COFFIN REPLIES 40'CIjOCKEDITION Constitutional question involved here, against the views of the minority, composed of Senators on both sides of tho chamber, of high reputation as constitutional lawyers, including tho Senator from Missouri (Mr. Vest). Tho judgment in both instances was by largo majorities and was entirely non partisan and non political, Mr. Harris I am in full sympathy with the view expressed by the Senator from Missouri in regard to admitting to a seat on this floor an appointee, under such circumstances as in this case. But I do not seek to delay for a moment tho action of the Senate in the matter.

Mr. Marstou thereupon had the oath of office administered to him by the Vice President, and took liis seat an Senator. In tho meantime, Mr. Pruden, one of the President's secretaries, had delivered a message in writing (being the Cabinet appointments), and on motion of Mr. Hale the Senate proceeded to consider them with closed doors.

Tho Senate promptly confirmed them all, and adjourned at 12:45. At a caucus of Democratic Senators held this morning Senators Cockreil, Kenua and Harris were made a committee to discuss with Republican Senators the arrangement of the committees and the ordor of executive business.

They anticipate a cut by the large wholesalo men at an early date and will then respond by a local reduction. In tho meantime the. appointment oi a weigher by tho exchange is talked of. It will he tho business of this official to go into tlio various yards at unexpected moments ami weigh a ton oi coal which is ready for delivery. If tho load IS not up to tho standard weight tho delinquent dealer will bo reported to the exchange.

Officers in the Construction Department at the Navy Yard say thero is a very good prospect for a wholesale suspension of the laborers under them next Saturday, owing to tho probability that the special appropriation for work in construction may not be immediately available.

Captain Whiting, who is at the head of tho Department of Equipment and Recruiting, has been appointed president of a board of officers selected to make an inventory of all the Government property at the yard. A now Herroschoff coil engine, designed for the Marion on its way West, was to day inspected by a number of outside engineers. An officer at the Navy Yard with mathematical proclivities and the requisite duta at hand has made a very interesting comparison of the relative number of men employed at the yard just before, at and after presidential elections for the last twenty years. The comparison is shown graphically by curves drawn to scale. The line representing the changes in the labor force for the recent election rises suddenly and sharply to a great culminating height coincident with election day, and falls almost to the zero point immediately after, by far the greatest of all the variations shown.

A LITTLE KEY WORKED LOOSE. For forty five minutes this morning after 11 o'clock all tho trains on the bridge were drawn by locomotives. The. use of the cable plant had to ha temporarily suspeuded because the key got looso on the wheel of tho balance car, which, if it hud not been speedily corrected, would have permitted tho shaft which imparts its propuUivo power to the wheel to work loose. Tho engineers, however, wero prepared for tho emergency in advance, and, as soon as the cable plant was stopped, enough locomotives were put on to draw the trains on tiireo minutes' headway, the ordinary interval for that time of day.

Mike CtiBhing, of Brooklyn, and Henry Bartlett, of Somerstown, England, fought this morning at Clifton, N. for the 120 pound championship and a side.

The sporting fraternity were much disappointed in tho Englishman. CubIi ing did all the leading and had the best of the fighting throughout. He gained first blood in tho fourth round and Bartlett won first knock town. Neither was badly punished. About $7,000 changed hands on the result.

The ring was pitched in an open structure with nothing hut a shed roof overhead to protect either pugilists or spectators, tho wind driving tho rain through the space where the wallB should be. dishing, who was sooonded by Denny Costi gau, Tom Henry and Dan Gallagher, is 23 yeai'B of age and 5 feet 5 inches in height. Bartlett is 26 years old, feet CM inches tall and was looked after by Tommy Barnes and Tom Higham, of Boston. Time was called shortly after 1 o'clock. A well known sporting man acted as referee.

The umpire! were Ed Plunkett for Bartlett and John Eck hardt for dishing. Tho Brooklyn man rammed his opponent's stomach with his left all through tho fight, while his right was devoted to punching his head and face. In the ninth round dishing was cut on the fore head and Burtlett's left eye was almost closed in tho tenth. In the thirteenth round Bartlett de liberately back heeled Mike, but the foul was not allowed. When tho fourteenth round was about half through Bartlett got a blow on the mouth which split his upper lip.

This settled tho Britisher. It was sundown with him, and lest the darkness should bo further increased by the complete closing of his optic it being already in deep mourning he leisurely strode up to Mike, shook his hand in true Cockney style and acknowledged his defeat. The referee awarded the stakes to Cushing, who, amid loud cheers, was carried from the ring. The battle lasted nearly an hour. SOME NEWS FROM HAYTI.

Tho troops wero being paraded by Legitime and preparations were being made to capture St.

Mare and to compel Hyppolite's followers to surrender. Instructions had been issued to German and American vessels not to enter any blockaded ports, especially St. Slarc, The Atlas steamer Andes had taken out a quantity of arms and ammunition for Hyppolitc and sho had been visited by several of his ministers and leaders.

