SCIENTIFIC DISTILLATION AND THOROUGH AGING rumc Mora ft C. H. IS Wllliut -te-' NO HOYER WEDDING YET License Taken Out, All Right; Orange Blossoms Later. Error Caused Many Calls of Congratulation Double Ceremony for September. There were no wedding bells yesterday for John H.

Hoyer, "pay clerk at the navy yard, who secured a marriage license to wed Mrs. Alberttne Hoyer of 416 Thirty-sixth street. Hoyer and his bride-to-be decided to postpone the wedding for two months. The Eagle announced that the couple were married under a misapprehension due to the Issuance of the marriage license. Mrs.

Hoyer's daughter. Miss Albertine, a stenographer, is to be married In Sep tember, and It occurred to both mother and daughter that It would be a good idea to have a big double wedding In the house on Thirty-sixth street, which is owned by Mrs. Hoyer. This Is how the wedding happened to be put off. Mrs.

Hoyer is 51 years of age and Mr. Hoyer acknowledges that he is 65. Mrs. Hoyer is the widow of her prospective husband's brother, who died three years ago. Hoyer himself has been married before, his first wife being a widow.

He has two stepsons. Since the death of her first husband. Mrs. Hoyer has lived with her daughter and a sister In most comfortable circumstances, and John H. Hoyer has been living In the same house.

An attachment for his brother's widow sprang up and he proposed and was accepted. Last night the Hoyer home was be sieged with visitors, who came to con gratulate the happy pair. Many of them brought presents, and the rush of visitors was so great that the house was filled to Its utmost capacity. Mrs. Hoyer told them she was not married yet, but would be soon.

The Hoyer home is being handsomely decorated In honor ot the coming nup tials, and it is planned to make the double wedding one of the most memorable events that South Brooklyn has seen In some time. The exact date of the wedding has not yet been fully decided upon, but It will probably be some time In September. JOHN J. BRENNAN RETURNS. Missing Sewer Department Employe at His Home in Lynbrook Apparently Drugged and Lynbrook, L.

July 15 John J. Bren- nan, who had been missing from his home on LynbroJk avenue since Thursday, July 1, returned unannounced on Sunday evening. When Mr. Brennan entered his home he acted strangely and did not appear to recognize anybody, but seemed to realize that he was where he belonged. A physician was summond, in whose charge Mr.

Brennan was placed. The physician reported that the man acted as if under the Influence of chloral. After several hours hard work he was aroused sufficiently to recognize those about him and his whereabouts. He does not remember where he spent the time during his absence, only stating that he entered some hotel for a drink and that Is the last he remembers. He has a faint recollection of being confined in a room for several days, but does not know where.

At the time of his disappearance he had his month's salary, $150, In his pocket, but when he arrived home he was practically penniless.

Scores of Marching Clubs Move Through Streets of Los Angeles. i Los Angeles, July 15. With many gorgeous floats in lines, scores of marching Elks clubs and drill moved today through the streets of Lob Angeles. The parade was viewed by what was said to be the largest crowd ever gathered here. The marchers passed a mass of flags and bunting and fraternal decorations that fronted all the business houses and swung across the thoroughfares.

The pageant was more than two miles in length. The parade began to move at 10 o'clock. At the head of each of the twelve 1-, visions was a band and there were floats representing the lodges of California and special features. Arizona lodges had at their head a band of Indian musicians from the Indian schools of Arizona. Spokane lodge members wore costumes to represent soldiers cf the Continental army and behind them they dragged old fashioned cannon used by Washington's army in the Revolution.

The four lodges of Riverside, Pomona, San Bernardino and Redlands marched together in orange colored uniforms. Ban Pedro, had a full rigged ship manned by sailors in uniform, typifying the harbor city. BOORAEM PLANS INSPECTION. New Commissioner to Look Over All Precincts Next Week.

