At what decision he arrived there is no means of knowing, for John Bigelow and Andrew H. Green refuse to tell. sober man bat acted so me times In a hnrrlod and nervous manner. Ludwig Kratzki, of 79 Grand street, one of the em. ployea present when Leitig fell into the vat, testified, in addition to foots stated by last witness that Leitig a few minutes before the accident said to him "How is it that yon have made the water so hot and witness remarked in answer.

"It has to be hot you yourself have turned on the steam." A man named Merte told Leitig to turn off the stesm but deceased said "No, leavo it as it is." John Koch, of No. 63 South 8econd street, foreman of tbe mixing department, testified that ho helped Matthias to take deceased out of tho vat worked bcsldo the platform whence be fell into it, but did not see him fall, though bo heard tho splash. The platform, ho said, was a little wet but not very slippery never knew any one to slip on it. The certificate of Dr. J.

Lonis Droesch, of St. Catharine's Hospital, showed that the proximato cause of death was cjllaj sc, arising from injuries caused by scalding of tho back and legs. The jury, after considerable deliberation, brought in as their verdict that Frederick Leitig came to his death from the cause giveu in the medical certificate, and added: "Wo censure the Brooklyn Sugar Refining Cdtnpany for not having had a rail surroundiug the platform."

There is no lack of interest, but a lack of time." What is the reason the Hebrews do not attend the synagogues on Saturdays more than they do "Beoause they are engaged In mercantile pursuits, and cannot arTord to loare their business interests to attend church." Don't you think, then, it would be better to change the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday "I certainly do not, and thiDk it will never be accomplished. If all tho Hebrews were combined and would worship both on Saturdays and Sundays all would be well, but do not imagine that our Saturday Will over be done away with." What is the average attendance at the Beth Israel on Saturday, mornings About fifty.

Of course, on holidays a larger number are present. The whole membership is about 150." What is the salary paid to ths minister in charge of the Beth Israel Six hundred dollars year. One reason why I resigned was that the sum was too small. Tho congregation is composed of very poor aro unable to pay any moro. Is thero not a difference in tho sizes of the congregations of the Hebrew churches Yes those churebes whioh possess an organ and have a choir always draw largor crowds." Do you believo that all good Hebrews should close their places of business on Saturday I do, decidedly.

I always remain closed from Friday night until Monday morning." Are tho Jows a very pious people?" No, they are not, taken as a whole. The majority lira up to their faith, but want their share of the business done, and consequently refuse to remoinclosed on Saturdays," What interest do yon anticipate will be taken in the movement to change your Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday No interest whatever. Tho only ones who will consider it at all wiU be tho reformed Jews." cannot let go by him without inquiry. our Christianity has done nothing else if it is open to the charge of hypoc risy and fraud among some of its professors, has dono this It has alleviated human misery and has established a relation between men that is the sublimation of fraternity. The brotherhood of mankind is asserted in temples and on tablets that are imperishable Every brick laid with the purpose of sheltering the helpless is a new testament to the altruistic philosophy which shall reform the world by and by.

The preliminary work upon the new build ing of the Young Men's Christian Association of this city recalls at once the objeot of the Founder of Christianity, the measure of his in fluence upon modern thoughtand conduct and the prevalent methods of carrying into effect the gentle philosophy that bears his name. There is, as our readers know, organization for Christian work throughout the civilized world, that has its monuments and anniversaries, its propaganda and evon gelists, its adherents of various kinds and its benefactors like tho man who left a fortune to the Young Men's Christian Association Brooklyn whose bounty is acknowledged in tho preparations now being made for suitable building in this city. The organ ization has unquestionably done good service in the causo of what laymen prop erly call humanity. It stands related the progressive thoug ht of the world, for it is the agent of that fundamental idea which ren ders popular government possible, and holds before tho eyes of the unenlightened citizen an ideal that cannot be ex celled. The Young Men's Christian As sociation of Brooklyn has, the Eaole bears cheerful testimony, followed the rule of the order at large, has pursued, with more or less success, the object of its founder, to give aid to tho halting and weary, encouragement to the failing and hope and comfort to them of low estate and heavy heart.

It seems to tho Eaole, however, that the work that thoYoung Men's Christian Associa tion here and elsewhere is discharging iB but fragment of what it ought to do, that by a little enlargement of its area of thought it can do easily. Is it not, when all is said and done, and the professions ox its leaders are weighed, rather an exclusive organization It gives its lessons, educates and improves its thousands, inculcates sound moral doctrine, points out to those that come within the attraction of its influence that which iB seemly, citizenlike and good but does it take to itself all that it ought to We think not. Its officers, manly, generous and kindly gentlemen though they are, can scarcely deny that the organization in this most favored of cities represents only a small fraction of the pop ulation. It is scarcely a deniable proposition that there are thousands of young people who are willing to join the association, but have an intelligent objection to offer. Perhaps their hesitation is explicable on this ground That Christianity, while it is overflowing with kind liness toward men, is not in sympathy with an obtrusive supervision of men.

To time Christians the attempt to coerce, to spy upon and otherwise violently make men conform to a specified line of conduct is very revolting. General Grant's Connection With Fish and Ward. General Grant has promptly made public, as it was right he should do after the statement of Mr. Fish, his correspondence with the latter concerning the eccentric operations of that celebrated financier. Mr.

Ferdinand Ward. The letters as published conform to Mr. Fish's account of them. Some of Grant Ward's paper was presented by Fish to tho Lincoln Bank for discount. The president of the bank, ox Postmastor General James, in quired of Fish whether he was a general partner in the house of Grant Ward.

Fish replied that he and General Grant, though originally special partners, were then general partners knowing of course that tho General's name would give credit to the paper. A little later he forwarded James' letter to General Grant in one of his own in which, after dwelling upon the necessity that "tho credit of G. W. should deservedly stand very high," he said that he understood the notes referred to were "given for no other purpose than to raise money for the payment of grain, purchased to fill Government contracts," and asked for any 1 suggestions tho General had to make. To this letter there are two answors.

One is in General Grant's own handwriting, and says generally that the view of their rela tions to the firm, as sot forth in Fish's note to James, was correct. Tito other answer was written by a clerk of the firm from a draft by Ward. Tho General's name is signed to it, and it says: In relation to tho mattor of cllsoonntn kindly mado bv you ior account oi wara, i woulu say that think tlio investments are snfo, ana I am willintr that Mr. Ward should derivo what profit ho can for tho firm tiiat tho uee of my name and wlvaonco may bring. If General Grant read Fish's letter with any care the reference to "Government contracts" should havo put him upon his guard and have induced him to inquire into his active partner's methods.

