A DOUBLE ANNIYERSAHY. OUR BOYS WIN MANY GOING UP. HE SEEKS LIGHT POSTAL POINTS. HIS WIFE GONE. REUilXGS STILL IX TUB TOILS.

Ho Is Clmrffeil With Imt raunf inff a I ui tod States Detective. United States Commissioner John J. Allen continued taking testimony Tuesday afternoon in the peculiar case that ha i been instituted against Charles F. Rollings, an alleged detective, by the saw General Hazeu, who advised him to call on the Postmaster General. He did so.

Mr. Wells' own account of this part of his visit to Washington differs materially from reports from that city. It is said that the Postmaster General informed him that he regretted his inability to appoint him chief of the finance division in the third assistant postmaster general's office, circumstances having arisen two days beforo making such an appointment impossible. That day Order 07, given above, was promulgated. Mr.

Wells, yesterday to au Eaolb reporter, stated that he merely called on Mr. Wanamaker to bid him good morning and introduce himself. The reports from Washington, giving the sequel of Mr. Wells' first disappointment, an; still more interesting. General Hazen felt very much aggrieved, it is said, and called on Mr.

Wanamaker. He was informed that the Postmaster General had agreed to give all future appointments in the department, with the exception of a few in the office under his immediate supervision, to First Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson. Mr. Wanamaker was very much chagrined at this state of affairs, but it could not be helped. He would, however, give Mr.

Wells the position of chief post office inspector in his own office if The Coney Island Kod aud Gun dab Closes Its Scnwoii. The members of the Coney Island Bod and Gun Club were again favored with beautiful weather for their last shoot of the season of 1888 aud 1889 yesterday at Woodlawu Park, Gravesend. Twenty four went to tho score to shoot for the Blattmacher medal and extra prizes, and some first class shooting was done, each competitor having a chance on shooting off the ties to win a prize, there being no leas thau six outside of tho gold badge. E. Sangnm.

20 yards; H. P. Donnelly, ilii yards, and I. McKane. 2 a yards, killed seven birds straight, and tied for the badge and first prize, which was won on the shoot off by hi.

Sangnm, who killed three more straight. F. Lanzer outshot four others for the second prize, killing nine out of ten. T)r. Norton, also, had four to defeat in the shoot off for the third prize: he killing eight out ot ten.

Tlie contest for the fourth prize was a stubborn one. D. Mousecs, Captain Meyer and W. Allan shot at nine birds each in the. tie shoot, the first missing his ninth bird and the other two divided.

H. Blattmacher won the fifth prize, defeating two others. C. Worn and G. Straub divided the sixth prize.

After the regular shoot a sweepstakes was shot off with seven entries. I. McKane won first, J. Lake second, and Conover third. The full score of the shoot follows: scour; of siroor.

The members turned out in force and a party of invited guests were treated to some good shooting and a walking match, or rather a go as you please race, thrown in. The shoot had liardly progressed for half an hour when an argument arose between two of the guests named Charles Beruet and Bernard Brendel as to their respective abilities as pedestrians. Brendel told of tho timo when he had walked from tho Twenty lifth Ward clear to East New York whilo Beriiot tried to explain how it came to pass that he walked from Fulton Ferry to the classic precincts of the Twenty sixth Ward. The loud conversation frightened the birds and two members of the club decided upon a plan to get rid of the alleged pedestrians. One praised Beinet abilities and made a sham wager with the other plotters that Brendel would bo nowhere in a race.

The wiger was accepted and Bemct and Brendel fell into the trap. Schiel lein's Hotel, a distance of four miles from the starting place, was selected as the objective point and the man reachiug there first was to be the winner. The two men started on a dead run, but no one accompanied them. Both are heavily built and the way they plowed their course through farms, over fences aud along tho streets of the Twenty sixth Ward was in itself au unique spectacle. Beruet, the stouter of the two, reached the hotel first.

A moment later Brendel entered and Beruet declared himself the winner. "Winner of what?" asked Brendel. "Huh exclaimed Beruet. "Winner of what? Why, winner of well, I'll be durned." "We've both been fooled," said Brendel. "So we have," chimed itBeruet.

The fact of thu matter was tliat the two racers had got the impression into their heads that the winner of the race was to take the money put up as a wager. When too late they discovered that the bet was on their respective abilities and that thoy had run four miles for nothing but the amusement of those who were laughing in their sleeves at the Old MH1 Landing. Meanwhile the shoot went along smoothly. Each man shot at .1 birds, with the following result: n. S.

The Quaker City Hen Were Unable to Hit Lovctt The Bridetrrooms to Plaj Their Second Game To day "With the New Turks at Washinston Parlr. CoxrraExrAi. Hotkl, Philadelphia, April 10, 1880. I drooped in upon tho Urooklyn boys at noon to day, at this hotel, which will bo their head quarters this season when they visit this city, and I found them, ono and all, from Manager Mo Ciunniiile and Captain l'outz, down to the mas cot, feeling tine over their noteworthy victory in defeating the strong league team against them yesterday.

