The pastor of the Centennial Baptist Church, Rev. Justin D. Fulton, caUed at the Eaole office today. He talks with as much warmth and ease iu ordinary conversation as he does under the Inspiration of an admiring congregation. His face is as florid as it was twenty years ago, but his heart is yielding to the touch of Winter, and the blazing fire of his ardent temperament is not bo scorching as it was.

Ho is, he says, paying attention to nothing but the Gospel now. Are you going to make a Baptist clergyman of Father Sherman 1" bo was asked. They asked us to pray for him," responded Mr. Fulton, after a moment's thought They said he was In groat trouble. We did pray for him, and you will scarcely believe it, but the next day he came from Philadelphia.

He told us that he felt himself compelled to come to us. I told him he would have to be born again, and askod bim if he wanted to. He said he did, aud I said, Get right Bless you, tho dear child didn't know anything. Ho had been educated In two colleges, but he could not quote a passage of scripture He hasn't revealod any great ability yet, but I liko him. He abuses nobody.

I told him that all the good he over had In his life had come from the Catholic church, and that he must have no quarrol with it" Do you propose to make a Baptist clergyman of him?" We can't make a clergyman of a man. simply because he comes from the Catholic priesthood. He must show some aptitude." It would tako soma tlmo to fit him for the pulpit in any evont What will ho do in tho moanwhlle I don't know. Ho is as poor as Lazarus. Ho has a piano worth five hundred dollars, but thero Is a mortgage on it, aud I must raise $20 to day to save tho instrument Ho Is staying with a Scotchman whose face It would do you good to look at I can't give him tho $20.

It is more than I have in the world." BOND STREET'S SEWER. Tlie City Sued For 820,000 Damages by Property Owner. The suit of John J.

Testimony was given to show that the sewerage filled up the canal so that laden boats could not reach the docks.

A Go wanus pilot testified that he frequently found the canal unnavlgabie. Cross examined by Cor poration Counsel Jenks, he said he oflon churned up tar refuse from the bottom with the propeller, and found tho shallowest parts between the creosote works and tho sower. For tho defense Mr. Jenks puts in a general denial, and, Judging by tho cross examination, will try to provo that if tho canal was choked up the fault was on the part of the gas works or tho creosote works. The case Is still on.

Jacob Thomas, a laborer, was arrested about throe month3 ago, in Jersey City, for complicity in the murder of Patrick Cronln, who was killed during a drunken brawl on Barren Island two years since. Last week he was Indicted for manslaughter and is now in Raymond street Jail awaiting trial. Previous to his arrost ho had been keeping company with a young German giri named Barbara Woidor, whom ho had met while working iu Long Island City. Ho had promised to marry her and tho wedding was to havo taken place about tho time he was takon into custody.

Tho young people have kept up a correspondence since the law stepped in to part them, aud yestorday aftornoon, by the aid of tho law, they were reunited for lite. Barbara, accompanied by Justico Scholllieu, presoutod horsolf at the Jail and was usherod into ono of Sheriff Farley's private rooms. A few minutes afterward Thomas was also token into tho room and the two wore loft alone for some timo. When ThomaB opened tho door ho told the Justico that ho aud Barbara wore ready to bo married. The prisoner's counsol, ox Assemblyman Benedict, and Joe Evans acted as witnesses, and in the shortest possible timo tho knot was tied.

Thomas would not speak oxcopt to say that it was true thai he had boon married, and that ho did not think that the affair was of any interest to anybody but hlmsolf and his wife. Ho expected that his trial would end In acquittal.

A WORD TO TUB JURORS. Judge illooi'o Says They Have Nothing to do With FtiniauiiieiilN. Michael JlcCfttiley, who is nbont 24 years old, was tried In the Court of Sessions this morning upon an Indictment for grand larcony in tho second degree. He found a man asleop upon a stoop, and was accused of having relieved him of bis watch and a sum of money. It was the first Jury impaneled this week, and in delivering his charge Judge Moore called the attention of tho Jurors to tho fact that they had nothing to do with the matter of punishment.

Jurors are sworn, said his Honor, to render a verdict according to tho ovldonco, and if they take anything else into consideration thoy violate their oaths. It did not matter to them whether the punishment for a crlmo was dvo years or five hundred years. Tho Legislature had determined that. In this case the prisoner was either guilty of grand larceny in tho first degree, or ho was not guilty of anything. His Honor's romarks were called out by the dls position so often manifested by Jurors, to flud for a lower grade of tho offonso chargod, out of a feeling of commUeration for a prisoner.

