NOTICES. BOARD OF EDOCATIO N. Proposition for a New Map of Brook nd profitably taught in a nigh or Normal School whtn established, tee compelled to offer for adoption the fi llowing resolution: Resolved, That the teaohing of German In the publio schools of this oity is inexpedient. W. W.

HUBLBnT, "1 A. Ammeesuw, commlttoe. Gabkett Bkboeh, L.V. D. Habdbndebohj Mr.

Kinsella asked that it he laid over for one week. Agreed to. Mr. Kinsella for the Book Committee reported that thoy had decided not to report on any more text books at present except Cooley's Natural Philosophy, as that supplied want in the schools. The first part of the report was not passed.

For the Committee on Mr. Bulkley's salary Mr, Kinsella reported that by that gentleman's request the matter was left over until next July. Warrants for the traveling expenses of the Superintendent and assistant were ordered to be drawn. The Board then adjourned. himself.

There appears only a disenchanting succession of unwomanly thrift and unmanly parsimony in the disreputable and vulgar relations between the murdered man and the witness. It is quite questionable whether she told all the truth, frank to oompromise herself as she was. Witnesses of credibility swore to seeing her in the Degravr street house in circumstances that indicated a habit if not a right of residence there. Upon Hon. Wm.

W. Goodrich devolved tha duty of explicating his brother's life still more minutely. Mr. Goodrich will have the sympathy of every kind heart in the necessary and nauseous task he assumed and the respect of every body for the way in which he assumed it. He disclosed letter received by him from a woman whoBe treatment by Charles Goodrich we prefer to let our readers eharaotarize.

The woman seems to have brought to the dead man an honorable affection. He seems to have treated her to a inoak marriage, to a miserly maintenance, to summary abandonment in her supreme hour, and to diabolical ejection thereafter. There may be excited by this murder curiosity, sensational interest and a desire for legal justice to be done on the guilty. But sympathy for the object of of (he tragedy, rightly or wrongly, has been wiped out as with a sponge. Between now and Friday, the day to which the inquest adjourned, the crop of arrested Eoscoes and "suspects" promises to.

be numerous and unfruitful. Ward did not want anything that the Board might ob Jeot to, but they wanted the best building taat could be put up. If it was decJlod that isolated or separate olaps rooms the beat, then they wanted ono of that description; but if tbe present plan of sliding doors and glass psrtitlons were considered best, thoy were willing to have one built after that pattern. Ho objected to tbe resolntlnn of Mr. Bennett, by whioh No.

24 was to be built on the Improved plan and not Mr. Hunter believed schools were needed in tbe Twenty first Ward, He, however, was in favor of having two at a moderate cost rather than one of such a monstrous size. Mr. Murphy did not scarcely think the case had been presented fairly. It was true that No.

24 had no accommodation, and it was equally true that they had peculiar claims on the Board; no district had, perhaps, WEIQHTIBB OLAIMO. Several years ago an appropriation was made for erecting a school in that neighborhood, but this had been expended on different buildings and tho school was never erected. He, however, would remind them that Primary No. 1, which was not far away, is an excellent building, and in it there is plenty of room, and he would just like to extond a general invitation to the members before voting to visit Primary No, 1, situated Seventh street, that they might see there was accommodation for the children. There were Borne advantages in isolated class rooms but he did not think sufficient to compensate for the additional expenditure.

If they are going to build a house costing $80,000 or $70,000 1 will vote aye but I cannot vote to build a house at the increased expense until the Board has deoided to adopt a new plan entirely. Mr. F. Campbell remarked that rather than deprive District No. 35 of a school he was willing to have one built on tho old plan.

He only regretted that it was too late to hove it up this Summer. Mr. Kinsella inquired how muoh money thore wai for building purposes. Mr. Murphy replied that the whole funds available for construction were $127,000.

Mr. Klnsslla said he thought they could disembarrass the question by building one school. Thore were not funds sufficient to build two, any how. He was in favor of having the very best school houses and having them more attraottve. Mr.

Culyer did not believe that any of the plans proposed was just the plan they needed, and behoved that by careful and patient work a plan might be produced by tbe architects of the Board, if there were any, and if not they might be employed, which would be superior to anything yet presented. He believed that the ideas in the plans for which they paid the premiums conld be so modified as to put np a building in wbioh they were embodied at a cost of $70,000, or at the outside $80,000. Mr. Cadley offered the following as a substitute of the whole question Resolved, That' the proposals received for the erection of schools No. 24 and No.

31! be la'ld on tho table, and that the Committee on School Houses be and are hereby directed to have plans prepared for two new school bouses, one In District No. 24 and the other in District No. 35, the total oost of whioh shall not exceed SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLABS EACH. Mr. Bhodes thought the buildingB could be reduced in Bizo.

They could be made two stories, instead of three. Mr. Cadloy's motion to refer back to the Committee memorial of local revolutionary suffering and heroism. It has been a Btock subject of patriotic agitation for many years. Publio meetings, letters to the press, and a novel "Our Fathers' Bones" are some of tha means employed to arouse opinion to productive activity.

Why such a worthy historio topic should be a bore it is not easy to say, but it certainly bas become one. Either national monuments have lost their interest, or the Martyrs are too impersonal to command lively sympathy. At all events a political committee can only damage the business by assuming charge of it. While waiting for the Bridge, whioh will enable them to flank the Fulton street and East River section of New York, Brooklyn people have a lively interest in the proposed improvement of the ferry approaches. The proceedings for the widening of Ann and Beekman streets and the removal of the market will therefore be watched with concern.

There is before the Legislature a bill providing for the widening, but yesterday the property owners held a meeting in opposition to it. There seems to be a desire on the part of some of them to widen some other street between Broadway and South street at a point further north. Should this plan prevail the Fulton street and market nuisance will remain unabated. The "power of the press" is exemplified in the faot that the Albany charter makers did what they pleased with the New York organio law, in defiance of tha new York newspapers. Perhaps the explanation of these journals' lack of influence on legislators lies in the fact that it is by no means certain how long or in what direction they will take any interest in municipal affairs that they have blown hot and cold with all parties and various rings, and that they ara more concerned in quarreling about each other's advertising bills and in charging each other with being bought and sold by politicians, than they are concerned in promoting the public welfare.

CHARLES eOOPBtCH. Continuation of the Coroner's Inqnost An Application tor the Discharge of fllrt Armstrong JIyers Denied Samuel Basco's Testimony His Acquaintance with Ulrs. Armstrong: Examination of W. W. Goodrich, tho Brother of the murdered man A Mysterious tetter The Mock Marriajre Dr.

Shop, ard, Prof. Boyle, Miss Iceland, Miss Logan, Mrs. Fletcher, Mrs. Knapp and th Snedekers as Witnesses, The Coroner's inquest in the oase of Charles GoQflrioli was resumed yesterday, after an hour's re oeai, at 3 P. M.

