But, howevor, thw may bo, I am of tho opinion for tho reasons before stated that the respondents are exercising a franchise which has expired by limitation and which has not yet been extended, and that they are acting as officers of a corporation that has no legal existence, and, therefore, they are acting in violation of the law, and I can hardly seo how I can refuse to bring an action at tho request of the supervisor of one of the towns interested to havo this question determined. Whether right or wrong there has ben such a cloud thrown upon the title of these officers and upon their property that calls for a do termination thereof by the courts. Therefore upon tho execution of a proper bond to indemnify tho people against costs I will bring the action requested by the petitioner if ho still thinks such an action should bo brought.

MEKltlCK CA.UP MEETING. Annual Celebration of tbeFruitiou Cake Walk Society. Several days ago a programrao was sent to the various athletic olnbs in this oity announcing tho fact that on Friday, August 1 at Jacob Bonner's Ridgewood grove there would be a grand inaugural celebration under the auspices of tho Fruition cake walk society. The circular further stated that all Sunday school children wore invited and that there would bo a shooting couteat for prizes and medals open to all comers. On investigation it was found that tho Fruition was an organization composed entirely of colored men and women of the upper ten of Navy, Gwinnett and Raymond streets.

The object of the society was to cultivate all out door snorts Buch as lawn tennis, oroquet and bean bag for the women, and baseball, running, walking and jumping for tho men. Notwithstanding that the men had any ono of.the above sports to choose from and perhaps win a national reputation in any of them, the younger element of tho order became dissatisfied, and threatened to bolt and form another club. Whon questioned as to what would induce them to stick, the most aristocratic members were horrified whon informed that the only thing that would satisfy the young bloods was that boxing would be allowed in tho club rooms. This proposition was at first strenuously opposed, until one of the membora reminded them that tho greatest men in the conntry at the present time were Peter Jackson and George Dixon, and when it was explained to the women that these men were adding to thoir laurels evory day it was unanimously decidod that boxing would form part of the day's entertainment Well, tho picnio took place yesterday, and every colored man of note was in attendance John better known as "Chicken" Wright drove up to tho park behind a blooded horso, as became the president of such a swell organization. Ho was received at tho gate by a committee of one hundred and escorted to tho platform.

Soon afterward the Darktown rangers, about seventy five strong, arrivod iu tally ho coaches, while the "Coachin' club, of New York, came on foot The announcement that there wjuld bo an "atonement" of tho Excelsior athlotio club evidently was intended to convoy tho idea of a tournament, as under that club's auspices thero was a hundVed yards dash for a silver medal aud a five hundred yards dash for a gold medal. A handsome gold watoh was to be given to the highest aud most distant jumpor, but that event did not tako place. Still there was any amount of enjoymont The dancing platform was continually patronized, while a feature wasike singing by the Joints' reBt singing society. Tom Brooks, alias Midnight Tom, insisted that tho sparring exhibition should tako place, but Vice President Wobo decidod otherwise. In this ho was upheld by Chick Wright, who.

although ho is tho man that whippod Swipes the newsboy, did not care to see any slugging at a picnic The committeo in chargo of the danc ing platform consisted of E. Brown, T. Abrams, R. Stith, P. Brown, G.

TROUBLE AHONG The Brooklyn Club Doe Not Propose to be Dictated To. The trial canoe races purpose of selecting a defender for the New York canoe club's international challenge cup did not como off yesterday and to day as announced, but were postponed until August 30 aud 31, because of a misunderstanding botweon tho Now York and Brooklyn canoe clubs. The Brooklyns olaim that as they hold the cup tho trial races should bo held under their auspices and that the Brooklyn club's regatta committee should have the right of selecting the representative to defend tho eup against foreign competitors. They concede that the international race itself should bo held under the uapices of tho Now York club, but claim that tho rules expressly provide that the trial races be held under tho direction of the club holding the cup.

This the New York club disputes and claims that both trial and international races should be under thoir guidance. They also hold the power of dociding tho question, and tho Brooklyn club has intimated that should tho New York club decido in its own favor tho cup will bo turned over to it, but no canoe raco will be participated in by Brooklyn canoeists. The matte may, however, bo amicably aottled, aB at a special meeting of tho Brooklyn club a committeo consisting of P. F. Hogan, M.

V. Bro kaw and Robert J. Wilkin was appointed to argue'the matter with the Now York club. MANNING INCREASES HIS LEAD. Kuntzuch Outclassed In the Cuampioa ablp Pool Match.

Civelr iTIidaumRier Discussion Started by tUe Earle. The Eagle's article on Republican discontent over Arthur Dominy'B retention of the life saving superintendency has set the party papers to discussing tho matter in a lively fashion. Here is what the Democratic Htanaard says The Biiooklvh Eagle and some of the county papers are indulging iu a good deal of loose talk about Arthur Dominy, tho superintendent of life saving stations, and why he remains in office under a Republican administration. We have reason to know that it is not through any influence that Perry Belmont has in Washington, but because Dominy has jthns far filled the office acceptably, and, as it is not connidored a striotly political office, he is not likely to be removed, excepting for abBOlute neglect of duty well established. The Jamaica Farmer, the Republican organ which recognizes neither faction and castigates both, accuses ex Governor McOormick of writing tho above, and then comments as follows: We quite agree with Mr.

McCormick that Perry Belmont is not keepiug Mr. Dominy in. Ho is kept there through the influence of Ir. McCormick. who takes this method of compensating Captain Merritt for the $12,000 which the captain says ho put into the campaign to make Mr.

