HE MAR11IED A BROOKLYN GIRL AND MOVED TO VIRGINIA. (Special to tho Eagle.) Richmond, April 17 A divorce suit in which tlui defense mado by tho wife, who was i Brooklyn girl, that she left her husband's home, bf. e.nise of fhe uukindncss of her mothor in low been decided by the BUpreme court of Virgiui. and the defense of the mother in law has been accepted as valid by the court. The question involved was unusual, and tho opinion of Judge Keith, prosideut of the court, is interesting.

In 1NH3 MisH Jennie of Brooklyn was married to Tuthill C. Hutohins and not very long utter the wedding Mr. anil Mrs. Ilutchins removed to Warwick county in this state, where HutchinH and his father bought a farm jointly. Mrs.

Hutohins resided there, with her fiithcr in law, while Hutcbins returned to Nt York to work. The wife complained to him several thne8 that flhe could not live with his mother, as the latter treuted her cruelly, abused und even assaulted her. Finally, according to tho record, Mrs. nutch ins could stand those abuses no longer and moved away to live atnon.S friends in New Jersey. The husband then sned in the Warwick circuit court for a divorce, charging desertion.

Tlie divorce was refused. Then the husband took on appeal. The enpremo court holds that while a man is muster of his own family and has the right to say whore they shall livo, ho must also protect them and is responsible for any cruelty inflicted upon them, even by his own lather or mother. Concluding, judgo Keith says: "A man who marries a woman and then sends her to live among strangers in a family where she is tho recipient of such treatment as is disclosed in this record, is in our judgment guilty of such cruelty as fully to Justify her in Booking the protection of her friendfl, "and wo ore thorofore of opinion that the decree of tho circuit court which dismissed his bill is right, and must bo affirmed." OBITUARY. Thomas D.

Carman, one of the oldest residents of the City of Brooklyn, died at 'his late home, 3 Poplar street, at 11:30 A. M. yesterday. He enjoyed his usual good health until Sunday, when he was attacked by a chill, to Which fever and delirium succeeded. He was born on a farm in Hempstead, L.

July 24, 1809. His father and mother were both members of the Carman family, who by their mar rlago reunited the different brandies of the family. His father, Richard Carman, was a well known morchant, doing business both In New York and Brooklyn. He 'was a large property owner In both cities. Thomas D.

Carman began business In Hempatead in the year 1826. He was married to Miss Ann Denton, a daughter of Judge Oliver Denton, on September 19, 1830. In 1840 he sold out his business and moved to Brooklyn. In 1852 he chartered a sliip and with a cargo of cooking stoves ealled for Australia. The Btoves were a novelty In the country and the gold miners bought them TliOMlAS D.

OAJtMAN. at fabulous prices. The result was the establishment of a large business. With Yankee shrewdness Mr. Carman discovered the fact that stages were unknown In Australia and started a route to the gold mines.

This proved to he a most successful venture and he soon sold out at an enormous profit. He returned to Brooklyn in 1S45, having in three years amassed a comfortable fortune. The house in which h.e lived and died was built In 1846. In 1867 he purchased the farm since known as the Rural Experimental farm, In East Rockaway, and spent his summers cultivating it and conducting experiments for his son, Elbert S. Carman, editor and owner of the well known agricultural paper, the Rural New Yorker, of New York city.

In 1SS7, in company with Thomas H. Brusn, he purchased a large tract of land at Massapequa and built an hotel and cottages at that popular resort. He was a large stockholder and one of the oldest directors of the Brooklyn City railroad, and 'was largely interested In tho Union Ferry company, Brooklyn Gas company and other local financial Institutions. He was a regular attendant at Holy Trinity church. He leaves a son.

Elbert S. Carman, editor of the Rural New Yorker, and a daughter, Mrs. D. S. Snedeker.

The funeral will take place to morrow at 3 P. M. at the family home, on Poplar street. Walter H. Ralston, a retired dry goods merchant, died Monday at his home, 1,036 West Fayette street, Baltimore, in the 70th year ot his age.

His death was from heart trouble. Mr. Ralston was born In Baltimore, but for a number of years conducted business in Wilmington, Del. He retired several years ago. He leaves a daughter and three sons, one of whom Is Mr.

