The hearing or the other cases was adjourhad until Monday next, the de Arrests In tu Eastern DUirlcta.

On quite good authority it may be assumed bat the police officers of at least some of 1 tie Eastern District precincts were well watched by certain temperance spies to make sure that there should be no favoritism shown friendly saloon proprietors. It Iscvenhinicd (hat some of tbe "fly cops" wbo performed this duly had another object in view, which was to catch Democratic memberB of tbe force neglecting their duty, with, the ultimate purpose of breaking ell auoh. If such should be tbe faot, it will be developed by reports to tne Commissioners and tho trial of all offending in that respect. Two arrests for violation of tbeExolse law were mado after midnight of Saturday in tho Sixth Precinct. The victims were Charles Blober, of No.

236 Graham avenue, and Charles Nolten, ot No. 254 Johnson avenue. Otherwiso the saloonkeepers throughout the precinot were particularly careful to have the doors of their places alosed, not caring to pass hours in tbe station hoUBe while they might jnst as well retain their uberty. All of them had been posted on the course of proceeding to bo pursued, which contemplated tbe immediate orroet and imprisonment of every offender and, with the two exceptions gtven, observed the letter the ad. vice proffered in advance by the police.

THE THIBTEENTH PBEOINOT produced three violations, all of which were for opening yesterday morning. Ernst Glceck, Christopher BrobBt and Julius Oottschalk were arrestod yesterday between seven and eight o'clock, thoy having incautiously exposed to view tbe interior of their saloons. In the case of Qottsobalk a friend offerod to go boil for him last evening, and was direotod to call upon Justice Cluck. The magistrate, by letter, requested that ths man be sent to his residence tor the purpose stated. Under tbe lato order issued by tho Commissioners Captain Biley inferred that court should bo regularly opened, and for that reason Gtctt scbolk was not sent before tho Justice.

The magistrate stated this morning that, considering he bad been in the habit ot balling prisoners at hiB house, and besido that in this caso tho man was to appear before Justice Hiley, he did Dot think it inourabent upon bim to depart from his usual custom. Consequently Qottschalk, with the other two, passed the night in a cell. THE DEFENSE of tho two first named, Mr. Bleber and Mr. Nolten.

1b tbat under the Hotel act they were entitled to havo their placet! opon at any and all hours. It Is upon this plea tbat they intend to submit their oaseB, whioh will be called for examination on Friday next, till whioh day an adjournment has been granted by Justice Guck. E. Back Doors. The experience of the frequent visitors at saloons in all parts of the city, and not leas so in tho Eastern District, would establish the toot, doubtless that the observance of tho new order was more of a semblance than a reality.

Whero a man waa known to a proprietor or other person in charge no difficulty was found In gaining admission and tbe required refreshment. It was only in case strangers sought entrance to Baloonsthat failure to got Inside followed. Instances inside are known where a man was kept on watch to "steer" the regular customers, while to oil others be proved an Impassable barrier. The sentiment generally expressed was anything but complimentary to the sagacity of the Police Commissioners in consenting to become tho instrument of persecution in tha hands of tbe fanatical temperance men of the Cotter stripe. By soiuo fow it was argued that in the end it would come out all right as, by tbe now order of procedure, the law would be made so odious as to enforce a dlfication to Borne extent, Tbe main features complained of are first, the arrest without warrant of law of every one found infnngihg the law, ond equally with that the objeotionablo spy systotn imposed upon tho police foroe.

Money to Fay JnWret on Bonos Probabilitr or Foicclooro Snits Bondboldcra Combining Mr. Foppennmen's lioaa Laat Saturday Mr. Sharpe, Receiver of tho Long Island Railroad, and Mr. Tappan, BeceiTerof te Southern Railroad, went on a tow of inspection ot the Southern Boad, from Buahwiok to Patcbogue.

Mr. Hinsdale accompanied themi They found the road in good condition, and wore impressed with the belief that there IB business enough along the line to make a fair profit if economically managed. There never was any doubt of tblB. The: extravagant management of tha Shlpcerde and the bonding of the road for $3,000, 000 in 1878 first swamped the road. Prior to that it had always paid.

Too many men bava been employed and too many trainB run. The business of the Bockaway branoh is large enough to pay the running oxpanses of the main line when confined within proper limits. It was fonnd tbat a considerable amount of tbe property of this road had been transferred to the Long Island Ba'lroad. The Receivers are trimming down expenses in largo wty. The "receivers" have been removed from the rapid transit trains on tho Atlantic avenue Division, and hereafter the conductors must receive the fares and manage the trains.

