Tho Bay Stato Shoe and Leathor Company, whicD has the contract employing convicts in tho Penitentiary at making shoes, will erect a factory in Brooklyn and continuo shoomaking in this city as a Branch of its factories iu Massachusetts.

The contract with Kings County expires ou July 15, and under tho Fassett law cannot be renewed. Mr. Bigelow, tho superintendent of tho Bay Stato Company at the Penitentiary, has mado arrangements with tho Charities Commissioners whereby he will be permitted to complete any shoes the work ou which was begun beforo the 15th inst. No new material will bo worked, however, and the stock and plant will be taken away as expeditiously as possible. Just whero the company proposes to locate its new factory has not been made known, but it is believed that lots in the neighborhood of the Penitentiary havober selected and the directors of the company have been notified of tho selection.

The Bay State Company employs nearly three hundred people, in addition to the convicts, aud there will bo no trouble in obtaining sufficient hands in this city to run the new factory. State' elections. When a bulletin giving the report that Sullivan had won was displayod from the bulletin boards, tho vast crowd swung thoir hats, jumped into tho air and cheered. Sullivan's father, who appeared on tho scone, was followed by a yelling crowd and cheered loudly. When he finally took a car for his homo in the the Highlands a crowd of men and boys followed him on a dog trot for eome distance, shouting and cheering.

IOUN t. HTJLMVAN. John L. Sullivan was born of Irish parents at Boston Highlands in 1S58, and is therefore years of ago. He began life as a day laborer with a shovel.

In 1880 he first attracted attention by the way ho knocked Joe Gobs about at Goss benefit in Boston. He had to refrain from using hiB right hand for fear of knocking Goss out. George Booke came next. Sullivan finished him in one round. In March, 18H1, Sullivan knocked Stevo Taylor senseless in the.

second round at Harry Hill's. Steve had accepted Sullivan's offer of $50 to stand before him four rounds. Sullivan then went 011 a tour through the country, offering for any man to stand four rounds before him. Dozens of pugilists of greater or less fame tried to earn the money, but never got further than the first or second round. On February 7, 188! Sullivan and Ryan fought for the championship and $5,000.

Sullivan won iu three rounds. After this he could get no 0110 to meet him in a finish light, and went about offering $1,000 to any man who would stand up with him for four rounds. Jimmy Elliott triM for the money and was knocked out in the third round. At Madison Square Garden, on July 17, 1H31, Tug Wilson earned over $7,000 by lying down before Sullivan, crawling on the floor, holding his legs and similar tactics. Charlie Mitchell came next, May 1883.

lie bit Sullivan on the jaw and gave him a square knock down in tho first round. Charlie was as proud as David when he knocked Goliah out. He rattled away at Sullivan iu great style tho remainder of tho round and gave him a lively shaking. In the third round Sullivan let himself out and after giving Mitchell a terrible battering knocked him through the rones. Captain Williams stopped the fight.

Sullivan tried for alight to a finish with Mitchell, but could never get it till whiskey and a broken arm made a reck of him. Herbert Slade, the Maori, a protege of Jem Mace, met Sullivan in Madison Square Garden on August 7. 1 Slade did not last three roiindi. In September, Sullivan went on a tour of the States, which lasted nine months. NATHAN'S FATE Stirring Up Brooklyn Republicans at Washington.

Senator O'Connor Working for Him and Assemblyniau Asptnall Against Him. Grace is oa Deck. Special to the Eagle. Washington, D. July 8.

They are knifing Nathan to day with a vengeance. The impression seems to have gone out that a Brooklyn collector of internal revenue was due about this time and the excitement among most Brooklyn people became intense. Senator Eugene F. O'Connor, who claims to he more interested in Nathan's welfare than in that of anybody else, reached here early this morning, closely followed by Assemblyman Joseph As piuall. The latter, although a good friend of r)latt, favors Harmon, believing that Nathan could only work injury the party in Kings.

But as much as Mr. Asoinall favors Hurmaii, he will not stick to him if Nathan can be defeated in any other way. He is here to prevent Nathim'd appointment at any sacrifice, and in enthusiastic way he is rnsning about town with au activity that appals people who are Buffering from tho semi tropical heat of the town to day. The temperature has completely knocked out Senator O'Connor, as far as capability for effectual warfare is concerned, but he got in all his licks when he was here two weeks ago. Bp; William H.

Grace has appeared with the boasted declaration that he is the chief eoiniiliea tion in the case. He has been wasting another day trying to convince folks that ho was not paid in hard United States money for his services iu the last campaign. It is too hot for Grace hero, who is attracting a good deal of attention by standing on the White House portico mopping himself with a napkin. Fears are entertained that he will sutfer from sunstroke if he exposes himself much more, All the oflici.ils tell him he ought to hurry oil' to some seashore bathing resort. Following out the programme mapped out by Senator Uiscock, as described in the Saturday, by which the Junior senator under took the contract of tilling all tlie Federal offices in New York State, he has sublet the Kings County portion of the job to a commission of his own selection, consisting of Collector Erhardt, Appraiser Cooper and Franklin WoodrutV.

The latter, heretofore repudiated as a patronage dispenser by both the Executive and the General committees, is now riding rough shod over what ex Senator Daggett has termed tho j.iekiluws of the llcpublican party. Mr. Woodruff seems to have made pretty close connection with the Nichols Wallace Nathan people and is now hooping for Nathan. MtKY KBt'OltT.

Dr. Snively aud Rev. George U.

Vande water were named as possible candidates. Saturday night, there was a rumor that the bishop would probably resign, so fast was he failing. Publicity was first given to the story of tho bishop's poor health by a church paper soon after the Diocesan Convention iu May; just why it was difficult to understand, Dr. Littlcjohu certainly gave no evidence of physical or mental weakness in the work that he had to do there. There is a suspicion that the action of tho convention on the question of tho Federate Council, which was in accord with tho views expressod by the bishop in his able address, embittered some of the friends of tho scheme, and they are assailing the bishop in a spirit of revenge.

In the diocese, whore the bishop is seen somewhere every day doing full duty, not infrequently crowding two days' work into one, the people, realize that he is both vigorous and hearty. The bishou himself is more amused than angered by the statements which have appeared in print. He has, however, been overrun with correspondence from friends in distant parts who thought it necessary to tender their sympathy. Last Winter, having taken cold, Dr. Littlejohn went to Bermuda not because he had to, but in part for the benefit of the health of Mrs.

Littlejohn. Mrs. Jenks, wife of Corporation Counsel Jenks and Rev. Mr. Jossup, of tho cathedral, accompanied the party and all returned in excellent spirits.

The idea is prevalent that the cathedral at Garden City has imposed many and exhausting labors on the bishop. It is true that his duties have been increased somewhat from this cause, but more from the remarkable growth of tho diocese, and care has been taken to lift much of the labor from his shoulders. For instance, he has as assistants at the cathedral the Rev. Dr. Cox and Rev.

