DISSECTION. MORE HONEY, THCBSDAT EVENING, JULY 81, 1879. Tbe Besldents of New Utrecht Over the Vae ot Third Avenuo br the Brooklyn City Unllroad. An indignation meeting was held at the school house in Bay Bidge, last evening, by a largo number of tha farmers and property holders of the plaoe, for the purpose of expressing their feeling against the Highway Commissioners for having allowed tho Brooklyn City Baiiroad to tear up Third avenuo, to put down tracks for steam motors. Third arenno was tho road tbe farmers used to go to market The only other available outlet la Fourth avonue.

This road is so rough that it is almost impossible for horsee to draw loaded wagona over It. This being the middle of the marketing season, makes it considerably harder for tbo farmers. Tho meeting In vory strong terms berated tho Highway Commissioners for having allowed this Invasion of their rights, and a committeo waa appointed to call upon the officials of tho railroad company to ace what method could be adopted that wonld make Third avonue smooth enough for wagons to be drawn over it again.

The Proposals for Furnishing the County with Supplies, Who the Successful Bidders are for the Principal Articles How the Prices to bo Paid Compare with Those of Last Year An Agrffrejrate Saving of About Twenty Thousand Dollars. A continuous session of nine hours enabled the Supplies Committee of the Board of Supervisors to get through tho work of opening tho bidB for county supplloa yesterday. The committee were called to order about 10 o'clock, had lunch furniabed them in tbe chamber three or four hours lator, and rcfraiued from taking a recess until overy bid was opened. The manifest fairness of thoir course satisfied every bidder, and rondorod simply an impossibility any manipulation of tbo proposals. As stated in these columns yesterday, the bids were eighty one in number.

They were read off by Supervisor Egolf, rooordod by the clork, Jamos L. Connolly, and tho checks and money accompanying them woro handed over to the custody of Supervisor Nathan. Very early In the day It becamo apparent that the figures this year, aa a whole, wore very materially below those of last year, and that THE SAYING TO THE COUNTY would bo considerable. For instance, tho difforenco between this and last year's bids for coal is large enough to result in a four thousand dollar docrease of expenditures in thlB direction. About 1,000 will be saved on beef almost as largo a sum on sugar, $1,500 on tea, $500 on codfish, $100.50 on condensed milk.

$700 on ice, $1,600 on potatoes, $500 on butcr and proportionately large amounts on other articles. It is OBtimatod that taking into consideration tho difference in the bidders' figures and the fact that the quantities called for this year aro not so largo as those of a year ago, the ooat of furnishing the buildings with supplloa will, during tho coming year, bo reduced by $20,000.

O'Hara, whose will was published yesterday, is estimated at about tfjO.OOO las contestants are the unmarried daueh terg of two of Mrs. O'Hara'B deceased sona Tho father of one of them, Mary O. O'Hara, received about $40,000 under hla father's will, and Mary C. was his sole deviBee. The father of the other contestant received only an annuity out of his father's estate, a dim cutty having arisen as to the construction of the will.

A sister, howover, died under ago, and his daughter re ceived tue share which would have fallen to her father if he had not died. This was about $15,000 or $20,000. She invested it unfortunately, and is belloved to have lost tha most of it. Mre. O'Hara was never reticent as to what she was going to do with hor proporty.

Hor object was to do as much good aa possible to the poor. For fifteen years her Intention remained unohaugod, namely, to dispose of tho great bulk of her estate In charity. Judge McOue knew Mrs. O'Hara for yoars, and waa her adviser IB years ago. After he went on tho bench ho oeaaed to act aa her attorney, but latterly ahe advised with him as to the disposition of her proporty.

and ho invested for her, Tho will was drawn by Mr. E. M. Cnllen from old wills, and from Mrs. O'Hsra's personal instructions.

Judge McCue waa not present whon tho will was drawn or whon tho instructions wero given. flu exeoutors, tho Bev. Father Maguiro, Dr. Dudley and Judge McCue understand perfectly what Mrs. O'Hara desired to have done with the property intrusted It is to.be given in oharity, in a way generally Indicated by her, but sho allowed the oxecu tors to use their own judgment as to details, trusting impiloitly to their honor and judgmout to do what was right.

Dr. Dudley was her medical advisor for years, and is a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church. When Mrs. O'Hara was over 70 yoars old, ehe resolved to see Borne, and visited it during the Ecumenical Council. She was Introduced to the Pope and eaw all that was to be seen In the Eternal City.

Judge McCue Bpoaking to a reporter about the will, In answer to the question whether it was not strange that so little had been left to tho grandchildren, Bald There are cirourastancea back of all that not known to the public. By the husband's will these crirls ware equally provided for, and one lost her property, while the other still has hers. Mrs. O'Hara had left equal legacies to them now. It iB not true that one of them took care of hor grandmother for many ruontlui.

Mrs. O'Hara lived in the house where she and ber husband had lived, and preferred to be alone, keeping hor own servants and living in a quiot way. One of'ber granddaughters was with hor during the last few weeks of her sickness, but the arrangement was quite as much in the girl's interest as in that of lira. O'Hara. "This will was mado three years and a half ago, when Mrs.

O'Hara waa in full possession of her faculties, although latterly ehe failed somowhat. Ab to the way hor estate is left, the property put into her oxeetors' hands is to bo used for charitable puruoees kindred to thoBe to which she loft legacies. She left tho property in this way to avoid the dlflculties of appropriating specifio sums to partloular things. Hor wishes ware fully explained to her oxocutors, who, naturally enough, woro her splrrltual, medical and legal advisors. Not ono dollar of tho estate goes to them personally, but all is to bo devoted to charitable purposes." not Mrs.

O'Hara devoted to her Churoh 1" was tho next question. Judge MeCue said "Sho was but not in any bigot ed way. This is shown by her selecting Dr. Dudley, a Protestant Episcopalian, as ono of her exoutorB and also, by her legaoy of $5,000 to the Long Island College Hospital, an Institution not even nominally Catholic. I eee no grounds for contesting the will, and I do not think it will be broken.

It is witnessed by some of tbe most responsible persons in tho city Charloa Lowery, a woll known lawyer, Judcro Moore, Edtcar M. Cullen and Judah B. Voorhees. I repeat, she was just as competent to maKo a will aa you are. no naa a very clear bead for business, and understood what sho wanted." Referring to the money bequeathed to the executors, Mr.

Hooker, of counsel for tho oontestanta, said There is the will, and to that we must stick. If. how eder, it ehould by any possibility appear that Mrs. O'Hara did give verbal instructions to her oxootors as to the manner of disposing of the residue or her nrOD erty, aud it should come out that It was to be devoted to cnarltaDle purposes, wo Bnoulu tako advantage of that provision of the Rovised Statutes, whioh says that no person having a nusband, parent or child shall give or bequeath for any charitable purpose a greator amount than one half of the estate, to the exclusion of the lust heirs." OENEBAIi SIOEXES. General Sickles, in talking of this case, said that he took a deep interest In it, and added that Miss O'Hara was the steu daughter of an old offi cer under him during tho war, Colonel Farnham, who did gallant and good Bervice, and was shot through both legs at Spotsylvania.

