A more brilliant scene than that presented by the luxuriously appointed gardens, luminous with parU oolored lights, blooming and blossoming like a veritable Eden, and radiant with the gay toilets of beautiful women and Joyful, happy oountenanoas of myriads of visitors, could hardly be imagined.

REMARKS OF ALDERMAN MDBTHA.

Aid. Murtha Mr. President, I rise to second the resolutions offered by the Rentleman from the Twenty third. and were it not, Bir, that a desire to express my own feelings in the loss which I think Ibis Board and likewise the City ot Brooklyn bare sustained in the decease of Charlos J. Shepard, I believe, sir, that all that could be said haa certainly boon well aald by the eoaileman trtm tbe Twenty third.

I believe, sir, that th ftmrflKftlanH used in tho communication announcing officially the death of our associato momber, exhibit tbe attributes which governed tho mau in his business snd in hla official lifo. Mr. Shepard, sir, I believe em bodied incorruptiuio nonesty, Bternng integrity strict prjbity.

The fact that his physical health waa impairod almost from the time ho became associated with ua, did not dot him from bis dntiea.

He was present, here, on many occasions whon it would have been far better had be been at home taking the rest which hia body and mind ao much needed. I had not the pleasure of knowing Mr. Shepard, peraonally, for any groat length of time, but in tho few months that I was associated with bun, here, he became very much ondoared to me. He was a man whom I lookod up to as embodying thoso principles whloh do aomucn tn arinrn and beautify manhood. I know tbat his in stincts were all bonevoloni and kindly.

I know from my own personal knowlcago tnat no nas Doon a guiuing and leading hand to many young mon in their efforts to carve out for themselves, in this life a fitting position in sooiety. To tuoae.whoui bo saw ambitious and zealous in their efforts iobecoino honorable membera nf aneietv. hia hands and BUrae were always open.

BEMABBS OT PRESIDENT FRENCH. Oentlomen, I desire to aud a lew words to what has already been, saiu concerning our aepartea irtuuu, Alderman Charles J. oncparu.

The call for thia extra session or our Board has brought us together to speak of ono who. but a few days ago occupied tbat now vacant Death has entered our ranks, and taken from ua ono of our honored. and respected members. It la but a comparatively ahort time Bince that wo took upon, ourselves the responsible dulios to which we woro severally elected, and who will aay that the dopartod did not faithfully do bin part. Week after week he was found at his poBt, always ready to give a reason for the measures he advocated or.

opposed. He was a mau of decided convictions as to Tils duty a blessing to be covctod a noble, fearless advocate for 1,.. nrf aa fearleea and wnatererue uuou" ha be e.tabeU'wionr fiS dent. Hia quick, penetrating mind waa intensely interested in all maiwre that pertained to good government He felt hla responsibility and acted well hla Wo cannot but feel had his life been epsred he would have accomplished much good for the ward ho so ably represented, and also for tho oily at large. His dcalre was to help In every effort to make our great city a praise In all tho land, a goodly city to live and labor io, and to lie down in the sweet consciousness that when bis work waa done it waa well done, snd that the reward ot the faithful awaited him in tho city Charlea J.

Shepard wae born inheCity of Hartford, March 26, 1915. He came to New York City In 1834, and became a resident of Brooklyn in 181S He was a merohint in the City of Now York for many yeara and filled many poaitlona of truat and honor. Peace to hia memory and blessings upon hla "The wMuingUcomee to ua in the language of the Holy Writ "Be ye therefore ready also, for the Son of Man oometh at an hour when ye think not." The preamble and resolutions were then adopted, with an amendment that all the city ofiloee be closed after twelve o'clock to morrow. The President appointed the following committee to make arrangements for attending tho funeral Aldermen Fisher, Griawold, Murtha, Arnott and Black. The President announced tbat the aged mother of the deceased had said that ahe preferred that the members of the Board would attend at the churoh Instead of st the house.

The Board thsn adjourned, with tho understanding that the members would assemble at noon to morrow, preparatory to prooeediag to Plymouth Oburob, where the funeral services will bo held at one o'olook. The remains will rtmoved. to Hartford for Interment. way to the middle of the street, subjeot to the city's rlaht of way on tha surface, and not above tne annaea, and that no anon latter exists or can be asserted, without damage and with exemplar satisfaction for damaffea. Another point on whloh stress ialaid is the peculiar language of the charter of the Company, xne onarter names one route and then says, "or over suoh other streets and avenue as the Jfiijor and Common Council shall approve." This granting of oity eon sent Is laid, by these opponents, to xequro the consent both of the Mayor and the Coo.

man Council, and chat nnlik an ordinaxtoe the consent cannot be passed over a veto, or be let be come valid, after tea dayi Mayoral default to sign it. The men who insist that the Mayor is tha complete master of the situation are trying to make him either directly favor their views or as completely do it, by what they call a stubborn Inactivity. Mayor BohroedeT aaya he hu yet autorlied nobody to speak for him, and he resents alike those who quote him either way and those threaten him with a rebuke by the Aldermen should his action not please them. The steps whloh aggrieved and associating oltizens propose to take In court, If any, could not yet be ascertained. Those steps are kept a profound secret, as it is evident that such aidella narrow of watching the other.

A great deal of satisfaction was, however, expressed last night over the Saoxs'a statement that the General Term at Ponghkeepsle had affirmed the Injunction granted by Justice Pratt against the Prospect Park and Coney Island Railroad Company, on the suit of the Washington Cemetery Association, which la said to involve and affirm tho principle of exemplary damages. The fact and issue of anon damages are now pending in a suit before Jndge Gilbert here, on con grming or not 15,500 damages to said Cemetery Association to be paid by said railroad, on the report of Commissioners of the Court duly appointed. The injunction movement before Judge Dally in New York, are also being carefully studied, and confeienoes dally take place between the attorneys at quiet work and the attorneys at more publio work over the river. Interview With President of the Road. Au Eaolx reporter asked Mayor Schroeder if he would inform him whether the names of the parties who were said to be ready to build the Elevated Railway had been mentioned to him and if he would disclose them.

The Mayor replied that he had not been informed on that subject. He understood, however, tbat the money would be forthcoming aa soon as the Common Council resolution should be signed and the ronte fixed. The reporter next called on Mr. Burtu aud asked him if he would tell who the parties were who stood ready to build the road. Mr.

Btirtis said in reply that it would NOT BX XSPEDIEPT or wise to do so. He gave as his roaaona for the refusal that the parties who were opposed to the road would use every legal means to prevent its being built. If the names of the proposed builders should be made publio, the opponents of the road would go to the men who were ready to build the road and would tell them that they had, lay fifty thousand dollars, subscribed to beat It by legal means that they were determined to do so, and they would thus dissnade or frighten them from signing the contract and going on with the construction, Juat as soon as the route was definitely fixed and the Mayor's signature was attached to tho Common Council resolution, say within three days of that event, the contract to build the road would be signed, and he would be ready to give the namea of the contracting parties to the public. Mr. Burtis further said thst the promoters of the road had before them propositions to build the road irom THBEE DISTINCT PARTIES.

All of them were omiuontly responsible Two of these different parties were among the greatest bridge builders in the country, and they knew what they were about and how to go about it. Another party was a strong financial personage. A fourth party, a large iron manufacturer, had made a proposition, but it waa not as favorable as either of the other three, and waa not considered. Mr. Burtis said that he expected every sort of legal opposition, but that he and the promoters of the road were dotormlned to fight for the right to build the road to tho courts of highest resort, and if they were beaten, why they would Blmply sink their money and quietly quit, but they WOULD NOT QUIT until they bad exhausted every legal means.