Messrs. Humphreys and Jessnp. A share of the work in Brooklyn that fell to the bishop's hand is now performed by Archdeacon Stevens, and Archdeacon Smith is acting in a like capacity in Suffolk County. Tho bishop has not complained of being overworked, nor has he hinted a desire to have au assistant appointed. To a reporter of the Eaoi.e he said: "I was never in better health.

I haven't an ailment that is tioublesome. If some of these young fellows think I am not strong physically lot thorn try me." The best proof of the bishop's robust condition is the fact that yesterday, which was a trying day, he preached and conferred tho Bacrament of confirmation in Caroline Church, at Setauket, in the morning. Driving from there to Port Jefferson, over a rough and dusty road; in the afternoon ho delivered a sermon aud confirmed a class in Christ Church. On the previous Snnday he performed a like double service on the south side of the Island. THE ALDERMEN Ordering a Water Extension for the First Ward.

A Main from aioiiut Prospect Reservoir. Relief Savers to be Constructed Truant Home Improvements Colonel Koehr's Fiffl'l Sunday Jltisic. The Roard of Aldermen met at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Under a resolution adoped a few weeks ago, it was to be tho last regular session until the first Monday of October, with the exception of one to be held on the last Thursday of September. It was however, to day, that when the meeting should adjourn it should be for two weeks.

This was to be done to oblige Aid. Rlack, who desired to put through a large number of local improvements (luring the Summer. Mr. Rlaek has so much of this style of business that someone jocosely suggested that ho ought to have a Hoard of his own. l'residint Mccarty said that the Board would not reconsider tho recess resolution, but might adjourn for a fortnight, and order such fortnightly adjournments during the reecsss time.

Thero would probably be enough aldermen around on those Mondays to hold meetings. For many years it has been a (yistom of the Roard to take a recess in the warm weather, aud when special meetings have been called a quorum could not always be secured. City Works Commissioner Adams sent iu the following: Gknti.kmkn' Owing to the rapid increase of population and the still more rapid increase of manufacturing enterprises in the city, the demand for water haH increased so greattv in certain parts that the present mains from Ridge wood Reservoir are inadequate to supply the want, and the friction produced by rapid How consequent upon the increased demand has so far reduced the pressure that in the First Ward tho citizens have found it impossible to have water at all times even upon the second stories of their residences or places of business. The modern conveniences in our dwellings, which are such a source of health and comfort when plentifully supplied with water, beconio a source of grave discomfort and menace when a plentiful supply is withdrawn. The condition of things 111 this respect in the First Ward is at the present tt ee most deplorable and citizens residing there who are taxed heavily 011 the large values of their property a nd pay for a supply of water are forced to live in a condition of continuous discomfort.

To make the water supply abundant from tho Navy Yard to Red Hook Point will require tho laying uf a new main from ttie Ridgewood Reservoir (O the western portion of the city, but to lay such a main involves a large amount of work and wuuld require at lea two years in construction. In the 1110:111 time, the l'irst and contiguous wards should not lie left witliout relief, and that may be had by laying a sixteen inch main from tlie reservoir 01: Pro qieet Heights to the First Ward.

Adopted. The following was adopted: Jlesolrrrt, nut the Commissioner of City Works be and hereby is requested to cause plans for such relief or auxiliary sewers as in his judgment are needed to be constructed for the relief of sewers constructed in any drainage district in the city to be prepared, as also estimates of the same, and submit the same to the Water and Drainage Committee of this Common Council, that they may examine into the same aud make report to this Common Council thereon.

Murphy has recoived a letter from Park President Woodward congratulating him upon the success of the Sunday concert at Prospect l'ark. The following concluding paragraph of the General's letter indicates that he will uot qualfy under the Mayor's appointment. "I hope my successor will take as much pains, as it would be a pleasure for 1110 to do, to have a success right along." Tho Mayor sent in tho following letter from Colonel Uoehr and it was referred to the Law Committee: Deaii Sin By purchase the Brooklyner Zeitnng. with all its privileges, franchises, has passed iuto my hands, July ti, and the publication of the same stopped last Saturday. As there is now, therefore, but one German daily paper in tho city, namely, the Freie Presse, published by the it follows that the same must be designated by tiie Common Council as one of tho corporation newspapers.

As this, however, would cause loss of time ami nullify the advertisements running in the late Brooklyner Zeltuna, as their term of insertions could hot be completed, and thereby block up the business of the city for some time, I have concluded to add the name of the Zeituna to that of the Freie J'resne, and publish the same hereafter under the name of the Brooklyner Freie und Brooklune.r Zeiiuny. By this process the businos ot the city can proceed without any intermission if you will instruct the chiefs of departments to address their advertisements as above. Very respectfully, Hesisv 13.

A Colored Han's Iisc((e for Stealing" I'ig. Arthur Smith, a wiry looking old colored man, jointly indicted with William Enright for stealing a pig and selling it for $10, was called for pleading to day before Judge Cowing, in Part General Sessions, New York. "I am guilty of the charge," ejaculated Smith, when he reached the bar, "and 1 want to be treated according to law." "What made you steal the pig 7" asked Judge Cowing. "Well, I dunno, sir," answered the prisoner, "but I s'pect it was most axidcntal. I do hope and trust, sir, that I ueber do sich a thing agin.

And hereafter, from dis yero moment, I will alius hate pig because it bring me in bad trouble." Smith, who is white haired and 1(13 years old, was sent to the Penitentiary for three mouths. TIIE PKOF'KSSOIMX A CAD PLIGHT. Edwin Chicklcy, "professor of athletics," arrested on Saturday evening iu tho Amphion Academy by Officer Dunn, was produced this morning beforo Justice Goetting, on complaint of William Tamplin, of 110 Roebling street, who deposed that, having agreed to purchase of defendant a watch and chain valued at $20,011 installments of r0 cents a week, he commenced paying on April 22, 1888, and continued to pay regularly up to April 2.2, 1889; that by tho terms of "the agreement complainant on the last payment was to receive tho watch and chain, but that on his demanding them defendant refused to let him have cither the goods or the money; that defendant had represented himself to ho the "manager of the Groat American Watch Club Company." Tho justice held the prisoner for examination on July 18. WUE.VS CASE SUBMLTTKD. 'The Btiit of George Wron, ex elerk of Justice Goetting's Court, for reinstatement was submitted to the court to day without argument.

At tho Essox Market Police Conrt, Notv York, this moraine, JuBtice Dnffy sentenced tho wife beater to the inland for six montlis.

On July 2 Captain Kenny, of the Eighteenth Precinct was intrusted with a warrant for the arrest of Robert Vanderberfi on tho charge of stealing about $75 from tho Atlantic Avenue Railroad. Vauderborg became a watchman for the company at the time of tho Btrike last winter. As 'such it was his duty to receive from the conductors at night their receipts for fare and to place the money in a box kept for that purpose. On tlie mottling of tho 3d of July, about 6 o'clock, lie disappeared and so did tho contents of the box. This coincidence impressed the officers of the company and the police with tho belief that Robert stole the cash.

