Coyne, seeing the pair together, approached them, and without further ado began beating his wile over tho head with his fiats. Lee, seeing himself to be in a Bcrape, incontinently But the husband was not agreeable to so sudden a parting of company, so he pulled out a seven barrelled Smith Wesson's revolver, and FIRED A SHOT at the retreating Lee. The bullet failed to find its billet and Lee escaped. Not so with the irate huBband, cr Officer Jamca McNeany then put in a sudden and unwelcome appearance and took the belligerent husband and the wife into custody and marched them to the York street Station House.

Herein answer to Captain Worth's queries Coyne said that he was employed in a New York morocco factory and that he was a hard working man, an assertion which his looks and discolored hands corroborated. He moat emphatically denied the shooting. But on his person was found the aforesaid revolver, all loaded except a single recently discharged chamber. He admitted that he did not live with his wife and asserted sho was a common prostitute. An old gentleman, who was near tho scene of the alleged shooting, said that a shot was fired.

The wife, a rather comely looking but SOMEWHAT BOLD FEMALE, glibly told her story. She confirmed the story of the shooting and admitted that she did not live with he husband that she had not done so for some time. She ha 1 been around some with Lee, but denied being a bad woman. The husband pleaded with tho Cuptaia that he i 'hould send for people who knew him, but tho evidence of the attempted killing was too stronjr, an.l in htead he sent all the parties before Justice Walsh.

M. The failure of the Commercial Warehouse Company had no effect upon the gold or stock markets. Sonie slight tremor was observable in the lower part of Wpll street, among the sugar houses, but there were no disastrous results repotted and possibly none may occur. The stockholders of the company will suffir tre heaviest loss, and the officers say that the creditors will lie paid in full if time is given to realize upon assets. A Loudon telegram says that the falture of Duncan, Sherman A has no appreciable effect on tho general market.

The Union Bank of London take the trouble to deny that they Sre affected, but they were correspondents for D. S. Co. It is reported from London that the shipments of cotton by this firm will be well protected. The exchange market is stronger to day for banker's bills, but no change has been made in the nominal rates.

Commercial sterling is weaker in consequence of the failures. A report is current that Jay Gould arrested the decline in the Stock Market, yesterday, and that he did 8 aw a matter of safety to his own interests. He is carrying immense amounts of Union Pacific, which dropped suddenly to 08 from 71J.J, on small transactions. He taw very clearly that if a panic resulted from the excitement then prevaibng in tho maiket money would tighten and the loans on Union Pacific would be called in, thus forcing holders to sell aud still further depressing the price. He according'y tinned his attention to Western Union, which had dropped from R2'.

It is unijnestionably true that the street narrowly escaped panic yesterday. Tho exeitement was intense, and almost everybody appeared to have lost (heir heads. Itneedeel some vigorous measures to turn the current, and whether Jay Gould or some other operator employed the means does not much matter, so long as the werk was effectually done.

The gold cleariDgs went through all right this afternoon, thanks to the perfect organization of the Gold Exchange Dank, and no trouble resulted from the business of yesterday. The price of gold conseepiently fell to and operators in the room felt more comfortable, having escaped tho threatened danger.

Arrest of a Brooklyn Ulan for Abandonment. Mrs. Esther Lewis, of Ithaca, Separated from Her Husband for Twenty Years, Brings Him Into Court Sir. Asa F. Lewis' Explanation.

Av F. Lewis, a gray headed, careworn man of sixty, very respectably attired, was before Judge Moore in the Court of Sessions to day, on a writ of habeaa corpus. Mr. Lowis is in the truck business, and is in prosperous circumstances. Ho resides on Fifty fifth street, between Uenond and Third avouues, in this city.

He appeared in tho oustody of Sorgcant Hall, in command of the Eighth BUb Preolnot, who arrested him on a warrant issued on June last by Justice James J. Day, of Ithaca, Tompkins County, indorsed by JuBtico Morse. Tho warrant sets forth on the complaint of Eater Lewis, of Ithaca, that Asa F. Lewis is her husband and haB abondoned and neglected to support her for three years. Immediately aftor Mr.

Lewis' arrest, hia counsol proourcd a writ of habeas corpus, which Judge Mooro made returnable forthwith. Mr. Lewis' counsel stated that twenty years ago a bill of separation was drawn up between his client and his wife, and that tho husband dcedod to hor a houso and lot in Ithaoa, valued at $5,000. For ten years Mr. Lewis had been a resident of Brooklyn, and until latoly hia wife had not troubled him.

