WPtcott'H Express Company wll! call for and Ciwclc to 'Dolly. Scene of Henry Clay's Reception on the Heights in 1839. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: The demolition of the Hamilton Building, at the comer of Court and Joralemon streets, and the erection of a stately edifice, now nearly complete, on its site, recalls the following account of tha Henry Clay reception, taken from my article on "Historic Receptions" that appeared in the Eagle August 20, 1S86, "Enthusiasm marked the reception of Henry Clay on August 24, 1839. A committee of citizens, consisting of George Hall, B. W.

Davis, William E. Dean, David Leavitt. Mr. Parker, Peter Morton and C. P.

Smith, was appelated to escort Mr. Clay to this city. The streets were thronged long before the appointed hour, 1 o'clock. Wben the barouche, drawn by four horses, arrived on the ferryboat, preceded hy mounted horsemen, the scene became one of tumultuous excitement. It was impossible to proceed a dozen yaTds without having some special mark of honor shown.

Between the Brooklyn Insurance Company and the house of Mr. Toeford, twelve flags hung across the street, with the inscription, 'Henry Clay, welcome in Further on hung cord, the device of a lady. Its presence was a mystery, but as the cord touched the head of the statesman an exquisite wreath fell, which Mr. Clay, catching in his arms, acknowledged by a graceful bow. But a short distance had been traveled when two little girls, the daughters of Mr.

Davis and Mr. Russell, presented two beautiful bouquets in a very pretty manner. Mr. Clay, much affected, rewarded each little donor with an affectionate kiss. "When opposite Henry street a splendid wreath was handed to Mr.

Clay by a little boy, a son of Mr. Cooke. The procession passed on under many banners, with emblems, and at the junction of Main street a grand display of flags hung from a liberty pole. Across the street a waving of handkerchiefs from the windows in the vicinity caused Mr. Clay to again botv.

Proceeding along Willow street, from Cranberry, from the house of Peter Morton, at No. 70, a banner hung, inscribed, Welcome, Henry Clay, liberty and equal rights of Another from the house of David Leavitt, at No. 102, read, 'Welcome, Henry Clay, equal distribution of the public domain." Proceeding up Pierrepont street, from Willow, and down Henry street to Joralemon, the procession continued as far as Court street, when it turned into an open field (where the Hamilton Building now stands). Here Mr. F.

A. Lee, arising in the barouche, said, 'Henry Clay, accept the cheers of the warm hearts that surround you; we can never forget and shall never desert her proudest charm; thrice welcome to Long Mr. Clay made a lengthy reply.

PETTIT. Constitutionality of the War Revenue Act Maintained and Many Cases Disposed Of. The annua! report of the United States District Attorney, George H. Pettit of this district, has just been completed and forwarded to the Attorney General at Washington. A summary of the report shows that the business of the office has of late largely increased owing to the general improvement in business and the passage of the war revenue act which gave rise to many new and intricate questions.

During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900, the number of cases in the United States courts disposed of by the District Attorney's office was Ud, and there are still pending 126 cases. Beside this, the office has had to consider 125 warrants against offenders and conduct 75 hearings before the United States Commissioners. There have been 103 persons held by the commissioners to await the action of the Grand Jury on such examinations, leaving only twenty two cases, which the District Attorney either declined to prosecute or dismissed when the evidence was submitted. The increase of business in this office very clearly appears, when it is considered that during the previous year ending June SO, 1899, the number of criminal cases disposed of in the United States courts was 67, and the number then pending was 101, and the examinations before the United States Commissioners 60. The most important case which has been disposed of during the year in this district Is that of Eben J.

Knowlton and another, as executors, against Collector Moore. In this case the executors contested the constitutionality of the war revenue act and were represented by eminent counsel, including Charles H. Otis, ex Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle, and ex Attorney General OIney, while the government's interests were looked after by District Attorney George H. Pettit and Solicitor General John K. Richards.

On appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States the decision of the lower court in favor of the government was sustained in all essential particulars. This has become a leading case and settled the constitutionality of the law and established a precedent which will guide Congress and the government in all future tax matters A CENTENARIAN VETERAN. John P. Carroll, Over 100 Years Old, Applies for Membership in G. K.

Warren Post. John P. Carroll, who was born in the County Meatb, Ireland, on June 20, 1800, and is consequently over a hundred years old, has made application to G. K. Warren Post No.

