The Hempstead Bicycle club contributed $1 for each member. It was resolved to go ahead with tho work as soon as the money was in the hands of the treasurer.

Those present favored the Immediate organization of a trolley company to operate a road to Long Beach on the south, with connections with Hempstead, Garden City and Glen Cove on the north, the capital to be $50,000. The right of way over the new bridge and on Long Beach has already been offered the company by the Long Beach association. The stockholders will be mostly property owners along the line of the proposed route. CHILDRENS' BALL. Averne, L.

July 23 There was a great gathering of Arverne's little society folk at the first children's ball of the season, given last evening at the Arverne hotel. Not only did the large attendance include young people sojourning with their parents at the Arverne, but many from the neighboring cottages were present. The children were prettily dressed and their fancy dances attracted many guests to the parlors, where the frolic was held. The music was furnished by the hotel orchestra, led by Professor Joseph Altschule. Some of the attractively dressed little girls were: Miss Cora Weise of Galveston, she wore a handsome party dress of Dresden slik.

with ohlffon and lace trimmings; Miss Clara Spero from the Lyonhurst cottage, blue silk and chiffon, lace trlmmlnes: Miss Olive Levy of New York, pink slik and chiffon, lace trimming; Miss Gertrude Jokoska, baby blue silk with pink ribbons and lace trimmings: Miss Hortense Levy, blue silk hico trimmings: Miss Ida Kohler. light blue silk, lace trimmings; Miss Edith Kohler.

Among others ponds still yield a large body of water, until finally the drought begins to tell upon or lower the main spring of the island, so called a roservoir of water, which, underlying the surface of the ground at various depths, has itself a surface slope toward tide water of about twelve foot to the mile. This underground reservoir owes its existence to the accumulation of many years' rains, held back to tho slope above mentioned by the resistance to movement of water through the sand, in its efforts to obtain the tide level, so it would be several years emptying Itself without any addition of rain, and it is the discharge from this reservoir under the conditions named which we call the minimum flow of tho streams, and which may be called permanent from the fact that this reservoir is sure to receive supplies from rain before its rate of flow can be sensibly diminished by discharge through the "There is abundant evidence that the time is rapidly approaching when Brooklyn can only rely upon Queens county for the water which can be caught from the ordinary rainfall. This will probably not average over 60,000,000 gallons per day, after deducting what is required by the inhabitants of the water shed for household use, drainage, sewerage, etc. "A prominent engineer says the problem presented by the proposition to lay the third conduit is not the increased consumption of water per capita, or the increased population of the territory to be supplied, neither is it the quantity of water which can be temporarily drawn from bored or driven wells into reservoirs or the conduit, but the actual available supply of water in Queens county which can be drawn upon during the probable life of the conduit. If an average of 100 000,000 gallons of water per day can be relied upon for, say ten years, then it will pay to lay tho third pipe.

If not, then the only advantage in laying it is insurance against the disastrous consequences of a break, either in the brick aqueduct or the old pipe line. With an abundant supply from the interior of the state the new conduit would be worse than useless, the present conduits, reservoirs, being amply sufficient for the protection of the city against a water famine should an accident temporarily shut off the main supply." WATER EXTENSION. Freeport, L. July 23 The water board last evening paid J. Richardson $2,017.47 on account of his contract on the water extension, leaving a balance of $500 yet due him The original contract was $4,226.64.

Opinion of an Expert on the Value of the Island's Subterranean Water Shed. How Much "Water Can Be Obtained From the Present or Other Available Sources of Supply Prom Queens County? (Special to the Eagle.) Rockville Center, L. July 23 A reporter of the Eagle has secured the following statement on the question the Long Island water supply from an expert who has made the subject a life long study and it will be of special Interest in view of the project to ay a new conduit. He says: "The question of the capacity of the new conduit, admitting that its completion is necessary for the protection of the present water supply, depends entirely upon the quantity of water which can be obtained to send through it. A casual examination of the Bources of the present water supply will reveal numerous evidences of the gradual drying up of the surface ponds and streams.

