The Bravo Conduct of Two Young Men. Last evening, previous to 8 o'olock, John Maoh laaky, a Pole, took a bath from tho dock foot of South Third street. Ho had been in tho water but a fow minutes when he began ahouting for help, having boon eolzed, as subsequently appoared, with a cramp. That attracted the attention of a boy fishing off the dock, who promptly Btarted away on a run to summon aid to the drowning man. Two young men, named John Connors and Thomas Hall, opportunely happened to bo in the vicinity.

Having learned what was wanted of them they quickly ran down the dock, and Connors, without stopping for anything, plunged into the river as the man was going down for tho third time. As Connors caught hold upon the drowning man's wrist A Flacky Bow up the Hudson In a Storm and a Delightful Sunday Afterward. The eight oared barge party whioh started from the Nereid Boat Club house, at the foot of Smith street, on Saturday, returned from Englewood, on the Hudson, last evening, after a trip that the participants will always remember pleasantly. As was stated in the Eaole on Saturday, the orew pulled the boat around to the foot of Thirty fourth street, New York, on Saturday morning and, leaving her there, went down town to ottond to business. They assembled again at five o'clook in the afternoon, and although tho rain was coming down in a very wet manner at the time, tne Doya determined to carry out their part of the arrangementB' rather than disappoint their friends at the Palisade Mountain House, who had made generous preparations for the reception of the party.

It might be Bald, too that ono of the beat obeyed unwritten laws of the Nereid Club is to allow NO POSTPONEMENT of any event because of unpropitlous weather. The row to Englewood was plnokily made in the penetrating rain and against the strong ebb tide of the river. Good humor prevailed in the boat, however, and the row up was by no means aa disagreeable as it might havo beon in fine weather, Englewood was reached at eight o'clook, and after dining a German was Indulged in in the large dancing hall of the hotel. Sunday woe occupied principally in Btrolling about the beautiful country around Englewood, and the enjoyment of the charming scenery of the Hudson, which Dora Pedro, Don Carlos and many other noted travelers have pronounced to be the finest river scenery in tho world. The exourslonists left Englewood at six o'clock lost evening, and arrived at the boathouse a little before nine, thoroughly satisfied with their trip, and beginning to moke plans for another one.

On the boat were Messrs. B. S. Bussing, H. O.

Broun, Fred. Flske, John MorBholl, O. Middleton, A. Watson, Lynch, Britton and a few others.

COURT NEWS. The Latest Coney Island rab. In the application of the New York and Brighton Beach Railroad Company to acquire land on Coney Island for the purposes of a depot Wm. Hem atreot was this morning appointed reforeo by Judge Barnard to take testimony and report to the Court. Why Judge Barnard Denied the Ap plication of a Claimant to Fart of Coney Inlands Commissioners were appointed by the Su preme Court to take land on Coney Island for the use of the New York and Sea Beach Railroad Company.

This mornlnir, bofore Judge Barnard, John Emmons applied, through McBbrs. Smith Chapln, to be allowed to become a party to the matter. Emmons claimed two thirty ninths of a certain part of the Island, as heir of an original patenteo. Mr. Edgar M.

Cullen, for the railroad, said that the right course for tho applicant was to tost his olaim by an ejectment suit. Mr. Thomas E. Pearsall, for the Town of GraveBend, said that Emmons brought a suit in ejectment against the town, and in January last it waa discontinued. Last March anothor suit was begun and that also was discontinued.

Enimens had no interest in the lands. The town had been in uninterrupted possession of them for over a hundred years. At the town meetings tho ancestor of thp applicant had attended, and when the leases were mado he offered no objeotion, though the funds arising from them were to go to the town. Tho applicant ought to begin an action in ejectment if he had any just claim. Judge Barnard said that, assuming Emmons was right, which his Honor did not for a moment admit, he did not beliovo in the good faith of tha applicant.

These olainis were common when a rise in land took place. When a man died without heirs everybody was bis heir. The application must be denied with costs. Contested Wills. Edward Walker died in this city last May leaving an estate worth about $15,000, which, by will, he bequeathed to his step daughter.

The deceased had a sou of tha samo name, who is a policeman in the Third Proclnot. The eon contests the will on the ground of undue influence. John Daly and Frauds Freeze have been examined and have testified that thoy were present when a former will drawn by Walker was burned, and that his stop daughter held alight to the document when in the hand of the deceased. The case has gone over until September. The will of the late John Bradford, Paymaster of the tin! tod States Navy, has been offered for probate, and is contested by his son on the ground of mental in capacity and undue influence.

A BREWERY DESTROYED. The Establishment of Fred. Licht, at East Williamsburgl! Burned. About 1 o'clock this morning the lager beer brewery of Fred. Licht, at East WUUamBburgh, was disoovered to be on fire, by a belated pedestrian of the neighborhood.

Except for the purpose of awakening Mr. Lioht's family, who live in close proximity to the brewery, and the villagers, the alarm sounded waa of slight utility. The settlement doeB not possess a single fire apparatus of any kind, whllo the nearest firs engine is two miles or more distant. In this dilemma the sole meanB at hand for tho extinguishment of the fire was a forcepump in the brewery. This proved next to useless, owing to tbe lack of good hose, consequently the flames grew in extent and volume and soon enveloped the entire structure.

Several Eastorn District fire companies were turned out by an alarm for this fire, rung for Station IB. When It was discovered that the burning building was far beyond the city limit Engineer Smith ordered the companies homo, well knowing that water in sufficient quantity could not be found available in tho vicinity of the fire. The brewery and ice house attached were well proportioned structures, built of brick. Nothing bnt the walls of olther remain standing. Mr.

Licht says he may be enabled to maintain his business, howover, as he has a goodly Btock of lager in his cellars, whioh waa not damaged by the fire. The loss can only be estimated, at present, as it will be impossible to determine the preclso amount until tho premlBeB can be thoroughly overhauled. At rough guess it cannot fall short of 25,000, probably. Mr. Licht ia said to be insnred for $20,000.

Exactly how tho fire originated is not definitely known. MORE COMPLAINTS. This morning Alderman Black, of the Fourth Ward, made anothor complaint In the Health Dep art ment to Sanitary Superintendent Bayniond, againBt Contractor Swift, who is supposed to remove dead animals. The Alderman said that while he was loth to appear in the oharaoter of a complainant, yet he was compeled to do so. Besidente of this ward had come to him frequently since the hot term commenced, complaining of dead animals which had not been removed from tho streets all day yesterday, all day on Saturday, and since Friday night last a dead horse hod been allowed to remain in Tillary street, and had not been removed yet.

