The Aldermanic Health Committee, of which Alderman Beard is Chairman, last night considered the petition of resl-deuU of Windsor Terrace, Flatbush, for tbe removal of the stables of the Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad Company.

Gen. Siocum promised that the stables would be removed. This suggestion was enthusiastically received by the petitioners, who volunteered to ecure consents of property owners to the electric road if possible. COLD WEATHER FORBEARS. THE REVIVAL OF BUSINESS MAKES THEM HUNT FOR COVER.

Only a few others were as prompt as myself premature, some persons call it and we found the lady of the house cheerful, chatty and good humored. A late iiersonal experience which she told was en-oyed immensely by her small audience. She tad not been feeling well, had been depressed and nervous, and somebody advised her to try Christian science, tine consulted a "healer." who informed her that she was not ill, depressed or nervous that such states of feeling had no real existence that she must lift herself into an exalted atmosphere, keep herself in an elevated condition of mind aud thus free herself from these troubles, which were nothing more than the evidence of sin, to. She was much impressed by this moat spiritual doctrine and returned to her home feeling that she had indeed been lifted into the regions of the beautiful and tlie good. At dinner, surrounded by her husband and children, she continued in this transcendental atate as evidenoed by her conversation and thinks she mijrht be there still had she not been rudely lowered to the level of corumonplnce life by tie remarks of Various members of the family about tlie board.

THE MARTYRED CROMN. HIH DEATH TO BE COMMEMORATE! BY SPECIAL SERVICES A Circular Setting Forth the Facts or HI Cruel Murder and Crying fur VengeanceThe Hody to be Removed From Its Present Heating Place.

Chicaoo, 111., April 27. Every worshiper at each of the serviced held in all the Catholic churches of the city to-morrow will be pre-se ted with a copy of an addaess issued by the Crouin Committee. It will read follows and Fellow-citizens Come to Central Music Hall May 3. Come to Calvary Cemetery May 4. Your character, the huuur of your race and the interests of the Irish national cause are at stuke.

You can best vindicate all three by honoring the memory of a man who lost his life in their defense and who scaled his devotion with his biood. The night of May 4, 1889, Patrick Henry Cronin was foully murdered in the Carlson Cottage by misguided members of his own race, instigated by the worst enemies the Irish cause has encountered for more than a century. The name of that sacred cause was prostituted by political bandits, that their dishonesty and treachery might be covered up by the false outcry that the man who would expose their crime-! was British spy. His body, still bearing the emblems of his religious faith, was flung into a Bewer, confident that its loathsome surroundings would insure speedy decomposition. The miscreants who planned the murder then set to work to it their ictim's character by a system of di-aflulioal lyingunparalleled inmodery history.

The providential discovery of the body and its complete identification by hundreds of friends eighteen days later and the subse-queutreeovery of the murdered man's clothes and surgical instruments served to partially frustrate this monstrous conspiracy. But it still lives and plots against the law of the land and against your good name and dearest interests. The real murderers of Ir. Crouin are still at large, and their crime still cries to Heaven for vengeance. The address concluded by saying that on the anniversary of the most atrocious and cold-bloodod crime ever committed in this community the remains of Dr.

Croniu will be taken from the vault and placed in the grave that has been selocted as their final resting place. Appropriate religiotiB exercises will mark uie event. On tne evening betore there will be a mass meeting at Central Music Hall, when the true story of the facts of his life and of the conspiracy that compassed his death will be told. (Several Catholic priests of national reputa tion will be among the speakers. AT TUB STAGE ENTRANCE.

Capt. Short Tries to Abate a Nuisance on South First Street. Frequent complaints have been made at the Bedford avenue station recently by the families residing on Houth First street, between Bedford avenue and Driggs, with regard to groups of young men and young women who loiter on tbe walks convenient to the rear entrance of the Grand Theatre. The young folks in tbe parlance of the shov "lay for a giimose at the artiste as they make their exit. Capt Short resolved to abate the nuisance and last night sent several officers to make arrests.

They brought in seven prisoners. Two young men showed conclusively that they were simply passing the place at the time of the arrests they were permitted to go home. The others prisoners were: Catherine Plunket, age 17 years; Julia Beatty, 17; Mary Smith, 18: Daniel Murray, 25, and Joseph Budd, aged 18 years. Mary was sentenced to ten days in jail. Julia And Catherine were lectured and allowed to go home and the young men were sent to jail for ten days.

