William Lane Bays the SL Augustine Property. EDIFICE BEING DEMOLISHED, NEW OWNER TO ERECT STORES AND FLATS ON THE SIT El OCCUPIED BY THE HISTORIC CHURCH THE BROOKLYN ELEVATED RAILROAD COMPANY OWNED THE PROPERTY THE COST. The old. St. Augustine's Church property, on Fifth avenue, between Bergen and St.

Marks, has been sold, by the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad Company to William Lane, manufacturer of shoes, at Fifth avenue and Stirling place, for $80,000, and the church edifice is being demolished as rapidly as the workmen can remove it. The plot, fronting 200 feet on Fifth avenue, has a. depth on Bergen street of 133 feet, and of 110 on St. Marks avenue, and upon It the new owner will erect a block of brick and brownstone four-story stores and flats. John T.

Aselp is the contractor for the buildings, and will have them finished and ready for occupancy within six months. The plot has been owned for several years by the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad Company, whose purchase was an alternative to the payment of damages claimed by St. Augustine's parish for the construction of their road. It is stated that the property cost the railroad company 170,000, and Its present transfer price, while In the present state of the market fair, Is believed to afford certainty of very considerable ultimate profit to the buyer. The transaction was made through Corrlgan Scott, 212 Fifth avenue.

The St. Augustine's which In a few days disappear was built by the Carlin Arm in 1870, being planned. In the first instance, to permit alteration to a school-house when the congregation should require a larger church. The construction of the elevated railroad, however, changed the plans, and the present St. Augustine's, on Sixth avenue, begun in 1887.

was the result. St. Augustine's, a subdivision of St. Stephen's, was organized in 1870 under the Rev. Louis J.

Rhatlgan, who died In 1876, and was a month later succeeded by Father Edward W. McCarty, assistant pastor of St. Peter's, who has since continuously as rector, and to whose efforts the continuous prosperity and growth of St. Augustine's have been largely due.

Policemen covered every entrance and exit, while Coyle and Sherwood, followed by the captain, sergeants and detectives swung themselves noisless- ly through the tran doors and subterra-y nean entrances to the gambling room.

Cleveland, July 28. A thousand men packed the streets in the neighborhood of the Brown Hoisting Works this morning. There was a scramble to get places near the gate, and many of the men who had been foremost in the recent riots waited quietly at the gates from 5:30 A. until 7 o'clock. The non-union men arrived under escort.

The sullen looks of the men who stood and watched them was the only indication of the bitter hatred with which they are regarded by the union "men. Superintendent Hess arrived a short time after the non-union men and addressed the crdwd outside. He said he could not hire them all back, but would put them to work as fast as he could. One hundred of the strikers went to work this morning. HELD FOR STABBING A MAN.

Coal Dealers Want Twenty-five Cents More a Ton. NO PROFIT FOR THREE MONTHS MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION LAST NIGHT AND THE ACTION TAKEN SOME WANTED TO MAKE IT, HIGHER WHAT COAL COSTS AT TIDE-WATER NO MONEY IN IT.

There was held last night at the" Mechanics' and Traders' Exchange a well-attended meeting of the Brooklyn "Coal Dealers Association, at which President' Patterson occupied the chair, and George A. Thompson was secretary. The one important piece of business transacted was the adoption of a resolution by the association recommending to coal dealers throughout the city an advance of 25 cents a ton. This does not make it obligatory on dealers to do It, but if what men in the business say is true they will be eager enough to adopt it. "Was there any discussion over this proposed- advance?" asked- a Standard Union reporter of a prominent member of the association this morning.

"The onry discussion," he replied, "was as to whether the advance should not be more. The advance in wholesale rates have been wholly out of proportion with retail prices. We have been selling coal at cost for nearly three months. The price of stove coal at the company'3 shipping point. South Amboy, is $4.25 per ten.