His step daughter was very fond of hira, and for sometime after her mother's death Bhe continued to live with Colonel Farnham. When sho was about fourteen years of age, however, she was sent to live with nor grandmothor. The new home," continued General Sickles, "was a dismal one for a young lady tho grandmother waajold and feeblo, and a recluse, surrounded only by her religious rollcs and religious advisors, the latter of whom objected to the child's residence with her grandmother. As she grew older. Miss O'Hara found the place duller than ever and made Ions' viBlts to other relatives.

A few years ago it began to be apprehended by Miss O'Hara's friends that the grandmother would be influenced to give ner iorrane to cnantaoie institution!) and churches, to the neglect of her natural I'eira. the two granddaughters, one of whom had a fortune in hor own right; and in behalf of tue poor one, Mary Augusta, I went to see airs, unara, ana endeavored to show her how unwise It would be to do so. Mrs. O'Hara spoke in the most affectionate way of her niece, showing conclusively that there waa no feeling whloh woum ieaa ner to neglect nor Kin, out sne tola me tnat both the girls wero amply provided for, and I could and convince hor to the contrary. also spoke to a prominent priest of this city on the subject, and expressed the hope that no influence of Mrs.

O'Hara's tuai aomsjrs would oa used to benefit the church charities aj the SiBe'riSo Cf the heirs. The priest answered that the churoh certainly did not en courage such action, and that while they were glad to nrae rich lavmen to crive llbnrallv of their means Hinv did not wish it done to the detrimout of blood relatives." The proponents stated in court to day that they had verbal Instructions as to the disposition of the large residuary estate." "That" said the General, "is ono way of avoldino tho statute which prohibits the KlvlnE of a too crest nro portion of an estate to charity objects to tha neglect of blood relatives." Other points of minor importance were touched urion. General Sickles will be one of the most important witnesses for the contestants and his as well as other evidence, it is claimed, will disclose a strange case of undue influence used upon an old woman of a mind naturally strong and always superstitious. The executors Bcout as preposterous the notion that tho old lady was unduly influenced. Bov.

A Weiss necr Factory and Stables De stroyed Tills morning Four Horses Burned Narrow Escapes of Xliree Workmen. The large, barn like frame structure in Fif ty first street, near Third avenue, whioh served the triple purpose of a weiss beer brewery, stable and sleeping place for tho workmen, was destroyed by fire this morning, producing a brilliant conflagration in that part of the city and removing an old landmark. The building waa owned by Mr.

E. Hunt, of 101 Bemsen street, and was rented by Albert Soldier, who used it for the manufacturing of weiss beer. One end of it served aa a stable, in which four horses were constantly kept, and since the commencement of the Summer John Gar rity, Philip Buscbmann and Jacob Chrlstman, three of the employes, have slept in the loft. At about 1 o'clock this morning Ohristman suddenly awoke, and to his horror found that the loft was filled with smoke and that the body of tho building underneath was one maas flame. He jumped out of bed and alarmed his companions.

Thero waa not a moment to be lost, for retreat by means of the ladder had been already cut off. The three men, without waiting to secure an article of clothing, jumped from the windows to the ground, a distance of some fifteen feet, and all escaped without any injury. Had they lingered two minutes longer they must have perished, as the pitch roof fell in almost Immediately afterward. Of the four horses whioh were Imprisoned it waa found impossible to release mora than one, and he was so badly burned that he had to be killed an hour or so afterward. The other three were BURNED TO A CRISP.

Engine Company No. 1 reached the soene of the conflagration In good time, but the building and its contents were totally destroyed. Fortunately, the burning building was Isolated, and tho, sparks, which fell thickly around, did no damage. Acting Captain Barr, the Eighth sub Precinct, and bis reserves were promptly on the spot, but there waa nothing for them do but watch the brilliant blaze which, Illuminated Sohuetaen Park and the adjoining neighborhood, and which, owing to the elevated ground, waa visible for miles. The workmen, who fled ont of the burning building in almoBt a nude Btate and who lost every article of clothing, wero kindly cared for by Philip Kooh, proprietor of the Schuetzen Park.

The loaaeaareas follows: E. Hunt, on building, $500; insured; Albert Soldier, horses and Btock, insured for $2,000 in the Hanover and London Insurance Companies. The loss on olothlng was $100, distributed equally between the three workmen. The origin of tho fire la enveloped In considerable mystery. When the men retired to rest there waa not spark of fire on the premises, or anything of an Inflammable material.

There 18 a strong suspicion that it may nave been the work of some tramp, and Firo Marshal Thorn la engaged In making a cjareful investigation, UPTOWN BAFID TBA581T.

The ninth annual picnio and barbecno of United Light Butcher Guard of Brooklyn will be at Koch's Schaetzen Park, Third avenue and fiftieth street, next Monday, he E.

of 12 a H. bis a of ho The 2b men no tho aa To and The man Who was Hilled on the At lantlo Avenue Steam Boad Tha unknown man who was killed by tho motor AtlBnHo, whloh waa drawing a rapid transit train through East New York, on Sunday evening last, waa yesterday identified by Mr. Williamson Bapelye, one of New Lota' wealthiest fanners. Mr. Bapelye naa nuesoa one of his farm hands slnoe Sunday last.

His attention was called to the description of the man who was killed on Atlantio avenue, whloh was publisnea in ine ixaus. He thought ha recognized In the description his missing workman. Yesterday he called at the police station, and Captain Early ahowod him tho artiolea that tho dead man had In hlB pockets, and this made the laennncanon more complete. Mr. Ranelve did not know the man's name.

He advised tho Cantaln to take the artiolea to his foreman. and see if he recognized them. Captain Early did so, exhibiting them to the foreman without tolling him his objeot. He asked him tr ne naa ever Been mom Deiore. The foreman immediately answered that they belonged to one of the farm hands, whose name waa Joseph EuBhichka, who had been missing since Sunday.

From information derived from different workmen on the farm, It seems that Bushichka was A BOHEMIAN who had been in this country three years, and during that time had worked on Mr. Bapelyo's farm. He was one of tho best ploughmen on the place. His )only falling was his love of whisky. He has no relatives In this country, but has a father and stepmother In bis native place.

On. Sunday last he witnessed the death of Wli liam Daggett, who was killed by one of the Manhattan Beach Railroad locomotives. This seemed to upset his nerves, and he drank considerable liquor. In the even lug he started for East New York. The lane leading from the farm oonneots with Georgia avenue, and It was down this lane he went.

It is probable that when he crossed Georgia and Atlantio avenues he was rather stupid from the liquor he drank. There being no gates and no flagman at the place, and there being a half dozon tracks, it is probable he became confused when he eaw tho approaching train, and was struck before he could get out of the way. Tha remains have been In terred in Potter's Field. VILLAINY. A Little irl Enticed trom Tfexe York, Plied with Liquor and Brutally As saultedTwo of the Assailants Ar rested.

