Trout Season Opened Three Days Earlier Than TTsuaL FISH GAMEY AND PLENTIFUL Irivate Trout Preserves "Well Stocked and Closely Guarded A Few Good Spots Left Where the Streams May Be Whipped for the Speckled Beau ties Some of the Noted Fishermen Who Were Out Before Sunup, Special to the Eagle). Glen Cove, L. March 30 Early this morning before the sun had thought of rising the trout fishing season opened In Glen Cove.

The new law which permits trout fishing on Long Island three days earlier than usual was observed' to the letter and every man and boy with the time and inclination was ready to cast his line this morning. Probably nowhere on Long Island can be found better fishing ground than that afforded by the two lakes at Glen Cove, which, are fed by a large brook and Innumerable springs. In addition to the natural brook trout, always abundant there In, these lakes bave been stocked with rainbow trout by several of our entbusiaa ic sporis men. The trout in these lakes are very gamey and weigh generally from one quarter to three and a half For many years the 81st day of March brought Thomas Jerome of New York to Glen Cove. who.

thouirh 80 years of age, was among the first to cast his line on" April l. General James B. Pearsa.ll, Louis T. Duryea, Frederick Schleicher and P. Crummy are the most expert of the local sports, although the small boy, with a hickory pole, cork and Btore twine for tackle, frequently lands a fine fish before the manipulator of the reel ana fly.

Sayville, March 30 Many lovers of trout flBhing were out in this morning's fog along the different streams and ponds Jn this neighborhood. During the past week many of the fishermen visited the trout resorts and from indications report that the natural streams show an abundant supply of fish. At the South Side Club house, which is a private resort, unusual preparations had been made and many members of the club reported for the first day'B fishing. Roosevelt's pond and Lotus lake, which are both on the outskirts of Sayville, are private, but as no regular watchmen are employed to proteut them, hundreds of fish are captured every year by poachers. The West brook, which is owned by George Thelss of New York, Is considered one of the best Btreams In the place, but being Drotected bv a high picket fence, poachers are kept from casting tneir nnes in tnat locality, s.

J. Noe, who has charge of Thelss" stream, has been offered 120 for a single day's fishing, but re fused the offer. Fishermen say that the larg est trout on tne soutn side of Long Island are found in that stream. The ideal private trout resort to be found In this locality is owned by I. H.

Green, who has spent years and a vast amount of money in perfecting the streams, which wind for al most half a mile through his estate On both sides of the stream are laid walks which are open for the public, who can watch the trout swimming in the clear water. Patrick Mullen, his private watchman, keeps an eye open night and day to see that the fish are protected from any but Mr. Green's most intimate friends. The leading fishermen of this place are H. T.

Rogers, Harry Shattuck, H. T. Hilderbrandt, William Harris, Paul viron, i. ri. ureen, s.

v. Noe ana S. P. Green, and they were all out to day. Bay Shore, L.

March 30 The trout ponds seem to be more plentifully stocked than usual this year, according to the reports of those who have been prospecting for good spots in which to fish. Some of the best places for the sport are not open to tho public. Bastlake will probably receive more than Its usual share of attention this year. More people fish here than in'any other pond in the place. It's celebrated because President Cleveland fished here, a few years ago.

Hyde's pond, in the extreme western part of the village. Is stocked better than any other, but it is very rarely that any one Is allowed to liaa there. Among other ponds In the village where trout are plentiful are Papermlll pond, on the boundary between Isllp and Bay Shore; the small pond in Ideal park, near the railroad station; Brewster's pond, where the largest trout ever caught In the village was taken; Lawrence's two ponds, which are private property. Captain Samuel Albin has the championship of Bay Shore for catching the largest trout, i It 'weighed four pounds, and was taken from pond. The town of Isllp has more trout streams and ponds within Its boundaries than any other section of the same area on Long Island.

