The body of the Rev. Michael Murray, assistant pastor of St. Malachy's church on Van Slclen avenue, who Is supposed to have been drowned while in bathing at Rockaway park, Tuesday, has not yet been recovered, although searching parties still patrol the beach. The pastor, the Rev. Father Ward, and members of the parish, all express the opinion that the missing priest was drowned.

A report was circulated yesterday that a young woman had claimed to have seen the Rev. Mr. Murray at 1 o'clock on the day that he disappeared. This, however, could not be substantiated. The Rev.

Mr. Ward was seen at St. Malachy's parish house on Van Slclen avenue this, morning and had this to say about the sad affair: "I have not had any doubt that our good brother was drowned. There have been, naturally, numerous reports in circulation. From a personal investigation I feel confident that the body of Father Murray is in a deep hole about thirty feet west nf Curley's bath house.

I have learned that he went in bathing alone and that when several women and children came down to bathe he, being a very modest man, came out of the water and walked along the beach to the west, evidently to allow the women and children to enjoy the space within the ropes alone. He was last seen by the life saver. I am informed that the shore where Father Murray was lost ls very bold and it is probable that he wa3 unaware of the fact as It had been his custom to bathe within the roped space." At the beach to day it was suggested that the missing curate had been overcome by the heat and had taken refuge under the shrubbery on the beach. A search of the upland was then made but with no better success. The Rov.

Mr. Murray was a good swimmer and somewhat of an all arourid athlete. FAIR AT BATH BEACH. The annual fair for the benefit of St. Finbar's church, Bath Beach, was formally opened last night by Judge J.

He and a companion, named Charles Whitman, were seen to sneak aboard the train as it pulled out of the Patchogue depot about 2 o'clock.

The lads hid themselves in a coal car and after passing Bayport. attempted to cross to a forward car. The front platform of the train gave a sudden Jolt, throwing Dew between the two cars to the track, the train passing over him. Whitman shouted to Conductor Phillips and the train was slowed up and then backed to the scene of the accident. The boy's body was found In a terribly mangled condition.

The skull was crushed, while the legs and arms were broken in several places. Coroner W. S. Bennett of Patchogue was notified and he took charge of the body and forwarded It to the home of the unfortunate lad's parents, at Patchogue.

Dunton. Jamaica, L. August 7 The town board at its meeting this morning received a petition asking for the formation of a lighting district of all that part of the town of Jamaica west ot Richmond Hill and north of a line 400 feet south of Liberty avenue, excepting tho Brooklyn Hills lighting district and tho Brooklyn city park property. It is proposed to establish 200 arc lights in this district, which will include Woodhaven and Union Course and territory as far as the Brooklyn city line. The petition is signed by the managers of the Grosjean Manufacturing company and fifty one other property owners.

The board appointed a hearing the matter to take place at Jenneys hall. Woodhaven, Thursday, August 27, at which all the citizens of the place are invited to attend and express their views. Ex Assemblyman Eugene Vacheron said in regard to the matter: "You will see a big turnout at that meeting. I think at least three are opposed to it for one in favor. It will cost over $20,000 a year In the district and we are already overburdened with taxes.

Why, in my little house at Woodhaven my taxes are over $S0 a year." John B. Morrell said: "The Lalance rosjean people and the other largest taxpayers of that section of the town are in favor of It." It is thought that the fact that the factory proprietors, who employ half the voters, are in favor of the scheme will result in its going through successfully. Supervisor Dunton informed the board that after consultation with his counsel he declined to comply with the terms of the resolution passed June 2S. directing him to pay to the receiver of taxes the amount of taxes due on lots in arrears in all cases where the amount of tax due is less than the expenses attending a sale by the county. It is thought this will save the town many hundreds of dollars.

Upon the refusal of the supervisor to take steps in the matter a resolution was passed by the board engaging Eugene F. Vacheron to institute mandamus proceedings to compel the supervisor to do" as ho was directed by the resolution of the board. COUNTRY CLUB AFFAIRS. Westhampton, L.

The Arrisons Give Flatbush Food for Summer Gossip. FATHER LOFTUS AND A CRANK. River Thieves Make a Haul of Old Silver Gravesend Yaoht Club Prizes. The Dalton Boys Take French Leave. St.

Finbar's Fair at Bath Beach Girls in a Potato Race Work for Parkville Firemen. Until a very short time ago Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Arrison were among the most prominent members of tho Fenlmore street Methodist Episcopal church in Flatbush, of which the Rev.