Seventh avenue and Greenwich street Subway Lexington avenue Subway Third avenue Subway Macomb's Dam and Je rome avenue Elevated Manhattan Bridge spur (Canal street-Flatbush avenue) Subway Broadway (Union tc Moving Times square) Platform Interterminal Belt Line, Subway Freight Belt Line Subway An Inventory of "Stock" in the Subway Situation. Although the Public Service Commission is to sit all summer, proceeding with business as usual, a point haB now been reached where those interested in transit affairs are pausing to "take Inventory." They are reviewing the events of the last six months for the purpose of obtaining a clear understanding of progress made and of ascertaining precisely what the present situation 1b. Excluding the Interbprough'B proposition to third-track portions of Its Second, Third and Ninth avenues elevated roads, there are now before the Public Service Commission proposals to build eighteen now subway or elevated railroads In this city.

Of the suggested routes, ten have already been approved by both the commission and the Board of Estimate, and bids for their construction and operation will be advertised in the early fall. In the case of one of these ten roads the Fourth avenue Bubway In this borough contracts have already been awarded, and work would now be In progress, had not the Improvement been held up by a taxpayer's injunction secured at the suggestion of Controller Metz. The remaining eight of the eighteen proposed new lines are now under con sideration by the Public Service Commission. As they involve, either wholly or in part, routes which have not been laid out by the commission, their desirability from a public standpoint must first be determined by the commission. Assuming the decisions in these cases to be favorable, the Board of Estimate must also approve the routes before forms of contracts can be prepared, and bids for construction end operation invited.

It' is the intention of the commission to pass on these propositions this summer, and submit their findings to the Board of Estimate at Its first autumn meeting about the middle of September-Four Companies Involved in the Pending Propositions. Generally speaking, four companies are involved in the proposals submitted for the eighteen new routes. For one system, extending from the Bronx to Coney Island, the Bradley-Gaffney-Steers Company has signified Its intention of bidding. For another system, not so comprehensive, the Interborough Rapid Transit Company has asked permission to bid. The Amsterdam Company has proposed the so-called belt line routes, while a syndicate of Chicago capitalists is anxious to construct a moving platform under Broadway In Manhattan.

It should always be remembered, however, that except In the case of extensions to existing lines, the law requires that all routes, both those already approved and those to be approved, must be offered at publlo auction. All bids must be accepted and the contracts awarded to the lowest responsible bidders, so that it by no means follows that a corporation which suggests a route, or indicates its intention to bid for certain routes, will in the end get the contracts. Of the routes thus far approved and bids for which are to be invited In the early fall, that which is regarded by the Public Service Commission as by far the most Important is the Broadway-Lexington avenue route in Manhattan. The building of this trunk line subway will Involve an expenditure or about The road begins at the Battery, runs north under Church street and Broadway to Tenth street, and then crosses under private property to Lexington avenue under which street it runs northward to the Harlem River. Crossing the Harlem in a tunnel it proceeds by subway to One Hundred and Forty-ninth street.

It is to be a four-track road, under Lexington avenue, being constructed on the double deck system. Some Features of the Proposed Routes As a part of, or rather an extension to, the Broadway-Lexington avenue subway are two elevated lines in the Bronx. One of these is to run up Jerome avenue to Woodlawn Cemetery, while the other Is to follow the Southern Boulevard and Westchester avenue to Pelham Bay Park. Ten million dollars each is the estimated cost of their construction. What might property be regarded as another part of the Broadway-Lexington avenue subway and which will undoubtedly be operated as a part of it, Is what is known as the Canal street crosstown lines.

This ntibway begins at the Center street tunnel, now under construction In Manhattan, and runs westerly under Canal street to the North I River where It ends in the form of a "loop." The estimated cost of this line is All these important new transit routes, Involving a total estimated expenditure of some $85,000,000. the Bradley, Gaffney, Steers Company has ollered to build, equip and operate on the "Indeterminate franchise plan," title in the roads to be vested in the city from the very start. What is popularly known as the Mc-1 Adoo extension is a subway running from I Herald square, Manhattan, to the Grand I Central Station. After encountering bit-1 Douglass Co. Escaped; Contractors Who Did Real Work Scaled Down.