McCormick congressman. Captain Merritt, as a rescuer of wrecked vessels, haB use for the boss of the life Baving servioe. It was over this office that Mi'. Belmont and Mr. Merritt quar relod aud parted company.

Mr. Merritt and Mr. Dominy aro the best of friends now Republicans can see why it is that Mr. McCormick, who assumes to bo a party leader, rushes into print to defend a Democrat who i holding an office that belongs to a Republican. When Mr.

McCormick was asked to sign the county committee indorsement of George W. Smith he refused because George CromweU haa signeu ior Half. That was all right enough, but why was not Captain Haft given the offioo He was not givon the office because the action es to him waB intended to shut out other applicants in behalf of Mr. Dominy, Captain Morritt'a man. WILLIAM LAUX'S PROPERTY.

Rival Claimants for Dead Man's Posaenuious. Last Sunday night William Laux, 20 5'ears of age aud living at 140 Fifth avenue, was arrested on Fifth avenue by Tenth precinct officers and locked up on a charge of intoxication. This was about 12 o'clock. At 2 o'clock ho had the delerium tromons, and in response to an ambulanoe call Surgeon Mills, of tho Homeopathic hospita 1, attended him, but refused to tako him away. About 4:30 o'clock William had another fit of the horrors, and this timo Surgeon Mills removed him to Cumberland Btreet.

Day bofore yesterday ho diod. and j'es terday two men called at police headquarters and requested an order upon Property Olork Powell for tho effects of tho dead man. One of the visitors said he was a brother of Laux and wanted tho keys toopeu his trunks that he might get clothing in which to bury him. Inspector MacKellar called at the Tenth precinct, and asked if there had been any ono there for the property. "Why, yes," said tho captain, "a woman who said sho was Mrs.

Laux oamo here and demandod the things, but I referred her to tho property clerk." Inquiry of Mr. Powell revealed tho fact that he received a letter in tho morning from a New York lawyer as follows: My client, Mrs. Minnie Laux, informs me that you hold property belonging to her deceased husband, William Laux. and I would request you to retain it until my client will apply for it as administratrix of the estate, which will be on Tuesday next. Respectfully, F.

J. Bischoff, Stewart building, Broadway and Chambora Btreet, Now York. When tho visitor was shown this letter he acknowledged that his brothor had a wife. "She lives in New York," he said, "and was applying for a separation. I though wo had a right to his property as ho was with us." Ho was informed that he could not havo tho property, which consisted of a watch and chain, keys and a few dollars in money, until it was proven that ho only had a right to it.

So the polico department ia keeping the effects, awaiting a settlement of the dispute. NOTKS KH0 31 HKUl'STEAD. Baron do Rothschild has been the guest of August Belmont, at Hempstead.

The following letter has been sent by the Brooklyn single tax club; 108 LmNQBTON street, July 31, 1890. William J. Oaynor, Dear Sib We understand that you have been retained by the board of assessors of the town of Flatbush in the matter of the complaint of some large property owners of inequitable valuation of their holdings. We rospeotfully suggest that it would be in the line of wiso publio policy for the assessors to use the full discretion whiob the law allows in standing firm agalnBt reduction of valuations of unimproved land and of the property or franchises of snob monopolies as the gas and water works companies. Tho holders of such property have long managed to avoid their full share of local expenses, thus unduly increasing the burdens of all other taxpayers, and we believe that right action by the Flatbnsh officials will aid the rapidly growing public sonymont in favor of a ohange.

Ward's Wonders Tako a Rest and Defeat th Pittsburgs in a Centest Kennedy's Gladiators Loss Tho Records to Date. The Bridegrooms put in an appearance on their home liold at Washington park yesterday fresh from well earned victories on their second Western tour, thoy having come ont of the fight at Cincinnati even up with thoir strong rivals of that city, while at Chicago and Indianapolis they boro off tho honors in taking two out of threo gameB in each city, thus rotnrning with five victories to their crodit out of tho eight gamos. Yesterday they had Pittsburg's strongest nino placed in the field against thom in the first game of tho two, and in six out of the eight innings in which the Brooklyn batsmen were opposed to Hookor's pitching did they find it impossible to eel in a singlo run, bo effective was hiB delivery and bo ably was he supported iu tho field iu every position. In tho first inning thoy made so successful an assault on the enemy's works that it virtually gave them the victory at the outset. To tho credit of tho visitors, despite their loss in the first inning, thoy went to work and put up a stiff uphill game, fighting every inoh of ground stubbornly, and in the fifth inning thoy came near recovering what thoy had lost, for though the score at the end of the first inning Btood at 4 to 0, and remained bo up to the fifth, at the end of the first part of tho latter inning tho figures had been changod to 4 to 3, and the contest changed from its previous ono sided look to that of nearly even figures.

Then it was that tho homo batsmen made another dash at tho bat against Hooker, and at tho end of the fifth inning they had once more obtained a winning lead by changing the figures from 4 to 3 to 7 to 3 in thoir favor, and that ondod further run getting in tho game on either Bide, the home team finally coming in victors. The contest was one marked by brilliant play on both sideB, tho fielding of the homo team being exceptionally lino. Whilo tho score bIiowb a majority of base hits for the visitors, thoir hita were bunched in but ono inning out of the nine in whioh thoy batted, and even in single inning, but for an error in the outfield in misjudging a chance for a catch, the visitors would have boon shut out. In this single inning the fifth Osborn led off with a safe hit, and Sales followed with another. Thon Lovett disposed of tho third utrikor by a fine catch of a foul ball, and, on Sunday's force hit Sales was thrown ont at Becond, and when Miller went to tho bat Osborn was at third and Sunday had stolen second.

