A Communication from the Secretary of the Brooklyn Board oi Health upon the Siiuject SufrsreBtingr that the Gravesend Authorities Take Prompt Action to Stop the Foliation of Sheepgliead Bay.

A mooting of tho Gravesend Board of Health was held at onojr Island, last night, Supervisor Mckane presiding and Justices Mc MihOn, Williams, 'storms, Wiokham and Health Officer Dr. Van Kleek being in attendance. After the transaction of some routine bualnoas( Seorotary Wickbain, at the roqueat of tho ohair, road the following communication from Henry A. La Fotra, eeorotary of the Board Of Health of this city. The letter, wbioh explains itself, was wrltton at the lnstonoe of Supervisor McKane AN OFFICIAL CONDEMNATION.

Brooklyn, July 20, 1881. Bon. John Y. McKane, rretident Board of llealth, Gravesend Sib Pursuont to your request on the 12th inat I msdo an extended examination of tho nuisanoe caused by the emptying of the Manhattan Beach sewers Into tho wators of Sheepsboad Bay, and havo tbe honor to submit tbe following report thereon All the sewago from the large hotels and tho population (varying from 10,000 to 100,000 peoplo) of Manhattan Beach is carried easterly to a point perhaps half way betweon the Oriental Hotel and the infot, where it is discharged direct into Sheenehead Bay through a wooden trunk about three feet by six feet, projecting iuto tho boy 150 feet at low tide. Tha place of empty ing Is a covo on the south side of the bay, with an indenture iuto the beaoh of two or three hundred feet.

Tho depth of wator at the mouth of the sewer Is from about six feet at high to one foot at low tide. The lower half of the mouth of tho eewor is olosed with a gate, which Is theoretically kept shut except when the tldo Is flowing out of tho bay, whon it la Bald to be opened, that the twelve hours' accumulations in the sewer, since the last tide, may flow through tho bay and out the inlet into the ocean. The question to bo determined is whothor the immense amount of filth proceeding from Manhattan Beach ia bo disposed of or not. If it Is not, that settles the matter, for thero can be no two opinions aa to the results that must follow its deposit In the bay. My first examination waB made during low water.

Tho sewage wan then escaping from the trunk In large quantities through a break several feet from the end and also under the bottom of tho gate. Upon the top edges of the sides of the trunk (the top being open for a diatance of nvo or Blx feet trom the end) were lodged cecal doposlts and other solid ovidencos that the sewor had beou discharging itsolf at its own will, Irrespective of the state of the tide. The bottom of tbe bay whore this aowor now discharges was formerly of sand. Around the mouth of the sewer is now a deposit over the sand of nearly a foot In depth, extending at a gradually decreasing depth perhaps two hundred fett. An examination left no doubt as to the naturo of this deposit.

It was dearly fiscal matter, mixed with sower refuse of all kinds, and was EXCEEDINGLY OFFENSIVE. During my presence the gate at tbe mouth of tho trunk was opened, that tho oourse of the solid matters might be observed. After liberating a sufficient quantity to covor tho surface of the cove, the gate was closed and the Biirfaco allowed to beoome Btil). Its course was affected more by the wind than tbe tide. Tha lighter portion of It was carried along the Manhattan Beach side of the bay as far west as the Oriental.

The remainder gradually settled toward the mud below. In half an hour the tbickenod portions had boen covorod by an inch or more of the oleur water of tho bay, and it gradually found its way to Its compaulon filth already upon the bottom, but was disturbed at the slightest agitation of tho water, aud rose to be transported either way by current, tide or wind. Iu visiting tho mouth of this sewor at a later hour, when tbe tide had risen two or three feet, I found that tbe trunk had become so far filled from the hotels aa to overflow the gate, and tho contents of every description wero uninterruptedly discharged and oarried up the hay by the Incoming tide. I'oical matter was found nearly at the hoad of the bay, and at different places upon tha sideB both upon the sandy bank and lodged In tho sedges. The odors from the mouth of tho aewer from the floating sewage, and from tha deposit about tbe sewer and upon the shores were far roaobing and offensive.

The, following statements of the condition of this matter cannot be gainsaid. Sewage from the Manhattan Beach sewer is discharged in largo quantities into Sheepshead Bay, and at all hours deposlts of sewage have been formed in the bay, in some places to the depth of a foot the sewage Is carried up tbe bay upon its enrf aoo and deposited along ita banks the stench arising therefrom and from ths sewer itself is offensive and detrimental to health. The final effect of this conditioner affairs uponyonr beautiful bay, if allowed to continue, need not be commented upon. Portions of tho southerly side of the bay adjacent to Manhattan Beach havo already been by theso deposits of sewago placed boyond redemption except by the operation of a dredging machine, and if the fiBb supplies of tho Manhattan Beach and Oriental hotels are taken from those waters as recently stated by the proprietor of the Kcw York Herald, I think it is your duty to move promptly for the protection of their gueats. The filthy condition of the bay at these portions of its southern side will extend until the en tire shores become foul and disgusting, and the water itself will not be purified by the ocean tides.

Sheepshead Bay has no through and through current. The tide flows in and out and not through It. The service of Its tides is vory similar to the tides of Newtown and Bush wick creeks and Gowanua Bay, in thla city, as they formerly existed. Filth thrown in them rises upon the incoming tide and falls or ia thrown upon their banks as the tide recedes, but Is not always carried out or away. These bodies of water have become elongated cesspools, and the experience of the Brooklyn Board; of Health with them should be warning to tho authorities of your town against permitting the'eommencement of a practice which can lead toward similar pollution.

The protection of the health of the hundrods of thousands of people who visit the attractions of your beaches and bays demands the most vigorous measures on your part. There is but one remedy tor tha nuisance upon which you havo requested my report, and that is ths discontinuance of tbe emptying of the sewage into the bay. It cannot by any posslblo means be so delivered that it will flow to tho ocean and leave the bay unpolluted. The sewage from the beaoh hotels oan easily be disposed of otherwise inoffensively, and measures to thla end cannot be too promptly enforced. Vory respeolfully, H.