If he did not want to trouble himself to read his correspondence, or to in form himself at all as to the details of the busi ness to which his name was lent, ho ought to have kept out of the business altogether. The published correspondence will strengthen tho popular view of his Wall street operations which was instinctively formed upon the ex posure of Ward's transactions. The public has been long and perfectly familiar with Grant's weakness and inexpertness everywhere outside of tho army. AVhen he resigned his office of General and became President he was very soon surrounded by men who were unfit to associate with him and who used their in timacy with him for base purposes. The like happened when the late Fisk and the present Gould tried their blandishments upon him.

It happened ogain when after his eight years at Washington he essayed to be a politician. Once more it happened when he went into Wall street as an amateur broker. The people do not hold him blameless. They believo that he owed it to himself and to the country not to get himself complicated with matters which he did not understand and as to which he was certain to be imposed upon. They think he should havo been content to remain General, and should have kept out of the Presidency, out of politics and out of financial or commercial business of every kind.

The people, however and it is to their credit and his have never believed Grant capable of tho wrong doing of which men about him have been guilty. When the whisky fiw'ndlers were seized at his very door the public did not sus pect he was their partner and so of other transactions which have gone on near him and under cover of his name and influence. Tho event has always proved that the popular confidence was well founded. The Grant Fish correspondence will scarce ly disturb the public opinion on the case. Such blind faith in hiB companions ob it implies is precisely what might have been expected from Grant's conduct in all but mili tary affairs.

Now that the correspondence is published there is no more evidence than there was before that Grant was consciously coun tenancing fraud. The contrary is shown by the inexplicituess of the second letter. Ward knew how far he could go with his partner. Ho purposely made his draft vague. It would have been easy to say plainly that there were Government contracts and that they were all right, but this Ward did not venture to do.

Ho dared only to mention "investments," an elastic term that might refer to tho poper in which the Lin coln Bank had put its money, or to Ward's visionary contracts, or to anything. The broad lesson of tho affair is that it is a rmstaiie to suppose that one kind of ibility implies another kind a mistake which peoplo are constantly making, against the cumulative evidonco of history. Men who have disjilayed the highest capacity in one direction have acted like children inother departments of effort. Grant is not the first great soldier to illustrate the truth. The astounding thing is that experienced business men shonld have thought that because the hero of Fort Donelsou and Appomattox was our foremost general he ought, therefore, to be our leading banker.

Whatever result ia achieved at the forthcoming National Republican Convention will almost certainly turn, in a large measure, upon the votes of the delegates from the Southern StateB. Including the delegations from Kentucky, Maryland and West Virginia they number 268, or nearly one third of the entire body of delegates. That tho Southern vote is substantially assured to Arthur on the early balloting is not at all surprising. The delegations are made up in the main of Federal officeholders, who adhere to the Republican party not because of anything they find to admire in its principles or tra ditions, but because it furnishes them with means of livelihood at tho public expense. They are, in point of fact, Republi cans for revenue only." Turn the party out of power and they would forsake it as rats forsake a sinking hulk.

They bear no resem blance to the intelligent and self sustaining Republicans of the North. To their sordid natures whatever glory the party gained in the days of its early usefulness is either un beedod or long since forgotten. They stand apart as tho most conspicuous and most de praved upholders of the infamous spoils Bystem" that the country has produced, re calling vividly the days when ignorance, prejudice and fanaticism dominated the Com saonwealths of the South, and when the military power compelled the Southern people to submit while they were plundered before their very eyes. There is a fine flavor of carpetbag reminiscence about most of the Southern deloeates. Bad as they havo boen in previous conventions, the record of rascality embodied in the list of their representatives in tho approaching gath ering eclipses anything of the kind heretofore presented to tho observation of the country.

Dorsey, it is true, for obvious reasons no long er heads the Arkansas delegation, but he is replaced by the notorious Powell Clayton, one of his companion Dlnuderers. Paul Stro bach, tho United States Marshal at Montgom ery, who was recently charged with mal feasance in office, stands conspicuously on the Alabama delegation, environed by Fed eral stipendiaries of lesser note. Georgia and Horida contribute a choice array of feeders at the public crib, while Kentucky's Arthur column, which was literally bulldozed into existence, is headed by Walter Evans, Mr. Arthur's amazing Commissioner of Inter nal Revenue. From Louisiana come William Pitt Kellogg, of Star Route infamy, the dapper Pinchback.

who flourishes as Surveyor of tho Part of New Orleans, and the vile crew through whose conuivanco tho electoral vote of the State was stolen in 1876. Ex Senator Brace, the mulatto Register of the Treasury, leads a long line of officials from Mississippi, while tho delegates from the Caroliuas figure almost without exception upon the payrolls of tho United States. Mahone's twenty four thrifty Virginians are nearly all in the enjoyment of the old flag and an appropriation Tennessee occupies a fiiniilar position, and from Texas looms up the picturesque figure of Flanagan, who in the last convention startled the Civil Service Re fanners by boldly announcing that what the Southern mon were after were the offices. This disreputable gang affords a fair idea of the materials which constitute the Republican pasty of the South, It is composed of adven torers of the worst type known to our politics. With such a picture before them is it surprising Sat the Southern States are solidly in favor of transferrins' the control of the Government to the Democratic party The preposterous Jle is put forward by some of the partisans of Arthur and Blaine that one or the other conld carry several of the doubtful" South ern States.

There are are no Southern States doubtful" npon the question of whether Osj shall be properly governed or surrender themselves again into the hands of the rapa cious carpet baggers. There is nothing sec tional in the sentiment whioh impels a man to protect his homo and his purse from robbers. Tha South is 6olid," and justly so, in its op position to carpet bag thievery. The Aldermen, The Board of Aldermen at their session yes terday received and referred to the appropri ate committee a communication from Commis Bitmer Partridge asking for authority to in crease the police force to COO men. The rea sons for tho proposed increase are comprehen sively set forth by tho Commissioner, who jeejns to fully realize the importance of making some better provision for the protection of the city than exists at present.

