Investigation by Coroner Nolan and a Jarr tbe Franklin Aronuo Bail rend Company Censured and tno Driver Held In to Answer. In Justioe Elliott's Court room, oornor of Bouth First and Fifth streets, yesterday afternoon, Coroner Nolan and a Jory concluded an iaveaUgeticn into the olroumatanoss attending the death of Denis O'Brien, a child aged two years, who resided with its parent a i.Tl Tnae, and who was run oyer shortly after aix'o'olook on the evening of the 21th by car No. 82 of tho Franklin avenue Una. Tha little follow died two days later from the result of theinju ries whioh consisted mainly of a laceration of the left log: THE TESTIMONY.

The first witness called waa Dr. George W. JHobara. son who testified to attending tho ohlld after receiving tho injuries; it died from shook consequent upon the laceration of the leg was informed tt had been run over at the corner of Wythe avenuo and Taylor Btreet. Richard Vance, of Rockaway, after being Bworn deposed I was riding on carlrfo.

S2 open car of the Franklin svenne line on the evening in oson I was sitting on the east side over the rear 'hoeljand when passing along Wythe avenue near felt the oar Jar or Jump a young man beside mo jumped out and pulled the child from before the rear wheel on the east side; rear wheel did not pass lover the child, only tha front one tho oar appeed to be ooing at the ordinary rate of speed; did not notloe the grade; saw the driver a moment previous to the accident sitting on the front seat, and tha conductor speaking with him; THE DBIVEB WAS BITTING there for sir or seven minutes beforo the child was run over; the child waa lying across the track when nulled from under tbe rear wheel; at the instant the child was run over could not say that the driver was sitting he was sitting down a few seconds previously. Tho testimony of James Sheffman, of 220 Fulton street, was to the following effect saw the driver standing up talking with the conductor at the time of iho aoeident; the car waa going up grade and tho driver had tho break In hla hand after stopping the car neither the driver or conductor got off tho former tried to start tho car again NEITHEB OFFfiBED ANY ASSISTANCE don't think thoy wore under the influonoo of liquor at tho tlmo. Edward Tyrrell swore that ha helped to tako the child from undor the wheel, but saw nothing of the aooidont the grade was a level at that point. Aa tbe Bight left Mary Newman's eyes when coo saw tho wheel pass over tho child, she could toll nothing about the matter. Edward Biahop testified that he was sitting on the west side of tbo car on tbo evening of tbe occurrence tho driver was atanding on the east side, and waa not Colonel one Ins lsM Upon.

Sbaklnp tbe "Bloody Shtrt." A speoial meeting of the Nineteenth Ward Hayea and Wheolsr Club was hold hut evening, at Union Hall, Division avenue and Oiymor street. Colonel Balrd, the cxeouttve of the Club, occupied tha chair, and Alfred Hodges reoordod tho proceedings. The minutes of the previous meeting having boon adopted reports of committees wero in ordar. Mr. J.

H. behalf of tho Committee on Wlg wam.was in apoBitlon to report progress nothing hod bean deoided upon definitely. A motion by Colonel Jonas to clothe Iho Commit too with power to act in the premises was not agreed to, an amendment to the contrary, offerod by Mr. E. A.

Walter, prevailing. No further business offering, Colonel Jones waa prevailed upon to address tho meeting. Ho aaid on extensive tour to different sections of tho country had satisfied him that tho Bopubllcau party to a man, would support Hayes and Wheeler. There would not be any Fenton or Conkling men, or any other man's mon in this campaign. By many it was said tho only question at Issue is hsrd or soft monoy, but that shrunk into insignificance in faco of tho oxisting rolatious between tho North and South.

Muoh, he said, aB mon may cry our about flaunting tho "bloody abirt," thero was no nood for oonoealment knowing as he did personally, thai it waa necessary to snake It. In tho South tho mass of the people wore jUBt as rebellious as ever. Their intention was to re onact alavory In all Its force without the re enactment of any law to that end oxcoptlng such a ono as the "Apprentice Act" of England. under which 'tbo nom noi would )o driven from the farms thoy had been working to aoocpt acrvlce with their white masters at twenty or thirty ocntB a day. Tho threat had been oponly mado, that, baring tbo inspectors and other election officers they meant to do even worse than Tweed did in tho palmy days of tho New York Ring.

Though tho rival candidates atand above discussion, Colonel Jbncs said the issue atlll remained whether tho loyal mon who won ronown and saved tbo Union would quietly surrender tho country and Government into tho hands of rebels. Mr. J. F. Ames, Captain Place and Mr.

J. H. Jeffers each spoko briefly successively, and thereafter an adjournment was taken for one weok. CIVIL SUITS. Another Pill for the Street Railroad Men.

A Passenger's Toes Yalncd at $500 Each. The Award in the Schleier Wol wood Caso Set Aside. William Hesdra sued the Broadway Boil road Company and recovered $1,750 for damages to his foot, while traveling on one of tho defendant's cars. Ha stepped from a crowded car to giro a lady a seat, and before he could get upon tbe car again it started and bo was injured. Defendants appeolod to tho Gen eral Term of tho City Court, which affirmed tha judg ment, Judge MoOue dlBSontlng, and Judgo Boynolds writing tho annoxod opinion Plaintiff was scaled in one of the open cars of tha dolondant.

whon tho car stopped to tako In othor uas sengers, Tho seats wore all filled and the steps on the side of tho car wore nearly filled with passengers stand ing, fiaiuun ooing at tno ona 01 sue seat nexc una sidewalk, got up to glvo his eeat to a woman who was ono of tlie passengers than gutting on tho oar. Tho nido rail was bo full that ho was compelled to step upon tho ground to let the woman pass In. be holding on to the stanchion bo as to stop upon the rsll as soon as Bhe was out of his way. Before sho was seated, and just as he waa about to step on tbe rail, the conductor blew the whistle, tbe car Btarted BUddenly and the plaintiff missed his footing on the rail, so that hiB foot went between the rsil and the car, in front of tbe wheel, and be was so injured as to neoosBltato the amputation of four of his toes. It 1b a little unoertain, and probably tbe plaintiff could not tell whether he had actually raised his foot beforo the whistle blew, or whether, soomg the car about to start, ne nastuy attempted to fwcura a atandinff nlacn on tho rail.