Michael Reilly pleaded guilty to grand larceny In the Bocond degree and Michael O'Brien to on at tempt to commit burglary In the third degree. The Indictment against Mrs. Lottie C. Rockwell, for grand larcony, was dismissed. The complain ant was Mrs.

Ella Harrison, who lived in tho same house in tho Eastorn District and charged Mrs. Rockwell with stealing a quantity of fine clothing. One trial was had, in which tho Jury disagreed.

When Mr. Pierce heard of McCue's arrest he wrote to Judgo Walsh asking his Honor to impose as light a penalty as possible on the prisoner.

Tho case was called this morning, but or some unexplained reason Officer Ansbro did not appear against McCue, aud tho prisoner was accordingly discharged.

I4 SDBRAX ttTRKBT, NEW YORK TCESDAY EVENING, OCT03ER 19, 1888. SIX PAGES. SHARP'S TURN. She Engineer of the Broadway Boodle Plot Arrested. An Indictment for Bribery Found Against Him by the Hrand Jury President Bichmond and Foshay Also Locked up.

Jake Sharp, the arch plotter in the bribery business, was arrested early this morning by Detectives Slnvin and Reilly, of Inspoctor Byrnes' staff. The arrost was made on a warrant issued by Judge Cowing yesterday, charging him with conspiracy and bribery. A warrant for the arrest of Jim" Richmond, tho President of the Broadway and Sovonth avenue Ralroad, was Issued at the samo tlmo on similar grounds. Tho warrants wero placed In tho hands of Inspector Byrnes, last night. lie decided not to maKo tho arrests until this morning, but took steps to guard against any attempt at flight on the part of the accused by keoplng a guard on thom over night.

At 7:20 o'clock thla morning the officers went to Mr. Sharp's house with Inspector Byrnes himself Detective Heilly rang the bell, and was told that Mr. Sharp was still In bed; but on the plea of urgent business the officers wero admitted and wont straight to Mr. Sharp's bedroom. They informed him that he was under arrest, aud ho got up at once and went with them.

Tho party arrived at Police Headquarters about 9 o'clock, and went through the Aldermanic gate on Mott street into Inspector Byrnes' private office. Then Mr. Sharp was shortly Joined by Mr. Richmond, who had been found at tho Brevoort llouso by Detectives Sergeants Frinck and McLaughlin. The two boodlers looked dolefully at each other.

Mr. Richmond had been there before, being already under bail on a charge of bribery; but it was Mr. Sharp's first appearance. They learned that the charges now laid op against them were based on entirely new evidence. Messengers wore dispatched lor counsel and friends, and within an hour Ex Judge Fullerton and ex Senator Robert Strahau responded with Lawyor Stickney.

A consultation was held In hasto aud the lawyers hurried out to procure bondsmen for the appoarauco of tho railroad magnates in court. Iuspector Byrnes announced that he would be ready to tako the party boforo the District Attorney at noon. Just before 12 o'clock James W. Foshay was taken to Police Headquarters and Joined tho party in Inspector Byrnes' office. He was arrested at his house, No.

GO West Fiftieth street, on a warrant similar to those sorvod on Sharp and Richmond, charging him with bribery. The Intelligence of the arreBtof Sharp, Richmond and Foshay spread about tho municipal offices in the City Hall Pork, Now York, and crowds began to arrive at the District Attorney's offlco at an early hovr. There was, however, less excitement caused by tho arrests than followed the apprehension of the men they are charged with bribing. Of course, tne general impression was that tho railroad officials had been Indicted and that their arrests wero made upon bonch warrants. This was slightly wrong.

Thero had not boon any indictment found against Sharp nor any additional one in tho case of Richmond, against whom one Is now pending. The men wero arrested on magistrates' warrants Which Judgo Cowing issued last uight on tho application of District Attorney Martino, based upon an affidavit It Is expectod Indictments against the men will be perfected this afternoon and turned into court. "Charley" Waito was brought down town from House of Detention soon aftor the alleged bribe givers were taken to Police Headquarters. He was in the custody of his keeper, Detective Sergoant Frlnk, who arrived at the District Attorney's office with him about 10:30 o'clock, aud hurried him away from tho gszo of tho curious men who filled the corridor into DolancoyNlcoll's room. Sonio little timo afterword Osborne E.

Bright, of the firm of Robinson, Scribnor Bright, counsel tor Sharp, arrived and had a consultation with District Attorney Marline. Inspector Steers outorod shortly afterward. It was learned that Sharp) Foshay and Richmond were to be detained at Police Headquarters until indictments had been found and everything was in readinoss down town to have them go into court, enter ploas and give bail should any be fixed. Waito was taken boforo tho Grand Jury about noon and gave evidence upon which, In all probability, tho indictments against tho bribe givers will be signed by tho foreman and made ready for presentation to Judge Cowing. Lawyer Os borne 15 Bright also appeared before thom.

