tO'i SPORTS AND PASTIMES. Btue Ball. Habttoed vs. Chicago. The match between the Chicago and Hartford clubs yesterday at Chicago proved to be a olosoly oontested and exciting Bame, In the fourth inning each side soored a run and after that blanks were scored until the close of thi ninth Inning, when it became too dark for fair play.

The soore Is as follows 1 3 8 4 6 8 7 8 9 THE LADDER TRAGEDY. A row Additional Facts About tbe machine and Its Operation. Of the ladder aooident in Now York yestorday afternoon, by which three firemen lost their Uvea and Beveral were injured, the readers of tho Eaolb were informed a few hours after the occurrence. But of the ladder itself some things remain to be written. The ladder was one of four which had been built at Conoord, N.

by the Abbott Downing Company, for $2,000. It was constructed out of the very lightest pine timber. In the year 1872 Mrs. Mary Belle Soott Uda applied to the Fire Department to Introduce her new invention of the "aerial ladder." Tha ladder was on four whools, and by using a oronk the hind wheels were brought forward, eaoh movement raising the height of tho ladder. Whon tho two hind wheels wero brought forward to the fore wheolB, tho height of the ladder Increased to about 100 oet, and then a "fly" was added, of about twenty five feet.

At the first exhibition of tho ladder in 1873, In the City Hall Park, a fireman named Leary, attaohod to Engine No. waa severely Injured by falling from tho "fly." Leary is now a member of No. 6 Truck, one of its members being killed yesterday. In course of time the "aerial ladder" was adopted by the Fire Department, and tho sum of $25,000 was paid to Mrs. Soott Uda for the privilege of building tho ladder.

Each ladder cost about $5,000, and one was built at the old Fire Department shops on Elizabeth street. The oxperimont yoaterday morning had been ordered by the chief, and the following men wero detailed to ascend the ladder William H. Nash, Chief of tho Fourth Battalion Philip Maus, of Truck No. 6 William Hughes, of Engine No. 9 Bobert Gould, of Engine No.

15 Thomas C. Lea, of Hook and Ladder No. 0 Cornelius J. Klngsley, of Engine Company No. 11 Cuslck, assistant forman of the chemical engine, and Jessie Patten, of Engine No.

15, eight in all. There waa a large crowd in attendance as early as eight o'clock. Nash, the chief of the battalion, and a very daring, reckless man, who never seems to have thought of danger, had, by way of a previous informal experiment, already raised the ladder at six o'clock in the morning and ascended to tho top. When tho hour for holding this llttlo exhibition arrived the square bounded by Canal street, East Broadway and Rutgers street was uncomfortably crowded. Among the more prominent spectators was Mrs.

Uda herself and Mr. White, the former Seoretary of the Fire Department. Whon the ladder was put together and raised to a height of ninety eight feet, Captain McElwaine noticed that it would fall upon the spectators in case of an accident, and therefore ordered his men to push the crowd baok, removing them all from tho possibility of bodily harm. Nash, the chief of the fourth battalion, gave tho order to ascend at a quarter to eleven o'clock, the putting together of the eight sections and raising of the ladder having consumed much time. Tho men, however, were somewhat uneasy, and seemed to be unwilling to execute the order.

Why, there's no danger exclaimed Nash, and he Ughtly mounted the ladder and began to ascend it with great rapidity. The others, whose names have olready been given above, wore sufficiently encouraged to follow him. It was their courago and pluck which plunged them into destruction, for it was only the first two who followed him quickly who met Nash's cruel fate. Theso two wore Maus and HugheB. When the latter two had passed above tho third section Nosh, who was a wonderfully rapid climber, was already on tho top of tho ladder and oalmly looking down upon the spectators from tho giddy height of ninety eight feet, and the five others were away behind below the third section.

THE BBEAE. It was just above this section of the aerial ladder that the break occurrod. The spectators wero admiring Nash's coolness and skill on tho top of the ladder when, to their great horror, they suddenly noticed a dangerous swaying to and fro of the light wooden structure that was Btandlng tbero ninety feet high and without any support whatever to insure the safety of the eight preolous lives upon it. Several women, pre Bumably tho wives or other relatives of tho men on tho ladder, gave a loud shriek, and Chief Batee, taking in at a glance the perilous aituation, instantly shouted tho order, "Come down 1" Tho men started to execute this order, and their pale faces and trembling figures were easily discernible from the ground. But it was too late.

There was suddenly a loud Bnap, the Iaddor broke at the third section and precipitated the thrco men who were still above it down to the ground and into eternity. PERSONAL. was not for him, he Bald, to enter Into newspaper oontroveiuy on a subject that concerned him purely in Ms official oapaoity. Aa to whether he thought Mr. Moulton had acted as a gentleman In publishing In imperfect form a letter that had been addressed to him as a matter of courtesy, Mr.

Britton deoiined to express any opinion. Tho facta were slated and peoplo could make their own inferences. As to the value of Mr. Moulton's protest, Mr, Britton was equally non committal, but informed the reporter that the propriety of entering a nolto prowgui Is a matter entirely for the District Attorney to decide. That he bad consulted the parties to the controvery in this instance waa due to the publio Importance of the controversy.

General Xracy. A reporter of the Eagle asked General Tracy what be thought of the controversy. The General replied that in his judgment Mr. Moulton can be convloted if the District Attorney will glvo the requisite time and labor to the case. So far as Mr.

Moulton's action was concerned, the General shrugged his shoulders and called it characteristic. "If," said the General, "there were nine men out of twelve thought Moulton and Tilton conspirators when they were sustained by the testimony of Mrs. Moulton, Is It not reasonable to suppose that the majority against them would be increased if their most important witness waa excluded from the stand aB she would be in a oriminal action." Mr. Moulton's Opinion ia that his letter to Britton is a devilish clever production, and that by it he has "scored one" on the Beecher crowd. Tho general opinion around the Court Houso this morning was that Mr.

Moulton is engaged, with the assistance of General Butler, in a little game of bluff. He knows that the publio are sick of the case, that there is little chance of the issue between him and Beecher over coming to trial, and profiting by this knowledge he proposes to pose a little before retiring to his proper obscurity. MUNICIPAL. The City Hall was a dull place to day, owing no doubt tothe meeting of the Democratic State Convention to morrow, at Syraouse. Nearly every prominent Democrat in and around the City Hall had packed his valise, ond accompanied the crowd which took the express train to Syracuse this morning, from the Grand Central Depot.

Tho Mayor, however, was at his office attending to business. An Eagle reporter asked him If he was going to the Convention. HIb reply was that there was no need of his going, as the Convention was in good hands, and would do what was square. He wished TJnclo Sam Tilden every success. He hoped he would get all the power he required to oarry on the good work.