Wo ara asked to hold as matter or Ian that there waa no negligence on tuo part 01 no conuuotor, or wa 11 were waa nogii In starting the car before the plaintiff waa on, hen that it is equally clear as matter of law that tho plaintiff was negligent in attempting to gat on the oar alter it had Btarted, or aa it waa starting. Wo tbink both questions wore for the jury, and that tho decision of one does not nocessarfiy dotennino the decision of tho other. Tho conductor knew that passengers wero getting on at that put of the car, and his attention should have been given to what waa taking place there until everything was in order for him to start. Whether he bad or had not suffioiont notioo that tho plaintiff, who had juat beforo got on tbe car, was Intending to get ou again as soon as ho had given place to tho woman, and whether the conductor was sufficiently cautious in starting whUe the plaintiff was on tho ground or about stopping upon acrowded sido roll, wero questions of fact which wo think ware proper for tho consideration of the jury. Tbe starting of tho car as described precipitated sudden emergency upon tho plaintiff, aud whether ho did as weU as an ordinarily prudent man could be oxpeoled to do under tho circumstances, was another and a different question of fact, and one which tho averogo sense and oxpertonco of a jury could best dotormlne.

Whilo it is true the plaintiff was under no legal obligations to loavo bis eoat to accommodate another passenger, wa cannot bold that it was uogllgecco or improper fat him to do so, If ho ohose to take tho inconvenience of riding In another place, wbloh tbe Company used for carrying pasBon He did not thoroby forfeit bis right to redress or injuries arising from any mismanagement on the part of tha agents of the Company. These views dispose of tho exceptions taken on the trial, and lead to affirmance of the judgment. Geo. G. Rexnoldb, Judgo.

For tha plaintiff, Morris 4 Poarsall; for ths defendant, Wm. M. lngraham snd Winchester Brltton, of counsel. Tbe Award In ttio Scnieler Woitvood Litigation Met Aside Justice Bar. nard's Opinion.

As announced exclusively in the Eagle last Barnard has sot asldo the award of Judges Iteynolds and McOue, arbitrators in tho Schleler Welwood litigation. Schlejer claimed to be Wolwood's partner in the purchase and salo of land at tho City of Brcslau. Schlelor sued Welwood for an accounting, the defense being that plaintiff was defendant's agent. Out of this troublo somo eleven separate actions grew, and tba litigation was referred to Judges McOue and Reynolds, as arbitrators. They dcriacd two of the oases, and mado on award In favor of the defendant.

Tho plaintiff appealed to tho Special Term of the Supremo Court, and moved to set aside tho award, on the ground that the submission cmbraood an award in all the cases, and that thero was no authority for a partial award. Tho defendant orguod that an award bad only been mado in tbe two cases having tho Bame causo of aotion, which bad already been heard, and that tho arbitrators had not hoard sufficient orideaoo In the other to onaWo thorn to dooide. It was also urged that a supplemental power to decide separate and partial was given. In setting aside the award Justice Barnard writes the anuexed OPINION I tbink tho award of tho arbitrators ehould be Bet aside. They have decided nothing.

Tho conclusion that tho 10th of January, 1870, agreement was a full BOttlement up to this date, waa only finding a ainglo foot that might bo of Importance in fixing an amount due to one or other of the parties. The submission called for a decision of tho rights of the under this agroement as well 08 prior to it, unless tho agrooment shut out all prior disputes. If ft did. than the rights of tho parties under it wero to ba settled. Assuming that tho supplomontal power to deoldo "separate and partial awarda" was glveu, it could not bo fairly hold to give powor to find facts separately.

In such a case thoy could settlo any action and single dispute separately. Aviard set aside, with 110 costs. Ia lie a Deserter 7 Wm. Burton, of Yonkers, enlisted in the navy without his parents' consent, being a minor. Ha deserted, was captured, tried by court martial, snd Is now undergoing twolva months' confinement in tho Navy Yard.

This morning he was before Judge MoCuo on a writ of habeas corpus his counsel claiming that as ho enlisted, being a minor, without his parents' consent, there was, in act, no enlistment and could therefore bo no desertion.

Hit complaint was that Freeman had made him a anlt of clothea for 129, whioh waa a misfit, and ho sued to recover this amount and 100 additional, for loss of time In calling at the defendant's place about the matter. The tailor filed genoral denial to the complaint. The plaintiff testified: The defendant made a anlt ol clothea for mo In the month of May, for which he charged at the tune I ordered the clothes, I ordered the coat in particular lo be frook and ont away, and no binding on It; ho agreed to make mo a good fit; the coat did not fit me and it was not made aooording to agreement; the clothes were aont to my house, I tried tbem ou and they did not lit me; I told defendant of It, and ho agrood to mako them good; I called on him four or five timos, and sent to nlm three or four times, and ho finally told me that he could not suit me; the pants which I ordered were alroady made; I paid 5 on account when I left my measure; I nover wore tuo clothea after trying them on; I took them back and demanded my money back, and defendant rofusod to pay me; he told mo that the pants wero made for a ouBtomor, and Bald thoy would be made to fit me, but thoy never did fit me.

STREET CLEANING. Com. Fowler Somelhing ought to be done about street cleaning.

Tho atroota aro very dirty. Tho mon are roportlng that thoy aro doing fairly with tho work but I do not think thoy aro doing as much as thof should. Tho beat plan would bo to diroct tho Superintendent of Streots to give directions to every ward contractor to put a force of mon on each ward and clean every Btreet right up, and to eoo to It that It is dono and not to pay any bills unloBB tho work Is properly done. The weather is very hot and the complaints of citizens aro groat. Many atroots.I know, aro very dirty.

Com, Adams I agree with you not only the atreota but the aowor basins and culverts. Twenty four hours' notice should be given in accordance with tho charter, and then see to it that tho work is done. Secretary Northup Several years ago wo cleaned by dlvisionB. Thon It waa roqulrod that the dusty streets should be swept three times a weok. Tho Common CoudcJI, when it got control, changed the thing and mado requisition that it should be done only once a week.

