Hit. CORSCtra MISTAKEN CHOICE. A Public School Boy Charged With Embezzlement. Detective Ferris, of tho Central Office, Now York, returned from St. Louis, thia morning, having in custody George Eoblnger, a fino looking fellow, of whom he arrested on a requisition granted by Governor Robinson.

Eoblnger was until about six or eight weeks ago in tha employ of Mr. Hugo Gorsch, a real estate agent, doing business at 215 Bowery aud also having an offico uptown, and ia charged with embezzling which money ho appropriated to bis own rises and purposes. It appears that about six yean ago while Mr. Gorsch was more Immediately connected with the educational interests of tha city, the bright appearance of young Eobinger, then a pupil in ono of the public schools, attracted hla attention. After a Bhort tune he took the young fellow tn bis employ aa a clerk, and 'determined to roar him to business hablta.

George GOT ALONG ADMIRABLY, and as time ran on, Mr. Gorsch. intrusted Urn more and more with the conduct of his business, ttu collecting of rents, stc. Ho had no suspicion that anything waa wrong in his young clerk's accounts until about a year or so, when he discovered that George had appropriated to Ms own use money that be had collccUd. A general examination of the books waa made when a large deficit waa discovered.

Georae, it is said, then confessed to Mr. Gorsch that he had collected between $700 and $800 in the way of rents from timo to time, and had used tbe money, so balancing the books that error could not Immediately be discovered. Mr. Gorsch was inclined to overlook tho matter upon George's profession of repentance and promises to mako good the amount. Then followed the embezzlement of $83.53, and George's hasty exit from the city.

Mr. Gorsch obtained an Indictment against him, and JuBtico Blxby issuod an order for Kobinger's arrest. Deteotlve Ferris, in whose hands tho case was intrusted, learned that Eoblnger had fled to St, Louis, where he has Wealthy relatives. A requisition for tho accused was Issued by Governor Robinson upon tha Governor of Missouri, and armed with this document, the detective, by a decoy letter, brought Koblnger to his room at ono of tho St. Louis hotels.

Eoblngor mads no objection to returning to Now York. Justico Bixby held tbe accused for trial, fixing bail at $1,600. When asked by a reporter how long he had been using hia employer's money be said four or five years, and then in the next breath domed having taken any money. He will bo taken to the City Prison this afternoon. not hesitate at anything that would tend to aggrandize his own interests." Before the interview terminated, Mr.

Brandensteln took paxtionlar exception to the remark of Mr. Daniel Corbin, who had characterized the Jewish people as being "nasty." Tha rabbi said he had never heard that term appUed to his people before, and was sure they did not deaervo it. Mr. liovy States, His Views. An Eaolb reporter to day made diligent searoh in New York to discover the whoreabouto of Mr.

Jules Levy, the distrnguished corneUst, in order. to obtain Ms views on' tho Hebrew question. Mr. Levy, who is the son of Jewish parents, was absent from Manhattan Beach in consequence of a sore lip and atokness in hiB family. He was not at his residence in New York.

In conversation with a genUeman on the subject a few days ago, he remarked: "Why, my dear boy, all the great composers were Jews. Mondelesohn waa a Jew, so was Meyerbeer, so waa Gounod, so was Verdi, so was Rossini," and the cornetiet went on reciting the names of almost every oompotser heard of. Isn't Beaconsfleld a Jew he continued. "Where do you find such a man aa he 1b7 Why, sir, even the Queen has no more power than Beaconsfleld. Do you want to keepBeaconBfleld out of here? Suppose he oame to this coanhy do you want to send him to Brighton SuppoBe he wanted to hear me play as he would have I got to go over to Culver's to play for him After going on in this strain for some time the cor netist finally came to tho conclusion that he had nothing to say on the question at this time.

What a Distinguished Hebrew ournal ist Says. A well known Hebrew Journalist who did not wish his name known said to an Eaolh Beporter Religion 'may as well be put out of this question, on both sides. We havo among the Jews as many free thinkers, even among the clergy witness Felix Adler aa there are in all the Christian churoheB p.ut together. But the Jews are a race, and have the usual amount of race sympatMes and prejudices. It was from this race feeling as a daughter of Judah, that the late Mrs.

Benjamin Nathan out off from aU participation tn tho benefits of her will, any member of the family who should marry outsido of the IeraelitiBh faith. But bow Uttle of real religlouB bigotry thore is among the Jews, yon may judgo of by the fact that the Editor of ono of tho chief Jewish journals is an Episcopalian olergyman who resigned clerical duty for journalism. You ask mo how tho majority of Jows will fool about this exclnsion from the Manhattan Boaoh hotel, and my opinion is very brief, that they wiU foe JuBt as they did when a leading Jewish family were refused admission to the Grand Union Hotol at Saratoga. Tho Jews as a race havo entered as fully into the spirit of American institutions as any other race that has become Americanized. They oling tenaciously to their hereditary customs, but so do other races.

Exolusive noss is no part of tho Hebrew religion or character. Many of our institutions, like tho Mount Sinai Hospital, ore open to sufferers of all boliefs or nono. To Bhow kindness to the is part of tho Jewish religion, and one of tho greatest of Christian novelists, Sir Walter Scott, has done no no more than htstorlo juatioe to the Jews when in "Ivanhoe," the beBt of Ms Btories, he has represented the gontlo Hobrow maiden Reboooa nursing tho wounded knight, and her fathor, though persecuted by the dominant sect, assisting him with a letter of credit on Isaac of York. The question really resolves Itself into this Has tho keeper of a publlo hostelry the right to refuse accommodation to any set of respectable familioB, acting inoffensively and paying thoir way, on account of thoir nationality or religion I do not know if thore is any law to oompol an hotol keepr to givo such accommodation, but I have a strong impression that under the laws of England there is euch a provision, and that an hotel keeper arbitrarily refusing to receive a guest would bo liable to a civil action, in which damages might bo claimed, sinco it is quite poBBibio to conceivo of cases whero such refusal might be attended with Berious injury to the rejected applicants. Supposing, for instance, that thero wore but ono hotel In a place, and that a family had travelod a long distance to roach it, and then, being refused, had to faco a storm outside, and so forth, and sicknoss or death enBued, I have no doubt whatever that an Englioh Jury would givo damages was stabbed near the shoulder.

The wound is not dangerous, but if It had been made two or three inohoa lower It would probably have proved fatal. No arresta have been made. It ia reported that a nob stick spinner in the northern part of the city was stopped by strikers last night who tried to have him quit work.

Extraordinary Conditions Imposed by the Health Ofllcer Which Caused an Alarm of Yellow Fever Prompt Action of the Sanitary Soperlntendent. Alarming reports were in circulation, this morning, to the effect that a vessel had landed at one of the docks with soveral casos of yellow fever aboard.

