A RESTAURANT KEEPER LAUGHS, And Also Tells What He Knows About French and Other Boots, Washington, July It. At the Hid Investigation to day, Goorgo Pitch, a elate roofer, was called up for tho defense. He said that ho had read In tho papers a statement by one of tho Mtnesses that copper wiro was superior to tho Far.

quhar fastener for slate roofs, and it had caused Mat to laugh heartily. Ho assorted that tho Farquhar fastener was much superior to wire, and dosoribed its advantages. On cross examination tho witness said that ho kept a restaurant, but also did slato work. Mr. Coleman Do you slato your oustomors7 Answer Ye; whon they don't behave themaelvos I put a Frenoh roof ou thoni.

Laughter. Tho witness then demonstrated practically how a broken slato fastened with tho Farquhar patent could bB replaced without disturbing tho remainder of the roof, and asserted that it was far superior to the Jones fastener. Mr. Thompson, of the architect's ofilco, testified that tho cost of labor upon tho elato roof of the New York Post Ofilco was $27.81 per square, and with the slate tho cost was Upon tho Cincinnati building ond others constructed by Mr. Hill tho total cost was about $27 per square.

Did not know the character of the work upon the New York Post Ofilco. Mr. Totten read in evidence a report, dated in 1878, showing that the roof upon tho New York buildlug was iu bad condition. In answer to Mr. Coleman Mr.

Totten said that his object was to show tho worthlessness of the copper wire fastening. Mr. Steinmetz endeavored to show from tho monthly reports that the labor upon tho roof of tho Now York building cost $11 per square, but could not positively contradict Mr. Thompson Mr. Totten announced that he was prepared to begin the defense in the Philadolphia case, as ho understood that it had been closed for the prosecution.

Mr. Coleman declared that he. had no Philadelphia caso, or Chicago case, or Cincinnati case; they wore all parts of one charge, aud ho should refuse to regard tho case as closed. Tho chairman said that it was not ntccssary to repeat tho testimony given in the Philadelphia case, in tho caso of the Chicago and Cincinnati buildings. Tho committee would concede that tho same condition of affairs existed in these cases.

Mr. Coleman replied that the frauds were of a different character. That the committee would hear any testimony of a character different from that already given in' tho Philadelphia caso, but did not wish to 6pcnd weeks in hearing tho testimony ropeated. It would be a work of supererogation. Mr.

Coleman But tho defense dony that it is the same. Tho chairman I don't so understand. Mr. Coleman I do and I am going to offer tho proof and let you reject it. The Chairman Offer it then.

Mr. Coleman We take up but one case at a time. Mr. Alexander moved that Mr. Hill be required to put in his testimony when Mr.

Coleman had none to oiler, and thiB order was finally made. He also gave notice that he would move at the proper timo to rule out all evidence touching the 15 per oeut. contracts. Mr. Coleman asked if tho committee intended to summon Mr.

Bliss. Tho Chairman replied that they must first catch their hare. Tho commltteo did not know where to find Mr, Bliss. Adjourned till Monday. A CLEVER CAPTURE.

No. 4. SC and 33 Fulton tr4f Desperate Riding to Beat a Jfavorito at Brighton. A Day or Excitement ami Big Dividends at tho Beach, at Saratoga and fit Monmouth Park. A Great Season for the Backers of tho Dark Ones Barney Aaron Disqualified at Brighton and his Jockey Ruled Off Ganymede, Cooper, Disdain, Ben Thompson and Centennial the Winners Bootjack Beaten by nn Outsider and Barnes Almost Walks Over for the Travcrs Stakes at Saratoga The Racing at Monmouth Yesterday was a day of excitement on tho Brighton Beach track.

In three of tho six raccB out. eiders again won, and the backers of tho favorites wero correspondingly slaughtered. Joe Cooper's success In the nine furiong selling race was the first grand tumble. Bonairotta was tho favorite, Joo Cooper selling iu the field. Bonalrct ta could not run up to her form, finishing third, and mutuals paid $139.75.

