About half past eleven la3t night, while tho Drew was en her way. to this city, consternation was created among her passengers by an oxplosion. Passongors left their staterooms in wild excitement, fearing that some thing very serious had occurred. It was discovored that the excitement was cause by an explosion in stateroom No. 248.

The explor was so intense that It shattered tho in Bide of the room, blowing down tho partition between tho sleeping apartments of the room, oharreu the wood' word, shattered the glass in the doors on the opposite side of the stateroom hall and extinguished tho lights in the latter. No one wsb injured. In tho stateroom where the oxplosion occurred wore found an empty woodon box and two empty powder cans, one can of a pound capacity and the other of a half pound, each of which had been exploded, jn tno top of each thore was a hole, as if made for a ubo. The mate of the steamer, on learning of the explosion, made inquiries of the watchmen as to whether they had seen any one on the boat carrying the box in question. One of them accurately described a person whom ho saw with such a box, but the perspn could not then bo found.

When the boat rcaohed the landing the mys terious person was discovered and was at once arrested He gave the name of Henry Evans, and said ho belonged to Easton, Pa. On being taken before Justice Clute ho denied the charge, and refused to answer any oueations until be could consult with his counsel. Captain Eos, Charles Vall6y nnd Caleb J.

He imag ined himself before his Honor the Mayor, and was pro ceeding to speak of Buffer's virtues when the In spector cut him short, pnt him through the customary formula, and sent hi nx upstairs.

Next came a dignified elderly gentleman of the ox qnlalte order, who satd ho bad a black and tan named Pinch, which, "by fiis way of parenthesis, let mo remark, Isn't worth a continental. He's old, and although tho poor brute has few; if any, attractions, we don't like the thought of his dying away from home. We'll pay a dollar for tho Bake of bis past good record. He's more worth it than some men For man's deceitful oft to man, But ever true our block aud ten." When Pinch's master went up stairs Dan remarked that it did a man's heart good to meet a man who had true humanity toward a worthless cur. Homer was the ambitions name of a pet poodlo for which a gentleman asked the honor of paying a dollar under protest," but "for tho sake of domestic pcaco."

A young man having tho spectacles and tho airs of ono who in future yours will In all likelihood adopt tho phrase, "when I graduated," as tho date line of memory, insisted upon "putting up" a dollar on an animal of small proportions which be Bald waa Imported, and was named Euclid.

Tha youthful master said, "Say three corners' to Euclid and ho will describe an anglo; say 'square' and ho will march along four imaginary sides. Then say 'round' and ho will start off on a cir cular trot as if for a prize on time." The geomotrical pup was certificated for a dollar.

Anybody would give a dollar to evado Mlko away from a chain, and hungry. THE ROUTINE OF THE Ddo OPFIOB. It la only In terror of tho majestlo law that anybody ventures forth to Invest a dollar for a dog's license. It thore were no dog pound, no dog catchers, no policemen looking for unmuzzled dogs, dog owners would not care two pins for tho law.

Ordinances would be doad letters if the people were not frightened into re Bpect for them. So much for law abiding oltlzens. It may be settled as a fact that people living on third floors, and keeping ugly and dangerous Bnarling curs at that altitude, are not llkoly to step down and pay dollars for dog licenses unless they are afraid to risk the penalty of evasion. To see tha number and the variety of tho men Snd the women who have visited Inspector Jones for the last few weeks for tho purpose of paying tribute for the sake of the dogs, is a spectacle in tha form of publio disciplino which is very refreshing. It shows what oan be done in the way of commanding general rospeet for the laws of the land, If the proper authorities would only perform theb? duty without regard to polities.

It is true that In regard to dogs there probably a slight difference, for what dog catcher can tell whether a vagrant cur belongs to a Oreenbscker, Worklngman, a Democrat, or a Bepabllcan? That's where the law has the pull on the boys. There is nothing partisan about the dog law any more than thore is about a dog that bites. So, np come native, naturalized and unnaturalized citizens to pay their dollars, save their dogs from peril and themselves from penalty. The Inspector listens to their application, certifies to tho license and sends them to the City Clerk's office to pay their dollar and get their certificate. ALL SOBTS OF PEOPLE, with all sorts of dogs, go through the mill.

The census includes dogs of the following gradeB, so far Sbep hord or collery, New England hound, English spaniel, Leonberg, Dalmatian, Dachshand, black and tan, Mastiff, African gray hound, Cordon setter, Gordon pointer, New Foundland, Esquimaux, Skyo terrier, siivor terrier, spitz terrier, poodles, King Charles epaniel, coach dogs, St. Bernard, Siberian, Russian bloodhound, China hound, Celtic, Retriever, Italian gray hounds, Great Dane, Mongrel, cur. The nomenclature of dogs includes numerous repetitions. But enlightened persons endeavor to avoid tha old rut names, and adopt titles for their dogs which indicate taste, knowlodge aud refinement. A few of the distinguished names of the canine representative will explain this.

Tha list presents us with Dlonysitis, Eudosla, Doctor, Euolid, Dinah, Horace, Fat, Homer, Shadow, Mike, Plato, Snakem, Bosclus, Abraham, Snatchum, Moses, Argns, Judge, Billy, Major, Buffer, Maggie, Drummer, Captain, Boas, General, Rhymer, Pinch, MoUie, Spoutor, Albert, Victoria, Whig, Copperhead, Louise, Lome, Sneak, Bully, Tussle, Towser, Diamond, Pug, etc The number of PEOPLE WHO KEEP DOCS in upper stories and floors of bouses in which thoro are children Is altogether too great. Such dogs seldom or "hardly ovor" wear muzzles, and are always dangerous. The deteBtable spitz is often found in this category, and there are many good peoplo who belleVe that tho city authorities have no right, as a matter of publio health, to license dogB in such cases at any prlco. It is difficult to account for tho tastes of people in their selection of dogs. But very few of tho dog owners select their dogs.