Pnblio interest In the prooeedirigB continued and the Court room was orowded with speqtators. Before any witnesses were called to the str. McClolland! who bad been retainod as counsel for Mrs. Armstrong, moved for her dlBoharge.from custody, or liberation on ball. Ho said that she was detained as a witness tor the people, simply, and not as a participant in the alleged orime, and yot she had not been able to see her child or her parents and friends for several days.

She would be only too glad to appear wheb wasted, and give any testimony in her power most willingly, now that she had recovered from the embarrassment attendant upon her arrest. Coroner Whttehill, while expressing his sympathy for Mrs. Armstrong, denied the motion, but promised to consult the District Attorney on the subject, and be guided by bis decision. Aid. Richardson, foreman The jury would Inquire if there is any hindrance to hor own immediate relatives visiting her, if they deBire.

Coroner Whitehill replied that he could see no objection to their visiting her now, and intimated that Mrs. Armstrong might be liberated on ball. THB WBONG EOSOO. Aid. Bichardson desired to aik Mrs.

Armstrong a question Mrs. Armstrong, yon recognize the gentleman in court this morning as Mr. Boaco, but not as the same person you referred to Tbe witneeB explained that about six months ago she occupied tootdb with her child, and she was called upon by a Spaniard who desired to hare a room there; he agreed to have his meals with me and pay me three dollars per week; I oould not get his dinners for that, and then he came occasionally and got a meal, laying nothing for it; on time he made me a present, and asked mtt take a walk with him; that continued until the Saturday after the death of Mr. Goodrich; I saw the gentleman's advertisement at 302 Broadway, and called to see what it was and they told me perfumery; the man at that number was this Bosco who is now present, whose name I afterward heard was Boder; it was in February that this occurred; I bad no friendly relations with him other then calling to see him about this business; I don't think of any other information that I could glye. SAMUEL EOSOO, SWOBN.

I am stopping at No. 185 Elizabeth street, New York; have seen Mrs. Armstrong, the last witness, and spoken to her; the hret time I saw her was in February; never boarded at her house or knew Mr. Goodrich; don't recognize the photograph exhibited as that of Mr. Goodrich.

To Aid. Bichardson I first saw this lady at No. 302 Broadway, at the American Novelty Company's office bey advertised for "agents wanted" to Bell goods Mr. Armstrong oame in and wanted to know what there was to sell out of which any money could be made; she cook some goods, and left her address as "It. Armstrong, No: 13 Stanton, top floor there was a liquid soap that I wanted her to sell, but it was not ready she muat have hoard my name, because Mr.

Thornton called me to Bhow her the goods am quite sure that I never told her my name was brought here by the officers never boarded ut her house, but called there twice on business; I have not known any other man named Bosco I was born in America, up the New York Central Boad eighteon miles from Borne I believe it Is called America. THE BBOTHEB OP THE DECEASED, the Hon. W. W. Goodrich, was here recalled and testified sb follows My brother, Charles Goodrich, lived in Brooklyn sinoe March 1, and before that lived in East Thirteenth etreot, New York he went to New York from Albany it is proper for me to Bay that I had a natural repugnance to stating any thing which would seem to injure my brother's charaoter that while I have placed in the possession of the authorities at once all the information that was in my power, I have endeavored, as far as the public was concerned, to say nothing.

In Albany my brother Wa3 a lumber inspector previous to that time he had been in the Weit, and before that he had lived in Albany he was engaged in the lumber business five years in Eighteenth street, New York, until he went into another business undor tbe name of Oldham Goodrich I intended at one time to furnish a houBe in Degrow street for my brother and had had it carpeted when a gentleman came whe desired it to be let and my brother came over about the first of Huron to take care of it for htm, the now tenant intending to live there by about the first of April; ho was over hero before that time quite frequently my brother was putting up the houses on his own account and at his own risk I loaned him the money and sometimes indorsed his bills did not hear him say that the building of the houBes had not answered his expectations" our relations together were very pleasant from the time we were children I don't think I had a word of disagree aent with him. Letter handed to witness. I received that letter on the morning of February 20th last, through the mail at my office in New York. Mr. Bichardson read the letter, aa follows THE MY8TEBIOU8 LETTEB Bbooxlyx, February, 1873.

Mr. Goodrich Sm 1 propose to tell the truth. Will you listen 1 For the naBt eloht months have hfinn Hvlnn In thA wounded man might have twisted end turned himself a good doal after ho was shot, people may lire some time after suoh an injury, but I can't understand how he could repeat it, whi re inBonsibillty must have been caufed; the wound on the forehead over the eye was not a severe blow. was no fracture, and it might be accounted forty falling, or by a blow acrois the pye brow; most likely it was caused by a fall; there were no traces of powdr on the deoeased's hands, as frequently the ease with suicides. Q.

Could tbe two wounds behind the esrs hove been produced while the body lay on the floor 1 A. They might, if tbe pistol ware oloso to the haad; the stomach showed that the food had digested and passed into the alimentary oanal; the deoeasod had eaten nothing, I should say, for six or eight hours; there were ho evidences of medicines or narootios. To Aid. Eiehardjon The wound behind tha left ear, where the bullet did not eater the skull, I should say would canse suoh a concussion of the brain as to oanse insensibility and cause tha man to fall; the bleeding from the wound in a case like that might assist a person to recover; tbe skull was unusually thiok; I don't think if a person in suoh a case had recovered his senses that he would bt fa a disposition to fire again; I remember the oase of mm wno was shot with a minie ball through the top or the skull and he walked to ns end told us about it; we trepanned htm and took out; he would have recovered if ft hd not been for that; we know of these remarkable oases, but we don't of a case of a man receiving two bullets through'thehead and another wonnd wbioh produced insensibility; the other wonnd at the book of the ear, or the shot through the temple would either have produced unconsciousness; in all these cases of shot wounds I have always found them to be followed by insensibility; the towel that was there I thought was stained with blood, and that it had been washed out; my epinion is that from all the circumstances the killing took place after daylight. UBS.

ABMSTBONO BEOAIiMD. Testified that she did not believe Samuel Roscoe knew anything of Charles Goodrioh. FZBB IN AND T. L. BotM Or DEOBAW STREET, recognized the photographs of Charles Goodrioh.hand ed to him by the Coroner, and testified I I had known him by sight for eight or ten months; saw him on the stoops of the houses on that street: saw him frequently in the evenings, more than in the morning; I think I saw him lsBt in February, if I njd boon to a reoep tion at the Faust Club; he was with a lady on the stoop; it was a oold, unpleasant evening, and between and 12 at night, in front of one of the tbree centro houses; I thought what an uncomfortable spet it was for a trysting plaoe the ltBt time I saw him plainly was in the Fall I frequently saw Mr.