CITY TIME SHEETS IGNORED. Mitchel Springs a Surprise He Has Them for Use Work at the Coler Investigation. John Purroy Mitchel. commissioner of accounts, haB concluded his investlga tlon of the scandal growing out of tenv porary repairs to the Kings County Court House after the Are in February 1908. Before he finished, Commissioner Mitchel put on the record testimony showing that Douglass who secured the contract from Borough President Coler, was a firm very high In the favor of the borough administration.

Douglass was the firm that didn't have its bill cut, while other contractors on the same job had their bills slashed terribly. In fact, Douglass Co. did the slashing, and was supported by the administration in the work of cutting bills. If Douglass So Co. hadn't had the bills of other contractors cut down there wouldn't have been money enough to pay Douglass Co.

all that It wanted and claimed. The appropriation for the emergency lob was only $10,000, and the bills of the contractors who made the repairs totaled almost that figure. Douglass Co. had put' In a bill for over $4,000, and the aggregate of bills was considerably above the appropriation. Somebody's bill had to be cut, but that somebody wasn't Douglass Co.

That concern got all the money It claimed and got ten per cent, additional of the cost of the work done by other contractors. Assistant Engineer Walter R. Grif fiths, of the bureau of public buildings and officeB. testified that if some of the bills hadn't been cut the total would have come within the appropriation. The so-called sub-contractors the contrac tors other than Douglass given to understand that fact.

In cutting the bills the time of the contractors' workmen was not accepted as kept by the city's own timekeeper, but the time sheets of Douglass timekeeper were accepted. In defending his office. Superintendent Joseph M. Lawrence, of the bureau ol public buildings, declared: "The time was kept by John W. pib-bons, one of the most conscientious and most experienced Inspectors In the bureau of public buildings and offices, who did not leave the Job while the work was going on, but got what sleep he could In a chair in the court house." However, it appeared from the evidence brought out by Commissioner Mitchel that the time as kept by the conscientious inspector was not accepted, but was ignored, while the time sheets of Douglass Co.

were accepted not only for their own workmen, but for the laborers and workmen ot other contractors. Engineer Griffiths, who appeared to be very careful In his efforts to tell a straightforward, accurate story, admitted that the time sheets of Douglass Co. had never been compared with the time sheets of Inspector Gibbons. AftBf Mr. Griffiths admitted that Gibbons' time reports were not used In passing on the bills, Commissioner Mitchel attempted to show that If the reports of the "city's own Inspector had been used, the overcharge In the bills would have been made plain.

He showed from Douglass Co. bill that In one Item there was a charge for 2,682 hours of work In sweeping and balling out water. This work began some time on Friday night, and Engineer GriflUths thought it was finished some time on Saturday night. Commissioner Mitchel wanted to know how 53 men could get in 2,682 hours work in twenty-four hours. "Would you be surprised to learn that Inspector Gibbons credited Contractor Ryan with only 1,974 hours of work, whereas he was allowed 2,752 hours?" was one question to Mr.

Griffiths. Mr. Griffiths said he had not been able to find the Gibbons time sheets, as Gibbons had died some months after the fire. Commissioner Mitchel sprung a surprise by producing the original time book as kent by Gibbons. Mr.

Griffiths said that was the first time he ever saw it. When Mr. Mitchel asked why Mr. Griffiths had approved Douglass bill, Mr. Griffiths said: "I believed Douglass bill was a fair one and I signed It.

It was lm possible to tell lust the number of hours that any one worked as the utmost confusion prevailed after the fire. Some men were at work even while the fire was In progress." Edward RIordan, en assistant engineer In the Department of Finance, who passed on the bills of Douglass Co. after they were approved by the Bureau of Public Buildings and office of the Borough of Brooklyn, testified that he understood from Engineer Griffiths that the time charges specified In the bills were from the city Inspector In charge of the work end not the time charges of the contractor doing the work. He could not soy If Mr. Griffiths told him outright that the charges were from Inspector Gibbons' time book, but he' was given that Impression.