They get them from some friend thoy pick them up and care for them without knowing anything about breed or usefulness. It Is Immaterial to many persons whether they own a poodle or a Newfoundland, so long as they have a dog. It is astonishing bow many persons own dogs who are cruel and oppressive to them who, in fact, hare no good reason in the world for having any creature under their dominion'. Others, who know and care for their dogs, are tender in their atten tions, and are as solicitous of the health as of that of any member or Ins family. Dr.

Johnson, of Henry street, thinks it no indignity for his patients to ask him to prescribe for thoir dogs. There are some other physicians just as humane and correct in their notions ot professional duty. Francis Butler's dog book continues to bo a leading authority In this region. It will be remembered that Mr. Butler was himself the victim of a spitz which he bad under treatment.

DOG GEHEL BHYMS. Mr. Butler, In a little volume of rbymes published in 1870, paid many tender tributes to canines that had departed this life. Of Shot, a setter, he wrote The staunch and faithful perfect setter, Shot, No crime expiate, no soul to save No demon haunts the slnmbor of his grave, Hie javet Shot, an honest, well trained setter, And lucky ho who o'er may own a better." Over the grave of Dr. Elliott's Zing Charles spaniel he wrote: Only a dog 1 'Tie true yet where's the man Who ne'er betrayed his trust Only a dog I What biped dare or can Bevile my sleeping dust? On tho deceaso of his pet Siberian bloodhound Moscow, be grew ecstatic as well aa pathetlo In his epitaph to her memory: No more her honest ken shall truth declare No more her fearful threat the thief shall dare.

Yes; there she lies I take note all ye forsooth 1 Whose varied actions oft conceal the truth. If e'er a pup ye'd rear, Bemember Moscow." When the late Judge Bnssell, of New York, decided that owners of dogs had certain constitutional rights which dog catchers must respect, Butler celebrated the occasion in verse. Here is one stanza Ye hounds of the chase, cur, poodlo and setter; Should insist that this law be obeyed to the letter For if Russell with dog thieves but come In collision, The fine's fifty dollars and three months in prison. CAorus Tbia learned decision let no man malign Russell's found out at last, sin, my own dog is mine." Ladies who delight in the nursing: and constant care poodles will not reverence Butler's memory for perpetrating such lines as these Forever rest her name incog, Who'd slight a man to nuns a dog.V It must be remembered, however, that Butler merely quoted that couplet from an aggrieved sweetheart, who subsequently rejoiced in the fact that "Next morning tho poodle expired In a fit," Greater men than Francis Butler, who were attached dogs, and to whom dogs wore attached In return, havo left their eulogies of faithful but BuUerwaaaBrooklynlte. TOTDltS liXOISLATIOH, Perhaps some future legbdatton may rectify what Is wrong (feout the dog law.

Perhaps the health laws will made to reach the points where' the dog law is de ficient, wbils it is admirable to be very humane to dumb animals, it is more admirable, if not also more sensible, to be careful of the health and Uvea of human beings. A law whloh would in some way provide for the possession of dogs whore the; are of actual use, or nearly ao as possible, would hare many friends and advocates, and' the city treasury not a dollar less on that account It might be worth wnlle, if it were practicable, ascertain what tha doss have to ear about It them selves, at How the Murderer Passes his Time in hie Heath Cell lie Eats and Sleeps Like an tanocent Stan and Protests that he did not Mean to do Murder. Since his conviction of the murder of Mrs. Hull, Cbaetins Cox has preserved tho same degree of composure in manner and conversation in prison as has characterized his deportment since his arrest in Boston. To day he sat tranquilly In his cell on Murderer's Bow, in the Tombs, New York, smoking a cigar In a meerschaum and amber holder, and entered cheerfully into conversation with all who approached him.

lie dressed in black cloth trousers and striped shirt, without ooat or vest, and had a silk handkerchief wrapped loosely around his neck. The floor of his cell was covered with some pieces of coarse carpet, and on a llttlo table used for toilet purposes could be bo sosn a Bible and other religious works, a wax candle, some lemons, and othor email articles deemed necessary try him. After referring to a vision In his sleep last night, and to a letter received by him from his mother this morning, from Richmond, from which he DERIVED MUCH CONSOLATION, ho recalled tho clronmstanco of his trial, and of on Just Impression disseminated about blm, becauso of an apparent want of sonsirjlllty on his part while undergoing tho terriblo ordeal of arraignment for ths moat serious offonse known to tho law. Ho said that he frequently turned aside in court to wipe sway a tear or hide a passing emotion, but that he was obliged occasionally to yield to banter or Jocularity eomlug from those immediately around him, and It was on thoso occasions his face wore a comic expression, sadly out of accord with tho real nature of his feelings. However, he placed his confidence in tho Lord, the searcher ot all hearts, and whllo acknowledging that ha wsl guilty of burglary he reiterated his assertions of ISNOOENCB OF THE MOBK HEINOUS 0BI5TB Of UTJBDEB.

Ho emphasized this avowal by plaolng his hand on his heart. By thooo who have had frorjnent Intercourse with him, his stolidity Is attributable to tho dssh of Indian blood in bis veins and his habitual manner In soma measure sustains tha idea, for ho appears Incapable of any depth of feeling. Ho passes from a grave to a gay subject without being sensible of the transition, and Is evidently ploased to speak of the personal comforts provided for him by the gonerostty of his mother. Itcmlt tancos received from hor have enabled him to JU(h hso with the prison fare, and to procure such dullcacie i as he was accustomed to, vegetables, tos.it, finite. His appetite Is good, bis SLEEP UNBROKEN, and tho tone of his mind as buoyant as that of a roan whoso conscience absolves him of having deliberately taken lifo.

