LIKELY TO HANG 40M1MIM 4. Short If Farley Again on Hand Probability That Racing Will Continue Noxt Week, Special to the Eagle, Brighton Beach Back Track, 1 October 15, 1888. Sheriff Farley and eight deputies arrived at tho track at 1 :80 o'clock to see that tho law prohibiting betting Is not violated, but there is little need for their presence, the attendance bolng very light and composed mainly of horse owners, trainers and touts. Despite the fact that the managomont had announced that to day would end the season at Brighton It now looks as it racing will be had here next week, owing, it Is said, to the philanthropic Intention of Mr. Engeman to offer somo special purses for tho poor horse owners who, ho claims, have not monoy enough to move their stables.

Somo seem to think that tho management have an Idea that the Sheriff will get tired of attending tho races soon and that thon open betting will agalu be indulged In. Many of the best horses have left the Brighton stables and If racing Is resumed noxt week the fields will present the sorriest lot of stiffs" that over faced tho flag. Thore Is no open betting to day but consldorablo private wagering la being done. Sheriff Farley says he will bo at the track on every race day and wlU seo that the law Is enforced. TIMELY TALK.

Why Engemsto, Will Bun a Little Longer. Ho Thinks the Brooklyn Jockey Club bus Been Losing $2,000 a Day Forgetful Ladies. George Engeman I am undecided what to do but I rather think I shall have racing at tho Brighton track during next week as we have a number of horse owners thero who have not monoy enough to get out of the county and I shall offer some purses for them to run for. Some of thorn have not won a race there this year. It will take some time to fit up tho track at Clitton for racing, and taking everything Into consideration I think we shall continue to run at Brighton.

The authorities can't atop racing if thoy do stop betting, and I suppose there will be private betting on the track, but I shall not allow any violation of the law. Tho meeting of tho Brooklyn Jockey Club is a failure and It was a foolish thing to roopoa tho track. 1 do not think tho club mado any monoy during tho first meeting aud I am told It lost (2,000 each day dunug the present moetlng. S. Wochslor How forgetful ladlos aro.

I suppose that at least three a day forget their pocketbooks and perhaps as many more the very articloa they havo Just paid for. Inmost cases they come back frightened and excite! and sometlmos cannot evon describe what they have lost They are very thankful when tholr proporty returned to them. If I bad not been present the other day I would not have believed what I saw. A lady lost her pocket book, containing over $300. Ono of tho girls picked it up.

Tho lady called during the day and asked If It had been found. Sho described It thoroughly and I handed It to her myself. She Just took It and walked out without oveu saying thank you. Manager Hamilton, Brooklyn Theater I am unable to uuderstaud why "Our Society" now running on this stage has not boon more succossf ul la Brooklyn.

He hos prepared the following table, showing the rates for 1885 and 1888, by wards, on eaoh $1,000 of valuation.

Mr. Cadloy made the following statement In connection with fils work: 'The taxes for the now ward will bo apportioned this year the same as If It were a town. I think tho officials and tho people thoro aro acting very foolishly in not raising tho amount required for school purposes. Tho result will be that there will be nothing raiBod for the public schools and the deficiency will havo to bo taxon out of tho $500,000 fund ralsod for local Improvements, aud will havo to be made good in noxt yoar's tax levy by tho Board of Estimate.

But this year the taxes In the town will bo very low as the result of that, and next year extraordinarily high. I understand that In ouo of tho throe school districts tho people aro willing to raise the money, but I would advlso them not to do it unless the same action be by tho othor two; for the reason that if the people In one district raise the monoy this year and the people In tho others have their deficiencies supplied out of this $500,000 fund, when the deficiency Is apportioned noxt year, it will bo apportioned on the ward at largo, and the people who raised the money this year will havo to pay their pro rata sharo of tho deficiency In noxt year's tax levy. Tho oxpenses of tho city at large havo boon lnci oasod $180,000 this year by the annexation of tho new ward. They will be Increased that amount irrespective of any advnntago the city will receive. Tho apportionment of tho towns la not yet completod, aud will not bo till I havo finished work on the older wards of the city." ASSESSMKNT OF PLACEHOLDERS.