"Did you know," asked Commissioner Mitchel, "when you approved-thc b'll that two contractors were allowed in the bill $3 a day for their services, when you allowed them ten per cent, commission on the contracts?" "I did not," responded the witness. W. H. Roberts, also an engineer in the Department of Finance, who passed on the bills after Riordan. was called and said that Riordan told him the bills were drawn from the time kept by the city Inspector.

He was asked if he ever had occasion to find fault with the bills from Brooklyn, and he replied that he occasionally had found it necessary to investigate some of them, but not within the past few years. ENTIRE BLOCK MENACED. Bad Fire at Ozone Park Well Handled by Volunteers. The volunteer firemen of the Woodha-ven department, fought a bad blaze In a one story frame stable at 18 Lawn avenue, Ozone Park, about 9 o'clock last night, that threatened to wipe out an entire block. The lire extended to a two story frame dwelling owned and occupied by Annie Tora.

and to an Ice factory on Ocean avenue, slightly damaging the side of tho latter building. The total damage Is said to be in the neighborhood of about $1,500. EAGLE PARTY AT RIVERSIDE. Riverside, July 15 The Eagle excursion party, on the way to the Seattle Exposition, arrived at the Glenwood Hotel, Riverside, at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Yesterday morning was spent at Redlands, with a drive through Smiley Heights.

The members of the party are delighted with the Glen-weod, which is one of the most beautiful hotels visited by them. The Antlers, at Colorado Springs, is picturesque; the El Tovar, at Grand Cot.yon, Is quaint. In keeping with its surroundings, and the service is good but the Glenwood. with its Spanish architecture, real mission furnishings and old collections, ranks among the finest places In the Wtst. The members of the party want to stay here a week, but they must be satisfied with a ride about town in touring cars, as to-morrow they have to leave for Los Angeles.

Probably Weapon With Which Aged Verity Couple Were Killed. CRIME IS BEING PROBED, Peter Backlavitch Is Now Charged With Murder in Second Degree Examination Still Under Way. (Special to the Eagle.) Patchogue, L. July 14 No new clews to the possible murderers of the aged Mr. and Mrs.

Townsend Verity In the early morning hours of last Sunday developed yesterday afternoon at the examination before Justice Losee on the charge of murder in the Becond degree lodged by Coroner Savage against Peter Backlavitch, the owner of the house In which the old folks met their death. The inquiry by Coroner Savage, which concluded late Monday afternoon, resulted In the arrest of Backlavtich on the charge of his being responsible for the death of the old couple. When the examination opened yesterday Justice Losee read the Inquisition charging Backlavitch with murdering the Veritys, and made the charge of murder in tne second degree. It was generally supposed that if held at all Backlevitch would be charged with first degree murder. Julius Fisher, one of the witnesses put upon the stand to support the district attorney's charge against Backlavitch, made a poor showing.

Fisher said that he had gotten up early Sunday morning to go Ashing at the East Lake, and that when he went to the Are he found Backlavitch outside the house partly dressed, and no one else around. Fisher said Backlavitch shook his head as if to say "No," when asked if there were any persons In the house, and that Backlavitch told him he (Backlavitch) had dropped a lamp which caused the fire. Fisher said that If he had known there were people In the house he would have had time to have gone in and taken them out. He could not, however, explain why he had left the sceno of the fire, and after being absent a short time returned again. He did not explain either why he made no attempt to enter the house to save any clothing or furniture that might be of value.

Fisher became confused In try ing to explain the approximate time, and even could not tell the name of the friend with whom he said he intended to go on the proposed early morning trip. He was a badly rattled witness at the end of his cross-examination. The other witnesses examined were Drs. Overton and Terry and Coroner Savage, who retold the result of their medical examination at the first inquiry. Dr.

Overton said. In reply to Lawyer Vunk for Backlavitch, that the condition ot the lungs of Mrs. Verity at the time of the examination by him, thirty-six hours after death, was such as to make it hard to determine whether smoke had been inhaled therein any time before. Justice Losee denied the motion of Lawyer Vunk to discharge the prisoner on the ground that nothing had been shown at the coroner's inquiry or upon the depositions presented with the in quisition connecting Backlavitch with the death of the Veritys. The court also-denied the request of Lawyer Vunk to strike out the testimony of Coroner Savage as to the bodies found being those of the Verity couple, which identity the coroner based upon Inference.

