The work of tearing down the chapel will begin about the middle of August and the architects, Mr. Carson announced last night, had given every assurance that the building would be fully completed and ready for occupancy on February 1, 1897. The location chosen Is one of the best in the city for a Presbyterian church. It Is In the heart of the thickly populated, strongly Protestant, rich and prosperous Twenty third ward. The population of this ward is 62.000 people.

The membership of all the Protestant churches located in the ward is 15.093. The total church membership is 19, 093, or 42,907 less than the population. The total seating capacity of all tho churches In tho ward, Protestant and Catholic, is 22,279. In the ward at present there are two small Presbyterian churches, whose total combined membership is 444 and the combined seating capacity of whose edifices Is 775. This ward contains three Baptist churches, two of them being the largest of the denomination In the city; four Congregational churches, two of which are the largest and strongest in the country; five Methodist churches, three of which are among the largest in this city; three Protestant Episcopal churches and six churches of other denominations.

The Congregational churches in the ward number 5,528 members, the Methodist 3,670 and the Baptist 3,046, while tho Presbyterian numbers 444. On Sunday, May 15, 1892, Central celebrated Its first communion as a Presbyterian church. Thirty five new members were added to the roll at that time and 135 members partook of the communion. In the four years of the history of the church the membership has increased from 164 to 617. The total number added to the church was: In the first year 100, In the second year 138, in the third year 158, in the fourth year 140, making a total of 536, or an average of 134 for each year.

The decrease during the four years has been 65, making a net gain of 481, or an average net gain of 120 new members each year. In the four years the Sunday school has grown from 350 members to nearly seven hundred. The contributions for the four years were $43, 403.65, an average of $10,850.98 per year. sousa's burns night. Interesting Celebration Held at the Manhattan Beach Casino.

Sousa and his band had a Burns night last evening in celebration of the centenary of the death of the poet. They were assisted by the Scottish American Musical society of this city, of which Mr. Walter Bruce is the director, by Mr. Bruce as a baritone soloist, and by Miss Lillian Houldlng, a contralto, who captured the audience completely by her Scotch songs. The whole thing was as Scotch as haggis.

There were no bagpipes, but there was so good an Imitation of them in a piece called "The Maiden From the Highlands" that it would have taken a Highlander to tell the difference. The band also played a fantasia, "Scotland's Pride," that, began with "Bonnie Dundee" and ended with "Bonnie Charlie's Now Awa," and had half a dozen familiar airs In between. Mr. Crane sang "Gae Bring Me a Pint o' Wine" and "Afton Water" rather too delicately for a big place like the pavilion, but with most careful shading and expression. Miss Houldlng, who sang "Braw Lads o' Gala Water," has some tender tones that went straight to the hearts of her audience, and the steadiness and accuracy of her singing were a delight to listen to, especially on a platform where many singers of late have thought they must wabble to be effective.

The society chorus, which was the backbone of the concert, gave four numbers, familiar Scotch airs, winding up with "Auld Lang Syne," in which the audience joined with a "will. The songs were encored as they deserved to be, for they were sung within' tune, and with a care in enunciation and' shading which allowed the audience to follow the words. Sousa's programme to night is as follows: MAiNHlATTAX WEDNESDAY Overture "The 3I111 on the Rock" Relaeiger Sontrs and dances of Wales Godfrey Caprice "The Gypsies" Goddard Scenes from "Cavalleria Song "Thou Art Like a Flower" Liszt Song "Sympathy" Liszt Valse "La Reine de la Mer" Alrd from "Isle of Champagne" Furst MTJSIC AT BRIGHTON" BEACH. The Seidl society's programmes at Brighton Beach yesterday approached very close to the Ideal in selection, arrangement and performance. The afternoon was made up largely of selections from the works of the greater master Wagner, but the music was that which is mdst popular.