It la not altogether the contractor's fault, but that of the system. Suppose ha sweeps the street on Monday; then ho 1b not requlrod to Bwoep it again until the succeeding Monday. Of course tho streets will get dirty in thrjo days. There are Btreota whioh If cleanod evory day In the weok would still be dirty on 8unday. The contractor is not to blame for that.

Com. Fowlor offerod the following, which was adopted JUsolved, That the Superintendent of Streets be directed to order the contractors for cleaning tho various wardB to clean tho samo thoroughly during the coming two weoks, and that the Superintendent dlreots the inspectors of stroct cleaning to roport daily as tho work progresses any neglect of duty on tho part of tho contractors to carry out faithfully this direction of tho Board. The Board then adjourned. A SKULL SMASHED Iff, A Noted Detperado Again on tbe Ram. pntfo Patrick Breen't) Latcajl Out rase.

This morning, Officer John Williams of tha Nlulh Precinct, arrested Patrick Breen, of Walworth Btreet, for a felonious assault committed on Patrick Conigan, a resident In tho same tenement honse, at an early hour to day. Breen is a confirmed drunkard, who has been bo fore Justice Somlor over half a dozen times within the past year. On the but occasion he was Bent to tho Penitentiary whonce ho has only reoontly boon liberated. Under the lnlluenoo of liouor ho loses possession of bis senses, and has been guilty of the most barbarous assaults on his wife and ncabora of his family. It appears that after a turon ot tbe most immoderate indulgence, he, this morning, bocamo impressed with the Insane belief that Corrlgan bad out tbeheads off bis wife and chlldron, and influenced by this delusion, bo seized a hammor, and, bursting Into tho apartment of Corrlgan, Btruck tho unoffending and unsuspecting man a murdorous Wow upon tbo head with it.

The force of the blow fellod Corrlgan to tho floor, and the madman was about to repeat tho attack, whon Corrlgan 's wife Belzed him and prevented" him. Officer Williams was soon after called In, and took bo fellow iu charge. When asked why he committed the assault, he began to ravo about hi wife and It appears, are well enough, but afraid to Uve In the house with nim when in his exoltad mooda. In reply to a question of Clerk Daly, Breen Bald "I'm glad I did hit him. The villain out the beads off my wife and chlldron, and lie made a worse Job of it than a common butchor would have done.

him, he's nomochanlo." Upon examination, It was found that Corrlgan'a akull wa slightly fractured by tho wound, and he was ordered to be sent to the Hospital. Jnstlce Semler com mitted Breen, who was evidently laboring under (Murium tremens, to await tho result of his victim's Injuries. A RIW BELL TOWEB. At the New Lota town meeting, held in April laat, the citizens, by resolution, authorized tho town authorities to erect a boll tower for the use of the local Fire Department, at a coat not to exceed $1,900. For some time past the Town Board have boon busy ciamiolEg estimates and plana tor the work, and recently made their award.

The work, which has Just been commenced, was given to Mr, Fischer, But Now York builder, to be performed In accordance wl(lt plans and specifications drawn by Captain J. C. Bin. richs, O. E.

The tower will be 100 feet in hoight, and toe bell, abont to bo purchased, will weigh about 3,600 pounds. Tho foundation of the tower will be of atone and the atructuro of wood. Above the belfry will be a lookout commanding an extensive view. The site is in the yard of the Station House on Butler avenue, and tho bell win boiu charge of the keeper of the Town Hall. This arrangement will bis ore to citizens freedom from tha annoyance hitherto closed by the mischievous ringing of false alarms, a practioe prevalent under the oil firs department, that happily baa been infrequent since tho department waa reorganized.

DKAD MEN'S SHOES. Mayor Sohroeder was asked to day if there wero many Republican appUosiU tot tbe position of President of the Polloe OomoLalon. His reply waa that those applloatlona were eo meroua and so pressing, that to avoid thorn he waa actually obliged to flee into lb ooontrr. The Return of the Twenty third. tfo Formal Beception, bnt a Spontaneous Tribute of Admiration from the Citizens of Brooklyn What the Veterang Did for the Boys Delightful Termination of a Highly Successful Trip.

At eleven o'olock yesterday morning the Twenty third Regiment struck tents and marched out of Camp Woodward, homoward bound. Tho companies hoadod for the Oontannial Grounds, and stacked arms on tho lawn in the quadranglo bounded by tha Grand American Restaurant, on three sidest Hera tha regiment took dinner, and an OPEN AIB OONOEBT was givon by Conterno's Band. Thousands of spactor tors throngod about the troops and manifested their appreciation of tha superb performance ol tha band by cnthusiaatio and hearty plaudits. Eating, sauntering and smoklug, tho time passed rapidly and pleasantly until half past one, when ths assembly sounded and tbe companies fell In. Hearty cheers were given by tha boys for ths Centennial Commissioners and the Grand American, regimental lino was formed, and in columns of fours tho Twenty third swung through the grounds to ths depot of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

A brief holt under tha woloome shade of tho dopot porttoo ensued, and then the boys took seats in tho cars. Thanks to Major Delanoy, tho trainmaster of tho road, ths accommodations wero of the very best and there was not so muahv as a moment's delay. Indeed, in the matter of transportation Major Delanoy so exerted himself and took such deep personal interest in the comfort of the regt mont that tho command will feel itself under lasting obligation to him. Tho Bpeclal train loft the Centennial Dopot at two o'clook. It had tho right of way of the road, and mado the run from Philadelphia to Jersey City, with throo stoppages, In two hours and a half.

ON THE BOAD tho boys indulged in all manner of sportlulnoss. The A Company gang wero particularly loud, and tho declaration of tho immense plaoords which deooratod elthor side of tho car, "A Company We Will," was fully llvod up to. Tho invalid, who had been brought down from camp In carriages, wore given room in tha officers' cars, and noarly aU of them bad so far recu pcratod by tho tlmo Brooklyn was roaohed that thoj mado tho parade from the South Forry to tho Armory. It had boon given out that the regiment would not arrive until half past six or sevon o'clock, and muoh gratification was expressed when it was found on reaching Jersey City that thero would be no nooesslty to wait for ferry transportation. For in tho slip of tho forry house lay the Montlcallo, all ready for start, aud directed by the Hon.

