The ushers were Hiram A. Baylis. Lewis B. Smith and Edward Conklin this place Charles Kissam of Brooklyn. The church was beautifully decorated for the occasion and the bridal party stood under a floral arch when the ceremony was performed.

A wedding breakfast and reception at the home of the bride's parents followed the ceremony. The gifts to the bride were displayed. They were numerous and valuable. Mr. and Mrs.

Stoyle left town In the afternoon on an extended wedding trip. They will be at home after November 5. at their residence. Prospect street, this village. The guests numbered 200 and were from Brooklyn, Manhattan and a large number of the island villages.

HAKTEL SETTBERT. College Point, L. September 19 Miss Anne Seubert was married on Tuesday morning to John Hartel in St. Fidelia' Church. The Rev.

Father Schumack cele; brated the nuptial mass. The bridesmaids were Miss Lena Seubert, sister of the bride, and Miss Mamie Stack, and John Seubert and Jacob Johann acted as best men. After the ceremony, which was witnessed by a number of friends and relatives of the young couple, a reception was held at the home of the bride's mother, on Eleventh street. Official Figures Show That Cas sidy Has Beaten the Regular Organization. CR0KER TO RECOGNIZE HIM.

Newtown Was the Center of Interest and There Cassidy Won Four of the Five Committeemen. (Special to the Eagle.) Long Island City, L. September 19 Even with the use of the Tammany jokers in the Second Ward the result of the Queens Borough primaries remains practically unchanged from that reported in yesterday's Eagle, and it is said here to day that after a recount and seeing that his friends were hopelessly defeated, Richard Croker authorized the statement that he would recognize any leader lawfully elected for the Borough of Queens. This will make Cassldy's victory complete. The official count, completed at noon to day at the Board of Elections, shows the following figures: Ward.

Cassidy. vYlssel. First Ward, Long Island City 2,295 2,198 Second Ward, Newtown 1,565 1,560 Third Ward. Flushing 6S2 1,253 Fourth Ward. Jamaica 1,151 Firth Ward.

Rockaway 197 387 The Second Ward figures do not include two missing districts which are admittedly for Cassidy and this will give Cassidy four out of the five committeemen of that ward. The political leaders in the Borough of Queens active in Tuesday's battle at the primary are now busier than ever trying to straighten out the tangle following the canvass of the vote and making certain that their small margins of majority are not disturbed by a re count or application to the courts. The situation at present is very much in doubt in at least the Second Ward, and there promises to arise a fight that will eclipse the one at the ballot boxes last Tuesday. In the first place the majorities against Tammany Hall are so small that there is a belief in the minds of Mr. Croker's friends that the result may yet be changed.

It is reported in political circles that word has come across the East River that the Tammany ticket must win at all' hazards. It is known that considerable Tammany money was used' in the primary fight and it was to be expected that they would not stop fighting with a count of the vote. The Cassidy men are not losing any time. It is known that they have been at work night and day since the result was announced and there Is a certain air of confidence about their expressions that indicates preparations to meet any move Tammany may make. Just at present Newtown is the center of interest.

It has developed there that a third ticket, now known as the "Tammany joker," received just enough votes to upset the general result. It was supposed Tuesday night that Cassidy and his forces had carried the First, Second and Third Wards, and that he practisally stood master of the entire situation; but changes have come about, and they are due to. the Tammany joker in the Second Ward. That ticket had one of Cassldy's candidate's for county committeemen at its head, and among the other names were those of five Cassidy candidates for delegates to the borough convention. Before the trick was discovered about sixty of these tickets had been voted.

Farmer Supervisor Joseph Ber mel headed the Cassidy ticket in Newtown and it received 3,557 votes, against 1,534 for the ticket headed by Deputy Commissioner of Street Cleaning James F. O'Brien. On the ticket jivith O'Brien was Deputy Commissioner of Itighways Charles C. Wissel, the. Tammany lefder in.