Goodrioh and a lady on the stoop in July, August and September I saw them there I perfectly recognised them, and once Mr. Goodrich suddenly got up and went into tho house, followed by the lady, as if he wanted to avoid me I have heard at home a young lady say that there was a disturbance in one of Mr. Goodrich's houses; there were cries of "Help," from a female voice, and "Do you want to break my skull the man making no answer I went down when she told me of it to see, but the place was dark I tried the ares door of the houso, and while doing that a lady came out of the houBe below, who said she had heord nothing of the noise when I went np to my house I told a genUeman about it, and he said there was nothing unnatural about it Miss Leland was the young lady who told me about the disturbance, which, I think, took plaoe on Saturday, February 15. AKSS EMMA LELAND TESTIFIED I live at No. 613 Atlantio avenue; this person whose photograph you show mo I sawat the third stone house from Fifth avenue, in Degraw street, on February 15; I was going by the house a little before seven in the evening, when I heard a Bcuftting sound, then I heard a woman call "help," "murder," end "stop, yon will knock my brains out;" I wont back to the gate and heard the Bame cries, and "you are going to kill me," followed by perfect etiltuess; a gentleman came out and stood at the gate while I was retreating up the street; heard the sound of something falling against the door; think the man I saw was like that photograph of Mr.

Goodrich; never saw any light in tha room as the papers said I did. To Aid. Bichardson The man who came out was of medium height, rather slim, and had brown hair. At thiB point "George Baker" was confronted with Mips Leland, who altera careful scrutiny of him said that he was not the man she referred to. BOSALrE LOOAN THE NBIT WITNESS testified I live at 178 Dograw strert, with MrB.

Sned eker; only saw Mr. Goodrioh ones; (identified his portrait) it was at his house on Degrsw stroet, about live weeks ago, and in the morning about 9:30 I had been on an errand, when a lady followed me up Degraw street and asked me if a man named Connors, or something like that, lived there; ehe went to Mr. Goodrich's house, and Mr. G. came to the door; this lady that sits here (Mrs.

Armstrong) I think was the lady; can remember her now becauso some of her teeth are out. Mrs. Armstrong, lifting up her veil Take a good look at me, and see if I am, Witness Yep, you ore the woman I saw. Mrs. Armstrong Hxcuse me, you are mistaken.

ltntss continued: I saw two ladles at Mr. Goodrich's house about three weeks ago; they were on the stoop. MitB. MARIAN SNEDEKEB, OF 778 DEOBAW testified: I did not know Mr. Charles Goodrich; he called at my house last May to sse my husband about putting up some signs; my husband told me afterward that he waa one of the richest men in Brooklyn; and that is all I know about tho affair; saw two women In the house of Mr.

Goodrioh obout three weeks ago, who seemed to be cleaning; about two weeks before Mr. Goodrich's death I saw a woman go down the street several times in front of that row; I think that lady sitting there (Mrs. Armstrong) was the one I saw; I can recognise her from her shape and her drees; never noticed any ligbte in the houaes on that row; since tho death of Mr. Goodrich my son said he saw a lady oom ing out of the house of Mr. Goodrich; it was about two weeks after hie death that I saw her walking down the street.

MABY ANN SNEDEKEB, 760 Degraw street, testiflod I have sesn a lady oome out of Mr. Goodrich's house two mornings; the last time was tho Monday before his death; I cannot identify Mrs. Armstrong as the lady, I Baw; Mrs. Armstrong raised her vail and stood up before the witness); Mr. Goodrich and another gentleman I saw walking down together, and a lady in the second house from his called out but ha did not answer or turn back.

MBS. MABY ANN FLETCHER, T25 Degraw stroot, was tho next witness. She testified the letters addressed to Mr. Goodrich about six weeks ago were left at her house Mr. Goodrich himself called twice to get them; she had nBver taken any particular notice of him, MBS.

ANNA KNAEP, No. 750 Degraw street, testified I knew Mr. Goodrich the last time I saw him was iu the street, on tho Sunday before his death; I said to him when I saw him before that with Mr. Rowland, I guess you were in the Boufflo tho other night sold ho, What scuffle "Why," I sold, "you have a scratch on your face Iwas only joking with him thoy were clearing ths house at the time, and thought tlio scratch might have been caused oy an aocident I always found him to be a gentleman, and never saw any lady go in or out of hie house he seemed like a man who was very happy and who had no enemies. GEOBOH W.

SNEDEKEB, of 700 Degraw street, said he had not beon acquainted with Mr. Goodrich. On the Thursday morning before the murder' I saw a lady come out of the house of Mr. Goodrich she was dressed in dark clothes and had light hair which seemed to have been pulled up by the roots from behind she walked rapidly down toward Filth avenue as If she were In a hurry; I used to see tho reflection of light in his house at night, and I thought how lonesome the person must be who waB Btopping there. Some little excitement was caused by the conduct, toward the close of the proceedings, of a besotted individual who come forward earlier in the day aud presented himself as bail for Lucotte.

He had to be removed under arrest to prevent repeated assertions of hiB "rights as a citizen and taxpayer," The inquest was adjourned to Friday at 7 P. M. ISHOP COXK IN ST.

The following note in which Mr. Thomas Field accepts the position of Superintendent was sent by him to Mr. Whitlock, the President, and was read by tho oeoretary. Bhooklth, March 17, 1873. Jfr.

Ejihraim J. Whttlock, President Board of Education: Mv. Deab Snt I am sensible that the vory generous and flattering evidence of confidence, evinced in my election to the ofHce of Superintendent by the Board ovor which you preside, required an earlier recognition at my hands; ond there is due to the gentlemen of the Board something in the nature of an apology. I had been so long associated with municipal affairs (mors than twenty years ae city surveyor, daring Seven of which I had also fills the ofhee of Assessor,) that there were too many flloments of interest and attachment for me to sever at once, and there were also on completed official duties which to leave so would involve the loss of the labor already bestowed. Having never for a moment prior to my election contemplated the possibility of such on event, I assured myself that I would be indulged in a long period for mature reflection before acceptance or rejection.

I e. teemed the functions of the high office of Superintendent of Public Schools to he almost of a saored character, which ought not to be degraded or even weakened In efficiency by the intrusion of business, not to Boy political, interests. Doubt of my ability to detach myself completely from ties so long woven and interests so firmly sttaohed has been the principal cause of my hesitation. Other motives but little less potent mode mo pause on the verge of a decision which involved the abandonment Df a profession, the emoluments of which I could not be involuntarily deprived, and the resignation of an henorable office secure at least for a year The tenure of tho office of Superintendent had elements of instability, which could not but affect tha mind of any incumbent solicitors of tho future. I was, sir, also deeply sensible of the fact that as my nomination was as Ifttte anticipated by the Board as by myself, thore were members whose personal kindness for me silenced the criticism their Judgment might have prompted.

I could not consent to owe my election to an office of such high trust and important functions to the warm partiality of personal friendship, while there remained the significant silence of even a small minority. Those subjects of doubt have boen fully overcome by the ofllrmotlon of my olection at tho last meeting of tho Board, and by its consent with suoh unanimity to ths enactment of a law which will obviate all the other difficulties. In addition, however, to all those sources bf embarrassment was the anomalous position I ocoupied to my old friond, the present Superintendent. It was Impossible for me to accept of any position in whioh I should over seem to have proved recreant to the friendship of quarter of century. But it was evident that the Board contemplated my occupation of a position which he now fills, and only my temporary relation to him of assistant.

