The Improvements Upon the Henney Estate Held to be Taxable Judge Barnard's Opinion in the Case Tho Family Troubles of the Reagans The Child Given to tho Mother Legal Fledgliags Admitted to the Bar.

Among the General. Term decisions handed down this week was one in a case which Is of considerable importance to tha city, in that it Involved the question as to whethor tho improvements upon tbe leaseholds of the Hoaney estate ore liable to taxation. For over thirty yearB tbe property has been exempt from taxation, but In 1881 the Board of Assessors took a new departure In this matter, and placed the houses erected upon the leased lots upon the assessment roll. Tho holders of the leases Bued out a writ of certiorari to review the proceedings of the Board of Assessors, and tho matter was argnod beforo Judge Cullen in tha Supreme Court. His honor sustained the action of the Board of Assessors, who had based rholr decision aa to the taxable oharactor of tho property upon a report of the Law Committee of the Common Council, and upon an opinion furnished by Corporation Counsol DeWltt.

The matter was taken to tho' General Term, and argued at Pougbkoepsle in May last, Hod. Thomas H. Rodman appearing for the leaseholders, and Corporation Counsel Taylor for the Board of Assessors. Ths General Term sustaiuB the action of tho Board of Assessors, Judjje Barnard writing tho opinion. Tha validity of the tax in question depends upon the true construction of ths aot of the Legislature, passed May 13, 1810.

In 1S4B Cornelius Hesney and others organized the Brooklyn Benevolent Society aud the Legislature duly incorporated the society and granted certain powers by tho act of 1816. Section 1 of that aot says Tho real and nersonal estate which the trustees and asBoclatoa of the Brooklyn Benevolent Soolety shall hold by their act of incorporation shall be and remain free and exempt from all taxation whatever so long as tbe revenues thereof shall bo disposed of according to tho airecvion oi saia bucu exemption snail not extend to assessments laid upon said real estate for purposes of local improvement. By the seoond Bection of tho original charter, tho cor poration was authorized to tako and hold by deed of gift from Cornelius Heaney, thereby declared to be the present owner thereof, the parcels of land In tho City of Brooklyn lying between Hicks, Columbia, Congress and Amity streets, and to take and hold any further real or personal estate that Mr. Heaney might convey to tho society by glftlor by will. In 1818 tho soolety became tho owner in fee of the property In question.

Tbe property, divided into lots was leased for a term of yoars, the lessees covenanting to erect houses thereon of a oertaln character, aud further covenanting to pay all taxes that might fall dUj or be lev led thereon, Tbe buildings or bouses were erected and have for 30 years been exempt from taxation save for local improvement. In 1881, the Board of AsseBBorB put the buildings upon tbo genoral tax roll. In the opinion of the board theso buildings constitute a valuable property not inoluded in the act of 1846, and, should therefore bear a share of the burden of taxatione The lessees who appealed from the decision of the board own buildings or houseB'upou the lots leased from tho society and which form parts of tbo Heaney estate. Thoy are Otto C. Muller, Elsctus B.

Litchfield, Anthony B. Oatrom, Daniel A. Dodge, Charles M. Vail. The following Is Judge Barnard's opinion affirming ths action ol the Board of Assessors Sopreme Court The People ex rel.

Sfullin against the Board of Brooklyn Barkabd, P. J. By chapter 159 of Laws of 1815, tbo real and personal estate of tha Brooklyn Benevolent Society, held under the aet incorporating the society, was declared to be exempt from taxation except for local Improvements. The soclctv leased certain lotB of its land to tho relator upon leases for twonty ouo years. Tho relator was bound to build buildings.

At the end of the tluio tbe eooioty could olthor pay the valuo of the building bo erected or grant a new.lease of twenty one years, and so on. The relator could retain tho buildings until they wore paid for or have renewals of leases perpetually in tenus of twenty ouo years. For tho purposes of assessment land inoludes structures upon laud as separable from tho ownership of tho fee. The right to eroct structures and to keep possession of them makcB the structures land and taxable as such, whomsoevor owns the fee. (People vb.

The KcaRH Family Troubles. The hearing in the habeas corpus sued out by Mrs. Mary Ann Reagan to recover the possession of her ohild from her husband, Thomas Roagan. The Infant Is a boy, and Ib 18 months old. The husband Is about 25 years old and the wife a year or two younger.

They reside in tho Sixth Ward. The husband, Thomas Reagan, carries on some business about the Custom House, but is not connected with that Institution. He is also a professional musician on the variety stage, and is known as a "musical make," his specialty being claying upon a variety of lnetrumentB. It appears that the couple have lived unhappily together for some time, and about six weeks ago Mrs. Reagan left blm, taking ber Infant with her.

