THE BBOOEXYK DAILY EAGLE SATUKDAT, MABCH 20, 1897. 14 SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. IS MILLER SHAMMING? VOTED TO SELL THE TO REPAVE ATLANTIC AVENUE, Second Eeport of the Improvement Commission to the Mayor. elve the approximate total cost of said Improvements In round figures, which is J612.O0O. Respectfully submitted.

WALTER M. MESEROLE. The bill now pending before the legislature relating to the treatment, of the railroad, provides for the appointment of a commission under whose direction the work shall be carried on. We are of the opinion that the proposed further Improvement of the avenue should be under the direction and charge of the same commission, for the following reasons: The work can be done most economically in connection with the work of changing the grade of the ralway tracks, and under the same authorities, because there will then be no duplication of the work: the backfilling of excavations will be done by the same parties who are to be responsible for the Integrity of the pavement; tho organization of temporary railroad tracks and construction trains will be useful for removing surplus earth and bringing in the materials for paving, very materially saving in the Hem of freight, and the advantages of a single authority in dealing with pipe corporations, grades, rights of adjacent owners, will be secured. If this work were done under anyv city department, the cost of supervision would be large and much additional labor would be entailed on the olliclals of that department, while this commission, being organized for the work, can handle it with very little added expense.

The commission being of the opinion that legislation be required to authorize "the Improvement of the avenue, as herein suggested, we, therefore, respectfully recommend that such a bill be prepared by the law department of the City of Brooklyn and introduced in tho legislature at Albany for the purpose of providing for the entire co operative plan of improving the avenue. All of which Is respectfully submitted. E. G. BLACKFORD.

IN HONOR OF FATHER 01RE, An Alleged Deaf Mute Sent to Jail. A middle aged man who claims that his name is Ernest Miller, and that he is. deaf and dumb was sentenced to jail for ten days by Police Justice Goetting in tho Loo avenue court today. The police believe that Miller is a pro essionl besrgar. They are of the opinion that he speaks not only English but also Gorman.

Miller was arrested Thursday night on Myrtle avenue, where he waB soliciting alms on tho strength of being deaf and dumb When the prisoner was searched by Policomen Schindlor and Babbinglon at tho Thirteenth precinct station house the following assortment of notes wab found: "Please give me a pair of boots or a little mo ney I am deaf and dumb." "Please give me a pair of pants or a little money. I am deaf and chimb. "Please give mo a vest or a little money. I am deaf and dumb." "Please give me a coat or a little money. I am deaf and dumb." Please give me a brown derby hat.or a little money.

I am doaf and dumb." "It is evident to me that this man wanted a new suit of clothes," said Police Captain Eason, after ho had read the notes, which were penned in a bold hand on foolscap paper. The policemen were about to place Miller in a when they found a card on tho back of which was written: "Hold out your hand and I will read your future for 26 cents." Miller had German translations of all the notes and the police believe that the alleged mute speaks and writes both languages. In tho Lee avenue police conrt thiB morning when Justice Goetting said Ten days in jail," Miller Btalked back to the prisoners' pen much after the fashion of a man who was cognizant of the sentence of the court. MANY DIVOECES GRANTED. TEN UNDEFENDED CASES THE SUPREME.

COURT. IN Most of the Couples of German ParentageA Farmer 70 Years Old and His Young Wife. Louis Dalrymple, a cartoonist on Puck, was divorced yesterday from Mrs. Leila A. Dalrym ple of 519 Macon Street by decree of Justice Van Wyck in supreme court.

The couple were married on March 5, 1887, and they separated on October 5, 1895, after Mrs. Dalrymple had found a letetr in her husband's pocket signed "Helen." Plaintiff's father, George F. Carpenter, testified that he had learned that the defendant stayed for some time in August, 1895, in a room next to the room of Helen Swanson at 34 East Twelfth street. 'William Hedin, janitor of 48 West Ninety eighth street, New York, testified that Dalrymple lived under the name of Meredith with Helen Swanson from October, 1895, to June, 1896. Testimony also showed that the artist lived with Mamie Good in Rye, from June 1, 1896, to September, 1896, and afterward at the Mornlngside flats, New York.

Alimony for $17.50 a week was granted. Michael E. Leonard, a lithographer, has secured a separation from his wife as he petitioned for, but in reality the outcome of the trial before Justice Maddox was a victory for the accused woman. She was charged with being an habitual drunkard and with being excessively cruel to her husband. The court declined to find that she was a drunkard and ordered a judgment for mutual separation, Mrs.

Leonard to have the custody of the one child, a little girl, and $12 a week alimony. Mrs. Leonard had been upon the witness stand in her own defense for over two hours when the Judgment was entered. She made an excellent witness. She blamed her mother in law for much of the trouble in the family.

