M. Chambers, President of the Butchers' and Drovers' Bank, says he has every reason to believe the depositors will leave the adjustment ot the difficulties of tho bank in Ula hands, and will accept the proposition made by him. lie thinks an assessment of $23 par share will dc required of tha stockholders to cIubo up tho business speedily, and is confident this 6Uiii, or at least tho (jveater part of it, will bo returu to tiicm when the assets are realized upon. The Dirootors of tho North 81. Louis Savings Asso tlon have discussed several propositions for tho settlement of their afl'aira, with a view to reopening tho bank and resuming biioiuoss.

The ono most favoribly en tertaineJ is to pay all depositors one half iu cash and one half in Btoc'f. II arrangements can be made to obtain some ready money to carry out this proposition It Ib probablo that the bank will resume busincsB next week. The assets of this Association are the liabilities. As an evidence of returning confidence il may bo flsid that the Broadway Savings Association which felt the run of Saturday and Monday as ccvercly as any bank, received a large number of new accounts yesterday and its deposits were about $80,000 in exeeus oi aoy previotu day. A large number of depositors who withdrew their fuuds Saturday returned them yesterday.

Oliver Cotter Falls to AnotUer Prosecution Justice Ferry Tries Another Excise Case and Gives Some Sound Instructions to the Jurr. Justice Daniel Ferry was again occupied, this morning, with the trial of an Excise case, the in torcstod parties being Oliver Cotter and William Silk, proprietor of tho saloon at No. 2 Veranda plaoe. Tho altor was charged with violating tho Excise laVf by keeping open and selling, on Sunday, July 1.

It soema that Cotter havtai! received, as ho says, several complaints against tho place, resolved on the day in question, to test whether thoy wero woll founded or not, and In company with his first lieutenant, John Adair, by namo, went there on a spying excursion, at about 8 P. M. Adair knocked at iho door and was admitted. He then called for a glass of ale, a portion of which ho drank. In a few moments Oliver put in an appearance, and by showing his authority as Deputy Sheriff, placed Silk undrr arrcBt and brought him to tho Third Preclnot Station House, whore he waa detained for over two hours.

At the trial, this morning, Mr. Jamos J. Gray appeared aa counsel for Silk, aud Mr. Litilefield for Cotter. Tho latter was tho flrat witness and testified substantially, that he saw ale sold and drank on tho occasion relerrod to; did not drink any himself but knew that It was ale trom its appearanoe.

On croas examination by Mr. Gray ho admitted that he had sent Adair into tho placo to purchase tho alo. Adair sworo that he purchased a glass of alo and drank a portion of it ho saw no liquor sold or given away. No other witnesses woro examined by tho prosecution, and MB. GBAY MOVED TO DISMISS on tho ground that Cotter's affidavit was not properly drawn out, and that it had not been proved that tho ale purchased was intoxicating.

Tho motion having been denied, counsfl proceodod to sum up for their respective clients, and a more impassioned or thrilling burst of oratory and inveotive was nover heard in tha First District Court, which was not only crowdod inside but eurrouudod by hundreds of Interested listeners. Tho appeals to Iho jury on both Bides woro most earnest, Mr. Gray taking occasion to denounce the spying system of which Cotter iB tho prototype, and Mr. Littleflold to show up tho manner in which tho Sabbath is deseorated. His thundering tones wblle descanting on tho Bubjaot, could be heard over a block away.

Counsel having spent tholr wind, Justico Forry laid down tho law in his characteristically cool and impartial manner, and naively instructed the jury to pay no attention whatovor to what tho counsel had BBid, but to bo guided solely by the facts aud the law. The jury retired, and after a low moments' absonco returned with a verdict of acquittal. Tho Jury was carefully selected and was composed of the following business men Joseph Maury, druggist. No. 445 HiokB Btrect.

Picnic of tho Oldest Hebrew Association in Hrooklyii. Tho rain did not provent 500 people from attending the twenty first annual picnic of tho United Brethren Benefit Society, which was g.ven at Schuoizen Park, yesterday afternoon and evening. Many of the participants who saw tho heavy storm in the af tornoon had mado up their minds not to attend, but when tho threatening clouds had passed away, aud tho moon and stars had made tholr appearance, they changod their opinion and went to the Park, running tho risk of a postponement. But the event was not postponed ana tho majority of the attendants went to thoplonlo after dark. An unbroken stream of pleasure seekers kept coming till ten o'clock, when tho fun wae at its height.

So long ago as May 20 Jacob Stengel, a resident at No. 20G Humboldt street, whilo drunk and acting in a disorderly manner In MoKibben street, near Graham avenue, was arrested by Officer De la Hunt, The offioer had a tussle with hia prlBoner, In tho course of which tho latter was struck ou tho knee with the officer's billy.

By this and a nogloct of tho injury, Steugel was laid up about tsvo weekB, lu conBequonce of which tho accusation against him has boon postponed from timo to time. At ono period Stougel threatened to profer a charge the officer for clubbing him unnec03sarily, but all idea of that he has since abandoned. In consideration of the affliction growing out of the affair, Justice Guck this morning supendod Bontcnco on Steugol. BUTTEltED ROLLS. As stated by Mrs.

Catharine lleitlinger in Justice Ouok'B Court to day, tho cause of a quarrel between herself and her husband Conrad, yesterday, was the fact that Bhe buttered rolls for their two children, to wliioh he strongly objectod on the scjro of economy. Conrad Insisted that dry rolls were good enough, for that matter better for tho youngsters, aside from the i saving effected. Mrs. ReltUugor made a point that she did not relish rolls without butter and would not bo deprived of the little luxury, neither should her ohll dren if she had to work her fingor ends off. This issue I did not come out publicly, for tbo reason that the only question involved was as to whether Conrad had as saul ted his wife, on wbich tho accused said ho was not ready for a hearing, and obtained a postponement till Saturday.

Conrad furnished a bond for bis appearance to answer. COMI'LYINU WITH HAVES' ORDER. The General Committee of Kings County loses anothor delegate in tho person of Mr. William II. Maddox, of tho Fourteouth Ward.

Maddox, who is a Custom House Inspector, has, in compliance with Mr. HayeB' general order, placed his resignation In the hands of the other ward delegates to bo presented to tho General Committee at its next scBstou. Ho will not, however, sever hie connection with tho Ward Association until at least tho President more specifically defines his order in that regard. COCKXEV ASSOCIATION PICNIC.

In tho evening a large orowd collected who remained until nearly midnight. The arrangements wero all that could be desired. Tho musical part of the pro tfrnmnio was furnished by the Nova Brothers.