Ho chafes, st times, ho says, at reading statements attributed to him by tho nowwpapors, whicli ho never mado, and smiles at witticisms Indulged In at hlB expenso, in the form of burlcsquo and caricature, but he feels confldout bat public sentiment will bcooma toned down over his esse, and that tho lspso or time will help to a true Interpretation of his offense. In ihla spirit Cox talks to his visitors, castiug asida all reserve, and tho religious tone of Bomo of his remarks as well as his natural aptitude for expression oan scarcely fall to impress some of thoso who come to see him favorably.

a. IMtoo st, near Nassau. A Eb ISS hi brought the murderers of old Samuel Jones to the gal Iowa, stated this morning that he had captured Ephralm Henry Johnson, tho colored Bay Shore murderer, at a place near Union Hill, New Jersey. A man, arrested there for some petty offense, answered the description of Johnson so fully, that a request was sent to the District Attorney of Suffolk County, to send on some ono to Identify him. Deputy Sheriff Belles failed to fully identify him, but Payne was so confident, that he mado an affidavit that the man hi Johnson and that he iswanted in this State.

Yesterday, District Attorney Petty prepared the papers for Johnson's return to this State, and last night a messenger took them to Albany to receive Governor BoWnson's signature. To make doubly sure of tho identification, Payne to day wont to New Jorsey with tne wife of Johnson, whom he abandoned at Westbury four years ago, when he was married to the woman he Is aUeged to have murdered. There is a reward of $250 for his capture. THE CHIME. Oa the morning of the lath of February last.

Mrs. Johnson was found dead in bed, in her house at Bav Shore. She waa fully clothed, and her risht hond grasped a pistol, four chambers of which wore empty. The body had beon arranged to give tho case the appear. anee of suicide; but the spots of blood on different parts of the floor, the bloody garments found under the bed.

some of which had been used to wipe up the blood from tho floor, were sufficient in themselves to refute the suicide theory. But stronger evidence of murder was found in ths location of the wounds. They were four in number, and tho woman could not possibly havo inflicted them beratlf Johnson was nowhere to bo found, though he had been at the house at ton In the morninc. and every effort to apprehend him failed. Johnson and bis wife had not lived happily.

Sho was much his senior. Ho was believed to bo unduly Intimate witu a colored girl id tne vuiago, and tho theory of the coroner was that he committed tho murder to bo free to marry her. His wife had often threatened turn with arrest for tho bigamy of which bo was guilty in marrying hor. Sho was a widow with two children at tho time of their marriage. In April last, Johnson was indicted lor murder in the first degree.

There has not been an execution In Suffolk County in thirty years, notwithstanding thirteen murders have been committed within that period. THE COURTS. JJght Iay Among IiCgal Fraternity. the The Case of Jlrs. Peck The Haekmcn Morlng for Their Bights Arraign merits in the Court of Sessions.

July 10. 1879. To the Editor of tlie Brooklyn Eagle In a recent issue of vonr valiinhl Tinnor flr, ,1 1 V. in relation to the milkmen's pool, which is intended as a uuu uu MiDClUWrUU IUuB Hfl lUlrll.1 ATI I lArfA. ttTYi mimi wioncr iu yuur issue oi dune and wnlle it does not dispute anything I assert there it does not place the milk question before the public in a true light When "Tho Eaqle's Old Friond" atxtoa what i.romTO men pay out in Herklmor and Oneida counties for milk for cheese purposes it may.be well enough for information for publication in the choose making dlBtrfcts, but it has no bearing whatever upon the question of the price of milk that is made for tho New York market, for, in the first place, it is so far from the city that it cannot be sent to this market even in refrigerator cars and remain In good condition, as It would have to leave the farmer so early in the day and be carried so far while milk produced in Orange County would be cooling either in a cool spring or a tub of ice water, that the milk from the Interior of the State could not compete with milk produced within a radius of fifty miles from Now York City, but he need not have none so far to find that creamery men do not pay as much to the producer of milk as the dealor in this aud New York City pay, for it is customary In Orange County oven, for tho creamery men to buy their milk at a cent, per quart less than the NOW York mftrlrAfc nrfnn atiil wliv 9 tu.tiia farmers have no trouble to cool their milk, as the others do, for it is taken at onco after milking to tho creamery and emptied out of their cans, and all tha trouble of cooling left for the creamery man, and at tho somo time there la ono flfth of the number of cons required for the business and a great saving in loss of cans thot oo ours to a great extent evory year.

Tho report of tho receipts of milk, taken from tho and tho price paid at the platform for the surplus milk sold 1b undoubtedly correct, but tho statement of price paid the farmers for tho month of d'une is incorrect, with the exception of where milk was Bhlppcd over railroad lines that continued to demand the exhorbitant and outrageous prlco of 60 cents per can or 1 cents per quart for freight, bocauso thoso farmers wore obliged to tako one half cent per quart less for their milk than the other more fortunate ones who lived upon tho line of railroads who had made tho nartlal reduction of 15 cents per can on May 1. You ask mo whether. In consideration of theso figures, milk cannot bo sold in theso cities at a leas price than the present. I would answer frank ly, no, who me present numoer or miuanen the Business and the diminished nuSntltv served bv nverv dan.1. er to nls customers upon his routes, that has diminished becauso of the scarcity of money to buy with and the stringency of the times generally, not only, but because of bo muoh cheap milk being Bold at almost every cor nor of the street, cither as a leader or a macrnnt to draw In tho unsuapectlng and make up their losses, if any, by additional charges upon something else, that wo cannot sell to our regular customers only about half as much as formerly, while tho expenso of serving the ruute remains tne same as 11 we sola twice as muon, and while the "Old Friend" is fldiirine out tho nercontairB of profit he must not forget that it costs each dealor, on an average, about sixty per cent, of tho value of the milk when farmer and transportation company aro paid for its delivery to his customers.