Lytton was likewise favorite in tho mile dash, Disdain tho winner selling tntho field and getting off badly at tho start aB woll. Plungor was prime favorite in the seven furlong dash, Barnoy Aaron second and Centennial third choice. The two made a deaporato race of it from Btart to finish. The three only wero in tho race coming down tho stretch, Contennial on the outside, Plungor in tbo middle, Barney Aaron insido, Hondorson crowded tho other two toward tho outsido, repeatedly fouling Plunger, and the three horses finished almost against tho judges' stand, Barney Aaron and Centennial almost head and head, Plunger a head further back. Whatever chance the favorite had to win was destroyed by Henderson's foul riding.

That ho would have won If not interfered with is probable, as tho closeness of tho finish showed. As tho horses crossed tho lino, Barney Aaron on one Bide and Centennial ou the othor wero nearly on even tonus, Plunger iu tho middle back by the length of his nose. Actually, in tho opinion of two of tho judges, Centennial was a trifle in front of Barney Aaron. Tho third judgo thought tho pair on even terms, thoy having thus caught his eye. But this question did not como up for actual decision.

As to tho ropeated and palpable fouls perpetrated by Henderson on Barnoy Aaron there was but ono voice. Tho first and plainest duty was to disqualify Barnoy Aaron, no matter where ho finished. That was at onco dono. Tho next was to rule Honderson off tho track for his reckless work and that was next promptly agreed upon. When Conkling, tho rider of tho favorite, presented himself beforo the judges, palo and crying, he was asked if lie had posted his $25, and answering in the affirmative, was told to retivo, as tho judges had seen enough.

They wanted no statement from him nor from Henderson. Tho crowd had gathered around tho stand, and for the first time this season tho senseless cries of Foul resounded. With the disqualification of Barney Aaron, Centennial was first aud Plungor second. Tho numbers were thus exhibited, and then, with qnito as much exhibition of folly tho crowd applauded. In neither respect was it a display of feeling ou which tho authors thorcof ought to congratulate themselves.

The judges are in their place to render substantial justice in racos, and it is safe to assume that they will conscientiously no so, or attempt to do so, whether their action is displeasing or otherwise Henderson's reckless and do3perato attempt to beat the favorito is more reprehensible from the fact that ho seriously endangered tho lives of both Conkling on Plunger and Yetman on Centennial, both of whom aro lads younger and less experienced than himself. With tho whole track beforo him, Henderson crowded the othor two diagonally across tho course, and had there been a dozen jumps earlier, would hive finished by running them into tho Judges' stand. Of the other races little remains to be said. TopBy ran a fine race, beating a strong field for the Manhattan Hotel Stakes. Sho was justly a favorite and looked as fine as a fiddlo when uncovered for the struggle.

This is the third race of the kind selling awcopstakos sho has won this year two at Brighton Beach and ono at Sheepshead Bay. Tho Manhattan Hotel Stak03 was worth $700 net to the winner. Details follow GANYMEDE NO LONGER A MAIDEN. FrnsT Rack. One mile, for maidens of all ages.

Inventories of all condemned articles at the various General Brady Talks With Reluctance About he Came Near Leaving the Army In Disgrace and How he Saved Himself A Rumor to the Effect that the Cahlo Has Been Cut Other Matters of Interest at the Seaside. Special Correspondence to the Eagle. Conkv Island, July 21.

General Grant made hia appearance at the Island this aftornoon. Ho was accompanied by two gentlemen who piloted him along tho Island and took good care that ha should see everything worthy of observation. Tho ex Commander in chief looks exceedingly well, and movos about with much activity. Ho made Brighton Beach hia headquarters for an hour and t.ien traveled down to tho west end, exchanging salutations with Superintendent Morrow before taking an elevated railroad train. Tho least pretentious of tho shows at West Brighton had an interest for tho General.