Much oredit for the success which attended tho affair is duo to the officers of tho Association, as follows; President, James Wood; Vice President, W. Labdon; Secretary, A. H. Wood, and Treasurer, Goorge Herring. HOSORAKI.V ACQUITTED.

The arrest of James H. Lockwood on suspicion of having been implicated in a robbery at the residence of Mrs. Harvey, No. 62 Clermont avenue, on Juno 33, would Beem to havo been unwarranted, from the fact that ho was honorably acquitted yeaterday by Justice Riley. Mr.

Lockwood, who follows a humble yet honest calling to earn a livelihood for himself and wife, is jealous of his good reputation which hitherto haa been unblemished. HOUSE UUAKD EXCURSION. The barges "Wm. Myers and H. J.

Samuel J.

Tilden sailed for Europe this morning in the steamer Scythia. It was tho intention and doairo of many of Mr. Tllden's friends to have a grand demonstration on tho occasion of bis departure, but ho declined the proposed pubUo farewell and de fllred only his relatives and most intimate acquaintances to see him off. At nino o'clock this morning the dock of tho Cunard Line, at the foot of Grand street, Jersey City, presented tho usual busy spectacle Incident upon the preparation of one of the great ships for sea. Huge express wagons and trucks rumbled along tho whor depositing their mountains of trunks on the dock, whence they were transferred to the steamer by the expeditious baggagemen.

Carriages in numbers with bevies of expectant tourists Boon began to arrive in great crowds. Shortly before ton o'clook, several vohicleB brought Mr. Secretary of Slate John Bigelow, who is accompanying him on his tour abroad and the rolativoa of both gentlomon. The ex Governor aud company alighted in a moment and procoeded on board the magnificent vessel. Thoy found on tho deck a number of friends awaiting their arrival.

By special request of Mr. Tilden there wbb no demonstration of any kind, except a hearty shako of the baud of THE MAN WHO WAS ELECTED President of the United States and a deal of congratulation over tho pleasant weather which is promised for the trip and tho bright prospects of a quick paeEage. Mr. waa dreasod in a business suit of a dark, thin, mixed pattern, and woro a light high hat, with a black mourning band. He has not looked bo woll for many months os he did to day.

His complexion was clear, his eyo bright and his voice as flexible and puro as ever. Mr. Tilden Boomed in excellent spiritB and conversed with animation among the parties of hia frlonds who crowded tho deck. Among those who assembled to bid adiou to tho ox Governor and Secretary of State were: Mayor Smith Ely, James A. Mo Lean, Counsel to tbo Police Board Smith M.

Weed, Mrs, Weed and Miss Weed, Hon. David Dudley Field, Hiram Calkins, Mosea N. Tilden and Henry A. Tilden, brothers of the Governor Col. W.

The time botweon ten and eleven o'clock was occupied by tboso ou board In bidding farewell. Mr. Tilden for a tlmo received his friends in the small cabin, but It became bo crowded with handshakers that it was necessary to seek tho dock, whore the frlonds had a full opportunity for congratulation and an interchange of farewells. Mr. Tilden, in his manner of quiet dignity, roceivod his friends with an open hand and gratified each ono with a few pleasant words.

A great number of petaona not of tho party shook hands with Mr. Tilden and expressed their admiration and affection for falm. A TALK WITH MR. TTLDEN. A reporter of the Eagle shook hands with Mr.

Tilden, who treated him with greatest consideration. Tlie ex Goveruor was surrounded by friends anxious to apeak with him, but kindly engaged in tho appendod conversation "Tho publio aro no doubt familiar with the reason of your trip abroad said tbo reporter. "I suppose so," was tho reply. "I intend to go where I can got a little rent and recreation. That la something that I cannot got on this side of tha water at presont." Have not your groat labors wearied you?" "For two years and one half I have not had a single day that I could call my own.

I havo bocomo rather weary with my loboie. I am not surprised that I feol the need of rest. Are you?" The roportor replied In tho negative, and told Mr, Tilden that ho was surprised that any man could endure tho tremendous mental strain to whicn ho had been subjected. The reporter then asked Mr. Tilden, in what direction his tour abroad would extend "I have hardly concluded whore to go yet.

It is my desire to travel as quietly as possible with my friend Mr. Biijotow. Ho is a flrstrato companion, and having often been abroad, is vory familiar with the European routes. I think we shall visit tho chief places of interest in England, Ireland and Scotland, and spend some timo on tbo Continent. I havo been abroad before and will find pleasure in revisiting several places iu the Old World." "What do you think of THE POLITICAL SITUATION asked the 'reporter.

Isn't it most too warm to talk politics," was tho reply. Beside, this is not tho season for that. Tho condition of our affairs is well understcod. They need" no Instruction upon the subject at present. Thoy know as woll as a thing can bo known that a gros3 wrong has boon Inflicted upon thorn, and that for once they have suffered the perpetration of a monumental crime, which has deprived them oi their rights, I belicvo that tho wise interposition of Divine Providence which has so often boen extended In behalf of our country will bo repeated.

In the future tho American people will boo to it that tbe wrong of the past is not again inflicted. There is no doubt of tho ultimate triumph of right foundod upon justice and BUBtalned by our millions of liberty loving citizens. Tho people can bu relied upon to punish the perpetrators of tho outrage upon their Constitution and thoir country. "What do you think of the PE08PE0TS OP THE DEMOOBATIO PARTY "They are splendid. Never before woro they so brilliant.

The American peoplo were never 60 enthusiastic, persistent and determined in anything as thoy aro in their intention to right tho wrong upon tho right of elective franchise The tide of victory is already rising. It will bo Boon in the Fall elections, but they will be only a step in the great fight which is to be made throe years later. In that fight the triumph is already assured. Tho issue is plain and no man will mistake it." "What do you think of the prosecution of the Louisiana Returning Board "I don't know as I should say anything about that, for their friends seem to havo an idea that I am at the bottom of it. They wero never more mistaken.

Those peoplo in Louisiana havo done very well in the proseoution. If there ib no outside interference of any kind it will bo conducive to a fair trial, and that can be had, justice will take Its course." "What of tho Southern Democracy. Do you anticipate any obliteration to party lines in that section as a result of Hayes' Southern policy "Nono whatever. Tho Democracy will staud as Arm as they have always done, Thoy havo withstood defeat, ondured wrong unparalleled, and it la not now likely that they can bo bribed to forsako their standard. The efforts of their enemies to win thorn over will havo no effect upon them." What in your opinion is to bo THE FUTURE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY "It has no future.