Dlx. One of the classss In this school Is taught by a Alias Welch. One of the complaints against Miss Welch Is made by Mr. Arthur Carlln, a lawyer, whose office Is at the corner of Fulton stroot and Boorum placo. Ho has a boy ton years old In this teacher's class and alleges that at least twice of lato his little son has returned home from school with marks of severe maltreatment The first time this happened was last month.

The llttlo fellow, Mr. Carlln says, had his arms covered with big red marks aud the boy said his teacher had whipped him with a ruler. To an Eaolb reporter to day Mr. Carlln said, after making tho above statement: I went to seo Mrs. Dlx, tho principal of the school, and mado a complaint Sho said sho would havo tho whipping stopped.

A few days ago my boy came home again with marks on his arms, and said his teacher had boen punishing him. The llttlo boys and girls all corroborated his story when I wont to see about it Thoy said their teacher locks them up In closets, ties their hands and refuses to let them go out when they have to, or if they do go keeps them in after school. Mrs. Dlx was askod about the mattor at the school building this morning. "I don't bellove Miss Wolch has been whipping those boys again," sho said.

"The last time she did It I told her she must leave the chastising of pupils to me, and she said sho would. These boys aro tho worst In the school. Since they were transferred to this school from tho main department, where tho rattan could bo used, they havo causod a great deal of trouble." The teacher, MIbb Wolch, was sent for. Sho said I have nover used a ruler or struck that boy but once, aud thou he was misbehaving and I leanod over my d09k and struck him with a ruler. It may have mode a Blight mark." Do you over lock children in closets and tlo tholr hands 1 have a soft rope mado of cloth with which I tie their hands sometimes when thoy become unruly.

I usod a pleco of string on tho Carlln boy the other day, and I suppose that was how tho marks were made. I had to lock him up la tho closet that way, for ho kept rattling tho doors." Mrs. Dlx told Miss Welch such chastising must not bo done again. A man named Grady makes a charge similar to Mr. Carlln's about his boy, who is in Miss Welch's class in this schooL AGAINST GAMBLERS.

The schooner Georgo M. Case, of Chicago, foundered about 1 p. yesterday, when about six miles off this harbor. The vessel sprung a leak in the forenoon, and the captain, thinking ho could make this port, pointed her for here. A heavy gale from tho southwest waa blowing and a torrlblo sea rolling when she went down, but tho river lug W.

A. Moore, which was on her way to Buffalo, and whjch was In sight of the schooner when she sank, made Immediately for her. Captain Ames says he found four mon clinging to tho rigging and with difficulty resoued two of them, notwithstanding the heavy sea that was running. The harbor tug Booth had started for the vessel before she went down, and her commaudor, Captain Carter, seeing her disappear when ho was about half way to hor hurried tho tug forward and arrived in time to rescue tho other two men, who were greatly oxhausted from tho sea rolling over them. The achoonor went down In about seven fathoms of water.

She was owned In Chicago by Captain McDonald, who formerly sailed her, and registered 827 tons. The names of those saved are John Frondergost, mate, and Charles Foterson, C. McCarthy and Olo K.

WILL BE QUIET. The Democratic Primaries To night. Assembly Contests Claiming Much Attention Er Alderman Donovan Decides to Ran Against Mr. Felix Campbell The City Judgeship. The Democratic primaries to night will afford illustration of the unity of tho party.

In nearly all the ward3 there will bo no opposition to tho regular tickets. Thoro la a probability of contests in tho Second, Third, Twelfth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Twenty sixth wards, with Indications that tho regular ticket will win in each ono of those localities. In the Third Ward the fight will center In tho Assombly delegation, there being throe candidates for tho nomination In tbo persons of Mossrs. Curran, McDonald and Louis. The Third Assembly District comprisos tho Third and Tenth wards, and as tho dologation from the latter will support Mr.

P. K. McCann without exception, It Is thought that he will succeed in the canvass he is making. In tho Twelfth Ward also the contest will pertain solely to the Assombly ticket, thoro being no opposition as rogard3 tho others. Tho ward Is the Fifth Assembly District, If Mr.

