4 O'CLOCK EDITION MUNICIPAL. DYING. Mrs. Annie E. Wallingford in Oity Hospital.

The Erentfol Career of a Noted Charaetei Rapidly Drawing to a Close Mrs. Annie E. Wallingford, one of the most widely known adventuresses in the country, whose matrimonial escapado with Mr. Nathan L. Hawes madi her an unwilling occupant of a cell In Raymond Btreet Jail, is now a patient at tbe city Hospital.

On Thursday last Dr. A. W. Bhopard was hastily sumnionod to thn Jail to attend her aud found her In a very delicate condition of health, much bo, indeed, that ho recommended her removal to tho hospital. An application was mado on Saturday Iu tho Supreme Court before Justice Cullea to that effect.

Justice Cullen said that he could not find any statute which would empower him to make such an order. Meauwhllo Mrs. Wallingford made no Improvement, and on Sunday morning Dr. Shepard informed Under Sheriff Hodgklnson that he would not bo responsible for the woman's life if sha woro detained any longer in tho unhealthy atniosphera of the Jail. "Her physical said he, "Is much broken down, and she ia also suffering mental torture of the inoBt acute To ktcp her here any longer will kill her." Hr.

Hodgkiuson then sent for coach and had her removed to tho Brooklyn Hospital. He said yesterday, in explanation, There Is a higher law than any In the statute hooks tho law of human, ity. This, it seemed to me, was a case in which II should be exercised. Acting under tho opinion of ono physician I sent the woman to the hospitif. If I had kept her at the Jail much longer she would have dlod of starvation.

For eight days beforo sho left here she) did not eat a particle of solid food, and since she waa taken to the hospital there has been but little Improve, ment. From what tho doctors say I think hor recovery: is doubtful. Sho Is dying." Mrs. Wallingford has been lndlctod for marrying Me, Hawes, whilo knowing that his wifo was still living; She has had four or Ave husbands, from all of whouf she has been divorced. CONE!

Whot Paris is to France and Rome to Italy New York ia to Amorica. Anything that concerns tho Metropolis concerns ever; person in the United mates. Over ono hundred years ago tho American Colonies and France began a ttrugglo against monarchical tyranny, which resulted in uniting them as tho. twin sister republics of the world. The fraternal spirit commenced by Lafayette in 1777 has fcosn again emphasized by the people of France presenting to ths people of America the most magnificent statue ancient or modern civilization has ever Boen.

Twelve persons can sit within tho torch, ond forty persons within tha hoaii.

Our citizens have been asked for two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to erect a fitting foundation and pedestal on which the statue Bhall stand. Only one hundred and twenty thousand dollars have yefc bean rais3d.

It was to stimulate eubcriptions for this in teruational work that we made the following proposition: 182 Fultok Street, New York, March 25, 1884. Hon. Wsi. M.

Very respectfully yours, The Centaub Company. To the science of medicine the world is indebted over much. What Hippocrates rudely cammonced 100 year B. O. has been Bteadily improved upon, until mortality among ohildren has decreased ono half, and the average) life of man has boon nearly doabled.

When about thirty years ago Dr. Pitcher, warring against dangerous narcotirj medicines, discovered tho formula of vegetable Oaa toria ho recorded a scientific advance, which has boon adopted by millions of motliers, and by liberal physicians everywhere. Castoria, is not, as some suppose, a ss cret remedy. Its formula is published with each bottle. It contains no morphine or other injurious ingredient and is now as regularly prescribed as paregoric and castor oil once wore.

If Castoria wero removed from use, nfll other known prescription could fill its place. Mothers Willi be pleased to know that a part of the money they this year pay for this invaluable remedy will be loaned to tho dess of Liberty to enlarge the patriotism of their chil dren.

Halivax, April The diving schooners, with well equipped crews, wero at tbe wreck of the D. Stelnmann yesterday, and commenced taking out the cargo. When the divers first descended they fonnd the hull upright and firm in the position in which she sank. Two of the hatches were found open, the coverings being taken off by tha sea. The bridge seemed firm and the deck boosoa tn place, but showed signs of soon going to pieces.

The bulwarks were still standing. No bodies have been seen in the vessel so far, as no diver has entered the cabins or steerage. A large quantity of barbed wire was taken out of the hold by divert, sent to the surface and placed in the schooners. A large number of fishermen in boats from the neighboring harbors wero near tbe wreok all day grappling for bodies, but none were obtained. It la the opinion of many acquainted with tbe coast, that most of tho bodies outside of tbo would be carried out to sea by the under tow.

The watch on the first body picked up Saturday had stopped at 11:30.. The surviving passengers will leave here for New York, Those of the crew here will re main some time LARUE CONFIRMATION CLASH.

MON JO. Fight Over a Wealthy Merchant's Children. He Swears "That He Removed Them to Ohio Before a Writ of Habeas Corpns was Served A Mutual Friend as Corespond' ent in a Divorce Suit. On several occasions within the lost three weeks, General Roger A. Pryor and Judge B.