Add to this twenty cents a ton for freight-Ins it across, the cost of unloading. screening and retail delivery, and there is nothing In it for us at present prices." GEN. WEYLER'S LATEST. PITS PRIVATEERS AGAINST FILI-- BUSTERS. Madrid, July 28.

The captains making seizures will be free of all responsibility. American Legion of Honor As-' sessments Greater. TROUBLE IN MANY COUNCILS, A MEETING IS TO BE HELD HERE ON THURSDAY TO SETTLE ALL DISSATISFACTION NF-'W YORK STATE COMMANDER M' GO WAN MAKES A EttVTEMENT BOOKS OPEN TO ALL, B. F.

McGow'n. New York State Commander of the American Legion of Honor, made a statement to-day regarding articles wb4ch have been published to the effect tmat there was great dissatisfaction amopg Brooklyn Councils on account of increased assessments. McGowan said ite had just returned from a visiting tour of the councils in the State, and had not yet been able to learn; who had instigated the article printed. He believed, however, that they were authorized merely a few discontented members of the order. The threat uttered that New York State would secede If the were increased, he said, was all nonsense, as the State Councils cannot secede.

All they can do is to withdraw from the order. The Grand Commander said It was true that the assessments were to be doubled, but only for the months of August and September. This Is necessary, he to bring the order out of indebtedness and the plan was officially sanctioned at a mass meeting of the New York State Councils held In this city on July 15. "According to the articles printed," said Mr. McGowan.

"I see that the claim is made-that the New York State Councils paid in $250,000 more last year than was paid out tor death benefits in this State. That is true, but it will be as the denth rate is much higher this year In this State. On the other hand. New York State has drawn out two-thirds of all the sick benefits paid out since the institution of the order." Since the order was started Massachusetts has paid in $800,000 more than has been paid out in that State for benefits. The talk about the supreme officers not administering affairs properly is wrong, as can be proven by any member of the order who wishes to examine the books, which are always open for inspection." Mr.

McGowan stated that the order has been- In existence eighteen years and has a -membership of 53,000. On next Thursday evening the Grand Commander is to have a conference in this city with officers of the councils of this city, and will then endeavor to learn where the discontent rests that prompted the publication of the articles mentioned.

Between Gen. Harrison and Chairman Mark Hanna. A DIFFERENCE OFi OPINION BETWEEN THE TWO LEADERS AS TO WHETHER THE TARIFF OR MONEY ISSUE IS ON THE MAIN TRACK BUT THE EX-PRESIDENT IS READY TO GO INTO THE CAM- PAIGN. I I Chicago, July 28. A special from Terre Haute, says: There is an authentic story in regard to the pointed correspondence between Gen.

Harrison and Mark Hanna which explains why Mr. Hanna sent. Major Dick to the depot In Cleveland the other day when Gen. Harrison was' passing through the city and did not go himself. Immediately after the nomination of Major McKinley Mr.

Hanna wrote to Gen. Harrison, saying he had decided to' open the campaign early and would arrange the order of things this year by bringing the bis campaign guns Into service at the beginning of the engagement, He requested Gen. Harrison to prepare a speech as early as possible, and as he, Hanna, had decided to make the tariff the chief issue of the campaign, he asked the ex-President to give it the most attention. "It Is our purpose," he wrote, "to give the tariff the main track and let the money issue, lie on a siding as much as possible." Gen. Harrison wnt a "Brief Teply, which he said he had completed his plans for the summer, and did not know when he would be able to go Into the cimpan.

If his observation' of the trend of affairs was correct, he feared the money issue already had the main track, and that the tariff was on the siding, and would likely rrmaln there. With this letter to Mr. Hanna the correspondence closed. Notwithstanding the Hanna correspondence and the strained relations between Gen. Harrison the chairman of the Indiana State Committee, it i3 understood the ex-President will go into the campaign, because he knows how deeply the public welfare Is involved in the question at issue.

