THE HOLIDAYS. A SrJTZ DOG'S DEATH. TI3K nOIilOAIS, MARRIAGE. LONELY. RUBENSTEIN.

SATnUMV EVENING. DECEMBER 18, 1875. prayers and my prayer book which I loft at home. I want my letter answered which I rote to you. Jam dear of tho ctlnie.

Pasaoh N. Rubenstein. The twilin that Pasaeh referB to is a sort of crown which is worn on the head. It bis the Ton Commandments written in Hebrew upon it. and is worn each morning whon prayers arc offered.

The Commandments are supposed to be recited each morning also. Bhortost of these must stick in Pasach's throat, that is if he over repeats the four words which constitute the Sixth Commandment, He says in this letter 10 Osher Lemal that he is innocent i.f 'ihc crime, and this is the first explicit denial of guilt that he has made. His brother Louis was put in cell No. 5 this morning, when ho was committed by Coroner Slmnis, as a witness. When the Kaot.k man went down to the Jail, ho found that Pasach was conversing with Louis (who only tlireo cells removod from birn), through the apertures in tho walla through which the waate pipe runs.

Tho reporter informed the Coronor of this fact his return om the Jail. Louis says that his brother thoy may think moat beooming, should Bay that tbey atlviso Una church to invoetiuato asain the conduct of tiio uastor, I shall say Go do it," bat if they should look upou it and eay tho church baa acted regularly, why, well or, if, looking upon it. thoy do not think It necessary to say anything, I shall submit to that too, Applause. Tho latter missive, thus amended, was adopted by a uvanlmouB rising yoto. Mr.

Beecher moved the adoption of to effect that the Committee have DISOBETIONAIiy TOWER nend tho latter missive to ouch churches as they should think best. He said he had been nearly all day oouferoncc with two ministers well acquainted with the churches oast and west. A large list had been prepared, from which the Gommitteo could sift such as thoy thought expedient to call. The resolution was adopted. RESIGNATION OF MB.

SHEARMAN. Mr. Shearman then took tho floor and offered his res iffnatibn as clerk of tho church. The duties had been burdensome and had been such a drawback to bis business that ho could no longer endure them as he had for two years past. The position had been without any mitigation or advantage to him, not to speak particularly of the peculiar difficulties he had laborod un dor in holding it.

Ho would nominate as his substitute and successor, Mr. Thomas J. Tilney. A BUBponBiou of the rules was agreed to, and Mr. Tilney was elected.

Mr. Shearmaii was then elected a member of tho Examining Committee, and Mr. Arguscus Storra was selected to fill Mr. Christiansen's place, his term or office the Committee having expired. VOTE OF THANKS TO MB.

SHEARMAN. Mr. Beecher moved a voto of thanks to Mr. Shearman. The duties of the Clerk had been very laborious.

If things went on in tho way they had been going Clerk hereafter would ncett to be deeply learned in ecclesiastical law, as well as in the Common Law and in great variety of other things beside. Mr. Shearman had earned tho gratitude of the church, and he moved that the church thank him by vote. Mr. It.

E. Raymond oppised the motion on the ground that it would be establishing a bad precedent. The church had a right to make use of tne abilities of Mr. Shearman. Pass a vote thanking him, and the nest incumbent of the ollice might feel thut a distinction was made against him unless he were thanked, also.

Mr. Beecher argued that this was a vory different caso. It was not a usual thing for officers of tbe church to be assailed by newspapers na Mr. Shearman had been. He would emphasize the church's approval Mr.

Shearman, because he had suffered obloquy aud reproach. Then Plymouth Church was faithfully served by an honest man. He knew it. Ho should say the world, Think as you ploase, wo know when a man has faithfully served us, and we will recognize it." The motion for a vote of thanks waa unanimously carried by the audience risinp. Mr, Shearman replied a few words, in whioh he thanked the church for its kindness to him.

ELECTIONS OF OFFICERS. Christiansen and Edgerton were elected members of tho Music Committee; Mr. Talmage was elected to his position as Assistant Clerk; and MeBsrB. Palmer and Moody were elected Auditors. Amendments to the rules of the church, numbers 5 and 7, were referred to tho Examining Committee.

Assistant Pastor Halliday read a report of his Sunday School and visiting work in the church and among the families of the congregation. Letters of dismission were given to the following persons Mrs. Agnes B. Barbour to tho First Presbyterian Church, Plattsburz, N.Y.; F. A.

Benedict to the Central Congregational Church, Brooklyn; Sarah M. Pratt to the Madison Square Presbyterian Church, New York Charles H. Murray to Plymouth Church, Chicago, and George A. Bell, Mrs. Gabella E.

Bell and Arthur Bell. Mr. Hhearman said that in asking for letters of dismission from the church persons frequently expressed their deep sympathy for and with the church. Mr. Beecher then rose and read such a lelter from A Policeman Arrested for Barbarously Healing: its Brains Out Officer Brophy Frightened at tiieAulmal Barlt.

This morning, Officer William Brophy, cf the Central Office Police Squad, was tried before Justice Semler, on complaint of an agent of the Society for the Prevention ot Cruelty to Animals, on a charge of brutally clubbing a nog lvelonging to Mr. R.ibert Hkepard, No, 195 Franklin street, leaving it to die upon the bidcwiilk. A pen ant girl of Mr. Shepard'a said she was going to grocery store on Monday last, when the dog, an animal of the Spitz breed, followed her. When distant About hulf a block from tho house tho dog ran up cloas be officer and barked.

