1906. DILIGENT SEARCH AT SEA FOR A MAN WHO'S ASHORE Bergen Beach Yacht Club Members Scour the Coast for Captain Terry. LAST SAW HIM GO SAILING. They Are Still Hunting for Him, While He Is About Town Selling Sewing Machines. Captain G.

S. Terry, owner of the sloop yacht Asteria, presents his compliments to the members the Bergen Beach Yacht Club and asks that they cease searching for him in Davy Jones' locker and in the unknown harbors from Shrewsbury River, N. to Shinnecock Bay, L. I. Captain Terry insists that he isn't roaming through Mr.

Jones' submarine grounds, nor has taken refuge Captain Terry's address is 450 Franklin avenue. He does not live at this address. He is said to live on Brooklyn avenue. in any of the uncharted harbors between a Cape Henry and Point Judith since he set sail from the Bergen Beach Yacht Club house last Friday afternoon in his 30-foot sloop. In fact, all the while that members of the Bergen Beach Yacht Club have been sailing up and down the coast, tacking here and tacking there in the known inlets of the inner Jersey waters, a and ploughing the waters of creeks and bays that are not even on map of Long Island, in search of the missing member of the club, Captain Terry has been selling sewing machines in Brooklyn.

That is his regular job. Every lighthouse from Montauk Point to Cape Henry has been notified that Captain Terry, sailing the Asteria all alone, is missing, and even to-day William Stevens, a fellow member of the Bergen Beach Yacht Club, in the motor boat Cushman, is searching for the Asteria down around Shinnecock Bay, every other indentation of the southern coast of Long Island having already been searched in vain. The members of the yacht club have been sending out searching expeditions since last Sunday for the missing member. They hesitated for nearly a week tain missing, expecting every before public the fact that Capmaking, day to find at least trace of him in Jersey or Long Island waters. Privately, many of the members shook their heads when discussing the matter at the yacht club, and expressed the opinion that Captain Terry had surely foundered if he ventured outside Rockaway Inlet last Friday afternoon, when he set sail from the boathouse.

"Even when Captain Terry left the clubhouse a half gale was blowing," said R. O. Sidney, chairman of the house committee, this morning, "and if he got outside of Jamaica Bay he could never have managed his sloop alone in a sea. Why, the wind was blowing forty miles an hour, and it was a northeaster. "Knowing that Captain Terry is a very careful sailor, I hollered out to him and asked him where he was going.

'Oh, just for a little he replied. He tied down four reefs, stowed a jib and away he went. Nothing was thought of his not returning until Sunday, for we knew that he occasionally went to Gravesend and stayed over night with a friend. But a northeaster had been blowing steadily, and when we learned that he had not gone to Gravesend or any other Jamaica Bay point, we knew that he must have put out through Rockaway inlet. Well, if he did, my opinion is that he-well, his women folks who have been down to the club house inquiring for him have every cause to be anxious.

No 30-foot boat with only a 20-inch freeboard could be managed in a northeast gale in the open sea by one man, and Captain Terry was alone. "Since Sunday we have searched every nook and corner of the coast from Erie Basin to Long Beach and have even been down to the Shrewsbury River, but nowhere had anyone seen the litle Asteria, whieh is well known along the coast. Today we have a searching party down around Shinnecock Bay, thinking that maybe, by some miracle, Captain Terry might have got his boat into Jones' or Fire Island inlets." After leaving Mr. Sidney, the reporter called up the sewing machine office on Fulton street, with which Captain Terry is connected. The manager of the office said: "Is Captain Terry missing? Well, I saw him this morning, and I have seen him every morning, between 7 and 8 o'clock.

1 did hear that he went down to Rockaway last Friday afternoon in his boat, and left the boat there, coming back to the city on a train. I wonder why his fellow club members didn't inquire at this office if they wanted to find him?" The manager was told that, according to ofleers of the yacht club, representatives of the sewing machine company had been inquiring at the club house for Captain Terry as anxiously almost as his relatives. "Not from this office," was the reply. "Captain Terry has been here every morning." According to the members of the club, OBITUARY NOTES. Mrs.

A fight of long standing between the owner and the lessee of a Vanderveer Park building as to the owner's legal right to install a furnace in the cellar of the building resulted yesterday afternoon in the arrest of the owner's lawyer and a carpenter employed to repair the furnace. The lawyer, Wessels Ryerson, 46 years old, of 99 Nassau street, Manhattan, and the carpenter, James A.

Milehan, of 206 Washington avenue, were arraigned before Magistrate Steers in the Flatbush court this morning on a charge of trespassing, after breaking a padlock put 01 for the express purpose of keeping them from the cellar in question. In October, 1905, the three story building at the corner of Glenwood road and Nostrand avenue was owned by Richard Von Lehn, of 1,559 New York avenue. John Fitzmaurice made a contract with Von Lehn whereby, in the following February, he should enter upon a three lease of the ground floor and celyears' lar of the building. Some time between October and February Charles Cohen, of 96 Vesey street. Manhattan, purchased the building, with the lease impending.

