The dancing and the fencing of the sisters Chapelie earned for each of them the heartiest applause, while flowers were showered upon Nellie Murray nnd Midge Neville, for their dance coquette; Zelda Sanders, Lillian Bertram and Marie Richardson, who had many dances; Georgia Bryton, a dainty little artist from the London Alhambra, who offered a polka caprice; La Petite Leo, who danced a Highland fling as one can seldom see It danced; Carolena Howard Havlland, who danced in Hungarian military costume, and Violet Dale, who gave a wonderful sword dance. Miss Bryton also proved herself to be a very clever character artist In the role of a dude, nnd Jessie and Bessie Abbott made a decided hit singing "We Sine because We Love to Sing," accompanying themsdlves on the banjo and mandolin. Altogetner It was one of the most perfect performances which Carl Marwlg has ever arranged. That Is paying it and the little folks who appeared In It about ah high a compliment as can be given them. Atlantic Garden, on the Bowery, has lever held such an assemblage as crowded it to the doors last night, at he benefit for The World's Bread Fund.

3 eople swarrped into the famous resor and filled every available space, even th and billiard hall. Men women and children stood between th tables and in the corners, sufferln much inconvenience, but feeling well re paid in what they saw and heard, all which shows the estimation In whic Mr. William Kramer, the proprietor, I held.

This opens another possible avenue escape for those who may be liable the loss of the vessel. A false char coupled with tricky currents, may lea the court of inquiry to decide that ther should be no court-martial. Mr. Lyma described the condition of his chronome ters, which were Just from the depar meiit.

He said, also, that In making Ion reaches he found land which he wa looking for pretty exactly. He had reason whatever to doubt the correc' ness of his calculations "Was your navigation outfit adequate? asked Mr. Kelley, "Yes, except the binocular glasses' which were poor, and the telescope the night sextant, which didn't wor very well." Mr. layman said that the speed wa determined by the patent log. In th run of nearly 1,600 miles from New Yor to San Domingo It was out of the w.i only sixteen miles, or 1 per cent.

She was headed with the Hea or passing to the south and east of Roncador. When observation was taken at noon Feb. 1 It was found that the current was setting- to the northwest from one to one and one-half knots an hour. This was In accordance with the chart. "When did you make the first change In your course after leaving Navaasa Island?" asked Judge Kelley "When we were about fifty miles from Roncador," returned the Lieutenant This was Feb.

2, about 10 A. Then he looked at the log and said that the course had been changed ut 10.12 -A. At. from south southwest one-quarter west to west southwest three-quarters They had determined their position that day by the sun, the conditions being excellent. Then there was much technical testimony about the observations, the purpose of which was to show the force of the currents.

The force of these questions was summed up In this "As the result of your observations and calculations, what did you determine the strength and set of the current to be?" "Seventeen miles in longitude and three miles In latitude. In the twenty-four hours from noon of Feb. 1 the aggregate of the currents was from twenty-four to thirty-six miles." There were many more questions relative to the observations, it being very important to determine their exactness. Then the Judge-Advocate plunged ahead with his questioning. "What was the bearing distance of your greatest danger at noon on Feb.

"The nearest Roncador, then about forty-two or forty-three miles distant, bearing southwest by west." "What are the duties of the navigator when the vessel Is approaching land or port?" At 6.10 a lookout had reported land to starboard, and though not proven, prevented the navigator from recommend- much of a change to westward. The proceedings of the day closed with a question written by Commander Heyerman. It was this: "Did I not direct (he course to be changed at 6.30 on Feb. 2 to west, and upon your recommendation change the course to west, one-half south?" "Yes," said Mr. Lyman, "that Is quite true.

1 was so certain that we had passed all danger." was nn important question and answer. It may help Commander Heyerman out a g-ood deal. Then it may amount to nothing. The officers who were on deck at the time of the grounding will testify today. TIGERS ON THE GOLDEN STRAND.

Commander Heyerman was released and it was the turn of the navigator, Lieut. Lyman, to go upon the stand. He was sworn by Admiral Gherardl. He was plainly nervou.s during the morning session.

In answer to formal questions he said that he was Charles Huntlngton Lyman, a lieutenant In the navy, and that he had served between twenty- seven and twenty-eight years. He Joined the Kearsarge as navigator June 1 of last year. He -denned the general duties of navigator on board ship to to see that all Instruments are hi good condition, determine the position of the vessel and supply all Information relative to her navigation. Mr. Kelley brought out the most Important -part of Mr.