He patronized two or threo of tho museums, aud remained longest where tho music was most deafening and distracting, and ho favored with a critical inspection a cago of monkoys close to the observatory, A crowd gathorcd about tho General and his friends, and they compelled him to beat a precipitate retreat. Ho headed for tho iron pior, en route for Long Branch, followed by a multitude and hurried forward by a call for threo cheers, which was rather dismally responded to. Twonty minutes later Roscob Conkling readied West Brighton. Ho attracted less attention and evidently thought there was nothing at tho island to justily his inspection. I caught a passing glanco of tho gentleman whoso exit from the Senate of tho United States was accomplished under such peculiar conditions.

Ho was far from resembling tho man who received an ovation in the Academy of Music a few years ago. His tread was as stately as ever, and his domcanor carried with it more than a Buggostlon of pomposity, but the SELF SATISFIED LOOK seemed like a rather arduous assumption. It was impossible to resist tho thought that it ho could have dropped into tho common place, so far as his carriago wa3 concornod, the change would have been a source of much relief. Conkling passed his successor as ho strodo along tho Brighton Beach piazza. Lapham appears to havo beou benefitted by his visit to tho Boasldo.

nis oyes are not so watery as they were, a circumstanco which does not justify tho malicious rumor started by the menhaden men. Thoy claim that he can see a meuhadou boat an indeflnito number of miles beyond the horizon, and that the festive moss bunker has haunted him persistently since ho loft tho capital. Tho Senatorial sub committee had nominal functions to perform to day. They waited for witnesses who failed to appear, at least two members of tho party having very cruel things to say about tho Eaoi.p in their interval of idleness. Tho attendance at tho beach to ulght was in excess of that of any provlous Saturday during tho present soason, the crowd at Brighton Beach being especially large.

Complications about tho sale of tickets on tho Brighton Beach Railroad are increasing, and considerable feeling is engendered, tho president coming in for abuse enough to satisfy every railroad man. I heard a rather ugly story about Mr. Gordon L. Ford this afternoon. It related to his treatment of a boy whom he suspected of designs upon tho company.

Tho lad had purchased a through ticket, but Mr. Ford was pe rsuaded that ho had bought a ticket only to Sheeps head Bay, intending to steal tho remainder of tho rido. If Mr. Ford did what ho is credited with having done, under tho circumstances, tho room for improvement In tho president's methods is beyond measurement. For two or throe nights past tho polico of Coney Island havo had A LITEM TIME OF IT.

They havo been raiding half a dozen houses, the characters of which will scarcely bear description. A number of arrests have been made, and Chiof of Polico McKano declares his intention of clearing out as foul a brood as ever evaded tho light of day. The fireworks display at Manhattan to night was iwrhaps the most successful exhibition evor given at the East ond. Alexandria capitulated in a perfect blazo ol pyro technical splendor. Gonoral Brady iB Btill at Manhattan Beach whoro ho is likely to remain for two or threo weeks longer.

He was good enough to talk about himself this aftornoon, an occupation in which ho is not in tho habit of indulgiug. Whon ho Is noproached upon any subject in which he has a jiersonal interest ho is usually as uncommunicative a3 an oyster. Ho is a Btout, healthy looking man of middle ago, cool as an Iceberg and without the faintest tingo of aiTe.ota tion. He has tho faculty of going directly to tho point, and is as blunt as politonesB will permit. Ho says nothing that is not interesting and nothing that is not meant.

Early In life tho General was a school teacher in Munson, Indiana. Tho class of sturdy young follows which ho taught made up their minds that theGovornor of Indiana could have their services, Brady being sent to Indianapolis when the first alarm of war was heard, with instructions to inform him that a company of Munson boys were at his disposal. He accepted the offer on the spot, displaying a promptitude not entirely acceptable to the man who had been elected captain. This gentleman's military ardor cooled off as quickly as it had tired up, and tho first lieutenant's frame of mind was similarly frigid. Tho result was that Second Liontonant Brady was eleotod captain.

