The coining value of tho bullion on hand is about If this wero coined tho government would realize a profit of about 64S, 000.000.

It would take, however, it is stated, with tho present coinage capacities of the United States about five years to convert this bullion into silver dollars. Silver certificates, by law, could only bo issued on the profits as coined.

The Sequel to a Lively Scene on a Brighton Beach Train Last Sight Mr. Woodrord, Who Won Five Dollars, Had the Fakir Who Wouldn't Pay Locked Up for Larceny.

There was a Beono of excitement on a Brighton beach train which reached tho Bergon street terminus of tho road shortly after six o'clock last night It found its birth in a mis hap that befol a party of adroit thimble riggers who had beon working the train on tho way back from tho races. The swindling gentry are not often seen on tho trains of the Brighton beach line, but occasionally thoy ply their trade even there. Tho train men and special officers have been warned to look out for thorn, but onco in a while thoy ply their trado unobserved and suceood in entrapping unwary sports who think they can boat their swindling game. Tho train had passed the Flntbush depot and had only one moro station to go whon in a seat In ono of the forward ears a dapDer young nan produced a board, threo shells and a small black bean and then Invited the "gents" who sat near him to try their hand at guessing under which shell tho tiny black pellot lay. Thero wero many who guessed without being asked to show the color of coin and then tho fakir becamo bolder.

He announced that he was willing to hot any sum Irom So up that nobody thero could find the bean after ho had manipulated tho shells. John Woodford of 933 Atlantic avenue, a young colored man of sporting proclivities, produced a five dollar bill and declared that he could guess. The swindler was a blunderer at his for. sure enough, after the manipulation considered necessary tho young colored man spotted the shell with the bean, picked it up and exposed tho blaok pellet. Then he claimod his S10.

The train was within a few rods of the Bergon street station, and tho swindler gained time by arguing with him. As tho cars drew up at tho ter minus everybody in the immediate neighbor nood had become interested in the row. Suddenly, the man with the shells, tho bean and the board sprang out of the car, ran down the platform and darted into tho street He had Woodford's 85 bill and tho $5 more he owed him as winnings. Woodford did not propose to lose his money, and pressing his way through the rush of passengers kept the Seeing thimble rigger in sight. He saw tho man board a car bound down Bergen street, nnd he jumped on board, closely followed by the colored man.

Tho men had a fight on the car and the strugglo attracted tho attention of Policeman Kearney of the Twenty second pre olnct, who put an end to the dispute by arresting the man who was pointed out by Woodford as the swindler. The prisoner described himself as William A. Beid. aged 20, of 301 West Fourteenth stroet. New York.

Ho donied that he had ever soon Woodford before and assumed an air of injured innocence, but ho was sent back to a cell pending arraignment before Justice Haggerty to day on a chargo of having stolen felO from Mr. Woodford.

Tho pilot boat James Gordon Bennott was successfully launched at 2 o'clock yertcrday afteraoon at Poillon's ship yard, foot of CUnton street. This is the ilfteenth oat of tho class that tho firm's vetoran shipbuilders, Towns bond it Drlscoll, hnve successfully put overboard. The launch took place just as high water reached, and it was eminently successful. There was no display, save that the beat was decked out rainbow fashion and tho customary bottle of wlno was broken over her bows as sho began to glide down tho well grcasod ways and took her maiden plungo in Gownnus waters. This boat replaces one of tho snmo name which was wrecked in the ico oft Seabrigbt, N.

last winter. Sho will take her place in the New York pilot fleet as soon completed. She is built on tho same model as tho J. Henry Edmunds, which was built in this yard last spring for the Capo May fleet Like hor, too, tho now boat is flttod interiorly with hard wood and has evory needed accommodation for tho pilot and hor crew. THE TROUBLE ABOUT MOTORMAN DUKX EC 5s TXot likely to Lead to a Strike on the Smith Slrcct Road.

It looks as though tho troublo on tho Prospect Park and Coney Island railroad was at an end. It arose over tho discharge of Motorman John Dunn. There a conference betweon Superintendent Denis Sullivan nnd somo of the men yestorday, which was held over the offices of the road, corner of Smith and Ninth streets, nnd although no definite understanding was arrivod at the difficulty seems smoothed over lor tho present. Tho road employon belong to District Assembly No. 70, Knignts of Labor, and quite recently Master Workman Andrew D.