Queens. The Tammany joker defeated both of them for members of the County Committee, and also defeated Bermel, who has elected Joseph Meyer rose and Frank Monteverde, two Cassidy Bermel candidates for the County Committee, and George Wallace, Martin Majer, and James F. McCarthy, three O'Brien candidates, for membership in the County Committee. The joker ticket wiped out Bermel's majority of 23 over O'Brien and elected all the O'Brien delegates to the several conventions except the five Cassidy delegates to the borough convention, put on the ticket for a blind. It also elected the O'Brien ward committee.

Bermel's personal defeat was due Van Low. Wyck. 77,210 1M.66S 65,656 76,135 5,875 9.27S 2.798 Tracy. Manhattan and Bronx. 55, S34 Brooklyn 37,611 Queens 5.649 Hichmond 2.779 Total ...101.873 151,510 233,997 Mr.

Low's Election to Presidency of Columbia College. Mr. Low married, December 9, 1SS0, Miss Annie Wroe Scollay Curtis, daughter of Justice Benjamin Robbins Curtis of the Supreme Court of the United States. On tho expiration of his second term as mayor, in 1886, he spent a number of months ln European travel, and on his return again actively engaged in business until his firm was dissolved in 1888. His interest in public affairs continued.

In the year following Mr. Low's retirement from active business there came to him a call, which, if it could not withdraw him from participation in public affairs, directed his energies and absorbed part of his time la a field curiously unlike those in which he had previously worked. On October 7, 1889, he was, by the unanimous vote of his fellow trustees, tendered the presidency of Columbia College in the City of New York. Mr. Low was not quite 40 years of age when he accepted the office Barely twenty years had passed between the time when he received his graduate's degree and the notable installation when the venerable Hamilton Fish placed in his hands the keys of the college "in testimony of the high charge and responsibility placed in you as and of your duty to guard and protect the property and the interests of the college and to maintain order and discipline wlthlu Its precincts." To a.

man like Seth Low the administration of a mere college could have no great attraction. Columbia was still in name a college, and though planted about it were several associated institutions the Law School, the School of Mines, the School of Medicine, the School of Political Science which gave it some of the form of a university, the tie between them was loose, and there was little of the co operaXion in a common aim that gives to each the aid of all and to the whole the strength of each, and makes possible a vital and growing university. The opening words of Mr. Low's inaugural address as president of Columbia gave the keynote of his purpose in thus assuming that important chair: "In this majestic and historic city we are met together at the call of Columbia College." His distinct purpose at Columbia was to the utmost Use of every link between it and the city that had been forged in the past, and so to organize its resources and extend its activity that it would not only share but lead In the unfolding of the splendid future. In pursuance of this policy the scope of the university has been greatly extended and each branch has been greatly strengthened.

The Law School has been reorganized and its requirements more than trebled. The School of Medicine, giving up its separate charter, Is incorporated with the university. To the School of Applied Science, for.nerly the School of Mines, has been added a faculty of pure soience, with fellowships for original research. The department of political and social study has been particularly widened and reinforced. On the whole, the corps of Instruction has been doubled and now numbers about 300 members.

The Teachers' College has been associated with the ui iverelty. Relations have been established with the Metropolitan Museum of Arts and the American Museum of Natural History by which university lecturos are there given, and these priceless collections arc available for constant uee by the university faculty and students. Advantageous arrangements have been made with the Union Theological Seminary, the General Theological Seminary (Episcopal), and the Jewish Theological Seminary, by which the students of these and of the university can us? the libraries of all and can, so far as possible, attend, the lectures of each. link between the university and "the "city is main talned by free lectures at the, Cooper 'Institute by university lrctvrers, and the' services of the university faculty are available, for work connected with the city government. In addition chairs, including a Chinese, have been established, and the work of erecting the great nsw buildings of the university is progressing satisfactorily.

Mr. Low's great gifts of money to Colombia are no doubt fresh in the public mind. ABOUT ROYAL TITLES. Highness, Altitudo, Majesty, Serenities and Other Addresses. The first royal personage connected with Canada who had himself addressed as royal highness was that of Gaston d'Orleans, brother Louis XIII, whose rebellion was the means of bringing to the scaffold a viceroy of Canada of the famous house of Montmorency.