Owing to tho fact that the dreaded malady had been discovered on a number of vessels which reachod quarantine during tho past two or three weeks, the report waB gonorally believed and much anxiety was felt to ascer tain the exact facts. Inquiries at tho Board of Health at first aeemod to strengthen the alarm, but on oareful investigation it was shown that there was no cause for anxiety and that the Health authorities by their prompt action in tho premises had averted all possible danger. THE FIBBT INTIMATION that a suspected vossol was at the Brooklyn shore, reachod the Health Dopartmont, yesterday afternoon, in tho form of a dispatch from Health Officer Vaudorpoel, aa follows Quarantine, i P. M. Sanitary Superintendent Raymumi PloaBO sco at once brig, San Miguol, at Poillon's ship yard, foot of Bridge street, Brooklyn, and conditions iinuosod by my permit.

S. 0. Vandkbpoel, Health Officer. Sanitary Superintendent Raymond, with two officers, started at once to the place designated, and found that no such vessel as described had been there, or, bo far aa anyone at tho yard could tell, was expected. Before returning to the Health office, Dr.

Raymond called at tho ifork street Station Houso and requested Captain Crafta to have an officer on tho lookout at Poillon's yard and to telegraph to him the moment tho San Miguol arrived. A soven o'clock last evening Dr. Raymond received a dispatcn from the Captain, iuforming him tb3t tho brig had reached tho yard, and ho hurried there without a nioniont's delay. The brig was at tho yard, and tho Captain on the dock, negotiating for having the brig repaired, as she had beon damaged by being run into near Barnegat, on her way to Quarantine. The Captain and the crew, consisting of Bix men, were all Spaniards, mnlri nntnwik a word of English.

Through on interpreter, however, Dr. Raymond ascertained that tho San Miguel had left Havana with part of a oargo or sugar and molasses on tho (ith and had reaohed Quarantine on the I9th. Her bowsprit had been damaged in a collision with an unknown vessel, and it was for tha purpose of having it ropairod that the vessel had como up to tho Brooklyn shore. Dr. Raymond, as roquo3tod by tho Health officer, then asked for THE WEITTEN CONDITIONS under which the brig was allowed to proceed to Brooklyn, and found them to bo as follows Tho brig San Miguel has permission to go to the otty for repairs on tho following conditions: First Tho hatchways to be closed and sealed.

Nrt momViflr of tho crew to bo allowed to leave the vessel, nor have any article of clothing sent ashore. Third The workmen not to be allowed to enter tho hold. nn the completion of repairs the vessel must proceed to tho lightorage ground, between Robblns' Reef and Bedloo's Island, to take in her cargo. Thn pimtAin that he nronosed to take in a cargo in New York, and proceed to tne uanary lsianas. So far as the conditions imposed by Health Officer Vanderpoel were concerned they might as well have beon written in Hebrew as English, as there was not a man on board who understood a word of thom.

Nor wero thoy interpreted. The captain himself baa violated ono of tho conditions by going ashore. Dr. Raymond, bofore taking his departure from the dock, satisfied himself that there was no sickness aboard, but, owing to the extraordinary precautionary injunctions imposed by Hoalth Officer Vanderpoel, ho had two Sanitary officers stationed at tho dock all night to see that tho conditions wore oomplled with. This morning Dr.

Raymond held an interview with tho Health Offlcor The latter stated that when the vessel reached Quaran tine thero was NO SICKNESS ABOARD, but that as sho had been at Havana for two weeks, during which time several deaths from yellow fever had nnr.nrrod at that nort. he deemed It necessary that all possible precautions should ha takon. Dr. Raymond expressed his surprise that tho veesol should nave nllmrnil tn nrnceod to Brooklvn. if there was the slightest suspicion that she was not safe, a not unrea sonable conclusion to rcacn, alter roaaing ur, vauuor poel'B conditions.

The repairs required by tho San Miguel could have been done at quarantine at an additional expense of $10, and Dr. Raymond thought it would have been bettor for that course to us adopted, sooner thau risk the hoalth of over halt a million pooplo. iftnr finmilfinn wlil, Dr flrann.

Waring Hose, alleges that In Norombor, 1878, Edward Thompson died, and that the same month plaintiff was duly appointed administrator awl becam entitled to certain bonds, stocks and securities belonging to the deceased, the nature and vauo of which worn unknown. Of somo of this property the defendant was in possession, namely Of one Erie Bailwsy hood, val ued at $1,030 of United States Wpon bonds worth $460, and of other bonds, stocks and seCurfSUs unknown, which he unlawfully disposed of for his own use to plaintiff's damage, $2,000. By tlcfendast'a acta, plaintiff alleges that he was put to groat trouhht and ax pense, and wss obliged to employ dotectlree to recover tbe property. Incurring thereby an expense of at least $500.

City Attest: D. 8oTHTjy. rracreWry, if a The Sensational Suicide of Two Sisters Near Chicago. Having1 Been Deprived of their Property by their Fattier they Hang Themselves. CaioAoo, 111., July 22.

A distressing and mysterious double gnlolde occurred last night at Hydo Park, a sonthorff anburb of this city. The particulars of which only transpired early tMs morning. Throe maiden sisters, named Elizabeth, Anna and Nina Trowbridge, aged respectively 13, 40 and 30 years, have been living for many years in good Btyle in that town upon revenues delived from an estate left them by their mother. Eecontly their father has succeeded in getting their entire property away, and has left them pennUess. When thoy became fully aware of tMs state of affairs they decided to die together, and spent Sunday aad Monday in preparing for death.

They nailed up the doors and windows and the two elder sisters with moBt careful preparation drove spikes on either Bide of tho casement of tho folding doors, adjusted small hempen cords about their necks and kicking from beneath their feet the books piled on ottomans and chairs, quietly strangled to death. The younger sister, Nina, who is a dwarf, remained, meantime, in an upper ohamber, and although the deed was done at about six o'clock Monday night, she first gave warning at nine o'clock, and the bodies were not cut down until midMght. It was with the greatest diffloulty she could be induced to toll her Btory, and Bhe told it in so disconnected and rambling a way that its accuracy Is even doubted. Sho ia now in a state bordering an insanity. In her chamber was found a knife of razor sharpnoss and a slip of paper, on wMch waa written, "We must nail up the doors." The trio have always been regarded aa very erratic, and although nothing has been known against their oharactor, they have been known to hold noisy and disturbing midnight orgies that are now regarded as evidence of long standing insaMty.

MUNICIPAL. Death of President David Williams of the Fire Department. The Somewhat Eventful Career of a Leading Local Republican Politician Action of the City Authorities Meeting of the Board of City Works Sale of Four Per Cent. Bonds A Shake up in the Board of Audit, Etc. David Williams, President of the Department of Fire and Buildings, and one of the most prominent local Republican politicians, diod last night of consumption at his homo No.

1,489 Pacific street. Ho had been gradually wasting away, and his death was expected daily. Early in tho Summer he wont with his wife and family to Newtown, Connecticut, for the purposo of scouring recreation and rest from his official duties, but hardly with tha hope of complete recovery. About a month ago there was a report circulated in City Hail circles that he had died, but his brother, Sidney Williams, counsel to tho Board of Health, who had just returned from a visit to him, announced that ho was still about, and gavo such an encouraging account of his condition otherwise, that many of Ms frionds in Brooklyn believed that he was not doing ao poorly as had boon represented. The more intimate friendB, however, knew that his condition was hopeless and were not surprised at tho report; but they did not wish story to roach tho ears of the sufferer and kept it as quiet as possible.

