BOARD OF CITY WORKS. 4 O'CLOCK EDHIOS THE MONEY MARKET. The Ultcawbers in tho Gold Exchange Active and Encouraging' speculation Stocks. Wam. Stbeet, July SI.

The gold room was nearly deserted this afternoon, and all the trade was done on a basis of $115 bid. The bids for the Treasury gold wero not numsroos, amounting to only $2,005,000 at prices ranging from 116.77 1.19 to 11S.38. Tho highest bids were so arranged thit the managers of the gold pool will get all that is sold. The programme of the Treasury for August is now being discussed by tho gold operators, and aB thiB will not ue disclosed beforo Monday, the interval promises to be dull. II is expected that at leaBt $4,000,000 gold will be Bold, and possibly the Secretary may feel disposedin view of tho probable large demand for customs to sell $8,000,000 during the month.

It Is Baid that the first named snm will not be consid crc too much of a load by the clique, but that tho latter may have a tendency to break the premium y. per cent. Some of the bears express tho opinion that on tin 1st of August the Secretary will announce that ho will redeem another lot of $30,000,030 0 per cents, of 13S2 for the reason tnat tho last coll for that amount has now been settled at the Treasury. All depends upon tho ability of the Syndicate to placo any more of tho 5 per cents. The time during which the Syndicate can have the privilege of disposing of the 5 per cents will expire on December 1, and if the Secretary docs not call in more per cent, ou the 1st of August, he must on the 1st of September, in order to give' the required 90 days notice that is if tbe syndicate intend to tako any more bonds.

To morrow, $10,000,000 of gold wilt lle wanted to settle a loan which the clique made sixty days ago. If thia loan cannot be received the coin must ba returned and if renewed the rato of renewal will give an indication of tho intentions of tho clique with respect to the gold coiner. It has been stated that the proposed lease of Like Shore to the Central and Hudson will bo defeated by the laws of Ohio and Illinois which enables a stockholder to check any proposed lease by witthholdiug his assint. This would be a course so decidedly against publio policy that the objector would ba overruled in tho courts. Hence Commodore Vanderbilt determines to lease the Lake Shoro road.

He will do it despite the 'opposition of auy stockholder, for with him where there is a will there's a way. The speculation for a rise in stocks has besn partially checked by the realizing sales, for the bulls have been so often deceived that they cauno: resist the temr tation to sell henevor they can get a profit. Pacific Mail started upward to day, makiug an advanoe of one per cent, on the second call, but falling off and closing weak. The advance in St. Paul was per but tbe fluctuations of the remaining stocks on tho active list were not more than per cent, all day.

most Important Immediate use of them, In infonnlng and educating the people aa to the necessity of properly arnhigthomselveB against tho perils of disease andl the causes which prodooa them. It la batter to be armed than to be uselessly alarmed. To this end the tables givenoutby the Registrar for newspaper use might be framed with a view to popular appreciation. Hia very doubtful If a majority even of Intelligent readers can be much profited by Bome of the information given in last week's report. For instance, of what popular use is It to know that there was one death from colitis, one from psoas abscess, twenty from tabes mesenteries, two from encephalitis, one from trismus mascentum, one from hydropericardium, ono from endo carditis, one from enteritis, five from gastro onterltiB, one from hepatitis, and one from spina bifida.

Such exhibition of super servioeable learning, or command of medical nomenclature as this may serve some purpose, but what it is exactly would puzzle the general public to comprehend. It sounds not unlike the famed sign of THE LEARNED CLOCKKAKEIt, who having but little business, hence, not muoh profit from that little, had the following quaint superscription placed over hiB shop door Here are fabricated or renovated trohiliao horologies, portable or permanent, linguacious or taciturnal, whose circumgyrations are performed by spiral, elastic or pendulous appondages, invested with aureut or argent, elipBical, iccatical, sucillapciscan novus cor dium integuments," Dr. Watt can hardly be said to have rendered his department more popular by running nomenclature mad. Such a course may prove that such novices in medical matters as the illustrious Daniel Downey, late registrar, could not do "the learned thing," but that is all. Dr.

Watt, it is suggeatee', should learn the importance of calling a spade a spade," and, sticking to it ou that line, hnzartl tho danger of the common people knowing what meaus when ho communicates with them through his weekly reports. MAItEIAOES. It iB difficult to imagine what good reaeou a happy young couple can havo for withholding the record of their nuptials from the Registrar. It might occur to them that in tho event of a marriage certiflcato being lest in any way, the minister or the magistrat 2 who mar ried them, might have removed to a distance, so remote that it would bo inoonvenicnt, if not impossible, to have a new copy of the precious document or tho officiating parties may die, then do certificate could be had. If the marriage is on record in the Registrar's department, then that officer's certified copy of tho marriage certificate is available in law for whatever purpose it may bo Ladies who are about to be married, should note this themselves have the recording attended to, if the young husband seems indifferent about it.

If Kate Stoddard had only had her marriage with Charles Goodrioh recorded, when It took place, from a certificate properly filled out, it might have made a difference in her present position, although if suoh a marriage took place, as she alleges, and can be proved, the, law will protect hor rights in that particular. The be' ter regulation of sooicty requires that all parties who contract marriages should not omit tho registration of their certificates. There is nothing in the form to shrink from.

What tho Board of lEcaltli lias Bone Beard and Martin maintaining the Nuisance while they Quarrel with Each Other as tit Who Shall Begin the Work of Bemoving How the Poisonous malaria Affects the Health of the Locality Statements from r. Skene more Diseases in that Vicinity than in any other in the City, In reference to the old story of the great grain nuisance, Dr.

Scgor, of the Board of Health, said to an Eaolk representative yesterday, that orders have been served on tho owners of tho slips wherein the decaying grain lies to havo it removed. Tho owners of the slips are Mr. William Board ou the south side, and Georgo Patchen on the north sida. Mr. Martin, of the firm of Spencer, Martin French, dealers in lime, brick, is, however, the present lessee of the north side of tho slip, and therofore it is with Beard and Martin that wo havo to deal.

Messrs. Beard and Martin were both beforo the Board of Health last Tuesday in tho afternoon, aud both professed that they were ready to begin dredging the slip of its terriblo nuisance. They estimato tho quantity of grain now festering and rotting there to bo about FIFTY THOUSAND iVSUELB. This large quantity nearly fills the place. Before the fire of Woodruff le Robinson's stores Mr.

Beard said that the water at his Bide of tho Blip was from sixteen to eighteen feot. Now on his sielo it is filled up so that it is exposed wilh tho grain and dobn3 of tho wall that fell iu there. On Mr. Patchens eido there is six foet of water at low tide. Both professed thit they war a reidy to go to work, and the Board of Health gave them until yesterday to do something.