Thon it was that Miller gave Donovan a chance for a catch, but he miscalculated the ball's speed, aud, in running backward to catch it, he stumbled, and tho ball dropped safe beyond him. Donovan's fall gavo Miller the chance for a technical homo ruu, which gavo tho visitors the only runs thoy scored in the game, not ono of which was cleaned oarnod off the pitching. The rally at tho bat was a plucky one under tho circumstances, but its effect was to rouse up tho homo batsmen to offset it with another, and they answered the call with an effect which roused up the enthusiasm of tho occupants of tho bloaching boards, as Piukney and Burns got iu two yard running spurts in tho form of homo rum, the former sending in a runner, while the latter played hia alone. After this they took a needed rest and run setting in the contest ended. Daly had previously figured in a 120 yard sprint iu the first inning, sending in Terry, who had Bent a ball flying to his favorite spot, tho left field bank.

The attractive feature of the contest howevor, was tho splendid field work on both aidos, tho homo team especially distinguishing themselves. Smith covered his ground in the highest style of the art, four fino catehes marking his seven put outs, while his four assists wore marked by splendid pickups. Foutz, too, did himself proud in his position, two fine catches marking his play. Donovan made five good catohos and assisted in a doublo play, Collins, Smith and Foutz attending to another one. A line throw in by Terry led to Sunday's being put out at third, thereby cutting off a promisod run.

Iu fact tho Grooms put up championship ball playing in this game and showed that they wero in winning form. The gamo was impartially umpired by the veteran Powers and not a kick marred the harmony of tho contest. Hero is the score in full: PITTSHU11G (N. BROOKLYN (V. B.1I1.

The attendance at the first game, which began at 2 P. was unusually largo considering tho heat of the day and the fact that the home team had tho tail endors opposed to them. By 4 P. however, tho timo tho second contest began, over sixtoon hundred peoplo had congregated, and the lato comere missed the best gamo of tho day. Experience shows that baso ball games are, in ono respect, Birnilar to tho gamo of chess in tho changes which occur in evory contest, no two games of ball being alike.

In tho first game of yesterday no visiting team at Washington park has this season put up a bettor game of ball than the Pittsburg nine did in the first contest But the second game proved to bo ono in striking and very inferior contrast The change in tho makeup of tho team lod to this differonco. In placo of tho reliable Hecker in the box, the field support were called upon to aid a new man in the position, aud when thoy saw that ho was not equal to the task assigned him thoy lost confidence and, in fact "went all to pieces," as the saying is, in the very first inning. They opened favorably for another close contest, owing to Terry's swift and rathor wild delivery at the outset A baBO on balls gave Sunday first, a good steal took him to second, and a wild pitch would havo sent him homo had he not slid in at third, after which ho oven thon stole homo on tho throw in. After two men wero out Pinkney gave a life by a bad throw to Foutz, aiui ou Gibson's safo hit two bases wero ocoupied, but a fiuo catch by Foutz ended the inning. On tho othor side, after Collins had been thrown out, Pinknoy got in a two bagger from a pretty grounder.

Burns gave Sunday a chance for a catch, but tho O. A. orator dropped the ball and Tom waa safo. This turnod out to bo the beginning of a series of fielding aud battory errors, which resulted finally in a score of oleven runs off six base hits. No less than fifteen batsmen faced tho now pitoher in this inning, and by tho timo the inning ended tho game had been lost to all intents and purposos.

Three baseBon ballaand four awfully wild pitches gavo seven of tho oleven runs, and tho wild Work gavo Decker the heaviest task bohind tho bat ho has boon callod upon to attend to for a long while. At tho end of the first inning, with tho score at 11 to 1 in favor of Brooklyn, all further interest in the game ceased, and afterward bocame a mere experimental contest Gibaon was replaced by Osborn in tho socond inning, and but eight base hits in six inniugB of batting wero made off his pitohing, but thoy wore costly hitB in one or two innings. On tho other side Terry aud Foutz changed plaoe in the third inning, and Dave's pitohing rolievod the weariness of the balance of tho game, the veteran allowing but a single hit to be made off his pitching in five innings. At the end of the first part of the eighth inning, with the score at 20 to and the orowd tired of home runs soored off weak pitching, a sprinkle of rain foil and enabled the umpire to end the contest then and there. The first five innings had occupied as muoh time as tho whole of the first gamo did.

In tho seventh inning Oorkhill replaced Terry at first base, and the old man had ono chance given him to diaposo of an opponent. Smith again boro off the fielding honors, as he had done in the first game ten put outs and eight assistances being his record in the two gamos. The last game afforded the spectators an opportunity to Boe why it was the Pittsburg team had failed so Bignally this season whilo having plenty of good material at command to have placed thom among the leaders. It is simply too much experimenting with pitohers, of which they have had nearly a dozen. Here is the score of tho muffing match whioh ended yesterday's exhibi tion: riTIBDUKO s.

TTho Wanted to Uet Waraa Put In the Cooler. The complaint of Contractor C. G. Collins, of this city, against Conductor Farrell, of tho Brooklyn, Bath and West End road, was triod bofore Justice Sutherland last night, and resulted in tho acquittal of Farrell. Collins oharged him with stealing a watch from him whilo he lay in the railroad Btation at Bath Beach ono night recently.

