FINE ARTS. There are very few portrait painters either In Now York or Brooklyn, although many artists profess to inolndo this branch of their calling among their othor accomplishments. The simple reason why so many profess to paint portraits is tha fact that it brings in ready money, and indeed this braneh of art has fallen almost to what an artist would call a "pot boiling" standard. "I paint portraits because it pays, and gives me money to live upon, whtlo working up land scapes and other paintings but I do not do It from tho love of art," said a prominent painter. "If I could select my own subjects," he continued, "It would be a dlfforont matter.

I should always take a strongly marked face, full of character, and this would give me an opportunity to turn out something rosily ortistic. But what is a poor artist to do with a face that 1b absolutely flat in its round, full characterless expression Tho painting of such faces bocomos pure drudgery." ThiB is very plauBlblo, but how many artiste put true art work in a fare that possesses all ths qualities of character and originality of expression In Brooklyn thore 1b hardly an artist that dooa not profess to paint portraits, or at least make crayon drawings. Parties who order OBAYON DBAWTNGS should be very sure of their artist, for, in many instances, work that is paid a Urge price for turnB out to bo a solo print, retouched here and there by the artist, but little better than a photograph, so far as real art Is concerned. Of course, little or no drawing is required in retouching, and tho artist can turn out half a dozen pictures a week, for his work on tho solo print has al ready been mapped out for him, and if tho picture is a good likeness the credit should bo given to the sun. There ore, of course, many artists in Brooklyn who do' good, honest crayon work, but the publio should be sure that they have found an artist of this kind before thoy pay fifty and sovonty flve dollsrs for a picture that may only be an enlarged photograph.

Solo printing, however, is not confined to crayon work. It is also used by some artists in painting an oil ploture. Tho artist is aware that his knowledge of drawing will not allow him to make a likeness of his sitter in the usual manner, and he secures a photograph of his client. This photo graph is thrown upon the canvas enlarged, and over this enlarged photograph our "portrait painter" works up his ploture in oil. How muoh better is a portrait so painted than a colored photograph But the artist has the assurance to charge his sitter seventy five or one hundred dollars for his picture, Of course, no legiti mate and honest worker AMONG OUB ABTISTS, such as J.

B. Whitlsker, Professor F. T. L. Boylo, Thomas Je nsen, Mr.

Harris, Ludwig Blums, Edward Borko, and many of like standing, would even find it worth while to resort to such roundabout methods, as their knowledge of drawing places them far above such doubtful ways of reaching ths final result. If people who order portraits would only insist upon having the picture pointed from the start from the life, they would very quickly detect the honost artist from the charlatan, as the latter would simply be unable to do the work. Of course, many good artists use a photograph during the progress of their work, when the sitter finds that he cannot spare the time to give the required num ber of sittings, but, nevertheless, the best ond by for, the most artlstio pictures, are those painted entirely from the life, and a good artist will always start bis portrait from the sitter. PB0FE8S0R F. T.

L. BOYLE. This artist is now at work on a beautiful Ideal head painted on a plaque. The work put In this ploture Is up to that found In the professor's most ambitions nlc tures. That an artist, so far advanced in his profes sion, should find himself obliged to point plaques for a living, does not speak very well for the art patronago of Brooklyn.

Tho professor has an imagination and power of ooncelving grand subjects, that would astonish the Brooklyn public, it he could only ba placed In the inde pendent position that his genius should undoubtedly command. He Is a true artist, and the constitution of his mind Is of a purely poetical order. A little study of his mode recently, entitled "Inspiration," should have engaged him the attention of the publio at once, for It is in power and sentiment on a par with many of Koul boch's oom positions. Tha professor's strong point, in fact, seems to tbe composition. Hia being obliged to teach drawing from the cast and work in crayon, of Vi VI ..1..

Jt VUUin, UO0 UlgUlf DUGVb UjUU um UJBAAUg 1. times a littla hard, but this la not natural to him, and it would quickly disappear if ths publio would only place him where he belongs, and by reoognizlng his ability enable bim to live by pointing alone. ISPBOVKMEim a A BUILDINO. Within the past month extensive improvements have bean made in tha building containing the olothing establishment of A. Ketchum, at the corner of Pineapple and Fulton streets.

BECLAIBED FBOM THE WATEB8.

A persistent search after the body of Hugo Scherplch, the man drowned la Sheepsheod Boy on Sunday, rosulted in its recovery yesterday by one of the boatmen engaged for that purpose. Anderson Colweli, by whom tho body was found inside the bar, at the Inlet of the bay, aaya it was tho merest chance that tho corpse had not been carried out by the current. He accounts for its detention by the fact that the body had been diverted front the channel over the bar by on eddy. An inquest on the body developed verdict of "accidentally drowned." The body ot Scherplch has been brought this dry preparatory to the funeral, which will take place to morrow from the residence of the father of the deceased In Johnson avenue. FIRED FIVE D0LLABS.

In faot, ho said yesterday he would control 28 out of the 38 to be sent from Kings County. It is war to the knlfo with him against Daggett, and, indeed, It la war to the knife all around.

It Booms that Mary's parents, who live at No. 271 Third avenue, and are In the habit of keeping liquor in the house, were absent from their rooms this morning, and left a flask containing nearly a pint of whisky Btandlng on the table within reach of the child.

CAUGHT. Patrick GilbricJe, who Shot John Kelly at Fort Hamilton, His Capture in New Utrecht this After noon Judge Church's Shrewd More and its Result. Special to the Eagle. Tout Hamilton, August 20. Patrick Gilbrlde, who shot John Kelly, near this place, on Sunday, was arroated this afternoon in New Utrecht, by an officer of tho Fort Hamilton Police, who had beon Eont in pursuit of the fugitive by Justice Church.

