The examinations besin st o'clock to-morrow Tnornlna. 1 he Brat committee of the Academla Hoard will sit la the library building and tba wound committee will sit in ibe academic build-Itir. Tbe question and answers era partly oral and partly In writing. Any vlnltor who takes umctent lnUTet In tbe matter to attend may do so; but very few care anything about It except- luir tbe admiring relative of the particular mod wno are caiie.

up to air taeir Knowledge. Tb attractions out or doors are far greater Yadtlng blstorio fortlflcstlons, monuments of lanea. Tbe magnuloeut park scenery and mountain landacajiee are ever new and varied in tba different effect of light and shadow; tbe long stretch of river, with sail and steam craft this lug swiftly up and down at all hours, presents a auene of constant charm and interest. Tbe mill- tary evolutions on tba Immense parade-ground In ths cool of the eyeaiug are quite another tblng. Everybody wants to see tbem.

So svrlsl duplsy is made at these examlna-tlotis. The teeaons and drills are ooodtivted in tbe same ortier obtains throughout the year, only while snr particular drill may be practiced daily for a moot at a time at a certain season of tba year, only one exhibition of it Is given be fore tne board of VMlors. The cadets are called tiuoo tu review a year's eouixj In mathematics, natural and experlinedtal philosophy, civil and auliUry engineering, chemistry, mineralogy and geology, ordnance and gunnery, modern lau- uaves, drawing, history, geography, ethics, na-loual and International law, practical military engineering, and tba KnglUb, 'rencb, and Suaoish languages. Htudles enough, are there jaotr Gracloua what prodigies of wlsdomtbese gray-ooatel young gentlemen would bo if they mastered them all. what, don't they Oh, dear t.

1 could not explain to you the system of marking and Dgaring these Hroteaeora have for SiHidn- an average. It Is very Intricate, but it ts aaid to bo very effective in securing close and careful study. 1 beard sn array officer attempting to make it dear to one of tba Hoard of VIs-i'ors ymterday afternoon, and tbs I eaterner. who has oom on bera to make atrial In'jutrk-s. looked very much perplexed.

Tba vrnvw filially summed It sll up In a lew words: "iir. be said, "these cadets are expected to be liberally proficient In all tbeir studies." Tbst's ooough," said tbe offiolal visitor, sinking back In bit chair with a sigh of relaxf. why duln't you say so before 1 be denotnnt cadet has bardly a looo-bol of eacnpe. rack class is divided into several section, mid every eettlon ba aa Instructor. When action la lulled up for examination and each student In It has made his recitation In turn, tba instructor I privileged to ask bim any questions may see When the instructor is through the professor of the particular study under consideration takes tbe studeut in hand and pets snvlurtber ii)ulrkrs which may oocurtoblm.

ben tba Hmfeaaor has dona be turns to every Fn ember of tbe committee and gives them tbe lOerty to ask a pussier, liut tbe cadet is not yet at the end of hi rope, if member of the Board of Visitor happens to be In tba room, be also wants to know a thing or two. mm told that Waal member of th board take a sort of malicious delight to hurling a poser at tba defooseies cadet when tt law eiaaaiuatiuu h) going on. bo between hciu all tbe young soldier Is apt to tell about all be dora know and sometimoa a great many things be doeaot know. It ts hardly expected taat tbe student will have a thorough knowledge tf either French or Hpanisb, though once in a while a young man with an aptitude for languages will master them both. The majority of Touug men who graduate bera can read a passage la I'rench or fuanish from a book or make a fair translation, but only a sw of tba more scholars acquire a surBrtent command of either to carry on aa intelligible conversation.