She admitted that she had thrown a red hot stovelid at her husband, hut she said it was in self defense, as he had been beating her. When questioned in regard to the testimony of two police officers that they had found her In a street car one day with a bottle of champagne in one hand and a wineglass in the other, she said that she had been to see her husband at his office. She was taken sick on the way home and had no recollection of what occurred until she found herself in the police station. Justice Maddox asked Mrs. Leonard if she was willing to return to her husband.

Her answer was: "Your honor, my husband cares nothing for me, and I can never live with him again." The justice then remarked that there had been fault on both sides in the case and rendered judgment as has been stated. EULES F0K THE MUSEUM, INSTITUTE BOARD OF TRUSTEES SUBMITS THEM TO THE MAYOR.

WILL CONTINUE SERVICES. The Property Is Worth $23,000 and Has a Mortgage of $9,000, With a Small Floating Debt Pastor's Salary to Be Reduced After August 1 Committee Appointed to Investigate the Organist's Resignation. At a meeting held last night for the purpose of considering the financial embarassmeut of the First Baptist church, of which the Rev. H.

J. Guller is pastor, at Lenox road and Nos trand avenue, Flatbush, it was decided to sell the present edifice after the necessary legal proceedings and to reduce the running "expenses of the church. This means not only that the society will seek less expensive quarters, but also that a reduction will be made in the pastor's salary after August 1, according to the statement of a trustee of the church made this morning to an Eagle reporter. The action taken last night was not unexpected by those familiar with the affairs of the church, as for some time it has been known that decided action would have to be taken. The church buildlriE is sadly in need of repairs.

Last night's meeting was well attended and the following trustees were present: T. H. Roberts, president; Justus W. Smith, clerk; J. W.

Morrell, J. A. De Baun, Joseph Stewart, W. A. Dempsey, W.

B. Andrews, C. C. Wells and Dr. Stumpf.

The president stated the object of the meeting and said that, as the trustees had no way of meeting the Indebtedness, it was wise to take some action at once. After considerable discussion a resolution was offered and carried unanimously that the trustees of the church be authorized to sell tho present edifice after proceeding In the regular course prescribed by law. It was also voted to reduce the expenses one half. A committee of two, Justus W. Smith and J.

A. De Baun, was then appointed to ascer tain why Mrs. E. H. Harrison, who has been organist of the church for some time, resigned her position.

The resignation in question was handed to tho church officials some time this week. A member cf the church said to day: "You can say this, that tbo church society will not be dissolved, and the pastor's salary will not be reduced u. after the first of August, when his year ends. Wo may build a smaller church or hire a hall, but services will be continued. The society will probably appeal to the Church Extension society for aid.

Mrs. Harrison, the organist; yes, she did hand in her resignation as organist a few days ago, but for what rerason I do not know. The committee will, I presume, ascertain that." The church property is valued at $22,000 and is mortgaged for $9,000. Added to this is a floating debt of $500 or $600, a part of which is said to be the salary due the pastor. The membership is about $100, while the Sunday school has an equal number of members.

The church was organized in 1872. THE WEATHER. INDICATIONS TILL 8 P. M. TO MORROW.

EDWARD J. WILLIAM WALTON, FRANCIS GROSS, Commissioners, J. mbSO 12t ESTIMATED COST $612,000. The Commission Recommends That This Sum Be Assessed Equally Upon Property Holders, the City and the RailroadProper Paving, With Other Improvements, Would Make the Avenue One of the Great Arteries of the City. The second report of the Atlantic avenue commission was presented to Mayor Wurster ibis morning.

It is as follows: Office the Atlantic Avium Commlsslor 1S9 Montacue street. llr.H.klvn. Miireh IS, ISO' 1 His Honor, the Mayor of the City ot BrooKlyn: The commission appointed "to examine into anil Mport a. plan for the relief and improvement of Atlantic avenue in the City of Brooklyn." here with make further report of their conclusions and recommendations in reference to the Improvement of said avenue. The report submitted to your honor January 1S97.

covered the detail ot organization, public hearings and the General condition of Atlantic avenuo as a thoroughfare, but was devoted principally to what the commission regarded as the chief factor in the problem, namely: The presence and operation of the Long Island railroad by Steam on the surface of the avenue. Reference to our prleiminary report will more fully convey Information on that part of the subject. The commission are gratified to know that their report so favorably impressed your honor that by your direction a bill lias been prepared by thp law department of the city and is now landing In the legislature at Albany. The purpose of the bill belnK to relieve the avenue of the objectionable features attending the operation of a surface steam railroad thereon, it is to be hoped the bill will become a law. The commission are still firmly of the belief that the carrying out of their provisions will lie of incalculable advantage to the City of Iirookiyn at large, and especially to the very large district immediately affected as well as to the entire territory of Long Isbuid, whose future growth and development are a matter of large concern to the commercial interests of the City of Brooklyn.

