1S9D. AT THE BOOTHS. Ballots and Blackthorns Kilkenny To day. at Great Excitement Orcr the Parliamentary Election The Siniggle Jielwesn the Klral Fnciious All Sorts of Rumor and CaiunaiKii Fioorbnclis Firing About. Kilkenny, December 23.

rollinc opened brieklr this moruing, and ever)" liodyis)oiliiiiC forward ton most excitinj day, The presence of the military and a large force ot police Bcattere.l tliroiiliout North Kilkenny saems to be a euaranteo niiaiiiBt any sellouts breach of the peace. Mr. TarnoH and his candidate, Mr. Vincent Scully, arrived upon the ecene at an early hour. The town ia occupied by a body of police and a company of fifty eoldiera.

Mr. Timothy ilealy has just Btarted for Castle Corner, which plaeo, In his opinion, will be the keyetono of tlio light. Strong and enthusia tic continsenta of the snp portera of both tides have arrived at Castlecomor, which poiut other beside Mr. Healy apparently record as being the key to the conatitueuoy. The feeline of a majority of the voters, so far as can be judged by outward appearances this teems to bo auti rarnoll.

A rumor which caused considerable excitement was circu lated duriur the mornm It was to the effect that larco nuinbcr of miners had beon confined in a coal pit in order to provent their votint' Wild threats were soon made by both sides and it was announced that the miners would bo rescued at any cost. An investigation Qf the report, however, ehowod it to bo nothing nioro alarming than a campaign lie, and howls of derision were ex cbanccd between tho opposiuj? parties when it became known that the miners referred to woul.l later in tho day march in a body to the polls. Ab a rule the leading members of both tho Parnollites andMeCarthyites meet and treat each other in a courteous nianuer, but tho same cannot be said of the rank tnd file. Tho latter, in the most good natured manner, may be said to be boiliuc up to a point whero they would liko nothing hotter than a rattline fixe fiuht. As tho mornliift advanced this harmonious state of affairB was somewhat clouded by an alteration which took place betwoon Mr.

Harrlncton and a number of priests. This wordy warfare was occasioned by what Mr. Harrington termed tho priests' interference with voters. Hot words were exchanged on this subjeot and, in spite of Mr. Harrington's protests, tho priests continued the work of influencing voters who were thought to bo loaning toward Parnell.

Mr. Timothy Harrington has issnod a manifesto to the electors, declaring that tho Irish. Americans will never aubmit to tho deposition of Mr. Parnell from the leadership of the IriBO national parly, Tho manifesto, which has been eagerly eizod upon by the friends of Mr. Parnell and his candidate, Mr.

Vincent Scully, now forms the especial feature of the election. Tho priosts later marched to tho polls, amid cheers and counter cheers, at the head of a body of voters. Two prominent farmers from County Dublin, Messrs. Kettlo and Grchatn, both leading mem bors of tho tongue, are doing Bome vigorous and effective work for tho Parnollito candidate. There ib much ill feeling in regard to the action of the prleula in actively and opsnly influencing or attempting to influence voters is classed by the Parnellitos as being deoidedly unfair, and thore 1b already considerable talk of petitioning against the validity of the election in North Kilkenny should Mr.

Scully be defeated. Information has be6n received from Qostlo comer to the effect that Mr. Parnell met with a hostile reception at that placo. It is also stated that the miners are voting solidly for Pope Hennessey. Mr.

Pimell has returned from a visit to the voters of Gowran, He is in the highest spirits and anuonuced that Gowran is going splendidly and that it will poll an almost solid voto for Mr. Scully. Mr. Davitt raised warm objections to allowing Mr. Scully's election bills and campaien costers to appear on the wall of tho Gowran court house, Where the polling is taking plaoo amid much excitement.

Mr. Crllly, M. fetched the returning officer, who ordered Mr. Scully's ulacards to bo removed. Advices from Johnstown stato that Sir Johu Pooe Hennessey's supporters, headed by a num ber of enthusiastic priests, are marching through the streets, thereby causing a eeone of wild ex citement.

