It has been learned from statements made at Chambers street Hospital, New York, that the man who is supposed to have committed suicide by shooting himself is Anthony Battoll, aged 40 years, who resided at the corner of Harrison and Greenwioh streets, Battoll expired this morning without making a statement. From tho timo ho entered the hospital ho remained ln an unconscious condition. The caso is surrounded by a deep mystery, and suspicions ol homicide are entertained by tho coroner. Deputy Coroner Conway said that he had refused to grant a certificate of death because he had not received the statements of the deceased's relatives and that he was not satisfied with the information he had obtained. A thorough investigation will bo made.

His wife and brother in law called during the morning, but could give xto reason for the suicide. OFFICER MULREAN'S FATAL CLUTCH. A Runaway IBoruo Drop Dead While the Policeman Hold the Bridle. Yesterday afternoon John MoKearney, 19 yeara of age, was driving a horse aud wagon for his father (who is a pedler and resides in Hamilton avenue), ta Third avenue near Thirty second street, when one of tho motors which go to Fort Hamilton frightened tho animal, which started off at full speed. Officer Mulrean, of the Eighth sub Precinct, saw the runaway approaching and bravely ran to the frightened animal's head, grasped tho lines and stopped him.

While tho policeman was still holding on to the bridle and headgear the horse quietly dropped down and died. No harm was done to the wagon or Mr. McKearney. The horso was owned by Mr. Georgo Allen, a livery stable keeper at 350 Court street, who hired it to Mr.

McKearney. HEAYY BRIDGE TRAVEL. Since the bridge railway went into operation the cars never carried so many people across the river as thoy did thiB morning. The fog being so thick, it seemed as if few people cared to venture across the river in tho ferryboats, so they resorted to the Paine cablo rood. The cars worked well and there wore fow delays.

Homo ono cried out Let them go ahead Then Gallagher said I'm second for one of them, and I waut to co It fought out." McKoou said, in order to stop tho fight, whloh the boys sooiuod anxious should ceaso I'll wrestle you, Gallagher, for a fall, for drinks for (ho crowd." It was some) timo after this when McKeon aud his two friends went into tlio saloon and had drinks.

Ho heard Gallagher tell his wife to raise a muss so as to get thorn out. Slio detliiicJ to do this and OnlJinrhci' and his son went up to her behind tho bar and encouraged her. They went up stairs and soon afterward tlio son came back and told his mother to do what she bad told and to do it quickly, as that was her time, 'llion ho locked the Grand street door and left tho small door on Bushwlck avomic open. "WHICH SHALL I STIMKE When Gallagher first told her to mako trouble, she said, "which shall I striko He replied they wero uot customers of his anyhow. Sho said that Mr.

Graham aud Dr. Granteu had big influence at tho factory, and would got her sou discharged. "Then," said McKeon, "an I was a laborer and of no account, I got it." Attof he heard this, he ivaital down to bo near bis friends, and he leaned with his back to the bar, Mrs. Gallagher said "Mae, I want to speak to you," and with that she slabbed him in the head behind of at tho top of the right ear, with oitiier a knifo or au ico pick. Ho saw her afterward washing the weapon.

"Is that what you wanted to say to mo?" McKeon asked, and she replied "Yes. 1 wished you to keep your head still." Ho held his handkerchief ami hands to tho wound to sti.p the Mood, which flowed freely. Mrs. Gallagher ran from behind tlio counter, laid hold of his legs ami tried to push him over. Graham seized her aud Gallagher came down stairs and said they had better send for a doctor or MoKoon would bleed to death.

For the past year or more a bitter war has boon waged within tho ranks of tho Thirteenth Ward Democratic Association between tho opposing factious led by Messrs. Hayes, Voege, Brown and Connor on the ono side and Messrs. Davis, Ferris, nubbs and Courtney on the other. The Hayes olomont was successful by small majorities at the primaries, excopt when Coun ty Clork Tliursby beat thorn for delegates to tho local conventions a year ago. The Davis Ferris faction claimed tliat thev did not get fair play at the association meetings, and secured tlio Republican nomination for Alderman at Large from Mr.

