They Were Dead When Discovered by the Landlord This Morning Will People Etci Learu to Ventilate Their Rooms Jacob Sauer, proprietor of a uotel at 21 and 23 Grand street, discovered at 10:30 o'clock this forenoon two of his boarders, James Cassidy and Johu Hyland, dead in bed in their room.

The men bad been nxphyxiated by escaping gas from stove, probably due to their own carelessness caused by an over indulgence iu strong drink. The men had been employed in Havemeyer Elder's sugar refinery and had boarded in the hotel for some time. They wero about 35 yoars old eaoli, unmarried, aud roomed toaether, occupying tho same bed. Mr. Sauer regarded them as among his most desirable guosts, and said that though they imbibed occasionally they were not in the habit of getting drunk.

Lait evening they drank freely, and when they went to their room they felt the effect of their pota tions. The room was warmed by a drum connected by pipe from a stove dowustairs. As the pipe was disconnected with the drum when Mr. Sauer entered the room aud the apartment was filled with the escaping gas it is supposed that tho men, before retiring, stag gered against the pipe, aud, in their maudlin condition, not minding the gas, went to bed. Coroner Lindsay was notified, and with his permission the bodies were removed to an undertaking establishment ou Bedford avenne, near North Sixth street.

The arrest was the result of commendable vigilance on tho part of the police, and the prisoners wore all held for trial this morning by Justice Hag etty. who was aotins for Judgo Tlgho in tho Butler street police oourt. The Ocean steamship company of New York brings a large amount of cotton from 8avaunah. The company Bench this cotton to Robinson's stores, which extdud from Warren street to Congress. The lighter James belongs to the company, and tueee days ago oamo to Brooklyn with a load of cotton whioh was to bo delivered at the stores.

The delivery slip has been full of lighters tor some days and the James could not get iu aud has been moored to the Warren street dock to await her ohanoe to discharge. Lying alongside of hor was the lighter Force, which is owned by Thomas Fib bard of 02 Water street, New York, and whioh had just discharged a cargo of cement and was to return to New York to day. Bales of ootton aro numbered and the weight of each ia known, but as it is sometimes impossible to steal a whole bale without dotootion tho method of "weeding" a number of the bales and stuffing the contents in bass is often resorted to. This was done in the present oase. Captain Denhamhas had complaints from Robinson's stores of many shortages in Dales that had evidently been "weeded." He gave Bpecial instructions to his detectives, Daly and Stoddart, and to the crew of the polioa launch Judge Moore, to bo on a close watch.

Last night their efforts were rewarded. Suspicious movements wero seen on tha lighters James aud Force. Pilot Casey of tho police boat put two of his men, Officers Hodden and Griffin, ashore on tha slip, whero they were joined by Detective Stoddart, and the three men watohed patiently in the darkuoss and cold. Finally the two lighter captains and the longshoreman wero seen hastily transferring bags from the James to the Force. In jast four minutes the three men had fifteen of these bagB stowed away in the hold of the lighter.

Then the officers clambered on the lighter and arrested the alleged thieves. Tho bags oontaioed in the aggregate 2,500 pounds of cotton, worth $160. Patz (rives his residence aa 118 Charlton street, New York; Simpson as 500 President street, Brooklyn, and Brnhn as 02 Marion street, Now Yorit DR. VAN DYKE To Be Called to the Pulpit of His Father. The Pastor of the Bricfc Church ia New York Wanted by the Second Presbyterian Church on the Heights The Career of a Yoiiuff Man Who Has Already Made His Mark in the Ministry.

It is highly probable that tho Secoud Presbyterian church, whose long time pastor, Dr. Henry J. Van Dyke, died last spring, will seek as bis successor his son. Dr. Henry Yan Dyke, who la now the popular paBtor of the Brick PreBbytorian church, in New York.

The minds of tho members of the ohurch have been turning more and more to young Dr. Van Dyke as the man who can best fill his father's place, not only in the pulpit of the hiBtorio church bo long identified with his name, but lso in the hearts of the people who have so many precions memories connected with the work of Dr. Van Dyke among them. With many of those memories the son is identified as well as the father, as he Bpent his childhood and youth in thiR city and regarded it as his homo after grown to man's estate and had gone out into the great world. Whenever he has preached iu tho Second church, either before or since bis father's death, young Dr.

Van Dyke has had large audiences, and his discourses have been regarded ith much favor. It is thought that no man can do as much to hold tho church together and assure its future as he. A meeting of the church will soon be called to ex tend a formal call to the pastor of tho Brick church and ask him to come back to Brook lyn and follow in his father's footsteps. Nothing definite is assured in regard to the way he will roceivo the call, but it is hoped that he will favorably entertain it, from the kindly feolings he has ever cherished toward the church in which be was baptized and made his first profession of faith iu tho religion of Christ. When his eldest son was born to Henry Jackson Van Dvko iu Germuitowu, iu 1852, he named the boy for himsolf, and as he erew up he waB known aB Henry J.

Van Dyke, Jr. But when he became a man he dropped his middle name and the suffix, and changed the first letter of the Van from a capital to a lower caBe and ho has siuco written his name Henry van Dyke. Ho was only six months old when his father came to this city to become pastor of tho churoh at the corner of Clinton and ltf msen known as the FirsKOld School)Presbyterian church. He was prepared for college at private sohools and the Polytechnic and when 17 years of age entered Princeton and was graduated with the class of 1873. lie then spent a year at home and, mak ing up his mind to follow in his father's profes sion, he returned to Princeton and studied three years in the theological seminary, from which he was graduated in 1877.

He acted as a cor responding editor for the Presbyterian while pursuing his studieB and was licensed to preaoh in 1870. After spending a year in study broad at the University of Berlin he accepted a call in 1878 to tlve United congregational ohurch of Newport, R. and was Installed pastor at a council in which bis father took part. After four years of successful work he acceptod a call to his present pulpit in the historic brick Pres byterian church in Fifth avenue, New York There he has taken rank as one of the leading young divineB of the metropolis, and his reputation as a pulpit orator, writer and lecturer has steadily grown. He succeeded Dr.

Ijlewellyn Bevan, now of Melbourne, Austra lia, who had come to New York from London to succeed Dr. J. 0. Murray, now dean of Princeton university. Dr.

