THE BROOKLYN DAILY KAULE. NEW YORK. TUESDAY. JULY 12. 1904.

HAD ENOUGH OF BROOKLYN. MISCELLANEOUS. LAND DENIES OF FLAG ON JULY 12 TO DICTATE TO ML gagged and then bound. No effort was made to bind his feet, but his hands were securely tied with cords. The rope around his neck indicated that he was suffocated into, insensibility before his head was battered with a club or black-Jack.

There was no In his mouth when his body was found, there were evidences about the mouth Indicating that a gag had been used to stifle cries. The police cannot tell when the murder committed, but ll i3 believed that Abbott and his man were possibly killed early night or during the afternoon. This belief is founded on the statement of Battalion Chief Matschko to the effect that he Abbott alive and apparently In the best health, sunning himself In the alley near stable door al 9:30 o'clock, or thereabouts, yesterday morning. IJ, it was not for lhat statement the condition of the bodies would Indicato that the had been dead for something over twenty-four hours. Inspector Wlegand and Sergeant Reifert the inspector's office made an examination of the premises and the bodies this forenoon.

Coroner Flaherty also made an examination and Dr. Hartung will perform autopsy some time this afternoon. N'T GO AS A SIGNAL. South of Ireland Motorman Just Held Up the System Rather Than Mind It. A GREEN FLAG TOOK ITS PLACE.

After That There Wasn't Any Trouble at the Joralemon Street Switching Station. An Irish motorman taught the Brooklyn P.npid Transit a lesson in flagging and switching this morning, and almost tied up the system. The company had a gang at work changing the switches on Joralemou street, in front of Ihe Municipal Building, and. so as to carry on the work uninterrupted, both east and west bound cars ran on the north tracks, or those on which the cars ordinarily run in going toward Court street. flagman had been placed at each end of Hie section, where the cars run on a single tiuck, and everything went off lovely for a little while.

The flagman used a red flag in signalling for the cars to stop, and the one which, to the motorman. meant "proceed slowly," was a bright, glaring orange color. The flagman permitted a few cars to run west over the single track, and then the east-bound cars were sent across, after which they were switched upon the regular south track. Good progress was being made until a South-of-lreland motorman came along on a Greenpolnt car, and then there was trouble. He shut off the power, put the brakes on heavily, and looked with contempt at the orange flag which the flagman was waving as signal for him to come ahead.

The Irishman would not budge his car and the flagman couldn't understand the reason. The motorinan'a Irish blood was boiling; not for a scrap, but he was evidently offended and the flagman was gelling frantic. The Irishman's chest showed signs of expansion and he stood there greatly mystifying the poor flagman who was doing his best to avoid a tie-up, but other cars csme alona ami something had to be done. "Wha Whit's Ihe matter wld yez? Can't yez see thot flag?" "Do yez iliink ot'm goln' t' rlcognlze the Orangemen's ag'J Alld on July 12, the Orangemen's day? Not on me lolfe! Take down thnt ft or niver budge a bit!" Persuasion and coaxing tlidn't do any good, for ihe Irish niolorman wouldn't stoop to the Orange Hag. and the flagman was obliged to send ihe car across without any flag at all.

A little while later cars were running across the switch without any interruption, for the tluginan held a red flag as a signal lo stop and a big green one to go ahead. The battle of the Boyne between King James, hacked by Hie Homan Catholic Irish men, and the Protestant legions under William of ornngc wns fought July 12, IfiSlt. The Irish er. whlpp -tl.

iel I le. rte Tr.lf l-v eielih Itellit-fld I Joel Sammis, Brought Here From Con necticut, Wants to Go Back. JoHSifcmts, who is reputed to be wealthy ihd lives at 167 Wilson street, was summoned before Magistrate Furlong in the Lee avenue court this morning on complaint of Charles Dickens, 16 years old, who says he is a resident of Bethql, Conn. Dickens is a cripple, having had both his legs cut off at the knees in a railroad accident in October last. He made a oitiful exhibition as he hobbled into court wheu the case was called.

