If he expocts to make any money in running the road aftor my getting out of tbe business I am afraid he will be disappointed. My average dally loss slnoe the Elevated Ballroad was started has beon somewhero in the neighborhood of $100.

It costs about four dollars and a half to run a stage every day, and the onstomary receipts before the introduction of rapid transit loft a good margin for profit. Latterly wo were lucky If we too in two dollars a day." It la believed that Mr. O'Keefe Intends to hold ths franchlBO for speculative purposes.

COL. MURPHY. Something About the Applicant for the Marshalship. He Issues a Proclamation to the Flagne Stricken Citizens of Plymouth. Gossip Coucerninff tho Probable Successor to Major Tate.

Colonel Charles J. Murphy, who has fig tired prominontly In tho newspapers recently as an applicant for Marshal Tato'a position, seems to bfa entirely unknown to Brooklyn Democrats. Mr. Hugh McLaughlin says he does not know him. Ex Alderman Kane, James Dunne, Mr.

It eeemB that Colonel Murphy was a resident of Wllkesbarro, until a foT mouths ago, when ho moved to 461 IlY nry street, this city. Mr. Murphy, it appears, ia of a literary turn of mind, and on May 30 last, iiaued a proclamation to tho people of Plymouth, whoro an opJdcmjo of disease haa been prevailing. In this proclamation, Colonel Murphy fmyd To th People of Plymouth I am ahout leaving artor spending nearly three weeks among the pour stricken people of your town, wliero I wont on reading in the IsVw York the nry 'ut call for assistance.

At tha liine I was sufiVring for sumy moniha from an attickof the dcepcut m. lancholy nud gloom, my suffering were ho so tbat I cured but little whether I iived or died but after witueHbing tho terrible aiihetion ot the pu jr people of Plymouth and rei hzing the contrast between my own and their condition, my rtfsp.mdoncy and fei liug of despair suddenly disappeared, ami I at oncu set to work to do what I could to ua. i. in allcviatiug tho distress prevailing, and I avo others to juJgo of tho result ot my elfurts. Aftor boing present at the mmy harrowing scenes of Buffi ring and attending at tho bedside of the poor, dying croaturitk, many of whom wero ontirely tiiti tutc, my heart wa moved to eumpasMoii and I wrote the letter to Mr.

Drexel, of recommending that part of the fuud i bo sent to one of all the peo plu in Plymouth who know abovo all otht ra those who needed apaiata ici, and in that letter I vuici the complaints of tho people I heard uttered on evtry side, aud God knows my zeal lu behalf of tho BuiVercra alono prompted mo in penning lhat commuujr.itio;, and which canned thn viulont attacks on tno." I leave Plymouth with regret, as I camo to stay while I could bo of any jvrvieo. and am eorry my motives have been I leave with no furling of malice or ill will toward any one. notwithstanding I was ftarfnlly attacked in tho fi curd by thia thoughtless young man (who ia no doubt inatiyated by others), who stills tickets at tho railroad dspatwith wuoin I was on the most fdtmdly terms, and who attributed my motives in coming to Plymouth to soitlHti ones. G.id knows the purity of my intontiona, which were alono promptod by and for the hive I bear for my follow man, without distinction. of race or I hope that this dreadful visitation is nearln its end, and my heurt uuaa out in lovo aud sympathy fur the sick and reuvi; out'.

i i A Brooklyn Man's Adventure on Long Island. Followed to tho Country by tho Kan who bas Sworn to Kill lllm Ordered to Say His Prayers and thea Shot at A Desperate Hand to Hand Strangle. What seems to have been a deliberate attempt to commit murder occurred at Lawreneo, near Far Rockaway, yestorday aftornoon. The perpetrator of the act was John O'Hara, of 221 Mott atreot, New lork, and hie intended Tlctlm was John F. Cownn, of 674 Hancock stroet, this olty.