A. LaFktba, Bocratary Brooklyn Board of Health. STOBMS ASKING FOB DELAY. Justice Storms submitted that aa the latter referred only to Manhattan Beach, there was evidently some animus on tbe part of tbe writer. He asked that no action be taken until the Health officer of tho town had mad a full report of tha sewerage of the whole island.

He woe disposed to treat all bands alike, but did not want to see Manhattan Beaob singled out. Justice MoMahon reminded Justice Storms ahat the Health officer had already been instructed to make an examination of the whole beach in connection with sewerage. Dr. Van Kleek said he was engaged in auoh a task, and asked permission to report progresa. Justice Storms begged for delay, and aaked that no aotion be taken for a week.

Justice MoMahon deolarod that if action was not promptly takeu nothing would be accomplished this season. The chair said that Mr. LaFetra had been aiked to make tbe examination which formed the basis of bis letter simply because he had no interest either way, and also beoauao of his large experience in suoh matters and hla high character as an official. Tho chair deolared that until the communication had been read to the board he knew nothing of its contents. On motion of Justice MoMahon, the letter waa received and entered upon tbe minutes.

Supervisor McKane. who has been authorized to employ counsel to prosecute ths Manhattan Beach authorities, roported that counsel had been engaged and that the proper papers were now being prepared, SUMMER IN EUROPE. Deaths In Paris from Sunstroke and I.iirhtnina; Dust in Fog fry Clouds. Suffering; lit Berlin The Heat Almost Unendurable. Londok, Jnly 21.

The weather this morning is eool, clear and very pleasant There has baen no rain here, but there waa some in Paris again last evening, causing much relief, and the atmosphere ia agreeably cool. There were throe deaths from sunstroke In Paris on Tuesday. The director of the Observatory declares that there is no authentic rocord of suoh heat Two deaths from lightning ocourred near Argenta i. Twenty five hectares of the forest of Fierrefeu, in the Department of the Var, were burned, and two ohildren perished in the rumen. The municipality of Paris jisj voted 2,200,000 francs for the Improvement of the water works.

Colonel Knox, in a letter from Paris dated yesterday says: "In all my visits to Paris this is the worst Summer by far I have ever known. Old residents say they havo never seen its like. I have made no calls and ventured on no business I could possibly postpone. AU my faoultlea have been devoted to trying to keep cool. On Tuesday the thermometer touched 101 degrees in tbe shade, and it has been 06 to 98 degrees nearly every day since the 10th Inst.

The Bun baB been awful, and horses and men have wilted. The atreeta have been scantily washed and Sprinkled same of them not at all." The duat rises in foggy olouda, and bad emails fill the air Indoors and outdoors. If Paris escapes an epidemic it will be lucky. There are very few Amerioan tourists here, All who could, hare gone seeking a oooler spot, It la Bald that the wheat and other crops are Buffering from the heat, and that in the absence of rain the product will be muoh below thaWtff last year. General Noyce, who has been in Brlttanyrlth hla family, ia expooted back to morrow.

He leaves for home as soon as Mr, Morton, his Bucoeiior, arrival here. Bxblin, July 31. The heat hero on Tuesday and Wednesday was almost intolerable, and several cases of sunstroke oeaucred. A violent thunderstorm on Wednesday evening brought some relief, A SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER. A man giving his name as Robert Elliott, of Ho.

Passage of tho Congressional Vacancy Bill in the Assembly A Special Election to Pill Vacancies to be Called Id all Cases.

Special to the Eagle. Albany, July 21, 1881. Tha free canal resolution, which has been defeated twice in the Senate, was paased upon tho third attempt to day by a vote of eighteen to twelve. It must be passed by the Assombly before It can be of avail. The Govornor returned to tha Assembly, without ap.

tho bill to regulate the standard of illuminating oil. lie considers It unconstitutional as it creates of fices prohibited by ths organlo law. Tho measago was tabled. The bill providing for grading Ninth and Garnet atreeta, between Hioka and Columbia streets, Brooklyn, was passed. Tho bill to provide for filling vaoanoles in the otfico of Representative iu Congress, came up for consideration.

The question pending was ou Mr. Dayton'a motion to insert the following "Provided, however, if there is more than one va canoy, the order or proclamation shall include all vaoanoles." Mr, Potter moved to ohanga the word "may" to "aholl," ao as to mako it mandatory upon the Governor to ordor an eleotlon. Messrs. McCarthy, Penney, Cohen and other Demoorate opposed the bill, claiming that it was entirely unnecessary as a party measure, and even as auoh it would not be of any consequence, After returning from the joint convention the question was first taken on Mr. Dayton's amendment to include all vacancies, and it was adopted.

The question was then taken on Mr. Patterson's motion making it mandatory on tho Governor to otll apeolal elections whioh was also adopted. The bill waa then passed and tho Assembly adjourned. Sieacoal. MUNICIPAL.

An Assessment Question of Interest to the Churches. Shall Vacant Lots Owned by Eeligiong Communities be Assessed I Opening the Bridge Street Bath The City's Water Supply Commissioner French's Return Drodginir the River Slips An In teresting License Suit. The Board of City Assessore rocently decided to place a valuation upon suoh ohurch property as was not exempted by law from taxation, in ordor that it might bear a proportionate share in tho burden of oity expenses. ThiB determination was the cause of a brief but entertaining discussion at the mooting of ths board this morning on the subjeot of assessing ohurob parsonages, this being the first year that they have not been exempt aa ohuroh edifices are. There are attached to the Roman Catholic Church of our Lady of Victory, corner of Throop avenuo and MoDonough street, a parsonagi and eevoral vacant lots.

