Appellate Division Denies Motion fax. New Trial in Starbuck Case. The appellate division to day In the case of Martha H. Starbuck. respondent, against Matilda E.

Starbuck, and others, appellants, overruled defendants' exceptions, after interlocutory judgment for plaintiff and denied a motion for a new trial pursuant to section 1.001 of the Code of Civil Procedure. All concurred except Presiding Justice Goodrich, who rends for reversal, and Justice Jenks not voting. The opinion was by Justice Hirschberg. The action was for dower and the plaintiff is the widow of William H. Starbuck, deceased.

The marriage was in Massachusetts, on October 14. 1S57. The couple moved to New York and Starbuck died on March 29. 1SS6. His wife left him in 1868 on account of alleged ill treatment an dwent back to Massachusetts, where she lived until Starbuck's death, when she came to New York.

She got a decree of divorce In Massachusetts on May 4. 1874, and the papers were served on him. but neither did he nor his lawyer appear in Massachusetts to defend. He afterward married the defendant in Pennsylvania and the minor defendants are children of the latter union. The real estate involved Is in this state and was acquired by Starbuck after the divorce decree.

The question was whether the widow is entitled to dower in the real estate as widow of Star buck. SIGNAL CORPS VETERANS Have Their Annual Meeting, at Which Seventeen New Members Are Proposed.

John Lawless, 35, years old, a cook employed on Randall's Island, and who has relatives living at 792 Myrtle avenue. Brooklyn, was a prisoner before Magistrate O'Reilly in the Lee avenue police court at noon to day, charged with intoxication. Lawless was fined $5, which was paid, and was discharged, but there may be a more serious charge made against him. Y'esterday afternoon Lawless visited his relatives in company with hlB niece, Kate Cassldy, 4 years old, and later started out for a walk. At an early hour this morning he was picked up by Policeman Schindler of the Vernon avenue station.

He was under the Influence of liquor. With him at the time was the 4 year old girl. She was in a stupor. Both were taken to the station house, whence the child was removed to the rooms of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, where a physician worked over her until a late hour to day. It was only after considerable difficulty that she was revived.

The physician who examined the child said that she was suf ering from alcoholism. When Lawless was arraigned, the child, who had recovered sufficiently was araigned with him, and he denied that ho had given her stimulants of any character. He admitted that he had visited several saloons, but said that on no occasion had he given tho child anything to drink and that he was unable to explain how the child could have been suffering from an excess of stimu lants aa the doctors of the society stated. Tho parents of the child were In court to day and took possession of her. NO MORE CHARTERED CARS.

At Least, for the Present, Because of Heavy Travel Toward the Beaches. In order to cope with the heavy tide ot travel that has now set In toward the beaches and other resorts about the borough, the officials of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company have determined to dlBcourage attempts to charter cars of the company by private parties for pleasure Jaunts on Saturdays afternoons and on holidays and Sundays. No cars will be chartered hereafter, until after the middle of July when 150 new cors hours of the morning or evening. Cars may still be chartered, to a limited number, however, nights and mornings. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company has sometimes had as many as fifty of its cars chartered for various trips lu the course of one day.

Recently, owing to the loss of some seventy five cars by fires which destroyed the buildings 'Of the company, applications made for cars have had to be refused. The railroad company Is now doing a phenomenally big business and Is using every means possible to accommodate the throngs of passengers on the various car lines of its system. The new parlor car service from Manhatan to Brighton Beach will be Inaugurated on June 23, via the Flnt'oush and Nostrand avenue lines. SHAKE INTO YOUR SHOES Allen's Toot Kae. powiler.

tfiKER TO HUNT'S BASH Northfield Carefully Raised by Chain Cables and Floated Down to South Brooklyn. GEN. BARTLETT'S BODY FOUND. Fourth Victim of the Disaster Taken From the River Boat Still in Danger. The body of General Charles G.

Bartlctt, one ot ihe victims of the sinking of the ferryboat Northfield of the Staten Island line, was found this mornins in the East River, between' Piers 6 and 7 by Fritz Weber, a deck hand on the tug boat Franklin Brown. The body was Heating in the water and was towed to Pier 8. A gold watch, which had stopped at 6:20 o'clock, and bearing the inscription, "Presented to' Colonel Charles G. Bartlett by the officers of his regiment, April 30, 1866," was found on the body. The remains were removed to the general's late home by Undertaker Brennan.