8he found shelter in the house of a sister. A few weeks after the husband managed to get possession of the child. The wife then sued out tbe writ of habeas corpus to re oovor the custody of the infant, and the case came on In tbe City Court, Special Term, before Judge Neilsoc. At the outset tbe custody of tho child was awarded to the mother pending the decision of the court. In hie return to the writ of habeas corpus, tho husband set up that hlB wife was a person of improper character, that sho was a habltnal drunkard and that she had beeu unduly Intimate with John Golden, a well known politiolau of ths Sixth Ward.

This return waa traversed by Mrs. Reagan, who denied tho allegations of her husband, and the case came on for trial last week to deolde the question aa to Mrs. Reagan's character. Tho husband, having the affirmative, was tirst hoard, and the evidence then given waB reported in tbe EAor.E.;An adjournment wob taken until yesterday afternoon, when the defense was conoluded. James Tigho appeared for Mrs.

Reagan and Michael Gru for the husband. Tho first witness examined was Mrs. Margaret Jones. She testified that she resided in the same house. No.

71 President street, with the Reagans, and was present and attended Mrs. Reagan through her confinement. One of the allegations of the husband was that during this period hla wife was intoxicated. Mrs. Jones denied tbis flatly.

She testified that she had never seen Mrs. Reagan under the Influence of liquor. During the time she was In the same bouse she saw that Reagan treated hla wife cruelly aud failed to provide for her in a proper manner. Mrs. Maria Comfort, tbe stepsister of Mrs.

Reagan, was next called. She testified that at one time she lived in the earne house with the Reagans in Union street. This witness corroborated Mrs. Jonea' testimony with reference to Mrs. Reagan's sobriety.

The wituess also swore that Reagan treated his young wife firuelly and did not properly provide for her that at Imes she did not have proper food or clothing. Witness also said that for the past fire weeks Mrs. Reagan bad resided with them; that tbey bad boarded her for nothing, and that her huBband had not provided for her In any way. Mrs. Reagan was ont of employment and had no mosps ot cupport, "Mrs.

tfolhorineolfej. Iwofe that she had resided in the some houre lu Hamilton avenue with the Reagans; she had visited her and always found Mrs. Reagan a person who condnotod hereelf properly and kept her bouse neat and tidy had never seen her intoxicated, but bad seen Reagan some homo ornnh. Mrs. Elizabeth Kenny, Mr.

Mary Keeler and Mrs, Mary Ann Smith were railed and corroborated the foregoing testimony. They always found Mrs. Reagan a poison of proper character aud deportment. One of the husband's allegations was that upon a certain occasion his wife sent a message a child named Maggie Condon to John Golden. Tho little girl was produced as a witness and testified that tho message Is question was not to Golden, but was to the step sister, Maria Comfort.

Mr. TIghe was about to oall some other witnesses as to character, but Judge Noilson eald he did not think it necessary. He would like to hear what Golden had to soy, if he was to be called. Mr. Golden was then put npon the witness stand.

He swore that he bad never been guilty of criminal Intimacy with Mrs. Reagan and that he was sent for by the step sieter to get counsel in the matter. Counsel for Reagan wanted to put in evidence as to his character but Judge Nellion said it was not In question in this proceeding. The rule usually was that the fatber Bhonld have the oustody of the children but In this case It was modified by the lnfanoy of the child which made the mother's care necessary. As to the allegations against Mrs.

Reagan's character, they were not sustained by ths evidence. He should, therefore, allow tbe writ, and award the custody of tbe child to tbe mother. Mrs. Reagan tben left the Court House with her friends, who congratulated her upon the vindication of her character from the aspersions east upon it by ber husband. Judge Nellson said that the decision awarding tbe custody of the ohild to the mother waa aot a reflection upon tho husband.

AN ABADOBD BABR. At an early honr this morning Officer Dele hanty, ot tbe Fourth Precinct, found a basket on the stoop of the house at No. (3 North Elliott place. Ths basket contained a female infant, about six weeks old, well clothed and provided with a cursing bottle. Pinned to the dress of tho little ons was a note, written in a neat female hand, as follows: Callahan, this litt ono is lelt In your charge.

It la the child of respectable parents, though unfortunate. Treat it as you would your awn and you will receive your reward." Mrs. Callahan Uvea at No. 60 North Elliott place, two doora lrom the Btoop of tho bouse on which tueeniiawas louau. xuu uaua wae uauuuu vim the care of the city nurae.