The carcass was putrid and highly offensive to the residents of tho vloinity, whose health is endangered by tho effluvia arising from the dead animal. Several residents of the Eastern District also mode complaints of tho same nature, and thoae have been so common of late that the matter is to be made the subject of special Inquiry by the joint Boards of Health anil City Works. MAGGIE BEABDON'B ASSAILANT COMMITTED.

The Eagle contained an account last Saturday of the complaint mode by Miss Liizle Reynolds, bofore Justice Elliott, against William Blanchard, for forolbly a ring off her finger, while she was standing in front of her residence, on Manhattan avenue corner of Green street, Greenpoint.

AN OLD D0DGB. An unknown young man called at the boarding house, No. 15 Smith street, on Saturday evening, engaged board and selected a room. He was to come book later in the evening and pay. When as left he stoto a family Bible valued at W.

ual Drunkard on the Conplaint of Hia Mother and Dies tn Bayniond street Jull.thts IWornfnir.

When arraigned before Justice Elliott the mother explained that her son had been addicted to strong drink for couple of years, although he worked daily until within the past few months, when Jhe gave himself wholly up to drink. She made an effort to get mm into the Inebriates' Homo, but as sho was unablo to pay $11 a month for his board he was refused admis sion. Sho tried in every possible way to reform him, nut to no purpose.

The unfortunate man, who sat on the prisoner's bench with hlB head between his trembling hands, paid no attention to what was going on around him. In aot his condition was so lamentable that the court officers who arrested him had to carry htm. The magls irate committed tho poor victim of alcoholism to Ray. mond street jail until this morning, to see principally in what condition he would be, and determine what was best done for him. Instead of bringing tho prisoner the driver of tho Black Maria handed the magistrate a note stating that poor GUISE BREATHED HIS LAST at an early honr thlB morning.

The magistrate was of. fected almost to tears, especially ss he eaw the anxious and weeping mothor of the dead man in court awaiting the coming of her son. After a brief consultation with tho court offlcors it was decided to tell Mrs. Guise that a mistake was made obout the day, that to morrow was tho day fixed by the court for the examination of her son. This course was deemed best to avoid a scene.

Tho poor woman heard of her son's death through the prison authorities when she reached her homo. It is said that ho was on only son and had been the main Bupport of his widowed mothor. THE BOLENDER HURDER, InqucNt into tbe Cause of tbe Death of tho How York Candy Maker The Assassin Held for the Grand Jury. The inquest in the case of the murdered candy maker, Michael Bolender, wae begun this morning by Coroner Woltman, at tha Coroner's office, Now York. Francisco Porcello, the murderer, waa presont at the inquost, cloBoly guarded by threo policemen.

His conduct was that of a chained wild animal. He glared about him at times aa If ho would gladly escape, but most of the time ho sat with his head on his breast, with an air of sullen Indifference. Tho Coroner's offico was orowded with spectators and witnesses. Biohard Fobler. of No.

25 Pine street. N. testified that lib saw Porcello on Thursday evening standing by tho door of No. 191 Fulton street; afterward he eaw Porcello advance behind Mr. Bolender with an upraised knife in his hand; there was a swift downward stroke of tho knife, and then Bolender staggered and fell to tho ground.

Edward Northing, of No. 137 Thompson Btreet, who waa a fellow workman with Bolender, and was walking with him when he was killod, described the assault. He said I saw a man jumping toward us from one of the pillars of tho elevated railroad; I wont out of his way; when I turned round again I saw him have hold of Mr. Bolender, and try to turn him around; I here recognize the prisoner as the man; I saw something In hia hand; he lifted up bis hand and struck two blows; air. uojouaor iou on tae siaewais.

BEYEBAL OTHER WITNESSES wore examined, showing beyond a doubt that Porcello was mo muruerer. Tne jury immeuiatoly gavo a verdict that Bolender had died from a blow inflicted bv the prisoner. Porcello was then asked through an interpreter, if.ho wished to say anything, and replied as follows: "Tho man I murdered was a sneak thief. Everv Italian who worked under him had to civo him half of the pay received. Because I had no money ho left me home without work.

I was the fourth man entitled to work, and because I would not give him any monoy he told the boss that I was the worst man, whllo I waa the best man who workod there. He ruined my family. I waa compelled to send my wife out to bog in tho streets and she was arreBted and committod, and is yot in prison." Coroner Woltman then committed Porcello saain to the Tomba to await tho action of the Grand Jury. QUEER RAPID TRANSIT. Bruff's Laborers Dissatisfied A Curi ous Way of ITIaking Haste.

This afternoon the two or three hundred men who laBt week wero employed by the Brooklyn Ele vated llailway Company to dig holes for their founda tions, wore waiting anxiously for their pay. In tho neighborhood of the residence of Mr. W. Fontaine Bruff President of tho road, thoy wero gathered in liitlo knots discussing their chances of compensation. There was a good deal of grumbling among tho laborers because they wore not paid on Saturday night.

Some of them ox pressed tho fear that they would not bo paid. An Eaole reporter called at Mr. Buff's house on Lexington avenue, near Broadway. A surly Individual, with a big club in his hands, guarded the entrance to the houso and in an insulting tone demanded what the reporter wanted. Upon being informed, the fellow said Mr.

Bruff was within, but ovidently remembering hi8 instructions he Bald he had gone to East New York to pay off the men employed in that neighborhood. Tho Btroets in the uptown dlstrlots, through which the road passes, ore in an Impassable condition, owing to the holes which have been dug for the road. Residents on tho line of the road are very indignant, especially as some of them believe that it will never be built. Mr. H.

B. Fry, the broker for the company, said to an Eagle reporter to day that the company had plenty of money, but they did not pay the men on Saturday because of the rain, The granite foundations, he said, were being put in as fast as possible and the road would be constructed aa soon as tha material could be obtained. No iron was expeoted rill tbe granite was down, although the iron was contracted for. He denied the assertion of ex Alderman Carman that the road was a fraud, and said that it was falso in overy particular. KNOCKDOWN ARGUMENTS.

Kraut has preferred charges against Sergeant French before the Police Commissioners. PATBOLMAK OAFFSEY COMMITS SUICIDE.