I could only decide this question by determining to leave the solving of its complexity to the reflection and Judgment of the Board, which my long experience of its affairs enaolss ms to ssy has seldom wavered from essentiol justice. For its final verdict I have the utmost confidence that thelintereits of its great charge, the Publio Schools, will paramount, and whatever that is I Bhall be perfeotly content. I have, therefore, Bir, only to add that I gratefully accept the honorable trust conferred upon me, made so mach the more honorable by the manner of its bestowal. To the members of the Board I dare not attempt to convey in words my gratitude for their generous confidence, but if my devotion to the important Interests they have placed iu my charge will be a sufficient testimony of that sentiment, they will not regret that I have said so little. Wiih the ocinowleflgment of my high esteem for yourtelf, I subscribe royself Your friond; CStgned Thomas W.

Field. Mr. Whitlock stated that it had boen sent to him personally on tho I7ih of March. As he considered it an official acceptance by Mr. leld of th position, he had looked upon it as public property, and had kept it private until the meetiue of the Board.

He recom mended that it be accepted and printed in the min Mr. Hall asked whether he was right in understanding that Mr. Field considered he was accepting the position of Superintendent. The Chairman replied that ho was accepting tho position to which he had been elected by the Board, according to their resolution, A communication was presented by Mr. Flaherty from tho Now York Steam Hosting Company, asking the Board to examine tho new steam heater thev are now manufacturing, by which schools and other public places can be heated much more effectually than at present, uoierroa to me warming ana ventilating Committee.

BILLS. The next order of business was the presentation of bills, which were referred to the Auditing Committee. The School HonBe Committee presented bills amounting to $834.19, which were referred to tho Finance Committee. The bills of the Library Committee footed up to $1,864.90, which were referred to the same committee. THE FINANCE COMMITTEE presented their monthly statement of the funds as be ing: Bills or work dono under the authority of Local Committee $178.13 Bills for work by authority of the Wanning and Ventilating Oommltteo 265.63 Bills for Pianos 318 Bills for Chairs 372.110 Bills for Supplies f.

Mr. G. Bennett moved that they be referred to the School Houso Committee, with powor to ENTEB INTO OONTBACT with the lowest responsible bidder. Mr. Cadley asked if Borne one would just stato where the money was coming from.

The question was asked as to what was tho appropriation for those buildings, and the President stated that last yoar $70,000 was asked for each of theso schools of the Joint Board and they cut each of them down to $41,000, with the understanding that the deficiency waB to be placed in the budget of the present year. Mr. Hunter But was not that on an estimate of $70,000 each, and not $100,000, as now contemplated President That was ou an estimate of $70,000 each. Mr. Cadioy amended the report bo as to read that the bids be referred to tho School House Committee, for report.

Mr. Thomas was In favor of good school houses, but he didn't think the Board was hardly ready to enter into contract for two school houses that would cost $212,000. Mr. Cadley doubted the propriety of putting schools of such magnitude in the localities indicated, and thought the size might be reduced. Mr.

Bennett As tho Board baa not got the money, it will be us eaBy for ub to enter into contract for houses at $106,000 each, as at $70,000. He cjuld not say much about District No. 33, but District No. 24 was thickly populated, and, before tho school had been opened one mt'Uth, thore would be twelvo hundred applications. Mr.

Campbell thought the Board might eottlo it at once without referring it bock to the Committee. It was really question as to whether the Board would adopt any other plan than that followed at present. If they were determined not to put up any sohool houseB at a cost of moro than $70,000 let them say so, thore and then. Mr. J.

Hunter was opposed to building the schools on the uew plan bocaUBe it was a groat waste of room. A great deal of the space waB taken up with nn assembly room which was of no value. It was very well at a time of receptions and examinations, but ho did not agree with paying $30,000 for a PABLOB ABBANOEMENT for the mere purpose of assembling tho children in twice a day. He didn't approve of exhibitions of any kind, but ho did of examinations, and thought it would be better to have a hall in the centro of the city than to pay so much for this parlor arrangement in each school. He was also opposed to isolated class rooms, and thought it better t0 have tho teachers aud soholars under the aye of the principal, as now.

They had not the nionoy to put up both these build ingB at $100,000 eacb. He hod nothing to soy about No. 24, but he did oppose the putting up of such an expensive building in the Twenty first Ward, especially in that extension overybody would laugh at them. He thought that if they wero going to build on the proposed plan they had better build one first, and after that he was BUre they would not wont to build any more. For District 38 he would rather have one on the old style at $70,000.

Mr. G. Bennett supported the new plan, which furnishes seporated class rooms, whioh he believed were necessary to efficient teaching. As to the cost, if they would calculate it they would find that with adding wings, making extensions, to the present buildings, theso now ones would cost very little more. As Mr.

Hunter was desirous that one ouly on this new plan should be built, for a trial, he offered as an amendment that the Committee be empowered to enter Into contract with the lowest responsible bidder for EBEcnaro school house numbeb TWENrr ForB. Mr. Hunter Oh 1 no, I mean to have mine as well as you. Mr. A.

B. Martin moved that as. the report of tho committee hod been presented on these new school houseB, they be empowered to enter into coutraot for tho erection of wings to school No. 23. The President was about ruling it out of order when he remembered that it had beon laid over until bids bid been received on these new school houses, and so let it come before the meeting, Mr, Bhodes said that tbe whole matter turned on whether the Board' were going to take a new departure in building the sohool houses, or whether tbsy were going to continue on the old plan, Iwenty flrst WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 2.

Tbl paper bas (be Largest Circulation of any Evening Paper Published in (be United States, its Value as an AdYertlHlng medium Is therefore apparent Xbe Loss of the Atlantic. It seemed about time for some gTeat disaster to happen. Grim statement that, but the course of svents for at Uast three years past has shown that appalling calamities on land or sea are a part of tha dispensation of affairs through which the nations aTe passing. To the consuming of Chicago, the burning of Boston, the loss of the steamer named for that city, the sinking of the Cambria, the destruction of the Northfleet, tha explosion on the Westfield to disasters without parallel or remedy on railroads, must now be added the seemingly criminal catastrophe of the Atlantic, of the White Star Line. At this writing the details of the tragedy are meagre enough.

Before we go to press fuller facts may como to light. At this moment there ought to be passing along the cable the passenger list of the vessel. Though not much is revealed what has been discovered mounts to the proportions of an. historical massacre. Night before last, or rather during the earliest hours' of the morning, the worthy po ple of these good oities robbed of their rest by the fury of the winds, doubtless bestowed npon those who go down to the sea in Bhips and who do business in the great waters, an apprehensive, sympathetic thought which son verted itself into, perhaps an uttered, perhaps an nnutterad prayer: "God pity the poor sailors on such a night as this," was an aspiration which passed through many a mind, and the morning papers were scanned with compassionate curiosity yesterday to read the story of the storm.

