I can only thank yon, gentlemen, for trie high honor you have done me In nominating me for tne HBponBible and dignified office of Judge of this Court.

The Convention then adjourned. Sketch oS Judge Pratt's Life. The Hon. Calvin E. Pratt was born in Princeton, In 1828.

He studied law with Judge Henry Ciiaptn, of Worcester, and was admitted to the bar In 1853. He practiced tn Worcester untU 1869, when he commenced tho practloe of law in New York City. Judge Pratt took an active part In Massachusetts In military matters, and was eleoted Major of the Tenth Infantry, and placed on the. staff of Major General Hobba. In 1861 Judge Pratt raised the Thirty first Regiment, and went to the war.

He eerved with distinction in the Army of the Potomao, was wounded at Gaines' M1U, on May 27, 1862, and was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General in September of the same year. In 1863 he resigned on account of wounds received, from which he has not yet reoovered, and went into partnership with Mr. G. T. JenkB, then with Judge Emott and Mr.

J. M. Van Cott, and afterward with General Orooke and Colonol Bergen. He was the nominee of both political parties for Judge of tho Supreme Oonrt in 1869. THE CITJ COURT ADJOURNED.

Judge Calvin E. Pratt, of the Supreme Court of this State, was to day renominated for tho full term of fourteen years, by tho Judicial Conventions of both the Republican and Democratic parties, for the Judicial Department comprising Kings, Queens, Suffolk, Richmond, Westchester, Orange, Rockland, Putnam and Dutchess Counties, which assembled In this olty. The report of thia most notable and graceful act will bo found in other columns. It Is an act to be proud of and to be praised. To the system of an elective Judiciary it gives vindication.

To tho moral and mental soundness of the voterB of the Second Department, It is most creditable. To a learned, sterling. Just Judge, a gallant, patriotic soldier and a citizen of the beat type auoh as Calvin E. Pratt Is, the event is not Iosa than an abao luto honor, on account of the fact tha hie desert of It is as absolute as the honor. The Republican Judicial Convention made this great honor possible, and a fact.

That Convention was remarkable among Conventions for its quality. It measured up to the merit and oul turc and followed the appeal of such a courtly gentleman and jurist as Benjamin D. Siliiman, himself an honor to any party, and to the city and State in which ho lives. The sentiment with whioh his proposition was received was us noble and hearty as the proposition was of itself. Wo feel the freer thus to commend tho Republican Convention, because we doubt, in the case of a Republican Judge, tbat a Democratic Convention in this department would waive its party supremaoy as tho Republicans havo waived their party preferences.

For eight years on the bench, Judge Pratt has approved himself a model, almost an ideal judge. Fearless, just, diligent, Blmple, firm, learned, his acquirements have met the duties which his qualities have fitted, his bearing honored and his intuitive divining gifts inado luminous and characteristic Suitors, the public, the bench and tha bar havo alike had reason to confide la and admire him. The Signal tribute of trust, gratitudo, respect and affection paid him attests the excol loneo of his judicial character as thoroughly as any act could do which men oould perform. He carries in his faco 'a ball reccivod in defense of his country. Every breeze tbat visits him too routrhly, too keenly rominds him of that, but he carries in his hands and on his heart this day the evidence of a public regard and lovo which will make his countenance redder with blushes of pride and modesty combined than over tho tide of suffering made it tn the field.

An act worthy of the office, the official and tho people has been done in a way as felicitous and significant as compliment cou'd conceive or tho representatives of both parties cooperate to effect. ALDERMEN. Meeting of the Hoard This Afternoon. Xo New aines from the Mayor Tho Democrats United Roatlue and Other Uusi ness Transacted. The Aldermen resumed their regular weekly sessions tc day.

Tho approaching Democratlo StaU Convention and tho strifes of the local politicians absorbed so much interest this morning, around tho City Hall and Court Houee, that there was little gossip about the probabilities of the moeting this afternoon. It was believed, however, that the Mayor would not send la any further nominations until altor the election, when he hoped to capture some Democratic Alderman. Tho Democrats held a caucus at one o'clock this afternoon, and although nono of them would disclose what was done, it was ascertained that thoy remained united. The Republicans held no caucus.

