Rlvorhead, L. May 6 Tho chief interest in to day's session of the county court centers In the trial of John Louden of Amltyvllle, against whom seven Indictments were found by the grandjnryfortreatlng insane patients at his place, Louden hall, without a license.

It is the first caso to be tried under the new law, and Is considered of so much importance that C. J. Babbitt has been assigned by tho attorney general to conduct the prosecution. The caso will probably be reached late this after noon or early to morrow. Joseph C.

Mott is on trial to day before Judge Reeve in tho county court on a charge of arson, second degree, in having set fire to his restaurant, in the village of Patchogue, to obtain the Insurance. Chief of the Fire Department Edwin Bailey told of being called to the fire in Mott restaurant Nov. 11 last at about midnight. The witness discovered five separate nres In the building and kerosene oil had been used. The fires were extinguished.

Chief Bailey said he examined the place and found very little of. value there. Henry Miller said that on the night In question the curtains were down, which he had never before observed. Another witness told how the cur tains were nailed down. Arington H.

Carman found a bunch of rags saturated with kerosene all and exhibited them to the court. Mrs. Maggie Miller saw Mott on the day of tho fire carting away some furniture from the place. It looked like the best chairs she said. Charles R.

Smith said that he had issued an insurance policy to Mott two weeks before the fire. The policy was for $1,500, he said, and was made up largely upon the statement that Mott had a soda fountain there worth more than $1,000. Kirk, a boss truckman, told of carting away the soda fountain four months previous. In an outline of the defense, by Robert S. Pelletrau, attorney for Mott, he said that they would prove that several mysterious fires had occurred on the property of G.

G. Roe. That Mott and his wife left the place that night In company. That a man was seen running from the place differing from Mott. That fires were often started in the rear of Roe's block.

Christmas greens, with which the place was decorated, had caught fire and burned, falling to the floor and making the alleged fires. That Mott had $1,000 worth when he insured. That the curtains had been down often. That a rat's nest was found containing burned matches. The trial excites much interest.

Mott Is a young man and a member of one of the first families of Patchogue. Other cases passed npon were as follcws: Charles Hewman of Huntington, convicted of assault In the third degree, sentenced to pay a fine $10. Anthon Bruck ned $30 for selling liquor without a license. Bertha Jaffee and Samuel Jaffeo of Sag Harbor fined and S25, respectively, for violating excise law.

This grand Jury nos given oareiui attention thereto and made as searching investigation as was In their power; and Whereas. This rrand Jury has been utterly unable to obtain evidence which their legal adviser con elders competent legal evidence on which to found an indictment: and Whereas, This grand jury has reason to ueneve that such violations of law have existed. Resolved, That this grand Jury recommend to the sheriff and alHO recommend to the district attorney of this county that they take means by employing private detectives or otherwise to have and present to future grand Juries such evidence as be necessary for the accomplishment of the purpose by this jury, attempted in vain as aforesaid.

That the grand jury respectfully recommend that the board of supervisors of Queens county employ a competent counsel at a stated annual salary, and that the grand jury believe such competent counsel can be obtained for a much smaller sum than per annum, as above recited. The grand Jury further report that a copy of these resoluUons be furnished to the board of supervisors of Queens county.

Brlggs Kneeland, Winchester Burton Rifles Tried by Expert Marksmen at the One, TVo and Three Hundred Yard Ranges.

(Special to the Eagle.) Queens, L. May 6 The first of the Creedmoor tests of armB of American Invention and manufacture held under the direction of the stateV board of arms took place on the state range yesterday afternoon, commencing at about 1 o'clock. These contests follow the' ''tests recently held at the Thirteenth regiment armory, Sumner avenue, Brooklyn, and are part of a general examination being made by the state board for the purpose of selecting a gun for New York state militia superior to any now In use. In making the tests the ability of the weapon to stand hard usage, the simplicity of Its parts and operation and its accuracy and rapidity firing are all taken into consideration. The four rifles tried yesterday were the Savage, Brlggs Kneelaiid, Winchester and Burton, and the test, was lor accuracy.

Two marksmen tried each gun, one a man selected by the maker of the gun and' the other Private W. T. Crane of Company Thirteenth regiment, selected by the board as their expert. results follow: 100 YARD RANGE SAVAGE GUN. Marksman.

Savage, who fired his own rifle habitually, wears eye glasses and was out of practice' at long range shooting and at firing in a recumbent position, the position adopted in all of the above trials.