Its career for a few years will be marked by defeat and disaster and In 1830 tho organization, or what remains of it, will bo complotoly dis troysd and overthrown." Continuing the conversation Mr. Tilden said it was doubtful whether ho would return in time to participate actively In the Fall campaign as he felt great need of rest, although be was in oxccliont health at present. Iu concluding tho conversation Mr. Tilden desired the reporter to convey his highest regards to tho Editor of the Eagle. Said he "I consider the Eagle one of tho most readable newspapers published in the United States.

It was one of my most powerful and disinterested allies In the fight for the Presidency, as tho result in Kings County bears evidence. Its political editorials aro among tho best which appear in the American press." After conversing with the Eaglk reporter Mr. Tilden continued his hand shaking. His friends formed in an immense crowd around him. An enthusiastic young lady fastened a large red rose on the lappel of his coat and then kissed "Uncle Sam" heartily on the lips, which made him blush liko a girl.

Soon the big boll rang "all ashore" and the party of friends began to retire. As they passed down tbe gangway they again bade farewell to Governor Tilden. "Good by andJGod bless you," was the farewell of a big burly Domocrat as he clasped hands with tbe paHy leader. Mrs. Bigelow In saying "goodby," cautioned Mr.

Tilden to tako good caro of her husband, "for," aaid she, "be is the only one I havo and I don't want another." As the big iron steamer swung out from the pier tho Govornor stood near the rail with Mr. Bigelow by hia Bide. There waB a great waving of handkerchiefs by the ladies on board and ashore. The great crowd on tho dock gave three hearty cheers for the rightful President of the States and repoatod it until the ship was steaming down the bay. Several beautiful floral gifts wore presented to Mr.

Tilden by the ladies. LOTOS CLUB EXCURSION. The members of the Lotos Club, a social South Brooklyn organization, went on their annual ex I curslon this morning to Spring Hill Grove.

141 Atiantio avenue. M. BROPI1Y. ASSOCIATION. The annual picnic of the Michael E.

Bro phy Association takes place at Sohuetzen Park next Annual Tour of the County Buildings by Supervisors. Tho Lunatic Asylum Clean and Orderly but Infested With Rats Dr. Blancliard and tho Steward Examined Paid Patients and What They Owe. The law requires that tho County Buildings at Flatbush, under tho management of tho Commissioners of Charities, should be annually inspected by the Board of Supervisors or a commlttoe of that body properly delegated for tho purpose, and tho results laid before the Governor of tho State iu a report. The Supplies Committee of tho Board of Supervisors are empowered to make the inspection for tho prosent year, and yesterday began their work.

The entire day from 10 o'clock In tho morning until 7 In tho ovening was devoted to the task of INSPECTING THE LUNATIC ASYLUM. Those who have not seen this institution havo no idea of ilB dimensions. Certainly, it is ono of, if not tha largest iu tho State. It is a good day's work lo see carefully all its parts and become familiar to a cortain ox tent with its inmates. Tho Committeo began the inspection by first visiting tho female department which consumed tbo morning hours.

The Superintendent, Dr. Blancliard, accompanied the Committee and explained to them as thoy went auch matters of detail aa uoedod explanation, in ordor that thoy might do their work thoroughly. Eaoh and every hall was visited, a glance taken at tho sleoping rooms and dormitories, and, indeed scarcely a corner escaped scrutiny. As usual tho halki ami every portion of tho building woro scrupulously clean and orderly. Nothing moro in this respect could be do sirod.

A bad odor, however, was noticeable In passing through aomo of tbe lower balls, which tho Committeo wero informed proceodod from doad rats coucoalod under tho flooring or in plaeos where thoy could not bo got at, with ease. Tho building seems to bo INFESTED WITH RATS bidding deflanco to the thirty or forty cats and other enemies that have beon providod for their destruction and living on in tbo full onjoyment ot plenty and unrestricted liberly until old ago or a doso of poison terminates their existence. Quite recently, as tho physician has Btated lator on, two or throe barrels of dead rats which had beon poisoned, wero unearthed. This mode of getting rid of this horriblo nuisance is obviously objoctionable, for the poisoned animals dio in places undor tho flooring and olsewhero which are out of sight and not easily ac cessible and their demise is known only whon tho. emell from thoir decayed bodies begins to permeate and corrupt tho atmosphere.

Tho cats aro Bald to be indifforout to killiDg the vonuin because thoy are loo woll fed from tho kitchon and therefore aro not compelled by hunor to seek for auch gamo aB rats. Tho hunting requires altogether too much exertion and they seem to have made their minds as far as their neighbors, tho rats, aro conoornod, to observe neutrality, acting upon tho principle to live and lot live. It must bo a delightful sensation to hear the brigodca marching at night through the halts to tho banquets prepared for them, expecting momentarily that some gay troop of cavaliers returning homoward may tako a fanoy to make of yoar bed a dancing platform, or mistako your head for a head of cabbago or a bam. These rats are said to bo vory destructive ot ololhlng at times, and carry on their raids agalnat county property without fear of Investigating committees, Thoy refuse to testify, thinking that tho Supervisors aro a paok of busy bodies and possessed of no authority to disturb people, as has boen their custom for Borno time. ThlB is mnltor which tho taxpayer Young should seriously ponder over In order to soe that tho destructive and rascally rats aro exterminated.

Perhaps it might bo suggested iu answer that thoy ought to bo allowod to go on, multiply and prosper, if there were any likelihood of their ovontually walking off with the building itself and thoreby freeing the publio of any urthor troublo in reference to it. If it cannot be reasonably hoped that they will show cvon this small share of gratitude to the taxpayers, vigorous war should be oponed upuu them at onco and the placo cleared of thoir presence Rat Bkius are supposed to bo good for glovos. Might not the county make a profitable contract with somo enterprising glove maker for tho oxcluBivo right to this most excellent hunting ground? But tho dead rats ore not tho solo cause of the otTou Bivo smell that occasionally disturbod the Committee iu passing through tho lower halls gases escaping from the sower or where onoo stood a water cIoboI aocounted for it in part. On tho whole, THE FEMALE DEPARTMENT" appeared to be lu a satisfactory condition, tho halls, aa rule, not being so overcrowdod with beds aa on a former occasion. A groat want of tho institution is a proper classification of patients, which, it seems, is not attainable in a building so crowdod aud deficient iu many other rospects.

