It was an All Fools' Day that nearly brought heartrending results to l'atrolman John the driver of the wagon of the Fourth avenue station, when he lost a roll of bills yesterday amounting to $500. Fortunately for Mulrean, the money was found by a mounted officer of the same station.

John J. Shea, and he turned over the wad of bills to the owner. The other policemen In the station say It was not a put-up Job on Mulreau, for he really lost the money and he was on the verge of Insanity when he discovered that Ihe roll was mlss-nlg from his hip pocket. The Joy of getting the lost money bark after several minutes of acute suspense and anxiety was a terrible reaction, and Mulrean nearly lost his reason altogether when Shea gave him the money. Mulrean was one of the most docile policemen in the station, but since the occurrence his brother officers say he has been acting queerly, and they think he will become reckless and present Shea with the $300 for his honesty.

The result of the climb was that the man's necktie was torn from its moorings, his vest became and his shirt. Iront was ripped from truck to keel. He was in a most dilapidated condition and dripping with perspiration when Murphy, who had been running too. came up and placed the tall man under arrest.

He took The two men around to the Adams street station and when the trio succeeded in recovering their breath Sergeant McCormick found out more about them. The tall man said that he was Harrison G. Lamson, an architect of 219 Broadway, Manhattan, and the little man impolitely contradicted him and said he was no architect at all. "He got out of me as security for a job he gave me, and then he paid me with checks on a Bridgeport Bank, which I have since learned were no good," explained the little fellow, who proved to be Matthew Frank of 2.12 Ileyward street. "Nonsense," said Lamson.

"I'll sue this fellow for making such statements about mc" In much detail and quite coolly, Frank told his story. He said that he had been employed during the winter months as a driver for one of the big department shops on Fulton street, and had deposited with them $100 of IiIg savings as security for his good behavior. When he left the firm's employ he got his money back and began looking for a new job. An advertisement in a Manhattan newspaper attracted his attention, because it said that a young man was wanted, at good pay, as paymaster and collector for a large firm, and that security was required. Frank had his lying loose and he thought it might as well be U3ed in that way as any other.

So he replied to the advertisement and got a postal card soon afterward which read: Dear sir Your answer tn recant to position received, liense rail at ofllre of Traction Development and Company, 74 ttroadwuy, about 11 o'clock, inquire for Mr. Hosier.

Theodore S. Henderson, pastor of the Simpson M. E. Church, Clermont and Wlllotighby avenues, where the conference is to meet. The programme was given substantially as now issued in the Eagle about ten days ago.

There are about three hundred ministers and provision has been made for their entertainment, the homes of Methodists all over Brooklyn having been opened generously for the purpose. On Tuesday the examination of students will be made, and in the evening the Ep-worth League will have an anniversary and to Bishop Cyrus D. Foss tender a reception. Bishop Foss is the presiding officer of the annual session. Arthur Atkins, president of the Brooklyn North District, will preside over the anniversary.

There will be a song service by the choir and congregation, and the bishop will be greeted by Mr. Atkins, George H. Douglass, president of the Brooklyn South District; the Rev. W. D.

Brach, president of the New York District, and by F. W. Randall, president of the New Haven District, to all of which Bishop Foss will respond. Associated with Mr. Atkins on the executive committee of arrangements are Dwlght -N.

Wardell and A VACCINATION CONTROVERSY. ing on Monday or Tuesday afternoon. The committee will mnke a report. It is probable that the. meeting will ask them Icr advice whether it would be wise to accept the ofler Sully has made.

Just what this advice will be, if asked for, none of the Committee will disclose. There is lo be a conference between tno receivers and the committee again this afternoon. There ill be no meeting of the creditors generally to-day. J. Temple Owathmey, one of the committee, snld this morning that the committee is not waiting on the disclosures In the examination by Mr.

