THE BKOOKLYK DAILY EAGLE THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1897. DR. WATSON'S VINDICATION. DODGE TO GIVE A DINNER. OPPOSE SURF AVi EXTENSION.

GREEK CABINET FALLS, EUGENIA NEUMAYER'S PLIGHT, IIVEH TO BAYARD, NOT HAY. Institutional Work' Being Ttoie in the Warren Street Oflurohi INSTRUCTION AND RELIGION. Lectures and Classes What the Rev. Mr; Price. Means by an Open Church.

The Building Will Be Used Every Day in the Year A Room Set Apart for Private Devotion Church Society Interested. With the full sanction of the: Brooklyn Methodist Episcopal Church society, having been given the appointment for that purpose, the Rev. T. L. Price, who has just begun, his second year as pastor, Is transforming the staid old "Warren street M.

E. church into a purely Institutional organization. The church society Is giving all the help it can and recently gave to the congregation tSie organ which was used at the old Johnson street church. Warren street is not only to be an institutional church, but it Is part of the plan to have 1 1 open every dayintheyear. During the past winter classes have been conducted in art, music, literature and science.

Friends of the plan and of the pastor gave their services for all o. ttiem and thus made them successful. One of the features was a course of music on the pipe organ by Professor Fohs. The two organs were used Eor the first time last Sunday evening and they will be used hereafter for the purpose of giving antlphonal services. Beside this a free kindergarten has been established and preparations are now actively going on for t'ae establishment of a free reading room, for which the furniture has already been obtained.

A room will be open for private devotions every morning and evening. Mr. Price Was asked this morning what he meant when he said that he wanted an open church. He said "Well, I don't at present' moan as much as I would like. I have aV loyal" people and have nearly doubled our membership': In a year and more than doubled every Increase In the income.

My plans are to do all we can for this people, as best we can in the Interest of the open church. I shall put in the same work, with many additions another season. The order of service is the same as in any other Methodist church, except that we use two pipe. organs at the same time, played by A. D.

Fohs and Charles Hasenohr, We have a special order for the church army, consisting of a short talk and a responsive Scripture reading by the children, who attend well. have all the help a kind people can give, they are organized into committees, which have charge of different phases of the work. I have asked my local preachers to become associate pastors and they help me all they can outside of business hours. I could not do the pastoral work but for the aid of Miss Susie Blacliman, one of. the best deaconesses I know.

have work for an assistant tor and two deaconesses, but I shall have to wait for these until someone shall make the assistance possible. I need a hall badly, as the building was never intended for this work, but we shall do the best we can by making alterations. "I regard such methods as I have adopted and will adopt helpful or I wouldn't employ them. I believe that no church was ever better situated for such work than the Warren street building, and I have concluded to make this my life work In this part of Brooklyn, and If Methodista says it doesn't want it my convictions are so strong that I believe I should do it for any church that would take it up. But I don't believe this will over bo necessary, for the Brooklyn Church society believes in it to a man.

I regard this as Methodism's great chance to solve the downtown problem in evangelizing and otherwise helping the masses. I have lost a few members, some of the old folks, who don't. even believe in. reading a dally paper, nothing but their. Bibles, but, on the other hand, I have gained many good mem bers.

CRUISER BROOKLYN HONORED. She Will Attend the Queen's Jubilee After Receiving Her Sliver Service (Special to the Eagle.) Washington, D.

April 22 A dispatch was received at tho navy department' this morning frcm Captain Cook, stating that the ruiser Brooklyn had arrived at Newport at an early hour to day. From tho meager reports received by Captain Crowninshield, chief of the bureau of navigation, it appears that the Brooklyn showed up finely in her forty eight hour trial, which is the last test to which she must be submitted before her final acceptance is made by the department. No detailed account of her run has yet been received. The cruiser will remain at Newport until her torpedo outfit has been installed, when she will sail direct for the Brooklyn navy yard to receive the silver service donated by the citizens of Brooklyn. Captain Crowninshield telegraphed Captain Cook to day to notify tho department as soon as possible of the date that the cruiser would leave Newport, so that Secretary Long may have time to Inform Mayor Wurster of the date of the cruiser's coming.

