To day tie Feast of the Assumption, the most important of all the holy days of obligation in tie Roman Catholic Church, was observed by an unusual outpouring to the churches in Brooklyn and in the Italian quarters "was celebrated with great festal pomp and ceremony. This is one of the days when every Roman Catholic who can walk, or is able to be carried, tries to go to church. The lame, the halt and the blind all drag themselves to' church to day, for it is the one great day when miracles are performed at the few miraculous shrines in this country. "On this day the church people believe that there is peculiar efficacy in the miracle performing relics such as are kept at the Church of St. Anne in Manhattan, the PasBionists Fathers' Monastery in Ho boken and the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes in Brooklyn.

Cripples, who had to be carried; sick persons, with pallid faces and trembling bodies; rheumatic invalids and persons suffering with all of complaints went to day to the shrine in the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, at Aberdeen street and Broadway, Brooklyn. All day long there were prostrate and kneeling forms before the beautiful shrine. Some there were who went dragging their limbs, and came away with light steps and rejoicing. Miracles! Dozens of them, maybe miracles performed by a wonderful faith, but miracles Just the same. To attest to the goodness of Our Lady of Lourdes are many crutches, walking sticks and surgical appliances hanging on the front of the shrine, left there by cripples, who went away cured.

It was a wonderful sight to day just to watch the: crowds pour into the big yellow church, one of the most imposing in Brooklyn, and see them kneel before the shrine, all full of perfect faith. For those people the days of miracles are still here. There was one, a boy from Fort Hamilton, bright faced and happy, walking with all the strength and energy that belong to youth. He was not there for a miracle to be done, but to gaze upon the face of the figure upon which he looked once and was transformed from a weak, rheumatic cripple to what he now. is.

There was adoration in his face today as he knelt before the waxen figure, stepping forth from a grotto in the rocky hillside, all portrayed just like the famous figure in Lourdes. There were no strange miracles to day, but many went there sick and weak and came away telling their friends of the new life that had come into their bodies. The streets were full of miracle talk. From away over in New? Jersey and from Harlem and the Bronx there were hundreds of pilgrims, came for help. One.

woman tottered up the aisle and back to the shrine. She was very feeble, almost helpless. She touched her fingers to the bowl of iater from Lourdes, France, where the vision appeared to little Benedetto, the peasant girl, and then she knelt before the waxen cast of that little girl's vision. She lighted a candle and placed it with the dozens of others flaming before the figure of the Virgin. She knelt in prayer, and then she went over and kissed' the' holy relic.

Presently she went away and she walked as a young girl. I Sweet, crisp flakes of wheat and taalt PNEUMATIC TUBE MAIL Kslpa Him to Keep Cool. 'Force' is a blessing to hot humanity.

He is much venerated by the Italians and they always celebrate his day by a great feast." In the Church of St. Francis of AssiBi at Lincoln road and Nos trand avenue, in the neighborhood of pig town, an Italian settlement, special services will be held to morrow. The feast was celebrated to day in all of the Roman Catholic churches in the Eastern District with the usual ceremonies. The ordinary masses were solemnized at 5 o'clock and the high mass at 8 o'clock. Crowds flocked to the churches and many received comnfunion in honor of the feast.

During the day the faithful made frequent visits to the churches, and before the altars, as is CUStomsrv on this vnrlnno naflHhnQ were made to the Blessed Virgin. the Italian residents of the Eastern District made a special event of the feast, with parades and demonstrations of other characters.

The street itself was thronged with Italians in holiday garb and numbers of people from the district took in the sights and wandered around among the Italians of the quarter. FATHER CARROLL'S BODY HERE. To Lie in State Before Funeral, in Which 300 Priests "Will Participate. All arrangements for the funeral of the Rev. Martin Carroll of the Church of St.

Vincent de. Paul, who' died at Saratoga late on Wednesday night as the result of injuries sustained in a trolley car collision, were completed to day. The body, which was brought from Saratoga last evening, will remain in the parochial residence on North Sixth street until Sunday afternoon, when It will be taken to the church adjoining and lie in state until the following day. The final services over the remains will be conducted at. 9:30 o'clock on Monday morning, with mree nunareu priests participating.

The body of Father Carroll, acconmanied by his sister, Miss Carroll, his niece, Mies Bergen, the Rev. William Maguire, pastor of the Church of the Transfiguration, and the Rev.

H. E. Brady, first assistant of the Church of St. Vincent de Paul's; the Rev. John J.

Fitz elnimons and the Rev. Francis X. Ludeke. A throng of men, women and children had gathered along Bedford avenue and North Sixth street, and the thoroughfares became so congested that Police Captain Short of the Bedford avenue station detailed a squad or men to the scene. They had but little to do, as the crowd had come to pay tribute to the deceased pastor, and their demeanor was consistent with the sad occasion.

