The City Dotted with Little Ones in Holiday Dress Bearing Flags and Banners All the Divisions Hade a Splendid Showing. It has come to a proverb, almost, that whatever 'aay Is designated tor the annual parade of the Sunday school children, the weather will be of the finest. As a rule, it has been the practice of the managers of the Sunday School Union, whose auspices this vast orderly outpouring of children take their annual walk, to telegraph to the Weather Bureau to reserve some pleasing temperature and lunghlnt for tie great event to fall of delightful anticipation, and It It dne to the Signal1 Service" people to say that they have always aocoiinnodated Brooklyn in this respect whenever they eonld; and it may be that, between their sympathy and determined they have acquired the habre of furnishing' fin weather.

What a boon this is can only be estimated when it is remembered that 60,000 or 70,000 children are in isoUday dress, are exposed to the vlcissitudea of heat and and their entire enjoyment rests upon favorable weather conditions. The parade to-day, -distributed aa usual, in various sections of the city, the largest body being in Prospect Park, was ot more than usual and seemed to be participated in with even greater enthusiasm than in any previous year. Tula annual festival is local to Brooklyn, and appeals to the pride of the people through a common bond of sympathy their children and their neighbor's children. The various divisions of the parade and their locations are herewith fully set forth: At 11 o'clock this forenoon the ringing of the City- Hall and church bells quickened the pulses of thousands of children whose doubts of a possible failure of the plans for the parade were dissolved; and at the appointed hour 170 schools turned out 67,000 children in eleven different divisions, under the grand marshalahlp of Charles E. Teale, whose heart la thoroughly in the work.

With the single exception of the Prospect Park Division, there was an order of exercises in the various schools begun at the same hour. They were in their churches promptly at 2tS0 P. and formed for marching a short time later. The order of exercises observed in the ohnrches was as follows: 1, singing; 2, reading scripture; 3, singing; 4, prayer; 6, singing; 0, address; 7, singing; 8vbenedlction. Mr.

The Prospect Park Division, embracing twenty-seven schools, attracted an immense throng to the Park. It always does; not be cause the schools sre superior to the other schools, or the children any prettier, but because there Is a fine opportunity afforded to see and because of the attractions of the Park itself. This small army of peace went gaily into the Park, 11,000 strong, at 2:30 P. with many waving banners, marching to Anniversary Hill under the ma- shalship of David Clark Beatty, and led by Centerno-c Sana! band.

WJElam J. Irving, who Uvea on Butledge street near Bedford avenue, on May IT married Miss Emma Wlcht, of 96 Manjer street. Since then he the ginl ttas been taken from him, and la now kept a prisoner at her parents' house.

The parent of both the parties have taken no the cause of their chad, and win bring the matter to Che courts, having engaged David Teese, of 155 Grand street, and Fronk W. O'Brien, of Broadway near Berry street, two of tha best-known lawyers la the Eastern Katrlct David Teese, who represents the parenta of the young woman, tens tiu following story: "On the 17th of this month, young Irving, who aad net knows Miss Wlcht long, called at the house and took her out for a walk. The young lady, In telling her story to me, said that Irving took her to a aaloon, the exact location of which I do not remember, and while there induced her to drink some wine, which, she claims, deprived her of all control over herself. Irving suggested that they get married, and ahe laughingly consented. Then he- took her to the residence of the Rev.

J. J. White, S3 South Third street, pastor of the Bedford Avenue M. P. Tabernacle.

This pastor, who is known as Dominie white, was not in, but two women In the house played the piano for them, and detained them until the pastor arrived, when they were married. Then her husband took her to the saloon, but she refused to enter, and insisted on being taken to hia home. They remained together that night, and on Wednesday, aa young Irving was walking on Broadway near Marcy avenue, the father and mother of the gin met mm, ana tne zatner demanded that Irving tell where he had put nls daughter. You mean, where have I put my wifer sold Irvine. 'She is at my "As soon as the astonished father recovered hit senses, there ensued a scene, in which the father-in-law, mother-in-law, and son-in-law were Indescribably mixed.

