The Commissioners of Charities met in Committee of the Whole this morning to roviBo their payroll.

THE ELECTION DISTBIOTS. Tha Commissioners of Elections have adopted the election districts as established lest Fall, with tho exception of some slight ohanges In the boundaries of the districts In the Eighteenth Ward. The boundaries of the districts have been published in the Eagle, and will be advertised again for several weeks prior to tho election. WOBTH, DAGGETT AND DHjIjON. Commissioner Worth stated, during an Interview with an Eaole reporter recently, that Dsggett had sold that he (Worth) had discharged from the Board of City Works a man who had put up more money than any other man In the Interest of the Shannon combination.

He named Dillon as the party to whom Dsggett referred, meaning James Dillon, late General Inspector of Streets. Mr. Dillon said this morning that the statement that he had put up any money or had anything whatever to do with the Shannon combination was false. He knew nothing about It, and Mr, Daggett had no right to make any auoh remark. He averred that he had no more than a passing acquaintance with the ex Sheriff, and had nevor spoken to him on tho subject.

MISSING TREASURE. How a Young Scamp lied a New Vork Policeman a Wild Goose Chase. On Friday last Jeremiah O'Brien, an errand boy In the employ of B. Ilifeldor etationors in John street, New York, was Intrusted with $80 in money to pay a number of small accounts. He disappeared and was arrested on Saturday by Policeman Hogan, of the New street Station.

O'Brien lives in Brooklyn, and begged Officer Hogan to bring him here on his arrest and he would show him whore the money had beon secreted. The officer accompanied the boy to the outskirts of the city, who then led the way to an open lot, where he intimated the money was buried. The assistance of several laborers was procured and a hole dug, but without finding tho treasure. Several other lots In the vicinity were explored with a Uke result, when O'Brien suddenly remembered that he had hid tho $80 in his room. It was afterward found thero by tho officer.

O'Brien was held in tho Tombs yesterday. The case was not reported to the Brooklyn police at all, and they took no part in the search for the missing treasure. 4 PEBILS OF THE STREET. While passing under the elevated railroad at Thirty fourth street and Third avenno, Now York, this morning, Christophor Shandloy, aged 55 years, of No. 170 East One Hundred and Twenty seventh Btroet, was struck by a falling piece of Iron and injurod about the head.

His wound was dressed at the Thirty fifth street Station House. side with hard pointed pencil, and had left the creosos in the paper: Adocst, 6 (or 18). Any drift on mo tor $39.25 at three days I will see paid for Wm. B. H.

Andrews. John J. Seamah. The modus operandi waa surmised to be this The above draft bad been written upon tho llttlo slip of paper, In lead pencil, end aigned with Mr. Seaman's name by him.

It was evidently a genuine signature. Being written In lead pencil the marks were deeply indented In the paper, and showed through upon tho reverse side. Then some one had rubbed out all tho writing but Mr. Seaman's signature, and had written instead, with Ink, the note for $439.60. Another bit of paper, in the amo handwriting, slgnod with Mr.

Seaman's namo and purporting to be an acknowledgment by him to bo responsible for certain taxes and insurance), was also shown in the case. Mr. Marean claims that tho note and the claim are forgeries, made up in tho manner above indicated. The referee has disallowed the claim sot up by the note as worthless. THEATRICAL.

Brilliant Prospects for the Season in Brooklyn. What the Managers are Doing for their Patrons Smart Rivalry and Tublic Gain The Befitting and Reopening' of the Brooklyn Park What Colouel Sinn has Provided for the Fall and Winter. A Brilliant Programme. An occasional damp, chilly day reminds us even as early as the end of August that In our latitude Summer may be fierce for a whilo without being perennial, and that tho shortening days are speedily taking us to that season when outdoor amusements will be limited to Blelghing and Bkatlng, whilo the seasldo hotels will havo closod and tho theatres opened. But botween the two seasons whioh are olalined exclusively by Coney Island, Bockaway and the country on tho one hand, and the concert hall, theatre and lecturo room on the other, thero is fair debatable ground, which begins with September and hardly terminates until tho sun slnkB lower at noon than it will for three or four weeks to como.

During the interval before tho watering places surrender and tho theatres claim the supremo control of popular entertainment, both subsist pretty comfortably. The theatre docs not prosper much In the metropolis during Summer. The temperaturo during July and AugUBt Is far too high to warrant indoor confinement, oven were there no Coney Island lo go to. Consequently, It has becomo the rule among theatrical managers to close with the Spring time, and let the first day of June find their houses deserted. Ist season was a fairly prosperous one for Brooklyn managers.

We had nearly all the stars on tho Amorican stage at the Brooklyn Park opera and occasional dramatic performances and any number of concerts at the Academy of Music, and tho sevorol variety theatreB in the city were constantly full. During tho season that Is coming we shall probably be treated to the moat brilliant dramatic and muBlcol events In tho history of tho city. Public interest in things dramatic has been reawakened; tho new and beautiful Brooklyn Theatre, he handsomest, completeBt and best planned, probably, in tho United States, will be openod. Colonel Sinn will have such a series of combinations as even his industry and forothought have not before presented in rotation the Academy will welcome Maploaon's Opera Company every Thursday night, snd greet his artists, probably once a week In concert also, whilo a large number of concerts of all kinds, including those dellghlf ul affairs by the Philharmonic Society, will keop our largest play house constantly open. The pretty llttlo Court Square Theatre, which, undor anew and vigorous management, haB re establlBhed itself in public favor, will be devotod to light vaudeviuVand comedy.

The prospect before Brooklyn people, tlioreforo, Is brighter than It ovor waa. We shall bo quite metropolitan this year, with so muoh home amusoment, and will see all that there is to see In tho amusement Hue without crossing tho forry. Nor must the Novelty Theatre in tho Eastern District be forgotten. It made a handsome record last season, and will continue to plcaae, wo hope, for many yoars to come. Thoro will be sharp coraoetitlon, of course pleasant, hard working rivalry between managers, to tho manifest advantage of the public.

With Uaverly at tho Brooklyn, Sinn at tho Park, and John P. Smith filling In timo at the Academy with the bestlegltlmate attractions that oan bo found, a singularly lively term may bo anticipated, The choice of ontertatments will be charmingly varied, and we veuture to say that in this clastic city of intelligent aud generous poople, thoro will bo plonty of room for all. Tho number of Brooklyn playgoers who havo hitherto been dintributed the New York theatres would alone be a sufficient constituency for tho four that will bo in operation withlu two or threo minutes of our City Hall. Tho sharpness of tho contest for supremacy, bowevor, may bo Judged from the elaborate preparations that have been mode lu the Interior of two theatres at least tho Brooklyn Park and tho Novelty. Mr.