HOBART AND MR, QUAY EXPECTED FOR A CONSULTATION. Mark Hanna arrived at the Grand Central Depot, New York City, this morning. He was met at the depot by S. R. Calloway, of Cleveland, and Police Commissioner Fred.

They escorted him to the Waldorf Hotel, where he was Introduced to Gen. Osborne. Commissioner Grant and Gen. Osborne held a consultation with Mr. Hanna upon the arrival of the party at the hotel.

At 12:30 o'clock Mr. Hanna came out xf the consultation room and announced that he would probably be here for a full week. His-object, he said, in visiting this cj.ty, was to establish a headquarters here. When asked where the Republican headquarters would be, he' said that the rooms In. the Metropolitan Insurance Company building in Madison Square, selected by Gen.

Osborne, would be the proper place wherein to hold meetings of the organization in New York City. Mr. Hanna said that he expected Senator Quay of Pennsylvania and Mr. Hobart, Vice-Presidential nominee, to visit him this evening. In a short talk with a reporter Mr.

Hanna said: "I am not infallible; if any one who, attending the regular Republican meetings, thinks he knows more than I do about the political situation and is willing to advance his opinions, can either convince me of the error of my ways, or else if he thinks his arguments are strong enough to enroll me in the fold of the silverites, I am perfectly willing to be convinced. Mr. Hanna expects to be In this city for a week during which time he will meet Mr. Pla'tt and Cornelius N. Bliss.

He will, it Is said, endeavor to straighten out the differences now existing Mr. Piatt and Cornelius N. Bliss, the representative of the Union Leaguers. OCEAN STEAMSHIPS. Arrived New Tork.

ETT KS MR. HANNA HERE. JLfc Michael J. Lehmaier Fatally Woanded Early, To-Day. JOHNSOX FIRED FIVE SHOTS To Protect His Alleged Sister From Her Husband's Abnse.

TRAGIC (END OF MANY QUARRELS. A BOARDING HOUSE IN NEW YORK CITY THE SCENE OF THE MURDER -JOHNSON ADMITS HIS GUILT, AND IS ARRESTED LEHM AIER'S STORY NO HOPE FOR RECOVERY. Michael P. Lehmaier, 40 years old, an advertising agent, living at 49 West Thirty-fifth street. New York City, was shot and fatally wounded at 3:30 o'clock this morning by Charles A.

Johnson, who claims to be the brother of Mrs. Lehmaier. i The shooting was done, according to Johnson, while he was trying to protect Mrs. Lehmaier from her husband's fury. Lehmaier was, taken to the New York Hospital eo wounded that there Is no hopei for his recovery.

Johnson, and the wounded man's wife were arrested and locked up in the West Thirtieth street station. Officer. Carey, who heard the shots, found Lehmaier lying on the floor In a pool of blood. His wife and Johnson were standing near him. Johnson held a re volver in his hand, which he quietly hand ed to the policeman, and at the same time rcmarnea: "I shot him." Lehmaier was apparently dying.

Although shot in a vital part of the body, he was still conscious -and able to talk. He pointed out Johnson as the one who shot him. The policeman sent for an ambu lance, and after Lehmaier was removed in it to the hospital he took Johnson and Mrs. Lehmaier to the station house. About three months ago Mrs.

Lehmaier had her husband arrested for abandon ment, and he was placed under bonds to pay her $10 a week. The woman claimed afterwards that the money was never paid to ner. i About a month ago Lehmaier calbd at the boarding house and effected a recon clliatknv with his wife. Their reconcili ation was very brief, for it was only two days later' that they had one of their usual quarrels and the woman Insisted that Lehmaier should leave the house. He did go away, but returned at a late hour tne same night and forced his way Into nis wire room.

About 5 o'clock on the morning of Julv 2 the policeman on duty in front of th? house heard a woman scream and a moment later Mra. Lehmaier jumped out of a second story window to the roof of an extension on the side of the boarding nouse. was clad only In a night kow. When she saw the policeman she shouted to him tiiat her. nusuand was going to murder her.