By their friends the processionists are greet with cheer upon cheer, while thoir oppon ents roply to these sounijs of sympathy with a chorus of groans. It Was with great difficulty that tho police prevented a Bonons collision be tween the excited factions. Dublin', December 22. Tho Freeman's Journal announces to day that if the Kilkenny eleotors roturn Sir Johu Pope Hennessey they will be playing the gamo of Stead and Hugh Price Hughes and "the crowd of Pharisees." The election of Mr. Vincent Scully, the Journal says, is their one and only chance of Winning home rule, and is also its only chance for the clergy to use their legitimate iufliionco.

l'av noll alone, according to the Journal, has the strength to control certain events of tho Irish agitation in which clerical control is most doeply resented. Mr. Balfour, chiof secretary for Ireland, has de cided to visit Ulster in January, and whilo there will address mass meetings in Belfast. At the various meetings of the Cloyno branches of the national league, yesterday, tho priests, in accordance with the bishop's instructions, requested the people to form leagues independent of the control of tho Dublin exooutivo, whioh, as is well known, warmly supports Mr, Parnell. At wo3tofthe meotiucs referred to resolutions in accordance with the blshop'B suggestions were Rdopted.

London, Docomber 22. A circular just issued informs tho British branohes of the National loaguo that the services of most of tho officials conneoted with such branches will not be needed in the fnturo owina to the present liuancial position of the league. THE 3U. WHO STOLE A HOUSE, ScUoonuiuker Arraigned To day In tlio Court of Srwuions. On Saturday George II.

Schoonruaker was arrested at Nyack, N. on a bench warrant charging him with forgery in the first doeroe. petectivcB Zuadt and Price made tho arrest and Hiis morning Sehoonmaker was arraigned in tho tourt of sessions, but refused to plead to tho indictment. Tho prisoner, who was also known as Jauioa S. plone, has succeeded ever since October 4, 1880, Irhcn the indictment was first found, in Ueepiug out of tho reach of the law.

The charge mode ugniuBt Schoonmaker is the forgery of a deed by which tho houso of one Helen ltobiu Eou, of 093 Lafayette avenue, was conveyed to bis keeping.

This firm was tho virtual loser in Sehooninaker'd transactions, and they accordingly found tlio indictment of forgory against him. Before the police could plaoa him, however, he had fled to Knglewood, N. with his wife.

After flying about New York state for some llttlo time, tlio couple went to Brazil, and he was not located nntil lew days atro when tho oliieers found that he was living on his father's farm at Kysck. lli i wife, who was also arrested with him, was held in Sl.DOO bail by Justice Walsh.

Z. Smith, William Dillon and Frank Fuller, just as tho hostile armies closod. Having beon taken to the Stagg stroet station they were locked up for tho night. The war has been a protracUdone, dating back over a year, the casus belli being the north side of Knickerbocker avenue, which is claimed by either sido as within its territorial limits of occupation. The Dutchtown forces were oommanded by General Heinrich Sauorbrod, of Qraham avenue and Moore street, and the Pioklosvillers by General Andrew Frank, of 1,311 Bushwick avenue.

The warriors, almost all armed with slings, numbered abovo two hundred on each side. The contending forces came within sight of eaoh other on Knickerbocker avenue, betweon Storr street and DeKalb avenue. Tho Pioklesvillors, halting, wero addressed by General Sauerbrod from the roof of a grocery coal bin. He saidi Men of PicklGsville I do not expect that words from mo can impart valor to anyone who lacks it. The enouiy is before us, bnt let the recollections of memorable deeds done by men of Picklesville iu the past stimulate you to tho achievement of greater things this day.

Soldiers, from the cupola of yonder brewery twenty years look down upon you. Tho general then descended from tho coal bin and for a distance of about two hundred feet waved on his followers with a wooden sword. Within about one hnndred feet of one auother the command to fire was given on both sides and in an instant the intermediate atmosphere was dark with the passage of the sling shot missiles. But just as tho lines were about to close the officers hove in sight and instant panic was the result. Standards, slings and other weapons wore abandoned, and with the prisoners named fell into the hands of tho police.

The only damage done was to tho windows of the neighborhood. Justice Goetting this morning seemed at first determined to send the prisoners to tho Fortress of Refuge till they wero 21 years old. but finally let them off with a flno of $5 eaoh. WANTED TO DIE. Henry Stubeia, Sick and De spondent, Attempta Suicide.