The relief which was felt when no record of wreck was read has received a rude, a horrible disturbance to day. At the hour when the hurricane was the highest, a huge, stately steamer was rushing to ruin on the Nova Scotia coast, and seven hundred passengers woke to a brief terror to sink at once into the long, final Btupor. Elsewhere we tell the tale as told to us, by survivors, by observers, by the press agents and by correspondents. Tho matter lacks no element which makes disaster dramatic or excusable. Leaving Queenstown on the 21st of March but twelve days ago, the Atlantic seemed in perfect condition, and had exclusive of officers and crew about 1)50 passengers on board.

A swift and prosperous run seems to have been made across the Atlantic, and on Monday night there was an effort to put into Halifax for coal. The supply with which the vessel left the other side had become low, and the diversion of the course from mid ocean toward the rockiest coast of the Western continent was made at night and in the severest storm of the season. The probabilities are that had the Atlantic been headed for Halifax in mid day, the peril had been over past or anticipated. Had her officers even kept her on her course till the storm abated, using up the supply of coal and reaching New York under sail time but no lives would have been lost. But it was not to be so.

A "quick passage" is a part of the unwritten law of ocean transit, and to that end risks are things to be taken, not avoided. So the arrival of tha vessel almost due east from fiailfax, as was thought, was awaited, and then the ship was "put" straight for the port she was never to reach. By all accounts Sambro Light was mistaken for Prospect Light, and the Atlantic, at 2 A. ran on Meagher Mock. The rest is the old, old story.

Most of the officers and some of the more adventurous passengers wore on deck. But the great mass of the latter, and all the women and children were In their berths in slumber, or, if awake, estimating themselves secure. Two or three tremendous bumps less than a second betwoen them an awful crash, the parting of plates of iron and iwiufl vr uiih, tlie auddeu turning uf Llie vessel on its side, the universal incursion of the waves, the vessel sinking like lead in the mighty waters, and seven hundred persons were coffined in their cabins. Let us be thankful for the immediate mercifulness of their deaths. Suffering there hardly could have been any.

Death in sleep, or at most an instantaneous exit was their painless fate. There are 250 survivors, bat not a woman or child is Baved. The fragmentary faets about the calamity have been already put into one statement. Few as they are, they all point with ghastly fingers to a conclusion we regret and deplore to enforce. We believe the loss of the Atlantic was preventible by a policy which it appeared to bo the plain duty of those in charge to pursue, and which they with indefensible hardihood did not pursue.

It is stated lhat the vessel ran short of coil. That the original Bupply was inadequate, or that the daily consumption was excessive, must be inferred. Either conclusion makes those to whom it applies criminally responsible for the consequences. If the vessel left with too little coal on board it was to save timo. If the vessel burned so much coal every day that it was likely the quantity wouldrnn short before New York was reached, it was to force a quick trip," i.e.

to gain time. The vicious imp of haste seems to have controlled her managers, in whichever state of facts finally appears. A moderate passage had boen a safe oue. A fast passage is a brilliant and popular one and this time was a fatal one. When it became evident that a quick passage was impossible, Halifax was sought for in a midnight hurricane, with what results are known.

A fatal disproportion between either tho quantity or the consumption of coal and the demands of distance is the first count in the indictment. Making port" at midnight, and in a great storm, is the second count. The courts of public opinion at least will not tolerate pleas of justification in this case. What result Will travel cease Not at all. The ocean will be white with sails and black with smoke to the end of time.

Will the White Star Line go out of business Not at all. Its interests and popularity may receive a passing check. That will be about all. It is already comforted by the assurance that "none of the cargo has floated." Nor is it necessary to picii oat Captain Williams and his officers for special censure. They are the exemplars of a system of swift passages which is enormously wrong and irresistibly popular.

The White Star and other lines make speed a sine qua non, and they make it so, because there is a public demand for it. In that public, in its sense, or in its apprehensions the cure must be wrought. Speed, racing, and '(juick passages above all things" must be made unpopular and unfashionable. We deliberately advise readers to patronizo the "slow and sure lines," if it please them to bo so called at least for a while. Men and women have no business to want to go to Europe or come from Europe in each a hurry.

The record, discipline, and policy of the Cunard line, subordinating everything to safety, has received tho vindication of over thirty years' exercise without the loss of a vOBSfl, and, as the line claims, without an accident of a fatal character. Is that good luck We call it superb mgnagement, and bid for a public sentiment which will Cunardize the policy of every ocean carrying company. Meantime, if for the culpable criticism, then for tho thousands in bereaved homes pity, sympathy and succor, and for the survivors, the practical side of that compassion which in its comprehensive emotions mourns tho dead as with a pergonal sorrow. Tbe Inquest The full reports of the evidence in the Goodrich inqnost, which we publish, toll much more about the life than the death of the victim. The woman Meyers, at great length and with Himalayan frigidity, told her story yesterday.

We mistake if that story does not change the current of public feoling as to her. The married and penniless seamstress "took up" with Goodrich and he with her by the introduction of a street collision. A coarse and commonplace life of economical last seems to hare been pursued by them for two months, and that is about all. She visited him a few times, visited her many times disturbing the serenity of a counterfeiter "Kobco" whose connection with Mrs. Meyers's life has led to his conjectured association with tho murdar of Goodrich PANTOMIME AT HOOLEI'S.

The old stories of the fairy books of childhood days, which for a century past almost have been household words in th nursery room, continue to attract young and old, no matter in what form they may be presented. This is the secret of the success pantomimic performances have which are based upon such legends as "Humpty Dumpty," "Jack and The Bean Stalk," and like productions. At Hooley's Opera House, the Chrisde Trick Pantomime Company have successfully appear ed in their pantomime of "Jack and The Bean Stalk," during the past week, and on Monday the same piooe was presented is better style than ever, before an audience whieh greeted the performance with shouts of laughter and loud applause. The initiatory concert performance of the programme is marked by Borne very good vocal mslo, a song by Griffin being most favorably received, and after the concert Bernardo appears in his barlesqne character songs, in which he excels. Theeketoh of "Obeying OrderB" introduces Griffin, Campbell and Reynolds in laughable business, and after Messrs.

Nil03 ond Eavans go through with their peculiar dances the pantomime is performed. Altogether the new bill 1b very attractive. irjotliers may Depend Upon It. Trying and critical indeed is tha teething protod, but relief is afforded by tho timely use of Mns. Wisblow's Soothing Sxnup.

A 6 th. Box of Candles, Mixed to suit 81 10 A "txFltj' OMrdiet cents Educational Matters. The Board of Education met last evening. The session was lengthy, and, for that body, rather lively. It can hardly be said, howevar, that the chief subject which engaged its attention was trivial, for it involved an addition to existing school accommodation of over two thousand seats, and an expenditure of public money amounting to one hundred and thirty sevon thousand dollar.

With the steady and rapid increase in the growth of Brooklyn, there is of course always a demand for additional school accommodation, and usually the claims of various sections of the city are pressed at the same time. Last evening the Board was called en to decide between two sections, whose claims were so evenly balanced that the Board fonnd some difficulty in deeiding between them, and eventually did so by a majority of only one, in a vote of thirty seven members. For sohool building purposes the Board has on hand one hundred and twenty seven thousand dollars. Three wards made claim for additional school accommodations. District No.