Including the prelude to "Die Meistersinger," the Waldweben from "Siegfried," the prize song from "Die Meistersinger" and the wedding music, Chorus and march from the third act of "Lohengrin." In addition was Mozart's beautiful overture to "The Magic Flute." the Andante from Beethoven's fifth symphony and the stirring march from Raff's "Lenore" symphony. In the evening the programme was more diverse. The overture to "Die Frelschuetz" was the first number. Then Moszkowskl's masterpiece in local color, the Nations Suite. This was followed by Saint Saens' voluptuous bacchanale from "Samson and Dallla." Greg's tender "Heart Wounds" and "Spring Time" were followed by three songs In German, sung by Emll Fischer.

The remainder ot the programme was the intermezzo from "Rat cliff," the ballet music from "Henry VIII," some more songs by Mr. Fischer and, as the concluding number, Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King." The audience was about of the average size at both performances and was appreciative of the beauty of tho music. Mr. Fischer was encored twice and responded in his genial way. Tho programme for to night includes: Grand march Wagner From "Boabdll" Moszkowskt Scherzo waltz.

Overture "The Merry Wives of Windsor" YOUNG ELDRED SENTENCED. Scion of a Good Family Sent to the Penitentiary. Charles H. Eldred, son of the late Charles H. Eldred, who for many years conducted a wholesale fish stand at 9 Fulton fish market, New York, was sentenced to the penitentiary for six months by Justice SchnRz span in the Lee avenue police court, yesterday afternoon.

There were several complaints against young Eldred, but they were all withdrawn except the one made by Jacob Jud. a saloonkeeper, at 166 Lynch street, who changed Eldred with passing a worthless check for $20. Eldred comes from a well known family and his mother still lives in tho handsome family home at 17 Arlington place. When Eldred gets out of prison he will be arraigned in Justice Teale's court on a charge of abandonment, preferred by his wife.

Mrs. John F. Carson, the Pastor's Wife, Tarns th.e First Spadeful of Earth Several Addresses and Singing by the Congregations. The ceremony of breaking ground for the nsw edlficeof thecrmsoridatedCentral and Trinity Presbyterian churches, corner of Marcy and Jefferson avenues, took place last even tog. The members of both churches were on hand In large numbers.

The large lot was lighted with strings of Chinese lanterns and banners of many kinds were displayed about the grounds. A temporary platform had been erected and seats were provided for many, while a great number were forced to stand, so great was the crowd. The Rev. John. F.

Carson, the pastor, presided at the service. "Showers of Blessings" was sung by the audience and prayer was offered by the senior elder of Central churoh, James "Warnock. "We Are Marching to Z1on" was sung and then Air. Carson introduced the Rev. A.

B. Prlchard, pastor of the Arlington avenue Presbyterian church who, among other things said: "I need not say that I am glad to be one of your number to night. There ie nothing more fascinating than growth. How happy your pastor must be to see in his flock the growtlh in grace, and the growth of Christian enterprise which he has fostered to more and more commanding and enduring proportions. In a sense we are here to celebrate a marriage, we are here for the hanging of the crane, the settlement of the new household In the new place of habitation.

Marriage Is in Itself a stage of progress a testimony to development. No wonder, therefore, that this levenlng fills your hearts with abounding hopes and large ambitions. I counsel you to be much in prayer. To build on God's pltan you must be waiting on God to learn His plan. Pray for your beloved pastor, pray for those In co operation, pray for each other.

May the captain of the Lord's hosts come forth to lead you on to victory, and that your success may be assured may you each have grace to say to Him in humble subjection, 'What saith my Lord unto His A. A. Weeks, senior deacon of what was Trinity church, made a few remarks and then the Rev. Roland S. Dawson, moderator of the Brooklyn presbytery and pastor of the Alns lle street Presbyterian church, was Introduced.

He had warm words of congratulation for pastor and people. He said that the promise of the future for the two churches was to be judged by the past and from the great results which the pastor of Central church had been able to accomplish. "America" was sung and then little Veni Warwick, 6 years old, was introduced as the first contributor to the building fund. The Rev. J.

