MADE WELCOME The Thirteenth's Enthusiastic Eeception in Cleveland. Warmly Grcetod by the People and Received by tho Authorities With Military and Civic Honors To be Reviewed by Foraker.

Special to tho Eagle. Cleveland, 0., August 20. Tho Thirteenth Regimont arrivod hero this morning at 9:30 o'clock, although until two hours aftor midnight last night, when they should havo left Buffalo, nobody supiwsod that tho party would seo Cleveland to day. All this was because of a prodigious row betweeu Colonel Auston and the railroad people, which was only a continuation of tho difficulty begun when tho company took off Borne of tho ears chartered at the very start at Hobokeu. It was supposed when tho regiment joiiruayed from Niagara to Buffalo yosterday aftornoon that tho matter had been amicably settled and tho regimont was to have aa many of iho ears contracted for as wore desired.

Tho Brooklyn men spent tho afternoon and evening according to suit themselves in Buffalo and at midnight marched to tho depot. Quartermaster Wonior, who was Bent ahead, reported to Colonel Austen that a car had been taken from the train. said the colonol, "wo don't move a step until it is put on again." Tho men wero marched into tho depot just in time to escape a drenching rain, which lasted an hour, and took the most comfortable attitudes they could on fences and hand tracks, while parley aftor parley ensued betweon the officers and the railroad men. The matter was not cleared up till 2 A. when a promise was secured that the absent car should be added to the train on the run up to Cleveland, and tho regiment boarded the cars and made the At the Forest City, which was reached at 0:110 A.

the reports of enthusiastic welcome which had preceded the command wero found not to havo been exaggerated. A battery on the hill, just back of the station, boomed thirteen times, in honor of the "Mother of Regiments," as the ears rolled in amid crowds of snic tators who lined the way from tho station to the Holleuden Hotel, where tho Biook lynites had been provided with quarters. Tho crack Euclido Light Infantry, Captain T. B. S.

Morgan, formerly captain of Company of tho Thirteenth, received tho regiment, and with their liaudsom. ly uniformed band escorted them up Superior street and past the City Hall, where a reviewing stand, occupied by pro inincnt city officials and military men was passed. Colonel Allen T. Brinsmade, of this city, reviewed tlie columns aud maile a speech welcoming the guests on behalf of the city government, and the several military organizations of Cleveland. On behalf of the mayor and the municipality the speaker presented to the Brooklyn militiamen (lie freedom of the city, and declared that their uniforms should be the insignia establishing tho right to exorcise that freedom.

Colonel Brinsmade bespoke tho attention of the Thirteenth to the various industries and public works of tho city. "Your regiment, Colonel Austen," he continued, "has a record second to none for the intelligence andstabilityof its members and for excellence in military tactics and discipline, ami 1 apprehend there can bo no question but that tho members of tho Thirteenth arc all truly good men, for you como from Brooklyn, the City of Churches, and havo a chaplain to administer to your spiritual wants than whom is none more The regiment had breakfast at tho Hollander and afterward woro given full liberty until 5 o'clock, the time set for the big parade and review by Governor Foraker, who will arrivo in Clevelahd this afternoon. Tho city is handsomely decorated. To night thero will bo a reception at the City Armorv, which has been rendered ornate for tho occasion, and later a banquet at the Weddell House. Tomorrow a base ball game and an excursion on the lake will be the features of attraction.

Captain Samuel Greenwood Astonishes Shcepshead Bay by Elopinsr With His Daughter in Law Taken Into Special to the Eagle.l Sheepsiiead Bay, August 20, 1S8D. That venerable and distinguished navigator, Captain Samuel Groenwood, has dreadfully scandalized Shoepshoad Bay by eloping with big daughter in law, Mrs. Samuel Greenwood, a handsome young woman of vivacious manners.

Greenwood, fils, as Boon aB he learned of his wife's absence and of the circumstances under which she disappeared, swore out wan ants against them, charging them with being disorderly persons. The warrants were issued by Justice Waring at Gravesend and strenuous efforts to keep tho affair quiet were put forth, but tho story leaked. Tho captain was caught this afternoon and taken first to Sheepshead Bay and then to the polico station at Coney Island. He seemed to be entirely discomfited. Tho woman has not been arrested.

