W. T. McElveen a Disciple of Dr. Parkhur3t. CANVASSED THE STATE FOB HIM.

Branches of the City Vigilance L.eaguo to Be Established in Every Town and Hamlet Opposed to Consolidation. Will Probably Accept a Call to Brooklyn To Celebrate the Seventh Anniversary of the Epworth League. The Rev. W. T.

McElveen, who has just been called to tne pastorate of the New England Congregational church, South Ninth street, in the eastern district, has been acting as chairman of the campaign committee of tha City Vigilance league of New York, of which the Rev. Dr. Parkhurst Is president. "I became connected with the league some four years ago," the Re Mr. McElveen said to a reporter of the Eagle yesterday.

"It differs somewhat from the Society for the Prevention of Crime, although Dr. Parkhurst Is president of both in respect that our work is not exactly in ferreting out crime, but in educating and helping young men to a knowledge of their correct political duties." Within the last few weeks, the Rev. Mr. McElveen was commissioned by the Rev. Dr.

Parkhurst, president of the City Vigilance league, to make a tour of the state, ylth a view of unifying the smaller communities in the work of the league. Upon this mission the Rev. Mr. McElveen has made a tour ot tho state, and after studying the situation carefully has framed an outline of the best plan of procedure. "Our object is to have branches throughout every town and hamlet in the state," Mr.

McElveen said, "and in the course of another year we will have a state as well as a city organization. It is a very serious question with us what will be done regarding Brooklyn We have this difficulty that we do not want the people to feel that we are seeking glory The duty has been thrust' upon, us in New York, and as far as I am concern ed it has been thrust upon me by surroundings." As regards consolidation, Mr. McElveen said that as chairman of the campaign committee, he had recently signed a protest against the consolidation bill. The Rev. Mr.

McElveen has been pastor of the North New York Congregational church for six years. The sixth anniversary of his work there was celebrated by an entertainment in the church last Friday evening. It is probable that he will accept the call extended to him by the New England Congregational church, although he has not finally decided. The Rev. Mr.

McElveen was born In New York city. His father was a Scotchman and a former member of the Scots Grays regiment. Mr. McElveen. came to this country in early life, was an instructor at West Point and took part in the war of the rebellion.

The students of Pratt institute who arc taking the regular art course gave a fake exbibi tiod on Thursday ovoning in the gymnasium oonnected with tho There were fifty or more picturoshung up without much regard to merit, the worst ones having tho most prominent places.

In fact, tho artist who violated most of tho accepted tenets and traditions by which tho great masters have been bound received the most consideration. Not only were the pictures fakes, but tho ar tists signed fako names. Thus a bicycle poster had the name Maxwheel Porish signed to it because Maxfiold ParriBh recently won. first prize in a recent bicycle poster competition. One ot tbe pupils of Instructor Rose contributed a caricature on one of the latter's works sent to a New York exhibition and affixed a full blown artificial rose as a signature There were other interesting daubs, and tho students had considerable fun over them.

The pictures were sold at auction by Mr. Koycs of the lifo class, who added a great do.il to tho merriment by his witty Buying. Quite a sum was realized, which will go toward tho establishment of a free scholarship. There was a musical and dancing. The success of the affair was largely due to Miss Lila "Worran, chairman of tho entertainment of committee: BOYS' WELCOME HALL.

EXCELLENT RESULTS SHOWN OF WORK DONE THERE. Boys' Welcome hall, 185 Chauncey street, held its third anniversary on Tuesday evening last. There were a great number of interested friends present. The singing and speaking wero good, but the greatest attraction was a chorus rendered by some of the boys, who regularly attend the hall. Work done by the sewing school girls was on exhibition and showed by its wonderful neatness the important and useful knowledge that is being imparted to the seventy five girls on the books of the class.

The secretary's report was encouraging in every department and spoke of increased attendance, with much faithful work on the part of the helpers. The religious services have been well attended, with good results in many cases. One speaker said he did not believe in all the United States bo large an amount of good could be shown to be accomplished with so small an amount of money as has been expended at Boys' Welcome hall, and that he would be one of twelve to pledge $50 a year to help support the work, if eleven more would do likewise.

