August 4 At the meeting of the Suffolk County Sldepath Commission, held here on Saturday, the most important matter under consideration was the arrangements of the State Sldepath Convention, which is to be held in this county next month.

August 4 Mystery surrounds the disappearance of a man who engaged a room in the Park Hotel, In Central avenue, on July 26, and after staying for one day left and has not since been seen. The police of the Seventy ninth Precinct have $700 in cash, rosary beads, prayer book and some papers In their possession which were found in the man's room.

On July 26 the stranger arrived at the hotel, and after ascertaining the rates for one week, engaged a room, registering as Andrew Egan, New York. James McColiom, the proprietor of the hotel, told the police his guest had the appearance of being a priest, who had apparently come to the seashore to recuperate from some severe mental strain. He did 'hot mingle with the other guests of the hotel and spent most of the time In his room, where he smoked almost incessantly, calling for the strongest cigars the waiter cohld bring. He did not drink while at the hotel nor had he any callers. The man spent' the remainder of the day, July 26, and passed.

the night at the hotel. On Sunday morning he arose and came down to breakfast. After, thai be was not seen again. After breakfast the chambermaids were sent upstairs to straighten up the rooms. Ohe of them went into that occupied by the supposed priest.

In turning over the bedding she found a roll of bills amounting to and the paperB and articles previously mentioned. She took them down to the office and turned them over to Mr. McCol iom, who placed them in his safe, thinking his guest would return and ask for his property. But the man has not put In an appearance yet and is supposed to have wandered off while temporarily mentally unbalanced and was either drowned or lost. A general alarm has been sent out for him.

Soft Coal Particles Aided the Elements In Causing the Intense Gloom. The residents of Brooklyn and the other boroughs of New York were treated yester 3ay to the sight of the' strangest phenomenon In.

the history of the local, weather bureau, only niost ot thorn through a combination of circumstances wir not. in a. position to'fully enjoy the remarkable spectacle that The of midnight at high noon, combined with one of the most severe electrical' storms, were the occurrences, which frightened the timid and necessitated the use oit artificial lights wher ever they are used at night. Altogether, the day might well be compared with the traditional "dark day" of May 12; 1780, when an Impenetrable hung over tho land like a.pall.? v. was o.eioro noon inui um habitants of Brooklyn received' their first intimations that a.

storm was' at At that time a large black cloud became dis tlnguishablc on the horizon in the southwest, which a few moments later entirely nnvplrynpd the citv in thick darkness. There was not the slightest suggestion of a breeze. A heavy stillness' was in the air. Then came the at first, slowly, then in tor rents. Peal' upon peal of bombardment like thunder followed, accompanied by a.magnifi cent'uisplay of electrical sky pyrotecnnic.s.

The tempest raged for twenty, minutes and. then gradually the outlines of the becoming slowly visible. Then the sun broke through the fleeing clouds and the welcome light disclosed the work of the The sudden outburst of the elements found many congregations in church, and these in many cases offered up prayers that the storm might pass them At the. Church of Oiir Lady of Solace, at West' Fifteenth street and Surf avenue, high. mass, was being celebrated by Father Brophy.

A bolt of the electric lignt wires inro me. eunn shocked 'William Devine, "an altar' boy. Achille Carrlen, who was standing in the vestry, was also struck. In other parts of the city the lightning struck with great frequency. The flag pole ipf the armory of 'Troop in North Portland avenue was shattered.

In the Navy Yard the Marconi wireless telegraph station near the Sands street side suffered the loss of Us receiving pole. All over the city many trees were felled, and at 'a late hour this afternoon the Bureau of Incumbrances was still busy opening up obstructed thoroughfares. Many of the telephone and telegraph wires disarranged, and in Wallabout Market the awnings in front of Nos. 1,010 and. 1,013 were both struck.

The rath was not behing the 'lightning in Aa matrB if Toriv have Reported flooded and: in the Eastern the ran was so neavy mat. an iroiiBj.uaiut "at Flushiri'g and Nostraha avenues had to be At Sixtieth street and Eighth avenue the sewer completely washed out the street with its overflow. The same thing occurred in Harman street, between and Irving avenues, in the seeker's on the trolleys and on the boats were in many cases arencneu iu mc and many small boats in; the bay and at "'(Coney Island and sunk by 'the heavy In Prospect Park mimtari! nt iiend birds were founu yes afternoon as the of the killing fnrvp of the downoour. The darkness in' the streets In many sections delayed the trolley cars, where the lights were found to be out of order. Motor men wisely refused to run their cars blindly.

mantle nvpmiB a Ijone Island Railroad train was stopped while the engineer lighted the headlight of his engine. On the river all the ferryboats and many of the smaller craft were obliged' to light their side lights and in many cases the danger lights of the ferry silos were put In use. The darkness was'so intense on the streets in many places that the few unfortunate pedestrians who could not obtain shelter had to fairly grope their way by the fence railings. Objects ten feet away were indistinguishable and all over the ctiy it was impossible to see the' opposite side of the street. Forecaster Emery said this morning that the prevalence of a large number of soft coal particles in the atmosphere aided the elements materially in causing the intense el00?

