In the suit of George W. Wheeler against Gilbert Fleet of Red Creek, for ejectment, the jury gave plaintiff $10. In the caso of the East Northport Farmers' Produce Manufacturing Company against John Aueiadors, judgment was given to plaintiff in the sum of $338.80. In the suit of Edward A. Gates against Alexander S.

Gardiner, to recover the cost of a stack of rye that was burned while being threshed by defendant's machine, the jury decided that both had sustained losses about equal and failed to find a verdict. Emil AVeinberger sued Isaac H. Green of Sayville to recover damages for false arrest and imprisonment, and the jury awarded him the full amount claimed, $325. The Grand Jury was kept busy until a late hour last night in taking the testimony of members of the Salvation Array from Southampton, who are trying to get Indictments against Sheriff Benjamin B. Wood of this village and Deputy Sheriff Otto R.

Gottwald, also of R'iverlhead, for preventing the Salvationists of Southampton from entering their hall contrary to an order ot tho village Board of Health. NOMINATED FOR CONGRESS. Jacksonville to ecure a. Iresh supply in advance of the arrival of the wagons. It was with no slight difficulty that this was accomplished, for the whole seven miles was strewn with fallen trees and telegraph poles.

Jacksonville reached. Major J. E. Pilcher, the medical supply officer, was Boon found This efficient officer rose at once to the occasion. He turned out his entire supply of blankets, and, more than that, he hunted up quartermasters' blankets, which technically he had no right to issue, but which he had loaded at once upon the wagons, saying that he would supply the necessary covering for the patients first and telegraph the Secretary of "War afterward for authority to do so.

All formalities of red tape were dispensed with without commemt. The proper thing to do was done at once, and no time wasted even in malting out Invoiced. A stroke of the pen in making the signature of the chief surgeon to a receipt in duplicate, who thus divided the responsibility with the supply officer, was the only formality in the whole transaction, and in a very short time a thousand dry blankets were on the way to the Third Division Hospital, together with two hundred ponchos and a generous supply of brandy; the latter, by the way, of a quality seldom procured in civil practice, for the United States government to day Is supplying the sick in hospitals with better 'brandy and more of it than any civil hospital would dream of supplying. In fact, such brandy can seldom be procured in these days, lor it is from the stock that was lert over from the Civil War, and in those days it was the best that could be bought. This, however, is only on a par with the generous manner in which the heads of the Medical Department have sought to furnish supplies for the sick and wounded.

A Gould or a Vanderbilt could not buy medicine of a better quality, and the most fastidious surgeon never handled finer instruments than those contained in the supply chests for field work. Again and again the medical supply officer of this corps has purchased what was needed in an emergency, and telegraphed for authority after the goods were bought, and In every Instance the authority has been given without question. "Whoever has accused the department of niggardliness In this particular knows not whereof he speaks. The work of restoring the tents of the nurses and Sisters of Charity was entered upon with a will. The men of the Second South Carolina worked side by sloe with those of the Fourth Illinois, and the men of the Sixth Missouri with those of the One Hundred and Sixty first Indiana, In rendering this gallant service.

Next in importance to their sick comrades came the women, and in a remarkably short time long rows of white canvas tents attested the completeness of their work. In the meanwhile sad havoc had been wrought with their own temts. Drenched to the skin, they returned to their own cheerless camps and set a'bout rehabilitating the latter. The rain is still driving down, hut these men are making the hest of the situation, as shown by the camp fires about which they make an effort to dry their clothes. Within the radius of its warmth they manage to exact some cheer from the environment and there is not a man of them who does not feel as proud of his day's work as if he had faced the Spanish Mausers in the block houses of San Juan or the deadly unseen fire from the trenches before Santiago.

Professor David P. Todd's Narrative of Several Expeditions to Observe These Phenomena. The meetings of the Department of Astronomy of the Brooklyn Institute were inaugurated last evening with a lecture by Professor David P. Todd, Ph. of Amherst College, who Is recognized as one of our leading authorities on the observation and study of eclipses.