Jkur have tba cadets time to get tba thorough vmamand of pure P.ngliah and correct expression which students In tbe larger mlleges and unteer. raea strive for. When tbey are examined mathematics they Must, among multitudinous other things, ba prepared toeiplsia tba piinci-and practice of land and maritime surveys, and know sue use of all the Instrument used In uryeying and plotting. la drawing tbey must Jlr srteclmens of topographical surveys with tn and pencil, freehand drawing, landscape la 'lack and white, and constructive, mechanical, and architectural drawings In ink and colors; they must be proficient In fleld and bill- sketching, and tba use of a note-book in the said, la rueuiletry the student must htrt an understanding of electricity and electrical apparatus and tba nature and source of light and neat. In astronomy be must know something about tbe aula and Stella systems, eelevtial and terrestrial spnores, the use of astronomical Instrument and tartlea, and tba atetboda of calculating obeer-vatioo roe time, latitude, longitude, tba earth's magnetism, and tba asertdian.

As a general thing, about per rent, of the Fourth Class are found Ov be tent, la the Third Class the discharges are much less, and la tbe eeoood Clans they are not rcqucot, ro that baa It comes to tba butt ysar t'f the course tba young men are prea-r hur of retting their diplomas.

Ualea oo of tbe Hoard of Visitor floor hlta with a knotty question of 1 law this weak his class-ms tea expect htm to coma off, or fo of, triumphant. i It goes without saying that tba cadeta are taodes of discipline and good order. Tbe rules are Iroa-cssil. and tba penalty for tbe violation of then swift aad sure. Iimniaaai follow all serious offenses.

But what strikes tba observant but uninitiated Rummer pilgrim here as remark-note th absolute truthfulness required oo all occasion, and tba unlimited con Ddeooe placed in tbe word of a cadet. Kor instance: If some one from arose tba river should report to Commandant Hasbmu'-k that a certain cadet bad been over tber without leave, the Comma ndant first course I to question tbe cadrt. If be assert upon his honor thst ha wss not across tbe river at that particular time hi word hT not questioned, and tbe Informer Is ld that It mut be a case of mistaken blentlty. cadet's word ia alwsys taken without hesitation. If a fellow-cadet should hear of this and should know thst tba Informer was right and tbe cadet was telling a Its, be would at one notify tbe commandant and tbe young Annan las would be summarily recommended for dusmlasal.

Any cadet who knowiogly utters a falsehood to his superior officer -muss go. A few of the visitors were discussing this while watching tbe lad marching serosa the lawn to church on Sunday morning. That It pars to ba truthful at West Point) wa admitted, but a well-known politician, with aoma reputation a a rtump-aneaker and a clerer caucus manipulator, could not help wondering bow far thee early teaching will avail tbt army of young George Washtngtons In tbe turmoil, stru, loams, and deceits of a work-a-day world. SCALDED TO DEATH. tmouos or a boilik ox a steam DREDGE, i Tba dredging scow Norfolk, owned by Frank Pidgeon.

of No. 118 Wall-street, tba con tractor for tbe dredging to ba done at point on tba Harlem River where th Second-avenue elevated railroad bridge Is to cros, lay moored yesterday morning off Second-avenue, on the New-York side, waiting for an Inspector to direct where tba dreda-e should operated. On board were tba master, Patrick Gregg, James Feely, S3 year old, of Third-street, South Brooklyn; the engineer, Robert Stenson, a deck-band, and William Hudson, of Newburg, tbe cook. At about 7:30 o'clock Gregg went to tbe engine-room, saw that there were from 00 to 65 pound of steam up, and tested tba gauges. There was then, ba Bays, plenty of water In the boiler.

He went on deck and sat on tbe starboard side, keeping a lookout for tbe Inspector. A few minutes later tbcre was an explosion In the engine-room, followed by the roaring of escaping steam. Gregg and Stenson rusbed there, and found Feely lying terribly scalded and moaning on the boor, feteam was escaping from a rent at tbe boiler's bead, and Feely had inhaled so much of Ittbat bis lungs and throat were badly burned, and be oould not peak. He ws carried to the deck, whore ho died wrthia half an hour. When tbe boiler bum Hudson was In the cabin, and.

bearing tbe cries of Feely, be attempted to go to tba engine-room, but be was sere rely scalded and driven back by tbe steam. His agony wa so great thst be lowered himself over the side of the boat and cooled his scalds in the water of tbe river. He was taken to the Mnety-nlntb-Ptreet Hospital. Gregg, who baa but a uperflcial knowledge of engineering, could not understand why tbe boiler should burst. It wss built In tHl at Philadelphia by Keene Levy, and had been in use nine month tba first year, eight months tbs second, and since last March.