The veteran Harry Wright, who. though like all good managers does not like defeat, would rather see Brooklyn take his team into camp than any other in tho association, said that if the Brooklyns kept up the gait which marked yesterday's contest he was satisfied they would bo in the lead in the American race by October. A peculiar feature of yesterday's contest was the action of what is known here as tho "Athletic crowd" of spectators, who regularly occupy one portion of the seats when they visit tiie Philadel phia grounds, just as the Philadelphia ('lub's patrons do when they visit the Athletic grounds Yesterday the Athletics "rooted" as Charley Ebbetts says for the Brooklyns, they heartily cheering every good hit and fine piece of fieldin the Brooklyns did iu the game. Of course, when tho score of the Boston and Athletic game was bulletined and it was seen that they were leadin the great league team, mere was uproarious ap plause from the Athletic quarter in the crowd of spectators; but when the score of the final inning came ami Boston was seen to be the victor, it was the Philadelphia league elnb's turn to crow. Corkhill, when he went to the bat, received a hearty round of applause from tho crowd at large.

The weather to day proved very favorable for the'game and the atteuuaneo was largely in creased in consequence. The lino ijarae the Brooklyns put up yesterday also had its influence in tliis respect. THE (i.MiK. Play was called at p. M.

by Umpire McQuaid, and the Philadelphias sent, the Brook lyns to the field, Lovett and Visnor being the bat tery players. Though Decker led off bytakin his base on balls, he was finely Ihrowu out iu trying to steal second, and as the other two gave the infielders chances to throw them out the Phillies drew a blank. On the part of Brooklyn the first three strikers gave easy chances for outs and were duly retired in order. In the second inning, after Th.impson had been given his base on balls, Irwin, Kirby and Hall man made safe hits, ou which hompson aud Clements scored runs, and, after Irwin had been forced out at second and Biifiinton thrown out. Decker ended the inning by striking out.

On the other side, after Burns had been caught out. Corkhill bit a ball to short left field, which was beautifully stopped by Irwin and thrown in timo to Decker at first, but be dropped the ball, and Corkhill afterward stole to second. O'Brien then Btruck out, and Smith was given his base on balls, and Lovett ended the inning by fouling out. This left the score at 2 to 0 in favor of tho Phillies. In the third inning Andrews opened with a fungo ball to Corkhill, and Mulvey was given a life by Smith.

On Thompson's sacrifice he reached second, but in trjing to steal third he was finely thrown out there by Vinuor, and the Phillies drew their second blank. Ou Brooklyn's part Yisner hit fungo to Irwin and retired; Piukney made a similar hit to center, but he was given a life by Andrews, and on Foutz's telling hit to right field he reached third, but he was left there, as Burns gave Thompson a catcli. The Phillies again drew a blank in the fourth inning, though Irwin opened with a clean hit. In trying to steal second Visiter threw him out handsomely, and, as the next two hit fungo, tho Phillies drew their third blank. On the part of Brooklyn in this inning, after Corkhill had fungoed out, O'Brien was given a life on Mulvey's good assistance by Decker's error at first base; and on another error by Decker Smith CRcaped an out, O'Brien stealing to third ou tho error.

Lovott was then given a base on balls, and with two men on bases Visjior hit a hot grounder to Irwin, which he could not stop, and on this hit Smith and Lovett scored, O'Brien having previously been Hont home by a bad throw by Buflin ton to Mulvey. Visner tried to steal second, but wan thrown out there, and as Pinkncy hit to Irwin the inning ended, leaving the score at 3 to 2 in favor of Brooklyn. In the fifth inning, though five of the Phillies went to the bat and Bultiutou made a two bagger, not a run was scored, two men being left by tho good fielding of Smith and Pinkney. On the other side Collins opened with a base hit, and ho would have been forced off by Foutz but for Buffiutou'd bad throw to second. By a good steal Collins reached third, and on the next lly catcli he stole home, the next two retiring by fungo hits.

This left Brooklyn in the van by 4 to and their stock rose in the market. In tho sixth and seventh innings neither side added to their score, the pitching 011 both sides being vory effective aud the field support better than before. In the eighth inning the Phillies drew their seventh blank, two fine catches of lino balls by Font, and Smith being noteworthy. On the part of Brooklyn in this inning they would have retired in order but for a muff by Irwin; but after tho escape Lovett made a base hit, and two mon were on bases when Visner struck out. The ninth inning was now begun with Brook lyn in tho van.

Clements opened wilhabaso ou balis; Kirby struck out; then Hallmau forced out Clements. BufHuton was next, and ho hit a long ball in right field which Burns would have got but for slipping down, and this let Ilallman score. Decker then hit to Corkhill who throw the ball home, cutting off Buffinton at the plate, and that ended the inning and ga ve the game to Brooklyn by 4 to 3. The bulletin at center field had by this time recorded tho defeat of tho Ath letics at Boston, and so the two Philadelphia elnbs were again whipped. The crowd numbered about two thousand five hundred, and it was easy to see that thoy did not relish the defeat.

Lovett pitched a fine game, and 111 tho whole nine innings but one run was scored by an error and that was in the second inning. I'HILADELl'ItlA. DllOOKLTS. ll.ru. P.O.

O. last evening celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of its institution and the seventieth anniversary of the Order of Odd Fellows with .111 entertainment, an address and a reception at Saengerbnnd Hall, Smith and Schormerhorn streets. There was a large attendance, and everything passed off in the most approved style. The programme was a good one. and the audience showed its appreciation by applauding each member.