After emptying tho contents of his muskot Into Kelly's neck, Gilbrlde fled, and up to the time of his capture remained in concealment. He had but little money with him at tho time of hi3 flight, and it was certain that he could not long remain under cover. The manner of his capture was highly creditable to ths authorities. John Wigley, who was arrested last night, was released this morning, and Judge Church detailed an officer to watch and follow him in tho expectation that he might meet Gillespie, with whom he is intimate. Surely enough, Wlgloy went to New Utrooht, whore ho joined Gllbrido.

The officer who was following, pounced upon Gilbrlde and took him Into cuBtody. Gllbrido was brought to the Fort and committed by Justice Church for oxamlnation on tho charge of shooting Kelly. O. ERNEST FRANK. His Body Probably Devoured by Sharks.

As yet, no trace of the body of Ernest Frank, who was drowned oil ths outer lighthouse while out blue fishing with a party pf his friends on Sunday last, has boon found. Tho many fishermen about Ca narsio, who daily go outsido for fish, are keeping constant watch, but they fear that ths body will never ba recovered. At the time ho was knocked overboard a school of blue fish had been struck, and sharks always follow theso fish. Therefore, the fisherman are all of the opinion, that after he drowned, theso man eating monsters devoured his body. If any of it was left, it was so far out at sea that the tides would carry it so far from land that it would never be recoverod.

Frank was only 24 years of age. Ho was a great favorite and had many friends. No effort will bo 6parod to recover, if possible, Ms body. A LUCKY SHOKMAKEB. Charles W.

"He was," Baid Judge McCue, "a man of singular purity of life. Ho was connected with the City of Brooklyn before its birth as a oity, and he has been identified with all Ita nublln cntflrnrism. Ho Jim been very active, not only in his profession, but ho has also had a very lively interest in everything having for its Qbject the material improvement and advancement of tho city. His estimate of tho tone of the legal profession was a very high one, and ho would never do auj lumg to lower it in the ieost degree, as a iwyer ne was denoted to tlio interests of his clients, and would do nothing that was in the least degree unprofessional or which would subject him to criticism.

Ho was a man of rare excellence in all tho relations of life, and in paying a tribute to his memory wo are doing ourselves honor. The meeting then adjourned until the 10th of Sop MR. GODARD'S CAUCUS. He Aspires to be a member of the Re publican State Committee The Session Terminated In an Acrimonious Discussion on the Aldermanic Con test. In the Eighteenth Ward there has been a deal of wire pulliug on tho part of cortain loading Re publicans of the locality, who are deeply interested in tha turn affairs may take In that locality.

Alderman Williams for one woald like a re election, and he and his brother Frank are endoavorlng to shape matters to seoure a nomination at all hazards. The Alderman has a strong antagonism from personal opponents In addition to others, who hold that two terms should satisfy any man. Then, again, Dave Lindsay would like to try his luok in the Aldermanic raoe, but of course can do little to that ena in tue subordinate position he holds, to an extent, by the good will of Alderman Williams. Mr. Charles Godard, in a modest way, has been working up a sentiment favoring his appointmont on tho State Committee.

This has beoome, measurably, a leading Isbuo in tho wara, ts none know better than Mr. Godard himself that he has enemios In his own party who would rejoice inhiE defeat for anything he might aspire. To further, it may be assumed, the prospects of Mr, Godard, a select few gathered at his house on a recent evening to "fix things," nominally for the "good of tho party in tha ward and city." One of the gentleman present Indirectly broached the subjeot in which Mr. Godard is personally concerned, tho State Committee membership, clinching his brief remarks with the statement that it would be a great advantage for the ward in particular to have a representative in so influential a body. To the proposition there was no expressed opposition, probably as a matter of courtesy.

All of those present at tho couous were not so muoh interested In Mr. Godard's affairs as In those of some others, and for that reason the subsequent proceedings were not of an entirely cordial nature. TBS ALDEBMAKIO CONTEST was brought to the surface by a query as to the candidacy of Alderman Williams. Speaking for the Alderman, his brother Frank more than intimated that George deserved and had earned the nomination for another term. With this assertion Mr.

Chris. Fagan did not coincide, aud said he would wager that George Williams would not carry his own district (the First). A representative ot the Sixth District also made a similar statement as to his locality. Frank Williams, in reply to Mr. Fagan, said he was prepared to bot any amount his brother could not only carry his dlstrlot but the ward.

In response "Kit" Fagan, as he la more generally stylod, remarked that that was all in his eye. "You may think," he said, "you can again whip in Cooper's men to support your brother under threats of their discharge, but you oan't do it this year." Tho dispute was waxing warm, too much so, In fact, to suit the conservative Mr, Godard, who thereupon mildly reminded the "boys" they should not allow their passions to get the bottor of thtnr Judgment. His suggestion that the subject be dropped Immediately was supplemented by a motion that "the oaucus adjourn not to 'meet again," at which thore was a general laugh and a movement toward tho street by tho majority of tho mooting. In the light of this caucus the assurance by sanguine Demoorats that their party will elect an Alderman this year appears probable. As to the primary to night, it haB been predicted that the opponents of Mr.

Godard will lay him on the shelf. That they will accomplish It remains to be seen. UNHAPPY PEOPLE. A Husband, Who Did Not Support His Wife, Arraigned In Court A Promise to Reform Given. The complaint of abandonment preferred by Mrs.

