An Insane Woman's Strange Freak She Decorates a Step Ladder with Her Clothing and Subsequently Serers the Veins of Her Wrist.

Last night, shortly before ten o'clock, while Officer Martense, of the Ninth Precinot, waa on his beat in tho vicinity of Hart street and Throop avenuo, his attention was attracted to an object lying in tho rear of a house in course of erection at the junction of those thoroughfares. The officer passed over the vacant lots to whore tha object lay, and on approaching It was shocked to find that It was the body of a woman in an almost nude state. Closer examination showed the ground around where the body lay to be stained with blond, and tho officer concluded that a tragedy of either murder or snicide had been enacted. A glance at a strange spectacle In the rear of the building near whore tho body lay determined him in tho latter theory. There, on a ladder, whioh extondod from the basement of the house to tho summit of tho unfinished wall, were the articles of apparel worn by deceased prior to her death.

Each garment had been tiod to a step of the ladder until it was decorated from bottom to top. On one of the eteps was doceased'a blaok and red morning wrapper, on another hor Balmoral Bklrt, on another a rod flannel petticoat, a fourth and fifth contained her buttoned gaitors, a sixth her black velvet hat, a seventh her gray woolen shawl and so on to the topmost round, whore her sciSBorB, dyed with blood, wero suspended by a cord. Nothing remained on the dead woman but hor undergarment all othor olotbing worn by her iaving boon disposed of aa above stated. Officer Maatense promptly reported his discovery to the station house, and an ambulance was sent to where the body lay, STIFF AND PTa.HK, under the moonlight, amid the snow aud frost. It was conveyed to tho statiou houso, where an examiuation showed that a deep gash had boen inflicted on the right wrist, doubtloaa with the blood stained scissors found upon tho ladder.

This fact disposed conclusively of any momentary apprehension of foul play, as any pvrson taking the life of doccaead would certainly havo aocomplishod hor oVjath in a diuerent manner, xno theory from tho facts, formed by tho police and since partially verillod, was that tho woman, having loBt her roason, wandered to the spot, aud, having disrobed and exocutod hor strange, freak by attaching her garmonta to the ladder, then deliberately cut the arteries in her wrist, aud, with the methodical determination of a diseasod brain, lay dowu in tho snow to freeze and bleed to death. The body was rornovod to the Morgue, and Captain McLaughlin telegraphed a description of the woman, who was about 45 years of age, and of her clothing, to Headquarters. This morning the remains wero identified by the husband and daughter of deceased, who bad been vain ly searching for her during the night. From THE OBD2F 8TBIOKEN HUSBAND tno reportor learnod that his wife's Jiame was Chrlstlni Wambach, and that Bhe had residod with her family at No. 9 Essex streot, New York.

She waa the mother of aoven childron, all of whom are living. About two weeks ago ahe waa taken 111, and her malady developed a Blight attaok of brain fever, but within the past few days ahe bo far recovered aa tojead her riendB to hope that her restoration would bo perrnaaeut. She had ceased to aot queorly, and her husband had bo little apprehension concerning her that when she, yes torday, intimated her intention of visiting a married daughter residing in Division street, Now York, he offered no objeotion to hor proceeding, unaccompanied, to hor daughter's residence. Inquiry elioitB that Bho wont thero, arrivmg about three o'clock, and after a briof stay departed, as her daughter supposed, to return home. Instead of doing so she oame to Brooklyn, and her objeot in visiting this city is A MYSTERY TO HEB BELATIVES.

So far as thoy are aware, no ono known to Mrs. Wambach lives in the neighborhood to whioh impulse led her. This morning Mr. White, owner of tho building in tho rear of which deceasod was found, called at the Station Houso and, after learning tho description of deceased, recognized hor dross as agreeing with that of a woman whom he saw aa he departed from the building late yesterday evening. She was then wringing her handB and moaning as it in great distress of mind.

It did not ocour to Mr. White to inquire the cause of her trouble, ond he thought no more of the woman until the rumor of the sutctde reached him. Coroner Simula will hold an inquest on tho body today, after which it will be removed to tho late residence of deceased for subsequent interment. CYDER THE BED. A Burfflar Found Concealed There.

At midnight last night Mr. Louis C. Kicot, whoso residence is at No. 58 Union avenue, became apprised by an int'mation from his wifo that Borne person was concealed beneath his bod. Upon investigation by the aid of a lighted match, a young man named William Lutx, a noar neighbor of Mr.