Brophy then dreiv Iu3 club icilcu it to the sidewalk, Joseph Patterson testified that he lifted tbe dog out the gutter into which tho officer kicked it after lie beat it with the club, and that it was bleediupj from the nose; ite skull was crushed in end one of its eyes protruded from the socket about half an inch. Mr. Bergh's aj ent swore that tic could kill the dog in minutes, and (nat an hour after tbe alleged brutality he Baw the dog alive; its ribs were crushed in, it had sustained the injuries stated by the former PS s. A lady who lives in the neighborhood saw the ofticor bent the dCf? and kick it into the gutter about half an bom after eho heard it moan piteously, "like a human being in Biophy, a (ail, fine looking fellow, who might be supposed to have luagnimmity beyond rescntiug a dog's swoie that the first blow to the. animal was accidental.

When he taw it bleeding, however, he thought wculd liuirdi it, mid continued toclnb to death. Whtn he left he thought it was dead. II cut anal diiimed that officers were bound in duty to kill ull dogs found unmuzzled. Tbe Court said great cruelty appeared to have been occasioned by tbe dcfendimt's act and that it would be iucosr.ry to lork into ins record. If bo was addicted errdly, he ought to be punished if his design was kill the having found it unmuzzled, I12 was willi chy ordinance.

An Englishman Who Wanted a Wife and Got One. A Story of Love at First Sight Followed by Robbery. Alice Scofcfc alias Zoe Pish, a "loud" looking female, of about 40, was before Justice Morse, to day, charged by William Cotwr, with stealing $100 worth of jewelry from his apartments at 45 Lafayetta avenue. An investigation of the case turned up a curious but not unfamiliar phase of city life, as it Is sometimes revealed to strangers. Cotter is an Englishman, lately landed.

The woman is to tho manner born. She told thia story to the judge when called on to plead to the charge This man met me on tho Bowery last Friday, oa I was looking In a store window. He aBkod me if I was married, and I told him I was not. He said I ought to be, as it was bad to be alone. He said he was a stranger here, and was looking for a wife, and asked me if I would go into business with him.

He asked me to go with him and he would show mo the business ho was engaged in. I went with him to his rooms and he showed me some watches and jewelry. Wc returned to New York together. He said he wanted me to keep house for him and do my own washing, and we would have one or two boarders. He gave me $9 to pay my previous board and expenses at the hotel.

When I returned to the hotel I thought I would not go with him because he wanted me to work for him instead of his taking care of me as he had promised. He told me that HE WAS A SMUGGLER. waited outside of the hotel for me but I did not come out to him. The next day he wrote me a note asking me to call over at his houss in Brooklyn, and I went over. I waited for some time, and as he did not come I returned to my hotel In New York, where I remained until the officer arrested me.

I thought it was on account of the $9 which this man gave me, and I told the officer that he should not arrest me for that. The officer searched me and also my room, and then told me that thismau had lost some jewelry. Cotter, in answer to this statement, said: I am an Englishman. I came to this country to tight for my rights in a patent right suit. Having no moans of subsistence, I did not know what to do, and I arranged to go on a vetsel to Ohio.

I first lived In Brooklyn, corner of Myrtle and Kent avenues. Then I purchased furniture and furnished rooms at 45 Lafayette avenue. I saw this woman on the Bowery, Now York, and I entered into conversation with her, and TOLD HER ALL MY BUSINESS. I asked her to be my partner, and gave her my conD dence. She gave her name as Miss Fish.

I asked hr not to fool me but to use me right, and she said she would. I appointed a time to meet hor, but she i did not meet mo. Afterward she met me corner Bowery and Houston street. I took her to dinner aud then asked her to come to Kent avenue with mo for my baggago. I took her over and showed her my watches and jewelry that I had in a bag, and arranged with her that wc should go into bueinoss together.

I wont back with her to her house, and arrived there at nine o'clock. She went iu and told me to wait outside. I waited three quarters of an hour for her to come out, but she didn't como. The folks in the house told me that she had gone away. They also told me that she was mar ried and had a son.

Next day my landlady Lafayatte avenuo told me that a lady had called tho day before. laying that she waa from Sheffield and knew my wife. The next day this person called again bo my landlady Informed me. I went to my room and found the dosr open, and the bag cut open and MY JEWELEY GONE, took the bag to the landlady and showed her tha cut and asked her if she allowed the woman to go up to my room. She told me Bhe did'nt know whether she went there or not; asked her how she accounted for it, and she said she heard the rustling of a dress but did not go to see what it meant; no one knew of the jewelry except this woman and I made complaint and had her arrested.

No one knew of the Jewelry except her, as I camo to thiB country to battle for my rights, being different here than at home. I found a small bag which I recognized as the prisoner's. Mr. Hough, the landlord, said: Thia woman called ia the afternoon, but went away. My wife and I went out in the afternoon and when we returned she remarked to me that she heard a rustling of something like a lady's dress but THOUGHT IT WAS A OAT.

Tho gate in front of the housa waa open, while I had left it closed when I went away. The woman SnoU was held for further examination till Monday. She loftily told the Judge, as ha committed her, that she was the mother of the "champion bare back rider of America," but she didn't say who that waa. Her husband, George Scott, was arrested at the same time with herself at their place in Houston street, and is held on suspicion of being conoerned in the theft.

Mnrqueterlo Furniture. Cabinet furniture first became a.n article of general luxury about the beginning of tbe Stitbonth Ceo tury.

At this period, inlaid as well as richly carved furni ture was manuf aotured In Italy and exporter! to various parts of Europe. Marqueterle. Inlaid is one of the most beautiful and interesting in tho adornment of furnitnro. In this work the doslgn, having been lirst drawn on paper and properly colored, is prioked with a fino needle, so that the outline of the ornament can bo pounced on the various oolored woods. These outlines being carefully marked in, are cut with a fine wateh spring saw worked in a lathe in most oases the wood forming the ground is cut with that forming the ornament, so that a piece out out oi white wood corresponds In shape and size with the opening left in the blaok wood.

The earlier epeolmons were executed in woods of different shades bnt natural hues, afterword when flowers, birds, and oolored ornaments vrare Introduced, various Btatned woods permanently dyed to a considerable depth were employed. The house of peakson ft Noe. 561 and 563 Folton etreot, is turning out some exquisite work in Marqueterle, applied Co rich parlor aad chamber furniture, mmle stands, jardinieres, pedestal and fanoy articles of all kinds.