He said that ho believed moat of the opposition or the bottom of the opposition was in the oity railroads whloh, notwithstanding the good they bad once accomplished for Brooklyn, were now in tne way as the principal obstructions to Brooklyn's progress. He Instanced a case of a prominent carpet merchant of Brooklyn who Uvea in New Jersey, and can more easily reach his home there than his former home in the upper part of the city by horse cars. Mr. Burtia also told a story which this carpet merchant told him by way of illustration. It was of AN OLD WOMAN who came from out on tho Island to Brooklyn to buy a carpet.

She was left at Hunter's Point, tbenoo she went to New York, where she got lost. A philanthropic policeman conducted her to Fulton Ferry, and after a Ipsa of hall a day she found the carpet store, but vowed ahe would never come thero again. It wbb thus that Brooklyn loat its inhabitants and itB trade. Mr. Burtia further said that he and his associates had just engaged two consulting engineers, General Newton and Colonel Adams.

They were to name a third and these were to examine tho proposed plans and report to the promoters aforesaid. A Committee Call on tbe mayor. President John H. Burtis, Supervisor Phelpa and Mr. Moore, a Committee of the Board of Directors of tho Elevsted Railway Company, called upon Mayor Schroeder th( nflo tuey nuia give him any information in regard to the road in reply to the objections which bad been made to it.

His Honor said that he had nothing to ask, as he thought the matter had been very fully discussed already. He thought that the only way they could meet the objections was by bringing a pocketf ull of money and compensating the property owners. Supervisor Phelps said that if tho property waa damaged tbe ownera would have their remedy. The Mayor replied yes, they could go into court. Anybody who wanted to go to law could do so if they ad money to carry suits on.

His Honor asked if the company intonded to have flagmen at different points. Mr. Burtis rcpliod thst they would if it were neoeBBa ry. They did dot propose to make more than two or three stops on DeKalb avenue one at Macomber square, another at Yanderbilt avenue and the third at Grand avenue. The Mayor inquired what they proposed to do with the DeKalb avenue Railroad.

Supervisor Phelps contended that on account of the few stoppages, tho business of tbe DeKalb avenue Road would not be injured. There was some talk that the steam railroad would frighten horses, and Supervisor Phelps assured the Mayor that the horses would soon got UBod to it. The Mayor replied that they did not seem to get used to it in Greenwich Btreet. The Committee assured the Mayor that lho company were sincere in their work and that they were ready at any time to give him any information he might desire concerning the enterprise. They then witbdrow.

The Mayor has received a large number of letters on the subject, some asking him to approve the resolution fixing the route, and others urging him to veto it. He has not yet intimated what ho intends to do. DISAPPOINTED LUNATICS, Mr. Moses S. Beach volunteered to enter ain tho insane of the Flatbush Asylum, with stereo scopic views, on last evening.

The gentleman arrived at the institution about eight o'clock, and went to work put his instrument in order. After considerable painstaking be announced to Superintendent Blanch ard that he was about ready to commenco; and acoord ngly the patients, male and female, were condncted to the ohapel whero the exhibition was to take place. A tew visitors sat in tho gallery. The lights wore then urned down and all oyes were Intently watching the white sheet on which Mr. Beach was to reflect his cabi net of pictures.

There was some trouble, however, with the instrument. Mr. Beach couldn't obtain the proper light within it in consequence of a defective burner. He tried hard to centralize the light, taking great pains to bring the two gases from their holders to a proper focus. About fifteen minutes were consumed In this way.

Some of the pstlents became restless, and Peter Farmer, who sat dose to tho Instrument, cut some strange and comical antics when the gases began to bias. The old gentleman grunted in a moat audible manner and plunged his head bohind bis neighbor's back to escape the effect of what bo imagined waa an explosion. It was exceedingly amusing to watch his movements. Mr. Beach asked that the lights should be turned up, announcing to the physician In oharge that his defective burner would compel him to post pone the entertainment until this evening.

The announcement was a great disappointment. The patients, however, retired to their respective halls without a murmur, being pleased with the prospect of enjoying the entertainment the next evening. Mr. Beaoh will be careful that there is no slip np thia evening. HONEY MARKET.

Thomas Donaldson who resides at 169 High treet, attempted to bang himself in the garret of his reddanoe yesterday.

The man la subject to spells of insanity and has been twice to the Luuatlo Asylum at Flatbush. He has conceived an Idea that nil wife Is nnf althf ul to him, and so alleges In a somewhat incoherent letter which ha wrote previous to hie attempt to staangle himself. He states In it that the neighbors all know that his suspicions are well founded; on the contrary the neighbor say that his wife is a most estimable woman, and Donaldson's own brother gives her a high oharaoter, and says that his brother's suspicions are merely the result of his attacks of Insanity. Mrs. Donaldson observed him with some rope yesterday afternoon, and fearing that he would attempt to take his life, as he had often threatened to do, she kept a watoh on him.

He triad to avoid her and finally ahe lost sight of him. She aearohed the house and finally discovered him banging by this rope to a beam in the garret. She at onee cut him down and summoned assistance, and he revived in a short time; fortunately he nad not been long hanging when she found him. For bis better preservation he waa sent down to the Second Precinct Station House, where he was locked up, and this morning he was sent off to the asylum again.

Starrs' Stated Supply His Attitude in the Association of Congregational Ministers Toward Mr. Beecher Mr. Shearman, Clarence Bowen and the Women the Latter Dined With. The Rev. Wm.

M. Toylor, D. is pastor of the Broadway Tabernaclo Church, In New York. This church had for its pastor the Rev. Joseph F.

Thompson, D. theologian, abolitionist, historian, platform speaker, agitator, author, one of the most manyeided, active, Americanised Now Engtanders that ever touched and made a strong mark upon the moral, sooial and literary life of New York City. Somo years ago Doctor Thompson retired to Berlin to gather health and make himBelf en rapport with the literary, historical and court circles of the German capital. His retirement left tho Tabernacle Church in New York without a pastor, and it lookod round for a long tlmo without success. The way in which tbat pastor was secured finally is not without conneotion with events which occurred in this city, and at Plymouth Churoh so recently aa night before last.

It ao happened that while, tho Tabernacle Church was without a pastor that iheJRev. It. S. Storrs, D. of the Church of the Pilgrims in this city, was constrained to take a long trip to Europe to repair hiB health, which many years of assiduous and distinguished service had materially affected.

It became neoea3ary to secure in his absence not only a man of distinction but a person who could combine such preaching and social qualities aa would render him a oongonlal ad interim pastor to the arctic sone of the Pilgrims people. At this time one of tho leading members and most prominent officials of tho Churoh of tho Pilgrims was Mr. Jeremiah p. Buck, who still atanda in that same relation. He was not without considerable influence in tho cbolco of a gentleman who for nine months would certainly occupy, and In aome aonaea fill, the place of tho llev.

Dr. Storrs. This choice finally fell upon REV. WILLIAM TAYLOR) D. pastor of tho In Liverpool, and a man of aa much prominence in Dissenting interests in England as any outside the City of London, and easily the equal of Parker, Braden and any one except Spurgcon in London itself.

a The Iiov. William M. Taylor is also sew to be a relative as well sb friend of Mr. Buck. Ho preached with much acceptance in Dr.