He points out that since the limit was fixed at 500 under the Laws of 1873 Brooklyn has increased in population and the value of taxable property about fifty per cent. In other Words, the population has grown from 420,000 to while the valuation has expanded from 207,952,000 to tho enormous figure of 300,000,000. Whilo this progressive move ment has been going steadily forward the police force has been increased only about thirteen per cent. Commissioner Partridge ditects the attention of the Board to the very apparent necessity of mofe patrolmen as evinced by the applications at the Department for increased police protection from every precinct under his control. But for the peace able character of our population the need of larger force would be even moro distinctly felt than it is now; and the reminder would, as a matter of course, come in no pleasant way.

lhe request of Commissioner Partridge is timely and ought to bo granted. The force as it stands is in excellent form, but it is clear ly insufficient for adequate patrol duty, to snv nothing of the numerous other functions its members are called upon to discharge. The Committee on Water and Drainage reported the budget for wator maintenance for the year ending April 80, 1885. The total amount asked for is from which is deducted a surplus of $25, 787. S4 of last year's appropriation, making the sum actually to be expended $318,777.06.

The appropriation of 15,500 asked for the extension of water dis tribution is within the limits of judicious ex penditure and will servo in a measure to moot tho rapidly growing wants of the city. A tninor detail of the committee's report recom mends an increase, in tho salary of Chief Engineer Van Buren from 1,500 to i UUO, and that of Secretary Nortlmp from 3,000 to 83,500 per annum. Whilo it inadvisable, under the present condition of city finances, to rush indiscriminately into the business of enlarging the rate of compensa tion we are confident that no one familiar with tho conduct of municipal business will object to giving to Engineer Van Buren the slight recognition recommended by the committee Mr. Van Buren has served the city with zealous fidelity and his skill in his profession entitles him to proper consideration nt the hands of the local authorities. Mr.

Northup, during his extended term of service in the department, has also perfonned liis onerous duties in a manner deserving of commendation and suitable reward. His labors certainly have not been lightened by the appointment of the present head of the Department. It may bo acceted as a fact beyond dispute that lie perforins more of tho dirties of the Commissioner that the Commissioner himself. The Young ilii ii'N Christian Association. In his memorable Chamber of Commerce Speech, the stupid person who at that time Vas Speaker of the Houso of Representatives Opoke with bovine pride of the country as being covered ail over with charitable institutions.1 There was much to deride in this coarse and faulty statement; literally, it was opentomany objections: figuratively, it was clumsy.

And yet the fact that even the unwise and unobservant politician had recognized, that these charitable institutions had a meaning, was full of signifi cance. A great orator one of tho most fam ous of his discourses, some years ago, pointed out to his bearers this essential difference between the highest civilization before the Chris tian era and our own, that Athens in its noblest cloys did not possess o. single hospital or orphan asylum, nor one institution comparable with the type that is so familiar to the Anglo Saxon family. The uggestion is productive and turns one's mind naturally Mr. Payne has not and never had the slightest chance either of eleotion or nomination.

If the facts are as Ker in his testimony before the Springer Committee represents them to be, tho name of George Bliss, attorney and counselor at law, ought to be stricken from the rolls of every court in which he is licensed to practice. The special train now en route from San Francisco to Chicago, carrying the California and Nevada delegations to the Republican Convention, is decorated with bunting bear ing the inscription, "Blaine and Victory." It is received with wild hurrahs by the Plumed Knight's admirers atevery station on the road, and its trail across the prairies is littered with empty cigar boxes and champagne bottles. But there stands that mournful entry in the book of fate that James Q. Blaine shall never be President. The escape of John C.

Eno, the default ing bank president says the Utica Observer, presents a fine commentary on the vigilance of New York detectives." Persons who have given much attention to the study of that curious thing the vigilance of tho average detective are impressed by the fact that it is peculiarly sensitive to surrounding influences and circumstances. There is so little of the heroic about it that it never rises superior to its environment The Eaole is glad to hear from the Ithaca Journal that Professor Andrew D. White is not the victim of a consuming desire to be the Republican candidate for President that ho is 'entirely free from the annoyance of the in sect which the Eagle affects to hear buzzing in his scholastio bonnet." At a time when so many eminent statesmen are chasing the Presi dential jack o' lantern over the political morass, it is particularly refreshing to hear of this in stance of a combination of merit, modesty ond discretion. So far from being a dead cock in the pit Mr. Ward permits the ominous announcement that he is putting on his gaffs.

General Grant is not a man who decks his speech with sentimental trimmings, but when the letter of a certain naval hero some years ago caused him to declare that he had lost all confidence in human nature, he evidently indulged in a poetic license.

The Agitation" on the Question of Changing te Jewish Sabbath. How the Matter is Regarded bj Prominent Members of the Congregation in This City The Present Condition of the Syna gogues and the Small Attendance Upon Religious Services The Reason for This Apathy Explained by Babbig and Others. The following note has been received at the caglo omoo BnooKXTir, May 44, 188. To tha JStftor ths Brooklyn EaaU Temple Israel, on Grnenn nvAnnft bntwAAn Carlton avenue and Adelphl street, In the reformed place of wu.Buji, our oexrjan community, ui late i nave vio Ited it Saturday after Saturday aud at no time have found any attendance of either mon, women or chil uruu. nuat is me reason 7 Yours truly, A.

FLEEsmmAmsn. To answer Mr. Fleescbbanor'a inquiry an Eaole re porter was sent to investigate the mattor. Upon examination the subject proved a fertile one and an array of facts have been gathered together which are of not only to the Hebrews, but to Christians ai well, who see wnn grave apprehension the decrease in church at tendance and thB apparent neglect in all religious mat ters. Mr.

Flccscuhauer is mistaken in aappoBiug that no one attends the Saturday service at the Temple Is rael, mere are, on on average, eight or ton persons at eaon regular service and on special occasions the church is weU filled. Tho church is large, well appointed struoturo, located in a fashioutble part of the city. Though its membership is small, about forty, it com prises some of tho wealthiest men of that religious faith in the oity. The society is an offshoot from the Pearl street Synagogue. Several years ago the reform movement entered tho Jewish Church, as it did many of the Christian denominations.

Somo of the more liberal members were anxious to have mnslo as part of the service to remove their hatB in the synagogue and change ond modify old ceremonials which they bad outgrown. The rising generation especially wero de sirous of drifting away from the old moorings which held their others. Tho result was that a reformed Jewish church was formed, known as the Temple Israel, and later a church with similar purpose was started in me eastern uiBtrict (Beth Elohim). Thero ore now two or three so called reformed Hebrew churches in the city. The Eastern District church, under the labors of vr.