Patrolman Bartholomew Gaff ney of the Eigh teenth Precinct, New York, committed suicide this morning by shooting himself through tbe head with hia re volver. Gaffney was 58 years old, and was appointed on the police force December 1, 1862. He was a sober and faithful officer, and for years had Stuyvesant Park for his post. At one time ho was transferred from this post, but the citizens living in the vicinity appealed to the Police Board and had him replaced. His kindness to the large number of children that dally make the park their playground won him many frionds.

Oaffnoy bad beon sick Blnce July 3, and suffered severely from a pain in his right side. At times his mind wandered and he imagined that some one was following him. This morning when his wife got up she went to his room, but he was not there. She started to look for him, and found him in the front room lying on the floor in a pool of blood. Ho had gotten up in the night, gone into the room, closed tho door and shot himself in the head with a 32 calibre revolver, tearing nearly the whole upper part of the head off.

Death muBt have been instantaneous. Gaffney had been a saving man during his life and had saved considerable money. He leaves his family in very comfortable ol reruns tances. He was the owner of two or three good houses in tho Eighteenth Ward, and lived at No. 323 East Twenty fifth sheet, which he also owned.

Superintendent Walling speaks very highly of him as an officer. Coroner Flanagan has taken charge of tho ease, and will hold an Inquest in a few days.

William Speight, a young man arraigned before Justice Guck to day for knocking down Mena Falkenberg in Moore street last night, plead in excuse for the cowardly aot that he was drank at the time. He was arrested by Officer Fagan, but for whose presence Speight would undoubtedly havo been subjected to Bummary chastisement at the hands of the girl's friends.

The prisoner has been committed for a hearing on Saturday, George Feeney, who lives at No. 5 Agato street, in a fit of despondency because his wife nod left him saddled with the care of two yeung children, last night endeavored to end his life by jumping from a second story window. The attempt waa not attended with the detlred result, as, beyond a severs shock of his nervous system, due to a concussion of the spine. Feeney escaped any positive Injury. He subsequently expressed great regret for having acted so foolishly on aooount of an unworthy woman.

Regarding his wlfo he hod very Utile to say. Feeney etated that he has been married about fire years. On Wednesday hut his wife went out taking their two small children, whom she sent homo tho same evening by a messenger. As to her present whereabouta tho man said he waa ignorant. While not expressing a positive opinion, Feeney said he was led to believe that his wife had boen led into evil courses through an over indulgence in intoxicating beverages.

An Artist in Timepieces Whioh he Wonid Engage to Repair and then Would Steal and Pawn How his Career was Brought to an Untimely End Justice Semler Gives him Twelve Months in the Penitentiary. "How do yon plead to tha thrse charges preferrod against you 7" "Guilty!" The above question was put by Justleo Semler this morning to a young man arraigned bofore him on three Boparato charges of swindling.

His name was John Forster, and ho said he lived at No. 211 Hudson avenue. Ho Is about twenty two years of ago. His plans of procedure have been characterized by a good deal of shrowdness, and no less than thirty rospectable families in this city have suffered at his hands. Throe of the fomllios be had swindled made complaints against him, and no lees than flfteon witnesses wero in court to teatrfy against him, if necessary.

According to the statements made to Jndge Semler, it appears that Forster, who is a watchmaker by occupation, has been in tho habit of vialtlng families, saying that he would repair jowolry at a remarkably cheap rate. When tho proporty wai onco in his possession ho would dispose of It in a pawn Bhop. When his honesty was doubted, ho would express himsolf aa being willing to mend tho jewelry in tho basement of the houso ho visited, and, whon opportunity offered, he quietly skipped out by the back door. His experience in this direction extends back three or four years, and although never, until the present occasion, lodgsd in Jail, his Identity to tho police has not been unknown. The first person to mako complaint against him was Mrs.

Barbara Rchnelder, of No. 3 Marion street. On the afternoon of tho 3rd of May, Foster called at her house, asked if Bhe had any Jewelry that sho noodod repairing, and received a clock tn mond. This clock was of bronze, and had been In tha family for years. Forster carried in his hand a small sachol, and said that if provided with a tablo ho would oommonco operations In the basemont.

It was not long before he had the parts of tha clock out, but suddenly ho becamo disgusted with bis work, and Bald that It would be.neceasary for him to take tho Instrument home in order to do bis work thoroughly. Mrs. Schneider consented, and the clock, which was valued at $40, was never after seen by her. The Ingenious Mr. Forster had pawned it.

Mrs. Schneider waited for the return of the instrument until the 11th of this month, when she NOTIFIED THE POLICE. Alfred Polhcmus is one of the dircotors of the Independent Ice Company. He, also, was a victim to Mr. Forstor's mothod.

Polhemus resides at 614 Bergen Btreet, and on the 25th of March Forster called at his houso, and received one clock, one gold watch and one emerald breastpin, to repair. Mr. Polhemus did not doubt Forster's honesty, as his appearanco waa respectable, his knowledge of his business seemingly first class and his promises to do tho work speedily and well, being profuso. Forstor left the houso with the articles in his possession, and promptly proceeded to a plaoe where he could exchange them for a limited amount of cosh. Mr.

Polhemus waited for nearly a month for the return of his articles, and then notified tho police. The watch taken from him had been given him when a boy, by his grandfather, and aaldo from lta intrlnslo value was highly troasured. It was to a Mr. Fitzslmmons, residing on Franklin avonue, that Forster showed hia Ingenuity to the greatest oxtent, although tho former gentloman made no complaint against him. Forster called on Mr.

Fitzslmmons, and found that he had a gold chain that needed repairing. Mr. Fitzslmmons doubted Fortor'B motives, and told him that ho would have to mond the chain in the basement. This the young man consented to do, and for some tlmo Fitzslmmons watched hlm.x At lost, bow over, he was called upstairs, and Forster, taking advantage of tho opportunity, quietly slipped out by tho back door with the chain in his possession. Tobias Bachsler, who Uvea at No, 9 Marion Btreet, was the third complainant.

It was on tbe 14th of May that Forster called upon him. In a sympathetic voice ho 1b alicgod to havo compUlnod of tho harsh mannor In which the world used him, and requested work by which he could earn a loaf of bread. Ho was nos at all backward iii extolling his skill at repairing clocks, and finally Tobias gavo him work. A five dollar clock Forster was given to repair. Ho at onco repaired to the pawnshop with it.

