R. R. to New York City Hall will be opened up for traffic at about the same time in the fall of 1907. This achievement is considered as very satisfactory as far as the Brooklyn section is concerned, in view of the great engineering difficulties encountered in going under the elevated structures on Fulton street and Flatbush avenue, and providing for traffic of all kinds on those continuous, thoroughfares while the work of excavation was being carried on; also in view of the very great delay caused by the alteration of the plans so as to provide for four tracks on Fulton street and five, six and seven tracks on Flatbush avenue after a large portion of the two track tunnel called for under the original plans had been constructed. The two big tubes from Court to Clincorresponding to the tubes under ton, street, from Clinton street to the East River, and the westwardly tubes under the river, are all same as the and ready for the laying of completed the railroad tracks.

It will have entrances south of the City Hall and from the Temple Bar Building and the Low Building.

The platforms will be 350 feet long and capable of accommodating eight car trains. The Manhattan stations are for six car trains only. The station will be 60 feet wide and broed platforms will be provided. It is hoped to have the main construction of this station all done by the middle of next fall and the contract for tiling, plumbing and decoration and for the ticket offices all given out by the first of December. The decoration will be similar to that of the Wall street and Fulton street stations of Manhattan.

The next station, at Hoyt and Bridge streets, will be similar to the above described. There will be direct connection between the platform of this second station and the Abraham Straus store. Persons will go from the platforms of the downtown tracks underneath the tracks to the store elevators and from the south side of the tunnel they will go up three steps to the level the basement station within the store. The entrances and exits for the general public will be at the east and west corner of Hoyt street and on Bridge street about 20 feet north of Fulton.

M. O. WON'T ACCEPT DICTATION FROM IHMSEN Register Alfred J. Boulton Accused of Delivering Organization to Hearst's Man. NO OFFICE FOR THEM, THEY SAY If It Is Passed Out by the People at the Gilsey House, Meaning Max Ihmsen.

Max Ihmsen, the political representative of William Randolph Hearst and the dictator of the Independence League, seems to be stirring up strife in the local Municipal Ownership Leagues of Brooklyn. The Twelfth Assembly District M. 0. L. met last night at its headquarters, Sixth avenue and Ninth street, to take action on the report of a committee which had visited Mr.

Ihmsen at the Gilsey House in Manhattan on Monday night. Some heated speeches, which contained charges of "gelling out," were made. Then Chris Hill's motion, to the effect that any member who accepts office as doled out by the committee in the Gilsey House be expelled from the organization, was passed with an almost unanimous standing vote. Despite the efforts of the members to prevent it, Dan MacCauley announced the slate was what caused the trouble. It mittee at the Gilsey House.

It showed that the opposition faction in the district, which is variously known as the "Ferguson faction" and the "Brewer crowd," had not been overlooked. In fact, they were considered to such an extent that the said slate was what caused the trouble: It follows: James Brown, member of the Twelfth Assembly District M. O. executive member; Thomas K. Ferguson, from "the other bunch," chairman; Chris Hill, good worker of the organization, vice chairman; G.

A. Bruce, also of "the opposition," secretary; Sam Irvine, treasurer; E. W. Lehmann, of the M. O.

chairman of the executive committee; James Ger. present standard bearer of the Twelfth Assembly District M. O. member of the executive committee; William Metz, Dan MacCauley, William Perkins, T. O'Laughlin and Messrs.

Monroe and Alford, executive committee. Dan MacCauley went on to say that in his opinion it was a very fair conference, and that everything done tehre was open and aboveboard. Chris Hill, who is considered one of the best workers in the organization. differed with MacCauley. and then the fun began.

"Why, we were no part or parcel of that conference," said Hill. "This whole thing was all cut and dried before the committee went over there, as per resolutiong passed in meeting here. Somebody saw Coroner Brewer about the amalgamation and Ferguson was named chairman, despite the fact that he once stated out and out that he would not withdraw from his central organization. I don't want this office doped out for me, if you members do not want me to take it. In order to be in this Independence League we will have to enroll anew.

And they will not recognize us as an organization the way we stand. We will have to begin all over again." "The members were given an opportunity to select the President John Callaghan, who presided, explained. "But some members of this organization were dickering with the sub-committee in the Gilsey said Mr. Toomey, jumping feet, "else, where did they get the names?" James L. Gernon, executive member of the Twelfth Assembly District Municipal Ownership League, then made a few revelations.

