Eugene Tollner, Noted Cafe Man, Dies Here at 86 Brooklyn Restaurateur, 56 Years--Passes on Eve of His 86th Birthday Eugene Tollner, dean of New York City's active restaurateurs and founder of Gage Tollner's Restaurant. now located at 372 Fulton died last night of a heart attack at his home, 163 DeKalb Ave.

He would have been 86 today. Mr. Tollner, who had been associated with the restaurant for 56 years, fell on an icy pavement while on his way to the restaurant on Dec. 4. The fall was due toi a stroke.

Although badly shaken he continued to the restaurant and stayed there until 4 p.m. Upon returning home he suffered another stroke, which caused him to fracture his collar bone and his elbow. He had been unable to leave his home since. The famous old restaurant was founded in 1879 because of Charles M. Gage's fondness for cigars.

Mr. Gage. a Wall Street broker, had been in the habit of stopping at a booth in Fulton St. to buy cigars from Mr. Tollner.

One day while Mr. Tollner was reaching for his favorite brand. Mr. suggested that they form a partnership and open a restaurant. The suggestion immediately took with Mr.

Tollner and Mr. Gage asked him when wanted to begin. Mr. Tollner replied that he was ready to start once and from that day on he was in the restaurant business. The partners remained with the establishment after it was sold to the firm of Cunningham Ingalls in 1911.

the new owners' first move being to retain the original name and the services of their predecessors. Mr. Gage remained with the restaurant until his death in 1920. In 1921 the restaurant was brought by Seth Bradford Dewey, who installed Mr. Tollner as general manager.

Despite his mounting years, Mr. Tollner insisted on doing a little more than a day's work every day, his custom being to arrive for work promptly at 7 a.m. and remain until about 6 p.m. Notables Visit Him Last Dec. 12.

on his 85th birthday, Mr. Tollner went to work at the usual time, prepared to do his daily duties. It was just another day to him, but it was not to be passed by so lightly by many leading Brooklynites, who had long counted Mr. Tollner among their circle of close friends. Shortly after Mr.

Tollner had opened the restaurant on that day in walked Frank V. Kelly, Democratic leader of Brooklyn, to extend congratulations. Then along came John R. Crews, Republican boss of the county, and Presiding Justice Edward Lazansky of the Appellate Division to wish him many happy returns of the day. Rear Admiral Robert Forshew, retired, also stopped in to congratulate him.

Still another who dropped in was Supreme Court Justice Lewis L. Fawcett. He recalled that the first meal he had eaten away from home was at Gage Tollner's Restaurant some 50 years before. Was Teetotaler That afternoon there was a birthday cake and an old-fashioned birthday party. It was, however.

more than anything else a reunion with Frank Baker, brother of former Secretary of War Newton D. Baker. and Mr. Dewey right in the midst of a group of old friends and admirers. Mr.

Tollner was a teetotaler, but sidestepped his rule on New Year's Eve in 1933. when he drank to Mr. Dewey's health. He thought it might be the last time he would have a chance to do it. Mr.

Tollner was born in lower Manhattan. Dec. 12. 1849, the son of Charles Tollner. His mother was a member of the Schlemmer family.

The elder Tollner was a hardware merchant. His business eventually became the Hammacher, Schlemmer Co. Tried Broom Business Mr. Tollner was in the hardware business with his father for a while and then went into the broom bustness. Later he was associated with the firm of Jackson Kowenhoven.

He next bought an interest in the old firm of Hall Blair, cigar manufacturers. Mr. Tollner was an enthusiastic wheelman in the bicycling era and rode one of the early high-wheel Later he was one of the first owners of the safety bicycles, AS the new two-wheelers were called. He owned and drove a horse and carriage for many years. When motorcars were introduced he was one of the first to purchase one.

He drove his own machine until 1924. Mr. Tollner was the husband of the late Lucy W. Hedge, who died Dec. 3, 1923.

He was a charter member of the Long Island Wheelman and a life member of Central Lodge, 361, F. A. M. Surviving 1s a son, Gage Eugene of Spring Valley, N. after Mr.

Tollner's former partner; his daughter-in-law and a granddaughter, Katharine Forman. Funeral services will be held at the DeKalb Ave. home on Sunday at 2 p.m. Host to Notables White mustached Eugene Tollner had rounded out his 55th year as a In that time. he played host to such notables as Henry Ward Beecher, Diamond Jim Brady, Mayor Gaynor and Theodore Tilton.

He personally knew hundreds of prominent Brooklynites and news of his death brought expression. of regret from judges. lawyers and leading citizens. It was in 187. that Mr.

Tollner and Mr. Gage opened an oyster bar at 302 Fulton St. Ten vears later Gage and Tollner's moved to the present Fulton St. address. then regarded as being "away Success came quickly.

Specialized in Oysters Mr. Tollner's secret of success. he told interviewers, was on one foodstuff-oysters. "When Charles M. Gage and I went into business together," hel MOURNED Eugene Tollner said.

"we chose to dedicate all our efforts toward serving the best oysters in the city. Never would there be an oyster opened until the order was given for it. No permitting of opened oysters to sit around until called for. We specialized in chops too, but oysters came first." It was Mr. Tollner who inaugurated the policy of closing the restaurant in the Summer, during the season when there are no edible oysters.

On his 50th anniversary as a restaurateur, he said that there hadn't been much change in food demands during the past half century. Nor had the people themselves changed a great deal. Mirrors for Decorations "Only in their dress." he said. "When we moved here and it came to fixing up the decorations, I said to myself, any kind of decorations you put up people will get tired of looking at. There's only one thing people don't get tired of looking at, that's themselves.

So I put in mirrors-and they've been here since. "Well, different kinds of people have passed in front of those mirrors, looked at themselves as they passed. Ladies with skirts trailing to the ground, with bustles and those old-fashioned hats perched on their "In those days women didn't smoke. We didn't permit smoking of any kind until 1902 and ladies only 20 years later. You didn't ladies stopping to powder themselves or any of those things.

nowadays are more open in their Ladies manners, I should say, but I shouldn't say they're less moral. sir." Asked recently how it felt to be an employe, rather than the owner, he said, "I like it a lot better than being the big boss. I just do as I'm told -and don't have any of the responsibilities." He scorned the thought of retirement. John B. Phillips Services Tonight Funeral services will be held tonight at St.
