MISCELLANEOUS. ATLANTIC AVENUE COMMISSION. IN TEE NATIONAL GUARD. LAST OF THE MONITORS. It makes light.

I workof a heavy wash, docs i The steamer Grand Republic last evening carried a comfortable number of passengers up the Hudson. They were pleased with the novelty and surprised at the manner in which the affair was managed. Two stages are erected, one on the hurricane dock and one on the promenade deck, so far apart that they do not conflict. The artists this week include Professor Lent's orchestra, Layman, the man with a thousand faces; Walter Rogers, cornetlst; the Cecilia quartet, George W. Day, comedian; Miss Geromo Edwards, vocalist; Yale Banjo trio and Arthur Fordyce, singer.

To morrow evening the Grand Republic will sail to Sandy Hook. Brooklyn Music Hall. With first class attractions weekly the Brooklyn music hall continues to cater to largo audiences. Last night a now bill was presented and the place was crowded. Bruns and Nina carried off the honors with a funny sketch, which contained a mixture of all the popular songs.

In these Professor Robert Perry assisted with excellent effect. Rita Duran'd sang, Kelly and Gray presented an amusing act, Cllvotte danced, Blocksom and Page presented their entertaining skit, "The Sporty Boys," Connolly and Moye were clever in an adaption from one of Gus Heege's plays, the Venetln sisters sang and danced and Willi P. Swcotman made merry. Next week, the mimic four and others. night appeared Second Lieutenant Elect John T.

Hettrick of Troop C. He passed. The examination of Flr3t Lieutenant Elect Tuttle was adjourned. Howard Starrett of the Third battery, who was recently appointed commissary sergeant by Captain Rasquin, went down to the troop camp at Fort Hamilton last night and va3 examined by Lieutenant Smith of the troop and Lieutenant Lalng of the battery. He was found to be qualified for the place to which his captain had assigned him.

In Sunday's Eagle were printed the totals of the scores made last week by the officers and non commlssloned staff of the Twenty third regiment on the pistol range at Peek skill; also, half a dozen of the best scores in detail.

J. ffl WHICH WILL GO INTO COMMISSION IN SEPTEMBER. Waiting for the Long Island Railroad Company to Present a'Plan. Monday's meeting of the Atlantic avenue commission in the real estate exchange was of an executive character and nothing was accomplished toward the end in view, except an informal discussion among the members of the commission as to what plan of action was necessary to pursue in arriving ait a decision. The next meeting which will be held on Monday, July 27, at 3 o'clock, will be an open one when anyone who may desire to present ideas will be heard.

Edward F. Linton, secretary of the commission, said to an Eagle reporter: "We are waiting for the Long Island Railroad company to give us same plan they approve of. That company Is tho most Important factor cn the avenue and it has been asked to give us Its idea cf what is best in the premises looking for the relief sought. We think that Inasmuch as they are on the avenue, and have been there so long, and as their use ot the street is the principal reason for going into the matter, any plan they would present would be a basis for the action of the commission. There have been plenty of plans suggested, but we must have financial help in paying for the Improvement.

The Long Island Railroad company Is the only Interested factor that can give us financial help, and it i3 but reasonable that they should be given an opportunity to be heard properly. The death of Mr. Corbin was a great loss to the consideration of the matter, and it is not to be expected that at once the company can take up the question and handle it as it would have done had Mr. Corbin been alive to advise. The company has already given to the commission facts covering the depression of the track from Flatbush avenue to Vesta, but what use would that be when the Twenty sixth ward is considered? They will give us fuller data covering the same work to the city line, and then we shall have something to work on.

It would be very much better, if only a part of the track is to be de pressed, to nave the track above ground west of Vesta avenue than east of it. A great deal mere traffic is had on the avenue In the Twenty sixth ward than anv orhfir nan u'lfh. in the city limits, and the amount of crossing and recrosslng oT travel Is greater than on any other part of the line. All the freight coming from Bay Ridge and other parts ot the road converges at Manhattan Junction and much of it goe3 east from there so that that Is the most important part to be depressed. A great deal of criticism Is made of the commission by those who doubtless do not iuuy appreciate tne work it has to do, its limit of power and the effort It is making to arrive at some acceptable conclusion.