The onter tainment opened with au overture, by the orchestra, after which Past Grand Jones, as chairman, introduced Past District Deputy Grand Master William Sehroeder as speaker. He spoke as follows ou the institution and progress of the order: Ladies and Gentlemen and Brother Odd FellowsOccasionally we are called on to address an audience, the persons composing which know one better than the speaker. In such a position I am placed this evening. The Order of Odd Fellowship has so many g.iod features that almost everyone of ns can say something in its behalf We need not go back and trace its early history and compare it with tho remotest ages of the world. Our order hud its birth in the City of Baltimore on April M(i, 1810.

Thomas Wilder, its founder, at once made known that its princi should be based on Friendship, Love and 'ruth, as it was these that were inculcated iu his bosom in the parent order. As every government is held together by the love of its citizens, so it is with onr order. The love that each member bears toward the other has proved to be the stability of the Order of Odd Fellows. By this we are able to act with that unity which in itself is streiiL'th, and thereby accomplish the greatest amount ot goott tor our leltow members. There has never been anything of great magnitude accomplished without associations.

No general would think of lighting a great battle with his soldiers scattered over a large plain. It is by unity of action that great results are accomplished. We look with wonder 011 the great bridge which connects this city with New York, not stopping to think that it is composed of a large number of wires bound together, indicating that in union there is sircngtli. So it is with our order, winch in 18 10 numbered only five members. As we have reamed the allotted time of man three core years and ten we have taken root iu every State iu the Union and have extended our usefulness to the islands of the sen.

even to the Old World. In Germany, France and the Scandinavian countries our order is in a flourishing condition. In looking over tiie roll of membership I find there are about ftiiO.OOO Odd Fellows gathered under the banner of Friendship, f.ove and Truth and that these brothers hold their membership in about S.ftOO lodges. These expend annually about for the relief of members in sickness and distress. In 1830 the City or Brooklyn contained 30,000 inhabitants: in 1800 it is expected to reach 1,000,000.

It was in 1830 that the first lodge of Odd Fellows was instituted Brooklyn Lodge No. M(i. How glorious has been the record siuco then. There are now forty live lodges in Kings County, with a membership of 0,000. New Vork State has alone about sixty thousand members of the order.

Among the prominent Brooklyn lode.es is the one that this evening celebrates its fifteenth anniversary. Let us recall for .1 moment the beautiful name of Jopua. How pleasant it sounds on the ear. Being a tower in Palestine and the ancient seaport in Jerusalem, it was there that i 1. and marble, to be forwarded overland to Solo mons temple.

We also learn from sacred history that its shores are exceedingly rough and much dreaded by navigators Ho it was with the early hi tory of Joppa Lodge. meetings were rough and the breakers 1 use higher and higher. so that at one time we expected to be wrecked en tirely. Out oeing composed ot good navigators, who took the helm, we were guided safelv over our sea of trouble. Good management has caused the membership of the lodge to iucreaso from M3 charter members to 18.

The address was followed by tho remainder of the programme. It comprised a violin solo, Pro fessor Adolph Kiichner; song, Miss Diaz: reci tation, E. M. Osborne; tumbleroiiicon, Mrs. A.

CHARLEY JOHXSTON'S ENTERPRISES. Backer of John Lawrence Sullivan ami I'nddy Smith. There is no busier sporting man in Brooklyn than Charloy Johnston, the well known bonifaco of Fulton and Midd igh streets. Ho thinks John L. Sullivan is the bes heavyweight fighter in the world and that Paday Smith, of this city, can down any lightweight in tho country.

He is also dilling to back his opinions with money, and 011 Tuesday he and Smith called at tho office of tho I'olwe Gazutk; in New York, and Mr. John ston planked down, in tho language of the prize ring, M. iO cases, but more commonly known as $Mo0. This was a deposit to bind match between Hmitli and any lightweight in tho country for $1,000 a. side and the Polk Gazelle, diamond belt.

Smith is an ambitious slugger and he wants to be the champion at his weight about 130 but Jack MoAuIiffe, who took the wind out of Cyclone Myer in the North west recently, holds the belt, and he doesn pro pose, he says, that anybody shall get it from him without a hard contest for it. This Paddy Smith says he is willing to do, and Charley Johnston believing that he is not only willing but able to do it, has put up his money to prove it. Ho wants the light to tike placo not more than livo or six weeks from date of signing articles. Smith has fought one good tight, with Jimmy Mitchell, of Philadelphia. Mr.

Johnston's other enterprise is backing John Tj. Sullivan against Jake Kilram. The ox Boston pugilist visited his saloon ou Fulton street Tues day night, and there was a levee of prize fighters backers, sports aud men about town for an hour or two that created envy in tho breasts of ,1 large number of men who saw it between drinks. Sul livan looked all right physically, and denied that he had been ou "a big tear." Yesterday hcCharley Johnston, Jim Wakely and two or three others met Jack Asliton, who arrived about noon from Provi dence. The latter aud Sullivan are to give ex hibitions of sparring in various cities throughout tho country.

DR. EDWARD IJEEtTIER. RcsoltttioiiM of Condolence by the Jen tlcmau's jPIiilnNOphicuJ AMNOciateui At a meeting of the Morrow Literary and Philosophical Club, held at the residence of Mr. Henry S.

