MAVERICK AND MCDERttOTT. The Coinpliiuontsi Which Are Now Poena inn Bctivcon two Prominent Third Ward Uopttblican Politicians nicUcrraolt's Reply to irir. Maverick' Strictures An Iron Clad Oath. Buookm'M, March la, 1880. To the lidltor (fta Brooklyn M9U When Lo Brun heard 0 the death of Lo Sueur, ho said that he folt as if a thorn had been taken out of his foot.

Whon I road the card of Mr. Augustus Movorick, published in last night's Eaqle, I felt, as I still feel, that he will bo sorry for It when ho gets sober. Now my doar Eagle, I am dooidodiy of th opinion that the man iu publio Ufa who considors It necessary to dofeud himself In type, should own a newspaper. It is a profound truth that humanity has no time to waste in attending to Individuals who aro nothing olso than individuals. But it would appear that your correspondent now, am mora than a more Individual, and hence I am graoiouo ly permitted to allow, without wearing a Bhteld, tha arrows of ouvy, jeolousy and malice to be fired at my solf and my political frlende and associates, I confess I am willing to dlo of tan for the mero sake of having a first funeral and a very Bhort sermon.

Mr. Maverick aud myself have been long and intimate friends. We both served the one master at tho some time and oxohaugod chop stlcka. Indeed, upon one occasion Mr. Maverick swore in tn County Court that while James MoDormott was not an angel, ho woe the.

very next thing to it, and (may God forgivo mo for it) a short time afterward, in the City Court, I swore equally hard for Brother Maveriok, Some three years slnco Mr. Maverick waB oarrlod homo on tho shoulders of a number of brother Journalists. HiBpockota wero filled with empty, scraggy tomato cane, dog cleaned bones and numerous other unpawnabls articles. I wob at that time the honored official representative of Mr. Maveriok in Ireland I should rather say for ho sound of tho thing In Europe When Mr.

Maverlok'e neadacho wore off ho waB shown a cablegram by a waggish friend whcroln it was made manifost that I put up fhn job on him, from the othorsldo of the Atlantic, Mr. Maverick is wrong in keeping that In hla mind against me. I was innocent of that. But to bo Berlous Maverick know when no wrote his note to the Eaqxe that I had instituted a suit for slander against Mr. Richard Oliver, and he knew equally well that I know enough not to suo the devil and hold tho court in hell.

When any equally quoted commercial person as Mr. Oliver leaves himself liable In tht oyo of the low ho shall hear from my attorney. I do not care to rotor further to tho Bryan matter more than to inclose an ironolad oath Bofore me personally appeared this 12th day of March, 1880, James MoDermott, who, upon being duly sworn did doolare as follows He has read the denial on tho part of Wm. H. Bryan, as published In the Eagle of yesterday, that deponent haB good reoaon for believing that said Bryan nevor wrote Buoh denial.

Doponent also solemnly swears that the letter addressed to deponent by Wm. Bryau, and published tu the Eagle, was written by tho Bald Bryau In the presence of depohent and other gontlemen. And further, that tho original of Bald letter is now in deponent's possession, and that It was given voluntarily and In good faith, and without any compensotlon whatover. James MoDebmott."

Miss Cane, who uutll quite recently lias boon emptoyod as cook In the family of ox Senator James F. Piorco, is now an inmate of the FlatbuBh In sauo Asylum. Sho vrus not present during tho proceedings, which occupied little mora than half an hour. Neither friends nor counsel represented her In court. No commission sat in the case, but Mr.

Georgo P. Sheldon, a law partner of Mr. Pierce, questioned the witnesses and kopt the record. Mr. Piorco'a family physicir.n, in his testimony, said that ho had been called iu to attond Margaret Cane and sho had denounced poraona who had nover done hor an Injury.

Iter condition was described as raving, and the physloian prescribed for her quioting medicine. When the doctor was sent for a Eecoud time the woman was walking up and down ou the sidewalk in front of Mr. Piorce's house. He believed her sickness was bucu that she might or might not recover from, it and he recommended hor removal to tho Flatbush Asylum as the wisest tiling that could bo dono under tho circumstances. He had slnco understood that his advice was followod out.

The woman appeared to be suffering from dlsoaoo, Ex Senator Ploroo, In his testimony, said that Margaret Cans bad been In his employ slnco Soptember Inst she often complained to Mrs. Pierce that sho foared herfeliow eorvauts would do hor bodily harm; sho said she was kept in oonstant dread of them. Mr. Pierce questioned the servants about the matter, and found that tho woman's fears were without foundation until rocontly the woman had been quiet and resorvod, but it was now utterly imposslblo to pacify hor. Mr.

Pierce eald the only person in the house who had any influence over her was bis little daughter. It was thought boat to have her removed to Flatbush Asylum, She had about r)00 In tho Brooklyn Dime Savings Bank, and those proceedings wore to witness appointed tho woman's guardian, to eee that her eavingB wore not wastod. Ono of the jurymen inquired if it was not necessary that the person said to ho insane should bo present, so that the jury oould satisfy themselves aa to hor condition. Ho was luformed that tho oGtclals at Flatbush thought it would not be safo to bring tho woman before the jury, nnless it was absolutely necessary to do 80. Another juror expressed snrprlso that none of tho physicians from tho asylum were 'present to testify to tho woman's condition.

No anawet waB made to the inquiry, but Mr. Pierce Bald be was doing this for charity, and hoped the jury would remit their usual fees. Tho Jnry did not retire, but immediately returned a verdict that the woman was iunano. Several of the Jurors refused to sign tho verdfot until they were paid thoir fees, but they wero Anally prevailed upon todo so. Margaret Cano is about 40 years of age.

She was formerly employed In tho family of Mr. Sheldon as cook. Up to a lato hour this afternoon tho papers In the case had not been filed in the County Clerk's ofUco. MallcioiiH Prosecution. Fuchs brought suit in the City Couvt to day, before Judge Nollson, agsinet Paulino and Gustavo A.

