Van Duzcr, of Henry Street, uds Her Troubles Tin's Morning With a Dose of Morphine. Mrs. Isaac B. Vau Duzei died this morning at No. G4 Hicks street under circumstances which lead to the belief that she committed suicide.

The deceased was tho wife of Mr. Isaac B. Van Duzor, a printer, for many years employed at Harpers', and has for a number of years past been laboring under severe physical infirmities. Dr. C.

C. Jewett, of 101 Hicks street, who has attended her for tho past three years, Rave the reporter the following facts this afternoon concerning her ailments. He Paid, "I first saw her about three years ago, and sb way sufl'eriuc at intervals from severe attacks of congestion of the lunga and also had heart disease. In tho ei.rly pert of last week I persuaded her to go to the Home for Friendless Women and Children in Concord sticct and the there had all the attendance and care that a pstiint could possibly receive. I have found it rcicssary at times to allay the psiu under wLien she frequently labored to administer chlnral, and she made sevt ral to co.umit suicide.

The attempts havo been made at different times since I lr ev under my care. If two doses of chloral were f', fur instance, she would take the entire quantity at once. On cue occasion she had trouble with one eyth and was attended by Dr. Mathison, the well known occuiist. He ordered some atropine for b' v.h: It waB to be droj iuio her eye so as to r.nbr'c the pup 1.

v.heu eh? hul one of these attacks SHE SWALLOWED ALL THE thai wre in the bottle. Fortunately she lived through it. I att nded her ou that uceasion. At the tine tin! sl.e nould have there attacks, and they were all of very sou re, ami any one of them might have causa I atii, she labored at times under tit1 of sanity, ami it was nly on such occasions a. tiiei Ix.t nu filiated on suicide.

She seemed to very termini iu her (Herts to take her life. One time the. to what was left of a uiixt'ire ili.it lir. rore (v.ho had ireatul her before I did) iiad pr. scribed for her, and she told me that the contents of that bottle was chloral and morphine.

Sh? lias (te told me that sbo would kill herself, and shu was vi rj sly and cunning in her efforts to effect this end. sin got so thnt I had to take away her medicine bottles for fear of her dt inking the contents, which she vou'd have hud i he been left to herself. Last mouth s'. begged and importuned me to kill her. yhe his told me, too, that I was not smart enough and that SHE WOULD DESTROY HERSELF IX SPITE OF Mr.

Ei me day. At last, as I said, she was taken to the Homo feihFrii ndless Women and Children, and remained ther. live days. I told her that it would bo necessary for her to go to a hospital. I did this, because I believed In to be an insane person, as she certainly was at the periods during her attacks.

When she hoard this, she did not want to go, and ou Monday last sha slipped stairs and ran uway from the house to her residence in Henry streot. Then, as she would not obpy me. I said tnct I could not attend her. Since that time she has had several physicians and with v.boin could not on principle consult with. Th na tiiii.g.

however, her friends oaino to me and told mo si era? dying, and begged me to go round. I did so for humanity sake, and fouud she was past recovery. I uder these circumstances I could not couscicuti msly t'ive a certificate of death, and so I notihett the Coro u. rV oiliee of the facts." This is Br. Jewctt's story.

Dr. Lewis was next seen, and be was very much excited about the case, mid saul the wi.iuait had died of consumption, aud nothing else. Ci roner rjimins will investigate. HAIR KESTOKEKS. Kali Kan li.ee vs.

The plaintiff sued to recover $400 damages a. id $12.50 for rent, for alleged non fulfill ment ot a contract. The plaintiff claims that Bhe routed a house iu Lynch street of the defendant, and paid half a month's rent iu advance, and that when she prijiosed to move into the house found it nauted by another party. The ground of tho diili culty seemed to be that two brothers, one of whom was i the defendant, had tho renting of the premises aud there wis some conflict of action.

The murder was committed at half past four oVlock in the afternoon, Pemberton having entered the house ou the pretense of being a gas inspector or a beggar. lie aceompanird Mrs. Bingham to the cellar and probably tried to rob lur, when ho resisted aud be choked her, and filled her mouth with gravel canning her death by uffocation. Pemberton wis a noor, miserabl" MIow, and next morning he offered "for talo in a Salem billiard saloon, a diamond ring belonging to the murdered woman. This gave a clue to the police, who traced him back to Boston, and arrested him next day, in his bed at his own lodgiiit 'p He was promptly committed, and his trial occupied ircm June 2d to the 4 th, the only defenco made by the counsel aPFigned him being non responsibility by reason of repeated debauch ry.

Two months later he attempted suicide, stabbing hitn four tunc? with a cud of an iron spoon which he had scraped on the floor of hi crdl. With this exception hie conduct in jail has been exemplary, and he has given the oflicere no trouble whatever. Rev. Dr. Lorimer, at whose church Pemberton iipc2 occasionally to go with his wife, visited him several times, at his request.

Dr. Lorimer was with him last night until a late honr. Pembcrt: n's family visited him yesterday and the day before. The interviews were very affecting. His system freed from the effects of mm, was in a more healthy state than for pcverul years.

His appetite was good and hia sleep peaceful. He ate a hearty upper last evening and a good breakfast this morning, appearing unmoved by his impending doom. THE GALLOWS USKD has done service on twenty previous occasions. Dr. Websttr was executed on it in 1S5'2; also the James brothers, and Green, the murderer of young Converse, of Maiden.

Lorimer read a few selections fr.rui the Scripiuva and offered a fervent prayer, the condemnei man kneeling with him. Ho was affected to tears, but Pemberton was calm without being or indifferent. There were then about i'M persons gathered in the Jail rotunda, including the leg.il witnesses, physicians, and fifty or sixty policemen, most of them in citizens dress.

