REGISTER REILLEY GETS ANGRY. TO GET A PLACE. I O'CfM EDITION PROHIBITION. MUNICIPAL. QUICK WORK QUIET AGAIN.

The Trouble at the Penitentiary Apparently at an End. Convict Thomas Tivey, who received fifteen lashes from a rawhide at the hands of Keeper Kelly and Warden Green in tho Crow Hill Penitentiary yestorday, occupiod his usual coll to day. It was hinted that ho intended to try the insanity dodge, and his muttorings might bo token as an indication of such a courso. The warden is austalnod on all hands for his action In administering corporal punishment to Tivey. Mr.

Green's physical condition from work, auxioty and loss of sleep is auch that ho can hardly sot his mind to writing his report Commissioner Kissam says: Green has mado an offensive attack on mo, and says that I incited a riot at the Penitentiary. I shall demand an investigation." Commissioner Van Siclon says that discipline requires that thero bo no truckling to convicts.

QuackenbubU Takes Issue With Lawyer Hockwcll. Tho assertion by Lawyer Fenton Rockwell that Mrs. Quackenbush roves had authorized him to bo present at, but not to dofond, tho divorce suit brought by her first husband, has drawn from that lady an omphalic denial. In tho Exai.E was published an alleged authorization to tho abovo effect Indorsed on a summons in the case, and signed "Sarah Qtinckenbush," shown to tho roportcr by Mr. Rockwell.

Tho lawyer emphatically states that the lady knew her husband had commonced divorce proceedings; but the lady denies it as emphatically. "My mother paid him $120 to procuro the divorce. Ho asked at first 75, but afterward stated that thero were unexpected expenses, and ot various times ho received or f50 more." Did you write your namo to ony pnper In the divorce suit brought by Qunckeubush I signed no such paper." But Mr. Rockwell exhibited tho paper in court on Saturday." Not with my signature on. I signed nothing of tho kind, anil I mean to havo tho bogus divorce business probed to tho bottom." DID NOT WANT TO PROVOKE JEERS.

Why Bishop McNamara Did not Display tho Holy Water. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: With all due acknowledgement for yonr report in yosterday's Eaglb of tho observances of our Independent Catholic pilgrimago and baptisimal immersion in tho Harlem River, I must request you to allow me to correct a statement which was stated In somo Yew York papers of yestorday morning and followed up in tho Brooklyn papers in tho afternoon. This, if allowed to go uncorrected, would bo of great damage to my brethren as woll as to me, and as I am convinced that tho Eaole would not willingly misrepresent us, I respectfully ask spaco for tho necessary correction. Tho statomont alluded to is to tho effect that though 1 had promsed to minglo a portion of water from tho Jordan with tho waters of the Harlem ltiver I failed to fulfil that promise. Allow me to say that when robed for tho baptism I placed in tho bosom of my robo a vial of water obtained from tho Rivor Jordan, and surroundod by my assistants in the rivor, I drew forth the vial, poured Its contents Into tho Harlem unobsorvod by any save those attendants, and then committed tho vial to tho bottom.

Should any wondor why I performed this with so little ceremony, let mo say I did not wish to offer occasion for Jeers or scoffing to thoughtless peoplo or enemies who would ho only too ready to ridicule ovon so notablo a circumstanco as mlngliug with an American stream the waters of tho consecrated rivor. By Inserting this you will oblige, Yours respectfully, James Vincent (Bishop) McNamaka. Brooklyn, July 21, 1885. A Warm Discussion in Secretary Itlan hing'a Office. Special to tho Engle.

Washington, July 21. Register John Roilloy, of Now York, camo down to Washington last Friday and had an interview with Socrotary Manning. Tho interview was short, sharp and pointed. As tho story goes, Mr. Roilley opened tho conversation with tho Socrotary by asking if Tammany Hall would bo recognized in tho distribution of the Custom Houso patronage To this Mr.

Manning said ho did not know. Mr. lioilly asserted that Hubert O. Thompson had opened an ofllco opposite tho Custom Houso building and was really running that institution that no ono could bo appointed to any oDlco under Sir. Hoddou unless indorsed by Thompson.

At this the Socrotary got angry and said that ho was no politician aud would not mix up in tho fight botweon tho factions iu New York. No politician, eh said Mr. Roilley. Then you're a statesman aro you 7" I am glad that I'vo tho honor of mooting a statesman." Saying which Mr. Reilley took his hat and loft the Secretary without bidding him good by.

