An Ainiiiin; C'ouvcrxntion in Court YeMertlay It was expected yesterday that a hearing in Jho suit brought by the health board of Islip against Governor Flower and others, to restrain the further use of Fire island as a quarantine station, would come up beforo Justice IJartlet: of the supreme court.

Rut no hearing was bud. The plaintiffs in the sun are William II. Young, Julius HnnvD, John M. Howell and others, com posing the Islip board of health. Tho hat of dc fcmliints is headed by the name of Itoswoll P.

Flower, followed by those of David hi. K. Sammis. formerly owner of the hotel on Fire island, and William T. Jenkins, health officer of the port of New York.

The suit was to have conio upon a motion to have the defendant's time to answer the complaint hortencd, and to compel tho acceptance of a short notice of trial for the fourth Monday in October, at the Suffolk county special term. The reason that the audience did not hear thy argument was because a compromise was made. This was arranged between General George Wingute, counsel to the Islip board, and Charles Biaudy. assistant corporation counsel of New York. The corporation counsel on September 27 obtained from Judge Beach in New York an extension of time to answer until October 83.

Counsel for the plaintiff then urged tho corporation counsel to accept a short notice of trial. This request was rofuscd and then Fishol lieiJ. who appeore 1 with General Wingate, obtained an order to show caU30 why the extension of time should not be shortened In urging this motion, counsel says that if the suit is not heard iu October it can not be tried before May of next year. Tho island, although not occupied now by ocean passengers, is still hold as a quarantine station and is under the control of muskets of the troops. Counsel deposes that this state of affairs is menace to the property and life of tho Islip inhabitants, as well as all tho counties adjoining on Great South bay.

Tho people want to know at once whether the occupation of tho place is justified by law. The. stipulation entered into yesterday contains un agreement by which tho corporation counncl is to servo his answer on or before October "0, and is also to accept short notice of trial. General Wingato and Mr. Blandy withdrew to one of the lawyer's tables to draw up the stipulation.

Whether the inside facts of the case wore set forth in the stipulation as in tho counsel's conversa tior. may bo speculated upon. At any rate, the faces of thoso near at hand weru anything but solemn. Mr. Blandy began the fray by saving that the papers iu the case had never been served on Governor Flower.

This General Win gate declared was not true. He was sura they were served on the governor. "Thoy never got to the govenor's office, that's sure." wax the reply. "Because they were served on Governor Flower, personally," replied General Winaate. "I hardly believe thoy wero served on him.

At any rate when it gets to trial I'll wliip you out of your boots." "You think you will "Sure of it; and I shall do it in tho most expeditious manner possible." "Y'ou can't," was the general's emphatic rejoinder. "You ought to be ashamed of yourself to bo engaged on tho Islip sido of the case. Tho whole thing is a most unconscionable one." "Oh. yes! It's a nice way for a governor to go into a count7 and carry on things in this way. in th vory face of tho health board's protest Mr.

Blnndy's reply to this was evasive, but forceful. "I'll put the clodhoppers down there in twenty minutes 1" "Y'ou will find that tho clodhoppers will beat you." Then Mr. Blondy sheerod off. "I'm a Httlo afraid to go down there even now, for fear I might catch cholera." "Well, they aro soiling microbes down there in lieu of fish. Won't you have, somo sent up to you?" Tho batteries wero here drawn off and tho stipulation being finished both counsel signod it and soparated with a pleasant nod.

THE BRO0KLY.V INSTITUTE BUILDiNO. The Way In WhlcU tile Plana and Dc sitrsis Will JBe Secured. There was a meetinsr in the directors' room of tho Brooklyn institute Friday night of about sixty architects practicing iu Now York and Brooklyn for tho purpose of discussing fully tho best means by which the institute could secure suitable plr.n3 and designs for its new museum building. The first question that was raised was whether the best results could be obtained by competition or by selecting some architect of undoubted ability to do the work. After a very full discussion of the mattor it was finally decided that the best results could bo obtained by competition.

It was stated that most important buildings, like state houses, libraries or musoums, were constructed by architects selected through competition, and that tho public would doubtless be better satisfied with thu result if a competition was held. It was also thought that, inasmuch as a department of architecture which contains mar.y architects of undoubted ability was connected with tha institute, it would bo difficult to select any one of them iu any other way than by competition. Aftsr it was decidod how the institute should secure its Plans th question came up of how the competition shouli be conducted. Thoro were three methods presented. Tho first is known as a limited competition, in which a certain small number of architects of well known ability are selected to compote and aro paid for making their designs.