The church was thronged during the afternoon and evening, and on the streets stood groups ot men and women silently praying or recall ing the many acts of kindness and the beneficent work that their deceased spiritual adviser had. accomplished. It wa3 shortly after 7 o'clock when the remains of Father Carroll reached the Eastern District, and there were impressive scenes along the thoroughfares leading to the parochial residence on North Sixth street. Men and women knelt In the roadway aad offered up their prayers, and every head was bared as the vehicles containing the body and the little party wended their way slowly to the parish house. The body was placed in the parlor o'f the parochial residence.

The arrangements for the funeral were made at a conference between the relatives of the deceased and the representatives of the bishop. At 0:30 o'clock on Monday 300 priests will chant the prayerB for the dead, after which a solemn requiem mass will be celebrated. The celebrant will be the Right Rev. Charles E. McDonnell.

Eagle Bureau, COS Fourteenth Street. Washington, August IS Advices received in Washington indicate that the beet sugar Senators will continue their fight against, a commercial treaty with Cuba should the President convene the Senate In extra session in November for the purpose of rellev Ing the distressed conditions in the island. Tho opposition will be led by Senator Burrows, who organized the defeat of the measure in tho Senate last winter. In the coming contest the opposition will be waged, on entirely different grounds. Last spring the Cuban measure was defeated for economic reasons.

In the coming struggle the proposition to be advanced Is that a commercial treaty which raises or lowers tha. rate of tariff is contrary to the law, if it is negotiated by the executive branch of the government and ratified by the Senate, the House not participating in the making or the law. It will be claimed that, if tho President, with the consent of the Senate, can raiso or lower the Cuban tariff, the two can, by the same process, revise the entire tariff system. The controversy is an old but it will become mighty Important in tho next session of the Senate or Congress. The fundamental principle involved is' stated in the first paragraph of section 7 of article 1 of the Constitution, which says: "All bills for raising revenues shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senato may propose or concur with amendments as on other bills." Senator Burrows announced before he left Washington that bo would return In tho fall prepared to contend that and tho Senate could not act together to.

raise or lower the Cuban tariff by means of their treaty making power. In a more recent expression he said that he was becoming more and more convinced that it was. important to establish principle that treaties involving changes in tariff laws should take the legislative course of. revenue bills. He pointed out that if the tariff on Cuban goods could bo changed by treaty this same treaty could provide for the ad ministration of new laws.

The treaty might: stipulate that only native products of Cuba be favored, and this would mean the employment of men to remain in the island" to see that products manufactured or grown out of the island were not brought to the island and reshlpped to the United States. In short, if the President and the Senate can pass a taritf law they must provide for the machinery for enforcing it, even if it should mean the establishment of a Cuban inspection bureau. If the Senato and the Preslddent by means of a treaty. Mr. Burrows will claim, can a treaty with France, they can amend the treaty to provide for the erection of an embassy building In Paris.

In fact, if the principle involved In the declaration that revenue bills shall originate In tho House is to be disregarded, tho scope of the treaty making power can be stretched to almost any con celvable limit Tho Michigan Senator is not opposefl to reciprocity itself, but believes the House should participate In the making of necessary laws in tho way provided by the. Coj" stltutlon. Just what form the contest will take Is; not clear in the mind of Senator Burrows and' he does not know who will bo on. his side. A momber of the finance committee, he may ask that any treaty which the President may negotiate with Cuba shall be sent to tho committeo on finance and not to the committee on foreign relations.

He could claim, la addition to other arguments, that it would be contrary to public policy to have the debates on commercial treaties, whtoh involve great business Interests, conducted in execu tlve session, as they naturally would be it referred to the committee on foreign relations and handled as diplomatic Ho would claim that the treaty should go to the finance committeo and open hearings bo given as is proper In a legislative matter where business conitioas are involved. In this contention he would be opposed 'by Senator Spooner, who, at the request Senator Cullom. chairman of the committeo on foreign affairs, prepared an opinion which held that tha foreign relations committeo should have consideration of oommeralal troatles. In this opinion ho also goea into the question of tho right of tha' Houao to participate in thia legislation, ile thinks lower, branch of CongrBsjj haag.atctj1,rjhj) New York Company's Bid of $16,799 Per Mile Includes Branch Lines. SYSTEM TO MANHATTAN READY.

