LECTURE IN HISTORICAL HALL. The Pastor of Plymouth's Opposition to the Ideas Advanced by Garrison and His School With Him Abolition Would Have Been a Gradual Process. A Prophet, a Reformer and a Statesman. The constant inspiration which Henry Ward Beecher's work affords even yet to the people who knew Vilcn either race to face or through his sermons, was evidenced once again last night in Historical Hall, where an interested audience followed with close attention Dr. Lj'man Abbott's able address dealing wit'j Beecher as the representative of the anti slavery pulpit.

The address was under the auspices of the Long Island Historical Society and the Brooklyn Institute. Among those seated on the stage were ex Mayor Scviieren, ex Mayor Schroeder, ex Mayor Boc dy, Dr. P. W. Ray, James Hamblet, Mrs.

John Kendall Dunn, S. V. White, the Rev. Dr. McCcnnell, Professor Franklin W.

Hooper, R. R. Bowker, James S. Kemp, Thomas G. Shearman, and Samuel Scottron, the negro member of the Board of Education.

Mr. Schieren introduced Dr. Abbott in the briefest terms and he plunged at once Into the body of his ad dress. Dr. Abbott declared in opening that Henry Ward Beecher was a true, representative of the anti slavery pulpit and that was why 'je exercised such powere.

He spoke for an ever increasing church party. Dr. Abbott then traced the growth of slavery In America and the rise of the anti slavery sentiment. It wa 3 difficult, he to credit the 'fact that slavery still existed in New York until 1S27, and that there are istlll men living ho remember when slavery was recognized by law. The speaker pointed out the fact cha't slavery grew first in all parts ol the country and that among the earliest anti slavery supporters were to be found many Southern men.

Slavery, he continued, waia inimical to free institutions and prosperity. The South grew up a semi feudal country unprcsperous and eventually growing jealcua of the greater wealth of the Ncrth. The speaker traced the gradual widening of 'the breach between the two sections and the arguments of the adherents of slavery for its preservation. He accused the South of willfully shutting ks eyes to the arguments against slavery. The prejudice which gradually arose against the negro In the North was upon by the speaker next, and a growth hitherto foreign; but which became violent about 1833, when William Lloyd Garrison's work be gan.

"If Henry Ward Beecher," said Dr. Abbott, "was a type of the anti slavery agitator in the pulpit, William Lloyd Garrison was a perfect type of the Northern abolitionist." Garrl cii, continued the speaker, was a firm believer In Immediateism. He believed slave holding a sin, the slave holder a sinner, and he scorned every plan of compromise. The whole thing, he said, should be eradicated, root and branch. He held the Northern states responsible for slavery because they maintained relations with the slave holding states.

He demanded the secession of the North for this reason. He scored Frederick Douglass as an apoEtate when he withdrew from the abolitionists to join in political action with the liberal party. Dr. Abbott went fully into Garrison's theories and recalled 'the attitude of the liberals at the same time. He referred to the attempts of the abolitionists to incite violence among the negroes of the South by their spread of tracts and inflammatory literature.

In support "of his statements Dr. Abbott read frbin the jjlatform of the abolition party. The speaker declared those principles false in his opinion and as he believed in Mr. Beecher's. The North was responsible for slavery as well as the South.

It shared in the great burden and disgrace. It had no right to break the partnership but its plain duty was to stay In the Union and work for the aboli tion of slavery. Had Gurnaon and Phillips prevailed slavery would have returned again "to New York and Indiana and other Northern states. New England would have seceded and alone. Dr.

Abbost denied equally the truth or the abolitionists' taunt that the constitution was a covenant with hell. It was inherent with power to gradually eradicate slavery. Nor was the slaveholder a man stealer. Many a slaveholder writhed under the burden of slavery. The men of the South had no right Individually to emancipate their slaves.

There was grave doubt if the individual states had such power. The truth was a great national wrong which could not be righted by a single legislative act. Reforming a great social wrong was never an easy matter. It required much consideration, delicacy, caution and time. "I believe said the speaker, "and the anti slavery pulpit of 1S50 believed it, too.

And both of us were right, and I believe that the abolitionists were gravely wrong. The church has teen accused of being pro slavery. Here and there was to be found a pro slavery minister. There were men who were conservative." who believed neither existing state. There were ministers perplexed.

