The Surrogate's Court, in Now York wag brilliantly lit up with gas at half past ton o'olock this morning.

Although the weather was rough, the numerous gentlemen interested in the Vanderbilt will oase and who habitually attend the trial were In court at tbat hour. The counsel fraternized aud aaid pleasant things to eaob other until the entrance oi tho Judge. His Honor last evening was asked by the contestant's counsel to modify hi ordor requiring them to disclose th names snd taaterlality of their expected witnesses as a condition for granting them a further extension of time. The motion waa to allow tha names, to be handed In to the Surrogate, but not disclosed to the other side, lest the witnesses should be tampered with. When his Honor came into oourt Mr.

Lord handed up to him an affidavit disclosing to nmos and materiality of the proposed witnesses. This seemed to Balisfy tha court, and hts Honor ordered the case to go on. Judge Oomstock objected to any private communication with the Court. Mr. Clinton demanded to nave me paper nanuoa down to him.

Mr. Lord We will withdraw it rather than that. The Judge handed back the paper to Mr. Lord, whereupon Judge Comatock entered a solemn protest agsicBt tbe paper being withdrawn from the file of the Court. His Honor then required tha couoael to hand him back tbe paper.

Tbe contestant's counsel were then directed to go on, a the Court was satisfied. Mrs. Marie Antoinette Pollard testified that aha 1 the widow of El. A. Pollard, who wrote books about the war once sho accompanied ber husband to Commodore Vanderbilt' offloe on Fourth street; during tha visit, which siaa on business, ho said to ker husband, 4I don't know; consult tbe spirits; ther know more about it than 1 do;" this was in 1869; In 1870 she called to the Commodore' office on business, aud she also Invited hioa to a reception and promised to have "spirits" thero; he said he bad Juat been to consult with hia medium; she Inquired whether the spirit had advised him to leave her ono million dollars; he said no; then ah said they were wloked "spirits," not as good as she would give him; in lbru sne went to mm on uusmnas; ue nss irritaoie ana said, "Why don't jvu do aa I have always Id youT consult the spirits;" in 1872 she went to him for a subscription for th relief of th people of th overflowed district in Louisiana; he said tu oould do nothing without consulting hla medium, a Doctor something; in 1874 she went to bim for a pass to California; waa very sad; aha said.

"What is the matter, Commodore Ton look sad said, I am gad; I had a visit tb day befor from the ipirlt of my wife, and she told to to lean ail my property to one she asked whioh; said, 'Ton would call him the she said. "Will you leav mi th million he only replied "Would you do If; she said she would leave it equally to all the children; he shook bis head adly and aaid, "I want to do it, but they won't let ma" also tnld ber he never traneactsd any business of Importance without consulting tbe spirits, and thst tbey cost bim a good deal of money. She didn't get the pas, but went by staamer. At this point the Surrogate called out sternly: "This conversation betwean counsel muat Mr. Clinton Not a word was spoken exospt by one counsel, and tbat doesn't constitute conversation.

If not, ask an explanation. The witness went on to say she wss enisged in burlesque speaking in Ssn Francisco in 187S; however sho didn't do much business that year bocauso thero were panics and suspensions; laughter. Q. When did you arrive in California A. How long does It take to go thero by steamer Q.

Entranos Is supposed to.hsv been effected by meant of tail keys How They Are Systematically Lured to Ruin. Tbe Story Xold by Two Girls who were Brought from Boston to New York. Saved from a Life of Shame by tbe In terrention of a Woman. Upon the arrival of the steamer City of New York from Boston, at Pier 0, North Biver, this morning, the mysteiioua movements of the Captain, the agent and a few of the passengers, Indicated thai something of an unusual nature was about to take plaoe. A detective was sent for, but upon his arrival it was found that the birds had flown, and it was then that Mr.

J. B. Cotton, of the Globe Insuranos Company, No. il3 Walnut atreet, Philadelphia, who, with his wife, had been passengers on the steamer, brought forward two nice looking young girls and told tbe Btrango story of their abduction. THB FAt)T8 in the esse as gained from the observations of Mr.

and Mrs. Cotton and frm the lips of the girls thamselvoa are these One of them, Lilly Orabtree, 16 years of age, an intelligent girl, with a decidedly blonde appearance, was two weeks ago a factory girl in ono of the largo factories ot Lowell, Mass. She then made the acquaintance of a nice looking young man, a bar ten dor, who appeared to. tako an intoreit in her and who represented to her that some of his frianda were about to go South and would bo glad to give her a good homo with them. He flually prevailed upon her to be introduced to his friend Mrs.

Livingston, with whom she finally came to Boston and stopped with her st a hotel where tho woman registered herself as Mrs. Livingston and Lilly as her daughter. Then Lilly was introduced to three other friends of her pseudo patroness, and also to a tall man with a Gorman accent, who was to act as their esoort to the South. Meanwhile the other girl, Alice Lough, aged 15 years, a pretty miss of more tbau ordinary brightness, was a waitress at th hotel of Mr. Bridges, No.