The ponds at Jamaica are perhaps not worthy of consideration since they are contaminated by the sewage of the village of Jamaica and ere practically useless. At Springfield the ponds are seemingly fairly well filled, but they are receiving at least a portion of the sewage of the village of Springfield and probably Hollis, Queens and perhaps Floral Park, if it be true that there is a subterranean river running to the southwest across the island. At Clear Stream and Valley Stream the swamps are being apparently being dried out and the brooks exhausted. At places where the flow of the water was sufficient to necessitate the building of a bridge by the Long Island railroad it is now as dry as a bone. Smith's pond is anything but a model reservoir, with the village of Rockville Center 6n one side and a large cemetery on the other.

The Hempstead storage reservoir and the intermediate ponds are furnishing excellent water except as it is contaminated by the sewage of Horse Brook and the village of Hempstead. The Free! and end Milburn reservoir Is of course not to be considered as a source, or even a conservator of the water supply. Eastward at Millburn, Freeport, Wantagh and Massapequa the surface of tfce swamps are being dried off. streams have ceased to flow and thero is a general condition of aridity and desolation all brought about in the last two or three years. These facts are the more significant when the heavy rainfall and the absence of the conditions for rapid evaporation during the last few months are considered.

What would the conditions have been had the season been like than of 1894? "The dried out condition of the surface may of course be due to temporary or local conditions; although this fact does not mitigate the nuisance and damage to surrounding territory. It has, however, in this case been practically demonstrated by able engineers that the surface and subterranean water supply of the island is gradually diminishing, both from natural and artificial causes. There is abundant evidence that streams in no way influenced by Brooklyn's water system have diminished greatly in the flow of water and in numerous instances disappeared altogether, except in time of excessive rainfall. This however, is a side question, but one which must be taken into consideration. In the report of the commissioner of public works for 1893 it is stated that there Is an important oiminution of the flow of streams in our present watershed, which is due to the rapid destruction of the woods and clearing of the swamps.

This diminution will increase each year, and we should, even at this late day, purchase such woods and swamps as are left along the lines of streams. This diminution of the water supply from the clear ing of woods from other watersheds is re uonauij su suuwn in oionei Ludlow re port oi the water supply of Philadelphia. topeaKing of the Schulykill river: 'In 1816 the now was estimated at 500,000,000 gallons per day; In 1825, at 440,000,000 gallons; in 1867 at 400,000,000 gallons, and in 1874 245,000 000 gallons, which is less than half the flow in In hi3 report regarding the extension oi tne system east of Rockville Center. I. M.

De Varona said: 'The absolute necessity of preserving the wooded swamps, in order to prevent the falling off of the supply, has too eu iuauu eviueni to require more than tais passing mention. "Unfortunately the advice of the eommis Kloner was sives too late. Th knfla vii.h Ing the oreeks and ponds had already become as building sices or truck farms and their purchase and reservation would have bankrupted the city. Even aov the taxes on the lands owned hy tho city in the incorporated villages is becoming a very important item in the expenses of maintaining the wate. Bupply.

Tho building of great storage reservoirs, the clearing off of swamp land and the exposure of the land and water to the evaporating effects of wind and sun, has done much to hasten the decrease and final exhaustion oif the water supply of the island. "The important question now is, how Jnuch water can be obtained from the present or other available sources of supply from Queens county? Suffolk county is for the time being, at least, out of the question. The total drainage area of the present water shed is 180.75 square miles, of which it is estimated 156.85 square miles are used. It is divided as follows: Snuare Not USftl. o.so 2.50 mik'a used Jamaica 6 I'J sa Eprlngfield Clear Stream Valley Stream Rockville Center Hempstead Millburn East Meadow New Bride S.S7 SO s.si 25.79 3.

Martin had big load of furniture, which, of course, he had to take along to the police station. Robez, also, was obliged to cart his meat to Grant street. Of the other two prisoners, Martinelli was driving a fruit and Hetzel a grocery wagon. The procession, escorted by Cycle Policemen Marshall and Peten, attracted considerable atten tion as it passed through Flatbush. NO WIND, NO RACE.

The lack of wind prevented a decision as to the winner in the jib and mainsail yacht race at Fort Hamilton yesterday afternoon. There was a good enough breeze to start the boats at 3 o'clock. Loftin Johnson's Perdita was first to cross and nearly a 'minute later George Gelston's Tlddledy Winks II crossed in pursuit. Carl Moore Olive and Irving Pitt's Ethel crossed the line together thirty seconds later Gelston's boat caught the Per dita at the end of a mile and took the lead. As the boats neared Coney Island point the wind failed, and the Ethel was so far behind that she dropped out and returned with the tide.