Counsel objected that the offense with which his client was charged was not a criminal one, and, consequently, he oould not be ar rested for it in one county, on a warrant Issued by a Justice of tho Peace of another county and that, furthermore, as the warrant was directed to tho Shorlff of Tompkins Couuty, it could not be sorved by a police officer. Judge Moore overruled both their objections. His Honor said that it would be ridluulous to suppose that a wlfo was to follow hor husband about from county to county, through all the counties of tho State, in order to socuro hia arrest for abandonment. If she luvd to do that all that a reoueaut huBband would have to do would bo to cross tho Uuo into anothor county, and thon all hiB wife's proceedings would havo to be begun over again. His Honor donied tho writ, and reman Jed Mr.

Lewis to the custody of Sergeant Hall, remaraing that Mr. Lewis was fortunate in having so courteous and gentlemanly a custodian. Mr. Lewis says that the papers of soparation are lost, and that they wars drown up by Counselor Georgo D. Beers, who, he believes, is now rosidout in Now Jersey.

Mr. Lewis says that ho has soren children, tho youngest tweuty four years of age, and all married. Ono of his sons is in (ho Brooklyn Water Board. Sfr. Lewis says that he is indebted to one of his sodb lor the present proceedings.

It is said that Mr. Lewis has formed certain relationships, and that a knowledgo of this fact has prompted his wife to tako the present proceedings. Sergeant Hall says that ho has known Mr. Lewis for many years, and that ho is a respectable aud law abiding citizen, Mr. Lowis' conduct in Court was oer talnly such as to prepossess overy ono in his favor, aud ho was oarof ill to refrain from any remarks that reflected at all on his wife, although it is said tout when tho facts come out he will be exonerated.

(JUTTING A nOMK. How a iVIrtn bytlio Name of Walling tilot Possession of a. Suburban Dwelling and SI OO. David Hortou is one of the very quiet old settlers of Valley Stream, Quoeas County. Ho Is the owner of considerable real estate, and always ready to drive a bargain.

He had a house and a few lots of ground that ho doslred to sell very bad, tho times being hard and monoy scarce with him. day, threo weeks ago, a man named Levy Walling stopped at tho house, and desired to buy. Horton said the premises were reasonably worth $1,500, but ho would sacrifice $300 to got the place off his hands. Walling agreed to buy. He represented himself as well off in the world, but his capital waa so lnvestod that he could only realize a oertain amount eaoh month.

Horton believed him, and agreod to take $25 down, $50 each month, until $000 had beon paid, and the balance, $575, was to be secured by mortgage for two or three years. Tho $25 was paid, and Horton vacated. Walliug wanted to bo moved from Now York forthwith, and as Horton had horses ho agreed to porform the servicoB for $25. The furniture was carted, aud the Walling family were comfortably ensconced in tholr Buburban homo when Mr. Horton called round for big pay.

Mr. Walling bad no ready cash, but he had a check of Mr. Broderick on tho Mechanics' National Bank for $125, and if Mr. Horton would cash It and pay him the balance ho would consider it a favor. Mr, Brodorick was perfectly good for the amount, a man worth $30,000, and Mr.

Walling would guarantoe the genuineness of tho check. Horton thought it inuBt be all right if Walling said so, for he had never met a more clovor fellow, and so he took tho check aud passed Walling over $100. When the check wont to tho bank it was dishonored no Mr. Broderick had any account there. Horton wont with this information to Walling, whose only rosponse was that he was sorry.

Horton went quite crazy over the loss of his $100, and is airuid that ho has lost his house too. He laid his case before Counsolor Mott, who drow tho necessary papers, and Justice Bennett, of Jamaica, issued a warrant for Waiting's arrest on a charge of obtaining monoy under false pretenses. THE JAIL. False Statements by a Local Paper. Tlie Claaiiiflcation of Prisoners No Possibility of Sickness or Disorder that the Keeper Should IVot Know Of.