3, which embraces the rapidly growing Twenty first Ward, asked for a new school house District 24, made up of the Eightheonth Ward (old Bushwick), pressed its claims for a like advantage, and strengthened them by the fact that the City of Brooklyn has never yet built a sohool house in this and that there is not now, and never has been a first class sohool building in the ward, although the Board of Education has decided in favor of erecting such a school house in that ward repeatedly. The Seventeenth Ward formerly Greenpoint asked an addition to one of its school buildings, involving an expenditure of twenty seven thousand dollars, and securing additional accommodation tor over five hundred ohildren, in a ward'eoncededly inadequately provided for. The representatives of the Eighteenth Ward in the Board favored the erection of a school house on an improved plan, under which detached class rooms are provided for ieaching, in addition to an assembly room for purposes common to all the classes. Under the present plan of building schools the assembly room is divided into class rooms, by glass folding doors, so that the same apartment is used, as occasion serves, as an assembly room and as class rooms. In support of the present plan, the argument is advanced that it is cheaper in favor of the new plan, it is held that the work of teaching can be carried on with more advantage in distinct and detached class rooms than in the main rooms, divided oil by folding glass doors, and in which anything going on in any part of the building is likely to attract the attention of all the pupils on an entire floor.

The younger members of the Board are in favor of the "new departure," so called the older members are divided in opinion on the subject members so experienced as Mr. Hunter and Mr. Burr, differing on the subject. By combing tho claims of district Twenty two and Twenty four Greenpoint and Bushwick the project of building a first class school on the new plan in Bushwick, and of adding to the accommodation of the school in Greenpoint, prevailed. The claims of the Twenty first Ward were not disputed, and in the apppropriations for next year it will unquestionably have the first claim.

The Trustees of Public School No. 13 introduced a question which the Board made important by devoting over an hour to its discussion. In other departments when an employe fails to satisfy those in control of it, his removal follows sb a matter of course. The Board of Education is disposed usually to move more slowly. Mr.

Kinaella, rising to a question of privilege, stated the following facts: The Board has within the past year or two erected and put in use a stately schoolhouse, known as Public School No. 32 at a cost of seventy or eighty thousand dollars, and provided for the school a full and competent corps of teachers. The Tenth Ward is embraced in what is known as School District No. (. Before this accommodation was provided, and while the accommodation in No.

6 District was inadequate for tho children within it, they were provided for in Public School No. 13, to the extent of its facilities, and often to the embarrassment of tho residents of No. 13 District. As soon as the Board had provided additional accommodation in the Tenth Ward, the Chairman of School No. 32 asked for the enforcement of the rules of the Board, requiring the public school pupils of a district to attend their own district school.

The pupils of both schools were informed that they would be required to act according to the rules of the Board The necessity of these rules is, of course, apparent. Their disregard in this case leaves Public School No. 13 taxed to its full capacity, and over, at times, while new School House No. 32 is not half full. The trustees have not been enabled to enforce tho rules because Mr.

Reid, of No. 13, refused point blank to co operate to this end. Mr. Kinsella and Mr. Faron the latter gentleman being on the Committee of both schools deeming the conduct of Mr.

Reid insubordinate, asked his removal forthwith at the bands of the Boiwd, which alone can exercise this power. It appeared in the debate which followed that Mr. Keid was not, as a teacher, high in favor with the local trustees, apart from tho act on which his removal was requested. But this question was only lightly touched upon, as was proper under the circumstance. resolution providing for Mr.

Reed's removal was adopted by a vote of twenty seven to six, the six dissentors objecting on the ground that an investigation should precede removal, in tho face of the fact that the Teachers' Committee made it known that they agreed with the local committee on the ground it had taken, and did not desire to be a party to a further investigation. Mr. Reid is, therefore, removed. It is, perhaps, duo to him to say that he seems to be as much opposed to the present Board of Education as the Board seems to be to him, for he has seen fit, at different times, to leave his duties as an employe of the Board, for the purpose of advocating at Albany tbe passage of a law legislating the present Board out of office, on the ground that its members are not competent for the performance of the duties assigned them; As these gentlemen devote a great deal of time to an office attached to which there is no emolument whatever, a threat to remove them can bring no disquiet with it. The book Committee proposed to settle, for the present, a oublesome question by committing the Board to refuse to add to the list of text books used in the schools, inasmuch as the whole subject of text books will come before the Board in a few months, by the expiration of existing contracts with school book publishers.

This action was opposed by members who were disposed not to open the subject heretofore; but inasmuch as it has been opened, they seem to prefer to keep it open. Tho Book Committee are, however, unanimously in favor of the policy recommended. The latest official notice of the nonleoted Prison Ship Martyrs is taken by the Democratic General Committee, which last night resolved in favor of a monument on Fort Greene. The idea is not a new one. Frequent efforts have been made to secure some was put and lost.

Mr. Colo offered a substitute, directing the Commute to consider and enter into con tract with the lowest bidder on School No. 24, for the erection of the same. A vote was taken on the amendment, and rasnlted In a tie, eighteen votes being cast in the affirmative and eighteen in the negative. Mr.

Calyer changed his vote Irom tho negative to the affirmative, whioh carried iuv rvBuiuiiuij uy wxt, Mr. Hunter proposed to take up tho bids on No. 35. Mr. Kinsella hoped he did not Intend to press that.

Mr. Hunter said he did, and intended to havo tho building, Mr. Kinsella said there was no money for the purpose, and he thought he conld even prove to the gentlemen that it would be better for them to have an improved sehool house for the Twenty fbrst Ward. Mr. Bhodes moved that the bids on No.

35 be taken up and considered, Mr. Kinsella offered as a substitute that the subject of erecting wings to No. 22 be This he said would about exhaust tho funds in hand for building prrrposes. He believed that when they go before the Joint Board they would got money to build No. 35 without any difficulty.

Mr. Hunter Bald that on tho previous vote some had been cast under misapprehension that they were voting then on the subject of erecting wings for No. 22. Mr. Flaherty moved the previous question, and on Mr.

KinBello's motion being put it was almost unanimously carried. Mr. Hunter then moved that the School House Committee be directed to prepare plans aud receive estimates for School No. 35 at a cost not exceeding $75, 000. Mr.

BinBella hoped that he would not persevere with that affair, there was no money to do it with. Mr. Hunter thought that eonscieness had suddenly grown tender on that subject. Mr. Bhodee amended to direct the Committee also to enter into contract with the lowest responsible bidder, which was accepted by Mr.

Hunter. Mr. Murphy remarked that there was no money for the purpose and if they persisted in it, aome citizens might step in and enjoin them as had been done on a previous occasion. The motion was then pat and lost. Mr.

W. Martin moved the same resolution after striking out the words "and outer into contract," Mr. Cullen moved that it lay on the table. Carried. pbinoipalb' pomposity.

