That is, It was erected by the department of city works during his administration as mayor, in 1890. It cost the city $14,000. This Judge Osborne, sitting at special term of tho city court this morning, heard testimony la three suits for absolute divorce. The first one taken up was that of Alice Merritt against Edward G. Merritt, to whom she was married on April 2S, 1892, by the Rev.

Dr. Morrison. Th ceremony was performed at 210 Hart street. Testimony was introduced to show that foif six weeks the defendant lived at 373 South. First street with a woman named Mamie, was always supposed by the neighbors to bo his wife.

This woman proved to bo Mamie Smith of 298 Grand street. She was called and later testified that she had lived with Merritt and was living with him now. She said each member had a head. These words were subsequently stricken out and some changes were made in Article IV. providing that the tax be for the expenses and be distributed tinder the direction of the board of control, after having been passed on and approved by the auditing committee.

The rirlnclDal Dolnt raised in the debate tract requirements of 4.800 and can easily sustain lfiG revolutions per minute for a long period, while designed for only 150 revolutions, as per contract. Even at a speed of only 16 knots per hour, the Katahdln could sink the largest battleships now afloat, and cut some of the smaller ones completely In two. Most of the faster war cruisers and battle ships now in commission by the various naval powers could very likely distance the Katahdln in an open sea. straightaway race, but at close quarters they could not be maneuvered so quickly aa to avoid her, if she attempted to ram them. The lines of her hull were designed for strength In ramming and for rapidity In turning, and not for speed.

They fulfill their requirements admirably. Had her lines been at all conducive to speed, the Katahdin's engines would undoubtedly have brought her up Into the 20 knot class of war ships. She is a tremendous success in her stability, in the ease of her turning (and. therefore, In her capacity for maneuvering). The nvw East river bridge commissioners read with amazement in last night'B Eagle that President Rosslter of the Brooklyn Heights railroad wanted to be paid to run cars across the bridge.

"That is all rot," said one of the commissioners, In commenting on Mr. Rossiter's statement this morning. "It 1b absurd to say that the trolley companies should receive compensation for the privilege of crossing the bridge. It certainly would be a very great privilege for them to gain an entrance to the heart of New York city. The matter of compensation is not worrying the commissioners at all.

It Is a matter which will ad Just itself at the proper time. Mr. Rosslter Is a bright young man and he gave us much valuable information, but he can't frighten us." Several of the commissioners expressed themselves as being greatly pleased with the result of yesterday's meeting. The information which they obtained from the presidents of local railroad companies they declared would be useful to their chief engineer in de was favorable for a successful run. The weather conditions are perfect, with the wind light and due east.

The ram is expected to return here by 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. Description of the Katahdin.

house was ostensibly built for the keeper of the Massapequa pond and his three assistants, who were paid $2 a day each. The pond is near at hand and was filled with trout. There may be some left. As a matter of fact, the building was used as a Sort of country club house for a few of the favored Democratic politicians down town who know to casta fly, and who also know a good thing when they see it. The pond was a good thing, and the cooking in the keeper's house was also good, bo between the two they found life there very pleasant.

The keeper and his three assistants were useful because they kept poachers away from the pond and made it possible for the political sportsmen from down town to always wet their lines successfully. When Alfred T. White became commissioner he investigated things and, as a result, the Massapequa house ceased to be a The sixth annual convention of the Brooklyn South District Epworth league opened this morning at 10 o'clock in Grace M.

The proceedings of the morning's session wee mainly of a devotional character and a discussion of the report of the special committee on the amended constitution. About sixty leagues and an aggregate membership of five thousand persons ia represented in the convention.

The convention has jurisdiction over leagues in Kings county; includes the south side of Queens county and through the south side of Suffolk county as far as Pat chogue. A. M. Sanders of Morris Park called the convention to order. Many prominent Methodists and Epworth League workers were present.

Among them are the Rev. Dr. C. S. Wing, presiding elder of the New York East conference; the Rev.

Dr. R.S.Pardington, the Rev. Herbert Welch, the Rev. Dr. Jordan, the Rev.

Allan Mac Rossle, the Rev. Dr. W. W. Bowdlsh, the Rev.

Macauley against Frank S. D. Ma a number of others spoke on the subject. Dr. Pardington suggested that an entertainment committee be substituted for the executive committee, and that one of its members should be the presiding elder, which created a laugh at the expense of Dr.

XVing, who, while expressing his desire to do all that he could to aid the officers of the league, had previously argued In behalf of the abolition of the executive committee. The discussion on the report of the committee on the constitution was continued close up to the hour ot adjournment. Miscellaneous business followed, during which a nominating committee and a committee on resolutions were appointed. These appointments were succeeded by lunch, which was gracefully served by the fair members of Grace church. The programme of the afternoon's session, which began at 1:45 o'clock, consisted of devotional exercises, conducted by the Rev.

When it died he paid for its burial and was then told that ho was a fool for doing so, as the cnno latner was Frank Macauley, a married man. The witness confronted Cella with this story and she admitted its truth.

Afterward the witness met Macauley. who also admitted the story and promised to support the woman him self. the new bridge, this morning: If proper facilities are offered and if a short sighted policy is not adopted by the commissioners I think the cars of the surface roads could be run across the now bridge to the great advantage of the public. I can see how so many restrictions might be placed upon the surface railroad companies as to make It impracticable for them to use cars on the bridge." When asked what he thought of President Rossiter's statement that the companies should be paid rather than pay for the right to cross the bridge. Colonel Partridge said: "I think there is a good deal In that but If I owned the bridge I should want to lay the tracks, attend to all the repairs and furnish the power.

It will be the commissioners' bridge. They will be responsible for it and therefore they should have direct control of such matters. If they do furnish the power and do the repairing they will be entitled to charge the railroad companies. Without that, however, it would be unwise for the railroad company officials to say that they would pay any compensation until It is better known He did so: but one night Dowllng met tho Can the Individual Best Serve the Chapter," by Mrs. J.
