Veteran Gravesend Resident the Only Victim of the Park Row Accident THE WORLD'S GREATEST VIOLINIST Testifies that the PIANOLA, with the Metrostyle, gives a performance equal to that an artisS To siveetev, To refresh, To cleanse the system, Dispels colds and headaches wheri. bilious or constipated; For men, women and children; IMIH IIWIII III I Gentlemen: V. I consider your Pianola with ths Matrostyle an invention of the greatest importance to musical art. My firft impression upon hearing an instrument of this kind was that it would be harmful and misleading, but the Metrostyle Pianola has completely changed my opinion, for not only does it play the notes, corretflly, but, with the Metrostyle, interpretation is given which is equal to that of an artist. Your success is aisured.

JOSEPH JOACHIM. and Gently There is only one Genuine Synip of Figs; facial effects Always bay the genuine Mcnufacvired ty tha JOSEPH JOACHIM, universally conceded to be the greatest violinist of the age, is one of the recent but most enthusiastic advocates of the Pianola. He had heard other piano-players of which he could not approve and supposed all were much alike. It was with difficulty that he was persuaded to give the Pianola a hearing, but after listening to the first few bars of Mendelssohn's Variations Serieuse he became intensely interested, calling for one composition after another and marvelling greatly at the artistic and human-like effects that were obtained. It is to be specially noted that the feature of the P'anola which effected his complete conversion was the Metrostyle i a device assuring results not even attempted.

in any other form of piano-player. It is this continued insistence upon the impotance of the Metrostyle on the part of the world's greatest musicians which has led the Aeolian Company to incorporate it in all Pianolas the $250 model as well as the $300 style. From Grove's Dictionary of Musie and Musicians nr Francisco Cal. Syrup of Figs is for sale by The full name of the company Co. is always printed package.

Price Fifty Cents Jaachlm, Joseph, the greatest of living violin pUiyers In. his present sphere of action, Joachim's beneficent influence, encouraging what is true and earnest, ant disregarding, and, if necessary, opposing what is empty, mean and superficial in music, can hardly be too highly estimated. Ifr will readily be believed that in addition to the uni. versa! admiration of the musical world, numerous marks of distino tion, orders of knigtithood from German and other sovereign princes, and honorary degrees have been conferred upon Joachim. From the University of Cambridge he received the honorary degree of Doctor of Misic on the 8th of March, 1877.

No artist ever sought after such things, no anist better deserved the.n. TIic AEOLIAN COMPANY, Aeolian 'Siffi SCORES OF PERSONS IN PERIL Police Will Try to Fix Blame on Con; tractors at Work on the Old Times Building. All Graveaend is ia mourning to-day over the death of John Bateman. who was killed yesterday afternoon while standing in front of the old Times Building at Nassau street and Park row. Manhattan.

The news of his death spread all over the former town and every resident who enjoyed his acquaintance was deeply grieved. The beam which struck Mr. Bateman was a heavy affair and It made a large hole in the sidewalk after it struck the aged man. It appears that there were three firms of contractors at work making alterations in th.e Masons and carpenters were busy all ovor the building and the coroner will have a difficult time in placing tho The structure Was formerly a twelve story building, but the contractors are busy raising it to fifteen stories. As a protection to tho pedestrians along Park row the contractors put up heavy bridges and scaffoldings on all three sides of the building.

They did not protect, however, yesterday when the huge beam fell. Tho beam was up on the twelfth story ami weighed about 500 pounds. The police have not as yet learned just what started the beam falling, but It is said that the hammering of several carpenters on the floor below larred the big piece of steel and started It going on Its i It slipped from the wall and passed between two carpenters who were on the floor below. It missed them by a few inches. In falling tho beam struck the coping on the tenth story of tho American Tract Society Building opposite and then dropped straight to the Mr.

Bateman was just at that time passing the corner of Nassau street o.nd Park row, going in the direction of the bridge. There were others passing at the time and sonio of them were warned by the many bits of lumber that were Hying about, having been knocked from their fastenings by the huge steel The beam struck tho aged man on tho back of the head and he fell to the ground. Several other people who were close to, Mr. Bateman were knocked to the ground by the shock caused by the beam couiftig in contact with the sidewalk. The people, fearing that the entire upper part of the building was about to tall down upon them, rushed in every direction, away trom the scene.

The drivers of vehicles in Park row, who saw the beam in its flight through the air, turned their backs on the building, evidently realizing Just what was about to happen. When the beam struck and the police and other men cleared a space on the sidewalk, body of Mr. Bateman was seen stretched upon the sidewalk, his head banging over the His snow white beard' was tinged with blood and when a man wont to lift him up he soon saw that lile bad do- parted. Patrolman fnnnniiixhlnn RiimmnnpH on ambulance from the Hudson Street Hospital and the body of the old man was carried Into a nearby drug store. The crowd commenced to grow to Buch an alarming extent that Captain Hodgins of the Oak street station sent out the reserves to keep a clear space in iront of the Dullding.