Storrs' pulpit, and returned to Liverpool. Tho good impression he made in tho Church of tho Pilgrims attractod tho observation of tho Tabernaclo Church in New York. Ho was called to tbat pulpit, and has slnco been identified with the Congregationalism of tbo two cities bringing to tho Congregational polity, however, upon his own admissions, but very little knowledge and very few prepossessions in its favor. A PliESBTTZRI VN OF PnESDITIBIAMS, he Is In religious respects a Federalist, and his mind and habits are cast In the same inflexible and rigid mold as are those of his brothren, It. S.

Storrs and Sr, Dudington. The scandal touched tho churches of Congregational ism to somo extent before Dr. Taylor came hero. To what extent it has touched them slnco is merely a mat ter of record. This gentleman was Modorator of the New York and Brooklyn Association of Congregational Ministers at tho lime tho Tillou Boecher trial began in Judge Neilson Court.

At the ineeling of that body a membor who has Bince become very unfriendly to Mr. Beecher introduced resolutions calling for tho investigation of the scandal, to declio whether Mr. Boecber was fit or not to remain a mctnncr oi tho association. Aa that very question was in vital issue in the civil court, this movement was esteemed superfluous, hostile and Machiavellian. This resolution proposed tho appointment of a committee, which was afterward selected, but the whole subjeol pending tho trial was laid UDon the table.

In this meeting the Rev. Dr. Taylor MADE NO 8ION. At the next meeting an effort was made to rescind the resolution, upon the ground that tho matter was a church one that tbat body was only a personal one, or a club that sevoral forma of tha solution of the scandal were in progress that Mr. Beecher was only nominally a momber, and that the whole interference was wanton, unkind, and could but be proliflo of heartburning and division.

This motion to rescind was finally defeated, and it is understood that the voice of Dr. Budington and all the influence of Dr. Taylor were thrown in favor of retaining the unfriendly move upon the records of the Association. Dr. Taylor as Moderator, however, apparently only presided, The world knows that at tho next meeting of the Association, during the pendenoy of tho Mrs.

Moulton Plymouth Counoil negotiation, Mr. Beeobor's friends in the Asso clstion, lod by Dr. H. U. Storrs, favorod the appoint, ment of a Provisional Committee, and this movement of Dr.

Storrs' identified the wishes and friends of Mr. Beecher with the movemont under consideration. It was at least expected that Dr. II. M.

Storrs would be a membor, and by usage Chairman, of the Committee whoso appointment ho advocated. Instead of that Dr. Budington was mado Chairman by tho Moderator, and the Moderator himself appointed upon the Committee, and Rev. H. M.

McFarland otherwise known aa Rov. R. B. Storra' Bosnell" was the busiest man in promoting antagonistic progress to Mr. Beeoher with reference to the subjeot matter in hand.

The pendency of the Mutual Council and the gathering sessions of tho Advisory Council made it a necessity of decenoy for this Committee to stay in its shell where. being invisible, it was really almost forgotton. The world knows that at the next whloh was the last meeting of the Association, the Committee reported in favor of no interference, out made their report in sucn a way as to SQUINT TOWABD THE ANDOVIB PROPOSITION with loving eyes. The world further knows that the Association, enlarging itself from an antl Beechcr clique to representative body, quietly, but determinedly, indorsed the Advisory Council proposition and provided a committee to oo oporato with the Commission appointed by that body. The malcontent elements adverse to Mr.

Beeoher were given the opportunity to become his accusers and prosecutors, Alwsys, however, in favor of an investigation when one could not be bad, and alwaya against it when once presented for their adoption, they resigned in a body and the cntlro number of them could, if fully spread out, make themselves very oomfortsble upon the seat of one Bide of a email horae oart. Among those who resigned with R. S. Storrs, Dr. Budington, MoFarland, al, was the Rev.

William M. Taylor himself, the sentiment of whose churoh has virtually forbidden him to take as active a part in Mrs. Moulton's unfriendly movements aa the friends of Mrs. Moulton declared bis sympathies would have impelled him to take. This is the silent, cautious, critical, cynical antl Beecher gentleman whom Henry Bowen, with knowledge of his man, proposes to make the storage reservoir of hia evasion, concoctions, perverniona and monotonous maw wormlsm.

Ho probably knows hie selection, and the publio will wait further developments with interest. It is believed that Mr. Shearman and Mr, Clarence Bowon knew what and whom Mr. Shearman waa talking about when he aakod Clarence Bowen if he had not DINED TWO SONDATB AGO WITH THE WOMAN bis father is trying (o make infamous 7 Clarence made no reply; and his silonoe gave confirmation to Mr. Shearman'a Impression.

This tactical move on the part of the little Iswyer ahowa (bat Mr. Bowen baa no more knowledge on the subjeot than Mr. Beecher's friends. The publio has an interest In knowing whether Clarence Bowen dined at home two Sundays ago or noi. or Mr.

Shearman's question does not necessarily imply that he dined abroad. We cannot satisfy that Interest. Dr. Taylor is expectod to hear everything that Bowen baa to lay, and to come away pledged to eternal secrecy. It is Bowen'a move morally to compel Mr.

Beecher to pour out to the world the statement the Patriarch makes to Taylor and Plymouth Church. We have put Clarence Bowen'a dinner and Mr. Shearman'a question, Dr. Taylor's proposed functions and tho Patriarch's purposes all in a Jumble; bat if this Jumble does not became the subjeot of harmless, simple and suegestive evolution why, then, the publio will learn what it will become very ahortly, and in that expectation let there be a patient wailing.

Prooeeeriing8 of the General Term of the Supreme Court at FoughkeepBie. Causes Appertaining to Brooklyn Assess ment Cases Moulton ts. Beccher Other Hatters of Interest. Speoial Correspondence of the Eagle. PouanKaxrsn, May 11, 1876.

The Hay session ol tha General Term ot the Supreme Court for the Second Judicial District has been in progress at Poughkeepda this week, and has managed to get through a considerable amonnt of business. The term will close to morrow, but will dear off the calendar before It adjourns, If it takes all night, so at least says Justice Dykman, who is sitting with Justices Barnard and Gilbert. An unusual number of cases of importance to Brooklyn are on the calendar, and tha Brooklyn bar has been well and ably represented. Among the Brooklyn lawyers present to day are Corporation Counsel William O. DeWitt, Assistant Corporation Counsel John K.

Knaebel, General BenJ. 7. Tracy, Distriot Attorney Brilton, I. L. Sanderson, Thomas O.

Shearman, General Roger A. Pryor, D. P. Barnard, Counselors Marean and Dally, ex Judge Thompson, John J. Kimble, Edgar M.

Cullen, ex Judge Samuel D. Morris, J. L. Overfleld, A.H. Dana and others.

dozen or more ot chrysalis lawyers from Brooklyn are also in attendance to undergo the examination for admission to the bar, which takes place this afternoon, before Counselors Farrington, A. H. Dana and Oonrl opened at 9 o'clook and will sit until 6 o'clock this afternoon, beside holding a session this evening. Justice Barnard presides, and that is a sure sign there will be no lagging. The major part of the time of the Court to day was taken up with the hearing of cases In which Brooklyn people are interested.