The ax with which, It is supposed, the double murder was committed was found In the. ruins of house yesterday. Backlavitch said at the coroner's Inquest that there was no ax In the house other than the one In the outside woodshed. Various reports have come forward as to suspicious persons having been seen going away from the Backlavitch's place at the time the Are was discovered by neighbors. Howard Williams, the grandson, who boarded with the Veritys and who did reach Patchogue Saturday night by reason of the train wreck at Bay Shore, has since told friends that he was expected home that night.

This substantiates Backlavitch's story that he and the old folks waited until 11 o'clock that night for young Williams. There was a strong supposition that Backlavitch had a knowledge that young Will-lams did not expect to return home that night, and thus laid plans to kill the old folks. The examination before Justice Losee is being continued to-day. DR. MARY CRAWFORD RETIRES.

Through With Ambulance Work, She Will Later Hang Out a Shingle Here. Having completed her term of service of one year and a half In the Williamsburg Hospital, Dr. Mary Merritt Crawford retired this morning to make way for Dr. Wulter Hurley, who succeeds her as house surgeon. Since her admission into the hospital Dr.

Crawford has made a host ot friends. During her term as ambulance surgeon she had a number of exciting experiences, and on several occasions her muscular development came in handy to subdue unrulyl patients, particularly those suffering from dementia.

This morning she departed for Nyack, the home of her parents, where she will take a long rest before establishing a regular practice.

Grand Central and the big trunk rail roads having their eastern terminals on the Jersey side of the North River. It is to be built with private capital. Another McAdoo extension on which work is already proceeding is a crosstown subway leading from Sixth avenue and Eighth street. Manhattan, eastwardly to the existing interborough subway under fourth avenue. The building of this underground road will also involve an out lay of about $10,000,000.

The Situation of the Fourth Avenue Subway. Crossing to Brooklyn, the Fourth ave nue Bubway has already been approved and the construction contracts awarded, but work on It has been held up as a result of an injunction Issued a year ago at the behest of Controller Metz. The Fourth avenue subway runs from the Manhattan Bridge under the Flatbush avenue extension and thence under Fourth avenue to Forty-third street. It is to be a four-track subway, constructed with city money at an estimated cost of Vi.mo.wo. in connection with this road, it is to be stated that the Bradley.

Gaffney, Steers Company has Indicated its willingness to operate It, provided it be bunt with city funds, as originally Intended. The Broadway-Lafayette avenue route, forming the Brooklyn end of the so-called bridge subway loop, has also been approved, and is to be hung up at public auction this fall. Operated In connection with the Center street tunnel in Manhattan, it will form a belt line running over the Williamsburg and Manhattan bridges, and having also a terminal under the big municipal building the city is to erect at the Manhattan end of the Brooklyn Bridge. The Center street tunnel Is now nearly completed, having been constructed by the city for about $10,000,000. The Bradley, Gaffney, Steers Company has offered to build the Broadway-Lafayette avenue route at an estimated cost of $10,0000,000.

operating the entire bridge loop system In connection with the Broadway-Lexington avenue subway In Manhattan. Two other Brooklyn subway routes, which have already been approved, and bids for the construction of which will be invited this fall, are the Coney Island and Fort Hamilton extensions to the Fourth avenue route. No offers to build these extensions have yet been received, but the Public Service Commission Is inclined to think the Bradley, Gaffney, Steers Company will submit some proposal regarding them. Otherwise, they will be built with city money. Ten million dollars Is the estimated cost of construction of the Coney Island extension, while it Is figured the Fort Hamilton extension can probably be built for about $7,000,000.