A week later, Mr. Williams had failed so rapidly that It was found necessary to remove him to hia homo whero he might die in tho midst of his family and closest friends. A patient, uncomplaining sufforer, ho lingered until shortly boforo cloven o'clook last night, when he passed quietly away. The disease had left him but the shadowjof his former self, and few would recognize In the attenuated frame of the deceasod, tho once active, cheerful, apparently healthy and sympa tMzing man. A SKETCH OP HIS LIFE.

David Williams was born in tho City of Now Vork in 1838, and waa therefore 41 years of ago. His fathor soon thereafter moved to Groenpoint (now the Seventeenth Ward of tho City of Brooklyn) and engaged in the shipbuilding business. The son, when a young man, worked with his father but the business did not suit him, and bo Btudied law, being in due time admitted to tho bar. In later years he began to take an interest in local politics, particularly the politics of his section, and by his energy, perseveranco and the happy faculty he had of making and keeping friends, rapidly worked himself into a prominent position in the affairs of his party. There wore two Kepublican factions in the Seventeenth Ward at that time, the one led by Mr.

Williams, and the other by A. M. BUss, who left tho party in tho Greeley movement, and has since been closely identified with the Democratic party. The struggle for supremacy in the ward resulted in favor of Mr. Williams, and from that time he forged ahead until he secured one of the first places in the councils of hia party in Kings County if not in the State.

BEFOEE THE PEOPLE. Mr. Williams ran for an elective office twice. In 1870 he waa Independent Bepublican candidate for Assembly in the Eighth District against George C. Bennett, regular and Sam, Conselyea, Democratic candidate, and polled about 800 votes, enough to elect Mr.

Conselyea. In 18T4 he was the regular candidate for Assembly in the same district, tho other can didates being Bernard Silverman, Democrat; John Stearns, ProtoctioMBt, and J. Meagher, National Democrat. Mr. Silverman was elected by an ovorwholmlng vote, the figures being Silverman, 4,208 Williams, 2,971 Stearns, 519 Meaghor, 567.

Mr. Williams was a membor of nearly every state convention of Mb party for twenty years. He waa the representative of the Fourth Congressional District on tho State Central Committee in 1875, 1876 and 1877. Ho was candidate again at Saratoga last year, on tho occasion of tho meeting of tho Stat convention but wai beaten by General Crooke, who secured the place by voting for himsolf. Mr.

Williams desired reappointment, but did not complain bocauBO of Mb defeat. It was a triangular fight for the place between nimseir, Crooke and Charley Godard. A settlement could not be had at Saratoga, and the question was referred to the dolegatos from the district to settle upon their return to Brooklyn. Two days afterward Crooko out tho knot by voting for and making himself State Committeeman in Williams' plaoo. Mr.

Williams was a dolegato to two national conventions of Ms party, the last one that of 1870, at Cincinnati. He there favored the nomination of Senator Conkling, of whom be was a warm friend and ardent admirer. He was also a dolegato to many local nominating conventions, and in 1875, in tho city convention, strongly opposed tho nomination of Scnroeder ror Mayor. The two, however, subsequently becamo very friendly. Mr.

Williams was Chairman of the Republican General Committee in 1874, 1875, 1876 and 1877, and cauld have continued to hold tho position had he so desired; He was an unusually good presiding offlcor, being quick, firm and woll up in parliamentary usages, and could handle a large body of men in convention or maBS meeting about bb well as any other man wMch our local politics has developed. Mr. Williams was appointed rBESIDENT OP THE DEPARTMENT of Fire and Buildings in November, 1877. He waa on the "slate" which was put through the Board of Aldermen by the vote of tho late Alderman Shannon. Thoro was considerable criticism made upon hia appointment, but he paid no attention to it and applied himself to studying the affairs of tho department, with which he soon becamo familiar.

Failing health compolled Mm to devote Iobb tlmo and attention to tho Department than he had beon giving it, and ho occasionally sought rest out of town. Mr. Williams was not a large or very stroDg man physically, but up to within a year and a half or two years, he was in apparently good health, eiMblting an energy and vitality which was frequently commented upon by his friends. In his last dayB even, he dleplayed remarkable vitality and an indomitable will. Last Summer he suffered con slderably from malarial fever, and frequently sought the mountainB to escape from it.

About nine months go, Ms health began to fail very perceptibly, and it became apparnet that he waa marked for a victim of the insidious disease wMch caused his death. He rarely, if ever, spoko of his ooudlUon, and sought to provont its discussion whenever the subject was Introduced. OHABAOTEBISTICa OP THE DECEASED. Mr. Williams possessed qualities of head and heart which drew to him many friends.

He is represented as sincere and laBting in bis attachments, and bitter and unforgiving toward his enemies, or aa a well known politician put it this morning, "ho waa a good friend and a bad enemy." As a politician, he waa classed as a consistent Republican. Ho strongly opposed the coalition of two or three years ago.contending that the party had hotter go down in the election with a straight ticket than with a mongrel stamp upon it. He was overruled in the convention, but many of those who had advocated subaequentty admitted that it would have been much better to have nominated a straight ticket. He continued to advocate straight out nominations, but almost at that very time he favored the Schroeder Shannon deal, for Ma nomination as President of the Department of Fire and Buildings was tumbled into the Board of Aldermen along with those of a number of renegade Domocrats. Tha oniy other office, by tho way, filled by appoint ment, to which he aspired was that of City Clerk.

He was the Aldermanic caucus oandidato, but several of the caucus, including "Honest" John French and Alderman Griswold, "bolted" and were the means of defeating Mm. French voted for Mr. Bishop, the present incumbent, who was then re elected, and Griswold voted for Dick Marvin, of the Eleventh Ward. OFFICIAL DEMONSTRATIONS. The announcement of Mr.

Williams' death was received with general regret by the officials and politicians at tha City Hall, New Municipal Building and Fire Headquarter. The flags on the Munlolpal Building wore displayed at half mast. His Honor Mayor Howell, who was not at his office, sent word from his house to City Clerk Bishop to call a special meeting of the Boar of Aldermen lor to morrow at 11 A. to take appropriate action. Mr.

Bishop at once sent out notices to the Aldermen. President Bay and Aldermen Waters and French callca at the Clerk's office for the purposo of uniting in a can for special meeting, but found that the Mayor had anticipated them. They explained that they thought the Jfayor was too 111 to give the matter attention. boabd of orrr works. The Board of City Works held a meeting this morning, all tho members present.

A resolution waa adopted notifying George Glenden ning to appear before the Board to morrow and answer charges that he la not doing Ms work properly. Water Purveyor Milne sent in a communication Betting forth the following urgent work 1st. The most important work required, and in fact urgent, ia the laying of water mains, particularly the proposed twenty inch main on Fourth avenue. 2d. Tho repairs, such as sotting cast iron atop cock boxes, fire hydrants, castings, and repairing drinking hydrants and renewing same in some localities.