31 Elmburgh street, Boston, at which house Mr. and Mrs. Cotton were guests. One day, in a walk, Alico met Lilly, and the latter carefully set forth to her new acquaintance the pleasures in store for In her "sunny Southern borne." Alice was won over immediately, and consented to accompany them to Savannah. She met the whole party for tbe liroi time on the train from Boston to Allyn'e Point, wuore they took the boat.

ON THE BOAT tho two girls were kept separate for a time, but next morning Mr. Cotton discovered talking with three or four women of, to him, suspicious appearance, tho waiter girl who had served bim aud his wife at the hotel In Boston. His suspicions al once aroused, wero communloated to his wife who shared them at onoe and devised means ot gaining an Interview with the young girl. In this, however, ehe waa at first unauooesatal. AU last night she watched the operations of the whole party, and this morning found Alice willing to converse with him.

The young girl frankly told the atory of the trip to the South, and brought Lilly to substantiate the faot tbat they were there to oe supplied with respectable homes. Mr. aud Mrs. Cotton lost no time in showing the girls into what hand they had fallen, and they in turn seemed greatly exercised and expressed A WISH TO ESOAPS TBOM THE TOILS, Tba olroumBtances in the case wore communicated to the Captain, but not, however, until the boat had reached her pier. An officer was sent for, out, meanwhile, the Livingston party having recognised their discovery had made good their escape.

Captain Gaat Iid, of tbe Steamboat Squad, who was on duty at the pier, was made acquainted with the facts in the case, and advised that the girls be given over to the polioe. Mrs. Cotton signified her intention of trying to provide homes tor them in Philadelphia meanwhile, she bade them good by, and thoy were oonducted by Officer beforo Inspector Dilks, at the Central Office. By him they wero committed to tho cire of Matron Wobb untu it shall be decided what will bo the best disposition to make in the oase. No one is allowed to Boe them, and nothing further of their history cart be learned.

It is the opinion of tbe police that this oase is ono of many daily practiced in large manufacturing towns in the East, where a proouress has an established agent who, like this bartender, picks out the brightest and prettiest for bis victims. A description of the abductors has bsen furnlHbcd, and a thorough search will be instituted for them. SUPHIIVISOlt KGOI.P BKSOMI5ATKD.

The damage done by the storm, which raged so furiously early this morning, is reported to be very great. Houses, telegraph poles, telegraph wires, trees and fences have been blown down. Travel has been impeded, and evidenoe of the itorm's in jurlou effeot can be seen la almost every portion of the city. The unfinished three story brick house on President street, near Eighth avenue, was blown down at an early hour this morning, and was totally demolished. The property was valued at $2,500, and was owned by a Mr.

Burkett. A plate glass window in the sewing machine storo of Thomas Cassln, on Fulton street, between Plerrapont and Montague streets, waa blown out Damage tlfj. The damsge done to the police telegraph poles and wlrea has been vary general, and Mr. George H. Flan ly, the Superintendent at Headquarters, has been very busy endeavoring to rearrange them.

Three tolegraph poles on Myrtle avenue, between Canton street and Portland avenue, were uprooted and blown down. They ffll across the railroad tracks, and horseoar travel on Myrtle avenue waa Btopped for a considerable length of time. A large tree on Third avenoe, near Thirty third street was blown down, and, falliaa aoross car tracks, impeded travel until it could be removed. Sixty feet of the fenoe surrounding the lumber yard belonging to Mr. W.

R. Adams, on Soabring street, near Richards, was blown down and totally destroyed. A large tree ou tho oorner of Seoond place and Court atreet, was blown over the track, and delayed horse car travel. A tree on Vanderbilt avenue, between'Myrtle and Park avenues, waa also blown over the track. A telegraph poll on Johnson atreet, botween Gold street and Hudson avenue, was also blown down.

Nearly all the telegraph wires In the oity have been considerably disarranged, and many small shanties out by Crow Hill have been totally destroyed. Tho Storm at the Island JEtiffonian'a Pier Swept Away and Other Dani age. The storm was very violent this morning at Coney Island. The rain descended in torrents, and a furious gals was blowing from the northeast, that sent tho flood tide high up on the baaob, until it nearly reached the foot of the Oulver plaza, in front of Cable's Ooean View HoteL The wind whistled through the open work of tbe Culver Observatory with great veloo Ity, and th tall tower swayed and rooked like a reed In the fury of the blast. At about half past six 0' clock, when the storm was at its height, and the residents or the Island near the beaA had beoome considerably alarmedafor their safety, a torriflo squall struok Enge man's bid pier, extending out in the ocean botween tbe Atlantic Gordon and Faltman'a Ocean Pavilion, and with A TREMENDOUS CRASH.

