T. Board's Last Meeting. Nelson P. Lewis, chief engineer of the Board of Estimate, whom Mayor Mc-Clellan designated to make an examination of. the river section of the Brooklyn make a preliminary investigation within a few days.

The exploration of the tunnel by Mr. Lewis will be done gradually, and it may take two or three weeks before he has completed his examination and js ready to file his report with the Mayor. Preliminary to making a personal investigation Mr. Lewis has devoted the past week to an examination of the original and amended plans, Interviewing the engineers who are engaged In the construction work and collecting whatever data he believes will enable him to make a thorough and exhaustive examination when be enters the two tubes. "In collecting this advance material," said Mr.

Lewis, "I will know what I am going to see and what I may expect to find. It will also give nie a good idea where to look for different things and where the conditions exist which require the most attention." Lewis explained that the terrific air pressure which is still maintained in different parts of the tunnel is the principal reason why he intends to make the examination, gradually. "No air prossure Is maintained In the two ends of each tunnel," said Mr. Lewis. But further In there are two chambers where the air pressure is 20 and 40 pounds, respectively.

Being a man of 51, I have to be somewhat cautious and proceed into the funnel gradually until I get acclimated to the terrific air pressure. A fair Idea of the risk may be obtained if you stop to consider that in the 40-pound chamber the atmospheric pressure is three and two-third times as great as the normal atmospheric pressure." Mr. Lewis refused to say whether the preliminary investigation which he has made has justified the charges of the many defects which are said to exist in the construction work of the tunnel. He Bald that it would be discourteous to discuss this phase of the situation until he has made his formal report to the Mayor. Chief Engineer Rice of the Rapid Transit Commission announced to-day that he will have the plans and specifications of the Fourth avenue and Coney Island subway ready for the last meeting of the commission which will be June 23, three days before, the public utilities law goes into effect.

The last function of the present commission in this matter will be to set a date for a public hearing which will, be held by the new utilities commission. "It is Impossible to get the plans and specifications ready at an earlier date," said Mr. Rice, "when the cost and the magnitude of the work Is considered. The law provides that before the public hearing can be held the commission must have 500 copies of the specifications printed for public distribution. This also requires some time and under these conditions the best we can do Is to have the plans and specifications ready for the last meeting." Mr.

Rice said that the contract would probably be advertised In IS sections. Under this arrangement the work of Construction can be expedited more quickly than if the contract was let In a single section. After the public hearing has been held the only thing left for the new utilities commission Is to approve the plans and specifications and the form of contract. Similar approval must also be had then from tho Board of Estimate and the Corporation Counsel and then the matter will be In shape for the advertising for bidders. NEW CHURCHES AND PASTORS.

The Presbytery of Nassau to Install Ministers at Richmond Hill and At a meeting of the Presbytery of Nassau, held at Jamaica yesterday, the Rev. Daniel W. Skclllnger, called to the new church at Richmond Hill at a salary of $1,200. was received into the Presbytery of Nassau, from the Presbytery of Washington, and his call to the Richmond Hill church was approved, Messrs. Campbell and Hodges said the cubrch has sixty members and ninety-seven members in the Sunday school, although during the winter the services have been held in an uncomfortable hall.

Now that the church is to occupy its own church edifice for the first time a great growth is looked for. The new pastor will be installed June 27. The Rev. Mr. Field, the newly-called pastor of the Flushing Church, said ho was awaiting his licensure by the Presbytery of Brooklyn, which Is expected a week from next Monday.

A resolution was passed approving of the action of the church, and It was said that the ap proval of the call would be forwarded as soon as the candidate receives his license from the Brooklyn Presbytery. Gordon Russell, son of the Rev. Alexander Russell, secretary of the Presbytery, having passed a satisfactory examination, was licensed as a candidate for the ministry. The Rev. Charles Herbert Scholey was dismissed from the Presbytery of Buffalo to the Presbytery of Nassau.

