Next came the horse cars and then the cable and so on. He hail taken statistics, not for or against any HS'Btem ot nwn nrnt oo liSU. 1 know THE LIVE WIRE his road fr permission to use the trolley bo considered at the same time as the other petitions. Mr. Lewis interrupted the sueakir for the purpose of telijng the committee that at the time of the conference of the four railroads which formed in a general petition to the hoard, an effort was made to find Mr.

Van Allen, the president at the Brooklyn, Bushwick and Queens oounty road, but without uuuees. appeared pleased with Mr. Lewi' romarks and went on tostato that tho road ran from Broadway to North Second street, to Metropolitan avenue, to tho Lutheran cemetery. Alreatiy two thirds of the consent of tho abutting property owners had boon obtaiued for the use of the trolley system, and, furthermore, the condition of thu company being such tiiat it should be reorganized, the directors would esteem it a favor if their application was considered in conjunction with tlie otner and tho request for the trolley speedily (. ranted.

Dr. Hogau, a resident of the Eighth warn and a property owner, said that the ot the railroad presidents had convinced liim that the trolley was best calculated to build up the city and givn tho people the comforts and convenience they desired. Colonel John N. Partridge, president of tho Brooklyn City and Newtown railroad, was the next upeakor. His remarks were brief, being simply a statement that two t.liir.ls of the property owners along the line of the road had given their consent, to the substitution ot the trolley for horses.

Chairman Coney was. about to adjourn tho mooting, hut before doing asked Mr. Smith if he wished to be. heard ou tho sido of the opposition again. As Sir.

stood up to reply 1ns face assumed a jovial expression. Ho said that he was so surrounded by railroad magnates that it might be dangerous to come again with opposition to their piaus. "No. no," broite in Mr. Ricn ardsou.

and the crowd laughed, ur. Smith admitted that tho odds wore terribly against him, and that the nppoaitinn was ust what no expected. Chairman Coffey said there would bo another hearing, the object of the committee being to hear everybody with an objection against the introduction of the trol ey nystem. Mr. Lewis laid he would like to have the question disposed of aa soon as possible, and not delated three or four weeks.

If the permission was given soon the companies could (tive their orders their electrical equipments, which would then be ready in the spring. With another cordial invitation from Chairman Coffey to all ooji etors ot the trolley to be. present at the next tession, tho meeting was adjourned.

Bidgood ot tho Flushing board of health appeared beforo the town board of trnstooa yesterday afternoon and condemned the town hall as nnaafe in case of lire. Dr. Allen said thero waa no communication be'tween the ball and the rear stairway and that the stairway was practically nsolose. He referred to a recent crowded meeting at which Chauncoy Ml. Depow spoke and depicted what would have been the condition of affairs had a cry of fire been raised.

Dr. Allen said the condition of tho hall came within tho Jurisdiction of the board of health and that ho demanded an outside stairway to run down from the gallery: also alteration in tho doorways. "I call for immediate action," said Dr. Allen, "and want tho plana submitted to tho board of health for approval." Trustee William C. Bolirman said tho matter had been a subject of disensaion in the town board for throe years.

An appropriation to remedy the evil bid been asked for, but had not been grantod. "Those people come here and toll us what wo must do," said Mr. Bolirman, "and we have asked the people and they voted it down. If tho board of health will furnish the monoy we will do it." "I give notice, if you don't do it we will close tho hall," said Dr. Alien.

J. IS. Bidgood then inquired into tho general Btranath of the town hall building and said that, as regarded precautionary measures in cane of fire, it waa not in a safe condition according to law. Mr. Bidgood repeated Dr.

Allen's assertion that the board of health would shut up tho bnild iuB if necessary. Trustee Bohrman said: "You havo groat power to ordor things done, but we have not the means to obey your orders. Dr. Allen askod the board to pass a resolution then and there, showing that tho board was in favor of tho needed alterations. said he, "wo can have something to act upon." Trustee BMirmau said if an appropriation wero granted it could not bo until noxt April, and then it would take a year to get it.

Mr. Bidgottd referred to the rapid and increasing growth of Flushing and insisted that immediate action bo taken. Ho said that at the gradu: ting exorcises of the public school pupils, the hall was crowded as much as it was at political meetings and that it was vory dangerous. Dr. Allen finally aaked that a special mooting of the town board be held to confer with the board of health.

Mr. Bolirman put this motion, which was seconded by Trustee Henry Kreamer and carried, and the meeting will be held Friday evening, December 4. The town officers of Flushing are Henry Kreamer, William 0. Bolirman. Albert Van William T.

RioniioKD, November 28.

Georgo L. PrlnoaaUas John D. Prince, advance agent of the 5mma Juch opera company, was arrested hero last night charged with being a fugitive from jiifrtico from Maryland. Ho will be taken to Baltimore to day. there seems a reasonable objection to the use of poles, but ir they are wining to i main on Beacon street, Boston; State jdreet, Albanv, and tho principal thoroughtares of other cities," wo might be willing to try thorn on our streets here.

They will, in any case, bo but little higher than the lamp poste and no more of a disfigurement than they are. At any rate it wdll help in cot rid of thousands of horses, who are themselves a great nuisance. I believe that when once introduced tho good senno of the people will establish the system. There must be something in it, when out or the 104 cities of this country hav. iug over 10.000 inhabitants 100 mo the oyer head trolley system as a motive power.