But I am willing to assert nubllclv that, when tho railroad comDandes either voluntarily or by compulsion reduced thoir tariff upos milk to that charged upon othor produce shipped over the same roads from tho same stations, then milk will be delivered by tho pint or quart from house to house at a price not to exceed six cents per quart, even In Winter, and It need not necessarily bo adulterated, skimmed or watered at that. Now, in relation to the recent developments of adulterated milk, and whether tho Kings County Milk Exchange aro lending their aid to tha Boare of Health as fully aa wo might, I would profor Sanitary Superintendent Raymond, of the Board of Health, should answer that question but, until he docs, I want to say that we have dono so much that with the present means at their command wo havo actually flooded them with business of this kind, and cases that had been reported by us to them had remained months and no action taken. I do not feel like censuring them at all. but hone that men and means mav be Hufnclentlv furnished to Took after this feature of their work that is of tho greatest importance to the citizens of Brooklyn. The Kings County Milk Exchange will ever bo found ready and willing to aid them, and ovon without thoir efforts be ever watchful over their own members to bco that they are complying fully with the riquiremeuts of the Health laws, and to that end a meeting is called for Saturday afternoon noxt to consider th matter of the recent developments in Columbia street, We trust tho Eaole will assist us at all times iu our efforts to elevate tho standard of milk sold in the city, and also in our unequal fight with the railroad monopolists to reduce their extortionate charges.

N. B. Killmeu. MORE 5JJLR To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eaple Having noticed in your issue of the 10th instant an editorial entitled "The Milkman's Pool," I cannot refrain from encroaching upon your space, in consideration of some of tho matter of that article. It appears to me the subjects of combination aud price have been pretty thoroughly mot by Mr.

NB. Killraer, whom the railroads bitter enemies of the Kings County MUk Exchange have sought through your valuable journal to make the chief subject of thoir spite. My purpoBe is not to deal with theso much agitated points, but to meet on fair ground the implication that the efforts ot the Kings County Milk Exchange to endeavor to suppress the sale of adulterated milk was only the noiBe of the barking dog that nover bites. This dog his bitten, and many an unprincipled dealer yet carries the print of his teeth. I speak from personal knowledge, having been since its organization connected with tho Board of Health Committee of the Exchange, most of the time as its ohalrman.

Now to come at once to facts, tho heaviest fine Imposed in Brooklyn for the adulteration of milk, tho dealer was arrested and procecuted through the exertions of the Board of Health Committee of tho Exchange. Tho board persisted for some time that they were unable to detect this party in furnishing adulterated milk to ono of our large public institutions. The committee remained in their charge that it was done, until the Board did prosocuto and convict him. and Judge Walsh imposed the' heaviest fine ever collected in Brooklyn for milk adulterated, and we ore now informed that Institution is being served with pure milk so If the Exchange had done no more It has been instrumental in benefiting at least ono sot of parentless children. This is only one caBo of many investigated by the Board of Health Committee and the facts reported to the Board of Health for prosecution aa the records of the committee will show.

They are open to the inspection of any citizen who may sufficiently interest to examine them. The committee originally devoted one day in each week to tours of inspection, until we found we were presenting cases to the Board so fast, they said, that with their limited force they could not take them as rapidly as we thought they should. So we then concluded that if our coses were not going to be prosecuted by the Board of Health we were only wasting time and money buying samples of niiik and testing them. We did not give it up for a time until after we had tendered our services gratuitously to the Board if thoy would endow us with the same authority possessed by other sanitary Inspectors? This offer the Board of Health rejected, saying it would not look well to see milkmen inspecting mik. Nothing daunted at this, but reresolred to elevate the milk trade of Brooklyn, the Board of Health Committee drafted a bill which was introduced in the last Assembly by which an auxiliary hoard was created in the Board of Health.

Said bill Erovlded that every man selling milk should pay a cense fee to the Board of Health of $30, the revenue thereby produced to be devoted by sold Board to the procuring of competent inspectors and creating a board of milk inspectors. Had this bill become a law and all now In business remain, it would have given the Board of Health an income of $160,000 the first year but your valuablo paper was an enemy to this nobla project, and derided tho very idea, as you said, "milkmen paying to be watched." Tho honest dealer does not care how oloso ho is watched and let me say right to tho Eaole, Its friend that pretends to know so much more than the dealor about the cost of the sale and the production of milk, yet Is ashamed to sign his name to the assertions, and to the general public, that no man who is not willing to be watched in the closest mannor, can remain a member of tho Kings County Milk Exchange. The Kings County Milk Exohange has solicited the services of talented professional men and gone to the expense of giving public lectures to Instruct the community in the methods of adulteration and the way in which every consumer might detect adulteration, at none of these lectures for the publlo benefit, where all might come without money and without price, have we had more than two thirds of a room full, where wo expected to have to turn tho people away. Now, a fair question to the milk consumers of Brooklyn: Can the Kings County Milk Exchanga or any other association for the public good, work successfully without publio sympathy 7 That milk was being transported from tho post stables at Blissville and delivered to parties in our city, particularly in tha Eastern DlBtrlot, was brought to the notice of the Board of Health by the Exchange many months before any action was taken which resulted in their extermination. The memoers or tne fixopange ao hot want any exor bitant price, aq y0ur piper implies, in return for their efforts for the eonoral crood.

but busdIv a fair orico for a pore article of human food, which we will see that the pnouc receives irom our memoers, ana endeavor to see tiiai cUghonest dealers are promptly exposed and prose onted. We have done all in our poiyer to forward the permit system wmcn too isxcnange ana tne uoara ox rxeaitn thought would prove a benefit. To dav there Is not a milk man of any respectability that waters or adulterates his milk, while in years gone by thore was hardly any but pnt from four to six quarts oi water in every xorty quarts oi mint xuey sola, oo we justly claim that the influence of the Exchange has elevated the general standard of milk sold in Brooklyn, though much to our disadvantage as well as the consumers, large quantities of adulterated muk is still Bold, yet we still seek to exterminate not only adulterated but impure and unwbolesomo milk as well. By giving this space in your valuable paper you will repair an Injury done by your Journal from time to time, no doubt through misinformation and unintentionally on your part, to an association which has spent much money and done much more for the public good and health. And though the "mllkmans' pooi," as yon call it, will continue to fight rjailroads to the bitter end, it has done and will do muchTor the consumers' benefit.

