QUEENS BOROUGH. MAN'S DEATH REMAINS A MYSTERY Coroner's Jury Unable to mine How Peter Goetz Was Killed. PICKED UP BESIDE CARRACKS Wagon He Drove May Have Been Hit by Car, but Evidence Is Lacking. That Saldermano, son-in-law Caroline Murat. late of Woodhaven, held for the Grand Jury, was the recommendation made yesterday by the coroner's jury at the Jamaica Town Hall, after the inquest over the death of Caroline Murat.

Saldermano has already been indicted by Grand Jury, and is awaiting trial on the charge of murdering his mother-in-law. The coroner's jury failed to ferret out, yesterday, the cause of the death of Peter Goetz, 52 years old, of Columbia avenue, Maspeth, who was found beside the trolley tracks by a passerby early in the morning. The man discovering Goetz said that he noticed a man lying in the roadway, and on approaching him, believed him to be but slightly injured. He placed him in a milk wagon which was standing by and secured medical attendance. On further examination the seriousness of the injuries was realized, and in a time Goetz died.

The witnesses declared that they believed that a trolley car must have struck the wagon in which Goetz was riding, and thrown him to the ground. No evidence of a collision with a trolley, however, was adduced. and the jury brought in the verdict that the man had died of a cause unknown to it. Henry McGee, the motorman on the Long Island electric train which ran over Fred R. Church of Shelbourne Falls, was exonorated by the jury.

Church, who was an agent for a Massachusetts firm. endeavored to board a train at the Queens station as it was moving away from the depot. He slipped on the snow, fell under the wheels, and was instantly killed. The death, was declared to be accidental. thrilling description of the death of George Horn.

33 years old, of Busbwick avenue, Brooklyn, who died as a result of a fall from a wagon drawn by a runaway horse, was given by witnesses. Horn was driving at an easy pace in Glendale, when his horse suddenly took fright. The driver tried his best to stop the speed of the animal, but without avail. After running some time in the main street, the horse made a sharp turn up a side street. The wagon hit the curb, and Horn was thrown violently to the ground.

He fell on his head, and was instantly killed. A verdict was returned in accordance with the facts. The unexpected backing of a train which he was following was declared at the inquest yesterday to the cause of the death of George H. Schultz, 38 years old of Port Washington, an employe of the Long Island Railroad Company. Schultz was walking along the track some distance behind an engine in the railroad yard at.

Long Island City, when, unseen by him, the engine began 1 to back. The man kept trudging on toward the engine, and did rot look up until the rear of the engine was almost upon him. He then attempted to jump off the tracks, but it Was too late, and he was struck and fatally injured, dying later at St. John's Hospital. was the decision of the jury.

QUEENS LANDMARKS GONE Leverich Homestead, Between Winfield and Woodside, Razed. Built in 1670; Owned by One Family Until 1874-Century-Old Garretson Seed House, in Flushing, Removed. The ancient two-story stone farm house, known as the old Leverich homestead, on the Train's Meadow road, between Winfield and Woodside, has been torn down by the Terminal Heights Realty Company to make way for a more modern building. The dwelling was a well landmark in that locality. The son of the Rev.

William Leverich, who was the first of that family to come to the old town of Newtown, erected the building in 1670. His name was Caleb Leverich. The house was enlarged in 1732 by John Leverich, the grandson of Caleb. The place was owned and by the Leverich family until occupied, The last head of the family to occupy it was Deacon Richard Leverich, who died in 1836. His widow and family resided there until after the death of Mrs.

Leverich, which occurred in November, 1874. The place then passed out of the family. The large farm on which the house stood was purchased from the Indians by the Rev. William Leverich. During the Revolution the members of the Royal Highland Forty-second Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Stirling in command, made their headquarters on the place.