Theall has put a now gallery Into bis pretty house, and has added considerably to the stock of scenery, Colonol Sinn has thoroughly renovated tho Park. In the first place, at the Brooklyn Park all tho old folding ohairs of blue havo been taken out of orchestra, orchostrs circle and the dress circle, and bare been replaced with new ones of tho most recent and fashionable pattern, in rod. Ths walls of the theatre snd the lobbies have been tinted with a pretty pearl effect; the Interior of the house has been refrescocd and repainted, and tho floors aro bright with new carpeting. The stago has been entirely refitted; the proscenium, with its hangings and laces, painted by Mr. Meyer, is charmingly dono new Bcenery throughout, by tho same capable and Industrious artist, has boen supplied and a new drop curtain will be among the Improvomonts destlnod to please the public.

The subject Is a oastlo in Switzerland, painted from a sketch taken by Mr. Meyer when visiting the spot recently, and the oxecutlon is really excellent. The tints of the walls, the frescoing, ths tone of the drop ourUln and the upholstery are ah in harmony, and tho ensemble Is particularly Inviting. Tbe material Improvements, however, are not conflnod only to show. A now root has beon put on the building, and oren tho iron gates havo been renovated with new paint and brought into harmony with the prevailing tints.

Iut season Colonel Sinn divided his forty weeks up scientifically Into tbe stock and combination seasons. The growth of the combination system, however, has rendered such a disposition of his time impossible. Every star of any magnitude at all now travels with his or hor own company, and the possession ol a stock company would be superfluous, oren if possible. As the Eaolk has repeatedly pointed out, this arrangement is fraught with Incalculable future disaster to tbe dramatic profession, becanto It will simply moke automata out of actors, and will finally, if persisted In, obliterate all tho traditions upon which our Btago Uvea. Moreover, we shall have no more local favorites, forming Buch a capital stock organization as Colonel Sinn could boost of last year, and that Is a considerable loss to the publlo.

Nobody deplores the combination monstrosity, however, so much as the managers, and since it has so many demerits it ought, at least, to have ono redeeming quality. It has, and this is It, namely, that all per formances, even those of first nights, will be equally good. Tho players will all bo upn tho business as well as the lines of their parts, and the public, understanding this fact, will not remain away on first nights, as has often been the case. The list of combinations with some conspicuous star at the head that is engaged for the coming season la exceedingly Urge and embraces most of the great popular favorites. Tho Brooklyn Park will open on Monday evening, when tho performers will be tho Union Square Traveling Combination, under Mr, James Collier, who openod the season this thus lsst year with a capital performance of a "Celobrated Case." Following upon this excellent beginning comes a party whoso specialty a lively American political comedy entitled "Our Candidates," which was first played, late last soft son, In Cincinnati, where It achieved prompt success.

Messrs. Richmond Von Boyle are tbe stars of tne party. Tho Ust which follows In rather different order, contains Emerson's famous "MegatherUn Minstrels," consisting' of fifty performers. Lester Wallack and his own company In a "Scrap of Paper" and "My Awful Dad." Joseph Murphy in his Improved version of "Kerry Gow Dhulv" andanotherjplay. Emma Abbott's English Opera Company, with sn extended repertoire.

Miss Adelaide Neilson, who makes her nrr on the American Btage at the Brooklyn Park, bringing, of co urse, her own company. Maggie Mitchell In "Lorelei" and V'Fanchon," with her own company. Max Maretzek's English Opera Company in "Sleepy Hollow," "FatinlzS" and other popular light operas. Miss Fanny Davenport In a round of characters. Bobson and Crane in the "Two Dromlos" and new plays.

Miss Eliza Weathorsby and Nat Goodwin, with their "Frollques." E. A. Sothern in "Crutches and Toothpicks" and other comedies, with aovoral changes of tho bill during the week. Mr. and Mrs.

Bandmann, with tholraIredy famous star traveling organization, of which so much has been said already. Miss Kate Claxton lu tho Two Orphans" and the "Doublo Msrrlago." John McCullongh In a round of legitimate performances, with a change of bill every night. J. K. Emmett In his new comedy, Fritx In Ireland." McKes Rankin and Miss Kitty Blanchardin the "Dau ltee." Samuel ColvlUe's famous Folly Company, which was one of the most popular attractions of last season, in new burlesques, with new musio and faces.

Miss Ada Cavendish in Miss a wilt and other plays. Dion Bouclcsult, with throe open weeks for tbe tran fcr of any his New York productions as may bo successful. Mary Anderson in a round of her beet characters. Mrs. Barney Williams In a now play.

John Bsymond in Wolfort's Boost" and other plays. Daring the Spring the famous organizations of Tony Pastor and Harrigon and Hart will have an Innings. Negotiations are also pending for the reproduction of any sudden New York or London successes that may be available. This is unquestionably a programme such as Brooklyn has not before enjoyed, and It represents the preparations for the season at one house only. The opening night auspiciously falls upon September 1, when all the novelties of the house will be exhibited.

The box office will be opened on Friday morning, and on Monday night ths Banker's Daughter" will be plsyed. The programme of attractions at the new Brooklyn Theatre is not out yot, but it is announced that the house will open on October 7, with Mite Clara Morris in one of her greatest parts. Tho Novelty Tbostro will reopen Monday night with llaverly's Georgia Mlnetrels. A portion of the wall of the brick house No. 93 Amity street, fell yesterday, and May Kennedy, ot 5 years, of 81 same street, wio wa playirtp, in the yard, had hor right arm broken by a portion of the df oris falling on her.

She was taken to the lsi tni College Hospital, The Boiler of a Tag on the East River. A Frightful Accident Early this Morning. The Fireman Scalded to Heath and tho Engineer fTearly So Heartrending Scenes. A terrible eiploflion startled the people living near Pier 40, EastKIver, New York, this morning i 2 o'clock, and the docks In tho vicinity near the jt of Montgomery street were soon filled with sn excited throng of men and women who had hurried from th. lr beds to ascertain the cause of the crash.

Ths sound hissing steam was found luuing from tho boiler of the steam tug Essex, lying moored at tho dock, and to cries of wounded and dying men appalled the spectators On board tho tug at the time of the explosion wero throo men, Joseph E. Laffey, the engineer Leonldas Full the fireman, and tho pilot, William Hogan. The Essex is used In the Hell Gate towing and when the explosion occurred was getting up steam to prooeod to tho foot of like street lo fill her tank with water. The pilot ww asleep in the aft part of the cabin. The engineer wu In tho boiler room to the right of tho engine, and the fireman Just behind tho boiler, when the steam drum blown clean ofl" tho boiler with a doafcnlnjr crash, and through tho hole thus torn in the Iron, as well as through tho broken back connection, the scalding steam poured into tho engine room.