On behalf of the Exchange. E. Dknnibo, Chairman Board of Health Committee, Sings County MUk Exchange. A RETORT. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle Will you please allow me, through your columns, to ask a question of that industrious advertiser of "church and "church hypocrites 7" The question la this What more have you done in the way of practical work for humanity and for the of Christ's gospel than is being performed individually by the majority of thote evangelical ministers and church members wnom you bo venomously buuoo uu My curiosity on this point is increased by the fact that I never yet knew a man whose life was made glorious by good works accomplished for bis fellow men, ana who was noted for his success In winning others to.

Christ, who ever found the time or the incUnationto pour out tirades of abuse against the Christian Church, or the ministry and" church members in general. The only people I ever know to delight in this sort of Billingsgate rhetoric were fanatics, whose overwhelming conceit of their own superior holiness led them to look with contempt and detestation on all other professors of religion except the few followers and admirers who would consent to sit at their own feet and' treat them as divine oraclce. The man who would hold up "George Bowers, of Coonvffte," as a fair sample of the Gospel ministers whom1 we have among us might perhaps pass for a person of honor and veracity in Coonville until the people there learn better, but in Brooklyn he will much sooner succeed in destroying his own character than those of other people. If "'liars are to be hong up by their tongues In hell," wa would advise the gentleman who claims to have discovered the fact to occasionally practice that sort of suspension in this present life in order to lnnre himself to in good season. But, as he is yet on praying ground, even he may yet learn the spirit of true Christian love and charity, to which he la now so complete a stranger.

BrCICLE BIDING. To ths Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle By inserting the following on the subject of "byclcle riding," you will greatly oblige no only the writer, bet everybody in ths city, who owns a machine. Tho hours appointed by law for bydele riding, are from sunrise to 10 and from 4 P. to If yon ask why you are put off between these hours, yon are told that it is because yon frighten the horses. Now, as anybody knows, the least traveling is done between too vory hours ths byciclea ere kofitSnff Therefore I ask that the police authorities look Into tho matter and if there is reason for it, pnt ns off altogether, if no, let us nave the avenue open all day.

"ours, ot to be as to Sow and Where the Great Theft was legalized. ADasli at the Scene in the Court House Yesterday "When the Decision in the Bond Eleratcd Hallway Case was Handed Down. The dingy) rioketty old Court House at Poughkeepsio guarded yesterday morning by an old man with a crutch and nn older man in hie shirt sleeves, whose colpr clearly indicated the day of the week. Around, were strewed cabbage leaves, peapoda and small children, who toarvelously escaped falling into the gaping gullies between the flagstones'. When a throng of young men alighted from the Main street car at the door of the edifice, a small reception committee welcomed them.

The throng of visitors was preceded by a big, stout, Jolly young fellow, with a bundle under his arm. The reception committee cleared a path, and one of them announced the arrival thus: "HI, cully 1 Here's Johnny Dwyer and his fellers a comin' to fight in the theayter," The stout young gentleman blushed up to the two small curls that he wears on his forehead, and his companions sat up a cheer. There was a slight mistake as to the identity of the group, for the gentleman taken for Johnny Dwyer whose appearance, by the way, was announced in big placards all over the olty was none other than Mr, John Q. Law, the courteous and able clerk of the Ciroult Court of Brooklyn, and his associates were A HOST Or YOUNG GENTLEMEN from this city who were about to bo sworn in as counselors at law before the General Term of tho Supremo Court, which was just about to convene in the forlorn and apparently dangerous Court House already alluded to. Tho group went inside and took possession of the best place they could find, whloh looked like a rejected barroom.

Presently Judges Barnard and Dykman reached the Court House and ocoupied a private. room. The boys outside took tho oath, paid their fee, joked, swore and chaffed ono another. Then they got their parohment certificates, to bo hung up at home for those who knew thorn beat to wonder at. "What are the Judges doing ono aBkod.

Having a quiet tlmo with iced punoh," said another. Just then a country lawyer entered the judgos' room, A highly profane breeze was blowing. It whistlod through tho opened door with, a "Why, it," and passed out over tho beautiful flowers which might have been outside the window if slop cisterns and ash barrels had not got ahead of them. "It's about tlmo for some decision," a gentleman said. "It's about time for boor," said Bon Bloker.

Who is Ben Bloker 7 Why, everybody knows Ben Bloker. He Is an attorney and counselor at law, doing business at tho place whore he does business is forgotten, but It Is chiefly of a jovial and criminal "No" slrree," Bald the Count von SliBhor "it is about time for champagne, and I move that my friend Bumps pays for it." A DI80BEPANOY. "Qentlemon, are you all Bworn in?" ashed tho clerk. "Why do you ask Mr. Triboniua Diokerson inquired.

"Because the number of swears don't correspond with the number of flvo dollors," the clerk replied. "Somebody's got in a Bwear on false pretenses." "Tho first case I have In Po'keopsle," said Ben Bloker, "I'll stand treat all round." "And tho first case you have in Po'keopsle," said a young iawyor, "I'll undertake to eat my head." "Oh, what a relish," exclaimed peaceful Dave Manning; "only think of it calf's head 1 The Eaolk reportor saw Judge Emott como out of the judges' private room. The reporter thought it was time to ask about Bond's Hallway matter. Ho went outside and walked past the opon door which led to the stroot. With the courtosy whioh always marks the judges of tho Supremo Court of this department, Judges Barnard and Dykman called to tho reporter to enter.