2SG, G. A. for membership. He was to have been mustered in at the regular en i campmcnt of the post, hold at its head quarters, Columbia Hall, 1,810 Fnlton street, but the commander, Richard W. L'Hommedleu, explained that because of the extreme heat Mr.

Carroll thought it best to postpone appearance for muster until a later encampment. Veteran Carroll was much over age when he enlisted, but his physical condition, he being strong and hearty, warranted his acceptance. Even at his present advanced age he is remarkably active and well and takes a deep interest in current affairs. Comrade Carroll enlisted as a private in Company C. Seventy first New York Volunteers, on May 15.

1861, being within a few weeks of Gl years old. He was honorably discharged on July 30, 1S64, having served a little over three years. He again enlisted in Company Fifth New York Volunteer Engineers, on August 19. 1S64, and was promoted to sergeant. He was finally discharged June I 13, 1865 HARLEM AND THE BRONX.

Brooklyn; New York Transfer Co. calls for and checka bazcage to destination. Third Ticket Urged by Independents. Talk of Dewey to Head It. At the Plaza Hotel tn Manhattan laet night there was a meeting of men who are opposed both to McKinley and Bryan for President.

At the conclusion of the meeting Thomas M. Osborne, the chairman, said: "We will send a committee to Indianapolis to confer with, the Gold Democrats and the anti lmperlalists. We hope that they will act with usand place a third ticket in nomination. If they decide not to nominate such a ticket, then we will make nominations ourselves and have the ticket placed upon the official ballot by petition. We are opposed to both McKinley and Bryan and feel that we have a right to vote for candidates for the highest gifts within the power of the American people." All of the men present thought Admiral Dewey would make an excellent candidate for President.

The conference was called by a self appointed committee of which John Jay Chapman and Isaac H. Klein were the leaders. Those present were: Dr. William Everett of Boston, General A. G.

Greenwood, Edmund H. Tich iner of Binghamton, Dr. J. H. Emerson, William H.

Riley, Joseph M. Price, William Potts, V. C. King, Edward Carroll, John M. Guettermann, Kenneth G.

J. Chapman, Oswald Gr. Villard, M. D. Rothschild, George C.

Ripley of Minneapolis and Simeon Holroyd. After some discussion the following statement was adopted: "We are met to devise means to place In nomination a third presidential ticket. We take this course because we are at present tween two candidates, for neither of whom can we conscientiously vote. "On the one side is McKinley, who by his weak and vacillating conduct, has Involved this country in a war of conquest in distant islands against a naturally friendly people. His policy of 'benevolent proclaimed months before the treaty purchasing the Philippines passed the Senate, was not only brutal, but unconstitutional.

"We have seen the principles upon which the United States government was founded, and to which it owes every claim to the respect of mankind, disregarded. We hav seen the form of the commercial syndicate arise behind the Executive and control his acts and utterances. "We cannot forget the scandalous appointments which show the debauching of the civil service, the lowering of the standard of the federal judiciary, for both of v. hich the President is directly responsible. "At McKinley's side stands Roosevelt, tha frank embodiment of militarism, eager for the country to shoulder more burdens by foreign conquest.

"The Republican party stands to day for all forms of special privilege. It stands for a tariff under which tho trusts flourish uncontrolled. It stands for a steamship subsidy bill which, if passed, would outdo any previous raid upon the United States Treasury. A vote for McKinley will be counted as a vote for imperialism. "On the other side i3 Bryan, the man who at the crucial moment used his influence to confirm the Paris treaty, and thus furthered the imperialism which he now denounces.

Bryan is a man of hallucinations or a demagogue in either event a dangerous man, lacking the qualities of statesmanship necessary to cope successfully with the difficulties he would Inherit. "A vote for the Democratic ticket means a vote for free silver; it means a still further debauching of the civil service; a nack ing of the Supreme Court by men to be governed by the will of the Executive. "We cannot, therefore, give honest support to either candidate of the great parties. We reject the plan ordinarily suggested of making a choice of evils, as in the long run unwise and ineffectual. We believe that, political action based on ordinary principles of right and wrong is neither useless nor unpractical.

We. therefore, arsk ethers to join with us in the support of candidates, upon some such platform as follows: "First A return to the political doctrines of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. "Second The recognition that not only Cuba and the Philippines, but Porto Rico and Hawaii, are entitled to Independence. "Third Genuine monetary reform. "Fourth Civil service reform.