Murray had been the assistant to and successor of Dr. Gardiner Spring, who served the Briok church for the extonded period of sixty four years and saw its removal from its downtown site, where the buildiug of the New York Times now stands, to the present site at Fifth avenue and Thirty seventh street. The first edifice was erected in 1708, and it waB occupied by the British troops as a prison and hospital in the time of the revolutionary war, and was re oponed for church services in 1784. Young Dr. Van Dyke has proved himself i capable Btiocoseor to biB able and brilliant predecessors, aud he has wou an enviable place in the hearts of his congregation.

He receives a salary of $8,000 a year. Beside his pulpit and parish work he finds time for considerable literary activity, and he has made a special study of the poetry of Tennyson, writing a book upon it and lecturing on the same subjeot A few mouths ago he delivered a lecture upon this topic before tlis Long Island historical society. He is also the author of "The Reality of Religion," "(Jos pel History in Italian Painting" aud magazine articles in Earner's Monttilv, tho Xorlh Amer ican MevieV) and tho Ho was moderator of tho general assombly in 1870, when the old and the new schools wero re united, and he was active in the movement for the revision of the Westminster confession. Dr. Va Dyke's church, as it is still called, has a property valued at $200,000, the church seat ing 800 persons and the lecture room 500.

The membership is 514, and tho Sunday school num bers 203. There is uo debt and tlie total oentri butions last year amounted to $18,038. The salary paid Dr. Van Dyko was $7,000 a year aud the same will be offered to his sou, and it will be equivalent to what he receives iu New York.when the difference in the cost of living iu tho two oities is taken into account. Young Dr.

Van Dyko greatly resembles his father in personal appearance. He is under medium height and wears a full black beard He preaches without notes aud is earnest aud effective in the pulpit. Tho preacher this month iu the Second church Is Dr. J. H.

Worcester, who was chosen to succeed Dr. Van Dyko in the chair of church history in Union theological seminary, aud he will preach two more Sundays. Then some action in regard to a pastor will be taken and so far as is known the unanimous choice of both church and congregation will be th worthy son of a worthy sire." Young Dr. Van Dyke a only brother is. I'roressor jfaul Van Dyke of Princeton.

Ho does not adopt the old Dutch form of the family name whioh his brother has adopted. SHE THOUGHT HE WAS OCT WEST, lint All the Time Uo Wna ia Brooklyn Willi Another Woman. A short inqnost was had this morning in the oity oourt before Judge Osborne in the suit for absolute divorce brought by Annie Reed against her husband, Charles R. Reed. Henry B.

Twombley appeared for the plaintiff. On tho stand Mrs. Reed said she was married to her husband on February li, 1807, at the Church of the Assumption. Later another ceremony was porformed by the Rev. Mr.

Rushmoro, at the corner of York and Gold streets. The first was a Catholic and the second a Methodist oere mony. The defendant lived with her np to 1879 when he left her and went West. Three yean ago she learned for the first time that he was living in Brooklyn as the husband of a woman named Fanny Needs. Deputy Sheriff William A.

January 23. District Attornoy James V. Ridgway of Kinge county arrived in Washington yesterday just in time to hear John R. Fellows of New York deliver his brilliant oration in behalf of the metropolis. After the committee adjourned Mr.

Ridgway called upon Senator Hill and had a long interview with him. The meeting between the two waB extremely cordial. When Brooklyn's district attorney entered Mr. Hill'B rooms the ex governor said: "I believe I have seou you before, sir, and it gives me great ploftBure te welcome yon to Washington." Ridgway smiled ad informed 8onator Hill that he had intended to be on hand several days ago, but that bis wife, who accompanied him, was somewhat indisposed and could not leave Brooklyn before. That morning District Attorney Ridgway was surrounded by quite a crowd of newspaper men in the lobby of tho Arliugton hotel, and was interviewed as to his opinion upon the selection of Chioago.

Ridgway said that he believed New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and the solid South were entirely satisfied, and that the only kickers were the delegates from Western Republican states.

Property Owners Along Tan Siclen Avenue and Another Thoronphfare in the New Ward Cry Out Against an Alleged Outrage EngineoiMjgserole Makes an Explanation A Mass Meeting to be Held. Proporty owners, east of Van Siclon avenue and south of Sutter, will assemble in mass meeting next Monday night iu a vacant store at the corner of Blake and Van Siclen avenues, to protest against the grade of certain streets established directly west of their property by a private corporation, The property of this corporation is bounded on the east by Van Siolen avenuo, on the west by Wyckoff lano, on the north by EaBtern parkway and on the south by the New Lots road. The plot was formerly the Wyckoff farm and covers a little over one hundred acres.

It was purchased about six moutbB ago by a syndioale of cap italists, represented by Edward F. Liuton The work of grading, cutting the property up oity lots and laying out Btreets was begun at once, aud the manner iu which thtH labor has been performed baB called forth the indignation of the men who, aB a resort to protect their own property, have decided to hold a mass meeting. The northerly portion of the Wyckoff farm was for many winters, on account of its low position, a Bkating pond. That extended from Eastern parkway on the north to Sutter avenue on tho south and from there the ground rose gradually as far a8 Blake avenue, and then declined to the end of the property. Belmont and Sutter avenues were cut through, graded and paved and made to oonform with those streets on the east Bide of Van Siclen aveuue.

But at Blake avenue, one block south of Sutter avenue, there is a difference in the grade of fully five feot between tha east and west sides of Van Siclen avenue. The prop erty east of Van Siclen avenue, with the same northerly and southerly boundaries as the Wyck off farm, was formerly the Van Siolen farm. It was one level pieoe of low land and those wh built houses thero during the past few rears were compelled to fill in in order to conform to the grade established by the city. An Eaqle reporter paid a TiBit this morning to Blake and Van Siclen avenues to see some of the pr erty owners in that section who will take pa, iu Monday's mass mooting. A lateral sewer is being built through Van Siclen avenue by the private corporation, and some of the manholes, whioh have been placed in posi tion, are fully three feot higher than the stoops of some of tho houses east ot Van Siclen avenue.Blake avenue, which has been graded by the corporation's engineer, is, apparent l.

at least five feet higher than tho established grade east of Vau Stolen avenue. Henry G. Young, a prominent citizen whose house BtandB on Blako avenue, fifty feet east of Van Siclen avenue, said: When I started to build this honBe I employed a surveyor, who gave me the grade, which was 5 feet 4 inches below the curb line. I placod the concrete footing flat on the ground, then built the cellar wall 7 feet 6 inches above grade and filled in the ground all around the house until I reached the curb line, or 5 feet 6 inches above the previous level. JNow, you can see for yourself that the grade of Blake avenue west of me is nearly 5 feet higher than the curb line my surveyor gave me.