3d. Repairing meters and replacing those worn out, etc. The Purveyor also recommended tho addition of ono laborer to assist the gardener at Prospect Hill reservoir. The Southern Railroad Under the Hammer. Its Sale at Auction To day A History of the Road and of the Difflcnlties Which Led to the Transaction.

Special to the Eagle. Jamaica, Jnly 22. The Bouthern Eailroad of Long Island, extending from Hunter's Point and Bushwick to Patch ogue, with the branches to Hempstead and Far Rocka way and tho Beach, and the franchise of a branch from Patohogusto Sag Harbor, wore Bold at auction at twelve o'clock. Tho purchaser is Egisto P. Fabbrl, of the firm of Droiel, Morgan 4 Company, and tho price ts $105,000.

The purchase is said to be in the interest of the holders of the two Issues of bonds under the pooling system which was said to have been agreed upon last Winter. It will bo remembered that early in Juno the road was sold under tho foreclosure of tho second mortgago of $1,000,000, with accrued interest, wMcu mads tho lien over a million and a half, and was bid in by Mr. Wallace, one of the trustees, for the account of the second mortgage bondholders. The branch lines were not included in that sale. THE FIRST MORTGAGE.

Tho amount of the first mortgage under whioh today's sale was made is $500,000, with interest sinco March, 1877. This mortgago was effected in 1874, thrdugh John D. Jones and William Nicoll, as trustees, after the Southern road had passed through bankruptcy and been sold under the foreclosure of tho first mortgage, for wMch Henry Wyokoff and Elbert Floyd Jones were trustees. The now mortgago of half a million was made by the PoppenhuBens, who bocamo tho purchasers for $199,000, James Donohue, brother of Judge Donohue, having bid it up to $195,000. Thia foreclosure shuts out all claims, and gives the concern a new lease of life.

No ono scorns to have any poeitive knowledge as to its future. It is somewhat at the meroy of tho Long Island company. Tho probability is. from all that can bo learned, that an effort will be made to consolidate all the roads, lift them out of their present troubles and tho bauds of the receiver, and start thom on a new basis. This failing, the Southern Company will reorganize and make an effort to re establish the old dopot at the foot of South Eighth street, Wiliiamsburgh.

If this cannot bo done, a torminuB will be oatabUshed at Greenpoint, provided, of course, that satisfactory arrangements cannot bo niado with the Long Island Company to continue as at present. Tho Long Island Company is in a position to bo very oxacttng, as tha New York, Woodhaven and Rock away Beach road, better known as Oakloy's road, which is now building, will pay pretty woll for the privilege of such a terminus. This road will bo a rival of tho Southern road for the Rookaway Boaoh travel, as the Long Island Company's road terminates at Far Rook away. It is safe to assume, however, that, in the ovent of the dissolution of tho present relations botween the two companies, the Long Island track will be oxtendod to the beach. Kutt.

WIFE'S CLAIM. Dower Intercut in 100,000 Worth of Property The Italian Musician who Realized a Fortune The Woman Who Passed as His Wife and Signed Her Name to Deeds, and Then the Real Wife Asking for Her Lawful Interest in Her ICunlmiid's Property Emma Lo Nigro, widow of Solavtore Lo Nigro, has begun seven suits in tho Supremo Court of tMs county againBt numerous defendants, for dower interest In certain property situated as follows On Eighteenth street and Ftfth avonuo, owned by Daniel Scott and Theophile Woll on Eighteenth street, ownod by the Duryea family of East Now York; on Nineteenth street and Fifth avonue, owned by Henry Gerkon on Eighteenth street, owned by Hewlett, Deveral, Jordan and others, and on Nineteenth street and Fourth avenue, owned by ox Rogiflter Schurlg. The plaintiff is a handsome and woll educated woman of 38 years, with five cMldren by Salvatore Lo Nigro, who diod in January of tnls year. They were married in 1857 at the York stroot M. E.

Church by the Rev. Mr. Kolsey. Salvatore Lo Nigro was an Italian and a musician by profession. Whon ho first came to Brooklyn he appeared a tho leader of tho Marine band on board the United States eMp of war North Carolina at the Navy Yard.

After that ho was tho leader of the band at West Point, and subsequently AT WALLACE'S THEATRE IN NEW YORK. When tbe war broke out, he went with a regiment as band master and remained away until 1805. After his return In that year, he bogan to accummulate property and owned at one time real estate valued at $150,000 and now worth $100,000. Soon after his marriage to tho plaintiff In 1857, she discovered that ho was Waiting another woman. Plaintiff refused to live with him and during a great part of their married life they resided apart.

Before his death, however, they wero reconciled. As Lo Nigro bought the proporty, in which plaintiff now claims a dower Interest, he gradually conveyed it away at an advance on the oost. His wife always refused to sign a deed as thoy wero living apart. It was Lo Nigro's custom to pass off the woman with whom ho was living as hia wifo, and Bho signed ail the deeds as "Mary Jane Lo Nigro, "She went before a notary and PERSONATED THE PLAINTIFF, signing her name with a cross. It is claimed that all the purchasers took tho proporty subject to the plaintiff's right of dower, as she never signed tho doeds.

Two pieces of property conveyed thus by Lo Nigro are not the subject of litigation, as in 1870, the parties purchasing discovered that the woman signing the deodB was not Lo Nigro's wifo, and ho gave Ms wife $500 to release her dower. The history of Mary Jano Lo Nigro, aa sho still calls herBolf Is a curious one. Sho camo to this country as a poor Irish girl. Sho was good looking and found em ployment, first at Loavonworth and then at Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis, afissouri.

A musician, now well known in Brooklyn, there became acquainted with her, and a prominent General in the army was not blind to hor charms. She camo to Now York, and found occupation on a farm in Now Joreey. Thore sho became acquainted with ono Uriah Hardick and was marriod to him. Sho was jealous, however, of a negress, and determined after a wook to qMt her new huaband. He was a Protestant and she a Catholio, and they had beon married by a Protestant minister.

Hardlck's sister waa a Catholic, and THE JEALOUS WIFE went to consult her. Tho parish priest happened to be there and he aJviBod hor at once to leave Hardick, aa he said it was as bad to be married to an unbaptised man as to a beast. The wife deserted her husband and returned lo New York. There sho bogan a search after her old Same, the Italian musician. She did not then find him, but she attracted the attention of Salvatore Lo Nigro, a black eyed, amorous Italian, and they lived together.

Afterward Lo Nigro married the plaintiff, but soon returned to Mary Jane who passed aa his wife, as before mentioned. In each of the suits a lis pendens has been filled againBt tho proporty. Mr. W. H.

Gaynor represents the plaintiff. Tho defendants appear by Mesare. D. P. Barnard, S.

The advantages of the Bay Bidge water front for warehousing and shipping purposes have long boon apparent, and yesterday an announcement was made wMch marks the inauguration of a new enterprise, wMch proposes to utilizo a portion of tho water front of thia locality for commercial purposes.

