in which event the county will receive a handsome premium. Tho snm of $92,458.83, which figures in the amount by which' tlie debt will bo reduced, has been paid into the county treasury by such of tho owners of Ocean Parkway property as have been able to avail themselves of tho law passed a year ago, spreading upon the city at largo two thirds of tho assessment. Tne fee on the State tax, $2,000, is an item which in othor comities in the State is a perquisite of the treasurer. In nearly all of the other counties the treasurer is paid by fees, and this is the sum which Mr. Schenck would have received under the State law had ho not been a salaried official.

The chairman of the committee on accounts of County Treasurer is Super visor Atwater. Ho and his colleagues on the committee and Mayor Low have made a very exhaustive examination of the affairs of Mr. Schenck's office. They are entirely satisfied that no department of the city or county government is more capably or honestly administered. THIEVES CUTTIXG OUT WOltK FOR THE POLICE.

THE PROFITS OF BREWING, As Shown in Suit for the Recovery of 600,000. John P. Betz, of the firm of Banr Betz, the well known brewers of New York City, has begun an action in the Supreme Court against William C. Bauer, his former partner, Henry Daily, George W. Moore and John M.

Littell. The suit is for fraud and deceit, and is brought to recover damages for the conversion of property fraudulently misappropriated. The firm of Bauer Beta continued business until January 9, 1883, when the copartnership was dissolved Mr. Betz took no active part in the management of the business, which was intrusted solely to Mr, Baur.

Betz charges that Banr, with the intent of defrauding him, borrowed money upon the credit of tho firm, and appropriated the same to his own use. It is also alleged that there was an unlawful conspiracy or combination between the defendants, Baur and Daily, by which it was intended to defraud Mr. Betz. The amount involved is about $90,000. WHAT GENERAL JOURDAN HAS TO SAT.

Claiming He is Not Responsible for the management of the District Attorney's Office. An Eaole reporter 8aw General Jourdan this morning relative to those cases in which the police have made arrests, and which have never been called for trial by the District Attorney. "I am at a loss to account for the fact," said General Jourdan, "and all I know is what I have embodied in my annual report for 1832. It is true that these arrests were made and that our records show the facts to be as presented but why tho cases navo not come to trial I am unable to state," "But, General, think the District Attorney's office is remiss in this matter 7" "About that I havo nothing to say; the District Attorney is not responsible to mo in any way, and I cannot state how it iB that these cases have not come to trial. I presume that had they been called our officers would have been notified.

You will excuse me saying anything further, as my meaning might be mlscoastraed. There is one thing certain, the Police Department has done its dnty, and is not amenable in any sense, oven to ceusuro." LIQUOR DEALERS IN TROUBLE.

Byrne Cuts his Throat After a Protracted Spree, and a Weapon Called the "Conqueror" Ends the Life of an East New York Horist. Dnuiul C. Ifymc, son of Daniel C. Byrne, the well known importer of wines and liquors of No. 85 Pearl street, Now York, cut his throat last night at his residence, No.

38 Garden placo, aud died this morning from ths effects of the wound. Deceased was 36 years of age aud unmarried. Ho lived with his father and stepmother, aud until a few months ago was employed a3 salesman fn a wholesale tobacco establishment fn New York. His death by his own hand will occasion a great shock to all with whom he was acquainted and who knew him as a man of an unusually cheerful disposition. The shocking occurrence is diretly traceable to mental derangement resulting from a protracted spree.

He returned to his home at about 9 o'clock last night after an absence of nearly threo weeks, during which timo he had not communicated with his family. His father, however, had heard of him from timo to time, and had every reason to bclicvo that ho was having an extra social time with some of his boon companions. He knew from past experience that there was nothing for him to do but let him have his spree out, feeling satisfied that sooner or later ho would return home, when ready money or strength or both were exiausted. When ho entered tho houso last night ho WENT DIRECTLY TO HIS ROOM on tho fourth floor, passing the parlor, in which somo members of tho family were sitting, without saying a word. John Byrne, his half brother, who saw him pass, followed him up to his room, no says he was ovideutly suffcriug from tho effects of liquor, although ho was not what could be styled drunk, and that ho waa much excited.