Acting sergeant Henry Wheeler, of tbe sanitary company or police, made an investigation. Tbe boiler, which was a horizontal tubular one, 14 feet long and 4W wide, bad never been tested by tbe sanitary police, wa never reported to them for test, and bad never been operated by a licensed engineer. Tba Iron appeared to be of poor quality. There was a vertical rent feet high and from inch to I inches wide at tba bead of tbe lioiler alona- the line of tbe flango. Tbe bead capped tba shell of tbe boiler and was riveted oa.

At tba edges of tbe rent tba metal was inch thick, and there were no bright fracture. Apiotrently no care had been taken of tbe boiler, and this resulted in corrosion. Sr. MARE'S HEW CHAPEL. MB.

Martin Daly, of Brooklyn, whom ba charged. at th Jefferson Market Police Court, with baring attempted to pick a lady's pocket in Madlaon-qnara. Mr. Daly was very Indignant at hi arrwt, and as proved beyond a doubt his respectability ut lee Gorman honorably acquitted him. Daly's discharge mortified Price, and on Sunday morning be visited Justice Gorman and Degan to lament hi Honor's want of discretion in discharging tbe prisoner.

The Juwtice informed Price that, as tbe case bad bean disposed of, be bad nothing further to say about it. Then tba detective said, "This is a nice scrape you're gotten ro into; tbe man I arrested is a thief." Yesterday morning price araln made hi ap- tu ltiui mira. in wuab toe juscica considered an insulting manner, once more broached tba subject of Daly's arraut. savin that he prove that Daly bad been arretted and convicted of aa offense. 'Justioa Gorman became Indignant and ordered Price to return to bis station-bouse, threatening blm with arrest snd committal If ba persisted In hi Insolent conduct.

"The man's manner, mora than his Bald ustice Gorman to a reporter, was very insulting, and when I aaw that he meant annoy me, I determined to put a stop to his com- ncniaoo mis esse, ine aiacnarga or Mr. Da'y Wa the only thine under tbe 1 could hav done, and you'll bear no more of w. rnn expostulations." IXDIQirjiA-T PRIXCETOX OARSuSx. Tba Spring regatta of tbe Harlem Re-giitta Association wU take place to-day. Tbe Princeton crew claim that they hav been badly treated by tba association.

Through tba care-Vraaosae of their Treasurer, tbeir entrance fee to tbe tour-oared shell race was not sent until Mar entries closing Mav U. They were told, however, tbat this would make no diiTerenne. On May StT. at the association's moating, the At-alantas protested against the Princeton's entry being accepted, and it was ruled out. Tba college men did not bear of thni until they bad begun practicing oa tbe Harlem.

Tbey assert thst after tbey have tone to all this expense, it would be very unfair to rule tbem out. Moreover, tbey say this cannot done, as tbeir entrance fee has not been returned to ibem. Tbey add tbat tbey will start to-day In tbe race, and tbat they expect to beat the sVtaianta who, they claim, are atraid orncERS or ths cottox exchange.

When tbe catcher learned of the Mayor's actions tbey promptly de clined tbe positions, but were Anally induced by tnenayora clerk.

Mr. Autiuta waien, to at least begiolwork at tbe pnoe which tbe Mayor oaereo. In determining whom be should select to fill tbe Important fcositiont connected with the capture and d.atoal of stray dog the Mayor wa materially assisted by a number'6f distinguished gentlemen, among them Sheriff Davidson, Senators nunkitt and iillen. Aaaemuymap riaargerty, and Aldersbeo McQuade. Dempsey.

and De Lacy, bo earnest pis ve these gentlemen been In their de-sir to assist tbe Msyor in bis arduous labor tbat they havei unwittingly, of course, made tba Mayor iir a purneo to mm and caused Mr. Walsh, who has bad this subject upon but mind. to fear tst be would lose his reason. Tbe ground taken by Senator Plunkitt wa that while the uosltion of doir-catcher miu-ht ha con. si tiered a pretty small matter for a Senator to worry himself about, yet he was obliged to protect his Senator Plunkltt's "man" was not arinointed.

but Senator Cullen's was. and so were the of tbe three Aldermen named. AU tbe appointments were made subject to tbe ap- pointee pa- ing me civu sen ice examination, gly. yesterday afternoon tbe newly' Accoruiai appointed Icitv officers aODearad before Civil carrioe Examiners Arthur- H. Dumlon.