Tho very violent patient is thrown into tho same hall with tho mild or convalescent, and tho latter is compollod to witness and perhaps at times feel tho wrath of the frantic maniac. Tho samo remarks apply to the oondltion ot things in THE MALE DEPARTMENT. Some strange characters wero mot with here whoso antics seemed to amuse considerably tho members of tho Committee. After the entire building, from top to bottom, and tbo old asylum, which is known aa tho lodge, wero carefully inspected, the Committeo proceoJed to oxamluo tho Ulcers. DR.

BLANOHARD EXAMINED. Dr. Blancliard said in substance to the Committeo that there wero in tbo institution G30 patients of whom soventy Bix woro olassod as "paid" pationts. To tako caro of them thore were twenty four male nurses and thirly two lemalo nurses, (which allowed two uuiecb for every hall and with about twenty five patients on an average in each). He was appointod Medical Superintendent of tho inatltutioa ou tho 10th of August, 1874.

At that time ho was glvon two assistant physicians, ouo of whom was afterward discharged bocause thero was no money to pay his salary. He believed that tho institution to bo properly attended to should have the Borvlcea of a Superintendent and four 0S6j8taut physicians, To Sup. Byrne Ho asked for mora assistance than he had at prosent, but the Commlsslouera stated that ho could not got it because thero waa a want of money. Ho appointed and discharged nurses and attendants. The officers were appointed and discharged by tho Commissioners.

There ought to be moro physiciana and nurses, and greater liberality shown in furnishing supplies In order to improvo tho institution. To Sup. Nathan Tho steward gives out tho supplies and keeps record. To 8up. Byrne The percentage of rocovory last year waa grealor than in any other Institution.

Dr. St irra was when he said tho percentage was less. Ho errod iu calculating on tho basla of Iho outlro number in the Asylum instead of upon tho numbor of admissions during the year, as is tho method of calculation lu all institutions. It not bo fair io take into account the entire number of patiootB in tho institution to Ret at tho ratio of recoveries, for many of them are chronic cases which have accumulated during twenty years and more. Moreover, many of the now cases are boyond recovery whon brought here.

La year 36 per ceut. of tbo number of persons admitted wero discharged recovered. I make requisitions for provisions wcokly on tho Commissioners, who have honored them as far ob thoy woro able. PAID PATIENTS. I think to have paid patients, namely, those who aro boarders, is objectionable whero thoy cannot be kept entirely separated from tho paupor patients.

Hero wo caunot aeparato thorn. The paid pationts receive better food than tho others, and that's all, for wbich thoy are charged $5 a week or 20 a month. There are quite a number of them iu arrears for board bills for soveral years. I have made out a list of this indebtedness at various times and handed it to th clerk of the Commissioner who Is treasurer. It is his duty to collect the bills, If posslblo; on tho last list I made out there was one itoui alono against a pa tiont for board amounting fo that covered a Berlea of years I supposo that the outlro Indebtedness accumulating for twenty yoars must bo betwoen twenty or thirty thousand dollars much of it is not collectable, as the parties havo no property when a patient brought out I try to asoertain whether ho or sho is possessed of proporty against wbich board can bo charged most of tho board money Ib paid hero and I hand it over to tho Treasurer of tho Commission, who gives mc a receipt if the patient has means I olwaya charge $20 a mouth if that amount cannot be paid, the parties must apply to the Commissioners I havo no authority to take less I have objected to receiving patients who woro not residents of this couuty wo keep a history of the but not a record of tho prescriptions given or tho tnelical treatment; wo send daily to tho Secretary of tho Board of Commissioners a list containing the namos of all patiouts in tho building; a majority of paid patients pay thoir board bills to have them at all is unpleasant and objectionable because it creates a Jealousy and a good deal of feeling I do not cut a patient in arrears off the list of boarders until I am ordered by tho Commissioners, because I am not able to say whether the party has means or not to pay board that is a matter for the Commissioners to determine.

To Sup. Williamson Some of the paid pationts will prefer to stay in doors rather than mingle with the pauper patients. But these are exceptional caees. Wo havo no separate place for patients they beoomo affected with somo disease. To Sup Byrne I never knew of a patient being bitten by rats.

Tho building, however, is Infested with them. Dr. Blanohard was shown an anonymous communication, published in the Union Argus, which reflected on tbe moral character of the nurses. He did not believe tho charges were true. The women, in his ju lc mcnt, were of a different class, and would not bo guilty of the improprieties hinted at in the communication.

Sup. Byrne doprecated such communications as scandalous aad outrageous. It was a groBs ontrago that bard working womea should be liable to bo as Baiioci and doubts thrown upon their characters by persons who would not give their names. Mr. 8eott, the Bteward, who at first rofuscd to bo sworn unless some one of the Commissioners was present, made a statement concerning the duties of his office, to tho truth of wbich he afterward subscribed under oath.

Mr, Scott'a books were not writton up to doto, which he explained on tbo grounds that he had beon feoltng unwell and was obliged alio to wait for bills from tbe storehouse. He inherited his presont system of bookkeeping nine years ago. Ho mado reports to tho Com mlssionerB. ThtjCommlttce adjourned lo meet at the Asylum th'a morning, whora th( will resume tho inspection. The Chairman of the Committee thanked tho Medical Superintendent for the courtesy which he had shown tho Committee during the visit.

A SOCIAL MUDDLE. Contest ot a. Will Involving Allcjfcil 11 IlKitlmucy, a Divorce ana Two Suicides. The hearing in the probate of the will of J. Henry Steinmaker, of Boerum street, E.

D.t was sot down for this morning before Surrogate Dailoy, but was postponed to await the arrival of important witnesses from Germany. The history Involved in this case Is a very remarkable ono and has all the elements of a romance and a tragedy. J. Henry Stefnmoker, the principal actor therein, first attracted publio notice a few years ago when he waa defendant in a suit brought by his wife for absolute divorce. A decree was granted In the wife's favor, and to her was given the custody of the only child by the marriage.

Although Mr. Steinmaker waB prohibited by the decree from marrying again, he aftor ward consoled himself with another wife. On the 21st of May last MrB. Steinmaker poiBoned herself. The next day Mr.

Steinmaker made a will, by wbich bo left all hia property, estimated at $20,000, to a son by a BrBt wife. The next day, May 23, Mr. Steinmaker shot himself dead. The will is contested by Henry Steinmaker, son of tho wife who obtained a divorce from the Tho grounds on which it Ib contested are First, that tho testator was Insane at the timo that be made the will, and secondly, that he was never married to the mothor of the devisee. It Is said that many years ago Steinmaker lived with a woman in Germany to whom he was never legally Joined In wedlock, and that she was tha mother of the young man to whom Steinmaker has left his estate.