At any rate it was found very difficult to catch him, and only for a sweetheart of his he might now be enjoying the blessings ml freedom, with the thermometer 03 in the shade. The ease was given to Deteotive Sergeant Doyoy and Patrolman Hill, of the Eighteenth Precinct. They ascertained that for some time Vandcrberg had lived with a MrH. Reilly at 270 Ninth street. Mrs.

Reilly is about 45, abfiut tho height and width of Alderman Mattrer, and to day when spoke of the $0 which sho said Vanderberg also took from her on July 3, she looked if she would like to have fclnj job of punishing him. The detectives next ascertained that tho man they were looking for had a sweetheart in East New York. Thsy found her and told her Vanderberg was about to hiavo the city with another girl. The young woman theu joined heartily iu tho chase aud William Richardson's watchman was soon in a cell. It is said that on July 3 he sent to tho Old Country a girl named Kate Stoddard to whom he was engaged to be married.

When taken before Captain Kenny he was askeiXwhero ho lived. "I live here just now," he said. "That is not answering my Question," said the captain; "Where do you live 7" "That is not a proper question for me to answer," replied the prisoner. Robert Vauderberg's right name is Edward McDonald, and the accent of Kerry i3 still on his lips. The police say ho is a mystery to them, iu this, that while he says lie has been in Syracuse Albany and other places iu this Stato, they cannot lind anything about previous to his entering the service of tho Atlantic Avenue Company.

Mrs. Reilly was in the Butler street court day ready to testify against him, and so were President Richardson and his son. The examination was put down for tho 12th instant by Judge Tigho. Vanderberg is 33 years of age. ACKER WANTS A COMMISSION.

In the Court of Sessions in Queens County, this morning, application was made for a commission to inquire into the sanity of Henry C. Acker, who is under indictment for shooting his wife at a hotel in East Norwich. Judge Garretson laid tha matter over until Wednesday. Benjamin W. Downing, who appeared for Acker before Judge Bartlctt, has withdrawn from his defense.

It is said that Acker is penniless. BRIDGE PLACES. New York Will Seize Some of Them To day. Brooklyn's Grip on the Ci Strnctnre Likely to be Relaxed This Afternoon. Isidor Wonn ier for Vice President.

The regular monthly meeting of the Trustees of the Brooklyn Bridge will bo held this afternoon at tho ofiice on Sands street, and unless all signs fail its results will be of a highly disappointing nature to several salaried employes of the big structure and a source of considerable worri ment to others over what the future may bring forth. The report of the committee, appointed at the request of Mayor Grant at the special meeting on June 23, to make nominations for officers of the Board other than president will bo made to day. The committee consists of Messrs. Myers. Controller of New York, Schwab and Lawrerce, for New York, and Keeney and Anderson and President Howell, ex officio, for Brooklyn, President Howell, when asked this morning if any changes would be recommended by the committee, said he had not met with them and knew nothing of their intentions.

Secretary Beam has called no meeting of the committee. A New York member of the Board stated positively to an Eagle reporter at noon to day that it had been decided to do away with the ofiice of consulting engineer, as the incumbent had nothing to do. Colonel William II. Paine holds this position now, and bus held it for the past four 3 ears. The salary is a year and tho ortico was given lo Colonel Paine when he left the position of assistant engineer on the bridge to take that of chief engineer of tho Third Avenue Railroad Company's Tenth avenuo cable road, in New York.

Colonel Payne invented tho grip used 011 the bridge cable railway.nml the compensation above named was allowed him iu lieu of a fixed stun for his patent. It is the opinion of persons conversant with bridge affairs that the New York trustees have decided upon the discharge of Colonel Paine, without a full knowledge of tlie circumstances, and that when they are confronted with the fact that the bridge will stand liable for Paine's grip, which is still used, the case will assume a different complexion iu their eyes. The Eaui.k's informant further stated that the ofiice of superintendent of tolls was to be abolished and a new office of treasurer and auditor, which should include the duties of the superintendent of tolls, created. This new ofiice is to be salaried and tho incumbent placed under bonds. Who has been selected for the place the trustee would not divulge.

Henry 11. Van Kcuren is the present superintendent of tolls. Trustee Isidor Wormser, of New York, will be named for vice president of the Board, and a committee appointed to go over the details of the management of the bridge with Superintendent Martin, when that oflieial returns from Europe, with a view to re organizing the methods in vogue and to the reduction of expenses at all possible points. The New York members, added the trustee in question, had been under the impression that thero were a number of elective olliees on the bridge aside from those of president and vice president to be Idled and the discovery that such was not the fact had caused them to materially alter their plans. HE IS NOT YET NAMED.

A Successor to Hie I.nle K.xcinc Cominis sinner Cumiijttrlitiui. It was widely reported in local political circles this morning that to day Mayor Chapin would appoint a successor to tiie late Excise Commissioner John Cunningham. Humor had it that the Mayor had decided to concede the commissioner ship to the Sixth Ward. Mr. Cunningham lived in the Twelfth Ward, and for that reason it was thought his successor would come from the same locality.

This opinion being generally entertained in tho Twelfth Ward, various candidates from that section of tho city tried to impress the Mayor with their litne.ss for the place. Several names were submitted to the Mayor by Alderman Coffey. Among the candidates from the Twelfth were John Anghlim. Frank Hennessey, William Kent ler, Hon. Daniel O'Reilly and ex Charities Commissioner Foran.

The latter did not 11111 ke any vigorous efforts to win the Mayor's favor; ho contented himself with saying he would take the ofliee if it was presented to him. Up to Saturday there were no less than fifteen candidates for the oftice, all living iu the Twelfth Ward. O'Reilly dropped out of tho race when ho found that so many of his neighbors desired to succeed Cunningham. There are some South Brooklyn politicians who believe that Alderman Coil'ey encouraged these various candidates so that when the time for making an appointment should come he might say that be could not recommend any particular candidate, all being his friends. And these same politicians believe that the Alderman has all along quietly favored tho appointment of Mr.

Cahill.of the Sixth Ward, a Federal officeholder who removed from the Twelfth Ward about three years ago. Some of the several candidates from the Twelfth would uot be competent to intelligently discharge the duties of Excise CommisBioiier.aiid this fact en conrages tho belief that they were put into the field solely for the purpose of making it difficult for the Mayor to make a selection from the Twelfth Ward list. The appointment of ex Congressman O'Reilly would please many residents of his ward, but would probably displease Alderman Coffey. Eaoi.e reporter Mr. Mayor, shall you appoint an Excise Commissioner to day? Mayor Chapin I doubt it.

