Two families, named Darby and Burns, living adjacent to eaoh other, at itos. 7 apd Walton street, nave not been on very amioable terms for some time past.

A Vet from tit Supervisor at Large. Ee Disapproves of Two Appoirumenw Made by the Board of Snperrisore To bo Tested Extensive Armory Bepalrs. ThA ADDointment of ex Supervisor George O. Brown and James Shannon to the offloea of Inspector of Supplies at the Penitentiary and engineer of the nmr HnnoA bI thu IsbI meeting of the Board of Super visors was the result of a very active canvass in behalf of those gentlemen. Mr.

Brown is a resident of tho Eighteenth Ward. He retired from the Board at the oIobo of last year, and having made a good many friends among his former associates, his exertions to secure the place were made almost entirely upon personal When the resolution providing for his appointment was offered, a motion was made to referit to the Ponitentiary Committee. Tha vote uDon it was equally divided, but tho super visor at Large announced that he had no right to cast the deciding vote, the law prohibiting him Irom voting on appointments. Supervisor MoDonaia appeaiea irom the decision of the Chair, and a vote of twelve to twelve being recorded the appeal waa sustained and Mr. Guthrie voted no on the motion to refer.

The resolution was then submitted and adopted by a vote of fifteen to ten. Five Bepubllcans voted for the appointment and five Democrats voted against it. James Shannon, like Mr. Brown, is a Demoorat, though not so widely known. Several amendments wars orrerea to the resolution appointing him, but they wore all voted down, and the appointment was made by a vote of thirteen to ten.

In this case the party lines were more strictly drawn, orjj two Bepublicans voting for the resolution. Yesterday afternoon the Supervisor at Largo filed with Clerk Cadioy the fallowing VETOES To the Board of Supervisors nT.NTT.nMEw I doolino to anDrovo of the two resolu tion ndnnted bv vour Honorable Body on the 21th ult one annomtincr a storekeonor for the Penitentiary and the other an engineer to run the ventilating apparatus recontly conatructea at tuo uouniy oourt uouse, ior mo following rcasonB can find no law whioh. in my opinion, confers au thority on your Board to appoint or create such offices aa those referred to. I do not think that thoy coaio within tho character of those wmcu tne laws or ibio authorize the appointment of, and I know of no law nimnnii nrovimis to the one of 187S wbiuh confers tho oxercioo of such authority on your Honorable Board. RnidrtA.

if tho resolutions are neiu to ue aaonien in pur suance of tho provisions of the law of 1875, then they require tho amrmauve votes oi a majority oi an me memoors eiecteu to mo juoaro, anu iimmw vi to rcnt lutiona referred received the required indorsement, For the reasons heroin montioned I return unapproved the resolutions aforesaid. Samdt.l Gothhie, Supervisor at Largo. Tho powor of the Supervisor at Large to voto ap pointments was at first doubted, but section 4 of tha act nroacribiuB his powers clearly establishes it. It reads as follows Nothing in this act contained shall confer upon tho Supervisor at Large any power in relation to appointments authorized to be mado by law by Baid Board of Supervisors exoept to preside at tho mcetlnga held thoref or or in relation to the appointments of tne com mittees of said Board unless authorized by tho said Board." It is probable that an attempt will bo made to pass the appointing resolutions over tho vetoes. TO BE TESTED.

Ho is the proprietor oi a aeconanatiu iuriu ture store at that number, and for two years has there carried on hiB business with no Bmali degree of prosperity. But he has had trials to bear, and obstaoles to overcome. Not tho least of his sufferings waa tne annoyance he receives at tho hands of some of his neigh bora, who protested against his preaenco in their midst, taunted him about hlsj Hebrew descent, pronounce him dishonest in the most emphatio terms, swore that he was a disgrace to bis race, were willing at aU timea to prove it, and threatened to puniah him if ho dared to rebel against their antagonism. Among those who wore most sevore in their denuncia tion of Mr. MarkB were a Mrs.

