20 THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YQBK, MONDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1901. ELECTION DAY COURT. CITY WINS A SUIT. ECHO OE MILLER'S SCHEME.

SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. MR. BRUSH SADLY MISSES MRS. BRUSH THE CYCLIST. WEAPONS ON THE TABLES WHILE THEf PLAYEQ GftRDS SEEKS NO RECONCILIATION, SAYS THE REV Jl COLLINS Declares the Reformed Episcopal Church Is Not Anxious to Unite With P.

E. Denomination. Mrs. Prentiss Sought to Recover for Personal Injuries. A jury in Pan IV of the Supremo Court, Justice D.

Cady Merrick sitting, in place of Justice Warren H. Hooker, who heard trials last week, brought in a verdict for the defendant, the City of Xcw York, in the suit brought to recover $10,000 by Mrs. Frances E. Frentiss of Hancock street, for injuries caused by her running against a pile of lumber at Flatbueh avenue and Fort Hamilton avenue on the night of September 27, 1SW. while riding on her bicycle.

The trial was had last week. Mrs. Prentiss, who is the widow of Lawyer Samuel Prentiss, testified that she saw no lights about the lumber pile that, had placed thereabouts under a permit from the city authorities. It ivas claimed by the plaintiff that the lumber had been deposited farther into the street than the permit allowed. This was denied by the city, through Assistant Corporation Counsel R.

Percy Chittenden, who appeared for the city on the trial. HARDY WANTS TO MOVE. Police Captain Is Anxious to Be Returned to the Hushing Avenue Station. It is understood that Police Captain Samuel Hardy is moving all the political and police influence he can command to get out of the Atlantic avenue police station. It i6 only a short time since Captain Hardy was transferred from the police precinct, in Newtown.

Queens, to the Fifty second Precinct, more generally known as the Atlantic precinct. Before Captain Hurdy was sent to Queens he had been for a long time In command of the Flushing avenue station and he is exceedingly anxious to get back there. The captain in charge in Flushing avenue is Edward Walsh, who was sent to Brooklyn from Harlem and he is just as anxious to get back to Manhattan as is Captain Hardy to be restored to his old command. The Atlantic avenue precinct is known as' the hoodoo district. There has been an adverse influence following the men who have been in charge there beginning with Captain John Riley, since deceased, who was dismissed from the force.

Many of the men who followed him died while in charge of the precinct, and others were stricken with illness that had a fatal termination while they were there. Among the victims of the precinct, as the superstitious on the force verily believe. were Captain William H. Folk, Sergeant William Meeks, Captain Rufus Crafts, Captain Thomas Collins and others. Captain James G.

Reynolds was Bent there after he had been transferred for a while from the command of the detective bureau. It may be that Reynolds broke the "hoodoo" for he was lucky enough to catch 520 per cent. Miller while he was in the Atlantic avenue district. It was due to the fact that Reynolds had permitted Miller to escape originally, it was alleged, that he was sent away from the detective bureau and that Captain James K. Price was put for the time in his place.

But the strong feeling that there is something uncanny about the precinct has not vanished by any means. The captain in charge just preceding Captain Hardy was Timothy White, who came from Jamaica. Captain White was informed about the reputation of the place before he had his belongings moved in and he did not risk danger, for he had hit! effects taken instead to a furnished room in a house in the neighborhood and stayed there instead of in the station. It may be that Captain Hardy is not at all afraid for he has much common sense. But he has a desire to get out of the place if he can.