Another of Plushing's landmarks was abandoned yesterday, when the work of building known as the Garretson seed removing a the single story frame I cuse. on Lincoln street, was commenced to give room for a modern building. The structure was erected about 100 years ago by the father of the late Charles H. Garretson, who occupied the building in connection with his seed business, but of late years it was used as a storehouse by the Garretson family. Four years ago a fire was discovered in the old seed house, and it looked for a time as if the building would be destroyed.

but the firemen did good work and the damage was small. Indications now are that in the very near future it will be found necessary to remove the old Garretson homestead, on the same plot. Efforts have been made 10 arouse enough interest to raise a fund to preserve the homestead, but architects say that the building will not stand removal on account of its advanced age. ECHO OF WAKEMAN CASE. Motion Made to Discharge Committee of Well-Known Writer, Recently Declared Sane, There was an echo of the Edgar L.

Wakeman trial in the Queens County Court yesterday, when Attorney Edward Cahn, who represented Wakeman when the latter was on trial as to his mental condition, made al motion that Harry Miller. the Jamaica attorney, who is committee of Wakeman': property, discharged and the property be returned to the owner. The motion was opposed by Attorney Isadore Canner. who tutted that there were a number of bills out which the committee had to pay. Judge Humphrey granted an adjournment for ten He said that, as the jury had decided that the former newspaper man was of sound mind, there was 110 reason for keeping his property from him and he should be put in possession as soon as possible.

Miller said that he would have his report ready in the time designated by the court, Wakeman was in court and looked 38 happy and chipper as a bridegroom.

Each to Cost Be Passenger Waiting Rooms--Two More Factory Plans Filed. In the Bureau of Buildings in Queens yesterday the Pennsylvania Tunnel and Terminal Company filed plans for the erection of three one-story steel structures which are to be built on the south side of Jackson avenue, west of Hunneywell street, in the Sunnyside yards. Each is to cost $13,500. From the plans it appears that these structures are to be used as waiting rooms and transfer stations for passengers. This is the first intimation given by the railroad that stations for passengers were to be arranged in this part of the big yards.

Just what passengers will be transferred here is not indicated, but without doubt they will be those who come here to take trains for points to the eastward. According to plans also filed yesterday the Winfield section is to have a large factory building, to accommodate a business concern now located in Manhattan. The plans were filed by the Manhattan Fireproofing Door Company of 412 East One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street. The plans call for a factory building 100x200 feet, one story and of brick, the cost of which will be $50,000. The Auto Press Company of College Point also filed plans for a factory 113x 50 to be erected on its property at College Point, on Twenty-second street, north of Third avenue.

William H. Kreamer is the architect and the building will cost $20,000. QUEENS NEWS PAGE POPULAR. It Receives Warm Commendation From Representative Citizens of the Borough. "The Brooklyn Daily Eagle's Queens Borough page is fine," said George W.

Pople, for the past seventeen years president of the Flushing Business Men's Association. "I have read the Eagle for a number of years," continued Mr. Pople, "and I think that this Queens Borough page is one of the best things this enterprising paper has done for this borough. I am greatly interested in civic matters pertaining to all sections of Queens, and I always rely upon the Eagle to furnish me with the information. It seems to make it a point to devote considerable space to civic matters and I do no know of another thing that this paper could do to more efficiently boom our great borough.

It is not only a great thing for Queens, but it will no doubt increase its circulation here." Harry Sutphin, Deputy Commissioner of Public Works of Queens, and editor of the Borough Bulletin, told an Eagle reporter last evening that the Queens Borough page in the Eagle was a big help to the residents of the borough, as they could find out what was going on in all sections by just glancing at that page of the paper. SUED FOR $906 RETAINER. Lawyer Lynam's Action Recalls Big Purchases for Sunnyside Freight Yards Two Years Ago. Events of two years ago, when the a agents of the Pennsylvania Railroad were A going among the property owners in Long Island City, offering them fancy prices for their holdings in order to the land that was necessary for the big Sugnyside freight yards, were recalled in the Queens County Court yesterday. The reminders came in a suit which was brought by Benjamin J.