Tho other three kept it up until the wind died out altogether, and by that time the tide changed. All three crews had to use their oars to get back home, and it was a hard pull against the current. The race will be resalled Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, over the same course. PRESBYTERIANS' PICNIC. The "Wyona street Presbyterian church held its annual outing and picnic to day at Rari tan beach.

The members and friends, numbering over five hundred, filled a train of five elevated cars at Van Siclen avenue this morning at 10 o'clock and rode to the foot of South Fifth street, where they embarked on the barges Cocsackie and Caledonia for the beach. The pastor, the Rev. Mr. Frich, Mr. Harts and Mr.

Hemmings were the committee in charge. ITS ANNUAL STEIN" DINNER Members of the Marine and Field C)ub of Bath Beaoh Sit Down to a Unique Feast, The Marine and Field club of Bath Beach held its annual stein dinner at its club house, on Cropsey avenue, overlooking Gravesend bay, last night. This is one of the two most important club events in the year and over one hundred members were on band to take part in the festivities. The steins used are the property of the individual club members and most of them have the dates of every dinner given since it was inaugurated. They ornament the club's dining room during the year.

The diners were on hand at 7 o'clock, as also was the band from the First United States artillery, Fort Hamilton, under Leader Koltscn. President Touro Robertson welcomed the steiners to a discussion of the menu prepared by Steward George Keifer, the principal dishes of which were roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. President Robertson had the seat of honor at the head of the largest of the four tables and Vice President H. Garrison was seated close by, as also were F. B.

Fish, chairman of the finance com mittee and Charles Triller, chairman of the entertainment committee. When the cigars were lighted speeches were made and songs were sung. There are many good volce3 in the club and the choruses were given with a will. Those who sat down to dinner were: Georire P. Tobv.

6 ooooooooooooooooooooooboooo Judge Ash Looking for an Assembly Nomination Suffolk's Turn for Congressional Honors. Richmond Hill, July 23 Judge W. Henry Ash of this village has been asked by his friends in tho vicinity to run for the nomination to the assembly In the First district. He has been assured of enough suport to make his nomination reasonably sure if he should care to run. Tho present assemblyman, Frederic Storm, is after the nomination for congress to succeed Mr.

McCormick. Judge Ash is strong In the western section of the district and Mr. Storm is strong around Flushing. There is talk of a deal by which Storm is to aid in nominating Ash for assemblyman, Ash in return to deliver a number of votes for Storm in the convention which will nominate a man for congress. When spoken to by an Eagle reporter regarding his candidacy Judge Ash said: "Yes, I have been asked to stand for the Republican nomination for assemby, but I have not yet made up my mind to do so.

I have a good many friends In the district and I think I could get the nomination. I understand that Mr. Storm Is not a candidate for reelection, but is looking for McCormlck's seat in congress. I shall decide in a very few days whether I want to run or not, and if I determine to make the fight I will begin active work Immediately." The Citizens' Non Partisan league of this place, at present the dominant force In village politics, has nominated Henry I. Newell for school trustee to succeed John R.

Hackett. who Is not a candidate for re election. The election takes place on August 4. On the last Thursday in August a meeting of the league will be held to nominate candidates for village offices. The election takes place September 17.

There has been an idea current for some time that Alrlck H. Man, president of the village, would not be a candidate for the office again, but it was stated yesterday by an influential member of tha league that he would be nominated again. He owns a large part of the northern section of the village and has been foremost In advocating improvements. His opponent Is likely to be John H. Elderi, who ran against him last year.

Easthampton. L. July 23 Dr. Levi L. Howell of Riverhead is now permanently located In Easthampton.

Dr. Howell has been a politician of some prominence In Suffolk, county, having been a member of the Democratic county committee for a number of years, and during the campaign of 1S92 stumped the county for the Democratic nominees. Dr. Howell told an Eagle reporter today that he should vote for McKinley and said that every good Democrat should do the same. R.

Donoho. a resident artist and a Democrat of pronounced views, said he had voted the Democratic ticket ever since he became of age. but that the question before the people now is not one of party, but one of patriotism, and he, too. said he would vote for McKinley as the only way of killing a movement which may endanger the republic. Mr.