But on the whole there was no pulpit sentiment for slavery. There were men, as there are now, who did not know that Christianity had to do with social problems. Some men were silent or cried 'peace' when there was no peace, because they wished to avert division in their flocks. Group all these and there were many who did not 3peak as they should have done, not pro slavery men, but unfortunately not active and united against it. This anti slavery pulpit was not abolitionist in sentiment, Dr.

Abbott declared. Continuing, ho declared that no man in the pulpit exercised a wider influence that Beecher. But he didn't stand alone. Four stood side by side, Dr. Leonard Bacon the war horse of Congregationalism; Joseph P.

Thompson, the able editor; Dr. Richard S. Storrs, and, chief of all, Beecher." The speaker said he had undertaken to speak for Beecher and he reiterated his statement that Beecher was vitally opposed to Garrison's abolition theories. In proof Dr. Abbott read from one of Beecher's sermons as he had done from one of Mrs.

Stowe's letters to Fred Douglass to show that she did not believe the church was for slavery. But Beecher, Dr. Abbott declared, never turned aside from the fundamental issue to wrangle with men seeking the same result, the enfranchisement of the negro. He sought the uncompromising end of slavery, but by means constitutional. He met the Issues as they arose.

He believed in the preservation of the Union, the continuity of the constitution and all the time the final abolition of slavery. He demanded that slavery be no more extended. He believed In teaching slave owners the burdens of slavery and Its restrictions and disgrace. But he believed In lncltng no slave meeting, no red revolution. He believed In fighting out the battle In the Union and under the constitution.

"I do honor to the memory of the abolitionists," said Dr. Abbott. "Perhaps I am a little lato about It but I do honor to their memory. They fought with courage for their principles and even gave their lives. They fought a noble battle against slavery, both In the North and South, but It was not by their methods that slavery was abolished.

RUSHING WORK ON THE ROADS. Figures of the Revised Equalization of Assessments Engineer McLaughlin Instructed to Employ Extra Help and Finish Up the County Roads Before January I Borrowing Money to Fay the Interest on Road Bonds.

(Special to the Eagle.) Long Island City, L. December 10 The Board of Supervisors of Queens County, at a meeting held yesterday, upon the receipt of the belated assessment roll of Long Island City, made all the necessary changes in the table of equalized assessments of 'the several towns and the following corrected figures will give a comparison between the totals of assessed valuations as returned by the local assessors and as equalized by the board for the purposes of county and state taxation: Assessments as Assessments as returned by equalized by town asses Board of sors. Knnrvinr. wiowa $13,871,670 Hempstead 10,638,273 Jamaica Flushing 1 42S Oyster Bay 14, 163, 333 Long Island Otty 4U.001.71S North Hempstea'd 4,788,775 $15,067,500 11,465, MrS 12. 367, 425 10.210.7J3 40,001,716 5,775.062 Total for Queers $110, 476.277 J110.476.277 It is upon the basis of the equalized valuation of the several towns that the county debt will probably be divided when New York assumes that proportion that belongs to the towns within the borough.

A resolution was passed directing John J. McLaughlin, county engineer, to employ the necessary number of teams, implements and men and purchase the necessary material to complete before January 1, 189S, all of the work on those county reads where the jobs have not been completed at the agreed time and where the work 13 not being pushed as the situation and the state of the weather permit. It was directed that the expense of. such employment be charged against the balance due on these contracts. Several of the most Important new roads in the county which were to have been completed In November are still unfinished.

All of these, the county engineer states, could be completed In ten days: The county holds back the final payment of 20 per cent, on these roads until they are accepted by the engineer and the Board of Supervisors, and the expenses incurred by the county engineer in carrying out the terms of the resolution above named will be taken from this fund. The contest over the method of division of the Interest on the county road bonds between the different towns were renewed again yesterday, but the resolution as passed apportioning the amount of said bojjds between the several towns on the basis of the amount expended In each, finally prevailed. Under this plan Long Island City will have nothing to pay on this account as it has no county roads. It is said that a legal controversy Is likely to arise as to the application of the Greater New York charter in relation to the matter. That instrument provides that the county debt on January 1 shall be divided between the towns in the borough and outside the borough on tho ba sis of assessed valuation.