Several men have bean dismissed from around the depot and yard. Conductors of through trains muat hereafter aot as door keepers. Several conductors and brokemen have been dismissed, and those retained must double up on their work. Great fear is entertained thnt both the rapid transit and through trains will find the avenue a tovurh place should there bo heavy snow storms during, the Winter. This Division is now in charge of Mr.

Thomas who suoooeded Mr. Sharpe as Master "of Transportation on the Baltimore and Ohio road. Default having been made in the payment of interest on the bonds of the SAG HABBOB BEANOH BOAD, the towns along ths line are taking steps to meet the demand, to Bave the road from a foreclosure suit. The road was built principally by the people and towns along the line. At the laBt meeting of the Suffolk County Board of Supervisors, 8uporvlsor Hunting, of Southampton, introduced the following treaoiution, which waB passed lietolved.

That there be levied upon tbe taxable property of Southampton, $8,000. for the purpose of poying the interest, and lor sinking fund on Its toll road bonds. Default was also made in the payment of interest on tbe bonds of the Smllhtown and Port Jefferson branch. Tho Supervisor of Smithtown, Mr. Smith, offered, and the Board passed the following Resoivsd, That there beleviol and oollocted upon the taxable property of tho Town of Smithtown, the sum of $3,500 for the purpoao of paying tho interest on tlraoadbpnciaofjaidtsiwn.

There Is reason to believe that very soon suits wll be commenced to FOBEOIiOSE THE FIB ST MOBTOAQES on tho Long Island, Southern and North Shoro and Central roadfl. Mr. Sharpo thinks, however, that if ths parties will only wait a reasonable time every difficulty oan be overcome and tho Interests of all preserved without luss. The roads are earning a profit now, and debts are being settled dolly. It Is proposed to put in operation In a few days a time table whioh will Insure even greater profit, because more economical.

It Is estimated tbt a profit of at loaal $3,000 a week oan be made through the Winter. In anticipation of foreclosure stilts, however, all bondholders outside of those In tbe first mortgage pool ore combining to protect themselves from loss by purchasing tho roads. It iB said that nearly $3,000,000 havo been subscribed. There are only outstanding. Tho arrangement Is understood to be that the persona interested in each road shall purchase if Bold separately; if sold together that all shall be In tho pool to purchase as a whole, and that tbe roads shall oe set apart afterward, and operated independently.

Sevonty cents on tho dollar is aaid to bo the value plaoed upon the bonds. This combination Will prevent the "freezing out" which was fearod would result. Although Mr. Poppenhusan is not known to hare expressed tbe opinion, those who protend to bo to judge, doclaro that ho heartily sick of railroading, and is desirous of freeing from any further responsibility in tho manaaomcnt of tho roads. Ho has said, however, that his roijrona venturos have lost $600,000 for him.

It bad been Bupposed that his losses fooled up uearly a million. THE GltEAT BKJDGE. Sternly Prosreis of tho Work Operations to Continue Throitg rlio Winter Fifteen '2'iiuttsnnd MHe4 of wire. The pleasant weather of the past two days has been very favorable to work on ibo great bridge ever tho East Rivor. The white travelling wheels pass rapidly to and fro, spinning tho wire of the massive cables bb they go, and es time rolls onward the steel supports grow stronger and heavier.

On two ol tho cabh9 six of tbe strands oro finished; live or tha strands are completed on the second pair and on the third two, six atrouds are in an aovanced Blage. The engineers ejpoct to have thirty slrands finished by Spriuff. Tho demolition of the buildings on tho further sido of Fiankfort street, to make way for the approaches 1b almoBt completed. Ono hundred mon are engaged In tearing down the structures and OBADINO THE EOADWAT. Work has commenced on the foundation of the piers for the New York approaches.

Engineer Martin said this morning that tho weather was most favorable for the progress of the cable spinning. During the prevalence of high winds there was danger of the wire of which the cables are made slipping out of the Rroovea of tho traveling whoels, ond consequently the construction had to be discontinued whenovor there was a heavy blow. The liltlo sentry boxes whioh have been place! upon the cradles for the protection of the workmen will shelter them from the wind, and they will suffer no more during the cold weather than thoy would olsewhere. They ore all seafaring men they are tough and hardy and used to exposure to the elements. They will wear warm woolen clothing, Bhoes made of buffalo hide or sheepskin to keep their feet worm and thlok mittens for their hands.

It la expected that they will continue their labors all Winter, excepting at such times as the wind causos a cessation of their work. WTBB AND 0BANITE. Over 1,000 tons of wiro have already been used in the construction of the cables. It is over 4,800 miles in length. To oompleto tho oablos it will take 3,100 tons of wire, baying a length of miles.