Operating" Plants Between the Two Post Offices in Good Shape to Benew Service. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, August 15 Bids were opened at the Post Office Department to day for contracts for furnishing pneumatic tube mail service in a number of large cities, includ ing the renewal of service in Brooklyn. There was but one bid for the latter con tract, that of the New York Mail and Newspaper Transportation Company of New York, which put in the original tubes be tween the New York and Brooklyn post. offices and had charge of the service until it was suspended in July, 1901, by the failure of Congress to appropriate funds for its maintenance.

The New York company proposes to re new the service at the rate of $16,799 per mile, to Include the branch lines that are to be established between the main Brook lyn office and the postal station at Flatbush and Atlantic avenues, and the extension to Station at Nostrand avenue and Fulton street. The contemplated extension is a little short of three miles. W. A. H.

Bogardus, one of the officers of New York Mail and Newspaper Transporta tion Company, was at the department when the bids were opened. To the Eagle corre spondent he said: "We are prepared to renew the pneumatic tube service between Manhattan and Brooklyn as soon as the department awards the contract to us. Everything is in shape to start the mail tubes at once. The Rapid Tran sit people took up our conduits at various places in laying out the subway, but we have replaced them and completed the circuit. The operating plants at the two post offices are in first class shape, and there is nothing to interfere with the prompt renewal of the service.

I believe the department will give us this contract, as the rate of charge is less than the maximum specified by the act of Congress, which is $17,000 per mile." The other proposals were for furnishing pneumatic tube mail service in New York Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago ana at. iouis, the bias in some instances be ing for renewals and in others for the estab lishment of primary service. There was but one bid for the work in New York City, where the department has laid out a rather elaborate programme. The New York Mall and Newspaper Transportation Company was the sole competitor lor that contract, offering to J.UHUSU me iuoe service on the same rate as proposed for Brooklyn, 516,709 per mile. The companies to bid for the contracts in the other cities were as follows: The American Pneumatic Company of i ue Daccnenor pneumatic Tube Company of Philadelphia, the Pneumatic Transit Company of Philadelphia, the Chicago Pneumatic Service Company, the Illinois Pneumatic Service Company of Chicago, the St.

Louis Pneumatic Tube Company and the Batchellor Pneumatic Company of the District of Columbia. The bids of most of tha companies ranged between $15,000 and $17 000 per mile, but one of the Western concerns demanded as much as $25,000 per mile for its service. Acting Postmaster General Shallenbcrger said that it would probably be three or four weeks before awards are made. Great care will have to be observed in examining and comparing the bids so that the greatest amount of service may be secured within the limits of the appropriation. The money available for the current year, for pneumatic service, amounts to $500,000 and for next vear it is $800,000.

CAUGHT IN PORT GBEENE. Arrest Made as Result of Complaints of "Wealthy Residents. For some time the residents in the vicinity of Fort Greene have been much annoyed by the presence of a disorderly clement in that park at nights. Among others who complained to the Classon avenue police was William C. Booth of 252 Carleton avenue, a brother of Samuel Booth, once Mayor of Brooklyn.

DENTS IN ASQUAB8LE OVER SITE FOR CITY STABLE Former Alderman Ruggles Wants Superintendent Clarke to Locate Somewhere Else. MRS. BAULSIR IS SATISFIED. Owners of Property Near Penitentiary Striving to Settle the Matter.

There is a fight on among the residents of the section of President street, between New York and Nostrand avenues, over the proposition to build a Street Cleaning Department stable in that neighborhood. Some of the residents of the section favor the scheme, while many oppose it, and Superintendent Clarke is having trouble trying to settle their differences. Mrs. S. Baulslr, who lives on President street, near New York avenue, called on Superintendent Clarke this morning and told him that she would be pleased to have the new stable ot the Street Cleaning Department erected near her property.

According to the plans of Superintendent Clarke it is proposed to erect the new stable on Clover road, in the rear of the Kings County Penitentiary. Mrs. Baulsir said there are a number of persons who live in the neighborhood of President street and New York avenue and also own property there who have entered objections to the scheme to build a stable near, there, but she declared that they are always objecting to public improvements. One of those who objects to the scheme, Mrs. Baulsir said, is former Alderman Ruggles.

Mrs. Baulsir said that when Ruggles was a member of the Board of Alderman he had the fire limits extended to the vicinity of President street and Nostrand avenue. Mrs. Baulsir told Superintendent Clarke that she has three lots on President street, near New York avenue, which she has been unable to sell because of the extension of the fire limits. Under the law, as a result of the action of Alderman Ruggles, Mrs.