He explained that while he was an inmate of the county farm at Richfield, Sammis, who was transacting some business in that vicinity, met him and offered him employment if he wai willing to accompany him to Brooklyn. Dickens said he was willing and he came on to this city and says he was put to work cleaning a house owned by Mrs. Sammis, at 508 Wythe avenue. He added that the house was in a filthy condition and he was made to sleep in a cellar where he understood a consumptive had previously died. Dickens further explained to Magistrate Furlong that he was also refused his wages, and concluded by declaring that he had had all he wanted of Brooklyn and was anxious to return to Richfield.

Sammis, In his own defense, admitted that he had persuaded the young man to come to Brooklyn, and that he had teen willing to bare for the cripple at his own home, but that his wife objected. Magistrate Furlong ordered Sammis to pay the expenses of Dickens back to Richfteld, which he expressed a perfect willingness to do. OBITUARY. Philip Casey. Philip.

Casey, who held the title of champion handball player of world for twen-ty-flve years, until he relinquished It about nine years ago, died at his home, 295 Degraw street, last night of cancer of the stomach, with which he had been ill for about two years. His last appearance as a hand ball player was about nine months since. He was born in Ireland fifty-six years ago, and had lived in Brooklyn in the Tenth Ward for thirty-four years. For the past fifteen years he had been a member of tho Consolidated Stock Exchange in Manhattan, and was a member of the Brooklyn handball Club since its organization. He held the office of Alderman of the Tenth Ward for two separale terms, defeating the regular candidate, John H.

O'Rourke, the first time, in 1878, ami a couplo of years after defeating McXamara. Ho was unmarried and lived with his sister, Mrs. James F. Wallace, at 295 Degratf street. He leaves two other sisters and a large number of nephews.

His reputation as a handball player was world wide. He built the present handball court at 297 Degraw slreet, for his first match with Lawlor. for the championship of the United States In 1887, and the court has been frequented by players ever since, many of them being lawyers and Jurists of a national reputation. His first match was with Bernnrd Me. Quade for the American chnmnlonshln.

and. though he had to contest for it nfterwar.i he was never defeated. His strongest personal friend was ex-Sheriff James Dunne. himself a champion hand ball player, and with Dunne he toured Europe, playing successfully against all comers. In 1871 he and Dunne went to Chicago and defeated O'Brien and Fan-on for the championship, and in 1897, or twenty-six years later, they defeated Carney nnd Keegan for the same title and a side bet of James Dunne, his old time playing partner and one of his firmest friends, said of him to-day: "He was one of the best all around men that I ever knew, both personally and as an athlete.

He never smoked or chewed and was always exceedingly temperate in his drinking. Ho was a manly man and a type for the men of to-day to follow. He began the training of John L. Sullivan for his fight with Corbett. and if John hnd followed his advice he would not have been beaten.

Bulletin Says Crimson Has No Chance at New London Against Professional Coach. MUST USE AN AMATEUR. Otherwise, Says College Yale Should Be Told to Look Elsewhere for an Opponent.

Cambridge, July 12 The recommendation that Yale should be asked to return to amateur coaching In the Harvard-Yale rowing races, failing to 'do which Harvard should discontinue the annual regatta, is contained in the leading editorial in the Harvard Bulletin, the organ of the Harvard graduntes, the monthly edition of which has Just appeared. The paper is edited by John D. Merrill, a prominent Harvard graduate, who is also an authority on rowing matters. The Bulletin says: "The boat races at New London this year again showed the truth of the statement made in the Bulletin a year ago, that If Harvard wants to beat Yale on the water the Cambridge crews must have a professional coach or neither college must have one. "Harvard was coached this year by man was paid for his services in order thu he mlKht not suffer tlnanclal loss on account of his stay in Cambridge; but Mr, Colson is not a professional In the sense that Mr.

Kennedy, the Yale coach, Is one. The former does not make, and never has made living by rowing, or by teaching rowing. 1 "The Bulletin did not approve of the selection of Mr. Colson as coach of the Harvard crew, but the distinction between hira and Mr. Kennedy is plain.