Nlcot, waa expoBOd to view. Tho Intruder lost no time In emerging from hia hiding place whereupon tho two clinched and contested rply for the mastery. During the tuaslo MrB. Nicot had opened the room door to Bunimon aid, and at an opportune moment Mr. Nicot was pushed out and thrown in the hallway and the door quickly shut by Lufz.

The springing of a latch upon tho door afforded Lutz an opportunity to escape lrom the room by dropping from the window to balcony below, and for the time boing he escaped. Deteotive Ennis at 8 o'clock this morning arrested Lutz, and upon being arraigned beforo Justice Guok tho prisoner plead guilty to a charge of attemptod burglary. Lutz, who had aneaked in aud opened tho room door with a key during the oveniug, waa held for the Grand Jury. MILITARY NOTES.

He believed her, but now belloves that she was pregnant at the time of their marriage. They lived together until October, when she gavo birth to a full grown, healthy child, tha paternity of whioh he disowns. Tho dhild fs still living. He never carnally knew her prior to thoir marriago, and would not have married her, had ho not believed her to bo a young lady of good reputation.

But four monthB and fourteen dayB Intervened betweon their marriage and the birth of tho child. He charges that the adultery waa committed at a rlaco called Betnpage, east of Hioksville, but is unablo to state at what times or with what person. Beside asking for tho divorce, he asks that the decree shall declare the child illegitimate. Mib. May.

in hor answer, through Judge Covert, her counsel, admits the marriago and birth of the ohild She says that while it 1b livlng.yot it is but half grown, ond at the time of birth, woighod lees than two pounds. At the time of hor marriage Bhe was pure and chaste, and has never know auy man other than ber husband. She denies that she ever represented to May before marriage that she waB a vir gin, Anaflldavlt by hor fathor accompanied the pleadings. He swears that daughter had her hUBband arrested for abandonment. Tho case was tried before Justice Snedeker, In Hompatoad.

Before its oonolusion May became reconciled to his wife, and paid her board to hor father whila he pretended to bo looking for a dwelling In which to begin housekeeping. He never fulfilled his promise, but instead instituted those proceedings. This case Involves some features entirely new lu tho art of divorce. There" is a statute which declares as legitimate chlldron that may bo born of a married woman, even if her husband should bo absont from the Stare during the period of conception, aud return to it and her within less than a yesr. Ho must be continuously absent ond separated from his wifo for a full year, during which lime tho child must be born.

A case of this ohnracter has been decided. When Richard llusteed waa Federal Judge in Alabama he took with him from Jamaica as body servant a Itht couiplexionod negro, who left his wife childless behind him. He had been in Alabama for quite a year, and learning that hiB wife was to become a mother, returned to Jamaica. She acknowledged her infidelity, and the fathor of her childron (she gavo birth to twins) waa arrested on the suit of tho Overseers of the Poor to compol him to support them. The case, under tho law mentioned, was decided adverse to the Overseers, the husband having returned within tho year.

Mrs. May's child having been born in wedlock, tho question of its legitimacy will be an interesting legal study. The diilerouco of opinion in the complaint and answer, whether the child ib full grown or half grown, will bo a matter on which the physicians will be able to dobate long and earnestly, and if they disagree who is to decide A child of loss than two pounds weight is a natural curiosity to begin with, and tho many curious points involved will make one of the notable cases of tho time. Judge Pratt allowod tho wifo $100 counsel fee and $5 per week alimony, while tho plaintiff is only earning $15 per month, and Bent the trial of the case to Colonel Fleming. ROSSVALLY.

The Converted Jew Makes a Sfatemeaat. He Denies Any Connection with the Bill Raiser Blanker Other Than a Legitimate One RossYally's Record. L. M. Rossvally, tho converted Jew, whose name has been unpleasantly connected with that of James L.

Manker, whose transactions in the bill raising buuineas have been quite extensive in Brooklyn, came to Police Headquarters this morning for tho purpose of making a atatement regarding the matter. He Baid that he was laboring in tho mission work io Philadelphia, when he saw in a papor an account of Mauker's arroet, and what he haB Baid regarding him, and his connections with the paper of which he was the editor. "When I was living in Brooklyn several month ago," said Rossvally, "Mankor came to me. Ho was in a moat deplorable condition, and was indeed a pitiable object. He was almost without clothing and shoes, and he looked half starved.

I fed and clothed him, and sent him away. He came to mo aftorward and importuned me bo strongly, saying that he had beon in tho habit of writing for papers, that I finally GATE HIM EMPLOYMENT ON MY PAPEB, the Hebrew Evangelist and Converted Jew. He wrote lor me, conducted my correspondence, and did other work, for whioh I paid him $8 a week, HiB statement that he obtained tho $10 raised bill from me is entirely false. I never gavo him a $10 bill either counterfeit or genuine in my life. I don't see how he can say that the Btencil plates wore left by me in a tract at his house, because I visited him but seldom, and never left tracts at hia house.