The entire structure parted asunder and was lifted dear of Its foundations and carried off. Tbe pier for upward of an hour was dashed against tbe shore with great violence, and finally, after being completely demolished, was oarriad up the shore for nearly a mile, and now lays where the receding tide left it, high and dry upon tbe sand above Rareoshail's, a total wreck. The pavilion belongiog to Jaoob Endris, in front of the Atlantic Garden, was also considerably damaged. The building of the Sea Beach Depot was blown out of plumb, being shifted five or six inches from the perpendicular. Tho bathing houses snd restaurants along tho boaoh belonging to Voorhies, Sleight and Yaudeveer were partially submerged in water, but no especial damage wbb done.

The foundations, however, have all been undermined, and should tbe storm come up again to night, it is thought that all the SbantieB lining the beaoh wil be destroyed. This afternoon the tide was quite low, but if the wind doeB not subside, it will probably blow the flood tide to night even higher than it was this morning. Those families living nearest the water are prepared in case ol an omergenoy to move at a moment's notice. In the Eastern District. The effect of the storm of wind aud rain this morninR in the dUtriot wa visible in numerous prostrate trees, a few telegraph pijlea, and here and there a ruined awning.

Along Grand, Bwen and North Seoond streets and Graham avenue this waa especially notloeable. It was fortunate that eo far aa is known no person was Injured in a single instance. Umbrellas were at a disoount by reason ot the foroe of the wind, which blow in gusts In every diraotion apparently. In consequence it waa impossible to judge at what minute even the stoutest rain proteotor might be turned Inside out. The majority, of people on the street were, therefore, to be seen scudding along as it was under bare poles and taking a wetting as good naluredly as possible.

In a few moments he returned, and, plaoing his hand to his ohest, complained of feeling unwell. He was supported to the sofa by bis wife, and almoBt immediately expired. So sudden and oalm was his departure from life that bis wife at first supposed that ho had merely afnted. On the arrival of Dr. Talmage, however, life was found to be extinct.

Tho annual fair for the benefit of tho Baptist Home, on the oorner of Greene and Throop avenues, Is now betog held In the Assembly Booms of the Aoademy of Music It opened yesterday afternoon and will not finallyolose until a lata hour on Saturday evening, and if it does sot prove a peonnlary suoooaa It will not be owing to any want of effort on tbe part of the ladies under whose management It 1 being held. Tbey have certainly done tbeir part In a manner that must elicit the warmest oommendation from all who may visit the fair, Tbe main room, around which the different tabloa are placed, i charmingly decorated, and presents a vary beautiful appearance.

In the centre of tbe room is an octagonal ahaped floral temple, where Mrs. F. A. Whitney and Miss Maggie Buckland, assisted by a bevy of beautiful girls, of bouquets formed ot bright hued flowers, while around them are potted plants, fragrant shrubs and delicate climbing vines. Only a few feet away Is the table furnished by the old ladles of the Home.

Many of the arlloles on it have been mad by hand that grasped after the unattainable when the Nineteenth Century was In Its Infancy. There are bd quilt on tbe old ladles' table that will last a lifetime, hand knitted socks and mitts for little feet and hands, together with stacks of lronholders, mat and pen wipers, and last, but by no means tbe least in importance, some old fashioned and home made balsam. It Is said to be a sovereign specifio for rheumatic complaints, and.is kept company by what at first sight appears to be some atloks of whit candy. A close Inspection shows that it it not fandv at but an old lady's salve (or the cure of tbojiT troublesome things known as oorns and bunions. It has reoeived the name of the CENTENNIAL CONKZrk SALVE, 4fr and ought flnJ a ready sale.

Crossing to the side of the room facing th entrance, Mrs. Wayland Hoyt 1 seen ensconced behind the table furnished by Ihe Strong place Church, and a remarkably beautiful and varied display there is, too. The tables are perhaps tbe most nottc aole a they oertalnly are the largest. There are round aad square, and olover leaf tables, together with, alphabet table and aoldlar tables, which must be seen to be appreciated, for they are new, useful and ornamental, there are scores of them, alt in nic new olothes and sitting perched np In a tree; then there is a very finely executed oil palntiog of the "Hot Springs of Colorado," by Mrs. SoomEs, and also a pastoral soene, very oleverly painted, by Mrs.

Jerome Thompson, on a block of solid blaok walnut. But Jt will never do to remain all the evening at Mrs. Hoyt's table, for within easy speaking distanoe is a bride, attired in satin, lace, tulle and orange blossoms, waiting to be inspected. She adorna tbe table of the Hanson place Baptist Church; where Mrs. W.

H. Slocum, Miss Blohardson and other ladles presided. When the fair closes the bride is to be presented to tbe young daughter of the Rev. Mr. Maofarlane, pastor of the Hanson place Church, who sailed for Europe on Thursday last, in search of health and Btrongtn.