Nevertheless, Harvard is to-day a little worse off than sho was a year ago, because she has in the meantime taken a step toward the employ ment of a professional coach, a step which did not have tho approval of a majority of tno graduates and should never have Tjften sanctioned by the atnietlc committee. "The Bulletin suggests that there- is one way for Harvard to retain her graduate coaching and at the same time win her share of tho boat races that way Is, that Yale shall go back to amateur coaching. "The Bulletin believes that this is the time for Harvard to eay to Yale: 'We will continue to row with you-if you will have amateur coaching for your university crew if you are to have a professional coach, you must look elsewhere for an W. VA. REPUBLICAN CONVENTION Senator Elkins, Son-in-Law of Parker's Running Mate, Says He Should Have Headed Democratic Ticket." Wheeling, W.

July 12 The Republican state convention met here to-day with 7D2 delegates present. The campaign, made on the issue of tax reform, injected Into It by Governor White's appointment of a commission to revise the tax laws of the state, has been remarkably strenuous and has resulted in many personal encounters, three murders and Intense bitterness between the opposing. motions. William M. u.

Dawson, represents the tax reform element nnd Charles Te-ter represents the opposillon. united States Senator Stephen 13. Elkins, temporary chairman, sounded the keynote of the campaign In his speech before the convention to-day upon Inking the chair. He said in part; The Democratic- parly In Its desire to capture the stnte has nominated for Vice President one of ouit most distinguished citi zens and the foremost Democrat In the state. but In this, as in most everything else, the Democrats made a mistake.

Senator Davis, to whom I am so nearly related, and for whom I cherish feelings of highest regard, admiration and affection, Is a man of affairs and an experienced statesman, having served his state creditably In the Senate for twelve years. With these qualifications and this fitness he should have been named for the first place Instead of a man without a record and without business or political experience. West Virginia cannot be beguiled Into giving up protection and sound money to make Judgo Parker President, even If by so doing they make Senator Davis Vice President WOEK AMONO WORKING GIRLS, Y. W.

Continued From Page I. He was lying on his back and his left hand was over his breast. Within reach of the stiffened fingers and on his breast lay a revolver, one of the chambers of which bad been discharged. On the back of the right hand, which was palm downward by his side, was Abbott's purse, an old pocketbook, empty. It seemed as if the murderer, or murderers, had planned, in a drunken way, to make the police, or whoever found the bodies, believe that the carpenter had murdered Abbott, had in a fit of remorse, had im-ntecTlately after committed suicide.

But the theory did hot work, when the facts were procured. Van Busklrk was plainly murdered. He was a right-handed man and would never have used his left to pull the trigger. The theory of the firemen and the police is that the carpenter was killed first in the rocra in which he was found and by a pistol shot which put an end to his struggling at once. From the position in which the body was found it is possible that he was killed aa he lay sleeping on the floor.

The room in which he was discovered was filled so full with trash that it seemed Impossible that any human being could have slumbered there, but the neighbors say that it was not at all unusual for Van Busklrk to sleep in the place at nights. Around the walls were hanging half a dozen pairs of trousers, some vests and other artlcleg of men's apparel. Tho dead carpenter was only half dressed, a condition which strengthened the theory that he had been killed while asleep. Battalion Chief Matechke did not want to waste time in the place when ho discovered that there was no other Are there. He ran back, to the engine house and telephoned to Police Headquarters that there had been a double murder on Chapel street and that It would be necessary to send policemen there right away.

This message was dispatched to the Adams street station and to the chief of detectives, Captain Formosa. The latter sent Detective Sergeants John Brady and Peter McCormlcU, who knew Ab bott very well, around lo the place without delay, but before they reached there Policeman John McOuIre, Captain Hurkin's private secretary, had arrived on the scene. Two Swedes Employed by Abbott Arrested as Suspects. He found out very quickly that the only two suspects were Oscar Dahlgren, a Swede, aged 28 years, of 178 Fulton slreet, and Charles Victor Johnson, another Swede, aged 2o years, of 239 Pearl streel. Both of the men had been employed by Abbott as sorters, and Johnson's reputation, according to the Information that came to the policeman, was unfavorable.