Cyrus P. Smith in person. The hour being bo early tha boys wore treatod to a short sail down the harbor, which cooled them off ntooly and braced thorn up for the oomlng march. As tbo boot neared the Brooklyn Bide preparatory to making a landing, the band played "Homo Again," following it with John Howard Payno'a Immortal song, and aa tho chains wore attached which fastonod the boat to tho bridge, tho last strains of "HOMI, SWEET HOME," sound out over tho oheers ot the throngs that waited at tho forry gates. No formal reception was had, tho rogimcnt halting only long enough for equalization, and this accomplished tho march was at onoe taken ug for tho Clermont avenuo Armory.

Along Atlantio annuo tho sidewalks were lined with people at tho corner of Henry street, whoro tho regiment broke into column of companies, tha throng of sightseers was vory dense, and down the Btreet to Montague, through the lattor to Clinton, and thence to Schermerhorn street, tlioro was considerable enthusiasm. Hut it was, in Sohormerhorn street and Lafayetto avenue that the tempor of tho people of Brooklyn had fullest exhibition. From sidewalks and stoops, windows and verandahs, flags were displayed, handkerchiefs waved, amid handolapplcgs and hurrahs. And with good reason. For these were the boys who had secured to Brooklyn ALL THE HONOllS of the Contonnial parado the boya who had outnumbered, outmarched, and taken Into camp tha famous Seventh, and whom Genoral Sherman aald that In their passage beforo ths reviewing stand they marched better even than the West Pointers.

An ovation would havo boon tho right thing, but ths heartiness of what reception they did have assured tho boys that what the Twenty third had accomplished wss not entirely forgotten. At the armory a "spread" awaited iho boys, provided by tho Veteran Association. Iced coffoa, oraam and cake wore there in abundance, ond wero partaken of with relish. Whon all had bean gatisnsd, cheers were given for Colonel Ward, Lieutonant Colonel Partridge and Adjutant Frothlngham, and for Drs. Smith, Hutchinson and Partridge, Hospital "Steward Traver and Sorgeant Farr, and of tor a characteristic response by Major Smith, similar oompllment was paid Captain Ogden, quartermastor Budd, Commissary Bridge and other offlocrs of the Regimont, not forgetting Charley Bryant.

A brief period of handshaking and congratulation onsuod, and the Philadelphia trip was OTOr BatiBfaotorily over. A GOOD AIIKEST. A Notorious Hone Thief captured by Detective Williams An Old Ol fender on tho Road to Crow Hill. At an early hour this morning, Deteotivo Billy Williams stood in front of Justioe Somlor's Court, his hair closely cut, tho ends of his mustache waxed, and his ferret like oyea taking in every lnoldont going on around him. Ho looked bright as a now allfor 'quarter, and appeared satisfied with himself.

He has entered the Summor campaign lo search of horse thoives, and yesterday arrestod a notorious number of that predatory profession. Presently the "Maria" drovo up in front of tho Court Houso, ond a tall, stolid looking Individual tumbled out. Ho was about six feet in height, rather roughly drossad, ond looked as If he hod stepped from tho centre of hay stack. "'Morcin' Ed," said tho detectlro, looking up at him and straining hiB neck to do so. "Mornln'," said the stolid looking man, gruffly.

Both then ascended the stairs, and tho boras thiof was arraigned beforo Justice Semlor. His uamo If ho has ona is cither Edward Payson, Edward Payno or Edward Bahan. To day ho eleoted to be known by tha lattor coguomon. He is of the "sneak" order of horso thieves. Ho has not sufficient skill to doctor the animals and do an extensive trade in them, Ilk tho mors accomplished mombers ot his calling, but he is equally as dangerous to be st largo as tho vary worst ot them.

His mode of procedure is to roam around the city and oountry In the day time, and when night oomes to run boraes, cows and other animals off tholr pasture and if possible to sell them, or if unsuccessful in doing bo, to impound them and get the head money paid to poundmastors for eatrays. In this occupation ho is ss slsted by his wife, a coarse, vulgar Englishwoman, named Lydla Ann, who before marrying him was the wife of a colored man. In 1871 Detective Williams arrested him for stealing throo horses, and he waa triad for tha offence beforo Judge Morse. His oounsel then attempted to show that hs was insane, but two doctors, who he sjroro hod ottended him while suffering from a out oDtils head, that it was urged had affected hla brain, testified that thoy hod never in thoir lives seen him before. This InBanlty dodge thus collaped, and Judgo Moore sent him to the Penitentiary for tbroo years.

Before his arrest at that time he had stolen numar ous horses, but bad oscapod conviction, His brother, with whom he onco oporatod. Is now undergoing a sentence of eight years in the State Prison. Last Monday evonlng Bahan visited Flatbush, and remained there until after dark, when ho entered the lot of Mr. Wm. M.

Garnin, and stole a trotting moro valued as $500. In the morning, tho animal was missed, snd word was sent to polioo headquarters. Deteotivo Williams waa detailed to look after the matter, and visited Flatbush, immediately. He found on inquiry, that Bahan ond Aydia Ann, hod been in the violnity. He was told that ths woman carried a halter in bar bond, and ha knew his old acquaintance! from ths description given of them.

Yesterday he met Bohan on Fourth avenue, and took him into custody. Tha horso, which had been refused admission to the pound, was recovered and returned to its owner. Bohan tried to make Judge Semlor bo Hero that he found tha animal ot large on tba stroot. His story was too thin, aud he was committed for tha action of the Grand Jury. A HOTED K.

FARRRIjU Jy7 lt MAniiSW HVRPHV. CoramUtioattt, What the New Munioipal Building la to Look Like. The Drawings and Specifications Now Open for Pnblio Inspection. In pursuance of the resolution of the Board of Aldermen, passed yesterday evening, the plans of the various architects wero placed on exhibition to day in the Common Council ohambor, in ordar ttt public may have an opportunity of inspecting and passing on their claims to superiority. This action hss been forced upon the Aldermen, beoauBo it has been publicly, allogod that there waB favoritism controlling thoir action in selecting the most serviceable plan.