Suit by a Father on Behalf of His Daughter, In Which it is Alleged She was Insane When the Ceremony was Performed. Tho ease of John Pope vs. Patrick Edward Jeffrey came up in tho City Court, Special Term, for trial iu equity. General P. S.

Crooke appeared for the plaintiff, and J. U. Shorter for tho defendant. Tho suit is a curious one. It is an action for divorce, In which tho plaintiff is the father of tho woman on whoso bahalf the suit Is brought.

Tho pleadings act forth that the plaintiff, John Pope, is the father of Annie Pope, who was born May 31, 1853. On the tenth day of May, 1873, when tho girl was nearly twonty yoars old, she married the defendant, Patrick Edward Jeffrey, Thia marriage, it iB claimed, was clandestinely per formed, and without the knowlodge of the plaintiff. The complaint further set forth that on tho Gth day January the girl loft the defendant and has not lived with him since. The plaintiff claim that at the time of the marriage the girl waa a lunatic and had been of an unsound mind for a long timo previously. The suit divorce is brought by the father under the statute whioh, in tho case of a lunatic, allows the next of kin to brUR tho action.

Tho defendant alleges that his wife was enticed away. her parents, he admits the niarriago but denies the other allegations. It appears that the plaintiff Pope is a man of some property and it is alleged that this was the reaaon why Jeffrey lnduocd hor to marry him. The case opened thia morning with the examination Dr. Dumont, who bad been the physician of the Pope family for some time.

Ho testified to the sickly character of tho girl and to the fact that ho considered her of unsound mind. The girl's mother was then placed on the Btand and testified to the stute of health of her daughter for several years back. For somo years she had been considered of unsound mind, aud had been sick a great deal, and the advisability of Bending her to an asylum had boon diBcussed. Jeffrey had boarded in tho house for a brief period, and in that way had made the girl's acquaintance. They had never allowed hor to receive visits, and has considered her as demented for a long time.

Case still on. PLYMOUTH. The Church With its War On. The Members Resolved to TaSe the Advice of Their Friends Mr. Beecher Gives His Enemies Notice of Battle Letters Missive Agreed Upon.

There was a large attendance at Plymouth prayer meeting last evening, and at its close but few of the audience retired, as the business meeting to consider the Bubject of the letter missive calling an Advisory Council of Congregational churches, which had been resolved on at the Thursday evening meeting, was immediately to succeed. Mr. F. M. Edgerton took tho chair.

Mr, Beecher was first on the floor with a motion to suspend the rules and proceed at once to a consideration of the report of the Committee on the Letter MisBive. Mr, Shearman suggested that the rule requiring business meetings to be opened with prayer was imperative. Mr. Beocher acquiesced, and Mr. Davenport opened the oxercises with prayer.

After the minutes of the previous meeting bad been read Mr. Talmage offered a resolution, whioh was adopted, that the letter of Mr. West to the church, read tho meeting Thursday evening, be omitted from tho record. The minutes having been thus amended Rev. Edward Beecher aaid two matters had been referred to the Committee of Seven appointed at the last moeting; one was the preparation of the letter missive itself, tho other was the matter of deciding which churches should be Invited to the Advisory Council.

Tho first was fully attended to, the other not as fully as was desired. The letter missive having been prepared would be read by Prof. Raymond. THE LETTER MISSIVE was then read as follows To Deabxy Br.tovF.n Plymouth Church, after an existence of nearly thirty years of great usefulness, finds its good namecalled iu question on account of the rules and principles adopted many yean ago for the regulation of its internal affairs. For tho purpose of more fully disclosing to the churches of Congregational faith and order the policy of this church, the oharaoter of its rules and of its proceedings under them, and for tho purpose of receiving epocial counsel from our brethren under the trying circumstances in which we are now placed, we invite you to meet us in an adviBory council at Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, N.

on Tuesday, the eleventh day of January, to consider and adviBe us as follows First whethor Plymouth Church in the rules and principles which it has provided for tho maintenance of order and the administration of discipline, and in its administration under those rules and principles, has gone beyond its rights as a Church of Christ so as to justly forfeit its claim to the confidence and fellowship of Congregational churches. Second Rulo Ko. 7 of this church Is in the following words 'Droppiug Members Members may be dropped from the roll of this church, with or without notice to thora as may he deemod just, by a two third vote of the church, upon the lecommendation of the Examining Committee, either upon their own ooplication, or, in caso tiiey navo aDauauueu meir wuuwuuu wim iue ohurch by prolonged absence or otherwise, upon the application of any other person," The practice under this rule is to give notice when tha party can bo found, and to afford him as full a Tiearinp before the church, if desired, as would be af forded on a former trial. MemberB dropped under this rule are subjected to no express censure, and to no further tmpitea censure man huou tn any; as necessarily ariseB out of the facts of each particular case.

Wkitb, Mr. Shesrman moved an amendment that after the word "discipline" in the first apeciflcatlon, the words, and in its administration under these rules," whioh raised the question whether tho church had gone beyond the roles and principles provided for the maintenance of order and the administration of discipline. Mr, Beecher asked If this would open question which the Council might see fit to investigate, and on Mr. Shearman's replying that such was tho design, Mr. Beecher declared himself in favor of it, and the audience applauded him.

Mr. Beecher oontinued as follows: mb. beeoheb's remarks. I don't suppose that there has ever boon a man in America that has been as much tried as 1 hare. Laughter.

There has never been a man subjected to such a Rre oi newspaper criticism auu um. ir, and then, that was brought up before a large Committee of tho churoh, and during tho progress of investigation for the two months following the Committee availed itself of every available Bourco of Information. And I was acquitted. Applause. Then I wan tried for a period of six months In a court of justice with as able counsel as ever confronted a jury on poth Bides, with unparalleled and unexampled sifting of evidence and arguing, and there Is not on the records of American jurisprudence such a trial as there took ntno nut nf twelve believed I was innocent applause and now I hear it Bald from time to time that this church 1b afraid of trying mo.