Part of his lecture was devoted to the expeditions 1SS7 to Japan, of 1889 to Africa and of 1896 again to Japan, with which he was personally connected. The results achieved in Nova Zembla and Eastern Siberia in 1896 and those of the current year in India were also touched upon, while some interesting forecasts were given of the eclipses which will take place within the next triennium. Dr. Todd stated that the path of a total ediipse across the earth's surface is about a hundred miles in width. Astronomers like to station themselves in the center of the path, for there the eclipse period is longest.

The scientific value of an eclipse lies in the fact that at such times solar phenomena of an extraordinary character are revealed. When the moon hae completely obscured the solar surface the fires of the corona flash out like a crown of glory, the rosy solar prominence ot hydrogen or other gaseous substances come into view, and neibulae like streamers are shoi millions of miles into space. The inatrumems chiefly employed to observe these phenomena are the photographic camera and the spectroscope used in connection with the telescope. All che work must be done within the very short period, sometimes only a minute, oi total obscuration; and practice as one may beforehand, it is not in human nature to endure the Intense strain of the moment without a silp of some sort. Astronomers of high rank have been known to become so' excited at the critical moment that they failed to take off the top of the camera.

On his expedition to Japan in 1SS7 Professor Todd eliminated the personal equation by devising a machine for the au'tomatic oper ation ot cue cameras. tnis purpose an automatic parlor organ was deprived of its reeds and fitsed with a barrel, the pin holes of which corresponded to the moveraen'ts of the camera shutters, etc. All 'the processes or the observation were arranged In a 'table and opposite each was Written number of pin strokes required. Compressed air was used the first to convey the impact from the organ to the different parts of the cameras, but in the expedition of 1890 electricity "was substituted. The next toal eclipse.

Professor Todd said, will take place in this country on May 28. 1900. Its path is from Xew Orleans througn the Southern states to a poiuv little somth ot Norio.k, Va. Althougn it last but little more than a minute, probably a hundred parties ot American scientists will be organized to observe it. and there will also be many from abroad.

The best stations will be those In the Georgia and Alabama table lands, where cloudy weather is less frequent than on the coast. In May 1901. there will be an eclipse lasting several minuses ui iu ir uu siuiimra, ooraeo and Celibes. Professor Todd advised the members of the department to organize an expedition to the eclipse of 1900. NEWS FROM THE SUBURBS.

A FORGIVING "WIFE.

i i i i Picturesquely Described by Major George R. Fowler of Brooklyn. ALL HOSPITAL TENTS SAVED. Everybody Turned Out in the Storm to Help the Four Hundred Sick Men, Whose Canvas Covering Threatened to Disappear at Every Gust Heroic "Work by Women Nurses No Lack of Prompt Belief After the Storm. The Eagle has received from Dr.

George R. Fowler, the eminent surgeon this city, a letter written in Florida, where Dr. Fowler is now stationed as chief surgeon ol the Third Division, Seventh Army Corps, commanded by General Fitzhugh Lee. Major Fowler gives a description of the cyclone's effect in General Lee's camp, which is of keen interest. His letter follows: Panama Park, Florida, October 2, 1898.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: This is a day long to be remembered. The Signal Service had warned us of the approach of a violent storm, and every effort was made to prepare for its advent. It came, and is still raging, although, thank Heaven, with diminished force. It is still sweeping across the peninsula, and at this moment my office tent is rocking to and fro with repeated and vicious gusts. During the night I was awakened by the rain pouring upon my tent and the creaking of the guy ropes as the canvas strained and tugged at its fastenings.

I sat up on the edge of the cot and reflected for a time upon what was best to do. I finally concluded do nothing except lie down again. This was about 2 o'clock. There was very little sleep for anyone after that. The wind rose higher and higher, and by daylight it was blowing briskly.