C. S. Williams is the pastor. Not only were they regular attendants and gave liberally toward the support of the church, but Mrs. Arrison was connected with all the various societies In the church and took an active interest in the welfare of every one of them.

The Arrisons also are socially well known in Flatbush outside of their own church circles. Therefore it created something of a sensation when they suddenly severed their connection with the church and were seen no more at social gatherings. The Rev. Mr. Williams was naturally anxious to know why Mr.

and. Mrs. Arrison, whom he highly esteemed, had deserted his flock In a manner so abrupt and without a word of explanation. So he called at their home, corner of Fenlmore street and Bedford avenue, but Mrs. Arrison told the minister that it was Impossible for her to make an explanation.

Mr. holds the position of buyer In one of the big department stores In this city. Yesterday afternoon an Eagle reporter called at tho Arrison home. The servant who opened the door, upon being asked to take the visitor's card to her mistress, snapped, "she won't see anybody," and closed the door with a bang. The domestic probably regretted her little show of temper and directly after slamming the door in the reporter's face, called upstairs: "You won't see a reporter, Mrs.

Arrison, will you?" "Yes, I will see him," came the answer. "I beg your pardon," said the servant girl, as she reopened the door and showed the Eagle representative into the parlor. A minute later Mrs. Arrison entered the room. She is about 32 years of age, slight of form, with light hair and a refined.

Intellectual face. "I think I know your errand," she said. "I don't mind telling you that a dear friend of mine to whom you appealed for certain information has advised me to make a statement to you In order to set myself right in the eyes of certain people who. he said, had an erroneous impressison about the matter you have come to see me about. I wish to be courteous to you and would like to assist you in getting the facts you are in search of, but you must admit that a statement coming from me at this time would be very much out of place, not to 'say Indelicate.

"By tho way," continued Mrs. Arrison, after she had parried half a dozen questions with "I will say nothing further, why don't you interview Mr. Arrison. He may be willing to talk. Or, still better, call on my lawyer, Mr.

Edwin Low, whose office is at 26 Court street, in the Garfield building. If he thinks it wise to make a statement to you he will gladly do and if not, well, then you won't get any facts beside those already in your possession." The reporter went to the store where Mr. Arrison is employed and told that the latter had gone on his vacation and that he was not expected back until a week from next Saturday. When Lawyer Low was approached about the case he threw up his hands and exclaimed, "Well, now, I wonder how that got out." Then he said: "Mrs. Arrison is utterly anden tlrely blameless.

That is as sure as there ls a heaven above." Mr. Low caught himself and looked as If he thought he had already said too much. "No," he replied, in answer to a question, "I can't talk about this case. It wouldn't be fair it would be unprofessional; as a matter of fact I have nothing to say." Then Mr. Low wondered again how anything about the case had ever leaked out.

He was told that when two prominent church people, like the Arrisons, suddenly sever social and religious ties in a place like Flatbush, It was bound to attract attention and cause talk. Mr. Low said In reply to the suggestion It might be a good thing to publish all the facts: "No; before I could do anything like that I would have to consult with Colonel Lamb, who 'is Mr. Arrlson's lawver. He is out of town and I can't see him.

Therefore I can't say anything about it." SAFE BURGLARS AT BATH BEACH River thieves visited Bath Beach yesterday morning and as a result a quantity of solid silverware was taken from the safe of Francis D. Fry. in his coal office on the pier at the foot of Bay Seventeenth street. There Is no doubt the thieves landed on the pier from the water as a large, high gate, which is closed at night, makes it almost impossible to reach the pier from the street unless a ladder is used. An entrance into the office was effected by forcing up a window and they easily bored a hole in the old fashioned safe and opened the door.

The list of the stolen articles Includes 11 solid silver forks marked one half a dozen small teaspoons, 3 napkin rings marked respectively Duncan, M. D. and H. D. sugar sifter with perforated gold bowl marked M.

D. berry spoon marked M. D. F. plckel fork with gold prongs, marked one half a dozen after dinner coffee spoons with gold bowls and oxidyzed handles; one sugar spoon marked M.

D. F. butter knife marked M. D. two dessert spoons marked respectively Duncan and Mabel, and a pair of sugar tongs.

WHERE ARE THE DALTON BOYS? Tho Bath Beach police have been asked to look for John and Matthow Dalton, aged 14 and 12 years respectively. They are the sons of Matthow J. Dalton, who is captain of a coal barge lying alongside of Henjos' pier at the foot of Bay Nineteenth street, and they have been missing just one week. The Daltons live in Newark. The father has been running his boat to Bath Beach for seven years and his two boys accompanied him on his la3t trip.

