While the affair was entirely informal, it was fcund impossible, with so many notables about the board, to avoid some expression of sentiment, and thatexpressed by Mayor elect Frederick W. Wurster on the excise qustion was prhaps the most interesting. He said that while Atlanta had the strictest of excise laws he noticed that the favored few were allowed great privileges in the clubs that were denied the many "I believe. "he said, "that the Iavs should be administered for all alike without distinction and if the rich man can get a drink on Sunday in his club the poor should have equal opportunity elsewhere.

There should be no class distincitou and I am opposed to allow any to exist." Mayor Strong said that while he was trying to give New York a moral and quiet Sunday he would almost believe Roosevelt was lii charge of Atlanta.

aged years. Last Wednesday evening the child acted as maid cf hener at the marriage of her adopted sister, who is now away on her wedding trip. Florence's death, which occurred last night, was the result of a fall from her bicycle, which happened about 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon. She was an expert rider and was able to take lone journeys in perfect safety. The block which she lives has recently been paved with asphalt, and.

as usually the case where such pavement is laid, many children congregate, and among the number on Saturday were boys playing foot ball. From the best information obtainable the ball was kicked by one of the boys and it struck the front wheel little Florence's bicycle and she was thrown over backward, falling near one cr two iuer. who were working on a building L'HOMMEDIK just across the street from her home. She was carried into the house by two of the laborers. She had struck the curbstone with her right temple and sustained a fracture of the skull.

Dr. Elliott, whose office is at the corner of Sumner avenue and Monroe street, tcgether with Dr. Willis and his assistant, was called in. and they used every effort to aid her, but it seemed evident from the first that she could not live. She remained in an unconscious state until i) o'clock last night.

As already stated, the child was an exceptionally fine rider. She had been down as far Bedford avenue in the morning to buy a pair of gloves to wear to church cn Sunday and joined a company of young girls in the afternoon to ride on the block on which she lived. She was a very lovable child, intelligent beyond her years, being a member of Miss Dunn's eighth grammar grade class in School No. 44. on Throop avenue.

The coroner this morning viewed the remains. The services will be conducted by the Rev. John C. Ager, pastor of the Church of the New Jerusalem, who performed the marriage ceremony spoken of. The interment will take place at Baiting Hollow, near Rlverhead, L.

on Thursday morning. Mr. L'Hornmedieu is well known in river naviga tion circles, being the head of the White Star Towing company. MISS HAJANK.VS ELOPEMENT. TIRED OF MARRIED LIFE, SHE RETURNS TO HER HOME.

An elopement and secret marriage, in which pretty Miss Rose Hajanka, her stern father, Peter Hajanka, and a carpenter. Charles Miller by name, figured, has been the one subject under discussion at Lawmvood. an ordinarily quiet little''hamlet, a mile be low Parkville, in the Twenty ninth ward, this mcrning. and the return of the young wife to her father's home has completed the local sensation. A new bicycle, purchased a few weeks ago is, perhaps, the most prominent feature in the affair, and is primarily the cause cf much suffering in the hearts of the principals.

A report was current in Lawn wood yesterday that Charles Miller had met Miss Rosie Hajanka while wheeling on the boulevard, had fallen in love with her. and, being opposed by her father. Peter Hajanka, had eioped. rne hrst time thev failed, be cause the stern parent had discovered the couple In Rosie's room, packing her trousseau in a trunk, preparatory to the flight. Then a scene followed which ended bv Mil ler being kicked out of the front door by Rosie's father The father talked, reasoned and entreated his pretty daughter not to attempt such an act and thereby bring disgrace upon his grey head.

He finally concluded by locking Rosie in her chamber and then putting the key in his pocket All that the father could say or do had no weight with his prettv daughter. She loved Miller, she said, and marry she would. Miller and Miss Hajanka were secretly married on September 17 by the Rev. T. G.