Annie Curtis, living at No. 822 Myrtle avenue. against her husband, Edwin P. Curtis, received con sideration this morning before Justice 8omIer, in the Sixth District Court. The defendant Is a hat finisher, employed at Pearce Hall's factory, on Stockton street, between Nostrond ond Marcy avenues.

The plaintiff is about 25 years of ago, of prepossessing appearance, and was married to Curtis on the let of July, two years ago. One child has been born to the parties. The wife's story, as told in court, reveals most unhappy domestic relations. She states that her husband earns from 20 to 23 per week, and for fourteen days bos not contributed a cent toward her support. Counselor Davis appeared for the defendant.

Whon sworn. Mrs. Curtis testified that she could earn $4 per week, but that was not sufficient to pay tho rent Ths defendant was in the habit of drinking, and had repeatedly said that he liked a dog better than his wife, The defendant had frequently passed the house ot witness in the company of a strango woman. y. Did your husband ever make any remark to vou about this woman A.

He said that he had another woman who loved him better than I did. Witness then continued My husband said also that if we could not live too other Dcaceablv we had batter separate ond he would get some other girl to live with him; Mr. Curtis come to my house last night and CALLED MB VTLB NAMES he did not give me any money; he told mo that he hated and desplBed me. ij. wnai aia you ssy 7 A.

Counsel here mado soma further remarks as to th very mild temper of the witness, as she at first refused answer the auesjlon. Judge Semler said he thought the witness was of a varr sweat famner. indeed, anif had dona her heat tn an swer the questions.

This conoludod the examination of the witness, and little girl was placed on the stand who corroborated tha above testimony. The defendant denied in toto anv association with a woman other than his wife, and emphatically denied that he hod abused tho partner of bis choice. Judge Semler, after llatenhur to all the evidence, it tempted to pour oil on the troubled waters. He was sure the husband did not cherish any ill feeling toward bis wife, and dismissed the complaint against him on his promising to reform his ways. THE WALLACE.

The Board of Health Befosea to Allow Her to Come to Brooklyn. When the bark Wallace was lying at the foot North Twelfth street it will be remembered that her stewardess, Margaret Oregon, become sick with the yellow fever ond died of that discus in the Presbyterian Hospital in New York. Ths Wallace had come here from Havana, and hod had yellow fever on. board during her trip. Although she was subjected to a most careful and thorough cleansing at Quarantine, yet, as sequel showed, the contagion was by no means Killed; all that had been dono in the shape of fumiga tion and disinfection had proved futile to eradicate the contagion, as the death of Mrs.

Oregon proved. Btill later was another very sad result from this same fact, that of the death of tho young man, Frederick P. King, Closson avenue, who was compelled to visit the ves two or three times on business, be being engaged tn I Pratt's Astral Oil Works as a clerk. The vessel, before last fatal case, had been peremptorily ordered back Quarantine, whore she has remained since, and has again been subjected to a cleaning and disinfecting process more thorough than before. Yesterday hor owners requested permission for her to come up to Pratt's dock, of North Twelfth street, to rocolve her cargo of oil, urging that sho was now thoroughly clean.

The Board Health at once refused absolutely to oUow her to come to this oitr. upon any conditions. to to by its Attempt to Change Testimony Whioh was Fatal to a Will. A Suspected Paaormo Murderer Admitted to Ball on a Charrre of Pocketplcklnir. Adjournment of the City Court Out of Bespeet to the Memory of Old and Eminent Lawyer, When John H.

Martinhoff died at Jay ond vuuuoru streets ne loit a will devising some $75,000. His eldest son, Jamos E. Martinhoff, was practically disinherited, because, as alleged, be hod married an accomplished and amiable Protestant lady. He contested the will, and George O. Harward, tho surviving witness, swore that the witnesses signed before the testator.

Counsel for the corSSstant arguod in summing ud that the fact sworn to by Mr. Harward was fatal to the will. Mr. H. 0.

Place, after ths case was olosed, got on maer to show cause why Mr. Harward should not bs allowed to amend his testimony by swearing that what ho swore to before was a mistako, and that tha testator signed the will bef oro tho witnesses did. Argument was heard on the motion this morning before Surrogata Doiley. Mr. Place put In an affidavit from Mr.

Harward stating that, if ho testified as tho stenographer's minutes showed, he mods a mistake and that the fact was that tho witnesses Blgnod after itho testator, Mr, Place's affidavit states that he did not understand Mr. Harward to swear that ths witnesses signed first. The affidavits of Mr. CoBtello, the stenographer of ths con testant, his lawyers, and an Elole reporter, stated that tho testimony was given as taken by the sten ographer, Mr. Georgo P.

Avery, who, with Mr. Hockstaedter, appeared for the contestant, said that ho knew of only one caso like the present, and then it was sent by tha court to the Grand Jury. When counsel first came into the cose ono of the parties on the other side came across tho room to striko the contestant. Afterword one of tho wituosses was attacked, aud threats had beon ut tered toishoot down the counsel. When you put a finger on sound flesh a man didn't jump, but touch a boll and ho did.

Surrogate Dalley called for tho stenographer's notes. Ho sold that by shifting a period the notes would read different. Tho Surrogate further argued that there was evidontly a mistake, as, after testifying that the witnCBS signed first, Mr. Harward went on to swear that he read the will to the testator and ha signed, and that then the witness read over the attestation clause. Tho Surrogate thought that showed that tho will was execu ted all right.

Decision was Admitted to Bail. William Kiugaley, who was suspected as being one of tho Panormo murderers, was recently arrested on the complaint of one Alexander on a charge of having picked his pockot on tho cars.

