A KENTUCKY VENDETTA.

marauders Make a Bold Kaid on If i sl denecs in Oyster Bay and Secure Some Plunder. Special to the Eagle. Ovstb Buav, May 14. This villago was visited by thieves last night, being tho second time in less than forty eight hours. Two men wero seen to emerge from tho cemetery of the Episcopal Church just before midnight, but the fact did not arouse suspicion.

Tho houso of Mrs. Austin, adjacent to tho cemetery, was broken into at about ono o'clock. When sho and her daughter retired, tho lamp was left burning very low. At a few minutes after, ono o'clock, Mrs. Austin found the light burning brightly.

The thief had got into her room and turned it up. Sho got out of bed and turned It down. At that moment tho thief must havo been concealed under tho bed, evidence of the fact being found on the floor this morning. From this house two gold watches and other things were stolon. Mrs.

Austin's Iobs is over $300. The thieves visited tho residence of Charles Baylis and effected an entrance, but Mrs. Baylis was awakened and tho thioves were alarmed before they had timo to ransack for plunder. Mr. Baylis is a deputy eollretor of internal revenue, and had a good deal of money in tho house.

Tho thieves got nothing. The residence of an Italian tailor named Gitto was also entered. The thief awoko Mrs. Gitto by walking into her room whero a light was burning. She screamed and tho thief mado off with her husband's trowsers, which contained $37.

Gitto leaped out of bed aud pursued tho thief who stopped him by twico discharging a pistol, but whether at him or to frighten him, is not kuown. The village peoplo were aroused and search was mado for tho thieves, but to no purpose. litis. ROUGHLY USED. The Unpleasant Experience of a South Brooklyn, Man.

Knocked Down and Brutally Bcftteu Beside Being Robbed of 300 and a Gold Watch. Mr. C. C. Willeman, tho proprietor of a wholesale and retail liquor store at tho corner of Court and Butler streets, next to tho Third Precinct Station Houso, was assaulted by a gang of roughs on the 7th and robbed of a gold chronometer watch worth $273 and about $300 in money, besido receiving a brutal beating at tho hands of tho ruffianly thieves who attacked him.

On tho evening of the day iu question, Mr. Willeman had occasion to go to Philadelphia on business, and it was after eleven o'clock at night when he arrived there. When he emerged from the Broad etreet depot, being a strangor in the city, ho mistook his way, and instead of going cast, went westward. Ho finally arrived near the Reading depot, aud iu one portion of its dark precincts ho was suddenly attacked by a gang of roughs from behind. Mr.

Willeman was totally unprcparod for such an attack, and had only a cano with which to defend himself. Fortunately it wan a stout one, aud for a few minutes ho made a desperate resistance, shouting for help in tho nieantiine as loud as ho could. Thero wero no policemen near, and at last the ruffians wrenched tho cano from him and ho was prostrated by tho shower of heavy blows which they rained upon him. When at la it ho fell to tho ground in an unconscious stale, tho thieves completed their dastardly work by vifling hi pockets. In a few moments Mr.

Willeman recovered himself but his cowardly assailants had lied. Some friendly citizen to whom ho appealed went with Mr. Willeman to tho Pennsylvania Hospital, where he remained until he recovered sufficiently to go to his friends. A description of tho stolen watch together with a heavy curb chain attaehod has b.ien given to thn police of Philadelphia and at tho Third Precinct in this city, ami Mr. Willeman has offered a liboral reward for its recovery.

Au Eaoi.k reporter saw Mr. Willeman to day. no has recently returned from Philadelphia, and still carries tho mark of the assault of a week ago. Ono of the fingers of his right hand hss been knocked out of joint. "The thieves came upon me so suddenly," he said, "that I had no time to defend myself.

If I could have got niy back against a wall I could have held them at hay probably until help would arrive, but they were too many for me, and they closed iu Iie.hind me aud disarmed me by seizing my arms, and then they dealt blows upon my head Willi my own stick. I hod firmly made up my mind that they intended to kill mo. Thero were four or five who attacked me, but there were others belonging to tho same gang who wero looking out for (lie police and to give the alarm If any one approached. Tho money is a loss, of course I am not rich enough to let $300 go like that, but tho thieves aro welcome to it if thoy would only lot me have tho watch. It is one that was made a present to mo by a very dear friend who is now dead, aud (ho chain was made, out of gold which ho himself dug from the mines out in Arizona.

If tho watch should find its way to a pawnshop I think I shall be likely to recover it, for I am willing to give almost its full value to get it." Mr. Willeman is at raid that the gold cases, which aro very heauy, will bo melted for their intrinsic value, as the thieves would hardly daro to tako a watch of its description to a pawn shop, especially as tho inner case an inscription commemorative of the gift from the donor to Mr. Willeman.

About 8 o'clock last evening, Helena Von Derhaiden, a domestic at No. 231 Howes street, aged 18 years, and only a short time in this country, returned home from a walk in a state of great excitement. She Baid she met an unknown man on Tenth Btrcet, who attempted to assault her and then followed her home.

After telling her story to the lady of tho house, she immediately went into convulsions, aud a doctor was summoned. Tho case proved to bo of such a serious nature that an ambulance was called, and she was taken to St. Cathariuo'8 Hospital. To au Eagle reporter tlds morning she simply reiterated tho facts given last evening, but could Btato no particulars of tho alleged assault. She said she had seen tho man twice before, and thought she could identify him.