Ofdoer Noonan, who arrested the prisoner, testified that lie found tho dross In a Myrtle ovonuo pawnshop, where It had been placed thret days ago by Bardon. According to his own statement Bardon has boon acquainted with Miss Molvillo for about seven months, having made her acquaintance in Washington Pork, hut Summer. Ho regarded tho young lady as A VERY DEAR FRIEND, and would no more rob her than ho would hang him self. Ho was unable to account for tho fact that sus picion was fastened upon him.

Bardon thought himself injured by Miss Melville, and took this peculiar way of getting squaro. 'ino prisoner was placed undor bonds in tho sum of $300, pending further examination.

EXPLAINED. Two Mysterious Occurrences Which had Puzzled the Police. A Hissing Man Found Drowned Watch man Bichdaie's Story Corroborated. The Fate of Arnold Winkolbach Was it a Case of Suicide The discovery of a drowned body at 11:80, to day, at tho foot of Sixth street, Gowanus Canal, has partially cleared np tho mysterious occurrences which have ocoupled the attention of the police of tho Eighth Precinct, for a few days past. One was tho story told by Watchman ltlohdale, to tbo effect that at about two o'clock on Tuesday morning, while at his post at the toot of Sixth street, his attention was suddenly directed to tho yacht Flour de which was lying on tho other side of the canal, about fifty or sixty feet from wbero he was standing, by the loud and and angry barking of a dog, which was on bosrd the yacht.

While hie eyes were turned in that dlaectlon, he saw a man fall overboard, and distinctly heard tha splash In the water, followed by a piercing ory for help. The watch man hurried to tho elds of tho canal for tha purpose of rendoring some assistance, but before he could sooure a email boat, to row over to tha spot where he saw tho man, all was silent and THE STaUQGLB OF THE DROWNING MAN had ceased, The watchman waited anxiously for delight, and closely looked along tho surface of the canal, without discovering anything which would throw any light on the mysterious Incident of which ho was the sola eye witness, so far as ho knew. At elx o'olook, when he wont from dnty, ho called at tha Fifth avenue Police Station, and reported the occurrence to Acting Captain Lloyd, who proceeded to make a careful investigation. When the watohman was asked why he had not gone on board the yaoht to ascertain what was the matter, ha said It was bis purpose at first to do so, but that ho was afraid to faoe single handed the SBvage dog on board of her. He was positivo that ho could not have boon the victim of an optical Illusion, and was just as cortain that a man had perished, as he was of his own existence.

Captain Lloyd by the direction of Superintendent Campbell, made a carcrul Bcarch for the body around the spot whore the yacht lay, but it was not until this forenoon that it was discovered. At the hour mentioned, ono of the men, who was ongaged dragging, brought the body.of an old man to the surface, almost dlreotly at the Bpot pointed out by tho watchman, Tho body was taken to tho dock where it was soon afterward Identified as THAT OF ARNOLD WTNKELBACH, whose mysterious disappearance from his residonce, corner Twenty first street and Fifth avenue, was reported in tht Eaqle yesterday. As Winkelbach disappeared on the same night as the watohman witnessed the above incident, thera can bo no doubt that ho was Identical with the man who had fallen overboard from the yacht. How ho got to the yacht, or what his businoss could beon, remains unexplained. A watchman wis also on board the yacht on Monday night, and remalnod asleep in the cabin from 11 P.

M. to 7 o'clock next morning. He was not awakened by tho barking of the dog, and heard no noise of any kind during the night. Thore are somo singular colncldonts connected with tho disappearance of Winkelbaoh, which will be likely to receive careful Investigation at tho hands of tha police authorities and the coroner. His wife died about six weeks ago, leaving a fortune of, ostlmated at nearly $2,000, In money and real estate, which sho derived from her first husband, whose name was Frank Gear, and who has boon dead for nearly twonty years.

Winkolbach was 0 Ullor by occupation, but it is said that for several he JiyeS thriftless life, depending entirely on htavvlftttr support. 'They had no children, and with the exptfition of $9 a week, which she willed to her husband during his life, she left all her other property to hor nephews and neices, said to be over a dozen In number. It is said that Mrs. Winkelbach considered that her husband, by reason of bis fondness for liquor, was unable to take care of himself, and la her will she constituted Josoph Wolterlng as his guardian. Howevor this may be, she out him off with the abovt small stipend.

Among tho relatives of Win kelbtck is Mr. Georgo Casper, of No. 221 Twenty first street, whose name was mistakenly introduced into tho report of tho matter which appeared In the Eaole. Mr. Casper is not a liquor dealer, but tha proprietor of tho granite and marble raouumental works at Nos.

210 and 212 Twenty fifth street. He has resided In this city for ovor twenty fivt years, and his good name and reputation have never been called in question. Hla wlfo was MRS. WINKELBACH'S FAVORITE NIECE, and during the lifetime of her first husband lived 3.1 the adopted daughter in the family. Mr, Casper never indulged Winkelbach In his passion tor drink, but on the oontrary always endeavorod to discourage it.

It scorns that on Monday evening about o'clock doceased called at Mr. Casper's house for tho purpose of requesting a young man who lives there to go out with him. As he was apparently under tha influence of liquor and in a drinking mood, Mr. Casper aid not give him any encouragement to remain in the house, nor did the young man In tho house go out with him. Mr.

Casper says that ha heard that Winkelbach started off with three young men and visited a number of liquor stores in tho neighborhood. About midnight he oalled again at Mr. Casper'B house and knookod for admission. Mr. Caspar got up, looked out of tho vrtndow and told him to go home, that it was no hour for him to be disturbing tho family.

