O'Brien Seeking Patronage In Brookljn Interesting; Statistics from the City Works Report The Coming; Assessorship Vacancies. The illness of Park Commissioner Somers and tho pressing demands of the prlvoto business of eome of the other Commissioners makes it likely that tho Investigating Committee will not reaume sessions until September. This will be a benefit to all concerned, as it will give timo for tho collodion of data, whllo allowing tho little animosities whloh have been stirrod up to subside. Some prominent city officials who are watching the Investigation wilh a good deal of Interest rogret the Blight displays of temper and impatlenco which have characterized It, but do not by any means regard that as a reason for Impugning the motives of the Investigators, ft is urged that a conscientious wish to clear the Park Department of a luxuriant overgrowth of official weeds It at the bottom of the movement ond that no little iudiscretlons, which are mere matters of detail, should operate as obstructions to a vory worthy purposo. It Uncharacteristic of the observations made concerning Colonel Culyer that wherovor he Is criticised he Is also highly praised.

Such observations are Intended to convey the notion that it is possible for a city official to do excellently in tho main and yet overlook some minor matters which being lost sight of may de volop into abuses of an aggravated character. Secrotary Smith, on request of members of the Finance Committee, drove up to the Litchfield House last Saturday afternoon with Colonel Culyer, and took ex Chief Clerk Spear's placo in paying off tho workmen and keepers. The money ho paid out for tho month of July on this account was $11,227.34. Other July accounts are $1,648.82 for bills for supplies, and JS74 16, for salary pay roll. The bills have not yet beon passed upon and the salary account will bo reduced horeafter by $157.50, tho amount previously paid to Mr.

Spear. Mr. Smith said this morning that he had Been onough of tho system which prevailed In the Supplies Department to force him to recommend that alterations should be made. The presont methods oio clumsy and thoro aro liabilities to errors undor them. Ho will deviso an Improved system and submit it to tho Board at the next meeting, which takes place on September 2.

AT IT AGAIN. Belfast Rioters Renew Their Bloody Work. TIerco Fightittg with the Police and Sol tlieri this Morninfr Maur Killed and TYonnded No Mercy Shown. Belfast, August 9 (noon). Rioting was ronowed this moruing and desperate llgbtiug between tho mob and the pollco, tho latter being asaistod by tUo military, baa been going on Binco an early hour.

At this writing tho fighting Is growing fiercer and assuming large proportions. Tho rioters are shown no moroy, the polico firing into their ranks and remorselessly shooting them down as though they wore wild beasts. 8o far this morning thirty porsons have been brought to the hospitals for treatment for gunshot wounds. Thus far tho police reports show that eloven persons have been killed and fully IGO seriously wounded slnco Saturday evening. A majority of the wounded are suffering from gun shot wounds.

A soldier fired at a boy at closo rango and Bhat lored the latter's hand. The soldier was at onco taken Into custody. Twelve hundrod Boldiers to reinforce those already here, arrived to day. Tho city, owing to tho wreck and ruin of houses, presentB a deplorable aspect. Its appearance Is similar to that of Parla after the Commune.

It la reared that numerous deaths resulting from the riots have taken place which will never be heard of. The hospitals aro taxed to tho utmost to accommodate tho great number of wouudod persons In noed of attendance. A painful feature of tho riots li the number of chlldron woundod. YeBlerday a boy was shot while returning from Sunday school. To day a little girj was shot on the streets and it Is thought fatally wouudod.

She was carried away apparently lifeless. Train loads of troops aro constantly arriving. An Incident of the disorders is as follows: Mrs. JSoIIwaine on Saturday harangued a small crowd of neighbors In regard to tho riots and roundly abused the police for firing upon the people. She afterward expressed a fear thRt sho would lose her life or.

account of hor speech. Sho therefore, In order to avoid recognition, put ou black dress on Sunday Instead of tho whlto one sho wore Saturday. This precaution, however, failed to save her. Yesterday during the progress of tho riot sho ran to her door to gather in some straying children. A bullet struck her In the head and sho fell life loss in tho doorway.