At preaent it la impossible to form an estimated of tbe exact amount of granite used. To finish the structure it will take 47,000 cubic yards of masonry In the New York tower, 29,000 in the New York onoborage, 27,000 in the Brooklyn anotiorage, and 88,000 in the Brooklyn' tower. The wire for tho cables is now arriving rapidly, and it is as much as tho workmen can do to prepare it and place it in proper position as soon as it is muntilaolured.

Meeting of Board tlnas ASteriioom. Two New Assessors Appointed. General Business. The interest in the proceedings of the Board or Aldermen, thiB afternoon, was heightened by tbe understanding which prevailed previous to the meeting, that a movement was in progress for the appointment of a Supervisor of the First Ward, caused by tho appointment of OoloneV Hodney C. Ward, aa Police Commissioner.

At tho election last Tuesday, Mr. Orms bec was elected chosen for the term beginning on tho 1st of January next, and Mr. Robert 8odgwick was chosen for the balance of this yoar. Tho olection of Mr. Segwiok bas boon declared illegal an 1 void, as thep.wefto nil the vacancy is vested in tho Common Council.

Tho Bopublicsn Aldernion to day were in favor of the appointment of Mr. Ormi bee lor the short term also, while the Democrats were inclined to support Mr. Bipley Ropes, who, it was said, would accept. Another matter of interest to the politicians was the appolntmout of two ntsesuors in the plaeos of John F. Hennessy and Charles Kiebr.

Tho Mayor some time ago nominated Marous Beard and CharleB Naohr, but flio nominations were laid on the tablo and remain there. It has been rumored for a week past tbat Mr. Thomas Ennis, of the City Clerk's office, would be nominated for Hennessy's place, tho Mayor to first withdraw Beard's name, and that Naohr would be taken from tho table ana confirmed.

Ho told tho men tbat he wanted them and the entire force to understand that outside Influence will have no weight with the Board that their positlonB are safe just as long as they perform thec duty, and all that he and tho other members of the Board desired, waB that they should altond strictly to the rules of tho Department, and in doing that thoy might bo satisfied that their positions were snfe.aud that no outside influeaoo could hurt them in any way.

General Jourdan said to tho Eagle reporter "There has been some coutidcrablo talk of a 'grand is it is expressed. That tho Board Is going to oleavo out by wholesale. This is all wrong. Tho Board has no Buoh determination, and it any changes should be made, they will be made solely with a view of bettering tho force." Alderman Shannon had a long talk with Jourdan today, and has made an application for a tonewal of his license. EXONERATED.

A Sew York Merclaant II a lags Slimscli'. Melancholy End of Henry S. Ayre3. A Brother's Terrible Sui prise. Mr.

Henry 8. Ayres, a New York merchant, nged 38 years and uuiuarried, committed suicide on Saturday night at N' 235 Dean street, whore ho resided with his fathor, mother and brothers. HanRing was the means to which the unfortunate gentleman resorted for tho purpose of self destruction, and the circumstances attending ibo rash act were as follns: Deceased had been in ill health fur some time but was not so Indisposed as not to bo able to attend to bia business. On Saturday evening ho returned from Non York about 6 o'clook, and dined and spent tbo evening with his farnilj, a.n; nothing unusual waa noticed iu hia manner to indicate tho near approaob ot tho shocking tragedy of which ho was tbe victim. On the contrary, be appeared more lively and in better spirits than he hod been for severol weeks.

At obout ton o'clook be retired for the night, going with Ills brother Aldon, aged 21 to tbeir bod room on the second floor. Both brothers slept together, and theyounger was not aware that tbe melancholy occurreuoa hod taken place until about olglu o'clock lu the morning when he awoke and found that bis brother was missing. Supposing that he was in the bathroom he paid no attention to the matter, but half an hour or so going by and ho failing to return, tho brother alarmed and made a thorough search through tho house without, however, any success, no trance of tho miBSing man having beon discovorod, although his clothes wero found just as ho had left them on the previous nlgbt. Ho thou notillod bis brother James, who slept on the other floor, and tbo search was renewed. On opening a cloeot iu one of the rooms whioh was temporarily unoccupied, they woro horrified to see thoir brother SUSPENDED BV THE NKOK from a hook by a thin but strong cord.

Ills feet wero a few inohes from tho floor, aud from tho manner iu which ho carried out his suicilal purpose, it is evident that he was firm in hia dotf.ruiiu.itlau to the last. Tho body was promptly cut down, but from its appourauco it was evident that life bad long been extinot and it was tuoroforo depmed unuecoasnry to call a physi ctan The (gmiiy were overwhelmed with grief mid astouislimonF, iiS not notify tho pijico of the Third Precinot ot tho occurrence.

