The Polioe of the Sixth Preoinot have recently been on the alert to detect a rough gang of young fellows frequenting a locality known as Plok erelviUe, In tho Eighteenth Ward, whoso members, styled the "Kettle Gang," have become a terror to the neighborhood. From time to time some of tho gang havo been In custody on charges of assault and other minor offences, but this experience has not deterred case by the The Barkor House ever since that day has been in bad odor, and Its name was Boon changed to that of tha Brooklyn House, but tho change in name and the progress of years worked no benefit for It, and its former respectability never returned. A dozen or more bloody affrays ooourred there since the McLaughlin tragedy, and about ton years, ago one of the tenants, who was engaged lu the manufacture of fireworks, was almost burned to death while making somo experiments.

Tho honso has also been visited by several incendiary fires, but was never burned down, and It stiU remains a landmark in South Brooklyn.

Jeweler ol ganith Street (Sorely Tried. Testimony of a Child Which Established the Gailt of Her Mother Herman Schmidt's Suit for Divorce. Judgment for absolute divorce in favor of the plaintiff was nlod by Counsolor Hugo Hlrah this morning In the Supreme Court of Brooklyn, in tha suit of Herman Schmidt against Eva Schmidt. Tuo facts as testified to on the trial before. Mr.

Edward Heaton, Referee, are of an unusual and startling nature. Tbej reveal in a throofold viow the depravity of human nature, and teach a lesson by which the heads of families may profit. Herman Sohmldt, the plaintiff, was a citizen of Brooklyn until the sad domestic trials to be narrated drove him from the city. He carried on the business of a Jeweler af No. 311 Smith street, and was a well to do, respeotod business man, He had beon married for about a dozen years and had several interesting children.

He had a good business connection, and among bis castomars was Mr. Eumie, ol No. 20 Third place, a perBon of education and moans. Mr. Dumke was a frequent visitor at Mr.

Sohmldt'a store, and a kind of friendship wob established between the mon. Mr. Schmidt was occasionally away from his business, and on returning ho frequently FOUND MR. DUMKE KEEPING HIS WIPE COMPANY. From this circumstanoo and from remarks of tho neighbors, Mr.

Schmidt's suspicions were aroused. Last year his business required his presenoe in Philadelphia, and he was anxious during his absence to provide himself with some safeguard against the invasion of his domestic sanctity. He was a mombor of a lodgo of Odd Fellows, and among his brethren thcio was a Mr. George Gilbert, for whom ha entortainod a sincere rpgard. As a friend and brother he appealed to Mr.

Gilbert In his extremity, and explained to him his suspicions respecting his wlfe'and Mr, Dumke. Mr. Gilbert eiprsssed groat sympathy, and Mr Schmidt asked him to visit the store during his absence in Philadelphia, and note what went on there, Mr. Gilbert promised to do so, and to repart faithfully what ho eaw, more especially with regard to the con duotof Mrs. Schmidt and Mr.

Duink The friends, and brothers grasped bands ou tho pledge, and Mr. Schmidt departed for PniladelpMo. A NEW DISCOVERY. When Mr. Schmidt returned to Brooklyn ho found additional discomfort and sorrow lu store for him.

He was informed, on the inost reliable testimony, that during his absence, Mr. Gilbert had frequently visited tho store as he had promised, but that instead of doing so from motlvoB of friendship and in the spirit of brotherly regard, he had frequented it for selfish and baso purposes. Mr. Schmidt learned tint if Mrs. Schmidt was a guilty woman so far as Mr.

Dum'ce was conoornod before her husband departod for Philadelphia, she was a doubly guilty woman on his roturn, and that through tho agency of tho man who hnd pledged himself to watch over his friend's honor. Mr. Dumke resolved to rid himself of the'woman who had marred the happiness of his life and brought disgrace on his family. With that object in view ho vlBit ed a law firm In this city and made known his troubles Ho was told that the evidence of his wife's ciimo was not so clear as it ought to be and was advised to secure additional and stronger proof of the offenses of which ho behoved hor to be guilty. The firm rocouiuicndod to him Mr.

M. C. Lowden, A PRIVATE DETECTIVE, as a proper and discreet porson to oolleet the nocosssry evidence. Mr. Schmidt called on Mr.

Lowden, and secured bis services. Time passod on, and Mr. Sohmidt was aware that the detective was often around the store in his absence, occupied, howover, as he supposed in making observations, fixing localities and gathering hints and additional facts. By and by the uoighbors began to whisper among themselves, and before long Mr. Schmidt was amazed and thunderstruck on boing Informed that Mr.

Lowden, tho detective, had followed in the footstepB of Mr. Gilbert, the friend and brother, and of Mr. Dumke, the oustoraer and acquaintance. Inquiries placed tho faot beyond a doubt, and Mr. Schmidt consulted Mr.

Hugo Hirsh, of Willoughby strset, as to what steps he ought to take. Mr. Hirsh began a suit for absolute divorce in tho Supremo Court, and duly Berved the Bummons and complaint. THE COMPLAINT ALLEGED tht the defendant had boon oriminally Intimate with Mr. Dumke, ot his residenoe, No.

20 Third ploce, at Coney Island, at a house on Butler street, and at other places. It urthor alleged that defendant had broken her marriago vows with Goorgo Gilbert, of Brooklyn, at the ro3idonce of her husband, and with M. O. Lowden, detective, at tho same place. No answer was put in, On the trial tho prinolpal witness was tho daughter of the plaintiff and defendant, and ber evidonoe was conclusive.

Mr. J. O. Hoarno testified to certain re niarkB mado by defendant whioh left no doubt as to tho illegitimacy of her last ohild. Judgment of divorce has beon granted as already stated, giving plaintiff custody of the children, and adjudging defendant's lost child to bo illogitimato.

THE LIGHTBODY CA8E. 'file Case Adjourned far One Wcek I.tffhtbod 'g Condition i'o daj ISo is Citable to Appear. The case of George Iiiglitbody, who was assaulted on Sunday afternoon, and found on the evening of that day bleeding almost to death In the ink factory No. 139 Furman stroet, came up to day. Ho accused Edwin Longfellow of having assaulted him afterward, at the Long Island College Hospital, he said that bis stepson, Robert H.

Nelson, had beaton him with a club. The full faots of tho oaso wero published in the Eagle of Monday last. Whan Llghtbody was in tho Long Island College Hospital, his wounds wore not dressed, the blood was not washed from his head, and on Monday morning, whon the Eagle reporter called there, there was not a physician who was able to give Captain Crafts a statement as to tha wounded ma Je condition. Llghtbody was allowed to go home on Monday evoninj, and his injuries wore said to bo not serious. Since ho has boon homo, however, ho has been takon worse, and aocording to Captain Crafts' statement is now oonfined to his bed, and was therefore unable to appear In Court this morning.

The Captain states that In addition to tho injurloa about Lightbody's face and head, his body Is oovered with bruises. His wife and stepson insist that ho will not make any oomplalut In oourt. The examination which was to have takon place at noon to day, was therefore adjourned by Justioe Walsh, until eleven o'olock on Thursday morning next. Both the aocused are out on bath COURTS. An Ex Slierilt's Dilemma.