A LIVELY ROW. Bad Blood Among Hempstead Methodists. Country Store Customers Witness a Rough and Tumble Street Fight A Black Eye and a Banged Nose the Results of the Fray. Special to the Eagle. HEMI'STKAD, L.

July 21. Tho residents of this town wero thrown into much excitement last night by a fight which took placo at tho railroad station, between Oliver Hewlett and Stephen Powell, two of tho leading mombors of the Mothodist Episcopal Church. Hewlett is an old and respected merchant, and it Is said, has accumulated a fortune. Powell Is an ex villago trustee, and is foreman of tho Firo Do partmont. It appears that for somo time tho gentlemen havo had numorous difficulties, which finally resulted iu blows.

Whilo a crowd was colloctcd in front of tho country storo which adjoins tho railroad station, Hewlett and Powell wero scon approaching from opposite directions in wagons. Thoy stopped in front of tho store. As Powell was about to cuter, some ono said, There's going to bo music." Howlett, a few minutes later went into tho store, and, seeing Powell, remarked: "Horo again?" Powell becamo somowhat angered at the sneering way in which ho was addressed, and informed Hewlett that there was no one who could put him out of tho store. Finding that thero was likely to bo trouble, the proprietor requested both gentlemen to step outside, nn order which was immediately obeyed. When the men reached tho streot Hewlett, it is alleged, called Powell a liar.

Powell without tho slightest warning dealt Hewlett a stunning blow on tho right eyo which sent him sprawling to tho grouud. Howlett immediately regained his feet nnd followed Powell up. They struck out wildly, Howlett succeeding in giving I'cvell a stunning blow on tho nose. By this time several of the friends of both parties arrived and the combatants wero separated. Powell says that the first time ho meets Howlett he will not let him go until ho givos him a sound thrashing.

SUPERVISOR WILMS' WORKHOUSE PROJECT. He Will Ask tile County Farm Committee to Consider it. More than five mouths ago Supervisor T. B. Willis, of tho First Ward, introduced a resolution in tho Hoard of Supervisors in which, after setting forth tho advantages to ho gained from the establishment of a county workhouse and showing that any further largo expenditure of public funds upon enterprises of ovon such a valuable character was unadvisablo at the time, it was proposed that tho wholo business bo reforrod to the County Farm Committee.

That body, of which Mr. Ueasloy is chairman, has had its hands full Binco with tho work of selecting and recommending a sito for tho now farm. Now that this matter is in a fair way to a settlement, Mr. Willis believes that his project of a workhouse should have proper consideration at the hands of tho committee. It is understood that Supervisor Ueasloy and tho majority of tho committee agree with tho gontloman from tho First Ward.

A communication relating to tho overcrowded condition of the Penitentiary was referred to Mr. commltteo at the last meeting of tho Board and will bo considered by tho members of that body at a meeting to bo held at tho Crow Hill institution to morrow afternoon. When that part of tho business immediately affecting tho Penitentiary is disposed of Mr. Willis, who will bo present as an ox oflleio membor of tho committee, will move that tho consideration of tho workhouse project as introduced by him be taken up. Mr.

Willis is confident that no opposition will bo doveloped in the committee. COULDN'T PAY THE RENT. Why Justice Naeher Dealt iTSercifully with Edward Zechel.

Why," said Mr. Harkinson, tho company went on tho Btago last night lltternlly atarviug. Wo havo had twenty three rehearsals in tho last week, and when you consider that each rehearsal took threo or four hours you can hardly wonder that tho peoplo were UBod up.

The following is the official announcement of the timo and duration of high watorat New Yorli and Sandy Hook for to morrow, July 22: To Be Done on the Elevated Cable Road. President Corbln Says Big (Jnns will Boom AH Along the Line In a Day or Two. Engineers Jones and Van Uureu ou tho Atlantic Avenue Difficulties Vice Presl dent Iliehardson Says the Last Resolo tion or the Franchise is Unjust.

