The ordor of attaohment against the soventaon delinquent Aldermen, granted by Mr. Justice Gilbert, was returnable this morning. Tbe Sheriff produced his prisoners in court, and there was a full array of counsel. Mr. Brltton represented all the aldermen but Mr.

Roberts, who appeared by MeBBrs. Ward tt Jenke, Mr. O'Connell was absent from illness. Mr. Brltion said that they denied the contempt.

After the usual preliminaries, Mr. David Barnett, for the application punish tor contempt, read a proposed order, directing interrogatories to bo filed, in the office the County Olork, and fixing a day for the further hearing In oourt. He then read the proposed in terrogatories. One of them was, "Did yon attend the meetings of the Common Counoll between Deoember aud 31, 1881 7" Mr. Justloe Gilbert ruled it out, saying that it was sufficient to ask: "Was a oopy of this paper writing containing the injunction eerved upon you?" Mr.

Button said they would answer an tne interrogatories by one o'clock. Then Mr. Britton offered to waive Interrogatories and go to trial on affidavits. The other side objeoted. Mr.

Barnett read the rest of tbe interrogatories, which wore wordy and twenty six In number. Their object was to get answers from the delinquents, showing that they passed the resolution on Deoember 31, when tho Injunction order was In force. Mr. Britton said three quarters of the lntorrogatorlos wore of no use and simply encumbered the record. Ex Judge Cooke said thoy purposed to show that it was a criminal contempt, and, therefore, the faot of their going into executive session with closed and guarded doors was of Importance.

Tho court said all that wsb uoedful to ask was, Did thoy pass the resolution when they were enjoined 7 If was willful, they could not make it mora willful by anything they did. Mr. Britton said there would be no attempt at evasion. Tho oourt said that the first interrogatory must be, Was the injunction sorved7 Next, Was tho resolution passed, what ooourred and who voted, where was the meeting held, who attended and what woro the olrcuni stancee 7 There would be no evasion, and testimony could bo taken, If neoeasary.

James Walsh, the murderer of Barbara Groentbal, The motion made before hie Honor waB for a writ of error and a stay ot proceedings pending appoal to the Court of Appeals. The Judge grants the motion, and acoompsnies the deolslon with the sub Joined optnlon: People vs. Walsh The judgment of the General Term affirming tbe prisoner's conviction was rendered by divided Court, ono of the judges holding that error had been committed on tht trial, and tbe Judgment should reversed. This difference ot opinion, in my judgment, clearly entitles the prisoner to a review or his trial by the highest tribunal A writ of error in capital coses always issues where probable error on the trial appears. The prisoner's exception, having oom manded the approval of one or jndg ppi, cannot be said to be without merit or frlvolons, even though thoy may finally appear not well taken.

Writ of error and etey granted. j. Ivrut nM U. Jtla tlee Dykman. Tho General Term sontenoed Welsh to be hanged on the 2Qth Inst, and this etay, of course, romoves the present danger of the gallows.

On the trial, ex Judge Dalley, of counsel for the acoused, offered testimony In relation to tbe aotions of a brother of the prisoner, "Buck" WalBb, who shot a keeper at Sing 8lng, where was imprisoned. TblB evidence was offered for the purpose of proving that the prisoner's brother was a victim of epllepBy, and that there was epilepsy in the prisoner's family. Tbe oourt exoluded the evidence and although the Judgoe, Barnard and Gilbert, held that it was not error, Judge Dykman held to tbe contrary opinion, that the exclusion of the evidence aa to tho brother's mental condition, was error, and entitled the prisoner to a new trial. Walsh was tried before Judge Psatt, In March last, and convicted of murder In tho flrBt degree. Court of Sessions.

The members of the National Greenback Labor party met in their headquarters, 865 Fulton etreet, last Saturday evening, to organlte the new cen tral Committee of Kings County for the year 1883. Long before the hour of mettsng the ball wis well filled with earnest men, who seemed to be ruuy con vinced that there is something radically wrong with the financial system of the eonctry, Obairman tfsgulre, of tbe Central Committee of idsi called that body to order, and after disposing of the unfinished business It adjourned nine He, the members vacating their teste to make room for the delegates to the new committee, A tAmnorarv oraanization waa sneedlly effeoted by the election of Walter B.

The dulInoEB whioh has prevailed in tho Third Treclnot for tho past fow weeks wae ended last night by an exciting Incident whloh oocurred on Paoifle ttroet, and which arouse the enthusiasm of a crowd of over 11 70 hundrod pcoplo. It was not entirely tlovold ot humor, notwithstanding the fact that Its reaalta were most disastrous to tho gontleman who In It figured most eonspiouously. What la known at the old Patohon farm house, a four story frame building tht appearance of which wonld justify the conclusion (hat ft had braved the Btormi of many ooutury, stands on PacIQo street, on the cast Cotifi, its number be? lng 211. Various illustrious families have dwelt in it since the time it was built, and probably none of greater renown than Its present ocoupant, who lately graced the classic regions ot Smoky Hollow, and who moved therefrom four months ago, IThe head of tha household is Mr. Bernard MoLano, who la twontyftvo years of age and who, by reason of the fact that ho does not work, seems to be Inclined to the opinion that tho community In which he lives ctu certaluly afford to support one gentleman decently.

Mr. McLane married a woman somewhat older than himself, and, as appears from tho police reoords, has recently been keeping his musole In trim by showering blowt on lior head, Its terday the young man war feeling PARTIClULAB.Lt BLITHEaOMff, resulting from a visit to hie old friends in the "Hollow," who recoived him in prtneely style and Induced blm to test tho quality of the liquids whloh that far famod region oan produoe. It was but nttural that he should deoorato tbe eyes of his spouse when ho returned to tha old Patchen homestead, and tho cries of the latter brought a policeman to the bouse in the person ot Tom Collins uot tho original individual, but Offloor Tom Collins, of tho Third Proclnot. Roalixlng that tho polioo wore after him, lfoLaue ran to the roof, closely pursued by tho officer. There waa one or three oonrses open for blm to pursue, either to submit to arrest, Jump from the roof, or take a flying leap down the chlnitrsy.