The barges wera all removed long ago by order of tho Board. The doctor also said that, according to Mr. Beard's Btateme.nt at tho meeting rofcrrod to, ho had been preparing for some time to clear out his side of the plaoe, and fpr that purpose had a heavy lifting apparatus constructed. The doctor could not say wb.2t.her the. two men had done anything siuco the meetiug of the Board the day before, as he had nat paid the Blip a visit and therefore, to find out just what Beard and Martin had done in tho matter, tho reporter vrent down to their places.

From the statements of both Messrs. Beard and Martin, the public can readily see precisely to what extent they have gone to work to remedy the crying evil. Mr. Beard has done something according to the orders of the Board of Health, but it is only something, and very little of that. Both he and Mr.

Martin are apparently quite indifferent in the matter. The public health is a point they do not seem to consider at all. The only side of the wlQle question at which they look, is in reference to the dollars and cents that it will coat to take away the disease breeding pile. Each one claims that it is Iho duty of the other to bsglu first. One saya that if ho begins to remove tho stuff from his side first, the grain lying on tho oth.r man'B Bide will roll down aud fill up the place he has cleared.

Just so with my side, says the other mau. If I begin work first, what Is now lying on your side will fall back into mine. And so for soma time past, theBe two estim able citizens have been quarreling in that petty manner' WHAT BEARD SAID. During tho conversation between tho reporter and Mr. Beard, that gentleman said, "If I had Martin's side of the slip I could take it out very quick, because there iB nothing but grain there.

My side is filled up mostly with very large etonoa and brlok, oemonted together in solid pieces. Some of the stones will weigh two tons, and some of them, which ate long blocks, have their lower ends embedded in, the grain on Martin's side. As those blocks of stone now no 1 can't get noia or mem. What Martin is up to is to mako me dig out tho slip. Martin makes believe that he can't do anything until my Bide is oleared, when the truth is I can't do anything until his side is cleared.

If Martin will remove enough of the grain away, so that I can get hold of the heavy stones with the apparatus which I have caused to bo constructed, I will tnen go to work. It I take tne acqumulation on my side away first, his (Martin's) grain will wash right down In the placo again. NotwithstandlnK this waiting for the other to begin the job. Mr. Beartl has caused to ba taken away some of tne ruoDisn auti decaying matter lying on the south Bide.

Ho says that ha can clear away to low water mark, but beyond that he cannot go until Martin does something, on account of the blockB of stouo that are wedged in. Iu answer to the question aa to when he would be able to rach the low water mark, Mr. Baard said in about two weeks, because his men could not work over an hour at a time inthe "filthy matter." This gentlaman further said that it would take months to clear the slip on account of the great stench. He also thought that it would be exceedingly unwise to stir up to any extent the rotting mass just at this season of the year. If he and Mr.

Martin should clear away to low water mark tho smell would be largely overcome, as there was very little odor arising from the placo during high water, WHAT UAETIK SAID. We can't dredge our side with safety to ourselves (meaning the firm) for this reason: the debris brick and stone on tho south side (Beard's Bide) has fallen in in such quantities and in such a position across the slip that when we excavate to a greater depth than we now hare this material will fall in and nil up our excavation. Besides we cannot now bring in a dredging machine, the slips beinar hut about 60 feet wide, on account of this debris, Btono and brick. Take that away and then we can work. While the reporter stood talking with Mr.

Martin the odor whioh came from tho mass of filth nearly knocked him down. MillionB of bubbles filled with a poisonous gas kept rising to the surface of the water filled the air with deadly perfumes. Live maggots by the bushel wero squirming over that portion of the deadly pile which lay exposed to the rays of the sun, This certainly must bo exceedingly, dangerous to the health of that locality, thought tho reporter anel ho determined to soo several prominent pbysiuians and hear what thy had to say in reference to that point. Accordingly he called upon DOOTOE SKEND who said among other things "I believe that tho decaying grain is really injurious to the health iu that neighborhood. I formed that opinion by the fact that there is more disease in that vicinity this year than usual so far as I hare any meaus of judging, and that the ordinary caseB of Bummer dieases are Beveror and iees amenable to treatment.

That cannot be accounted for by any peauliar nuhcalthineBB of tho season, because the goucral health of the city is good. Nearly all tbe cases of diarrhoea and dysentery which I have aecn in (he neighborhood of the grain uuisauoe hayc been complicated with more fover than usual in such cases, aud they havo not yielded readily to tha ordinary treatment, I have alao Beon quite a number of some what ill defined fevers reaembllng Wlloaa remittent. but differing in this particular, that they don't yield to the appropriate treatment of that class of affections. Nearly all the cases of cholera morbus whioh I seen this year have beon within range of the odor of tho decaying grain. I also believe that I have noticed a certain septic influence prevailing in that part of tho city, complicating nearly all forms of diseases occurring there.

I am called upon tho Hill to attend oases of diarrhoea, and in two or three days they get well, but In tho vicinity of the rotten grain the cases hang on, doing badly. Even if it Bhould be denied that the decoying vegetable matter was poisonous the odor is such as to be really disgusting to people in health, and certainly greatly distressing to persona that are ill. Some time ago I had a patient, a little five years old, of flioted with dysentery. Ho waa restless and pained dur ing the night, and complained a god deal about the odor, and finally asked hie mother to cover up his head to keep away the awful smell. Tho reporter called on two other physicians, who fully accorded with what Dr.

Skene said In view of tho above facta would It not be well to force Messrs. Beard Martin to clean out the slip at ono 1 "ROUGHS' RAID ON A BANNER."

CITY HALL MOTES. XIic Police Coniiuiauioilirsliip Thf Latest Move Mayor JPoivell to 1 Called Will Solomon Spltzer oe Appointed Instead of David Williams 7 Tito Department Horses miscellaneous matters. 1 he third Police Commissioner has not yet been appointed; but there has been a new move made in that direction. In order to understand it, it is necessary to recapitulate the occurrences of the past three we ks in reference to the matter. 8oon after tho signing of the New Charter, which gave the Mayor, Oontrollor aud Auditor tho power to complete the Police and Excise Commission by appointing a third Commissioner although it was first believed that the ControUcr and Auditor only were the appointing power a coucub of Republican reijrisentafives from the several Assemhy districts met, and unanimously recommended David Williams, a lawyer, residing iu Seventeenth Ward, for the position of Police Commissioner.

Tho same caucus also chose Hon. Jacob Worth for Fire Commissioner, aud four other Iiepublicans to Assossors. Bcf oro the caucus it was understood that the Controller and Au ditoivwcre both pledged to accept its nominees, but when it met tho Controller stated that he would not bind himself to any particular nominee. When the name of David WilliamB was announoed as the choice of the caucus, tho Controller at once Btated to all who ap prouched him on tho subjcot that he would not agree to appoint Mr. Williams.

