Colt May Be LicensedChildren Street Cleaners. Tho Eov. Aneon T. Colt, in speaking to an Eagle reporter yesterday in referenoe to his re turn to tho Episcopal churoh, said: saw tho bishop Friday following ascension day, and ha told me tnat ne wouia incimaie my rubuni wt tuo Episcopal church by every canonical means in. his power.

Tho bishop has the privilege to lengthen the period ot prooation, Dut not to shorten it. He interprets the canons just aB a judge interprets the laws. Tho three years probation I havo already begnn as a parishioner of Christ church, Bedford avenue, arid tha bishop may license me as a lay reader or as a preaonor." a. no itev. Mr.

uoit was asgea ior a xuuer interpretation of his words: Christian regard for literal obedience." "I think thai words are perfectly self explanatory," he said, "ton know how the Roman Catholics hold tho pontificate. As a Roman Catholio I held both Christian regard and literal obedience. As an Episcopalian I regard the bishop of Rome with respect and veneration. But I hold it my bounden duty to seek rendmission into th Episcopal ministry notwithstanding." In reply to a question put to Mr. Colt as to he meant by the statement that the two churchos were nearer than thoy realized, he made a quotation with the view of showing hat the verbal references in both churches to the great central act of worship the Lord's supper wero very similar in meaning.

He gavo as an instance' tho Episcopal exhortation which speaks of it aa "that holy sacrament," being to tho same effect as tho words in the Roman hymn, "great sacrament" used overy Sunday, thus reflecting th doctrinal nearness of the two communions. "I went into the Catholic church out of oon viction," he said, "but I am returning to tho church in which I was born, as there was nothing there to hold me." CHILDREN KEEPING STREETS CLEAN.

Now York. The Police Looking for an Italian Eag Picker's Ghost THAT APPEARS IN BROWNSVILLE. It Frightens Returning Picnickers and Has Caused Sleeplessness, and Excitement in That Neighborhood Sergeant Quigley, After a Night's Fruitless "Vigil, Offers the Spirit a Piece of Advice Flatlands Taxpayers Meet. The residents near Atlantic park and espe cially those of tho vicinity cf the Italian set tlement on Douglass street, near Howard ave nue, are getting very little sleep just now and many of the number are out nights hunt ing for a ghost that was first seen and report ed by a Brownsville woman on Wednesday ntght last. That a figure clad In white and Is parading the streets in the early hours of the morning no one can doubt for a moment, after a visit to the homes In the vicinity of the above named streets.

After the specter's third visit Saturday night, just at a time when many young people were returning from a nicnic at Atlantic park, the ponce were ap pealed to for aid In running down and captur ing the unwelcome visitor, but up to the pres ent they have been unsuccessrui. The Italians residing In the neighborhood of the spot visited by the ghost have become much alarmed and they firmly believe that the SDirlt of one of their number who was accl dentally killed has returned to earth and that It Is an 111 omen. On May 18 Catallno Curlllo, a rag picker, was killed in front of his home on Douglass street, by a trolley car. It Is at this particular place that the ghose held forth on his three visits. The Italian residents say tnat the visitor of the night Is Curlllo spirit, and that he appears with the bag and hook he had when killed.

One man claims that he has seen the aclcdent repated in visionary form. However this may be the Italians are much exercised and they are not alone in their fears, for the better class of residents are not resting as quietly as they did two weeks aga. The women are frightened and some of them wtlll not venture out of their homes after dark. The men, too, are taking quite an Interest in the affair and many of them are. out every night waiting for hte appearance of the specter.

A man said yesterday that fifty men were out Friday night, any one of whom would tell you he did not believe in ghosts, but merely went out for fun. John Doppel, a conductor on the Ralph ave nue trolley line, lives at the corner of Howard avenue and Douglass street, and It is in front of his house the ghost is said to walk. When an Eagle reporter called there this morning he was confronted by four barking dogs chained to as many trees. At each of the chree entrances to the house was a newly painted sign with this warning: "Beware of the dogs." Mr. Doppel was not at home, but his wife was.

She said she had heard considerable about the ghost, but had not seen It. "My husband and I heard screams one night last week," she said, "and the next day we heard the ghost story. Yes, we both got up out of bed twice that night, but then I do not believe in ghosts at all. They say the white figure, whatever it was, started from in front of our gate and walked, or, rather, floated through tho air up Howard avenue, and, entering Mrs. Mulllns' yard, above htere, disappeared in the grape arbor.

A woman in Brownsvillle was the first to see the ghost and she fainted at the sight. The next day she complained to the police and then came here and pointed out the spot where she saw It. Then an officer came here and made Inquiries about the matter at all the houses. He spent a night In our garden, first telling my husband not to use his un during the night. Oh, no; of course I do not believe In ghosts, but then I would so like to know hat all the fuss Is about." Charles Erenhold, a blacksmith, whose home and shop Is near the scone of the reported nightly visitations, said he had been out with some of his neighbors two nights to see if there was anything in the reports.

He knew well enough the stories were unfounded, but then the others wanted him to go out, and he did. If there was any ghost It was a human one. Last night Sergeant Quigley and Detective Stack of the Seventeenth sub precinct station woro out on a auiet hunt for the ghost, but the spook failed to walk. The sergeant spent the night benina a ciump w. uusues uiu oIot, nf John DonDel, while Detective Stack secreted himself behind a fence on the opposite side of tne street, oom ameers are ni ovnerience and of excellent judgment.

This morning the sergeant talked freely about the ghost and his experience oi uie iii8ul. Of course tne gentieuiiu ulo mU uui. anpear, saw tne swb'. for blm tnat ne am not, mi rok. a warm receDtlon.

Stack and I were acting as a reception committee, and we hud oaaictoTit on all sides. This ghost which I understand wears trousers under his flowing white sheet Is having apparently any amount of fun parading up Douglass street and How ard avenue, ana occasionally uin ms a. uu un rflv mad. I have been told that he (m onnnnrpri" mree times now. His method I am told is to lay In wait for a trolley car to approach when ne appears irom uia piacc ui the Italian rag picker was a killed last mont ana gu nwu6n series of gestures to the acompaniment of weird sounds.

He usually manes iiih appear ance on tne mgai wueu a muuu, in uc.u In Atlantic park, ana tnen insuieas mose home, I would give bis ghostshilp a bit of adivce and tell him he is assuming big risks for his life as the people In the vicinity of Douglass street and Howard avenue are pretty well worked up and some of them will not hesitate to snoot at. toe urs sight ot anything ghostlike." MARK M. POMEROY CREMATED. F' neral services over the romains of Mark M. Pomeroy were held yesterday and were attended by many friends from Brooklyn and New York.

The Rev. John W. Chadwick of the Second Unitarian church, Congress and Clinton streets, officiated, and made a brief eulogv of tho Hie anu services ui me ueuu S'niiQt The services were concluded with TTinnontc ceremony by the members of Kedron lodge of Bath Beach, of which Mr, r. member.