It has been noticed that within the last day or two he has been more frequently in the neighborhood of the Seymour Club than he had been for some time. Senator Patrick H. McCarren. who is really the Seymour Club in the estimation of some politicians, is a very warm personal friend of Captain Hardy and it is not unlikely that the latter expects that the Senator will succeed before long in inducing Police Commissioner Murphy to send him back to Flushing avenue. Captain Walsh, late of Harlem, may have command of the Atlantic avenue district if he wants It.

for all that Hardy cares, but Hardy is quite sure that he would like to have possession of his old room in the Flushing avenue district which Walsh is now filling with satisfaction to himself and to many of the people who live in the precinct. ASPINALL'S SENTENCE DAY. County Judge Sends Prisoners Away for Long Terms No Sympathy for Some. In the County Court to day Judge Joseph Aspinall passed sentence offenders who had been before the court during the past week. When the name of Harry Lentou was called by the clerk, a gray haired man walked slowly to the bar.

In reply to questions from tire court he said that ho was o4 years old and lived at 143 Thirty eighth street, Brooklyn. Judge Aspinall said: "Lenton, you're a lucky man. Since I came on the bench 1 have changed your sentence. I and you down on my book for five years in Sing Sing, but at the earnest solicitation of the mother of the child whom you attempted to assault, I have seen fit to change the sentence. Her efforts alone have saved you from a term in the state prison.

Go to the penitentiary for a year." The charge against Lentou was that on August 17 last, he attacked Ire tic Folson and attempted to criminally assault her. lie was tried and convicted of assault in the second degree, a crimo which carries with it an extreme penally of live years. James Henry. 116 years old. of G7.S Second avenue.

Astoria, was sent to tfing Sing for five years on a conviction of grand larceny. Counsel for the prisoner pleaded for him on the ground that he has consumption and would probably die in prison if he were punished for his crime. Henry has had several hemorrhages in the Raymond street jail and he was so weak when he appeared to day that he could scarcely appear at the bar. Judge Aspinall said: "This is a sad case. The defendant is a physical wreck, but we must get him away from society.

Since 1S84, he has served four terms in prison for similar crimes and be has really spent most of his life behind bars. Five years in Sing Sing is the sentence of the court." Fred Haeslop, 20 years old, of S2." Dean street, who was Indicted on a charge of mayhem, but who pleaded guilty to assault In the third degree, was sentenced to the limit, one year in the penitentiary and a fine of $.100, or, In default, to serve one day for each dollar. Haeslop became involved in a stroot brawl and nearly bit the thumb from his adversary's right hand. He asked for mercy on the ground that his wife was in delicate condition and that she would do something desperate to herself If he was imprisoned. In sentencing the defendant Judge Aspinall said: "If I had known as much about you when you were arraigned as I do now, you would never have got off with a plea of assault In the third degree." Philip Bailey, for assault, was sent to Sing Ping on an Indeterminate sentence, the maximum of which is five years and the minimum, one year.

The prisoner was 37 years old. he said, and lived at Humboldt, street. John Johnson. IS years old, of 1 Fourth place, was sentenced to the Elmira Reforma torv on a convieilon of burglary. Sherman Mosely.

SAYS HE DIDN'T KICK THE CAT, But Young Byrnes Was Pined $3 by Magistrate Crane for "Sassing" a Policeman. Policeman Ernest Muller of the Leonard streot police station, Manhattan, arrested a fashionably dressed young man, who gave his name as Horace D. Byrnes of 434 Jefferson avenue, this borough, on Warren street, two doors east of Greenwich street, about 9 o'clock last night on a charge of cruelty to animals. The policeman said to Magistrate Crane, in the Center street court this morning: "I saw this young man ahead of me, walking up Warren street. Just as he got in front of 92 Warren street, a cat Jumped out of the doorway into the street, and the prisoner, just like ypu would take a Jump and kick a foot ball, lifted that cat into the air about four feet with his foot.

He kicked it as hard as he could. I stepped up to him and asked him what he meant by that kind of work. He pulled away from me, and said, 'You go to and began telling mo that I had no business insulting citizens; that my buttons weren't given mo to entitle me to do that sort of thing, and that he would see what Commissioner Devery thought of it. He insulted me, and so I took him into the station house." Young Byrnes, who is a law student, was accompanied by Joseph Fettretch, a lawyer, who had bailed him out last night. The latter said that Byrnes was a model young man; that he had known him for sixteen years, and didn't believe he would swear.