Montague L. Marks got a judgment against Petor Bagloy, who previously had been arrested. Plaintiff issued execution, which was rot ur nod unsatisfied, both as to property and person. Marks sued tbo ex Sberlff of Queens, and he had Bagley arrested and surrendered him to the new Sheriff. This morning a motion was made before Justico Pratt in Special Session of the Supreme Court to discharge Bagley from arrest, on the ground that his detention was illegal.

Justice Pratt said that he had no authority, and granted a writ of habeas corpus and certiorari, returnable on Saturday. For plaintiff, M. L. Marks for defendant, J. H.

Mackey. nenovatlng tbe Court House Wtaou Vacation is over. Yesterday and this morning the carpets throughout tho County Court House were raised for cleaning. Everybody is loud lu expressions of disapproval at tha delay in this matter. During vacation when little or nothing was doing, no step was taken to renovate the rooms, but now when judges are returning and business is beginning to revive, the rooms aro hi a state of disorder and filth.

The Court House Commltteo ara to blame, and deservedly so, for It the person whose business It was to do tbe work was too busy with his family customers, they ought to have got some one else. CLUB OF TEH PROMKIUDE. The annual afternoon and evening parade of Hall's Association, and the Clcb ot Tea of Brooklyn, took place yesterday at Leffert's Park, There was a large attendance of ladies and gentlemen, and the affair passed off in a pleasant and creditable manner. About one hundred and fifty couples danced to the music of Conterno's band. Among the gentlemen present were Judge Hal), of New York, Bra.

Rots, QUfillan aud Stone, of Brooklyn, the Hall brothers, after whom tho club Is named, and many others. The entertainment was In charge of Messrs. George Bnffham, President Thomas Magoveran, Vioe President Wm. Outtenberg, Treasurer; GeorgoB. Lawronoe, Financial Secretary; John T.

A Dig Time on Rockaway Beach Fun and Festivity Sorne Strong Talk. Of the twenty thousand people on Rockaway Beach yestorday, flvo thousand of thom woro far tnors and thoir wivSs and daughters. It was tho ocoa Bion of tho Harvest nomo Festival of Union Qraugo and tho Co oporatlvo Uiiion of Jamaica, two very strong organizations. Thin festival fs always looked forward to with a groat deal of interest, and is tho biggest thing held In Quoons County. It la a refreshing sight to see so many slraplo appearing pooplo enjoying a day's recroation from toil and trouble It Is not half way enjoyment in which thoy Indulge, but a full, froo and hearty participation in evorythiug that Is polite and proper.

Thero was an entire absence of style ami offeotation, and all were as soclablo as it was posBiblo for Ave thousand pooplo to be. Tho ladies lookod be.au tiful iu their plain Summer suits, and it is not often that such a healthful company aro seen together. Thoy wero bricht, Intelligent girls, and whom no stranger would suspect of being tho makers of butter and choe3e. Tho young mou woro out in groat numbers, in fact they outnumbered tho ladles, and all were looking thoir host. It was voted that tho hollo of tho evening was Miss Jonnio Williamson.

Tho ladies votod that Colonel Oukley was tbo handsomest man, and that for a boautiful mustacho, Comm idoro Daroy swept tho deuk. John Fleming slopod when tho ladles began making comparisons. The second floor of the largo sea side ravllion had beon given tho farmers oxclueivoly. Tho roof and girders woro decorated with buutlng, and tho pillars hidden in huge corn stalks. At tho west end of tho room, in front of the musicians' platform waB a fine display of vok otables and fruit.

There were huge water melons and musk melons, cabbages, beets, potatoes, squash, pumpkins, corn, swoot potatoes, etc Nothing superior to this display was over soon at an agricultural fair. Zoigler's full band furnished tho music. Tho peopla began to arrive by tho first train, and every suceoedlna train brought hundreds. During tho morning bathiuu was pretty gonorally Indulged in, and ofter lunch, dancing was tho order. Tha largo floor was crowded tho whole timo.

Tho every day dance was continued on tho floor bolow, and mere peopla sought to onjoy it than oould be accommodated. Tboro was rare good fun and the best of feeling. At three o'clook tho danoing coasod to permit of tho speech making, whioh haB always boon a prominent foature of tho festival. Jamos O. Houdriokson, President of tho Farmors' Union, presided and introduced tho speakers.

Mr. Edward H. Seaman, of Rtdgewood, was the tlrut to bo Introduced. Ho Is a large farmer and dairyman, and a gontloman of oultnro. Ooorga W.

Curtis, a stockbreeder of Illinois, told the people of tho oxtonsive operations In tha Wast in the raising of cattlo and swino for the Eastorn markets, and pointod out tho necessity tor co operation among the farmers. Every industry, whether small or groat, Boomed to have oombined for solf protection or for tho working of injury to others. The Into strikes afforded the best evidonoe of the combinations so general throughout tho country. At tho West tbo farmors had fonnd It neccssaary to combine to protect their (nterosts as against the railroad companies, whi had combinod to fleece them in the matter of freights. Tho farmors thero are almost a unit in business mattors.

In every homlat there Is a grange, and but for this, farming and stock raising would bo as unprofitable thero as in tho East. Thoy saved largely in overythlng thoy purohasod, usually from thirty to sixty by purchasing in largo qtinntltles for tho members of the grange. The farmers of tho Eist must do this or they must drop out of the business. Tbo only truo business prlnoiplo Is to mako both onds not only moot but overlap. Tho profits on projuca being materially lessened, tho farmer must deoroaso his expenses, to at least partially mako up the deficiency.

Ho must employ ohoiper labor, aud he must purohoso for his household and his farm at a toluced prloo. If ho cannot do thin, ho oannot make money. On tho contrary, ho must graiually approach bankruptcy, and finally go bo ruin. Tho best way to accomplish This Is by oo oporatlou. It ia tha only way In whioh It oau bo aooimplisbod.

Your grango Is told that manure Is worth one doflaV fl lultj You kuow you can't afford to pay It, and you know that it is bailer to cultivate ton aoros profitably than flfty acres unprofltably. Let your grange fix upon tho price its mombors can aff rd to pay. If only sixty oenlB, don't pay any more, and my oxporlouco has been I tlmt unltou notton nrtcul bus never failed. A farmor who ha.l bson listening sal 1 that wss just tho experlonco of tho Long Island Granges. Last your they purchased manure for sixty cents, while Ihoso outside of tho grange paid eighty and ninety.

John O'Domiell was the next speaker. Ho said that Ihe farmors of Queens County paid tho largest proportion of taxes, and were making less tnouoy than any other class. Taxation Ii high, with llttlo prospoc of a doorcase, 'i'horo is reason for corporation among ttio farmors, not merely to proteot thoir fntorests in a business way, and to bvo money by tho ByBtem which prevails in tho grange, but to protect thoir own pocket oud tho pockets of taxpayers gocerally against tho rapacity of mon who should bo abovo taking what did not belong to thom. Iu this ooimtry wo havo officials who aro taking monoy from tho county troasury In violation of the Constitution and tho laws of tho Stato, and In violation of tho ngroomont which thoy made to servo tho people tor the salaries flxod by law. The manner In which this lively spoaoh wos ap plaudod showed that tho farmors wore ot tho samo mlud.