OF COURSE, THEY DOUBT IT. Tne Gaotcrn District Police Take tlie I'stiul ICnxy Course. In a morning paper the police theory in regard to the burglary at 14!) Maujer street 011 Friday night intimates that the story of the robbery lacks credibility, and that tho owner of the money, Mrs. Eugenie Hassenstein, is in Franco. But Mrs.

Eugenie Hassenstein, it appears, sold out the store to her daughter in law last Spring, previous to her departure for France, and had no ownership there at all. The family live on the second floor, and young Mrs. Hassenstein being in poor health about a month ago engaged a voung German girl well recommended. Three days previously, however," some jewelry had been stolen, with the theft of which she naturally connects the yet undetected burglar. The whereabouts of the J410 wero known, Mrs.

Hassenstein says, to ono or two individuals outside of the family, ono of whom has not been seen in tho neighborhood since. Tho case was given to Detective Ihne, of the Sixth Precinct.

Huh Ii Smith one of Brooklyn's most eminent divines, had beet, invited to fill tho pulpit for two Sundays Tie llrooklyn preacher complied with tho winhes the eone resration and yesterday mad i his first aisn nranco in Wash inyton. lie a short, tctocliy Keutlc.man, oem. inj dy with apoplectic tendem ie lie announced hiit topic to he "The Tree of taking his text from the twenty second chapter of JievelatioiiH, fourteenth ver. e. and lmd been Kpeakiui; about ten minutes.

Suddenly ho btap; Itet'ed backward, his face becomine; ashy palo, and he would have fallen down the steps of tho puipit but for the timely assistance of Dr. J. 0. Adams and another Kcntlcinan who sat in thefronl row of pews and caii'fht him in their arms. bei'Bol' the coiisreiiation spranj; to their feet ad tho prostrated preacher was slowly borne to a resting place where he could be examined by physicians.

It was, however, anione: the lady worshipers that the proatest excitement prevailed, and cries arose from all portions of the auditorium, many believing, as they subsequently stated, that Dr. Carpenter had died of apoplexy. In the midst of the excitement, and as if to add to the confusion, Mrs. W. M.

Gait, whose husband, a retired million, aire jeweler, died suddenly a few months aio, was prostrated by the shock, and had to be removed from the church. Moanwhiie at the left of the pulpit a croup of friends and relatives surrounded Dr. Carpenter, whom the physicians succeeded in restorinu after he had been partly unconscious for about ten minutes. In the treatment of the case Ihe doctors found it iiccessary to remove the preacher's collar and cravat, but as soon as ho was assisted to his feet ho declared his intention of completini; his sermon. This, however, he was di sitaded from doiny, but before disiimsin, the coiiereration, he said: "Yon havo had a practical illustration of my sermon, for I was ou the point ot discussing tho question of vitality." Dr.

Carpenter, who is a brother in law of ex Senator Van Wyek. of Nebraska, is about the allotted ace of man, and when lie went to church yesterday moriiinir he complained that he felt weak from a recent attack of Kastritis. According to the theory of the doctor the blood suddenly lefl the clergyman's head, tilts heini; expected in cases similar to his complaint. But as he has a stout, thick neck, untiling of an apoplectic nature was demonstrated. Services lit tha church were curtailed considerably by this incident, but the preacher maintained phickily thai he did not need a can iuite to convey him to his hotel and walked off with his brother in law and Dr.

Adams. Asiiifjular coincidence was noted in connection with Dr. Adams' services in this case, rowitur out of tlie fact that for the past four Sundays ho has been called upon to render professional aid to some member of the New York Avenue Church who had been prostrated during church seivices. The doctor had been Kteppinir since Saturday at the Kbbitt House, but after the. fainting spoil Senator Van Yi'ycko insisted on his leaving tha hotel and makiim a visit to his residence on Massachusetts avenue, corner of Nineteenth street.

Last ninlii the doctor and the Senator attended the Church of the Covenant, which is only a block from the cx nator'M house. Today the Brooklyn minister has entirely recovered. Dr. Ciirpentei 'ii kou, lioscwell II. Carpenter, received a telegram this moriiiiii; in his ofliee, 44 Court street, Unit his father would arrivo home to ititrht.

Dr. IIul'Ii Smith Carpenter was born at Fort Hamilton over i.ixty years ago. Ho was lirst pastor of the State Street Coiicretfational Church, Portland, 31c. to this city ho was installed pastor of the SYctniinster Presbyterian Chinch, at First place and Clinton street, where he remained eleven years, and duriiiif that time raised all the money necessary to finish that ediiiee. From there he went to the Howard Presbyterian Church, San Francisco, and whilo there was a regular contributor to the Overland Monthly.

He lias always been a resident of this city, with the exception of the two periods above noted, lie is the author of many religious works "Sunrise iu the "Hera and Beyond" and "Transition."

In Spite of Her Grandmother's Opposition. A Marriafre Which Has Stirred Up Adams Street Tho Eagle Breaks the News to the Old Lady. There was a good deal of excitement ou Wally Janvrin's block 011 Adams street, between Concord and Tillary, yesterday "afternoon when it was learned that that interesting young man had just been married 011 the sly. Wally's full namo is Wallace Bruce Janvrin. Ho is a waiter in a German restaurant on Jteade street, New York.

His father, George Janvrin, sells fish. Wally is a lively young man, well known throughout tho Fourth Ward. For some time he has been smitten with Ella Louise Silsbee, daughter of the lato Richard Silsbee. Ella was raised by her grandmother, a very pious old lady of great wealth and hard common sense, who lives in tho brown stone house 21 St. Felix street.

Ella's father died nineteen years ago. Her younger sister, Jessie, and her mother live with Grandmother Silsbee. Wally's romance has been in progress less than a year. Ho met Ella at Sister Gardner's mission, in South Brooklyn. Sister Gardner runs a restaurant on week days and a prayer meeting on Sunday, and Wally used to feed her customers through tho week and pray for them on tho Sabbath.

The couple met frequently at tho mission until, finally, Wally's heart got so full of love ho thought it would burst, so he adopted the prudent course and opened the safety valve and allowed the surplus to trickle down from the end of his tongue iu the shape of earnest protestations of affection. Ella Louise said sho reciprocated Wally's affection and thoy resolved to give stern old Grandmother Silsbee the slip and get married. This was not easy to do, as Grandmother Silsbee kept a sharp lookout over her granddaughters. Ella made an ineffectual effort to get out on the evening of the Fourth of July by saying she wanted to go to Fort Greene to see the fireworks, but the old lady said the view of the pyrotech 11ic.1l display from the front porch was good enough to stitisfy any member of the family. This was disappointing to Wally.

for he had engaged Pastor Laiuc, of the Johnson Street M. E. Church, to perform tho ceremony, and the pastor waited in vain till bedtime. Wally and his friend, Addison V. Halleck, attired in their best clothes, also waited for Ella, but she did not appear at the rendezvous and Wally went to bed in disgust.