Farrell proved that ho was at Unionvillo all that night. Farrell has announced his intention of suing Collins for $10,000 for false imprisonment Superintendent Heindell, of the railroad company, says Farrell is one of his faithful and honest men. Ho has been on the road two seasons. Constables Kleist and McCroady each paid a viBit to Mott street, New York, yesterday, in chase of a Chinaman who had stolen a watch from a fellow laundryman, who was employed with him at Bing Lee's laundry at West Brighton. Kleist went to do tho recognizing and McCready to do the arresting.

The culprit's name was Chu Wing, which gave McCroady a chance to Bay when they found their man that ho was no longer loose Chu Wing. Tho Chinaman waB unable to laugh at this, though it pleased Kloist mightily. The watch was stolen about a month ago from tho pooket of Sam Leo, tho complainant. Chambers' drug store, about 4 o'clock yester day looked like a hospital. There wore five people waiting their turn for repairs.

Chinese bowls is the name of a new game at Coney Island by which the quarters flow freely into tho hands of tho fakirs, and though tho game has been played but a week it has already proved such a paying investment that there are six of the kind iu active operation. It is simple in construction and readily catches the unwary. It doesn't cost much to stock it either. A few dollars' worth of cheap jewelry aud alleged silverware iB all that is necossary, beyond the boards that inako up tho stand and apparatus.

This consists of a broad inolined shelf at tho front of which is a board about six inches high. Behind this shielding board are arranged a num bor of pigoon holos, tho exits to which are displayed below. Over these oxits hang rings, cups, watches and othor articles of a similar chara cter The gamo consists in throwing three balls up on tho sholf and winning the prizes that hang over tho exits out of whioh they roll. For the privilege of throwing the three balls the player pays a quarter. While the innocent ono is looking at tho game, a capper usually stops up and planks down a quarter, and throws tho three balls.

At least one of tho threo will roll out of an exit over which hang3 a watch or a cup aud the winnor is told he may havo tho Rrticle or its value in money, usually placed at $2. Of course ho takos the monoy and goos off. Then tho pigeon stops up. He throws tho hall, and as ho does so the man behind the counter pulls a string with his foot and all tho exits are closed by trap doors, except as to those having tho minor prizes or none at all. Of courso tho gamo has his money evory time it wants it, aud he is none tho wisort As old Valentino usod to cay about threo card monte, "If you put your monoy down it's there." Chief McKane has warned these men that their avocation is over, but some of them seem willing to wait until they are taken in.

Ho did not mako his loss known at police hoadquarters until some hours after it occurred. He acknowledged that ho saw tho sign warning him to put his valuables in the Bafe, but said ho did not think it was necessary.

Ho hardly expects to got his valuables back again aud says he ought to suffer for boing a newspaper man with so much about him that was worth something. Little Louis Kram, who works at Schiffmau's restaurant, on the Sea Beach walk, camo pretty close to boing drownod yesterday whilo in bathing off StrattonA. Hondorson's bathing pavilion.

He got in the ateamboat channel and in spite of his struggles had gone under, apparently for good, when Life Saver O'Brion brought him up, though he clung fast round O'Brion's neck.

It took half an hour to bring him to. Afterward he was ready to laugh wheu he heard Frank Bush tell ot him that when O'Brien offered to savo him he had commercial instinct enough left to shout out to his would be rescuer, "How much will you chargo mo Mr. Rosenbergh came down from Now York yesterday morning, with tears in his eyes, looking for his way ward daughter, Annie, asod 15, who had run off the day beforo with a girl companion named Sarah May, who lived near by him.

Special to the Eagle. Albany, N. August 2. Attorney General Tabor has granted tho application of Frederick W. Duntou for permission to brine an notion in the name of tho People of the State of Now York afiaiiiKt Aaron A.

DeGrauw and others, doing business under the name of tho Hempstead and Jamaica plank road company, for usurping a corporate franchise, Tho controversy is an interesting one, as well as tho memorandum of the attorney general accompanying his decision, which is as follows: This is an application by Frederick W. Dunton, supervisor of the town of Jamaica, to the attorney General, to have this officer brine an action in the namo of tho pcoplo of the State of New Yolk "against all persons claiming to be or acting as officers or directors of said allesed corporation, on tho ground of their usurping a corporate franchise, and to recover the fine or penalty in such case made and provided, and further declaring said alleged company not to be a corporation, and for judgment of ouster, and for snch other and further relief in the premises as to tho said attorney general or to tho court in which said action may bo brought may seem meot and proper." A hearing was heretofore had before me, Francis H. Van Vechtcn appearing as attorney for tho petitioner and Hon. A. N.

oiler as attorney lor the respondents. The facts, as iar as I am able to understand them from an examination of a largo amount of affidavits, petitions and miscellaneous records, are as follows in snbstanco: First On the 20th of March, 181 the Homp stead turnpike company was incorporated by chapter 37 of tho laws of that year under tho name and style of "The president, directors and company of tho Hempstead turnpike road," to begin at the houso of ('hartes McNeil in the towu Bhip of Jamaica, in Queens county, and running from thence to the house of Isaac Clowes in tho towushio of Hempstead, and thia corporation by section 1 of the said act was to have perpetual succession, and by section 8 of tho act tins corporation was to have and enjoy all the rights, privileges, powers and immunities which are given and granted by an act relative to turnpike companies, passed March 'i, 1807. By section 3 of the act of 1807 a turnpike company was authorized to contract and agree with the owners of laud for the purchase of so much thoreof as should be necessary for the purpose of making tho said road and for the accommodation of gates and toll houses and all other works to the said road belonging. and in case of disagreement application might bo made to a judge of the court of common ulcus for the appointment of appraisers, who are authorized to appraise tho damages occasioned by. the taking of said land.