I defy you to point in any city where it is an injury or where the people would go back to the horse cars. That is the result of experience rather Ihan theory. If it is so terrible why have they permitled it to continue. It has not killed a person in all tiiat time, and is preferred in Boston, Albany, Troy, Bmghamion. Syracuse and Buffalo.

I had rather my name was connected with tho iiitrodueiiou of this system into this city than with any other public enterprise I have been connected v.ilh here, excepting it was the bridge. And yet that was opposetl. I don't, want to go back to au ient history, but tbas was opposed by some of tno gentlemen who aia here and by others too. They were afraid the towers would not stand, or the cables break, or the bridge blow over, or sonn thing of that sort, but this has not happened, aud who would now want the bivdge removed. It ts only a repetition ot the old story of apposition to progress and improvement.

As ts Mr. Munsev, let him know that I run a lit.le strip of a road down here and that my power house is open to every experiment for the improvement of tho system and I have there during tho dav cranks from as far as Oregon. It is sometimes so filled with cranks that I cant tell them from the workmen. They come with storage batterr and other plans, but none have yet equaled in practical value the system we now use. Yet wo are willing to welcome Sir.

Munsev or an other gentleman. Mr. Muniev eagerly promised to he on hanil. Henry E. Hutchinson, president of tho brook lvn bank, then spoke.

Said ho: Gentleman of the common council 1 snt P.I; as representing property of my own in the Twenty third ward and as representative of the Urooklyn bank, which is erecting a valuable building ou Fulton stre corner of Clinton, and al for several directors, stockholders and depositors of our institution who are largely interested in Brooklyn's prosperity. I favor the clsauge to the trolley system in iho business interests of Brooklyn and as the most available. It seemi to mo that the time has now arrived when Brooklyn saoitld prepare ta assume the Draper rank she can hold amongst the other cities of the land. Our location, our increasing population, tho rapid building up of the suburb. the important railroad ami steamboat connections made and about to bo made, all point to this fact.

It is clear to all practical men that tho days of horse car railroads are numbered: it is too slow a ufeans of communication, too exponsive mid too unhealthy. New York city is now adopting a netvmethud of rapid transit and will soon be able to transport any number of people to Westchester county quicker than they could get to East Now York. ISew Jersey, which will soon have a bridge or tunnel, or both, is ofisring every inducement to Now York business men. The Long Island railroad is reaching out to all the ferries and carrying New Yorki rs rapidly through our streets and beyond our boundaries to remote parts of Lonf? Island, and thus rapidly building up suburban towns without greatly benefiting Brooklyn. Tho question is, Shall wo residents ana business men of liieoklyn receive the great population that is eager and atixiotts to come with lis and build on every vacant lot in Brooklyn, and lator over the whole of Kings county? Shall we take th prosperity that is offered to us, or shall wo allow the cities of the West and East to distance us in population as Chicago has aireadydonoT I am in favor of any system of rapid locomotion that is safe and can promptly be put in use.

My experience is not large in the matter of electricity, but it seems to me that it is the coming mo tivo power ana that at present the trolley pystem is the only available method of applying it. Hundreds of cities in this country are now using it and with invariable success. I consider it as great an improvement over the present system as horse cars were over stages. In conclusion, I favor the change because the business interests and sanitary welfare of Brooklyn demand it, and the change of systems can economically and quickly be made. John McKeoii, who said he owned property em lower Broadway, in tho eaatorn district, told the committee that he believed in rapid transit.

"Let us have the elevn ted system if there is nothing better," said he. "but the elevated system caunet meet Brooklyn's needs. It doesn't go far enough, because it cannot go till over tho city and tap the Nineteenth. Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Sixteenth aud Seventeenth, wards as surface roads can, and that is little good without rapid 'transit. It takes from forty to sixty minutes to get to the oity hall from these places and it ought not to.

By a trolley system people could get down there as soon as from the woiitt' idxth wan), and why shouldn't thoy. I believe in conducting railroads like everything else on a business basis an.t if the railroads can mako money out of it they haw a right to, provided tnat give us what we neod and wo neod rapid transit. I want to record myself in favor of the trolley uystem and I want also to deny the statement of Air. Smith about dirty carsou the Brooklyn city railroad. too.

have been in other cities here and abroad and find their cars to be equal to any in cleanliness. Charles L. Rowland, a stout faced man, whe wore bushy side whiskers and spoke in loud, distinct tanes, next took the lloor. He said he was a property owner on avenue and interested in the progress of the city of his birth and home. He believed the railroads should be given permission to use the irol.ey system, anil for tho reason that if it were adopted more houses could be rented than are at the present time.

From the arguments made against tho trolley he seemed to be impressed with the belief that tho raiirad companies were trying to foist it on the public. He knew President Lewis as a boy, and always held him in high esteem. Whenever ho met Mr. Lewis he would ask when tiioy were going to do away with horses and substitute some other motive power on the surface roads. He knew that Mr.

Lwwis hail made extensive investigation of the methods of car propulsion and was satisiied with his statement that of all the systems the trolley was the best. All trolley systems were not alike, the speaker eaid, that in the city of Itichmotio! being as unlike that at Benso.thttrst aa day is unlike night. Discussing the trolley with some people from Utica a few days ago lie found that they were somewhat dissatisfied with the system in operation there, but would not think of substituting; it with tho horse. Hero Mr. Bowlfttid told of a somewhat lengthy trip to the West he made in company with bin wife some time ago.