It is not known as yet what became of the woman referred to, but the witnesses who are coming from Germany are expected to throw light on the subject. As there were no children by tbe lost wife, who committed suicide, It Is claimed that Henry Stem maker, son of the second wife, Is tbe only lawful offspring. Mr. Edwin O. 8ch offer appears for the contestants, and Mr.

Jotenn CtatBun, far the proponents. A Woman Killed and Ifcr Husband Dying. Teoplo SfrucJf by Llfflitniii Building's Burned and Crops Destroyed. Tho storm of yesterday afternoon was ro markablo in many particulars. Ou tho oaBt ond of Long If land there was but a liyht fall of rain, unaccompanied by eithor tbuudr or lightning.

FurtJor wost, however, the rain fell In torrents, beginning at Farnilngdale. Iu tho vicinity oi Jamaica tbe storm was attended with fatal results. Tbo wind blow a perfect hurricane, and the thunder and lightning was so severe that peoplo became alarmoJ, and Bought places ofsrfoty.

It struck hiiu in tho napo of tho neck, and rau down tho spinal column, Imruing tbo llosh eo badly tiiat the ekiu all peeled off.

She was killed inslautly. At Jamaica South, bouio men who were cradling and binding wheat on tho farm of Isaac Romseu, took refugo from (ho storm in a largo barn. Tho building was struck and set on lire and burnod with all its cm tents of hay, grain, farming utensils and a pair of horses. Adam Sohtuallenl.org, one of tho workmen, was struck in the Ihlgh by tho current and renderoi uuconscioiiR.

Laughing. This looks like A BARGAIN betwoen you and the General. The General puts in a Republican In tho place of a Domocrat, and you put in a Democrat in the placo of a Democrat. President Slocum I havo declared hero that I would try to run this office without roferonco to a man's politics. I selected a Republican who has been in office, who is universally commended for the way in which be performed his duties, and I want to conpmoo the peoplo that I am sincero.

Com. Flaherty said he had no doubt that Mr. Probasco was a very competent civil engineer. Com. Adams explained that Mr.

Probasco was now ongaged in preparing a plan for the house In which the now cngino at the pumping statiou was to be placed. Com. Flaherty That is vory different from being a competent ongineor. Any good carpenter could do that. Com.

Adams said that Mr. Probasco had made some suggestions with regard to the pumping woll which had saved tho city thousand of dollars. WHAT THEY PAY FOIL Com. Flaherty considered that sucn men as ho was were employed for that purpose to make suggestions. That was what ho was paid for.

AN OFFICIAL VISIT. President Slocum and Commissioner Flaherty visited tho pipe and repair yards yesterday. Commissioner Adams asked thorn thlB morning if thoy found things in good order there.

Slocum replied: "We did quite satisfactory." Commissioner Adams romarked that affairs wero different now from what they were formerly. CHANGES IN THE BOAKD OF HEALTn. The Board of Health will moot to morrow and probably make some important changes among the subordinates. It has boon generally believed among the politicians for some ttme past that the Board Intended to remoyo all the Democratic employes end appoint Republicans In their places. This oploion has been greatly strengthened since City Clerk Bishop removed tho eix Republicans in hiB office and gave tneir places to Democrats, aud to day It waB given out that the Board of Health would retaliate to morrow by discharging the Democrats now employed there.

These Democrats are Dr. Stuart, Registrar of Vital Statistics Mr. La Fetra, the Secretary of the Board Dr. Bayllsa, an inspector, and a clerk appointed at tho request of 'Alderman Donovan. It is not certain that all of these gentlemen wid be rcmovod, but that great efforts are being mado to oust them is well known in political circles and to the officers themselves.

There is a sharp contest for THE BECBETABYSHTP progrosBing. Tho frtende of Mr. LaFetra are working hard for his retention, and it is understood that President Ray, of tho Board of Aldermen, who is an ex rficio member of the Board of Health, is very kindly disponed toward him. General Jourdan has a candidate in the person of Colonel E. L.

Longford, who formerly held the position. Health Officer Crane holds the balance of power. As far as is known he has no candidate for the place, preferring to leave that matter entirely to the politicians of the Board. Although tho ability and experience of Dr. Stuart are not questioned, the working Republicans want bis place for one of their kind, and are insisting upon his removal.

Dr. James Watt, who once held the position, is most prominently spoken of in connection with the appointment. Watt is favored by Jourdao. Dr. Crane has not indicated a choice, but is understood to have a candidate.

The position of Dr. Baylies will be given to one of the faithful of the party. Alderman Donovan's man Is not likely to bo disturbed. He will not be lt Alderman Ray can help it. Ray was elected President of the Board of Aldei men by Donovan's vote, and he cannot easily forget bo great a favor.

A very TMPOBTANT STEP to be taken by tho Board will be the appointment of a Sanitary Superintendent. This was formerly one of the positions undor the Board. It was held last by Dr. B. A.

Segur, who retired in 1875 or thereabout, since which tlmo the duties havo been Imposed upon the Secretary of the Board. It is claimed that a necessity has arisen for the rc establishment of the office from the fact that physicians throughout the city are averse to transacting business connected with the department with the Secretary of Iho Board a layman. Dr. Crane, therefore, Is In favor of a return to the old system and has a candidate for the place, Dr. Raymond, who is one of the inspectors of the department.

The duties are said to be arduous and responsible. Under the system to be re oatabHabod, the Inspectors will bo responsible to the Superintendent aud the Superintendent to toe Coard. James Clyne, John Davles and Tunis G. Bergen. Tbe meetiug was called for half past seven, but it was some lime after that boforo tho meeting was called to order.

Mr. Martyn, tho teacher of tho school, wbb present, and was allowed to make a statement in roferonco to the alleged cruelties to the children. mb. huntley's defense. Aftor the Committee was called to order, and boforo the regular business commenced, Mr.

Huntley aroso to a question of privilogo. He said ho desired to mako a statement in defense of himself, and io roply to tho allegations made in tho Eattcrn. District Times, Ho said that iu the report of tho investigations by the Com mitteo, reported in that journal, he bad seen a statement to tbe effect that during au executive EesBion of tho committeo be (Mr. Huntloy) had uphold and defended tho severe and brutal treatment of tho ohildrou by the teachers of the school, and bad ondoavorcd to got the committee to uphold him. This Mr.

