an liureu streot, In Iho City of Brooklyn. I object to tho resolution for the 'roason that, in violation of tho Fire laws and contrary to the re solution of your Honorablo Body of October 44, LSS7 (see printed minutes, page giving permission to William Nnglo to build a truiue shed ou Van Bureu streei, between Lewis avenuo and Stuyvesant avonuo, "thore has been erected a two story frame building, endangering the property ami against tho expressed wish and protest of adjoining owners."

If such bo tho purpono, tbo terms aro loo vague and indefinite. The resolve should specify the amount ol money to bo appropriated ami tho fund to be charged. It is not ou iho lino of sound public policy to authorize or to apparently author ize an unlimited expenuiiur.i ot tho public money.

While I am ready to co oporato in every step necessary to the erection of a fit token to tho soldier dead, I am bound to see to it that this resolution should conform tosound principles. I will approve 01 any n'soiuuou which meets mo objections stated, and which la necessary to tho establishment of a memorial to those who laid down their lives that tho nation might live. Respectfully, D. D. Whitney, Mayor.

An Eaiilb roportor called upon Mr. Miller at hia place of business, 32 Uuokman streot, Now York, this morning, aud asked him if ho would be willing to anticipate iho contents of tho roport to bo mado by tho comniittoe. 1 cannot do that," was his roply, as it ia propor that tho report should bo mado to tho Board first. I will say this, however.

Tho committee is unanimously of Iho opinion that should be mado to resign. It has como to this conclusion solely upon a fair and Impartial Investigation of tho caso. Miss is not fitted for the position sho holds. Politics has nothing to do with it. Why, ten years ago tho tesidents of that school district asked for her removal upon tho ground of Incompetency.

Since that time two committees beside tiio ono of which 1 am now chairman havo asks I for Mi Mcr.t,' So you see that this decision of ours Is nothing new. We have nothing outrageous to chargo against ber; we feol simply Hint she is incompetent and tho school is not up to the standard. All tho Inlk about Iho caso has been made by Miss Morris' so called friends. Wo have kopi quint." Tho following letter has beou received by General Tracy, Morris counsel, from F. L.

The Death of ft Young Servant Girl, Be lieyed to Have Committfld Suicide, Re called An Unsigned Admission.

On the morning of Friday, Juno 3, last, Mary Jane Cox, a girl 18 years old who had boon employed as a domestic for some months at HO Prince street, was found dead in the kitehon. Sho was clad only in ner uignt clothes, ana was soniou a cnair near cne smic. ano nau vomneu excessively both in her own room and in tho kitchen. In her dross pocket, which whs banglug in hoi' bodroom, was found a uraall ilask half full of a liquid which afterward turned out to bo a solutiou of rough, on rats. An account of her death was published in the afternoon papers and also tho statement that she had lu all probability committed suicide.

Tho samo night as Officer Ryan, of tbo Second Precinct, was staudiug at tho corner of York and Fulton street he was accosted by a young man, evi doutly very drunk, who said that his namo was John Dolanoyand that ho had come from Now York to give himself up for murder. When asked whom ho had killed bo said his victim was Mary Jmw Cox and that ho had bought rough on rats for hor. Detoctlvo Campbell came up while tho conversation was going on and after putting somo questions to Delauoy arrested him and took him to tho Y'ork street station. There bo told pretty much tho samo story to Sergeant McCarthy. As the death of tho Cox cirl had occurred iu the First Procinct tho prisoner w.13 tho same night turned ovor to Captain Campbell with whom he had a long talk.

This long talk bad sobered hi in up somowhat, and ho doaiod a good deal of what ho had previously said. He did admit, however, that ho had bought tho poison for Mary Cox, but claimed that he did not know what she wanted it for. Ho was held nnd produced at tho inquest, which was held by Coronor Roouey on the following Monday night. On tho stand ho sivoro that ho had met tho deceased on Fulton streot about oight months previously. She had asked Lira to call on l.or at 1 10 Prince street, and ho lutd frequently done so and had gone out walking with hor and to vari 003 plaeos of amusement.

Ho havlug betrayed hor and said the Intimacy had been kept up with tne understanding that bo was to marry hor. Ho mot hor by appointment several times at tho Keystone Houso, at Third avenuo and One Hundred and Twonty fifth street, New York, where ho was then employed in some menial capacity. In answer to a letter writton by him Mary had mot him on the Thursday nlht beforo hor death and somo quarrol had ojcurrod between them. He saw her homo, however, and thought nothing moro about tho few words they had had. Ho swore poaltivoly that he had not bought ber any po ion, and that ho must havo been drunk if ho said to anyone that lie had douo so.