From tho moment they left Brooklyn until they got back again they rode in steam, cablo and trolley carH. Finally they returned home and the sneaker, standing on the sidewalk aud seeing the horse car coma jogging along, said to his wife: Wall, we've got back to good, old ono horse Brooklyn." His wife, who is a native and an able defender of its customs in date and out of dato replied: Well, if that's the way you tall; of Brooklyn you won go away again." The speaker was in favor of progress and thought tho trolley would aid it, for which reason he wished to bo recorded in its favor. William llichirdson, president of tho Atlantic avenno railroad company, next spake in favor of the adoption of the trolley from the standpoint of the railroad companies. In opening he alluded to the able arguments made by President Lewis and General Siocam, and then aid with modesty that he had but little with which to supplement these able arguments. In answer to ex Daniel O'Connell, who was desirous of knowing whether he, as president of the Atlantic avenue road, intended putting the poles of the prospective trolley system in the middle of the street or ou the curb line.

Mr. Richardson replied that the company was anxious to gratify the property owners in that respect and heed whatever would be their wish. As a company, however, they preferred to placo tho poles on the curb, because that would givo the wire p. more even as well as do away with the danger resulting from putting the polea in the canter of a narrow street. In a street of the width of Atlantic avenue the company would be in favor of putting the polos In the middle of the street.

After settling 'this question Mr. Richardson turned his atten tion to oiiiiiu. wuo ua neretoiore alluded to as a lea ler of the objecting oiement, and administered a castigatiou lor thai man's references to tbs cars of the Brooklyn city company. He ha 1 no interest in this road and wh.it he would say would be ou a ground that was altogether impartial. Richardson then went on to toli how he had been in most of the cities of tho United States as well as in Paris and London and had paid pariicular attention to the car service, and could say that nowhere have the character of die cars averaged better than on the Brooklyn oily railroad.

The remark was applatlde 1 "by tiiu crowd in the rear of the room and brought iiiniles lo the face of President Lewis. Except the cars on the Broadway line iu New lrk there were none could compare in beauty or comfort with the Fulton street cars of tho Brooklyn city road. Ex Mayor Hunter, who all the while had been listening with watchful ears to Mr. Richardson, suddenly broke out at this poiut with the query "Can the cars on Atlantic avenue come up to The first irapulae of tho crowd was to laugh, Mr. Richardson's to smile and mako a prompt reply.

"No. sir, no. sir," said he, "they do not, but they will when wo get the trolley. General Slocum can't afford to give them to you because his income isn't big to give them and we can't either." Without further interruption Mr. Richardson went on to state that four years ago the Atlantic avenue raiiroad company directed him a its president to investigate the cable or electricity as motive powers to substitute tile horse.

For that purpose he attended a meeting in Pittt burg, where representatives from tno Uniicd States aud Canada were present to discuss electrical system of propulsion. The testimony convinced all present that tho trolley was the correct motor for cars si ueo it was fast and safe. Those who object to the system say that it is cheaper than horse power and that this is the reason why the railroid companies want it. This latter formed a point on which the railioad men wo: 0 not yet satisfied, since they do not know that it is as cheap as horse power. 31' llicliardson novo beg.m a narrative of Hie advantages of the trolley eystsm oyer horse power and then substantiate.

I his words with tite opinions of prominent men the Eaoli: of a few nights ago. He then cited instances of the trUy's ancce.s in Cincinnati, and St. Paul, where the cars were running when burses were stallcdi because of the cold weather. He read opinions favorable to tho adoption of the trolley from the presidents and superintend, outs of such systems throughout the country and then concluded by saying that people are error when they think that a raiirsad company can make money without iuorea dng the accommodations. There was no secret in railroading more than in other business, the rule being please roar customers aud they will deal with you; displease them and they will not only go away from you, but they wiildo ail they can to hurt you.

During tiie speech of Mr. Richardson ex Mayor iiunter had evidently been pondering over the in.rds of General Slocum, f.r he utoorl np ami said that he wanted to be understood that he una not opposing the city's progress, but only wanted tiie streets free from incumbrances. He eaid be was sorry to have disturbed tno equanimity of his friend, Genral Slocum. He would, however, like to see wires removed from the streets. If they didn't kill Mr.

Hunter would like to know why wro adopted in the execution of criminals convicted of capital crimes. rtiohariL sou was on his f. et in ah instant with an attswor to tiie objection.

It is probable that a more representative audi, or.oo than that at the Amphiou last nieht was never seated iu sBi ooklyn theater. The Hanover club and tho fair friends of its niombess wore present to pay a compliment to Mr. Koland Rood and to witness Sydney Cosenfeld's comedy, Tne theator win tastefully decorated with flairs and Chinese umbrellas, lieu and women were in full dress, diamonds sptrklod everywhere and tho handsome costumes and pretty theater hats of the women, tojretiior with tho smiling faces, matlo a beantifni picture for the actors. Th star has been a ineaiber of tho Hanover club since its oriraniz.itidu and his fellow members wore determined to jtivo him such a reception as he would not be likely to for tfet. Thay succeeded.

