SI 1. North Second street. About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, during the absence of her husband, Bix Italians, she saya, forced their way into her apartments, giVggod her, tied her and, having otherwise abused her, made their escape. The names of the assailants have not been made public, nor is it certain that they are known. The neighborhood, however, is aware of the facts and the affair has already gained publicity.

The woman visited Justice Naeher'8 Court this morning and stated her ease, but what action has been taken in regard to it is at present, of course, Unknown. SHE IS NO URUtE, Although Somebody Wrote Her Wedding Programme Miss Catharine Ballard Not Yet Prepared to Accept as a Husband Her Uncle's Young Kuglish Boarder. A letter received in the Eaoie office Saturday night conveyed the information that Fiatbush society was to be enlivened the next evening by a wedding. This was the writer's way of announcing it: BnooitLVX, November 24, 1888. To tho Editor of the Brooklyn Eggle would you Kindly iucort in your valible Paper that there is a Grand Wedding to take Place on 25 ms at the Residence of the Uncle of the Bride Mr Robert Richards Vernon Ave Fiatbush Miss Catiiarino Ballard Mr John Stubbs the latter boing a young Englishman of High Rank Mr Arthur Gallagher as best man and Rebecca New ell as Bridesmaid Miss Lizzie McCarthy as little maid of honor.

That, of course, was a wedding not neglected, and the Eaole's most distinguished society reporter was assigned to it. He was disappointed when he arrived at the residence of Sir. Richards, for he was informed that no one there knew anything about a wedding to take place that evening Miss Catharine Ballard, who keeps house for her uncle, was there, but sho was quite sure that IN SPITE OF niLli Mcltane May Hold EBis Own at Albany. If BUe Can et Enough Votes to Override the Governor's Veto the County Farm and ClmrHicM Department Will Change Hands. The continuation of the lamentable state of affairs at Fiatbush, because of tho slow progress made at St.

Johnland in preparing tho costly accommodations for the county's insane, coupled with some interesting poUtical conditions, makes it. certain that another bill will be introduced in the coming Legislature to take tho Farm management out of the hands of the jobbing Board of Supervisors. Just what shape this measure will assume is yet undetermined. A bill to place tho constructive work at St. Johuiand wholly in tho earo of the Commissioners of Charities would meet tho necessities of tho ease, but could hardly acquire the political force' necessary to put it through, and the more likely measure is one similar to that vetoed by Governor Hill.

It contemplated a commission composed of William H. Ray, present president of the Charities Board: County Auditor Daniel Lake, ex Alderman J. W. Birkett and Supervisor at Large John A. (Juintard, which politically would divide things evenly.

The Charities Department will become solidly Democratic after January 1, 1800, and this fact alone would insure the death of a bill placing tho Farm in the Board's hands. The Board is nominally Democratic now, but Commissioner Hynes is non partisan and by constantly voting with Mr. Ray keeps Colonel B. Frank Gott. the machine Democrat in the Board, in hopeless minority.

Messrs. Hynes and Ray go out after another year, and then Colonel Gott will have two fledged Democrats for colleagues. They will bo appointed by Mr. Quin tard. This situation cannot commend the commitment of the Farm to tho Board by a Republican majority, admitting that Governor Hill would sign such a bill.

So a duplication of last yeai's measure is more probable. The chief promoter of the bill was John Y. Mc Kane, of Gravosond. It was introduced by his Assemblyman, D. W.

Tallmadge, of the Twelfth District, and duly pasHed, to the end that it might reform the Farm and avonge him upon his enemies of the Democratic machine. The Democratic machine, through Hugh McLaughlin and William H. Murtlun put the screws upon his Excellency the Governor and induced him to veto the bill, though under doop political obligations to Mu MeKane. This year there aro seventy nine Republican and forty nine Democratic Assoniblymen. Six moro legislative votes added to the Republican column would enable the majority to pasa bills over the Governor's veto by the necessary eighty five, or two thirds of the whole.

Tho Republicans are eagerly desirous of securing this additional power, and it is an open secret that they are now trying to secure it. It would seem easy, in view of the hostile attitude of the County Democracy toward Governor Hill and triumphant Tammany, to acquire the needed half dozen from their quota of Assemblymen. It will be tried, anyway. Mr. MeKane, according to his own report, means to carry tho warfare merrily on.

Ho gave substantial evidouco of his strength Election day and will put his power behind a new County Farm bill, for which he will certainly secure a solid Republican vote. Some sanguine people believe that the Governor can bo induced to sign it this time as a means of placating tlie Gravosond chieftain, and that if he can't or if Mr. McKauo won't be placated the job of overriding will bo lustily attempted. Whatever form the new bill will take it is cafe to predict that no Democrat other than Mr. Lake will be included in the commission formed under its terms.

The old form may remain, but some of the names will be shifted. If an offensive and defensive alliance between tho County Democracy and the Republicans is formed it is not at all certain that the Charities Department will not he entirely reorganized and handed over to Republican control for an indefinite period. STRIKERS PUNISHED. The Outcome of the Nostrund Avenue BOlTHr HIS OFF After Taking tho Law into Xheh Own Hands Two Wealthy Jewelers of Flat bush Who Have Paid Dearly for a Merry r.ittle IVfidnight Foray. Horatio D.

and Frederick C. Watson, tho wealthy New York jewelers whoso villa at Fiatbush is among the handsomest of tho residences there, aro no longer under the ban of a criminal indictment charging them with assault in the second degree. Assistant District Attorney John U. Shorter, in the Court of Sessions this morning, moved that the indictment against them bo die missed, as tho matter had been satisfactorily arranged between the defendants and the com pjainant, Juan Alzamora. Judgo Moore granted tlie applications find the Watsons were discharged.