The Special Committee on Labor composed of Aldermen Eenna, Connolly, Yanghan, Brown and Dwyer, called at tho office of the Commissioners of City Works to confer with them relative to the employment of laborers, but as the Commissioners were absent, the Committee adjourned to next Wednesday. THE OHABITIES INVESTIGATION. The State Commissioner in Lunacy has requested Mayor Hunter to name four gentlomon as a committee to assist him in making an inquiry into affairs at tho Kings County Lunatic Asylum. The investigation will be commenced wltbinten days. THE BEPAVEMENT OF DEAN STBEET.

Commissioners Woodward and Adams opened to day fourteen proposals for regradtng and repaying Dean street, from Court street to Fourth avenue. The lowest bidder was John Luke, who proposed to do the grading and paving for $1.17, new guttering for 12 cents, new curbing 43 cents, and the new bridge for 45 cents per running foot. His bid was rejeoted as informal, because his sureties had failed to mako the required affidavit. The highest bidder was Charles Hart. THE PABK COMMISSION.

There was to be a regular monthly meeting of the Park Commission last evening. The only Commissioners present were Messrs. 8tranahan and Haynes, and after waiting for some time they decided to adjourn for two weeks, when likely the other members of the Board will have returned to town from tho country.

COUKI NEWS. XIio Orchard Street Assessment. This morning the owners of property on Orchard street, between Van Cott and Norman avonues, assomblod bofore Justice Pratt, sitting at Special Term, for the purpese of hearing their counsel, Messrs. Still man Neville, argue in favor of their being roleased from paying for the ropavemont of the thoroughfaro already mentioned. It appears that by an act of the Legislators of 1870, the title to which appeared to relate exclusively to Van Cott avenue, the Common Council woo oloo onthorizea to grade and pave Orchard stroet.

In 1871 they took proceedings which resulted in the grading and paving of the street, at an expense of $22,000, and the improvement was completed by December, 1872; no objection to it was ever mado. Last Spring the assessment was confirmed, and a warrant was issued for its collection. The amount An Application to Admit Him to Bail. The Court Heserres its Decision This afternoon, Counselor James Eidgway moved before Justice Pratt In the Special Term of the Supreme Court, to admit Oflloer Joyce to bail." Mr, Bide way said that the Coroner had finished the investigation of the ease, and that the jury had rendered a verdict of death by culpable carelessness, or whet amounted to that. Tho pistol which oauaod GUmora'a death, was prematurely discharged, and at the moat it was only a case of manslaughter.

He hoped the Court would admit the prisoner to bail, and fix the amount within his reach. Tho accused had always borne a good character. He moved to admit Joyce to bail. ristrict Attorney Britton opposed the motion. He said he had grave doubts as to whether the caBewas one that admitted of bail.

Either it was manslaughter or murder in tho second degree. There was, he thought, but little material testimony that conflicted nearly all, he thought, boro directly upon the point, and showed that ihe firing was premeditated, whether the killing was or not. Mr. Britton then briefly reviewed the testimony of the witnesses taken before the Coroner, and argued fiat the conflict of testimony was very slight. The officer was not justified in firing the shot.

All tho testimony showed that he was but a few feet from the de ceaEcd, tho street was full of peoplo and tho man oonld not have escaped, and tho offense for which Gilniore was arrested was of tho moBt trivial character. Ho bought the caco did not admit of bail. Mr. Britton also cited the case of Conraddy to ehow that an officer is not justified in shooting down a man because he ib charged with a felony. The Court reserved its decision and remanded the prisiicrr until tc monow morning, when the question of bailing him will be decided.

TELEGRAMS. Financial and Other Matters in California. The Turkish Insurrection Nearly Suppressed Wife Mnrder Rifle Shooting, etc. San Fbanctsoo, September 14. A large number of members of the two big stock boards have gone on an excursion in a special train to Virginia City, Nevada.

The effort made at the Pacific Exchange yesterday to resume business found but few friends in tho San Fiiincifco Stock Board. Although it 1b well understood that members of both of tho big boards aro working directly through the little board, no formal resumption of business by either of the big boards is probable until the opening of the Bank of California and the Bank of Nevada. Revenue officials were around to day among tho wholesale liquor houses, examing tho books, which resulted in finding many Instances wherein packages of spirits guaged and reported at ten and twenty gallons each, had been thrown upon the market as containing from twenty to three hundred gallons. Moat of these were from the Pacific Distillery, whose officers were reported as having ihade affidavit of the destruction of their accounts up to tho 1st of July. The discoveries thus far made by the revenue officers indicate very extensive frauds, in which not only the dealers and distillers, but also the local revenue officers are believed to bo implicated.

Telegrams from the Revenue Department at Washington received here today announce the dismissal from the BOrvice of J. N. Diiscoll and F. M. Montell, U.

8. Gaugers, for complicity in the frauds. The Investigation is being actively pushed, and it is believed that the guilty parties will be brought to account witnout any further delay than the unearthing of the facts render necessary. From the "West. Si.

Dr. B. H. Linderman, Director of tho Mint at Philadelphia, arrived hero yesterday, accompanied by Prof. Rogers, of the University of Pennsylvania, from California, Nevada and Colorado, where he had been to gather information to aid him in selecting a location for a new mint.

He met a committee appointed hore some time ago to furnisn him with factB relativo to St. Louis aa a proper place for the mint, and was escorted by them through the present Custom House building with tho view to show how its adaptability to the purpose desired. He seemed to be favorably impressed with the eaBe with which the building could be altered to meet all the requirements of the mint. In the United States District Court at Jefforaon City, yesterday, Feineman rectifiers, of Kansas City, charged with violation of Revenue Laws in buying and selling crooked whiskey.withdrew the plea of not guilty and entered a plea of guilty, thus throwing themselves on tho mercy of the Government, John Shcehan, of St. Joseph, has done the same.

Fience of a Younfr Man Who Be camo Bookkeeper lo a Soap Company.

Two woeks sro Ooorgo bw an advertisement In the AVw York Herald for a applicants bMng rtin ctort lo aildross Herald offlco. Bciug aniious to advauco himself, Georgo thought he saw a chance, and applied for tho situation by lottor as dlrcctod In tho advertisement.

Ho promptly received on answer dlrcotlng him to appear on a certain day and hour at Room No. 183 Broadwoy, New York City, tho missive being signed 'Tho Coutr.il Soap Company." dcorgo wan at 189 Broadway promptly according to directions, and aftor ascending a flight of stairs, he camo to room No. 5, on tho gloss panel of tho door of whioh waa tho sign ''The Central Soap Compauy. William Crawshaw Co." Ho entered, and found within small office, scantily fnrulshed, and an individual who ropresontod himself to bo Mr. Crawshaw.

Mr. Crawshaw was very muoh in need of a bookkeeper, ho said, but as tho position was ono of great trur.t aud repoiislbiIUy, ho could not glvo it to any ono who would not deposit as security the sum of $500. Ho explained that hia factory was at another part of tho olty, that his busiuess was largo, and that his provious bookkeeper had absconded with a largo amount of monoy. for all of which reasons ho could not trust another bookkeeper without the security named. On the youug man Instating that ho could not doposlt tho sum demanded, Mr.