The lilndsley liUivrence Case.

This morning Surrogate Dailey filed a decision in tho matter of the final accounting of James Lawrence and Seabury Lawrence, executors of the last wilt and testament of Henry Lawrence, deceased, who died in the early part of 1872, and whoso will was admitted to probate In April of that year. Among other bequests were $10,000 to his daughter, the wife of David Llndsloy $16,000 to his son Samuel, and $10,000 to his Bon Frank. It was also provided that any advances mode to legateos as shown by the testator's books of accounts should be deducted from the amounts bequeathed to them. On June 15, 1875, the executors filed their final accounting, but one of the legatees filed objections to tho accounting on the round that tho executors had not charged tho legatees with advances mado to them before the death of tbe testator. It was olaimcd that Samuol Lawronco had received about $12,000 aud Frank Lawrence about $10,000.

The case waB first heard bsfote Surrogate Voodor, who sustained the objections. Tho case was carried to the General Term of the Supremo Court, and re afllrinod, but whon heard by the Court of Appeals, tho decision was roveraod, Judge Church writing the opinion, ond tho cauBO was sent back for retrial. The ground of the revorsal by the Court of Appeals was that ihe books or aooount, whioh contain cortatn entries whioh tho Court admitted in evidence and which appearod sufficient to sustain the objootlous, were not to bo taken as true in tho absenoe of evidence aliunde In connection with the books. Accordingly a reboarlng of the case was had before Surrogate Dailey, who has JuBt renderod a decision. It appaars that the testator kopt no Boparato books, but kept Mb aocount with the Arm of Heary Lindsley Sons, of which he was a leading momber.

Certain amounts were found charged, which, It waa claimed, were aivanoes by the testator, and were so iu tonded by him, but the Court decldoa that they are not advancements under the will, and that tho amounts aro not to be doductol from tho Bhares of Samuol and Frank Lawrence, and the objoctlonB to the accounting are therefore dismissed.

The offloer oharod that he saw her parading the streets at all hours of the night, and had frequently warned her that he would arrest hor. The Judge asked her what she' had to say. "I'vo got nothing to Bay. That policeman is lying about me, and he knows it." "I don't think ho iB," said tho Judge, "and I shall plaoo you under $500 bonds to behave yoursolf in tho future, and In default of tho bonds I shall commit you to the House of the Good Shepherd." "I don't care a saucy roply, I'll bo a sight worse whon I come out Mary Fitts was next called.

She was arrested at three o'clock this morning by Officer Carpenter, who found her wrangling with a young man. Ho told her to go home and she refused, whereupon he arrested her. When asked what she had to sy in answer, 6he replied I wasn't, quarroling. I bad been out to East New York, and the young man that always keeps company with mo was briuin mo homo and he auJ 1 hud adit tie spat, when this officer ca'ne up and arrested mo. I told tho officer that the young man was my steady company and ho said ho was nothing but a loafer." 'That's rather a lato hour to come from East New New York Ihree "Woll, it was a matter of necessity." "I don't think that auy nec.ssity would induce a re tjirl to bo out at that hour.

The lady could not speak a word of English, and when she obtained the warrant she did so through tho Italian interpreter, Mr. Martclla.

She was very reticent as to the facts of tho assault. All that could bo ascertained by the reporter was that sho and Ravello havo beon courliug each other, and ho bc camo jealous of BOmo fancied rival. At any rate they had words last evening and quarrelod bitterly. Yuung Sarle finally bocame so maddened tbat bo drew a small pocket knife from hie vest pooket and stabbo! Antouia in the arm. Tho wound was dressed by a physician in tho vicinity and is not a dangorous one.

Young Rnrlo was committod to Raymond street Jail until to inorrow. when tho matter will come up for trial, A Voting man Killod by Blow on tho IDend Willi an Oar. John Handley, a young man who rcsiibd at No. 315 Water streot, is lying dead thero to day, and tho facts go to show that he was killed by violence.