LonK before 8 o'clock every seat iu the house wus sold. Many npIo r.Uod throushoul the uerformaiice. air. Iteed was at his best ami tho memboi'B of the company outdid themselves in acting. All seemed to be imbued with tho idea of making tho niiiht a suec 3s.

Mr. Heed was ioudly applauded whan he first appeared on the stage and ho slightly inclined his bead in recognition of the reception. All the iiie.uhers of the company came iu fur a share ef the applause that was Generously distributed. Tho actor made bur allusion to tho club in his character of Htnyvesant Filbert. He the lino: 'That's the sort of men we ive at our club" to "That's the sort of men we havo at the Hanover club," anil for this compliment he an extra round of ap piause.

At the end of the third act, iu response to continued applause, each member of the company crossed the staue before the curtain. Mr. Reed came lad. lie crossed, and tho a.4 plauso was Then ho returned to the middle of the and said: My dear friends It is alwavs a oleasnro for me to appear under any circumstances.

I should be very remiss if 1 did not try to say sonn 'thint' to express the pleasure and gratification that I feel at beintr with you this evening anil tneetinc such a cordial reception at your hand.

Mrs. Knowles need not be jealous of the Reneral affeolion that her husband inspires; we lovo hprt too. And now I am not atteuiofiirr to make a speech. In fact, I waB nomcwhat uncomfortable wnen 1 Knew tnat 1 should have to talk to you. As the man said who at a church fair made eishtoon lemonades from ono lemon, it was unlit squeeze, l'his is just what I feel iu the ureBOnt case.

It is a tirht snneezn forme tn acquit myself in a satisfactory manner. Your recoption of mo to nieht affects me like kind words spoken at my own fireside. I foel it and appreciate it, ami now there li one peculiarity about my speech iiiakinK which is invariable.

It's a pity, bui its true, Inow 1 want yon to think of the bnzht est and rollost anil wittiest thmcs possible them imagine that I baresaid them.

Lot ma BeiT I will tell 3'ou a story. Wheu I waa a boy at school tho census taker came around. He tackled the school children lirst and cot from them what they know of their parents. I remember ono brisiht little bey, who positively refused to tell what his father's profession was. Ho was finally convinced that ho must toil and ho then said be would, if tho censm takei would so outside with him.

Ho took the man away off to the corner of a ten acre lot and then whispered: "5Iy father is the bearded lady in a dime museum." apeak, inn of tho boarded lady reminds me of the fraternity and love I have found among my follow members of lhe Hanover club. I was told that I was falling into tho sore and yellow leaf and I told a member of the club that I was afraid was cettititr bald. Ho told ills not to mind, as in tho event of my losinu my hair he would shavo off his wlusaers to make a scalp lock lor me. liou will know what a kind offer that was when I tell you that that member was Commodore Taylor. Now I really cannot make a speech, so I will call on my worthy friend, Mr.

Koseiifeld, tin author of the play, to make one for me. Mr. Iiosonfeld was led nut before the ourtain by Mr. Reed. Ho said that in the contract under which the play was produced he had agroed to come forward whenever a club attended the theater in a body and ho would endeavor to fulfill his part of the contract.

It was difficult to follow Mr. Reed, thouirh it was nroper that ho should come after him. As Mr. Reed had done soiaethini: in the way of theBpeaker would do the samo. Iu writing a play in whioli Mr.

Reed was to tako tho leadinz part no ono could know how tho author had to struggle to keep the actor from siipposinu that ho had a comedy part in a circus. In tiie present play Mr. Rood insisted upon placing a pieco of cobbler's wax in the doctor's chair to keep the doctor from Mr. Roseufeld told Mr. Reed that that would not be dinnifiod and Mr.

Reed re. plied that he was not performing for dignity but for money. On a former occasion tho aotor was overwhelmed with a desire to play tho part of a comedian who robnkod the villain and the speaker fixed him up with tho part of Do Courcy, the last son of the noble ouse of De Courcy. He was to say to the villain: "I am a Do Courcy, uu. derstand that." On tho oponinc niuht Mr.

Reed said with much effort for effect: "I'm a De Conrcy and don't yer forget it." Tho next day the critics said Mr. Rosenfel.l may have talent as a comedy writer, but his lineB iaok dignity and strength. Before retirinsr Mr. Roseufeld called upon William Cuileti Rrvant. the president of the Hanover club, who said it was seldom that ImJ I1S tuu picas tit i oi iippcuiin ur.iuic no audionce.

The department of music of the Brooklyn in stitute held its first meeting this seaBon iu tho Young Christian Association hall, Bond street, near Fulton, last night. A largo audionco listened attentively to an interesting lectnro by H. E. Krehbiel of Now York ou "Chinese Music." Mr. Krehbiel was aided at different points in hia remarks by a Chinese baud, Miss Marie Van, soloist, and a pinnist, and tho members were entertained for two hours iu an instructive manner.

During the wbolo of his address the lecturer held the close attontion of his hearers and when he had concluded the gathering showed its appreciation by liberal appUnse. Beginning with the Chinese legend of tho ori gin of their music, Mr. Krehbiel, by successive stages, followed up tho early history of the art. He told how the flrnt musical instrument was fasliioned out of a stick, which, when blown through, could be made to imitate the sounds of birds. Gradual development up to a certain stage was the result, but he said that Chinese music exhibited a oasa of ai reatod development.