Mr. Kinsella rose to a question of privilege, and to perform what he accepted as a very unpleasant duty. He appealed to the members of the Board te say, if in the years be had served in the Board, he had not been found anxious, on all occasions, to upho.a the rights of its employes. Mr. Kinsella entered in a lengthy statement, the eabBtance of which waB that before the new school houBe recently opened had been erected in the Tenth Ward, the children of that ward had been accommodated as for as was possible in No.

13 sahool, located in the Sixth Ward. In this way No, 13 was crowded, bo that, the Trustees had been frequently under the necessity of refusing to admit children living in its own district for Iaek of room. The Tenth Word School not being more than half occupied, the Chairmen of the Souools of both districts had resolved to enforce the rules of the Board, requiring the children of a L'bool district to attend the school of their own district. Obedience to the rules of ths Board, the interest of the several school districts, the interest of public education, tbe economy of public Bchool management, all required this action. Mr.

Beid, Principal of Public School No. 19, refused, at the repeated request of his TrnFtees, to carry out the rules of the Board and the direction of the Trusteos. On this statement of facts, he asked for the adoption of the following resolutions: Kesofred, That Mr. N. Beid, Principal of School No.

13, is hereby removed, and Resolved, That the Teachers' Committee and Committee on Publio School No. 13 designate a proper person to fill the plaee. Mr. Forman moved, as an amendment, that a Bpecial committee of five bo appointed to investigate tho case. Mr.

Bhodes hold that the firBt law of Heaven order ought to bo enforced. Mr. Beid had been contumacious, and he thought he ought to be removed. Mr. Biggs was opposed to the appointment of a committee.

Dr. Shepord eontended it was degrading and lowering to tho members thot.it had boen suggested. Their words were entitled to credit. Mr. Forman supported his resolution aud said there wore two sides to a question.

He was not quite sure as to how the demand had been made upon him. It was perhaps in a way as to moke his manhood boil. There are several things connected with the affair I might tell, but it perhaps would not be well. Mr. Kinsella Mr.

President, I ask, aB a rie.ht, that he tell all. 6 Mr. Forman Mr. Beid told me that Dr. Fair who hod a son going to his school had Baid that until his son was thrust out by the shoulders he would not send mm to ucnool jxo.

32. He stated that one of the committeo of Who? Mr. Fornion Mr. Kinsella bad threatened to take mm by the shoulders and put him down stairs. Mr.

Rhodes I thought you wero talking about the doctor Mr. Forman So I was. Mr. IthodeB I don't see the connection between the two. Mr.

KiriBeUa This needs some little explanation. I went to Mr. Reid and informed him of the resolution of tho Board that the children in the Sixth District Bhould go to No. 32 School. He refused to send them.

I told him the Trustees' were rosponBlble, and we should suspend him. He said ho would not be suspended. I told him I should have to bring it before the Board. Ho said I might; he would fight it there. I then said: IP I DID MY DUTY, I should take him by the collar and put him down Btairs.

Mr. Forman's amendmont was lost, and the original resolution was carried 26 to 7. The Committee on Teachers report the following resignations, promotions and appointments BESCGNATIONS. No. 3, Miss Eloise Adameon, First Assistant, February 28.

When and Where tile Atlantic Was Wrecked Seven Hundred and Fifty Lives Lost Five Rocky Concussions and tlie Vessel Is Doomed Xbe iVova Scot inn Coast History OS the Steam er, The'steamship Atlantic, Captain James Ag uew Williams, of the White Star Line, went ashore at two o'clock yeBterday morning, at Meagher's Head, tho extreme point of Prospect Oape, twenty two miles from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Of one thousand persons on board only about two hundred and fifty were savod, and of these not one a woman or child.

The Atlantic left Liverpool on Thursday, March 20, for New York, touching at Queenstown next day where she received her mails and paBsengorn. There were about nine hundred steerage passengers and fifty in the cabin, and of the officers and crew there were nearly fifty more persons, making a total of about one thousand. Her cargo was assorted merchandise. Considerable rough weather was experienced, but the voyage was uneventful until day before yesterday, March 31, when, coal gotting short, Capt. Williams resolved to put into Halifax for a supply.

The Captain and Mr. Brady, the third officer, had the night watch on Monday until midnight when the second and fourth officers relieved them. At that hour the Bteamer was being carried before a wind which amounted almost to a gale, and THE LIGHT ON BAMBBO ISLAND, her officers judged, was about thirty nine miles north northwest. The night was dark and the sea vory rough. Going below, Mr.

Brady (from whose narrative this is a compilation) could not tell what transpired during the following two hours. There would appear to have been considerable apprehension on the part of the passengers, for when Brady, awakened by the shock of the vessel striking on the rocks, hurried to the deck ho found it full of people. Tho excitement was intense and tho peril moBt Imminent. Officers, crew and passengers sought to cut away the lifeboats. They only succeeded in launching one.

In this were placed two women, and about a dozen men jumped in. At this moment tho steamer went down into tho sea. corrying with hei seven hundred persons, the greater portion of whom were in their berths between decke, and also those who had succeeded in getting into the lifeboat except Brady, the third officer. Tho ship struck only five times, it is Btatod, in all, going down amid an awful roar of waters and THE WAILS AND SHBIEKS of her pent up passengers, immediately after the fifth concussion. So complete was the wreck that only tho bow and tho masts remained above wator.

Brady and two quartermasters swam ashore with ropes, and with the aid of fishermen on the coast succeeded in SAVING ABOUT 250 PEESONS, including Captain Williams, the fourth officer, Mr. Brown, the doctor and several engineers and sailors, Many of tbeBB were very much bruised, but none hive died. "When the steamer went down the sea was rough and the night was dark, but not foggy. THE PASSENGER LIST is not yet reported. It is in the English offices.

The boat was a favorite and it is feared that many in New York and Brooklyn had friends and relatives on board. Mr. and Mrs. Merritt and two daughters, and two sisters of W. P.

Scrymsor, of Fifth avenue. New York, are known to havo taken passage on the steamer. It is believed there 'vere about fifty cabin passengers, and that the nine hundred is the steerage were chiefly Swedish, German and Norwegian emigrants. WHEBE SHE STBUOK.

