C. STKDMAS CO. Waiting" for Moro Grips What Tboy Ilke John Hoagland, superintendent of transportation on tho bridge, told a reporter this morning that as soon as tho car grips were aU manufactured the railroad would bo opened for the public Tho gripB are boing made in this city by woU known machinists, but they aro ao far only three cars provided with them. There aro twenty ono care yet to bo supplied with grips. Mr.

Hoagland said that he had seen it stated aomewhoro that tho cables would wear out in a week, and that new grips would be required every seven days. Ho characterized this assertion as nonsensical. The inaincablo is guaranteed to last for years, and tho auxiliary chains aro also of a vory durable nature. The brcakmen aro being instructed in their new duties every day by Superintendent Hoagland, who says that when the cars are ready to mu the mon will bo thoroughly posted in their business. The grip is a very ingeniously constructed piece of machinery and has attracted tho attontion of Bovcral engineers.

Colonel Paine is tho inventor. The cabla rnns between two grooved wheels, ono being placed on either Bido of it. Whon tha Break is turnoJ a wire is wouud up which in turn pulls a lever around and presses a block of wood against tho insldo of each wheel. The wheels aro thus pressed against the cable and thoy begin to revolve as fast as tho cahlo runs. Tho harder tho wheel is pressed to the cable tho more the speed of tho car is increased.

The friction on tho cable will not amount to much. George W. Benjamin, of 199 DeKalb avenue, and Charles McLean, of 223 Raymond streot, wore arrested yestorday for intoxication. DIVULGED. The Jfome of the Betrayer of Miss Van Guilder.

Walter Bennett, a Son of ex City Works Commissioner George C. Bennett, Placed Under Arrest A Woman's Wrath Stirred Up A Statement from Coroner Boyle. The upper strata of society in tho outer wards received a severe shock this morning upon learning tliat Walter Bennett, the youngest son of ex City Works Commissioner George C. Bennett, had been arrested on tho charge of having aided and abetted Dr. Doty, Mrs.

Furlong and Tillie Hawthorne iu the criminal act which led to tho death of Miss Charity Van Guilder through medical malpractice. The accused is a handsome young man about 24 years of age. Ho is hill aud slim, with hazel eyes and chestnut hair. He is a pleasant conversationalist. He be como acquainted with the deceased through an elder brother who frequently visited Miss Hawthorne.

Ho was on his way to Coney Island yesterday afternoon, and was awaiting tho arrival of a train when ho was taken in custody by Officers Clayton and Lewis, llo was greatly excited when he learned tho serious chargo upon which he was arrested. Ho refused, howover, tc make any statement, simply denying his guilt. His arrest is due to a woman's rage. Tillie Hawthorne, who was tho intimate friend of tho deceased, and who went with her to the residence of Dr. Doty, and also to tho house of the nurse, Mrs.

Furlong, when the fatal operation was performed, is a sister of the wifo of Officer Clayton, at whose residence on Monroe street, near Broadway, tho unfortunate girl died. When Miss Hawthorne was taken to the Ninth sub Precinct Station House she did not know she was under arrest, and did not learn that sho was until Coroner Coylo informed her that she would havo to furnish $2,000 bail to awoit tho result of tho investigation of the Coroner's jury. Then for tho first time she learned of the unfortunate position in which her action had placed her, and her grief was pitiable. She could not provido bail, and consequently was locked up. When Mrs.

Clayton learned that her sister was under arrest, she told hcrhnsbaud to visit cx Commissionor Bennett and tell him that she desired him to furnish the bonds necessary for tho release of his sister Tho officer wondered why his wito hud made made this suggestion, but to please her, ho complied with it, and, as he exported, Mr. Bennett declined to become in any manner interested in tho case. When 'Officer Clayton returned he informed the wife that Mr. Bennett refused to comply with her request. In a rage sho exclaimed What docs refuse to furnish tlio bonds when his son is the cansu of all this trouble What do you mean 7 demanded tlio astonished officer' I moan just what I say that had it not been for Walter Bennett this trouble would not havo occurred." How do you know that this is true 1" demanded the officer, who was very iud'gnant when he learned tiiat his wife had hidden any facts from him.

Ilia wife then made a clean breast of the affair, and informed him that jns( before her death Miss Van Guilder told her that Walter Bennett had been theauthor of hor trouble. When she first found it out she went to Bennett and told him what hor condition was. Uo was greatly surprised to learu of her trouble, advised her to go away and remain iu some secluded place until her trouble, was over. She insisted upon going to some physician, and despito all bis protests remained firm in her decision. Finally, finding that ho could not induce her to alter her lnind ho suggested that sho should go to Dr.

Doty, whom ho had heard was an excellent physician iu such cases. Acting upon this advice sho went to this physician, with the results that have been already fully published. Officer Clayton, upon hearing this story from biB wifo, immediately went to Captain Dunu and informed him of it. Ho said ho had no ill will toward tho Bou nett family, aud was deeply grieved to do an act which he knew would prove a terrible blow to old r. Bennett: but lie had decided to do everything to bring the interested parlies to justico.

Ho felt that his own reputation war, at stake, aud ho desired to provo ho was innocent of nil knowledge of the affair. Captain Dunn iinimiliatriy sent Officer Clayton with Officer Lewis to see Coroner Doyle, who upon hearing the facts issued tho warrant for young Bennett's arrest. He will ho held to await the result of tho investigation by the Coroner's jury, which takes place to morrow. Dr. Doty iu his statement denies that he prescribed anything for the deceased save a few harmless pills and powders.