In consequence of the funeral of the late Judge John Dikeman, which takes place this aftornoon, Judge Alexander McCuo adjourned tho Special Term of the City Court at noon ttvday. THE GOVEBNORSHIP. The movement for General Slocuni. What the Eiocal Leaders aro Doing; Without Knowing It, From the Oswego Palladium. Mr.

Hugh Hastings, of the Neto York Commercial Advertiser, ono of tho most experienced and astute politicians in tho State, still predicts ths nomination of Goneral Slocum for Governor by the Democrats. Tho Palladium some time since suggested that among tho many excellent candidates named none would be mora likely to unite the Democracy or to bo olected by a rousing majority than that same Gonoral Siocum. We still adhoro to our belief, although we oannot say that wo are sanguine about his nomination. Mr. Hastings writing from Saratoga gives what he calls the details of a movoment to bring General Slocum forward.

Hs says Tho latest arrival here is Mr. Thomas Kinsella. the astute editor of the Bbooklyn Eaqlz. It is expeotod that Mr. Klnsolla comes here to foci of the Democratic pulse and see what can be done for Kings County.

The Democratic statesmen of Brooklj'n oro among the most sagacious and far seeing in the party. Of late they have boen showing a kindly disposition for Church, and tho Eaole only a short time ago had a pleasant interview with the Chief Justfco, placing him in a poBltlon to mako him an acceptable candidate to tho Democraoy of the State. Church has been moro or less a favorite with tho Brooklyn Damoaracy tor several years post. Tho Brooklyn delegation and ths Brooklyn politicians wiil hold the balance of power in tho Stats Convention. Mr.

Kinsella understands this, and is hore to Bee what is the best to be dono for Brooklyn. There are intimations thrown out here by a gentleman who is supposed to bo in the soorets of the Brooklyn Blng, that General Slocum may bo brought forward as a caudidate for Governor. Others say this cannot be, as the General a few years ago bolted tho Ring, and refused to support the ticket. This Is true; but my reoollootlon Is that the Gonoral mado his peaco long ago with Kinsella, McLaughlin, Kingsloy, Fowler Co. The movoment in favor of General Slocum Is not confined olono to Brooklyn.

In conversation with a Syracuse Democrat, I learned that General James Mc Quado waa quietly at work in favor of Slocum's nomination, and that Mr. McQuado was mentioned as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor with General Blooum. All this may bo nothing less than the idle talk of some of tho old soldiers of tho Grand Army of tho Republic. It is said that Slocum and McQuade'a visit to EUniro somo time since had something to do with tho movo mont. "On one thing you can count certain the Brooklyn delegation will be the pivotal point in the convention.

Thoy can name the candidate for Governor. They hold tho destiny of tho Democratio party of the State la tholr Whether thoro is anything in this reported movement or not one thing is certain, and that Is that General Slocum has no knowledge of It. In a conversation with the General at Pulaski on Wednesday ho sold to tha writer of this that he had bean away from home some time; that ho saw in tho newspapers mention mado of his name in connection with the Democratic Lornioation for Governor, but that that was all ho knew about It. Ha had had no conversation with any one on the subject and did not seek tho nomination. "At the same tune." said General Slocum, "the office of Governor of the State of New York Is, next to that of President of the United States, the best gift at the disposal of the American people, and if thoy should give it to ma I should accept it with profound thanks.

But," added the General, as he swung himself lazily In the hammock In which ho was lying, I confess I have not ollowod myself to think seriously on the subjeot, being some way impressed that I shall not ba called upon to assume the duties of the chief magistracy of Now York." General was present at this conversation, insisted that General Slocum's nomination would swoop the State of New York clean and insure a Democratic victory. General Slocum sold he had heard McQuado say tha same thing of a doxen othor men within a week and to each of tham. However earnest General Slocum's friends may be for his nomlnstlon, ot one thing there is no doubt, and that is that he himself has not the gubernatorial boa la his bonnet. REPUBLICAN WABD HEETISG.

The Mystery of the Judicial Sales' Bill. Daggett Says he did not Promise to Divide the Profits with Worth A Tale from the Bepublican Executive CommitteeUncle Joe Beeve Posted as a Liar. How he Tried to "Fix Things" Between Hazzard and Worth, and how the Hon orable Jacob Is Made Out to be a Traitor to his Party and his Friends The True Inwardness of a Tery Pretty Fight Between Republican Leaders Bumored Withdrawal of Daggett from the Fight for the State Committee. The report published in the Eaole of last evonlng, of the Interview between a reporter of this paper and Commissioner Jacob Worth, respecting the causes of the troublo between Mr. Worth and ex Sheriff Daggett, was read with threat Interest by the politicians about the Hall generally, and very freely commented upon.

The two men have been personal and political onemies for some time past. Many of tho gossips have it that tho trouble originated last year, from the failure of Daggett to properly support Worth in tho Shrievalty contest but tho politicians on the inside know that ths origin dates much farther back than that. It was expected that Daggett would, of course, roply to Worth's Btatements, and with the view of ascertaining what he had to say, tho reporter called upon the ex Sberiif at his office, over the Commercial Bank, Fulton street. Mr. Daggett said he had read the report of the interview, and was ready to reply.

The reporter and his victim retired to an Inner office, where the following oolloquy took place DAGGETT BEPLDX8 TO WOBTH. Commissioner Worth," said the reporter, "in explaining the causes of his antagonism to you, charges that you are an ingrate. What have you to say in reply to that "That is unqualifiedly false," responded the ex Sheriff, warmly. "He and his friends opposed my election as Sheriff. He sulked from tho time I beat him in the convention until election day, and did not even vote ho told mo himself he did not vote.

