THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE SUNDAY, OfcJLY 26, 1896. DEATH OF MRS, JM, BROWN. YORK'S APPOINTMENTS, STRIKERS AND CONTRACTORS SCHUESSLER'S CREST SPORT to any other city or country In the world outside the United States. Although the strike has been decided upon conjointly with the garment workers of New York, the situation chere Is In many respects different from what It is in Brooklyn. The striking district here is as distinctive if It had been bounded by a Chinese wall, every evening in the year thousands of people swish past It on trolley car or elevated road, up Broadway, but so Intent on their own business that they do not know of Its existence.

The lines of race, labor and religion are perhaps more closely divided in this particular district than in any city in country. If the visitor traveling on a Broadway car eastward were to step off at McKlbben street and walk one block north this spring. While the present strike Is nominally conducted by the members of the executive board, at the request of this bady and at the urgent solicitation of a large number of strikers, Solotovsky has again practically assumed command. He has consented to do so in the meantime, without pay. A good deal ot the business, however, with which he was previously shouldered will bo discharged by the executive committee.

The most active members include Messrs. Rothenburg, Alexander and Aaronson. Many new lessons In the labor history of the district have been learned since the commencement of the strike. People of both sexes, all sizes, nationalities, dress and contour call from hour to hour at the strikers' headquarters, which are at 11 Seigel street, and the officers of the executive board at II Eweu street. The complaints that brought on the strike came mainly from' the mothers of families.

"Es is nicht maer zum aushalten; mein man mus striken," was the sentence that was poured in to the ear of Leader Solotovsky and the ether members of the committee for some weeks past. Interpreted this means: "I cannot stand this any longer; my husband must strike." "Bondzemo streikovatz do "We will strike until death," were the words used by other people who were rendered desperate by the condition of affairs. would bo confronted with an entirely different class of population than he would meet he had walked in the opposite direction from Broadway. He would on one side confront precisely the same population as he would find in a suburb of Warsaw. Children gambol on the pavements, conversing wich each other in a gibberish that would a professor of languages.

Papers in modern Hebrew are scattered on the newsstands, and it is mainly from these that people derive their daily intellectual sustenance. "These papers ought to be studied," said American pastor, who had been a close student of Hebrew, to an Eagle represen tative the otfiier day. "The breath of anarchy and socialism is waited from their columns day by day. The people are an honest and harmless race, but the publication of such literature is MEETING STRIKING TAILORS. dangerous.

Modern Hebrew should be studied by some of our public meu." It is in the dii strict referred to that the strike has been precipitated. For the past week groups of miserably clad men and women might be seen at every street corner, conversing eagerly on tihe progress of the dispute. The majority of the strikers seem to understand each other, although they speak in a babel tongues. The Russian, Polish. Hungarian, German, Hebrew and Slav languages are heard every side.

Indeed, the unanimity of action, however, among the working people has been surprising, not only to the contractors and manufacturers, but to the public as well. Driven to the point of starvation, these people have risen in revolt against what is known as The sweating ays tern. Legi slatJlon, at the request of tihe labor party. ha'S led repeatedly to an Inquiry Into tfhe grievances of the people working imder this stem, but with litale ameliora'tlon so far as the people of the eastern district sweating section are concerned.

RAINES LAW CLUBS, ORGANIZATIONS DEVOTED DISTINCTLY TO SOCIABILITY. Large Increase in Incorporations Since the New Excise Measure Went Into Effect.

There have been many pleasure clubs organized since the Haines law went into effect. Every week in July has seen a larger number of such clubs applying lor incorporation to the supreme court than July of previous years. The clubs have eotne to be known as Haines law club, and although it is not a fact that all of these pleasure clubs seek diversion in beer or light wines, yet It is pretty certain that a very large per cent, of then: are termed through liquor dealers as the headquarters are often over liquor saloons. It was said at the time the Raines i law was in the legislation that drinking 1 would be checked by the operation of the law, but it would now seem that, the liquor dealers have found a way of dodging the statute and selling drinks.

1 of i i I I The Special Commissioner of Jurors Has Eight Places TO GIVE TO GOOD DEMOCRATS. Mr. Finnegan and the Deputyship Alderman Guilfoyle Danger of Losing His Influence The Gravesend Avenue Matter in the Light of a Complaint Against Him Important MattersUpon Which the Board Has Failed to Act. Bernard J. Yorki special commissioner of jurors, has the appointment of one deputy, two assistants, a chief clerk, two clerks and two process servers.

The clerks and the process servers riust be taken from eligible lists and Mr. York has given public notice that he will receive applications of candidates until July 2S. These applicants must undergo civil Service examination under the auspices of the state commission. Mr. York says that they will be required to satisfactorily pass an examination iu these subjects: Writing from dictation, copying from manuscript, handwriting and spelling and arithmetic.