At 9:57 o'clock, the prisoner enteral the rotunda supported by the jaili.r, Dr. Lorimer and L'ucle Cook. He sat a chair ON' THE DF.OP. and while Sheriff Clark read tho warrant, the strapped together his hands and fert. At in o'clock Dr.

Thrre waa a single convulbivc effort to raise thi legs and the body straightened and slowly turned round and round, tlnn' ly settling iith the back to the spectators. After the first spasmodic twitch all was over. When tho body had been hanging nine minutes the physicians examined it.

The clergymen retired as soon as the body ceased to move. Death was caused by concussion ot the brain, or the shock of the fall, and was instantaneous.

Itaser resided in a house on Fourth avenue, near Ninth btreet, aud incurred a dent, the balance of which is represented by the note, for adding a story and a French roof to his residence. Mr. Cahart hies in Saratoga, aud hearing that Ra ser was going to quit the State, came down here last week with an execution and put tho matter into the hands of Counselor O. S. Cuttine.

At six o'clock on Monday morning a deputy sheriff went with the execution to leiy on Hastr's lurniture. The wife aud mother law claimed the property, ami a return was mad by the sheriff to that effect. Under the fourth subdivision Section 1, of the laws regulating supplementary proceedings, Counselor Cutting procured thi same day from Justice Pratt an order of arurt, to l.iing Itast before his Honor forthwith. He was duly arrested, but (he Court having adjourned, there was nothing for it but to lock Eater up in Iiaymcnd btreet pest house. The deputy sheriff found Mait in Schmidt's drm store, near to hi? residence, bidding Mr.

Schmidt goo i by, previous to; his departure for parts unknown. He was pi rmitted to go home with the Deputy Sherifl to see his wile and explain the situation. His wife's tears and entreaties softened the heart of CouuscTor Cutting and he agree to accept Itaser's parole to appear next morning iu court. Mr. Cutting followed the Deputy Sheriff and his prisoner, and the party went into Schmidt's drug sotre, where Mr.

a't Itaser when. Action of the Queens County Democrats. Senatorial, Assembly and Local nominations Made. The Queens County Democratic Conventions were held yesterday. It is not enough to Bay that they were inharmonious, for sucb bitterness of feeling between rival sections, ana quarrels between factions, haa not been witnessed in a quarter of a century.

The Aesombly Convention at Jamaica was a grand humbug. After three hours of wrangling tho proceeding terminated just where they begun, and had to be gone all over again. In the County Convention there was dissatisfaction at the weak kneed way In which the Couuty Central Committee treated the contesting delegation question which resulted in the withdrawal of the representative party in Long Island City from the Couvention. In the balloting for tho nomination of the Superintendent of the Poor, there was some of the moat shameless browbeating ever Been in a convention. Should the disaffected elements in the different parts of the county carry out the programme announced yesterday, the Republicans will bo victorious in the coming election, but the opinion is that they will pull straight when the time for action rolls around.

THE ASSEMBLY CONVENTION. On Thursday morning the Convention for the Second Assembly District met at the Jamaica Town Hall to nominaio a Member of Assembly and School Commissioner. John Fleming, called the Convention, and was subsequently chosen Chairman. Henry S. Lott was chosen Secretary.

Thcro being contesting delegations fioui Long Island City, Dr. Fink, of Newtown, moved a committee be appointed, confuting of one delegate from Jamaica, one from Hempatead, and one from Newtown, to hear tho claims report on tho delegation entitled to seats. Mr. Poff, of Hempstead, moved to adjourn to Monday morning. Mr.

Mc Kenna asked for information why adjournment was necessary. Mr. Poff Baid the Central Committee bad the matter of these contesting delegations under advisement, and this Convention would be bettor able to determine the matter after the Central Com mittoe had reported to the County Convention. Henry S. Lott thought that if an adjournment was taken the contesting could settle their own differences.

Mr. Fleming said he believed Mr. Poff'a motion was made onecientioualy, and in view of this fact the Convention was entitlod to know before proceeding to vote on the question, that the Central Committee had no authority over tho Assembly Conventions. The motion to adjourn was then put and lost. Subsequent motions to adjourn to Saturday or Monnay were frequent, but wero vote! down every time.

Mr. McKenna moved to admit both delegations, each to havo three and a half votes. A previous motion having been carriej to submit the matter to a Committee, and that Committee having been appointed, Mr. Lott ros to a point of order, whereupon Mr. McKenna movcl a reconsideration of tho vote, and it was so ordered.

Then fiia motion to admit both delegations was decided regular. Mr. Lott moved an adjournment, and it was lost. Mr. Noble, representing one of the coatustinK delegations, Baid if the Couvention decided to admit both delegations ho should withdraw his ere ientiale.

Another motion to adjourn was lost. The Convention voted to admit both delegations, and the Nibleites withdrew. Mr. McKenna moved that the retired delegation be invited to return, and the Chair appointed Messrs. McKenna, Poff and H.

U. Rider, a Committee to wait upon tho delegation. A re coss of ten minutes was then taken. On reassembling, Mr. Mhendaji said that tho retired delegation had voted unanimousi? not to return.

Thereupon a motion was mado and carried that the question of eligibility to seats between the city delegation be Bubinittodto a committee. The Chair ippointed as such committteQ Messrs, H. U. Rider, MrKcuna nnd Poff. Another reicss of tiHeon minutes was then taken.

On roappnring tho Committee reported in favor of admitting tha Noble delegation, and the report was adopted. Mr. Lolt mivcd au adjournment to Saturday, which was lost. On motion (f Mr. McKenna the Convention proceeded to tho nomiaation of caudidutes.

THE COUNTY CONVENTION. At three oVtock, John H. Sutphin, called the County Convention to order in tho Court Room of tho Court House. On motion of Hon. Jamea W.