Tho second is known anion; architects as the rough and tumble, scramble method, in which anyone who lays the slightest pretence to architectural ability is allowed to enter tho lists. The third plan proposed is a combination of both of thoso. Acer tain number of architects well known, will be paid to compete, and all of the members of the department of architecture of tho institute who desire may also compete. Tho bos', threo plans resulting from this latter competition are to bo paidfor and classed with those of tho previously selected architect A competent board will thon make the selection from all of tho plune thus obtained. This latter plan was adopted as being tho most likely to brin about a satisfactory result.

A committed was appointed to maki tha complete arrangements for the competition as follows: A. Xi. Thompson, William B. Tubby, George L. Morse, A.

D. Y. Hamlin and Charles T. Mott. The committeo will report on next Thursday.

Captain Doty Thinks Cleveland Will Carry All Before HI Minister EnpnnS Return With the Baltimore Indemnity Funds. Special to the Eaolu.1 Wasuinqtox, D. October For some time itues been a matter of comment at the national Republican headquarters iu New York that the rich Republicans of Brooklyn have failed so far to subscribe to the campaign fund. Notwithstanding the most vigoroui efforts on the part of Chairman Wilson and the members of the local campaign committee, in Kings county the old time putters up. an 1 among thorn a number of well known protected manufacturers doing business in Brooklyn, have absolutely refused t.

coiue to time, and they havo said that they did not like tho men who were running the campaign, an 1 that they would not place their money in their hands for distribution. A few dys ago tho i. aui paitni managers became desperate and Chairman ilson went so far as to threaten to resign his position unless the coffers of the treasury were ropienished. Secretary Tracy was appealed to and Chairman Tom Carte of the national committee was importuned to use Ills iiifhionco to bring the moneyed men into line. Although Chairman Wilson of the campaign committee is a member of the swell Union leagueclub, the members of tlmt organisation since his appointment havo held aloof from him.

Several of them strongly advised against his taking the position, telling him that by so doing ho simply made himself part and parcel of the political machine, controlled and dominated by Collector of Internal Revenue Nathan. Mr. Wilson thought differently and took thu place. But much to the chagrin of the prominent Republicans to whom owed his position, he has not been able to rally around him the fiuiuci il support of the wealthy Union leaguers. They even went so far at oim time us to propose tho formation of a Union league campaign committee similar to tho one presided over by Timothy L.

Woodruff at the hist mayoralty contest in Brooklyn, which was to havu the exclusive power to disburso tho money subscribed by the club for campaign purposes. This scheme, however, foil through, until now it is too late for any such separate committee to be appointed. Ho serious became the condition of affairs yesterday, that District Attorney Jes Johnson hurried on to Washington this morning and held a long interview with tho secretary of the navj in regard to the situation. Incidentally Mr. Johnson's patriotic soul was cheered and his zeal for the cause increased by tho information that his special friend and follower, Charles M.

Winaut of the Twontieh ward, had just been appointed to the important position of quurtermEn joiner in the navy yard. Winant has been omployed in the yard for some time in a subordinate position, and both Colonel Harry Beard and Mr. Johnson have been particularly anxious to secure his promotion. If there existed any luke warmness on the pars of either of these prominent Republicans, heretofore it will exist no loug or, for Mr. Johnson informed the correspondent of the Eaole that ho proposed returning to Brooklyn this afternoon and said that ho would go at once upon his arrival to tho Union league club and make a personal appeal to its members to join with him In raising funds for tho campaign.

It is safe to say that Colonel Board will also eomo down haudsomoly and contribute his share to the fuud. In speaking of the condition of affairs in tho Twentieth ward Mr. Johnson said ho understood that tho caucus of his opponents, which hud been called on Thursday night, wim not backed by ex Quarautine Commissioner Nichols: that both Mr. Nichols ami Randolph Fuller, his lieutenant, Iish assorted that it has boon called solely in tho in torosts of Supervisor Bennem. I do not think," Faid tho district attorney, that we will have any contest in the Twentieth ward this fall.

Nathan and his frionds will havo ono assemblyman and wo will have tho others. ThiB will bo a jnst division and fair play all around. It is. of ourdo, too late to talk about any campaign work being done, excopt through the rogular committee presided over by Chairman Wilson, and I for one propose to give him and his associates ray cordial an! enthusiastic support. I think tho prospects are greatly in our favor.