Bost is said to have stated that ho strike on the roads would be countenanced under tbo presont agreement with the railroads. He dcclarod that any local assembly that acted contrary to it would be promptly suspended. WHILE OUT OF HEE MIND Kate Buchanan Raves About a Drug and Assault. The Second Housekeeper of the notel Brighton Attempts to Leap From a Window Prevented by I'cr Uncle From Throwing Herself Into the Early yesterday morning Kato Buohannn, a young woman living at 233 Bridge stroct, was soized with a fit of temporary Insanity and nttomptod to jump out of a window. Her undo, William J.

Morton, with whom sho lives, heard her moving and entered her room in timo to prevent her from throwing herself to the street. Ho had a hard struggle with his nioco, who seemed possessed of superhuman strength. Am ambulance from tho Brooklyn City hospital was summoned, and answered tho call in about half an hour. Surgeon Treadwcll attended the woman and worked over her for two hours. Later in the morning she was romoved to the Brooklyn hospital.

Miss Buchanan was sufforimg from nervous prostration and wns irreponsiblo. She ravod while tho surgeon wns present, and there was somo diffloulty in getting her into tho ambulance. Miss Buchanan is 24 years old and pretty. Her parents live in Canada, and sho has been staying for tho past winter with her nunt nnd uncle, Mr. and Mrs.

Morton. When the Brighton Beach hotel opened this season she accepted tho position of second housekeeper and worked there steadily until two or threo days ago. When first incapacitated for work Dr. Morgan attended hor at the hotel and she was romoved to her rosidonce on Bridge street. Sergeant Phillips of the bridge pollco was told somo of the facts in tho case by an acquaintance of tho family.

Ho said he had been informed that tho girl in hor ravings and in a disconnected way told of bow she had been drugged and assaulted at the hotel by a man whoso name could not be learned. The matter, it was thought, had preyed on her mind until she becamo mentally unbalanced. Mr. Morton, the young woman's uncle, when seen at his houso last night, was not inclinod to talk about tho case. Ho occupies tho top floor witli his wifo and niece.

Ho said that he had had strugglo with tho girl. "I havo black and blue marks on mo now, he said, ''which she caused by her strength. She was suffering from nervous prostration and was temporarily out of her head." When asked if ho knew anything about her being drugged at the hotel, ho replied that he did not. "1 did not hear her say "anything of that kind, said Mr. Morton.

Then he added, "A person who iR delirious is apt to say many things which they are not rosponsible lor." Ho stated that he had no reason to believe that any wrong had boen done his niece. She was at the hospital and would probably be all right within a few days. Miss Buchanan is in ward No. 1 of tho hospital. At the Brighton Beaoh hotol last night nothing more wns known the matter beyond tho fact that she had been taken ill with nervous prostration and sent home.

DAYTON DISCHARGED AGAIN. Tlio Children lie Chaucd Too Younj Testify. Spoelal to the Eaglo. RrvEBnEAD, L. August 5 Tho second hearing bofore Justice Wlllard in the case of tho People against Eloazer Z.

P. Dayton was held this afternoon. On Sunday, July 9, Dayton drove somo of his neighbor's children into; a creok near the sound at Baiting Hollow by means of threats, and ono of thorn was nearly drowned. Dayton was arrested on a charge of assault in the second degree, and nt tho hearing two weeks ago was discharged on tho ground that tho complaint did not state facts to support the offense charged. A now complaint was drawn, charging Dayton with the same offense, but alleging that he threatened tho chll droa with an ax, and ho was agnin arrested.

At the hearing the oldest of the children, Mary Pragor, aged 10, was the only witness, tho othors being too young. Dayton was diseburged on tho ground thnt the testimony did not establish an assault. There is much indignation over the affair, but, mainly owing to the youth of tbo children, no case of assault can be made out Dayton will bo arrested again on a minor charge, however, and, if convicted, will probubly bo given a heavy penalty. T11E SALMON F1SIIISG IS POOR. Quebec, August 5 Reports from tho salmon fishing streams are to tho effect that the catch this seisoa is very poor.