Dr. Ray moved the acceptance and adoption of the report, when Mr. Terry objected to the numo of Mr. Crotty, aud Baid that, there was surely Quough Republicans in the Twenty first Ward without going into the Twenty third for one to put on tho ticket. Mr.

Crotty thereupon arose, and said that it appeared to hiia that other people know hia business better than he did himself. The Chair You are a resident of the Twenty first Ward Mr. Crotty Yes, and will be for a few days longer. Perhaps Mr. Tarry would like to take my placo Mr.

Terry move the adoption of the report, except the name of Mr. Crotty. The Chair iuformed Mr. Terry that his amendment was not seconded, and then put Dr, Ray's motion, which was adopted. Mr.

Terry then declared again that the Republicans must be badly off for delegates. Mr. Cotty then offered his withdrawal from the liRt, which was accepted. The name of Max Vetter was substituted. Tbe Committeea on Roll Book Revision, end Transparency reported progress, and Dr.

Terry That'a a nice Ring. A CANDIDATE FOB SUPEBVISOE. Mr. Harlow then said that if there waa no other business bofore the meeting, he desired to atate that a few days Blnce a number of citizens of the ward called on a gentleman well and favorably known, and requested him to accept the nomination for Supervisor, provided it wero tendered by the Association, and ho had agreed to do as desired, That man waa John M. Phelps, lcneers.j Mr.

William Bowell Now, goutlemon, if you keep oa this way you will break the Ring Terry Ob, give it up. We'll break your Ring. Dr. Ray won't get into the Board of Education. I've got A ROD IN PICKLE FOR HIM.

Mr. Terry didn't aft down voluntarily, he was dragged down by several indiguant members who hoarsely bade him "Shut up." Mr. Harlow then proceeded to eulogize Mr. Phelps, saying that hia was the best nomination that could be made.and he trusted that he would receive a cordial Indorsement, as he had agreed to sacrifice his penonal and private interests in behalf of tho people. Terry Why didn't you think so two years ago I wauted htm nominated You wouldn't have had a Democratic Alderman then.

Cries of "Sit down." The Chairman said that Mr. Phelps would receive the support of a great many honest Democrats, which was A GREAT POINT GAINED. Mr. Konney movod the indorsement of Mr.Frederick SlgriBt, as their candidate for Alderman, and the name waa received with, considerable applause, Mr. Watson said that lariat was already Indorsed by How Three River Thieves Were Cleverly Captured.

An Arrest that the Polico Had No Hand in. Messrs. D. M. Munger and William W.

Beebe as Detectives Caught at Six O'clock and Convicted at Ten The Mystery of Light Coffee Bags Solred. Some time ago the Eagle called attention to the fact that the river front of Brooklyn was unprotected againat river thieves. It waa also stated that every dock and almost every boat had its pnvatc watchman, but an arrest made thiB morning shows, that in one case at least, the watchmen themselves wore in league with the very men who8e depredation they were paid to prevent. Tho arrost in question is one of the most successful that has been made for somo time, indeed it is long since that a river thief has been caught, and longer still sinco one has been convicted. For years past the National Freight aud Lighterage Company; has been harassed by these pirates, aud the property that has been stolen from their boats alone, has avoraged many thousands of dollars in a year.

Mr. Charles A. Sterling, one of tho trustees of tho Lighterage Company, slates as an example, that during tho past threo months, the losses from piratical raids alone have amounted to between $5,000 and Now as to tho arrest Dotectlves have been employed by the Company time and timo again, but no results were ascertained thoy were unable either to trace tho source of the Iobbos or detect the thieves. At last the manager of tho Company, Mi D. M.

Munger and tho foreman, Mr, Wm. W. Beebe, atartod toworkontho case themselves. For the last two monlliB they havo been diligently engaged in trying to find a clue to tho thieves. Several nights they laid on tho dock and hid behind tho packages of goods watching and waiting with commendable patience.

At last certain facts developed themselves which led tho foreman to that the thieves were among thoir own men, and consequently a strict watch was kept in this direction. At lastjthe efforts of THE TWO AMATEUR DETECTIVES wero rowarded. They learned that iHst night there was to be a "haul" made on one of the Company's lighters, tho Auuie, lying at the Central Elevator Whnrf, next to Harbeck's Stores. Accordingly Messrs. Muuger aud Beobe made preparations accordingly.

Last evening they had a caual boat towed round tho wharf and hitched up alongside of the lighter. In the cabin of tho canal boat were snugly escouced Messrs. Muncer and Beebo, also a pair of elegant shot gnus, with liberal charges of buckshot In oach barrel. A few navy revolvers were lying around, too, In caso of need. Now the lighter was freighted with bags of coffeo, which had been received yesterday from narbock's Stores, and the mates of the lighter, William Ohlson and John Gorman, wero placed on board to watch the cargo.

All night long tho two men in the canal boat peered through the cabin windows, surveying the deck of the lighter, and watching every movement of the men on board. At last, about fiix o'clock, just as tho dawn was breaking, Muuger and Beebe saw one of the mates of the lighter lookiug anxiously across tho river. Tho men in tho cablu did the same, and shortly after they saw tho prow of a row boat as it became visible through the mist. One man was In It, and he was rowing directly toward tho lighter Annie. Muuger and Bcebo then watched the two in whom the company so implicitly trusted, and who wero sent to seo after tho safety of tho coffee.

Oue of fhom, on Boeing the approaching boat, wont down into tho hold, aud soou afterward reappeared with a bag of coffee. This tho mate deposited on tho edge ol the lighter's deck, and the other mate, a minute or so aftor, brought up another bag, and placed that altjo on the deck alongside of the first one. TIIE EIVEIt TRTEF's BOAT had by this time arrived, and tho oarsman dettly ran her besido the lighter, exchanged a few familiar greetings with the trusted mates, and then one of tho bags of coffeo was quietly lowered down into tbe rowboat. As tho mates were lowering tho other one down Messrs. Munger and Beebe appeared on tho deek of tho canal boat simultaneously, with the two shot guns.