WHENCE CAME THE FEVER GERMS An Interesting (Jase on Trial in the Circuit Court, Defense opened yesterday in the suit brought by the Misses Ely against James Armstrong, a plumber in South Brooklyn and New York. Iu the Summer of 1S87 tho Misses Ely rented the house, 14M Columbia heights, for the uses of their school. Tlio defendant was employed to put in a closet and subsequently to run a ventilating pipo to the roof.

The school opened iu the Fall and a number of bowlders were received. Later in tlie season four of the boarders wero takeu ill with typhoid fever, and tho school was closed for a time. Tho plaintiff claims tho sickness in the school and the consequent closing of tho institution for a time and the injury resulting thorefrom were all duo to tho defective plumbing work of the defendant's employes, and ask for $10,000 damages. A good deal of expert evidence was given by physicians as to the nature of typhoid fever germs 3nd how they became implauted in the humau system The defense claim that if the trouble came from tho plumbing it was from the old pipes in the cellar aud elsewhere.

Siiniuc.auco of Mayor Chaprn's Allusions to uio wrowtn ot uroBKiTu dearly a Million Dollars' lVorlli of Permits Ap plied For and Issued. Ihe Spring building boom received a great im petus yesterday by the issue of a large number of permits and the presentation of applications for permits covering different sections of the city. In his letter to John Gibb, published Tuesday, Mayor Chapin pointed out the marvelous progress nf building in this city, referring particularly to the operations of Commissioner Piatt's department last week, when the permit record was considerably greater than that of any other week in tlie history of the department. All tho indit at ions thus far arc that the number of permits issued this week will be larger still. According to the statements of Piggott, an attache of Com.nissiouer Piatt's ofliee, to whom plans of Imilders are primarily submitted, it appears that the mot of the building going on is iu the Eighteenth, Twenty first aud Twenty fifth wards and parti of the Twenty third Ward.

"The Seventeenth Ward," said he, "is also looming up. There is likewise a great deal of building in the Twenty sixth Ward, but the structures are smaller. The Twenty second Ward is doing considerable, but not so much as it will do a little later on. I allude particularly to the section between Seventh and Ninth avenues and Flat bush avenue and First street. Eighth avenue, iu mv opinion, is to be the Fifth avenue of Brooklyn.

You sec, the lots there come very high, and are covered by restrictions which provide for the vi ction of certain styles of houses, all of them costly. I know of some lots near Union street being sold recently for $11,000 each. The unoccupied Ian I' down there is not owne by any syndicate, but is controlled by parties who have agreed among them elves that only certain classes of buildings shall bo erected. When a man pays 50,000 for a lot he is apt to put something good on it." Among the applications for permits yc. was one from LouisF.

'JThcir Kjrem Arc on (lie 'cderal ICeil Apple BIalU'l. Special to the Eagle. Washington D. April 11. Congressman Wallace appeared in town yesterday after an absence of nearly two weeks, lie was accompanied by the head of his law firm, Judge Arnoux, whom he took around and presented to the Cabinet officers and the President.

The Congressman spent but a few minutes with Secretary Tracy, not long oiiuugh to perfect any plan for an entire, renovation of the civil employes at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. He will, however, confer with the Secretary during the next day or two about changes in several of the fore nianships, where the pressure for removals and appointments is particularly energetic. Mr. Wallace intimates that lie docs not anticipate any immediate solution of the tangle over tlie New York Federal officers. Tho surveyor, naval officer, appraiser, general appraiser and the higher salaried deputies will probably be permitted to liold over some time yet on account of the many conflicting recommendations that have been made to Secretary Windom in favor of numerous applicants.

Mr. Windom explained his inability to make changes throughout his department by confessing that this New York matter completely perplexed him. Supervising Architect Mindrim went up to see iiim with the applications that have accumulated iu the contest, for the superinteuilcncy of the New York Public Buildings. Lo, Dady's name led all the rest." There are live papers bearing on the case, two men wanting the Jersey City place, two the New York City position, and the modest desire of Mr. Dady to assume charge in Brooklyn and both the other cities bunched into one office, as they were four years ago.

The Secretary said he could not take up that matter now. lie is undoubtedly iu favor of bunching the places and giving ihem to one man. but he says he cannot do it offhand No one doubts that Dady is sure of the place, but he will have to exhibit some patience. There is a prevailing belief her" that tiie decision between the candidates for the New York surveyorship will be made about the time Hans 8. Beattie's term expires, which is early in next June, and beyond this many people have strong intentions that the other Federal appointments of peculiar interest iu Brooklyn willbeannouueed before that is mado.

Brooklyn peoplo who have influence with tlie Administration do not want any other appoint ments before the surveyorship is settled for fear of hurting the chances of Mr. Willis. In fact they are rather opposing action in other unarters until Air. Willis is cared for. They did not givo Tanner any support, for the same reason, and in other ways they are exceedingly anxious to com bat the general impression that Brooklyn is get ting too many red apples.

IT IS NOT LOST YET. Heeker llcgius a Civil Suit to He cover Bfler illoney. Notwithstanding the decision of Justice Kennc injustice Naehcr's Court yesterday that Juliuf Rosenheim is absolved by lapse of time from his obligation to return lo Mrs. Dorothea Becker tilt which she placed ill his hands for safe keeping live years ago, Mrs. Becker, through hot counsel, Henry Fuehrer, yesterday commenced a civil action in the City Court against Rosenheim for the recovery of ihe money.

