Miss Nellie O'Hiire. a young and pretty girl, who has many Brooklyn frtctuK was to have been married in St. John t'hureli, Lewis and Wlllougliby avenues, on Basior Sunday, to Frederick M. Kahle. cashier the Western Passenger Assoeiatlon.

and 't was expected that there would be a large attendance of Invited guests. The wedding, however did not take place for the reason that the man. who would have been groom, dlFuppoarcd about a month aRo leaving -Miss O'Hare tc wonder what was tho matter. Miss O'Hare has been living with relatives at 4004 Third avenue. Manhattan, but she was seen to-day, by a reporter at her temporary home in the Hill section of Urooklyn.

She Insisted that the address be kept secret and was disinclined at lirst to iiivu any Information. She said that, she heard yesterday that Mr. Kahle was in Chicago nnd had nrliten to a friend in Brooklyn to that effect. When asked if the wedding would take place In the near future her black eyes snapped as she answered: "No; there will be nothing of the kind until I have had an explana- don't think (hat he could have Bono off nnd married some one else?" "Oh my no." said Miss O'Hare. "I dnn believe anything of that kind.

I have heard that he went to Chicago, but that was a month ago." "What church was it that you were to have been married In?" inquired the reporter. "St. John's Church." answered Miss O'Hare. Now there are three atholle churches in Brooklyn bearing the name of St John, St. John's Chapel.

Clermont and Greene avenues; St. John the Baptist, Lewis and Willonghby avenues, and St. John Ihe Evangelist, Twenty-first street near Fifth avenue. Miss O'Hare did not seem to remember which church it was. but she thought it was that or St.

John the Baptist. She said she did not wish any publicity In the matter. "I want, she added, "to forget It." CONGRESS ALONE CAN ACT.

and under ordinary circumstances would make Drescher's candidacy an easy one. Senators Charles Cooper and Frank J. Gardner are avowed candidates for re-election. The complaint is heard here that the Interests of Kings County have been to make Gardner "safe." The central part of Brooklyn hns been carved up so as to secure a pluralUy in ordinary limes of something like 4.500, The district is to take in the Republican territory along the Park Slope, the Twentieth Ward, a small part of the Eleventh and the Seventh, and a part of the Nineteenth wards. Th.it will throw ex-Senator Rudolph c.

Fuller in with PoBtmasler Roberts, but it is declared that the effect will not be to sacrifice Fuller but to make him stronger. Senator Cooper is to have less of the Tweniy-lhird Ward, but will a part of Ihe Twenty-fifth and the whole of the Twenty-fourth so that be ulso will be "safe." Ex-Lieutenant Governor Woodruff Is coming here to-morrow to demonstrate to the committee on apportionment that his scheme iB all right. In connection with the retirement of Senator Dreselier, Assemblyman Olto G. Foelker announced to-day that he would be a Can didate for Drescher's seat.

CITY BUYS ATHLETIC FIELD. $100,000 Paid for Fine Tract at Hal-lett's Point, Astoria, for Manhattan Fast Side Boys, The City of New York has acquired, at Hallett's Point, Astoria, for $100,000, a plot of about three and a half aeres, with a frontage of 650 feet on the East River and all rightg to shore front and land under water, for the athletic field for the boys of the East Side of Manhattan. The property was bought of the Halsey Realty Company and title was passed yesterday. The plot is what Is known as the Old Fort Stevens property, and 1b historic as the place where Washington crossed the river on his way to White Plains after the disastrous battle of Long Island.

It is more widely known as the spot oppo site where the great Hell Gate blast took placa years or more ago, when several acres of rock were torn from the bed of the river. The lose rock dredged from the river bottom was piled up on this point, and the government has maintained a light house there for many years, borne time ago a very powerful electric light was placed in it, but this was confusing and blinding to mariners. It was removed. The plot has a frontage of 49a foet on the west side of Munson street and 310 feet on the north side of Orchard street. It is only two blocks from the Street Astoria Ferry, and the boys will be brought over from Manhattan in that way.