Tho indictment for tho indorsement "civil suit pending" and attached to it whb tho following paper: Hon. James W. Hideway, District Attorney of Klnrjs County Deaji Sin My client, Juan Alzamora, for an assault upon whom the above named defendants were indicted, has been fully compensated the defendants for the injuries received by him at their hands, and he has given them a general release from all claims and demands and has dis oontiriued the civil action brought by him against them in the premises. As far as Mr. Alzamora personally is concerned he has no desire that the above indictment be further prosecuted.

Jiiituv A. Wk.hkbf.bo, Attorney for Jnan Alzamora. November 24, 188S. The Watson brothers for a long time had been bothered by some malicious person who habitually destroyed the fence surrounding their residence, and they had lain in wait for him many times in vain. Mr.

Alzamora resides on Windsor Terrace, at some distance from the Watson's residence. He is an organist in church on East Seventy fourth street, New York, but had been for two years organist in All Souls' Church, this city, and for one year organist in St. John's Church, on St. Johns place, this city. On the morning of May 30, a little after 1 o'clock, ho was returning from a Knight of Honor lodge, in Ncsv York, where he had been playing the organ, and to get to hiB home had to pass the Watson homestead.

It was raining at tho time. As he passed the gate of the Watson residence Horatio D. and Frederick 0. Watson jumped upon him. One of them struck him on the forehead with a club and while ho was partly unconscious both drag led him into the house saying, "This is the rascal who haH been breaking our fence." Whon Mr.

Alzamora recovered he saw, he alleges, Frederick C. Watson with a pistol in his hand and Horatio D. Watson with a club. He wanted to know why he had been attacked, and asked to be allowed to go home. The WatsonB told him he could not go hoffie until he had accounted for the damage to the fence.

He asked how much damage had been done, and Horatio Watson replied that the damages amounted to $500; the other Watson said $100 would cover it. Finally, be was told he could go on tins payment of $25. Mr. Alzamora said he had but $10, but would pay the remaining $15 in the morning. Horatio Watson took the $10, saying: "Now 1 know you broke the fence, because if you had not you would not offer any money." They then called a policeman, who.

after handcuffing Alzamora, locked hiiu up. Horatio Watson gave the officer the $1 0. Mr. Alzamora complained to Jnstice Cox of tho assault on him and had both Watsons arrested. He then narrated the facts of the assault as stated, and Justice Cox held the Watsons in 500 bail for the Grand Jury.

They were then in dieted on a charge of assault in tho second degree, which indictment was dismissed this morning. Mr. Alzamora was not content with the criminal proceedings, but retained Lawyer Jerry A. Wernberg to bring a civil suit against the Watsons for $2,000 damages. This ease tliey aettled by giving Mr.

Alzamora $000, and he consented to discontinue the criminal prosecution. HATTERS GO OUT. Dickcrson Jt Brown's Men on Strike. National President Leonard Comes on From Boston, but After a Three Hours' Conference No Settlement is Arrived At. Locked out hatters crowded Scekamp's Hall at he corner of De.Kalb and Nostrand avenues to day, and with them trying to straighten out their grievances was Mr.

William J. Leonard, of Boston, who is president of tho National Hat Mail ers' Society. Until ten days ago the men were employed at the factory of Dickcrson it Brown, on Kosciusko street. In the hahnaking business it is the custom for employers and employes to agree upon a scale of prices every six months. On tho lath inst.

the scalo presented to their employes by Dic.kerson fe Brown was for stiff grade hata 1G aud 18 cents, with 5 cents added for second sizing. The men accepted these prices conditionally. They reserved tlie right to put a price on "overlaid" hats, whereby the change of mixture and work becomes harder and wages less. The men claim this to be tho rule in tho factories of Dunlap. Silverman, Samuels and others, but to this Dickcrson Brown would not agree, There was then a virtuil lockout, the men claim, in violation of article 30 of the bylaws of the local Hat makers' Society, by which employer and employe are alike bound and which says, "in ease of any dispute between the employer and bis men which tliey cannot settlo the same shall bo submitted to arbitration, in selection of which each party shall have equal voice, the decision of said arbitration to bo final unless carried to National Conference Committee, tho men to continue at work pending the settlement.

After a conference of nearly three hours to day tbe shop committee, who bad with them National President Leonard, were unable to como to terms with Mr. Brown of the firm. Afterward to an Eaule reporter Mr. Brawn said: "The National Association of Hat Makers and Finishers passed certain laws by which they should live. Law 4 said: 'Each shop shall regulate its own prices, which shall be mado at tho beginning of each season, and bills once established shall hold good through a season of six months.

Local manufacturers adopted bylaws to govern local matters on the same plan as the National Association, but loco.l organizations have no power to change the national law. From our journeymen on tho 10th inst. wo received the following: jlryv. JHeVerson Brown Tin: iournevmen employed in your shop inn adopted the bill of prices that you gave them on November 1 5. James J.

Doyle, President. T. J. "On November 7, 1888, the Brooklyn local association, "Without complying with article 30, adopted the following: In accepting this hilt the journeymen reserve the right to fix a price other than that contained in this bill for any and all bodies overlaid, or where the mixture is changed, whereby the work becomes harder and the wages become less. 1 claim that breaks the national law and is in bad faith with article 30 of the local laws.