The quarrel botweon thom resulted in Handloy being struck on the head with the heavy end of an oar. Right aftor tho assault Handley went homo and complained of his head, which waa bleeding profusely, and when questioned as to how It occurred, ho merely atntod that ho had had this quarrel In the boat. Sinco that time be has grown worso Bteadily, and all the efforts ot hia physician, Dr, Shaw, to aavo him, were usoless.

It Is expected that he will bo in custody this afternoon. At noon to day Dr. Shaw made a post mortem examination on the body ot the deceased, and found that the bkull was fractured and that the brain was clogged with ex travosated blood.

He certifies that the cause of death is hemorrhage of tho brain, superinduced by a violent blow on the head. Handloy is 18 yoars of age, and used to get his living alongshore. Tbe lnqueit will ba hold by Dr. Simms to morrow. A Woman shot by a Town Constable.

Mary H. MeKenzie, of Glen Cove, was sued for a grocery bill bofore Justice Frost, of tho Town of Oyster Bay, who gave judgment ogalnBt her, and fixed an elocution against her property.

The officer says that Mrs. McKeniie attacked him with a Baw, and that her three servants joined in the assault, armed with potato maahers and rolling pins. During the melee tho officer saya heJwiBBtruok Beveral times by the servants, but did not hoed them particularly, aa he had tho greatest fear ol Mrs.

McKeDzle and her saw. She did not Bncceed In injuring him at all, for tho reason, aa be tays, that to save his Ufa he was COMPELLED TO SHOOT HUB. The ball entered her tblgb, near the abdomen, and ao far the physicians have been unable to remove It. Mrs. McKenrle says that tbe officer frightened the people in and about the house with bit pistol; that he knooked her dowu with a blow ot bla fist, then plaoed one hand on her throat, with tbe other held the pistol to her head, Bwore most savagely, and threatened to blow her bralna out She aaya that while she lay helpless on the ground the officer shot her as stated.

She 1b corroborated by those who witnessed the affray. The wound Is an ugly and painful onp, but not necessarily fatal. This morning the officer was arreated on a warrant Issued by Justice Kir by, ot Roslyn. He was released on ball to appear for examlnati when Mrs. McKeDzle Is able to give evidence against him.

Tbe affair has oreated a great deal ot excitement la Glen Cove. Stabbing Affray. Two young men named Thomas Cassin and John Gatins last evening entored tho store of John MaxweU, at No. 97 North Sixth street, and aaked for cigars. After they were waited on they aaked the pro prietor to chalk it down, with the evident Intention of defrauding him.

Michael Brown, who was In the store, interfered in bohalf of the proprietor and a quarrel ensued. Shortly afterward Brown, Caasln and Satins left tbe store, and as Boon as they reaohed tho sidewalk Cassin knocked Brown down and kicked him In the face. Brown then regained his foot, drew a small pocket knife and out Caaain slightly in the ohoek. Brown waB arrested. In Juattoe Elliott's Court this morning he gave bonds to appear for examination.

ut Local JPoliti.es and Politicians. Tbe "IndependenU" in Doleful Damps. Sloeam Tarns His Back Upon Them. The Regular Delegation The Dead Look In the Third District Senator Jacobs on Tweed. There were eight of them and they styled tbemselvcB the only regular Demooratlc delegation from Einga County to the Albany Convention.

They were Beated in the dreary Committee room over Cohen's beer saloon on Fulton street, opposite the Hail, this morning, making arrangements for their departure for the State Capitol. Charley Ensign waa the temporary ohairman of the Interesting gathering, and in front of him were Dan Bradley, Walter L. Livingston, N. McGregor Steele, Geo. Brower, John Cunningham, A.

Tan Wyck and a sleepy looking fellow with a wart on his nose, who Is yet unknown to fame. The "only regular Dtmooratlc delegation" wanted a leader. Their Interview with General Slooum on Saturday rendered jj. very doubtful whether he wonld consent to accompany them to Albauy. The General has been hunted day and night by theso worthies who have endeavored to FOBOE HIM TO OO.