The' policeman ran upstairs and causrSt Lehmaier as he was preparing to leap out or tne window after his wife. He was arrested and locked up in Jeffer son market prison in aelauit ol $1,000 on a cnarge or assault. UOsI In the afternoon he made an un successful attempt to commit suicide. He removed the crystal from his watch, and with it tried to sever the arteries of both wrists. I His act was discovered tn and the prison keepers held his wrists to stop the flow of blood until an ambulance arrived; He Was then taken to Be'-ievue Hospital, where he was a patient for a few days, Mrs.

Lehmaier was in the Jefferson Market Court yesterday to ge-' summons tor her husband. He was beating her again, she said. A summons was given to her. which was returnable this morning. Johnson, wlio has boarding in the same h-use with tb Lebmaiers for the past week, was w-h Mrs.

Lehmaier to render her whon she gave the summons to her husband about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Then there was mere Lehmaier was enraged-at his Johnson shared part of his anger. -1 Lehmr-i'er gave his version of the affair to Policeman Carey. He said that he was a nvurphine fiend. About 3 o'clock this mprnlng he woke up and couid not get to s.eep again.

He left his bed to go to his wire room and get morphine powders, which he had left there. When he reached the dooi of the room he heard the voices of his wife and a man. He tried to open the door, but found it locked. Then he tried to force it open, and was shot, Lehmaier declared that it was not true that Johnson was his wife's brother. He said Johnson was her former husband, and had proof to offer to that effect.

Johnson contended tha he merely acted in self-defense, as he feared that Lehmaier intended to kill both Mrs. Lehmaier and himself. The first shot he fired lodged In the fancy woodwork on the side of the room, It was fired Just as Lehmaier forced the dcor open. The second shot struck" a lounge, and was lost In the excelsior. The next thre? shots were fired with a truer aim.

and every one of them took effect In Lehmaier's body. One entered the man's left side, the second struck him in the groin, while the third penetrated hlfe risrht leg. Policeman Carey arraigned Johnson and Mrs. Lehmaier in the Jefferson Market police court shortly after 11 o'clock, and produced a certificate from Dr. Keyes, house surgeon of the New York Hospital, who wrote that he was unable as yet to determine the extent of Lehmaier's injuries, i Carey said that when he entered the house he found Johnson standing in the hall, holding a revolver in his hand.

When lie took him in the room he saw Lehmaier lying on a bed, perfectly conscious. Lehmaier pointed at Johnson and said: "That is the man who shot me. He did it because I tried to get at. him while he was assaulting my wife." Carey says that both Johnson and Mrs. Lehmaier were fully dressed st the time.

He had arrested Mrs. Lehmaier simply because she was in the room at the time. Johnsnn told Magistrate Deuel that he had nothing to say, and he was held without bail, while Mrs. Lehmaier was discharged. She also refused to talk; saying, that she was so broken down by her husband's abuses Nthat she could hardly collect her scattered senses.

Magistrate Deuel ordered the police to bring a new certificate of Lehmaier's condition to court tormorrow morning at 11 o'clock. DlKli. HARSH. On Monday. July 27.

When Mayor Wurster and Controller Palmer and Bond Clerk Hubert Smith met at noon in -the Controller's office to open the bonds, there were only two envelopes supposed to cont iin proposals.

The Mayor remarked that he thought It would be for the bt interests of the city to adjourn the sale to Sept. 15 at noon. He so moved, the Controller seconded, and the sale was adjourned to that date. Two proposals were not regarded as sufficient competition. They were only opened to learn who they were from, that they might be returned to those who sent them.