Lynam, all attorney of Long Island City, against Patrick O'Keefe of Fifth avenue, that place, to recover a retainer fee of $906. From the testimony it appeared that O'Keefe owned four lots and three houses on School street, in the Sunnyside district. When the agents of the railroad decided that the holdings of O'Keefe, together with those of some others, would have to be taken by condemnation proceedings, 0'Keefe retained Lynam as attorney, agreeing to give him 5 per cent. commission on the amount of the award obtained, The award was $18.160. The court also allowed certain costs in the action, and 0'Keefe then refused to pay the 5 per cent.

retainer, claiming that the amount Lynam received from the court was all he should get. At the trial Lynam was represented by Attorney James J. Conway, and he produced a copy of the agreement regarding the retainer. The jury, after hearing the evidence, took only about five minutes to decide in favor of Lynam. The amount of the retainer has been in the of the Title Guarantee and Trust Company ever since September, 1907, when remainder of the amount of the award was paid to O'Keefe.

CARPENTER MAY DIE FROM FALL Ferdinand Grandsow, a carpenter, living in North Grove avenue, Rockaway Beach, lies in St. Joseph's Hospital, Far Rockaway, in a serious condition. Grandsow is 61 years old and while repairing the roof of a porch on the Arena Hotel, at Boulevard and Fairview avenue, Rockaway Beach, last Monday afternoon, fell and sustained a fracture of his right arm and internal injuries, OLD WATCHMAN BELIEVED HE WOULD DIE IN A FIRE Long Island City Asbestos Plant Employe Had Twice Been Badly Burned. 3D BLAZE COST HIM HIS LIFE. O'Connell May Have Been Seized With Apoplexy, Fallen and Set Factory in a Blaze.

Curious crowds stood around the ruins of the New York Asbestos factory all day yesterday and watched the effort that was being made by Police Captain Maude and a squad of workmen to find the remains of John O'Connell, the faithful and veteran watchman who was supposed to have perished in the flames. It was about noon that the search was rewarded, and then the charred remains of the trunk of a human being was found. It was just at the head of the stairway leading into the basement of the factory from the boiler room. The head, arms and legs were missing. But nearby was a corncob pipe filled tobacco.

and alongside of it was the lantern that had been carried by the watchman. The pipe had escaped destruction by the flames, as it lay under the body. The glass was gone from the lantern, and the frame had been melted and twisted by the heat. When this evidence of O'Connell's death was found a shiver ran through and the crowd of curious. It was taken out reverently covered.

Later it was taken to an undertaking establishment. The search for the other portions of the body was continued, but when work was stopped last night they had not been found. The finding of the body where it lay gave rise to certain theories of the fire. It was the belief of Captain Maude and Battalion Chief Smith, who were at the ruins, that O'Connell had been suddenly stricken with apoplexy as he was about to descend into the cellar, and he had dropped his lantern, 'and that' had set fire to the building. That some such a thing happened was led by James Murnane on previous evident, because the rescuers, "the who were night, were within a few feet of where the body lay.

Had O'Connell been conscious at that time, and he did not have time to be burned, certainly would have answered the calls rescuers for him. It was told yesterday that O'Connell had a presentment that he would be burned to death. Twelve years ago he was in a big fire in the works of the Standard Oil Company, in New Jersey, and at that time he was severely burned. Several years later, while working in another factory in Long Island City, he was again burned. The third fire cost him his life.

The owners of the works were unable to say what they would. do about rebuilding. It was the impression, however, that as soon as the loss is adjusted rebuilding will be commenced. Business men and residents of that section of Long Island City expressed themselves in emphatic manner yesterday to the effect that, with this fire as an example of what can occur, they proposed to make a determined demand upon the city authorities for the immediate extension of the water system to that part of the ward. They will also demand that the streets be fixed up so that it will be possible for the fire companies to get to the district in a hurry, and they will also urge that more fire boxes be placed in the district.

R. KEESE DECLARES Assistant Corporation Counsel for Queens Has a Story to Tell. HIS RESIGNATION REQUESTED. Predicts Clean Sweep in Borough Street Opening Bureau, and Fears Public Interests Will Suffer. William R.

Keese of Richmond Hill, who was for sixteen years assistant corporation counsel of New York City and latterly charge of Street Opening Bureau Queens, and handed his din then resignation several days ago, did not, he last night, resign his position voluntarily. He declared that it was de manded and that he was forced to take such action by the powers that be. Mr. Keese says that a letter was sent him, stating that it has been decided to appoint another man in his place, and that his resignation would be accepted. The communication came from Corporation Counsel Whitman of Manhattan.