F. Tracy have been in the Supreme Court together, evidently opponents in some legal On one occasion they went before a Judge in his private room and had an argument on some question of Importance, reBpeoting which the greatest secrecy was observed. This morning the learned counsel wero at Special Term of the Supreme Court before Chief Justice Barnard. Then some light was thrown on cose, around which horetofore bo much mystery has gathered. Mrs.

Kate Monjo, through Judge Traoy, sued out a writ of habeas corpus, directing her husband, Domingo M. Monjo, to produce in court their three children, whom, it was alleged, he was restraining of their lib erty. The writ was returnable some time ago and. after repeated adjournments, a partial hearing was had this morning. General Pryor moved to dismiss the writ as void.

Mr. Justice Brown issued tho writ returnable before him, but there was no jurisdiction, either on the' Judge or theVjourt to do so. The return of Domingo M. Monjo stated that he had the custody of tbe children as their father. On March 10 he removed them to Toledo, and they had been there ever since.

The writ of habeas corpus was obtained on March 18, returnable on March 21. The father swore that the children were not taken out of this State to evade auy legal proceed ings, as no notice of an application for a writ had been given, neither had he any apprehension of the mother's takiug any such proceeding. The justice had no power to issue tho writ and counsel moved, therefore, to quash it. This was a proceeding by the wife against the husband for the oustody of their children. The Chief Justice asked how the proceedings could bo proper when the children were outside tho State.

Judge Tracy replied it was proper because the father was in the State. This was the first he heard of the children's being out of the They were Informed that the children had been brought from New York to Brooklyn. General Pryor said that there waB an absolute want of jurisdiction. A mother desired to obtain the custody of her children from their father, and at common law a writ of habeas corpus was not suitable for that purpose. Therefore, there was a statutory provision authoriz ing tbo issuance of a writ of habeas oorpus to the mother under the circumstances, but it must bo by the court and not by a justico whereas this petition was addressed to a justice and the writ was issued by a justice and made returnable to a justice.

Furthermore the parties must be within the judicial district in which the writ is issued. Chief Justice Barnard adjourned the hearing to give time for the examination of the law affecting the oase. Domingo M. Monjo is a wealthy merchant of New York, with numerouB relatives In this city. He bos be gun an action against his wife for absolute divorce, alleging her unlawful intimacy with a gentleman of re pute.

She denies the allegations. The corespondent has long been a mutual friend of the partieB. Mrs. Monjo was in court this morning. She is somewhat petite, of elegant figure and pleasing features.

She ap pears to be about 30 years of age and is of English birth. JUSTICE BERGEN GROWS SENSITIVE, And Itdfcukes Sergeant Kenny for Over stepping: liis Authority. Annie Linderman came to Justice Bergen's court yesterday and obtained a warrant for tho arrest of William Lindcrman, whom Bhe charged with having struck her in the face. Linderman was arrested and locked up in the Eleventh Precinct by Sergeant Kenny. An hour later some of the prisoner's friends appeared at the station and bailed him out, Sergeant Kenny accepting the bond.

This morning Linderman was brought before Justice Bergen. His step mother did. not appear. Ha stoutly denied having committed any assault, and said that there had been nothing further than a family quarrel. You are discharged," said Justice Bergon, 41 but I want to warn all policemen and Sergeant Kenny in particular, that when a warrant is issued by this court, no police Bergeaut or captain can accept bail.

It must be done by a magistrate of this city, This is not the first time that this has occurred, and I want tbo police to understand that they violate the law when they do so, may get thomBolves into serious trouble." Linderman and the officer who arrested him lost no time getting out of the court room. DISCORD IN THE REPUBLICAN RANKS. Things that come to the surface in the dif ferent words from time to time, go to show the correctness of the Eagle's information that the opposition to Daggett and Dody is widespread among the politicians of this county, and that the twin bosses are leaving no stone unturned to perpetuate their rule and further, that the question of the Republican Presidential nomination at Chicago is really overshadowed by this question of local supremacy. This is shown by the contest in the Second Ward, where there will be two tickets in tho field to morrow night. One of these will bo supported by the anti Daggott men, including William Rome, of tho Internal Revenue office, Alexau der Johnston and others of similar prominence in tho politics of tho ward.

Tho other iB backed by tho Daggett Dady men, among whom Jere. Field, formerly employed in tne Health Board, seems to bo a leader. The anti Daggett ticket is for Arthur for President, and if rumor iB to bo belioved, the Daggett ticket is also; so that thero is no strife or division there on tho Presidential BSue. JOSEPH C.

Tlxe Sale of Lands for XJnpaid. Taxes. Annexation of New Lots Brooklyn Elec tlou Laws Penitentiary Contracts The County Farm Bill Passes the Assembly, Special to the Eagle. Albany, April 8. There Jb biJi in the Assembly on the order of third reading, introduced by Mr.