JHe was this moruing in a position of inquiry. Ho didn't know what might happen, but would very much like to. He did know one thing, that if tho Board of Education decided to give School 44 a third grammar grade it would stultify its pre vious action and give him a rebuko. Sir.

Simis was in a position to give Mr. MaxweU information and gave some throngh an Eaole reporter, to whom he said: You will find there is quite a change of sentiment among tho members of tho Board, and the motion I shall make is likely to bo carried. I shall move to dispense with the lowest primary grade and add a third grammar grade to the departments in Bchool No. 44. I do this because I believe that is the correct thing to do.

We have worked up a good sentiment in favor of tho change and wo claim the committee are justified in their demands. I claim also that Sir. Maxwell has misiutrepreted the law in the matter and that he has not acted legally in raising the grades as he has done. Tho Board is tho only authority in the matter and it will have to fix tho grades as illegaRy arranged by Mr. Slaxwell.

Our experience has boon peculiar. It is the only time the unanimous report of a committee has been overridden by the Board. That was because it had been fixed beforehand. Mr. SlaxweU was responsible for that.

It is a personal matter between him and me, and it is over six monthB old. Sir. Maxwell is a good classical scholar, but he has a mighty thick Scotch head. I am satisfied there will bo shown a change of sentiment in the Board and tho committee will gain its point." DETAINED AT CASTLE GARDEN. Among tho North German Lloyd steamship Fnlda's 300 immigrants landed at Castle Garden to day wore 205 Poles and Slavonians.

Out of the latter sixty wero detained by the Emigration Commissioners as destitute and likely to become public charges. DENIES GUILT. Frank P. Dudgeon in the Court of Sessions. In View of the Great Publicity Given His Case Judge Moore Will Try It With Little Delay.

Dudgeon was arraigned in the Court of Sessions this morning to plead to two indictments one charging him with manslaughter in tho first degree and tho other accusing him of causing a criminal operation which resulted in tho death of Katie Cody in Mrs. Harriman's flat, 124 Flatnush avenuo.

The clerks and other employes of tho city will for some time hereafter devote their leisure moments to prayers for the continued good health of the Deputy, or rather tho Acting, Controller, Aaron Brinkerhoff. It is not that they ever asked him to have anything else than good health, but just now it is absolutely necessary for the happiness of the clerks and others that this greatest of all blessings should attend him.

It will bo remembered that at the time of Controller Livingston's death the question was raised as to whether Sir. Brinkerhoff could legally act as Controller pending tho choico of a successor to Sir. Livingston. It was stated in an opinion of Corporation Counsel Jonks that the deputy could act. Therefore, Sh'.

Brinkerhoff continued to act and has been signing tho papers which came before him in tho line of business just as though ho had been chosen Controller, instead of being the Controller's deputy. One of the important duties of the Controller is the signing of the warrants which entitle the employes of the city to draw their monthly stipends. Now. hero is the point which is so thoroughly agitating tho minds of those worthy people. The acting Controller, although ho may bo all right himself, has no power to appoint a deputy.

Hence, if Sir. Brinkerhoff should take a serious cold, bo struck by lightning, be frozen in a blizzard, or should in any way be incapacitated from acting as Controller, there is no one who could sign the warrants for the payment of city moneys. HAD BEEN THERE ONLY ONCE. Judge However, Compels Hi in to Heueiv lUis Acquaintance.

In answer to questions by Judge Slassoy, Slattery admitted having been an inmato of the House of Refuge for lounging and larceny and Sweeney said that he had been in tho Penitentiary only once for larceny. "Only once.

Well, then, I will give each of yon one year in the Penitentiary to collect your thoughts," said the Judge. THE FIRE RECORD.

Licensed Drug Clerk. Buooklyk, March 5 1889. Saved Herbert Mullany From the Law's Clutches. A Sensational Suicide in New York This Moruingr Goinsr to the Grave Instead of to Prison. A sensational suicide took place down town in New York this morniug.

It was brought about by the defalcation and attempted arrest of a trusted cashier. Herbert Mullany, a single man, 35 years of age, had been in the employ of Julius lithographers, of 139 Duane streot, for over sixteen years. He began there as an offico boy and was finally promoted to tho position of chief bobkkcoper and cashier. Implicit confidence had always been plaoed in him by his employers. For Beveral weeks, however, the firm noticed a lack of attention to business on his part.

They wero compellod to aBk him several times of late for a statement of their affairs and a balanco sheet. He kept on putting them off with excuses until finally, last Thursday, they summarily dismissed him from their employ. He was told to write up the cash book and render a balance sheet before he left. On that evening he sent a friend around to tho house of Sir. Bien with a confession that he had been systematically stealing from the firm for the past Bix years.

He aaid he had stolen altogether $0,500 and had covered his peculations by falso entries. The money had gone in bucket shop speculations and living beyond his means. The firm wero shocked by this confession, but having in mind tho long service of tho clerk thoy could not make up their minds to have him arrested. He was told to return to tho office, which he did on last Friday. Ho met the firm and confessed his dishonesty.