Wo Republicans have not had many large gatherings, but I have never seen the meetings of the local Republican campaign committee so well attended as they have been this year, nor do I ever remember so much enthusiasm being exhibited. I attended the other day a meeting iu the Ninth ward, which includes apart of what was the Twenty second ward, and found tho hall full to the doors, and an overflow meeting boiiv held in the adjacent block. It was a banner raising meeting, which is quite different from a moss mouting held fur the entire city. Ten days ago wo had a banner raising in the Twentieth ward and I was agreeably surprised at the number of people present. In regard to tho factional troubles in Kings county, I think all factious will join hands and do what they can for the election of Harrison and Reid.

I fee! more satisfied that Harrison carry New York stato than I did four years Captain Alexander IL Doty is another eminent Brooklyn Republican statesman who appeared in Washington to day. He. howover, is not so sanguine as DistrictAttoruey Johnson as to the Republican prospects. He said: "Of course I want tho Republican party to win. but it will not surprise me to see Cleveland carry all before hiin.

In fact, if I was betting to day I think I would placo my money on him. Nevertheless, there is groat enthusiasm boing exhibited for Harrison and Reid amene the rank and of the Republicans in Kings county. The campiigu committee there, howover. needs money badly and something must bo done speedily to replenish tho funds." District Attorney Johnson when asked about the appointment of Winant as quarteriuan modestly denied that he had anything to do with his promotion. Ho said that although Winant was a friend of his ho had been promoted on his merits and at tho recommendation of his superior officers.

Both the district attorney and Captain Doty returned to Brooklyn on tho limited express this afternoon. The latter when asked whether Contractor Nathan would makj any oppositional his assembly district said, "ft would nut surprise mo at all to see an independent Republican candidate nominated thcr against Mr. Nathan's candidate. In fact from certain remarks that I have heard marie ab.n:t the Union loagu club, lam confident that this will bo done." Republican politicians ut the capital are banking very largely upon the. part that Patrick Egan.

the United States minister to Chili, will take in tho campaign. They say that Egcn's return here at this time is for thu express purposa of aiding, President Harrison and that has promised the President that between now 1 election day he will have the Irish Americans as bitter against tho Democracy as they were in lHHi. Mr. Egan arrived in this city this morning and is located at the Arlington hotel. Ho called at the White Houso and tho stato department to day.

He says that his visit to this country is not for politics und that ho does not know that ho is to take any part in campaign, lie camo to bring tho $75,000 indemnity for the Baltimore sailors and the draft of a treaty for the arlhtation of claims. There is a restoration of good feeling toward the United States in Chili, ho says, and on his departure ho was shown overy possible courtesy and boner by the Chiban government. Ho was offered a special train to tho seacoast. Fiowers were sent him and the most prominent poople callod to pay their respects. The Chilians, ho says, ure greatly interested in the reciprocity idea, and he thinks they are disposal to enter into a reciprocity treaty with tho United States.

Speaking of politics here, ho said that he had been authoritatively informed in New York that 3lr. Blaine would take the stump and mako speeches for Harrison and Raid. Mr. Egan said ho believed hat tho bulk of tho Irish vote would bo cast for llarrison this fall. "sirs.

I was younger thou by more than thirty yoars, but witii a hoar: tinctured with sadn ss through many disappointments in lifo. I entered into the great city of the iload by tho old gateway on I'ourtli avenue, iho run had ono to his rest, and tho dimming shadow of evening that precede the night lent a greater mystery to the secret houses of the dead. Viewing a plot that is located in Pastoral del, some distance fr un tho entrance, and In which my fatlmr and mother are sleeping their last long sloop, 1 wan.lurod thcroto.

I hail not gone far. however, when I cam" to a new made grave with a few flowers scattered upon it and a woman at full length at its sido. with otic arm thing over it as if she wore, embracing a human being. Amazed at such an exhibition of grief I remarked to hor that the earth was i lamp, and she wonld got her own death, if siie persisted. She was a widow, aud but.

yesterday bad buried her only child a daughter' of in years, boautifui and accompli lj.il. I informed iier it was late aud sho bad better leave the cemetery, or she wonld bo locked in for tho night. This seemed startle her and alio left for the exit. I went my way till I reached my own plot. Looking upon my Kravos I thought I could hear my father's voice coming up to mo in salutation of the ovoninc.

and I wonlered if it possible that my mother's bosom could be cold and iu decay that had once fohlo I mo to its warmth ami gave mo tho nourishment of life Thus meditating, I beoamu forgutful of tho hour till 1 was disturbed by tho iiso of something rustling among tho fallen, cri. leaves. It was a squirrel, iu which the place abounds. This brought a consoling thought, that tho dead have company at night. But as I raised my head and looked toward the east I bobuld tho odge of tho moon above a mound intersected with tho trunks of tall trees, and as it grow larger and larger tho full orbed satellite looked like a watchful yo over the deaf.