Earl, which authorizes the Bale of lands tor noa payment of bxes and provides for the collection of unpaid taxes in Kings County. It states that the County Treasurer shall receive from the Collector an account of the unpaid taxes as required bj law, and shall not transmit the same to tho Controller as is now provided. The entiro matter pertain Ing to tho land sales is placed la the hands of the County Treasurer. Mayor Low has sent tho following letter in relation to the bill to Assemblyman Kelly. Mr.

Kelly will introduce a resolution to have tho bill recommitted to the Judiciary Committee I desire to call your attention to Assembly bill Ho. 031, If this measuro becomes a law each on oof tho five county towns would have its own arrears problem, precisely as the city now has. Each would be in arrears to a different amount, and the result would bo confusion that could not be untangled in the county finances. At present the deficiencies In the collections of taxes in the county towns aro certified to tho Controller of the State, and the towns are credited with these sums precisely as though they were paid, whilo the State makes itself good by a sale of tho delinquent property. By tbis process the county towns aro kept free from arrears to the county.

In consideration of this tho city pays its proportion of tho county tax in full, whether it is collected or not, and in tbis way the county's accounts aro kept free from all deficiencies and all intricacies. But if the bill were to pass Brooklyn could no longer be asked to pay in full while the towns paid only what they collected THK ANNEXATION OP NEW LOTS. Senator Daggett, in tho Senate, and Mr. Taylor, In the Assembly, have introduced the bill to annex to tho City of Brooklyn the Town of New Lota, and to provide for its government. Tho bill is substantially the one that passed both branches of tho Legislature last year, but was not Bigned by tho Governor.

It makes tho town the Twenty sixth Ward of Brooklyn. Tho town is relieved of any part of the Prospect Park debt. The question la to be submitted to the people of the town and city separately at tho next election, and a majority vote in both cases is necessary before annexation can tako place. Tho bill was referred to the Committee on Cities in the respective houses and will be pushed along as fast as possible, thougu there ia little possibility of ita coming to a final reading. It is so late in the session that new bills stand very little chance of passing unless urged with special vigor.

GENERAL HEATH ON THE WATER BILL. When General Heath was askod this moruing what result he expected from the Conference Committee, he paid "If they areTionest in their purpose as far as tho matter of surplus water is concerned we can conio to a satisfactory ajjreemeut I don't know whether they aro honest. I am told that money has been used to defeat the bill" "Do you attach belief to tho rumor that the Ramapo Company basils hand in tho game Yes, I do. I also think that rich men who own farms and villages on Long Island are mixed np with it. Money is a strong argument with many members, and if they have been paid for killing the measuro there is no chance for an acceptable settlement.

I have no personal knowledge of tho factB which I have given, and am only repeating statements which come to me having, I confess, the semblance of truth." Thero Is new feature in tho matter which may event ually help Brooklyn. Mr. Darragh, of Queens County, and his friends do not like the idea of Mr. Church re ceiving all the credit for tho defeat of the bilL Mr. Darragh Is popular among tho regular Democrats, more so than Mr, Church, and it is said that there Is a Btrong feeling among the members to accept the report of the Conference Committee for tho purpose of clipping tho wings of Church in his rapid flight to tho Senatorship of the First District.

Daggett's bill to amend and codify he Brooklyn Election Laws has passed the Senate. THE MISSION OF COMMISSIONERS KISSAM AND BEE YE.

The appropriation bill only amounts to $30,000 for the board of State convicts, aDd unless it Is amended a special appropriation will bo asked for.

The commissioners this morning submitted to the Attorney General tho contract of the Bay State Shoo and Leather Company with tho Kings County Penitentiary aud asked for his opinion as to when tbo contract expires. The contract was made for ten years, hut a recent decision of the Attorney General declared that Buch contracts made for a period over five years were illegal. If he holds to the same opinion regarding this contract, the first of August next about eight hundred convicts in the 'Kings County Penitentiary will be thrown out of work, and instead of being self supporting they will be a charge to the county. Tho Attorney General has takeu the papers and will render a decision to morrow. PERSONAL AND LEGISLATIVE.

Moore's bill requiring the payment of a license of ten dollars to kill game in Richmond County, nas passed the Assombly. An attempt to take the Free Pass bill from the Judiciary Committee was lost in the Assembly by a vote of 39 to 4fi. Assemblyman Kelly has telegraphed to Mayor Low a statement made by Mr. Church in relation to the water bilL Mr. Church says Tell Mayor Low that I will not agree to any changes in the Assembly bill uulees ho will make a fair and definite proposition that I can submit to my constituents.

I do not feel that it devolves upon mo to make propositions for a compromise. I will consider in a fair spirit anything that Is fair to Brooklyn and will fully protect my county." County Treasurer Adams, Police Commissioner Powell and ex Assemblyman Benedict are here on tho New Lots Police Commission bill and the Mil of Mr. Earl for tho sale of unpaid taxes. Mr. Adams says that nearly all the lawyers of Kings County are in favor of Mr.