The house and lands are s'eparated from the church by a fence. In making thelt valuations the Committee of the Board of Assessors aisessed the parsonage at $7,000 and the adjoining lots at 6,500. Theso valuations were opposed by the Rev. l'ither P. Creigh ton, pastor of the church, who assorted that ths par Bonage was a plain brick building that oould easily bo reproduced for $4,000, and that the asseisment was, accordingly, unfair and excessive.

Father Creighton insisted, that with regard to the vacant lots, no assessments should be levied, inasmuoh as they are exemptod under the law, being held by the Blshof of tho diocese in trust for real church purposes. At the meeting thla morning Asseaor Kurth, who had been appointed to review the matter, roported iu favor of reducing ths assessment on tlio parsonage to $6,900 and that upon the vacant lots to 45,970. The report, so far as it was concerned, was adopted, hut a difference of opinion was expressod as to whether the vacant lots were devoted strictly to religious purposes, Assossor Benjamin B. Hopkins said he doubted whether any assessment of the lots would be valid. It bad been hojd In the cose of the Convent of the Sacred Heart, in Now York, that vacant lots were exempt when used for a recreation ground or even a kitchen garden.

Under all the circumstances, Assessor Hopkins believed tho lota belonging to the Churoh of Our Lady of Victory should also be exempted. President TruBlow said that from what he had heard, he believed there was consldarablo din'oreuce between the two caaoB. At tho convent, irhlch had been referred to, it had. been ahown tlitt the grounds were used aa part of. an Incorporated academy as a recreation ground and a Wtchjir tjj'jjjaitia case or the Churoh of Our Lady of Victory, it had been shown that there was a distinct separation on the coat side of the parsonage, between tho church and the lots.

He oalled attention further to tho fact that' the lots and tho church belonged to one organization. The board, after some disousslon, determined to refer the matter to President Truslow with power to consult with the Corporation Counsel with regard to the matter, anil report baok to the board, THE BRIDGE STREET BATH OPENED. Tho publlo bath at the foot of Bridge street was opened to the people this morning, for' the first time this Summer. The delay in opening the hath waa due to tbe dispute between the city authorities and the Messrs. Poillon, concerning the ownership of the dock at the foot of Bridge street.

Tbe fact that the bathing place was ready for tlio perspiring multitude to day was not kept long In the shade, and by noon it looked as if all the gamins of the Fifth and Socond wards had congregated to enjoy a plunge in the cool, soft water that rippled within the inolosuro. The Utile ohaps, aud aome bigs one, toe, romped and splashed about in high glee, filling the water with bubbles and tha air with shining spray. Some surprising aquatic feats were performed in the water, They dived from the spring boards, and, bobbin? ap as serenely as frogs in a rural stream, they proceeded to make Bomersaulte and cart wheels in the water, snd out up all manner of antica. The keeper at times found it necessary to impose a mild restraint upon aome of tha lads, but for the most part they were well bthared, and as proud of the pleasures they were enjoyiug as a lot of young ducks out on their flrat awlm. The baths at the fhot of Conover street, Red Hook Point, and North Sixth street, Kastera Distrlot, have been open about thne weeks.

Tbey hare been visited by large numbers of people, and to day, owing to the unexpected rise in the temperature, the rush to them waa greatly inoroastd. There were 19.476 bathers at the North Sixth strait bath last week. Of the number there wore 4,451 adult males, 2,122 adult females, 10,202 were boys and 2,070 were girls. The bathing at tbe Conover atroet batlt last week was enjoyed by 11,193 bathers, comprising 2,050 adult males, 600 adult females, 7,493 boys and 1,050 girls. The coat of the pub lio hatha last Summer, including repairs, was only $8,101.98.

The batbers during the season numbered 430,148, and the cost was but 1 86 100 per cent, per head. THE WATER SUPPLY. Under the direction of Water Purveyor Milne, tho inspectors of tho Department of City Works have resumed ths work of Inspecting houses and manufactories in order to ascortalu if the taps are in proper order, and whether the number of fauocta corresponds with records ol the department, The work was prosecuted ttotlvoly lost season; when 20 per cent, of the houses examined ware found to be defective. It is rumored that Commissioner French intends making an offort to enlarge the force oi Inspectors aa tha time for the Fall oampalgn draws near. The City Works, Department has awarded the contract for the iron water supply pipes required for the extension of the elly's water facilities to R.

Many reeldenta of the Thirteenth Ward, who reoMva their aupply from thla aouroe, complain that they are unable to obtain water on the nsoond floora of their houses during a large portion of the day. Water Parveyor Milne aaya that the new main, added to the old, will furnish an abundant aupply to all parte of the Thirteenth Ward. The new main will be laid aa soon as the plpo oan be reoelved.

John A. Murphy, who for several years has been employed aa ticket agent at East New York for the Manhattan Beach Railroad Company, on TuOBday morning last disappeared with several hundred dollars of the oompany's money, and it 1b a disputed question whether he has defaulted or whether he has met with an acoldent. Several of Plnkerton's detoctlves who havo been employed by Mr. Corbiu are inclined to bo Jleve tbe latto'r theory, beoauao he frequently ou Run days receives over a thousand dollars, and if he desired to. default be could have taken that day's receipts instead.

Mnrphy for a long time has been In delicate health, suffering from hemorrhage of the lungs. He has been advised to go to Canarslo "in tho mornings and enjoy the air before he opened his office. On Tuesday morn ing ho arose about three o'clock. Mre. Firmbach, the lady who has charge of the hotel where he resided, heard him and asked him whero he was going.

He Bald he had eonoluded to see what relief ho oould obtain from Canarslo air and he would return In time to open the office. When ten o'clock came he had not returned and fears for his safety ware entertained. Tbe office was broken open but he was not there, and none of the roturns of the previous day. Since then the detoctlves have been endeavoring to find the missing man, but without success. They fear that he may havo been drowned at Canarslo.

THE JIM JAMS. How They Afflicted a Prisoner at Crow Hill. He Holds Court in the Short Term Wiiiff and Vindicates the Majesty of tho Law. A Young Man who Forgot that he was Married Four Arrivals at tho Peulten tiary. There were four arrivals at the Pea itentinry, yesterday afternoon.