He questioned Mr. McMahon to learn if tby ever sober, and after a course ofsproutsnecametQ tbe conclusion tbat their inteilectuta and moral sensibilities just about balanced each other. The dosr-catchera were in.

formed that any well-grounded complaint against them woald insure their immediate dismiieal from ofttcd, and they wero required to urnUh references of character. The pound will be opened with imposing ceremonies to-morrow. fsK HATCH RESUME MOSEY READY FOR THEIR CREDITORS 4WHEJJ THEY ru that Fisk Hatch had resumed business wax announced from the rostrum of the Stock Exchange about o'clock yesterday afternoon! The announcement had no perceptible effect in the stock market, but a large num ber of brokers hastened to tbe office of tbe firm to tender their congratulations. Both Mr. Fisk and Mr.

Hatch were very cheerful. They laid that they had no statement to make beyond the declaratioh that tber bad resumed, and that creditors tould get their money by calling for It. It was also stated that no extension of time had been obtained on any of tbe firm's obligations. Tbe opinion prevailed on the Street that the firm had been enabled to resume business partly by tbe friendly co-operation of tbeir principal creditors, laud partly through a larpe cash loan obtained from New-England capitalist. It wa also inferred tbat the firm had been abl to realize, without much sacrifice, on some of their eecuritte! Tbat tbey re-embarked ia business with a tolerably full cash-box was generally ac- Cpted as a fact.

When asked bow the firm's rations with the Newark Savings Institution had been adjusted Mr. Hatch replied: "Whenever the Newark Bank people come for their money tbey will let It." Some on Fink Hatch's old customers reopened accounts (with them during tbe afternoon. A circular apdressed To our customers and correspondent' was banded over the counter and distributed Ibrougb tbe mails. In it, after announcing their resumption, Fisk A Hatch say: Wa woufd express to our depositors our grateful approbation of the forbearance which they have shotn. and thank them for tba Implicit trust whih they bare The oblfcraUons of Fisk Hatch in the Stock F.xehanga having been settled up.

it is probable tbat Mr. A. 8. Hatch will be restored to full prlviietreaias a member within a few davs. It wa stated yesterday that Mr.

Hatch bad sold his schooner bacht "Resolute to Mr. D. Henry Smith. Mr. Donuell, of the suspended firm of Donne Lawson 4.1 Hlmpson.

aaid yesterday that about one-half dr tbe firm's correspondents had agreed to the profcioaed plan for an extension of time to enable thsin to -resume business. He believed that nlne-kentbs of tbe creditors would consent to tne proposition. THE VOYAGE OF THE ALASKA. DELAYED BY BROKEN MACHINERY BUT BfAKDTQ A GOOD PASSAGE.

A g-LACE EYZ FOR REFORM Dt THS SHEASI7H tSBAEL ffYXAQOOTJE. the election of three Trustee last rtigftt the member of theShearitk Israel Syna-gCirue, in Nineteetb-street, felt tbat the future tat of their congregation was to be decided. Tbe aynagosrae ha of late been divided into two very formidable tactions representing tne orthodox and reform parties of the Jewish religion. At tbe bead of tbe orthodox faction are tbe moat influential members of the congregation, families directly descended from the Machardos, the Gomez, tbe Pelxotts, and the Hendricks, who fled to this countryduring the time of tbe Spanish Inquisition.