Baulsir says, she cannot build frame houses on her lots and, owing to the grade of the lots, she declares, the expense of building bi irk houses would be enormous. Because of these restrictions, she says, she cannot sell her lots. Mrs. Baulsir has been going about among her neighbors getting them to 3lgn a petition to the city authorities, asking then: to build the new Street Cleaning Department stable on the site, near the penitentiary, which is only a couple of blocks awa from her home. Mrs.

Baulsir told Superintendent Clarke this morning that she had obtained many signatures to the petition and she declared that it would be the best thing that could happen for the unimproved property in tho section in which she lives if the city authorities would erect the new stable there. Former Alderman Ruggles has not been Idle while Mrs. Baulsir has been circulating the petition among her neighbors. He also drew up a petition and has been circulating it among the property owners In the vi cinity of President street and Nostrand avenue, where he lives. Alderman Ruggles' petition protests against the proposition to build the new stable on the penitentiary site, on the ground that it will injure property in the section aud cause taxpayers to move away.

Alderman Ruggles is said to own considerable property near President streot and Nostrand avenue. Alderman Ruggles has secured a number of signatures to his petition, and it is said that he will present it to Superintendent Clarke in a few days. Mrs. Baulsir told Superintendent Clarke that the persons who have signed their names to former Alderman Ruggles' petition always have objected to public Improvements which did not directly benefit themselves, and she says that nn heed should bo paid to their protest. Superintendent Clarice is inclined to favor the penitentiary site.

"We hove got to build this stable somewhere," he said this morning, "no matter how many complain. Every site mentioned has brought forward objections and it is about time that thero was a let up. I think the penitentiary site is a good one. It will increase the value of property and will afford people a chance to build homes for themselves. There is plenty of unimproved property up that way." SAYS SHE WAS ASSAULTED Two Employes Held on Charges Made by Rose Pendleton, a Pretty Mulatto.

SCREAMED AND WAS RESCUED. Second Complaint of Attacking Women on the Boat Made 'Within Two Days. The story yesterday of the assault on Mamie McCaddin of 279 Jerome street, by some of the employes of the steamboat Laura M. Starin, while she was on an ex cursion on the boat to Forest Grove, was followed last Dight by a similar tale told by another young woman, who claimed that she had been assaulted In like manner by two of the deck hands of the boat. One of the engineers, who was subsequently set at liberty, had been arrested on the boat just as the vessel was about to leave the Bridge Dock yesterday morning, on the charge made by Miss McCaddin's father.

The arrest of the engineer delayed the outgoing of the excursion yesterday, and Captain Savage was forced to telephone for another en gineer. In the meanwhile the members of the Bridge Street A. M. E. Church and their friends, who were out for an excursion on the boat and four barges up the Sound, be impatient.

It was noon before the boats started. Two colored policemen, Officers Cobb and Paton, were on board to aid in preserving order, although there was a Sabbath Day peace during the entire day among all of the excursionists except one. That one was a very pretty mulatto. Rose Pendleton, aged 25 years, of 42 West Thirty ninth street, Manhattan. She enjoyed herself until nearly 10 o'clock last night with the other excursionists, but as the boat was approaching Hell Gate, she says, she was assaulted by two ot the deckhands, who dragged her into a room near the engine room and locked the door.

Two men who had been pointed out by Mrs. Pendleton were arrested by tho two officers named. They proved to be Edward McLaughlin, aged 19 years, ot 23 Little street, Brooklyn, and John Martin, aged 19 years, of S6 Hudson street, Jersey City. This morning they were taken before Magistrate Dooley in the Adams street court, but the evidence showed that if an assault had been committed at all It was within tho jurisdiction either of the Manhattan authorities or those of Queens Borough, and the officers were sent across the bridge with the complainant and their prisoners. They went later to the Tombs Police Court, where Me Laughlln and Martin were held in $1,000 ball each for examination to morrow.

Mrs. Pendleton's story differs somewhat from that told yesterday to a reporter by Miss McCaddin. The colored woman says that she was abused while was looking for a glass of water. The excursion had been delayed in the morning and It was nearly 10 o'clock last night wm the boats returned to the Bridge Dock. The Starin was nenrlng Hell Gate, according to Mrs.

Pendleton, when she asked one of the deck hands where she could get a glass of water. He led her downstairs, and before she could realize her danger, she says, he dragged her into a room and another man. who was there, locked the door on the Inside. She screamed for assistance and made such a noise that one of the men fled. Then she was rescued.

LIFE CRUSHED OUT BY CAR. Frank Lehtiuo, an Italian Lad, Fatally Injured "by Trolley on Flushing Avenue. Frank Lebtino, an Italian boy, 10 years old, of 241 York street, was run over shortly before 6 o'clock last evening at the corner of Flushing avenue and Cumberland street by car No. 3,065 of tho Flushing avenue line, going east. Reports differ regarding the manner in which the accident occurred.