Crawshaw elicited from him who his friends and relatives wore, end urged thnt tho monoy oould bo rained from Borne of them, and provailod on the young man to try and do bo; but tn tho moaulimo ho would not hold tho situation for him unless ho deposited somo amount.

A. School of Minor Offenders. An Assault on Captain McLanghlln Habitual Drunkenness Fast Thieving, etc. This morning a young man named Edward Gallagher was brought beforo Justice Morse, chargod by Boundsman Lawson, of the Ninth Precinct, with having been intoxicated in tho vicinity of Tompkins avenue lost night, where he was also raising a disturbance. Tho Justice, after hearing tho roundsman's sworn testimony, committed Gallaghor to Jail for ten days.

As Gallaghor was being taken baok to tho cell tho roundsman told the Judge that ho believed thore was another ohorge of assault to be preferred against him by Captain McLaughlin. "What forT" asked the Justice. "This man," replied the roundsman, "kicked Captain McLaughlin in the stomaob, at the station house last night." "And where Is the Captain now?" "Ho is at Police Headquarters, and wilbe here in a few minutes." The prisoner wa3 therefore detained in the Court room until tho Captain made his appearance. He Bworo out a warrant of assault and battery. Gallaghor pleaded not guilty, and the case waa tried urthor.

The evidence showed that Boundsman Lawson had arroated Gallagher and had taken him to tho Gates avenue station houae. When there Gallagher got bo violent that It took throe polloomon and the Captain to hold him. Gallagher kiokod and tried to bito the offloer, and to provent this, Captain Laughlin got a pair of handcuffs and fastoned his wrists bo that he could make loss resistance. While he was in tho aot of putting them on Gallagher, the latter got his right foot freo and dealt the Captain a tremendous kick in the abdomen, injuring him Bovoroly. Other officers then came to tho assistance and Gallagher was firmly secured and carried by main force to tho colls and locked up.

Tho Captain ib ablo to bo around, but is suffering considerably from the injury ho received. JuBtice Morse, after hearing tho testimony, sentenced Gallaghor to three months In the Penitontiary In addition to his ten days in jail or intoiloation. The police state that Gallagher is well known to them and his reputation is not at all good. KATE MCDEBMOTT, a middleagod woman, with a florid faco and tawdry apparel, was brought up to tho bar on a chargo of being habitually drunk. It was preferred by Offlcur Koonan and the evidence fully sustained it, showing tho facts to bo that Kate vory eeldom drew a sober breath.

Justice Morse after Borne consideration, told Kato that ho would Bend her to an institution which wsb established on sound temperance principles and commuted her for four monthB to the Penitentiary. FAST DBIVINO, Officer James W. Webb, of tho Mounted Squad, laat night arrested a gontloman named Frank W. May, who was driving down Flatbush avenue in a horso and buggy at a speed that was not only too fast, but absolutely dangerous. Mr.

May explained to tho Judge that ho was guilty of tho charge preferred, but added that at the time tho officer overhauled him hifl horse was not under control, and that he checked the animal as qnlckly as ho could. Tho officer saying nothing to the contrary Justice Morso adjudged Mr. May guilty, but suspended sentence. A man Committed for Intoxication, Falls in a Fit in the Police Court Cell. This morning, shortly after Justice Walsh had disposed of tho cosos of drunk and disorderly characters which wore brought up beforo him, his attontlon was attracted by a loud aud continued knocking at the door of the cell which is attached to the pollco oourt.

Calling to Court Officer Michael Byan, tho Judge told him to go and see what was the matter, and tho latter did so. On opening the coll door, Officer Ryan found that one of the prisoners, who had been committed for intoxication for ton days to Eaymond Btreet Jail, was on the floor and in a bad fit. His limbs were working convulsively, and ho was moaning very bad. Tho offloer brought tho man, Hugh Tobin, out of the cell into tho passageway, so that he could get mora air, and at onco Bent a messengor over to Police Headquarters to telegraph for the ambulance from tho Long Island College Hospital. This was done, and before five minutes had elapsed the ambulance, with Surgeon Fisher, had arrived at tho Court.

It was found that Tobln when he fell In tho fit had struck tho side of his head against the stone floor of the cell, and a severe gash was the result. Tho blood was flowing freely when the physician arrived. The usual remedies and restoratives were administered, and in about fifteen minutes Tobiu recovered sufficiently to sit up. His wound was then sewed up, his head bandaged, and, aftor he had been pronounced all right by Dr. Fisher, Officer Ryan conducted him to the Black Maria to be taken to tho jail.

Tobln was arrested in the Second Precinct last night, and was vory drunk at that time. His fit was caused by hard drinking. THE HEIBS OF BEIILEN. Among the cases tried this morning in Jus tico Sender's Oourt was ono between tho heirs at law of the property In Soholes atroet, noar Bushwick avenue. This property consists of a number of tenement houses, and belongs, according to the will of Mr.

Boh len, to his son and his daughters, threo In number. Theso women are married respectively to a Mr. Ness, Mr. Kinck and Mr. Groo.

This laat named person for a number ol years, with the consent of the others, occupied ono of the houses without paying rent, and would have continuod in peaceful free occupation of it had not a slight misunderstanding arisen between him and Mr. Kinok. Mr. Groo ahd Mr. Kinck, a week ago, had a dispute about the payment of the taxeB and assessments on the house occupied by him.

Mr. Kinck, becoming angry during the discussion, told Mr. Groo to vacate the promises, and swore that he would oject him. Mr. Groo told him to do so.

Kinck at once consulted a lawyer, who greedily enapped at the case, and hurried at once with his complaint to Justico Somler. On the examination of the oaso it waa shown that Kinck had never consulted the other owners of the property, nor had he ever made any demand for the rent. This evidence was given by Kinck himself. As he told this, the Justice looked at the lawyer, who, by the by, had studied law in tho Justice's office, and said, This oaso is dismissed." Mr. Groo and Mr.

Behlcn, a they left the Court room, offered to bet Kinck's lawyer that if he dared to bring the case down to the Court Houso he would be beaten badly. Tho Justico, it is said, remarked that he had hoped his boys would make a better show of what they had studied. GEH1IAN DEMOCRATS. Last night, in the Sixteenth Ward, Williams burgh, there was a largely attended meeting of German Democrats and taxpayers, which was held for the purpose of forming a German Democratic Tilden Club. Therefore over seventy names enrolled.

Major Timmes called the meatlng to order and deolared the object of the Club to be only to place honest and capable men In the Sold for ward officers at the coming election. The following gentlemen were then elected officers of the Club President, Joseph Herto Vice President, Jacob Kraemer; Secretary, Joseph Lanby, and Troasurer, Joseph Wolf. On motion it waa resolved to hold a meeting every Wednesday evening. On motion Mr. Henry Seller was proposed and unanimously accepted bb a candidate for tho aldermanship of the ward, while Mr.