But up to 8 o'clock in the morning no one felt any apprehension. We all had breakfast, although the meal was far from being a comfortable one, for the gust of wind blew the rain through the netting in the open sides of our mess house. Finally Major Long street and a detail of men procured a portion of canvas from a dismantled tent and secured it so as to shut out a portion of the water, although it was running in streams through the roof and into our food. Feeling apprehensive of the hiOspiDjul tenitis, I ordered a Dougherty wagon an a team of mules from the corral by an orderly. There was same delay in procuring this, to the fact that wagons, harness and mules were en'tangjed in an almost inextricabie miass of debris, consisting of the wreck of the paiULn, or canvas shelter and am arbor of boughs which the teamsters had bul'jt to protect the animals from the hot sun dur ing the sultry weather we have reoentiy experienced.

At. last we started, the gale increasing la force every miomeat, untie it seemed as if cbje wagon would blow over. It was difficult lor the mules even, sure footed animals as they are, to keep their feet and make headway in the driving rain. But, between the black snake whip pjied by 'Che negro teamstter and the vigorous oaths of the totter, we progressed fairly rapidly. By this time the occupants of aM the a djoining camps were impelled by the same thought, apparently, jtnd from all directions the companies ran in the direction of the hospital.

They swarmed up the hill upon which the hospital tents stood like flies, their rubber ponchos streaming behind them. As we oame in sight of the temts a remarkable scene greeted us. The tents still held, but clinging to the guy ropes were hordes of soldiers, striving by main force to keep the canvas to the ground. They held on the ropes, to the canvaa, and some even climbed up on the ridge pote, in their dettemiittaitlon to hold the teats down. Thlufc of it.

More four hundred sick and helpless human beings, at Ueaat 70 per cent, of whom were in the different stages of typhedi fever, wore beneatth the flapping, struggling canvas, amd nothing between them and the pitiless storm save the debermlmed and almost superhuman efforts of their comrades. Every precaution had been taken, in anticipation of Just such a storm aa this, but the light, porous sandy soil raited to hold the tent pegs and they dragged out with the force of the terrific strain upon ichem almost as fast as they were driven in. The temts had been guarded by rails, but even this did not suffice. Here and there a tall pine swayed and beat In the wind and threatened to falj upon the temts and crush rheir occupamibs. Squads of men were at once organized to avert 'tfhis 'Bhreatened danger.

Ropes were hurriedly procured from the corrals, brave men clitaoed the 'trees and fastened the ropes sufficiently higih to secure a. good leverage, wihile willing hands grasped the rope and tugged upon it ag'ainst 'tie roaring blasts. Axes were brought, and the 'tree quickly felled, coming down wit'h a crash, 'fflie direction of tine fall being guided fey the stay ropes. It may be Imagined wit'h wbat force the gale struck tlhe hill wnen it is stated that the reception teats to wthich, being empty, no especial attention was paid, were torn down at almost the first gust. These tents are only occupied for a short time In the early morning, 'dhe patients being distributed to tine various wards as they are broug'ht in by 'the am bul'ances from tihe surrounding camps.

Surgeons, nurses, officers, hospital corps men and privates from the regiments camped In tthe vicinity all worked together. I found Drs. De Forest and "Warb'aisse, from the Methodist Episcopal Hospital in Brooklyn, with drenched cloches, hurrying hfther and thither witih ax in hand, driving tent pegs and hauling down on the guy ropes. Drs. Saleeby and Ohamlberl'am.

from flhe Brooklyn Hospital, were equally indefatigable in their efforts to save x'heir patients from impending peril. Privates, corporals, sergeants, captains, majors, colonels and brigadier generals all clung to the ropes like grim deaeh. There Was no distinction of rank or choice of ptece in this grand struggle. All were upon the same level here. Tho effort could scarcely be said to he an organized one, for the wind blew first from one dlreotion and then from another, and at times it seemed to blow from all quarters at once.

