IS NOT JARVIS' DAUGHTER. COOLER, BUT MORE SHOWERS. A Low Temperature Due to the Ocean Breezes. People who' arose early this' morning were treated to a surprise in the way of weather conditions. Yesterday the temperature, was warm and real summer weather prevailed.

To day there was a different story to teM. The weather was like that which one enjoys in the which had only one pair of oars apiece and no rowlocks. At a distance of two hundred feet the dories disappeared from view, and ri the.men the smack began to cast around "'tor some method of attracting attention to themselves. The search revealed a number of newspapers, some kerosene and a megaphone. Standing on the deck the men saturated the.

paper with the oil and made large beacons of flame which swung frantically about, endeavoring to attract attention. At the same time cries for help were hurled the megaphone. Seven Men. Taken From the Schooner by a Tug. Their efforts were rewarded by the approach 'of a tug, which loomed up out of the darkness about 200 feet away.

The crew of the tug were made to understand the fact that a number of land lubbers, who didn't know a. belaying pin from a jib boom, were on. board a' stranded vessel. Men from the 'were, soon aboard the smack, and ropes A' Dying Mother Would Like to See Her Again. Rose McElroy, 28 years old, has been missing from her home at 458 Grand street since Wednesday, July 7.

Her mother, who is old and infirm, is on her death bed and in the opinion of the family Miss McElroy's prolonged absence is hastening the end. Miss McElroy, who is a tall young woman, with dark hair, stated when she left home that she was going to an employment agency In Now York to look for work. She is a cook by occupation. She did not leave the address of the agency with the family. Recently she wrote her people a short note stating that she had procured a position somewhere in Rhode Island and that she was going there.

That was the last they heard from her. "We do not fear that anything has befallen Rose," said her sister in law to a reporter of the Eagle this morning. "She is well able to take care of herself and Is probably in some place on Rhode Island. It is Just possible that she may not write us for nome weeks. Her mother is ill, however, 'and has become alarmed, about her, and has expressed a last wish to see her.

Death may come at any moment. That is why we have inserted an advertisement in the papers to the effect that Rose is wanted home at once." A PRESIDENTIAL PARDON. H. C. Allls, the Second Convict Thus Released Reoently The Rev.

Mr. Lewis' Case. Horace Q. Allis left the Kings County Penitentiary this morning, under a pardon granted by President MoKlnley. This is the second federal paTdon that has been received in Brooklyn this month: Allis, is it said, was a vice president of a bank In Arkansas.

He was sentenced by Judge Walter H. Sanborn of Little Rock to a term of five years' imprisonment for violating the revenue statutes, the offense being in the nature of a defalcation, it is said. He was received in the Kings County Penitentiary on June 5, 1895, and would have been released on January 5, 1899, had he not been pardoned. Allis was detailed to the hospital in the penitentiary and later placed in charge of the prison annex. He is spoken of well by the prison officials.

In speaking of this pardon this morning, Charities Commissioner Charles J. Henry said to an Eagle reporter: "While the President is scattering pardons among the prlson ehs of the government, I would like someone to call his attention to a man we have in the penitentiary, whose lot, in my opinion, is hard. This prisoner is Charles W. Lewis, a colored minister, who was sentenced by Judge D. M.

Key, In Chattanooga, in April, 1894, to serve two years each on fourteen separate commitments. The offense is stated as that of presenting false claims for oen slons and forgery. Had Lewis been to twenty eignt years, he would have been granted the usual commutation time of eleven years. He is sentenced under fourteen commitments, under each of which he receives but four months, or only four years and eight months In all. He Is a good prisoner and I think It is pretty nearly time a pardon should come for him.

His sentence is a hardship. The President appears to be good to men who steal fortunes and who have friends to work their cause, and I hope he will be good to this man who Is friendless and who has, in my Judgment, served time enough. His offense could not have been very serious yhen two years was the that could have been given, under any of the counts and certainly not more henious than that of men w5ho have "been pardoned and whose term of imprisonment has not been over a few years. If the President wants to be generous to an unfortunate fellow creature who is without friends or hone, the Rev. Charles W.

Lewie, as his letters call him, presents an excellent opportunity. CALLED TO STATEN ISLAND. I The Rev. Sydney Welton, Formerly of Centennial Baptist Church. The Rev.

Sydney Welton, formerly pastor of the Centennial Baptist Church of this city, has been called to the pastorate of the Bapi Church at Mariners' Harbor, S. I.

The English Press Comments Freely on the Attempt to Pass a Law of Associations Bill. London, July 26 The English newspapers devote a good deal of space to the situation in Germany and record, with thinly disguished satisfaction, the defeat of the emperor in the Prussian Diet over the law of associations bill. The Globe says: "The struggle in which Emperor William has Just been defeated is a coniflct between himself and his people. It is to be wished, rather than confidently anticipated, that he may have the wisdom to accept his discomfiture with dignity and good temper." The Pall Mall Gazete says: "The vote is a significant rebuff. But Frederick the Great always had his way and William the Greatest must not lag behind.