This f.ict was due to various causes, a rigid ad herence to certain forms tending to produce such an effect. Tlie Chinese ascribe a divino origin to music. Their theory of the latter contains much that is merely fanciful, but there is a strong undercurrent of truth ami sincerity. Ho said it i was difficult to Mndy Chinese mnsic, be cause one must depend upon travelers for information, and there were vory few travelers who had musical ears. Ono ingenious and admirable Chinese instrument, however, of which the present generation know nothing of its use, is the progenitor of the whole tribe of three reed instruments.

It iB a little cup shapod instrument, with pipea in its circumference. The principle is that a bit of brass ia set vibrating in a slot by breathing into tho cup of tho instrument, explained the leoturer. Thia idea exists in improved form in many musical instruments of to day. In showing the different kinds of Chinese music, it might bo subdivided into two parts the papular ballad music, or theatrical music, and the music played in the temples of worship and at tho courts. The Chinese orchestra then played some of the theatrical productions.

Tho players wero four in number and dressed in native costume and wero grouped in tho rear of tho stage. One blew on a Bhrill reed instrument, another pounded a drum, a third was engi in striking a metal contrivance, producing a ringing aound, while the fourth beat together a pair of immense cym bits about two feet in diameter. The music was serious, the lecturer said, but it amused lhe audience very much. No air could be discovered whatever, the Hole object seeming to lio in mak ing a noise. The performers played without notos of any kind and tho monotonous minglin.

of aounda was kept up for some moments, ending suddenly in a shrill blast. Resuming his topic the sneaker stated that the unaccountable discord between tho meaning of the music and its sound waa to him ouo of its fascinations. The Chinese have a lofty concep tion of music. Its meaning to them is profound. The sounds thoy produce havo no harmony, however, except where it accidentally ocenrs.

All the music played in the temples and on state occa sions is subjected to strict legislation, which in part accounts for its unchanging character year after year. The most ancient Chi nese poets in their writings declared that music waa "the echo of wisdom:" "the mother of virluo;" "the expression of the union of earth and heaven;" that "it acts on the inner nature and brings it into connection with the spirit that he who understands good music ia fit to govern," and that "music is a language which enables man to give expression to his emotions. These views find many parallels in the writings and actions of the ancient Greeks. Mr. Krehbiel then took up a discussion of the number of notes in the music of the Chinese.

The common sealo now is ono of five notes, and a curious thin about much of their music is that the native Seotch and Irish music closely resembles it in regard to a peculiar combination of notes. To illusirate this Mias Van sang a composition made by a Chinaman which introduced this Scotch rythm. The words were English and the aecom pauiment was played on the piano, the melody of tho Chinese music only being preserved. Run ning through all Chinoso music, the leoturer continued, is one primal note, which has be called since ita discovery "the It is nearly the same as our note F. All the notes in the Chinoae scale are symbolical of somethiu and thus the music may be made to mean much.

Evorything in China is done by music. Tho streets aro iiilod with bands playing for wod dings or funerals or for the entortamment of the people, said Mr. Krehbiel. Then, to show what Chinese music really waa when adapte and harmonized for Die piano, a pianiat played the selection which is always given in China when the emperor goes to tho temule to worship the ghost of Confucius, and also a funeral march. The mmic was odd and striking and much more pleasing to tho ear than the droning of the band.

Miss Van then Bang "The Jasmine Flower," a little song of which tho melody and idea wero Chinese, but the words and harmony European. Muoic plays an iniportau! part iu Chinei theatrical work," tile speaker went on to say, "Tragedy ou tho Chinese stage is not. declaimed or spoken, but chanted. When the performer reaches a climax ho commences to chant his words." Then to show what the Chinoso music of lighter vein and of the comedy order was, Mr Krehbiol directed the orotiestra to play. Six performers took part this time, and three of them usod curious looking stringed instruments which produced vory shrill and piercing notes, Thero waa an effort at tune perceptible and the rauaic waa not so grating aa the previous produc tion Iu the middle of the selection a halt made for the meu with the stringed instrument to tunc up again and then the music proreede.l.

Tho last half had tho catchy quality or' some of the popular airs of the day, and when the performance waa over the audience demonstrated its hearty approval, which gratified the Chinese musicians to a high degree. Miss Van sang another ballad, illustrating a peculiar habit in the theatrical aingiug of the Chinese of the orchestra playing right along and the sincer coming iu whenever he or alio saw fit, with no particular rnlo governing the mattor at all. Mr. Krehbiei's locturo closed with a few remarks concerning the intimate relation of mnsic to ail Chinese life, showing how the language depended to a great extent upan musical intonatieu.

How Officer Daniel Stewart Welcomed a Stranger Within the City's C3ates With Bare Knuckles A Revolting Spectacle Near the Foot or Broadway. A shivering Hunguarian immigrant stood at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon just beside the car starter's oliice near the foot of Broadway, in tho eastern district. His ferm was of gigantic proportions, bnt there was that look in his dark skinned, darkly bearded face which showed him to be a more child in his dealings with the people of the world. Perhaps he was a tramp. Ho was certainly not a hardened, whisky Boaked tramn.

His clothes wero of poor and thin, grayish foreign material, but they were oleau and whole. His face was clean too. He didn't seem te be lounging, but rather moro in doubt aa to which way to go. Policeman Daniel Stewart, of big frame too, and certainly a little athletic, stood, in all the mntanti of his uniform, near the poor Hunga rian. He caught one glimpse of him and his auger was aroused.