This morning Dr. Sizcr, who with Dr. Childs attended tho deceased for ten days beforo her death, appeared at tho Ninth sub Station Hcu.io and aid this statement of Dr. Doty was untrue thnt there was a liquid given to tho girl which ho aud Dr. Childs believed to be the strongest agent used in such cases, and that it was due to ilio debilitating effects of this drug more than to the operation that death ensued.

Sergeant ltudd sent Officer Kane to Officer Clayton's residence. He fouud thu bottle, but it was This corroborates Miss Hawthorne's statement, who says he prescribed a liquid. Tho bottle bears a label upon which is written "Sheet's Pharmacy, Myrtle avenue, near Ryerson street. Prescription No. 57,461." Beneath this is "7, 30, '83," meaning July 30, 1833, tho date it was given.

Dr. Doty lives on Ryerson street, near Myrtlo avenue another link in the cvidenco against him. Dr. Sizer also slated to Captain Dunn that lie, with Dr. Jai rott, of No.

433 Gates avenue, was attending a patient at the present time who was a victim of Mrs. Furlong, she having performed a similar operation in this case as in thot of Miss Van Guilder. Their patio.it was very low, but they still had hopes of bringing her through. The doctor declined to reveal the nauio of his patient at present. STATEMENT OF COIiONER DOYLE.

Coroner Doyle stated to au Eaole reporter to day how the information was obtained on which Walter Bennett was arrested. "I was at tho Ninth Sub Precinct Station yesterday afternoon," said the Coroner, "when Officer Clayton entered and told me, in presence of Captain Dunn, that his wife had told him that Walter Bennett was the canso of all the trouble. The officer had requested mo a short while before to admit Miss Hawthorne to bail in the sum of $2,000, and I consented. Clayton's wife, it appeared from what lie said, had requested him to go to ex City Works Commissioner Georgo C. Bennett, and ask him to go on Miss Hawthorne's bond.

Clayton did so aud Jlr. Beunott refused point b'ank to go on the bond. When tho officer went back aud told his wifo, tho latter felt sjre, and in a passion said, "So Mr. Bennett won't go ou Tillie 's bond 1 nia sou Wally caused all tho trouble, too." Mrs. Clayton theu told her husband how Miss Van Guilder had stated to her just before her death that Walter Bennett was tho cause of all tho trouble, and that he had advised her to go to Dr.

Doty aud fo be guided by him. Clayton and the Coroner next wont to see Miss Hawthorne. MISS TILLIE ALSO CONFESSES. When Miss Tillie was told by Clayton what his wifo had stated she said that now the thing had come out Bhe would tell all, otherwtso sho would suffer death on tho gallows beforo she would divulge a word. Miss Hawthorne then stated that the deceased had told hor that Walter Bennett was the cause of all tho trouble Tho deceased went to see Walter before she called on a physician, and be told her he would boo hor tho following evening.

He met her and advised her to go to Dr, Doty aud be guided by him. DE, DOTI IMPRISONED AND FINED FOR A SIM ILAB OFFENSE BEFORE. Drill Captain McKelvey heard that Dr. Doty had been indicted for a similar offense beforo, and wont to tho District Attorney's office to search tho records. Ho found that an indictment was found and numbered 181 on January 27, I860, Stephen Hayncs being the foreman of tho Grand Jury and Winchester Britton District Attorney.

Tho indictment accused Dr. Stephen B. Doty of having been guilty of malpractice in tho case of Catharine McGuer. Tho details are somewhat similar to those in the present case, except that Dr. Doty committed the offense.

The record shows that Dr. Doty was sentenced March 15, 1860, to pay a fine of $25, and also sentenced to imprisonment for forty days in tho Penitentiary. Dr. Zeizer called at tho Ninth sub Precinct Station House this afternoon and informed Acting Captain Dunn that Dr. Jarrett, of 435 Gates avenue, wasrattond ing a lady who was suffering from tho conBequenceB of treatment at tho hauds of Mrs.

Furlough. Drill Captain MoEelvey was detailed by Acting Superintendent Jowett to see Dr. Jarrett and ascertain the full particulars of the case. Dr. Zeizer told Acting Captain Dunn that Dr.

A pionio under the auspices of the St. Boniface Building Society connected with the St. Boniface School, on Willoughby street, near Duffleld, started off this morning from the school house to hold their festivities at Philip Koch's Bay View Park, Third avenuo and Sixtieth street, South Brooklyn.

Removals and Appointments Agreed. Upon by the Commissioners of Charities and Corrections Some Old Scores to be Wiped Out Commissioner Reeve's Share in the Transaction.

An nnderstanding which will result in a number of removals and appointments by tho Charities Commissioners of Wednesday next has been arrived at. All sorts of pressure has been unsuccessfully brought to bear upon the members of tho Board for many months past, tho difficulty boing to induce two of them to come to terms satisfactory to each other. In the earlier stages of Mr. Beovo's connection with tho Board it was claimed that he would lose no time in making a combination with ono of his Democratic colleagues, the inference being that he would got along excellently with Commissioner Kissam. These suppositions were justified by tho theory that a gentleman liko Mr.

lteeve, who had been so long and closely identified with politics would scarcely ho contont with the prlTilego of answering to his name when the roll was called. Humors to tha effect that Reeve and Kissam would work together got into circulation, tho general impression being that any agreement made in this direction would bo a good thing for some of tho Daggett Republicans who aro looking for a placo. Such a dicker would of course have been regarded as impossible had it not been known that Van Sicklcn and Kissam, while on vory friendly terms with each other, have differences of opinion about the advisability of making official changes. Mr. Yan Siclen is too conservative to alluw political considerations to iufluouca his voto, whilo Mr.