Winkelbach then atartod off toward Fifth avenue, in the direction of, his homo, and eo far as known this was THE LAST TIME HE WAS SEEN ALIVE, Whether he went to his house or not has not been ascertained. On the following morning hie nigutkey was found on the sidewalk in front of the door and hiB dog was locked out. During the noxt two hours he must have wanderod to. the foot of Sixth Btroet and in somo way got aboard the yacht, whloh ho could reach, it is said, from tho dook on the otner side of the canal from whoro tho watohman was standing. When Winkolbach disappeared bo had a gold watch and ohain, valued at $100, in his posseBBlon, and as theso were found on bis body to day and aB thoro were no marks of violence, tho police entertain tho theory that ho either committed suicide or in a bewildered state of mind wandered to the oanal and accidentally fell Into the water.

It seems that thero has been considerable squabbling betweon Mrs, Winkel bach's heirs ovor the property whloh sho left and that an offort will be made to break tho will. So blttor Is the feeling between them that thore was an angry dispute as to which of them had the beBt right to look after the dooeased's effootB when he disappeared. Ponding some deeision by the courts, the police will take charge of whatever property he has left behind him, Mr, Casper is determined to see that exact justice Is dono and that his wife's interests are not overlooked. Dr. Henry C.

Slrnms, the Coroner, waa notified of tho case and will hold tho inquest to morrow. The polioe havo information which tends to show that the drowned man may have been induced to accompany one or more persons to the spot whore ho lost his life, frequont whistles having been heard by the watchman after the splash in tho water. BROOKLIfflTE IS TROUBLE IS NEW YORK. Wilbur B. Harrison, aged 40 years, of this city, was brought before Justice Eilbreth to day, at tho Tombs Police Court, New York: on complaint of Edward J.

Woetall, of No. 251 Broadway, who charges blm with having, while acting In the oapacity of canvasser to tho Xew Jersey Agriculturist, of which complainant is manager, on March fraudulently obtained the sum of $50 by way of commission on a contraot, which ho falsely represented ho had obtained from the Merchants' Insurance Company, of Nowark, N. and which has a branoh offlco at No. 83 Liberty street, New York, for advertising, etc On inquiry It W0B ascertained that the signature to tho same waa a forgery. It is stated that be presented two or threo more contracts of a similar charaoter last evening, with' intent to defraud.

The Justice committed him for trial in default of $1,000 ball. OFFICER DREELAND. Was He Interfered With on tho Occasion of the Aawault on Officer Stone The Charge Against Rllle Rodden Dismissed. Justice Ferry yesterday afternoon held an Investigation in the case of Miles Roddan, who was arrested on a charge of having Interfered with Officor Drooland on tho occasion of the murderous assault on Officer Stone by the Smoky H0U0W ruffians, on the 29th ult. Officor Dreeland made tho some statement touching his action in tht matter whloh has been already published In the Eaole, and Inculpated Rodden as one of the parties who had held him back while lie was attempting to go to tho assistance of his fellow officer.

He failed to bring forward any witnesses to. substantiate his statement in this rospect, and Rodden Bwore that he never touohed tho officer and was on the outskirts of the crowd whon the trouble was in progress. Two witnesses testified to the same effect, and JubUco Ferry found that tho charge was not sustained and dismissed tho complaint. The trial of Officer Dreeland, for cowardice, will take place beforo the Police Commissioners to morrow. THE LATEST 8TEAM KOAD VICTIM.

Christopher Cowbray, the engineer of the train on the Broadway road which struck the farm wagon In whioh wero riding Joseph Vanderoslor, his wlfo and brother in law, Petor Baker, near East Now York, on Tuesday ovoning last; was arrested yesterday and held to await tho rosult ot the woman's Injuries, In JSOO bondB, by Justice Spohceir.

The Bill to Establish United States Courts In the Indian Territory. Spocial Correspondence of the Eagle. Washington, D.

Moroh 11. About one week ago the Senate Committee on Territories unanimously reported a bill to establish an United States Court in tho Indian Territory. It is known as tho Vest bill, and was a substitute agreed on in committee, af tor cartful deliberation, to the original proposition to create 8 Territory out of tho Indian country. Before acting on this bill, the Senate com mlttoo gavo a full hoaring to representatives from the Indian tribes, of them able men, but laoklng the great requisite of common sense. For lnstanoe, they denied that Congress had any authority to eatobHsh oithor a oivil or criminal court, and wore foroed to recede from that position when confronted with the terms of tho treaty.

As a plain mottor of fact, thoy want no legislation at all, because thoy foar that any act of Congress, howevor fair under tht treaty, both to them and the whlta man, moans inevitable destruction. Defeated beforo tho committee, theso delegates next tried to havo the subject referred to tho Judiciary Commltteo. Tbelr first attack was made upon Mr. Carpenter, but tho moment he understood tho status of tho case, ha declined to interfere. They next approached Judgo Thurman, and hiB motion to refer tho queetson to the Judiciary was called up to day in tho Senate.

It provokod an angry discussion. Senators Edmunds and Conkllng took tho oxtremo ground that the bill favored railroad Interests and in establishing a federal court came more properly within the rongo of the Judiciary Committee. Senator Garland, who is Chairman of Territories and also a member of tbo Judiolary Committee, and ono of tho ablest lawyers in tho Sonato, insisted on hla rights. Tha bill in question was matured after proper reference by noma of tho finest legal minds in the Senate, and if it does not happon to meet the views of puro minded gentlo niou liko Edmunds and Conkllng, they can oppose It, whether reported from ono committee or other. As the bill Itself was introduced and reforred in ODon uenate, tne discourtesy now attempted, should it suo ceod, may lead to unfortunate results.

By this it is learned that tho commltteo will be overwhelmingly sustained to morrow. Cope, The Duchess of Edinburgh. Lonoon, March 11. A dispatch from St. rotoi ihurg to Router's Tologram Company sayB that the Edinburgh will remain iu that city for tho present.

The Proposed Sale of Property at Coney Island. President Stranahan's Scheme to Dispose of Lauds North of the Concourse Giving his Views to a Committee of the Board of Supervisors What the Town of Gravesend Objects to How the Proceeds of the Sale aro to be Disposed of. A meeting of the special committee appointed by tho temporary President of tho Board of Suporvisors to consider tho proposed sale of Concourse lands was held in tha committee room this morning, Sup, Egolf presiding and Sups. Moran, Van Siclen, Walkor and O. C.

