Tho liquor Dealers at Lft3t Brought to Bay Some Brinkltifr on tho Sly Arrests and Complaints Against Liquor Dealers. There was wailing and gnashing of teeth all over Brooklyn yestorday by the liquor dealer who have not beon acouatomsd to havo tha fear of tha Sun day provisions of the Excise taw before their eyas and who have hitherto been able to evade them. It will ba remembered that General Jourdau addressed tbe police captains on the subject a few days ago in language whioh was unmistakeablo for its clearness snd tho om phatlo mannor In whioh It was delivered. He told them that their official heads would be in serious peril If thsy did not pnt a stop to tho almost universal violations of the Excise law on Sundays. On several ooex slons he hsd gone round the oily on th first day of th week and found that whilo the frjot doors were olosed and tho blinds drawn down, moBt of the liquor stores wars in full blast.

He did not recommend any whole sale arrests, although ho could not give instruction that no arrests should be made. It would be impossible for bim to do so. A polloa officer who wltnosses a violation of the law has tbe right to make an arrest, at the same time It Is understood among the members of tho force that the principal doty of a polloeman in the oase of exciso violations is to seoure sufflolont testimony to oouvlct the offender aud glvo tha Exolse Com missionrs the opportunity to revoke the lloense. Tho ospUins, in view of General Jourdan's determination, saw that half measures were no longer In order, and not to take any advantage of tha liquor dealers, gave them timely notice that the Exolse law would bo strictly enforced yesterdry. The vast majority of those engaged in the liquor business paid due respect to the warning, and perhaps there never has been Sunday in Brooklyn when there was more difficulty in entering liquor stores.

Many dealers oarrled on business, but all of thorn did so IN THB SLIEST POSSIBLE MANNEB. Watohers were posted outside and iuBid and no ona was allowed to enter who was not known, while in many cases stores whloh have never been known to keep closed on Sunday were bolted and barred and the proprietors and bartenders away. ThirRty individuals were driven to their wits' end to satisfy their thirst, whioh had bssn muoh Intensified by the hot weather and the lovers of bock beer, which Is now sold to bo at its best, were loud In their expressions of disapprobation of the aotion of the police. The temperance people and church goers wore delighted and are determined to sustain General Jourdsn by every means in their power. The following were the only arrests made John N.

Hass, bartender for Theodora Brosssnd, of No, 33 Myrtle avenue, was arreBted by Officer Chichester, who found tho saloon open aud tha prisoner in charge. Louis Baumbuset, proprietor of the liquor store at No, 125 Fulton Btreet, was arrested by Officer Ooddlng ton, of tho Second Precinct, who found a numbor of man front ol the bar drinking and Baumbusat waiting on them. Offloer Bogers, of the Second Prsolnct, entered Daniel Boott's liquor store, at No. 43 Bridge street, lest evening and found his brother, John Scott, behind the bar and serving liquor to customer. The latter was arrested.

Thomas Little, proprietor of the saloon at No. 453 Third avenue, was arrested by Offloer Owens, of tha Eighth Preoinot, who found several parties drinking in the place. Tha prisoners were all ballad out befora night, and their examinations were adjourned by Justloe Walsh and Justice Courtney, bsfor whom they ware arraigned this morning. The polloe have also secured testimony against tbe following liquor dealers, on whose coses the Exolse Commission will pan A. Bdhoenemann, No 85 Fulton street.

OflpHtnige to be Conducted on the Anier lean Flan. SeyeraS thousand persons, many of them frotn New Yorli and vicinity, but iWOboWy by far the groater number from this city, visit Coney Island yesteruoy. among them were judges, legislators, and othefpublte officers, and many persona of prominence iu social circles with tfceir wire and chiMrony and the scene along tho beaefc waa as lively oa on1 a UoS Bum mer'a dkyj the only difference being that thero'wWno crowding' any whom except at the hotels, which' insra beon open1 all Winter; where business was almost aa brisk at on" time aa' ia the midst of the fsland' season.

The new bathing; pavilion, noar tbe new iron plex Ita oIobs to th beacbla approaching completion, and will be finished 'by the endl of Hay. It will oontath'8001 dressing rooms' and a number of hot and cold; water batbs, with a dining room and restaurant on tho lower floor. This is' the only new work going on in that' vicinity, except the' building of the new iron pier Workmen were engaged yosterday preparing the woodmen platform building required, for those at work on the pier. The platform Is constructed on a track so that if can ba moved seaward as is foirad necessary during the progress of the work. It will ba finished to day.