Tip to a late hour this afternoon tho first stroke of actual work on Iloorum place had not yet Ix cn made by tho Rroolclyn nnd Iiir Inland Cablo Railway Company and the Mr. Jones, did not visit tho ofllco of tho of City Works to day as has been Mm wont President Austin Corbln fald: "Meet of our work will be Klvon out In contractu. We ten days In which to begin work, but we wont use thnt timo up. In about threo days we w.U at work all aloof, the lino and then you'll t. (runs.

Woll stiow yov how quickly a road cm i iltt. We will becln," fald Engineer .1 by dlg KliiK the foundations on Hoerum miv. and wo may also dip a few holes on Atlantic avenue ut for tho rvike of lestin foundations. Our frr dilse Klvea UH the right to uso thirty feet in the center of tho ptreet for our pillars nnd foundations. Within that spnee we can expand or contract a we see fit, ub Ject to the approval of the city autiiorltioti, but wo must make allowance for the followjup; difficulties: l'ifleen or sixteen feet In thoecnterof the street roust not be interfered with, as it is needed for tho tracks of the Atlantic avenue surfaee rond; twenty ono feet in the center of Atlantic avenue, from Hicks to Boe r.im streets, must not Is touched.

I anse undor it is over the old tunnel. Then there arc two fifteen inch sewer pipes laid fifteen feet from the curb on each side, and then there Is th" fn il forty clghl inch water main, which lies lifi. en feet from tho curb in some places and oichteeu from It in others. We have not yet come to a understanding with the city authorities as to we are going to avoid these difficulties, but there will be no trouble iu making some agreement that will be good for evcryb.vly. Of course, till an agreement Is arrived at we will not get the right to build on Atlantic avenue.

So far as the general plans of our foundation and structure go they have been approved by tho city. Our foundations will ts of brick laid on concrete, capped' with stone. There i nothing especially new In our Ironwork, and, in fact. I may be wrong to say ironwork, for it may ts steel to a great According to tho present plans tho company the structure Is to bo wpinre, braced iu the ordinary manner and bearing three tracks. Tho outside rails of the outside tracks will come Just over tho rowtj of pillars.

City Knglneer Van Huron sahl that all that th company and city had yet to do was to roach an agreement oncernlng the way to avoid the difficulties on Atlantic avenue. "If the companies wero to put its pillars down according to its present plnn," hi added, "the foundation would lie right ovor tho water main. It seems probable that the company will have to move tho water main. If they decided to put their foundations over the main it would bo very e.icn. ive and very hazardous.

The sewer pipes, too, may have to be moved, but that la easy enough to In answer to the question, "Why did you not givo the company the right to proceed with work on Adams street as well as on Hoerum placer Mr. Van Huron said: "They did not make application for it yet, a.s their plans are not complete. Vice President William Richardson said this morniug: "Your paper last evening did our company an lnjustico which was gratuitous, I think, under the circumstances. It sai that the cablo ad had not claimed permUsiou to cross Kulton street because It was expecting tin bridge extension to be put through. Now that is not true, and I think tiic statement Is unjust for have given the city so many proofs of our goo I lately.

Wo are not holding back from Adams envoi at all, but when we get our plans ready for Hint portion of tho road we will present them Immediately, and if thoy arc approved we will go on with the work. I protest most solemnly that I had no Inicre. in that Bridgo extension when the Eaoi.k was ae. using me of working for It. Wo are going ahead to work on Adams street, but wo feel that the la resolution of our franchise puts us at a very great disadvantage and Is most unfair.

Hero It Is: i Aeff'', That this consent a to much of tho route as lies in Sands street an 1 Adam street and aeros i Kulton street tie upon this further condition, that if at any time the Hridge li. iilr. ho oxlendeil to a point at or near tne City Hall then and in that case this consent shall terminate and 1)0 of no effect beyond the end of Hoerum pla. whero It reaches Fulton streot, and ufMin the completion of such extension of tho Hridge tho Common Council shall prescribe for the Drook lyn and Long Island Cable Itail.vay Company a sui'iabie route for a connection with new terminus of the bridge. Vpon the designation of such route by such company it shall tie the duly of such company forthwith lo make such connection, and to remove so much of the structure between Iloerum place and the present terminus of the bridge as tho ommon 'ouncit may riifuire, leaving the streets In ns good condition as before said company entered, upon them.