I wrote to my sur veyor and ho answered that tho grade he gave me was correct. I anticipate either being buried under 0 feet of earth or washed away. At the southeast corner of Vau Siclon and Blako avenues, adjoining Mr. Young'B property. is a house owned bv Air.

1'ickett. ills grade is the same aB Mr. Young's, but his stoop, which is raised two feet from the ground, is four feet lower than the grade of Blake avenne on the op posite side of Van Siclen avenne. In referring to Mr. Pickett's grade, Mr.

Young saidt "Now there is a man who got his grade from Civil Eugineer Mcserole, who also fixed the grade for the corporation that bought the Wyokoff farm. Pickett's grade was fixed before the Wyckoff farm was out up. Now, both grades cannot be right." The reporter then called ou Engineer Met erole in his cozy office, at the corner of Atlantic and Van Siclen avenues. "Yes, I gave Mr. Pickett tho grade when lie built his house," said Mr.

Meserole, "but whether he conformed to it I can't say." "Did you fix the grade of the streets on the Wyckoff farm," asked tho reporter. "I did and they are correct," was the reply. "I gave the grade according to the grade map laid out flvo years ago by City Engineer James F. Carey. The grade on the Wyckoff farm is correct, according to that map." 'But them appears to be a difference of aboui five or six feet in the grade of Blake avenue, east aud west of Van Siclen "It may appear so and perhaps it is," said Mr.

Meserole, "but the grade of the Wyckoff farm has not been ohanged an inch from the original grade laid out on Mr. Carey's man. You can see here producing the map that tho grade of Van Siclen aveuue at Sutter avenue iB 23.50 and at Blako avenue 26.50, a raise of ouly three feot." THE HARRIS QUININE CAPSULES. Testimony of tlie Drue Clerk Who Gobi poMiided Tbcin. The Harris, trial began again at 11:15 o'clock this morning in part general sessions, New York, W.

J. Power, the prescription clerk in Mr Mclntyro's pharmacy, being recalled. Power was on the witness utand last evening when th court adjourned. He it was from whom Harris had procured the quiuiue pills January 20, 1801 and his previous testimony had gone to show that this prescription was put up correctly. Mr Jerome produced in court this morning, capsules containing tho same materials as the capsules which Power had put up for Harris and which he himself had put up at Mclntyre's pharmacy.

He wished to use these as a comparison to the others. Witness shoived tnat wnne tney were materially the same, they were different iu ap pearance. On cross examination this morning witness re membored that when on January 20, 1801, Har riB had twenty five graius of qainine aud ono grain of morphine put np in Bix capsules he was very nervous. Witness know that if ho had made any miBtako iu preparing the capsules tho re. sponsibility would be his.

HOW NELLIE HOONEY GOT SHOES. Bat She Wa Caught and Will Have to Suffer. On January 10 Nellie Mooney, a rather good looking girl of 18, and who livos in Douglass street, went to the shoe store of Riohard P. Willis, 231 Smith Btreet, and presented tho following request written on a sheet of note paper: Mrs Manmx 20 Douglass Btreet Bend up to you please Give tbls girl a pare of raens.shose No 7 8 and ladies those 0 half and if they don't suit i will send them back by her you need be a frade to trust her as she is a coasin ol the old mau and that will be all right as he himself will come.

Freeman Harriott, the young divinity student arrested last week for the theft of a number of books from the library of Pratt's Institute, faced Justice Connelly to day for examination. Harriott's brief imprisonment has told heavily on his delicate physique.

Ho was obliged to grasp the Judicial railing for Biippnrt durinn his arraignment. His counsel mado an eloquent and successful appeal for judicial clomenoy for the accused. Justice Connelly suspended sentence in the case, incidentally remarking to the prisoner! "Harriott, yours is a very peculiar oase. It's a strange conrso of inconsistency to find a theo logioal student pursuing tho studies for hla holy calling by pilferiug theological works from tho library of a public institution. I have received letters vouching for your previous good character from clergymen, college professors and rep utablo business men.

If I thought you were an ordinary thief I would lmposo tho heaviest sentence undor this complaint. As it ul will suspend sentence. Lot this experience be a warning to you." ANOTHER PLAN For a Cable or Storage Battery Road on Union Street. Aa Organized Company That Already Holds the 'ecesnry Consents Prom Properly Owners Backed by Messrs. Leland, Qreenougb, Woodford, Arnoux and Donnellon, Who Offer to Pay for All Depreciation.

mentioned in Tuesdays as being interested in a surface roaa on union street will, from all appearances, have a pretty hard row to hoe before they succeed, II. indeed. iinaA will be possible against a competition ih.i. nonius much more strongly organized. Asa mailer of fact, a ooiupanr has been already regu larly incorporated and has, very quietly, been at work getting consents.

Jhey now nave me con sents from a majority of tho property owners on tho street. The men most interested in the scheme, about which information was given on Tuesday are, ex Register James liane ana ex County Clerk John Delinar. No company has been incorporated in their interests, and it is claimed, little or no work has been done tn obtaining consents. They will be opposed and will have to meet the influences, wuioh can be arrayed igainst them by Mr. Leland, a wealthy banker irho was formerly a partner of Major Roody's.

Mr. Leland is the president ot the corpora tion. Johu Greenotigh of the Hew xurk banking firm of Poor Ureenough and the American representative of tue flew York and London investment company is also largely interested. This, however, does not mean that English capital is backing the plan any moro than the fact that Mr. Loland is president indicates that tr.e mayor is interested.

General Stewart L. Woodford and ex Judge Arnoux are largely interested and bo is C. E. Don uellon of the D. M.

Chauncey real estate company. Next to m. n. ijitcnueia jit. jjouuoi lon is the largest property owner in tue iwenty second ward, holding $600,000 worth of proper.

ty on the Park slope. Tho company behind which these meu stand is capitalized for $300, 000. on which the first assessments have been paid and tho balance is roady to be called iu on a week's notice. C. E.

Dounellon was seen by an Eacii.e reporter this morning at tho office of the D. M. Chauncey company. Asked whether he was interested iu a Union street railroad company whioh would compete with tho De)mar Kane plan, he saidi 'I don't think that there will be much competi tion. All that 1 will say on the matter it tuac we will build the read.