Captain Greenwood has lived all his life at Sheepshead Bay, and ho has always occupied a high place in thoosteemof the community. He ia about 00 years old. Ho gained famo sevoral years ago by sailing tho yacht Henrietta in her ocoan race, although ho has been long known as a daring and Bkillful pilot. Ho is familiar to thousands as the pilot of tho Rookaway steamer Columbia, and he is one of tho most genial and popular salts that ever sailed the sea. He thought no more of running a blockade during the war than he did of Bmoking a cigar.

Mr. Greenwood is a prominent Mason. For years the captain has lived in a handsome residence on Voorhia avenue, near Ocean avenue, Sheepshead Bay. His wife, a most estimable lady, died there three weeks ago and her remains wore interred in the Methodist Cemotery. She left a largo circle of frionds.

Captain Greenwood's son, Samuel Groenwood, has been married about eight years. Young Greenwood is a well known navigator. He has chargo of the pleasuro yacht of a millionaire who is stopping at tho Oriental Hotel, Manhattan Beach. James MorriB, tho Fulton Market fish dealer, Now York, is married to Captain Greenwood's daughter, Agnes. Tho couplo aro separated, however.

After Captain Greenwood eloped Mrs. Morris came to Sheepshead Bay and took charge of his houso, which had been left vacant. Trior to their departure Captain Greenwood and his daughter were last seen on Saturday. On the afternoon of that day young Mrs. Greenwood was seen to board a Coney l'siand horse car for Brooklyn.

She was carrying a small bundle. People who saw her traveling alone were sur prifud, as her husband has usually accompanied her. About tho samo time Captain Greenwood was seen to board a Manhattan Beach train at Sheepshead Bay, bound for the city. He likewise carried a small bundle. The first news of the occurrence leaked out yesterday when tho folks here saw young Greenwood leavo tho village in company with Chief of Polico John Y.

McKane. The police are now looking for Mrs. Greenwood. Captain Greenwood was bold by Justice Warninu; for an examination next Monday evening at 7 o'clock. MRS.

GORMAN HAD A BAXK ROOK, And Could Not Be Held on a Charjre of Vagrancy. A well dressed and respectable looking woman was found wandering about tho streets at an early hour this morning by Officer Hayes, of tho Tenth Precinct. She was taken to the station house, where she described herself as Mrs. Ella Gorman, a widow, 55 years old, of 4713 Dean street, aud said that she was a much abused woman. She was arraigned before Justico Pot terson this morning on a chargo of vagrancy.

When sho heard tho nature of tho complaint against her sho drew from her pockot a bank book which showed that sho had a comfortable amount on deposit. Tho court expressed the opinion that sho could not be held on the complaint, and dismissed the charge. Mrs. Gorman turned to leave tho court, whon Edwaad McCue, one of hor neighbors, pushed his way forward and asked that tho woman be held, saying that she was Insane. If you want to have her detained," said tho Court, "you will have to go about it in tho proper way." "Iam willing to Bwear out a warrant for her arrest," replied McCue.

"My wife and I are in constant fear of our lives at her hands. I want to protect our children from her. She is a tenant in the same house that I live in. Mrs. Gorman has threatened my wife with a hatchet." Justice Petterson would not entertain tho complaint.

Lawyer Manne, who appeared for Mrs. Gorman, Baid that tho charges of insanity and vagrancy wero absurd. The lady, he added, recently had a boarder who died, leaving her and her sister his heirs. Since theii, ho said, she has boon annoyed by several persona. Mr.

MoCue is not related to Mrs. Gorman. SHE WAS FOXD OF A SHAMROCK. A yonnff Irish irl Whom Judge Van Wyclt Thinks Sane. Bridget Gallaghor, a rather nice looking young Irishwoman, was brought before Justice Van Wyck in tho City Court this morning, from the Kings County Hospital, in order that she might be committed to tho Insane Asylum.

Drs. Burns and Stone certified that Miss Gallagher rambled in her talk and displayed a remarkable fondnOBS for a clover leaf which she concealed in her bosom in a glass of water. Judge Van Wyck questioned the girl at length. She said: "I have suffered from dyspepsia and malaria. A doctor told me that another doctor had given mo an overdose of medicine which affected my brain.

I havo lived with my uncle, Patrick Haaren, at 585 Park avenue, and was sent from his houso to tho hospital. I waB a little noisy there becanso the other patients wero noisy. It saw not a clover loaf I had but a shamrock which I brought with me from Ireland, and ono day to amuse the patients I put it in a glass of water and placed it in my breast. I askod tho hospital authorities to let mo writo to ray relatives, bnt they would not do so." Judge Van Wyck sent the girl back to tho hospital until Tuesday next, when he iutimatcd that he shonld discharge hor if she then displayed as much evidence of sanity as sho did this morning.