Now that railway down Adams street will cost u.s ftlwiut Is it right that we should bo so undecided as to whether or not ii will Is permanent. That resolution was Inserted In the franchise aftor It left the Hallway Committee, and It puts us in a very unjust position. The Common Council havo the right nt any time to order us I i take our track up and remove our structure alto c.her." "Now suppose a mayor and board of aldermen ho want to make a strike got charge of tho clty'a affairs. What fine game wo wo ild tie for them. Still, we will go ou with onr work, trusting in tho Common Council's sense of fairness to protoel ua after wo havo built In good faith.

That is, If wo build this road on Adams street, tho end of tho bridge should remain where it is." MONEY MARKET. IlxporiN for the Week IniiiiiKrntioii tor (lie I'iNcnl Vcar IUcliauKc Advanced. Mo ell Irregular. Wai.i. Sthkkt, July I.

Peoples, a foreman at Morgan's Steamship Works, at tho Fif toeath Precinct Station House on the 7th Inst. Tho Btory in brief was that Peoples had been drinking and wns arrested and looked up In tho station houso. He claimed whilo In tho cell ho had been severely beaton Sergeant Lowe testifiod that ho was on tho desk when tho plaintiff was brought iu and saw him tho next, morning, Peoples then had black oyos and bleeding having an appcaranco which he did not tho night heforo present.

Hicliard G. Ilollahan, who Can bflcomosBole Icoseo of that house, The Attitude of the Party in the Fall Campaign. Probabilities that a Separate Ticket will be Placed in the Field The Local Tern perance Men and the Mayoralty A Talk with the Secretary of the New York State Assembly. A reporter of tho Eaom this morning met Mr. J.

L. Mitcholl, secretary of tho New York Stato Tcmperanco Assembly, which has a membership of 500 in this city, with branch organizations in most of tho towns in tho State. "Can you givo mo an idea of whnt tho Prohibition party will do in tho Stato this Fall?" osked the roportor. I presume," was tho reply, "as Is their custom, thoy will call a Stato convention and nomtnato a full tickot, If for no other reason than to keep their party intact Those who voted that tickot last year cannot bo considered party Prohibitionists, for I know quite a number of llopubllcans in Brooklyn who would not vote for Mr. Blalno or Mr.

Cloveland, but rather than not vote at all voted for Governor St John. It does not follow that all who voted tho Prohibition ticket last Fall will vote it this Fall. Ono thing seems to mo nssured that, notwithstanding the fact that a Prohibition ticket may bo in tho field, tho voto it will roceivo will depend largely upon tho action and attitude of tho other parties, and especially tho Kopublican party. I havo not the least doubt that an acceptable Ifepubllean candidate will recoivo a very largo support from Prohibitionists. Whilo I do not believe either In the necessity or desirability of an independent political party as tho best means of advancing tho causo I know that, in tho main, Its adherents are sincere in their applications with It as the best attainable means to the end sought There is usually a vast deal of buncombo and claptrap argument put forth by its advocates, nnd lioth in the State ami country ihey havo blundered in accepting Democratic money, not to advance Prohibition, but to disrupt tho Republican party.

And lust here I want to pay that the foremost theory of their lenders is to break up the Republican party as a primary object, and out of the general political havoc to have Prohibition becomo the spinal column of tho new party. This seems to me to be reprehensible. I have no sympathy with tho assertion that a party ts needed to enforce prohibition until it is the law. I have an idea that all efforts of the friends of Prohibition ought to be concentrated in the direction of securing tho law first, and then I believe proper officers can be secured to enforce it Constitutional prohibition is both reasonable and Just It is tho right of the peoplo of a State, and so the States courts have decided, to determine the question of tho sale and manufacture of intoxicating liquors. Much of the present antagonism to the Republican party arises because of their own action.

The Republican party State Convention at lfichiiehl Springs a fow years ago enunciated this same principle in their platform. Very few, if any, separate nominations were made by temperance men iu this State they generally supported tho Republican candidates, relying upon tho party to submit a constitutional amendment to the people. The Republican party, as a consequence, secured a large working majority in the Legislature, but when they were forced to tho issue they dodged it and defeated the project by a bare majority of two or three. Any ono who is lntcrc. in ascertaining tho causes of revolt by temperance mou, will find the reasons upon the surface of the party's history.