The little facts that there is no Frederick the Great now, that universal suffrage exists In Germany and Prussia, and that people will talk nowadays, don't count." The Westminster Gazette says: "The kaiser has had a very nasty check In his own country. is a strong protest against the attempt to place power in the hands of officialdom at the expense of civil liberty." The St. James Gazette says: "The Germans will stan'd a good deal of dragooning, but there are limits. They won't be treated like Russians and Turks." WERE NOT COUNTERFEITERS.

"A meeting of the directors of the company was held to Mr. Ravestyne said, 'and the question of the Forty second Street Ferry was discussed, but nothing definite was decided upon and the ferry to that New York thoroughfare is still a thing of the future. The new boat is to be run between Twenty third street, and the Eastern District The new slip was to have been opened to day, but the bad weather has put the work back.

If the weather is dry it is probable the'hew slip will be opened by next Monday." "I am not prepared to say," Secretary Ravestyne said, "to what extent the company will Increase the ferry service after the slip opens. We don ot want to promise what wo may not be able to accomplish. The new slip is 200 feet wide at Kent avenue. All the heavy traffic, horses and wagons, will come out through this slip, and the other slip will be used as an entrance for vehicles. Foot passengers may use either slip.

The boats on the Twenty third street line are often hampered by the swift tide that runs at this point and thrown out of position If the slips are not clear. We hope by the use of the new slip to remove this difficulty." FINED FOR GAMBLING. When Detected Duhigg Hid Himself Under a Bed.

Wife of Mr. the Girl Who" Was Taken in Male Attire in Pennsylvania Is of Weak Mind The Young Man's Parents Say That He Is Married to the "Girl Going Soutli lor Employment. (Special to the Eagle.) Lancaster, July 26 The Eagle correspondent to day interviewed theyoungBroek lyn runaway couple who were arrested on Saturday afternoon, as announced In yesterday's Eagle, while traveling In a freightcar. It Will be remembered that the girl was in male attire and her peculiar appearance was what led to th arrest of both. The girl gave her maiden name as Jaryis and the young man Bald his name was J.

D. Pearce. The couple are still in jail here. The girl says that she Is the daughter of Joseph Jar vis, a tobacco inspector of Clinton and Water streets. New York, and that when she left home he had a residence at Bath Beach, Brooklyn.

She tells a sensational story, alleging that her father objected to the marriage and that she was driven from home by him. Pearce, the young man, gave his Brooklyn address as 597 Fourth avenue, Brooklyn. James De Witt Pearce, the young man 19 years of age, who was arrested at Lancaster in company with a young woman dressed in male attire, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Will lam Pearce, who occupy the top flat of 697 Fouath avenue.

Mrs. Pearce said to an Eagle reporter this afternoon concerning the escapade of her son: "The young woman in whose company my son was found Is his w(fe. Her name is Irene and she is the daughter of Joseph Jarvis, a wholesale tobacconist on Clinton street. New York. They were married two years ago at the Seventeenth Street Episcopal Church by the Rev.

Mr. Wellman. It was a boy and girl freak. They had a child about a year ago. My son was employed as a bookkeeper for Mr.

Jarvis for' a and last winter as bookkeeper for a hotel down in Florida. He came on here to get work but being unsuccessful started to return to Florida with his wife. Neither my husband nor myself knew of the destination of my son and his wife at the time of their departure, although he bad talked of returning to Florida and said that If he had his wife with him down there they could make more money. "They had a good home with us, but. we could not afford to support them.

My husband is a pie baker and wo have eight children. My son was brought up as a member of the Twelfth Street Reformed Church Sunday school graduated from the Seventh Avenue Public School. He had little money when he left us, and I suppose his wife dressed in male attire so that they could both work their way on the freight trains." J. E. Jarvis of 11 Middagh street, the person referred to in the Lancaster dispatch, Is lying dangerously ill at his home.

An Eagle reporter saw Mrs. Jarvis, who said of the girl "About eight years ago Mr. Jarvis took this girl out of a home to act as nurse for his daughter, then 3 years old, whose mother died when she was an Infant. The only name 1 ever knew her by was Sadie. Who' her parents were I doubt if anybody She was In Mr.

Jarvis' family perhaps two, years. I have never seen her nor has 6he been near our house for fully five years. "She must be about 19 years old, and as Mr, Jarvis Is only 35 It can readily be seen that she is not his daughter. What I know of her I have learned from Mr. Jarvis, who feels very badly over the notoriety she has brought upon him.