Very quietly thoy boardod the lighter and stood behind tho honest" men who were left to watch her cargo. The river thief was just bidding good by "to the males aud preparing to row off, when Munger said, "Here, stop that boat, leave those oars alone If a thunderbolt had atrucu tho thieve. they could not have been taken more aback. Tho two matos turned round and looked right square into the barrels of their fore mini's shot gun, while Munger played with the trigger of his, as ho kept the muzzlo pointod at the man in the boat. This waa Gardiner, aud at firat he didn't know what to make of it, and asked Munger what he should etop for.

You hitch that boat up to the lighter and get aboard here," was Munyer's reply, "and quick, too." Gardiner didn't want to obey, aud made an if he were going to make a dash for it, but Munger shouldered the gun and covered him, and then Gardiner thought that he didn't waut to go over to New York anyhow, and might just as well step aboard the lighter as not. He fastened hia boat to her and got on her deck. Beebo stood between tho three thleveB and the dock aud exhibited his shot gun, whilo Munger fired a slmt from his revolver to givo the alarm. The report brought a private watchman on the dock aud Beebe oi plaiued the situation and called him aboari. Addressing the three discomfited men, Munger said, "YOU AR1! UNDER AHREST." They had nothing to say, in faet, what could they say 7 They had been caught too cleverly, and thoro was not the slightest doubt of their guilt loft them.

Munger, Beobe, and the private watchman then armed themselves with revolvers, and eaoh taking a prisoner, marched them down Furman street to Fullou, and up Fulton to the Washington street Station Houbc, and thoy thoro delivered them over to the custody of Sergeant John Cain, who was at tho desk. Gorman, Ohlsan and Gardiner each gave their names and answered the usual questions, after which they were locked up. Mr. Muuger at oncn sent word of the arrest to Mr. Charles A.

Sterling, one of the tcustoea ot tho Lighterage Company before alluded to, and he came to the station house with ah possible Bpccd. At nine o'clock the three men wero marched to Justice Walsh's Court, and after his Honor had disposed of tho usual drunk and disorderly cases, the charges of grand larceny aud piracy wero taken up and the examination at ouco proceeded with. Tho amateur detectives gave their evidence, which embodied the facta as above Riven. Whilo the examination was going on ex Judgo Cornoll appeared and at once coramencod to defend the accused. He tried hard to find some loophule by which his clients could but the fact3 wero too clear and they wero promptly committed to await tho action of tho Grand Jury, and this within four houra of thuir arrest.

Ton chaneea to one th will be indieted and sent to Siug Sing inside of a month. COUNSELOR CORNELL OHJEOTS. Sergeant Cain, Detective Currau and Officer Collins then took chargo of the prisouers to take them to Police Headquarters preparatory to their having thoir pictures taken. Cornell, their counsel, objected. He said he wouldn't have tbeir pictures taken; that there was no law giving tho police the power to take a thief's picture, and ho had made up his mind that hia clients should not have their cards left with Sergsant Frost Ho went over to Headquarters about it.

Sergeant Cain Baw the Commissioners, and tho Chief, Commissioner Hurd, said, "Ho didn't exactly know what to do about it." Tho Chii'f Baid "Well, if Mr. Cornell is anxious about tho law, go and aee Mr. Brittou, Sergeant," and Commissioner Pyburn said bluntly, "Take them right over to the gallery and get their pictures at once District Attorney Britton was seen about the matter, and he Baid that the Superintendent of Polico could take their pictures If he wanted them, and so they were taken, and the three are now safely housed in jail. HOW COFFEE IS STOLEN. The method of stealing coffee as adopted by tho thieves is well worthy of description.

Mr. Sterling described it to a reporter. Ho eaid "Thero are instruments called tryera need by coffee dealers, by which coffee can be tested without opening tho bags, in which it is enclosed. This tryer has a sharp steel point, and this merges into a hollow handle, at tho point of the handle nearest the steel is an oblong arifice. The steel point is thon inserted through the meshes of tho bag, and forced in; it is then shaken and tho coffeo falls through this hole into the hollow handle of the tryer and so into the hand of tho tester who examines the beans.

Tho river thieves use a tryer but it is one that they get mado for their own purpose; it is larger than the one used by the trade, and by it they can tako four or five pounds of coffee from a bag in a little while. You see they do not daro to take more than that quantity or else it would be detected, because tho bag would be slack. Why our Company haa shipped bags of coffeo all over, and the number of bags get to their destination all right, but on being weighed they aro found wanting. I havo on my desk now claims amounting $400 or $300 for shortage alone." The capture of these thioves has stopped a very serious leakage which has hitherto existed, and by which tho Lighterage Company has been losing so much annually. These two mates arrested havo been in the Company's employ for throe years, and up to this time were believed to bo honest men.

They have no doubt been "working in" with these river pirates all the time. The value of the two bags of coffeo stolen this morning is about $70. A TRIPARTITE ROW. John "Webber, of 13G Stanhope street, complained before Justice Semler, this morning, that Adam Hanck, a neighbor of Ms, violently assaulted him by striking him on tho face with his fitt, and by kicking him on the back and striking him ou the head with a stone. The parties got into an altercation and Hanck, who la a big, strong fellow, got the better of his antagonist, Mr.

Webber's mother interfering, It is stated that eho was also assaulted by Hanck, who, she says, struck her in tho mouth and knocked several of hertefcthout. The admissions by the parties showed thaC they were all guilty to some extent, and Justice Semler reprimanded them, and fined Hanck COMMON COUNCIL WORX, The committees on Railroads and Truant Homo of the Common Council were to have met last evening pursuant to call. A quorum of members of oithor committee did not appear aud consequently nothing was done. Of the Railroad Committee, Aldermen Vaughan and Dwyer were the only members on hand. Aldermen Ropes, Kenna and Shipman were thg only members of tho other Committee present.