(JMr. Archer, of Archer's Naval Stores, at Red Hook, has purchased of a Mr. Brown a front of 2,000 feet on either side of Bay Ridge avenue, whioh cornea down to tho water front, a short distance beyond the Manhattan and Sea Beach docks. For year Mr. Archer has carried on the naval Btores business at Red Hook, He now proposes to build a bulkhead on tho property and construct a number of piers, from 600 to 800 feet long and 200 feet wide.

This will afford extensive wharf accommodations and will enable vessels of the deepest draft and heaviest tonnage to come to the piers. A number of large brick warehouses will be constructed and other improvements made wMch will undoubtedly develop the port into a considerable eMpplng centre in the next few years. It Is proposed to have 1,500 feet of the piers constructed within tho next six months. At tha pier end there will be a depth of 60 feet of water, and tho allp3 will be dredged out next Spring to a minimum depth of 23 feet. Mr.

Archer will use about 600 feet of the front as a naval store warehouse, and applications have also been made for tho storage of grain. An clovator will probably lie constructed. The wharves will be available for "gross storage, such as lumber and other heavy articles. Next year it is proposed to re establish the Bay P.Idge Ferry, for the conveyance of trucks and passengers. The general plan of the docks and warehouses is (aid to be something like the Atlantlo Basin.

If a start ia onoe made in this direction, it is probablo that other enterprises will follow, and that in a few years Bay Ridge will bo a manufacturing and shipping centre. The construction of the BlackweU's I aland Bridge would bring the place in connection with tho railroad systems of the Interior of tbo Btate. SUDDEN DEATH AT AN EXCURSION.

Interviews with Several Well Known Hebrew Citizens, Including1 a Rabbi and a Distinguished Hebrew Journalist The Social, Religious and Legal Aspects of the Question. The question of the respective rights of the people of the Hebrew faith and hotel keepers has been again brought forward in rather a vigorous and direot manner by way of an interview with President Austin Corbin, President of the Manhattan Beach Railway and Hotel, published in the Herald this morning, and given below. This reBurrection of a question which caused so much talk whon originally raised by Judgo Hilton, in connection with the Grand Union Hotel at Saratoga, mja the more unexpected from the fact that the Manhattan Beach Hotel has been and la doing all the business it can manage, and because any apprehension that Hebrews were interfering with it by their presence and driving away the more fastidious guoBts of other persuasions had not been apparent. Tho artioie in the Herald, is as oUowa The war against the Jews which was carried on at Saratoga two years ago is apparently to be rovlvod at Coney Island. This time it is in a quarter whero the Jewish residents of New Eork City are particularly aimed at.

Several days ago a rumor was circulated to the effect that Austin Corbin, the President of the Manhattan Beach Company, had taken an open stand against admitting Jews to tho beach or hotel. This report was on Sunday strengthened by a statement from Mr. P. 8. Gilmore, the leader of the Manhattan Beach band, who said that Mr.

Corbin told him he was going to oppose the Jews, and that he would rather sink tho two millions invested in the railway and hotel than have a single Israelito take advantage of its attractions. A representative of the Herald called upon Mr. Corbin at his banking establishment in the new Trinity building, No. 115 Broadway, yesterday, to ascertain what foundation there was for these most extraordinary rumors. Mr.

Corbin at first exhibited some timidity about talking on tho subject, but finally invited the reporter into his private offico, where he was joined by Ms brother and partner, Daniel 0. Corbin. THEY EXPECT TOO MUCH, "You began, "I don't want to speak too strongly, as it might be mlstakon for something entirely difforent from its intended sense. PersonaUy I am opposed to Jews. Thoy are a pretentious olass who expeot three times as much for their money as other people.

They givo us more trouble on our road and in our hotel than we can stand. Another thing ia that they are driving away tho class of pooplo who are beginning to mako Coney Island the most fashionable and magnificent watering place in the world." Of course, this must affect business?" Why, thoy are hurting us in every way, and we do not want them. We cannot bring the highest social elemont to Manhattan Beach if tho Jowe persist in coming. They won't asBoctate with Jews, and that's all there is about it." "Do you intend to make an open stand againBt them?" "Yes, I do. They aro contemptible as a class, and I never knew but one 'white' Jew in my life.

The rest I found were not safo people to deal with in business. Now I feol pretty warm over this matter, and I will write a statement which you can publish," AN "OPPICIAI." EXPRESSION. Mr. Corbin sat down at hla desk and wrote a few sentences on a slip of papor as follows "We do not like tho Jews as a olass. There are some well behaved people among thom, but as a rulo they make themselves offensive to the kind of1 people who principally patronize our road and hotel, and I am satisfied we should be better without than with their cuBtom." "There," said he, handing tho statement to tho reporter, that is my opinion, and I am prepared to follow up tho matter.

It is a question that has to be handled without glorea. It stands this way: "Wo must have a irood nlace for eooiety to natronizo. I say that we cannot do bo and have Jews. Thoy are a detcstablo and vulgar people. What do you say, eh, Dan?" This last sentence was addrcssod to his brother, Mr.

Daniel Corbin, who had taken an active part in tho conversation. Dan said with great emphasis, Vulgar I can only find ono term for them, and that is nasty. It describes the Jews perfectly." Mr. Austin Uoruin tueu apoKO warmiy oi mu Iobb sustained by the Manhattan Beach Company in consequence of Israeli tiBb patronage. "Do vou mean.

Mr. Corbin. that tho presence of Jowb attracts tho elemont of rufflauism asked tho reporter. "Not always. But the thing is this The Jews drive off the whoso places aro filled by a lesa particular class.

The latter are not rich enough, to have any preference in tho matter. Even they, in my opinion, bear with them only because thoy can't help it. It is not the Jew's religion I object to; it is the offouaivoness Whiou thoy possess as a soot or nationality. I would not oppose any man Decause oi nis oraea." "Will the other members of the Manhattan Beach Company support you in your position "I expect thom to. They know just as much about it asl do.

and no reasonable man cau deny that tho Jews will creep in a plaoo just as it is about to Dooomo a grana suocesB and spoil everything. They aro not wanted at the Beach and that settles it." "Have you spoken to any other membora about it?" "No, but I guess thoy know my opinions." Mr. Corbin rose from the ohair he had beon sitting on and paced the floor. "I'll toll you," Baid ho, running Ma Anna thrnnoh bis hair, "if I had had my way. and there was no ono to consult in the matter but myself.

I would have stopped the Jews from coming long ago. You inBt nubllsh my statement. It covers tho whole ground, and I mean every word of it." Mr. Corbin concluded the conversation by telling the reporter to be sure and not give the impreaeion that he was warring against me jewiBU rongiuu, um uu tmgmi tized the Jews as having no place in firet class Boeiety. What President Murphy Says.