The gentlemen who ore especially affected by this ao cusatlon deny any favoritism. Thoy have said to day that all ths competing architects have bad tho samo chanco. The same invitation and tho Bame time was issued to aU of thorn, and no architect was allowed to alter his plans and specifications once they were submitted, but some ot tho architects failing to present the specifications ot their pinna at the tlmo they furnished tha latter, were pormltted to do so afterward. It was a mistake on tho part of the architects, but involved no unfair advontsgo to others. THE INVITATION simultaneously extended to aU tho architects to draw plans, Aldorman Frenoh statos, was as follows Marble front 3 atory and mansard roof, with cellar, plans sufficiently elaborate to make estimate; cost not to exceed plans to be ready by Juno 14, at 3 P.

in Council Chamber; 12,000 square fcot of office room on eaoh floor. First floor Collootor of Taxes 6,000 loot Registrar of Arrears feet Assessors 3,000 foot Board (patient's room in oellar) 500 foot Safe room 1,000 feet Sooond floor Board of City Works 6.P00 foot Police and Exolso 8,000 feet Hoalth feet Safe 1,000 fast Third floor Police and Excise 6,000 foet City 6,000 foot Sato room 1,000 feet Fourth floor Polioo and sleoping rooms for light and ven Ulatlon, and open space, 16x40, heating appa ratua in cellar. Thero wore nino architcots invited and eight responded. After a long consideration of the eight plans by a special conimittoo, it was decided to report three to the Board of Aldermon, from which a selection might bo mado namely, those of Arthur Crooks, William B. Ditmars, John Mumford, and on motion in tho Board, those of MundoU were added.

These names have been balloted on several times, but without result. It Is hard to say whoso plans will bo eventuaUy selected. Of those at tha head of the competing list and on whom tho choice is likely to fall, mention Is made In the following brief sketch of their respective plans MB. ABTHUB OBOOES's PLANS. It seems to be conceded that the most harmonious arid beautiful front which any ot the architects present is that by Arthur Orooke.

If It be in every other respoot simUarly parfect, his building must head tho Ust of competition. Mr. Arthur Crooke describes bis building, in his communication to the Common Council. Ho aays "that it has been arranged with regard to economy of construction and facility for fire proofing and ventilating tho whole. It is divided longitudinally by two brick walls running the entire longtb of tho building, and transversely by two brlok wauB, between whioh, on either eldo, are the two large safe vaults, rising like towers from the bottom to tho top of the building.

The spaces on either sldo of the halls are subdivided by 12 inch iron fireproof columns and iron girders, mado of two 15 inch heavy iron beams, bolted together. Tbe floors are constructed of 3x12x8x14 yellow pine JolBts, resting ou brick walla and iron girders, and flllod in both top and bottom by the asbetos fire proof blooks, whioh have been oxtonsively used and proved to bo as porfoct a systom of flreproofing as iron beama and brick arches. The main stairs ara located nearly in tho oentro of the building and are to be constructed of iron. The main entranoe is through a spacious vestibule which runs up two stories In hoight, thereby giving light and air to first and sooond Btory halls and producing a good architectural effect. The arrangement and location of the various departments has been made with regard to tho requirements of each in itself and to othors, so that thoro may bo no clashing or confusion.

Private communication between departments having business with one another ia prov idod for. Tha various departments which have offloos on more than one story are connected by means of iron spiral stairs, so that each department is integral in itself. There are no dork rooms in my plan, the interior rooms on tho third snd fourth stories are woU lighted, by means of largo, light shafts, coverod with skylights of iron and glass. Tho veutUatlon Under the colling of each haU longitudinally, running the wholo length of tha buUdlug, an air chamber is providod, which is emptied into fonr largo ventilating ducts, rising from the bottom to the top of tha building, and well out above tho roof, and whioh will ba thoroughly ratified. With the air chamber before mentioned ore connected registers in the floors snd under the ceilings.

Generally the rooms for the heads of deportments ore located tbe front of the building. Mr. Orooke estimates to erect a munioipal building after his plan for $163,800, leaving a balance of $11,200 for architects, commissions and sundries. Mr. Crooke's style is Benaissance.

MB, B. DITMABS" PLANS. Mr. Ditmars in his communication to the Common Council Committee, gives no general description of his building. Tne front, like Mr.

Crooko's, Is of the Frenoh Benaissance stylo, but not so ornate and pleasing to the eye. It oreates tbo impression that the designer intended it rather for a private mansion than a publlo building, though, doubtless, the specifications make amplo provision for the wants of tho municipality. JOHN MTJMTOBD, JR'S. DESION is also based on tho Benaissanoe stylo, plainer.howevar, than Ditmars'. Its characteristic Is masslveness.

A glance shows that it is intended for a pubUo building and sooms to bo drawn with tho intention of furnishing great space and light. It seams to be moro suited for a publlo building than Ditmars' drawing, but perhaps the specifications containing the details of tho work might load to a modification of this first improa sion. The ost Imate for tho building in.tl70.4OO. mb. oiles' municipal buildino would look strangoly in proximity to the classic front of tho new Court Houso.

It is of the Benaissanoe style, of the plainest description, and would probably make an exoellont and commodious edifice. The front laoks tho beauty and symmetry whioh predominate In some of the plans. It may be that tho exoellcncles of the internal accommodations make It tho peer at least in point ot utility, of the othor plans. GETTING FRIGHTbNED. Architect fflCandell Desires to Modiry JXis Interview.

Bbooklxx, July 7, 1876. To the Editor, of the Brooklyn Eagle I was very muoh surprised in reading an account of an interview between one of your roportors and myself in last ovening's edition of the Eaqlb, I waa Interviewed, as the saying is, hut gave tbe reporter no authority to put in anyosnng of the kind as published in tba Eaous. I did authorize him to put In a written statement, which be has at present. No names of any ono, either Bepublioan or Democrat, appear in that written statement. I told him positively that I did not intend, undor any circumstances, to mako a personal matter of the subject.

If you will publish tho above you will much obUge me. BespectluUy, Wlf. MUNDSix, Arohitect. Mr. MundoU must have a vory remarkable mind If tho report in the Eiqle astonished him, for he was distinctly Informed that he was being interviewed, and in addition to making remarks which the reporter took down in shorthand, favored the reporter by adding conalderable in his own handwriting, which bs can see, if he so desires, at the Eaqli office.

