Much to the astonishment of bis friends, John Carman of Glen Cove, who has been missing since Tuesday and who waa supposed to have been drowned during the storm, appeared in the flesh at his homo' on Friday. Carman had a very narrow escape. Ho took a bathhouse whioh he wished to move on his row boat beyond Glen Cove landing and started for Sea Cliff about 8 o'clock on Tuesday The weather was then stormy and a strong gale was blowing bff shore, mak ing it impossible for him to the boat. After being tossed aoout ot ot the winds and waves for a long time and narrowly escaping tho rocks near Exooutioa rock lighthouse, ho was wrecked upon the "shore bear Sands Point.

ITEMS F.BOM FLKSI1IHO. oopy.is forwardoil to the banking department for filing, and a hoonie permit be issuod before the association can logol Iv commence the transaction of business. XJnder this proposed law there would be no restriction upon the style and form of the oertiU cute which provide for tho transaction of business not authorized by law, and there is no provision made for tho tiling of tho articles in the banking department, without whioh it would be impossible for tho superintendent, to be informed of the existenco of such associations for tho purpose of calling upon them for reports without making a search iu the office of tho secretary of stato. There are sovoral minor defects in the bill.

The words "superintendent of tho banking department," iu lines 10, 1 1 and 24 of section 19, line 4 of sei'tion 21 and lino I of section 25, should ho "superintendent of banks," there being now no such officer known to tho law as superintendent of the banking department. Section 21, while providing that examinations should be made at least onco in two years, ought to leave the other examinations discretionary, as they aro now. They may ouly bo undo under this bill when the superintendent from such reports provided for in flu set deems there is cause for the extra examination. It has been my experience in the supervision of these associations that information of unsafe business is as apt to come from other sources as from reports. I believe if this law were properly drawn nnd made as an amendment to tho present banking law.

which it easily might be, its would he an improvement on the present law governing the organization and supervision of such associations. This might easily be done by providing that sections 1 to 19 of tho act as drawn be'substiiuted tor articles 5 and 0 of the present law. nnd by making tho change with reference to the proper designation of tho official head of tho banking department, the remaining neotimis of the proposed law being in the nature of regulations as to supervision, transaction, which' are already provided for by the general provisions of the existing banking law. So dravn it. would meet with my hearty approval.

BOATJiEU'S PLAN TO COMPEL A QUORUM. He U'oiiJd Declare Member in Con. tempt Who ISctfuwo to Vole.

Washington, D. April 14 Representative Boatner of Louisiana, who hns been nbsont from the city with the Jenkins investigating commltteo, did not reach here in time to attend the Democratic caucus held yesterday. On learning of the action taken he expressed great regret that he had not beon able to attend. He had, in fact, contemplated offering, at the first opportunity, a rule which he believed would obviate the necessity of counting a quorum and nt the same time effectually prevent filibustering without resorting to the undignified method ot fining members. "Under the rule that I would offer," said Mr.

Boatner, "any member of the house who, being present, refused to vote, not having, of oourse, a pecuniary interest in the legislation under consideration, would be deolared in contempt. This would deprive him of the right to make a motion, to object, or, in' fact, to be recognized by the chair. I would have him remain in contempt until the house saw fit by vote to remove his disability. It is not a difficult thing to oom pel the attendance of members. The rules, if enforoedj already provide for that.

"Under this rule filibustering would be impossible after a single attempt had been made. The minority might leavo a man or two in good standing to make motions, bat they could not. leave enough to call tor the ayes and nayes or conduct other obstructive tactics. The members who went voluntarily intooontempt would be thon under the control of the house, which would remove the disability when and in whatever manner it saw fit. "The fact is," continued Boatner, "there are two classes of members, who do not want any sort of a rule that will prevent filibustering.

One class is made up of men who like to be members of opngress as a. sort of a sideshow. They like to spend a few days a week here and then back to New York. Philadelphia or somewhere and coiiduot their law practice or whatever their business is. Incidentally, they like to have the sergeant at arms send them S41G a month.

"The other class is made up of men who gain their entire reputation by obstruction. Men who nover formulate anything or do anything, but who gain prominence by getting in the way. These men want the house to remain In a position where a single member can paralyze it in a moment. "The right of tho speaker to rule out motions as dilatory ought to bo recognized in the rules of the house. This rule ought to havo been continued.

It is a right that should belong to every presiding officer by virtue of his office. When you take it away from a deliberative body that body becomes a mob at the mercy of one or two men, or a small minority. Without it tho previous quostion. which the house Is "supposed to have, but really has not in any active sense, Decoinos inoperative and useless. Itrpresentative Boatner will attempt to havo his rule considered by tho committee before It makes a report.