The aspect of affair3 has become so threatening today that the authorities ordored all the taverns in the city to be closed until to morrow evening. COMING OUT ALL RIGHT. Secretary Bayard's Opinion of ine Cnt tlnar Catca Baltimore, August 8. Secretary Bayard, Bpeaking to a correspondent last night, of the Cutting easo, said he saw no reason Why a satisfactory adjustment of tho difficulty Should not be rcachol. lie has been assursd that iuch wa tho desire of the Mexican Government.

Senor Homero, tho Mexican Minister here, suid some days ago that his Government would promptly settle the matter. Secretary Bayard seems to think the difficulties in tho way have been creatod not so much by Mexicans an by obliging friends In this country, who, In thoir offorts to embarrass tho Administration, have suggostod to the Mexican authorities methods of opposition which perhaps they would not have thought of. Mexico's attltudo In the mattor, it is claimed has boon groatly strengthened by the offorts of Mr. Blaine's friends to show that Mr. Bayard has aoted with precipitancy, and ho been too exacting with Mexico.

Mr. Bayard himself feels strongly In tho matter, and said with much lmpresslveuess that he considered the principle Involved in tho Cutting affair to be ono of tho gravest Importance, and ono as to which tho Whole country, without reference to party, Bhould be a unit Tho personal merits or demerits of Cutting himself had nothing to do with tho matter. It made no difference whother ho was an angel of darknoss or an angel of light, but It did make the greatest possible difference to tho American people. Bhould Mexico persist in hor presont attitudo, tho question would then arise as to what action Bhould be takon by this country to enforce acquiescence in Its demands. Tho rupture of diplomatic negotiations would naturally follow, but in this connection It may be Btated that the rumored resignation of MinUHer Jackson has no significance.

Secretary Bayard says he has no Intimation of Mr. Jack eon's resignation, although it is quite possible that ho may wish to come home. The other question which has added fuel to tho flames on the Mexican border tho Judicial murder of a Mexican naturalized in this country, who had been illegally extradited by the Texan authorities is In procoss of Bettlemeut and it 1b thought hero that tho murderer will bo hung by the Mexican Government In this case the whole responsibility rests with the Texan authorities, who have been bo belligerent over tho Cutting episode.

We went there and I paid for their swings and dinners. Aftor I had spent noarly all my money on them, they gave me the slip and ran away. I oamo home and did not see any more of them." The officer, parfectly aattiftoi of the truthfulness of Ohlgriffo's statement, did not arrost him, but served him with a subpena to attend tho inquest on Wednesday ovonlng. Sorgoaut Kitzor aftorward interviewed Ohlgrlffe, hut doos not appear to have obtalnod any further Information from him.

Not unloas you aro a magician. 1 suppose you moan a haboa i corpus Yes; that's it" "Tho Clerk informed him that ho could not, and the visitor departed.

Detective Reynolds, of the Tenth Precinct, was nt Police Headquarters this morning accompanied by a stylishly dressed youug man, who appeared to bo ill at ease. Tho young man was Mr.

Ueynohls' prisoner, and according to tho station house blotter his name is John S. Muir, his age 10 and his residence 2 iO Fifth avenuo. Muir came from I 'ivglaud with his parents some yoars ago aud has boon employed in several stores in this city as ti clerk, i.aat Winter he went to Passaic, and found work lu the itoro of J. B.

Ho pleaded guilty to a charge of grand larceny and was held to await tho action of tho Grand Jury.

James K. Sparrow, one of the men most prominently identified with the growth of the Seventeenth Ward, died suddenly last night at his residence, 108 Kent street He for many years bad been troubled with heart disease. Yesterday, however, ne felt exceptionally well and Beveral times remarked he had never felt better In his life. At 0 o'olook he retired to rest. About 11 :80 his grandson, who occupied an adjoining room, heard Mr.