Slapothcr, 421 Tenth Brooklyn, History of St. John's Episcopal Parish, Parkville. THE FIRST CHURCH WAS A BARN. After Brooklyn Was Given a Bishop the Congregation Grew and the Church Thrived Mrs. Mary Tuni son'One of Its Early Benefactors Next Season's Programme of the Twenty sixth Ward Y.

M. C. A. The village of Greenfield, or, as It is now called, Parkvfl'le, was originally laid out by a land company away back In the '50s. Tho inhabitants were few and far between, but early In the history of the place a movement was started to build a house of worship, the nearest one heing in Flatbush, so on September 28, 1859, a few of the residents met a't the house of William Matthews and incorporated tlhe St.

John's P. E. church, with the following officers: George W. Close and William Matthews, church wardens, and Messrs. Lawrence Powers, Henry Wiggins.

B. S. Hilton, James Sutherland, John Marchent, William States, John V. N. Bergen and Walter Kelsey, vestrymen.

Services were first held in the public school building on Lawrence avenue by tho Rev. THE REV. WILLIAM E. SAGER. Mr.

Burge. but since deceased. He was followed by the Rev. Messrs. Remington Edger ton and others at intervals, as often as their services could be obtained.

Long Island was at that time part of the New York diocese and the little church in Parkville received scanty attention until Long Island was made a separate diocese, when, through the efforts of the late Rev. R. B. Van Kleeck, D. rector of St.

Paul's church in Flatbush, it received renewed energy, the parish being represented at the primary convention. This convention met in the Church of the Hdly Trinity, in Brooklyn, on November IS, 1S6S, and at It Rev. Dr. Littlejohn was elected first bishop of Long Island. At' this time Dr.

Van Kleeck was assisted by his son, Frederick E. Van Kleeck, then a candidate for holy orders. Early in 1871, a movement was started among the members to securo ground for the erection of a church building. This was successful and resulted in the purchase of the present church site, for $1,000. Mrs.

Mary A. Tunlson being the prime mover in the work. An attempt was next made to raise money for a church building, but after a little over $100 had been subscribed the matter was dropped. In the spring of 1S73, the privilege of meeting in the school house was taken from them, and the congregation was forced to seek other quarters. Mrs.

M. C. Tunlson immediately fitted up a small house or barn, which had been used for hay storage, on Newklrk avenue and Cones' Island road, and placed it at their disposal. The church met here for the first time, in September, 1873, the lato Rev. F.

C. Connell, D. officiating. Twenty three persons attended, and $10.73 was contributed. For the next eighteen months, the Rev.

Messrs. Ritchie, Ayres and one or two others, preached. Dr. Van Kleeck continuing rector. In February, 1875, Mr.

Van Kleeck accepted a call near Boston and resigned his Parkville charge, his place being taken for eight months by the Rev. R. H. L. Tighe, a teacher in a Brooklyn school.

On October 1, 1S75, the Rev. Robert Bayard Snowden became rector. Tho little meeting house was enlarged by Mrs. Tunlson, and a small chancel was added. Sixteen years had now passed since the starting of the parish, but unpaid taxes and assessments oa their property had piled up.

Only three baptisms, no confirmations and no celebrations of holy communion had taken place. During the early part of Mr. Snowden's pastorate he had charge of a church In Fort Hamilton as well as tha Parkville mission, which necessitated only an afternoon service at the latter place. In the summer of 1S82 the present church building was erected from the material of the Newklrk avenue house which had been presented to the church by Mr. Tunison's heirs and which had been torn down.

A guild room was added to the church in 1SS5. tho cost being met by Mrs. Tunlson, who also paid off all taxes and arrears on the property. Additional land was bought in 1SS6, making the entire plot 113x150 feet, to cover the cost of which Mrs. Tunlson gave the church $1,000.

The' Rev. Mr. Snowden served until 1SS7, being assisted by his son Willard, who died on August 1SS7; Frank S. Eastly and by Charles S. Brown, all licensed lay readers.

In October, 1SS7, Snowden resigned, having founded the Church ot the Holy Spirit In Bath Beach, but he officiated until December 1, when tho services of the Rev. William Allen FIske were secured. Ho was pastor until 1890, when he resigned. During his time a rectory was built on the church property, being paid for by the benevolent Mrs. Tunlson.