The eity authorities will comply with ta terms of the federal government id respeot to the Wallabout lands, and hand over in one pay meat the purchase price of To "do this they will have to defer soma much needed improvements in Brooklyn. In their opinion, however', tho acquisition of these market lands is of vastly more' importance than a large part of the publio work projected and to be done with the proceeds of bond issues.

Aside fro'm tho tnateriai benefits to. the city arto ing from the acquisition of the land, the aa thorlties must.seo how necessary it is. for them to, meet tbe requirements' of the federal government especially just at this 1 time; No more serious blow to the present local dminlstratloa or to 'the credit of Brooklyn could be dealt thak would he the failure of the city to secure possession of these lands. While the Boody administration. may be bold" responsible for the' existing situation; Mayor Schlorea and his associates in the government' ee very plainly that they cannot afford to allow th thing to go by default.

Failureinow would be construed as absolute inability on' the part of the city to meet its obligations. As! a matter of fact lib such inability exists.

The proposad 'investigation of city affairs, is still a matter of talk.

It, hs. never been anything else. When the aldermen ordered the appointment of a special committee it was. given out that tho committee w.ould. begin work at once, and interesting revelations 'wpre.

Hp said bo again, yesterday afternoon, when he, asserted that it would hold a meeting someday this, week. alderman intimated that the committee had received information, touching the doings of pertain departments, which would het.mado the. subject, of inquiry.

The other investigating committee, the one appointed tot investigate the charges, made in by Noah i. Coeheu. president of the State Electric and Power company. Is equally inactive. Mr.

Coeheu told the mayor that the only charges he had over made wore that the Dciard of aldermen was composed of hoaprablernen, but, 'in' view of the way the board had treated him he thought it. might be difficult to proye those charges. Subsequently he addressed alet ter to tho aldermen denying that he had made any charges against his letter to the investigating; committee and that was the lost heard; of the matter.

The Republicans should havo a patronage committee whieh should have full control and through which all applications for places should made. That was the way the Democrats did the thing under tho Boody administration. As it is now, oaeh ward is at work on its own hook, and the mayor is fairly overrun the bone hunters.

Rose hurried to the station; out too late to intercept the runaway couplo. Upon inquiry he found, however, that his wife's trunk had been left behind through some error of the station agent. Hereupon 'he had it taken back to his bouse.

Upon investigation it was found that tho wife bad packed 'all her clothes and trinkets in the trunk. Mrs. Rose hid told the servant, that she was going to Brooklyn to help make' a dress for her sister. Mrs. Rose is an attractive brunette 28 years pf age.

Several years ago he held an important position in one of the departments of a surface road in New York city, and while in that position confiscated the funds for whioh he was tried and sentenced to the Elmira reformatory for. years. Ho was released about a year ago and since that time he has followed the bay.

When Willetts camo to Rose's household matters became anything but pleasant. Stories began to circulate, nnd thn couple's actions in publio ware soundly scored. Last week Willetts and Mrs. Rose hired a carriage and started for Sayvillo where they stayed over nlghr. Rose went after, his wife and brought her back the next day.

Mr. Rose says he will not follow his wife and. if she wants to go ho is willing to let her stay. Rose is a prominent bayman and oyster planter and has always been an attentive husband. He has the sympathy of the community.

The rest ot the company Is very bad.

The second edition of "Don Juan," at ths Gaiety theater, was grseted with rapturous ap? plaus yesterday evening. "Don Juan" has beon largely rewritten and the burlesque of certain music ball living pictures, one of the features of the now "Don Juan," is a great suc ooss. The "Mystery" or oratorio ot "Bethlehem" of Professor Alexander Campboll Mackenzie, principal of the Royal Academy of Music, onco intended for the world fair at Chlcugo, was performed for the first time, on Thursday evening, at Albert hall. The soloists were Mmes. Ella Russell nnd Marian McKenzie and Messrs.

David Bispham, Arthur Barlow and Barton McGuokin. The scholarly work was well receivod. Mr. George Alexander has flxad April 28 for tho production of the new four act play by Henry Arthur Jones, which is to succeed "The Second Mrs, Tanqueray" at the St. Jams theater.

The principal dramatis persona) are: David Remon, Mr. George Alexander; Sir Briee Skeono, Mr. Herbert Waring; Montagu Lush ington, Mr. W. G.

The part played by Mrs. Patrick Campbell is said to be that of a barmaid.

Mr. Solomon J. Solomon is sending to the. Academy this year a portrait of Mrs. Campbell as Paula Tanqueray.

The actress is pictured sitting at an escritoire, with despair and desperation written on Dor face. She has completely realized the Impossibility of her position aud has resolved to put an end to her life. The gleam of the footlights fall upon her powerful, sot fase, thrown into strong relief by the Louis XV screen bohind her chair. She is dressed in white satin and lace, relieved only by pale green bands across the shoulders. Miss Florence Farr is oast for the part of a servant named Louka, and mostot the company engaged for "A Comedy of Sighs," including, Messrs.