Young Irving, as soon" as he disentangled himself, ran away. The next day the girl's father called on his son-in-law, and, it ia claimed, by force took his daughter away. This is not the case, however, as the girl went willingly. We will new see what can be done in the matter of a separation. The young wife tells me" that she does not want to live with her husband, and asks for on annulment of the marriage, but I am afraid the court would not grant it.

Every effort will, however, be made to free the girl. She is uncommonly pretty and vivacious." The unfortunate spouse," who Is only 20 years of age. says: "She was willing to marry me, and on Thursday her father came to our house, broke his way in, and by telling my wife that her mother was dying, he forced her to accompany him home, where she is now held a prisoner. Dominie, I mean Pastor, White married us, and I know Emma never left me of her own tree -will. I must have her, because I love her." The parents of the girl say that tne noy used undue influence to secure her consent; that she was drugged when married, and that the form of the alleged marriage could not be considered entirely respectable.

They call attention to the fact that Pastor White has married more couples in the district than all the other pastors in that section of the city; that the couple were detained and en tertained In the parlor until the pastor came to hia home to perform the ceremony. The social standing of all concerned is of the very highest, the young girl being the niece of Dr.E. B. Wlcht, a well-known dentist. Her reputation has been of the toeat, and she -refused to make any statement to a Standard- Union reporter to-day, other than to send word that she did not know what she was drinking the night ef the Impromptu marriage.

Irving is employed ta a dry goods store on Broadway near Marcy avenue. AN IMPORTANT REAL ESTATE SALE THE "PROSPECT VIEW" AGAIN SOLD IN FORECLOSURE NEARLY $100,000 OF PROPERTY UNDER THE HAMMER. The four five-story apartment houses, with stores, on Flatbush avenue and Prospect place, known as the "Prospect View," were sold to-day by Thomas A Kerrigan, in foreclosure of the mortgage of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of New York, of $83,000, to the company for $98,750. The mortgage foreclosed is a first lien, and the sale probably terminates a long -and much-involved series of transactions affecting the title to this valuable and eligible property. The improvement of the ground was begun 1888 by a builder named Finley, who had proceeded but a short distance when he was obliged, from lack of means, to give up the enterprise.

Messnt, Watson Plttlnger, dealers in material, took title, completing the houses and securing themselves by additional mortgages. Subsequently, for their advances, Herbert D. Watson took title to four of the eight houses, and A. W. Dieter, the well-known hotel keeper and restaurateur, took title to the other font.

Mr. Dieter subsequently exchanged with a Dakota speculator named Day the four which be owned, and Mr. Day partially concluded a trade of them to Mrs. Eliza Knight, of Sparkill, N. whose extensive operations of a questionable character.

Her Assailant Secured Only 930, bat Wonuded Her So Terribly That Recovery te Almost Impossible. i In attempting to protect her possessions this morning, Mrs. Magdalene Springer, 50 year of age, of 302 Park iBow, New York, was so brutally beaten chat ahe now lies in Chambers Street Hospital between life and death. Mr. Springer occupies the first floor at the above number.

There are four rooms on that floor. She has only need for two of the rooms. a her ahmKy consists bat of herself and two small children, her husband having been sent to the insane eeylnm on Black well's Island six months ago. In order to ltd herself of superfluous spartsnsna and at the same time bring in revenue, fMrs. Springer has been in the habit of renting out 4er two rear rooms.

One or. tnese was occupied by a man named Lutz. utaograpner. A few minutes after 8 o'clock this morning, a tenant of one of the nnner floors is nun. ing Mrs.

Springer's door heard a groan. He i auuuteu ai tne ooor, oat there was no response. He tried to go in, but the bolt was turnea. ne ceued, and was answered by a feeble voice from within the room, which said: "I am dying." Then the man hurried down stairs, and In- Park Row found, Policeman Sweeney. The latter broke in the door.

-Mrs. Springer waa found on the floor in a pool of blood. Her clothing had literally been torn from her body. The blood came from a number of gaahea in her head. There had evidently been a terrible struggle in- the room, for chairs were overturned; a table was broken, and the pipe in the stove had seen knocked down.