Kooney and a Mrs. Maggie Kiely. It is alleged that these ladies cherished suoh an ill feeling toward htm that they oven hired small boys to Btand in front of his store at night, and, with all the lung power thoy possessed, cry out tho rogue," "Marks, tho thief," "Marks, the fraud," and, finally, "Marks can't go to Manhattan Beach." These small boys were a terror to Mr. Mama, jsvon they received no recompense for troubling him, they they would have taken infinite delight in so doing, for they laughed and grinned when he shook hia flat, ana threatened to set a dog on them. But threats had no effect, and it soon becamo evident to Mr.

Marks that if he dosired to protect himsolf against tha annoyance of his neighbors, it would be noceaBary to invoke the aid of tho law. Accordingly he proceeded yesterday to tho Third Dis trict Court, and there had an interview with Justice Bloom, Bitting in place of Judge Fisher. It took him twenty minutes to narrate Mb troubles to the Judge, and when ho got through Mr. Bloom advised him to procure a warrant for tho ABBEST OF HIS CHIEF ANKOYERS. The services of Clerk Bhinehardt were accordingly brought into UBe, and he made out a warrant for the arrest of Mesdames Kooney and Blely.

Thia warrant was executed by Officers Stollworthy and Goodale. This morning the women appeared in Court, and Coun selor Baker, who is always ready to help ladieB in dis tress, at once tendered his services. Judge Bloom called tho case, and presuming, from the deluge oi taut that was showered upon him, that if he heard it through he would have no vacation, he adjourned it until Jus tice Fisher's return. Mr. Marks waa not in favor of this arrangement, desiring immediately to put a quietus on bis annoyera.

But Judge Bloom was Inexorable, and the examination was postponed until the 18th Inst. ABANDONED. An Unknown Woman Gives her Baby to a Boy and Disappears. At eight o'clock last evening an unknown woman accoBted a boy named John Farreli, of No. 117 Wyckoil street, who was standing on tho corner of Dean and Hoyt streets, and said: "Sonny wlU you hold my baby for a few minutes and I'll give you a quarter." The bov said be would.

Placing a female infant about two months old in his armB, she Bald "Now be care ful don't let it fall. IU be baok in a couple of minutes." Johny held the baby and the woman disappeared and never returned. Tired of his charge at last, he told Officer Moaughlin, of the Third Precinct, the cir cumstance, and the officer took the infant, which was sent to Mrs. Carroll, the City Nurse, No. 80 Atlantio avenue.

A STEP SISTEB'8 COMPIiAIilT. Miss Mary Flonnery appeared before Justice Bloom yesterday and requested a warrant for the arrest of hor step brother Miohael Flannery, whom sue charged with having violently abused her. Officer Goodale arreBted Miohael this morning and brought him to court. Mary was waiting for him. Whon the case waa called, Miss Tannery was asked to narrate her troubles.

The vials of her wrath were poured on her step brother, whom Bho charged with having frequently kicked her. "Your Honor," said Mary, "Michael and I can never rf lnni7 tooether. Ho kicks me, and I now demand satisfaction. If I don't get it here I must elsewhere." The step brother pleaded not guilty. vnnr Honor." said Mias ilannery, "I never saw such a atory teller.

He did assault me." Bloom informed MIbs Flannery that she would undoubtedly get satisfaction when Justice Fisher returned, and accordingly adjourned tho case until the 18th inst.

Ray Eoady to Nominate Captain Steers for President of the Department of City Works Willing to Send in Flaherty's Name Some Important Information for Flaherty and his Friends.

Acting Mayor Eay and his fellow jobbers in and out of the Board of Aldermen had a fine job put up yesterday, whioh was only defeated by the fact that they were unable to induoe certain Republican Aldermen to violate pledges made by them not to take any unfair advantage of the Mayor's absence. Among thoso who gave personal pledges aro Stewart, French, Waters, Dreyer and Aitken. Droyer, jobber that ho is, yosterday sneaked out of his pledge by claiming that it applied only to special meetings which might be called, and that as yosterday's meeting was a regular one, he was free to act as he saw fit. Mr. DennlB Short, tho Mayor's clerk, said that Alderman Aitken also claimed to be freed from his pledge for a similar reason, and also for the reason that Smith, Petry and Powers had Blgnod a written pledge along with tbe Democratic members of tho Board.