Justice Uoettiug imposed the sentences. THANKS TO CAPT. WARD." He Settled the Labor Troubles at Eastern Park. The following letter was received by Mayor Chapin yesterday afternoon.

Pool selling in Long Island City is not an undisturbed dream of bliss, as the account in last night's Timbs ot the troubles surrounding the profession" shows. With all tbe princi pals under arrest the outlook is not rosy by any means, but to have a conspiracy on foot to tap their money box for a vast amount by foul means is something even worse. Yesterday afternoon the police of Long Island City made the discovery th at the wires leading to the pool rooms had been tupped with a view of beating the pool sellers. Lineman Henry Berry had been inspecting the wires which carry to the pool rooms in the Puritan Athletic Club's building the results of the races. He followed the wires with his eyes the entire length.

In coming back over the same ground he found a branch wire running from the main wires into 85 Borden avenue. This branch wire had not been there when he went up the street, and bad evidently been placed there witbin half an hour. The lineman was startled. He had visions of the pool rooms being raided by sharpers, who would carry off hundreds, perhaps thousands, a of hard earned dollars by learning tbe winning horses before the pool sellers themselves did. He notified the police with a suddenness that too tueir breath away.

The police made a search of the premises, bat the culprits had taken the alarm and fled. A policeman was placed at the door with instructions to nab any one who entered or left.the building, but "the telegraph sharps discreetly kept away. The workers of this clever little scheme would have undoubtedly inade a big haul of the pool sellers' wealth 'id they not been discovered in time by Berry. The top floor of 85 avenne is leased Jby a Mrs. Harvey, who states that two young men rented a room of her on Saturday lost at the rental of $4 per week, and that since then they had been busily engaged at something in the room.

A search of the cellar revealed fifty electric battery cells and a pair of pole climbers, with the wire which would have done the damage fully connected and ready for business. In connection with Mayor Gleason's raid of yesterday Patrick Murpliy and William Murray were arrested and released in $o00 bail for trial on Wednesday, as stated iu last evening's Times. Both of these principals claim that their arrest is an outrage. hey state vehemently that they have violated no law of Long Island City, that they are not pool sellers, but simply commission agents, merely taking the money and placing the bets in New Jersey aud not in Long Island City, and that therefore the authorities will find it impossible to convict them. Mayor Gleason believes otherwise, and is secure in the belief that, with the evidence which win be furnished by Aldermen doliu M.

Desmond and Charles H. Smith, he will be able to make out a Btrong cose, and promises to make some fur My when the comes up in court next Wednesday. Meanwhile the Mayor'r actio in raiding the pool Bel lers is discussed on all sides with varying opinions in many quarters, especudly along the route ieadiug from the ferries to the pool rooms. The merchants don't object so seriously to the existence of the business, for the reason that the presence of 3,000 or mure Btrangers in town each day means brisk business and plenty of money in circulation. On the other hand, those who reap no pecuniary benefit from this source regard the Mayor's action as praiseworthy, and ore loud in the expression of the hope that the Mayor will now stamp out the pool rooms for good.

It is only the matter of a few days now when his ability to do this will be tested. RECEPTION TO A PASTOR. The Rev. E. Cunningham, of the North Fifth Street M.

Wilson's Eulogy. The members of All Souls' Church, on South Niutli street, anil mnny who used to be members, at the chapel of the church last evening for the purpose of presenting to their departing pastor, the Kev. Dr. Almon Gunnison, a few tokens of their deep regard. Dr.

Gunnison had merely been informed that there was to be a sociable at the chapel, and was completely surprised wheu the true nature of the gathering dawned upon him. In front of the platform there was a large bible, covered with a table cloth, a table of which everyone seemed to be oblivious and which the pastor did not see until just before the time for the presentation. Under that tablecloth rested a set of solid silver, including a tray, in a cae; a nau'ote vttrvmfc- wart, coai(ing nve pieces; a handsome damask table cluth and a set of napkins; a French China dinner set of 176 pieces and a handsome cut class dinner dish. As if to follow out the idea of sociable a select musical programme was carried out, con sib ting of a well-rendered duet by Miss Lulu Fuller and Miss Emma Baiter, a contralto solo by Mrs. l'eter Bell, a soprano eolo by Mrs.

ha Ferge, and a bass hoio by Mr. Wood. In the midst of thin entertainment the presentation was made by B. W. Wilson, 4 Fresuleut of the Hoard or lrustees.