Wo have organized and have been incorporated for a year. We have already obtaiued consents from the owners of a majority value of the property on the line of the road. In lesB than a year we will bogin to build. Iu faot all that we are waiting for is the outcome of cer tain experiments that are being made with the storage battery system of electric propulsion. If these are successful wo will use that method.

If not wo will build a cable road. Cuder no cir cumstances will we run the road by the use of horses. Whatever system we adopt will be the best obtainable for money. We are wllliner, and havo made tho suggestion, that the property owners on Union Btreet appoint a committee to examine whatever system we adopt, and wo will promise to use no system without their ap proval. Wo have also made another offer, more generous I think, than any which a railroad company ever made.

On condition of receiving consents we will execute a contraot with each consoiiting property owner to compensate him for evsry dollar of loss caused by any deprecia tion of his property two years after the road commences to run. I am a large property owner iu that sectiou myself, and I would not consent to go into anything which would not act fairly to holders of real estate. 'A road along Union street," contmued Mr. Douneilon, "would be the making of the Park slope aud the Twenty second ward. It would run from the park entrance through tno neart ol that district to Hamilton ferry.

It would give the residents of that part of the oity the most convenient ponsiblo method of communicating with all parts of New York. They could reach the Jersey ferries and those on tho East river; they would be landed at the terminus of overy elevated road in Now York, and they could roaoh Twenty third street and Sixth avenue or tho heart of the shopping district, from Seventh avenue and Union street, in thirty or thirty five minuteB." WELL, WELL, NOW Uu't Port Jefferson All Scared Turn X7(i and Special to the Eagle. Pobt Jeffebsou, L. January 22 There is nothing talked of here so much aa a metal trunk that reached here yesterday after noon. It is inclosed in a rough box, about three feet square, and was addressed to the Port Jeffer son milling company, of whioh Mr.

W. T.Wheel'er is secretary. Now, as it happens, Mr. Wheeler has had quite a little trouble with a discharged employe, whom he accused of dishonesty. Two attempts have been made on his Hie, the pistol being used in both instancea.

Considiring these circutn stances, Mr. Wheeler thought it better to inves tigate before ho opened the trunk. The neigh bore, and there were 200 who gazed in awe at the mysterious package, wore dividod iu their beliefs aa to whother it contained a human body or dynamite. This peaceful hamlet it Btirred to its center. The chief of po lice, the head of the fire department and all tho other local dignitaries are bent on ferreting out the myatory, but, although Mr.

Whceltr of fered a reward of $100 to any man who would open the package, there was no rosponso. In the end he had the termerity, himself, to examine a tag that was attached to the dreaded package. It showed that the point of departure was Westport, and promptly Mr. Wheeler started for there. Port Jefferson won't steep to night until i hears from him.

THE SEWS FKOH CHILI. Failure to Heply Said to Be Dote to Cabinet Troubles. Boston, Mass, January 22 A. Maurice Low telegraphs from Washington to th Gtooe as follows! "Startling news reached the President yesterday from Santiago. A cab inot crisis is impending in Chili and the Montt government is in danger of overthrow.

A well guarded state department secret, discov ered last night by the correspondent of the Globe, is that dispatches have been received from Min ister Egau informing this government that the apparent inaction on part of the Chilian government is explainable by tho fact that the Montt cabinet is unable to agree upon terms of settle ment with the United States, and that tho chances are, if President Montt takes any pronounced steps toward peace, tho cabinet will be split and tho government will find itself face to face with a revolution. HO BIDS FOR THE CUSTOM UOtMK. Wa8hinoton, D. 0 January, 22. It now looks as though the treasury department will havo some difficulty in selling the property occupied by tho custom house in New York city.

Over a month ago proposals were invited for the purchase of the property with improvements, but so far none has been received. Yesterday was the day set for the opening of proposals. The absence of purchasers may be duo to the fact that the law pro vidin for the sale of the property prohibits the consideration of any offers for its purchase at a price lees than 4,000,000. Assistant Secretary Cronnso, who has this matter in charge, says that if the property cannot be disposed of in any other way it may be determined to put it up at auotion to the highest bidder.

Miss Sadie Kenna, Who Admired the Mas of Muscle, Fired Two Shots at Him He Took the Pistol Frm Her and Sent Her Home A Case of Sudden Affection Witk o. Lamentable Ending. A fashionably dressed woman shot twice at Jim Daly, the pugilist, in Philadelphia last night. Daly sftid that she wag Miss Sadie Eenna of Brooklyn and tnat she belongs to one of the most highly respeotable families iu the city. He first met the young woman in Pittsburg, but bad corresponded with her for some time before.

The pugilist stated that Miss Kenna witnessed tho performance of "After Dark," in which Daly appears in a bout with Corbett, at the Psople's theater, in the Bowery, New York, and that she becamo infatuated with him to such aa exteut that she wrote for bis pl.otosrapb. Ho comi'lietl with her request, and several letters were exchanged, after which the meeting occurred in Pittsburg. Later on lie met ber in Brooklyn and she followed him abrtii considers bly. Last night, shortly after 8 o'clock, Daly wont uo to the Central, theater, in Philadelphia, where "After Dark" is now being produced. As he was abont to enter the stage door Miss Eenna jumped from a oab which was standing near tha entrance and, pulling a revolver from be neath her sealskin sacquc, fired at him twica iu rapid succession.

She shot wide of the mark, however, aud Daly grappled with her and took tho smoking weapon from her hand. He then hnrriedly helped her into the cab and ordered the driver take her away. He said, when questioned, that he had sent her to a railroad station and that she would take the first train to Brooklyn. "After Dark," with Daly as a feature, was at the Grand opera house tho week of October 12. The pugilist was accompanied by his wite during that week and tlie attaches of the house say that no yonug woman waited at the door.

One of them said that he alBO remembered that the pugilist did nut get any bouquets and that his mail did not contain any letters written on fashionable note paper. No trace of the young woman could be fetind iu Brooklyn to day. THE FALLING WALL ACCIDENT. Death of 0ne ol the Injured Men I'his Morn lug.

klyn. January 22. 1802. ROBERT MEnbllANT. RofoitoJ lenfr i (uo uwiuv or vtftve oi Lwmu Harding MfgCo Seeking Investment in Park Slope Real Estate.