The opponentB ot the resolutions rallied and several of them spoke against it, Mr. Anthony Barrott made a vigorous speech In favor of the resolution, and midnight was reached be fore a vote was taken. In the meantime seven eighths of the delegates had left the hall, and all of those who vrsre there to assist in preventing condemnation or Westbrook and the Wall street candidate for the Dem ocratic nomination and commendation of Cornell's course as Governor remained. To these wero added a few who were tired and anxious to adjourn, so that when the rota waa taken ths resolutions were beaten, not upon a count, but upon the declaration of the chairman, These people, however, failed to get oontrol of the State Committee, although' they had previously obtained control of the committees on Organization and Resolutions.

This was made manifest the next morn lng when tho State Committee met. It was then found that it was a representative body, and free from the corporation influences that had been exerted in tho closing hours of the convention. Bad the resolutions boon presented at an earlier hour, and had there beon a competent man in the chair like General Henry B. Tr malno, the resolutions would have been adopted for the sentiments therein expressed wero the sentiments of the vast majority of the delegates. With the exception of the matter above referred to, the convention did good work and tbo Anti Monopoly party la put into a posi tion to take the field with a full State tloket iu case the Gonld interests control both conventions, or indorse tho nominee of that oonventlon which throws aside tbo shackles Jay Gould would put upon it, Seacoxc.

FIRE'S WORK Three Men Burned to Death This Oil Tanks Exploded by the Lightning's Flash of Oil Worfes on Newtoirn Creek Foreman Keegan, of Hook and Ladder Fo. 4, Captain Deary and an Unknown Mas Consumed by tho Flames The Losses. There ore three oil refineries within a shor' distance of each other on the Kings County Bide of Newtown Creek, north of the Calvary Cemetery or Penny Bridge, The first Is the Greenpolnt Oil Works, owned by WilBon Andoraon; adjoining is the Locust Grove Oil Works, owned by James Donald but Bald to be controlled by the Standard Oil Company and less than a quarter of a mile north is Bono Fleming's establishment, also said to be a branoh of the Standard Company. In each of the refineries are numerous lorge tanks above ground and undornoath. At about half past 9 o'clock last night a bolt of lightning struck a tank in the center of the yard of Donald premises, and at tho same time a tank in Sons Fleming's works was ignited by a flash of lightning.

Immodiatsly lurid flames followed by dense masses of blaok smoke issued from the tanks and ascended to the hoavens. The watoh mon and tho workmen on the prsmlsoa sent out alarms. The first alarm was from Zone Fleming's place, and Engines 13, 15 and 13 and Hook and Ladder No. 6 responded and operated as well as they could under the dlrootlon of DlBtrlot Engineer Perry, There are no otty pumps In that neighborhood, so the difficulty uuder which the firemen labored in trying to get water from private pumps on the premises is apparent. The tank in Bono Fleming's contained about 30,000 barrels of crude petroleum.

Tho tank was suppUod with a safety cover, which gave vent to the flames, and the firemen, with the aid of the workmen employed on the premises, extinguished the Are lnalde half an hour. DONALD COMPANY'S WORKS. Following the alarm from Sons It Fleming's works came one from Station No. 3. denoting that Donald works were on fire.

Assistant Chief Smith immediately hurried to the sceno of the conflagration, and Engines 11, 15 and 18 and Hook and Laddor No, i responded to an alarm. No. 12 engine was brought tram Bona ts Flemings. As thero was no oity wator, already montlonod, work was done with the tender of No. 12 on tho pumps In Wilson Anderson's establishment.

Zone Fleming's tugboat Brilliant, and later on Pratt Company's tug Stone, steamed up near the dook and lent valuable asslstanco In fighting tbo flames. Tho tank contained abcut 25,000 barrels of oil, and when the lightning struck it, the roof, which was not supplied with safety doors, waa ruptured. The flames burst forth fiercely and the efforts of tho flremon were directed toward saving the; twelve or more tanks on tho premises from catching fire. As the engines were comparatively useless, all of them but the tender of No. 13 and Hook and Ladder No.

6 were sent home. They managed to' pour seven streams of water in all on the tankB to keep them cool. A tank containing gasoline adjoined the ono on fire. As soon as possible two oanal boats and two lighters were pro cured from other establishments, and whon they had been fastened to tho dock the work of drawiugoff the oil and filling them with It began. Tbo object was as much to prevent It eaoaping otherwise and running into the creek as to sava It.

The seven streams of water played steadily over the tank while the oil was being pumped into the boats. The two canal boats had beeu loaded and tho lighters were being filled at about half paBt five o'olock this morning. The tugs Stone and Brilliant were fastened to the canal boats and their pipes passed over thorn. The six vessels were altogether in a bunoh. The men of Engine No.

