The trouble seems to have been caused by the attitude of the United Trades and Labor Council in regard to the marine and stationary engineers, some of whom are organized as local No. IT, and who are affiliated with the International Longshoremen's Association. It Is said that at its last meeting the United Trades and Labor Council refused to honor the credentials of the delegates chosen to represent local No. 17 In the trades and that admission to the meeting was refused them.

Mr. Pettit was 59 years old and' a native or London, England. He had been in the wholesale butter business since 1859 and at the head of the firm of Pettit Reed since 1884. They had previously been companion clerks when the firm was N. Smith.

Mr. Pettit was a member of the Produce Exchange, the Mercantile Exchange of Manhattan and of the Union League Club of this borough. His wife and two children survive him. The funeral will be held from his late residence tomorrow evening, at 8 o'clock. William H.

He was educated at Columbia Law School and entered the office of the Title Guarantee and Trust Company, where he was engaged until the year before his death. He was well known In real estate circles and was a popular and active member of the Logan Club of the Twenty second Ward.

The remains were brought to Brooklyn, where the funeral was held privately and the interment was had at New Providence, N. J. CAPTAIN ELDRIDGE KILLED. Portland, October 4 Assistant Adjutant General McCain at Vancouver Barracka has received a telegram from Manila stating that Captain Bogardua Eldridge of the Fourteenth Infantry was killed In the fighting around Imus. He leaves a wife and threo children who are now residing at Vancouver Barracks.

Captain Eldridge was appointed to Wost Point from Massachusetts. August 31. 187R and assigned to the Tenth Infantry; promoted to nrst lieutenant in tne game regiment May 21, 1883; promoted to captain September 7, 1897, and assigned to the Fourteenth Family Troubles Over a Bank Check Create Great Excitement. POLICEMAN'S BUSY PERIOD. liother in Law, Husband and Wife, Mixed Up in a Disturbance Which Ends Peaceably.

There was a lively scene between two well dressed woman and a man In front of the Park Theater at about 9:30 o'clock this morning. The man and one of the women were young, while the second woman was old enough to be the man's mother. That, indeed, proved to be the relationship. When first seen the man and the younger woman were struggling for the possession of a piece of paper, which was unmistakably a bank check. The fight for the check was fierce and once or twice It seemed as if the woman had secured It.

There was a lively exchange of abuse between the two, hut it was noted with more or less pleasure on the part of the crowd that the pair refrained from unseemly talk. Pretty soon the old woman, who had stood aloof for a while, took part in the scrimmage. The fight became bitter then. The man had secured possession of the bank draft and had put it in his pocket, while the two women quarreied and fought. The elder woman went at the other like a tigress and soon the women were clawing at each other's faces and hair.

There was a crowd in a few minutes which overflowed the curbstones and was menaced by the passing trolley cars. Policeman Ansbro, who Is in charge of the busy crossing at Adams, Fulton and Willoughby streets, wr.s attracted by the crowd and left his post, fearing that some one would get under the wheels of some of the passing parade of trolley cars. He elbowed his feet 3 inches of uniformed altitude into the center of the crowd and with semi judicial authority asked what all the row was about. His appearance put a stop to the light between the women, which was getting fiercer every minute. The man explained that the younger woman was his wife, with whom he was not lust then living, and that the other was his mother.

"They can't get along well together," the man was proceeding to say, when the officer broke in: "I can see that." "Yes," said the younger woman, "ho has stolen a check from roe. It is for the support of his baby. He has taken it from me and the chock Is mine. I want it back." There was a protracted pow wow and the officer and the three edged in the direction of Adams street. They had reached a point near a big cigar store when the man told tho policeman that he was willing to give up the check.

The officer advised him to do so, and after some more palaver the man reluctantly gave tho woman the paper for which she had been struggling. She broke through the crowd then and made a dash for upper Fulton street. The man and the older woman made as if to follow at her heels. "Oh no," said tho policeman, grasping each of them by the shoulders, "give her a show to get away." He held them, diplomatically, while the crowd cheered. The younger woman took to her heels and passed out of sight.

After proper period had passed the officer released the other two. They darted after her, but she had secured such a good start that it is unlikely that they overtook her. "I declare," said Ansbro, after the excitement was over and a reporter was asking hicn about the case. "I never thought of taking the names of the people, but it was not a matter for arrest anyway. But they wore all very angry though." GEOGRAPHICAL CONGRESS.