The ease has quite a history. In September, 1880, Henry Becker, husband of Mrs. Dorothea Becker, and Nicholas Amcrdinger committed a violent assault on one William Hauck iu George street, charged with which they were arrested and takeu before Justice Ludwig Soulier and lined $5 each. Meanwhile Huuck had commenced a civil suit iu the City Court against his assailants. Thoy appeared by their counsel, Serviss Price, aud issue was joined.

When the case came to trial tho defendants failed to appear, and Judgment was entered against them for i'MHi. I 1 damages and costs. Mr. Henry Fuehrer appeared, for Hauck and obtained an order for tlte examination of Mrs. Becker, in proceedings supplemental to the action, on return of execution unsatisfied, to discover what, if any, money of her husband's was in her possession, and tho admission was made by her that she had fOOO in tho Williamsburgh Savings Bank in her own name, but that the very day on which the order for her oxamina.

tion was served on her she went to Julius Rosenheim, captain of a company of tho German Sclnict7.cn Corps, of which her husband was a member, and Rosenheim, on learning what had happened, proposed to her tluit sho should withdraw tho money from the bank and place it in his bands for safe koeping. Acting on the suggestion, she drew tho money and placed it in his custody, lie promising to deliver it back to hor husband that evening. As already stated, when Mrs. Becker and her husband visited Rosenheim's house, in Central avenue, that evening, he was gone, aud from that day she did not see him until Monday last. When Mrs.

Becker had testified that she drew tho money troin mo oani sue was in conLempi oi court, and. made aware of her Dredicament, on the advice of Mr. Max Brill she settled with Hauck ou the best terms she could obtain. Tho outcome of the civil suit will be awaited with lunch interest TIIE mu SOUTH DltOOKLY.V CUT. Worlt Heing Pushed With Great Encrfry.

An Army of Employes. Tlie South Brooklyn Railroad and Terminal Company are pushing the work in the big cutting south of Greenwood with great energy, bnt the progress made is little, owing to tho obstac les encountered. A small army of workmen aro at work with pick and shovel and steam hoisting derricks. At thu proposed crossing of the Brooklyn Bath and West End Railroad there aro small mountains of boulders piled around. On Third avenue, a number of men are engaged in putting down the heavy crossings, and in erecting the uprights for the crossing gates, If tho rush of trains that are expected at this point takes place, Thirty ninth struct and Third avenue will be a dangerous crossing, especially on Sundays.

There is very little probability that the road will be operated for a considerable time to come. FIFTH W.Utl) DEMOCRATS.

Unless He Knows Who tho Commissioners Will Be He Will Oppose the Passage of the Mensnre He Warmly Commends tho Action of Assemblyman Aspinall.

Special to the Eagle.l Ausanv. N. April II. Thero is more music over the County Farm bill than over any measure pending in tho Legislature, and Assemblyman Aspinall is enduring more political hauling than he has experienced in his existence to move him from the stand he has taken upon the measure. But he remains iirm, and Mr.

Ripley Popes has strengthened him in his position by assuring him that he is right aud commending him for his action. Speaking to the Eaoi.i; correspondent on the subject last evening Mr. Ropes said: I came here to day to attend a meeting of the State. Board of Charities and, meeting Mr. Aspinall.

I took occasion to say to him that I commended the stand he had taken upon the St. John land Farm bill, and I iiooeel that he would remain firm to the end and not give way to the politicians, who after using him would throw him a idelike a sucked orange. I think his position will be supported by all good citizens of Brooklynprobably notbynianyre.il politicians, who labor for politics more than for the aaving of taxes. When the bill was first spoken of the names of those who were to be appointed under it were told to Xow hear things are changed. How or why I know not, although it is possible to guess.

Tt ought not to be o. The bill is a very important bill. It provides for the. expenditure of a very large amount of money, and it is just to those who an expected to fun i. rti thin money that they should kuo something concerning those who propose to Ap.

niir. Again I repeat that I think Mr. Ah pioa'il, by his course, will best satisfy the good people of Brooklyn, irrespective of party, who are interested in the charities, and I hope he will be tirm to the end. I can't understand why there should, be any darkness or any doubts concerning a measure so important as this. Surely there ought not to bo.

Let those who know and who seem now to hesitate speak out and give us the names of all who are to be clothed with such great authority. If 1 am to be part or parcel of the bill, and the bill as it now rea Is, and as it has passed the Senate makes me so, I am not disposed to encourage its passage until I have more light. I was told plainly at the outset that Mr. Bay, the present president of the Commissioners of Charities and Corrections, was to be one. XowIJiear he is not, and I wonder why.

I should approve of Mr. Hay. I believe him to be an honest man, and certainly his connection thus far with St. Johnland matters has given him experience which is of value and must be of great value if the other appointments or either of them are to bo men who have no knowledge concerning it. I will say this, that I regret the legislation has taken this form.