He worked steadily for mo, ond I always paid him regularly. Hia statement that I did not use liim rightly djsplayB base ingratitude on his part, for I took him In, and fed, clothed and gavo him employment, when he was destitute." At this point Rossvally left and wont to the United States Court Building, on Montague street, and desired Marshal Harlow to give him A PASS TO THE JAIL to bco Manker, but it was refUBed without the consent Of the District Attorney. Mr. Hall, tbe Assistant U. 8.

DiBtrlct Attorney, was also importuned, but he refused. Marahal Harlow slated to the reporter that Rossvally was tho same person who bad been convloted in this county several yoars ago, for employing a man to make a ateel plate of a $5 bill, but the party got frightened and made a clean breast of the affair. Rossvally was arrested, convicted and sonteuced to twelve years' imprisonment in the Kings County Penitontlary, but was pardoned nearly three years sgo. Dotective Butts, who was a keeper in the Penitontlary at the time, remembers him well, and says that ho behaved bmiBelf Bo well whilo there, that it Beomed almost a pity not to pardon him. Sinoo his liberation Rossvally has become A CONVEBT TO CHRISTIANITY, and has appeared bofora, and lectured to several church congregations in this oity.

He is a man of good address and appearance. He has an excellent eduoation, and can apeak seven differont languages. He was especially vehement in denying the statement that Manker wrote hia sermons. Ab a matter of faot ho says he did not need Mauker's services at all, and only aftor trying unsuccessfully to find other employment gave him work which was not intended to bo pormanont. RoBsvallj' is indorsed by many Christian ministers, lotters from whom ho possesses, and exhibits as credentials.

THE NATURE OF THE BELIEF FOOD. Sup. Strong Bald he had visited the Second District relief store, in Wbioughby street. It seemed to him that the various BUb committees should make it their business to visit frequently tbtlr respective stores and examine the supplies. Sup.

Sexton said he visited the Second District relief tore evory other aay and compared the supplies with the Bamples. The former generally were better than the hitter. Sup. Byrne I saw a communication in the Eagle of yesterday whioh complained of the supplies being delivered to the poor at the storehouses. In my Dis triot (the First) I am told by the storekeeper tiat the artiolea delivered by the contractors are up to sample.

I had baked some of tho flour, and it a good sweet and wholesome broad. Sup. Phelps, of the sub committee on tho Fourth District storehouse, was of the same opinion. MOBE POBTEB3 NEEDED FOB BELIEF STOBES. 8up.

Byrne reported that there was need of an additional porter in the First Diatrict, in consequence of the largo increase of business at the storehouse. Since the opening of the store on the 23d of December, rune thousand one hundred and seventy families have been relieved. To make up the allowance for them, there have been omployed a storekeeper, olerk and four porters, who have been severely taxed to keep up with the demand. Another porter was Baid to be required in tie Third District storehouse, Wil)iam3rurgh, The Committee will recommend the employment of additional help at the noxt meeting of tho Board of Supervisors. The Committee then adjourned.

The Operations ot Two "Women and a Boy in Grand Street Stores. Yesterday afternoon, two middle aged woman and a boy of thirteen went into various Btores on Grand street, and under pretense of making purchases carried away whatever goods thoy could without at traoting suspicion. There modo of operating was tho old one of engag the attention of tho person who attended the store, whilo tho second woman doftly transferred to her basket what articles sUo could, and tho boy appro priated goods oxhibited in front ol the store. The dull, plodding appoarance of the women was well calculated to disarm suspicion, but their euccess rather emboldened them, and so led to their arrest in store on the corner of Grand and Sixth streets, To the recklessness of tho boy in taking a child's ohnir in front of Moyer's furniture Btoro, at the place indicated, was attributablo their detection. The youngster was walking away with the piece of furniture when Officer Alfred Quinn arrested him, and women who wero in tho store were also taken to Fifth Precinct Station House.

Iu their baskets wero found four shoulders and a ham and gloves and stockings. Mr. Bogorn, ot Grand and Third streets, claimed the moat.

The illicit distillery and reottf ying establishment of Brady Mullady was on the corner of Gold and John Btreets, in a building known as the Candle Factory," and for Borne considerable time they carried on large and profitable bUBinosB there. The place waa seized in October, 1874, and indictments were shortly afterward found against both men, and warrants issued for their arrest. A year elapsed boforo the warrants could be served, as both men fled to Canada when the place was seized, and afterward thoy returned to New York, whore thoy kept in hiding, but wero finally arrested and gave bail in $10,000 each, to await trial and ultimately plead guilty.

