MASON'S, GROUT'S PLAN TO EXTEND SEWER AND WATER MAINS to the Brooklyn office of the Department ot Water Supply detailing that the whole building interests of the borough in districts not now supplied with water are practically ac a standstill, in spite of the fact that the net revenue to the borough from the water taxes is $400,000 annually. To this letter President Grout received a report from Commissioner of Water Supply Dalton, addressed to the Mayor, stating that the delay was caused by a doubt as to whioh fund should furnish the money for work.

"Prom this report," satid President Grout, "it would appear that the situation now hinges upon the opinion of the Corporation Counsel, for which the Water Supply Department is waiting, as to the ssue of bonds. I know of no subject of more pressing and immediately necessary to the people of Brooklyn than ibis, and I request that this board will communicate wkh the Corporation Counsel, and obtain without delay a solution of the legal difficulties which seem to prevent either the isue of bonds or the application to water extension of the funds now in hand."

Original Members of Company Fourteenth Regiment, Contribute to the Eagle's Relief Fund. The Veteran Association of Company Fourteenth Regiment, to day forwarded a contribution of $25 to the Eagle fund for the relief of soldiers' families.

This associaicion previously contributed $35 to tihe same fund. Former Captain W. Wendell, Former Lieutenant Peter C. Erickson, together with Charles Carlson, treasurer of the association, called at the office of the Bureau of Charities yesterday and expressed their gratitude for the relief rendered deserving families of soldiers by the Eagle fund, and also their appreciation of the work of investigation done by the Bureau of Charities. The latter organization Is the agency through which tbe Eagle's fund is disbursed.

Captain Wendell and Lieutenant Erickson, in 1S72, were the organizers and firs officers of Company Fourteenth Regiment, commonly known as the Swedish company. The members of this association know from t'heir o'wn personal observation Mat, although the need of relief work among the soldiers who have returned from Cuba is practically at an end. thero still exists a broad opportunity for noble work in this line among tlie families of soldiers in Brooklyn. The veterans oi Company (' are acquainted with the needs of the familiis that are loft behind and a knowledge of tho good that their contribution would do prompted their generous offer. To day two needy Tamllies, whose principal supports are absent in the Army, vere heip.

The Eagle has received $3 from Eva to be applied to the fund suggested by Dr. Chad wick, to pay the soldiers' traveling expenses heme. The suggestion which was given considerable prominence in the Eagle has awakened a great deal of sympathetic interest and is generally approved.

The Eagle's relief 'tent at Montauk Camp has been finally taken down and the principal part of the relief work there suspended. The Eagle's news force, however, is still at the camp and will answer all inquiries or attend 'to the wishes those who des; to gain Information about soldiere or to help msn In the hospitals.

PROBABLY TEMPORARILY INSANE The Young Man Was Only 22 Years Old He Was a Yale Senior and His Prospects Were Unusually Brig ht.

Had Suffered Prom Illness for Some Time Suicide of a Well Known Flat bush Man. Neal aged 22 years, the only dhiid of Cornelius Dcnnellon, a wealtfiy builder and the vice president of t.ie D. and M. Ohauncey Real Estate Company, committed suicide aft 'tis father's house, S49 Carroll street, at an eariy hour this morning, by sftooting himself tlbroug'ii tlie heart wifa a bullet from a .22 eai'iber revolver. The DonneMon family iive In a handsome four elory granite mansion on Carroll street, near t'je park.

Among the neignbors on Jbe block are Borough TresMent Grout. Colonel Britton, of ttie One Hundred and Fourteenth Regiment, and 0tto Huber. The Dtranellous are Well known in the social and business life of the borougih and Mr. Donneilon is one of tlie meet extensive builders in city and did muoh in ie development of 'Jhe exclusive Prospect Heights neighborhood. Neal was considered a mode', young man.

He was a graduate of the Adelp'hi Academy and was in his senior year at Yaie. He gave promise of a bright future and few young men in ttie borougb "nad better prospects than he. T'iia suicide did not seem to be the result of Jong premeditation and was pro'oabiy the result of a sudden insane impulse. He Tiad been in ill healih for some time and it is believed that this in a measure was t'he cause of the act. Ab far as is known he 'nad no real crou and 'there was no entanglement of the affections in his case.

He was In the habit of getting up early in the morning and the fact that he retired at about 8 o'clock last night was in no way significant. He had been suffering from nervousness and was under the care of Dr. Szigethy of Clinton and St4te streets. Mr. Donnellon had spent the early summer in the Maine woods and returned somewhat improved in health.

he took a vacation at one of the resorts on the Jersey coast. Since then he has been at home and nothing unusual was observed in his demeanor. Dast night, as stated, he retired to his room on the rear of the fourth floor. He chose this location for his sleeping apartment because it was remote and he fancied that he could get better rest there. The colored servant, Susan Thompson, went to bis room at 5:10 o'clock this morning and called him, as she had been instructed by the young man.