Captain Charles Churchill of tho New York life paring orew was out in Canarsio bay yesterday, when Henry Haupss of this eity, who was in a small boat, upset his craft and went down almost like a piece of lead, being unablo to swim.

The captain dived after tho drowning man and attempted to bring him up, but Haupss threw his arms around the enptain and the latter found ho could use only one arm. He got Haupss to the surface, however, after a hard struggle, and with the aid of other members of thVlifb saving crew, reached a placo of safety with his load. Tho two men were in tho water nearly thirty minutes, and it was a oloso call for the "gallant life Baver and Haupss. DINNER TO DR. DEPEW.

Charlen Ilobehn. Mr. Maxwell called the meeting to order shortly boforo 10 o'clock and H. V. Mona han was unanimously elected temporary president.

In explanation of the movement for tho new board ot trade Mr. Monahan said: "We meet here this evening to found a Fifth avenue board of trade, whose object Is to help Fifth avenue and all Its contributing territory to do business In a better manner than heretofore. You are all aware Fifth avenue cars now run dlTect to Fort Hamilton and Coney Island with these slight discomforts, passengers must wait sometimes thirty minutes for a car and then the fortunate passengers must hang on a strap while the unfortunate ones hang oh the rear dash board. Ot course it Is the usual thing for care to run at ten or flt'eon miles an hour and for the past four months Fifth avenue has not been cleaned. You may Imagine the Oloud of dust these cars blow off the street to rest on ladles' Easter hats and dresses.

On behalf of our lady patrons we decidedly object to this new mode of cleaning our streets. Then when we reach the canal wo are liable to be compelled to wait half an hour watching a few men forcing a loaded schooner through the draw with stout poles such as is now used by Chinese junks on the Yang Tse Klang river. And then tho delicious perfume ot the stagnant canal, with Its 100,000 stenches, In the month of July is so enjoyable were it not for the fact that it crushes and for ever stills the heart beats of helpless young children and old people within a radius of at least a mile or more. Again, cut pavements are in a Her plorable condition. About three thousand light wagons and carriages leave the Fifteenth and Ninth avenue entrance to Prospect park weekly and a large portion of them promptly go to the repair shop.

There Is not a decently paved street leading to the park In South Brooklyn. Why should these evils exist? Wo pay our taxes, then why not have improvements? Lack of progress is largely due to the fact that we are not organized and our city authorities spend our money on eastern district and other parts of tho city because they are organized and demand their rights as business men. Naturally our officials say South Brooklyn needs no improvements. If they did they would organize and demand thorn Just as the public spirited merchants of grand street have done. We wish them well in their combined efforts to benefit their section of the city.

Now Fifth avenue has reached an important epoch in Its career by the opening up last week of the territory between Fifth avenue and the sea. We should prepare to supply a great part of trade and this Is the first step in that direction. If the merchants of Fifth avenue are broad in their views In meeting this new trade Fifth avenue will grow more In importance commercially during tho next five years than it has during the post ten years. Let us be up and doing. The future of Fifth avenue depends on the Individual efforts of each and every one of us to night." (Applause).

The following letter was read from J. Si monson, cashier of the Fifth avenue bank, dated April 16. I am unafole to be present at the meeting called, to form a board of trade of the (merchants of riccn averrue, out wiwi to express my approval as set' forth in tlhe circular and to wish It success. There Is need for suoh an organization, and rljrhfly conducted. should accomplish much for the business Interests of this section of the city.

It was the unanimous sentiment of the meeting that a board of trade should be formed and a discussion ensued as to the name of the new organization. Mr. Russell, who was tie chief projector of the movement, wanted It to be called the Fifth avenue board cf trade, but tho meeting eventually decided to broaden Its name, as well as Its limits, and it was decided to call tho organization tho South Brooklyn board of trade. The discussion leading up to the flnel adoption of a name was rather interesting. It was pointed out that the Grand street board of trade had been formed directly for the protection of the merchants on that street, but Mr.

Maxwell said that the Fifth avenue merchant was not the only business man in the district of South Brooklyn. "If," he continued, "you want to have somo legislation, you can't go to tho legislature with fhree or four people, nor to the mayor with three or four people. If we know what we are after, let us have a big, broad name and take In everybody inside this side of Fulton street." (Applause.) The election of officers was proceeded with, resulting as follows: Alexander J. Calder, president: W. J.