Revenge la alleged to havo boen the motive. O'llara was at ono tlmo tho head porter in the Importing houso of Jaffray Pincus, Now York, and used his influence to get a position in his department. In tlmo Cowon succeeded O'llara, aud this fact rise to tho allegod attempt of O'Hara to lake Cow en's llfo. The latter says that O'Hara lost hia placo through lutomporauce and neglect of duty after being repeatedly warned by hla employers. On the other hand O'llara believes that Cowen conspired to oifocl bis discharge.

Soon aftor this OYont occurred O'Hara laid in wait for Cowen, after making a threat to kill bim, bat tbe person to whom O'Hara coaHded his homicidal Intention Imparted the information to Cowen, and be avoided bis would bs slayer. It Is allegod that on Wednesday O'Hara wont gunning for Cowen, but did not find him as he had gone down to Mr. place at Lawronca to ovorseo somo work somo men wero doing there. O'Hara learned of tho whereabouts of Cowon and Is alleged to havo said that he wonld follow him to tho country and murder hiin. Whether or not O'Hara really exprossed tbls deliberate purpose, It Is certain that he went by the Long Island Railroad to Lawrence and secreted himself for hours In tbo thicket which lies between tho railroad depot and tho abodo of Sir.

Pincus, and which Cowen must necessarily pans to get to tbo station. O'Hara'o opportunity arrived at last. Cow, a little after threo o'clock, was sauntering along toward tho railroad when his enemy got a glimpse of him. They wero within ten feet or so of 02ch other, Cowon entirely unaware of his danger, when ho was startled by O'Hara stepping into tho path and exclaiming tragically "Say your prayers, you dog. In another minute you die." Cowen says he that his onlychcucc of escape lay iu getting nearer to O'Hara and grappling with bim, and, acting under this su.ldon impuleo, ho dashed suddenly forward, somewhat disconcerting O'Hara aud rendering faulty bin aim.

When O'Hara fired the ball passed through Cowou's coat ou tho left side, juat above tho hip. Beforo tho marksman could cct another shot Cowen was engaging him at close quarters and finally got him down. O'Hara was tho stronger man and bo rolled Cowen over after a struggle. li? rc talnod possession of the pistol, and in his pu'orts to cock it for a second shot at Cowen it went off, tho bullet burying itself in tho wood of a treo. A woman cauio from a house not far away, attracted by tbo shuts aud Cowen's cries of murder.

The woman's preaeuco did not alarm O'Hara, and she, seeing tho pistol llashiug in tbe struggle, ran screaming homowarcl. Cowen says ho felt his strt ngth waning aud realized that he must bo killed if fortune did not favor him. It did. Ho inflicted upon O'Hara an injury which paralyzed for a moment. Oettl possession of tho rovolvor Cowon dealt O'Hara a stunning blow and got away as fat as ho could to tho dopot, arriving just In time for tho train.

Cowon left tho train at Jamaica and npplied to Justice Beits for O'Hara'H arrest ou tho alienations narrated above. Tho warrant was granted ami Oilicer.i Sprague and Lopp were sent to find O'llnn, Cuwen wai a good deal bruised anil scratched. Cowen loft tiio pistol iu poaseadon of Justice Uetta. It haa five chambers and carries a very largo ball. A CHASE AFTER Rl'KULAKS.

Miss Margaret Wood's Experiencs with the Doctor of Drrlnify who Claims to be the Beproseatatire of Christ Kerola tions from Heaven, Directing Her to Glre Her Fortuno for the Building of a Temple of God. The Ber. Dr. Monck is a well known personage In this city. About threo years ago hs cams to Brooklyn and began to figure as a healer of diseases by prayor and laying on of hands.

He advertised very freely and his services wero soon largely attended, chiefly by women. He Is about 50 years of age, of medium height, with brown hair and full beard and an attractive face. He has a voice of groat clearness aud Is an effective spoakor, his pronunciation and language showing him to be a man of education. Ha oamo hither from England, of whloh oountry he lg a native. Ho claims to be conncotod with a uoblo family.

From lime to time many persona prof6Bed to have been cured of all manner of diseases by Dr. Monck. His methods wore various. Sometimes ho would pray over tho patient, his doctrine being that so long as he possessed faith In tho power of God to cure disease, faith in tho subject was not necessary. Sometimes he laid hie hands on the sick person, aud oommandod tho disease to dopart.