Everybody seemed to know by instinct Just whait to do; as t'he great canvas stretches swayea nrst in one direction and Chen in another, the wei'g'ht of scores of men was brought to bear to keep shelter over the prostrate forms 'Within. The brave women nurses passed from one end of the long wards to the otiher, quieting 'the fears of uhe terrified patients; the wind howled and roared both inside and out, and one could almost imagine that a great demon 'had these fifty great tents in his teodh and was striving to rend them in shreds. The supervisor of nurses, Miss Copeland, from tho Seney Hospital, passed from ward to ward, now out In t'he driving, drenching rain, now reassuring t'he nurses in charge of the wards, and again pushing her way through the struggling mass of humanity about the tents to some point wHiere especial danger threatened. The tents occupied by the nurses and the Bisters of Charity, forty three of whom arrived yesterday, were soon blown away. Camp stools, wash basins, articles of attire, and feere and there a small looking were mingled with guy ropes and tent pegs.

The medical officers' tents fared no better. Amid the wreckage of canvas lay hand satchels and dress su'lt cases, saddles and bridles, blankets and mosquito bars. No one thought of doing anything to save such things from the common destruction, but all efforts were concentrated upon protecting the patients. Tho white head dress and black habits of the Sisters of Charity mingled with the drenched and bedraggled gingham uniforms of the women nurses and blue shirted enlisted men touched elbows with shoulder straps and gold lace. The two hundred patients in the wooden pavilions just finished were in a pitiable condition.

These buildings are as substantially built as such buildings usually are. being battened over jcuits of the boarding and wit'h roofs covered with tar paper. But the wind caught the latter and tore it from its fastenings, and soon the rain poured Kn streams down upon the cots. These were moved about, but to little purpose. Rubber blankets and ponchos were collected and Uhe cots covered with these, but it seemed almost impossible to keep the men dry.

At last the violence of the gale subsided. As fast as men could be spared from the ropes efforts were made to secure cue tents by passing lines in different directions to tbe trees. Additional security was thus obtained. The rain, however, had blown in upon the patients, and tho available supply of extra blankets was 60on esfcausted. Escort wagons were ordered up and placed in charge of a onunJs8ioned officer, while I hurried off to HAMLET ADAMS.

Hempstead, L. October (1 At the home of Mr. and Mrs. GeorgeW. Adams chiH viil.igf, last evening, their daughter.

Miss Ina Adcic Adams, was married to Charles Seward Hamlet by the Rev. J. E. Holmes, pastor of the Methodist Church. The bride was given away by her father.

October The emi an nual meeting of the Brooklyn South District Association of the Woman's Foreign Mission ary Society t'he Xew York East Confer enee was held in the South MeLhodist Episcopal Church yesterday afternoon and evening.

Over a hundred members of the society, representing a large number of south side villages, were present. The visitors were entertained at a luncheon served by the women of the church at 12:30, and at 2:30 the meeting 'began. The opening service was conducted by the president, Mrs. W. C.

Smith. An address of welcome was delivered by the Rev. Herbert B. Hunson, pastor of the church. Mrs.

J. F. At wood responded for the association. The report of the secretary, Mrs. R.

W. Jone3, was very complete and satisfactory, showing a large and activo membership and a corresponding amount of zeal on the part of all the sub societies. Mrs. F. Holsten, the treasurer, submitted a report, which was not less satisfactory, inasmuch as it demonstrated a healthful financial condition.

After the appointment of several committees came one minute reports from auxiliaries, conducted by Mrs. C. H. Gaston, district secretary. The reports were ainiost without exception extremely encouraging and the terse, crisp manner in which they were given made them exceedingly interesting.

Following the reports came an informal discussion of the question, "How can we impress the auxiliaries with their need of and responsibility in the district meetings?" Quite a number of the representatives took a part in the discussion, which at times was spirited and helpful throughout. A very strongly written and useful sketch, entitled "Room Thirteen prepared by Mrs. S. J. Herhen and read by Mr.s J.

H. Ferguson, was the ninth nunvber on the afternoon programme. It was followed by "A Talk to Young Women," given by Miss Florence Judd Anderson, who in addressing her young women hearers described herself as "one them." Her address was not in the least light or trifling, and, while not goody goody, appealed to the best side of the young women's natures and evidently made a strong Impression upon them.