Tho only thing that Mr. Worth ever did In the world for me was to introduce tho Forclosure bill In the House, where it passed, of course, as everybody knows, there being but 6 votes against it. He assumed from tho day It passed the House that In consequence of Robertson's opposition, It would nover get through the Senate." What does he mean then by saying that he rondercd you sorvicejln the Legislature, and you expected cervices from him in return I don't know what ho means unless It is that upon the assumption that he helped mo, he oxpocted I would help him to bo Sheriff. The first acquaintance I had with Mr. Worth was the year in which General Catlin beat him In tho convention for the nomination for Assembly from tho old Sixth Assembly District (Sixteenth and Nineteenth wards).

The delegates balloted several days and nights, and finally the Sixteenth Ward delegation went over to the Nineteenth, and Catlin was nominated. Eaoh ward at that time had five delogates. On the morning of tho eleotion there wasn't a Catlin ticket in the Sixteenth Ward. They had been destroyed in George Giehl'o saloon, and it was a matter of publio notoriety I can't say that it was by Worth's order tho tickets woro destroyed it was a mat tor of public notoriety that it was by Worth's order, and that Worth and his frionds supported the Democratic candidate, Haver, I think, who boat Catlin badly. Tho feud occasioned by that occurrence, was kept up for a year or two, when things changed around in such a way that we finally got to supporting Worth for Assembly, and from that time up to and including the last time he ran whon he was elected I ALWAYS BUPPOBTED HIM, furnished all tho monoy to run his campaigns in the Nineteenth Ward, paid his printing bills, in fact, did everything I could do to elect him.

I nover opposed him in anything except whon I opposed him for tho nomination for Sheriff for myself, and last year whon I supported Colonel Stegman. The question about my having failed to support, him last yoar for election has already beon tried in tho Gonoral Committee and been abandoned by his friends. Thoy failod to prove their chargos and withdrew them. That ought to dispose of the matter. That fight can't bo kopt up forever.

I have beon tried and acquitted." "Worth also attributes your opposition to him to envy," remarked the reporter. "That's good said Daggett, laughing heartily. "Envious of what? Certainly I can't bo envious beoauso ho ran for an office I was eleoted to and was defeated. That couldn't make me envious of him, could it? Certainly ought not to be envious, having been eleoted Sheriff with only one candidate against me, while he was defeated with three Democrats running for the office against hima Republican." And Daggett again laughed at the thought. 'What do you think of the prospoota of the primaries and tho conventions, as Worth pictures thorn?" asked the reporter.

"I see by your interview with him that he says he will have twenty eight out of tho thirty eight delegates to the State Convention. Well, it will be a sorry day for the Republican party of Kings County when Joke Worth can control twenty eight out of thirty eight dole to a Bepublican convention. There nevor has been a time since I hare Bred in Brooklyn when he could oontrol any. He has the patronago of the Board City Works, and of course, he expeots, by promising place to every man in Brooklyn who wants a place, to Beoure delegates enough In my Congressional District beat me as a member of the State Central Committee. tho men who have been promised plaoeseould be got together the Republicans I mean who have been promised places by Worth there ien't a hall in Brooklyn big enough to hold them." He says that you will have only the votes from your own ward.

How do you calculate?" "Of course I won't be appointed a member of the State Central Committee if I have only the votes from my own ward. I didn't know that ho allowed me even those. He has tried thoro In every way to get up an opposition that will be fatal, but I guess he has given it up as a hopeless job. I see no reason to change my belief that I am going to be elected." THE JUDICIAL BALES' BILL. Is it true that one cause of the trouble bctwoen you and Worth arose in connection with the Judicial Sales' Bill?" "I don't want to nay anything about that Judicial SaleB' Bill, or about ingratitude in connection with it, because his remark Implies some pledge on my part to carry out some agreement, and would appoar to a disinterested person to mean that there had been some difficulty between Mr, Worth and myself about money matters." Is It a fact that you have had suoh a difficulty Inquired the reporter.

"Mr. Worth has publicly stated that I promised him large amount of money If that bill became a law, in the shape of a division of the profits. That is not true. havo never gone out of my way to deny what he has publicly stated. If he could afford to take the position that ho had beon cheated while a member of the Legislature by me, I could afford to say nothing about it, Tho proof that no difficulty between Mr.

Worth end myself coulu. have grown out of the ForoolOBure (Judicial Sales) bill Is the fact that in the campaign of 1876 Worth Bent for mo. He was tick in his house and I went there at his request. He told me he was going to have a hard time in (he Assembly fight, and wanted me assist him. I asked him what he wanted, and he said he didn't have much money and he wanted me to look out for the Nineteenth Ward.

He wanted two or three hundred dollars. I gave him live hundred, and spent twice that amount probably in the Nineteenth Ward, In his canvass." "What have yon to say in reference to Mr. Worth's statements as to what occurred at a recent meeting of the Republican Executive Committee "In the first place, 4he business of the Executive Committee Is supposed to be secret. It certainly ought not to be divulged; but when whet does take place In it misstated by a man In so prominent a position as Mr. Worth, it seems to me no more than fair to say precisely what did take place." THE TALK THAT JOE BEEVE TOLD.

"Mr. Beeve," continued the ex Sheriff, "came before the Executive Committee and stated that he was able to say that If Commissioner Hazzard would join with Commissioner Worth, that Worth would turn out every Democrat In the Department of City Works, and put Republicans in their places; but, he said, Mr, Hazzard was the stumbling block; that Mr. Hazzard had sold he (Hazzard) was determined to do two things First, to remove all the Independent Democrats; and second, to divide the patronage equally with the Democrats, as he felt under obligations for having been first named by Mayor Howell for the position of Commissioner. Mr. Bseve make a long speech, In which he sold that this serious difficulty between Republicans in the Board of City Works had resulted In the appointment to a prominent position of a man who had been Indicted, tried and convicted of ballot box stuffing.