I gladly indorse your opinion that Senator John Morrlssoy bas good quoiltiea, which may eclipse many of his Pharisaical fierce opponents. True enounb.

But it la absolutely necessary Just now for Senator Morrlssey to immodiolely destroy his faro table, and proclaim in a sworn puuuo biuuviv vuv interest whatever and sball never take any Interest, or profit, or commission, or percentage, from the faro table. My mind'a oyo looka at tho faro table as Indirect highway robberv. Heads of families arc robbed there in one hour of all properly, and then turned out into the street, to plunge into the drunkord's grave, the suicide's grave, the lunatic aaylum's grave, or graudually on the rood of unlawful callings Into the felon's grove 1 Jnst all such possibilities hang on tbe conscience of Senator Morrissey, who thrives on the profits of oU suoh indirectly murdered people Ail the hot tears of widows and orphans must drop like the sharpest adds npon John Horrlssey'a oonscionco 1 No, sir you cannot argee an exbonoratlng distinction between a RamblioK hell and its owuer. who. with cool indifference, pays his meols and oil his expenses with tbe proBts or tne gamming neu, wnere every nour ame bodied men, as well os whole families, are knocked down.

Tbe members of the Senate bave no right to admit a Senator elect to bis seat if he cannot bring a sworn i affidavit that he neither keeps nor ever enau koep a gambling houso nor ever shall derive profits ther.ifrom. When Oillman was sentenced by Recorder Hackett, the judgocould not suppress tbe tears on his oheeks, whllu tho Judge unflinchingly did bis duty. If our Senators admit 8onotor Morriasev to his seat withont my proposed sworn affidavit, tboy are either idiots or criminals, wilfully destroying publio ond private morality. Pbofessob WlENKn.

At one of tho meetings lotely held by the delegation thia matter was discussed, but in view of the unlortuoate experience of ths Pennsylvania delegation in connection with tbe English Mission; it waa determined that no formal recommendation should be mode. It was determined, howover, that the delegation should agree upon some man whose name they could Individually present to Secretory Evarts should he ask for further advice io reference to this matter, and Colonel Ingersoll was selected. Tho noderatandlag was that tbe Secretary was to be informed that tbe delegation had no foimal recommendation to matte Ior tbe German mission, but If Colonel Ingersoll should be nominated tt would!) ogreeoblo to the delegation ond acceptable to tha people ot Illinois. Colonel Ingersoll was advised by telegraph of this action, and tbe dispatch hovtag been aeon by ao enthusiastic friend residing at Peoria, he jumpod to tha conclusion thot the German mission hod bean or would be tendered to Ingersoll, and sent out the dispatch connecting him with tho place was recently published la tho newspapers.

Ti.wiv.Vi vi js. nolJ.lt Overrun by Place Seekers The Experience of Collector Tanner What He Proposes to Do One Appointment To day Probabilities in Department of City Works Two Men With Grieyances. Dan Bradley and Tullamore Henderson Telling Fairy Stories at the City Hall. There was the same crowd hanging about the entrance to and corridor of the City Hall this fore noon, that have haunted them Bince Alderman Shan non's treachery gave tho control of the various city de psrtmeuts to the Ropubllcang. The rush for places is simply enormous, the applicants exceeding the number of positions to bo disposed of fully Ave to one.

The Colleotor of Taxes and the Commissioners of City Works ore the principal sufferers at the hands of these place seekers and their friends. Collootor Tanner said this morning, that bis house was besieged by them while he was at home, and that tbe last person he saw at night ond the first in the morning wob some man who wanted a position in his office. He said he Intended to make a number of changes, but they would be more gradual than people might expeaC. While he felt inclined to reward friends for their help to him, he was not disposed ts aot hastily, and certainly In no way, which would embarrass the business of the Department. The busy season of the year, the time for the collection of taxes, was near at band, and be appreciated the necessity of having oompetent and cxpeiionced clerks at the desks, so that businoss would not bo impaired.

He had made ONE APPOINTMENT TO DAZ, that of Isaso M. Lawrence, of tbe Fifteenth Ward, who took the place of Thomas Devyr, of the Seventeenth Ward, a olork. Mr. Lawrence was the man who carried him off the field of battle after both of his (Tanner's) legs hod been shot off. There are forty odd positions io the gift of tho Collector, and it is thought probable that changes will bo mado lu the most of them by New Yoars at tho furthest.