Spencer, paster of the First Primitive Methodist church' on Park avenue, this city. They had kept the faot from the bride's parents until last week, when Miller sent the following note to Mr. Hajanka. Dear sir I thoufrht I would wrif a few lines to let you know that your daughter is married ti me. 1 hope you will keep this news to yourself until I see you.

This miprht surprise von, but don't worry: I will jrive her a good home. If you doubt my word, so to the Rev. Mr. minister of the Park avenue P. M.

FUin EXCE of is of Five Year Old Lilian Collins Burned to Death. BABY BROTHER BADLY BURNED. The Throe Children of a Na vy Yard Employe Started a Blazing in the Room, Whils the Mother Went Out on an Errand The Injured Child Will Probably Die as a Result of Its Burns.

Lillian Collins, the 5 year old daughter of William Collins, was burned to death this rnorning in, a fire which occurred in the apart ment nouse, zzi west Tenth street. New York. Willie Collins. 10 months old, was so severely burned that his life is despaired of. The house in which the fire occurred is one a row of three five story apartment houses.

Each fiat is occupied by three families, two in the front and one in the rear. William Collins, a painter, employed in the Brooklyn navy yard, occupies the Hat tn the rear of the second floor, his wife Ida and their three children, Lillian, 5 years old; Irene, 4 years old, and Willie 1') months old. Mrs. Collint; subject to epileptic fits. She left the three children fer a few minutes this morning shortly before o'clock, while she went to the yard with a pan of ashes.

There had been a robbery in the house only a short time ago, and since that, time Mrs. Collins had taken the precaution to lock the door whenever she left the rooms. The three children were left in the sitMting room, which adjoins the kitchen. Mrs. Collins had scarcely reached the Mfoot of the staircase when Lillian, the eldest of the three children, gathered a quantity of newspapers and piled them in the corner the sitting room.

The children, who were all in their night dresses, stood about while I Lillian procured a match from 'the kitchen and set fire to the paper. The Uames rose quickly and ignited the night dresses of Lillian and the baby Willie, who but a moment before was dancing about the fire, clapping his hands with glee. A little boy named Charles Raphael, who lives on the top floor of the house, wnile passing down stairs on his way to school smelled the smoke and ran back to his mother. On April last a file started in some strange manner in the wainscrating in the hallway, and the boy, fearing there was another fire of the same nature, ran and told his mother. On the ame flat with Mrs.

Raphael lives the family of Horace Suydam. Mrs. Raphael told Mr. Suydam, and he ran to the door leading to the apartments of the Collinses. He could hear the cries of the children inside the room and see tb smoke pouring into the hallway through the keyhole and crevices.

A glass dcor separates the kitchen from the hallway, and this Mr. Suydam broke with his fist. Standing close to the door was little Iiene. When the glass was smashed she ran into thesitt.ngroomand then into the kitchen. As she passed the door Suydam threw her through the opening.

He then smashed the door from its hinges. this juncture a woman, one of the tenants in the house, was coming up stairs with a pail of coal. Suydam. In his excitement, thought the pall contained water, and dashed its contents over the mass of burning paper in the center of the sitting room'. In the meantime a stranger, who had been attracted to the building by the screams for help, ran into the room and carried Willie, whose night dress had been burned from his body, from the room.

The boy was lying on the floor near the bed. He was severely burned about the body. He carried the little one to St. Vincent hospital, where the doctors say his condition is critical. All the furniture in the sitting room was destroyed.

The firemen, In extinguishing the flames, came upon the body of Lillian. It was burnt almost to a crisp and was found in a kneeling posture between the bedroom and sitting room. The father was telegraphed for. When Mrs. Collins came upstairs and learned what had recurred she dropped in a fit and has since remained speechless from the shock.

Nothing but the short stumps of tho mnsts or tho fishing smack Corneiin M. Kingsland, Which went ashoro on tho Homer shoal Saturday morning, could be seen this morning. She is a complete wreck and will probably break up' auring the next storm. the at not r. It for for the to to a to i i present its reoort to dav on the Vernon ave nue bridge matter.