They were escorted to that frowning institution by Mr. Joseph Evans, a gentleman who haa ao long presided over the destinies of the Black Maria, that he ia now Justified in regarding It as his own private property. Mr. Fvaua' trotters had soarcely yet begun to make themselves at home in tho prison yard when the festive four fouud themselves facing Mr. Green.

A more remarkable quartet never confronted a Pen! tentlary warden. To the left of the line stood a oolored lady, who frankly confessed that she bad already reaohed the mature age of 17. She wore at a vory rakish angle a black straw turban, as Innocent of feathers aa it waa of shape, favoring it with a vicioua twlat as ahe announced her entire willingness to be strloken dead if her 18th birthday was not yet to come. Beside her stood a fat, little man, with a wild look in his eyes and a nervous tremor pltifni to see. To tbe right of him was a lady who nodded familiarly to Mr.

Green, trusted that his health was unimpaired, answered his questions with businesslike proolslon and marched over to the female wing with the air of anything hut a stranger. The gentleman who made up the quartet was not au perflously dressed. He wore two articles of clothing; coat, vest, hat and collar, aa well as shoes and stookings having apparen tly DISAPPEARED WITH Hr8 FREEDOM. "You're in a very presentable condition," said Mr. Green.

'There's nothing liko taking it coolly," said tho prisoner, as he told tbe warden that he was a single man, and then oorrectod bis mistake by adding "Exouse me, Governor, I meant to say I have a wile." The warden admitted (hat it was natural for a man to be forgetful about such things. It was not to be expected that a man could possibly remember overytbing. He would do the prisoner's wife the honor of making a note of her existence. This wound up the ceremony observed in such cases, aud then Mr. Evans resumed hia seat behind his prancing steeds Mr.

Green was about to resume the occupation wbleh tho advent of the prisoners had disturbed, when a hall man rushed in and announced that the fat little man was making trouble. He hurried out in time to find that tho short term wing had been turned Into a court room, with the fat little man as presiding justice. Hs was standing on a bench and had Just performed tho melancholy duty of Bonteuclng a oonvlct to imprisonment for thirteen hundred years. It was apparent that nothing but the most outrageous provocation could have Induced him to vindicate the majesty of the law at such a tlmo. Some one had lnformod him that ho muat tako a bath, a revolting intimation which was not to be endured.

"He's got tho jim jams," Bald a prisoner to the war don, as the exolted little man called up the next case. It was Mr. Green's turn. "Bring him up here; seize him, officer, but don't hurt him. I'll polish him off.

I'll teach him to INSULT THE DIGNITY OF THIS 00UBT. We've bad enough of this. Give him a batb, give him a bath that'll fix him. What's the charge 7" At this point a keeper pulled hla Honor off tbe bonoh in the most unceremonious manner. Wrought to the highest pitch of frenzy the little man declared that he would have them aU hung.

He became so violent that he asserted that he waa conducting himself in a manner highly unbecoming sa oxalted a functionary. This quieted him a littlo but no one was anxious to got Into close quarters with him. From bead to foot he was a specimen of unqualified filth, a circumstance which utterly preoluded the possibility of his being roughly handled, "Get him Into a con," aald the warden, "and let the doctor see him. Never mind tbe bath just now." The little man was finally indueed to refrain from the further performance of judicial functions. He ia a aelf committed prisoner, whose only hope of salvation was a sentence for habitual drunkenness, and he got into tho Penltontiary not a day too soon.

A littlo inquiry in the case of the youth not superfluously attired brought to light the fact that immediately after he had been convicted of shooting a man ih the eye, his ebrewd mother bad relieved him of as much of his attire aa he could dispense with without a violent outrage upon deoeuoy. THE COLES SHOOTING CASE. Coroner's Inquest at the Hospital The Slorv Told by Mrs. Coleman in Iler Cell at the Toombs Visit of a Variety Actress to See the Body of Coles. At the Chambers street Hospital to day, Coroner Hermann made a post mortem examination on the body of George T.

Voleinan's Story. Mrs. Elizabeth Coleman, who short George W. Coles at Broome street and the Bowery, on Wednesday night, in her cell at the Tombs prison is rigidly excluded from conversation with reportcra. The only direct statement aa yet made by her was to a police official in the Tenth Precinct on tha night of her arrest, and that offioial tepoated the etory at Police headquarters to day.

To him she told her whole story unreservedly, or to all appearances so. It waa as followB Three months ago I went with my cousin one evening 0 Harry Minor's Theater. Coles sold tickets. I told him if the seats ware not good I would coma back. We got front Beats.

Soon after we ware seated an usher oame to us and said, "ladies, please tako a seat ina private box." We did so and shortly Colea.oame in aaylug "I told you I would give you good Beats," We thanked him and he left. Immediately after A WAITER BROUGHT BXER. Colea had sent it, While wa were drinking Coles returned and offered to oacort ub home. We deolined with thanks. When we went out of the theater Colea waa standing in front, and fearing that he would follow ue we went up the Bowery a little way and crossed over.

Wo did not see him again that sight. Two weaka later we went to tho theater again and wore given seats in a box. Coles came in and said that he knew where we lived. I saw at once that he had followed us home. When the performance waa over he induced as to take a'walk with him.

We drank two or three glasBos or beer and he went home with us. He oalled at tho houae after that. He knew I waa married, for I told him ao, and he aaw the children. I told him thoy were mine, After that we went out together on three different occasions, Last night I was asleep in bed whon SOMETHING WOKE MB UP. 1 do not know what it was, exoopt It waa the God above.