Air. O'Donnoll had reference to Judge Armstrong and Surrogate Hagnor. Thero appears to be good ground for tho accusation, as In 1871 tho Board of Supervisors granted them extra pay, to tako effect on tho 1st day of January, 1875, at tho moment of the' amendment to tho Constitution prohibiting tho granting of Inoreasnd oomponsa tlon. It Is held by good lawyers that tho act of tho Board of Supervisors novor bad any foroo, and moreover that no Board of Supervisors has bad the powor to grant Inareasod compensation slnoo 1809. As Judge Armstrong is a candidate for the AUorney Goneralshlp, this charge Is not ono to bo lightly considered, In ns mnoh ns it is mado by man who is responsible for his uttoraucea.

The spoechniakiug over, watermelons wero cul and tho multitude foastod. This overt danplnij wo8o At six o'clock tho older folks and tho children took thoir departure, as did tho city pooplo, giving the farmers the full uao of tho groat pavilion. Tho grand part of tho festival was resorvodfor (ho evoning. Tito evening trains brought hundroils of yotiug folks, and thero was a spociat train to cirry thom homo at niidnih'lil. Tho air was eool, and when tho n.oon came up tho scene on old oooan was chunuini.

Tho pavilion brilliantly illuminated, as woro all (he hotols, and Chinese lanterns adorned and illuiuinatod tho avenue from bay to ocean. A great boullre was made on tho beach, winch shod a halo of light far out ou the water, and afforded a full view of the bathers and tho strollers on tho beach. It was one o'clock this niorniuu when tho festival closed, and all rogretlod that Uio time passed so swif tly. BONEST JOHN'S PATCHWORK. Time, A.

Carrying the War Into Africa The Slioro Inspector Calls for One Hundred Men. The Shores of Kings County to be Defended at All Hazards Swearing in Special Deputy Sheriffs. Yesterdoy the Now York Police Commis sioners again violated the plain agreement which (hoy ontored into some time ago not to send out their garbage boats save with the permit of Shore InBpeotor Fotguoion. Tho boats went down the bay with tho tiae on which they have been going out nil olong, and once more tho shores of Coney Island and of Kings County is strewn with the foul garbago and offal of tho City of New York. It was the third or fourth Hmo that the sworn ameers' of the law in a great metropolis have openly and flagrantly defied tho express command of the courts and violated their own word.

To day tho beaoh for miles la strewn with offal, fostoring and rotting on the shore under the hot bud, and poisoning the air for miles. The thing must be stoppod, and now the Police Commissioners of Now York, who think themselves strong enough to doty the law, must yield to force, since they oannot bo persuaded to fairness and Justice by milder means. Tho strong arm of tho commonwealth has been invoked, and tho outrage will be onded. All through this contest, which has been known as tho "garbago war," Shore Inspector Fergueson has attempted to do hiB duty quietly aud peacoably and with out noise or tumult. Ho sought the peaceful remedy of tho courts for tho evil which the Now York Commls I Bioners insist upon lnflioting upon Kings County, and tho court gave him his remedy, but the Now York offloialB coutinuod, iu the soe ot tho mandato of the law, to carry out their old plan of dumping the gar haga when and where (hey chose.

Finding that peaceable measures would not prevail, tho Shore Inspeotor has determined to use force, and having come to that ho proposes that thore shall be no half way measures about tho business. Yesterday's Eagle contained the account of tho call made by him upon the Police Commissioners of Brooklyn for assistance in stopping the garbage boats from going through the Narrows and tho refusal of the Board to assist Last night Shore Inspector Fergueson sent word to General Jourdan, President of tho Board, that If ho would furnish him twonty fivo policemen he would pay thom threo dollars por day per man for thoir sor vloes, but the offer was refused. Shut off from holp in that quarter, the Shore InBpeotor concluded to call on the Sheriff of Kings County for assistance In onforc ing the law, which by virtue of his ofhoo as Shoro i Inspector, he was empowered to do. THE CALL FOB ASSISTANCE on tho Sheriff was thereforo made Into yesterday aftor noon. The request was made verbally to Under Sheriff Colonel Lewis R.

Stegman, Sheriff Daggett being absent from the oity. Colonel Stegman responded promptly and llatB of men were at once mado. About four huudred names were collated, and from them tho Colonel and the Shoro Inspector made thoir selections of men personally known to them, who would be reliable and ready in any emergency to do any duty they were called upon to perform. Attached to the Sheriff's office are a number of special deputies, and from theso tbo best men woro selected, and In addition to these a number of other specials will be called upon. Tho work of picking out tho men is going forward aotlvely to day, and great care is exorcised In taking only the best and most reliable mon.

This is absolutely necessary, as it is more than probable that tho Police Commissioners may attempt to resist tho arrest of the boats, as they did last season, whon tho Soneoa, tho Now York Polloe boat, was sont down with the garbago scows. Up to noon, to day, about twenty fivo mon had been picked out and sworn in as Bpooial doputios. Thj number will be considerably ineroased during the afternoon, and iu addition, Shorejlnspeolor Feigueson will have tho assistance of Ine police of The iowns of Qravesond and Now Utrecht, amounting to sixteen men. He expect to have in all upward of one hundred mon at his disposal, but at present ho oannot tell tho exact number that will bo required. Ho has also engaged the sorvlco9of a largo and heavy tugboat with whioh to mako tho atrest.

She will be a powerful vessel, fully equal to any emergency. Tho point where tho arrest will bo made will bo at about tho samo spot as last year, right in tho Narrows off Fort Hamilton, where thero can bo no quostion of wnou mo ram wm oo maao mo Inspector does not commit himself, a little timo will bo requisite to get things in proper shape, but meanwhile he ia on the watch. The Shorlff's posso will bo under tho immediate command of Deputy Shorifl Goorge Hatdy, subject, of course, to tho order of tha Shoro Inspector. Thero will be no shillyshallying about Ihe mutter. If tho Polioo CommissioDcrs attempt to violate tho law they will bo provonted at oil hazards.

Mr.Fcvgueson sayB thot nothing will bo done rockloss ly, but every provision will be made to onforco tho right. Tho people or Kings County have sufforod long enough, ho sayB, from this outrage, and now it must cease. It soems very strange that aftor tho arrangements had been mado thruugh tho counsel of tho Now York Board, Mr. Charles McLean, by whioh it was agreed that no boats wore to bo sent out, without tho Shore Inspector's pormlt, and also on tho faoe of the mandate of the oourt, that tho boats should not go out without that pormlt, that tbo Now York Board of Commissioners should ignore the agreemont and not only broak faith, but insult tho authority of tho courts by their action.