Bennett being in attendance. The Park Commissioners wero represented by President Strana hau and Englneor John Y. Culyer. The commltteo wero appointed upon the reoeipt of a communication from the Commissioners entering iu full "into all tho details of the proposed tale, and already published in theso columns. Tho Chair read tie communication, which suggests the advisability of disposing of county property north of tho Concourso, the objeot being to Induce improvements by nrlvato individuals and to secure funds, nart of which could bo devoted to the prosecution of public Improvements deemed to be desirable, and also to provide a maintenance fund for the care of such property as shall be kept for the use of the public.

Mr. Strannhan stated that an act looking to the salo had already been Introduced into the He had with him a copy which he would placo at the disposal of thv commutes. Mr. Culyer read the act referred to, Bup. Egolf Is it to bo an absolute sale 7 Mr.

Stranahan Wt reserve tho right to control obstructions in tho streets. Sup. Egolf Do you proposo to confine tho purchasers agalnBt any particular kind of improvements Mr. Stranahan No, sxoept as to nulsanues. Wo would like to sell two plots for large boarding house hotels.

I don't mean restaurants. 8un. Egolf You don't oiioso to prohibit tho erec tion of publio houses 7 Mr. btranahau No sir; If tho owner has tho foe of tbo property, he will generally make OOOD IMPROVEMENTS. Sup.

Egolf Wouldn't It make tho neighb irhood practically similar to tho balance of the Island? Mr. Strauuhan I don't know that wo sbould set our selvcB up particularly as reformors. The low of tha lana is sumcionc in mat curecnon, ana nesiao tnat 1 don't think tho county owns too little land to entirely control the character ef the vicinity. In my opinion, as the street to be constructed will be the only thorough fare, It will be devoted to storos principally. The res taurant ostaojisunients wm cluster nearer tne water.

It will be a good place for boarding houses, having a very fine view. Sup. Egolf Oh, I don't know. Tako Rookoway as an instance. There aro sott'ements considerably inland thero and they do a good businoss.

What would provent this placo from developing into a similar neighborhood 7 Mr. Stranahan We bad not thought of nlaclni? anv restrictions beyond nuisances that would bo injurious to the neighborhood. Bup. Egolf You would retain nothing but a certain supervision In the matter of nuisances, drainage, obstructions, etc. Mr.

Stranahan Nothing. 8up. Egolf The sale then is practically absolute 7 Mr. Stranahan Yes. Wo propose that soventy flvo per cent, of the proceeds of the sale shall be invested by the County Treasurer and the balance used by the Commleelonora in Improvements.

We would like to put down a sixteen Inch plus to get a good How of water. and also to do something in the direction of drainago. Wo propose to do this to satisfy purchasers that wo aro in oarnest about the matter. In tho latter part of tho roport of the Board tho commlttoe can find a complete account of our work at Coney Island, oop, Bionano 1 snail OBJECT TO THE SALE of land thore on the ground that it was taken not for Bpeoulatlve but for Park purposes. Mr.

Mtranauan you will nave another meeting 7 Sup. Egolf Yes. Mr. Stranahan Well, I will then refer to Sun. Mc Kane's point.

Sue McKano I would like to know how vou aet the right to sell the land. Mr. Stranahan From tho Legislature, and too power of the Loglslaturo 1b undoubted. Mr. MoKano objoctB to tho Bale, because tho property was not obtained for Bale, even though a portion ot it, it is not necessary to retain for publio Interests.

We find that a part of tho property is not needed, Brighton and West Brighton aro separated by a bleak epaee, and suoh a sale would connect the two points. Wo loam that Gravesend would like to have tho land back again. It would be very pleasant if tho Supervisor from Gravesend (McKane) could accomplish such a feat and for the town to have bucu an auaition to its aireaay largo property at the iBlond. But thia laud was taken in cnod faith and now belongs to the County of Kings. It will be borno iu mind that the County of Kings has advanced a half million dollars toward the construction of tho Boulevard and the regulating of the grounds at Coney Island.

It will also be borne in mind and disputed by none, I think, that that expenditure on the part of tbo County of Kings has rosulted in the increased value of property belonging to the Town of Gravesend from a nominal sum well nigh to millions. Wa think that the County of Kings has done enough for tho Town of Gravesend in these large expenditures and theso fortunate developments have mado Gravesend the richest town, anning town, I mean, in tho State. We trust that the Town of Gravesend will realize tuoso facts and feel quite oontunt with the county that has done thia groat worK. ana wnicn proposes to aerive tne smau oonent rowing out 01 tno saio or cms property. It is un a verv profitable Investment on the nart of tho county but tho countv has dono nothlns to forfeit its right to reaping a full bonefit of tho investment.

sup. isgoir now many sores am wo taso 7 Mr. Stranahan Seventy acres. Sup. Egolf What did wo pay for it Mr.

Stranahan Twonty three thousand dollars. Sup. McKane Tha talk of the benefits to Gravesend is absurd. Thoy have taken from the town all tho land, the possession of which would be A SOURCE OF BENEFIT. If the Commissioners want to act in orood faith and ffivn peoplo a chance to live wo would have no objection.

We want tho continuation of the Concourse opened by tho Town of Gravesend. I am in favor of improvements, but not in favor of improvements that we oan't use. Tho Concourse cannot be used bo vehloloB other than carriagee. I think I will have to give Mr. Stranahan a chance to arrest me by driving something else over it.

Mr. Stranahan That Is becauso it is a tarred pave ment, which would be injurod by heavy vehicles. Ab toJarroBts, Mr. Vandoveer adopted one lino of demarcation and the Commissioners another. He mado a remark to tho effect that he would fight his way through, and was a little on hiB muscle in his appreheuBiouB of dignity.