John F. Stas, ono of their adherents. They gavo a warm and energetic support to Mr. Sins at tlio polls on election day. At the last meeting of the association, held on tho 15th charges of treachery at the pollB wore mado against about forty members of tho DaviB Hubbs faction, aud acommlttea of investigation was appointed, Mr.

I hare no time to waste aud no favors to ask, and only hope I receive somo notice of the meeting at which roy expulsion will be moved.

H. B. Davis. A BREEZY INTER VIEW. "Well, Mr.

Davis, what are you going to do about It asked an Eagle reporter. There are about torly ot as JncJndod in the general indictment.

We want fair play, ana if wo can not get it we will form a new association and wo have assurances from nearly every ward lu the city that similar organizations will be formed in tha various wards by men who have been treated like us." Then you have been conversing about the matter with men in other wards 1" Yes, and I And lots of Democrats even clamoring for the organization of a new General Committee."

Wanted" by Mayor low and City Works Commissioner Ropes Ob the Scheme of the South Ferry and Sen sido Direct Transit Company Proof of the Consent of the Property Owners RequiredThe Permission of the Common Council Necessary to Avoid Litigation. The City Canvassers and tho llhiuchart Case Uncle Dan's Birthday. Mayor Low this afternoon sent the following reply to the request of tho South Porry and Seaside Direct Transit Company, that tho Mayor and City Works Oommisslouer ahould aot in tho mattor of Hb application for permission to construct a tunnel road under Atlantic avenue from tha ferry to a point between Third and Fourth avonues, and a depressed or "cut" road thence in a southwesterly direction io the city Hue Mayob'b Office, Brooklyn, N.

November 21, 1883. Ijeieis if. Brown, President of South Ferry tnirf Seaside Direct Transit Company: Sin I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your communication of 37th of October, 1883. in effect making request on behalf of your company that the Mayor and the Commissioner of City Works ahould reconsider their previously expressed not to act without order from the courts, under Chapter 618 of tho Laws of 1881, ln the mattor of your application for approval of route. Since receiving this letter the Commissioner of City Works and myself have again given tho matter very careful consideration.

Last year wo declined to act under tho Law ot 1881 referred to, excopt by order of the Court, having the impression that it was undesirable, first, because wo wero unwilling to soom to act in a matter of so much lmportauco independently of the Common Council aud second, because we feared that any consent gIVon by ns under that act would lead to litigation up to tho Court of Appeals, and thus itself prove not a help but a hindrance to rapid transit, by delaying tho building of any road. At that time we were under tho impression that tho consent of the Common Couucil alone would stand unchallenged, and would bo of Itaslf sufficient for your needs. For this reason we suggested that you obtain that consent rathor than ours. Our present study of this question, however, leads us to conclude that tho only way for you to avoid all litigation aB to tho sufficiency of your consent to the uso of such streets as you may need, is for you to obtain both consents, that of the Mayor and the Commissioner of City Works, under Cbaptor 518, Laws of 1881, and that of the Common Council as usual, having both such consents no question can arise. Having oithor one alone would involve the possibility, not to say the probability, of litigation.