DoWitt Newlng, one of tho coroners of Long Branch, by ono Augustus Morris, a painter by traic, doing business hero, but who formorly resided In Hudson avenue, Brooklyn, lor many years, and was a respected citizen of the Elovcnth Ward. "Ous" MorriB, as he is familiarly known horo, and hiB wifo oamo to Long Branch in poor circumstances in 1873, and accepted tho hospitalities ot tho homo of HiS iP'jS lSZr' a Mr, JSdward Clayton who started him in tho palntingTmsinesB. In his business ho noon accumulated money onough to purchsso for himsolf and family a little home. Soarcoly had he romoved to tho houBO bofore he became suspicious of bis wife's aotlons, whioh suspicions woro affirmed by coming homo lato ono nhjht and upon opening the trout door saw tbe flguro of a man glide out through tho back yard. A row wan tho consequence, ending with Mrs, Morris socking the protootion of hor brother, Mr.

Clayton, in whose house she lived for a time, whon the huBband rolented and took the erring woman back to his homs and heart. For a long while they lived happily together, and not till the early part of the present Summer did anything happon to mar tho poaoo and happiness of the Morris housohold. Thon the husband again be came jealous and denounoed his wifo as having too much Intimacy with THE LONG. HBANOn OOBONER, one DoWitt Newlng, who also was tho owner of a flno livery stable, and in whoso company Mrs. Morris was seen repeatedly riding out.

It now bocamo tho common talk of the village gossip ers and It soon bocamo tho town scandal that tho Coroner was seen too much in tho company of Mrs. Morris lnsteod of devoting himsolf ontlroly to the society of his own wlfo. This naturally disploasod Morris, and on several times ho csutlonod his wlfo abuut tho matter. At Iongth a fow days ago ho doolared to Mr. ward Clayton, the brother of Mrs.

Morris, that ho could let things go no further, and that if tho intlmaoy was continued that ho would take extromD measures with Newlng. Things oame to a orisis on Sunday whon he mot Newlng coming from church, his wffo leaning on his arm. Ordering Mrs. Morris to her home he then informed Newlng that If ho did not cease loading bis wife astray from her homo and children that he would kill him (Nowlng) on tho next repetition of the act. It was only on tho next evoning (Monday) that Mr.

Morris, while walking along tho bluff, found his wife and Nowlng arm in arm, OOUBTrNa ON THE SAND. Tho husband retired from the track without boing seen by the oouplo, and Immediately went to tha houso of his wifo'a brothor, Mr. OlaytoD, and told mm to come and see what be had seen, as Clayton was inclined to doubt the stories of his sister's Indiscretions. Tho two mon thon went back to tho beach togethor, Morris having sooretod about his person a stout hickory olub. They hod gone but a short distance when thoy saw Nawlng and Mrs.

Morris sitting upon tho sand on ths beach In front of tho Mansion Houso, In company with George Sherwood, tha dotootlvo officer of ths Oooan Hotol, and another msD's wife. Little did the adulterous ox Ooronor or tho unfaithful wlfo and mother dream, as thoy sat in qulot contemplation listening to the rolling surf and enjoying the moonlit Btraud, th.t the avenging arm ol tho abused husband was almost upon them. As soon as the brothel saw th position of tho guilty pair, all his sympathy aroso for the husband, and catching him by tho arm bo exclaimed, "If you're half a man go for tho suoker." Aud "go for blm" Morris did. Without any word of warning he raised the stout club and dealing him a blow on tho head felled im to the beaoh senseless. All of the murderous passions In the nun's breast now held him as ho jumped upon the prostrate man and stamped upon him and kicked him unmercifully about tbo faoe and head.

Not contented with this he caught ths man by the feet and THBEW HIM INTO THE 8UB7. The brother of Mrs, Morris now saw that It was Morris' intention to kill the man, and rushing into ths undertow ha dragged the Inaonsibte man into shoro and oalled for assistance, in tbs meantime keeping tho furious man at bay. Newlng was then removed to the Suvf Hoyso in an unconscious condition, and medical afd boing summoned pronounced hla wounds fatal; but, toward morning, a change for the better took place, and Nawlng, being a strong, robust fellow, will probably recover. After the affrsy Clayton took hia sister to his own bouse. During tha assault on Nowlng tha wife tried to fly, bnt her brother held hor and compelled her to be a witness of the man's degradation.

Shorwood, the Ocean Hotel detective, ran away daring thsjuTray, and has not bees wen ilnos. There Is no doubt but that Morris fully intonded to kill Newlng, and it yet may prova a murdor. No arrests hare been made, and none are likely to bo unloss New tug's tnJarlst should Drove fatal, B. f) Tj. V.

p. A New Way of Holding Workmen to Their Duties. Two Men Compelled to Wort at the Mnzzle of a Loaded Musket A Subsequent Fight Where Knives were Drawn. Charles Bodenhause is the name of a German cobbler residing in the village of Parkville. He doos not always slick to his last, but occasionally turns his attention to the cultivation of a large garden whioh surrounds bis rather modest rosldenoe.

Boden hause is ordinarily a good natural fellow, but whon he becomes oxcltcd his passions overcome him, and he generally indulges in some extraordinary aot to express bis wrath. The boys along the Parkway facetiously call him Boardingboueo," and lose no opportunity to ridicule him whenever his tall, ungainly form is seen in the streets. In the cultivation of his garden BodenhauBe has recently been assisted by two farm laborers residing In the vicinity, one of whom is a little Englishman named Josopb Scott, and tho othor a burly Gorman namod Overhault. Soott is called Bulldozer" by tho neighbors, because ol tho extensive development of HIS BUMP OB OOMBATIVENES3. Recently Bodenhause has complained that his men did not do their work properly and that thoy spent the greater portion of their time imbibing in a neighboring grocery.

He would plaoe them at work digging potatoes or hoeing cabbage in the morning and theu turn his attention to his shoemaking, but when ho went to look for them thoy were nowhere to be Been. A search generally resulted in their boing fonnd in tho grocery. On Friday last Bodenhause declared that he would BUbmit no longer to tho imposition of his lazy laborers. He found them, aa usual, in the grocery, and drove them to tho garden. Then he ascended to tho attio of his house, procured an ancient musket, which had dooo duty in many a conflict, and loaded It with powder and ball.

Shouldering the gun, ho marched down into tho garden and pointod it at "Bulldozer" and Overhault, The men were frightened almost into a fit by tho threatening OBpeot of Bodenhause, and at once Btorted to run, but ho oommonded them to Btop and roturn to their work pr HE WOULD SHOOT THEM. The laborers tremblingly obeyed, and in loss than a minute had regained their gardening implements which in their fright they had thrown away. Thoy resumed their work with a wilt but Bodenhouse, for fear that they would again seek the grocery, mounted guard over thom all day with tho loaded musket, giving thom very dearly to understand that if they did not perform their duties he would perforate thom with bullets. When darkness approached Bodenhouse shouldered his pieoe and entered his house, permitting the tired workmen to loave. The men did not go to thelt work on Saturday, and the shoemaker became enraged at them and informed them that ho would not pay thom.