"That doesn't make any difference," said the Magistrate. "The question is whether or not he kicked the cat." He asked the prisoner for his version of the story. "I was going home to Brooklyn from up town," said Byrnes, "where I had been making a call, and as I went through Warren street the cat jumped out on the pavement and I sprang toward it and clapped my hands and hissed. Just like I always do, and just like one cat does to another," said Byrnes. "You don't mean to say you consider yourself a cat, do you asked the Magistrate.

"Oh, no," said Byrnes; "I just do that to scare them. I didn't come within eight feet of the cat." Magistrate Crane said that he was inclined to believe the policeman's story, and expressed himself as having no patience with persons who injure dumb animals. He said, however, that the policeman had no corroboration. 'I will not, though," he said, "hold you for trial in Snecial Sessions on this charge of cruelty to animals. Still, you must learn to make a proper show of respect to policemen when they are in discharge of their duties.

This thing of insulting policemen is wrong. I will take a charge of disorderly conduct against you and fine you." Byrnes paid a fine of $3. DEAN STREET STATION OPENED. General Manager Brackenridge Announces Resumption of BusinessThere. General Manager J.

C. Brackenridge of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company to day announced the reopening of the Dean street station on the Brighton Beach division of the elevated road. Residents of tho Bedford section in the vicinity of Dean street believe that they will be greatly convenienced by being permitted the us of the Dean street stition in traveling on the elevated line. General Manager Brackenridse said to day that he thoight the reopening of the station at Dean street was an excellent Idea and that he had been opposed to its discontinuance during the regime of former President Clinton L. Rossiter of the railroad company.

THE HARRIS DIVORCE SUIT. Former Judge Dailey Appears Before Justice Dickey to Make a Motion. The action brought by Blanche H. Harris against Charles T. Harris ot tha Celedon Roofing and Tiling Company for absolute divorce was in court again to day before Justice W.

D. Dickey in Special Term on a motion by former Judge Dailey, counsel for the plaintiff, to frame issues for a trial by jury.

Judge Dailey said that be went to Old Point Comfort himself and learned that tho books were not there. He went to Richmond, and there found that the person who controlled the books was in Vermont.

Communication had been established with that person and it would not be true to say thin in hunting up such evidence the trial was delayed. Justice Dickey granted Mr. Dalley's motion to frame issues, bringing In the question of condonation, while the motion of counsel to reduce nlimony was dnld. E. W.

The Staats Zeitung Says the Germans Will Remember His Treatment of Them in Brooklyn. The New York Staata Zeitung this morning reviewed the career of Bernard J. York as president of the Board of Police Commissioners and deputy commissioner for Brooklyn. It declares that there is every reason to believe that, if Shepard is elected mayor, York will be made police commissioner. The fact that York helped along the scheme to supplant McCullagh with Devery is also recounted.

It Is also stated that York offered no opposition to Devery's schemes in Manhattan, but only kicked over the traces when Devery and Tammany began collections at Coney Island. After York was "degraded," says the StaatB Zeitung, he made great promises for a clean administration in Brooklyn. Almost bis first act was to attack respectable German resorts like Turn Hall, Arion Hall, Schwaben Hall and Prospect Hall. Policemen were set to watch the poople at these resorts, and the uncalled for arrests were made because dancing was continued at some of their balls until after midnight. At the game time, the paper says, disreputable resorts were allowed to run without interference on Fulton street and near police headquarters on.

Smith streot. It declares that he dislikes Germans of every class and has taken no pains to conceal his dislike. ABSOLUTE DECREE GRANTED.

It is said that the. first that Sergeant McCullough or any of his men had any intimation that Captain Miles O'Reilly was doing business in their j.rc when a patrol wagon, filled with lia. pulled up iu front of Amity stivr. i'u, iac reason, a report of the raid was not posted on the slips at Police Head Quarters. It is possible that the Amity sii uet ufiicei were so busy attending to the prisoners, which came to them as a surprise, that they did not have time to inform headquarters.