He did not Btate why, that is, to representatives of tho press; but it soon became known that the grounds of bis objection were that Mr. Williams was insolvent aud there were unsatisfied judgments against him, and further that as counsel of mers and Citizen's Bank he had been the means of effecting loans on which there was not good security, and had thuB conduced to the bankruptcy of that institution. On tho other hand, the friends of Mr. Williams argued that he should be appointed because he waa the unun mous choice of the caucus, had always been a hard worker for tho Republican party, and that the charges of his mismanagement of the bank affairs were without foundation in fact, and gotten up by other men to shield tnemselves. But the Committee would not accept Mr.

WilliamB as his candidate, He suggested Aid. Taylor, of the Thirteenth Ward, and argued his fitnesp. There arose a rumor that Aid. Taylor had bjen inconsistent, and possibly worse, in opposing the laying of rails by the South Side Railroad, and then suddenly ceasing to oppose it when the Company gave him some law business to transact. This had the effect of cooling the Controller's enthusiasm for tho Alderman, and it is understood that he has "dropped him." But the Controller has not been able to agree with the Auditor to appoint Mr.

Williams, and the consequence has been that they are at a deadlock." Thus matters Btood when; on Saturday laBt, the Controller went to Shelter Island to spend a week. Immediately a rumor aroBe that the Mayor was about to agree with the Auditor to appoint Mr. Williams, on condition that Chief Campbell and two or three other Democrats should not be removed from the Police Deiiartment, and color was given to thiB by the general belief that the Mayor would censeut to such an agreement. The Auditor, however, hat expressed himself aB not having power or inclination to be a party to any such arrangement. But still, tho rumor has continued to circulate during tne past four or five days.

While the rumor was circulating, a new move ifl said to have been made. This movement, it is said, will result iu an agreement between the Mayor and the Controller, before many days. It is now reported that Solomon Spitzcr, a Gi resident of the Eastern District, has been taken up by the Controller in preference to Alderman Taylor, and that the Mayor will accept the new choice on the same conditions that were mentioned iu the rumor in connection with Hf. Williams's name. If Solomon Spitzcr is not the man solccted, it may le Bomebody else chosen by the Controller to "euchre" the caucus nominee but why not Solomon Sitzer, is the qu stion that will now bo asked by that gentleman's friendB.

SUPPLIES FOR TEE FIKE DEPARTMENTS. The following correspondence explains itself, aud shows one of the workings of the new charter Office of the Brooklys Fiuk Ieiauthext, Euooklyx, July 23, 1873. lion. S. S'.

I'owell, Mayor Dear Sir Under date of July 7, in view of the contemplated recess of the Common Council, the Bjurd of lire Commissioners communicated with that liedy in reference to a supply of feed aud bedding, aud the shoeing of the horscB cf the Department, informing them iu such communication of the r.eccBFiiy of milking provision for the shoeing aud fol ding the horses before the supply of feed on baud was exhausted. One i'uk thereafter namely, July 14, a rt solution was adopted by the Common Council, instructing the 2roper officers of the city, io wit the Department of City Works, to advertise for proposals for furnishing feed, bcildiug, and Bhoeiug horses of the 1 ireDiparUiient. On the 2ith July the resolution took effect. The charter provides (si c. 1 of title 17) that all contracts shall be made only after ten days' advertisement, inviting bids or proposals, and the publishing of bids or proposals which may be received, for six days.

It therefore follows that, using all possible dispatch, the horses af the lire Department would bo without food, bedding, and shoeing until August 10. From the fact that the supply of feed and bedding of ihe Department will be entirely exhausted upon July 31, and upon that date most of tho horses will need shoeing, the Board of Commissioners of the Fire aud Building Dcparlm in pursuance of section 6 of title 18 of the chart. certify that the interests of the city require that authority should be given them to purchase, upon tho first day of August, a sufficient quantity of feed and bedding for the month of August aiso to havo the horses of the department shod, and ask your consent to incur such liability.

In the comparative, statement of tho city pay roll, as disbursed by the Controller, under the old and new charter, which was published exclvsively in the Exgxe yesterday, an apparent error was made by the types iu the total for this year. It Bhould havo been instead of ilOofiiM.

Next year it will be $370,000. This does not include the increase made iu th? Police and Fire Departments and the Board of City Works, excepting the street department of the hitter Board. It was ray day at the Hall to day, 522,000 being disbursed. The contractors for building tho storage reservoir were paid $43,044 on account tojday. "Where's that dead hog?" is th i question that agitated the Board of City Works and the Police Board this morning.

As those avenues fail to "junction by about three blocks, President Palmer inquired, by note, of President Jourdan, Where is that hog President Jourdan'a clerk answered, "In the 10th 3ib prcemct."

Arriving' there at about ten o'clock the children proceeded to enjoy themselves in first clas3 juvenile style romping, swinging, bathing tho tide being high playing tag," and indulgins in all sorts of games, The hoys of the Charity Foundation Asylum were dreBsed iu a uniform of white pantB aud jackets aud straw hats, and the girls in white dresses aud blue jackets, and looked very interesting, with their bright, smiling face s. In the refreshment room, Mrs. Kirkby, Mrs.

Hudson, Miss Meigs, and other ladies wero engaged in laying out BnndwicheB, under the eye of Mr. rton, who furnishes the edibles on these occasions. At twelvo o'clock, the youngsters were CALLED TO IAJHCH, and tho way in which tho sandwiches and lemonado suffered would have driven a dyspaptic inaans. For enceuraging juvenile appetites to say nothing of adults a run along the shores of Canarsie beats every thing, especially when a fresh breeze is blowing, aud the tide high, was on this occasion. It was the unanimous opinion of the little fellows who were interviewed by the Eagle man that tkty could suffer such excursions every day in the week with perfect impunity.

After dinner, a repetition of tho morning's amusements, with an addition of a boat sailing party or two, was in order, and PAT CAVANAGh's BOATS were in demand. Mr. Kirkby, and a party of ladies and gentlemen of tho musical persuasion, manned a large blue fishing boat, under the command of a geutlerr an from Germany, and cruised the channel, to the airs John Brown," withvariationfl.

From the facts ascertained in the case, it is apparcLt that the girl put an end to her life while a nt of despondency. Since she come to this country ehe has teen engaged as servant in several families, and, although the was an intelligent girl and bearing a good character, she never Uved bat a few weeks in eiech lace. Her sitter Jane fllcAuerny accounts in a measure for this continued changing by saying that "Ann was exceeding proud, aud did not like to work as a servant." Ann's last place was with a Mrs. Classon, No. 44 Henry i treet, where Ehe staid about three weeks.

The last week was spent out of the city in Chen Cove, whtra 5frs. Classon and family had gone to spend the Summer, last week the girl returned to the city, thinking she would rather live here. She made several attempts to procure a lace, but not finding what Bhe wanted bee am discouraged, and, as she stated laat evening to her sister, who was visiting her cousin, Mrs. Thompson, No. 171 Hicks street, tired of life.