This declaration was made In front of the grocery which had caused all the trouble. High words passed between tho men and thoy soon came to blows. "Bulldozer" knocked Bodenhause into the middle of the street, and was about to follow up the attaok whon the oobbler drow a large shoe knife from his sleeve and stood upon cha defensive, "Bulldozer" also drew a knife and it seemed that A BLOODY OOMBAT was Imminent, when the bystanders separated the meu. Ciiarges of assault and battery were preferred before Justioe Cropsey and both men were sent to Raymond Btroet Jail, whore they remained until Mon. day, when they were released on bail.

Bodenhause fs very indignant because the Justioe sent him to jail, and said last night that he could have procured bail to tho amount of $1,000 If neosssary. TURBULENT. A SouOi Bi oolclyai Mousse Willi a Tragic History. A Riotous Attempt to Get Possession of the Brooklyn House Servants who Lie fuse to be Ousted by Their Employers. A Sanguinary Encounter Prevented by the Police.

The Brooklyn House, a large five story brick building at the junction of Union street and Hamilton avonue, to whioh an oxceodingly tragio history is attached, was yesterday aftornoon tho scene of an exciting occurrence. For somo weeks a legal contest for tho possession of the premises has been going on, but ono of tho mterostod parties, dlssatisflod with tho slow pro ooss of law, determined by foroo to carry his point. Briefly stated, tho faots aro as follows Flvo or all years ago Mr. 8. C.

Smith, proprietor pf tho Frankfort Houbo, No. 202 William street, New York, purchased tho Brooklyn House and ran it as a hotel and restaurant. HI luck, however, seemed to follow the place, and the profits from tho business were barely sufficient to pay the taxes. A year or so ago the conoern was olosed and remainod so until about two monthB ago, whon Mr. Smith advertised for somo parties who would bo willing to tako charge of the plaoe and run It in his interest.

Joseph Fayart and his wifo, Anna, answered tho advertisomont and mado arrangements with Smith, who agreed to lot tbom livo rent lroo on tho premises on condition that thoy would OIVE HIM A FAIB SHARE OP THE PS0FIT3 derived from the busino3s in tho restaurant. A written agreement to that effect was entered into be tween tho partners, and it was furlhar specified that the contract could be broken by either party on giving ten days' notice of thoir Intention. It seems that Mr. Smith soon became dissatisfied with his bargain, as ho discovered that 'i employes worstakinj in a large amount of mono wlilothoyi fa toh nl any of it to him. He remonstrated with the Fayarts from time timo, aud, finding it impossiblo to bring them to terms, gave them tho required ten days' notico to qlt.

At the end of tho ten days he sent some men to take possession, but the Fayarts were adequately prepared for the cmorgenoy and gave them suoh a hot reception that they were glad to beat a hasty Tatrcat. Mr. Smith then consulted with Mr, John Coonoy, bis lawyer, and. by his advicf, brought an ejeotment suit against tho Fayarts before Justioe Walsh. After hearing the evidonoe on both sides Justico Walsh dismissed tbe complaint on tho ground that tho Fayarts were not properly tenants, but employos.

He told Mr. Smith, however, that if ho hold a just title to tho promises, that ho should go thore and claim police assistance in getting possession of thera. This step Mr. Smith determined to take yesterday afternoon, and at about four o'olock, hiB son Samuel C. Smith and James Loze, Patriok Kennedy, George Wilson and Henry Melville, all employos of the Frankfort Housi, oamo to this city for the purpose of carrying It Into effeot.

On reaching the Brooklyn House, Mr. Smith politely in foimed Mr. Fayart of his intontions, exhibiting at tho. same time the deed of the premises, Mrs, Fayart was present at tbe time and took a prominent part in the Btormy soana which oUBUod. She oxcitodly announcod tho determination of her husband NOT TO SUBBEIfDEB, and ordered Mr.

Smith and hts mon to leavo the place, Mr. Smith theu deolnrei that he would take forolble possession, and at tho samo time ordered tho parties who had como with him to ejoot the Fayarts and ee ouro the doors. Both those ordors wore promptly obeyed, and bith Fayart and his wifo wero removed from the houso after a severe struggle on their part. Mr. Smith, however, "hold the fort" only a fow mo ments, for Mrs.

Fayart soon enlisted the sympathy of the orowd, who wero attraolod to tho spot by tho ruoleo, and a rush having been made, tho front door and win dow were broken In. For a few moments it seemed as If a sanguinary struggle was goin to lake place, both parties having datermlned apparently, to maintain their ground. Mrs. FayaTt led the assault on the luva ders, and armed with a heavy club presontod a forinld able appearance. Just when matters had reached this serious oiisis, Offioirs Hantaan, Flushing, Riley and O'Hourke, of the Third Precinct, reaohed tbe spot and took up position between tho contending parties who oven then could barely be restrained from flying at each other.

Comparative qulot having been restored, the premises were looked up and all the parties taken to the station house. Charges and counter oharges of assault and battery wero mado, and after a full inquiry into all tho facts, Captain Lcavoy oonoluded to accept those made by tho Fayarts, against Mr. Smith and tho four men who accompanlod him, all of whom were dotained at tho station house. On investigation he refnsed to ontertoin the complaints against the Fayarts, who wore allowed to return in triumph to the scene of the trouble. Justico Ferry subsequently released Mr.

Smith on bis own recognizees, but the other four prisoners wore obliged to spend tha night at the Btation houso. This morning thoy wero arraigned before Justioe Ferry, and a new complaint CHARGING THEM WITH RIOTOUS CONDUCT was mode out by Mr. RelUy, counsellor the Fayarts, and on this they were etch held in $300 bail to appear for trial on Wednesday, Soptomber 5. Mr. Smith Is indignant at the turn affairs have takon, and professes to think thore Is no law or justice in Brooklyn.

The Fayarts, he says, are merely his servants, under orders of dismissal from hla employment, and he regard i it as a gross outrage that they should be protected in the illegal possession of bis property by the police, who, ho alleges, ore in league with them. Detective James Boohe, of the Third Preolnct, has got mixed up in tho trouble, a oomplaint of assault and battery, having been made against him by Mrs. Smith, wife of the owner ol the bouse. It seems that Mrs. Smith, flatted the place, a few days ago, and during a dispute with the Fayarts, Boohe was called in, aud, as Mrs.

Smith alleges, used unnecessary violonoo ia removing her. The charge will bo Investigated by Justice Walsh, on Monday next. THE HISTORY OF THE BROOKLYN HOUSH (s, aa has been already stated, a tragio one. When erected about 30 years ago, it was known as the Barker House, from the name of its owner, George Barker, and at that early tlma nas ono of the most popular resorts In South Brooklyn. Iu the year 1605 it was brought into prominence and unpleasant notice as the scene ol tbo ehooking and cruel murder of Michael McLaughlin, which has never been avenged.