An article appeared yesterday in the local nopublicao organ on the Kings County Jail and its management, which is lsrgely.niaelo up of untruth. The Sheriff of the county is a Bepubllcan in politics, it is true, but his political faith has nothing to do with the facts. Tho articlo in question, among other mis statemente, goes on to say One of the most Important features of prison discipline is the proper classification of prisoners, but in this jail no BUch classification can be made. Professional criminals of every age, grade and description aro here made the close companions, not only of each other but of young offenders and of men who are not criminals. Each cell so occupied necessarily becomes a Bchool of vice, where now associations are formed, criminal education advanced, tho half penitent ridiculed, and encouraged to pursue a life of crime with a bold and fearless front.

The 'evil effects of this kind of association are so apparent that they need no further illuBtration; but thore is no remedy except a new JaiL THE PEISONERS ABB CLASSIFIED. An Eaole reporter called on Chief Clerk and Jail Superintendent Walter Thorne to learn what he had to say on the subject, Sheriff WilliamB being away from home. Beporter Is it true Mr.Thorne that there is no proper classification of criminals in tho Jail 7 Mr. Thorne The truth of the matter is that the pris oners aro propenj ciusaiueu. wnu uvu classes ouv of criminals sent here on convlation.

In the first place tho boys are kept entirely separate from the men and iu a different part of the Jail. Then the prisoners who are sent there only occasionally or for trivial offenses are kept separate from all others. The criminals who are convicted of comparatively serious crimes are kept in another tier by themselves. Tho chronic or habitual drunkardB are also kept by themselves. Thero is no truth in the statement that prisoners in the Jail aro not proporly classified.

The sick and tho fecblo are also kept in a corridor by themsolveB, their place being in one of the corridors of the female prison. Reporter It is truo that the keepers go to bed at ten o'clock, and leave the prisoners to take care of themselves, so that a prisoner might die with delirium tremens or murder another, without being heard or interfered with? COMMUNICATION WITH THE KEEPERS. Mr. Thorne No, sir; tho keepers never loave the building to sleep; somebody is always on duty, and none of the keepers retire before 12 o'clock. In case a prisoner is flick, or raving, or anything of tho kind, there is always a keeper in tho corridor who will hoar him.

A bell communicates with the Bleeping apartments of the other keepers and help is at once at hand. The keepers are constantly aroused In this way. There la not the slightest chance for any such occurrence to take place as is charged in that article. There is no doubt, however, that the county needs a new Jail. A LOCAL INVENTION.

Messrs. J. B. Perez and E. S.

Scripture, old residents of the Eastern District, aro the inventors and patentees of a new carrousel which seems likely to obtain general favor. Tho main features of this invention are its safety, practicability, and compactness. The hobby horses, saddled and bridled oompleto, are placed upon Bteel springs which, when the machine is in operation, are supposed to give to the rider tho natural motion of a prancing horso during equestrian ex eroiBe. A wooden platform which revolves with the horses secures the rider from falling to the ground. On either Bide of this platform are Iron lattice work guards.

The motion of is easy and agreeable. It may be run with the utmost ease either by steam or by manual labor.

A Card from Mr. N.

Nelson. To tlie Editor 0 the Brooklyn Eagle: In your paper of Monday evening, my name is put forward in connection with remarks made to Assistant District Attorney Hueu, reflecting severley upon the Justices of Now Lots, and strongly denunciatory of the Sunday liquor traffic. In attributing the remarks to me, your reporter was led into a pardonable error, based, doubtless, upon the fact that I was ono of the committee appointed by the Law and Order Association tovistthe District Attorney. Permit me, howevor, to say that I waa not present at the interviow, honco could not havo used the language Imputed, however much my views accord with the sentiment conveyed therein relativo to tho Sunday trade In liquor. My only object In Betting this matter right is to do an act of Justice toward the magistrates who are maligned, in my opinion, by the wordB for which I am innocently made responsible.

I make tho correction voluntarily, and hasten to add that my esteem for somo of tho gentlemen included in tho sweeping censure is much too great to permit the calumny to rest. In all iny dealings with Justices Gertum and Spencer I havo found them men of honor, and I have a personal ossur ance from the former that ho meditates carrying out the law to the extent of his powers, in the Excise cases now before him. And from others I havo hoard that Justico Spencer has expressed a similar determination. Certainly, I should bo very reluctsnt to coudomu these gentlemen in advance of their opportunity to aot. lm am, very respecwuuy, juuu jw.

Aspect of Duncan, Sherman Affairs To day. Interviews With JndffeShfpman and Other Well Informed Gentlemen Failure of the Commercial Warehousing: Company. A representative of the Eaolb called upon ex Judge Wm. D.