12 and Hook and Ladder No. 1 were around the premises hard at work. There wore about twenty four of them In all. In addition there were about ten men rendering what aid they could under the dlrootlon of Superintendent John Cooper. Near the tank at the hour named wore Foreman Charles Keegan, of Hook and Ladder No.

who was talking to Assistant Chief Smith. Within a few feet ot them were flremon Rhodes, McKenna, McCarthy, O'Brien and Short, of No. 6. Near the burning tank was a workman whose name has not yet been ascertained. Tho other firemen and workmen were a llttlo further removed from the tank.

Oaptoin Deary, who had charge of one of the tug boats belonging to Donald Son told the firemen that the oil was warm and ordered tho further running of it to be stopped. It was also said that his young son was on the boat. They had entered the yard proper. Chief Smith had parted with Keegan, who had been standing near the cooper shop wall and convenient to the tank. There were only four feet of oil In the tank, or ahout 1,000 barrels.

Suddenly Chief Smith heard a fry, as he describes THE NOISK OF BUBNING OIL. He was only a few feet away from Keegan, He Immediately saw a flash and without looking behind he ran as fast as his feet aould carry him out of the premises and up an incline. The deadly mass of flame was close at his heels. Inside two minutes explosion followed explosion in rapid succession, reminding the man of the disoharge of several pieces of artillery. When he got to a place of safety aud looked beneath him he saw nothing of Donald Company's premises and Wilson Anderson's, adjoining.

A mass of dark flame and impenetrable smoke hovered over the spot. He ap proaohod the buildings on the road as near as ho dare. Firemen and workmen came straggling along after a time, but many wero reported missing, and it was feared that a number of the brave fellows bad met their death. When the men had all come together it was found that one oi the firemen, the bravest of the brave, Foreman Keegan, ot Hook and Ladder No. 4, was missing.

His fate was not for a moment In doubt. The body of Captain Deary was found stuck in the mud soma time before, and MoKenna, of ths hook snd ladder, said he saw workmen near the tank surrounded by the burning olL This made three dead sure. A fourth was BnppoBod to havo meet his death a lad in Captain Deary'a boat. The soene when the oil escaped and surrounded the brave lellows was described by several firemen beside Chtet Smith. As there was no explosion tho tank must have sprung a leak or some of the connections have given way, and out poured the burning maas and flooded the premise, advancing swiftly to the dock where the boats were.

It was a grand scramble ameng firemen and workmen for dear life. Chief Smith ran up hill, and in that way escaped. Firemeu Rhodes and O'Brien, who were only a few feet away from Keegan, ran through the cooper ebop and got out on the dock. They scrambled along the string pieoo and got on the Brilliant, followed by Short and others, who got out another way. Superintendent Cooper climbed on the string piece, but fob.

off and broke his arm and got burned about the face and body. Captain Dean made for the water also, and plunged into ths creek ana got stuck in the mud and was burned to death in a few minutes. Ths workman near the tank got caught in an instant, AND WAS CONSUMED, it Is supposed, in a few minutes. Poor Keegan, it la supposed, waited to see what waa the matter and was Burrounded by the fiery mass and so met his doom. The oil followed tho footsteps of the retreating firemen to the dook, snd inside a couple of minutes the canal boats were ablaze.

Tho ropes fastening the tugboats to the canal beats and the hose were cut just in time to save the steamers, for the two canal boata and the lighters were ablaze Inside of eight minutes. When Fireman MoOathay, of Engine No. 13, saw the man In the mud he thought it was Chief Smith, and beat hla way through flame and smoke to him. He discovered that it was Captain Deary and that he was deal A fops was tied arommj the tody later, and it was hauled obi Of the mud. All the men tell thrilling stories of the hairbreadth escapes.

The soone ou the oreek all the morning was a gloomy ons. It seemed to be all ablazs for a quarter of a mile. The smoke whlob hovered over it was dense and blinding. The Penny Bridge was opened by orders of Chiof Smith, but the approaches to it were burned bo that travel over it must be stopped for some time to come. The wildest rumors were afloat all the forenoon that 8everal workmen were missing.

It is hoped that the rumors will not prove trae, but the wont is learod. The greatest sympathy is expressed for Keegan, who leaves a wife and four small children. He was a brave fellow, and resided in the Eastern District nearly all his life. It was said that a child of his died this morning. Captain Deany, who had resided at No, 169 Green point avenue, Greenpolnt, leaves a wife and four children.

He had worked for Donald Co. for year. Coroner Parker arrived at the soene of the catastrophe at 9 o'clock. After looking at the body of Deany, he gave an order for its removal. The fields in the neighborhood have been crowded all the forenoon.