As soon as the ceremonies at Brooklyn are concluded she will sail forEngland to represent the highest type of American cruiser at the queen's jubilee. Although no orders have been yet issued, it has been determined that Admiral Miller will also attend the Jubilee, going over on the cruiser Brooklyn. He will not have command of the vessel, but wdll simply attend the ceremonies In a representative capacity. Inquiry at the department develops the fact that there is some uncertainty about the movements of the Brooklyn after the queen's jubilee. So far as can he learned It is not known whether she will relieve the Minne apolis as the flagship of the Mediterranean fleet or whether she will return to the United States.

The navy department has decided to detail Naval Constructor Taylor, now on duty at the bureau of construction, navy department, and Chief Engineer McFarland, as the representatives of this government at the international meeting of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, which meets in London, Ju'ly 5. Constructor Taylor will sail for England on the 16th of June and Chief Engineer McFarland will sail a few days later. Final Payment for the "Vessel to Be Recommended. Newport, R. April 2f The United States cruiser Brooklyn arrived here this morning after forty eight hours run at sea, which was the final event of her official trial.

Commodore Dewey, who Is at the head of the board of survey, under whose supervision the run was made, gives out that the test was most satisfactory, and that the final pay' mtnt for the vessel will be recommended. CITY WINS BY DEFAULT. Justice Van Wart's Decision in the Suit Brought Against an Alleged Squatter at Dyker Beach Park. Park Commissioner Dettmer's application for an order for the removal of Joseph Gid diugs, a squatter on land known as Dyker Beach park, Gravesend Bay, came up for hear.ng before Judge Van Wart in the Broadway civil court to day. As already stated in the Eagle, the case was considered an important one from the fact that a number of people have squatted or 'settled on land owned by the city on the shore at Gravesend Bay and now required for park purposes.

The park commissioner was represented by an attorney from the corporation counsel's office. Gid dings, the defendant, did not appear and Judge Van Wort gave judgment for the city by default, wvth costs. Shortly after judgment had br en given Giddings appeared and wanted another hearing. The judge referred him to the corporation counsel to see if that oili cial's ejnsent could be obtained to a stay of the of the warrant. In his application for process proceedings Park Commissioner Dettmer says that the city is the owner of Dyker Beach park and that contrary to law and without permission the defendant and others erected a number of one story shanties easterly from the boundary lino between Dyker Beach park and the United States government reservation and refused to move therefrom, although due notice had been given them ro do go.

It Is Kept Open Day and Night in Order to Keep Up With the Business.

Colonel Mlebell, deputy commissioner of excise, has received from Albany a copy of the amended excise law, but the department has not as yet sent out a certified copy to anyone. however, does not interfere with tho' work of taking out licenses in Brooklyn, for the enforcement of the provisions of the law rest upon the police department and the district attorney. The Brooklyn office is open night and day this week In order that the present rush of applications may be taken care of. There were filed over 3,500 applications for certificates up to this afternoon, and at 3 o'clock 3,165 had been passed upon as correct. Of these 2,800 certificates have been issued, for which about $1,300,000 has been paid into the cashier's office.

Among the applications are those of the Union League, Brooklyn, Hamilton, Cortelyou cliibs and about a dozen from minor organizations. It Is the opinion in the department that all the older and recognized clubs will take out licenses. As to the enforcement of the law the opinion seetos to prevail that a liberal Interpretation will be made, particularly, among the suburban places of resort. The newly amended law Is in practical operation, but the provisions governing clubs and hotels will not bo enforced till Sunday, when the police will begin the weeding out of the: fake organizations. Commissioner Welles of the police department said to day that he was not prepared to talk yet about his policy concerning the enforcement of the amendments to the Raines law.