Some of them even went at him on Sunday, but notwithstanding all their talk, their vague intimatlone of what they would do If he refused, ho declined to consent to go. This morning, the meeting was held mainly for the purpose of appointing a committee to wait upon him again, and make a final appeal to him. The Chairman explained to an Eagle reporter, tbat many of the delegates who had been elected wero absent, but that all, with perhaps an exception or two, would attend' the Convention. Dan Bradley offered to bet a live dollar hat that Slooum would go as a delegate, and he was certain that General Pryor wonld attend In a similar oapaoity. Messrs.

Cunningham aud Steele were appointed to wait upon General Slocum, and while they were out looking for him, their fellow dele galos talked about their departure. It was decided that I thoy should start to nlcht by boat. Mr, Ensign Bald that THEIR HEADQT7ABTEHS I would be at Congress Hall. He intended, however, 1 to follow the advice of tho Eagle and take a room at the Delevan House. Rooms for headquarters had al iaarlv hflin flflMirM nt.

PnTirjrpRH HalL Dan Bradley Bald that it would be best to go tonight, as they would In all probability havo an opportunity on the boat to talk with some of the Tammany men. The sleepy fellow with tho wart on his nose suddenly aroused htmsalf and made a remark about belug a ''little short." The temporary Chairman frowned upon him and glanced nervously in the direction of the reporter. Dan Bradley ohanged the Bubject, remarking that this was very fine weather just the time that he Wiuld liko to be roaming the fields or the forests. I Tho sleepy fellow with the wart on his nose muttered that he thought it was just about time to go below i stairs and throw fn a "bracer." There was no re sponse. None of the solid men were present, The reporter left the "only regular delegation" talk Ing about their trip, and started for tho City Hall in search of the committee who had gone to see Slocum.

He met the General opposite the Dime Savings Bank, and asked him SLOOUM WILL NOT GO. "Have you made up your mind whothor to go to Al bany or not 1" "I am not going," replied the Genoral. "By tho way, have you seen any of those fellows over at the Hall this morning 7" referring to the ex Slocumites. The reporter replied that he had seen Steele dodging about tho Hall earlier In the day and that the General would probably find him over there. The Ueneral smiled In a sad sort of a way and went over to the Hall.

There was Steele, suro enough, and with him Cunningham. They went at the General, took blm into his private office and appealed to him not to go baok on him. Tho interview waa a brief one, but it must havo been earnest on both Bides. Sionum camo out with a flushed faoe and smoking vigorously. Tho Committee scowled and hurried away.

When questioned as to what had transpired, Cunningham had the temerity to say that the subjeot of the convention had not been talked about at all. Genoral Slooum said that they had asked him to aot as a delegate and ho had declined. He added: "I want to get out of THIS DIBTI POOL OF POLITICS. J.do not want to get in this political strife. I want to be let alone.

I consider that my proper place is hero in Brooklyn, attending to my duties." "Then you will not go to tho Convention asked the reporter. "No, sir; I will not," replied tho General. The Committee reported the result of their interview to their colleagues in writing, and the "only regular delegation" hurriedly adjourned to meet at the boat this evening. They will caucus at CoBgreBs Hall tomorrow morning. President Smith, Jim Ridgway, Dan Bradley aud Walter L.

Livingston havo beeu spoken of as Chairman of the delegation. They all protended to be confident tbat their delegation will be admitted. They want a now State ticket. THE BEGULAB DELEGATION will not leave Brooklyn until to morrow morning. They will go on the half past 10 o'clock train from the Grand Central depot, and their headquarters will bo at the Delevan House.

They do uot anticipated being denied admission to the Convention and look upon tho preteiiBionu of the ox Flloomiilteo ao Biuapty prcpoiiter cus. There has been little talk thus rar among tne delegates or the politicians in regard to the State Committee, but from all that has been said, it would appoar that there Is an inclination to reappoint Messrs. Veeder and Nolan in the Second and Fourth Districts, respectively. There is somo opposition to Mr. Fowlor in tho Third Dlfl trict, based upon a feeling that ho hoe beon on the Committee long enough.