Aa I opened my eyee, I aaw my huaband standing ovor me, with knife in hla hand. I Bprang out of bed and aaid, "William, you promised if I told you tho whole truth yon would not barm me." He aaid something about a divorce and went out of the house. I waa almost oraiad at tba thought of how I had to suffer my home broken up, my ohildren taken from ma and I myself thrown upon the Btreet by thla man who I believed had betrayed me to my husband. While in thla state of mlad I dreaaed myself qulokly, took the pistol out of a bureau drawer and atarted for ths theater. Whan I met Colea I told him my husband knew all and that he had told him.

I put the pistol olose to hla body, aud you know the rest." Tho woman waB calm and collected throughout the recital of her atory. CO OPERATIVE BAVISOS ASSOCIATION.

Charles Baker Carried on Business in Henry Street His Arrest fcy Detective Powers this Morning Police Commissioner Williams' Experience witli the Fast and Gentle Trotter Kate Thorn. A noble looking young man, dressed in rich broadoloth and sporting a large diamond stud and othor valuable Jewelry, waa arrestod thla morning by Detective Miohooi Powers, in connection with au audaciously crooked horse transaction. Tho namo of tho prieoner Is Charles Baker, and the arrest took placo in front of hia roaidence, No. 97 Honry streot. It Is allegod that Baker is tho head and front of a gang of horse sharpers, who have grown rich by their fraudulent operations.

They have had their business quarters and residence at the above house, which ia handsomely and oxpenslvely furnished, and where they lived in elegant atyle. For aomo time tho attention of the police authorities has been directed to the placo, but It was not until a day or two ago that facta came to light whleh revealed the true character of Baker and his companions, The circumstances which led to the disclosures are as followa A week ago an advertisement was Inserted in a New York paper.offering for sale "tbe elegant and high bred and fast trotting mare Kate Thorn, half sister to Lady Thorn, raised on Falrlawn Btook farm, Kentucky, sired by Mambrino Chief, dam Lady Dexter by Ryedyk Hambletonian record, 2:19 7 yeara old." In addition to the abovb pedigree, tho trotting rocord of the maro was set forth in glowing languago and the advertisement concluded as followa "$400 will will buy this maro a lady oan drive hor up to hBr full speed in perfect safety no one can judge what a fine maro ahe is until tbey come and rido after her she cost tho present owner's husband $1,100 a little over a year ago, and ahe la now in every way a better maee than ahe was then I will give a trial of one week and oxplain and givo satisfactory reasons why I am offering her bo low. Inquire at private residence, No. 97 Henry street, Brooklyn." Tho obove advertisement met tbo eye of Mrs. Rauf a wealthy lady residing in Astoria, L.

who was anxious to become tho possessor of an animal so fleet of foot and tractable In disposition, and a relative named Mr. Richard Ilauft, at her roquost, came to this eltj for the purpose of NEGOTIATING FOB THE PURCHASE OF KATE THORN Mr. Ranft in Btating his businoss at No. 07 Henry streot, was Introduced to Mr. Bakor, who was reclining in elegant leisure on a sofa in tho back parlor.

Mr. Baker enlarged on the merits of the animal and spoke of tho great regret he felt at having to part with her. "She was," he remarked "my father's favorite horae aud almost every day father and mother rode behind her down the road. A child could drive her. My mothor ehared father's admiration for Kate, but sinoe his death, she cannot boar the sight of the animal and this is why I am willing to part with her on such low terras." Mr.

Ranft was much Impressed with the apparent good faith of Mr. Bakor and after a visit with the latter to tha Mansion Btables, corner Henry aud Clark streets, whero the maro was stabled, and oh a personal inspection of the animal, he concluded the bargain then and thero, at onoo handing Mr. Baker a check for $400. Mr. Biker on hia part giving a written guarantee that tho maro waa all right, "perfectly good, kind aud gentle" and ready at auy moment to cover a mile in 2:26.

Mr. Ranft took his departuro for Astoria with a consciousness that ha had made a good bargain, and that Mrs. Ranft would be more than pleased with his purohase. On the following day Kate Thorn was delivered to the lady and placed In her stable. In the evening she concluded to give the mare a trial, and Instructed tbe stableman to hitch hor up to one of the lightest wagons in tho stable.

Before eho got In tho wagon Police Commissioner Williams, of Long Island Oity, who Uvea in the neighborhood, happened to be passing, and not liking the ac tion of th6 mart while being barneaaefi, requaatod Mre. Ranft to allow him to drive her first Mrs. Ranft had no objection, and Commissioner Williams took his seat behind the gentle Koto. The following five minutes were the most exciting and perilous in the commissioner's lifo. Hardly had he got hold of the reiua when Kate exhibited the most intractable temper, and after kicking and stamping in the most ugly manner, daBhed away at a frightful pace.

The commissioner, although ono of the most experienced drivers on Long Ialand, completely lost control of the animal and finally, aa a lost resorts was obliged to throw hor to save his life. As it was he waa thrown a distance of twenty feet and received a severe shock. Mra. Ranft congratulated herself on her lucky escape, for had ahe attempted to drive the mare, the consequences would undoubtedly have been most serious. Aftor thla inoldent there was not a man in Long Island City or Astoria, who would undertako to hold the reins over the daughter of Lady Dexter.

Mr, Ranft saw at onoo that ho had been badly victimized by a horse swindler, and the following day came to this oity in search of the rascal Although he called eevoral times at No. 37 Henry street, he waa met with tha stereotyped answer MR. BAKER IB NOT AT HOME. Two subsequent vlBits to this oity wore equally fruitless in securing an interview, and then Mr. Ranft by ths advioe of Commissioner Williams, consulted with Superintendent Campbell, by whose advice ho returned to Long Island Oity and proonred a (Tarrant from Justice Delehanty for the arrest of Baker on a oharge of obtaining money by false representations.

Sell Piersen Hangs Himself in hli Cell la Raymond street Jail this Morning anol Expires Before Being Cat Down Itf tba KeeperThe Dismal Ending of a rr lorn Existence. Neil Piersen, a Swede, 34 years of uW wW haa made three attempts to take hit life during the past two months in the cell whioh he has oecupled Bay. mond atreet' Jail, made his fourth and final effort to kill himself at an early hoar thla morning.