Root of Hawley and Ray. "We are only waiting till we get the information we want from the receivers. They are hurrying their investigation and we may have the information by Monday. Then a meeting of the creditors will be called." Mr. Hartley of the Sully firm was at the oUce of John R.

Dos 1'assos this morning. He declared that there was no doubt that Hawley's admissions on the stand yesterday established a partnership relation with Sully. One of the large creditors of Sully Co. and Mulrean's spirits were exceedingly high yesterday. He skipped round the stable like a youth of 19, defying anything to cause him worry.

This unusual hilarity suddenly dropped to the zero mark when Mounted Patrolman Shea came to the stable to get his horse and spied a big roll of bills near the hind feet of one of the big animals. The mounted officer clanked his spurs, placed his left hand behind his back, his right hand to his chin and meditated deeply, fearing lest the sight of the money might hypnotize him temporarily. there might be a string attached to yonder wad." he chirruped. "This is Ihe day when all fco4s fool one another." With outstretched hand and stealthy tread he drew near to the money and pounced upon the roll as a hawk descends on a chicken. It was a big roll.

The thought flashed across his mind that It belonged to the Jehu of the precinct, because often he had seen Mulrean counting his roll of bills religiously every morning in a secluded corner of the stable. "1 will make my comrade weep this day," the mounted officer mused. "1 will keep the money and pretend I -have lost my own pocketbook, and if he hasn't yet discovered his loss, he will then." Shea approached Mulrean, pretending to rairolman Charles 0. Edwards, who was for a number of years a mounted man and is now doing duty in the Ralph avenue precinct, resorted yesterday to a rather novel method to capture a man whom he charged with reckless driving. A large covered butcher's delivery wagon, drawn by a team of horses and with a driver, who appeared to Edwards to be very careless, went dashing down Broadway about 3 o'clock.

The start was made at Halsey street and a roundsman and three patrolmen made ineffectual efforts to stop the team. The driver only laughed at them. From one side of the street to the other went the wagon, dodging trolley ears and trucks. At Lexington avenue mail car No. 217 was halted to exchange sacks at Station S.

The team barely missed the car. Edwards, who had tried to slop the horses, ran to the front of the mail tar and directing the motortnan to throw the lever away over jumped on the platform and away went the car in pursuit of the fleeing horses. At Lewis avenue, the street is opened to admit of sewer building. When the team came to this, the horses shied and the driver was thrown out. Officer Edwards caught the team and some spectators picked up the driver, who was not injured, and put him in the wagon.

Then the officer started off for the station house with the driver, who delivered an address on what he thought of policemen in general. The driver, who said he was Jacob Mnrkus and that he lived on JweVtson avenue, wns arraigned in the Gates avenue court to-day, charged with reckless driving.

Louis Heineman. ords of his birth were destroyed by fire many years ago, but the members of his family vouch for his e.ge and assert that there can be no doubt of the authenticity of his own statement. He is survived by a widow, four sons and three daughters. There are more than a seore of grandchildren now living in Brooklyn and Slaploton, Staten Island.

The four sons are: Adolph, who lives in the old family homestead out on the flats at the extreme end of Columbia street, nesr the Gowanus Canal; George and Benjamin, who live at Stapleton, Staten Island, and William, who lives in Red Hook. According to the stories of all who knew "old Louis Heineman," he was a most interesting and entertaining colnpaniou and friend up to within a year of his death, when his health began to fall. His reminiscences of the early history of Red Hook and "the Beach," which he w-as very fond of rehearsing to his friends, would, if (hey could be written as he told them, make a most interesting chapter in the history of Brooklyn. OBITUARY. As a result of the controversy In Public School No.

2, over the subject of vaccination, Mabel L. Brighton, the 9 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Brighton of 443 Forty-fifth street, this borough, is under a physician's treatment for a nervous disorder of considerable malignancy. The little girl has for some ttme shown signs of nervousness and, when ordered out of the school by Dr.