Mr. B'owler he beon a member of tho Stato Committee for a number of years, and Is ono of tho mo3t notivo memberu. Messrs. Veeder and Nolan havo served muoh less time. The position of the Kings Couuty delegation Is pretty well understood.

They will uphold Governor son and Mr. Tilden and tho leaders will confer with the Governor as to the make up of tho ticket. The Third District Deadlock. The Democrats of tho Third Assembly District have not yet settled the disputed quostion as to who shall represont them at the Albany Convention, Tho delegates from the Twelfth Ward declared to day that they wonld not recede from the position which thoy have taken. Ou Saturday night the representatives of the Twelfth Ward in tho convention claimed two of the three delegated to tho State Convention, offering the Sixth Ward ono dologate to tbo State and one to the Judiciary Convention.

The Sixth Ward delegates made a similar claim for their part of tho district. After an extended conference tho Sixth Ward men agreed to allow the olalm of the Twolfthand intimated that their delegate would ha Hon. Thomas Einsella. This action was takon without Mr. Kinsella's knowledge or coubo nt.

It was not his dosire or his intention to attend the Convention as a delogate, owing to km impaired health, resulting from a long itluese. His Dem ocratlo neighbors In the Sixth Ward thought, however, that in a crisis liko the present, when the party organization is attacked and a determined fight is being made against Einge County, tbat ho should represent thom in Albany. Tho delegates in oouvorsation pro. vious to the Convention exprossed this dosire. The mention of Mr.

Kinsella's name provoked considerable opposition from tho Twelfth Ward men, Miko Coffey and ex Supervlaor Shoridan being especially piououncod In their objeotions. Their opposition, it is believed, was because of the Eaolh's exposure of tho tactics of the Donovan party in tho Board of Aldermen, and the intrigues of Coffey and Sheridan for political advancement. Finding after repeated efforts that no aatisf aotory oonolusion could be reached tho Convention adjourned until this ovouing. The Democracy of the Sixth Ward still desire that Mr. Kiuaclla Bhall represent them In the State Convention.

Among the other gentlemen mentioned as probable delegates aro Chiof Engincor Thomas F. Novins, Assemblyman Shanloy and Assessor Roche. Tho TvreUth Ward mea want to send Supervisor Curran and ex Supervisor Sheridan to the Convention. The action of the Twelfth Ward delegates has given rise to considerable Indignation in conaequenoe of the failure of the Convention to elect a delegate to tho Judiciary Convention which mot to day. It was necessary to present the namo of Zachary Voorhees as a delegate.

An effort wilt be made this evening by tie delegates to settle their differences. Senator Jacobs on Tweed. An Eaole reporter this afternoon asked Senator Jacobs his opinion of the latest tosttmony ot Tweed, especially that portion relating to himself and hlB aotlon as Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means of the Assembly. The Senttor Bald that the testimony was correct bo far aa he was concerned. At tbe time referred to no one suspected Tweed of dishonesty.

He was tbe leader of the Democrats In the Legislature, and of course It waa necessary for htm to oommunlcate with the Chairman of the Committee on WayB and Means when he wanted a measure passed. In the same year, said Mr. Jacobs, I fought him on tbe charter matter. Yon will ee by a reference to the testimony that he makes no charge againBt me, but on the contrary denied very emphatically that I or my colleagues ever received anything from him. Eleventh Ward for Howell.

A workingmen's association has been formed in the Eleventh Ward to forward the intererts of James Howell as a candidate for tbe Mayoralty. A preliminary meeting was held at No. 329 Gold street, on the evening of Thursday last, and another will be held on Wednesday evening of tbia week.

Siliiman, of Kings, Bpoke as folloWB SPEECH BY MB. 8I17LIMAN. Mn. Chairman I am glad to think that tho senti mouts expressed by yourself, aro tho sentiments of tbo Convention. This body is chargod with a duty ol graver and higher character than that which dovolves on moBt political conventions.