Gaston and the King were brothers of Henrietta Maria, wife of our Charles who shared: with the house of Stuart the blood of the Bourbons. Highness without the royal was used by the sovereigns of England until the days of Henry VIII, who was first dubbed majesty by Francis royal master of our Cartier, on the Field of the Cloth of Gold. Grace, a common alternative for highness, while It was a prerogative of kings, has in later usage been conferred on dukes and ducheEses, and, in the hierarchy, on archbishops. Kings did not always willingly concede to others the titles that they arrogated to themselves. The chancery of the empire (in the times when there was but one empire) withheld from mero kings the title of majesty long after European monarchs had begun to assume it.

It was not until 1648 that the Imperial offlcea ceased calling the French kings serenities, and in no other state did they recognize a majesty until 1741. The usage varied at different courts. France allowed the quality of majesty to the King of Denmark in 1700, and in 1713 to the ex Elector of Brandenburg, known in history as King of Prussia for two centuries. Majesty is, nevertheless, an ancient title, the Emperor. Diocletian having assumed it early in the fourth century.

The term altitudo, the Latin original for altesse, hoheit and highness, came in soon after Diocletian's assumption of majesty, but it was not at first a lay dignity, being for several centuries and down to the close of the first Christian millennium appropriated by bishops. In the fourteenth century it began to be used by monarchs who were vassals of the empire, and from them descended, as already stated, to princes and princesses of royal houses. There are certain delicate distinctions between terms that to the uninitiated might seem identical and which have been Invented to accommodate the vanities of the great. Of these is the law that hoheit is a title intermediate, between altesse royale and altesse sereniBslme. Hoheit alone is ducal, but with koenigliche or kaiserliche it is considerably higher.

Royal highness Is common (in the British Empire) to the sons and daughters and some other relatives of the sovereign. But the heir to the throne with us, as In some other monarchies, has long had some distinctive territorial titles. Wales, Cornwall, York, Lancaster, Richmond, Gloucester, Clarence, Cumberland, Edinburgh, have been borne at times by the heir apparent or presumptive to the crown of England, as Orleans, Oporto, Braganza, Genoa, Sparta, Naples, Rome, Orange, Flanders, Gothland and many others ln foreign lands. The dauphin is Ultimately, though indirectly, territorial. Infante and infanta, crown prince, crown princess, prince imperial, czarewltch, aro other varieties.

There was once an Earl of Cornwall, who was also called King of the Romans, but although he bore that name, he never attained to the imperial crown. It was in imitation of the usage of the old German or Holy. Roman Empire that Napoleon called his eon Roi de Rome. His career also was cut short. There Is an ex lleutenant governor of a Canadian province who claims descent from Henry, King of the Romans (sometimes called emperor by his too enthusiastic followers) who was also an Earl of Cornwall.

We shall soon have the privilege of greeting a Duke of Cornwall, who is undisputed heir to the crown of a greater empire. We are not ambitious to call htm king, though w0 glory ln him as our King's son. Montreal Gazette. THE LENOX NORTH Near Delaware Avenue. STRICTLY FIREPROOF (Not Only In Word, but in Fact).

September 19 The Board of Trustees of Brookhaven town met at the Town Clerk's office Tuesday and agreed that $300 was hot ah unreasonable price to charge the baymen for the privilege of oys tering in Brookhaven waters. There' has been a division of opinion among the baymen as to what the price should be. The regular baymen have been agitating a license claiming that such a price would keep many from oystering and the regulars would be benefited. There has long existed a difference among the parties owning property around a pond called "Hole under the Hill" at South Se tauket, and like many others in the town, want the Board of Trustees to settle their disputes. A committee was appointed to Investigate and report at the next meeting.