Mr. MundeU's fears of revenge on tha part of Mr. Frenoh and soma other members of the Committee have evidently affected bis memory. He may regret the Interview, bnt be simply makes himself ridloulous By denying any port of It. Ed.

"I defy him or anyone else to prove It," she said, "You ought to be ashamed of yourself," said the Judgo to Campbell, "to publicly proclaim your slater to be a bad character.

Yesterday afternoon the funeral of the late Martin Schuster, the East New York saloon keeper, whose recent death, as alleged, from hydrophobia was chronicled in these columns two days since, took plaoe from the Church of the Holy Trinity, in Montrose svenne.

Obioaoo, DX, July 7, The Inter Ocean special, under date of Bismarck, D. tho 1st, says Information from the slo'ux expedition, dated Mouth of the Bfg Horn, July 1, says. General Custer left tho month of tbe Boss Bud, with twelve companies, to follow an Indian trail of a large band of hostile Sioux. The followed np in the direction of the Big Horn. The Indians were making for the Eastern branch of the Little Big Horn.

General Terry, with Gibbon's command of flvo companies of Infantry and four of oavalry, started to aacend the Big Horn, to attack the enemy in tne rear. On the morning of tha 25th, two Crow scouta brought intelligence, of the battle of the previous day. Upon the receipt of the news the command commenced its march in a southerly direction, where Bmoke waa seen, whioh Indicated that Custer had fired tho Indian village. The next morning the head of tho column entered plain bordering on the bank of the Little Big Horn, where recently had stood an Immense Indian village three miles in length. THE OBOTXND wan strewn with slaughtered horses, cavalry eqnip.

ments and the dead bodies of nino Indian chiefs. Tho clothing of Lieutenants Sturgls and Porter were also found, pierced with bullets. Further on was found the body of Lieutenant Mcintosh. Just then a scout arrived with intelligence that Col. onel Reno was entrenched with the remnant of the Seventh Cavalry on a bluff near by, waiting relief.

The command pushed on and found Bono with the remain, der of the seven companies. Bono's command had been fighting since Sunday morning, the 26th, until relieved by General Terry, the night of the 26th. Terry's arrival caused the Indian to retire. Rorfb knew nothing of tho fate of the other five companies which had been separated from them on tbe 25th to make an Mtack under Custer's command, at point about three miles down the right bank of the stream. Custer's bad apparently made an attaok on tho Indians, and was compelled to retreat, but was cut off from the main body.

They were forced into narrow reoess where horses and mon lay slaughtered prornisouously. Thero were found tho bodies of Custer, his two brothers and nephew, Mr. Bead, Colonels Yates and Cooke, and Captain Smith, all lying In a circle of a few yards, and here one after another of Custer's brave oommand fell.

Words of Welcome and Farewell in Dr. Scudder'a Church. The Central Congregational People Take Leare of Rev. William Braden and Recede Rer. George S.

Barrett An Liter, eating Occasion. The members of the Central Congregational Churoh assembled in large numbers last evening at the edifice, on Hancock atreet, for the purpose of bidding farowell to Rev. William Bradon, of London, who, since the departure of Her. Dr. Scudder, has filled hla pulpit, and to welcome Eov.

George S. Barrett, of Norwich, England, who will succeed him, and preach until the return of the pastor. The ladles and gentlemen present numbered about 1,500. Both olergy men were in attendance, Mr. Barrett being aocompa.

nicd by his wife. The preachers were tho recipients ol muoh attention from the oongregatlon, and the early portion of the evening was occupied in social intercourse, aud in greeting the new preacher aud bidding the departing one adieu. The arrangements were in tho hands of a Committee consisting of Messrs. David M. Stone, Edwin H.

Cramption, William Hdsall and E. Spink, AMONG THOSE PBESENT wero Rev. B. S. Stone, Bev.

J. G. Bass, Father Gleason aud Messrs. E. W.

Randolph. Tho ladies were out In great numbers, and to their choerf ul presence a large amount of the sociability which prevailed is attributable. The pulpit aud organ loft ware beautifully decorated with American and British flags. On the former waa the word "Wei oome" and the latter "Farewell." The flags were crossod and between them was the American shield, surmounted by the Union jack. A number of long red, white and blue streamers, festooned on the walls, and several other flags completed tbe decorations.

Tho platform was covered with plants and flowers, wbloh permeated the atmosphere with their fragranoe. Mr. E. T. Sprink prosldod.

The exercises opened shortly before nine o'clock with the hymn, "Blessed Be tha Tie that Binds Our Hearts in Christian Lore," which was Bweetly rendered. The Chairman then introduced Mr. David M. Stone. BEMAB.KS OF MB.

D. M. BTONE. Mr. Stone, who was received with applause, in a neat speech proceeded to welcome Mr.

Barrett and his wife. The speaker said ho bolioved that was not the original order of the exercises, but he was willing to follow any order pleasing to themselves. It might be a strange mixtures of mottoes to see the words, "Welcome" and "Farewell," together. They might seem a little incongruous. It might look as If thoy were mixing the farowell and the greeting to save the expense, But it might be well for tbolr English brother whom they wero to greet to see what there was in a farewell.

He would find that it was no severance of the ties formed at tho other greeting, and that when thoy sent their brother across the ocean, they tent their hearts, too. air. Stone was sure that Mr. Barrett, wbom they greeted, couldn't complain that he hadn't a glowing weloome. Laughter.

If tho speaker knew anything about the thermometer, the welcome was indeed a glowing one. In their hearts thoy loved old England, from whence ho came. Applause. As we recalled tho recollections of our mother in our infancy, wo remombered England, ana wnen ano oocaaionauy aamiulstorou tne wmp ana tbong as our mothers did, perhaps we were all the better for it. But as wa have grown older we have done aa other peoplo have done; we have passed from our homes into the outer world and Into other lives, and thuB, said the speaker, aa we are pasalng our hundredth birthday, we lcok back at old England to find ties that bind us with a fond regard to the Mother Country.