He hang himself to the door of his oell, aud had eeased to breathe when a keeper reached his aide. Pioraen waa arrested on Myrtle avenue nearly three months ago aa tramp. Of the many dilapidated specimens of that class of humanity he waa about the worst Sent to Jail aa a vagrant he woe placed in the cell occupied by man named Burgess, And it Waa not long before these kindred spirits bad an encounter ot the liveliest possible character. Piersen stabbed hla companion in misery with a big Jaokknlf iDflloting wouada which at Area looked as if they would terminate fatally, but whioh TIME HKALKD. For thla offense Piersen was taken before Justice) Bergen and held for the grand Jury by that magiitrsts on a charge of felonious assault with attempt to kill.

The accused, recently convicted by the grand jury, was in Jail awaiting sentenco, when it dawned upon tha authorltloa that he waa not entirely aonnd In mind An examination waa ordered and made on Tuesday laat by Dra. Shepard and Young, the result of which wont to show that If there ever were a lunatic Plertea was one, for his mind waa as complete a wreck aa was his physical system. This point settled, Plerson would have been removed to the lunatlo asylum at Flatbush to day, had not the coroner been notified to hold the luquost over his remaine. The oell be ooenpied waa No. 24 on the lower tier of the new Jail.

Ia that cell la a cot. The cot need at the jail la a piece of canvas suspended between two iron bars and strapped to tho bara with stout cord. There ara several feet of this cord, and it is but the work of a moment to unfasten it from the bars. It baa b3en done over and over again, and there have been repeated attempts at Bnlcide by prltonere to whom tho idea of hanging themseivos with tho material thus placed in their bands haa ocourred. But tho lesson had NO PEB.OEPTIDLB EFFECT on the gedtlemen who manage the institution, wb.04 while admitting that the matter ought to be remedied, declare themselves powerloss to act.

Between two and throe o'clock this morning, when note sound waa heard in the prison savo the footfltepa of a vigilant keeper, Piersen unfastened the cord rrom hla oot. Forming a noose he placed it around his neck and tied the other end of the rope ta an iron spike on the top of his oell gate. Thon ho strotohod himself at full length on bis oot, tbe head of which touched tho cell door, and rolled quietly over the aide. The rope, whioh was arranged bo as to hold up hla head and atrangle him evon white hia limbs were on the floor, aoted aa desired. No sooner did ho fall than the oord, DBAWN TIGHT BY THE JBBK, clasped him round the nook and held him like a vico until the tongue protruded from hla mouth, until tbe color of face turned from white to black, until hia lifo was at an end.

No noise, no commotion when tha keeper reaohed tha cell the body waa yet warm, but tha limbs were contracted and the eyea protruded a Utti out of the aooketa. Nothing was done until this morning, when Coroner Keller waa. notiflod and requested to hold the inquest as soon aa possible. Up' to twelrs o'alook tho coroner had not reached the Jell, and the body waa in exactly the position in whioh it waa found. Nothing Is known concerning Pieraen'e hietory that ho was a vagrant, and a demented one at that, 18 about as far as extends the information of tbe local authorities concerning him.

His death was a melancholy ending to what is presumed to have been a drear; and forlorn existence. DRY GOODS CLERKS.

Her father la in the stone business and roaldes on Flatbush avenuo.

Joseph also was young, Just about tho age of his fair young wife, and it looked as though the yoara strotohod out before them in an unbroken lino of wedded happlnose. Amanda and Josenh went out to Jamaica to live on tho form, and there the fair city oeiie round mot whllo life in the country waa very pleasant, life on a farm among tho pigs and poultry waa very amerent rrom what posts in all ages have reprc Bonted it to bo. But poots have never boea farmers, and notoriously only write on theory, and cannot tell a subsoil plow from a Berkshire nil? or' a shanghai ohicken. Amanda did not take kindly to the dutios of the farm, and Joseph couldn't see why she should not. Result, blckorlng8 and quarrels, whioh developed rapidly.

Amanda declared that ehe had been accus tomed to oity life and ways, and if anybody supposed she had married Joseph to be a armor's drudge, why, they wore mistaken, that was all. She found ehe had a brilliant opportunity to repent in auch infrequent in tervala of leisure as the duties of the farm household allowed, Sho stood it thrco whole weeks, aud then declaring ahe would atand it no longer, sho shook tho dust of the farm from her dainty city skirts' and returned to her father's house, on Flatbush avenuo, and the dream of wedded bliss was ovor gone "like the swinging of a pendulum, like tho falling of a shadow on the floor," Joseph loved his young and dainty wife, and would have liked to mako a farmeress of her, but she would not. Her desertion of tho kitoheu and the dairy oroyed upon hia mind, and ho took to evil ways, He sought rellowehip among evil companions and lewd women, and it waa this osncAanf for baleful society which brought him Into troublo. He waa iu the habit of frequenting a houso of ill fame in Bleecker streot, Now York, and there from time to time, among other wild young men, he met a chum of his who had been bis familiar acquaintance for years. The namo of the chum ia withhold by the lawyers trom a curious public.

Nothing was further from his thoughts than to 'give away" his friend. But the friend to whom he told the inoidant was a friend of the young wife, and through him it reaohed her ears what evil paths hor husband was following. Amanda at once bogan a suit In the City Court for abscluto divorce, and Judge Roy nolds sent the case to D. F.

Justice Cullen granted a writ of attachment against Charles A. Faynter and John Fallon, defendants In a suit brought against them by the Mechanics' and Trad ers' Bank of Greenpolut, for the recovery of $3,419.46 upon a bond of $5,000. An order for tbo service of tho summons against Paynter by publication was also granted by the judge at the samo time. The defendant, Charles A. Faynter, was an cmployo at tho bank and disappeared lost March, upon the discovery of a defalcation in his accounts, Tho other defondant, John Fallon, la tho well kuown builder, of Greenpolut, and signed Paynter's bond for $5,000.