Nora Wagner, whose parents reside at No. 609 Twenty nlntfc street, New York, waa last night the victim of a most brutal and inhuman outrage at the hands of Charles Lowell, agod fifty two years, who lives at the corner of Hamilton avenue and Yan Brunt street. At about nine o'clock last night loud soreams were heard Issuing from the latter place, and the neighbors, who became alarmed, ran to the Yan Brunt street Sta tion House, two blocks distant, and notified Captain Beilly, who sent Doteotive Daly and Officer Bredor to make an investigation. The officers had to force an entrance to tho premises, and In a back room on tha second floor found Lowell, the little girl, Nora Wagner and a woman named Hannah Hultz. The little girl was fearfully excited, and rushed to the officers, begging them to protect her.

All the parties wore taken to the station house, where the little girl told her story. She said that a woman, who waa a friend of Lowell's, had Induced hor to come from New York and accom pany her to Hamilton avenue, where she was forced to drink whisky until she became almost unconscious. Lowell then took her in his arms and attempted to assault her, and when ehe reslBtea the woman Hultz struoh hor and held her down. She soreamed, when the woman put her hand over her mouth to sUflo her ories. Tho police soon afterwards oame In and rescued her.

Lowell an the woman Hultz were locked up, and the girl was held as a witness. The prisoners wero be fore Justice Ferry this morning, and committed for trial, the girl being detained as a witness. Justioe Ferry is determined to make, a careful Investigation of the case, and administer the most severe punishment poesible on all tho parties implicated in the outrage. THE ONE THAT IS LEFT. A motion to Reduce the Bail of John Wilbur, Alias Yost, of the Patcuen Avenue Gang.

This morning, Counselor James W. Bidg way made a motion in the Court of Sessions, before Judge Henry A. Moore and Associate Justices yvickham and Spencer, to reduoo tho bail of John Wilbur, alias Yost, one of the Patchen avenuo gang of burglars. He was one of tho quartet of which "Shang" Draper, Porter and Irvine are members. "Shang" Draper was taken to MaseaohUBetts on a requisition to etand trial upon a oharge of being oonoerned in the Northhampton Bank robbery.

Fortor and Irvine escaped, and Wilbur is the only one of the gang now in tho hands of the Kings County authorities. It was ho who was captured on tho Btreet on tho morning the house waB raided and was tho only one of the four who waB unknown to the pollco. There was a good deal of speculation concerning bis identity. Ho refused to give his name and pedigree, and for a long time it was not known who he was. He was tried upon the charge of being concerned in the burglary upon the store of Ibert in Graham avenue, and the jury failed to agree.

About $200 in Bilver and a counterfeit $50 were found upon him when he was arrested, but the money could not be positively identified as having belonged to the Iberts. During tho trial It transpired that Wilbur had been a canal boatman, but as to his previous history beyond that fact very little could be found out. He was unknown to the police of both oities. From the fact that a $50 counterfeit bill was found In hia possession, it waa thougnt that he might be engaged In "shoving the queer," and one of the detectives thought he recognized him bb a man who had "done timo" in Pennsylvania for that oflenco. It appoared also that his real name was Yost.

He claimed in his defense that ho had no knowledge of or connection with the Patchen avenuo gang, and that he was in the neighborhood where he was arrestod upon his own private business, which was In relation to the purchase of a canal boat. But whether he waa "Btralghf'or "crooked," as they say in police parlance, he suooeeded in concealing his identity very skillfully. Mr. Bidgway argued that the man had now been In jail over a year, aud had been once tried without result, and that the bail, formerly fixod at $6,000, should be reduced. District Attorney Catlin opposed the motion, and argued that the amount was not too large for tho offence changed.

Judge Moore said he would consider the matter and give his decision to morrow. FIRE IN A FUR FACTORY. Collision Between Two Hose Tenders and. Both of Them Overturned. At twenty ruinates after six o'olook this morning aff alarm tor fire at station 38 was occasioned by the discovery of smoke issuing from tho windows of fur dressing factory in the rear of No.

202 Boerum street, Alfred Eotzlen, the proprietor, had not then opened the premises nor had any of his workmen put in an appearance. How tho fire originated is matter for conjecture, and may have been due to one of several causes. The firemen arrived promptly and soon had the fire under oontrol. On the stock tho estimated Iobs $500, while the building, which le a two story frame structure, was damaged to the extent of ISO only. loss is more than covered by a policy in the Humboldt Insurance Company.

THE COLLISION. On the way to the, fire the tenders of Engines 13 and unavoidably collided at the corner of Graham areuue aud Meserole street. That of No. 13 waa being driven alang Graham avenue, and No. 16 np Meserole street.

It was impossible for the driver of either to see the other until they were close upon one another. As the driver No. 13 attempted to make a ehortturn from the street car track, the tender wheels slid on the rail and the two vehicles came together with a crash. Both were overturned, throwing off the five or six men riding on each teudor, with a violent jerk. For that emergency every man appeared to be prepared, which acoounts for tho fact that but one of number sustained the slightest injury.

He escaped with a bruise on the leg, which will not interfere with his duties. Foremen Eleglor and Baldwin, the officers commanding the companieB, agree in stating that tho accident could not well have been foreseen or provided against. A BEE IS HIS BOXKET.

The Story of tho Mortgage on the Furni' ture of the Church Miss (Hirer Mistak en in Some of the Details of her Rela tion, but the Account in the Main Cor rect An Inklingr as to the Keal Source of Trouble Miss Oliver Wants to Run the Church as a Private Corporation. No Explanation as to tho Summary Manner in Which the Church was Denuded of its Furniture. BnooELra, July 30, 1879. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Having carefully read the article entitled "Skinned," which appeared in this evening's Eagle, I notice so many errors that I doom it but simple justice to tho Mothodlst Episcopal denomination in gonoral, and tho Wesley Methodist Episcopal Society, in particu lar, to submit tho other side of the question, fooling confident that tho public can be depended upon to judge tho case upon its merits. It is not a pleasant task for a man to appear in public controversy with a lady and my task is all the more unpleasant from the fact that my relations with Miss Oliver have always been of the most cordial and friendly character and still remain so, Nothing but a sense of duty and right would tempt mo to array myself against hor.

Tho people of tho Wesley Churoh havo struggled hard for years thoy have given money to tho fullest limit of their means thoy have labored unoeasiugly, and un murmuringly, hoping almost against hope, that their labors would result successfully, and their church be saved. None who were present at tho services on the last day of Mr. Stansbury's ministry, whon a japccial farewell prayer mooting was hold, can over forgot it, or say that tho Wesley people did not love their ohurch homo. AN AFFECTING OCCASION. Strong men knelt aud prayed with tears streaming down their cheeks, that it might be God's will to spare them their church.

Women joined with voices broken with sobs in imploring divine aid, while the whole con gregation wcro in tears. But God willed that it should not be. The day of ealo came and the church was sold to Miss Oliver. At her first appearance among the people sho was most cordially received, aud bo well pleased were tho majority of the members present that they unhesitat ingly pledged themselves to co oporate with her. Shortly alter this, a meeting was called for the purpose of reorganizing the ohurch, at which a largo number of those prcaont expressed their views, and, with one or two exceptions all seemed to work harmoniously.