The members of the commission are giving their time to the matter without compensation or hope of reward, and they are powerless in an executive capacity, being only of anadvisory character.Some have said, 'Depressj The road," but that cannot be accomplished merely by saying so and waiving the hand. Others say, itmc iuc rauroaa on tne street. xne commission can no more do that than thev can remove the President of the United States. we are glad, to hear of any plan honestly presented, backed by some financial assistance, and the public must bear in mind that the interests to be conserved are great and cannot be dismissed without very careful and thorough consideration. The members ot the commission are as anxious as any other citizen can be to have the matter settled as early as possible, but it will be some months before the end will be arrived at.

We shall probably hold meetings all through the summer. Many of these meetings will be of an executive, character, for the reason that many questions will 'require deliberate discussion, but the public will at no time rom information on any point that Is ot zl io." THEEATS OF LYNCHING Heard at the Thornton InquestTom linson Found to Be the Assailant by the Coroner's Jury. There was considerable excitement in and about the Herbert street police station last night when a formal inquest was held in the case of Michael Thornton, the sergeant at arms of the Jefferson club of the Eiehteenth ward, who, it is alleged, was fatally stabbed by Thomas Tomllnson at a Democratic meet ing in the hall at 520 Humboldt street last Saturday night. Several hundred people surrounded the station house during the entire evening and at one time it was said that a mob had been organized for the purpose of lyncning lomnnson snoniQ an attempt be made to take the prisoner from the police station to the Jail. While the conorer's Jury was deliberating a young woman made her way through the crowd and entered the police station.

She brushed hastily past the score of witnesses and spectators in the station and started toward one corner of the room where Tomllnson was sitting. The young woman was within a few feet of Tomllnson when she was recognized by Detective Sergeant Donlon as a sister of the murdered man. He seized Miss Thornton and as he led her out of the court room, she said: "Oh, Just let me shake hands with the man." Detective Sergeant Donlon Informed Miss Thornton that ahe had better go home, and after some hesitation she obeyed his command. Few If any new facts were brought out in the inquest. Coroner Nason examined a dozen witnesses, all of whom told substantially the same story that has already been published in the Eagle.

William Johnson of 186 Bayard street was the first witness called. He did not see the stabbing and all that he knew ahout the case was that he helped Thornton to the Nineteenth precinct police station shortly after the latter was cut. Tomllnson, who occupied a chair near the coroner, listened attentively to Johnson's testimony and when the witness described how Thornton became unconscious soon after being taken to the station house, the prisoner wept bitterly. From that time or. until all the testimony was in, Tomllnson cried frequently.

Barclay Grimes of 504 Humboldt street, who is known in the neighborhood as Bat Grimes, was the second witness. He began by saying that he knew nothing about the ease, but after a great deal of questioning admitted to Coroner Xason that he accompanied Tomllnson and John Evans to the saloon where the meeting was held. He denied that he saw the fight but Anally testified that he got out of the hall when the row started, because he was a Republican and did not want to get mixed up in a Democratic fight. His brother in law, John Evans, corroborated his evidence. William Burke, who lives at Van Pelt avenue, but did not know the number, was one of the best witnesses for Tomllnson.

He testified that he itnessed all the trouble. He swore that he saw Tomllnson when he left the hall and entered the bar room and that Thornton followed the prisoner at that time. "The. men were having words and I heard Thornton tell Tomllnson that he would have to leave the hall," said Burke. "Thornton replied that he would not go until he got good and ready.

Thornton struck and then they exchanged blows. Thornton's blows were the most effective because he was the largest of the two men. I stepped between tho men and tried to separate them. I succeeded in a measure and then Tcmlinson rushed toward Thornton. The next instant he disappeared and a few seconds later Thornton stepped from one corner ot the room where he was standing and announced that he had been stabbed." Frederick Johnson of 506 Humbildt street was also a good witness for Tomllnson.

He testified that Tomlinson was struck two or three blows before he attempted to assault Thornton. Tomlinson, he said, tried to strike Thornton, but was not big enough to do so. Thornton knocked Tomllnson up against the wall and the latter was getting punched when Johnson left the hall. Johnson admitted to the coroner that he. Tomllnson, Grimes and Evans went to the meeting together.

Coroner Xason reviewed the evidence briefly and the Jury, after a half hour's deliberation, brought in a verdict to the effect that Michael Thornton came to his death from shock and hemorrhage caused by a stab wound produced by a knife in the hands ot Thomas Tomlinson. Tomlinson was not visibly affected by the verdict and he was committed by Coroner Nason to Jail without ball. It was nearly 11 o'clock before the verdict was announced, and even at that hour a big crowd thronged the street in front of the police station. All were friends of the murdered man and it was evident that they wanted to got a look at Tomlinson. After the police heard the rumor that an attempt would be made to lynch Tomlinson when he was removed to Jail there was a hasty consultation, and then it was announced that Tomllnson would be locked up in the station house for the night.