Owing to the feeble condition of the Ravenswood, Long Island City, church, It was resolved that the next meeting of tho Presbytery be held at that church, two weeks hence, and at that time the whole question as to the consolidating the church with the Astoria church, or other means adopted for building up the congregation. The church property is said to be worth $2,500. The Newtown church was Informed In regard to its application to permit change of system of electing elders for a terra of years to a system of life tenure, that the church session already has the power to do this. MAN IN JAIL ACCUSED. Victim of Assault Identifies Prisoner as One of the Men Who Attacked Him.

On tho uight of June 2, at o'clock, V. E. Rambold was brutally beaten at Eighteenth street end Ninth avenue, by two men. who then took $3 in money and a silver cigarette case from his pockets. Rambold was laid up for several days, and when he was able went to the Fifth avenue station to make a complaint.

Officer Fennel was assigned to the case and took Rambnld tn the Raymond street jail to look at the prisoners. Rambold picked Patrick Walsh as one of the men who, he alleged, bad assaulted and robbed him. Walsh is 21 years old and gave his address as 453 Seventh avenue. He was serving a ten days sentence for drunkenness. Walsh's ten days expired yesterday, and this morning he was haled to the Butler strert court to answer to the charge of assault and highway robbery.

Board of Estimate's Committee Hears Argument Coler and Metz Not on Speaking Terms. The special committee of the Board of Estimate, consisting of President Mc-Gowan, Controller Metz and President Coler. to which were referred many Brooklyn matters by the board for Investigation and report held a meeting this morning to dispose of them before the board adjourned for tho summer.

It was the first time In weeks that President Coler had been seen in the private office of Controller Metz, where the meeting was held. Mr. Metz and Mr. Coler do not speak, but this fact did not seem to embarrass either one of the two men. They sat side by side and appeared as oblivious of each other's existence as If they were a hundred miles apart.

R. V. Creuzbaur, Mr. Coler's consulting engineer, acted as a sort of an Interlocutor between the two men. If Mr.

Coler had anything that he wanted to say to Mr. Metz he would whisper into Mr. Creuzbar's ear. Then Mr. Creuzbar would communicate the message to Mr.

Metz and return to Mr. Coler with the reply. One of the most Important matters on the calendar was the petition of the Crescent Athletic Club to close Narrows avenue between Eighty-third and Eighty-fifth streets. The street, which runs through the club's field, has never been physically opened, although-It in laid out in the map. It was explained that the street was originally ceded to the city by the club when new sewers were Installed above the property of the club, with the understanding that the title was to be returned to the name of the club later on.

It was discovered that some provision In tho charier prevented the Board of Estimate from taking this action and the only recourse left open to the club was to make formal application for the closing of the street which would take it from the map. Charles W. Church and C. P. Williamson representing property owners in the neighborhood opposed the application.

Mr. Church claimed that the closing of Narrows avenue would leave the property be represented between Elghty-flfth and Eighty-sixth Btreets in a blind alley. Mr. Williamson argued that inasmuch as the property owners had been forced to pay an assessment the street should remain on the map. The club, he declared had been a blight upon the neighborhood for years and that the committee action which would benefit the'peeVlfe Htl large.

Controller Metz suggested as a compromise that action to open the street be deferred as long as the club used It as part of its grounds. V. B. Ford, counsel to the club and a former president raised a vigorous objection to this. He said that the club was entitled to the return of Its property and he asked the committee to report In favor of the petition.

"Any action to the contrary," said Mr. Ford, "will drive the Crescent Club out of Brooklyn. The land will be cut up Into building lots and the very people who are protesting to-day will find their property depreciating in President Coler and Mr. Metz were In favor of closing the street. President McQowan.

however, had not made up his mind. He asked that action ba deferred. In the meant me he will make an inspection of the premises. Action was also deferred on the application of property owners to open Belmont avenue from Snediker avenue to Powell street. The object of the application is to open the streets through the tracks of the Long Island Railroad at Vesta a.venue.

