April IS A sanguinary fight has occurred at the village of Opela, between revolutionists from Palau-ka and Turkish troops. After the encounter had lasted some time and the revolutionists were getting the worst of it, a dozen of taem being killed or wounded, they resorted to the use of dynamite and hurled bombs among the "Turks, seventy of whom were killed tr wounded by the explosions.

In the panic which followed the revolutionists broke through the Turkish- cordon and escaped.

AT BTH X. Y. H'orJUAup, III Ave. at iTf CAPTAIN EVANS THANKFUL New Police Commander Grateful Help From Citizens Captain Cullen Silent. for The newly made captain, David Evans, seemed very much at home yesterday In the Fourth avenue police station, -where he succeeds Captain Cullen, as he gazed on a large bouquet of lilies sent to him by an admiring friend.

He arrived at the station house at 7 o'clock Friday night and at once assumed command, although Captain Cullen was unable to move his effects out until yesterday morning. "I have made no new plans as to how I shall proceed as yet," said Captain Evans, "but of course the law will be enforced In oil respects. I feel very grateful for the interest the residents of Fort Hamilton showed In my behalf, and I wish the Eagle would 80 announce to them. I owe considerable to the Citizens' Association of Ray Captain David Evans. Ridge and Fort Hamilton for the kindly aid the members gave me In gaining promotion.

While I realize that a man Is not likely lo be advanced unless he Is at or near the top of the list, It Is just as apparent that a good word spoken by such prominent citizens as Frederick C. Coeheu, president of the Ridgo Club, and David Porter, president of the Citizens' Association, Is of much benefit. Captain Evans has been twenty-one years on the force, and during that time he Bays has been in but four station houses, each move being a promotion. In the three previous stations he served seven years each. He was appointed February 13, 1882, and assigned to duty in the Fulton street station.

Then he was sent to the Bergen street, where ho served as a roundsman, and later to Fort Hamilton, where as a sergeant he remained until promoted yesterday. He is married, has a family and lives In Bay Ridge Park, at Seventy-fifth street and Tenth avenue. Beside receiving floral tokens, Captain Evans got many congratulatory messages by telegraph and telephone. The news that Captain Cullen had been transferred to Bath Beach station came to the Fourth avenue station house last night like lightning out of a clear sky. The captain was on patrol at the time and neither he nor his men had any intimation that there was to be a change.

The news was not received with great joy, for the men who have served under Captain Cullen have no complaint to make of the treatment accorded them and hearts were heavy when he shook hands all around this morning, previous to his departure for Bath Beach. Like a good soldier, he had no comment to make. It is revealing no secret to say that other transfers in the station are looked for, as It is usual for a commander to have something to say about tho men who are to serve under him, and then, too, Captain Cullen may want some men who have been with him In Fourth avenue down by the sea shore. GAUS HAS A RECORD. Retired Police Captain, Beside Being a Blucoat, Fought Against Indians.

During the past ten days some four police captains have handed In their resignations. Captain Edward Gaus. who has been on tile Brooklyn force since 1872 and has an enviable record, and lately in command of the De-Kalb and Hamburg avenue police station, has handed in his resignation, and the members of the police force of the Sixty-fourth precinct have appointed a committee of brother officers to tender a testimonial to Captain Gaus expressing their regret at his retirement from command of the Slxty-fourlh precinct. Captain Gaus has seen active service on the Western frontier In many campaigns against Ihe Navajo and Sioux Indians. Ho came East In 1870 and was enrolled on the Brooklyn police force In 1872, during the administration of Mayor Kalb-fleisch.

At that timo tho captain was the first mounted policeman doing duty when the system of mounted police was inaugurated in the Police Department. He has been complimented several times in connection with personal bravery shown In the capture of desperate criminals. In 1876 he succeeded in. rounding up tho notorious "Shorty Lent gang," sending the members to Sing Sing prison for various terms of imprisonment. The leader of this gang, known as Shaw Rogers, a desperate criminal char Annual Meeting and Election of Officers at Fraternity Hall.

S. MARKSMEN. London, April 18 Colonel Crosse, the secretary of the National Rille Association, In an Interview regarding the attempt of the American marksmen to recapture the Palma trophy, thinks that the fact that the United States will send two teams Increases the British chances of retaining the shield, since the American cracks will be divided between tho two teams Instead of beine concentrated In one. Colonel Crosse added that If the Americans win It will be through their rllles. Australia, Rhodesia, Natal.