BEDFORD AVENUE REFORMED CHURCH. What Bcv.

Or. Porter and Sis People Are Dolnif and Have Done. A recent reference in the course of a political controversy to the condition of tho Bedford avenuo Riforuied Church has had tho effect of bringing to the Eagle tho following account of the congregation and the work it has done and Is doing The church is engaged in an active and extenBlvo work this Winter for tho roliof of the poor. Food, clothing and fuol to some extont are distributed under system of careful Inspection, managed in the main by intelligent women. Their charities are not limited soot, nationality or creed but are distributed undo tho promptings of a large Christian humanity.

Every week the ladtos of this cburoh meet to make garments for the needy who may be found in contiguous localities, and every Saturday afternoon a sewing Bchool for little girls is held, in which about 850 pupils are taught to sing, sew and recite the sacred Scriptures. The garments made up by theso girls aro given to them when completed. The church has TWO SUNDAY SCHOOLS, numbering over one thousand children, well supplied with teachers, bo that in fact it has under its core a household of young people to the number of fourteen hundred and upward. There is also a most popular and efficient Young People's Association, with a membership of about 300, and whi cultivates tho arts of musio, reading, poetry, paiuliug and tho social virtues of the Gospol. Altogether this church deserves' to be regarded as among the most influential in this city.

Its congregation is a large one and inoludcs many of the solid men who arc connoctod with public institutions or ongaged in the conduct of largo private enterprises. It has also many professional gentlemon of eminence and writers, whose pens have gained them distinction. BEY. DB. PORTER recently entered upon tho twonty olgth year of his pastorate of this venerable and prosperous church.

For Bixteeu yoarB he was the responsible and industrious editor of the Christian Intelligencer, of New York. For three years subsequent he retained his connection with tbBt paper, writing editorials only for its columns. For tho last four years he has been the literary editor of tho Christian at Work. But, while devoting much of hiB time to the preparation of matter for the preBs, he has been diligent in the Bervice of his church, and finds his many labors rewarded in the warm attachment and generous co oporatlon of his people. Tho Committee of Inspection recently reported the building of the Bedford avenue Reformed Church to be about the most perfect in its construction of any public edifice they had visited.

It seats a large congregation, and for lectures, concerts and the like is used by the people of the Eastorn District very much as the Acade my of Music is used here for largo assemblages. It occupies sereo city lots, and tho total cost of land, church, chapol and furniture was $140,000. Its fiuances have been managed with care and prudence, and notwithstanding the depression of tho times, its fiscal statoment pubUshed on the let of January last showed that Its resources we're constantly increasing and a Bniall balance of floating dobt was being paid off by gradual and regular methods. This is a good account which we aro thus able to give of a church which has long had historio relations to the growth and progress of this city. ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR DIAMOND CLAIHED.

The Sealers of Weights aud Measures Taking Advantage of the Aldermanic Deadlock Bitter Fruits of Democratic Dissensions The Rush for Street Cleaning Contracts The Highest and Lowest Bidders for the Wort General Slocum's Last Kick A Relic of Old Sewerage.

One of the bitter fruits of the Aldermanic dead lock ia now being experienced by the Demoorats. Alderman James Donovan, of the Twelfth Ward, who has seen fit to place himself in opposition to bis party oolleagues in tho Board, has the "honor" of being responsible for it. The whole matter is just this Among the appointments to be mode by tho Board of Aldermen aro six pealcrs of weight and measures. These poaitiona are now held by Republicans, and in oonsoqnenoe of the dead look in the Board their successors cannot bo appointed. Tho Demoorats have a majority of ono in the Board, and the appointments belong to them; but the fooUshly obstinate oonrae of Alderman Donovan has prevented them from dispensing the patronage they are entitled to.

The Republican eea'ers axe shrewd chaps. They were appointed for a term of one year, but In the absence of the appointment of their successors, they continue to act. Fooling that there waa a probability of their ultimately LOSING THEIB PLACES, they reoently began to visit the different stores, Bhops, Ac, where inspection is required, and to colleot their fees for the year. Tho law entitles them to receive pay for their services but once a year. That is, a tradesman who has his weights or measur js sealod pays once each year for it.

