old, of 147 Maujer Btreet, and Charle Tholey, 47 years old, of 27 Olive street. Lipp, who is a tinsmith by occupation, has a wife and ten ehildren. The oldest of the latter is 16. One of them, named Walter, was run over by a trolley car at Graham avenue and Maujer street some days ago, had a log fractured and is now in St.

Catharine's Hospital. Lipp worried a good deal over the injury to his boy. however, and for several days paBt I has Buffered from attacks of despondency. Lipp last night. He did not sleep, but tossed restlessly on the bed.

A few minuteB after midnight he got up, secured a razor from a bureau drawer and proceeded to cut his throat. He drew the razor across his neck twice, once each way, inflicting cuts four and seven inches long. His wife saw him and screamed at the top of her voice. Her cries aroused a number of the children. A policeman was soon on the scene.

Before his arrival, however, Lipp had jabbed himself twice in tho arms. Ambulance Surgem Slevin from St. Catherine's hospital stitched the wounds, and Lipp was taken to the Stagg street station and locked up. At the station house the prisoner's wife became hysterical. In court to day he was held iu 500 bail for examination Tuesday.

Tholey has been an itinerant singer in the Eastern District for a number of years. In his early days ho was a carriage builder in Germany. Some years ago he sustained injuries which deprived him of the use of his right arm and ho lost his left eye. Subsequently his remaining arm bocomo paralyzed. Then he took to street singing.

It was German songs he Bang. of course, and his favorite places for pursuing ma avocation was in the back yards of big tenement houses. People occasionally threw him coppers from the windows and thus he managed to eke out a living for some years. Latterly his voice became far from melodious. Ho has been attacked on the street several times by young boys who throw potatoes and decayed vegetable's at him.

He was unable to retaliate upon them in any way and this vexed Tholay. The police are. however, unable to accountfor his alleged attempt at suicide. It was said to have taken place in his house, at tho address given late yesterday afternoon. One of the principal witnesses in court against him to day was a step daughter, named Mrs.

Katie Dixou. She said that Tholnv told hnr bu.u...i.(, uu (.4111 fJlll lUtlDCJ 11VW cents worm or ncia lor mm, but she declined. Then she says that he attempted to gash his wrists on a broken flower vaso. Tholey denied the attempt. He said he cut his wrists in trying to lift the vase.

He was held until Tuesday. THE "WEATHER. INDICATIONS TILLS P. M. TO MOBBOW.

FEKIST SERVICES TO MORROW. The Presbyterian Union for Church Extension Preparing to Conduct an Aggressive Campaign A New English Lutheran Church Will Be Organized in Immanuel Congregational Church on the 24th Inst The 'Presbyterian Mfeslon for Church Extension in'ten ds aggressively to push its work In Brooklyn, the president, the Rev. Joseph Dunn Burreil, believing there is room for several more churches of tha1! denomination in Brooklyn. Public worship will be instituted to morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock at Dyker Heights, in the new club house at Eighty isixth street and Thirteenth avenue. The attention of the union was called to tihis field some time ago by the Rev.

Mr. Ferris, the young pastor ot the Bay Ridge Presbyterian Church, and Henry Mackay. The committee, of which the Rev. Daniel H. Overtaa of the Greene Avenue Presbyterian Church is ohalrman, has paid several visits to the field and, after careful canvassing, ft.

has been decided bo start a service there, Walter Johnson having, on behalf of the club, kindly offered the use the beautiful house for services on Sunday afternoon. This is believed to be the beginning of a new and prosperous Presbyterian Church, and It Is thought it will not be a great while before ground is purchased and the building of a new edifice begun. It is regarded as a most promising field. There are about forty families in the settlement and no worship has yet been instituted. The Rev.

Dr. Lewis R. Foote, pastor of the Throop Avenue Church, and Darwin R. James, a leading officer of the same church, are the representatives of the executive committee of the Presbyterian Union for Church Extension in thJs matter, while Mr. Mackay and the Rev.