Ho spoke pleasantly to him, saying that ho wanted a good rest, and that ho would bo all right in a few days. Daniel, he says, seemed to be very much annoyed about Romcthiug, and acted iu a manner very unusual with him, even when under tho iufluenco of liquor. Hia eyes rolled wildly, aud oven tho tones of his voice scorned to havo changed. John left him about half past nine o'clock, and in an hour afterward, when he was going to hie own room, which is on the samo floor, ho hurried to his brother's room, having heard a peculiar gurgling sound, which alarmed him. He had no sooner entered the room than his brother exclaimed "I have cut my throat." At first he could not believe that such was the case, hut on approaching the chair on which hia brother was sitting ho was horrified to see the blood pouring from a gash iu his throat.

An open rfzor, tho blade of which was covered with blood, was on a small tablo by his Bide. The young mau promptly notified tho family, and in a few minutes Drs. Regur, Bunker and Bushmorc were at tho house. The physicians found that tho wound although deep and extending along the lower portion of tho nock for a distanco of flvo or six Inchcfl, was not necessarily fatal. The wound was sewed up and tho doctors left at midnight, fully confident that tho young man would survive.

Interna heinorhage, however, set in early this morning and ho died at 6 o'clock, Coroner Keller waa notified aud will hold au inquest to morrow. Much sympathy is felt for the family in their sad luTHction. Suicide al East Now York. AtlolpVms G. Burgess, a florist well kno wn throughout Long Island, who has resided in East New York for the past twenty six years, was found dying in his bed this morning from a self inflicted pistol wound Juat behind the right ear.

He has lived for some lime with four of his youngest children in their residence ou Bushwick avenue, just at the head of tho old entrance to Evergreens Cemetery. His flvo other children are cither married or living iu this city iu busincsB for themselves. Twelve years ago his first wifo, by whom ho had nearly all of his children, died and was buriod in the Evergreens Cemetery. Sinco then ho has been married twice, but not very happily. Ho has bceu at work in tho cemetery for the past week, decorating plots and also superintending the removal of several bodies to Woodlawn.

His occupation soems to havo mado him very gloomy, and yesterday, which was the twelfth anniversary of his first wife's death, he was suffering from nscvere fit of blues, and spoko ft number of times about Ills loss. Ho has not been very prosperous financially lately, and this may have tended to increase bis melancholy. Generally ho i. was of a very lively disposition, hut, like such peoplo, he frequently became downcast, so that his children never thought about iu any other way than a mood which wauld soon pass away, Thoy never for moment dreamed that he would commit suicide. At ten o'clock last night tlie family retired.

The deceased slept on the first floor, and the children up stairs. He bid them an affectionate good night, and retired as usual. Nothing was heard by tho children of any unusual noise until one of tne boys, coming down stairs at a littlo after fivo o'clock this morning, heard his father groaning. He eulered tho bedroom, and was shocked to find him lying in his bid unconscious a small six barrelled pistol called the conqueror lying by Iuh side with one of tho barrels empty. A tiny current of blood trickled down his neck showing that ho had shot himself.

Tho rest of the children were awakened, and Dr. llcckert was sent for. lie pronounced the wound fatal. Mr. Durws lived until shortly after seven o'clock.

Tho police wore not notified until ten o'clock. The deceased was (12 years of age. Ho was a very lino landscape gardener and "floriBt, and at one time was working for Hurry Hill, at Flushing. Most of his timo was devoted to cemetery decorations. Ths coroner has been notified to hold an inquest.

That the nuicid was premeditated is shown by tho fact that he left notes for each of his children aud his brother, giving directions about tlie. disposal of his property, and bidding them each a tender farewell. He did not assigu any cause for the rash act. ARRANGEMENTS FOR MEMORIAL DAY. Expected Parade ol the Second Division, the (1.

A serious accident happened this morning in Groenpoint by the caving in of a sower drain, which resulted in the death of George Hughes, and slight injuries to George Hayes. These two men were engaged at No. 385 Manhattan avenue in making a sewer connection from tho house to tho main pipes. They dug down about seven feet when, without any warning whatever, the earth caved in and buried both men in the ditch. This happened about eleven o'clock.

Several workmen in the vicinity saw the accident and rushed to the scene of tho disaster. In a few momenta Hayes was rescued. His companion Hughes, unfortunately, was completely covared by the earth, and it was nearly two hours before his bis body was recovered. Life was entirely extinct. His mangled remains were taken to his home, corner of India street and Oakland avenue, where they were received by a grief Btrlckon wife and children.