According to the contract Fitzmaurice was to have the entire cellar for his own When he set up his ice cream bustuse. ness he found that Cohen had had stalled in the cellar a furnace which was to furnish heat to the flats above the store. Because of this furnace many people, such as coal men, plumbers and engineers, as well a8 the people in the above, had access to the cellar, and flats it not long, Fitzmaurice claims, bewas fore he began to miss eggs, butter, sugar, and other things necessary in the four carrying on of an ice cream and candy establishment. trouble culminated yesterday when, The according to the charge preferred in the court this morning.

According to members of the Association for the Protection of Commerce in New York Harbor, waters in and around New York harbor are filled with a lot of floating building material and logs, which are a serious menace to navigation, and during the past month about fifteen accidents have been reported to the Maritime Exchange, all of which are traced to the condition of the harbor.

Fred D. Dalzell, president of the association, said this morning that the association would bring the matter before Dock Commissioner Bensel within a week. All of the towboat interests in the harbor members of the association. The are Moran Towing Company has had three of its boats in drydock during this month, all of them having had accidents to propellers and rudders due to the floating logs and planking in the harbor. ASSERSON IS HONEST.

That Is All His Lawyer Has to Say. Coler Says He Was Not Hasty. Developments in the case of Henry R. Asserson, chief engineer of the Bureau of Sewers, were confined to-day to a statement issued by Borough President Coler and the flat refusal of Asserson's counsel, Charles H. Hyde, to tell how long the deposed I engineer has been a member of the Floral Park Fire Company.

Strenuous efforts were made by many persons to have that question authoritatively answered, but no definite response was made to the questions beside the refusals to divulge the information sought. In his statement Borough President Coler expresses his surprise at the rather "sudden" discovery that Asserson 1 is a fireman, and says that when his counsel sent in the answer of their client to the charges against him they said, in answer to questions, "that there would be nothing further than that, unless it would be to furnish more definite information on any particular point made in the answer if "Any suggestion that I have been hasty in giving consideration to Mr. Assersou's case is absolutely false," said Mr. "On the contrary, was extremely reluctant to proceed to condemn the man on charges of such serious character, and for that reason I delayed taking action longer than I should have. The charges were not made public when filed, because wanted to give Mr.

Asserson every chance in the world to clear himself. If he had been able to do so, no one would have been gladder than I. His hearing was adjourned four times, each time at the request of his counsel. His written answer was filed last Monday, and when I asked his counsel if there was anything further I was told there was nothing further unless, after reading the answer, might want additional information, which they would be glad to furnish. Up to that time there had been no suggestion whatever that Mr.

Asserson was a fireman. Meanwhile, however, nearly every politician and every contractor who has a speaking acquaintance with me has buttonholed me in behalf of Mr. Asserson." Not much surprise was expressed among those interested in the case over the last sentence of the statement, because Asserson has a host of friends who are more than anxious that he be retained at the post of chief engineer of the Bureau of Sewers. Asserson's counsel, Charles H. Hyde, was asked this morning how long his client has been a member of the fire department, and he replied: "I won't discuss that part of the question at all.

Asserson is an honest man. That is all I have to say. Goodby." ARRESTS IN SHOOTING CASE. Two Brothers Suspected Being Implicated in Shooting of Roundsman McGarry. Michael J.

Cisco, twenty-five years old, and his brother, Lonis, 23 years old, of 525 Carroll street, were arrested at 10 o'clock this morning at their home, by Detective William H. Gunn and Patrolman Henry Carney, suspected of being implicated in the shooting of Roundsman James McCarry, of the Atlantic avenue station. McGarry, it will be remembered, in company with Officer Carney, surprised two burglars who jumped into a covered wagon and whipped up the horse. Roundsman McGarry was climbing into the rear of the wagon when he received two bullets from one of the burglar's revolvers, one in the arm and one in the jaw, He is now in the hospital. The police have since been looking for McGarry's assailant.

From information received from an ex the Cisco brothers were arrested.

FLATBUSH AV. AND FULTON ST. SEAMANS WIN FIGHT FOR 116 MONTAGUE ST. Justice Keogh Decides to Vacate the Injunction Dr. Stephenson Got.

TRIUMPHANT ENTRY EXPECTED Mr. Seaman, Mrs. Seaman, Three Little Seamans and Lodger Montgomery to Go Back. Elmer Ellsworth Seaman has won another victory over Dr. Benjamin S.

Stephenson in the fight that has been in progress for several weeks past as to the right to occupy the boarding house at 116 Montague street. Supreme Court Justice Keogh in Special Term to-day vacated the temporary injunction issued several days by Justice Maddox in favor of Dr. Stephenson. The different phases of the dispute between Seaman and Dr. Stephenson have been printed from time to time in the Eagle.

Mrs. Seaman, in June last, is alleged to have leased her house to Dr. Stephenson in' consideration of $1,200 while she went to Sullivan County for the summer to operate a hotel that she owns there. Dr. Stephenson paid $100 on account and then, during summer, having paid the rent for house to the the lessors, the People's Trust Company, collected the rents from the lodgers in the house.