They say, "We want another trial." Taking the Bix monthB and the two months it makes nearly three quarters of a year that has beon spent in doing nothing else but try mo with a searchlngness on the part of tho church that cannot be surpassed. And this ohurch has more interest in knowing who their pastor is than any other body of people on the face of the earth. The pastor Is the man that teaches tbe children, that inspires the morality of the family, that leads men to God, that baptizes, that buries, that oounsels, that advises, and the interest of every household in this great congregation i .1.. tn (ho vr nnink hv the man that Btands as pastor of this church, and if there is any question on earth that has an interest that eqnaui the Interest of thia ohurch, I know not where yon will inv it ir nnt in tho interest of this church in the miritv and inteyritv of its leader. So far as the inti mations that aro given in unfriendly newspapers that this churoh wants to hido something, would a man went to bide from bis physician a plague spot If he had one, or a deadly dlBease it he hod such There la nobody on earth that has such an interest in ripping up the secret Iniquity if there is any there to nobody that ought to havo so much confidence ths members of thMmninr Rut after all.

If you can bring together a body of men tnat ore wi, oi mat uve more leisure, that will undertake to try again this case tnan tnose to wnom it wiw nhwt in the trial. I shall not be the one. Applause.) But when the men who are my enemies, the men that hare Ibsen in warfare with this church that thov would like to hare another trial, in which they perhaps would like to sis as jnoges wucu put this matter into the hands of men who can only sit jnn. tn VAv whftD I asked to reonen this matter, the reoort of which nils four large quarto volumes, to put a'U this tangled mass into the hands of men, all this obscure mass of iniquity, asked to put all this into a council of ministers, wto come together on Tuesday, and must go home on saiuraay 1 aay win not do it.

I say I am not afraid of being tried, but I will be tried by men who have time to try me, by men rtf wiRfirtm who will trv by rules, not by caprice. men who will undertake to do that which muss Ko Hrvna nnri rtnmnaoq thp mass of matter tijat must come into any trial, and if anyone says that this church is evasive, i Bay ium so far as the pastor is concerned, for I aay i ana irtwirimiitA tribunal will undertake it.

TGreat aDolaube.l If, therefore, that council should come together and make audi iaquiriea into the biwtory of the church as tho to in all bo on the a of to in re His Alleged Murder of the Hebrew Girl. Latest Facts iu the Case The Evidence Completed Another Letter from tho Pi isoner He Assorts His Innocence and Calls for liis Prayer Book More About the Foot Prints at the Scene of the Trapedj. The developments of yesterday in the case agaiiibt Pcsuch Nisun Itubeustein, the alleged murderer of poor Sarah Alexander, his cousin, have caused great satisfaction to the police authorities, and certainly reflect great credit upon Superintendent Patrick Cauipb.0.1 whose conduct of the brutal mystery baB shown his fitness for the important position he fills. And under tho Superintendent credit of no ordinary kind reflects upon Detective Zundt, the new and keen officer, who has worked the slight clues furnishod to a successful conclusion. The Inspector, Mr.

Waddy, also comes iu for a share of praise, as he has been very active in the case and has aoly seconded tho efforts of the Superintendent. Tho police, although they feel that they haveworked the caso agaiUBt RubenBletn "up to the handle," and that the rest lies within the province of an intelligent jury, have not reUnguisbe i their vigilance but are still anxious to rivet another link iu the chain of evidence THE STAINED SHIRT. it will be remembered that when Rubenstein, after his arrest, was disrobed by the police, a coarse undor garmont of woolon, something like a chest preserver or protector, was found upon him, and upon it several famt marts of a reddish hue which it waB surmised might be tho blood of the of his knife. This garment was handed over to Dr. Kissam, tha police surgeon, for chemical aud microscopio examination.

Yesterday afternoon the doctor had not completed his labor, but through a misunderstanding on the part of the police the reporter was led to state that it had been settled that tliceo stains were made by human blood. This, however, it now seems iB not the fact, as tho reporter called upon the doctor last evening, who states that after a careful investigation, ho is satisfied that the stains were not made by blood. This result, of courso, does away with what was said to be another point against Rubenstein. Dr. Kissam was of the opinion, also, that even had these been human blood marks, they would not be of any great importance in the case, as they might havo been the result of a nose bleed.

If the Belt confession of Rubenstein is excepted, it is therefore ovident that the only other great elite that could be obtained in the case would he the discovery of the blood stained outer garments which he must have worn after the deed. This last is, however, hardly likely to occur, as it is very probable that any tell tale evidence in that direction has beon destroyed. EUBENBTEIn's APPREHENSIONS. Mention was made yesterday of a letter writton in tho Hebrew language, which Rubenstein wrote in the morning and handed to Jailor Stinson for transmission to his friends, and which that functionary, after opening, gave to ono of his friends, who retained it all day. This epistle, which was indited in the most illiterate style, was partly translated, and in English appears as follows Mont Worthy Brothers and Brothers in law, Joe.l en; Dear Brothers Don't target tho lore yoor brother, and that a brother is born for troublo and distress.

To day Alexander, of Fulton Btreet, sends to me, and also Mr. Mott, from No. 15 Centre street. They want to know if I want to depend on them; if so they will come instead of Talmage. I depend upon my religion even if there are iron walls over me.

If you do not intend to take Judge Cadozo, first try to get lawyer Bogan to come to me. Don't do anything except what I write to you. Let me know who will come to me. Your brother whose life hangs oh one hair, and who writes with bitter tears and a broken heart. I hope, in the name of the God of iBrael, that you see to this and will not tarry, but that tho lawyers may come immediately, and their pay is from my money.