Invitation to Hold the Next Session in Washington Results of the Convention. Berlin, October 4 The international geographical congress has referred to its business committee invitations from St. Peterburg, Washington and Budapest, with respect to the holding of the next session. The committee will communicate with authorities at the places named and will then determine upon a locality. The congress has also decided to adhere to the practice of allowing four or five years to intervene between its sessions and referred to the business committee the question whether the next meeting should be held In 1903 or 1904.

Briefly summarized, the labors of the congress are the following: Resolutions including the appointment of an international committee for the organization of magnetic meteorological work in connection with Antarctio expeditions; recommendations for the universal employment of metric weights and measures In scientific work; the maintenance of the present division of time degrees without prejudice to any future change in degrees; the establishment of an international seismolog leal society; the constitution of an international seismic research commission; the designing of a uniform map of the globe on a scale of one to a million; the designation of the Danish Meteorological Institute for the drift Ice observations and a proposal to urge the respective governments represented bv the delegates to favor carrying out the decisions of the Stockholm oceauograph conference. THE YAQUI INDIAN CAMPAIGN. Mexico Making Strenuous Efforts Bring the War to a Speedy Termination. to Austin, October i A telegram received here from Oriz, State of Sonora, says: The Mexican government Is making strenuous efforts to get all its forces in the field at once and bring the YaquI Indian war to a speedy termination. If they do not do so Deiore next April, when the three month3 rainy season sets in, it means that the war will last through next summer, which the Mexican government wants to prevent if possible.

For that reason It will push the mat ter as mucn as possible at present. Jose Gonzales, the chief of construction of the federal telegraph lines in the State of Sonora. who has been In the mountains for three weeks past trying to repair some two hundred miles of telegraph wire, laid waste by the Indians, has returned, accompanied by his escort of cavalry and force of line men. He reports two engagements with the Indians, the first oc curlng about two weeks ago with no casualties and only a brier running fight. The.

second occurred last Monday and resulted in three soldiers being killed and one or two injured. He says his men replaced many miles of broken wire, but to little purpose, as the Indians followed them at a safe distance and tore down the wires as rapidly as they were repaired. The Indians seem to be in excellent fighting trim and apparently are growing bolder every day. INDICTED FOR PERJURY. Kankakee, 111., October 4 Morris Goldfon, Reuben Miller, Benny Goldman and Floyd Carey, all of Chicago, have been Indicted ror perjury hero.

Goldfon is a detective. Last May he testified that Sidney Ringo. colored. had confessed to the murder or Mr. and Mrs.

Rouglvie Was Aided by An. other Who Was Polite and Handsomely Attired.

JEWELRY WORTH $300 TAKEN, Kalbfleisch Brothers Tried to Capture the Burglars but They Escaped Excitement on Clinton Avenue. An acrobatic burglar, with rough manners, but well dressed, and a polite burglar, with smooth and polished air and also handsomely attlred, managed to rob the house 01 Karl Kalbfleisch. at 533 Clinton avenue, of 5300 worth of Jewelry last night about 10 o'clock. when the family was at home. The burglars confined their personal operations hhIt Ij to Karl Kalbfleisch, a young man who Is a grandson of Martin Kalbfleisch, once Mayor of Brooklyn.

He is also a member of the Franklyn H. Kalbfleisch Chemical Manufacturing Company. The polite burglar first delighted this young man with his display Qf good breeding and his charming suavity of manner. Then the acrobatic burglar by displaying a rudeness utterly lnexcusablu in a burglar operating in the exclusive circles of Clinton avenue, more tban neutralized all the good opinions that had been formed of his partner iu the "second story" business. The rough mannered robber created consternation by his deportment.

This morning Detective Sergeant Raleigh of the Fifty first Precinct police station, with a detail of precinct detectives, is trying to catch the two burglars. As young Albert was returning to his home about. 10. o'clock be had no thought of burglars. When he entered the gate that opens into the spacious grounds surrounding the old Barnes mansion, where the Kalbiletsches live, there was nothing to suggest such a subject to his mind.

When he met a nicely dressed and pleasantly spoken young man going down the walk out of the grounds he did not thinlt of burglars. When the nice young man lifted his new brown Fedora hat and smilingly passed the compliments of the evening with the returning member of the. Kalbfleisch household Karl was delighted with, his ingratiating way3. Not until he went on Into the bouse, talked to his brother in the billiard room, did he have the slightest idea that burglars were about. Even then he did not wholly entertain such an idea.

He was curious to know who the nice young call.or was and he askod Herbert, his brother, who had been calling on him. "Why, I've had no caller," said Herbert. "Yes," but I met a neatly dressed young man on the walk and spoke to him as he went out," persisted Karl, who could not understand why Herbert should not tell him who had called. When Herbert insisted that no one had called, Karl, in an investigative spirit, opened the front door to see if the strange caller had departed. He thought he saw him loitering up the street, and he went to tho edge of the veranda to be able to see wit: a surer eye.