Tho reason assignod is the oxtremely hot and dry weather. Neither tho Upper Caipcdia for which Vanderbilt and others pay a rental of a year nor the Resti youche have yielded anything like the sport this year that they usuhIIv do.

N'evcr Absent I 'rom Doty for a Day and Sever a Minute Late Her Remains Vrought te This City Yesterday Services to Held at Her Lato Residence This Evening Her Sister Also a School Teacher The Arrangements for the Funeral Not Yet Mode Much Sympathy In the Eastern District for tlio Bereaved Family.

Tho body of Miss Hattio L. Hall, who wa drowned by the sinking of tho steamboat llaohol nt Lake George, Thursday, arrived at tho Grand Central depot yesterday aftornoon. Mr. Benedict, whoso sister was also among tha unfortunates, took chargo ot the bodies. A representative of tho Hall family roceivod thft remains of Miss Hattio and had thorn conveyed to tho family rosidonce.

1,050 Bedford avenue. Miss Hall's death has aroused much sympathy in this city and espocialiv in school clr wheresho was widoly knowii and highly os teemed. Sho was a teacher in Public School No.25 for fourtoon years and was counted among the best educators ot tho minor rank, being thorough and painstaking and accomplishing more than is eSpectod of an ordinary instructor. Besido possessing much talent and industry, sho had a habit of regularity that brought her to tho attontion of her superiors with frequei. cy.

In her long service to tho Bchools she never missed a day. nor is thoro a record of her ever having been late. Sho began her day'B work with punctuality, ana ciosod it tho same way. ilor ideas on educational topic were of tho advanced type, which easily indicated the thought she had given them in her desiro to increase her fitness for tho very important department which sho occupied in life. With her scholars sho had groat influence.

Thoy estoumed and loved her. Sho used a gentle rod, if nt all, winning them always by persuasion and good example. To bring knowlodge within the grasp of the least of them was her motto, and sho observed it at the expenso of mnny sacrifices that contribute to comfort. Wero it not for tha fact that tho schools are ciosod the pupils wouid certainly show their sympathy in some formal manner. A fact that lends additional interest to the nabit of regularity which Miss Hall possessed is that the board of" education has a rule in force which purmits a teaoher to be absent for sickness fifteen days in every year without sacrificing any pay.

The groat majority tako advantage of the generosity of the board, but Miss Hall never hooded it. Sh was attentive in all seasons, and was invariably pointed out na a shining example to her associates. Miss Cornelia Hall, a sister of tho deceased, is also a toaoher in No. 2a, where she has a class in tho grammar grade. Funeral services will be hold this evening at 5 o'clock at the family residence.

Tha interment will be made at the convenience of tha family. Miss Hall was a member of Emmanuel church, of which Rev. John Humpstone, D. is pastor. A SPARRING EXHIBITION STOPPED.

Re tlnee'the Several Classes Pretty falling on the Turn nt Orient Point Official Summaries of tho Ercnts. Rpooial to tho Eaqta Shelteh Islakb Heiohts, N.

Y. Tho Shelter Yncht club race wns sailod to day under somo disadvantages. Tho races among the three classes of cat boats were for doublo prizes. Tho day's event docidod which boat should have its name ensrovod on the Columbus cup donated by Professor Horsford lost summer, and also decided the winners of the silver cups donated by the club. Tho wind was brisk at the start but died out later, and the boats were becalmed for some time around Orient Point This accounts for tho slow time made.

Tho prettiest part of tho raco was over the first of the course up to and around Orient Point buoy. Mr. John E. Nitchie's boat tho Curlew, carried off tho honora of tho day, by efficient Bailing and through taking advantage of wind and tide. Sho sailed ovor the finishing lino far ahoad of anything in hor class nnd won by a big margin.

when tho Elsket rounded the Orient point buoy it was done so prettily that great enthusiasm was aroused. The Curlew won the Columbus raco last year. Tho Pigeon was aot sailod by Captain Donnis and did not fulfill expectations. Captain Donnis had nn offer to sail tho Navahoe in its European tour but ho was ruled out by the new bylaws. The raco for sloops was not what was expected oarlier in tho season.

Tho yacht club has mado some Important additions this year in tho way of sloops, and an interesting raco was expected. Commodore Lynch's Gavillian has been admired on all sides, and yachtsmen were anxious to know what she could do. Tho boat was entered to race on July i in the Larch mount regatta, but was not quite ready, and did not compote. Tho Elsket is another good boat. The Truant, belonging to Mr.