In an interview with an Eaole reporter, just before tho mooting of tho Board yesterday, Ray said that ho was perfectly willing not only to send in nominations, but to go in the Board and vote for them. He would havo done bo had there been a big enough Republican voto. A caucus of tho Republicans was held at two o'clock, but, in consequence of tho pledges, no united plan of action could be agreed upon. THE TJNDEBSTANDING among the jobbers, however, was that If there should be any possibility of getting onough voteB, a nomination for ono place at least, tho Presidency of the Department of City Works, would be sent in. Powers, Petry and Smith were not at the caucus.

Without them there were but twelve Republican votes all told, not enough to confirm nominations. It waa said to day, that all tho Republican Aldermen who had given personal pledgee to tho Mayor, would have violated those pledges if tho thirteenth voto could havo boen secured. The Democrats and Petry, Powers and Smith, feared a job, and powers moved twice to adjourn, but waa beaten by a tlo vote. Efforts wero made to got Alderman Waters to vote to adjourn, but ho persistently refused. The City Hall statesmen wero wondering whom they had soleoted for President of the Board of City Works.

Ray said yesterday, he had not made any slate. It is stated on what must bo regarded as very good authority, that he first proposed to, send in Flaherty's namo, but that the Republicans "kicked so violently that ho had to drop his orony. But there is a widespread impresBion that he will yet send him in, and that Flaherty will be confirmed. FLAHEBTYI8M. That Flaherty is an unfit man for the placo of course admits of no argument, and It is given out that if hia namo is sent in, and if he is confirmed, he will immediately be placed on trial on the second indictment agalnt him.

He was oonviotedof conspiracy to defraud thn cltyj tb olhor infllotment is for defrauding the city. The opposition to Flaherty yesterday, caused Ray to look about for anothor man, and he fell upon Captain W. L. B. Steers of tho 8evcnth Ward.

ThiB la Alderman Stewart's man. Ho wanted Mayor Howell to send in Steers' name long ago. Captain Steers Ir a whole soulod. noDular gentleman, and hiB friends would like to see him placed. He was hovering about the Aldermanio Chamber yesterday afternoon, on the raggod edge of expeotancy, which gave way to despair when ho saw how tho Jobbers failed.

Tho im pression to day waa that had Steers' name been sent in, Stewart would have voted for him, notwithstanding his pledge. There was some talk to day of a special meoting oi the Board to bo called at an early day, with tho view of making nominations, but it is not likely that any will be called. Aldermen Powers, Smith and Fotry nave said they would stick to their pledges, and If they do, jobbery can be thwarted. Strong Influences wore brought to bear upon them yesterday to join tuo joo bors, but thoy manfully refused. ma yob howell's condition.

The condition of Mayor Howell, as reported at the Hall this afternoon, was very low, and fears wero enter tained that he would not recover. There is a great deal of sympathy expressed for him by thoso who are really hie enemies and to whom tidings ot ills aeaiu bring rejoicing. Thoy say it is a pity that such exigencies in pontics havo arisen that tho Democrats are worrying him, and insisting that ho shall como to hia office. Tho lying scoundrels who started such a story fail to see, or do not want to see, that It Is their own jobbery which has caused all the talk. IS DAGGETT OFFICE SEEKING.

Politicians around tho Hall asserted to day that Dag gett waa yesterday seeking to Induce Ray to include him in nominations which he (Ray) might scna in They said ho wanted the nomination for President of the Board of City Works. Mr. Daggett, whon spoken to on tho subject, said that it was false, that bo sought neither that nor any other office. Tho Btory must have been started by somo of bis enemies. COMMISSIONER WHEELER.

Proceedings Before Judge Van Brunt On Monday the proceedings for the removal of Polico Commissioner Wheeler were stayed until the third Monday of August by a writ of prohibition from Judge Van Brunt, together with an order to show cause why the injunction should not bo mane permanent. The Mayor's counsel subsequently procured an oraer, returnable in the Supreme Court in New York, before Judge Van Brunt, this morning, why the hearing of the order to Bhow cause on the writ of prohibition should not oe heard one week earlier. Tho Corporation CounBel stated tho nature of the mo g. I I .1 1. 1 win tlon, ana aaia reaponuoa.

ureuwwiiiu c. he could be beard. An affidavit of George BUss, of Boot Bliss, counsol rt afi. wrinfiiflr. was read bv Mr.

