in THE SUN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1897. BRONX MUSEUM YET. GARDEN 800IETF'S BOTANICAL $500,000 DEMAND HELD UP. of Won't Put It Deard Oblige the Mayor-Say That the Experts Who Have Been Overruled by the Stiles, Board, Are Entitled to Consideration. Park The scheme of the Board of Managers of the Botanical Garden Society, the Park Board and Mayor Strong to ride shod over expert in the matter laying out the Botaniopinion Gardens in the southern end of Bronx cal was effectually blocked yesterday in the Park Board of Estimate by Corporation Counsel and Comptroller Fitch.

The request of Scott the Park Board for $500,000 for the erection of the Botanical Museum building and other strucnecessary for the gardens was not tures granted, and Mayor Strong was visibly chagrined thereat. When Park Board determined to set aside the necessary land in Bronx Park for the gardens a committee of experts consisting of Messrs. Sargent, Olmsted, Hastings WAS appointed to pass on the plans presented by the Board of Managers of the society. AfterSamuel Parsons, the Superintendent of Parks, was added to the committee, and the work of examining plans WAS begun. Subsequently, and while the plans were still in the bands of the experta, Mayor Strong, actIng under the influence of certain members of the Botanical Society's Board of Managers, wrote a letter to the Park Commissioners urging them to adopt the society's plans for the gardens.

Then the committee of a experts made report condemning the plans as whole and advising the Park Board to refuse to approve Instead of following the recommendations of its own experts, the Park Commissioners, with the single exception of Mr. Stiles, the only genuine authority on park making in the board, voted to approve the plans after few slight alterations had been made in them. They also decided, "of without the aid of Mr. Stiles, to ask the Board Estimate to appropriate 6500,000 for the work, and it was this request which. was not granted by the latter body yesterday.

The resolution asking for the money said it WAS for the construction and equipment of a suitable fireproof building containing lecture rooms and offices, and for various other buildings to be used for the the propagation like. and culture plants, flowers, was and also appointed in Architect spite R. of if. Gibson, of who the protest Commissioner Stiles, was present with a beautifully, colored drawing of the proposed Columbia building. Prof.

is an Britton of College, who active member of the Board of Managers the of the Botanical Society, was there to urge board to act favorably on the Park Commissioners' request. After the resolution was read Comptroller Fitch said: "Perhaps, Mr. Mayor, you would 'like to have a public hearing on this matter before we act. There seems to be a difference of opinion which would justify "I prefer not to rote on this resolution now," said Corporation Counsel Scott. "If we vote to give them $300,000 to-day, it would not, as I understand it.

finish the work of the society, and the Park Board can come back at any time and ask for more. There are some features of this scheme that I wish to look into carefully. The city is not only called on to give up a large portion of Bronx Park, but also to pay the piper for the whole cost. Commissioner Stiles, the most experienced man in the Park Board, is bitterly opposed to the present scheme, and think his opinion should have some weight." "What I object to," said Comptroller Fitch, "is the tone and manner of the members of the Botanical Society. One of its professors came into my office one day to see me about these plans and his manner was so lordly that I was almost led to believe that these people had ac.

quired absolute ownership of Bronx Park and the city treasury." Then Mayor Strong sprang to the defence of the society. "The $125.000 promised conditionally to the Board of Managers will lapse at the end of the year," he said. "Something ought to be done at once so that it will not be lost. This is a part of the money which the Botanical Society expects to use in fitting up the buildings in the garden and providing plants and flowers. I think the Park Board did exactly right in rejecting the adrice of the experts, Sargent.

Olmsted, and Hastings. I haven't the slightest doubt that in the laying out of landscapes they are experts, but not one of them has ever had any experience in making botanical gardens. They do not know near so much about the making of a botanical outfit 88 do some of the gentlemen connected with this society. The latter are all men who have inspected the botanical gardens of the world. Most of them are men who bare been to Europe as many times 88 1 and the Comptroller have hairs on our heads.

One of them spent two months in Kew Gardens in London, and while there he made a thorough study of the whole subject: therefore he is in a position to speak more intelligently on the subject of making a botanical garden than is Mr. Olmsted, or Mr. Sargent. or Mr. Hastings.