But Forstor's career in this direction waa summarily cut short on Saturday, when he was arrested by Boundsman McCarthy, of the Second Precinct, who had been looking lor him for vory many days. A oell in the station house was Forster's domicile yesterday, and the "Black Maria" was the chariot that whirled him to Judge Scmlor's Court this morning. WHEN BROUGHT UP TO THE DESK ho was oonfrontod by many persons who bad Buffered a saddening experience at his hands. They were all only too anxious to testify againBt him, and Forster evidently eaw that, under the ciroumstancas, tho best thing he could do was to plead guilty. Judge Semler reminded him of his youth, and the bad way In which he had commonced life.

His whole future prospects were blighted, although his Honor was willing to admit that his dodges wore "smart." Boundo inan McCarthy deserved crodit for arresting Fonttor( and it was absolutely noccssary that the public should bo protected against the workings of euch people as the prisoner at the desk. Judgo Semler here asked Forster if ho hod anything to Bay, and as tho young man replied in the negative, his Honor proceeded to pass sentence. "I will sentence you to the Punltentlary for one year," said Judge Semler, four months for each offense charged against you." This settles the cose, and the necessary commitment papers were made out by the Clerk. MALICIOUS MISCHIEF. Thomas Mooney, James Devitt and Hugh Murray were arrested on Saturday night for having maliciously broken $3 worth of window glasB In Samuel Gross' tailor's store window, No.

"ill ii.ni, 8TOVK8, 10 iVlWO ft, out Km The Very Remarkable Case of the Creamers. Some Questions of Fact Balsed by tha friends of tbe Accused. Some of the friends of the Creamer family are confident that the Eaole has done a wrong in the article published yesterday, in which considerable space was glvon to the experiences of Miss Lizzie Creamer or Crealman. The case, on the admitted facts, is an extraordinary one, and has caused very much excitement among the merchants of Fulton street, who lose thou sands of dollars annually by shoplifters, have been very much exolted over the finding by one of their number. that tho daughter of a convicted shoplifter, who had herself been arrested, had been ocoupylng positions of trust in the stores of two of thorn and had been, it is al leged, caught in tbe act of stealing ber employer's proporty.

The story and tbe record of tho family to which the young woman bolongod, were told at consid erable length. The friends ol the family, however, object to some of the statements made, and the Eagle listened to the objections, promised to make further in vestigations, and if misstatements had been made, to correct them. THE FIB ST OBJECTION was to the alleged statement that the father waa doing time in Canada," Tho Eaole did not mako such a statement. What the report did say was this: Vory little is known in relation to Mrs. Creamor's husband, bat it is said that he is doing time in Canada." It is so Bald, and said by the detectives of tha Brooklyn police.

They may be mistaken. In fact, the friends of the family exhibit letters purporting to come from Creamer in which he appears to be honestly employed in Canada. The Eagle, therefore, makes haste to say Mr. Creamer is, according to the evidence, engaged tn an honorable occupation over tho border. Tho second objection is to tho effect that Lizzie Creal man or Creamer "was never complained of before." Bcourrlng to the records at Police Headquarters, It will be found that both tho young woman and her mother were arreetod on tho 19th of Fobruary for shop lifting.

Thoy were taken "dead to rights," as the police say. Their pictures woro both taken and adorned the Rogue's Gallory, the mother's being numbered 1,456, the daughter's 1,457. Ou the trial the mother took the entire blame of the admitted crime on herself and was Bontenced to the Kings County Ponitontlary. The daughter was discharged. The mother served thirty days and was then pardoned through influence workod up in her behalf by her counsel.

But' It ahould be remarked that tho friends of the family do not deny what the report etated in regard to Mrs. Creamer's career. A FUllTHEB OBJECTION was made to the (statement that tho brothor Charles M. Creamor, "waa a fugitive from Justleo." Thoex preslons perhaps was not the best that could havo beon selected, but it was substantially correct. This young man was arrested on the 1th of June of tho present year, by a aergeant of the Tenth Proclnct.

He waa found in the rear of the cigar store of Mr. John HiU, 596 Atlantic avenno, under suspicious circumstances. On being searched a quantity of cigars and tobacco was found on his person, which Mr. Hill identified. Ho was charged with burglary.

On his examination no defenses was put In and he waa held for the Grand Jury, indicted and balled In $1,900. There is a Btory connected with the procuring of tbe bail bond. Mr. Charlea M. Creamor is not wanted at present on this charge.

The oounty has socurlty for his appearance in October, when Judgo Mooro will want him. But Mr. Creamor Is wanted on another charge. Ofllcor Horke, of Justice Bloom's Court, has a warrant for the young man Issued, July 7. The charge is burglary and tho oomplalnant is the same Mr.

Hill, who avers that on the 11th day of April Creamer broke Into his Btoro. Officer Roche visited Creamor's house at four o'clock in the morning of the day succeeding the issue of this warrant. Young Creamer waa too quick for him. having left the prem ises half an hour previously. The ofllcor has boon laying" for him over Blnce, and would be glad to have some one Inform Mm where Mr.

Creamer may be found. The young gentleman may not be Btrictly speaking "a fugitive from Justice," but he ia wanted, and cannot bo found. ANOTHER OBJECTION to tae Baolk's report is embodied in tho following as sertion by tho aforesaid friends, to wit "Tho articles havo not been identified. Thero are not many of them." The officers who searched the house aver positively In their report to Captain Campbell that thoy found $800 worth of property evidently stolen. Mr.

Everath, the superintendent of Messrs. Hartung Bays that he could swear to the best of hia belief that from $150 to $200 worth of the goods found In the house had been stolen from their store. They could swear positively to tho following only, it may not be many, but it is qulto a Ust to be stolen by a young lady from her employer.

She appears ou tho police records two yoars ago as Creamer." Her motner was tnoa as Creamer." Her brother is wanted as "Creamor." The young lady's name on the cashier's list of Hartung Co. la Crealman." She was paid under that name. In trunks searched at 631 Warren street were letters addressed to her as "Lizzie Crealman." LEAVING MATTHEWS' 8TOBE. Hor friends say that she loft Matthews Co's.

store because her wages wero reduced $2 per week. Mr. Matthowe told Captain Campbell that he found ber con stantly watching the members of the firm, and suspeot lng that here was something wrong he made her situa tion unpleasant (or her and she left. OOODB PACKED AWAY. The Eagle report said that in the searched house were quantities of goods packed away, enough to stock Bmall store.