General Geo. W. Wingate. who has charge of the undertaking, says all cleared and the work of laying out race trackB and other athletic fields and the necessary buildings will be begun at once. The necessary stands and buildings and tracks will probably be completed before the end of the present school year.

CONVENTION OF D. A. President General McLean Welcomes Delegates Addresses by Several Speakers, Washington, April 17 Mrs. Donald Mc Lean, president-general of the Daughters of the American Revolution, called the second day's meeting of thut organization's national congress to order to-day In Continental Memorial Hall, with more than 1,000 members of the order in attendance. The Rov.

Roland Cotton Smith, pastor of St. John's Episcopal Church, of this city, pronounced the invoca tion. After the singing of "Tho Star Spangled Banner," by Mrs. Bertha Lincoln Eus-tls, of Dubuque, Mrs. McLean made a brief address of welcome to delegates, who were late In arriving.

Mrs. -Robert M. Park, vice-president- general from Georgia, was called to tho chair, while Mrs. McLean made her annual report. The president-general reviewed her ihaJ grorlsfnavy HEARST PEOPLE PROPOSE TO OUST OFFICE HOLDERS Want to Amend the Constitution and Put Everybody Out of Place.

VENGEANCE AGAINST ODELL. Parsons Men Have Bill to Remove Aque. duct Commissioners From Office. (Special to the Eagle.) Albany, April 17 In anticipation of their campaign next fall, the Hearst people propose to make a clean Bweep of the present state office holders, and Assemblyman Campbell of New York, the leader of the Hearst group, has been instructed to introduce a concurrent resolution amending the Constitution so ai to eliminate from the Constituttou the requirement that appointments shall be made on examination only and according to merit. Mr.

Campbell will introduce One resolution to-day. If twice passed and approved by the people, everybody now serving the atate could be removed from office. The appetite of the Municipal Ownership men is hard to satisfy, and if Hearst wins, it is proposed that every one of them shall have a job. There is not much probability that the amendment will pass at this session or the next. The Parsons men In New York County are breathing revenge against the Odell men because of the recent recapture of the New York County Republican Committee by Odell.

Their plans for revenge include the removal from office ot the Aqueduct commissioners, two of whom are Odell men and two Tammany adherents. The bill has been drawn by Assemblyman Prentice, who iB in President Parsons confidence. It repeals the law under which the commission was appointed and removes them from office June 1. Their powers are transferred to the Commissioner of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity. The commissioners who would be legislated out of office are: William W.

Ten Eyck and John P. Win- dolph, Republicans; and John F. Cowan and John J. Ryan, Democrats. They draw salaries of $5,000 a year each, and their terms of oflice are noht limited.

It Is said that It will require at least three years more to complete their work in course of construction. Ton Eyck and Windolph are district leaders and have lately been standing with Odell. They attended the conference at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last night, at which twenty-three of the thirty-six leaders were lined up lor the Odell plan of reapportionment, i The bill has not much of a chance of passage. The Suffolk County representatives here are awaiting the action of the Republicaa County Committee before indorsing any one. The committee meets on Thursday of this week and will take action then.

At this distance it looks as if the leaders were Wil-lard H. Baylis, of Huntington, and Timothy Guflln, of Rlverhead, who is called by some the Nestor of the Suffolk County bar. The other candidates are Livingston Smith, of Smithtown; Ellott J. Smith, of Isllp; Herbert W. Fordham, of Greenport.

and Will-lam G. Floyd, of Babylon. District Attorney George H. Furman Is not an avowed candidate. Assemblyman Hubbs Is working hard for a man from his district.

When Senator Cooper's bill for the acquisition of ferries came up In the Senate tliii morning. Senator Jacob Marks again attacked it and offered amendments taking out the feature which provides for a preliminary agreement between any ferry company and a city and also the clause which provides for the taking of all the lines of a company when one is to be acquired. At the suggestion of Senator White, chairman of the Cities Committee, the bill was allowed to go over until to-morrow. Senator Cooper proposes to press it then. He stated that he desired only what Is fair and would stand for no bill which gave the companies an undue advantage.

