AN EAGLE ANNIVERSARY. HCSICAL AND DRAMATIC. BROOKLYN ATIiENEUJS. iOCWKXEDfflQS THE SCANDAL. LAW MAKING.

THE COURTS. SANITARY. THE KING SUITS. The newly awfiiened interest iu the Ring suits continues unabated. Tho dcvclopm3nta are made slowly, and no now proceedings are reported to day by tho lawyers engaged in the preparation of papers against persona to bo tried under tho new law.

Mr. FranciB C. Barlow, who is retained to prosecute several of the porsong from whom an effort will be mado to secure restitution of property or money, Bays that he ia engaged in the preparation of tho necessary forms of procedure, and cannot yet divulge the names, although the esses have most of them been to death" in tho courts already, and the facts are all familiar to tho public. He waa himself in indifferent health, but was exceedingly busy with those matters. At tho Sheriff's office Deputy Qnincy said that at present there are no more writs of attachment in the hands of that officer ogainot persons implicated ia th Ring frauds.

Brooklyn Theatre. There was a large Audience assembled at tho Brooklyn Theatre bat ovoning to hear Ambroise Thomas' opera "Mignon." Miss Kellogg In the title rote won more than oven her usual meed of applause, and tho delight evinced by tho audience throughout waa an evidence that there is mora in the mualo of Ambroise Thomas than oritioiBm has been inclined to accord it. Thia evening tho ever popular "Trovatora" will be aung, with MadomoVan Zandt as Leonora, Mr. Maaa as Manrico, Miss Beaumont aa Azucena and Bir. Carls ton as tho Count di Luna.

I Po morrow afternoon, Miss Kellogg will sing tho rolt of Lady Henrietta, in Flotew's "Martha." Thia will bo the first time that Miss Kellogg alngs thia role in Engliah, at all events, in Brooklyn. To hear her aiug the Last Boso of Summer," and to hear Castle ing the 'Appari, is alono worth doublo the cost and trouble of an afternoon attendance. To morrow evening, Mrs. Used, of this city, under the Btage name of Mllo. Radonti, will make her debut in Brooklyn as an operatic soprano, singing the role of Jfantana in Wallace's lovely work of that name.

Sho will bo well supported by a soleot cast from tho company of Miss Kellogg; The cast will comprise Mdllo.nadentl, aa MorlUna. MIsi Boaumont, as Lazarillo. Mr. Raynor. as Captain of Guard.

Mr. Howard, as The Marquis. Mr. Carlotcn, as Don JTose. aimiuwu, as xho Kinir The Mnrohioness! Mr.

Castle, uesar. The Two orphans. The sale of advanced seats for the first presentation in Brooklyn of Dnnery's magnificent ploy of the "Two Orphans" is progressing very fast. The play is not only a successful play, It is a good, a groat play. In several rospeots the beat play that France has sent ua in several years.

It is tho more acceptablo, too, that It is wholly free from that morbid display of illicit passions which reached ita aomo in "Led Astray." It is a clean play, a deeply interesting pby, and a moving Pby, appealing to man's instinctive pity for Buffering, and hia aflmiration of true nobilltv. Thn believing it cannot fall of success, ore spending much uiuu una money on it in tne belief that they will be repaid by its run. Parle Theatre. The success of tha Park Thenl. rnnll makes extended notice of its attractiona unnecessary.

ua won oaianceu programmo of the present week moots with the Bame exuberant favor that waited on its predecessors; and Manager Sinn is jubilant. Tho full programme will bo given at the family matinee to morrow afternoon. Academy of music. Max Maretzok, the true father of opera in America will produce Flotow's new opera "L'Ombra" at the Brooklyn Academy of Muslo uoxt Monday evening, introducing two new American aspirants for lyrlo honors Miss Hoffman, of Chicago, and Mis3 Randall. The first is a Boprano, tho latter a contralto.

Tho tenor will bo Benfratelli, the baritone Tagliapiotra. Thia will ba the first production of "L'Ombra." in Brooklyn. Handel and Haydn Society Concert. The most attractive and successful concert yet given by the Handel and Haydn 8oclety of this city waa that which took plaoe last night at the Acadomyof Muslo whioh, despite tho performances of the Kellogg opera troupe as a rival attraction, was crowded with a fashionable audience, who were exceedingly gratified with tho excellent vocal performances of the occasion. With much judgment a programme had been prepared which was woll calculated to ploase a general assemblage, combining, as it did, a selection of vocal gems from tho works of Handel, Haydn and Mozart, and tha musical legend of the 'Walpurgis Night," by Mendelssohn.

Unlike New England, our people havo yet, as a general thing, to acquire a tasto for oratorical performances. Thia will come as surely as that for classical music has through tho Instrumentality of our Philharmonic Socioty. It will bo the province of tho Handel and Haydn Society to take up this task of teaching our people to appreciate tho excellence of the oratorio school of musical art, and no hotter plan of operations could be bid out than juBt such a class of concerts as tho attractive entertainment given last night. LacE 0f space obliges a brief reference to the performances, and in doing this, merited praise is to be awarded to the talented and enthuslastio conductor, vr. uamroacn, wnose duties in training up a choral society, suoh as thoHandel and Haydn, aro of tho most onerous character.

Of course there is work yet to be done before tho Society can approach the New England model, but good progress ia being made, Indeed it may be said rapid progress, under the circumstances. Tho vocal solos of the concert wero admirably rendered, especially the gems from the Messiah," He was de Bplsed," so finely sung by Miss Drasdil, and I know that my Redeemer liveth," whioh Miss Thursby ren dered with much expression and effect. The solos, too, by Mr. Stoddard and Mr. Bischoff, received merited applause.

In fact in every rospect was the oonoert a creditable BUccess. Notes. Kistori will play Lnicrezia Borgia at tho Brooklyn Academy of Music, on Friday cvonlng, April 16. The tragedy of Hugo will bo followed by a scone from Shakspeare's "Macbeth," in which Ristori will speak in English. Clara Morris will pby at Booth's Theatre in Now York next May, opening in "Evadno." It is said this season's starring will not to Miss Morris no leBS than Bovonty fivo thousand dollars.

That Is pretty good for a young artist who five years ago waa crowding Daly's thfcatre in Ann Sylvester for crty dollars a week. Aimee has made a hit as the Jolie Parfumeuse, at the Lyceum Theatre. The aecond act 1b udmirablein music and In construction. Frank Mayo's "David Crockett" ia stiU tho attraction at tho New York Pork. There, will be a row about the play "Rose Michel." Several managers have copies of it, and Daly claims that he bought the right to it from the French author.