BocreUrj. oci it The Time and Maimer of Their Advent Determined Last Nisrlil Yf ork to bo Commeuced in the Rink on the 81st Instant. D. L. the evangelist, arrived in this city yesterday afternoon from Philadelphia, where ho had been in consultation on the previous day with gentlemen of that city in relation to hia labors in Philadelphia at Boine futuro date.

On hin arrival ho proceeded to tho residence of D. V. at No. 39 South Portland avenue. In the evening a consultation was held with a large number of Brooklyn clergymen, representing a'l the different denominations, among them being the Rev.

William Ives Budington, Theodore L. Cuyler, T. DoWitt Tulmage, tho Rev. Dr. Lawaon, the Rev.

Charles M. Morton, of Plymouth Bethel Deacon Bell, of Plymouth Church Dr. Bancroft, Mr. Martin, of the Young Mru's Christian Association Major B. R.

Corwin, publisher of the Christian at Work Rev. Dr. Scudder, Rev. Dr. Thomas, Ror.

Mr. Haynes, tho Rev. Mr. Hunt, Rev. Dr.

Inglis, Rov. Dr. Vincent, W. W. Wicfccs, Ex Mayor Lambert, 'Eldor Griffin, Mr.

Plant, E. L. Kalbfleisb, Mr. Hawley, Mr. Hathaway, Henry Dully, Mr.

Adams, and many others. Mr. Sankey, Mr, Moody'B colaborer, was al bo present. A note was received from Rev. Dr.

Duryoa saying that he was in harmony with those present, anil in whatever they might decido upon to do they might count upon bis hearty co operation. THE OBJECT OP THE MEETING was briefly explained by Mr. McWilliams, when calling it to order, and then, alter a prayer by Rev. Dr. Budington and singing, the ministers began informally to discuss the needs of Brooklyn and the prospects for successful evangelical labor.

AU reported that the city was ripe for earnest religious works, and that there could not be a more farorable time to begin. The general feeling among the clorgy has been that Brooklyn more than any other city needed a thorough religious revival to counteract influences that for a year had tended to looseu religious convictions and to lower the city's moral standard. The discussion, which was joined in and listened to only by clergymen and church officers, was prolonged until half past 11 o'clock, when the ministers announced that Moody and Sankey would begin revival services at 8 o'clock on Sunday morning, October 31, in tho Rink in Clermont avenue, and that daily services would be held every evening, except Saturday, in the same place at half past 7 o'clock. mb. moodx's explanation.

Mr. Moody explained that the conference had been called iu order to ascertain whether Brooklyn was ready for the work. If they commenced here it was desirable and indeed necessary that their work should not be interfere 1 with in any way by church festivals or fairs, or anything ehse which would distract the minds of tho people from their religious duties. On his arrival in Philadelphia, Mr. Moody Baid ho found tho officers and members of the Young Men's Christian Association hard at work preparing for a fair which is to take place about the 1st of November.

Remarks were afterward made by Rev. Drs, Cuyler, Talmagc, Scudder and others, who asBured Mr. Moody of their unanimous Bupport, and expressed a determination to immediately Bet about preparing for the work. Mr. Bell, of Plymouth Church, epeaking for himself, Baid he could pledge tho support of that church, and was also iu a position to assure Mr.

Moody that he would have the hearty Bympathy and cordial co operation of Rev. Henry Ward Boecher in his labar. THE MUSIO. During the evening Mr. Sankey sant? many of his celebrated hymns, iuciuding "Hold the "Ninety aud Hine," "Rescue tho Perishing," and others.

Mr. Hill, tbo leader of music in Rev. Dr Cuyler's church, and Professor True, of the Polytechnic Institute, were appointed a committee to collect a choir of 150 latliea ami gentlemen from the different churches, to assist Mr. Sankey in tho services to be hold at tho Rink. THE COMING MEETINGS.

The reasons which decided the evangelists to commence their woik in this city were, principally, that Brooklyn has a large building which cau be occupied at that time, and which will be ample for tho purpose to which it is desired to devote it, aa it can seat between 7,000 aod 8,000 people. The services will be'in on Sunday morniug at eight o'clock, and continue about an hour. On every Sunday during the stay of the evangelists iu Brooklyn, services conducted by them will begin at that hour, and every Sunday aiterward at four o'clock another meeting will be held. These hours have beau chusen as most convenient, for tho leuson that thfty will uot interfere with the regular church services, which will bo held as usual. On week days there will be prayer every morning at eight o'clock in Rev.

Dr. Talaiapfe's church, and services every evening, except Saturday, at tho Riuk. How long the work will continue Mr. Moody was unable to Bay last evening, but lie remarked that he would be governed by future events: The services will be on the same general plan that was observed in Great liritaiu. Mr.

Moody will leave Brooklyn to ony or to morrow for his home in Northfield, where he will bo eu gageti until October 31. in tu.fi preparation of He will preach, in tho meantime, at the church in Norlhfield. Mr. was tho guest of Rer. Dr.

Ouvler, last night, and will stop with Mr. KalbfleisJh IkU evoaiag. To morrow he returns to his home. RAISING SUBSCRIPTIONS. At the meeting last evening, thero were preseut bcvC ral prominent business men of Brooklyn, and a subscription paper was alarted, and was pledged at once.

As it was not thought probable that tiic nvaugc lifta would begin their labors in Brooklyn, in view of a roport in the presB dispatohes from Philadelphia, published yeeterbay morning, stating thut Mr. Mundy "c.insidered himself under obligations to give Philadelphia the preference," very little had been said on tho subject of subscriptions, and no one went to the meeting with a thought of being called upon to offer the necessary financial aesistauco. It is estimated that tho coat of the work in Brooklyn will he very light, compared with the necessary outlay in Kngland, or with the amount which will be required in New York aud clao wbere in America. The Ring building is in such a condition that it will require little repair, and not much outlay beyond the expense of putting in seats. It is stated that no rout will be required.