It waa at this mooting that the church waa etylcd Tho Willoughby avenue Methodist Churoh. Pending the election of a regular board of truatees and Btewards, committee of seven was chosen to act ad interim as a Joint board and general advisory committeo, it boing understood that thoy represented the society and that their views would be carried out accordingly. At one of the meetings of this committeo THE FCBNITUBE QUESTION came up for discussion. There were present at this meeting all the members of the oommittee, Mr. Nos trand, Mr.

Wilson, Miss Oliver and Mr. Edward Jones, who is understood to bo Miss Oliver's chief financial supporter and counselor. Mr. Nostrand presented a list of all the articles covered by 'his mortgage with a value opposite each item as appraised by several disin terested partios who saw the property and examined it. Tho total of this list waa some $1,700.

Miss Oliver then submitted an sppraiBemont made by some second hand doaler, which amounted to something like $330. Here was a wide difference of opinion as to value, and inas much bb tho property originally cost nearly $6,000, Mr, Nostrand naturally preferred to keep it gather than ao copt tho doaler's figures. Howover, the matter was dis cussed and $1,200 was finally agreed upon as the price to be paid for the property. Mr. Joues at onoe sub oribed $100 toward it.

Mr. Nostrand did the same, and in a few minutes about one third of tho money was promised. It was then arranged that the matter should be presented to tho people on tho following Sabbath, and the balance of the money anked for. This arrangement was never carried out, and the fur niture question remained in statu quo for several weeks. It was afterwards arranged tnat It snould no rented for throe mouths for $50, to which Mr.

Nostrand agreed. and MIbb Oliver stated to your reporter that ehe had every reason to believe that this $50 had been paid, but up to this momont Mr. Nostrand has not received a dollar of it. It is alleged that he asked Miss Oliver $1,000 lor mo parsonage luruuuru. air.

rtosirana DENIES THIS IN TOTO. MIbs Oliver BtateB that Bho suggested the appointment oi appraisers, one on eacn side, and tney to call in a third party, but mat it was declined. Miss Oliver's memory must ne exceedingly lauity, sue forgets how persistently Mr. Nostrand urged this very course, and mat ino appraisements suomiiieu at me meeting aDovo mentioned were tne result oi ma urgent onorcs in tnat direction. MIbs Oliver states that "they came down in their price to out alter taming tiro matter over it was decided to offer them as much as we could raise, and that was $GO0, which we oiTerod to pay in tureo installments." Now.

as a matter of fact. I would Btate that $1,200 waa fully agreed upon by the oommittee, fully coucuireu in uy hubs uuver ana air. Jones, ana accepted by Mr. Nostrand and further, no euch sum as $000 waa over mentioned and I clearly recollect how profusely Miss Oliver thanked Mr. Nostrand when he offered $100 toward paying for the property.

Miss Oliver states that "they propose to take away tho library, class banners, mottoes, for the library, it is INCLUDED IN MB. NOBTBAND'B MOBKJAGE. The other property belongs to the Wesley Society and has never been transferred to the Willoughby avenue Church, except iu so far as they have had the use of it through oourtesy. Many of them seem to think that be cause thoy formerly belongod to the Wesley Society, that they can carry tho old church property with them wnercvor uiey go. imagine too result or tnis tneory, whoro the mombers are scattered among a dozen different churches.

Miss Oliver's little pleasantry concerning the "doors" demonstrates that Bho has not lost heart, and to those who can determine that it is a Joke it certainly is refreshing. Now a few wordB in regard to Mr. Nostrand's mortgage, its origin, Miss Oliver says it was put on to prevent Its falling into tho hands of boer garden people, who contemplated purchasing the church, oto. The facts are as follows Mr. Nostrand has for years boon tho financial mainstay of the church.

His pocket book was always open. If any emergency arose he was the man to meet it. He always Btood in the gap. As a natural consequenoe the church was heavily indobted unto him. Last September it was thought right and proper to secure him in a measure for his heavy advances, and a chattel mortgage was executed in his favor covering everything belonging to tho church which was not covered by the bank's mortgage.

This was the true intent of the mortgage, and tho schedule was made as complete as possible. Your article was the first intimation we had that ANT BKEB MAN HAD DESIGNS upon the property. We had heard of livery stables aud tho Catholics, but never for a moment thought of King Qambrinus. The trouble, Mr. Editor, is Blmply this It has been very clear of lato that the church was not to belong to the people, nor have the people aa yet had any voice in its management.

Some weeks ago It was regularly announced that an election would be held for trustees upon a stated Tuesday evening. Upon tho last Sabbath prior to the election we were Informed from the pulpit that it was not the correct thing to have tho poople choose these officers, because they must be styled an incorporating board, and that the proper way was for the pastor to select them herself. Sho then read her list of appointeeB, which it is perhaps needless to state included Miss Oliver herself and Mr. Edward Jones. And Bo it goes.

Thinking peoplo did not care to sub scribe their money to repair and koeD in order Miss Oliver's private property, simply for the privilege of attending service there. It did not seem church like nor home like, and many kept aloof solely on that account. The old church had a membership of some three hun dred, out of whloh perhaps one fourth have gone with Miss Oliver. No momber of Wesley has ever been refused a letter of dismissal by the Elder, whon applied for in a proper manner neither have any questions been asked, or re strictions imposed, as Btatea in your article. It Is true that the old society contemplates erecting a chapel noar the old site more than probable upon the very ground you mention and as they already have the greater part of tno money neeaea to uuiia witn, tney naturally feet that thoy have a perfect ricrht to do so.

It not true that Conference has pledged itself to send ua brilliant preachers, nor have they even bo much as hinted at a subsidy. Indeed. I question whethor any of them know anything about It at ail, excepting, of course, the Eider. Your article, while IN THE MAIN TBUE, bo largely drawn from a vivid imagination as to detail, that it does ua injustice; hence we aro compelled to draw largely upon your woll known good nature and valuable Bpacs to Bet ourselves Btraight before the DUblio. We havo no ill will toward MIbs Oliver, nor the least prejudice against remale preachers.

There is no disputing that she is eloquent, well educated, thoroughly in earnest in her calling, and a lady whose friendship any one might be proud of but she 1b badly advised, and withal cannot seem to realize it. Trusting you will pardon Buch a heavy draft upon your space, I remain Bespectf nlly yours, Geo. M. Ghanoee, Acting Secretary Wesley M. E.

untton aalu. as cruardlan or tne cnua. it seemed as though ho ought to take tho Initiative, lie would examine tbe witnesses to the will, aud go aa fax as that at all events. Dr. William Gilflllan said that he attended Mr.

Bradford in bis last Illness and eaw him after his death. Tha doctor signed aa a wltuosa to tha will the day before biB death. Nothing was Bald by Mr. Bradford about the witness signing tho will, uor was anything eald in his presence about it. Nothing waa aald either by him or to him about Dr.

