12 SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS, SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. HE WANTS PROOF MARRIAGES and DEATHS IS CREW OF THE ARLINGTON FELL INTO 0000 HANDS STABBED BY WIFE The Only Why I Was Story of Removed! EBingham First Time WsW IVV Told for the Van Norden at fF.Yrliisivpiy) Out To-Day HIS IDENTITY I etter States That Mother Never Told Him His Name Was Solomon. 'NOT LOOKING FOR MONEY." Strange Dispute Brought About by young Man' Marriage to Sarah McDonough. Stating that Mrs. Warnke had never told blm that he wag not her son, the young man referred to In yesterday's Eagle as Edward Warnke, who married Miss Sadie McDonough without Mrs.

Warnke's consent, has added another chapter to the peculiar story which was printed yesterday. Mrs. Warnke stated yesterday that many years ago, on request, she had taken a baby boy from a poor woman named Solomon and raised him as her son. She said that she always told him, however, that If he should marry he must use his own name, which she says is Isaac Solomon. The young man in a letter to the Eagle to-day absolutely contradicts Mra.

Warnke's story. His letter Is as follows: "To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: "I noticed an article In your paper on August 17 about a woman calling at your office for you to Insert an ad. She claims that I am not her son, but had used her name all my life. She never told me anything about my not being her son, and 1 would like to make her prove it. I was married to Sarah McDonougn sn May 4, 1909.

under the name of Warnke, not knowing any other. "She called at 182 York street August 16, 1909, saying her son sent her to see the marriage license, which, when she saw it, she tried to destroy. Not doing so. she became excited and said she was abused. Then, for the first time, she said I was not her son.

If I am not her son who is that poor woman she spenks of named Solomon, or where is further proof? "I am not looking for any money from her, which sha saya I am. The only thing she ever told me was that I was born April 17, 1888. E. WARNKE. "Please publish this in answer to her advertisement and oblige, E.

Mrs. Warnke waa out this morning when a reporter called to see her, but a young man who described himself as her stepson came to the door, and said that what was printed In yesterday's paper wan correct. He said that Mrs. Warnke had adopted the boy fifteen years ago, and that she always called him "Eward," not Edward. He said that the young man who has Just bean parried was known as Edward, however, by his friends.

When asked for any proof that there might be to substantiate Mrs: Warnke's statements, he said that ne would leave that to his mother, who knew what she was talking about. At 182 York street a tenant informed the reporter that the McDonoughs lived in the house two dors helow, at No. 17. At this houne It was said that Mrs. Warnke as she is known, was out, and would be gone all day.

The young husband was out also, and the neighbors professed no knowledge of his whereabouts. DECREASE OF ACCIDENTS. In July There Were 538 Less Than in Corresponding Month of Last Tear.

Portland Welcomes the Evangelist Whom Brooklyn Has Good Reason to Remember. Portland, August 18 The schooner yacht Corona, the flagship of the fleet of the Holy Ghost and Us Society, with the Rev.

Frank W. Sandford, the leader of the sect, and twenty-eight disciples, on board, arrived in Portland harbor yesterday, Just three years since she started on her cruise around the world. The Rer. Mr. Sandford had very little to say about the long cruise or his plans lor the future.

He had started out with the Intention of converting the world, but the accounts of his arrival at various ports during the three years trip seemed to Indicate that most of the time 'was spent on the water, far from land. Last April the Corona was heard of in Cape Town, South Africa, where she had ar rived from Melbourne, Australia, making the voyage from port to port in four months at an average speed of fifty miles per day. The sailing master of the Corona is Captain L. S. McKenzie, who has the reputation of being one of the most skillful uaigiors in America.

It would take a good navigator to sail all around the world In the Corona, which is an old yacht, only seventy feet over all. The Corona was formerly owned by Louis Bossert of Brooklyn. She was formerly called the Coronet, but was never celebrated for speed. She was bought by Sandford several years ago, after he had his religious settlement at Shiloh, well established. The Rev.

Mr. Sandford paid a visit to Brooklyn in the winter of 1901, anJ established headquarters at Court and Harrison streets In a hall. He had very little success here, and left town hurriedly when he was threatened with prosecution by ths Brooklyn Children's Aid Society. He had baptized a very few converts, among them a girl of 17 years, In the Icy waters of the lower bay, and one of his converts, a Miss Daniels of 21 Strong place, died from the chill of immersion. He fled to Stony Brook, and there secured three or four converts, one of whom gave him $4,000, all she had In the world.