An Eagle reportor this morning called upon tho Hon. Henry C. Murphy, Prosident of the Brooklyn, Fiatbush and Coney Island Railway, and asked his opinion on the question raised between President Cor bin and the Hebrew peoplo, and whether any difficulty had arisen from the attendance of Israelites at Brighton Beach. President Murphy was reluctant to speak on the sub ject, but finally expreBBed himsolf as follows "We have never had any trouble with the Hebrews at Brighton Beaoh. In fact, I have never found them thero in sufficient numbers to be observable.

We have recolved no complaints from our other patronB on tho ecore of their visits to the hotel at the terminus of our road." As to the action of President Corbin or its probable effect on the beach President Murphy declined to bo in terrogated. Wcclislcr, Abraham Views. In the absence of Mr. Abraham, of the above named firm, who Is in Europe, and of Mr. Weoh Bler, who had gone to New York for.the day, no expression of opinion could be had from either of the firm.

Mr. Collins, the third partner, is a New England man and resides in New York City. The buslnoSB manager of the houso, Mr. Hurd, also a New England man, had nothing to say on the subject, and could not tell what viewB the gentlemen of the firm would hold on the eub Jeot. Mr.

Wechsler ia a frequent visitor to the Island, going down after business hours to enjoy tho attrac tions of tho music and tho beach, car. Aoranam is a resident of New York, and rarely viBtts tho Island for this reason, and becauso of tho additional fact that his Summers are mainly spent in Luropo. Mr. Weohsler, senior member of the firm of Wachslor Brother, of Fulton street, had not read the article and had not learned of the position of Mr. Corbin, on the subjeot of excluding tho Israelites from Manhattan, until informed by tho reporter.

He thought it a mistake on the part of the hotel proprietor, and said that it was not a good plan to exclude any one seot or pooplo from public places. So far as the Jews were concorned, he thought thoy would never go to the Manhattan again, and said, that while ho was a liberal hlmBelf ho could not but bo hurt at tho foeling exhibited toward his race. Mr. WechBler was unwilling to talk at atl, and gavo only tho most moderate replies, declining positively to state more than a general opinion, not being outirely con versant with the position taken by tho hotel people on this subject. Judge Hilton's Policy.

A reporter of the Eagle called at Judge Hilton's store, on Broadway and Tenth street, to learn from him tho results of his polioy of exolusion of Israelites from tho Grand Union Hotel, Saratoga. Neither Judge Hilton nor Mr. Libby waB in town, and thoro was nobody to represent thom on that subject. What the Rabbi Brandensteln, of Con gregation Beth Elohim, says The wholesale denunciation of the Jewish people as a clasB, by Mr. Austin Corbin, President of tho Manhattan Beach Railway, published in a morning contemporary, seems fatod to revive the war against this race whioh was carried on with so much anlmoBlty two years ago, at Saratoga, by Judge Hilton.

Mr. Corbin expressod himself as being strongly opposed to tne Is raelites either his hotel at the beach or tho railroad leading to it, on the same grounds takon by Judge Hilton, that tbey havo the effect of driving away tho wealthier and hotter olass of peoplo. An Eaom: reporter called this morning on the Rev. Goorgo Brandensteln, rabbi of Beth Elohim, at his rosldonco, No, 233 Bridge street. Tho reverend gentleihan had not seen the article in question, and when it waa pointed out to him he read it with an expression of surprise on his countenance, not unmlnglod with a Blight tinge of contempt.

'What do you think of Mr. Corbin'a opinions?" asked tho reportor. I was not aware." answered the rabbi, "that such prejudice Btill xi6tod among oivillzod people. I don't know where Mr. Corbin imbibes bis views from, and I cannot Imagine what he has against tho Jews.

This animosity seems to be OLEABLT RACE PREJUDICE, as he advances no reasons for his distinction other than we are Jews. This seems to mo very foolish for a man of supposed intelligence." What do you think the effect will be on your people who have heretofore patronized Manhattan Beaoh?" "I think they will go somewhere elae. That Is, all self respecting Jews will. Coney Island is too large a placo, and the field for amusement is too wide to confine the neople who go down there to Manhattan Beach. I think Mr.

Corbin makes this pronunclamento rather late in the day. Why did be not speak out when Man hattan Beaoh was first started. This resort is now in its third year, and its success is established boyond all peradventure, and by whom? VTiy, by the very peoplo Mr. Corbin so bitterly denounces. The jows patron ized the Beach from the start, and it was owing mainly, perhaps, to this vary patronage, once coveted but now deeolBCd.

that the resort owes its success." "Yon think, then, that Mr. Corbin doss your peoplo an injustice In publishing such sentiments?" "I do, and I would like Mr. Corbin to state through tbe Eaqlb bis SEASONS FOB ABVBIHO THE JEWS tn what manner they can be detrimental to Mb business, Oi injure Mm.

"In ease any of your people were refnsed entertain.

German Grirl's Love Experience. An Acquaintanceship with Thcophilus Kryckie Culminating in the Use of the Pistol Examination of a Remarkable Case Before Judgre Semler Tho Plaintiff in the Perjury Case Claims to Have Been Crazed by Love When ho Shot the Defendant. This morning, before Justice Semler, the case of TueopMlua Kryckie against Tekla Hilgeman came up for examination. The complaint was one of perjury. The details of the case aro of a most interesting character, and were this morning, for the first timo, given in evidence.

Tho facts, briefly told, appear to be aa follows Kryckie is a German tailor, doing business at No. 13 Ormond place, while the defendant is a young married German woman, living with hor Husband at No. 878 Eighth avenue, Now York. Her maiden name was Tekla Krolekemenz. She has been In this country some ten years, is prepossessing in appearance, and her present trouble with Kryckio is tho oulmluatlon of a Iovor's quarrol.

She met Kryckie in 1875 at a ball, and next day they wero brought, together at tho residence of a Mrs, Mettracn No. 107 Grand Btreet, Eastern District. Theophilus was ardent in his attentions, and soon became a frequent visitor at the Grand street residence where Tekla was boarding. The young lady olaimed not to favor his suit, saying he had "a wild look," and that sho was afraid of him. Soon Tekla went to Germany to see hor mothor, but judging from tho letters she sent to.

Theophilus from that country, and which were producod in evidence this morning, she did not go with the express intention of getting out of the roach of Theophilus as she claimed. Ho wrote to her and she answered. When Tekla returned to this country she was met at Castle Garden by TheopMlus, who is alleged to have taken charge of her satchol and took her to a room on Essex street where ho boarded. On asking the girl to marry him and receiving a negativo reply, Theophilus LOOKED TEKLA. IN HIS ROOM and kept her thero for threo days on a diet of broad and water, saying that he was determined to "curb her stubborn spirit." At last the girl managed to escape, and immediately went to Mrs, Mettrach'a house, in Grand streetthat lady having by tMs time removed to No.

1G3. Mrs. Mettrach kept a bakery store, and Tekla assisted her in her manifold duties. Ono evening Tekla was in tho store when Bho was shot at four times ono of the balls, sho alleges, penetrated her breast. Kryckie she alleged to bo her assailant, and Bhe made a complaint against Mm of assault and battery with intont to kill.