At intervals there Is hoard the familiar words, "Buy a paper," and on turning to see from whence4 the sound proceeds several young and beautiful girls are observed offering for sale "THE PAIS MESSENGER, a handsomely printed, eight page paper, whioh will be Issued under tbe direction of Mrs. A. B. Capwell, Mr. Wayland Hoyt, Mis E.

L. Seaman and Miss Celestlne Howe during the oontlnuanoe of the fair. Although It la teeming with the paper Is of suoh generous dimensions that there 1 abundance of pace for a variety of exoeltent reading matter. The table Of the First Churob, on Plerrepont street, under the oharga of Mrs. Lyman B.

Greene, Mrs. George Potter and Mrs. L. T. LaieU, is devoted exclusively to the sale of Jspaneie goods, ot whioh there is a very fine assortment, especially In bronze and cloisonne articles.

"Bait for gentlemen" oan be purchased at the table of tho Bedford avenue Cburoh, where Mrs. H. E. Wheeler presides. It would be a violation of confidence to teU of what the bait consists, but it 1 warranted to be worth all it costs.

At all the tables there are artioles both useful and ornamental and many that appear to be almost too delicate to be handled, then there are wraps and rugs that will oon bo required for out door use, and a variety of lualoroualy attired ragamuffins for the amusemont of the young folks. Of dolls thero is an apparently endless variety, aad book. From yesterday's Four O'clock Edition. THE FIELD. How the Rival Politicians Are Operating.

Tho nomination of Justice Riley for Sheriff has created no dissension in tho party racks that oan be disooTored by careful observation. The adherents of thejother aspirant for the plaoe are apparently united in bis behalf and determined to do everything in their power to insure him a sploudid victory at the polls.

So extensively are the Demo oratlo ohleftBins distributed throughout the oounty that their warm support Is ot the greatest value and eannot fail to exercise a beneSoial luiluonoo In their respective localities. Justloe Riley yesterday paid a visit to South Brooklyn, whore he has many warm personal friends, and gave a decided impetus to tbe In that Important seotloa of the city. He expects to poll his party vote and something more In the seotlon of the city lying south of Atlamio avenue. County Clerk Delmar'a friends are using their intluenoe for him with hearty good will. Campaign olubs in the interest of Riley for Sheriff, have beon organised in the Seventh, Elsventh, Twentieth, Nineteenth and other wards.

Numerous members hare been enrolled. Olubs are to be organlzod In every seotion of The oity. Justloe Bfley ta already the nominee of the United Labor League, an organisation which olauas 10,000 votes in Brooklyn, and many independent worklnsmen't associations. He Is also said to have the sympathy of many of the tabor. Gresnbiok party.

A oolored men's Riley club has been organized in th Eloventh Ward, and another in the Nineteenth Ward. Many discontented Republicans who supported Colonel Stcginau announce their Intention of voting for Riley. Meanwhile, Mr. Worlh is not allowing the grass to grow beneath his feet. Ha is making an exesedingly vigorous canvass.

Since his nomination he has visited every part ol Brooklyn, and will continue to make the roundB until clootloo day. Police Captain Oliver B. Lcion, ex Alderman Dave Acker, City Works Commissioner Bennett and others, who aided Worlh In the primaries, are doing their utmost to secure his election. Such patronage as is at the disposal of the department Is being used in his behalf. Jourdan, with whom Worth was a favorite from the first, is also making an effort for him, George A.

Kingsland, the Flaherty candidate for Sheriff, is also making a tour of the city and is spending his money froely in Mb vain endeavor. A rumor was in oirculatlon this morning that Mr. Kings land had withdrawn from the oontest in favor of Justloe Riley, but careful investigation failed to confirm it. The Labor Greenback party have two candidates for Scoria" in the race, tho favorite son of the Mechanics' Exchange faction being Francis H. White, and of the Court street aotion, Stephen F.

Folan. Mr. White said to day he intended to remain a candidate until the close of tho polls that he believed he was fairly nominated and that it was his duty to aocept. He expects the tudnrsemeut of the Socialists. THB CHARITIES COMMISSIONEBS.

In past years the oontestg betwoen the Democratic and Republican parties, for the offices of greatest pecuniary value, have so overshadowed the fights for places in the Charities Commission thst tbey have been hardly taken into consideration at all. This year opens a new era in regard to the matter. Public attention has been drawn to tbe subjoot by repeated endeavors to effect the needed reforms which culminatod in the meeting at the Academy and the appointment of a committee of conference to meet the other organizations. The nominations of Mr. Sbipman and Mr.

Mr. Ripley Ropss, Chairman of the Citizens' Committee, informed ihe writer this morning that he bad heard numerous expressions ot approval from citizens of all parties in regard to tbe action of the convention in nominating men of such hlsh oharacter for Charities Commissioners, No doubt Is expressed as to the ability of Messrs, Sbipman and Henry to carry the county by a handsome majority.