The Stony Brook delegation followed him to Maine, and when they wished to return they were obliged to send to their frlenda for car fare, as he refused to give them a cent. He is reputed to control property worth $3,000,000, all given to him by his followers. NEARLY FATAL CURIOSITY. Switch Repairer Leaned Out of Tower and Fell to Track Touched Third Rail. John Wescott, 82 years old, a switch repairer in the employ of the B.

R. is recovering to-day from the effects of injuries received when he fell from a window of the elevated railroad switch tbwer at Lexington avenue and Broadway yesterday. Wescott, whose business It is to go from tower to tower and repair the machinery which controls the switches, was sitting at one of the large windows In the Lexington avenue tower when something in the street attracted his attention. He became so Interested that before he could realize how far out he was lean ing he lost his balance and fell, landing on the upbound track close to the third rail. Some people In the street saw Wescott fall and told Sergeant William Koenlg of the Ralph avenue station, who was Just beneath the tower.

He ran to the Gates avenue station, half a block away, and thence along the track until he reached Wescott. Koenlg wrapped his rubber coat around the man and carried him Into the switch tower, from where an ambulance was called. The next upbound train was stopped and Wescott was taken to the platform of tne uates avenue station, where his wounds were dressed. They consisted for the most part of lacerations about the face and head, his hand being but slightly burnt from its contact with the third rail. CONFESSES THEFT OF MONEY.

Harry Gardiner's Conscience Had Troubled Him Ever Since He Bobbed His Employer. 'If ever a man has been punished, I am the man," said Harry Gardiner, 89 years old, of 95 High street, Brooklyn, after confessing to a charge of grand larceny to Magistrate Barlow In the Tombs Court in Manhattan to-day. "I suffered the punishment of hell, and I am glad now that it is all over. I think the worst punishment was the loss of friendship with my employer, from whom I stole the money." Gardiner was formerly night manager of Kalll's restaurant, at 61 Cortlandt street, Manhattan. On the night of August 17, 1906, he made away with the receipts of the evening, amounting to approximately (400.

He disappeared, and was not heard from until to-day, when he ves arrested in Brooklyn. Gardiner told the detectives that cer tain relatives were seriously 111 in England, and that he wanted to go to them. He had not other means of getting there, so he took the money. From New York he went to Montreal, Canada, and from there sailed for England, only to And that his kin had died in the meantime. "1 came back heartbroken," he said.

And since then my conscience has tor tured me. I have been tempted many times to give myself up, but the disgrace of it all was too much for me. Now I am glad it is all over, and I am willing to take what punishment may be given me. The prisoner was reminded of his rights in court before be made his confession, and Magistrate Barlow held him In $1,000 bail for trial in the Court of General Sessions. HAD SERVANT ARRESTED.

Dr. Bremer Accused Girl of Taking Things During Wife's Absence. She Denies It. Lawyer Harry Howard Dale, In the Bedford avenue court this morning, de nounced the arrest of Stella Zaloska, 21 years old, of 185 Eagle street, as an out rage. The young woman Is employed as servant in the family of Dr.

J. Henry Bremer at 166 Noble street. He accused her with stealing a coat belonging to his wife, who is in the country, together with table linen and silverware, valued at $300. Lawyer Dale admitted, however, that the girl had taken the coat, but it was an old rubber one, valued at about 30 cents, and that she had the consent of Mrs. Bremer to use It.

Of the table linen and silverware she protested she knew noth ing. Magistrate Higginbotham remanded the accused lor further examination. Captain and Men of Wrecked Schooner Well Cared for at Long Beach. GOT SHELTER, FOOD AND CASH Mate Was at Wheel When Vessel Stranded "Pooled" by Hotel Lights, Mistaken for Liner's. (Special to the Eagle.) Long Beach, L.