So I say tho voto the Prohibition party candidates shall receivo will not depend half as much upon tho notion of tho Prohibitionists ns upon the action of the Republicans. With few exceptions, in this locality, tho Prohibitionists were formerly Republicans; nnd I sny it with some knowledge of tho situation, thero are a great many temperance men who are still willing to trust tho Republican party, living in hopes that they will havo tho courngo of their convictions and net according to thoir professions of reform. If they don't they can't oxpect that theso elements will continue to affiliato with them. Tho Republican party havo tho power to mako such nominations as will be acceptable to tho reform elements In the State. If they do not, they'll havo no one elso to blame for defeat Abuse of Prohibitionists won't win or keep friends.

Prohibition party aliuso of Republicans cannot aid tho causo. Where there is one prohibitionist allied to tho Prohibition party there aro fifty prohibitionists in tho Republican party. The efforts of tho Republicans to chastise tho Prohibition party for its action in tho last national campaign, by defeating anti license candidates for Excise Commissioners in tho towns of this State, then establishing tho saloon and making husbands, fathers, sons aud brothers drunk, seems to me to be both unwise and dospicablo, and will In timo react with damaging forco. Thero have been named for Governor in New York Stato men who would bo perfectly satlsfaetory to tho great mass of tcmperanco men in tho Stato and whose nomination would securo the active suii pcrtof temperance men in tho "As to tho Mayoralty "The same rule will apply locally. The friends of tcmperanco Iu this city are a largo majority they aro sufficiently independent to go alono If necessary, but should tho Prohibition party havo a city ticket in tho field its support will depend upon tho action of other parties and especially tho Republicans.

I shall not at this time mention any nnmes, but I feel qulto sure from statements mndo by Prohibitionists that they would be glad to support an acceptable Republican candidate for Mayor, about whom the best elements of tho community could rally one in whoso administration thoy could have confidence The liopublicnn leaders will bo wise to look before thoy leap, and not seek to forco a candidate through the primaries and attempt to compel public support" DESERTED HIS CHILDREN. Kieliard Ellis Docs Attend ISIm Uaby'H Funeral, Itichard L. Ellis disappeared from the Eastern District last week leaving behind him two living children and ono unburied dead ono. His wife died about two months ngo. After her death Ellis failed to provide for his children, and a Mrs.

Ex Register Barre to be Made Deputy Mr.

Hcdden Indorses His Application and it is Sent to Washington Talk About Other Appointments. It was reported in political circles this morning that ox Hegister William Barre had boon appointed Deputy Collector under Collector Hedden. Tho report credited Mr. Barro with having obtained his appointment yosterday. It was not received with goneral satisfaction among Democratic ward workors.

Such as wero met by an Eagle reporter in various ways expressed the opinion that Mr. Barre should not have been takon care of until active Democrats who had received no favors from their party had been provided for. In other words, tho grumblors believed that Mr Barro had made a competency, at the least, out of his party, and could afford to stand asido whilo his less fortunato brethren pressed their applications for places. Mr. Barro's friends, howevor, claimed that ho had not hold omco in somo timo, and as a Doputy Collector could bo of sorvico to his friends in Kings County.

Tho fact is that Mr. Barre was not appointed yostorday. He sont his application to Collector Hod don and that official indorsing it favorably forwarded it to Washington. If tho application moots with approval in Washington, and it unquestionably will, Mr. Barre will receive his appoiutmont somo day this weok.

There is no question concerning Mr. Barro's ability to nil the position to which he aspires. His papors are indorsed by tho most Influential Doniocrats and business men of this city. Tho appointment of Edward J. Howe as Assistant Appraiser under Appraiser McMullon gives general satisfaction, and is regarded as one of tho best appointments made undor the Administration.

Mr. Howe is a rosidont of the Sovonth Ward; ho was de foatod when ho ran as a Democratic candidate for Mayor, and subsequently mot with business rovorses which deprived him of all his moans. He is an elderly gentleman, too old to rebuild his shattered fortunes in a business world whore ho would havo to compoto against much younger men but ho is not too old to discharge tho duties of his ofllco with ability. Tho appointments of Brooklyn men that have been mado by tho Custom House authorities would seem to indicate that Kings County is to bo conceded one third of tho patronago across tho East ltiver. The leaders of tho local Democracy, however, think that in the lightof la3t Fall's vote tho orgatzation is entitled to greater consideration.

Ex Uegister McLaughlin and family will probably start for Lake Georgo on Thursday next Mr. James Shovliu and wife will accompany Mr. McLaughlin's family.