Kissam, on the other hand, believes that, other things being equal, Democrats Bhould have the preference. This distinction in their respective views has prevented as close an affinity as usually exiBts under bucIi conditions, and it was this that paved tho way for the belief that Kissam and Reevo would como together. There are good reasons for believing, however, that the Democrats would have little to gain and much to lose by sucli a combination, About nine tenths of the department employes are Democrats and it is rather difficult to conceive of a dicker between a Republican on the one hand and a Democrat on the oilier which would add to tho percentage of Democratic officeholders. It is an open secret, howover, that thero aro some Democratic names upon tho payroll which Mr. Kissam would willingly sea dispensed with even at tho price of substitutes about whose Republicanism no doubt is entertained.

Some of tho complications of last election day are not forgotten by Mr. Kissam, who was treated to a little double dealing in unexpected quarters. On Wednesday next ho will return the faor, having, as already stated, como to conclusions which will involve decapitations. No head of department will be disturbed for tho present aud but ono of the Penitentiary employes, so far as could he ascertained this morning, will lose his scalp. This is Jnqnillard, a Sixteenth Ward Republican, who owed his appointment to Jacob Worth and whose place will he taken by a political friend of Mr.

Daggett. Ill the wiping out of old election ncorcs two or three mon who have serve the pcoplo at the County Buildings for several years, will walk the oihcial plank. Commissioner Kissam, this morning, said that whatever removals might bo made, no employe who was recognized as being competent and faithful would lose his head. "Wherever changes occur," ho added, they will bo justified by considerations which will commend themselves to thoso who believe that business principles should prevail in thoadininisiralio.n of public matterj."

At the Erie Basin lies tho raft dubbed by Bhipping merchants tho "giant." It is not wholly unworthy or the title, since its cntraneo to a Brooklyn port establishes the success of an experiment of much moment to men engaged in tho importation of lumber in large quantities from othor ports. Somo tlmo ago a New York dealer purchased tho wood compoBing th raft, and consulted with a seafaring acquaintance as to tho quickest and most economical method of transportation. Tho plan of incorporating the logs in a hugoraft W03 suggested, and at first believed impracticable, but Captain Ellis, of tbo lug Cyclop, was willing to assume tho coutrol of the task. As novelty in marine transportation, the idea was profitable, if successful, and, at all events, deemed worthy of trial. Consent of tho con siguee being obtained, Captain Ellis procured tho services of tho tug Havilund, owned by Captain Gaily, anil both vessels proceeded to St.

Johns, N. late In July. Tho tugs wero chained together in eleven rafts of 500 logs each, aud thoso in turn wore incorporated into ono huge Host of 1,200 feet in Iongth aud 21 in width. Tha wood, which is principally pine, was greon, and its floating capacity was thereby lessened. Hence, with tho added weight of tlio chain which Is of half inch iron there appeared above tho water's surface less than one third of tho rafta.

On the 7th of August the tugs sot sail from St. John's for tliis port. Tlie weather favored tiie journey until ihe fourth day, when the expedition was forced to sees: shelter in Booth's Bay. Hero a stay of forty eight hours was made necessary, after which the vessels found favor with the clouieuts aud iu due time reached this city. The importance of the bc home's success lies in th fact that a saving of many thousands of dollars is mada certain by its practical application.

An old sailor, whom an Emilv. reporter met ou the dock this uioruiug, seem, ed both surprised and delighted bv the issue ot tho op elation. On this trip alono a saving of nearly $20,000 is effected, for with the old methods of transportation tha cost of importing such a large qunntity of lumhcl would bo $23,000, at hast, while the actual exponscB of the trip just completed is not over Lunilior merchants arc deeply interested in the landing of Iho raits, and it seems that the only drawback to the successful adoption of tho pla i thus proved practical is the fickleness of the weather. With pleasant wcnlhrr Ihere 1m uo fiiluY, ami gvi'at reduction, ill expenses. It is claimed, but an Atlantic storm certainly would cause an abandonment of rafts of similar ta that in the.

Eric Basin, uule. tho lives ot tho sailors weighed less in tho baLmee than the value of tho lumber, liven with such a suppositions consideration, there Fcems very little hopo of stteer.fully carrying out the plan now inaugurated, unless old Father Noptuna. gives his cordial assent and support. IAliOR AXD EDUCATION. 'ffiie United States Senatorial Committee Continuing Its luqciir The Senate sub Commit toe on Labor and Education resumed its labors to day in the Federal Building.

Senators Blair aud George wore tho only members present. Tho first witness was Frank Foster, secretary of tho Trades Union Federation, who addressed the oommlttea at aomo length. Ho said that the press had stated that tho workingmeu engaged In, organizing labor unions wore wrong iu stating that tha system would work great benefit to the laboring classes'. Hyniall Phillips, of Cincinnati, a delegato to tha Trades Federation Union, was next called as a witness. He said lie was a cigar maker, and was strong in bis denunciation of the employment of children In tho manufacture of cigars.