August 18 That some good comes out of many mlsfor tunes both on land and sea was exem plifted by the stranding of the schooner Arlington on the sand bar which skirts this beach, yesterday morning, and that Captain Small and his crew are deeply grateful for the kindness shown them by the management and patrons of the Nassau Hotel was made manifest by their profuse thanks. The Long Beach life saving crew, which looked after Joe Billings, the aged Mexican cook of the schooner, who had to be cast into the sea before he could be rescued, shared in the thanks of Captain Small and his men. Given shelter, food, clothing; medical attendance and money, the shipwrecked sailors felt that they could not have 1 landed In a better spot and that it must have been providential. William Brown, the little negro boy, who was the mascot of the unfortunate vessel, was among the happiest of the crew, despite the fact that his right foot had been Injured by a Jamming on board the schooner after it had grounded. He smiled broadly as his foot was placed In medicated bandages by one of the hotel physicians, and.

his face fairly beamed with delight as he lay on a comfortable bed in the hotel, the object of much attention and questioning about his experience in getting shipwrecked and saved from a watery grave. The boy said he was not afraid when the Arlington struck and was pounded by the giant seas that swept over her decks. He said he had been on the water for Beveral years and had no fear In the company of Captain Small. Captain Small, who was frequently In. terviewed by newspaper men and others, seemed to bemoan the fate that had befallen him and his vessel more than any of the crew, except the mate, S.

Davis, who was on wateh when the grounding occurred. The captain said It was haru luck for him, while the mate said, "It is my fault that the Arlington grounded." "I guess I have been sailing lout, enough," Captain Small said with a tinge of sadness In his voice. "ThiB is my first catastrophe, and I hope it will be the last." The captain said the Arlington had left Portland. lust a week ago yesterday, coming to New York light. The cargo of coal, about 800 tons, had been taken on at Guttenburg, N.

and the voyage to Mavnort. began on Sunday n.orning. The storm whioh drove the vessel off her course had been felt severely when off Barnegat, but the Arlington seemed to be holding her course In the teeth of the gale. "I saw the Highland lights about mid night, Monday." said the captain, "and figured that we were all right. So we were until the strong current that sweeps along the Long Island coast and around Jersey caught us.

That's what drove us on here. Mate Davis said the lights of the Nas sau Hotel fooled him. but how the white lights of the hotel could be taken for those of an ocean liner, which generally carries colored lights as well as white, is something that is not clear to the minds of many of the "old salts" of the south shore. The belief of many Daymen is that the schooner was blown entirely off her course by the heavy southeast gale. The vessel was not reefed, which makes It appear that the captain thought she could carry full sail with such a heavy ballast as the cargo of coal and that he made up his mind to "get somewhere or nowhere" in the storm.

A number of vessels have shared the fate of the Arlington in traveling along the south coast in heavy weather, so that sho is no exception. Few, if any, of the vessels wrecked on Long Beaih have settled In the water as soon as the Arlington. A short time after she had struck on the bar she was submerged, except her bow ard stern, and her back bone was broken. This is accounted for by the heavy dead weight cargo she carried and the roughness of the sea. She will leave her bones on the beach without a doubt, and the beach combers, as the native cargo-seekers are called, will doubtless be enabled to lay in a good supply of small coal for the winter.

Captain Small expects to go aboard the schooner to-day. The vessel carried a good supply of provisions, mainly canned goods, and these will be taken off If they can be reached. The captain and crew also have some valuables aboard, and may be able to take off some of them. No word has come from Madden Petersen, the sailor who went adrift on one of the vessel's hatches. He was reported to have made a safe landing at one of the Rockaways, but none of the life crews nor the police there have any record of his being picked up.

It Is believed he was swept from his insecure raf-t and drowned. His body is now being looked for. LAST OF THE CARNEGIE. Yesterday's Gnle Finished Destruction of Schooner Ashore OS Moriches Since May Last, (Special to the Eagle.) East Moriches, L. August 18 Yesterday's easterly gale proved too much for the sunken, stranded schooner William C.

Carnegie, which bad remained in one position, with all five masts as plumb as though she were lying In a harbor, but with her decks submerged, since she stranded early on the morning of May 1 last. Yesterday's gale completed the work of destruction, and now the Carne gie Is an absolute wreck. She was owned by Wlnslow Co. of Portland, and was the Becond of their big schooners to be wrecked near the same spot within the last two years, the other being the Miles M. Merry, which came to her end after two strand-lngs at the same place.

WAGON RAN OVER DRIVER. While driving a team of horses attached to his heavy truck, along Glen-more avenue, yesterday afternoon. Camper Varnka, 40 years old, of South road, Woodhaven, accidentally fell from his seat when passing the corner of Crescent street and fell to the ground In front of the wagon. The heavy wheels passed over hia body, fracturing his right arm and otherwise injuring him. He was treated by Ambulance Surgeon Cummins of the Bradford Street Hospital and sent to his home at Woodhaven.