If it does, supervisor Linnekin will brine in a minority report re viewing the whele question. At Saturday's i meeting of the joint, committee of Kings and Queens counties, the majority decided to report in favor cf having Engineer John J. McLoughlln of Jamaica make all the plans and specifications for the new bridge struc ture. Supervisors Linnekin cf KiDgs and ivonier ot yueens voted against tne acceptance of this report. They are in favor of allowing all bidding companies to draw separate sets of plans and specifications and then choosing from them.

Sup. Linnekin said this morning that Engineer McLaughlin's plans contemplated a pier in mid stream which wculd badly obstruct navigation. He did not think such a thing would pass the board. At Saturday's meeting, which was held in the court house, a bill for was received from Mr. McLaughlin for drawing the plans for the lift bridge sub structure, which Mr.Fitchie vetoed last summer.

The bill was sent to the two counties each tb pay half of it. It was referred the Kings county and Queens county bridge committees separately for consideration. George F. Elliott, counsel to the board of supervisors, to whom was referred for an opinion the bill recently presented by Architect R.B.Eastman fer drawing plans for extra foundations for buildings at St. Johuland, has not yet completed his investigations, but said this morning that he had gone far enough to be able to say that he should advise against its payment in full, if he should recommend its payment at all.

When asked go into detail he declined, but declared that he thought It ought to be scaled down at least 75 per cent. He will not send in his opinion until next week. Mr. Eastman's bill has been hanging fire for several years and week ago he secured a. writ of mandamus compel the ccunty auditor to show cause why he should net credit it.

Mr. Kellar turned the paper over to Mr. Elliott. Mr. Eastman's bill calls for NAVY YARD NEWS.

THE STEAM ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT TO BE INVESTIGATED. The recent complaints against the steam engineering department of the navy yard are to be made the subject of an official investigation. Commodore Sicard, the commandant of the yard, has been informed by the secretary of the navy that complaints have been made against one of the machine shop foremen, and has been requested to investigate the matter and report the facts to the department. The foreman is charged with having been tyrannical and arbitrary in his dealings with the workmen under his control. At the yard it is believed that this is but the beginning of a more important investigation in reference to the entire workings of the department in question, with special regard to the charges made against Master Mechanic How att and Passed Assistant Engineer Hall.

Incidentally, Lli'itenant Knapp's conduct in examining all the other department's at the yard and skipping this one will also be touched upon. The machinists who are pushing these charges say that the lieutenant purposely slighted the engineering department and did not inspect it cn account of college associations with some of the officers who were on duty there. The charges made against the foreman and engineer are ot a most serious nature, and if they are substantiated will undoubtedly result in their being dropped from the service. Commodore Sicard' this morning was not in. a very communicative mood when asked what steps he proposed to take to investigate the charges.

He positively refused to say anything about the matter, although he did noi. deny that he had received instructions to Investigate. It is believed that he will appoint a board consisting of the captain of the yard and the chiefs of the various dpartments to investigate the subject, and upon the nature of their report the department will act. A board, consisting of Commander Chester, chairman, and Civil Engineers Endicott, Wol cott and Asserson. has been examining the work so far accomplished by the Walshes on the new dry dock, with a view to.settling the claim of the contractors for extra compensation for extra work done.

The examination has been completed, and the board is preparing its report preparatory to submitting it to the navy department. The ramshackle old sheds, known as buildings Nos. 115, 117 and 118, are gradually being torn down. In place of the three buildings there is to be one large structure oyer four hundred feet long. The construction work on the.

new offic i building has been finished and the structure will be ready for use when the interior workers get through with it. Lieutenant John A. Nichols, formerly flag secretary to Admiral Kirkland of the European station, who arrived from Europe yesterday, visited the yard to day. Paymaster Kenny, also of the European station, but now detached, was another visitor at the yard. He was accompanied by Mrs.

