Tbe 5,000 Russian colonists of Brownsville, in the Eastern District of Brooklyn, are still greatly excited orer the death of Behr Israelson, who died In a police patrol wagon after having been arrested by l-ollceman Thomas 1'. Clark on Friday night for Interfering with an arrest Clark was makltaj. The funeral of Israelson Is to tako place 4 o'clock this afternoon, aad the Btreets BrownsTlllo present an appearance usually seen only after some national calamity. Many places ot business in which the colonists ure Interested are draped with black and all business Is suspended. The most Intenso feeling exists against Police, man Clark, who Is denounced on every hand as Isravlion's murderer.

At a meeting held last night In Morris Hall, on Osborne street, 3U0 ot the dead man's friends crowded Into tbe room and a half dozen formal addresses were made, In which it was suggested that a fund be raised to be used In making a thorough Investigation ot the causes of lsraelson's death. In ten minutes tsio was subscribed. A committee was appointed to call upon Howo Ilummell and retain the lawyers to take chargo of the case. The committee Is made up of Solomon Wolf and Louis Itatner, two wealthy builders ot Brownsville, toge'her with Coroner Levy, who Is I'resldcnt of the Hebrew Emigrant Protective Absoclatlon. These three called at Howo Hummell's omce this forenoon and left a retainer.

The Committee then went out to select five physicians of acknowledged reputation, who will, previous to Its Interment this afternoon, make another autopsy upon the body, which was examined by Am-bulunce Burgeon Gallagher shortly after death and later by Deputy Coroner Creamer, of Brooklyn. Both officials gave it as their opinion that Israelson died trom apoplexy resulting from excitement attendant on the arrest. This tbe friends of Israelson say Is not true. Tbey Insist that the raan died trom the effects of tbe choking and clubbing receled at the hands ot Policeman Clark. lsraelson's relatives say that be was In per-feet health ou the day of his death and bad never shown any symytoms of apoplexy.

Tho shooting occurred In Iront ot tho saloon at tbe corner of Twenty-sixth street and Third avenue, In which a man named Carpenter stabbed bis wife to death several years ago and afterwards took bis own life In the Tombs.

Kelly, the wounded man, was In tho company of James McSherry, ot 3S4 West Twenty-fourth street, and Antonio Woychln-skce. who lives at 618 Third avenue.

All three bad been drinking, and shortly before the shooting they went Into the saloon on the corner to have another drink. When tbey came out they got Into an altercation with Sauzaravlnl.who was cleaning up his stand. The latter whipped out a big revolver, and fired three shots. Two were directed at WoychlnBkce, but missed him. Tbe third bullet struck Kelly In tbe back.

He staggered as far as the next house and then fell to the sidewalk. Tbe Italian tiled to escape. He ran down Twenty-sixth street towards Second avenue with several persons alter blm.

A lane crowd gathered on the sidewalk In front ot the house, and there wero cries of "Lynch him "Shoot him and "Let's hang html" But for the timely arrival of omcer McCoy it would doubtless hao lured badly with the Italian.

Fcbt II a wilton, July is The first day ot realtor work the 350 young men comprising tho First Battalion of tho New Y'ork Naval lteserve began at sunrise tht'i morning, when tne amateur men-o'-warsmen awoke to find thcmseUesln an atmosphere ot naval war-faro. It was tho third day nf tbo second annual cruise and when these would-be naval warriors Jumped out of their hammocks on board the old frigate New Hampshire, and donned their suits ot canvas duck, tbey showed clearly tbat they were bent on learning all tbe mysteries ot tbe ponderous guns and other Instruments ot death that wero to bi displayed before tbelr gaze on tho cruisers Chicago and Atlanta during the day. It was a most beautliul morning In the bay. A breezu from tho southwest kept the young sallormen cool and sharpened their appetites keenly. Admiral Walker's squadron, consisting of the Chicago and the Atlanta, Is lying In Oravesend Bay, just south of Fort Hamilton Point.

a he New Hampshire Is stationed at a point south of the white cruisers. The prcsenco of tbe vessels was a powerful factor In drawing crowds to the shoro jestcrday, and tbls morning there were groups of curiosity-seekers at various points along tbo beach and bluff, and they watched with Interest tbo big men-of-war as they heaved to and fro in the rising tide. commander Miller, of tbe lteserve, and bis staff were up early, and before breakfest bad perfected all arrangements for carrying out the day's programme. The young sailormen were mustered on the main deck at 8.47 o'clock, and through tbelr division chiefs were Instructed as to the things they were to do on board the Chicago and Atlanta. Then, fully equipped, the four divisions of the First Battalion, led by Lleuts.

Forahew Green, W. Butler Duncan, and Mowbray, marched down tho gangway and cnterea tho boats. Six steam-barges from tho Chicago and At. lanta were on hand to tow tbo Btrlng of boats to the vessels. To save time twenty men manned each boat, and the procession started.

Ihe first, and, lout th divisions were taken to the Atlanta, followed by the two divisions from Itochester. The second and tblrd divisions went aboard tbe Chicago, and for the second time In the history or the Reserve the men wero on a level with their regular salt water brethren. Everything was In readiness aboard the cruiser for the reception of the naval militiamen. The blue Jackets on both vessels had the gun decks and brasswork clean and polished, and the regulars from tho Captain down to the humblest marine were dressed In their nattiest uniforms. Tbe captains ot the two cruisers welcomed tho boat loads of young men at o.

15 o'clock and the various divisions were divided Into squads or details, each In charge of a regular officer. Por an hour tbe young men Inspected the big ten-inch guns and listened to the explanation of their working, as gUen ny ensigns and Junior grade lieutenants. For another hour the technicalities of the secondary battery, comprising principally tbe (Jailing and Hotchklss guns, were carefully discussed, and to relieve the monotony of the Instruction the young warriors were allow cd to point tho guns at Imaginary foos. Thero was no actual firing. The young men will have an opportunity to do this later on.

At 11.30 o'clock, the boats were run alongside the cruisers and tbe "Young 'uns," as tho regular salts characterize them, wt re taken aboard and transferred to lbs New Hampshire for dinner. The unanimous verdict was that the mcrn-Ing was well spent, and tbe famlMarlty with whlcu the various points of the main and secondary batteries of tbe cruisers were discussed convinced Commander Miller that tho cruise bo an otcrwbcltnlng succebs. The men sat around and smoked after dinner until o'clock, when tbey went again aboard the cruisers to le shown how tho guns were prepared tor firing. The yacht Vamoose, the despatch boat of the lteserve, went to New Y'ork nt noon to convey Admiral Walker to tho squadron. The men will bo given a holiday this evening, and to-morrow they will be taken down to Sandy Hook tor target practice.

Itaceland's mile In 1.4014 and Slelpner's race for the same dlrtance In 1.40 makes plain the fallacy of bringing forward the time list as an excuse for Ma Belle's performance on Wednesday last, it is claimed tbat Ma Belle has never ran a mile better than 1. 41:14. 'Ibis doesn't prove tbat sho cannot best, Fagot at the distance. Tskln thi time of tbe races 01 Kaceland and Slelpner on Saturday for Instance, ono would be wlillrg to agcr that Slelpner could deleat "Old Bones at a mile as tbe, former carried six pounds more weight than tbe latter and ran In faster time.

This will be received by the public witn disfavor, straight races are not popular.