Ho was told to go through tho books and give tho firm a statement showing just how they Btood, and how much money he had Btolen. He worked all day Friday and Saturday on the books, but failed to appear on Slonday. The firm sent word to him to come to tho ofiice, and ho made his appearanco thero again this morning, beginning anow tho work of straightening out tho books in company with tho junior book keeper. In tho meantimo his employers had entered a civil suit against him. At noon, Deputy Sheriff McGonigle, armed with a warrant, walked in and arrested him.

Slullany had his coat off at tho time. He requested to be allowed to go to a closet near by to get his coat. As soon as he opened the closet he snatched a revolver from his pocket and, placing tho muzzle to his left temple, fired the shot, penetrating his brain and causing instant death. This sudden action startled the whole concern. The man was found to be dead and the Coroner's office was at onco notified.

Coroner Shultzo ar rived at tho place and, after au examination of tho body, granted a permit for removal. 31AY0R GRANT IN EARNEST. He Reiterates Ilia Statement That (be Poles Must Go. Commissioner Gibbons and Slayor Grant wero the only members present at tho meeting of tho Board of Electrical Control in Now York to day. What tho meeting lacked in numbers it nude up in interest.

Tho Commissioner of Fublic Works was there. Eugene 'Lynch, representing the United States Illuminating Compauy, was thero. Expert Wheeler, of the Board, was there, and between the lot they had a red hot time. The first gun was fired by Mr. Gibbons in tho shape of a formidable document charging the United States Illuminating Company with willfully evading tho law.

This caused Mr. Lynch to use some very sharp language. Mr. Lynch did not call Sir. Gibbens a liar, but ho looked as if he would like to if they had been on tho street.

Then the Slayor had his turn. "Gentlemen," he said, "I tell you plainly those poles will have to come down within tho specific forty five days." Bang, bang, went his fist on tho table as ho con tinned: "I'll havo no nonsense. If the poles avo not removed I II order the Commissioner of Public Works to cut down the poles. This tiling has gone far enough and I tell you again I mean what I say." TWO JURORS LESS. Only Nine Now for the Trial of Thomas B.

Tho three vacant seats were viewed with curiosity by the talesmen, who entered the, room for examination, and who had read in the papers for two days past that there was only one.

They were an unproductive lot, however, and tho seats still yawn for occupants, MORE SUDDEN DEATnS. Two Added to the Lint in the Sixteenth Ward. About 8:30 o'clock last evening Sirs. Sarah Fitzsimmons, a widow living alone, was found dead in her rooraa on the second floor of 118 Boerum street. Some boys in the house who had heard a noise, evidently caused by her falling, ran to the place and discovered her on the floor unconscious.

Deceased was a war pensioner and had just drawn her pension monoy, $28.00. Death is supposed to have been caused by heart disease. About 0:20 o'clock last evening Sirs. Slary Geertz, wife of Charles Geertz, of 45 Tompkins avenue, aged 5 7 years, dropped dead while walk ing with her little nephew, Charles Linderfor, at tho corner of Flushing and Harrison avenues. She was removed to her home.

On Sunday morning Lizzie and Emma Winter holder, aged 10 and 14 years respectively, left the home of their parents, on Sheffield avenue, near Eastern Parkway, to pay a visit to some friends in Queens. As they did not return at nightfall tho father made inquiries and learned that his daughters had not reached their destination.

Tho girls havo not been seen since. No reason can bo assigned for tho action of the girls, as thero are no fears of foul play and it is believed that they disappeared of their own accord. Tho parents of tho girls are almost distracted and last evening Sir. Winterholder called at tho Seventeenth Precinct Police Station and invoked the aid of Captain French aud his officers.

Tho accused man denied tho charge and was held for trial.

Commissioner Adams this morning appointed Edward M. Crofton, of 250 Classon avenue, clerk in tho Water Register's Department, at an annual salary of $1,000. Why the Widow Broke tHe Engagement. A Little Scene in a Street Car Vv It Goes," Said the Doctor, and Up It Went. To day Dr.

Joseph B. Bennett told his story in the Circuit Court, where he is being sued by Mrs. Mary Ann Griffith' for $10,000 damages for breach of promise. He made a very good impression on the court and jury. He needed a housekeeper, he said, and offered Mrs.

Griffith the position. Sho would consent only if he agreed to marry her, and finally, as ho needed somebody very much at homo, he accepted that proposition. Sho broke off the engagement, however, because he would not buy her a house and give her the deed. They could not agree, and the contract was that they wero to marry if they could agree. The doctor avowed himself a man of peace and said he could not live where there was any contention.

His quaint, old fashioned manner of telling his Btory made an impression. Sirs. Griffith's daughter, 60u and son in law were examined and all told substantially the same Btory. The engagoment waB well understood in the family. They all visited tho doctor after ho stopped visiting Sirs.

Griffith, to rind out the reason, and he told them all to send their mother down and he would explain to her. Lawyer Charles J. Patterson opened his side of the case and called Dr. Bennett. This is in substance the physician's testimony "I was born in 1816 and am 73 years old.

