Mosacrop introduced resolution calling upon Republican representa tives in tho Legislature to scrutinize witu caro an bills Introduced relating to tho laws governing oleo lions iu tho City 01 Brooklyn." Tho resolution wns aimed at tho bill iutroducod In the Legislature yesterday, prepared by Corporation Counsel JenkH, and embodying certain changes In the election laws of Brooklyn recommended by Mayor Chapm iu his brief message to tho Board of Aldermen.

Tho chlof recommendations In the bill woro the dostroy lng of ballots Immodlatoly after they have been canvassed and the extension of the hours of registration und the adding of another day for registration. Iu a lengthy speech Mr. Mosscrop attacked both of those recommendations. Ho declared that oi poriouce had proved that the ballots which aro presorvod are not a "constant mouace and temptation," as claimed by Mayor Chapiu, but that thoir preservation rather aids iu pruvonllng tho perpetration of frauds. Mr.

Mosscrop objected to adding another day for rogistrai ion, as proposed, because it would make the printed rogUt lists of no valuo for tho discovery and prevention of fraudulent registration and consequent illegal votiug. A STOLEN RING Which Was Taken From Dead Woman's Finger. Why Ann Fnnk is Snra of a Pretty Sharp Lecture from Ma83ey When She Comes Ui for Senfcfiiu'e. The thief who will steal pennies from a dead man's oyes found a counterpart last night in South Brooklyn in a woman who stole a ring from a dead woman's Duger.

As soon as tho news of the woman's doath spread about tho neighborhood a number of curiosity seekors flocked to the lodging house.

Amng them was oue gray hairod old woman. She told tho offlcor that sho was ou tlio way lb visit a Mrs. Mol ony who sho said, livod on tho top floor of the house, and asked permission to look at the body with a view of identifying It. Her request was granted. Tho officer had noticed that tho dead woman woro a wed ling ring ou hor loft haud.

When the gray haired woman approached the body ho turned away to keep order at tho door. After a minute or so ho looked around and saw the gray haired woman drawing over tho dead woman's left haud a shawl which the doceasod wore. As soon a3 she had dono so sho slipped hurriedly out of tho room, after saying that sho did not recognize the deceased. Tho officer noticed that sho did not go upstairs to see tho unknown Mrs. Molony, and the oml3siou ex citod his suspicious.

He at one examined tho hands of the dead womau and found that the ring which ho had soen was gone. He then rau after tho gray haired woman. Upon overtaking hor ho accused hor of having stolon tho ring. Sho at first stoutly deniod that sho had done so, pat finally confossed. Tho ring was fouud In hor pocket.

All day long young Indies with anxious looking faces have been visiting tho red brick parsonage which stands noxt to Simpson M. E. Church, on Clormont avenue, near WUloughby. They have geno In looking sad and they havo emerged crying.

Their frloud, Mrs. J. O. Peck, is dead. Crape hangs upon the door.

Tho light has gor.o out of a beautiful face, a kind voice is silent, a gracoful form is still, a mest beuevolout, ouorgotle and loving spirit has gone. Heath came as suddenly as a flash of lightning Bhortly after 3 o'clock yoBtorday afternoon. The day was dark, and Mrs. Peck stayed at homo writing letters and sewing in her parlor. Sho was alono.

'Dr. Peck had gone out, aud tho only othor porson In tho house, a servant, was downstairs. Mrs. Peck wont upstairs to her bedroom, and must havo had a feeling of faintneas. Sho look a cologuo bottle In ono hand aud a handkor chlof iu Iho othor.

Sho left her room to roach tho speaking tube and call hor servant. Just as she stepped luto the hall she fell and diod. A few minutos later the domostlc, who has been with Mrs. Peck for twonty llvo years, ever since hor marriage, fouud her mistross' body lyiug in tho hall. It was cold.

Friends wore summoned immediately. Dr. J. F. Atwood appeared and announced that the lady was dead.

Heart disease was, in all probability, the cause, ho said. The pastor of Simpson M. E. Church returned homo a fow minutes later and found that tho wifo whom ho had an hour before, loving, bright and beautiful and tilled with schemes ot benevo lence, was gono. Amonc all the matrons of Brooklyn thero was none with a brighter personality than that of Mrs.

Peck. Sho combinod tho most charming of feminine graces with a scholarly mind and wisdom and tact. Shewas a pretty llttlo lady, with dark hair, largo, bright, brown eyes, graceful, erect, plump figure, smiling face and a light stop. She was ardently loved by tho young ladies of her class in the church. Her maiden name was Susan Robins, and Bhe was born on February 3, 1810, in the Town of Amherst, being tho daughter of a merchant there, Mr.

Ferdinand Hoblus. Sho was educated at AIL Holyoko and Amhorst young ladles' academy and retaiuod her classical knowlodgo so well that at tho timo of her death sho was busy helping hor youngest sou who is attending college. Dr. Pock became acquainted with hor while he was a student lu Amhorst College. After ho graduated In 1802 they woro married.