In this region It was sald'that the aotion of tho Winter's waves had somewhat increased the width of the beach, but further up to the eastward' ol the Brighton, they havo washed away the beach and invaded the high trook of the Marine. Railway, and) workmen were busy yestorday shoveling sand between the inner track and the wooden bulwark beyond tho outer one, muoh of whioh had boon oaten out by th storms of the past month. A vast amount of the sand1 which formed the beach tbat has partly disappeared, ia said to have beon carried over by the sea to a nil or two to tbe southward, whioh, at low water, NOW FOB. MB Alt' ISLAJFtr of considerable dimensions, and' over which at high tide the waves break in a line of. foam, that nttraots attention from Coney Island.

Not far from the Brighton and olosa by tha water line a portion of one of tha mast of tho wrecked Italian bark Ajace came ashora not long elnce, and Is now retained tuore In a leaning position, an objest of great curiosity to ramblers along shore. Boys wore ollmblng up on It yesterday and' jumping from the platform that holds it in plaoe, apparently unmindful ot the tragedy of whloh it Ig now the only tangible relio. The hull of the bark, or what was left of it by the wind and waves, lies deep in the sand of the shoal above alluded to, whloh has now beoome her grave; Along the shoro above the Brlghton and' Manhattan Beach' hotels, the scene yestorday wos wilder than any observed hist year, except in stormy weather; Tho beach being gone as stated, the rolling surf of th rising tide, urged ou by a strong breeze from seaward, dashed up in Buooetaive masses against the piles which help to form tho bulwarks of tho broadened pathway along shoto, and broke In sheets of spray that roes in soma cases to a hsight of olght or tan feet, sprinkling pedestrians on the pathway freely with the salt water. UP 'ST. TM OBIBNTAL HOTEL tho work of filling in and grading tha footway by the shore wss suspended for the day, but its completion Is promised in tima for the ooming season.

No bathing houses will be oreoted, or bathing permitted, in front of the hotel, as the desire to keep the view to seaward entirely unobstructed', but within the past week tho jetty east of the Manhattan BeacK. has been lengthened about fifty, feat for tha special behoof of swimmers who daslra to go into the water head first. From this vantage ground divers will hove at least six feet of water beneath them at high tide. East of the OrlenUl stands the life saving station, which will be vacated by. the eorps on the first of nextunonth, as they are only, wanted there from October to May.

Tho Oriental Hotel this year will open on the American plan that is, there will be no bill of faro to pick from and pay accordingly rooms will ba rented to lodger or boarders by the day with meals, and in a day will be the minimum prioe charged. Some ot the rooms ore already engaged at the rata of il2 a day for eseh boardor. Tha transient oustom.of the bsoch on whloh so many others thrive therefore, not go to this house. Tho weather at the Island wos muoh warmer? than visitors had evidently anticipated, for the lodios eame down in hesrytuoaks, many with, spare shawls and other worm clothing, and a greot many, gentlemon.camo In their Winter ovorcoats.

Burnlnif ol Candles, a out Prtton. The unusual sight of sir coaches and an express wagon driven with great rapidity along, the roads in Evergreens Cemetery yesterday morning, attraoted the attention of the many people who. were there in the morning hours leveling up the green turf displaced by the Winter frosts front the graves of their departed friends and. beautifying them, with, rare and valuable flowers. Each coach, contained, five and the express wagon was filled: with provisions of many kinds, all prepared as if for a dinner.

These provisions were sealously guarded by two. stalwart Chinamen. Th curiosity of the people was aroused and a large number followed the queor party to ascertain what they were about to do. Tha Chinamen had visited the cemetery from motives of veneration for their dead friends, a numbor of whom have been. Interred In the oemetery nntll the tima arrives when they can be disinterred and returned to the Jdowery Kingdom, wher their dust, in deference to an ancient superstition, whloh la a part of their religion, moy mingle with that of their forefathers.

The ceremonies performed yesterday are repeated annually until the time arrives when the spirits of the departed attain the highest heavenly Joy. To Chinaman they aro a soared rite, but they are so peculiar that to others they are viewed with marks of levity. In Evergreens Cemetery Chinamen hove been burled In half a dozen different plaoe, ail of which are very pleasantly located. The first graves visited were on Hickory Knoll, situated about one hundred yards from the new entrance on Bushwlok avenue and almost adjoining th plot wher Tony Pastor has erected monument to. his late friend and associate, the genial hearted and laughter provoking Epb Horn, whose death oreated a lasting vaoonoy In the ranks of the old time minstrels.