LymarTs testimony almost at the start. The Lieutenant called to the navigation bookl of the Kearsarge and the charts. These were, offered In evidence. Some of the charts were furnished the Kearsarge only a few days before she sailed "Had you any information that shoals were Improperly laid down upon the charts?" asked Mr. Kelley.

"No, sir." "Do you believe that they were mproperly laid down upon the chart?" replied the Lieutenant with a slight This was Interesting' the charts of the United States Navv be Incorrect it la a mighty Interesting state of affairs. Admiral Gherardl- who has seen much service In that part ofthe world, pricked up his ears, and so did the other officers of the court "What reason have you for thinking that shoals are Improperly laid Mr. Kelley went on. His was a Keneral question. Mr.

Lyman answered Ifowfy is a man who Is giving each word due weight. And his answer had to do with only one shoal, Honcador FALSE CHARTS, TRICKY CUB- RENTS. have reason to believe that the reef from three to miles west of whirl is laid down in the chants," said the avlgator. "I base this upon observations taken about twent" ro UBB truck. The change was made after It was discovered how far we had been carried by the' current.

At first the commander would not believe that we had been carried so far. When we went over our calculations we found them to be correct. I then told the commander that he would go to northwarj of the cay, and that at our present rate of speed we could pass It by daylight. The course accordingly was altered to pass to the northward of Roncador." Mr. Lyman said he also made a report to Admiral Stanton, who happened to be with the at the time.

He explained that the Admiral had nothing to do with the navigation of the ship. At the time it was- decided to go to the north of Roncador the ship was fifty- six miles distant from It. WERE REALLY LOST. There were many questions about the delay In arriving at the conclusion to go to nocthward. Mr.

Lyman said that he knew that the currents were treacherous, but he had no Idea that they would carry the' ship so far out of her coursa. When they found just where the ship was, at 10.12, It was considered advisable to cut off a long part of the trip by going to northward of tne Island. When they took the 4 P. M. observation the Kearsarge was sixteen miles from one end of the Island and twenty miles from the other end.

From noon until 4 M. -the ship had run 19.03 knots under sail. Mr. Lyman repeated many times that he emphasized the necessity of reaching 'Roncador before dark, as it would be dangerous to be about that neighborhood In the night, aieam was raised about 4PM to increase speed. Mr.

Lyman said that he figured out that a Lym 6 P. M. he was six miles to the north and west of Roncador Cay. He made allowance for the currents. Had it not been for these he calculated that he would be about two miles north of Roncador.

and one and one-half miles east. They kept a sharp lookout, but saw nothing- of land. Mr. Lyman concluded that they had passed Roncador' but had not been able to see the sandbank on account of the Still he suggested to the commander that they change uieir course a little to the westward In order to avoid faking any chances. "Mr.

Lyman," asked the Judge-Advocate, "what Is the latest hour on Feb. 2 that you are sure that the currents were setting to the north and west?" "The records show. The last observation was at 4.30 P. M. I am sure that the current was setting in that direction at that hour." The lieutenant told of the observation which he took, about twenty minutes before the ship struck.

This was by SIrlus. According to this observation he was exactly in-the longitude of Roncador at the time. This, however, was not a very accurate observation. He did not have time to work It up. And, anyway, star observations cannot be trusted within two miles.

"To what do you attribute the difference between your position and your supposed position?" "The change In direction of the currents and the Improper charting of the reef." "At 4 P. M. you had currents setting to the north and west?" "Yes, sir." "At 6,30 you had currents setting in an entirely different direction?" "Yes, sir; the currents were setting to the south and east at that hour."

Ex-Comptroller Myers urged the Park Board yesterday, to have a carrlaeo entrance to Central Park at Fifty.ninth street and Seventh avenue: He said that it would be a much- needed improvement to the park, as there is now no carriage entrance between Fifth and Eighth avenues, and would give work to many men.

Ministers Appeal to the Business Men's go on and swear that they voted the Republican ticket. Now, I give you my word, every time I come out of the polls I wonder In my soul If I voted the ticket I picked out. It's pretty tough." It was particularly tough for Fay.

He liad fought with Mr. Wellman, and had fenced with all his skill against that shrewd and' cruel cross-examiner. Then Mr. Howe asked him whether he were married. "Yes." "Got any children?" "One." And then the man who had kept his nerve all through the trying" ordeal weakened.

The State prison came before him and his pale-faced wife trying to make a'living for the little one. He didn't break down and cry. He fought against It, as a man will. His face worked, and finally he sprang up and went to the 'water-cooler to get a drink ostensibly, but really to wipe his eyes. Mr.

Howe started to ask another question, but broke off with: "Never mind; I'll not ask you anything more." Mr. Weliman didn't let it go at that. In his summing up he managed to get it in that Mr. Howe was full of such tricks as that. "Why, gentlemen," said he, "that's all rehearsed.