The result was that our officer succeeded and Mr. Crooko was arrested. Sup. McKane The day beforo yesterday I went there for the special purpose of getting ono of my men arrested so as to afford an opportunity of settling tho dispute as to the lino. I could then bavo testod tho matter with the Commissioners.

I hold that this Ib county property, and that they havo no authority to stop any survey or tho passage of any vehicle as long as no ordinance Is violated. I want to say simply that I object to the Bale of tide property and to the appropriation of the proceeds to ony purpose other than tne improvement of the Concourse lands at the Island and tho extension of Surf Bveuuo. I built Vandeveor'a Hotel three years ago, and tho Park surveyor was then paid for levoling tho ground and defining tho boundary lines. Lino stakes wero then put In, and thoy are there now, speak laa for themselves. Buildings ware erected according to those lines.

Bud. Egolf ii hen waa tho bill forwarded to Albany 7 Mr. Quevedo It was presented last Thursday. Sun. McKano I tulnu the Commissioners should have shown tho Board courtesy enough to have sent in the communication beforo sending tha bill to Albany.

Mr. Quevedo That was dono. It was given to Sup. Moron on tho day of the meeting of the Board previous to that at whioh it was presented. Sup.

Moran I am responsible for the course I took In not presenting it at that meeting. I waa not oon vorsant with tho subject matter of tho communication, and I wanted to know what I was presenting. I did not propoBO to take tho responsibility of submitting a document making propositions with tho merits of whioh was uniamiuar. Mr. Stranahan Well, there was certainly no intention, as yon can seo, to ignore the Board.

Wo do not want to proceed with any undue haste, ond wo especially desire that the Board of Supervisors and, If posBi bla, tha gentleman from Gravoeend shall concur In everything we do. Tho communication Is an outgrowth of tho sentiments expressed at the meeting of tho Commltteo on Equalization of Assessments last year, whon tho Supervisor fully coincided with tha CommisBlonora aa to tho advisability of such a salo, and nskod us to prepare such a communication, we want nothing nut to care for the interests of tho publio, and the Supervisors can bavo thingB vory much thoir own way so long aB pumio interests, as iar as wo are conoernea, aro sud Hill Republicans Excited Over Party Reorganization.

This aesoalatton, In point of membership the largest in the olty, has for some time proved refrac tory.

The leaders proposo to discipline It. Rumor has it that Senator Sohroeder is at the bottom of the disciplinary movement. The Senator resides in the ward. While shaping politics In the, city at largo he has sn unablo to control his neighbors. Ho has not personally oonlQ to the front in ward matters, ohoostng rather to work through his representatives, who comprise the bulk of what the "boys" delight in denominating the "silk stocking" element.

For four successive primaries the Schrooder men have Buffered defeat. They succeeded at the last primary by reason of the strong antl Grant sentiment In tho ward, in giving their opponents a dooidodiy close "rub." Finding that they wero in a minority, they appealedto the General Committee for a reorganization, alleging, in support of their appeal, that there were ovor 800 Democrats among the 2,300 members on the roll, and that FRAUD WAS THE CHIEF ELEMENT in tho primary elections. Tho antl Sohroeder faction, which, Blnce tho temporary abdication of the Hon, W. W. Goodrich, has boon led by Mr.

John Nlohollfl, President of tho Knickerbocker Life Insur ance Company, opposed the proposed re enrollment and at the same timo by a downright ref uBal to grant a fair and equitable revision, furnished their adversaries with a powerful argument In favor of reorganization. After a long fight the Genera! Committee, acting wider orders transmitted through. Mr. Daggott by both Senator Schrooder and General Jourdan, decreed that tho re enrollment take place. General Jourdan, who was in Albany when tho committee last mot, telegraphed to Mr.

Daggett to soe that tho resolution ofex Shoriff Campboll was adopted, and it was put through by a majority, after a faoble roslstanco from Alderman Roberta and others. Dr. Jas. Watt offered to appoint the members of tho Re onrollmont Committee from list of names to bo submitted by tho opposing faetions of tho ward, but the factional loaders refused to make suggestions and tho Chairman acoordingly exercised his discretion. He has appointed as membors of the commltteo Messrs.

C. C. of tho First Ward Francis A. Biggs, of tho Ninth Ward, and A. Perry, of the Sixth Ward.

The oommittoo is admittedly a fair one. It is satisfactory to both factions. Mr. Biggs is a strong Sohroeder man Mr. Perry Is opposed to tho Schroeder policy and Mr.

Syke is a conservative gentleman who is expected to eee fair play throughout. Last night the factions in the ward wero busy with preparations for tho re enroll ment, tho Schroedor men being determined to secure success, and tho antl Sohroeder or NicuoUs faction to maintain their ascsndenoy, SCHROEDER'S FBTJ2NDS IN COUNCIL. In response to Invitations a largo and influential cau cub of tbo Schroedor faction of the ward was held last ovoning In Gray's Hall, corner of Fulton Btroet and Clermont avenue. Dosplta the storm the "respectablo" element turned out in force. Among tbo gentlemen present were Mr.

Isador M. Bon, Senator Sehroedor's business partner Colonel William W. Stephenson, tho Hon. A. P.

Hlggine, Supervisor Walkor, ox Alderman R. M. Whiting and Abijah ffhitney, L. W. Manchester, Edwin F.

Page, William O. Vosburgh. Eben Mlllor, Professor Anderson, B. Summerfleld, Assessor Ray W. Potter, John Noldllnger, William O.

Wallace, Olar enco A.Barrow, James Coleman, Colonel George Anderson, Alonzo Crowder, Mr, McCatty, Abram H. DuMott, W. Wadsworth, John Sherry; E. T. Raid and others.

Colouol StophouBon oallod tho meeting to order and Mr. I. M. Bon was unanimously elocted chairman. Mr, Bon did not detain the meeting with any extended remarks, but opened tho proceedings in a buslnces like way.