It is very pleasant spot, and from It a beautiful view of the surrounding country and the ocean may be had. At one end of this plot is a (mail tombstone mad of marble, square at the bottom and rounding at the top. Upon tt, in English letters, is tho inscription, "Longgunse SooUty, New Ifork City, 1877." Then follow a number of Chinese letters. The Chinamen gathered about these graves, OHATTBBINO WITH OBBAT RAPIDITX in their queer sounding tongue. From the recesses ot the express wagon were brought out two large baskets, which were token to tn stater of the plot.

Upon tha ground were placed several large pieces of paper, to serve as a sort of table oloth. Then from the basket wer brought pons of roast pork, numbers of obiokana whloh had bean cooked with all their limbs on, without other cleaning than the removal ot their feathers. On the grove ot a Chinaman, who during his 'lifetime hod bean very wealthy, quite a large roosted pig woo deposited. When this Chinaman died they burned several very fine suits of clothes and melted up, a valu able gold watch and ohoin over the grave. After tho pork and ehlokent were planed on the graves, pieces of a livery looking substance, were fished out of the boskets and placed on tOD of them.

Then come bowls af rice and chop atloks to eat the rloe with. After the provisions hod been arranged, each grave was deoorated with row of wax candles dasorated with red paper, together with bundlea of little sticks, also wrapped In colored paper. These were set on fire and they burned quite merrily. Then big packages ot paper, by the Chinese oallsd spirit money, which is to be used by the departed friends to propitiate the evil spirits who endeavor to prevent them from reaching paradise, vraa ignited, over an, from a quart bottle, wai SPRINKLED A FLUID which hod tha oppearonoe and odor ot whisky. When the fire was blaring quite fiercely a number of pack age of olgarettes were thrown into It, While all this was going on, the natknien who had brought th Chinamen to the oemetery, gathered about the fire and perpetrated many jokes over, OS they tormed It, "tho epirits' fro lunoh." After tbe money was consumed the Chinamen said what appeared to be a prayer.

Then they jumbled all the provisions, with tho exoeption of the rioo, whloh they plaoed in heaps all about the graves, baek Into their baskets, and after putting them Into the wagon, jumped into their coaches and were driven to the other Chinese burial plot in the oemetery, whore they went through the tome performance, eaoh time using a new supply of provisions, but never, with the exoeption of tha rice, leaving any Demna mom. naorovor tney went they were followed by orowds, who seemed very much amused at the strange oeremouies. THE WORE OF THIEVES. The grocery store of John Maffot, at No. 174 Harrison avenue, was burglariously enterod on Saturday night, by rolling up th shatter on tho front door.

The thieves contented themselves by breaking open a trunk and stealing a gold watoh and diamond pin, valued at $85. The atahles of Oharlos HowelL at No. Atiantle avenue, was entered on Saturday night by means of false keys, and a set of harness, valued at $25 stolen. A chest of tea, valued at 12, waa slolen on Saturday night from In front of Molntyre BrotUore' grocery store, oorner State aud Hoyt street. Eorly yesterday morning two boys attempted to break Into the butcher's shop of Adolp'h Kuhan, corner Hoyt and Livingston street.

Kings County lost one of its oldest and most valued citizens yesterday in the death of thtr Hon. Tunis a. Bergen, of New Utrecht. Mr. Bergen, although far advanced in years, enjoyed excellent health up to about tvo years ago, whan he woe attaoked with pneumonia.

After bis recovery from tbat disease' he expressed a tear that he might again suffer fronv It, and frequently aoavarsed with bis friends on the subject. Lost Tuesday ha attended1 th funeral of Joseph A. Parry nd contracted severe oold, which, oompelled him to take to his bed the next day. Although reoolvlng the best medical attendance, he foiled: rapidly, and died yesterday morning from pneumonia! surrounded by the members of his family and severe of his neighbors. The funeral will take plaoe from his lata restkenoi in New Utrecht at 2 o'eiook to morrow afternoon.

A NOTABLE FAMM.T. Th void created by the death of Tunfa GV Bergen, or "Undo Tune," ss be come to be called of late years, will not be filled. He was a notable member of a re markable family and a representative of an epoch whioh, while deprived of many of the improvements of the present period, was alio without its superficial qualities and its oppressive follies andWioes. The Bergen family is one of the oldost of whioh wn havo any knowlodge among the early settlers of this State. Mr.