As the oyster season nears the trustees are flooded with applications for oyster ground along our shores for laying down purposes. In anticipation of a prosperous season the baymen are preparing to ship oysters in a small way. The trustees also acted upon their investigation of the Bellport dock, which lease is now held by the Jewish Working Girls' Vacation Society, by condemning the dock as a nuisance and a menace to navigation and that the lessees be requested to immediately put the dock In condition for public use. The petition presented by the baymen to tho board relative to the clamming laws was received and laid on the table. The Town Board ip 1900 passed a resolution to collect from circuses, carrousels, a tax, but as the trustees are of the opinion that such a resolution should be handled by the trustees, they to day adopted the same resolution and authorized the collectors of the different committees to enforce the same.

who has been selected by I the Committee of Eighteen as the I anti Tammany candidate for Mayor, was for many years an important factor in the independent politics of the old City of Brooklyn. Since 1897 he has been one the foremost independent Republicans in Greater New York. Mr. Low was born in Brooklyn on January IS, 1S30, of a family which had attained a prominent place in the city's financial and social life. When twelve years of age he entered the Polytechnic Institute and later became a student at Columbia, an institution of which he was destined to become president.

He entered there in 1866 and graduated four years later. He was connected with his father in commercial pursuits and in 1881 was elected Mayor of Brooklyn. His administration was noted for the economy of its methods and for an utter banishment of the partisan element in its operation which had characterized so many a previous regime. So successful was Mr. Low in the matter of reforming abuses in the public service that he was ro eleeted at the expiration of his first term and held office up to 18S5.

Many of the public works of the city were remodeled and recast under Mr. Low's direction, and he, with Alfred T. White, was instrumental in securing the establishment of the Brooklyn Bureau of Charities. A man of wealth and culture Mr. Low occupied a position among the foremost men to whom the city owes so much.

On October 7, 1889, he accepted a call to the'presidency of Columbia College and then removed his residence to Manhattan. There he has since resided. Mr. Low's First Mayoralty Campaign in Brooklyn. In the fall of 1881, James Howell was renominated for a third term as mayor.

The Jefferson Hall committee, or Central Democratic Association, which met at Willoughby and Adams streets, placed in nomination General Slocum and also placed In the field a full local ticket. Seth Low was nominated as a citizens' and Republican candidate, General Tracy and Ripley Ropes having withdrawn ln his favor. The election was of unusual importance, as the incoming mayor was to inaugurate the system of one head commissions, and exercise for the first time the sole power of appointment. There was so much strife and dissatisraction among the Democrats that it was evident that with existing divisions there was no chance electing a Democrat to the mayoralty. An association of Democrats known as the Young Men's Democratic Club, of which David A.

Boody was a member, was also in revolt. It was not a very formidable organization, but it helped just so much to split the Democratic vote. In view of the gravity of the situation, the leaders of the Willoughby street and Jefferson Hall parties got together for the purpose of having, if possible, but one Democratic candidate in the field. After much dickering, during which the Jefferson Hall people opposed the further dictation of Mr. McLaughlin in party affairs.

It was decided that General Slocum and the rest of the Jefferson Hall ticket should be withdrawn with the understanding that Mr. McLaughlin should retire from his position as leader. In accordance with this agreement, Mr. McLaughlin had prepared a letter declaring it as his intention to "retire," and then the Jefferson Hall committee withdrew itB ticket. The action of Jefferson Hall was taken within a very few days of the election.

Had It been taken earlier, or had General Slocum never been nominated the result of the campaign would ln all probability have been the same, for public sentiment was running strongly against the Democracy, and the Democratic rank and file were very lukewarm and to a considerable extent divided. Nothing which the leaders might do, no truce which they could patch up in the short time allowed would be of any avail. The sacrifice of Slocum and the transference of support to Howell within one week of election day tended rather to the increase of the strength of Low than to the diminution of his vote. Jefferson Hall did not long survive the election of Mr. Low.

Mr. Low Becomes Mayor of Brooklyn in 1882. In 1881 James Howell had the prestige of 12,000 majority over Franklin Woodruff two years before. Mr. Low made a rousing campaign.