Several of them are narrated below. Yesterday afternoon the case of Patrick Byrnes, respondent, vs. Jacob Dunn, appellant, came up for argument, E. L. Sanderson appearing for plaintiff and respondent, and George A.

Black for defendant and appellant. The appeal was made from an order made at Special Term, by Justice Pratt, allowing the plaintiff to amend his complaint. The action was brought to recover damagea for the alleged wrongful conversion of perBOnal property. On a former trial of the case, the defendant, to the surprise of the plaintiff, offered in evidence a chattel mortgage upon the property specified in the complaint, and it appeared in evidenoe that the property had been sold by the defendant, under ssid mortgsge, but for a larger sum thsn was due from the plaintiff. He claimed that the mortgage was fraudulent and void, and that if not void he was entitled to the balance.

The court nonsuited the plaintiff but subsequently set aside the non suit and granted a new trial. Upon the appeal the defendant's attorney held that the Court could not allow the amending of the complaint, but the counsel for the plaintiff claimed that the order appealed from waa made In the discretion of the Court and upon terms, also that it waa not appealable, and should be dismissed. He also claimed that the only question tor the Court to pass upon was one of power. The application for leave to amend tbe complaint waa made at Special Term and granted. Decision reserved.

This morning a case came up which involves A NIOE LEGAL POINT. The esse was that of Peter A. Johnson, respondent, against Conrad Meyer and Charles H. Watson, appellants. E.

L. Sandorson appoared for tbe respondent, and F. Q. Salmon for the appellants. The defendants were sureties of Gabriel Anderson in an undertaking of ball, given to discharge the defendaut from arroat in an action for libel and slander.

The defendant lived in Morrisania, then Weatminater County, and the venue was laid in Kings County where tbe plaintiff resided. An order of arroat was granted by Judge Henry A. Moore, and bail fixed at $1,600. The papers were sent to the 3 henff oi Westchester County, and the dofendant was arrested and lodged is Jail. Upon a motion at Special Term Judge Tappen reduced the ball to $350, which was given, tho defendants in the case in point going upon the bond, and Anderson was discharged from custody.

The undertaking fixed the residence of the defendants and hia sureties in Morrisania, Westchester County. Tho defendant was a Swede, and previous to the trial went to Sweden. On tbe 3rd of March, 1874, the caso was tried, and a verdict of $1,800 for the plaintiff woe obtained. A transcript of tho Judgment was filed lu Westchester and execution issued against the property of the defondant, and the return, "No proporty found," made. On January 1, 1874, however, before the case was tried, Morrisania was annexed to New York.

After tbe trial a tranBoript of Judgment waa filed la New York County and return, ed unsatisfied. An exooutlon waa also issued against the body of the defendant, but returned unsatisfied, as he had loft for Sweden. Peter A. Johnson, the plaintiff, then brought an action against tbe sureties, and tho case waa tried In equity before JuBtlce Pratt, aud a verdict of $520.40 rendered. Execution waa lssuod in New York County and returned unsatisfied.

The defendant's appeal waa on the ground that the execution against Anderson was issued in Wcatchestor County, and they claim that the action would not he. Counsel for the plaintiff hold that the undertaking fixed the residence of the defendant and Buretles in the original action In Morrisania, but transcripts were filed and oxocutlons issued in both counties. ASSESSMENT OASES. In the matter of the petition of John H. Cooper, respondent, vs.

The City of Brooklyn, appollant. John T. Barnard for the respondent Wm. O. DoWitt for tho appollant.

This case was submitted without arflumen The action was bruuu to vamto an asaessment for opening Stuyvesant avenue. The petition was granted and tho city appeals. Decision reserved. The People of the State of New York at the relation of Samuel Ackerly et al. against tho City of Brooklyn.

T. F. Noville for the relatora and appellants; Wm. C. DoWitt for the defendants and respondent.

In this caso an application waa made for a writ of certiorari to Bet aside an assessment for grading and paving Orchard street. Tho assessment was confirmed Maroh 1, 1875. In August, 1876, counsel applied to Judge, Pratt for a writ of certiorari to review tho asBefiBment; The writ was granted, aud the order appealed from to tho Gen oral Term, and at tho eame time the cause was act down for trial. The case oame up at Speoial Torm bofore Judge Dykman, and he quashed the writ, on the ground of discretion only, admitting, in his opinion, thai tbo assessment was unconstitutional. The sppollania held that the Court had no right to quash the writ, and that tbe discretion was oxprcBSed whon the writ was granted.

Tho respondents held that the writ of certiorari could not isauo in proceedings of a purely logiolatlve or exocutivo character, and that the granting or sustaining of tho writ wb adverse to public polioy. Counsel for the respondent also held that the relator was guilty of laclte in not moving bofore in tbe case. William A. Guest, respondent, against the City ot Brooklyn, William Mayo Little, as Registrar ol Ar reara of the City of Brooklyn, and Goorife W. Sfahoncy.

John J. Townsend for respondents John H. Knaebel for the appellants. This Is an appeal taken from a Judgment of tho Supremo Court, filed January 15, 1876. Tho case was tried bofore Richard Ingraham as reforoe, and ho made a report in favor of aetting aside the assessment, and a sale of the land, had for the non payment of taxea, and including an installment of assessments.

The city was also en joined from collecting the tax. The complaint in tho aotion alloged that the plaintiff was the owner of a lot of land in the Ninth Ward, one half of which was within and tho otbor half without tho district upon which assessment was levied. The assessment was for tbo Third Btreet improvement. The amount of the assessment was $4,854.35, of whloh amount ono twentieth was collectable annually. The tax on the lot for tbe yoar 1871 was $234.89, aside for the Installment for assessment, whloh was $267.11.

Tho assesament roll for the year 1871 was nover veriflad. It was held by the respondents that the improvement was unconstitutional, and othowtso illegal because of errors of legislation. The apportionment named' above was also claimed to bo illegal. It is further alloged that because of tho plaintiff's failure to pay the sum of $552.73, the lot was sold and purchased by the defendaut Mahoney, although the collector's power to sell had been stopped, and transferred to. tho Registrar of Arrears.

Tho complaint ssked thst upon payment of tbe sum of $281.84, the tax of 1871, that tho tax of $267.11 and tho sale thereof be canceled, the apportionment declared void, and the defendants enjoined from collecting tho assessment. The referee decided in favor of the plaintiff. The appellants claim that if the acts relating to the Third streot improvement aud the proceedings of the Commissioners and Board of Assessors wero unconstitutional and invalid tuo Court, as a Court of Equity, has no Jurisdiction, or at least will decline jurisdiction to grant tho relief prayed for in the oompiaint. The city has no more right to collect the $284.89 than the whole amount. If conscience required the plaintiff to tender the last named aum It also roqulred him to tender at least a substantial part of the large sum that had been expended through a long coucso of years.

It docs not appear tbat the Assessors apportioned any port of the cost of the improvement on that part of the lot which lies beyond the distriot ot aasesBment. The proceedings prior to 1869 are alaoclaimed to be valid. Tbe Court took the papers. The Knickerbocker Life Insurance Company, re spondents, against George W. Nelson, tf al, appellants.

Johnson b. Cantlne for the respondents, Morris Pear sall for the appellants. In this esse tne plaintiffs and respondents sue to recover $20,000 ax an indemnity bond iseuod upon a mortgage upon, property in South Brooklyn for $70,000. By the bond the defendant agreed that if upon tbe foreclosure, of the mortgage and Bale of the property, it did not bring the faoe of the mortgage, the indemnitor would pay the The foreclosure waa contested upon the ground of fraud. Decision reserved.