Relllj from the Flaherty ticket as a candidate for the Charities Board in tho Second Distriot, has caused trouble in the Flaherty oamp, and they evidently feel that their ticket is orumbllng to pieces, and that they will exert little or no influence at the eleotlon. Joseph Reeve and Chauncey M. Felt, the Republican nominees, are working In an uphill fight against the Citizens' and Demooratio candidates, and are doing all that candidates can do to win. The Democratic city ticket seems to meet with the approval of everybody. It Is admitted that no more judicious course could havo been taken than the one followed in tho nomination of Controller Burred.

The election of Anarew Cunningham is looksd upon as peculiarly fortunate, owing to his great strength In the Eastern District, and his excellent record while in office. Little doubt is entertained by any one that he can fall to easily defeat Albert Ammerman, the Republican nominee for City Auditor. THH TBTBD OONOBESSIONAi DISTBIOT. At the present writing nothing definite has been settled in relation to the man who is to oppose Simeon B. Chittonden for Congress in the Third Distriot.

Owning to the Republican dissatisfaction with the nomination of Chittenden, tbe Democrats are confident of their ability to carry the district, and ther objeot in making a alight delay is to put forward the very strongest man. Disappointment was occasioned by the card of General H. W. Slocum declining tbe nomination, and last evening a number of prominent Dsm ocats conferred with him with a view of persuading him to withdraw bis declination. Tbe General, it la understood, refused to be a candidate.

Ho had no doubt that he would be eleoted if he took the field, but he was obliged to decline by strictly personal reasons. Among the possible oandldates mentioned to day were ex Senator John R. Kennedy, Edmund Driggi, President of the Willlamsburgh Fire Insurance Company ex Senator John Coo, Judge Samuel D. Morris and Henry D. Polhemus, It is expeoted that the convention will agree upon a candidate lo nignt.

Chittenden's supporters are already in the field and are expending much labor and money In his behalf. There Is no doubt that ho will lose hundreds of Republican In the district, the Twentieth Ward being the prlnoipal point of disaffection. THE SECOND OONGEESSIONAL DISTBIOT. A great deal of gossip was occasioned by tha adjournment of the Second Congressional District Convention last night. To day there was much talk about candidates.

The proposition to Indorse William E. Robinson was dtecuased, but so far as could be learned it was not favorably received. Assessor Domlnlck Roche was prominently spoken of, and many predicted that he was the coming man. Mr. Roche, while not seeking the nomination, would accept it if the party so desired, Mr.

Cornelius J. Bergen is still looked upon as a candidate who coald win with ease. It was the general opinion that Veeder was practically out of th race, although his particular friends did not abandon all hope of his rennminatlon. Nothing dofinito was deoided upon up to a late hour this afternoon. The oontests IN THE ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS attraoted much attention to day.

In tbe First Distriot, Hon. John M. Clanoy's ronomlnalion was well received it was conceded that he would defeat bis opponent, Dan Bradley. The Republicans ot the Second Distriot aro still divided as to a candidate. The nomination lies between Robert B.

Sedgwick, of the Sheriff's ofSco, and Hon, Jonathan Ogden, with the chances slightly in favor of the latter. The Democrats will probably renominate Colonel Meyenborg in this district. The ro election of Assemblyman Bhanley id tne Third District is conceded. In the Fourth Distriot the aspirants for the Demo emtio nomination are ex Assemblyman James Tlghe, of the Tenth Ward; ex Alderman Willard, of tbe Eighth Ward, and John U. Shorter, of the Twenly socond Ward.

The most prominent Republican oa'naL dates are Captain Ralph Noble, of the Twenty second Ward, and ex Aldorman Trowbridge, of the Tenth Ward. The struggle in the Fifth Assembly Distriot betwoon Colonel W. W. Slepheneon, of the Twentieth Ward, a'nd Wm. if.

Waring, of the Seventh Ward, will probably be long and bitter. Stephenson will undoubtedly secure tbe nomination. The Democrats have not yet brought forward their candidate. In Jacob Worth's old distriot, the Sixth, Colonel R. Stegman will be the Republican candidate for Assembly.

His friends said to day he would accept the nomination. The Democratic Aldermanlc primaries are to be held to morrow night. It was said to day that Mr. Joslah T. Smith, the wtalthy Blgn painter of Fulton street, would bo the Democratic candidate fdt Alderman In tho Third Ward.

Alderman Phillips will probably be renominated in the Soventh Ward, where ex Chief of Police John S. Folk has been asked to run as an Independent candidate, by Republicans who are dissatisfied with Dave Stewart. Captain Samuel Condon, tha Independent Republican nominee, is making a strong fight in the Thirteenth Ward and will probably defeat Ray, the candidate of tho Flaherty Bennett Ring, Mr. Benjamin Lewis, tbe Independent Republican candidate in the Third Ward, aaid this morning he had no doubt ho would be elected. IRE CIVIL DAHAGR ACT.