Schelley. It states that between ana cioc on tne evening oi the 6th of Augnit the order in this motion was servod on deponent. Already he had tickets bought and his baggage pacaeu anu evurj'uu riujcw on a yachting cruise at the time the return day was In fh vHrrinal writ of nrohlbition. He told the Court at ha tirnn that ha wonld be absent until the 18th of Au nn.t nri thAn that tlAtA waa lnHerteo in me oraer to Bhow cause. He then left town and permitted hiB client to leave town, not to return until the 18th.

Deponent thinks there is no reason why the motion should be taken out of the regular order of business, bocause Mr. Wheeler ta not now acting aa a rouuu vyuu sioner, or performing any publio duties. Tho offense charged refers to alleged publlo moneys received slnoe May 1878, and all such are on deposit in the Bank of i.rir tntha credit of the attorney of record in these prooeedlngB and anbjeot to the order of the court, and if Mayor Cooper wants to remove Mr. Wheeler there is one legal way for him to do it. namely by the appointment of his successor In fact, deponent has already suggested to the Mayor three excellent names, any ono of whom would be approved by the Council.

New aforR Park Commissioners. The report of the Commissioners of Accounts on the Park Department of New York, which haa been received by the Mayor, la a most formidable looking document. It la a mass of figures, statistics and extracts from tha proceedings of the Board of Park Commissioners, The report arrives at no conclusions and expresses no opinion, but leaves the Mayor to draw his oonoluiioM from the vast mass of figures. Its chief feature to show that the department exceeded Its appropriations on many occasions. It also gives a detailed history of the Riverside Drive work, and the money expended thereon, etc The Mayor nasnotjei made up hia mind as to whether he will give the report to the press to day or not.

THE "BRICK PILE flAJTO." In Svcamora street, whioh runs from Ray mond to Canton Street, congregates every evening a band of young men called tho "brick pile gang." They make night hideous by their performancet on tha banjo, and when one of the number la to funds, It is his duty to fill the can with beer. Last night two or three of the boys had a little spare cash, tho beer flowed more freely than usual, and two memoors oi s. Thomas Garrlgan and Henry Miniken, wore arrested for intoxication. Several persona living ui mo viuju. of Sycamore street appeared in court this morning, and one man told his Honor that the gang to which the prisoners belonged waa tho very worst In the city.

"They play uie nanjo, anna uroi, nv tho wind generally," said this gentleman. Judgo Bloom bolleved him, and gavo the young men ten days each in jail. The Ancient Mariner of the Wabash at the Navy Yard. Mr. Richard W.

Thompson's Unexpected Vislt What he Saw and What he Told the Marines A Flurry Among the Men who are Enjoying the Piping limes of Peace. The marines who ornament the Brooklyn Navy Yard were electrified yesterday by the unex. peoted appearance in their midst of Mr. Richard Thompson, a grave, alender, dignified gentleman who, by the grace of Mr. Rutherford B.

Hayes, is Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Richard W. Thompson happened to be in New York on private business, and having an opportunity he oonoluded that ho would drop into the yard In order to pass a few honrs pleasantly. He braved the tempest tossed waters of the East River in a Government tug and waa safely landed at the long dock after an unoventful voyage.

When the distinguished Navigator of tha Wabash stepped upon the pier tbe drowsy gunners at tho saluting battery banged away with a salute of nineteen guns; the marine band turned out and blow nntil they were black in the face, and Stars and Stripes blossomed out at the main's of the vessels in the Blip even more abund antly than on tho Fourth of July. Colonel Broome drew his marine oorps up in line and made them present arms, and Commodore Nicholson, the Commandant of tho Yard, shook the kinks out of his beautiful blonde hair and hastened to receive the distinguished visitor. Even the clerks, who In these piping times of peaco and low appropriations have little enough to do, shook off thoir Indolence and became suspiciously active Tho Bhip carpontora at work on the vesaols hammered away as if thoir lives depended upon it. There was not a man in tho yard, even down to the lazy watchmen, who was not aa busy aa the most oxactldg of secretaries could desire. the old mnjcs.