Thoy wero of tho opinion that ho could bo of servico to them iu their efforts to secure potty positions in tho Navy Yard and elsewhere, nnd ho would not run away from them.

To an Eaole reporter ho said today, at he wiped the perspiration from his forehead: il Tho heat is "beginning to tell on mo, and I've got to get out I'm hardy yet, but ns tho old song goes, 1 not so young as I used to bo, somo fifty years When I go to tho country I drop nowspapors aud politics. I go for rest, and I generally get it" Tho old chieftain has had enough to tiro him out within tho last fow weeks. Daily ho has met delegation aftor delegation of ofllco sookers, and listened hour aftor hour to their claims upon his friendly offices. Ho has Leon buttonholod on tho street, hnltod on tho stops of his residence, and importuned at every turn. For instance, ono night after ho had retired ho was awakenod by a reporter tugging at his door bell.

Ho answered tho call himself. What do you want?" ho asked. "Who is your candidate for Collector?" inquired tho roportor coolly. I felt liko throwing him off tho stoop," said Mr McLaughlin, subsequently. But then I thought ho was simply oboying ordors, so I simply closed tho door."

The Shifting of the "Water Main Necessary. An Expensive Undertaking A Bank's Claim to a Street Guarding the Public Health Exit Captain O'Grady. Commissioner Flooman and Wator Purvoyor Milne had a talk to day In regard to tho construction of tho elevated cable railway on Atlantic avenuo.

As already oxplalnod tho construction of the road according to tho plans proposed will lnforfere with tho 48 inch water main on tho north sldo of tho avenuo. No decision has boon arrived at in tho matter, and tho talk to day revealed little that is now. Mr. Milne said that tho shifting of tho main would of courso havo to bo done by tho department at tho oxpenso of tho company, and would cost about $50,000. If the company should build Its structure from curb to curb, as has been suggostod, a third moro of iron would bo required then if the structuro was ovor tho conter of the avenuo alono, and Commissioner Fleoman said that tho Common Council would havo to authorizo tho chango in the character of tho work.

Mr. Milno said tho company, in ordor to avoid the wator main, might lay a foundation on each side of tho main and build ovor it a wrought iron archway. Wrought iron, howevor, corroded very quickly in tho earth. Then, again, in order to give tho arch sufficient strongth it would havo to bo brought abovo tho sur faco of tho avonuo, and a leak in tho main would sap tho foundations of tho olovatod structuro near it. So it seemed that tho main must be shifted or tho road must bo built from curb to curb.

Mr. Milne's opinion is that the cheapest thing for tho company to do will bo to shift the main. Chiof Engineer Van Buren is roprosonted as Inclined to agreo with him. EXIT O'OItADV.

Tho city consontod to outry of Judgment on tho decision of tho Court of Appeals in tho caso of Joseph F. Knapp against tho city. Lawyor John T.

Barnard hasentored Judgmont in twenty six similar cases. Tho Common Council has consented to tho payment of tho Ju lgmeuts. Tho complaint in each action is similar. It alleges that at tho dates mentioned tho Board of City Works and tho Common Council completed and confirmed a certain assossmont which was thereby imposod on tho lands of tho plaintiff, and that, though such assessment was apparently within tho powers of tho Common Council and valid on its faco and constitutes an apparont lien on plaintiffs lands, it was renlly illegal and void, of which fact tho plaintiff was ignorant and could not have obtained any knowledge. Tho assessment was illegal for those reasons: Tho work was lot nt a moro reasonable prico than tho rate charged in tho assessment, but tho ofllcors of tho city drove out tho original contractor, who had given ample security, and gavo tho work to another, at a prico grossly abovo tho markot value.