Sparrow groaning and ran to his assistance, but only reached the room In time to see him oxpiro. He was born in the State of Delaware October 20, 1810, and at an early age was compelled to go to work. Meeting with some success, aftor a long struggle with adversity, he moved to New York and engaged in the business of manufacturing casks for whalers. Ho mado onough money in it to enable him to embark iu the oil trade. From that he drifted Into tho boot and shoe Jobbing trade, which aftor a while he left to go into the shipping business.

He soon abandoned that also, having amassed a comfortable competence, and engaged in building enterprises, which he followed until his death. Mr. Sparrow had erected several houses In Now York when, twenty five years ago, the then lit tie Village of Greenpolnt attracted his atteutlon, and he soon looked upon it as a place dostinod to bocome an Important seotion of the City of Brooklyn. He, therefore, decided to make Qroonpoint the scene of his future operations and enterprise, and from that day to the presont his name was prominently identified with Its history. More than fifty ot the finest bulldlngB in the Seventeenth Ward were erected by him during that timo.

Only recently he built row of twonty four substantial brick housos on Greenpolnt avenue. He never employed any other matorlal in his ox tonsive operations than brick or stone. Every building I put up ia of the most edbstautial character," he used frequently to Bay. He was tho first man in Greenpolnt to build on a large scalo, and his onterpriso gave a great Impetus to the growth of that aection of the city. He also engaged In large building lntorprises in tho Thirteenth and othor wards.

Mr. Sparrow some years ago served a term in the Board of Education, and while there he used to boaBt, in his occontrlo manner, to hia associates that he had once met and defoated Deaf Burke, a celebrated prize fighter. He made it a daily practice to vialt the schools in his district, and was in the habit of making frequent addresses to the children. In politics ho wns a strict Democrat of the Jeffdrsonian type. Ills wife died several years.

Ho leaves two sons and one daughter. WELL KNOWN The Cracksmen Who Were Captured in Astoria. Snpposed to Hare Bop.h Concerned in Many Daring: Burglaries Their Arraignment this Morning.

Ivids was callod and testified that he was a member of the firm of Willinm Grace and was Judge Advocate General of tho Slate; he know Maurice B. Flynn had contracts with the city and had signed warrants for him: he first heard of tho letter or resignation on New Year's day, 1SS5, whon ho mot Hubert O. Thompson at tho residence of Mayor Grace, in East Thirly uinth street, New York; Thompson paid thou that he held the control of tho Department of Public Works through Mr.

Squire. "I am as sure of It as though I hold It myself," ho said; and added, Squire's retirement can be had whenever It 1b wanted." The witnesB next met Thompson at the Inauguration of Paosidout Clovoland, and talked wilh him about tho mattor but with no result. In September, the witnoss met Commissioner Squiro in Ilollender's restaurant iu Broadway, Now York. He said: "Well, they ean't get mo out" I nBkod why, and ho told mo that the letlor of resignation had boon destroyed. He said that he had written the letter originally at Flynu's roquoat He said that ho would writo a lot tar to tho Mayor withdrawing all other resignations, and if the Mayor persisted ho would obtain an Injunction and restrain him.

In December, 1885, Thompson called in the witness about 9 o'clock in tho evening and said that ho wawted to talk with me about the Department of Public Works and ho talked until nearly 4 o'clock In tho morning. He wantod D. Lowber Smith made Commissioner. Ha sold that Squire had not acted fairly and had not done as he had promised him. He wanted to know if tho Mayor would appoint Smith.

Ho showed the letter of Decemhor 20, tho witness made a copy of It Tho witnoss asked the history of tho letter, and he sold, "thore by hangs a tale." Thompson said that Squire had writton tho letter at Flynu's dictation, and had dated It December 27. but this date was changed to the 2bth. The letter was handed to Thompson with tho understanding that It wns only to be used If necessary.