Hayes, whose injuries wero not of a serious nature, was taken in an ambnlanco to bis home, No. 149 North Fourth street. There was great excitement in the vicinity of the accident, a large crowd being gathered about tho place. is thought that the workmen did not tako proper pre cautions to prevent the caring in of the banks; The matter will be investigated at the inquest, which Coro ner Parker will hold. TO BE SOLD.

The Fleet of Rock away Steamboats. A Difference of Opinion in the Board of Management "What Mr. R. Cornell White has to Say The Fare too tow for Profit. In consequence of a diversity of opinion with regard to the management of the Columbia Steam Navigation Company, the steamboats Columbia, Grand Republic, Amcrieus, Adelphl, City of Norwalk and P.

F. composing the fleet of the company and ply ing between Now York City, Rockaway Beach and Nor walk, will bo sold on the 28th instant, at the Exchange Salesrooms No. Ill Broad way, Now York, under foreclosure of a mortgage. Tho Columbia Steam Navigation Company, Mr. CorneU White, president, issued in August, 1878, two hundred bonds of $1,000 each, for tho purposo of meeting the iudebtedness incurred by tho building of the Grand Republic.

These bonds were secured by a mortgago executed to John Englis, and John E. Hoffmiro, as trustees, on the boats of the corporation, Tho bonds were made for twenty years, at Bevcn per cent, interest, payable semi annually. The interest due in August last was partly paid and Binco that time thore havo been a number of meetings of tho Board of Directors of the company. The result of these meetings was the conclusion that it would be better to permit the foreclosure of the mortgage aud thus practically give an opportunity for a ro orgauization. 1 There are two syndicates, one of which is headed by Mr.

R. Cornell White, in the field for the purchase of the boats. Mr. White, who was called on at his office, No. 110 South Btreet, New York, by an Eagle reporter, refused to say anything further than that the company had met its current expenses during tho past Summer, and that the boats would certainly continue their trips to Rockaway during the coming excursion season.

He added, however, that the rates of fare thirty cents for tho ronud trip was entirely inadequate for tho maintenance of a profitable business, for tho reason that it was less than a half cent a mile. REDUCTION OF FARE A MISTAKE. This reduction had been made as an experiment, aud tho mistake was discovered almost as soon as the chango was adopted. But having practically openod the season at that rate, it was impossible for. the management to make any alteration without creating dissatisfaction.

The fare this year will be 50 cents, which is tho lowest' charge that can be made with justice both to tho com pany aud the passenger. Mr. White was asked if he would explain whether there was any truth in the statement that there serious differencca.o opinion between two parties in the Board of Trustees, and replied that he would not, as the entire matter was in the na turo of a dissolution of copartnership; and taking this view into consideration it would, iu his opinion, bo manifestly improper for him to say anything until the question was definitely settled. ANOTHER SMALLPOX CASE. A Night Watchman Keinoved to the Flatbittih Hospital.

William Lewis, the night watchman on tho brigantino Levantine, was this morning found to bo suffering from smallpox aud was promptly removed to the hospital at Flatbush. He lived at No. 41 Bridge street, where, it will be remembered, there was a concealed fatal case of tho same disease. There iB no doubt tho man contracted the disease iu tho house. Tho symptoms first manifested themselves last Tuesday, and ou Friday the eruption appeared, but for twenty four hours after that Lewis continued fo watch the vessel.

Health Commissioner Raymond notified tho New York authorities of the matter, as the vessel is lying on that side of tho river. A DRESSED BEEP BOOM. Cattle to be Slaughtered Along tlie Line of the Northern Pacific Kailroatl. St. Paul, April 10.

Afildavits aud Reports Which Seem to Dis prove the Correctness of the AUeeations Made at Albany Mayor low Upholds the Commissioners. Mayor Low Las been investigating ft num ber of cases in which the Exsiso Commissioners have refused to grant licenses, for the purposo of ascertaining whether the action of thoie officials was based on good judgment and right. In i ne ease he gave a hear ing to tho parties interested. It was tho only one in which a hearing was requested. ThiB was tho case of Peter Behrens, who mode application for a Iiccnso for a saloon at the corner of Atlantic and Franklin avenues.