Several witnosses testified to the girl's good character and said that sho had not tho disposition of 0110 likely to commit suicide. Tho Jury after being out about haif an hour brought in a verdict that tho girl had died from poisou and that Delauoy was roponsiblo for her deatli. Tho prisoner was committed to lall by tho Coroner in consequence of this verdict, but when tho Grand met shortly afterward il failed to find any indictment against him and ho was discharged, it was the general opiuiou at the tlmo that Dolanoy had had a very lucky escape, but there win practically nothing against him except hi own words uttered whon drunk and subsequently denied.

Ho was shown into the inner office, but did not at first say who he was and the captain ha i for gotten his feature). Ho stario olf by asking what punishment a man would receive who cavo to another person poison with the knowledge that such poison was to bo mod for a felonious purposo. no was iota mat an act ot this uaturo was a very sorious offense and that tho punishment would de pend a irood doal on Ho talked in a man llin way for a long time and Iheu sai 1 that his nam was John J. Delauoy and that ho could toll a good deal about tho death of Mary Jane Cox if certain conditions which ho should propose woro agreed to.

Captain Campbsll replied that ho would enter into no bargain whatever with him, and if ho had anything to say ho must say it unreservodly. Delaney shook hi3 bead and left aayiug that he would return tho following evening and havo another talk about tho matter, and also that he would bring with him a girl named Carney, who was possessed of somo valuable information relating to tho alleged suicide of Miss Cox. He did go to tho station houso again last night, but alone. Ho was moro uudor the influence of liquor than ho had been the evening beforo and a good deal moio communicative. Ho again tried to get the captain to make certain promises in caso he made cortalu revelations, and bolug again refused, burst into lears and said that he was really tho murdorerof Mary Jano Cox.

Ho said be had never had a moment's poaca night or day sluco her death, and that he wanted to give lilmsolf up to Justice, lie thou dictated what ho callod a confession which was taken down by tho captain. After rolating in detail how ho made tho acquaintance of thodeceased and tho clrcumstancos of hor betrayal, he said that on tho Thursday night previous to the supposed suicide, when be mot the girl at the Kcytouo Houso in Now York, sho told him that shethought she was likely to bocomo a mother, aud asked him to procure for her somo drug which would prevent her being brought to shame. Ho agreed to her proposal, ho said, and got from tho night clerk, whom ho called simply Goorgo, a small flask. Then he wont to a drug store and bought a packet of Rough on fiats for 1' cents. Ho put half tho powdor in tho fiak and, having mixed with water iu the presence of Goorgo and auothor clerk, name! Frank McKoon, gave it to U10 girl.

"Wore you aware of tho effect this inixturo would have?" asked tho captain. "Yea," was tho reply;" I know it was going to kill hor." Among othor things that ho said after this was that Fraek McKoon had been to see him while ho was iu Raymond street Jail, and had told him that ho could eud him to tho gallows if lie woro so disposed. Tho confession was read ovor to Delauoy and ho slid it was all right, but when asked to sign it ho obstinately refused to do so. He had said enough, howover, to Justify his arrest and ho was accordingly locked up. Detectives wore sont ovor to the Koystono House this afternoon to soe the two mon McKeon, and if thoy confirmed what Delaney has said things will look vory black against the young man.

An effort is also bomg mad to find the girl Carney. Thore is somo suspicion that Doianey is not iu bis right mind, and Captain Campbell said to day: "Had I not known that thore was a good foundation for tbo man's story 1 should have Judgod from his mannor that he was ready for F'latbush at anytime" ROL'Gli OX CHICKENS.

Thomas purchased tho property on which he lived, as well as considerable other real estate ia that neighborhood. For some years ho carried on the business of carpenter and builder, and at the same time paying much attention to farming. Ha was known as a man of remarkably good memory.

and had tho reputation of being able to tell more of tho history of Brooklyn than any half dozen men in tho city. To listen to him was liko listening to a reader from a book. Ho would tako daily walks, and used to bo a conspicious figure undor a maple troo on tho corner of Forty ninth Htreot and Fifth avonue. He was a member of tho Forty seventh street Methodist Chureh. Ho neither smokod nor drank ami he invariably retired at sundown.

Beforo day break ho could bo seen working In tho yard. Ha did not take much Interest in polities, but when he voted it was the Republican ticket. Ho preferred to live by Mmself, having beeD a widower for the past eight years. He resided iu a small one story house facing on a lano running between Forty ninth and Fiftioth streets, near Fifth avenue, doing almost the entire work of tho house himself. Ha did not like to bo called an old muu and repeatedly said that he thought he would like to bo 125 years of age.

HOIST BY niS OWN PETARD. Judge Van Wyck Decides Airaiust Pastor White on the f.attcr's Statement. The Rev. Joseph J. White brought suit in City Court, at Special Term, bef Judge Van Wyck, against tho First Methodist Protestant Church to sot aside the conveyance of tho Fourth treet Church to tho Grand iret Methodist Prot estant Church on tho ground of fraud.