The interest on these bonds, none of which becomes due until after January 1, may be properly considered as a part of the county debt. As such it is held by good legal authority that It will be divided between the City of New York and that portion of Queens County outside the borough on the basis of the ratio of the assessed valuation of that portion of the county within the limits of the Borough of Queens to that portion without the borough. It is thought probable that the counsel of the board will advise to that effect. In order to provide a fund for the payment of interest on bonds due In January before the town collectors can make their returns County Treasurer Charles J. Phipps was authorized to borrow $37,500 on the credit ot the county for thirty days, the same to be apportioned as follows: $7,000 for payment of interest on Newtown and North Hempstead road bonds; $8,500 for interest on Flushing and Little Neck; $3,000 on Jamaica to Queens; $14,000 on Bayside and $5,000 for Old Bond.

John N. Williamson, president of the Jamaica Light Company, was granted a franchise for fifty years to construct on any of the county roads In the South Hempstead lighting district all the necessary electric light poles, wires and conductors. This district comprises eight to ten square miles in the southwestern portion of the town of Hempstead extending from villages of Lynbrook to Lawrence, and extending from 1,000 feet north of the railroad track to the bay. The district Is to be lighted with 150 arc lights of 1,200 candle power each at $120 per year each, and 150 naphtha street lights. The board resolved to fix tho tax, rate in the several towns on Monday next.

It The FJatbusli Church, of the Disciples Dissolved TO GET RID OF T.

DE Q. TULLY. He and Brother Bull Pulled Together in the Law Enforcement Society, but When It Came to Running a Church They Clashed Services to Be Held in Mr. Bull's Barn Dedication Next Wednesday. After an existence of a little more aan two the Fiatbush Churc'j of the Disciples has been formally dUsolved.

This announce' ment uiil doubtless be received with surprise by these who remember with what zeal the little band of worshipers began and the opposition they met with when rhey mado known their intention to build a modest llt tio church in a restricted neighborhood in Flacbush. It appears now that the ardor of the brethren cooled as suon as the opposition ceased and two factions were formed in the little society, which is said to be responsible for the dissolution. The stronger faction decided on a novel plan to separate from the minority. When the church was started Edward Bull of 24S Ease Nineteenth street was one of the foremost workers and was the first to attach his name to the membership roll. Mr.

Bull was also elected an elder and a trustee and he represents the majority. T. De Quincy Tully was also among the first to sign the roll book. He likewise was selected ais an elder and a trustee and he represents tho minority. Both Mr.

Bull and Mr. Tuliy had worked together in the Law Enforcement Society and without slightest Jar. In the church, however, matters were quite ditTerenu Mr. Buil had his own peculiar ideas as to how the church should be run, and Mr. Tully took a different view of things.

They were, the re fere, unable to wcrk in harmony and the result was a meeting was held and the necessary steps taken to jr mally dissolve the church society. Mr. Bull frankly admits that the object was to set Mr. Tully'3 name off tho church bocks and that there was but one way that he knew of to accomplish this without any trouble, which was to disband the organization. Mr.

Bul'i was seen by a reporter this morning and. when asked if the church was to be reorganized. "No," he replied, "I can safely say that there will be no for if we did. that might give some of tht; old officers a claim on the new society. We, and I speak for the majority who signed the church roll, will again organize, but not for the present.

Services will be held regularly, however, and the good work will continue as though we were formally organized. My barn in the rear of my home at 2 tS Bast Nineteenth street, Flat bush, has been transformed into a meeting place. Windows have been cut in the the walls have been decrrated, gas fixtures placed in position and all chis wcrk has been done gratuitously. Those who opp the building of the church two months ago arts now counted among our best friends. They have effered assistance in many way.

On Wednesday evening next the b.rn wl'll be dedicated to the work nnd thereafter known as the Fiatbush Tho Rev. F. W. Troy, pastor of the Sterling Place Church, has promised to be present and conduct the services on that occasion. The Christian Endeavor Society is still in existence and that is all the organization that we require for the present.

Services will be held regularly on Sundays anil certain evenings each week." Mr. Bull was questioned as to what was the cause of the difference between himself and Mr. Tully, but he was reluctant to speak of that. "Merely say," bereplied, "that the society was disbanded to get rid of an element that was not wanted, that is all." Asked if Mr. Tully was considered as one of the element that was not wanted Mr.

Bull said that he was. "Mr. Tully often proved annoying to me," he continued. "I remonstrated and told him tbat of all men for whom he should make trouble I should be the last, as we had always worked together harmoniously In the Law Enforcement Society. Finally, it became necessary for me to Inform Mr.