Mr. Wilson, not daring to trust himself to an extemporaneous speech, hud wriiteu down whut he desired to bay. His woiuU were as follows Bkoiheb Gi'KNisoN You have, been preaching the Gospel to us most acceptably for nineteen years, and now by i our own election and against the of a loving people, you have decided to leave us for a tie la of labor where your usefulness will be extended and with the hope that thi society may be profited by the change we do not expect.dear realize the last proposition. A frnnder work than you have done for this parish could be expected of no umu, You came with us wheu we occupied the little church on Fourth street, with a debt of $1,000. We well remember with what enthusiasm you began the work and paid the debt.

Then you took bold of tlie work of building a new chureh, with but little encouragement from the members of the church not for ant of intere-t but from a lack of faith in itn accomplishment. Iu a short time, however, to our uhtouishiuent, yon had the money for the lots, and then with a perseverance equal to tho task, iu a few years we were planted in these buildings with a property costing a strong inrJuentiul Christian society. We remember thrjuh all the succeeding years, how earnestly you have worked for its interest. You have never asked us to make sacrifices unless the needs of tlie church demanded it, and our faith you made us responsive. We never knew you iu all these years to make a selfish demand.

You have never asked us to do what you were "riot ready to do yourself. You have carried the burdens of this church with manly courage, upholding our faith with a loyalty that has commanded our admiration and the respect of all the churches. You have demonstrated by your pure life and character the truth of the Gospel you have preached. You have been kind and helpful many ways, especially to the poor, and those who needed intelligent counsel and advice. You have mode our homes joyous with your presence.

You have married our young and made the wedding bells ring with your merry laughter. Iu our bereavement you have helped to lay away our de.ul in sweetest sympathy. You, sir, and we have been blessed by the aid of your faithful wife. She has demonstrated during all these years of Christian work as a helper the value of true womanhood. Her presence will be missed from this chapel, but memory- of her will be retained with sweet and loving remembrance livllf.Ki On hAhfilf of tl.A Hnnnl of Trustees, let me say we shall miss your wise counsel and yonr cheerful co-operation.

Few can say of their pastors as we can, that through all these years nothing has occurred to disturb the most perfect harmony that has always prevailed between us, and we trust that in your new field of labor you may find a Board of Trustees who will work with you with loyalty and loving consideration for the promotion of our cause. as Superintendent of the Sunday school, know it will be hard to fill your place in this department of Christian work. Always at your post, doing everything in your power to promote its interest, you and your excellent wife will be traly missed. As a citizen you will be missed on the streets of this goodly city. Yon have found time in your busy iife to take part in every enterprise that has tended to elevate its people, and yonr going away is regretted by this community, who have learned to love and respect you.

And now? sir, this society, wishing in some way to testify to the high regard and love they have for you and your estimable wife, ami to serve as a reminder of the many friends you are about to leave, have authorized me to present to you in the name of All Souls' Church aud Sunday School these tokens of regard. The society having responded to an amount of money greater than their cost, and knowing that your good wile will be a safe custodian of the surplus, I present it to her, and may God bless you both and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace and success in your new field of labor. In responding Dr. Gnnuison said: 'This is the hardest place I ever occupied. I am happy and I am sorrowful.

I didn't need this to be convinced that you held me aud mine high esteem, and 1 feel as if 1 had no worth? to express to the proof of the gratitude in my heart, not only for this renewed manifestation of yonr regard, but tor the continued kindness I have always received at your hands. "I did not think when I came to you nearly twenty years ago that I should be with you for so long a time. When this church was completed, I remember that I felt my work had been finished and I would soon depart to other fields of labor. But for nineteen years we have loved and lived together, until now the inevitable porting has come. 1 don't think you want me to go, and I am certain I do not want to go, and do so only for the good of us both.

1 think it will be a wise separation and that you will by it enjoy greater prosperity in the future than in the post I am going to a society in Massachusetts whose pastor has been with them for eleven years. 1 am certain I shall feel badly if I find the hearts of my new people so filled with love for tlie old pastor that no room remains for the new, and the pastor who is to take my place will feel badly, I know, if he finds the same conditions existing here. So, while I do not want you to forget me, I am anxious that you give a warm place in your hearts to my successor." At the close of Dr. Gunnison's remarks Mrs. Gunnison spoke a few words of thanks.