She had procured, at the time, a dose of Paris green, and after talking with her sister and cousin a short time, excused herself and went into a Bide room, ostensibly for the purpose of washing out a handkerchief. There she took the poison. After a short time she becamo very Bick and tegau to vomit. Although her sister and cousin repeatedly inouired what was the matter, she refused to explain her illness. Finally, however, Bhe became so much more worse that Doctor Ford was sent for, whon, upon his arrival sho tcid them what she had taken, repeating that she was "tired of life," and did not want to "live out "auy longer.

How he was Captured by an Office Boy In the Eing Arrest of Gus Hayes for Stea'ing a Diamond A Series of Minor Offenses Protecting Policy Players from Their Fellows Arrest of the Dennis Bobber A Trunki Robbeiy. Yesterday afternoon a good sized fellow entered the Deiitist g' Supply of Jolmaon BxoB.t No.

340 Fulton street, just at tho bend where Court street com mencf and brought a not? to the office aeltlng for the "boy" who bad charge there. Cyrus W. Treiuper, aged eixteeu, Btated that ho waa the "boy," and tho Btranger handed him a note in which he read that friend of his at the Fulton Ferry had brolien his lep and wished him to go dovu right off and see him. Trcrapor could not read the signature of the note, as it waa evidently blurred on purpose, so he asked the mau who this friend" was. "I don't know his name, only I saw him full from the platform of a car, aud ho broke his leg, aud waa taken to the Franklin House, and with a crowd followed him in, aud he asked some one to take a note to the boy at Johnson Brothers' dental oflice, aud I said I'd do it the name's blurred bocau3e he was in a hurry and in pain, and blotted the letter with a newspaper before the ink was dry." Young Tremper suspected all was not right, but act i with far more discretion than is'usual for one of his years, told the man that he'd go down to the ferry, and neither of the Johnsons waa in (the man had watched for them to go out), he took the precaution to lock the office.

He then went out and down Fulton street, the man coming downstairs with him (tho office is on the first flour), and pretending to take a car to go home. Young Trcroper walked a couple of blocks down the street, and then slipped through Tillary to Washington street and to the First Precinct Station House, whore ho saw Acting Captain J. E. Cornell, and to him he stated tho whole occurrence and showed him the note, 'Go down to the corner," said Cornell, "and tell Officer Howard to watch the place, and 111 bo right Tremper went to Officer Howard and told him, and when he waB showing the latter wheve the officer waa, Howard saw a man in the office, and oalling the boy's attention to it Tremper said, "That's the very man I Hc'a in Johnson's private office." St rgcant Cornell came along and went right over with Officei Howard, who arrested tho man in the office. After the boy had gone the thief, who gives his name Edward Bird, smashed the wiudow in the haJlv.w avid got into the ofiicea.

The door of the safe was open, but the drawers in it were locked. With a heavy weight Bird puiashed them and abstracted about $350 worth of gold plate (used for filling) and a quantity of platica. He also had a oheck for J57 in his pocket payable to the order of Johnson Bros. All the property was fouud in his possession, and he was marched over to the First Precinct Station Houso and there locked up. From conversation, or rather expressions ho usod to Ssrgeant Cornell in conversation, it is that he is a professional, but tie haB never "worked" in this city before.

He said: "I'd like to get a year on this. Can't you bounce me to Crow Hill I'd like a year." He waa brought before Justice "Walsh this moruiug and held for examination. A Diamond King 'uicf. Gus Hayes, aged 2 years, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Officer Grotf un, of the Third Precinct, on complaint, of Ferdinand, Dipperman, who keeps a liquor store on tho India wharf, Atlantic Dock. Ferdinand charges Hayes with having stolen a diamoud ring, valued at SI50, from Mrs.

This was entirely a wrong surrositicn, and Bhonld teach Dipperman a lesson not to coniide too atrongly in a strange boarder. When arrested, the prisoner acknowledged the crime, and said that he had sold the ring to a woman uumed Mrs. Fritz, who keeps a dining room at No.

She then left Jay street and moved to Bedford where she hired rooms and invested her stolen capital in furniture. She was brought before Justice Walsh who held her for trial. Protecting Policy Shops.

Dr. Henderson accordingly read the editorial referred to, inttrrupted occasionally by remarks of disgust, and a few personal reflections ou tho assuinod writer. The President then mado a few remarks, in tho course of which he denounced tho Eagle, saying that the article in question was a direct sneer at tho'St. Patrick's Day parade in particular, aud.

James BEaaei Tillary street. The Reeves Divorce Case. William Kelly, the Alleged Highway Robber, Eeleased on a Writ of Habeas Corpus. 1863, in the oity of New York, George H. Beeves and Jane Eliza Iowrey were married.

1 hey lived together as man and wife until January 1872, rnd now have one child, a girl about eight years of age. In that month Mrs. Iteercs became convinced that her husband was not faithful to bis marriage vows, and she left htm snd took up her abode with her parents in Greenpoint. In April last Bhe commenced an action against him for an absolute divorce on the ground of adultery, Charging him with IMPROPER ITIMAOT. with Miss Anna Whips at a houso in Elliott place, near Atlantic avenue, in this city, and also with having beon a frequent visitor at a house of ill repute in Third stresr, New York.

Mr. Beeves employed counsel, nnd put in an answer to hia wife's complaint. Ho denied the adultery, but also said that after the time mentioned in the complaint and beforo Una action, tio plaintiff, being informed as to the aaatters therein alleged, freely condoned said alleged adultery, and forgavo the defendant and cohabited with him, and that ho has always been a husband to the plaintiff and constantly treated hor with conjugal k4ndne6B. the case was referred to General Isaac S. Catlin, as referee, and throe sittings have been had.

This morning ThomaaE. Pearaall, as counsel for Mrs. Beeves, applied to Chief Judge Neilson of tho City Court for $600 counsel fee and $12 a week alimony.

Davis tho counsel of Mr. Reeves presented an affidavit made by him in which he denies that he refused to provide for his wife, and claims that HE OFFERED TO DO SO, if Bhe would live with him. He Btated also that his wife is now living with his father who is rich and perfectly able to Bupport her. Chief Judge Neilson ordered that Mr.

Beeves pay a coudBel fee of $500 anel alimony at the rate of $12 a week. Discharge of William Kelly. Late on Saturday night last, James Kodgers was set upon by two men in South Brooklyn, and robbed of a silver watch and ttcel chain of the value of ten dollars. On Monday last Bodgers appeared before Justice Drlmar and made oath that James Wharton had committed the robbery, and a warrant waa issued for his arrest. Yesterday morning a policeman arrested William Kelly, and brought him before Justice Walsh who was holding court in the place of Justice Dclmar.