After Mr. William C. Wallace had been appointed secretary, tho call for tho meeting was read. Among other things, tlio observation was mado in the call that it is deomod advisablo that tho friends of pure politics in the ward sbaU havo a conference, with a view to secure thoroughness of enrollment and to prevent tho onrollmont of Democrats," and also that "tho opportunity is presented for the Republicans of the Twentieth Ward to resume the oonduct of their own affairs; and wo feel sure that they will not neglect it," Mr, Whiting, who, since hie roturn from the Third Ward to the Twentieth, is as full of vim aud earnestness as ever, cogently explained the object of the meeting. He pointed out tho Importance of having tho re onrollmont properly conducted, in order that NONE BUT REPUBLICANS should be placed on the new roll book.

Ho urged tho gentlemen present to see to it that every Republican, if possible, in the ward waB brought out. Ho said thoy would need funds to proporly bring tho subject befora tbo Republicans of the ward, and ho felt confident thoy could got sixty men to give $5 apiece for tho purpose. He warned the Republicans to be on the alort and soe to It that none but true and tried Republicans wore admitted to the association. Assessor Pottor was of tha opinion that the Republicans of the ward should be fully alive to tho responsibilities imposed upon them. They would need careful organization and thorough and complete work.

He moved that a committee of three bo appointed to supervise tho re enrollment for the Republicans represented in that gathering. The motion was adopted and the Chair appointed Messrs. Potter, Stephenson and E. F. Page as such commltteo.

On motion of Colouol Stephonson, Messrs. Bon, Summerfleld, Whitney, Barrow and Wadsworth wero appointed a Flnanco Committee. Tho committee iinmo diatolj got to work and collootcd ovor $100, Mr. Bon called attention to tho foot that under the resolution of the Goneral Committee, not only could tho old mombors be enrolled, but also gentlemen whose nameB bad novor been on the roll of the association, lie thought thoy should all go around among their neighbors and see to it that they came out, Mr. E.

F. Pago thought THE MOST ADVISABLE PLAN of operations would be to district the ward iu blocks and appoint volunteers to call upon tho KopubllcanB to enroll thoir names. His suggestion was adopted, and over thirty of the gentlemen present gavo their names and addresses and volunteered to canvass the ward. Mr. Barrow asked If the proposed reorganization would do away with the present officers of tho association Tho Chair said no provision had bcon mado in regard to that eubjoct.

but if the matter were left to his Judgment, he would be compolled to decide that tha present ofQcors of tho ward association were ousted by the action of tbo General Committee. Colonel Stephenson said it was understood that the present officers were to remain during tho year. He Bald he was entirely satisfied to soe the organization in tho hands of tbo gentlemen on the other side, for tho year. He hoped there would bo no differences about the officers, and that they would remain. Mr.

Sherry said a grave responsibility rested on tho gentlemen present. A large and Influential element in tho association had maintained that the new re enroll mont should not taka place. They had opposed It conscientiously, and were entitled to some consideration. Ho moved that the oommittce of three confer with the commltteo representing the other side of tho house, to arrange for the Enrollment Committee's work, In ordor to facilitate the enrollment of mombers. The motion was adopted.

AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE. Colonel Stephenson tuon read tho following addreee to the people of the ward, which he proposed Bhould bo sent out in circular form To ffic 0 the Tnonlieth Ward: Gektlemen Tho Goneral Commlttoe of the Republican party of the County of ordered a new enrollment of tho Twentieth Ward Republican Association of the City of Brooklyn, your attention is directed to the importance of enrolling yourself, and Inducing euch of your friends and neighbors, residents of the ward, who are Republicans, to enroll as well, in order that we may havo an association composed entirely of Republicans, to tho end that In future nominations at tho primaries of the party in the ward shall bo controlled by Republicans and not by Democrats. Under our form of government tho primary is the fountain head or source of the polltloal power of partloB. Its object is tbo solcction by the people of tho most suitable candidates to be supported for the publlo offices In tho gift of the pooplo. How Immeasurably tho purpose of the primary has fallod in our midst Is well known to tho Republicans of the ward as to tho citizens genoraliy.

It Is only necessary to say that the roll of tho association of to day, comprising as it doeB the names of vory many persons long since non resldonts of the word, of deceased persons and of many Democrats, Is conducive of evil influences, and that those provail to an alarming extent; eo much bo that corrupt and practlceB exert a controlling influence. The abuses which attain to the greatest extent at our primaries are the voting by non residents, by persons of tho opposite political faith, repeating, or voting more than once; voting on names of other poople, and voting by minors. Aa undor our present system primaries aro conducted without tho slightest sld or protection from the law, and only hy common oonsent, and aa the primary Is the only agency whereby tho people have any volco in tho selection of candidates to be voted for at the general election, it is of the utmost Importance that it should bo conducted fairly, honestly and to tha intent that the will of the peoplo may havo oxpresslon. It Is tho sacred prlvllese as St Is the obvious duty of all good Republicans to bear thoir share of this responsibility, ana by their advico and active operation In tho assoeistlon help to prevent dtahonest practices, and keep the control of the association in good hands. We believe that a new enrollment of tho Republicans of tho ward will provont many of tho evils now complained of.

The opportunity is now given by the General Committee of the party to purify the roll book. We ask your hearty co operation in this matter. A commlttoe from the General Committee will sit at tho following times and places to porfect the new onrollmont, viz: (Times and places not yet fixed.) By tho rules of tbo Geuoral Committee and of tho ward association, no ono 1b permitted to vote at tho primaries unless he 1b duly enrolled. Do not fail to onroll yourself and bring ontyour Ropublloan friends. Dated Brooklyn, March 1880.

Tho address was unanimously adopted. Mr. Potter warned the gentlemen present against reoommonding Democrats or minors for enrollment. The meeting then adjourned subjoct to the call of the commtttee, Anti Schroeder Klen moving. At the rooms of the Lincoln Union Club, on Lafayette avenuo, last night a throng of antt Schroeder Republicans animatedly discussed tho proposed re onrollmont.