As the French author has no rights here under the bw aa it stands, wo are at some loss to boo how he could confer upon Daly that which he himself cannot om. Boueicault tried that game with FeuiUet's sensation, "Led Astray," and it cost Mrs. Conway no little money to find out that every matt has as much right to translate a French play aa Boueicault has. Sho knows it now, and Mr. Daly will find it out.

FINE ARTS. The Late John Force's Gallery of Pointings. Much to the regrat of every lover of art in Brooklyn, the announcement ia made that the famous gallery of modern oil paintings founded by the late John O. Force ia to be sold by auction at the Somerville Art Gallery early in May. Mr.

Force was an enthuslas tio art collector for over thirty years, and during that period his gallery became known and cele brated all over the country. He possessed a cul tivated taito, and hia selection of subjects for his gallery, rarely went astray. Like a great' many other people he was fond of horses and dogs, and some of the noblest works produced by eminent English and American artists in this specialty were early secured for his collection; and such Works when once obtained, wero seldom parted with. Mr. Force was always happy to exhibit his art treasures to strangers as well as friends, and in years gone by his gallery was visited by people from all parts of the country, and now that It is to be broken up, under the hammer of tho auctioneer, doubtless there are thousands who will bo eager to procuroiouvoniers from a collection which gavo thorn so much pleasure.

Mr, Force waa always a willing oontrtbu. tor to the art exhibitions, both at home and in New York and at the Sanitary fairs held during tho war the art displays would have been poor enough had it not beon for bis patriotio interest in them. Two of the pictures in his collection were published in photographio form several years ago in tho Apple tons' "Lights and Shadows of the New York Picture Galleries." These works are "Tho Reaper's Rest" and "The Fisherman's Family," by W. Thayer, and together thoy form as noblo a monument of art aa was ever created by an English artist. The editor of the above named volume, in speaking of Thayer's worka says "The English artist adheres with fond pertinacity to subjects drawn from rural life.

His wandering down to the sea Bhore is but a variation from the rule the characteristics are the same, the accessories only being changed. In two points Mr. Thayer's rustic figures differ from not a few of their rivals on canvai. One is thia: drawn from living likenesses among ita lowly and the laboring classes, they can never be mis taken for ladles and gentlemen masquerading. Their other distinction and a very grateful one it is consists horein hTey never convey that sense of degradation and misery which some artists, and very many writers, invariably associate with the simple annals of the poor." The collection Is also rich in the possession of equally fino specimens of the work of other eminent painters.

There ie "The Hound's Dream," by Thomas EarL of London; landscapes, by Georgo Morland; "Departure of Victoria and Albert, from Antwerp," a celebrated worK by Sohaeffels; "Winter in New Hampshire," by tho late L. R. Mignot; several dog pictures, by George Armfield, and unquestionably the best examples by that artist, in America; horses, by Herring, "Tho Trooper," by Scheores; "A Market Scono," by Signoux; "Dogs," by Do Voa;" "Chickens," by Van Leemputten, and De Beul; and pictures by Johannes A. Oertel, J. B.

Whittaker, Danby, and J. G. Brown, tho bte Mr. Cannineke, A. F.

Tait, jand many others. It is not the intention of the family to offer any of the paintingB at private sale, but all are to be closed out at auction, and in anticipation of that event bids will be received. The collection contains altogether about two hundred and fifty works and aomo of the best will remain on exhibition at the bte Mr. Force's house, in Pierrepout street, until the last of the present month. LOOKING FOR THOMPSON.

Two men at a late hour on Saturday night oalled at the residence of Mrs. Lear, in First street, near North Sixth, and inquired foreperson by tho name of Thompson. When informed that no one of that name lived in the houso they grossly insulted Mrs.Loar, whejie outcry for assistance was heard by her sons, William and Thomas, and promptly responded to. The two gave chase to the strangers, one of whom turned and flung a stone, striking down Thomas, who oried out as he fell, "I'm shot." Wm. Lear took it for granted his brother had beon shot, and deBisted from pursuing the strange men in consequence.

Thompson's friends made their escape in tho darkness. Mr. Lear waa subsequently oonvoyed to tho hospital, where bis wound, an ugly, though not dangerous one, waa dressed by the surgeon. FUNERAL OF ft. Y.

W. THORNB. The funeral of the late R. V. W.

Thome, who died on Monday, took place yesterday afternoon from St. James Episcopal Church. The pastor of the church, assisted by Bev. Mr. Seymour, conducted the services, the latter delivering tho address.

The remains were interred in Greenwood. The funeral waa largely attended by tho prominent mon of Brooklyn. NOT A MISER. There was published in the Eaoke a few flays ago, an account of the Insane freaks of John ApeL a wealthy baker of Hioks street. In connection with it, it was stated that Mr.

Apel waa penurious and denied his family the necessaries. This the family deny, and eay that he always baa provided tor thorn with Grace Greenwood aud Sarah Fisher Antes in Readings nod Oostaino Personations. A rather limited audience was in attendance Wednesday night at the Atheneum to hear and to see Grace Greenwood and Sarah riaher Ames. Grace Greenwood waa formerly an attractive reader, and Sarah Fbher Ames is a fine aotreii. It it difftoult to conceive, therefore, why the house was not better filled.

It possible that something was wrong with tha management. Tho two ladies are in the employ of the National Lecture Bureau, and it probable that that agenoy failed to let it be sufficiently known that bo distinguished an entertainment was about to be given to Brooklyn pooplo as that of Wednesday. Had it beon otherwise, they would have been most likely to divide audiences with tho Kellogg opera company, at Mrs. Conways, or tho spelling match presided over by Mayor Hunter, at the Academy of Muslo. Those who were present at tho Atheneum, howovor, wore woll paid for their attendance by an exceedingly attractive entertainment, and sufficiently testified their appreciation by froquont applause.

Tho programme consisted of readings and recitations' in costume personations of oharactcr by each lady alternately. In Part 1, Graco Greenwood read "A Spanish Ballad," by Bon Gantlin, and "Lovo in a Bindery," by Arkwright, while Mrs. Amos recited "High Tide on thp Coast of Lincolnshire," by Jean Ingelow, and "Wounded to Death," by Watson. In Part Mrs. Amos gave tho letter and elcopwalklng scenes from "Macbeth," and two scones from "School for Scandal," wbilo Oraoo Greenwood rendered "Ovor tho Hill to tho Poorhouse," by Carleton "Deacon Monroo'a 8tory," by Miss Emerson and "Miea Tabltha Tattle," an original composition.

