THE BROOKLYN TIMES, WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 27, 1902. 8 FATHER CROWLEY DEAD ILLNESS OF PRIEST, COVERING PAST TWO WEEKS, ENDS AT PAROCHIAL RESIDENCE. Demise Was Not Unexpected- Career of the Clergyman--His Great Work AS A Parish Builder in Many Towns on Long Island. The Rev.

Jeremiah J. Crowley, pastor the R. C. Church of St. Ambrose, De Kalb and Tompkins avenues, died at the parochital, residence, 1:40 Tompkins o'clock avenue, and morning.

KosHis death was not unexpected, he having been ill for two weeks during which time he had been confined to his bed. Previous to that he had not enjoyed the best of health and was constantly attended by Dr. Keenan, of Willoughby avenue. General debility caused his demise. For the last two days Father Crowley had been sinking.

Last night it was known that death was only a question of hours. Fathers McMurry and Donovan and two Sisters of the Order of St. Joseph were his bedside all night, being In the room when he mat closed, his arrangements eyes In death. have been made for the funeral. John J.

Brokel, of 757 De Kalb a avenue, will have charge of the funeral. The Rev. Father Jeremiah Crowley was in his sixty-eighth year. He was born in Ireland on November 1, 1884. Father Crowley received his theological training at All Hallows College, one of the largest and most famous Catholic seats of learning in Europe.

Bishop Whelan, of Bombay, ordained the then young student for the priesthood on February 2d, 1860. At the time Bishop WheJan was on a visit to Ireland. Father Crowley emigrated to this country shortly afterwards, with very complimentary letters of introduction to the late Bishop John Loughlin, then the head of the Long Island Catholic diocese. At that time Brooklyn was not over burdened with Catholic priests and Bishop Loughlin was very glad to have opportunity to Increase his staff of assistants. He found in young Father Crowley active and able aid in the work of extending the Catholic faith in this section.

In fact, In later years, Bishop Loughlin was wont to say that Father Crowley more than came up to his expectations, and he used to point to Father Crowley's energetic career as an evidence of his (the Bishop's) facility for reading character. When Father Crowley arrived in Brooklyn, the Church of the Assumption, of York street, one of the earllest. Catholic churches established in this only been a few months opened for services. It was located in a neighborhood which gave great promise of becoming a large and influential Cathollo parish, and old Bishop promptly assigned young Father Crowley to Its care. The latter got things running smoothly in the Assumption parish and Bishop Loughlin then requested him to go down on Long Island and establish a parish adjacent to the villages of Sea Cliff, Port Jefferson, Babylon and Patchogue, a territory which is now, owing largely the efforts of Father Crowley in those early days, well established Catholic parishes.

The self sacrificing work of Father Crowley at that early period of Catholicity on Long Island, did much to spread the faith from Jamaica to Montauk Point. He was one of the most hard working priests in his early life that Long Island has ever known. He had little or no thought for self and for many years occupled the rudest kind of quarters adjoining the crude frame churches which he established on Long Island. In winter months he was obliged to walk, ofttimes, knee deep in mud and snow, from his parochial residences to the homes of his parishioners, scattered away. For a number of years Father Crowley established his parochial residence at Huntington, where he was very much thought of.

He was a figure of great popularity in that neighborhood and was commonly referred to "as the Bishop of Huntington." Father Crowley continued to do such excellent work in the gradually growing sections of Long Island that the old Bishop, whose habit it was to keep his most priests in new and sparsely settled sections, concluded that the young clergyman was too valuable a man to be transferred to the city portion of the diocese, where the faith was well established. For nearly forty years Father Crowley continued to attend to the spiritual wants of suburbanites on Long Island. His work was hard and trying and after Bishop Loughlin's death, Bishop McDonnell concluded to transfer Father Crowley to one of the big parishes in the old city of Brooklyn, where he could have less burdensome work, by reason of the assistance of young curates. The Rev. Father Sheehy, pastor of St.