Mr. Whlto conteudod that while he had an action ponding against the trustees of tho Fourth street Church for salary due him they obtained au ion of tlmo and then mado tho transfer of tiio nronertv for $10,000. The premises so convoyed, White alleged, wero worth $15,000, for speculative purposes and $20,000 for chureh purposos, aud thnt but $9,500 was paid on the alleged purcha pri Mr. White subsequently bought the Fourth street Church at foreclosure sale for $12,600, aud now holds servico therein. This morning Judge Van Wyck handed down a lengthy opinion In tho case, in which ho decided against Pastor White, holding that the convoyanco was good.

Among othor things tho Judge In his opinion says: "If, as Mr. White allegos, the church proporty is worth fl.r,000 for speculative purposes then Mr. Whito has a clear profit of $2,500, and if it i i worth $20,000 for church purposes his profit is $7,500. as he is now using Iho property for that purpose." He also decides that tiio conveyance was mado after the servico in the church had been discontinued and after a real estate agent had in vain tried to sell the property, so that uo fraud was contemplated.

Tho flags on Iho White House and the flag on the Capitol bail one another ia a breeze as warm as that of a May day. Banners also fly from all the public buildings and from many business structures ami privato residences. TI10 aveuuo is gay with equipages filled with distinguished men and women win) aro on their way to tho opening of Congress. There has covor boon so largo a number of renowned straugors in Washington on a like occasion. Tho members of the British Fisheries Commis.

ion with their suite of clerks and their members of Parliament, who are to promote arbitration as a means of ensuring peaeo between nations, have been gtvon places uf honor by President John I. Iugalls, of tho Senate, and by Speaker Carlisle. Tbo diplomatic gallery is tilled with representatives of foreign legations and the mamhpn' galleries, with tho families of Senators and fills the rest of the space and me Honrs, 11:0 lobbies and 'the corridors aro repleto and well nigh Impenetrable with the throngs. Over a hundred of the members of tho House are new men. The proportion is unusually largo.

Tho novices aro taken in chargo by older men and are introduced to their coll vigues. Tho doorkoepors for oneo wear a glum look. Tho election of a new doorkeeper means tho removal of nearly all tho 130 underlings who officiate to day with badly concealed ill humor. Tho sceuos of former opening days repeat themselves. Speaker Cnrli lo is the center of observation and tho recipient of congratulations.

Tom lieed, tho Republican Pa ier, moves eccentrically ar.itmd In a roly poly fashion, lie has a st a salutation for all. The ors last olected Peldoii, of and Charles Trace; of Albanyhave received their thank, to the expeditious action of tho New York State Canvassing Beard, and were put on the roll to lay. S. V. White, who Is known to many members, sits modestly to tho left of Chair, an! has a sulucss of feature to show how seriously the cares of state rest on tils Delaware and Lackawanna forehead.

Herbert, of Alabama; MeOreary, of K' ntucky; the frturdy Randall, Pat Colli ay, of Ma sa. lmsetts, and the BreckiurMco of Arkansas and Kentucky, are tho most favciv with floral tritts. The vene raldo and emaciated William D. Kelloy, of Pennsylvania, 'Mho ithor of the has dragged hims If from bod to adminlst tho oat', to the Sijeaker, and grimly says: ''The House could not bo properly organized without me." Ho is entering on his fourteenth consecutive term, flan tail is entering on his thirteenth and Charles OW'oil oil bis twelfth. They are all from Philadelphia.

Tho New York City delegation, other than llourke Cockrau, attract little attention, an 1 the familiarity of tho Houso with tho Brooklyn delegation, other than S. V. White, causes Campbell and iiss to bo not rcgardol with paluful or embarrassing attention. "Nothing is so talked about in th" lull as the fisticuff row in the caucus on Saturday night. Tho night before at Willtird's, at the reception 10 secretary of Sta.o Cook, of York, tho a broko up in a fight and oivntosn Democratic hangers on wero run into tho station house.

This was followed by the run in on Saturday night between Blount and P.reeLonridge, of Arkansas, over doorkeeper The Republican otfered to appoint an Arbitration Committee to pa.ify Demo cratic belligorents. It is noted as curious tlia llonolson is tho nephew of Sam DoaelHon who stumped Tennessee for John C. iireekoaril acamst Andrew ksou nielson. his brotiier, who ran for viCiM'rosi lent on the Fillmore ticket loti.