The suit, which waa begun yesterday, is upon.thxt bond. For some time it has beon known in Greenpoint that a defalcation bad boen dlBcovered in the bank aocounts. The alleged defaulter, Charles A. Paynter, was for five years employed by tha bank as olerk, entering the institution April 26, 1876, at which time he gave the bond for $5,000. His brother, Goorge M.

Paynter, la the teller of the bank. The family haa resided In Green point for a long time, and was greatly respected. The brothers wero looked upon as promising young men, and Charles had; no difficulty iu aeourlng Mr. Fallon as his bondsman. Ho was a quiet young man, about 25 years old, residing with his widowed mother, whose chief support he woe.

His habits were correct, ao far as known; he was frequently seen at church, and moved In good society. His work Id the bank was very satisfactory, and he was advanoed from one position to another, aud he was looked upon sb a thoroughly reliable young man. Last March an error was discovered in his accounts. Ho could not oxploiu It and waa discharged. Ho immediately disappeared and has not been heard from sinoe.

Further Investigation of hla books showed that his accounts were short $3,419.46, and the deflolt extended back ovor two years. It had beon skillfully covered op by falso entries. Hla mother, brother and the bank officers made diligent search for him, but no trace of his whereabouts could be found, and yesterday tha auit against his bondsman, Mr. Fallon, waa begun. What young Paynter used the money far 1b not known.

His life seomed so correct that there waa no suspicion of dissipation, and it was never known that ha speculated. A lloardlwr House Keeper's Estate. George W. Kellett was in 1879 the proprietor of a boarding house at No. 78 Eaat Broadway, in the City of New York.

In August of that year he waa taken sick of an illness which caused his death on the loth of Soptember. Upon the 11th of AuguBt he sold his boarding house to Annie Byron for $750, receiving $450 in caBh, a note for $50 and an agreement that Annul Byron should give him one year's board, estimated to be worth $250, if ho should live that long and if he should die before that tlmo should pay the balance due to his legal representatives. Upon the 16th of August, 1879, he signed an order on the Bowery Savings Bank in favor of his brother, John Eellett, who resldoa at No. 175 Hudson avonue, in this city, for all of his money in that bank amounting to $300, and at the same time directed hia brother to expend it for his benefit during hla lifetime, and if he should die before It waa all spent to keep the balance for himself. George W.

Eellett died upon the 19th of September, 1879, waa buried la Greenwood Cemetery, and hia brother, John Eellett, took out lettera of administration in the City of New York, upon the 7th of Ootobor, 1879. George KoUott was by trade a bookbinder, and wis during hla life a member of the Bookbinders' Provident AsBoeiation, No. 2, of which E. J. Campbell, of this oity, Is aeoretary.

The constitution and bylswa of thla association provide that the aggregate ot assessments made upon surviving membera upon the occurrence of a death shall be paid to the widow or child of tha deceased, or to tho peraon whom tha deceased shall designate or appoint to rooelve tha asms. George Eellett waa a widower and childless, and before his death had appointed John Eellett, hia brother, aa the parson who Bhould receive the benefit of his insurance in the association. About the let of November, 1879, John Kellett received from the Bookbinders' Provident Associilion, No. 2, the sum of $965. John Kellett before he took out letters of administration, had expended $210 of tbo $300 which he received from the Bowery Savinge Bank, for tho benefit of tho deceased and in purchasing a burial plot in Greenwood Cemetery, and about the 1st of November, 1879, pold the undertaker who burled hie brother $96.60.

He consulted three lawyers as to the claim against Annie Byron, and was advised by them that it waa worthlosa. In May last Eleanor Maguira, the Bister of Georgo W. and John Kellett, filed a petition in the Surrogate's office, New York, to compel John Kellett to render an account of hia proceedlnga aa administrator. To thla petition John Kellett filed answer to the effect that no assets of George W. Kellett had come Into hla hands aa administrator.

Testimony was takeu at various times beforo Surrogate Calvin, and yesterday the matter earns up before him for argument as to whatnot John Kellett aa administrator had ever received any assets of the estate ot Georgo W. Eellett, deceased, it being admitted that ho had only reoelved tho two aums of money, $300 and $685. For the administration, it waa olalmed thot the $800 waa donatio tnortfs causa, or a gift in view of death, ana that the $535 waa received by him as beneficiary or appointee, and not as admlniatrator.

Tho talk recently has been of Domo cratlo absenteeism sa the beat means ot dosing up the EosBlon and breaking the deadlock. Thodoalro to get Is universal, aud all aorta of schemes are aUggestod and talked of as things about to take place. Ho'dce the laot that two Demo orata had beon delayed In getting from Saratoga set afloat tho etory that an election would tako place by reason of absontooism without pairs, No olootion took piuoo lo.duy, notwithstanding that this was tho day set by all sanguine peoplo of whotevor stripe for tho election. Tho eight or nine stalwarts who ou Saturday voted for Miller and wero expooted to go ovor early this week, aud who have been begged and prayod with by the etalwart leaders, have Bluoe bo come very stiff. Tho joko of the business Is that the stalwart leaders have ovorahot the mark.

In their own hearts, they want the eight to go over, and would like to see tho contest onded that way. They would like the eight to be deaf to their petitions; but, like the minister who prayod for rain, they have overdone the buslnees, and the eight oaanot be driven from them, all hocause Speaker Sharps has been so abused FOR HIS SOMERSAULT. They would, like to go, but they dare not. At present writing, an olectton appears to be as far away as it over did. This, however, is a condition that may cfaaugs any day, and especially as the Demoaratlo press of the State Is calling upou ths Democratio members to end the unseemly oootsat, There was no change In tha voting and the whole number of rotes oatt was 141, making 71 necessary to a choice of which Lapham received 67 and Oonkltng 28.