He was awake and replied cheerily to her summons, saying that he would be down stairs in a minute or two. Then the gir went about her early morning duties and thought nothing further about the matter. The young man did not appear at 7 o'clock, the usual hour for breakfast, and his mother went up to his room to find out the cause of his absence, for he was usually the first about iu the morning. The mother received an awful shock when she entered her son's room. The young man was lying to bed with a bullet wound in his breast.

He was dressed only in his night shirt and bath i robe. A messenger was sent to the residence of I Dr. H. B. Baylis, ait "125 Seventh avenue, and' the physician hurried back to the house.

He saw that young Donnellon was dead and a further examination convinced aim that he 'had been lifeless ror it least an and a half. Dr. Btiylis advised that 'fho police be notified without delay and himself carried the sad news of the tragedy to the Bergen street station. Detective Sergeant Frank Kelly invade an Investigation and found that there waa nothing suspicious in any way atoout the case. The police saved tihe family the trouble of recounting the details to the reporters.

The arrangements for the funeral have not been completed. Coroner Burger will hold the inquest. Theodore A. Voigt of Platbush Hangs Himself. Theodore A.

Var.gr a retired stock brokeir, 5S years of age and a member of one of the well known families of Flarbush, committed suicide last night at hrls home, SIS Flat bush avenue. He is said to have been alone in the "uouse at the time, his daughter. Miss Daisy, having gone out for a bicycle rule. Miss Voigt returned home at 10 o'clock and was shocked to discover her father's body hanging by a rope from the transom over the door of his bedroom on the second floor of the house. It is supposed that the deceased was mentally derangeo at the time, as he had at one time been declared insane and, according to the pol'ice, confined in an asylum.

Several weeks ago Mrs. Voigt went to the Catskills to visit her mother and left Miss Voigt to care for Mr. Voigt. The young woman had noticed nothing peculiar ia her father's actions of late and d'id not suspect that he was ill or depressed in sprits. Miss Voigr.

is fond of bicycle riding and ofton goes out for a spin through Prospect Park or to call on a friend. Last evening she mounted her wheel and went out for a short run. She i did not expect to be absent long and had no thought that her father was in anything but his usual health. He did not mind remaining alone, he said, and the young woman rode away in the best of spirits. When Miss Voigt returned home she found to her smrprise that the door was locked.

After making several attempts to get into her home the young woman became alarmed and made her way quickly to the office of the Flatbush District Telegraph on Flatbush avenue and asked the counsel and aid of Special Officer Dunne, who gained an entrance to the Voigt home through a window and with a lighted candle ascended the stairs to the second floor. He was followed by Miss Voigt, who was quite as quick to discover the body of her father as was her guide. The young woman became hysterical and it was necessary to remove her to the home of friends, where Dr. Gallagher ol Flatbush and Caton avenues was called to attend her. In the meantime the body had been cut down and Surgeon E.

M. Lazartl of the Kings County Hospital, who hail been hastily summoned, pronounced the man dead. Detective Walter Beits was detailed to make an investigation, and from what information he obtained from John Rust, a brother in law of the deceased, living on Lenox road, and others, decided that Mr. Voigt had taken his own life. The Voight home is a two story and attic structure, standing well back from the street, and is surrounded by a grove of fine old trees.

The famiiy is said to be well to do, despite the reverses of the head, who was obliged to retire from business, which he conducted on Wall street about fifteen years ago. The deceased leaves a wife and several grown children. At the house to day it was said that the arrangements for the funeral had not been completed, but the interment wouhl probably be in Greenwood Cemetery. RUSSIA'S PROTEST. Yokohama.

THE CITY'S ASPHALT FIGHT. Companies Have Thrown Down the Gantlet to the Idayor Latest Bids Far Too High. The asphalt companies have practically thrown down the gauntlet lo Mayor Van Wyck and defied him to dictate to them in the management of their business. That is the situation as developed in the opening yesterday at the Highways Department of new bids for iaying asphalt strips in Long Island City, from the Thirty fourth Street and Astoria Ferry entrances.