Tbey, are in favor of the strict observance of tbe old Portuguese-Spanish ritual. At tbe head of tbe reform party are tbe Allans, tbe Blumenthals. tbe Nathans, and the Sulzberger, who strenuously demand that tbe synagogue shall be provided with an organ, and that the ladies of the congregation shall be seated with tbe gentlemen, a condition Which does not exist at prerent. But these reformers do not uphold tbe ultra-reformer. Hitbbf Gottheil, whose idea of changing tbe Sabbath Day from Saturday to Sunday tbey regard as too radical an innovation for the present- My grandfather and my father have never worked on Saturday, and I never shall," aid a member of tbe contireiratlon to a Times reporter last night, not if all tbe Rabbi Gott-hella in tbe world Introduce the measure.

There were two tickets for tbe election of three Trustees last night the orthodox and reform tiokets. There are in all seven Trustee of the synagogue, and as two of tbe four, whoa term ha not yet expired, are of the reform party, tba election of tbe reform ticket would have entirely altered the face of tbe rongregation, and the present ministers, the Rev. H. P. Mende and the Rev.

D. N'icta. would not have been re-elected at the expiration of their term. It was tbe intention of tbe reform party, should tbey succeed in electing tbeir Trustees, to adverttee for new reform ministers. A big fight was therefore expected last night, and the members of the orthodox party were most of tbem crimson with excitement on tbeir arrival upon the scene of tbe controversy.

Everything, however, went as they wished. Tbe opposition ticket was withdrawn, and Mew. L. N. Levy, Tucker David, and David were elected by votes the largest vote ever known in the synagogue.

PUSISH THE OV1LTT IX HIGH PLACES. The Grand Jury for tbe June term of tbe Court of General Session waa sworn in.by Judge Gilderaleeve yesterday. David M. Turnure was appointed foreman. In his charge to the jury Judge adereleeye said "It is clearly manifest that offenses against property of a most aggravating and appalling character are on the Increase, that a spirit of lawlessness, bred of extravagance and a greed of great riches, taking root in tbe numerous channels of speculation to be found in our city, bs been spreading through the community.

This spirit has developed a class of criminals from walks in life where we might expect to find those wno respect our laws and have some regard for legal obligations and the right of others. The growth of this evil is alarming. Confidence in our corporation and great commercial bouses, so essential In the conduct of buHineas, is Impaired; values are greatly depreciated, and the credit of the Nation is threatened. One thief of this class doea more harm tbnn a hundred ordinary thieve or burglars. Your duty doe not end when you dispose of the complaints that are placed before you.

The Code of Criminal Procedure provide that, if a member of tbe Grand Jury knows or has reason to believe tbat a crime has been committed which is triable In the county, he must declare tbe same to bis fellow-jurors, who must thereupon investigate the same. Offense of public notoriety come within your duty and require action by your body. While in obedience to tbe lawwe are punishing the low thieves from the sloughs and slums of the city for stealing small sums, let us not neglect tbe guilty in high places who steal large sums and are amenable to tbe game law." 7 HE ACTORS' FCXD IXXEED OF MOXET. A meeting of the Actors' Fund Trustees waa held yesterday afternoon at their rooms In the Theatre Comique. William Henderson presided and Harry Miner, John F.

Poole. Edward Harrigan, M. H. Matloy, Samuel ColviUe, and Benjamin Baker, the Assistant Secretary, were present. Many projects of raising money for the tund were discussed, and it wan-evident that the Trustees, wbo have labored hard during the post year, feel keenly the lack of Interest in the dramatic profession.

Many actors apply to the fund for continuous aatdstance, ana apparently expect to become pensioners. When aid is refused them, after It has been given for some time, they are industrious In. spreading there-port that tbe fund will not do anything for tbem. The fund, however, has buried 47 Indigent actors since its last annual meeting. One of those present yesterday satd: "The actors might place this fund on a sound footing by paving tbe membership due of S3 per year.

There are actors and actresses in country, and only about 600 of tbem have paid that small sum." It is expected that the meeting to-day will be a turbulent one. Tbe from all over the country show that tbe fund received by its annual benefit $5,344 S6. and from donation $71. The question of railing money, as tbe capital is now only in Government bonds, hi a serious one. To-day's meeting I open to all who have paid membership dues.