Gilflllan'B becoming a wituess or signing as such. Nothing waa said before ho oxecutcd tbe will. Mr. Edward Bradford, son of the testator, askod tho doctor to be a witness to the will, but not In tho presence of the deceased. Mr.

Edward said that his father had made no arrangement of bis affairs and he thought be had better uiako a will. Then tho doctor wont into the Ucuentl's room and told him ho had better arrange his aCalre. Ho didn't Bocm to be surprised or to bo moved either way. Nothing was said about being a witness. General Bradford said ho wanted two grandchildren of his cared for, as their father had not cared for them.

Ho desired to loavo them abont $2,100 or V2.300 a year. Tbo doctor did not read the attestation before he signed It. Gonoral Bradford did not declare It to bu his Unt will aud testament. He signed it aud ibid nothing. Tha doctor assumed tbo attestation was in the usual way, aa he had signed many wills.

On cross examination by Genoral Tracy Dr. Gilflllan Bald ho knew nothing of the codii.il. "I heard ut it tot tbe Drat time about teu minute in thla room, ld the doctor. Ho flret read attestation clause a fow minutes before he was called to tho ntaud. Tho lawyer said all was ready, took the paper and told the General where to sign.

The General waa bolstered up in bed, his spectacles wcro found, thu vtiil was read by tho lawyer and tho General mado no reply. Tho doctor nevrr bea'd before of "shares of railroad bonds," and ho thought if ht bad beard It ha would have DETECTED TUB 1ILUKDEB. General Bradford apoke of (3,000 of stock and not ot 3,000 hares as in tbe will. The doctor did uot examine thou into tbe testator's condition, but hu waa slutting rapidly. When he began to make out a schedule for tbe lawyer, his mind wandered.

wavered a little and oould not oarry on a lengthened mental oporation. Ho said wanted to take care of his grandchildren, and everything beyond an income of 2,000 or $2,300 a year for tho grandchildren, ha lft to his son Edward. He mentioned a nlaca and spoke of leaving half of a mortgage to her, and afterward ha Bald ho would leave the whole of it to her. The doctor testified to certain motions of tho General's bnrh which he aid indicated a low mental condition. To Mr.

Britton, the doctor said tha symptom pracaded death and did not necessarily indicate that tbs General waa mentally weak. After tho will ho answered questions intelligently, but didn't eonvarse. He answered yes or uo as to his condition. Dr. Ollhllan aald to Goneral Tracy that General Bradford did not seem able to carry on any conversation ha died of heart disease and pneumonia.

SurrogaU Dailey When you went in to have the wilt oxecutcd, waa the testator drowsy or asleep or what A. Ho waa in a quiet condition, and oaaiiy aroused if aaleop, there was no stupor. Q. From your observation was he capable of comprehending the act he waa doing, hla relation to hla family and friends aud the amount of tha property A. At first I thought he waa; but afterward when he got things mixed up, I bad grave doubts; I would not aay ho was mentally incapable, but I doubted bis menial capacity.

By Mr. Britton Did he mention any names or anything that don't appear In the will 7 A. I think a greater number of articles were mentioned than appear in tho will. By Mr. Guy B.

Mrs. Dornoy testified that Genoral Bradford died at her house and ht saw him sign the will. Whan tha lawyer had written out what the Goneral told bun, ha held him up and ho signed, bu.1 his bsai was very tremulous.

Tho paper was first read to turn, but Mr. Dornoy could not understand MB. FEBttia' PECCLIAB PnOHUNCIATION. Mr. Ferris aald, "You aign here," and Mrs.

Nothing was aald by the Gonaral or to tha Goneral about but signing the wl)L Tha General never aald anything at any time about her being a witness to the wllL Tha General never aald It was hla last will. When aaked to sign, tho Goneral said, "Here," repeating Mr. Ferris' last word If auy one uid to tho General, "Are job better 7" bo would reply, "Better he had a way of repeating tha but word. Mrs.

No question was aaked as to the document being hia last will and testament. Whoa tha will waa road tha General neither assented nor dissented by word or motion or sign.

MUNICIPAL. Meeting of" the Board of City Works. Whom Commissioners Hazzard and Worth Preferred for Dlllion's Place Another Flahertyite DIsoharjred Two Damping Foremen and Eight laborers Bounced. Likewise Night 'Watchman Johnny Iolden. The politicians who thronged the sidewalks in front of the Municipal Building land crowded the corridors and stairways to day talked of nothing but changes in the Dopartment of City Works.

Consider able oommtnt was oaused by the information that both Worth and Hazzard had candidates for the position of Dillon who Was discharged yesterday, the former Com missioner favoring the appointment of Eph. Boborts, and the latter wanting William Stewart, both Eleventh Ward Republicans. M. J. Hannan, President Massey's choice, apiears to have been appointed by the votes of Massey and Worth.

The fact that Worth dropped his candidate and voted for Massey's Indicated to the gossips that these two Commissioners intended to control the patronage of the department. It was given out that they had abiorbed most of tho appointments on the street repair gangs which are to go to work to morrow. These places were given to the friands of Aldermen. Stewart is said to have beon allowed an entire gang. Prosldent Bay got two men and Aldorman Powers four.

The other Alder men were aleo voll provided for. The meeting of the Commissioners to day waa looked forward to with great interet, as it waa expeeted that important changes would be made. It was reported on very good authority that the Board was unanimously in favor of removing Beglstrar MoLaughlin, Superintend ent of Streets and Supplies Hayes and others equally high iu place, but that there was a hltoh in regard to tho appointment of their successors. There was an im presBion that tho appointments would consequently be deferred for a week or more. It was understood that each Commissioner had a can date for oach plaoe and insisted upon his appointment.

There was still a good deal of talk about acting Mayor Bay calling a special meeting of the Board of Aldor men and nominating a man who would be oonfirmed for Massey's place, and thus prevent changes in the Dopartment; but it was talk and that was all. Ray said ho was disgusted with affairs in the Department as far as they had gone, and was awaiting further developments. Of course Bay is disgusted, and every other jobber, and it is simply because Messrs. Worth and Hazzard do not act to suit their purposes. The noxt regular meeting of the Al Sermon will be held on the first Thurs day of August, and the indications are that if any nominations are sent in, they will not emanate from Mr.

Bay. Hia Honor Mayor Howoll Is recovering, and In all probability will be at his office by that Unio. TUB OITr WOBEEBS ZN SESSION. The Board met shortly after eleven o'clock, Prosldent Massey presiding. Secretary Northup waa in hla ao oustomed place.

Tho minutes of yesterday's private meeting having been read, Commissioner Hazzard said I did not suppose, Mr. President, that we were in business session yeBterday morning. I thought It was simply a conference. The matter of removing Mr. Dillon I in dorse with all my heart, but I would like to have it ap pear that my choice for his place was William Stewart.

That is abont the only thing I ask. I wanted Mr. Stewart in the place of Mr, Dillon, and you put in Mr. Hannan." It has already been done," said Mr. Massey; "but you can move to reconsider." "I want it to appear," remarked Commissioner Haz zard, "that I favored the appointment of Mr.

