It was estimated that the number of visitor* exceeded the attendance at the Columbian Exposition at Chicago on Chicago Day. in 1892. when visitors from all over the world crowded into the exposition grounds. The cionds broke all records of the resort before 6 o'clock. wh«»n every means of transit was being taxed to the limit to accommodate the thousands who still flocked to the pea. ' The amusement resorts were Severn 1 times forced to stop further admissions until those already !n the parks had an opportunity to pass Into Surf •venue, where the congestion of traffic! was "un precedented. Mounted policemen were called upon to form aiJ=!ri« for the elertric cars to pass through, while police lines were established at the entrances Of Dreamland and Luna Hark to lessen the con gestion there. Despite these 'extra precautions the , crowds .In ™.any instances were forced to stand for hours be- 1 flare those alien d could be shunted down side 'streets. On th«» beaches similar conditions prevailed. It was said by the police that mire than on* hundred thousand persons spent Saturday night on the sand In front of the Seaside Park and at Sea Gate. Field' cots. Mankets and rubber bags were pressed Into service a* beds by many of those who had made elaborate preparations to escape the heat of the city for the night, while thousands were content With sleeping on the damp sand or on newspapers. At Brighton Beach crowds spent the night on the, site of the Boer War Exhibition encampment, ftowboats and yachts were also pressed into ser vice by the heat ridden public, who swelled the population of Gravesend and Coney, it was said, to that of the Borough of Ricnmond for the night. . As proof or the orderliness of the crowds Captain Harkins proudly escorted reporters through the station house, where only twelve prisoners were being held on charges of > intoxication. .'*•' At the Coney Island Reception Hospital the number of Injured was fewer than on Thursday, when the rain, forced the closing of all the big resorts. - ■■'■ •' When it became evident that the crowds' would" smash all expectations. Dr. Jones, superintendent of the Kings County Hospital, ordered extra ambu lances and doctors to Coney to be ■ ready for big accidents. Dr. Whiton and Dr. Conrad threw open the tent which has been built for bone tubercular patients, but which is not yet occupied, for cases which were transferred to city hospitals as soon as received. Other elaborate preparations we** made for the reception of a large number of ; in jured. t« fire department also took extra, precautions. Automobiles were barred from the busy part of Surf avenue for several hours until the crowds made it possJUe for the police to handle traffic with safety A number of rescues were also reported to the police. While the crowd was at Its height on Surf avenue a woman, said to be Miss Emma Hawkes, of Flatbush, Brooklyn, became demented-. She wes taken to the Insane asylum. Miss Trlxls Harris, stage woman, of Jones Walk "and Surf avenue, was burned by carbolic acid when she was being revived after beinr rescued from drowning. The carbolic add was given by a bather, who thought the bottle contained alcohol. It was a wide open Sunday. Saloons and restaur ants were permitted to do business all night.' .'At daybreak the hotels in Surf avenue were Jammed. Dreamland and Luna Park were * opened at S o'clock in the morning for the first time since, the places wero built. Ex -Senator Reynolds said the attendance .at Dreamland averaged that of the opening days' of lest year and this year. It was the first rainless Sunday sin<-o Jun«. and the thermometer soared from » to 10*) degrees. A canvass of the breweries that supply Coney's beer showed that an average of one barrel a min ute was being consumed. The frankfurter sale was so great that the supply ran out at 10 o'clock. At the Prank C. Bostock show It was necessary to curtail several acts because of the crush. Ropes were stretched around the animal cages -to r pre vent accidents in case of overcrowding. No acci dents occurred. At Brighton ' Beach Park the crowds were so treat that the Ferrari animal show had great diffi culty in handling them. . ■ . , The police permitted visitors to sleep on the beach last night, and will continue to allow per eons to occupy the park until the weather becomes cooler. . . The Brooklyn Rapid Transit, which carried the Greatest part of the crowd, with the Iron Steam boat Company nad several hundred special em ployes at the terminals. The steamboat piers at Dreamland and at Steeplechase Park were so crowded that the authorities of both places or dered the piers closed until the boats could be loaded. While thousands were trying to get into Luna Perk nther6 swarmed into the "pen which serves as a station for the "thirty minutes to New York trains." The pen was jammed, and no attempts were made to shut the crowds off until the fence was carried away hy the crush of humanltv. : Long lines of visitors stood for hours waiting for an opportunity to ride on the scenic railways. which did the biggest business since the opening of the resorts. At Bay Ridge. Bath Beach and Bensonhurst similar big crowds were reported. The beaches at these places were also filled with bathers and yachtsmen.