THE MOOLTON BXBOHEB OASS wBLprobably come up thia evening for argument. The causa attracts considerable attention here, and the ar gument will be listened to with much interest. Several Brooklyn caaea remain to be argued to morrow. ADMITTED TO THE BAB, The following candidates from Kings County were examined and admitted to the bar O. H.

and hurriedly sought safety In flight. Outside on tha streetwslka and within the spacious tent wan hundreds of people. They fortunately were unaware of the cause of tha animals' excitement and unconscious of the terrible soeno whloh waa transpiring outside of tha main tent. During all the excitement but a few people outside of those who were engaged in tbe terrifio struggle for mastery with the enraged beasts, gar heed to the noise which resounded and echoed about the plaoe. They sat laughing aud chatting, anticipating and x.

peering the pleasures in store for then. As the performers and men fled in terror from the van and dressing rooma, Bowles, the man who had burn placed in guard of the cages by Professor Lcason, ran breathless Into tha tent, anxiously Inquiring the eaaaM of tho disturbance. On being informed that tbe animals had broken from their a.na he aelsed a pole and dashed through tho opening in the tent. Scarcely had bo crossed ono ot the boxes blooksdlng the passage when one of the female performers ruahed toward him PURSUED BT A WOK, the most powerful aud ferocious in tho collection the one known aa "Parker," the monster whloh killed hia keeper, Thomas JeMs, in Aatley'a Theatre, London. The woman, pale with fright, rushed into the man's arms.

She was almost naked, her clothing having been torn from her baok. This lady at the time of the escape of tho lion from his cage waa engaged dressing herself in a riding habit, which she wears in the first aot of the entertainment. On hearing the oraah of the bars broken by tbe terrified beast, ahe turned and essayed to pass under the canvass dividing her apartment from tbat in whloh tho male performers were asaemblod. As sho stooped the animal sprang on her. The long, sweeping trail of dress saved her from injury.

Bowles, as the woman aprang toward him, seised and threw her over one of the largo dressing oases, at the same time by a dexterous movement bounding himself to one side, escaping from THB INFURIATED BEAST. The animal, encumbered by the woman's dress and the torn sad tattered shreds of the oanrass partition, was unable to follow Bowles. Turning about he dashed furiously toward the menagerie, ran, encountering in hia passage one of the performing dogs, Patty, Quick as a flaau the lion aelsed the dog in hla Jaw and with a Bnap bit it almost in two. Seemingly satisfied with his victim the lion crouohed to the ground and began playing with the caroaas, uttering low growls aa be tossed the body to and fro. In the meantime the porformers and tent mon had oolleotod about the van and tent in whloh the animals were confined.

They were armed with sticks, poles and clubs. A numbor of them stood on guard at tha double board partition loading to the main tent prepared to prevent the animal's advance in that direction. At this Juncture Professor Losion arrived and coolly deploying his men, BEGAN THE ASSAUI.T on the lion. Entering tho enclosure In vfhich'the monster was crouchod toying with the dead dog he directed hiB men to Jom in a circle about tho beast. Then snapping bis whip ho shoutod, and stamping his foot pointed toward tho managorle van.

Tho lion growled and with bristling main glared on tho Professor. Without for an instant takiug his eye from the beast ho struck it a severe blow serosa the face. It bowled and begau its retreat. 81owly tho Professor advanced, slashing and beating the animal with tho whip, while hia men urged its backward march with tho poles and sticks. Having reached the oage the lion refused to ascend the board leading to tho den.

By a few well directed blows, ono of which it was afterward ascertained bad injured tho animal's leg to lameness, aud gashed the tall, tbe beast was forced Into his don snd seouroly astoned. To the reporter, who during this struggle was one of the unconscious throng In the performing toot, Profes eor Losbou, in answer to questions bearing on tho escape of tbe lion from his cago, said "Parker.I've noticed, has been restless for somo past; ho has boen annoyed by one of lho lionowoa caged in the apartment adjoining the ono ho occupies The lion in that don at the other side of Parker, is tha famous black maue animal, Candu botween these two there is a Jealousy which I am conquering, "PARKER" IN HIS ANOER has bounded and struck against the bars of his den until ho has loosenod them lu thoir sockets.

"Parkor" from tho tlmo his first roar and the crash of tbe bars announced his break lrom the cago, until his return, was at liberty scarcely five minutes.

There 1b the lady now, Boated on her horse going out to porform in tho first aot" Bidding tho reportor adieu tho Professor engaged himself with hia men, fixing up and arranging tho furniture aud effects which tho Hon had overturned aud wrecked. From one of tbo proprietors of tho circus, Mr. Cashing, the following history of tho lion "Parker" waa obtained.

parker's bistort. The Hon which escaped from hia cage haa boen familiarly known in this and Europoan conntrios sb "old Parkor," and la a fine specimen of hu speoies. Ho was captured when apparently about four yoars old in Africa, and brought to London, and for aome time waa part and parcel of the menagerio attaohed to Aslley's Ampltheatre, in that city. It waa whilo performing in thia theatre that "Old Parker" killed his keeper, Thomas Jarvts. Mr.

Jarvls was discovered doad one morning in tho theatre, and the lion lying over the oorpso, toying with it like a cat with a moueo it had Just killed, and whon approachod for the purpose of removing tho body, growled and mado a aprlng at tho ono nearest to him. Ho waa afterward brought to this country by a Mr. Crockett, aud was purchased by Messrs. Howes It, Otuhlngs, who aftor considerable difficulty at last succeeded in procuring Prof. Lawson, a man well known as a fearless Hon lamer, and the only one who could be induced to onter tho oage with this feroolous beast.

Ho has now gotten tho formor wild animal completely under control, ao muoh bo, that tbe animal obeys the slightest word of tho Professor, and, indeed, almost fawnB upon bfm, obeying him, in tbe language of Mr. Cushing, "bettor than a child oommands of its fathor."

How He lias Acted Since Where He has Been for the Last Fire Years His Own Statement to an Eagle Beporter. John Hallienen, who killed "William Bussell in June, 1871, at the tobaooo inspection, Barber's stores, foot of Dock atreet, was brought to this dty by a San Franoia oo detective at eight o'clook this morning, and taken at oniw tn Pnllm WAftdnnarto A. .1 i iua uiua Superintendent Campbell discovered that Hallienen was in San Frandsoo, and notified Chief of Police Ellis of tbat dty to that effect, the Kaolx published the fact, and also gave a fall resume of the xonrder. Hallienen was a foreman at Berber'a stores, and had oharge of a gang of men. Bussell, the murdered man, was working in another gang, and went to a bucket containing iced oatmeal water to get a drink.