Aside from any influenco the lobbyist may have it is doubtful if the bill can pass. The farmers are nearly ail opposed to the measure, but have Bald nothing openly because the bill originated from the special Investigating Committee which was appointed at the request of the Dairymens' Association.

Thoy say that they do not object to the manufacture of oleomargarine and butterlue but ask that it be sold Under its true name. Thoy do not fear competition if the adulterated articlo is properly labeled so that tho public will not bo deceived. H. P. G.

Fiuietolon Tliurdar, Afrit 10, ttiMt.U, SHends and relatlTes iniited, She Warbles Her Husband Oat of Tune. The Marriage of a Member of the Choir of the Middle Reformed Church and What Followed It. Robert Johnson, the owner of the Naval Stores at the foot of Richards street, was married on the evening of February 2 to Miss Annie M. tho daughter of Mr. Samuel B.

Whipp, of No. 440 Lafayette avenue, the Rev. Sr. J. O.

Feck, of the Han. son place Church, officiating. Mr. Johnson was ft widower and the father of two children. He was Btill, however, in the prime of life, and the supposed possessor of an ample fortune.

Miss Whipp was a beautiful and accomplished young lady, and for some tirao before her marriage uor hub cuuuaitc voice was nearu in cue cnoir oi tuo Middlo Reformed Church la South Brooklyn. Tha match was regarded as an auspicious one and sho was the recipient of widespread congratulations on the 1 art of her friends. In deference to tbe wishes of her hus balid, the marriage, however, was comparatively quiet, and was not marked with much social stir. The happy couple spent over two weeks on tho honeymoon trip, visiting Washington, Baltimore and other Southern cities. The honeymoon would have been extended to a longer period wero it not for the fact that Mr.

Johnson was called back by pressing bualnoas. He and his wife went to live In rrls uest two story and frame Residence at 139 PnfSeid street, where he had passed tho entire period of his first married experience, it was not long until clouds began to arise In the matrimonial horizon aud unmistakable symptoms of domestio dissension soon broke out. Even casual visitors to the house could not fail to observe, that the burning affection which usually characterizes tho first few months at least of wedded life, was missing. The cause thereof was a matter of conjecture. Some alleged that Mrs.

Johnson's ideas of her husband's wealth and position in society had been much exaggerated, and that a few weeks' experience in her new field brought about a painful reaction of feeling. On the other hand friends of Mr. Johnson said that his wife began to assume au air of over importance, and took the entire management of domestic affairs Into her own hands, Ignoring her husband's wishes altogether. Tho frequent presence also of tho wife's brother and other relatives in the Dunlolil street mansion tendod to aggravate the brewing trouble. Mrs.

Johnson found a domestic In the house when she returned from her honeymoon, but in a few days discharged her without consulting her husband. Even a new lock was put on the front door, th old one for some reason not suiting Mrs. Johnson. No progress, it Is said, was looking to a reconciliation and an adjustment of respective grievances, but things went daily from bad to worse, until a matrimonial cyclone seemed to be impending. Frcqnent'stormy scenes occurred between Mr.

Johnson and hiB wife's brother, who, as averred, made dire threats of vengeance. Not only was a inasslve cane nourished over tho husband's head, but it la stated that a shining revolver was on one occasion flourished In his face. At lost Mr. Johnson camo to regard himself as a prisoner in his own house. Ho represented himself as being treated in the most indifferent mnnnor and his wife even deprived him of her society by locking herself in her room with her new domestio.

Last night, for the first timd, Mr. Johnson determined to ventilate his grievances, aud oven at the risk, of publicity visited Police Headquarters for tho purpose of takiug counsel with those In authority. Ho was accompanied by his brother, and had a long talk with bis old friend, Detective Patrick Corr. Ho set forth his toubles substantially as givon above. Ho was unable, he said, to account for his wife's action, as ho had endeavored to treat her Iu the moat kind manner possible since their marriage.

All ho wanted was to bo mastor of his own house. This his wife aud her relatives seemod to be determined ho would not be. Whou ho married Miss Whipp, he had no idea that he was expected to marry the whole family. "What am I to do ho askod Detective Carr, whon he had finished his story. "This is a delicate matter," said the veteran detective, "my advice would be to try and come to some agreement with your wife, and not mako matters worse by plunging into legal proceedings." "I have met her," replied air.

Johnson, "more than half way, but it is of no use. Even my position as husband is ignored. father In law, brother in law, sister in law and, for all I know, my cousins in law and aunts in law have more authority down thore iu my house in street than I have myself, 1 am well nigh distracted, and something definite must bo done and that quickly." Mr. Corr could furnish no solution of the difficulty, and Mr. Johnson and his brother left headquarters and went to the Washington street police station, whero another consultation took place with Captain CampbelL "It is a sad state of affairs," eaid the latter, "but it is not a caso in which I have any right to interfere.