Ten per cent, of the children in Cincinnati wero engaged in this business. Thoy ranged from 8 to 12 years ot ogo and upwards and ho thought it a had stale of IhlngB that they should be so continuously employed as whon they grew to manhood or womanhood they wero not good members society, as they had hut little, if any, education. If Congress could pass a law to keep children of tender years out of the workshops ft would lie doing a great benefit to tho country at huge. Witness thought that the tlmo of labor should be generally established at eight hours. After somo brief but unimportant general testimony by John O'iirien, of the District of Columbia, William McClelland, of New York, of tho Amalgamated Soolety of Engineers, entertained tho committee with tho main features of that and the distribution of Itr various fuals to siek members, those out of work and tt widows and orphans.

In tho Stairway Proposed at FranUlin Square, New York, to be IBtiilt TnlU About Elevators at the Towers, Now that tho utility of tho bridge over tho East River has bcon practically demonstrated, tho question whether or not thcro should he provided for the thousands of persons dohitf business bctweon Franklin Square, Now York, and the river front a readier mcaus of access to it than nt present ex ir ts is being raised among thoso to whom it is of must concern. It is conceded that those aro tho persons doing business on the New York Bido and residing in Brooklyn, though thero aro doubtless many who either reside or do business in Brooklyn, below York stroot, and who have frequent calls to cross the river, to whom tho question is of somo consequence also. At present, if any of thoso referred to oa either side of tho river desire to cross by tho bridge, thoy must first walk hack to tho ontranco, and, on entering tho structure, retraco their Btopi to that oxtont and even iu fine weather tliis is a thing which nobody feels inclined to do, especially as it is uphill walking to tho entrance on both sides of tho river.

But inasmuch as the distance from tho entrance to tho water front i much greater on tho Now York sldo limn on this, and tho pcoplo on that Bide affected by theso facts far outnumber thoso similarly affected on this side, tho question is of proportionately greater consequence to tho first mentioned, a fact which scouib lo havo boon in tha minds of tho bridge authorities wheu thoy made an opening, now covered by a trap door, iu tho flooring of tho footway OVEIt FRANKLIN fiQTJAKS, New York. Tho intention evidently was, as intimated by a bridge employo recently, to uild a stairway at Franklin Square for tho accommodation of persons who would find It more convenient to reach the bridgo by an ontranco there than at tho approach on Chatham Bquaro and who now, becauso of the oxtra travol involved, pass down to the ferry histoid ('I Inking Hit bridgo. No stops have yot been taken on tho propcBcd Btairway, and probably nothing will bo dono In that direction until tho public demand for that accommodation shall havo presented itself in a way that wilt justify tho trustees In incurring tho oxpouso of tho work. Iu tho meantime ono frequently hears tho remark mado by persons on both sides of the river that, if there wero a way of roocldng tlio bridgo footway without having to travel back bucIi a distance, they would bo glad to avail themselves of it. Whether there aro enough of theso to justify the outlay ueceBsary to provido such a mcaiiB romains to be neon.

But a gen tloman in bnsincBs in tho region named in New York said! latoly that tho question waa ono of lively interest to a great many iu that vicinity, aud tho only reason that no public notice of tho fact had yet been given was because, as usual, "everybody's business was nobody's business." Further, ho said thai, thero wero many, perhaps thousands, of working girls ond mon who walked up and down tho New Bowery, and streets in that region, to and from tho lorries every day, who would uso tho bridgo if a means of access to It wero provided at Franklin Square or the tower, and ho thought that if tha ono cent fare is to bo continued this travel wonli add matorlolly to tho bridgo revenue. Speaking of Ml ontranco way at tho tower, it will ba remombored that there was considerable talk a couple of years ago oa that project, and it was that elevators were ta ba PLACED AT EACH TOWER, to bo mu by engines at tho foot of the lattor, by which foot passengers and others wero to bo taken up to tha bridge. Whother thcro was anything in it or not, tho public got tho impression that tho project was indorsed by tho bridge authorities, If It did not originate with them but a bridgo trustee said lately that it never had bceu considered in tho Board meetings, or seriously thought of by any of tho trustees, so far as knew mi a feaslblo thing, and ono that might in time bo duly considered or oven adopted by tho tiUBtces, nothing would ever bo dono in that tion until tho bridgo car Bj Btem had been porfectod ana found satisfactory and tho wholo question proaches had liceu settled ou both sides of tho river. Tha? meant probably that the llall of Itecoi wouia doing away with hro for foot passongora WOl need to bo aottlod flint, also. Well "Houta ou Corns." Ask for Weils' "Rouoh ON OOBNS." ISo.

A. "Vessel Attached t.y Marshal Tate. Suit for Divorce Against the Engineer of a Glass House The Troubles of the Krone Family General Matters. A libel was filed this morning in United Slates Marshal Tate's office against tho schooner La. balna, of Qnebco, for Balvogo.

The Laliaina was towed into port Saturday afternoon by tho British steamsldp Caledonia. Tho libelants, who aro Thomas, Charles and John Henderson, owners of the stcamor, Btata that tho Caledonia with a crew of thirty nine loft Now York with a geucral cargo of merchandise and 302 head of cattle on tho 23rd bound for Glasgow, and that on the following morning at about 8 o'clock tho crow sighted tho schooner Lahaiua a littlo to the east of Shiuuccock light, with a Hag of distress flying. Sho was at that time about oight miles distant. The steamer immediately set sail in that direction, and at 9 o'clock canio up with tho Lahaina and found her to be iu a waterlogged and sinking condition, havingahvrgo hole knocked in her starboard aide just above thoforerig giug which had been caused by her collision with another vessel at 2 o'clock on that morning, as the captain of tho steamship was informed by thoso on board of tho schoonor. Tlio forerigglng of tho schooner had been demolished, her bulwarks wore stove in and her cargo was washed away.