And it was further provided by the same section "that nothing in this act contciued shall authorize such president and directors to tako possession of any public highway until such highway shall have been appraisod and paid for in the manner that is directed bylaw in cases of taking private propqrty, and In amouut of the highway so appraised shall be paid the commissioners of highways, to be by them applied in improving the roads in such And bv a previous provision in the same section, tho amount of the damages assessed and awarded umn being paid to the owners of tho land taken, the said president and directors "shall vnd may have and hold to them and their successors and assigns forever the lands and tenements'' so taken. Third It appears from a paper filed with me, certified by John H. Sutnhin, clerk of tho county of Queens, June 'JO, 18U0, that, on the 7th day of April, 181 certain persons named appraised the valuoof the road leading from the town of Jamaica to the town of Hempstead and ordered and awarded that the president and directors of tho Hempstead turnpike company pay to tho commissioners of highways of tho town of Jamaica the sum of and to the commissioners of highways of the town of Hempstead the sum of $2.5, which award was acknowledged before John Wyckoff, one of tho judges of Queens county. It further appears from this paper that the persons who made the anpraisal were appointed as such by tho said John Wvckoll' in pursuance of an act of the legislature passed in 1807. and it further appears that they took the oath of office before matting tho appraisal.

And by certificates of the county clerk it appears that this document was recorded iu the Queens county clerk's office, liber JI of deeds, page 400, on tin Hth day of April, 1813. There is no nvidenco before mo of the pa "men of this award. But it must, I think, be assumed and presumed that tho award was paid. Fourth It further appears that on the 11th dav of Mareh, ill pursuance of an act entitled "An act to provide for the incorporation of companies to construct plank roads, and ol companies to construct turnpike roads," passed Slav 7, 1847, and the several ants amendatory thereof, certain persons filtered into articles of association by which it was proposed to construct a plank road "from the village of Hempstead, in the county of Queens to the village of Jamaica, in the said county, on the road of the Jamaica and Hempstead turnpike It was recited in this instrument that stock to the amount of more than for every milo of said road intended to be built was in good faith subscribed, and the name of tho corporation was to be the "Hempstead and Jamaica plank road company," to continue for thirty yours from the date of these articles. An affidavit was attached, made bv three of tho directors, that the amount of the capital stock required by the first section of the plank road act, so called, passed May 7, 1847, to wit, tho amount of at least $500 for every mile of the road intended to be built by said company, had been in good faith subscribed, and that 5 per cent, on tho amount thus subscribed had been actually paid in cash.

This affidavit was sworn to on the loth of May, 18o3, and tho articles of association, with the affidavit, were riled in the office of the secretary If state on the Oth day of May, l53. Fifth It was claimed by the petitioner that an Jiteinpt was made by this corporation to extend existence for thitty years from the 11th day jf March, 1882, and he produces a certificate of the clerk of Queens county showing the passage of a re solution by the board of supervisors of Queens county, dated Juno 5, 871), and upon tho face of the resolution it appears that it was passed in pursuance of chapter 121 of the laws of 1S7S. The petitioner claims that while this resolution was tiled in the office of the county clerk of Queens county, neither the resolution nor the statement required by the law of 1878 was filed iu the office of tho secretary of state. And tho certificate of the secretary of state is produced, showing that upon search made no such resolution or statement was filed in that office, and I did not understand that tho attorney for the respondents makes claim that they were filed. Sixth It was also proved before mo that on the 16th day of September.

Richard Burt and wife deeded to Hempstead and Jamaica piank road company a small parcel of land for the consideration oi $10. And on the I'lh day of July. 1852, tho president, directors and company of the Hempstead turnpike road executed to the Hempstead and Jamaica piank road company all that part of tho Hempstead turnpike road and the lauds and premises constituting the same, being three miles of length thereof from the commencement in the village of Jamaica at the house of Caleb Weeks, formerly of Charles McNeil, including the toll house and all the erections and improvements thereon, to have and to hold all and singular tho above described granted premises and appurtenances unto the said parties of tho second part, their successors and assigns forever. And on tho day of November, 1852, a deed was executed between tho same parlies of all that certain tract of land known as the Hempstead turnpike road, beginning at tho house formerly of Charles McNeil, in the said towu of Jamaica, and running from thence to tho house formerly of Isaao Clowes, iu the town of Hempstead, to havo and hold all of the above described premises and ap purtances "unto tho said parties of the second part, their successors and assigns forever." The consideration of this deed expressed was $12, 800. And the consideration of tho second above named deed was $4,200.00.

Seventh Tho respondents give proof by affidavit that in 1852 tho stockholders of the turu piko company Hold and transferred to the plank road company all of their stock at par and all of them, except the owners of about one hundred and fifty shares, subscribed for and took the shares in plank road company in payment of the Mock to the turnpike company at par; and that the present stockholders of the plank road company are cither the descendants or have received their stock by due course of assignments and transfers from the descendants of tho original stockholders of tho turnpike company; aud tho respondents claim that under section 10 of the general plank load act of 1847 they are entitled to have and hold tho stock of tho old turnpike coniuany with the right to continue the franchise of the same; and that the present officers and directors of tho plank road company aro in duo mid regular succession to the officers of the turnpike company, undas such can operate the old turnpike as a toll road. It may bo said here that the capital stock fixed by the articles of association of March 11, 1852, was $35,000, to bo divided into fourteen huudrod shares at $25 a share. No mention was mado in theso articles of the shares of stock of the old turnpike company, or that there was to bo any paymont for the new shares, except in cabh. The foregoing are substantially all the facts presented to me upon tho hearing. The contention of the respondents is that by virtue of section 1 0 of the act of 1847 uponthe purchase of the btock of tho turnpike company the corporate management and franchise of the turnpike company was merged in or transferred to the new company.