Tbe pilot, though Dowllderod for a moment by the crash, rushod forward through tho dmrkncaa Mtthimj and, guided by the cries of tho ongincer, who was to gain Ills feet, reached him and bore him aft, out npon the deck. A faint moan from tho boiler room told hlia that tho fireman was still alive, and braving the danger of being scalded to death, once more he groped his way to the boiler and boro him, too, to a plsee of rty, though not without great difficulty. The rush of Vun was deafening, and not until it subsided could a clear idea ol the damage bo obtained, Tho boiler was A COWFLXTE WliEOK. The top of tho pilothouse had been lifted in a mass lu the air and, falling, crushed to atoms lhe rJ work and.wallB of the everything upiu deck savo the onglno room. The mnans of the wound od mon woro piteous, and as soon as possiblo the pollco of the Seventh Precinct wero Informed and an ambulance brought the men to the Chamber! etrvet Unnpila).

Fuller, the fireman, DIED BEFORE SIX O'CLOCK. His body was scalded from head to foot, aud he become rapidly unconscious. Tho engineer was burned bout tbe bonds and face, and suffered from Inhaling th hot steam. Ills agony Is great, and It Is hardly pvutlblo that he can recover. He resides at No.

31 Henry struct, and is years of age. The dead fireman, who waa years old, resided at No. 30 East Broadway. At daybreak the news of the explosion having retched bis home, his young wife, who Is shortly to becomo a mother, hastened to tbe wreck, and learning of her hu band's death filled the air with HEABTBE.VDEIUNO CBIE8. She was removed and cared for by kindly 'longshoremen, to whom both victims were known as hard working, sober mon.

Word was sent to tho Coroner's olllre, and preparations were made for the Inquest. Ths cauui Is yet a mystery. The engineer can glvo no explanation. The fires hsd just been made, and llttlo skaui had yet boen genorated. The pilot, Wm.

Hogan. says that thoro was enough water left evon after the accident to Hhow that the lault was not thero. The valves and apparatus for the height of the water and pressure of the steam were In order. David Harris is the master of the boat, which Is owned by the Central iutlroad of New Jersey. Sho waa built In Nutvburgh, lu 164, of wood, and was of G4 63 100 tons burden, iler certificate of Inspection, to which are appended the signatures of J.

Sho carried one ordinary engine of 20 Inch diamoter ol cylinder and 1 feet stroke of piston. Her return tubular boiler was 11 feet long and feet In diamoter, and was built with the tat in 1S64. A steam pressure of GO pounds to the square Inch was allowed by tho tho testimony of steamboat mou who know tho Essex Is that sho was unable to carry this amount, hor valves being too small.

She never carried over 40 pounds. Tho engineer ia said to bo a capable man. His license enables him to run boate of 100 tons burden and under. It Is signod by John K. MatthoTrs and Austin Jsyne.

There is no anuarent reason why this association should be destroyed. It may be that the late chief officer was removed from offlco Irregularly, but that his removal was desired by a largo majority of the members of the association Is undeniable. There is no mismanagement of tho funds of the corporation, no squandering. The association is proceeding in the usual way, anoraing relief to Ita needy ana neipiess members out of its funds, and usinc its resources in no Illegitimate way. It is not enough that a small minority of on organizod and Incorporated association desire to have It dissolved.

There must be proof that the asso ciation 1b improperly managed. Tho motion for a re ceiver ana an injunction win oe denied witn nu costs. The motion for the punishment for disobedience of in junction should also be denied. It was unintentional. and, if I am correct in deciding the other motion, the injunction was Improperly granted.

There are a number of largo oxcavations along tho lino of tho Btreet named where the plaintiff's road runs, and constant delays occur to tho running of tho plaintiff's cars and it is charged that at many points tho excavations havo been put In such a condition that tho cars aro inaccessible, and it has been found necessary to remove tho Btarting point from ita former advantageous position to another point some distance away from tho ferry, and this, It Is claimed, has caused a decreaso In the number of passengers. The plaintiff claims that no fault would havo been found with tho defendant's operations, had they beon vigorously pushed, but as the progress mado is alleged to havo been slow and promises to last. for a long time, plaintiffs folt it necessary to take some steps for tho preservation or tholr interests and to provent loss.

Hence the suit for the Injunction. It appears that at tho point where Water street debouches Into the open space In front of Fulton Ferry, thore Is a large excavation eight or ten feet deep and containing ono or two feet of water. A huge pile of earth lies near at hand, and there are other excavations which are claimed to Interfere seriously with tho business of the plaintiffs road. When the injunction was served Presldont Bruff visited the spot and examined the work complained of. He says that he will not discontinue tho work, but will so conduct it that it will not interfere with the business of the plaintiff's road, and this he considers will be a sufficient obodience to the Injunction.

It appears that tho plaintiffs do not desire to interfere with the operations of the Bruff lino, but Blmply to protect thoir own Interests. Mr. J. S. Hosgland, 8a perlutendent 5f tho plaintiff's line, says "Our intention in tho matter is simply to protect ourselves.

We have no objection to the elevated rood or to rapid transit in any form, and in taking this step we are not actuated by any feeling of mahco or animosity against Mr. Bruff's road, but we are compelled to do something to protect ourselves. I called Mr. Bruff's attention to tho matter several times, and he promised to remedy tho difficulty, but has not done so. Our cars have been detained at times as long as forty minutes, and we have lost a good many passengers, and our horses wero in danger of serious injury by falling into the excavations, Tho work has proceeded very Blowly, and at tho present rate It will take months to flnlBh tho work.

We do not wish to stop or interfere with tho elevated rood, but to hurry It up." It Is probable that If the Bruff road so arrange) their operations as not to interfere with the plaintiff's road the case will not come up in court again. A Suit Against the Coney Island PJor. An action is about to be commenced in the Supreme Court against the Ocean Navigation and Pier Company of Conoy Island, better known as tho Iron Pier. The suit roveals a state of affairs which would indicate that other suits may be brought by other parties. Tho plaintiff in tho action contemplated is Mr.

Edward Blakely, a tobacco dealer, residing in this city and doing business at No. 210 Broadway. Mr. Blokely hired the cigar stands on the Pier from the first of July until the 20th of Septembor, for tho season, for a rental of $4,000. He paid the rent In advance.

The contract was supposed to run from the 1st of July, but It was tho 26th of July before the Pier was open for business, and Mr. Blakely claims damages on that account. The roof of the Pier leaked badly, and Mr. Blakely notified the company of the trouble, but the managers neglected to have tho necessary repairs mado, and the result was that Mr. Blakely's goods were damaged, as claimed by Mm, to the extent of $1,500.

He was forced from this cause to abandon the stands and leave the Pier on the 26th of August, and brings Bult to recover damagos for the loss of business between that date and the close of the season on the 20th of September. He claims altogether damages amounting to $4,200. The complaint will be served in a few days. Mr. Blakely was at considerable expense In fitting up the various olgar stands about the Pier, and has been obliged to remove them all.

