Progress Must Go On. However serious our problems and 06- pacially however keen may be the financial embarrassments of these recent occurrences. we must not allow any temporary setback to stay our progress or our prosperity. We may well recall, as we are recovering from this one, what a great President of the past has said. 'Resuscitation will not be promoted recrimination.

Griggs, and the Rev. Nehemiah Boynton of the Clinton Avenue Congregational Church in this borough. Letters of regret were read from Secretary Elihu Root, John Barrett, Senator Hill of Buffalo and ex-Mayor C. A. Schieren.

GOT A $6,000 VERDICT. Setauket Victim of Railroad Accident Sued to Recover $50,000 for Injuries. (Special to the Eagle.) Riverhead, L. November 14-After being out about four hours yesterday afternoon the jury in the action for personal damages brought by Charles E. Smith of Setauket against the Long Island Railroad Company, brought in a verdict of $6,000 for the plaintiff, who through his counsel, Livingston Smith and Judge Grifting, had sued for $50,000.

Colonel Beecher of Brooklyn, who appeared with Judge Belford for the detense, moved to set aside the verdict. Justice Jaycox reserved decision pending argument Monday morning next. The railroad's defense was that the spot where Mr. Smith was struck was not al public highway crossing, but merely a private right of way over which A Mr. Blydenburgh had a deed to pass without being a trespasser.

The company also set up the claim that the engineer of the train blew his whistle three times before reaching the crossing. He added that he attempted to blow it a fourth time, but the whistle cord was then broken. SHERIFF WAS EMBARRASSED. His Sleuths Held Up an Old Friend at Amityville and Nearly Delayed a Wedding. (Special to the Eagle.) Sayville, L.

November 14--On the last day that Sheriff John S. Wells and his force of deputy automobile chasers were out the sheriff had a most ant experience. At Amityville the car of Milton L'Eclure of Great Neck, a former neighbor and personal friend of the sheriff, was halted. Mr. L'Eclure was arraigned before Justice Wells, and, feeling that an injustice had been done him, decided to put up cash bail and stand trial at a later date.

He was anxious to reach Sayville to attend the wedding of his nephew, Ernest A. L'Eclure to Miss Anna L. Green, and declared that he was not violating the speed law. It is said that the sheriff was erably chagrined at the holdup, but dared not discriminate in the matter, however much he would have liked to do so. Delayed by the arrest, Mr.

L'Eclure feared he would be too late for the cereinony, unless he hurried, and asked Sheriff Wells if he drove his car at a speed in excess of a snail's pace, would he be further molested? What the sheriff's reply was is not known, cause it was made in a whisper, but the speed at which the L'Eclure car got away from Amityville indicated that the sheriff was for once willing that a car could be driven at something resembling a fair gait. There were no more holdups and Sayville was reached in time for the wedding. SUPERVISORS MAY KICK. Will Perhaps Object to Liquor Served Grand Jurors, if Only for Purposes of Demonstration. (Special to the Eagle.) Riverhead, L.

November 14-Some of the county taxpayers are wondering what the supervisors will do with the bill of the Griffin House when it is gent in for entertaining the present Grand Jury during the term, for believed this bill will contain these items: "One glass of beer, 5 cents; one glass of whisky, 10 cents." These two glasses were sent in to the Grand Jury while it was in session yesterday. Just what it Was used for is not known, but it is said a liquor case from the town of Southampton was being Investigated, and an unwilling witness was swearing that he did not know whisky from beer; so some bright member of the jury sent out to the bar and got a glass of each to be used for demonstration purposes. Whether the man was able to give better testimony after looking upon the exr hibits is not known outside the jury room. The jury, owing to the changes in the Court House, had to be quartered in the Griffin House parlor this week, and it was in session there when the wet goods were sent for. Mr.

Griffin said last night the two items would surely be placed in his bill for the use of the parlor. It is said, too, that another amusing instance came up in the jury room yesterday, when a young negro swore that he did not know what a watermelon looked like--he'd never seen one or tasted one, according to his story, and really could not tell the difference between a watermelon and a pumpkin. WIDOW GETS BIG VERDICT. A jury in Part I of the Queens County Supreme Court, at Flushing. yesterday rendered a verdict in favor of Margaret Gaebler, widow of Charles G.

Cortelyou spoke as follows: "As a native of New York it is peculiarly gratifying to me to have this opportunity of meeting such a representative body of its business men-representative dustrial not only interests, of its but commercial and of an association that was organized, as your publications state, 'to foster its trade and "At the outset let me say that I am commissioned to deliver to you a message of hearty congratulations and best wishes, coupled with a renewed assurance of appreciation of your co-operation in many matters of public moment. That message is from the President of the United States. It is not my purpose to make an extended address; in fact, I shall take but a few moments of your time, and what I shall gay is suggested by character of this gathering and the events of the past few weeks. "Your invi.ation to participate in these exercises of your tenth anniversary was accepted some weeks ago. Much has happened since that time.