Mrs. Griffith, I understand, will bo 70 this Spring. I lived with my first wife about fifty two years and resided in the house 108 Columbia street about fifty years. My oldest ohild is a little over 50 years and the youngest about 28. My family at 108 Columbia street consisted of my wife and a widowed danghtor with two children.

My property includes the houso 108 Columbia street and another houso on the same street. At the titiio my wife died it was mortgaged for $7,800. The mortgage has since been increased because of additional expenses." You have had this Kwsuit on your hands 1 "It has not bothered me much." Is that all the property you have owned 7" I have owned as much as $100,000 worth of property in Brooklyn." When did your wife die "I think it was tho 13th she was buried." "When did tho plaintiff visit your house "She njado her appearanco there first on the 10th of April; she came about 11 o'clock and, 1 think, she stayed until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I think she said something about her uncomfortable feeling at homo." "What did she say 7" The witness paused and said he hardly knew where to begin. He did not want to tell all she Baid; it would be humiliat ing to her.

Finally he answered that Bhe said something about being uncomfortable at home. 'Did you say anything about giving her a chance?" "Not particularly." "When did she come again?" "She came the next Monday morning and stayed nntil Saturday afternoon. During that time I suggested that she should come there aud take charge of the house. I said I would take her off her son's hands and would provido for her. She said sho would think about it.

She came again a few days after and said she could not accept that proposition; that she could not come there unless I would marry her. The week sho was there she helped about the house and in the kitchen. "Did you go out with her while she was thero "Oh, yes; several times." "Where did yon go "Wo wont to the theater once. They told mo thero was a theater on Adams street, and we went there." Laughter. "Did Sirs.

Griffith mako any objection about going out with you bo soon after your wife's death 'I don't think she did. Sho seomod to enjoy the theater very much." Laughter. "What did you say when she spoke about your marrying her 7" "I said I would thiuk about it. I did think about it and I finally concluded that it would bo as well to arrange it that way. I wanted a housekeeper and I thought she would fill the bill and thought it well to accept her proposition, said to her that if we could agree we would get married.

I wanted her to come to tho houso and be the boss the wife. (This was on the way home, after she had been there a week.) I visited her at her homo several times. That is all true what they told. She asked mo to come on Thursday, when she was to give me an answer. She was going to see a Spiritualist or somebody to see how the thing would work.

That was what I gathered from what she said. Laughter. When I wont up on Thursday sho said she would accept. I called her daughter to witnesB it. I told her that her mother and I had agreed to marry.but I told tho family nothing about the conditions.

About the 2d of June sho wanted to go to Albany to make a visit. I objected and said I thought it was not right: that sho ought to stay and fulfill her contract. She said she had promised to go and make the visit. She was to stay two weeks, so I helped her to got ready aud gave her soma money to go. Sho went and made her visit.

I wrote her several times to como back, saying that I wanted her at home; I needed her there. I felt as if sho was my wife and was away from home and I needed her there. Then she wrote that she could not have her visit spoiled by mo. Well, her son was to bo married, and ho wroto to her and then sho came right home for him aud would not come for me. She disappointed me in that she did not come on the boat I fixed for her to come." Then the doctor went on to tell about tho wedding dress incident; We arranged to meet at Loeser's and did moot there in the morning, and we spent the wliolo morning there.

She got tho dress and the trimmings and everything she wanted, and I paid the bill, and we started for her home. On the way she began to talk about a home. Wo wero going along in the car. I had the bundle in my arms. She said, looking out of tho car window: 'You buy me a little homo; there arc nice little homes; you buy mo a home and give me a deed of I said, 'I wouldn't buy you a dog 'All she answered: 'then we will throw the whole thing 'Very said 'up it Laughter.

The doctor said thatatfirstSIrs. Griffith wanted him to give a bond for $5,000, so in caso he died she would have no trouble with his children over his estate. He told her he would not give a bond; that ho would take good ere of her while she lived, bury her decently if she died before he did and if she outlived him she would bo well provided for. He was not buying a woman. If he was ho could get one cheaper than $5,000.

Then she began to talk about the house. Next he told about the interview which took place when Sirs. Griffith went down to his houso. What did she say 7" asked counsel. Well, she said among other things that she would make my children respect mo more than they did if she married me.

Then she said that WJhc would make me pay for it. I said: 'How much 7" and she said $500 at least. Then I said I would like to see her get it." Laughter. At the conclusion of the doctor's evidence the court took a recess. CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER.

When an Eaole reporter asked Mr. Richardson what he had to say on the subject of his letter on the Polytechnic dinner and the comments it had evoked ho replied: "It was a letter writton by one gentleman to an other and was not intended for publication, as the original would clearly indicato. Tho work tho letter was intended to do was designod to be accomplished in a quiet way through tho only proper channel, namely, the president of the or ganization. Indeed, it was not expected that tho let ter would even come before the Executive Com mittee, but that the jnflnciico of tho presi dent would be sufficient to bring about tho consummation devoutly to bo wished for. Tho matter is one with which the public has nothing to do; no good interest is to be subserved by publication or public discussion and criticism.