Wlutnor, Is in a prosperous condition ond has I large membership. Bev.Dr. Chapman ia rabbi of theoth. er church. He has been connected with it for five years and is spoken of in high terms as a man of culturo and ability.

His predecessor was Rov. Dr. Lasker, brother of the celebrated German statesmau ond soientist, who recently died in New York. The reporter oailed upon Mr. Liobman, a prominent member of the church, at Ms store on Fulton Btreot, near Carlton avenue, and asked for au explanation of tlio lock of interest and small attendance npon the per.

vices of his church. He admitted at tho outset that tho officers had very little caro of what took place and themselves rarely at tended worship. 11 Is it because of any dissensions among the mem here Not that I'm aware of. All appear to be on friendly relatione with one another." Is it because tho rabbi is unpopular Not at all. Dr.

Chapman is an able man, and we on iiRe him." What, then, is tho cause Well, to bo frank it is simply this We are all bust doss men, and as Saturday is our busiest day in the week we cannot closo our stores to attend service. can't do it because I cannot afford to hire a man in my place. Some of the wealthy members who nave largo estaoiishmonta might easily enough leave their buM nosB and go to church, but I suppose they do not be cause there are so few who go that they have very little desire to go thems'olves. I know that is true in my case. I don't care to go to church and fiud only four or five persons thero." If services were bBld on Sunday would it make any difference I can't say as to that.

It is a matter that Is creat ing considerable attention at present. The Biblo dis tinctly says that wo shall rest on the seventh doy in the week ond that is Saturday. I don't Bee why wo should change when we have the right day. The rising gener ation may Bee tho necessity for tho ohange. Our church is progcessive one aud we are gradually cutting away from old forms and ceremonials which our fathers ob served.

We have considered the mattor of Sundav ser vice in our church. Temple Israel, but have never dono anything. We hold our Sunday school on that day and it works very well. That is, of course, training our children to observe the first day and when they grow up perhaps they will contlnuo to observe that day. We also tried to have Friday evening services but that did not work.

Tho members would not attend." What is to be the outcome of your religious move ment in this city Our church will follow tho example of our stores, 10 oe successiui the large churches must Bwallow up the small ones. Wo will have fewer synagogues but they will ba well attended." Mr. Abraham, of tho Arm Wechsler, Abraham Co. is a member of the Temple Israel Church. He said to the reporter that the church was in a good financial oondition, but, as in the case of 3.

great many Christian cnurcnes, the members were few and they wore so much engaged In other matters that they did not have the time, or did not care to take it, tQ properly attend )to their religious duties. He said tho Hebrews were a commercial people and they could not olose their business on the priuclpal day in the week. If Sunduy were observed instead of Saturday, would it make any difference? I think it would. I am a reformed Jew and am in favor of worshiping on Sunday. It makes little differ ence on what day we hold our religious services so long as we set apart at least one day in the week for that purpose.

We are living in a Christian community and of course cannot expect the Christians to ohange from Sunday to Saturday, so all that we can do ia to conform to their customs. Mohammed must go to the mountain. We cannot give up a business day, and the result is our synagogues are poorly attended. I believe with Felix Adlor that it is more important that our peoplo should havo religious training ond instruction in our faith, even if it is given on Sunday, than that we should adhere to the custom of oar fathers undftobscrve the first day, which is the true day of worship, and so oar rabbis preach to empty pews." Mr. Joseph Wechsler, of the same firm and alio a member of the same church, was seon and said Our Sabbath can never bo changed from Saturday to Sunday.

Beside, we have a prayer which is read at the Saturday morning service; in which reference is made to the seventh day of the week. How could we pray this on the first day? We have too many churches in Brooklyn for the number of Jews in the city. One largo church would be well attended." What is the Eev. Mr. Chapman's salary?" "Fifteen hundred dollars a year." Do you think tho nebrews very religious lI do not.

I think it the same with them as with otbor people, that dollars and cents and how to acquire them are their principal thoughts." Mr. A. S. Monne, of tho firm of Manne No 307 Fulton stteet, was next seen and stated that he. attended the Kef ormed Templo on Greene avenue.

"Are you in favor of changing. your Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, Mr. Manne I am not. As Saturday has been our Sabbath for so mauy hundreds of years, I see no reason why we should change it now." But do you not think a larger number would be present on Sunday than on Saturday No, sir, I do not think there would be any increase whatever in tho membership of tbo churches." What is the average attendance at the temple on Saturday mornings About ten or twelve persons. When the weather ia stormy there are sometimes but four or fire In attendance." "How is the temple (Dr.

Chapman's Churoh) supported?" Tho same as any Christian church. Tho members hire their pews and make contributions," "Do not tho pewholders, then, attend church on Saturdays "I am sorry to Bay they do not. Some whom I might name, although owning pews, have not been to church in years. "How many members has the tomple?" "About sixty, I think, the majority of whom are of tho wealthier class." Moses May, one of tho most prominent members of the Eastern District Reformed Church, said that the talk about changing the Jewish Sabbath was all nonsense and would never bo done. "What would you think of a Christian," said Mr.

May, "who would allow his business to interfere with his religion and change his day of worship to suit his own convenience You would not consider him much of a Christian, and I don't consider a man much of a Jew who will make the oxcuse of business for not attending to his religious don't care bow reformed a Jew is, he must not glvo such an excuse as that. The fact that because the Christians predominate in this country we should follow their customs is no argument for changing our religious beliefs. WTherever Jews are, the world over, the Christians out number them. Only about ten per cent, of the population of the world are Jews. "In New York Dr.

Gottnoil bos started a Sunday service to accommodate clerka and women who cannot possibly got away on Saturday. I believo that to be perfectly proper. Thero ore a great many Jewish young mon and women who oro obliged to work on Saturday and unless there is a service on Sunday they will be deprived of oil religious instruction. But Dr. Gotthell continues his Saturday service, wliio is the real service of the week." Rev.

Dr. Wintner, rabbi of the Beth Elohim, Keap Btreet, Eastern District, is decidedly opposed to any change of tbo day of worship, and recently preached sermon on the subject, on abstract of which was pubr Iishcd in the Eaole. The Bev. Moshe is the rabbi of the Beth Elohim, which is situated on Pearl street, near Concord. He baa been iU at his residence, No.