Then the rough mannered Burglar got in his work. This burglar was just climbing down one of the big columns that support the roof of the front veranda and his 'feet were within five feet of the ground when young Kalbfleisch got in his way. He actually put his feet on the young man's shoulder, and when Karl caught his legs and pushed them off, the burglar came tumbling down in a heap and carried Karl down the front steps with him. Karl afterward told the police that he tried to hold the man, but the police said this morning that Karl went inside for his brother. When Herbert arrived on the scene the rough burglar had gone.

The two young men secured Sergeant Vanderberg of the Americau District Telegraph police and, thus reifcforeed, they went alter the burglars. They went down Fulton street, but the two handsomely dressed criminals had had time to catch a trolley car and had gone home some time before the sergeant and the two other pursuers arrived. Foiled In their efforts to capture the burglars the two brothers went back to ascertain the damage. They went up stairs and found one bedroom door locked on the inside. Thev pried open this door and went in to find that a small diamond ring and a quantity of gold trinkets naa Deen stolen rrom a cabinet, which was all that the burglar had ran sacked.

The burglar who performed this task must have been well up in acrobatic training, for it was quite a feat to climb a veranda support and get over the roof and Into the window of the bedroom. The roof of the veranda protrudes over the top of the post quite a distance and no ordinary second story operator could have made the climb. The police the Fifty first Precinct station were notified and the detectives were put on the case, but this afternoon no clew had been discovered. The police say that the two burglars could easily have been captured If the Kalbfleisch brothers had followed them or had raised an outcry. It appears that they were too badly excited to follow the escap ing burglars closely.

Sergeant Raleigh and the other police officers say that several policemen were in the immediate vicinity and if the two men had run after the burglars and had called after them they would certainly have been captured. The police think that the burglars walked down to Fulton Btreet, probably passing two or three policemen, and caught a trolley car. It was quite early in the evening and the streets were so full of pedestrians that they would have ex cited suspicion had they run. The Kalb fleisches refuse to talk about the burglary. Karl Kalbfleisch remembers that one burglar wore a brown Fedora hat.

This Is the only clew. JUDGE DENOUNCES A TRUST. Says It Tried to Take All of the Assets of a Defunct Firm. Chicago, October 4 In a decision rendered In the United States Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday, Justice Wood severely denounced the so called rubber trust, the United States Rubber Company, for what he termed Its attempt to take all of the assets of the defunct firm of C. H.

Fargo to the disadvantage of scores of other creditors. The case was an appeal of the United States Rubber Company against the American Oak Leather Company und others, the decision of the court being in favor of the latter. The court held that in the distribution of assets of the former boot and shoe company, all creditors but tho United States Rubber Company, L. Candee and the Metropolitan National Bank, shall bo paid In full. If there Is any surplus it is to be divided among those three creditors.

The amount involved is $150,000. These three creditors, according to the court, had used unfair means to secure themselves. VINEYARDS RUINED BY FROST. Farmer, N. October 4 The hard freeze of yesterday morning, followed by a heavy frost this morning, caught many vineyards in the Seneca grape belt left unpicked and thousands of tons of grapes were ruined, being frozen as hard as bullets.

One vineyard, near this village, had 150 tons frozen and other large vineyards suffered In proportion. COMPANY CANNOT WITHDRAW. Tho Appellate Court has affirmed a denial by a Justice of the Supreme Court sitting In Suffolk County of an application by the American Surety Company to be released from the bond of Fannie C. Thurber, as committee of Edmund O. Thurber, an incompetent.

The decision says that there was no dereliction or fault on the part of the committee. The company claimed to have a right to withdraw from the bond under section 812 of the code, but the court cays that this law applies to cases where there was lack of consideration to tho company.

The handsome dressmaking parlors ot Abraham Straus' to day resembled the i drawing room of a society leader during an afternoon reception at the height or tho sens.

in, for there was constantly in attendance a throng of handsomely gowned, representative women, who had come to get an early view of the firm's latest importations' of gowns, waisu wraps and jackets from the leading designers of the French capital. The exhibition opened this morning, and It is indicative of the extent of patronage enjoyed by this department at Abraham Straus that it is not alone confined to well dressed women in this borough, but includes also a large contingent of Manhattan people, who have learned to know and to value the drees making skill and facilities available in this Brooklyn establishment. It was noticeable that the habit back tunics'; skirt has disappeared and in its place the leading model has triple box pleats at. toe back and fits the figure smoothly, but; riot with the sheathlike closeness of the past. season.