We have learned some things by experience recently, by a very trying experience tor many of you, but one from which I hope you are even now rapidly recovering. Experience is of value to us only as we profit by it. Let 118 hope, then, that in what we bave just been through we have all had that kind of experience. Among other things we have learned what it means to stand steady in times of storm and stress. We have learned, too.

We have learned where weak places were, where improper practices obtained. We have learned again the value of co-operation. "In come directions what was weak has been strengthened, and, what is allimportant, if any man has been guilty a violation of trust that makes him amenable to the law, we may feel confdent that its processes, in orderly manner and regardless of sensational incitement for or against him, will be evoked in the Interest of the public." Good Work of Financiers.

"The financial institutions of this great city have had during the past three weeks one of the severest tests they have ever undergone, and when the people of the country realize, as those of us who are familiar with the conditions realize, what they have done to stay panic and establish confidence, the measure of public approval of their service will be large indeed. Other great commercial and industrial centers have co-operated, and back of them all has stood government as representing all the people, seeking to aid only legitimate interests to render assistance to every state and every section. "Now that the financial storm appears ito be subsiding, we should turn our attention more and tore to the relief of the country at" large. In the South and West, and 011 the Pacific coast, and in other sections, there are heavy demands upon all available funds for the movement of our crops, for the continuance of other mercantile undertakings, and, what We must not for a moment forget, for the employment of labor. of the most gratifying incidents of our recent trouble has been the prompt land patriotic response of many of our great labor organizations to the appeal of employers for their co-operation.

BARRY'S ESTATE Relatives Who Had Not Seen Her in Eight Years on Hand To-day. SHE MAY HAVE LEFT A WILL. Some of the Claimants Think So, Anyhow, and a Rigid Search Is Being Made. The late Airs.

Caroline Barry, the eccentrie recluse. whose death was reported yesterday, appears to have had a lot of relatives. There was almost a stream of vieltors this morning at the office of Charles E. Teale, public administrator, at 44 Court street. So far only relatives in New York State have been heard from, but of these there were at least halt a dozen first and second cousins, some A of them with families.

All seem to have the opinion that Mrs. Barry left a will, but no one is able to give any idea of the contents of it. The cousins all joined in a request that a decent burial be given to Mrs. Barry. Arrangements bave been made to hold the funeral to-morrow from the parlors of Franklin G.

Edwards, 9 Court square. The deceased had a plot in Greenwood Cemetery and will be buried alongside of the remains of her late husband. No information was given out morning at the office of Mr. Teale in regard to the names of the relatives who had called 01 bad communicated by telephone. Albert Barrie, who is a nephew on Mrs.

Barry's husband side, is not one of the next of kin. He resides on Stone street, Manhattan. He bas communicated with the public administrator by telephone through his attorney. One of the relatives of the dead wornAn was seen this morning but did not desire at this time to make any extended statement. His name is Walter E.

Miller of 45 Jefferson avenue. He is a second cousin on his mother's side. Asked when he haa last seen Mrs. Barry he stated that it was over three years ago, at the time of his mother's death. Since then he had bad communication with Mrs.

Barry. He added that the shock received from the sad circumstances attending her death had upset him and that he did not wish to talk about it any further. Some of the relatives who called this morning stated that they had not seen Mrs. Barry for eight years, that is since she had moved from Clinton avenue to Greene avenue. A superficial search in a sinall way was made yesterday at 471 Greene avenue by Charles B.

Smith and some assistants from the public administrator's office, with the object of finding a will. if one exists. In addition, a general search was made for valuables, SO that they might be taken away and stored in a safety vault. Considerable jewelry was found, but no money or anything to indicate that a will existed. Mr.

Smith, made the search, said that everything was in a very much dilapidated state and, aside from the dust, the interior of the house presented the appearance of a household just moved in. Everything was in a state of chaos. Some of the boxes opened contained clothing and linen, but it was of a very ordinary quality and absolutely valueless on account of having been boxed up so long. The furniture, on the other hand, aside from the coating of cobwebs and dust. wAs of the very finest quality.

It was antique and beautifully carved. Thie furniture had been bought by Mr. Barry before his death. Mrs. Isabella Ramsdell, who, with help of a policeman, discovered the death of Mrs.

Barry, stated that the dead woman had not kept any money around the house and the search so far conducted bears out this statement. Certain memoranda discovered seem to indicate that Mrs. Barry had deposits in several banks, but there was nothing to indicate what amount might. be on deposit. Rent receipts showed that she owned a house at.

41 West Sixteenth street, Manhattan. in addition to the house in which she lived. The opinion was expressed around the public administrator's office that the estate would not be as large as had been stated, the figures having been announced at not less than A half million. Of course only a strict search will reveal the real value. Charles it.