Mr. Tanner wsa called upon this morning by a number of Bepublican politiclaua, who spoke to him in behalf, of friends. Among those who called were, Sam McLean Supervisor Snyder and others equally woti known. John Cunningham was thore as a representative of the Uniques. These worthies of course want Blioe of patronage, at least the Livingston faction who supported the Republican ticket, but It is not likely that Mr, Tanner will give them the preference over faithful and, old timj Hepublioans.

AT THE DEPARTMENT OP CITE WOEK8. Thero was displayed on the wall In the Commissioners' olBco this morning a notioe to the effect that oil for employment must be addressed in writing to the Secretary. Notwithstanding this rnle, the olflco and its approaches were crowded with ploco eeekcra. The outer ofllos was filled by the poorer classes, while their political "heelers" went inside. President Slooum and Commissioners Bennett and Flaherty wore present.

Tho pressure brought to bear upon the two last named offlolals in the iuterest of place seekers is very groat. It ts eipectod that they will work together in tho interoat of the Bcpublicons. President Slocum is not so muoh bothered as ho formerly waB, although he by no means escapes being bored by hungry applicants for positions. Is Is generally bolioved that numerous changes will soon be made by Beunoit and Flaherty. There are too many Democrats holding positions in tho Department, while hosts of Republicans are out in the cold.

It has been rumorod that Bennett and Flaherty Intend moving upon the Chief Engineer and several of tho other larger places. If thoy do so, thoy will, in all probability, meet with opposition from President Slooum, who maintains, and has maintained, that noomployo should be removed for purely political roasons, Bennett and Flaherty, it is understood, oro carefully going over the payrolls with tho vlow of making out a plan of attack, and will begin tho work of deoapitatiou when they have completed it. Probably no changes of ospoctal importance will bo niado ior several vrooks yet, DAN BBADLEY fiOBE. Dan takes his defBat very "hard." He was at the City Hall this morning ventilating what bo oonsiders his grievances, and endeavoring to Bhow tbat bo had been counted out. Ho claimed that tha figures showed that Clancey's majority nas only ono hundred and twenty, but that Clancey had been counted iu.

Ho was sevore upon some of the canvassers of the Fifth Ward, whom he characterized as thieves and against whose appointment he said he bod protested to tho Board of Elections. Dan as asked whothor bo intended to contest ClaDcey's Beat, but ho did not say whother he would or not. The day after election he emphatically assured an Eagle reportor that he proposed to contost. Perhaps same of Dan's frlonds have coun seled tiim to silence. ANOIHEE MAN WITH A GRIEVANCE.

Dr. Thomas Tullamore Henderson, that bard handed bou of toil, has a grievance also. Ho was the Republican and Workingmon's candidate for Coroner, and now claims tbat he too waB counted out. Dr. Siuims' majority was over eight thousand, but still Henderson claims to have boon oounted out and says be will contest.

He bas sent letter to the Board of Eleotlons Betting forth his case. He says tbat in tbe Seoond, Fonrtb, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Fourteenth, Twonty aoooud ond Twonty fouitb wards, Dcmoorats votod for Kavanagh ond hlmBulf for Coroners, but tbat the ballots wore not oredltod to tbem. In ono of ths districts of tho Sixth Ward he charges that a canvasser was seen tearing the pasters from the Democratic tlokot and deliberately chewing them up while the canvass of the votes was going on. Ho also charges that several thousand tickets of tho Labor League, which contained his name and whioh were voted in tha county, were not counted, but were either thrown away or characterized aa "soittering." Tullo moro says he believes that Dr. Slmms was not rightfully elected, but was declared elected through the most barefooedV rauds in the oountlng of tbe votes.

He will therefore contest. He was at the Hall this morning dividing with Bradley the attention of all who oould be found to listen to thoir fairy stories. PERSONAL. Mr, Blohard B. Greenwood, of the Law Department, made bis first appearance before ths Court of Appeals at Albany, tbls morning.

In a ease In which the olty is interested. Mr. Greenwood is one of the rising youug membors of the bar and holds the position of Chief Clerk in the Corporation Counsel's office. His friends prodiot a bright future tor him. DEPARTMENT OF ARREARS.

Mr. Meachan, on tho Chicago Tribune, soys that tho reason the Cbicagos failed to win the pennant this season, was, firs), because Barnes was unable to play up to his usual high mark, and that thoy hod no ono to replace him; secondly, because Bradley had no ono to support him properly bolitnd the bat two good reasons; thirdly, because tbe experiments with now players failed; fourthly, "lock" wss ogoinet ths club for "luck" read poor management, Spalding having too many lrona In the flro; fifthly, because the nine failed to bat, and lastly, because the umpiring was against them. In ploca of theBe reasons tbero should be named tbe utter lack of united effort in the team, ond too many captains and managers.