Stewart. Of course, I can't change it. My feeling was I wanted Mr. Stewart there, but I can't have "The appointment" continued President Massey, "was brought about through tho necessity of doing some repairs immediately, and your preference waa Mr. Stewart, and Mr.

Worth wished Mr. Roberts ANXIOUS TO BE UNDERSTOOD. 'I would like to hava it understood," chimed in Com mlssioner Worth, "that I preferred Eph. Roberts for that place, but couldn't get him. That cannot appear the minutes, but it can appear somewhere else." And Commissioner Worth turned to an Eaole reporter.

"I only want to get It before the poople," said Commissioner Hazzard. "I am willing, if there is any odium for putting Mr. DiUon out, to take it. I think he ought to go out, and I think his reputation 1b suoh that he ought not to be there." SOMETHING WBOHO ABfDT THE PIPES. The Board waa to have opened proposals to day for supplying one thousand tons of water pipes.

Six wero received, and the Board was about to open them when Commissioner Hazzard requested that the opening bo postponed for the present. He explained that he had received some information in connection with the matter which he desired to investigate. There might be nothing In It, but ho thought it should be examined before the proposals were opened. Commissioner Worth said he had received Information from certain parties, and although he did not place much oredit In it, he thought it would be well to Investigate it. Commissioner Hazzard said that the information came to him from a party he was inclined to believe.

did not affect any of tha employes ot the department on, no but outside parties. "Put upon your minutes," directed President Massey, addressing the Secretary, "that on motion of Commissioner Hazzard the opening of bids for water pipes was postponed." "I want it nlly understood," added Commissioner Hazzard, "that this information does not affect any of our employes, or anything of the kind. It laomethlng entirely outside." BOUNOINQ A FIiAHEBTYim President Massey offered resolutions dismissing F. B. Van Horn, an assistant inspector under General Inspector Dillon, and devolving hla duties upon John Furey, who is employed In the Engineer's Bureau.

President Massey said that Yan Horn was not needed, as Furey, according to the statement of the Chief Engineer, oould perform Inspector's work aa well as hia own. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. This Yan Horn la an Indeplndent of the Thirteenth Ward. He owed bis place to Flaherty and Bennett, and was only too willing about election times do their bidding. He was Dillon's right hand man in office, and had little or nothing to do.

It was a nice place for one of the faithful of the Indeplndent flock. THE DUMPERS DUMPED. Commissioner Hazzard called for the monthly pay of tho men on the dumping grounds, which ho characterized the other day aB simply outrageous. There are two foremen and eight laborers employed, the amount of their pay for this month Is $442. Philip Clare, the well known politician, and James O'Donnell are the foremen, and they receive $2.

SO each day. Commissioner Hazzard said: "The Common Coun has appropriated 3,000 to level the ashes and street dirt in these lots, whloh belong to other people. Just as soon aa a load of itreetdirt ia dumped there more than a dozen Dutchmen and Italians picking and digging it down to get coal and rubbish. Here are three men and a foreman employed at one place. I don't know who the men are.

They tell me Phil Clare la there. I have vial tod that ground seven tunes myself, and hava neror found more than one man to work. The oremaa and two men would be sitting under a abed." Commissioner Worth asked, "What proposition do make (Jommiaaloner Hazzard replied, "I propose to discharge all, and then employ one man at each ground. might take ona man out of each gang and re employ him," A resolution discharging the two foremen and eight laborers waa unanimously adopted.

"I waa told on good authority," said Commissioner Hazzard, "that that man has not done doty three nights a year." "I want a vote on that resolution," said Commissioner Worth. I vote against it."

Flaherty and jlmmvBjran are chltt apostles. of of to a to tha at and lest Hn, at tha held The Brooklyn Anatomical and Surgical Club's Bequest They Desire Permission to Carvo up Bodies, but Some of their Neighbors Object What Is Said on Both Sides.

Last week Dr. Charles Jewett, on behalf of the membora of the Brooklyn Anatomical and Surgical Club, which have their rooms at No. 28 Madison street, requested permission of tha Board of Health to be allowed to make dissections of human bodies, or portions of bodies, at their club rooms. Inasmuch as such permission had been given last year and the members of the club had been proceeding with their post mortem work, and as the neighbors had complained about it, the Board revoked the permission to continue dlaaeo Hon, and since then the work has ceased. Aa tho matter has again come up before the public, in tho shape of anew application, some facta concornina the matter may be published for the benefit of the Eaolk's readers.

No. 28 Madison street la noar Franklin avonue, and on the right band side stands a throe story and basement building, the basement and lower floor of which are used as a carpentcr'a shop. Tha two upper floors belong to the Anatomical and Surgical Club, although there is no aign to announce that fact to the general public. Opposite is a row of neat frame houses to the right of tho carpenter's shop is a row of frame houses, all of them occupied directly in the rear of the build ing is anothor row of houses, all of which aro occupied. ino great majority cf tho people living in tha olose vicinity have signed a petition in favor of the nhvslclana being allowed to remain whore thoy are and prosecute their researches; but there are one or two families who are bitterly opposed to anything of the sort.

In a neat residence, diagonally aoross tho stroot from the olub rooms, resido THE MISSES BIOELOW. Who havo Bomo of the most remarkable stories to tell of the foul deeds which have been done in tho olub rooms upon tho dlBscctiug tablo. One of the ladles in question, who has been very enerttetic In hor efforts to have tho club stoppod and sont out of tiio neighborhood, says eolemuly that she once eaw a couplo of vounc dootora inauHug and cutting to nieces a beautiful "nolden haired infant" in a manner that was shockingly disgusting. The lady told this to the Board of Iloalth. When sho was questioned about tbo maitor, aud was asked how sho could bo so positive whon hor houso is at least one hundred feet away, it turned out that this particular MIbs Bigelow and tho otuora havo a pair of strong opera glasses, which thoy havo beon in the habit of taking up to the top of their houso and there bringing them to a focuB upon tho windowa of tho club rooinn, which aro gonerally opon.

Tho alarming Btatemont of MIbs Blgolow about tho golden haired Infant was investigated to tho fullest oxtont and the Infant turned out to bo a yellow or eoldon haired eat which hmi b.n under the scalpel of ouo of the mombars of tho olub, and tho preserved skeleton of which can bo seen, noatly mounted, by any one having that spojial de3ira. A gent.oman, named Fulham, also statod that whon ho was coming home one night ho heard, as ho was passing tho olub roomB, a peculiar notr.e. Looking across tho streot at the building he saw a doad darky stretched out upon a dissocting tablo. whtlo the doctors were hover ing around the body "LDJE SO MANY DEVILS" making tho darky danco and Jump, and throwing tho corpse into tho most horriblo contortions by meanB of the electrio battery. Other poople residing in the vicln lty say thoy have been troubled by tho most horrible stenches that they over smelt in their lives, and thoy wero euro that tho doctors had corpses decomposing aud rotting all round their club rooms.