Bernard Gould, James Welch and York Stephens, are retained. The heroine will bo played by Miss Alma Murray. The new play, for which a title has not yet been found, 'is three acts, one of the scenes being exterior aad the other two interiors. Whether the subtleties of 'Widowers' Houses," produced by the Independent Theater ooiety, were too nice to be appreciated by the ordinary play goer or whether the play was mrely a weighty joke perpetrated by Mr. Shaw on the publio still remains a subject of conjecture.

For two reasons its production will not readily be forgotten it gave rise to tho now amons speech delivered by the author to a run ning commentary on the part of irreverent "gods." and also brought to the fore that clever comedy actor, Mr. James Welch.

egislature. Bpeaker Malby Wields a Giivcl Like Czar Reed nnd the Minority Loo Tlielr Temper In a Most Amusing Way The right for liulldlng and Loan Associations. Special to tho Eagle. Amant, April 14 Under high pressuro tho closing days of the legislature are being passed. Party feeling is strong, the majority, somewhat haughty in their overwhelming majority, excite bitter foelincs in tho breams of tho hopelera minority.

Tho fire is smouldering all the timo and it takos but the mildest puff of excitement to set the tinder in a blaze. The scene on the floor of the house Thursday is recorded one of the most stormy in the history of the legislature of New York. Certainly it is to be hoped that there has been nothing worse in the dim and distant past, audit is also to be hoped that there will be nothing like it ag.tinin the present session Much of what comes up in the cour. ie of debate arid many of the tir.y fires which nre allowed to grow to a large flame nre directly duo to the handling of matters by tho snoakor. Ho can often pour oil on the troubled waters or ho can stir up the elements until there i a howling riot Vnderway.

The big row of Thursday was certainly due to tho inadvertence Asiemiily man O'Grady. who had the chair temporarily. He sot rattled and all the row camo out. It is not likely that the tight would have grown to such proportions had Spoaker Malby held the gavel, but when ho did assume it he did nothins to ease matters up. Speaker Malby is a man who can be very just and tactful if ho desires to bo bo.

On the other hand, ho has shown an ability in the way of Czar Rcedism which might surprise that individual if ho coul attend the sessions of the New York assembly. There seems to bo no medium eouxHe for the present speaker of the lower house. He is perhaps too fond of waving the party lash and ho is inclined to show tho whip when another man might conceal the weapon for later or more exigent use. There was one rather humorous incident which came oat of this Thursday storm, and that was the free advertising of the fact that Sertreaut at Arms Manvillo. who is paid 8 a day.

including Sundays and holidays, is absent three days out of the week and is engaged in sailing a steamboat up and down tho river whilo he is supposed to be performing the duties for which ho is paid by the state. The only reason that hois ever in tho assembly is that the steamboat runs at night. and consequently when she is at the Albany end of tho route Manville has leisure to show himself in tho assembly chamber. As his boat leaves Albany on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights he is at the disposal of the state on Wednesday and Friday mornings, and if there is an afternoon session on tho afternoons also of those two days. He has to work on his private job Monday night, and BR thero is no day session on that day of the week he is generally missing.

So for the payment of $42 a week the great state of New York commands the services of a sergeant at arms just two days, provided there is nothing to keep him after timo on those nights from getting his steamboat. Whonjthe speaker called upon the sergeant at arms to preserve order on Thursday several members who were insubordinate cried out: "You have no sergeant at arms here. Ho is on the river. We won't recognize any other man," and in most casos tho trembling substitute who acts for Manville. also under the pay of the stato, did not dare to exercise tho authority which the speaker called for and he had to wait until the momber was willing of his own accord to obey the speaker.

A prominent Bepnbllcau, who spoke to the Eagle correspondent of the incidont afterward, said: I workod hard for Manville at the beginning of this session, but he will not receive my support again so long as I am in the house. There are enough worthy Republicans who are in need of this position, who have' families depending upon them, and who have not a single job support them, while this man sails up and down the rivor as captain of one of the largest steamboats on it, and beside taking money from the Btate as sergeant at arms of tho assembly. This position is ono which is important. The members do not feel like appointing one man to the place and then have a subordinate pushing and shoving them about. It is all right for ths members to endure it from the man who is choice, but not for some assistant hireling to do the business." Sonator Bradley often has a quaint way of saying things.

His use of old saws and his catchy application of an old story often bring a laugh, if not conviction, to his opponents. He was talking to tho Eaole correspondent yesterday about a bill which has on its face all the appearance of being what is called, in legislative parlance, a strike, or. in other words, a bill which is introduced injuring some corporation or community of interests which are more than likely to settle with the introducers of the bill for its killing thannot. Senator Bradloy said: "This bill reminds me of the Irishman who had a package sent to him marked C. O.D.