The fact that tho roof leaked bo soon after its construction would seem to Indicate that it was constructed in a very flimsy manner. Barrett it Patterson aro counsel for Mr. Blakely, The Will of Mrs. Sttidmorc. The matter of the will of Mrs.

Elmer D. Skldmore, late of the City of Brooklyn, was called up before Surrogate Dailey yesterday morning, and owing to the absence of witnesses was adjourned to September 8. The deceased was the eccentric old lady whose death in a tenemont house in Atlantic avenue last Winter was announced in the Eaole. Although possessed of several thousand dollars she led a penurious life and suffered great privations. Bhe was the widow of tho late Dr.

Franklin Skldmore, of Babylon, from whom she separated many years before his death, and respecting whose estate she became Involved in litigation in which sho was represented by Messrs. Morris Pearsall. By hor will, filed March 3, 1879, sho gives all her estate to a married daughter, Mrs. Honrtotta S. Nlbloo, of Albany, except one hundred dollars left to a granddaughter, Adrians Carman, her only other heir.

Allegations against the will hove been filed in behalf of the granddaughter, who claims that the testatrix lacked testamentary capacity and did not Intend to execute such a will, but waa unduly Influenced by Mrs. D. P. Barnard appears for tho proponents, and John H. Knaebel for the contestants.

The Count Joannes' Latest Cose. The Count Joannes sued Messrs. Gillespie and Zavala, lawyers, for $150, counsel fee, alleging that they retained him In a case at that figure. Thoy got an order striking out two thirds of the complaint and allowing him five days in which to amend, staying all proceedings until payment of $10 costs on the motion. Tho Count got from Judge McCue an extension of time, and this morning Messrs.

Gillespie ft Zavala moved to vacate the order. The Count failed to appear. Mr. Gillespie showed that the Count had not complied with the former order and that consequently ho was stayed, whereupon Judgo NcCue vacated the order granting him the extension. An Interesting Promissory Note.

An interesting case has just been decided before the refereo appointed by the court. In December, 1877, John J. Seaman, a wealthy Queens County farmer, died, leaving a considerable estate. A claim wsa put in against the estate' by Wm. H.

Andrews, another Queens County man, for $439.60, based upon note for that amount drawn for eight months. Mr. J. T. Marean was counsel for tho estate snd Morris Pearsall appeared for Mr.

Andrews. The claim was referred to Counselor Wm. C. Coggswell to take testimony and report. The note was written upon a piece of common writing paper about four by throe Inches and was torn on one edge.

It was written In violet Ink, with coarse pen, and signed In lead pencil with Mr. Seaman's name. Mr. Marean thought there was somothinir suspicious about the matter, as tha records of the busineaa did not Indicate the claim. He scrutinized the little slip of paper, purporting to bo the note, very carefully.

He notloed that the lines on the surface wero crasod and looked as though they had bean rubbed, out. The back of the written slip showed some marks that did not correspond with tho markB on th. written surface. He placed the nolo with the written surface down upon a hard black surface, and hold tho revorse or unwritten side in front of the looking glass In a strong light.

A Wife Sues the Husband for DiYorce for Adultery, and the Husband Charges the Wife with Conspiracr A Case Which is Disgraceful from Whatever Standpoint Begarded. A case of alleged conspiracy to obtain evidence In divorce proceedings camo np before Justice Semler to day, the complainant being Walter Y. P. Fowls. He Is about thirty years of age, and is at present in the advertising business.

In 187 he was married, to the daughter of a banking house clerk in New York, he being then engaged as a manufacturer in the Metropolis. Tho Issue of this marriago was a girl, now six years of age. It was to recover possession of thta child that Mr. Powis recently made application in tho New York Supreme Court for a writ of habeas corpus, doing so for reasons given below. While those proceedings were pending the alleged oonspiracy is said to have occurred.

Mr. Powis had not long been married when he is said to have failed In business. Ho then went to Spring Valley, New York, where he bought a farm, and whither he took his wife and child. The wife claims that while living here Bowls deserted her, leaving her without money and with out any visible means of Bupport. On the other hand, Powis olalma that he went South on the advice of his father ia law, who wonted him to improve his health and also esoape any trouble that might arise out of thelato business complications.

Soon after Bowls went South proceedings of divoroewere Instituted by his wife, on the grounds of abandonment and 111 treatment. The divorce Jwss not granted, and now Powis alleges that this conspiracy was for the purpose of obtaining further material for a second divorce suit. Meanwhile the child remains with the mother, a decision In tho habeas corpus proceedings being dally expected. Powis Ib now living at No. 18 Jefferson street, and his wife is living with her father.

602 Broadway, New York; Susan G. Couillord, of No. 148 Clifton place, this city; and two John Does and Bobert Boes (legal names for unknown porsoas) are tho parties named in the Bowls complaint, which was made before Justlco Semler on the twenty third Instant, and was eworn to by Mr. Fowls. The alleged facts stated in it are that on tho 10th of July, with intent to injure him in a civil action, and to conspire with Intent to maintain a suit or procure a judgment or decree, or both, against PowIb, In favor of his wifo, Jonnie M.

Powis, to obtain a divorce and to deprive him of his six years old child, thoy (the defendants) procured Susan G. Couil lard, living at No. 148 Clifton place, Brooklyn, to entice Powis Into an act of adultery at the Nlogara Houso, on Court street, so that it could be pleaded in the suit. That the plaintiff and Bald Coulllard went to the Niagara House, and that when they wore leaving the room thoy wore accoBted by the John Does and Robert Boes (tho unknown persons), who eaid "Now WE HAVE OOT YOU THIS TIME, you oan't get out of thiB." By the latter expression, Mr. Powis allegeB that they meant that they had at last procured testimony that would go against him in divorce proceedings and would be sufficient to decido tha caBe against him.

In substance thisls Mr. PowIb' complaint. Attached to it is on affidavit mado by Mr. Jamea H. Whitelogge, counsel for Mr.

Powis. He affirms that ho went to see Miss Coulllard, and she told him that thore would bo no trouble. Bather than see Powis in trouble eho (Miss Coulllard) would confess tho whole affair. Whitelogge made an appointment with tho girl to go before a magistrate and confess the conspiracy proceedings. This appointment was not kept, and Mr.

Whitelegge swearB that ho believes MIbs Coulllard has beon tampered with by the defense. Justice Somlor listened to the reading of these affidavits, and then caused warrants to be issued for all the parties named in Mr. Powis' complaint. Tho defendant, Mias Coulllard, was taken Into Justlco Sender's private room, and' there she intimated her willingness to becomo a witness for the proseoution, She then ewore to an affidavit before Judge Semler, which contains some astounding details. Justice Semler neglected yesterday to sign his name to the affidavit.