The First Offer Mado To day Represent atlvos of London Capitalists Bid for All C. E. Donnellon's CniinproTcd Property In the Twenty secoad Ward Sale of the J. P. Bobinson House.

Among real estate men to day the rumor was ourrerit that representatives of a large English vndioate had been in Brooklyn for several days for the purpose of buying a lot of Brooklyn prop nrty. It was said that they had examined different Beetions of the oity and had deoided that un. Improved property on the park slope was a goia mine, especially at present prices. Inquiry sub stantiated this rumor and an Eaqle reporter learned that this morning Charles E. Dounellon had been offered abont $300,000 for 73 lots in the Twenty second ward.

The real estate ope ator from whom this information nrst oame aid: lflarned this morninor that a syndioate had bid for all the unimproved real estate owned by 0. E. Donuellon in the Twenty seoond ward. This includes seventy three lots on beventn ave nue aud on Secoud Btreet, betweeu Seventh ana Eighth avenues. It does uot include any of his improved property, nor the row of unnuisuoa buildings on Seventh avenue, between irsi ana Second streets.

The price. I heard, was auu. 000. Mr. Donnellon, who has a name as one or the best judges of real estate in Brooklyn, has for several years made a speoialty of Twenty second ward property, and tho tendenoy oi real estate in that part of the city has confirmed his judgment.

At one time he owned houses and lots in nearly every wara in the oity. Becoming cwivinoed that tho park slope wag bound to follow the example or that part of New York near Central park and especially on the west side, he sold all his other property and concentrated all his available resources in buying property iu the Twenty second ward. He is to day, with the exception of Mr. Litchfield, the largest property owner in' the ward. In the" laat three years he has sold more thau one hundred and sixty lots, mostly for building purposes, and has realized handsomely on his original investment.

This transaction, if it goes through, will be one of the largest ever made in unimproved property in that Dart of tne oity. From a conversation which I had with him this morning 1 should Judge that the offer made by the Englishmen will bt accepted." The reporter saw Mr. Donnellon at the otnees of the D. M. Chaunoey real estate company, of whioh he is vioe president.

On being asked whether tho above details were acourate he said: "It it: a matter that I do uot care to say muoh about at present. Sinoo the matter has leaked out, however, I might as well admit that the rep esentatives of an Euglish syndicate who are looking for Brooklyn real estate investments thi3 moruiuK at my house made me an offer for i ev enty three lots in tho Twenty sedond ward. The property iB Bitnated on Seventh avenue and on Second street mostly. I Bhould not be surprised if their offer was accepted." Mr. Donnellon Baid that he did not feet justi fied in mentioning either who were in the syndi cate or who represented them.

London capitalists seem to know something about Brooklyn property. Two years ago when George W. Chauncey was in Europe a syndicate tried to buy through hira real estate in this same seotion of the oity valued at $1,500,000. They didn't succeed in getting the tract they wanted. A matter of interest in real estate Just now ib the recent purchaso of the former residence of the late Jeremiah P.

Robinson on Montague ter race. The price paid was $70,000 and tne purchaser is Theodore Dreier of Monroe place. Mr. Dreier means to fix np his new house and to occupy it. Several months ago the executors of the estate put this house up at auction, lhey had to bid it iu for the heirs for $05,000.

Previous to that sale they offered it for private purchaso for uot less than $100,000. ONE MAN DEAD And Two Others Perhaps Fa tally Injured. An Accident to Three. Workmen Just Be fore Noon To day on Board of a Vessel at the Foot of Commerce Street. At noon to day one man was killed outright, another had his skull fractured and will die, and a third ia so severely injured internally that his recovery is doubted.

The accident happened on board the steamship Victoria, which is lying at tho dock at the foot of Commerce street. The occurrence, which happened at noon just as the men wore about to knock off for dinner, caused the greatest exoiteiuent in the vicinity. It appears that a gang of longshoremen were on gaged in unloading the steamship. Two of them, named Toy Wise and John Smith, were on the dcok in charge of tho hoiHting apparatus which was bringing up paokages from the lower hold. The hatchways were all open.

Smith and Wise wero adjusting tho hoisting tackle previous to lowering it to the men below. They stood upon the hatch cover of the upper deok. A portion of the cover projeoted from the deok over the open hatchway. The united weight of the two men overbalanced it and iu an instant Smith and Wiso were pre oipitated to the bottom of tho lower hold which was a distance of thirty five feet. Wise struck upon his head aud shoulders and was killed instantly.

Smith Btruok upon his back, but in falling his head oame iu coiitaot with the side of the lower hatch and his akull was frac tured. The other man, James Garron, who wag tho Bhip's carpenter, was at work on the second deck and was struck by tho hatohway cover, whioh slipped down the opening after the men. He was injured internally. An ambulance call was sent out at once and was responded to by Ambulance Surgeon Miles of the Long Island college hospital. Smith was placed in the vehicle uneonsoious and Garron was removed with him to the hospital.

Smith's skull is badly fractured and he will hardly survive. The carpenter's injuries are maiuly internal and what their exact nature is has not yot been fully ascertained. Wise was 35 years old, Smith 40 aud Garron 38. The residence of tho two longshoremen has not yet been ascertained. TWKNTY TEARS IN STATE PRISON.

James Walker, a Notorious Second Story Burglar, Sentenced. Ono of the best known of tho second story thieves whs have made Brooklyn their stamping ground iu the past deoade, was before Judge Moore in the court of sessions for sentenoe this morning. He was James alias "Nigger" Walker. On the evening of January 1, of this year, the houses of Robert Blume, John H. Moeller and H.

T. Metzler on Ross Btreet, aud of George H. Sow den of 100 Hewes street, wero entered by Walkor after his usual method by the second story. At Mr. Sowden'a he was surprised and Jumped to the oourt yard, a distance of fifteen feet.

He injured his lea and was captured by Mr. Sotvdon in a vacant lot at the corner of Bed ford avenue and Hewes street. When Walker was arraigned a few days ago he pleaded not guilty to enough indiotments to put him in the penitentiary for eighty years. Foster L. Backus was assigned by tho court to defend him.

This morning he had ohanged his mind and pleaded guilty to an indictment for burglary in the second decree and to an indiotment for grand lar ceny in the first dogree. Judge Moore sentenced him to a term of ten years for eacn offense, making twenty years in alL KATIE VISITS THE HBKRY GO R0UD, Altliooffb She lai Good IJirl Made Her Trouble.