Tho rate of tho first contract only should havo been charged, and tho difference iu cost between tho first contract ami tho second, should havo boon collected from tho security givon by tho first contractor, and credited upon tho improvement and assessment Tho cost was wrongfully increased by tho city through calling for work to bo douo which was not required and by calling for work to bo done in a superior manner which was dono in nn inferior manner, all at a prico which was to cover tho work not dono and the superior work. Tho contractor was in collusion with the Department of City Works and was thus permitted to avoid a compliance with the specifications and contract, thus beuofiting tho contractor and cheapening tho work without roduclng the charge upon tho proporty. In this way tho city knowingly and wrongfully paid a prico greatly in excess of what tho work was worth, and included this unjust oxcess in tho assessment laid upon tho lauds of the plaintiff. Furthermore, grossly excesslvo, oppressive and illegal charges wero imposod, such as fc03 for engineers, surveyors, inspectors, collectors, assessors, Plaintiff, believing that the assessment was Just and under coorcion of law, paid it, and demands Judgment reducing tho assessment by tho illegal amount so pnid and for tho recovory of such amount, with interest Thero are several hundred similar Judgments against tho city yet to bo filed, and tho whole amount will reach hundreds of thousands of dollars.

A BLOOD CLOT. The Singular Injury it Has Caused to Thomas F. Segur. It Lodges at the Entrance of a Small Ar tery in His Leg Pain Followed by GangreneA Rare Case. On Tuesday morning last Mr.

Thomas F. Segur, who Is 21 years of i left his reside: at 89 Henry street, to walk across the Bridge his place of business. He is employed as a clerk in the office of Iiillon Swayne. in the Western I'nion Telegraph Building. Just beforo reaching the Now York terminus he complained of n.

pain in his rl lu leg, nnd said to a fellowclerk who hail accompanied him on the walk. "I wonder if this Is rheumatism. I never had liefore." Tho pain increased so rapidly that by the time Segur had reached the Post Office he was hardly able to limp, and when he arrived near the Western Union Building he was powerless to ascend the steps. Some of the people who were passing in the street lifted him In their arms to the vestibule of the building, whore a chair was placed for him. and ns the pain showed no abatement, an officer was notified and an nmbulanee hastily summoned.

Young Srgur w. im first taken to the Chambers streot Hospital, where the surgeons In charge are said to have pronounced the caso to bo ono of paralysis, ami as the condition of tho young man was oridently such as to demand care and perhaps confine him to his bo for somo weeks, he was removed lo the New York Hospital, where a room was provided lor him. e.aiiiii:.v.ion it was found that the cause of Mr. Segur's sufferings was a clot of hpvod that had ias.se, I down one of the larger arteries of tils leg and had stopped at the mouth of a losser artery unable to pa through it. This had the effect of cheeking the, irculat ion below tho point of stoppage, and it was not long before gangrene set In, involving the foot ami lower leg.

In order to save the young man's life was resolved to amputate the limb, and this operation will be performrd very shortly. A friend who called on Mr. Segur iu the hospital a few days ago found him in a state of comparative comfortf as everything possible is done to allay the pain. The foot and lowef leg are perfectly black, and are, to all nppo. iranoos, dead.

There is no sensation in the foot. The cause of tho formation of the blood clot is not known, but it is suggested that In a momentary cessation of the action of the heart it might have time to compact itself in one of the vcntrieles, and thence pass out into the circulation. Such eases are quite rare. There was one in the Eastern Ii'tstri. Hospital some years ago of a negro who was brought in suffering from a clot that had formed or lodged In the vessels of the calf of the leg near the knee.

overheard the surgeons discussing the method of an operation and was so terrified thnt he arose In the night, dressed himself and made his escape. What ultimately became of him is not known to the hospital authorities. Inquiry at the New York Hospital to day respeet ing Mr. Segur's condition elicited only a peremptory refusal of any Information. IHDS LOWER THAN' LAST YEAR.

About ten days ago rumors were circulated in the neighborhood of No. SGI Twenty first streot, to the effect that a child of Mrs. Becky Boston, who resides at tho above address, had been made away with in a most mysterious manner.

Tho entire correspondence, comprising six or oight letters and several postals, was referred to Captain Murphy, who was instructed to look into tho matter carefully, and, if possible, secure evidence of tho crime that would warrant tho arrest of tho parties concerned. The case was put into tho hands of tho officers of the Eighth Precinct, but they failed to learn anything concerning the affair, and the matter was dropped, Captain Murphy, in his report to tho Acting Superintendent of Police, MacKellar, giving it as his opinion that there was nothing in tho case more than a neighbors' quarrel. Yesterday morning about threo o'clock whilo Officer McCIulnnoss, of tho Eighth Precinct, was patrolling his beat on Twenty first streot, ho was approached by a man who asked him to stand in front of Xo. 201 whilo he jtim ped over the fence and dug up tho body of the infant that was buried thero.