Wo asked them to repeal that law and they refused. I rcfiiBO to work under anything but the national law." A NEW POINT Haloed in tho Case of the Fulton Elevated Company. The Aldcrmanio Committee on Railroads met at noon to day for the purpose of receiving from the Corporation Couusol a written opinion as to tho right of the Board to separate the routes of tho Fulton Elevated Railroad Company (the Kings County Company) and approve now only thermite for the extension through the Twenty sixth Ward. Tho committeemen in attendance were Aldermen Coffey (chairman), Kane, Murphy and Weeks. Colonel Langford and ox Alderman Stewart represented the company.

Mr. Jenks did not send an opinion to the committee, but he did send this letter: Br.00KLV.s November 20, 1888. Tito. Honordliti', the JiaHroad Committee of the Common Council: GrxTLMiEN I exceedingly regret that I shall not bo able to give an opinion to day on the question now before your committee relative to, your power togrant permission to an elevated railroad to enter upon a single route irrespective of the other routes propo icd for it. I had expected to report and submit my opinion in writing to day, and, if the law allowed, to report in iavor of such power, and I still hope to be able to doso tvithin a reasonable time; but I find that if I am called upon to decide the question at once I would be compelled to render the only opinion which would be absolutely safe ii: the absence of a full and careful consideration of the question, namely, that your Honorable Body must pasB upon ail the routes embodied in the report of the Commission.

Tho action proposed is a most serious departuro and one which should not bo taken until alter a full examination has convinced us that we neither establish au unreliable precedent, nor jeopardize the proceedings of the corporation which acts upon an improper consent. lam the law officer of the city upon whom is cast the responsibility of this action, if it be taken. I have in tho utmost good faith given the matter a great deal of study an examination. I can find no direct adjudications on this question as yet, and therefore it comes down to a question of construction or the statute and of the study ot the various proceedings required by law. I therefore do not feel prepared to make a lull report ou his subject at this hour; the matter has been in my hands since last Tuesday only, and the meantime I have been hard pushed with matters of earlier date, as yet unfinished, and by the necessity of preparation for the Court of Appeals, where I argue a most important case tor the city to morrow.

I do not see that any interest can be harmed bv asking for a reasonable extension of timo in a matter of such paramount importance. I write this explanation to your Honorable Body because I regret to disappoint and because I expected when I stated that I would be ready to day to have had the time to make that statement good. I think no one, on careful consideration of tho reasons herein set forth, can find any fault or make any criticism of this act. Very respectfully yours, Almet F. Jenks, Corporation Counsel.

On motion the committeo adjourned until Friday night and tho secretary was instructed request the Corporation Counsel to have his opinion ready at that time. Colonel Langford waa disappointed by the dilay. When the matter was referred to the committee the Board directed it to make a report at tlto meeting this afternoon. NO NEW CASES OF YELLOW FEVER. Surgeon Simon, of the Boston, Beportcd to Be Very Low.

Rear Admiral Gherardi, commandant of the Navy Yard, said this morning that he had learned nothing from Captain Ramsay, of the Boaton, in roard to the ravages of yellow fever among tho crew, when ho viBited tho ship yesterday on tho tug Catalpa beyond tho fact of tho death of two of the marincB and two naval apprentices and tho aicknesB of Surgeon W. S. Simon, Seaman Mitch eU and Fireman Thomas. He was not permitted, of course, to go aboard tho vessel. Captain Ramsay, he said, had told him nothing aa to the probable source of tho disease among the men and for tho present at least this was inexplicable.

What will bo done with the sick had not yet been determined, the Catalpa which was sent down to quarantine from tho yard this morning having not yet returned. 8o long as the Boston was under tho control of tho health authorities no plans ob to her future course could be mado by the Navy Department, the admiral thought, but it is un was the treasurer, and MO which had been placed in his keeping by Naval Cadet W. L. Mosely, and had not up to noon to day returned. Commander Chester, of the Galena, reported tho matter to the New York polico on Saturday night, and officers are now searching for tho defaulter, for whoso apprehension a reward has been offered.

Dearborn is a young man, and had worked his way up from tho position of marine to yeoman and thou paymaster's clerk. DIED SUDDENLY. Heart Blsenwe Carries Off ittrs. Jeremiah P. tttobiiison The End of a Charitable Her Daughter and Two r.ad children Suffering from Typhoid Fever.

Tho announcement of the death cf Mrs. 'Eliza bath De Witt Robinson, of No. 0 Montague Terrace, will bo read with deep regret by many in this city. Few women were better known in Brooklyn than Mrs. Robinson.

At an early ago she married the late Jeremiah V. Robinson, ono of Brooklyn's foremost citizens, and at once took her place among the social leaders of the city. Gentle and charming of manner, highly educated and possessing great kindliness of heart, Mrs. Robinson soon became most popular with both 5 oung and old. ner huBband and herself were devotedly attached to each other and, as an intimate friend of tho family said to day, "their wedded life was a continuous honeymoon." Her husband's death a few years ago was a blow from which she never fully recovered.

Mrs. Robinson was a very charitablo woman and was connected with nearly all the institutions in tho city that had for their object the giving of assistance to the poor and the helpless. It was through her efforts that the mission school connected with the Chinch of the Pilgrims, Rev. Dr. Storm', was started, and by her liberal contributions it has been carried on.

