The will also provided that $2,000 should lie given to the Home for the Aged of the Utile Sisters of the Poor at Eighth avenue and Sixteenth street: $1,000 to tbe Unman Catholic Church of St. Saviour at the same addresB, find $1,000 to St. Brendan's K. C.

Church at Avenue and East Tenth street. Klatbush. George Silkworth of 461 Eighth street was given $200 to distribute among bo -poor, aa he saw fit. There were also a large number of specific bequests to relatives and friends, all of which were paid out of the estate. The residue was to be divided in a certain proportions among tho relatives of Mrs.

DeBrauwere and her husband. It Is these residuary bequests that have uot been paid in full. Two sisters of Mrs. DeBrauwere, living In Albany, were to get each. They are Mrs.

Elizabeth Snyder and Catherine Lintner. A sou of Mis. Lint-ner, John Lintner, lives at 153 Washington avenue. Brooklyn. Three nephews Mr.

DeBrauwere, who live In Cincinnati, Ohio, were to receive $747. L'S. They are Edward, Albert and Maurice Leinninrs. Two relatives of her husband, who were made residuary legatees, live in Philadelphia. They are Mrs.

of which slie has been paid all but $3,045. Mrs. Idalie Godderis, who has a claim for $2,241.38 lives at Chicago. and Mrs. Julit Strybos, a sister of the restaurant keeper, lives in the Bronx.

She has a claim for $2,241.38. One share In the estate, worth $1,741.38, was payable to Louis De Brauwere, a nephew or the husband, but a judgment nga'inst him for $4,171.53 has been obtained by his wife. Alice I)e Brauwere, that the money is payable to Patrick H. Quinn, former Sheriff of Kings County. The judgment against Louis De Brauwere is famous in legal circles, because it was the first ever obtained by a wife against her husband for money she had spent to support herself.

Edward DeBrauwere, the hubaiid tcstatrU, was one of the former employes at the old Delruonico restaurant, and later started in business for himself at 12 Broadway. He was believed to have made a large fortune. Hn married late In life, and when he died, about seven years ago, he left all his property to liis widow. She, in turn, distributed the lcsidue of her estate about equally between her relatives and those of hr husband. The relatives always had believed that the property would eniount to much more than it did.

but it Is said that DeBrauwere lost some of his fortune before he died, although nothing certain known about that. Alonzo G. McLaughlin, who acted a1) attorney for Coates In I he accounting proceedings, said today that he had uot seen Coates since last summer. "He mny have a very, good reason for bciug away, however." added McLaughlin "and you must remember that the order for his arrest was an ex-parte affair, signed without his side being heard. The relatives may be unduly excited about his absence, as I know of lots of law suits pending for a much longer time than this haa been." The house at 496 Mansfield place was today closed, and the neighbors sail that the occupantB had left only yesterday for Florida.

It is a detached building of good outward appearance. Coates himself, the neighbors said, has not been seen about the premises for the past six months. TERMINAL TO OPEN Greatest Railroad Station in the World. Rebuilt for the third time In forty years, the Grand Central terminal station of the New York Central lines, in Manhattan, will be thrown open to the traveling public at. midnight tonlghl, and the numerous woes that conmmlers have had to suffer in the last half dozen years will lie only mt-iiiories.

With tiie completion of this sntion, Mew York will have the largest railway terminal in tin world. One hundred million people, it Is estimated, will be able to use the station In Forty-second street in the course of a year. The terminal occupies seventy-six nr res. extending from Ferty-wpcond to Fiftieth streets, between Lexington and avenues. The two-track-level S5'3tem cine level express trams, the other for suburban service the most important feature, and 200 trains, or more than three a minutes, and 70.000 passengers lie tok'-n care of in an hour.

The station miildingu is liM) feet long. feet wide and 115 feet in height tiie street. Below the surface the Ktation measures 7-fo feet in length, 4S0 in width and goes down into the earth to the ilcpih of 45 feet. The 'main concourse is 120 feet wide und 200 feet in width. To obtain the land for the present site JM buildings of ail kinds had to be razed dwellings, hospitals, churches and the old station.