Mr. Overton are representatives of the committee on new work, the latter being, as stated, chairman. The Rev. Mr. Ferris has aided the enterprise from the beginning.

It was hoped to have as the preacher for the first service to morrow the Rev. Dr. David James Burreil, pastor of the Marble Collegiate Church, Manhattan, who will conduct services twice to morrow in the First Reformed Church, Seventh avenue and Carroll street, where that congregation and the Grace M. E. Memorial Presbyterian and Sixth Avenue Baptist churches are holding union services.

A letter has been received from Dr. Burreil, however, saying that he will not be able to preach to morrow, and his place will he taken by the Rev. Mr. Overton. It is the purpose of the committee to endeavor to secure for the services at Dyker Heights the well known men who are supplying the pulpits of Brooklyn for the summer, each to take one day down there.

In pursuance of the aggressive mission work begun by the XiUthelsans of Brooklyn, an English Lutheran Church will be organized on Sunday evening, July 24, in the Im manuel Congregational Church, corner of Rochester avenue and Herkimer street. The large Lutheran population in that section of Brooklyn has led to this new enterprise, and tfcere is every reason to believe that there will be rapid development and that a strong church will be speedily built up. The Home Mission and CShurch Exxtenslon Boards of the Lutheran Churoh are back of the movement, as well as quite a number of prominent men of Brooklyn. Among these men is former Mayor Charles A. Schieren, who some time ago gave nls pledge to donate a certain sum of money, and It was a liberal offer, to each Lutheran interest Aat was started in Brooklyn.

The Rev. H. E. Clare, who resides at 413 Second street, has taken a deep Interest in rhls enterprise and it is understood that he Is to have pastoral charge. The number of persons who have evinced a desire to join the new church is quite large.

It is believed I also that when the society is organized steps I will be taken looking towards the purchase I of the building at Rochester avenue and Her ki mer street, which is the property of the Imimanuel Congregational Church, formed by i the union of Rochester avenue and Patchen I Avenue Congregational. Churches, the new i building for which is now in process of erec 1 tion on Decatur street, between Patchen and Ralph avenues, and which it is hoped to have ready for dedication early in September. ANTI SHAVING LAW UPHELD. United States Supreme Court Affirms the Conviction of Havnor, a Manhattan Barber. The Supreme Court of the United States has just rendered a decision in favor of the Btato in the case of Henry J.

Havnor, plaintiff in error agsinst the People of the State of New York, which was argued by District Attorney ABa Bird Gardner on behalf of the People. The judgment under which Havnor was convicted in 1895 is affirmed. This action has been known as the barber case. The Legislature of New York previous to 1895 passed an act commonly called the Collins act, making it a criminal offense (a misdemeanor) for any barber to ply his trade within the State at any place on Sunday except in the City of New York and the village of Saratoga taprings, where they were permitted to work until 1 o'clock Sunday afternoons. Havnor was arrested for a violation of this act and tried and convicted in the Court of Special Sessions in 1895.

He was fined $5. The Appellate Division of the Supremo Court and tho Court of Appealsboth affirmed the judgment. Havnor took an appeal to tho Supreme Court of the United States, on tho ground, among otherB, that tho act nits void under the Constitution of the United States and further under the State Constitution, as it deprived him of equal protection of the laws and was an unwarrantable exeroige of the police power; was class legislation and unwarrantable within the provibionB of the Constitution. Albert T. Sire argued the case for Havnor.

The District Attorney argued that there was no federal question Involved, that the act was a legitimate exercise of the police power vested in the Legislature and that whatever might be said as to the reasonable propriety of making any exception in a general statute, nevertheless that when, after Havnor was arrested for plying his trade iu the City of New York, it was after 1 o'olocfc on Sunday, when the law was actually uniform throughout the State.