The scenes from "Maobeth" by Mrs. Ames wore given with tragic effect, aud tho personation of Lady Teazle in "School for Boandal" was exquisitely done Graco Greenwood moved the audlenee to copious tears at the woca of tho old woman turned out of house and home by hor ungratoful ohildren and on her way to the poorhouso. What though the old woman waa a little high tempered and officious at times, sho waa generally good naturod and useful. TUCKER. A.

"Wife Abandoned for a Servant Maid. Tho Adventures of an English Gentleman Now Resident in Brooklyn. As exclusively reported in the Eaolb of Wednosday, Isabella Tucker has begun an action for abeoluto divorco against hor husband, William Tucker. Sho alleges that he deserted her and her children in England years ago, and olopod to this country with JesBie Strickland, his servant maid. Mrs.

Tucker oamo after her truant husband last year, and found him living at 32 Prospect street, Brooklyn, and carrying on business oa a wiuo merchant and ship ohandler on Furman Btreot and in NeSv York. On Tuesday laat, Tucker waa arrosted on a writ of ne exaa when in the not of starting for Europe, and yesterday eoveral creditors attaohod his property. This morning a motion earuo up bofore Judge McCuo for alimony aud counsel foe in the divorco suit. Mr. Tucker was in Court, accompanied by hia son, a handsome lad of about fourtoan.

The motion waa adjourned. Mr. Tucker's answer in the divorce suit sots up that tho plaintiff was his deceased wifo'a BiBter, ond that consequently, according to tho law of England, the marriage botwoen them was null and void. He also alleges that she has condoned his offensQ since hor arrival in this country. Ho furthermore avers thot tho plaintiff is addiotod to drink, and absents herself from homo, and that she usos iinpropor language before the children It appears that recently Mrs.

Tucker quitted her husband's house, taking a ohild of hiB by bis formor wife along with her. Last night Mr. Tuckor wont with a coach to get tho child away. Mrs. Tucker screamed for aid, and the parties wero taken to tho Second Preoinct Police Station.

Tho Captain directed the woman to deliver up tho child, and Tucker departed with it. As to tho allegation that Mrs. Tuckor is Tucker's first wile's sister, it is asserted that Tuokor was never married to tho woman who passed as his flrat wife. Altogether It is a vory pretty muddle, and nuts for the lawyers. For tho plaintiff, Wernberg Ic Reilly for the defendant, James W.

Itidgway. SPRING FASHION ITEMS. Valenciennes lace is brought out in new designs this Boason. The patterns most scon are forget me nots, convolvuli and quaintly wrought edges, Instead of the sacqu.es worn last year with cashmere ovordresacs, many of tho skirts aro accompanied by a mantlo or eape that may be worn with any dress. Tho Grand Duchoss Maria, of Russia, has paid five for some hangings of point d'Alonoon lace, 'jinally mado for Mario Antoinette, but which the Revolution prevontcd that unfortunate queon purchasing.

Napoleon bought the laco as a present for Maria Louise, and Blnce then it had varied fortunes; but has novcr yet decorated any apartment. The 'Queen, at her recent drawing room, woro a black silk dress, with a train trimmed with orepe and jet, and a long whito tullo veil, surmounted by a coronet of diamonds and pearls, whllo around tho neck were four rows of large pearls, with a magnificent poarl and diamond clasp. Hor Majesty wore all the various stars and rlbbona indicative of the different orders to which she bolongs. For ladies who like novelties there are aomo handsome handkerchiefs with colored borders, which ara shown In every variety of pattern and size. For children's pique suits, the jaokot and Scotch kilt Bkirt are most worn.

This fashion of skirts la handsomer without than with trimmings. Gambrio and cashmoro are among the daintiest combinations of fabrics worn for littlo girls' costumes and for ladles' morning sacquee. As both fabrics wash equally well and without injury, the appropriateness ef the arrangement is in no wise questionable, Gray linen dusters made very long, with loose double breasted fronts seoured by a belt, while the English is loose and of the old gabrlello shape, aro belBg mado up. Either a eape or hood is added. The pretty rouleau collar of linen is a new exaggeration of tho popular English collar with its points rolled over.

Hats are worn further over the face this season than last, and being wide rimmed quite shade tho face of the wearer. Polka dots in cambrics and fine calicos are in great favor this month, Tho choice designs exhibited in the trimming of Bido bands glvo ovidenco of masterly training, and tho artistic engraving and color combinations present a novelty and stylo which are now becoming characteristic of printed cotton productions. The prettiest overskirte for wash dresses of linen, gingham, muslin or batiste have all their fullness hold by shirring on tho Bides, and this shirring la ar rangod in drawing oases that oan ba loosonod and easily laundered. Knife plaiting is very tastefully used to trim basques. It is made as fine as crimping, and is then placed in rows across tho front.

Four or five rows of plaiting trim tho wrist of each sleeve. Pique aprons for ladies, with plaited cambric ruffs and wrist ruffles to oorrospond, aro embroidered in colored scoUops and large polka spots for the breakfast hour, with muslin caps to match. A coguet tuth pocket is upon one side of the apron, and colorod cords, for housekeeping keys and Bcbaors are suspend. ep from the other. Garden hats of pique will have a large, round erown, scolloped and buttonholed in color, and joined to the rim with colored buttons.

The edge of the rim will be eimilarly buttonholed and polka dotted. Ladies who wiBh to modernize plain basques, or cbango cuirasses into tho new fashion, can now do bo by adding to the lower part of the two middle forms a straight piece of silk, laid in from twenty to twenty five fino plaits. Broast pockets aro again in vogue, and there are also reticule pockets made to bulge out oa if the oval pouch was noarly filled, Morning dresses and robes for Spring woar are now tho principal articles being made up by the mantua makers. They aro shapely, stylish and easily fashioned garments. Scotch gingham is a popular material for these garments and the decorations consist of bias bands of the same.

The fronts aro generally madB loose, wbilo the French back is slightly ad justed by a centre seam that terminatea at the waist line in a double box plait undornoath, resulting from tho presence of oxtra widths at that point. Large pockets, cuffs and a rolling collar ornament it. Two bias bands ornament each side of the front. Tho buttons aro covered with tho same material. Tho large Jndia ribbons used on hate and bonnets and the unusual quantity of fiowors that doco rate them, lessen their apparent size, but thoy are, in reality, larger than last season.

Busset loaves, dusty leavod geraniums and wild vines of all kinds are unod for ornamentation. It is no longer the fashion to block up tho windows with short muslin curtains hanging closely before thom they are replaced with blinds on spring rollers, tho materials being eilhor red, whito or bluo silk, terminating with Bcolloped borders, trimmed with fringes, mado In imitation of those worn by marquises in the reign of Louis XV. The newest French oambrics are exceedingly pretty. They have a laceliko deaign of whito upon a color blue, brown, gray or black. This laca dguro represents goneraUy the star and compass patterns, liko those found in Madeira and English embroidery.