Hanson placo Church, Brooklyn; New Haven, Conu. Simpson Church, Brooklyn. In ail those places Mrs. Peck is known to thousands of people who havo fouud hor to bo oue of tho most amiable women who over drew breath, llor disposition was so happy aud cheerful that everybody who knew her will feel as if ho or sho has lost a personal friend. Letters and telegrams ot condolouco pourod in by the score this morning and visitors who brought unfeigned sympathy camo also.

Dr. Talmago was one of the first and most welcome of those. He said very little, Just squeezed Dr. Peck's baud and remarked: I have been there myself." If ho had said more ho loo, would have broken down. The kindest thing that tho thousands of Brooklyn friend.

of the suffering family can do Is to leavo the family alone for a day or two. Tne funeral services will take place in tho church on Friday evening next at und tho Kev. J. M. Buckley, of tho Cin'sfitiu vltiroc afr, will assist.

Whou I asked him ho told mo that tho circumstances of tho assault were these: Tho captain has not, while Ihe voRsel has been lu port, been In the habit of taking his dinner on board. On Sunday he went away and did not say that lie would be back to dinner, lie returned unexpectedly and wout Into the cook's gall oy. No dinner had been prepared for hlro. When ho was told this ho at onco Hew Into a violent passion aud called the cook vilo uamos. Tho latter simply said: 'Captain, you did not say you would waut any dinner.

If you aro not satisfied with mo, pay mo my wages and I will As soon as he said this the captain seized him by tho throat aud bent him about tho face and head. Ho dragged him up the companion way and callod for the third mate. VA'iiilo they wore going up his hoad struck against a beam and ho fell back. That is tho way tho captain received such slight injuries aa he mot with. Then tho unforiuoato oook was seized aud beaten into insensibility.

Tho Chinese Consul has instructed mo to employ Colouel Boocher aud to havo tho caso fully InvBstigateil. Tho Eaoi.e Is entitled to tho thanks of the community for drawing attention to tho assault in tho fair and unbiased way lu which it did."

As announced in the Eagle yesterday the Court of Appeals has reversed the Judgment oi tne lower court In the case of CharleB G. Hoyt against Joseph A. Cross. This Involves a new trial. Mr.

Hoyt had appealed from tho General Term or the City Court, which had sustainod a verdict directed for tho defendant ou the trial of iho caso. He sued to recover J500 on a nolo. The dt t'eiiHO was that II was a gambling debt, and the Court decided that as It was given for tho payment of such a debt th plaintiff could not rocovor. It is this decision which is revorsoa oy tuo court oi appeal Tho caso presents some vory curious featuroft. 1'ho plaiatltT, Charles CJ.

Hoyt, is well known In tho Eastern District and tho defendant. Joseph A. Cross, is a member of tlio lumber linn of Goodwin, Cross Co. One day in August, 181, the exact date cannot bo fixed by eitv.er party, Mr. Hoyt and Mr.

Cross mot at 111 Socond street District and sat down to play cnD'oago. ino game began about 10 o'clock iu the morning ud was kept up nearly all day. When it was coi.ciuuoa Mr. cross imu nioi toyv. enjoyed the game, paid $90 of his losses in cash.

Two or throo days uftor Mr. Hoyt called upon Mr. Cross aud submitting that he was a llttlo snort, saia ho would like the 1500. Mr. Cross declared that ho was a littlo cramped Just then and it wus not convenient to pay.

Ho only had about 5 in change in bla pocket. Finally Mr. Cross suggested that Hoy give the tirm of Goodwin, Cross Co. his note for $500 and tno llrm would havo it discounted and givo him tho money. Mr.

Hoyt assented to the arrangement nud gavo his note for fjOO, receiv ing in return a chock for 10 crose giving him tho diftoreuco lu cash. Tho note was for three mouths. Whou it came duo Mr. Croaa suggested that as It was not convenient Just thon to pay It should be renewed. Hoyt assented and tne note was roueweu.

mis was repeaiuu several limes, uutil finally tho last renewed nolo, given some timo in 18S1, passed into the hands of a third party and Hoyt had to pay It. Meanwhile, In 1SS4, whllo the note was running, Hoyt said to Cross that if ho (Hoyt) wore to die, it would ap pear as if ho owed tho firm of Goodwin, Cross AS Co. 55U0 and he wanted something to shown that ho did not owe them that money. Cross absented to this and gavo Hoyt a demand uoto for $500. Aftor Hoyt had to pay tho renewed note, which had beon permitted to out of the hands of the tlrm, ho sued Cross on tho demand nolo.

Thou it was that Cross sot up tho defense that it was given in payment of a gambling debt, aud therefore. was illegal. Tho caso was tried before Judge Clement aud a jury iu tho City Court, Mr. Jlurr. of Jackson Ilurr, appearing for the planum Hoyt, and 11.

W. Van Vrankeu for Cross. Tho Court directed a verdict, for tho defendant on tho ground that tho original gambling trausactiou vitiated tho demand nolo. Mr. liurr claimed that the fact that the original $500 had boon paid acted a bar to any claim made by tho defense that the demand uoto was uot good.

The Geueral lenu sustained the trial Judge iu dismissing the caso, but at tho Court of Appeals Mr. Burr triumphed, and secures a rovorsal. Mr. Cross will have to pay Hoyt $500. LIFE ON TUB "HOOK."