Whon first Btudyiug Chapter 518, Laws of 1881, it seemed to us only to give to tho Mayor aud the Oommisslouer of City Works an option to con sent on behalf of tho cily as the caso where the ownoi of a majority of property upon any street had already consented to a road. Now, howevor, tho impor'ance of the act appears to us iu tho last clause, which says And tbe authorities aforesaid aro hereby givon respectively the control of such streets and highways in the caaes provided aud for the aforesaid." It would appear, therefore, that whore a majority of tbo property owners along tho line have given their consent to any railroad, tbe control of tbe streets for the purpose of consent on tho port of the city ia ac tualiy taken from tho Common Couucil by this statute of 1881, and is lodged in tlio Mayor and Commissioner of City Works, so that tho concurrent consent of the Common Council is important iu such caso only to avoid possible litigation as to the constitutionality of tliclaw of 1881, "Under those circumstances tlio Commissioner (i City Works and myself doom it our duty to consider your application under cbaptor 518, Laws of 1881, and tho more so as you havo made similar application to tho Common Council. It will ho necessary for you, therefore, toconfer withthc Corporation Counsel a to wht shall constitute satisfactory proof to the Commissioner of City Works and myself that you come under the terms of Chapter 5J8, Laws of 1SJ1, in actually having the consent of tho majority of property ow along tho line of your proposed route. As boon as you establish the fact to our satisfaction, wo will naino an early day for a hearing upon the merits of your application, and will continue toiittend to the matter diligently until a conclusion Is reached. Very respectfully, Setii Low, Mayor.

UNCLE BAN'S BIKTHDAY ANNIVERSARY. Thai veteran public official, Dauiel L. Northup, familiarly known as Undo Dan, celebrated bis birthday anniversary yesterday and entered upon his 07th year. For the past twenty nine years ha has boon in the public service. 3Li was lli first Auditor of tho City of Brooklyn after the consolidation, and was Water aud Sewerage Commissioner for eleven years thereaftor.

He then became Secretary of tho Department and holds that pos.ition to day. Uncle Dau'K knowledge of the many and varied laws in reference to this branch of tho service of the airairs of tho department gonerally Is sue.li as to make bis service, of great value to the city. Ho enjoys widespread porsonal popularity and hosts of fih'nds congratulated him upon yesterday's event. Ho retains excellent health and appears much younger than ho Is. THE THIHD AVENUE SEWER EXTENSKW.

The contract for the construction of tlio extension or the Third avenue sowor from Twenty eighth to For ty ninih street, pursuant to an act of tho Legislature, was recently awarded to Seth L. Koenoy at tho amount of his bid, $101,175, Soon afterward Mr. Keene'y notified Commissioner Ropes that ho had mado a clerical mistake in preparing his bid, and should bo compelled to refuse to take tho ooutraot. Ho said the orror was committed "in making up tho totals upon which his bid was based." Tho only courso left open to Commissioner Ropes was to award tho contract to J. P.

Cranford, tho next lowest bidder, at $179, which lie has just done. Commissioner Ropes says that each proposal received contains a provision that in the ovent of tho refusal of the bidder to accept the. contract, if it shall be awarded to him, ho and his sureties arc responsible for tbe amount of tho difference between bis bid and that of the next lowest party. Mr. Keeuey points out tliat tlio mistake ho made is cluneal and apparent on the faco of his bid.

If, bo says, be should have written cents for dollars, through orror, he contends the city would not bo justified iu holding liim to the mistake, for no individual would think of doing what would b3 a wrong as betweon mau and man, THE CITY CANVASS. Tho Aldonuanic commitleo continued tho canvass of the vote for Aldermen this Morning, and adjourned at one o'clock this afternoon until to morrow, having completed the Eighth Ward.

On tho faco of these returns Rheinliardt is credited with having received 103 votes, while the number given on the samplo ballot is 320.

Allowed the latter, ho is olocted by majority. Otherwise Kenna wins. Alderman McCarty claimed that under a decision of tha Court of Appeals tbo uliler manic eauvasserB must accept the figures ou the face of the re! urns and that the district canvassora havo no right to touch them.

Maybee New Clues which the Authorities are Acting' Upon. Special to the Eagle. Loocst ViLi EY, November 31, The Maybee murder is a deeper mystery this afternoon than it has been at any time. Tfour correspondent has traveled over every inch of ground referred to by John McCormlck yosterday. The people with whom he oonversed and at whose houses ho stopped, oonflrm his statements in every particular.