There was a' meeting of the Jefferson club after the result ot the Inquest was announced and President E. A. Langdon appointed a committee to raise funds for Thornton's widow and her five children. Ex Fire Commissioner Enuls was at the meeting and he was named as chairman of the committee. THE PURITAN SOON TO BE READY FOR COMMISSION.

Many Vicissitudes Encountered in the Building of the Five Double Turreted Harbor Defenders Admiral Jewett's Boasts of Their Fighting Qualities. (Special to the Eagle.) Washington, D. July 21 The next two months will witness the final completion and commissioning the last of the double turreted monitors. The navy department has Just received word from the Brooklyn navy yard that the monitor Puritan has been fitted with her heavy turrets and that another month's work on this vessel will put her In shape to be placed in commission. When the flag Is run up over the Puritan It will mark the completion of the last of a quintet of powerful war vessels that have been in the course of construction for' the past twenty years.

In 1S74, during the administration of President Grant, Secretary of the Navy Robeson, who was strongly impressed with the need for an efficient navy, decided to increase the naval force by the addition of five monitors Realizing the difficulty getting the consent of congress to the appropriation of a sufficient sum of money to build the vessels, he directed the chief naval constructor to commence the work at once and to use the funds set aside for repair work for this purpose. Accordingly in 1874 the keels were laid for the Amphltrite, Mian tonomoh, Monadnock, Puritan and Terror. For two years the work on these vessels progressed, until on March 4, 1S77, when Secretary the Navy Thompson, who suc ceeded Robeson, declared that the construc tion of the monitors without the consent of congress was not legal and he immediately stopped the work. This was the first setback that the vessels received and their history from that time up to the date of completion is one continual succession of delays, interruptions and suspensions. For a number of years congress refused to sanction their completion by appropriations and the hulks remained on the stocks until 1885, when the people began to take Interest and to manifest pride In America's naval fleet.

In that year congress made a small appropriation to resume the work and during the next two years the sum of $3,176,046 was made available by congress for the completion of the monitors. Contracts for the work were given out to shipbuilders, but when William H. Chandler assumed the portfolio of the navy department he took the vessels from the private contractors and placed them under government supervision at the various navy yards. The work on the monitors was pushed with more or less vigor and In 1891 the Miantonomoh was completed and placed In commission. The Amphltrite went into commission in April of last year and tho Monadnock also went into service this spring at the Mare island navy yard.

The Terror was completed and placed in commission a few weeks ago at the Brooklyn navy yard. There is very little about the monitors as they now are that resemble the original plans of 1374. At that time there were no breech loading guns, and the placing of the batteries was different from that now In vogue. The designs for the machinery, upper decks and in fact all tho Important features of the vessels, have been changed and modernized. In a desperate engagement these monitors would probably render more effective sen Ice than any type of war vessel afloat They are built on lines that make them capable at receiving an Immense amount of punishment.

Their low hulls and narrow decks present but a small target for the enemy, and the portion' of the vessels that is exposed Is constructed so as to deflect the shots. They are especially adapted for harbor defense, and one of them, it is the boast, anchored In the harbor of New York would be able to withstand the combined attack of any two cruisers or battleships afloat. Admiral Jew ett was the special champion of the monitor type of war vessel, and he has boasted on many occasions that he would take the Puritan to sea and whip anything that dared to come in sight. The Puritan, which is of the same type as the Amphltrite, Miantonomoh, Monadnock and Terror, is technically described as an Iron low freeboard coast defense monitor. She is the largest o' the quintet, being 2S9 feet in length, with a breadth of 60 feet and a mean draft of IS feet.

The others of this class are 256 feet In length and 55 feet in breadth. The Puritan has a displacement of 6,000 tons, which is 2,000 tons more than the displacement of her sister monitors. The main battery' of the Puritan consists of four 12 inch breech loading guns and six 4 inch rapid fire guns. Her secondary battery is made up of six six pounder rapid fire guns and two Hotchkiss revolving cannon. She is equipped with twin screw engines and is capable of a speed of 12 knot6 an hour.

MAYER VERSUS GATN01U HIS HONOR'S FORMER PARTNER REPUDIATES THE PLATFORM. A Letter to the Regular Democratic Ae sociation of His District How Debased Money ould Injure the "Work ingman and the Small Tradesman. William E. C. Mayer, brother in law and former law partner of William J.