Sometimes the design is In stripes, sometimes it covers thoenttro ground, and In many oases it forms bands near the selvedge, which hands will be used for trimming tabllcr, sash and cuirass. What are callod Madras colors appear to bo very popular in all the new French muslins and cottons linens, gronadinos and twilled silks. Theae are selected for their qnaintneas, and many of thonew linens ropresont the colors shown in bright Madras handkerchiefs in many instancoB thoir uglinose la represented oa thoir chief beauty. Point dtichesse lacs is fashionably used again, and ia brought out in combinations with round point. The meshea are those of point lace, while tho fiowers are duohesae or else point medallions aro in arabesques of duchesse.

These ara three or four lnohes wide, and are intended as garniture far light silks. It is a pretty, feathery looking lace, and will be muoh worn during tho Summer. AN OWNER WANTED. Mrs. Thompson, a resident at No.

302 North Seventh street, yesterday delivered to Captain Woglom one dozen jewelers' blow pipes that were found by her in tho cellar of her dwelling. Tho property is believed to havo been atolen and concealed whete discovered with a view to future realization. Tho Editor Made the ucst of the Reporters for a IVleht. The reporters of the Bbooklth Eagle, past and present, tendered a complimentary dinner to Mr. Kinsella, editor of that journal, at Dieter's, in Montague street, last night, the occasion being the twenty third anniversary of hia joining the paper.

Mr. Wm. H. Muldoon occupied tho chair, and Mr. James A.

Terry the vice chair. There were also present, of Eaqls attaches, Messrs. Kenward Pnllp, Theo. Tusch, F. M.

Mooers, Andrew McLean, William Hester, Horace Jordan, Harry Austin, Thos. Beales, Peter F. Selaney, T. J. BlackweU, Ghas.

DeWitt, Mr. H. H. Wheeler, Mr. Thos.

Wilson, Mr. Dominlqk Bochc, Mr. Martin Breen, Mr. Albert Daggett and a number of other personal friends of the guest of the evening. Tho long tablo in tho dining hall of Dieter's was magnificently decorated with out flowers, a pyramid of massed flowers of the ohoicest kind, threo feet hltrh.

fronting tho rare baskets boing disposed of at intervals. A parlor organ waa also placed in the room, which greatly assisted tho company in their musical aeloctions during tho evening. THB MENU was as follows: Oysters, on the half shell. Wino Sauterue. julienne Soup.

Wino Sherry. Baked Shad, with Tomato Sauce. Potatoes Croquette. Sweetbreads, breaded, with French Peaa. Wine Champagne.

Boast Sirloin, a la Jariimert. Chicken Salad. Lobster Salad. Toast Alemenda, Brandy Sauce. English Snipe on Toast.

Napolltalne Ioa Cream. Ioea. Fruit, with Flowers. Cheese. Coffee.

Cigars. Wine Champagne. Tha dinnor having been discussed, tho Chairman gave the usual loyal and patriotio toasts that to the Army and Navy being responded to by Major C. O.Wheeler and then called upon Mr. Kenward propose tho toast of the evening, the health of Kinsella.

In doing so Mr. Philp said that he happened to be the old eBt editorial associate of Mr. Kinsella then present, al though one of the youngest men at the table. This, he presumed, was tho reason why he had been called upon to propose the toast of Mr. Ki nsella'a health, which he then did, after tracing the main pointB of Mr.

KinBolla's career and eulogizing his character as an editor, an associate and friend. Turning to tho guest of tha evening, Mr. Philp said that tho newspaper boya were unwilling that Mr. Kinsella, in whom they recognized the foroo and genius of a true editor, Bhould leave tha table without carrying with him a substantial mark of the esteem in which they held his qualities as a man qualities which had not only attracted their intellect, but endeared him to their hearts. Amid great applause a handsome 9o(i tefre diamond ring was then handed to Mr.

Kinsella. That gentleman, in replying, spoko of hia surprise at the presentation, and, indeed, at the dinner, there being no fresh occasion of his life to commemorate. But he oould not be insensible to the affectionate regard of which not only tha occasion but the reticence of those who created it, gave evidenoo. Mr. Kinsella continued in an eloquent address to speak of his many years of labor on the Eaoli, of the associates he had learned to call friends throughout thorn, and of the important value of the reporter as a part of our modern civilization.

He ooncluded by toasting the reporters of the press," to whioh he askod the Chairman to respond. Mr. Muldoon replied very happily, creating much merriment by his vindication of the modern reporter. Mr. Terry, the Vice Chairman, thon proposed tha "Invited Guests," to which Mr.

Sheriff Daggett responded. Mr. Isaao Van Andon, the founder of tho Eaole, being unavoidably absent, sent a letter expressing regret at his Inability to be present, and Mr. Hester, the publisher, responded to tho toast "The founder of the Eaqle," as follows: The Eaqlb, which was started over thirty years ago, to supply a want that existed at that time, has so fully kept pace with the needs of this city that while the population increased from thirty thousand to five hundred thousand, it has grown with it as though It was a part and parcel or a department of It. Our guest of the evening and myself have dined together or at the same board beforijUnder different circumBtanocs, years ago the fifth of a century.

Tho bill of fare did not inoluda "beef a la jardiniere" and "snipe on toast," but when our last "take" waa up for the day's paper, and our proofs oorreoted, wa sat down on the foot rail of our case stands, whioh were Bido by side, spread out our humble meal on a newspaper, on our lops, anjd ate our bread and meat with an appetite that wag waited on by good digestion. My ref erenoe to those times, I think, is not out of place here, and I am confident it ia not objectionable to our guest, who, I doubt not, has sat down of late years to the most pretentious spreads, where the Juclest Yjands and the rarest wines were served, with nothing like the keen appetite and relish with which he attacked and demolished the every day dinners of twenty years ago. I am sure he never rose from the table so much refreshed as, whon brushing away the crumlft, he turned to his afternoon tako, or "outside" as we called it, and making use of a favorite expression, "We return to the contest with renewed vigor," continued tho work till six o'clock. Tho Eaqle owes everything to the City of Brooklyn, and I believe the City of Brooklyn owes muoh to tho Eaglk; their interests aro identical, and, on the part of the Eagle I give you, gentlemen, the toaat of "The City of Brooklyn," coupling with it the name of one of its most efficient ofacers, William O. DoWitt.

Mr. DoWitt, iu responding to tho toast, spoke eloquently and tenderly of hiB long association with the guest of the evening, as did also Judgo Walsh, who ro plied to the toast of "Tha Bench," given by Mr. Charles Hannam. Mr. H.