Huntley said bad been done to cast a reflection upon him. Ho had called at the office of tho journal In quoatlon and bad asked that tbo paper publish a correction and denial of tho statement, but the editor had refused to do so, Mr. Huntley then appealed to each of too members of tho committeo to know whether he had expressed in tho soisiou refcired to any Bontiments aB thoBe attributed to him. All tho members gave an answer in the negative. HARD LANGUAGE.

Mr. Huntley spoke with considerable earnestness and feeling, and concluded with theso words "And yet, Buch is the degeneracy of the ago that tho. lying, eavesdropping pimp who told the story is called a reporter; the suoak who refused to corroct it is called an editor, aud the dirty scum into which both pour their filth is callod a newspaper." Tho Committee then proceeded with the business of the investigation. Mr. Bergen and Mr.

Colo said thoy had visited the Home during the day, but they had uothiug new to report in regard to it. Dr. Schapps, the Chairman, said that when the Board first began to send truant childron to tho Homo, ho visited the institution and found there as teaohers Mr. Martyn and a larly. Mr.

Clark, tbo Superintendent, had given Mr. Jlartyn tho highest rocommondation as a teacher and Instructor, and os a man who thoroughly undoi stood hiB dutios, Dr. Schapps Bald, however, that ho soon gained tho impression that Mr. Martyn was very severe, but he could net got hold of any facto until the rocent complaints of baibarity wero mado. Tho Superintendent would give no information as to the amount of whipping that was allowed.

Mr. Martyn had beon Instructed by the speaker to conduct tho Bohool as If It were a public school. Mr, Bergen said bo understood that out of the seven boys wno had escaped from the inst; union, two of thorn bad been severely beaten, and that waa the reason lor tholr making their escape. THE TEACHER'S STATEMENT. Mr.

Martyn, tho toaoher of tho Truant Homo, who was present, was then called before the Committee and requested to Btato what he knew about the matter, and in answer to tho queBtiouB of the members, ho mado tbe following atatcnicnt in answer to tho charges made against him: To Dr. Sohapps My namo la Eugene Martyn I gave no water at night to tho ohildren in the dormitory, because it was against the rulcB; I havo been employed for seven and a half years as a teacher in tho Home I was educated in Ireland; I landed in this country 1850; tho rule a.p$ to give water in tho dormitory at night was made by Mr. DomaroBt, tho former Superintendent, and I adhered to it; the water was given to tbe boys during the day, at their meals, lu a pint cup; tho total allowanoo to eaoh boy waa two quarts; tho boys never had salt food In the morning; lama subordinate and acted undor orders; I never know of boys going for drinking water to the supply pipo of tho water closel; Mr. Demarest, tbo former Superintendent, and Mr. Clark, tho present one, told mo to whip the boys moderately when it was necessary I do not think the piuiishmont Inflicted by mo would produce the marks as represented, but it might produco black marks on the night of tho 27th of June I was awakenod by somo one moving in the dormitory I could not soo who it was as it was dark, and I was half BBlcep at the time I sprang out of bed and whippod him with a hickory stick, about tbroo oighths of an inch thick I saw him rifling my pants I think it would havo beon bolter hud I CONTROLLED MY TEMPER tho boy waa about twolvo years old if I inflicted such severe bruises as represented I am very sorry for It I think tho offense was a vory serious one, for had tbo boy got tho ys he could have lot out all tho other boye in tho institution; sometimes I whip three or four boys iu a single day, and then tor several days I whip nono I always (ell a boy tho offense for which ho ia whipped, Sua I always whip in public it is not a fact that vermin were on tho boys Mr.

Clark know of Iho boy being whippod In tho dormitory aud mado no remark about it tho rod was the one I always used in school, Mr. Cole Would you give a boy water on a night liko this If ho should ask lor it 1 A. I would not there was no wator there and I would not get out of bod to get it I could not break the rules. Q. Aro you governed by tho dictates of humanity 1 A.

I will not answer whether 1 am or not; I feel that I have no authority to give water; I think two quarts enough for auy boy in ono day. TITE DORMITORY SCENE. I Buppose tho boy in the dormitory must havo made a good deal of noise; 1 saw him with his bauds on my 1 commouced whipping him as he got into bed because I feared that if he got into bed I would not bo able to recognize him; I whip a vory small percentago of the boys, and I do not ronitmber whipping a boy because ho told his mother that I had whippod anothor boy severely; sometimes in Mr. Domarest's time I whipped boys in bed for fighting; I never found tho boy Smallfield particularly ba if a boy misses iu auy lessons four days in succession I whip him. and whip all alike; I sumetimee whip on the hand, but more generally on tbo logs.

Mr. Bcrgou then inquired whether Mr. Martyn drank aplrits? A. I rcluso to answer; I drink if I like; I do not it in my room, aud I do not drtuk It on tho premises; I was born on tho 23th of August, 1831, aud came to this cDiintj in 1351); I om an apothecary by trade; 1 returned to Ireland in 1830, and was a hospital Bteward there for two years; I then returned to this country, where 1 havo remained over since; I was educated iu a private academy in Ireland; the only punishment there w.ts by a rod or a leather strap: whon I got up in the night in the dormitory I Beizod tho switch, which was under the bod; I never oarry a cane. Mr.

Cole Who takes your plaoo when you aro absent? A. When I am not iu charge of the dormitory the watchman is; I do not know that he had water carried up; I gave him' the sumo instructions I had received myself; since this investigation began ho told me he had carried water to the other floor; Mr. Ingcll, tho other teaoher, carried wator to tho other dormitory, that he might make a point against me, that he may gain favor with this Board and get my plaoe, which has a larger salary than his, Q. How do you know thnt? A. I do not wish to answer how I know that, this Investigation was to tako place, Dr.

Schapps prooured about ono third books for tho school, and told mo to conduct tbo school as a country school, as it could not be graded. Dr. Scbapps told me verbally that I would be discharged from the employ of the Common Council and would bo reappointed by the Board of Education, at a salary lower by $100; I got $300 from the Common Council; I get $300 from the Board of Educatioo; I do not understand how thts change happened, as I am paid now through tho Common Council; Dr. Sohapps ondorsed the laat pay roll; Dr. Schapps gave me no instructions aa to punishing tho boys; I thought the Board of Education took no Interest In tho Truant Home; I waited for the whole Board to come up, by that I mean tho same as tho Common Council the Committee.