Uu Saturday night a general alarm was scut out from Police Headquarters for the est of an Italian, accused of shooting a man ever in the Eastern District TVhen the D.as.age reached the Hamilton avenue station Captain O'Reilly looked it over. He calliii Detective Joseph Roberts and Acting ti ct ivo Thomas Callahan and said to them hat ho would make the round3 of the various places in his precinct where Italians congregate and possibly they might run across the man wanted for murder. Thi eapsain and the two detectives finally reached Saekeu street, the dividing lino between the Hamilton avenue and Amity Mi eci. precincts. They visited two or three places on the side of the precinct commanded by Captu.n O'Reilly, but found nobody who answered to the description of the man they "were in quest of.

In the rear basement, at ion, across the way, the captain saw a dim light. lie knew there eouid be no harm in merely making search of a building in a fellow commander's precinct, so ho crossed the street with the officers with. him. As they approached the building, a man who hau been standing at the tront door went Inside. This aroused some suspicion in the mind of the captain and ho gave orders to wait a momeiic or two.

Afu brief period the thrs officers passed into the building, the front of hich is used for an upholstering business. A glance through a crack revealed an array of weapons displayed on the tables, where a dozen men were seated. This made inn necessary in the miud of the lepiai i. and he drew his revolver. The two iec.iives did likewise.

The door was pushed epen an.l immediately there was a fur weapons by the men inside. O'Reilly declared that he would hoo: if any move was made to Injure him. Tills iir. the desired effect and no assault as attempted. The men were told that all were under arrest.

One of the detectives was sent to mimn help from the Hamilton avenue station. It was not long before George W. Rey jie.l is and Dennis Murphy arrived in a patrol wagon. Into the wagon were loaded as many of the iueti under arrest as could be accommodated and away it went to the Amity street station. When it returned it was accompanied by the Amity street station patrol wagon, in which rode Detectives Clare and Ganir t'ne same precinct.

As soon as the of the prisoners had been loaded a ons the officers gathered up six 'wo stilettos, two razors, a pair s' ven ty five packs of cards, and in money. The revolvers were il to revolver. of sll nbett: Si; large runs, of and .44 caliber. On returns sen! to court Detectives Clare rind Cannon were credited with the arrests.

She Is Gone and He Fears She Bristled Up When He Scolded Her Sharply. POLICE HAVE DESCRIPTION. Maybe Lost Wife Has Lost Kent Money She Kept Too Long in Her Purse, and Dares Not Heturn. Forty eight hours ago, Mrs. Irene Brush left both home and husband.

Her fate or whereabouts, as the caso may be. is still unknown, although the police have sent out a general alarm at her husband's request. Mrs. Brush will be remembered by Brooklyn wheelmen as the young woman who gained a great reputation, when cycling was the rage, by her long distance rides, century runs and other feats of endurance in tho saddle. That she used a wheel to disappear, her husband, William Brush, declares is untrue, the family steeds either being accounted for or resting undisturbed in their places at 1.065 Dean street, where Mr.

and Mrs. Brush have lived for a year. The last Mr. Brush saw of his wife was on Saturday morning, when ho left the apartment house steps to take a Franklin avenue car at the corner. Mrs.

Brush was then attired for the stroet, in a costume which Mr. Brush has since described in detail. She is known as a woman's hair dresser among a few families in the Bedford district, and it was on a visit to three of these that she said she was going when her husband left for New Ybrk on Saturday. The first address at which she intended stopping was S3 Hancock street, and there, Mr. Brush has ascertained, she arrived shortly before 9 o'clock.