"Certain people were trying to run to the Gilsey House and sell this organization," he began. "I don't go behind people's backs to say things. There are certain people here to -night who have sold this organization out. That's all there is to it. A conference was held in this room Sunday.

For what purpose? Members, you are not recognized by the Gilsey House committee as an organization. You must enroll in the Independence League. In other words, begin all over again. I don't want any office. I am glad I'm through, as far as being executive member goes.

Certain members were always for their own glory first, and for the organization as a secondary consideration. Mr. Lehmann said to me, not long ago: 'I know you are going to get an And so I did get an office." "That's getting personal," shouted Mr. Lehmann. "That's what I want to get," rejoined the executive member.

"A little game of cards was played here one day. Then this whole thing was framed up, and we got the deal last night. It there's any enrollment in the 'Independence League, and its honest and above board, I will go into it. But you will find that its methods will prevent many people from enrolling. They refused to let the districts name the candidates.

But there is only one thing to do, and that is to keep in with this organization and keep it alive." Dan MacCauley, who did not like the directness of Mr. Gernon's remarks, replied like this: "I want to say that I was always a sincere member of this organization. I have been asked many times by the Brewer faction to leave this organization and come over with them, but I always refused. For some time we have tried to get the factions in this district to form an Independence League, and I have always been a party to those efforts. Why should we antagonize a state organization.

The Independence League people merely want to come into this district. We are Municipal Ownership which is as yet confined to the municipality. I never knew my name was to be presented to that committee last night. I will swear to that. I knew of no name to be named.

I never was in the Gilsey House except when sent as a committeeman." At this juncture Chris Hill moved that It be the sense of the body that no member accept appointment to offee at the hands of the Gilsey House committee, under penalt of expulsion from the organization. This caused Fullerton Wells to exhort the members to stand by their colors and he volunteered to incorporate the organization free of charge. "Why should wo not go on the even tenor of our said Lawyer Wells. "Don't accent any dictation from anywhere. We don't want independence that is independent of the will of the people." Mr.

Lehmann. recalling some things that had been said by Mr. Gernon, got up and said: "I did not know that a single man who was named would be on the slate. Whoever says otherwise is a liar. I have not been near the Gilsey House and anybody that says I was is a liar." "The man who delivered your organization is Alfred J.

Boulton." shouted James Gernon, when Mr. Lehmann had Anished. "There's the deal," he added, after a moment. "What do we' care? This is 3 no business of ours." eaid Mr. Atherton.

"We should take no action. I move that we adjourn." "I'll withdraw my motion, then," acquiesced Mr. Hill. There were calls for the question, however, and ten Mr. Hili got up and said, em very, Gernon was right when he said Boulton delivered our organization." Then the HIll motion, exhorting members to turn down the dope of the Gilsey House committee.

was passed with an almost unanimous standing vote. The Hanover Social Club of Williams- burg held a dance last night at the Alhambra, Bergen Beach, whither they went by special cars. There was the usual large attendance. Dinner followed the dancing. These in charge were Charles 0.

Grim and Alvah Miller. EAST SIDE LIFE DEPICTED IN THE STORY OF LUCKY JIM "The Voice in the Street" Destined to Be a Much Discussed Book. CONDITIONS AT CLOSE RANGE. The Struggle of a Weak Man Against Environment-Made Strong by a Noble Woman. Alexander F.

Irvine is a man worth meeting. He thinks great, wholesome, homespun thoughts and utters them in a plain, forceful manner which carries conviction not only their truth, but of his earnest desire that they shall do good to his fellow men. In 1 the daily round of metropolitan life one sees so much of pretentious and pretenseful over-cultivation on the one hand and so much of distressful and distressing under-cultivation on the other that it is a blessed privilege to shake hands and talk a few minutes with a man who has studied, at close range, the conditions of both--a man whose sympathies are broad enough to comprehend the "upper ten thousand" and the "lower ten whose mind goes straight to the heart of things; whose charity is so great that it seeks to find the good rather than the bad in all classes of men, and whose unbiased analysis of human leads him to the optimistic conclusion "out history, of the great sins of the world come the great things of the world." This blessed privilege is enjoyed every week by the employes at the great shops of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company on Lexington avenue, from Ninetyeighth to Ninety-ninth street, Manhattan. In the noon hour, every Tuesday, Mr. Irvine, under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association, addresses, these men in one of their shops.