"Fifth The abolition of special privilege, whether of tariff or any other origin. "We are not concerned solely with this election, but with the future of American political life. We are ready and anxious to join with others In forming a party which shall adopt a platform presenting these issues. "The Republican party has fallen under control of commercial forces, and has for many years been used to make its controllers rich. The Democratic party appeals to tha laborer by the same promise that it will make him rich.

Both parties are now frankly selfish run in the interests of certain classes and individuals. "Bryanism itself is an outcome of forty years 'of Republican rule; for disorganized fanaticism is always the outcome of intelligent protracted, organized corruption. "Meanwhile, every election multiplies the number of voters who become independents by revolt. They are offended by injustice and dishonesty their own party, and wish to rebuke it by voting for the opponent. Experience has shown, however, that such a.

rebuke does not effect a reform In the party abandoned, but merely absolves its opponent from the need of reform. By this process the political power of right minded men has been reduced to the minimum, for their activity has been perpetually negative. By this process our politics has sunk to its present level. The disinterested voter has become a mere onlooker at a degraded game. His chief thought is bow to cast his vote so that it may do the least harm to his country, "The independents among us have been powerless because they have not been independent.

To be effective they must vote for independent candidates, representing positive principles and not mere negative protest." DINNER TO F. A. MC CLOSKEY. I Knights of Columbus Honor Him at I Brighton Beach. A testimonal dinner was given to Francis A.

VANDIVERT'S MELON PARTY Judgo and Mrs. S. W. Vandivert gave a "watermelon soiree" to a select party, on the lawn at their Kenmore place, yesterday evening. The amusements of the evening included guessing at the weight of melon for prizes, and picking out ripe ones, failures being punished for forfeits.

Several greon melons were included in the lot for the purpose of deceiving unsophisticated guessers. The decorations on lawn included green ana rea jacK lanterns made from melons. The refreshments Included waterm Ice cream. Joseph. A.

Pryor Thinks, if Anyone Is to Bo Tried, It Should Be Chief Dobson. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: After three months of absolute silence, the attention of the public is called to the fact that Deputy Chief James Dale will be placed on trial before Commissioner Scannell on charges growing out of the report of the New York Manufacturers' Association in reference to the fire at C. H. Reynolds Son's coal pockets, at Newtown Creek. The committee appointed by the New York Manufacturers' Association reported that Department Chief Dale, Battalion Chief Dobson and other fire officials were guilty of incompetency and inefficiency.

Chief Dobson testified before the committee that if engines had been sent for by a fourth alarm the fire could have been prevented from spreading to the Reynolds coal pockets. The report also says, in substance, that "a serious error of. judgment was committed in not sending a special call or a fourth alarm immediately, owing to the dangerous character of the surroundings." Chief Dobson also stated that "we never protect property that is not on fire." Is the chief correct in this statement, or is it the duty of fire officials to protect surrounding property? It appears to my mind that the chief is not altogether correct in his statement, for I believe that it is a duty only too well defined throughout the department, and which every member, from the lowest to the highest, knows very well. To say "that we never protect property that is not on Are" is to say something which is perfectly absurd on the face of it. If there is anyone to be tried, I believe it should be Chief Dobson, for he has made an honest confession of his failures at this fire, and has manifested culpable neglect.

I believe the public in general will not hesitate to question the sincerity of Commissioner Scannell in placing Chief Dale on trial. The intelligent public believes that there is something more significant in the mind of Commissioner Scannell, which has prompted him to Dlace on trial this veteran fireman. No doubt tho worthy Commissioner would like to place a younger man in control of the fire force of Brooklyn, but if he does, he would do better to come out and ask for the chief's resignation on the ground of physical incompetency. Should Commissioner Scannell determine to place Chief Dale on trial, in spite of the fact that Deputy Fire Commissioner Tully, after a most searching investigation into the management of the Greenpoint fire, exonerated him from all blame, it will be perfectly ludicrous, and inconsistent unless he also concludes to place on trial Chief Dobson and the other officials connected with the Reynolds fire. Mr.