Although a sealer may oxamina and test them twenty times a year, tho sealer receives, pay only onoo. Ho can collect at any time he pleaBes. Tho Republican Boalers have taken advantage of tho dead look and began collodion so that by the time thoir successors shall havo been appointed thore will bo no foes to collect. This is a pioco of sharp practice, certainly but thero does not to bo any legal remedy. The sealers aro Samuel Frost, for the district comprised in tho bouudarios of tho 8ccoud Congressional District.

Godfrey Lincks and Jno. L. Guischard, for the district comprised in the boundaries of the Third Congressional District, except the Thirteenth and Nineteenth wards. George Oielil and Jamos Riley, for the district comprised in the Fourth Congressional District to the City Line, and the Thirteenth and Nineteenth wards. Ono of tho soalere, James Quinn, died recently.

Ho aotod with Frost. The latter is said to be collecting the fees for tho ontire district. Frost wan formerly an Assistant United States Assessor, and also Supervisor of the Tenth Ward. Guisohard ia an active Republican politician of the Twenty third Ward. Lincks is ono of tho small fry of the Seventh Ward.

Giehl iB ono of the Slxtoonth Ward ahouters. Kiley Is also oue of tho small fry, whose services for the "barty" on election day eeoured him the plaoe. WHAT THE SEAIEBSHIT IS WOBTH. It is estimated that the fees of a sealer will amount in a year to about JJ1.000. The FaBtern District men probably make a little more, as they have a better field of operations.

The law fixes the fees as follows For sealing and marking evory beam, ten cents. Sealing and marking measures of extension, at the rate of ten cents a yard, not to exceed fifty cents for any one measure. Sealing and marking every weight, five cents. Sealing and marking liquid and dry measures, ton cents for each meaBuro. A sealer is also entitled to a "reasonable compensation" for making weight and measures conform to tho standard a in his possession.

THE STANDABD3 furnished each man aro as follows One set Biandard dry measures. One sot standard liquor moaaures. One town and city sealer's scalos. One set covered blook brass weights, 4 pounds idovra. One 14 2ounds solid brass weight.

One 7 pounds solid braBs weight. Twenty 60 pounds iron weights. Ono brass yard measure. One drill for Bealor'a use. OPPOSITION.

Tho frlonds cf a numb3r of tradesmen Tavo advlaed the latter not to pay tho Boalors, on the ground that it is very questionable whether the sealers can legally collect. Section 32 of chapter 134 of the aot of April 11, 1851, provides "It shall be the duty of evory person keeping any store, grocery or other; placo for the sale or purchase of ouch commodities as are usually sold by wolght or measure, onoo in each year, to produce the weights and measures used by him to be oompated with the standard in this aot provided, and shall be subject to a flue of flvo dollars for every neglect to comply with this provision, to be recovercdby any one who Bhall proBeouto therefor." The question has boen raised as to whether Boalers appointed for 1876 oan act for 1877. On the other hand it iB clalmod that the sealers continue to act until their successors shall have boen appointed. Had Donovan acted with his party, as the people of the Twelfth Ward intended he should when they elected him, this trouble would not have arisen. Democrats' difficulty la Republicans' opportunity.

A few days ago, by the votes of CommiBBioners Fowler and Adame, the contract for cleaning sewer baBins was awarded to the Mutual Steam Excavating Company at $21,250, and tho contract for oleaning the sewers was awarded to Seth L. Keeney at $30,000, This work has heretofore been done by laborers employed by the Department, but neither bo cheaply nor eo woll as it can be done by contraot.

Today Slocum moved to advertise for proposals for tho work, notwithstanding the awarding of these contraots. His motion was promptly squelched. He then moved that a clause be inserted in the contracts empowering tho Board, with or without cause, to terminate tho contracts at any time after tho expiration of four months. Commissioners Fowler and Adams voted for the motion just to please, the General. "A BELIO OF OLD 8EWEB WOBK." The Chief Engineer sent a communication to the Board of City Works to day, stating that the arch of the Hamilton avenue sewer, from Columbia Btreet to Hamilton Ferry, is In a dangerous condition, and that the sewer which was built in 1838 was gradually crumbling away.

He stated that the coat of rebuilding it and raising the outlet would be about $6,500. "This," ooncludod tho engineer, "is a relic of old sewer work done previous to any system having been established and calls for rebuilding." THE STREET CLEANING BIDS.

Si Jiiiectoi'Ri uescion Before Congress. A Brief Speech in Opposition to the Proposed Tribunal by Mr. Seagant, of CaliforniaSenator Colliding Besnmes His Argument in Faror of the Measure. Washington, Jan. 2.