A BRUTAL STEP FATHER. Sent to Jail for Thirty Days, by Justice Walsh Tho Hard Lot of a Six Year Old Boy. Joseph Wilson, of No. 230 Hudson avenue, was arraigned this morning, before Justico Walsh, on two charges, one for assaulting his wifo and the other for beating his step son, John Johnson, aged years. Wilson is a man about fiO years of age, and shows tho unmistakable signs of being a hard drinker.

His wife testified that ho habitually beats and abuses tho boy, aud that ou tho particular occasion referred to in the complaint he struck him threo hard blows on tho head and face, blackening his eyes and rendering him sick for several days. When she tried to savo tho child from his violence, ho turned on her, knocked her down and kicked her on the body. Wilson admitted that ho had beaten tho boy because he would not oboy his orders. Justico Walsh committed him to jail for thirty days. Mr.

IiussoU, tho agent for the Society for tho Prevention of Cruelty to children, was in the court room. He said he had mado a personal investigation of tho matter, and that thero could be no doubt that Wilson was in the habit of ill treating aud abusing tho boy. Tho mother, however, who ho says has a violent temper, treats the boy iu a similar manner. Her first husband was a William Harrington, who got a divorco from her. Sho then married Charles Gage, who, as alleged, ran away from her eight or nine years ago, and who has never been heard of since.

Between mother and stepfather the boy has a hard life of it, and Mr. Kussell will tako caro that ho is protected iu future from such barbarous treatment as he has received at their hands. Whon Justico Walsh told Wilson that ho would commit him for thirty days his wifo said "He ought to get Bix months." Ho ought," said the judge, "if you could bo sent with him." THE 150YNTON ROBBERY.

Johnson, tho cashier of Boynton's Bolt and File Company, No. Doran street, was knocked down on Ainslio Btrect by threo men and robbed of $1,020. From descriptions given by Johnson and other parties who witnessed the assault the police identified the robbers as James Welsh, Michael McFadden and Gcorgo Reardou. Two weeks ago Welsh was arrested iu Fall River, Mass. Last Thursday evening Officer Bowes, of tho Sixth Precinct, ran across McFadden in a saloon in Union avenuo and arrested hint, but the prisoner slipped his coat snd made his escape, not, how over, until the officer had fired four sliots at him.

Women and children lied tho streets when they saw the animal coming, and (he poor beast, with a constantly increasing crowd (it its heels, was probably the most frightened creaturo of all.

When it struck tho river it swam with tho tide; some of the rivermeu got a boat, caught up to the animal, hitched a rope round its horns and towed it to Pierrepout's stores in Furinan street. It was made fast to lighter, a sling was constructed with some ropes aud a derrick was used to hoist the beast aboard. The steer, which was handed back safe nnd sound to its owner, was worth $135.

Citizens Before Use Excise Com missione vs A License to Talrick Dowd Refused Complaints Made for Violation of the Excise Law. The Excise Commissioners gave patient hearing this morning to persons advocating and opposing tlx granting of a license to Patrick Dowd, at No. 738 Fulton street, corner of Cumberland. for and against the granting of the lieenso were presented. Ex Judge Rooney spoke in bahalf of Mr.

Dowd. Ho sain that he was entitled to a license. He had been in the business seven years and had given satisfaction to the Police and Excise departments and tho public. The petition which he has hnnded in represents $500,000. No.

73t? Fulton street had been a liquor store for somo time before Mr. Dowd runted it, and ho had apcut $1,100 in fitting it up. Ho was willing (o comply with all the rtilc3 and regulations of the Excise Department. Mr. Force, who keeps an ice cream saloon on the opposite side of the street, said that although ho was not drinking man himself, ho was not opposed to Mr.

Dowd, who lie knew had always kept a most respectable place. Ex Polico Sergeant Hamlin also spoke in favor of Mr. Dowd. Mr. Bulwinklc strongly opposed the granting of the license.

There are a sufficient number of liquor stores in the neighborhood to meet all tho wants of (he prople. The protest is signed by only the immediate neighbors. There are sixty names on tho protest of residents of the block, while the petition in favor has only nineteen names on the block. The tax records show that tho irotestants have ten times more at stako than the advocates of the license. If Mr.

Beard spent $1,100 in fitting the place up that should have no weight, as he, had been told by thu Commissioners that he did so at his own risk. There are four or Ave liquor stores within a block and a half, and some of tho property owners find it diflieult to secure tenants owing to the number of liquor stores in the neighborhood. People have beon obliged to move away in consequence of tiio uoiso and uproar coming from these gin mills. Mr. George W.

Hedge, of No. 371 Cumberland street, Faid that ho had lived there forty years and had built tho first house on the street and has livod there ever since. There is TI1K IS A RCrErtABtTSnAJJCE OF LIQUOR STORES, more than the law allows. They don't want anymore noise, racket, blood and murder than they have at present. "I am opposed to this in totn" said Mr.

Hedge. Mr. lioouey You are opposed to tho ealo of liquor altogether? Mr. Hedge I am. Mr.

Itooney You would be opposed to it even if a majority of tho people, wanted it Mr. Hedge I would, but 1 am with a majority of tho people on this occasion. Mr. Itooney You would oppose the sale of liquor now if nine tenths of the people were iu favor of it Mr. Hedge I would but that has nothing to do with this question.

Mr. Dowd Will you bo willing to give me the $1,100 I spent in fitting up this place? Mr. Hedge 1 have nothing to do with what you spent. You were fooli. to spend your money before yon knew whether you could get your license or not.