Gaynor and a present partner of Edward M. Grout, has written a letter to the regular Democratic association of the Seventh district of the Twenty ninth ward, protesting against the indorsement by that body of tho Chicago platform. The letter was sent to the of the association last night. Following is the text: 634 Flatbush avenue, Brooklyn, July 20, 1S9B. Democratic Association, Seventh District, Twenty ninth Ward: Gentlemen The adoption ot an extraordinary platform for tho Democratic party by the Chicago convention of 1S9G compels me to address to you a remonstrance against any action you may determine to take looking to its indorsement.

The declaration in the Chicago in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at a ratio of 1G to 1 Is. under the oonditlono existing in this country to day, a declaration In favor of silver monometallism. Who believes that any sold would be coined at any such ratio? Who believes that any gold would fall to emigrate or secrete itself? Who believes that a. silver dollar would have any value greater than the commercial or Intrinsic" 'vaiu'eof the metal composing It? Anyone who so believes is a believer In flat money. The prevailing argument of the silverltes is that the acts demonetizing silver 'lessened Its value by taking away the demand for It.

There was no demand for silver for coinage when the act of 1S73 was passed; since that time there never has been any such demand. The demand comes from the sliver mining states exclusively. The demand Is to stamp a government flat of. one dollar on every fifty three cents worth of a once precious metal, since 18T3 become a mere commodity owing to the vast quantities produced and Ms limited commercial and Industrial uses. The free and unlimited coinage of sliver would undoubtedly raise Its bullion value; that It would raise It In value so as to make a silver dollar of the ratio of 16 to 1 of old equal to the bullion value of a gold dollar Is a speculation based solely on premised conditions long since obsolete.

Money Is fast ceasing to be a medium of In fact has almost ceased to be so In Internal commerce. Checks, drafts and notes based on established systems ot exchanges have iirriintiTj it na there. Actual moneV is now only to settle balances, so that. In transactions Involving billions of dollars only a few millions of actual money change hands. The operations of the Xew York clearing house since Its foundation in 1853 is a conspicuous example of this.

I quote from the speech of Mr. J. Edward Simmons, delivered on the occasion of the opening of the new clearing house buildlns In Xew York city on January IS, 1S96: The total transactions from October, 1S53, to October, 1895. amount in all to the sum ot $1,093, 815.813.035 a sum sufficient, if coined into half eagles, laid flat so as to touch each other, to make a golden pathway ten feet wide around the world. The balances were a little more than four and one half per cent, of the clearings, and' even, these balances were discharged, not in currency, but principally by certificates on a common depository.

Take, for instance, the balances for the year 1SS3. One half of one per cent, of these balances, or less than one fiftieth pf one per the entire clearings, was paid In legal coin. Not long ago. when the exchanges averaged $113,019,011 dally, the checks and drafts presented by 'the several banks so nearly offset each other that of every one hundred dollars of the balances all but four dollars and seventy eight cents were paid In checks. What do these figures proclaim? They tell us how Insignificant a role currency I care not whether It be gold, silver or legal tender notes plays in the great mass of business represented by our clearings.

TTnder the clearing house system paper representing the commodities for which it was given circulates as freely and almost as safely as gold and silver coin, and far more conveniently. Is It not, therefore, true that the products ot the country have, to a laTge extent, become our currency? Let assure my countrymen. Xortb. ana South, East and West, that their marketable commodities are the best of currency. Only let them produce enough of these and they need never dread the specter ot poverty.

In International commerce money Is losing its character as a medium of exchange, witness drafts, bill of exchange and letters of credit, and It is slowly, but surely becoming a mere convenience for adjusting balances. To the wage earner and small tradesman only, who are paid and deal In small amounts. Is m'oney a necessity. Coin to pay these people for their labor or for their wares must equal In value the bullion value of the metal composing it. These are the people who will not see gold; these are the people who will carry around the silver Unless the sliver dollar is true to these people, it Is without any fair and equitable uses.

The other principal planks In the platform look in the direction of paternalism in government. There are two forms of paternalism, absolutism and communism. It is a toss which Is the mors undemocratic despotism. I repudiate absolutely any such doctrine as unsafe. I hope my Democratic brethren of Flatbush will not step Into any such pitfall as awaits them on Indorsing the Chicago platform of 1896.