Van Sickle, the Board of Health physician, she went home crying, and all that she was able to say by way of explanation for many1 hours was that, she never could go back to school. Mrs. Brighton says that on April 1, one year ago. she sent her daughter to the school with a vaccination certificate. This certificate, sho says, was never returned te her.

When another demand was made for a certificate, on March 16 last, by Dr. VW Sickle she told him by means of a note tktt a certificate had been presented to the school when her daughter had been admitted. This Principal Stevens of the school denied. Mrs. Brighton went to the school and, afier making an explanation of the case and tell- Abraham M.

"I have lost my pocketbook with in it." The reference to pocketbook made Mulrean plunge his hand to his hip-pocket to see if his own roll was secure. His face paled and staring bewildered at Shea, he gasped: "Mine is gone, too." It only took a few minutes to have the whole station alarmed over the loss, and Mulrean was becoming so excited that he had to be consoled with the suggestion that perhaps after all it was only an April fool joke. When the men thought they had had enough fun with Mulreau, they told Shea to hand over, so Mulreau got the wad. He was so overjoj-ed he could hardly speak, and the first thing ho did was to go Into a corner of the stable and count the bills to see if they were all there.

Charles Parker, w-ho had been engaged in the cut-stone business in the Eastern District for nearly twenty years, and who was well known among Eastern District builders, died at his residence.

In 1881 he came to America again and established himself in the cut-stone industry in Williamsburg in 1885. His place of business was at Flushing avenue and Walworth street. He was a member of Council Xo. 1. National Provident Union, and was held in high esteem by his associates in business.

One day he would be touring about uptown in Manhattan, making lists of apartment buildings, which he thought might as well have been copied from the telephone directory.

Next day he would be downtown, making a list of builders and real estate dealers. He did not see Mr. I-amson working as an architect all that time, but once or twice Mr. Lamson gave him blue prints of plans for sn apartment house. He was told to get a customer for the plans and he was directed to inform intending buyers that the house could be put up, for six families, at a total cost of $2,200.

The first builder he saw about it laughed uproariously in his face, and told him that he did not know what he was talking about. The man's hilarity dispirited the architect's "paymaster and collector." and he went hack to Lamson and asked him about it. Then he was let into a secret of the arehl- tect's profession, according to Mr. Lamson. Of course, it was explained, the houses could not be put up for the money, but there would be "extras" certainly, and maybe the price of buildjng material would go up.

Frank began to have grave doubts about the safety of his $2.10. These were strengthened when a new youth came into the office and began to act as if he were a part proprietor. He questioned the new apprentice find found out. that he was Theodore Kayser, whose parents keep a restaurant on Myrtle avenue and whose mother had given up $3110 in cash io get her son the place.

They marveled at Ihe methods employed and Reeve's readiness to respond.

There were lively times In a Stone avenue music hall last night and there might have been bloodshed but for the prompt appearance of Police Captain John F. Gardner, who gathered in four prisoners, one of whom he charged with assaulting the proprietor, Pas-qualo Buonaro. Peter F. Smith of 31 Somers street is the man charged with assault. He.

is said to be a professional club swinger. Last night was "amateurs night at the music hall and Smith la said to have asked for an opportunity to show his skill in swinging clubs. The manager of the place told him he had no right to pose as an amateur, for he was a man with a reputation as a professional. Smith did not like this and went Into the barroom adjoining to no tell the proprietor. Buonaro tried to pacify the man and asked him where his clubs were.

Smith replied that he had left them at home, but that he could use others quite as well. "In fact, I can swing bottles as well as clubs," Smith isjiaid to have replied, reaching over the bar for a couple of bottles. Buonaro said there would be no bottles swung while he was around and then there eome time ago was the defendant In a case in this country for the alleged swindling of the late millionaire Luther Marsh. At that time, It developed, Mrs. Kuth, the defendant to-day, was a friend of the spiritualist, and a quantity of valuables found in the defendant's home were at one time the property ot the medium.