That theso complaints proceed more trom tho Imagi nation then they do from any foundation in faot, ia shown by tho statement of two peoplo who havo Bniolt tho stench of doad bodios recently, and wore poaitivo that the odor emanated from tho club rooms, whereas there has not been a corpso in thero for tho last six months. When tho olub first started, and as soon as tha neighbors found out what tho club was composed of, tho most exaggerated storlos wero put Into circula tion as to wnat thoy wero going to do. Tho prevaillnc; impression was that the rooms would be full of corpses which would bo decomposing all tho while, aud tbe neighbors were in arms against any such thing, tho feminine nature especially revolting against euch an outrage. Still the club mot, and their work proceeded, but very fow could find cause of complaint, although the Idea of a dissecting room at all, was distasteful to tho people living near. Finally, tho protest was sent to the Board of Health, and tho club was instructed to cease dissecting.

Since then the different members of the olub have seen tho prinoipal residents of tho neighborhood, and have explained to them the object and use ot the eiub rooms. Verv manr have boon in to inspect them. The result has been that now, instead of having the majority of the residents against them, tho club counts upon their friendship to appear in its behalf before tho Board, to combat tho statements of a fow malignant enemies, such as the Misses Bigelow. These ladles last named wero asked to inspect tho premlBes occupied by tho club, and the physicians havo been to each ono of those who so persistently comp'ain, and have given them tho right to admittance into the olub rooms at any hour, day or night, that they may deem fit. "The trouble is, that thoy won't come anyhow," Bald Dr.

Lewis 8. Pilcher last evening, "and they aro unfair onough to tell us so, and yet go on complaining and telling the most absurd Btorles of what thoy know nothing about, that it la poBsIblo to conceive." THE OLUB WHAT IT IS. Anatomical and Surgical Club was organized a couplo of yoars ago by physicians already in practice, but who desired to prosecute thoir studies in Anatomy and Surgery, and by practloo acquire that skill with the knife which would onablo them to undertake a surgical operation with confidence and with a full knowledge of exactly how to act in the matter. Theso physloians in question all resldo in tho upper part of Brooklyn, and were not able to go so far as the Long Island College for the purpose of prosecuting their studies, consequently the idoa of a olub for tha hotter pursuit of professional knowledge and where dissections could bo mado and demonstrations witnessed, suggested itsolf, and tho Anatomioal and Surgical Club la the result. It was founded for tha purpose of supplying its membors advantages for study which they wore unablo to find olsowhera.

Upon the upper floor aro three rooms Tho front ono ia used for preparing specimens, and here tho dissections are made. The rear room contains cases for anatomical or pathological specimens in courso of preparation, and also various apparatus necessary for illUBtrauna leovnres on PAnoral nhnmlstrv nnil nrtn. rtx. 5 7 tt venlenets for chemical analysis, There are three or four excellent microscopes here also. The use of this instrument is often needed, and two or three members of the club are experts.

In the smaller of the rooms are macerating vats, for the preparation of os teologlcal specimens, batteries connected with tho club telegraph line, which connects with the house of each member, and the room is aleo arranged for ordinary and micro photography. The floor below consists also of three rooms. The front ono Is fitted up aa an am phithoatro for demonstrations and lectures, the rear ouo aa the museum, and the smaller room leading from this is a private one, occupied by tho ourator. Thoro 1b a fine tolephono in the museum, which connects with the offices of tho various members of the club. The membership is limited to twenty five, and tho number is now full.

Among those who lectured there this Spring wore Professors Hamilton, LL.D., Professor Noyes, M. Professor Otis and Br. Prout. THE CLUB BOOMS were visited by the roporfor. They are Just as described above, and wero very clean and free om anything like an offensive odor.

Tho prepared specimens aro either in jars, or oxhlblted in cases, and are all beautifully arranged. The museum, in fact, shows an amonnt of research and labor which ia highly creditable to the members. Tho President and founder is' Dr. Lewis S. Pilcher.

He served as a surgeon in tho TJnltod States Navy during tho war, after which he settlod in Brooklyn, and has distinguished himself here by bis studies in membranous croup, and by the brilliant and original manner In which he has performed numerous operations of tracheotomy. He has just been appointed adjunct professor of anatomy of the Long iBland College Hospital. Last year he waa abroad, paying particular attention to anatomical and surgical subjects. The Secretary is Dr. George B.

Fuwler, who enjoys a European reputation for the original and successful manner In which removes meckles JgsngUon. The Edinburgh ifed ical Journal quoted hla description of ono case, and commenting on it said that it was tho most masterly thing of its kind ever written. The Treasurer of the cluD is Dr. Z. T.

The Board of Health will listen to the application of the club for permission to dissect, and to tho protests against them, if there bo any, on Friday week next at o'clock. Hit. WATSOX DISCHARGED.

Failure to Prove (hat (be 'Assault and Battery was Committed In 'rials State. William Watson, a New Lots counselor, and shining light in the local Republican association, being a delegate to the Republican General Committee, waa last evening before Justice Gertum, in East New Fork, on a charge of assault and battery, made by O. Erout, an undertaker. Mr. Erout testified that ho resided on the Jamaica Plank Road, where he did business aa an undertaker.

On the evening of the 20th of July he waa in Wright's saloon talking to Mr. J.W. Van Wicklen about some business. A passing train attracted attention, and he went to the door, where he mot Watson, who stepped up to him, and after looking at him for a few moments, applied names to him that were quite vile. He returned tne same epithets, and Watson then struck him in tbe face.

He returned tho blow, and general fight onsned, which waa stopped by Officer Howard. Sergeant French then passed by, and ho asked him to make an arrest. This concluded Erout'a testimony. Counselor Benedict, who appeared for Watson, moved that tbo case be dismissed, as the plaintiff had failed to show that the assault had been committed in the State New York, Kings County, and Town of Now Lota, having only located the assault In Wright's saloon. Justice therefore had no Jurisdiction.

INVALID, A t7. U. U. U. of la at tho A.n Infected Vessel at a Brdoklyn Dock.

Prompt Action of the Board of Health. Two More Deaths at Quarantine The Flague at St. Louis and Memphis. Margaret Cragen died of yellow fever yesterday at tho Presbyterian Hospital, in Seventeenth street, noar Fourth avenue, New York. She was the stewardess of the bark Wallace, which loft Havana on Jnne 19, and on Saturday last complained of being sick.

It was supposed that she was suffering from remittent fever, and it was not until about twenty hours before death that yellow fever waB Buapeoted, and then as there was no black vomit preceding her demise, it was still a question until an autopsy settled the fact be yond any doubt that she died of yellow fever. As far as hor cobo is concerned it has nothing whatever to do with Brooklyn, but It was discovered that the Wallace was lying at the foot of North Twelfth street yesterday, and the health authorities of New York at once communicated that fact to Sanitary Superintendent Raymond, who received their dispatch last evening just as he was returning from a day's trip Into the country. With the promptness whloh has characterized all his actions in such matters, he had the Wal lace transferred back to Quarantine. The following la a hletory of the movements of the vessel as given by Dr. Yanderpoel, Health Officer of the Port: The Wallace, commanded by Captain McCormack, arrived here with a cargo of sugar, oonslgned to Jonas Smith from Havana.