H. Wheeler then toasted The Press," coupling with it the name of Mr. Andrew McLean, managing editor of the Eaole, who suitably replied. The other regular toasts were Downstairs," proposed neatly by Mr. Thos.

Beales and responded to by Mr. F. M. Mooers, who took occasion to speak in terms of high regard of the guest of the evening. Bohemians," given by Mr.

Delaney and responded to by Mr. McDermott, and The Ladles," given in the most eloquent speech or the evening, by Mr. Naughton and responded to with equal grace by Mr. Horace Jourdan, popularly reputed to bo tho handsomest twim on the press. The dinner was a rare one and tho oocasion a complete success, and throughout tho evening songs and musical selections were interspersed with tho toasts.

Tho case for the plaintiff was then closed, and THE DEFENDANT TOOK THE STAND. JIc testified as follows; My name is William Youngs; I reside at No.

186 Central avenue: I first went to Mr. Woodward's house on the evening of March 10 he had been in the habit of visiting my house and I went to his for a purpose. Court I object to this. Witness Then I might as woll get off the stand. Judge Sender Proceed, and confine yourself to tho occurrences on the date mentioned.

Witness I went to Mr. Woodward with my wife; previous to that I visited him alone and told him that I understood that he was frequenting a place which it wasn't proper for him to go into; I told him that tho fcouue mentioned had a bad character. Counsel I ask the Court to instruct the witness to forbear mentioning any names or places in this connection. He mustn't repeat hie slanders here. Judge Semler His own good common sense should restrain him from doing so, else ho be open to an action for libel.

Witness, restiinfiic I told him I knew it was a hous.3 of bad character and I had evidence to prove it, and that the parties living there had done everything they could to break up my family. He said, Well, it is too bad;" I said, "What is too bad?" and he answerad what I had told him about the house, as he was going to live there and would not bo influenced by what I had saj.l; on the occasion that I had visited him with my wife, it was at her request she wanted to agk him what he had said that had caused her to be so abruptly dismissed from the church choir my wife began to talk to him, and turning to me he said, "I will not talk with you I said, "I will talk to you, and tou miiet hfcar me my wife then told her story; as to tilerc having been any bad language used, I positively deny it when we got through I simply said, "Come, Lib, let's go, we caii't get any satisfaction out of him he csine to the front door and closed it after us. THE CEOSS EXAMINATION. Q. Have you etated all that said on these occasions A.

What did you mean by rrettiLg oathrfaction A. Mr. Woodward waa the pastor oi the church, and he was the cnuse of my wife getting put out. y. Did he refuse to give you any satisfaction A.

I Wt nt to vindicate her. Q. Do you believe calling him a would vindicate her A. I deny having used any of those words except "liar." Witness was then shown a paragraph from an East era District paper in which it was Btated that he bad dled the minister hard names, and asfied if he identified it. Be answered that he did not use Mr.

Woodward's name to the reporter. Q. Did you to Mr. Weaver 7 A. I simply said that ho was a liar, and I have documents to prove it.

Witness tbtn wanted to go into the choir troubles, but the Judgo ruled it out, and he stopped down. MRS. ELIZABETH YOUNGS was then called, and although the Justice did not consider it necessary to have her sworn, he allowed her to make a statement, which did not go in as evidence. fche stated that the trustees of tho church advised her to see Mr. Woodward about her expulsion.

She accompanied her husband to his house, and said to him, "Mr. Woodward, I have oaltod to rcc you on private business." He asked them into the back room; he said. ''Sister Youngs, I will see you in the bnck I ain then. "Did you tell Mr. the organist, jat I was going about making scandalous stories;" he Baid, "I did do so;" I then said, "Mr.

Woods ward, I have not been the person who talked about other people's characters he said, "Sister Youur, you know you rslusd to pay anj thing toward my salary; and tnat is tho reason I saw the organist my husband make no use of bad language; he said, "JJb. come, there is no good of fitting here; he says he did it, and will give no satisfaction." The witness was not interrogated on the part of the plaintiff. TOUNCS' CHARACTER, I ouis Weber, proprietor of tho Myrtle avenue Park, wur then called and testified to the good character of the defc ndunt, who is in his employ. Then Mr. Youngs flflied the Court to him to call witnesses to prove that Mr.

Woodward wao a liar, and the Judge told him he atiilci call them to impeach the testimony of the plaintiff. Ife then called a Mr. Btcftins. but that person although in Court declined to testify. "He's got tho documents in his pocket," said Youngs, "but he won't go on the stand." The defendant then Bummed up for himself and Bald the charges were made out of pure maliciousness, and il the case went against him he would have it sifted, and he had tho documents on which to do it.

Ho would have Woodward "histed" out of hia church. All he wanted was justice. Counselor Rogers summed up for the plaintiff, and Itriefly renewed the testimony. If his client, he Baid, was not a minister of the gospel and pledgod not to shed human blood, there might have been no need of the servide of tho law in thin case. His ministerial cloth prevent him from puniRhing the offenBe with hiB own hand.

Ho believed that it waa the duty of the court to suppress the scandal then and there, and not allow it to be spread further by releasing the defendant frcm a just punishment. He spoke of the prevalence of fcandoL and said that the malarious vapor ariiing from tin Court House waB poisoing the land. Mr. Woodward That's so. Mr.

Rogers asked that Mr. Youngs bo not sent to Jail, but bo bound over to keep the peace. YOUNGS FOUND GUILTY. "Mr. Tames, step up here," said his Honor.

"This it: a case which 1 am sorry to say, has been made too much of. I mUrbt havo held you without any examination, to keep the peace, but you professed to have wit npftse to proc your assertions, which seems to have not been the cate. I gave you an opportunity to clear yoimtdf, but you have not done so. There is nothing for me but r. find you guilty and bind you over to teep the peac in tho euin of $100." There was then t.

slight applause, when it had sub eided, Mr. Weed ward arose and addressing tho Judge' aid, I hope our Honor will allow mo to Hay for my gclf, that as a t'iiristijiii man, hold malice toward none, I imply did this thing to protect my wife and jiinily and Mm. Youngs who had began to cry, then walked up tottiGliiinlbttraCut15''; God forgive you, I pray for you daily." Her husband aluo began to act strangely, and wa told by the Judge that ho had better not get xeited. The parties then left tbe Court room, Mr. Younga having furaiphed bonds.

WOODWAED REINSTATED. The Society of tho Evergreen avenue Church met hut evening, and reinstated the Rev. Mr. Woodward as pastor. An Adjournment of the Case Till Monday.