My plan last year was that the matter should be left in the hands of the Commissioners of Charities and the Supervisor at Large. A bill to that effect was prepared and submitted and put upon its passage. Suddenly there was a silence which lasted for ijuitc while and was broken only by the introduction of a new bill similar to this, the result of which we know. If a. similar practice is to obtain on this bill 1 think it is better rather than to work in darkness or to agree to that of which we know nothing; that we should still wait and rather endure the ills wi: have than fly to those wo know not of.

I am, how evor, ready to do all in my power to promote the passage of this bill, but before doing so desire to be. satisfied concerning the parties who are to work under it. That is my position." YACIITINi; NOTES. Ileal of Activity iu Local Shipyjinl i. A Great all tliv Active preparations are being made by the East Itiver and Williamsburgh Yacht clubs for the coming season.

Boats are being overhauled and painted and generally being put, in condition for tho Spring regattas. The scone at the headquarters of each club is an exceedingly busy one theso days. The races promise to bo more closely conteatod this season than they have been in many years. Both clubs are in a nourishing condition, and tho membership of each is constantly increasing. Thero is considerable talk of new boats to be built before the June regattas.

The removal of Henry Piepgras' well known shipyard from Pottery Beach, where it had been established for years, to City Island, it was thought, would injure the activity in yachting affairs of that section of the Eastern District, but it has not, apparently. Mr. Piepgras is now very comfortably established in his new ouarters and has his hands fall of work. Two of tho yachts which aro most looked to at present to uphold the supremacy of America against Lord Dunraven's Valkyrie in the forthcoming international ruces aro now in his yard. They are the ICatrina ami Titania.

Tho latter was built a little more than two years ago in Piepgras' former shipyard at Pottery Be ach, and he is especially interested, on that account, in her future achievements. The two are being thoroughly overhauled. Their bottoms are being scraped and they will be polished and cemented and receive two coats of red and white lead. They may be confidently looked to to give a good account of themselves during tho season, and if either is selooted to meet the much vaunted Valkyrie, to show her what fast sailing really is. The new sloop yacht Hypatia, which has been built by Mumm, from his own designs, for Mr.

James Weir, of this city, is an exceedingly pretty little vossel. She has been constructed with a view rather to comfort than to speed. is Ho feet in length on the water line, her breadth ot beam is feet and she has a foot draught. Her cabin is a charming little apartment, and she has a large stateroom and accommodations forward for two persons. A great deal of overhauling of yachts is being done at this yard.

The steam launches Floss, oftned by Mr. W. W. Westinghouse, and the Bopeep are being overhauled by Piepgras. Mr.

lionald Thomas' steel yacht Moutecito is almost, ready to be launched at Piepgras' yard. She is now receiving her rigging. Work is being rapidly pushed on Mr. E. D.

Morgan's Burgess cutter Tomahawk and Burgess' schooner Constellation by Piepgraa. The former is nearly plated and her deck will soon bo laid. Only a little more plating is needed by the Constellation. The membeis of tho Brooklyn Yacht Club have decided to withdraw from the Yacht Bacing Association. On May 30 the club will give a ladies' reception.

NIXETEEX XEW PATU0L.1IEX. Police Commissioner Hell Bcgfins au Arduous Task It was a busy day at Police Headquarter. yesterday, Commissioner Bell having begun his arduous work of selecting 137 new patrolman. This will bo followed with the choice of two captains for the proposed new precincts, one to be near the City Hall and the other in the Twenty lif th and Twenty sixth wards, and the sergeants and roundsmen for these precincts. Thirty seven of the patrolmen to be chosen aro to till vacancies that already exist in the department and tho remaining hundred will go iuto the new precincts.

The Commissioner began to give audience to the men whom he had decided to choose from the eligible list formed a fortnight ago and at o'clock announced the following nineteen appointments and the precincts to which thoy had been assigned: Patrick Dounelly Precinct; Israel Brooks, Ninth; E. J. McGlynn, Sixteenth; John F. Me Caun, Twentieth; H. O'llare, First; John Alfery, Sixth: John Collins, Third; Joseph T.

In tho suit of George Thiemann, of 76 Ivy street, agaiiiBt Margaret and Alphonse Major, of 15 Concord street, which was tried in tho New York Court of Common Ploas, the Jury found a verdict for tho defendants.

The trial lasted four days. Tho case, which has already been reported in the Eaole, was a curious one. In 1887 the defendant, Major, manufacturer of Major's cement, gave a hill of sale of the proporty in his store, 232 William street, Now York, for $2,000, to Thio'mann, thon a clerk in his employ. The bill of sale was given to Thiemann to roconvoy to Mrs. Margaret Major, who had advanced her husband $2,000 to use in his business.

Major explained in his testimony that he thought it illegal to make a direct bill of sale in favor of his wife. In Juno, 1888, Thiemann was discharged by Major and brought action on the bill of sale, claiming it to bo his own proporty and not, aa alleged by Major, only hold in trust for Mrs. Major.

It is not alone that in these two branches of the Government the "system of rota the principle that the victors belong the spoil: has been renewed with the hungriest sort of pernicious activity: but in the Post Office Department James S.