Donoho is an artist of considerable note and has captured some of the exhibition prizes at New York. He was so enthused over the election of Cleveland In '92 that he painted a huge transparency, which was the leading feature in the jollification parade given by the Democrats at that time. Babylon, L. July 23 The caucus of the high tax party met in Halcyon hall last evening, and nominated the following officers for the annual village election, to be held on August 4: President, David Ricketts, trustee, Andrew Jackson Weeks; collector, ex Sheriff Stephen Jennings Wilson; treasurer, Edward Allen Scudder. David Ricketts, the nominee for president, was last year the successful candidate on the low tax ticket for the same office.

Last night he was chosen as the standard bearer of his former opponents. Ex Sheriff Wilson, the nominee for collector, will be 93 years ora in September. He has held the office of collector since the village was first incorporated and will probably receive the indorsement of the low tax party caucus this evening. Riverhead. L.

July 23 Already the race for the Republican nomination for congress in the First congressional district becomes interesting, particularly so in the east end of this county. Suffolk county politicians say the nomination rightfully belongs to them, and already several candidates are being boomed by their friends. Joseph M. Belford, chairman of the county committee of Suffolk, is a candidate, and Is very active. He is considered a strong man, having done much active service for the party as secretary and then as chairman of the county committee.

This fact will strengthen his candidacy considerably. Bel ford's friends expect their candidate to meet with favor among Queens county Republican politicians, should that county concede the nomination to a Suffolk county man. The declaration of Belford's candidacy has caused a sensation among politicians, and particularly among aspirants for the nomination. Belford is a hustler and has a good part of the machinery of the county at his back. J.

Eugene Parker of Shelter Island, who also aspires to congressional honors, and was prominently a candidate two years ago, has not as yet declared himself. His friends seem now to doubt that he will again enter the field. Joseph Nimmo of Huntington is prominent ly mentioned as a candidate, and so also is ex Judge Tnomas Young of that town. All the candidates are equally well qualified for tne omce. Of course, it is anyone's race as yet, but the fact that the shrewd chairman of the county committee has entered the field gives promise or a lively canvass.

July 23 A meeting to organize a new trolley company was held in Library hall last night.

Captain Phillips actod as chairman and H. D. Bristol secretary. Before tho discussion of the question Four Weeks of Married Life Enough for Mrs. Van Hoiiten.

SHE WAS A BRIDE AT SIXTEEN. Her Husband Only a Year Older All Canarsio Talking About the Green Eyed Monster That Has Invaded Their Paradise The Young Wife Blames a Local Belle and Her Mother Is Coming From Cleveland to Have the Marriage Annulled. Rudolph Van Houten, aged 17, and his 16 year old wife LilHe, both of Canarsie, have decided after four weeks of married life, that they were not meant for each other. The youthful couple were married without their parents' consent on Sunday, June 28, at the Williams avenue M. E.

church parsonage by the Rev. Mr. Jones, rector of the church. The parents of both opposed the marriage and the bride's mother has written from Cleveland, where she resides, to the effect that she intends coming East immediately to take steps toward having the marriage annulled if possible. Mrs.

Van Houten was formerly Miss Llllie Hoyt and she resided with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. William Hoyt, oa Main street, near Cordes' lane, in Canarsie village. She is quite a pretty brunette, short and rather plump. Her husband is the son of Mr.

and Mrs. William Van Houten, who live on East Ninety fourth "street and Baisley's lane. Rudolph sells fruits and vegetables from a wagon in Carnarsle village. He and Lillle were sweethearts for a long time and their marriage was brought about in the following manner, according to the young wife: Lillie's mother and stepfather reside In Cleveland, but Lillle has preferred to make her home in Canarsie, where she has many relatives. She lived from time to time with each.

A little over four weeks ago she told her sweetheart that she was getting tired of living the way she had been, first at one house and then at another, and said she wished she had a home of her own. He was not slow to take the hint and told her he was ready to provide her with a home as soon as she named the day. This she did on June 28. while they were with a party of friends at Carnarsle shore. They decided to 'get mar ried at onco and took a Nassau car to Pastor Williams' residence, where the ceremony was performed.

They knew they were too young to get married lawfully but visions of the lit tle home appeared before them and as they concluded that a white lie wouldn't harm anybody they gave their ages to the minister. Rudolph as 21 and Lillle as 18. After the ceremony they returned to Canarsie. Lillle went to the house of an uncle and Rudolph went to his own home. When their marriage was announced Lillie's grandparents and Mr.

and Mrs. Van Houten, were angry at first but finally resolved to make the best of the matter and the young couple went housekeeping with the grooms' parents. A few days later Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Van Houten gave an "At home" and all of their young friends were present to wish them Joy and peace in their wedded life.