Michael Cotfoy carries tho primary Assombly. man McMahon will be renominated by tho convention. The contesting ticket is bolng led by a printer namod Farrall, who is anxious to go to tho Assembly and who has mustered a strong following In tho clastic regions of tho Hoak." Tho Congressional delegation will bo a unit in favor of Mr. Campbell. The l'ourteenth Ward struggle will bo betweon tho regulars and the Clattcyitos.

Opposition to tho renominatlon of Mr. Bliss for Congress has cropped out In this locality, and au effort will bo made to secure a delegation oppose to him. It Is not likely to succeed. Patrick IL McCarren lias swung into lino in favor of the renominatlon of Mr. Farrell, and tho inuueuco which he carries with htm will result In tho choice of a tickot favorablo to tho selection of the Assemblyman.

An anti Bliss fight will also bo made in tho Fifteenth Ward. Robert Bennington and liobort Connolly will contest tho primarios in tho Soventoonth and Eightoouth wards, comprising tho Eighth Assombly District. Bonniugtou wants to succeed Connolly in the Legislature aud is uudoritood to have a vory good chanco of bringing about tho election of a dologation in his own interest. In tho only remaining ward whore thoro is likoly to be opposition tho Twenty sixth there aro a largo nurabor of Democrats opposed to tho renoinlnatiou of Assemblyman Nowtou. If Mortimer C.

Earl decliloj at the last moment to stand for the Assombly ho will probably succeed in beating Newton, whose record in tho Legislature is not regarded as a satisfactory ono. Dologates favorablo to tho ro nomnatlon of Mr. Itidway will ba elected almost without exception, and the samo cheery outlook pertains to the caso of Mr. Daniol Lake, who scok3 a renominatlon for County Auditor. With reference to the nomination for City Judge, a majority of the delegates, in tho opinion of Register Murtha, will bo favorably disposed to Mr.

Osborne. Mr. I'earsall's frlonds on the other hand, said this morning that tho outlook for tho election of delegates who would support their candidate could not be hotter, and that thoy would go Into the convention with a majority on their side. As tho canvass advances it seoms more probable that this quostion will havo to be fought out In tho convention. If Mr.

Pearsall Is choson Mr. Oshorno will support him; and if Mr. Osborne is chosen his competitor will doubtless do what ho can iu a similar direction. So in the Congressional districts there is no opposition to either Messrs. Campbell and Mahonoy, so far as portaios to tho party organization.

Whatever opposition there is amenatos from other sourcos. Ex Alderman Donovan, of the Twelfth Ward, has decided to accept the Labor nomination against Felix Campbell In the Second District, and expects to poll a large vote. The City Conveutlon delegates will. It is thought, bo practically unanimous for Brlnkor hoft for Controller. There Is no talk of candidato against him.

Ho lias everything his own way for tho nomination, although he will be called upon to make a lively campaign, if Baker Schultz Is pitted against him by tno Republicans. Tho frlonds of Mr. Vongo claim that iu twolvo wards tho delegates choson will bo favorablo to the reelection of tho Auditor. Mr. John Ropp who Is bolng backed by tho loaders, will havo his scouts out iu all tho wards to night, tho indications being that a large majority of the dologatos selected will voto for him.

The characteristic feature of to night's primaries, as a whole, will be their harmony. There novor was a time in the history of the party in Brooklyn whon there was less contention within their ranks, and whon thero was less of a disposition to Ignore tho suggestions of tho leadors. For this reason, if for no other, it is not probable that tho complexion of the delegation will differ, in auy wny, from that which was anticipated a wook ago. BEECHER CREATES A SENSATION. Ilix Views of Retribution Do Not Meet Willi KnelisH Approval.

London, October 15. Rev. nenry Ward Beochor, tho Brooklyn preacher, to day delivered an address at Dr. Parker's City Temple, his subject being "Pulpit Work."

A Clear Case Against Delia, the Murderer. An Old Client Reminds Judge Hoore of Early Days Boy Burglars and Their Plunder A Big Bateb. of Indictments.