Justice Walsh, in the absence of tho complainant Bodgers interlined the name of William Kelly in the complaint made on Monday by Kodgers, and Kelly pleading guilty, Justice Walsh committed him to Raymond street Jail, and odjonrncd the examination for one week. Tho commitment 6tated that William Kelly was charged ou tho oath of Janies Bodgers, "before me "with having on tho 26th day of July violently aud feloniously mado an assault upon the said James Bodgers, and with violenoo to this person, and against his will feloniously stealing, taking, and carrying away one silver watch and steel chain of tho value of $10, tho property of JameB Bodgers.

Levi Faron, tho Chief Clerk in the District Attorney's Office, appeared in opposition, but Etateel that ho could not deny that tho facts were as above stated.

Chief Judge Neilsou dirooted that Kelly be dis charged. VITAL STATISTICS. Importance anil Necessity ot a Thor ough Record of marriages, Births and Deaths A Uetrospcct of tho Unrecorded Period The I.aw Providing; for the New Order of Itegistration Nomenclature Extraordinary in the mortality Reports Copy of Marriage Return. The Begistrai of Records, under the aus pices of the Board of Health, Dr. Jamss Watt, is charged with tho duty of recording marriages, births and deaths.

Important as this duty is, and competent as Dr. Watt may be for its performance, it is very doubtful whether the masses of the people, in whose interest tho department is organized, have anything like an adequate appreciation of its great importance to them in a variety of respects. During tho existence of the Metropolitan Board of Health thiB ssbjeot underwent a thorough discussion, the result ot which was a most decided effort on tho part of Dr. Elisha Harris, in New York, and of Dr. R.

Cresson Stiles, in this city, to collect the records so as to be complete and ample forall the purposes which rendered them importaut. So far as the death reoord was concerned, that was a success, but iu relr.tiou to births and marriages the effort, although not resulting in failure, fell far short of what could be regarded aB a triumph. The Board of Health Becured a perfect record of deaths by determining to execute the law in exacting penalties for its violation at the hands of ferry masters or companies, and tho cemetery oompanios. Thus the former required the presentation of the burial permits before allowing bodies to crosa In their boats, and the latter would not proceed with their interments until the permits were delivered. There being no law requiring permits for marriage and birth the record of them could not be so well controlled, and for all sorts of silly and MIsb Nancy reasons the proper returns were withheld, ministers, priests and physicians, as 'well as the parties more immediately concerned, being all alike careless or contumacious.

A GIASOE BACKWARD. Brooklyn has no records of what are called vital statistics previous to 1865, and tho only approach to any vestige of such record is that for the seventeen years previouB to 165, in the possession and tho exclusive property of Dr. Jones, oue of tho present Coroners. His record, however, is confined to deaths and their causes. Up to the time of tho organization of the Boarel of Health there are no records of births and marriagcB excepting those retained by physicians and ministers of religion.

Not a very enviable circumstance to realize in auy emergency that might make the presence of a record felicitous to interested parties. In New York, just leravioua to tho organization of the Board of Health, it waa the custom of City Inspector Boole to isBue burial permits by the bunch to undertakers. These permitB had tho lithographed signature of the Oity Inspector, aud were used without any reference to death certificates. By reason of this, for a long period the weekly statements of city mortality' were mero estimates rather than reliable statistics. For twenty three years previous to 1865 cemetery records, and the returns of certificates.

of death through the cemetery keeper or sexton, supplied tho information of deaths to the City InBpeotor. The frequent applloatlon at the new Bureau of Recorels and Statistics for transcripts of death records which had never beon registered, revealed the incompleteness of' the publio registry. In the matter of births and marriages, the duty of making returns to any publio officer doeB not appear to have been much observed from a very early dato until the year 1841. From 1788 until 1821 inclusivo there was no record. In 1822 there were two persons married.

From 1823 to 1810 there were none. In 1830 and 1832 there was one birth in each, and from 1813 to 1831, inclusive, there wero only fifteen births recorded. The law providing for the public registration of marriages and births in the State ofjNew York, was enacted by tho legislature iu 1847, but, aa the scoond record shows, with very incomplete results. In 1853, another act provided and stringent regulations for such registration in the Oity ot(New York, and at once tbero was a jnmp from 44 persons married in 1852 to 6,584 married, and 0,287 born in 1853 and 1854 shows that there wore 11,028 persons marxicd and 17,0711 born. From that time to 18C6 there waB a rapid decrease, showing that the law had ceased to be generally respected and obeyed.

This was tho fault of lazy and indolsnt officials who attended to politics moro than to their public duties. This state of things drew from Dr. Harris, in November, 1800, the following deliverance upon tho subject THE NECESSITY OF VITAL STATISTICS. Society no longer submits its destinies to the superstitious doctrines of chanco in any of the great affairs and events of human existence. Tho State and tho municipality open their account current end ledgers of tho life, lineage, death anel tho oausea of death of tho people, in order that the laws of healthy existence and BOcial welfare may ho elucidated, while publij registration is mado of three great landmarks which nature has placed in tho pathway of life.

And if, in the transactions of trade and traasfer of lands and estate, the civil government demands the' formalities of deeis, of title proofs, covenants and solemn oaths, and the literal registration of them, how much, more, and with what exactions shall the requirements of society be enjoined in regard to its oare, Btudy and publio records of man, in his birth and lineage, his fomily, his offspring aa'd his death. And Bueb recordB as society and tho science of life now require need to be both accurate and exceedingly complete; and most Justly do they demand that whoever is most intimately officially or responsibly conoerned inthe individual and the evont to be registered, shall aid in whatever Is required to render tho vital registration moBt complete and useful." nSES OP TITAXi STATISTICS. 3EATHB. The weekly reports of city mortality, Or deaths, and their causes, are useful many ways'. Men have been known to watch these reports with keenneBB when about to purchase domiciles here, with a view to permanent residence with their families.

When the Metropolitan Board of Health used to issue its zymotio sheet in connection with the ropqrt, it waB studied with great care to ascertain Ihe most healthy looatlons in whioh to purchase property. Tho table of deaths from preventive given by wards, was an unerring guide at least it was so regarded. It waa believed to indicate one of two things, or perhaps both, viz. whethor disease and death, whioh carried off men, women, and children In oeriain wards were superinduoed by want of sewerage, want of Ronoral improvements, or the exlat enoe of dense and ill regulated population. Many a real estate transaction haB been based upon deductions made on this basis.

Beyond this advantage, if it was one, the zymotio table is a grand guide to tho Board ol Health in show ing its executive officials the legalities where caution and precaution wero neoessary in order to prevent centres of death becoming powerful for evil to adjacent neighborhoods. Information thus obtained urnished officials with the boundaries of disease important to bo hemmed in first, and then stamped out. Then there were the UBes of suoh statistlos to sanita ry scientists in other cities, and other countries, as well SB to the future Health officials of tho oity itself. The tables are useful also, and this is probably tho THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 31. T)ivobceT Spencer Against Spencer Again in Court.