This 1b denlod by the friends of the fam ily. It was etated on the authority of the officers who made tho search, and Captain Campbell was much dis pleased that the offlcors confined themselves to the letter of tho warrant and did not make seizure of all that was reasonably suspected of being stolen. A J1I8S1.NO BOY. Yesterday, at half past ono o'clook, Francis Biloy, aged throo and a half years, left his parents' residence, No. 210 Sands street, to go and play.

He has not been heard of Bince. Hlo father, Francia H. Elley, notified the police of both oitios, and tho telegrams havo not brought any information concerning tho little fel low.

Humors of an Impending Wholesale Disoharge in the Oity Works.

Tbe Last Ycstlgo of Flahertylsm to be Wiped Ont A Large and Anxious Crowd in the Municipal BuUdingr President Massey Absent from tbe Meeting; of tbe Board Nothing bnt Boutins Business Done To day. It was given out on the "inside," which is known among the City Hall statesmen as the little cir cle of men who are instrumental in shaping political and official policy, that the Board of City Works would to day make wholesale changes among the heads of bureaus and other employes of the Department, and wipe out the last voBUgeB of Flahertylsm which remain there. Tho news spread very rapidly, and before ten o'olock the offices of the Commissioners, the approaches thereto, and the lower corridors of the Municipal Building were crowded by politicians of high and low degree, place hunters of all kinds, and others who take an interest In the business of the Board. At that hour, none of th Commissioners were present. Commissioner been there, but had gone over to Green point with Superintendent of Sewers, M.

J. Dady, to examine Borne work. Commlisloner Worth appeared about half past ton o'olook and was followed to his private offloe by a number of personal friends and bone hunters which he found filled by parties who had been awoitinghls arri val. There was EABNSST INQUIRY POB PBBBTDENT MASSEY, made by those about the department, bnt no one atjtho time seemed to know whether he would be present to day or not. A prominent politician said he understood that Mr.

Massey returned from Lake George on Saturday night, and would attend a meeting of tho Board to participate in the making of the changes which were to be mado. Another politician, equally prominent, said that Mr. Massey had not yet returned, but would be in Brooklyn to night. An employe of the Board aald that called at the President's house this money, and was informed that Mr. Massey had not returned.

As the forenoon wore on and tho President did not appear, the orowd expressed a great deal of curiosity to know why he remained away so long, es pecially in view of the information, whioh had como from good authority, to the effeot that the Board was to make removals and appointments to day. There was any amount of gossip among the throng respecting "combinations" between the Commissioners and tho parries who were to be out off. The general belief waa that Massey and Worth had entered into an agreement, or "understanding" to make the removals and appointments, leaving Hazzard out in the cold. Others had it that Massey and Hazzard wore to work together. All agreed that there muBt be a hitoh Bomewhero, or Massey would be on hand.

A party well known around tho City Hall said: I undoratond that THE PLAN WAS originally for Massey and Hazzard to go In together and give Worth the dump, but that it is just the other way now. It has looked to mo, however, as if Massey was afraid to act at onoe. You know ho wants to be reappointed President of the Board of City Works, and my opinion is he doesn't want to make any changes in the department before his name is Bent in by the Mayor, lest he offend some of the Aldermen who havo friends there, and who, he thinks, will vote for his confirmation. I think ho is making a great mistake, and I know that the failure of the Commissioners to aot has created a great deal of dissatlsfaotlon among the workers of both parties. I think nothing is to be gained by further delay.

Why don't Massey come to tha front at once and out off the men who have been opposing him and opposing the party for tho past year or so He Is in a position to do it. What inoentlve is there for men who have been true to the party to remain so when they see others kept In places who ought to have boen fired out long ago Why, there are faithful Democrats who aro walking about the Btreots ON THEIB UPPEBS to. day, without a cent in their pockets men who are just as capable, and in many instances, more capable than thoae holding places. Thoy are looking for places, and they cannot understand why the CommiBBloners do not act. Do I know when Massey will be back No.

I heard that he had returned this morning, but I hardly believe it. I think that ho would be here if he waa in town. I have been told that he will before to morrow morning, and that the long anticipated? Bweop will bo mado. i We shall see." At half past 11 o'clook the Eagle reporter caw Commissioner Worth, and asked him if thero would be a mooting of the Board to day. Mr.

Worth replied that there would, bnt that there would be nothing done, referring to removals and Several well known politicians, including were closeted with him, and tho impression among those who tarried about the office was that arrangemente were being made for work to morrow. Some or tho gossips expressed the opinion that Worth had learned of an agreement between Massey and Hazzard, and was anxious to take advantage of the President's absence to make a deal with Hazzard, bnt that the politicians present remonstrated with and dissuaded him from attempting It. The knowing ones ridiouled the idea, and said that tho three Commissioners would be on hand to morrow, when the changes would be made. A friend of Mr. Massey said that the President expeoted to bo hero today, but was unable to leave above yesterday, becauso no trains were run on Sunday.

A MEETING. The understanding being that "nothing would be done" to day most of the orowds disappeared, Among those who remained for a time wore a number of tho Aldermen, who were seeking 'employment for their "constituents" on the streot repair gangs to be appointed. Foremost in the brave band of bone hunters was "Honest" John French, and not one of them was more tenacious than he. ComrnlBsioner Hazzard apparently had difficulty in shaking him off. Shortly before 13 o'olock MosBro.

Hazzard and Worth held a meeting, the former being appointed President pro Um. A communication was read from the Chief Engineer, setting forth that the appropriation for too engine house at Smith's Pond was not sufilcient to retain the services of tho two firemen, Hugh Tyler and A. Campbell, and recommending the discharge of one of them. SIGNIFICANT. "I think we had better lay that over until to sold Mr.

Worth. "Uncle Dan Northup, the venerable secretary, who hod removed his hair in ordor to keep a cool head during the proceedings, was detected winking significantly at a friend sitting near him, as much as to say, "There, you hear that, nothing will bo done to day Commissioner Hazzard asked which was the more competent man of the two. Uncle Dan replied that be did not know, but that Campbell had been there the longest. Chief Engineer Van Buren boing sent for and questioned, said that complaints had once beon made against Campbell for importenence. Commissioner Hazzard said bo was in favor of retaining the more competent man of the two.