Mr. Bosch, Senior Counsel for the Plaintiff, Unwell Courteous Words by Counsel oh Both Sides. Judge rieilson was on the bench promptly at 11 o'clock, ready to resnmo the trial. Hia Honor, however, got an unexpected holiday. The sickness of Mr.

Beach, senior counsel for the plaintiff, necessitated an adjournment until Monday. The following were tho romarks made on tho subject Judge Nellson Will tho counsel proceed? Mr. Pullerton If your Honor please, we feel very much ombarrassed on our side in consoquence of the absence of Mr. Beach, occasioned as I suppose, by his illness. Ho was exceedingly unwell all day yesterday, so much so that he could not participate In the incidental discussions of the day, in consequence of a very severe and painful attack of neuralgic headache.

He did not join with mo this morning, as ho was accustomed to, and I presume he is confined to his house. Ho may be in, howover, in a short period. If your Honor will allow us to consult for a moment what courso wo will take. Messrs. Fullerton and Morri consulted for a few moments.

Mr. Fullerton then said: If your Honor please, the importance of this caso and the great responsibility resting upon the counsel on the part of the plaintiff seem to make it proper that we ahonld ask that thia cause lie over until Monday morning, unless Mr. Beach comes within a short period. We are without tho aid of our other associate, General Pryor, and, bo far as Judge Morris and myself are concerned, we feel unwilling to take the responsibility of conducting this case unaided by either of our other associates. As a matter of coarse, the evidence of tho witness on tho stand is of very great importanoo to this case, and the events to which ereafter his attention ia to be called, will havo a very great influence on tho case, and we desire the presence of Mr.

Beach before wo proceed. Tour Honor probably Ib awaro that he is to present this case to the jury, and he woidd be taken at great disadvantage if ho were not present to hear tho testimony given by the witness, and derive all the advantages which flow from a presence in court when the evidence is given. He may be here yet in a short period I don't know I have had no message from him this morning, and if he isn't here very soon, we shall have to ask tho indulgence of the Court till Monday morning. Mr. Morris I feel quite sure, if tho Court please, that Mr.

Beaoh is detained at his house by sickness. Every day since the trial has commenced ho has been very prompt indeed, ahead of time. I know that yesterday he Buffered very severely, and that he waa unable during recess to partake of any food, and was in distress ail day. I hardly think there ia any probability of bis arriving. tesral Amenities.

Mr. Evarts Now, if your Honor please, the suggestions of our learned friends are quite suitable to their Sosition, as on any similar occasion it might bo made ourselves. Mr, Beach, unfortunately, from a draft, took cold day beroro yesterday, I should think per. haps oven earlier than that and intimated to me that ho felt fears of some serious consequonccs of kind attending such on exposure, to theso neuralgio pains to which he is subject, though otherwise a very strong man, as we all know. Now, it is proper I should Bay the expectation was that we should be able to conclude the evidence of this witness to day.

Wo may have been disappointed, but we did not expect to be. And it ie also proper I Bliould intimate that there may arise some question of Borne pressure in regard to the admission of evidence, and in that view the day would, perhaps, be one when the attendance of their asBOoiates might be more than ordinarily important. If the evidence was closed, then it would be incapable of roconslderatlon. When your Honor sent down to me the telegram of the affilotive intelligence of the death of Mrs. Neilson, tho widow of our late friend, the eminent judgo, I didnt knowbnt your Honor intended, perhaps, to intimate some desire or fooling in regard to holding court to day on that Sound, but havo heard nothing from your Honor on 0 subject.

Judge Neilson I have a strong Impression that Mr. Beach will not be here, from what I told him yesterday. Mr. Porter I presume ho would have been here today had it been even possible, for I never knew him on any occasion to fail to be at his post, unless it was an occasion of sudden and dire necessity. udgo Noilson The question Is quite reasonable, and the kind manner in which it is received by the other Bido is very gratifying, and I think that boing the view of counsel we wili now adjourn.

Gentlemen, get ready to retire. We adjourn until Monday morning at eleven o'clock. The Court then adjourned. Interview With Mr. Boecher A Water Tight Compartment.

A reporter of the Eagle approached Mr. Beecher just as the adjournment was ordered by the Court. Mr. Boecher sat with a smile on his countenance swinging around in the witness chair, and a knot of newspaper men and other friends gathered about him. Reporter Mr.

Beeohor, it looks to me as though thera was a Providence in this. Mr. Beecher There is a Proyidenca in everything, ray boy. Reporter I thought this morning that this being Friday, if you should pass an exciting day on the atand for you, it would perhaps interfere with your prayer meeting this ovening. Mr.

Bcecher rOh, no, sir, that would not make tho least difference in the world. I nm like one of those steamers built In water tight compartments. If one of them gets smashed and fills up tho rest are all right. It doea not make a bit of difference on that account. I think now I will tako a ramblo among the book shops.

This trial has boon liko hash to mo. Tou know hash is very good occasionally, but whon you have had it for flriy or sixty days right along it becomes a little tiresome. Mr. Fullortoa's Health. After conversing with Mr.

Beecher the reporter had a talk with Judge Fnllerton, who came up just as Mr. Beechor was getting off hia "wator tight compartments" and seemed imincnBely pleased at the joviality and high spirits of tho great defendant. He laughed heartily. Reporter Well, Judge, we aro all pleased to see you looking so woll, although your partner is ill, you havo not had so very easy a time of it yourself, Judgo Fullorton No, indeed I And I am by no means aa well as I seem to be. If I could only get over this rush of blood to tho head I would be all right.

Last night, feeling oppression in tho head, I got up and went to the washbasin and leaned over to put Borne water on my head, when, all at once, the blood flowed from my nostrila in a smaU torrent. For a few moments it was quito alarming, but when the flow ceased I olt much relieved. I am very much troubled with this rush of blood to the head. Reporter Well, Judge, you must take care of yonr eelf It will never do to let this trial kill such eminent men as yourself and Mr. Bosch, As for the Eaglb boys we aro all vory well pleased to have tho trial stop to day.

Wo gave a little banquot to our chief, Mr, Kinsella, last night, and in consequence don't feel pretty well for work this morning. Judgo Fullorton Oh, yes! I heard all about that, you Just say to Mr. Kinsella that I know all about it, and that that is the reason why I moved an adjournment to day. I ought to have Btated the fact when I addressed the Court. And tho genial counsel with a smllo gathered hia papers under his arm and departed.

filton. The reporter also had a little chat with the plaintiff. Ho was apparently in good spirits, and declined to accept the adjournment as anything particularly advantageous to his health or his cause. He could stand anything, he Bald, and was ready to go ahead, although as his senior counsel was ill, ho thought Judge Fullerton wise to move an adjournment. THE 'LONGSHOREMEN.