Sbipman, the assignee or tho broken house of Duncan, Sherman Ic to day, in relation to the statement that a number of Brooklyn tourists In Europe had taken letters of credit from that firm, who would be uncomfortably ineonvenlonced by the failure wbioh startled the community yesterday. Realizing the demand in whioh the Judge would naturally be at this time, the reporter, presuming upon a slight acquaintance with that gentlemen, called at the office of Ship man, Barlow, Laroque McFarland, at No. 35 William street, and inquired for the object of his quest. "What do you wish to see Judge Shipman about asked the Chief Clerk of the firm in response to the inquiry if the Judge were in. "On some matters connected with the Duncan, Sherman 4 Co.

failure." "Won, air, if you will go to the side door of Duncan, Sherman office, in Nassau street, and send your name to the Judge, ho will see you. He will be there from ten to twelv. o'olook each day, and whatever you want to say to him or ask him about Duncan, Sherman 4e must be said thore, for not a word will he speak in this office about tho aftaira 0f that firm. These rooms are aacred to the Law, do you mind The reporter "minded," and as ho vanished through the doorway, the voice of the clerk rang "Mind you go to the side door, now." There was an anxious throng awaiting entrance that door when the Eiole representative reached it. Crowded in tho narrow hall, shut out from ingress by an open work iron door and under the yellow glare of a single gas jet, were bankers, clerks, anxious depositors, and several newspaper men.

Within tho in closure, the lato receiving teller his occupation gone was on guard. Gradually the throng IncrcaBod In numbers until the space grew too small to contain it, when word was sent out that tho front doors would bo oponed, and all who had business with tho flt'ni would be admitted. To the front door, therefore, went the eager applicants, and after satisfying the brace of doorkeepers that their object was legitimate, were admitted to the banking house. Wero it not for the closely guarded doors, a casual observer would have supposed the firm were doing au unusually thriving business. The clerks were at (heir desks, and activity was apparent everywhere.

Only under it aU there was a restlessness which might almost be felt an uncertainty which looked out of each man's eyes with tho mute query "What noxt 7" The elements of a banking business wero alt at hand all save one no money passed from hand. It waB the play of "Ham let," but with Hamlet loft out. In the inner office, where the well known features of Wm. Butler Duncan wero wont to be seen, sat Judge Shlpmau, the assignee, "up to hie eyes in business," as he expressed himself to the reporter, who made his business known as briefly as possiblo, and was referred to the confidential clerk of the house, as being the por son beet able to answer his queries. That gentleman, In response to tho query as to the number of BrooklyuiteB who were travoliug ou letters of credit from hiB firm, said "Oh, they will bo all right.

Tholr friends need have no apprehensions on that score. But I really could not give you tholr number; and as to urntBhing you with a list of names, that is simply impossible. To persons in interest I will answer questions; but roally, tho PresB must be BatiBfled with what has already been given them in tho statement published yesterday. In addition to that, we have nothing more to communicate at xrcsent. Our accountants are engaged in making up a statement; but until that is ready we have nothing further to ssy.

Only, I would add, that all travelers will be provided for; and such inconvenience aa they may experience will bo only temporary." THE TRANSFER OF PROPERTY. The statement that within a few days' past proporty aggregating $385,000 had been transferred by Wm. Butler Duncan to Alexander Duncan, having created somo comment, a reporter visited the Begisler's Oftlce, in New York, and consulted tho records with this result Two doeds were recorded on Monday afternoon, the 2fth at twonty minutos past three. The first bears date May 28, 1863, and is a conveyanoo from William Butler Duncan and his wife, Jane Peroy Butler Butler Duncan, and Sarah G. M.

Sherman, widow of Watts, Sherman and others to Alexander Duncan, of No. 7 Princes' Gate, London, England, of two equal third parts of tho two lots and buildings known as Nos. 0 and 11 Nassau street, the consideration being $300,000 cash, and tho assumption of mortgage, whoso sum is not specified. The second deed is dated May 35, 1874, and conveys to Alexander Duncan, for $85,000 cash, tho banking house property on the corner of Nassau and Pine, subject to a mortgage of $40,000, in favor of Louis Lowcnsteln and Fanny, his wife, and Edward Keyman, from whom Mr. Butler Duncan purchased tho property in question, January 31, 16713.