Kenny. THE COURT CALENDARS. Circuit court. Tuesday, November 26, Guvnor, part I. Room 19 N'os, 1.67S.

thy orator of the to trie exposition ivunas. The pageant as it rr.ved out Pearhtrce street, between lines of admiring Atlantantians. was a brilliant one, and evoked enthusiastic cheers along the route. Inside the grounds several thousand people were assembled to welcome the cavalcade, which moved toward the main entrance to the New York building, where the exercises of the day were to occur. In the Empire state building the ceremonies were opened with prayer by Dr.

I). 11. Parker Morgan, chaplain of Troop A. Hrio? seWminjr speeches were then made by Mayor of Atlanta and President 'Jollier of the exposition, after which Mayor Strong of New York spoke. President Seth of Columbia.

delivered the rirar.iuu of the day. Ho said: Mr. Mayor and Citizens of Atlanta The human voice is but a feeble organ by which to express the greeting of one city to another. Yet it is by the still small voice of human speech that the spirit of a community finds its best utterance, like the spirit of man. It is New York, therefore, the majestic city by the Hudson, that speaks through me to the people ot Atlanta, the metropolis of Georgia.

Of all her many voices New York choose the friendly human voice, because her message is fraternal and from her heart. Sitting ai the gateway of the continenL, and always mindful of the great world beyond the sea. New York is and always has been cosmopolitan in character. But they mistake utterly tho pirit of the place who permit, themselves to suppose, for a moment, that for this reason New York is unmindful of the greut country behind her to which she servea as the port entry. To tho West and to the South run tho arteries of her commerce, carrying into all parts of the country her own life blood.

Therefore it is that in no region of the country can an event happen of paramount interest there that it is not reflected at once in the quickened pulse beats of New York. Especially, for one reason and another, there has always been mere than a common sympathy between New York and the South, and so it. is thai, in Atlanta's dav of rejoicing New York is glad to bring her tribute of congratulation and good will. You are accustomed to think of New York as the commerieal metropolis. Yos know.

also, that she is the linancial center of the country. Some of you may be aware, as well that she is the greatest headquarters of manufacture in the United States. It certainly is not without significance, therefore, that New York to day speaks tu you through one of her educators. It is as though sh were saying to the New South: "Hear the message of Aew York. Commerce is good, finance is koou.

manuiacture is good. But ch. men nf the South, without education commerce finance and manufacture in any high sense. are aiine impossible. To attai i them you you must must educate; to maintain them cuucaie; to expand them you must yet you nave tonoweci a true instinct In calling the attention of the country through This exhibition, to the material resources of the South.

Commerce is the handmaid of civilization, and if it be necessary to have education in order to develop commerce to its v.tmost extent, so also it is necessary to have commerce in order to support education Commerce and education must go hand in hand. Education, first of all. should be practical. It is indeed impossible to measure the influence for good upon world of the higher education. In one wav or another al communities must provide for their children an educational privilege great as can be hut everywhere it is important that the pyramid shall be broad at lt hase.

In particular, it has come to bo believed, our day. that the education of the hand is no less important than the education of the eye. Therefore. I hope it will be characteristic of the educational systems; of tho South that great stress shall be laid upon the trade school and the manual training school as weli as upon the common school the school and tho college, it is customary tn say of New York that her location is indicated "aioie as me seat ot a commercial motmn. olis.

Undoubtedly, her natural advantages commercial center nr ver as it should not be forgotten that New York is what she is. because the men of New York have co operatod with nature to develop her advantages. The Erie canal, which has contributed so largely to the supremacy of New lork was made possible bv nature but the canal was built through tho foresight and the courage of the men of the state of New York I count it. therefore, a circumstance full of hope that the people of Atlanta should have organized this exhibition in order tn call attention tn the vast resources of this section of the country, both developed and undeveloped The same spirit of enterprise, intelligently directed, will do for the South what has already done elsewhere, wherever i has had the chance. It is one of he striking characteristics of our times that many valuable products are made out of what formerly went to waste.