Tha water belonged to Halllenen'a gang, and the latter told BnUAlt tint ta tonah It VtnM.li i 1. out of It, and while he was so doing, Hallienen seized a heavy hogshead stave, and aiming a blow with both bands at Kussell's head, deft his skull open. These are briefly the facta of the murder. Hallienen who was commonly called Halloran made his escape from this dty, and has, not alnce been heard of until the early part of last week, when he was arrested In San Tranclaco by a policeman of that dty. Superintendent Campbell was at once notified of this fact, and ha made an application through the Board of Police Commissioners to the Mayor for $500 to pay the fare of the nollnnman anrl nMinnnr tn thia Mtv rThn J.

lngton street Police Station for safe keeping, and as soon ss Superintendent Campbell arrived at his offioe, Detective Folk wont to the station house and brought him to Headquarters again. The San Francisco policeman and Hallienen were closeted with the Superintendent for some tlmo, after which Detective Folk took natuenen to tne pnoiograpucrs nave xus pioture taken. THE GOLDEN OITY POLICEMAN said he waa played out and wanted to take a rest, whereupon Detective Van Wagner conducted him to the Pierrepnt House, and there a reporter followed him within three or four minutes after his arrival at the hotel The reporter desired to get tbe facts of Hailienen'a arrest, and aent his card up to the policeman's room, and the answer came back that the Gulden City man was asleep. Probably he did not care to detail the facts of the arrest, for the simple reason. that he could not conscientiously claim any credit for it, as he acted as a mere automation under the direct aad explidt instructions of Superintendent Ca npbell of this dty, who telegraphed him even where Hallienen worked and resided in Bin Frauciaco.

Finally, the reporter wont to Superintendent Camp bell, and asked him if he could give the requisite in formation. "I guess bo," Bald tho Chief, modestly, "What do you want to know?" "Tbo oircumstances of tbe arrest in San Francisco." "Well, you've seen my telegram "No." "I Bent a telegram to Chief Ellis, of San Frandsco, Informing him that John HsllJesra was in that city, and was working as a car driver or conductor you know I have been probing this case to the bottom lately, and I fonnd tbat Hallienon had left Chicago to go to; San Francisco, ao when I notified Chief Ellis I was enabled to tell him just where the man waa working, where he lived and what I wanted him for, together with a full description of his personal appearance. Chief Ellis sent one of his men to the office of the Market street Railroad Company, and he found that there was a man named John Hallienen employed there; you know we hare supposed that his name was Hallo ran; thia man was sent for, and at first he said that he knew nothing of tho Russell caso, but at last he owned up and said that there was no use of his trying to oon ceal it any locger, that he was the man. That's how the rreBt was mtde." A TAXK WITH HALLIENEN. 8ftting in ono corner of the Superintendent's offlco was a slight built man, about five foet eight, with light hair and mustache and mild blue eyes.

The reportor could not help being surprised when be waa informed by Superintendent Campbell that that was Hallienen. The prisoner was neatly drsBed in a broadcloth coat and vest, and had on gray .1 He Is a singua lariy quiet looking man. the isBt person in the world almost that o.u'.d be suspected of bavin? committed such a crime. He is evidently a man of Borne edu cation, for he talked fluently and grammatically. seeing the report ira entering to oonverse with the Superintendent, he said he would like (o make a stato mcni to them.

A.ooriinglyhe went into tho Superinten dent's private room and there he commenced as follows "Well, gentlemen, I will tell you all I know of this case. It was in the Summer time that it happened, and we were working on the dock at the tobacoo inspection. We were In the habit of buying ice and meal to put into a pail of water for us to drink. The poor fellow Eussell did not bdong to the gang of men 1 waa lu, and one day some of our men went to the pall belonging to Russell's gng to get a drink and we were refused. Then, I said to the mon, 'We will have to got Ice for our own use, and we did, and I also gave orders that if any of the other mon came to get a drink from our pail that they BUSSELL OAMK TO DRINK at our pall.

I told him that hia gang had refused our men and that we would have to refuse him, and that he would have to pay for his own water. He Insisted on geting a drink.I never intended to hurt him, it was al done in an instant. After the affair took place washed Russoll off and staid with him for a little time. A doctor waa Bent for but he did not come. Then a carman (I forget bis name) came to me and said 'See here HalUonen this man will be all right in a little while, but you had better get away lor a while, or else they'll put you in Jail and give you a good deal of bother until he does got well' I then made up my mind to go and I did, and that afternoon I started for Chicago, I1L When I got there I found employment as a driver on thoWostern Division Bail road, and I Btaid there four years.

I've got recommendations to prove my oharaoter. They cut down wagea at Chicago, and I heard that wages were good In San Francisco, and I went tbore and got a job on the Market Btreet railroad, and was working there at the tlmo I was arrested." Reporter Then you didn't leave Chicago at the time to escape the police 7 Hallienen No, sir, I nover tried to got out of their way, and I wish I had been arrested before, only that my family wasn't provided for. Reporter Where is your family now Hallienen I bad two children, but I buried one about two years ago, and my wife and the other child are on their way here now from San Francisco. I want to say, too, that I did not know of Russell's death for fourteen months after it oocurred. You Bee, when I went to Chicago I couldn't send for my wife at first Ull I had saved up a little money.

When she did come which was about a year after I left Brooklyn, she found me laid up. I was sick for seven or eight weekB, and she told me of Russell's death when I got well. That was THE OTB8T TIME I HEABD HB WAS DEAD, and I waa nearly craxy; I didn't know what to do. Tho little money I had after paying my wife's expenses to Chicago was aU used up in paying dootor's bills, and when I waa at length fit for work I hadn't a cent. If I had had my family provided for I would have given myself up then.

Beporter Are thoy provided for now? Hallienen Well they ore but not as well asl could wisb. Reporter Did you ever change your name? Hallienen No, never I always went under my own name, but it Is rather a peculiar one, and moat people got to call me eilber Halloran or Holloran. There's another thing I would like to ssy, too, and that is that if I didnt want to come from San Francisco, I had plenty of rlenda to hdp me I had one or two lawyers who camo to me in prison there and wanted to get me out on a writ of habeas corpus, bur. I would not consent to anything of the kind. The Cbii of Pouce mere used me very good, too.

I never had a pair of handcuffs on but there was no need of it. The policemen wno orougn me on was sick on the train, and I tended him a good deal he is not a strong man by any moans, be is of rather a weak disposition. 1 hope you will never have oecaaion to write up such a thing again, gentlemen I can tell you tbat I feel bad enough about it. This man that's desi waa a friend of mine until this affair happened, and I wish I waa where he is now. I never had a quarrel with any one before, and WA8 NEVEB DBTJNK IK MX LIFE.

Hallienen stated that he was born in Ireland and waa thirty two years of age. He baa been in this country for several yeara. He showed to the Eagle reporter hiB two letters of recommendation ono was signed by J. K. Lake, the Superintendent of the Western Divi sion Railroad of Chicago, and which stated that Hallienen had been employed on the road for four years, and had always been a sober and Bteaay man.

ine ther was eigned by John T. O'Brien, the Assistant Su perintentent of the Market atreet Railroad Franoiaco, and it gave Hallienen an equally good oharaoter for honesty and sobriety. After he had got through talking to the reporter, he was taken to the Distriot Attorney's office by Detective Folk, and from there he was committed to the Raymond street Jail. He was arrested on a bench warrant issued by the Diatrict Attorney, on an indictment found against him by the Grand Jury shortly alter the killing of the man Russell. Hallienen aeams to have a arood many friends In tins dty quite a number called to see him at the Central Office this morning, and all of them speak very highly of him.