Tboir is. for the most part, merely of selecting oandidates for political offices, the functions of which are chiefly routine and limited, aud their terms of brief duration. But wo are to aeluct ono who, for the long period of fourteen years, Is to sit in the judgment to administer thelawe; to determine the rights of follow men; one whoso injunction and whoso man late, must bo respect ed and oboyed by all. In thia government of law, the learning, the purity, tho impartiality, the ability and wisdom of the judiciary aro essential are indis pensible to tho well of society. Ou this point there is, happily, no difference ot principle or opinion between tho political parties, which in other renpects divide tun country.

Whichever is predominant generally seeks to plnco tho eriinno on the shouldors or its fittoBt and beBt and wo find nowhere a disposition to lower the standard of judicial excellence. The great experiment wag made by tho Constitution of 1846 of substituting an elective, in plac. of an nppointod judiciary. Wo all know by tradition and some of us by reool leotion the deep anxiety that wag felt by great numbers of good men of all parties, lent tho independence of ttfr judiciary should bo overthrown by the change, and lest tho judges should become but party politicians on tho bench in administering the laws: the Inst.tum nts of tbo other party politicians to whom thoy would owe their places. At tho fl; at nomination for Judges of tbo Court of Appeals under the new constitution (of 1846) au earnest effort was made to avert such results by avoiding a preponderance ot either party on tho bench.

To this end tho con ventions of the two great parties were hold on the same day and at ttie same place (Syracuse) This was thirty yoars ago Juno OT. 1817). The Whig Con vention, after much consideration, passed resolutions nominating full ticKoYof judges nu her to be eloct id). each Convention Bbould nomiuato but two: that it should submit the two names It might select to the other convention, ana it tne canuututcs so submitted should bo acceptable to tho other, tho two Co.iventiouB should agree on and make a joint nomination ot the four candidates thus choson. Had this plan been adopted the Court would, of course.h&vo consisted of two Whigs and two Democrats.

resolutions were eubmitted to tho Democratic Coavoution, which, aftor debate, declined conourreuce, and the result was tho nomination by each Convention of a separate ticket, the Whigs naming Frodk. Whit RocheFtor, B. Davis Noxou, Syracuse, Marcus T. Reynolds, Albauy, and Ambrose L. Jordan, Hudson, and the Democrats naming Qreone C.

Br Utlca, Madieon Gardii. Ro hostor, Freobi ra G. SWineatolos, and Chas. H. Rugglos, Poughkespsie.

From that day to this wo may claim for the Whin party and for tho Republican party a Bteady porsevoi once in the endeavor to preserve the Bench from partisan ludges, and to aeoure and maintain tho high and spot leas character of tho judioiary. In tho choice wo have now to make we can havo but the Bame purpose. Nothing under our prosen system can more tend to promote tho indopoudonco of the judiciary than tho re election, without reference to party, of any Judge who, in administering hiB hlah office, has held tho scales with even hand has beon absolutely impartial and known no favorites; who has been diligent and efficient in tho dispatch of business; who has brought to the performance of hia duties clearness and strength of mind, muscular oominon sense, pationco In listening to argument, thoroughness In the investigation of cases, laborious study, sound judgment and uprightness, and who, by bia dignity, courtesy and kindness, has scoured tho respect and attachment of the bar. The re election of such a Judge is due to him and to the public welfare, aud is ot good cheer to those who follow hlB example. 1 bellovo, Mr.

Chairman, that tho bar of the whole nine oountioa composing this great district conour with one voico In awarding to Judge Pratt tho career and the character whioh I have described. I confess that, aa a Republican, it does not detraot lrom my regard for aud confldenoa in Judge Pratt, that durlna the rebellion he bore so faithful, gal ant and brilliant a part as a General in the army of the Union. It Is true that auch Bervice may not olaim Judicial atation as its reward, but the Bame fidelity, boldness and firmness of oharacter whioh made him distinguished in the field are, as we have seen, invaluable qualities in a Judge upon tho bench. Mr. President, I beg leave to nominate for re eleotion as a Judge of the Suprema Court for this dlBtrict, the Hon, Calvin C.