On tMs charge Kryckie was tried in the Court of Sessions, before Judge Moore, being found gntlty, and recoiving a sentence of five years in the Penitentiary. He only served three yoars, and when he again breathed free air his first action was to obtain a warrant for tha arrest of Tekla (now become Mrs. Hilgeman), charging her with perjury in the Court of Sessions. He affirmed that Tekla and one Charlos Appol, or No. 435 East Eighteenth street, New York, testified falsoly in swearing that Tekla was shot by him.

This morning all the parties to the case were in court. Mr. Fenton Rockwell appearing for the complainant and S. Giffard Nelson for tho defendant. There was considerable argument betweon counsel in opening the case, and then the complainant waa placed an the stand.

Ho Is 30 years of ago, of medium stature, with thick, bushy hair and black eyes. Ho testified that ho resides at No. 13 Ormond plaoo; ho met Tekla Krolekemenz in ho month of March, 1875, at a ball, in Now York he talked with her for a short time, then left, and afterward met her at No. 107 Grand street, in tMs city he remembered going to Tekla's house, about eight o'clock on the evening of the 7th of April he waa in love with Tekla, but at the timo was "crazy" because the girl had promised in writing to marry him, and had not complied with her promise he had letters to prove tho tender relationship existing betweon them, and their correspondence when Tekla went to Germany was as regular as clockwork. The following letters from Tekla Krolekemenz to Theophilus Kryckio were offered in evidence DESIRING TO MARRY HIM.

GiUTZ, Germany, January 19, 1876. Well Liked Thkophildb To day I received your letter and I gave you tho answer. I have read that I am dear to you and it is only mo can make you happy. If it was not for the sea wo would not bo separated. Oh, how I would like to sweeten your life, I remain true to you dearest Theophilus.

You need not doubt it, and I assure you that I desiro to marry you. I hope that you will not scold any more, but trust that the God who separates will join us together. Oh, if you only knew, dear Theophilus, how happy I am when I receive your lottors. My dear, you tell me that you ate all alona in America, and that you are in a hurry for mo. After this letter I hopo you will have confidence in me because God would punish me if I deceived you.

I do squeeze your hands with all my heart. T. DEAREST HEART. Gbatz, Germany, Feb. 15, 1870.

Deahest BteABT You must bo wondering why I did not answer your letter of January 15, on account of what you write in that letter. No, my dearest heart, I am telling you the truth. I have no Intention of making fun of you, my deareBt love. I many times tMnk of you. Dear, dearest heart, if I ever looso you, no money will ever satisfy me.

I am sure that thoro is nobody else in the world that loves mo more than you, and you can be sure that I will love no one else but you till I am dead. You write me further that some people are saying wrong of me, but after tMs I can prove it that they have been speaking wrong of me. I greet you, dearest heart and lovoly Theophilus, and I will soon be Your wifo, T. K. SQUEEZING HIS HANDS WITH VIGOR.

Gbatz, Germany, February 23, 1878. Hi Deuiest Trropar I am writing further, my deareat heart, that my mother will not come with me to America. I am very much obliged to you for your good heart to me and for being so kind and forgiving. I beg of yon nosrto get md at me, because I like you too much. I givo you notice that in fifteen days I start for Hamburg.

I start with great pleasure for your home, becauso I am sure your heart is in trouble waiting for me. I squeeze your hands with vigor and Btoy your faithful friend till death, T. K. The examination of the witness waa continued. He testified that on the evoMng in question he went out to tho place whore Tekla was sitting with Mrs.

Mettrach. He waa "crazy" at the time, and soon went into the street with tho Intention of Bhootlng himself. He fired off the pistol but did not do himself any injury. Ho had previously told Tekla that he was going to shoot himself. He did not hold the pistol in the direction of Tekla, but fired it toward himself.

Q. How oame it that if you fired toward yourself the ball did not hit you I A. I do not know. Witness continued The pistol waa produoed in the Court of Sessions, and four cartridges were then taken out of it by tho District Attorney. When the pistol was fired Tekla had screamed and said she was shot.

Wltnosa then put tho pistol in Ma pockot, and was removed from the scene of the oeourrenoo by a citizen named Andrew Garrett. Cross oxamiued I WAS OBAZT when I went to Tekla's house by crazy I mean that I was terribly excited. Q. When you pointed tho pistol toward yourself did the ball hit you 7 A. No, sir.

Counselor Nelson Great pity. Mr. Nelson had to apologize to tho court for his remark. Charles Legler was placed on tho stand. He could not speak English, and tha services of an interpreter were brought into use.

His testimony was of little importance, aa it did not directly bear on tbo esse. Tekla Krolekemenz, the defendant, was" called to the stand. Bhe testified that a ball from Kryckio's pistol entered her aids, and she showed tho court undergarments through wMoh tho ball had penetrated. She admitted having sent the above letters to Theophilus. Counselor Nelson asked that tho complaint be dls mlsaed.

Judge Semler took tho papers and reserved. Ms de cision, COUNTY. The Troubles of the Coney Island Mackmcn.

In relation to the appropriation of $2,500 for the parado ground, and $1,500 for the maintenance of tho Concourse at Coney Island, Hup. Moran said that a Committee from tbe backuion bad waited upon him and onterod a protest against any appropriation in tbo goneral tax levy for tho Department of Parks, if it was to be expended for the benefit of private individuals instead of tho at large. They protested against tho Concourso being irivon over for tho benefit of privato parties to the exclusion of the hackuion.

Mr. John Gallagher, President of the Hsckmon's Association, said they had a serious grievance to complalu of. In driving them off from the Conco and refusing to allow them to stand thero they had been donled of their rights in favor of a Hue or stagea. Sup.

Tho Tark Commissioner said it was necessary, and he was in favor of allowing them to construct the stand. Sup.

John Gallagher in the chair, and considered a communication received from Colonels Brownell and Rueger, asking the Board of Supervisors to select a site for the State Armory, which Is to be erected in tbe Eastern District, in accordance with the act passed by tho lato Leginlature. Bath offlcors were in attendance before tho committee. Colonel Brownell, of the Forty seventh Regiment, said he had not pitched npon any especial site for the armory, but he agreed with Colonel Rueger, of the Thirty second Regiment that the building should be located In the Nineteenth Ward. That would be a central spot for the two oommanda wMch wero to occupy the armory.

Sup. Quick asked how largo a Bite would be necessary. Colonel Brownell said he thought a space 2 60 1 600 feet would be large enough. Sup. Quick said only $100,000 had beon appropriated by the Stato and a building of the sizo indicated would coat ho thought $100,000.

Colonel Brownell said tha quarters would be furnished at tho oxpouso of the regiments, and It would not bo necessary to put up a costly drill room. Sup. Quick inquired what lots could bo purchased suitable for the purpose of an armory, in the Nineteenth Ward. Colonel Ruerger suggested tha purchase of the old Union Ball Grounds. Sup.

Quick asked if any other site had been thought of. Colonol Rueger said several other sites had beon thought of. One was a block abovo and the other three or four blocks below tbo ball grounds. The last mentioned wore, however, rather swampy. Sup.