Six months later, or in the spring of 1891, the Rev. R. B. Snowden again Deeame priest In charge, J. F.

a cundldate for holy orders being lay reader and conducted weekly services. During Lent, In 1SD2, Mr. Matthews discontinued reading and Mr. Mc Mlllar, a member of the General Theological seminary, took his place. Mr.

Magulre, also of the Theological seminary, followed as lay reader, until ordination, which took place on Trinity Sunday, 1S94. The Rev. Mr. Snowden declining to again take charge of the parish. Archdeacon Alsop assumed control ot It until on June 30, '94, Thomas Gilbert Losee was appointed to the place by the Rt.

Rev. A. N. Littlejohn. Bishop cf Long Island.

During Mr. Losee's time many Important improvements were made and his resignation on April 1S95, was accepted with regret. William E. Sager, the' present incumbent, was appointed lay reader by Bishop Littlejohn on June 1, 1895, under Archdeacon Alsop. Since the incorporation ot the church is 1S59, Injunction Against the Queens County Water Company GRANTED BY JUDGE GAYNOR.

An Order Issued Preventing the Laying of Mains in Cedarhurst, Though tbe Property Owners Favor the Extension and $500,000 Was Raised to Supply the Whole Length of Rockaway Beach (Special to the Eagle.) Cedarhurst, L. May 16 Upon application of B. E. Valentine, Justice W. J.

Gaynor has granted an Injunction restraining the Queens County Water company from laying their mains through Rockaway neck. The company have been served with an order to show cause before the Eame Justice, next Tuesday, why the Injunction should not be made permanent. Mr. Valentine controls tho stock of the Cedarhurst company but all its land has been sold and nothing now remains but the fee of the roads and most of these are subject to the right of easement as public highways. The company is only laying its mains In the public highways and proposes to lay only such mains as axe necessary.

The request to extend the mains through Cedarhurst was made by the Rockaiway Hunters' club and all the large property owners of Cedarhurst are in favor of the extension and no one owning auj property in the place, except Mr. Valentine, has made any objection. Some of the principal citizens of Cedarhurst who are in favor of the extension are William A. Hazzard, George C. Rand, Anson W.

Hard, Samuel P. Hinckley, James R. Keene, Talbot J. Taylor, Walter G. Eliot, Alexander H.

Stevens, Newbold T. Lawrence, Franklin B. Lord, John L. La wrence and oxhers. The Queens County Water company has lately increased its capital by an issue of $500,000 of bonds and greatly enlarged Its pumping 'works at Valley Stream.

It further proposes to lay mains through all the villages along Rockaway. beach: It has contracted to furnish the residents of Cedarhurst with pure, filtered water and the inhabitants are all hoping that there will be a speedy end of the legal controversy. FLUSHING TROLLEY EXTENSION. Flushing, L. May 15 There is some talk of extending the trolley system to the Flushing cemetery.

President R. T. McCabe of the Stelnway railroad company, says that the company Is willing to construct the extension under tho following conditions: "First, that citizens will procure the consents of all property owners along the line; second, that the village trustees grant tho company the necessary franchise free of expense; third, that the tax of ZV per cent, now imposed on the gross receipts of the road be remitted for fifteen years." The route for the proposed extension is along San ford avenue from the present terinlriira'" ti Twenty second street, through that street to the cemetery, from the cemetery to Queens avenue to Bowne, through Bowne to Sanford, connecting with the original Hne. A proposition is also on foot for the construction of a trolley from Jamaica to Flushing and Whltestone Landing. The route proposed is over the Blackstump road and the Fresh Meadow roads to the Flushing cemetery, thence to Sanford avenue to connect with the Flushing and College Point road.

From Sanford avenue the road will be extended through Murray Hill, past the driving park and then clear through to the White stone Landing. This route would make a short cut to the eastern district of Brooklyn, and would afford a much more convenient and speedy way of reaching the beach resorts, Manhattan, Rockaway, and in addition would afford that long desired means of communication with Jamaica and other eastern parts of the Island without going to Long Island City. ANNIVERSARY PARADE. Woodhaven, L. May 16 A Sunday school anniversary parade will be held in this village next Friday afternoon.