To submit llko a lamb was contrary to the obtvalrlo Instincts imbibed at the hollow; to jump from the roof was decidedly risky to slide down the chimney was perhaps the best thing to do undor the olroumstaneas, and this was the plan that Instantaneously flashed upon the tnlud of the dashing Barney. That he went down tho ohtmney was certain, for when the policeman roaohed the roof his man was nowhere to bo seen, but there were evidences of mauling on tht ohtmney top. The officer returned to the station house and narrated his story. Captain Leavey eagerly seized hie olub and revolver and with the assistance of Sergeant Dyer, Detective Rooaa and Officers Iioo'c, Rourke, Collins and Walker, made bis way for tbe scene of tbo exploit. The eight of so many policemen entering a domlcilo and the already widely circulated story of the man in the chimney attracted a crowd which swolled In numbers until there were over five hundred poople In front of the house, making night hideous by their shouts.

How to extricate the unfortunate Barney was the problem to solve. Captain Loavey dirocted tho engineering portion of the scheme, having proeured tho additional assistnuco of two masons, named respectively Caroy and Moran, who brought pickaxes with thorn. The wall of the third story was brokoo but uo ono waa visible. There came, however, A GENTLE VOICE FROM BELOW, which said: "For sake lot up, the bricks are falling on me." It waa evident that Mr. MoLane had had a bigger fall thau he bargained for.

Work was commoucsd on tho ohimney at tho floor below, and after a fow strokos with the pick, a voice came up tho chimney, saying "Look out for my leg or eleo you'll break It." A tape moasuro was produced by Sorgeant Dyer, who, after noting the spot where the man's legs were, measured upward a cortain dlatanco, and aald 'Tea, If I mlatake not, his Head Is about here that ie aeoord lng to my cloBSBt mathematical calculations," and tha sorgeant looked profoundly wise. It wsb nearly half past 10 o'clock when tho young man wat reloased from his unenviable positlou. Ho wae oovered with soot, and was hailed by the orowd on the Btroot with every manifestation of delight. Locked up over uiglit in the station house, he was srraigaod before Justloo Bergen this morning on a cbargo ot intoxication, and sent to Raymond street Jail for ton days. On his release he will be held on a ohargo of assault and battery preferred against him by his wife.

O'KKttfrftt, UsUtxar 9 fM. A Sleeting of Members of the Board of Education. Tunis G. Bergen and Be. Dome to be Nominated for President and TIee President fiespcctlvelv at the Meeting of the Board To morrow Messrs.

Berrl and Perry Likely be Elected. A week ago it was supposed that it would simply bo a waste of time to try to prevent the election of Tunis G. Bergen as president of the Board of Education. Mr. Bergen was a candidate in July last, when he found a successful rival in Daniel Mauler, but most of tbe gentlemen to whom he then owed hla defeat gave np their seats when Mayor Low cent in his list of nominations, and It looked, salt Mr.

Bergen's tn.t had oome in snoh unquestionable shape that it would be worse than useless to opEao his candidacy. The element with Yftjloh Messrs. Cole, Campbell, Cnlyer and others had been prominently to be and really wot utterly (Unorganized, and It was making a virtue, ojf ceeesaity to acquiesce in the choice of Mr. Bergen as (empdrarf preildifij officer IT he fast meeting of the board, Slnoe that time, however, the conditions have under gone revolution as unexpected ae it ia complete, Mr. Bergen's ohancaj of success being now infinitely more remote than his chance of failure were a week age.

A combination of very unusual circumstances invested him with a MOMENT ABT STRENGTH which began to fritter and fade oa soon as the hew members and tbe old had time to look eseh other in the faoe. Mr. Bergen's1 friend made a grave mistake at the very threshold. If they bad not celled him to the ohalr the new members might have taken for granted his ability to Oil it, and the wisdom of affording them an opportunity of Judging for themselves before a choice waa made was more than doubtful. However, sinoere his purposes may be, Mr.

Bergen's manner Is unfortunate. He can be passably commanding in demeanor when bis attributes are well considered and hie physical dignity being beyond the possibility ot improvement. In spite of these qualifications, as a presiding officer, he failed to make a favorable impression, and before he laid the gavel down It began to look as though somebody else might grasplt. When tho memberB looked about them for an available man, Mr. Berrl began to attraot attention.

He has the dignity of a Bergen and the instincts of a gentleman. He cams to the front with astonishing rapidity, and those who claim to know declare that at least twenty of the thirty old members of the board will vote for him. There Is an honest desire on the part ot many members ta put an end to the faotlonal disputes whloh have brought the board into disrepute, and Mr. Bergen's pronounced identity with a faction dates back to the origin of factionalism In the board. It is at this point that a fow words whloh have been credited to his honor the Mayor become Interesting.

He was asked whether or aot he had any ohoiee in the matter of the presldenoy, and his reply was to the effect tbat he would like to see eleoted a member identified with no olique, and that If the new president manifested any disposition to IOSTEB FACTIONALISM, he would hear from the Mayor's office il the office ever an opportunity to be heard from with effect. It has been elslmed that Mr. Bergen is the Mayor's choice, and this la simply not the case, if a gentleman who la on excellent terms with his honor is to be believed. Mr. Bergen's friends held a oaucua on Saturday in Mr.

Dana's offloe. Three or four of the new members were in attendance and seven or eight of the old ones, and the propositions were disenssod at length. It wrs decided that Bergen end Doane would rnn well together and accordingly the latter gentleman waa selected as a oandldate for vice presidential honors. Mr. Bergen is said to have given tho moat emphatio assuranee that ho will not discriminate between riond or foe so far aa the appointment of oommiitees Is concerned, if he is successful, and that Mr.

Alexander will look in vain for a place upon the SshoolhonBe Committee. Thero is a significance in this whieh is woll understood, and It may have the effect of dampening the ardor, as a eupporter of Mr. Bergen, of the gentlemen most concerned In It. It seems to be understood that the candidates on the other side will be Berrl and Perry, eo that whichever tickot is success! ul, both districts of tho olty will be represented. Mr.