It seems to me, however, that you and your wife ought to be able to como to some satisfactory agreement. Tho second month of married life ought not to be so much disturbed." Mr. Johnson had an interview this afternoon with ex Asslstaut District Attorney Jere Weruberg. A friend of Mrs. Johnson said It is true that her brief married experience has not been au altogether happy one.

She also has got certain grievances to complain of, but Rhe does not propose to spread them broadcast in the newspapers. I hope all hostilities be tween her and her husband will soon bo at an end, but if no satisfactory settlement is reached Bhe will be able to prove that the responsibility does not rest with her. She 1b an amiable and accomplished lady and in every way constituted to bring happiness to the home circle." THE METHODIST CONFERENCE. To Day's Proceedings in the Hanson Place Churcu. The Methodist Conference at the Hanson place Church resumed its labors this morning.

The discueBion of yesterday hod exhausted the Intellectual forces of the assembly iu a measure, but the disposition to advert to it, and, in some instances, to criticise the result was clearly apparent. There Is a strong under current of dissatisfaction at the limitation of terra, aud while its opponents do not oppose itineracy in the stract on the contrary, favor it yet they do oppose with great fervor the tbreo yeara1 limit, and, it is said will take further steps to impress their views on their brethren. Interest in tho proceedings of the confor enco continues unabated. This morning's work was enlivened with some scenes on the admission of the brethron to tho various ordorB. This is the principal business of the conference, but is usually a very dry and spiritless proceeding unless some of the brethren aro moved by a spirit of strife and fight with the fist of wickedness against the admission of a particular brother.

THE PROCEEDINGS. Tho proceedings began with Biuging and prayer, as on preceding days. Dr. Thomas H. Burch then surprised Presiding Elder Hill by presenting him with a chair, the gift of Brother Hill's admirers.

Brother Hill accepted it in a happy Bpeech. A long discussion then ensued on the admission of Brother Wasson, from Nova Scotia. Dr. Duckloy said the man was forty seven years old and came here on account of his health. Dr.

Crook said that Mr. Wasson had no claim on the Conference iu any shape. Dr. Curry said that the Conference had plenary powers in tho premises and could admit or reject at its own pleasure. Several other brethren spoke up for the Nova Scotlan and praised his short, simple sermons.

Brother StauBbury said ho was a good mau and ought to bo received, if the ohnrch were not already overstocked with young men who could not find work to do. Elder Hill assured the brethren that places would be provided for nil the young men. Brother Williams was delighted to hoar all tho good that was said of the brother inquestion. Dr Crook said that no sclflelmfflF, no attempt to hold good places, should interfere with tho admission of the brother. Talent from Canada, Ireland or any place should bo utilized.

Dr. Roche said that the Con orenco could not afford to turn its back on the Applicants any more, which provoked a remark from the latter gentleman to tho effect that it was impertinent. The matter was decided by Brother withdrawing hia namo from the Conference. The application of other persons wore considered, aud the Conference adjourned after a collection had been tnkei).

Ho did not stuccoed In catching the Speakerls eye at noon, and it will probably be late in the day before be gets another opportunity. Congressman Hopkins is tho author of this resolution. It is accompanied by a preamble, the document reading as follows Whereat, A resolution calling upon Secretary Folger to submit to the House all the correspondence in relation to the Brooklyn Federal building has been referred to the Committee on Public BuildingB and Ground, and Whereat, It is specifically charged that the officers of the Government are in complicity with certain owners of real estate in Brooklyn by wbich tho Govenneut is to pay an exorbitant price for tho site chosen for the Federal building there, and Whtrtat, It la just to the officers of tho Government and others implicated that tho entire truth should be known therefore Retained, That the Secretary of tho Treasury be requested to submit to the Committee on Public Build lnga and Grounds all the correspondence relating to the Brooklyn Federal Building matter and That the committee be and they are hereby directed to investigate said, charges and Resolved, That pending said investigation the Secretary of the Treasury be and he hereby is requested to suspend further action in the matter of procuring a site.

The preamblo and resolution aB quoted may not be literally identical with the original, Mr. Hopkins having rehearsed it from memory. There was a protracted discussion before the committee came to an agreement, one of the members voting against presenting the document to the House. Hardenbergh and Chaunceyhave been hero.

Mi Dear Bib Upon calling on Chief Engineer Tor an estimate of the cost of dredging Gowanus Canal, I am pleased to find that the snm needed Ubove Hamilton avenue Is only $50,000. At the Walla toout, which is a similar case, 110,000 Jwill suffice.

If the Government will undertake to furnish say $40,000 mt even $30,000, 1 think the oity would undertake to do the rest; Let me know what definite steps wo ought to iako, and I will see what can be done. Very respectf uUy, Beth Low. Bon. W. Xolinson, M.

C. Mayor's Office, BnoosxYir, April 7, 18S4. Mx Dkar Mb. Kobihsos There 1b no law which I know of indicating United States control above Hamilton avenue bridge, except' the fact of wbich I spoke, Ti that the city maintains drawbridges across it Uhlch we are compelled to open on the demand of auy Teasel, according to. United States law.

