lia icck. alone showing a net increase of sixty lour niendiers. Tin fact that tin next sesion of the C.rana council will take place in this citv next August caused some illseus'den regarding the selection of a hall.

Other matters were discussed, and it was a bite hour when ihe members parted for their homes.

i TWO SHOTS JUST HIM. A Prominent Resident Creates a Sensation by His Attempt to Kill Church. Leader Disappearance of Jolin T. Matthews From Port Jefferson Evangelist Nickerson May Be Arrested if He Preaches Outdoors. (Special to the Eagle.) Lynbrook, L.

February 2 Social and religious circles at Lynbrook were shocked yesterday by the spectacle of a well known official of St. James' M. E. church b' 'ing pursued by an Indignant old man, armed with a shot gun, who was striving to shoot the fleeing man. Tho principals In what came near being a tragedy are Edward W.

Valentine, who for several years has boon secretary of the board of trustees of St. James' M. E. church and a leader In the Sunday school, revivals, church fairs and other features of the church, occasionally occupying the pulpit and conducting the services In tho absence of the pastor, and Thomas Fkmlng, a prominent resident and a former Brooklynite, who held a responsible position under the city works department. Fleming's family is highly esteemed in this section of Long Island.

Mr. Fleming has two daughters, who are talented and are well known for their participation in church and social affairs. One of the daughters. Belle, became infatuated with Mr. Valentine and, notwithstanding the fact that Valentine has a wife in the village, she induced him to be her escort to and from church, while he permitted his wife to go home unaccompanied.

They were the subject of some comment, of which Valentine's wife thought little. It was not until yesterday morning that the facts were; given to the public. The rumors reached Miss Fleming's father and he started out with the declaration that "he would kill that hypocrite as sure as there Is a God In heaven." The appeal of the family was futile. Fleming took his stand near Valentino's meat market early yesterday morning, armed with a double barreled shot gun anG awaited the arrival of Valentine. When the latter saw Fleming with the gun he retreated and ran Into Forbell's store, on Union avenue.

Fleming following and raising his gun. Forbcll and his son stood between the two men. and Valentine escaped through a rear door Just as Fleming pulled both triggers. Whether Valentine was injured or not has not been determined, as he fled with all speed and has nut yet returned. Mr.

Fleming is now armed with a revolver and Is haunting Valentine's house and watching every train. There is reason to believo that Valentine has gone to Scranton, Pa. He has been in communication with the Young Men's Christian association of that place and a day or two before the shooting exhibited a letter offering him the secretaryship of the railroad branch of tho Young Men's Christian association at Scranton. He sold his meat market to Wilbur Thompson and his anxiety to keep the transaction quiet and get the money quickly lends strength to his statement that he was going to Scranton to day. Valentino was reformed from a worthless drunkard and had gained the respect of the community.

Mr. Fleming said last night that he "would kill Ed Valentine if he had to follow him to the end of the earth." "It may take years to locate him but I shall find him and will kill him," he said, "as I should have killed him the first time ho entered my house, had I known his baseness." Valentine's wife is crushed by the event. Among the older and more conservative of the church people there was never a very firm belief in Valentine's sincerity, but he was so assiduous in revivals and so diligent in church work that he won a leading position. Mr. Fleming has declared his intention to go to Scranton in pursuit ot Valentine and to let no tliue elapse in doing so.

"It It had not been for the interference of Mr. Forhell and his son I would have killed him right in that store, but I do not wish tn shoot those persons," he said. Last night and this morning Fleming was watching the trains In hope of seeing Valentine. J. T.

MATHER'S DISAPPEARANCE. Made an Abrupt Departure From His Port Jefferson Home. (Special to the Eagle.) Port Jefferson, February 2 John T. Mather, one of the best known and most popular residents of this village, has mysteriously disappeared. Mather Is a member of a well known shipbuilding firm.

The cup defender. Vigilant, was laid up at his yards last winter and in the yachting world he is a man of very extended acquaintance. Being a bachelor and a man of considerable means and congenial manners he was continually surrounded by a circle of friends and was regarded as something of a leader in local affairs. His failure to appear on Wednesday evening created some comment among the old sea captains who spin yarns and crack peanuts in the glare of the fireside at the Temperance hotel. Fearing that Mather was ill inquiries wer made about him.