Ambrose Church, at Tompkins and DeKalb avenues, one of the largest and most influential parishes in Brooklyn, died unexpectedly about the time Bishop McDonnell had come to this determination in relation to Father Crowley. Father Crowley was made Father Sheehy's successor, and the Rev. Thomas York, a Brooklyn boy, who was brought up in old St. James' parish, was sent down to continue the work which Father Crowley had Instituted on Long Island. As soon as Father Crowley assumed charge of St.

Ambrose's parish, he begun to carry forth to a realization the work of erecting a new church edifice which Father Sheehy had placed in operation shortly before his death. In the less than ten years period, during which Father Crowley had presided over the destinies of St. Ambrose's parish, he had accumulated a building fund of over forty thousand dollars, and at his death, was anxiously looking forward to the beginning of building operations. The projected edifice which he had in mind was to cost in the neighborhood of one hundred thousand dollars. Father Crowley received substantial aid in his efforts to put up a new church at DeKalb and Tompkins avenues from his able assistant, the Rev.

Father McMurray, and from the Sisters of St. Joseph, who conduct one of the best equipped academies in this neighborhood, adjoining the church property at DeKalb avenue, and presided over by, Sister M. Augusta. It is said that Father Crowley's death will not materially interfere with the realization of the desire that in mind in this respect, and that Father McMurray and Sister Augusta will see to it that a new St. Ambrose Church, as a monument AT DOR IRRITATIONS OF THE SKIN, RASHES, Heat Perspiration, Lameness, and Soreness incidental to Canoeing, Riding, Cycling, Tennis, or any Athletics, no other application so soothing, cooling, and refreshing as a bath with CUTICURA SOAP, followed by gentle anointings with CUTICURA, the Great Skin Cure.

Father Crowley wag of a quiet, retiring disposition.

TALKED OF BY THE GERMANS. Concordia' Forty-third Anniversary Festival--Affairs on To-day-Plans for Big Schwaebischer. The centre of interest among the Germans of this borough to-morrow evening will be Lohmann's Park, Liberty avenue and Wyona street.

William Berri. TRUSTS, TARIFF TAXES GOV. ODELL TALKS TO THE FARMERS AT LOWVILLE ON VARIED TOPICS. A Also Gets in a Good Word for the State of New York and Her Agriculturists- -Meaning of Present Prosperity. LOWVILLE, N.

Aug. Odell addressed a large audience at the Lewis County fair this afternoon. He said: Agriculture is the basis of prosperity, and therefore, its encouragement and protection 1s a function of the State. Capital is the result of labor -its combination in the most complete and concrete form-therefore, It should be accorded no rights which are not vouchsafed to the individual and to him who labors. These truths are not mere platitudes, but inherent principles of government.

Combinations which seek to oppress the people or place upon them additional 'burdens, transgress the powers which have been given them. Whatever tends to dull the public conscience should be condemned, while whateevr makes for the good of mankind, whatever adds to our material prosperity, or elevates the moral character of our people, should receive the intelligent consideration of those charged with the responsibility of government. In according these rights the independence of the farmer is not legsened, the dignity of labor 19 upheld and those whose accumulations have made of our country, not only a great financial power, but one' that is for higher civilization, are protected against demagogic influence, the greatest enemy of prosperity and happiness. Governments cannot be maintained without tribute, and the vast civil and military adjuncts necessary for the protection and for the encouragement and education of the people, entail burdens which must be promptly met by those whose wealth has been enhanced thereby. In the State we have been accorded rights which are seldom exercised by the national government.

Upon the growth of values the State depends for the moneys necessary for its wellbeing, while the Federal Government exacts, except in the greatest emergencies, the bulk of its revenues from importations from other countries. This power forms the basis for party creeds and policies. Under a so-called protective tariff has come prosperity, but it is claimed that with it have come conditions which either through dissatisfaction or otherwise, have at times produced results which are onerous and burdensome. Whether this result is caused by a governmental policy, which seeks to benefit and protect labor. is a question of serious 1m- port.

So-called trusts may have been benefitted by high duties, but there are so many combinations that do not require or receive this aid, that I am inclined to the belief that the solution of this problem must be otherwise sought than in the elimination or lowering of tariff rates. The desire for wealth may often lead those who have the power to crush out competition by means which are the proper subjects for State or Federal legislation. In New York, with our own corportions or business concerns, there would be no difficulty with existing laws, to prevent and to punish those who thus might seek to oppress or unnecessarily burden our people. But with those. whose domiciles are in other States the task is a more diffcult one.