THE CAUSES OF THE FAILUBH. Pending the accounting in course of preparation, the actual cause of the failure of Duncan, Sherman remains largely a matter of snrmiao. That thoy largely long of cotton there is no question, though much diversity of opinion obtains as to tho actual extent ol their losses. It is known, however, that tholr principal hrokors, Messrs. John Hitching wore very free sellers at the cotton exchange yesterday, disposing in a brief interval of over 65,000 bales.

Unprofitable ventures in railroads will also be found to have had a depressing influence upon tho stability of tho house. It is further intimated, that the actual capital of tho fit was much loss than they had boen popularly credited with. Another Failure. At eleven o'clock to day the Commercial Warehousing Company, whose ofllco is at the corner of Exchange place and William street, announced that it was unable to meet its obligations and would have to suspend. The house was organized some eight yeara ago with a capital of $1,000,000, which, three years later, was increased to $2,000,000.

According to the statement of the Vice President of the Company, Mr. Nazarro, tho Company had been doing a good business up to 1873, when it was crippled by the panio of that year. Tho immediate cause of lis suspension is attributed to tho times and its funds being locked up in such a way as not to be Immediately available to meet tho pressing demands of its creditors. BIRTHDAY SPREE. A nan's Head Cut Open With a Boer aiusa.

Early yesterday evening a fracas occurred in Buokman's beor saloon, No. 9 Graham avenue, the parties to which wero Goorge Golse and Peter Kohlmer. Gelse had attained his thirtieth birthday and had started out for a good time generally. To use his own language it was his "day out." At his invitation par ties in the saloon had imbibed frequently while tho customary responses from tho others wero few and far between. As the Governor of North Carolina is reputed to have remarked on a oertain occasion, thero came to be extended pauses between drinks, and tho ailuro of some in tho place to stand treat was commented upon by Goise.

To his derisive allusions Kohl mer took offense, and words were bandied between him and Goise decidedly uncomplimentary in character. Blows suoceeded and in tho melee that ensued Geise had the top of his soalp laid open with a beor glass thrown by Kohlmer. Geise was hurried to tho Btagg stroot Station, where Police Surgeon Murphy dressed tho wound temporarily, until tho man oould bo removed to the Hospital. The injury was deemed sufficiently slight to admit of Geie being taken to his home, ot No. 197 Johnson avenuo, His assailant escaped in the confusion of the moment, and had not been seon up to noon of to day.

FALLING ACCIDENTS. George Leutringhausen, whose father is proprietor of a provision storo in Ewon street, last evening Blipped on the steps to an ice vault, and in falling, broke his right leg. The fractured limb was Bet by the family physician. About tho same time, a son of Colonel Burger, sustained painful though not serioUB injuries, by falling off the stoop loading to Saenger HalL which adjoins the boy's residence, in Meserole Btreet. The youth'B nose will probably be out of joint perpetually, as there was a fraoture of the nasal organ.

One "Wife's Ribs Broken, Another Struck on the Forehead With an Ax, and a Third Thrown Down Stairs.

There seems to be a wife beating mania in the Eastern District at present. There are doubtless many cases never reported. Two of the three cases recorded below only oame to light through the necessity of having the wounds dressed after they had assumed a dangerous aspect. The wives refused in two cases to swear ont warrants for the arrest of their "lords aud masters." On Sunday night last Ellen Mulcann, aged thirty four years, and residing at No. 26 Withers street, was attending to her domeetio duties when her husband entered, considerably under the influence of liquor.

He had many faults to find with the way the household affairs were managed, and wanted his supper forthwith. It was spread on the table for him, but he still continued to and fault. Tho wife remonstrated, and told him that if he took less rum he would see things in a better light. This remark enraged him, and jumping up he squared off and commenced a vigorous onslaught on her, pounding her fearfully about the face and arms. He blackened her eyes, and forcing her to the ground brutally kicked her in the ribs.

One of the latter was broken, and now her side is muoh swollen. Her cries ot murder brought the other occupants of the house to her assistance, and probably saved her life. Nothing was heard of tho case until yesterday, when she called at the Eastern District Hospital to have her wounds dressed. After relating tho above Btory to Surgeon Lindloy, ho advised her to swear out a warrant for the arrest of her husband, but this she positively refused to do. STBUOK WITH AN AX.