William Zink was Indorsed for Supervisor. Both gentlemen appeared at the meeting shortly after and promised, if eleoted, to look after the Interests of thoir constituents and the taxpayera of the ward. The meeting then adjourned to meet on the 33d inst. E. D.

TUCSEB CADETS. On Monday night the Turner Cadets of the Eastern District will celebrate the tenth anniversary of their organization at Turn Hall, No. 59 Moserole street. An attractive entertainment will tm furnished in an exhibition drill on the occasion. POISONED FOWLS.

Philip Miller, a dealer in poultry and produoe, keeps a large number of fowls on his premises in Man jer streot, near Lorimer, and within two weeks has lost eighty chickens and ducks by polBonlng. He was led to believe that meal mixed with phosphorous, a quantity of which he found in his yard, was placed there by his neighbors, Sebastian Sohuaderbaeh and son August. A friend of Miller on Monday Informed him that he had that day seen a hand and arm protruding from a window of the Schuaderbach domicile, and some material resembling the mixed meal in color dropped to the ground. Upon a warrant issued by Justice Eames, at Miller's complaint, the Schuar derbacha (father and son) were arrested, and to day appeared in court. They waived examination to go before the Grand Jury.

It appears that tho accused formerly leased tbe lot and derived a considerable rovenuo therefrom. This they lost last Spring when Miller leased the lot, and he suspects that they have taken revenge upon him in the manner above described. Both the accused deny having a hand in the poisoning, MASONIC DEDICATION. The new Masonic Headquarters in the Sixteenth Ward in the German Savings Bank Building, at the junotion of Broadway and Boerum Btreet, occupied by Ottman's and Star of Hope Lodges, will be dedicated with Masonic riteB to morrow evening. Grand Master of the State Elwood Thorne and officers of tho Grand Lodgo will direct the exercises.

A banquet at Turn Hall will be the concluding feature of the event. CADNUSTATTEB FOLKS FEST. The Schwabianharvest festival, inaugurated on Monday, at Myrtle avenue Park, and now in progress, will be continued to morrow. Despite tho bad weather at ita inception and threatened rain on both days, thus the park has been thronged with pleasure seekers who, generally speaking, havo been well entertained. The fruit monument erected not far from the park entranoe, is a moat artistio production and well worth seeing.

Yesterday's programme was exceedingly entertaining, especially the parade of mounted knights, representing the soldiers of ancient Wurt emburg, led by Felix Kramer, in malLas General Spitz burger. Mayor Hunter was present, mado a speech, and expressed himself delighted with the demonstration and its auxiliary attractions. For the time being he seemed quite as muoh a German, and entered into the spirit of the occasion as did many another American, with as muoh guBto as a genuine native of Fatherland. Unless rain Bhould put an end to the festivities there will bo danoing to night until the witchirtg hour of midnight, and to morrow a wind up with a society dinner. A DRUNKEN FALL.

Wood, Sam. Creamer are in full force, and are working hard for admission on the delegation to represent New York City in tho Convention. Morrissey is contesting only the Fourth, Eleventh and Fifteenth districts, Tho regular Tammany delegations, headed by John Kelly, will be up this afternoon. The New York City contest will be referred to the Committee on Contested Seats, who will hear representatives of each party. Morrissey says he will speak for himself.

Tom Creamer and Ira Shaffer will speak for the anti TammanyiteB. THE PBEV AILING OPINION iB that the regular Tammany delegates will bo admitted. Morrissey has a number of friends among the country delegates, but they will not go so far as to support him in his efforts to become tho party leader in New York City, or, as Creamer said this morning, "John Morrissey has lots of friends throughout tho State, but when they see he wants to be the leader they will go back on him. He is in the position oi O'Brien when Jimmy ran for Mayor he had lota of friends who shook him by the hand bofore election, but when election day came they went dead against him." The Convention promises to be a quiet one. There has been a good deal of talk about trouble, but tho Morrissey and the Wood Creamer party leaders see the necessity of being orderly.

Second Dispatch TUo Candidates. Sybaodse, n. 1 P. M. The crowd has been increased by the arrival of more of the country delegates, and a new set of candidates has loomed up Clarkson N.

Potter, of Westchester, for Secretary of State; Allen C. Beach, of Jefferson, for Controller; Chaa. N. Robs, of Auburn, for Treasurer; Daniel Pratt, for Attorney General; Abram Weaver, for Canal Commissioner, and Sam. P.

McElroy, of Brooklyn, for Engineer. The friendB of Governor Tilden say that this Bmacks of the canal. The anti Tammany party are working upon tho country delegates, but with poor prospect of success. Creamer says that this is the last term that his party will trouble a State Convention if they are rejected now. They will appeal to the next National Convention.

Third Despatch Tlic Ticket as it Looked at 3 P. HI. SIBAODSE, 3 P. M. There has been little talk over the probable candidates of the Convention.

There is a general desire to act in harmony with the wishcB of Governor Tilden and a determination to support him in his warfare against the canal ring. None of the canal men have yet appeared. Jarvis Lord and Willard Johnson are noticeable by their absence. Apgar is now Deputy Treasurer, and his enemies say they have cnongh against him to beat him. Horatio Seymour, having decided not to accept the nomination as State Engineer, the contest now lies between tho present Deputy, D.

M. Green, and Prof. of Cornell University, with the chances in favor of Green, Canal Commissioner Stroud is here looking after a renomination. He will be laid on tho Bhelf The indications are that Hon. John Bristow will be renominated for Secretary of State, L.

Kobinaon, of Hlmira, for Controller, and Fairchild for Attorney General. Fairchiid is now the deputy of Attorney General Pratt, E. K. Apgar, of TompkinB, has been named for Treasurer, but he is strongly opposed. Robert H.

Waterman, ol Albany, appears to be the coming man. For States Prison Inspector the talk is in favor of Z. C. Priest, of Herkimer, and John Shea, of Schenectady. P.

Dey, of Schuyler, is the most prominent candidate fdr Canal Commissioner. Hon. George T. Comstock, of this place, will, it is thought, be temporary or permanent Chairman of the Convention. Tho question of both Chairmanships will be settled to night.

Charles Wheaton, of Duchess, and Hon. John J. Taylor are also mentioned for Chairman. THE PLATPOBM will bo substantially a reaffirmation of that of last year. A strong hard money plank will be inserted despite the inflation talk, and the desire of some to follow the lead of Ohio and Pennsylvania.

MorrisBey is favoring inflation all around the Vanderbilt House. Governor Tilden will not be here, but will bo represented by Senator Kernan. Mr. Keman will be up this afternoon. The State Central Committeo will meet to night and matters will then assume a more definite shape.

There is a report that Morrissey and the other contestants will be refused tickets of admission to the Convention floor, but this is generally regarded as improbable. All will be allowed on at first, and when the contest is referred to the Committee, they will be excluded until they report. James R. Aliaben, of your city, iB Lere. Also T.