The Strike Still Continuing; The New men Giving Satisfaction Old Hands Disconsolate A Smooth Tongued Knave Anticipated Defeat of the Society men. The longshoremen's strike continued to day in full blast, though very quietly. The Union men presented themselves as usual this morning at the docks along Furman street and offered to work at the rates lately fixed by them, namely forty son to per hoar, day and night. In all probability this offer would have been accepted by the stevedores at the outset of the strike, that is, at the first of the present week, had It then been distinctly offered, for this waa not far above the old rates, but it was not so understood. In the meanwhile, new men presented in answer to advertisement and went to work at the old rates of thirty cents per hour by day and sixty cents by night.

Of course there are not so many hours of night work as day, 10 that the new rates are A TBEFLE ADVANOZd in the aggregate, over the old ones. This would not have deterred the stevedores from employing the union men, had it been fully and distinctly understood as above mentioned; for they would havo much preferred skilled workmen to green hands. But a few days' experience changed the aspect of things. It seemB that tim men who presented themselves to fill the places of the society men were very nearly of the same class who had taken thoir places in the strike of last Fall. In that strike theso men had, during an experience of several weeks, almost learned the business, and now they very agreeably disappointed their bosses They were tried and not found wanting.

Instead of turning them away, therefore, and complying with the demande of the union men, they were retained and aro Btill at work, giving very good satisfaction. The old hands are all disconsolate, wandering up and down the approaches to the dook, listlessly Bighing for something to do, or energetically denouncing the new comers as interlopers. It is said that a part of their DENUNCIATION is directed against a smooth tongued knave pretending to be of their own society, belonging to one of tho lodges in Now York or Jersey City, and who has led them into their present predicament. In their wrath they have denied him as belonging to their order, and accused him of being an agent or emissary of the interlopers, whoBe object it was, they say, to bring about the present strike, that they, the new men, might be benefited thereby. The situation at present would seem to indicate tho triumph of tho bosses, and total defeat of the society men.

It is mora than probable that the latter wili ba obliged again, as last Fall, to resume work at the old rates. It is believod that a large majority of them are already in favor of doing bo, and ending the strike with the present week, MEWHUSIO.

MUNICIPAL. Tho Dntles of Garbage Contractors. Required to Call at Every House. Mr. Felix Hickey, recently contractor for removing garbage from the Twelfth Ward, conBidcred that he performed his duty by Bitting composedly on his cart, while he drove through tho streets at easy gato and rung his bell to warn the inhabitants of his approach.

Those housewives who made haste to the door to infotm him that there was garbage on their premises woro noticed by Mr. Hickey, and their wants attended to, but otherwise he pursued his way without descending from his perch. Now, this mode of removing the garbage was not satisfactory to the people, and complaint was lodged with tho proper authorities against the gentleman. When told that the spechlcations of his contract required him to call at each houao in the ward, ho rebelled against such a rigid construction and having persistently refused tooboy the authorities, hia contract waa finally annuled. He lmttantor began suit against the city, but this morning, on motion of Assistant Corporation Counsel Enaebel, was non suited the Judge claiming that by his contract it was Incumbent on him to oall at every house and inquire if there were garbage to be removed, TOWN ASSESSMENTS.

The Assessment Committee of the Board of Aldermen held a meeting last evening, and confirmed assessments amounting to $462,209.87 for sewers constructed in the Twenty first and Seventh Wards. After a hearing had been given to property owners, who desired that thoy should be allowed to pay the sum in five annual instalments, the request was denied, because the outstanding money waa needed for building sewers in other parte of the city. OEBENWOOD OEMETEBT. Tho Committee on Grading and Paving alio gave a hearing to the Attorney of the Greenwood Cemetery Company, Mr. John A.

Perry, relative to the act, advocated by Aid. McDatyre, which would authorize tho city authorities to assess the cemetery for local improvements. It was stated, he said, that the corporation was wealthy, but not a dollar went into the pockets of its mombcrs. It was spent in maintaining and improving the grounds. Last year, thoy spent $123,000 in this way.

Tho Company was not disposed to pay assessments for improvements suoh as Prospect Park, while they were willing to bear their share of the cost of such as were in their immediate neighborhood. LOCAL ASSESSMENTS. Controller Powell this morning signed warrants for the collection of $602,206.14 paid out by the city for local improvements, suoh as nagging sidewalks, and grading and paving streets. This is about tholargost amount passed over at any one time to the Department of Collection since Controller Powell has been in his present office. It ia very necessary that thia money should be collected at the earliest date, aa upon its collections are dependent many other improvements whioh can not be inaugurated at presohtin oonaequence of the limit uxad to tha Issue of bonds being reached.

The collection of bo large an amount, together with other assessments recently put in train for collection will suffice to redeem out standing bondB to an extent which will enable the Aldermen to make other improvements.

A communication was received from tho Hoard of Pi lico and Eiclso, expressing thoir willingness lo provido four extra olflcors for sanitary purpoHoH. Com. Jourdan objected to paying tho A Mine Company for printing tho weekly mortality reporl, because it is done in Now York. Ho Haid that the city money hbould be expeutied a3 far aa possible in Brooklyn, and tho printing could bo done hero quito as cheap aa iu New York. He believed tho supplies should como from HiooUvn.

Com. Hutchison tlion called up from tho table tlio amendments to tho rules and regulations of thu Board which ho offered at the laBt mooting. The first was as follows IlcBolvcd, That Section 6 of the Rules and Regulations of this Board bo atnondud by the addition ol the fi.Uow ing provision (Figure 4), "Conunittoo on Application to consist of two members, ono of whom shall be a sanitary ooixunisaioner. To the Committee on Applications shall be roforred all applications for positions under tho Board, Bald Commitlea shall examine each applicant in regard to tho special duties to bo porformcd, ond roport the result in writing." Resolved, That Section of the Bulcs and Regulations of this Board bo amended by tho following addition "Except the Commvtteo on Application, of which it shall be necessary to have two to constitute a quorum for tho transaction of business." Tho voto boing called tho amendment waa lost, MosBrs. Palmer, Jourdan and Bergen voting in the negative.

The socond, an addition to the rulos and regulations, also offered by Dr. Hutchison, was bb follows Wtiereas, Tho act to cfitabliah a Board of Health in and for tho City of Brooklyn, Chap. 107 of tho Lawa of 1873, at section 6 providea among other things tho following, viz "And said officer (the Bocrotary) as well as the other officers and agents appointed by said Board Bhall bo subject to removal by the Board for cause.to be entered on its mluuteB therofore, Resolved, That the rulos and regulations of this Board be amended by tho addition of the following section, viz "Removal of all officers and agents of tho Board shall be for cause, which causo Bhall bo entered in the minutes of tho Board." Com. Hutchison said ho doslrod to have thli addition passed so that the beet mon could be appointed to any place which might bo vacant, lio thought that it ought to bo paaBod. A Blmilar section waB paened by tho Board of Health in New York, and waB found to be entirely satisfactory and of great service.