Wise action is demanded and in the accomplishment of this purpose we should not be led into unwise policies that may break down safeguards that have led us to our present prosperous condition. In the State the vast increase in population has brought with it many new responsibilities. Cities Versus Country Districts. From our cities come demands which must be met, and through our rural and suburban sections the desire to follow the prosperity of the municipalities has brought us face to face with problems which must be solved. In every case the wisdom of the Legislature will be taxed to the utmost.

The vast 1m- provements now being prosecuted in the City of New York, improvements in which we of the country are as much interested as are the citizens of that great metropolis, should lead us to be as liberal towards that city we are in asking recognition for our own homes. New York City contributes for the support of the State in proportion no more than the poorest school district In the State. It has benefitted in the same proportionate degree from our laws. As each locality in population. in wealth and in influence.

just so much is its ability to bear grows our additional burdens increased. We all have a pride in the great city at the mouth of the Hudson, but were it otherwise, were our motives of the most sordid character, we would still owe it to ourselves and to our State to accord every right. every privilege that might add to its commercial su- premacy. Talk on the State Tax. The almost total abolition of the State tax will take away many alarming features that have heretofore been a disturbing in the demands made upon the public purse to hold secure a commerce that has enabled us to maintain our lead among the States of the Union.

Home rule should be accorded not in the sense that any municipality should possess the power to exercise rights or privleges that are purely of a State character. but in the higher sense where Individual liberty does not interfere with moral rights and municipal government. is in harmony with a constitution of the people. Our State has been making progress. and while at times o'nstacles which seemed almost unsurmountable, have hindered the speedy determination of important questions.

yet I am convinced that ultimately what is generally demanded for the good of the State will be freely accorded without the acrimony of partisanship or the bitterness of party contest. Nor have the conditions we enjoy resulted from mere chance. but they have been freely contributed by those whose interests have been taxed for the beneft of the whole State. For years there have been added new conditions and new privileges which have at last 'brought us up to a point where the total abolition of direct taxation is in sight. and through the liberalization of our corporation laws new property is being constantly added to every section to assist in bearing local burdens.

During the past year. the frst under the operation of these new laws, over eight hundred millions of new capital has resulted, an increase of over half a million over the preceding year. Result of Encouragement to the Farmer Encouragement to the farmer, has increased his products by eighty millions of dollars annually over the preceding census period. The prosperity of the mechanic and those who labor, is evidenced by the largest deposits in our savings banks within the history of the State. Everywhere the wisdom of changes is to be seen and the contentment and happiness of the people is an indication of their belief in the policies that have been pursued.

Here almost at the close of another harvest, when you meet to Interchange ideas and extend congratulations, turn towards our history, study its pages and resolve that in the exercise of your rights, that no mean, sordid motive shall actuate you, but rather broad lines, intelligent considerations shall determine your conclusions. Remember that the time has gone by when any section can be a community to itself, that you are but a part of the greatest commonwealth in the Union: a State whose record a'bounds in achievements and whose history is rich with stories of patriotism; a commonwealth whose people can always be depended upon to answer every call that may be made for the advancement of our country. I am glad to be with you to-day, to participate with you in these pleasant exercises. to felicitate you upon the evidence of your thrift and abundance of your harvest. May good fortune always be yours, and may you always remember that our republic depends for its permanency upon a faithful people, who place devotion to country above selfish aims, and who regard the principals of our government, of greater worth in the advancement of civilization than the accumulation of wealth or the exercise of power.

It Will Pay Bounties on Iron and Steel Exports.

WASHINGTON, Aug. German iron and steel makers have formed a combination with the coal interests of that country and established a system of export bounties. The association is a vast and powerful one, and is based upon an agreement that its members shall contribute to pay such members as export their products, a bonus equal to the difference between the current price of the merchandise in the German markets and the price actually obtained for it abroad. The bonuses are to be paid quarthe system is dated back to the commencement of the present year so as to cover the transactions of the past six months. Consul Mason, at Berlin, in furnishing this information to the State Department, says: "It is evident that with a combination like this at their backs, the iron and steel makers of Germany will continue to be stubborn and enterprising competitors in the markets, not only of Europe, but of South and Central America, Africa, and the East."