Bergen was descended from Hans Hansen Borgan, one of tho early settlors on our shores, whose advent In the New World was contemporary with that of the Cowenhovon, Voorhees, Kldort, Stoothoif, Cortolyou, Stryker, Suydam, Lott, Wyckoff, Bkrkeloo Lefforts, Martense, Hubbard, van Brunt, Vanderbilt and Van Nuyso families. The nam of Bergen and Van Bergen (pronounced Bar rer gen lu the Dutch), was common in tha Netherlands. It Is af Tautonlo origin, and signifies hills. Tbe Bergens were long among tbe first families of Holland. Hans Hausen Bergen, tha common ancestor of the Long Island Bar gens, waa a natlv of Bergen, in Norway, and a ship builder by oooupsttou.

He moved from Norway to Holland, and in 189B came to New Amsterdam, tho old Dutch eity which stood on the site of tha present metropolis. Ho arrived at Fort Amsterdam in the month of April in company with Woutar Van Twlller, the second Director General of the colony, in a fleet of the Wost India Company's vessels, comprising the Salt Mountain, th Oarnel St. Martyn and tbe Hope. In 1839 be married Sarah, the daughter of George Rapalio (now pronounoed Rapalye), who was tho first female white child born in the New Netherlands. It was said that she was born In a log house at the Waalebought, but tbe records show that she first saw the light at Albany, whloh was then callod Fort Orange, and afterward removed to Long Island.

One or Bams Hansen Bergen's sonB, Jam Hanson, was a notable man lu the early Long Island days, and secured a liberal grant of land from the Colonial authorities at Bedford, where ho resided for many yoors. He was largely engaged in the Bhlpplng trade, and owned several vessels. His descendants wars numerous, and one of his sons was tha greot grandfather of the venerable gentleman who passed away yestorday. UNCLE TUNE'S EARLY LIFE. The ate Tunis O.

Bergen was one of four brothers, the sons of Garrett Bergen and Jan Wyokoff. Ho was born in New Utreoht, on October 6, 1800, and wss nearly 75 yesrs old at the time of his decease. HI brothers were Peter John G. ondGorrettG. Peter Q.

was County Judge of Kings County, and for many years a member of th Board of Education of the Oity of Brooklyn. John O. Waa a Htato Senator, a member of Assembly and a oommiBBioner of police. Garrett G. was a member of the looal boards of 8npervlBors and Education.

All were members of the Whig and Republican parties but Tnnlo who was a Democrat from th time he oast his first vote for Andrew Jaokeon, in 1828, to the time of his death. In early life Mr. Borgen worked on his father's farm, and as he grew toward manhood, learned tho profession of a Surveyor, In which he became proficient. In 1828 his father purchased a farm at Bay Ridge from Henry Aldworth, for $5,320. Tho form then oom prtsed forty nino acres, and was considered on of the most valuable pieces of property in the violnity of Brooklyn.

It lnoreassd rapidly in value with the lapse of time, and when Third avenue was out through the property took suoh a sudden rise that "Unole Tuneo" who had inherited it by the death of hla father sold eighteen acres to William Spencer and TbomaB MoElrath. Tho house where he realdod up to the time of his death was a plain, spacious and substantial frame otruoturo which the family led a happy life in the Dutoh style. Mr. Bergen, was, in general training dayB, on enthuslastlo member of tha State mlllta and served in turn as onsiffn, captain, adjutant, lieutenant colonel and colonel of the Two Hundred aud Forty first Regiment. are men in Brooklyn to day who remember whst an Imposing ngure ne cut when mounted upon his pranoing white chsnrger, ha cavorted at the head of his oion on tho occasion oi tuo annual muster.

AS A POLrrtciiN. Mr. Bereen took an aotive interest in politics front' the time he sttsiued bis majority. Perhaps tho fact that his three brothers were opposed to him politically. he'd much to do with promoting his partisan aotivity.

Although boiling from one of the oountry towns, he soon became recognised in the oounolla of tho party. Democratic politics had not in those days fallen under the baleful influence of a boss, and the young men were given a chanoe to assert their manhood and opinions in primaries and conventions. Mr. Bergen reoelved In tho Spring of 1836 the nomination of his Democratic neighbors in New Utrecht for Supervisor, and was elected by a handsome majority. In the board ho quiokly took an important placo.

He wob chairman of several of tha most influential committees and an aotive member of several others. Naturally of a thrifty disposition, ho turned his mind to the promotion of eoonomy in the public service. Although there wera no jail jobs iu those days Uncle Tune" found several opportunities of applying the pruning knife, thereby earning tha gratitude of his constituents and a ready renomination at the hands of his Democratic neighbors. He served continuously iu th Board of Supervisors, from 1836 to law a term of twenty threo years. From 1842 to 1846 ho was chairman of tho bosrd, during which tima he was noted for his fairness and skill aa a presiding officer.