The unfortunate yonng man, it seems, was about to go to the gold diggings In California, where fortune hod already followed the footsteps of some South Brooklyn boys, with whom he had been acquainted and who had sent urgent letters for him to Join thom. Tha night before his intonded departure, he accompanlod a few friends to tha Barker House, and went with them to the barroom, where they met several other young men with whom they were mora or less acquainted. Including Joe Barker, the bartender, there wers in all ineteen In tbe party. During the evening a dispute arose, and general fight entosd. When lk was quieted MoLanghUn was found lying dead on the floor, covered with blood, with a knife over ten inch In length plunged In his heart.

All tha parties In the barroom war placed under arrest, but although tn killing had been witnessed by them all, the Investigation whioh followed utterly failed to Indicate the perpetrator of tho foul daed, although It was generally suspected that Joe Barker was the perpetrator. It was believed tha time that he would have bean brought to Justice had it not been for the culpable mlsmanagament ox tha James Dunne Before tlie Barney Gray's Charges Against Him Tho Board of Elections Trouble Franklin Woodruff Still a Commissloner Increaso of Pior Facilities Narrow Escape ot Two Officials The Most Honest Job. Mr. James Dunne, ex Street Inspeotor of the Department of City Works, oalled upon Mayor Schroeder this morning, in response to a summons issued by his Honor, who wantod his testimony as to the charges of Contractor Barney Gray, of the Ninth Ward. It may bo romembered that Gray charged that bo had paid to John Harrison a considerable sum of money, whioh was paid by Harrison to Dunne and the then Superintendent of Streets Aitkin for Inspector Wilson.

Tho Mayor investigated the charees and was satisfied that they were groundless. The summons to Dunne was dated the 23d and notified him to appear tho following day, when tho investigation was held. Mr. Dunne was out of town and only returned yestorday aftornoon. He then hoard for the first timo that Gray hod preferred charges to tho Board of City Works.

Ho explained to the Mayor why ho had not called before. Tho Mayor tald that ho did not care to hear his evidence, now as ho was convinood that tho accusations were untrue. Mr. Dunno pronounced thom falso and was ready for an investigation if necessary. These charges were made malloiously and tho parties aoaused have contemplated instituting proceedings against Gray, but havo refrainod from doing it on tho ground that the man is worthless.

Ho has now the contract for cleaning tho Ninth Ward but does not do the work in proper manner. He has beon complained of timo and again, but for somo unexplained reaBon ho has heretofore done juat about as he pleased. Inspeotor Wilson has refused to certify to tho bills on several occasions aud now he has two of them which will not be signed until the work is done acoording to contract. PANIC AT THE NEW MUNICIPAL BUILDING. There was a panio among the workmen engaged on the new Municipal Building yesterday afternoon.

When the squall struck the building, thoricketty framo work, by courtesy called tho towers, shook so, that the meu feared the structures were coming down upon thom and nod to tho street. When the storm had passod away, they slowly returned to work, oautiously picking their way to the top of f.imldrag. The only man who stood the storm was the SCdoubtablo Inspector Dady, who clung to the iron work shouting lustily for Honest John. THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS. Mayor Schroeder ia either experiencing mnoh difficulty in finding a man to take Mr.

Woodruff's place la tho Board of Elootions or is desirous of having that gcntloman remain. The former is hardly probable, as there are any number of Republicans who would be pleased to secure tho position men who would agree to do Behroeder't bidding lor tho appointment. The Mayor has not yet made any appolntmont, but he has written a letter to Presidont Gilbortson notifying him that Mr. Woodruff is etui a member of the, Board as his resignation was not to toko effoot until his successor Bhould have beon appointed. The Registers and Inspectors of Eleotion aro to be appointed on tho 15th of September.

The law requires that the minority member of the Board shall havn the onDointment of one in each dis triot and the majority two. It is likoly that Mayor Schroeder wants Mr. Woodruff to make tho Republican appointmentp, but from the summary maDnor in which that gentleman resigned it is not thought possible that he will meet with Messrs. Gilbortson and Piatt. Ho said in his letter of resignation that to preserve his self respoct ho would havo to get out of tho Board, and It is deemed hardly probable that af tor using such language he would HAVE THE TEMEBITi" to meet with tho two gentlemen whom he deserted, even for the purposo of making thoso appointments.

Messrs, Gilbertaon and PJatt would be glad to welcome him back, believing that his withdrawal was tho result of a misuudorstanding in regard to the selection of tho Clerk of the Board. Thoy havo no tooling whatever against Lim notwithstanding his letter. A meeting of.the Board was hold this morning. President Gilbertson and Commissioner Plait woreou hand, but Mr. Woodruff did not appoar, although, as stated, ho had beon notified.

The meeting was brief one end no busineBB of interest was transacted. Messrs. Gilbortson and Piatt propose to go right along and transact whatever business they may havo, whether Mr. Woodruff appears or The payroll of tho Board for August includes the salary of Mr. Woodruff, and the question has boon raised whether ho ought to be paid as Commissioner while ho refuses to act.

INCREASED PIEB FACILITIES. The nooessity of ineroased pier accommodations has been long felt by tho business men along the water front of the Thirteenth Ward, and to meet that want there is now being oonstruoted an immense pier at the foot of South Fifth street, whioh, when completed, will be one of the finest pioces of work of its kind in tho oity. The new structure will extend from the bulkhead out into the river, a distance of threo hundred feet. It will bo forty feet in width and will have two of the largest "cribs" ever sunk in the East River. Each "crib" wiU be seventy nine by seventy feet and fifty two foot in depth, and it will take twenty four hundred tons of stone to sink them.

The distanoe from tho bulkhead to tho inner "crib" will bo a hundred and flfty feat, and the work of laying piles within that space has been completed. For the last four weeks workmen have been engaged in dredging to secure a level bottom for the "cribs," and the requisite depth of water, about forty feot. The bed of the river there hog been found to bo full of boulders and somo of them weighing from five to ton tons have boon removed by the dredging machine. In many instances whore tho bouldors were too large to bo removed by the dredging machine, Burfaoo blasts were used with great effect. The Inner "crib" has been oompleled and was to hove been sunk yesterday, but owing to some misunderstanding the tug which was to tow it into position did not arrive.

It was then deolded to sink it to day. Tho pior is being built by Mr. John Gillies, under a contract from tha Board of Oity Works, for $27,500. The contract provides that the work must bo completed within ninety working days, and thirty have already passed. Assistant Engineor DoMerritt makes a careful inspection of the work as it progressss, and reports it being done In a satisfactory manner.

A1TFAIRS AT THE TRUANT HOME. Superintendent Olark, of tho Truant Home, was at tho City Hall this morning, aud reported that there wero twenty soven boys in the Institution. The proposition to place iron grating across windows of tho dormitories aud schoolroom seenn to have been abandoned. The Aldermen appropriated $500 for tho purpose, but whon bids for tho work woro received it was found that tho lowest exceeded that amount by Bevoral hundred dollars. Mr.