Near the top of a rugged JiiU two miles from Baiting Hollow station, on the Long Island Railroad, tho skeleton of a woman supposed to be about 20 years of age was found by Edward Ray nor, of Manorville Station, on Sunday. at tho timo was in quest of whortleberries. The skeleton was near the top of a hill which is situated in a wild and cheerless wilderness. The hill is known as Ij'Hommedieu's Hill and a road near which tho skeleton lay leads to tracts of woodland little traveled. Raynor examined the skeleton and concluded that it had been on tho hill fully two or three years, as tho bones wore bleached.

He also decided that the unfortunate young woman had been foully dealt with and finally murdered. Two holes appeared in tho forehead, each tho sizo of a man's little finger, and about four inches apart. About oach holo woro small fractures. The girl, it is thought, was a foreigner, as tne ahoea Btill on the feet were evidently not made in this country. ThosoleBpf the shoes were found to bo burned, and as tho surrounding woods were devnstod by firo a year ao last May, it is evident that tho body was there previous to the fire, ine hair was entirely gone, tho skull being bare.

Parts of the dress showed it to bo a Scotch ging ham, partly wool. Tho bones of the right hand claBned a Docketbook containing 21 cents, a pair of silk mittens and a trinket. The authorities at liiverhead wero at onco notified, and yesterday JusticaJtfillard. accompanied by Cor oner H. P.

Terry. M. and Dr. Georgo A. Mc Donald, of New York, drove out to tho hill aud mado a further examination, confirming the theory that the girl had been the victim of a foul crime.

Inquiry among tho inhabitants of the surrounding country failed to throw any light upon tho mystery, as no person answering the irirl's description had been missed. A jury will bo drawn on Tuesday to investigato the tragedy, THE FLASK TOLD THE STORf. Perfectly unconscious of tho visit of a reporter an able bodied clerk in one of tho departments of the Navy Yard, about a block and a half from Commodore Ramsey's office in the Lyceum, was playing all sorts of snoring tunes this morning as ho reclined full length on a loather covered lounge in a luxuriously appointod office on the road to tho east gato. Meanwhile his wages amassed themselves in Uncle Sam's ledger. An empty flask told the Btory.

HE DANCED A JIG How McLaughlin Celebrated His Wife's Birthday. The "Old Man" in a Festive Mood Of Course Ben Lewis Was on Hand to Ad mire the Performance. Three fiddlers hammorod away for dear life on their violins from 8 P. M. on last Friday evening until 2 A.

M. the following morning at tho Mills pangh House, near Monticello. N. Y. Notwithstanding their extraordinary exertions and all night toilinga, tho fiddlers woro happy and complained not, indeed thoy were proud of their work and held their heads particularly high on account of it.

The cause of their contentment lay in tho fact that they had seen Boss McLaughlin, of Brooklyn, dance an Irish jig to the tune of "Tim Finnegan'a Wake," as played by them at 1 30 o'clock in tho morning. What cared thoy if the bows almost dropped from their weary fingers and tho perspiration rolled in streams off their burning brows? All their Bufferings wero forgotten as they watched the groat and only "Old Man" shake himself across the waxen floor and toss up hiB heels liko one of the boys. Mr. McLaughlin's Summer vacation is drawing to a close, and tho entertainment given on Friday at the hotel where ho and his family havo been passing tho past few weeks was a sort of grand finalo to a most delightful holiday. It was alBo given in celebration of tho birthday of Mrs.

McLaughlin, which was on tho 10 th. Tho boss has boon enjoying his outing as only a man in vigorous health and prosperous condition can. The Millspaugh House is half a mile from protty Pleasant Lake, in whose rippling waters trout, perch and other gamey members, of the finny family toss and tumble. By tho shores of this lake tho sago of Willoughby Btreet has passed many an hour communing with himself or listening to ho soft purringsof ex Fire Marshal Lewis' voice. Brother Lewis has a plaeo a quarter of a milo from tho Summer retreat of his patron, and so has Johnny Byrne, the clerk of the court.