In 1869 Mr. Bergen bscame unpopular with certain of the members of the party in New Utreoht. He was independent in all his ootlons. They undertook to apply tbo party rod to bis book. He defied the men who undertook to "run" him.

They immediately set on foot a movement for revonge, aud by a combination of disaffected Democrats and Bepublloans he was superseded as a member of the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Bergen felt this reverse keenly and always had a disposition to follow up his opponents at every opportunity. In 181S he was a znembtr of tha Constitutional Convention of the State, and was also a member of th Constitutional Convention of 1867 8. BLEOTED TO 0OHGB88.

For many years Mr. Bergen was a delegate to tho Stat oonventlonB of hi party, and almost Invariably appeared iu county oonvontlonf, of whioh he was gen erally mads chairman. A slounoher Democrat never lived. In 18W he was chosen a delegat to the Nation a Democratic Convention at Charleston, 8. 0.

During the two weeks' session of that stormy body he waa among the members who supported Daniel 8. Dickinson, of this State, for tie Presidential nomination and oppoiod the'resolutlon whloh rssulted in tho split in the Democratic organizstlon. In 1864 Mr, Bergen reoelved tke Demooratlo nomiua. tion for Congress in the Seoond Dlstriot of this State. It was the yeor of tha LlncolJ McClollon campaign, one of the most exolting contests ever held in this oountry.

Hit opponent was the late Samuel Maddox, who ran as the Union candidate, The tide set strongly against the Democracy after thi October elootlons, and as Mr. Maddor made a stronf. canvass, some of Mr. Bergen's friends at on ttm fetred 'hot he might be dofeated. He nevr lost falih, howoyeT, and when lootlon day come around aa was suocSBfuI by a majority of little less than 8,000.

In the House of Representatives he was In a small minority, but stood steadfasHy tor the oonservatlv cause, and voted with his porly every time. Upon the completion of his term in Coagrss ha returned to his New Utreoht home, and baj not since held publlo office. He did, however, ooitlnue his activity as a Democrat up to about two ytars ago, when, Incoming disgusted with the system of posslsm, and the methods of the Ferguesons and flubners iu Nw Utreoht, he retired ram his former position of activity. He retained his faith In the principles of the party to the last, however, and voted and worked for General Han oook In the lost campaign. He was for many years Uhalrman ot the General Committee.

SOCIALLY AND INTMLBCTUALLr. Mr. Brgen lived pleasantly at his home in New Dtreoht. Seven ohildren were the offspring of his mar. rlsge, of whom five Jane, Garrett, Elizabeth 0., Johanna and Van Rintar sliU Hvlng.

His estimable wif.also survives him. He took gasat Intorest In th cultivation of hla farm, and aad to anow dis menus an advertisement of the property vrhloh was published in a NW York paper In 1769, to touowing sumi; To be sold, a good farm, lying in Kings County, in the Province of rfow York, at the Narrows, about seven iwij uai tuo uouse, auu jM nan.a tng and fowling. Sor particular inquire of Denyse Dsnyse, living near the premise. Mr. Bergen was of a genial dlepoaition, made many friends and always kept them.

He was at tho time of his death president of tbo St. Nioholas Society of Nassau, in which position he succeeded the late Judge Lott, who was one of his wannest friend. He wa a member of the Long Island Historical Boolety and of other Brooklyn orgeniaetlon. He was also a large stock, holder In the Brooklyn City Railroad Company, tha Brooklyn Oasllght Ooapany and the Union Ferry Company. Of Ut years Mr.

Bergen dototed himself to literary pursuits. H. could apeak, road and writ th Dutch languBflu.ntly, and translated aaveral manuscripts which ar now In the possession of the Hietorioal Society. Hal the author of the "Brgen. Family Genealogy" and of theganealogleaof tho Leffarts and Van Brunt families.

Ho attended the old Dutch Church at New Utreoht, and at tho 200th anniversary of tha Institution, held a fw years ago, he read a history of It In the Dutch Ian guage. Ho retained his rigorous meatal qualities to the last. HEMIWSOENOBS OF MB: MURPHY. One of Mr.

Bergen's most Intimate associates for nearly half a century was the Hon. Henry 0. Murphy, of this elty. They worked together a politioal leaders in the old day when the polloy of th loeal Demooraoy was dlreoted by Massrs. Murphy, Lott and Vanderbilt, from the old smoke house on Front street Mr.