He went into the Democratic wards, where a Republican candidate for mavor had never before set foot. Mr. Howell was beaten and on Jonuary 1, 1SS2, Mr. Low occupied the mayor's chair. The conditions under which he assumed office were different from those prevailing under Mr.

Schroeder, whose purposes were somewhat similar. Mr. Low was chosen to be the first interpreter and exponent of the new charter drawn up on the lines suggested by Mr. Schroeder. Mr.

Low filled the places at his disposal creditably. He left General Jourdan in charge of the Police Department and made Ripley Ropes Commissioner of City Works. One of Mr. Low's achievements In his first term was the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge. The Mayor saw that the use of the bridge was being purposely withheld from the people so as to help the ferries in which the leading trustees were interested.

His continued insistence on proper haste brought about the dtsired result. It was la 1SS3 that Mr. again entered the lists. Against him the Democrats named Joseph C. Hendrix.

Mr. Hendrix was beaten and Mr. Low remained in office. Mayor Low was a consistent and practical friend of Civil Service reform. He introduced reform methods into official systems and sought gradually to extend the system inward and upward.

During Mr. Low's two terms as Mayor of Brooklyn the following were some of his appointments: Controllers, Aaron Brlnkerhoff, Ludwig Semler; treasurers, W. H. Fleeman. A.

D. Wheelock: auditors, Zachariah Voor hles, August Voege; tax collector, James Tanner; register of arrears, Theodoro F. Jackson; corporation counsel, John A. Taylor; commissioner of city works, William H. Fleeman, Ripley Ropes; city clerks, "William J.

Tate, John Shanley; oommlsioners of fire, John N. Partridge, Richard H. Poillon; commissioner of health, Dr. John H. Raymond; J.

S. T. Stranahan and John Gibb, presidents of board of parks; commissioner of buildings, William H. Gaylor; commissioner of police, John N. Partridge, James Jourdan.

Seth Low's Letter of Acceptance in Campaign of 1897. In 1897 Mr. Low was the mayoralty candi date of the Citizens' Union. His letter of acceptance was dated September 13. On the 7th of the previous June he had said that he would accept no nomination if there were attached to it any obligation, expressed or implied, in case of election, other thai the obligation of the official oath as Mayor to make the interests of the city the paramount concern in tne discharge or every duty.

No condition whatever was imposed upon him. tn ms letter oi acceptance ne said: "I am a Republican, and I expect to remain one, but I am completely in sympathy with the purpose of the Citizens' Union to secure a Mayor for the great city who shall bo 'free from all partisan Such a Mayor, if elected. I shall certainly be. In making appointments it shall be my endeavor to fill every place with an eye single to the public good. The patronage of the city shall not bo used, so far as it is in the Mayor's power to prevent it, for the purpose of either strengthening or weakening one party or another, or any faction of any party.

I shall try to make an administration that will be honest, broad minded, efficient and business like and considerate of the Interests of every citizen. "The civil service laws of the state shall be impartially enforced 'by such methods as will insure a practicable and reasonable test of fitness and the selection of subordinate officers upon their jnerlts, irrespective of political influence, so as to afford a fair chance to every citizen, without regard to race, religious belief or political It shall be my endeavor to build up all parts of the public service a spirit of honest pride, based upon the well settled conviction on the part of every person in the city's employ that, so long as his services are needed and be renders them faithfully and well, no influence in the city shall be able to turn him out; while the moment he fails in his duty, no influence shall be strong enough to keep him in. "Nothing is more vital to the welfare of the city, as I conceive, than that it be allowed by the Legislature to shape its own destinies ln all matters that are purely local. I would wish the great city to bear Its part proudly In all the concerns of the Empire State and willingly to bear its share of the burdens of the state but, as concerns the city's local affairs, It is not so much a part of the state as it is the home of its inhabitants. If I am elected I shall contend sturdily for the city's right In such matters to govern itself.