He aid so this morning, however. Tho following is Miss Coulllard 's affidavit AN ASTOUNDING AFFIDAVIT. ClTT OF BllOOKI.VK, County OF Kinos: Susio G. Coulllard, being duly sworn, eaya that she is acquainted with W. V.

I roplied "yes," and aBked how. He said thore was no danger, aud I would not get myself In any trouble.

He wanted me to go down and make the acquaintance of Mr. Powis, who, ho said, was a bad fellow. In about two weoks he camo to my house in company with John B. L. Sniffen and Introduced him to mo.

Thoy onterod into a conversation about Powis, and Bald, one or both of them, that Powis was running around with women and his wife wanted to get a divorce, and they said also that they wanted to get him to go with mo to a hotel or some other place, so that they could get evidence, and we will make it all right with you." I accordingly met Mr. Powis, engaged him in conversation and made an appointment to meet htm on Sunday afternoon, at tho corner of Bedford avenue and Lofforts place, Brooklyn. We met and went to Conoy Island together. Some appointments were kept and some not. On Thursday night we met by appointment in the early part of this month, and together we went to a hotel in Court street, Brooklyn, and remainod there almost an hour.

I had meanwhile frequently reported to Budd, aforesaid, the progreiB I was making in this affair. He would say in substance "Hurry it up." I wrote him (Powis) twico, and received two notes In reply. I gave those to Bald Budd at his request. At the said place in Court Btreet nothing took place improper betweon Mr. Powis and myself.

Alleged Double Dealing In the Tabernacle Exposed by exTreasurer Ham blin. Watee oo, Senaca N. August 25. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle My friends in Brooklyn cut out of tho New York papors notices of my resignation as trustee and Treasurer of the Brooklyn Tabernaclo and sent them to me, and after careful examination of them I did not find a sufficient cause to make any reply. But In the Eiqle of August 21, '79, I find that you received from B.

B. Corwin what he calls a statement of tho real facts. With your permission I will make a statement of the "foolish moods" and "fault finding without a cause," aa be chooses to call them, and leave your readers to judgo whether I had a sufficient cause to do what I have done. Although I was very much In hopes that my resignation would not be published, because I did not wish to give my reasons to the public for so doing and I would not now do so if Mr. Corwin had stated the true facts.

In regard to my resignation he says I resigned for reasons of my own, which the trustees have not been Informed. I take it that this you also received from him because it Is under the article of 'Beal Facte," and to this wish to reply and giro your readers a reason for my llttlo fault finding and foolish moods: As treasurer, I supposed and believed I was the only one to receive and pay out the funds that was paid in for the benefit of the church. My first foollBh mood and fault finding was in demanding from those who had the management of all concerts and festivals a true statement of all money received and what they did with it, and I here state that such a statement I never received only whatever moneys they chose to give me. That way of doing business I could not consent to. I do not wish to be understood that I believe I did not recelvo all the money from inch concerts and because that, of course, I know nothing about.

In regard to my first, second, third and fourth resignations, that Mr. Corwin says that the brethren told me not to be foolish I will simply say this, I had passed by the Board of Trustees (which will shor on their book), a resolution that all moneys re oeivod Irom all conoerts, festivals, eto must be immediately turned over to the treasurer and a full statement thereof, and all bills contracted on account of said concerts were to be paid by him. There was no attention paid to that resolution whatever, and whenever I would bring it up In the Board It would meet with a stormy opposition. Hence my resigning so often. My fourth and final one was brought about for reasons I will riot state, unless called upon to defend myself in the action I have taken.

In regard to the mortgage on the organ, I will simply state a few facts, and leavo all fair minded business men to Judge whether I acted wrong In the matter On September 16, 1878, or there, abouta, Mr. S. P. Knight (a trustee) snd myself loanod the Brooklyn Tabernacle each on a note for sixty days, with the express understanding (and Mr. Corwin brought this np himself) that the first moneys, including the collections on the Sabbath, should go to tako up those notes.

There was not a word said about paying those notes until I asked about seven months afterward, for other seourltiea. Hence the mortgage given to myself and Mr. Knight. N. Hamblin.

BBUFF. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagl In reference to the injunction served on me yesterday, by the Brooklyn and Coney Island Railroad Company, I beg to say that It was granted Blmply on aa parte appUeationTind on an affidavit which I am idvised Is Incorrect as to facts. No complaints have ever been made by that company, and I have never, to my knowledge, conversed with or over seen any of its officials. Moreover, the shortenings of that company's track was done under the personal supervision of one of its own officers, and to his entire satisfaction. I have yet to learn, after these proceedings, that that company Is friendly to my company, as so publioly expressed in thiB day's Aete York Times.

Tho works are and will be still continued along our route, except so far as interdicted by the aforesaid injunction, which merely prevents our setting onr foundation block at the Intersection of Fulton and Water streets, I am, sir, your obedient servant, W. Fojjta Bawy, President, The Besults of the Looal Republican Fight Last Evening. Worth and Jourdan Triumphant Over their Bespectlre Opponents Daggett and Henry Irretrievably Bouted The ex Sheriff in the Bole of Tail to Am merman's Site The State Committeeman from the Third Congressional District Tanner's Defeat Conflict Between Municipal Departments. The result of tho Republican primaries last night shows that General Jourdan and Commissioner Jacob Worth are the bosses of tha party in Kings County. Jourdan's triumph la remarkably complete.

Worth made some extravagant statements in predicting the extent of hia success, but he has won very handsomely and laid out his old enemy, ox Sheriff Daggett, so completely that Daggett is generally regarded as politically dead beyond resurrection. Crowds of politicians thronged the oorrldor of tho Municipal Building to day eagerly dlBCUBBlng last night's events, and the probabilities respecting the forthcoming Assembly District Conventions and the appointments on tho State Committeo. One of tho features of the gossip was the discussion touching Daggett's case. Whilo he and hia friends attributed his withdrawal from tho contest to the reasons published yesterday, his opponent assorted that he had retired for the Blmple reason that he saw beforehand that he was beaten. Sold an old politician WHY DAGGETT WAS BEATEN.

Worth has been working for months past to bring about the result achieved last night. The boys are with him. They firmly believe that Daggett was responsible for his dofeat in tho Shrievalty oontest, last Fall, and were determined to lay him out. Then, again, Daggott is unpopular on other accounts. He forgets his friends.

He will take up with a man, be served by him, then put him aside and take up with another, saying in effect that the first fellow will Btiok by him any way. This is a funny way to act in politics, A man can't forget hiB friends in that way, and Daggett has found it out to his coBt. I regard him as politically dead. I see he said In an interview, yesterday, that he did not propose to bo Bent back to Troy, or to bo burled politically by Worth, or any of his friends. It seems to me that Worth has kept his promise so far as burying is concerned, and that Daggott may as well go back to Troy, as ho won't got another oflico In this town for some yeara to como at loaet." 'Do you think that his connection with the Sonatorial apportionment business had anything to do with his collapse 7" asked the reporter.