He wound tip by asking for the appointment of a committee to wait upon Worth and Haizard and If possible see if they could not brought together. After Mr. Beeve had finished, I up and said, first, that as I was about to take part tho debate it was no more than fair for me to say at start that Mr. Worth and I were not friends and the members of the Executive Committee had a right to regard what I said as prejudieedlf I failed to produce any evidence of ths truth of ths statements I should moke. said I had had a conversation with Mr.

Hazzard myself, and that he took an entirely different ground from stated by Mr. Beeve, Mr. Beeve having sold that Hazzard was tho stumbling block and that Mr. Worth compelled to go In with Mr. Massey or not get any patronage at all.

I sold I proposed to judge Mr. Worth his acts and not by his promises or statements to Beeve. I took Mr. Reeve up on his statements of what had happened In bis own ward, and I asked him he could suggest to me any possible exouse looking toward faithfulness to the Bepublican party on the part Mr. Worth, after the appointment by his vote of a ballot box stuffer In the place of an independent Democrat In the Department ot City Works.

Mr. Beeve sold Hazzard voted for it, and I denied it, and appealed the record of the Board of City Works for the proof the appointment was made by Worth and Massey, Hazzard dissenting. I sold that on the day of the last regular meeting of the Board of Aldermen It had been notorious that Mr. Worth, Mr, Massey, Mr. Bub McLaughlin and Mr.

Shevlis were together endeavoring to secure another vote to prevent the confirmation of soma In Massey 's place that they were in consultation tho Board of City Works, and endeavored in every to secure another vote, even going so far Worth as to try to get ALDEEMAN WATERS LOOKED TJP IK TOBMEX'S BOOM, that he would not be In time to vote. I said Alderman Waters was my authority for that statement I not propose to make any statement, the truth of which could not prove I said also that Alderman Dreyer authority not to me but to members of the committee who wore present and who could say whether it so or not for the statement that Worth had tried to Induce him to vote to confirm Massey, and failing In at J. to on put was of by but As jail case a and The Corpse of an Aged Negreaj Poisoning the Air of a Neighborhood.

Search wo mode for the cause In the (tore and on th loft above where the odor was found more nauseous even thon below, and whon a dead rat was discovered undet th flooring and wo removed tt waa thought that tho stench would ceas. Instead, It Increased, and yesterday spread to adjoining house.

A thorough exploration of tho house was again mado, and it wu now noticed that the door leading to a small room in on out of tho way corner of tho second floor waa cloaed and bolted from tho Inside. No answer camo to repeated knocking, but from tho keyhole and crick of tho door streamed forth a slckoning odor of corruption. Bomebody now rcmombcred that an old colored rook who came to live in the room a month ago had not boon Been since Wednesday evening of hut week, whon locked herself in at bodtimo. It waa known that hor name was Hannah Dunkins that she went out cooking and that she was apparently rjlcndlcss. No ono had missed her and no ono had asked for hor.

Tho police woro hurriedly summoned, and Officer Edwards and Boylan responded. Tho door was broken open, and with tho ovcrwhclmlnii stench that poured forth came tho solution of tho FIVE DAYS1 MV'STEBV. A five by seven, low celled room, containing tu iron bedstead, an old table and upon the floor that was cov ered with strips of old carpet, a half ctnpted whlnky flask Its only window looked out upon tho outhousos below and by it in a rocking chair sat or lay tho dead body of on old negress, moro than half undressed, on hand in her lap and tho other grouping the window saah, aa if sho bod died while making an offort to open tho window. Tho Ixxl clothes thrown topsy turvy showed that had arisen In the darkness and dragged herself to tho ohalr. Tho old woman's head had fallen against the wall, and her body was Bwollon to twice it natural aize.

That death had coino many days ago was evident from the advanced stag of dooouipoaltlon of the body, that compelled tho policemen to beat a hasty retreat. Half a dor.en pounds of chlorid of lluio nd a quantity of carbolic acid wore thrown upon tho floor and walla before entrance was pos alblo. Then tho room was examined, but nothing was found to solve tho mystery of tho woman's death save perhaps the half filled whisky flask. But It wo noticed that the hue of her skin had changed from black to a dirty yellow, aud whon It was whispered thai Hannah Duukins had come from tho South and had associates in tho North and Bho had lived her with olhor negroes who had roccntiy arrived from whore, wan not known, but rumor soon settled it in llemphU a Btory that YELLOW FEVER had craved her for a victim ran from mouth to mouth, and spread terror and dismsy everywhere. Advised of this rumor, the Twontietb Precinct Police telegraphed for tha Health Board, afraid to let (ha body bo brought to tlio Morgue under tha circumstance, and through tho night kept up a nlrict quarantine of the home.

This morning an inspector arrived, and after a critical examination oi the body, that yot remained in tho position in which it was found, expressed tho oplulon that death had NOT OCCURRED FtlOK VELLOW FEVElt. The precise cause only a thorough mortem main inatlon can show, and this will bo made undtr the supervision of the Health officer. Coroner Flanagan waa advised of tho circumstances to day, and will take official action.

AlVMli D. L. KOBTauT, Secretary au DJ, was disloyal to the Bepublican party thou hie promise to work with Mr. Hazzard went to prove that he was al thiol to It. Well, what has been the result I But let me ssy before passing from what took place at that meeting of the committee, that I likowiso Bald I hoped what Mr.