The gentlemen present developed a strong determination to bring out their forces as Boon aB tho re enrollment commences. Tho anti Sohroedor faction, while it is led by tho representatives of upper tendom, ombraceB most of tho working politicians of the ward and altogether is an Influential and active body of men, Mr. John A. Nlohols, the leader of the faction, and his associate, Alderman Roberts, are confident that they will retain their control of tho ward association. TOE ELEVATED BAIL WAY.

Tho Chatham Square Platform Form the Subject ot a Report to the Health Board. A report was presented to Sanitary Superintendent Dr. Janes, of New York, this morning by In Bpeotor Mnrtha, concerning tho condition of the new platform at the Chatham squaro station on the Elevated railroadB, whore transfers are made from the Third to tho Second avenue Rood, and vice verta. Tho Inspector had watched tho Junotlon at tho hours ot the day when great crowds throng tho platforms and bridges, and bos arrived at tho conoluBion that tho accommodations as devised by the englnoors are at those hours insufficient, and that consequent DANGER TO LIFE and limb exiBts. It was learned this formBtho subjoct of the report.

Tho document lteolf is carefully guarded by tlio Hoaltb officials. Dr. Janes, whilo admitting tho recolpt of tho roport, refused to give it for publication until it had boon submitted to the Board at its meeting noxt Tuesday, or to say wliethor tho investigation had boon mado by dlroctlon'of tho Board or 01 the sole responsibility ot the complaining inspector, Iicni lutcniay Ictr S'cleck Edltlou. MUNICIPAL. Tha Inside Facts of the Substituted One Head Bill.

A Measure Fixed up by Sclirooder and Jourdan Which Is Snld to Contemplate a Deal General Jourdan Says the Mayor Is to Kcceive Consideration Why the General Hesitated Before' Being Made Ono of the Appointing Powers, aud why he Thinks the Bill a Pair One What a Friend ot Mayor Howoll Thinks About It A Mockery, a Deluslou aud a Snare. Mr. Voiborth Fired Out of the German Committee. Tho inside facts of tho substituted One Head Commission bill, as It has oome to ba known, are bolnn gradually dovolopod. It was euM on good authority this iorniug, that tho bill was tho result of a recent conference at Albany bctweon Senator Schrooder and General Jourdnn, and that with possibly the oiceptlon of ex Sheriff Daggett and Sam McLean, the more prominent looal nep'ublicam ware iu fuvor of It.

That tUora was really an intention to give Mayor Howell consideration In tho appolutuiontj provided for in tha bill was teitiflod to by no loss an authority than GoucralJour dau himself, who is credited vj ith having so much to do with the preparation of tho measure. The opposition of Diggott and McLean la based on the ballot that Commissioner Worth Is to bo taken care of if tho bill Bhould pass, and in this rospect the ei 8herift' and Mr. McLoau aro not probably far out of tho way, It Is the general belief that it will bo understood that Mr. Worth must bavo a good placo bofore any legislation can be had, and that Schroeder, although preferring to leave the Commissioner out, has been compelled to accept the situation In order to secure single head commissions. A friend of the Senator said to day that Schrosder wae bound to have single heads any way, and that if the substituted bill did not suit, or some other equally reasonable measure could not bo agreed upon, ho should endeavor to have tho present hoads kept In office, and the associate 'Commissioners dropped out.

Tho Scnatorbeliovod that tho present bill ought to bo generally satisfactory it was as nou partisan a bill as could be expected under tho circumstances. OENEBAL JOTJIlDAN'a This morning an Eagle reporter called npon General Jourdan to ascortain his views. Tho General talked quite freely. It it to bo remembered that he Is to be one of tho appointing power in eeso tho Mayor and Controller cannot ngroo. Ho said "I am in favor of tho bill, as I think It in meant in pood faith to give tho Mayor consideration In the appointments.

I have all along refused to serve as a member of au appointing power of whioh tlis Mayor was to be one, uuless ho shall rccelvo tho same consideration in the selection of heads of departments that should bo accorded to other members of tho appointing power. I think il would be bad policy to ignore tho heed of tho city govornmont in the selection of such officials. If It is the policy of Republicans to ignore him, let thorn indicate it in tho bill by leaving him out entirely but if tuay put him in, by all moans lot him have a voico In the appointments." "3ome Republicans," said tho reporter, "aro In favor of ignoring the Mayor becaueo tho Democrats ignorod Mayor Schroedor." 'Yos, I know that. If my recollection sorves mo Bright, Controller Burroll and Auditor Searing appointed membere of the Board of Elootlons and Bridge Directors, wholly ignoring Mayor Schrooder which was immeasurably denounced by Republicans aa an outrage. I hold, however, that tho Republicans should not now commit a similar outrage on the preeont head of the city govornmont simply becauso he happens to bo a Democrat, and I shall not be a party to it." "Is it true," asked tho reporter, "that tho Governor is In favor of giving tho Mayor some consideration in the appointments THE GOVERNOR IN FAVOR OF THE MAYOR.

"I am disposed to think," replied tlio General without any hesitation, "that the Governor Is decidedly in favor of glvlug tho Mayor consideration that Is, the Governor In opposed to ignoring tho head of tho city government In tho selection of departmental olhcerd under this bill, ou the ground of tho large majority by which the Mayor was elected last Fall, It being assumed that he must havo polled thousands of Republican votes." "What la the object of giving the Mayor and Controller oach tho right to appoint ono half of the Board of Assessors that the Board may be non pavtlaan?" I 'or the roason that we believe it is best that the Bosrd should bo absolutely non partisan, and oa far removed from politics as legislation can make it." There have hesn cfforli heretofore to moke It nou partisan, have there not Yes, I beliova there were, in I8G8 but the Democrats, as usual, broke faith as soon as they got an opportunity, by appointing none but members of their own party to fill all vacancies, until tho Board became almost exclusively Democratic. I doalro, if possible, now, to prevent It from becoming a partisan Board, and under tbls bill it will bo non partisan," Can you tell me," purauod the reporter, who are the authors of this substituted bill 11 "It is goncrally agreed to by prominent Republicans of this city It le fully concuried In by them," "Is thero any understanding aa to who are to bo appointed commissioners in the event or tho passage of the bill "Nono that I knoiv of." 'What arc tho chances of the bill's becoming a lawp" "Good," was the QoncraPu laconio reply, and the interview terminated. MAYOR HOIVELIr, DAGGETT AND WOETH. Tho reporter snbEoqnontiy talked with a leading Republican, and gave him the substance of what General Jourdan had said. "General Jourdan," ho scid, "went as for ne he thought it proper to go, I suppono; but he did not tell you all.