"No, for the reason that If It had Jourdan would havo been equally affected by it. But Jourdan is a different sort of a man from Daggett. He makes friends and manages to keep them. Thero havo been a good many people talking about how certain it was that Jourdan was to bo laid out by the Palmer and Henry men. I never for a moment doubted that he would sueceod and to the extent that he has succeeded.

Henry evidently had little hope of success, for ho went out of town and did not return to tho primaries. A flno way for a leader to act, wasn't it 7 Tho primaries show that the Palmer and Henry party oro not stronger than last year If thoy are so strong. Jourdan has mado a oleau swoop in his Cong reBsional district, and will go back to the State Committeo If ho wants to. Ho Is boss to day." WERE WOItTH AND JOURDAN WORKING TOGETHER Thoro was a rumor in circulation this morning about the Hall, that Jourdan and Worth yosterday formed a combination in ordor to carry the primaries. It is known that the CommiBBionor's main object in all thiB fight has been to lay out Daggett.

Some have held that he must bo opposed to Jourdan also, the latter being friendly to tho ox Sheriff. Commissioner Worth stated to an Eagle reporter on Monday that ho had nothing against Jourdan in this contest, but that he proposed to dovote all his time to beating Daggett. Tho rumor created a good deal of talk to doy, and thero were a good many of the politicians who wore anxious to know if there was anything in it. They could not understand how it could be so, and they not to havo known of it yesterday. An Eagle reporter saw Commissioner Worth and asked him.

Ho replied that ho had mado no combination with tho General, but intimated that ho might havo made one, if he had thought it desirable. He knew, however, that he could boat Daggett alone aud ho had done it. He had verified his assertion that Daggett would not appear again in the State Control Committee. Tho roporter asked him who he favored for appointment in the Third District. Ho said that ho did not know, but that ho might havo a candidate of his own, and, on the other hand, he might favor Stewart.

That would appear when tho delegates arrived at Saratoga. Mr. Worth wont on to say, in reply to inquiries, that ho had read a part of tho report of the Daggett interview published in yosterday's Eagle, and until he knew all that It contained he would not answer it further than to say that somo of tho ox Sheriff's statements he had read were lies. The Commissioner was warmly congratulated upon his success by hosts of frlonds, aud found difficulty in gottlng time to attend the mooting of tho Board of City Works, so great was the number who wished to talk with him. One man remarked to the reporter "Worth will soon ba tho ona Iiopublican Doss of Brooklyn.

The patronage of tho department is a big thing, and will help him more than anything also to bo boss." DAGGETT'S NEW AN STRANGE DEPASTURE. The ex Sheriff Bhowed up at the Municipal Building this morning, as fresh and smiling as if he had won a groat victory. He began to make Inquiries as to how the primaries had gone. Perhaps ho had not heard the sad news already. He oxplained that tha only reason why he got out of the race was because to remain In would be to endanger the bread and butter of certain men, his friends, who held positions in the Department of City WorkB, and also would bo dismissed by Worth.

Billy Leaycraft, of the Thirteenth Ward, was the principal party who asked him to got out, and the Thirteenth had the most appointments in the department. Mr. Daggett affirmed that he was not still aeoking reappointment on the State Committee, although It had been rumored that he was a candidate now that the primaries were over. Ho thought he would be a delegate to the convention. He was asked for whom he should vote for State Committeeman in his district, If he should be a delegate.

I am for Ammorman he replied. "Tor Ammerman 1" said tho reporter, astonished that Daggott should go over to his old enemy. "Yes, for Ammorman," replied the Sheriff. "Well, politics does make strange bedfellows Boine tlmeB," remarked the reporter. "I will tell you that if I am a delegate and feel as I do to day, I shall vote for Ammerman." This strange departure of Daggett became noised about the crowds, and provokod a great deal of comment.

It was not gonorally understood, and many predicted that there was a Job of some kind in It. Ammorman and Daggett working together would be one of tho most interesting apeotacles evor devoloped by our local poll tl ca. Some of Ammerman'a friends laughed at the idea of Daggett's coming to his assistance at this stage of the contest, Inasmuch as they say Ammerman's fight has been against Daggett and Stewart all the way through, in his own ward and elsewhere. They say that this last move is a shrewd dodgo of Daggett's to hurt Ammerman In wards of the Third Congressional District, where the fight has successfully been made on Daggett, and the frlendB of Ammerman havo come out ahead. In other words, that the ex Sheriff is trading on hia own unpopularity to injure an old foe.

THE THIRD DISTRICT CONTEST. The primaries having effectually settled the question as to the appointments on the State Committee In tho Second and Fourth Congressional districts in favor of Jourdan and Worth, there was considerable speculation as to who would succeed in the middle district. Alderman Stewart was confident that he would succeed, and there was a good deal of sentiment in his direction. Ammerman and his friends were equally confident. Franklin Woodruff was declared to be out of the race.

It 1 Impossible to say now who will be tha auoceesf ul candidate. Mike Dady's defeat In the Fourth Ward occasioned not a little talk. Dady was against Commissioner Worth in the fight. The City Hall statesmen believed to day that Dady'a lease of official life would be a very brief one. Dady and his right hand man, Barney Mulhol land, were complaining that they hod really won at the primary, but had been beon counted out.

The dole gates from the Fourth Ward to the StateJConvention will probably be Joe lieeve and B. B. Hopkins, and one of them will vote for Worth'! candidate for the State Committee. Unole Joe Beove has been singularly unfortunate in politics, but he got on the winning Bide last night. Hopkins was on both tlokets.

It waa a wonder that Dady made out ob well as he did, for thore was a very strong combination against him. Gossip has it that if it is ascertained that Boove will not vote for Ammerman, an effort will be mado to have Al Wheeler, of the Auditor's office, substituted for him as a delegate to Saratoga. The trouble in the Twenty third ward, where two primaries were hold, was variously commented upon. The fact that the Nathan party had two lnepectora and the books boBido, was generally regarded aa settling the question as to which delegation would bo admitted to the Assembly District Convention, In their favor. TANNEB'8 DEFEAT.

The triumph of the Jourdan faction in the Twenty second Ward was a bad blow for Tanner, who wob confident that his side would win. It was a squelcher for Supervisor Egolf, who was a champion of tho Antl Jourdan cause. It would seem that he does not know the Bentiment of the Republicans of the ward as fully as he would have people believe. There had been a great flourish of trumpets among tho Palmor Henry Dutcher party, and many predictions of the oomplete overthrow of the enemy were made. The Jourdan boys rather had the laugh on them to day.