Inasmuch as the matter has been made, to a certain extent, public property, it is due to tho president, Professor Silve.rnail, to say that it was manifest to all who wero present at tho dinner that his dfisiro was for tho best and highest interests of tho institute whoso name the Reunion hears." "Ib the letter printed in Sunday's Eagle substantially correct?" "I wrote a letter to Professor Silvernail. Tho letter printed over my signature in the Eaole was not that letter." "Are not all the charges of inordinate wino drinking, throwing bread and fruit and boisterous conduct and questionable language contained in the letter you wrote 1 Richardson paused in thought for a 'very long time after this question. Then ho said: "I have already said that my letter was not written for publication. I think that answers your question." "Do you claim that tin's misconduct and offensive language occurred boforo or after tho reporters left "The reporters hoard some of it. You yourself were present and know whether you would havo been willing to havo had your mother, sister or sweetheart hear Rome portions of some speeches.

I think it would be a good thing to have fewer of these annual dinners of Bocial organizations where wine is supplied ad libitum by the association or a la carte, according to the length of a man' pocketbook, and whore ladies are carefully excluded. I think it would be better for the morals of the diners and tho morals of tin; community to have Jie ladies present on such occasions. Their iiillueuco is invariably restraining and elevating and no man will allow himself in their presence to give utterance to an uncouth or vulgar sentiment. If provision is made for tho admission of ladies to future dinners of the reunion the character of such gatherings will bs guaranteed." It will be observed that Mr. Richardson carefully avoids saying that tho letter published over his signature in Sunday's Eagle misrepresents him or is more severe in its attack on the diners than tho one he really wrote, and which is now in the possession of Professor Silvernail.

At tho time of publishing it tho Eaole frankly said that it was not a verbatim copy, but claimed that it was substantially correct as far as il went; that all the charges it contained were in the original, and that all the expressions which give it character wero original and all the sense contained in it was in the original. The original is a little more lurid and lengthy, that is the only difference. The writer was present at the. dinner, as Mr. Richardson declares.

He and the other reporters left at 1 1 o'clock or thereabouts. The speeches delivered during tltat time were by Professor Silvernail, as president; Dr. Do La Vergiic replying to the toast of the Polytechnic; Mr. Duncan Edwards speaking for Tho Law;" Harrison Dike for "Art;" Thomas H. Troy for the "Polytechnic Farce;" Henry Ncsuiith, who recited an original poem; Dr.

Ernest Palmer and Professor Matthewson. Troy's speech was of virginal purity. It was bright, witty and innocent. Dike's was as chaste as a moonbeam or' an iceberg. It was a high pitched allegory, and very clever at that.

Professor Silverman's sturdy morality and pure Handedness: are too well known to need any defense, beside Mr. Richardson especially excludes him from censure. My. NosmitU's poem was printed in full in the E.ior.i: of Thursday last and could be judged by everybody and Dr. Palmer and Professor Mattheivsou said nothing in their speeches which could by the utmost stretch of the imagination be considered out of place in a speech delivered before young ladies.

In Edward's speech tho only thing which could offend tho most delicate ears was a story he told of a young Polytechnic lawyer who drew up a deed of dower settling certain property upon the bride "and her issue by the bridegroom, his heirs, assigns, executors and administrators forever." People can judge for themselves whether or no this story called for special condemnation. Dr. DeLaVergne's allegorical remarks concerning the baby (the reunion) are understood to have inspired Mr. Richardson's criticism concerning those offensive utterances made in the presence or the reporters. Dr.

Do LaVergno certainly used not one vulgar word, though the thought may have been trille suggestive of un e.xpurgated Shakspeare. What happened after the reporters left they are. of course, unable to say. Mr. Thomas H.

Troy said, "I am the secretary of the reunion. I read Mr. Richardson's letter as published in the Eaole, and I also road the original letter in the hands of Professor Silvernail. The letter in tho Eagle does not misrepresent Mr. Richardson.

In fact it docs not put him in so bad a light as tho original letter. Personally I am completely indifferent to Mr. Richardson's tter. It carries with it it's own refutation. I was present at the dinner and neither saw nor heard anything to i lify such a communication.

I regard the whole episode, as a tempest in a teapot. 1 think that Mi Richardson would never have written that letter if he had given it a sober second thought. It is an insult to every man who was present at the dinner. How undeserved the gentlemen of the, press can testify so far as concerns the time of their presence." What action will the committee take I don't know yet. I have received no notification." Mr.

Henry E. Ncsmith, who recited the. poem which gave variety to the proceedings, said; "I think Mr. Richardson's letter is unfortunate and injudicious. loft the dinner before 1 o'clock and I thought all was going well.

I found, as the Eaiii.i says, that tho newspapers found nothing to censure up to that time. Where men dine one or two will be noisy, and they will grow noisier as the evening goes on." Howard Spellman, who recites' very cleverly and who entertained the company at the dinner, was found over nt his store, Broadway, today. He said: "I felt that the. dinner was very successful. I saw no horseplay or roughness, though I sat right in front of Mr.