Mr. Richard W. Thompson, by the grace of Mr. Ruth erford B. Hayos, Secretary of the Navy, waa accompanied by Paymaster General Goorge F.

Cutter and Chief Naval Constructor John W. Easby. After tho usual greetings had passed betweon the visitors and the Com mandant, Mr. R. W.

Thompson waa escorted about the yard and examined with apparent gratification what ho could seo in the inclosure. He was particularly interested in tho old hulks that lie rotting on tho stocks, mnnvmouin to the extravoganoe and inefficiency of the party whose continuance In power Mr. Richard W. Thompson has advocated with all tho eloquence that years ago gave him the name of "tho sliver tongued orator of the West." This ancient mariner, whose ideas of naval construc tion are the result of extensive experience on the flat boats of tho raging Wabash, was of tho opinion that the old hulks could be utilized. Ho paid especial attention to the examination of the hull of tho New York, a sloop Vf war made of livo oak, and said that he believed eho could at some future time bo completed and Bet afloat.

Of tho great CoIosbub, whioh, as a triple turretcd monitor, was to be tho most formidable man of war afloat, and of the Java, whose decayed Umbers are falling apart, ho did not express such a hopeful view, but he undoubtedly considered them useful and calculated how many men he could net at work tinkering them by the time the Fall campaign set In. 6HIP AFLOAT. After making an examination of tho hulks, Mr. Richard W. Thompson went aboard of tho United States sloop of war Shenandoah and carefully Inspected her.

The Shenandoah Is now ready for sea her stores aro being put aboard and It Is expected that sho will eail within a few weeks. She will go to tho South Atlantic Bquadron to replace tho Hartford, which is coming borne for repairs. Tho vessoi was found In fine condi tion. The next visit wrs made to tho United States steamer TennesBco, which is being repaired and will bo ready to go into commission in about tiro months, It is not known what will bo done with the Tennos eeo. The original plan was to sen ner over to taao mo place of tho Trenton, aa flagship of tbo European squadron, but tho Trenton la reported to bo in such fine condition that this will not be done.

A new complement of officers will bo sent to the Trenton, probably either in the Guard or tho Supply, aud tho present officers will return homo. Visits wore paid by Mr. Richard W. Thompson to tho old sailing Jehi Constitution, which rumor sayB la to bo fitted up as a sohool ship; to the receiving ship Colorado and to tho Bureau of Provisions and Clothing Mr. Richard W.

Thompson oxprossed himsolf as very well satisfied with the condition of tho Yard and the vessels, and complimented Commodore Nicholson on the efficiency of his administration. TELLING IT TO THE MARINES. After lunching with tho Commodore, Mr. Richard W. Thompson sauntered up to tho Barracks, and endeav ored to Impress upon the marines the importance of bolieving that Mr.

Rutherford B. Hayes was elected, and that tho Pope of Rome waa to be dreaded and shunned aa carefully ao a red hot fifteen inch shell In full flight. Then he adjusted his life saving suit and went aooara tho tug and careonod over the blllowe of the East Rivor to tho point nearest his hoteL Aa Mr. Kichard W. Thompson set sail from tho long dock a wicked marino, happening to elude the gaze of tbo high and mighty Colonel Broome, after an unintelligible reference to "an attorney'a clerk," hummed beneath his breath "He polished up tho handle ao brilliantly That now he is the ruler of Uncle Sam's navee." A comrado in the ranss, crazed by tho "Pinafore," reported the offender to Colonel Broonio, and ho was promptly hanged to the yardarm of tho Colorado.

Mr. Richard W. Thompson waa expectea at tno i aro again this morning, but he had not appearod up to two o'clock this afternoon. The guns oh the battery were loaded and ready to fire tho saluto, the marines were ready to parade, and general disappointment was manifested at the non appearance of Mr, Richard W. Thompson.