He had boon Bitting in front of tho open window and was looking ont, when he suddenly lost his balance and fell out. His myther ran down into the yard expecting to find him dead, but she was amazed to discover that he had only been slightly cut by his fall and was squalling lustily. Surgeon Duffield of the Brooklyn Hospital examined th little fellow, but could find no marks of injury other than the superficial cutH referred to. The boy was not removed to tho hospital.

'Because the Water Cannot Be Delivered in Brooklyn. DTJEAOtTE TO BRING A SUIT. ilt Will Seek to Compel the Certification of the McNamee Contract for a Pipe Line From MiVburn Engineer Van Buren Reports That Five Pumping 'Stations Have Been Shut Down Because There Is No "Way of Conveying Their Supply to the City Daily Value of Wasted Supply Estimated at $975. In reply to some questions addressed to the Department of Walter Supply by the Brooklyn League, Engineer Robert Van Buren reports owing to insufficient conduit capacity five stations on Brooklyn's new water shed have been shut down fcr the past six months. The average daily supply of these five Stations is 15,000,000 gallons.

At the rate of $65 a million gallons, which the city is now paying a private company, Brooklyn is aow wasting dally water worth $975, the league claims, for the simple reascci that if the pumping stations were in operation there would be no pipe line through which to hring the water to Brooklyn. The Brooklyn League, through its committee on legal proceedings, is now talcing steps xo bring an action to compel tSie Controller to certify the contract witti Jotm Mc JJamee for ttie 66 inch pipe line from Mil hum to the old city line. This action on the part of the league will be in the nature of a friendly suit, for the Controller and all of the officials of the Water Supply Department are on record as being In favor of the construction of this pipe line. Tne general opinion, of tbe officials is well expressed by Engineer Van Buren in his report, in whicb lie 9ta tes: "It would be difficult to over "Estimate the evil consequences chat have folio wed the delay in the construction of the additional steel pipe. The contract with MeNamee was duly executed 'by the authorities last year, but Controller Palmer refused to certify it on the ground that if he did work on all other improvements would be stopped.

He took this ground, notwithstanding the fact that the constitution provides that water bonds shall not be reckoned in considering the city's debt limit. Corporation Counsel Whalen. in an opinion dated March 5, addressed to Deputy Commissioner Moffett of the Water Supply Department of this 'borough, quotes sections of the charter from which it might be concluded that the present Controller has the power to certify the contract and if so bonds might be quickly issued ana work begun without further delay. Mr. Whalen advises Mr.

Moffebt. however, that the proper course is to leave the question of present certification to the decision of the courts. Thus it appears that although the city officials, including the Mayor, who gave the" matter careful attention in his first message, favor the construction of the pipe line and speak of the evil consequences that have followed delay, work is at a standstill, and the league, as an organization of interested taxpayers, will call upon The courts to straighten out the tangle. A critical condition of affairs is shown by the report of the engineer, which follows: City of New York. Borough of Brooklyn, Department of Water Supply, is5J.

Engineer's Office, Municipal Building, Room 41, Brooklyn, N. June 2S. 1S9S. James Moffett, Deputy Commissioner of Water Supply: sir In answer to the communication accessed to you by Mr. Edward B.

Lent, sec rotary of the Brooklyn League, under date of June 22 and referred by you to me: The average daily water simnlv for th inar 1897 was 86,400.000 U. S. gallons, and the average uany consumpnon tor tne same period was 87.000,000 V. S. gallons.

There was, therefore, a daily shortage of 600,000 U. S. gallons, which was made up by drawing from he storage reservoirs at Ridgewood and Hempstead.

Estimating the average daily supply of these five stations at 15.000,00 gallons throughout the year, the loss of supply experienced by shutting down these stations would, therefore, aggregate nearly three thousand million gallons.

It should be borne in mind that the waste tfor the four months of the present year above given cannot be considered as the average for the whole year, since the dry season has not yet been reached.

Mr. Brower also reports that before the expiration of the summer it is expected that the portion of the parkway from Seven'ty ninth street to the terminus at Fort Hamilton vrTA be thrown open to the public.