Get away from here," said Policeman Stewart, using one or two expressions too foul for repetition ill Eaglk columns; "get away now, quick." The shivering foreigner smilod and said nothing. His smile was an appealing, a pitiful ono, that would have touched almost anyone's heart, but it 6t emed to onrago Policeman Daniel Stewart. "Get away from here," ho repeated, with oaths and foul expressions loud enough to be heard and shuddered at by all the women and children who were passing, aud at that time of lhe atter noon a good many were passing. "Get away from hero quick now or I'll smash yon." It acorncd only an idle threat to those who heard tho words and understood them. The shivering airanger, standing there, just within the gates of one of Brooklyn's cniof thoroughfare, didn't seem, though, to tako them as a threat, for he showed by his actions that he understood no English.

He smiled again, helplessly and pitiably, and did not attempt to move. "Then take that!" said the big, brave officer, letting drive his right i) with full force and smashing the shivering Hungarian full in tho face. "Take another, ho repeated, and again the blue coat's right was planted in the shivering stranger's face. "Women saw the blow struck and turned white with horror. Men saw them, too, anil blazed with indignation, hut tho blaze diod cold for it isn't right to interfere with an officer in the discharge of his duty.

Tne veteran car starter who witnessed the assault and who, from long acquaintance, had come to have a high regard for Police Captain Gorinau'a men, muBt havo wondered for tho moment, as others did, if ho was really in tho Sixteenth precinct. Bnt the officer know where he waa and what his powers were. He most heroically umaBbed the man again and again, even while ho was retreating, and in a few momonts drove him, bruised and beaten, around the corner of Kent avenue. Thou he smiled aa he received tho congratulations of other and tougher looking laiingei'B. "What was the cause of your assault ou that man?" asked an Eagle roporter who had wit.

nsasod tho occurrence. "Why, couldn't you aee?" responded Policeman Daniel Stewart, with a glance of high scorn. "Ho wouldn't move on when I told him to. He's ono of thorn Hungarian paupers, and none of them ataya long on my post if I can help it." It is altogether likely that. Policeman Stewart's ideas of justice will havo to bo considered by Commissioner Hay.len.

In that Stewart will swear as stoutly as he struck that ho didn't do anything, and tho Hungarian won't be there to contradict him. Then perhapa he'll get off. FUll THE itEUBF FUND. Entej taianicm by S'irsl l.imff Island Ist Ntt. 4f, A.

JS. Everett Hall, at. the corner of Bridge and Wil loughby streets, was tuxod to its utmost last night iu seating tho audience that assembled to witness the musical and literary entertainment given for tho relief fund of First Long Island post No. 84, G. A.

R. It was tho first appeal ever made by tho po for funds and tho response was a hearty and generous one. By way of introduction to tho ovoniug's enter taitiment Past Commander George B. Loud stated that as the appeals of the widows and the destitute bad never beon made to the post in vain, the treasury was always depleted, and for that reason tho present appoal waa decided upon. Tho post was forrnoriy known aa Mallory post and during its eighteen years of existence it had never boforo made an appeal for public as sistance.

The first liumbor upon the programme was tho recitation of "Fyra.nns and Thisk" by MisB Marion Short, given with Buch good effect aa to call forth an encore. The familiar face of Mr. E. P. Ransom was supplemented by some vory entertaining sleight of hand performance under the title of "Sairee de Prestiges." The audience liked Mr.

Ransom, and told him so by vigorous applause. Tho soprano solo, "Dear Heart," waa then rendered by Miss Olie Blanohard in a very sweet manner, and an encore waB tho result. Miss Short thtn recited "Mother aud Poet" with excellent effect, surpassing, by far, her lighter comedy selections. Mr. Philip Hawes followed with a pleasing vocal contribution, and Miss Blanohard sang "Jamie Dear," which waa encored.

Past Commander Loud proved that ho oould de a good deal moro than merely start the evening's programme, and his readingof Jamea Whit comb Riley's "The Old Man aud Jim" was one of the best numbers of the evening. Mr. Loud has a quiet manner that, is particularly forceful aud pleasing, aud the liumbor as well as "The Man of the Musket," given as an encore, was particularly pleasing to the Grand Army boys present. A further tax upon Mr. Ransom's inexhaustible store of prestidigitation set tho audience wondering aud laughing, and Bliss Short added to the mirth with "The Goblins" and other selections.

Owing to the absence of Comrade A. P. Doherty, who was down a recitation, the programme was closed with some mystification by Mr. Ransom. The committee in charge of the affair was composed of George li.

An Interesting Hearing on the Application for the Trollej System President Lewis in Lucid, President Slocv.m Eloquent and President Richardson Cool and Logical Opposition That Looked Strong, but Dwindled Down to Almost jotiiinir.

The shadows or evening had 'seuu t0 in the common council chanibor in the city null yesterday, Vdoro the hearing on the application of tiie four railroad enniDanies for periiiHsioii to substitute the trolley system for horses, which took place before the railroad committee of the board of aklcrmidi, wan adjourned. It was throughout an interestinst session and marked by a wirit of perfect friendliness between tho representative of tho railroad companies and the objectors io the trolley system. The companies who have petitioned the common council to permit them the use of tun trolley system on their several lines are, as already told in the Eaole, the Brooklyn city railroad company, 'ho Atlantic avenue railroad company, the Coney Island and Brooklyn railroad company and the Brooklyn city and Newtown railroad company. That the question of electricity as applied to street cars is exciting a good deal of interest was made palpable at yesterday's mooting, not only from the fact that the audience seemed to increase as tlie mir.ntes spod by. hilt because tho appearance of the men indicated that thoy were from among the better classes of the people, while their words showed them to ho laborms in fields where the city's progress is an uppermost thought.