Tanner'a fight was perhaps more particularly directed against Alderman Fritz, one of tho General's lieutenants in tho wacd. Tho result Indicates that Fritz can have a ronomlnation for Alderman this Fall, If he wants it. He la boss of the Twenty second to day. CONFLICT BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS.

London, August 27. The Financier Pays According to tho teaching of all past experience, a very altered state of things In the money market must s2ervene within three months' time. The pinch is expected about the beginning of October, when bills drawn by America againBt whoat shipments will bogin to fall due heavily. Our American food purchases aro now beginning to bo estimated at amounts considerably in excess of those thought of a week or ton days ago, aud, notwithstanding the purchases of iron and other manufactures bore, tho conviction prevails that gold will bo taken in payment to a considerable amount. It is known that large amounts of bills agninBt wheat shipments, with tho usual sixty days to run, have boon steadily accumulating during tho last month.

Tho crops in Ireland seem to bo better spoken of than those of any other part of tho United Kingdom. Reports from various parts of Galway show that the prospects of the harvest are now bright. Farmers oxpect to commoneo reaping in a few days. Tho hay is all saved, and is excellent. The crops of turnips, mangolds, are in excellent condition.

Potatoes, however, are in a good many instances blighted." Advancement of Science. Saiiatooa, N. August 27. The Amorican Association for the Advancement of Science, commenced its annual session at 10:30 this morning, with a large attendance, in tho large room of the Town Hall, and was called to order by Professor O. C.

Marsh, of New Haven, tho retiring President, who introduced the new President, Mr. George F. Barker, of Philadelphia. Mr. Barker accepted tho position In a few remarks.

C. Mc 1 lvren, Chairman of the Local Commltteo, mado an address oPwelcome. President Barker, in reply, thanked tho Local Committeo for the cordial welcome which had been extended them. Ho Bald they camo horo uninvited, because science is becoming bo popular that attendants upon a meeting of the association aro too numerous for the voluntary entertainment accorded them at previous meetings. The province of science is to find tho truth.

The creation of an independent mass of truth is the true function of this association. The man of science in these days does not live in a cloister, and the glory of American science Is that it is diffused. Tho meeting of eciontlflc men and the comparison of ideas tend to make ub humble. The object of the American Association is to promote sciontifio intercourse and encourage tho diffusion of solence. In view of these things it is peculiarly appropriate that the association should come to Saratoga.

We owe to Saratoga a chance to oxpend some science but the State of Now York is a typical brick, whoso geological survey, begun 1830, and continuod to tho presont time, has made its ittlo interior towns well known to scientific men throughout the world.

There was a large gathering of Fifth Ward boys last evening at old Brooklyn Hall, corner of Hudson avenue and Prospect street, tho occasion being a sparring exhibition, in which It was understood there were to be two or three rattling mills and a little of tha funny business, whioh usually characterizes such affairs.

But the affair was knocked in the hood by the interference of tho police of the Second Precinct, who, at eight o'clock, marched to tho hall in strong force, headed by Sergeants Clancy and Cain, and refused to let the exhibition go on unless a permit from the Mayor or Police Commissioners wore shown. The managers of the entertainment had overlooked the fact that such official permission was necessary, and to the disappointment of the audience the hall was closed, with the promise, however, that the show would tako place next week.

All through his long life ho had been a simple, unassuming man, discharging the duties of his public offices in an unpretentious manner, as became one who coneidered himself to be in high places, but tho servant and stoward of the people. Hia wishes as regards the unoral sorvtcoa were carriod out.

Charles Fletchor, Presiding Eldor of tho New York East Conferences, who read tho lesson from the Epistles. Bev. Mr. Goodsoll then addressed the assembly, speaking substantially as follows BEV. MB aOODSELTi'S BEMABKS.

I find myself callod upon unexpectedly to speak to you of tho life and services of our deceased brother. It was hoped that a venerable and well known brother would have beon here who has known the deceased for more years than I can number in my own life. It has so happened, however, that he is unablo to be present, and a former pastor, who have known our do parted brother for only three or four years, must speak to you. But though I have only known our brother for a short time, I will yield to none in my rov erence and love far him. That larger pulpit, ths press, has called attention to the public services of his long and laborious career.

The same energy and purity of character and singleness of purpose which marked the discharge of his duties In the publlo Btation was characteristic also of his religious life. The same spirit of patient investigation and painstaking research and careful Inquiry marked his study of the dootrines of religion, and there was the steadfast purpose to apply thoss doctrines to hiB own life. All who have known htm in his inner life have great cause to love and reverence him for the bright and humble faith, the lofty purpose which he always displayed. Many, very many yean ago, he gave his heart to God, and from that time until tho time he was called away, he has led the life of a simple, consistent, prayerful Christian. With him, to see duty, was to attempt th performance of It.

There are those within the sound of my voice who will remember when he fave himself to the altar of the church, snd they oan ear wltneSB that through his long and laborious lif he has never faltered or turned aside from the right path. You have seen how early ho identified himsolf with the churoh, and have witnessed his Interest in the course of secular education, and the active Interest he took in the Sunday 8chool where he was a teacher and Superintendent. He always took the deepest Interest in the well being and prosperity of these objects, and when called on to discharge trusts and responsibilities in connection therewith the duty was performed with the same high purpose and lofty integrity whioh have marked hia whole life. In the intercourse which I have had with him I have had frequent occasion to note the tender spirit and the noble charity which marked hia life, That he was a prayerful man no one will deny who has heard him in the publlo services of the sanctuary. It was his oustom to lay all his cares and responsibilities before his God and to invoke tho Divine blessing and guidance upon them.

It often happens with men in life that they bo come hardened, but with him it was not bo. Although his life was a contest, be did not lose tho sweetness of heart and kindliness of soul whioh endeared him to all who know him. Those who have known him In hia home will bear witness to the oareful, tender love of the husband and father, bis earnest ears to educate his children and train them so that they should grow manly men and graceful and noble women, and they will remember the deep affection and kind ness which bound all hearts to bis own. Of late years his strength has been sufficient to carry him to his place in the house of God, to visit the narrowing oirole of hia acquaintances, and to enable him to attend to the charities which ho dispensed quietly and unobtrusively. The grand, olden time courteous hospitality with which he welcomed his friends to this house will long be remembered.

His Interest in the affairs of the world did not cease with the Infirmities of years. It was a blessing to talk with him; to liBten to bis fund of reminiscences of the olden time, and especially was It a blessing to witness his cheerful faith and firm reliance upon God with which be waited for the tune when he should be called. When a man who has reached eighty, and is beloved by children, it is a sign that the freshness of youth still livoa in his heart. Children entered the room which he bo long occupied, and were weloomed with hearty love and cheerfulness that 'spoke of the tenderness and freshness of his heart. His charaoter was not schooled In prosperity alone, for he had borne the full measure of care and sorrow which falls to the lot of man; but these felled to harden his nature or render him less kind and charitable to all men.