Local Leaders Do Not Seem to Think That There is Much Significance in the Selection of Chicago Cleveland is Strong, of Course, but Hill Sentiment is Growing Among Workers. The seleotlon of Chioago as the plaoo for hold ing tbe national Demooratio convention does not stir a ripole on the calm surface of the Democracy of Kings county. So far as any expression of opinion oould be olicitud this morning the local leaders haveu't begun to worry about tho national convention yet. The state convention will be held first, to seleot delegates at large, but there is no local gossip about the time or place of the state convention, and none of the Brooklyn leaders have any preferences whioh they are willing to make public. The four Brooklyn mem bers of the state committee are Hugh McLaughlin, John Delmar, Distriot Attorney James W.

Ridgway and Couuty Clerk John Cottier. Hugh MoLaughlin said this morning that Chicago was satisfactory to him as tho convention city if it pleased other people, but he hadn't thought about tho matter aud didn't know whether tho choice was favorable to Cleveland or Hill. As to his own preferences, or the local sentiment as between thoBe candidates, Mr. McLaughlin is not talking. County Clerk Cottier Baid there were only three suitablo convention oitios Now York, Chicago and Saratoga.

He didn't think anybody in Brooklyn objected to Chicago, where the hotels were ample. As to the political significance of Chicago, Mr. Cottier hadn't heard anything. The delegation chosen by the state conveution to the Chioago body would be governed by the unit rule, as they always had been, he said. They just sweep the earth oat there," was ex Congressman Felix Campbell's comment on the choice of Chicago.

Mr. Campbell added that it was too early yet for any discussion of the state convention or local preferences for prealdontial candidates. By and by when the situation developed the Brooklyn votes wonld go whero they oould do the most good. The talk of an alliance between the Kings county Democrats and D. Cady Herrick and the Cleveland Democrats in the state, which was heard after the Saratoga gtate convention, Mr.

Campbell thought was merely newspaper gossip. "If there was any thought of sach an alliance last summer it had beon dropped he said. Another influential Democrat said that Hill sentiment among the party workers had boon very muoh strengthened since the governor had secured the state senate for the Democrats and Hill was now the local favorite. "You are the first man who has mentioned the Chioago oonventiou to me," said Register ThomaB J. Kenna, this afternoon.

"I don't think the place where the convention held will make a particle of difference with the result. Evervhodv can set fair nlar iu Chicago. But I haveu't been thinking about tbo national or state conventions. Wo shall go to tho state convention and elect our delegates under the uult rule, as usual, I preiume. There is no objection to tho unit rule in Kings county." District Attorney Ridgway, who is out of the oity, is a Hill man.

Mil. AND MRS. HAWLEY OUPfiAN Make a Late Vii.li to the Tenth Precinct Station Home, At 10 o'clock last night Captain Early was sitting in his private office at tho Tenth precinct station house when Mr. and Mrs. Chapman entered.

The captain says that Chapman talked rationally enough on various topics, bnt it was plain to be seen that he had been drinking and that his wife waB much worried about his condi tion. Nothing was Baid on the subject, however. Hawley Chapman monopolizing all the conversa tion. After a stay of about half an hour the couple left and returned to their residenco in St. Marks avenue.

Ab was told in yesterday's Eaqle, the original plans wero too elaborate and no bids were received within the appropriation. The plans were modified and contracts aggre gating $285,000 were let ont. The commission has not been a harmonious one.

There haB been continual clashing among its members, or rather between Colonel David E. Austen, who represents tbe interests of the regiment, and a few of the city and county offioials who comprise the re mainder of the commission. Colonel Austen haB from the beginning fought for a building with lots of room. Recently an application was made to tho legis laturo for $100,000 in addition to the $300,000 appropriated for the erection of the Twenty third regiment armory. At yesterday's meeting of the Thirteenth regiment armory commission it was intimated tbat a similar application would be made for the Thirteenth regiment armory fund.

It is evident from thiB that the armory cannot be erected, evon in accordance with the revised plans, within the appropriation. Colonel AiiBten contends that, in order to make the building suitablo for occupation by tha regiment, considerable additional money will be required to oomplete Hon the basis of this modified plans. These reduce the size of the drill hall considerably and in various ways detract from the advantages which the regiment expected to get out of the $300,000 appropriation. Colonel Austen had this to say this morning: "My views on this matter have been perfectly plain from the first. I want an armory.

What is good enough for the Seventh regiment in New York is good enough for me. I wanted to take the $300,000 and put up a simple, plain solid, substantial buildiug with pleuty of drill room in it. I objected to the wings as a waste of room and a waste of money. I was overruled by the commission on this point, and the result was that twelve feet of the main drill room was sacrificed for the wiugs. Then I wanted to leave them till the rest of the armory had been completed that is, to leavo them til the last when, if there was any money left, they might bo built.

If there wasn't, the regiment would bo just as well off. It would have its full sized drill shed, and the towers could come later, whenever the money was to be had for that pur pose. But I was beaten on that, too. The plans were modified, and the towers went up The result is that our drill hall, inatoad of beiug 200x300, as was originally intended will bo 200x131 feet. I insisted ou having the full width and got it by sacrificing 160 feet in length.

The end will be boarded up and if more raonoy is to be had the extension can be easily attached.but, for my part, I'd rather have seen the armory proper completed first and the towers left for the additional appropriation. Why, those towers cost $40,000. When the plans wero modified all the plastering was knocked out, aud it was decided to have single floors Without tbe extension we won't be muoh bettsr off in the new armory than we are in tho old So the extension suouid De mult. Tho new tactics require touch more room than the old and, if the armory is finished according to the present plans, there won't be room for tho proper drilling of the regiment. I don't want columns of terra cotta nor fauoy exterior.

I want building to drill the Thirteenth regimont i The commission has had its way iu spite of my opposition. Now we've got to have moro money to finish tho armory if it's to b3 of any practical benoflt to the regiment." With tho exoeption of the Seventh regiment armory all the New York military quarters ar smaller than those now under way for the Brook lyn regiments. Three new armories have been erected in that city rceencly aud two others aro under way. These figures show the oont of the New York armories and sites therefor: TortlMi raflmsnt armorr. site 8210.000 Twelfth regiment armory, erootion 200.000 Total 8500,088 Eighth regiment armory, site 9215,000 Eigtlth regiment armory, erection auo.uui Total asis.ooo Twenty second regimont armory, site Twenty second regiment armory, $805,000 303.000 Total $568,000 The Seventy flrBt armory commission has paid $437,000 for a site, aud the site recommended for the new Sixty ninth armory commission will cost in the neighborhood of $733,000.