There was no wind at all. There was nothing to disperse' the thick pair of soft coal smoke hanging over the city and combining with the atmospheric was re i ttTa 1 1 1 nrnM.

Altogether 46 of an inch fell during the day. During the storm the temperature fell from 7o to 68. degrees, reaching the maximum of Tu again at 3 o'clock." From different sources it appears that the tempest with its darkness was merely a local 3 frnTTI itR llOrtil iHoHtrhnnop and. ludeins from its norm easterly direction, probably lost its fury on the Atlantic. The reports of incoming ships will be 'looked for with Interest.

WORSHIPPERS DISTURBED. Two Struck by lightning and Woman Fainted in Church, of Our Lady of Solace. The downpour yesterday completely submerged the thoroughfares In the suburbs and at Coney Island It was exceedingly dark! The storm broke over resort a'l o.ut 11:30 but' fifteen mlnutes' before. that hour the heavy clouds began :t.ci i'attier an'd, darkness1 set 'in. At the Roman Catholic Church' of.

Our Lady' of Solace on West Seventeenth street, special services were when the storm broke. Tenor Tamberlik, soloist of the Chapel, St. Peter's, Rome, as sisted by a trained chorus of twenty apices; was singing when a violent clap of thunder shook the building. it was ciospiy touowea by a flash, o'f lightning and the largp audience in the church beoame panic stricken. One of the altar boys, William D'evere, 11 of West Twenty second avenue, was struck, and badly by the light ning.

Achilli Cinani, 25 years old, of 35 West Fifteenth was also struck and mt Y.n'ur i'PB v'r aid. of Surf avenue and West Seventeenth street, fainted. Father Brophy, rector of the church, did what he could to pacify the big band of worshippers and as he passed up and down the aisle he assured every one in, the building that there was no danger whatever. Some one in the meantime. had sent in a call tor an ambulance and Burgeon Barlow, was.

soon on He attended to the two victims 'of lightning, and after bandaging their burns which, however, were only slight, he them home. The church was "not damaged'; "The island was. In a very short time1 inundated. It has been the opinion of many that a rain generally soaked away in the sand at Coney Island, but instead it lies on Surf avenue for two and three days. The water on mat.

NORTHEAST END IS UNSAFE. Most of the Towns in the "West Indies in Danger From Tidal Waves, Declares Jaggar. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Port de Prance, Island of Martinique, July 10 In an Interview to day, J. A.

Jaggar, assistant geologist to the United States Geological Survey, who has been Investigating volcanic conditions in the West Indies, said: "1 have boen fortunate In Beelng a real eruption before I go. and the eruption of last night, July 0, seems to have been a very characteristic one. Mont Pelco has Impressed me as being much more venomous looking than the Soufriere of St. Vincent. The question has been constantly put to me, do you not think It is finished now, Is not tho danger over? I have always answered: 'The mountain at this moment appears calm, and tho dust columns that one sees from time to time are largely due to landslides from the crater Into the head of Rlvler'e Blanche.

The eruption of last night was to be expected. We may expect many more before so hot and vigorous a steam engine as Mont Pelee comes to "A diagnosis of the real diminution In activity can only be made after the mountain has been watched a year, and all Its movements recorded. After watching events here since May 21, I do not think a single habitation northwest of the line from Bellc fontalne to Vive Is safe to live in at present. I do not think that Carbct, Fbnds St. Denis, Morno Rouge or Basse Polnte are safe at present.

Not that there is any immediate danger, but 1 believe that the action of Mont Pelee is too uncertain for us to be assured that a future eruption may not occur to windward. "The greater part of destruction wrought by the Soufriere In St. Vincent was on the windward or eastern side, and Mont Peleo is In many respects a twin sister of the St. Vincent volcano. I gave the same advice without hesitation at St.

Vincent, although the Soufriere there was much quleer than in Mont Pelee. I know well that causing people to move from all these villages and habitations will produce great inconveniences, but the alternative is a risk of human life. When the mountain is entirely cold, and the people arc protected by a properly equipped experiment station, with devices to signal danger, they may, with certain restrictions, return to the volcanic lands. No city should ever again, however be built on the northeast end of the Island. "I do not think that Fort de France is in any danger from the volcano.

"Most of the towns in the West Indies are equally In danger from tidal waves. It would take an explosion from Mont Peleo o. cuimw.ioij aicuici uimcMoiuun oiuu ouj thing that has happened as yet to make a wave which would harm Fort de France. No evidence exists of augmenting violence in the eruptions hitherto which would lend to the supposition that a Krakatoa explosion Is coming here. In comnarlson Mont Pelee Is rather a volcano."

August 4 A meeting of the Democratic County Committee was held 14 arrangements fir calling the County and Congressional Conventions, and while no definite date was set, it was agreed by all that early conventions were necessary this year. Delegates will confer together and then the dates will be set and the conventions called. The members of the committee were greatly surprised when it was learned that Lawyer George C.