This is the fourth body found. Shortly 11 o'clock this morning the ferry boat was lifted out of the bed of mud in the bottom of the East River, opposHc Pier 10 and the work of towing her to Forty Tiinth street. South Brooklyn, vas begun. The boat rested upon four sets of heavy chains, between the monster derricks, Monar.ch and and was towed by four large tugboats. The work of pumping the water started early this morning and when the start for the repair yards was made the upper deck of the vessel was out of the water, but there was Ave or six feet of waier over the main deck.

A strong odor emanated from the bodies of the horses still in the boat. A number of policemen followed the flotilla in row boats to pick up any bodies that might Wash ashore from tlie ferryboat during the journey. The work of lifting the vessel from the mud was easily done. The end nearest the shore was lifted in about fifteen minutes and It required but a little longer to' lift the outer end. Large crowds watched the progress of the tugs and the derricks down the river and bay, the piers along the East River being filled with sightseers.

The flotilla made slow progress down the East River. Opposite Congress street, where the Buttermilk Channel and the East River tides meet, some difficulty was experienced by the tugs in getting their tow through. After a delay of about fifteen minutes the Journey was begun and the flotilla moved on down the Buttermilk Channel to Forty ninth street. Just as it made Its appearance in the bay the feryboat Mauch Chunk that crashed. Into the Northfield and caused her to sink, made her appearance at her slip and entered.

The tugs with the Northfield in tow reached Hunt's Basin at the foot of Fiftieth street. South Brooklyn', about o'clock and the weeked' ferryboat was anchored a short distance from the shore waiting high water so that' she can be beached. The water in Hunt's basin is very shallow and the tugs will not be able to beach the ferryboat until a late hour to night. The Northfield was towed down by the tug William E. Chapman and three White Star line tugs.

Considerable difficulty was experienced with the fo'w after passing CongresR street and she Is by no means beyond further danger yet. rb she is In an almost complete state of col lapee. It is expected that some of the machinery may be saved. A targe crowd Is gathered In the vicinity of Hunt's BasI nto watch the work on the wrecking tugs. CHRISTY CASE BADLY MIXED.

Second Autopsy Stirs.TJp Bitterness Between District Attorney's, Office and Department of Charities. The excessive bitterness that has been Injected into the investigation of the causes.of the death of John Christy, an insane patient who is asserted to have been killed In Bellevue Hospital by ill treatment, was strongly in evidence in official ciTcles in Manhattan this morning. The peculiar act of Commissioner Keller in asking for a second autopsy on a body in which pathological indications had already been disturbed if hot eradicated' by a first operation and the subsequent interchange of compliments almost feminine in their npltefulness between Keller atid Coroner's Physician O'Hanlon, was the subject of a lengthy comment in the District Attorney's office, which is conducting' the investigation. Assistant District Attorney Garvin, who haB charge of the inquiry. Mr.

Garvin did not wish to criticise the making ot a second autopsy, but thought it peculiar, to say the least, that after the official autopsy had been made, the persons interested in the case should get together and have a little autopsy of their own. Dr. O'Hanlon said this morning: "IE they were anxious to know the results of my autopsy had ample opportunity to see hie it. Of course they could not find the same conditions as I found, as the fluid In the peritoneal cavity was gone as a result of my dissection of the body." Commissioner Keller had this to say in defense of his course: From what has developed, I am free to say that I don't think there is a possibility of discovering any 111 treatment of Christy on the part of the attendants. I wa6 not satisfied with Dr.

O'Hanlon's autopsy and the doctors who made a second autopsy did so at my request. I regard such men as Dr. Otto Schultze, a recognized expert and the pathologist of Cornell Medical School; Dr. De Wald, the pathologist of Carnegie Laboratory: Su perintendent Stewart, Dr. Louis Schultze, a former coroner and a man who has seen much practice; Dr.