Clark will BUggest the propriety of having the resolution appropriating the $500 rescinded at the meeting of tho Aldermon next week, and tho adoption of Borne othor mens to prevent escapes from tho building. Two now teachers have beon en gaged, and will enter upon their duties on the 1st prox. A NAItBOW ESCAPE. Chief Engineor Van Buren and Assistant Engineer DeMerrltt, of the Dopartmont of City Works, bad a very narrow escape from boing killed yesterday aftornoon. Thoy wero riding up Clinton street, on their roturn from au inspection of some puDIio work, and wero passing tho old Long Inland Club IIouo whon the squall struck the largo willow treo that stood thore, blowing it across the' street.

In alllug it came within an ace of striking tho wagon in whioh the gentlemen wero driving. Had no: Mr. DeMerrltt seen it falling and applied the whip to tho horse, both he and his companion would undoubtedly havo beon crushed by its massive limbs. They woro very much frightonod. JOHN OOUUll SUNSTUUCK.

John Gough of North Second and Third streetsno relativo of tho C3lebratod temperance orator, however while under the influence of liquor got sunstruck at the corner of South Fifth and Second streets yesterday aftornoon. Ho was removed to the Eastern District Hospital where the usual remedies were applied with good effoctB. Ho was able to leave tho Institution at eight olook in tho evening. AS EFFECT OF THE STORM. An effect of the storm in the Eastern Dis trict jesterday afternoon, was the breaking of a plate glaRB window valued at $150 in Fodden's meat market at South Ninth and Fourth The glass was in tured.

A POLICE FOOT BACK. Owing to a difference of opinion between Officers Charles floodell and Goorgo Cosgrove, both of the Sixth Precinct, sb to whioh of tho two was the Hooter of foot, it has been decided to testtheir respective qualities by a foot raco, to take place at one o'olook on Saturday afternoon at the "Two Cont Plaoe." Officers Abbott and Hendricks will aot as reforoos. Tho wager is for an oyster supper. STONK THROWING. William Stiney, a boy of twelve yeara of age, yesterdoy afternoon throw a stone at and struok David Acker, the eight year old son of Alderman Acker, thereby inflicting a slight bruise on the head.

Stiney was arrested and brought before Justico Guok thfc morning, but Mr. Acker not desiring to press the complaint, the boy was discharged. BOSS BAKERS' TAUGET EXCUKSIOS.

An Unfortunate Whose Antecedents are a Mystery, The New York Authorities Trying to Discover How the Danghler of Good Parents Came to a Doath of Shame. Cora young, the boautiful young woman who diod at Bellovue Hospital last Sunday, was laid at rest in Potter's Field with hor, It was thought, was buriod tho history and secrot of hor past hfv What was her true name, whore she reBldod bofore sho oame to this oity, who wob her betrayer, who dually administered the drugs which put an end to her own nnd another life. Theso woro questions that wero asked In vain, as or remain's lay iu tho New York Morcue.

Nor could thoy bo answerod oven whon a deeply vullod woman succeeded by hor entreaties in having the rude eufUu opoued bfore the grave was reached in order that she inln.ht kiss the cold fnco aud rain tears upon the form euroud od in lath. "IT IS A MrSTEBIOUS OASK," was said on all sides, but tho result of to day's lnves vostigation by tho officials of tho Corouor'a office will in all probability oloar away tho mystery surrounding Iho young girl's death. As will be remembered, Cora Young was taken in a cab to tho hospital ou Saturday night last, by two mon whoso names aud residences wore unknown. It was stated that sho had beon living In a Greene street house of 111 lame. Those wore all the particulars ol the oaso communicated to tho officials of tho hospital.

Upon tho girl's doath tho Coroner at once set to work to And the mon who bad brought hor to Uellovue aud it was published iu the newspapers that thoy woro wanted. At au onrly Hour this morning two mou camo Into tho Coroner's olllco and explained that thoy wero tho men raferred to. Prudont Charles, a Fronohman, tho proprietor of tho houso at 118 Grjeu street, from which the girl was takon, a hard foaturod, villainous looking man, fltatod that it was ho who look hor to tho hospital. Tho other man who was with him at tho Corouor's office aoconi panied him, but was only an iutorprotor. Uo had coma to tho Coronor's ofllco to toil all ho knew ot tho case.

Tha girl, be stated, was in his house bb a boarder when he bought it a month ago. Sho had como thore a week or so ago. She was inclined to bo low spiritod and coniplainod of boing Biak at (lues. A week ago last Monday she became rery sick, and he called iu Dr. Carroau, of No.

135 MoOougal stro3t. Upon a certificate issued by the doctor ho took hor last Saturday to the hospital. While Miss Young was in his house she never referred to hor family, aud Charles doolared that he knows nothing of her antocedouts, Dr. Carroan stated to a reporter at tho Coronor's olhoo that he attended tho girl In her sioknoss. Uo did not think sho was dangerously ill she had suflorod from a misoorriago she inforniod him that hur father was A WELL KNOWN MEBOHANT OF BOSTON, and that Bho was lu a beautiful homo with kind naronts and brothers and siBtors.

Hor truo namo Bho refused to diaoloBO. For sevorol years sho hnd boon tho betrothed of a youug man ot that oity, but her parent wero opposed 10 tho alliance. She dually found hersolf in au uutortuuate coudltion, and ruuulug away from homo started for New York, whore hor bolrayor promised to marry iior. At a small oity noar Boston, thoy stopped I or a day and he induood hor to tako somo drugs which ho procured at a drug st jro. Tho drugs wore Ineffective ex cant to produco great sufferings.

Upon arriving in this oity sho was dosertod by her companion, oud not daring to communlcato with hor frionds sho Anally drifted into tha low boardlug house on Groone stroet, whero sho was afterward visltod by hor betrayor who induced her to tako tho drugs which woro successful iu producing an obortioo, and whioh resulted in hor death. Ur, Carroan stated thot ho novor saw a move lodjiiko young woman than Miss Young. Whilo attending her ho convorsod with hor at longth, and discovered that Bho was highly oduoatod aud accomplished. It is his opinion that she belongs to a family of good standing, Whon Miss Young was vory ill Bho expressed a Btroug desire to bo sent homo, but said she could nover communlcato with hor friends from her present residence, ari3 upon consulting with tho dootor it was agreed that sho should be sent to tho hospital, and that sho could thon write to her frionds. Bho rolused to stato tho namo of hor betrayor, but said that he was In this city and that ho had tri ated her shamefully, but, nevertheless, she lovod him devotedly.

Coroner Fiauagan stated at noon to day that ho Is hard at work on this oaso and that he has several clues to work upon. At present tlioro Is nothing that he can give to tho public. From other sources it was learned that important developments may soon bo oxpoctud in tho 0SB0. A HUISA5CE.