Ald rman Houghton also spoke in opposition on tho ground that there were already too hnvny places on tho block and in tho neighborhood. Another protectant spoke of tho ierrible injury resulting to the youth of tho neighborhood by the presence of so many liquor stores. Ho was evon ashamed to let people know that he lived there. Mr. James Johnson said that it was dreadful and that every father of a family should strongly opposo the granting of a license.

Another gentleman said that the place should be reorganized from top to bottom, and even yesterday, although he has no license, liquor was sold there. General Jourdnn If you know that liquor was sold thorn yesterday, it is your business to go before a magistrate and make a couipi. iint. The gentleman said that ho did not consider that it was his business. "I saw pails of beer," lie continued, "going out of the place in Fulton street which Mr.

Dowd used to keep. He has no license for this place at present. I saw something iu tho pails which looked like beer." Mr. Booney asked if he would swear that it was 1GV, to which he replied that the stuff had froth on it and it I joked like beer. It certainly wbb not milk.

General Jonrdan said that this matter would bo attended to. Several other gentlemen also entered protests and the investigation seemed to lie likely to become interminable, when General Jonrdan got up to leavo, saying that he had several other official engagements to All. Commissioner Lauor Can't you stay fifteen minutes longer If you go away I'll commit suicide. General Jonrdan I will stay then. When the investigation was finally brought to a close, General Jourdan said that in view of the formidable protest against tho granting of the license, tho Commissioners had determined to refuse the application.

The Country Devastated and Many jLiveit IjO. Kansas City, May 14. Special dispatches to tho 27mm last night state that tho storm did considerable damage at Liberty, blowing down small buildings and damaging the largo ones. A large portion of tho roof of tho Marshal Jewell College was torn away. Damage to a similar extent is reported from Pattonsburg, in Davis County.

Tho latest estimates that could he obtained last night placed the loss to property at between $200,000 and $300,000. At least fifty buildings wero blown down and 200 more were badly damaged. Tho character of the property destroyed was chiefly dwellings and shrubbery. Kump's brewery, corner of Main and Fourteenth streets, this citv, suffered severely, and the new German Evangolical Church, which cost $35,000, was ruined, as was also the new Methodist Church on Lydia avenue. The lino of tho st.irm extends through tho city nearly three mllos, and in its route trees, bricks, rafters aud household effects aro scattered In endless confusion, blocking up the.

roadway iu many places. From Main street tho hurricane followed Fourteenth street to Grand avenue thence to McGee street, destroying all tho housos on the south sido of tho street for bno block from Oak to Locust street, on Fourteenth. All the houses facing the park aro wrecked. lioports received late last night from Wyandotte stato that tho destruction wrought iu that vicinity is much greater than was at first supposed. An appeal for aid has been received there from Muncie, a railroad station twelve miles from Wyandotte, indicating that the disaster is widespread.

A reporter drove for several miles through the country along the track of tho storm and found everything within its confines swept away. Many farmhouses aro gone and several jicrsons havo beon killed. Tho cyclone passed over an extent of territory fully fifteen miles in length. A REVOLUTION' IN SAN" SALVADOR. It i Promptly Siijiprcsdecl and the Itiiijf Icaders Captured.

Panama, May 5. On the morning of Arril lfi the barracks at Santa Tecla, Sau Salvador, were attacked by a mob of mon armed with rifles, revolvers, shotguns and machcts, raying, Viva la Religion Muora Zaldivar etc. but they were driven off by tho soldiers, who killed two or three, wounded several and made forty prisoners. The soldiers in the barracks wero commanded by Colonel Delgado. General Molina followed up tho fleeing insurgents, and captured many who hod taken refugo on tho volcano which adjoins tho city.

Tho revolutionary movement was to have broken out at the same time at Libcrtad, San Salvador, Santa Anna, Son Senate aud Ahuacha pan, and as a consequence these departments were at once declared in a state of siege. The revolutionists cheered Dr. Gallardo while crying Death to Zaldivar and Barrios." Among those arrested aro General Francisco Melon dez, Dr. Manuel Gallardo, Sr. Hareial Esteves and Dr.

Miguel A. Louccl. The government claims to have been in possession of particulars of the plot, but it did not think the conspirators would attempt to carry it into execution. The rebels claim to bo animated by feelings hostile to tho Central American Union, but as that idea is now almost abandoned this excuse is not held to be sufficient, and they will he severely punished.

The Officers of the Menhaden Company Accused. An Injunction Obtained in a Suit in Wliicft They arc Charged with Fraud, Conspir acy nnd Collusion The Sheriff Stayed Ivom Selling: Their Four Sipflmboats this Morning.

On March 10, 1882, the Menhaden Company was organized for the manufacture of oil and guano from fish, Tho trustees for the first year were T. S. Chambers, George L. P. Chambers, John B.

8. Chambers vico president and treasurer, and Gcorgo L. P. Chambers, secretary. Mr.

d'Honiergite resigned aud E. Indig was chosen in his place. On March 28, Georgs I. Chambers died and George F. Taylor was chosen prcsidont.

Mr. d'Homergne has begun an action in tho Supremo Court against all these parties and the administrator of George T. Chambers. He alleges that tieforo tho organization of tho company lie and Chambers Brothers carried on tho business and transferred four steam fishing boats to the company and a factory on Barren Island which cost unincumbered, except with a ground rent of $1,400. Tho steamboats wero also unlucunilKTcd except with a $3,000 mortgago on olio, aud wera worth $12,000 exclusive of the niortgago.