In September the Seamans returned from the country but were unable to enter the house. Mrs. Seamans wanted the return of the property, to which Dr. Stephenson agreed provided Mrs. Seamans return to him the $100 he had paid on account.

In return for this demand, Mrs. Seaman demanded an accounting of the rents that had been paid to Dr. Stephenson during the summer by the lodgers. Much hostility ensued, which for the residence the name of of obtained. trouble." The principals in the controversy have since been appearing in the -both civil and criminal-and the aid of the police has been repeatedly invoked.

Fisticuffs over the exile placed upon the Seamans by the doctor resulted in warrants for assault and there is a case still pending in the Adams street court which is to be heard to-morrow. In the meantime, Dr. Stephenson, through his attorney, Herbert B. Ketcham, applied to the Supreme Court and secured a temporary injunction preventing the from entering the house. The Seamans, the Seamans was aroused over this action and they secured Lawyer Smith, who is a brether of Mrs.

Seaman, to fight their legal battles. While the battles have been in progress the Seamans have been living elsewhere and have been longing for an opportunity 98 get into the house and secure the change of clothing necessary. They say that all that they possess outside of what they have on is contained in the Montague street house, which Dr. Stephenson barricaded against them. They have paid the rent for October for the house, and in the argument for the continuance of the injunction made before Justice Keogh last Monday, Mr.

Smith said that his clients should be permitted to enter their home if for this reason alone. Mr. Ketcham, through illness, was unable to appear in court to-day, but Justice Keogh, who last Monday had granted to Mrs. Seaman the privilege to enter the house and secure her clothing, decided to vacate the injunction. Lawyer Smith, who was on hand ready for a big fight-legally-was astonished when Justice Keogh announced his decision without argument.

He smiled and at once rushed from the court room. Outside he would have nothing to say to the reporters, but Mr. Seaman intimated that the first move he would make after ousting Dr. Stephenson from the house to-day would be to go after Mr. Montgomery, who appeared in the Adams street police court yesterday to get a warrant for the doctor for barring him out of the house, and bring him triumphantly back.

Visions of the triumph entry that he and his wife and their three children would make into the house to-day were fleeting through Mr. man's mind, but he said that he would be advised by Lawyer Smith. The vacating order has not yet. been signed, but Mr. Smith rushed to his office for the purpose of drawing it up and presenting it to Justice Keogh for his signature.

He said that he did not want to say anything for publication as it might be a forewarning to Dr. Stephenson, who might take some steps to further prevent their now lawful entry. All the friends of the Seamans are ing to journey to the house this afternoon to witness the return of the victors. MIXED-UP INSURANCE FIGHT. Lawyers Just Reveling in the Complications Going On.

CALLED TO REJUVENATE MINISTRY OF CHURCH Rev. Dr. Carson Has Proposition Under Consideration. THE WORK IS IMPORTANT. He Has Declined Many Invitations to Leave Central Church, but May Accept Now, The Rev.

Dr. John F. Carson, pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church, Marcy and Jefferson avenues, has received an invitation to accept the secretaryship of an influential board the Presbyterian Church. He declined this morning to give the name of the board, for the reason that it might prejudice the case. He was at a loss to know how the matter had gained currency, as he had not spoken publicly of it to any one, for the reason that it was only an invitation and was a private concern of himself and the board.

Dr. Carson reluctant to speak on the subject when seen this morning, and only say that the invitation came Prould one of the boards of the church and the work to be done was among young men preparing for the ministry. The position would involve visiting the colleges of the country and presenting the claims of the ministry to Christian young men. From what could be learned, it is a most call. Dr.

Carson said this important morning that he had the invitation under consideration, but had not arrived at any decision. The board which has extended the invitation is composed of thirty-seven members, but only the sub-committee of three members of the board has waited supon Dr. Carson at any time, and the allusion to a "mysterious committee of as published in a Manhatthirty morning paper, annoyed Dr. Carson somewhat, as he had had no interview with any man on the subject. Three the board have been newspaper, held, and at each of the three meetings board decided that Dr.

Carson was the man for the place, as was learned this morning, and the visit of the subcommittee was the result Dr. Carson seems to be in almost constant demand by churches and seminaries throughout the country. He has recently which he did not to reach the imdisposed of at least, four invitations, portance of calls, for it is the custom in the Presbyterian Church at least, that when a minister is called to a church it is known before the negotiations are completed that he will accept. The invitation which he now has under consideration is quite another matter, as time is always given for consideration after the invitation is extended. The influential pastor of the Central Church was within a few weeks asked to take the chair of homilectics and pastoral theology in one of the most important Presbyterian seminaries in the country, but this he declined to consider.

Two invitations to consider calls to prominent churches have been disposed of, and the same has been done with a proposition from an influential church in Portland, Ore. All these he declined to allow to assume the proportions of a call. GRAND JURY AT WORK. Case of Suspected Magistrate Still Being Investigated.
