8 THE BROOKLYN DAILY KE YORK, MONDAY, AUGUST 26, 1901. AMERICA IN THE STORM. POLES READY FOR BATTLE QUEENS VITAL STATISTICS. TO ENLARGE PORT II SERIOUS SPLIT III THE ST. ROSALIE'S PLIGHT OF FORT HAMILTON FOR LACK OF SEINERS.

Residents There Think That It Is the Dirtiest Section of the Borough. COMPLAINTS ARE UNHEEDED. Streets Are Flooded When It Garbage Lies in the Sun. Ens and Fort Hamilton is both sewerless and flltlf y. uu Ul VUG nuu VlOtLCU uw.

place yesterday, it is without a doubt one of the dirtiest sections to be found anywhere in the borough. The heavy rain of the afternoon Interfered somewhat with the trip in that it prevented the obnoxious amell from rising up in all its strength, but nevertheless it could be easily detected in many of the streets. The condition of Fort Hamilton is not caused solely by the presence of numerous piles of garbage, but by tho absence of a proper system of sewerage, paving and grading. According to present plans there will be nothing doing in the niattor of Improvements for five or six years. Although the hundreds of complaints that must certainly be on file in the office of the Board of Health of this borough have been rcade by private citizens and property owners, there are some that can be said as coming from the officers of the Fifth Artillery, who have suffered for five years past from the same nuisances which, during that time, have been added to by the many new buildings that have been erected in that vicinity during tho above named period.

An attempt Was made to get Over to tho nmrom' mini torn on the government grounds yesterday by way of Fort Hamilton avenue and Ninety ninth street, but trafile was impossible, owing to the large volumes of water that was swept through Ninety ninth street to Fort Hamil toln avenue and across the last named thoroughfare to the reservation, where it swept everything before It and rushed across the parade ground in the rear of the post heart quarters. Fort Hamilton avenue, from Nine t5 eighth street to within a short distance of the home of Colonel John Rodgers at the head of One Hundredth street, was entirely covered with water, which rushed over the curb and sidewalks and flowed into the front yards of the officers' quarters. The unsanitary conditions that prevail and the presence of much garbage is the chief i matter to be considered, the residents declare, and they have about given up all hope, 1 of ever being able to get any relief. In the vicinity of Fort Hamilton avenue and Ninety afventh street, a few feet from what was intended for a sidewalk, there was a large pile of garbage. At Ninety fifth street and 'i ort Hamitlon avenue there is another pllo of refuse.

When Boated by Police One Wounded Man Taken to the Hospital. Elmhurst, L. August 26 A riot took place about 2 o'clock this morning on Grand street, near Maspeth, among a crowd of Poles gorgeously uniformed, belonging to a Polish society of Newtown Heights, who were re turning rom a picnic, and in the melee one of the members, F. Anuskuck, was fatally Injured. During the walk home from the park, where the picnic was held, several of the men got into an altercation, among them being Gus tav Wasniskl and his brother Frank of Maspeth.

AH of the men, in addition to their red and yellow uniforms, had huge cavalry sabers strapped to their sides and In the midst of the fight, Anuskuck says that both Frank and Gustav Wasniskl drew their swords and struck him on the head. Others beside Anuskuck were injured and for a time it seemed as if a miniature war would take place. Some one telephoned to the Newtown po lice station and the reserves were sent to the scene of trouble. When the officers arrived there they found the rival companies of Poles drawn up on sides with their sabers ready for a charge. After routing the crowd the officers arrested the Wasniskl brothers and brought them to the Newtown police station where they are held on the charge of felonious assault.

The injured man. after identi fying his ssailants, was taken to St. John's Hospital, Long Island City, where the doctors said his skull is fractured and he may not recover. MISHAP TO THE SCRIBNER. Her Skipper Towed His Wife All Night in the Dingy, Thinking tne Schooner Would Founder.

Good Ground, L. August 26 A large congregation, comprising all the Catholics of the surrounding summer resorts, as well as many not of that faith, assembled yesterday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, to assist at the laying of the corner stone of the new Catholic Church of St. Rosalie, the ground for which was broken on Sunday, July 21. For the past two years mass had been said in a building on the beautiful Rose Crest estate of Judge Morgan J. O'Brien by the Rev.

W. S. Reilly, who had been assigned by Bishop Charles E. McDonnell to the duty of ministering to the Catholic summer colony of this section. Last summer the Catholics had increased to such numbers that It was clear a church or chapel would have to be provided soon, and this year the congregation was so large that Father Reilly found It necessary to say mass and preach In the village hall, while under the direction of the bishop he took immediate steps to build a church.

He selected a site in the heart of the vil lage, near the depot, and the ground was presented 'by Judge Morgan J. O'Brien. Plans for the church were designed by his brother, Morgan M. O'Brien, the architect, and yesterday Contractor Frederick E. Penr.y had the foundations so far advanced that Bishop McDonnell was invited to bless the corner Btoire and place It in position.