Knlley, Is a fino looking craft which would probably make an interesting race. Mr. C. P. Brigham's boat, the Narona, was purchased for just these races.

Tho Dilemma, belonging to Mr. Fish, is the fastest boat of its kind in the fleet. Tho opinion is that sho is just too fast for the other sloops ond this may hnve influenced tho races. Tne Tigress and Anita aro the other good sloops which would have made a good race. There wero, however, only two sloops which started when tho gun was "fixed nt 11:15 A.

M. Tho Narona got oil first with the Elsket closely following. The breezo was from tho north and got very stiff. At 11:20 the first class cats got off in the following order Ohyiosa first with Cuidao close bohind and tho Pigeon next. The Myrtlo had a racing reef in and lagged behind in order to follow the Olga.

It took but ashort timo to catch up auS pass her. The Myrtlo was sailed by J. Rogers Maxwell, and showed very fast. Sho was rated contrary to expectation in the first class In the second class tho Curlew, J. E.

Nitchie, got off easily first with Lorelie second. Tho Natalo soon gained on the Curlow and passed the Lorelie. In tho third class, the Brant. H. Crosby's boat, got off first, followed by the Mondota, then Nip and Tuck nnd the Alert last.

MK Howell's boat, tho Rattler, did not enter, so the old timo contest between her and Mr. TV. Brown's boat did not take place. Around Orient point, tho Dilemma, which went over the course to show her speed, was far ahead oi everything. The Narona was next and Elsket last Tho Ohyiesn went around Oriont point first with the Ouido next, followed by the Pigeon and Myrtle.

The Olga was for behind. It looked like a procession at this point Mr. Nitchie gained well on the tacking nround Haybench point and got around Orient point first in his class. The Natalie was second. In the third class the order was Brant.

Nip and Tvck, Mendota, Fakir, Alert. The Nip and Tuok was about four minutes ahead of the Meudota. The breeze died out soon after tho second class cat boats rounded Orient point on the home stretch, and the boats made little head wao. Tho wind started up again from tho south on tho finish. The Curlow was the first boat in.

Aftor twenty three minutes the Mendota crossed tho line. The Dilemma camo in next She was not, however, entered la the race, and did not get tho prize. The Brant, Natalie, Narona, Elsket, Fakir, Cuido, Ohylesa and Pigeon, followed in the order named. Summary: SLOOPS DISTANCE 15 M1IXS. Elapsed Corrected Dtarc.

Kalfotir's Recent Speech in Favor of bimetallism A Double Standard Likely to Bo a Plank In the Next Conservative Plntform. London, August 0 Within tho past few days the various organs bovo been making tho announcement, seemingly bnsod upon official authorization, thnt parliament will take a recess within six woeks and will re sumo tlio session at the end of October. It can be stated that theso announcements havo no value beyond intimating tho desiro of the, ministerialists that beforo the dissolution the ministers shall carry somo of the leading measures that wore doelded upon at tho liberal conference hold last year at Newcastle. The ministerialists bolievo that at least two of tho mc as Jros contained in tho Newcastle progrnmmo hould be passed beforo the dissolution.

Those measures are tho parish councils' hill and tno employors' liability They hold that for tho liberal party to present iUelf to the country on tbo sinfflo achievement of tho home rulo bill would bo to expose it to almost inevitable defeat. Ho, if the opposition would agree to a brief adjournment of tho house, the government could, npon ths resumption of tho session, tako up tho measures concerning Great Britain. This, however, is osnctly a programme which the loadors of tho opposition decline to assist in carrying out. During the past week constant communications have been exchanged between the government and tho unionist wnips. having in view an arrnngomeat to shorten tho dlsoussion of the vote on supply and the report Stage of tho homo rule bill, so as to enable tho government to turn its attention to British legislation.

Though tho unionists havo been wearied by tlie long fight they have mode against the home rule biii at every stage of its progress, they refuse to listen to tho government's overtures and will continue tho struggle. 'They decline to accept any sort of compromise; and aro prepared to exhaust every form of practice known to the house to check tho work of ho government. The cabinet will hold a meeting on Tuesday, at which tho course of the government will bo decided upon. Tho third stage of tho home rule bill will open on Monday. Thi3 stage must consumo the time of tho house for at least three weeks, though tho government should use ovcry possible form of closure.