Thompson said It con bo used as a threat. At a later meeting Thompson told tho witnoss that ho had told Flynn of tho conversation, and Flynn had paid that ho was willing that the letter should bo used, but asked for some assurance that tho Mayor would appoint a man of his choice to Squires' place. Thompson asked what would be tho effect of tho lotter on him If it was published. Witness said that he thought it would be ruinous. Thompson said that If Squires did not behave himself the lotter would bo used any how.

Ho said Squlros was an iugrate, and he was willing to assumo all the risk, and ropoated the story of how tho let tor was obtained. The witness afterward met Flynn and Flynn told him that they had been concocting a defense which wns that Squire should consult Judge Gildersloevo and should then ask for tho letter on the ground that It was very Incriminating; as a matter of fact, Flynn said that Squire did come to him aud ask for the lotter, and Flynn took a paper from his pocket and threw It in tho fire. Squire complained because Klynn had not Bhown him the loiter before burning, and the latter re pllod: "Well, It's all right, old follow, It's burnod now." Piynu told the witness that the burning was only a ruse. Tho roal lotter of resignation was not burned, but a paper flubstituted in lis place. Klynn at this timo asked tho witness If it would not bo a good time for him to turn State's evldeuco and put Syuiro where ho belonged?

Tho corridor outside tho Grand Jury room was kopt cleared of everybody except witnesses summoned, tho purpose being to prevent tho possibility of any person learning what action is being taken by tho Grand Jury. Assistant District Attorney Fltzgorald was indisposed to spoak of tho probable result of tho investigation.

It is very likely, however, that arrests will be mado within twenty four hours. You may look for developments of an Interesting character after the Grand Jury bring iu tho documents representing tho result of their recent labors," said Mr. Fltzgorald. Whether or not indictments will bo handed In today is still an open question; but if bills against Squire and Flynn are found it is thought that bench warrants will Immodlatoly issue and be caniod into oxocutlon without much delay.

Shortly after this robbery the house at 304 Hart streot was tmr glarlxod and fully $200 worth of property stolon The same boy was again seen by neighbors, and whon reported to the police the latter camo to the conclusion that he was acting as a guard while others committed the robborleB.

WARD'S CLIENTS The Two Convicts Show No Signs of 111 Usage. Dr.

Dr. John Johnson, who wns instructed by tho Commissioners of Charltlos and Corrections to examine John McKcon and Thomas F. MoKoon, tho two prisoners in the Penitentiary who wore recently punished by Warden Green for Insubordination, submitted following report which was handed tho Commissioners by Warden Green today: 153 JORAT.EMON STRKET, BROOKLYN,) August 7, 1880.

John G'rcm, If'urricM I would respectfully report that 1 this day thor oughlj' examined John McKeon at tho Penitentiary. He is sound and healthy in every respect, except that ho Is troubled with a slight spasm of tho epiglottis, tho result of an old Injury received at Slug Slug. There is a slight bronchitis recognizable in tho upper bronchial tubes. I see nothing in his case why ho is not lit (or tho work ho placed at He shows no signs of starvation. Ou the contrary, I am informed he gets the same food as the koupera I also examined Thonian F.

Thero aro no ulcers whatever on his chest There is a red line on tho right breast, whoro thero probably has been an abrasion of the skin, which hns thoroughly healed, llo has a slight brlnt or murmur, showing a rathor feeble heart's action. This is owing to the fact that he is growing very rapidly. The same is often noticed Ingrowing lads, where they grow beyond thoir strength. Whon there is any organic disease of the valves of tho heart it is usunlly tho result of rhumatlam, which Thomns F. Mclvoon Btatos ho has never had.

I saw no indication of starvation in his case. I am also informed that he has tho samo food as his keopors. Thomas F. McKoon's manner to tho warden was insubordinato and offensive in my prosence. He looked aud aoted as though he required more discipline, ns a troublesome characterlike he shows himself to be unless kopt In hand, would soon destroy the discipline of the whole Institution.