Controller Palmer declined to make any comment on the sale. The total amount of city securities offered to-day was $1,535,000. Mayor Wurster said: "The tightness of the money market is' the cause for so few bids. The'roserve in the banks of New York has fallen from $60,000,000 to Money is goins; West much earlier than usual this year to move the crops. It is no reflection whatever on the credit of New York or Brooklyn that our bonds do not And a ready sale.

Kit is partly due to the silver agitation and Its possible consequences. I regard the securities of New York and Brooklyn as better to-day than those of the National Government, because our bonds and interest are iay-ble in gold, while those of the Government are not. "Under the circumstances we thought It w1ri nHinum the. an until RpnrpmhpT when there will be more bidders."

C. Paddock, of Philadelphia, who bid for $300,000 of any of the bonds at 1.15 3-4. The Controller and his assistants do not understand the bid. They say it may be el the? $115.75, a phenomenally high bid, or only $101.75. What the intention of the bidder was does not appear on the face of the bid.

E. Beekman Underhill bid for $200,000, equally divided at 100.55 and 100.125. FriKlerlek Uhlmann, president of the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad bid for $100,000 of New East River Bridge bonds at 101. Arthur S. Fairchild ottered 100.01 for $50,000 worth of the paper; M.

CHIEF JUDGE RUSSELL'S CHARGE WAS AGAINST THE PRISONERS CHIEF JUSTICE SAID THE ACTS OF THE DEFENDANTS MIGHT ENTAIL CONSEQUENCES WHICH NOBODY COULD FORESEE MANY WELL-KNOWN SOCIETY LADIES IN COURT. London, July 28. The case of Dr.

Jameson. Major Sir John Willoughby, Major Raleigh Grey. CoL H. F. White, Major R.

White, and the Hon. Henry F. Coventry, who took prominent parts In the recent raid Into the Transvaal, was continued in the High Court of Justice this morning before Lord Chief Justice Russell, Baron Pollock and Justice Hawkins. The defendants. It will be recalled, are charged with violating the Foreign Enlistment Act of 1870, in that they took part in an armed expedition against a State with which Great Britain was at peace.

Yesterday counsel for the defense and the prosecution submitted their cases, and at 10:30 o'clock this morning Lord Chief Justice Russell began to sum up. At that time the courtroom was crowded, interest in the case reviving drew to a close. Among those present were many well-known society ladies. In summing up Lord Russell emphasized the importance of the trial. He said that the crime with which the defendants was charged mig-ht entail, consequences which nobody could foresee.

There had been no attempt to gainsay the statements of the witnesses for the prosecution, but if the Jury had any real doubt as to the nature of the defendants' acts they must give them the benefit of it. Continuing, the Lord Chief Justice said that if such things as the defendants were charered with had been done by the Queen's authority they would have amounted to an act of war. Done by the Queen's subjects, without her authority, they amounted to an illegal filibustering raid. If the grievances referred to in the letter signed by the five leaders of the Johannesburg Reform Committee, summoning Dr. Jameson to the assistance of the residents of Johannesburg, were legitimate, the Queen's representatives should have been appealed to, and not a trading-company (the British South Africa Company).

Lord Russell concluded his summing up at 4:20 o'clock, and the case was then glven-to the Jury, who at once retired to consider their verdict. The Jury remained in their room until 5:25 o'clock, when they Hied Into the court room, and in response to a question by the clerk of the court, announced that they had agreed upon their verdict, which was guilty against all the defendants. After the usual formalities had been compiled with the court- sentenced Dr. Jameson to fifteen months' imprisonment. Malor Sir John WiHousrhby was sentenced to ten months.

Col. H. F. W'hite to seven months, and the other defendants to three months' Imprisonment each. None of the prisoners will be compelled to do hard labor during their Incarceration.

A man who save his name as Benjamin Druben. aged 32 years, of 43 Throop avenue, went Into the saloon of James Troy, at 300 Myrtle avenue, last night, and after Introducing himself as an excise inspector, asked to examine the building. Mr. Troy politely escorted him through the premises, and later Druben said that everything seemed to In accordance wth the Raines law, except that the doors of the rooms should be numbered.