At a time whou "Darby's Patch'' was at its worst Mrs. Robioson led a band of brave ladies among those scenes of poverty and distress and carried hope and sunlight into many a wretched home. Mrs. Robinson was 70 yearB of age at the time of her death. Tho direct cause of her decease was heart trouble.

Up to within a fow moments cf the fatal attack she was in her usual good health, and was conversing at the time she was taken ill with two of her grandchildren. For several weeks past there has been sickness in the RobiiiFon family. Mrs. Leonard, a married daughter of Mrs. Robiimon, and her two children having both been ill with typhoid fever, and it is supposed that worry over her daughter's condition affected Mrs.

Robinson's health. The funeral will take place to morrow afternoon at 2 o'ulock from tho Church of the Pilgrims. GENERAL MORSE'S SUDDEN DEATH. He Walked to His Daughter's House and Kxpired in a Chair. General' Augustus Morse, of 420 Franklin avenue, died suddenly at the residence of his daughter.

ueilows. He is charged with violation of the Election laws in inducing one Francis Drake, a colored man, to register, although he was not a legal voter. It appears that a good many years ago Drake served a term in the Penitentiary for manslaughter. He born in that section of the city now known as tho Twenty fourth Ward, and ex Supervisor Morr ison has known mm tor many years. He does not deny that he knew Drake was an ex convict.

It further appears that in the course of lis ante election activity Mr. Morrison told Drake to register and he did so. Tho verifiers: who were scrutinizing the registry lists saw Drake, and found out he was an ex convict. He went to the ox Supervisor, who told him to stand his ground, and meanwhile ho would Bee Lawyer Edward K. Hobbs about the matter.

Drake was arrested for illegal registration, and ex otiper visor Morrison far inducing iuni to register. Un the hearing before United States Commissioner Bellows last Saturday afternoon, Mr. Morrison was examined in his own behalf, and testified that he had supposed the law against ex convicts vot ing applied to those wlio Had neen connncci in a State Prison, and not to those who had done imo in a penitentiary. Ho saw Mr. llouus about the matter, hut that gentleman could noi a definite opinion, and so the matter ran along.

Ho bad no intention ot violating too law, and as iie knew Drake had voted a great many years, he supposed he was entitled to a vote, out told him to be careful about swearing in his vote. The hearing was adjourned until Friday. THE ALDERMEN. Electric Light Ordered for Henry and Clinton Streets. The Board of Aldermen met at 2 this afternoon.

BKiss Sliirray ets Sl00 and (he Iia monds 'iTho Price Which a Wealthy Bridgeport Sivocer Pays for the ISctnrn of the betters Which He Wrote to a E5roolil5'it5irl. George Movford has got hack his love letters and Miss Murray her diamonds and some money and thus end tho suits brought by the young music teacher of this city against the wealthy grocer of Bridgeport. Tho units were brought, in September and were for breach of promise in which the young woman asked $50 000, a third of her ox lover's reputed fortuno and $3,000 for a diamond ring and ear pendants which, she alleged, he had by stratagem obtained from her after she had won them on the pledge of his love. Miss Murray was a resident of Bridgeport, where her family still live, until last August, when she came to this city and soon after engaged Lawyer M. A.

Kellogg, of IS Wall street, New York, to bring Biiit against Jforford. Miss Murray, who had been a music teacher in Bridgeport, led a very retired life after coming to Brooklyn, and though much was published about tho suit that promised if brought to trial to bu sonsa tional, Miss Murray was never seen by a reporter Mr Morfoitl is a widower and the son and heir of the late Mayor Morford, of Bridgeport. No one stands higher in the society of that busy Connecticut city than the young merchant, aud tho suit against him caused a lively stir of interest. It was said that tito young man had very good reason to break off his engagement and dark stories were whispered around that proved tho fact that Miss Murray had enemies in tlie town in which she had passed th3 larger part of her life. Mr.

Morford refused ever to discuss his late sweetheart's character. He said he had stated his reasons to her why the eng. gement should discontinue, and she had given him hack his valuablepresents. Joseph B. Iteilly, of 251 Broadway, New York, was Srr.

Morford 's lawyer. He said this morning that it was through his advice to Morford that the suits were nettled. Ho had told the young merchant that he could not fight the suits for less than $2,000, and though he had little doubt that they would result favorably to him, said that half that amount of money paid to Miss Murray would end tho matter. Mr. Iteilly added: "Mr.

Morford had always heen willing Miss Murray should have the diamonds. There is not a word of truth in tho story that he used stratcgom to get back his presents to the young woman. It is all over now, and we have no desire to reflect in any way on Miss Murray, but the matter lias been given so much publicity, apparently, from the compiainsot that I see no reason why the facts should not be known. Miss Murray, she had accepted Morford'u hand, was accustomed to often visit New York. What her reason for doing so was I do not know, but it occasioned some rumors that came to her lover, and though he did not believe them, he finally determined to know the truth.

He and a friend came to this city on the same train with Miss Murray one day. She had told him she was going to Brooklyn to visit her sister. At the Grand Central depot Mr. Morford saw her leave the train, but not in the direction of Brooklyn. When she returned to Bridgeport next day Mr.

Morford asked her about this incident, and she then took off her ring and gave it to him. That was in August. Soon after that she brought suit against the young man and we were ready to fight it, I do not think we have been treated fairly in the references to his letters and other matters which have been given to the press. Hero is a letter from Mr. Kellogg, her lawyer, dated November 20, in which ho says ho accepts with reluctance my proposition to settle the suits.