Berri's affiliations have been ot a charaoter so peouliar that hli eleotion would be a fatal blow at tho spirit whloh has been so infiuentihl in dividing the board into a olique. A GREAT FIRE. One of Havemeyer Elder's Sugar Refineries Destroyed, Ah Estimated Loss of $1,50,000 The Greater Part Covered by Insurance. Many Employes Thrown Out of Work. Bow the Other Buildings Adjacent Thereto were Saved A New Building to be Erected.

ono ti Wuit auruotive uua at me same time the grandest conflagrations whloh have ooanrred in the Eastern District' In years was the burning of the principal one of the great sugar refineries belonging to the firm of Havemeyera Elder, in that section, yesterday afternoon and evening, by which $1,600,000 worth of property was destroyed. At li minutes past 4 o'olook the fire was discovered on the first floor of the center of the seven story briok building, bounded on the oast and west by First street and the East River, and on the north and sonth by South Third and South Fourth streets. The building, whloh was erected more than a quarter of a century ago, was a substantial one, but was not fire proof. It was 200x190 feet In dimensions, but the premises, on whloh there were sheds and small bonses near the wator, were considerably larger. Across First etreet, on tbe east of the building, stands an immense iron strncture, eloven stories high, which has a frontage of about 130 feet and a depth of about 60 feet, and whloh is need as a boiler house and for the storage of material used in the refining of sugar.

It is known as the ohar and boiler house. The refinery is heateO from it and all its ma. chlnery worked by tho steam communicated through pipes laid undor the street, so that THERE WAS NO FIG 8, nor a necessity for one, in any part of It. A large iron bridge at the third stories, and crossing the street, conneoted the two buildings, so that material eonld be taken baok and forth without interruption. An under ground fireproof tunnel, with iron doors, also con.

neoted the buildings. On the nortn oi me rennery and running parallel with it is another building used for refining purposes; it is five stories in height, about 100 feet front, snd extend to tho river. This structure is conneoted with the main by an iron bridge at the third story. North of that building and only separated from It by a few feet of vacant ground is another great atruoture lately purchased by Havomeyers Elder, from Wintjen 4 Harms. In the rear of It, near the water front, a new building eleven etorfes (n height is in course of erection.

Separated from this structure by a narrow roadway, wbloh Is intended as tbe continuation of South Second street, is a magnificent eleven story re finery of the Kings Connty Sugar Refining company. South of the burned building is a ten story, firs proof building, running from First Btreet to the river, and from South Fourth to South Fifth etreete, also belong ing to Havemeyere is Elder. II le used for the etorage of refined sugar, and ie connected with the refinery by a tunnel, the same as the one already deBcrinea. There were eight thousand barrols of sugar in It yesterday. Mr.

Havemeyer has another storage house, not so high, adjoining the last named one. It is bounded by First street and the river, and South Fifth and South Sixth Btroets. The burned building and its connecting bnildiogf are thus desoribea to show the danger there was of having ont of the greatest conflagrations whichever ocourred in Brooklyn, Only separated by three or four blooks on the north and south from the buildings do sonbed, are two other Immense sngar refineries snd a cooperage establishment, belonging to Havemeyera Elder, beside four other refineries belonging to different firms, THE TIBS. At three o'oloek yesterday afternoon Theodore A. Havamever.

head of the firm, visited the premises. Ho left the Bouth Third street refinery at four tfoloek. Three watohman, the ohief engineer and two asslstanta, two superintendents and a few workmen remained in In the building after his departure, nau not noen gone more than a quarter of an hour when a watohman who had left the refinery noticed a dense smoke and some fire In the storeroom on the first floor in the center of the building and near First street Ho promtly re entered the building and gave an alarm, at the samo time sending ont a oall for tbe fire department The men already mentioned as being In the building rallied and need the fire apparatus there us til the arrival of tht fire engines. The first alarm bronght Engines 11, 16 and Truck No. Engines 18, IB, 18 and Truek No, 6 responded to a eeeond alarm; Engines 9, 10, 17 and Truok No.

8 responded to a third alarm Engines 5, 7, 10 and Truck No. 3 responded to the fourth alarm and Engines 7, 8 ana 19 answered the speelaloalL The New York flreboat Havemeyer came to the scone of the conflagration at soon as the officers saw It The tugboats Stone and F. W. Devoa came later on. Chief Engineer Nevlns and Assistant Chief Smith and District Engineers Farloy, Frost, Perry, Minard and Cunningham were promptly on band, and under the Instruction ot tho two chiefs the engineers directed the operations of the firemen.

When the engines responded to the first call, the fire bad gained reat headway on the first floor, and was dart Ins in fitful gnats np hatchways ana stairways to the upper floors. Ne time was lost in laying tbe hose and dlreoting streams of water on the flames, whloh be came fleroer and fiercer every minute. The other alarms and the special call were ssnt out in rapid succession snd the engines and trucks oame rattling along the streets from all directions in response, followed by great orowds of yonng men and boys. The off platoon of the Fifth Precinct police, under Acting Captain Bunee and Sergeant Hallett, were early on hand, snd sueceeded In keeping 'the surging mati of human itv baok. Finding the Are extending and tbe crowd lnoTttalng, detachments from the Sixth, Seventh end Thirteenth Dreclnoti were telegraphed for.

Filet of men were stretched across FlAt street at Bouth Beoond South Tb(rd and Bouth Fourth streets, near Second street, and First street, at Sonth Fifth, with instructions to let no civilians Inside tht lines bnt members of the press. The precaution was thoughtful, for were It not for the exertions of the police and the good Jndg ment of Acting Captain Bonce some serious accident, if not catastrophe, would most likely have oocurred. By the time all the engines had arrived, Boveral uoors were A MASS OF FLAME. Firemen, bote in hand, were stationed in the buildlnga opposite, on First and South Third and South Fourth streets, and the fire boat and the two tugboats were nourlnn constant streams of water on the building In the rear, to prevent the Barnes from, commuulntlng Daniel Green's to Mayor Quiet Visit liOW.

Said to be in Moro dot Water His Vemnerance sTriends Reported to be Opposed to His Aotton Against Gen oral Jourdanr Tho Story of a S'25 Check. It is said that the Reverend and General Conway, whose trouble with Rev.