I presume the duty of the General Government to dredge at the mouth of the canal is unquestioned. It is unreasonable to ask them to co operate with the city in regard to the canal Itself, inasmuch as tho best results depend upon securing adequate dredging, both inside and outride, at tho came time. If upon such a statement you cannot succeed, I do not believe anything can be done. Yours, very truly, Beth Low. I enclose a letter from General Newton to myself and table showing the tonage using tho canal in 1882.

All of the bridges alluded to in the tablo are on the Gowau rjfl Canal except the Washington avenue bridge, which is on the Kent avenue Basin, L. I. The amounts asked for by the Chief Engineer in con riection with improvements allnded to by the Mayor irvHewtown Creek 70,000 dollars, Sheepshead Bay 35, 000 Gowanuj Bay 30,000 dollars, Canarsio Bay 20,000 dollars. This committee gave a hearing to Congressmen James, CampbeU and Robinson. One of the members, Hr.

Breokenridgo, declared that ho should not favor the appropriation of any money for clearing Newtown creek, because much of the refuse in it came from oil refineries. So long as that was permitted ho would not consent to the granting of any money. Mr. Jatnos took issue with this statomont. Ho reminded Mr.

Breckinridge that such matters were regulated by a State law, and declared that the refineries wero closely looked after. Mr. Campbell spoko at longth in behalf of the improvements, both at tho creok and at Sheepshead Bay. Ho called attention to the fact that it hod been proposed in time to connect Newtown Creek by canal with the Bide of Long Island, aud urged that the appropriation would result in great benefits to the people of tho locality interested. A canal, he added, would le the means of wonderfully developing the whole region.

He was Immediately interestel, however, in granting the appropriation asked for, and hoped tho committee would see the importance of acceding to tho requests of the chiof engineer. Mr. Boblnson spoke more particularly In favor of the Gowanus Bay appropriation. In addition to the tetters written by Mayor Low, he presented communi cations from W. H.

Beard and J. P. and J. C. Robinson.

Chairman Willit said that before anything conld be Bone in connection with the GowanuB Bay improvement, a survey would have to be made by a United States engineer. Mr. Robinson promised to nave such survey made. Burton T. Beach, of Brooklyn, has been admitted to practice in tho United States Supreme Court a.

fcWIiS ft! Deacon Palmer Not Wanted bj the Noble Street Baptists. The Church Seconds tho Action of tho Board of Deacons, and now Anticipate! Peace and Harmon. A strictly private meeting of the Noble street Baptist Ohnrch was hold hut evening in the lecture room of the church. Rev. Dr.

Miller acted as moderator, and Deacon Snydam was clerk. A reporter was present, but he was requested to leava and did so. The moderator then ordered tho door to be locked. Tbe sexton did as' ho was ordered, but Mr. George Palmer, who is the entire Board pf Trustees in himself, unlocked the door and Insisted that it should not be locked.

There were about sixty five members of the church present, most of whom were ladies. Deacon Love said1 in substance that it was evident that a board of trustees could not be elected as long as Mr. Palmer remained a member, and ho moved that tho church request him to hand in his resignation without delay. This called forth an animated discussion, but it was apparent that tho votes were against Palmer, though the argument was iu his fa'vor. Mr.

W. S. Noon mode on ablo defense of Mr. Palmer. When the question was put it was carried by nearly three to one.

An effort was then made to take action on the pastor's resignation, but Dr. MiUor declared that out of order, as the terms upon which the resignation was handed in had notion complied with that of liquidating 9S0 of back salary. The doctor feared that they wonl'd have to pay the back salary beforo they could act upon the resignation. Nothing else of importance transpired at the meeting. A prominent member of the church told an Eaqlz reporter this morning that the church lacked spirituality, and he for one would be in favor of selling out to pay the just debts of the church and to go over to the Union avenue Baptist Church in a body that thero might be one good Baptist church in Greonpoint.

WAS CAMELO FARACH HCRDERED? Late Developmental Wbich Seem Show That He Was. to There has been, bo far, a rather lax investigation Into the mystery of tho death of Camelo Farach. Thore la gathering, moreover, ffora many quarters a cloud of suspicion, which seems to center aver the head of the Buspeeted man, Antonio Flacomia! The facts in the case have already been fully given iu the Eagle, but to introduce the theory generally believed by all those who have had official dealings with the case, it will be necessary, in brief, to repeat them. Flacbmlo aud Farach have been twice tn partnership, once as barbers and afterward as cigar makers. At tho time of the last partnership thoy ran a harbor's auup iuiu citjar maxing BHtaousnmenc at too somo i time.