Havine thus treated the o.uestion of the steam railroad, the commission has since actively addressed themselves to the remaining features of the problem submitted to them. It was undoubtedly, originally Intended that Atlantic avenue should be a great artery of communication from the front, through the City of Brooklyn to the district comprising I Island to the eastward. This great purpose, however, has boon defeated; the usefulness and material interests of the avenue have been dwarfed by the presence of the surface steam railroad, and its Improvement as a thoroughfare sadly neglected. The property owners along the line have suffered, values have depreciated, and its condition has been, and is now, most deplorable. Therefore, the commission believe the time has come when these disadvantages that alllict the city In many ways, as well as property fronting upon and adjacent to the avenue, should be remedied, that their work would be incomplete unless provision were made looking to the improvement of the avenue in all respects, so that It shall he, in fact, a fine thoroughfare of large contributlve advantage to all interests, that the work of improvement should immediately follow the proposed change In the character of the railroad operation.

The commission find upon examination of the avenue between Flatbush av. nue and the city line, a varied condition of improvement, or lack of Improvement, as the case may be. That portion between Flatbush avenue and Bedford avenue, is paved with granite block pavement. That portion between I Iedford avenue and Vesta avenue, a distance of over two miles and a half, is In a miserable condition. It appears that in former years the avenue was graded, curbed and partially improved by thin macadamizing, and the property subjected to assessments therefor, but said improvement has long sinoe disappeared by reason of neglect and acc amulatlons of deposits upon the surface.

The roadway between Vesta avenue and Berriman street, in the Twenty sixth ward, a distance of a mile and a quarter, is paved fifteen feet in width from each curb, with granite blocks, but by reason of the introduction of sewer, water and sras mains, has been so frenuently torn up and disarranged as to practically ruin the pavement, requiring new treatment to restore it to even a favorable condition. The portion of the avenue between Berriman street and the city line, a. distance of one mile, is graded and curbed, but otherwise is in a condition of such deterioration as to be useless fo rvehicle traffic. The commislson believe tlint a comprehensive plan of improvement should be adopted, treating the entire avenue from Flatbush avenue to the city line, so that its condition shall lv practically alike in all parts. The cost of such Improvement may properly be divided into equitable parts and assessed upon the three Interests eerved.

namely: The city at large, the abutting property owners and the Long Island Railroad company. The justification of such proper division of contributing to the cost of such improvement may be found In the fact that the city government Is somewhat responsible for the ills that have existed on the avenue fur many years. The abutting property owners have from time to time paid ussessnient of improvoments that have Island RUlroad cono iny er will be large I'o iar provement; theref ro, we Should contribute a fair the cost thereof.

In connection with this subject. It is pertinent and timely to call attention to the activity of our neighbors in Queens county (within the lines of tho proposed greater N'ew York) in the matter of good roads. Within the next two years there will be expended over a million dollars for macadamizing the country roads through Queens county.

The improvement of Atlantic avoune will connect directly with tills comprehensive system. The present means of reaching thee line roads is by way of Glenmore avenue, opened and improved in 1S9G, but by reason of this avenue belnK the only connection, it has already become overcrowded by wrtfron trafllc, and the road bed so cut up as to be almost useless to bicyclists. A feature that has impressed the commission as an important and strong reason why the avenue should be improved, as outlined above, is the fact that the Twenty sixth ward, now iit IninK a population ot over eo.ouo Inhabitants, and rapidly growing in Importance, is praetio. illy without proper lines of ci mrnuni'i i with central business portions of City I In okl.vn, 1. the ward the wate oneentrati rk of rail reason of the tact, at the out the principal thoroUKhl'ar.

AN UNUSUALLY GOOD NUMBER. Do Not Miss TO MORROW' 32 PAGES, 3, CENTS. S3 INVESTIGATING FIRES. MARSHAL BRYMER ON THE TRAIL, OF INCENDIARIES. Thinks the Blaze on Atlantio Avenue Yesterday Due to Spite or Jealousy.

Fire Marshal Brymer spent a busy two hours this forenoon in his office at fire headquarters. Investigating the fires the last two days, and particularly the ten dollar blaze which took place in an unoccupied house in Italian row, 2,306 Atlantic avenue, early yesterday morning, where incendiarism was suspected. At the close of his investigation he told the Eagle reporter that the fire at the conrer of Navy street and Myrtle avenue was purely accidental. "That fire," he explained, "happened in the afternoon and you don't find firebugs at that time of the day. All that was found in the dumbwaiter shaft, where the fire startc tl.

were a small piece of oilcloth, a piece of the top of a tea chest and a bit of paper. There was no blaze at any time to amount to anything. A policeman went down and kicked it out. Our theory is that somebody in the building may have lighted a match and carelessly tossed it down the chute rather than throw It on the floor. We are watching the place carefully, however, and awaiting developments." In regard to the Steuben street fire, which originated In the cellar of the house at No.