O. P. are freely predicting that John Wauauukcr will be compelled to resign in less than four months.

To give an idea of the dntie i and powers of these two officials and those of some other heads of offices in the same department the following is taken front the rules governing the organization of the United States Post llli Depart ment The Unties of the office under the immediate supervision of the Postmaster General include usually among other thin us the appointment of department employes. To the office are attached the disbursing clerk, who pays all salaries of employes of the department: the office of chief post office inspector, to which are referred all cases of losses or irregularities in the mails and all reputed violations of the postal laws ami all ao conntfl of post office inspectors for alary and allowance. All cases of mail depredation or violation of law by private expenses or by the forging or illegal use of postage stamps aud all losses or irregularities in the mails (cxet pt delays in the receipt of mails) are reported to the chief post office inspector.

The Wells incident above referred to is cited as proof that James S. Clnrkson is master of the Bifuation in Washington in the matter of appointments in the Post Office Department. That view Of the ease is fully sustained by an order found Oil page Hi of the I'uslnl for April, just issued.

iIAKKK, Postmaster General. This order is generally considered the completion of handing over all power of appointments nml removals to the great scalper from Iowa, the man who presided at the convention that nominated Harrison, and who, as a reward for that and other valuable party services, expected to be made Postmaster General.

Bingham, of George Washington Wells had been in the Post Office Department nearly twenty years last December, wh' ho As chief of the division of finance, where about 000,000 passed through his hands, he was considered one of the. most capable men in the service. General Abraham D. Hazen knew him as thoroughly i Indent, and as soon as he was made third assistant postmaster he offered Mr. Wells his old position.

Postmaster General Wanamaker approved of the selection as eminently for the good of the service, but Grand Scalpor James Clarkson prevented the appain tmont. The chances shown by the list given above of the holders of places in the four principal offices in the General Post Office Department are as fol lows: J. X. Teiier of Indiana, vice E. E.

So is the position of chief inspector in Mr.Waiianiaker's office. The chief clerkship of the finance division Third Assistant Postmaster General Hnzcn's office is now held by Mr. A.

W. Bingham, of Michigan. He was a clerk in the office last December when Mr. Wells resigned, and ho vras made chief temporarily. His placo is wanted by Grand Scalper Clarkson, and that is why (ieneral Ilazeii could not get it for his old and efficient chief G.

W. Wells. On the of last month Mr. Wells, who engaged in the insurance business at Broadway and Cedar street, New York, received a letter extending to him an offer from Postmaster General Wanamaker, through General Hazeii, of the office of chief of the financial division. The let ter stated that the position was his, and, as ho was known to want it, to come right on to Washington.

The next day, the Mr. Wells tele graphed to General Hazel) that he was coming nd left for Capital. Upon arriving there he found, to his a. toiiishnient, that there was a hitch jnd that be could not then get the position. He Federal authorities here.

The preliminary examination was held on Saturday afternoon and it showed that Rollings, who lives at M08 Manhattan avenue, Greenpoint, had passed himself on H. B. Potter, a nephew of ex Congrossman Orlando B. Potior, as a United States independent detective. The allegation was also made by Potter, who lives at 173 Java street, that Rollings employed him (rotter) as a and sent him to shadow the movements and endeavor to entrap Miss Lottie Wornw.

a stylish, black eyed Hebrew boauty, who lives at 007 Lexington avenue. New York. Totter told a circumstantial story of the affair. He was eipially rcady to swear to other allegations against Rollings, including a charge that the snppo ed secret service man had been emnloyc.l by Mrs. Potter under false representations, and that for his work he drew $750.

The alleged false representation consisted in tho declaration that he was a United States officer and as such was empowered to arrest people without a warrant and bring them from State to State without, extradition The Federal Government allows no interference with its functions in this regard and iu tho'Re vised Statutes of the United States there in an act making such false representation a serious crime. Mr. Itelliugs, with two lawyer appeared on Tuesday afternoon. The alleged detective had been unable to secure bail on Saturdiy. and his throe days iu Raymond Street Jail had not freshened him up any.

Counselor Willi ins, who represented him at the lirst hearing, was reinforced bv the presence of Aitornev Tubble, an ancient and somewhat decayed limb of the law. Mr. Tubble's overcoat bore the marks of many Winters; hit shoes were down at he, and his gray h.iir wa protected from the storm when he went abroad by a hat of ist evident autiipiily. Mrs. Kvaline B.

Potter, wife of the principal witness, corrob orated her h'isband's iv iu all essential particulars, and the Co nmis mer set out to fit the amount of hail. Tlio bond was put high ou Saturday, and consequently Killings could not secure his temporary freedom. Allen, with that tolerance for which he is u.ife I. reduced the amount largely, and was evi preparing to lower it still further when Mr. t.trted iu to show why Rollings sbonld not be held for the Federal Grand Jury at all, anil to U.ilisli the case so caretully made by Assistant Ui.it net At torney John L.

Devenny. We claim," argued Mr. 'i'uttle. that nnles i the evidence of fraud or au intent to defraud be tablisheii hero Rollings should not be held." Mr. Allen was of the opinion that by carrying a badge with U.

S. 1. Detective" printed thereon and introducing himself as a detective Rolling. came wilhiu the purview of the statute. Well, how would it he." continued Tuttlo, reluming to the atisck.