Special consideration will be given to a knowledge of the streets New York and Brooklyn. The salary of the clerks will be $1,200 each and of the process servers $1,000 each. The position of deputy commissioner is one much sought after, for It will carry with it salary of probably $2,500 a year. Michael E. Finnegan appears to have been Very confident that he would secure the place.

The boys say he has been shaking' hands with himself over the prospect. Mr. York is visit ing Mr. McLaughlin at Jamesoprt, and Mr. Finnegan is said to be duo there to morrow.

Mr. Y'ork will be in town again to morrow and then the matter may be finally settled. Meanwhile, there is a candidate for the deputyship under cover, who is reported fo be making a stifl fight. Pie 13 a brother of ex supervisor Judge and Lawyer Judge. Some of Mr.

Judge's friends expressed tho opinion last evening that he would be appointed despite all the, confidence manifested by Mr. Finnegan. There are plenty of candidates for the positions of assistants and chief It Is believed that Mr. York will return to morrow with the list of the lucky ones in his pocket. The gossips around the city hall are saying that Alderman John Gullfoyle'sinfluenceamong his Democratic colleagues in the board is becoming much impaired.

They attribute this, to several causes, chief among which Is Mr. Gu iilfoyle's apparent desire to curry favor with the Republican majority in order that he may be able to put through his own measures. How muen foundation there may be for this sort of talk can not here be said; but it is a fact that several Democratic aldermen are complaining of some of Guilfbyle's methods and threatening to make a break in the near future. Guil ylc's leadership in the board has thus far never been questioned. He is an experienced, energetic and nimble minded politician and has been able to secure more for the Democrats from the Republican majority man any other member of his party.

He has, Incidentally, done something for Guilfoyle at the same time. The net results for both have not been very great, but they are worth considering when it is borne In mind that the Republicans have overwhelming control of the board. One of the latest complaints against Guilfoyle is his attitudo in connection with the proposed removal of obstructions from Gravesend avenue. The railroad committee visited the ave nue the other day to investigate the etate mon'U made by residents down that way, that the avenue was a dangerous condition, part ly because of tho fact that In many places the railroad track was above grade. Mr.

Guilfoyle returned with the personal report that he had seen no dangerous condition of tilings and that, in fact, the avenue was all right. Mr. Guilfoyle is a member of the railroad committee and may endeavor to have it report In accordance with his views. Such a report would be antagonized and would preclpitato a break between him and his Democratic colleagues, for a number of them say that they are ready to fight him on the Gravesend avenue situation. The adjournment of the board of aldermen until the middle of September has left a number of important measures pending.

There will be a meeting of the board on Tuesday, but it will be 'for special purposes and it is not considered likely that there will be another session until September. Among the matters left undisposed ot are the gas contracts and the applications of several of the surface railroad companies for extensions of their routes. The gas company is continuing to light streets and public buildings without a contract and the presumption is that they will charge at the rates paid In 1S95. Thus far the company has received nothing on account this year. There is a hitch in the committee on gas and electricity on the question of the period for which the new contract should run.

Under a law of 1895 a contract may be made for one, three, five or ten years. It is understood that the company desires a ten years' contract, while the committee Is divided between that and a shorter term. There has been no meeting of the committee on the subject and Is not likely to be for some time. Alderman Lelch, the chairman, has left town and none of the other members of the committee evinces any outward interest in the matter. As to the applications of tho surface rail road companies the board will, in all probability, take no action pending the proceed ings before the state railroad commission.

Another matter of Interest in connection with the railroad corporations is tho proposed in vestlgation of the Brooklyn Heights company's express business. Alderman Oltrogge had adopted, several weeks ago, a resolution directing the railroad committeo to Investigate as to the right of the company to carry on this business. Nothing has been heard of it since and the supposition is that It has been burled. The proposed investigation of the Thirty ninth street trolley accident has also fallen through and Bert Relss' Mutual Gas and Electric scheme has been quietly buried in committee without the slightest prospect of resurrection. NOT UNJUSTLY FINED.

Commissioner Woodruff Denies the Truckmen's Statements. On Friday four truck drivers wero brought before Justice Teale in the Flatbush avenue police court, charged with driving loaded wagons on the main roadway of the Ocean parkway. Tho men, when arraigned, pleaded guilty and all declared that the side roads were unfit for use and as this is the only wagon route to Coney Island they were compelled to use tho road they did. Owing to the peremptory phraseology of tho ordinance re ferring io the case Justice Teale said that he had no alternative but to impose the fine of each, remarking as he did so, that it seemed very unjust to tho men. Justice Teale also said that he would write to Park Commissioner Woodruff about the affair.