172 Atlantio avenue, for the past Bix months, having procured a substitute. An Eagle reporter called npon him, and, in answer to the question as to what was the cause of the lack of interest shown by Hebrews in their church worship, he said The JewiBb peoplo, as you know, are mostly given up to trade. Our Sabbath falls upon one of the most profitable days of the week, consequeutly it is a difficult thing to get a Jew to attend service on Saturday." What if tho day was changed to Sunday That would be impossible for many reasons. It la not according to the law of Moses "that we should worship on Sunday. We are supposed to worship on the seventh day, not the first." How largo is your congregation, aU told We number at present about fifty members.

What we call a member is ths other of a family. In your Christian churches this is different, oaoh individual be ing numbered." What class do the members of your church belong to They are all people of moderate means, in good cir cumstances. How do you account for the small number present St tne regular Saturday morning services 1" Beside, having businoss engaguments, they do not think they will derive any benefit by attending. The majority of the wealthy Jews imagine they know as. much as tho Eabbi.

"With tho poor this jn iho as by them we are always appreciated." "There aro a fow days in tho year when you havo a largo attendance Yes Heir Heart day and the Say of Atonement, The Proposed BTew Central Structure. Professor E. F. Leighton on the BeneOts of a Concentration of Classes for Advanced Instruction He Regards the Improvement as Not an Additional Burden to the City. The Board of Education has again included in the budget a sum sufficient to erect a new building ior tne central school.

This budget will soon be pre sented to tho Bosrd of Estimate for its opprovsl, has been stated that the present struoturo is inadequate and unsuitoble. The register of the school now oxceods 600, and a large number of new pupils are expected to seek admlBsion In September. Tho Superintendent of mono Instruction said in his last report 8inco its organisation the school has occupied a leased building which is not well adapted to school purposes. A new and commodious building is very much needed. There will not be room in tho present buildiua for the large number of pupils about to graduate from tho grammar Bchools, snd were an appropriation immediately granted for a new building mauy pupils must be refused admit tance before it could be completed.

a reporter of the Eaqle called upon Mr. II. P. UJignton, principal of tho Central School, to day, to obtain his views on the necossity for a uow and enlarged structure. That gentleman said "Were a suitablo building at onco erected for the Central School, tlion the Board of Education would be able to off er inducements for all tho DiiKils in the first or highest grade in the grammar schools to contluue their education there.

ThiB grade, at present number ing about eight hundred pupils, Is taught by thirty onB isaouers. Buouia all tlieso pupils be Graduated iu June. thou thirty ono class rooms would be left vacant, which tuum oe, aner promotion, utilized for urlrnarv uunlls. Were there room in the Central School to receivo all the pupils that might bo graduated, thou the outflow at the top of our school Bystem would be as regular and constant as the influx at the bottom, and we should hear no more complaints of a lack of primary accommodations." "How much extra oxpense would the erection of a aoslroblo structure ontail The now building could be erected without adding any txtra burden to the annual sinenses of tha aitv. The Board of Education now pays for tho rent of ine present Building.

By expending about the same amount for interest a very Buitablo buildinir could ba exeuteo." What objections ore odvonced to this iniDrove nient?" Some persons claim that the school is unnecessary and should be abolished. They may havo au oxas gor ated notion of tho work being done there. The peo ple a money is not being wasted in teaching Latin Greek, German or French, however desirable knowl. edgo of tliesu languages may be, nor in imparting iu ouucuuu in any Ktiutyexcspt the common English branches. The curriculum comprises two courses the regular course, in which Instruction is given in tho ele ments oi mathematics, the sciences (i.

e. chemistry, uutunu pnnosopuy ana physiology), the English lan guage aud History; and tho commercial course, in which tho boys are taught the eloments of bookkeeping and commercial arithmetic. All of these studies have been taught in the i ublio schools in this city for the last fifty years, and as a result thero are no evidences of communism in tho community, nor of a class of citi wuo navo occomo restless aud discontented be cause they have been educated abovo their position in mo. iuo ouiy evidence of discontent Booms to bo in a feeling that the course of study was not still broader and moro liberal. Why wero ihese pupils, then, it may be asked, not left in tholr district schools to pursue midistiirbi tho studies that aronow taught tho Central School? The concentration of tnese academic classes by (lie Board of Education in 1878 hod two main objects in view oue in the interest of economy, the other dictated by a desiro to make tho instruction more In many of the local schools tno academic classes were very small and wero main lainou at a large expense per pupil.

The concentra tion of these classea enabled the Board of Education to sire up many class rooms to primary pupils and to utilize tuo services of a largo number of teachers who had formerly been employed in instructing the academic closses in other ways, and still to have teachers enough left iu its employ to teach properly all tho oca aeniic classes after they warn caucenciated lu liiis Central School. The work was mado much moro effective. Formerly each teacher gavo instruction in twelve or fifteen different subjects. Now tho pupi'B are brought mo various grammar schools under ono mnuaae incut, graded according to merit, and instructed on oue uniform plan by teachers who have made a specialty of their work, so that on the principlo of tho division of labor tho effectiveness of tho instruction is multiplied many times. THE STATE'S RESPONSIBILITY.

"Somo persons, however, contend that even this limitod instruction in tho higher branches is nccossary and ought, thorororo, at once to cease. Their argument is that the city or Slate has no right to spend the peo ple money in tho support of sucjr a school, iu the advantages of which but fow can share. In this connection it is worth considering the testimony of the groat men of onr country, and particularly of tho leading meu of our own State. These men recognized tho necessity of high schools, or of instruction in the higher branches pf learning at the expense of tho State, as indispensable to the success of tho whole system of pub. lie instruction.

Says Washington iu his farowell address: 'Promote, as au object of primary importance, institutions for tho diffusion of Soys Jefferson: The object (of a system of general education) is to bring into action that mass of talents which lies buried in poverty in overy country for want of the means of development." Governor young soys in respoct to higher institutions of learning Auy abatement of the interest of the state in these institutions is to be felt almost exclusively by those who, in their inquiries after knowledge, must requiro the paternal care of the State. By tho fortunate sons of tho affluent it is regarded with entire iudifTerence, but to those who are artificer of their own fortune it is a motter of vital importance. The doctrine that would deny to those institutions any participation in the moneys from time to time appropriated by the State to tho causo of education, would strengthen the aristocracy 0f wealth by adding to it the aristocracy of In all of tho many decisions made by the Supreme Courts in Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Massachusetts and many other Slates, there 1b not one that does not sustain in the most positive manner the right of the State to appropriate money for tdo BUpport of higher education. It has been reserved for this generation to make the discovery that there ia danger in tho State's furnishing higher education to tho people. Wore this school abolished, then the boon of higher education must be confmed to the rich alone.