Several moiuns ago the Mayor, who is an exnerl and enthusiastic bicyclist, tool: up this plan, proposing it himself in the Board of Estimate as a needed boon to bicyclists from Manhattan and Bronk anxious to try the good roads on Long Island. IU; suggested that bk yele strips be laid from the ferry entrances In Long Island City out to the city line, about four miles in all. Tbe proposition met with favor, and the engineers of the Highways and Finance Departments were directed to estimate the cost. They reached almost identical figures, declaring the work ought to be done for about The Board of Kstimatn appropriated $22,000 for the work and Highways Commissioner Keating was authorized to ask for bids and make contracts. When bi ds opened it was discovered that all of the four bid tiers went far above the estimates of the dopartnumtai eng er.s.

Mr. Keating coul not award contracts for this reason. He afterward appeared before tbe Board of Estimate and asked for an extra appropriation of 1 G.000 to lay the strips, tho lowest bids being this much in excess of tho original appropriation. Tne Mayor told Mr. Keating in most forcible terms then that he would vote no more money and declared that the asphalt companies had combined to fleece Mew York.

Striking the table with his clenched list, he told the Highway? Commissioner he wouid smash that combination even if it became necessary for the ''ity to spend $500,000 or $1,000,000 for a plant of its own. He even went so far as to direct Commissioner Keating to begin a thorough Investigation as to tho feasibility of the city's building an asphait plant of its own and have 'his facts and figures ready when the board should begin to consider next year's It will now be interesting to see what Mayor Van Wyck will do t.o smash the combination. He says the companies charge New York double what should be charged, and that they are in close combination to mulct the city. Mr, Keating has asked for no money in his departmental estimate for the establishment of a city plant. The Mayor will have bim before tho Hoard of EKtimao, however.

IPresented to Public Improvement Board for Consideration. IMMEDIATE ACTION" trXGED.

President Grout Recommends That tne Sewers of the Bay Ridge and Green point Districts Be Repaired and Extended at Once at a Cost of $350,000, (All of Which Will Hot Be Required This Year Building Interests of the Borough at a Standstill Because of the Lack of Water. President ot the Borough Grout presented resolutions before the Board of Public Improvements this afternoon, looking to the extension ot water and sewer mains in this borough, two vital improvements that have stood absolutely still this year, owing to the coiurovercy over the debt limit. Brooklyn has averaged a big mileage of new water service for each year for a number of years, while the sewer work has averaged thirty far.es annually up to the time of consolidation. Since then, not a fsot of new work in either branch of the borough's service has een begun, and President Grout has been deluged with complaints and petitions. The Board of Health has joined in the demand for improvements and additions to the sewerage system, and President Grout fears that the city may be liable to damage suits if something is not soon done.

The sewerage fund at present idle amounts $302,000, bonds to the amount of $100,000 laving been redeemed and assessments aggregating $60, 00 having been paid into the fund of $342,000 on January 1 last, yet no work has been undertaken this year. There te $50,000 of work contracted for last year which awaits certification, and this would leave a balance in excess of $250,000. The two improvements mostr. needed in the sewerage are believed by the president of the borough to he in Bay Ridge, 'Sewerage Districts 41 and 42, and the work in Greenpoint known as ihe Provost and Huron stree: sewer. In the latter district the water backs into the houses after storms and it is hern that the Beard of Health recommends lm I mediate work.

Each of these improvements. at a rough estimate, would cost $175,000. Th balance of $250,000 nix President Grout's opinion, warrant the commencement of the work, relyine uion the payment of assessments to complete "re. In the payment of sewera.ee assesemenrB the system of cn arging 0 per cent, interest on all unpaid levies has always resulted in very promrt reiurnw of rtie immrtv nor and President Grout thinks that nnnrtiri.m warrant a euart on the wort anrl hi mjnin. tion this afternoon so recommend.

in tne case of 'toe water main extensions tne oE which is seriously deterrine im provements in the districts not now supplied, tne debt limit does not apply, and It Is possible to convert the water taxes into a fund for such work.

If the amount of the fund on hand is not sufficient to complete each of the proposed improvements, a portion of the work on each can be authorized, and while the work Is progressing there Is no doubt thnt enough will be paid in on assessments to complete the work. So far as commencing work authorized last year and lacking only the Controller's certification. 1 ee no reason why it cannot be undertaken at once has already been menanced lecause these ewers have not been constructed, and further de Jay may result in damage suits against the city. Of oil city improvements, sewers are the most Important, and that they are being neglected In Brooklyn is shown by tlie fact that many employee of the Department of Sewers of that borough haw been laid off because there is no work for them to do.

TO DISCUSS EQUAL TAXES. Proposed Mass Meeting of Brooklyn Citizens to Further the Interests of This Borough. No question has been more prominently in in the minds of Brooklyn cax payers Chan that of equal taxation as provided for under the charter of the Greater New York. Whether this has been secured is yet xo be determined, hut to secure it. if possible, is the declared intention of many large holders of real estate in Brooklyn.