Wliilo ho was iu tho army ho was NOMINATED AS STATE SENATOR, but he declined to run, preferring, as he says, to see tho business throngh." Ho.pama very near closing in dlsgraco his life as a soldier. When lio was at tho head of a company of skirmishers at Rich Mountain, General Rosecrans dashed up and informed him that ho had diverged from the lino of march. The General was not particularly choice in his language, and the captain told him so. Rosecrans was iu, no mood for trifling. Ho ordered Brady back, and notified the captain that he might consider himself under arrest.

The company which took the lead was headed by an officer, who fell with a bullet in his heart in less than half an hour. Brady made up his mind that, all things considered, he might just as well bo killed as not. Ilo speaks vory modestly about tho history of the day, but Frank Leslie's flics have a picture whioh stirringly represents what was described as a most heroic deed. Brady was credited with tho capture of a cannon iu the face of a storm of shell. Almost before the smoke of battle cleared away Rosecrans hot and impulsivo, but always generous, spoke to the captain in such terms as a soldier covets, and the mattor of tiio arrest passed into oblivion.

Promotion came and found tho Indiana school teacher a major at a spirited brush at Magnolia Church. There Brady officiated as Chiof of Staff, and thero tho horse ho rodo was almost literally torn to pieces. Whon Grant received tho Southern commander's sword, Brady was a Colonel. He retired with the rank of Brevet Brigadier General, and returned to Muusou. His admiring fellow townsmen placed him in the Held for a Conn Clerkship, but his opposing candidate had lost his health IN LIEUT PRISON, and he was more admired.

Tho general was defeated by about ninoty votes the first timo he over ran for public ofllce, being tho last. Beyoud this brief sketch, I could not tempt him and it is only fair to say that if he had had any idea of its being published he would ncvor have talked about himself. At tho close of tho conversation I said that bohio of It might interest the readers of tho Faoi.i "Well," answered tho General, I can't prevent you from writing what you please, but don't go into other matters. Yon know what I refer to, aud too much lias already been said about At a lato hour to night it was rumored that the cablo here had been cut, but Inquiry at the telograpli orticp at the Culver depot failed to substantiate the rumor. There were no oporators on duty, so that definite information could not bo secured.

Among other topics of discussion was a vory aggravated caso which occurred at tho Sea Beach Palace, and which will probably culminate In the arrest of an individual for whom the polico have been Industriously searching. A woman who fought for her honor figures in it, and, from all accounts, she fought to excellent purpose, her assailant carrying with him marks which would probably lead to Ms identification a year from now.

Temporary Improvement, with no Advance in Prices. Tnov, July 21. The general manager of a leading Iron company of this oity says the suspension of work during July has boon pretty general throughout the country, and has temporarily improved the condition of the finished iron market by reducing production.

This improvement, while it keeps tho market steady, does not advance prices. Tho genoral outlook is not at all encouraging, for while the demand for iron cannot becomplained of tho Bupply being greatly in excess of tho domand causes falling off in tho selling price. Tho selling price of finished iron is $12 por ton below last year's figure, wliilo the cost of production is about the same. Tho price of coal keeps up, and the cost of nearly all tho other materials entering into tho manufacture is as hivb. as last year, with tho exception of Iron ore.

Wo do not anticipate any unusual Btoppago this Summer. PROTESTING WITH A PISTOL. Ait Alleged Felonious Asoault in Kobo Ken. HcjBOKen, N. July 21.

BondcA Articles Exported and Keim portod Cannot be lie Entered for Slor agc. Washington, July 21. The Secretary of the Treasury to day addressed a lotter to tho Collector of Customs at Now York in regard to tho exportation of bonded whisky, of which the following is a copy Mossrs. Wood, Pollard of Boston, have addressed a letter to this department dated the nth in which tliny state, that a linn iu Boston exported somo months since in bond to Hamilton, Bermuda, a quantity of whisky of domestic manufacture which was returned to your port in January hist, where it now remains iu bonded warehouse. Thev have agreed with the holder to buy twenty l'ivo barrels of this whisky delivered in Boston in bond, and they ask what conrso mav lawfully ho taken in the premises.