And those of us who aro not of English parentage look with respect aud admiration to sturdy England. Mr. Stone here adverted to the relations of the churoh and the gentlemen present. One reason why they sent abroad for their pulpit supply was because our own clergymen of prominence wanted their vacations in the Summer. But those brethren wanted a holiday; it was a rest for them to come here, and thus they killed two birds with one stone.

Mr. Stone then spoke of Mrs. Barrett and aald that in her they welcomed something in Mr. Barrett beside himaolf. They welcomed tbe clergyman to the great churoh and congregation aa the ambassador of God and speaking in Hu name.

We weloome you, continued the speaker, and your wife to our homes, our hearts and our hospitality, which, if you will, partake of It, yon will find it not stinted. We welcome you to all our Joys. There are a thousand beaming eyes looking at yon to night a thousand sweet lips have Ipoken of you; a thousand glowing hearts find their representative in me when I bid you a hearty welcome. Applause. BEFIT OF BET.

KB. BABRETT. Mr. Barrett arose to reply amid great applause. He is sn eloquent speaker and proceeded in a smooth, easy manner.

He sold in substanoa Mb, Ohatskah aim Chrishak Fbiesds I feel somewhat embarrassed to know how fittingly to reply to the exceedingly warm and kind expressions that have fallen from Mr. Stone. 1 have many, times had tbe pleasure of speaking to other congregations than my own, but never had a warmer welcome than has been extended to me here to night. All of my friends who have been among you experienced the same thing. TJiey ell told me that whatever faults Americans might have they were never cold in their greetings to clergymen who came to preach to them.

Mr. Barrett spoke of the pleasure it gave him to follow Mr. Brad en, and referred in very complimentary terms to tha Impression which that clergyman had made in the oongregatlon. Mr. Bradon, be aald, waa older In the mlniatry than he was, and as they knew, in the City ot London be had the honor to succeed the most distinguished minister in England, and none could say that the mantle had fallen on unworthy shoulders.

Tha churoh at the Weigh House was never more prosperous than at this time. The Bpeaker was especially glad that he had come to this country in the Cratonnial year. He had been one who during the late struggle had sympathised quite as much with them as if he had been an American him Belf. Great applause. He could say that he and the church with which he was identified cast their influence on the aido of the North all through the recent struggle for liberty.

After careful observation he had come to the conclusion that our forefathers never did a greater work than whan they signed the Declaration of Independence which he had road in the papers. There wars times when it was good ior a child to go alone, and so with a nation. He rejoiced therefore that ha could enter into our feelings as though he was an American, and aa if with THOU ABOMINABLE CBAOKKBS, which had almost driven him crazy, he could commemorate the founding of our great nation. Mr. Barrett then referred to the great good feeling in England toward this country, and sold that no greater calamity could occur to the civilized world than a war between the nations.

He hoped tha countries would always be united in ths bonds of kindly and gentle rivalry in everything that makes the world nobler and purer, and bringa Christ's kingdom in. Seslde coming to preachj he had como to learn a great many things which would help htm in his own work at horns. It was impossible to coma into such a city without seeing things that strike a stranger with wonderment, and something more than wonderment. He wanted to learn a great deal about church and Sunday School life, and he wanted to see tha physical features of the country. Mr.

Braden looked upon him with envious eye, because now the country only Uved in bis, Braden's, memory. Tbe speaker told of a trip to Saratoga, and said he had nearly poisoned himself drinking the waters there. Although they would doubtless find many great dif ferneea between Mr. Braden and himself, they would find one thing common to both. However far he might oome behind his brother in some ot the qualities whioh commended him to them, they would find one thing common to both, and that was a hearty srmpathy with the great verities of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

They preached Chriat and Him crudfled. They believed as a rule, that tbe Congregationailata in America were tolerant to everything nut a cold, negative or uncertain gospel. His would not such a gospel. Ha would be with them two months, and would hope and pray that when the harvest comes ths wheat might be sprung up and reap one hundred fold. Mr.

Barrett again returned thanks for his kind and cordial reception. He thanked them tha more because they took him on trust, and ha hopad to return soma of the kindness received from them. Upon tha conclusion of bis remarks Mr. Barrett was loudly applauded. Tbe Musical Secnoa of the Aonlsn Society here song a stanza of God Save toe Queen," with very pretty effect and spirit.

THE FAREWELL TO EST. MB. BRADEN. Mr. Spink then mads an address of farewell to Mr.

Braden. After mentioning the travels of ths clergyman during his residence here, he said ha hoped he would go bock to England with the impression that all Americans were proud of their lineage and kinship with England. He heartily rejoiced in the progress of thB mother country.

BRADEN. Mr. Braden, who waa much affected, ascended the platform anil Bold This is a hard moment, and I wish soma one was here in my place My friond, Mr. Barrett saidhe is an object of envy. I wtU confess it in this respect, that I wish my wife was hero.

I say this with muoh more feeling, because I have received, a letter from her asking about tho spiritual fruits of my work here, and Mr. Spink's speech was the answer which I wish she had hoard. My doer friends, I hardly know bow to reply to the cordial and far too flattering words ot your Chairman. I know they are Binoere.and this is both a pleasant and painful experience. Pleasant, because on the fair horizon there la a homo and I am on my way thither.

Painful, because I will Ieavo kind friends here whose affection will live in my memory as long as memory holda ita seat. It is tune for me to go for I feel that I am almost an American. My stay has been pleasant and my return will be pleasant because I ioao a worthy successor. I re grot that I did not have the pleasure of shaking hands with your old pastor, Dr. Souddcr.

I ehould have liked to eoo the man; I should like to feel tho Inspiration be gives to man.

Mr. Braden goes' to night to Boston, sailing from tbiB point at half past tan to morrow morning in tho steamship Pythla.

FOLLY. Three Young Girls on a Spree at Coney Island. What Came of It Tlie Arrest of Two of Their Hale Companions Action of Justice Morse in the Matter. Yesterday Mr. and Mrs.

Miohaol Carroll, of No, 181 Greens avenue, went to Polios Headquarters, and saw the Superintendent about their garot Carroll. She left their house on Sunday morning lost, sinco whioh time thoy hod got no trace of her. Superintendent Campbell asked how old she was, and was answered that her age was abont fourteen. Had she ever been away boforot No; had never staid out all night, sometimes shs came home late. Then the parents were asked what company she kept, and the Superintendent soon discovered that aho was acquainted with ona or two girls who were a year or so older than herself and who wore rather fast in their manners.