The Rev. William Sparger is rabbi. A DIVORCE GRANTED. Jjonisa 3. Porter was this morning granted a decree of divorce from CtuurlM ft Porter, in the Supreme CottA Father Sherman Not in a Mon astery.

LlYinjr in Brooklyn With His Wfe He Denies tbat He Was Dragged Before His Marriage. An interview with a Mrs. Costello, of Bed Hook Point, in relation to the recent movements of Father Sherman, tho youug prlost of that place, who married Tulle McCoy, of Douglass stroot, was published In Wednesday's Eaole. In it Mrs. Costello represented herself as a warm friend of Father Sherman.

Among other things, however, she said that the young priest had written to her for money In order that ho might go into a monastery In Philadelphia to "do penance." Sho added that he told her several days after his marriage that he had 'been drugged before he went through the marriage ceremony. Mrs. Costello ended her statements by Baying that Father Sherman had finally entered a monastery near Philadelphia, and was doing menial work. The foUowing letter was received at tho Eagle offlco yesterday from an old friend of Father Sherman and bis wife: I have been a constant reader of your most valuablo paper for the past twenty years and I must say that I never saw or heard of such an abused man as the ex prlest, Father Sherman. You had an account about him In tonight's edition as It was given to one of your reporters by Mrs.

Costello, and I must say It is all false. Why I state this I will now relate. Being a friend of both of them, 1 took the trouble of going to seo them. I called at their home and was received by his estimable wife. Although I stopped but a short time I gathered as much lnformafton about the article publlshod as" was necessary.

In the meantime Mr. Herman arrived and we had a hearty laugh over It Just think how the people of Red Hook must have thought when reading that he was in a monastery in Philadelphia but Instead ho Is In this very city and In perfect health, and was smoking a good cigar when I left htm. I asked him about his sending for money to Mrs. Costello, and he said It was false. He also told mo that he waa not drugged when he married, but, on the contrary, ho was ust as conscious of his marriage that night as know him to be this night If you wUl bo patient for a few days you will be able to furnish all tbe true news for the Bed Hook gosslpers.

I understand that he Is going to Join a church where he will meet with entire satisfaction. An Admibeb op Jostice. Brooklyn, October 18, 1888. The gentleman who wrote tho letter was seen by an Eaolb reporter at his place of business this morning. From him was obtained Father Sher mau's address In this city.

When tho reporter called there he found tbat neither the ex prlest nor his wife were at home. The lady with "whom they are staying, however, said, that tho couple were living happily together, and that Father Sherman had no Intention of repudiating his marriage. "I was proseut," she said, tho other night when tho letter which was sent to you waa written and I cau say that every word in it is true. Fattier Sherman was here at the time also and laughed heartily at Mrs. Costello's statements.

In relation to the drugging story I remember ho Buid: 'What perfect nonsonse that is. Anybody who knows me, knows that I am too old a bird to be caught with such chaff. I think It is a shamo that so many lies have boen told about him, as ho doos not deserve such treatment Miss McCoy comes of a fine family, and Father Sherman and she were very fond of each other long before they were married, and everything connected with their marriage was straight and abovoboard. In regard to his writing to Mrs. Costello for money, I know that he did write to hor, but not for monoy.

As to what his future plans will be, I'd rather you would seo him about that yourself. One thing is certain, though, and that is that he has had all ho wants of tho Caihollo religion, and will never re enter tho church." BROKEN OFF And Legal Proceedings Talked Of. The Engagement Between a Son of Bear Admiral Walko and Miss Wustermann. Not Ready to Make a Statement. Considerable discussion has been caused by the announcement that tho engagement between Miss Amy Wustermann, of 151 Henry street, and Francis E.

Walke, a son of Rear Admiral Walke, has been broken off. Both parties aro well known in local social circles. Tho engagement dates back several years, and tho lady claims that1 until about six months slnco Mr. Wmlkor was uuremlttlng in his attentions.

Wustermann figures In the caso, and logal proceedings are talkod of. Mr. Walko was seen this oftornoon by on Eaolb roportor. Ho said he was not prepared to make auy statement In connection with the matter, but would probably havo something to say a llttlo latter on. HE WAS JUST IN TI5IE.