Bast New Yobs. How tbe Snmlay litaw was Enforced Yesterday. A Large Number of Liquor Dealers Be ported for Violations A Number Ar rested and Looked Up Alderman Shannon's Place Open, but no Complaint Made Airainst Him What tbe Excise Commissioners Are Determined Upon. The As was stated in Saturday's Eaom, the new Board of Police and Excise, consisting of James Jourdan, Rodney C. Ward and Thomas P.

White, has determined that tbs Bxoiaa law shall be respected, and that as for as possibls no saloon shall be allowed open on the Sabbath. The commissioners having deolded that the system of sending men in to drink, as pursued by the Temporsnce people, is of little avail, have deolded to take the bull by the horns and insist on the policemen of each precinot acting aa a duly organised bqdy, who aboil see to it that all places Bre seonroly oloBod on their respective beats between 1 and fl In the morning on week days, and from midnight on Saturday until 6 on Monday morning. Superintendent Campbell wob then sent for ana was informed that he must forthwith instrnot tbe police captains under his command that thoy were ''to oarry out the provisions of the Excise law," and tbat tbe Commissioners would bold the captain of each precinot "personally responsible" if any complaints should bo made to the effect that llqnor stores were being kept open or that liquor waa being sold. The Board therefore plaoea the responsibility dlreotly upon tha captains, and they in turn hold each policeman accountable for the conduct of the aaloona on his post. The Board also ordered that eaoh liquor dealer In the olty be notified by the polloe of the Instructions given the forae and to warn them that It would be unsafe for them to sell at all, as their license would surely be revolted it deteoted.

The result was that to all sppearancea nlne tentbs of the liquor stores and lsger beer saloons were closed yesterday. The faot was that there was not one in ten in whioh liquor was not Bold. The polloe were very vigilant ond oertalnly attended to their duty ob well as tboy oould, although none of them tried to oaton a liquor dealer by entering hiB Bide door, or following people who went In the house. It was the Instruction of the BpaJ.a M5.the "lw" should be 6arrted out and when asked whether people oaught selling should be arrested. General Jourdan stated distinctly that they were not to be locked up If they were responsible parties, but their place was to be reported and a due oomplaint made, and have them arrested on a warrant, THE LAW, relative to arrests ond obtaining warrants for those violating It is as follows i Sec.

A Fugitive from Justice Worried Ont by the Detectiyes Superintendent Camp, bell's Persistency and Shrewdness Rewarded. A new, and to those outside of police circles, an unexpected page in tbs history of the Betz homicide was opened this afternoon, John Devlin, the perpetrator of tho sanguinary uot, having been qnietlv brought into Police Headquarters In the custody of Detective Patrick Core. Devlfo has been fugitive from justice since the evening of tbe tragedy, Friday, September 28, and, although hotly, closely and persistently pursued, and on many cornered by tho detcetlves, who havo never for a moment been off his managed to evsdo actual arrest; Tho chaso became so close, however, that ho and hiB flsnds Juetly concluded tho HI3 OAPTTJBR WAS ONLY A MATTER OF DATS, or weeks at the most, and therefore concluded to take the best course under the circumstances and surrender himself to the authorities. Superintendent Campbell has given the case more care and attention than any which has occurred since tho Goodrich murder, sad the minutest movements of the detectives who wera after the unitlve have been corrled on under his able management, and the final success of their efforts Is an additional proof, if one were required, that the executive machinery of the Police Department is In able and competent bands, Devlin, It Booms, after skipping away, kept under covor for a couple of weeks, and it was not till about a month ago that ha was "looatod." It was positively ascertained from interooptod letters that he wss hiding In Kingston, 'on tho Hudson, and Detectives Corr, Zundt, Corwin and Ennis wore sent there, although thoy could not positively ascertain the plooe where he was concealing such precautionary mosBnres as effectually out off the possibility of his escape. This faot was clearly demonstrated through lotters which ho wrote to his family, and which came into tho possession of the police.

He stated that he was so carefully watched that it wai impossible for bim to leave the bouse for three weeks, and that he wss obliged to pass days and days witbont being able to get any tobacco or oigars. Ho also said that he would rather bo dead than livo muoa longer in such A STATE OF CONSTANT APPEBHENSION, and requested his father to see the Bistrtot Attorney and open negotiations for his surrender. A few days after the receipt of this letter Delvin's father called on the Suporlu ton dent, and the result of the conference was an engagement on the part of the father that bis son would bo given up to day. Devlin made tbls agreement, It Is understood, on tho promise of the District Attorney that bis son's nnmo was not of bo aggravated a obaractor as to expose his life to tho halter, and on the advice of bis counsel, Mr. Edgar M.