The influence of the high school is exerted, ner haps, most directly and powerfully in providing' fho primary and grammar schools with a class of teachors of higher grade of qualification than would be possible to Becure without such a school. It exerts a beneficial inauence on iuo nomo anu the community at large. It teuus to keep up classes who sharo iu its privileges contented. Tho fact that the city does something for tho poor man's children mokes him an obedient and useful citizen. Take, howover.

from the noor thn hnrm that tholr children may rise to a better position than they occupy ond you have removed one of the, strongest incentives to industry, retarded civilization and ren dered less valuable all the ends for which governmenta ore Instituted. 8TOPOET BY PKIVJiTI! GIFTS. "Some who admit the necossity of high schools would have them supported by privato gifts, bv tho munificence of tho rich, or would have the higher instruction imparted in academies and seminaries supported impart by the Stato. Would it be compatible with the dignity of a city to refuse to build roads, to erect public buildings on the ground that private giving is gooa ior tne aonor ana honorable to the city, and a system of begging should be instituted that privato en terprise might complete what tho city needs? If such a system would be incompstiblo with tho dignity of a city as regards mere pilos of brick and mortar, how much more so is it when it concerns tho building of an cameo maae oi tae Drama and hearts of tho neonle. It is incumbent on every city to adopt such plans in regard to the educational policy as shall promote the good of tho greatest number.

Our Bvstem of common schools from ths high school to the lowest primary Bhould be under the control of the people in order that tho course of study and general management may be modified to meet tbe demands of an advancing civilization. Thero are many cconomio reasons why ths city snould generously support the school. There are at present more than 160 young mon pursuing tho commercial and regular courses, and nearly 500 young ladles, all Btriviog to prepare themselves for somo useful oud honorable position in society. Can (he city afford to cut the sons and daughters of those not able to pay tuition on from the privileges of high school instruc tion, while others more favored by fortune ore able to obtain such advantages in private schools Such course would not only deprive the city of the energy ana talent oi many or the best minds, but it would add, as Governor Young said, 'to tho aristocracy of wealth an aristocracy of Those persons who favor a liberal maintenance of the grammar and primory schools, but deny the right of the city to support at public cost high school, should remember that some core and forethought aro necessary in order to provide these elementary sohools with competent teachers. Even these porsons muBt admit that, if ihe city assumes the responsibility of main taining elementary schools, it has also assumed the consequent duty of providing them with competont teachers.

This, however, would be impossible without a publio high school. All educational experience shows that tho elementary schools are weak when the high school is wanting. Tbe high school is an indispensable part of our educational system, and cannot be eliminated without endangering the elementary schools. There is a well known prinolple in 'meohanics that the strength of any structure is only equal to that of its weakest part This principle is also applicablo to school organizations. A decay ofathe high sohool means a neglect of publio schools of all grades." FREDERICS LEITIU'S DEATH.

Tbe Coroner' Jury Cenures tho Brook lyai Sugar Refining: Company, Coroner Hesse hold on inquest last evening at the Sixth Precinct station house in the cose of Frederick Leitig, the workman who feU into a vat of boiling water in the Brooklyn Sugar Refining Company's yard, foot of South Second Btreet, May 20, and who died from his Injuries two days afterword in St. Catharine's Hospital, Leitig, it appears, when he fell Into the vat, had been lifting sugar mats out of it with a pitchfork, Nobody seems to have seen him fall, tho attention ot his fellow workmen having been attracted by the splosh and a cry of agony. The first witness was Mr, Henry Doschor, ot No. 142 Ross street, ono of tho proprietors of the'reflnery. A diagram shown him by the Coroner ho pronounced correct how the man came to foil into tbe tank he conld not tell; the tank was on a level with a platform on which he stood there was a railway on the side furthest from the tank, but none between tbe platform and tank.

Charles Matthias, a foreman, testified that when the accident oconrred thero were five men, at whom deceased was one, working in the yard under him ho heard a ory for help and saw a man named Koch taking deceased out of the vat tho lower part of his body was in the boiling water and he lay with his chest against the side of. the platform there, were about three feet six inches of water in tho tank at the time. They took off the man's boot" and underwear, and did what could be dona for him till he was taken awav in an ambu lanoetdtfce faoaplial.

In oponing the proceedings Major Walker said Ladies jbd Oentlemk. I esteem it a great honor to be called to preside at this mooting to uinht I have frequently hail the honor of presiding at meetings of tho Grand Army of the Republic, but to preside at a meeting of those veterans who served in tho war which antedated that of our loto civil war is on honor I appreciate most highly. This veteran 1, aguo was organized ill July last, at a meeting held in tho Momoiial rooms ot tho Gra Army of the Ropubllc, lu the City Hall. It was then that a permanent organization was fornicd, and it was tliou ond thoro detonuiuod to go on with the work. At the present timo tho roll call of tho league shows forty two members with fifteen applications, making iu a illtlo timo a total of fifty seven.

It is proposed to continue tha work of enrolling mombers till tho name of every veteran who served in tho Mexican war shall be enrolled on the same plan as that of the Grand Army of tho Republic with tho samo identical alms to relievo distressed comrades and their widows aud orphans where over fouud.

The prosonUtiou will be made by the gnll int Colonel of the Fourteenth Regiment, Colo uol McLocr, to whom I will uow yield tho floor.

COLONEL MO LEER'S ADDRESS. Mc? received with applause, said: When I accepted the Invilation to be prosont here to night I did not dream that I would have to speak to so large and to so fnir an audience. I was at Hist desirous to evade the responsibility, but I thought I would do injustice to tho ladies ond, perhaps Injustice to myself were 1 to fail to be hero ond dischowo tho high and honorable duty that has been placed upon me. One of the groat needs to bo provided for these vetorans of the Mexlcou war is to havo their claims brought to tho attention of tho wholo peoplo of tho United Slates and of Congress. Colonel McLeer reviewed at considerable length the deeds and achievements of tho American ormv in iin.

ico, of whom tbo veterans then I I nmo a uur. ju jr eiiKageuieiu. ne said, in which the troops met victorious, aud those of them that fell in the struggle were honorably buried bv their omrades. But look at the coutra tetvu en that war and the war for tho preservation of tbe Utioo I can speak moi Iritelliiautly of the latter wo. for'ln that civil struggle I took a part myself.