Tho communication was laid over. Alderman Petry appeared before tho Bpard and denied the truth of certain newspaper statements that the streets of hia ward (the Sixteenth) was in a filthy con tlon. Ho said, however, that they were badly in need of repairs. "It is not my fault," said Commissioner Hazzard, "that repair gangs have not been appointed. I won't say where the responsibility reBts." The Commissioners transacted some routine business and adjourned till to morrow at 11 A.

when tho Board will meet in Exeoutlve session, reporters only to be admitted. This certainly looks like business. MAYOB HOWELL'S CONDITION. Beports from Mayor Howoll's residence received at the Hall to day represented him as improving but still confined to bis bed. It was believed that he would be able to leave town by the end of the week for Monroe, Orango County, where ho had obtained accommodations for the Summer.

President Bay, of the Board of Aldermen, was acting as Mayor to day. FTEE DEPARTMENT MATTEBS.

JOHH S. DABBETT BDBIED TO DAY. The funeral of John 8. Barrett, the young convict who was shot down in Sing Sing prison last Friday, took place from the rooms of hie mother, on the third floor of the tenement house, No. 350 East Thirty third street, New York, shortly after two o'olook this afternoon, and was largely attended.

Delegates representing seven or eight clubs paid a tribute of respect to young man's memory by following the body to Cal vary Cemetery, where Bev. Father Joyce celebrated the usual requiem mass in the cemetery chapel.

The Broadway motors como round from Atlantic avenue into Alabama avonue, and tho enrvo bringa the track up close to the Fulton avonas track, making the steps almost meet. As the houres obHCiiro tbe point the engineer cannot nee any ono on the track. Tho woman was standing alongside the Fulton avenuo car when the dummy came around, Tha officer seeing her perilouB ponitlon ran ahead of tha dummy, caught the woman in his arms and carried her out ot the danger. A BPNATr.tr. About an hour after this, a report spread through the town that a man bad been killed on Broadway, at tho entrauce to tho Evergreens Cemetery.

Tho police investigated the rumor, and ascertained that a team ot hones while leaving the cemetery, drawing a coach containing a party that had been to a funeral, became frightened at a passing motor. Thoy ran away, overturning tho coach, severely injuring tho driver and occupants of the coach. UNKNOWN MAN KILLED. As the 9:30 train, drawn by the engine known as Kief No. ot the Manhattan Beach Railroad, was running around the curve at the junction of tho Now Lots road and Van Stnderln avenue, it struck an unknown man, instantly killing him.

Tho engtneor, acting nnder the advice of the eompany, refuses to say anything about the accident, but Alfred 8pencer, a boy residing on Orient avenuo, and William Frost, another boy roaidlng on Baltic avenue, near Orlout, say they wore standing on the New Lota road and saw tho man killed. They state that he was crosHing the road. When the train got near him a whistle wae blown.

They also cried out to him. He appeared to bo deaf, for ho did not at first seem to hoar. Jmt before ths train struck him ho saw it. He attcniptod to run, but it was too late. The engine struck him and tossed him to one side.

One of his shoos was takon oil and thrown a distance of fully forty feet. Tho engineer and conductor ware arrested.

Ha was thrown upon a bank of gravel that had boon dumped the previous day, to bo used In grading tho road, and then hia body rolled back under the engine. It passed over him, as did th. urut ir of the train. When the second oar reached him, a hook in the braka rod caught in his clothing and he wu dragged in that position two blocks.

The engineer was not aware that he struck anyone. Ofllcor Howard heard several people who wero waiting for a Broadway motor crying that a man hod boen run over. He looked under the cor and disoovered the body of a man. A knlfo was obtained and the body wss cot loose. It wss one of the moot shocking sights ever seen in the town.

Every bona in his body was crustied. His body at the waist had been twisted, so that his face and breast were where the back of hia head and back should bavs been. Along the track, from Georgia avenuo to the place whore tha trainletoppcd, was a trail of blood and fragments of flesh. He was so terribly disfigured that it was almost impossible to get a description of him. He was apparently a Gorman, about 33 years of age.

Refugees from Memphis Found Here YesterdayWhat the Board of Health Is Doing1 and What tbe Police Duties In the Hatter Are Other Deaths at Quar antine. Yesterday morning a general order was issued by Superintendent Campbell to all the police captains.

'When they assembled at Police Headquarters with the returns they were instructed to do all they could toward finding ont if any people arrived In their various preolncts from Memphis or any portion of tho infected district. The instructions were that if any such persons were found in tho city that their names and residences should be at once reported to the Board of Health. The Sanitary Superintendent, Dr. J. Raymond, boa full charge of the matter as far as this city is concerned.

He does what he thinks la requisite in the promises, and controls the movements of the in pectors and police who are engaged specially upon this work. This morning he statod that no new cases had turned up since yesterday af tornoon, when Captain Edward Rellly, of tho Eleventh Precinct, was informed by one of his pBtrolmen that a number of persons were living at 108 Huntington street who had oome from Memphis within the past lour days, uaptoin Keiny in vestigated the case and found that the persons in question were Mrs. Susan McCarthy and John Roper, a married man, who had his four children, Annie, John, James and Bernard Roper, and hia nephew, James Eopor. Thoy wore all REFUGEES PBOM MEMPHIS, thelaBtone to arrive being the nophew. The facts were at once sent to Dr.

Raymond, who made an investigation of the case himself. He found that the people In question had left tho infected olty for their own safety, but hod not showed any symptoms of the disease. Thoy are all apparently in excellent health, and the Sanitary Superintendent is satisfied that no outbreak of the dlsoaso is' to bo foared from that quarter. Mr. Roper expressed his readiness to accede to any proposition made to him in the interests of health, and followed the direotlons of tho 8anltary Superintendent in regard to fumigating the houBO and his olothing.

Officer Fltzpatrick was sent there to asaist him in this respect. All the rooms, and every bit of clothing was subjectod to a thorough disinfecting process, bosido being hung over the fumes of burning sulphur, one of the best known means of killing this particular contagion. Lator yoBtorday Dr. Raymond was Informed that a young man named Lawrence Cunningham had arrived here from Memphis. SanitaryTnspeotor Griffiths was dispatched at onco to No.

281 Atlantio avenue, where Cunningham was staying with his mother. He had come from a placo called Roaolino, which is about thirty mllOB south of Memphis, but did not leave there specially on account of the prevalence of the fever. Dr. Griffiths examined his physical condition, and pronouncod him free from any symptoms of the fever. His clothing was subjected to a thorough disinfecting procoss, and ho will be visited daily for somo time by the physloianB attached to the Hearth Department.