While the Doctor Is Writing Prescrip tien He Tries Throw Hinueir From a Second Stsry Window His Mother Holds Ufin Until Help Comas. A thrilling scene occurred yesterday morning on tho balcony of the fire escape at the seoond story, rear, of the building 431 Marcy avenue, a mother and delirious son, the latter bent on de stroying his life, being the principals. The man, who had his hand on tho front rail and was look ing down to tho yard, struggled with the woman to free Jiimsolf, but sho held on to him with all the strength given by her love, while ehe screamed for help. People from lioighboriug houses witnessed the ap palling sceno, but wero powerless to render any assistance. Dr.

Haas, who had boen called to the house for professional advice, gave an alarm and Officer Cochcu hurried to the house. When he realized the situation he ran through the hall to the 'back yard, frightened the mad man back to tho room, caught the end of the fircesoapo and olimbed up. He caught tho man in his arms and foroed him into the room. The man was Henry Stnben. Ho had been sick for timo with typhoid fever and only within the past week was able to leave his bed.

Saturday and yesterday morning he talked a good deal about ids inability to procure work. "I'm tired of doing nothing, mother," he said, to her, calmly, "and I'm going to kill myself." His further conversation was of a sufficiently startling kind to alarm Mrs. Stubon and Bho sent for Dr. Haas. The physician, after making an examination, said ho would write out a prescrip tion and retired to an adjoining room to do so.

Mrs. Stuben followed him, leaving her son alone. She waB startled a moment later to hoar him shout "Goodby, mother," and ran back to find him on tho platform of the fire escape outside the window. She oaught him beforo he had time to throw himself ovor the railing and held him until the arrival of tho officer. At the suggestion of the physician Htubou was taken to tho Sixtoenth precinot station and iockod up.

Justice Goetting held him this morn ing, pending a medical inquiry as to his sanity. TWENTY FOURTH WARD BURGLARS. A Watchful I I. Railroad Employe Interferes Witn Their Calculations.

There re mains a suspicion among many people that some politicians aro interested in the deal, de spite tho omphattc assertion to tho con trary mado by Broker Staples, who engineered the business through. As far as sur taco Knowledge goes, Mr. Btaples and his son in law, E. H. Trocartin, president of the company, own practically all of tho stock whioh tho city has agreed to take off their hands at the rato of $300 a share.

Tho total amount to be paid by the oity is $1,250,000, or $750,000 for stock and $500,000 by assuming that sum in first and second mortgage bonds. Those bonds are in sums of $250,000 oaoh and draw 0 per cent. in. terost. Of course, the city will have to pay the intorest on the bonds, but Mr.

Staples claimB that that should not be included in the amount whioh the city has to pay for the franchise and rights becauso tho works will yiold an income. Oontrollor Jackson, who has had charge of tho papers connected with the transaction, returned to his office to day and gave the reporters acoess to statements which havo boon beforo the pur chasing board.

Firo Marshal Lewis has submitted to Commis ioner Ennis his report of Saturday night's holo caust, at 1,378 Fulton street, by which forty four horses wero burned to death and on whioh there was $1 .000 He says that from ovidonoo taken and an examination of burnt and adjacent property, he arrived at tho oonclusion that the firo originated from a lighted cigar or cigarette thrown among the iooso straw, hay and rubbish in yard adjoining tho stable, which stable, from its dilapidated and filthy condition was totally Unfit to shelter horses and from its boing packed with large Quantities of hay, straw and other combustibles, together with the rubbish, cavo the animals no fighting ch anco whatever or the department any means to save them. Ho derives from this a suggestion that proper laws should be enacted, giving the depart ment jurisdiction over tho storage of combus tibles and rnbbiah which from their inflammable and spontaneous character will evoutually lead to serious loss of property and life.

On Wednesday afternoon William Brown, who lived nt tho corner of Thirty eighth street and Third avonue. fell on the sidewalk at the corner of Columbia and Woodhnll streets. H9 was taken to the Soney hospital and treated for a sprained anklo, but the next day Bright's disease derel oped and later on ho had a violent attach of delirium tremens.

Brawn died in the hospital yes Mr. Beattie Tells Why They Are Not Possible. Tne Hew York Commissioner Before tno Fassett Committee This Morniagr Ho Says Politics MnU bo Kept Oat of the Business. To day's Bcsslon of the Fasaott Goinnilttoo In how lork suddenly revived Intorost in that body. Tho subjoots under investigation wore why the stroots of Now York aro so dirty and how many voters Tammany quartered on tlio Btreot oleau Ing department before tha last election, The surpriso of the session was tho blooming out of Hans S.