It is a goodly sight to see. Without promise of pomp or ceremony to invite them, the men come flocking by the hundred in their working garbs to hear this simple-minded, single-hearted man tell the impressive stories of his life among the tragedies and comedies of the great seething "East Side." These stories have more than the passing interest of entertainment. They concern the active ties of life. They make one pause and think. They enlarge the view and broaden the sympathy.

They bring the one-half of the world to know how, and why, the other halt lives. Mr. 'Irvine chose as the subject of his brief talk this week a great book which he had just been reading and which had made a deep impression on him by reason of its truthful depictions of East Side life and its forceful account of the battle that raged within one man between his better instincts and the sins and follies incident to that life. This book, entitled "The Voice in the Street," has just been published by A. S.

Barnes and is destined, if I mistake not, to be a much-discussed story within the next few weeks. It is of the sort that grips the heart and leaves one all the better for having read it. Mr. Irvine hoped that all his hearers at the meeting yesterday would read it, and I hope that you, my readers, will do the same. It will entertain you.

It will instruct you in phases of life about which many of you, presumably, know but little. But above all, it will encourage you in your own battles against the follies that beset you--the follies that beset us all. The book was written by Ernest Poole, a young man who strives for something more than literary reputation, and is illustrated by a young Italian immigrant named Joseph Strelli. It is the story of one "Lucky upon whom Nature bestowed a wonderful voice, but over whose right ambitions environment had thrown a deadly damp. The book is a simple account of the struggle of a weak man against that environment a weak man finally made strong by the great, selfsacrificing love of a noble woman.

That is all; but then, that is the greatest thing in the world. Mr. Irvine did not tell much of the story, nor do I intend to do so. He preferred that his hearers, and 1 prefer that my readers, go to the book itself for that. He did, however, point out the true nobility of Gretchen's great sacrifice for the uplifting of the man she loved and the cultivation of the beautiful voice of which Nature had made him the custodian.

It is related by travelers that in certain South American countries there are millions and millions of migratory ants, and that when, in the course of their migrations, they come to a stream, the ants in the van of the countless army march into the water and deliberately suffer themselves to be drowned, in order that the main horde may cross upon the dam made by their dead bodies. I have always had doubts about the deliberateness of this act, but assuming that the supposition of the travelers is correct, still the sacrifice of those leading ants would be as nothing compared to the sacrifice deliberately made by the heroine of this story, "The Voice in the Street." Nor is she an impossible or even overdrawn character. She not only might be: she is. Nor yet 1s she to be found only in the humbler walks of life. She belongs to the great sisterhood of woman, of noble woman, from whom neither education nor environment can wholly efface the great natural instinct to uplift the man of her love, even though it be upon the wreck of her very soul.

I had intended to tell more of the meeting at the shops and less of this book, but the greater interest has absorbed the lesser in my mind, as it seemed to do in the mind of Mr. Irvine. It was a glorious thing to hear him, a preacher, speaking for the Young Mens' Christian Association, Day, after graphically describing Gretchen's self-imposed degradation, that: "Out of the great sins of the world come the great songs and the great things of the world." It is through the voicing of the warm heartthrobs of such as this that the world must advance toward a broader brotherhood and a happier condition. WILLIS BROOKS. BURCHELL-WARWICK.

The wedding of Miss Agnes Mabel Warwick and Charles Edmund Burchell was solemnized Tuesday evening by the Rev. Dr. Pierce of the Hendrick Street Baptist Church at the home of the bride, 1278 Bushwick avenue. The bridal party consisted of Miss Gertrude Ledge of Worcester, as bridesmaid; Master Robert Klingman as page and William Milroy of Prescott, Canada, as best man. The ushers were George H.

Warwick and Benjamin F. Fink. The bride was dressed in white china silk, trimmed with mecklin lace. She carried a bouquet of white sweet peas. The bridesmaid was dressed in pink organdie and carried a bouquet of pink roses.

The young couple are now in Niagara Falls and will go from there to the Thousand Islands and to Montreal, Canada, after which they will take up their residence at 805 Putnam avenue. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. George H. Warwick, father and mother of the bride; Charles Ledge, Mrs.