Mr. Keese believes the shakeup the corporation counsel's offices in Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan was caused by Mayor Gaynor, who, finding that he could not' change the existing law regarding street openings, decided to tear up by the roots entire system of street openproceedings now in use and place new men in office. Mr. Keese understands that there is to be a clean sweep in the Queens office, and that all the old men are to go. He says he does not know where men of experience will be obtained to take the places of those ousted.

"The officials of the Street Opening Bureau of Queens," he said, "will soon all be new, and how they will know what is required of them I fall to understand. The bureau is one of the most difficult places in which to work under the whole city government, for intricate, technical points of law are constantly cropping up for decision. It is hard enough for experienced men to please the people in the matter of street openings, and with new men in charge I fear that many mistakes will be made, and it will cost the city many dollars to rectify Mr. Keese said that personally he is glad to get out of the office, for he and others in his office have been SO worried and nagged at lately that life was unbearable. He said that he would not return to the office now even If he was asked, but that he is sorry for the is an outrage," he said, "that the public should be expected to put up with the conditions that I fear will shortly prevail in the Street Opening Bureau of a are From expressions certain of quarters, regret it is because said, of there Mr.

Keese's resignation. TEMPERANCE TALK IN COURT Magistrate Smith Lectures Pris- oner From Little Neck at Flushing. Lets Him Off With $10 Fine, but Warns Him Not to Trifle With John Barleycorn. In the Flushing police court yesterday Mr. 'strate Smith gave a lecture on temperance, which was not only of interest to the defendant at the bar, but also to others in the court room.

Frederick White of Little Neck was charged with having discharged a shotgun on the premises of Paul Yoniack at that place on March 12 last, when, it was alleged, White was under the influence of liquor. Yoniack testified that White fired the gun in a the rear room of his saloon, ripping up the floor and doing other damage, and when he attempted to put him out on the street White again fired some shots. In his own Cafense White testified that he had been duck shooting just before he entered the premises occupied by the defendant and that he had shot off the gun accidentally. He admitted having had drinks before the shooting commenced. At the conclusion of the testimony in the case Judge Smith told White that he was convinced that he had shot off the gun as testified by the complainant, and that he was also of the impression that White was under the influence of liquor at the time.

The judge continued: "White, you have the name of being a troublesome person and a man who drinks, and a man who drinks should not be permitted to go around with a shotgun or any such weapon. It is not safe for man who drinks to be at large as you were. I find you guilty of conduct and fine you $10 or ten days in jail. You may consider yourself very lucky to get off so well, for in the condition of intoxication in which you were you might have killed somebody and been compelled to answer to a charge of homi cide." BACKS UP UNITED CIVICS. Third Ward Republican Club Also Wants Queens Represented on P.

S. Board. At a meeting held at Flushing last night the members of the Third Ward Republican Club voted to support the United Civic Association of Queens in its complaint to Governor Hughes that Queens County had been entirely ignored by the Public Service Commission in the matter of providing rapid transit facilities for Queens Borough out of the $120,000,000 that it is proposed to spend for trunk subway routes, in the City of New York, and also expressed their approval of the recommendation of the Civic Association that in the proposed amendment to the Public Service Commission, the taxpayers in Queens be allowed a local representative in the Commission. The Flushing club will send a communication to that effect to Assemblyman Theodore P. Wilsnack of Queens, and request him to express to the Governor, in person, the sentiments of the Flushing Republicans.

The growth of manufacturing industries on Long Island during the past year was unprecedented and comprises fifty-three establishments, c.mong which were several big plants, including the automobile and carriage concerns being built at and about the Queensboro Bridge entrance in Long Island City, which will employ several hundred hands each. The direct train connections afforded by the Long Island and Pennsylvania Railroad systems with all parts of the continent and the establishment of the favored zone within which delivery sales are the same as at the most favored water front sections of the Port of New York, have tended to build up manufacturing industries in Queens Borough at a rapid rate. The greatest increase is in Long Island City and at Laurel Hill, and several of the old established industries have largely increased the capacity of their establishments. During the year 1909 nearly 275,000 tons of freight were handled at Jamaica alone, an increase of over 80,000 over the previous year. This was mainly in the building materials line.