Ex Attorney General Barlow is endeavoring to have arrangements made for argument on the appeal from the decision of the General Term of the Supreme Court, denying a change of venue in the Kelsey case, heard at the opening of the Court of Appeals the latter part of this month, eo that if the decision below is sustained, the cases can be tried at the October term of the Buffolk County Oyer and Terminer. If this is not done, the Governor will be petitioned for an extraordinary term to try the cases, as soon as argument can be heard and the decision handed down. BEATEN OK THE HIGHWAY. Last night Justice Bennett, of Jamaica, leaned a warrant for the arrest of Frederick Hopp a car driver on the Jamaica, Woodhaven ana Brooklyn horae car line, on the complaint of a farmer named Fisher, who lives at Queens. Ho was returning from market, driving in the track, and the first intimation ho had of the presence of tho horse car, was by receiving a stunning blow between tho eyes from tho butt of a whip, in the hands of the horse car driver, who got down from his seat and climbed into tho farmer's wagon to beat him, because he would not get out of the track to let him pass.

Tributes to tlie Late Judge Woodruff. Meeting' of tbe Members of tbe Bar in tbe U. S. Conrt Speeches hy George W. Hoxle, Benjamin.

D. SilUman, General Crookc, N. F. Waring and Judge Benedict. Athalf day the U.S.

Circuit and DiBtrict Courts were formally opened by Judge Benediot. The attendance of members of tho Bar was unusually large, among those in attendance being General Orooke, B. D. Silllman, W. W.

Haws, H. N. Walker, Charles Jones. Beturns of processes were made to several motions issued to the Marshal and a number of routino motions made in Admiralty and bankruptoy matters. George W.

Hoxio, Assistant United States District Attorney, then moved that out of tho respect to the memory of THE LATE JUDGE WOODBOTT, tho Court adjourn until to morrow. In making the motion, Mr. Hoxie spoke aa follows May rr Please the Codbi I rise to make a motion, which, I am eure, will not only meet with tho cordial approval of the Court, but with tho heartfelt sympathy of the members of the bar now present. A few days ago, the sad tidings reached us of the death of Lewis B. Woodruff, the honored Judge of this Second Judicial Circuit.

But yesterday, his bereaved family and friends, and many of those who loved him and revored his memory, attended his funeral rites and accompanied his remains to their tomb. It seems certainly fitting hore, upon the arena of many of his labors and much of his UBcfulnesa that some suitable recognition be taken of this mourniul event. I therefore move, your Honor, that In view of the exalted office and personal character of the the District and Circuit Courts of this District; do now adjourn until to morrow at 12 o'clock. And that a record thereof be entered upon tho minuteB by the Clerk. It is with more than tho ordinary feelings which commonly prompt formality that this motion 1b made.

In the death of Lowis B. Woodruff tho bench has lost one of its purest and brightest ornaments, our jurisprudence one of its most laborious and learnod expounders, and our country one of its moBt patriotio and useful citizens, I am euro I do not overstate the estimate in which Judge Woodruff was held by the members of the profession, when 1 say that in him seem to nave been united those uncommon endowments of mind and heart which are essential in tha perfect Judge, to as great a degree as it has been common to find, certainly in the age in which we live. To an extraordinary robust common Bense, he united the logical faculty to that degree which enabled him to Belzo with readiness and unerring certainty upon the real point in controversy, and to distinguish it from all extraneous Issues. But beyond and above theBO mental gifts, it is something to say of a Judge what can truthfully bo eaid of him, that in a judicial career of nineteen years no one, oven in thought, over questioned the purity of hia motives or the religious consoientiouBneBB with which he used the power whioh had been delegated to him. This it is for whioh we honored and loved him.

This it is which will keop his memory green In the hearts of the people. HON. BENJAMIN D. SILUMAN then said Mai it Please Youb Hokoe The motion made by the District Attorney, and which I beg to second, ia one which has the earnest concurrence of oil the bar, and will doubtless be equally approved by the Conrt. We sadly pay the last trlbuto of affection and respeot, to our departed friend and brother.

His life was ono of goodness and of usef ulnesB, and his record and example are choice treasures of the profession. Judge Woodruffs career has been eteady, progressive and distinguished, from his youth to hia death. From hifl graduation at Yalo Colloge In 1830, to hia elevation to the last high office which he filled with such dignity and efficiency, his journey of life has been marked by unbroken professional usefulness and auccess, and woll merited advancement. As a practicing lawyer, he became early conspicuous for his learning, his energy, his ability, and his efficiency. During part of that timo, ho was the copartner of thit great lawyer George Wood, of this city, who was princeps, at the head of the profession.

Judge Woodruff's first judicial position was on tho Bench of the Common Pleas in New York. He was subsequently elected to tho Superior Court of that city, and afterward held a Beat in the Court of Appeals. It is not necessary to say in this presence what we all so well know, appreciate, and feel, that never was the ermine worn by a purer, or more upright judge. The volumes of reports in our libraries contain, and will long preserve, the record of his profound learning and judicial ability and wisdom. His appointment to tho office of United States Judge of this great circuit waa tho highest evidence that could bo given of the estimate in which his ability and his worthiness as a judge were held, and no stronger testimony could bo given of his pro eminence in every quality of tho judicial character than the fact that at a later period he was deemed by all to be worthy tho position now so woll filled by tho Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

No one better knows than your Honor, who has been so muoh officially associated with him, how faithfully and with what untiring ability Judge Woodruff performed the duties of the exalted station which he held at the time of his death. I had almost said that HE PEBFOBMED THESE DUTIES TOO FAITHFULLY, for I fear that the unceasing, unsparing devotion to them of all his powers, and his self denial of duo rest and recreation, may have shortened his days. Perhaps I have no warrant for saying this beyond my own apprehensions, often and earnestly expressed to him, In the way of friendly caution, of what would be the result of such extreme devotion to his Judicial duties; but I much fear that the prophecy has bad ulfillment. No man could be more conscicncioUBly faithful in the performance of duty. His whole professional and judicial Ufa waa one of great power and constant labor.

The dawn of day often broko on his toll of the night. While anything remained to be done, he always deemed his immediate task unfinished. Nil actum reputans dum aliquid super asset agendum. His grand and massive frame, and grand and massive mind, were in harmony. The dignity of his boating was perfected by his amenity, and seoured for him at once the respect and attachment of tho profession.

As a general meoting of tho bar Is to be held this afternoon, to oxpress their estimate of Jud ge Woodruffs character, and their sorrow for his loss, it is perhaps proper that I should say no more at this time but I cannot forbear a single allusion to one of Mb most prominent traits. I will refer tQ his honesty. By tbiB I do not mean the commonplace, every day, matter of course honeBty, which contents itself with merely refraining from dishonest acts or words, but to that deep senso of integrity, of truth, and of right, which ia aggressive, and which will not permit dishonesty in others. That which was not strictly right and just, and true, found not only no favor but no tolerance with Judge Woodruff. Any case, any party, any witness and any man in any other relation, lacking in these respects, had nothing to hope, but much to fear from bhu.