He found that Dahlgren was very drunk, so tipsy, Indeed, that he could not tell a coherent, story of his doings in the last two days. Johnson was also under the Influence of liquor, but he. was not by any means so bad as Dahl gren. The officer learned that the alarm of fire had first been given by a little Italian lad, Raffaello Beneditto by name, who had gone Into the alley to sell Mr. Abbott some Junk that he had collected during the early morn ing.

He had been at the closed gale to the place and had been unable to enter. Then he saw smoke coming from the building and he had told Johnson and Dahlgren, Vho were lounging near by and who were known to the boy as having been employed by Ab bott, about the fire. He asked them to run and give an alarm, and It was they who re ported the lire at tbe engine house, half i block away. Policeman Mcuulre waa preparing to place Ihe three under custody when the two detectives from headquarters came, and with them Captain Harklns, Sergeant Mo-Corlhy, the detectives from the Adams streel station nud other policemen. With Ihe sanction cf his captain, MeGuire arrested Johnson, Dahlgren and the boy.

The latter hnd clearly nothing at all to do with tho murder, but he was held as a matter of safety, for be would prove, the police thought, lo be a valuable wlineas. Dahlgren was anslous to Incriminate Johnson when he got to the station. He told a doien rambling aud drunken atoriea abotn Johnaon't hatred of the grim old Juuk- mnn. And he said, too, that Johnson has been crazy to get aome money: that he had tried to boirow 1 10 from him (Dahlgren) on HatuM.iy, and finally sold Dahlgren his shoes for 11, In order to get enough to buy whisky, lie also said lhat Johnson bad threatened Abbott's life for being an old squeeze, and hnd more than once spoken nf his miserly habits. Another thing Dahlgren said was that Johnson had purchased a black Jack for 'i cenls on Saturday, after he had got the dollar On Prisoner, Incriminated by the Other, Hake a Denial.

There waa nothing coherent or tangible In ell that Dahlgren aald, and Johnson, no waa soberer aim much more alert to the a'luatlon, waa questioned by Captain ll.irklna. Ilia story was to the effect that he knew nothing about Ihe matter until tbe Italian had lold him that the place waa on fire, lie waa amaietl, or may have pre, tended lo be aiuazrd, when told that Abbott bd the carpenter were dead and thai Dahl gren was aaylng that he bad hand la toe nierder.

SHE CANNOT GET HER INCOME. Justice Gaynor Refuses to Grand Ho- tion for Alimony and Counsel Fee. Supreme Court Justice Gaynor this morning denied a motion for counsel fee and alimony made by the defendant yesterday in a suit for an absolute divorce, brought recently by Peter McPartland, a pawnbroker, of 121 Greenpolnt avenue, against Sarah McPartland, who is now living at 815 Foster avenue.

In the papers which are on file, there are some interesting allegations made by each party to the suit, who are well known in this borough. In her application for alimony llrs. McPartland denies all the -charges made by her husband and that connecting her name with the 'co-respondent mentioned, Charles Newman. She says she was 19 years of age at the time of her marriage to the plaintiff on October 10, 1893, and her husband was 40, although, as she says, she did not know he was so old, Prior to her marriage she received two estates, one from her mother and another from her uncle, John Fallon, amounting to Mrs. McPartland says she had been li duced by her grandfather to procure the re moval of her uncle as her guardian, although the Surrogate had commended his management of the estate and her husband was appointed in her uncle's stead.

She alleges that the plaintiff Invested her money in his business, but had paid her no Interest, and she deposes that he ia giving her $10 a week for the support of herself and family and pay for coal and a servant. The defendant further assert a that her hus-1 band Is an habitual drunkard which is dented emphatically by the plaintiff In his answer ing affidavit, bhe also alleges that he frequently insulted her and her lrleuds aud has forbidden her to have any company, not even ills own sister. She alleges he left her In January, 1899. Mrs. McPartland says she has known Newman for about three years, and admits that she has gone driving with him, but only with her grandfather's approv al.