On both occasions there was business disagree I usur iuu uuj partners separaiea upon uuinenu ly terms. It appears from the beat author, ity that the Hague's reporters can obtain that Farach considered himself the injured party, and there is no doubt but that he suspected that Fla comio did not render to him the fair division of moneys accruing from the business. The last placo of business which they held together was at No. 103 Degraw This was their location upon their second partnership. Farach had lOBt money as he claimed upon his first venture with Flsccloralo, and in engaging in the cigar business with him again bonounht to retrieve his losses, believing that he had invested in a good bnsineas venture.

Matters turned out to the contrary, and disputes between the partners followed. Farach claimed that Flacciomio owed him money, and upon this point there seemed to be no dispute. They agreed npon a settlement and deciding to dissolve the partnership, arranged that the stock of cigars and tobacco which they had on hand should be disposed of and the nroceedB eauallv divided. Valerio Lanzorottii a barber in South street. New York, who has an Italian trade, also combined cigar making with nis lonsonai worn, tie was a mutual xnoua, ana to him early on Saturday morning both Farach and Flacomlo went for the purpose of disposing of their tobacco.

They do not Beem to have effected a Bale, but the barber Lanzorotti noticed that they wero not on the best of terms. Flacomlo was the first man to reach Lanzorotti'B daces and he pretended to sleon as ho awaited Farach's arrival. The barber says that at no time was Flacomio asleep. Finally the two men and, according to Lanzorotti'B testimony in the matter they left his place at half past ten aud went to the Statcn Island Ferry. A boat left there at eleven.

and tbis is the boat that both men are supposed to have taken. Assuming this to bo the case, tho men would have had plenty of time to get off at tho landing at which they are supposed to have disembarked and to have reached the spot whero Farach's body was subsequently found. It is well known fact that the men were not friends, and when that, fact is understood, as among Italians, it means a meat deal more. At any rate, about 5 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, Flacciomio, who wore a neat bUBinesa suit coat, pants and vest of the same material returned to his home. Ho lives at 121 Columbia Btreet, and oocupies the back room on the top floor.

He changed this Buit, and nut on another one. The one that he donnml was his working suit. ThB pants and vest wore of a rattier laiid nattern. The coat was a heavv sack ul lot cloth jacket. It resembled a pea jacket.

When ho was arrested thiB was the suit that he had on. For some reason there was a Btrange oversight. Captain Kel lott waa satisfied on Sunday morning when Mr. Raymond Farach, the Myrtle avenue photographer, wafl In his station house in company with Flacomio, aud tbe fact of Carmillo's death was a certainty, that Flacomio wss cognizant of the circumstances, and in view of that fact detained him as a prisoner. Captain Kellett had often noticed and had wondered how it was that ho dreBsi'd so well and wore so much jewelry, and the Captain also noticed that the clothes that Flacomio wore on Sunday wero far inferior to the suit he generally had on.

When the theory of murder was. evolved it would seem reasonable that the captain would proceed to the house and find out where tbe other suit of clothes that Flacomio wore, wore, and to ascertain whether or not they would have blood stains upon them, aa the possibility is that they would if au encounter had taken place. No such step was taken, bpt yesterday some of the officers went to the house to find that the opartmontB occupied by Flacciomio were locked, and tnat ms wile ana two cnuaren naa gone to aew xorx. It is true that Captain Kellett and Detective Daly went to the house on Sunday afternoon, at which time afrs. Flacciomio and her children had left, but they pursued their inquiries at that time no further.

This morning SergeantRoe, of Staten Island, and Detective Daly found Mrs. Flacciomio at 103 State Btreet and demanded to enter her apartments. She opened the door. They entered and fonnd the pasts and vest of the suit of clothes whioh Flacomio woro on Saturday morning when ho went to New York with Farach. The coat was miBsing.

The pants and vest were taken to the South Btreet barber, in New York, and he identified them as the same as worn by Flacomio on Saturday last when ho was Been with Farach. Where the coat Is goue no one kuows. Mrs. Flacomio pretends to kuow nothing. A significant faot is this that on both the vest and the pants were acid states, and the accid has evidently been used to burn out something.

Perhaps blood. At any rate the holes burned through the texture wore not such a9 would have been done by the careless handling of any destroyibg liquid. They bear tho appearance of having been the result of deliberation, and the suspicion ie that the acid was used to burn out the blood steins rosulting from the encounter at Staten Island. The coat haB not been found, and the police can get no trace of it. As far as Flaclomio is concerned, ho is under the advico of his counsel And absolutely refuses to talk.

Tho police of Staten Island were this morning engaged in searching the ground in the vicinity of the tragedy, to soe if they could find any weapon with which the In juries sustained by Farach could have been in mcteu. They have hoen so uusuccessiui, ana it is believed that if Fiaciomlo UBcd a stiletto i knife, that he threw it into the bay as he returned from Staten Island. It has been ascertained that since Flacciomio was arrested, and the search made in his rooms this morning, that Mrs. Flacciomio was there. and it is believed tnat she secured his coat and thero is also a suspicion that sobfe one elso besides Flacciomio burned the spots out of the pants ana vest with the acid.