The following two weeks were passed in perfect happiness. Suddenly in was rumored that Llllie had become jealous and that she and Rudolph had quarreled, the result being that Lillle had left the little home she had so much desired to possess. An Eagle reporter yesterday asked the girl wife how much of the current rumors were true, and though she denied that she had separated from her young husband she admitted that they could not agree and she blamed a well known local beauty as being partly responsible for the unpleasant state of affairs. "We were all down at Canarsie Shore one night' said Llllie, and my husband had his arms around a girl's waist and beside that he walked all the way home with her. Another time he would not go to Flatlands with a party or us in a farm wagon unless the girl went, and when she consented to go he jumped right in the wagon.

I am satisfied that we can't get along together. My mother wrote me a letter from Cleveland saying she was mad because I got married. She says I am too young and says she is coming to Brooklyn this week; to have the marriage annuled." Mrs. William Van Houten, mother of the young husband, said in defense of her son, and as a counter charge against his wife, that the latter does not treat her husband right. "She is out all the time, and if she would only settle down a little everything would be all right." Mr.

Van Houten, said: "You see the whole trouble 13 that they got married too young. That boy of mine Is only 17 years old, and she is just past 16. Why. that minister ought to be arrested. I would like to see tnem separated, because they are worrying me to death with their quarrels.

Lillle Is to blame, I think. Rudolph Is a steady going teuow ana is ame to provide for his wife." The reporter was unable to find Rudolph to get his side of the case, but his father says he is willing to do the right thing by Llllie. FARMER'S WAGON CAPSIZES.

Dresser Says Her Daughter, Long Absent From Home, Is Under I the Strange Power of a Man. Four months ago pretty Amelia Dresser left the home of her parents at Snedlker and Blake avenues, ostensibly to obtain employment in New York. Since that time, although they have made every effort to learn of the where abouts of their daughter, she has not been seen by her parents. The mother, who has suffered much from grief, says she believes that the young woman is under the strange or hypnotic power of a man in New York, and has appealed to the police to aid her in finding the young "woman. As Miss Dresser is 20 years of age the police can render no assistance in having her return to her parents against her wishes, should they succeed In locating her.

Before leaving her home the young woman, according to her mother's story, carefully packed her finest dresses in a trunk and had it sent to New York, the mother knows not where. Miss' Dresser also took her gold watch and two diamond rings. Her every day apparel she left behind. Several days after her departure a letter to her parents told of a fine situation she had secured with a godo salary attached. She was with French people, she wrote, but neglected to send the address.

Weeks passed and no other message came from the young woman. The mother became worried, hunted vp the letter again and closely examining the postmark on the envelope learned that it was mailed in Harlem. Across the bridge she went and. riding uptown to the post office where the letter was mailed, waited in the vicinity for the appearance of her missing daughter. Many times since then she has repeated tha trip until now she goes to New York almost every day to continue the search.

She may be seen, neatly dressod and with sad features crossing the bridge in the morning rush only to return at night She Is hopeful and un ceasing In her searoh. The father, Charles Dresser, is a baker, well to do and respected by his neighbors. Mrs. Dresser told the above story and added: "I cannot understand why Amelia should have left hex home. It is all so strange.

She had a happy home and loving parents. There is but one solution that I can offer. It is this: For some time before the poor girl went away she was paid some attention by a man, a neighbor, 60 years of age, and to him I believe all the trouble Is due. I think he knows where my daughter Is In New York, if she is not dead by this time. This man is employed In the custom bouse and derives a good income.

Oh, but he had such a strange influence over Amelia before she went away. I think she wants to return to her home, but cannot break the spell. Yea, I do go to New York and look for my daushter and some day I hope to meet her and induce her to return to us. "The only explanation of the girl's strange action Is that she was Injured by a fall from a swing while attending a picnic of St. Clement's church three years ago.

She struck the back of her head and was ill for some time. This may make her more susceptible to tha wiles of that man. "One day I me ta friend in New York who told me that she had seen Amelia and that my daughter had told her she was very homesick; and wanted to see us all, but could not return Just WEAKFISH ARE PLENTIFUL.