He arrived here on the noon train with Mgr. P. J. Mc Namara, the vicar general of the diocese Mgr. J.

I. Barrett, his secretary, the Rev. Matthew J. Flyhn of the Church of Our JUaay of Angels, Brooklyn, and the Rev. James Coan.

The bishop and clergy, after examining tne cnurca site and its surroundings, were entertained, at dinner at the country home of Judge Morgan J. O'Brien. The ceremony of lavlne the corner stone began at 4 o'clock, when Bishop McDonnell, In cope and mitre and carrying his crozier and preceded by the crucifer, acolytes and clergy, approached the southwest corner of the foundations, where the corner stone rested on a platform ready to be placed in position. After the appropriate prayers, the bishop blessed the stone, marking each of ita races with tne sign of the cross with a sliver trowel, and it was lifted into its position on the wall. The bishop then proceeded around the walls of the church and blessed tnem, after which the Rev.

Father M. J. Flynn preached the sermon of the dav on the history of the Catholic Church, taking for his text the words of Christ addressed to the apostles: "Going, therefore, teach all nations whatsoever I have commanded you." The preacher called attention to the in junction Christ gave his apostles to teach all peoples whatsoever he had commanded them, not what their private Judgment should dictate or which any one else had told them. out only the things he had commanded them. showing that God would not tolerate the in troduc'tion of human opinion in the preaching of the apostles and their successors.

When Christ spoke those words the state of the world and society was most deplorable and people committed sin and even worshiped sin because they knew no better. He came to establish a religion that would take tne people out of the sink of iniquity and teach them the truth and elve them hone for the future, and what the apostles taught by command of Unrist Is what the Catholic Church to day teaches. Father Flynn closed by paying a high compliment to the benefactors of the new church. The music for the ceremonies was furnished by Charles C. Dunne, organist of the Church of the Transfiguration, New York, who presided at the organ, and a quartet choir, composed of Mrs.

John T. Brennan, soprano; Mrs. D. A. McLoughlin, contralto; John T.

Brennan and John Muldoon, tenors, and H. L. Bridges, baritone. The selections rendered were Arkadelt's "Ave Maria," Gounod's "Ave Verum." "The Palms," which was sung by Mr. Muldoon, and the Te Deum, in which the choir led the congregation at the close of the ceremonies.

The original Intention was to place the church under the patronage of St. Joseph, hut yesterday Bishop McDonnell gave permission to change the name to that of St. Rosalie, as a compliment to Mrs Morgan J. O'Brien, whose husband donated the site of the church. The edifice will be 60x25 feet and it will be ready for dedication early next summer.

and Mrs. Leopold Cooper of Sackman street and Sutter avenue, fell from the third story window of his parents' residence this morning and was killed. Mrs. Cooper left little Leo playing with the three older children while she went down stairs. She met a number of people carrying the dead body of the boy Into the house and swooned away.

Dr. Meagher of St. Mary's Hospital, who was summoned, revived her with considerable difficulty. The child's skull was fractured by the fall and in the opinion of the doctor death had been Instantaneous. A COMPOSITE STYLE.

"She has built a house on the Hudson and painted it gray and red. I wish you could see it." "Why, the architect told me it was to be tho Elizabethan style."

Brooklyn Life. The Followers of Each Demand the Borough Presidency for Their Leader. FIRST WARD FOR THE PRIMACY.

This May Result In a Combination Between Other Sections of the Borough. (Special to the Eagle.) Flushing, L. August 26 It is currently reported about here that there is not the harmony necessary for success in the Cassidy Sutphin wing of the Democratic organization. One of the outcroppings, it is said, is an al leged statement made by Frank R. Clair that he was for John H.

Sutphin for borough president, and for no one else. It is further said that fJiirrnMip Daniel Noble, when asked why he had come out for the Cassidy Sut phln combine, said significantly that he was not for anv combine but that he was for Joseph Cassidy. It Is said that the persistent assertions by Harry Sutphin that his father is the only available candidate for borough president has somewhat alarmed Cassidy and his friends, who will listen to no other candidate than the Councilman for borough president. In the words of a prominent Democrat, "It now looks like Long Island City against the field. A combination between all the fac tiosn in that ward is likely to be the result in case of a split between Cassidy and Sutphin, and that might bring about a new deal all around." At the organization meeting of the First Ward General Democratic Committee comprising the Madden leaders a resolution was passed declaring that the club would under no consideration support any one but a Long Island City candidate for borough president in the borough convention and the followers of Cassidy make the same statement.

This may result in a combination in the other wards of the borough for their own interests. It is now said tiat Chairman Cassldy's defeat at the last meeting of the Queens Coun ty Democratic County Committee was owing to his impolitic treatment of Justice T. C. Kadieu, a member of the same committee, in I rerusing to support an unimportant motion made by the latter in reference to future party conventions. As a result the chairman is now in a minority.