Breckeuridge. Tho so. is aro not as loving toward one another as their fathers were. Congressman Mahoney has boon called homo by (lie of his sister Julia in New York City, lie Is paired with a Republican. Precisely at is, as too clerk called tho mombors to order, a crank arose in the gallery at the ox tromo right of tho Speaker's chair and said or was understood to say, "sing all at too opening of tho American Congress." All eyes wore turned toward him.

He was tall, lean, gaunt, with sharp features and stringy blonde beard, lie struck up the loa; meter doxology: Praise God from whom all blowings flow, Pralso Him nil creatures here 'low, Pre.iso Hire, aljov. ye heavenly host, Praise Father, so 1 and Holy Ghost. He finished tito quartraiu in a high and not un musical voice beforo any door keeper could stop him and then quietly sat down, tho floors and the galleries meanwhile rocking with laughter at tho Incongrous proceeding no other disturbance occur rod. The roll call of the members on. tho election of speaker took forty fire minutes.

Mr. Carlisle's remarks wore woll conceive 1 and well received. The swearing in of the mmibors by groups then followed, notably fe.v absentees being rocordol. The election of the other onicers on tho Domoeralic list was offocted in a lump. Committees wore appointed to notify tho Proai dent that Congress was orgaui.ed and wiil report, ns has been agreod on and announce 1, that ho will communicate with them in writing to morrow.

The drawing of Fonts then proceeded as in the following manner, tho Brooklyn members gcttln. good places: Tho ivory balls v. hicli have boon used for that in years past were looked ovor and any missing ones wero replaced by new ones. Each ball was numbered from one to three hun dredaud thirty throe. Inclusive, tho exact number of members and delegates.

When every ball was found to bo correctly numbered they were placed lit a sauaro box with a round aporturo in tho top large enough to admit the hand. Tho box was then eecuroly wrapped and sealed and placed in tho chief cleric's office until tho time for the drawing arrived. It was then taken to the dk in the hall of the houso and the seals were brokou In tho presence of tho members. All tho scats were then vacated and tho members retlrod to tho vacant spaco lu tho rear of tho scats. A page was selected and blindfolded to draw tho balls one by ono from tho box.

As each ball was drawn the number thereon was callod by ono of tho clerks. Auothor clork was stationed by his fide, who had a list wdiich contained the names of every member and delegate with a number opposite each name. When tho number on tho ball was called out tho list was referred to and tho mombors found wdiich corresponded with that on the ball. Tho mombors name opposite, was thou called and bo steps lorward and selects his seat for tho Congress. This onded the proceedings for the day in tho bouse and tho popular branch of tho fiftieth Congress eompleted tho first dtly of its first session.

ypeakor Carlisle's address is held to agree with his private assurances that a tariff reduction bill will be passed by the votes of both parties, a bill which will, he say. put facts beforo theories and fcoareb. for practical results. Tho Speaker is very confident the measure will pans, but expects the session to last until August, with recesses for tho two National conventions. Y.

White's consideration in on with Mr. Mahoney, who is called away by a family afiliction, is highly spoken of. Tne Senate KlectiODS Committee have already informally decided to admit Faulkner, of West Yirginia. They hold that J.ticas' commission by cho Governor is superseded by the LotfUlaturo's election of Faulkner. Tho reference ia merely formal.

Over one third of tho desks contained floral tribute ranging from the modest little basket of field flowers, which graced the desk of Senator Cullora, to the series of magnificent floral shapes that wero upon, around and about tho desk and chair of Mr. Danioi, of Virginia. Thoy coneisted of enormous borseshoos of La Franco roees, a ladder of immortelles, crowns of violots and baskets of orchids.

Mr. Daniel and his framo of color was the cynosaro of tho occasion. A harp of white and yellow roses, wreathed with ivy, stood on the dosk of Hlddleberter, a gift from the CTau na Gaol, of Philadelphia. At 11:53 Mrj. Cleveland, accompanied by Mre Folsoin and Miss Kinesford, arrived and took soats in tho "Presidential Row." The diplomatic gallery, which up to Ibis llmo had boon vacant, now rapidly filled with representatives of tho various embassies, tho Celestials, us usual, exclllug tho most attention.

Mrs. Whitney and a party of friends Boon arrived and soon after, amid a buzz and hum, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain enterod, escorting a strikingly handsome girl. At exactly noon tho gavol of President pro tempore Iugalls fell, and ho declared tho Fiftieth Sou nte to havo entered upon its sessions in accordauco with tho Constitution. Aftor prayer tho Chair submitted to the clerk the credentials of now Senators.

Tho reading consumod considerable time. Whon the credentials had ali been read, as woll as a pro tost in the Faulkner caso, Mr. Hoar movod that tho latter bo laid upon tho tablo. The Chair announcod that duly elected Senators would be sworn in, and tho clerk began to call tho namoi alphabetically and by fours. Messrs.