Thero aro several other Brooklyn Democrats boarding in the neighborhood, and ono and all of them from timo to time worship at the shrine of McLaughlin. On special occasions like that of Friday they all visit the boss together and have a high old time. Mr. McLaughlin has not only had a good time this Summer, but he has made himself quito popular among tho country lads and lasses. On last Thursday afternoon tho Roman Catholic Church in tho neighborhood held a fair.

It bo came noised abroad that Mr. McLaughlin would be there, and tho result was that people camo there from far and near. Tho Boss appeared to be in fine spirits and bought up sandwiches and ice cream by the. wholesale, distributing them among tho children who followed him around. The celebration on Friday night at tho Millspaugh House will tako its plaeo in the history of Monticello as ono of tho largest affairs on record.

Everybody who was anybody was invited. Threo stageloadsof people went from the Mansion Houso in Monticello alone and several wagonloads of enthusiasts camo in from the surrounding boarding houses. Among those present were ex Fire Marshal Bon Lewis and wife, John Burns and wifo, Mr. Baldwin Straus and wifo, Judge Kenna and wife, Counselor Guck, William Hersemann and wifo, Dr. Hurd and wife and Constable Fitz Harris, of the First Ward.

The fun consisted tf music and dancing and an exhibition of fireworks, and Mrs. McLaughlin declared tho latter was finer than any she had ever seen at Manhattan Beach. The event of the evening, however, did not come off until 1 ::10 o'clock, when tho Brooklyn leader pulled himself together, and, bidding the fiddlei strike her up lively, danced a real old fashioned Irish jig. The enthusiasm ovor his performance was unbounded. Marshal Lewis shook his sablo dyed locks so violently that "Cornier Byrne, thinking ho was going off info a fit, embraced him on tho spot.

"Baldy" Strauss laughed till his sides ached and Constable Fitz Harris stopped smoking long enough to ejaculate, "Darn mo if that is not tho finest I ovor saw." Tho boss danced for nearly five minutes by tho watch. At 2 o'clock the party broke up. THE nONRIGANS WANT DAMAGES. Litigation Iietniltinff from an Old Fashioned Free Fht.

DEAD IN A DIVE. An Early Morning Murder in Bleecker Street. JJlack Hawk Porter, Wife Beater and Toiiffb, Killed by a Member of the Four in Hand Musical Quartet Jealousy in a Ncgrro Dance House Tlie Terror of Thompson Street. William Ball, colored, at 1 :30 o'clock this morning drovo a knife to tho hilt into tho heart of Black Hawk Porter, wife beater and tough, in a Bleecker street dive and dance house, in New York. lie was examined at police headquarters this morning before Acting Superintendent Byrnes.

Tho murderer, handcuffed and guarded by two policemen, smoked a cigarette with cool unconcern. Ho is a slim, boyish looking negro. Ball told Inspector Byrnes that ho was manager and basso of the Four in Hand Quartet that has given concerts in Boston, Providence and othor Eastern towns. "I knew Porter for a year or more," he said. "We were always fooling, and I started in when we met in Davis' dance house at 137 Bleecker street last night to have Bomo fun with him.

He didn't seem to liko it, and when I kept badgering him ho pulled a knife on me. Then I pulled mine and kept pushing him away from me with it while I was backing out of tne room. He followed, digging at me, and my knifo caught on to him. I didn't mean to hurt him." This was tho murderer's apologetic way of putting his deed. Ho and the "Black Hawk" had been dancing with a lot of colored women, including Susan Crag and Stella Brown, Thompson street belles.

They hustled tho wounded man into the street, while his friends closed around tho murderer. Thero was a general searching of boot legs for razors and preparations for a grand butchering bee, when the murderer broke away and, chased by "Black Hawk's" followers, fled to the second story of tho house. Hard pressed, ho jumped from a window into tho back yard and was lost in tho gloom. Out in the street the wounded man had started to walk to the nearest doctor shop. But scarce a dozen stepB away he lay down on the flags and said ho was tired.

"Let mo rest awhile," he said. Policeman O'Hara came up, and, leaving him thero, made for the dance hall. He has caught half a dozen murderers and ho caught this one. He found Ball hidden in the collar of 135 Bleecker street, adjoining the dance house and the Gor ham Base Ball Club headquarters. When he returned with him to tho street the wounded man was dead.