The only explanation vouchsafed lor ma aoHence waa the suggestion of a veteran Jack tar, who vonturod the opinion that Mr. Riohard W. Thompson migut poaaiuiy have beon bo alarmed by the Bhowor of last oveniog that he feared to trust himsolf on a tug boat amid tho peril ous surgos of tho East Rivor. A LITTLE BTOBr. One of the engineers at tho Yard said to the Eaole reporter thia afternoon "Whon Mr.

Last evening, as the oxcursion steamboat Columbia was landing her paBBengora at Pier 2 North River, a disturbance was created on board by John Cudln, a young man of about 20, who was exceedingly insolent to Special Officer. TerwiUleer, of Brooklyn, tho officer employed on tho boat, and defied him to arrest him. Torwilliger and Officer Brady, of the Steamboat Squad, were standing on the pier aa the gang plank was hauled In, and tho pilot's bell sounded to start tho engine. As the boat moved away from the dock a shot was fired at Officer Terwilliger, but, happily, did no harm. Tbo two officers hastened to the foot of Lcroy street, where anothor landing was to be mado, aud arrived in timo to arrest Cudln as he was ENDEAVOBINO TO ESCAPE in the crowd.

After the boat left Plsr 2 the officers of the vessel endeavored to secure the young rowdy, but he fought desperately, and during tho melee he received a severe cut on hiB head, from which the blood flowed profusoly. Upon being taken to the Ninth Precinct Station House Cudin was searched and a small revolver was found In hia possession, one chamber of which was empty, the rest being heavily charged. Before Justico Morgan this morning, at tho Jefferson Market Police Court, Cudin was fined $10 for carrying a pistol without a permit, and was committed for examination for assaulting Offloer Terwilliger.

The Unsatisfactory Legacy Left by the Deceased President of the Fire Department. At a meeting of the Commissioners of the Department of Fire and Buildings yesterday, Commissioner Gallagher offered a resolution directing the Secretary of the Department to notify the heirs and executors, or both, of the lata David Williams, the deceased President of the Department, that a deficiency had been discovered la hit accounts, and requesting them to make good the amount This morning an Eaole reporter called npon Com missioner Gallagher, at lire Headquarters, for the purpose of getting some Information in regard to the circumstances that had rendered it necessary for himself and Commissioner Byan to adopt such a reso lution. Commissioner Gallagher said it was quite true that tbe resolution had been adopted.

In justice to the deceased and his surviving relatives and friends, however, he did not think that the details of the deficiency should at present be made publlo. A copy of the resolution, ho said, wonld be sent to the relatives of the deceased this afternoon, and It might be that on being satisfied that the claim was a just one, they would pay tbe money over and that would end the matter. At present all that can be learned respecting it is that the AMOUNT OF THE ALLEGED DEFICIENCY is about $2,200. After the death of President Williams the accountant of the Department made an examination of the boois, and by him Commissioners Gallagher and Byan were informed that there were deficiencies in the kerosene account, and also In the account for badges and buttons. The money for kerosene licenses and also for badges, buttons and other things furnished to members of the department waa received by the chief olerk and by him passed over to the PreBldent, taking hia ro ceipta for tho same.

It was then the dnty of the President to deposit the money so received with tha City Treasurer. It is claimed that tho accountant has dis covered that the deceased Preeidet received and failed to deposit with tie City Treasurer about $2,200. Neither Commissioners Gallagher nor Byan had ac cess to the books, and did not know what was going on until after tho death of Mr. Williams, and now they are anxious that the reputation of their deceased associate Bhall not suffer by any hasty or 111 advised action on their part. After leaving CommisBlonor Gallagher the reporter went to the City Clerk's office, where tho bonds of the deceased president are on fllo.

Mr. Betts. tho clerk who has charge ol all sucn docu ments, is now absent from tbe city on his vacation, and haB taken the key of tho safe with him. It waa, therefore impossible to ascertain tho names of ths bondsmen of the deceased preBldent. On inauiring at the Surrogate's omce tne reporter was informed that no will had yet been offered for pro bate.

Dr. Church was born in East Had dam, Connecticut, In January, 1799. He waa at an early age left an orphan and thrown upon his own resources. When very young he went to work in a fao tnrv. but havimz groat ambition, coupled with pluck, acquired sufficient education to onable him to enter the New York Medical School, working hard meanwhile to obtain sufficient money to pay his expenses.