The case of Mary Dolan against Henry Wheelnn and Herman Mannkln was before Judge Mc Cue, snd a Jury in Part II, of tho City Court, yesterday afternoon. Tho action was brought under tha Civil Damage act, to recover $6,000 damages. Tha defendant Mabnartn keeps a liquor saloon on the cor nor of Vandcrbilt and Atlantic avenues, and tha defendant Wheolan is his landlord. Under the act referred to tho action would lie either against the man who keeps tho saloon or the man who owns the building. The oharge, of conrso, on the part of the plain 'tt was that the defendants furnished her husband, Patrick Dolan, with liquor against her protests, Dolan is a plumber's assistant, and spent a great deal of time and all the money he could get, for liquor, in Mabn kin's saloon.

The jury rendered a verdict of $250 for the plaintiff. Tho Eleventh Ward Demooratio Club met on Monday, in EUcr's Hall, Raymond Btreet, and Indorsed Judge Thomas RUey for Sheriff Assistant District Attorney Oakey appeared for the People and ex Judge Troy for the defense. Frederick Meyors wa then placed upon trial upon an Indlotment for manslaughter. He was charged with killing Jame Connors on the 3d of last September. Meyers kept a grocery and liquor saloon out toward Flatbush, beyond the Penitentiary.

On the day named, James Connors and his cousin John came to Meyers' place and demanded liquor. He refused to supply them, on the ground that tbey were already very much Intoxicated. The two men resented the refusal, and oreated a disturbance outside tbe saloon. They threw stones and made alt'sorta of threats, and refused to leave when ordored away by Meyer. Jam Connors was across the street on an embankment throwing Atones at Meyer who was standing in front of the saloon.

Meyers fired two shots at him, ono of them took effect aa Connors was bending over to pick np another stone. The ball struok bim in the ahoulder snd passed diagonally across tbe breast and wa Anally stopped by one of tbe ribs. He went away, bu was soon overcome by the loss of blood and the fatal character of tbe wound. He died soon after. The facts of the case wero not disputed, but tbe defense was made that the shooting was dons in self do ense, and that he believed himself to be in dsns or from the assault of the two men, knowing that they were desperate characters.

Assistant District Attorney Oakey oDnducted the case for the People and ex Judge Troy appeared for the defense. Meyers has the reputation of being a quiet and peaceable man. Case still on. THE GUN. The Brooklyn Club's Prize Shooting.

The Third Contest for tbe Fox Gnn Good Birds and Fine Shooting Dr. Tynn Affain Wins. Yesterday was a lovely October day, and it led to a numerous attendance ot the members of th Brooklyn Gun Club at the Long Island Club Ground, at Dexter9, on tbe Jamaica road, nearly sll the crack shots of the club being present. The occasion waa tbe third of the series of contests lor the valuable Fox gun whioh waa put up last August aa ft special club prixe. In tbe opening match, Sr.

Wynn led tbe con testants and counted oae of the three viotorles whioh are lo give him possession of tha prise. At the September meeting, Mr. Gllderaleeve "Old Sport" bore off th palm, and consequently yesterday these two had to stand back a con pic of yards, thsy shooting at 28 yards rise, while all the others stood at 28 yards. At the November meeting, Dr. Wynn, who took she lead yesterday will have to stand at 80 yard, Gllderaleeve at 28, and all tho others at 26.

This will make the doctor's task a rather arduous one in November. Yesterday, Dexter had ont a very good lot of tbe majority springing lively from the traps, while Incomers were not so numerous aa usual, and but a very few were tame fellows. The (core shows the shooting to have been above tho average, aa out of 102 birds killed, 89 were dropped with the first barrel, and 63 out of the 102 killed were driving birds. THE MATCH began at 2:15 P. with twelve contestant) ready to take up their positions at th call.

Glldersleeve opened the match by killing a lively incomer with his first barrel. Then Dr. Willard emptied two barrel at a good driver, which got away from him; Eddy then dropped an lncomor, and Dr. Wynn attended to a atrong quarterer to the right, havios to use both barrel. Dr.

Atkinson waa next, and missing fire at tbe bird he had another trapped, and with a quick shot dropped a quartrer to the left with bis first barrel. The Doctor is decidedly too quick on the trigger. At any rat he was yesterday, Broadway and Madison followed the Doctor, both grassing their birds with the first barrol. Dr. Race, however, let a driver get away from him after emptyiug both barrels, and that waa the last miss of the first round, as Messrs.

Steele, Zellner, Butler tbe Judge Sbaw and Wood all dropped their birds, Butler and Wood with their first barrels, th latter making a good abot. Ten birds killed out of tblrtoen contestants at the score was a good average, and the sport now began to progress in interest. Messrs. Willard, Atkinson and Race Vere now in the rear guard, aud in tho second round Steole joined them, he missing a lively quartering bird to tbe left. Dr.