Witnesses enough came from tho dance house to fully identify the murderer. Black Hawk, or Sherman Porter, was 27 years old. He used to live at 3 Downey plaeo with his wife and child, but lately moved. He was a terror of Thompson Btreet, a bad tough and a wife beater. Ball, who killed him, when he does not sing in his quartet, earns a living as a touter on the race tracks.

Ball was taken boforo Justice Ford at tho Jefferson Market Police Court'and after telling snb stantially the same story related to Acting Superintendent Byrnes, was held to await the action of tho Coroner. A search of the dead man's body brought to light a number of letters written to him recently by his mother, who resides in Nashville, Tenn. Porter, it seems from the tone of these letters, left there about a year ago, and ho was constantly writing to his old mother for money. She complied with many of his requests and in every letter sho sent him importuned him to keep out of bad company and to leavo things alone that did not belong to him. Other letters from Jim Carter and others, of Nashville, describe tho high winnings of his friends, particularly Poker Jim, and inform him that there aro now twelve games going on there to fivo when ho left Nashville.

John was Mrs. De Groot'B brother. Ou the day of tho lady's death, Mr. St. John and his wife called at the late residence of his sister on," it is alleged in a disgraceful manper.

Tho body was hardly cold when St. John searched every nook and corner in tho house in looking for the dead woman's effects. Finally he found his dead sister's will, and after reading it and showing it to his wife and a domestic named Maggie, he deliberately burned tho document. Mrs. St.

John went further, and, addressing the remains, exclaimed in a dramatio way, "You've played your last card and lost." After Mrs. De Groot'B death it was learned that ABsistant District Attorney Maguiro had drafted the will and that a copy of it was in his possession. That fact was verified yesterdaj'. when Mr. Maguire announced that he would seo that tho deceased lady's last wishes wero carried out.

From the various bequests in tho will there was evidently some reason for Horatio St. John's act, but the latter claims that it was at Mrs. De Grooms wish that the document was destroyed. Hero is a copy of the wiU: In the name of God, amen Sarah M.

Warden Hayes Cannot Use tho Locnst on Prisoners for Purposos of Tnuish mcnt. On Tuesday last a burglar named Smith es caped from'the Kings County Penitentiary, and after half an hour's f'reodom was captured in a cornfield by Warden Hayes and his keepers. In an interview with an Eagle reporter next day tho warden denied that he or his keepers had clubbed Smith after recapturing him, but allegod that thoy had punched him with their fists. Tho warden also said that tho only reason thoy did not club Smith was bocauso they had no clubs. He insisted that clubbing escaped prisoners was justifiable because the law did not provide for the punishment of short term mou who tried to escape, and unless an examplo was made by tho warden of any man who tried to get away, all the short term men would bo at it on every opportunity.

Mr. Hayes said there was precedent for clubbing escaped prisoners. Sinoo tho publication of that interview with tho warden, tho Eaoie has received a numbor of letters criticising Mr. Hayes more or less severely, and asking what right he had to club prisoners for trying to get away. Here aro some of these letters: To llie Editor of the.

Brooklyn Eaale: Sir Can von not ask Warden Hayes what authority he ha to beat prisoners who try to escape from the Penitentiary? In my opinion his action is absolutely lawless. lours truiy, Brooklyn, August is, ijawyer. To the Editor otlm Brooklyn Eaah: Sin Warden Hayes has started out to astonish tho community alike by his frankness and his ignorance. If he is not brought up with a round turn by the Chanties Commissioners he will put Kings County to a great deal of expense. The fact that ho.is a warden of the Penitentiary does not antnonze mm to set ine law aside and substitute his own will.

He has no more right to assault a convict with a club tliuii he would have to go on the streets and assault any ordinary person. Respectfully yours, It. B. M. General Roger A.

Pryor, when appealed to yes terday for an opinion, said: "The convict who was bo assaulted could suo for civil damages and would get them. The warden aud their keepers havo no right whatever to club or boat an escaped prisoner whom they havo recaptured." Judgo Noah II. Davis said: "Tho warden is en titled to use such force as is necessary to recap turo a prisoner, or ho may ubo more forco than is absolutely necessary in tho recapture, but when the prisoner is recaptured tho warden and his mon aro not authorized to ciuo or ueat mm, Thoy exceed their power if they punish him for the attempt and civil suits for damages will bo against tho county. Tho question of in tent enters into this case. If it can bo proved that force is used, not to capture, merely, but also to punish, then tho warden ia liable and through him tho country.