Matthew, though only 12, Is a roamer. A year ago he disappeared with a circus and last summer spent a few days at Coney Island on his own hook. The father thinks he came on here for that purpose this time and he induced his elder brother, John, to accompany him. WORK FOR FIREMEN. The firemen of Engine No.

50 and Truck No. 20, on Lawrence avenue, Parkville, have completed tho work of enlarging their collar, at which they have been at work for the past few weeks. The furnace, which heretofore has been on the apparatus floor, has been set up in the cellar, and hot wateir connections have been made to provide for the contingency of an engine. The water pressure from the Flatbush works Is very strong and as yet they have had no steamer, but the vicinity ot Vando. veer park and along Coney Island avenue ls building up so rapidly that before long one may be needed.

GIRLS IN A POTATO RACE. The employes or Pain's fireworks, many of whom livo in Flatbush, went on their annual picnic yesterday. It was held at Wood lawn and lasted until 2 o'clock this morning. The picnickers had a splendid time, but by common consent the potato raco for girls. In which seventy young women took part, was the best thing on tho programme.

Notwithstanding the fierce heat the men made a good showing at the athletic games, which were kept going ail the afternoon and part of tho evening. PRIZES TO BE AWARDED.

Father Martin J. Loftus, pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Angc ls, Fourth avonuo and Seventy fourth street, Bay Ridge, probably saved his own life at the hands of a madman yesterday by his coolness and promptness of action. For many months the priest has been receiving periodical visits and many threatening letters from a certain George Busbee, who says he lives at "6 Flushing aventfe. Father Loftus was sitting at his upper front window yesterday when hs recognized a man that approached the front steps as his ann'oyer. He hastily told his housekeeper to usher him in and entertain him in some way until be returned, which would be in a very few minutes.

The priest then went out of the back way and returned with Policeman Charles J. Brown. The officer and priest the house together. Busbec was sitting quietly in the drawing room until he saw the priest. His eyes flashed and he made a pounce for him.

The officer, however, was between them and the bluecoat tore the crazy man's shirt front in his effort to keep him away from the priest. Busbee had to succumb and he was taken at once to the court house on Eighty sixth street. It happened that Judge Rhodes was detained and the prisoner was at once arraigned on the charge of attempted, assault and of sending threatening letters. He was held under $300 bail for examination to morrow morning. Father Loftus told Judge Rhodes that he did not know who Busbee was.

Some time ago Busbee visited Father Loftus' church and tried to raise a disturbance. He was ejected then and remained away for a long time. He, however, kept sending the priest letters threatening his life. The last letter, which warned the priest that he must forfeit his life, was postmarked July IS and read as follows: Veritatum, Vinelnus. A.

M. D. G. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Glory he to God on high, peace on earth to men of good will, for I am his servant.

Dear Rev. Father God's mercy is great: God's mercy is great; God's mercy is greater than all His works. But there is a limit to His patience and It has reached the limit In your rase. There is no time to lose. I went to you three times in succession for you to hear my confession and you would not.

After the third time 1 dared to approach the holy communion with the ten lhlo sin of impurity staining my soul. The fault was yours, not mine. I thought I was an angel, and of course thought myself worthy. But you know now 1 was not. Tho guilt of the terrible sacrilege is on your and you will have to forfeit your life in atonement for my sin.

Vou called me a scoundrel and so 1 was, but the fault was yours. I have heretofore appealed to your intellect to convince you, but it was useless. You persisted in acting as when I told you that the only time you are Judge is in the confessional, not before. Pray to St. Marv Magdalen, whose feast occurs on the 221.

to Intercede for you, Hint you may have, in some small degree at least, some of the sorrow which she showed for your sin. Pray also to St. Joseph, the patron of a happy death. I would earnestly advise you to svtfle your worldly affairs and to communicate with the Rt. Rev.

bishop. The sins of the parents fall on the children. You should never have become a pru st, and you would not had you followed the promptings of your own heart. There Wis no name signed. After sending this letter he called a day or two later to see if the pastor had received It.

Father Loftus did not see him at that time. When searched at the station house yesterday he did not have a single weapon of any kind or anything else that could be used to assault the priest, other than his hands. Ho ls a well built man of medium height, 45 years of age, a butcher by trade, and he said he was born in Ireland. He had very littlo or nothing to say after his arrest. He has a brother living in Flatbush.
