THJE BEOOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. 3TEV YORK, SATURDAY, AUGUST, 5, 1899. HALLOCK'S MARE CHAMPION. NO METALLIC FXTBNITrjBB YET. CRISIS EXPECTED IN BULGARIA.

IN LONG ISLAND CHURCHES EF Miss Lemke on Trial for Misappropriating Aid Society Money. Brooklyn Amateur Tars Will Begin Their Practice on the Prairie Monday. EIGHT DAYS OF DRILLING. The Boys Will Receive Their Equipment To morrow The Plans Mapped Out. The Brooklyn Naval Reserves are sprucing up just now for their greatest drill.

For eight days or more they will be on hoard the Prairie and go through the maneuvers which the recent war gave them a taste of and which they have sighed for ever since peace deprived them of an opportunity to show their prowess against an enemy. Even in the little chance they had they gave proof of their williugness to encounter danger for their country and their adaptability for the hard work and trials of warfare. The government, however, does not wish to permit the martial spirit they showed or the skill fullness they evinced to retrograde and disappear and so the Prairie has been equipped for a great trip. All day long to morrow the boys will be busy sorting blankets, hammocks and equipments. At A.

M. Paymaster A. R. Pard ington will begin to deliver these things and prepare the reserves for a six months' cruise so that they will be ready for anything that may happen. To morrow night Commander R.

P. Forshew 'will inspect the men and their equipments and see that everything is all right for the practice drills and the cruise. Monday morning at 8 o'clock the Second Battalion, at least 200 strong, will asscmblo at Its quarters in the old Atlantic Yacht Club house to receive its final orders. Then the location of the Prairie will be made known and the boys will either march or be transported to the gunboat, with provisions for the cruise and instructions as to what they are supposed to do. The first four days of the cruise, from the 7th to the 10th of the month, will be spent in organizing the ship's company, explaining the routine of work, the fire drills, general quarters, clearing for action, the life boat drill, how to abandon ship, and the mechanism of the main and secondary batteries.

The main battery of the. Maine consists of five and six inch breech loading rifles, and the secondary battery has the one, three aud six pound guns. Drilling here will occupy all of the time, as many of the boj's are not familiar with the handling of the guns, sighting, training and firing and that particular branch of the service will be thoroughly drilled until everyone is proficient. It was in the firing, aiming and manning, generally, of the guns that the American Navy won its greatest enconlums from the powers abroad, and in the skill of tho men behind the guns lay no little part of the skill that led to the wonderful victory over Spain. August 11, 12, 13 and 15 will be spent in sub caliber practice with the big guns.

This means that rifles will be placed within the muzzles of the heavy guns and the cartridges will not be the usual size until some idea of aiming and firing has been gained. When every man has learned the mechanism and the sighting of the big ones, then the full charges will be used and the boys will have a taste of the real thing. These guns fire projectiles weighing 250 pounds and it takes 125 pounds of powder to give the impetus to these monster death producers. To the novice the shock is terrible when this charge goes off and a lot of fun is expected before the lubbers are in line with the practice. Every man will have a chance at all the drilling.

Each reserve will have to go through the regular routine of work, including the fire drills, the rescue drills, the gun firing and manual labor incidental to action on board a man of war. The Prairie will have had tho Naval Reserves on the Atlantic coast from Maine to Louisiana before she is througn with the cruising mapped out by the government. In every way the trip will be the best week's drill ever given to the Naval Reserves. The Naval Department found during the war that while the reserves of the country were proficient in signalling, in boat work and the ordinary ship routine, they were not at all used to the handling of tho modern naval guns. They never before had modern guns, with the exception of the three pounders and rapid filers used on the mosquito fleets that patrolled the harbors, yet everything to which they laid their hands on was well done and only a little drilling was necessary to make them experts, and so the government believed it was due to the reserves to give them a chance at heavier and more practical exercises in the naval warfare line.

On the Yankee there were a score or more of old hands that knew all the ropes and could teach the novices without much trouble, and so the Brooklyn and New York reserves learned to handle the machine guns well. They are aching to get at the big ones and try their skill. Each man will take with iiim a hammock, mattress, blanket, mess gear, suit of blue, two suits of white working clothes, a white hat, a watch cap, pea coat, oilskins, underwear, to equip him for six months if needed. All the reserves are enthusiastic over the practice cruise and no man will stay home who can possibly get away. The United States Board of Inspection will take the Aileen out to day for a careful examination.

It will go for a trip down the bay and will see that she is thoroughly and well equipped for the Naval Reserves in every respect. HURRY WORK ON DOCK NO. 2. A Large Amount of Material Ordered and Men Will Be Employed Night end Day. To day Civil Engineer Assersou of Brooklyn Navy Yard ordered $100,000 worth ol material to rebuild timber dry dock No.

2. This material consists mostly of stone and cement. As soon as it arrives a big gaug of men will be put to work day and night until the dock Is completed. Assistant Secretary Allen of the Navy Department has taken the rebuilding of the dock under his personal supervision and promised the officials to rush the money along so that Engineer Asserson can have it completed at the earliest possible moment.