At 2:30 the prisoners wore taken before Judge Cowan. Mr. Martlno informod tho Court that each had twonty ono indictments against him, and askod that the ball in each case be made $100,000. Ex Judgo Fullerton romonstrated vigorously, saying that any amount over $25,000 was excessive. At 8 o'clock the quostlon was still being argued, both sides becoming personal Judge Cowing, after argumont, fixed bail in as against Sharp Foshay, and $25,000 additional in tho caso of Richmond, who Is already under that amount.

TJJE VALES' TINES AG AH. Trouble About a Boy who will Inherit a Fortune. Ex Judgo A. J. Ditteuhoffer this morning applied, on an affidavit sworn to by Mrs.

Valentine, to have her son Ludlow J. Valentine removed from the custody of M. O. Young, one of tho professors of the Polytechnic Institute, to tho caro of somo neutral person. The affidavit charged George W.

Bergen, the boy's guardian undor his father's Will, with intercepting lottors between moth ir and son, and with 'falling to provide properly for the boy, according to his station in llfo. He will inherit 165,000 undor his late father's will, and is to supportod in tho meantime on tho interest of $15,000. Justico Cullon said the boy had called upon him, and in answor to quo3tions said ho was very happy with Proressor Young. The court said It would be difficult to rendor a doclsion uuloas Mr. Secor submitted afflldavlts.

"The trouble is," said Mr. Secor, "that affidavits are no use. Here are a lot of frivolous complaints which cannot be contradicted except by tho oral examination of tho parties. Mr3. Valentino Is soeu daily on the streets of Now York and Dr.

Roichardt, but whenever we want her to come to court she Is always sick." Mr. Secor was given time to sumbit answering papers. COURT OF APPEALS. Decisions in Local Cases Broadway Railroad Argument. Albany, October 19.

Searching for Nominees for City Offices. While the nomination of Mr. 8. V. White to Congress from the Third District gives Joy to some members of the Republican party, the fact cannot bo disguised that ills candidacy is not being very heartily received.

It Is admitted on all hands that Mr. White is an able and conscientious man, who can fitly represent the district, but there Is widespread opposition to the men who are tiehlnd him. Mr. Albert Daggett haa a great many enemies In the Republican party in this city, and they feel vory sore that he haa again succeeded in coming to the front. His enemies have to concede that he conducted the campaign In a masterly manner.

lie did not make a miscalculation, except when he attempted to carry the Nineteenth Ward. There was eonslderable talk last night and has boon to day of running an Independent candidate. It la hardly probable that the movement will amount to much. Mr. James said to day that he should vote for Mr.

White. His Mend, Mr. Beasley, practically said the same thing last night. There is about as much opposition in the Seventh Ward as anywhere else. It Is claimed by some that the ticket which won at tho primary was a false one that It was understood to be antl White, when la roality a majority of the delegates were Ironclad for White from tho beginning.

In the case of the Twentieth Ward the understanding was that it would be antl Smith, but otherwise unpledged. A good Democratic nominee, with pronounce free trade tendencies, it is thought by some, will stand a good chance of carrying the Third District General Tracy will open headquarters to day, and Walter Thorn will take charge of his campaign. The General has arranged his legal business so that he can give his entire attention to the canvass. He will visit every ward, if possible, and will make a vigorous stump campaign.

Charles Y. Van Doren 1b a promising candidate and has much strength, but whether he Is Mr. Nichols' man remains to bo seen. The report is that "Our John" Oakey cannot havo the Assembly nomination this year in the Eleventh District but that it must go to Mr. L.

W. Emerson, of the Seventh Ward. The Republicans wero glad enough to hear "Our John" talk to them lastnight at Everott Hall, and have been for twenty years past, but when he asks the small favor of a term in the Legislature his long servlcos to tho party count for nothing and ho Is gracefully laid aside.

Andrew Betts, ono of their number, to the Assembly. ARRESTED FOR BURGLARY. Why a United States Supervisor was Compelled to Resign. About 4 o'clock on Sundny morning, Mr. Francis Reilly was awakened by a noise In his room, at 23 Humboldt street, and on rising saw a man attempting to escape.

I was a regular elected delegate from the Twentieth Ward, In which I re Bide, and only after I became aware of the fact that Goneral Tracy had been urged by Messrs. Payne, Backus and Elliott, candidates themselves, to accept the nomination for District Attorney, did I favor It myself. As to the slurs attempted to be cast on Goneral Tracy for his connection with mo in tho railroad, It Is a fact well known to all the leading officials of the Empire Protective Asso elation that tho general's views were In active opposition to my own as to the treatment of their demands and that ho was.