With great flrmneBs and' on due occasions, great austerity of manner, his heart waa full of the warmeBt sympathies, and the gentlest and tenderest affections and Benaibilities. It abounded in all that waa noble, and all that was generous and kind, and few men bad warmer friends, or were warmer in their friendship than he. If the timo and ocotalon permitted, I should gladly speak more at length of the intellectual and professional character of our brother who has been taken from us, but as that will be dono at the meeting to be held this afternoon, I will not further occupy tho atttention of the Court than by seconding tho motion which has been made by the District Attorney. General Crooke then spoke of his friend of thirty years' Btandlng, when Judge Woodruff was quite a young man. To say that he was juBt and true and honost, and pure in all he did, was but light it would be but occupying the time of the Court to say more.

N. F. Waring said ho could add but little to what had been said to the honor of the man, who was dead and gone. He became acquainted with him when he was a Btudont. and to say the truth of him was to Bay.ner fides, and that he thought would be a proper motto to put upon his tomb.

Judge Benedict said the news of the death of Judge Woodruff was received by him with great sorrow, and the loss which had beon sUBtaiued by the members of the bar and alio by the Bench or the United States Courts, waa fully appreciated. He had learned know the man, and every day increased his admiration and respect for him as a man, a lawyer, and a judge. The official acquaintance ripened into a friendship, so that he felt it as a personal loss, and could say that the loss of such a man was a great loss, and because of his exalted character and the position he filled, the District and Circuit OourtB would stand adjourned until to morrow at twelve o'elook, and a record of the event would be made on the minutes. Tha Court then adjournsd. GBEErfE AVENUE PBESBYTEBIAS CHUBCH.

At half past eleven o'clock last night Park Policeman Koranowaki, while patroling Washington Park, near the Willoughby avenue entrance, saw a man and woman acting In a disorderly manner.

Moulton Dancing Over its Carcass. Some Correspondence Between District Attorney Sr. Beecner and Mr. Moiilton as to tbe Propriety of Giving the Corpse a Qalet Burial The Mutual Friend Objects and Insists Upon a Wake. The public ara aware that Francis D.

Moul ton was indicted last Fall by a Grand Jury of this County, for libeling Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, but Thoodore Tilton's civil suit involving the eame issues as the indictment raised, was commenced previous to that time, and was held to justify tho non trial of the indictment until after the civil suit was settled. Mr. Moulton's lawyers took this view of the case, and Judge Beynolds before whom the question of priority was raised concurred. Since the civil suit was disposed of, Borne little curiosity haa been shown by the publto as to the fate of the criminal action.

It now appears that District Attornoy Britton seeing the inconclusive ending that the civil suit had, and knowing that all the evidence in existence on the issuo was presented to the jury in that case is of opinion that a criminal trial would servo no good purpose, and that the proper thing to is to enter a nolle prosequi. Of this opinion he notified Mr. Moul ton and Mr. Beecher, and the subjoined correspondence shows with what offect. In some of the morning papora Mr.

Britton's letter to Mr. Moulton and Mr. Moulton's reply, furnished by Mr. Moulton are published, but Mr. Beecher's letter is omitted.

The entire correspondence however is hero given: Mr, Britton's Letter to Mr, Beecher. offioe of thb distbict attobnkt, kings Room 3, County Codbt Hoube, Brooklin, August 21, 1876.) Bev. Benry Ward Beecher Dear Sib There is in this offioa an indictment, founded upon your complaint ami testimony, against Mr. Francis D. Moulton for HbeL based upon publications by him regarding yourself.

It was not at once disposed of, awaiting the result of a civil action in tho eame court brought by Mr. Theodore Tilton against yourself involving substantially the same question. The trial of that case continued six months, terminating in July last by a disagreement of the jury. At its conclusion, in accordance with custom pending the Summer heat, the Court adjourned its Jury term, civil and criminal, until September. The time now approaches whon it is incumbent on me to make disposition of this indictment.

As a publio officer, representing to tho best of my ability the interest of the peoplo only, I am, and can be, no party to the personal controversy connected with these matters. On behalf of the people only I am called upon to act. I have, therefore, given the subject serious and conscientious reflection, and the following considerations present themselves, suggestive that the public interests would bo best served by moving for a yolle prosequi in this case. Substantially the Issue herein involved was tried in the civil action, and after a protracted and most exhaustive investigation the jury disagreed. On a trial of this indictment unlike that of tho civil case the well established principle that the accused is entitled to the BENEFIT OP A BEASONABLE DOUBT will apply; and the probability of an agreement for conviction will be thereby lessened, and It ia but reasonable to assume that in tho absence of additional evidenceof the existence of which I am not informed a jury will be no more favorable to the case of the peoplo In the orlmlnal proceedings than to that of tho defendant in the civil action, and will not be likely to convict, nor probably to agree.

The trial will involve much valuable time of a Judge of the Court, to the exclusion of other business pressing for disposition, and will also be of great expense to the county. It will be very difficult, if not impracticable, to obtain in this county a jury qualified by law to sit. I have omitted including among these considerations the effect upon public morala of another trial of the issues involved in this matter, as perhaps this may not be a proper subject to influence my action. Not intending to express or intimate any personal opinion upon the merits' of this controversy, I am constrained by these facts to invite the views of yourself and Mr. Moulton upon this Bubject, and to submit to your judgment whother it will not bo better that the trial of this indictment should not take place.

Any suggestions which you may think proper to make will receive careful consideration. I am, very respectfully, WrNOHEsiEU BnrrroN, District Attorney. Mr. Beecher's Reply. Twin Movtmxx Hones, August 30, 1875.

Wineheiter Britton, Esq. Deae Sib Your letter commending to my attention certain considerations which incline you to relinquish the criminal suits against Mr. Moulton and Mr. Tilton waa duly received and considered. I think that the views which you present are sound and wise.

It would Boem to be axiomatic that no suit should be carried on in which neither individuals nor society can hope for benefit. Should you in your farther discretion enter a nolle prosequi I believe all right thinking citizens will regard your act with approbation, whon made aware of tho reason of your decision. I am, dear sir, Sincerely yours, Henbv Wabd Beeoheb. Mr. Britton to Mr.

Moulton. Office of the District Attorney, Kinob Countx," Rooh 3, Countv Court House, Bbookltn, September 11, 1875.J Cur Coukt op Bbooemn. The People, vs. Francis D. Moulton.

Francis D. Moulton Deab Sin 1 herewith enclose capy of a letter forwarded by mo to the Kev. Henry Ward Beecher. I may properly say that Mr. Beechor, in reply, concurs in tbe disposition of this case as suggested by me.