After he obtained his degroe he practiced for a num ber of years in tho interior of the State, in the towns of Ithaca, Rochester and Cooperstown. in a oueinese point of view Dr. Church was eminently successful. He abandoned the practice of medicine In 1832. He waa the first to introduce into this country the use of bicarbonate of soda for baking purposes.

At that time the use of this article did not exceed a ton per annum, while at present the manufactured article is sold at the rate of 60,000 tons a year. Dr. Church was also engaged in the preparation of saloratuB, and founded the nouse oi Church Company, in Front street, New York, of which his two sons are the surviving mombers.

Mrs.

Church survives her husband, and is as hale and, though well advanced years, as bright as she waa twenty years ago. i Dr Church was given to deeds or chanty, ana con tributed liberally to many 'noble enterprises, yet by him his good works were never mentioned, and he leaves behind a large number oi those to whom ho was "a friend in need and a friend indeed."

After this terrible ordeal, through whioh it is believed Dr. Rowland remained conscious, he laid his head back on his pillow and Bank away peacefully. Dr. MOWiana was one of Brooklyn's oldest citizens. He waa its oldest physician.

Born in Fairfield, in ibou, gradu ated at Yale Medical College in iwn, ne aau iu upyui tunlty to take a position in the navy. Ho came to Brooklyn in 1825 for that purpose, but upon seeing the mhrvo oitv he caueht a new inspiration, and settled down to practice. He identified himself with tbe First PreBbytenan Churoh, Bev.

He never hesitated in any weainer nor at any time of day or night to respond to the call of tho ailing. He had the most Intense and keen sympathy for suffering, and deemed it hia bounden dnty to afford such relief as he could.

It is well known in local political circles that a bitter enmity exists between City Works Commissioner Jacob Worth, and ox Sheriff Albert Daggett.

The prediction has frequently been made that it would oul mlnate in a personal encounter between them, and yesterday afternoon that prediction came very near being fulfilled. There was a wordy row between the two during which threats of violence wore made, but no blows were struck. The politicians about the City Hall made it a topio of a gopd deal of talk, and as many of them were not fully posted as to what had ocourred, aU sorts of stories were afloat in regard to what transpired. Borne said that the two men had actually had a fight, in which Daggett was worsted, while others said that tie ex Sheriff had punistod the Commissioner and forced him to beat a hasty retreat. An Eaole reporter made a thorough investigation and is enabled to state Just WHAT DID OOCTJB.

Shortly before three o'clock, Daggett, CoUootor Tanner, Polioe Captain Lelcn, Superintendent of Sewers J. Dady, Alderman Stewart, Thomas A. Shea and other parties well known about the City Hall stood in front of Dioter'a restaurant in conversation. Daggett, Leicband Dady wore standing together, near the entrance, tho others being ont near the curb. While the four first mentioned were talking, Commissioner Worth and Assemblyman Morris B.

Flynn approached from tho direction of Myrtle avenue. What then occur is dosoribod by one of the parties present as follows "We were talking about the races at the Brighton Beach Fair Grounds on Tuesday last, when Daggett and Dady caught a big pool in the'steople chase on VontUa tor. Leich said to Daggett, Why didn't you let mo in on that? Why didn't you give me a steer on Daggett repllod, 'Didn't I tell you to como In or something of that kind. Daggett was standing with Ms back up against the window, while we were talking, and just as ho said that Worth and Flynn came along, from the direction of Myrtle avenue. Worth evidently heard it, for he stepped up between Leioh and myself and said "I didn't know but I would have a chance to get in here, looking straight at Daggett.