A 'Sneak entered store of James Thomas, 238 Court street, last evening, and tttote mo toe ot cjjeara vwieft Democratic Sentiment Concerning the Nominations. None of the Candidates Entertaining the Least Donbt of Soocoss Auditor Lake Looking Forward to Large Majority. The Democratic county and city nominations, It Is hardly necessary to say, were received in the best of spirit by the party. Some bitterness was shown by the supporters of Mr. Fearsall at his defeat for the position of City Judge, but It speedily vanished when it was announced that the gentleman would support Mr.

Osborne and the entire Democratic ticket Mr. Fearsall's friends claim that his rejection was mainly attributable to the "Big Four" in local Democratic polltlcs.who gave it to be understood that they would scratch the entire district In the event of a failure to nominate Osborne. It la asserted that the combination in the Sixth Ward was opposed to Mr. Fearsall, more by reason of his business association with a noted lawyer who figured In a little difficulty with Mr. Dunne a few years ago than because of any antipathy to that gentleman personally.

While there may be more or less truth In these allegations, the fact Is not to be forgotten that South Brooklyn proper has no representation other than an Excise commissioner, and that the Democrats of that section thought It about time that something was done In the way of more even distribution of the offices. Mr. Osborne IIvob in the Sixth Ward, and Mr. Fearsall In the Twenty second, which already has a resident on the bench in the person of Judge Clement Mr. Osborne's friends will make a spirited campaign.

The candidate himself will take no part In the canvass any moro than will Judge Reynolds on tho Republican side. Mr. Osborne said this morning that he believed that he had the good will of the entire party, and had every assurance of success from all parts of the county. The renomlna tlon of Mr. Rldgway for District Attorney is well received.

The reported intention of the Republicans to sacrifice the rest of their ticket in the Interest of General Traoy and rumors to tho effect that what Is to be known as an "antl gambling fund" was being raised among the church people for the purpose of defeating Mr. Rldgway bad the effect of stirring up Democratic ardor In behalf of the party nominee. "The talk In which the Republicans are Indulging," said Mr. Rldgway, "Is all nonsense. It seems idlo for me to say that I am Just as much determined to carry out xhe laws against pool selling as Mr.

Tracy oreany other person can be, and if the Republicans Intend to conduct their canvass on tho anti gambling Issue they will find themselves matched on ithis of the line every time. I am in this race to win, and while I desire no por sonal controversy with General Tracy or any one else, I am none the less disposed to resent any intimation to the effect that the execution of the law will not be as safe In my hands as In his. That Ib alL" Mr. Lake expects to be re elected without difficulty. "I certainly except to poll the full party vote In the county," ho said, and that will be sufficient to elect The nominees for the Coronershlp are regarded bb especially strong.

Dr, Hooney stands well in his profession and well with the party, whilo Mr. George H. Lindsay, in the Eastern District, will undoubtedly summon to his aid a large number of votes that are usually cast for tho Republican ticket Ex Assemblyman Mc Carren was warmly complimented to day for taking so complacently the result In return for so doing he will probably receive tho Senatorshlp nomination next Fall, and can then count on tho support of many influences which were inimlcably inclined a year ago. For tho Controllorship Mr. Livingston Is expected to poll the party vote no matter who Is nominated against him by the Republicans.

Mr. Thomas B. Rutau, tho nominee for City Auditor, is not only strong with his party but with tho tho Grand Army peoplo, who are already raising a contribution fund In his behalf, irrespective of the poetical tendencies of the donors. It may be regarded as certain that Cougressmon Campbell, Bliss and Mahoney will be renominated by their respective conventions. Ex Alderman Donovan, who received the Republican Indorsement for Congress in the Socond District last night, has not been promised support by the regular Labor organizations, ne is being urgod by what is known as tho "kicking" element of tho Labor party.

in the Third Congressional District the Democrats are at sea. The only possible chance of Democratic success in this locality Is In the event of another Republican candidate. If a good man is nominated by tho Labor party the Democrats will Indorse him. No person has yet appeared as being anxious to sccuro the nomination, and considering tho heavy Republican majority in tho district it is probable that somo difficulty will bo experienced In obtaining a candidate. Tho nominations for Assombly and tho Board of Supervisors are as much in doubt as ever.

So far as tho party has gouo In the composition of its ticket thoro is no complaint It is expectod that it will win aud win easily. Mr. William A. Furey is conducting tho campaign. Funds aro being received In good proportion, and nothing seems to be lacking that would further the management of a zealous and vigorous canvass.