Maxwell, first vice president; Dr. T. R. Maxfield. second vice president; Thomas Garvey.

financial secretary; Allan Bowie, recording secretary; Frank A. Selle, treasurer. The following resolutions were then presented: Whereas, We, the merchants of South Brooklyn, duly orprarilzed as a board of trade In meeting assembled recognize the fact that numerous Improvements are needed In South Brooklyn; therefore, be It Resolved. That our executive committee communicate with our city officials, board of health and congressmen to devlre a plan to purify canal, and sUftircBt that only steam be used as a motive power in towlr.g boats through the c.inal. Resolved, That trolley companies sprinkle the ear tracks with water to prevent dust from destroying ladles garments and entering: our stores, and lungs, bearing fferms of disease that bring death to many homes.

Resolved. That at least one street lending to Fifteenth street entrance of park should Ik! macadamized and the pprk entrance at that point Should be cleaned ami Improved. Resolved. That Ninth street road be reminded that the lawful fare to Coney Island Is cents. Doubtless the fact has escaped their notice, because all railroad officials are or ought to bo law abiding citizens.

After some discussion tho resolutions were laid on the table till the next meeting of the new board, which will be held on the 30th inst. The board of directors will also be elected then.

Commissioner Stump Is of the Opinion That It Will Solve Itself, but There Is Much Anxiety News From the National Capital. (Special to tho Eagle.) Washington, D. April 17 The question of talcing care of the Immense number of Immigrants that are being landed at Ellis Island Is causing the officials at New York considerable anxiety and the authorities at tho treasury department have been appealed to In regard to the matter.

Owing to the conscription of men by the Italian government for the war In Abyssinia a large majority of the incoming foreigners are from Italy, who aTe fleeing to the United States to escape service In the army. Commissioner of Immigration Stump when asked yesterday what remedy he had to offer for tho situation in New York said: "In my opinion the accounts of the overcrowding of the Immigrants at Ellis Island have been greatly exaggerated and IE matters are left alone they will work out their own salvation. There Is always an Increase In Immigration to the United State3 at this period of the year, but this spring the influx has been greater than that recorded for several years past. The present difficulty Is attributable In part to the Immigration act of J8B3, which requires a most urgent and strict examination of each Immigrant. If It is found that an Incoming foreigner Is not fully entitled to land he has the privilege of a further examination berore the board of special inquiry, which Is presided over by four inspectors.

After this investigation the immigrant is ordered to be deponed unless he receives tho favorable vote of three members of the board of 'inspection. As the majority ot the immigrants coming in at this time are Italians, who, as a rule, are of the most undesirable character, the work of this board of Inspection has been greatly increased during the past few weeks. This accounts in a measure for the crowding of the quarters on Ellis Island. We experience more or less trouble of this sort every spring, but this year tho conditions are somewhat aggravated. When an immigrant Is ordered to be detained and deported he has to remain on Ellis island until tho ship bringing him over is ready to take him back to his native land.

In many cases this involves a long wait, which naturally adds to the crowding. There is no doubt that the quarters on Ellis Island are not adequate for tho purposes which they have to serve Just at present, but for ordinary seasons of tho year they amswer well enough. As regards the reports that the big 'building on the island Is in the nature of a pest house, I will say that when this builldlng was constructed It was not designed to have immigrants stay there over night, and quarters for this purpose wero not provided. The main portion of this building is well ventiteted, but the small additions and annexes are not so well constructed with regard to the admission of pure and the exit of impure air as they might have been. The government lias recognized the necessity for providing increased sleeping quarters at Ellis Island, and plans for extensive Improvements In the buildings there are being made at the department now.

We are getting things Into shape as rapidly as possible, and the contract for the work will he given out at the very earliest moment. We are making arrangements to provide quarters for E00 or 400 in, addition to tho present capacity. Dr. Sonner has written to tho department several times In regard to the matter and wo have given him all the aid and assistance that ho has asked for. The last time I was ait Ellis Island we had a consultation as to whether or not It would be wise to arm the officers In anticipation of trouble with the excitable immigrants, but for prudential reasons it was decided not to do so at tbct time.