Tully that I should have to take some action against him. There were four or five who sided with him but they were not the real active workers of the FIRST FLATBUSH ASSEMBLY. The first of the series of three assemblies In which Fiatbush young society fcik participate was held in the house of the Knickerbocker Field Club last night, and was the occasion for a brilliant assemblage.

A Vision of God and of Self as Seen in Isaiah.

Last night at the Young Men's Christian Association, 502 Fulton street, the Rev. John Humpstone, D. continued the series of lectures which he is delivering, on "Devo clonal Men and Themes of the Bible." His topic was, "A Vision of God and of Self," and he 'took as the basis of his remarks Isaiah vl. Dr. Humpstone began by reating the Imme diate circumstances cut of which the vision of Isaiah grew.

Continuing, he said: "The vluion is of Gcd, as holy. Isaiah saw the way In which God was wors hiped in heaven, in contract with man's way of worshiping on earth. The holiness of God is separation from ato; in the perfect fullness ot His nature He Is holy. The real Idea that lies in His holiness, with relation to sin, is th'it He cannot allow man to persist In sin without attending judgment. He is a God of mercy, but when sin Is persisted in, then He Is a God of Judgment.

"The first effect of the vision en Isaiah was to make him feel how sinful and helpless he was; then It proceeds to be a vision salvation as sacrificial. Sacrifice is nothing until it is, as It wero, actually applied, and made vital and living In man himself. Finally this vision is a vision of service. God asks who shall be sent as a messenger to warn the people of the coming Judgment. Isaiah, at first, does not feel capable of acting as God's messenger, but in the end, the effect of the sacrifllcial blessing relnapires his he is ready to go, and offers himself at once.

What God wanns Is human messengers. If angels could minister to men, I believe God would send them, but they can't; it is man to man." HVE HUNDRED AT EUCHRE. All Records Broken by Women Players in the Old Twenty third Regiment Armory. Brooklyn has long been noted for its progressive euchre tendencies, but yesterday the city outdid itself. At the old Twenty third Regiment Armory on Clermont avenue something like Ave hundred women sat down to compete for half a hundred handsome prizes.

There had been arrangements for about six hundred, but the extra tickets were evidently bought by men. Three or four of these unfortunate beings arrived at the Armory with a worried expressioh, cast one look at the throng of women and fled. The women simply reigned supreme, and it must be said that considering the numbers in that gathering of players, the order preserved and the manner in which commands were obeyed was little short of marvelous. It was arranged that the game was to be called at 2 o'clock sharp and this arrangement was lived up to. The prizes, to the number of forty nine, wero displayed in one of the company rooms before the game began.

There were two handsome chairs, a box of silver spoons, a very dainty and costly fern dish, presented by the employes of the Armory; a photographic camera, one or two boxes for theaters, vases in plenty, hand painted cushions and a host of articles for woman's adornment. Spread out in an attractive way, the prizes were an incentive to the best playing. The size of the gathering of players was only realized when the women had at last found their places and were waiting at the various tables for the game to be called. The noise of the talking, subdued by the individuals, was like the buzz of a gigantic saw mill, and when there was a little excitement now and then the noise was deafening. The players had evidently been trained in charity euchres, however, for when a bell suddenly sounded above the din a silence that was almost instantly felt ensued and only the faint swish of the cards, shuffled and dealt, could be heard.

A few minutes passed and another bell rang and on the instant Babel began again. The one man in evidence was Howard Star ret, who took charge of the tally cards and managed the games. He conducted his part of the game in an admirably systematic manner, but startled the women when he rose In all his might and shoutd: The ladles must keep their seats until they are punched or they won't be punched at all." Consternation ensued until the young man explained that he meant the cards were to be punched and not the players. From 2 o'clock until 5 the hundreds of women played, and when the game was on every one was in it for business and no talking was allowed. Standing in an elevated position, the spectator who did not play could enjoy an unusually pretty sight.

The women were beautifully dressed In the daintiest and, In many cases, brightest of colois. Yet the har mony of color when the room was taken in at a glance A'as almost perfect. It was like some great conservatory, where the Silvers had suddenly becc me animated. There was a host of Brooklyn's prettiest girls present, eight of the prettiest and youngest helping Mr. Starret punch the cards of the winners.

The game was arranged by a committee, in cluding Mesdames H. S. Rasquln, C. Be asly, I. C.

Collier. N. Gramp, C. N. Pearson, J.

I. Pearee, W. E. Dorniitzer. The proceeds were given to the Brooklyn Christmas Tree Society, of which Mrs.