Upward ot 3,000 persons of all ages aud both sexes were present, The losses as far aa aould be ascertained are as fol ows Greenpolnt oil work estimate the value of stoek whioh they had ou baud to be worth 60,000 insursd $15,000. Donaldson Co. loose $59,000 partially covered by insurance. XTTBSXY'FOTJBTa WA8I) BBPDBLICASS.

Twenty five names were favorably reported upon. Mr, E. A. Doty said that the Democrats of the ward desired to rent the wigwam for their meetings. He moved that the Exocn tivo Commltteo be authorized to rent it, and to turn the proceeds over to the treasurer.

This caused a very exciting dlsonsslon, some of the. members being opposed to this action, (earing that it would injure tha interests of the Republican party in the ward, A majority, however, favored the motion, and It was adopted. The meeting then adjourned. Hour be It Schoonovor's be VueA It on John H. Sing Lee is a Chinaman of about 80 years and of (tout build.

Demeeratle Activity Edward Eowo's Bes iffnation Withdrawn Joseph flew Charities Commissioner. Among the decisions recently handed down by the General Term of the Supreme Court were four in favor of the city, the eases being of more or less im portanesk The appeals were argued at General Term by Corporation Counsel Taylor for tha city. One of these oases was the aotion of the People ex reU Muller against the Board of Asses sors, involving the assessment of the improvements on what is known as the Heaney estate. Last year the Board of Assessors for the first time assessed tbeBe Improvements. The owners contested on tho ground that the property was exempt by law, but tho Special Term decided against them.

An appeal to the General Term resulted in the affirmation of the Judgment below. It ia probable that ths case will be takon to the Court of Appeals. Another aotion was that of Thomas Karnes against the city. The law in regard to clerks of the courts of polioe justices and justices of tho peace, provides that those offloers in tho City of Brooklyn shall each nominate, and with tho consent of the Common Counsel, appoint one clerk for eaoh of said courts, who shall hold bis offlco during the pleasure of the Justice so appointing him. The plaintiff waa appointed a clerk by Justtos Ober nier.

In 1878 Justice Gnck sucoeeded Obernler. Ou tho 7th day of June, 1870, Eames was removed aud P. Ennis was appointed to take his place, and aoted as alerk. On Deoember 18, 1876, his nomination waa for warded to the Common Council and confirmed. The resolution approving the nomination was vetoed.

Ennis was never paid any salary, and a mandamus proceeding was brought by him againBt Mayor Schroeder to compel tha latter to sign his salary warrant. This proceeding wis carried to tho Court of Appeals, and it waa doolded that Ennis was legally appointed. The plaintiff claims that there being xto legally appointed successor to the position he ocoupled, he was the dn jure clerk and held over until a legal appointment of a successor aB Ennl was an intruder In the office and had received no salary, his services inured to the benefit ot tha plaintiff. The defendant maintained that tho plaintiff having been removed by the justice his term of office ceased. On this state of faots judgment for the defendant was given at Special Torm, by Judge Gilbert, and this has beeu af firmed at General Term, Judge Cullen writing the opinion to the sffeot that aa tho law says that the clerk Bholl hold his offlee during the pleasure of the Justice appointing him to that he should hold offlee until his successor duly qualifies would mako his removal depend not upon the pleasure of the justioe but upon that of the Justioe and the Common Counoll.

In the caso of the People ex rel. the Brooklyn City Railroad Company against ths Aeeossors, the city and the Board of Supervisors thors was an appeal from an order of the Special Term affirming the determination of the defendants aud dismissing a writ of certiorari for the review of the proceedings relating to the taxation of tha personal property of the company. A law of 1880 provided for the payment into tho treasury of the State for State purposes by certain corporations the tax on their personal property mentioned In the aot. By tbe eighth setstion of the aot the said corporations are declared to be exempt from taxation on their personal property and oopltal stock, except as to the tax so provided to be paid by them into the treasury of the State the construction put upon said section by the defendants being, however, that said corporations are exempt from taxation for State purposes and not for city and county purposoB. The assessors omitted to include in tho assessment roll tor tho year 1881 the personal property of the relator for the purpose of having it taxed for city and county purposes.

Accordingly, they entered, under seotipn 1 of chapter 153 of laws of 1865, said property on the assessment roll of the year 1681, at the valuation of the year 1879, in a separate line from tho valuation ot the year 1881, to tho end that a tax might be loviod on the same for the year 1880 by tho Board of Supervisors of the County of EingB, under the provisions of tbe Bgcond aaotlon of tho said last recited aot. The relator olaimed that suoh aotion on the part of the assessors was illegal for theee reasons Beoause their personal property was not liable to ths tax of 1880 for olty and oounly purpoBes. Because even if It waa liable to be taxod tho assessors had not right to enter it on tbe roll for tho year 1881 for tho reason that when the Board oi Supervisors came to tax it they could not levy the tax at the rate per oent, of the tax imposed upon land or property In the ward on tho preceding year, as provided In section a of the act of 1865 above referred to. A Blmlljrr proceeding was brought by the Union Ferry Company, the decision of the General Term being in favor of the defendants. AN ARREABB PAYMENT.