In the 8onat, whan the consideration ot the unfinished business being the bill in regard to oounting tho Electoral vote was resumed, Mr. Conklint who was entitled to the floor not having arrived, Mr. Sargent Oal.) toop the floor and spoke in opposition to tho Dill He said he had endeavored to bring his mind to an assent of the provisions ot hi bill: First, because he I desired that a result might be worked out or mis complication that would bo satisfactory to the whole country; and, second, because no desired that equal and ox act justioo shall be done to every candidate voted for at tho late Presidential elootion, and to each of the parties which put those candidates forward; but he did not be lieve thiB bill would accomplish any suoh result'. There l8i wero suspicions of unfairness about the oui. gave improper powers to the tribunal whioh it created, and If fairness was deslror), the bill wb very unfortunate because the ronult to be accomplished by it depended upon one man to tw selected; oe yet ho was unknown.

Tho supporters of the bill had addressed their arguments to two questions only: First, was the bill Constitutional And, second, was it expedient Ho then argued that it was never intended that Congress should count tho electoral vote or discriminate between the roturns. If tho framors of the Constitution bad intended to lodgo any euch power in Congress, a few words would, have made it certain. It was not intended to lodge euch tianijurous power in Congress bocauao the two Houses could thoir.jolvcs create the exigency in which tho provided tho House should elect uod the a Vice President. Ho aruuod that tho power to count the Eleot wal voto was lodged iu the President of tho Senate. He (jueicd at length from the Madison papers, and argued Hint tho clauso of the Constitution in regard to countiug tho Electoral vote, as at first agreed upon by thi Constitutional Convention, read ''The President of the Senate shall open ait the certificates, atld tho voto shall be thon nnd there counlod in tho presence ot the Senate una Houso of Beprescntativoa." It was referred to the Committee on Uevisioo, and subsequently I eported to road "'ho President of tho Sonote shall, in the prosenoe of the Senate and Houko of Koptosontntlvos, open all tho certificates and tho votes shall then bo counted." The members of th9 Committee on Revision argue that the clauso, as rovisea ana reponcu, uiu u0nT the same as that originally agreed upon by the Convention.

The Government now existing in South Carolina, represented by Wade Hampton aB Governor, is the lawful Government of tho State; that it is Republican iu form and should bo uphold by the Government of tho United States, But as neither of those Senators was in thi Chambor tho resolutions were laid aside? There being no further morning business at USD the Senate resumed the consideration of their un. finished business, being the bill iu rogard to counting the eleotoral vote. Mr. Conkling, who was cntitlod to the floor, not having reached the Senate, a recess was taken for ten minutes. The Spanish Ministar and wife gavo an entertainment last night to a distinguished company, including all the foreign legations, tho cabinet officers, mombors of the foreign affairs committees, and other persons of prominence.

A largo numbor of ladies wore also presont. The decoration of the rooms was rich and beautiful, and the table hospitalities choice and The death of George William MoLellan, formerly Second Assistant Postmastor General, is announced. Ho was in tho seventy third year of his age, and died of pneumonia. The John F. Cook school building for colored children; on street, was destroyed by fire at an early hour this morning.

Tho building was the property of tho District Government, aud woe a substantial three story brick struoture, containing twelve rooniB. It was built in 1BC8, being among the first colored echoed buildings erectod in this oity, and was valued at S14.00D. It oontained about worth oi furniture, which with tho building, was entirely destroyed. Th; Ions is mostly coveted by Insurance. Tue origin of the fire is unknown.

Another "Victory" for the Female Suffragists, This morning Charles Bruome, a wheelwright and blacksmith, was arraigned before Justice Sender on a charge of malicious mischief. The accused resides at the houso of Mrs.

Matilda Ottmer, No, 1,010 Broadway. He occupies apartments on tho second floor, and it appears that Mrs. Ottmer and ho fail to agree. This month he allowed his rent to go nnpaid for a fow days and Mrs. Ottmer was congratulatiug horself on the proBpect of being able to dispossess him.

She took steps to that ond. A warrant was obtained from Justice Soulier, and tho plaintiff, feeling certatn ol a verdict, appeared in Court to prove her case, whon to her discomlitura BruemB stepped up aud paid the amount of rent demanded beside the costs of the action. This, of course, entitles him to continue in possession. Mrs. Ottmer's next move was to obtain a warrant on complaint against him for malicious mischief, the executiou of which led to the arraignmont.