PORTER KILLED BY A TRAIN. Louis H. Blackwell, 30 years old, of 206 West One Hundred and Fifth street, Manhattan, a negro poTter, employed In the Grand Central depot, was tugging a heavily laden baggage truck down a platform opposite Forty-third street and Depew place, early this morning, when the motor car of an Incoming suburban train struck some of the trunks and, overturning the truck, Blackwell was fatally crushed. He died two hours after being taken to the emergency hospital In the depot. Mrs.

Augusta Crisanti Killed Her Husband Luigi in Self-Defense. THREATENED TO SHOOT HER. Tragedy in East Side Tenement if Manhattan the Result of a Series of Quarrels. In the sight of her four children, Mrs. Augusta Crisanti, 45 years old, stabbed her husband, Luigi, 60 years old, to death this morning In their rooms on the top floor of the five story tenement house at 171 Avenue Manhattan.

The murder followed an attempt of the husband to shoot bis wife, and this was only pre vented through their 18-year-old son, Alfred, knocking the revolver from his hands. "I grabbed up my husband's shoe maker's knife as he was about to shoot me and I killed him," said the woman as the police broke into the rooms. The four children at the time were huddled to gether in a corner, all to hysterical to give an account of the quarrel which was followed by the murder. After the woman bad been taken to the Fifth street police station, the children were questioned, and from them it was learned that their father was jealous of his wife, and on several occasions had driven them from their home. During the time the couple have lived in the three rooms on the top floor of the five-story tenement house at the address In Avenue Crisanti, who was a cobbler, had not worked.

Frequently he quarreled with his wife, and on one occasion, last Monday, during the heavy rain storm, he put her and the children out Into the street. Awakenng shortly after 6 o'clock this morning, the couple got up and bad their breakfast, leaving their four children Alfred. 18: Mary. 16; Paul, 11. and Jo sephine, 9 years old asleep In two beds in the kitchen.

Shortly afterward, Eugene Chlcerilll, a longshoreman, who has known the family since they came to this coun try and who has lived with them during the last three months and assisted them greatly in getting the house together, got up and left for his work along the East River. From all appearances, immediately after Chlcerilll left, the husband and wife started to Quarrel. Their words awak ened the children the four got up from their beds and remained in the kitchen, fearing to go Into the front room, where their parents were. Finally. Alfred, after telling his brother and sisters to remain where they were, went to the room, and he saw his mother standing near the bed.

His father was near her, and the two were liuarrellng. As he went toward them, the bov saw that his father had a revolver behind his back and that la his mother's hand was a four-Inch Bhoemaker knife. As he approached the two, the father, he says, pointed the weapon at his mother and shouted: "Now I am going to shoot you!" As the boy heard this, he jumped forward and knocked the revolver from his father's band. The father struggled and grabbed the weapon, but the boy managed to hold his arms, and, as he was doing so, his mother sprang forward and lunged the knife Into her husband's breast. He reeled and fell over, dead, on the bed.

The woman, when the police arrived, frankly admitted that' she' had murdered her husband and said that she had done so because she would have been killed. She with the children, was taken to the Fifth street police station, where they were questioned by Coroner Acrltelll. "He quarreled with me when we got up," Mrs. Crisanti said, "and asked me where his revolver was. He told me when' get got it that he had bought it to shoot me, and when he got it 'this morning I grabbed up a knife to protect myself.

Then he pointed the revolver at me and Alfred knocked It from his hand. He tried to get It and I knew that he would kill me if he got it, so I stabbed him." Mary, the oldest girl, told the police that she and her parents came to this country three years ago from Rome, where her father was a cobbler. They went to live first at 44 Downing street, Manhattan, but the father couldn't get employment as a cobbler, so he secured a position in a downtown restaurant. Because of their financial condition, Bhe said her mother took a boarder and this made her father jealous. "Father was very Jealous," the girl told the coroner, "and on Monday he came home wet and ugly.

He threatened to kill mamma and finally drove us out In the rain. We stayed out until about 9 o'clock and then went home, but we did not sleep because we thought he might kill us." The woman was locked up on a charge of homicide and Alfred had as a witness. The other children were taken In charge by the Children's Society. DOCK CONTRACT LET.