At other tlmos ho gave the palient a handkerchief which ho had blessed. This was his method with thoso who lived at a distance. The newspapers wore plentifully suppliod with lists of cures effected by tho reverond opsritor, full names and addresses aud the nature of tho disease being given. For a long timo ho occnplod a houso on Adelphi street, and tho parlors woro nightly crowded with his followers. About a year ago Mr.

Houoy, a gentleman employed as his socrotary, sued him for salary. The cause was triod in tho Suprome Court, and many moBt extraordinary rovelatlouB were made. Tho doctor himself took the stand and spoke froely of his ability to heal through tho power of Christ. Ho gave his testimony In a and self possessed way, and was never abashed or disconcortod. The vordiot was sgaiiiBt hiin.

After this he almost disappeared from vlow. His advertisements In tho newspapers becamo fewer and briefer, and it was understood that his business had dwindled away. For some timo little or nothing has boon heard of him, but It appears that ho has Btlll being doing a good trade in a quiot way.

James A. Murtha. Notary Public. Kings County. According to tho statement of tho lndy'a friends Miss Wood, who Ib about 35 years of ago, waH first induced to visit Dr.

Mnuck's residonco soon after he began or.eration in this city. Tha "sisters" who thronged around Dr. Monck took a great interest in MIsa Wood. From timo to timo she was induced to subscribe to a fund to aid him In his work. It is uesdloss to say that MIhb Wood was thoroughly satisfied of Dr.

Monck'a sincerity and of the ginuiuess of his claims to divlno assistance as a healer. It is said that during tho trial already mentioned, Dr. Monck one day took a band of sisters," Miss Wood among them, to Dietor'a restaurant for luncb. Thoy had an oxpnnsivo spread. Just at the close Dr.

Monck retired and did not return. A gentleman, who was on very Intimate terms with Dr. Monck, Bald he was very sorry but he had left bis pockot book at home. Miss Wood had to pay tho bill. On anothor occasion, it is said, Dr.

Monck made known the sisters that ho was iu need of funds to aid bim In the fur business, in which ho wai engaged with a Captain Baker. All tho sisters regretted that they were short, but oue or them said Slator Mageie, you have money, lend $300 to aid the work of tho Lord." Sho did so, believing that, as was stated, Dr. Monok had bad a coaimunlcation from heaven that the BiBtorB wore to give him tho needful assistance. All the money procurod from Miss Wood was obtained, sho saye, on tho representation that Dr. Monck had receivod a divlno revelation that Bho Bhould assist the work.

When she absented horself from tho services for a time, Dr. Moncs wrote letters to her, in ono of which, in a jucose way, ho said that if sho did not come soon, he would come for her with a olub. MIbs Wood's frloudB at last discovered that she had allowed all her little fortune to pase into the bauds of Dr. Monok. When sho fouud that Bho had been victimized her mind becamo effected.

She declared that she had a command from tho Lord to offer up her siBtor's two children as a sacrifice and was found sharpening a kuifo for tho purpose of taking their lives. Thauks to tho care aud affection of her friends sho was restored to mental health aud is now sojourning in tho country. Sho Ib still, however, lu such a condition as precludes her taking any further stops at present to proceed against Dr. Monck. Her brother In law, Mr.

Young, has boon indefatigable In his exertions to recover tho money obtained from her. At noon to day hs received from Dr. Monck a check, and gavo a receipt in full, with tiio admfssiou, however, ho Bays, on tho part of Dr. Mouck, that the amount returned was not all tho money which ho had obtainod from Miis Wood. A reporter attempted to find Dr.

Monck, but was unable to'do so. It is understood, however, that ho denies that there was any criminality on his part and says that Miss Wood voluntar.ly intrusted bim with tho monoy to be used iu fiis businesB. MB. STUANAHAK'S LEAVE TARING. Saying Hood by to tlic Uridu Employes To tlay.