She never remained out later than 9 P.M. with him. she says. When her sister and husband and she were living at 124 Eighth avenue, Newman was a boarder with them, Bhe says, and when tbev moved to Foster avenue Newman went with them. Mrs.

McPartland also says that by a decree of the Surrogate she became entitled to her money, but that her husband procured an injunction from the Supreme Court on the ground that she agreed to go into business wun mm, wnicii sue denies she ever agreed to. also says she agreed to cancel the proceedings before the Stirrocate under an agreement between the plaintiff and herself by which he was to give her five promissory notes. Under the agreement, she says, she has been paid $2,500 from her husband. She declares her husband's Income to be $5,000 a year. SERIOUS ACCIDENT AVERTED.

Almost by a Miracle Two Trainloads on the Elevated Were Saved From Panic or Worse. What might have been an appalling accident was narrowly averted shortly before 7 o'clock this morning on the Myrtle avenue road, about 200 feet from the Rldgewood station, when a Myrtle avenue train pulled out of the Rldgewood elation with a train-load of passengers bound for Manhattan. The train consisted of four cars filled with 200 passengers, and when Just clear of the station the two rear cars Jumped the track and crashed Into a coal shed on the elevated structure used for the storage of coal. The coal shed was entirely demolished, nd the coal was scattered about In all directions, showers falling on the slreet below, which quickly became blocked up by the wreckage. The train wss brought to a standstill as soon as possible, but not before the rear cais had bumped over the ties and atrlngers on the elevated structure and caused the wildest alarm among the passengers, many of whom were women and who became panic stricken.

Cool headed men, however, restored some aemftlance of order and fortunately no one wss Injured. The train hands as aoon as the train was stopped rushed to the aid of the passengers In the rear roachea and all were transferred to the street without difficulty. Pedeatriana on the atreet underneath the shed which was destroyed by tho train were In greater danger, and many barely cmap.d being hurled under the first shower of cost which dracended to the street and blocked up the north surface track. Word was sent lo the Hamburg avenue latlon. and Sergeant Withers and he re serves went lo the scene, but there nulh.

Wants Art Commission to Stand Still for the Lindenthal Eye-Bars Plans. J. Edward Swans! rom, who was borough president until bealen by Martin W.

Littleton, has written a letter to John DeWilt Warner, president of the Art Commission, practically demanding thnt the Best plans the Manhattan Uridine be disapproved by that body. Mr. Swanstrom does not '-mention eyebars (Liinilenthiil's iilral or cables (Best Idea), but says. "Your commission has already officially approved one design for said bridge. Prior your official aeltou therein said design was submitted to the Judgment of tin impartial commission of engineering experts the first rank which unanimously pro-nonneeH Judgment In lis fnvor.

"It stands therefore as Ihe accepted design for the Manhattan Bridge. "That, your commission appraised the tie- sign al Us true value Is evidenced by the fact that there has since been bestowed upon It the warmesi encomiums of eminent engineers and architects, both here and abroad. "Notwithstanding lhat the design has bceu accepted by a commission of experts of in ternational reputation and that it has been officially approved by your commission after due deliberation you are now asked lo approve a second design. "No reason whatsoever is advanced for this extraordinary request, nor is there any demand for a change of plans from any legitimate source or for any legitimate purpose. 'II Is obvious that-two plans for the same structure ennnot be executed.

'Your committee cannot without stultifi cation repudlute the accepted design and therefore should you also approve the proposed new design the situation will be that, there will be two existing plunB for the selfsame bridge, both officially approved bv you. "It Is a debatable question whether your commission has not exhausted lis powers In approving one design." GROUT GOING TO EUROPE. Three Weeks the Limit for His Vacation in This Gubernatorial Year.