Mayob's Ornos, City Haix, Beooklth, April 22, 1881, To the Honorable the Common Council GuNTtiiMFN The following resolution passod by your honorable body April 11, 1881, is returned and unapproved ft solved, That the Common Counoll hereby doea re spectf ully petition th Legislature of this State to pass an act providing one hundred thousand (100,000) dollars (in addition to the sum already provided by the Board of Estimate) to ba used iu th street of Brooklyn, for tho year 1881." One unacquainted with the condition of the etreots of the city, upon reading the oommunloation ot tbo Commissioner of City Works, and the report of the Chief F.ngiueer of the departmont, would probably conclude tbat the commissioner was marking out his linen in the interest of true eoonomy, and that tha stroeta of Brooklyn were in deplorable and dangerouB condition and rendered in many cases actually Impassable, because of the shameful neglect and imperfect work of all prior administrations of the department.

The commissioner has presented to you a list of designated streets and localities, where, in his Judgment, repairs were needed. It 1b spread over eighteen pages of your printed minutes. Nine hundred and twelve localities are enumerated, the sums estimated for costs in eaoh case for auoh repairs varying from $26 to $3,500. The aggregated estimate reaching to the enormous sum of U7M3S. There Is certainly NO LAOS OF A88TBAN0B on the part of th commissioner, in presenting no extended a table of dilapidated streets, and characterizing tbe condition of the city In the manner set forth In his communication.

It appoars from tho ongiueer's report, that In accordance with th instructions of the commissioner, he has made an examination of the entiro eity. From what follows I am led to think that the ox amination'was very hurriedly gone through with for he states that "the Umltod time I have had to examine the entire qity has prevented me from making as thorough an examination of the streets as desired, and there are undoubtedly many bad street that are not to bo found in my list. I have seen onough however, to convince me tbat our streets are not 'properly maintained." If this examination was so important, why was It not prosecuted carefully aud with accuracy; Why have any bad streots been left out of the list 7 Why leave anything to eonjsoturs? Itwouldhave been better to have told the whole truth. It Is apparent that there has been either a want of thoroughness on the part of the examiner, or that the list has been made up tor some ulterior object. The whole business of th commission In regard to this matter ssvora of intrigue, and is calculated to awaken distrust and render hla atatemont and the report of his engineer, valuloBS and non acceptable to an inquiring and thoughtful mind.

Tho commissioner, by way of justification, and to give support to his soheme, has referred to tho expenditures or 1873 for street repairs. What was expended in 1873 ean have no bearing on present needs. It Is not what has beon expended in former years, wisely or unwisely, that fixes criterion for the oommissioner's duty, or for the guidance of your action In this matter. The question is, simply What is really and absolutely necessary, nd is required this ysar in tha line of suitable street repairs. What sum of money judlolously and eoouom loally laid out will be sufficient for snch repairs and oan the olty afford to oontrlbuto such sum for this purpose, I am not willing to aocept tho commission I er'a'statoment oa to what ia required for street repairs.

Estimates required for this kind of work pressuted romlhis office, have frequently been found excessive. The estimates which have beon spread beforo you in this oase, have been made up under the commissioner. They appear to have been very inconsiderately and There are over 828 miles of paved atroets in Brooklyn. The report informs me that they havo all been personally examined, and the cost of repairs estimated. I have bean told tbat tho examination was made in less than three weeks, which would be at the rate of about fifteen miles per day.

The engineer reports generally: I find the streets In a bad condition." Tho combination of statement and report Is quite significant. It has afforded mo occasion to make a personal inspection of the streets. During tha past ten days I have driven through the larger portion of (he oily, and from the observation I have made, I unheaitatiugly put myself on record in opposition to the statement presented by tho commissioner, and peaking generally, state that I have found THE SXItEITS IN FAIB CONDITION and that they oan be traveled without danger. I have made Inquiries of observing people residing lu the different wards of the elty as to the condition of the streets; and, without exception, It has been generally admitted that the streets are in good travoling condition that a smell amount of money expended on them this year will render the streets entirely acceptable. Your resolution invokes legislative aid for the commissioner to expend at his own discretion a very largo sum of money and this dons upon tha statement of the commissioner, and.

that ot his engineer, with no corroborating tostimony to support his allegations with no orldenoo that ha has consulted with tbo higher authorities of the city, or that be has scoured th sanction or approval of a single cltlxen outside of his department, of the measure he has proposed. Legislative Interference, moved In this way, has oost the city millions of dollars, and increased the rat of taxation to an unbearable dogreo. I have endeavored, by every muni in mv nowor. to oheck this eviL I have had rea son to suppose that the people of Brooklyn approved of my course in this regard, and that the expression of their will would aot as an effectual ntoppol upon auoh 111 devised Bchemes as the commissioner is seeking to oarry through. If legislative aid Is at any time neoesssry for the olty, It is a proper matter to be consulted upon by the au tnorltics, wno are resuuuBioie vo uiu iroupie, auu uno wise by the people, who bear the burdens of malntain ng tbe city government.