Moreover, John MoQueon, a prominent man of Oyster Bay, says he saw McCormlck at the Catholio Church in that village at lour o'clock Saturday afternoon, and Daniel Downing, a reputable citizen of East Norwich, says that McCormlck had a conversation with him at 4:35 or a littlo later and ho diroctod McCormlok to the road leading to Brooklyn. No doubt at all remains of the complete innocence of this man and he will be discharged to night. Of the guilt of Doyle thero is as much doubt as ever. Ho was thought to be the man who (raveled on Saturday with a hanabag offering to seU children's stockings, and two women thought they recognized him. Indisputable evidence has been obtained that Doyle was not tho man, tho real peddler, a genuine Hebrew, having turned up in the same capacity to day.

The only things which operate againBt Doylo are tho identifications of his voice and the fit of his shoos to the imprint iu the sand. He told the truth about hiB movements between Brookviile and Westbnry on Saturday, buf he has not explained to the satisfaction of Coroner Bayils hi movements between the hours of 4 and 0:30. That Doyle was in Westbury at 6:16 and at tho house of Isaac Cooks is established beyond all question. This disposes effectually of the tramp thoory. I had an nterview with Mrs.

Lambertson, the suspected woman, in Acker's Hotel, in Oyster Bay, early thia morning. She was very guarded in hsr statements and would not mako answers to any quostionB, oxcopt concerning tho Inquiries as to her face, whioh she oxplained as heretofore. Officer Ayrea, who kept her in custody all night, says he 1b more than ever convinced that sho has some knowledge which bears on the caso, but of what character he can only conjecture. When ho puts a direct question to her she replies, "You'll get nothing out of me." Lamborsou himself was taken to Brookviile this morning. He asked permission to look at tho bodies, and it was granted.

It is a terrible thing," was the only remark he made. A roan who saw Lambcrson Saturday night, says he did not want to go into tho houso or barn at all, and loft the premises as soon as possible. Thero is, on tho other hand, the very beat of testimony that at five o'clock Lamberson was hu6king com in John L. Bogart's field. Miss Bogart says sho can swear to it.

Though the officers attach importance to Mrs. Lamberson, it does not seem to be warranted, it is a fact, however, that the Lambersons were suspected from tho first for miles about, aud it was this which led to thoir apprehonsion. The other theory that possibly the murders were oommitted by a person who had had trouble with the Maybees about tho income of tho farm when he worked it on shares has boeri eiploded. Tbe man was found on William Remsen's arm this afternoon, and later ho was seen at tho funeral. His employer accounts for hiB whereabouts on Saturday most satisfactorily.

Tho officers have began an investigation in a now field. In a remote locality thero is a gang, some of whom have served terms ln the Stato prison for burglary aud highway robbery. What this will produce remains to be seen. The funeral of tho victims occurred this afternoon. Tho whole country sido flocked in, but only relations and intimate friends wero admitted to tho houso, whore religious services wore conducted by Rev.

Mr. Wright man, of tho Baptist Church fn Oyster Bay, and Rev. Mr. Smook, of the Reformed Church in Brookviile. Tna interment was in the village cemetery, botii bodies being placed side by sido in a single grave It was a solemn occasion at tha grave it seemed that everybody was wecptug.

Mr. Maybeo has boon removed to his son in law's home, at Glen Head. Some information, which is regarded as important, has just reachod Colonel Towuseud, We aro golug to iuveatigate it at once. Khn. WITH A BULLET IN BIS HEART.

A Burglar's Death After a Fierce Fight With a Policeman. Patrick Brady, of Weehuwkeu, was shot and killed at the foot of West Fortieth street, New York, this morning, by Patrolman Ryan, of tho Twenty second Precinct. Brady and a man named McMahon, wero charged by 'a prisoner arrested by Ryan Borne time age with iuiplicatlou tn a robbery. Ryau found tho two men and was threatened by Brady with shooting if ho attempted to take him into custody. McMahon was taken to tlio station houso by tho policeman, and paroled until Brady's capture.