Pratt. Applause.) Mr. W. E. 8.

Fales, of Kings said: Mr. ChaibmahAb the oldest and best kn iwn delegate in the Convention haa renominated Judge Pratt, it may be fitting that the youngest and least known delegate should second the nomination, as in some sort representing the yonagee members of the bar, who can bear testimony to hia constant courtesy, forbearance and Justioe. Hon. L. Bradford Princa indorsed the nomination and moved that it be mado by acclamation.

At this point a committee entered the room from the Democratic Convention and announced that the Convention whioh they represented had juBt renominated Judge Calvin Pratt. The Chair thanked tho Committee for its oouxteBy and the Committee withdrew. Mr. Prinee'a motion was then adopted. The motion tben reourred on the nomination of Judge Pratt by Mr.

William, whioh waa oar rled by aoolamatlon and received with applause, On motion a committee ot five was appointed to notify the Democr tio Convention of the action just taken by the Bepublloan Convention. Messrs. Prince, Ward, Close and Avory were nominated aa suoh committee. On motion the Democratic Convention waa invited to join with the Republican Convention to receive Judge Pratt in the room where the Convention was Bitting. On motion a CommitU of three, was appointed to notify the candidate ot his nomination.

The Chair appointed Messrs. Siliiman, Butts and Carpenter as euch Committee. Thoy retired, and during tboir absenoe the members of the Democratic Convention entered the room. Shortly after the Joint Committee of the two Conventions entered the room, escorting Judge Pratt, who was received with applause. Mr Siliiman presented him to tho Chairman, saying, "We have the honor to present the Hon.

Calvin E. Pratt, who haa been Jointly nominated by the whole distriot for the office ol Supreme Court Judge. On behalf of the Democratic Committee Hon. Jacob Bergen made a slmlltr announcea ent. The Chair invited Judgo Pratt upon the bench, where i 1 MONDAY EVESISG.

"Trustworthy information bad been receive! hero tbat Osraon PBna has repulsed a Russo Roumanian atiaok on bis front and left, inflicting heavy losses.

Tbis scorns to arfree with the report pnbllahed in the Constantinople newspapers yesterday, that Oeman Pasha had defeated the Roumanians before Plevna, but there ii no more reason to boliove ono than the other. The Standard' details resemble tho flcbt of Septembor 11 tn 18 remarkably.

Captain Tough, formerly United States Marshal for the Western District of Kansas, who bad been selected as leader of the posse, commanded Ifarfnian to halt, and was answered by a pistol ahot. The posse was then ordered to fire over hie head, which was done, and Harlman replied with two shots from his revolver.

The train then returned to Circleville, wLero it was met by a great crowd i strikers, and a warrant was sworn out against Captain Tough, who was arrested but released on his own recognizances. At Holton the train was conironted by anuther body of strikers who took possession of the switch and declared they would not let the train pass unless the posse surrendered Captain Tough to them This, of course, was not done, and the ain backed out.

Subsequently the posBe left ihe train, marchod into Hollon, and took up quarters in tbo hotel, which was soon surrounded by armed sinkers, but finding that the pa so was isell prepared for them they did not attack the boure.

Yosterday afternoon Officer Hahn, of the Thlrty Biioond freclnot, New York, discovered a youug Cuban, who used to reside at No. 81 Fulton street, Brooklyn, and whoso namo was subsequently ascertained to bo Rlcardo Bruuotte, sitting ou a lodge of rocks at High Bridge, near the aqueduct and on the lino of One Hundred and Sixty fifth street, Bruuetto was bleeding freoly from a bullet wotiud in tho heod and the pistol with which he had Bhot himself lay by his side. The spot whore ho was found ts a very lonely ono, shaded as it is by tho woods above it, nnd tbe only thing that led to the dlsoovory of tho young man was tho fact that tho officer hoard him groan while the former waa patrolling along Ono Hundrod and Sixty fifth street. Tho officer spoke to the youug man, who was at this time conscious, aud asked hiiu what his namo was. In brokon English ho replied, Mo baf no pisness, me lticardo." ''Where do you livo?" was tbe next ijuestion.