The head of any single department, who on bis own motion or at the Instigation of any MEBB PLTNDEBINO FOLITTOIAN, without consulting with other authorities of the elty, iuvokos logislatlve authority to enter npon and subordinate the prerogatives of any other department, and lor hiB personal aggranaixomeut sees cuunui uuu disburse publlo moneys, exposes himself to tho common distrust of mankind, awakens suspicions of bis integrity in official station, and shojtld bo watched in every particular of his administration. Tha authority asked for by your resolution is not needed. It Is neither timely, wise or expedient, it enouia not ue gr anted, it would oe ogainsi zaemoBi pruaoai ponoj of government to empower the Commissioner of City WnrVa to expand 1100.000 unless tho supreme author ities of the elty demanded it, and the apploatton for such authority had received their unequivocal sanction. As the "city government Is now framed, every department Is reatratned In this regard. Whatever ulterior objeot the commissioner may have In view, it is evident that this measure Is started for the purpose OI enlarging m.

puwors, ouu numu vmvw out of lta natural and legitimate proportions, if it is not for the purpose ol facilitating his opportunities to serv th olsmorous politicians who hang round his offloe. On the score of public utility this measure cannot Justified, for It Is neither necessary nor expedient. What th peopl of Brooklyn want Is protection against the personal intrigues and th party alms of men who seek legislation In promotion of their sohemss, regardless of thB public interests. The Common Council should not be a party to this measure, so audaolously devised and pressed on tbslr attention. The amount of $100,000 is nearly or quite sufllelent to repave all th treats ot th first six wards of th olty tha entire length and width of th same.

This would make more than forty miles of street. Since tha passage of your resolution, I have reoelved from thr very careful and reliable parties, STIMATES. As to the ooet Of taking up tha atone pavements of the citv and relavina tbe same, and who, If such work Is to be ordered, are willing to contract to do It on th following term. For all street roadways thirty feet wide, containing 1.760 yards to th mil First estimate, 1 ,760 yards, at 12 cents per yard 32,1 12 r.m o.t!mttn I 7Kt) vnrrti. at IS cent DBr vard.

2.640 Third estimate, 1,700 yards.at 15 cents portyard 2,040 At tha rate of tha first bid the amount of $40,000 pro vided for the year 1881, for street repairs. Is sufficeint to repave over seventeen miles of streets, from curb to curb. It is not presumed that tbe commissioner intends to repave any street Its entire length and width, but to oause the broken places to be patched as the eases may require. In the examination I have personally made, I find the streets generally In a fair condition. South ot Fulton street and Fiatbush avenue there are a few streets leading from Columbia street to the river, together with Hamilton avenue, Van Brunt street and Furman street, which require to be.

repaired. If the railroad companies shall be compelled to do the work they have contracted with th city to perform, I am of the opinion that $15,000, judiciously expeudtd, will be a sufficient sum to complete all the repairs ot streets paved with stone, which lie south of EjUton sjrl and Ejatbush avenue' and render (hem good roodwaya for public travel Patent pavement do not enter Into the consideration of tha auDjeot now unuor notioe. iuu sum oi has been separately provided for repairs of patent pavements, With regard to the condition of streets in the Eastern District, I have to remark that I hay per onally examlnf great number of them and find tbat the streets most needing repair are those running along the water front and those whero heavy manufacturing and large storehouse business Is done. The wear of pavements occurs chiefly on the highways oonnesting the city with the country towns and those loading to or In the violnity of the ferries, streets on which th Jrincipsl buslnoss is transacted. Th thorough, ere of the oity, through which the greater portion of travel passes, are generally In first olass condition the pavements being tormed with granite and Belgian block, are wli preserved and in good order and need little or no rapalr.

Thes highways should be diligently observe! riway kept in good, order, As AN nXUSTB ATION of tha manner in which street repairs are sometimes conducted, I stat that it is a faot well vouohed for that the Commission of City Works, In neglect of streets greatly needing repair, oaused tbe oobbl stone pavement on Greene avenuo, between Adolphl street and Clermont avenue (William Mayo Little, Honest John's son in law and deputy, Itvos there Rep.) which was In a safe and creditable condition, to be taken up ana re laid on each aid ot the railroad for th entire block. This Is said to have been dona in the interest of the commifeioner's deputy, who owns and occupies property on the blook. Comment upon suob management is unnecessary. After full and fair inquiry and examination I tm parsuaded that the amount set apart for stroet repairs by the Board of Estimate for 1881 Is sumoiont for tha object designated, and should not bo inorexsed. Ther 1 uo occasion for Invoking legislative authority for any farther expenditure in this direction.