PBS4.0H N. RUBEKSTEnt. HIS SPEEDY INDICTMENT. It has been ascertained that late In the afternoon of yesterday, the girl Augusta Simon, who sold Rubenstein tho fatal cigar knife, and the other parties who have identified him were examined by the District Attorney, and that the Grand Jury will take action in his caso to day, in the Bhape of an indictment for murder. This will be "taking the mud" out ot tho verdict of the Coroner's jury, but it will probably haye the effect of hurrying the trial of the apparently guilty man.

HAD HE ACCOMPLICES The detectlveB are dliousslng the probabilities of Ru benstedn's having had accompllcea. The belief with Bome of them la that ho had. They are nearly all agreed that some of his friends must have been accessories after the fact. The strange and inconsistent sto ries of the prisoner's parents havo awakened BUBplcion. BUBENSTEIN'S DEFENSE.

Messers. Kinzing Mott, New York, and Tigho, of this city, have already been retained as counsel for the prisoner, and efforts are being made by hia friends to secure tho services of ex Judjje Cardoza. Rubenstein has plenty of money, and as one of his friends said yesterday, a million dollars will be spent, if necessary, to save his neck. They ask you to recall the time when a Hebrew was hung for niurder and say that Ru benatoin shall not. THE PRISONER'S BEHAVIOR.

Under the Coroner's instructions, Rubenstein, who is in Cell No. 2 of tho Jail, is not allowed any communication with his parents or brothers. And this fact seems to give him groat grief. His counsel have viaitod him, and he has doubtless received orders to keep his tongue quiet, as he now declines to converse on tho subject of the murder or himself. He cats very little of the prison food and hiB demeanor shows that he is laboring under suppressed condition of mind.

Ho Bpends his time in alternate seasons of prayer and pacing about the cell, and his ejaculations every now and then would probably be interesting to one who understood the language. As it is feared that somo undue attempt might bo made to influence the testimony of lltuo Augusta Simon, she has been placed in safo keeping away from her old associates. New Points To Day. The polioe now consider that the Rubenstein case is virtually ended, that as far as they are concerned. The facts which havo been developed since Tuesday last are considered full and sufficient to convict Pasach Nisun Rubenstaiii of murder in the first degree.

Tho points whloh the police have proved against him are those; First They succeeded in producing the pgsiengori who rode in the 5:08 oar from tha South street Ferry to East New York, each one of these gave a description of the dead girl, and eaoh one fully identified the body of Sarah Alexander as that of the young girl who had rodo up on that trip as far as the merging of the Broadway car tracks into those of the Jamaica horse cars. Each one of these passengers, too, could swear that the girl was accompanied by a man, and that he and she got out at Sim Hoagland's oorner and walked off in the darkness in the direction of the Flank Koad, whieh was the direction, from that point, where the murder was afterward committed. Second Two of these passengers, Augustus Tayior nd Edmund Buckholtz, Bald that they oould identify tho man who rode with the girl, and Taylor, particularly, was positive that he could plok him out of a thousand. Inspector Waddy wanted to know what sort of a looking man he was, and Taylor replied "He was a dark looking man, had whiskers all round his face and a mustache; hia skin was dark; I should take him for 1 Hebrew; his side whiskers wore straggling, that is, there was not a close growth of hair. He wore dark clothes and had a slouched hat.

He was a thin man and I should judge about the medium height, The reason was so particular ia noticing him was beoause I supposed that the girl was his wife and, that they had hod a "miff." I knew she was a countrywoman of his by her swarthy face and coal blac hair and eyes. She wore a shawl over her head and kept looking in his direction, while he, instead of looking at or speaking to her, kept sitting sideways on the iat and peering out of the window. He never looked any one in the car efthtr and seamed to be restless, (knew they wore together afterward, because they both got out at Sim Hoagland's and went off in the same direction." Third Israel Bubensteln has three song, and it was found that the girl used to attend one of tnem Pasach, and that Bhe was with him more than any one else, and had no male admirers nd beside this pasach on Sunday night and Monday night also, tells this "dream" which ho had, and whloh was so near the terrible reality; that It will take a very necullar kind of person to really belteve It was entirely a dream. This dream he tells as early as Sun day night. He wakes up on that night from his sleep and is so frightened that he oan't sleep afterwards, and he says that SB follows "I dreamed last night that Sarah was murdered ten miles out of New York, by an Italian, and near a cornfield, and that the knife was hid near hor, and that sho wanted me to come and bury heT." This is hlB "dream" told.

BEFOBB THE CORPSE WAB DISCOVERED even, aud when on tho following Tuesday, two dayB after nearly, the body was found, it was nearly ten miles from New York, the girl had been murdered, tho knife was hidden near her and nothing remained except the then apparently difficult task of finding the murderer. Fourth Taylor's description of the man with Sarah In the car talliod exactly with the appearance of Pasach M. Bubensteln, Israel's eldest Bon, and so much so that when Inspector Waddy related Taylor's description to hira, old Israel said "Yes that is Pasach," Fifth When Pasach was arrested, Taylor and Buckholtz Identified him beyond any doubt. Sixth His own Btory of his whereabouts on Sunday is improbablo, and the acoounts given by his mother, father and brothers, whilo they also conflict among themselves, do not by any means bear out Pasach's account, for they all swear that he was not out of the house, with tho exception of Paaaoh's stop sister, who said he was out three honrson Sunday, but was stopped by her mother from saying anything further. Seventh The traoks in the cornfield fit to a nicety the shoes of Pasach and of the murdered girl, and Pasach's shoes ore of a rather peculiar shape, but the track fits them exactly.