Dr. Fulton haa been fully ventilated in the Eaols, la likely to be oalled to account by the temperance organisation with which he la conneoted by reason of his late lotion in attack ing General Jourdan. It will be remembered that General Conway headed the delegation of temperance men who went before Mayor Low a few days ago and urged the appointment ot an en tirely new set of Exolse Commissioners. It Is said that General Conway had no anthoriaztlon to ast for the organisation, of which he la a paid officer, and that in attaoking General Jourdan he grossly misrepre sented the views of its members. With the exception of tbe extreme and Intolerant wing of tbe temperance army, tnoludlng Messrs.

Conway, Morton and Whitney, General Jourdan has always stood well with the organ ization, his offlolal aotlon tending in every possible way to lessen the number of liquor stortB, and at far as practicable enforce the Exciee law. Slnoe General Josrdan assumed sole control ot the polioe department, Messrs. Blears and Colell have for the most part managed the Er. else bnreau, bat he always resolutely set hie face against Increasing the number of Usances. General Conway not very long ago was ono of aeneral Jourdan's most earnest eulogists, ana he was one or the most frequent visitors to Police Headquarters.

On one ocoasion he told General Jourdan that the Temperance Brotherhood or some other temperance organisation, was lu a finan cial straight and could not pay him his salary. General Jourdan took the hint and drew his check for JM, payable to General Conway. It turned out that General Jourdan finally beoame annoyed at the frequency of Mr. Oenway's visits end allowed him to remain in the eorridor until he transacted suoh bueineea as he had on hand. General Oonway wae mo.cn offended by this it Is understood based one ot his objeo tione to General Jourdan's reappointment ea ground while before tht Mayor tha other day.

Positions of tho Parties to the General Committee Fight Stalwarts aid Half Breeds to MeasHre Strength lu the Selection of a Chairman John A. ffiokols and Edwin Packard the Probable Candidates Yiews of the Situation Expressed by the Leaders The Politicians Exeited.

Among the more activo of the local Republican politicians thero waa a great deal of talk to.day over the impending contest for control of the Kings Oouotp Republican General Commiteee of 1882. The adjournment of tho cauous on Saturday night was rather unexpected, aud many or the delegates said today that nominations have been made for officers of the committee In accordance with tho common nsago, Mr. Daggett's statement, however, ho had reached an understanding with Mr. John A. Niohols that the cauous should not be held before Monday night, waa readily accepted, and the delegates adjourned without adopting a list of candidates fer presentation to tbe committee at the regular meeting to morrow night, HOW THE CONTEST LOOKS.

There are 138 delegates in tbo General Committee as at present organized. Three vaoancles existing In the Sixteenth Ward delegation are being filled at a primary held thia afternoon and evening. The vaoancles are those ot Henry Kllue and William Geltllnger, whose terms have expired, and'Fire Jacob Worth, who coseod to be a member of the General Committee upon the discovery of the aot that he was not a member of his ward association. It is oxpeoted that the primary will be bitterly contested by the Worth and antl Worth forces. Since the last eleotion the roll of the ward association has been revised by a speolal committee consisting of Kdwlu Packard, Michael J.

Dady and Dr, P. D. Leys. These gentlemen will aleo oversee the primary this afternoon. The aontest for control of tho General Committee le so close that a great deal will depend upon the reanlt of the Sixteenth Ward primary.

There was a story about to day that Mr. Worth would seek readmiseion to the General Committee, but it was set at rest by the assertion that he is not yet a member of the ward association, and cannot enter the General Committee, In tho contest for control of the committee, the ohalr maneblp will be the oentral point. This offloe is important in that the obairman is supposed to represent the regular organization in matters pertaining to patronage and to appoint the delegates who call to order tho party conventions. Mr. John A.

Niohols, president of the last committee, was an unoompromising stalwart, and wae strenuously opposed by the half breed element under the leadership of Mr. Daggott. Mr. Nlehols Is ufferlng severely from ill health, and has repeatedly declined the overtures of hie supporters for re eleotion. A proposition wae subsequently mado that all the delegate to tbe oommlttee barmonlze upon Mr.

A. J. Perry, of the Sixth Ward, for president but to this the opponents of toe stalwart element deolinod to aosodo. It seemed likely to day that Mr, Nichols' supporters would make him a candidate af tor all and endeavor to Beouro his eleotion. mb.

dagoett's plans. Mr. Albert Daggett and his followers have definitely decided to support for the chairmanship Mr. Edwin Packard, a young millionaire, residing on the Heights. Mr.

Packard la a pleasant and intelligent gontleman, of Independent views, and represents what Is ordinarily termed the "silk etooklng" wing of the Ioeal Republicans. He voted for Mr. Niohols for president lest year, but has since been inclined toward the half breed faotion. He Is not, however, regarded aa an extreme faotlonlet, end Is woll liked personally by a great many members of the General Committee. Mr.

Albert Daggett was asked by an Eagle reporter to day what bo and his friends intended doing in regard to the General Committee organization. He said "We consider that all the Issues of last year in the General Committee aro aead. Tbe divisions there were kept up more on national lesues than on any loeal issues. We sustained tho action of the President In the appointment ot Robertson against the advice or from Maw Vova, umre.i0 him in ha the head of the Republican party and having the right to appoint whom he pleased, whether in atoord with tbe senatorial oourtesy meaning the consent of the senators from this State or not. That question has been settled.

We intend taking tht same position now to ward the President and oan tee no roason why we should not support the Administration as heartily sines the thange In lte head as we did before. We are IN TAVOR OF HARMONY. We are in favor of a fair administration of tho office of chairman of the General Committee, Wo are un willing to keep up the factional fight of the past, and in that view of the oase will present Mr, Paekard's name, knowing that be has no faotlonal tendency either way, We believe that he will be a satisfactory chairman to tho Republloan party. It is useless to mako it appear that we are trying to organize the General Committee lo. hostility to the Administration.

We not engaged In any suoh business. Instead being now as heretofore a question entering Into national polities, it seems to be a purely loeal matter. We have made no canvass, held no caucus, and have no 'elate' for officers of the General Committee. We have no disposition to favor tble man or propose that man because he has either acted with us or against us in the past. We ean see no reason why every so called stalwart and every so called half breed Bhould not Join hands and make war on the common enemy, the Democratic party, rather than oontlnue an interneolne fight of our own." THS STALWART VIEW.