An ambulance was summoned, and before its arrival, Mrs. Springer told as well as she could, for she was suffering great agony, how ahe had received her injuries. Her boarder, Lutz, had entered her room and demanded money of her, threatening violence if she refused him. She did refuse, and protested that she had none. His answer was to eize her by the hah: with one hand, while with the other he attempted to reach the pocket of her dress.

The strog-ble which-ensued, was short "mrtdesperate." The woman defended herself with almost superhuman strength, while Lutz sounded her faea and body with his flats, finally the man, with a great effort, threw the woman from him, sprang towards the window, from the sill of which he secured half a brick. Holding this in hia hand he began hammering the gray-haired woman on the head. Again and again the brick waa raised in the sir; again and again it desceneded on the head of the now-r- 'lausted woman, until she became unconscious. Mrs. Springer was removed to the -Chambers Street Hospital, where Dr.

Stone found that there were fifteen distinct cuts in her head. Her skull Is fractured, and her condition la critical. Twenty dollars, which she says -was in her pocket. Is missing. After beating the woman, Lutz must have stolen the money and locked her in.

Mrs. Springer Is unable to give any good description of Lctz, and there Is no one in the house who remembers seeing him. Mrs. Springer says he is "middle-aged and Ill-looking." The police are looking for- him. THE BOARD OF ESTIMATE.

THE MAYOR REQUESTED TO CALL A MEETING THIS WEEK ITS PARTICULAR OBJECT.

It is announced that the Charities Department is withholding its budget from the Board of Estimate until after a meeting of the Board of Supervisors, next Tuesday, when it ia hoped that the Board will over ride the veto. In tbat event, the $265,000 will appear In their budget. The Mayor took no action In the matter to-day. It is said that the budgets of several of the depart ments are a number ef days legally overdue.

Mayer Boody Appealed to to Recommend an Appropriation ot 92,500 lor the Duplication in Prospect Park of the Statne Erected by the "Brooklyn Chasseurs" at Gettysburg. It has been more or less a matter of wonderment to many cMxeaa of Brooklyn that; not-wimstanding Hie fact that the Fourteenth Beg-ment, N. Y. S. Is "the only distinctively Brooklyn organization that participated throughout the late civil war, and, moreover, that their record ia second to none for deeds of gaSantry and sacrifice, that there exists not a single mark throughout the entire city to perpetuate their history to remind the rising generation or those to come of the deeds ot gtory performed by the "Brooklyn Chasseurs," or the "Red-Legged Devils," as they were va nonary Known.

For some time past, the advisability) of asking the local authorities to erect some fitting tribute to their memory has been discussed by the members of the Fourteenth Begiment War Veterans' Association, and yesterday John Jochum, secretary of the Tablet 'Commitsee of me Fourteenth Regiment War Veterans' Association, sent a communication to Mayor Boody, in which he set forth that in almost every town, village, and city throughout the Empire State, imposing memorials had been erected to commemorate the field servTce ot their distinctively representative, organizations, while in the city of Brooklyn, with close on to a million inhabitants, and with a regiment whose war record waa a matter, of history, and of pride to the city, there waa naught to perpetrate their memory. Mr. Jochum calls attention to the fact that the statue at Gettysburg, which the Fourteenth Regiment War Veterans' Association had erected, cost nearly S4.000; but that the Smith Granite Company, of Wester ly, R. who did the work, carefully preserved the east of the clay model of the "Brooklyn Chasseur," and had agreed to duplicate It for 1,500. He estimates that a polished granite pedestal, with the simple inscription.

"Erected to commemorate the field aewiees -at -the Fourteenth Regiment, N. T. B. Brooklyn Chasseurs' 1881-1865," would cost about SI, 000. and aska that the Mayor lay the matter before the Common Council, at their next, meeting, with a recommendation that they appropriate the necesearx.

amount of money; and further suggests that a suitable place for the erection i of the statue would be Prospect Park. near the entrance. 0CALA AND SILVER SPRINGS.

Mr. Gessenheimer, of New Jersey, who ia In charge of the bill, says he will push It to a vote within the next week.