The petitioner replies to this, first, that the right to purchase tho stock of a turnpike company and the transfer of the corporate control of such company did not originally exist by section 10 of 1847, but that this was provided for by an amendment in 1857. chapter 643 of the laws of that year.) Second, that bv this amendment this could only bo done by aiid in the case of a turnpike company connecting with a plank road company and that the provisions as to "making a plank on or adjoining the route of a turnpike company" is still preserved by the amended bection. By such examination as I iiave been enabled to give this section it teems to vie that the contention of the petitioner is right nd if it were not for this tho claim of the re tpondents that tho statute of 1857, in order to save vested rights, might well bo retroactive, thia statute having been passed live years after the ccttial transfer of tho stock. And, therefore, if this construction ib right, respondent must stand or fail as tho law stood previous to 1857. By reason of the failure to extend its charter In 1871) the plauk road company ceased to exist, but it needs no judgment of dissolution, (SturgiB vs.

Vandcrbilt, 73 N. 300.) But the petitioner clainiB that tho officers of this company have usurped the franchises of tho plank road company and aro exercising corporato rights, privileges or franchises not granted to them by the laws of tho state. If this bo so an action may be maintained by the attorney general agonist these respondents under section 8 of tho code and this mi bo done without obtaining leave of tho court. (People vs. B.

H. T. it W. 27 Hun, r'ihit iu this connection another complication arises. Assuming that tho franchise of the plank road company has expired as bofore statod, what becomes of the road bed and property rights of thia corporation, and what is to bo gained by tho people in preventing the respondents in pxef Bldiiiff tho right of franchiso which they claim7 The petitioner seems to think that this property would lovert to the town excopfc norhaps that parcel of land convoyed by the deed daled September 10, 1853, aforesaid, and that tho town upon the payment of $10 could tako possession of the roadbed of the old turnpike company, which he claimed was originaily laid on a highway.

1 confess I do not siactly see how this can bo dono and am not yet convinced of tho soundness ol this position. It seems to mo that tho turn Dike company by tho act of 1807 took an absolute estate and title uprtn the road bod upon the appraisal and paymont to the highway commissioners of the awards made by tho appraisers hereinbefore referred to.

Frances Keil Tails Story That Greatly Farors Her Father in Law Hnntins a Ncsre Tramp With Deg and Gan Embezzler Hiinttinu Visited in Prison.

On tho mornins of April 1 last, during an affray at the house of GnntherKeil, at town of Oys tor Bay, between Charles Dnryea Frederick Van Siso, Nathan Van Siso and Gun thor Keil, Van Siso was shot and instantly killed by Koil. Tho parties during tho afternoon had been to tho polls at Farmingdalo to vote, and on their way homo stopped at Keil's place, where they drank a number of times, and at midnight, when Keil ordered them to go homo, they refused to leave and the row commenced. At tho coroner's inquest much testimony was taken and the jury found that the shooting waB accidental. There was nothing iu the testimony to warrant such a verdict and the coroner at once laid the facts before District Attorney Flemiug, who brought them to the knowledge of the grand jury, which found an indictment against Keil of murder in the second degree. Dnring the affray at his house Koil was terribly beaten about the bead and for a time his life was despaired of.

Upon his recovery ho was arraignod upon the indictment and admitted to bail in the sum of $5,000. Ho was to have been tried at tho last term of the court of sessions, but owing to tho serious illness of his daughter in law, Mrs. Frances Keil, one of his principal witnesses, it was put over until the September term. Mr. De Pity, Keil's counsel, asked that a commission be appointed to tako Mrs.

Keil's testimony, as it might be a long time beforo she would be able to appear in court. The court appointed Justice Joseph Steinert, of Hicksville, to take her testimony, which was done Thursday at her residence, in Plainview, in tho presence of Mr. De Pny and William J. Stanford, the latter appearing for the people. Her testimony, which follows, differs materially from that givon beforo the coroner.

She said sho was the wife of Charles Keil, 35 years of age, and resided at the houso of tho defendant, who is her father in law. Sho resided there April 1. Defendant left his home soon after dinner on that day, and returned about 0 o'clock in the evening. On that evening, between 8 and 0 o'clock, Nathan Van Sise, Charles Duryea and Frederick Van Sise, came to the house. They wero noisy.

Keil was a little deaf, but could hear ordinary conversation. Sho hoard one of them, sho thinks Charles Duryea, Bay, "Mrs. Keil, givo us a drink." They went into the front basement when they arrived. With her family Bhe occupied room3 directly over tho basoruont, and could hear ordinary conversation. She heard hor mother in law say, "You have had plenty to drink; sit down at the table and have something to eat." They remained quiet until about 11 o'clock, when sho heard a uoiso.

Mrs. Koil had gone to bed before this, but only a few minutes when she heard loud talking and angry voices. Sho could not distinguish what was said. Slier heard Mrs. Keil go downstairB aud say, "Now it is time to go homo.

We want to go to bod." Some one said, "Wo are not going homo, we aro going to stay all night." Mrs. Keil remained there about twenty minutes, wheu it became quiet. She then went upatairB again. About an hour later thero was loud talking again and the witness went out into the yard and looked in tho window. Sho saw Frederick Vas Sise pickup a chair to hit the defendant.