Beeve had said was true. I had no doubt he believed It was true, and that if I had been doing Mr. Worth an lnjnstdce by charging him with disloyalty to tho party, I would be the first Iran to own up, and everybody In the committee sold, That's so; that's one thing about you, you will be tho first to own (aid, 'yes, I'll go out In the street and throw up my hat for Joke Worth if It's true, and I'll be the first man to do him justice if I havo done him an injustice by saying he Is not loyal to the Weil, what has been the result A oommlttee was appointed and, I am told, they made an appointment for Mr. Worth and Mr. Hazzard to meet them.

Mr. Worth did not go. I saw Mr. Hazzard and asked him whether be had ever said that he was In favor of turning out all the independent Democrats in the department, and giving half the patronage to Mr, Massey, and lie said no or to use hlB own language, 'The man who made that statemont lledt'" "That Is pretty rough on Beeve, isn't?" said the re porter. "Yes but he has got to take It," replied Mr.

Daggett, firmly. "But Worth asserts," continued ths reporter, "that yoa said he had removed a man from the Department of City Works, who put np more money than any other man in the Interest of tho Shannon deal." "Did he say that Inquired Daggett quickly. "If he did not say It, It would not have appeared In the report of the interview," replied the reporter. "well, I don't want to say anything about that," rejoined Daggett, "oxcept that I did not think Worth would talk out that way now." HOW WOBTH AND JOTJEDAN STAND. "How do Worth and Jourdan stand asked the re porter.

"The Commissioner says he has nothing against Jourdan." "I don't know anything about the relations between thorn. I presume they are friendly. Certainly Worth is under groat obligations to General Jourdan for his nomination for Sheriff, and the General was in favor of him at tho timo I got the nomination. It would soem to me that the weight of obligation is all on Worth, and Worth ought to be Jourdan's friend. But I don't be lieve he is.

You may put that down." "The Commissioner says ha la going to send you bock to Troy whoro you came from. Are you going to bo sent?" "I was born and brought up in Troy, and left there in 186. I have lived In Brooklyn Blnce 1869. I moved to Brooklyn with the intention of spending the rest of my life here. I don't think Mr.

Worth will ever send me back to Troy but If he should, I am fortunate enough to own several houses there, desirable ones to live in. It wouldn't bo a vory hard lot to go thoro. I don't expect to go thoro, however, until I am carried thore. I presume I will be burled in Troy when I die, as my father and other members of my family are burled there, but I don't believe that I shall bo burled here or there, politically, by Mr. Worth, or any of his frionds." THE PBOSPECTS FOB THE PBIMABIES.

"What do you wish to say aa to the result of to night's primaries asked the reporter, bringing the interview to a close. "Well, Worth claims twenty eight out of the thirty eight votes in tho State Convention. I have no doubt that marked copies of the Eaole containing his statements yesterday have already been sent to parties interested in the results of the convention. I notice that Worth fs particular not to say whoso twenty eight delegates he will have, or for what candidate for Governor they will vote. I might with equal propriety say that I expect to oontrol the thirty eight delegatea If I could possibly guess who those thirty eight delegates would support for Governor.

I don't Believe Mr. Worth can control five delegates to the State convention. I don't believe that the kind of men who can ba con trolled will be sent to the convention. UnloBB I am lied to and cheated, the result of tho primaries to night will show that a man can't sell out his party to the Democrats and be triumphant in tho primaries. The general Impression Is, I think, that Worth has done so.

If that improsBlon is as general as I bollevo It to be, there con be but one result to night. The only opposition to me aside from that of Worth, that I hoar of, is opposition caused by a belief that a mistako was made in changing the Senatorial apportionment of Kings County. Of course, if the Fourth Senatorial District should bo carried by the Demoorats in the Fall, my opposition will be a bad one. I believed then, and I believe now, that the Fourth Senatorial District is a good Republican district, and can bo carried by a good man." The interview then terminated, and as the reporter passod out he saw a large crowd waiting in the outer office for an opportunity to talk witb the ex Sheriff moBt of them about the primaries. Sam MoLean and Wm.

Leaycraft, tho well known Bepublican politician of the Thirteenth Ward, were prominent In the throng. BUMOBED WITHDBAWAL OF DAGGETT. To day it was stated, on very good authority. that mutual friends of Daggett and Worth had been to Daggett, and told him that their bread and butter depended In stopping the fight be tween him and Worth. Mr.

Daggett gave consideration to these statements. While he was confident that he could win; that ho had votes enough to insure his return to the State Committee, he did not care enough for it to be the cause of the official dooapltatioa of his personal and political friends, whose heads are at Mr. Worth's mercy. On the other band, others of Daggett's friends advised him to go ahead in his feud with Worth, as the latter would drive Daggett's frionds out of office, whatever ha might do by way of retiring from the con test. fcater Daggett Withdraws.

At threeo'clook this afternoon Mr. Daggett's representatives authorized tha Eaole to state that he was out of tha contest for the State Committee. THE NATIONAL GUARD. Events Occurring in Local military Circlet). So much of Part Oeneral Orders No.

4, Issued from the Eleventh Brigade Headquarters as designated Thursday, Heptember 18, as a day for class practice at Creodmoor, has been countermanded, in con Boquence of the Fall meeting of the National Bifla Asso ciation oocurrlng on that date. Commandants of or ganizations, at their own discretion, may permit such members of their commands as may desire to complete tholr class practice and qualify as marksmen, to proceed to Creedmoor under proper officers, on Friday, Septem ber 26, and Thursday, October 3, the latter day having been assigned sb an extra day by the General Inspeotor of Rifle Practice. Lost night was one of tho dullest that haB been known at military headquarters for soma time. Few military men put in an appearance, and beyond the signing of papers very little business was transacted. Brigadier General MoUneux has oompleted the list of men who are to serve In the signal service oorps, their names having already been published in tho Eaole.