There were no new affidavits presented in bi'half of the husband, but in behalf of Spencer there wore presented a number of voluminous ones. Mr. opened tho argument by reading THE AFFIDAVIT OF IMS.

SPENCER. She says that before her marriage Carrie Hull, the sister of .1. C. Hull was her most mtimato friend and associate, and through her Bho became acquainted with Mr. Hull, who always treated her kindly and io a polite and gentlemanly manner, and more as a sister than otherwise.

In regard to their S10PEIK6 AT THE BBANDItETH HOUSE ahp says that she came down from Poughkeepsij, whero she was teaching school, to see her father at his store in Brooms Btrcct, that hfr father detained her until his usual hour for lea ring for hiB houao in New jersey. She then Btarttd for the depot to return to Poughkeepsio and on her way there met J. O. Hull, who accompanied her. When tHey reached tho depot the train had left and Mr.

Hull proposed that she should go to his sister's and stay with her. On going there sho found her absent, aiid as she waa unacquainted with the peoplewhereshelived Mr. Hull remarked that there was nothing to do but to to a hotel and remain orer night, and that ho would also remain over night at tho hotel and put lior on an early morning train. They accordingly went to tho Brandreth their supper, and Hull engaged two rooms entirely separate from each other. They oc occupied their respectively separate rooms.

She does not know wherher Hull registered his name or any name. In the morning Hull accompanied her to tho depot and saw her on (he train for Poughkeepsie. They were not giulty of any criminal, immoral, immodest or indecent conduct whatever, and the allegations in the plaintiff's affidavit, charging her with immoral and improper conduct at the Brandreth House, are wholly fake and untrue. AS TO THEIB STOPPING AT THE PACIFIC HOTEL, she says that the allegations that sho was with Hull at thoPaciflo Hotil, in Greenwich street, on or about the 1st day of November, 1872, that he registered the name of J. Bostwick and wife, of Buffalo, are wholly false and untrue.

On one occasion she called Mr. Hull out of his store, wishing to consult him as a friend in regard to her domestic troubles, he came out on tho sidewalk, and then remarked, "We oan'fc talk here, let us go to the hotel." They accordingly want to the hotel, where ho dined and was well known, and remained there in conversation only twenty or thirty minutes, when she left for home and reached home before dinner. They were not guilty of auy crimiual, immoral, indecent, immodest or improper conduct whatever, and all allegations that she committed adultery with Hull at that hotel are untrue. IN BEOABD TO HEB CALLING AT HOUSE, sho says that on one occasion she met him in the streets of Brooklyn, and upon expressing surprise at his being thrre, he remarked that he lived there just urouud the corner, cud had a nice house, of which he occupied the basement, parlor and upper story, while another family occupied the second floor. He asked her to call and see hiB house aud furniture.

She went with him into the parlor and no other part of the house, and was there but a few minutes, and that was the only time she ever colled at Hull's house. She was guilty of no improper conduct. She further says that her husband's charges of her having committed adultery with .1. M. Wilder are WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST and She was first introduced to Wilder last March, having never before that time spoken to him.

Wilder Is tho chorister of Dr. Cuyler's Church, where she attends. One of the lady singers, while con tcrsiug mth her at the church, asked her if she was going to take lessons of tho organist, to which she replied No, if she took lessons she would take them of Mr. Wilder 60 AS TO F.ESTOIIE HKH VOICE. Thereupon the lady introduced her to Wilder, aud she mentioned to him the matter of taking singing lessons, and tho following day called upon him at a private school where he was teaching, and made arrangements for a quarter's leesons in singing.

AN ADDITIONAL SEASON FOR TAKIN'G LESSONS. Mrs. Spencer further says that she is possessed of considerable musical talent, and study and careful training had made her quite a skilful musician, both in vocal aud instrumental music, but by reason of almost continuous sickuess since her she had lost her voice and by rtasonof neuralgia aud rheumatic auction in her shoulder, she was unable to play upon the piauo. Her husband often complained that she did not entertain him sho could not play the piano for the reasons stated aud thought if she could regaiu her voice, she could entertain hiii by einging, and thus make his homo more pleasant, and this was (he only object she had in taking the lessons. Sometimes sha took her lesson at the school and at other times when more convenient for Mr.

Wilder at her own house, but at neither of these rlaceB was she guilty of any criminal immoral, improper, indecent or immodest conduct with him. Ho aiwayB treated her in a POLITE, GENTLEMANLY, AND DELICATE manner, and she believeB be is as he ib reported to a gentlemen in ail respecis. All allegations of her husband charging her with with having'cominitted adultery with Him are untrue. Mr. Wilder is now absent in Ohio, so that she cannot get his affidavit, but she will get it when he returns.

Mrs. Spencer goeB on to state that she has been a good wife to her husband, has bought her husband's underclothing and her children's clothing from her own meauB for tho last year aud a half, aud during that time sho has attended to all of his business in this city, aud conducted her household affairs with PRUDENCE AND ECONOMY, and never Bpent one dollar of her husband's money for presents for other people. He has only bought her three dresses Bincc their marriage. She reiterates the statements made in her farmer affidavit published in the Eagle of Saturday last, aB to her husband's conduct on various occasions, and asserts also that she has the strongest affection for her children. Then she says that her constitution 1b bo shattered by the bearing of six children that she is unable to do any Ihlng for her support, and that her husband is worth full $60,000.

She denies that she evor confessed having had improper relations with Mr. Hull or Mr. Wilder to any one. AS TO HEB ALLEGED CONFESSION to John J. Alston, Bhe Bays that on the 29th of June her husband brought him to her room, and when she refused to make suoh confession her husband exclaimed in a passionate manner, "Caro, why don't you tell Alston you are guilty?" Shu was so outraged and incensed" that she only replied, What does tho man mean?" She had previously stated to Alston, "I want you to understand distinctly that I don't admit or deny that I am guilty, and I am going to leave it just there." Alston then said "What am I to infer and Ehe replied, "You may infer what you please." She then reciteB tho particulars of various scenes, when her husband, roused to thy highest pitch of jealousy, endeavored to extort from her an admission of guilt, but ehe continually asserted her innocence.

She was troubled beyond expression by this, and by his declaration that her going to the hotel was enough to enable him to obtain a divorce, that Bhe would have no home, no friends, no children aud no name, and while in such a state of feeling sho receivod a letter from him, in which he urged her to write to her mother. She kept tho messenger waiting and wrote a letter to her mother and aiso a letter to her husband (which appeared in tho Eagle of Saturday), being at the time in a STATE OF DESPONDENCY, and thinking if a divorce waa granted people would believe her guilty notwithstanding her innocence. In that loiter she did not implore or Boek forgiveness for any infidelity, but asked mercy supposing she was deserted and that her husband's statements as to his ability to get a divoroo were true. Sho further bsjvb in conclusion, that since Bhe has had BUch proof of his falsehood and treachery, and learned that her denials enrage him and supplications confirm Iris suspicions, and since she has consulted counsel and learned that her position dopendB upon her innocenoe, which sho now moBt solemnly asserts and is ready to prove, she demands but justice, and defies hia utmost malignity. THE AFFIDAVIT OF J.