Mr. W. W. Wickes was oloctod Treasurer, aud a committee composed of the following gentlemen was appointed to assist him in raising tmbHcnptions D. U.

McWilliams, A. S. Barnes, Taaker Marvin, Chas. Pratt, Jno. French, and Mr.

Trask. FURTHER ARRANGEMENTS. A meeting of tho gentlemen who havo taken charge of the carrying out of the preliminaries procedcut to the comiuR of Messrs. Moody and Sankey, was held at the Rink this moruiug, and the following Committee of Arrangements appointed: D. U.

McWilliams, Presbyterian A. S. BarneB, Congregatioualist Alan urn Trask, Reformed Taaker H. Marvin, Episcopal John French, Methodist, aud Charles Pratt, Baptist. Mr.

Wm. W. Wickes, will act as Treasurer. Mr. Moody was present, as were also tho Rev.

Messrs. Davis and Booth. Mr. Moody expressed himself ub delighted with the acoustic properties of the Rink, say after trial, that it was the best building he had yet had to speak in. A Committee on Music was designated, of which Mr.

Linnaeus Hill and Mr. Dalley, are members. It is deaired to form a choir of not ltB3 thre 150 mixed voices, who Bhall supplement the musical part of the dovotional exercises under Mr. They will meet for practice under a competent leader, before the coming of the evangelietB, devoting tho interval to tho study and acquirement of Mr. Saukey'a hymus.

It was ascertained that considerable outlay would be required to put the Rink in proper condition for tbo accommodation and comfort of the manses. Contracts for tbe Bupply of heating apparatus have already been mado, and tho work of repainting the building will be immediately commenced. It is anticipated that it will be necessary to c.irpet the raised sides of the auditorium In order to deaden the sound of persons moving about. It is the desire of the Committee that the Christian public who sympathize with the movement Bhall forward their donations at once to Mr. Wickes, tho Treaa urer.

Subscriptions aggregating $2,000 hav already been secured. SUNDAY SCHOOLS. Superintendents and Teachers in tlie Normal Class Lecture and IiiMrur tion by He v. Dr, Vincent The Normol Class of the Brooklyn Sunday School Union held a meeting in the Hanson place Methodist Church last night, under the direction of the Rev. J.

H. Vincent. There was a largo attendance. After brief preliminary exercises, consisting of prayer aud singing, Dr. Vincent delivered a short addrss upon "The Church and tho Sunday Schools and Sunday School Work." Sunday Schools, he Baid, perform the work of the church they are an integral and organic part of the church.

They were as old fashioned as tho church itself, inasmuch a they taught the Gospel first brought into the world by Christ. It might be noticed that the Master was more of a worker than a preacher. He preached by miracles and not by words. He delivered very few cot discourses, and when he did they were very Bhort. The early church was undoubtedly fashioned after the old JewlBh synagogue; but, though we don't understand It, we have a part of our worship and teaching which ressmbied It.

They had an assemblage after the regular Bcrvice, at which tbe principles of the Old Testament were set forth. THE EARLY CHRISTIANS taught more than they preached. Thoy taught the Gospel which Joaue Christ taught them. The Sunday School is under such control of the church that the officers of it are olected by the churoh. No superintendent is one until he is approved by the Board of the Church, so that the church and the Sunday School are one.

I believe the time is coming when the teachers in the Sunday School will be recognized as teachers of the truth sort of ministers. If the Sunday School must bo a part of the church it should be sustained by the church. It should have a proper placo of meeting and have suitable rooms. The church, should give au the time to tho school that it needs. There should be also, separate rooms in which tho forty minutes of Sunday School teaching be done by the teachers in the rooms, so that each claaB might be a Uttle family of its own.

THERE SHOULD BE PLENTY OP MONEY lo carry tho work forward, I don't believe in this work of having children going around begging alms, the work should be done openly and not by any such means as this. Monthly reports should be made and I don't know of iy better report that could bo made than to nave every few months, fifty or a hundred members of the Sunday School applying for admission to membership to that higher organizationthe church. Applause, 1 believe in the youug folks being taught a good sound formula of the doctrines of tho church. It may be a little dry work at first, but it will be like the Tine in the Winter time clinging to the trelllse work, and when the Spring time comes it will bud forth and blossom. Every Sunday School teacher ehouldinatruct his children in the teaching service, aud the subject ot the Bermon should be given out.

They should say gently but firmly, 'Thon shalt." Tho result of the youug folks attending the service would he AN INCREASED REVERENCE FOR HOLY THINGS, and when the minister opens the book, though they may not understand a word of what he says, ho will be to them God's ambassador, Bpeaking God's rord, and thus the influence gained will teach tho fundamental principles which we are trying to teach. Iam sure if the minister preaches a clear, straightforward sermon, which the average adult can understand that tbe child can understand it. There arc many men whom we know, that while they hold spellbound tho wisest philosophers, tho youngest child can also understand. Training children to attend public worship is a good thing, and one which we should look to. The youthful influences which have been made to surround the Sunday School should be shaken off, as boyB when they get to bo sixteen years old, and girls become young ladies, they feel a sort of ashamed to go where they would be considered aa children.

The Sunday School is a placo for the young and the old, just as the ohurch should be. When come to. recognize and practice these 8 inncipie wnicn j. nave enaeavorau to instruct you in, he eirls and the bova who are erowine ud with a lanre epirit of catholicity, which enablos them to stand by the church to which they belong, they will stretch out their hands to grasp those of every one who loves Jesus uorisc. men we shall nave THE SYMPATHY OF OUR PASTORS, and the Bympathy of the office holders of the church, and together by their working together, they will carry on this great work of Christ, winning souls, and biiug inff up souls to the glory of our Mafiter.