Eighth The tracing or the bloody knife with which the murder was committed, to the possession of Pasaeh, for the Police have shown that he purchased It at tho store of Gustave Simon, No. 138 Division street, a week ago lost Monday, and the very manner of its purchase goes more than anything else to convict him, for he looked over Bome finished knives and wouldn't take them. His eye rested on this particular knif had been condemned for some flaw, and the handle of which was unfinished the rough wood was merely rivited on.but he chose that and caid twenty cents for it. The knif 9 maker's daughter, Augusta Simon, wonderod at him choosing it, but anally aupposBd he bought it because he could got It bo cheap, and so when tho knife came back to her in the hands of Detoctivo Zundt she well remombered tho sale of it, and can swear that Pasach Rubenstein whom she knows was the purchaser. These are the points against him, and they are enough for the man to carry, it must be admitted.

LAST NIGHT At six o'clock ihe accused commenced to obsorve the Jowish Sunday by continued praying and the wetting of the tips of his fingers. He sent out tho following letter yesterday addressed to Osher Leniai, No 86 Bay ard street, New York. It was written from right to left, as Hebrew characters are written, and reads as follows Dea raisBD Send me my twilin for morniaa Tho was on is his are and this that The in has was the to a the lid the to my it no at of in as at TELEGRAMS.

HOARD OF ASSESSORS. The Board cf AB8eors met this morning, President TruElnw in the chair. Tho assessments for the grading and paving of Schenck street, from Flushing to Lafayette avenues, and for the regrading and repaving of Franklin avenue, from Sackett street to the city line ($12,585.88) were confirmed.

I). B. Carr, of 174 Gates avenue, petitionedjthe Board to he relieved from personal tax for 1875, on the ground tlmt he had received no notice, and had not any personal property. The Board thought they must have opinion of the Corporation Counsel on the subject, so they rwiueslcd the Hoard to obtain it. A number of petitions for reductions of valuations were received and referred.

TAX EECETPTS. The receipts for taxes during the week ending yeater dsy, Bsercgistrd $0011,043.55. The receipts yesterday were $120,4 COMMITTEE OX POLICE AND EXCISE. There hs been no meeting of the Commitee on Police and Excise since the early part of August last. At that time th? proposed increase of tbe force to seven hundred and fifty men was referred to it.

Calls for meetings of the Committee have been repeatedly made since then by the Chairman, Alderman Donovan, but a quorum has never been yet got together. Another subject of imporianee for this Committee to consider is the removal of the Eleventh Precinct Statiou House which, in its present location has been condemned as unhealthy and unfit for a polico station. This morning Alderman Donovan an 1 Kaa called on Corporation Counselor DeWitt on the subject whether the Common Council could legally increase the P.ilico force. Mr. DeWitt called their attention to the clans.

of the Charter authorizing the Common Council by resolution, on application of the Board, to increase the number, and authorizing tho Controller to provide for their payment by issuing certificates, bearing interest, for such sums not already raised for their payment, the amount of such certificates to be iusorted iu tho succeeding tax levy Alderman Donovan will bring tho matter before the full Board of Aldormen. THE MARKET PROJECT. Action by the lions isiiuiu Biiucr I lie Lionff IflaJla Ycslcrdaj Resolutions tor Transmission to Every Cirattgc in tlie United States. Sow tlmt Brooklyn is in sober earnest about be establishment of a farmers' market at the "Walla b.ut, and tbe matter is squarely before Congress by the introduction of Mr. Bliss' bill, the farmers have taken heart, and gone to work with a will.

Their eflorls had failed so often that it is not to bo wendered at if tbey were despondont. John O'Don nell, of the Standard, who was with Mayor Hunter last Winter at Washington, is working zealously, and in every port of the country, where he has an influential friend, is enlisting bis sympathy and influence with the Ttepresentative in Congress from his own district. This cannot fail to procure good resultB. yesterday afternoon tho representatives of all the Lone Island Granges, and other farmers' organizations, met in Jamaica, to consider the beBt means of advancing the project. Every town has its grange.

So it is throughout the United Statos, and tho lodges combined wield an influence which tho representatives will not despise. The convention camo to tho conclusion that the bett course was the passage of resolutions in favor of the project, to bo transmitted to tho sister lodges in every part of the Union, for indorsement, with the request that the Congressmen from the vaiious districts be asked to favor Mr. Bliss's bill. Tho National Orange is soon to meet, and the subject will be considered by them, as it will also be by the various Ktate Granges. The farmers have done a wise thing, and if the movement fails after this influence has been brought to bear to universally, there can be but little hope of its over bring accomplished.

The resolutions adopted are as follows ilrwjlred. That we recommend that Congress shall convey to the Citv ol Brooklyn (for a consideration or otherwise) all that strip of laud, and land under wator, lying between Washington avenue and the Navy Yard, ill the City of Brooklyn, for the purpose ot establishing a public market, aud further Resolved, That said conveyance shall stipulate that said property shall be kept as a public market, and no portion thereof be used for other purposes, either public or private, and that in the event of said property being abandoned as a pubhc market, it shall revert to the National Government; and further llaclad. That two thirdB of said plot of ground be ki pt for the sole use and benefit of the actual producer cr his or their duly authorized agent or agents, for tho disposal of agricultural products. A TOLEDO BLADE. He is Taken Back to Whore He Came From.

Cnarles Mortimer, who was arrested on Tuesday last by Detective Corr, at the Post Office, on a charge of having stolen from the City Treasurer's Office, of Toledo, Ohio, some $3,100, on the 3d was taken back to that place this afternoon, by Detectives Kingsbury and Downing, of Toledo, who had been tel cgraphed the fact of the arrest. The circumstances of the case are familiar to readers of the Eagle. On the day of the robbery Mortimer came to the City Treasurer's office iu a carriage, accompanied by a lady. He got out aud commenced to negotiate for the purchase of somo water bonds, rt while in conversation; with the clerk, tho horse took fright, and the acrcams or the woman accictanon WliHo ccused Use ciere iu iuu ho was gone, Mr. Mortimer took a box containing tnioa from behind the counter, with which ho escaped lie came to Brooklyn, accompanied by the woman Vhe" inquiring if any letters had been left for him at tv'cPobt Office wt he arrested by Detective Corr.