Charles Duryea stood near the end of the sofa, and defendant sat at the end of the table nearest the kitchen door. Frederick Van Sise stood between tho front door and tho table. She saw Keil got up and hoard him say, "Now I want you to go home." He ordered Frederick Van Sise to put down the chair and he did. Frederick Van Sise pulled off his overcoat, threw it on the floor and said something about fighting a gray heudod man. Duryea caught Frederick by the arm and she went back to her room.

She started to call hor mother in law but did not do so because they became quiet. She did not tra to bed that night. Next she heard some southing bnt not any very loud noise. Sho heard Keil say they must go home, as ho wanted to go to bed. They refused to go and one of them said thov would not go.

Then bhe heard Duryea say, "You Dutchman, I will punch your gray head oft'." Sho heard fighting and heard someone fall against the door leading to tho Kitchen. At this time she was iu the hall over tho diniug room. Mrs. Koil was In bed on the floor above the hall. She heard a groan from tho dofondaut and sounds as if someone was being pounded.

Then there was scuuliug and she heard tho report of a gun aud the dog ran out of the basement bark iug. Some person ran from tho basemonl out into the yard. Mrs. Koil rushed downstairs into the basement. The witness did not go down.

She heard someono say, "Oh oh after the shot was fired. After this she heard hor mother in law help the defendant upstairs. Sho heard Charles Duryea run out baok of tho houso and call Fred crick three times. Mrs. Koil went to her room and told hor to tell Duryea the boy was downstairs.

Witness Duryea walked around to the base meut. Mrs. Keil came up from the basement and told her that Frederick was dead. She replied, "I guess not." Sho heard Duryoa crying and saying "Frederick, you aro dead!" Duryea called hor and sho wont out on the baok piazza. He said, "My God, Fred is dead." He said, "You tell mo what to do.

Yon are sober and I am drunk. You can see that I am full of beer and ruin." Bhe told him to call some of tho neighbors. She did not Bee Nathau Vau Sise except through tho wiudow until about 8 o'clock the next morning, when they took his body. Duryoa left about 1 o'clock, aud about 3 o'clock returned with Vau Siso's mother, sister and brother. Sho said it was not true that she went down to tho foot of tho stairs and said, "You follows ought to be ashamed of yourselveB, plaguing an oid nun," or words to that effect; aud not true, as stated by Charles Duryea, that she stood at the of the utairs until Koil came in with the gun.

She did not seo any gun. Tho Bounds uf lighting and quarreling ceased immediately after the shootiug. Sho did not testify before the coroner that she saw Van Siso pick up a chair and strike the defendant with it, be causo sho was not asked about it. Sho did not testify about looking through the basement wiudow, and did not testify about tho defendant getting up out of his chair, nor did she testify that Frederick Van Siso put the chair down and pulled off his overcoat and throw it upon tho floor. She has not spokon to Keil about what occurred that night.

He spoke to her, but she made no reply, because she did not want to talk about it She nover told hor husband what sho knew of the occurrence. She never spoko to Mr. DePuy about tho case. The reason she now teutifiod to occurrences which sho did not testify to beforo the coroner was because she had been told geuorally to state what occurred; while beforo the coroner she was not asked to make a general statement.

How Study Should be Conducted tobg Prolit able. Tho effort to mako a musical Chautanqna of Brighton Beach goes bravely on. In spito of the criticism of the management of the Seidl concerts this year and in spite of tho obvious lack of advertising which thoso fino entertainments have received, the managemont that tho concerts have already taken in more money this year than thoy did during tho whole of last season. The atteuda nco yesterday included a largo number of moinbers of tho Soidl society, who before the concert had listened in tho hotel parlors to a lecture on "Tho Uses of History," by Mrs. Martha J.

fjatub, editor of the Mnymine of American History. Mrs. Lamb was introduced by Mrs. Langford, tho president of tho socioty, as "tho foremost woman historian of tho world." Mrs. Lamb is, as might be expected, a strong believer in tho value and interest of historical study.

But sho does not pretend that history when it is confined to a mero chronological record, or when it is read iu an unsystematic bolter shelter way, can bo much moro than tho stupid mass of statistics and battles which many people find it. Her paper, which ahe reserves for magazino publication and whioh, therefore, cannot be fully reported, was devoted to pointing out tho way in which historical reading may bo most profitably pursued. After tracing briefly, out of compliment to hor feminine audience, the position of woman in history and her relation to it Mrs. Lamb began with a definition of history a little different from that acceptod by tho dictionaries She would define it as "A narrative of past events in which men and woiuon have been concerned." History, sho said, traces the various stages of the development of tho human race, and it interests itself more and more in tho condition of society at large. Events do not happen without a period of preparation; great things do not come to pass without tho agency of great men, and history includes an adequate account of tho hero and of the periods that produced him.

As to the acquisition of historical knowledge, Mrs. Lamb urged that no ono should waste time in vague and disorderly reading. Ono might as well expect to acquiro a knowledge of mathematics by reading a few pages of geomotry ono day and of algebra tho next. Tho chronological tables which so many weary generations of cniid ro 1 1 have been taught are bnt the framowork of history, and one might as well expect to keep off rain with the skeleton of an umbrella as to ox pect to acquire historical knowledge by memorizing such documents. Tho tables aro valuable becauso wo can, if we will, cover the skeleton, and when this is done by the competent historian his work rivals romance in its picturesqueneas and thrilling interest.

History, broadly viewod, Mrs. Lamb said, was an expiation of tho pres ont state of society and of the world. A good way to unravel a skein is to work backward from the things of to day, which we undorstaud, into the immediately preceding causes, and so on back slowly to tho sources of civilization. At auy rate, begin with some subject that you know about and work from that into boiuo of its connected subjects. Tho wiBe student will not begin his chimney at tho top.