I submit to you whether, foi the reasons st itcd, you should not also acquiesoe in the action propossd. Before determining tho matter I await the expression of your views. Very respectfully, Winohesteb Bbittoh, District Attorney. Mr. Moulton'H Reply.

Bbooklyn, Septembor 13, 1875. Deab Sib Your favor of tho 11th, enclosing a copy of your lettor to the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, was duly received, and in roply I bog to do olaro at onco that 2 oannot ''acquiesoe in the action proposed." With this polite but peremptory protest the withdrawal of the indictment, I would be content to terminate our correspondence, but your note invites an expression' of my views, and more particularly chaliongesmy judgment aa to tho "sufficiency of the reasons stated" to justify your contemplated action, and as an omission to respond to your suggestion might De imputed to some motive ol studied lnclvmty, I proceed with candor, but in all courtesy, to comply with your request. In discussing the considerations that determine you to abandon the prosecution, you and I contemplate the subject In different aspects and relations. As a sworn officer of the government you are permitted to look only at the public interests, and to be controlled exclusively by a sense of official duty; whereas a priyato citizen, indicted of a criminal offense, will be pardoned if I pursue the course best calculated to vindicate my own innocence.

It will not be BurprUung, therefore, nor will it imply any disparagement of your understanding, if your "reasons" fail to impress me as decisively as they appear to affect yourBelf I. You are correct, no doubt, in your calculation of the chances of a verdict for the prosecution; but is not the acquittal of the innocent as much an object of your duty and yonr solicitude as the conviction of the guilty? I am no lawyer, and, therefore, you will oxcuse my error if I have supposed the spirit of our jurisprudence to be such that It exhibits more alacrity in signalizing the innocence than tho criminality of the citizen, and that the moBt grateful duty of the public proseoutor is to be instrumental in making reparation to the unjustly accused. In my laie ignorance I had imagined that the District Attorney represents as well the defendant as the people, and with this ImpresBion I have rested safe in the assurance that he would not suffer the machinery of the law to be employed for my destruction, but would, when he found me the victim of false and malicious prosecution, hasten to give me the vindication of a publio acknowledgement of my innocence, or else of a formal acquittal by a Jury of my countrymen. Less than this Is not the full measure of my rights; less than this I disdain to accept. II.

That the trial of the indictment against me will involve a heavy publio expense and obBtrnet other exigent business of the courts, Is an objeetion that SHOTJLD HAVE BEEN 00N8IDEBED at an earlier stage of the proceeding; and have availed to prevent your predecessor permitting the powers of the District Attorney's office to be prostituted to the purposes of the Kav. Henry Ward Beeeher In his controversy with Mr. Tilton. I have been accused of crime in tho name of the people; I have been compelled to plead as a culprit: I hare been held to bail for nearly a year; and surely it iB too late for the representative of the people in the prosecution to deolineto yield to my demand for a trial, on the ground that the trial would be a vexatious and oppressive burden upon the people What other expenditure can be more legitimate and laudible than that incurred in vindicating the Innocence of a man against whom the people have been betrayed to institute an unfounded prosecution? What superior interest can engage the attention and the time of the courts than the duty of absolving from unjust accusation a citizen against whom hitherto has not been heard a whisper of suspicion or reproach? To me it aeenui scarcely consistent with the magnanimity of a great people to plead poverty and the pressure of other engagements aa an excuse for denying a trial to one whom they have falsely arraigned and oppressively pursued. III.

The impossibility of impaneling a Jury in this community ia a difficulty, I am advised, that may easily be evaded by changing the venue to another county. IV. Although you do not formally enumerate among the reasons that may determine your action a consideration of the "effoot upon publio morals of another trial of the issues involved in this matter," yet your reference to the topio plainly reveals its Influence on your judgment. Bat why should this effect, if such there be, operate to 'deprive me of my constitutional right to a speedy and impartial trial 1 It is not but my accuser, the Bev. Henry Ward Beecher.

who committed adultery with Mrs. Elizabeth B. Tilton, and so gave oooasion to this nolBome scandal. It waa not I who first obtruded the revolting story before the public; but, on the contrary, through three long years I labored with indefatigable endeavor and an unfaltering fidelity to suppress It and at last I was compelled to speak reluctantly, in self defense, to repel an Infamous charge of blaokmail, which, in his desperation, the Bev. Henry Ward Beecher leveled against me.

Why now should I alone be sacrificed to the policy of silence? This present indictment was not of my instigation, but is the work of the Bev. Henry Ward Beecher, and whatever depravation of publio morals may ensue from its trial must be impnted to him, and not to the innocent victim of his calumnious accusation. But, I do not allow that the interests of publio morality will be hurt by an investigation of the Bev. Mr. Beecher's guilt.

The time was when I thought, and I acted on the conviotion, that the cause of Christianity and of virtue would be promoted by the concealment of his criminality but events have demonstrated, what indeed I should have known antecedently, that it is not within the economy of God's providence that any interest, either of morals or policy, is ever impaired or retarded by the investigation and proclamation of truth. As I understand it, harm can oome of this transaction only In consequence of an APPABENT IMPUNITY nd privilege vouchsafed to ministers of the Gospel to revel in the unhallowed pleasures of concupiscence whereas, on the contrary, the welfare of religion ana society will be secured by lndissolubly linking to the offense its inevitable penalty of exposure and retribution. In the circumstances of the affair, be they ever so copiously detailed, will be found everything to disgust and repel, and nothing to bewitch or attract and, except there be a miscarriage of jnstioe, of which, bow ever, you have evidently no apprehension, I cannot conceive the possibility that the publio morals will be affronted by the proof of the Bev. Henry Ward Beeoh er's adultery. I am indicted of libel in charging the Bev.

Henry Ward Beecher with oriminal intercourse with a female member of his congregation. The charge is true he knows it to be true and, whatever the imperfections of man's tribunals, the Supreme Buler wiU some day reveal the truth and vindicate the right. For speaking the truth, and nothing but the truth, and that, too, under challenge and in defenao of my own character, and the character of her whoso good name is dearer to me than life itself, I havo been arraigned as a criminal, compelled like a felon to plead with uplifted hand, subjected to the ignominy of bonds against an escape from justice, loaded with obloquy by the publio press, frowned upon and avoided by society and now, after tile indictment against me has served Its purpose by discrediting in advance a witness of the Bev. Mr. Beecher's guilt, and it Is apparent to you, aa ft is to the world, that I am innocent and moat be acquitted at this moment and under these circumstances, I am re nested to "acquiesce" in nolle prosequi and to safer my aocaser to escapo the penalty of his perjured prosecution Never, eir, never! I demand a trial, and shall be ready, on any reasonable notice, to make good my defense.

Very respectfully, Fbahoib D. Moumoh. The Bon. Winehater Britton, District Attorney, ice, itc. The District Attorney.

The Local Officers in a Quandary What Are They Goiuff to Do About It 2 Yesterday af fcornoon nt throe o'clock, Messrs. Fred.