Richardson. I am at a loss what to make of Mr. Richardson's letter. It was stupefying to me when I first read it. I thought tho Reunion dinner peculiarly quiet and eminently respectable.

Mr. Richardson's attack has not injured mo at all as my conscience is perfectly clear." Mr. Frederick R. Coffin, on whom Mr. Richardson's letter bore particularly hard, as he replied to the toast of "Women," writes as follows: To Dip KVilor of Die.

Jlrooklun Knoln: The letter of V. J. Richardson, printed in your issue of yesterday, has been called to my attention. Without hesitation, I consider it tho dastardly attack of a moral assassin, that has already met unanimous denial and denunciation, with nothing but contempt for the writer of such foul calumny. The dinner proved a marvelous success nattering to the efforts of the officers and committee.

Every gentleman enjoyed tho event, as shown by numerous congratulatory letters received. The company was one that would have rebuked immediately any unbecoming talk or conduct. Ho should have protested then and there to anything he thought objectionable, but his silence, well maintained, will show the long time it took to puncture his moral integument, or the minimum amount to which he could take exception. 1 must say, if long continued liii ring is any indication of satisfaction, he evidently enjoyed himself to the full. The diners, not only at the head tables, but throughout the room, were particularly tem perate in the matter ot wiuc a taec tnat was remarked upon by tho caterer.

It is simply preposterous in anyone so thoroughly known to attempt to besmirch the reputatious of the men who attended that dinner by vile and false assertions as to the speeches or general conversation. I confess a complete lack of knowledge of tho language "worthy of a Water street bagnio" with which ho admits familiarity; but do not believe there is the similarity that lie claims. Further, 1 cannot account for the fact that he lingered until the last, unless he had an original intention to stab in the back a young and highly creditable association of gentlemen. His communication is not that of a man whose morals have been shocked. The attempted irony and sarcasm stamp it as an insincere production of an overheated imagination.

He fully feels that his reformatory measures for the amelioration of the condition of the working man, and his efforts to restrain aged sinners in their "disorderly walks," entitle him to special recognition as a censor of gentlemanly deportment. Sly remarks were in reply to a toast to "The Ladies Well Bred Women "and not to Women," as ho wrote it, again showing a determination to put the worst possible sound upon every part of tho proceedings. His statements arc "maliciously false and indecent, and must immediately recoil upon his own unti striking character. Fbedeuick R. Coefin.

Brooklyn, March 4, 1880. But Mr. Richardson's letter was peculiarly specific and blunt aud direct in its charges. They were true or they were not true, and in either case the Reunion is called on to do something. The following is tho best version of Mr.

Richardson's letter yet available. It does not contain anything that is not contained in Mr. Richardson's letter: Brooklyn, March 1, 1880. I'rofrtiKor J. A.

Rusk, of Wisconsin Special to the Eagle Washington, D. Slarch 5. At 12:24 to day the executive clerk of the President appeared in the Senate with a message. It contained the Cabinet nominations. It is to lie jioted that the nominations are made in the order of the Presidential Succession Act for the first time in history.

In this way the Navy Depart incut comes lower in rank than hitherto. On motion of Senator Kale, of Maine, the galleries were emptied, the doors closed and the (Senate immediately proceeded in secret executive session to consider the nominations. At 12:40 the doors were thrown open, and it was learned that all of the names had been confirmed. The Senate adjourned immediately. The Gravesond chieftain did not so to the hall and therefore was active early to day.

In fact there is an impression prevalent here among (lie Brooklyn contingent that the Hon. John Y. SIc Kane, whose body guard has been Hie talk of the town, is wasting little time on social festivities, no putting in good solid licks to continue the forcible prestige he has obtained by his dignified demeanor here. He enjoyed his Russian bath 'for the third consecutive morning since Ins arrival, and by 10 o'clock to day had formed his band in marching order upon Pennsylvania avenue. That broad thoroughfare was aiivc with organizations parading' about and hiking their farewell look at the town.

The Sic Kane folks went grandly down the middle of the street to Wil whore tlicy found the Dady legion ready to escort them. The Kings Comity boy. serenaded General Tracy and President Harrison. At 1 o'clock, followed by the cheers of the crowds, both organizations left for home. They will arrive, at the.

foot of Fulton street at 8 o'clock to iiighf. The Democratic Senators held a caucus this morning and appointed a committee to arrange for minority representation on the several Senate committees. This committee will commiinicalc its wishes to the bill precedent. This is a formal action pursued always in the organization. The greatest novelty in the Senate to day was the presence of John J.

Ingulls in sent between Allison and Ifail. This was (he Kansrui's old Beat, and he had held it reserved the time that lie occupied the presiding officer's chair. Senator Harbour, the new member from Virginia, got the worst seat in the rear row of the Democrats. His predecessor, liiildlcbergcr, left Washington last night in disgrace. Barbour is a courtly old gentleman, already well known lo the Senators and sure to be popular.