The reporter asked him what ho thought about tho strange dream Pasach Louis pretends he knows nothing of it. LOOKING AGAIN AT THE FOOTPRINTS.

This morning. Superintendent Campbell ordered another search to be made for footprints at the cornfield, to see if Pasach's shoe marks could be found and traced, as he left the scene of tho murder. Detective Folk and Officer Clifford made the examination, and they find that Pasach's i'ootstops rau in the direction of Atlantic avenue. His tracks and the dead girl's tracks clearly to be seen as far as tho sceno of the murder, then PasBch'B foot prints appear alone. Beyond and the letter, thora is really nothing new to day.

THE BURIAL OF SARAH ALEXANDER, took place at the Bay Side Jewish) Cemetery, on tho Jamaica Plank ltoad. No services were held over the body, and her brother, sister and two friends were all followed her to the grave. The Jewish religion forbids any services over those who meet a violentdeath. undertaker aud mourners arrived ot tho Morgue yesterday afternoon and had no coffin. The undertaker wanted Keeper Maguice to give them one, but ho had none.

They, after some consultation, went to tho carpenter shop at the corner of Cauton and Boliver streets, and there a rough box of plain wood waB made a hurry and brought hack to the Morgue. One of the female friends of the deceased and tho undertaker dressed the body, as follows It was not washed, as the Mosaic law forbids this when the body been killed bo that b'ood ihows. FirBt a white linen shroud was put on the dy, and whito linen stockingsnot regular hose, stockiugB mado out of linen were put on her fet A white linen petticoat next adjusted, and a cap, also of linen, was put on head and tied under the chin with strings. Over the petticoat and Bhawl was thrown what appears bo a whito muslin wrapper, fastened round the waiat with a baud of the same material, and then tho undertaker placed a white Bheet over the box and pressed it down so as to line it. Then tho body was put in, and llttlo muslin bag, containing something or other, was placed under the head and a whito vail thrown over face.

The sheet was then thrown over ull, and the of the box nailed on. This was the oxact manner of preparation for intorment. The undertaker wanted put the bloody clothes in the box, but Mr. Manure would not give them, as they may be wanted at the trial. "But," said the undertaker, "wo must bury everything with her that haB blood on it." 'Then if you must, you must, said Maguire, "but word for it you'll not bury those clothes or touch them either." So the undertaker left without them.

A theory has been advanoed that Pasach and Sarah wedt out there to commit Buieide, but it looks more like a planned and deliberate murder on Pasach's part. The Jewish law is very striot about adultery. Had been discovered that an Illicit intercourse had existed between the dead girl aud Pasach, the other Israelites would have ostracised them both and would have had dealings with the families of either. This shows even another motive for Paeach to get Sarah out of the WBy, for had she lived much longer her condition must have been known. A oareful watch 13 kept on PaBach the jail, and he will have no chance to commit suicide even if he desired to.

SEAK ROBBERIES. Two ol ttie Thieves Caught After an Exciting Chase Otners Bet Away With their Booty From Two Dwellings. Two sneak thieves entered the house of Mr. Glafiel, No. 213 Division avenue yosterday afternoon, through the front door, and while the family were in the basement, succeeded in carrying away two sets jewelry and some articles of less value.

While the act of making their exit they wore discovered by Mrs. Glaftel, who raised tho cry of "Stop thief." After an exoiting chase of over fifteen blocks, they were captured in a yard, corner of Ninth and South Second streets by Roundsman Travis, and taken to the Fifth Precinct Station House, where they gave their names as George W. Knox and Edward Williams, aged 25 years each. They gave their residence in South Second street, but the number could not be found. They were locked up.

Mrs. Glaftel estimates her loss ot $15. Tho thioveB threw away the jewelry in their flight. A case of white handled razors was also found, of which Mr. Glaftel dislaims ownership.

Thomaa Connolley, Indicted for assault and battery, pleaded not guilty. Michael Kane, a dirty, ill smelling individual, who brought with him from the pen all the nolsomo odors of Baymond street Jail, was then placed at the bar to plead to an indictment for assault with pistol. At first he denied the charge and was sent book to the pen, but in a few moments, thought better of it and again was brought before the Court and pleaded guilty ts the charge. In extenuation of bis offense he uald he came over to Brooklyn to see a friend. "We got a little tight, yer Honor, and went to a ball, and they had a muss.

I was holding a pistol in the air, and I sort of lowered It down, and then somebody knocked me in tho head."

Louis Morey, convicted of grand larceny, was then sent to the Penitentiary for eighteen months.

TSic Awards iu Wushiugtou Avenue and Sackott street The Corporation Counsel has been instructed by the Board of Aldermen to bogin suits against John H. Taylor, ex Controllor ot the Park Commission, for money paid out of the City Tx'easurj, on certificates issued by him to the wrong persons for lands token in the Sachet street opening and Washington avenue improvement.

The documents on file in tho office of tho Park Commission appear to relic va Mr, Taylor from any responsibility in the first case. It is shown that a scorch was made into the title of the property in question, and the title was found to he properly vested In Russell W. Adams. Furthermore, In a suit begun by Alfred Woodruff against Adams, the Park Commissioners and other defendants, in which the plaintiff claimed proprietorship and consequently the award, tho Court issued an order establishing the Adam's title, and directing the Park Commissioners to grant a certificate payabU by the proper city officers for the sum due him for the property taken. The award for the land was Rnt tbe adioitilnt? land, owner! hv Adams, waa as HfiflRRfl l.UBJ Which being deducted from the award left htm a balance of Mr.

John B. Hoggett claiinB, it ia believed, $2,889.40. His title he dates back long before the opening occurred, but no trace of it 1b found In the search mado by Mr. Tayior for the Park Commission. It is the opinion of Mr.