General Mollneux's views on a signal oorps, in whioh he expressed himself as thinking that it was a necessa ry and efficient branch ot the service, have also been published in the Eaole. It is probable that before long an exhibition of tho uso of the signals will be given Prospect Park. On Thursday evening of this week the veterans of the Twenty third Regiment will dine at Fort Lee, on the Hudson. A steamer will leave Jewell's wharf at half past five o'clock, and the veterans will return the some evening. The affair promises to be one of Inter est, and it will doubtless be the means of uniting per sons who probably have not seen one another for a considerable period of time.

The field day of the Eleventh Brigade will be In the early part of October. No successor to ox Captain Doyle, of Company Fourteenth Begiment, has yet been eleoted. Mr. a. N.

Dick Is regarded as the most prominent candidate for the place. It is said that Colonel Porter, of the Twenty second Regiment, who resigned about a week ago, has refused to reconsider his resignation. His reason Is supposed to be a weariness of military duty. The officers, non commissioned officers and privates of Separate Troop Captain Mohrznann commanding, excepting those who have qualified as marksmen, are ordered to assemble at Creedmoor on Friday of this week. No new steps have been taken regarding the proposed new armory for the Forty seventh and Thirty second regiments.

The one hundred thousand dollars appropriated by the State for ths building Is on hand, and tho Supervisors ore the persons now called upon to ful fill their part in pushing forward the work. The Mili tary Committee has not yet made Its report, and the members of the interested regiments are looking with interest for any new step that may be token. The action taken by the veterans ot the Fourteenth Begiment at their meeting held last week, in connection with the proposed trip to Philadelphia, is generally regarded with favor by the active members of the regiment. Captain Peter Bertsoh, of Separate Troop who was recently oourtmartloled, has been found guilty on the third charge and specification, "Conduct prejudlolal to good order and military discipline." The captain has been ordered to be privately reprimanded, the proceedings of the court having been approved at Albany. PCMSUE'J.

The Man Who Threatened to Kill the Mate of the Columbia. On Sunday, August 8, Dennis Rohan, who resides on Hicks street, went down to Jewell's Dock for tho purpose of going on board the Columbia, on her Bockaway trip. He was under the Influence of liquor, and mado such a disturbance that the mate Mr.WiUiam Kennedy, put him off the boat. He then attempted ollmb up on the side of the vessel, and was forced back to ths dock by some of tha deck hands. Finally he succeeded in passing in on the gang plonk when the mate was not looking, and on again being ejected he dragged the mate upon the dock and assaulted him.

Even after this he succeeded tn getting aboard again and escaped detection. When the Columbia hod started and was in Buttermilk Channel, Rohan sought out the mate and DBAWTNO A KNIFE him threatened to kill him. Rohan was seoured and in the hold of the vessel, and upon her return trip handed over to the poUce ot this city on a charge, attempted felonious assault being made against him ths mate. It turns out that the attempt witb the knife was committed out of tha Jurisdiction ot the oity within that of the United States, so that the case would have to go before the United States' Grand Jury. they do not meet until January next, and as Bohsn would not be tried until April, he would have to lie in all that time, he being unable to prooare ball.

Consequently a plan was agreed upon by Justice Walsh and United States Dlstrlot Attorney Tenney this which tho charge of attempted felonious assault was quashed, and Bohaa was sentenced to five months' imprisonment in tho Penitentiary for the assault committed on Jewell's Dock. The aggravated nature of the assault and the other oircumstances sorronndlng the causing his Honor to impose so severe a sentence. BOBBEBY AT BOCKAWAY. On Sunday morning when John Fitzgerald, waiter in a Bockaway hotel, arose to dress himself, he found that his room had been entered during the night, his watch and $19 stolen. A to a of the of sel this to foot ef A lively time ia anticipated at tho Thirteenth Word primary this evening between the friends of Worth and Daggett, If street rumors are to bo credited.

A breach wis imminent In ths ranks of ths regulars, but Alderman Bay and bis friends, representing the Daggett interest, knowing how fruitless it would be to present a ticket at tho primary, consented at a socallod caucus to swallow Worth with tha best grace possible. A tloket was made up in tho interest of Mr. William H. Leaycraft, the ward magnate, who is an outspoken friend of Worth, ond the delegates were instructed to name that gentlemen and his henchman, Mr. Henry Meeker, In the Assembly Convention, as tho word's rop resentativea at the State Convention.

The dose was a bitter on for Bay, but to onter tha primary and hari his weakness mode apparent to all Brooklyn would havo been suicidal. BAT'a DOUBLE It now appears that Bay is going to do a Uttta double dealing even with the friends who made him. Yestcr day his spokesman, Dockmoster William II. Cnrtlsn, expressed his dissatisfaction st ths result of the cau'eus, ond announced his Intention of running an opposition ticket at tho primary. As Mr.

CurHss' name Is on tho cauous ticket, he can have no personal grievance. The fact Is Bay's friends ore being marsbalod under tho lead of Curtis for the contest, while tha wily Alderman assures Leaycraft that thero la nothing in his henchman's threat. It is not probable that Bay's apparent double dealing will throw Leaycraft off his guard. During a conversation to day with a prominent Bepublican of the ward, opposed to the machine as renre sented by both Leaycraft and Bay, ho stated that he would support Worth every time In preference to Dag gett. Ths caucus ticket is as follows Delogatos to Assem bly Convention H.