It has since been reported that an appeal was to be made to have the officials armed, but under no circumstances will I permit this to be done. A pistol in the hands of a government employe can do more damage than a dozen foreigners. I am determined to fully administer the immigration laws and will permit no one to land on these shore who is not entitled to land, and the department Intends to carry out rigidly that provision which requires the steamship companies to carry back, at their own expense, all immigrants who are not qualified to enter the United States. The present class of Immigrants may be judged somewhat by the fact that we are deporting 10 per cent, of tho arrivals, which renders the buslnoss of bringing undesirable Immigrants to thl country a rather unprofitable one for the steamship lines engaged In it. We have recently added to the number of inspectors and Interpreters at Ellis island and have also Increased the number of watchmen, laborers and emergency men there.

I think that im mlgratlon.wIH fall off In thecourse of the next month, when it will assume Its normal proportions." When Commissioner Stump was asked if he did not think that better facilities were needed at Ellis island, in addition to Increased sleeping capacity, ho replied that Ellis island was all right, and that no better place could be found at whoh to receive the arrivals from foreign countries who come to seek homes and fortunes in the United States. The board of United States general appraisers has Just rendered an opinion of some interest in the case of importation of a consignment of snakes, which arrived at the port of New York a fow days ago. The snakes con sited of a large variety ana were the property of a travelling troupe of minstrels. They were trained to permit themselves to be coiled about the person of a so called snake charmer. When they arrived at the port of New York the collector assessed them at the regular rate of duty on live animals.

The proprietor of the show, however, knew his business, and promptly filed a protest against the action of the collector, claiming that they wero entitled to admission free of duty, under the head of "tools of trade," Tho matter was referred to the board of United States general appraisers, which decided that the point of the snake owner was well taken, and accordingly the tools of trade were allowed to come In free of tax. Samuel Gompers, president of tho American Federation of Labor, proposes to take a hand In the coming election. To this end he has begun his campaign by ascertaining the personal views of all those who are liable to be candidates for public office this fall on the great labor problems. He has prepared a series of questions relating to the employment of labor, and these he has submitted to the public men at Washington, asking at tho same tlmo for an expression of opinion on tho subjects contained In the letter. It Is thought that tho answers made to these Inquiries will decldo which candidates are to receive tho support of the American Federation of Labor during the coming elections and which aro to receive the knives Instead of the votes of the members of this organization.

Answers are requested to the following questions: "First In view of the wonderful and ever increasing inventions of and improvements In wealth producing methods, should tho people of our country be required to work more than eight hours per day? "Second What would, In your opinion, be tho Influence of the general reduction in the working hours to eight per day have upon the moral and social well being of the people of our country?" An effort is being made in the senate to compel the postmaster general to resume the duty of giving out the contracts for furnishing postagestampstoprivateflrms, Instead of having them printed at the bureau of engraving and printing, as at present. Senator Hawley recently Introduced an amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill, providing that on and after January 1, 1897, no postage stamps shall be manufactured at the bureau of engraving and printing, but that this work shall be given out upon competitive bidding after public advertisement for proposals. The stamps have been manufactured by the government since July, 1S94, and during the two years which Undo Sam has had charge of this work un Immense saving has been made in the cost. With the exception of a slight mistake that happened at the very outset, and which was duo to tho newnos9 of tbo work, tho bureau of engraving and printing has given general satisfaction in manufacturing jostago stamps. Postmaster General Wilson has expressed himself as well pleased with the manner In which the government Is doing this work.

Congressman Plcklor, champion of the veterans In tho house, vant3 more tlmo devoted to the consideration of pension bills, and ho" has Introduced a resolution providing that Monday and Friday evenings of each week shall bo consumed In tho transaction of matter relating to pensions. Congressman Wilson of Brooklyn intro COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES AT THE BROOKLYN COLLEGE. The fifth annual commencement at the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy, class cf 06, was held last night in Association hall. The hall was comfortably filled with triends of the graduates who wero seated upon the platform. Frederick H.