Among those who started this morning for a day's fishing were Dr. J. Zimmerman Wild, John Charters, Le Grange V. Cartwrtght, Harrison P.Rosemon, Will Robbins, Charles Wil ley and Captain Albin. LOOKING FOB DR.

SMITH. Biverhead, L. March SO The authorities are looking for a man representing himself as Dr. Smith of the Long Island hospital, who arrived on the 11:02 train Saturday and registered at the Griffin houBe. He 'was richly dressed, wore adiomond ring, was tall, of dark complexion and rather fine looking.

He ordered uhorBe, carriage and a driver and drove off, saying he had business in the country. At 'Middle road he visited Moses Benjamin, aged 80, and living alone. The man told Mr. Benjamin that friends had sent him to examine his eyes. "Why, you have cataracts on both eyes," said Dr.

Smith and examined them. Then he removed what he called the cataracts, showing them to Mr. Benjamin. He sucoeeded in talking the old man out of 15 for his services. It is said he repeated the performance all along Baiting Hollow and Middle Bdad and made good his escape by having the boy drive him to Baiting Hollow, where he took the train.

Kendrlck Bangs, in the Buster Eftglc NoxfrSooday. ror and tho wounded man was taken to St. Mary's hospital. Before his removal he re gained consciousness and told the sergeant that Lynch had done tbe shooting. As the officer, accompanied by the detective, walked toward Lynch house ho saw two men crossing a vacant lot In the rear of lthe building, and, surmising that one of them was Lynch, tho gave chase, while the detective went Into the house.

The two men, seeing the sergeant's uniform, stood still and awaited his coming. One of them said coolly: "I am the man who did the shooting," and Lynch handed over a .32 caliber revolver with every chamber loaded. He was placed under arrest, put on the patrol wagon and driven to the hospital as fast as the horses would, run. McCormick was already on the operating table, surrounded by several doctors, who were preparing to probe for the bullets. He raised his arm and, pointing his finger at Lynch, said: "That is the man who shot me.

The prisoner was then taken to the Grant street police Btatlon and locked up. McCormick received two bullets In tne hip, two in the back and one in the shoulder. If the physicians succeed In extricating all the bullets the man's life will be saved, they say. Beside these wounds McCormick Is Injured about the head, where Lynch kicked him. AN ENGINE DERAILED.

Engine No. 83 of the Long Island' railroad lies on its side, a complete wreck, at Bath Junction. Yesterday morning about o'clock its air brakes refused to work and it ran into a heavy frog that was laid "across the tracks the night before. Engineer William N. Roo ney of CO East avenue, Long Island City was the only person Injured.

He received a scalp wound, which was dressed by Dr. C. H. Had ley of Blythebourne, and afterward left for his home. About fifty Italians were aboard the work car attached, they received nothing more than a shaking up.

The Long Island company is putting its tracks In order for the coming summer season. On Saturday evening new frogs were placed across the tracks near the New Utrecht avenue crossing, so as to be handy when the workmen arrived first thing yesterday morning. No regular trains are run at night over the Long Island tracks this season of the year, so there was no fear of an accident on that score. The working train, consisting of an engine and one car, left East New York about 6 and. made good time toward the Junction.

There is a down grade as it nears the crossing and Engineer Rooney was not long In finding out that his air brakes would not work. He whistled for down brakes, but It was too late. The yenglne struck the heavy frog and turned completely over, falling on Its side plumb In the middle of the West End trolley tracks. Engineer Rooney scrambled out and felt relieved that he escaped with a scalp wound. Fireman William White made his way out of the wreck without receiving scarcely a scratch.

The workmen In the car were all thrown forward in a heap by the sudden stop and they climbed out of the car In a great hurry. A wrecking train was hastily dipatched for and the work of removing the wreck hurried. It was 2 o'clock in the afternoon before the collapsed engine was removed to one side and traffic on the West End trolley road allowed to resume. Hundreds of persons stood all morning in the pouring rain watching the wreckers at work. OFFICER GRIFFEN'S GOOD RECORD.