Sergeant T. J. Dolan, who fired, the Brlggs Kneeland rifle, is commissary sergeant of the Twelfth regiment and twenty years a marksman. He belonged to the American team in the international contests of 1882 and 1883. He has the highest Creedmoor records at all distances.

He says that he was handicapped yesterday by the trail sights of the Brlggs Kneeland gun, which are as thin as a knife blade, and he could hardly distinguish them. Fer dinand Van Dyke, who fired the Winchester rifle, said yesterday was the first time be had ever shot a rifle in a recumbent position and that he had never shot a gun at long distance. George' E. Bryant, who made such an 'excel lent record at the 300 yard range with the gun is a corporal of Company of the Twenty third regiment and a son of the ormorer or that regiment. He has had irood drilling at practice firing during his four years service under the eye of his father.

who has served for over thirty years in the Twenty third. His two brothers, John N. and W. have served fifteen and four years respectively in the same regiment. Private w.

T. Crane has served four years in Company A of the Thirteenth regiment. The first year of his service he won the Alder medal at Creedmoor, the second year the gold medal and the third year the dia mond medal, both offered by the regiment. He also won the state sharpshooters' and marksmen medals. Each maker used ammunition of his own selection and this fact as well as the accuracy of the barrel it was conceded may have enter ed somewhat into the determination of the result of the test.

Commissioners Colonel Albert Shaw, Rob "ert H. Thurston of Cornell and Colonel E. H. Bliss and Secretary Henry E. Abell were present during the contest.

The 500 yard contest took place this morn ing. The Savage gun made a score of 52 points in fifteen snots, the uriggs neeiana, 'Winchester, 61; Burton, 54 and the Blake, a new contestant, 51.

W. W. Howard entertained an audience that filled Schaller'B hall, Cropsey avenue, Bath Beach, last night with an interesting talk on his experiences in Armenia. "Chris tians there," he said, "are worse off than or dinary dogs, for they are tho slaves of the Kurds and the Turks. One Armenian village I know of was taxed a year and the whole settlement was not worth more than as many cents." In speaking of the massacres Mr.

Howard said that each one was a preconcerted and a well arranged affair and was made at the will of the governor of the province. In relation to one In particular he said: "On November 28 In an Armenian village the shop keepers feared there was to be an outbreak and were carrying all their goods Into their houses. The Kurd soldiers assured them that nothing would harm them and succeeded in quelling the alarm. The business men returned and some fifty or sixty of them were called In a council hall ostensibly to discuss some tax question. The village was peaceful and quiet, when at 12 o'clock a trumpet was blown and the soldiers commenced their deadly work like a flash with the cry.

'Down with the Armenians, the Christian dogs." The governor of the province was on the spot and he kept shouting to the soldiers to be active. Some fifteen men of the sixty that had been enticed In the council hall escaped, the others being killed outright. In one hour's time every shop keeper had either been killed or had disappeared. The horrible work was kept up until sundown, when another bugle blast told the men to cease. Some two hundred had been killed, including twenty women and ten children.

After all was over the dead wagon came around and gathered up the bodies. Many a badly wounded wretched being was thrown In to meet the horrible death of being burled alive. In one trench one hundred of those victims were piled and buried." The lecturer gave a description of his visit to the late ruler of Persia, who he thought was a remarkable man. "He was about A3 years of age," said Mr. Howard, "though ho did not look over 45.

His eye was as clear as a child's, showing him to be In perfect health. He was a sportsman and a hunter and a splendid shot. It was said be could hit a silver coin tossed in the air with his rifle ball." Mr. Howard Is a canoeist and is well known at Bensonhurst, where be has stopped many seasons. He is a member of the New York Canoe club.

THANVON MAY" BE INSANE. Angelo Thanvon, an Italian who could not tell the police where he lived and who cannot speak a word of English apparently, was held for the action of the grand jury this morning by Justice Steers in the Grant street police court on a charge of killing John Elfert of Canarsie road and Clarkson street without apparent provocation yesterday afternoon. Garrett K. Remsen of Church avenue and Hunterfly road made the complaint. He claims that Thanvon entered the grounds of Elfert, and although lie two men did not have any words Thanvon picked up a fence rail and beat Eifert over the head with it.

Elfert was carried to St. John's hospital in an unconscious condition, and this morning he died. Thanvon was heavily handcuffed and shackled this morning when Justice Steers read the charge of homicide to He said, through an interpreter, that he hit Elfert on the head with the fence rail, but that he did It because Eifert and others had formed a con spiracy against him, and that It was simply a question of who should die first. He said that he knew Elfert "was not dead, as ae could see him alive now. Justice Steers held him without ball, and asked the jail authorities to have the man examined as to his sanity.