Richard Dudgeon paid under the 60 per cent, assessed valuation sootlon of the arrears law, tbe eum of $3,456 in settlement of tho city's claims on lots owned by him in tho Twonty socond Ward. The lato Arrears Commissioner decided that he should pay 4,508, and Mr. Dudgeon contested the matter in tho courts on the grounds that the commissioner charged him too largo an amount of interest whon he paid on the installment plan. Tho decision was against him aud he set tied up to day. DEMOCRATIC ACTIVITr.

HENDBIX. The president called the meeting to order, and refer ring to the difficulties of securing a suitable meeting place in tbo Tenth Ward, said that the association had grown so largo, being now 1,200 strong, that there was not a hall large enough to accommodate the membership.

Beferring the Question of Nominations to the State Committee.

Hott a Body of Corporation Agents Got Upon the Floor as Delegates and Be fended Judge Westbrook and Jay Gould and Tried to Condemn Governor CornellA Late Session Which was Lively and Boisterous. Special Correspondence of the Eagle. Babaiooa, September IB. The Anti Monopoly Convention not having been ran In the Interest of anybody sava the whole people, the papers representing speoial corporate interests revonge themselves with making fun over It, The great trouble is that the situation has been but little changed and the organized outaldo elements tlU remain an uncertain quantity in the political problem and wlU remain euoh until after the conventions of the two older parties have been held. This is the real effect of tbo meeting of the conventions of Antl Monopoly and Labor.

Henoe the anger of the corporatlonlsts who had hoped that the situation would ba laid ont clearly. If neither tho RoDUbliean nor tho Demooratio conven tion throw off the shackles of Jay Gould and nominate Folgor and Flower reapeotively, then it Ib qnite certain that an Antl Monopoly ticket will be presented a ticket whioh will bo named after consultation with the Labor people. That convention, however, which rises superior to Jay Gould and Wall street with its horde of sharpers and thimble riggers will unquestionably have the indorsement of Antl Monopolists end Labor, That is THE SITUATION, and the sooner the two older parties realize it the better it will be for them. The Antl Monopoly Convention which has Jnt adjourned was not, despite the efforts of the eorporation iBtB to make it appear so, bent upon nominating A. B.

Cornell. Upon tho contrary there was a well sustained belief that the best interests would bo subserved by postponing all action npgn candidates until tho other parties had acted. ThlB was tho belief and intention of tho leaders, and tho programme was carried ont to tho latter. It is true, that there was an element in favor of nominating Cornell, nolens nolens, but it was so email an element as to have no appreciable influence upon tho rest, and was a languid sentlmont at beBt. The chief end of the session of the convention waa to mako a true affirmation of Anti Monopoly principles.

This was done. Toward the oIobo of the night's session a demonstration was made whioh clearly ehowod that a number of the agente of Joy Gould ond William H. Vanderbllt had orept Into the convention as delegates, with a purpose which favorable oiroumstanceB enabled them in part to acoomplisb. On the morning beforo the meeting of the convention, at the caucus of THE KINGS COUNTY DELEGATES, Mr. Laoy, of BrooklyD, offered two resolutions, whiah he desired should be approved by tho delegation and in the name of Kings County presented to the convention.

These aro the resolutions Ths one was: Whereat, It is a self evident foot that the means whioh have so successfully corrupted the Bopubllcan party, tho lavish use of money by the monopolists aro being used to prostitute the Demooratio party to their base and selfish purposes; therefore be it Rssotoed, That wo hereby mot emphatically condemn the methodB made lately throughout this State to purchase tho influence and support of newspapers and politicians, and we horeby worn tho parties who are expending theBe vast sums of monoy that if their Wall street candidate seoureB tho Demooratio nomination through tbeao venal methods, he ond tho party whioh nominated him will merit the condemnation of ths Antl Monopoly party. And tho other IKftereos, Tho Chief Executive of this Stats is the object of a bitter and relentless crusade at the InBtlea tion of the notoriously corrupt monopolists therefore bolt Resolved, That if the Republican Convention should refuse to strike down Alonzo B. Cornell for manfully doing his duty, and should renominate him for another term of his present high office, it is hereby declared tho Bouse of this convention that the support of A. B. Cornell would bo In harmony with Anti Monopoly principle lu so far aa thoy can bo advanced by the Republican party, THESE RESOLUTIONS were proBentod and, uuder tho rule, were referred to tho Committee on Resolutions without debate.