SUICIDE OF A FtJUBTIKil THAR OLD BO Machias, January 22. Willie Bluwt, awed 14, son of Robert Stuart of Machiaapbrt, got anxry with another member of the family yegterday.weonred a pistol and bot And Her Sailor Husband Happy. 16 A Domestic Romance in Which a Brooklyn Church Member Played an Impor tant Part How lester S.

Hubbard Gave a Young Wife Protection. Lester S. Hubbard, a member of the First Presbyterian churoh, on Heury street, who was required to produce in court yesterday tho 10 year old wife of William E. Dickinson, on a writ of habeas oorpus sworn out by tho husband, appears, it would seem, in an unpleasant light. Hubbard is a stenographer at 08 Chambers street.

New York, and, abcording to tho direotory, resides In Brooklyn, at 204 Columbia heights. Ho made tho aoquaintanoo of Lillie Jack some time ago, when she lived with her mother and two younger sisters at 481 Warren street. In November Llllio waB Beoretly married to Diokinsau, a sailor, whom she had mat at Wadlug River, L. I. She parted with him immediately after the marriage oeromony, however, aud roturuod to her mother, now in tho Power building, in Baltic street.

Mrt. Jaok is employed at night in a big dry goods house on Fulton street. When she returned home one morning, after her daughter's marriage, hor two younger children let fall a word or two which led hor to visit at once tho office of lhe children's sooiety and ask the advice and helo of Superintendent Wilkiu. "An Investigation," said the latter to an Eagle reDorter. "disclosed the fact that Hubbard had spent the night in Mrs.

Jack's apartment, was not in company either of the vonncor cirls. and aa Lillie was moro than 10 years of age, she was, of course, out ide my Inrisdiction. Hubbard did not come to the house again and shortly afterward Liiine disappeared. I understand that she used to call upon him iu his room at 804 Columbia heights, eTen after Mrs. Jaok had asked the people in the bouso to prevent any such meetings." Mrs.

Jaok told tho society's officers that Hubbard used to read the Bible to her and her children when he came to the house. Bne new that he was a church member and naturally supposed that ho was all right. When Dickinson returned from a sea voyage and found his wife gone ho began a search for Hubbard, which resulted, it is said, in the discovery of the couple at 50 Rogers avenue. He served out a writ of habeas corpus, with the result as published at length in yesterday's Eaole. Although wine told Jivstice Cullon in dcoided terms that she would not live with her husband.

Dickinson ought the home of his young wife yester day afternoon and finally persuaded tier to reconsider her resolution. When an Eaole eportor called Mrs. Jack came to the door. Lillie, who was in sight, had evidently neon weeping. 8aid the mother! My daughter has been very foolish, but sue is repentant and has received forgiveness from her husband.

They are both here now, where they intend to remain. There really is nothing more to say." This morning counsel for the husband told Justice Cullen that his client was satisflott and the case was dismissed. Hubbard, it said, has an affidavit signed by Lillie in which she declares that sua was compelled to home by her mother, who called hev bad names. In her distress she wrote to him and he gave her an asylum. Efforts by a re porter to find Hubbard hive been in vain.

Until a weak ago he boarded at 204 Columbia heightB, when he said he was going away awhile for his health. He promised, the people there fflrm, ts send his new address to the house, but has failed to do so. Rev. diaries Onthbert Hall the First Presbyterian oluirch said to an rowortsr: We will at once give Mr. Hubbard a chance to clear himself, for we cannot nndertalte to condemn a man unheard.

He has beeu a member of the church for some time. I first heard the tories regarding him some days ago. I really know nothing about the man whatsoever. Ho came to us as hundreds of others do." ONE BIG CITY. The Real Estate Exchange on Proposed Consolidation.

Resolutions in Favor of Andrew H. Green's Scheme to be Offered This Afternoon Mr. George W. Chauncey Thinks That Sentiment is in Favor of the Change, a Statement Which Provokes a Smile What Do the Real Estate Men Want, Anyhow i At a meeting of the board of trustees of the Brooklyn real estate exchange this afternoon resolutions will be offered strongly advocating the passage of Andrew H. Green's bill looking to a consolidation of New York and Brooklyn and pledging the exchango to do its best to help consolidation along.

If tho board adopt the resolutions the action will bo significant, as among its members are iuoludod such real estate owners and operators as William Ziegler, G. M. Chauncey, Howard M. Smith, J. G.

Dettmer, Leonard Moody, Jesse Johnson, Edward F. Lin ton, 0. E. Dounellon, Darwin R. James, ielix Campbell and others.

The idea of adopting these resolutions aud of pledging the institution to the support of the scheme was firnt mentioned the other evening at the meeting of tho auction room committee. George W. Chauncoy is the secretary of the exchange. When asked by an Eaole roporter this morning for information concerning this action of the board of trustees he politely de clined on the around that it would be premature. When asked what wero bis own personal views on the subject of a consolidation of Brook lyn, New York and half Queens caanty, he said; favor it and so does almost every real estate man, II 1 nave spoKen to one i nave uposon a hundred on tha matter, and without a Bingio exception all have favored It.

In my opinion, on tho day when consolidation becomes a fact the valuation of real eBtate in this city will bo increased $50,000,000. There are many reasons why this should be bo. There are to day corporations in New York who will not leud mouoy in Brooklyn simply because it ia Brooklyn. Our taxes are high and our arrears law is bo complicated and stringent. This hampers building aud transactions real OBtate.

It wao only yesterday that I was talking to a largo builder in this oity. He tried to make a loan on first clasB property from a New York Institution. He was refused and was told that the only reason was that the property was iu Brooklyn. If' tho two oitios were coBolidated the same muuicipal laws would govern both cities. That would do away with that difficulty aud would bring capital here for investment.

Consolidation would mean that the bridge would be nothing more than a Btreet and that a man could get into an elevated car in the Twenty sixth ward and go to Harlem without ohanging. In stead of having only one bridge and throe or four corporations lighting to build another half a dozen bridges would span tho river aud tunnels would go beneath it. Brooklyn would not have to pay for two thirds of the expense either. Taxes would be reduced and in a hundred other ways Brooklyn would be benefited." Notwithstanding Mr. Chauncey's statement it is not believed that he refloots the views of any considerable number of citizens, and tho gen eral talk around town was to the effect that a few real estate meu were trying to get up a little Bchemo solely for their own profit.