Baattio, tho street cleaning commissioner iuto a civil servlco reformer. Tho blossom was not a process unnsBlstod nature, but was brought about by skillful for. lng on the part of Inquisitor Ivius. But Mr. Beattie did odmit in substance that New York would never havo clean stroots under the spoils system of appointing Bwoepern, and Mr.

Ivins is entitlod to credit for tho admission. Commisiioner Beattie, who was tho only wit noss in tho morning, began by producing list of all tho foremon and inspectors and their assistants with the cartnion on the department rolls last fall and a yoar ago. ThoBe oartmon get $3,50 a day for horse, man and wagon, and so far as posslblo, Mr. Beattie, said he preferred cartmen who owned their own plant. He had no list of men who owned scvorsl carts and hired drivers to lease to the city, but could prepare pno.

He said thoso cartnion were appomtod on application of cart ownors "witb recotnmeiidations from all sorts of pooplo." Mr. Ivins tried to find out what proportion of those recommendations oamo from Tammany politielous, but did not suocood particularly well. It was usual, Mr. Boattlo said, for mon who wanted a job in a oity donarttnent to apply to some of their neighbors "who took an interest publio affairs" for a recommendation. He had appointed a groat many men on the reoommeu dation of politioians.

drily. 1 Well. I should prefor not to have it stated in that way," replied the witness, smiling. How many of those indorsora wero aRO clatod with the County Democracy or tho Municipal league was tho noxt question. "I have recoivod suoh indorsements from Dr.

Howard Crosby and Fathor Ducoy; I don't rocall any others," the witness answered. And wero thoir recommendations successful?" "I rathor think Father Ducey's men got any. thing they askod can't remember certainly," was tho answer, "And you have made such appointments on the Ereeouimondatlon of Tammany leaders 7 asked Mr. Ivins, qniokly. "Oh, yes," was the listless response, On tha quoatioij whether foremon wre ap nintea for Tammany, it was shown that Beattie as appointed twenty one foremen during his term, sixteen of them by promotion and live by new appointment, and that all these had been ou fegular oivil sorvica examination aud certifiea ion, The sixteen promoted men wero raiset rom $750 to $000 a year and no assistant won oro ippouitoq tnejr puoes.

Home i ara temporarily aotin.g as for ippropriation oan bo obtained to paid inoroaso tho 1st oi iqrouieji, Tljesa men do pot have to submit to a civil ervico examination, and heir anoointmont violated Mr. Ivius thoiicrht the civil service law, There was an Hxtl'ft iLtinrn priation early in the month and seventy five to pno hundred and twenty five carts and five lundred or six hundred broom men were lured olean un after the snowstorm. Thn broom mon gamo from an Italian ageuay, the ugeut was paid $1, HQ a day in a lump for them, aud tha carta wero taken whni svor they could lay hands on thorn, There aro 337 broom men on the regu lar foroo and 300 miles of paved streot to bo cleaned, When Mr, Beattie took oflioo thore wero fifty sweeping machines, mostly out of repair, and ho had spent all the money ho could got on now machines, Jjo machines, however, could properly sweep oobblq pavement, and thoy were so powerful that they mado dust and nuisanoo on asphalt pavomenta. Tho block system of stroet cleaning would be preferable, "If you didn't believe in machine system why did you bny new machines?" Mr, Ivin asked. "We have to work with the system imposed on us until wo can get money for something better," was the cautions auswor, "What impedimenta wore thrown in your way to prevont your cleaning the stroets was asked, Mr, Boattlo They wero not thrown iu my way, but they, wore thore, and they soemed to bo dictated by private Interests rather than for tho good of the sorvice, No effort has been made In good faith to put tho Btreot cleaning on a business basis liko tbo firo department and tho police.

lvlnsAnd yet yon have incompetents Ir, Beattie I don't say that. What I mean is this, Wnen the snow storm came we had to tako on anybody, beoauso wo had no reserved force. Tho witnoss also thought that a plant of carts and tools owiiod by tho department and money onongh to pay men for full days instead of three quarters would improve tho sorvico.

Ihe wituosB further oxplaiued that romovals in his dopartmont wero not made on political recommendations, and ho did not mean to be understood as saying that a man ought to own his plaoe absolutely, but that the tenuro of a laborer ought to bo as secure as that of his chief while ho did his work proporly. nALSTEAD PASSES ANOTHER.