I should say that the girl Is not in her right mind, for she has been committed to an asylum for the weakmindea two or three times. "Mr. Jarvis has several times helped her wjhen she has seen hard times, and on several occasions he has paid board bills for her when she has had no money to meet them. "She once went to a large hotel and ran up such a bill. But this is the first time, I believe, that she has ever used Mr.

Jarvis' name. She always went under the name of Pierce, or Price. It is, perhaps, two years since we have heard from her in any way, and whether she is married or not we cannot say." It is understood that Mr. Jarvis was until last May a resident of Bath Beach, where about ten years ago he purchased a handsome home on Bay Eighteenth street. In May last he rented the house and moved to the Middagh street address.

Efforts of the Bears Frustrated at the Opening. LIVELY TRADING FOLLOWS. The Settlement of the Tariff Uncer tainty Strengthens the Operations of Large Holders of Various 'Securities, Who' Promptly Check the Downward Tendency London Inclined to Growl at the New Tariff. Differences of opinion as to the result qt the passage of the tariff bill produced an irregular market on the stock exchange today. The room traders and professional speculators were in main views are usually limited by the' four walls of the board room, and their operations being generally for.

quick turns are based on the temper of the market from hour to hour. They are great advocates of the quick profits theory. Arguing from previous experience these people all bolleved that, the market must sell off on the actual realization of the hope that congress would pass the tariff bill last week. Acting on this theory' they were earnest in their advice to "get out at the opening," and came down themselves prepared to sell everything. Arrayed against these men were others who have believed that uncertainty In regard to the tariff had been teh cloud over the market and that the advance that has come in the past week had been In spite of the congressional unknown quantity.

This class is composed of men who go in at the first signs of better conditions, and as their stocks are well protected and there has been nothing to show that their early opinions were not correct, they are content to maintain their position, waiting for further profits. Then there were some who have realized on their operations and have watched for a chance to take on a line of stocks whenever a chance was afforded. At the opening there was some profit taking, which, together with sales for the short account, brought prices down in some instances to the limit of shop orders. The decline was arrested, however, before it had reached an average of 1 cent, from the opening prices, and it was plain that there were good buying orders in. The market became Irregular and then stiffened up, and soon was almost buoyant.

The volume of business continued very large throughout the morning, 253,800 shares changing hands up to noon. Brokers were in a Jubilant mood over the Increased business and expressed the opinion that the dullness which has prevailed for such a long time Is at an end.

Thirty in Line at Aqueduct Despite the Boycott of the Metropolitan Turf Association. (Special to the Eagle.)

Some of the cashiers are on hand, however, collecting money due and transacting other business.

The smack slipped on wuu the greatest ease, and then the frightened 'iVhermen were taken off' the smack to toe tug and the whole outfit towed into port. Those taken from the sinacK were Thomas 62 Thirty seventh street; Joseph Thompson. 207 Stockton street; Robert jnsner, Thomas Holland, of 63 Thirty seventh Btreet; William Hurley, John Piatt ana one otner, whose name is not known. "The tug which came to the rescue was the C. E.

Bvarts, Captain William Brandow in "command; she belongs' to Dutch Son of 62 South street, New York. When, the tug reached Pier. 13. East River, with the smack in tow rumors spread that all the men tn the dories had been drowned. It soon became noised about that a smack with about fifty on board had gone to pieces off Sandy Hook and about fifty men drowned.

Later in the morning the Wallace B. Flint landed in New York with ten men aboard, which had been picked up from one of the dories. They were Henry Doering, 100 Four rteenth street, Charles and Philip Kappeser of 415 East Fifteenth street, New York, Law rence 1 Cody of 124 Twentieth street, Gus Daum of 415 East Fifteenth street, New York, E. Duckfleld of 2,507 Eighth avenue. New York; Robert Fisher, 141 Twenty third street; William Cors of 123 Thirty second street, Tom Cragin and Charles Michel of 124 Thirtieth street, The Flint says that she was signalled by boat No.

20 and asked if she had found a. dory with men struggling in the The Flin't replied that she did not, but set to work and soon found the dory. The other dory was picked up by Pilot Boat No. 20 and the excursions were landed at St. George, Staten Island.

In that party were Captain MoGroorey, Joseph Snyder, Daniel Mahoney, Lester Mahoney, William Manning, John Scott, Charles Dunn, John Richards, John F. Martin and the two mates. They reached Brooklyn shortly before noon. Captain MoGroorey Criticised. Captain McGroorey's aofi'on In deserting the loa.t and his passengers is severely censured '''by the fishing captains around Fulron Market.