In thiB rommittoo tho first OYidonco of tho presenca of tho agents ot dould ond Vanderbllt was given. Tho resolution offering commendation to Cornell was wilfully distorted in its moaning and mado to appear that It committed tho convention to his support. The friendship of Gould and Vanderbllt to Flower was also mado apparent in tho session of tho committee, and by a bare majority both resolutions wore rejeoted. Knowing that tho committee did not represent the sentiment of a majority of tho delegates, tho Kings County people Immediately determined to present them to the con voution. At the evening eesBlon the flrat demonstration of the corporatlonlsts was made In ths con ran tion.

When the platform had been read and the question was upon its adoption, a Judge Blake, of New York, who by some means had been snbstltuted for a delegate, made a motion to strike out so muoh of tho preamble of the platform as was CONDEMNATORY. OF JUDGE WESTBROOK and of the corrupt Legislature which whitewashed him. To this charge the same men who subsequently opposed the resolutions above quoted rallied. And the Anti Monopoly Convention was treated to the spectacle of a defense of Judge Westbrook by soma of its delegates. A long wrangle ensued ovor this whioh was not only permitted but apparently encouraged by P.

H. Cowan, the permanent chairman, who was eithor entirely incompetent to preside over a convention or was Beoretly in favor of the men who wero present for tho purpose of making trouble. However, the vaBt majority of the delegates were in favor of the platform and finally it was adopted amid enthusiastic cheers. After this, through the Inoompetenco of tho ohairman, a long wrangle was permitted over the question as to how the matter of the nominations should bo met. There was division of opinion.

Ono proposition was to reconvene on ths 26th instant, ths other to refer tho whole matter to the State Committee. It was growing late. The last train left at twenty minutes after eleven, and delegates were leaving the ball. Nearly two hours had been wasted over this matter, whon Mr. Kineella, who, up to this time, bad taken no part In the proceedings, took the floor, the dolegatoa rlBlng and ohoerlng him, and after courtiously reminding the chairman of his undue lenlonoy, pointed to the faot that THE CONVENTION WAB DWINDLING AWAY, and closed the debate by moving the previous question on tho two propositions.

The result was that it was agreod by a vast majority to refer the matter of nominations to the Stats Committee. It was now eleven o'clock, and at that hour" Mr. White, of took the floor aud prosented the resolutions referred to above, and after reading them yielded to ex Senator Wilbur, who represented them in a vigorous speeoh. But it was a speech made under difficulties, for the very element in the oonventlon which bad rushed te the defense of Judge WeBtbrook continually Interrupted him with ories and calls in an endeavor to defeat those resolutions. However, ho manfully persisted in his speeoh, and when concluded Mr.

Creamor and Mr. Abbott took the floor against them. The latter eoon turned hts speech into one ot condemnation of Cornell and defense of Jay Gould. Under, the gallery, near the door, sat an agent of the New Yoi'k Central road, heartily enjoying the result of his efforts in putting OOBPOBATION AGENTS ON THB FLOOB as delegates. Mr.

Thurbor earnestly declared that there could be nothing more Important than these res. olutiono. Mr. Kineella came to the support of what was evidently a forlorn hope, and easily seonred a hearing while he made tbo moat Impassioned appeal hoard during the convention. He commenced by reminding his hearers that the resolutions under dlsoneslon had been Introduced at the morning session, and they had already been telegraphed to the press all over the State.

The convention must meet them and dispose of them ono way or the other it aould not dodge them. What did the resolutions say That relating to the Governor of tho State was to the effect that he was antagonized by the typloal corporate corruptlonists of this state for doing hla duty Dot for doing wrong, bat for doing what every honeBt man in the State believed to be right On the antl monopoly issue, tho resolutions declared that if Mr. Cornell were renominated by his party, so fax as tie Republicans were concerned who were honest In the cause of Antl Monopoly, they would have nothing to complain of at tho hands of their party. Was this more than should be said In an Antl Monoply Convention 1 Applause. I olatm to be, sold Mr.

Kineella, a Demoorat of the Democrats. I have stood by my party In the droarieBt and gloomiest days it has ever known. I believe In its principles. I am euro if my party will stand by them there will be little use for an Antl Monopoly party in this State. But as a Demoorat, and as a citizen, conceive it to be my duty to stand, with whatever strength and weight of oharaoter I may have, between the Governor of the Commonwealth is which I live and men like Jay Gould and his associates, Applause.