It Is not probable that he will be tried before the Fall, and if aueh turns out to be the case he will find bis confinement in the dose ceBs of the jail during; the Summer months very trying. The San Francisoo policeman, after ha has had hla sleep at the Pierrepont Honse, will probably start baok to "Frisco," but It seems tbat he Intends to take in Philadelphia and the Centennial on hia way baok, aa he informed Superintendent Campbell that he wanted to call on a few frienda there. For tome unaccountable reason he waa very anxious that, his name ahonld noi appear in the newspapers. AMERICA CONGREGATIONAL UNION.

They an making a pressure on Mr. Sohroeder, through their specially credited representatives, in all forms usual with citizens of Brooklyn who desire to impress their Chief Magistrate.

A Now Company In Process of OrganizationThe AJternatlTe Which is Offered the Union Company No Doubt of the Restoration of Communication Mr. Cjrns F. Smith in an Unhappy Frame of Mind He Declares that He Will Not Touch the Project A Statement of How the Matter Stands by ex Alderman Clancy. Sinoa the improvement of Bridge street by Turing, the residents of that long neglected thorough tee, together with molt of the onlerprleing and progressive property owners In the Fifth, Second and rourth wards have been earnestly endeavoring to secure a ferry by which thf cn gain access to Hew Tort without journeying by circuitous routes to the Unesot the Union and Eastern District companies. 'ftba sentlmont In favor of the resumption of tho ferry at the foot of the atreet hu been rapidly growing, until ill has at assumed definite form, and tho oitixena who have for ao lengthy a period been deprived of convenient meani of communicating with the Metropolis feare determined to take inch measures aa will urnlih them.

They hoped to saoure the co operation of the Union Ferry Company, but with a view to the possibility of failure in that direction they decided to prepare the way for constructing a line of their own, which would supply the needed transit. The suggestion of the Kaqlz, that tho wealthy Union Company should appropriate a portion of their enormous lnoome for the aasistanoe of the Bridge street people in their new enterprise, appears to meet with very little favor at the Lands of the venerable President of that corporation but, notwithstanding this fact, at will be seen from the Appended interviews, there seems no doubt of the re establishment of the ferry at tho foot of Bridge street, and a coniequont increase In the valuo of property along its line: What Cjtua P. Smtm Jln to Sny. With a view of obtaining the opinion of Mr. Cyrus P.

Smith, President of the Union Ferry Company, on the proposed re establishment of the ferry fcy that corporation, an Eaoli reporter this morning ventured into the office of the venerable gentleman, it if he foot of Fulton slreel. and in two minutes retired in ajood order with the following result Reporter (pleasantly) Mr. Smith, if convenient, I wsnld like to have a brief conversation with you on ferry matters, and Mr. Smith (promptly) Nothing to say, sir, nothing to say. Eeporter (persusiively) I suppose you read the editorial in last night's Exaix on the Bridge street Ferry and its proposed occupstion by your Company Mr.

Smith (sharply) Yes; but we don't want any of the affairs of the Union Ferry Company reported or published In the EidLK. Ibat'a all. Reporter (mildly) Well, Mr. Smith, of course I don't Intend to urge you to talk against your will; but do you think your Company will ever tako hold of the Bridge Itreet Ferry? Mr. Smith (decisively) Wouldn't touch It; wouldn't touch it at all.

Reporter (suavely) Under no circumstances 7 Mr. Bmlth (gruffly) No, sir No, sir No, sir 1 Reporter (calmly) But, Mr. Smith, supposing the people do Mr. Smith (emphatically) Makes no difference, sir. Nothing to say, sir.

Good morning, sir. Reporter (nervously) I only wish to inquire whether Mr. Smith (excitedly) You can't Inquire of me, sir. That's all, sir. Good day, sir.

An angry light flashed into the venerable President's eye and he advanced toward tho reporter, who unwillingly bade him adieu and witbdrow from his presence. A Talk Willi Ex AIUorinn Clancy. Tho reporter obtained tho following statement from ei Alderman John M. Clancy, concerning the need of a ferry and tho steps that have been taken toward securing one "For some years past I havo seen the necessity of the ferry, and laborod very hard, with tho idoa of getting the street pared with granite. Previous to the discon tinusnoo of ttio ferry I tried to get It repaired, but filled of obtaining any relief.

When tho charter of 3 873 passed it gave tho Common Council power to authorize the paving ol streets on potltlon of property owners, aud then further efforts wore made. After a long contest and much stubborn opposition on the part of Mr. Howe, Mr. Lynch and some other non progrea eivo men, we finally succeeded in rcpaving the stroet. When the work of putting down the pavement was completed, I bad several interviews with Mr.

George Law and his directors and endeavored to induce him to operate a ferry in this section. The Board of Dlreotors, after considering the matter several weeks, concluded not to open the ferry. Their reason, as given at tho time, was that tbey were about to re open the Grand street Ferry, in consequence of a special act of the Legislature giving them the right to purchaso the slip in Now York, which they needed to run their lino. Tho reason givon by the old Company for withdrawing their boats from the Bridge street route was that from the almost impassablo condition of the Btiect, it was impossible for vehicles to get through. Hundreds of business men withdrew their patronage because of the condition of the approaches to it." THE EFFECT OF CLOSING THE JTERBI.

xtoporter What has been the effect of tho close of be ferry on real ostato 1 Mr. Clancy Property in the Fifth and Second, Fourth and Elovcnlh Wards, has depreciated very much in consequence, owing to the inconvenience of reaching Few York. People are obliged to go to Catha rlno and Fulton ferries to get to New York, when this would be much the nearest way. Owing to this fact, landlords experience great difficulty in letting their premises, and aa a matter of course, I depreciation of their valuo follows. Reporter Do you think that a company running the ferry would receive sufficient support from the peoplo to pay the running expenses Mr.

Clancy My opinion Is that it would not only pay all the oxpenses, but would afford a fair profit to tho proprietora. and I can aay that myself, with a number of other gentlemen, Intend to organize a new company during tho preaent month. A NEW COMPANY TO BE ORGANIZED. Reporter Who will comprise the new company 7 Mr. Clanoy I do not care to make the namea public Jnst at present.

It is sufficient to say that they are aU gentlemen well known in tho cities of Brooklyn and Now York. Mr. Rlohard PolUon, tho shipbuilder, who has a largo yard at the foot of this Btreet and one at Qreenpolnt, will probably be the president. The men who are going into the Company mean business, and will fit up a first el us line. We are not ferrymen and would much rather the Union Company should tako tho route and run it.

If they do not choose to operato It, we will. Our only object is to benefit the public and roatore communication. I havo had interviews with members of the Union Ferry Company Board of Directors, on the matter one of them stated that they were making print so much larger than the ton per cent, dividend allowed them by law, that the operation of the Bridge troet Ferry by them would not offeot the dividend in the slightest degree. 1 think it VB1 UNKIND OF MB. SMITH to say his Company wlU not accommodate the people when they are taking ao much from the peoplo and after the people have made the Company what it is.

I am aurprlaed at the obstinacy of Mr. Smith and his refusal to accommodate the public. If the Union Com pany do not give tho people a ferry, the new Company wilL The residents Bna property owners this section of the city demand it and will contribute largely toward it. A farmer liv ing in Grsveaend, who owns much real ostato on Bridge atreet, wiU be one of the in corporators of a new company, and will take $35,000 worth of stock. He has fortune of half a million, and was for years a resident of the Fifth Ward.

Other capitalists will contribute, and we will certainly have a ferry. When the company fairly organizes a public meetlug will be held. Reporter You think, then, that the ferry will pay afjer It Is resumed 1 Mr. Clanoy There la no doubt of it. Look at THH ADVANTAGES IT PBEBZNTB.