COX HULL, denies that there has ever been any improper conduct between him and Mrs. Spencer. THE AFFIDAVIT OF DB. ATEN shows that Mtb. Spencer requested him to make out separate bills for his attendance on her and on the children respectively.

He did bo, and shortly afterward Mre. Spencer called and paid them. EDWIN J. BABNEY AND HIS WIFE with whom Mrs. Spencer is now Btaying make affidavit that what Mrs.

Spencer stated in her aQTdavit read on Saturday last as to her husband bringing back to her their infant child after their separation was wholly true. THE DBOCEB mokes affidavit that Mr. tjpencer ordered no more groceries sent to the house 035 Pacific street on his account, and prohibited him from Belling auy to Mrs. Spencer. WYCKOFF JAMES make affidavit that the houses 035 Pacific street and 008 Carlton avenue, the property of Mr.

Spencer, are worth THE ARGUMENT. After Mr. Bagley had read these affidavits he gave way to ex Judge Troy, who addressed Chief Judge Neilson for about half an hour. He said that this was not the place nor time to try the question of adultery. Ho had only stited in his affidavits what facta they could jirovc, in order that the Court might eco that the plaintiff had a strong prima facie case.

He claimed that the husband, as Complete List of the Employes and Their Salaries, How Four Hundred and Sixteen Thousand Dollars are Spent Who the Inspectors, Laborers, Engineers and Sewer Constructors of the City are. For inaiiy jnontbs past the reformatory politicians about tho Hall have been anxiouu to obtain a complete list of the employees of tho Board of City Works, with Iho salaries paid. That liBt is for the first time presented here to day. The list ms prepared for the personal use of the Controller, and In his hands It wbb placed this morning. It will bo noticed that the total amount paid by the Department for salaries is $416,100.

That ainovmt is drawn from the following accounts in the proportion indicated. With only four of these accounts have tho first Board anything to do, that is to say, only four of them are provided for In tho budgot, to wit cleaning Btrects, repairs and breaks, Street Department and water construction. Tho other accounts are handled by the Aldermen and through them the appropriations are made. In tho list furnished tho Controller tho Commissioners indicate not only the amount of each man's salary but the accounts whence the salaries are drawn.

VETERINARY SURGERY. Card from Srs.

Iopez and Delisser. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle Wo noticed in your paper of the 2Sth nn article signed "A Resident' complaining of our vl ut iuary surgery a nujEance. We denounce th whole statement as a tissue of falsehoods, based on exaggeration, with an intention of deceiving tho nubile. To frove the extent of the writer's exaggeration, he states that our surgery ia a place where all the diseased and sick horses are brought. This every one must know is talse.

Then he states tliat two weeks ago there wero lying iu the stable from Saturday until Monday two dead horses. There was some lying in this affair, but it was not the dead horses, as one of the animals alluded to died on Sunday morning, and was removed at 9 on Monday morning, and the other died at about 7 o'clock on Monday morning, and was removed at 9 o'clock along with the other horse. Therefore, the statement is a palpable untruth, to use the Widest term, Tho writer complains of tho lame horses in the yard being attended to, such as washing their feet aud sores. Surely, when we are attending to our work, in our private yard, our neighbors aro not compelled to thrust half their body through thoir back windows to havo a look and theu comphdn. Ho alijo complains of the smell, but as oue of our neighbors has no pit to receivo the manure we think it is from his yard, as we have a dung xit by order of the city authorities.

As to the pools of stagnant water complained of, this is another specimen of the writer's capabilities, as our place of business has been inspected by officers after oflicers ftom every department through th repeated complaints made to them, aud when we said that their complaints amounted to nothing u. based it on the opinion of the Beverul otiicers who inspected our plac3 as they could not see auy fault, and more than that thjy can clearly see the malicious intent of tho compl tints, as have on all occasions proved a niyth. The writer says that sick horses lie down and kick. Suppose they do, they canuot hurt auythiug and cauuot kick anything, so they cannot disturb any oue. The conil laint made, lr.ay appear to many to be a just one, and for ihe removal of auch an oi initm in ihiir miuQs, we have to ask the inserting of this iu ju itice omselves and the public as the facts are, that our srabl are au eyesore to the landowners, as told us that it being there it does uot increase thu of their lots, aud as they can't remove us ou a candid and truthful statement tlu have now resorted to untruths, exaggerations and, in fact, th nuy yet further in their efforts to remove its, us the real uufcauce we are to them is of a pecuniary uatcuv and in conclusion, wo feavUsly state to thii writer, and all who complain, jlhat wo can prove our assertion unele oath, and hope in fulure that they will have a little more regard for the truth, especially whui they rush into mint.

A Young Disciple oi "Sylvander" Awaits his "Kachcl" Without Advertising As Vet.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: I was not a little interested in reading Sylvander'a" experience in and defense of matrimonial advertisements, aa pabUahed in Monday's Eagle. Like him, I am young maii from the rural districts. At church I seo many of tho other sex, many of whom I feel quite BUre would answer, but there ccmcs that very same obstacle which he complains of. City custom forbids a young man to speak to a lady except through a regular introduction. That law of BC think, Bhould be abolished at onoe.

There lives a young lady in a neighboring town who used to attend the same church I did. She continually showed siguB of being what I until lately considered smitten. I am not enough acquainted with their tricks to know when they are in earnest or when they are funning. But I took it in earnest, and after coming to Now York, and getting started In life, I resolved to write to her, whichI did. When in her town, my circumstances would not permit of my getting too deep iu love with any girl.

1 wrote her as nice a little note as possible, mailed it and waited a whole week beforo I received a rerly. On Friday night I gave up all nope of bearing from her. But, often when you give up receiving certain letter, It is sure toeomo the next day. So it was with this. Saturday it came.

It was enclosed a government or corporation envelop. I opened it tremblingly, and began (oread; "Tour letter addressed to my Bister has been handed me for reply. I cannot see why you Bhould take tho liberty," and closing with "I refer you to a paper published in Boston whioh I don't remember auy more, for I tore i it in as many pieces as possible auel (2uw the whole thing out of tho "roulee by that that she had given my letter to her brother I was iuuoceut enough to believe I was doing a good thing for her. Imagine my surprise. I don't think will fight it on that line again.

ThavVcCme to tlu' conclusion that there aro very few young women whom it would h. safe to go into partnership with. A lady friend (my brother wife) writes "Don't be in a hurry you are youug yet She is sure to come There is somewhere em who mil suit you to a You will like her be tter thau auy whom you havo ever seen I have concluded not to advortiBO yet awhile, but wait for tho promised Rebecca.