How did our pres eut complex society come to exist Why is Long Island different from Mexico? Coney Island is not an accident, but the rosult of a long line of causes. To know history in any adequate souse is to understand iron roads, eloctnc currents, music, summer hotels and tha growth of largo cities. Our social structure is not of our own making and it is interesting to study its sources. Our world is a real world and a slow growth. FactB are tho visililo manifestation of thought.

History includes tho growth of literature and science, and the student of it becomes philosopher. The best preparation for thatitudy is tho power to think. The subject is vast, but' systematic. Pationt study will achieve much knowledge. Tho rain does not fall in columns, but in drops, and 305 hours iu a year devoted to the wise reading of history will accomplish surprising results.

Even tho search for knowledge is compensating. The study of history is a joy and a delight from the beginning. The historian is constantly making new discoveries, oach of which is a delight and recreation in itself. Mrs. Lamb related some of her personal expedience and showed that her lovo of history camo from her childish love of stories aud that it received its first, great impetus from reading Miss Porter's "Scottish Chiefs'' at the ago of 9.

That stilt her through a proternaturally dry two vol nine history of Hcotland in search of information about William Wallace, with very littlo reward. Her roading after that was as belter skelter as that of less distinguished persons, but the solon didly picturesque history of our own country sho did not take up till later. The too common indif ferenco to our own history she attributed to ignorance. She urged the faithful study of local history and the marking of historic spots because no people could be truly patriotic who did not preserve tho deeds of their fathers. Wo certainly cannot know them if wo do not know what thoy were.

The influences that molded our history Bhould not bo unknown. Evor since tbo revolution we havo been tho ceuter of advauced thought, aud our history proclaims its own value. Garrett P. Herviss will lecture next Friday upon "Astronomy." On Monday, Anguat 11, W. J.

Captain Hanlon was determined to koop up the good record made by his team during the prosent sorios and nut in Morris, the south paw cyclono, to oppose Woy hiug, Brooklyn's most effective aud swiftest twirler.

Hanlon reckoned without his host, for, how over effective Jlorris may be against othor teams, his curves wero easily straightened out by the Wonders. Weyhing kopt tho home team guessing, but thoy managed to mako every hit count. Singlo runs in each of fivo innings wore tho sharo of tho Pittsburgs, while Brooklyn started in with a rush in tho first inning, repeated the dose in tho second, but fell off considerably whilo the homo tied the score in the fifth and took the lead in their half of the sixth. Ward's pets were not (0 bo outdone that way, however, and tied tho score in their sixth and Bcored the wiuniug run in the seventh. Bauer led at tho bat for Brooklyn with a three bagger and a single.

All tho Buffalo pitchers except Cunningham appear to be pie for the visiting batsmen. It was hot in tho press box at Washington park yosterday, and this, combined with a new pcr fumo that is being experimented, with led Secretary EbbettB to send down some refreshing supplies of ice cream to the exhausted scribes, and they fully appreciated tho attention. Mr. Cay lor was at the Polo grounds, and hoiiad to put up with tea water. Al JohnBon has changed his mind, and he now will not allow Latham to bo released to tho Cin oinnatis.

Latham iB in Chicago awaiting results. Chris Tou der Ahe holds him under tho old reserve rulo and Johnsbn under tho players' leaaue rule; bo Arlio is between the dovil and tho deep boo. The Wagnor brothers yesterday purchasod Love's stock in the Philadelphia players league club, and thoy now control tho club. Yesterday they mado Bufilnton manager of the team. Larkin, the old Athlotio olub's captain.has beon laid off tho Olovoland P.

L. team by Boss John son, and Tebeau has boon made captain, with Latham as short Btop. Larkin is disgruntled in consequence, Tho Washington club team is now rmi on tho co operative plan. It will last about a counlo of weeks. A dispatch from Buffalo, says: "It has just leaked out that Ellsworth Cunningham, the now pitcher of tho Buffalo players' loague club, was quietly married on Wednesday night to Miss Inez Loaoh, of Moline, 111.

Both wore sohoolmates together. Ellsworth came from Philadelphia to strengthen the Buffalo club. He pitched winning gomes the day beforo and aftor bin marriage, both boing witnessod by his bride." The promaturo Jnbilation whioh followod the announcement that Latham would join tho Cin oinnatis has been turnod to mourning. The management of the Rochester club aro making arrangements to play thoir remaining Sunday games this bcboq in Buffalo. The Methodist Episcopal churoh at Poplar ,0.

Tho evening discourse was entitled "The Three Crosses," having reforence to the crucifixion of Christ. Several conversions havo already been announced and the interest is evidently profound. When tho collection baskets aro paBsed Dr. Adams urgos tho peoplo to bo liberal, claiming that a Bpecial thank offering of at least 10 cents each person should bo contributed in view of tho absence 'of mosquitoos. Iu endeavoring to havo the people gather more promptly when the bell for servico is rune, he remarked that it was of no use to scold Long Island people.

Though generally a little tardy they would get there all tho saino." He relatod an amusing incident concerning the Kev. Phineas Kieo a quaint preacher of the early days of Methodism. Long Island people, notwithstanding his repoatod protosts persisted in coming lata to church. Finally ho remarked that he knew why it was, God, he said, did not create Long Island until tho rest of tho world waB finished. Long Islanders had boon behind hand ever Binco, and would iu all probability come late to Heaven.