A vote was then taken and the addition waa lopt. Mc8srB Hutchison and Conkling alone voting in tho affirmative Com. Bergon moved to amend the bylaws by making three members constitute a quorum. An the law now reads two oonslltute a quorum, but Mr. Bergen said that that law was parsed when the Board conButtcd only of threo members, therefore, two waa a majority now that the law had been amended bo as to mako the Board conBlst of flvo porsone, Com.

Bergen thought that tho majority should constitute a quorum, and mado a motion to that effect. Com. Hutchison objected. He thought such a bylaw would conflict with the law aa far as ho was concerned, howover, ho certainly would not liko to pass upon any Important matter or on the appointing or removing of any employe of the Board, unless there wore at Ieat three mornbors present. Com.

Bergon said he would not press the matter, ao It was laid over. Tbo Board then adjourned. LONG ISLAND. As the five P. M.

Dod immediately signaled for "brakes," and commencod blowing ing the locomotive whistlo furiously, and she was for a moment apparently frightened from her intention, and stepped off tbo track. Tho next moment, howover, she turned to go on it again, and the locomotive wheola brushed her clothing as the train came to a Btop. Sho proved to be a French gjrl about IS. years old, who has recently lost her mother a olroumstanoe that appears to nave unsettled her reason.

But for the engineer'a promptness sho would doubtless have beon killed.

Griffon of Brooklyn, sent an order to Carrlngton Casey to purchase a schoonor of whoat at Toledo, Ohio, and to draw on them for the amount.

Carrlngton Casey bought the wheat and draw $11,000, and tho draft with tho shipping documents woro handed to the First National Bank of Toledo, which advanced the money. Tho bank sent tha whoat to Kidd, Piorco ft their agents in Now York, who wore to get tho draft paid and hand over the wheat. Instead of thiB, Griffen Company took possession of the cargo without the draft, put it into Shaw Company's warehouse, and then borrowed money on the warehouse receipt from tho Now York Guardian and Indemnity Co. On learning this tho Bank of Toledo replevlhod. the wheat, and began an action against Sbaw and the Guardbn and Indemnity Co.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Sagle: As your report of that part of the proceedings before Preabyterywhlch relates to the affairs'of the Tompkins avenue Presbyterian Church Is likely to create a wrong impression, will you kindly permit a correction? It 1b not our desiro''(that Presbytery Bhould assume the payment of our Interest," PreBbytery could not vory weD do this.

The object sought in our communication waa to obtain a recognition ot our condition and obtain if possible, the good offices of pastors among their own nockB, thereby raising up for us able friends who would be wilbng to assist us in the payment of the six months interest now duo to the Giobo Insurance Company. We have a portion of tho sum required already subscribed among ourselves. We have good grounds for bolievicg that with tho payment of lis Interest our most serious difficulty will be removed, as' the moral effect upon our own peorilo will stlmutate to'increasod effort so that tho affairs of the church will bo placed on a Bound basis. Tho ohurch wishes to pay its debts and means to do it, anxious' that the stain of bankruptcy Bhould never rest upon its name or blot its history. To this end the new Board of Trustors are bonding all their energies.

Wo believe that a view 01 the fast increasing population coming into the neign borhood the torm "debt ridden" will ase to bo a term of reproach aa applied to, us, and the church will aaBume lta true place among tho churohes of Brooklyn.

The jail waa Bealed to reporters, who were not allowed to enter, or to extract information from the attaches of the institution.

It was stated, however, by mon who had last seen tho convicted man, that ho waa utterly broken down by sickness and terror, and looked haggard, pale and exhausted. The toaffold erected in tho yard was all in readiness. And was the same structure on which Joe 'Williams, tho negro, was hanged in July, 1845, Bridget Durgan, the following month, and John Ware, the parricide, at Camden, on December 2, 1871. The gallows is of the older style. The two Catholic Fathers were in attendance upon Sullivan throughout tho night and this morning.

Sullivan having slept but very little, look haggard. Ho ate lightly. The Sisters of Charity were tho flrat to be admitted in the morning, and Sullivan's father, mother and sister, were admitted privately, at 9 o'clock. I There were no hopes that any panlon or repriovc would bo granted, and everything was Baid to bo in complete readiness since yesterday. It waB also stated positively that Sullivan tad made no confession, unless it was to his priest, and that he would make none.

Early this morning, crowds of people gathered about the Jail and Court House, and many climbed to tho roof of a barn overlooking the Jail, and the trees iu tho Court House yard, from which the interior of tho yard could be Been. Large numbers of persons arrived by the traics from the North, few of whom, however, so cured admission; nl.co a few members of tho Third Regiment, N. J. S. N.

who were to act as a guard about the grouuds. Sheriff Tupardus wsb nervous, excited and overrun with duuQUQS for admission, besides being obliged to attend to the final arrangements within tho Jail. At 10:50 A. the condemned man Jeft his cell and entered the yard with Sheriff two priests, the jailor and the hangman, who was from New York, and a moment' prayer was had. At 10:55, the sheriff, jailor and hangman bado Sulbvan farewell.

At the drop fell, and Sullivan sprang into the air. There were only a few convulsive motions, and five minutes after the drop fell tho body was lowered and Drs. Voohees and Tregenhoven found a feeble and spasmodic pulse of sbout fifty nine, and at 11:11 o'clock the pulse had ceased boating. The body hung fifty mimvieH, and at 11:10 was cut down and delivered to undertaker Ityno, of Railway, who represented Sullivan's friends. Tho body was then taken in a LearEC to Rahway, followed through the streets of New Brunswick by an immense crowd of citizens and children.

Mining: Troubles. PoTTSvmiJS, April 0. A rumor, which was in circulation, that tho miners at Shonandoah and vicinity had resolved to leave their organization and resume work, upon investigation proves untrue. Reliable information has been received from Shamoken that at all tho collieries in that region, With the exception of Big Mountain Colliery, aro worked by a very small reduced force of mon. Ail tho men are on strike this morning.

This includes four large collieries owned by tho Mineral and Mining Company employing a largo number of miners. It is believed that the miners' organization has now only succeeded in that region by inducing mento join them in tho fight against the reduction. Xlic IVew Jersey Legislature Tbestoh, N. April 9.