This Bystom of dally visiting will bo proceeded with in all the othor cases. The boy Gabay, who waa visited on Friday last at No. 5 Woodhull Btreet, has been called upon by Dr. McCorklo since, but as in tho other cases there is no fear. THE PBEOAUTIONS TAKEN by Dr.

Raymond are as complete as that official can make them, and if his instructions to the officers of tho Health Department, and hlB requests to the Police Department aro properly carried out, Brooklyn will, at least, have the satisfaction of boing thoroughly on its guard against the surreptitious introduction of tho disease in her oity. Tho police officers have been instructed to make diligent inquiries upon thoir rospee tlve posts as to any new arrival, and to find out in an Inoffensive manner whether such pcrsonB havo left any port of tho affeoted district. Thus the six oases yeator day were discovered, and while there was not the slightest indication In any one of them, of the presence of tho contagion, yot tho policy of disinfection, fumigation, and a careful observance by the physicians of the people themselves for some days, i a wise ono, and will be appreciated in a propor eplrit by all who are careful concerning thoir own wolfaro. Officers Brophy, Mc Mahon and Powers, of the Sanitary Squad, have beon specially detailed to patrol tho water front, which has boen divided into three seotionB, each officer having charge of one. They visit overy new vessel whioh arrives, and at onco proceed to find out whether Bhe has a satisfactory quarantine pass, if Bhe has a permit to unload and whether there are any cases of sickness on board.

If their investigations aro not satisfactory all work on tho vessel is stopped, and all bands quarantined on board until the Sanitary Superintendent has been notified and has made a full investigation of the matter. There is another point about the precautions to be taken whioh is not to bo lost sight off. SOMETHING OF INTEREST TO HOTBIi AND HOARDING HOUSE KEEPEfiB. "It is not generally known," said Dr. Raymond that the proprietors of all hotels and boarding houses, principals of schools and private institutions are necessitated to make a report to us of all cases of contagious diseases whioh may ocour among their guests or people In thoir charge.

For their special information at this time, it would be well to call their attention to this fact." Tho following Bectione of the Sanitary Code are those which refer to this point Section 125. That evory keeper of any boarding house or lodging house, and every inn keeper and hotel keeper, shall, within twenty four hours, report in writ iug to the Banitary bureau the Bamo particulars in the last Bection required of any physician concerning any person boing at any of tho aforesaid houses and hotels, and attacked with any contagious disease. Sec, 125. That tho commissioners, managers, principals, or othor proper head officer of each and overy public or private institution in said oity shall twice in each week report in writing (or cause such report by some propor and competent porson to be made twice In each week) to the sanitary bureau, and state therein the name, if known, and condition and disease of any and every person being thereat, and Biok of contagious disease. See.

127. That the master, chief officer and oonBlgnee, or ono of them, of every vessel, not being In quarantine, or within quarantine limits, but being within one fourth of a milo of any dock, wharf, pier or building, of said oity, shall daily report to the sanitary bureau, or cauBe to be reported, in writing, the particulars, and shall therein elate tho name, disease and condition of any person being in or on such vessel, and Bick of any contagious disease. Sec. 128. That it shall be the duty of every person knowing of any individual in said city sick of any contagious disease (where such person shall have reason to regard such individual as neglected or not properly cared for, and to avoid giving said dlBoaso to others), and too duty of every physician hearing of any BUch sick person, who he shall have reason to think requires the attention of this Board, to at oenco report the facta to the Banltary bureau, in regard to the disease, condition and dwelling place or position of such sick person.

Sec. 129. That the keepers, lessees, tenants and owners of every boarding house and lodging house shall, within six hours after the fact shall oome to Mb or her or their knowledge, notify the sanitary bureau, In writing, of the fact of any seafaring man or person, lately from any vessel, being takon Bick at such house, and Bhall in such notice state where such sick person may be found, and from what vessel, and when he came; to tho best of the knowledge of the porson or persons giving eucb notice, NOT ALABMED. Tho reporter asked Dr. Raymond if he had any caus to be alarmed of the fever being carried here and breaking out to any extent.

"No, sir," he replied, "I have not. I don't think that euch a thing is possible under the circumstances. Of course peoplo may come here with germa of tho disease in thoir Bystom, but before such a case would havo time to develop itself, wo would have the patient at Quarantine, and by Immediate fumigation and disinfection prevent the spreading of tho contagion." The Board of City Works Is alao asslBtlng the Health Department to improve the sanitary condition of tho city as far as cleaning the streets are concerned. All the Btreots which lie noar the rlvor front, and ore located in the more populous districts of the olty will be cleaned thorough every day from to day out, by an extra gang of men employed for this special purpose. Columbia and Furman streets, tho lower portion of State and Joralemon and Bevoral streets at Bed Hook were oleaned this morning.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eaglt I beg leave to correct a misstatement in your Saturday's edition, stating that house Ho. 5 Wood hull street is in a filthy condition. I would say In correcting the same, that the said house is not in the condition as has been reported, and I cordially invite tbe Health Commissioners to examine my premises, comprising Nos.

fi, 7 and 9 Woodhull street. yours, Mbs, B. Gadaj. John P. Mills keeps a restaurant at 136 Columbia street, and James Griffin, of 161 Columbia street, went in there last night, and Mills struck: him over the head with a choir during a alight quarrel thoy had.

Griffin received a slight wound. the latter, with his freo hand, grasped tho young man's throat. Together the two sank below tho surface, each strug gling desperately, and it appeared probable that both would perish in oonsequenco. Hall had by that time stripped and gone out to the assistance of his friend. He oaught Connors by Mb finger ends, and by a strenu ous effort separated tho men.

Hall then held up the drowning man until Conners had sufficiently recovered his breath; then both got firm hold of him and swam to a canal boat moored at the dock, and with additional assistance hauled him on deck. Oonners, who has saved twelve lives during the paBt five years, Btatos that it was tho most desperate struggle in the water that he ever had, and both must hovo perished had it not been for the timely aid rendered by Hall. BAD BLOOD. Shooting and Stabbing Affrays on the Island. Blot at College Point The Victim of the Knife Still Alive but Sure to Die.