Rules of Police Department to Conceal Them Mazet Committee's Efforts to Secure the Books. Until the consolidation, the police of Brooklyn had no objections to make public every record of robbery in the city unless there was some reason to believe that the publication of the facts would In some way Interfere with the ends of justice.

Since the old City of Brooklyn became a part of the Greater New York and the methods of the police force of old New York have become law to the Brooklyn officers, the records of robberies have been kept away from the newspaper men. There is no reason, apparently, for concealing these robbery records except the palpably dishonest one that the police are not disposed to admit that larcenies, burglaries and sneak robberies are quite common. It Is suspected that the Mazet committee is taking up the matter of robberies, on a suggest! nmade In tho Eagle at the time that the force of Brooklyn was consolidated with that of New York and when the rigid rules concernnig the concealment of the robbery reports were brought into play here. In each station there is kept a robbery book, in which all cases of robbery reported to tho police are recorded. It is this record that Mr.

Moss is trying to get, and it is this that he has asked the captains of the Bronx and Manhattan Boroughs to produce when they are called upon. The robbery reports of Manhattan have been concealed from the public so long that the people there have been led to believe that the borough named has enjoyed a very great Immunity from larceny. The Police Department of New York has been vaunted ns the line. t. Just on account of the fact that, the only stories of larceny that found their way into the papers were those which had been cleared up by the police.

In the meanwhile the reputation of Brooklyn was suffering by comparison. Chief Patrick Campbell and. later. Chief McKelvey argued that Ihe policy of giving out all tho robbery reports was better for the public, if it was not for the benefit of the reputations of the police. All of the robberies were given to the reporters and the consequence was that eekly.

or whenever the cheap evening "Extrys" wanted a sensation, the message to the reporters covering Brooklyn affairs was to "Bunch a lot of robberies and head It 'Burgla ies in Thereby this borough got a reputation as a harvest field for thieves of all sorts. If the truth should have been known, It would have been found out that there were more robberies to the square Inch in New York than in Brooklyn. It is not at all unlikely that there will be some legislation ere long making It mandatory tor the police to give out the robbery reports. Usually there is no public Interest lo be gained by concealing them. It is really better for the people to know when there are thieves in their neighborhood.

Then they can make provision to repel the nocturnal Invader. LIFE'S PLEASANT WAY. Be of good cheer: some art Yet strives to east your weary heart; E'en now, as o'er your toil you steam. For you. some neighbor grinds Ice cream.

The introduction of metallic furniture on ships sent out from the Broklyn Navy Yard is not yet an assured fact. Naval Constructor Bowles has not been ordered to purchase such furniture, although he is anxious to fit out the Atlanta in this way when that ship is again put Into commission. The vessel is now being remodeled at the Navy Yard. The department has only authorized him to secure bids or estimates as to the cost, of fitting out the Atlanta with wooden furniture. It is believed that steel or metallic furniture would be an advantage in case of fire on a ship.

QUEENS SALARY SCHEDULE. President Simonson of the Board of Education Objects to a Wholesale Increase of Salaries. (Special to the Eagle.) Flushing, L.

August 5 The general school budget for the year 1900, which was adopted by the Queens Borough Board of Education this week, was this morning forwarded to the Central Board of Education in Manhattan for its approval.

DeHass Simonson, of Newtown and George Maure of Jamaica.

Upon his suggestion the finance committee was directed to go before that body and advocate the adoption of the schedule.

THREE CHARGES AGAINST SMITH Former Partner in a Real Estate Firm Accused of Larceny and Forgery. William H. Smith, 30 years old, was arrested last night at the home of his brother, 410 East Eighth street. Kensington, on a charge of forgery in the third degree and two charges of grand larceny in the second degree, preferred by Charles H. Buckley, 50 years old, of 416 Myrtle avenue.

In the Myrtle avenue court this morning, before Magistrate Teale, Smith pleaded not guilty to the three charges and being unable to secure $2,900 ball was committed to the Kings County Jail until August 10, he having demanded an examination. Smith is a dapper looking young man, who for the past seventeen years has been employed by Buckley Horton, real estate and insurance agents, whose office is at 404 Myrtle avenue. He was employed there from his boyhood as collector and bookkeeper and in the year 1S96 was admitted to the partnership, the firm name then being changed to Buckley, Horton Co. Charles H. Buckley, who preferred tho charge against Uim, is the senior member of the firm and in his complaints against his former partner he makes the following allegations: That on July 1, 1895, Smith, then being employed as bookkeeper and collector for the firm of Buckley Horton, collected the rent from a Mr.

Benjes for the store at Myrtle avenue. The rent amounted to for which he gave a receipt in the name of his employers, but never turned in the money, nor made an entry In the books to the effect that the money had been paid. To a charge of grand larceny in the second degree, preferred upon this complaint, Smith this morning pleaded not guilty and his bail was fixed at $200. The charge against him wae also for grand larceny in the second degree, and Mr. Buckley, as complainant, alleged that on April 4, 1855, Smith collected rent amounting to $27 from Mr.