Since then Officer Ryau has several times been warned to "look out" for Brady, as ho had uttered some ugly throats. About ten o'clock thiB morning Ryan and Clifford, a follow officer, saw two suspicious looking men on Elovonth avenue. The former at onco rr cognized them as Brady aud McMahon, and pursue I them to tho foot ot Forty seventh strtot, where McMuhom jumped into a boat and rowed out iron) tho duck. Brady jumped into the water aud was picked up by his companion. The officers pursued the men to tho foot of Fortioth street, where thoy found their men in a cana boat.

A fierce struggle, ensued between Ryan and Brady, In which tho officer drew his revolver. The weapon, lie claims, was accidentally discharged, and Brady fell with a bullet through his heart. McMahon oscaped. NO ADDITIONS TO BE MADE To the List of Educational Text Books.

Ou motion of Dr.

Griffin, tho chairman of tho committeo was instructed to prepare and present to tho Board at its next meeting a resolution providing for tho payment of the teachers Involved up to the time of their discharge. Mr. Harkness moved that tho schools be closed for tho year on the Friday evening before Christmas. Secretary Tallmadge, in reply to a question by Chairman Doane, stated that the whole $25,000 appropriated by tho Board for carrying ou tile evening schools had not been touched, but remained still intact for tho committee to draw on, and that on tho first of January $25,000 more would be addod. The morion of Mr.

Harkness, closing the schools on tbe Friday before Christmas, was adopted, and the committee adjourned. A CHILD'S PREDICAMENT. Carried Around the Streets by Drunken Parents. Christopher Poole, of No. 17 East Fifteenth street, New York, aud his wife, who carried an eight months old child in her arms, were both au intoxicated this morning on Sands street that the officers would not allow them to orofla tho bridge.

Poole became so noisy and insulting that he was at last arrested and brought before Captain Ward. Meanwhile his wife and baby were locked outside. Mrs. Poole screamed for admittance. Captain Ward let her in aud finally discharged both of them from, custody.

They walked down Fill ton street on their way to the ferry, the woman holding on to the poor baby as best she could. THE SOUTH BAPTIST CHURCH COUNCIL. Rev. N. B.

Thompson Makes a Correction. The Rev. N. B. Thompson, paBtor of the South Baptist Church, corner of Harrison avenue and Hooper Btreot, Eastern District, said to a reporter of the Eaolb that statements had appeared regarding that church which were calculated to mislead the publlo.

A council had been, called for Thursday next, instead of Tuesday of this week, but the services would be wholly independent of the Long Island Association, and not insfitnted upon any proposed axiom of the church with respect to that body, THE SUIT AGAINST THE NORTHERN PACIFIC. In tha action of Duraiit Bnpont against the Northern Pacitto Railroad Henry Villard, August Belmont and others, Judge Wallace, Iu the United BUtcs Circuit Court, to day, handed down a decision vacating the nstrhllug order, and refusing ft preliminary Injunction, The Land League Delegates Get Down to Work. Indications of a Harmonious Convention and the Accomplishment of Good Results. The Brooklyn Men Pre9ent The Attendance not so Large as Anticipated. Special to the Eagle.

SvnAouBB, November 21. Tho sctlotica of the Irish National Leagao fn thto State met in convention this morning, to form a permanent Stato organization, tho objeot being to bind moro closely together the members of the League and put in operation the programme of tbs Philadelphia Convention. Tha convention mot ln Empire Hall. About 1G0 delegates wero present. The attendance was not as largo as expected.

The members blame this on Dr. Wallace, of tho National Executive Committee, who isut notices to only tho societies in municipal affiliation. There are more societies outside of these organizations than in it, and had they been invited the convention would have boon a very large one. There 1b considerable feeling over tha matter, and It is possible tho work of tho convention will be hindered thereby. Tho Brooklyn delegation, which arrived at an early hour, consisted of Judge John Rooney, Thomas Caaaln, Thomas Mosely, Thomas J.