Yesterday they were more fortunate. Ella waited until Grandmother Silsbee was asleep aud then she asked her aunt, the old lady's unmarried daughter, if she could go to Sister Gardner's mission. Miss Silsbee gave her consent and Grandmother Silsbee dozed unsuspiciously on while Ella and her sister Josio got aboard a Deh'alb avenuo car and went straight to Wally's house, Adams street, where Wally and his friend Halleck were waiting. Tho party proceeded to Taster Laine's hon where tho ceremony was performed. Wally kissed the.

bride and she and her sister hastened back to 31 St. Felix street. Wally went home. Ualleck spread the news quietly among Wally's friends an 1 dwelt 011 tlie bride's great beauty and charms of speech and manners. An Eaiii.p.

reporter called at 21 St. Felix street to day to learn what Grand ma Silsbee thought of what Ella Louise had done. A plain looking girl in a calico wrapoer, with her hair combed Quaker fashion across her forehead, opened tho door. She held a dish rag in one hand and the reporter took her to be the servant. She led him into an elegantlv furnished parlor, went and called old Mrs.

Silsby and disappeared down the basement stairs. Old Mrs. Silsby greeted the reporter kindly. She is tall and tolerably stout, has a benevolent face on which are stamped good sense, piety and determination of character. Her gray eyes looked out through gold rimmed spectacles.

The reporter was the first to eonmiunicUe tho news of the marriage to her and she nearly collapsed with astonishment and indignation. She called her daughter up and told her of the marriage, and Jessie, who had been hovering around iu the dark hallway listening to what was going on, went down the basement stairs two steps at a time to prepare the bride for the denouement. Well, well!" exclaimed Grandmother Silsbee to her daughter. "Well, well," exel limed Miss Silsbee to her mother. Grandmother Silsbee went to the top of the basement stairs and called down, sternly, "Louise." There was no response.

Miss Silsbee went down stairs and reappeared, followed meekly bj tho bride of a day, who sidled into the parlor, one step at a time, holding her head down, and with her apron lifted half way up to her head, ready to bide a burst of grief. Her comprehensive ga.e took in everything witliout seeming to take in anything. "Well, Ella, so you aro married 1" said Grandmother Silsbee. "Yessim." "Aud who to!" "Wally." "Haven't you had a good home here "Yessim. "What did you get married for?" "I followed your orders, sir," she replied, loudly and defiantly.

"How so "You told 1110 the other day to go and get married and you'd wash your bauds of the whole job." "Umph." "Humph." Ella Louise was sent back into the basement. Mrs. Silsbee told the reporter that her granddaughter wis a little off mentally. The reporter had gathered, from her talk ami manner, that she was far from bright. Mrs.

Silsbee said she had done everything she could to prevent the marriage. "I have considere I Ella not a proper person to ever get married. I've read so much in the. papers, too, about nian'i iire being a failure. I've kept Ella away from J1111 vren.

He called here three Once he was druul? and I told him I'd have hiin arrested if he didn't leave. Another time he told me he wanted to marry Ella. I told him he was running great risks in taking a strange girl, lie said he'd take he eh I told him he couldn't marry Ella and warned him to keep away, understand lie's not blight himself. He must be crazy. Don't put much in the paper.

Let the thing blow over as soon possible. I don't know what I'll do with Ella. I don't think the marriage can stand. On his way down town the reporter dropped in at Adams street, he round Papa rin, fat and contented looking, seated iu hi shirt sleeves by the open window of his humble parlor, calmly reflecting over tho joyous possibilities of life. When the reporter mentioned Wally's marriage he smiled.

"Wally's a good boy," he said. "Where is lie now?" "At work. He's going to set up housekeeping next Monday." "Do you know the bride?" "Yes; nice girl," he said, with a long smile. "The old woman's rich." TOOK CARI10L1C ACID, An Unknown Woman Wlio Waa Sent Here from Canarsic. Mary Lambert, 'io years of age, was taken to the Jai! at 12 o'clock lat night by a Canarsic constable.

She was committed by Justice Wilson, of that place, on a charge of vagrancy. The woman was tall, of sallow complexion and dark hair and was handsomely dressed. The constable in whose custody she was taken to the Jail told Warden Drymcr to watch her closely, as she might be sick. He said that she was suspected of having taken a drug. The woman had every appearance of being ill, but would not say anything about herself.

She was locked up in a cell and a watch kept on her. About (i o'clock this morning the prisoner had a bad turn. One of the keepers was called and found her in a fit. Ambulance Surgeon Roman was summoned and made a hasty diagnosis. Ho became satisfied that the woman was suffering from carbolic acid poisoning and caused her to be removed to the City Hospital.

An effort was made there to revive her, but without any success. The ph3' siciiuis notified Coroner Rooney. The lalter'wcnt to the hospital at noon for the purpose of taking her ante mortem statement, but found her unconscious. She was then rapidly sinking and gave no promise of regaining her senses. Her symptoms confirmed the surgeon's diagnosis that she had taken carbolic acid.

The physicians said that she would not outlive the day. No one at the jail or at the hospital could lcaru anything of her antecedents. It was ascertained late this afternoon that the woman attempted to drown herself last night at Canarsic. HIS SKULL FRACTURED. Tlie Ma 11 a per of a Merry Round haw a Sad Experience.

Erhardt BachmanYi. a middlo aged German, has been running a merry go round for a week in tho lots on Gates avenue, near Tompkins. His reception by the residents of that section of the city was not of tho best and tho small boys havo been very persistent in annoying him. On Saturday night a number of young men took a hand in pestering tho German and the latter chased them. Five of the party returned to the attack and commenced to throw stones at the inoffensivo manager of tho merry go round.

One of the missiles struck Bachmann over tho right eye, fracturing the skull, and then tho crowd scattered. Bachmann was taken to St. JIary's Hospital, where he is doing nicely at present. Detectives Lenehan and Hayes arrested Henry Kiornan, aged 18, of TJ3 GateB avenue: Michael Clarke, aged 22, of 727 Gates avenue; Frederick Keller, 19, of 580 Gates avenue; William Dillon, 18, of 504 Quincy street, anrl Henry Reiman, 81, of 588 Gates avenue. This morning tho quintet wero arraigned before Justice Kenna and held.

THE OWXKBSIIir OF THE OOAT DISPUTED. Michael Pierri, an Italian, of 73 Front street, sued Patriok Kolly, of Van Cott avenue, beforo Justice Englo to day for $10 for the wrongful detention of a goat. The Italian swore that ho severed the animal's horn and slit its car with a Btiletto a year ago for the purposes of idonliHca tion. Mr. Kelly held that he had tho goat for four years.

Williams on Saturday night at tho Kingston avenue grossing, wero arraigned before Justice Kenna this morning on a charge of homicide. Both pleaded not guilty, and were bailed pending an examination. Information "Which Was Withheld by the Police.