Canada and New Zealand have all promised to send teams. TEAS. The War Tax having been taken off, we are enabled to give you a better quality for the same money. Our Green, Black or Mixed Tea, at 60c. Per pound, is considerably better than most leas at that price.

To the few who still affirm that photography Is not entitled to be classed among Hi" aris, who claim that It Is a matter of process, of method, of more technical experience, no better couns -I could given then a stiggeslion to pay a visit to the thirteenth annual exhibition of the department of photography of the Brooklyn Institute, that is now open at I'M Montague street. Last bight's private view and reception attracted a large and representative gathering lo the an rooms and ihe exhibition has had a very aiisjdi-ious opening. The rooms were tastefully decorated with palms find tlowers and an orehoHiia rem'ereil a pleasing programme during the evening. There was dancing alter 10 o'clock, many of those present remaining until a late hour. This year's exhliitlon leads all previous ones, boih in Ihe number and quality of the exhibits shown.

There are J.N7 photographs this year, against 157 in and the artistic merit is bid loved lo be 50 per cent ahead of what 11 has been In the years past. The judges, Charles I. Berg, Benjamin Lander and W. D. Murphy, on the piints and Frank La Mana and S.

W. Lewis, on lantern slides, have had a lorig and difficult lask to perforin, and though there will of course differences of opinion lu regard to individual awards, 11 will he generally acknowledged that their work has been wcdl done. They perforin their work carefully and conscientiously and spend a goodly portion of Saturday in a detailed consideration of some of the pictures In which merit seemed to he about equally divided. A special feature of this year exhibition Ik the lurge number of photographs mado with the gum hlchro.nate process, mis Is ot particular interest, in view of t'ne fact that a large majority of the prize winners are hnished with this comparatively new process. In the world of photography the believers In this process hold aboiu the same place, and are developed from about the same source, as the better clnsa of impressionists in the modern school of painters.

The finished products of both 'have much lu common, particularly in their mutual preference for the hazy, Indefinite outline. Going over the exhibits In Ihe order In which ihey are mentioned in the tasty catalogue. S. E. Bieraeh is first and, although not a prize winner, his "I'alm Hearer," an expressive picture, will find many admirers.

William A. linger, one of the old prize winners, has a great many pictures, and, though lie got hut one prize, shows good work, ills landscape, with eallle, secured the second prize in Its class. Ho shows some pretty chrysanthemums, and his "Moonlight Off Lnrrhmont" is also good. His "Only a Shower" would assuredly have hi en a prize winner If the figure In Ihe foreground were not out of proportion. Three platinum prints by II.

Ilendrielison, not in the competition, are very finely colored. Alice has two prizes second for a figure study. "Spring Idyl," and a well-deserved first prize for a portrait, "Mother and Son." Henry A. Carly lias a second and third landscape prize. W.

t'olsen, who haH also carried off many awards In previous competitions, secured first prize for the best individual collection. Do has eighteen pictures, six of them having secured a ribbon. Ho has a third prize for a portrait; second prize for a remarkably good still life a dead bird: the first landscape prize for his "On the a third landscape prize, a second marine prize and the first genre prize. He has some wonderful pictures, his "The Last Row" and "Landing the Lifeboat" being marvels of tho photographic art. W.

II. Coughlin has some good colored prints that are not in the competition. Harry Contain has some very flue pictures and secured two prizes. A rather peculiar, although highly artistic, print, of his secured first prize for marines. It Is around this that the dispute as lo the good Judgment, of the jury will wax hot.

anil heavy. The majority of amateurs would have awarded the prize lo one of the others, perhaps to one of those by F. A. Walters, but after all, It is a matter of taste. Mr.

Contant also secured honorable mention for one of his genres. P. G. Karquharsnn this year repealed his former successes and carried off a first, and second prize. The bromide print entitled "Bob," the head or a collie, which secured the first prize for animal studies, Is well entitled to it.

It, will he some time before nnything better in this line can be seen. He also secured a well merited second portrait prize. Joseph L. Hits has two charming pictures of a baby In a chair, entitled "A Pointer," and "An Orator." They did not. win prizes, but will he appreciated by the visitors.