Pamphllcn, president of the college, presided, and grouped around him were the following members of the faculty: Ellas H. Bartley, Henry W. Sebelmpf, A. Per clval Lohnoas, William Anderson, D. C.

Man gan, J. F. Goldlng, Walter O'Brien and Joseph h. Mayer. A string orchestra played popular airs during the exercise, which were further enlivened by several selections from the Metropolitan quartet and Miss Kathryn Krymer.

After several numbers from the orchestra the Invocation was pronounced by the Rev. Charles Edwards, D. and Piofcssor Ellas H. Bartley, dean of the college, presented to the graduates their diplomas and certificates and conferred upon them the degree of graduate In pharmacy. He congratulated tho class upon its good work and was followed by President Pamphilon, who made a few complimentary remarks and awarded the following prizes: Harry B.

Palmer, a gold medal for general proficiency; E. C. Woodcock, a silver medal for being first man In pharmacy; Charles S.Rowlenson, a handsome microscope, the alumni prize, presented by William A. Mclntyre, president of the alumni association Tho honor rolls, which were read by Dean Bartley, were as follows: Senior honor roll Harry B. Palmer, E.

H. Jacobson, Max Gluckman, F. Schroeder, Emll Benncr, Alexander Braunsteln and Clinton 8. Ramee. The valedictory was delivered by E.

Clayton Woodcock and in gart was as follows: "Why should wo have colleges of pharmacy, is one of the first questions we ask ourselves, and of what use are they after wo have them in the second? Before any institution can be founded or any action taken with success, we must first feel the need of such an institution or action, and then it becomes our duty to produce such an institution or action, as will satisfy the requirements of the necessity. The rapid advancement of science, especially tha1 of medicine, requires that the future pharmacist should be so educated and prepared as not only to be familiar with the various advanced steps taken in tho different branches of science with which he has to deal, but also, to bo able to furnish his services, In all the different branches, in the most intelligent and trustworthy manner possible. Would It not also be abBurd for the designer, after he had planned the construction of the machine, to try, without knowledge or practice of tho instruments, to manufacture the different parts himself? It is plain each has his place and each must be qualified to perform his duty In that place to the greatest advantage to all. The people also have their requirements of the pharmacist when they take a prescription to a pharmacist. They require that he should know what is the best method of preparing that prescription, whether the drugs used are pure and In good condition, and whether they contain the proper percentage strength of medicinal agents."

FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER IN THE SECOND DEGREE. Franz Michael Schwab, who has been on trial before Judgo Hurd and a jury In tho county court for three days on two indictments charging him with murder in the first degree, for killing his wife nnd infant grandson, will not die in the electric chnir. The trial ended yesterday shortly after 6 o'clock and the jurv returned to the court room at 12:20 o'clock with a verdict of murder in the second decree. This means for Schwub imprisonment for life. It had been confidently expected bv his counsel, Bernard J.

York and A. J. Koehler. that Schwab would obtain noquittal on the trround of innanity. Thin would have meant imprisonment in tho Mattoawnn state criminal insane nsylum, with a chance of his ultimate release.

The jury returned to tho court room at 9 o'clock last evening and asked Judge Hurd for the testimony of Bernard Schwab, ouo of tho prisoner's sons, who had specified several occasions when his father, acted in a manner that led the Bon to suspect that his father was insane. The session yesterday was taken up mainly in the examination of alienists. Dr. Gray, for tho people, testified that Schwab in his opinion was not suffering from paranoia, but committed the crime either through anger or jealousy. He would not admit that hereditary taint of insaiiity existed in Schwab's case.

He did not believe "bo much in horeditary insanity as somo other alienists. IN HONOR OF THEIR FRH5ND.

Tho Bostonians at tho Montauk theater changed their bill last evening and gave, despite the hot weather, an excellent and thoroughly appreciated performance of "Prino Ananias." When this opera, by Francis Nell son and Victor Herbert, was given last year. It mado a distinct success. This was repeated last evening.

The music particularly is charming. After hearing it one become more thoroughly Impressed with the conviction that Victor Herbert Is tho most muslclan ly and tho most progressive composer ot opera scores in this country. One of those who heard "Prince Ananias" last evening became filled with an overwhelming curiosity concerning what Mr. Herbert could do In a more serious vein. A man with so thorough a knowledge of orchestration and with, so pure and delicate a vein of sentiment, should certainly be able to write something approaching the long expected American opera.