Later in the evening the Kev. Dr. Fay presented tlie pastor with a beautiful gold headed cane on behalf of the Bible class of the Sun day school. Dr. Fay's speech was brimful of humor and kept every one constantly laughing.

Dr. Gunnison responded in somewhat the same vein. Following this presentation ice cream was served, and the merry yet sorrowing party broke up. The Art Institute. A meeting of the incorporatore of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences will be held at the residence of Mr.

Jeun George Beizel, a Greek peddler from Beyrouth, Syria, told a singular story to United States Commissioner Lee yesterday, lie said that he had a wife and live children, and about a year ago came to this country.

Not caring to be troubled with her he obtained the consent of his brother, Cas-giou George Seizel, for the hitter's wife, a beautiful Greek woman of 80, to come with him. They traveled together until two weeks ago, when they met a Syrian named Jean Vaoobi at Fort Worth. He and the woman became deeply enamored of each other and Mouday Jett for the Indian Territory. Seizel wanted a warrant for the arrest of the woman, saying that if he returned to Syria without her he would be charged with her murder. The Commissioner could not issue the warrant, but finally consented to issue a certificate, showing that the woman had abandoned him.

This will be orwanled to the Beyrouth consul, for if the peddler fails to return or account for the disappearance of his brother's wife, hifl own wife and children will be made to suffer for his offense against the peculiar laws of Syria.

The Town Indignant Over the Veto of Mr. Kurth's Bill The Jamaica Bay Net Fishers Worried Over Premature Rumors The Second Avenue Extension Bill. As the session of the Legislature draws to a close the interest of the local politicians of both parties in bills now pending at Albany grows more and more practical and between now And the adjournment the Sen-, ators And Assemblymen from this county will be buttonholed and buzzed" night and day.

Assemblyman Charles J. the Twelfth District, was down town this morning and was anxiously questioned by residents of Flatlands as to the causes which led up to the Governor's veto of Assemblyman Kurth's license bill, applying to that town. Mr. Kurth said that it was out of hia power to fathom Gov. Hill's motives in the matter.

"'He' could fintt'nd other mofive' than that of petty spleen, for the Governor bad signed a precisely similar measure for the county town of New Utrecht a year ago and a like law for the county town of Gravesend two years ago. The authorities and business men of Flatlands were so certain that Assemblyman Kurth's bill would become a law that they had already made all their preparations for passing their code of town ordinances and had sent to Albany to secure a certified copy of the bill from the Secretary of State the moment it was entered on the statute book. The voters of Flatlands now thoroughly understand where the responsibility rests for the failure of the measure to put their town on the same level with New Utrecht and GiAvesend, so far as tho issuing of licenses is concerned, and they will be heard from some purpose when Gov. Hill is a candidate again. A license measure similar to that just vetoed by Gov.

Hill, which applies to the county town ol Flatbush, is still pending in the Legislature, and if it should pass, to be consistent, the Governor must veto it The residents of the town, irrespective of party, are asking thutthis bill should become a law, as they did in the case of Flatlands. It was said down town to-day that the Governor's veto of the Flatlands bill was due to the influence of ltichard L. Bnisley, President pro tempore of the Board of Supervisors, who wanted the measure amended so that the receipts from licenses should go to the credit of the town instead of being devoted to the repairs of roods, and that he should be allowed to appoint a friend ol bis as Hack Inspector. Supervisor limn ley is a machine Democrat, and if there be any truth in the reports current to-day this veto is one of the most significant instances of small politics by the Governor of the State on the record. Assemblyman Kurth complains that a report has been started in the county town of Flatlands that the Jamaica Itay Fishing bill hod passed the Assembly and that the representative of the Twelfth District of intra County had not approved it.

Mr. Kurth told several Canarsie people who called at his of Hoe, in the Franklin Building, on Item sen street, this morning in relation to the measure that it had not yet gone to a second rendiDg and that he proposed to amend it before it passed the Assembly, so that its provisions should only apply to that portion of Jamaica Bay within the territorial jurisdiction of Queens County. He said that Queens controlled sixty -eight miles of water front on the bay, while Kings hod only three miles, in which was included the village of Canarsie. He said that there were 2,000 people in Cauar-sie village, 1,500 of whom depended upon bay fishing for their living, and to pass the measure in its present form would be to deprive them of their means of livelihood at once. Ex-County Clerk John Del mar, Alderman Michael J.