The trolley was discussed from many points of view and with such slrength by tho presidents of hie railroad companies as to win aver the minds of the very men who had com loaded with ammunition enough to riddle tho identify out of any ordinary scheme, to say notn 'iv of the irollev. The parties to the argument were well known moil. Ex Mayor Hunter was included in tho opposition, toother with Messrs. Smith and Munsey, the former an old resident of the Seventeenth ward, and the latter an electrician who claims to have invented something in the nature of a car propeller that ranks as superior to the trolley, while it has none of its alleged dangerous accompaniments. Ex Aldtrman Daniel O'Oonnell of the Ninth ward, if without the lines of the opposition, could easily be called a very inquisitive auditor.

For the railroad companies President Daniel P. Lewis did most of the talking, showing himself an adept in tho handling of facts, aa he is masterly in his handling of a bin railroad concern. Everybody was impressed with his treatment of the trolley system, and if one could speak of eloquence in comieciiou with such an instance, he was certainly oioouont. General Slocum's soldierly ire was aroused onco by a remark of ox Mayor Hunter, which ho evidently understood as meaning that the companies were anxious to not the trolley Byatem and make money despite the public neodB or comforts, flis reply was eloquent indeed, and proved one thinir if not another, that hia best sympathies are bonnd up in the city of his home. Mr.

Richardson's calm, philosophic methods in unfolding the nature of tho trolley and the character of tho objections against its adoption here were paralleled only by the ablo rulings of Alderman Coffey, who was tho very embodiment of fairness itself. The hearing did not accomplish anything definite for the railioad companies, though it elucidated very generally the system which they are anxious to adopt. The first important speech in the session yesterday afternoon was that delivered by President Lewis of tho Brooklyn City company. Ho acted tho capacity spokesman for the remaining presidents, as the Eagle has already told its readers. In opening his remarks alt.

Lewis said he was surprised from tho prominence givon the matter of the trolley, that so Jew objectors professed to tie ready with thoir objections. Some few years ago the companies made application for the trolley to tho board of aldermen. The summer vacation interrupted a consideration of the matter and Mr. Richardson and General Slocuni then made application to thu state rail, road commissioners. He conferred with the remaining companies whoso applications were before the common council.

Tho matter of the trolley was thoroughly di seuase.d and it was found that it would bo better for tho companies to get their hearing together and the privilege tegether, because, in case the power of one company was disabled another company could help it out by lending it power. Better time, ho said, would bo made, the cars would be batter lighted and the public enjoyment in reading on them would be considerably increased. Tho electric oar could climb a hill as fast as it can travel on the level and this was a matter that should recom. mend it to every mind. It would release from car service about ten thousand horses and render the streets clean, as well a8 doing away with old cars which are kept in use morely because there is no better power atprosont given to the railroad companies.

Tho effect that would be exerted upon suburban proporty in raising its value formed an important consideration. The railroad companies were interested in tho growth of Brooklyn and have fully considered the question of tho trolley with the satisfaction that it is a good system. They hare from an appreciation of its advantages crime to tho stand where they are willing to sink millions of dollars in it, and Buch would not be their motive if they thought it was going to prove a failure. Mr. Lewis hero proceeded to answer the popular cry that tho trolley is dangerous.

He said that there was never a man who came into his office with thiB argument: that ho did not send bim out ashamed of himself. The electric roads in operation showed that there was no more danger in the funning of them than in other roads. Specific instances of the danger of the trolley were what Mr. Lewis would like to see on tho lips of objectors. It wa i not trao that the com.

pauies are seeking the trolley because it is the oheapest sy. tmn. It was not for the cheapness of the system, but simply because it was the best ystem. There was nothing to equal it to day. If what many people said be true, the trolley will enable the companies to make moro money.

Allowing that a sertion, Mr. Lewis aid that the more money Iho companies made file more comforts would be given to tho people who patronize the cars of the company. The rail reads were anxious to make better time between the different sections of the city and materially increase tho conveniences of the public. To test the feeling of the people on the trolley, according to Mr. Lewis, an invitation was sent to the mavors of the cities which it was operated, asking them to point out its advantages and its defects, if any, Some sirty nino replies were received, aud all of these, with the exception of two or three, were most favorably impressed with it.

All, however, proerred it to tho horse power, aud would not think of returning to a system the striking character of which is slowness, Mr. Lewis said the arguments of Mr. Smith, who nosed as an objector to the adoption of the trol lev, should not bo heeded, because he should state fii'it of all what he knows of the trolley system, a matter (hat he failed to do. In answer to the statement that if permission were given to the railroad companies to build the trolley system the wires would he covered with kites and rags just as some telegraph lines are at the present time, Mr. Lewis said that the comini'ii council could take care of that matter, which Could be speedily as it could be easily remedied.