Samuel Huldon secures an honorable mention. James W. Kent gels the third prize for the best Individual collection. He used the gumbl-ehromate process almost exclusively ami secured two third prizes. In some of his pictures, the outlines are barely distinguishable and here again there will ariso a question of merit.

W. E. Mac.N'aughtan has iwo third prizes, as has It. II. Montgomery.

Henry Iloyt Moore's "Sunlit Woods at Kaglesmere" Is a very pleasing picture. although not prize winner. The pictures exhibited by Charles F. I'aine, an ex-member, now of Boston, were not in compel itlnn. but It Is safe to assume that at least three of.

them would have secured prizes had they I eligible. His "Bit of Old Lucerne." "Entrance Gate Villa Borg-hise, Rome" and "Waiting at the Gate" are all of the truly artistic. His pictures add much to the value of the exhibition. H. Powers gets a third prize for an excellent genre picture, "Hilly Hill's Shop." Henry S.

Retinoid received the second Individual which he has well merited. Ills "American Beauties." with wiiich he secured the first prize for llower studies, is a very fine piece of work. The Mowers appear as though they were enameled. His small picture of an old man reading a newspaper, which secured the third portrait prize. Is also excellent.

The photograph entitled "Old Times, Old Manners, Old Hooks," that won the St it prize in tho still life class, is worthy of the brush of one of the old Dutch masters. From an artistic standpoint it is one of the best pictures in the exhibition. He also got the first prize in the class lor architecture, in which but few pictures were enlereit. Archibald C. Scrimgeour secured two second prizes, one with the picture of a caged lion, the other in Ihe genre class, "The Little Nurse." Both are excellent and are of the kind that appeal to every one.

H. L. Cndorhlll has two third prizes. F. A.

Walter exhibits some very fine marines. Mis pictures are the largest in the exhibition and there can be no denial as lo their quality. His picture of the Shamrock, wiib her bellowed sail, and Iwo Newport sunsets, are very fine. Some of Mr. Walter's work has been reproduced on the sporting page of the Eagle.

Mario Zimmermann has several pleasing pictures and secured a second and a third prize on landscapes. In the lantern sli.le competition first and third prizes wero awarded to W. A. and second lo C. M.

Shtpmnn. Many of t'lese are won.ierful as to their clearness and multitude of detail. The members of the exhibition cemmitice nre William Colson. Arthur H. Flint, Henry L.

April Wedding Presents In Great Variety. i Bronze, China, Glass 't and Sterling Silver. THE BEST ONLY. 'OPENING THE STOCK EXCHANGE. iimple and Dignified Ceremonies at New Wall Street Home of the Brokers Next Wednesday.

Members of the New York Stock Exchange were yesterday about the ceremonies to take place at the opening of the new building next Wednesday. The build ing and arrangement committees have been at work perfecting these arrangements for long time, and the details have been close- guarded. Tne opening ceremonies will be simple and gnifled. The main room, the "floor," will elaborately decorated for the occasion and there will be band of music. At 11 o'clock the members of the Exchange will march into the building' in a body.

The ceremonies will last about an hour, the Rev. Morgan Dix of Trinity Church, opening with a prayer, President Keppler of the Stock Exchange, following with an address, and Mayor Low addressing the members and guests on behalf of the city. Short speeches by other officers of the Exchange will follow. A great platform, with seats, has been erected on the Wall street side of the floor for the use of the guests. Hie officers of all the principal stock and other exchanges throughout the country, to the number of over 300 have been invited.

In addition the officers of all the banks and trust companies of this and nearby cities are among the special guests. The municipal officials of the City of New York are ihe only public officials who will participate as guests of the Exchange, it is understood. Neither the Governor of the state nor the Secretary of the United States Treasury has been asked to take part. Assistant Treasurer Fish of the Sub-Treasury, by virtue of his close connection with the financial institutions of the city, will be present. (, The necessity for limiting the number of official Invititions caused the drawing of an arbitrary line, so as to Include the officials of New York City, the officials of kindred exchanges and officials of banking institutions.