Detectives Zundt and Looneywere placed on the case, snd after reoeiring instructions from the Superintendent, they went at once to work. As it generally hippena when thoy have a Job on hand, they wara successful in discovering and recovering tho girls. First of all they found out Eliza Tilton, a bold young miSB of fifteen, who resides at No. 4 Qulncy street. Sho was questioned by the Superintendent, and finally she admitted that she had induced Margarot CarroU and another girl named Eatle Cogswell, who resides at 175 Lexington avenuo, to go down to Coney Island with hor.

Eliza had money, and THE THREE WENT TO THE DEAOH and had quite a time, and their coduct there soon drew after them a number of young scamps, who wero anxious to nuke their acquaintance. It seems that a man named Blackford, who resides at 87 Fulton atreet, observed this, and ho spoke to Eliza Filton and told her she had better go homo. She Bald Bhe wouldn't and he offered to take her to Brooklyn, but she rofusod to accompany him, and right after this she and the othor two girls became sepsrated and loat each other. The Filton girl, being unsuccessful in bar search after the other two, returned to Brooklyn at least so shssayi and Kate Cogswell and Margarot CarroU wero left down at the Island without any money. In this pUght thay met two young man named Elbert J.

Walling and Henry C. Young, both of whom reside at 67 Cranberry street. These worthies Introduced themselves to the girls, paid thoir fare to Brooklyn. Now, the young men state that when the girls got to Brooklyn that thay put Katie Cogswell in a car and sent her home, and desired to do ths some for Margaret CarroU, but she said that it was too lots and she was afraid to go home. Then the young men (as they allege) gavo her a dollar and told her to go and gat a bad In the Clinton House.

She stayed in the Clinton House that night, the proprietor that sho was too lata to go home and wanted a room. He gars her one and she went off in the morning. This is the story as told by the young men, but the fact is that neither Eatle or Margaret went home at all, and the supposition is that somebody SUPPLIED THEM WITH MONEY, for they bare been having "a good time" ever since. Who has been "putting up" tor thtm is a question that the Kiau readers mutt decide. Eliza Filton, it appears, left her home on Monday morning and met Carroll aud Cogswell and has been around with them at times ever since.

When asked whether shs knew where they wars she replied that she believed she could find them. The detectives wars sent over with her, and she went to the European Hotel, in New York, where it appears that Maggie and Katie had stsld for ona or two nights, Thay were not there when ths officer called, however. Then the girl told the detective that Young and Walling would know where they were. Young and Walling are a couple of waiters in a New York saloon in the violnity ot tha Washington Market. The detaetivea visited them, and thay insisted that they knew no mora of the girls than that they brought them from the island, sent one home, and gave the other money to stop in tha Clinton House.

Their actions had, however, been suspicious, and detectives Looney and Zpndt arrested them on a charge of having abducted the girls, and thay were looked np last night late, in the Washington Btreet Station House. Tha detectives were then on the lookout for the girls, but they turned up ss foUows: Block ford, tbe fish man, had heard that the dateotiros were after the girls, and that Young and Walling bad been arrested, and whether or not ha was afraid of getting in trouble himself, is not known, but there is ona singular and auspicious fact connected with Mr. Blackford, and that is that he was enabled to go to Captain Craft, at the York street Station House, and inform him that he (Blackford) knew where the girls were, stating that they wen ot Mrs. Morse's boarding house. No.

fitf Fulton street. Captain Crafts st once sent round Officer Haggerty, who arrested the two young damsels and locked them Young as they are, they are as brazen as can ba, and presented on unblushing front to the Justice when brought np In Justice Morse's Court this morning. Their impudence was so palpable that his Honor re solved to send them somewhere whore they would be kept within bounds. Accordingly thoy start this afternoon to the HOC8K OF BJEFUQE, and where they wiU ramoln nnUl they ore twenty one years of age. Eliza Filton was also arrested by Detectives Zundt and Looney, and was charged with being a common prostitute and a vagrant.

Sbe was, however, discharged, os she was too old to go to tha House ol Befoge. and, being a Protestant, could not be sent to ths House of the Good Shepherd, and too young to go to tho Penitentiary, so shs was, oerforce, discharged. If she does not look out for her self in the future, sue wiu uuu m. wj quickly enough, Baldwin F. Straus appeared for Young and Walling.

He stated that no charge of abduction could ba made or proven against them, because, to the first place, thay did not entice the girls sway from home, but "picked them np" on tha Island.

273 Wallabont street, was brought before Justioe Semler this morning, charged with obtaining beer under false pretenses. Barker's means are limited, and he is the victim of an unquenchable thirst, wbloh he is often unable to appease. Beer is Barker's favorite beverage. He Brinks it before breakfast, and baa been known to get up in the middle of the night and prowl around the honse in Bearch of it. During the heated term it cost him moro than he could nuke to purchase tha drink of which ho Is so passionately fond, and ha was lately compelled to have recourse to a base expedient.

Mrs. Walrer is proprietress of a saloon at No. 377 Wallabout street, but aho ia sensible of Mr. Barker's failing, and every time she looks np at the chalk marks over her bar she is reminded of an unliquidated bill he owes her.

In hla employ waa an apprentice named Sylvester Spleober, whose father is an Industrious, hardworking man, who spends none of his money in beer. Barker, knowing that the credit of Splecher, pert, was good, and exercising some authority over his son, told the latter to take a beer kettlo and get beer at Mrs. Waller's on bis father's account.

"Mine Gott in Himmel 1" exclaimed the astonished Teuton, "Ten I trials mine boer, I paya for it. I have not had beer." This intelligence made Mrs. Waller Institute Inquiries, when she discovered the mean fraud of her old oustomer, Barker, whom she asked to pay the bill.

To add to his meanness ha refused to do so, and Mrs. Wslxer had nun arrestod for obtaining her goods under false pretenses. When brought before Justioe Semler this morning, he pleaded guilty and was fined $16 in default of payment to go to Jon for fifteen days. STONE CUTTERS. An Amicable Agreement Expected.