Mr. Parmenter appeared for Brueme and the caBe proceeded. Mrs. Ottmer a indBoine, fine looking lady, with an Oriental caBt of features acting in her own behalf. "Had you not better have counsel askod his Honor, fearing that tho plaintiff might bo unequally matched.

no, thank you," was tho response. "I know something of law, although not a lawyer by profession, and I feel quite capable of protecting my own interests." In the outset Mr. Ottmer gave testimony that defendant had maliciously proceeded to tho opposite side of the street, and there waited uutil he saw hor cIobb up tha cigar store kept by her, knowing that she immediately atter doing so, always lacked the mdo entrance by which her tenants had access to their rooms; that hia purpose in doing so was to givo her the trouble of opening tho door to admit him, aud, that in finding that she did not do so, defendant immediately broke the door in aud creatod a disturbance. Mrs. Otmor's testimony was so clear aud explicit that an effort to shake her on cross examination proved futile.

Thou It became defendant's turn to take the stand and to submit, after giv iug his testimony, to Mrs. Ottiucr's cross examination. This was so woll conducted as to surprise the Court and several lawyors who happened to be present. The lair counsolor offered to call witnesses in rebuttal, but his Honor remarked that they were unnecessary. She had won her caso.

Bvuouio was bouud over to keep tho peace. the value of reputation. A Wealthy TVew lorn Merchant Sued tor Slant! or Twenty Thousand Dollar Uuiiiatcs Claimed. In the Circuit Court this morning before Justice Gilbert nnd a jury, Leon B. Witiship, a boy of twenty, sued James II.

Adnunce, a wenlihy Now York merchant, for damages for alleged slaudor. In opening for tho plaintiff General Catliu made a statement substantially as follows Loon resides at No. 17 Bedford avenuo, Brooklyn, with his parents, and iu 1872, when llfteon, was employed by Mr. Adtiance, of tho firm of Adriauce 4t Robbins, of 341 Drudway. New York, at a wook.

His salary waa raised until iu the beginning of 1875 ho was receiving a week, In the Spring of 1875 Mr. Adrianca missed goods from his store, and a clerk mimed Charles Foster and another cmpl jyo confessed that they had atolen them, but implicated uo ono else. Foster was allowed to go, on paying the value of tho stolon goods, and was sent out West by Mr. AJriance. Foster wrote to Mr.

Adrianco, implicating the plaintiff in the theft of goods. Mr, Adriauce sent for tho plaintiU's father, showed blm the lettor and said his sod had robbod him, and if ho didn't pay $300 he would end him to State Priton. Tho plaintiff's fathor said he wns poor and couldn't pay, and Mr. Adrianco gavo him until the next moruimr. The next Saturday young Winship was discharged.

Tha damages are claimed for tho injury inflicted on tho plainlill by him to be'a thief. Tho answer denies gencraly the slander, and explains the alleged threat of sending tho plaintiff to State Prison unless $300 was paid in this way Defon dakt said that tho firm had loBt a quantity of goods, and that they ought to bo indemnified, whereupon plaintiff's father asked what sutn would indemnify them and defoudant replied $J00. Defendant denies having said was a thief, and Buys that what ho Baid was that Fo. charged him with having stolon goods. The case is ou.

The attendance at Niblo's Garden for the first two nights yf tho woek would not leave the impression that tho theatres had failed to attraot, or that the public had wearied of the spleudors of the spectacular drama. The revival of the pieco promises indeed to eclipse the glories of the original production. Tha liiralfys have always made a point of doing everything thoroughly, and in this matanoe have spared neither pains nor expense.

The utrnoirt that ingenuity and experience could do to make the spectacle brilliant has been done, and some of the scenes are marvels of pictorial and soenic art. The costuming is singularly fine, and the ballet conspicuous equally for its oxoellent discipline and individual attractiveness. The faces are bright aud fresh, whilo tn polut of symmetry the make up of the participants is unusually goo3. The Hindoo funeral pageant includes 250 young ladles, and is admirably put on the stage. Miss Imogene Vaudyfco appeared in the "Gascon" in this city, playe the inni.M it trt ro fY etinn part of the widow Aol'((1, and looks It to perfection.

The cast is iarne and good looklnc tue sconerj sapero. The ballet unusually pleRSUig. There is every reason therefore to expect ft most success. ul revival of tho spectacle. While Cliristiiin AVuterhonse, aged 15, of No.

EingBley Keeney against the City of Brooklyn, to recover for work and materialB furnished to tho Hempstead Reservoir. The referees, Judgo Lott, Thomas Rodman and George H. FiBher met in the Common Council Chambor at ten o'clock.