At the other two places, no news of her was to be learned. Mr. Brush prepared the following detailed description of his wife to day, although the police have quieted his fears that his wite has met with foul play: Height, feet 6 inches; weight, 145 pounds; face, full and round; blond hair; blue eyes: fair complexion; noso retrousse; curved eyebrows; teeth large and white; eye tooth gold capped; mouth small, under lip slightly projecting; ears small and flat to head; chin dimpled. Wore black velvet hat, with black silk crown; gold buckle under the brim; dark blue silk shirt waist, tucked Iront and sleeves; turn over linen collar, with white Windsor tie, colored stripes on ends; tan covert cloth coat, waist length, tan velvet collar, tan silk serge lined, strap seams; dark blue shepherd plaid tailor made skirt, with straps on seams and around bottom; enamel leather shoes, kid top, laced; dark brown tan gloves; carried twelve inch alligator hand bag and alligator pocketbook, with from J25 to $30 therein. It is the money which furnishes Mr.

Brush with his only theory. He thinks perhaps that his wife lost it in the street and is either afraid or ashamed to come hoiue without it. "I don't know what else to think," he said this morning. "I have communicated with my wife's relatives, a sister out near Cypress Hills and a brother in South Brooklyn, without learning anything about her." "Did you have any quarrel with her?" "Not exactly a quarrel," answered Mr. Brush, "I may have spoken a little sharply to her because she had not paid the month's rent promptly when the money was right there in her pocket bock for the purpose.

That's what makes me think possibly she has lost the money and is afraid to return, for fear I'll be angry. I'm too anxious to have her back to be angry at anything." Before going out on Saturday morning, Mrs. Brush asked her husband if he would be home by noon. He said that he would and he was as good as his word, but Mrs. Brush did not appear.

He waited in vain and finally, when various relatives sent word that they had not. seen the young woman notified the police. Yesterday morning the police of the Grand avenue station sent out a general alarm, with full description, but up to the present hour there has been no answering response. It was only last month that Mr. and Mrs.

Brush figured in a newspaper story, Mr. Brush having punched tho face of a man who made a slighting remark about his wife. That was at Hi Bedford Rest, Bedford avenue and Easter parkway, late In September. Mrs. Brush is well known in wheeling circles aud among the other possessions of the Brush household is a large scrap book well filled with newspaper clippings, descriptive of her achievements on Long Island roads.

Of late she has ridden little and at present her cycling outfit hangs in ono of the closets of the Dean street apartment. WILL OF OWEN EAGKEN.

During the meeting of the Synod of New York and Philadelphia of the Reformed Episcopal Church, in the Church of the Reconciliation, Nostrand and Jefferson avenues, there was a deliverance regarding the report that the Reformed Episcopal Church was seeking reconciliation with the Protestant Episcopal Church. The action of tho Synod, which stoutly denied this, was published in full, and was decidedly on the negative side. The matter was brought up at the recent session of the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in San Francisco. The Rev. W.

Russell Collins, pastor of the Church of the Reconciliation, yesterday morning preached a sermon on "The Unalterable Position of tho Reformed Episcopal Church; an Answer to the Report of the Committee on the Orders of the Reformed Church, Recently Convened in San Francisco." In the course of his address Mr. Collins spoke earnestly. He said: "ihe report is heard that the Reformed Episcopal Church is seeking reconciliation' to the Protestant Episcopal Church. And this foundationlcss rumor leads me to stato the true and unalterable position of the Reformed Episcopal Church. Having been lor many years a clergyman of that church, aud intimate wltn the touuaers, leading men ana an tne anairs ol the churcn since the organization, 1 may assume to know some tmng aoout the matter and to speak with some degree of autnorlty the aumority of Knowleage.

The Reiormed Episcopal Church is not seeking, and since the aay of separation has never sought, nor even thought of reconciliation to, or with, or irom tue olaer body known as the Protestant Episcopal Church. More than that, the Reformed Episcopal Church never will seek such a reconciliation. It is an absolute impossibility. That the Protestant Episcopal Church is seeking such a reconciliation I cannot denv. But it is an utter hopeless seeking and without the least glimmer of sncouragemenL "Why, then, was the subject of reconciliation debated in the twenty first annual council of our New York and Philadelphia Synod, which convened a week ago in this church? The debate, if suoh it may be called, was unanimously on one side, and that the moat positively negative side.