Ac crrdlngly, tho justice addressed a communi cation to Commissioner Woodruff, explaining the case as it came before him arid advising the suspension ot the ordinance until tho bad plde roads are fixed. This afternoon Justice Teale received a reply, in which Commission cr Woodruff raid that he would not susDend the ordinance nor remit the fines of the men punished. In explanation of his determined stand Mr. Woodruff said that he had invest! gated the case and found that the roads are not impassable, as stated, and that the men are old offenders. Furthermore, explained the commissioner, the men wero arrested near the park end of the boulevard, where the side roads are in fine condition.

PRESENTIMENT OF THE END. Although Her Husband Was 111 When. They Left for Morristown, the Wife Expressed the Belief That She Would Not Survive Him The News Entirely Unexpected Funeral Services on. Monday at Her Late Home. Mrs.

William Brow of Melrose park, Flat bush, died yesterday ait Morristown, N. where she was spending the summer in company with her husband and two daugnterc The news her death came as a shock to her many friends in this city and partlcularly to those who had known her Intimately, for it was entirely unexpected. Although Mrs. Brown had been an invalid for a number ot years, she wa3 In her usual health when she. left for at the beginning of thie.

month. A peculiar circumstance was recalled, by an intimate friend of the family when informed of Mrs. Brown's death. Oppressed by sad forebodings and feeling, probably, a vague presentiment of the coming end, she left her Flatbush home with great reluctance. Mr.

Brown had been ailing for several weeks and his physician advised him to try the air ot Morristown, from Which he had derived benefit on several former occasions. No argument ccudd dissuade Mrs. Brown from accompanying her husband. On the day of their departure she said she felt that although Mr. Brown was ill and she was as well as she had been a.t any time for fifteen years, he would survive her.

Mrs. Brown, who was within a few months of 70 years of age, was known not only in. Flatbush, but throughout Brooklyn for her charitable works. She commanded larga wealth. It is well known that nobody ever appealed to her in vain for a worthy cause and she gave liberally.

Among tho Flatbush poor she was much beloved. Many, many times has her generous hand brought solace and succor to humble homos in the back streets of the old town. Yet only half the population Flatbush knew her by sight. Thatiwas be cause for fifteen years she had been physically unable to leave her house except in a carriage. Mrs.

Brown was not connected officially with any charitable institution of late years, but to the day of her death she took an especial interest in the Brooklyn Home for Consumptives, the Brooklyn Home for Destitute Children and the society of the King's Baughters of Flatbush, organized for benevolent purposes. To these her bounty was unlimited The Flatbush churches, without distinction as to denomination, have been assisted by Mrs. Broj. when money was needed for any special purpose. Although a devout Christian and a regular attendant at the old Dutch Reformed church in Flatbush, sho was not a member of any church.

who have been close to Mrs. Brown for many years speak of her as a remarkably bright woman, whose wit and humor made hr a most entertaining companion. She was born in Scotland and came to this country with her parents when quite young. She was very proud of the land of her birth, and spoke with a marked Scotch accent. Before her marriage she was Miss Jessie Dunsmore.

Her mother kept a large millinery store on Fulton street, in this city. It was there she met Mr. Brown, who was employed as a clerk by her mother. Their married life has been a singularly happy one. Mr.

Brown, subsequent to his marriage, went into busi ness on Hi? own account and became a wealthy For fifty one years husband and wife had, hardly been out of each other's sight. Mrs. Brownls late Flatbush home is in the colonial style almost a hundred vears old. It occupies the center of the block known as Melrsse park, a beautiful plot of ground, studded with handsome trees and well kept flower beds. Back of the house are Mr.

Brown's extensive greenhouses. Mrs. Brown was exceedingly fond of flowers, a taste which she had in common with her husband. The deceased leaves four dauc hters im of whom are married, and one son. They are Mrs.

Adrian Martense, Mrs. W. K. Clark sou, Miss Sarah Miss Grace L. and Will iam A.

Brown. Mrs. Martense received the news of her mother's death at White Lake, where she and Mr. Martense are spending the summer. Mr.

and Mrs, Clarkson and Will in A. A. Brown were notified of Mrs. Brown's serious illness Friday night and at once left for Morristown. Mrs.

William A. Browi is at present in Europe lor her health. The funeral services will be held at Mrs Brown's late residence in Flatbush at o'clock to morrow afternoon. STATE HOSPITAL AFFAIES. DR.

EVAN F. SMITH RELINQUISHES THE SECRETARYSHIP. Much Work and No Pay Make Him Throw Up the Position Had to Meet Expenses. fThe managers of the Long Island state hospitals have awarded contracts for coal for the coming year. Parrish, Phillips Co.

get tho contract for the institutions in Flatbush, which will require 9.C00 tons. The price to be paid is $26,850. For the St. Johnland institutions about 15,000 tons will bo required. The contract for them went to the firm of Pealo, Peacock Co.

of 1 Broadway, New Y'ork. The total amount of this contract is something over $30,000. The next meeting of the board of managers will be held August 5 at the offices in the Arbucklo building. At this meeting a secretary is to be appointed In place of Dr. Evan F.