W. Gilland, pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian church, was the next speaker. He said he came to show the deep Interest he had in the new enterprise and to Join with them and with his brethren in joy at the great prospect before the united people. There was no institution to compare with the church of God and the upbuilding of the kingdom of Christ and the realization of all that power which Christ gives to His followers was a great thing to work for and which to look forward. Difficulties would be encountered but all would be overcome if they would throw themselves back upon that One who could sustain them in all difficulties.

Mr. Carson said he had received a number of letter of regret from ministers of several denominations whom he had expected to be present. He said it was usual for the pastor to throw up the first spadeful ot earth on such occasions, but there was a force behind the pastor which was not sufficiently recognized and he would call upon Mrs. Carson to perform this duty. A procession was formed, led by Mr.

and Mrs. Carson, and as all marched to the further end of tho lot they sang "All hail the power of Jesus' name." After Mrs. Carson had thrown up the first shovelful tho pastor, officers and architects followed In turn, the audience singing all the while, closing with the doxology several times repeated. Refreshments were served on tho lawn. The new CentTal Presbyterian church will contain all the features of modern church architecture.

Work on excavating the cellar wHl begin at once. The Central church has adopted a new plan with reference to a building committee, fifty of the members of the church being appointed on It They have been divided into ten speolal committees, to have charge of all the special departments of the work. These sub committees are to bo responsible for the progress of the work in each department, to select contractors, let contracts, etc. Two ohairmen have been selected for the general committee, the pastor, the Rev.

Cellar Dirt Largely Responsible for Defilement of the Long Island Shore A Plan for Reclaiming Shoal Lands at Ricker's Island. (Special to the' Eagle.) Washington, D. July 22 Lieutenant Commander D. Delehanty, stationed at New York, has submitted a report to the war department on the subject of refuse in New York harbor. Lieutenant Delehanty proposes a method of abolishing this nuisance that has been the subject of so much contention and protest from persons residing on Long Island.

He says: "As New York harbor has for years seriously suffered from the lack of a proper system for the final disposition ot the city refuse, the efforts of this office have been persistently directed for the past two years toward securing the adoption ot one which would be clean, sanitary and In every respect satisfactory. After many vexatious delays such a system was finally determined upon and the present indefensible practice of depositing this foul material In the sea near the entrance to the harbor will soon give place to it. This is practically the one outlined in tho letter to the commissioner of street cleaning of New York. First, the floatable refuse will be eliminated and more or less of it will be collected with the houso and street refuse. Conceding that 95 per cent, of the collection would sink, the remainder would be equal to 400 cubic yards per day, all offensive material, to be driven on the south shore of Long Island, which is one continuous summer resort throughout its entire length of 120 miles.

The tides and the prevailing summer winds combine to send all floatable matter to these shores when deposited anywhere from the mouth of the harbor to at least sixty miles. "During the summer of 1894 I became convinced that the cellar dirt deposited in the water by the contractors was largely responsible for defiling the Long Island beaches. I gave them the option of separating from the cellar dirt all floatable material or depositing it with the city refuse beyond the lightship at a largely Increased cost. Several of the contractors made conscientious efforts to exclude the proscribed material, but after several observations at the dumping ground I was compelled to enforce with them the rules governing the dumping of city refuse in order to mitigate the evil, from which the beaches suffered. Now, If these beaches, which are the pleasure resorts ot so many, "thousands of our fellow citizens, are to be protected, and the reproaches which have been so justly heaped on the city of New York for permitting the outrages, are to cease, it is only imperative that the cellar dirt as well as the city refuse muBt find some other place of deposit than in the ocean.