"Prince Ananias," of course, does not fill any such role. The orchestration was excellent, th melodies are bright ani tuneful, and show no trace of flippancy nor vulgarity. In It Mr. Herbert shows his technical cleverness and his mental ingenuity. The book does not reach a level with the music, fpr here and there are spots of commonplace and conventionality.

It averages very well, however, when compared with the rot which usually passes as a comic opera libretto. Jessie Bartlett Davis was superb as Idalia, Two of her solos took the house by storm. Seldom was her delightful mezzo soprano In better condition or more vibrant with feeling. William H. MacDonald took the part of Blron, an adventurer.

His voice showed the effects of a cold, but his acting was intelligent and spirited. Eugene Oowles, as Le Grabbe, gavo his magnificent bass voice full opportunity. Helen Bertram Henley, aa Ninette, showed herself possessed of a sweet soprano and to bo an actress of considerable intelligence. Next week Rice's Surprise Party will present '1492." Edward Harrigan's Company. Edward Harrlgan and his company playe4 "My Son Dan" at the Amphion theater last night, and the play win remain on the stage for the remainder of the week.

This Is the first time It has been seen In Brooklyn. As a cyclist would say of a wheel made to order, the play Is "built to reach," and it Just fits Mr. Harrigan's "reach." That is probably because he built it himself. There is a strain more of seriousness in it than appears In moBt of Mr. Harrigan's plays.

Larry Logan (Mr. Harrlgan) is a cotibler who worships his son Dan. and makes every sacrifice to give the boy Or position in life. Larry Is a stanch henefhman at Barley Miller, the ward boss, and Miller, like many another boss, has made himself solid with Larry by acts of charity and generosity. Dan'B first position was that of private secretary to Miller, who held a political Job.

Th debt of gratitude descends from the father to the eon, and when Miller comes to Dan, tells him that there Is talking of indicting him for jobbery and that Dan Is the only man In the world whose testimony can convict the young man consents to leave the country for a few months, until the election has passed and everything is "aWright." Dan is at this time a trusted employe of Amos Tuttle, a merchant, to whose daughter he Is engaged to be married. There are two sworn enemies of the Logans, Robert Gllson and his son Frank, the latter of whom Is also an employe of Mr. Tuttle and an unsuccessful suitor for the hand of Miss Tuttle. While Dan Is away his books are tampered with by Frank Gllson, to tho end that the cobbler8 son may be ruined. It's a pretty dark day for Dan when the falsified accounts are dragged into the case, but with the help ot Barley Miller and kind circumstances, he Is pulled out of the hole with honor and Gllson 1 cast Into the pit In his stead.

The sentiment of the play Is the old cobbler's affection for and unwavering faith fn his son. In fact, that is all there is to it, but it is so admirably handled by Mr. Harrlgan that it is sufficient to make the piece In many parts a delightful1 one. Larry Logan has a wit that never fails him and an honesty apart from little political deviations, which is hearty and rugged. Human sympathy Is appealed to in the last, act, when the old man sits down by the comely bureau and crie over the baby clothes and school books of his son Dan.

There are many incongruities in the play, which no attempt Is made to relieve. In fact all that part of it which does not relate directly to the old cobbler is pretty well slurred. The humor commits assault and battery on th pathos, but most of it is pretty good humor, so ft doesn't matter. There is a bit of that rol licking fun which has popularized many ot Harrigan's plays dri the second act, when the cobbler pretends lunacy for the purpose of keeping a physician, in the room for tho space of twelve minutes, In order to efTect a reconciliation between tho doctor and his wife. Anybody would laugh at the cobbler's antics.

Members of the company who are best known through association with Harrlgan and whose' work materially assists tho star in "My Son Dan," are Hattie Moore, Dan Collyer, Don Burke, Harry Fisher. Dave Brabain, Mr. Chase, George Merritt and Rose Braham, th latter a pretty young woman with a vein ot1 humor. EASTERN DISTRICT POOL TOURNEY. As tho pool toumey progresses at the bill lard parlor, 111 South Sixth street, the con testonts ore taking a more active interest.