Some idea of the cost of this great improvement may be formed from the fact that the real estate values Involved In tho land used has reached the enormous total of and expcrlf estimate that the total cost of the ter-tnintil, when entirely completed, will jot far from $10,000,000.

VICTIM OF FORTUNE TELLERS. Quartermaster Burchell Jumps In to Rescue, and Other lien Drag Them Up From the Icy Water. Several hundred persons were thrown Into a panic today at the White Star Line pier, foot of Seventeenth street and the North River. Manhattan, when a handsome, well-dreaaed woman screamed and plunged off the pier Into tbe water. Quartermater John Burchell, who was about to board tbe Cymric, plunged off the pier after the woman.

He was clothed in a heavy sweater, top boots and heavy sailor's suit. He caught hold of the woman snd held her head above water. As he struggled in the Icy water, William Walters, a pier hand, called to Mark Doyle, Tom Brunswick snd Xlck Lynch, p)er bands. With a rope tier around his waiat, Walters was let down tbe side of the pier by his feet, his fellow work-era forming a human chain, while the voyagers and friends on tbe pier stood and watched breathlessly. Brunswick and the woman were slowly hauled back to the pier, anl then the pier hands pulled Walters back to safety.

Cheer after cheer was given for the brave young quartermaster and the pier bands who made possible the rescue. The woman was Mrs. Agnes Walsh, 35 years old, wife of a wealthy butcher of Philadelphia, who was booked to. leave on the Cymric for Belfast, Ireland. Her husband aud three children were on the pier to see her off.

She had been noticed acting rather strangely, but It was one until she was rescued from the water and attended by physicians that her remarkable story, told by the husband, came out. According to his story, fortune tellers are responsible for her mental condition. He declared that a fortune teller told hie wife that there was to be a great fire In Ireland. Mrs. Walsh suffered the hallucination that the two factions, one for Home Rule and one opposed, were going to burn up Ireland, snd she Insisted upon going back to protect them.

Her husband, thinking this might restore her mental balance, agreed, and the woman was to leave on the Cymric today. After being treated, however, by Dr. Fleming, of the ship, she waa removed to Bellevue Hospital for treatment for her mental condition. THE SYMPHONY CONCERT. Ysaye, Violinist, and Orchestra in a Strong- Programme.

At the Symphony Society concert yesterday at Aeolian Hall the conductor, Walter Damrosch, made his programme very strong, iu order to cause It to speak eloquently outside of the powerful Ysaye violin element In It, and he succeeded perfectly. Ysaye played the big part In the Viottl "Concerto," with orchestra, in the opening number. Few violinists have his tone, bis glancing brilliancy or bis inner radiance in the matter of quality. He was yesterday all things that go to make a master in Interpretation. Violin virtuosi, watching to pounce on some weak point, declared that he had made some "slips." The Concerto has a sweet and serious melody in the first movement, "Allegro," and In the second, it has a long part for violin alone, with swift messages and deliberate ones, and there ft of singula beauty and repose, In low-breathed tone.

The last movement had a remarkable display of swift play ing. Ysaye was recalled again and again. The orchestra gave the "Symphony Fan-tastique," by Bcriioz. "Reveries and Passions" formed the first division, the "Reveries" were delightful, the first having a soprano voice effect of much sweetness. Variety was effected by an odd orchestration, in different moods; there were tiny quips from the strings, hardly heard against wood-wind melo- dies, constant surprises in orchestration i and iu change of theme, besides odd com- blnatior.s of instruments, all of which made the "Reveries" unmatched for odd (harm and Interest.

The "Passions" por-1 tlon was broad and big; at times there was a mad, hopeless death-message, an expression of fury, or else, loss and despair. The master mind of Berlioz was never better revealed. The "Ball Scene" was gay and individual and the "Scenes In the Fields" made a strong contrast. The orchestra played marvelously in this and In the dreadful realism of the "March to the Scaffold," where demoniacal music brings up the scene vividly. "The Dream In the Witches Sabbath with its church bells, now soft, now loud, swelling and sinking, the weird clamor and hellish revelry, made pulses beat fast.