A lady called at the Central Office of the Commissioners of Charltios about nino o'clock this morning, and notified tho Clerk that's Borvant Rirl, named Hannah Driscoll, in the employ of James Mc Clanoy, of 461 Lafayette avenue, had given birth to a ohild under the following circumstances This morning, sbout seven o'olook.

she went doivn Into the cellar; shortly after Bhe staggered upstairs and complained of being unweU. The feoble cries of a child proceeding from the collar soon attracted tho attention ot the family, aud going down thoy discovered a new born infant. It was eleven o'clook before the physician sent from tho Central Oflloi) arrived at the house. The mother was lying on a lounge, exceedingly weak, while her offspring stilt lay In the cellar where alio loft it. Tho physician having oared for mother aud child, forwarded them to the Conuty Buildings.

This is tho account of the circumstanoes as given by the clerk of tho Central Office. Tho servant girl is said to bo unmarried. A JAMBOREE. The Capers of a Fast Young Man at Coney Island. A Livery Man and a Hotel Keeper Badly Taken In by a Dashing Relative of the Late Mayor Ravemeycr.

On Friday morning last a well dressed, good looking man, apparently about 28 years of sge, drove down to Coney iBland. His turnout was a light wagon and stylish pair of horses. Ho put them up under tho sheds attached to tho mammoth Atlantic Garden, of which Paul Bauer and Co. are the proprietors. Enter ing the establishment himself ho sought and made the acquaintance of persons connected with tho establish nicnt.

He announcod himself aa Edward Havomsyer, connected with the great house of Havenieyer aud a son of tho late Mayor Havemeyor. Henlso represented that he had oome down to stay the day only and called for champalgne which he drank reoly during the day and evoning. When night fell he considered himself ineapablo ol driving homo his valuablo team and having established his identity as to boing one of the responsible Havomeyers, (for he wss recognized by Bauer's cashier) ho was provided with lodging for tho night and his horses wore amply and comfortably provided for. Next morning he GAVE HIS OHEOK, to Paul Bauer for Mr. Bauer handodjhlm baok somo $80 In cash tho surplus over his bill.

Mr. Hav emeyer wont lor a drive, and meeting some friends returned and again bad his horses stabled and he set out on a regular old "tare," drinking, of course, nothing but the most costly liquros all tho while. This course he pursued dally up to the last evening whon his checks to Bauer for over $600 wero returned from the bank as worthless. Havomeyer was away driving his fast team, and it is said fast women at the time tho cheeks wero returned. About ten o'clock lost night ho drove up again, and utterly unconscious of having boon found out, entorod the garden and oalled for more wine.

He was evidently under the lnfluonoe of liquor at the time, but Mr. Bauer confronted him with the checks, Havoineyei; said THEEE MUST BE SOME MISTAKE about it, and that he would mako it all right in the morning by telegraphing to hiB mother, who would undoubtedly Bottle the matter satisfactorily. This did not wholly satisfy Mr. Bauer, and so ho Bent for officer Johu MoMahou, who is constantly stationed ot Cablo's Hotol. Havemoyer then said that it would do Bauor no good to havo him arrested, as ho was but recently roloased from tho Insane Asylum.

Ho offered to leave in Mr. Bauer's hands the carriago and horses as soourity, as well as remaining over him oif Km'n iu w.v ik, iw 1,1 up by mother. This offer was promptly accepted tho turnout was fully secured and Havemeyor was also assigned to an apartment under strict surveillance Half an hour later a gcntloman entered the garden and annouueed himsolf as Wm. Henry Boers, proprietor of tho Mutual Club Livery Stablo. at 138 West Thirty first street, Now York, and claimed the horses and oarriage as his property, whioh fact he quickly established, THE FAOTS.

There is no doubt but that toe man's name is Edward Havemoyer. On Thursday last ho oalled at the livery stable abovo namod and aftor making representations as to his identity similar to those he made to Bauer hired the wagon and horses for the day. To tho Eaqle reporter to day Mr. Beers said that his wagon wss damaged to tho amount of $250, his harness was ruined aud his magulflcont horses snakes. If ho is not compensated he will prosecute tho young man for horso Bteallng, and Mr, Bauer will prosecute him for obtaining money under false pretenses.

Havemeyor is still detained at tho Atlsnlio Garden and unloss his mother is heard from this afternoon he will be transferred to jail in Brooklyn this evening. Havemeyor telegraphed to his mother at No. 71 East Forty eighth at root, this morning. The only relationship he bears to the deceased Mayor Havemoyer is through his mother, who, it appears, is only a cousin. There soems to be no doubt that he has beon in the Utica Insace Asylum, but in his present conduct he seems to have had a good deal of method in his unit U0S9.

John H. Culyer failed as a Mediator. There is now pending iu Justice Walsh's Court aa abandonment case, in which Mrs. Charles P. Smith Bues her husband for support, Mrs.

Smith is a young, good looking blondo, of very neat appearance, and Smith is a man of 33, but looks much older. Two months ago, tho parlies kopt a small grocery store on the west atdo of Fiatbush, and did a thriving business. Trouble was caused in the housohold by a boarder named Norman Jones,) who is olorkj to the Prospect Pork Police. Jonos and his landlady, it Is said, were very intimate, and tho gossips 'of neighborhood told many Boandalous storios rogarding thom. Smith evidently loves his wife, and for a ilong time he re fused to bellovo anything that was said against hor.

Finally Smith drew up an of separation, whioh his wife signed. He allowed his business to go to wreck, and two months ago bo gavo up the storo and came to this city, taiung up ins residence at fto. lioo Carroll stroet. When her husband loft hor, Mrs. Smith wont to live at No.

88 Delfefb avenue. Soveral tfmos has timith and his frionds sont written communications to tho Park Commissioners, complaining that the police clerk exerted an improper influence over tbo woman and kept hor from her husband. Thore were no specific ahargos made against Jonos, and tho Commissioners could not take any action in tho mattor. These charges of Smiths grew In number, and at length Chief Enginoor John Y. Culyer determined to look into tho case.

Smith had beon to see him about tho affair, and when Mr. Culyer asked him If there had beon criminal relations existing between his wlfo and Jones. Smith Bald, I cannot believe that thero Although ho agreed to separate from the woman, it is evident that Smith wishos to live with her again, and that he would like to have Jones removed from his his path. Jones, as tho husband claims, has alienated his wife's affections from him, and ho thinks that if she could not see the handsome yonng Englishman that they oould again Jivo happily together. Before the police clerk made his appearance in tbo role of a boarder the lives of tho Smiths were like a Summer dream, but now their home is broken up, and tho wife appears in a police court as complainant against her husband.

Mr. John Y. Culyer, who Is vory anxious that no sta'n should rest on any of his subordinates, and thinking that he could straighten the matter, invited allot the parties to call at his houso last Saturday, so that he oould determine when he heard their different stories if it was a case in whlob he could properly Interfere. Smith expressed his willingness to be present, and was very much pleased to have Mr. Culyer tako an laterost in tho matter.

On Friday Mrs. Smith entered Justloo Walsb's Court, and asked Mr. Frank Qulnn, tho clerk, to issue a warrant for her husband's arrest, saying that HE HAD ABANDONED her and her child, leaving thom in destitute circumstances. Smith was Into custody and Justice Wabh admitted him to bail la the sum of $500. DEATH FROM BURNS.