Quvedo that no action lies against Mr. Taylor in the Hoggett case, bscauea the ex Controller acted in istminjj the certificate of indebtedness to Mr. Adams under a special order of the Court. In the Washington avonue case, Mr. Taylor appears to have made a mistake in allowing the award to the wrong person, and will probably pay for his error of judgment by a disbursement out of his own private purse, of about $1,100, being principal and Interest.

Light Wines! The Sun of December 17, says that Dr. William Parker, for years on advocate of teetotalismtold the Assembly Committee on Crime, tnat no aesires to stop thenaeof strong distilled liqoora by substituting light wines, thus preventing much orimo now resulting from the too free use of ardent spiriu. Nor does the dootor stand alone in this opinion. As man seems bent onusiagsome stimulus, it is better to use tbe mild the strong forms. In conversing with Messrs.

H. B. Kirk 4 the agents of the Pleasant Valley Wine Company, whose office is at No. 69 Folton street, and No. 703 Broadway, New York, wo learned that the product of their wine vats have greatly increased last year The red and whito French wines, and the German Rhine; wlnea have grown also rapidly in favor, and this Amerioan wine whloh Is akin to 'hem.

has been improved by thia company until it Is become the loading native wine of this continent The results to follow be, not only the substitution of a mild and pnre wins for doctored and dangerous liquors, but the saving to this country of an immense amount of money, whioh ii sat abroad every year, and tt circulation among oar citizens. I that the vote was of a character not to stand investigation, and not to be let pass into a law, for the sake of the honor and prosperity of the city. Attention was specially directed to Alderman Clancy's bold declaration, that the thing had ben fixed aud must go through," a statement the Alderman made when opposing if. Reference was also ide to Alderman Howell's declaration, that an effort had been made to BEIEE not TO SUPPORT THE JOB. It was further stated that tho Alderman was offered tho position of a director, to take effect when his term should expire, and that he resented the offer as an insult.

Statements of audacious corruption were never made so strongly against any job in local annalB, as were made to the Mayor yesterday about this one. The allegations were simply awful and it was evident that indignation had been stirred to a high pitch. Remonstrance, petition, investigation, every forn of litigation and exposure were announced in advance. The thre tened residents in instance opposed rapid transit. They declared that it was ordered in the wrone place and a way that had to borrow nothing from petiy larceny and highway robbery to set it off.

AMONG THE CITIZENS who for themselves and as spokesmen for others called on Mayor Hunter last night were United States Dis trict Attorney Tenney, No. 1G4 DeKalb avenue, and Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, D. who resides on tho corner of DeKalb avenue and South Oxford streets.

Both own and live on the lino of this proposed road, on DeKalb avenue, and the interest of both in rapid transit for Brooklyn is hearty, sincere, and such as becomes their high position and their public spirit as citizens. They were careful to assure Mayor Hunter that right' speedy, requisite, and properly located and hono3tly secured rapid tjausit had no firmer friends than they were, but they protested against this scheme as an injury to Brooklyn as a whole in general, and tho avenues concerned in particular, as well as an outrage on public rights and morality, in the way it was put through, and a ruinous confiscation of private interests. THE 1'NITED STATES DISTRICT ATTORNEY called his Honor's attention to these facts. Tho charter of the road was got at Albany years ago. A route was named in it which oxcited no objection.

Ripid transit was needed to link tho suburbs tj(the ferric i and to people up the former. The Park avenue route in the charter would lead to that, aud it carriel public opinion and public interest with it. Or a course down Atlantic avenue would do that, too, as well as revitalize that thoroughfare. The company did nothing under their chartor. Last Winter they got it amended, giving tho Common Council pnver to change the route.

An effort was made to secure Myrtle avenue. The uihauitants Buccessiuuy resisted, notice, debute, inquiry had been afforded. DeKalb and Grand avenues essentially avenues of residences had been pounced upon wilhout notice, right or reason. The way in which it had been done spoke for itself. The intention either was to degrade thoso avenues to the level of Greenwich street, Now York, or to oompel the property owners to buy the road off.

He begged his Honor to bear in mind that neither result would be submitted to. The inhabitants were a unit on every form of resistance that could be availed of, oxcep' such forniB as were charged by Aldermen with hav.ng been used iu the interest of putting tho scheme through. No Alderman from the central, the affected portion ot the city, had voted for tbe route. The vote was from Alderman fioai the Eastern District aid from tho fringes of the city. That spoke for itself.

BiV. TALMAGE SAID in effect to the Ma; or, that Mr. Tenny was more fe inalirr with the facts than he, but he was the in lorser cf all that he had said. He would add that, in his judgment, the road would destroy the character of the Btn opposite aad loading ta Washing'on Park, (Port Greenr,) and would render them uniotirahlo far residences of tee dc.rce cf thosi there now, which represented a great deal of investment, and a great deal of what was most worthily characteristic, in the homo life of this "City of Homes." Ho was anew comer to the locality where he lived, but ho had long wanted to get there before he did. Ho was there now and bo wanted to atay.

In tho effect the road would have on his neighbors' interest and his own, it would not be rapid transit, it would bo Ho thought there weve three, elsewhere unequalled places to live in Brooklyn the Heights, Clinton avenue and round Fort Greene park. That park was a cont'uual delight and resort for the people a great help to them the beBt lung the Lity had. It should be saved from that destruction to its present distinctive character which any such road would involve. Mayor Hunter listened with interest to these gentlemen, and expressed a desire to receivo from the public and from citizens uch a full statement ol tneir views 3B would enable him to act justly and intelligently. Tho citizens then withdrew.

To day, the excitement continues and increases in all quarters. ELLEN HATHEWA.T. The funeral of Ellen Hatheway, who com mitted Buieide, on Wednesday evening, by Bhooting herself through the head with a pistol, was to have taken place to day, but has been postponed until to morrow, in consequence of tho absence of Bonie rela tives who cannot be present until that time.