A Peculiar Lawsuit IVIiicb tho City I ins Settled for $000. A case presenting some peculiar features has Just been settled by tho city. On June 8, 1870, John Jacquos was appointed a patrolman on the police force, and at 9 o'clock A. M. the noxt day was sworn Into office.

Whon ho wa3 appointed a patrolman's salary was $750 per year, but tho noxt day the Legislature passed an act increasing the pay of patrol mon "appointed theioattor" to $1,000. Jacques served three years at t50, and then sued the city for the dlfferenco botwoen that amount and $1,000 on the ground that ho was entitled to the increased pay. There was somo doubt as to whether he was not entitled to the money. As the case was unusual and from the nature of it could never become a pre" codout, and as it would cost about $000 to carry It to tho Court of Appeals, It was settled by tho payment of $600 by the city upon the recommendation of the Corporation Counsel.

FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER IS, 1880. BIX PAGES. NEGK AND NECK James and White in the Congressional Race. Only Two Candidates In the Field and the Eesnlt Uncertain A Carciul Analysis of the Ward Delegations An Opportunity for line Work in Some of the Assem My Districts The District Attorneyship Contest Practically Confined to Payne and Backns. Nearly every politician at Republican headquarter to day had pencil and paper in hand trying to figure out the result In the Third Congressional District No two estimates wore alike.

Enrly In the morning the Whlto men claimed to havo forty sevon votos, the number necessary for a choice being forty Later in the day, attor many delegates had been aeon, these figures dropped considerably, and it was impossible to add up a majority lor either Mr. Whlto or Mr. James. The result of tho primary In the Twentieth Ward practically took Colonel Smith out of tho race. The Colonel Bald to an Eagle roportor this morning that ho should stay In the race to the end.

He said he was slighter, every Inch of him. Ills frlond General Catlin came out openly to day for Mr. Whlto and urged him to exert hia infiuonco in that direction. Hr, Jesse Johnson has a few voto3 and thoso who ore not for either of the other two candidates are credited to him, but in reality they come under tho classification of "doubtful" or "a now candidate." Thorb are six wards in tbo district with the following number of dologatos from each ward Seventh, 17; Thirteenth, 11; Klntcenth, 16; Twontloth, ID; Twenty first 16; Twenty third, 13. In the Seventh Ward the Bartlott Warlng combination won at the primary.

This delegation possibly holds tho key to tho situation. There are certainly six James men on the ticket, as follows: Messrs. Bragdon, Bassett, Konnody, Thorpe, Laurence and Squire. There nrg. certainly three Whlto men Bay, Bliss and Walker and It is said that Mr.

BarUett will use his inlluonco to induce tho other delegates to vote for Mr. Whito. The highest estl mote of White's strength in this ward Is eleven Totes. Mr. Waring and Mr.

Stuart say that Whlto'a vote will not exceed six. The Nineteenth Ward will be absolutely antl White. Mr. James can count on eight votes as follows: Benjamin D. Bacon, Ambrose Snow, Samuel Dorraau, Goorgo W.

Moro, John J. Coger, Frank II. Bollows, August Hardt and George 11. Brown and poBBlbly A. C.

Ilockomeyer. Tho othor dolegatos are friendly to Mr. Johnson, but as belweon James and Whlto will go to tho former. Tho John A. Nichols' faclion in tho Twentieth Ward have control of that delegation, and it Is reported to lay upon good authority that Mr.

Nichols Is for Mr. Whito. Sir. Nichols, through personal, political and business relations, can probably carry tho following for Mr. Whito: Messrs.

Koberta, Little, Fuller, Thayor, Ilarrou, Van Duyu, Bacon and Jilllson. Kivo Of tho othor delegates are for Mr. Jamos and two are said to bo for Mr. Johnson. From the beginning of tho contest tho Thirteenth and Twonty third Wards have been slated for Mr.

White. There is no roa eon to day to change tho estimate It Is safe to say that Mr. Loaycraft, who carries the Thirteenth Ward dologallon In his pocket, will be on tho side of the winning candidate. Based upon tho moat most reliable Information obtainable tho vole, if taken to day would bo as follows upon the first ballot: John TViirds Whito. James, boh.