"As to the public' franchises, the Greater New York charter practically embodies the doctrine that the city shall not part with the ownership of its franchises, but shall lease them for limited periods, subject to occasional revision of the terms. I think legislation should be had, however, in addition to the charter that, will enable the city to treat every consent to a change of power by street railroads as a new franchise. It Is utterly unreasonable that because of defective legislation these valuable grants should continue to be given away without compensation to the city. As matters now stand, these consents are granted by the State Railroad Commission, and the city is deprived of all opportunity to secure a return for them either by way a money payment or by imposing conditions calculated to secure a service thoroughly in the interest of the public. Believes in Rapid Transit Between All the Boroughs.

"I am heartily In favor of carrying to as speedy completion as possible the municipal rapid transit system for which the people of the present city of New York voted in November, 1894, and, elected, I shall do everything in my power to facilitate com municaticj between the various boroughs of the great city by means of bridges, tunnels and ferries. Nothing will do so much as a complete system of intercommunication to unify the people of all the boroughs Into one municipality, and to secure for all parts of the city the maximum advantages of consolidation. "I should gladly interest myself heartily in the schools and in all that concerns the higher life of the people; and I should strive earnestly to promote every municipal interest that makes for the commercial and business prosperity of the city and the welfare of the citizens. The harbor and the water front would command my especial care. "I believe that the labor laws of the state as they apply to tho city should be administered in the letter and in the spirit This is the laborer's right, and, in my Judgment, it is eminently in the interest of the city.

"No campaign in the City of New' York turning on local issues can be conducted ln the present condition of excise legislation without some reference to the excise question. The Raines law, in my belief, contains the germ of an excise system far better than that which It supplanted, in that it has relieved the liquor traffic of the arbitrary control of excise boards and has substituted for this a grant of explicit rights that can be enforced at law. Where trio aines law fails as applied to New York it falls because it does not take into account the public sentiment of the city. New York, while characteristically an American city. Is also, as the Germans say, a world city.

It is cosmopolitan in fact and cosmopolitan in Bentl ment. Men of every sort of upbringing must bo able to live ln such a city happily and naturally, of course with due regard to the rights and convictions of others. Legislators on this subject should never forget that the excise law stands midway between the laws that everybody believes in nnd the dead laws that nobody believes in, and that the effective public sentiment behind it, is the only permanent force on which to de pond in its administration. For this reason, in my opinion, an excise law, so far as It affects the daily life and the habits of the people, should reflect the public opinion of the city.

to one of his own men receiving three more votes than he did in the old Twelfth District. Both sides in Newtown hope that the official canvass will better their position. The O'Brien mei assert that the Bjrmel or Cas sily ticket is invalid, anyhow, as it contains the names of thirteen delegates to the Assembly district convention and the same number to Iho aldcrmanic contention, while tho apportiopment allows only twelve delegates to each convention. They expect that this point will throw cut the Bermel ticket. In this city the corrected returns give the Cassidy ticket 2 312 votes and the Wissel ticket, headed by Patrick J.

White. 2,204, which leaves Cassidy a majority of ICS, and there is nothing at present that indicates that the Tammany men can cut this majority down even one vote. The Mara forces carried everything before them in Flushing. Even College Point, which was supposed to bo the stronghold of the Cassidy forces, went for the other side and Mara's majority in the town was 576, almost as many as there were votes cast for his opponents. Former County Clerk John H.

Sutphin did not have very easy sailing in the Fourth Ward as the result as siven only leaves him sixty seven votes to the good. Coroner Samuel C. Guy. leader of the anti Tammany forces in the Rockaways, must have felt disappointed over the result as his ticket ran behind 231 votes. BABYLON TRAIN DELAYED.

Rockville Center, L. September 19 Babylon way train No. 13, due here at 3:45, was delayed nearly an hour Tuesday afternoon by an expansion plate bolt on locomotive No. 73 dropping out. The train was within a few hundred yards of the station, when the steam commenced to pour from the engine and put out the fire.

Engineer Joseph quickly brought the train to a standstill and ordered tho fire grate dumped, which prevented the possibility of an explosion. Engine No. 43, from Valley Stream, took No. place. STOYLE HIGBIE.