But how can I correct the less evil until the greater Is abolished? All told, there are about 10,000,000 cubic yards of this so called waste annually dumped in the sea near the mouth of this "harbor, with a shameful disregard for tho outrageous results. With the vast amount of city refuse in its present mixed state there are but two ways of disposing of it, to deposit it in the sea with' all. the attendant evils, or to cremate it. The first is scarcely worth further consideration; even if the otfensiveness of it should be reduced to a minimum, there would be forever following in. its trail the cellar dirt with increasing foulness, for what the city boats would refuse to receive the private boats would accept, and the defilement of the waters and the beaches would be still charged to the city, with the ultimate result that the practice would be abandoned.

To dispose of it by an approved method of cremating would be exceedingly expensive. There is another method which combines every condition for a perfect solution of the problem from a cleanly, sanitary and economical standpoint. "First A collection jot the garbage kept separate by the householders from all other refuse, and this is to be disposed of by the reduction process, which would convert the offensive waste Into two valuable products, from one of which sufficient fertilizer would be produced to make Long Island a veritable garden that would supply New York with choice and cheap vegetables. This would be gome reparation for the many years that New York has dumped garbage on the Long Island beaches. The separation is the only: difficult problem.and that is greatly overestimated.

It has been the fashion to say that it cannot be accomplished in New York. While I do not underestimate the difficulties attending it, I am sure it can be done. The conditions are the same here as in other large cities where it is in force, notably In Brooklyn, Buffalo and in St. Louis. As unmixed garbage is of value, so is the remainder of the house refuse and street sweepings, free from garbage, of great value, as it is the best of material for reclaiming lands.

Ricker's island, Including the east and west shoals adjoining it, covers an area of 481.5 acres. The island proper has an area of 87.5 acres; tho west shoal has an aTea of 79 acres and the east shoal an area of 315 acres. By computation made at the office of the United States coast and geodetic survey, 10.58S.140 cubic yards of filling material would raise both shoals and the low land of the island to three feeet above high water mark. By the system under contemplation the cost of transporting and depositing the refuse would not, in my opinion, exceed 10 cents per yard. The amount of refuse being about 2,000,000 yards per year, the cost would be $200,000 per year, and in five years, 1,000,000, Add to this $400,000 for cribwork and the total cost for reclaiming these shoals and 43.3 acres of the island proper, that was less than three feet above high water, would be $1,400,000.

"It was confidently hoped that this system wciild be in full operation by the earlier part of last spring, thus insuring for this summer and all future time protection lot the Long Island and New Jersey beaches against the intolerable nuisance created by the New York refuse; but unfortunately, enormous obstacles prevented the awarding of the garbage contract until June 2 last. The plant for the reduction of the garbage is under construction at Barren island, and will not be completed before the close of this summer. After the success of the entire system for the final disposition of the city refuse shall have been demonstrated, It will, in my opinion, promptly lead to the utilization of the cellar dirt for reclaiming submerged land within the limit of the harbor. As a large quantity of floatable material is always mixed with the cellar dirt, this continuous deposit near the mouth of the harbor would meet with strong and just opposition, especially from the inhabitants along the New Jersey and Long Island shores. The waters and the beaches wouid still be foul, and the gain made by the discontinuance of dumping the city refuse In the sea would be Ignored.

When the city authorities shall show that the street sweepings, ashes, can be cheaply and expeditiously dumped behind closed bulkheads. I apprehend little difficulty in bringing about a similar disposition of the cellar dirt. Some other disposition of the cellar dirt than dumping it into the sea is imperative If the harbor is to have better protection. "There remains, however, one other source, which not only contributes to tho uncleanllness of the harbor, but creates obstructions which menace navigation until removed at government expense; that Is, the practice of t.be steamboats, yachts, tugs and other similar steam craft surreptitiously disposing of their ashes and other refuse at any and all points within these waters. When the vast number of boats in use In this harbor, in the rivers and in Long Island sound is considered, the amount ot damage that can be done by the dally deposit of their ashes in the channels can be asily understood.