Seventh 1 Thirteenth Nineteenth Twentieth a A Twenty first 1 Twenty third 10 Totals 35 10 On the second ballot the doubtful voto3 in tho Nineteenth Ward would certainly go to James, kIt Ing him forty thrco, equal to tho number of Whlto delegates. The two doubtful votes In tho Twentieth Ward will then settle the matter. It is quite nroba blo that the White estimate from tho Seventh Ward Is too largo. Tito Afsombly nominations In tho Ninth and Elovouth districts must bo taken into account as very important factors. In tho Ninth Dis trict, Fred Cochou, of tho Thirteenth Vt ai Is a Sandldato.

William C. Wallnco is a candidato from thVTwontleth and Is backod by John A. Nichols. Mossrsv an jjoran anu rngo uto mjuujuai Ex AssSmblyman Hodges controls the Assombly delegation from tho Ninotounth Ward. There is a Bplendldfcpporttitiity in tills district for a dosl in tho interest of Whito.

In the Eleventh, John Oakoy is the candidate from the Twonty third Ward, and L. Emorson from the Seventh Ward. Mr. James' frlonds In tho Twenty first Ward will endeavor to mate a deal with one or tho othor of those candidate, and Mr. frlonds will not bo backward In doing tho same thing.

As tho manor now looks no candidate haB a majority of the dologatos. THE DISTIIICT ATTORNEYSHIP. But few delegations are pledgod to any particular candidato for District Attorney. The contest la clearly between Foster L. Backus and Robort Payne.

Thoy are tho only candidates in tho Hold with oxcoptiOQ of Mr. George F. Elliott, who will have a complementary vote from tho Twentieth Ward. Mr. AIB ert Lamb, the law partner of Jesse Johnson, is mentioned to day as a possible compromiso candidato.

If General Tracy will not accopt tho nomination it will probably go to either Mr. Backus or Mr. Fayno. A comparison of notes to day among politicians would eeem to show that Mr. Backus will havo a majority of the delegates from tho following wards First, Seventh, Tenth, Nineteenth, Twouty firet, Twenty third, Twenty fourth aud Twontyidfth and that Mr.

Payne will capture tho Thirteenth, Sixteenth, Third, Sixth, Fourteenth, Fiftoonlh, Seventeenth and Eighteenth wards. A prominent Republican said to day that if Mr. Backus can Bhow any considerable strongth among tho Germans he will certainly bo tho nominee of the convention. Judge Nnoher and ex Alderman Hacker are for Backus, but Louts E. Nlcot is out for Payne, and says that Backus cannot carry the Sixteenth Ward.

Mr. Nlcot is himself a caudidato for office. Mr. Payno and his frlonds feel vory bad that his Republicanism Bhould bo attacked as it has been. Thoy say that ho has always boon loyal to but party and that the charges are grossly untrue.

It Is thought by many that this attack upon Mr. Payne will react in his favor. lie said to an Eagle reporter to day: All tho business connections I have outside of my law practlco is with tho Municipal Electric Light Company, the directors of which, I believe, are all Republicans. I own 150 shares of Stock In that company, which I took for steam power In a factory in tho Eastern District, which I owned when tho company was organized. With regard to the charge that I was connected with Maurice B.

Flynn and Hubort O. Thompson let me say that I have boen tho counsel Tor Guy C. Hotchklss, Field Company, of which Mr. Flynn Is a partner, for about fourteen years, nd 1 was the counsel for II. O.

Thompson In his Investigation before tho Senato Committee. I do not Btato this in any apologetic way. On the contrary, I only wish that I had boen fortunate In securing more clients like Mr. Flynu's firm or Mr. Thompson.

I have rendered both services and both have paid me, and that is what I am practicing law for. I may remark and I think General Tracy will think me fair in the statement that he and I are at present two of the counsol for Mr. Flynn in his present difficulty in New York Ulty. The circumstance does not, in my Judgment, disqualify General Tracy, and I leave it for others to Indicate why It should disqualify Mr. Robert Fielding, of the Twonty socond Ward, secured the Assembly delegation of the Tenth District, and Mr.