Ysaye played Mendelssohn's "Concerto In Minor later. The Allegro Molto A ppnssionato was superbly delivered. The lovely Andante and the strong Finale movements were Interpreted with sympathy. REWARDS FOR THE FAITHFUL. Two Twenty-third A.

D. Democrats Get $1,200 Places.

GET THE SUNDAY EAGLE! Dr. J. Edwards Midgley of Dean Street Latest Victim of Slick Crook. GOT PURSE AND OTHER LOOT. Believed to Be Same Han Who Bobbed Homes of Mr.

Cai lin and Kiss Kirkmau. Another burglary, believed to bare been committed by tbe same amootb young niau who, posing aa a painter, got awuy with ISmo worth of Jewelry from the home of Mis. Sarah Klrkman, on Cllntou avenue, became known today. This time the young man, posing ai a carpenter who waa sent to fix a window-sash In the home of Dr. J.

Edward Midgley at 1125 Dean street, opposite the Inlon League Club, act awav with a purse containing J12 and a bundle of loot, tbe value of which Dr. Midgley has been unable to learn as yet. At 2 o'clock Tuesdsy afteroooa thai front door bell rang, and when the maid opened the door she found an athletic, young man who said he had been sent by a carpenter to put a new window i ope. Dr. Midgley waa huBy in hla office when he wa informed of the arrival of the carpenter, and told the maid that he didn't have time to bother then, so the man would have to come back another time.

The carpenter was Insistent, and said that It would be Inconvenient for him to come back again, as be bad jobs that would take up all of bis time for several days. Finally, Dr. Midgley told the maid to take the carpenter up to the third floor aud show him what was to be done. So that a stranger would Lot be left alone on the third floor with free access, Mrs. Holsten, tbe doctor's mother-in-law, sat in the room while he worked.

This apparently anuoyed tbe carpenter, for as they see things now, he used several pretexts to get her out of tbe room. When tbe niau had finished taking apart the sash and had removed tbe broken rope, he said he would have to go to the kitchen to get a hatchet to cut the new rope he was to put in. When ho got to the second floor he ran Into the doctor, who asked him where he waa going. "I have to go to the kitchen to cut this rope. I didn't bring a knife." "You need not bother," said the doctor, "I have a large pair of sheers in my desk.

Wait just, a moment. I'll save you the trouble of going all the way down stairs." With this Dr. Midgley got Ibe sheers aud cut the piece, and went back to his desk, where he had been busily engaged writing letters. The man was gone from the third floor where ho was under the eye of Mrs. Holsten between live and ten minutes.

This apparently was the opportunity tho man wanted, for. when he had linlshed the work. Dr. Midgley happened upstairs in time to see him wrapping up bundle. At first he was suspicious, but.

when his eyes rested on a putty knife sticking out of the bundle, his suspicions were allayed, lie let tbe man depart without saying anything to him. Wednesday morning the doctor's sister, Miss Emma Midgley, came rushing into the doctor's office, crying that her purse missing. Investigation proved that i. it was indeed, gone. Then tne House bold realized that, they had been duped by the carpenter The real carpenter was called by 'phone and said that he had not sent man to the house.

The police of the Bergen street station were notified, and Detective Harry States was sent around to Investigate the robbery. According to Dr. Midgley, lie asked the detective to notify the newspapers of the affair, as he thousht It was his duty to warn the public that such a man was about. He said that, If tho detective did not. care ti do so, he would do it Instead.

Dr. Midgley wailed In vain for the fact of the robbery to become known. The police, thinks the doctor, are trying to cover up the robberies that have occurred in the Bedford section of late. It is a fact that nothing will be given out concerning burglaries at the police stations. They are making every effort to keep robberies secret.

Dr. Midgley was able to give a good description of the man. He said that tho man was apparently a Norwegian, about 45 years old, was about feet, 10 inches tall, of athletio build, quick in his movements, a smooth talker, wore a gray suit and overcoat and had liqht hair and blue or gray eyes. The doctor is unable to conjecture how the man learned that, a corpenter was needed, unless it is explained by the fact that, when tho window rope was broken tbe loose ends were visible from the street.