Behrens is one of the parties whose affidavits were submitted by Counselors Barrett and Wernberg to the Senate Committee ou Cities, at tho hearing recently given at Albauy, on the Kiernan Exciso bill. In his affidavit he swore, among other things, that "he rented the premises where he now resides on last November, taking a lease thereof for five years, at a total rental of $5,600 for the whole term. That he expended upward of (2,000 fitting said premises for hotel purposes in order to comply with the Excise laws. That there is but one other place in said neighborhood, located on the opposite corner. That ho called at the office of the Clerk of the Board of Excise and requested leave to make application for a license to keep a hotel, but was refused the right to make such application.

"That afterward, through the interference of a political friend, ho was pormitted to make application. That thereafter his application for a license was refused and Commissioner Lauer informed him that ho would not grant a license for said place from then until doomsday, aud that it was no use to come back any more. That deponent afterward met Commissioners Lauer aud Evans in a lager beer saloon, and in conversation with them they both said that they had promised not to grant a license for that place and thoy could not do it. That if deponent could get another place in some other location they would givo him a license. Deponent further says that it is common rumor in the neighborhood of deponent's place that ono Louis Graf, who keeps a saloon on tho opposite corner, offered ou several occasions to bet $500 that deponent could not get a license, that it is now four months since he was ready to open hiB house, that every dollar ho has in tho world ie invested there, tliafr he has no knowledge of any other business to support his family and unless he gets relief he will be ruined financially." J.

J. Drake, tho landlord of Behrens, asked tho Mayor for the hearing. Commissioners Lauer and Evans were present. Also representatives of the property owners and residents of the neighborhood who protested against the granting of a license. The action of the Commissioners was based upon this protest, which was a very strong one, aud upon the further fact that there being already one saloon in that immediate neighborhood, there was no necessity for another one The protcs tants took the ground that their property would be damaged.

Mr. Drake and Mr. Behrens thought that the Commissioners had acted unjustly. THE REPLY OF THE COMMISSIONERS. Commissioners Lauer and Evans have taken pains to investigate the charges made against them lately at Albany by Messrs.

Wernberg aud Barrett, who appeared before the Committee on Cities ill support of Senator Kicruau's bill legislating them out of office. Tho bill has died in tho committee, but nevertheless, tho Commissioners wish to be set right on some serious allegations which were made against their administration of the Excise Bureau. Appended will he found the official answers ot the Commissioners to the charges made One of tho most serious charges made against the Commissioners at Albany was contained in tho follow ing affidavit City of Bhooklyn, County of Kings, John Patterson, being duly sworn, deposes and savs that he heard from James Patterson, an applicant for a lieenso ro sen aie auo oeer at ana l'lusiuug avenue, tne ionow ing. That the said James Patterson was refused a. license for the sale of ale, at 508 Hushing avenue, first, because it was a new place second, because that for the period of over two years intoxicating liquors were sold at said 508 Flushing avenue without license.

and that the said James Pa rson fu ther said lat ho secured the influence of James Cavacagh, a Republican politician of the Seventh Ward (the same ward with Excise' Commissioner Evans) who secured an interview with the said Excise Commissioner Evans, a. id that the said commissioner promised said Cavau agh in presence of the said Patterson, that tho said Patterson's license would be. granted by the 3rd of April, that he could not promise to have the same granted before ou account of some dilference between himself and Commissioner Lauer, and that said Commissioner Evaus finished said interview by asking said Cavauugh to get for him, Evans, a new free pass to tho Brighton Beach track, all of which conversation was held In the hearing and in tho presence of William B. McQuire. John PATTKr.oN, Sworn to before me this 26th day of March, 1883.

William B. McUuiuk, Notary Public, Kings Couuty. In answer to this James Cavauagh makes a long affidavit, in which lie says that he never secured, attempted to secure or promised to secure for John Patterson an interview with Commissioner Evaus. He met ratter sou in the Municipal Building by accident, aud at his request went before Commissioners Evans and Lauer, and said that Patterson's place had been a liquor store for over twenty years. He said no more, and did not advocate the granting of a licouse.

All that was said by either of the commissioners was by Mr. Evans, who remarked, We can do nothing further until the matter is more fully investigated." No promise whatever was made to Patterson by either of tho Commissioners, nor did Mr. Evaus refer to any difference between him and Mr. Lauer. Mr.