Smith, who handed in his resignation on July 8. Dr. Smith will continue a member of the board of eight. His posblou as secretary was honorary. Dr.

Sylvester, superintendent ot tho hospi'tail, has been acting as temporary secretary since Dr. Smith gave it up. The place Jias a considerable amount of clerical work attached to It and it is doubtful if any member will care to take It under the present conditions. It is probable that some provision will be made to pay a secretary. Tne aumes are the recording of the minutes ot the meetings and making copies of them for the state commission in lunacy and the members themselves.

There Is also a 'large amount of coresppndenco to be handled and many inquiries from people who desire inform aaion about the hospital to be aaiswered. Dr. Smith has been besieged even at his house by persons in search of information. He had to pay the expenses of the place out ot his own pocket, an item of no mean account, and this was another burden. board sometime ago passed a resolution allowing him a reasonable sum for expenses and Incidentals.

2:45 being the hour There was a strong wind from the west which blew almost down the stretch, helping the men in the spriiu, but retarding them greatly in the turn from the back stretch into the finish. The official? hud bard work in getting the races cff. and there was considerable confusion over the absence of a starter. The men were started with the hell, except in the handicap, when a megaphone used. The starts were all very ragged.

Daniel Smith, who had charge of affair: worked hard for success, and that matters did not go right was no fault of his. The police were uttc rly incompetent and men were permitted to crowd on the track at will. The boxes were filled with quite an array of notables and some well known faces were seen in other parts of the grand stand. There were a lot of visitors frem out of town, who had come to see the police races. Representatives front different cities were present to encourage their men in these events.

The mile race, in which the otticers raced, was a thrilling contest. There was the hottest kind oi a finish in the final for second place between a Brooklyn and a New. York man, in which Samuel McElroy. the cycle path policeman, finished about two ahead oi the New Yorker. A New York man won the race by a.

magnificent spurt from the quarter pole. This was Schuessler. He had hung behind for two laps and as the men were making the turn into the backstretch he rode up on the hill and came down past the bunch at a smashing pace. He got a dozen yards ahead before the bunch got under way, and although tjiey could not catch him they gained on him so that he finished only five yards ahead of McElroy and McKay. These tv.o rode a kill ing race from the turn up to the tape and i lor the last ten varus their handle bars seemed to be locked.

They did lock finally and McElroy went down after he crossed the tape. There was a bad spill in the three mile police race, in which Oscar Finn, the Brooklyn Djan, went down and thus ruined bis chances. He got on his wheel again, but was half a lap behind and could not catch up. McElroy got third place in this race. There was another bad spill in the final of third of a mile scratch, in which Owen of the South Brooklyns went down with Barbeau.

The latter broke his collar bone. In another Bplll in the backstretch during one of the heats Ross of the Kings County wheelmen and Berger of the Rush wicks went down and the former was carried off quite badly hurt. An was made that, the mile invitation race for professionals was off and Announcer Burns read the agreement with Bald and Sanger, in which they agreed to ride with four cr more riders. Bald and Sanger claimed that the agreement limited jraeo to lour men, and tiey would not because Berlo. Alien and Butier were invited to ride.

The first two claimed that the later three were not in their class. The men, it is saad. may be suspended by Chairman Gideon of the L. A. W.

racing "board." Teddy Goodman made his debut in the professional ranks in the two mile handicap. but he could do no better than to get fourth place. Roy McDonald alao raced for the first time sines his return from Europe in this event, and get second place. The men were all bunched at the end of tho first mile, and thereafter it was a loaf. The aotora' ml'ie race created considerable Interest.

Several of the riders appeared in costume. Fred Campbell appeared as a bloomer girl with a blende wig. The race wa won by David M. Murray, who is a member of Kings County wheolmen, but he rode in a K. C.

W. racing suit. Murray has played in "Shore Acres and "In Sight ci St. Paul's." Bobby Gaylor an John C. Rice fell att the start, and Gaylor created considerable merriment by his efforts to mount his waeel again.

He made a number ot unsuccessful attempts, aid finally gave it up. C. A. Morgan, a come dian, who finished third, was disqualified for coasting over the tape. Le Boy See gave an exhibition of fancy riding, which was very creditable, and Charles T.

Earl rode twohirds of a mile againtc time, paced by the Kings County wheelmen's quad. His time was 1:1.8 1 5. which was not so good as he did at the Kiirgs County wheelmen's meet. The best exhibition, however, was George Ruppert. the son of the brewer, who rode a mile in 1 :5." 2 o.