Mr. Smith, in concluding his speech aaainst the trolley, said many things complimentary to Mr. Lewis, who, in winding up his speech, smute his admirer hard and provoked roars of laughter by saving that he was guing to ask Mr. Smith his business, only he had made up bis mind that ho was a manufacturer of taffy. Mr.

Siuith Mr. Lewis had stated tho facts in detail, lint there are a few questions I would like to ask bim. lie speaks of the lights that would be better for the application of tho trolley system. 1 ask him if livrbt could not be furnished as brilliantly brother systems. President Lewis I don't believe that any system would be better for that very purpose than the trolley sy.

This provoked Mr. Smith to say that he meant other electric systems, anil then it was suggested among the railroad men that there would be nothing gained by proroking discussion outside the real issue. Mr. Smith then went on to say that the rail, road companies of this city were not doing what they Should do with their present facilities. He said he had been to most of the principle cities of this country and other countries and he was satisfied that nowhere were there to be found dirtier cars than could be found in the city of Lronklyn and run by the Brooklyn Ci'y Kiilroad company.

PAHTitSDUE'S IIAIUITON STATUE. EUe SScfemesii KigUer iii.l for Hie Work ST.iiii Mr. William Ordway Partridge, the young sculptor whose work, especially on the Hamilton atatno, has been already noticed in the Eagle, will sail for his Paris studio, Saturday, December 5.

ne has just returned from a visit to tho West. In Chicago, where his great siattte of Shakspsaiv is to be placed the greatest admiration was oxprcssed over tho model he exhibited of his study of the proposed statue of Alexander Hamilton, for the Hamilton club ot this city. A very handsome offer was made for it for a Chicago site an advance over Brooklyn's offer but he refused it. He had made up his mind that the statue should bo erected hera and could not be persuaded to let Chicago outbid the Hamilton club for its possession. The cast of his bust of James Russell Lowell also received the warmest praiHO from tho Chicago press and art lovers.

Ho also visited Muskegon, to deliver there a marble bust of Mr. Charles H. Hackley. Mr. Haokloy is ono of the wealthy men of the state and has siren to Muslces on a public library, a school, a park and a soldiers' monument.

Tho bust was donated by the citizens to the public library aa an evidence ot their appreciation of bis public spirit and generosity to lhe town. It was nnvailed en the evening of November 10 in tho presenco of tho leading citizens of the place. It received a unanimous verdict of approval as a most lifelike and characteristic likeness. So pleased wero the citizens with it that iliey made a contract with Mr. Partridge to at onco begin work ou a heroic bronze statue of ilr.

Hackley to stand in tho public park. It is to bo done by May 25, 1803, and will cost 510,000. Tho example of Brooklyn in tho honor she extended to "The First Citizen" is thus followed, and for tho second time in tho history of the country a public statue is to bo eroctod of a living man. Mr. Partridge was also given a public rote of thanks for a gift of a east of his bust of Lowell to the Muskegon public library.

He is very anxious to get to Paris to finish tho work on several of his models that are now in the clay in his studio. The subscription to the fund for the Hamilton statue are still coming in and Mr. the chairman of the art committee of the club, is very zealous iu promoting the scheme. Perhaps when tho members learn that Chicago has put in a bid for it against thorn, they will hurry up and close out tho contract at once. BEAT THE IMO.VXE'd BOWI.I.Vt.

Bit. STORKS. Ah Example of Work as Conducive to rvonsrevity. It has been demonstrated ovtr and over that severe mental work does not shorten life.

Indeed the most effective workers, as a rule, live the longest. Dr. Storrs is a notable example. He ia 70 yeara old, and those who are best acquainted with him know that he has growu stronger anil stronger every year. 11a is as truly at his best to day aa most meu aro at 50.

Tho of factivo work lie has accomplished during the last half century is simply incredible, or would bo if wo had not seen tho work as actually being done by him. In 1840 he took charge of Iho Church of iho Pilgrims, which was at that time in its infancy, aud consequently its subsequent phenomenal growth and influence have been due in a great measure to its loader. Hia teachings have always been evangelical and Christlike, and hiB sermons are not only models of exejlleneo aud devotion, but his beat efforts on important occasions have never been equaled by any of hia compeers. But it ib not only in tho pulpit that he has become very influential. He has also shown marked ability and commanding talents in the field of liternturo.

When editor of the Independent his articles wero widely quoted. His published aer mousand addrosaes are well known and have been extensively read. Hia elaborate report of the revision of the Enclidli version of the Bible, and hia "Graham lectures on tho wisdom, power, and justness of God, aa manifested in the constitution of tho human eoul," wore creations impossible except by an intellect of very high order. To day aa a pulpit orator thero is not his equal in America, and probably not in tho world But groat as ho is aa a thinker, writer and. speaker, it is not these qualities alouo that oil dear him to all his friends and ha ha3 no enemies.

It is hia warm and affectionate disposition, a nature that feels and expresses a benevolent interest in his fellow men. His great rhetorical efforts before the American board would have utterly failed of thoir purpoao if its president had not the peculiar characteristic of coni biiiiui cho lofty traits of generalship with those of reacemaker. He thus disarmed at tho samo time he convinced. Hia services to tho great canae of missions aB president of the American board during an uauaually stormy and difficult period have resulted in immense good to the world and have greatly strengthened the cause. It Is natural and fitting, therefore, that not only Brooklyn, but tho whole couutry dolights to honor such a man.