Evans never asked him (Cavauagh) for a pass to the Brighton Beach track, nor did lie ever procure such a pass of him. James Fiitteison also makes affidavit stating that each and every allegation contained in John Patterson's affidavit is wholly untrue aud false in every particular. THE BF.HRENS INTERVIEW. Peter Behrens makes the following affidavit: On or about tho 28th of March I signed and Bwore to a certain statement, at the request of Anthony Barrett, in relation to a certain conversation had with Messrs. Lauer aud Evaus, Ex fee Commissioners, at No.

383 Fulton street ou the 20th of March. I am told that I am represented in tho public press as having sworn that the conversation occurred in a lager beer saloon." I did not know of that statement being embodied in the affidavit, aud it is there by mistake. The conversation with the commissioners did nut occur iu a lager beer saloon, but in a restaurant, where all kinds of food are provided. I went there for the purposo of seeing a friend, aiid was by that friend introduced to the Excuse Commissioners, Among other things tho commissioners were charged with UCEN8TNO DISREPUTABLE PLACES, three of which were mentioned. With respect to tills the following statements arc made Captain Worth reports that there is no truth in the statement that the saloon of Henry Jcnncrick at No.

277 Marcy avenue was of a questionable character. John H. Garrison, proprietor of the saloon at No. BIT Atlantic avenue, makes affidavit touching tho statement made by Mr. Jore Wernberg before the Committee on Cities to the effect that the Commissioner gave him a permit to carry on business at a time when he had no license.

He declares the statement entirely false and that the Commissioners never gave him such a permit. In reference to the liquor store of Mr. Droll at 231 Marcy avenue, which, it was charged, was of a qut tfonable character, Officer John Morrow reports that he made a thorough investigation and found it as respectable as any house iu the city. Mayor Low has come to the conclusion that tho Commissioners liave acted just as ho should have wanted them to act. THE HAMILTON CLUB.

2, East New York, reported that the schools were in a terribly crowded condition, so that in somo etasses children sat on tho window sills and ou the floors. He said it would be absolutely necessai to enlarge at least one of the school buildings. As a temporary remedy ho advised engaging a new teacher, for whom a room could be improvised in the Vermont avenue School Building, and some ot tho crowded classes relieved. After discussion this suggestion was adopted. AMBITION IX THE JIIMSTItV.

ALIVE AGAIN. An Old Project to ExtcHtl Gi'antl Street. Meeting of Citizens in Favor of Opening Up the Thoroughfare from Eleventh Street to Broadway A Plan Growing Out of the Proposed Extension of Flat bush Avenue.

The proposed extension of Flatbush avenue has had tho effect of reviving a movement in tho Eastern District to extend Grand street from Eleventh street to Broadway and Fifth street, making a continuous thoroughfare from Roosevelt and Grand street ferries to Newtown. About twelve years ago tho movement was first started and found a strong advocate in ex Mayor Kalbficisch, who was personally interested in the matter, as he owned considerable property on Grand street. A bill was sent to the Legislature and was defeated through the efforts of Assemblyman Eabcr, who favored improvements on Bushwick avenue before anything was done to Grand street. Since then the matter has been kept quiet and no attempt made to further tho project. But the proposed opening of Flatbush avenue has brought to light tho old bill, and a committee of citizens have gone to Albany to day to try, if possible, to shoulder on the city the Grand street extension together with that of the Flatbush avenue.

The primo movers in the matter expect that if Mayor Low's bill becomes a law the bill for the Grand street extension will pasR through with it. They ray if tho Eastern District was to help pay for the Flatbush avenue extension it is co subject imd'in neatly every case the sentiment was in favor of the Elatbuuh avenue extennion and of the city as a whole paying for it. Ab to the Oraid street improvement only those who hod property in the vicinity and would he benefited thereby appeared to favor the project. JuHtica Nacher, an extensive property owner in the District and president of the German Savings Bank, vran wry decided in his opposition to the opening up of Grand street. He said lie was opposed to the mutter when it came up twelve years ago and ho should oppose it this time.

He said it it would not help build up tho Eastern District but would pimply be of advantage to the abuting owners of property and if they were anx ous for tho street they ought to pay for it. A MEETING OF CITIHEN'8. About fifty prominent citizens of tho Thirteenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth wards met Baturday evening at the real estate ofllco of Kogers it Browuell, on Graud Htreet. Mr. Michael Shields, clerk of 'Justice KiehPs Court, was made chairman, aud James Langan secretary The matter was discussed by Assemblyman Mc Carren, who strongly favored the project, and by Bernard Gallagher, James M.