Mounted Officer Griffen of the Bath Beach police station has added another clever capture of a runaway to his record. On Saturday evening, after a chase of many blocks, he stopped a runaway horse attached to Frederick Fluger's carriage. Mr. Fluger himself was in the vehicle, and he was loud In his praises of the officer's bravery. "He takes great ohances," he afterward told the police captain, "but he seems to know Just how to go about." Officer Griffen Is one of the old New Utrecht policemen and only a few weeks ago become a mounted man.

Since then he has stopped three runaways," and in each instance they were clever lightning captures and prevented accidents to the drivers or damages caused by collision. ASSEMBLYMAN WALDO ENGAGED. Tho engagement is announced of George T. Waldo of Flatbush to Miss Flora, eldest daughter of A. Henderson of Alabasse, Fla.

PARKVILLE NOTES. A New York man was down the road SaturSay looking for a Site on the boulevard on which he could build a hotel to be run especially for the accommodation of people Who wheel. Part of Foster avenue was blocked yesterday by a team and wagon stuck In the mud. The resident's on the street say that although the street is In a very bad condition, it 1b made worse by a broken hydrant. Horses and cows enjoy more liberty here than in other parts ot the city, being allowed to roam In any of the streets.

Officials in the city hall will be appealed to for relief: William F. Stevenson, one of Parlcville's most enterprising citizen, has set an example which appears to be the only way of obtaining relief from nhe deplorable condition of the sidewalks. For two days he has had workmen putting cinders on the walk on Foster avenue. The improvement Is not only made In front of big property, but also that of his neighbors as well, a distance of 1,000 feet In all. C.

New York, 128 Chambers St. LONG ISLAND POLITICS. A HEMPSTEAD NOMINATION THAT MAY REACH THE COURTS. Hempstead, L. March 30 There promises to be a serious legal contest involved If Town Clerk Francis Brill decides to place the name of Daniel H.

Gacquln, as Democratic candidate for supervisor, on the town ballots in the place of George W. Smith. As was published In the Eagle of Thursday last, George W. Smith, the Republican nominee, was also indorsed by the Democratic convention on Wednesday as the candidate of their party for the office. The next morning Town Cleric Brill talked the situation over with some of the extreme party men of the organization and they decided that Smith must withdraw.

Brill called on Smith and In an Interview Informed him that the party did not want him and asked him to withdraw his name. Smith said: "I do not wish to force my name on the party and if they do not want me I will decline the nomination." He thereupon sat down and wrote out his declination of the Democratic nomination, but Instructed Brill, In the presence of a witness, to hold on to his letter until 2 o'clock the next day, when he was to see some of his friends. Brill showed Smith's letter to a number of people and the news of his declination from the Democratic ticket spread rapidly over the town. A number of prominent Democrats waited upon Smith, asking him why he had written such a letter. When told of what Brill bad said, they Informed him that it was not so and that the delegates still wanted him to stick.

He then sent In a letter of acceptance at once and requested Clerk Brill to at once return his letter of declination, according to agreement. This Brill refused to do. Gocquin's name was placed on the ticket Friday by the town committee after Smith's letter was shown them by Brill. Prominent lawyers say that Smith's declination is of no effect and that he is still the legal candidate of the Democratic party. The ballot law specifies that any candidate declining a nomination must write out his declination and have it properly subscribed to and witnessed before a notary.

The mere written statement made by Smith and handed to Brill was of no effect. Brill had the name of Gacquln put on the ticket Friday and unless It is taken off to day Town Clerk Brill will be guilty of a misdemeanor. Easthampton, March. 30 EaBthampton town politics have taken an entirely new color within the past week, and it actually seems as if the political road which the people of East have trodden for the past fifteen yeara had at last come to a Immediately "after the Springs party had published the notice of its caucus, to be held to night, it was announced that another oancuB would be held the same night and hour and that the independents would put a ticket in the field. The SpringB party, or the so called peoples' party, will put the present incumbents in office on their ticket for re election, as it has been wont to do for years.