Race also added to bis failures, a qnartercr getting away from him again. The round yielded eleven birds killed out of the thirteen, this being THE BEST BOUND of the match. Pretty shooting was done in this round by Zellner, Butler, Shaw and Wood, only one of the thirteen birds being an incomer, ton being strong drivers, and all of those were killed, and nine of them by tha first barrel In fact, it was as good a round as seen in any of the three meetings. The third round showed a falling off in the general shooting, Wood joining tbe roar guard, as did Broadway and Madison, while Steele added to his list of missed bird. Glldersleeve, Eddy and Wynn, however, oaoh mad fine shots with their second barrel in tbla round, while Atkinson and Race dropped lively quartering birds with their first barrel, as did Butler; Steele and Zellner, too, making excellent shots with their second barrel, The next throe rounds showed the same average aa the first, ten birds out of the thirteen in eaoh round being killed.

In the fifth round Shaw went In with the rear crowd, as did Zellner, Dr. Baca adding to his duck eggs, the dootor evidently bjing off hia sight on this occasion. In the sixth round Eddy Joined Steele's company, thereby leaving only Glldersleeve, Wynn and Butler with clean scores, and cow it was that the contest between these three began to get deeply interesting. Butler was Bhootlng in flue style, and Gildor sleeve's work was very promising for ultimate success and though, Dr. Wynn was not dropping them as clean as is his wont, still ha was up to the requisite mark to win.

In THE MOHTH BOUND Gllderileeve used both barrels at a lively driver and cored bla first miss, a lost bet with Wood on his killing the bird, adding to the error. When Wynn stood up to the score, he, too, had to shoot at a strong driver, and this time the bird got away, gieatly to th delight of Wood and Glldersleeve. This left the Jndge ahead in the score, and as he grassed a quarterer in handsome style, Wynn, Wood, and "Old Sport" began to look serious. In fact Wynn sat down on himself aud gave the crowd a rest lo ohafflng. Wood, however, kept up the chin muslo well, and Ihe next round was looked for with increasing Interest.

THB NIliXH BOONS saw eaob man from Glldersleeve to Dr. IUc? grass bis bird the latter, however, missed a lively quarterer, aa did Steele, who was not shooting well in the match. Wben it came to Butler's turn all ores were fixed upon the handsomo figure of the keen sighted rlflsman, especially those of Wood, Wynn Si Co. Up apraug a fine strong quarterer to the left, and though the bird was hit by shot from both barrels, be mamged to carry himself to tho fence beyond the bounds, aud the Judge had to record his first miss. "Let's take a drink," said Wynn to Wood and O.

8., and the three atnllod as they are wont to smile under such ciroumstances, and then they went over to tho Judge's corner lo express their "deep regret," at his mishap. Of oourse this made th tenth round almost the turning point in the oontest, and tne shooting waa WATOHCD WITH INTEREST. Gilderileere lsd off with both barrels at a strong driver, and aa the bird passed the bounds "Good by, old beard from Wynn, while Wood chuckled Immensely. It was now Wynn's turn for bis tenth ahot, and now it was that the Doctor's staying qualities began to shine out. A floe driver Jumped from tbe trap, but he was splendidly covered, and only on barrel bad to be used.

Butlor had to us two barrel at an incomer, taking bis head clean off, the round turning out, however, to be the poorest of the match, aa but eight birds were killed out of the thirteen shot at. Now came the turning point of ths contost, as tha close of the tenth round left TH TIES to be hot off, tho contestants being Messr. Wyno, Butier and Wood. The doctor droppsd thres drivers In handsome sty is his three best shots. Butler missed hi first bird, but secured the other two, and Wood only got one out ot hi three, a poor Incomer, the match of the day en'dlnit with Dootor WYNN THB WINNE8.

This makes his second victory of tho sojrles. a3 la consequence, the masting 1 H0Tembsr will bj looked forward to 'with gpSclal Interest. Below will found tbe full score 6f tbe match Yard. Scora. K'dM'd 28 I 1 0 i 4J v.

In tbe Legislature their representative would ba oalled npon to assist in framing laws in the interest of economy in the oity and State, as well as to participate in the election of a United States Senator In place of Roscne Conkling. It was the duty of all honest, fair minded citizens, irrespective of party, to send men to the Legislature who would advocate A JTTST BKAPPOBTIONMENT OF THB STATE I by which the people of the two great olties are deprived of their proper representation.

FLYNN'S SPEECH HB GIVES AH ACCOUNT OF HIS STEWARDSHIP. Mr. Flynn thanked the oonvention for renominating especially as it would give him an opportunity of appearing before the voters of tho distriot for their approval or disapproval of his course in the Assembly last Winter.

Although comparatively unknown to the people of the distriot last year be reoeived an overwhelming majority. To day he waa known to all and it would be for the voters to say whether he had honestly and faithfully represented their interests. He felt oonsoious that he did bis duty as their servant and representative. Ho was at all times ready to receive their oounsels. sympathise with their grievances, lend a helping hand in tbe promotion of their interests and be at all times accessible to tbe humblest of his constituents.