Coffey and the other gentlemen behind the Second avenue extension scheme are alarmed over the poor prospects for their pet bill and are moving heaven and earth, metaphorically speaking, to pass it, for there is a fortune at stake for all concerned. They have prepared a petition for the passage of the bill which is being circulated for signatures in South Brooklyn, but it is worthy of notice that only those who are known to affiliate politically with the persons interested in the scheme and whose prosperity will not be affected if the job should be put through are asked to sign the petition. The bill has been made a party measure by the Democratic machine in this county and every effort on the part of the leading politicians in the Democratic party will be put forth within the next few days to push it through the Legislature. The men behind this job to enrich a few real estate speculators and dock builders at the expense of the taxpayers of Brooklyn, who wilk eventually have to foot the bill for this so-called improvement, have been very much Alarmed by the recent exposure of tbe gentleman of African descent concealed in the provisions of the measure now in the Legislature. No attempt has been made to contradict the statement that if this bill should becomo a law Second avenue, between Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth streets, will not be legally opened and will be the private property, of Mr.

Ambrose and his fellow-capitalists iu the South Brooklyn Ferry Company, who would thus control railroad franchises from Hamilton avenue to Fort Hamilton. The taxpayers of Brooklyn have been wakened np to the fact that the argument that the Second Avenue Extension bill means the opening of a great highway from Hamilton avenne to the Narrows is a first-class fallacy and that the measure simply gives a few capitalists And speculators a firm grip upon the avenue at their expense. To push the bill through the Legislature in the last days of the sppng session the wildest statements are being made in print by the promoters of the scheme. The property owners whose wharves it is proposed to cut through are denounced as "squatters," when, as a matter of fact, these men all purchased their present buildings from the original patentees, and contracted with the State to build docks within a certain number of years so ab to make good their water front privileges. The owners have all performed their portion of this contract and now it is proposed to condemn their property on the face of the agreement with the State.

Again, it is said that Ihe opening of Second avenue, from Hamilton Avenue to Thirty-eighth street, is neoes-Bary to a proper sewerage of that portion of the city. It is contended that the lateral sewers of Gowanus should empty at the water front, wheu every person with An ounce of brains knows that all there lateral sewers must empty into the main sewer on Third avenue by which the sewage is carried to the foot of Forty-ninth street. At one time the Third avenne main sewer woe deflected into the water at the foot of Twenty-seventh street At a cost of $30,000. Suite were at once commenced against the city for damages to neighboring property, and another $20,000 was recovered by the plaintiffs. This is of record in the cases of Hardy vs.

The City of Brooklyn, and WArd vs. The City of Brooklyn, in which, by tha war, United States District Attorney Jesse Johnson, now the counsel for the Second Avenue Extension scheme, appeared for the plaintiffs. The city is not likely to repeat this oestly experiment The Third avenue main sewer deflection had to be abandoned, as the sewers of the locality are now all laid out so that they shall empty Into the xnuin sewer. The claim is made that the passage of the bill will Add to the water front of the city. This claim is fraudulent.

It will simply lessen the water front now owned by private individuals. The city never owned any of tli is water front, which was purchased from the original patentees. These are only a few of the fallacies nut forward in favor of the pAAsage of a bill which is intended to enrich a few individuals at the expense of the city, A Great Event forthe Odd Fellows.

Louise Ford in Wide AioaJre. FoJ many years tlie question of boundary be tween tlie United States and the Dosses Bions of Great Britain were discussed, end at last, at the Convention of London held in 1818. the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude was decided upon. The parallel of latitude, however, being an imaginary line, is a very poor guide to a traveler, so the next thing to do was to mark that line so that all who should pass that war suoula know wnere it was located. Ao eordingly the country in that vicinity was surveyed, and monuments were set up at even mile intervals, the British placing oue between every two of ours.

These extend from the Lake of the Woods to the Kooky Mountains. Where the line enters forests the timber is cut down and the ground cleared a rod wide. Where it crosses small Lakes stone cairns have been built, sometimes being1 eighteen feet under water nnd eight above in other places earth mounds, seven by four teen feet, have been built The most of these mountains, which number 868 in all, are of iron. It was found that Uie most solid wooden poets were not proof against tlie ravages of tne Indians, prairie fires and the weather, so that nothing but iron would do.