Mr. Colo Did tho Board of Aldermen come to see you in earriao.es with a band of music at their bead? A. I do not know whether they came in cairiagos or cars; I deny that I ever treated Dr. Schapps with disrespect, or tuat I repudiated tho authority of the Board of Education vested in him; tbo questions I refused to answer were out of respect to myself and not out of disrespect to tho Committee. Martyn wi then told to Btate frankly anything ho desired to say, and in answer said: I tbluk there is a conspiracy to got mo out of ray place.

Thero is a very smart man up there who wauta my place. I think the Committee should have given me written or printed rules for my government. Dr. Schapps here stated that by a country school, ho meant an ungraded school. Mr.

Bergen Do you over ward a boy for goo3 conduct? A. I gave rewards to the boys by putting their names on the praiso board; fur good conduct I gavo more privileges, such as playing around the yard; I do dot think much of the rewards of merit given by Dr. Schopps; tho boys often get money as rowards from tho Aldermen fur good bohavior and learning lessons woll. Dr. Sohapps here stated that ho had no idea that tbo discipline was as it had been shown to bo.

Ho took Mr. Martyn to bo a juat man, and therefore gave him no Implicit directions in regard to punishment. For instance, ho never told him not to murder a boy. Mr. Martin I have not teachers enough to oarry out the discipline used in the publio echoole; I think two teachers enough for the 100 boys In the institution; Mr.

Ingell has not promoted a boy into my class sinco he came; I think he does not promote, but retains hie boys because bo has a special reason therefor; I am suspicious of Mr. Ingell, and I think he is a very suspicious man himself; ho eats at tho tablo with mo, and I was never forbidden to come there; I remember Dr. Scbapps protesting against the punishment of Smallfield and Hallett, after it nad taken place I do not think I could control the boys without whipping I am sirryfor having whippod tho boys, both for its results to them and to myself; if this Committee told mo to tako water to the boys at night 1 would have to acquaint tho Superintendent, as I consider myself under orders, aud I think ho would allow it; tbe present condition of affairs I take to bo this: The Board of Education has control of the BChoo), and outside of it the Common Council haa control; I report to the Superintendent every morning, and he and I talk over the affairs of the institution then I do not whip boys for not taking medicine. Mr. Huntley Who are the conspirators against you? A.

I think Ingell wants my place. Q. Who is tho other conspirator 1 Is it Dr. Sohapps 1 A. I will not answer; if the Coinmittoe diroctod mo to give the boys wator at nlsht 1 would ask tho Superintendent, and if he told me not to do so I would nut givo it.

This ended tho testimony for the evening, and Mr. Martyn remained until the end of tho sitting. Mr. Cole moved that the Committee report lo tho Board that in thoir judgment it is best to decline to have anything to do with the management of the Truant Home in the future, unless tho absolute control thereof was vested in the Board of Education. Tho senso of the Committee was opposed to the motion, and it was argued that the Board w.

uld then bo sending children to a place ovor which they had not even partial control. The motion waa lost, and the Committee adjourned until this ovening, when tho Superintendent, and the two teachers were requested lo meet them. "TROUBLE AT GREEK To the Editor of the Brooklyn Ewile In the edition of the Eaqle of July 7 an articls appeared under the above capticn, rcflocting very severely and unjustly upon the hackmen ac the gato of Greenwood Cemetery. It is with reluctance that we have deigned to notice it, and do so only at this late date that it may not be assumed that "silence gives aa3eut," We aro also opposed to ventilating personal grievances before the pubhe, who, in fact, tako no interest in them, but viho always have and alwayB will patronize those who aorvo them beat, the best evidence of which IB the continued and undiminished patronage of tho hackmen, notwithstanding the repeated attacks upon us by Messrs. Fritschler Sella, tho proprietors of the carryalls.

Those who read the article referred to must have been greatly amused at the frivolous charges and childish complaints made by Messrs. F. If there Is any one of them worthy of any notice It is that charging tho hackmen with abusing all who attempt to enter tbe oirryalla. The beat refutation of that is in the fact that tbey appealed to Hack Inspector Jones, who upon an investigation found no occasion to Interfere in the matter. As for tho charge of impoBing on strangers by charging exorbitantly, and getting them ont in the quickest possible time, It is most likely, was the case when Mjr.

Fritschler was hackman himself, out since he has left the stand we know of no such complaints. But enough of Messrs. F. and 8., and tbelr tribulations, wo will let them go for what they are worth, and avail ourselves of the opportunity kindly offered ub by the taqlx, to flay a few words for ourselves, that the pablio may rightly understand and appreciate our position. This carryall system was inaugurated for the aggrandizement of certain parties, who aim tomonopo lifie the whole business of hacking at GreeDwooti, thereby depriving us of oar business and consequently of our living.

"The carryall system after all has not reduoed the fares materially, it simply affords accommodation to persons who are alone and do not wish to incur tho ex; penso of a carriage, but where there Is a party of two or Utroe they invariably prefer to ride by themielvee. The times, more than any thing else, bos tended to reduce the fares and we aro prepared to accept the situation.

How tbe Bridge was Itepaired Under iho Supervision of a Joiut Committee of the Supervisors of tho Counties of Kings and Queens A Double Headed Arrangement. Supervisor Clark's Side of the Case.

The Special Committeo appointed by tho Board of SuporviBOrs to investigate tho, charges mado agaluBt Supervisor Stophou Clark, of the Seventeenth Ward, in relation to alleged extravaganco and corruption in repairs to tho Hunter's Point Bridge, mot this morning in tho Supervisors' room. It consisted of Sup. McDonald, tho Chairman, and Sup. Pliolpa, Flceman, Van Siclon and Willlnmsou. All tho Committee was present excepting Sup.

Williamson. 'Sup. Clark was present, prepared witu. witnesses. Sup.

Brown was aleo presont. Sup. Clark made a statement. Hia authority In repairing tho bridge grew out of the Joint Committee on Bridges, qunous and Kings County together. These Committees met and got ono Zach Roo, of Fluahing, to drawn up plans, which wore rejected.

Thoy thon re Bolvedto do it by day's work, and selected Mr. of Quoene Couuty, and himself to superintend the work on tho repairs of tho bridge. There wore full meetings of both Committees. Mr. Burroughs employed Mr.

McQitvray and Mr. Clark employed William Lupton to luy out tho work and keep gaug. of men at work. Sup. Clark devised the plan of ropairs himself, and was willing to tako tho responsibility of tho manner in whloh it was dono.