GaUagher asked If the ball grounds were for sale. Colonel Brownell saldMr. Wyokoff, President of the First National Bank, could give the committee the do sired information. Sup. Quick moved tho appointment of a sub committee of three to make the necessary inquiries aa to sites, and ascertain what they could bt purchased for.

I believe, moreover, that if the loading no brow families thought it worth wMle to tako action in tho matter, the Supreme Court of the United States would decide that Buch refusal was a breach of oontract with tho power that grantod tho license to keep tho hotel, and that they would pronounce it at variance with the Bpirit, if not the letter, of the law and tho purposes for wMch public hostelries are kept. I havo been out West and lived in big hotels where several Jewish families resided in tho Summer, and I never saw the slightest collision, diffloulty or annoyanco occasioned by the difference of race and religion. One of the most benevolent merchants in California is a Jew, and whon he gives a dinner party ho never pauses to think whether the guestB to be invited are Jows or Christians, so long as ha knows them to be ladies and gentlemen.

Nor, when ho puts Ms baud in his pocket, to relievo distress, does it make the slightest difference to him whether the applicant be a Roman Oatholio, a Protestant, a free thinker or a Jow. Considering that the origin of Christianity was whoUy Jewish and that if Jewish devotional, philosophical and spiritual elements in it were eliminated, it would havo no claim to be considered a rollgion at all, I cannot but think that this social ostracism of tho Jow in tho Nineteenth Century comes with very bad grace from Christians. However, if the peoplo of tho United States are satisfied with this etato of things, tho Hebrews can certainly afford to buUd hotels for themselves. What a Learned Lawyer Says. A reporter of the Eagle called on a well known legal gentleman to ascertain what logal issues might arise from tho position assumed by Mr.

Corbin, who intimates in Ms interview that ho would favor the excluding of the Jews altogether from Ms Manhattan Beach. The conversation ran about as follows "Did you eee Mr. Corbin's interview in the Herald this morning about tbB Jcwb?" 'You want to interview me about that, do you? Oh, no you don't. It may be all right for Mr. Corbin, but' a retainer from a Jow ia as good to a lawyer as anyooay i.

else's." "I don't want you to talk about the morits of the question. I desire information about tho legal points if there be any." Well," said the lawyer jocosely, "havo you a retainer for me?" Tho reportor confessed that he had not. Well, said tho lawyer, go ahead perhaps I can help you. Leave my name out." Under the Civil Rights act has a notei keeper mo right to exclude a man of any race from his hotel No: but if a hotol keepor should toll a man ho hadn't a room, or if ho Bhould put a man to sleep in a room over his kitchen or Mb furnace, it would be bad for the man if he accepted such accommodations." But, under the Civil Rights aot, could a hotel keeper say above board, 'I do not chooso to furnish you with entertainment, becauso I do not like tho race you belong WeU," said tho lawyer, musingly, what you want to get at is this A colored man cannot bo donled accommodation in a hotol because of his color. Such is the intention of the low.

But If I am not mistaken, the ho tels at a pleasure resort are held not to be hotels within tho meaning of tho statute. I think tMs distinction has been made In a caso passed upon by a Judge of the Supremo Court." "Do you know whero I can nna tne oaso "I think it is a Louisiana case. This is perhaps enough for your purpose. If tha weather was cooler I would try to hunt it up. If you want to give me a "re rosher" in the shape of check I will brace myself to the task regardless of the thermometer.

Now, withhold my name; don't make me say that I indorse Corbin for that would annoy certain friends of mino who are Jows; don't say that I do not indorse him, lor there is a certain lady and her two daughters, who agree entiroly with Corbin, and it so haopens that Uiobo three ladles could caU me to task this very afternoon, at about six o'clock. Now, don't make a row in the family on tho Jewish question, by saying that I am anti Corbln. Don't mako a row for mo anywhere else Dy putting me down pro Corbin." TMs was aU tho interview realized of interest to tho Eaqle. Views of a I ady Who With Her Family Frequents the Brighton. A lady who has frequented the Brighton exclusively since its opening, was asked her opiMon of Mr.

Corbin's courseand said The reason I always spend my time at the Brighton is that I find the beBt class of people thore; the more evenly divided crowd, so far as nationality, condition and good breeding go." Am I opposed to Jews No, if 'you refer to race prejudico yes, if you moan aa follow gueBts. They aro the worst possible examples to havo before children, and even in hotels mothers aro particular about tho peoplo with whom thoir cMldren associate or have opportunity to observe." "Are not the Jows the most moral of people In your opinion, Madame "They have many excellent domeBtlo qualities, and I doubt not their home Hvob are free from many objec tionable features to bo found in American homes, pei haps, but the question of morality is not the point at issue." "Well, on what grounds do you object to Jews "There are but two classes among the men, so far as I have knowledge of tho race the very gifted and scholar. ly Jews, a very few of whom are to be found in this country, and the middlo class, who are coarse and vulgar in aocloty, trioky in business and bigoted in religious belief. As to the women, I have been unfortunate in my very limited acquaintance, per hapB, but 1 have never known one who possessed gentle They are obtrusive and ordinary! with no pretentions to cultivation or true ladyhood. Thoir manners aro exceedingly disagreeable, and their example in every respect distasteful.

There are great women wuo are vi jumnu thore are many of exquisite refinement, but I havo never seen them in the hotels of the large cities, at the watering places where I have been, or in the few publio gatherings whero they have prcsonted themselves." The lady was asked if she thought the would not compare favorably with any other class, tho Germans, for instance, or foreigners of whatever country, who frequent the watering places. No thoy will not, because among other foreigners If the Jew who is in every country and has no nation aUty anywhere, can bo called a foreigner there were many distinctive classes. The Jewish peoplo are, with notable exceptions aa I have said, all on par, mentally, morally and spiritually. They are not neat or in thnir TnaTinATB are notorious? rude and disagreeable, and their social customs are those wholly distasteful to American women of any degree of real respectability. I would not permit a daughter of mine to be thrown with tho Jowesoes who go to Manhattan Beach for instance, simply beoause it wonldbeagreatinJuBticeto her.

Tho women represent a type of womanhood, wMcb. the better class of womanhood in this country look down upon as something inferior.

And for the same reason I would object to my son coming in contact with tho average man OI inn race, ao ib a groveier, is uoouuui new of money, possessed of kindness of heart often times, bot rarely ever of true principle.

Elch Jews como down hero and bring their wires and daughters occasionally, bnt they do not care to stay long, because they aro without kinship with us. The dowdy looking matrons, who wear immense diamonds in their ears and on their bands and whose hair and fingernails proolalm them untidy and vulgar, are illiterate as well, and the daughters seem not to be in advance of their parents in any respect. The Jews are obnoxious, and if tho Brighton entertained them and they were hero in numbers, there are any number of Brooklyn ladles who would never ho vrill nav for the Jews, that they WUUiv uv are not any more ill bred in some respects than very many Americans, but they are, without exception, more disagreeable in all ways, and have habits a which nraoludo tho nossibility of their ever getting up to the level of the well bred and tho refined oi other now vt i.