SHORT GETS A BOUQUET. Kenilworth Club Made Presentation at Mansfield Post Encampment. The encampment and picnic of Mansfield Post, No. 35, which opened Monday at Grand Street Park, ended last night under most auspicious circumstances. The closing hours saw more people at the grounds than at any time during the days, and the successful termination of two.

affair was pleasing to the veterans. In past years the Post was not favored with such pleasant of weather the as pleasant it had this conditions season, the and attendance because was much larger than at any other encampment. This meant that a good sum of money was realized. Police Captain Martin Short was one of the most active workers for the event and it was natural that his friends should cognize the good he did. The Kenilworth Club, seventy strong, accordingly presented the Captain with a bouquet of flowers last night.

The members of the club assembled at the club house at 7 o'clock and then marched through the principal streets of the Eastern District headed by John Travis, the organizer, and President Fredericks. They finally boarded a trolley car at the foot of Grand street. Bernard Fredericks made the presentation. In doing so he told the Captain that he was very popular with the young men of the Eastern District; just as popular in fact as he was with the veterans. Capt.

Short replied that he was glad that the rising generation was in sympathy with the veterans. Mr. Fredericks' remarks in full were as follows: "Ex-Commander Short, members of Mansfield Post, ladies and gentlemen-The Kenilworth Club has selected me to present to Police Capt. Martin Short, for many years the commander of Mansfield Post, this bouquet of flowers in recognition of the esteem in which he is held by the people of the Eastern District in general and the members of the Kenilworth Club in particular. It is not necessary for me at this time or place to tell you what he did for his country during the dark days of the Civil War, when the nation was divided against itself; when men ragged and hungry gathered around camp fires such as we see on top of that hill tonight.

Many of you are familiar with it, more familiar than the rising generation. You old soldiers marched with him: we men learned it from our school histories. It is for me to say, however, that the young men of the Eastern District know they have a friend in Capt. Martin Short: know that he has proved it many times, and take this simple way of showing that they appreciate his kindness and friendship." James Graham had charge of the Kenllworth Club visit. Dancing was the feature of the closing night and it was continued until the time arrived to depart from park.

The army rations were served to the last minute and those who. feasted enjoyed the meal very much. The enemies of Walter B. Atterbury, particularly those who are members of the Levi P. Morton Club, of the Seventeenth Assembly District, participated in 8 summernight's festival given by that organization at Feltman's Ocean Pavilion, Island, last night.

If Leader Atterbury graced the occasion with his presence he must have arrived at the seaside resort at. a very late hour. The outing was given principally to see how strong were the forces of Alderman John Wirth, who has undertaken the task of wresting the leadership from Mr. Atterbury at the coming primaries. Alderman Wirth is the President of the Morton Club.

There was certainly a large gathering of political lights from the Seventeenth Assembly District at the ocean pavilion, and Alderman Wirth and his friends were ready to give good odds that Mr. Atterbury will be defeated at the primaries. Prominent among the shining political lights were Michael J. Dady, Commissioner of Elections, who headed a delegation of 100 voters from the Third Assembly District; Robert A. Sharkey, of the Sixteenth Assembly District; Assemblyman Gustavus Weber, Assemblyman Jacob Remsen, Alderman William Wentz, Alderman James McInnes, Congressman Harry Hanbury, Adam H.

Leich, Henry Marshall, Judge Gerard B. Van Wart, Ernst Nathan, William Dickinson and A. G. T. Adler.

The pleasure seekers assembled at the seaside during the afternoon hours, although the festivities did not begin in earnest until nearly 9 o'clock at night. Elaborate preparations were made for the affair and nothing went amiss. While the members of the club were willing to say that Mr. Atterbury will not have a leg to stand on after the primaries next month, none of them was willing to be quoted in an Interview on the political situation in the district. The members generally said that Atterbury's friends are deserting him one by one, and going over to the support of Alderman Wirth, but individually they feared to express an opinion.