137, Mr. Brymer found nothing suspicious after investigation this foreuoon. He had half a dozen of the tenants before him and the conclusion he reached was that someone of the tenants had carelessly thrown some ashes down the chute. He says the cellar is one of the filti est he ever saw and is made a dumping ground for coal, ashes, paper and old furniture. "There is no doubt in my mind," said the fire marshal, "that the slight blaze at 2,306 Atlantic avenue yesterday morning was the work of an incedlary, but it was more a matter of mischief or of revenge or jealousy than of a desire for gain.

The house itself is unoccupied, and there is no insurance on any of the houses in the row, so that there was no motive for a firebug to get in his work." Mr. Brymer denies that hte rubbish in the cellar where the fire started was saturated with kerosene oil, as was tated to the Eagle reporter yesterday by the foreman of engine No. 33. "I found an empty soda bottle," said the fire marshal, "and it smelt of kerosent, but there was nothing unusual about that. The Italians up there use kerosene oil altogether; they have nooll cans and you can't go into any of their cellars without finding a collection of soda bottles which have been used for holding kerosent oil.

As I say, the fire was started out of a spirit of mischief or jealousy. There have been several fires in the same house but it is a singular thing that in every Instance there has always been an Italian about to give the alarm. If there had been any insurance on the place at all. it would have put a differ ent complexion on the matter. I have ordered the house to be locked up till it is occupied and have also directed the police in the vicinity to keep a close watch on the premises." Marshal Brymer said he had no case to present to the grand jury as he had no evidence to lay before them.

The house in question was assigned to Joseph Tossing on January IS by Joseph S. Mitola, the fugitive Italian banker. WINDOW SMASHER AT WORK An Arrest This Morning Which Way Prove to Be Important.

DOONi THREATENS TO SHOOT I When Lawyer Brandt Calls Him a Gay Lothario, LIVELY SCENE AT A TRIAL. A 70 Year Old Resident of the Ninth Ward Accused by Bridget Hughes of Hugging Her He Objects to the Airy Persiflage of Counsel for the PlaintiffJustice Aspinall Compels an Apology.

There was scene for a few minutes vesterdav afternoon in the civil branch of the county court when Patrick Doonan, 70 years old, a house owner and a prominent Democrat in the Ninth ward, and who was defendant in a suit for damages, threatened to shoot counsel for the plaintiff. He was being sued for putting his arm around one of his tenants, Bridget Hughes of 418 Park place. The threat was made in the middle of Lawyer Charles F. Brandt's address to the jury, and a good many spectators thought the old Ninth warder meant business, for they grabbed their hats and coats and prepared to leave the room. An apology was demanded by the court, however, and the trial went on.

The suit was for $2,000 damages. The plaintiff went on the witness stand and testified that she was looking for rooms in July last and she was accompanied by the de fendant on July 20 in a visit to rooms belonging to the defendant to see if they would suit her. They did, and she engaged them. Before he went away, however, she says the defendant put his arm around her. The.

next month's rent was due on August and the defendant visited the plaintiff to collect the money. Then, she says, he put his arm around her again. She did manage, she continued in her testimony, to put out the land lord from the rooms and he went away. Two 1 witnesses, who were also tenants In the house, corroborated Mrs. Hughes' testimony.

Ex United States District Attorney Frank D. Wilbur claimed for the defendant that Mr. Doonan was not at the rooms occupied by tho plaintiff at either ol' the dates mentioned in the complaint. As a matter of fact, he said, Mr. Doonan was at Coney Island on both of the dates.

Mr. Doonan then denied that there was any truth In the charges. Summing up was begun, as testimony was all in, and Lawyer Brandt, for Mrs. Hughes, proceeded to hold Mr. Doonan up to the jury in terms that were highly in regard to his attentions to the fair sex.

Among cither things he aliuuetl to Air. Doonan as a "gay old Lothario." Mr. Doonan had been getting more and more excited, and as this was said he jumped from his seat and cried out: "You are trlng to rob me of my money. If you say another ward against me I will fill you full of bullets." Court Officer Kalt and another attendant grabbed the defendant, as the rustle among the increas ed, and at the command of Judge Aspinall brought him to the space before the bench. "Doonan," said his honor, sternly, "you will have to apologize to Mr.

Brandt at once ot I will Bend you to jail." "Oh, I apologize." said the old man. Then he hurried out of the court room, while Lawyer Brandt finished his argument In a milder vein. The jury brought in a verdict for 6 cents damages, with the same for costs of the action. Tills morning Lawyer Brandt applied to Judge Aspinall to set aside the verdict and order a new trial, as the verdict was against the weight of evidence. Decision was reserved.