Ho had made an offer which we would not take up with and here he accepts my terms ami wo agreed that tho suit should discontinue. Then we regarded the matter as ended. After that Mr. Kellogg brings a second suit in this city in which he corrects tho faults in his former suit that we had pointed out to him." Miss Murray is residing with a rehtive 02 Cumberland street, a modest, white, wooden cottage. She.

is a tall, slender young woman, with dark hair and hazel eyes. She is 24 years old. Her manner is quiet and mature. She has a decided way of speaking She dresses modestly, but to day in her ears were two lovely diamond solitaires, and on her engagement linger another large diamond sparkled. These were presents from her lover for which she had risked the publicity of a trial in court.

Miss Murray began her conversation with the reporter by saying "So many sensational stories have been written about my trouble witli Mr. Morford that I wish for once to see the truth, of the matter in print. I merely want to correct what has been published and not to give an excuse for more sensationalism. First of all, I want to say very positively that it is with my consent that the stories in the morning papers have gone out. You are the first reporter I have talked with since this trouble began.

I was astonished and indig nant that the statements should have been pub lished about the diamonds, and I accused my I lawyer this morning of giving is to the press, but Mr. Kellogg denies that he did so. The statement that Mr. Morford obtained the presents by strategem is true, but I did not. intend, now that it is all over, to say anything about it." The following statement Miss Morford said was fact: Mr.

Morford told her that lie had heard reports about her, but he appeared not to benev. them. He proposed to have golden spheres fitted to tho earrings, and borrowed the engagement ring to use it in a dramatic scone which he was to 'arrange. He told her. she says, that he was to nave the gentleman who had made the charges against her to dinner the next day, and wanted her to be there She was to make her statement the presence of her accuser, and Mr.

Morford was to place the ring upon her finger, saying: "lhis is my answer." I supposed that this Sbrenmcni wa to be carried out until I received from Mr. Morford my letters and photographs of myself that I had had taken for him. He returned these without explanation. The fault docs not lie with Mr. Morford for tho breakiug of our engagement.

One of the men in his employ was very unfriendly to me, and ho is responsible. I once refused au introduction to him for goo reasons, and ho swore to get even with He Mr. Morford with stories about mo that finally had weight with him. Hs asserted that I was after Mr. Morford's money and that I did not lovo him.

I am exceedingly sorry that the settlement of this case should be the occasion of newspaper sensation, both on my account aud Mr. Morford's. He acted in a perfectly honorable way, except in the matter of tlie diamonds." About the love letters which Miw Murray tunied to Morford the young woman said that the characterization of them as exceedingly sentimental was unjust to Mr. Morford, who was a very sensible lover. His letters were only such as a sensible man wottld write to the woman he was going to marry.

Miss Mur.ay said it had been agreed between all parties in the discontinued suits not to say anything about the details of the but she averred that the proposition to settle came from the defense. Miss Murray said that she was no longer a music teacher, but is preparing to support herself by type writing. SHE MAY HAVE TO RETURN. Only IHoinIi in This Country Sweden but From AngiiBtus Whitman, of 301 South i irst street, applied to Judge Van Wyck of the City Court, this morning, to have her sister, Julia Olsen, 18 years of age, committed to tho Flat bush Insane Asylum. By questioning Mrs.

Whitman Judge Van Wyck xertained that she brought Julia from Sweden on tho steamer Ch cassia only a month ago. His Honor refused to commit tho girl to the insane asylum on the ground that she had been brought here for tlie purpose of imposing the burden of her care on this country, and has written to the Commissioner of Emigration ordering an investigation of the matter which will probably result in the girl's return to Sweden. GONE TO ALBANY. The irnion Ferry Case to be Argued in the Court of Appeals. Corporation Counsel Jonics and Assistant Corporation Counsel Greenwood went to Albany this afternoon for the purpose of appearing before tho Court of Appeals to morrow morning in a suit to which the.

city is a party. The action grew out of tho refusal of tho Union Ferry Company to pay tnxns on its land ill Brooklyn, which it rents from the City of New York. Brooklyn taxed the laud on the gronnd that it yielded a private revenue, and the New York authorities, claiming that it is used for public purposes in that it brings a revenue for rental to the City of New York, brought suit to have it declared exempt from taxation. In the courts below tho judgment in each instance was against tho City of Brooklyn. COULD NOT SEE CHRISTIAN.

WON THE WHIP. The First Sleigh ISittt of tlie Season. Some of tlie Havoc With Which I.aat Night's Storm is Credited A Vessel Dashed to Pieces on the JVew England Coast Many Liives ff.owt. All yesterday afternoon, while the little blizzavd hat came suddenly down on this part of the country was tearing around and malting, things moist and white, uncomfortable, a party of gentlemen sat in the bright barroom of George D. Bader 's Hotel, on the Coney Island road, at the corner of the Franklin avenue Boulevard.

There was George D. Bader himself and Henderson, undertaker, of Brooklyn, and Charles Hunt, keeper of the parade ground, and Erzinger, f)f rViiinv Tsland. and William Moore, of Flatlmsh, and two nnerals minus the corpses. The corpses had been put where they belonged in Greenwood and tho mourners, ladies and gentlemen, were Becking Mich solace as the hospitalities or the place afforded. If the governors of the Carolinashad been present on this occasion there would have been no occasion for their reiterating of the historic remanc which has forever linked them together the minds of thirsty souls.

