FURNISHED ROOM TRUST. Pleasant Prospect for Visitors to Philadelphia During Encampment. There 1b a corner In Philadelphia's furnished room market. During the encampment quotations will rule high. As the crowds increase a feverish tone may be expected.

When the tide of visitors reaches the flood prices will soar and the bull element will be in full control. Visitors to the Grand Army encampment and the National Export Exposition who have not engaged accommodations are at the mercy of a trust which controls nearly all the rooming accommodations In this city. About two months ago the work was begun in a very quiet way and a complete canvass made of all the boarding houses and rooming houses located in de Birablo parts of the city. At this time the encampment and the exposition had not been widely advertised and people with vacant rooms willingly signed contracts to reat their rooms at moderate rates during September. When the trust had secured almost all the available rooms in desirable parts ot the city advertisements were inserted in newspapers from Maine to California, and business began to boom.

Apartments in most of the hotels had been engaged. About this time a suave agent of tho trust called on the managers of the principal hotels and made a sort ot reciprocity agreement. Letters without number from all parts ot the country were being received by the hotel keepers, Inquiring for rates and reservations during the encampment and exposition. The hotels were booked for these dates and gladly took advantage ot a proposition made by the trust. Most of the hotels in the city can feed twice as many persons as can be provided with rooms.

Taking advantage of this fact the trust proposed to tho hotel men that letters of in nntTv from Dersons who could not be accom modated be turned over to them. In exchange the trust promised to locate near the hotels the persons from whom the inquiry was received. By this plan the hotels would have a good chance of feeding many people they could not otherwise accommodate. Most ot the hotel men accepted this plan to Increase their incomes, and relieve themselves ot the bulk of their correspondence. A North American reporter sought out the trust yesterday, and located the manager in an office on Arch street.

The manager welcomed and dismissed the reporter with a smile. After a brief talk it became apparent that the trust was doing a wonderfully philanthropic work. Like other trusts, this one claims to be organized to savo the public money. During tne conversation the manager said: "We have leased outrisht and hold options on nearly 10,000 rooms in Philadelphia." To prove this statement he displayed package after package ot contracts, arranged according to the location of the Infoitnation regarding the profit the trust hoped to realize from the venture was smilingly declined, but the reporter was assured that the margin of profit was very small. As the reporter departed the trust began to dictate a letter to an old gentleman in Kalamazoo who desired board for himself and a family of flv? during the encampment at a Tate not exceeding $2 a head for the week.

The old gentleman muBt prepare to increase his offer or his chances oi getting accommodations' will be poor. Philadelphia North American. A TRENCH COURT MARTIAL.

August 31 Title to 190 acres comprising Harbor Hills near Roslyn, was passed yesterday, and the deed filed for record In the county clerk's office of Nassau County.

Is That Portion of Hempstead Cut OS From the City Still in QueensP Jamaica, L. August 31 County Clerk Sutphlu of Queens County says: "I shall make no call for an election in that part of the Town of Hempstead cut off from the City of New York by the Doughty act last winter, nor shall I lBSue a call for an election of supervisors said to be rendered necessary by the act until I get an order from the court directing me to do so." A friendly suit is now being prepared for submission to the courts at an early date. There is quite a diversity of opinion among lawyers as to the full effect of the wording of the act, which, it is alleged, falls to make any division of Queens County, and In falling to do this leaves a portion of Queens County outside the city, thus requiring the maintenance of a board of supervisors. Counselor Henry A. Mohfort says: "The act was evidently very bunglingly drawn, but possibly would be broadly construed by the courts should a suit be brought in the matter." NATIONAL COMMITTEE T.

MARKSMEN PBESS THE BUTTON. A new triggerless and hammerlesB gun that has been Invented by a man named Thompson of Birmingham, England, if it fulfills all that is expected ot it, should become popular. Instead of pulling a trigger one presses a button.

Tho mechanism of the lock is of the ordinary hammerlesB character and is worked by a button, which Is fitted in the small part of the stock protected by a light guard similar to those used for hammcrless guus. Thero only one button for a double barreled gun and by an ingenious arrangement it can be worked to fire both barrels right and left or left and right, as the case may be. The Idea of replacing the trigger by a button Is not original, but It seems that no one has been able to carry It out practically heretofore. Buuffalo Water From a Depth of 383 Feet Boiling Up 25 Gallons a Minute AT A LONG BEACH DRIVEN WELL More Wells to Be Sunk to Utilize the Apparently Inexhaustible Plow. Probably From Connecticut.

(Special to the Eagle.) Long Beach', L. August 31 The well whtoh has been put down west of the depot here has attained a depth of 383 feet and an apparently Inexhaustible vein of pure water has been struck. At the depth of 367 feet a body of water strongly impregnated with iron and sulphur without traces of lime was struck and samples were taken for analysis. Before a report was received from the chemist the pipe was sunk 16 feet further and pure, dear, sparkling water was again reached. "Water from both the strata came up and boiled over the top of the pipe at the estimated rate of twenty five gallons per minute.