There was a gathering of all the leaders Borough President Frederick Bowley, Borough Leader Charles C. Wissell, Second Ward Leader James Brien. Third Ward Leader Patrick J. Mara and Fifth Ward Leader Philip I. Cronin, the latter three members of the County Committee at Borough Hall this morning.

The meeting of the County Committee, to be held this evening to fix the number of delegates to the different conventions, the unit of representation, ward or Assembly district, and the dates of the conventions is likely to result in a lively contest. Though the sub committee appointed at the last meeting was instructed to report a plan of representation by wards this will probably be strenuously fought by the Cassidy faction.

IN THE LUMBER TRUST. Amityville, L. August 26 The Suffolk County Mill and Lumber Company has acquired the land and buildings occupied for lumber and coal yard purposes by the Charles Wood estate. The property is located at Broadway and Lumber street. C.

J. Wood, one of the directore, will continue to manage ths busfnes. In the rear of St. John's Protestant Episcopal Church, on Ninety ninth street, near ort Hamilton avenue, it is said, is a large cesspool, into which the refuse from many houses empty. The smell is terrible and it has been borne for the past six years.

Complaint upon complaint has been filed with the Board of Health, but the matter has been ignored. Fourth avenue is probably twenty five feet higher than Fort Hamilton avenue and the refuse and sewerage from those buildings fronting on the cast side of fourth avenue is swept down through the rear yards and into the pond or cess pool In ref xr of the church On the southwest side of Ninety ninth street from a point near the corner of Fourth avenue to Fort Hamilton avenue, Is a vacant lot and Into that lot uant" ly of refuse from the houses In Fourth avenue is thrown. The city has announced to the residents Ridse and Fort Hamilton that they will have a proper system of sewerage In thorough working order In about three years' time. This news is not relished by the sl dents, as they feel that if they are compelled to wait three years for relief, they will not lie In condition, as regards health, to realize that something has really been done. The citizens' Association of Bay Ridge has been organized for fifteen years and at every one of Its meetings since the first one the subject concerning sewers has been freely discussed.

Nothing has ever come of it, however, and that fact is given as the main reason why that section of the borough has not received the attention of men who were aout to invest their money. STATEN ISLAND. There Is said to be a dispute among the conferees from the Citizens' Union and Republican parties, who are making up a union borough ticket against Tammany, over the action taken at a special meeting of the Republican County Committee last week, by which tho Republican League of iuenmona Borough, a strong faction of the party, was turned down in its proposals for peace and was refused admission to the County Committee. Whether the break will be serious enough to endanger the fusion ticket this fall will not be known before to morrow night, when the Citizens' Union representatives will make a last effort to bring together the two factions. If peace Is not secured, it is the general opinion that' two separate tickets will be nominated, aa the warring Republicans will not consent to act together.

The trouble is caused by the provision of the primary election law, which allows election delegates by Assembly districts, instead of by separate Assembly districts. This has been in vogue for the past three years and the regular Republicans won each time and their whole ticket was elected, although the league carried a large number of election districts. They were thus shut out of all participation in party matters. At the meeting of tho General Committee James G. Timolat, the Assembly district leader, announced that the league had delivered its ultimatum, which was that the election district plan of holding primaries would have to be adopted or the league must bo given a representation of thirty six members in the General Committee, based on their vote cast at the last primaries.

The committee decided that it was too late to change the bylaws to conform with the election district plan this year and, after a stormy, meeting, refused to give up any seats to the league. The suggestion was made that the committee show its good faith by making a move toward getting election district primaries In 1902, but the plea was made by the rock ribbed organization men that the meeting was a special one and no such business could be brought up at it. By those who know it is said that the plan never will be put through. Meanwhile, the Citizens' Union leaders are greatly worried, as they fear their plans for a united front against Tammany will come to naught. The leaguers are known to oppose unalterably any settlement other than election district elections or a representation in the County Committee.

The new sneedwav on the south shore boulevard was finished on Saturday and yesterday a large 'crowd of drivers was outi testing it. Saturday afternoon's rain had roughened it up a hit, but the general opinion seemed to be that it is as fine a stretch for speeding as can be found around New York. It has the merit of beine very level. the grades in It being inconsequential. It will be formally opened on September 24 by a parade, under the auspices of the Staten Island Driving Club.

James G. Timolat, the Republican Assembly district leader, has been elected treasurer of the New York City committee to succeed the late Hugh McRoberts. Yesterday was one of the biggest days that Staten Island's beaches have seen this summer. The Staten Island Ferry had to run extra trips to accommodate the crowds from Manhattan and the ferries to New Jersey, at Bergen Point and Ellzabethnort, were also crowded. Tjie Midland and Beaten Island electric lines created BMK watgg records.