Otto, Mr. Shields and others The opinion wax unanimous that Graud street ought to be opened to Broadway, and that now was the time to' move in the matter. Mr. McCarren said he would offer a bill in the lover House and fry and have it considered in connection with the Flatbush avenue Extension bill. He paid either Senator Russell or Jacuba would look after the matter in the Senate.

Upon motion to appjint a committee to go to Albany to day to get the matter in shape for immediate legislation, if possible, the following gentlemen were named as such a committee Bernard Gallagher, Chester D. Burroughs, James Langau, James M. Otto and Louis Gfroehr. The estimated cost of this work made twelve years ago was half a million dollars. The cost at present would undoubtedly be at least a quarter of a million more.

Several large buildings would have to come down, one especially at the corner of Broadway aud Fifth street, which is in couise of contraction and will cost about Mr, Shields, one of the active movers in the matter, explained to an Eaolk reporter this morning some of the advantages of the extension. Ho Raid it would give rapid transit to the outlying wards aud the districts of Newtown and Bushwicl which at prciicnt arc not built up. would make a continuous thoroughfare from the ferries to the city line. It was a reasonable demand upon the city if the Flatbush avenue extension was granted. The distance of the proposed extension of Grand street, from Eleventh street to Fifth and Broadway, is 2,280 feet.

MATTERS FROM ALBANY. The Governor Siguu The Bill for tlio Election of TUrcc Justice by tin; City at f.iir(rC' ConrrvMNioual Reapportionment. Special to the Albany, April 16. Tho Governor has signed the hill which provides that the sueeesfors of Justices Courtney, Kenna and Kiehl shall he elected by the city at large instead of by judicial dintriets as provided in the Justices' law passed by ex Schroeder for tho late Francis B. Fisher.

The delay in action on the Apportionment bill by the Senate is creating some talk. The Assembly has passed a bill which has gone to the Senate and been referred to the Senate Apportionment Coinmilteo appointed last year. Senator Jacobs has introduced a bill which has been referred to the same committee. The dillerences between the bills arc slight. The Assembly bill provides for seven Congressional districts in New Vork County, six of which are Democratic by from 28,000 to 5,000 majority, and one Republican, by 8,000 tna jority, Tho Senate bill makes the seven districts Democratic by majorities ranging from 10,000 to 4,000.

The Senate bill leaves Richmond with Queens aud SniTollt, and places Ulster and Dutchess together. The Assembly bill places Richmond with Westchester and separates Dutchess aud Ulster. These are the points of essential difference. There has lwen no attempt at action in the Senate aud it is believed that it will bo delayed until the close of the session so as to prevent a partisan debate. Van.

STILL IN COMMAND. Rev. Mr. Boole, of the Sontu Second Street iTI. E.

Church. The troubles in tho South Second street M. E. Church have not entirely subsided, but the is still master of the situation and in all probabilities will remain so. Yesterday morning the pulpit platform was profusely decoratetl with flowers in houor of the pastor's return, and as Mr.

Boole walked up tho aisle tho organist struck up All hall the power of Jesus' name, Let angels prostrate fall, Bring forth the royal diadem Aud crown him Lord of all. Mr. Boole recognized tho compliment that was paid him and as he entered the pulpit bowed his acknowledgments. In the afternoon Mr. Boole acted as superintendent of tho Sunday syhool, the reg ular superintendent being one of the "outs." A paper signed by six teachers was presouted to Mr.

Boole, ask. ing him to call a meeting of the teachers after the session of tho school. Mr. Boolo read the paper and then said there should not be a meeting of the teachers on Sunday that was not tho proper time to transact business. There was some little feeling over tho matter, but it was found useless to oppose tho fiat of the pastor.

An Insurance illan Raises tne Ante on a Lawyer, The case of Joseph Hnsson against William P. Stewart, pending in the Supremo Court, is an anius incident or the large figures charged by professional lawyers and iusnranco actuaries for their services. The plaintiff is a well known New York lawyer, and defendant is a leading expert actuary for the country. Somo time ngo Stewart was in business troubles, and residing near the plaintiff, explained these troubles to him ono evening, supposing the affair to be a friendly and not a business transaction. The same time Mr.