"No. 81 Fulton streot, Brooklyu."

Whon questtoucd by the physicians as to tho reason why ho had ciimmittod the act, bo would make no reply except that he hail no business, from which It was mforro.l that be was iu destitute circumstances.

Ho need to live with his brotbos at the above number, but ho rarely ltopt auy employment long on account of his irregular habits. When ho made any money it was hia habit to spend It In dissipation. At last ho became home siok and wanted hta brother to give him monoy enough to go back to Cuba, and when the latter did so lticardo only wasted It lu extravagance.

He thon sot to work to earn enough to tako him to nls native land, but his dissolute habits always got tho best of htm and finally bo waB unable to got work. He has not resided in Brooklyn for over a year, since which time he has been subsisting In a pecarious manner in New York, He waa last cmployod by a cigar manufacturer in Maiden lane named Briniardi, but was discharged by httn a couple of weeks ago. Five days ago lticardo oallod upon his brother In Brooklyn and was in a very despondent mood, He said ho was in ill luck and that he would nover bo able to reaoh Cuba again. His brother roforred to tho fact that hia own irregular habits had dono more to prevent his return tbcro than any 111 luck. When ho was going away he bid hiB brother goodby and suid that all hia hopo of doing anything was gone, aud that tho future was black for him.

But this morning, of all others, the work of caloimin lng the corridors of the Court House on which the Court rooms open was going forward, and consequently the floor waa Uttered with mud, lime and dirt, which was tracked In all directions In and out of the Court room and over the carpets by the feet of the hurrying crowd. In one of tha City Court rooms a new carpet had just been put down, and it would be in a protty condition altor an hour or two of treading by the lime stained feet of the lawyers and others, as they came in out of the corridors.

In view of these facts, after the panel of jurors had been called in the CitysCourt, Judge Reynolds spoke as follows I want to make an announcement beforo I hear excuses of jurors that may have some effect upon the applications for excuses. Tho Supervisors, it Boems, this morning have commenced a work in the halls hero which renders it improper to ocoupy these court rooms while that work is proceeding. Wo have partly new furniture here, and what is not new is clean we hope, and the halls are rendered ao dirty by this work thatjwe think (t would be improper to hold court until this Job is alittle out of the way. Why It waB commenced on the first Monday of October rather than at somo other timB during the Summer, I am not able to say, but it seomB they were not able to do it sooner. I propose to ADJOTJBN THB OOTJBT until Wednesday morning to give the contractor an opportunity to got the work out of the way, so that we can hold oourt in the rooms without injury to tho fur nituro.

We cannot do it now. 1 will hear exsusea of jurors, and aftor those excuses are disposed of the jurors who are retained for the week will come on Wednesday morning, to whioh time the Court will adjourn after preliminary business is transacted. I will also oall the calondar, so that members of the bar In cases on to day's calondar may make some disposition of them by sotting them down for such times as they desire, either to be taken up on Wednesday morning or somo other day. Tho jurors who do not desire to be excused may leave now. Tho excuses of tho jurors were then heard aud passod upon, and after the call of the calendar tho Court adjourned until Wednesday next, SPORT O.N GOW4iNUSBAr.

Turning the stake boat ahead of the Corinne, the Wind giadually lncroasod hor lead. The wind, east, northeast, waa favorable to the boats going down, but coming up, It was dead in their teeth, and thoy had to make long tacks. TheWind turned the judges' boat at 3:28.23, and the Corinne went around at Without at any time Increasing or decreasing the distance between. each other, the boats wont down along the Long Island shore, and turned the stake boat. At this time tho wind began to blow in fitful gusts and the ido was against tho boats aa they came up.