Cullen, to the same effcoi. On Saturday Devlin promised the Superintendent that the agroemont would be carriod out to day, and true to bis promise he was at Headquaiters at 10 o'clook this morning, and started with Dotective Corr, whose work in the cose has been especially effective, to New York, hlB son was enjoying the last hours of his anxious liberty. Before starting for New York thj father told the Superintendent that be had seen bis son lost night, and that tho oompaot would be falthrully carried out. Whon Don leached headquarters thiB afternoon with father and son, he went immediately to the Superin tsndent's office, whero a long conference took place between them. Tho prisoner was taken to Raymond etroet Jail.

THS MCKDEE OF BETZ was tho resultof a drunken quarrel, in whlob several young rowdies participated, and occurred in the hallway of tho tenemont houso of No. 6'J Morrell street, WiUiarnsbnrgh. Devlin, It seems, mndo some remark reflecting on the ohoracter of Botz's wife, and was knocked down for the insult, Betz then, it is nlloged, armed himself with a hatohet and pursued Devlin. Both mon clinched in tbe ballway of the abovo houso and Betz fell mortally wounded, having received a shocking stab wound in the breast, from the cifcctB of which ho diod in a few moments. Devlin ran away from tho scene of the tragedy and made his escape, although ho passed several officers on his way to tho ferry.

John Beiz was a poor crtpp'e, and the only support of his crippled mother. Tue jury who served on the inquest brought in a verdict of murder, but tt is probable that the crime will come under the boan manslaughter. Devlin's father is a wealthy liquor dealer, KILLED BY A MUTOK. l'lie Firm Fatal Accident on tho Port Iluiittltou Line A. Driver SlioclUne iTIiitllfitcd.

A dreadful accident occurred last Friday ovening on tbe Greenwood and Fort Hamilton Railroad which resulted fatally at an early hour yesterday morning. The victim was John McNally.a middle aged man, who for a number of years has boon employed by tbe Brooklyn City Railroad Company in tbe capoclty of a driver on tbe Court street line of horse cars. Mo Nail? quitted his work at the usual hour on Friday and started for his home which Is located In the vicinity of Bay Eldge. At the Greenwood depot bo went aboard ono of tbe the now steam motors which runs to Fort Hamilton. These cars run at a very rapid rale, when beyond tho city line, and the weary driver was soon near his homo.

Within a short distance of the half way house, the motor slowed up and MoKally alighted, Unfortunately for himself ho Bteppcd from the platform on the wrong side, and his feet touched tbe ground between the other track. A motor running In the opposite direction came along at a rapid rato. McNally was standing directly in ol it, and before the speed of the conveyance could bo lessened, IT WAS UPON HIM. He fell upon the track and the wheels passing ovor bim crushed his right leg and severely Injured his head. His soroams Bte.rtted the passengers and he was picked np and carried to a neighi oring house.

Tbe Ambulance soon arrived and after the wounds ot the unhappy man had ocon dressed he was placed In tbe vlblcle and conveyed to tbe Long Island College Hospital where he remained until yesterday morning when death terminated bis sufferings. He was uhooklngly mutilated, The railroad company seems In no way responsible for the aooldent. The offlolals, however, are greatly shocked by tbe occurrence aud uxpieas warm sympathy with the family of the deooased. An inquest will be held by Coroner Slmms. PERSON At.

Tho report obtains oredence in consequence of tbo unsatisfactory character of the latest roportB of his condition.

Tim Alderman Opotilr Dcfrinir Ibo excise taw Will tlio I'ollco coiuinls siouers Prosecute Utm. Alderman Shannon, who, according to Ite pubiioan authorities had "the moral oourage" to vote with tbe Ropublicon members of the Board, exhibited hia lndepeudeuco" yesterday by defying tho Police Commissioners to close his gin mill at 11 Bridgo slTeet. In the sftornoon the door of the family entrance' opening on Talliuau street, swung easily on its binges and ingress or egress was possiblo for civilian or policeman.

Between four and five o'clock tbe gin mill was lighted up and the rofleotlon oould readily ba soon from tho other side of the street. Alderman Shannon was there and chewed vigorously at tho end of a Ho dropped an occaeloual word with the half a dozon men who stood around tbe bar room. A baitjndcr stood bebind tho bar. "Good evening, Aldrrman," said one of two men who bad pushed their woy through tho family entrance. "How are you replied the Alderman, stopping short in his walk and staring cautiously at tho strangers, Tne bsrtender looked at the visitors, then at the Al df rman, then ot bis bottles.