It was not a long time between drinks. Yet there was an air of expectancy over tho whole party. Everybody walked to tho window at least once in ten minutes and looked out at tho fast accumulating drifts, and though Henderson and Boder and Moore and some of the mourners told their liveiiest stories, they were only half listened to. A wide diversity of opinion prevailed as to whether or not a sleigh would get through. If onecameitwonldbetho first of the season, and if it came through from Broooklyn it would be entitled to a gold headed whip, while a sleigh from either of the county towns would entitle the driver to a silver headed whip.

"Oh, there's plenty of snow," said Mr. Bader. You'll see a slei: here in the next thirty minutes." His companions their heads. They said the snow was drifting too hard and had not a good bottom, and that runners would cut through it and that no sieigh would come. At 4:30 o'clock there was a loud jingle of bells, and everybody jumped up shouting: There's a sleigh Glasses were dropped wherever they chose to fall, and tables and chairs were overturned as the company tumbled to the door in a mob to find out who the first comer was.

They were confronted by Bader's hostler shaking a string of sleigh bells. Ten desperate men chased him down the Boulevard with the desire of taking his life, but the cold discouraged them and they retreated to the comfortable bar again and demonstrated that indignation had made them thirsty. The hostler went on to the next road house and gave the folks waiting there a similar sell. Night came down and still no sleigh arrived, and it was not till o'clock that the company in Bader's was again aroused by This time it was not a sell. A sleigli was really making its way through the drifts fo the hotel.

Although the over a foyt deep in some pacBi' tlie runners couri be ta'eard grating on the gravel. The door was thrown open again and a broad etream of light was thrown out. of the warm room as a score of people crowded forward to find out who the adventurous spirit was. He proved to he William A. Collins, of tlie firm of C.

N. Moody of 187 Montague street. This is the third year in succession which he has been the first to reach Bader's on runners from Brooklyn. Collins is a son of Phil. Collins, who keeps tlie Fleetwood Btables, 113 15 Sterling place.

He was seated in a one man sleigh weighing only forty pounds, and was drawn by the celebrated road horse Grand Sec. He just stopped long enough at Bader's to give everybody a hail and to get tho bottle of wine and the whip which constituted the prizes. Then he drove right along to nun lay's, where he got a bottle of wine and a Tuincc pie, at 7:30 o'clock. At 7:10 o'clock he picked up another bottle of wine at Hiram Howe's and at 8:10 he reached C. A.

Bader's at Coney Island, where he took tlie bear robe which the proprietor had offered to the tir. sleigh from Brooklyn. Tlieii, in the words of a local poet who was present and upon whom the proceedings had made a great impressian IT drove home at half past nine With his sleigh cliuckfull of wine. Mr. Collins said to day that he hart found it pretty hard going.

Tho first sleighing of the season in Queens County was enjoyed by a Far Itockaway young gentleman whose best girl lives near Woods burgh. It not good weather for driving last night, but the young gentleman slyly led from the stable his father's best trotter and harnessed the animal to a new and costly cutter. Then he drove out to visit ilia Woodsburgh girl. The blizzard nearly killed tlie horse and its half frozen driver was easily induced by members of the young lady's family to remain in Woodsburgh as a matter of safety over night. 'This morning he was in a worse plight than before.

He had his stern father's trotter and cutter on his hands and five miles of thick mud stretching between him and home. The cutter will probably remain in the custody of tlie Woodsburgh girl's hospitaliln papa until after tho next snow flics. THE STOTl.M IN mtOOKIA'X. Fire Telegraph Superintendent Watson reported this morning that twenty five poles in different parts of the city had been blown down. A pole on Willoughby street, near Jay, was broken in three pieces, and falling across tho tracks interfered with the running of the Crosstown ears on Willoughby street.

The cars were run on Myrtle avenue, from Navy street to Fulton, and across to 'Court street. At about 8:30 o'clock last night the three, story frame structure, 1,100 Third avenue, in course of construction, was blown down by tho heavy gale. The builders are French Brothers, Fourth avenue and Forty seventh street, and the owner a Mr. Garrity, of New York. The.

extent ot Uie damages could not be ascertained. At about 10 o'clock a large plate glass window in the building Court street, occupied by the American and Pacific Tea Company, was blown out, causing a loss of over $200. When the snow came down yesterday there was rejoicing in the floating homes of some eighty canallers whose boats now lie in tho Atlantic Basin. The news had arrived that the Northern and Western canals were frozen over and 'that a number ol produce boats were frozen in. It ia said that more than sixty boats are icebound in the Northern Canal, near Whitehall.

There are fully seventy ilve produce boats in the Atlantic Basin at present, and while the trade in produce has not been very brisk the owners anticipate a good time. Potatoes have been sell ing at fidm SI. .10 to $'2 per barrel, and apples at from $1.50 to $'2. It is probable that prices will be higher if tlie present cold snap keeps the Northern and Western boats frozen in. ON LONO ISLAND.

The snow attained a depth of two inches on Long Island and the wind drifted it from the upland into depressed spots and railroad cuts, but no delay to travel resulted. The gale blow down telegraph poles on every side, and this morning electric communication was suspended. The tides were very high. At Sag Harbor the tide roue so high (hat the tracks of the Long Island ltaih'oad were washed out, and for safety the locomotives and cars were taken to Bridgehamp ton. There were high tides at Bockaway, but no damage was done.

At Grcenport and Port Jefferson small shipping was driven ashore and somewhat damaged. Vessels on tho Sound had to tako refuge in tho harbors. BAUD WEATIIF.lt IX SEW VOK1C CITY. Not since the blizzard last March was there such severe weather as prevailed in this city and vicinity last night. Few persons were seen on the streets nfter 0 o'clock.