At this time sho had settled down Iu tho water and was at the mercy of tho winds and the waves. When the steamer reached the schoonor it is averred that tho captain of the latter stated to those on board that he desired to abandon tho said schooner and cargo, and bo taken off, unless the same could bo towed to a place of safety at once. Tho captain of the steam Bhip attached a four inch Bteel Jiawsev to tho schoonov and started with her in tow. Ho had gone but a short distance, however, when the hawser parted. A twelve Inch homp hawser was then attached, aud the schooner was taken in tow again, and subsequently arrived at Sandy Hook in safety.

The schooner, it was learned, was bound on a voyage from St John, Now Brunswick, to Philadelphia, with a cargo of laths. Tlio libelants claim that if the schooner had not been taken in tow she would have been a total loss. Tho steamship was worth $200,000 and tho cargo was worth $130,000. By reason of the services tho steamship has rendered the libelants claim that she has been considerably delayed in her passage, and ha3 consumed an extra amount of thirty tons of coalk beside incurring tho additional expense of employing a pilot. Tho libelants make a claim on tho ciivn rescued as salvage.

Marshall Tate attached the schoonor aud she is now lying with her cargo at Red Hook. A Suit and Cros Suit for Divorce. Mary Krone Bued' her husband for divorce and obtained a decree.

Mr.

Bell oppeared for tlio motion. Mr. S. D. for tho defendants, said that tho motion was to punish ihem for taking to tho station, which was a public right of which thoy could not bo deprived.

If the company had any privilege, it wassimply to take np passengers. Any ono had a right to employ any conveyance he might see fit to go to the depot, and to that extent the defendants asked that the injunction be modified. Tho question of contempt was fully answered by the papers. Judge Barnard You opon a way leading from a public highway to a railroad station, and you have a right to regulate it. Tho question is whether, ss a rnilrood company, it is not humid to furnish a convenient way to aud from the depot, and whether a man with a load of passengers has not a right to land tliom at the station.

Ctevmans Protesting Against tflie Sunday And Asking1 Mayor low to Help to Bring About a Change The New Drawbridge at Metropolitan Avenue and Grand Street. A Remonstrance to Commissioner Ropes. Pawnbrokers who Hare Not Taken Out Liceiiscs WilHaui II. Beard Going to the Pacific Slope Manhattan Beach Bail road Crossings The Cogswell Fountain. Sewer Assessment Confirmed.

City Works Commissioner Ropes was this morning visited by Supervisor Gednoy, who said ho acted as counsel for the Chapman estate aud for the Manhattan Beach Hallway Company, representing tho railroad corporation at the request of A. C. Chnpin, its regular counsel. He said he had called to remonstrate against tho widening of Grand strost at tho intersection of Metropolitan avouuo. The Common Council ia taking the preliminary proceedings or.

tho widening of tho street at that point, for tho purposo of constructing an approach to a bridge which is to bo built there. Tho sum of about $70,000 has been raised in tho building of tho bridge, aud it is the purposo of large property owners in tho immediate vicinity to ultimately extend tho branch of Newtown Creek, which runs up thcro. Tho Common Council has fixed a district of ossessmentfor the widening aud advertised for remonstrances. Counselor Geduey made the point that the property proposed to bo taken included a portion of tho property of tho Manhattan Beach Hallway Company, which was purchased upon a reservation deed that if it ceased to bo used for railroad purposes, it would revert to the original owners. Therefore, tho Common Council could not take land acquired under such a deed.

Mr. Geflney also said the Common Council laid out a district of assessment, whereas the statute under which the bridge was to be built provided that tho cost should be. a tax upon tho ciiy at largo. The courts had always hold that the approach to a bridge was a part of the structure, and therefore the cost of tho work could not be placed on afew surrounding owners. Commissioner Ropes said it was a great pity the city could not promptly enter upon the work.

When tho anthori ties supposed everything was going along smoothly some people who kept lagor beer saloons in tho vicinity and wero interested in property, intorposcd objections, that fact compelled tho authorities to tako the proceedings they had taken. Mr. Geduey said, in his judgment, thero would be no difficulty in acquiring tho land, provided the cost should be made a tax on tho city at large. He did not think that tho property ownors would then object. Tha Chapman estate, tho Manhattan Beach Company, the Xalb ileisch and a few othera did not want to pay all tho expense.

If you will tolk with Assistant Enginoer DeMerritt of this department," said Commissioner Hopes, "who will recite tho interview he has had with various prop, erty owners there, which has led up to tho present proceedings by the Common Council, why then you will bo onlightened." Mr. Gedney went to Mr. DeMerritt's office, but that official was confined to his homo by sickness. Engineer Do Merritt was enabled late in tho day to come to his office for a short time. He said that tho question was whether the approaches should be built, ono each on Grand Btrect and Metropolitan avenue, which would almost entirely block out tho adjoining property, leaving but asmall space in which to approach it, or whether a triangular plot of ground should ba secured iu tho center of the two thoroughfares on which to bmld a wide approach.