It was several hours before Mr. Bateman was identified. 'The police say there were no cards Imp. arlrirottBAK iM lil.iinlrnls on! Ihuu uii-a at a loss to find out the dead man was. It was noticed (hat" his clothing was new and tho tag on the new overcoat showed that tho garment had been purchased at a well known department store.

The store is in this borough, and when the police made Inquiries, they learned who the dead man was. Then the police of this borough wera notified and Identity was soon established. The body was viewed by Mr. Bateman's only son, Henry M. Bateman and Abraham Stlllwell, Gravesend's oldest resident, and then removed to his late home on Harway avenue, near Twenty-fifth avenue, Gravesend Beach.

Henry Bateman was at home when the telephone rang and he answered It. Then it was that he learned of his father's death. Mr. Stlllwell is an undertaker and Mr. Bateman called him up right away and togother they went to Manhattan and took charge of the body.

The deceased was in his eighty-second year. He was born In England and went to the former town of Gravesend in 186K. He was a tinsmith, it is said, but retired after ho had grown rich. His borne on Harway avenue, overlooking Graveseml was one the finest residences In the former town. Ho was a member of tho old Fishermen's Church on Cropsey lane, and was one of the members who succeeded by hard work In securing a new structure at Bay Thirty-fifth street and Cropsey avenue.

He was superintendent of the Sunday school for years and was universally well liked. He gave freely to the church, and at the fiftieth anniversary held a few weeks ago, he was prosent and contributed a larpo amount Mr. Bateman Is survived by wi.low and a son. It Is feared that iho death of the aged wan will have a serious effect upon his wife, as she is not in the best of health. It was said at the house this morning that no arrangements have been made for the funeral.

The police in Manhattan made several arrests after the accident; Tho men nrrrstd aro Thomas Kelly, of 15(1 Court street foreman of the Iron workers; Miller another foreman for a firm which has a contract: Georgo Baldwin, of 31 Ormond place this borough, and Jsnnc I.ozler, both of in Lemon street, Newark.

METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE. Tho value of Campauarl to the Metropolitan Opera Company was strikingly shown last night by his absence from the cast of "Tho Marriage of Figaro." There has not been for years so brilliant a representative of the hero of this opera nutl of Rossini's "Barber of Seville" as tho vivacious little Italian who sang Mozart as If he were born to It. Now that he has gone Jlr. Conricd finds It impossible to replace him. Robert Bluss, an excellent bass, undertook the task last night and failed as badly as a competent and conscientious artist can fall when woiully miscast.

Blass sang the music accurately and with good tone, hut the effect was like a piano siudeut playing Mendelssohn's "Spinning Song" beloro she hns got it up to time. Anhlo from the lack of gay-ety and dash in the central figure the performance was very good which Is like np-plyiug that phriifio to a performance of "Hamlet" with Hamlet left out. It Is something to know that two brilliant prima donnas, like Eames and Scmbrlch, singing their host, cannot carry uu opera to success iu star loving' New York. Their work last night sparkled and rippled nnd was simply a Joy to the ear. Uellu Alten, who fang Cherubino, was excellent and won a deserved encore lor singing ''Vol cho Sapetc." She may not altogether replace Krlfzl Scheff, who in tho of Cherubino was a pillar of strength as well as of grace, but Miss Alten is a very agreeable singer.

The other men In the cast were acceptable and Nahan Krunko led tho orchestra so well that one wished to bear hlin Willi a Figaro who could keep up. Friday nlKbt "La lilo-conda" will be repealed and on Saturday afternoon the first performance of "Dio Mcistersiniier" will be given. HOLDUPS FREQUENT IN FLUSHING Three Have Occurred Since Sundny Night Much Alarm Felt. to the Eagle.) Flushing, December 1 The hold-up men who terrorized this place a yenr seemed to have resumed operations. On Saturday night In Jamaica avenue, near Hall, Miss Mary Hyan, a domestic at tho hall, was attacked.

She had been In Manhattan and reniriied late. When near Franklin place she wiu suddenly seized by a masked man who demanded money. Miss Kyan shouted Police," and I.ouiH llenze, of 1-4 Forest avenue, who whs In the next street run to her aid. The hold-' up man saw him coming, released hi hold on i Miss Kyan and ran away through Franklin place. Mr.

Henzo shouted for police, but. none responded. On Sunday night Emil Ey, a retired saloonkeeper, wns held up at the corner of Slate and Furringion street and an unsuccessful attempt wus mado to rob him of $20. Monday morning Jacob Ilaidihouse, a resident of Matihuttan, while passing along Jamaica avenue, m-ar Fognrty's Docusi Lawn Dairy, was held up nnd robbed of his v.ateh and chain and In cash. No arresla have be made by the police.

Houses, at One 1 1 of Which They Laid Covers and Dined. POLICE DO NOT MOLEST THEM. Sleuths Are Walking Around Mysteriously and the Thieves Pay No Attention to hem. Tho police In Bath Beach arc sftll trying to locate tho burglars who have been working in that precinct for tho past two yeai'3 with great success, but they have been tin-able to make any arrests. Wlillo the sleuths are walking around, tho burglars are skillfully doing their work.