Tlie storm seemed to increase about midnight. The wind was Mowing about thirty six mileB an hour. The blinding sleet affected the elevated railroad trains. Tho engineers kept up an almost continuous ringing of bells to warn tho preceding train. Tho condition of the tracks rendered it difficult to stop the trains quickly.

This morning, although tho wind was not so strong, tho eleot was BtiU falling and rendered walking very unpleasant. The cars on the surface railroads were running regularly to day although the tracks were slushy. After midnight last night the Third Avenue Railroad doubled up the horee power on their road and had tho sweepers go over tho track several times duriDg the night, The company, ono of the officers stated to day, was ready for this storm and had all arrangements mado for getting the sweepers out and also for doubling up the horses in tllft CATS.

Tho wind When He Secured the" Bride as a Partner Why the Police Appeared at a Wedding Feast How the Uuesls Conducted Themselves.

While wedding festivities were in progress last night in a dwelling on Kent avenue, near North Eighth street, two of the guests wanted to secure the hand of tho bride in a quadrille dance. William Grabinski, aged 22 years, claimed that the bride, a Mrs. Koblonskii, had promised to danco with him, but Charles Gobrieski caught the blushing lady by the arm and led her to the center of tho floor. Both youths had been paying attention in the early part of the evening to one of the young girls, whoso mother had difficulty in preventing a collisou between them. She only, however, succeeded in delaying hostilities.

Hor daughter. Miss Pauline, allowed a third youth to monopolize her attentions after 1 0 o'clock so as to keep Grabinski and Grobieski from coming to blows. The rivals probably realized tlie situation, but with each goblet of beer they imbibed their pugna ciousness increased and they seized upon every little incident to provoke a quarrel. If one waltzed with a girl the other would bo sure to secure her haiid for thu following dance. The women joked and talked over the affair, which provoked not a little laughter, and Pauline was also an interested onlooker.

The men began to take sides with the rivals and retired in little knots of four and five to an adjoining room, whero a keg of beer was on tap. At 11 o'clock when Grobieski led the bride out for a dance and the musician began to play a consertina, the courlo were chitting pleasantly. Grobieski reminded Mrs. Hoblinski that it was entirely customary in this country for the bride to hu kissed by her partner in the dance. The bride laughed heartily, and her partner put his hand around her waist and w.h about kissing her when Grobieski pushed him rudely away and told him in his native tongue not to be.

too free. In a moment the men struck out for each oilier, aud the bride was taken by her husband, who had been an amused spectator of the wholo sccue.to an adjoining room. Several of the young men joined in the melee while the older ones, assisted by the women, turned to make peace. During the row Frank and John Walinski. boarders in the house, struck John Strabcr, a champion of one of the rivals, on the head, badly cutting him.

The two lirothers were by Officer Almvick and Special Oftieee Folliart, and were locked up in the Badford avenue station. After the arrest tne interrupted wedding festivities were resumed, but the rivals prudently departed. Juitice Naeher this morning held the accused. t. PLAYING DETECTIVE.

Joseph Carroll, years old, of 207 Front street, a brother of John Carroll, who was shot by Brocky Smith on Election day, was arrested yesterday afternoon on a charge of intoxication aud also for carrying a pistol without a permit. He was fined $2 by Judgo Walsh to day. Carroll ever since his brother's murder has been unremitting in his efforts to trace Smith, who is still at large. He knows that a young man, named Sanford C.

Walbridgy, or 0(i York street, was one of the murderer's closest friends, and of late he has been following Walbridge around, hoping by watching his movements to get some tidings of the fugitive. Yesterday Walbridge, who bad grown tired of being shadowed, turned on Carroll and gavo him a piece of his mind. Carroll, who was drunk, drew a pistol and made threats, but before he did any harm he was arrested. Ho said at the station house that ho had taken the pistol from another of his brothers, who was not fit to be intrusted with a weapon. WILL SOT URAST THE DIVORCE.

SCOHE. Miles. Lrvps.l 01 nay 88 UN 0 ...85 Milos. K4 H2 H2 71 Laps 0 Moore Connor Howarth The pedestrians at Madison Square uaruen. New York, have been piling up miles to their scores since midnight.

At daybreak this morning hundreds of people occupied tho benches watching the progress of the hopeful walkers. The Marquis of Queensberry, together with Charley Mitchell, Jake Kilram and $10,000 Mike Kelly, who started the race, left at about 1 o'clock and from that time the croud began to thin out. The distinguished patron of the fistic arena has announced that he will be present every evening during the week. He was greatly pleased with the performance of Charley Smith, the young Englishman who arrived yesterday morning from the other side. "I wouldn't be the least surprised to see the little 'im carry off some of tho honors," remarked his Lordship.

Smith is the smallest man on the track and tho crowd gave him all the encouragement he could desire. A woman threw him a handful of silver from one of the boxes and an enthusiastic Britisher tossed him a note. Smith held the crisp token in his hand for several hours and then deposited it in his shoe. Littlewood retained his lead from the start, although Cart wright and llerty' kept close up. Cart wright began Albert's tactics by dogging Littlewood, but the latter by spurts gained a lap or two occasionally.

By midnight to night there will probably not be more than twenty four out of the thirty seven starters on the track and the race will then, it is thought, lie between Littlewood, Herty, Cart wright and Charley Smith. Golden, Hart and Moore look like stayers, however, and a great many people believe that it is anybody's race. About 4 o'clock a young tough smiled audibly at Campana. "Old Sport" had a bottle in his hand which he hurled at the fellow, at tho same time attempting to climb over the fence. His tormentor was put out of the building.