The removal of tho railroad trarks would bo caused by the latter method also of a saloon there, but would do no other damage. To erect tho piers on tho two street would causo injury to much dock property. It would be manifestly unfair to charge tho cost of constructing tho bridge on the city at largo, as no other Btction would bo honofited. GERMANS rnOTESXINO AGAINST THE SUNDAY LAW. Mayor Low, who returned to town to day, received a visit from a delegation of Germans representing various organizations iu tho city, who presented him with a communication protesting against the Sunday law as it now exists and against tho tyranical and partial manner in which it is enforced." The subscribers set forth that they desire to consult with his Honor as to tho best method to bo pursued to bring about the excitement of a more humane and common sene Sunday law aud a moro uniform and impartial obsrvance and enforcement of tho same." Tho protestants furthor say "It is a well known fact that the Sunday law, as it now exists, is strictly and punctiliously enforced within tho city, wliilo at all points in its vicinity, as for instance all along the seashore of Long Island and in alu03t all immediate towns and villages, the Sunday law is totally disregarded, in many instances under the direct supervision of tho local authorities.

The natural consequence of the strict enforcement of this law iB that the laboring classes who have been toiling to earn their daily bread by tho sweat of their brows for tho six preceding days cannot upon the seventh day find that recreation and refreshment within the city to which they consider themselves and to which they undoubtedly are entitled." Being hampered and sometimes utterly prevents from enjoying themselves within a city which presents so many beautiful sito and natural advantages, rendered almost uugratory by an idiotic and barbaric Sunday law, and knowing that within easy reach sbnilar sites and equally numerous opportunities for recreation aro presented to them without tho restriction and annoyances of tho Sunday law, thoy flock in uncounted numbers to the seashore and iutervening places, and each Sunday witnesses an immense exodus from our beautiful city to enrich grasping railroad monopolies and other to carryjfrom the cit the moneys which thoy aro not permitted tospond on their holiday. By these causes all tho industries of our city are seriously affected, aud the evils against lvhich the low is directed thrive more luxuriously than ever, if not' within tho city, still under and through tho patronage of its inhabitants, but are aware tnat it is neither within your province to influence legislation nor to direct the execution or enforcement of a Sunday law, but knowing that you havo directed tho government of our city with a success which has surpassed all reasonable expectations, and fully convinced of the fact that you aro strenuously opposed to all narrow minded fanaticisms, especially where they result iu direct injury to the interests of our city, wo hereby tako the liberty to solicit your co operation in tho objects for tho furtherance of which we have formed our union.

MANHATTAN BEACH T.AHJtOAl GATES. After the Board of Aldermen had adopted a resolution calling upon the Manhattan Beach Hailroad Company to erect gates at all thu street crossings of its road within tho city limits, and the resolution had been presented to the Mayor, the latter wroto to President Corbin asking whether tho company would not erect gates without tho mandatory action of the Common Council. President Corbin's reply was to the effect that he thought the resolution was too sweeping iu its character, as gates were not necessary at all tho city thoroughfares crossed by the road. Ho intimated, however, that he would ho willing to erect (jates at such points where the travel was sufficient to warrant them. Subsequently the Mayor and Alderman Ormshee, of the Fifteenth Ward, who had proposed the action of tho Common Council, visited the different points where the tracks cross, ami the consequence was a decision to ask the company to 2laee gates at tho crossings at Lori raer and Palmetto streets and Graham avenue aud to repair those at Metropolitan end Myrtle avenues.

If the company agree to this the mattor will probably bo dropped there. WILLIAM H. ISEAHD'S TRIP TO THE PACIFIC SLOPK. Mr. William II.

A "CLINCHER" IN THE JAMES CASE. Hard Cuclc Said to Have Been the Causo of His Baclislidinjr. Kansas Citv, August 27. A special dispatch to the 7 fines from Gallatin, dated ycste.rdav, eavs "The day hero has been a quiet one, nd marked only by a discussion on tho status of the Frank James case. The impression is genoral and growing that Dick Liddoll's testimony will prove a clincher 'if corroborated in the majority of its details, and this the prosecution claims it is prepared to do.

Liddell'e story has been confirmed as to the events in Tennessee by witnesses from that State, but tho defense will make strenuous efforts to break clown his testimony. James received a good many callers in tho jail to day. The belief is pretty general hero that Frank James really intended giving up train robbing nnd wan earnest in seeking an honest llvebhood near Nashville. The capture of Bill Ryan, however, alarmed the ontire gang, and Jesso undoubtedly persuaded Prank to go back to the old business. Hard luck at farming possibly also influenced Mm in this direction."

A Sash and Blind Factory, a Feed Store and Seventeen Houses Earned Good Work by tho Firemen A CJonttagratlon Which Threatened an Entire Block.

About one o'clock this afternoon an alarm of fire signoled the apparatus to tho station, oornor of Franklin and Atlantic aTflhues. The first company to arrive fonnd the sash and blind factory of F. J. Smith, 1,050 Atlantio avenue, in flames. The factory is about midway in Atlantio avenue, between Grand and Clas son.audthe building, which was a two story frame, was filled from top to bottom with seasoned woods, which formed the most oombnstlblo sort of material.

Beforo a stream of water could be got into play tho factory was enveloped iu a sheet of fierce finmo, which shot into the air fully a hundred feet. Acting Chief Smith, of. the Eastern District, arrived on tho ground in time to see that the fire companies present wero of no use to cope with tho work set bofore them, and a second alarm was sent, and filially a third. With tho first alarm came district ongineors Frost and Cunningham, and at tho second engineers Miuarl and Farley took charge, and it was not until theu that the firemen wore able to get control of tho flames. East from the sash aud blind factory was a row of frame buildings running clear to the corner of Atlantio avenue.