The present well will be used to supply the hotel and cottages with drinking water and for culinary use. Another pipe will be sunk to the level of the strata of the mineral water and It will be utilized for medicinal purposes. The fact that an apparently lnexhiustible stratum of water has been struck 383 feet below tho surface is considered of the greatest Importance, as It seems to substantiate the theory of subterranean rivers flowing from tho hills of Connecticut. There must be a great pressure upon the water to force It up 383 teet through a pipe, so that it will boll over at the rate of twenty five gallons per minute. The contractor has persisted in going down with the Well, although his friends have predicted its total failure, and he Is greatly elated at his success.

Paul K. Ames of the Long Beach Association has presented samples of the water at the different depths, and is having them examined by competent chemists. The well has passed through a great variety of material, ranging from beach sand to tough clay. The water bearing stratum is of coarse sand, underlying a bed of red clay ninety feet In thickness. Mr.

Ames thinks that this bed of clay is the proof of a subterranean lake and holds down the water, and probably extends In a parallel line with it to the source of supply, causing the artesian effect. He thinks by putting down a number of pipes an unlimited supply of water may be obtained. Already the overflow from the pipe has made quite a little brook, which flows through the sand to the bay. SIGN'S OP AN EARLY PALL. Hewletts, L.

August 31 The present cold nights tend to verify the prediction of an early fall followed by a severe winter. All sorts of fruit and vegetables have ripened at least a week earlier than usual this year. Early planted corn in some places is already ripe enough to cut, a very unusual thing in this vicinity. All sorts of melons have matured quickly and pumpkins are in many places as yellow as they usually are two weeks later. The growth of vegetation of all kinds, but especially of corn and fodder crops, has been phenomenal.

One of our large farmers shows a stand of fodder corn which literally covers the ground, which he claims has grown from six to eight feet in height since the Fourth of July, when it was planted. This rapid growth and early maturity of vegetation is said to be a sure sign of an early and hard winter. STJPFOIiK PACTORY INSPECTION. Riverhead, L. August 31 Deputy Factory Inspector William D.

James for a summer emc Bought by Mrs. Clarence Mackay and No More Burials to. Take Place There. IT WAS TOO NEAR HARBOR HILL Has Purchased a New Site for the Church and Will Bear the Expense of Removing: Bodies. (Special to the Eagle.) Mineola, L.

August 31 The question as to where the new cemetery of the Zlon A. M. E. Church, at RoBlyn, shall be located, has been settled after several weeks ot bitter con troversy. The future burying ground of the colored people of North Hempstead will be in the new Greenlawn Cemetery, at Pine Lawn, Long island.

The question was finally settled by a majority of the members of the church signing consents, which were filed In the county clerk's office here yesterday. This re sult was not brought about without considerable work on the part of those members of the church who were In favor of a speedy settlement of the question, nightly meetings be lng held In the church at Roslyn, at which some very heated debates were indulged in. The location ot the cemetery lay between Pine Lawn and a plot of four acres on the farm of George Pearsall. one of the deacons In the church. Many of the members favored the purchase of the Pearsall plot, and for a time It Jooked as If they would win.

But Mr. Pearsall himself practically put an end to the discussion by declaring that owing to the opposition on the part of his neighbors he would not sell his land for cemetery purposes. The owners of the adjoining property also took a hand in the fight and gave the church people to understand that they would oppose any application that might be made to the supervisors of Nassau county for permission to acquire land for cemetery purposes at that place. The cemetery at Roslyn comprises about two and one half acres of land of little value excepting to those who are anxious to have the cemetery abolished. The land adjoins the Harbor Hills, which have been purchased by Mrs.

Clarence Mackay, and the latter made an offer which has been rejected by the church people, who demanded $8,000 In cash. After considerable dickering, during which the lawyers acting for. Mrs. Mackay offered to bear the expense of the incorporation of the church society, the trustees of the church agreed to eell the land for $882 In cash, on condition that the purchaser defray all expense of removing the bodies and provide a new cemetery as well. In accordance with this agreement eight acres at Pine Lawn were purchased by Mrs.

Mackay and deeded to the Zlon A. M. E. Church, and a guarantee was also given that the funeral parties from Roslyn to Pine Lawn would be conveyed by the Long Island Railroad at the rate of $1 for the corpse and 50 cents excursion for mourners. It was after the record of sale had been filed with the county clerk that the row over the selection of a new cemetery began, and It is probable that a settlement Would not have been reached yet, in spite of the difficulties In the way of locating In the Town of North Hempstead, had it not been for the fact that the present cemetery was beyond the Jurisdiction of the church and no more hur lals could be made there.

(Special to the Eagle.) Sag Harbor, L. August '31 The. oldest house In Sag Harbor is situated on Church, street, nearly 'opposite Masonic Hall. It was built on Shelter Island by an early Bet tier named William Steward and was in .1765 presented by him to his daughter Zervlah, the time of her marriage to Davie, Hand Easthampton, who subsequently removed It Poxabogue, a hamlet four miles south of Sag Harbor, and at once set up housekeeping. Their first son, Gideon, was born oa October 10, 1754.