1883. SHARP DEBATE. An Acrimonious Discussion in the State Senate. Republican Accusations Against the Democratic Majority Senator Brown Gives Warning The Single Head Park Commission Bill Introduced aitd Aspiu nll Presents an Act Providing for a Similar Change in the Excise DepartmentThe Senate Rules Business iu the House. Special to the Eacle.l Aliuny, N.

Jauuary 22. The senate hid a lively session to day. The nspirine cause was a bill re.listrictine tho wards if Rochester aud creatinz four new wards which lad been reported favorably by I ho cities com Li I tee. It is confessedly a political bill and was op losed by the Hepublicans and supported by the Democrats. The former urged the piinciplo of lomo rule in its opposition and then switched off nto a tirade aealust the Democrats for havine: a tiajority in the senate.

In the courio of his speech Senator O'Connor laid that a committee oueht to be appointed to lnd out the infamous meatiB and practices by rbion spurious uiemosrs were imposed on tho leuate. He was called to order by Senator Mc ilahon. and tho president sustained the point vnd directed the senator to proceed order. The discussion erew more aoriuiouioiis as it lroereised until Senator Brown of New York treated a aensatson by announcing that if any leuator made insinuations against his honesty of jurpose, he would meet him as one gentleman compelled to meet another when there was a juoBtlon of honor between them. At this point a recess was taken to allow the nember to meet Paul Deschauel of the French jhamber of deputies, who was introduced by Senator Cantor.

Tho discussion continued when tho president resumed his seat and the bill was finally passed. The single headed park commission bill was introduced in the senate by Senator McCarty. Senator Aspiiiall thoucht that, if the ehanje was sood for the park department, it would be good for the excise department, and he offered a bill amendinc chapter 503 of the laws of 1888, eo that its second section shall read as follows: Sec. 8. There shall bo one commissioner of who shall be appointed by the mayor ts hereinbefore provided.

His term of office lhall be for two years, except that the Mtnmissiouer first appointed under this act thall serve from the date of his appointment until the first day of February, 1S04. rhe said commissioner of excise appointed un Jor this act shall have full power in all mat' era pertaining to excise in the city of Brooklyn. The isiary of the new commissioner is fixed at $5,000 a year and the mayor is authorized to appoint him within twenty days after the passage ef the bill. Senator Bloodgood offered a bill providing for the buildina of a new state prison, which was tent to the finance committee. At 2 o'clock the senate adjourned till Tuesday.

Mr. McClelland offered iu tho senate a resolution directing the committed on taxation and retrenchment to make an investigation into the advisability of exempting from taxation land held by cemetery associations. Under the present law all lands used for burial purposes are fruo fiom taxation. There were many cemeteries conducted by business corporations and they ought to be taxed the same as auy other business corporation. Senator Roesch said that the resolution was an important one and at his request its consideration was postponed till Tuesday evening.

The charge of undue haBte iu the passage of iils, with which the Republicans opened the session of tho legislature, was heard again to day in the assembly, and from present indications it will be heard all through the session. What It means Colonel Webster of New York explained clearly in meeting it. Colonel Webster is chairman of the citieB Committee, and he reported favorably several bills affecting the city of Troy, on which a hearing was given yesterday afternoon. Assemblyman Worden, Republican, of Rensselaer county paid that the haste with which the majority was proceeding was disgraceful, and moved that tho bills bo sent back to the committeo for further consideration. Colonel Webstor thereupon arose and said that there were two reasonB why such a charge should not be made.

One was that it was uot true aud the other was that it oame with bad grace from tho party which made it. "I have seenuudue haste here," he ooritiuued, "and I know what it is to be in a minority, but I ehall not be a party to auy retaliating measures." The bills were not referred The citieB committee has reported favorably Assemblyman O'Connor's bill providing that honorably discharged members of tho fire de. partment, employed as engineers in the public buildings of Kings county, cannot be removed without having an opportunity to bo heard. Assemblyman Cooner has introduced Mayor Eoody'e Bitigle head park commission bill. Assemblyman Weed had a rasolution read this morning directing the speakor to appoinl a nub committeo to examine into the evils of the sweating system and report back to the house, so that a law might be framed which would do i.way with such evils.

The committee is te be authorized to employ all means necessary for the prosecution of the investigation. Mr. Weed announced that he would offer the resolution for adoption on Monday. Assemblyman James W. Ilusted thereupon swooped down upon him, and aniounced that he should oppose its adoption, as he was opposed to special committees of all kinds.

The scnato cornmitice on ruleB met this morning befcre the sessiou, and decided to adopt the senate rules ef last year with amendments, allow, ing the president of the Benate to designate a senator to act as president of the netiato for two days instead of one, and providing that such designations cannot be revoked by the senate Regarding the refusal of the senators to Yots Rule 14, iB amended by providing that if auy senator refused to Tote, unleis he is excused by the senate, such refusal shall bo deemed a contempt and until purged all privileges of membership shall be refused to the person or persons' so offending. Rule 27 is amended so as to allow the tiual passage of a bill on the earns day that it is ordered to third reading. Rule 31 is amended by providing that every 1,111 ehall be printed upon introduction. linlo 40 is amenJud by providing that a concurrent resolution referring to adjournment need not lie on the table for one day. Rule 47 is amended so as to provide tht the senate may go into executive session by v.ite of the majority of senators "present" instca 1 of "electod." Nominations from lie governor (except of no tr.rius public) under tho rules aB amended by tho committee my confirmed at once instead of fiiit having to be referred to a standing committee.

The committee on rules comprises Senators Cantor and l'i'Uer, Democrats, aad Erwiu, Re It uaa lli' general impression that the previous would be provided for in the amended i mks, but thi wa not done. 'lhe provision of rule 47 of the last senate, tnat "the continuation of tue Humiliation for auy office except ttiat of notary public, shall require a majority of all tbs senators elected," is strickon out. Anew rule to bo known as No. 55, is pro. vidod, readiu" as follows: "For the purpose of securing the awtfffUancu of members a call of the senate may be ordered at any time." x.

Vhen the senate convened the report of the committoe on rules was presented by Senator Cantor. Senator Erwiu said that he dissented from the amendments to rules 14 and 27.