His is the only new face among the Democrats. thvthe opposite side of the chamber there aie more changes. Seiintor H. twlcy moved back into Iliddlebergcr's old place and Frank Hiseock, who knows a good thing wherever he sees it, gave tip his inconspicuous seat back near tin drafts from the rear doors and takes Hawley's place. Tin is one of the best positions in the Senate and is the nearest one to that of the Vice President.

It is, furthermore, right alongside of KvarK Slarston, who was appointed temporary successor to Chandler, of Now Hampshire, is satisfied to occupy Hiseoek's old place, and from appearances he will do pretty well for himself. He can get into Hiseoek's shoes. Higgius, of Delaware, is to be found where Chandler has recently been pouring melted lead on southern election managers. Iliggms is considered a sort of contradiction in the flesh to Chandler's tirades. Next to Higgins will sit the handsome young successor to old Tom Uowen, of Colorado.

Wol cott was absent this morning. He is rapidly making friends rigid and left. To day he was away np in the other end of Hie avenue renewing old acquaintance with Brooklyn people.

With the bright sunlight this morning come feelings of greater satisfaction, and the tired and weary politicians are beginning to take a little enjoyment out of life. John Pham hovlanVs famous eating house was crowded all last night with well known Brooklyn gentry. Paul Grciting entertained Ed Somhorn, Colonel Tom Ochiltree and half a dozen other good fellows.

The Supervisor of the First Ward has received considerable attention while here. It is said that Jesse Johnson will become United States District Attorney for the Southern New York District. Vice President Jlurtnn in tlie Chair.

(Regular Press Dispatch. Washington, I). March There was no diminution, but rather an increase, to day of the crowd. that have bad possession of the Capital for some days past. Long before noon every seat and standing place in the galleries were filled, and the corridors and stairs were packed with people anxious to obtain even a peep into the Senate chamber.

When Mr. Ingalls entered and took the seat which he used to occupy before being chosen as presiding officer, he was greeted with a round of applause from the spectators, and the like compliment was paid to Vice President Morton as he came in with the chaplain. The applause was so prolonged (hat Mr. Morton was compelled to rap for order several times. The opening prayer had allusions to the peaceful and hopeful change in the administration of the Government.

After the reading of yesterday's Journal Mr. Edmunds reported that the committee which had been appointed yesterday to wait on the President of the United States and inform him of the meeting of the Senate in extraordinary session, had performed that duty and had been informed by the President that he would, early to day. communicate with the Senate in writing. Mr. Cockreil offered a resolution (which went over till to morrow) for the appointment of a committee of five senators on the methods of business in the executive departments and the causes of the delay in the transaction of business.

Mr. I mxko the point of order tli.it it is not within the competency of the Senate at this extraordinary session to receive or net upon that resolution. I am quit" willing that the point of order shall stand over till to movrow, and 1 iiope it will then be considered and decided. Mr. Stewart offered a resolution declaring it to be the sense of the Senate that the business interests of the country require the purchase by the Secretary of the Treasury of 1,000,000 worth of silver bullion per month for coinage.

Mr. Morgan and Mr. Harris made, a point of order on the resolution, the latter stating that it was purely legislative in its character. Mr. Fryc I will enter an objection to its consideration, which will carry it over until to nior vow.

Mr. Harris There is no objection to that. The resolution went over. Mr. Blair presented the credensials of Mr.

Marston, appointed by the Governor of New Hampshire to fill the vacancy causeil by the termination of Mr. Chandler's term and by the failure of the Legislature to elect a Senator. The credentials were read. Mr. Vest I shall make no motion to refer those credentials to the Committee on Privileges and Elections, simply because on two occasions, after long discussion, the Senate decided by a large majority the question of the power of the governor of a State to make an appointment under Bueh circumstances as surround this case.

But my opinion on that question is unchanged. With my view of the Constitution and of the law I should object to the swearing in of this appointee, but I shall not do it. Mv. Hoar am aware of the great weight of personal authority that ib opposed to the previous judgment of the Senate on this question. But, as the Senator from Missouri lias stated, the Senate has twice, by large majorities, determined the A SWORD FOIt B0ULANGER.

TWICE HER AGE And Not Very Far From Twice Her Size. But That Did Not Prevent the Somewhat Itoinnniic Marriage of Gallant Captain Kellett and Pretty Miss Kate M.

Gibney. An event toward which the people of St. Peter's parish have been looking forward for some months occurred last evening, when Police Captain Henry Kellett, tho gigantic commander of the Eighteenth Precinct, became the husband of Miss Katie M. Gibney, daughter of Mr. Charles Gibncy, of 89 Amity streot, a wealthy produce dealer and an old time resident of this city.

Tho ceremony, contrary to general expectaiious, was performed at St. Stephen's Roman Catholic Church, on Summit street, by the llev. Father O'ltoilly, a fact which has occasioned much comment, as Captain Kellett is a Protestant, while his bride and all her family are Catholics and parishioners of Father Fransioli, of St. Peter's. In addition to this, lie bridegroom is not further from 54 years of age than Miss Gibncy is from 2 1.