The subject was discussed In our council because the statement had been made in the Protestant Episcopal General Convention, then convening in San Francisco, in effect that the Reformed Episcopal Church is seeking reconcilation to the Protestant Episcopal Church, a statement absolutely without foundation and utterly untrue, and which our council found it necessary to deny and challenge. "My authority for saying that tho Protestant Episcopal Church is seeking such a reconciliation Is twofold. First, as may be learned from the official publications, tho general convention of the church retains a committee 'on the orders of the Reformed Episcopal That committee is at rresent composed of tho bishops of Kentucky, Dudley; Pennsylvania, Whitakor; New York, Potter; Missouri, Tuttle; Western Michigan. Gillespie; the Rev. Drs.

Prall Jewell and Greene, Messrs. Burgwln and Mr. Collins went on to say that "this committee Is not retained for the purpose of inquiring concerning our orders for that inquiry could have been made in a few short hours. The Inquiry has been made. And the unavoidable verdict is that if their own orders are valid, so, too, must be ours.

This is a matter of very small importance to us who repudiate the erroneous doctrine that a tactual apostolic succession is essential to a valid ministry. But it is of great importance to them, who desire to retain within their own ecclesiastical bounds this cherished alleged position." Mr. Collins eave as his second Aurhnvif a Philadelphia newspaper and the Church oianuaro ana quoted from both, in which it was stated that correspondence between leaders in both churches had been going on, and then at length defended the standards of the Reformed Episcopal Church as being beyond challenge, spoke of tho impossibility of the reconciliation on account of fundamental differences of doctrinal position and closed as follows: "Many years ago it was predicted that our church would not live to the age of ten years. But we are here to day, nearly three times that age, 10,000 strong and more. and growing.

And we are here to stay. Wei are the only catholic, llturn lc i iuiesiaiii jupiiuxjai unurcn, and in this lies our hope. We have more wealth than might have been expocted in so brief a career, but the straitest poverty were preferable to the abandonment of our position The Reformed Episc pal Church is here to stay forever, while the world endures a witness to evangelical truth." WOMAN DIES FROM BURNS. Mis. Annie Pox, Enveloped in Rushed Through the Street Among Church People.

Members of the congregation of All Souls' Universalist Church, while leaving the edilice yesterday after the morning service, were confronted by the startling and horrifying spectacle of Mrs. Annie Fox, 26 years old, of 56 South Ninth street, entirely enveloped in flames. Mrs. Fox, who lived at that address with her httBband and their one child, was engaged in cookine dinner, and while removing meat from the oven some of the grease overturned on the hot stove and immediately ignited. Her clothing caught fire, and, after vainly trying to extinguish the blaze, she became panic stricken, and, before she could be prevented, rushed from the house.

She was then entirely onveloped in a blaze. She rushed through the streetB like a human torch. The church people were horrified. Directly behind the woman ran William McKenzie, a tenant living In the same house, with a blanket, which he threw about the blazing form of the woman as she sank exhausted to the sidewalk. He managed to smother the flames, and then, with the aid of others, tore away the burning clothing.

Mrs. Fox was terribly burned, and in response to a call, Dr. Smith of the Eastern District Hospital responded. He removed the woman to the hosoltal. Her death occurred early this morning.

MARY JENNINGS GOES TO AUBURN Mary Jennings, who was sentenced to life imprisonment last week for murder in the second degree, and who became very ill from heart trouble In the Grand Central Depot Friday, while being taken to Auburn, was sufficiently recovered this morning to be taken away from Ballevue Hospital, where she has been since her sudden illness.

She was taken from Bellevue accompanied by Dr. John Gerde of Auburn and a female keeper of that institution..