A handsome example of this style from Paquln was of pastel blue broadcloth, the front and sides of the skirt being tueketl from hem to waist line in ve tical and resembling cording. The blouse frodt: Jacket also showed vertical tucking and was set off with deep girdle of black satin. em broldered In steel, and a collar of chinchilla fur. The collar effect is a new and strikingly' pretty accessory of some of the handsome ro ceptlon gowns, and one seen here from Raud nitz was or castor toned crepe de chine, beautifully embroidered In darker colored chenille. Hands or mink finished the skirt and were alo combined with lace on the waist and.

slock collar of turquoise blue lent a pleasing contrast of. color. The collar was of point lace and box plaited. A black crepe de chine gown which attracted much attention showed both waist, and skirt in accordloa plaits. The sleeves were or white Venetian over crape, and knots of black velvet extinslvely used formed the trimming.

Near by was a beautiful afternoon gown of silver gray zibeliuc. in princess style, and elab orately embroidered in same color chenille Down the front of the shirt was a panel Irish crochet lace, which was also used girdle effect on the waisi, and deep chenille" fringe was effectively used on the skirt. Bota the costumes were from Callot. Of two handsome tailor suits particularly noii' cd, one was of plum colored cloth, with black pipings and jackel faced with white axtrachau edged with sealskin, and the other dark gray, with a touch of paste! blue in trimming the Jacket and opening over vest of pastel blue, embroidered In black and white The room set apart for the display of ball and evening gowns was a special point of attraction for all the visitors, and the costumes fully deserved the commendatory re marks that were heard about them. One universally admired was of black velvet, with deep flounce effect of itnertiuns of Chantllly lace and jet rod net.

appliqued on white A dainty was of pink and while silk, the skirt having panels of tulle and trimming of pi arl and passementerie. The separate waists, in the dainllest of colorings and combinations, formed an extea sive collection, a model in Venetian lace over green satin, with bolero jacket effect, and soft front oT accordion plaited tulle being especially noticeable. Appeals for a More Aggressive Policy in Work of Evangelization. BOARD MEETS AT PROVIDENCE. Plan for Distribution of Legacies Over a Series of Years Address by Dr.

Behrends. Providence. October 1 Tho annual convention of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, which opened here yesterday, was continued to day. At this forenoon's session the representatives of the committees on the treasurer's department, were presented by its chairman. Luclen C.

Warner, who outlined a plan for the distribution of legacies over a series of years, instead of exhausting them by consuming them in the year in which they are severally received. This committee also rep jrted that the operation of war taxes on legacies had been unfavorable to the missionary societies, as the tax on bequests to the benevolent or charitable Institutions is six and two thirds times greater than that on a legacy tu a child or parent, and recommended that the executive officers of the American Board be instructed to communicate with the oflicers or other co cleties, colleges and benevolent institutions in the country, and in co operation with them, to memorialize Congress for such a modification of the tax on legachs as shall lessen the discrimination against bequests for public benefactions.

James L. Barton. D. was presented. Secretary Barton read the report of the European, Turkey and tho Eastern Turkey missions; Marathi, Madura and Ceylon missions in India, and Japan, Austria, Spain and Mexico.

The report showed that every post brought appeals for larger liberty and a more aggressive policy in the work of evangelization. Among other things Dr. Barton said: "Since the war the missionaries In Spain have traveled freely and have carried on their work as before without the slightest, word or look upon the part of any one that any ill will was entertained; while in some places it has been made most evident that tho people wero especially eager to greet anil honor Americans." Secretary Smith's department was surveyed by himself In substance as follows: "The event of the year in Micronesia is the ending of the Spanish occupation of I'onape and the transfer of the Carolines to the German Kinpire. This undoes, as far as that can be. the events of 1SS7 and which banished the missionaries from ami opens the way to the immediate and energetic re occupation of this island as a station of the board.

"In twenty missions distributed among the great continents and nations and islands as to encircle the globe, and offering the Gospel to more than one hundred million souls, a force of missionaries, assisted by 3.15.5 native laborers in 1,417 strategic points preach the Gospel in twenty six different languages; organized churches have a present membership of of whom have been received on confession This year, and 1,021 Sunday schools gather pupils every Lord's day; IX'. colleges and high schools train H.OSS picked youth of both sexes, and 1.137 common schools provide instruction for 43. 1120 pupils; while mission presses send out their millions of pages to instruct the Christian coir.mun lties and hospitals and dispensaries minister relief to 120, 000 patients, to every one of whom the gospel message is given."