Charles Wilson Greet Mr. and Mrs. Pussi at Steamship Pier. ROMANCE BEGAN IN NAPLES. Gen, Wilson Wanted 1 to Make the Announcement, but Customs Declaration Got Ahead of Him.

There was the suggestion of a pretty romance in the return to America to-day on the North German Lloyd steamship Koenigin Luise, of the daughter of General Charles Wilson, U. S. retired, who is known as the Daughter of Liberty, inasmuch as she was born on Bedloe's Island when her father was the commandant of the military post there. Miss Wilson. that was, came under the name of "Frau on the Koenigin Luise's printed passenger list.

On the ship's manifest she appeared as "Gertrude T. Peck," but underneath the last name name of Pucci had been written by the ship's purser. her on the steamship was Pasquale Pucci, a stalwart and handsome young Italian, whose age was officially given as 30, and whose occupation in Naples was that of a shipping merchant. General Wilson, when he was asked about his daughter's marriage, said that it was a matter that did not concern the public, It appeared, however, that the young woman herself had not been backward in announcing the fact of her marriage when she made her customs declaration on board the Koenigin Luise on the way up to the Hoboken pier. She said that she was American born, the daughter of General Wilson, and that she had been abroad about a year.

She gave her name as Mrs. Pucci in making her customs declaration and was known as Mrs. Pucci all the way over from Naples, from whence the Koenigin Luise sailed. The young couple kept much to themselves, according to the other cabin passenger on the steamship. They formed no acquaintances and did not join in the general merriment aboard ship.

The ship's manifest further gave the information, on the part of Signor Pasquale Pucci. that he was "going to visit my father-in-law, General Wilson, at 66 Madison avenue, Manhattan," and that he came as a tourist, Mrs. Pucci, nee Wilson, was dressed becomingly in a blue suit, wore musketeer gloves of tan and a pretty hat trimmed with roses. Mr. Pucci wore a blue doublebreasted suit of immaculate cut, and would have passed as an American anywhere except for his dark complexion.

He is a handsome man, very erect and extremely dignifled. The reception of the young couple on the pier. by General and Mrs Wilson was hearty and the four remained together on the pier until the examination of the baggage had been completed. General Wilson, while declining to say anything about his daughter except that she was, indeed, the girl who was born on Liberty Island when the General was the commandant of that post, said that his daughter had been abroad a year on this occasion. Inasmuch as he would not admit that she had returned a married woman he would not say that the return of Miss Wilson a8 Mrs.

Pucci was a surprise to him. "My daughter merely had her baggage put under Mr. Pucci's name for the sake of convenience." said the old army veteran. "But how do you account for the fact that Mr. Pucci has declared he comes here to visit you, and the fact that he refers to you as his father-in-law?" the general was asked.

"About that I won't say a word," said the general. "If anything is to be announced I should like to make that announcement myself. If my daughter said anything about her being married on board the ship, it is unfortunate, that's all." The happiness of the former Miss Wilson was apparent, however, and her father's beaming face seemed to belie the denials that there had been a romance on Dan Cupid's part since Miss Wilson sailed away from these shores a year ago. BOYD-WHITING. A wedding of great interest to residents of the Eastern District, and which attracted many people from neighboring cities, was that last night of Miss Betsy Whiting, the charming daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. W. J. Whiting, who was married to Charles Allen Boyd, of Bloomfield, N. at the home of the bride, 208 Hewes street.

The color scheme of the decorations was pink. A string orchestra played the "Wedding when the bridal party entered. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Charles Kendel, of Trinity Church, New Dorp, Staten Island, and took place beneath a floral bower in the front parlor. Miss Whiting was handsomely gowned in a dress of chiffon, over liberty satin, trimmed with duchess lace, and she carried A bouquet of lilies of the valley.

GOVERNORS ISLAND HAS A NEW CHAPEL Curious Story of How It Was First Built- Trinity Church Interest. MEXICAN WAR MEMENTOES. Battle Flags and Shields of General Taylor's Men- -Memorials to General and Mrs. Hancock, For some days past people on the Heights and along the water front have noticed with a good deal of curiosity a brownish white, square tower arise above belt of graceful willows that fringe the southerly and easterly shores of Governors Island. Some said it was General Fred D.