This seems like goiug closely into particulars, but in case of a lawsuit, whero a fortune or something else might be pending, such a record being ready for pro eluctiou saves a wonderful amount of anxiety and trouble. Men who take women on trial, bo calljd, would not bo likely to favor re gistratiou, and that ii out reascn why it is a good thing. Ladies should not forget this. BIRTHS. This is the closing topio of this article, and it may be, logically, out of place.

Many births are considered logically out of placo in the cnel, but people cannot hvlp being born. And being born, it is of some importance that the fact should bo on record for the benefit of the born party and others related to him, perhaps a ceutury hence. Every man, no matter how obsoure, has a placo iu the records of his time aro complete. To be sure there is a class of parents whoso modesty, about records, is generally exercised too late for their own good, mutually or indivielually. Physicians anel abortiouists too of ten lend their aid in bailliug the records, and, where the physician declines to lend himself to the hiding of other people's voluntary shame, bo iB likely to lose one or two, or perhaps more, patieuts.

Some curious iustan ces might be related, but as they arc sufficiently uumor oub to be generally known their absence here may be excused. Bie record of birth is honorable aufl it is satisfactory. There arc few persons who do not some time or other desiro to traco their lineage. In the countries of the old world registration is main tained so as to facilitate such researches. It is gratifying to bo able to ascertain that one's great grandfather was born in wedlock, wherever Darwin might place progenitors before that.

Thero are so many excellent reasons for registration of births that tho only ridiculous thing about it is its utter negleot. In a scientific point of view, the statistics based on tho records of mortality, births and marriages, are of great value. It is hoped that tho future will witness a more thorough compliance, on the part of all concerned, with the la or the State providing for proper registration of births, mar. iages and deathB. There may be money in it, and if there is not there is honor and satisfaction.

LI1JE AT THE DOCK FRONT. A Alorgthe River's Edge Du ring Roth Say and Night Hew Men and Women JLive Near and On the Docks Bay Duties and Night Orgies Wickedness, Wretched uess and Crime. Every locality has its peculiar social aspects, life on the Heights that overhang the docks on Brooklyn's water front is a very different thing indeed from life along tho docks themselves. Tho men and women who occupy the palaces that Bkirt tho hill overlooking the East river and tho New York Bay, have but littlo idea what a deposit of misery, wrctchodness, poverty and crimo lies right at theft feet. They may stand in their gardens, blooming with tho rarest exotics, with all that wealth can bestow at theit backB, aud cast a stone from thenoe into tho most squal lid of homes and tho vilest of dens.

ALT. ALONG OOE WATER FRONT, from Bed Hook to Hunter's Point, with Borne few ex oeptionB, swarm both day and night and especially at night some of the hardest characters the oity has amongst ite inhabitants. A stroll along and through these localities will at once convince the stroller that to livo near the wator iu a great city has little or no agreeable romanoe about it. On the contrary, there is a very disagreeable reality in it all, and one that no man not born and bred to it would core to make a part of his life. DUEINO THE DAS' when business is going on among the shipping, the spots wear a different air from that of the night, when the hum of trade is still and the moored vessels swash in the water and thump against the docks aa a lazy man Ewings in a hammock after a hard day's work.

Longshoremen, eartmen, sailors, loafers and idlers, drunkards and thieves, cutthroats and vagabonds, all mix in together there, and if all are not busy the dook still wears an aspect of lif in which the drones are IobI to view amid the Btirr and buzz about them. Tho longshoremen, eartmen and sailors are tho representatives of industry while the sun shines. The loafers, drunkards, thieves, cutthroats and vagabonds, during the day are only about Burvoying the ground aud prospecting for the wickedness and crime of tho night. AFTER THE SUN OOES DOWN, after tho whistles have blown and the bells have rung for six," an hour or two of ominous quiet is a part of the scene. Supper," or its apology, or the motions accompanying it, must be gone through with, and tho clay pipe or filched oigar as bad as tho characters of tho men who steal aud smoke them are brought out to fill the air with a dense nastiness only equalled by tho effluvia of the rotten gutters that have festered all day in tbe sunlight and now lie rotting under tho undisturbed nose of the local inhabitant.

As cnu knofiB draws on apace, aa the supper geta settled, as the pipe and oigar giro out and as tho lights that adorn those switches to hell the rum shops aro fired up, tho average man of tho dock front rises and stretches himself, puts bis pipe in his pocket as safely as tho King's lady lays away her diamond lajcklaco, pour down his already raw throat a dram of the vilest of liquor aud sallies DOWN ON THE DOOK t3 boo and do what he may. The dark wator, ou the Burface of which float and danoe the reflected stars, looking like pearlB blown about by the wind ou a green sward, washes up against the piers with a monotonous tone that often drowns the Bmothored ourses of a villain or the dying cries of one of his victims. The piers fairly Bwarm with ragged and wretohed life during the early part of the evening. The honest poor who can not get to the who want somo onanco to breathe during the twenty four hours, wander down to the water edge with their little ones, and for a time tho place has quite a family appearanoe, the riff raff being restrained, to a their deviltry, by the softening presence of the women and children. WHEN THE SELLS STRIKE NINE, and the babies, dirty, squalid, little things that they are, aro too tired and sleepy any longer to keep awake, they And their mothers disappear baok into the gaping oellars and lofts they call their homes, and thon begins tho regular night's revelry.

The crowds that stay upon tho decks the greater part of the night may without any injustloe be set down in general terms as nothing leas than thieves river thieves or the land "pals," or park ners of tho same. like the rats that swarm under the dock, these beings know every plank, every cranny, every hiding place in them, and if pursued, sink out of sight like a rock thrown into the water. THEY SIT ON THE DOCh's END or sides with feet Wangling over the edgo, and whittle and swear and plot wickedness, all the while on the alert for a "chance" and on tho lookout 'for a viotim on laud or water. A cleanly fit sometimes takos possession of them, albeit that may bo too good a nomo to gtvo their infrequent baths in the filthy water that washes in and out of the slips'. They go into the water once in a whUo, but It must be to get cooled off or to haul in a floating barrel, crate, box or dead body, for they can not hope to clean themselves in the dirty liquid or to keep clean long after they come from it.

ALL THEOUGH THE NIGHT, sometimes sleeping in tho planking of tho dooks, or on tbe merchandise piled up thereon, these frightful phantoms of men, these outefsta, these very dregs of Foolety's lowest strata, haunt tho water eduo and mak3 it murderous for the Btrouger who may Baunter near. As daylight streaks the cast and tho hum and roar of ihe dny's traffic begins to riso from the busy marts of iho citiea, theBO night owls sneak awBy into all sorts plaoeB to sleep and got In readiness to repeat the wiok edneaaof the night before, or make It doubly worse if Ibey tnt get too chance,.