The body of an Italian trackwalker who was killed by a subway, train last evening was tossed In the air., rolled along the car roofs', and In fall ing to the track struck and set the automatic safety brake, . stopping the train with a sud denness which sent passengers flying from their seats.

Patrick Pellegrtno, who was killed, was one of a"f?angr of several trackwalkers cleaning up the roadbed about fifty feet south of the south bound platform of the 59th street subway sta tion.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has met serious opposition to Us big railroad car yard in Long Island City. The company has purchased 440 acres of land and purposes to use all of it in the yard. Its plans include the closing of Mlddle burg avenue, a street made historic by its use by British troops during their occupation of Western Long Island, and a number of old farmhouses that wer« used by the officers of British regiments have been torn down. On a knoll at Skillman tvenue stands Public School No. 3. The school is a frame building and occupies land given many years ago by the Payntar family for school purposes. The railroad company bought land all around the schoolhouse. believing that it would be an easy matter to obtain the removal of the building. A short time ago it offered to give the city a new site on Skillman avenue and to grade and beauti fy the new ground* and pay the cost of moving the schoolhoure and establishing it on the new site. The matter was laid before the district schoolboard and they approved of It. The company has struck a snag, however, by the fact that there appears to be no law which will permit the removal of the schoolhouse. It is said that the Board of Education does not possess power to exchange city property for other land, and that besides It IS a question If any department of the city government can come to the rescue of the railroad company. As the rallroa<f company owns all the land nbout the school, nothing can prevent It digging it away and leaving the building high up in the air. with no means for the city to reach it. The school Is to be opened again In September, but It le prob able that before the term has advanced far. the railroad will have dug away the hill, and there will be no way of reaching the building except by balloon or airship, SAYS SHE WAS BARONESS. 1 Woman Accuses Husband of Aban donment .

The young woman is a Jewess. The woman said she was only thirteen years old when the baron kidnapped her, and that two years arro she met Jaeobowitz, who Is also a Jew. and fell in love with him. Afraid of the vengeance of th» baron, the couple planned to have the man come to this country nrst and she followed. , After the marriage had been performed tho man's relative objected because he had married a woman who had given up the faith of her father? to marry a Christian, nnU they prevailed on him to leave her. - * .. - In court the man declared that th* woman was not his legal wife, and that he was thinking areuf bringing a charge of bigamy against her.