On the transfer tie company assumed the Indebtedness. Plaintiff is a stockholder to tho amount of the stock being $77,000. The company mortgaged the property to Thomas White for $0,000 to pay the indebtedness it had assumed. Tho company never carried on business of any kind from Its formation. Tlieireasurer, it is altered, has never accounted for the $0,000 and the corporation is insolvent.

It ia alleged that Chambers and Taylor, as officers of tha company, havo conspired with Whiio to alieuato the property of the company by judicial processes aud chattel mortgage sales. The mortgago has been purchased without any notification to the plaintiff, and tha property has been bought in hy White. Taylor and the defendant, Chambers, havo sufl'enxl tho vessels to be seized and advertised for sale under theso claims aggregating They have sutb red and procured tha recovery of judgments agnint the company by tho defendants. Though (hey have never rendered any services as officers, George L. P.

Chambers has got by default against the company for $240.10 salary; Henry F. 8. Chambers salary; GeorgeP. Chambers, aa administrator or Chambers Brothers for money paid at the request of the company. In each case the complaint was served ou the president, who failed to api ear.

The Sheriff of Kings County has levied on the steamboats, and they wero to bo sold this morning. Tho plaintiff auk that tho Judgments obtained by Chambers and Chambers Brothers Company and by Ceo. chambers, bo adjudged to havo been fraudulently and colluslvely obtained and void, and that with the executions issued therein bo vacated and set aside; that tho pretended solo of the factory at Barren Island be adjudged fraudulent and collusive and bo vacated; that Geo. L. Chambers personally, and as administrator, ami Henry F.

S. Chambers aud ali other creditors or alleged credttora of tho company, be restrained from bringing actions or further proceedings in actions already begun and that the Sheriff of New York and of Kiu.s County bo restrained from all proceedings; that Chambers, Taylor and tho officers of tho company be enjoined from alienating or attempting to alienate the property of the company that Gcorgo F. Taylor, George L. Chambers and Henry F. 8.

Chambers account for their oflicial conduct in tho management of tho funds and property of tho company, and that thoy bo required to pay the company or the receiver of it tho value of any property which they havo acquired or transferred to others or lost by violation of their duties that a receiver be appointed, and that the plaintiff may have such other relief as may 6eem Just.

The jolliest day of all the year with tho Germans is FfingBt Monday, the day following Whitsunday It is a day corresponding with St. Patrick's day among tho Irish. All Germans without regard to class, section or sect celebrato this holiday. In Germany tho Pflugs ten festival is tho oponing of the Summer season when tho pleasure parkB and picnic grouudB are thrown opon to tho public, and for two days tho happy Teutons engage in athletic sports, dancing, singing and othor amusements. Pfingstcr is a great festival in tho German Catholic Church.

It is tho Pentecost, or tho timo when tho Holy Ghost descended upon tho Apostles fifty days after the crucifixion of Christ, and when tho ApoBtles wore enabled by (ho power of tho Holy Spirit to speak all tongues. Plingst Moutag, thcrofore, is observed as a festival in the honor of Spring aud is mado a season of rejoicing. The residents of the Sixteenth Ward, which is essen tially a German section, make a great deal of tho fes tival, and yesterday and to day the ward has been decked in its best holiday attire. Flags havo boon strung across tho streets, aud many colored strips of bunting festooned ia front of tho houses. Yesterday morning thoso religiously inclined attended service in tho several churches.

At Holy Trinity, on Montrose avenue, thero was a special musical servico appropriate to tho occasion. In tho German Lutheran churches sermons with special refer ence to the Pentecostal day wero preached. In the afternoon all tho parks were crowded with men, wo men and children. Never beforo has there been such a Biirging, crowding mass of peoplo at tho parks on Whitsunday. Largo numbers camo from Now York, and tho horso car companies wero obliged to put on extra cars.

Tho Haydn Mannerchor, with a number of societies as their guests, were at Ridg wocd Park, whero thoy spent the afternoon and evening drinking beer and enjoying a fine Bacred concert. Tho societies at Myrtle avenuo Park and High Ground Park wero not, however, so highly favored by position as their friends 'just across tho lino in Queens County. Early In tho day tho polico informed tho owners of theso two parks that no beer must be sold on tho grounds. Tho proprietors claoed their bars, but the Germans, not to be deprived of the chief attraction of tho day, brought their own beer. Tho police then gave orders that no beer should bo drank on the grounds, and so tho kegs were taken back to tho breweries, and so with parched throats aud ruffled spirits the festive Toutons played their games and sang their songs.

Promptly at midnight bock beer was flowing liko water, and tho thirsty ones who waited till that hour made up for their long abstinonce. to day's celebhatiox. If thoro is ono thing the Germans enjoy it is to parado through the streets led by a brass band. At an early hour this morning the thoroughfares of the Sixteenth Ward woro crowded with spectators to witness tho processions which were to pass beforo them. Thero aro several special features about a German parade.

As a general tiling every member of a society wears tho same style hat. In this respect they aro uniformed. A ribbon or rossetto on tho lappel of tho coat gives tho namo of the organization. Tho marshal and his aids lead tho procession riding on horseback following them are tho oflicers, each ono carrying a huge bouquet of ilowers. Tho privates, undignified by office, walk in pairs each ono smoking cigar.