Gideon was in tho Revolutionary war and with Washington at the crossing the Delaware, and his sword and bullet mold are now in possession of the writer. Of the numerous offspring of Gideon Hand, his grandson, Andrew Jackson Hand, alone remains and at his death the Hand family the line of Gideon will become extinct. The second son of David and Zerviah was named Josiah, born September 30, 1756, and he also was a soldier of the Revolution. After, the war he ran a brick yard, furnishing the" finest brick for the best houses of Manhattan Island. Josiah Hand's offspring in the male line have all disappeared.

David's third son of Revolutionary fame wa born on May 21, 1759. His name was David. He sailed In privateers during the war and IN SAG HARBOR. a Wedding Gift for His Daughter. was a prisoner on the Jersey Prison Ship of Wallabout Bay.

During the war of 1812 15, when Commodore Hardy attempted to take Sag Harbor, Captain David Hand, assisted by his son in law, Oliver Slate, loaded the 18 pounders in the fort on Turkey Hill with pieces of iron, old horse shoes, and it was said killed a lot of the British, who beat hasty retreat and buried their slain beneath the willows on Gull Island, where an oaken slab for many years marked their graves. David was a noted family man. He bad five wives and was the grandfather of Captain David Vail, a noted sea captain ot thla port, and of Thomas Vail, and also of Mrs. Susan Gleason, and greatgrandfather of lots of little Vails, Tookers and Hildreths. To the Sag Harbor folks ct the period he was the beau ideal ot a gallant soldier and at all the Fourth of July parades and town meeting times he had the place of honor.

The fourth son of David and Zerviah was Sylvanuo, born March 10, 17C2. Their fifth son was Captain Silas Hand, the writer's grandfather, born June 5, 1764. He was also in the war and sailed in privateera and later commanded cnerchant ships from New York. Silas Hand's children were Sylvan us, Watson, David, Jeremiah and Timothy Pierson Hand, the writer's father. Tho sixth son of David and Zerviah was Captain Isaac Hand; born November 5, 17C0.

Ho sailed from Sandy Hook in a privateer and was never afterward heard of. He was on board the first vessel that opened up trade between the colonies and the West Indies. His daughter married a New York merchant named Napier and was the grandfather of Dr. Napier now of New York. Their seventh son was Strangor, born November 8, 1769, and then came Nathaniel and Abraham.

The old house, like all houses of that period, fronted the South, thus often interfering with the artistic points ot the edifice, as the door was sometimes seen at the end of the long low leanto. and quite near the street. A specimen of this odd architecture of former times, may yet be seen, nearly opposite and across the street from the large Papperage tree at Poxabogue. When moved to Sag Harbor It was located where the residence of Banker Kiernan now stands. When the house in its new quarters was completed, it was the admiration of the surrounding villagers, who often came to take their plans from it when about to build.

The old house was for years, occupied by David, who gave it to his sun, Captain David, noted sea captain, who sailed in the famous old ship of Lafayette the Cadmus. At one time, while at the Island of St. Helena, ho came near rescuing Napoleon from the English. Napoleon afterwards presented as souvenirs two beautiful cut glass tumblers to Captains David Hand and Barney Green. The one proeonted to Captain Green was owned by the Captain's son in law, the late E.

A. Carpenter. Tho old house is still In an excellent stato preservation. When Captain David built his new house, which is now owned by Mr. Kiernan, he gave the old house to Abraham Vail, his father ln law, who gave it its last move, to the rear end of his lot, where it now stands, and is at present owned by Nathan Pierson Hand, a descendent of a long line of old settlers and Revolutionary heroes, ot whom Sag Harbor Is still proud.

WASHINGTON'S MEMORIES. He Recalls the Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation. Booker T. Washington was born a slave la Virginia, not long before the breaking out ot the war. It seems strange that a man who is so widely known to day and Is so universally respected as Mr.

Washington, when aslced how old he Is should be obliged to reply that he does not know, yet such Is the case. The birth of one or more black babies on a large plantation at that time was a matter of too little moment to have sufficient notice takea it to accurately fix the date. He was a boy old enough during the war, though, to know something of the struggle going on around him, for, speaking In public of Lincoln once, I heard him say. "My first acquaintance with our hero wa this: Night after night, before the dawn ot day, on an old slave plantation In Virginia, recall the form of my sainted mother bend lng over the bundle of rags that enveloped ray body, on a dirt floor, breathing a fervent prayer to heaven that 'Massa Lincoln' might succeed and that some day she and I might bo free." Another incident of those days I have heard him tell of in these words: "Word was sent over the plantation for all hands to come up the big house. We went, and to us men, women and children gathered in the yard some one standing on the veranda read a paper.

I was too young to understand why the men and women around me should have begun to shout 'Hallelujah! Praise de when the reading was finished, but. my mother, bending down to where I was clinging to her dresB, whispered to me that wo were free." From "Tuskegee Institute and Its President," by M. Thrasher in Appleton's Popular Sclenca Monthly tor. SoDtomar.