"if I wero to go to my grocer to morrow and, after casually mentionin that 1 had been appointed a United States official, ask for and receive credit for good i sent around to my house Would I be amenable under the statute The Commissioner was apparently dc crum nf humoring tiie lawyer, and answered this and other quest hum for hi! If an tecie. Then he call 'd lte'lings over and said, "Can yon get bail "Cm afraid not," the alleged detective answered, as ho movml his chair toward the Commissioner's table. "You see," he continued, "the publication of the matter has worked iuJurioiNly for me with my friends, and I'm afraid 1 cannot get bondsmen. "I should think yOu would let him go on his own reeiigni.aiiee,' observed Lawyer Tubble. Well, I never tix bail at any lower sum than f.

00," said the Commissioner, "and I will make it that figure iu this ease." Rollings walked betweun deputy marshals Raymond Street Jail, while his friends were looking for two sureties iu the small amount named. The defense will be begun on Friday. THE FESTIVAL.

Ho was a trustee of the Village of Jamaica and ou Tuesday the Board accepted his resignation. Mr. Williamson will tesido in Brooklyn after May 1. that gentle man would take it. Mr.

Wells' answer to that olfcr is given below in tho report of an interview with him. General Hasten argued that it was unfair to deprive him of the rightof appointing his own chief of finance, and that under the circumstances he could not Justly be held responsible for the efficiency of the work in that office. A friend of his appealed to First Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson, but the answer was "The man now in that position is doing well enough and is entirely honest. If he resigns or is I shall name his Mr. Bingham is a licpublieaii.

Iicptwiieans mid I'epublicau newspapers of tho strict party kind are. standing by Clarkson, and both Mr. Wanamaker and General Hazen, who is a personal friend as well as a subordinate of the Postmaster General, are reported us thoroughly and contemplating resignation. A reporter nf the Faoi.i: found Mr. Wells at his place of hii docss yesterday.

Th' vi i'in of Grand Scalper CI on's pernieiom activity said: I cannot show you the letter 1 received on the of but can say this: Jt was not a letter from Mr. Wanamaker. I was not given the position of chief of the finance division by General iiazen. and I never saw Mr. Clarkson.

Aa otl'e. has en made tome to take the position, but I have not yet decided to take or refuse it. Mr. Bingham, who now holds it, is a personal and dear friend of mine. We worked together many yea re and I would not do anything to injure him.

When I went to Washingion on March is. it was only partly due to His I tter I had received tie day before. I would have gone anyway on private matters incident to my sudden removal from Washington. When I saw Mr. Wan amal.er it was only for a to shake his hand and say Good morning, Mr.

Wanamaker." "Were you spoken to about taking the position of chief post office inspector the reporter at ked. 1 1 prefer not to answer that," was the answer. "How do yon account for the fact that, cilice your return from Waiddiie tou, among postal officials in Washington, New York and Brooklyn, you are said to have sought and been refined the chief inspectorship "Well, when I was chief of the finance division in the third assistant postmaster general's office, I had ii great, deal to do with the inspector's division, and when I went to Wadiingtou I paid a short visit to my friends there. Kvcrybody se' ined to think I was to bo appointed chief of the division and they snid so and that prolcihly starled tin report." ''Then the place has not been offered to you "It has not." "Would you accept it if it was olVcred to you "No. You can say that I would not accept it as a gift." Mr.

Wells is a llepublican. The reporter said to him that perhaps he would stand a bettor show for appointment at the hands of the First Assistant Postmaster Goneral if he was an active politician in and out of office. "I believe the. work of the Government," said Mr. Wells, "should be conducted on business principles.

If anybody expects anything else from me he can count me out of any position." MILLS IS AFTER THE SPOILS.

Wit a llepublican Mayor the affairs of this city will be so administered that Brooklyn will become a llepublican city and Xew York Stale will no longer be regarded as doubtful, but will always be relied upon.

SuneiTiKor William Mills thanked the Benja min Battery tor the kind attention shown bytes members to those of the Garth. Id Battery in Washington during the inauguration. The numicau party was a coiulition now to elect a Kopiiblieau Mayor and a Republican Board of Supervisors. This could be done if individuals, having alj personal smbition out of sight, would mute on the city and county ticket. There was an immense amount of patronage in Brooklyn mure than the United States could give her aud it would come under Henub'ican control with a Kepubliean Then to the victors would belong the.

Tlio Civil Service only furnished pretexts for keeping poor men out of employment. The scandal in the County Clerk's office and the St. Johnland scandal were bound to tell disastrously on the Democratic party in the Full: the Nineteenth Ward alone would roll up a Republican majoriti' of for the city and county ticket.

Addresses were also mado by Messrs. Theodore Wich, of the Sixteenth Ward; E. Thinkhani, of the Fifteenth Ward: August Somer and others. OBITUARY. Iviiocli v.

PAINTED BY A CHINAMAN. In the framing department of artist A. A.

Wells' studio, 1 0 Columbia street, waiting to bo varnished is a very interesting picture. It is 5 feet inches in length by feet 0 inches in height and represents the British ship, Walter H. Wil son, under full sail, her four masts crowded with canvas, careening over to a stiff bretzo. Part of the interest attached to the picture lies in tho fact that it was painted by a Chinaman, Kong Wein. and although it can hardly bo considered as a work of art, its nautical accuracy makes it well worthy of mention.

The picturo is tho property of the captain of the Walter II. Wilson and will form one of the chief adornments of that vessel's saloon. ST. ADGVSTINE'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH. Bishop Littlejohu was present last evouing at St.