One man who was listening to the pounding that was being administered to Atterbury said afterwards: "The friends of Alderman Wirth are generating hot air at the rate of 12,000 pounds to the square inch. When the primaries are over they will find that their plpes have gone out and they will awaken from dreams to find that Walter B. Atterbury cannot be vaporized even with hot alr." Besides the discussion of politics, the feature of the affair was dancing, In which both old and, young took part. It was long after the midnight hour when the evening's festivities were brought to a close. The committees of the affair were divided as follows: Reception--The Hon.

A BOOM FOR BELLER.

A Fifteenth Assembly District Democrat Who Has Leadership Aspirations. The Democrats of the Twelfth Election District of the Fifteenth Assembly District are booming Michael Beller for the leadership. Mr. Beller is the standard bearer of a Democratic association in that district, which held its stag a few nights ago and at which it became known that Mr. Beller was after the leadership.

According to those who appear to know he stands; a pretty good chance of getting it, too. A number of speeches were delivered, President Heyman talking at some length on the Philippine situation. It was Mr. Heyman who Introduced Mr. Beller's boom.

He said Mr. Beller was a good Democrat and a friend, characterized him as a second true Devery. Other interesting speeches were delivered. Charles Garzina, a former president of the association, told of its growth and gave some sound advice as to the best way in which to hold the large membership. It was necessary, he said, to keep up interest in the club and the way that could would be to hold stags and entertainments during the warm weather.

The officers of the association are: Harry Heyman, president; Gus vice presldent; Michael Beller, treasurer; Matthew Cohan, corresponding secretary; A. man, recording secretary, and William Sherman, sergeant at arms. NEW BRIDGE APPROACH. Most of the Other Work Finished Here and This Should Now be Considered. Work is being pushed on the new East River Bridge and it now looks as if the structure will be completed before Mayor Low's term expires.

The Brooklyn side is much nearer completion than the Manhattan side. Over here the iron railing is going up very fast, and it now has reached Bedford avenue. Every day a large crowd of men gather and watch the progress of labor. Bedford avenue beneath the structure has repaved and a large force of men are now laying the tracks of the B. R.

T. Company, on Driggs avenue. While the land span was being constructed it was necessary for the cars of the Crosstown line to go through Bedford avenue on their way to go Seventeenth Ward, instead of the usual route. This caused considerable annoyance and confusion. Hundreds of persons had been accustomed to getting a Greenpoint car at Driggs avenue and Broadway, and when the change was made it took them some little time to get accustomed to it.

A large part of the tracks have now been relaid and LIVERY STABLES. Creedmoor Boarding, Stable. and 204 HAVEMEYER Between South Fourth and South Fifth Sta. All horses kept on the ground floor. Coaches, coupes and light wagons to hire at all hours.

The city has yet to acquire a considerable quantity of property for this purpose.

It was said that this would be taken up in the immediate future. Comptroller Grout is anxious to get possession of all of the property on behalf of the city without resorting to condemnation proceedings while some of the property owners are anxious to have the matter of sales taken into court. They are of the opinion that they, would fair better. Mr. Grout is determined, however.

He has announced on several occasions that it would be better for these folks to sell direct to the city at private sale than to go through any other form. It is said that this course will be pursued by a large number who are tired of the delay. ACTRESS ACCUSED OF LARCENY Dessa Stevens Pursued from Providence, R. by Young Man, Who Says She Stole His Rings. Dessa Stevens, formerly of the "Florodora" company, and engaged for a new attraction to be put on the boards this season, was again called before Magistrate Voorhees in the Coney Island Court this morning on a charge of larceny, but the case will be tried probably in Providence, R.

where It is said, the larceny, if any, was committed. Miss Stevens, garbed in black and with thick black veil covering her face, is accused of stealing three diamond rings, valued at $400, from Albert B. Peirce, of Providence, R. I. The young man followed Dessa from that city to New York and thence to Sheepshead Bay, but was unsuccessful in getting back the rings, which, he said, Miss Stevens had stolen from him.