It should be remembered that Brooklyn has passed through an era of extravagant expenditures, whloh loadod it with heavy and grievous burdens. The olty has betn gradually shaking off these burdens, and Is slowly but steadily recovering. BXOMTBAB OF ABBEABS WHEKTjT BEPOBT.

The Detoctlves Completely Baffled in Their Investigation General Jonrdan to Take tv Hand in the EeoranIzation of the Squad An Unfortuuato Case Thronsrh out for the Police. The Wise burglary seems to be a most unfortunate one for tha At everv stso of their Investigation, so far, the detootivos who have been on' the case have been baftled; and'ao far as known tfioy aro no nearer a satisfactory solution than they wara wnen Mr.

wise nrst directed their attention to th audacious robbery. Mr. Wise having: good reasomto suppose that the stolon property would slip out of his hands If he did not open negotiations with the thieves, through the instrumentality of a "middle man." was obliged to give $2,100 to tho latter for the return of the watches. It would scam as if tha detectives wore not aa wide awake when these delioat negotiations wore in progress, ts they ought to have been. When the announcement was made that a reward would be given for tho rotnrn of tho property and "no quostions asked," the deteotlves should hava known that.

Mr. Wise would be approached by a representative of the thieves. As a matter of foot, he wos approached and open and above board had several oonsultotions with some party who visited his store, but th deteotlves were somehow ignorant of what was and tha "middle man" olaverly covered up. the whole business, and not only outwitted Mr. Wise, but the deteotlves, who acknowledged tbat th pursuit of the thieves might as well 1 brought to a close.

Genorol Jourdan.regrots, very much, that the case has come to such a lame conclusion, and this morning in a conversation with Superintendent Camp boll expressed his opinion that the investigotion did not reflect muuh credit on tha members of the detactiva squad who had anything to do with it. The general is determined to introduce some changes In the management of tha squad which will add to Its efficiency. He is greatly disappointed that the disgrace ttached to the department by tha boldness of tho robbery was not insomo degree wiped oat by some brilliant ploco of deteotivo work. There la no doubt that the "middle man" or go between who figured in the case could give tho police authorities some important information, but bis professional obligations, if not a certain respeot for his life, prevent his doing so, while Mr. Wise, according to his solemn promise, must keep his lips closed.

It turns out that THE ARBEST OF WILLIAM B. MO DEVTTT (UtoaUlg Bill, a few days ago, wos arolcol proceeding. It seems that Captain Campbell had, soon after the robbery, furnished Inspector Byrnes, ot New York, with a description of several men whom ho had reason to suspect of having participated In the robbery. Mo Devltt was arrested by one of Inspector Byrnes' men because he answered one of these descriptions, and having, been brought to this olty, Oaptoin Campbell, on information and belief," awore out a complaint against him and Justice Walsh committed bim to Jail for examination, whloh was. fixed for this morning.

Big Bill is known to have figured, in. some extensive robborlos and Is spoken ot as one of the most expert bank thieves in the country but far oa the Wlsa robbery is oonnoerned, it would appear that the polloe had no more reason for arresting bim than any other criminal who is out of prison. The publlo are likely to bo kept in ignorance of tbe oxteut of "Information and belief" whloh Captain Campbell possessed In reference to Mr. Devltt'a guilt, for he Informed Justloe Walsh, this morning, that he had no evidence to present on whloh he could work to hove the prisoner held for the Grand Jury. When Mr.

Devltt was arraigned: the judge said, "This la a cose in whloh there ia a Scntoh verdict not proved and as there is no way for me to hold you you are discharged." Mr. Rldgwsy, who appeared for Mr. Devitt, pronounoed his arrest a being entirely unjustifiable, and with hla oliont, want to headquarters and insisted that no use should be mods of th ploture of the latter which was taken at the time of his arrest, and whioh was to be placed la tne Rogues' Gallery. Super intendent Campbell said that, in view of his dlaoharge, the ploture should not be placed In th gauery. And thus ended the latest aot is the Wise drama.

A reporter of the Eaous ascertained this morning that Mr. Wise ha not yet reoelved the articles whloh were were missing from the box whioh was returned to him, and he fools pretty sor over tha shabby man ner in which he has been treated by th thieves. Ha engaged for the return of all his property, snd paid the (3,100 witu tne unaerstauaiog uui every article would be forthcoming, but all the gold pins and a few gold chains are missing.