The stalwart members of the committee eay they will support Mr. Niohols for president beoause he ia an active and unoompromising Republican, and a gentleman ot soolal standing and ability to fill the office. They maintain that common oourtesy requires that he shoulel be retained at the head of the committee for another year. Ex Aid. Roberts, one of the delegates to the oom mlttee from the Twentieth Ward, in sdeaklng of the natter to day, aald; "Mr.

Nichols does not desire the position, both be cause of the feeble condition of his heslth and the political excitement It eutalle. His friends, however, believe that, in justice to thorn, and especially In view of the disgraceful opposition to his eleotion last year, he should stand for re eleotion. He Bhould be a candidate if there were no other object In view than the decenoy, good order and well Being of the Republican party. Undor clroumstanoea of a peculiarly unfortunate and exasperating oharaoter, he has made an exoellent chairman. Where complaints were made there is no doubt that ha was justified by the unprecedented action of hla adversaries.

Those who opposed his election, Instead of acquiescing as gentlemen should, kept up a fight against him from the beginning to the end. Then It no man In Hinge County a more thorough, tried and true Republican than John A. Niohols. Ordinary oourtesy, if nothing else, requires that he should be re eleoted. Mr.

Daggett is, of oourse, opposed to him on factional grounds but that surprises no one who knows the faets in the case. He has told our friends fairly that owing to his Illness he could not serve if elected, but I believe we should eleot him, nevertheless." THB OUTLOOK. The Daggett men olalmed to day that they had enough votes to elect Mr. Packard, chairman of the General Committee. The stalwarts insisted that they had enough votes to sleet Mr.

Niohole it a contest occurred and no compromise was resolved upon. The Packard man olalmed the delegations from the First, Second, part of the Third and Fourth, Sixth, part of the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Twelfth, Fifteenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth, Nineteenth, pert of tht Twenty first, Twenty second, part of the Twenty third, Twen ty fourth and Twenty fifth Wards, and tht towns of Flatbusb, Flatlanda, Gravestnd and New Utrecht. Tha stalwarts olalmed for Mr Niohols one vote in the First Ward five In the Third two in the Fourth three In the Fifth one In the Sixth four in the Seventh one in the Eighth Ave in the Tenth six in the Eleventh seven in the Thir teenth; one in the Fifteenth eight in the Sixteenth; One In the Eighteenth eight in the Twentieth; three in the Twenty first; two in the Twtnty seoond; three in the Twenty third; one in the Twenty fifth, and three la New Lots. In their estimate the Seventeenth Ward ia classed as doubtful. Both elements are of the opinion that if the contest is contlnaed up to the committee meeting tbe vote will be very elose.

There is still somo talk of a compromise In organising the committee. DEATH OF AN AOTOB. Samuel W. Piercer Succumbs to Smalt pox. New York, Jannary 9.

Samuel W. Pleroy, the well known aetor, died from smallpox in Boston this morning. He was taken with the disease while supporting Edwin Booth. It wtt at first supposed that Mr. Piereey was affltctod with malaria, but it subsequently proved to be smallpox, end be waa placed in the hospital, Mr.

Booth provid ins for Ms svery comfort. Mr Piereey was a native of San Francisco, where he hsuan life as a law student Hit first effort In decla mation was the reading of the Declaration of Inde nendanee at a celebration of Fourth or July, a penorm ance In every respect creditable. He then abandoned the law and adopted the stage for his profession. Hie beat Impersonations were Shakspearean, and he played with suoh celebrities as Booth, MeOullongh, Barrett and Barry Sullivan. He first introdueed in London Bartley OampbeU'a "The Virginians," in whloh he waa supooited by Mrs.

D. P. Bowers and other weu xnown American artiste. Lam year he produced in Hew York an original play the "Legion of Honor," written by a San FranclBcan. While the drama was being represented in Brooklyn his wife died in Philadelphia, and the troupe wae disbanded.

He then accompanied tbe remalss of Mro. Piereey to Ban Francisoo, where they were interred. The deceased lady was a MIbs Julia Dunpby. the aangbter of James Duuphy, one ot the millionaires of Calllornia. One child, a daughter, survives.

the thud with whloh the roof and the immense topper pans or sugar vats, 'weighing from fifteen to forty tons oach, atruok the cellar floor resembled an earthquake. The body of smoke and flame which Issued from tho rains was blinding and soorohing. When the smoke had cleared away the flame brightened ho sky so that the vessels on the East River and baywofe plainly dii CefElMe aa far as eye could reach. Fifteen minutes after the fall of the roof, the front wall in the oenter and the iron bridge crossing First street tumbled in with a rumbling, deafening noise. But the bridge wae not unfastened from tbe fire proof building by the sudden wrench, and one end of it sow remains In tbe oenter of the street Burning coals were thrown in all directions from the building eo that it teemed at this orltical moment when they flew around thlok and fast that the adjoining buildings could not be saved.

Theodore A. Havemeyer had not been in his house in New York many minutes when notified of the fire. He immediately hurried over to hie estab lishment fearful that his other buildings would oatoh, and passed from one point to another with the firemen, giving them Information in connection with the build ings so as to save them from the devouring element if possible. He was particular to warn them about the tunnels, and effective measures were taken to prevent fire communloating through them to the other buildings. THB FD3B PROOF BUILDING ABLAZB.

Before tho caving in of the roof and fall of the bridge and front wall, the windows of the fireproof building on First strest caught fire. The sashes were the only woodwork in the whole strueture. The sight of the sashes of more than one hundred of the two hundred or moro windows in the front of the building ablaze was a strange one. But constant streams of water were poured on them and the fire was extinguished without any damage to the building. At about six o'clook the roof, or small wooden structure on it, caught fire.

To determine how to reach and fight the fire there was but the work of a moment, although during that moment Mr. Havemeyer was racked with anxiety about the fata of tha great structure. The men of engine oompanlesl2 and 5, at a beok from their ohief, alambered up the fire escape on South Third street hose in Imme diately after men of 15 and 18 ascended through tho roof in the interior of the building and poured a steady stream of water on the flames. The fire burned fiercely, but was soon extinguished. The damage to the building was alight, but tho lose to stock by water will amount to over $20,000.