The vessel made the passage In thirteen days. Ono man was sick on leaving Havana, but got well. Upon reaching New York, three of tho crew who complained of being sick were sent to the hospital at Quarantine. They had no symptomB of yellow fever, but Boemed to be BUfforing from latitude and general debility. After being in the hospital nine days they were discharged, they being fully reoovered.

They went back again to tho Wallace. Dr. Vandorpoel kept the vessel in for fifteen days, simply on account of the sickneBB of these men, and had her fumigated twloe, and sho was cleaned wherever a scrubbing bruBh could reaoh; oven her bottom timbers were sorapod. No other cases or even symptoms of sickness were observed, and after a lapse of flf teon days the permit was given to the Wallace and she came up to Now York and discharged her cargo. A QUESTION.

The cargo of the Wallace was discharged in upper Quarantine, but there was a quantity of Havana Btone in her hold, which the Captain said he had to use as ballast, aud begged permisBion to keep it. He was finally allowed to reballaBt his vessol with ballast logs, for although tha stone seemed to bo cloan, and had cost considerable money, yet Dr. Yanderpoel did not deem it wise to allow it to remain in the vessel. The stewardess was hot taken slok until last Saturday. Tho Wallace, when she left quarantine, had been more carefully cleaned and fumigated than most vessels, and if there iu any virtue in disinfectants, would appear to have been perfectly healthy.

Tho question, therefore, arises, did the stewardess havo the germs of tho fever in her system on leaving Havana, or did she afterward contract it from the Wallace after that vessel had been bo thoroughly cleaned This is a question of groat interest to physicians, nearly all of whom agree that the period of incubation in fever casos is seldom longer Qian five days. If this is true, the stewardess must havo contraotod the diseaBo from the vobsoI, aftor it had been fumigated; if sho did not, then it is clear that the period of incubation was over a month that is from Juno 19 to July 20. A great many physicians, who havo made yellow fever a special study, aud have given oioso attention to the subject of fumigation and disinfection, olaim this Thafclt is IMPOSSIBLE TO THOBOUOBXY DISINFECT a vessel. They claim that bilge water and the bilge of a vessel oannot bo disiufected and rendered harmless by the proccssos of fumigation and disinfection now resorted to, and that the only conceivable way in which the germs of tho disease can be thoroughly eradicated aud killed in the bilge and timbers of the vessel, 1b by forcing steam through them. The point upon whioh the medical fraternity disagree iu this case, therefore, is the ctroumstance3 under which Margaret Cregau bo came infected with the fever.

If tho period of incuba tion is not more than five or ten days, she must have contracted it olthor from tho vessol (on board of which sho remained) or else from the clothing she wore (all of which had boon disinfected), or elso Bho contracted it at Havana, and thus the period of incubation beoomes exteudod to over a mouth. In the one case medical knowledge of the length of time that the disease can remain in the Bystem without showing itself is at fault, and in the other the general belief in the effectiveness of the present modes of cleaning a vessel and infected clothing is equally unBound. Dr. Yanderpoel 1b satis fled that with the extra precaution which happened to bo obsorved in the caso of the Wallace, that whon tho bark loft Quarantine both sho and the crew were perfectly hoalthy. As Margaret Cregan remained on the veasol all theltlmo until she left it to go to the hospital, the interesting question as to where she contracted the disease presents itself.

BABTHOLOMEW MO KONE SINKINO. It will bo remembered that a week ago to day Sani tary Superintendent Raymond sent Bartholomew MoEone down to the quarantine hospital. McKone was attended by Dr. Drako, who found him lying slok at No. 60 State street.

Dr. Drake did not suspect yellow fover. In fact, at that timo the symptoms of tho disease had not sufficiently developed thomselves. Just previous to this, Donnis Manning, of the steamer Meridia, had been sent to quarantine, where he subsequently died of the yellow fovor. Sanitary Superintendent Raymond diBoovered that McEone was a fireman, who hid been employed on the same vessel on her last trip from Cuba, and at once investigated tha caso.

By a careful diagnosis he became satisfied that McEone was sufforing from yellow fovor, and at once sent him to quarantine. Dr. Yanderpoel saw McEone on his arri val there, and took occasion to question Dr. Raymond's vIowb of the caso, stating that in his judgment McKone did not have yellow fever at all, and Intimated that ho had no business to be sent to the hospital, Two daya afterward the Bymptoms of fever doveloped themselves unmistabably that there was no longer any question to the correctness of Dr. Baymond'e diagnosis, and day word was received from quarantine that McEone, though retaining all his faculties, is sinking, and it is feared that he will add ono more to the list of victims this dread malady.

KOBE PBEOAUTIONS IN BROOKLYN. In future the police will report to the Health Depart ment not only all the arrivals from Memphis and that vicinity, but sIbo from New Orleans and Havana, where fever has already oommenced to Bhow itself in an alarming character. It will be remembered that the health officials of this city, at the time that the yellow fever cases ocourred in the Navy Yard last Summer, traced its origin to a pile of ballast which had been taken from the Juanlta Clare, and wero ridiculed for entertaining such an idea. The fact turns out that ballast is a most dangerous vehicle for the spreading of disease, for it now appears that aU tho ballast brought from Havana la ol lined from a large mound whioh is situated directly in tho rear of the yellow fever hospital there. This is further confirmed by the official report of a oommittee from the American National Board of Health, now making investigations In Havana, which states that there is not the slightest doubt the germs of the disease aro carried in the ballast removed from Havana and from other ports where yellow fever indigenous.

So far the health of the residents of Brooklyn has been fully protected, and there is at this time no known danger existing in any quarter of the city. Two More Deaths at Quarantine Only Ono Patient The Quarantine Convrnissionpra received a dispatch at noon, to day, from Swinburne Island, stating that Bartholomew McEeon, a fireman of the steamer Morlda, of the Havana and Mexican Line, died in Hospital, at three o'clock, this morning, of black vomit. MoKeon is one of the men who left the shin on arrival and went to his home in Brooklyn. There was taken sick, which fact becoming known to the Health Board of the olty thoy ordered him to be sent once to Quarantine. A.

F. Beith, tho barber of the steamer Saratoga, who been in. the hospital some daya, died of tho fever night. There is now but one patient remaining in hospital, but it is not yet known whether he will be taken down with the fever. Ho has been complaining some daya and the doctor Is in doubt regarding his ailment Yellow Jack in New Yorlc.

Dr. Day said he had no fear that would be any other cases of yellow fever at the hospital resulting from the sickness of Mrs. Cregan. bark Wallace, from Havana, on board of whiob. the woman had come to the city, was again In quarantine.

Day said it was somewhat remarkable that Mrs. Cregan should havo been attacked with tho fover twenty five days after arriving in this city, bulls was be presumed that latent seeds of the disease had been carried in her clothing. No new caso of tho fever had reported, he said, up to noon to day. Yellow Fever In St. Louis.

St. Louis, July 31. The name of the negro who died at 712 Washington Btreet, on Tuesday night, is now ascertained to be Julius Soalea, of MemphlB.