The Aldarmou resumed his walk, apparently satisfied with the result of his observations, and the bartender, taking the ouo, asked, "What'U yer havo Drinks were ordered and of a nature that would have oaused Oliver Cotter's heart to lean with Joy. Tho Alderman was violating the Excise law in selling intoxicating on Sunday. Ho was violating tho law In haviug his gin mill or en on that day. He also RUilty of another offense of whioh the Police Commissioners must take cognizance even if tboy dare to overlook the others. The Alderman was Belling liquor without a lioense, as the records of the Buroau of Excise will show.

The lloenses for his two gin mills ox plred some days ago. Last week he paid the money which enabled him to renew the license of the place at 212 Bridgo street. That at 122 Bridge street was not licensed at 10 o'clock thiB morning. It remains for tho publio to see whether the Police Commissioners will proseoute this moral Alderman with the some vigor that they threaten to proseoute the other liquor dealers who sold and kept their saloons open yesterday. PASTORAL APPEAL.

The Letter ot the Episcopal Bishops. The pastoral letter adopted at the last meeting of the House of Bishops of the Protostont Episcopal Church was rood yesterday in nearly all the Epls oopol Churches of this olty. It declares that it beoonios tho direct duty of our ministry to proclaim with its utmost enorgy thot tho low of holiness In tho New Testament is a law of holiness for men under oil conditions ond under all circumstances of life. Tho letter also states tbat the ohurch noeds a higher standard of morals ond a pure practice as urgently as it needs on increased Episcopate or multiplied missionaries. Bcferenoe is made to ABUSES EXISTING IN THE OnTJBOHES.

The letter states that there are easy opportunities in our parishes for devioos whioh in secular business are barely tolerable, but whioh in the church have noiblng whatever to excuse their Bordidnesa or their vulgarity except that they bring needed money to a worthyt cause. It is not necessary to speoify tbese abuses or characterize them as they deserve. It is enough that thoy lie close to tbe border of forbidden ground. EDUCATION OE CHILDREN. A large space it dovoled to the paroutal obligations in the education of children.

Mncb of the corruption in social ond publlo life is doclared to have Its root la defective family training, and it la inconsistent to send your children to schools administered In the interests of Borne, or in sympathy with any of ita dangerous errors. Your obligation Is to bring thorn up in tbe nurture and admonition of the Lord. Lot no man deceive himself with the thought that no influences will bo exerted by soch schools to withdraw our children from the truth in whlob they hove been nurtured. It would be as dishonest In Romish teachers, who believe that thoir Balvatlon Is imperiled by non communion with the Church of Borne, not to Influence tho children committed to them, ob it is sinful in you and perilous for them to submit their susceptible years to such religious impressions. The perversion of your children is a predetermined end of receiving them Into Homlah sohools.

Your children will become negative Protestants, if not positive Bomanlsts. THE BAOBEDNES8 OE otAItBIAOE. There Is dangor to religion and society from want of fidelity to the tgcreclueia ol marriage. In giving these our counsels to the church we feel constrained to advert to a subject which is of painful interest to many persons, nnd which, from its very nature, wo would gladly leave untouched did our sense of dnty permit us to be silent. Tbat subject 1b tbe great and growing disregard in our oountry of the sanctity of marriage.

The evil la shown in tbe levity with whioh marriage is contracted, the unserupulouacess with which it is entered upon by men and women to whom it is forbidden by tbe laws of the ancient Churoh of God bythelawaof the Christian Church, and in some in stances by tbe laws ot nstnre itself. The same unhappy tendency Is shown in the readiness with whioh divorces are obtained on slight and insufficient grounds, and subsequent unions formed which are called manlages, but wbich our Lord bas pronounosd to be adulteries. The baneful ond unchristian state of public opinion which tolerates and frequently even legalizes such acts is a portentous omen for the futuro of religion and society in our oountry. Meanwhile we urge it upon our brethren in the soared ministry to instrnot tho families committed to their charge with renewed core and diligence in thosa principles of moral purity which give honor and strength to Christian wedlook. We urge it npon parents to train thoir children to a clear knowledge of what the law of God requires in the relations of the saxes, as well as In guarded habits in whatever pertains to the manners and intercourse of social life and we urge it upon all our people to preserve this chastity and constancy ot that divine bond between husband and wire which our Lord has obosen as a living image to represent the mystical union of Himself with His bride, the Churoh.

Tbe letter also briefly considers tbe relations between capital and labor, tha necessities for missionary work and the fields where it Is most needed. TOKMEKTED BY SAUGI1T1 BOYS.