Haa the building not usea fire proof, the ohsnoes are tbat it would have shared the same fate as the other one. It Is snrrounded by private dwellings and on an opposite corner Is a piano factory. The walls of tbe doomed refinery toppled over sec tion after seotlon, while the fierce flames continued to ehootup from the Interior until 11 o'clook, when they were nearly all subdued and nothing romained of the magnificent building and oostly maohlnery but smouldering ruins. Nearly all tho engines remained, however, an hour later. At midnight the fire was burning, but it was under complete control.

Sevoral oompanles wero still at the scene this mornldg. The services rendored by the firemen in averting a general conflagration wero acknowledged by Mr. Havo meyer, who spoko of their exertions and pluek In words of commendation. The fire boats and the two tugs did effective service on the water front and saved tha sixteen hundred hogsheads of raw sugar. A clroumatanco worthy of note is that only a single aocldent occurred.

Fireman William Heg, of No. 7 engine, wae carrying hose over a pile of rubbish on tho street, when a brick fell and severely injured his foot. He was removed toSt.Catha rine's Hospital in tha am bulance. The origin of tbe fire is a mystery. The watchmen, engineers and superintendents could give no theory as to how It started.

As already mentioned, thero had been no fire in the building, whloh was illuminated by electrlo lights. It was rumored that the wiio leading to the store room was overheated and in somo way ignited the plaoe. When Mr. Havemeyer was questioned about the matter by the writer he said that such could not be the case as the electrlo lights would not have been lighted until after o'elook. He said he eould advance no theory as to the origin of the fire.

While the fire was raging at its highest, rumor had it that two workmen, who bad been in the building when the fire broke out. were missing. One of the engineers, it was stated, was unable to go down stairs on account of the flame and smoke, and eo made his escape through the iron bridge on aoutn iniru street, wnuo two men who were on the floor above were unable to esoape. But it was ascertained, ou careful Inquiry, that there was no truth in the rumor. THB LOSS $1,500,000.

Mr. Havemevar stated to the writer that he estimated his loss at 81.600.000. nearly altogether through the de struction of machinery and the bulldinff. The loss of etook was comparatively Binall, aa the refined sugars were kept in the storehouse already desorlbed. Two thlrde of the loss waa probably ou maohinery.

He fur ther atatod that he waa inaurea tor a urge amount, uuc how large he oould not say. lie Knew tnat ne wae not ullv covered by insurance, aituuugu uh uiu uut expuoi lose very i I uot more tnuu i ui tnin thousand dollars, he hoped. The insurance, waa distributed in small risks among nearly all the solid companies of this country and many in Europe, whloh have agencies hero. He further stated that there were about one thousand men employed in the burned building, moat of whom, he regretted very muoh, would be thrown out of employment for while. Ho proposed to erect a new fireproof building on tbe ruins or the old one immediately.

He woum Degin worn in a ay or two, if tho insurance companiea wero ready. He will run bis two sugar houses at the foot of North Third and South Ninth streets night and day in tho future, so that a number of the men thrown out of work will bo employed thero. He remarked during the conversation that it was the first fire which had occurred in hla premises alnoe bo embarked in business twenty flve years ago. STEPHEN BALLARD'S LOBS. Mr.

8toohen Ballard had been engaged for several daye past hoisting large copper pans to the roof of tho refinery and removing othors. HIb apparatus waa on the roof and was destroyed. His loss was sbout $1,000. Tho fire proved au annoyance and something more to five different street car companies. Tho Groenpolnt and Fulton Ferry, South Fourth street, Grand street, North Second street, and Franklin avenue lino of cars ubs the FlrBt etreet track.

The companies contrived two Beparate routes on First street, ending at South Second and oeginning again at duuiu nuu P.nanr were conseauentlr oomnelled to make a de tour up to Second etreet In order to avoid the aordons of police. It will take the greater part of to day to elear the traok. One fact very muoh commented on, while tho rumor of there being two men missing waa afloat, was the laok of faollltlos lor escape in me eveni oi fire. There were only a few fire escapes, a few atair ways and not very many open doore In the building. Thorn not a fire escaoe In front of tho eleven story fireproof building, and the only one observed waa flam that ou tne aoutn xniru Btreet ooruor, wmvu up men need.

PI0KPO0KBT8 AT THB FIBS. An wu to be oiDeoted at such a Brest gathering of sightseers, there wore plekpockets around. Detective Short, of the Fifth Preoinct, and several other detec ttvee, kept a sharp look out for tbe light fingered gentry. Only one man reported to the police as having been robbed. Jose Orevlni stated at the Fifth Preotnat station that he was relieved of his gold watch valued at $S0.

At tbe Ruins To day. When tho fire had been completely subdued, at two o'clook this morning, nearly ell the engines withdrew. The few which stayed retired an hour or two later, but a number of firemen remained in charge of a halt doxen or more hose pipes directing steady streams of water on the smouldoring ruins. Several of the firemen and workmen employed by Have meyor were engaged in toppling over tne irag ments OI tne waas, xne nose dangerous pu. uuu whieh remained standing was at tne northeast corner of First and Sonth Third etreete.

It waa about fifty feet in height They succeeded in pulling It down with ropes at 11 o'olook. Only a small portion of the front wail now remains ataauing, buu sauie ip uu. u. southerly wait The work of tearing down tht northerly wall is progressing as rapidly at possible. Two portions of the tear wall near the center and at the northerly end, tower' majestically over the ruins, and the work of raring them will prove difficult and dangerous.

THB FIRM'S BOOKS. It was ascertained to day that the moro important books of the firm were saved from the flames through tha oxnFtiona ef iiooxseeoer uenaernaieL xne em ployos also suoceeded in removing a large quantity of ronnea sugar xrum uiu uurneu uuuuuig uv.usv flames had spread all over it. The barrels were placed on cars and pushed along the tramway to the connecting warehouse on Sonth Fourth street. The fnll ex tent 01 tne danger to wuiou uia uceuiuu Biiuau solves was not generally understood even by themselves until to day. AU the walls ot the burned building fell ontward and several portions of them came within ft foot or two of the Are laddies.

While Borne of them were engaged In an effort to topple over the southerly wall It fell all of a sudden and came within two feet of burying three or four men under it There were sev eral saca instances oi almost nair umutu eeia.yoB. The great danger was in attempting to sway the walla with ladders. Bopos were subsequently used. Among the spectators at the fire was Chief Bates, of the New York Fire Department The eleven story Are proof bnlldlng was at noon conneoted by telephone with the New York offices. It ap pears that Mr.