There has been considerable dissatisfaction of that method of conducting town affairs for some time, and at last East hampton'B leading merchant, B. H. Van Spay, has came out and declared that ho would ran for the office of town clork, against J. 8. Asharm, the present incumbent, who will be renominated.

Both candidates are Popular business men. and tho election his year will be fraught with interest. The Independents will head their ticket with George A. Miller for supervisor, and in that respect both tickets will be alike. But it i altogether likely that they will nominate a new board of trustees.

The present board is in favor of selling the beach lands, and thiB a large proportion of the inhabitants are opposed to, therefore much interest will settle upon the election of trustees.

Under the family roof and in the home, there morality and moderation of habits are instilled. Home influence is the best legislature and the speaker of the house must be the mother. Her decision must be law, from which no appeal can be taken.

The Rev. Dr. Wint ner took occasion to speak on "The Higher Aims 01 referring to a number of the current topics of the day, and selecting as his text the third book of Moses "And proclaim freedom throughout the land unto the inhabitants thereof." He said in part: "This is a glorious day of liberty. It Is the first dawn upon the horizon of humanity for over three thousand years. We shall proceed to analyze that spiritual bridge spanning ocean and stream from the banks of the Nile to the banks of the Hudson.

We Americans boast Of belnc: thA frivlt rwrtnla In tlio Ttrrvrl n.V.l,V, boast Is justified, indeed. Our international prestige Is satisfactory, and commands the respect, of the outside world as was shown lately when we gave a strong reminder to European royalty and gave them to understand that there was such a thing as the Monroe doctrine, the incarnation of republicanism, which is the political creed of our country. But we cannot hide the fact that the very system of which we boast is misconceived and abused. How many evil things are perpetrated in the name of freedom, and even our ancient Pesach comes to us to be a dead message. People nowadays speak of up to date methods in every human activity end even in religion.

The celebration of this feast teaches us lessons of freedom as interpreted and conceived in the Bible, moral and spiritual freedom. It teaches us what are the higher and nobler alms of civil, religious and personal liberty. It is remarkable the way in which the ten commandments, the ethical ediflce of the civilized world are sometimes construed. They begin: 'I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, from the land of slavery." It is God who created man free and imbued him with a free volition and a free conscience. He says: 'Be free all men, but keep my Be free, but keep the Sabbath holy; be free, but honor thy father and mother; be free, but thou shalt not kill; be free, but thou shalt not steal; be free, but thy soul sbalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor; be free, but not avaricious, grasping, mean and small In thy transactions with thy fellow Here is a scathing rebuke to those in our land whose capital accumulates to a great extent and those who combine into gigantic monopolies and abuse the freedom of their wealth to corrupt legislatures and the men at the head of our government, to those who use their wealth to crush legitimate competition, to oppress the poor who are compelled to pay high prices for the necessaries of life, to crush the laborer and the workingman and by which method they give weapons to 'the socialists and anarchists to endanger our country.

'Let the law of God be thy guide in the business and industrial worlds and thy yardstick will become unto thee a staff of life instead of a dagger to stab thy competitors with." "As we enjoy civil and religious liberty in this great republic we must remember our previous condition and its lessons and show sympathy with others who are persecuted in other The atrocities of a war are being nerpetrated before our very eyes in unfortunate Cuba. Those atrocities cry to heaven and it is our highest duty as a free nation to assist them to the right life of liberty and purity and happiness. In Artnenla, too, we should show to the world that It is not diplomatic trickery that guides our nation, but national justice, humanity and a love of our fellow men." There was a splendid musical service led by Cantor Heifer, who chanted the words in a fine tenor voice. PALM SUNDAY AT ST. BARNABAS'.