The small amount money spent for labor, maintenance and supplies is due to the farft that winter is an unfavorable season for the prosecution of outdoor improvements. The report for the second quarter will probably show a greatly increased expenditure in these items. Music is furnished now and was not In the first quarter. TAX ON BOTTLED WINES. Stamps Must Be Affixed on All Iiquor Bottled After July 1.

In respons to an inquiry from a wholesale liquor dealer as to whether it is necessary to affix revenue stamps to bottles containing wines if sold to rotailers in quantities representing five gallons or over. Commissioner Scott rules that "''if the question refers to wines bottled and in the hands of a wholesale dealer on July 1, bottled wine which was on hand on that date in the bands of a dealer who is not the mamufacturer thereof may be sold at wholesale without having stamps affixed, payment of the tax thereon bing deferred until it is sold at retail. A sale is held to be at retail under the above ruling when it is made direct to the consumer or his agent, without regard to the quantity involved. Wines bottled on and after July 1 must be stamped at th time they are bottled, and cannot be sold unstamped. There is a scarcity of all the lower denominations of documentary rcvenuo stampB in Brooklyn, but a large consignment is looked for by Monday.

Betail liquor dealers have been very slow in paying their government license tax." Nearly 4,000 are yet to be heard from, and they have only ten days to cover themselveB and be relieved from the heavy penalties the law imposes. A DENTIST IN TROTJBIE. Charged With Pushing a Boy Off a Shed. Edwin Dupignac, a dentist, was held by Magistrate Brenner, for the Special Sessions yesterday afternoon, on a charge of assaulting James Evan, aged 18 years, of 205 Douglas street. Dupignac has an office at 329 Washington treet and there is a shoe shop on the graund floor of the building.

Yesterday a sign painter, who employed Ityan, was busy putting up a sign over the shoe dealer's siore. The lad was standing on a small wooden offset to the store, holding the sign in position, when, according to the statement of witnesses. Dupignac came out of his office with a broom and pushed Ryan off from his small foothold and down to the street, a distance of about 12 feet. In falling the lad dropped on an awning and that reduced the force of his fall to the sidewalk. Ho was badly shaken np and when he appeared in court to give his evidence against the dentist, ho was very nervous and apparently Buffering from the shook.

Dupignac bad nereral witnesses in his own behalf and they sought to give the impression that tho boy had been drinking and that the fall was due entirely to his own fault. Magistrate Brenner thought that there were sufficient facts in the case to warrant him in holding the dentist for the action of the Special Sessions and the case was referred. Dupignac gave bonds for his appearance when wanted. POTJCKY MOUNTED OPFICEB. Stops His Twentieth Runaway on the Boulevard This Season.

Mounted Officer Daly of tho Coney Island precinct, whose post is along the Boulevard and who is known as one of the best horsemen on the force, stopped another runaway on the Boulevard yesterday afternoon, that makinghis twentieth runaway this season. Daly was on the Boulevard, near Neptune avenue, when his attention was called to an apparent disturbance up tho road. The confusion soon resolved itself into a horse and light wagon tearing down the Boulevard. The horso was very apparently beyond the control of the driver, who was tho only person in the wagon. Just boforo the runaway reached Daly, Patrolman Bigncy mado an attempt to stop it, but was unsuccessful.

He was knocked down and bruised. As the wagon paBsed Daly the latter guided his horse alongside and set himself to stop the runaway. He was obliged to rido for nearly half a mile toward the concourse before he could get close enough to the horse to seize the bridle. At last, however, he was able to ride close to the animal's head, seize the bit and bring him to a stop. The horse and wagon wero both unhurt, the course of the runaway having been entirely in the center of the roadway.

The driver of the wagon was Albert Asher, of 10 South Fourth street, Brooklyn. GOVERNOR OF ARIZONA. (Special to the Eagle.) Washington, D. Jnly 16 Ex Governor Murphy of Arizona was to day reappointed Governor of that territor by the President..