A Philadelphia Firm Joins the Number of the Forjrer'H Victims. Auother fraudulent check, drawn by James E. Halstead, whoso previons forgeries havo been noted in tho Eaole, was recoivod at the Commercial bank this morning. It was iBBued apparently on Decembor in and in favor of Robert W. Gleason for the amount of $10.

Tho paper as usual boro tho stamped words, "Certified Decembor ID," and sigued A. Mead," iu red ink, The forger even fortified himself from detection by tiBing a safety stamp over tho number of tho oheok in order to prevent any alterations, and suroharged the imprint with two red dashes having the totters Band Con each sido. Thoso precautions made the chock appear good, and Halstead had little difficulty, it seems, in seounug the moiioy on it. The name of Robort W. Glensou was written on tho back, in a hand which bears a strong similarity to tho othor signatures.

It was then indorsed, "For deposit to our credit. Dempsey Haly," and deposited by them iu the Independence national bank, of Philadelphia, showing that Halstead had worked upon the orodulitv of tho firm with some offoct. Tho National bank of the Republic, of New York, next franked it, and sent it to the Commercial. The officials here, having become accustomed to seo these worthless piecoB of Halstead's paper, promptly labeled it "Fraud" with a blue pencil and returned it to the last indorsee According to the law, Dempsey A Haly will be compellod to meet the check. Tho fact that the checkB have been caBhed in Now York, Jersey City and Philadelphia proves that Halstead is gradnally withdrawing from the East and is making his way toward the West, wliero he announced some time ago that ho was going.

He Will Give $125,000 for a Heatquar tors, on tho Chittenden Lota, if $100,000 be Raised ns an Endow ment Fund by nly 1, 1801 An Advisory Cooperative Committee of Representative Men. On November 9, Suuday, the Eaolb contained a statomout of the work and needs of the Young Women's Christian Association.

The story showed that from the organization meeting of tho association February 13, 1888, Hi work has beon practical and progressive. Over two hundred women workors Joinod thqn, and the number of them is now over one thousand aud crowding on twelve hundred. Threo rooms were taken in the Johnston bnildiug, at the Junction of Fulton stroet and Flatbush avenue, at first. Three more havo since been taken, aud tho classes are now deprived of necessary accommodations, many of them having to crowd over into tho halls and corners. There are women classes in penmanship, spoiling, grammar, composition, cooking, plain sowing, dressmakers' training, dressmaking, history, travol, embroidery, arithmetic, bookkeeping, French, German and millintry, calis thonics, stenography, typewriting and advanced sewing.

A vast amount of industrial and practical information is thns brought within the roaoh of many who could not otherwise get it. Tho ages of tho pupils ranee anywhere from 15 'to 60. It not only teaches women how to work, but how to do tho work whioh they have partially learned and to which they havo devoted their lives, bettor than thoy did it before. Additional to tho industries named, should be considered tho training class for Invalid nurses, recently inaugurated. The profession of nursiug is a great avonue of industry for women, as all know now.

Then there aro classos, elomontary and advanced, in cooking, as woll as in all the oihor industries named. Additional to this is tho employment bureau, with its manifold work. Ovor forty threo teachers, of whom only eight are paid, tho others being devoted expert volunteers, havo hadlchargo of tho manifold forms of education and of help which the development of tho purposes of this association: assumes. Among the earliest and moBt offectivo helpers of this work was the lato Helen Ogden Wood, tho wife of Mr. CD.

Wood, of this city. A fow wooks ago an incidental illness, of which no fatal consequence was at all approhondod, suddenly removed her from the oarth. The association had been very dear to her as a practioal, kindly, onor geticand administrative philanthropist. In her it lost ouo of its wisest advisers and most industrious laborers. This good woman died at just the time whon the association's need of a permanent headquarters, long manifest, had become urgent.

Thoso to whom her life was a blessing and a Joy and her death a Bupreme sorrow were not unaware of the noarness of the association and of the welfare of working womanhood to her unselfish heart. A result of that knowledge on their part and of their reverence and love for hor sacred memory is seen in the following letter made publio for tho first time in the Eagle today: Mrs. Charles N. Juason, President of the Young lromsn's Christian Association of Brooklyn: Mt Deab Mns. Judsos To your mind and to the mind of auyono who has watched the re markablo growth of the association over which you preside and knows something of the present proportions of tho work, it must Do evident that the time has come for the oreotion of a building to moot the present and future needs of tho association.