In a procession an eighth of a mile in length which passed through the street of Dutehtown this morning, the writer observed a cigar in tho baud of nearly every man in line. After parading tho streets until tho curiosity of the public has be'en satisfied they go to the parks where tho remainder of the day is spent in amusement, Justico Kiehl's court this morning adjourned al an early hour, aud his Honor and the attache of the court followed the crowd to the pleasure grounds. Justice Naeher's court was completely demoralized, and during (ho passing of ono of the processions in void ot tho building even his Honor left the judicial bench and enjoyed the sight from tho window of his private, room. Of the organizations which turned out in a body woro the Hayden Mannerchor, under command of Supervisor Jacob Bennett, of the Niuteenth Ward. Tho society started from Toutonic Hall, on Harrison avenue.

They were accompanied by Sehwaebach Saengerbund, Young Mens' Turiiveiien, Cccclial Society and several local lodges of the order of Germania. The Turnverein and Williamsburgh Saengerbund ma.iched together to Myrtle avenue Park, whero they will spend the day. Tho Bavarian Relief Club met at Iteitzner's Boulevard Park and the Hammond Saengerbund at High Ground Park, The Lasullo Maennerchor, which numbers over 000 members, paraded its full strength under Captain F.mil Walter, and had a regular jollification in the Labor Lj' cenin Hall, near Myrtle avenue. The R. C.

Church of (he Annunciation, of the Eastern District, hod the festival at Metropolitan Park, the pastor, Father Haupt niami, being in charge. The South Brooklyn turners enjoyed themselves at Dobbins' Park, Fifteenth street and Third avenue, and turned out about 150 men. THE CF.LF.BD.ATr.ON IN NEW YORK.

At 8 o'clock this morning the 2r0 girls and S50 boys who attend tho free school of the society assembled in Turn Hall, and shortly after that hour the several athletic and singing societies participating in tho celebration of the day began to arrive. AN EXCURSION TO BHESLAU. The members of the Breslau Lot Owners Association and the Breslau Co operative Society celebrated tho day by an excursion to the City of Breslau.

At Jamaica live cars full of Now York members were added to tho train, makings party of about 1,000 people. At Breslau the party wera met by a number of citizens who wero accompanied hy a band of music. A silk banner was presented to the Co operative Association by the ladies. A site was selected for a piano factory, to bo built by the society. Most of the afternoon was spent by tho gentlemen in visiting places of interest.

Mr. Charles H. Schlior, who purchased the site in I860, was present and made a speech in German. Ho said that he was proud to bco that tho object of his life, to provide homos for tho sufferers of tho overcrowued tenements in New York City was about to be crowned with success. AN OLD THICK SUCCESSFULLY PEHFOMED.

Black to send it and the. change for $5 to his house. A girl was sent with the umbrella and $3 change, aud the man met her on tho way and took both from her and ran away. Hit. MIDAS AND HIS LICENSE.

General Jourdan will be at the head of both the military and polico forces present on tho occasion, and as grand marshal will have his handB full. It is probable that at least one third of tho entire police forco will bo on duty at the bridge on tho opening day. AN INSANE MAN. An insane man who described himself as Henry Ernest, aged 45 years, of No. 078 Myrtle avenue, was found by an officer of tho Fifth rrccinct wandering aimleisly along Broadway yesterday afternoon.

An Estimate of the Chances of the Re nomination of Mayor Low Bedford Avenue Repaving, Etc. President Tiuslow, of tho Board of Assessors, while at the Mayor'B offlco to day, said that tho rate of State taxation had been flxed at 32X cents per $100 of valuation, or 8 cents more than last year. It is believed around tho Hall that tho Stato Board of Equalization will increaso rather than reduce local valuations. Under all tho circumstances, it iB probable that tho local rato will bo higher than last year, but just how much it is impossiblo now to say. Last year it was $2.03 on tho average.

Careful observers now venture tho opinion that it will bo at least $2.38 this year, and some say $2.40. The amounts issued in 18S2 for 1883 wero as follows: For city purposes, $4,831,233 county, $1,140,113 State, $817, 097 making a total of Thero are a number of items to go in tho budget which will go to swell it, but the increaso will be partially offset by tho increaso of city valuation by tho Assessors who aro now at work. Last year tho aggregate valuation was $283,738,317. This year it is expected that tho aggregate will bo raised to $300,000,000. Tho valuation of tho towns in 1882 was $12,074,250, which made tho total of city and county The Board of Eatiuiato will meet to morrow alternoon for tho purpose of receiving the statements of the heads of tho yarious departments of the amounts required for 1884.

THE BEPAVIXO OF RUDFORD AVENUE. Commissioner Hopes' was to day visited by a delegation of Bedford avenue, who asked him to havo that thoroughfare rcpaved with granite blocks from Flushing avenue (o Fulton street. Thoy wero Thomas D. Hudson, S. L.

liowlaud, Morris Evans, Benjamin Brown, Alexander Undcrhill and r. H. Kourko. The Commis sinuer said tho Governor had not yet signed tho Street Repair bill. His main objection was to having tho paviuents spread over ten years.

Mr. Evans suggested that as tho Governor would be here on (ho 21th to attend tho Bridge celebration, ho might ho taken over and shown the condition of the ovenue. Ho would certainly Bign tho bill after that. Commissioner Kopos promised to do the best ho could in reference to the rpaving the avenue. EMPLOYMENT OF VETERANS OH THE BRIDGE.