THE LATE FATHER FREED. Funeral Services This Moriiliiar In the Church oi St. Charles Rorromeo, The funeral of the Eev. Father Francis J. Freel, D.

tha late pastor of the Church of St. Charles Rorromeo, took plaee this morning from the edifice on Sidney place. On Saturday afternoon the body of the deceased priest was placed In the front parlor of tbe paroohial residence, so that those who desired might have the opportunity of viewing the re mains before thoy wero taken into the church. This morning, as early as nine o'clock, the chnroh was crowded, although the services did not begin until ten. Before the body was removed from the houBe it was attired in the vestments that deoe'ased wore while officiating as priest, The casket, whioh was made of oak draped with black silk, was carried Into the church by the following pall bearers Messrs.

As the body was being carried up the aisle the Fancialll requiem was sung by the choir. The coffin woe bo placed that the face of the deceased looked toward the congregation.

Tha floral offerings were choice and numerous. At the left side of tbe sanctuary stood a green ivy oross intertwined with roses, and at the right hand there was a pillar of lilacs surmounted with a dovo. At ten o'olook the services began with the office for the dead. Vicar General Keegan officiated.

They Ask for $185,000 Major Low GIy ing Credit to tho Local Members of the Legislature The Flats of Brooklyn.

A law passed May 21, 1881, limits the amount raised annually for "maintenance of pnblio parks to $100,000. The Park Commissioners say that this Is not sufficient and have hod a bill prepared so amending the act as to increaso the amount to $133,000. Mayor Low and Controller Brinkerhoff favor this proceeding. To night Colonel John Y. Oulyer, of tho Park Department, will start for Al.

bany for the purpose of having the amendatory um Introduced. Ho will givo it to Assemblyman layior. As the act of 1881 fixes a limit, there Is no power in tho local authorities to increase the figures, no matter what the needs of the parks may be. The Mayor said it seemed easier to amend an existing law by increasing the limit than to eeok tho passage of a new law wnicn wouia entirely ehango tbo status of affairs. The surprising feature to many in connection with mis Dusiness is that Information of tho intentions of the Commissioners should havo been furnished in advance.

For the current year the total appropriation of the department is $130,500. Aside from tho account of "maintenance of publio parks," tbo items are Maintenance of Eastern Parkway, $5,000 maintenance of Ocean Parkway, $12,5003 Bedford avenuo repairs aua cleaning, $5,000 construction of erections and improvements in Prospect Pari as per chapter 335, 01 ial, $10,000. GIVING CREDIT TO OUB LEQI8LATORS. The disagreement of the Senate with tha Assembly amendments to the Water bill was expected. Now that conference committees have been appointed efforts will be made by the local authorities to come to some ar rangement satisfactory to both sides.

It seems to be the general opinion about the City Hall, however, that the movement will not be successful. In the event of failure the city will probably take steps to increase the supply along tho present watershed. Chief Engineer van urn en says an increase of 0,000,000 gallons daily can be secured. The Mayor was asked to day if he had anything new to say about the bill. Ho replied In regard to the measure Itself, no; but there is one mougnt tnat I should like to express in connection with the publio comments that have been made con cerning the attitude to the measure of the local repre sentatives at Albany.

It was certainly very gratifying to me, as I think it must have been to the whole city. to see that Brooklyn presented a united front upon the question, and some writers from time to timo have criticised ths assemblymen because they did not do euough, and thoy have boen criticising at least one of the Benators because he did too much. It Beems to me rather a hard thina for a miblle he has dono his best, to be subject ed to criticism of that aort. The Senator who intro duced the bill in tho Sonate passod it vory successfully through that body, and credit should be given to him, not blame, it seems to me, for the earnestness with which he has endeavored to aid Its passage through the Assembly. Our Brooklyn Assemblymen also seem to me to have done what they could, and I do not think that Brooklyn has any reason to foel that tho failure of tho bill is due to any failure of duty on the part of her representatives." THJ3 FLATS OF BROOKLYN.

Tho officials at tho Buildings Department, while dls cussing the question of fiats in Brooklyn, in connection with the fire in the St. George apartment house in New York yesterday, said that there were few buildings of that character hero that wore five stories in height, and only two higher than that. The Fou gora apartment house, at Atlantic avenue aud Clinton street, has six stories, aud the Hat buildings, Nob. 53 and 65 Pineapple street, aro six and seven stories in height, with occammodatious for two families on each floor. The latter structure, which is almost completed, is known as a fireproof building.

That is to say, there are brick partitions between tho rooms, and the stairways and elovator shaft will be inclosed in brick walls. In tha rear is a stone stairway, to bo used a fire escape. Tho Department officials said that the erection of buildings to auy height desired waa not prohibited by law in the city of New York, as long as the walls were thick enough to insure safety. A bill which had been introduced iu the Assembly limited the height of dwelling houses in New York upon streets not more than sixty feet in width to seventy feet, and upon streets of groater width, to eighty feet.