Elder Is no longer a member of the firm, which consists of Theodore Frederick and Henry O. Havemeyer ana cnaries u. rjentr. Later from New York. It is impossible at this date to asoertain all the different companies which have insured Haver meyer Elder.

The aggregate number of companies whloh have risks In this oompany is over three hundred, there being bnt three oompanles In tha city whloh have not Insured some part of the property. The aggregate loss Is supposed to be about 1,00,000. In the refinery alone tho building It valued at $200,000, and is Insured for $18, 800 the maohinery is valued at and It Insured for while It IB not possible to get at the value ot the ttook, which la insured for $329,900, thus making the whole lnsursnce on the refinery about $783,000. A great number of foreign Insurance companies are also Interested, all on an average ot $10,000, with the exoeptlon of the London and Liverpool and Globe, whloh has a risk of $20,000, and the Imperial, whloh has an lnsuran oe of $15,000. The Board of Underwriters held a meeting at noon to day, at whloh the subjeot of the fire waa considered snd a list of the different oompanles interested and their risks wae presented to the board, but their names would not be divulged.

ADDRESS BY REV. DB. HALL, The Rev.

Dr. Charles H. Hall delivered the address and dwelt In eloquent tonus upon tho necessary unity between religion and medlolne. He said the medioluo man and the minister, with a httlo difference In some respects, hava met on a common point Thoy both minister to Bunerlug and distressed humanity. In natural lollglon tho physielan Is the first to come to a man whu that power which we oall imagination le affected.

This was' true, whether of the red men of America or the Ignorant tribes of Africa. The speakor traced the beginning ot the hospital, which originated with tho spread of leprosy, and Bald up to tho time or Christ such a thing was au Impossibility. The word hospital in Its primary sense had a peculiar meaning. In the old claBslc9 it nicaut simply a placo an Inn wbero a man rested for the night, paid for the same and passed on. In the Usstern languages it Blgnlned a caravansary, and lu an early period It was used in a deeper senBo as a resting placo for tho weary, for the sick and for the aged.

It was on a little island that tho first hospital was established, amoug a community of lopors, where they had begun to colleot, so tbat thoy iniRht mako their lives more tolorablo and prepare thomsolves better for tho other world. The speaker alluded to thia as the ba3la whloh eventually stimulated tho active Gauls to found the grandest hospital the Hotel Mon Dleu whloh now ooouptos seven acros or ground, and where thousands of patients are oared ror. Ho spoke of the hospital established In Loudon between the years 1546 and 11553, where woman might find refugo in her hours of sickness, and contratod the motbodB in tho present age of oaring for tho 111 and distressed as compared with thoso in tho time of tho prosperous Groeks and exclusive Jews, In concluding ho drew a ploture or the period when the Invalid was left to tho tonder moroles of creaturesl lko Salrey Gamp, instead of the mluistering care of trainod and skillful nursos. Ho portrayed tbe ab eolute necessity of recognizing a spiritual power In tho hospital, and said that there God should be, regulating tho hand of the nurse. The coldneBS of the skeptical phyeloian who woe the true mad man, who only believed in the simple science of what his oyos saw and his hands could feel who brought with him the faot that all Is death and rottenness, was adverted to as the opposite of tho Christian physician.

Tho man who dismlssod all thoughts of the little child of whom the patient was thinking and who had gone to the other world, who hollered that human naturo was so much alkali and so much aoia, came in the hospital aa a true monster of deformity. He was not the man to bring to the side of tho dolioate woman or of him who was enduring the pangH of body and mind. Dr. Hall denounced the undovouthospltal as well, and his remarks woro listened to with great Interest. The exerolses wero brought to a close by singing.

THB NBW WINO. The now hospital wing wae begun in May or tho present year, and stands at tho rear ot tne main building or the institution, it uauu some, turoe story onoa buuuiuib, three wards, capable of accommodating twenty beds each. Some idea of ite excellent ventilation and light may be inferred, when It le stated that there are over 102 windows in the building. It cost $30,000, and wae opened free and clear of any Incumbrance. The wards and beo are patterns ot noatuesB, and are calculated to aid In every way the recovery of the patients.

The architect waa M. J. Morrill tne mason, v. ana ha Wriflh Rrnnit. The entire Institution, which oan acoommodato 120 patients, le under the exoellent care of the lady aupenntendent.

DROWNED IN A WELL. A Traffic Occurrence In ParKviUe. In the roar of Charles Kehmens' hotiss at ParhvUle, L.

there is a well, the depth of whloh is nearly 70 feet A few days sgo a buokot Wat dropped in the well, and muoh speculation wae Indulged in as to the best method to reoover It Finally, George Herbert, aged 85 years, proposed that he ehould go; down and thus solve tho difficulty. Mr. Reunions and others pointed out the danger attending such a Job, and tried to dissuade him from undertaking It. Ho said that he had considerable experience la descending wells, and that with a strong rope and ladder he would not rnn the slightest risk. He sot about preparing tho means to go down, and on Saturday afternoon tlod a tulilar to a lone rono.

and bolng firmly seourod, no was allowed to descend gradually. Before, however, he had reached half way to tho water, the rope snapped, and the unfortunate man was preolptated to the bottom of the well.

Mr.

Sooville Resumes his Argument, The Prisoner's Appearance this A Piteous Appeal Sideways to tho Jury, Followed by the Usual Outburst or Savage Insolfliico Toward a Bailiff. Washington, January 9. There was no apparent diminution of publio interest when the oourt openod Its ninth woek of the Guiteau trial this morning. As usual, tho crowd ailod every nook and corner or tho ohllly room, and the ladles wero decidedly in the majority. Tho prlsonor arrived at tho court house about half past 9 and was taken to his watlng room.

He appeared rather nervous, and ula countenance Indicated anxiety. When he had taken his seat in the dock he glanced around stealthily over the audience, and immediately began a harangue evidently Intended for the jury. I have received," he sold, some eight hundred letters, a groat majority of them from ladles. When I get time I shall attend to them. I want to send my greetings to the ladies of America and thank them for their eympathy.