Apnlanso 1 In fact, the haltle fields of the (. Hon I ielt a part or myself. The s.icriiice was at all tunes dnrii. my rar tleipation in the Btrnsglo freely offered whatever that sacrifice might bo. In our civil war we had successes and victories v.c had reverses and defeats.

But tho old Army of the rotomac who will visit vour city on the 11th of Juno next and I am sure vo'u will be clod to welcome the bravo velorana who will on that occa si.m come among you never despaired.

So it went on from the beginning to tho close, defeats after victories ami victories after defeats, till wo finally conquered and the Union was preserved. Evory old 'ddier is fond or shouldering his crutch aud showing how iields are won. There ore incidents, too, on tho field which will always bo remembered.

With regard to tho purpose which brought us here I will say Mr. President, sol. diers aud voterans of tho Mexican war It gives mo great pleasure to be tho medium through whom tho ladies hero assembled, tho good ladies of Brooklyn express io yon, comrados, their good foeilng ond their most sincere appreciation of the bravo work you havo done for our country years ago.

Mr. McGill, raising the flag, said As tho representative of tho Mexican Veterans' War Leogue, I accept on behalf of my comrades this glorious and beautiful flag with tho assurance that tho men who never turnod their back on the oiieiny will cherish it, houor it, and if the occasion should ever arise, fight for it with tho sams ordor oud patriotism that marked our defense of the Stars and Stripes during tho Mexican War, in which ws shed onr blood and on whoso battlefields wo left our brolhcrB aud comrades, sacrifices to tha cause of our country.

I also thank tho ladies who havo not forgot, ten us and our stniccles in the nst few in number and our heads aro gray, I would assure iiieiu iimi. our uearis are warm and that we will nevor forget their kindness in presenting us, the veterans ot the Mexican War, with this beautiful gift.

That industry manifested itself connection with the Morey letter, when Mr. Bliss and his cronies and political accomplices at a venture caught a Brooklyn journalist and speculated in his liberty as Mr. Keone speculated in the people's food.

Because Mr. Bliss performed this service at least, made soma sacrifice in debasing himself, the person in whose behalf he rejected manhood gave him a reward. If General Garfield had been a bitter cynic he could not more mor dantly have repaid his unscrupulous supporter. Because George Bliss had conducted one mock trial to a useful conclusion, regardless of equity and without pay, therefore General Garfield appointed him to an office whose only care was to conduct another mock trial, this time for money in enormous quantities. To Mr.

Bliss the publio is indebted for the information that he was appointed to prosecute the Star Boute thieves to the associotes of Mr. Bliss on the side of the Government we owe the statement that he was employed to make the prosecution a mockery. Mr. Ker, of counsel for the Government, testified yesterday before a committee that the understanding among the prosecuting officers was that Dorsey must be acquitted, and that Mr. Bliss had been hired to secure the acquittal with the finest show in the world of arriving at a conviction.

While, perhaps, there is something racy and relishable in having this infamy proclaimed officially by one who had a. living share in it, there is no news in Mr. Kor's testimony. The country is fully aware that the Star Koute thieves were subjected to a prosecution that was purely nominal and was ordered with intent to decoive. His fellow citizens realized long ago that Mr.

Bliss was selected to supervise this burlesque of justice because he had already exhibited a fine disrega rd of principle and manhood and a noble talent for prostituting the Federal power. But such is the moral condition of the publio service that it scarcely causes a ripple when one expensive employe of the Department of Justice frankly charges another costly associate with tho fla grant sin of cheating the people and compounding crime at the bidding of his presidential master. One can best realize the onormity of this Star Koute infamy by trying to think of George Washington insisting upon a share of Benedict Arnold's fee, or of Abra ham Lincoln commuting a traitor's death sentence for cash. To such a stage of rottenness has the Ke publioan party como after its long ascendency that its leaders feel no hesitation in parading these disclosures of their chief to sue an indifference to morality have the conspicuous individuals of tho party educated the people that the country receives Mr. Ker's testimony, as it did the result of the Star Koute trials, with something very like indifference.

To such a depth of degradation has the Government of the United States descended that the sil ly person on the street corner can ex press his contempt for it without a check, and utter truthful comments, for the mere thought of which twenty five years ago, before the Republican party ossumed power, it would have been accounted a virtue in his neighbor to knock him down. In the light of Mr. Ker's testimony and other evidence familiar to the public mind, with what patience can reasonable men listen to the claim that parties can be reformed from within Our candid Republican contemporary, the Times, expresses a truth recognized by good citizens of both parties when it intimates that the old hulk must go into dry dock and submit to purgation from without. It is plain that whatever is good in the Republican party is iucrusted and overgrown with selfishness and baseness. Nothing but such a heolthy season of adversity as the Democracy has endured can be trusted to restore it.

If thero is anything in Republicanism a little experience of exile will show it in better guise than it has worn in fifteen years. Mr. Payne's Candidacy Abraham Lincoln is reported to have said, in reply to some allusion to his habit of joke making and story telling, that if he did not find refuge in this or something else from the terrible and continuous strain of responsibility as tho head of tho Government during the war period ho should die. Political campaigning, too, has its cares and trials, and it is to relieve tho exhausting wear and tear of its more se rious activities that our genial and esteemed contemporary, the Sun, makes the following humorous and double leaded contribution to the canvass of 1881 Henry B. Payno, of Ohio, is loomtne on crantllv in the character of a nossibln and not iiltosthsr imnroha ble successor to Mr.

Tilden as the Democratic candi date for the Presidency. The fact that tho Ohio delegation at Chicago In July is sure to be Boiia for Payno la of peculiar imnortanco and slsnincaucv. Kvnrvbodv can aeo what it may amount to. The only objection to Mr. Payno is found in tho existence of tho Standard Oil Company but that objection is loss fatal than it was.

It is believed that this famous company stood near tho ragged edge of bankruptcy during tho crash of Mark Wednesday. If it should fail ouiricht before tho Demo. cratic.Couvontion meets at Chicago, and if Mr. Payno should really get the nomination, ho would Btand a snlondid chance of bolne elected. Itorhan.i ho mar still onjoy such a chance oven without ao startling a pre liminary disaster, uuc it no uoesu't get the nomination, candor compels us to say be wttl not stand any chance at all.

Like a skilfully cut brilliant whose beauties are fully revealed only by turning its various facets to the light, this gem cannot be prop erly appreciated unless looked at from several points of view. We are first invited to contemplate Mr. Payne as "looming up grandly." When a ship is described as looming up she is usually understood to be suddenly starting into view from a fog. It seems clear that it is out of tho fog of tho Tilden mystery that Mr. Payne looms.