Alexander Lambert and Dr. Alexander Stewart, visiting physician and eurgeon of the hospital, ns men of undoubted J.blllty and reliability aud I have implicit faith the result of their autopsy. "All of these gentlemen came to the conclusion that there hud been no peritonitis. They also found another fractured rib, showing that Dr. O'Hanlon was not entirely thorough In his work.

Tho seventh rib on the left side as well as the fifth and sixth ribs were" found to be broken, you know." Notwithstanding the remarks of Mr. Keller it Is a fact that the Board of Health records 8how Christy died of. traumatic, peritonitis superinduced by fatty heart and oedema of the hralu. INDIANS GET NO INJUNCTION. Kiowa, Comanche and Apache Lands in Oklahoma to Be Opened Up.

Washington. June 20 Justice Bradley, in the equity court to day denied the application of Wolf and other Indians for an Injunction against the Secretary of the Interior to restrain him from opening the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache lands In Oklahoma to' settlement. Without going into the facts of the case, the court held that the question was purely a political one with which the court had no power to deal. ALLEN JUMPED HIS BAIL. When the case of Charles Blinn against John Allen was called in the Gates avenue police court this morning it was discovered that 'the latter, who Is charged with swindling young boys and Raining possession of bicycles owned by them, had jumped his bail tond ot $.100 which wa given by Bernard Bumenfeld, a saloonkeeper, of Osborne street.

The bond was declared forefited by Magistrate Furlong and a warrant Issued for Allen's arrest. 1 Justice Maddox's Decision Reversed by Appellate Division of Supreme Court. BABY IS 13 MONTHS OLD. Henry S. TVeyant Believed That Father Could Not Properly Care for Child During the Trip.

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court has reversed Justice Maddox In the case of the people, in the matter of Frank B. Weyant, appellant, vs. Henry S. Weyant and Lizzie Weyant, respondents. The custody of Gladys, the infant, is awarded to Frank B.

Weyant. No opinion, no costs and all concur. Mr. WTeyant, the father of the child, formerly lived in this state and his wife died fifteen days after the birth of Gladys, for whose possession the fight is being made. The baby was puny and it was turned oyer to Weyant's brother, Henry S.

Weyant, and Lizzie Weyant, who live here, because Weyant, the father, was himself going West. Six months ago the father tried to secure the custody of Gladys, but he gave up the plan when a doctor told him that the baby was too young to be taken on a journey of 1,600 miles. As Gladys grew older and stronger tho father came on again from Lincoln, and tried habeas corpus proceedings. Justice Samuel T. Maddox heard the case and saw all the parties on two hearings and, on the second, decided, after hearing physicians, that the journey would be too great a risk for a child In its second summer, largely on account of the change in fluid nourishment.

The health of the infant, Justice Maddox said, has first to be considered. The argument in the case was had yesterday afternoon and former Congressman Mitchell May, for Frank B. Weyant, said on the appeal: "Petitioner intended taking the child to his mother, who lives on the farm with his father and himself and should anything occur to prevent her caring for the child, his sister, Mrs. Armstrong, who lives but eight miles away, would care for her for him. Petitioner works on said farm and has an interest in the proceeds, as well as one third share in the live stock, consisting of thirty head of cattle and nine cows.

"No charges were made that petitioner was an immoral person, brutal or addicted to drink, or in any sense an improper person, and since there appeared nothing on the trial of the case discreditable to petitioner, and since he is able to provide well and properly for said child and can give her proper caro and attention, no reason exists why he should be deprived of her, and the matter therefore resolves itself into the two questions: "1. Will it be dangerous to take the child away from her present surroundings; and. 2. Is it dangerous for a child in normal health, thirteen months old, to undertake a journey from Brooklyn to Lincoln, In contending for the removal of the child counsel said that the only illness she was shown to have suffered from was the result of improper feeding, and then he asks: "Would not the child be In better hands, or at least' receive a3 good Care w.lth petitioner's mother, who has raised six children to manhood and to womanhood, or In the custody of petitioner's sister, Mrs. Armstrong, who has raised a family of three children, none ot whom has died, and the youngest of whom is 10 years old? Would not a farm of: 160 acres, sixteen miles from the city, be more conducive to the health of the child than a crowded city like Brooklyn, especially during the summer months? Would it not be better to give the child into the keeping of her rather now at an age wnen real attaenment and love for another cannot have taken place, than one year later, when such attachment Will unquestionably be manifest, and when it might be cruel and harsh to tear the child away from the objects of her affection?" The objection that change of water might affect the child.