Judge Barnard was taking his ease with one leg over another. Judge Dykman was putting his head into a memorandum before him. Both gentlemen looked as though they were WABMEB THAN THE WEATHEB. "They've beon having a timo over tho Elovated Railway," tho reporter said to himself. "Barnard feels like a man who has done bia duty, and Dykman as though ho admitted that fact." "What can I do for you 7 asked Judge Barnard.

The reporter know a good mauy things which a man with an income of a few hundred thousands could do for him, but ho forebore to take advantage of the equation. All he said was; "About the elevated railway, Judgo "Well, it's decided," Barnard repliod. "Judges Dykman and Gilbert concur In confirming the report, and I djssont." "On what grounds do you confirm it, Judgo Dykman?" the reporter inquired. "Not too fast," his Honor answored. "I've made a few memoranda, but my opinion won't be ready until to morrow." "Give him your memoranda," Judge Barnard said, with a curious smile.

"Oh! no;" replied Judge Dykman, "I must revise them." "I dissent," said Judge Barnard, rising, and rattling on not unlike an elevated railroad himself. "I dissont, bocauso I think it is going to cost too much. It takes valuablo property and gives nothing for it. Suppose all Main street hero were to be takon, that would represent only a tithe of the property to be destroyed by this railway on Fulton street in Brooklyn. ADMITTED TO THE BAB.

Tho young lawyers had by this time been "admitted to the bar" of the Nelson House, and were feeling con soled. The Hon. Ben Bloker was in fine spirits. He never saw. a stranger that he didn't want somebody else to treat him.

He ordered beer recklessly, and drank champagne which others ordered with equal nonohalancs. A young man from Nowburgh received a special retainor early in the day. It called him away suddenly. It afterward turned out that It was a ques tion of improper joinder, and he threw up the caso. At half past twolvo tho General Term was over.

Two pairs of logs on a table, two heads wagging, two tongues arguing and swearing, two farmer like men in shabby olothes shaking hands, and an important decision, In volving millions of dollars to property owners in Brook lyn, was announced. The newly made counselors at law ate dinner Jit the NelBon House. It was a good dinner, well eaten, After It, the young fellows made tor tho boat and had a good time coming down. They were around this morn ing as well as could bo expected. "Humph," said a grumbler to the writer, "I like consistency.

Hero Judge Barnard refused to con. firm the report of the commissioners of the olovated railway on tho ground that it would be injurious to the rights of citizons, and yot he consents to let loose score newly fledged lawyers on tho community."

The General Term of the Supreme Conrt, sitting at Poughkeepsle, yesterday handed down a de cision confirming the report of the Commissioners in the matter of the Kings County Elevated Railroad.

The text of the roport authorizing the company to construct an elevated railroad on the principal streets of Brooklyn has already teen published. The confirmation of the report' was opposed by the property owners. It was signed, by Judges Gilbert and Dykman, and was dissented from by Judge Barnard. The opinion was written by Judge Dykman, and the following is tho full text of the document THE OPINION. In the matter of the Kings County Elevated 'itaihvay Company: DtkSIn, J.

The scheme ol the Rapid Transit Act of 1876, so far as it is Involved in the caso at bar, is that whenever it shall appear by tho application of fifty householders and taxpayers of tho county that there is need therein of a steam railway, the Mayor of tho city shall appoint five resident commissioners, who shall hft'o full power and authority to determine upon the necessity, and if thoy find such railway to be noces sary to them, delegated tho exclusive power to determine and locate the route over, under, through or across the streets, avenues or lands in the city. A proviso rebaires that before such location shall become permanent, tho oonsont of the owners'of 'one half in value of the proporty bounded ori that, portion of the street upon which It Is proposed to construct tho road, hall be first obtained, or in case it cannot then, the determination of three commissioners appointed by the Buprema. Court at general term, gi von after duo hearing, and confirmed by tho oourt, that the railway ought to be constructed, is to bo taken In lieu of auoh consent, and also requires that tho oonsent of the local authorities having control of the streets be first obtained. This proviso 1b substantially a transcript of the State Constitution, article 3, sootion 18. Any necessity for inquiry into tho validity and constitutionality of this law, is superseded by the decision of the Court of Appeals in the matter of the Now lork Elevated Company, TO, N.

327, where it received tho sapotlon aud approval of that high tribunal upon all questions that can be here brought up. The Mayor'e Commission, carrying out the iutention 'of tho law, havo determined that the road is necessary, and in tho exercieo of their exclusivo power located tho route. The consent of the property holders could not be obtained, and tho commissioners contemplated by the statute in that event were appointed by this court and havo made a report of their proceedings, which now comift'o us for approval, for it must bo confirmed by the court before it can stand in place of the conaont of the property owners. Tho Supreme Court Mrnmissioners have coincided with the view of the Mayor's Commission that tho road should bo built. Such is the conclusion of two sets of residont commissioners familiar with tho affairs of tho city, after ample opportunity given to all for a hearing.

A controlling feature in this law is that tho Mayor's Commission determined tho necessity of the railway and tho location of its route. With tho feasibility of Buch location the Supreme Court commissioners have no concern, and hove only to determine whether tho road is to be constructed on the route already seleoted. The Sdpreme Court is vested with neither power nor duty in reBpect to tha location of this route or tha construction of this road, oxcept that by refusing confirmation to tho commissioners' report it can stop the project. But on what ground can we refuse our assent 7 Can we without view and without inquiry Bay that tlirs two norilnii of men unon'whom tho duty of deter mining tho question has been imposed by law have reacnea an erroneous conclusion Or do our duties cease with an inquiry whether tho nrocoedlncrfl of onr commissioners havo been regular and fair and thoir determination reasonable and just. We incllno to the latter view.