Tostevan, Wm. J. Ray, Fetor Kennedy. John Tierney and Kdward Dunn, tho Committeo of tho Board of Trusteos of tho New Lots FJra Department, appointed to turn over the apparatus of tho various companies to tho Board of Town Officers, met with tho lattor at tho Town Hall, East New York, and formally tendered to tho town the engines, hoHe, truck, lately in ubo by the firemen. Mr.

Tostovan, in an address, mado surrender of tho machines, and on motion of Justice Gcrtum, seconded by Justice Howard, the apparatus was aocoptod, and the thanks of tho Board wero tendered to the Committeo. The Supervisors and JiiBtiuos Gertutn, Wolfort, Sponcer and Howard, with Town Clerk Henry Lubs, then aecdmpanicd the delegation to tho housos wherein tho tuachinos are kopt, and formally took possession of them. On returning to the Town Hall, they proceeded to consider the most expedient plan of continuing to the town some syatom of protection against fire until the next session of tho LogiBlaturo, whon it is contemplated to seek a new charter and form another volunteer organization, from which tho rowdy clement, that onterod bo largely into tho membership of the lato companies, shall bo rigidly excluded. Supervisor Van Siclon stated to tho Board that it would be necessary, if possible, to continue tho operation of tho present char tor. Tho Department had contracted debts, aggregating about $160, for which tho town was responsible.

If tno charter was allowed to lapse, thero would be no means of paying this monoy, as nono but tho Treasurer of tho Department was authorized by law to draw tho appropriations mado for Are purposes. A practicable moans of CONTINUING THE ORGANIZATION and effectually remodeling it would bo for tho Board to appoint a number of respectable citizens as firemen, who, in turn, would form a company and elect representatives to the Board of Fire Department. The representatives in tho Board from tho late companies could then resign, and ieave those who represented tho new company in possession of the books and tho seal of tho corporation. Justice Spencor supported the plan suggested by tho Supervisor, It was the most feasiblo and practicable that could be adopted. Judge Wolfert thought that tho turning ovor of tho machines by the Department was a virtual disbanding of the organization, Tho Board had nothing to do with fire matters, if tbe Department continued to exist.

Mr. Bay, of tho Committee of Department Trustees, said that his board had adjournod to meet two wecfcB from tho night of Monday last, In order to givo tho officers of tho town an opportunity for taking stopB to continue the charter. It was not tbe intention of tho firemen to continue their organization. Justice Howard thought tho boat plan would be to appoint a member from each of tho lato companion, to organize new companies, who could elect members to tho Board of Trustees aB representatives from now organizations. Supervisor Van Stolen Practically, your suggestion rehabilitates tho Department without In any way affecting ita morale.

I think that would bo a very wrong course. Town Olerk Lubs said the question was of vory grave Importance, and he hardly thought they were prepared to deal with it without moro mature deliberation. Tha eyes of the peoplo of the town wore upon them, and they would be held reeponBiblo for any mistake. He thought they Bhould ADJOURN FOB A DAY or two and meantime consider tho mattor. Justico Wolfert moved that the Supervisor bo authorized to take the advice of counsel ou tho question as to whether the act of turning over the apparatus was not a virtual disbanding of tho Department.

After Borne discussion, the motion was carried. Justice Oertnm said ho did not bollove in allowing the Board to bo at tho meroy of tho Trustees of tho Fire Until thoy disbanded and gave up all claims to be firemen of the Town of New Lots, the Board could do nothing. An adjournment was thou agreod upon, until Friday eYeuing nezt, at 8 o'clock. LOCAL BREVITIES. The Pin Knights and the Athletio Bowling Clubs have arranged to play a match gamo on Friday night.

JULIA MATTHEWS' COMIC OPEKA TBOCPE. The initial attraction of the new management of the Brooklyn Theatre will be the Julia Matthews' Comio English Opera Troupe. A better choice could not havo boen made. The troupe is a complete one, led by a prima of undoubted ability, supported by unusually good artists. The operas they produoe have been carefully weeded of all that suggestiveness which French recklessness bestowed upon many of them.

Their light, graceful melodies, accompanied in their delivery by gay yet chaste acting, make up one of the most delightful entertainments the present season is likely to possess. This company commenced operations at Wallack's three weeks ago, and extorted from the press of New York more unqualified euloglum than la usually bo stowed on any entertainment. The chief merit of the troupe is the excellency of the subordinates, and the perfect discipline which enables them to increase, in lieu of weakening, the effects achieved by the principal The tenor is good, the baritone excellent both as actor and singer, the chorus is full and hearty. The costumes are fine and admirably varied in harmonizing color, and the leader one of the best, for that peculiar style of musio, that we yet have had here. The full organisation, precisely as it is at Wallack's to day, will be transferred to the stage of the Brooklyn Theatre by Messrs.

Shook Palmer for the opening week, and their reputation should bo more than ample guarantee of the excellence of the mountings and scenery. The season could scarce have had a more brilliant opening. THE KBUELDER TBAGEDY. The Kruelder tragedy, in view of the attempt of the Buielde to first shoot his wife, has been a current toplo in the Eastern Distriot. Last evening a friend of Mr.

Kruelder, who had played a game of cards with him the preceding night, informed the writer that Kruelder had evidently arranged for the tragedy ho but partially accomplished In his own death. To this gentleman Kruelder remarked that he was playing hia last game, which tha person addressed understood to mean he intended simply to give up the practice. Kruelder was one of those, men who find miBfortune and failure in everything they put their hands to. For several years he has followed a variety of pursuits, in all of which he was unsuccessful, and in a single attempt to secure a publio office (that of Coroner, for which he once ran Independent) he found nothing bat defeat. This was probably due more to his free and easy habltB than to any other cause, and by reason of his failures he grew to be a disappointed man, against whom the fates had decreed their displeasure.

Deceased was a member of two masonio organizations, and two or moro social and benevolent sooieties, the offioera ofhich have attended to every preliminaryof his Interment and other details to the relief of the widow and her family.

A Fall from a I'ire Escape. James MoAlpine, of No. 97 Myrtle avenue, has Just applied to the Surrogate for letters of administration upon the estate of his son, John MoAlpine, who was killed by a fall from a fire escape attached to the building in which the family lived, on the 10th of August last. The fire escape was in the rear of the building No. 97 Myrtle avenue.

Young MoAlpine stepped out upon it, and the trap door in the bottom gave way, precipitating the yonng man to the ground, killing him almost instantly. It is alleged that the owner of the Leonard T. Powell, was aware of the insecure condition of the fire escape, and had neglected to repair it. McAlpine retained Morris Pearsall as his counsel In a suit against Powell for $5,000 damages for the Iosb of his son. The case will he tried in the City Court, and will develop some very nice points of law.

The statute requires that every building which has three families above the first floor shall be provided with a fire escape. MILITARY MATTERS. Rifle Practice of the Fifth Brigade.