G'uidcd by the opinion of the United States Attorney General, this departmont holds that articles, tho growth, product or manufacture of the United Statos, whon exported and reimported under section 2,500 United States Revised Statutes, are not within tho purview of our customs warehousing Bystem, and that they cannot lawfully bo stored under the laws creating that system. This will apply to distilled Bpirlts, tho manufacture of the United States, once exported and reimported undor the section above cited. Upon tho landing of sucli spirits collectors of customs will exact payment or a duty equal to tlve tax imposed by the Internal Revenue laws. They will not permit them to be entered for storage in bonded warehouses, and on failuro of other means to obtain tin duty they will seize and hold them for tho same and all fecal expenses of their action. In the case now boforc the department, and spoken of in the beginning of this letter, a warehouse boni luvi 'sometime since been taken in good faith, and under a mistaken but innocent belief in the legality and regularity thereof.

Beranse of that the spirits to which that 'bond applies may be dealt with as an exceptional case, in accordance with the condition of tho boud. Very respectfully, Signed Cuas. J. Foloer. Secretary.

A number of valuable horses have been stolen within tho last fow months in tho suburbs of New Yurk city, mainly along tha Hudson Uivor, and polico have vainly searched for tho thieves who wore supposed to have their headquarters in New York. Thu climax was reached when Walter vice president of the Scrauton Steel Works in Pennsylvania, reported to Inspector Byrnes on July 12, that on the previous night a very valuablo horse for which he had refused $2,000 had been stolen from his country seat at New Ilochelle, with a Brewster top wagon. Tho Inspector then detailed Detectives Haley and Ruland to search this city and Dctectivos MoGnire and Margin to ransack Long Island for any trace of the property or the thieves. The search was proscouted up till Thursday without success. Ou that day the two latter officers heard of a Brewster wagon that had broken down on a road leading to tho Lutheran Cometery beyond Long Island City, went aud saw it, and from private marks upon it identified it as tho Scranton property.

Tho horso was found in tho stable of a man named Davis, In East Eleventh street, New York.

Brady was convicted of robbing tho Windham Bank of Connecticut, of $20,000, for which ho received nino years' imprisonment. He 1ms also been convicted of numerous other crimes. Johnson was captured later aud is held as au accomplice.

JAMES MC DERMOTT AGAIN. The Story Jhat BSe Tclh About Having Been Shot At in New Yorlt Yesterday. Last night a ro.povt reached Brooklyn that James McDermott, of varied notoriety in connection with Stuart the defaulter, Fenianism and dynamite, bad shot in New York. One of tho Eaqi.k's reporters found out that "Jim" was lu Brooklyn, and discovered hihi in tho act of drinking at a well known hostelry near the Hall. What is this report about your being shot was the question put to him.

Oh," said McDermott, who appeared to bo uninjured, il there is no truth in it." But such a report has got around." Well," said he, look at IJiis." Removing his hat he showed his forehead, which was bumod with powder. That's all there is iu it." How did it happen 1" God knows I don't. I was in Ryan's liquor storo this afternoon with O'Donovau Rossa, Colonel Cava nagli and otheis, and I had just givon Rossa a check for himself." For dynamite Never mind for what the Eaole wants to know too much." Well, about the shooting." I was iu Ryan's place, that is in Chambors street, between Chatham and Center, waiting for Rossa to comeback. He had gono out to get the check cashed. All of a sudden a man caino up aud fired a pistol.

Yon can see how close if must have boon to me, for my forehead Is burned and some of the powder is in my hat. The bullet struck tiio wall behind the bar." The reporter subsequently learned that it was not a revolver that was used, but a blunderbns with a bell shaped mouth to the barrel. If that Is so Mr. McDer mott's head must bo away above proof. Anyhow, bis name has not appeared in a local newspaper for two days, and It look! as though something had to be dono to keep him beforo the public.

When the New York police were asked from Polico Headquarters in this city about the shooting the answer received was that they' had not heard of such an occurrence.