As for there being no punishment provided by law for short torra mon who try to escape, that is a mistake Thoy can bo taken to court and tho judgo may impoao an ad ditional poriod to their original seutonoo. NAVY YARD NOTES. Why the IJanffinir ot the Boats on the Chicago was Chan red. Referring to the changes in tho hanging of tho Chicago's boats, Lieutenant Commander Newman, aide to tho commodore, said this morning: In old guns, like the Parrott rifle, tho chargo of powder was ten pounds to ahnndred pound shot. In the modern inch high powered rifles, such aB is on the Chicago, tho charge is fifty to sixty pounds of powder to a hundred pound shot.

The boats were originally swung over the rifles on either side of the spar dock, trained aft. It was fcaied that tho concussion from tho blasts of the guns would injure the boats and they have been taken inboard. The officers of tho Chicago are a music loving set of men and the detail of Bixteen pieces in tho band is not enough noise for them. Thero are always lay musicians aboard a man of war among 300 men, and a dozen of them will add to their earnings by blowing buglos or tho liko. Tho officers will chip in from their salaries.

The police heard no more about tho matter until yesterday morning, shortly before noon, when Mr. Arthur Halliday entered tho Second Precinct Station House in porson and engaged Sergeant Crowe in conversation. The sergeant did notknow who his visitor was until Captain Eason returned. Mr. Halliday told tho latter confidentially that he was the richest man in Brooklyn, and had some thought of buying up tho bridge and City Hall.

Shortly after tho unfortunate man had entered the station house two of hiB friends appeared thero.

James Kempster, a wealthy printer, of 50 Cedar Btreet, New York, is one of Mr. Halliday's most intimate friends. Mr. Kempstor was not at his place of business whon the reporter called. He is, it was learned, groatly cast down by his friend's condition.

Mr. Halliday has been in the habit or spending several days each season at Mr. Kempster's Summer residence in Long Branch. Lately, it has been noticed that Mr. Halliday entertained many visionary schemes for acquiring vealth.

Very little attention, however, was paid to them until ho developed the notion that he owned the whole of Long Branch and Saratoga. Ho persisted in these proprietary claims and even went bo far as to discuss plans for the improvement of each place.

Enright, who, I sec by tlie Eaolk, has been elected a judgo out in Oklahoma." Mr. Enright lived in the Fourth Ward foil ears and was popular thero. No opposition was manifested and Secretary Solomon Gnnzburger started in to read. He was listened to with interest until he roached, the last paragraph, which, leaving Mr. Enright, was a laudatory notice of ex Assemblyman B.

J. Mulholland. Mr. Mulhol land is not a member of the club and is unpopular with its members. "What's that?" shouted President Beattie.

"Stou reading that resolution." Jones jumped to his feet and said he had boon misled. Ho never intended to indorse Mulhol land.

He gave Miss Kano his picture and Mrs Dowd learned of tho fact.

AUGUST 20. MUNICIPAL. Emely Talk Among Democratic Politicians. She Efg Fellows Aro Away, But the Lesser Lights Discuss Approaching dominations Judge CuIIcn and the Court of Appeals Bench Mr. BInrtha's Betirement Controller Brlnkerhoff and the Aldormanic Excursionists.

About all the Democratic politicians of prominence were absent from tho city to day. Hugh McLaughlin still tarries at I'leasast Lako. James Shevlin is at Lake George. Ex Register Murtha, John Delmar, Alderman McCarty and John Cottior aro at Saratoga to attend the meeting of the State Committee, tho throe last named gentlemen being members of that bods'. District Attorney Bidgway, the ether Kings County member, is in Europe.

Mayor Chapin had not appeared at his ofiiee in the City Hall up to oarly afternoon. A number of the lesser lights of tho party, however, were about tho city buildings and speculated as to the outcome of the meeting of the State Committee and of the approaching Stato Convention. It is understood that ex Register Murtha will resign as chairman of tho Stato Executive Committee. He had charge of the Stato eau Tass last year and worked so hard that after election he was compelled to Beck a completo rest for a month or more. Mr.

Murtha retires from active service in connection with Stato politics for tho reason that his private business interests require all his timo. Ho is largely concerned in the now financial institution, the People's Trust Company, which will shortly open its doors for business. The company has secured temporary quarters at 201 Montacuo street. It is said that upon tho completion of tho Thomas Jefferson building, on Boerum plaeo, permanent offices will be rented there. Beside the Trust Company affairs, Mr.