The leather belting business has largely increased in clen Cove, where the Ladew factory is located. Nearly 800 hands are employed in the manufacturing industries in Patchogue, at the lace mills E.

Bay Side, Douglaston and Little Neck Residents Will Appeal to Commissioner Baker.

The residents of Bay Side and Little Neck and Douglaston want a police station established somewhere in the vicinity of Bay Side, and Police Commissioner Baker will be appealed to in the matter. The residents of these sections claim that at certain hours the places are without protection. Only recently the handsome home of Magistrate Robert C. Cornell at Bay Side was entered by burglars, who carried away a lot of silverware and other valuables. Many claim that if the section was properly policed the volunteer firemen would have been able to save the handsome home of Edward McLean at Westmoreiand, which was completely destroyed by fire yesterday morning.

As it was, the first one to notice flames was a gateman at the Little Neck railroad station, and after he turned in an alarm it was almost one-half hour before a policeman arrived. N. N. Mason, a prominent member of the Bay Side Park Civic Association, in taiking to an Eagle reporter, said that it was an outrage that the residents of Bay Side did not receive better police protection. "At present we have one policeman to cover Bay Side.

What could he do if a band of burglars started to work here? The residents of Bay Side Park have engaged several special watchmen, but it does not seem fair that we should pay for police protection out of our own pockets when other sections of the city get good police protection." INWOOD OPPOSES CREMATORY. (Special to the Eagle.) Inwood, L. March 25-Three separate petitions have been presented to the town board of Hempstead, protesting against the rebuilding of the garbage crematory at Far Rockaway and asking that the town board take action toward preventing its reconstruction.

State Senator Lenis Harte, who is one of the central figures in the present contest, arrived home from Albany last night and he took command of the contingent who declare that the conduct of the affairs of the club in the past has been all right.

He predicted that this side would on next Monday put up a very lively opposition. They are going down with banners flying, if down they must go. Then, in the second place, it is said if the club is ousted from its present quarters an option has been secured on another house near by and to that the club will be moved. "To think of some of these men making a kick about the sale of liquor in the clubhouse," said one of the members. "Why, they ought to tell what they did with those bottles that they brought to the club and kept in the icebox.

And it was not all dyspepsia medicine or spring tonic either." The action of Landlord Wendle in bringing this suit on the grounds of selling without a license has had its effect on several clubs of a political nature in the First Ward. At these houses the steward has been permitted to serve something more than water when the members gave the proper sign. Now. however, all this has been stopped, because the club members fear that the may get wise and cause trouble. LOVE AFFAIR CAUSED DENNIS GIRL'S SUICIDE Her Engagement to Lewis O.

Kemp told a straightforward story of how he and Katherine had been engaged for about a year and a half; that a month ago he broke off their engagement because, he said, "she was too jealous and if we couldn't get along singly, we certainly couldn't agree married." The dead girl's -old brother Julius told an Eagle reporter that not long ago Kemp took a bottle of carbolic acid a from the girl, and although Kemp denied this to the Eagle reporter, Mrs. Dennis corroborated her son Julius' story of the carbolic incident to the coroner, Mrs. Dennis also told the Coroner that sometime previous, her daughter had hinted of disappearing and making way with herself.

"fix" him, and demanded that Dennis explain what he meant. Dennis admitted he made the ramark, but that he meant to have Kemp placed in prison for causing his daughter's death.

He also said he had no intention of doing Kemp bodily harm. The girl was seen at the corner of Ocean avenue and Main street about 10:30 in the morning, and that she was determined to die in front of the train was evident from her having been seen about noon by Daniel Gallowitch, a schoolboy of Bellport, walking up and down the track near where she was killed. as if waiting for the train, Herbert Hoyt of Amagansett, the rear brakeman of the train which struck there was no highway crossing anywhere near the scene of the suicide.