According to Information received by the police, the boy Jumped from a wagon on which he was taking a ride and fell in such a way that the rear wheels of the car passed over him as he lay with his face downward across the track. It took at least fifteen minutes before the unfortunate lad could be extricated from beneath the car. Life was not extinct when a surgeon from the Cumberland Street Hospital arrived. The little fellow was removed as Bpeedily as possible to the hospital where death put an end to his sufferings shortly after. Patrolman Michael Connors of the Fluen ing avenue station arrested Motorman Anthony Bosso.

He is 29 years old and lives at 591 Central avenue. Bosso was arraigned on a charge ol homicide, before Magistrate Furlong, in the Myrtle avenue court, to day. He pleaded not guilty and was held in $1,000 bail, which was furnished by the railroad company. OBITUARY. Captain Peter Finney.

FIRE IN ASPHALT PLANT. At 12:30 o'clock this afternoon a fire broke out on the roof of the two story frame building of the Brooklyn Alcataraz Asphalt Company, at 'Third avenue and Third street, on Gowanus Canal. The first alarm was followed by a second and soon there was an ample force on the ground. The flro was wholly subdued in a short time. The damage will not exceed $2,500 'r' "I feel all right now, the Blessed Lady has, made me well," she said to everybody she on the streets.

Only a few minutes had' passedi hut here was an entirely different woman from the one who had gone into the church. It was like a miracle of the days of Christ. The woman told an reporter that her name was Mary Raymond, and that she lived on the outskirts Ho hoken. She was only one of many that gazed upon the figure and went away believing that better health had come. In the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes are other shrines, and there were kneeling forms before them 'all.

It is a great church, or at least is coming to be great, among the Catholic people of Greater New York and adjoining cities. It has not the fame of St. Anne, nor has it so many miracles to its credit as the Pas slohlst Fathers' Monastery in Hoboken, but It Is new as yet. It is the only Catholic church in Brooklyn possessing a shrine that is generally regarded as miraculous. Solemn high mass was held at the church at 10 o'clock and there were five other masses just as on Sunday.

Father Porcile, the rector, is in Rome with a pilgrimage he led to the Vatican in honor of the Pope's centennial and the services were in the hands of his assistants. At all the other Catholic churches there were the regular Sunday masses, except in a few Instances when the scarcity of priests made it necesary to cut out some of the masses. Few churches had less than four services. In the Italian quarters It Is a great holiday. The streets are hung with flags and bunting and strung with the little colored glass cups so common in Italian festivals.

The Italians always celebrate the day by a great feast, while the English branch of the church might be said merely to observe it. The South Brooklyn colony of Italians, which is about the largest single colony in America, transformed their section in honor of the day. For blocks and blocks the streets are a maze of brilliant colors, flags, bunting, lanterns and everything to make up Italian gaiety. Services were held through the day at Father Vogel's church, the Sacred Heart, at 35 President street. Over, in Williamsburgh, the Italians celebrated the day with unusual fervor and zest.

There were masses all through the morning at the North, Second street church, in charge of Father Saponara. The Church of Our Lady of Pompeii, at 172 Humboldt street, Father Lopomo's charge, also had an unusually large celebration. St. Michael's Church, at Lawrence and TI1 lary streets, is always the center of a festive neighborhood on feast days, and to day it was surrounded by big crowds of gaily dressed Italians, among them hundreds of little children attired in riotous colors. The old church building was almost hidden behind Its decorations.

There were the regular masses thero and the high mass at 11 o'clock, at which Father Garofalo officiated. There will be the regular vesper services at all of the churches. The parade on Lawrence street was a feature of the day's celebration, A blatant bund led the parade, and after the procession had broken up, the band made music In a stand erected for that purpose. Strange to say, a very unusual dispensation for to day was overlooked by most of the churches. For the second time in the life of the present Pope it was made permissible to cat meat on Friday, yet very few Catholics knew of this dispensation.

It was very welcome to those who knew of it, for yesterday was a fast day, and two fast days together are not agreeable to a hungry man. Once before when the Feast of the Assumption fell on Friday, the Pope granted a dispensation releasing all of the faithful, not bound' by any especial vow, from the obligation of abstinence from flesh meat. This year an audience was had with the Pope on the subject and the same dispensation was made. It was not published until a few days ago, and consequently it was not generally known. In some of the churches it was announced last but in the majority the members did not know they could eat meat and they breakfasted this morning just as they do on regular fast days.