Why Coroner Lindsay Did Not Take Annie Stralile's Statement Isn't it Time Same one Was Arrested? On Saturday evening tho police of the Sixth Precinct were informed that Annie Strahle, ased 18 years, daughter of Gottlieb Strahle, a framer, had taken poison, with suicidal intent, at their rooms on tho first floor of the double tenement house Bnshwick avenuo. Unto 10 o'clock on Saturday night all iufor niatiou regarding the case was withheld by the police of the Sixth Precinct. There seems to have been a concerted effort in more Quarters than one to screen somebody by keeping the case from the papers. Coroner Lindsay says that when ho reached tho place he wanted to take tho girl's statement, but that she refused to make oath to what she told him, and that, having consulted with Assistant District Attorney Clark, he fotttid unless ho had a sworn statement ho had no right to make any arrests. The Coroner, admitting that the young woman mentioned the names of a young man and a onng woman implicated in the case, refused to divulge them, tfo denied that he took down tho girl's statement in writing.

His omission, however, to perform this part of his duty will be supplied at the inquest by the written statement of the girl herself, which was taken by Dr. Ementraut in the presence of witnesses, he fearing that she would die before the arrival of the Coroner. This statement has been handed over to the Coroner by Dr. Ementraut. The names withheld by tho Coroner are, tho mother says, thoso of Henry Rogers, the girl'B lover, and Susan Maupai, one of her acquaintances.

A third party, said to be a midwife, is as yet to be found. The girl, it Appears, left home on Thursday, she said to go to tho Western District. She returned homo that afernoon, and next day became sick and grew worse till her death. She admitted that she had been advised to boil some rue and take it, and that she must have taken too much of the decoction. It is agreed that in the statements made to Dr.

Ementraut, to tho Coroner and her mother, she said that Rogers tried to dissuade her from her purpose of taking the drug. To her mother she stated that her companion urged her to take the drug. Coroner Lindsay at noon yesterday impaneled a jnry and intimated that ho would hold the inquest in the course of tho week. MAUP.IED IV MAY. The Announcement, Itowcvcr.

Ik Not Made Until Jtily William H. Kay, of 1G8 South Second street, and Miss Elbe Brutidage, of 217 street, Greenpoint, were married on May 0 by Rev. Dr. Sproull. of the Noble Street Presbyterian Church, although the tying of tho nuptial knot was not made public until yesterday in the shape of a marriage notice in one of the New York papers.

The announcement caused considerable snrpriso among the young couple's friends, owing to the fact that both have lived apM't. Mrs. Kay is living with her parents, although sho is now at Sea (Tift' spending the Summer, while her husband is stopping with his parents. Mrs. Kay, the mother of the groom, does not seem to relish the marriage, although she won't sayso outright.

Ac cording to a sister of the younger Mrs. Kay her husband seems to be afraid to take his wife to his mother's home. Both families are highly connected. A MVK STEER FOUND IN TI1K BAV. A steer was found alive in the lower bay yesterday.

The Youngr Man for Whom the Lashinsr Was Intended Failed to Keep His Ap pointment. Annie Leaf, the prima donna of (ho llorfzberg Casino Opera Company at West Brighton. Coney Island, has been annoyed by the uninvited attentions of a young man, who, for the past week, has been sending her bouqnats and requesting itiSer views. He finally intimated that he would call at thestago door 011 Sunday night at 10 o'clock, and Annie secured a whip. As luck would have it tlie young man failed to keep his promise, but Sol l'iinental, the ll.ior manager for Moritz Hevtz berg.

a Chesteriield ill manner, went to Leaf's dressing room with a message. She expected the dii le and, opening the door suddenly, gave Pimetilal several hearty thwacks before she discovered her mistake. After lb young man's hat had been knocked over his eyes and his coat had been dusted, she apologized and, of course, was forgiven. It is doubtful now whether her persistent but obnoxious admirer will venture any more attentions. TIIE REPORTERS' ROTE BOOK.

MONDAY EVENING, JULY 8. 1880. SULLIVAN WINS Xate Hews from the Scene of the Prize Fight. Jfho Bis Fellow Said to Have Whipped Kilraiu in the Sercnty second Roniid at Ricliburs, Miss. New Orleans, July 8.

It in reported this afternoon that Sullivan won Beventy seeonil round. The fight ended at 1 P. M. About two thirdB of the men in Brooklyn appear to havo Bpeut thin morning inquiring about the result of tho Sullivaii Kilrain fiuht. Great crowd gathered at Charley Johnston's and Doniinick Itoche u.

The hunger for newa was frantic, but 110 news came except a diHpatch at 0:30 o'clock, which said on the authority of the Baltimore American that Sullivan won in eight rounds. An hour later a dispatch from nowhere in particular, snid that the Baltimore American's correspondent had told the truth. Then there was silence for an hour a half from the telegraph wires and the sports uptown, who filled all the saloons in the neighborhood of the Ila.ll, and who were wild With excitement, kept the Eaolk telephone rinsing like mad with their inquiries. A great number of rumors got afloat in various ways. For instance, an Eaoi.i: reporter telephoned to a companion in the office from an uptown resort asking for the latest.

Not having any news, the man in the ofliee replied: "They've both been arrested." The reporter at the other end of the telephotio repealed this and there was an immediate sensa tion. Two minutes later the canard was out on "the bulletin board of a rival sheet. About ten o'clock a rumor came from somewhere to the effect that Kilraiu had whipped Bnllivan, and live minutes later it was rumored that Sullivan had broken Kilrain's Jaw in the third round. At 1 I o'clock a dispatch arrived in the Eacile oilice uayitirr that the men had not cone to the ring till o'clock. This, of course, disposed of previous dispatches.

The fighting ground was in the heart of a big pine woods in the lonliest part of Mississippi, near liichburg, 1 miles from New Orleans, and there was not a telegraph station within five. At that distance there was a single wire, but as the Western Union had refused to let the way station wires be used for press news, the only thing for tho reporters to do was to go to New Orleans to telegraph. To do this they would have to wait for the fight to conclude and hen for their special train to return to the Orescent City, as trains are rare on the railroad. Now the special train was under the control of tho backers and managers of the pugilists, and it was their object above all things to avoid the authorities, who were iu dead earnest trying to capture the fighters. It was uot by any means certain, therefore, that Hte special would go straight back to New Orleans.

In order to save themselves from the wrath of the raging Governor of Missisippi, who had ordered out the State troops, the managers of the pugilists engaged all the rolling stock of the little Northeastern liailroad and towed it with them to the ring side, leaving the Governor and his infantry, cavalry and artillery to follow on foot. The Governor has not been heard from since. The troops are sixty miles away from the ring and the walking is very bad. At 1:15 this dispatch came to hand: Cincinnati, 0., July R. It ie reported here, from a reliable source, that Sullivan and Kilrain were lighting at 1 A.

M. The contest was long one, and Sullivan was having the best of it, and was sure to win. Kot much faith was placed in the "reliable heard from via Cincinnati. The only "reliable sourco'' would be a reporter who had reached a telegraph station, lie would send a good deal more than the above. The amount of the gate money and stakes United is nearly The long silence was rather a favorable omen.