Many Forms of Contracts Being Prepared. Acting under directions from the Board of Estimate, the Public Service Commission for all these approved routes is drawing a wide variety of forms of contracts. It will Invite bids for city construction, for city construction and private operation, for private construction and for private construction and private Operation. The offers deemed most advantageous to the city will be selected from the various bids submitted, proper regara to me law, ot course, being had. Of the eight suggested, but thus far un.

approved, routes, the great majority has been submitted by the Interborough. That company has proposed a four-track subway extending from Times square south under Seventh avenue and Varlck street to Canal and West Broadway.Frora that point it would build a two-track subway eastward under Canal street, crossing Manhattan bridge and running under the Flatbush avenue extension to Novins street, where It would connect with the present Fulton street subway in this borough. From Canal street It would also build a two-track Bubway south under Greenwich street to the Bal-tory, connecting there with the existing subway loop. On the upper East Side of Manhattan the Interborough has filed a proposal to construct subway extensions under Lexington and Third avenues. It would construct a four track subway from Thirty-sixth street and Park avenue to Forty-sixth street and Lexington avenue.

From that point it would continue a two track subway for local service northward un der Lexington avenue to the Harlem River. Under Third avenue and the Har lem River it would construct a two track subway for express service to One Hun dred and Forty-ninth street in the Bronx, connecting there with Its present sub way line. The Interborough also has suggested a Bronx extension to its Sixth avenue elevated system in Manhattan. It has offered to build an elevated road from Eighth avenue and One Hundred and Forty-ninth street over Macomb's Dam Bridge and up Jerome avenue to One Hundred and Ninety-fourth street. Other propositions put forward by the Interborough involve the third tracking of certain parts of its Third and Ninth avenue elevated roads, the operation of the Steinway tunnel in connection with the existing subway system (provided the city will first buy the tunnel), and the connecting of its Second avenue elevated road with the Queensboro Bridge.

In all, about $100,000,000 Is involved in the latest proposals of the Interborough.

Washington, July 14 The noise and confusion of the House was temporarily hushed to-day when Representative Herbert Parsons asked that the report of Governor Hughes' commission to Investigate speculation In stocks nnd securities be printed as a government document. As the unusual request was repeated by the Speaker a chorus of objections rose from all parts of the House, togettier with demands of "What Is this, Mr. Speaker?" "A request to print as a document Governor Hughes' investigation of Wall Street," said the Speaker. Apparently the House did not care for enlightenment on Wall Street methods and the motion was lost under a storm of objections.

The fight of Edwin Purdy, a taxpayer of Amityville, L. against the Huntington Railroad Company, to prevent the laying of tracks through Main street.

In that village, was argued before Justice Stapleton in the special term of the Supreme Court yesterday afternoon, and decision was reserved, although Justice Stapleton intimated that the temporary Injunction grauted by Justice Scudder some days ago ought not to be continued. The fight is intensely interesting to the folks along the line of the proposed cross island trolley, and IB over a proposed change of route which was granted by the Amityville trustees, permitting a part of the lino to run through Main Btreet, between Broadway and Richmond avenue. Lawyer Edgar P. Foster represented the plaintiff and other Amityville residents opposed to the proposed route and Lawyer T. L.

Carruthers looked after the Interests of the railroad. Lawyer Foster claimed that legal notice of the proposed change of route had not been properly given, Insisting that the notice of the change should have been advertised in a local newspaper, rather than a city paper, that might or might not have sufficient circulation In the town to put the residents on guard. He further contended that the railroad didn't have the necessary number of consents from abutting property owners. In opposition 4he railroad's attorney raised the technical point that no claim was made by the plaintiff that his property would be damaged by the laying of tracks through the street in front of his premises. He.

Insisted that the value would be gj-eatly enhanced. The further point was made that no tracks would be laid unlesa necessary consents had -been secured. Justice Stapleton thought that a statement by the reputable officials of the railroad company that no Illegal steps would be taken In the construction of the line and that proper consents would bo secsred before, tracks were laid, was a sufficient guarantee and that the temporary injunction, perhaps, could be vacated. Lawyer Foster, however, insisted that it would do no great harm If the temporary Injunction was continued until the court had been fully able to look Into the facts as shown by the moving papers, plus those to be submitted. This led the court to say that the mo'-tion would not be decided upon the papers submitted and both sides were given time to hand in additional affidavits.