LABOR PARTY TO FORM. Platform as -Amended Finally Adopted — Meeting Thursday. } . : The Central Federated Union took action yester day, on the amendments to the platform for th« Independent Labor party, which it has decided to form, and a call will be Issued to-day for a meet ing on Thursday evening at No. 29 Union Square, to organize the party. James Hatch, chairman of the executive com mittee. In his report briefly reviewed the plat form, giving Its features, and then said: We propose to nominate Independent labor candi dates wherever practicable, and Indorse other inde pendent candidates who fully subscribed to the platform in cases where the nomination of candi dates by the labor, party is deemed inadvisable. This means: that the Central Federated Union recommends to the organized workers that they enter the Held of independent politics. The plat form Is Intended to prevent tne dividing of the labor vote by party machines. Hatch said that in order to split the labor vote labor men would probably be offered nominations on the machine tickets, hut that labor men. if true, had the opportunity in the fall campaign to destroy the political rings controlling the state. He said the unions would be called on to send rep resentatives to a series of meetings, to take place at once in the Assembly districts for organization purposes. The amendments of President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor were modifications of the anti-prison labor and anti-injunction laws, and were carried. An amendment by Delegate Kaufman providing that the new party could not accept nominations for its candidates from any of the old parties provoked a leng discussion. Dele gate Abrahams, of the Franklin Association of Press Feeders, said: The Independence League Is running after every political party, and will be running after yours. They tell us that Hearst is all right, but his friends say that he Is Belmont's man. and then they pro ceed to knock Belmont on the head. I'll stick by the Socialist party. Some of the delegates talked of possible dishon esty if they mixed with the old parties, and Dele gate Stanton. a Knight of I-ibor. warned the dele gates, but suggested nothing In particular. He said that he was a socialist, although he took part In the Henry George campaign. "Do you vote from Manhattan?" demanded Frank McArdle, of the Foundry Helpers" Union, of Stanton. Before Stanton could reply, another delegate asked him If it were not true . that his name was enrolled on the records at Greenpolnt as a Demo crat. Stanton angrily referred the questioner to the Greenpoint records. The delegate of the Wool Pullers' Union said: I would like to know how you could prevent the other parties from Indorsing the candidates of the new Independent Labor 'party? You might as well tell the people that we do not want their votes. •We have to go cayjtiouwy at flrst. A call for the previous question was responded to by the chairman, and the amendment wns rejected. The entire 'platform, with the Gompers amend ments, was then carried as a whole. Delegate Hatch referred to the hints that the old party methods might Influence the Independent Labor ;arty, and that temptations might be held dut against which the honesty of some of the labor men might not be proof. He advised all persons who had doubtp on the subject to attend the meetings of the new party. It was then de cided to ask the Brooklyn Central Labor Union and al! t.e labor bodies tn New York City to co operate in the movement. GTTNDAR THE GENTLE TOSSES KEEPER. Tn. k Elephant Grow?

Morrissey was taken home with a fractured ankle, and, It is feared, is internally In jured. Gundar has been ill for several days, and was kept In his pen. Y*«erday it was thought an outing might brace him up, and Morrlssey took him out. Gundar had hardly been out half an hour when he became irritable.

We should sink the smaller annoyances In 'the greater things; we should remember that the events which seem overwhelming now will be forgotten in a decade. Through it all we must show our love for our fellow men. We are free in this country. We can study the Bible, live in truth and accomplish great ends by oar freedom. Over in Europe they do not have the advantages we have. i I was ; surprised to find such few Sunday schools on the Continent. You know I take a great interest In Sunday schools. I think they are great Institutions. Our country Is much bet ter for its Sunday schools. After I have seen what they have, what Sunday schools there are across the water, I have decided that this Is a country of .Sunday schools.

Bishop Coadjutor Oreer preached yesterday morn ing at the seventh Joint 'summer service of St. Thomas's and St. Bartholomew's churchs. which wan held at St. Thomas'?. He took his text from Revelation I. 11 "And he had in his right hand seven stars." which he explained by saying that in the Bible the number seven is used its a symbol of com pleteness. He said, in part: Thero exists to-day a widespread and growing social and economic discontent. The mere vast ness of commercial development does not imply an as surance of health. Never before was there such great development of commercial achievement and prosperity, and yet there Is with it all a deep, low. rumbling, muttering discontent, even a threatening malcontent, which the present methods of economic procedure do not heal. In fact these methods prove to be only patchwork, for Instead of healing and mending perfectly, the sore soon breaks out again. And It becomes apparent that something more is needed. som<» larger environment, some way at looking at the world as something mor» than an amplitudinous grab bag, in which some people are lucky enough to draw out prizes, while the rest must go without. There Is need for th» perception of the continuousness of moral and spiritual life, something greater than all the splen dors of earth. It Is In Jesus Christ and His teachings that this need Is satisfied His teachings give a larger and better perspective of life. Jesus Christ Is the most practical of the world's reformers and redeemers. The world cannot be reformed and redeemed with out Him. and neither can you or I. SAYS MONEY COUNTS TOO MUCH Dr. Coyle Declares Laws and Courts Put Property Ahead of Men. The Rev. Dr. Robert F. Coyle. pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church, in Denver. Is preach ing a series of midsummer sermons in St. John's Methodist Episcopal Church. Brooklyn. Yesterday his subject was "I Am for Men." Briefly. Dr. Coyle contended that the law. the land, the Church, everybody and everything should stand for the men and women of the world, for humanity as against corporations or combinations of any form. He said America suffered from overemphasis on the property right and less on the man right. He continued: The overemphasis of property leads to social strife, to class antagonisms; It arrays man against man. and converts the Industrial world tnto a war fare as real as any ever displayed on fields of battle. Have we not read about those agents of the Standard Oil Company who were sent out through the country to close up the small dealers. to crowd them out of business and crush them as remorsely as ever Juggernaut crushed Its victims beneath its mighty wheels? And the Standard Oil Company has been no greater sinner In this respect than other great trusts and combinations. Our courts, our Judges and our whole machinery of law are for property a good deal more than they are for persons, for the money side of things a good deal more than for the manhood side >f things. One hates to say it. but we must be true to what we see and know, that corporations count for more with those whose business It is to make and administer the laws than human souls. Man is outweighed by dollars; people are outweighed by possessions. To protect property no stone Is left unturned, the ablest counsel is secured, every point is guarded and fought for with the utmost care and earnestness, but who dares to affirm that this Is so when it comes to a question of protecting persons?