The dictionary defines looming as appearing larger than realitv. Certainly that is the way Mr. Payne appears to anybody who regards him as a probable or even possible candidate. Further definitions liken the looming process to a mirage, and ascribe it to certain conditions of the atmosphere and to refraction. Sometimes refraction is ef fected by a glass empty or full.

There may be a certain pertinence in this definition. After all the Sun may use the term loosely and broadly as meaning that Mr. Payne has suddenly been caught up and held aloft before the eyes of tho Democratic host). This, it must be con fessed, is rather unceremonious treatment of sedate and elderly gentleman, who should rather be allowed to rise gradually and with dignity. Our contemporary having made a statement of tho case forthwith fortifies it.

It is not a fog bank, it seems, out of which this imposing figure looms. It rests upon the firmer foundation of a solid Ohio delegation. Everybody can see what it may amount to." Yes, indeed nobody can havo the slightest difficulty in seeing what it will amount to in this case. As a cautious advocate our contemporary proceeds to examine possible objections to its client. There is only one the existence of that widely known and beneficent monopoly, tho Standard Oil Company but that objection is less fatal than it was." In other words, Mr.

Payne's relation to the company always was and still is fatal," but it is less fatal" now than it used to be. It must be very comforting to a dying man to be assured that the wound from which he is suffering, though fatal, is not so fatal as it might have been, or as one in another part of his body. The fatolity of the objection has been mitigated by the belief that the company stood near the ragged edge of bankruptcy during the crash." If it had actually toppled over it must be assumed that Mr. Payne would have been chosen by acclamation. Even now, if it should fail outright," and if Mr.

Payne should not fail at Ohioago, "he would stand a splendid ohonce of being elected." The Sun again illustrates its adroitness as an advocate by the captivating show of frankness with which it concludes that "if he does not get the nomination he will not stand any chance at all" of an election. Probably our esteemed contemporary haSaowhere on the face of the earth an enemy man and malignant enough to contradict this assertion. One does not often in short an editorial voyage see navig.ion seemingly so tortuous and dano arous'so skillfully mastered." to A Permit AHked for a Gas Pipe to be JLiata Complaint Atriiinst the Cltcse broutrli Manufaclurins; Compuny A sub Prcciuct Station House. The Board of Aldermen transacted no business of importance yesterday; afternoon. The session was probably the dullest of the year.

The following was referred to tho Committee on Public Lands and Buildings Gentlemen Under a permit given about four years ago by tho bureau or department of tho municipal government having tho immediate charge and control of streets, a tight Jointed iron pipe, two and one half luchu in diameter was laid from the factory of this company, on Debvau street, along Richards and Sullivan streets to the East niver.

Another Mcelins In tile Lafayette Ave nue Church What fllinislcri and Elders Found Fault With, and Hie Cures They SuKgretitcd for the Evils of Which Complaint was Made Another meeting wns held last evening in the lecture room of the Lafayette avenuo Presbyterian Church, corner of Laiayetto avenue and South Oxford street, for the purpose of diBCussing the condition of the Presbyterian church in this city and tho necessity of taking stops toward increasing its scope and efficiency. Thero wero present about thirty five persons, one half of whom it was estimated wore ministers.

The remainder of the gathering consisted of demure looking deacons and othors interested in church work. Professor J. Soymour acted as moderator, and in calling the meeting to order eaid that about three weeks ago a meeting had been held in Dr. Cuyler'a oburoh for the same purpose as the one then in progress, ond tho condition of tho Presbyterian churoh in Brooklyn had been then and thero thoroughly discussed. It was protty well understood what was needed by tbe Presbyterians of Brooklyn, namely, moro churches aud increased fa cilities for tho furthering of church interests.

Eev. Joseph J. Williamson, pastor of tho Alnslia street Presbyterian Church aud chairman of the Committee on Church Extension appointed at the lost meeting, of tho need of more churches in tbe city, more particularly in the Twenty third Word. This section of Brooklyn, ho which in point of wealth, intelligence and enterprise would compare favorably with any other, was sadly deficient so far Os it mado provision toward supplying suitable places of worship for the rresbyteriaus of the neighborhood. There was not a single Prosbyteriau church iu the ward, and as a reault of thiB thero was considerable complaint among byterian church, were not inclined to go to any other.

juaer uainos xoiina. wuo nas ueen lrlenunen wltn tlm iresuytewan cnurch in Brooklyn for some years, spoke in the same strain as Chairman Williamson, and was followed by Elder Hannah, of the Classou avenuo Presbyterian Church, Mr. Hannah said was about time the Presbyturiana of Brooklvn awoke to a thorough realization of their poBitiou in the respect that while the denomination was cenerallv sun. posed to be wealthy it was not sustaining its reputation in the way of providing ample accommodation for the masses. The troublo in the matter was not that tho ministers failed in zeal for the Master's cause, but that there seemed to be, to a certain extent, a lack of spirit in the denomination at large.

Elder Cooke, of Dr. Ludlow's church, cave a now form to the discussion. He said That these were tho days of business principles, not only in the administration of tho aiiuir8 of the city, but in every other domain. Why business principles could not be introduced in the matter of church extension tho sneaker failed to see. Rev.

S. P. Haleoy Bpoke of the decay of Presbytorian iam in Brooklyn. It had been suggested that mission school bo formed in tho Twenty third Ward, but Dr. Haleoy did not think that very much would result from this.

Decidedly tbe roost spirited address of the evening was made by Dr. Sherwood, a gentleman advanced in years, who spoke in a nervous, excitable manner which attracted much attention. He began by picturing the conditiou of tho Twenty third Ward, as it it) to day, saying that because of their laok of Presbyteriau churches members of the denomination were allyiug themselves with other creeds, or seeking Christian shelter in f6ida more distant from home. It was certainly a reflection on the Presbyterians of that part of the city that they did not have a church of their own, and while it did very little good as a rule to prate about such matters, the fact could not be denied that iu tho Twenty third Ward, at least, Christianity was being strangled and PrcBbytorianism had become a stink in the nostrils of the people. Ho attributed the docay of Preebyterianiem to a lack of interest ou the port of members of the denomination.

Brother Wicks, of Dr. Cuylcr's Oburoh, spoke of the difficulty of obtaining money for church purposes, aud the gradual decay of the chnrch iu After some further diBeussion the meeting adjourned.