Raynor of Sag Harbor was In the committee meeting with a proxy. Lawyer Raynor has always been regarded as an ardent and life long Republican, and his presence Saturday was at first looked upon with no little anxiety by the Democrats, but explanations were made that the lawyer had transferred his faith and henceforth wanted to be recognized as a faithful Democrat, so he was received with open arms and much rejoicing. In years past Lawyer Raynor has aspired to various offices at the hands of the Republicans, but he has failed to connect on all occasions. His next move In Suffolk politics is awaited with much Interest. WHALEN TRAVIS.

A Methodist preacher in Michigan recently had intimations, just as he entered the church Sunday evening prepared to preach a sermon of tho regulation length, that, owing to the extreme heat, his congregation would welcome a brief sermon. Obedient unto the lay remlnddR 'he arose at the suitable time and said: And ne wJed and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on mo and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue for I am tormented in this flame. "Three persons Abraham, Dives, 'Lazarus It was hot whero Dives was. Ho did not like It. He wanted to get out.

So do wo. Lot us pray!" How Is this for abdication of the prophetic function at the demand of an ease lovinir. comfort seeking laity! Congregationalism at of Six Saloons Doing Business Under the Guise of Hotels Closed Up Tight. STORM DID NOT AFFECT CROWD, Bathing Beach Was Almost Deserted on Account of the Inclemency of the Weather. Coney Island was swept by a severe thunder and rain storm yesterday about noon, but despite the weather more than one hun dred thousand people Journeyed to the re sort to see JUBt what Captain Knlpe, the new commander.

Intended doing to the violators of the law. The visitors noticed some changes last night and it is possible that the notorious resort Is to be cleaned from one end to the other. There were many persons who expected to see a dry Sunday at the Island, but on the other hand it was decidedly wet In more ways than one. Six unfortuntes, who had been previous to yesterday doing business under tho guise of hotels, were put out of business. The places are one story affairs and were, according to the proprietors, hotels in every sense of the word.

The opinion of Captain Knipe differed, however. with that of the proprietors of the resorts and he ordered them to close and remain closed for the day. The places closed included the Za Za Hotel, the "Dude," where a man was brutally assaulted and beaten a few days ago; the Dore Hotel, Kennedy's, the Journal Hotel and the' Holy wood. Captain Knipe made a tour of the island on Saturday night and found many places running under the guise oi hotels when in reality, in his opinion, they, ought not to have been permitted to do business at all. The men who have been driving big advertising wagons along Surf avenue were greatly surprised when arrested for violating the Sunday law.

"Barkers" were also attended to and the proprietors of places who permitted the sidewalks in front of their places to be blocked with beer kegs, boxes and street signs, will also hear from Captain Knlpe. The "barkerB" who have been permitted to do as they pleased all summer were warned yesterday and in the future they will not be so gay. There have been numerous complaints from visitors who have been molested by the "barkers" in front of concert halls and photograph galleries who have been seen to grab people by the arm and attempt to drag them inside the places. Many of the "barkers" have been guilty, it is alleged, of using indecent language to young women who chanced to pass by. The excise law was violated in many places, as usual, but the new commander will know more about the precinct one week from now, and it is likely the stories of his doings at' the resort from now until the close of the season will be Interesting; Every respectable place of Innocent amusement on Coney Island Is to be protected so long as the proprietor keep within the law.

These places were crowded from nrmn until nearly midnight with a gathering which had all the appearance of being respectable, and the performances to be found in them were clean and within the bounds of the law. Captain Knlpe was around tho island all day auu ua itepi a strict watcn on all places 01 a shady reputation. His men under him were also on the alert, as many of them have served under him before and are acquainted with his methods of doing police work. The unuormea men, who have heretofore spent much time In back rooms, will not And Knlpe ao easy as me oiner captains. The bathing beach was almost deserted voa terday because of the severe storm during me morning anu tne Datnmg establishments suffered considerably.

It had been hoped by the proprietors of those places that the remaining Sundays in the season would be clear and warm, so that some money could be made, but there is no getting around the weamer man, ana he dealt out one of the most severe rain storms ever experienced at Coney Island. Thousands of people were on their way to Conev Island when thn ntnrm broke, however, and there was no turning uacK. iae sun, wnicn snone lor a lew moments during the afternoon, started many more thousands down to the beach, and at 6 o'clock the resorts were jammed. The trolley cars were unable to transport the people with any degree of comfort, and women and children were knocked down at the railroad terminals by men and boys who rushed for the cars. On the Culver line tho cars were brought to a stop a short distance south of Neptune avenue and the pas sengers were forced to walk fully a half mile In order to get out on Surf avenue.

The Day at Bockaway. Rockaway Beach, L. August 4 About 10,000 visitors spent yesterday at this resort. The greater number reached here before the storm broke, the afternoon trains carrying few passengers. The early morning trains were crowded, and when the storm broke shortly after o'clock there was a wild scramble for places of shelter.

Dance pa vilions, concert halls and hotels were all crowded. No accidents were recorded, and the police had little to do, as the crowd was an orderly one. Those excursionists who came down in the afternoon remained until late. EDWARD BELL'S WILL PROVED. He lea pies Personal Property Valued at Value or Heal Estate Unknown.