Susan Noon lives at No. 152 Sixth street. She has had frequent rough experiences at the hands of her husband, has learned to be careful while he is under the influence of liquor, as his temper is "ugly." On such occasions she keeps near the door, and in case he develops any signs of ugliness," Bhe takes to her heels. Sunday night last he reached home intoxicated. She upbraided him for his drunken habits, and he retorted by telling horto "shut up." She seems not to have done so, but rather allowed her passion to get the better of her Judgmont, inasmuch as she neglected to use her usual precautionary tactics by moving toward the door.

Tho husoaud instantly seized an ax, aud bofore she could run away ho dealt her a powerful blow on the forehead, from which she fell insensible to the floor. Somo of tho other occupants of the house heard the noiBO and the cries ot the children that their mamma was killed, and went into the room to find the woman bleeding profusely from the forehead, tho bono of which was laid bare. They went to the drug storo and got some plaster and restoratives. When she revived sho begged that the matter Bhould be kept quiet, Her wishes were the more readily compiled with, as her attendants had an antipathy to the police, engendered, doubtless, by a too frequent acquaintance with them, judging from tho number of brawls which occur in the neighborhood. The wound, however, became too dangerous for amateur skill, and yesterday the woman had to apply to the Eastern Dls triot Hospital for medical aid.

Sho, too, could not bo induced to maka complaint against her husband. The wound is a bad one. THEEW HEB DOWN STAIRS. William Barrlngton and his wife Elizabeth live at No. 152 Eagle street, Qreenpoint.

William frequently indulges in liquor to the extent of forgetting next morning what occurred the previous night. Monday night, while in this state of semi unconsciousness, ho had a quarrel with hia wife, and dragging her to tho stairway pitched her down. By a vigorous use of her lungs Bhe attracted a large crowd of people, and with them an officer, who locked William up in the Seventh Precinct Station House. Justice Elliott adjourned the case for hearing till to morrow. OBITUARY.

Mrs. Cclia Burlcie li. The death of this lady of whom the Eaolb made mention a day or two since, will not bo a surpriso to her friends ia this city. She had boen ill a long time, and her malady was of such a painful nature that long ago It grew to be hor own wish and the wish also of those who knew and appreciated her moBt highly that death should come speedily. Yet few women, even those surrounded by their own families, have known such faithful attentions and constant friendship as she has enjoyed.

Mrs, Burleigh, was a resident of this city for about eight years, and both she aud her late husband, Mr, Wm. N. Burleigh, were well knownhere, They wore both ardent supporters of Woman's Suffrage, both united in their religious work and firm adherents of the progressive movements of tho day. Mr. Burleigh died in 1872, and after hia death his wife entered the ministry and was pastor of the Unitarian Church in Brooklyn, previously preaided over by Samuel D.

May. Mrs. Burleigh's later history is well known, and her work as a pubho speaker and later as a minister, brought her in contact with many of the noted people of the day. She was born in Syracuse, where, on Monday, the 26th she died at tho age of forty eight years. Her surroundings in early life wore of the most humble kind, and her education was wholly self acquired; hence tho greater hor merit.

While very young she married a man greatly her Buperior in every respect, aud who helped her to overcome some of the illiteracy to which the accident of birth had subjected her. This marriage, like the second one she mado, was unfortunate, and twico Bhe was divorced. Her second husband was Mr. Chauncey Burr, of New York City. Her third husband, Mr.

Burleigh, was tho truest friend she ever knew, and as his wife sho developed the flue traits of mind and oharacter which enabled her to gain and to hold so high a place in tho esteem of the better class of men and women everywhere. The union was marked by entire happiness, and both husband and wife were noted for their sacrificing devotion to one another. During his life time Mrs. Burleigh did the pub lio work which identified her name with the woman movement in this country. She lectured for some time, and did no inconsiderable amount of writing for the various magazines and papers.

She was the first President of the Brooklyn Women's Club, at ono time a Yice President of Sorosis. At tho lime of her death, and for a number of years previously, sho was a member of Mr. Chadwick's church in this olty, and both herself and her husband wore devotedly attaohed to the Unitarian Church a church to which Bhe finally devoted her last life service.

Mr. Desmond very excitedly olaimed that bit) bids were on hand before ten o'olook. He was a ottleen of Brooklyn and couldn't be cheated ont of his rights. Sup. Fisher said he looked at the City Hall clock before the box was olosed.