A. T. Docharty, secretary to the fire commissioner, says that Chief Dale will be placed on trial because the Manufacturers' Association has been pressing the charges against him and has insisted upon a trial, but he must not lose sight of the fact that the manufacturers' committee found not only Chief Dale, but also Chief Dobson and others guilty of incompetency and inefficiency in the management of the Reynolds flre, and consequently if any trials are to take place, the guilty ones must stand as the defendants, therefore Chiefs Dale and Dobson should be tried conjointly, if the commissioner wishes to be just and sincere in this undertaikng, and wishes to conform reasonably to the manufacturers' report on the fire. I do not believe that Commissioner Scannell is sincere in placing the chief on trial; the commissioner is anxious to have Chief Dale retire so that he may be able to replace him by a younger man. This is the belief not only of Chief Dale's most intimate friends, but of every one who has closely followed the case.

Why did not Commissioner Scannell place Chief Dale on trial when the charges were made against him and other officials three months ago? Why has he waited several months before deciding to hold the trial. It is regarded as signifir cant that he did not order a trial until the retirement of Chief Dale had been projected. The charges upon which Chief Dale will be tried are those of incompetency and inefficiency In not sending out sufficient fire alarms to protect the surrounding property and also in committing a seriou3 error of judgment in the management of the fire. If he is found guilty he may be either dismissed or fined ten days' pay, the punishment that was meted out to Captain Clifford of New York for a reverse action. Captain Clifford was fined ten days' pay for sending out a third alarm for the Old Dominion Steamship fire, when according to the judgment of the captain there was every danger of the fire spreading and for exercising the rights and privileges which the law in vests in fire officials on such occasions, the captain was fined ten days' riay, notwithstanding the fact that a loss of over $200,000 was caused at this fire, and the captain had been highly commended for his work by the steamship authorities.

It appears to me and to all right minded, intelligent people thnf had the captain failed to send in this third alarm he should have been dismissed from the department. But something Is radically wrong with the one who has been intrusted with government of the Fire Department. The farcical, shortsighted and inconsistent manner in which fines are imposed, not to say anything of the numerous abuses that are heaped upon officials in the name of justice and discipline, calls for a prompt Investigation and rebuke from the intelligent citizens of all boroughs. The latest statistics from the Insurance companies show that during the past few years under the present administration the fire losses In both boroughs have reached far Into the millions, much In excess of previous years. I am not acquainted with any of the Fire officials above mentioned, but am much interested In the government of our glorious municipality and follow keenly the process' of the various city departments.

I give my views purely as a citizen interested in the government of our dty, and judcing from my knowledge of the fire department and from what I have born able to learn from recent events, and from the conduct of fire orlals. I do not hesitate to say that Contain Clifford of New York has proven himself one of the most efficient and capable officers in tho partment. and has the support and well wishes of the best element in the community. As regards the Reynolds vs. Dale case, we are yet to await the oulcome.

ROCKY TJOiTNTAIir DICK. Wife of the Scout Lectures for the Benefit of a Church. Hotz's Hall, at the corner of Liberty avenue and Wyona street, was the scene last evening of a lecture by Mrs. Parr on the life of her husband, Cephas Parr, otherwise called Rocky Mountain Dick. The place was filled and a part of the proceeds will be devoted to the building fund of the Union Church of Christ, at the corner of Linwood street and New Lots road.

Mrs. Parr's lecture was Illustrated with sixty stereoptlcon views. Her husband, dressed in a finely embroidered suit of buckskins and wearing a broad brimmed hat, sat on the platform. Parr claims to have been General Phil Sheridan's chief of scouts during that gallant commander's Indian campaign on the Western border in 18CS 0. Mrs.

Parr told how her husband, an American boy and tho son of an English clergyman at Alton, 111., became a leader in Indian warfare and the most distinguished plainsman of his time. At the age of 12 he entered upon his eventful career as the protege of General Harvey and accompanied him in his campaign against the Sioux In lfia.j. He also served on the staff of Generals Albert Sully. W. S.

Hancock and George A. Custer, in 1856, Parr was captured by the Sioux Indians and was held a prisoner for four years. Having become master of the Sioux languago, he was made post interpreter at Fort Laramie. All these records. Mrs.

Parr told her audience, could bo vouched for by the books of the Treasury and War Departments at Washington. LITERARY DIFFICULTIES. "Sho has been talking about writing a novel for years," said one woman. "Yes," answered tho other. "But I don't think she'll get it completed.

She has followed the plan of those authors who study their personal acquaintances for types of character," "Isn't the method a Rood one?" "Not In her case. When her husband refuses her anything she wants to put him in as the villain, and when he does as she wishes she wants to make him tho hero. It keeps her continually rewriting the first chapter."