Every fresh sorrow found him sitting at tho feet of his Master and asking what God would have him do. In the past few weeks it has beon my privilege to spsnd several hours with him and to note tho Interest which he took in the friends around him, (o witnsss the lighting of the eye, and the resonant laughter whioh the cheerful heart But more than ail it wm a pleasure to note that bis face was at peace and that the thought of heaven was in his soul. Bo when the other day ins intelligence came to me that Dikeman was dead. I aitthat he had gone to God, that a true man had gone out of the church and out of the world. Wo who have gathered here have not come to mourn.

Doath to him was the open door to a grander and a nobler life, and to many reunions. In ooneluslon Mr. GoodseU alluded to the memory which the deceased would leave behind him of a nobler life and bright example. Tha memory of a father's tendorness and guiding wisdom which would no longer help them and aid them was left to tho sorrowing friends and children. BEV.

MB. FLETCHER spoke briefly of the questions which death always presents and the Inquiries which it raises aa to the future life In thiB instance the memory of a Just man mado perfect will be the heritage of those who come after, him, to encourage and aid them In the effort after a nobler lif and a higher plane of existence for whtoti he sought. The services closed with an earnest and prayer and the benediction by Bev. Mr. Goo'dselL The casket waa opened and an opportunity afforded to those present to look for tho last timo uj'0 the well known features of tho deceased.

The interment took plaoe this 'morning in Greenwood, at an hour suited, to the Coavsaicnc4 0f the family, KU KLUX. Seven Young Kentuokians Arrested for a Horrid Murderv All of Them Grandsons of One Woman. The Defendants Assert their Innocence. Lootsvtlle, August 27. It will be remembered that some weeks ogo a horrible murder was oommltted In the eastern part of Henry County, near a small town callod Sandriflio, particulars of which woro given at the time In substance.

The deed was killing one negro man, wounding another, and burning the dead body of the man killod, together with that of a little girl and also an Infant. After a few days four men were arrested sad, upon preliminary trial, threo were held over to orlminal court without bail, and one released because of wont of sufficient evidence. A number of worthy citizens conceived a plan to find out THE GUILTY PARTIES, and, together with cltlzons living in the neighborhood where tho crimo was committed, st onco began to put it into oxeoution. Not until last night waB anything known about the intended capture, save to the few who wero investigating the matter. They very quietly left town, after making such provision as to Insure Bafety against bullets, and went to Sandriffle.

Tho country in that neighborhood is exceedingly rough and hilly, and Is the same that is known as the Kuxlux County, where the Simmons gang committed their depredations, for which they woro hanged, four in number, by a mob. THE MEN ABBESTED were Jim Anes, Warren Anes, Jack Estes, Clomp Onan, Jim Downey, Jim Estes and Jeff. Onan seven in number. None of tho men resisted arreBt, and all claim to bo not guilty. All of them aro young, unmarried men, ranging from slxteon to twenty two years of age.

It is claimed by the arrosting parties that the ovidonce in their poBsoBslon Ib sufficiently strong to oonvict tho prisoners. A singular fact couneoted with this arrest is that the whole numbor are grandsons of one old lady named Mrs. Onan, who is now 81 years of age, and who Is greatly incensed by the arrest of her "boys." She claims that they have been reared in a right manner. SHORE INSPECTOR HOPKINS. An Application to the Governor to Ile IUoyo Illin for Alleged Neglect of Duty.

A SWINDLED GROCER. Charles Schultz, a German grocer who resides in East Now York, poured forth a bitter tale of woe thiB morning in the detective office at Police Headquarters, New York. One of Babbitt's agents called at his store yesterday, he said, and while he woe bargaining for soap a JowiBh peddler entered with a pack of dry goods. Ho, too, likod tho soap and expressing a preference for it as compared with dry goods purchased $100 worth.

The Manner in Which Thomas Stensen Used his PistoL A Drunken Watchman Shoots a Citizen in the Thigh. This morning, at a quarter past 3, Winfield Watkins was Bhot in tho thigh by Thomas Stensen, a private watchman, at tho corner of St. Mark's and Sixth avonues, within a block of tho Tenth precinct Station House.

Thomas Stensen, the watchman, is a one armed man, of large build, and hot tempered disposition. He resides in Borgon street, near Third avenue, and haB been a private watchman for somo years. He is known among his neighbors and acquaintances by the nickname of "Limerick," he being a native of that historical city, on the banks of the Shannon. Stenson has another feature, which is not at all a commendable characteristic he is given to the uBe of intoxicating liquors, and very frequently gets moro than is proper for him. It is well known to the neighbors and tho police that Stensen never goes on patrol without carrying a loaded revolver with him.

During his cups ho ia very fond of exhibiting the weapon, and has often desired to come across a thief, so that he could put a bullet through him. At the timo etoted this morning "Limerick" wos patrolling along Sixth avonue; at the corner of St. Marks avonue, recently called Wyckoff street, he found Mr. Winfield Watkine, a gentleman about 32 years of ago, who rosldcs at 54 Sixth avenue, In the immediate vicinity of St. Marks.

Mr. Watkins hod several friends with him, all of whom had been together at a party given the night previous and who wero standing on tho corner in tho act of bidding Mr. Watkins good night as "Limorlck" camo up. Ho was drunk, and as no posted them ho ordered them In a Burly manner to get off the corner. All the party know "Limerick," and therefore did not get offended at what he said, or rather the manner in which it waB said, but on the contrary COMMENCED TO 1 CHAFF HIM for fun.

Stensen turned back on them and told them that If thoy did not stop fooling with him ho would shoot them, at the same time drawing a seven barreled Smith Wesson revolver from hiB pocket. 'Oh, you wouldn't shoot us, said one, "would you Steneen commenced to uso bad language again threatening to put a bullet into some of them if they didn't quit. The young men kept on skylarking, whereupon Stenson oooked hiB revolver and deliberately aiming at Watkins, fired, the bullet striking him upon tho left thigh a little abovo tho knee. "Boys, he's shot me," shouted Watkins. Immediately his friends gathered around and saw tho blood oozing from the wound through the hole in the Injured man's pants.

Some months ago Stensen picked a quarrel with Mr. Charles W. Bedell, of 730 Carroll street, and threatened his life on that occasion.

His disposition is well known to the police, who do not hesitate to say that he is not a fit man to trust with a revolver, especially when he is drunk, at which time no man's life is safe. He was brought before Justice Bloom this morning, and pleaded not gvilty to the charge of felonious assault, stating that he ehot Watkins in self defense, because ho "followed hini up."