It was ten o'clock by it, and all had fair notice that the Committee would be governed by City HaU time.

SuporTfaor Fisher moved that Boperyieore Kane and Williamson bo appointed a committee to investigate whether the indications of the time of day on the faces of the City Hall clock eliffor from one another. Mr. Desmond said that there was no doubt that the clock varies every ten daya.

It was scarcely ever right, as they could find out from Mr. Hart who regulated the clock. But the tlmo to investigate the matter was when he first called their attention to the irregularities of the indications. Moreover, if they were determined to be bo technical in regard to his bids, they ought to bo so in reference to others. He noticed there wero Irregularities in other bids.

Supervisor Mclntyre assured him' that the Committee would inquire into all such matters before the awards were made. It was finally decided that the entire Committee should examine the clock. The Committee instructed the Storekeeper to procure supplies from tho present contractors until the contracts for next year are awarded, and, in case of their refusal to furnish them at the rates of their contracts, he was authorized to purchaso from the lowest bidders for the next fiscal year.

Neither of them could understand the boy's speech, and the impression of both waB that he was a German.

"Are you a German 1" tho reporter asked. "No, sir," replied, with a half smile; "1 camo from Cork." "I thought you wero either French or German," the roporter said; "can you speak English well 7" "Well, sir," the boy said; "I speak the way everybody speaks in Cork," During this short colloquy the reporter had a good opportunity to examine the lad closely. His face waB a handsome one. Every feature was well formed, tho eyes were dark and brilliant. The complexion waB as pure in its red and whito as that of a country girl.

The hair was dark and closely cropped, and tho faint outline of a mustache was visible. Tho lips were a bright red, and the teeth whito and regular. The lad's form was firmly knit, and he stood erect. His answers wero given with eyes cast down, aud iu a low tone. Hia clothes wero well worn, but clean and whole.

An old felt hat crowned his head, and his shoes were much the worse for wear. "What is it you want to know?" Mr. Snell asked. "I want to know how I can get into the Navy, sir," was his response. "Where did you come from?" the reporter inquired.

"From Cork, in Ireland, sir," the boy said, "How long have you beau hero 1 "About five days, sir." "What have you boen doing since you came hero?" "I've been looking for work, sir." "Did you bring any money with you?" "Very little, air. I paid my passage that was about all, Sir." "Where are you staying 9" "I've no place to stay in, sir. I slept in the Battery last night, sir, and Borne thieves took all the few pennies I had and my hat and hoots. A man gave ma these old boots and this hat this morning." "What did you work at in Cork?" "I was in the dry goods business, sir." "How old are you?" "I'm sixteen, sir." "You've run away from homo, haven't you?" "Yes, sir," in a low tone and with oyes oast down. "THE OLD SIOET, I SEE, got father and mother?" "I have, sir, in Cork." "Aren't you sorry you ran away from them?" "What's tho good, sir? Now I'm here, I want to work." "Have you had anything to eat to day?" "A man gave me some bread and a drink of water, sir." "And you want to go Into the Navy?" 'Deed I do, Bir; it Tl be work for me to do, ind I can earn something and may got on." That is the way to talk.

It is too late, however, to go to the Navy Yard to day, Here is something to help you." The reporter and Mr. Snell handed the lad a small sum. "What is your name?" the reporter asked. Patrick Donohue, sir," the lad replied. Aro you a Catholic "I am, sir." "Then come with me, and 111 take yon to a place where thoy'll give you good meals and a bed, and take care of you until Monday." The Eaolb reporter went down to the St.

Vincent Home for Boys, on Poplar street, accompanied by the lad. On reaching It, the courteous and kind hearted manager took charge of the boy, and promised to make his case known to the chaplain, the Bev. Dr. FrceL "I'm afraid," eaid tho reporter, "he's run away from a good home." "Well," was the reply of tho manager, who had been scanning the lad's features, "ho has the truth In his face, and he won't lie about it. He's a fine specimen ot a boy, and if ho does what's right he'll find friends, never foar," After a few words of encouragement and hope to young Patrick Donohue, the reporter withdrew, thankful that the lad was in such a temporary home.

