preacher that DIR. Bradley stood out among
his Acknowledgment, though his sermons
were always able. His peculiar strength lay
in handling a parish, in forming out of
practically nothing or out of scattered ele-
ments and Interests great and powerful con-
gregations. In the raising of funds for
church purposes he had few EQUALS among
the clergy and it was that faculty that
Trinity parish recognized in the man when
it called him six years ago to weld into one
great society the TAR upper West Side terri
tory--its newest field.
How effectively DIR. Bradley performed
this task ST. Agnes's Chapel and its adj
Joining buildings bear testimony. There are
few churches in all New York that have
the prosperity of St. Agness. Though not
a congregation OF the rlcn. without the
it is yet worth in church property $1,O00000
and 1.400 members are on its books The
pile of buildings on its site on Ninety-sec-
ond street near Columbus avenue extend
ing through to Ninety-tirst street, is digni-
fed and impressive, and the social life and
range of charities Of the parish are famed.
Before coming to ST. Agnes's. DR.. Brad
ley had made reputation in other cities.
Over thirty years ago-though this is prob
ably remembered by few-he was an assist
ant at Calvary Church, this city. 1t was in
the West that he gained his first promi-
nence. In Indianapolis he built up Christ
Church into a most flourishing ecclesiastical
foundation. There he stayed for years, only
leaving the parish when St Luke's, in Gin
ton avenue BrooKyn e Tae M him IN 1 bSd
been it's rector and after he left 1t, having
been called to Harlem in 1887. the congre-
cation dwndled When in the fall of 1888 DR..
Bradley took charge. he found an edifce
backened by a recent fire and all but I'M
tenantable Undaunted, he patched the
building up, filling in the gaps in the side
walls with plain boards, and began holding
services. The congregation then could boast
of hardly one man more than fairly well
to do.
ITO cap the climax, the three wealthiest
MEMBERS one after the other, moved out
of the city The patched-up church showed
signs of tumbling down over the congrega-
tons heads. We must repair again cried
the vestrymen at a meeting, though how
we can raise the funds RepairI shouted
DIR. Bradley, springfng to his feet. Repair!
You told me we could never worship in the
old church as it was WE'LL we have, just
by boarding it up. You tell me that 1 can
not build new one, but I will.
s'Three years from then the new church
was finished, how no ore ever knew. DR..
Bradley had managed it somehow. He had
raised thousands where no one thought they
could be gathered. Personally, he superin-
tended every detail of the construction, so
cleverly that he is said to have actually
saved over 5000. All this time he build
ing up his congregation as WELL st. Luke's
has now 1,250 members and stands third in
the list of Protestant Episcopal churches of
Brooklyn. 1t was his achievement that
caused Trinity parish to call him to build
up St. Agnes's Chapel.

Department Heads VIII Meet Tonight
to Consider Them.

to Consider Them.
The heads of the departments of the city
government will hold conference with
Mayor Taggart tonight at 7:30 o'clock to
talk over the estimates which have been
handed to the city controller of the expenses
for next year. The Board of Public Works.
in making up the estimate for its depart
ment, has made no provision for the pur-
chase of the water works. City Controller
Johnson said yesterday that this seeming
deficiency is in reality none at all. If the
city buys the water works the 100000 cash
which will be required as first payment
may be raised by loan and the increase
in the hydrant rentals may be paid without
embarrassment to the city treasury, Mr.
johnson says. Anything will be done to
stave off the political effect of raising the
tax levy. The Board of Public Safety has
made no provision in it's estimate for the
increase in pay to the fire and police forces
If the Little ordinance is passed by the
is considerable doubt of the proposed ordi-
nance going through. 1t would be another
factor in the force which might cause an
increased tax levy. 1t appears that the
clique of councilmen anxious to put the ad-
minfstration in a bad light are slowly
'knuckling down" The Board of Safety's
estimate does provide for sufficient in
crease to cover the $11, 600 deficiency in the
appropriation for firemens salaries and the
$4,000 deficiency in the appropriation for po-
licemen's salaries. Because of this deficiency
in the fire department salary appropriation
the f1remen are struggling along under a
One-SeVenth salary cut

KICKED WHILE DOWN.
w. F. Hatton Brutality Treated by n
Policeman.

w. F. Hatton, whom the police claim
answers the description given of the man
who attempted to cash check at Murphy,
Hibben & Co.'S yesterday, was arrested last
night by Patrolman Lancaster and charged
with lettering He was found in an East
Washington-street restaurant, where he or
dered food which he was unable to pay for.
Several checks were found on him, all of
them signed by the name which he gave to
the turnkey He resembles a farmer in ap-
pearance He claims small town in Shell
by county as his home.
When arrested he made an excuse for go
ing to an upper room, and while coming
down jumped half the length of the stair
way and started to run. He was caught by
a man standing a short distance away and
turned over to Lancaster Again he tugged
and was struck squarely in the face by the
officer falling to the ground. Several wit
nesses claim that the policeman then kicked
him. and Lancaster did not deny it. Other
witnesses said that the actions of the Off
Ger We're justified. The fellow was slapped
several times in the face while both hands
were pinioned behind him in the officers
grasp and his face was badly bruised and
swollen. Several of the witnesses threat
ened to make trouble for the patrolman.