The company has built a freight house in the middle of the road against which Belmont avenuo abruptly ends at the present time. Adolph Klendl and Alexander S. Drescher of the Brownsville Board of Trade anpeared tn favor of the application. They made arguments and while the committee was favorably impressed. President McOowan asked that no action be taken for the present until he has had an opportunity to look over tho ground personally.

The committee will make a report disapproving the following proposed improvements, included among which is tho proposition to establish a public playground to be known 3 Heights Laying out an extension to' Williamsburg Park; Inying out a park at Crop-sey avenue and lie Bruyn's Lane: laying out a public park at Klntbush avenue, Washington avenuo and Malbone street: laying out a public park between Fourth and Fifth avenues and Third to Fifth streets: public park at Joralemon. Furman and Ttemscn streets: laying out Orace Court from the present terminus to Furman street. The limited borrowing capacity of the city made the disapproval, of these improvements necessary. The committee will approve the nrono-sillon to widen Foster avenue 6S feet from Coney Island avenue to Gravesend avenue.

Mary Ann Scannell-Pepper-Vanderbilt's notorious career before she came to Brooklyn to be head of the Spiritualists' church is expected to figure largely In the court proceedings brought by the daughter and other relatives of Edward Ward Vanderbllt, to save the Vanderbilt estate from the hands of the Spiritualistic "Bishop." "This Is another DIs DeBarr case," said Max Arnstcln to-day. Mr. Arnstein, who is a lawyer at 320 Broadway, is representing the relatives of Mr. Vanderbilt In au action to procure a commission in lunacy for tho old man who took the advice of May S. Pepper's spirit guide.

Little Bright L'eyes, and made the Pepper woman Mrs. Vanderbilt. The Pepper woman's relations with Mr. Vanderbilt himself will play a big part in the court proceedings. There will be a great deal testimony concerning the long visits the, spirit medium made to the country homes of Mr.

Vanderbilt. Mr. Arnstein thinks that the case simply another case of Ann Odelia Diss De Bar, the Infamous spirit medium who swindled Luther R. Marsh, an aged millionaire, out of a fortune and made bis distinguished name the laughing stock of New York. There is much that is similar In the careers of the two women, though it must bs said In justice to the notorious Diss De Bar that she used more cultivated methods.

She had a better beginning. She was the daughter of a Kentucky school teacher, while Mary Ann Scanners father was only a New England broom maker. The court proceedings may lead May Pepper back along the path she traveled to fortune a path well strewn with battered human wrecks and ruined homes. If the Pepper woman opposes the proceedings very strenuously, there is little doubt that the Vanderbllts will bring up her past to support, their claim that she Is a dangerous character and that she has misled other men and wrecked other homes before she came to Brooklyn. The Dublin Ghost May Be Baised Again.

The famous Dublin ghost that played Cupid to Mary Ann' in the old days back In Providence is to be dragged out to show that "Little Bright Eyes" Is not the only spirit that ever exerted the Influence tot spirit land to get Mary Ann married oil. The Dublin ghost waB a poor matchmaker, though he did his best. He was the spirit that ousted the Shanghai rooster's crowful spirit from the job of spirit control for Mary Ann. The first match-making spirit In the career of Mary Ann was the Dublin ghost. He was the spiritual maaifestation of a dead Irishman.

The ghost had wandered all the way from a quiet Dublin graveyard to find a spirit en rapport. Mary Ann, scouring the pans at the Ken-yon dairy, was en rapport. So the rooster had to get out an 1 let the ghost take hia Job. The ghostly old gentleman tried to marry Mary Ann to a handsome young Irishman, the nephew of Father FInnegan, a Catholic priest In Providence. The ghost kept telling Mary Ann that certain spirits wanted her to marry Father Flnne-gan's handsome nephew.

The nephew got the messages all right, but he was a dreadfully material young man. with veins full of red blood and no Immediate interest in the spirit world. He harkened not to the advice of the spooky gentleman from Dublin. In those days Mary Ann was deeply Interested In marriage. The good Mrs.