ABOUT FURNITURE. James Johnston, a resident of Greenpoint, and his wife, have not lived on very amicable terms for some time past. In fact, he has only lived with her occasionally. Last Monday evening he was slightly under the influence of liquor, and while in this condition attempted to forcibly remove several articles of the household furniture. The wife remonstrated, but finding that ho paid no heed to her, she called in the assistance of a neighbor named Bobert Parris, Parris prevented him from removing the furniture, and a scuffle ensuod between them, which resulted in John Bton getting the worst of it, beside being put out on the Btreet.

He then mado complaint before Justice Elliott, and the arrest of ParriB was the consequenco. It is but justice to say that this is Parris' side of the Btory. Justice Elliott will try the case to morrow. SXEAK THIEF ARRESTED. The apartments of Valentine Zimmerman, at No.

142 Boerum street, were entered yesterday afternoon, by meaua of a Bkoloton key, by Bneak thief, who had secured several articles of jewelry previous to being detected on the premises. Mrs. Zimmerman came across the plunderer aud gave an alarm at once. The thief made for the Btreet, where he mado good time in hia endeavor to effect his escape. Pursued by Detective Ihne and citizens the fugitive ran several blocks, and was ultimately oaught in Ewen street.

He gavo his name as George Ware, Bald he lived in Broadway, near Eleventh street, but Is known to hail from Sixth street, New York. The jewelry, valued at $50, was found In Waro's possession, also a Bkeleton key. Justice Elliott told the prisoner for examination on Saturday. Peter Gaib, aged 33 years, and residing on McDougall street, while at work In Gill fe Beard's stone yard, this forenoon, got jammed between two large stones. A broken leg was the result.

He was taken to the Hospital in Ambulance No. 2, Dr. Lindloy. of Court and Joralemon streets, last night, to complete the arrangements for the reception of General Thomas S. Dakin on his return irom the international rifle matches.

There was a good attendance. Colonel Denslow was Chairman, and Captain E. J. Maxwell Secretary. Tho Chairman eaid that he had spoken with General Meserole in referenoe to the parade, and he said he would be glad to see a parade, but there was an objection to it on the ground of the expense of the music The General directed him to call this meeting to get the officers' views relative to it.

These wore well known, though, and he didn't sec any need of pursuing the subject further. Lieutenant Tombs moved to adjourn, they could not take any action to night. Captain Maxwell said he supposed the objoct of this meeting was not alone to consider the subject of a parade, but also to consider WHAT OTHER EEOEPTION could be tendered to General Dakin. It had been suggested by a good many officers of the Division and a good many citizenB that a very appropriate accompani, ruent to the parado would be a banquet. So far as the parade was concerned, it had been taken out of the hands of tho offloers by General Meserole.

Ho could refuse to order it, and nothing tho officers could say would have any weight in that quartor. It seemed to him proper for the officers of the Division to decide upon the other branch of the BUbjoct. Colonel J. H. Bergen did not agree with Captain Maxwell that General Meserole had taken tho parade out of their hands.

It seemed to him proven that the officers of tho DiviBion should meet here to decide upon the reoeption of General Dakin and what shape it should take. He did not see how in the natural order of things they could have a parado. They would have to keep the Division under arms twenty four, forty eight or sixty four hours, watching till the stoamer cornea with General Dakin. He believed that the reception should be mado general among tho men of tho Division and that it should not be confined to the officers, so that no fault might bo found. CoL Mojenburg said that ho did not believe the Acad emy of Music WOULD BE LARGE ENOUGH for the recoptton of Gen.

Dakin. He suggested a parado two or three days after his arrival. New STork would taVn earn nf liim on the dsv of his arrival. Col. Bergen said that if they did not have tho parade the day he arrived they would not be receiving him.

CoU Meyenburg believed in the parade first aud re ceptlon afterward. CoL Thompson then offered this resolution Resolved, That a Committee of 35 officors be appointed, whose duty it Bhall be to make all the necessary arrangement and preparation for the best reception of General Thomas S. Dakin, with full power and authority to receive and solicit Buoh subscriptions as shall be necossary to defray the expenses of a banquet; and such committee may appoint such sub committees as may bo necessary to acilitate this object, and to add thereto the names of BUch citizens as may be deemed proper and expedient. Here followed some little discussion on this resolution when Captain Perry moved to amend that the committee be empowered to BEOEIVE AND SOLICIT SUBSCRIPTIONS to defray the expenses of other than a parade, excepting to raise funds for music in case a parade be ordered, Innlilriinff haUQUet. 6t0.