The hymn, "Praise the Rock of Our Salvation," was then sung. TEACHING THE LESSON. I Dr. Vincent then read the leson of Jcsu3 washing the feel of hi6 Disciples, and he dwelt upon tho manner in which lowly labor may be performed sn that there will be nothing disagreeable about it. That was the present principle, to his mind, which lay in the lesson.

It taught that any labor, however lowly and humble I end disagreeable, was digniged by being performed in I the causo of Christ. Mr. Frank Beard, the well known artist, gavo A BLACK BOARD ILLUSTRATION OF TIIE LESSON. It represented a tree which flouritjlied under tbe light the sun. There were two naodn which had bea Mr.

Cadley, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, has received from the State Controller a communication certifying that the parties named to take the census of this county havo made their retnrru to his office in due form. Tho enumerators can now present their bills for services to tbe Board of Supervisors for approval and payment by the County Treasurer. It is advisable that they should do so at once, because the proper authorities ore now in a position to attend to ouch claims. If they aro dilatory in presenting them, other county business may arise to retard the payment of them. Eighteen thousand dollars has been inserted in the budget for tho purpose.

GRAND TEMPERANCE SOIREE. Celebration of tlie Elcventu Anniversary oft tlie St. Paul's T. A. Society Last Night Last evening a grand temperance demonstration was given by the St.

Paul's T. A. B. Society, In celebration of its eleventh anniversary. The Athe neutu, on Atlantic avenue, waB crowded to overflowing, many being unable to gain admission.

The Rev. R. J. Maguire, Bpiritual director, opened the entertainment with an address. He referred to the admirable objects of the Society, and to the great success which had attendod its efforts.

MOLLY BAWN" was sung by Madame Clark, followed by "The Sword of Bunker Hill," by Mr. George Quiulan. The Rev. Father Sheohy delivered a very stirring address on temperance. His eloquent testimony to its advantages and tho very telling illustrations ho employed, secured the hearty applause of tho vast audience.

Miss Bartoldlc sang "Come Baok to Erin," with great taste. "Sheridan's Ride," was recited by Mr. Bailey, in fine stylo, and Mies Kehoo followed with tho "Minstrel Boy." Tlie Rev. Father McCarthy then spoke on the benefits of temperance, and aptly enforced his arguments with modern instances. He was listened to with rapt attention, and was repeatedly applauded.

"Shanius O'Brien, was neit given by Mr. W. B. Green, and "Killarney," by Mossr3. James Bt; and James Kenny.

The Rov. Father Carroll delivered an eloq uent address on the great subject ot the evening, and completely enthralled his enthusiastic hearers. Mr. Wm. Flaherty favored the audience with a song, aud the entertainment closed with "The Boll of the Ball," by W.

C. Breon. The O'Reilly Band enlivened the proceedings with a fine selection of muuic, and the proceediugs from beginning to end were of tho most interesting nature. THE THALIA DRAMATIC RECEPTION. Arcadian Hall, on the corner ef Flatbush avenue and Fulton street, was last night crowded to excess with the most fashionablo assemblage with one exception over gathered within its walls, the occasion being the openiog reception for tho soason of 1875 76 of the Thalia Dramatic Society.

Tho hall has recently been refitted and renovated throughout by the present lessees, Messrs, Chas. Harrison and Dayton, and it now presents itself as a temple especially adapted for amateur dramatic performances, its location being within convenient reach of all parts of tho city by tho car routes which pass the door. Manager Clirehugh last night presented au attractive bill for tho initial performance of the season, the programme being as follows Thursday evening.

Especially was tbe personation of Montgomery by Mr. Strong, noteworthy. He thoroughly identified himaelf. with the character, mado all his points with telling otfect, aud ably aspiated as ho was by Miss Palmer, in the part of Mrs.

Drown, their performance became quite the feature of the entertainment. Tho ease and finish which characterized Mr. Palmer's efforts, plainly evinced a thorough knowledge of tho art. In fact, it was a finished performance throughout, aud up to tho best professional standard. Mr.

Clirehugh bad an arduous task in tho rendering of the villain of the play, and he ably acquitted himself, being very effective in tho somnambulistic scene. Miss McNaniee, too, played tho part of Marian Beck, with considerable offect, especially in the last act. Miss Cape appeared to advantage too, as Lucy, though she needs study in stage business. Mr. Hickson acted hia part very creditably.

Tho George Almyer of the play did not knowTiis lines, and Mr. Keyes lacked tho spirit necessary in the character assigned him. As a general thing, however, the performance was creditable to the ThalianB. Tho last pioco was not up to tho Society's mark tho part of Gillijlower excepted. Tho opening entertainment gives promise, howevor, of quite a successful season.

ECKFORD SOCIAL CLCB. A special meeting of the Ec1dvv.l Club was held last evening, in the Club Rooms, on Fourth street, near South Second, the President, Captain David Browor, occupying the chair, and Mr. George W. Light ac'ing as Secretary. There was an unusually large attendance of members present, as the arrangements for the ball, to bo held on Thanksgiving Eve, were to bo perfected.

Appropriate committees, appointed at a previous meeting, reported on having secured Apollo Hall for the occasion, and the services of Schneider to furnish tho music. Tickots were then distributed among the members; Tho business part of the moeting over, all adjourned to the banquet hall, whero chowder ad libitum was served. This was their first chowder of the season. The boys next transferred the festivities to the parlors, where a good time gonerally was spent. What helped considerably to mar tho enjoyment was the disappearance of tho Jolly Secretary, Mr.