"Can it bo ho late and I'm locked within tho cemetery 7" I thought. I became nervous and at onto started toward the gateway. It was I. All was dark in the building beyond the urchwav. called the keeper's lieigo.

1 must get out, and for that purpov 1 walked along tho side of the high rail fence to see if there was a place through which I could make my escapj. It was too high to climb. I walked and walked until I was very tired. My oaso was hopeless. I looked around for a shelter, aud to get out of tho chill of tho night I entered the portals of r.

largo marblo tomb, and finding there a stone seat fastened into tho wall I sat down to rest and condemn my stupidity for staying so long. I was becoming Tory sleepy, but I baffled oh: Moiphcns the host I could, as I did not wish for frightful dreams and feared 1 might tako a chill whflo sleeping in this niustv and dump tomb of the dead. 1 looked around mo at the scaled marble depositories and wondered who was resting there what were they in l.ie but thoro was no voice to answer my thoughtful interrogation. However, I had been sitting in this dismal place some time when I hoard the cemetery clock strike IS. it souude I like a death knoll, aud while I was looking toward the moon lighted path in front of my nestling place a ligurc clad in white, with few il.

She appeared to be lookin; for sonic ono that she eoul 1 not "Why. h. nv is I thought tint 1 was the only person in this gloomy place." In, on arouse 1 from my scat and without the sense of fear, although she appeared like a u.

I followed her. She seemed to heed my footsteps and turned with her face towar 1 mo. She was young an 1 beautiful, but pah as the moonlight; her eyes were large, with a wild and anxious look; her lips were white as marble; her expression was sad an 1 partook of intense inquiry. I thought of the beautiful Annabel Loo, In her Hepnleher there bv th" In her tomb by the sunn line a. I ventured to spook to her and asked her "If sic were dead or alive She aiisw 1 iu a sweet voice, as if it came out from her soul.

"Dead:" "Dead!" I ev.d.iimo 1. "ii can that an i von are walking and talkiu: tho same as the living'." "It is my spirit lookiu its lover. Hi, bouy died before mine did and is huriod hereabouts, ft is a sad store. Sit down and I'll tvll you. We seated ourselves upon opposite graves.

She kissed rli flowers hel I in iier bund and began: "These tlowors are for his spirit. Tneygrow upon ray grave, lie was an 1 good and worthy of tin purest maid that over but alas bo poor, and my parents, rich and proud, duniod our marriage, and ho, in his despair, took his own life." I interrupted iiui said: "Stop, thoro: It is believed that thoso who take their own lives kill their souls, an 1 his spirit cannnt exist." At the conclusion of my remarks a lengthened moan passed over hor thin lips, like the wind through the broken archway of a ruinod abbey, and grad He Berascs to Make an Exact Statement the State of the Republican Campaign Fnnd, but Speaks Jlonrnfully of the "Six Thousand Democratic Onicvlioltlrrs and Subscribers." William Halloran Says That the Financial ftghtness is Xo Fault ot Commissioner Worth and His Allies. Prancin H. 'Wilson, chairman of the Republican oampaien club, refused estorclay to verify or contradict tho current raroorsthatthocoininittoo was iiAinancial straits. Ho said: "If.

during the lato war. General Leo had sent to General Grant asking tho latter how much ammunition he had on hand, tho probabilities are that tho rebel chief wouldn't have obtained th information lie desired. Now. personally the Eagle has treated, me as fairly as it has my puny during the present campaign; nevertheless, puity exigencies demand that I look upon it a political enemy, and so I must refuse to tell just how many shots in tho locker wo have or The reporter asked if Mr. Wilson didn't th ink that his refusal would bo construed into an admission (hat the treasary had uo balance about which to talk.