Frank for a flat at 368 Lafayette avenue. William G. Nicoll being the owner. A receipt was also given for this sum, which was never accounted for. Smith pleaded not guilty to this charge and his hail was fixed at S200.

On the charge of forgery in the third degree. Mr. Buckley alleged that during tho period from March 1 to December 1, 189C, Smith, who was a member of the firm of Buckley, Horton did not keep the Arm's books properly and that about $1,744.22 was unaccounted for. Smith also pleaded not guilty to this charge, and his ball was made S2.500. It is said that Smith's peculations were first discovered by Mr.

Buckley last December and he was Invited to leave the Arm. Upon his promise to pay back all of the money alleged to have been taken by him, he was not prosecuted. But because, as alleged, he has made no attempt to work or pay back the money warrants were issued for his arrest two days ago. Expert accountants have been at work upon Smith's books and thoy allege that his total peculations will reach $8,000. Mr.

Buckley Is greatly broken up over the affair, ns ho has known Smith since he was a boy mid had always taken a fatherly Interest In him. FIRE IN FTJRMAN STREET. Shortly before neon to day a Are occurred on the first Acor of Ihe five story brick building at 347 Furnian street, occupied by Thomas Clarke. The cause of the Are is suoposed to have been an explosion of a gaoolIn3 stove. The damage to the stock Is estimated at $300.

Memorial Window to, the Late Father McKenna in Michael's Church, Flushing. Flushing, L. August A new window of handsome design was yesterday placed in St. Michael's Church at Flushing. It is a memorial to the late Father John J.

McKenna, who was pastor of the church for thirteen years, and Is a gift from the Rev. Eugene Donnelly, who succeeded Father McKenna as pastor. The window Is twenty feet high and live feet wide.

August 5 The troubles that have been long agitating the German Lutheran Church of the Epiphany, this village, came to an open rupture In the court rcom of Justice C.

F. Gittens yesterday, when Miss Adelaide Semke was brought into court charged by Minna Sylvester, the president of the Ladies' Aid Society of the church, with appropriating to her own use about $70 which belongs to the society and the church of which the Rev. Eugene Zwinger has been the pastor for the past year. The aid society was represented by Henry P. Kleth, the Assistant District Attorney of Nassau County, and the defense by Seymour Snedeker.

When the case was called the court room was crowded with members of the church, the women of the congregation being largely in the majority. Several witnesses were called and examined, but the sensation of the day came when one of the counsel asked to have read the minutes of church meetings. Ab they were written In German, it was suggested that Cris Vogelsang, formerly a trustee, be appointed to translate the minutes. Paster Zwinger at once arose and exclaimed, "I protest. He is a dishonest man." Vogelsang jumped to his feet and excitedly shouted: "I'll put you in the coop.

I will send you up to Sing Sing Prison." An uproar at once ensued. Justice Gittens rapped repeatedly for order, which was at last obtained, and the case was adjourned to August 9. Mr. Vogelsang sayB he will bring action against Pastor Zwinger for slander. BODY FLOATED ASHORE.

Rockaway Beach, L. August 5 The body of an unknown man floated ashore at the Point of the Beach shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

On July 27, Herman Winkleseth of Broad Channel found a 15 foot catboat adrift In Jamaica Bay.

In the boat were Ashing tackle, a razor, scissors and eyeglass, an oil stove and cooking utensils. The finding of the boat and the body within a few days of each other and not far from the same place, leads many to believe that the unfortunate man was capsized in his boat and lost his life. The boat also bears no marks whereby identification possible. BURIAL OF A VETERAN. Bay Shore, L.

August 5 John Jack3on of this village was arraigned yesterday before Justice Charles F. Gittens, charged with striking Miss Annie Phelps, the organist of the A. M. E. Zion Church.

Jackson was one of the members of the choir and the other woman who figures in the case Is Miss Mamie Thomas. Until recently Jackson has been paying the organist marked attentions, but when Miss Mamie Thomas appeared on the scene he transferred his attentions to her. A few evenings ago, while Jackson was escorting Miss Thomas to church, he met the organist and a wordy war at once ensued, which Anally led to blows. In her complaint Miss Phelps states that Jackson tore her silk shirt waist and also struck her a number of times In the face. After hearing the evidence Justice Gittens found Jackson guilty and imposed a fine, which was paid.

When Judge Gittens announced Jackson guilty Mies Phelps said, in a loud voice, that could be heard all over the court room, "He's a bad man, and I'll fight him until there is but an inch of him left." Her friends immedlaetly commenced to applaud, and it was some time before Judge Gittens could obtain order. He then had the court room doors locked and flned all those who had applauded for contempt of court. MRS. MOFFETT'S PORCH PARTY. Huntington, L.