We think the power is bestowed upon the two sets of commissioners to determine thn nut atinnn submitted to thom respectively, tho latter ouly to be dependent upon our confirmation for itB validity. Groat complaint is made that the route Is Iooated on a certain street, but can we certainly say that the determination of the commissionorp in that regard is unfair or unjust, dr that the injuries to roault to private Interests by its location there, are not counterbalanced by the benefits to thebeneral rmbllc which are to follow, or that tho damages to property thore aro greater than thoy would be in Bonio other locality. We think theso were questions to be settled by tho commissioners and that with their determination we ought not to interfere. It is made by the law an additional precedent condition to the construction and operut :o.i of the road, that the cdnsont thereto of tho local authorities having control of tho streets shall bo first obtained, but that is a requirement ontirely Independent of any action of tho commissioners or the court. Over that Bubject wo have no control, and whether tho consent is given or withheld, ran havn nn Influence unon our action.

If it is not obtained the road cannot be built, but we have no conoorn with the subject now. A Doint was mado on tho argument, that the Mayor's commissioners did not fix the route as they were ro quired to do, because thoy determined in soma Instances that tho railway moy bo constructed on either of twq streets or oh both. This Is quite subtile, but not very substantial: tho route Is fixed for both streets. All that can do said is, that the company is not required to build on both! And that Is true of ah the streets. The determination of the commissioners Is permissive in all cases and mandatory in none.

Neither can we glvoJoico to the objootlon that the Supremo Court commissioners should'bavo been made on the petition of tho Mayor'e commissioners. The oartv to make the anollcatlon Is not specified by the statute, and bo long as the matter was brought to the attention of the court, and the commissioners wnro appointed and made their roport, the requirements of the statute have been sufficiently oompUed with. Neither should the report of the commissioners bo rejected because their determination iB, in one or two instances, subject to conditions. Oonsent is merely withheld until a Btreet Is widened or the Brooklyn Bridge completed in that event it is given. The report of the commissioners snouia oe connrmea.

What OTassnrsi. Da Witt and Cullen Say About It Tho Sentiments of JTutlire Bond and the Praportr Owners. Corporation Counsel Pe Witt and Mr. Edgar M. Cullen were this morning at tho office of the General Term decision in the BJoieyjSKS Baji'way matter.

When thoy learned that a4 reporter was at Poughkeep sle yesterday, they to hear all that he bad Been and heard in connectlQn the action of tho General Term, Mr. Do Witt said that ha heard that Judge Gilbert' wrote an opinion before leaving for Europe, and waB surprised to learn thatBuoh was not the case, or at all events, that Judge Dlkman was to write tho opinion. Do and Cullen were interested In the fact that Judge Emott had said to a reporter that any Judge of the Supreme Court could grant a stay, and seenied to enjoy the free report of law when so distinguished an authority was the caterer. "We must look Into tost," said the Corporation Coun sal; "although Judge Barnard would, no grant a stay." NO ACTION DETEB MINED ON. To the question as to what they proposed to do, Messrs.

DeWltt and Oullefi oould say nothing. They would have to consult and think over the thing before any action was taken. Nothing oould be done by oither side until the entry of the order of the General Term. Whon that would be entered depended, in tho first Instance, on the successful pkrty. It waa generally customary to let tho other side know when an order of tho kind was to be entered, but there was no 'fixed rule on the subject.

Both gentlemen were confident of the Court of Appeals upsetting the action of the General Term. President Bond said that they had no design of going to work until the legal questions were dbjposed of. Of course, they expected to fight it through, as too marry lawyers were gathered around the carcass to be driven off without something TO SATISFY THEIB HUNGBY MAWS. Mr. Bond thought all along that Judge Barnard waa with them and that Judge Dykman was tho man who would oppose them.

As to Judge Barnard's views, Mr. Bond did not believe the railway would injure property In Fulton Btreet. It Has greatly benefited trade on Sixth avenue, New York. Before the elevated railway was erected there, the Sixth avenue horse cars carried 50,000 persons daily. Immediately after its construction they carried 44,000.

Now, however, thoy carried 56,000, an Increase of 6,000. While business in Sixth avenue had Increased through tho elevated railway, business in roadway had fallen off. JUDOE ABNAED BAD OFFERED report of the Oommisaioners on the merits and not on legal grounds, consequently his sentiments could not affect the' cubo before the Oourt of Appeals. There was, in fact, no real cause of appeal. Several property owners on Fulton street expreSBOd themselves as grateful to Judge Barnard for doing all he, eouidlBinglehonded, tb stop the outrage on private rights.

Very strong ntterances were heard as to the job which was in tho whole matter as it came into the courts. FREE KINDERGARTEN. To the Editor of the BrtoHyn SagUi We would call the attention of the oitizens of Brooklyn to a noble work which is being carried on in tho Mission Building, corner of Atlantlo and Grand avenues. About two months ago a lady enthusiastic in the cause of mission work started a free kindergarten for poor children. Sho has been eminently successful, and now anyone the mission any day between the hours of nine and may.

see there assembled about thirty as happy children as one would care to see. Their ages range from five to eight years. We saw thore one baby two and a half years old, who, we understand, attends regularly1 with her elder brother and sister. The merits of the kindergarten system of teaching youn? children are tbo'well established to need further recommendation, but we would like to impress upon the pnbllo is 'this, that if the kindergarten is a blessing to the children of the rich; how. much more is it to the children of the poor.

In" the kindergarten the child's mind is' not only trained so that the acquisition of knowledge In after years becomes pleasant and easy, but the virtues of truth, purity, gen tlenesa and pstienes are continually inculcated. We firmly believe that the good which these little ones receive at tho kindergarten will, be a blessing to them throughout their whole lives. Several ladles have volunteered their services aa assistant teachers, giving as many days out of the week as 'they can spare from home duties. Just here, let mo eaf that any young ladles haying leisure and wishing to do good could nardly find a uetter field of labor. The lady having the kindergarten in charge was thoroughly educated in Boston and has taught the system for seven years with the greatest success.