Whatever the efforts in that direction, until now they have been made individually winh results not attainable or noticeable. To bring about concerted action, and in order 'that this action may have the bes possible results, E. 0. M. Fitzgerald, of Fitzgerald, has, after conferring with a number of other brokers and property owners, as well as with lawyers familiar with the construction of the charter, issued the following letter calling for co operation and advising that public meetings be held to discuss the question ot equal taxation: Dvar sir The ehan for the Greater city prumifes MCiualization of taxation.

As a rul Xew York City property has beon aiul is taxed at an of ahout pft of valuation. Krooklyn on th contrary, has bc en ta xed from To per cent. ui to hs full value. The given to the Dtloity Tax Commissioners for Krooklyn by the head nt' the department, as we have oeen informed, will not rectify this inequality. The consequence will be that when the tax rolls shall be completed the borough of Manhattan pn.perty will still be taxed at about jier and the borouffh of Brooklyn at the clil rate, despite the intentions and promises of the charter.

Several property owners have (riven consideration to this matter ami are disposed to se to it that no Injustice he done to Brooklyn, if within their power and the nwer of the courts to prevent It: otherwise it will not only affect tfie sale, of Brooklyn propf vty fc some time, but will be far reaching in other bad results. In the Interests of your own property and that of your clients will you join with us in a meeting with the view of enKafrlng eminent counsel to represent our interests. This letter will be sent to all large property owners and to the leading brokers throughout Brooklyn and the result of this effort to eecure the desired right will depend upon how generally the movement Is supported, in seeking the interests of all concerned. To a reporter Mr. Fitzgerald said this morning: "I am sending a copy of this letter to a number of prominent property owners and taxpayers, both professional and business men in Brooklyn, with a view to having them take immediate action.

People in Manhattan especially politicians, think we Brooklynites are asleep, but they will find that we are very much awake before we settle this question of taxation. I have given to this and other taxations to which the public have been subjected careful consideration. I am familiar with the provisions of the charter and am going to try to see that Brooklyn properties are not overtaxed. "I 'had occasion a short time ago to visit the Bronx 'and while there found that property was being sold for three times as much as we can sell property for in our suburbs, distant only Shirty minutes' ride from the Cky Hall in Manhattan, and with only 5 cents car fare, while to the Bronx it is 30 cents. When the people of the Bronx learn tlhat this property in Brooklyn is in existence, and the many advantages that surround it.

you will find that before many years Brooklyn will be built up largely at the expense of the upper districts of the Manhaiitan boroughs. "The purpose in calling this matter to the public's attention is to h'ave the taxpayers of Brooklyn call a. mass meeting, at the Academy of Music or some other suitable place, and we will make it a point to see that the men of Manhattan who are responsible for existing Inequality of taxation get a special invitation I to debate with same of our most eloquent and learned citizens on cne provisions of tihe charter and what Brooklyn has every right to expect as a very important factor in providing funds for Greater New York expenditures."

GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY. The It cms It of Imperfect DisrcMion oi Fnil. Every living thing, plant or animal, contains within itself the germs of certain decay and death. In the human body these germs of disease" and death (called by scientists Ptomaines), are usually the result of imp.jrfe.ci digestion, of food; the result of indigestion or dyspepsia. The stomach, from abuse, weakness, does not promptly and thoroughly digest, the food.

The result is a heavy, sodden mass which feWnerits (the first process of dec ay) po, selling the blood, making it thin, weak and lacking in red corpuscles; piisoning tlie brain causing headaches ami pain in the eyes. Bad digestion irritates the heart, causing palpitation and finally bringing on disease of this very important organ. Poor digestion poisons the kidneys, causing Bright's disease and diabetes. And this is so because every organ, every nerve depends upon the stomach alone for nourishment and renewal, and weak digestion shows Itself not only In loss of appetite and flesb, but in weak nerves and muddy complexion. The great English scientist, Huxley, said the beat start in life is a sound stomach.

Weak stomachs fall to digest food properly, because they lack tbe proper quantity of ui gestive acids (lactic and hydrochloric) and peptogenlc products: tbe most sensible remedy in all cases of indigestion Is to take after each meal one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because they supply In a pleasant, harmless form all tbe elements that weak stomachs lack. The regular use. of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lots will euro every form of stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach. They increase flesh, insure pure blond, strong nerves, a bright eyu and clear complexion, because aJ! these result on.y from wholesome food well digested. Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at 50 cents full sizeij package or by mail by inclosing price to Stiur' Marshall.