They were mostly two story structures, and were all dry aud dilapidated. Thoy wore Just like so much tindor to tho flames, which swept through them with astor 'ling raptdity, and fanned by a steady breeze soon converted them into one moss of charred and Bmoking ruins. From tho corner of Atlantic avenue, and running from that avenue to Pacific street, was a row of tumble down frame dwellings, two stories in height, and most of them occupied as stores on the firat floor, and as living and Blcoping rooms upon tho second. These houses were mere shells, and in ono sense it is a good thing that thoy were swept away, for such buildings are extremely dangorouB in a neighborhood where tho property is covered with valuable dwellings. The fire spread to tbVi row, and they wont liko bo much paper.

Thcro was the most intense excitement at this time. All the tenants in tho row were busy throwing out articles of furniture into tho street, and one side of Classon avenuo was literally covered with all sorts of household stuff, the most of it broken hi tho hurry to save it. Men were cursing at their ill luck, women were shrieking for their children for fear they were missing or in donger everybody was jostling ovory ono else in their excited efforts to save what they could, and for somo littlo time tho front of theso shanties presented A SCENE OF THE MOST INTENSE EXCITEMENT. Next to tho sash and blind factory wero tho stables and Bhed belonging to the Chichester estate, and which aro occupied by Jackson Schnltz, who manages the estate All the property destroyed belongod to it. Tho stables first caught Are from tne factory, and then the roof of the shed went, passing tho fiameB to tha Btablo of John Fink's coal yard, 1,054 Atlantic avenue.

In this coal yard, which occupied tho entire center of the upper portion of the block, was over six hundred tons of coal, aU of which caught rapidly, and the flames from the burning mass set fire to another row of two story frame houses which fronted on Pacific street, and burned the rear portion all to cindors. Only the front was Haved. Traveling from Finks coal oflice and stables, the next building to catch was a soda water manufactory, occupied by Frederick Eeltman. It was entirely consumed. Then the place on tha corner was the liny and feed store of Dennis Michael May, and from this placo the row of tenements in Classon avenuo caught.

The iUemeu worked woll, aud it is only duo to their effosts that tho houses on the ppposito side of Pacific street, aud tho brick dwelling housos, which wero iu the rear of Fink's coal yard, and joined the frame row which wa3 partially destroyed on tho Pacific street side, wore not seriously damaged. Owing to tho class of buildings burned, the damage is not so very great, but the poor people who inhabited tho dwellings aro the real losers, most of them having lost nearly all they had, and very few wore insured. The fire stopped tho running of the rapid transit trains on Atlantic street, and iu fact delayed all traffic on both tracks for over an hour, THE LOSSES aro as follows The entire property, with one or two exceptions, is owned by the Chichester estate, and tho damage is probably nbout $10,000. Whother or not it is insured could not he ascertained. W.

J. Smith's loss on his stock in the sash and bliud factory is Ho owned tho building, which is a total wreck. He is insured. John Fink's coal yard was damaged about $1,000 to stock and buildings. The loss is covered by insurance.

A fire broke out nt 11:20 o'clock this forenoon in the buildings Nos. 533 and 537 West Fifty sixth street, Now York, which are occupied as a stair factory. An alarm was sent from the box in Fifty seventh street, butweon Tenth aud Eleventh avenues. When tho firemen arrived the flames had made much headway and were rapidly eating their way through the building. Bi cond and third alarms wero at once dispatched to Headquarters followed by an ambulance call.

Clouds of thick smoke filied the burning structure aud the workmen had much difficulty in finding egress to the street. At noon the firemen are Btill vigorously at work, endeavoring to f.uuduo the flames, The losses cannot be estimated as yet. It is expected they will bo heavy. MRS. CROCKER'S PRETTY MAID.

'ffalscii From a Dissolute Ftiinilj and Uivcn a Chance to Reform, Slicltelaji kcs anto Slier Old Habit. Emma Vogel, quite a pretty girl of seventeen, was before Justice Massey this morning to answer a charge of intoxication. She was picked up in tho hits on Flushing avenue, Friday nigl.t last, by Officer McOormack, iu a stato of intoxication. The officer found tier just in time to save her from the assaults of some of the members of the Flushing avenue gang. Ho placed her In a wagon and took her to the station She did not come out of her stupor until the following morning.

He complied with their desire.

ANOTHER SUICIDE. A Despondent News Bcnler Cnts Min Tlcroat From Ear to Ear Melancholy Caused by tlio Death oi Hit Wile tho Reason for the Iiai.li Act. Joseph X. Gillick, 48 years old, committed suicide last night, by cutting his throat with a razor, at his residence, No. 410 East Eleventh street, New York.

His deed was discovered at 7:30 this morning by his children who found him lying in bed in a pool of blood with his throat cut from ear to ear. Tho bloody razor with which the act had been committed was lying beside him. The body was already cold and rigid. The unfortunate man evidently killed himself soon after retiring. Gillick was an Irishman and had been in this country a number of years.

He occupied rooms in the base mont at the above placo. Ho made a living selling newspapers. Ha kept a stand at the comer of Second avenue and Twelfth street. Two' months ago his wife died leaving him with four children, tho eldest a lad of sixteen years. Gillick took his wife's death much to heart and became despondent.

