The motion will be heard to morrow morning at 10 o'clock, at the court house in Brooklyn, by Justice Dickey. A resolution was passed to flag the sidewalk On tho north side of Fulton street, between AIsop and Van Wyck ave noie, and on the easterly side of Alsop street, between Fulton street and Hillside avenue. The report of the board of sewer commissioners was received and read.

WORK OF THE WIND AND TIDE.

Far Rookaway Bathing Houses Carried Away in Last Night's Storm and Much. Damage Done Call for Queens County's Democratic Primaries and Conventions The Kissam Clowes Wedding at Hempstead Patohogue Votes $20,000 for Good Roads. (Special to tho Eagle.) Far Rockaway, N. September 10 While the damage done by last night's high tide and storm was pretty closely estimated the full amount the wreck was not positively known until this morning, when the work of rescuing the floating bathing houses was fh progress. Hog island Is now a thing of the past, and with the first heavy sea and southeast storm the Hoted Edgemere will probably go also.

The Far Rockaway Ferry and Improvement company was early at work this morning to save what had not been washed out to, sea or been totally destroyed by the pounding of last night's heavy seas. What was formerly the inlet is one mass of floating debris, composed of bath houses, chairs, tables and other fixings and furniture of the pavilions and restaurants on the outer beach. Where was formerly solid and continuous beach there could be seen this morning only small patches of sand covered with a few feet of water when the tide receded at daylight. The incoming tide was in evidence when the shaking buildings which had with stood last night's tide were lifted 'from their weakened foundations and but for the valiant work of the bathing company's employes thoy would have been carried to sett. AH the 6loops, catboats and rowooats used by the company.

er pleasure purposes during the numrner were moored and 'the workers succeeded In saving several hundred dollars worth of property. The beach east of the bathing pavilions which was looked upon as a fixture Is seen this morning to be cut Ctwough and washed away for a mile or more almost to Lawrence beach, while to the westward the beach almost to Edgemere Is gone. The high bluff upon which tho Wave Crest bathing pavilion was built has been entirely cut away and only a fragment of the large pavilion now stand's. This, however, will probably go with to night'3 tide. The shore this morning is lined with spectators, many of whom have lost their bathing BUits, which were kept In their bail houses on the beach.

Mr. Richard Gipson of the Par Rockaway Ferry company conservatively estimates their loss ait $9,000, James Caffrey Ogures his total losses at $5,000, John Hughes, photographer, $300; Wave Crest pavilion, on the Inlet side, Ryder Bros, claim $1,500 less, Chlarles boan, $200, and J. J. H'ogers, United States hotel pavilion, about $800. Between Arverne and Hammlll's station a large amount of timber and ether driftwood was washed against the track of the Long Island railroad and had to be removed by the railroad men during the night.

During the high tide this morning 'the railroad track Was completely submerged. QUEENS COUNTY DEMOCRATS. The Call for the Primaries and Conventions Issued by Chairman Sutphin To day.

Twenty Baptist churches cf the city were represented at a counoll held at the Fourth avenue Baptist church. Fourth avenue, near Thirty second street, last night. The purpose of the council was to consider the propriety of recognizing the society as a self supporting church. This was not accomplished, however, much to the disappointment of the pastor, tho Rev. Job Whltehurst.

Though a splendid church has been built and there is every prospect of it being self sustaining In the near future, the committee appointed to look into its financial affairs would not. for the present at least, take the responsibility of admitting the new organization into the Long Island Baptist association. The letters of the members of the church and the articles of faith were examined by separate committees and favorably reported on. Beside the representatives of the different churches there was an attendance of the mem. bers of the church and ethers interested that almost Oiled the edifice.

The Rev. Dr. R. B. Hull, pastor of Grenwood Church and president of the Church Extension society, was chosen as moderator, and the Rev.

G. N. Thomssen of the First German church, secretary. The churches represented were: First Swedish, the Rev. Edward Lind; Emmanuel, the Rev.

Fallon Flatbush, F. H. Traphagan. George B. Forrester moved for the appointment of two committees to examine the letters of tho members of the church and alec the articles of faith.