I am inclined to accept the views of these men of large experience, who have studied the matter for four or five fears, rather than the Ideas of experts who began to study the subject on Jan. 1 last, and who cannot make up their minds now as to just what ought to be "My understanding of the matter," said Mr. Scott. "is that the experts have been considering what was best to be done to preserve the natural beauty of the ground, and that they oblected to some of the buildings as being likely to injure Bronx Park. I do not think the Mayor's parallel with Kew Gardens will hold.

The land there is perfectly flat and the buildings there might not do for Bronx Park. think. therefore, that the views of Mr. Sargent and his associates, coupled with the enlightened opinion of Mr. Stiles, are entitled to some consideration." The Mayor again urged the board not to delay.

"Two of these experts are from he said. "They might be interested in holding up the plans." "I move that we secure services of the best architect in Plattsburg." said Comptroller Fitch sarcastically. Finally, at the suggestion of President Jeroloman of the Board of Aldermen the whole matter was referred to the Corporation Counsel for the a report as The to the legality of looked appropriating money. Mayor unhappy. President Barker of the Tax Department took no part in the discussion, but he voted to refer the matter to the Corporation Counsel.

They gathered up the little personal property they had in their cella, bade to Warden O'Shea, and started out of the Leonard street doorway in the custody of Under Sheriff Baker of Queens county and Detective Price.

Out on Leonard street, where two carriages were waiting to take prisoners to Long Island City, a crowd of at least a thousand persons had gathered, anxious get a glance at Mrs. Nack and her companion. Mrs. Nack was the Arst to step out of the Tombs, She was accompanied by Under Sheriff Baker, who hurriedly got her into one of the coaches. When the coach door WAS slammed the second coach drove up to the door and Martin Thorn appeared on the Tombs steps, handcuffed to Police Captain Methren of away Beach, who is a Queens county deputy sheriff.

Thorn and Capt. Methren got into the carriage, followed immediately by Detective Sullivan of Queens county and Detective Price of this city. Central Office Detective Crouch and Detective Debraga stepped into the first carriage with Mrs. Nack and Under Sheriff Baker. When the two carriages were driven up Elm street several others followed.

They were coaches hired by the newspaper reporters. The line of carriages looked like a funeral procession. They went up Elm street to Worth street, then through Baxter street and across Paradise Park to Now Chambers street to James slip, where they boarded a ferry boat for Long Island City. On the way over neither Mrs. Nack nor Thorn would talk of the new indictment.

Neither of the prisoners seemed in the way concerned. Thorn remarked to the detectire that it was good to get A breath of fresh air. Mrs. Nack said in answer to a question, that she was in good spirits and that she was in good company. One of her lawyers, Manny Friend, went to the carriage in which Mrs.

Nack was seated. After greeting him pleasantly she said that she had forgotten her rooking chair, and asked him if he would have it sent from the Tombs over to the Long Island City jail.

The question as to who owned a pug dog thrilled Grand street last night from Essex street to the Bowery. The pug left its present place of abode at 205 Allen street early in the evening under the guardianship of Samuel Grossman and his wife, who lire at that number. The Grossmans were out for an airing, and they naturally gravitated to Grand street. Just around the corner from Allen street on the north side of Grand is a delicatessen store, in the front windows of which hang various brands of sausages. The Grossmans stopped to gaze upon the dangling assortment, while the pug ducked into the picture-frame shop of Bernard Zolty at 300 Grand street.

Mr. Zolty has a family of large proportions, which was distributed in various parts establishment. No sooner did the Dug go cavorting down the aisle between the picture frames than there arose a simultaneous shout from the youngsters. It's Nellie, our Nellie!" they chorused, and the pug. in fright.

scampered back to the street, followed by the Zoltys, en masse, the father of the familr in the lead. He seized upon the dog before it bad gone a dozen jumps, and he thereupon became acquainted with Grossman and his wife. Put that dog down!" yelled Grossinan. Are you a dog catcher You stole it. It's mine." retorted Zolty.

Why, I got it when it was a pup from Hoboken." said Grossman. But see the spots here on the back and here on the leg. You stole it and you can't have it back." replied Zolty, as he started for his store. Grossman grabbed the pug. which Zolty had tucked und his arm.