Dennehy, 8. McDonald, William Connolly, John Qallaher, Joseph Sweeney, J. D. Whiting and James Bellow. As soon aa tho delegation bad registered at tho Empire House, tho headquarters of the convention, one of tho members asked: "Where is tho cocktail rooul" The clerk replied, "We havo no cocktail room.

This is a temper anoo houso." "Well, this is a fine place to hold an Irish convention," said Captain Mosely, a veteran of the Mexican War. Some of the members Immediately paid a visit to an othor hotel, and the rest have not yat recovered from their cold wator reception. CALLED TO ORDER. Tho convention was called to order by Dr. W.

Wallace, of Now York. He read a short address that was enthusiastically received. Ho spoke of Ireland'! suffering condition, and said the time had come when intelligent action on tho part of tho wisest men was demanded. Ho said if tho sacred cause of Ireland was to succeed there must bo no more ejjjapados by wicked notoriety hunters, who, instead of healing the woes, aro continually playing Into tho hands of tho enemy Ho referred to tho assault on American publlo opinion by sending British lords, scientists, artists and jurists to this country. Tha duty of the hour was organization, not extinction.

Every Irishman ln tho Stato must meau a dollar. A recess was taken while tho Committee on Credentials prepared a report. Mr. Booncy is on this committee. Tho committee ori credentials reported in favor of admitting to the floor of tho convention all delegates presont with duly authorized credentials.

The report was adopted. There wero no contesting delegates. Thia action, for tho time being, has prevented division ln tho convention. Among prominent delegates who havo just arrived aro Major Haggerty, Stophen J.Mcanoy, General M. Korwln, Thomas F.

Mechan and Senator Michael 0. Murphy, all of Now York. Rov. Father Oronin, of the Catholio Union of Buffalo, was received with applause. Thero are several prominent Catholio priests present as delegates.

Dr. W. B. Wallace was made pormauont chairman of tho convention. A committeo to nominato vico presidents and prepare resolutions waB appointed.

Messrs. Dennehy, Caasin and Rooney, of Brooklyn, wero uanwd on this committeo. Tho convention thon adjourned until 3 o'clock. H. F.

G. MUTATIONS OF THE SPBAKEUSHIP COSTEST. ChcMerficluian Cantliuates Does HIr. Phelpu Know Kiefor Secretary Chandler and His Courts of Inquiry. S2ec)al to the Eogle.J Washington, D.

0,, Novomber 21. Mr. Cox's candidacy is beginning to look up promisingly. John Kelly is oxpectod to arrive hero to morrow to help him. Thoro is much talk about a stroDg Tildon influence, which is claimed to bo at work for Randall.

Carlisle's friends recently became possessed of a list of Randall's votes, and professed to be highly diverted thereby. The candidates aro now ovideutly on their oars, waiting for Southern aud Western mon to arrive. Carlisle's chances havo unquestionably been injured by resurrecting tho bloody Bbirt and solid South issues. Tbe Democrats are disposed to go slow. Tho sentiment against Southern mon having the Speakership is denounced as illiberal and illogical but it exists and is a factor in tho fight.

All the three prominent candidates have exchanged calls, aud whatever may bo tho feeling among the adherents themselves, the principals aro on perfce.tly cordial terms. The one who carries tho caucus against two such competitors may well feel honored. Phclpa' exhortation to Kcifer creates influlte amusement hero. Tbe general opinion' is that he docs not know Kcifer at all. Courts of inquiry follow fast upon one another.

Tho latest is for tho commander aud navigating officer of tho Powhattan. Secretary Chandler makes much ado over these costly covtvtg and tries to hold officers responsible for pilotage aud defects iu the vessels themselves. The Powhattan is a very old side wheel steamer an that eho answers tho helm badly is pretty well understood. Edmunds will grant no special concessions to a Mahono organization of the Senate. A charter will bo asked for tho new gas comiianj upon tho mooting of Congress.