It has been the wish of this ofllco to correct the evil with as little inconvenience to steamboat owners as possible, but in my opinion there Is no way In which it cap bo accomplished except by an absolute prohibition against the deposft of ashes anywhere within the waters named. After a careful study of the question I have reached the following conclusions: "First, that the deposit of ashes or other refuse at any point within the waters under the Jurisdiction of this office be oro hibhed except In such cases of necessity, when the deposit shall be made only under a special' permit trim this office. "Second, that the yacht clubs concerned shall be requested to maintain ash scows at convenient locations In, the sound and in the North river, beyond the city limits.

A reporter of the Eagle called on Attorney Backus yesterday and explained to him it had been reported that the Royal Arcanum was In embarrassed cfrcum stances and that there was a great deficiency, In the treasury. The district attorney fcaa been a representative to tho grand coun cil of the state of New York an to the supreme council that met in St. Louis last year and in Savannah this year. It. had been stated by two regents in this city Royal Arcanum was not prosperous and that, there was a deficiency In the treasury and that the Royal Arcanum was embarrassed.

Mr. Backus, as a representative for two years; ha4 taken an active part in the discussion of. a. financial system for the Royal Arcanum. Mr.

Backus said: "The statements are without any foundation in fact. The Royal Arcanum depends upoa two funds. First, the dues from the members. Each member pays his dues to bis subordinate council. Each subordinate council pays dues to the grand council and each grand council pays dues to the supreme council.

Out of this fund alone comes the money to pay. all. the expenses of the Royal Aroanum. Then there is the widows' and orphans' fund creat ed by assessment. From this fund are paid; the benefits, $3,000 to each benefioiary upon.

the deach of the member, who is a full rate; member, and $1,500 in case the member is at half rate member. There has never been second since the foundation of this order when, there was not a balance in the treasury sufficient to pay any death certificate. This fundi is never kept larger tihan is necessary for hA1 reason that it is used for no other purposs except to pay benefit certificates, and "ie is the policy of the Royal Arcanum 1 to leave the money in the pockets' o. its subordinate members as long as it. la possible.

The balance in favor of the order from the dues was larger last year than. any time, because the order increased jast year more than It ever did before. The 'sal i aries of our supreme officers were increased: "at the last session in Savannah and moneys were" Invested It is probable that dues will be reduced next year and so maker the burden on the subordinate members. im the way of dues less, for the reason that the i order is getting so large and strong that we! do not need to levy as large dues upon each member. We have a membership now of over 180.000.

We have 43,000 in the state of Newt; York and 1G.000 in the City of Brooklyn. Every healthy, honorable white man, between the ages of 21 and 50 is eligible to member ship. We have millions to' "dfawT7m" y'ot, beside the sons of Royal Arcanumites, who; Join as fast as they get to be 21. We care! for our sick and we get employment for our; unemployed. From our hospital fund we fur nish surgical and hospital treatment for bur members who could not get it otherwise, ancj.

the fraternal advantages are such that bur' order is growing wherever its i elples are known. Think of a maai In Brooklyn having back of him 16,000 healthy, honorable white men, willing to nurse him and pay for his doctor's hilts, pay for his treatment in the hospital, if hec essary, ready to get him employment if he is out of work and ready to encourage him It. he has lost hope. There is not a night buej that a man, if a member of the order, may. be: received into councils of honorable men asi a brother.

He can have entertainment, social; enjoyment, form acquaintances and friend ships, and no man should be frightened out 5)t the order or deterred from, joining it by fateei statements. The. expense of membershlpiaj the order is less this year than It was two; years ago. and. the order is to day in better, condition financially than ever before in ita history.

The only subject discussed in. thai supreme council out of which this mlsinforma i tlon has come, was a proposed change in thai assessments so as to make it easier for youngj men and old men, and increase the assess ments a little upon men in middle life, whenij they are best able to produce. Whertlheri such a change will be made depends upon thai subordinate councils. If the members thlnlel it is more equitable and will make the burdensi of assessments and dues easier to be the change will be made. If they do not, change will not bo made."