On Saturday night, at Flushing, James Grady and William Stanton had a row in Hogan's Baloon, and Grady Btabbed Stanton twice with his pocket knife. The wounds were but slight. Stanton's friends camo upon Grady later in the night and gave him a ter rible beating. He will be confined to his houso for several days. At St.

Eonan's Well, in Flushing, yesterday, two Newtown boys quarelled, and one of them drew a pistol and discharged two shots at his opponent, but fortunately neither took effect. A RIOT AT COLLEGE There was a bloody riot at College Point, which came within an inoh of boing a murder. The Willott Club, named after the street in New York in which tho members live, wont to Froygang's Park, which the President ol the club, named Snyder, had engaged a month ahead for $40. The party numbered 700 or 800 and wore towed to tho park by tho tug Wlnslow. Liquors and lager beer were eold on board tho barge and at the park, and intoxicated men and women were numerous at about three o'olock, when the riot occurod.

The park is very large and hundreds of people were there besido the oxourslonists, who danced to the music of the band which had beon engaged to play for tho exenrsionlsts exoluBlvely, and this created a good deal of feeling, but was not altogether the trouble which led to the riot. Trouble being apprehended, all the constables and deputy sheriffs in tho village were Bummoned to the park. Somo of the young men with the club attempted to steal a keg of beer bolonclng to Freygang and being detected an'attempt was made to arrest them and the fight followed. The sheriffs contend that the fight waB flrBt occasioned by a dispute over tho muslo, and that during its continuance the attempt was made to steal the lager. When the sheriffs attempted arrest the thieves they wore resisted by members of the association, and when tho sheriffs drew thoir clubs the men hurled Btonea and brioks from a wall at them.

Several pistol ehots were fired, but the shoriffs deny that either shot was fired by them. The man who did all tho firing was a very fat follow, known as "Fatty Groot," who 1b the koopor of a public swimming bath in Now York, at the foot of Govorneur Btreet. Deputy Sheriff Carll was shot in the arm and disabled. A man named Frank Hahn, whose father keeps a shoe store in Rivington street, was Bhot in tho wriBt. Tho only person who was badly hurt was Androw W.

Doistil, of 713 East Sixth street, New York. He was shot in the breaBt, near the ehouldor. He led tho attack on tho sheriffs and was pretty well under the influence of liquor. Dismay seized the excursionists, and they hurried from tho park to the bargo. DeiBtil was left lying oh the grass, and the story went around the boat that he was dead and found its way into the New York papers this morning.

An Eagle reporter, who went to College Point this morning, found Deistll alive and as comfortable as could be oxpoctod. Dr. Hunt, who extracted the bullet, said thoro was no danger of death resulting. made an ante mortem statement to Coroner Burno, but could not teU who shot him. Acting upon tho ctatemont of the sheriffs, that "Fatty Groot" was the only porson who did.any shooting, the Coroner issued a warrant for his arrost and Bout Constable Smldt to New York aftor him.

Tho result of this riot will be the closing of all the parks and saloons in the place on ovory Sabbath hereafter by the Law and Order Association. Dlstel Still Alive. Flushing, N. July 28. Andrew Distel, who was Bhot through tho right lung, at College Point yesterday, is still alive, but the wound must prove fatal In a few days at moBt.

DostU's etatement this morning implicates William Grote, Keeper of the Bath at the foot of Gouverneur street, and a warrant has beon issuod for his arre3t. Grote came with tho club but was not a member. He woro a Deputy Sheriff's badgo. Grote is said to be tho man who fire Bix phots. Tho local officers used clubs alone and fired no shots.

Five New York youths named Edward Fox, James Pursell, James Callahan, John Mulligan and Thomas Bunn started for Eockaway early yesterday morning and had a jolly time. They came home on the last train which reached BuBhwick last night well loaded with beer and invigorated by the sea breozes as the sequel shows. After drinking moro beer in "Dutch town" until thoir money gave out they concluded to go home. A proposition to raise a row generally in the "one horse town," sb they termed that section of city, met with a hearty and unanimous response.

In thoir tramp down Grand street to tho forry they upset aBhbarrelo, boxes, sidewalk stands and everything that came in their way. By way of variety they jumped on farmers' wagonB and annoyod tho owners and also wheeled empty wagons into the middle of the Btreet. When they reached Sixth street they UP BET A 8HOW CJA8E in front of a photograph gallery. Tho noise of the broken glass attracted the attention of two policemen who weio noar by. The officers took tho five youths named into custody and locked them up for the remainder of tho night.

They looked neat and prim in Justice Elliott's Court this morning. They had no excuse to offer for their bad conduct and were fined five dollars oaoh with the alternative of spending the same number of days In Jail. Ab none oi thoir friends called up to 11 o'clock to pay their fine it looked as if they will spend to day at least at Sheriff Riley's hotel on Raymond Btreet. SEARCHING FOR BANK ROBBERS. A Burglar Alarm on the Himhwick Savings Bank Let Loose for Three Hours.

There were lively times in Grand street, near Loonard, about 3 o'cldck this morning, tho entire neighborhood having been arouBed by tho steady ringing of a gong attaohed to a burglar alarm in the BuBh wick Saving Bank, at No. ICC Grand Btreet. The few pedestrians on the street at that unseasonable hour and a police officer who hurried to spot, wore at first non plUBBed. Detective Ennls, who livos near at hand, without waiting to dress himself, appeared first upon the scene, armed with a revolver. He waB oertainly in excellent running trim and only too anxious to eee and go for a fleeing burglar.

About that time Engineer J. W. Smith passed In returning from a fire alarm. They two made a hasty examination of tho doors and windows of the bank, front and rear, without finding any. thing amiss.

Still tho gong kept up lta ceaselOBa noise. Officers on poet having arrived a second examination of the premises was made, this time inoludlug the cellar, but with the eame result. Tho safe inside was plainly visiblo and appeared to have remained untouched, yet a suspicion lurked in the minds of the offlcors that somebody was concealed in the bank. They reasoned that the premises must necessarily have been entered, else the burglar alarm could not haro been set in motion, A third search of the promises was then mado with the same result as before. Two officers remained to watch tho bank until Cashier Jenkins could be summond to afford an entrance Into the bank.

Everything was found intact, the same as at the close of business on Saturday, The probable explanation is that a marauding rat in eome manner Interfered with one of the connecting wires ol the alarm. That gong kept up its noisy ringing for a period of three hours, much to tho disgust of near residents who could not gat asleep because of Its clatter.