Kenyon Rays that her servant now Mrs. Vanderbilt used to write letters to herself proposing marriage. "Little Bright Eyes' a Later Acquisition. That was in the days before "Little Bright Ej-es." Mary Ann got disgusted with the Dublin spook maybe because he fell down on the romance with Father Flnnegan's -nephew and began to look about for another spirit en rapport. It seems that Ghostland had plenty of spiritual affinities for the buxom Mary Ann, but.

she didn't have any real success with any of thorn' until "Little Bright Eyes" happened along. "Little Bright Eyes" is tho Bptrit of some Indian maid that used to live up around Newburyport, or New Bedford. Mary Ann hired "Little Bright Eyes" as a spirit control while she was up in that neighborhood, presumably while she was living at New Bedford with George William Pepper, after some itinerant ghost had persuaded Pepper to leave his wife and children in Taunton and devote his salary of $40 a week to Many Ann Scannell. There la one period in the life of Mary Ann that will be Investigated by Mr. Arnstein.

That period covers a part of 1888. It was when Mary Ann paid ner first visit to Brooklyn. She didn't come down as a spirit medlwm to be head of a church and have Judge Dailey and Dr. Funk as pillars in the same, but George W. Pepper says she came here and lived with him lived with him as his wife, although she was not his legal wife and never was his legal wife.

The Spirit Always Had an Eye to the Medium's Material Welfare. Mary Ann's activities in breaking up the Brow family and her use of spirits In other affairs may be a part, of the evidence to show how she and ber Bnirlt controls were prone to secure influence over men and lead them to do thing? against which their better natures rebelled. As for the spirit influence which was hroushl to boir on tho wealthy old Mr. Vanderbilt. es nothing new.

If "Little Brlrht Eyes" wrote to Mr. Vanderbilt and ued violet inlt with a v-ry infinite and worldly chemieal composition, and askd him to send checks for big amounts to May S. Pepner. it was lust in line with the thoughtfulness of Mnry Ann's spirit friends of thirty years aro. Somnhn'- or othrr.

Marv Ann alwnvs had a kind and thoughtful spirit ever watchful for the comfort and material welfare of Mary Ann. One time Mary Ann wanted a nice white that belonged to her friend. Mr'. Siwyer. The ore-is was a present from Mr.

William Tinkmnn. a believer In spiritualism, who had Just "passed beyond." One day Mary Ann was giving a sitting at Mrs. Snwver house and she reported that Mrs. Tlnkhara's spirit had just appeared to her. "She wants you to give that, white dres? he gave you." pre the words al-lcrrd to have been user! bv Mary Ann.

Mrs. Sawyer wanted to Keep the dress, hut of course she didn't want to offend the spirit of her dead friend, and there I is li'tle doubt that Marv Ann would have rot the dres if Mrs. J. P. Monroe, other spirit medium, had not advised ht-r that Mary Ann's message was a fake.

I Since Mary Ann came to Brooklyn she USE ALLEN'S FOOT-EASE, A In be nhik-n Into th- If -u tlive tile. I. a-'hitift fi-ft. try Allan's 11- II r-'-stp tti. f.f rnnk-ii now ilsht h-3 urs m-hmft.

SCHIFF LAST SEEK IN DETROIT ON MAY 15 Salesman for Uncle's Umbrella House; Lived at 627 Hancock Street. ABSOLUTELY LOST, 26 DAYS. Parents With Whom Young Man He- Bided Are Deeply Worried Took Little Money With Him. George Schiff of 627 Hancock street, who is a traveling salesman for a big umbrella manufacturing firm In Manhattan, of which his uncle, Isaac Schiff, Is a partner, has mysteriously disappeared. He was last seen in Toledo, Ohio, on May 15, where he had stopped over for a day en route to Detroit, and although, as the result of a general alarm sent out by hn uncle, the police of all the important cities in the country have been searching for the young man for nearly three week3, no clew to his whereabout has yet been discovered.