When everything else fails, Mr. Howe Instructs his clients to weep and to break off and go and get a drink. I've- seen them sit for ten days with their heads In their hands, just as the defendant Is sitting now, all by Mr. Howe's orders." Just the same, when the jury was out and the wife who had been out In the hall walking a weary sentry-go with the baby In her pretty little thing, in, and the husband kissed his wife and took the baby In his arms, Mr. Wellman said: "Let's get out.

'-I can't stand this." Brave wife she was, too. When the jury came In and it was as certain as the sun in heaven that It was a conviction, Mrs. Fay wanted to stay In the room. "Send her out," said Mr. Moss.

The Executive Committee of the Business Men's Relief Committee of the Industrial Christian Alliance met yesterday at the office of Vermilye Nassau street, and sent out several thousand meal tickets. Among the letters received yesterday were several from ministers asking for food tickets. Some of them. were Rev. B.

Foley, Thirty-sixth street M. B. Church: "we have found people so weak for lack of food that they could not stand." Pastor J. B. Stansberry, Bethel African M.

E. Church, Sullivan street: "We have been caring for 140 families three weeks. Are left this week without any provision. In the name of God and humanity, I appeal to you." Rev. E.

I AWUVAUUA aniety. ancra where it 4s Jald- down. seated-teultaf ott Wan A HOSOOMMON MAN'S LUOK. He Has Only Two Shillings, but $4,000 Awaits Him in- Louisville. Thomas Igo, from the County Roscommon, Ireland, arrived on the Germanic last week.

When an Ellis Island inspector asked Mr. Igo what was the extent of his purse, the young man produced two shillings. that all?" asked tho inspector, "It Is just now," answered Mr. Igo, "but there's more a-comln'." The-Board of Inquiry doubted, out investigation showed that Igo was heir to $4,000, the legacy of an aunt who had Uon District of the Second Assembly District, the, same offense that James J. Dooley had been convicted of the day before.

Of the 271 votes Maynard got them all. Nearly the same witnesses were Tuomey, Edward Gordon, Timothy Dug-gan, Thomas J. Thompson, William Smith, Thaddeus F. Cornell, Daniel F. Ring, John Henry and Thomas S.

Ring. They swore that they had voted either the straight Republican ticket or for Bartlett against Maynard, and George Boutte and Anthony Boutte swore that they hadn't voted at all. though they were registered and somebody had voted on their names just before the polls closed. For the defense only Fay was put on. The theory was that Dooley, the wicked Dooley, already convicted, had done whatever wronsr there was.

Dooley dumped the ballots out; Dooley counted them first; Dooley said there were 263 straight Democratic votes and 8 Republican ballots straight, except as to Bartlett; Dooley did this, and Dooley did that. Fay didn't see any crooked work. If these gentlemen said they voted the Republican it was most likely true. Then came the cross-examination. Fay had had dealings with Mr, Wellman the day before on this very'-polnt, and he did the.best he could to give the Assistant District-Attorney as good as he sent.

Q. Dy Mr. bellevo these men to-day who swear that they voted the Republican ticket? A. I've no reason to doubt that they're telling the truth. Q.

Dp you believe the statement from the canvass Is true, that there were no votes for Bartlett? A. I holiovo they meant to vote the Republican ticket. Q. Ah, that Isn't It. Do you believe tho statement you signed Is true and correct? A.

Didn't I sign it? q. Yes, you did; but Is It true? Does It represent tho ballots that Into the. the men saw go Into the box? A. It represents the ballots as 1 round them. Q.

What became ot the Bartlett voles? A. Look here. Ain't that a kind ot a funny question? If I told that wouldn't I be So that's the reason you don't tell? Because you'd be proving yourself guilty? A. How can I tell you? There weren't any votes for Bartlett. Then Mr.

Wellman and the witness went through the form of doing Just as the Inspectors did election night, to show that there' couldn't be any sleight- of-hand wcrk with the votes unless Fay saw It. Then Mr. Wellman badgered Fay to tell what became of those votes. The jury took forty minutes to find him guilty, O'Donnell will be tried to- rtay. The convictions so far are: Peter Neville, John A.

Dunphy, Dennis J. Buckleyj Michael Cady, Joseph T. Ferris, Roger Jackson, James J. Dooley and Michael S. Fay.

The pleas of guilty are: James Rue, Patrick Frank Allen, Patrick Callahan and Bernard McFarland, with more to hear after the stay in Neville's case Is argued Friday. WOEK ON THE GBANT MONUMENT.