It was learned today that they broko into flvo more houses In the Dyker Heights section of the precinct on Tuesday night, after they had been dolug as they pleased in Buy Sixteenth and Bay Fourteenth streets, and got away with considerable money and clothing. The vic tims In Ilj'kor Heights are ulurmcd and aro at a loss what to do to prevent the burglars from breaking in and taking everything they can lay their hands on. The residence of Henry Aschcr, ou Thirteenth avenue, near Elghty-fltth street, on tho Bath Beach side of tho avenue, was forced open some time during tho night and and clothing were taken. The Osborn home, on Eighty-fifth slrect, near Thirteenth avenue, wus nest visited and overcoats and othor articles of wearing apparel were removed. The burglars did their work well and wero not disturbed by cither the occupants of the house or the police.

The Phillips residence on Elghty-flflli street, directly In tho rear of the Dyker Heights clubhouse, was visile ci during the same night and a quantity of clothing was stolen. On Eighty-fourth street, near Thirteenth avenue, is the Merrllt home. The burglars went there about 3 o'clock in tho morning of yesterday and nlmot the llrut thing they spied was a little child's bank on the mantel Th bank did not have a great amount of money In it, but that mado very llrtle difference to the burglurs. They took tho contents. Then tiiey went to the kiti hi and spread tho table.

They took out thu edibles lhat were stored in the Ice box and had a uicul. Thty also found borne tollies of beer and, from tho appearances of things tho following morning, they must have hud a flue time. Tho burglars must also huvc l.ud a ludder, as they entered hi; house by a hall window, which 1 at leuu ten feet from thu ground. Then they went over to tho Elliott residence, on Thirteenth avenue, near KlKhty-flfth Blrcet, und got awuy with a overcoat, aceordlni? to tho residents.

Veteran Stage Driver Alleges He Was Swindled and Begins a Suit. In the Fifth District Court, before Justice Furgueseh, nejet.

Tuesday morning, William Cappel, the pioneer stage driver of Coney Island, will bo the plaintiff in an action brought aguinst an Italian named Eduardo Pellegrln, of Coney Island, to recover either a horse or $50. It makes very little difference to Cappel which he gets, as he says he wants satisfaction. The action is the result of horse trading last July. Cappel. who is considered well to do, has a big stable on West fSignth street, Coney iBland, and he has several hacks.

There were a half-dozen 'horses in the barn last summer, and one of them was a good-looking sorrel. Pelligriu had a black horse, which be vulucd at $0, and one day be met Cappel and made a trade. Cappel considered his Borrel to bo worth at least $K0, and the result was that Pelicgrin gave his horse and t'S: for the sorrel. Some days afterward he traded the sorrel for another horse. In the meantime Frank Ilciasco, of 482 Carroll street, was making a still hunt for his black horse, which was stolen last summer.

He reported tho loss to the police, and they saw Cappel driving a black horse along Surf avenue one afternoon, which closely resembled the missing animal. Delasco was com-m'tniiated with, and he went to Coney Inland and identified the black horso Cap-pel hud as his property. Tho police gave the horse to Bolmico, and all that Oappel got was a receipt from the policemen, ANOTHER KEHOE APPEARS And Senator Isn't Quite Sure as to His Leadership in Ninth D. There is a Box and Cox rivalry among the Kchoes for political honors In the Ninth Assembly District. As everybody knows, James Kehoe of 108 I'loneer street, waa elected Senator from tho Fifth District, which includes the Ninth Assembly, by 6.60Q u'a-raluy, week ago.

I be (Senator-fleet thought he was chosen a member of the Democratic County Committee, too. and relying on his supposed election, was preparing to become execuiive committeeman aud leader of the district. But to-day at Jefferson Hall appturt'tl James Kehoo. of Eighteenth strcot, alaa ia the Ninth District, wearing diamonds and a silk hat that outshono thu Senator's. The new Mr.

Kehoe in a buHiness Uks way Introduced himself as member of tho county coinmitteo recently elected from tho Ninth District. Secretary David J. Hogan of the executive committee, and Sergeanl-at-arms Chris billion looked the new hi. Ivnl over. "That ain't Jimmy Kehoe, the Senator," Mr.

Dalton said. The sergcant-at-arms knows every Democrat that amounts to anything from Grcenpolnt to Oowanus. The newcomer laid no claim to the toga which will adorn his namesake after January 1, but Insisted that he had been elected to the County Committee. After his departure the Senator came In. He had hcurd of a rival Kehoe.

usurping his honors and prerogatives, and to make sure that there should be no difficulty about his own election as Senator sent for tho official eour.t. It showed his triumphant election by "1 was elected." the Senator said, "not only to the Senate, but to' tho County Committee. What rlcht has ibis man from CJo.v-nnits to come along ami claim my seat? I live at 1U8 I'loneer street In the Twelfth Ward."