It will be useful in reaching too east Bide of New York to the oltizens, and all working people who are called there dally. The nearest route for farmers to get to Washington Market will be over tbls ferry. Ail the roada leading to it are pared with granite. Whether the farmers come in by either Tulton atreet or Myrtle avenue they can drive over this emooth pavement, and when they are across the ferry they will have a very little dlstanoe to go. People coming from New York can drive over improved pavements and roada all tho way from their homes to the seaside, and those who want to get to the New York or Brooklyn City Halls can do so easily.

There is another ft that I would like to state; we hope, if the company da organized and it will be uuloss tho Union Company open the ferry to run boats into Burling Slip on the Mew York side, for the convenience of people doing lousiness down town. MOULTON BEECHER. Argument in General Term Othar Cases Before the Court. Special to the Eagle. FouaHuirsii, Hay 12.

In the Sunday School Hall of St. John's M. Church, Bedford avenue, a descriptive leotnre waa Tt.v nr. Hanrr W. Warren, last evening.

That subject waa a Trip to was Illustrated with fifty stereopucon tertainment was varied with organ recitals by Professor Koran, and singing by the boy choir. Temple of the Mnsea has been done. It captivates by Its dellgbtfulness, charms by its rest fulness, and satisfies by Its completeness, in essential features the garden remains almost Identical with its former arrangement, but Improvement is visible everywhere, and the ohangesln each instance are grateful and effective. It waa in the glsmonr of these aorround ings that M. Offenbach, at half past eight o'clock last evening, received his first impressions of an American andieztoe, and they ol him.

At tbat moment, it may be truly said, the bond of sympathy whloh had bound our publio and the muslo of the man together waa transferred to the man himself. This certainly was the fact before she first hall dozen measures of the overture whloh opened the concert had been played. M. Offenbach, however much we may be disposed to reprehend him for the harm he has done in making vloe fascinating, compels our admiration for the easy grace, the naturalness and the enthusiasm with which he enters upon his work. The almost childlike abandonment with which he gives himself up to the piquant sentiment of hla compositions Is infinitely charming.

He conducts with his whole body, neither awkwardly nor yet gracefully. In person he is not impressive, but his countenance baa a characterlstio way of lighting up which gives an insight into the temperament, the disposition, the inner workings of tbe brain from whloh has proceeded so great a multitude of reokleas, frolicsome melodies, and created a rentable school of Its own. Last evening preaented M. Offenbach in a higher light than we have been wont to regard him. The programme was made up of twelve selections, all of them his own compositions, and several of them entirely new to thia community.

Tho opening overture, "Vert Vert," "Au Tour a' Orphee," "March Beligieuse," the ballet music from "Le Rol Garotte" and "Offenbaoh lana" were conducted by the composer, the remaining numbers by M. Marius Boullard. The audience testified its pleasure by enthusiastic plaudits. It cheered M. Offenbach, insisted upon the repetition of the "Orphee" number, and called again and again for the "Offenbachiani," which closed the concert.

The orchestra contained one hundred and two lnstrnmontallatB. Its performance was by no means indifferent, but we anticipate hearing it accomplish much better results when it shall have become more thoroughly settled to its work. The Offenbach season comprises twenty concerts, to be given nightly, including Sundays. ATTEUiTED SUICIDE. A Tounir Ulan Who Preferred Bleeding to Death to Parting; with bis Joardlnp; fHlsyfresai Considered Insane, Without Doubt.

Yesterday afternoon, a young man named John S. Davis, who boarded at the house oft Mr, Coouey, in Lexington avenue, botween Marcy and Tompkins avenues, attempted suicide by outting the veins of his arm with a razor, expecting thereby to bleed to death. The circumstances which led to the foolish act axe somewhat peouliar, aa being connected with the alleged relations of Davis toward Cooney's wife. It is not stated that any criminal intimacy existed between them, but, although ahe is much older than her boarder, sho seems to hare manifested more concern for his comfort than for tbat of her husband. SThis conduct mBde Mr, Cooney Jealous, and on several occasions serious rows took place in the household, in consequence.

Wodnosday morning some acts of a nature especially displeaalng to Mr. Coouey, took ploco and a wrangle ensued that waxed hot and furious, at length bringing the parties to blows. Cooney peremptorily ordered Davis to leave tbe house, and Davis, who has for a long time boarded with tho family, esteeming himself posseeaed of what tbe lawyera (would call privileges of pre emption, as positively refused Ito do so. In this exigency, the indignant Mr. Cooney sought the aid ot Justice Semler, and made a charge against Davla for assault aud Before Da vis had been arrosted, however, he became aprixed of Cooney'e proceeding, and in a fit of despondency is said, by the prospect of being cast out of hie boarding house and becoming deprived of his landlady's smiles, he took the razor and cut his throat with the deliberate design of ending bis existence.

Ho was arrested by Officer Wllltam Mills, of the Ninth Precinct, who had bis wound dressed by a Burgeon, and who appeared with him, this morning, in Justice Soulier's Court. His Honor, after listening to the particulars of the case, remanded him to Jail whon, if bis mind should be affooted. Dr. Shepard will have him sent to the Asylum at Flatbush. DANCING ON THE GREEN.

The Fete of the Forty SoTenlh Regiment fjneit IVignt. The novelty of a promenade and dance in the open air, upon the sward, was indulged in last night by members of the Forty seventh Regiment and about a thousand other persons, at the Union GroundB. Whether for profit or otherwise, this entertainment had been arranged in the hope that the fund to aid in defraying the expenses of the trip to Philadelphia, in July, would be largely enhanced. As to the pecuniary 1 ti" nun covered, a fact due to previous postponement and rains, and the very cool state of the atmosphere. ABide from theao drawbacks tbe affair was an enjoyable one to most persons present.

In about a month from now a similar event will probably take place under the same auspices. The command effected a formation at the armory shortly after eight o'clock, and on reaching the street showed eight companies of twelve files in the ranks. Colonel Auston was in command on this oocasion. Tho scene of festivity was arrived at about nine o'clock, and from tbat until after one o'clock this morning dancing was to a large extent engaged in by the company present. Many srdent devotees of the Terpsicho rcan art were noticed a3 non participants in the round dances, which was owing in most instanoes to a fear of slipping on tho treacherous grass.

No such incident occurred to those who took tho risk, howovor. Of tho many spectators in attendance there were noticed General Catlln, Colonel Reuger, Colonel Stegman, Colonel Obernler, Colonel Ward, Supervisors Eger and Vcaton, ex Justioo Z. Voorhies, Captains Honry Oster man, Wm. Heerdt, Noah L. Oooheu and J.

SPORTS AISD PASTIMES. Base Ball. The Pbofessional The Mutuals yesterday sustained their third defeat at tho hands of tbe Athletic Club, out of four games played.

They lost the match through inferior fielding as they led in the score of bass hits, and made the only corned runa of tho game.

A bad throw by HickB in tbe third assisted them to an unearned run, and errors by HaUinan and Treacy, and more bad throwing by HicVs, gave three runs in the sixth inning, errors by Nichol6 again giving a single run in tbe eighth inning. On tbe other Bide a dropped fly ball by Hall lot in ono run in the fourth inning, none being earnod on that inning, and errors by Meyerle and Sntton gave another run.