It looked as if the Sight was going on in a very remote spot. A fizi de would be heard from much quicker than a fight. The principals started for the ring in fine condition. They went on the same train, which was made up of two palace ears and a box car. Tho box car was between the rivals.

Jack Barnett, Biiiy Muldoon, Mike Jimmy Wakeley, Charley Johnston and Liney Tracey are behind Sullivan and Dominick McCaffrey, Mike Donovan, Charley Mitchell and Johnny Murphy arc with Kilrain. Ricnnmui, Miss. July 8. The fight train arrived at 0. After worrying around for half tlie night, and speculating on the chances for a tight, people at the hotels, the clubs and 0:1 tho street, moved with common impulse toward the depot.

At 1 1 o'clock people trusted not to street cars, but took cabs and carriages, and every in the city did aland olVice business. Down at the depot there was an inje scribn bio crush. Just before the train was finally lie .0 up. Attorney General Kogers came aboaid witli Adjutant General I 'aircs. Colonel 'A'allu r.

At first no answer was inieic lint file otlicials were finally told that the 11 would not light in Louisiana. It was expected that the troops would appear at the depot, but oT the two companies in the city, one could muster but forty men and the other only a baker's dozen. In reply to a requisition made on them by the Governor train accommodations for the troops the railroad people replied that the State ennid not be aeeomma dated since all the ir rolling stoek had luen chartered. The Governor was.

All their baggage, tronhi water, was left behind and Kilrain had to use oilier water, which it was feared might hurt his condition. At the find train, with twelve roaches, pulled out, f'lid the conductor and engineer were given religious instructions to go straight through to the hat tie ground without a stop Aboard the train the information was furnished officially that both Sullivan ami Kilrain had reached the battle ground at There was scarcely any betting at all on the train. Passengers simply talked over the merits of the two men and slept.

On the way over many shots were fired in order to frighten off stealers of rides, and conductors found many tough characters secreted in closets and other nut of the way places. The discovery of one group of these 11011 ticket holders almost precipitated a shooting affray on the way over, but the trouble was avoided by the ejectment of tlie sneaks. On the train poming over wore the chief of police of New Orlean, the commissioner of public build ings'nnd, in fact, most of the prominent oftieials tf the city. The, attorney general and his stall' left the car at Slidell and stood at the railway station until morning, waiting for a returning train.

So perfect were, the arrangements that there was absolutely no fear of military interference, ltiehbmg is virtually owneil by Mr. liich and the place covers an area of 10,000 acres, extending over three counties of Mississippi. Mr. liich is the owner of an extensive saw mill and this place was picked out simply because of the bars it offered to suspicion. Last night, after darkness, body of 100 men went to work by the aid of bonfires to perfect the battle ground, which is on tiie sawdust of the null, and seats for 1.500 people, were hastily constructed.

The owner of the property had made uplendid arrangements for the pugilists and jn.ir ters were provided for Kilrain and his party and also for Sullivan and his party. In these apartments the lighters spent the last night before the fight. At the Mississippi line there was a party of twenty five armed men, and the train was flagged, but 110 attention was paid to the signal, and the special da bed by at a speed of twenty five miles an hour. It was just before drybreak when the train got into Mississippi. JCkw Oiu.uans, July 8.

The ground selected for the fight is lieehburg, Miss. The men, it was expected, would enter the ring at 7 A. M. The place is 1 miles from here. Owing to discourteous treatment by the management of the fight (he Western Union Telegraph Company abandoned its intention of giving special facilities for telegraphing from the battlefield.

The management has treated the press very shabbily, and the leading papers and the press associations have been compelled to pay large prices for tickets, lleporb of the fight will have to be filed at New Orleans, and wilt be considerably delayed in consequence. The telegraph company made every effort to give the press and the sporting people good service, but the managers of the fighl would uot co operate in the effort The Queen and Crescent train which passed the Battle Ground at arrived here I'aBsengers report that the men had not then entered the ring. Information known to lie reliable says the men had not entered the ring at OA. M. There is only one telegraph wire along the division of the Queen and Crescent Kailway which runs near the scene of the prize fight.

'This wire is under the control of the railroad company, and is entirely taken up with railway business. The company refuses to take any press dispatches. According to the bulletin that was allowed to come through a few minutes ago the fight was in progress some three or four miles away from the little Village of Kichburg, which is about one hundred miles from New Orleans. This village ia.ou the Queen and Crescent railroad and it has a telegraph office, but, as already explained, no news dispatches are accepted. Cincinnati, July 8.

A private dispatch recoived here says the sheriff lias arrested the prize fighters, and will not permit them to return to Louisiana. Baltimore, July 8. A dispatch to the Baltimore American says that Bnllivan whipped Kilrain iu the ninth round. A (subsequent din patch doclares that the first dispatch was sent by New Orleans gamblers to influence the betting. EOSTON TRUE TO HEIl FAVORITE SON.

Mr. Kennedy was addreHsinff a well known local Republican and a representative of the E.vu.e stood beaide him and listened to the following arraignment of the Chief Magistrate of thin city: have told Mr.

Ohapin tlm," contiuued Mr. Kennedy, "and he known ju it what I think of him. Mayor Chapin known that I approved hiR election. He recognized me as a Republican, und, as a Republican, ho made me a l'ark Commissioner. I had no ambition to hold ofiice, but I did wish my name to be iJenti fied with noveral Fark improvement;) that I have long been iden tided with.

I did not press these mattera year because the Mayor bosed me not to, that I13 wished to get his local improvement bills first. Now I propose to appeal to the public. Iu order to understand Just how despicably Mayor Chapin has treated mo, I must preface what I have to say, by the statement that Mr. Chaniu and I have been close, personal and intimate friends for a lima time. I fre iliiented liis ho iseand wo there discussed both politics and literature together.

Knowing that I would talk to him.iu a di (interested manner ho often snieiht my opinion on political matters. I know May.ir Chapin dter tlian many men who thinks that they know him well. Three weeks ago yesterday as I was passing his house he called nn; in. We had a pleasant conversation on general topics of interest. Before I left he got down to the subject iu regard to which he desired to confer with 1110.

lie told me what ho proposed to do in regard to tho Park Hoard. "'I he said, 'appoint two Democratic commissioners and reappoint you as a "lie gave me the names of the two Democrats that he had selected, but I do not care to mention (heir s.

I havo determined to appoint "This, I supposed, settled the. matter, and 1 looked upon my appointment as ouiy a question of time. A few days after I had this interview with the Mayor he. saut for me and, after some little hesitation, said: Mr. Kennedy, since I last saw yon I have had a talk with Mr.