Tilt question of the employment of veteran soldiers and sailors on the bridge as watchmen, gatemen, policemen, was brought to tho attention of Mayor Low as bridge trustee to day by a delegation from tho Memorial Committee and thoDisablcd Veterans' Associa tion.wlio called upon him at his offlco. Tho visitors were Tax Collector James Tanner, Edwin A. Perry and William A. Powers. As thero will be a meeting of tho Bridge Trustees this afternoon, (hey wanted the Mayor to introduce tho question at that gathering.

Mr. Perry told tho Btory of tho experience had by representatives of the veterans who had waited upon tho appeared in the report of tho Memorial Committee published in tho Sunday. Eagle. It was to the effect that only men under 33 years of age wero to bo employed on tho bridge, which rule bars out tho veterans. Mr.

Perry said they desired to find a friend of the veterans who, as a member of the Board of Bridgo Trustees, if he should find that Engineer Martin had been ordered to employ only men under 33, would oiYeA resolution providing that such classification should not apply to soldiers and soldiers, but that they should have tho prof erenco when competent for the duties required of them. Collector Tanner, in urging the Mayor to offer a resolution of that character, held that tho rule said to havo been made by tho trustees established a bad precedent. He said that it had been tried in the post office at Cincinnati, but tlie authorities there were iuduced to dro it. It was often tho caso that men at 33 were hardly iu their prime, and the "boys" fret that the rule in question was directed at them. It appeared as if the trus.

tees wished that no one who had been in tho army or navy should have a place on tho bridge. Mr. Perry called attention to tho fact that under tho civil service rules just published, applications for employment in the servico might bo made by any one under 45 years of age, except in the case of soldiers and sailors whose age was not to bo taken into consideration. Mayor Low replied to his visitors that it was a question with him how far he ought to go in this matter. He should think over it, and if ho should see his way clear to do anything he should do it at this afternoon's meeting.

The delegation then called upon General Slocum, ex Mayor Howell and Controller Brinkerhoff, who aro members of the Bridge Board. General Sloeuin said ho had not been consulted in regard to the matter aud did not know tho situation of affairs; but ho thought it was decidedly unfair to make any distinction against veterans. He promised that he should do all in his power to set the thing right. Ex Mayor Howell suggested that the committee should send a communication to the trustees, and thought that if the matter should be thus brought to their attention they would rectify it. If no one else would do it, ho would make a motion to have veterans excepted from tho rule.

Controller Brinkerhoff expressed himself in favor of tho veterans also. The following communication has been addressed to the trustees To the HnnortMe lloartl of Trustees nf the I'orS ana1 lirmW.ni lirid'jf Gr.vri.KMEK The undersigned, representing various official organizations compoded of veteran sol.iersand sailors of tho late war resident in our vicinity, beg leave to present for vonr consideration (he following ascertained or assumed facts Wo understand that your liodv has dolcatod tho matter of the employment of permanent force on tiio bridgo to the consulting enrinec, Mr. Martin. We are furthermore informed that Mr. Martin has been instructed, by what authority we are not exactly certain, to employ no man over 35 years of age.

Whether intended or not, the effect of any bucIi rule is to totally exclude any of our comrades who might desire to secure employment there, for one to havo been of servico to this country twenty two or twenty three years ago must necessarily have been of such, an ago then as to land him now on the wrong sido of 33 and white we presume, that in adopting any such rule the Bridgo Trustees had a vivid recollection of tho hardships and the. sufferings endured by us during the war, and prohahlv think that it was such a strain upon our physical svstems that we ar of no use now in tho more laborious "wolkB of life, we respectfully resent this gentle insinuation aud beg leave to protest against your bodv passing such a verdict, which is to tho effect that wo are physical wrecks. Unfortunately too many are so but nmuv a man who did faithful servico during ti.o lale war is now iu such circunislances as to render employment on the bridge desirable for tho support of himself and those depending upon him, aud yet it is as competent to render an cqnivo laut for his compensation as any man alive. Understanding that vou havo proceeded on tho basis that preference shall be given in the employment of the permanent force, to those who have labored in tho construction of the bridge, wo desire to say that we conccdo tho justice of such a determination on your part, but we do protest respectfully, but most earnestly, against the adoption of tho thirty five years of age limit, which certainly, as Mr. Strauahan said to one of our representatives, "rules the Grand Army out." Wo believe that the public which poured out its millions for the defense of tho country, when wo were in the field, and which has poured out its millions for the building of tho bridgo, would give a most positive verdict of approval, if your Honorable Body should go so far as to declare, after having cared for those who havo been employed in tho construction of tho bridge, that iu tho employment of all the remaining force, they would give preference, all other things being equal, to men who did sorvice iu tho army or navy.

We thoreforo respectfully aBk that you will take such action as will clearly provide that in tho employment of tho permanent force in connection with the operation of tho bridge no arbitrary limit shall bo fixed as to ago, where the applicant has been a soldier or sailor in tho service of the country, but that only his mental and physical competency shall be considered.

James MoLeer, Chairman Joint Committee. THE REPUBLICAN ENROLLMENT. To morrow will be tho last day of tho Republican enrollment this year. Thus far tho movement has been a failure, comparatively few having availed themselves of tho opportunity of becoming nicinliors of the ward and town associations. It was claimed by those who urged the enrollment that It would havo tho effect of crushing out bossism iu associations, as it would enable very many Republicans of independent character to join tho organizations.

Tho result shows that that class of Republicans have little interest in the matter. Deputy City Works Commissioner R. M. Whiting, a Twentieth Ward Republican, was askod what, in his opinion, tho apathy thus far indicated. "It means," ho replied, "an utter failuro on tho part of thoso most interested in good government to appreciate the importanco of being iu position to use voico and vote in naming tho men who shall constitute tho conventions by whom nominations arc to be roRde next Fall.