One of 'them said that while the Georgiana Young was an old 'tub, anyway, McGoo rey ahou'ld have remained on board under any circumstances. The Georgfana Young is owned by the Fulton Fish Company of Fulton Market. She has 'been used in the fishing business for over thirty years and was regarded as staunch and seaworthy. This season her owners decided that she was too small for the business and withdrew her from the trade. They leased her to Edward M'cGoorey, who was well known as a fishing master and navigator, has been using her for taking out fishing parties to the banks.

"No, we haven't seen the captain," said a member of the firm this morning. "We want to see him, though. Perhaps he can tell us why he ran away and left his boat and pas eengers in the lurch. The only thing we know is that we have received a bill from Murray Dutch, the owners of the tug, for towing the Young into port." 'Charles Echoltz of 124 Thirtieth street, Boua Brooklyn, and Thomas Cregam, also South Brooklyn, the two members of the crew of the Georgiana Young, were among the ten men rescued by the tug B. 1 Flint.

"The xnen were hauled from the tug boat at Pier 17, East River. They were almost famished and made fcT the nearest restaurants In South street, New York, as fast ss they could. They presented a battered and worn out appearance. Echoltz, who is a big, good riatured fellow, said that he and Oregan had been hired by the captain of the smack on Saturday. Ho denied that there had been any drinking on board the smack and said that all hands were sober from the time they left the foot of Thirty ninth street, Sou till Brooklyn, until they ran ashore.

"The captain left the smack in the first boat," said Echoltz, "and we put off with eight members of the excursion party in the second dory. had no provisions and were without water. We saw nothing of the dory lh which the captain left the smack, and we drifted about helplessly until after 2 o'clock the morning. The water was very rought and we wefe drenched to the skin. To add to this there was a hole in the bottom of our dory and even after we plugged it up we had to keep, bailing the water out.

I don't know whether there was only one oar originally to the dory we had or whether an oar was lost in the haste to launch her. It was a fact, however, that we only had. one oar and this, with the rough weather, rendered our situation extremely dangerous. There was no panic among the men, but everyone got into the two dories that could. "We were picked up by the tug Wallace B.

Flint and Captain Walter Brandow did his best for us. We were taken on board the tug and Captain Brandow anchored for the Sight. This morning we were taken to Sandy Hook and then brought up to New York. I did not know the captain of the fishing smack and was knocked flat with when I saw him leave his boat and jump into the dory. I heard him shout out that he would send relief and that was all I did hear in the confusion.

We kept ourselves as right as we could with the one car until we were picked up. Several times wo were nearly swamped and some of the men. gave up for lost, but no one lost his 1 head. If there had been any scramble the old dory would surely have upset and all bands drowned." Cregan told substantially the same story as Echoltz and denied that there had been any on the smack. Captain Walter Brandow of the Wallace Flint said that he was In Hook Bay waiting for a ship at 5:30 this morning when tfie pilot boat No.

20 began burning a light. He ran toward her. On the way he heard shouts from the dark ahead of him. He slowed his tug up and ran in the direction of ttie shouts with the result of finding tho boat with its crew of ten men. The sea was heavy and the best that could be done was to get the men aboard his own boat from the dory.

They had only one oar and the boat was leaking. Its side was stove in when a wave dashed It against the side of the tug 'and it was abandoned. Captain George Brandow of the Evarta was also down tbe bay looking for a ship. He saw the pilot boat burning a torch and also a torch burning over on Romer shoals. He concluded to go Jo the relief of the vessel In distress on the shoals.

He ran toward her and found the men aboard burning newspapers. There were no other lights on the sebooner. The sea wais too heavy for him to take the men off, the schooner. He threw them a hawser and pulled the boat off the rocks with some difficulty as there were two anchors dragging and the men on board could not lift them. He dragged the schooner as far as Tompklns ville and there got his own men aboard and lifted the anchors.

Beside the six men taken fro the Georgiana Xoung there was a little black and yellow cur 'that hadn't done bis duty as mascot. When the tug Evarts came alongside at Tompklns vllle. he Jumped from the schooner to ber and couldn't be induced to leave the tug this John F. Martin, who managed the excursion, was seen by an Eagle reporter at the H. W.

Johns paint works this afternoon. He corroborated the stories told by the other members of the party and said that he couldn' understand why Captain McGroory abandoned the schooner. "I am glad to learn that no lives were lost," Bald Martin, "but I certainly thought at one time that wo all would be drowned. I assisted the captain in sailing the boat and him the location of many of the stioals. "I know where the Romer was, but he found it, as you know.

When we left Ihe schooner there was so much excitement that a man wliom they called Gus fell overboard and we supposed he was drowned. It seems, however, that he was rescued by other dory, which was in turn picked up by the tug Flint. We had been drifting about for.several hours when Pilot Boat No. 20 In sight. There were twen ty 'seven in the party, including the crew, andVthey agreed 'to pay S1.25 each for the trip.