In regard to his relucianco to being one of tho appointing power, he gavo you only what may be termed hia political reasons. Thero haa been ao much talk about him in connection with thut power, that he is convinced it would be a great mistake for him to be put in tho position of oxorcising it. Furthermore, ho has so many friends who are anxious to get tho good places, that he must noceBBarily make personal enemies In his appointments, and that is something ho does not want to do, much less at tho present time. How to constitute an appointing power has boon one of the main obstacles all along. Ammerman could not bo ono of tho appointing power, notwithstanding the talk of his silly followors.

To give tho power to tho Controller alono would bo too bold a proceeding, and to ignore the Mayor was something many of tho leaders did not caro to do. Bchroo der was on record in favor of giving the Mayor the Bole appointing power but of courso, the loaders were not In favor of that, and Schroeder's actions havo indicate! that he meant whon the Mayor's oQico was filled by a Republican. After the UHca conference It bo came more apparent than ever that somo understanding must bo oomo to as soon aB possible. Schroedor, Jourdan and Worth mot at Albany lost week, and it was decided to present the substituted bill. Governor Cornell told thorn that it would not do toeutlroly Ignore the Mayor, and hence the appointing power was constituted tho Mayor and Controller, the I'olico Commissioner to bo called in, In tho evont of the others being unable to agree.

Of course, many think that the Jloyor and Coutrollor will not agrco, ond that the authors of tho bill, knowing this, put in tho Police'Commfssioner. From what I know of this whole businoss, I am Battened Howell and Stoinniotz will have no difficulty In getting through their business alone. I don't eay that thorc baB been any understanding, or any deal agreed upon, but I think tho Mayor will bo convincod that wo mean to bo fair. I sco that ho yesterday donounced tho bill as a grossly partizan measure, Intended to moke him simply a figurehead. It ia evidont that tho Mayor misunderstands it.

At any rate, such intemperate language is not calculated to help him or his patty. They ouroly cannot expect that a Republican Legislature Is going to pass such legislation ae will give the Democrats all tho offices." "Of course Worth le to havo a placo under the bill 1" "Why, of course he Is. Ho le working for tho bill, and too heavy a man to bo set asldo merely because Daggett and Sam. MoLcan do not want hfm to hold office In Brooklyn. They aro tho only two Republicans of any weight who aro likely to oppose the bill.

I don't know, however, that Daggett will, because, you know, ho said ho should be in favor of anything that Schrooder wanted, and Schroeder is ono of the principal authors of thlB moesuro." "What Is thero in tho about tho bill as tho outcome of projectod deal between tho Republican and Democratic leaders 1" "Tho remarks of tho Mayor yesterday do not indicate anything like a do they No, sir tho Republi can loaders are to a considerable extent rising above mere partisan considerations, and aro desirous of doing somo sort of Justice to tho head of the city government, although ho Is a Democrat. If they treated the Democrats the Democrats would treat them, they would clean out all the offices and put none but Republicans In." ANOTHER VIEW OP TflE CAflE. A Republican official, a friend of Mr. Howell, who has just returned from Albany, said this afternoon that tho substituted bill was a mockery, a delusion aud a snare, as far as giving the Mayor any consideration was concorned, and that the party was Just as far from legislation as it was when the Russell bill was Introduced. He said that the only provision made for tho Mayor was In reference to four assessors, and to allowing him these appolutmouts there was already considerable opposition.

ThlB provision has been inserted in deferonce to Governor Cornell, Hho held that the Mayor should not bo entirely ignored, BoUroedar it Co. did not propose to gtvo htm any more, and would instruct their man, Stsinmotz, to cause deadlock until the Police CoraraiBaionor could be called in. If they were really in favor of giving the Mayor anything like a decunt consideration why did they not provide In the bill that he should have a third of the appointments Instead of that they aUowod him only four paltry assessorstdps. The reporter oskod tho official why he believed the Republicans wero as far from legislation as ever, if Schroeder, Jourdan St Co, wero in favor of the bill. He could not muko that point very clear, but said he bad his own roasons, from what he learned at Albany, tor thlnklug ho.

His nonor, Mayor HowolL adheres to the views to expressed yesterday, namely, that the bill meant that he should bo merely a Ilgnro head, Another Republican friend of tlio Mayor Bald that thoro was a "deal" contemplated In the bill, and that it bis Honor did not know It some of his friends did, and wero hard at work to bring It about. He did not include cx Roglstor McLaughlin, for he said ho (MoUutghHu) was opposed to deals, and had told him so last Summer. TUB PROPOSED NEW PUMPING ENGINE. Mr. Georgo W.

Worthlngton, whose bid last year to furnlbh a new riiimulna onttlne fur IlIdRtwood, was received by the Board of City Works, haa notified tlio Board that he wil! withdraw bin bid on tho 3Qth because of the large increase in the prices of labor and material, Tho onglue was to bo of the capacity of (1, 0011,000 Rations dally, and Mr. WorthluRton'a bid was 30,000 for engine, or with oil the connections. Ko money was appropriated, although tho work was or dered Vy the Common Council, OI course It was not done. FIRING OUT MR. VOLROBTH.