Murtha is engaged in important business enterprises, which will enable him to make material additions to his already substantial possessions. But it does not follow, by any means, that he will retire from active politics in this city. When tho Mayoralty oampaign Bhall come around the probability is that he will be found taking as prominent a part it as usual. 'Afeaturoof local interest in the day's gossip was the talk of Judge Edgar M. Cullou as a candidate for the Court of Appeals bench.

Judgo Cul len is taking a vacation at the Thousand Islands, but some of his nearest friends declared that he was not now, and had not been, a candidate. Tho general impression is that tho nomination for tho Court of Appeals will go to ex Attorney General Denis O'Brien. Mr. O'Brien is popular with tho Democratic leaders of Kings County. lie has on several occasions addressed Democratic mass meetings in this city and has always boon very well received.

As to tho balance of tho ticket, the talk is Herman Oelrichs or Diedrich Willers for Secretary of Stato and Elliott F. Danforth for Treasurer, with Wcmple and Bogart renominated for Controller and Engineer respectively. Charles F. Tabor will be renominated for Attorney General. Somo of the more ingenious of the gossipB thought that if Judgo Cullen should be nominated for tho Court of Appeals and elected an opening would be made thereby for Thomas E.

Pearsall on the Supreme Bench. Mr. TearBall is ambitious for judici honors, but his time.dooa not seem to have come yet. A successor to Judge Dyk'man, of the Supreme Court, Second District, is to be elected this Fall; but it is thought that he will bo his own successor. Ho lives in 'Westchester County.

Brooklyn now has three Supremo Court judges, namely, Pratt, Cullen and Bartlett, and even if Dykuian should not be renominated the position would, in all probability, go to some other county than Kings. The county representation in Democratic State conventions is uniform throughout the State, being based upon the number of Assembly districts in each county. There are three delegates for each district. Thus, KiugH, having twelve Assembly districts, has thirty six delegates in a State convention. THAT GETTYSBURG EXCURSION.

Controller Brinkerhoff does not, after all, seem to he very enthusiastic in his search for "unexpended balances" to meet the cost of the Alder manic excursion to the field of Gettysburg. He Questions whothor the Aldermen have a right to spend money for such purposes and suggested to Committeeman Elcock to day that the latter should see the Corporation Coun Bol about it. Mr. Brinkerhoff does not liko tho way in which the Aldermen went about this appropriation business. He thinks that before rushing through a resolution ordering him to transfer $2,500 from "any unexpended balances" they should have inquired whether or not thero was any such balances.

This is not the lirst timo this thing has been done, and thu Controller thinks that he ought to bo shown a little courtesy in such matters, to say nothing of the legal considerations involved. The impression has gone forth that Alderman Mclu the chairman of the Special Committee, is endeavoring to give the Tenth Regiment, of which he was a member, the benefit of the Gettysburg demonstration. Alderman Elcock, a Fourteenth Regiment veteran, has tried to thwart him, and, according to his statement made today, ho succeeded at the executive session of the committee yesterday afternoon in having adopted a motion declaring that tho day to be celebiated should be a distinctively Brooklyn day and that tho money should not bo used for the purposes of any outside regiment, lie said he also had the committee adopt a motion for the preparation of a programme to include an address by some prominent Brooklynitel This is all very fine, but with a lukewarm Controller in the hunt for expenses, and the great dissatisfaction among veterans because of Aldormanic excltisivene and tho determination of the Mayor not to attend, it does not look as if thero will be a municipal demonstration at Gettysburg. tub paths.

"A JStucIent Accidentally Shot by IHis Friend. SotniOo, N. August 20. Alfred Porter, aged about 19, of Dover, a student at Dartmouth College, was shot last night and instantly killed on Kenniston's Island, near this place. Porter had been camping on the island a few days with two young friends, Herbert E.

Towlo and Herbert H. Redfield. both of Dover. Last evening Towlo was cleaning revolver which he supposed was not loaded, when it was discharged, and the ball passed through the tent and entered Parker's body just below the lirst rib. It then took an upward course and probably entered tho heart.

Tho Missouri Synod of tho German Lutheran Church discussing How far and under what conditions do we allow women to teach," has decided not to allow women to teach in church at all. The synod also declares that a congregation may discharge their pastor or parochial school teacher only if they are impious or neglect their duty.