On Thursday it was learned that he had not been at home the night before and no one could be found who knew anything of his whereabouts. Friday came and ho failed to return or send any word to his partners. It was known that he invariably carried large sums of money on his person and the theory that he had met with foul play was freely advanced. Captain C. C.

Tooker of the sreamer N'ono wantuck, Captain J. H. Terrlll. Captain John Tooker and Captain William E. Dayton, who among Mather's most Intimate friends, held a conference yesterday and decided to Institute a thorough search for the missing man.

They succeeded in tracing him to the railroad depot, where on Wednesday afternoon ha took a train for New York. Thoy found that he had left his place of business dressed In an old suit of clothes shortly after noon. unusual was noticed In his manner and nothing was thought of his leaving the store. Parties were found who saw Mather dodging through the back jart of the village as though trying to avoid being seen. He was also notice! to enter the cemetery.

A search of the graveyard was made and the tracks of a man were found in the snow leading directly to the depot. At his home it was found that the greater part of his clothing had been taken away. If was also noted that all of the light weight clothing was gone while that which remained would seem the most suitable for the present season. This is thought to indicate that Mather has gone South. When seen at the depot the man had nothing with him and no trunk or package has been forwarded for him.

No reason can be assigned for Mather's mysterious departure. NICKERSON MAY BE ARRESTED If He Attempts to Preach in the Streets of Patchogue. (Special to the Eagle.) L. February 2 Evangelist NiekoTson still holds forth at Patehogue, un dauntod by tho many hard knock ho lias re reived iu thn past two weeks, Mr. Nickerson announces that ho will preach to morrow after noon in tlio public says he, "John Wesley 'motttd tno world as his parish, and so I i preach." It Is said that If Mr.

Nickerson nt tmpts to speak na will be arrested by tho village authorities. On Friday i he applied for a permit to speak in the streets, I but was rofuofld. Ho does not mind tho refusal and will speak as advortise The outdoor ad dr99 is madf neeesarv, as Mr. NieloTSon wns i unable to obtain a hail or other quarter where i in to hold services. In applying to Justice S.

W. Oonklin, protiritor oi Tower hull, to hire the hall. Mr. Nickerson was addressed as follows: "1 hardly know what to to you, I am a rnxmber of the Methodist church and I do not want to do anything to draw the people from the Methodist Episcopal euun neither do I want to call down odiuu on my head." Mr. Conkliu rofused the use of tho hall.

Klckersou continued hW saxeh for a meeting placn and applied at one of the hotels, tho proprietor of which told him lie did not think it a lit place to proach tho gopel. Last Sunday Mr. Nickerson attompted to proach at tho corner of Main street nnd Ocean avenue. Tho hour set for the opening ot hia sermon was 1:30 in the altornoon aud at the ap Negotiations Which Will Place the Bo ad Issue in. Europe.

TO BE SOLD FIRST IN NEW YORK. It Is Expected That the One Hundred Millions Will Then Be Disposed Of to London Bankers A Plan Calculated to Check the Export of Yellow Metal From This Country Publication of Labor Statistics. Washington, D. February 2 Thero is no longer any doubt that negotiations arc in progress and about complete. 1 for the sale in New York of $100,000,000 three per cent, thirty year bonds.

While the prospective purchasers are New York parties, it Is known that the bonds aro expected to be disposed of to London bankers and that they will be paid for entirely with foreign gold. Incorporated in a report made to the house by Chairman McOann from the labor committee on a bill providing for the publication of labor bulletins, is a letter from Commissioner Wright to the chairman, fully indorsing the measure, "especially as foreign governments are doing precisely what the bill aims to accomplish." The English department ot labor, which was established only recently, says the commissioner is now publishing very successfully and with great acceptance to the Industrial interests of the country, a labor gazette. The French de partmcn of labor does tho same thing, and so does that of New Zealand, and now tile Russian government, which has recently established a department of labor, is publishing a gazette. It would seem, right, therefore, the letter continues, that the United States, winch has been tho pioneer of labor departments in the world, should publish bulletin. This would have been done before.