It is no Ionizer an experiment. Its foun. dations ore broad and deep. The three years of its ntstory navo proved that it has been, and will continue to bo a grand and permanent force in promoting tho temporal, mental, moral and spiritual wolf aro ot tho young women and 'working girls of this city. An offer is hereby mado to giro the sum of $125,000 to orect a building on tho lots now owned by the association on Schormorhorn street.

This sum will be paid to a oommittee of the advisory board duly authorized to receive it, as soon as an additional sum of $100,000 is secured theradditional sum of $100,000 to constitute ati endowment fund for the Young Women's Christian Association of Brooklyn, to do invostod py tue auvisory Doaru ana neiu in truBt tor the benefit of tho association, the income only to bo applied in payment of tho ordinary expenses. The value to an institution of an endowment iuua, or wnicn tuo income win wnoiiy or in part meet current espouses, is so generally admitted mat tnis condition will not seem unwise or onerous. The oiler of the sum named in the loregolng ror the building will bo limited to nly 1, 1891, iu the belief that by that timo a generous public will have responded to the appeal for the endowment fund. This gift is made to honor a lifo of oharitr and of love by husband and children. In memonam of one who was a friend of working girls, who rejoiced wuen tins association was organized, who labored for it and had faith in the grand woru it wouia accompnsn.

sincerely yours, C. D. Wood, 880 St. Mark? avenue, Brooklyn, N. De cemDer 18, 1890.

The land on which the bnllding, the money to pay for which to thus provisionally offored, will stand is already tho property of tho association The land was given to tho association by tho late Simeon B. Chittenden when he was on his death bed. It was the last of many benefactions whioh marked his splendid lifo for education, liberty, humanity, manheod and charity. It is bellevod that tho one condition of the noble offer of Mr. 0.

D. Wood for himself and his ohildron, the pro vision of an endowment fund of $100,000, where of the income will go to tho maintenance of the work of the institution, will be gladly and qulok ly contributed by tho people of Brooklyn. On Sat urday night a proposition to become the advis ory committe af tho association, for tho pur pose of recoiving contributions to this endowment fund, and for the purposo of oarrying out tho ob ject of Mr. C. D.Woods' offer was made at the Hamilton club to the following citizons.whosejao ceptance of tho duty it cannot be doubted will bo oheerfully commanded: Seth Low, D.

W. Mc Wiliiams, T. J. Backus, 0. N.

H. Male, Thomac E. Stillman, Johu Truslow, H. J. Morse, Johu Claflin, Q.

0. Braokott, Willis L. Ogdon and C. I). Wood, This is as far as the preliminary arrangements have gone.

The work of systematically appealing to tho public and of providing a modium or mediums for the re ception and acknowledgment of contributions to the endowment fund wi'l quickly follow. It is a work in which all who can will rejoice to tako part. Tho actual membership of tho entire associa tion, according to the last annual report, was 1,070, consisting of 54 life mombors, 299 bus taining members, 404 active members and 019 associate members, the latter being those for whom tho work of tho association is especially designed. During the year coverod by that an nual report 531 new associate members were accepted. Tho nationalities represented wero as follows: 304 Americans, 43 English, 38 Germans, 15 Irish, 12 Canadians, 10 Scotch, 8 Swedes, 4 West Indians, 4 Danes, i Nova Sen tiEtns, 1 Norwejrfan, 1 African.

Of thoso women 339 were between the ages of 15 and 25, 110 between 25 aad 85, 51 between 35 and 45 and 25 over 45 years of age. Of married there wero 00, of widows 20 and of siugle women 451. More than half of the number wero bread winnors, of whom 50 worked in faotories, 44 as dressmakers, 29 as saleswomon, 27 as sten ographers, 10 as toachors, 17 as seamstresses, 10 as domestics, 12 as tolegraph and telephone operators, 10 as clorl3, 9 as type writers, 9 as atudonts, 7 as housekeepers, 0 as compositors, 0 as nurses, 0 as bookkeepers, 5 as cashiers, 5 as milliners, 3 aa copyists, 2 S3 socretanes and eaoh as governess, storekeeper, companion, embroiderer, correspondent, jauitroas, proof reader, matron, boarding house keeper and manicure. Of tho 237 of whom no occupation was specified Rome wero fitted to bo wage earners and desired employment, others wero helpers in their own homes and many wero still at school. Tho same statistics relatively apply to tho mom bership pressing on the association bofore aud sinae these classified figures were obtained.