The members of the first committee were the Rev. J. G. Dittmar and Cornelius Woelfkin, Delegates Forrester and Dutcher, and of the second the Revs. Drs.

Harrison, Dixon, Dennett and Ray. Both committees retired, returning in less than ten minutes, with favorable reports, whicb were accepted. Then oame the Important question of considering the financial condition of the church and for this purpose the Rev. Frank P. Stoddard and Messrs.

Allin, Foley, Teale and Judd were appointed a committee to confer with the Rev. Job Whltehurst, pastor, and the trustees and deacons of the church. For fully an hour the committee sat behind closed doors. The pastor and officers were dismissed after they had tried 'their best to convince the committee that the debt on the church was steadily growing, the debt was snv2.ll and the church would and sup port Itself. Ten minutes later the committee appeared and Mr.

Allin read the following report: "In view of the fact that certain financial matters dependent upon other persons and parties not connected with the church are in doubt and this church not being able of itself to meet its prospective financial responsibilities, your committee recommends that action by this council he deferred until January 1, 1S97, or a later date to be fixed by the Church." When tho vote to accept the report was taken but few hands went up In the affirmative, a fact noticed by Pastor Whitchurst. He could not hide his disappointment. He stood near the moderator's desk and tried to submit to the inevitable, but there was defiance in his tone as he addressed the gathering as follows: "I have nothing to say, only this: It makej no difference whether we are recognized by any body or not. I will go on preaching the gospel as long as I have life in my bedy, and we will continue as before. I have been a missionary and pastor over twenty three years and I have never yet asked anybody for money.

I have placed my faith in God and I am going to trust in Him for the rest. 1 shall continue to strive for the good of this church and our comparatively small debt will be paid off very soon. It makes no difference If we are not recognized by any body In the world. All we have to pay off for the building of our church is $450 and we must have $20 this week. I would ask that a collection be taken up." This was readily agreed to and over $24 was collected.

The council then adjourned. Pastor Whltehurst said to an Eagle reporter after the meeting: "We certainly should be recognized for what we have already done. Here we have a building that will cost probably $6,200 when fully completed. We have spent $5,500 on it already and owe only $450 for the work done. It is true wo have a mortgage of $1,500 on our property, but that Is the extent of our indebtedness.

Our lots cost us $3,750. We started wit and still have only twenty eight members, but Just as soon as wo are recognized by the Long Island association our congregation, I feel convinced, will increase to considerably over one hundred. There are many, I hope, who will become members as It is and help us to pay off our debts even before tho first of the year." Pastor Whltehurst is a hard worker, and there is net the slightest doubt that he will accomplish "his purpose in due time. For three years fc wa3 in charge of the West End mission, on Thirty third street, between Third and Fourth avenues, which formed the nucleus of the new church. It was only through his perseverance that it remained In existence as long as It did, for the location was a bad one, and the small boys of the neighborhood annoyed the little house to such an extern: that the worshipers, of many at them, Torsook it.

Early this spring Paster Whltehurst made a stroke that would either do away withbischarge altogether and forsake the field or give hlra an opportunity to start a church of his own. He obtained his church by getting the. late Joseph of Bay Ridge Interested. Mr. Wilde was convinced" that a church on Fourth avenue, near that locality, was needed, and gave $2,500 to purchase the lots.

He afterward gave an additional $3,000 for the edifice. Ths pastor at once formed the church with twentj' elght members and started t'ho building. Early in May the corner stone was laid, and three weeks ago the interior was completed sufficiently to allow services to be held. The pastor succeeded In getting other contributions and alsj the assistance of the Church Extension society. The building Is 62x45 feet in siZ9 and has an Imposing Tront on Fottrt'h avenue, faced with compressed brick, while the sides end rear are built of North river brick.

The basement is divided into Sunday school rooms and there are accommodations fcr 350 scholars. The main auditorium will comfortably seat 350 to 400. Pastor Whltehurst was born in England fifty two years ago, but hos been in Brooklyn nearly a quarter of a century. A few years ago he organized and built tbe East End church, on Van Slclen avenue, and was its pastor for two years. EXPRESS DRIVERS ROBBED.