I regard the present plan as tho best that can bo devised. Four days wero named, on which, from 8 to 10 A. and from 6 to 10 P. any Republican vouched for by a member of tho association could enroll by simply filling in Wank form and leaving it in person at the place designated. Three of thoso days havo passed, aud but few havo enrolled.

In the Twentieth Ward, where not Icbs than COO should have enrolled, but about sixty havo done so. Many of thoso uneurolled Republicans aro ardent supporters ol Mayor Low, and greatly desire his re election, and yet they neglect tho only means for making that Bure. Thoy may find when the delegates Bhall havo been elected that the convention is in tho hands of his enemies. Thoy can, by a goncral enrollment on Tuesday next, practically sottle tho question of the Mayoralty nomination." Cannot tho nomination of Mayor Low be forced upon tho convention as it was before?" asked there porter. I do not think it can.

Tho Bituation was exceptional. A similar conjunction of circumstances is unlikely. Thero is a tendency to unification in tho local Democracy, and if it wero possible to force tho nomination Mr. Low could not be elected, as such nominee, over an unexceptionable candidate named by a united Democracy. In order to insure Mr.

Low's re election he must havo the regular nomination, and his friends need to enroll on Tuesday next in order to make that sure. DEPARTMENT OF ARREARS.

Scenes at the Execution this Morning in Dublin He Obeys his Mother's Com.

mantl and Dies Without Making Any Statement Order Preserved by a Strong Military Force A Crowd of Ten Tlions and People Outside the Prison Walls. History of the Crime. Dublin, May 14, Joe Brady, who was convicted of participation in tho murdor of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burko on the fith of lost May, was hanged at eight o'clock this morniug. Brady was the first man brought to tho gallows for connection with this crimo.

A LARGE AND ORDERLY CROWD. A vast coucourso of people gathered outside tho prison yard in which Brady was executed this morning. A strong force of cavalry, infantry aud polico wero present to preserve order. There was no attempt at disturbance, however, the crowd conducting itself with creditablo decorum. Tho morning opened beautifully, but there were showers at about tho time tho execution took place.

THE LAST HOURS OF THE CONDEMNED MAN. Brady ro6e at 6 o'clock. At 6:35 Canon Kennedy, of St. James' Church, aud Father O'Reilly administered the Bacrameut to tho condemned man in tho prison chapel. The three remained praying until the arrival of Mar wood, the hangman.

Brady submitted quietly while his arms were being pinioned and walked slowly and unflinchingly to tho scaffold. THE BLACK FLAG HOISTED. Tho black flag indicating that tho execution had taken' place, was hoisted over tho prison wall at threo mluutos past eight. Almost immediately after tho flag was raised, a hearso aud a coach with mourners wero seen at a distanco coming in tho direction of the prison. Tho polico, however, interferod and prevonted the vehicles from approaching.

There had beon reports circulating that after tho hanging ot Brady his friends would endeavor to excite tho people to a demonstration by parading au empty heaino through tho city. BRADY'S INTERVIEW WITH HIS MOTHER. Brady was visited by his mother last evening. She was heard to exclaim "Mind, Joe, no statement." Brady smiled and replied: "Don't bo foolish; do you think I am a fool It is stated that tho mother threatened to disown her son if ho gavo tho government any information. A wreath of flowers was received by Brady, to which was attached a card bearing au expression of grief at his fato from Irishmen living in Liverpool.

HOW HE MET HIS DEATH. Brady made no statement to tho jail chaplain or to the governor of the prison. Ono of tho last things ho did was to write a letter to his mother. Ho carried a prayer book in his hand to tho scaffold, aud was thoroughly rosigned and firm. His body fell nine feet aud his death was iustantanoous.

Brady was dressed in tho same clothes ho wore during his trial. THE SPECTATORS SALUTE THE FLAG. Tho number of porsons in tho crowd outside tho jail it is estimated, reached 10,000. Tho throng is said to havo been even greater than any of thoso when executions wero public. At tho moment the black flag was seen over the jail a cry was raised of "hats off," and every head was uncovered.

Tho crowd shortly af tor wards dispersed quietly. APPEARANCE OP THE BODY AFTER DEATH. Tho verdict of tho Coronor's jury was that Brady's death was caused by a rupture of tho spinal cord. A juryman stated that the features of the dead man wero slightly swollen and his eyes protrudod. His touguo was half cut iu two between his teeth.

History of the Crime. Brady was executed in expiation of tho murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish, Secretary for Ire laud, and ThomaB Burke, tho Under Secretary. Tho double assassination was perpetrated on May I8S2, in Phenix Park, Dublin. Tho polico followed up with vigor and perRistoncy tho Blight clues obtainable and never rested until tho principals in tho atrocious crime wero in custody. Among the men taken in custody was James Carey, a builder and contractor in Dublin.

Do was arrested in Fobruarj" of this year, and on the 17th of that month ho turned informer aud charged tho crimo upon Joseph Brady, who was then in Ililinain ham Jail. Indictments wero quickly found and Brady and his accomplices pleaded not guilty. During tho trial which followed the prisoners wero kept under a heavy guard. In tho dock Brady hero up with every indication ot fortitude, aud was even defiant in his demeanor. Tho witnesses for tho prosecution testified that Brady was a member of the Fenian Brotherhood that he belonged td what was known as tho Inner Circle and had seen tho prisoner nt its meetings, and that Brady ranked next Ourley in the order.