William Beard was first called by tho defense He i was examined by Mr. John K. Parsons, tho associate of Corporation Counsel De Witt. MB BEABD TESTIFIED I that he had lived in Brooklyn Binoo 1835, and in Now York sinoo 1825 he had been a contractor since 1816 in 1829 and 1830 ho cut through Third avenue, New York, after that be was engaged in the Harlem Railroad ho built the Brooklyn and Jamaica Railroad, and the lower end of the Long Island Railroad, also a portion of the Croton Wator Works in New York, tlio Atlautlo avouue lunnol, Atlantio avonue, Myrtle, Flushing and other streot work; ho built wator works in St. Johns, Now Bruuswiok, and improvod the navigation of a river in Michigan; he built Boisloy'a i Pond, iu the Brooklyn Wator Works, which involvod I about 300,000 yards of excavation; his attention waa first called to the storage reservoir when he under stood that there was going to bo a job "smuggled over;" he put in a proposal to do that work.

Tho question was asked tho witness what ho did in this direction, which was objected to by Mr. Van Cott. The question was allowed. The witness then Btated that ha requested Chief Engineer Adams put in a bid for the work, handing him a letter at the time; Adams said ho would bring the 1 letter to the Board, which he did, and came back and told witness that the Board would cousider his requost; the next thing he hoard was that Kingsley Keeney had received tho contract he then wont to Adams and asked him to eee profiles aud plans, and he saw that 415,000 yards of excavation were set down on them; he subsequently visited tho locality of the storage reservoir. Mr.

Parsons offered the latter which was given by tha witness to Adams. It was submitted in ovidenee. It waa a request to seo the specifications for tho proposed work. i Witness went Jon to Bay that ho handed tho lettor to Adams on the day it was dated ho did not hear from Adams or the JBoara rrom tno time no nanaea mat letter to the former until he heard that tho contract liBd beon given to Kingsloy Keeney; for 27 years ho had beon engaged in a company which oonstructoJ water works and was now working on tho Erie Basin. IN THE BEGINNING OF 1872 when this contraot was awardod ho was a large taxpayer in tho Oity of Brooklyn and had abundant moans to carry out any oontract whioh he undertook.

Mr. Beard hero volunteered a good deal of information about his business affairs which was irresponsive to tho question, and ho waa with diffloully brought to order by the Court. He then etatod that aftor tho oontract was awardod to tho plaintiffs he made an estimate of the work and handod tbe same to the Committee of Fifty he woe in communication with this Committee before hts first interview with Adams; it was through its suggestion that he first called upon tho Water Board; he observed shortly after delivering his estimate to the Committee that it was published in the newapapers. Mr, Beard 8 estimate and his accompanying communication aa published wore offered in ovidenee. Witness said that in hie estimate ho allowed five cents a yard for furnishing his own spoil bunk and estimated excavating at thirty conta por oublo yard ho subsequently learned that the excavation was deepened by reducing the flow line in his estimate bo assumed a depth of a foot and a half to two feot at tho bottom af tee tho trees aud roots wero removed it would beat leait one third cheaper to make the excavation lieasiey ruau WUO UCtiJ.

Did you know how deep you wore to drive thoso piles A.

I do not. Q. Do you know that you were required to drive them llftoeu feet and you only drove them threo feet A. I do not it was the engineer's fault. Mr.

Board here harangnod tho Court at longth, and tho reiereos and counael wore all laughing. Tue stenographer was told to omit his trrovalenl oration. General Tracy, after ho had got through, askod him if lie didn't know that that dam which he built st Beasley'e Pond was carried awav aftorward. WitneBB replied that he did, but he didn't know that Kingsley A Keeney had robuilt the dam Mr. Lano waa tho engineer who had chargo of tlio work unaer bis contract Mr.

Lano was present wheu the piles wore driven. Q. Didn't you get pay of the oity for driving throe piles fifteen feet i A. I can't tell whether I did or not. WitnesB further said that MoElroy wrota the letter which he handod to Adams In tho boginnlng or lBia; he had been In consultation with McElroy before the writing of this lettor he USED TO MEET WITH TnE COMMITTEE OF FIFTY at times, and waB a member, as was McElroy; he was twieo at the Hempstead Rosorvoir before he wrote this letter, Mr.

Beard, furthor testified, that ho had used his influence to havo Corwlu, Fowlor and Chlof Engineer Adams removed from their positions, and that ho did ao only as a large taxpayer.

Tho unfortunate fact is that from a succession of Iobscs and depreciation in all values, I am In debt and unable to pay.

Your informant, who is styled "Creditor knows the falsity of his representations as well as I do, and can only be Intended for effeot upon tho meetinc of creditors, to be held to morrow, 25th at which, notwithstanding your doubts, I propose to be present. Please give the above aa conspicuous a placo In your columns this day as tbe article of yesterday. Yours very respectfully, J.