Kelby and Charles B. Smith will commence a thorough and systematic search this afternoon try and disuse, cover a will. It la expected that this will consume several days, as there is an immense amount of stuff to be overhauled and examined. In case no will is found within a week, letters of administration will be applied for. These cannot be applied for until a search has been made for any will which may be in existence.

It may be that Frank C. Marrin, who acted as Mrs. Barry's lawyer at one time, and is now in prison in Philadelphia, may know of the existence of some will. He made some investments for the dead woman and swindled her out of considerable money. He was once greatly in her confidence, and may have drawn up a will.

Mr. Kelby, who was seen this morning, stated that there was another lawyer, whose name he did not wish to disclose at the present time, who knew considerable about Mrs. Barry's affairs. If the will cannot found in the house, then the varlous safe deposit vault institutions will be visited to see if any papers had been deposited in any of them. The reason Mr.

Kelby gave for not disclosing the names of the relatives was that he did not wish either of them or the public administrator's office to be pestered by shyster lawyers in their efforts to get clients. No complete inventory of the estate will be made until the search for the will has been completed. The house chattels are now guarded by the police, and this guard will be maintained until the estate is wound up. The public administrator's office will not come in if any Brooklyn relatives are found, as in that case they will administer the estate themselves. In case the local office does handle the estate, and it should amount to $1,000,000, the fees coming to the office, at 5 per would amount to $50,000.

This would be the richest plum ever received in the office. AUTO UPSET; FOUR HURT. Brooklyn Party Met With Mishap in Forest Park--Due to a Bursted Tire. Four people were injured yesterday afternoon in an auto accident in Forest Park, Glendale, and it is considered remarkable that there were no fatalities. The accident occurred near the bridge of the Long Island Railroad over Myrtle avenue.

Dust-stained from his long tramp from Boston to this city, Louis Lang, 49 years old, was picked up last night by Policeman Sauer of the Lee avenue station. Lang was carrying a dilapidated valise, and a square basket into which was tucked an extra pair of trousers. He frankly admitted having 110 home and was locked up as a vagrant. This morning. when arraigned before Magistrate Steers in the Lee avenue court, he said he was a wood turner and had tramped from Boston to this city in search of work.

He said he neither money nor friends, and was committeed to the workhouse until the magistrate could secure him a job. HURT WITH HIS OWN GUN. Smith Says He Started to "Break" Revolver and Accidentally Shot Himself. Another queer East Side shooting affair came to the knowledge of the Central Office and precinct police early this morning through the medium of a tip received by the headquarters newspaper men Shortly after 4 o'clock a reporter went to Lieutenant Hall on the desk at the Fifth street station, Manhattan, and asked if he had heard anything of a shooting at 42 St. Mark's place.

He had not. At 6:80 Detective Short was sent to find out what had happened. He was shortly preceded by Central Office Detective Michael Myers. They learned that Harry Smith, the name given, who said he was 27 years old, a Russian clerk, living at. 42 St.

Mark's place, had been shot in the left shoulder. Smith, his wife. Rosie, and Barney Greene of 1452 Fiftieth street, Borough Park, had occupied the Smith's room, Greeue sleeping on a sofa. Smith said all three had been to the theater, then to a coffee saloon on Second avenue and then retired. He said he could not sleep, got up to get 3 hook out of his trunk, and while doing this saw a revolver which he "had not used for three or four montha." Smith said he noticed the gun was getting rusty and picked it up to examine it, started to "break" it and a bullet hit him in the left shoulder, which the doctors and detectives say is a physical impossibility.

Dr. Pinkelstein dressed the wound before the police showed up and as the police could not find any further facts than are" here related they made Do arrest. OFFICIALS FIGHTING MAD. Suffolk's Sheriff and Supervisors Resent Jail Report of Prison Commissioner Hynes. (Special to the Eagle.) Riverhead, L.

Nor. 14-Officials of Suffolk County, Including Sheriff Wells and members of the Board of Supervisors, when seen by an Eagie reporter 1 last night, were highly indignant at the language of the report as to the Suffolk County jail made by Commissioner of Prisons Ilynes, and printed elsewhere in this issue of the Eagle-Sherifi Wells because of the charge permitting an she untidy jail, and members of the board of supervisors because of the charge that they "worked against" a Republican sheriff in the matter of providing proper accommodations for the prisoners in the jail. To say that these ofcials were indignant is putting it mildly--they were "mad, through and through." Every grand jury for a decade has examined the interior of the jail and has reported that "we And the jail in a cleanly and orderly condition." The present grand jury completed its labors this morning and was to examine the jail before being discharged, and it is believed that their report will contain language very similar to that quoted from the reports of previous grand juries, particularly now that the prison commissioner's report has been filed with Sheriff Wells and the supervisors. ELOPED; MARRIED; CAUGHT. Henry Miller, Marine, Charged With Abduction, Says He and Edith Bucksteinn Are Married.