"I have not as yet," he said, "received a copy of the amendments, and at any rate I am not prepared to talk until I receive from the counsel to the board his construction of the now provisions. Mr. Brenner has still charge of that matter. I had already submitted the matter to him." All Night Excise Licenses. Troy, N.

Bill Before the Mayor for an Improvement In he' Thirty first Ward Arouses Emphatic Protests Racing Association Favors the Project Alleged That the Scheme Is Not' Feasible Because of Destructive Winter Tides. Mayor Wurster this afternoon gave a hearing on the bill for the. extensioA Surf avenue to a point on Manhattan Beach near the Oriental hotei.

William Engeraan and A. H. Battersby of the Brighton Beach Racing association favored the bill and had their lawyer, Thomas E. Pearsall, talk for them also. Mr.

Pearsall informed the mayor that his clients were willing to pay the cost of the proposed improvement should the bill become a Tha work was necessary, because there was, now no thoroughfare between Brighton and Manhattan, and no one could walk from one place to the other. George I. Murphy, for the Brighton Beach Railroad company, said that would be so close to the ocean that It would be washed away, next winter. It meant confiscation to the Brighton Beach Improvement company, white it would also prevent the railroad company from running trains. Lawyer William Kelly appeared for the Manhattan Beach Improvement company and opposed the bill vigorously.

The most outrageous feature of it, he said, was that the improvement would take the whole beach. Mayor Wurster said it seemed to him' that this was a matter which should have left to the city, as the common counoil had; full power; He should, however, consider the bill very carefully. It is thought that fie will not approve it. Fred Cocheu and W. L.

Durack urged the mayor to approve the bill for a bond issue of $1,500,000 for improvements in the Thirtieth ward.

Turkish Warships Aground in the Dar danelles.

In military circles it Is further urged tha't a Turkish squadron should be dispatched to Volp in order to Edhem Pasha's oc cupation of that district of Greece.

THE POWERS' ATTITUDE. Honotaux Explains the Frogress of Negotiations Will Greece Give Up All Claim to Crete? Paris, April 20 At a cabinet meeting the minister for foreign affairs, M. Hanp taux, explained tho course of events' to th east and the progress of the negotiation's of the powers to bring about a settlement of the dlsputos between Greece and TtiTkey. A member of the diplomatic corps of high standing. In an interview, is quoted as saying: "While Greece will not ask for intervention It Is Impossible for her to prolong resistance owing to the state of her finances.

Therefore, it is probable the Greek government will now obey the summons of Europe and that the Turkish evacuation of Thessaly and the Greek evacuation of the Island of Crete will be carried out simultaneously. "The financial question will then be considered. Greece will possibly be given a judicial, council enabling the giving, of guarantees to the German bondholders and providing Turkey with an indemnity for the expense of mobilizing her troops." From other quarters it is reported that the Turkish government is ready to negotiate for a cessation of the war, agreeing to the re establishment of the status quo ante bellum with the proclamation of autonomy for Crete. THE GREEK STAMPEDE. Experiences of an English Volunteer During the Turmoil and Excitement in Larissa.

London, April 29 The Times this morning publishes an interview with an English volunteer who was a witness of the terrible stampede of the Greeks from Tyrnavos to Larissa and Pharsalos and Volo. After describing the terrors of this retreat the volunteer continues: "Within a mile or two of Larissa my horso was knocked over an embankment Into a dry river bed. I knew I was injured, but to stay there meant death and I managed to drag myself to Larissa. There all was confusion. I was swept Into a wineshop with a mob of soldiers and obtained some Resinato wine.

On leaving tho shop I went into the street, saw an open door and laid down in the passage, completely exhausted. When I awoke I could not move my injured leg. Fortunately I saw. an English correspondent, who went to fetch a surgeon. Soon he dashed up on horseback and explained: 'The Turks are "I could not stay there, so I hung to the neck of his horse and thus made my way through the streets until I met another English correspondent with a bicycle.