I presume, had it not been for the suggestion that such bulletins should contain information relative to the lack of labor in different parts of the country. I believe that all now agree that such announcements from an olllcial source would do more harm than good, and th'refore the movement has never taken shape, but the publication contemplated avoids this particular, and to my mind objectionable, feature of a bulletin, and with this objection removed. I think It would be greatly for the Interests of the industries of this country that such a bulletin should be established. The commissioner expresses the opinion that the department of labor Is now so constituted that it could bring out at least bi monthly the bulk tin contemplated and llll Its pages with most useful facts relative to the condition of labor in this and other countries, facts which don't naturally and would not generally come within the scope of an annual report. Hero would be the great use and great advantage of the bulletin.

"As I read your bill." says Mr. Wright, "it is not contemplated that, a bulletin should contain mutter theoretical or introduce discussions on debatable iiuesilons. nor should it become the organ of any propaganda, but its whole function Is to be confined to the collection and publication of current but important facts." A bulletin on the history of education In Maryland has been issued by the I'nited States bureau of education. It was compiled by Dr. Bernard C.

Suim r. who characterizes the state as the scene of the beginning of the great ecclesiastical activity of Catholic schools. The number of importance of the higher institutions of learning In Maryland, says the report, has been too great to justify the neglect they have received. The early conditions of life in the colony, It Is stated, did not fuvor schools or colleges, and the planters and frontiersmen had little desire for extended education. It is shown that Maryland during Its history has chartered forty six Institutions of higher learning, and twenty seven of those are in operation tu day.

The ilrst bequest to a Kuropean university from the New World, says Dr. Stoluer. came from a Marylauder. and both of the lirst two men who intended, though contingently, to found un American college with their property placed It within the limits of Maryland. One peculiar effect of the tariff an enormous increase in importations accompanying an Increase of duty on the article imported is cited by I'nited Stales Consul Claud Meeker ut Bradford.

ICngland. in a report to the state department. The article was cotton goods. In 1S7S the value of cotton linings exported to the United States was but which was Increased in to the sum of The McKinley tariff has been given us the cause of this unprecedented tain. In the four yeurs of its operation the tolal value of the cotton goods exported to the I'nited States was about as contrasted with about $1,000,000 In the four years preceding.

The only reason given for tills astonishing increase under a high duty is that cotton linings were cheaper and. therefore, wen substituted for linings in which wool, worsted, alpaca or mohair were the chief values. However that may be. the cotton textile trade received an impetus which has not yet greatly declined. Under these favorable conditions cotton linings improved in make and finish until the present time, wte ii cotton fabrics are being exported to the I'nited States for linings and dress goods, which are beautiful to the sight and so exquisitely finished that to the touch they are as soft nnd pleasing as Bilk.

The benefits derived from the summer institutes for Indian school employes held last summer have led the Indian bureau to decide to continue these meetings during lie season. It will be impracticable to h' ld more than three Institutes and these, it. Is expected, will he held in some portion of three districts Oklahoma territory. Dakota and Washington state. A large ncMbcr of government school employes will bo reached by the Oklahoma Institute, including a number of schools of Kansas.

Smith Dakota probably will bo selected on account of advantageous location for many day school teachers of the Rosebud, Pine Ridge, Standing Rock. Cheyenne river. Crew creek and Lo Brule. Santee and Yankton agencies, beside many from Nebraska, North Dakota, Wisconsin and Minnesota, the latter being close enough to further stimulate the favorable feeling toward Indian education in its state created among the people there last year. Both Washington und Oregon ar.

practically open to proposals for the education of Indians In their public schixils. which will doubtless have its weight in the selection of the former state. The investigation of the overtime claim of letter carriers in Boston has been completed and Commissioner Hill has returned to the city to make his report.

near Evergreen av. OBITUARY. AT A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD of Directors of the Home Life Insurance Company, held on Thursday, January 31, 1893, the following minute was adopted: In Memorlam Our former President and beloved friend. Mr." CHARLES A. ToWNSENI), departed this life on Thursday, January 30.

in the 79th year of his age. Although we may not mourn the demise of the ncble man who. In the fullness of his years, has peacf fully parsed from the cares of earth, we cannot but feel and our own loss. Mr. Townsend was one of the founders the Home Life Insurance Company, in I860; many years he was an active and etlielent member of the Auditing and Executive Committees; in 1ST7 he was elected Vice President, and in President, from which position he retired in 1H92.