Ho personally supervised tho work wook days and Sunday. The bills eamo beforo tho Joint Commitloo and ihcy wero adjusted by tbo Joint Committeo aud tho several oommitttcos wero instructed to present tiioin to their several Hoards. Sup. Brown presented them to the Kiugs County Board. Tho bills wero long unpaid and tho men wauled their pay, so ho tnovod that tho bills bo taken up and paid.

Tbl9 waa dono. He did this as a favor to the poor rue'i who did the work. He proposed to put parties on tlio stand to sbow how the work was done. Ho considered that ho was charged aa a sub Committee of the Joint Committee having solo charge of tho work as extravagant and corrupt. He proposed to have that investigated.

In regard to employing men, somo of the Supervisors wan to. i to got tboir frlondB in and Mr. McGilvray discharged some men and put others on. Thero seemed thus to be more uieu employed thau there actually was. Ho consldorod his integrity as a publio officer itu puugod.

He did not know who tbe attacking; party but judginx from ouo of the articles in tho Eaole iho attack uiuBt havo boen prompted by some one who waa acquainted with the work. Sup. riOL man did not know that tboro was any ono charnms malfeaaancj, and all tliero tvaB lo do was to lieir'Sup. C'IbS'b wiJuesW. Sup.

Clark paid ho was suspicions that Sup. Brown gave tlio sitgijestioofi to tho party who prepared thu ar ticlo in tbe Kaole. It was only a suspicion however. Sup. MoDonald thought they might take tlio toall mony of any ono who thougnt too ninny men bad been employed and at too great rates.

Sup. Brown wilted lo know whether ho was going to bo brought iuto tho matter an the allowed urce of iho article. If bo ho proposed tn as well pr paro f.ir action us Sup. Clark. Hup.

dark had made tiui remark charging It on him betoro tho Uomndtle and i.lj. Sup. Clark II you deny It that in the of it. Sup. Brown I do no such thing.

Don't you pot wordi lu my mouth. II the Comniluoe decldu that tlio BriJgo Committee had no authority to uppm parties to repair the Bridge, and that tho Supervisor of Iho Sevontoauth hail exclusive coutrol ovor it that loll him out eutirely. Sup. Clarl; Are you tbe proseculiug party? If bo, say so. Otherwise I object to your remarks.

Sup. McDonald thought that if Hup. Clark testified that tho Bridge Committee iu fact did appoint him aud Mr. Burroughs anil audit the bills, it would afford a basis of lovesttgatiou. Sup.

Brown claimed that tho Committeo had no powor, aud r.vcn if they had tbey did nothing iu rogani to Iho work. If tho Dririgo Counnitieo hr.d authority thoy should bo made responsible; if thoy bad no authority then he (Sup. Browu), as Chairman of the Bridge Committee of Klnga Couuty, would liavo no responsibility. If they had no authority then Sup. Clark and Mr.

Burroughs could collect uo bills ugcuutt tho county. Sup. MoDonald said that tho Law Committeo on tho Stli of April reported that they had oxamincd tho law relating to tho charge of tho bridge, and thai the bridge rouiained iu charge of tho Supervisor of tho Seventeenth Ward, and not in ohargo of tho Comuiittoo on Bridges. They aleo offered oresolutlou that the staiiil iok' Committoe on Bridges make and prepare necessary rules and regulations for tbo management, control, caro and repair of tho bridge. On April 215.

Sup. Brown offered a resolution, which was adopted, that the Committee ou Bridges, lu conjunction with the Supervisors of QneouB Codiity, be directod to prepare plans aud specifications for tlio repairs to thu Uuutei'd Point Bridge and to advortiso for proposals. Sup. Clark Well, I mado the repairs. 1 did not think this waa lo bo au avgumont on a quoBtioa of law I mado thorn in good faith.

Sup. MoDonald thought they could not into anything furthur thau the iuvosllifatlon of the uhurgu iu tho Eaole's article that thero was au excessive i ato of wages paid to a greater number of men employed than neceBsary. TESTIMONY OF SUP. CLARK. Sup.

Tho Matthews Light Guard, of over fifty men, from Wheeling, arrived at Martinsburg at 7:30 o'clock this morning, and up to 9 o'clock Btill occupied the cars of the train which brought them in. Thoy are wailing the result of a conference botweon their officers and Attornoy General Whlto, Mr.

Wm. Key3or, Captain T. B. Sharp and other officials as to tlio best courco to pursue. Whatever measures may bo adopted will bo shortly known.

Tlio strikers have made no demonstration thus far to day and aro watching tho course of events, and if an attempt to move any of the traiuB is mado THEY WILL DOUBTLISS BE HEARD FROM.

Tho Morefield Guards, auothor militia company ordered to tho sceno of the difficulty at Martinsburg, had not arrived this morning as was expected. Tho wounded men Paisel and Vaa.iorgrift, who were shot during tho riot yesterday morning, aro both doing very well.

THE MILITARY DEFEATED. Tho Sun publishes a special this morning which gives an aicount oi tho collision at Martinsburg yesterday morn'iig between Captain Faulkner's militia aud tho strikers, as follows Tho militia company was do ployed on both sides of train which was abjut starting, an onginecr and fireman having volunloore to work. As tho train reached the switch, one of the strikers, William Vaudergrifl, seized tae Bwitch ball to run tho train on a Bide track. John Paisai, a member of tlio militia company, jumped from the pilot of the ongiuo and attempted to replace the switch so that the train should go on. Vundcrgriff fired two shots at PuUal, causing a slight flesh wound iu the side of tho head.

Poisal returnod tho fire, shooting Vandergriff through tho hips. Sov eral other shots wero fired at Vandergriff, striking him in the head and arm. When tho firing was heard a very large crowd of railroaders and citizens collectod, and the feeling became iuiense. Tho volunteering engineer and fireman of tho train ran off as soon as tho shooting Captain Taulknor thou mado tho statement that he had performed his duty, and if tho train men deserted their posts he could do nothing more. The militia company was therefore marohed to their armory and iugl jriously disbaudod, leaving tho ri sers In possession of tho field and the road blocked up with standing trains on tho sidings, etc.

Vandergriff is lying in a very dangerous condition in consequence of hia wouuds. One of hlB arms had to be amputated. Privato Poisal, a party to the shooting of Vandergriff, is conductor on a freight train, but is not connected with the siriiio. Tho strikers justify tho shots flrQd at him, on tho ground that ho was overstepping bis duty, as ho bad no orders from Captain Tauikuer to close the switoh. Poisal's injuries aro slight, iter Vandergriff is now ill an oasy condition, and there are hopo3 of bin recovery.