Light, after 10 o'clock. Captain Brower satisfactorily accounted for this. Among others who contributed materially to tho evening's amusoment were Mr. Isaac S. Schuyler, by a performance on tho banjo aud piano, and Messrs.

Joseph Liming and James Clark by their vocal efforts. It was af tor midnight when the festivities came to a close. BURNHAJTS CLASS RECEPTIOX. The first reception of the season giv en by the gentlemen's class at Burnham's Academy of Physical Culture took place last night at the Gymnasium, and the entertainment was witnessed by a crowd of invited guests, who nearly filled every part of tho hall. Tho exercises were gone through with in a manner that showed marked efficiency, considering that it was the initiatory performance of the season.

The next reception will be that given by tho ladies' class, and it promises to be a very attractive affair indeed. The several classes of the Academy are now in full operation, and what with the health giving character of the exeroises and the social enjoyment now connected with the institution, tho only surprise is that the classes are not crowded to excess with members, Sspeolally 1b the Academy curriculum valuable to young ladies, in affording them such facilities for that light physical training which is so essential to a healthful condition of tho system. Combined, too, as tho class exercises are, with such attractive recreative features, tho school necessarily becomes an Important adjunct to the educational institutions of our city. LADIES' TRUE LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP SOCIETY. The Ladies' True Love and Friendship Society, No.

1, hold a special meeting in Hanover Hall, on Fourth and South First etreetB, last evening, the President, Mrs. Annie occupying tho chair.

Thoy mado a contract for and afterward awarded it to another person for a much larger sum. Tho plaintiff alleges that tho assessment was illegal, and that ho never had any notice of the making and collection of the tax. Plaintiff desivos the assessment set aside, as it a lien and a cloud ou his title. Tho case came on for trial to day in the Equity Term of tho Suiirome Court before Justice Pratt.

Grneral Crooke moved to dismiss the complaint an agiinst the Town of New Lots, on tho ground that it had nothing to do with the matter whatever, but that the Supervisors of tho Couuty wore the proper parties to proceed against. Another ground waa that plaintiff had stood by and aeon contracts enterod into and improvements made without protesting. Furthermore, the plaintiff had not complied with the lalelaw affecting assessments in offering to pay what he confessed to bo duo in his estimation. Counsel for the plaintiff maintalnod (hat he had received no notice of the levying of tho assessment, aud that tho work waa not according to tho speclhca tious. The town was properly made a party, as town bonds had boon issued to a large amount.

Mra. Louisa Cisco owub a house on llanson place, adjoining the Awmory, and eho claims that tho excavation of the cellar of the building caused tho walla of her house to Rottle, and flhc therefore sued the contractor, John H. OTtourke, for $5,000. The defense set up the following fact': That OTtnurko was not the contractor who dug tho cellar to tho point which caused tho damage. Tho contract for excavating the cellar waa firfd given to another man, and he waa to construct a eclhr ten feet deep.

He only made it eight feet deep, aud the MiUlarj Committee of tho Hoard of Supervisors rofUHcd to accept the work anil took away the cm tract from hiia and ave it to OTtourke. But the first coutractor had dug dotvu oight feet, which waa below the foundations of tho plaintifl'H house, aud therefore the damage, if done at all, was done then. When OTlourke took charge of the work ho told the plaintiff that ho would not be responsible for tho damage thuc might bo done, but Haid lie would do tho bent he could to undcrpiu the wall i. A general denial of datna ros waa also put in. Tho jury thin moruiug rendered a verdict cf for the plaintiff.

Chairman and Gentlemen of the Sixteenth Ward Democratic Association For tbe last thirty years I have been a worker in the Democratic party in Kings County, and during that length of time it has always been tho custom for this (section of the city to havo two Squires or Justices of the Peace of our own selootion. Rumor has it that the leaders of tho party are about to force upon us a gentleman resident iu the Western District, a precedent that has never been heard of before. Now, gentlemen and fellow Democrats, it ib a well kuown fact that year after year since the consolidation of the two Districts, the Eastern District has been too frequently neglected, so much so thut the leaders have made up their county ticket from top to bottom, without piviue our District any consideration whatever. Before annexation, when Williams burgh was a county town, it was always represented on the county ticket. Now that wo have pus led resolutions indorsing the nominations made at Syracuse, and the action of our delegates from this couuty, be it Resolved, That we, as Democrats of the Sixteenth Ward, pledge ourselves to support the rogular nominees of tho party, but hope the leaders will concede to us our rights tho right aud privilege of making our own nomiuations, to bo submitted to tho leaders for thoir approval, to represent us in our District.

Revived, That we deem it an outrage on our political rights for our leaderB to force upon us any gentleman living out of the District, and that we oppose and protest agaiuat any Buch action on the part of our leaders. Resolved, That we invite the co operation of all the Democratic clubs of the Eastern District, in opposing tho nomination of any gentleman from tho Western District, for the oflice ol Justice of the Peace in the Fifth District. Resolved, That forcing upon us a non resident of the District is calculated to cause dissatisfaction and weaken the Democratic ticket in the District. Rwolved, That we, the members of the Sixteenth Ward Democratic Club, recognize in Mr, Herman L. Guck a worthy representative of the German element and the young men of the city, an honeBt, upright aud conscientious citizen one whose integrity and ability will ever aid carrying forward the work of reform, and his nomination would be hailed with satisfaction through tuo District and city at large.

And we most earnestly re common dihis name to the City Convention for its consideration. The same gentleman, after the above had been adopted, moved for the naming of a committee of three to submit the document to the party leaders. Mers. A. Beck and Henry Keyser, togother with the author of tho resolutions, were selected for tho dutv.

A transparency furnf.iiied by committee was ordered paid for, aud the meeting then adjourned for one week. cr man IE ejmbl ienns. A meeting of the Sixteenth Ward German RepubUcan Club, held last night at No. 209 Meserole street, was presided over by Mr. Chas.