The usual adjournment waa taken. The belief is very strong and general that tho whole affair will be ended by to morrow, and by the Demoorate, If by nobody else. Thero is a good deal said about the Democrats holding a caucus to morrow, with a view to consider the proposition to withdraw from the Joiut convention, and so end tho senatorial muddle, and it is quite likely to be done, THE JOIKT 00NVBMT10H met at noon and voted as followa Senate Lapham, 10 Potter, 7 Conkllng, 7.

Seacoal. cohpanf thirteenth regiment. Enjoying a Dinner and Kcnltion at Coney Jslnnd A Merry Party The I'uramt of Pleantire Inder Difficulties, aud a Very Considerable Tate of Life by the Sad Sea Waves. For several weeks past tbe members of Company Thirteenth Regiment, have been looking forward with pleasurable anticipations to the evening set down for the "stag rackot" arranged to come off at Couoy Island, aud which was to celebrate both the anniversary of the company and its present prosperity. It was a merry party, numbering about thirty, which assembled lu tbe company quarters iu the Hanson place Armory last eronlng, and whose memhors shortly after seven o'clock set their faces seaward, their ultimate destination Van Siclen's, and their purpose a night of rare onjoymont.

In this party wero inoluded the choicest spirits of H. At its head oame the popular commandant, Captain Eugene L. Merriam, celebrated as military man, musician ana litterateur, with genial Lieutenant Harry E. Kane, prince of royal good fellows, as his right hand man, tbe rank aud file being under tbe immediate supervlBiou of Lleuteqtant Garllcb, and including First Sergeant James Younia, Sergeant Jabn, Sergeant Smith, Corporal Uodgklnson, exLlautenant Kinkel, Quartermaster 8ergeant Werner, Privates Randall, Tenfold, Cadet, Schwolnfest, Bead and Mlchaolis, with Messrs. Leonhart, Tyntall, Boott, Stanley, Snauer and Johnson the omnipresent, among the guests.

The run to tho Island served to quloken the appotltes of the expectant diners, so that, by the time the ancient hostelry of Van Siclon was reached all wero preparod to do full Jnstlce to tho unexceptionable feast of fish in various forms, interspersed! with roast chicken and all the delioaclea of the season, which awaited their coming. In a vory brief period tha company was seated at but is a muoh briefer period they one and all wished devoutly that like Sheridan they were twenty miles away. For of all the nights known to the current Coney Island season, last evening was emphatically "mosquito night." The provoking littlo pests lighted upou the devoted heads and hands of the would ha revellers of the Thirteenth as the Assyrian cohorts swept upon the fold. Every blade and spear of silk grass In the adjacent marshes furnished its representatives, whose bill and appetito had seemingly been newly eharpened for this OBpeclal fray. Reminiscences of Rocksway were recalled to cbeer the hearts and strengthen the fast sinking courage of the brave altchers (if a vory bad pun be permitted), but in vain.

Tho onslaught proved too vigorous for resistance and after a hasty sampling of the several coureoB the party was glad to beat a retreat to the outer air to repair damages and compare experiences, reserving the feast of reason and flow of soul which would otherwise have attended tho reunion to a more propitious season. While the summary conclusion of the dinner waa the ocoasion of no slight disappointment, tho members of the company wore by no means disposed to torego the good time, the expectation of whioh had drawn them to the island. An impromptu musloale was almost immediately organized, tbe parlor and piano taken possession of, and Instrumental and vocal musie served to while away a very pleaBant hour, on the conclusion of which the company was formed In strict compliance with tactics, and the line of march taken op for the West End, aftor hearty eheera and tha skyrooket had been given for mine host VanSiclen and the excellent dinner providod by him, to which the hale old man responded: "Thank you, boys; I'm sorry the mos qultos was too much for you but I hope you'll havo better luok next tlmo." By way, possibly, of refreshing recollection in regard to the Decoration day celebration, a brief visit was made to the Sea Beaoh Palace, following which an adjournment was taken to Paul Bauer's, where several hours were very pleasantly spout, and a portion of the oratorical programme originally contemplated exploited. The flrat toast was to the memory of the late Major General Thomas S. Dakin, former captain of Compauy drunk in sllenee, following whloh remarks were mads by Lieutenant Kane, Corporal Hodgklnson, Captain Merriam, Private Styles and Mr.

Scott. Ab the time arrived for tbe departure of the last train the fun grew faster, and it needed but a suggestion to start the ball rolling in a military direction, the result being that the few remaining guests who lingered about the hotel, and the astonished employes of Herr Bauer, were treated to a ridiculously funny dress parade, which convulsed them with laughter. While tba reunion of tbe company waa not what its promoters had designed it should be, it ia questionable whether the "stag raoket" would have been mora successful than it proved, had the original programme been fully carried out. Last night's retreat, aocordlng to tha testimony or one of ths oldest of tho veteraus, was the first defeat ever experienced by Company but that, as the sequel showed, proved only temporary. IDE SENEY HOSPITAL Pausing; the Title to the Rite to the Hospital Trustees To day The Ground to he Iald out as a Park.

The title to the block of ground bounded by Sixth and Seventh streets and Seventh and Eighth avenues, wbleh waa months slneo purchased by Mr. Geo. I. 8eney as the site of the hospital he intends to erect tn. Brooklyu, was passed to day at the office of Wm.

Ingraham on Court street by partita representing the iuterosts of all concorned, Including Wm, Youngs and Joshua Youngs, former owners, and James A. Fisher, the real estate agent who brought about the sale of tha ground In question. The consideration was $70,000. The purchase was expected to be closed last April, but tloie was required to thoroughly examine the title, and so It was delayed till now. It is said that the work will now proceed at once, but it Is too early to give auy idea of the plans as thoy have not yet been determined ou.

The understanding at present, however, that the grounds, which are over 000 feet la length and 200 feet in width, will he laid out In the form of a park, and probably Mr. Seney will spend much more mouoy upon the work than be at first intended.