Henry Miller, a marine attached to the Brooklyn navy yard, was arrested last night by detectives from the Stagg street station charged with the abduction of Edith Buckstein, of 240 Scholes street. the story of whose disappearance on Sunday last appeared in yesterday's Eagle. He was arrested a in a boarding house at 95 High street with the Buckstein girl. With the couple at the time was Florence Kramer, who is reported as having been with the girl at the time of her disappearance. Edith, who is only fifteen years old, was arraigned in the Children's Court, while Miller was brought before Magistrate O'Reilly in the Manhattan avenue court.

When questioned as to his conduct. Miller said that he and Edith had been married yesterday and that Florence Kramer has been brought along as 8 witness. He said that he could support her. The Kramer girl was also arraigned on a charge of vagrancy. Her sister was in court carrying a small baby in her arms.

and when the judge held the girl for further hearing the sister toppled over in a faint. It took nearly Afteen minutes to revive her. Magistrate O'Reilly paroled Miller until Monday and told him that he had better make arrangements for the support of his young wife. He said that he expected to send her to his father's ranch In Texas. WOUNDED MAN NOT IN COURT.

Philip Acerra of 17 Amity street, lyn, who was stabbed three times by Joseph Monna of 27 Main street, Brooklyn, during a quarrel in an Italian saloon In Carlton avenue, Arverne, on the night of October 28, failed to appear against his assailant when the case was called by Magistrate Healy in the Far Rockaway court vesterday morning, and Monna was discharged. The me nhad been paying attention to a young Italian woman who frequented the place, and Monna, becoming jealous of Acerra, stabbed him three times with a pocket knife, none of the wounds being very serious.

DOCK CONFIDENCE MEN SO POLICEMEN DECLARE DIED. Well Dressed "Vagrants" With Advertising Money Are in Custody. ONE SAID TO BE KID AFFLECK. Notorious Crook Was Thought to Have Reformed -Hope of Getting More Evidence. Everybody on the dock was shocked late yesterday afternoon when three detectives from the Central Office on State street put under arrest two well-dressed men who were on the quay at the foot of Richards street apparently about to embark on a steamship for Halifax.

The two well-dressed men had been making friends among the strangers and one had represented himself, as a merchant of much wealth, who was simply going back to Nova Scotia to look out for some large business interests. Detectives Devoy Farrell, dock experts, say they had identifed the pair as a couple of adroit and resourceful confidence operators. There was a loud protest from the two against being taken to local headquarters, and some of the people about declared that they were good and responsible men, who bad been flashing big bank notes to prove it. The pair did not flash any of their bank notes on the detectives, though, for they had good reason to keep them concealed. Indeed, their plethoric pocketbooks were bulky with "phony" money---bills with $100 alluringly printed in imitation of bank notes, but which were either advertising contrivances or notes of the Confederate States, which were never of much value except as curiosities.

The detectives suspected that this was the quality of the money the men had been showing, but they were not sure until they had searched them at the detective bureau. Sure enough, they had the pocketbooks, fine seal fold-overs, but there was no genuine money to be found there; simply the spurious bills mentioned. Footed up, they had maybe $2,000 In paper money that never was and never would be negotiable, even for fried eggs in a blind man's restaurant. The prisoners had a wealth of pawn tickets for various small objects, showing that prosperity had not been worrying them much of late. One of the men said he was John Ryan, aged 45 years, of no settled home, and the other James Miller, aged 42, the "wealthy merchant," was also without a fixed home.

Vagrancy was the charge made against them, and the prisoners were arraigned before Magistrate Tighe in the Adams street court and were committed to jail pending a hearing. Detectives Devoy, Farrell and Reiff, all interested in the arrest, Identified John Ryan 88 Kid Affleck, an old timer, who is 60, if he is a day old. Kid Affleck started out first as a clever confidence man, but he soared higher in the world of graft and became a most dangerous safe breaker and bank burglar. The police had lost sight of him for some time, and there was a belief that he had changed his ways of life and was doing something that was entirely respectable. The disillusion came yesterday when he was found drifting about backing up the grand claims of the other men, and acting as one of the great man's satellites.

The police expect, before the next day of arraignment. to And out more of what Affleck had been doing since he fell out of sight and there Is a possibility that a more serious charge than vagrancy will be made against them. Of late there has been much swindling going on along the borough's river front, for there is good graft among the innocent. Acting Captain Kuhne of the headquarters detective bureau has sent a number of his best confidence men experts to look the ground over and he says that he is determined to make the docks safe for any traveler. The town is pretty well cleared now of the Italitn bunco men who had been haunting the river front on sailing days.