The Gardner bill changing the site of tho proposed astronomical observatory of the Brooklyn Institute, passed the Senate to day. The Assembly last night passed the trust company reserve bill In the form desired by Senator Frank J. Gardner. There has been quite a controversy between the two houses over this Issue, tho Assembly standing against allowing municipal bonds as a part of the reserve. As the measure now stands, trust companies must maintain a reserve like banks of 15 per of which 6 per cent, shall be in cash: 5 per cent, in bank, and 5 per cent.

In bonds of cities of the first and second class. The bill now goes to tho Governor. Senator McCarren's bill permitting police captains and sergeants to release persons ai rested for minor offenses on thnlr own recognizance has passed both houses and hns gone to the Governor. It Is aimed at tho straw ball Industry and Is considered an Important reform. His bill limiting the time during which persons claiming to be damaged by flood or otherwise may file claims against the Cltv of New York Is In the hands of the Mayor.

This Is an outgrowth of tho sewer scandals In Brooklyn nd is aimed at a certain class of lawyers. The corrupt practices bill reported by the committee on judiciary was passed this afternoon after a debate lasting nearly two hours. Various amendments. Including one by Mr. Walnwright, taking out the limitations, were defeated.

The vote on final pas-sago was unanimous. The Carpenter bill to dlvtde the Second Judicial District is on to-day's calendar In the Assembly on second reading, but It is b-rdly probable that It will be reached until nlrht. Timothy V. Woodruff of Urooklyn has amnunced his unfaltering opposition to the measure and the Brooklyn Kpunilcans will vole aei'nst it with the Suffolk County rep resentatives. The opinion prevails that this will not avail and that the bill will be passed.

The Kings County machine awoke Just i little too late to have their opposition count. SENATOR DRESCHER TO RETIRE. Assemblyman Foelker Announces That He Will Be a Candidate for the Place.

The anxiety nnd alarm for the safety of their homes that has been aroused among the rerldenia of those sections of I'latbiish which hnvn for months experienced depredations of burglars, have very naturally resulted In the expression of wirioUB theories which are, virtually, an attempt to explain the failure on tho part of the police to apprehend the perpetrators. The contensus of these opinions I-. a very Interesting one and there exists a widespread and growing belief that the hypothesis set forth by will in toe end be found to be the correct explanation of tho perilous situation which now confronts the householders of that part of the borough. The fact that tho local police place niiiih confidence lu the theory has Induced many, who at lirst placed little credulity In It, to finally admit that It seems to be the most prolialde explanation. Tho police of til- and Parkville precinct have long found it necessary lo keep un eye on noire than a few youthi and young men of liieir neighborhoods, who, us tar as can be leu nn d.

never work, but always havu lots ot money to spend at saloon bars The presence of such young fellows Is pnrlUularly noticeable in the I'lathush precinct. Many of (ho old-time Klutbiislt policemen know these, fellows anil could tuniish Mm of them. Hut. added lo this, there exists a belief among lennln Flnlhuxh residents, who have lived In that part of tho borough a siitlleient length of lime to become well aeiiualtlteil with lis conditions and with local happenings that seem lo have received less attention from the police than tneir i-orloui-ucss warranted, that these tame young Icllows have so ingratiated themselves with some members of Ihe police force of that precinct that they can do with Impunity what might lead lo their speedy arrest elsewhere. Several well known residents have gone so far as to assert that these young bllows have acquired a "pull" with tho local members of Hie department, ami.

uiubT such protection, have even resorted to acts of a criminal nature. It is mainly from such a theory tnat ihere has resulted a general opinion that these youths and young men are responsible tor many of tho recent burglaries In Klnt-bush. Those who have expressed them-stlves upon Hie subject admit the extreme seriousness nf their charge, but slate that they are driven to the theory becauso cf the conilnuel failure of the police to apprehend the burglars. "The police are either laboring under ihe impression that the burglaries are not tho work of locul cracksmen, or they are deliberately shutting their eyes to very apparent conclusions." said a I'lntbusli resident to-day. This theory that the police ure aware nf criminal doings on the part of local young men is not so comprehensive to Intl-ninie that the heads nf ihe lo.nl force are alio In league with ihe alleged young criminals.