I Bnpposed Worth was speaking in a playful manner, and I guess the rest did too, as Lolch replied, of course yon oan come in we'll take you Worth, Just a little excitedly, said "Oh, I moan physically I would like to get in Then addressing Daggett directly, ho said 'I would like to have you in a room with mo I think I OAK LICK YOU in about two We were perfectly thunderstruck at this. We knew that Worth and Daggett were not on the best of terms, but wo did not think that anything of this kind would occur in such a publlo place and in broad daylight. Daggett kept hia temper, although Worth had assumed a threatening mannor and Bhook the foreflnger of his right hand at the ex Sheriff, and said to the Commissioner in a very cool way, 'Well, you can have me in a room, but I will choose my own time and place. Worm excitedly replied, 'Come along, Just como along with me I'm your Daggott said, 'No, this isn't my time, Mr. Worth I don't purpose to disgrace myself by any street Worth eneerlngly remarked, 'Oh, you'r a our you can't fight all you can do is to lio about Daggett was evidently not to be drawn into a row, and quietly said to Worth, 'There's no necessity of making a public exhibition of yourself, Mr.

While this was going on we all looked on in wonderment. I thought that Worth would surely hit Daggott, and he undoubtedly would have done so, had Daggett aggravated him at all. I have told you about all that was Bald betweon them. We all stood around there looking at each other and saying little, and finally the party separated. I ought to have said, perhaps, that during tho words bo twoen Worth and Daggett, Captain Leich took Collector Tanner's big cane and began toying with it.

Worth also had a cano, but made no attempt to use it. Daggett was afraid that he would, and haB since told me that if he had ho (Daggett) would have seized Tanner's cane and defended himself." ANOTHER EYE WITNESS1 ETOBT. Another party who was present gave an account about similar to what had occurred, and added "Just after the littlo affair was over and wo wore standing thoro, an Eagle reporter was seen coming over from the Hall. Either Dady or Tanner remarked, 'Here comes an Eaole reporter. Wouldn't ho like to havo this 7' Dady Bald, 'Gentlemen, this is certainly a very disgraceful affair, aud I think it bad better go no further.

Let's say nothing more about "What do you think waa the cause of this sudden outburst on Worth's part asked the reporter to day. "Well, you know well onough that the men have not boen fnendB for some time, and you can infer from tha remark of Worth that all Daggott could do was to lio about men, that Daggett must have been talking recently against Worth. I have been told that Daggott has been talking around that Worth's appointment was tho result of a 'deal' with the Democrats, and that Worth was doing his part now in giving Massoy ao much patronage and helping to have Massey mado President of the Board of City Works again." WHAT DAGGETT SAYS. The reporter Baw Mr. Daggett and asked his version of the affair.

The ex Sheriff said tnai ne was not mo party who provoked the trouble, and ho thoreforo did not think that there was any neeesBlty of his making a statement. He declined to do so. Tho reporter narrated to him the statement of tho meeting given above, and asked him whether it was correct or not. Here plied that it was, substantially, as near as he could recol lect tt. A gentleman who waa present during this interview, said it think Daggett acted right.

It would have been a fine thine for him to have got into a fight with Worth, although I have no doubt that he would have whipped him. I'll tell you what it is, Daggett has not been talking about Worth, butjtho day Is not far distant whon he will, and when he does open you may expect to near something drop." How Is that, Mr. Daggett aB ed the reporter. 'I have nothing to Bay," replied tho ox 8horlff. "I Buppose tho affair of yesterday is pretty well known about town, and I am content to let people judge as to who is to blame." KKOW NOTHING CAPTAIN LEICH.

Captain Leich was a veritablo know nothing this morning. Tho reporter asked him tor a statement oi what had occurred. "I won't say anything I don't irnn7 unvtlilncr. I didn't hear anything. I do know though that there wouldn't be any fight bb lougaBl was thoro." Valiant Captain Leich I There was a story in circu lation this morning that you had a hand in bringing thn moetin between Daggott aud Worth.

A well known Dolltiolan said Daggett and Leich are not goodf rienas, ana i wouia not be surprised if Lolch had something to do with causing the affair yesterday. I have beon told that he was seen with Worth a Bhort timo previously, and I don't like his taking up Tanner's causo. Still, there may be nothing in it." Leioh'B friends pooh pooh the idea, and say tnai ne waa no more instrumental in bringing the meoting about than tho man in the moon. WHY ABE WOBTH AND DAGGETT ENEMIES Yesterday's encounter has led to many inquiries as to tho causo of the enmity between the ex Bheriff and tho Commissioner. The reporter asked an old politician the cause.