Visitors to the Free Kindergarten are cordially welcomed, and It Is honed that the nnbllc will become so thoroughly, interested in lthfa noble enterprise that these schools will in time' be eatabliseed throughout Brooklyn, VisiTOB.

I would bespeak tha consideration of the Eaole for the overworked dry goods clerks of our city to have their hours of labor shortened during tha next two months. They are bow obliged to be at business at 8 o'clock. Nov. it is a well known fact that ladles do not oommenoe to shop before iff and tho clerk, therefore, has little to do before that hnnr. I would annsest that the hour for attendance be fixed at 0 o'clock for tho months of July August.

This would give me young gentlemen a obanee for a little additional recreation, and at the same time an opportunity to improve their minds. Dm Goodb Clerk. James Dobbins was" arrested to day for the theft of $16 worth ot clothing, on Wednesday, from the room of Jacob 'Mess No. 11 Lombaiiig street. Jostle Guck will gveUe prisoner a hearing on Mot ft tion.

By next week the work of the department will be fully under way, and there is an immense amount of it to be done, Thsra continues to be considerable speculation and gossip in regard to the position of the Commissioners touching changes in the Department. That there will bo some Important changes admits of little doubt but just when they will be made it is Impossible now to say. It is a foot that the Commissioners havo had no consul tation in reference to removals and appointments to fill vacancies, their time and attention being oocupied by the mors pressing business of the Board. In a week or ten days things will so shape themselves that they will be able to giro the matter their attention. In the mean time, thoy are fairly overrun by applicants for places and subjected to the pressure of the politicians in be half of candidates.

Some of the City Hall etateBmen have just came to tho conclu sion that President Massey and Commissioner Hazzard have formed a combination to control all Iho removals and appointments, and that they ars preparing a programme for the work of decapitation. Thore Is not the slightost indication that any "combi nation" or "programme" has been formed; and it' would probably surprisa some of theso prognostlcators if the three Commissioners should be found acting together in making changes in the force. Each Commls Bloner must have friends whom he desires to put on, and It remains to be seen whether there will be a fair division of the patronage or a row and a combination by which two will gobble It all up. MAYOR HOWELL'S HEALTH. Mayor Howell was not at his office to day.

He is improved in health, however, and may bo able to come to the Hall on Monday. Theao was a rumor around the Hall again this afternoon to the effect that his Honor proposed to call a special meeting of the Board of Al dermen next week and send in nominations, including that of President Massey. Mr. Kico, the Mayor's secre tary, said that he had received no intimation that a meeting would be, called. SBOPOSAXS FOB BONDS.

Controller Steinmetz has advertised for proposals for $500,000 of assessment fund bonds, payable December 10, 1881 $400,000 of assessment fund bonds, water and sewerage, payable February 1, 1882, and $350,000 of sewerage fund bonds, payable July 20, 1882, all to bear interest at 4 per cent. Proposals will be recolved until Tuesday, the 22nd Inst. These will make tho second set of four per cents issued by the olty. WHO ABE THEY At the last meeting of the Board of Aldermen a com mnnication was received from Alanson WlUlams, Egbert Hatoh and Koswell C. Bennett, asking for permission to construct and operate an elevated railway cn Hicks street, Montague street and Myrtle avenue.

Who these parties are ho one about tho City Hall seems to know. Their names do not appear in either the Brooklyn or New York directory. President Bond, of the Kings County Elevated Railway Company, says he never heard of the parries, and he does not see how the Aldermen can give to them or anybody else routes not previously laid out by a rapid transit commission. The question now is, who ars Williams, Hatch and Bennett 1 Some Bay thoy are myths, and the application a joke. PEOGBESS OF BUILDING.

TENEMENT BRAWLS. Justice Elliott to day investigated two affrays between occupants of Fourteenth Ward tenement houses, The first case called was on tho complaint of Fred Eunzen, who chsrgod Georgo and Susan Herman with having beaten him with an Iron rod. These people live at No. 170 North Fourth street. The evidence of Eunzen and two witnesses on his behalf was to the effoot that Herman had first knocked Hunzon down and held him while Susan administered sundry vigorous whacks with tho rod.

Both defendants were sentenced to fifteen days eaoh. A somewhat similar affair was that of Mary Young, of No. 230 Seventh street, who accused Thomas and Mary Brady with having assaulted her with a poker. This charge Mary could not substantiate, her single witness making it to appear that Brady and his wife had, in fact, acted on the defensive in resenting a threatened assault upon them. As tho decision to dismiss the complaint was announced, Mary, who doubtless hoped to greatly impress the magistrate said ob she departed, God la true, Judge, I'll meet you ig heaven." OUSTED A SQUATTER.

An old disused factory building corner of Seventh and North Ninth streets, owned by Mrs. Josephine O'Connoll, a widow, recently gained an occupant unknown to the proprietor. Mrs. O'Connoll on Thursday last found John Tomlins in possession and industriously engagod at wool pulling. This man said an acquaintance, whose name he did not know, had recommended him to locate there.

As to rent he was not prepared to pay, and besldo ho first wanted to bo perfectly satisfied as to who was the rightful owner of the premises. Mrs. O'Connell, backed by her son John and a daughter named Josephine, summarily ejected the trespasser and secured the place against further intrusion. To day Tomlins had the O'Connolls before Justice Elliott on a summons requiring them to deliver to him his tools and other property not( already given over to him. The O'Connells denied having retained anything belonging to Tomlins, and were told to go about their business.

Thereupon Tomlins said he should at onco have tho English Consul over to seo that ho, a subject of Britain, obtained big rights in the matter. BOBBERIES.