Always prompt in his attendance at all meetings and ever faithful in the discharge of his responsible duties, he was recognized by his associates as an able and vigilant coworker in furthering the Interests of the company. His clear Intellect, absolute Integrity nnd unwavering sense of Justice made him an Invaluable counsellor and efficient executive otflcer. After his retirement, on account of the Infirmities of age, from th active administration of tho company's affairs, his devotion still continued, even up to the of his last Illness, and his sound Judgment and advice were cheerfully given In all matters. We need not attempt to express the loss which this company has sustained and which we. us individuals, feel so keenly at this time.

Let It suffice that we add our voire to the common tribute which is so Justly paid to his memory, bearing testimony to the sterling character of the man. to his fnlthful discharge of all duties which devolved upon him. to the spirit of Justice which governed his Intercourse with his fellow men and the qualities which made of him a stanch and valued friend. It Is ordered that tnis minute of respect be placed upon the records of the company and that a copy of the same be forwarded to the family of our deceased associate nnd friend. G.

W. E. IDE, President. E. W.

Gladwin, Secretary. (Special to tho Eagle.) Rockvllle Center, February 2 Farmers on the Hempstead road are anxiously waiting for the mud slough loft after the recent flood from the leaky reservoir to dry up or freeze, so that they can begin hauling fertilizer for spring planting. They hope there will be no more tests of Freel's sieve, as It Is known locally. N'o damages have yet been settled by Uie city with any of the property owners, nor have any offers of settlement been made, except in case of Abram Soper. who was offered by Superintendent Skilton $30.

Soikt refused. The city put a big stove in Alvln Powell's cellar after scooping the mud out and dried it out. Then a lot of clean sand was put in. Mrs. Powell thinks Commissioner White Is a pretty good housecleaner.

The Powell family have gone back in the house. Mr. Powell will send In his bill for board and other claims next week. Suierintondent Skilton claims to have authority to adjust the damages with residents. Mott Smith wants $200 for several acres of grain killed, but Mr.

Skilton refuses to audit the bill. E. P. Southard has made out his claim and placed It in the hands of lawyers. SHERIFF DOHT WAS TERSE.

Disgruntled Republicans Got Very Little Satisfaction. (Special to the Eagle.) Illcksvllle, L. February 2 On January 1 the new Republican sheriff, Henry IJoht, appointed Jacob Mann. of this place, deputy sheriff for Hicksville. Deputy Sheriff Mann is a stanch Democrat and was one ot the many who worked to defeat Ipht for office.

The Republican club, feeling safe as to the appointment, debated among themselves as to the most eligible man in the village and, as near as can be ascertained, the choice fell on Adolph Laueh. Last week a committee waited on Mr. Doht and presented resolutions. After receiving the committee and perusing the resolutions. Sheriff Doht.

it is reported, said: "Oentlemen. I have been elected to serve Queens county for three years and I mean to serve my term. When I have occasion for any of you gentlemen's services I shall bo glad to communicate with you. Good day." The committee made a report last evening, and tho discussion which followed was animated. The Republican club feels the slight very keenly and it may eventually cause the disruption of the club itself.

It Occurred at Lake George While on a Pleasure Trip. Tho death of Mrs. Robert P. Lethbridge at Lake George yesterday was an event which was learned with sorrow by many residents of the eastern district. Mr.

Lethbridge is prominent in social circles In that section of the city, and is a members of the Hanover club. On Monday a party of nineteen went to the country home of Mr. and Mrs. Millard F. Smith at Lake George to spend several days.

Forest Commission Report. From JiiUKs H. Lyon, Albany, the stato printer, comes the report for lsM of the forest commission, consisting of Faucis G. Bibcock. Samuel J.