COMMITTEEMEN VERY RETICENT. A. AUGUSTUS HEALEY AND S. PERRY STURGIS ARE IN FAVOR OF A THIRD TICKET, BUT WILL AWAIT ACTION OF STATE CONVENTION A BRIEF MEETING WITH NO CONTROVERSIES. The Democratic State Committee met at the Hoffman House at noon to-day and selected Buffalo as the place for holding the next State Convention, and Sept.

16 as the date. Nearly all the districts were represented. Members from Brooklyn present were; J. J. P.

Fagan, Dr. Maxfteld, Andrew McLean, as proxy for John Weber; B. J. York, proxy for Judge Walsh; James W. Holmes, proxy for ex-Congressman Mag-ner; A Augustus Healey and S.

Perry Sturges. Before the committee assembled members who were seen In the foyer of the Hoffman House were extremely loath to discuss the situation. There seemed to be a general agreement, however, that It would be most unwise for-the committee to take any action whatever on the' Chicago nominations or platform In advance of the meeting of the State Convention. S. Perry Sturgis said that if the Chicago platform and nominations were endorsed it would disrupt the Democratic party In this State, prevent the success of local candidates, and that next year, when the people were appealed to.

no faith whatever would be put in any declarations the party might make. A. Augustus Healey said that he was In favor of nominating a third ticket and going ahead, but in regard to the present meeting, if it was the programme to do nothing more than simply name place and date for the State Convention, he would acquiess. Members of the committee from up the State were extremely reserved In expressing their sentiments on the situation. George H.

Cotton, of Elmlra, when asked about the feeling in his section r-gardlng the Chicago platform and nominations said that it was too early to say much. One Bryan and Sewali Campaign Club had been formed. He thought the Democrats stood a good chance of electing a Governor this fall. HiB candidate for that office was John B. Stanchfield.

He described the situation as "very funny" and "queer." Calvin J. Husoh. of Penn Yan, said that his constituents were Democrats, and so the" natural thing to do was to endorse the nominations made at Chicago. There was considerable silver sentiment In his neighborhood, particularly among agriculturists. He had heard of Republicans who vote with the Democrats on the silver question.

Mr. Huson was not very emphatic in expressing these views. Ex-Senator McClelland of Westchester and Warden Stout of Auburn prison both said there were a good many people in their sections who were in accordance with the Chicago platform on the silver question; in fact, it was quite evident that if a vote was taken In the committee on endorsing the platform it would receive a majority of the votes. A long wait occurred In calling the meeting to order. This was caused by.

a conference between Senator Hill, F.Sheehan, Bernard J. York, and several up-country members. It was rumored thaft they were discussing the call for the State Convention, and also that the place of meeting had been found difficult to settle. It was nearly 1 o'clock when the session commenced. The only business done was calling the roll, and the proposition to have the convention at Buffalo on Sapt.

16, which was promptly carried. There was no controversy, and the matter of endorsing Presidential nominations did not come up. The following members of the committee and proxies were present: Perry Bslmont, John H. Sutphin. John J.

The International Socialist Trades Congress met In St. Martin's town hall to-day, and the of the admission of anarchists as delegates which yesterday precipitated a free.fiBht and caused the chairman to declare the Congress adjourned, was again taken 4ip for final action. Speeches for and against their recognition as delegates were made by Jean Jaures, a radical Socialist member of the French Chamber of Deputies; Tom Mann, who was formerly a member of the House of Commons, and others. The-opponents of the proposition declared with equal spirit that the admission of the Anarchists would have the effect of leading the general public to believe that the Socialist favored the Anarchist propaganda, which, the speakers cpntended, was not the casei Eventually another vote was taken, am It was Anally decided that the Anarchlsti should not be admitted. The Congress then proceeded to the als- cusslon of other questions.