Thoy don't want me to be hanged. Publio opinion le fast ohsnglng. I received Saturday a oheck for $1,000 from the stalwarts of Brooklyn, and anothor for $500 from the stalwarts of Now York, I want this jury to understand how public opinion Is oa thleoaso." A bailiff here tried to silence blm whon lie turned upon him In the most vtolous manner and snarled ont: "You keBp qutot and mind your buslnoes. Don't interfere with me when I am talking. If you had any sense you would understand your place." With this opening breeze the proceedings in due form were begun and Mr.

Sooville roomed bis argument. He began at tho point where ho left off on Saturday as to the point of Insanity boing the ability to distinguish batwoen right and wrong. He bellovod it was not possible to produce a late ease In England or America involving the point of irrosistibia Impulse In which the courts had Buatsiued, purely and without qualifications, the positions of the English judges laid down in tho House of Lords on tho McNaughtou case. Referring to tho ohargeof Judgo Noah Davis in the Colemau caso, he said that while tho opinions of Judges are ontitled to weight in matters properly before them, they wore mero obiter dicta, aud wero entitled to no tnoro authority lhan the opinions of any other Iswyor, and that was applicable to this optnlou of Judee Davis. Referring again to the reoenl English case of the Queen against Davis, ho said that undor tho principal of tho MoNaughton case, Davis would have boen hold to the rnlo of the knowledge botwoon right and wrong, and to the knowledge of tho criminality of the aot and tho penalty for it and yet the oourt In that case laid down tho rule in his charge to the jury, that if tho prisonor knew that the act he was committing was wrong, he must be responsible, oven though he wero mad but that If his madness prevented that knowl edgo be must be excused.

Mr. Sooville prooeeded without interruption for an hour, and his remarks were listened to with marked attention. He laid stress upon the proposition that Insane mon often know the difference between right ahd wrong, and for that reason eonceal their plans that the benefit of the doubt should attach to the plea of insanity whon raissd with the same force as whon urged In conneotion with the commission of the crime. His allusion to the decision of Judge Davis, "who went out of hiB way," he said, ''to pass upon something not involved ia tho ease ho was thon considering," brought ox. Judge Porter to his feet with au indignant reply that the charge wab false.

Mr. Scoville retorted that the opinion of a man who Bat on the samo bench with a Barnard and a Cardoso should uot bo received with much consideration. Ex Judge Porter, with even moro vohemonoe reiterated that the charge of oounsel was absolutely falBo; that Judgo Davis navor sat on the bench with oither of the Rontloniou named. "If the honorable member of tho Federal jndloiary Is to be put upon trial hero, I demand," said bx JiicIkj Porter, "that the reoord bo produced here upon wbloh this base ohargo is made." Mr. Kcoville luslsted that when tbe stylo of proceedings best suited to a polioe court were introduced here by the prosecution, he should comment upon them as be deemed fitting.

He should not be frightened by the tragic utterances of ex Judge Porter. He had heard the same notes years ago from THH OWLS AT KIOHr, in the woods of Ohio. Guiteau laughed and called out sneeringly "that's a very fine speeob, Mr. Porter." Mr, Davldge protested that not five minutes had boen devoted to the proper eoope of the argument and the court warned oounsel hal they must abstain frooa personalities. Mr.

8covlll8 says that the drafte for sums amounting In wav 1 non rncelrod bv Guiteau oo Saturday were worthless and sent by some praotlcal joker. It is not the first time during the trial that such a thing haa occur red. Mr. aeovillo uimsoir uas uau wonniens cuecae sout to him, one for $15,000. FOB SAVING LIFE.

January 7, 1882. A. oase of much interest oame up before Justice Weatbrook In Special Term of the Supreme Court at Kingston to day, In whloh the Empire Mutual Life and the Continental Llfo Insurance compan ies and Albert Woodruff, of Brooklyn, were ooneorned. It appears by the papers In the oaso that Mr. Woodruff held a llfo policy for $5,000 in the Empire Mutual Llfo Insurance Company, the total premiums on whloh were divided Into seven annual payments three of which had boen paid, entitling the holder to a paid up policy of three sevenths of the sum Insured, The Empire afterward transferred (ts business, assets and obligations to the Continental.

It then beoame an object to the latter oompany to take up the Empire nolldea, and substitute its own in their plaoe, and thus obtain the funds lodged it Albany In the In enranco Department by the Empire for the sooarlty of ite polloy holders. An agent of the Continental aollcited Mr. Woodruff to make the desired exohango, telling him ho would get a better policy even in the Continental than he already had In tbe Empire. Mr. Woodruff, with that under.

etandlug, allowed the exchange; but, initead of getting a better polloy, he obtained simply the ordinary life polloy, with about ono year and two months only paid on it. He did not dlsoorer the difference until a year afterward, and then demanded back hli old policy in the Smplre or one like it In tbe Continental, or paid up policy for the 3 7 of Hie demand was re fused. Tho Continental afterward failed, and went Into the handa of a re oo Ivor. Two years ago Mr. Woodruff, learning that there were funds ot the Empire ettll left at Albany for the ee eurlty of Its policy holders, by advice of bis oounsel made a claim on the funds by virtue of his old policy, on the ground that that policy wat obtained from him by misrepresentation and still belonged to him, and he was eoneequently entitled to eharo in the distribution of those fnnds.

Jnstios Westbrook granted an order about that time appointing a referee to inquire into the facts and report upon them, and whether Mr. Woodruff was so entitled. The matter was hotly oontostad on the trial. The referee reported against Mr. Woodruff.

His counsel excepted to the report, and moved on the testimony, 4e for an order to pay the value of the polloy, as re. ported by the referee, some $2,000. Justice Westbrook, after argument, lent back the report for further find ings, and to day the matter came up again on both reports and wsb reargued. Hla honor allowed Br, Woodruff's exeeptions to the reports of the referee, and deolded that Mr, Woodruff had never legally parted with hla polloy, beoine of tbe Continental's misrepre sentations, and that he was entitled to snare in tna funds at Albany to the extent of the value of bit polloy in the Empire. The counsel were For Mr.

Woodruff, 8. M. Par ens; for receiver, Wlngato Ouilen; ether counsel opposing, Raphael I. Moses. B.