Carey, the informer, in his testimony, said he was a member of tho Invinciblo Society and that Joe Brady was another member of it. Tho conspiracy originally only included tho murdor of Under Secretary Burke. Brady furnished the knives. On tho morning of the murder the assassins lay iu wait for Mr. Burko in tho park.

As ho ramo along with Lord Cavendish, Carey identified him as "the man in the gray suit." The informer then left the park, though not until ho had scon Brady raise hia arm and striko Mr. Burke. Afterward Brady told Carey that when ho struck Burko, Lord Cavondish dealt him a blow ncvoss tho faco with his umbrella and called him a ruffian. But for this, Brady said, ho would havo permitted tho Secretary to escape. After tho blow was delivered ho followed Lord Cavendish into the driving way and finished him thero.

Tho cross examination of Carey was very severe. Evory effort was mado to shako his testimony, but without avail. The dofenso endeavored to provo an alibi, but tho effort failed. Judge O'Brien, in his charge to tho jury, bore heavily against tho prisoner. The jury returned a verdict of guilty without delay, and Brady was sentenced to bo hanged on May 14.

Ho received his sentence with stolid indifferonce. IT WAS OUTRAGEOUS." Health Commissioner Raymond in an Indignant Mood A Victim of Smallpox lEiifttled Out of a Dispensary and Permitted to Wander tho Streets. A Cauo Calling for Official Jnveli tion. A young man whose face nnd hands were covered with an eruption and who walked with difficulty, tottered up tho steps of tho Municipal Building about 4 P. M.

on Saturday. Ho was met by Mr. Michae Simmons, tho janitor, who asked him what his business was. He said he wanted to go to the Health Department, and handed him a piece of paper on which was written, Call at tho Health OtHce in Municipal Building." Mr. Simmons directed him to tho Health Ofllcoi on the second floor.

Tho man was so weak that it took him a couplo of minutes to climb the single stairway. Whon he was ushered into Commissioner Raymond's presonco the causo of his visit was at onco explained. It was A WALKING CASE OF SMALLPOX, and that, too, as Dr, Rrymond at once perceived, of the very worst type. The unfortunate victim of the loathsome malady was promptly isolated in a room in tho department reserved for such cases, and a message was sent for the smallpox wagon. In half an hour the patient was on his way to the Flatbush hospital, and not more than half a dozen ijcrsons were awaro of his presonco in the building.

Fortunately there were not many persons around on Saturday afternoon, and no particular scene occurred in the public offices. After tho departure of the man, tho Health Department was thoroughly fumigated. Dr. Raymond at once set to work to mako an investigation for the purpose of ascertaining the history of tho case. After learning all the facts ho was forced to oxclalm, "Tin's is an outrage," and words liko these from the present Health Commissioner indicated that thero were ample grounds for fault finding in the case.

It seems that the name of the unfortunate man Is Jeremiah Corbett, aged 22 years, no is unmarried and liveB at No. 36 Chappoll street, a largo tenement house, in which there aro several families residing. He worked in tho brass foundry, corner First avenuo and Twenty eighth street, and remained at work till last Wednesday, although ho was suffering from tho malady for several days before that timo. On Wednesday ho was too sick to leavo. tho house, but passed around among the inmates without any restraint, aud also visited Boveral houses in (ho neighborhood.

As latO'Ss Saturday afternoon he was sitting on the stoop sunning himself, with dozens of children playing around him. At this time tho eruption had broken out on hiB faco, but it was not till near 4 o'clock that ono of his neighbors told hint that he had Emallpox, aud that ho had better GO TO THE DISPENSARY IU TILLARY STREET. Ho started for the disponsary, going the distance alone and passing through crowded thoroughfares. As soon as he reached tho dispensary tho physician in charge recognized him as a walking caso of smallpox, and alter directing him to go to the Health office hustled him out of tho offlco, which was crowded with patients at tho time. Iu passing through Fulton street toward tho Municipal Building he fell down two or three times and had to be assisted to his feet by citizens.

One of the doctors from thn dispensary followed him at a respectable distance and was close on his tracks when ho introduced himself to Dr. Raymond. The latter gave the representative of the dispensary some plain talking to, telling him that it was a most stupid piece of business for him to allow the man to pass through the crowded scores of persons to the contagion. The Doctor's excuse was that there were so many people in the dispensary and no place to isolate the dangerous visitor. Dr.

Raymond said that this was not a BUflleieut excuse, aud to day he addressed a communication to the various dispensaries, requesting them to keep smallpox patients who might call thero until tho Health Department was notified. Tho houso in which Corbett lived was thoroughly fumigated on Saturday and yesterday. Twenty two of the occupants were vaccinated. Tho residents of the immediate neighborhood will also be vaccinated to day. FIRE IN THE WOODS.

Yesterday afternoon fire broke out in the woods at Circeidawn, owned by Skillman Brush. Tho people turned out aud fought the flames with brooms, rakes, hoes, shovels, aud whatever could be made effective. It. was feared at one time that tho flro would reach Cen terport and destroy residences and farm buildings, but tliis was preveuted by burning tho grass in advanco of tho traveling flames, so that after a time the fire had spcr.1 its fury. About ten of fine standing timber were destroyed, and a good deal of fencing wa3 damaged more or less.

Mr. Brush's loss is about $700, and thero is no insurance. The origin of the fire is not ac raunted for. MONDAY EVENING, MAY 11, 1883. TELEGRAMS.