His friend asked him if he know what the lettors meaut. Pat replied: "Sure and I know what 0. O. D. manes.

It manes 'Come ommodiately 'That is the meaning of this bill," added the senator, and the correspondent on knowledge and belief would swear he was right. It was indeed a case of "come ommediately down," and tt is that now. The fight whioh Assemblyman Taylor has made on behalf of the local building and loan "associations during the present session has been a markedly success ul one. It is by no means done yet. however, and may not for all the time of the session.

The Eaolb has chronicled faithfully the progress of tho looal association bill in its course through both branches of tho legislature and of its final passage by the assembly alter one or tne naruoat contests trom a point of dobate in which any Kings county member has engaged during tne year. Mr. Taylor at all times, be it said, ably seconded by Mr. Heunossy on the other side of tho political fence, has fought the big lobby and the mighty influence of the national mortgago associations and has won out handsomely. The bill now awaits tho signature of the governor.

To prevent the chief executive from signing this bill every influence is being brought to bear by the immense interests involved in the fight for the exterminiation of the looal associations. The banking department is against the bill and during ihe week Superintendent Preston sent tho following to the governor: State op New Yokk, Bankixo Depabtmext,) Axjjant, N. April 15, 1 Memoranda in re Senate bill, printed number 825. entitled. "An act providing for the formation, management and supervision of co operative savings and loan associations." Jioaicell F.

Flower. Governor Senate bill, printed number 3135, entitled "An act providing for the formation, management and supervision of oo operativo savings and loan associations." is a bill which provides tor the organization of what is known as landing and loan associations which have been heretofore and until the passage of the Banking law organized under Chapter 123 of the Laws of 1851 and its amendinents.and chapter 556 of tho laws of 1887, and since the passage of tho banking law in 1802 under the provisions of articles and VI of said law. The bill is faulty in that it, instead of amending the banking law so as to Incorporate in it the changes which are deemed desirable, makes an entirely uow law, repealing articles and VI of tho banking law. The banking law was intended to provide for the organization and supervision of all moneyed corporations except insurance companies, including organizations such as are provided for iu this proposed law, while articles and VI are particularly devoted to special provisions in reiorence to such associations. Iu 1800 the legislature urged to such action by the same associations interests that seek the enactment of this law, parsed Chapter 140 of the laws of 1800.

providing for the exclusion from the transaction of business in tins stato of building and loan associations organized in other states, except they should tirst puss a satisfactory examination at tho hands of an examiner appointed by the uperintendent of bankn mJ make a deposit with suen officer oi sum.ooo in trust, etc. The provisions of that law iti tho revision of 1892. referring to moneyed corporations, and their re enactment in the banking law were continued section 2. seventh sub division, section 14 and section 31. This proposed law makes no ruferenco to tho sections of tho banking law relating to the organization nnd supervision of suoh associations outside of articles and VI and it is probable that if enacted it would act as a repeal of such provisions and loavo the law with no restrictions upon the entering into this Ptate for the transaction of business of foreign building and loan associations.

If this is rffected would be, in my opinion, very inexpedient legislation. Section 3 of the proposed law makes no provision for the tiling in die banking 'fiart merit of copios ot'the organization, certmeatos or articles of association of associations organized under it. The law as at present requires that thecertificate shall be first approve'! by tho superintendent of banks before it can bo fiied in the office of tho county olork, and after it is so filed a certified The grand lodge of the colored Knights of Pythias of this state, will hold its fifth.ann'ual convention in Flushing next Monday.

At drugstores.or write B.F.Allen Canal New York. On Friday a legislative delegation consisting of Senators Guy and Ahearn and Assemblymen Sulzer, Hennessey and Keenan, called upon the governor and advocated the side of the home building and loan associations. It is more than likely that the chief executive will see it to the interest of the pooplo of the commonwealth to sign the measure and allow it to become a law. This oil', according to Mr. Taylor, is regarded by all factions of tho local associations to bo a perfect measure.

It is a combination of the bills which have been advocated separately before the logislature for fiyo or six years by the state league and" the metropolitan league, pulling in different directions. Now they are pulling together against the common enemy. The present number of sopnrato investors, nearly all small ones, now having money tied up in these local associatians, is in excess of 200,000, and tho total capital throughout the state is above $20,000,000 which represents the life savings of the frugal individuals who have sought to make homes or to invest their hoardings in this my. The Brooklyn interest in thi3 bill is very lar3e, as the center of this kind of savings in the state is the City of Churches. C.

Some time ago a similar action was tried in circuit resulting in a verdict for the defendant. 3Ir.