Husson. who is not posted nn in insurance matters, submitted a number of questions to Stewart for his determination. Husson rcmemborcd tho visits and conversations and sent a bill to Stewart for to which Stewart mado no reply. Husson then brought suit for the $800 in the Supremo Court. Tho actuary, not to be out done in professional charges, put in a counterclaim for his professional services to llus Bon as an expert actuary for $1,500.

For plaintiff, J. Husson; for defendant, E. S. Fales. They Took His Sausages.

On the 15th of March, as John Brinwell was going through North Fifth street with a basket of sausages, he was pet upon by three young roughs who took the basket from him and throw the sausages out into the street, knocked him down, then set upon him and beat nim most cruelly. The police instituted diligent search for the assailants and succeeded in arresting Patrick Hcaly. Tho prisoner was arraigned this morning in the Court uf Sessions to plead to an indictment of robbery iu the first degree. Brinwell said that ho was told by tho officer that Hcaly was the man who robbed him, and that ho had so testified boforc a police magistrate. When tho robbory took placo ho did not see Healy, but as he was arrested he thought he had something to do with the affray.

He had manufactured bologuey sausages for a number of years, and never mixed up with any one. When these bad boys took his basket lie "ruuued" away, aud they threw stones at him. At the timo tho robbery took place he had ouly a couple of bologocys in tho basket. Laughter. The case is still on.

The Jury rendered a verdict of not guilty and the accused was discharged. Suing a Railroad for Salary.

The suit of Walter Harrison against the Newfoundland Railway company came on for trial this morning in the Circuit Court before Mr. Justice Cullen and a Jury. The plaintiff alleges that the defendant is a foreign corporation with an office within this State, which the defendant admits, and also that Albert L. Blackman was employed by the defendant at $15,000 a year for 1881 2, and $10 a day for expenses. It is alleged that the defendant owed Blackmail $10,301.96 on account of salary, and has only paid $2,000 of that Bum.

The balance Blaekinau assigned to this plaintiff. Tho plaintiff alleges that the company gave its draft, for $16,301.96, signed by Frank W. Allin, secretary, but the defendant avers that Allin had no authority to execute it. Plaintiff demands judgment for $14,301.96 with costs. The defendant denies almost all the allegations.

There is no building in South Brooklyn that attracts such universal attention as the partially finished Methodist Episcopal or Seucy Hospital which was commenced last March and which will not be finished for more than a year to come. It will occupy when completed the block by Sixth and Seventh streets and Seveutffand Eighth avenues.

There will be altogether nine separate and distinct buildings, The Administration Building and the two pavilions which flank it on either side are at present the signs of the hospital, and they are in a half finished condition. This morning tho reporter found the foreman, Benjamin F. Curtis, directing the operations, in the midst of the rain, of about a dozen bricklayers and eight laborers. He said that the men were working every day, but the force was not bo strong as it had been, for the reason that the transportation of Btone from New Jersey was Bomcwhat delayed. Work would also be pushed forward ou the main building as soon as a machine for hoisting mortar and bricks was procured.

The Administration building will bo an imposing anil magnifUfcut structure. Tho architecture will ho in the style of tho Renaissance. It will be mainly built of Philadelphia brick, cemented with black mortar. The trimmings will be of brown stone and the entrance which is on Sixth street, will be supported with ornate brown stono and higldy polished granite pillars. The first floor of tho structure will be principally used for offices for tho superintendent aud clerks, and beside a few rooms for patients, it will also couphajiel, and reception rooms.

The scoimd sto'ryvur'be used as the museum, the matron's room and parlors and a bath room, which will be faced with enameled brick and bo designed after the most approved model. Work has not yet been commenced on tho third story and nothing can be done on it until the hoisting machino arrives. Tho building will bo four Btorics high and will contain a commodious elevator. The two pavilions will accommodate 56 patients apiece. They will be three stories high, but only tho first two will be used for patients and the third will be used for storage rooms.

Each pavilion will have a balcony ruuniug through the rear from side to side which will command an unobstructed view of the premises. These two pavilions, or side buildings, are not so far advanced as the main structure, but there is no doubt that they will all bo finished about the same time. The entire hospital will accommodate 230 patients. Nothing has yet been done toward tho erection of the other six small buildings. When the hospital is finished it will be one of the grandest charitable institutions in the country.