Tho work of tho association constantly increases. Its needs likewise increase. Its field is as broad as the area and its wards as numerous as the womanhood or Brooklyn. This year $0,000 were secured from various channels to pay the expenses of the work. With land its own, with a building to be its own, and solely conditioned on the Bocuring of an endowmont fund, of whioh tho income Will meet tho ordinary wants of the association, the future of the enterprise cannot but bo regarded as auspiciouB, just as its work has beon and is benien.

Hit. ROBLIN DECLINES TnE GALL. Ho Will Plot Come to tho Chnrch of Oar Father. Tho Rev. J.

S. Eoblin, of, Grand Rapids, who was rocently called to tho vacant pnlplt of the Umversalist Church of Our Father, has de clined the call. Mr. Itoblin is young man and a graduate of St. Lawrence university.

His reasons for declining the offer scorn to be a feeling that his genius as an organizer is greater than that as a pulpiteer; aud also that the oali, coming from a majority instead of all tho church mem bers, might make the opportunity less agroeable than anticipated. This last reason the friends of Mr. Itoblin are endeavoring to efface, as the society is too united to be long disturbed by elec tion excitement. It is therefore possible that an effort may bo made to induce Mr. Itoblin to reconsider his decision.

If this is not possible candidates will be heard and another choice made DID NOT INVESTIGATE. Ko Witnesses (or the Supervisors' Com mittee. The investigating committee, of which Super visor Watson is chairman, met this morning to hear further evidence, but thore wore no witnesses. Chairman Watson announced that Justice Sutherland was nervously prostrated, that the oonstable of Gravesend had gone South and that the assessor declined to appear before the com mittee. Tho committee thereupon adjourned.

Counselor Boderick, who appears for the town of Graveseud, denies the committee's right to compel evideneo concerning town assessments, but the committee will pass upon that question on Wednesday. 15 TBPDDJiE Ilf I.ONS ISLAND CITY.

His brother in law being United States attorney general cave him a nrnatic which ho lined to raise money from evervonn he met. He brought to this itv with him a charming young wifo. who.

whiln living with her family a good one of Englaud had some business to transact with ono of tho public oilices at Washington. She sent her photograph to Washington, as it wa i needed for the purpose of identifying her. It fell into Hughes hand and he ivroto her a semi official letter, in which ho expressed a willingness to hasten her bnsiness whioh had linf.h dragging lire for a long time. Her photograph ahowod her to he an exceptionally woman. Hughes courted her throiuii ilia mails and sho eventually camo to Washington and wai marriod to him jul beforo he ca no to Brooklyn.

Ho was to receive por cent, nf tho nmot Collected and Was to Dav from hiu nnrlinn alf tho expense of collecting.

Ha" using tho machinery of the "ovfrrnnnnk to do tho work ho was supposed to do, and by thin the government lost nearly $500, 000. District Attornoy Teuney prosecuted tho case. Secretary Tracy defendod it.

The indict; ment was quashed on a technicality, but a committee of the house of representatives, of which Charles Foster, since governor of Ohio, was chairman, denounced Sanborn and his crow. Attornoy General Williams was removed from offloo and tho contract was forfeited, rrnli played an important part in tho trial, and he was shown to have worked to defeat the ends of justice. Although he was tho assistant of District Attorney Tenney ho was provod guilty of oarrying to San born information of every moi a thil w3 made in Tenney's office. For this bo was dis LiiuBed. Ho then had plans laid to have Tenner removed that he might suoceod him.

Meanwhile he had been oleote.l mayor. Ho' told his wifo ho was divorced last Octobor and then married the typewriter. Heporters learned' that no such divorce was granted, and they tha fury of tho people of Fort Worth was arousod.

In' vain the mayor stated that the divoreo was rotm. ino and at last ho was convinced that boon defrauded. Ho is a lawyer and was completely taken in by Ilughcs. His wifo sued for divorce and it was granted. Ho gave his wlfn" $40,000 and left himsolf penniless.