The marriage, taken altogether, is quite romantic, and the gossips are enjoyim; it Captain Kellett stands 0 feet 5 inches in his stockinged feet, weighs 2(J0 pounds and has not sufficient hair on his head to be worth talking about. What little there is is quite white, as is his fierce and war like looking moustache. The bride is barely live feet high and very nretty, with a wealth of luxuriant tresses. She met her husband, whoso first wife died ten years ago, fcr the first time at her father's home, where Captain Kellett was in the habit of calling frequently. Mr.

Gibney's friendship for tho big hearted policeman, then commanding tho Fifteenth Precinct, which includes much of the Sixth Ward, was in. timate and warm. The acquaintance thus formed ripened into love and the neighbors were not slow to realize the fact. Tho result was considerable comment, much of it unfavorable, and the I'avlaui'n friends were kept busy denying the rumors of the contemplated marriage. Nobody behoved tho denials, however, although bucked up by tho statement of the prospective groom.

To day the gossips are triumphant and there are more people who "knew all about if before last evening than the happy couple have any idea of. The fact that the alliance was strenuously opposed by Captain Kellett's family is dwelt unon with particular emphasis by some of the rich widows and elderly spinsters, who, to use a Sixth Warder's expression, "had (heir hooks out for him." which, put into Eaoi.h English, means that he bad plenty of fair admirers, some of them fat and most of them forty. The fact that the wedding took place in St. Stephen's hnrch is said to be due to the strained relations cxMri. ig between Captain Kiliett and Father Fran i c.i, the bride's pastor.

When the captain was exiled to the wilds of Bay Ridge the sidents of tho Fifteenth Precinct circulated a petition, which it was intended to present to Commissioner Bell, asking to have him returned. Father Frausioii was the stumbling block, and it is asserted that he was really the cause of the captain's transfer. Four years ago he did a great deal toward having him promoted, but tho favorable reports Captain Kellett made, on several applications for saloon licences against the wishes of the venerable priest made a considerable change in the feelings entertained by the Catholic temperance advocate for the Protestant friend of the saloonkeepers. Captain Kellett has been on the police force over twenty years. Ho was born in Ireland and came to tliU city as a chil l.

He was captain in the Ninetieth New York Itcgimcnt during the war, and was wounded in battle. His courage has never been questioned, and in the case of his wedding, as in many other cases, the obstacles put in his way only made him the more resolved to achieve his object. He is thought more of by the residents of tho various precincts to which he has been attached than any commanding officer in the city, principally on account of his sociability and generous impulses. PARNELL SENDS IUS THANKS To European and American Writers of Congratulatory Letter. Loni'OS, March Mr.

Parnell, finding it impossible to respond to the many letters lie has received from both Europe avid America congratulating him upon the coll ip of tho Times' case against him, desires, through the press, lo heartily thank the writers of the letters. The communications receive. 1 by Mr. Parnell comprise letters from unexpected quarters and from persons in the highest ranks of art, literature and science. Many of the writers say that the revelations of the trial have converted them from to Par it el ism.

The Parnell Commission resumed its sitting this morning. Attorney General Webster narrated the facts in relation to Pigott's communication from Madrid to Mr. Soames. the Tiiiwx' solicitor. He stated that another letter from Pigott had boon received to day.

It had. been posted on March 2. This letter was sent to Mr. Soames' office for "Mr. Potisouby." It was not read in court.

Presiding Justice Haiinan decided that the fact that the Irish World had raised money for the Irish cause did not make the recipient of the money responsible for the articles in the paper, but it was an important link in the evidence referring to the distribution of newspaper inciting to outrage. 11a said that the evidence proved that during 1880 and 1881 copies of tho Irish World were sent either directly or indirectly from the Dublin League officers and were found in possession of League officials. Evidence on this point was adtuissable. The Court assented to Mr. Dillon going to Australia for his health.

Attorney General Webster resumed the. reading of articles from the Irish. World referring to Jlr. Davitt's action in connection with the Home Pule movement. He also read a made by Mr.

Dillon, urging the destruction of the police who were engaged in protecting landlords. CHEEKY XEW YORK THIEVES. 58ov Tlicy ISob the I.ady Passengers on (lie liobtail Cars. The superintendent of the Central Cro.sstown P.ailroad, of New York, complained at Police Headquarters in that city yesterday that thieves harrassei! his cars on Avenue A to such a degree as to cause great annoyance to the company and its patrons. Their particular beat appears to be on the avenue, between Twentieth and Twenty third streets.

The young toughs lie in ambush in the hallways of the tenements watching for the bobtail cars. If any lady passenger gets in or is descried sitting closo to the door with her pocketbook in her hand, after the manner of women going shopping, tho thieves make a sudden dash from the sheltering doorway, flinc open the ear door, snatch the nockethool; from tho astounded passenger and are gone like a flash. Numerous complaints of such robberies have been made in the last few weeks. Inspector Williams gave orders to Captain Clineliy to put his men on the track of the thieves and try to run them down.