"No." said Mr. Wilson, "I do not. I imagine that tho chairman of tho campaign committee on the other side of tho house would act in Just the same way as I do. And thoro can be no doubt but that he has abia halauco on hand. Just tliink of the resource' that ho can draw on compared with us." Hero the speaker unconsciously dropped into rhyme: "There are Democratic office holders, proat and small, six thousand, I am told, in all.

Aud." added Mr. Wilson with a profouu.i sigh, "wo haven't anything approaching this resorve fund." "Then, as you put it, the Republican campaign fund as it stands is a certain sum minus tho amount represented by tho contributions of these six thousand Domocratw; offic.i holders?" asked the reporter. "You havo an unpleasant habit of drawing inferences," replied the chairman. "I did no intend to convey that impressiou. 1 only meant that, when the issue was forced, tho Democratic party, looally nt least, have much their favor.

No, I won't answer tho point blank question as to whether wo want moner. Neither will I notice any assertion to that end, whether it comes from my collonsruos or otherwise. I simply remain silent fur well, for reasous of a good onontrh nature." Beins pressod for an expression of those reasons. Mr. Wilson ijot suspicious: "Look hero," he said, "what's tho meanini; of the Eaoi.k nosinpr arouiid our treasury in this fashion? It cannot be for a friendly purpose.

Do you know that it seems to me that there is some thins aDproaehinjf assurance on the pari, of a Democratic pupt.r which tries to peor into llo publican campaign coffers Oh I au exact statement of the facts of the case would not bo harmful, you think Well, I differ with you. No, sir, your inferenco is again wronsr. I will not admit that the dosirod pesp into our banking account wonld have a depressing effect upon the spirits of local Republicans. Nevertheless, I refuso to make any statomept whatever." nd Mr. Wilson kept his word in Bpito of the suggestion that, if funds were low, the publication of that fact in the Eaoi.e would bo equivalent to a big ami free advertisement for assist 1 anco.

The individual who sits behind tho screen outside of Mr. Wilson's little room at the committee's headquarters in tho Arbucklo buildin? amused himself this morning with stamping blank checks with tho name of the committee Tho stubs in the chock book which deuotodpaid out checks wero in proportion to tho unused checks as was bread to sack in Sir John Falstaffs tavern bill. "Wo are busted," said he gloomily to tho reporter, as the latter came out of the room; "clean busted and nothing ahead of us. No, I'm not joking and I wish I was. I'm this because it's the only thing I can do with 'em." And ho stabbed another check with the india rubber.

Several of the campaign eomraittc3 wero seen regarding the tightness of mouoy. but they wore all in the conspiracy of silence. William Halloran of tho bureau of elections, who is ono of Commissioner Worth's trusted assistants, took a cheerful view of the situation: "This is, as far as tho Republicans aro concerned," said he, "a campaign of principle, not of boodle. Wo don't want much inoue and, oven if wo had it, would hardly know what to do with it. As far as the existing tightness is concerned I can 'only say that our people have done thoir duty.

Mr. Worth is always a liberal contributor for campaign purposes. I know, too, that Mr. Willis has been very generous in the matter. What those in the party who are supposed to pull the other rope are doing I cannot say.

But this I do know, that Mr. Worth and his friends are doing thoir duty. There are some poople I know who would bo only too glad to set the impression li.dost that we fall short of doing the right thing at this juncture. I know them and you know them. Wo know, too, their motives.

course, there is no gutting away from tho fact tint our navy yard patronage, when it comes to helping along the campaign, is, so to speak, not worth a cent. Equally certain, too, is it that we have but few other local office holders who can be relied on. So we have to trust to the gonorosit of private Republicans. And let me toll you tha: this year that these haven't oh. well," said Mr.

Halloran, speaking himself abruptly, "wu may be in a tight place just now. But we'll come in on theh'omestretch, sure. I moan that the money will come from some whoro." A prominent Republican who knows a good deal about the affairs of tho committee put the situation into a nutshell thus: "The embarrassments which beaot Mr. Wilson and his colleagues are in a great measure the outcome of that 815,000 affair of some thren years since. You remember it of course.

Threi of tho big local men went over to the national campaign committee and got 85,000 each to bo spent in Brooklyn for the good of the party. Tho wholo $15,000 practically stuck to the, angers of the trio. The national and state committees this year are chary of sen ling mora monoy here in view of that experience, and beside that they think that the navy yard has not done its duty in tho matter. It is a fact that one of tho prominent men in our campaign committee raised money on his own notes at tho beginning of operations, relying on later subscriptions to meet them. Now ho finds himself in an awful hole." MK.