After a thorough examination of tho physical condition of both prisoners I would state that there is nothing to Justify tho chargos made by Mr. Irving Ward. 1 am, very rospeclftilly, John g. Johnson. The McKeons aro the prisoners whom Lawyer Ward dematidod permission to see, and then, upon being refuBOU by Wardon aroen, wrote to tho Commissioners concerning tholr physical condition, as was published in Saturday's Kagi.k.

ACCTJSHD OF DBSgBTIRQ 1118 fllFB. James Adams was arraigned before Justice Kesna this morning on complaint of his wife, Lydia, of 74 Rogers avenue, who charged him with aban donment. The accused denied the oharge and was held for Uriah The Warden of the Penitentiary to Besign. President Bay Unwilling to the Announcement of His Contemplated Retirement as Peremptory. Warden John Green, of the Kings County Penitentiary, has announced his intention of resigning from his present official position, the resignation to take effect upon December 1.

It has been either tho good or evil fortune of Warden Green to Incur the porsistent opposition of at leaBt one member of the Board of Charities and Corrections, and although he has been sustained In all his acts for tho better government of the institution over which he presides by the majority of the Commissioners, ho nevertheless flnds It very unpleasant to feel that ho is constantly watched with hostile eyes by even the minority member of the Board. The wardenshlp of the Penitentiary Is by no moans on easy position for a conscientious man to fill under even tho best of circumstances. The duty of providing and properly caring for the community of conviots, many of them tho very worst description of desperadoes in the country, others shrewd and Bkillful conspirators and plotters, and all of them unwilling inmates with tho hopo of escape ever uppermost in the hearts of the "long termers," to keep these men, and women, too, under the necoisary discipline without resorting to extreme measures of punishment except in extreme easos of Insubordination and manage tho numerous other dotails of bo extensive an establishment successfully and economically, is a task sufficient to keep any ordinary man filled with anxiety, even though enjoying the unanimous approval of the official Board, to which he is directly reiponslble. With an unfriendly oritic in the Board, ready to tako advantage of every apparent mistake or look of perfect management, tho cares and trials of the position are naturally Increased, and there 1b reason to believe that Mr. Green, undor the circumstances, has at tlmei found them intolerable.

The fact, too, that he shares with others the apprehension that in the reorganized Charities Board of noxt year there will still be an element antagonistic to him which has determined him to delay no longer in taking a step ho has long contemplated, and it is now his fixed intention to retire permanently from the wardenshlp on December 1. The Charities Commissioners are aware of Mr. Green's Intention of resigning, but they do not appear to have agreed yet upon any particular line of action whon the resignation shall be presented to them. President William II. Ray was asked to day bynn Eagle reporter if any individual had yot been talked of as Warden Green's probable successor.

"No," he replied, "and there is no reason, I hopo, why anyone should be talked of. Warden Green is the right man in the right place and we don't want to loso him." "But hns he not positively announced his determination to resign?" "Y'es; but I am by no moans sure that we can't porsuado him to remain. He would bo a positivo loss to tho department and I hopo thothewill be led to see before Decembor that It Is his duty, as it cor tainly will ho to the advantage of the country, to stay whore he "You do not then think that the change in the composition of the Board of Charities and Corrections next year will eouso Mr. Green to foel that ho Bhould retire?" "Certainly not Mr. Green can remain where he Is Just as long as he wauts.

Ho is giving effective service and so long as lie doos that we shall be anxious to have him romaln. Somo matters of late have caused him to feel unpleasant, but I think when he looks at these thing9 in another light he will reoon sider his determination to TWO LIEUTENANTS IN TROUBLE. Trying Them at the Nary Yard for Misconduct. A court of inquiry was convened this morning at tho Naval Lyceum, in the Navy Y'ard, for tho purposo of examining into the chargos of intoxication and general misconduct proferred against First Lieutenant Berrymau, of the barracks, and First Lle'itenaiit (iuackonbnsb, of the marine guard of th i Juniata.