S. Anderson, the treasurer of thoj South Brooklyn savings bank, will sail lop Europe to morrow on tho steamer Puerst Bismarck, to be gone a couple of months. Mr. Anderson Is a well known figure In tha banking world, having been connected with, tha South Brooklyn savings bank for twenty seven years. This is his first extended leave of absence during that time.

He will go toj Cherbourg then to Paris, where he willi stay for some time, and will see Holland: and a good deal of Great Britain before returns. HE WANTED A SMALL HAND. "It is said," he remarked reflectively, "that women's hands are growing larger." "Yes?" she returned inquiringly. "Yea," ho assorted. "And tho worst of it is that there is every likelihood that this tendency will continue." "Yes!" she said, in the same inquiring tone.

"Yes," ho repeated. "You see, the bicycle1 and golf and tenuis and other sports that worn en have recently takon up are responsible for it." "In that case," Bhe said, with a glance at her own dainty hands, "you'd hotter speak quick if you want a small onb." He realized that it was the opportunity of a lifotimo and ho spoke promptly. Chicago Post. THE EASIEST WAY OUT. A committee from tho grand jury called on a city official the other day and asked to see his books and accounts.

"Don't keep any," he replied. "You don't keep any aocounxs?" repeated, the amazed grand jurors "in chorus. "No; don't know how." "Don't you know, sir, that it is a misdomcan or not to koop accounts of your official transactions?" I and I know it is a felony to keep 8 counts and keep them wrong." San EranQiscfl Nme Sarsaparilla vigilance observed, a violation of the law would bo attended with such dangers of de tectlon that tho unlawful practice so common at present would be effectually stopped, to the Immense improvement of the harbor." SOLDIERS DRILL BY MOONLIGHT. Their Movemdhts Considerably Interfered With by Spectators. The drill of the Fourteenth regiment at the Prospect park parade ground last night was not all that was anticipated.

Had the night been clear the light of the moon would have been sufficient, but the thin clouds that covered the sky most of the time made It a hard matter to distinguish distances. Furthermore, the soldiers' movements were hampered by a crowd of several thousand people, who had evidently come from all pans of the city to see the drill. Hundreds of wheelmen and women on their way to and from the Island entered the grounds and added to the confusion. The regiment reached the field about 8:30 o'clock and left an hour and a half later. The turnout i was remarkably good, the regiment parading ten commands, each sixteen files front.

Colonel Mlchell, Che other field officers and the adjutant were mounted. The drifll, which was by regiment in close order, was well executed. A large number of military men were present as spectators. It is hardly likely that other organizations will repeat the experiment, unless the field can be lighted and kept clear of outsiders. In case that can be done it is not Improbable that many regimental drills will be held there.

The armories are too small for regimental drills and during the summer months, when Indoor work is suspended, the Geveral commands would be only too glad to drill once in a while out of doors if they could do so in the cool of the evening.

A HINT TO MR. XTHLMANN. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: I wonder if Mr. Uhlmann, president of the cle ated railroad In Brooklyn, and our newspaper In New York have any idea of tho dim culties yes, 'the Impossibility of running the cars of the elevated railroad in connection with the bridge oars on the same track? At present tho cars run on ninety seconds headway, and the whole arrangement Is so Intricately interwoven in all Its parts that every part must work In to gether like the gearing of some great maohlno. If tho least thing occurs to disturb the harmony, there is trouble at onco.

A vast sum of money is being expended to doublo this service and run the trains forty five seoonds apart. This increases tho complication enormously, and tho necessity of having every part work to the very second Is In creased. To my mind, the idea, of a connection of trains between tho two systems would bo ery like an attempt to Incorporate the works of a Watorbury watch with a ahip's chronometer. No; the thing won't do. The bridge Is laid out for a specific arrangement, so far as trains aro con corned, and It must be kept to that purpose, and It Is imperative that any other i method of trans portat Ion.

roust conform to the bridge as it Is, and to be, so far as the trade Is concerned. Brooklyn, July 1890. JOHN WORK. 1.