At 5:30 o'clock the band, which had ceased playing about 3 o'clock, struck up "St. Patrick's Day in the Morning," and the audience caught the inspiration and applauded. At 5: t0 o'clock Parson Tilly announced his withdrawal from the race. He had covered ten miles and one lap. Meyers and Giltza, the former with twenty four miles and the latter with twenty six miles and two laps, also left tho track for good.

At 7 :30 Campana created something of a sensation by running a couple of laps at an extraordinary gait. Moore completed his fiftieth mile at The score at 8 o'clock was: Miles.

Afire which destroyed two hotels ai: a cottage, at a loss of $50,000, broke out at 4 o'clock this morning, completing its work in an hour. Tho firemen were promptly on hand, but failed to get the force of water they needed as promptly as they thought they should.

The fire broke (Hit in Alexander Reed's Boulevard House, on Ocean Parkway near Brighton place. It had uoMeft there, when tho firemen were on hand. While they were waiting for the force of water, it leaped to tho hotel kept by Mrs. Madigan and from there to a cottage adjoining, occupied as a barber shop by Casper Schneider.

Richard's house and while waiting for his ship to come in he exercises frequently, but not regularly, by handling the ribbons of a pair, of high steppers attached to a Fiatbush avenue car, thus earning enough to pay his board. Mr. William O'Keeffe, whose name, sligh tly misspelled, appears at the foot of the noto, is also a tar driver, and so is Mr. Arthur Gallagher. but Mr.

O'Keeffe says he didn't write the letter. Miss Rebecca Newell, who boards in Mr. Richard's house, would ha happy at any time to oblige her friend, Miss Ballard, by becoming her bridesmaid, but she has not yet been asked, and she does not think that Mr. Stubbs, whose friends at the car stables call "Stubbsie," is going to be tho happy man Mr. Richards says his niece is not engaged to bo married.

I'm pretty sure," he said, the letter was written by my daughters. One of them is married and lives in Brooklyn and the other one lives with her. They don't get along well with and they're always playing some kind ot pranks. I know they were up to boiiui kind of mischief, for they've been passing the house here lately and giggling." Mr. Richards keeps a respc.Lalile and prosper ous boarding house much patronized by railroad employes.

The Queen Anne cottages on Luieolu road are among tho most, aristocratic houses in Fiatbush. Railroad men say that Mr. John Stubbs will have to stick to tlie platform much moro steadily than he does to be able to earn enough to purchase one of them. THE REPORTERS' NOTE BOOK.

A MUCH NEEDED WORK. City Authorities to Have a Bill for Sewering the Twenty sixth Ward. Jt was giveji out at the Municipal Building today that a bill would be introduced at tho approaching session of the Legislature for the sewering of the Twenty sixth Ward. A bill was passed last Winter, but tlie Governor vetoed it because of various defects. It did not umanato from the city authorities.

This time the city will send up a bill, aud it should be made a law as soon as practicable, for there is nothing which the new ward requires more than a sewerage system. At present it has no sewevs, although here and there are surface drains. The work of paving the streets with granite blocks ij been progressing with moro or less rr.pidity, but these pavements will have to be disturbed when tho construction of sewers shall be begun. Aside from all considerations of health and convenience, the sewering should be finished before any more paving is done. A proper sewer system will be verv costly.

It will tako at least $1,000,000. Because of tho dead level of the locality the work will bo moro difficult than usual. The expense will havo to bo assessed on the benefited, but it can bo spread over a long term of years, so that it will not bear so heavily upon the owners. mrs. hannah Smith's estate.

The firemen and many citizens were on the streets as the guests emerged and they generously threw their overcoats about the lightly clad and frightened inmates of the hotel and hurried thorn across the L'troet to tlie depot. There was no necessity for the excitement and alarm. The kicolun is in brick extension and the firemen, who promptly responded, easily confined the blaze to the extension. The lire was caused by a defective Hue.

Tho loss will not exceed H.OUO. The guests and help who left tho building were thoroughly chilled, aud a physician who was stopping at tho hotel prescribed for them to ward off evil effects of their exposure. Among tho eighty one guests were the members of the Siberia Company, which plays this week at the Jersey City Academy of Music. The first of the alarmed guests to appear on tho street was tho leading lady of the company. BANT THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.

ENFORCED. Bridge Trainmen Petition Superintendent Martiu for a New Time Table. Britlgo President Howell positively refused to say anything this morning about the reported discontent among the bridge trainmen who have sent a petition to Superintendent Martin and to the trustees asking for the enforcement of the eight hour law in their case, as well as for tho policemen and other employes. The trainmen, it appears, with the exception of half a dozen who are on duty on tho locomotivo trains in tho early hours, work ten liotus a day, tho only division of tho time, according to Superintendent Martin, that can equitably bo mado since the cable runs twenty hours out of the twenty four. Tho men are paid 25 cents an hour.

ar.d. as a rule, arc anx ious to work over time. Mr. Howell declared that he had not seen the petition in question and that it had not heen presented to tho Board of Trustees. Superintendent Martin maintains that any reduction in the working time will mean a loss to Hie men nnd i eater exnense to tho bruin Thnsn who now work over time do bo voluntarily and are eager for the chance.

The trainmen, it is said, will take measures to have the eight hour law enforced in their case. JOHN SEAMAN CAPTURED.