A great pulling and hauling began, to the deep pain of the pug and the delight of the gathering crowd. Policeman Gorman Anally appeared in time to save the pug's life. He demanded explanations, and got them in such profusion that he took every one around to the Eldridge etreet police stAtion, where they went over the whole case from the pug's nativity down, for the benefit of Sergeant McCoy. Grossman 89- serted that he had owned the dog month, while Zolty admitied that his dog had been gone only ten days. The latter finally decided not to make a charge against Grossman, who left the station house triumphantly with his pet under his arm.

Zolty still insists the dog is his, but says it's not worth going to law about. P. J. GLEASON ON WATER. He Courts an Investigation of the Supply 1 Long Island City.

More trouble has arisen in Long Island City over the scant and bad water supply. People are buying their drinking water in some parts of the city rather than drink the polluted reservoir water, while in other parts citizens have been forced to depend largely upon wells and cisterns for water for household purposes. Recently the Jeffersonian Democracy adopted resolutions condemning Mayor Gleason as being responsible for the shortage and appointing a committee of three to gO before the Grand Jury and ask for Gleason's indictment. Then Mayor Gleason and the Board of Water Commissioners got together and passed resolutions calling upon the Grand Jury to vestigate the lack of water and throwing the blame therefor upon the Common Council. About a year ago the Board of Water Commissioners entered into a contract with the side Water Company to supply the city, but the Common Council refused to ratify the contract.

Mayor Gleason's enemies assert that he owns the Woodside Water Company and that he has refrained from taking measures to increase the regular water supply in order to force the city into a contract with the company.

The large and handsome parlor sofa of Mrs. Edward Mann, who lives in the flat house at 120 Boerum street, Williamsburg, caught fire yesterday while its owner was polishIng it with naphtha and was totally consumed.

In itself this matter was not or great import to the neighborhood, but it came near being raised to the level of a tragedy through the hasty and Ill-advised action of Miss Lena Holman, who lives across the ball. Hearing Mrs. Mann'a calis for help Miss Holman ran into the room where the sofa was brightly blazing. She took in the situation at a glance, and with great presence of mind rushed back to her own room and jumped through the window. Thence it came about that the first tire company to appear was requested to gO away and send an ambulance instead.

Upon the are rival of the ambulance Mies Holman insisted on diagnosing her own case as one of taneous death, but was finally persuaded to content herself with a severe bruise, The tire damage, including that to the sofa, was $15.

MOB SPIRIT RULES AGAIN. ROYAL ROYA BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure WHY REPORTER FERRIER SMILED. Is Released from the Jail to Which the Weehawken Recorder Murried Him. Lawyer Alexander C. Young made an application to Judge Hudspeth in the Court of General Sessions in Jersey City yesterday for, a writ of habeas corpus to secure the release from the county jail of James Ferrier, who had been committed for ninety days by Recorder Simon of Weehawken.

Ferrier is a reporter and he is also a deputy Sheriff. He has criticised Recorder Simon with some severity in 8 newspaper on which he is employed, and he has also gone before Town Council of Weehawken and stated that the Recorder was utterly unfitted for the office he holds. Rocorder Simon bided his time to even things up with Ferrier. The opportunity came last Tuesday night. A row occurred in one of the saloons in Weebawken and Ferrier, in his capacity as deputy Sheriff, tried to stop it.

liceman Daly of Weebawken saw Ferrier struggling with the men who granted were that engaged he in the row, and taking it for was fighting, hunted Recorder Simon and told him about it. The' Recorder wrote out a plaint against Ferrier, charging him with assault and battery and also with disorderly conduct. He made Daly sign the complaint. Then he made out 8 warrant and gave it to Daly to serve. Daly speedily haled Ferrier before the Recorder.

The prisoner was accompanied by friends, who offered to give bail for his appearance for examination. Recorder Simon fused to accept bail. He said he would try the charge of disorderly conduct then and there and dispose of it at once. It was then nearly midnight. Ferrier and his friends protested, but in vain.

Recorder Simon opened court and proceeded with the trial. Two or three witnesses testifled that they saw Ferrier mixed up with the crowd that was fighting. Ferrier says he asked to be sworn and allowed to tell his story, but the Recorder refused to hear him. The Recorder adjudged the defendant guilty of disorderly conduct and sentenced him to the county jail for ninety days. A commitment was made out and Ferrier was hurried to the jail.