He then manifested a desire for drink, which Ma friends tried to dissuado him from. It was no use, however, tho temptation soon got the better of him, and of lato he had drank to excess. The coroner was notified. FOR SHODTISG A MAN IN THE THIGH. A Colored Man Held br Justico Walsh to Await the' Action of the Grand Jury.

William Lewis, of 919 Atlantic avenue, and John Howe, who lives a few doora above him, aro colored men who have entertained no very friendly feeling for each other for somo time. On tho 13th instant Lewis heard that Howe had beaten his son, and taking heavy stick ho started out to find him. The latter was walking np and down in front of Lewis' door, and as soon as ho saw Lewis turned round and faced him. "What did you strike my son for Lewis demanded, raising Ids stick in a threatening way. The only reply that ho got was a blow in the face from Howe, who also knocked the stick out of his hand.

Theu the two clinched, and during the straggle Howe drew a pistol and fired, the bullet passing through tho fleshy nartof Lewis' thigh. Ho was taken to the hospital, and Detective Lonehan, of the Tenth Precinct, arrested his assailant. These facts were sworn to before Justice Walsh thiB morning, and he committed Howe to jail In default of $1,000 bail, to await tho action of the Grand Jury. SHOT AT BIS FATHER. Joseph It.

Judge Barnard Says it is a Case of Frand. The Court Satisfied that tho Security Given by the Plaintiff is Manufactured. In tlio suit of Thomas J. Noblet against tho Rev. R.

H. L. Tighe, to recover $25,000 damages for alleged false imprisonment and the allncatiou of tho affectiomrof tlu plaintiffs motion was made this morning by the defendant to increase the security given by the plaintiff on procuring an order or arrest against the defendant, or for such other relief as the Court might deem fit. Tho plaintiff attempted to get a postponement on tho ground that Cornelius L. Allen, one of the attoruoys for tlio was acting as County Judge of Washington County, and Harry A.

Allen, the other member of tlio firm, was sick and iu hospital. JudEO Baruard, before whom tho motion was mado, asked for tlio facts. Mr. Wallace, in behalf of Mooro, Low Sanford, counsel for the defendant, replied that the persons given as security did not exist. It was a most outrageous case, in which the character of a clergyman of high standing was basely attacked.

Tho plaintiff ought to ho hold to strict account, for it was evident that the bail was fictitious. Eight days' notice had been given of this application. Tho gcntloman appearing for Messrs. Allen moved to dismiss, on the ground that tho remedy asked for was not iu the code. It fixed tho undertaking at $230 and the court could not increase it.

Judge Barnard That conies up on tho merits. Do tho papers show thnt there are no such persons as these bondsmen Mr. Wallace repliod that they did. Mr. Thorncley, tho attorney of record, deposed that Mr.

Tigho was arrested and gave bail. Ou the plaintiff's undertaking appeared tho names of Conrad Fleischman, of No. 416 Onion avenue, aud Owen Kennedy, of No. 174 Putnam avenue, Brooklyn. Tho linme of neither is iu the directory, aud doponont bad failed after diligent search to find any such persons.

No. 350 was tho highest number on Union avenue, and no tradesman near knew any such person as Floischmau. At No. 174 Putuam avenuo resided Edwin Belcher, who had lived thero for twclvo years nn.t owned tho house. During that time no such person as Owen Kennedy had resided there.

On being inferred to Thomas Kennedy, a saloon keeper at 100 Putnam avenue, ho said the only Owen Kennedy iu this city was his brother, and he was in tho United States Army and had not been in Brooklyn for several yen's. Judge Barnard I will mako an order that tho plaintiff give security in $1,000. It looks very bad. If tbo plaintiff's lawyers have dono this, they ought to be attorneys, no lawyers. As it appears to mo now, it is a caso of fraud.

My opinion is that there aro no such men, Iu a suit this kind $1,003 is littlo enough to cover costs. The security must bo given with notice. Mr. Wallaco said ho thought tho case was ono in which a bench warrant should bo issued. Judge Baruard The trouble is to find tho men.

If it is trno, somo ono ought to ho punished. If the attorneys havo set up two unreal parties, tho attorneys ought to go. I see nothing olso that you can do except to apply to a magistrate for a warrant for thoso uiou or to tho General Term to disbar theso attorneys. PEDDLERS PURSUED. Arrest oC Xlireo Men For Selling: Without a License A in the Eastern Ilintrict Followed uyaSiicccsisilul Capture.

At about 9 .30 o'clock ou Saturday night throe men were observed peddling, on Grand street, near Union nveniie, with a horse and wagon. Upon Officer Bowes, of tho Sixth Precinct, asking them to show their liccnso, they said that they had none, and signified their intention of Belling. Bowes thon called upon Officer Hopping, of the Sixth Precinct, to aid him ill arresting tho felloivN. Bowes took rtrnrgo Df ono of tbo mon, leaving the other two with tho horse and wagon to Hopping. Instead of submitting, however, Hopping's prisoners whipp.

np the horse, and starting off at a brisk pace soon left the officer out of sight. Hopping quickly proceeding to tho Btatiou house gave tho alarm. Officers Bowes and Weisor then took a Grand street car, and starting down town came up with tho prisoners, who, k'ing rid as thoy supposed of further interference, were busy selling again. Men and cart were taken to the station houso and aro held for examination. MONEY MARKET.