It was said, could easily be overcome by boiling it. On the second point, as to the alleged danger for a child to undertake the journey to Nebraska, Mr. May said: i "The court knows, with all the modern inventions, traveling is made comfortable and pleasant. Dining cars supply all the delicacies of the season and hot foods, boiled water and boiled milk are easily obtainable and, especially in summer, the cars are well ventilated, difference is to a child in arms; wheth.or it Is In the cars or at home? It does not feel the restraint of being kept in cars and whatever jostling there may be, is practically eliminated by. the splendid railroad facilities of the day.

Thousands ot Infants are taken every month of the year on t.long' journeys, some from the Atlantic to the pacmc uoast ana some to Asia, ana every day there are landed on our shores who have crossed the oceau, cooped up for seven to fifteen days In ill ventilated, dingy steerage compartments, and with them infants ranging In age from 2 months upward, and in these cases there are comparatively no bad results. How much more dangerous is such a trip than one to Nebraska? "The court knows further that every day men, women and children are being removed to different climes, often on long journeys, in dying conditions, in the hope of beneficial results flowing therefrom. The recent removal of Mrs. McKinley from California to the District of Columbia is a notable ox ample. "If such journeye are taken under the advice of physicians and with comparatively no bad results, who will say that a father, a proper man, cannot have the custody of his only child when he loves and for whom he can properly provide because such a journey might be dangerous? He brought his sister to New York to care for the child on the Journey and nothing Is or can be offered to ehow that dangerous results would probably follow such journey.

"In the case at bar, respondents took possession of said child on condition that they would return her when wanted, and when demand was made and they refused to return the infant. They, in the eye of the law, retained that to which they had no claim, and are in but little better position than one who had originally taken the child without the consent of its parent. "If the order herein is sustained any father who has had the misfortune to lose his wife would not dare intrust his baby to another tor fear that the courts might deprive him of its custody." Washington Brauns, counsel for the respondents, said the father had only contributed' $30 toward the support of the child since the respondents had had her in their possession, that he lacked Interest in the child and that the order dismissing the writ was properly made on the considerations affecting the health and welfare of the child which may justify a court in withholding the custody of it temporarily from Its fa th r. He conten ied that Justice Maddox'a decision should be afflrmed. LITTLE THOB.NE SOLD.

MISS UNDERHILL ALSO WINS. Miss Willis Unexpectedly Victorious Over Miss Marion Oliver Mrs. Ashmore Wins.

(Special to the Eagle.) Olen Cove, L. June 20 The women are favored by the weather to day, for, threatening as the sky appeared at an early hour, the sun finally dispelled the clouds and the second round of match play in the annual Women's Metropolitan Golf Association tourney was begun under a fair but cooler sky. Most of the competitors are lodged in the vicinity, boarding at Glen Cove, while Miss Ruth Underbill has a half dozen as her guests. Thus all are early at the tee, which, after all, is a necessary attribute of the true golfer. The approaching and driving competitions yesterday afternoon were thoroughly enjoyed.

The only marring circumstance was a resur I rectlon of the time worn discussion of the driving mertis of a certain ball, which, on account of its core of pure rubber, is supposed to carry further and roll laster tnan the ordinary gutta percha. One of the driving competitors insisted upon her right to use this ball, but the discussion leading up to her final decision to do so upset her nerves so that she only got one of her three drives out into the fair green, slicing one and pulling another. She established the precedent, however, and all who choose to do so hereafter will probably drive this ball. She did not win, however, a source of much gratification, apparently, to the opponents of her side of the mooted question. The crowd elected to center intercs; in Miss Genevieve Hecker, although it was not expected that Miss Katherine Travers of Nassau would stand much chance against the champion, who now hails from Essex County.