He placed mo on his machine and I was able to work one pedal and reach the railroad depot. There tho Englishman loft me, wishing me good luck. Under tho circumstances I had good luck, indeed. Disabled as I was, I succeeded in entering a train. "At the station the scone was one of the wildest confusion.

Soldiers and civilians, women and children were struggling and clamoring In their efforts to get into the train. The men behaved in cowardly manner. I saw women and children dragged from the carriages to make room for officers and the soldiers who had been detailed to guard the station, instead of remaining on duty, leaped upon tho roofs of the carriages. Their companions who failed to get places fired at them and the fire was returned, and the train started in the midst of a hot fusillade. It was a terriblo scene.

The agony of those left behind was heartrending, their terror Increasing as firing was heard on the outskirts of the town and it was believed that the Turks were approaching. Most of the military men left tho train at Velestine, being bound for Pharsalos.

Her Yain Attempt to Establish Her Marriage Rights.

KRAMER COULD NOT HELP HER. Says She Is the Wit of George W. Smith, a Son ol William Smith of tho New York Life Insurance Company, "Who Has Mysteriously Disappeared. Her Marriage Annulled by Justice Maddox. Eugenia Neumayer, a pretty, well dressed girl of 19, who claims to be the wife of George W.

Smith, a lad of tho same age, appeared in the Gates avenue court this morn lug and asked Judge Kramer to award ber an allowance for the support of herself and her child. The Judge dismissed the case. There is a somewhat pitiful romance about the two young people. The girl claims that she is married, the young man denies It, and his father, William Smith, who occupied a trustworthy position in the United States Life Insurance company, has been missing since, the afternoon of April 10, when he left the office of Buel, Toucey Whiting, 261 Broadway, New York, for his home. The police of all near by stations have been informed, the hospitals searched and all without result.

Mr. Smith's friends and business associates are at a loss to account for his absence. He was last seen about 5 o'clock on the date named on Sixth avenue, near Twen ty third street. Here he engaged in conversation with a business associate and before leaving announced that he intended to walk to the ferry and there then to his home in tho eastern district. Since that time nothing has been heard of him.

Mr. Smith's home life was pleasant, although he had been depressed of late over some family troubles. Some time ago the elder Smith brought suit in tho suprem court to have the marriage of his son annulled on the ground that the latter' was a minor and did not know what he was doing. Judge Maddox annulled the marriago the girl appealed from his decision. Pending the result she appeared before Judge Kramer to day for support.

In discussing the case, his honor said to Eugenia: "I am sorry for you, but I cannot help you. I cannot say in this court that you are a married woman when a higher tribunal has declared otherwise." Eugenia left the stand hurriedly, but before she wont away she told this story to an Eaglo reporter: "George Smith lives with his father's family at 67 Bleecker street, Brooklyn, and I keep house just now at 1,2.10 De Kaib avenue. I have known him and his people for six years. We liked each other and he proposed to mo last year. All the arrangements were made for our wedding and wo went over to Pastor Sneider, on Second avenue, New York, who married us in December last.

A girl friend of mine went wdth me. Wo lived for two weeks together as man and wife at 87 Himrod street and then on a Sunday George sent round word to his father that he was married; at least, ho told me so, but he didn't, and on New Year's day I sent a letter to his father; stating that I was George's wife. I went round to the house when I got no answer and Mr. Smith said that he had taken the matter in his own hands and was going to do his duty by his son. My little girl was born on December 16 at 1,230 DeKalb avenue.

I need support and I haven't had it after the first two weeks of our married life." The girl emphatically denied to day the reports that the wedding had taken place while young Smith was under the influence of liquor or drugs. She said that neither she nor George had taken a glass of liquor in the six years that they had known each other. COUNTRY CLAY ROADS.