James and Mr. McLaughlin, and I find that they are opposed to the appointment of one of the Democrats whoso name I gave you 011 Sunday, and that they will not have you under any "Mr. I said, "you know what as a man of honor you ought to do. This is a te.it ease. If you yield to these men they will fee! that they have the right to dictate all your future political movements.

and McLaughlin need you as much as you need them, and they will not dare to throw you over." "The Mavor, however, did not agree wiih me. liesai.l that his renomination depended upon his actinu with tlie local leaders of his party. On the night after I had this interview with tlie Mayor, I culled upon Mr. Frederick A. SiOiroeder.

I told him what the situation was, repeated 1 1 him just what tlie Mayor had said to me and asked his advice as to what ho would do were he. in my place. Mr. Sehfoeder's reply I cau never forget, ho said: "The Democrats of Brooklyn can all be divided into two classes, the masters und the slaves. I ha I hoped that Mayor Chapin would have said to the local Democratic bosses, 'I propose to be one of the but I find that I have been mistaken 111 Cliaijin.

fie has chosen to stand among the slaves. I do not see any reason why you should help Mayor Chapin out of his political difficulties." "The Mayor sent for me again and again after this. Indeed, he used up most of my time for two weeks in these interviews, lie used every argument ti persuade me to let himolT from his promise. Aniongother things he said if I would accept the situation, he would appoint Dr. Storm for the short term and then drop hint and appoint mo iu his place: (rather tough this, was it not, on so eminent a divine as Dr.

Storvs?) Of course, I would not listen to such a proposal as this. Iu the last interview that I had with Mayor Chapin, Jut before he appointed the Park Commissioners, he said to "Well, Kennedy, if you insist upon it I will appoint "tn other words, p.ftcr placing me in a position in which, as 11 gentleman, I could, not insist upon his appointing me. he invites me to insist upon it, replied: "Mr. I will not insist upon your appoint inir me if on do not know your duty. I certainly shall not force You know as we'd as I what yon ought to do." This was my last interview with Mayor Chapin.

V011 know how he acted, and I leave the public to judge whether I am right in saying that he is destitute of personal honor. There are many tilings which I cannot repeat, but if you had heard, as I have, the opinions which Chapin has expressed in the past of certain of his present political associates, you would woo how he can have those opinions, and have au.vthing to do with them, but polities makes iiueev bedfellows." 11IIO01U.Y.N' OKI'S NOTHING. Collector "IV Appointments From 'J'Isif City. It is liicv two weeks since the Executive Committee id the Republican General Committee had its lint of candidate:) for Custom House places property pluee efore Collector Krhardt for his consideration, under an agreement with tlie New York organization, which accorded two berths to each ward and town iu Kings County, and no response has come to cheer the hearts of the eli gibles. As a result of this dilatoriuess a deep and vociferous howl is going up from the thirty wards and towns to know (he hichness of the why.

To night tlie Kiecutive Committee will meet in Montague street to cuss the situation and bemoan the way things go. Brooklyn hasn't received a single appointment in the Custom House; not even so much as a day laborer. Kings Comity cannot understand this. Up to the time this official list was presented the New York organization was inclined to be grumpy because it wasn't gelling anything out of the Navy Yard and blamed Brooklyn for it. The Executive Committee explained with great detail (hat the organization over here wasn't responsible for this state of affairs.

This explanation was accounted satisfactory by the Now York magnates, and Brooklyn opened its mouth agape to rsceive Custom House pap at once. It hasn't come, and the yawning jaws are aching. Meanwhile New York began getting things in the yard, including tho boss blacksmith, the buss coppersmith, the boss plumber, the boss teamster, and twenty two workmen hail from New York, as well as two clerks. Brooklyn has had live clerks located, but out of a couple of hundred men who got lobs not more than half of that many, according to the ward leaders, are now at work. They've been laid off.

The first of July opens a new fiscal year and the old excuse of lack of money won't do. A week has passed in the new year and discharges, not appointments, have been the rule. The situation in most of the wards was graphically described this morning by Theodore of the Sixteenth, anent, politics in that Teutonic territory. said Mr. AVieh, with great scorn.

There aint no politics. There aint enough patronage to be any." Meanwhile the New Yorkers are raising the cry that Brooklyn will not get anything until the town sits down quietly and says "please" in a modest The New York organization is controlling the Custom House and has calmly credited Mr. Stan wood, Secretary Blaine's nephew, to Brooklyn, because ho lives hero. He got the place through his relationship, and was not indorsed by the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee do not consider that Mr.

Stanwood counts in any way toward satisfying local claims. The hope was expressed this morning that by and by everything would come out all right and that New York would see how much Brooklyn amounted to and would cease to be arrogant. Ex Police Court Clerk George Wren, of the Sixteenth Ward, is hunting for the Assembly nomination in the Seventh District, comprised by that ward. Tho German Republicans are not specially favorablo to George's ambition. Tho idea that a German should represent an entirely German community is very potent over there.

TO UTILIZE AS ABANDONED KOUTE. Viiiott Road Officials May Yet Operate tlie ISiKlnon Avenue lane. Tho directors of the Union Elevated road havo been considering the advisability of utilizing that portion of thoir Hudson avenue route be 'tween Myrtle and Park for the ferry trains over tho Lexington avenue line. The elevated structure in question has been standing unused since tho Bmashup at the junction of Myrtle and Hudson avenues occurred at tho beginning of the year, and tho question as to what was to be done with the idle lino has been considerably discussed. Tho trains to and from Fulton Ferry over tho old Brooklyn Elevated road all run at present to and from Lexington avenue, via Grand.

Tho now proposition is that they shall run over Hndson avenue, between Myrtlo and Park. Tho trains of the upper Myrtle avenue, route will continue to run to and from Tark avenue, over Grand avenue, JnBt as at present. The only foundation for the report that tho Park avenuo route was to bo abandoned, Superintendent Martin says, that could poBsibly have existed, might havo been a remark let drop that the route was unnecessary, since it was parallel with Myrtlo avenue. Tho question has never even been brought forward for discussion, let alone acted upon. Tho extension of the Myrtle avenue route to Ridgewood will, it is said, bo completed by August 15, aud the Fifth avenue line to Greenwood about the samwdftte.

Each man to have two seconds and a bottle holder.

There shall also be two umpires and a referee. Choice of corners is won by tossing a coin. The inner takes the handkerchief colors of his antagonist as a trophy. refereo must withhold opinion till appealed to by the umpire. That spikes in each fighting shoe be confined to three, to be no more than three eighths of an inch iu length, and no less than one eighth of an inch broad at the point.

Tho man violating this must change his boots or lose the fight. Each round will last till one or both the men go down. At the end of each round half a minute is allowed for rest. Any principal delaying to come to the scratch eight seconds after the call of time loses the fight. Seconds must stay outside the ring till the end of rounds.

Men who violate this shall lose the fight. At the end of rounds seconds can go in the ring to attend their men. Seconds must conduct themselves with order and decorum; must not interfere with tho antagonist of their principal: iilnst not be almsive. The principals must stand up and fight.