There were attractive services yesterday in St. Barnabas' church, Bushwick avenue, In observance of Palm Sunday. The church was decorated with palms and branches were distributed among the congregation. In the morning the rector, the Rev. Dr.

Cartwright, spoke of Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. In the evening he preached on the vicarious nature of Christ's suffering and death. He referred to the events to be commemorated during the holy week, and inquired into their significance and The rector then pointed out the need of the atonement and its compatibility with the character and government of God. Its need was found in man's moral consciousness and condition, anu its relation to God arose from His character as the universal lawgiver and governor, rather than from His paternal character. He then showed how the sacrifice of Christ had been prefigured under the law.

foretold by the prophets, declared by Christ Himself, and enforced by the apostles, and how In this sacrifice the perfections of God harmonized and how through it the redemption of the world was assured. The sermon was listened to with profound attention. The musical service was by a vested choir of forty four voices. CLAIMS OP THE Y. M.

A. was made yesterday afternoon, by the Rev. A. F. Schaufller, D.

In the Central 'Baptist church, Marey avenue and South Fifth street, of which the Rev. J. L. Ray is pastor. The Rev.

A collection amounting to $38 was taken and a number ot other donations' promised. WOMEN AND CHRISTIANITY.

FrankHn Stelner spoke on this subject be fore the Philosophical society of Brooklyn In the Long Island Business college hall yesterday afternoon. Mr. Stelner took up first the assertion made from the pulpit, and giving the authority of leading Christians for the same, namely, that Christianity had elevated women, and that all the rights women had were due to Christianity. Of course, the clergy, Mr. Stelner said, were very anxious to have that opinion prevail because women were the pillars of the church, and if they did not support It, it would fall.

The clergy wished to control women, because through them they could control the men and the children, or, in fact the rest of the world. He. Mr. Stelner, wished to give a flat contradiction to assertion made from tho pulpit. It could not be established in face of the teaching of the Bible.

The conduct ot the Christian church toward women, and the 1 Why not be a well woman this spring? There are women who cannot tolerate the smallest neglect about the house who too often take no care of their health. They should use these precious March days for getting strong and well by taking Paine's celery compound the greatest of all spring remedies. Miss Elsie M. Brown of 2 Leeds street, Dorchester, whose picture is given above, wrote the 5th of this month as follows: "Four or five years ago I suffered with dreadful pains in my back (owing to my kidneys), so much so that night after night I could not close my eyes, and what few hours sleep I did get I could be heard moaning and tossing, showing that even in my sleep I suffered pain. At times I would have more pain than usual over my left hip, and when waking In the morning it would be all I could lawB of Christian countries 'regarding them, tended to enslave them.

These laws In many countries were harsh and unjust, and tended to put women on an inferior plane to men. He quoted Blackstone, Sir Henry Maine, Lord Brougham and the Rev. Charles Kinsley with the view of proving that the laws of Christian countries had been deterlmental to the welfare and rights of women. The originators of the women's suffrage movement did not believe, Mr. Stelner contended, in Christianity, among them Thomas Paine, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and John Stuart Mill.

Mr. Steiner concluded by reciting the poem by George E. Macdonald, entitled, "What Will You Give In Its Place." CATHARINE BOREN'S BETROTHAL RING. H. Metzlnger of 35 Greenpoint avenue, near the Greenpoint ferry, has just come into possession of a ring which he believes to be the betrothal ring of Martin Luther's wife.

He also has a pen and ink portrait of Napoleon, taken from life In 1808 by J. Trumbull, who was a noted artist and an aide decamp of General Washington, and who, Mr. Metzlnger says, made the above collection of hair during the revolution, and which, on the death of Turmbull, descended to his heirs and from them to the American Art association auction room, and with over 300 other relics were on March 19 and 20 last sold to the highest bidder.

If you have any doubt at all these1 spring days about your health If neuralgic twinges, kidney troubles, dizzy spells, indigestion or heart palpitation show themselves, don't wait for plainer warnings.