In making his application for the writ yer Young declared that Recorder Simon's action was an outrage on justice. Judge Hudspeth sent for Recorder Simon with instructions to bring his record of the trial. When the ord was handed up Judge Hudspeth read it and said: "Mr. Recorder, defendant bas the right to be confronted with his accusers: he has a right to see the complaint and learn what he is accused of: he has right to be heard. You have summary jurisdiction in disorderly conduct cases, but the defendant must have a legal trial.

This record is barren of facts. It contains nothing but your own conclusions. There is nothing in the record to show that this defendant was guilty of disorderly conduct. The conviction is set aside as irregular and not in conformity with the law. There is nothing to show why this prisoner should be beld, and he is therefore Ferrier smiled at the Recorder as he walked out of court, but the smile was not returned.

The Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Company has a large stripping at Honey Brook, and needing some coal for its own use, attempted to put it into operation this morning. The necessary number of Italians and Hungarians were procured, and the men went to work. The news sproad, and shortly after 7 o'clock nearly fifty infuriated women, armed with sticks and followed by a hundred men and boys, appeared and made an slaught upon the workers. Egged on by the men, they hurled sticks and stones at the men who had the rashness to exercise their legal privilege of endeavoring to earn a day's wages, and drove them from the pits.

The mob next swooped down upon the Monarch, Star, and Carson plants and drove the men working there out also. consequence all the works had to close down. Information of these riotous demonstrations was conveyed to Gen. Gobin at hin headquartors in Hazleton, and he ordered five companies of the Eighth Regiment under Col. McGee to the scene of the disturbance.

When the troops arrived the mischief had been done, and the rioters had dispersed. Col. McGee marched bis command to Honey Brook, Breaker Hill, and McAdoo, and then returned with his men to Hazleton.

Gobin for military protection. Gen. Gobin WAS of the opinion that since his command had been detailed for service in Luzerne county. he could not detach any part of it for service in anv other county. He advised Sheriff Scott to appeal directly to the Governor.

This the Sheriff did, and remained in Hazleton until 6 o'clock awaiting an answer from the Governor. Up to late to-night, howerer, he had received none. No more men went on strike today. but neither did any of the idle ones resume operations. The situation remains as it was.

The meeting was called by Emil Nyitray, President of the Hungarian Reformed Church of this city, who acted as Chairman, and it proceeded in orderly fashion until ex- Assemblyman Otto Kempner had made a speech. Kemp. ner spoke in support of the resolutions, declaring the killing of miners unjustitable and demanding that the Minister of Foreign Atfairs of the Austrian Empire call upon the United States Government to' investigate the shooting and punish the Sheriff and his deputies.

Then he read the oppostion resolution-. They said that the shooting was a premeditated move by the "capitalistic power of the coal barons and the whole capitalistie class in general to break the backbone of the strike." The resolutions also asserted that nothing but the socialization of the mining and other industries would prevent similar occu Tences in the future.

Hundreds of the Socialists roared selves hoarse in demanding the parsace of the resolutions. In the -t of the uproar somebody called on the solitary policeman in the hall. Officer Hock of the East Fifth street station, to put out of the hall the ringleader of the Socialist shouters. The Socialists yelled at the cop not to interfere. They jumped to their feet and pressed forward as if to overpower him.

The policeman resorted to diplomacy, He WAS understood to say that he couldn't see who the shouter with the foghorn voice was. Then Hungarian clergyman named Pee meter climbed upon the platform and livered speech to the Soctalists. He told them it was not right to try and break up the meeting. The crowd listened to him, but the moment he ceased talking the shouts of the Socialists became louder than ever. Max Schwartz, the owner of the hall, then got up on the platform and said that as the Socialists seemed to be in the majority they should be allowed to run the meeting.

There was a hurried consultation on the platform and then at word from Chairman Nyitras 250 of the Hungarians, who had hired the hall. sot up and marched out in a body, leaving the 50 clalists in Socialists control. The Felled and cheered, and de. manded that Gottlieb, their should put the resolutions to a vote. To their astonishment Gottlieh said that in view of the fact that the other party had fled.