Very truly yours, WILLIAM E. C. MAYER. ALWAYS A DEMOCRAT. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: I have been a reader of your paper for one third of a century and, as a Democrat, have agreed with your sentiments, but your course oil the free coinage question leads me to suspect your Eagle eye has been affected by the glitter of I expected you to advocate free sliver, as It Is an old Democratic doctrine.

I see the advocates of gold alone, called gold bugs, call free silver coinage a revolution. Well. Americans like revolution; It is natural to them; they commenced their political life by revolution and gained their political freedom. Xow, they want another revolution to glvo them free coinage, and they are going to st It. Gold bugs are not a new production.

They existed at the time of the revolution In 1776 and were called torles. The glitter of British gold and their greed led them to furnish cattle to feed the British soldiers and horses and wagons for transporting thflr stolen forage taken from Che revolutionists. They sld their patriot Ism for gold when they piloted the English armies through the few roads that then existed to' surprise the friends of freedom. But the people beat them, as they will now the modern gold bugs, who. many of them, no doubt, are the descendants of torles.

I am a Democrat and have been a voter since 1S40, and have voted thirty three years the Democratic ticket In the Eleventh ward. Brooklyn, July 18. 1886. JOHN" KELLY. HOTEL ARRIVALS.

Justice Osborne in supreme court yesterday gave the first decision under the law prohibiting the maintaining of a liquor saloon within 200 feet of a dwelling unless two thirds of the owners of tho dwellings within that radius consent. The case was that of Adolph Saniuely who had a saloon at 106 Union avenue.

He got a liquor tax certificate in June for the place. It had been conducted by Philip Easier and was closed when Samuely got his certificate. Charles Richter of 10S Union avenue applied to the supreme court to have the certificate revoked and Justice Osborne granted the application. The Justice says the 200 feet limit clause is substantially the same as that of tho law of 1S92, the law of 1S96 providing that the consents ot two thirds of the property owners within the 200 foot limit shall not be required where liquor sales are lawfully carried on at a place when the law went into effect. Protection to liquor sellers who had their money invested at the time the law went Into effect, he eays, was only intended by tho law making power.

Basler had abandoned the placo and had not transferred his llcenso or Ms Interest In the premises to Samuely. On the question of such transfer the Justice does not treat In his opinion. A QUESTION FROM K. ICKER. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eaitle: Would It not be the fair thins for the Seldl society to let the public know if they are to be called upon to pay double the former prices for future evonlnp concerts? Herr Fischer hits a fine voice, and sinKa well: but a concert, plus a few songs by E.

Is not worth twice ns much as the usual orchestral concert, to me, and I know others who hold the same opinion. I am a hard working man, and can so to BrlKhton only In the evenings; but all next week I henr the price Is to be 50 cents for evenlns concerts. The beautiful concerts next Wednesday and Friday afternoons can be heard by those who have leisure (and they are mostly those who have also money) for 25 cents each. Now, as I tuke my wife, and sometimes a friend, the difference Is quite an Item. If there must be a whole week of Fischer, why did not the society arrange to have him, on two or three days, sine In the afternoon instead of the evenlnit? I trust that the.

Attn and succeeding; weeks will be more satisfactorily arranged. Brooklyn, July 19, 1S9G K. ICKER. COMING EVENTS. Picnic and' games of the Irish Federation at Rldgewood park Thursday afternoon and evening, Commonwealth council No.

Margaret Canavello against Perico An tonio Canavello. The plaintiff carries on a boarding house at 2,454 Eighty fifth, street, Bensonhurst, and the defendant is a clerk In a New York wholesale grocery.

They were married in New York in 1890. The cause for the suit alleged is abandonment, the defendant having left his wife on April 12, 1896, taking with him a 5 year old child, Charles Delmonico Canavello. Henry E. Husted, counsel for plaintiff applied yesterday before justice Osborne to supreme court ror m. week alimony and S150 counsel fee.

Mr. Alfred J. Heine opposed, saying that the abandonment alleged was not really an abandonment, the defendant having left his wife for a time in order that she might recover from an unreasonable jealousy. Mrs. Canavello, he said, imagined that her husband was paying attentions to other women, but such was not the case.

Judge Osborne granted the defendant until iWednesday to put in answering affidavits. MUSIC AND FUN. Varied Entertainment at Brighton, Manhattan, Bergen and the Music Hall Emil Fischer, the favorite singer of the audiences at Brighton Beach, was received with great enthusiasm last night when he sang five German songs.