Edwin Patterson What Young People Owe Their Parents and Elders. Their Duties to the Church and the Sunday School. A meeting ot the. All Souls' Universalist league was held In All Souls' church chapel. South Tenth street, yesterday afternoon and was fairly well attended.

The president, Mrs. Dr. J. Coleman Adams, occupied the chair, and Mrs. McVey acted as secretary.

Mrs. Charles D. Sperry was to have read a paper on "The Responsibilities of the Young," but she was unable to be present and in her absence the paper she had prepared was read by Mrs. Dr. Adams.

It is, in part, as follows: "Some one has said that the greatest evil of the American young people is their lack of respect for their elders. It Is a sorry state of affairs if this be true, but I am forced to accept the statement made by one of broader experience and a wider horizon line than my own. It ought not to be such a rare and: beautiful sight to see the young caring for the old and helpless. Young people are prone to selfishness and thoughtlessness and, blamabl as these attributes are, a great share of the responsibility for them lies with the parents themselves. In the greatness of their love they belittle themselves and their rights.

Love and respect of parents are Instinctive, but the love grows the faster if the parents make but the one demand upon their children. The one who respects most, loves the most, and if fathers and mothers would save themselves from much sorrow and disappointment they should demand and receive the unbounded respect of their sons and daughters. The rights, privileges, and responsibilities of young people are of equal number and importance, and the sister who denies her brother the slightest favor in the home makes a grievous mistake and is paving the way to much harm for her dear one. As it Is a poor rule that does not work both ways I would admonish the brother to. bo as mindful of a girl's demands and do his share of conslderato thoughtfulness." Mrs.

E. Edwin Lockhart Patterson read a paper on "The Responsibility of Young People to the Church." She said in part: "There is probably no one here who will refute the statement that the members of a Christian community are responsible to the church.As the words son and daughter Imply a dependence, a duty and a reverence to parents, so the mere acknowledgment that a man or a woman Is a Christian acknowledges a responsibility to the Christian church. Occasionally young people step naturally into their individual responsibility while others have to be awakened to a realization of it. Young folk do not like to be told that they must do church work, because it is their duty. Nine teaths of them will turn their backs when it is tnus presented.

They have such a variety of amusement open to them at the present day that they will not undertake any work unless it be made very attractive. Young people's work for the church begins naturally in the school of the church, where they pass from scholars to teachers. As a Sunday school teacher a young person can meet one of the greatest responsibilities the church offers, and he who endeavors to strengthen this branch of the tree must have patience and sympathy. He must remember that he is only passing along the truth that has been intrusted to him. He must also bear in mind that the study of the lesson of the scholar is not compulsory, which makes it more necessary for him to have mastered it thoroughly before he attempts to Impart it.

Next to Sunday school and overlooking it stands the church stretching forth Its arms to its young people and calling to them to bo regular, punctual attendants at Its services. It asks them to remember that the church of the future will be carried on by the young people of to day and that those who grow up under the workers and toilers of to day can see wherein improvements can be made. The church cannot live without its young people as workers. It needs their freshness and new ideas, their pure lives, bright ideas and 'deft though unskilled hands. The time is coming when the young people must cope with the influx of our great cities of the multitudes of foreigners who have not the training of our public schools, the value of our free institutions, but who.

In a few months may, by casting the ballot they can neither read nor understand, undo years of labor of those who are endeavoring to raise them to a loyal appreciation of tho advantages of the free land. Because of the division of the church into numerous sects it has not seemed practicable to introduce any religious teach ing into our public schools, but for one I hope that the broadening tendency we see today among the several denominations may relegate their many dogmas into the background and that the great essential truths of the religion of Christ may be held up in the day school for the moral welfare of the child and not left to the half or three quarters of en hour on Sundays for these children who enjoy the training of the Sunday school." Between the addresses John Black, accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Daniel T. Wilson, sang in a fine tenor voice, "Last Xight" and "Tell her I love her so." A discussion followed, which was partic! pated in by Mrs. Alvah G.

Brown, president of the Chiropean, the Rev. Dr. J. Coleman Adams and others. It was announced that there will be a neighborhood' meeting of the United Women's Missionary socities In the Church of Our Father, May 20, while the next meeting of the league will take placo the first Tuesday In June.