Witness cuntinued I received that letter February last, at my office in New York that was tho first ln ormution I ever had of my brother's character in any particular, and with the exception of a copy of the same letter which my father received, no one of my amily ever had any suspicion of wrong in my brother's character; on Thursday morning I went over to the house of my brother, expecting to see this woman at tbe place; I wont up stairs with him, and told him of the letter and read it to him, but told him that I desired to keep it in my posBeBBlon; he Bald there waa no truth in the bogus marriage ceremony and that she ivas a woman of loose character, but that he meant to do something for her, and that no injury should come to her by the connection it must have been two weeks before his death that I hoard the rustle of a woman's dreBs and sow the dress in that house; I have an impression that he used the names of Amy Snow or Amy Htone and Kate Stoddard in conversation with him; had several conversations wiih him about her; he said ehe had a violent temper, and spoke of thiB man Georgo Baker being in the building, and said that this letter was in the nature of a blackmailing operation on the family; she had been working in a store on Broadway and Spring etreet, I understood him to say; he described her as a woman of fight complexion and light eyes and hair; I think he met her on the street, and, from whst he said, he meant to put her back in as good a condition aB he found her: she was engaged in trimming hats, I think about two weeks before his death he. told me ehe had gone away to Now York I never thought of his committing suicide because I knew he was in good spirits at tho success he had met with in the houses his life was not insured that I know of; he was never reserved in his manner toward me, and he dined at my houBe every Sunday tho morning of my brother's murder I handod thiB letter to two of the detectives, and I havo not seen fit to give them to some of the gentlemen of the press, and they seem to take exception to my conduct on that account shortly after that letter came to hand Dr. Smith, of New York, referred to in it a very reputable and estimable gentlemancame into my office, and I snddenly asked him if he had performed the mock marriage he said without tho least embarrassment that it waB ridiou lous and not true, and I thon felt that it wsb nothing more than part of the blackmailing. To Alderman Bichardson After getting that letter I did not go to the houe in which this woman was in an adjoining house I eaw either one or two trunks, upon whieh wb some artlole of female wearing apparel my brother Bald that it was the clothing of the woman who was taking care of the honBe, and afterward that it belonged to the woman wh3 hod' written the letter when I discovered the body tho hands were partly closed, and just outside the hand lay the pistol with tho muzzle turned outward saw no indentation in the oilcloth, but there was a mark of the pistol as if caused from the smoke pistol exhibited; I think that is the pistol of my brother, it is exactly like it he told me, I think, that he had known this woman since about the 4th of July, and that there had been no child bom; when I went into the houBO on one occasion I BawthodreBS of a woman and heard its rustle; ho seemed confused and said she Is in there I knew that he referred to the woman who had written tho letter.

Q. Who is Georgo Baker A. He is a gentl.man uamed CharleB Greene; Baker is au aBBumed name; my brother told me that it was his brother in law, Charles Greene I sent up to Eighteenth street a messenger and got Charles Greene down to tho office, who was put in communication with the detectives he acknowledged to being the George Baker have not the slightest knowledge of whore "Amy or Kate Stoddard is my brother waB right handed he was an oxceedingly abstemious man, and I don't think was ever intoxicated in his life, DB. A WAB NEB SHEPABD, of 124 Willoughby street, testified I made a post mortem, on the 21st of March, of CharleB Goodrich, in the prt Bence of Dr. 8.

Floet Spier wo found the blood pretty well washed off the head first we examined externally, and found no bruises except about the head we washed the blood from the back of the head and discovered a wound behind the right and another behind the left ear, and one bosido that through tho left temple removing the top of the scnll, we found tho bullet behind the loft ear had not penetrated the brain, hut had flattened the bullet behind the right ear lodged in the lesser brain on the opposite Bide with some small fragments of bone which it had carried forward the other shot penetrated the left temple through to the brain witness illustrated his testimony with a finely prepared human skull; the extravasation of blood which we discovered showed us that the wounds were indicted before death; behind tho right ear the hair was not Binged at the wound; at the other two wounds it was singed; Internally tho organs were found to be in a healthy condition; the stomach was empty, had no partially digested food; there were ten ounces of urine in the bladder, and it would take several hours, probably six, seven or eight, to acouroulste it. To Coroner Jones On the sldoof theheod book of the ear the wound was a simple soalp wound in faot, all tbe three wounds through the soalp were identical I think they were all oaused before death if a wound were in a body ten hours af tor death the blood is still flnld and might extravBsate all throe wounds were oovered with olotted, extrarasatod blood blood will flow from a body after death and clot; from the charaotor of the wound we thought that when the wound in the left temple was caused the muzzle of the pistol was oloso to the scalp tho wound over the eyebrow was given before death, I think, from the contraction of the muscles do not know when these wounds were given whether the body was in an upright or prone position the muscles will oontract to some extent after death when two of the wounds were inflicted the muzzle of the i istol must have been close to tho head; at the time of the bullet entering the loft temple the plBtol must have been some distance off assuming that suicide had taken place, in my opinion the oould not have been inflicted with his own bands unless he was more than mortal. Aid. Bichardson Then he oeuldn'thare committed suicide. Langhter, To Coroner Jones I don't think tbe wounds oonld properly have been made by the deceased himself; the THB DEMOCRATS.

Meeting of tho General Committee A New Basis of Bepresentation to Be Offered A Monument for the Martyrs of the British Prison Ship Leach's Attack on Coroner Whitehill. The regular monthly meeting of the Democratic General Committee was hold last night, D. D. Whitney in tho chair. Tho attendance was vory light, undoubtedly owing to the fact that the Committee had no business of importance to transact, Among the punctual and prominent delegates jiresont were Gene rol Dakin, Ex OommiB8ioner Furey, Judge Delmar, Secretary Herman and Coroner Whitehill.

Roll and minutes of lost meeting wero read. Then Major P. K. Horgan, of the Sixth Ward, sent in his resignation. He informod a reporter that he resigned so as to make way for a representative of the German element in his ward.

The resignation was referred to tho usual Committee. Mr. Bobert Furey then took tho floor, and called attention to the fact that the new charter changes the boundaries of several wards. This fact, he Baid, induced htm to give notice, in requirement with the by laws, that ho should move for a change in representation at the next meeting. He believed that this new system of representation should be in some respects, like that adopted by the Republican General Committee.

He believed that there should bo an increase in the numbor of delegates from Democratic wards, sud a smaller number from Republican wards. Judge Delmar suggested that it might be better, bo fore emerging the Committee, to take some action which would procure attendance of those now elected. Mr. Furey Baid that he wonld meet this suggeslion next meeting night, by calling for the ENFOBCEMENT OF THE BY LAWS in regard to attendance For one, he iolt that after all tbe strlfo Bhown in the election of delegates thore should be a bettor attendance Coroner Whitehill took the' floor next. He callod attention to tho fact that a meeting had been held iu tho Academy of Music for the purpose of taking action towards securing the erection of a monument in commemoration of the Brooklyn soldiors who fell in the late war.

Said the eloquent Coroner: Thore are tho bones of eleven thsusand Bevolutlouary hero martyrs of the prison Bhips now lying in a tomb near the Navy Yard. I believe that a monument should be erectod to their memory and that of tbe Dnion Boldiers as well, ondl make amotion thot a committee of seven be appointed by tho Chair, and named at the next meeting, to take action toward securing the erection of such a monument as I have spokeu of, on i'ort Greene. Mr. Richard Leach Baid that thePark Commissioners bad fund set aBido for tho erection of suoh a monument. He thought that any action suoh as proposed would look like POLITICAL BUNCOMBE.

Iu his opinion action looking toward the erection of a muuument over the graves of ialleu heroes should bo spontaneous, and should not omanate from political committee. Coroner Whitehill repelled with scorn tho insinuation that he wanted to make capital. Said he, "I am not a caudidate. You cannot say that I soy this forbuueombe." The Coroner's resolution was then adopted, after whioh the meeting adjourned.