George Schiff. According to the story told by his uncle to an Eagle reporter to-day, George Schiff's disappearance seems to be one of the strangest on record. There was absolutely no reason, Isaac Schiff said, why his nephew should have vanished. He left home in the best of health, had no business or financial worries and was not a youth given to escapades. The whole thing, the uncle declared, was a profound mystery to him which would only be explained wien his nephew reappeared.

That his nephew would be heard from in the near future his uncle confidently predicted. Young Schiff is 21 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighed about 130 pounds. He Is a youth of fair complexion, with light blue eyes, light brown hair and a smooth shaven face. At times he Is accustomed to wear eye glasses. He lived with bis S.

Schiff, in a boarding house at the Hancock street address and was well-known In the social set of that section of the borough. A few years ago he entered the employ of Arnold, Schiff a large wholesale umbrella firm, which for years did business on White street, near Broadway, but which has recently moved its offices to 107 Franklin-street, Manhattan. This concern is one of the best known houses of its kind in the city. Young Schiff took naturally to the trade, of which both his lather and undo had made a life study, and it was not long before he was advanced to the position of traveling salesman. In this capacity he traveled all over the West for the firm, the great majority of his trips being unusually successful.

It was on May 12 that young Schiff started on the business trip in which he has so mysteriously disappeared. He was to visit Columbus, Toledo, Detroit and other large cities of the Middle West. He Intended to return at the end of about a month. Before departing he drew $150 from the Arm for traveling expenses, Intending to write for more when that should have been exhausted. Schiff was accustomed to write, or wire the firm for which he traveled every day during bis trips and his uncle was rather surprised, therefore, when he heard nothing from his nephew after three or four days had passed.

The absence of the customary dally reports did not at first give him any great concern, however, for be attributed his nephew's failure to write to the fact that he was probably very busy. But when more than a week had elapsed and father and uncle bad heard nothing either directly or indirectly from the young salesman they decided that it was time to Investigate. Isaac Schiff knew that young Schiff's itinerary called for his presence in Detroit on May 16, that In fact he had wired ahead for rooms on that date. So he telegraphed the management of tho' Hotel Cadillac, in that city, asking for Information. The reply stated that the order for rooms' had been received, but that young Schiff bad so far failed to appear.

Isaac Schiff waited a few days longer and then went to Police Headquarters in Manhattan and asked that a confidential general alarm be sent out for his This was done on May' 23. Since then the police all over tho country have been hunting high and low for the young salesman, but so far without results. They learned that he had been in Columbus, on May 14. and In Toledo on the following day. But there the trail slopped short.

When last seen he wore a blue suit, a light overcoat and a black derby hat. He left the hotel in Toledo, saying that he intended going next to Detroit, but whether or not he ever boarded a train for that city the police have been unable to ascertain. Isaac Schiff, when seen at his place of business in Manhattan this morning, was very reluctant to discuss his nephew's disappearance In detail. He said "he Had something; on his stomach which made it exceedingly hard for him to be even civil to reporters." Finally, he was prevailed upon to make a statement, which was as follows: "It is impossible for me to give any satisfactory explanation of the strange disappearance of my nephew. He has never disappeared In the past and there is absolutely no reason why he should have done so on this, occasion.

Ho had not been ill; In fact, he was in the best of health when he left this city. So far as 1 Know, he had no worry of any kind "Ho appears to have attended to his business regularly until May 15, when all trace or nun was We have had both police and private detectives scour ing the country for him, but thus far no clues to bis whereabouts has been discovered. "I am 'confident, however, that nothing serious has happened to him. You can depend on it that he has done nothing to oarm nimseir, and any suggestion of foul play is absurd, because he had only $150 with him when he started West. No; it's simply one of those remarkable cases of strange disappearances which are never explained until the person who has vanisnea reappears, and I am certain that my nephew will rcapper before so very long."