Experience had given bim that familiarity with the methods of legislation whioh would enable him to be of more service to the people of bis distriot and of the State, if eleoted, this Winter, than he had been last year. While tbe convention oould havo seleoted abler and wiser men aa their candidate, they oould not have fiomlnated ono who would more diligently and faith ully look after tha people' Interests. To those who watched his course in the Legislature It would be unnecessary io say thst all measures calculated to Improve the condition of the laboring man, all plana that were intended to alleviate their misfortunes or mollify their sufferings met with his hearty suppori. He fought vigorously 1n the Assembly for tbe passage of tbebll to reBtriot and improve the Infamously imperfect system of OONTRAOTINO THB LABOB OF THE CBTMINAL8. To the sttMtlif hava nassed representation in th Assembly.

The speaker, de nounced Republican misrule and appealed to working men to stand by tbe, Demooratio party. "Plaoe th aeal of condemnation" said he, "upon every person, hi he Republican or "orooked" Democrat who asks for your suffrages. Do not assist in pa perpetuating tbe power of the Republican party in the Legislature, or the rodistrioifng of (he State Will ba again postponed. Tbeir action defeating reapportionments is a throat against tne security oi society since it demoralise tne law abiding spirit of the oommunlty. It la your duty to elect a Democratle member of Assembly as the salvation of a single distriot may spare tbe IStato.

the calamity of being represented in thetlnlted States Senate by a Republican. Mr. Flynn closed by appealing to his hearers to vote the straight Demooratio ticket, and they would regain those offices which of right belonged to them but which they lost through dissensions in tbeir own party. The convention then adjourned line die. Elfcfbtb District.

Mr. Cornelius Caulfleld called the delega tea to the Eighth Assembly District Convention to order and Mr. P. Ballanan waa chosen seoretary. All being present, as Bhown by the roll oall, Mr.

Nlntb Distriot. There are prospects of a very lively contest for the Demooratio nomination in this distriot, tbe candidates being the present lnoumbent, Colonel Bergen, Counselor Gray and Henry Adams. Mr. Gray's friend have made a very spirited effort to Insure his selection, and claim that he will be tbe choice of the convention. The other candidates, however, aro equally confident of sncosss.

Mr, j. Eagan has been placed in the Sell by the Labor and Qreenbaok organizations of the district, but it is not probable that his claims to recognition at the bandB of tbe Denro oratlo Convention will be reoognlzad, Messrs, D. W. Talmage, Qoorge Elliott, Dltmas Jewell and Counselor Watson are aspirants for tbe Republican nomination, Major Hobbs having retired from the contest. Tbe Flabertyltea have nominated Mr.

J. R. AUaben as their candidate, so that there will be at least four Bich naouds in the field, MRS. COOPER Inquiring? into the Cause of Her Death. Following np the Indications GlTon in her Husband's Statemout.

So far little of any acoount Jita turned up concerning the alleged poisoning of Mrs. Wm. B. Cooper, who died fn New Utrecht in July last. There Is nothing further to Indicate that she really was poisoned except the allegations contained in the letter left by her husband, and whioh was written before be committed suioide.

Judge Cropsey appeared to be very anxious to find Attorney Catlin yesterday, bnt be failed to tse him, although that official waa in his office two hours before and two hour after noon. The letter left by Cooper mentioned the names of three married women aa being acoeeaories to, the poisoning; of Mrs. Coopor. Two of those names have leaked out, one waa that of Mr. Mary L.

Smith, ot 192 Johnson street, ana the other was Mrs. Barnett Johnson, the widow of the late Associate Jndge of the County Court, Neither of these ladies have been ar rested, but the husband of Mrs. Smith denies the allegation as absurd and unfounded, and Mrs. Johnson, It Is Bald, will voluntarily appear before Judge Crop sey or any other official who may desire her presence in the case. Judge Cropsey stated last nigbt that he would send on to Newark, where the body of Mrs.

Cooper is interred, and hive it exhumed so tbat an adtopsy and an analysis may be mado of the internal organs. If that is done the boly will not bo in thig oity until to morrow and whore the autopsy will be made as yet is a questloo, Tho Judge seems to be so much excited about the case as to be unable to determine on any particular course to be taken in tho matter, although he is responsible for tbe statement that he ha twenty one lotters, the contents of which are alleged to bear out the allegations made by Cooper. Tbe general impression is that Coopor wsb demented ot the time of his loath and did not understand what he was writins. As the case stands it is a very delicate ono to touob, for at present there are not actual facts ou which the charge can be proven, and it would be unJUBt until such time as an investigation of a more decided and trustworthy oharacter than the one now in progress, to publish anything which is calculated to damage tbe reputation of tbe persons who havo at present bocome involved in the case.