Ex Vico President Wheeler is in town. A combination has been made bectween Randall, John G. Thompson, of Ohio, and ex. Representative Atkins, of Tcnncscco. They have pooled their issues.

If a Western man becomes Speaker and another western man sergeant r.t anus, there, will be no cliauco for Atkins getting the clerkship of tho House, which bo is after. Randall prefers Thompsoni to freedom as sergeant at arms. Tildeu is said to ho helping tha combination, if he did not actual propose it. ThiB imu'b is known in advance of tho meeting of tho National Comiultlco Tha Republican Convention will bo hold in tho East. Opinion is divided between Saratoga and Philadelphia, with tho chances in favor of Philadelphia.

Tho mitigation of the sentence of Colonel Morrow, lately on General Sherman's staff, in deferenco to the feelings of tho Army ring, amounts to practically no punishment at all. Colonel Morrow is suspended for ono year on half pay. TlUs temporary loss of pay does not fall upon him, as last Spring, when he wa3 convicted of duplicating his pay accouuts, his creditors made an arrangement by which they to receive a pro rala sharo of Colonel Morrow's pay after allowlug him a proportion to livo on. That allowance ho will probably still retain. This is tho moHt glaring caso of favoritism that has boon brought to the notice of tho public for a long time.

Colonel Morrow duplicated his pay accounts, besides going in debt right and left in Washington. The General of the Army, tho Secretary of War and tho Paymaster Genoral combined to get Mm oft' to tha frontier without trying him for his offence, which tho articles of war declare to bo punishable by dismissal. In less than Bix months General Crook, iu whoso command ho was, decliticd to put up with him any longer and preferred charges of drunkenness and conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman against him. Ho was convicted of tho charges, but executive clemency, which can be commanded Dy influence, steps in, sets aside tbo verdict of the court, aud this convicted hard caso is suffered after a slight and temporary punishment to return to tho army to disgrace it again. It is, perhaps, futile to vis it punishment on Colonel Morrow the mon who conspired to shield him, and thereby lower tho tone of tho army, are the real culprits.

In Captain Walker's case the board found him incapacitated for duty and retired him. This extraordinary caso, of which the history was in tho Eagle a short while ago, really could be sottled no other way. Whether Captain Walker was sane or not could not be determined. An iusatio man could not be dismissed tha army, nor could his inexplicable conduct bo tolerated bo tho board acknowledged that thoy did not know what waa tho matter with him, by simply retiring him. Tho department could not afford to havo a court of inquiry every timo Captain Walker jsircd one, which was pretty often; and if ho was mad there was method enough in hla madness for him to devlso all manner of ingenious ways of putting tho department in a nolo; so thoy were forced to do something to get rid of him, and retiring him was the lest resort.

8. A DINNER TO Q. A. ATYVOOD. The Twentieth Ward Voting Kcuublt cans Tender Him Their Compliments at the Oxford Club.

A pleasant closing feature of tho lato political campaign was a complimentary dinner given at tha Oxford Club last uight to Mr. Quincy A. Atwood by a number of Twoutieth Ward Young RopublicanB. For the past year Mr. Atwood has held the office of member of the Advisory Committee of the Brooklyn Young Republican Club of tho Twentieth Ward, aud the banquet last night was an expression on the part of the members of their gratitude for tho manner in which he had discharged the duties of that office.

At sevun o'clock Mr. Atwood took hla seat in the place of honor at the right band of tho chairman Mr. William C. Pate. Tha table was handsomely decorated for the occasion with flowers and candelabra.

The menu presented for the occasion by tho olief the Oxford Club was excellent. When tho cigars were lighted tho chairman proposed the health of the guest, to which Mr. Atwood responded.