Against this class of foes the Governor Is entitled to any support all manly men who are proud of our great State, and who enjoy theproteclion Its government affords them, Insure him. As a citizen, he shall hear nothing but kindly speech from me. Aa a citizen, I have a right to say that the Governor's party will do only Kb duty by standing manfully by him, and I do say it here, and I will soy it on every occasion on which It Is seemly to do so. Applause. We are all Democrats or oil Republicans, but we ore all citizens, and In support of this resolution I am doing my duty as a citizen Loud applause.

There is another resolution and that refers to the situation on ths Democratic side. It Is known by all men who take any interest in our political concerns, that extraordinary efforts arc being made in advance of the Demooratio Convention to provide a candidate for that party to forestall, as far as is poealbla the judgment of its voters. Newspapers all over the State are being subsidized political managers have held continuous seaslon in this political center for months together everywhere there are evidences of a lavish expenditure of money to advance what are called the claims of one candidate. If these methods prevail what chanoo has any Democrat who earns his living by the labor of his hand or brain for the honors of his party Appluuso.J In tbis condition of affairs the honors of political life are to be won in Wall street, and no where else. I am an Anti Monopolist because I am a Democrat in the sense in which I understand Democracy I am a Democrat because I am against the nnjest encroachments of oorporato power.

The cause wo stand for here Is larger than many ot my associates believe. It is not merely the causa of juBtieo for tbose who do bnBineas with railroads, and who may be enriched by their favor or ruined by their enmity. The cause is the old one equal rights for all. It is a cause dear to all who balleva in our form of government. To maintain It, it is not too much to ask any man living In this land to sacriflos the onanee he' ma; have to acoumulate a fortune of a hundred millions, or of ten millions or of one mllliOD.

If the choice were given me to divide miUions be tween thoss who are to cams after me millions whioh may be easily dlsBlpated, and which do not insure cither manhood or happiness or to bequeath to them equal rights a fair field and no favor as their permanent possession, euro I to tbora and their descendants forever, I would eland for eqnsl rights and against their foes in supporting these resolutions, Prolonged applause. Mr. Kineella proposed to move the previous question, and had ho persisted In doing so while the body was In the emper it wis, when ha oleied, probably ha would wound, was perfectly conscious. He refused to give any explanation aa to the cauee which Inspired him to make tho attempt on hla life and Captain Mackellar has been unable to ascertain the motive. Several phyBlelana were summoned, but all of them pronounced the injuries fatal, and It is not believed that tho unfortunate man can survive many hours.

Mr. Conlson Is 33 years of age, and, bo far aa known, had no business or domestlo troubles, He waa muoh respected In the neighborhood in whioh ho lived, and had a largo elrole of friends. LONG SHOTS. The British Lead Thirty eight Points at 800 Yards. They Win the Choico ot Positions To day, and Shoot From Where the Dukln.

Team Shot in 1877. Spocial to tho Eaglo. Crkedmoob BAKOKj L. September 15. The second day of tho International Military Match opened bright and beautiful, but with a forty mile an hour gale blowing straight a'oroBB the range a left wind, just tho breezo which the American team havo been wishing for.

Tlio orowd of spectators is muck larger than yostorday, and there is much more Interest in the shooting and excitement than at the opening of the match, The British won tho choice of positions this morning. Sir Henry Halford choosing tho targeti on the extreme right of the range. This exactly revorsea the position of the two teama from yesterday, and giveB the Volunteers a slight advantage ovor the AmorloflDB, as the ground the former will occupy Is popularly supposed to be the most desirable shooting location on the range. It was on these two targets that the Dakin team shot in 1877, when Sir Henry's long range team received so tremendouB a drubbing, and the British are not a little elated that the tablos have now been turned In their favor. The only change in tbo order of shooting is the substitution of half past twelve in placo of one o'clock as tho hour for beginning the shooting.

At 800 yards, all through tho morning, tests were made by the officers and members of the respective teams aa to tho force of the wind. Tho long rauge men in shooting at 1,000 yarda have been using from seventeen to nineteen polntaj allowance, whioh would require for a military gun an allowance or hold off of from thirty to thirty flvo feet. There, aro indications of the gale ehlfting to the southward. If this occurs there will be tho prettlost kind of a "fishtail" wind, and matters are hkoly to be very lively in consequence Captain Godsal, of tho British team, who was out of form yesterday, is roportod to be in exoellont health to day. On tho American Bide Dolan is suffering from indisposition, and ia now under the Burgeon's hands.

The prospects of a vory close fight at this honr (12 o'olo kl are first class. Bets are being offered that the Americans will cut down the British lead matorially, if thoy do not entirely ovoroome It, at 800 yarda. THE BlitlTSH LEAD TEHEE POINTS. 1:40 B. M.