The gallery, however, found Hecker's style so graceful and pleasing that It was worth a journey over the green to see her magnificent play with the wood. With the possible exception of Miss "Peggie" Curtis of Boston, who, like Miss Gris com, is ineligible to the Metropolitan Golf Association tourneys. Miss Hecker drives a longer ball from the tee than any woman golfer in this country. Taken on the whole, her long game is not equaled by either Miss Curtis, Miss Griscom or Miss Hoyt, and her work on the greens is much Improved of late. The present champion started off in easy style this morning and quickly rolled up a lead upon Miss Travers.

At the circus hole Miss Hecker a tee shot carried her into the cap at the further side of the green, and, at the eighth hole, 345 yards, Bhe was at the edge of the green in a 2, a feat which she has once before accom plished In this tourney. Miss Hecker ended the match at the thirteenth green by 6 up and 5 to play. The cards Miss Hecker. out .47655345 7 IS Miss X. Travers 754 Miss Hector, in 6 4 6 6 22 lo Miss K.

Then Mrs. Collingwood evened the match. At the sixteenth hole they were all square again. Miss Underhill took the sixteenth with a magnificent approacn shot, from a hanging lie, in 5 to 6. At the pond hole Mrs.

Collingwood was hole high off the edge of the green on her tee shot, while Miss Underhill half topped Into the lang grass, and her second was still thirty yards short. Her third shot still was six yards from the hole. Mrs. Collingwood took things easy and won In 3 to 5 and again the match was even. Both got fine tee shots at the eighteenth hole and Miss Underhill put the odd second on the green.

Her third shot was dead and she took the match by 1 up.

Her opponent was Miss Willis of Morris County, the tallest girl In the tourney. Tho match proved close enough for the first nine holes to be exciting, and, when the players came to the home green, the greater paTt of the crowd at the course were In the wakel It appeared afterward that Miss Willis was not very anxious to win, considering Miss Oliver the stronger player. Yet they halved the home hole and the match, and Miss Willis won the odd hole In 5 to with a grand approach shot. They kept no cards. The remaining match of the championship class was between Mrs.

Ashmore of Baltusrol and Miss Robinson of Wee Burn. This, too, was a close and interesting affair whlhc also went to the nome noie. At the seventeenth hole Miss Robinson was 1 down and she had a splendid chance to halve the match, but she got a stymie. She went at it boldly and almost made the putt, winning the cup. Mrs.

Ashmore took the match by 1 up. No cards were kept. In the consolation class there were some good matches, and, incidentally, plenty of Interest. Miss Pauline RamsdeH of Powelton was moBt sensational in her putting, which was a feature of her match with Miss A. L.

University of Pennsylvania Oarsmen Take First Spin. Henley, England, June 20 Great interest attached to the first appearance of the University of Pennsylvania oarsmen on the water this afternoon. They took a spin to the starting point, with the stream, and back to their quarters. The average rate of their stroke was thirty to thirty two to the minute. They covered the regular regatta course in seven and one half minutes.

The crew created a favorable impression. Their short boat aroused considerable curiosity. The Americans will go out again later and will do heavier work than paddling. Two of the spare men rowed Coach Ward about the course. Ward said to a representative of the Associated Press: "They have not lost their sea legs yet, and, of course, are ragged at first.

In spite of the narrowness of the courso it is not at all bad. There is only a single bend amounting to anything. It is, in fact, better than I expected. Coxswain Smith also expressed pleasure at the long, straight finish, though he added: "I will have to learn a few things about those corners at the beginning." The spectators were impressed by the Penn sylvanians' form and strength, but they commented on the short and characteristically American stroke, which has heretofore proved so unsuccessful at Henley. The American crew disembarked In perfect condition and drove to their quarters for luncheon.

CONSTITUTION UNDER SAIL. Mr. Duncan Takes the Defender Up the Bay at Bristol. Newport, R. June 20 Manager Duncan and two or three guests, on board the Constitution, started for Bristol to day.

Anchors at Bristol. Bristol, R. June 20 The Constitution came up the bay from Newport to day under lower sails and large club topsail in a fine southwest breeze. The sails set finely, especially the large club topsail, whtch towered high above all other objects in lower Narragansett Bay. She anchored in deep waiter off the southeast point of Hog Island, all of two miles south of the Herreshoff works.

The Mount Morris, which followed closely after the Constitution, rounded off under the lee of the yacht while lunch was served. SANT0I WINS GOLD CUP.