VETERAN OF TWO WARS.
Got No Pension from England, but
Uncle Sam Pays Well.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MUNCID, Ind, Aug. 29.-The little town
of Mooreland. south of here, has a citizen
who has an interesting history. His name
is Patrick Conner, and he took part in two
of the bloodiest wars of the worlds his
tory-the Crimean and the civil wars. He
born in Ireland in 1926 His early oc-
cupation, that of a shepherd, not being re-
munerative enough, he enlisted in the En-
glish army at twenty-four. He remembers
when, in 1858, Car Nicholas, of Russia be-
lieving that Turkey was on the verge Of
dissolution, proposed to England to divide
the kingdom. England refused AMI
FASTENED into an alliance with France, Tur-
key and Sardinia, and in March, 1854, the
allies declared war against Russia. Then
came his last farewell to his old home and
country. He remembers the journey
through the Mediterranean sea- the allied
fleets side by SIDE the arrival al CONSTANT
nople and the entrance into the Black sea.
Then came the terrible campaign which is
were landed near the mouth of the River
Alma, and the Russians were met and de-
f f The allies then advanced upon
the shore Sebastopol was defended by the
Russians under General Todleben, and he
held out for 349 days. The allies lay in the
trenches during all this time, and, as the
winter was an Intensely cold one great suf-
fering ensued. AS the soldiers lay on the
the snow would cover them over. On Oct.
20, 1854 the battle of Balaklava was fought
and in the midst of this world-famous con-
fiict Mr.. Conner did great service. He was
in the famous Thirty-ninth Regiment,
which closed in after the Light Brigade
He saw the charge of the gallant six hun
dred." He saw then; charge down the mar
row pass between the murderous Russian
guns; saw the lines waver and men moved
down; saw the only survivors es-
cape back to friendly lines leav-
ing the ground literally covered with the
dead. Mr.. Conner remained in front of
Sebastopol until after tae battle of Inker-
man was fought the Russians defeated and
peace declared He had heard much of
America, and, without returning to his old
home, he shipped for Canada, and finally
made his way to Ohio. When the civil war
began his old military spirit came to the
front and he enlisted in the Sxty-sixth
Ohio. At Resaca, Ca, while on the skir-
n1ish line, a shell exploded near him and
he was rendered senseless. Conclusion of
the brain resulted, and from the effects of
a fever which followed he has been made
almost blind He married in 1873 to
Rachel Jones, of Muncie. and has family
of five children, one of them Dennis, be-
ing at present in Porto Rico in General
Swans division: For his service in the Grim
can war Mr.; Conner receives not a penny
of pension from England. but from Uncle
Samuel he gets $50 per month In Moore
land he is considered good citizen.

BRAZIL. Ind, Aug. 29.-The afternoon
session of the Populist congressional con-
vention was very stormy, and Samuel Ha-
MIL the Democratic candidate was NOM
mated by majority vote. A large num-
Der of the middle-roaders bolted the con-
vention and called another meeting. at
which they selected j. H. Allen, of Terre
Haute, district chairman and L. l.. John
son, of this county. secretary. Stirring
speeches were made denouncing the action
of the fusion Populists. and call was made
for a convention of true Populists for the
18th of next month to nominate a candi-
date for Congress.
1t was evident from the outset that the
convention was controlled by supporters of
the Democratic party and this caused i'll
feeling among the middle-roaders, who
showed their displeasure in vigorous Ian
guage, denouncing the manner in which the
convention was conducted. g. c. Daggey, of
Greencastle, who made speeches for the
Democrats during the last campaign, was
Endorsed for temporary chairman by the
Democratic cohorts and F. j. S. Robertson,
of this county, by the Populists. Time and
again DR.. A. T. Keightely, of Greencastle,
F. ]. Robertson. of this county, and ]. w.
Sherlay, of Terre Haute insisted upon
Daggey making a public statement as to
his political position, but he kept quiet
while his right-hand man, L. d. Snyder,
vigorously insisted that he canvassed Put
nam county with Daggey in the interest of
the Populist party. DR.. Keightely replied
by saying he had been informed by prom
inent citizen of Greencastle that Snyder
had voted with the Democrats in selecting
a county ticket. In the end, however, the
Democrats won out and Daggey was placed
In the chair and named the different COM
mittees, which he had previously prepared

furnished him by the Democratic district
chairman. Chairman J.. L. johnson, of this