The members of the Exchange and guests they will bring will occupy Ihe floor and galleries. It has not yet been decided whether any seats will oc provided for these. Some may be placed In the galleries, but it Is expected that the floor will be free on account of the crowd to be accommodated. The speaking will be from a stand at the front of the platform provided for the official guests of the Exchange. The formal programme will be concluded by 12 o'clock.

After the conclusion of the ceremonies the entire building will be thrown open, first for the Inspection of the official guests, and later for the Inspection of the guests of the individual members, each of whom has been given five tickets for the admission of friends. The entire building will be lighted, the band will be kept in attendance till half past 4 o'clock in the afternoon, till which time the building will be open for Inspection. There will be no collation, on account of the numbers to be provided for. CLARK RETURNS TO AFFRAY. Assemblyman Accused Speaker Nixon of Misstating Vote on Lobby Charge Made Yesterday.

Albany, April 18 Immediately after the Assembly convened this morning Assemblyman George B. Clark of the Twenty-ninth New York District rose to a question of personal privilege. He stated that the speaker at yesterday's session had declared wrongfully that 149 members had voted against a motion he made prohibiting members asking other members to vote for their bills during a call for absentees. There were not 149 members in the Chamber at the time, Mr. Clark asserted.

Speaker Nixon asked the journal clerk to read the record. This the clerk did, the journal simply stating that Mr. Clark's motion was lost. Mr. Clark held up the stenographic report of yesterday's proceedings and declared that this report showed that Speaker Nixon had declared the motion lost by a vote of 149 to 1.

Speaker Nixon then said: "I have been a member of this body thirteen years and I want to say that never at any time has it been considered wrong for one member to ask another for his vote on any bill. Mr. Burnett suggested that It would be a graceful act for Mr. Clark to move the approval of the Journal and Mr. Clark did so.

These bills were passed: Mr. Finch, authorizing the rehearing of the charges against former Fireman James F. Kenehen of New York City. Mr. Abrams, regulating the business hours of the Commissioner of Jurors office in Kings County.

Senator Bracket authorizing the New York and London Trust Company to purchase stocks, bonds and other securities. Senator Marshall, specifying the times for the meetings of local Boards of Improve ment In New York City. Senator Fitzgerald, making October 12, or Columbus Day, a legal holiday. Two bills practically identical. Introduced by Assemblymen wood and Burns, lncreas Ing the municipal court districts in New York City from eleven to thirteen, were passed.

The souvenir was made up of four cards and was bound together with bows of red white and blue ribbon. Tied across the front, of the card wis a miniature sword, fourteen inches in length, which was a perfect reproduction of the regulation army sword.

The swords were made in Paris and were imported for tho occasion. The sheath and blade were marie of a line quality of jslcel. The hilt was made of burnished gold and the handle of ivory and bone.

Vineyards and tho fruit and other crops, especially In the vicinity of Bordeaux and Bourges, have been severely damaged by the cold wave that has swept all over Europe. Blizzards and severe cold are reported as far south as the lower province of Austria.

This is unprecedented at this time of the year. Telegraphic reports show that Germany, Holland, Great Britain and France have suffered severely from the low temperature. In northern Germany, much of the country is under snow and the same conditions obtain in France. A blizzard that raged in Vienna to-day was so severe that suburban street car lines had to suspend operations and the telephone and telegraph service was interrupted, An immense amount of damage has been done In the fruit growing districts of Austria. The horse races scheduled in Vienna to-day wero postponed in consequence of the storms.

The storm at Marseilles has not been equaled for fifteen years. Forty craft are reported to have foundered. No vessels could put to sea yesterday, traffic on the dock side being impossible. The steamer General Chanzy, bringing M. Bourgeois, the pres ident of the Chamber of Deputies, from Al giers, had to put in at Fort Million, bhe later proceeded, but was again forced to take refuge in a small port some distance from here.

The pilots say it was the worst storm they had ever seen. Italy, too, has suffered from the storm. A dispatch from Civita Vecehia announces that the Italian ship Francesco C. (of 609 tons, belonging to Spezia) struck the rocks off Civita Vecehia yesterday during a violent storm and disappeared. The crew was saved.

It is feared that other shipping disasters have occurred. 50,000 AT FOOT BALL GAME. Enormous Crowds at Crystal Palace Witness Contest for a Cup.