Grant's new residence; others that it was a new defense for the harbor. Yesterday the Stars and Stripes floated from its castellated summit. An Eagle reporter who visited the island to ascertain what it meant, learned that the tower is part of a handsome new Episcopal chapel of St. Cornelius, and that the flag merely denoted that the masons had finished their labors. The new chapel is a remarkably handsome structure.

It has not been erected by the War Department, as might be supposed, but by the corporation of Trinity Church, and therein lies a curious story. The chapel has been erected just east of the old South Fort, now hidden by trees, the half moon battery that for long years past has guarded Buttermilk Channel just opposite Atlantic Dock. The battery site's grass-grown surface still carries a lot of old smooth bore guns, but buildings have been turned into the officers club. The new chapel is a handsome cruciform structure of soft hued brownish white Indiana limestone, finished in rough ashler work. At the northeast corner rises the 65-foot castellated tower referred to.

At each corner of this is an octagonal turret, built into the tower from the foundations, and castellated also. The entrance to the chapel 15 through this tower. Interiorly, the chapel is 110 feet in length and 36 feet wide; the transept feet long and 36 feet wide. The whole style is what is architecturally known as perpendicular gothic. A handsome pointed arch separates the chancel from the nave.

At the east and west ends are large pointed windows, with smaller ones in the transept, the nave and in the tower, which latter is three stories in height. The outer structure is finished with buttresses. The high pitched roof is of slate; inside the hammer beams are of North Carolina yellow pine and the woodwork will be stained a dark mahogany color and varnished. The whole structure is lined with hollow brick to prevent moisture in winter and heat in summer and plastered in cement. Beneath the nave is a cript with mortuary EnapeR Chaplain Edward Banks Smith says the whole structure is modeled after an English fourteenth century church.

There are two buttresses on the ends and three on each of the sides. The east window is to be a memorial to Major General and Mrs. Hancock, erected by friends of their families at a cost of $1,000. This, as well as tht other windows, is made by Hardman, of London. The entire glass will cost $11,000, including this memorial window.

The a structure will be lighted by electricity and will have 8 seating capacity of 500, Although this graceful little church is cruciform inside, the outside is irregular at the chancel end of the structure. This is Que to the fact that on the left hand of the chancel there is a chapel dedicated to St. Alban and on the opposite side a vestry and choir room. The architect is Charles Haight, of Fifth avenue, Manhattan, and the contractor, J. C.

Vreeland, 1 Madison avenue, Manhattan. The chapel is surrounded by graceful willow trees up and down which squirrels were scurrying yesterday as fearlessly as kittens. Behind the erection of this chapel lies a curious story as told by Chaplain Smith to an Eagle reporter in his office in the old chapel which stands a few yards to the westward of the new structure. The former is a frame cruciform builting with a little open bell turret on top. By the door is a tablet inscribed, "St.

Cornelius Post Chapel. A. 1846. Sunday services, A.M.. Sunday School.

10 A.M. Saints' Days, Holy Communion, 9 A.M." The chapel is lit with stained glass windows of the old fashioned diamond paned leaden frames that diffuse a dim religious light within, but 1s furnished with electric lights also. The nave is hung with battle flags. These are to be transferred to the new chapel, along the sides of which steel tubes have been let into the walls for their reception. Still more interesting are a number of shields that bang in the transept opposite the or gan loft.

Two of these have beneath them this inscription: "These Shields are set up at the cost of the Soldiers returned from Mexico, 1848." Another reads: "Wreck of the San Francisco, Christmas, 1853. The survivors of the Third Artillery, In sorrow and In thankfulness, hang up this shield." It is commemorative of a sad tale of disaster and loss of life at sea. The two Mexican shields are inscribed as follows: "Thou, 0 Lord. has covered my head In the day of battle." and "Thy truth shall be my shield and Others are inscribed: "'Third Artillery, October, November, December, Whit-Sunday, 1853.1 "First Regiment Artillery, Companies and E. These are good soldiers of Jesus Christ; 1849." "Recruiting Depot, came 17th March, 1842; inscribed these to the glory of God, Trinity Sunday, 1849." "Fourth Regiment, Infantry, June- July, 1852." These mementoes of the days of General Zachary Taylor and the Mexican War will also be carefully removed and set up in the new chapel along with the tattered battle flags.