The streets of Staten Island were again dark last night. Apparently no attempt was made by the lighting company to furnish light, and the only power generated was that used to operate the trol ley cars, which was as poor and uncertain as it has been for a long time. There was at first some power on the commercial circuit, tint It was so poor that In houses where electric- tights are ordinarily used the occupants had to use gas, where it was obtainable, or candies and lamps where there was no gas. Fortunately the night was clear and the moon was shining, so that the streets were safe. At 10:45 o'clock last night the commercial circuits were turned off, and were still out at midnight. At Midland and South beaches the lights along the boardwalks and In the resorts were burning dimly. Most of the resorts had gas burning, and also such lanterns as they could find. There was one notable exception to the lack of illumination. That was the resort called Happyland. It is sup posed to have some two thousand six hundred lights. Every one of them was burning brilliantly. It has been charged that the electric company, when it made an ironclad contract to light Happy land, overloaded its plant. It is* said that the lights there must be kept going under any consideration. At 11 o'clock last nirht the Staten Island Rapid Transit concentrated its entire available force on the line to South Beach, and trains pulled out of the South Beach terminal at about eight-minute in tervals. An emergency schedule was put In force, and the trains pulled out as fast as loaded. Most of them made the trip straight through to St. George without stop. Pickpockets were active in the crowds during the evening, and many losses were reported to the police. The heaviest was made known by Otto Muller. of No. 32 Jersey street. New Brighton, who lost $373 in cash and Sl9 in checks. Two arrests were made earlier in evening. More than 100.000 peopl* visited the beaches during the day. Extra police details were assigned to the trolley and train terminals at the beaches and to the ferry, train and trolley terminal at St. George. It is understood that the electric company is taking advantage of the full moon to overhaul some of the engines and generators at the Living ston plant. This is r.ot admitted officially, but It is known that mechanics are working day and night there. One of the officials of the company said last night that he did not think there would be much improvement tn tne conditions unitl the close of the beaches in the fall! Hundreds of persons boarded the municipal fer ryboats last night and rode up and down the Bay without letving the bouts. There were so many of these people riding back and forth that five col lectors were detailed at each end of the route to collect from those who remained on beard at each landing. When the hour arrived last night for putting into force the half-hour schedule, there were just as many people riding as there were at midday. As a result. Acting Superintendent Law rence Hanlon kept the boats running, and said he probably would not discontinue th* fifteen-minute trips until 2 a. in. to-day. At 10:30 last night as many people appeared to be arriving at St. George from Manhattan as were returning. The trains for the beaches went out loaded. Many of those going to the beaches carried bundles, which indi cated that they intended to spend the rest of the night on the sand. At 9 o'clock last night the re sorts at Midland and South beaches had sold out everythinr in the line of beer and soft drinks. MARINE INTELLIGENCE. MINIATURE ALMANAC. Sunrise 5:00; Sunset 7:11!