The debate will cover forty two clauses and schedules, beside ten pages of amendments, most of which will again raise tbo issues that were settled in committee of tho whole. One of tho most important of the new proposals is to bo made by the liight Hon. A. J. Balfour, the conservative leader in tins house, who will move an amendment to the effect that tho Irish members retained in tho imperial parliament shall have the power to vote only on motions amendatory oi the horns rule bill.

After tho discussion, which as abovo stated Will occupy thro'; weeks at tho very shortest, and tho report the third reading of the bill will bo taken up. Then tho house will resolve itself into a committee oi tho whole on supply. Over tho questions that will come up the opposition can wrangle interminably unless tho government risks tho danger ot establishing a prece dcnt.und applies the closure. This method of otl debato has never beon applied in committee on supply and tho government is, it is said, hesitant aboot making the precedent Tho closing period of the session, is likely to bo fraught with eues of the most intense ex The unionists might consent to grant tho estimates if the government would agroo to prorogno parliament in September to December, hilt as a prorogation involves tho fresh introduction of every government bill whon parliament resumes, whereas an adjournment enables the house to take up bills at tho stage they have achieved, Mr. Gladstone will decline to prorogue parliament.

Tho developments in the financial crisis in the United States aro watched here with tho keenest anxiety. The fact that the New York Central and Hudson Blver Railroad company has had to come to London to borrow $5,000,000, while tho Pennsylvania Kail road company will negotiate a six months' loan of at 5 per is commented upon as showing bow uttor is the collapse of credit in tho United States and how comoieto is tho lookup.of capital. "Tho credit of both tho companies referred to," says the Statist, "stands iigh. Their bankers aro tho greatest financial houses in tho United States and yet they obliged to como to for temporary accommodation. Of 'course, both companies will get what they require.

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fo Toad is likewise a borrower. It will succeed in getting a loan, ns it offers good security. Be fcl.de these, two other companies are reported to BO applying to a leading financial firm for assistance. In short, all the raiiroau companies in She United States have lloatlng debts which, under the present conditions prevailing there, they cannot carry, and they havo to turn to juondon for asststance." Tho predicts that mno.h more gold will be withdrawn from England for tho United States before the pressure ceases. Tho Speaker believes that tho importation of gold is strengthening the American banks, and that this, combined with tho remedial measures that wili bo taken by congress, will reas eure the America public Naturally, tho banks hero," the papor adds, "wish to give what help they can to the business community of New York, "every banker knowing that serious troubles in New York involve troubles in tendon." During the recent discussion of the estimates lenry Chaplin, who was uresidont of the board agriculture to Lord Salisbury's administration, attempted to raise the long deferred de onto on the queston of bimetallism by moving a reduction of tho salary drawn by the prime minister.

Every bimetallist member of tho house was on the alert, primed to attack tho government for suspending tho free mintage of in India, but their hopes of vcntiluting their views and opinions wore quashed by the chairman, who ruled that the motion was out of order. This decision was highly gratifying to the ministerialists, who were anxious to avoid long discussion of the questions tho Tists are anxious to raise. Government supporters ore also anxious to avoid as long ias possible an official exposure of tho of the India eurroacy poller. A 'feature of tlie position tho continued non success of tho India council to sell their drafts on India. On Wednesday last bills to the amount of forty luks of rupees wcr.

offered Without an allotment being made. The only tender made was for ton luKs at Is 3 per rupee. The tender was refused. For live efn socutivo weeks the India council has failed to obtain tenders for its bills, being unwilling to make allotments except at Is 4d, or the smallest fraction under that price. Currency exports differ in opinion as to whether the council can hold out in maintaining the prlco of its drafts at a flxod minimum, and as to what the result of such an attempt will bo upon tha currency struggle generally.

Mr. TV'iiiiam H. Grenfoll, who has heretofore supported Gladstone's political nnd financial policies, has withdrawn from the liberal parry, soh iy, it Is said, because of the government's action in rogard to tho Indian currency question. This fact, together with the speech made at tho Mansion house meeting on Thursday by Mr. Balfour, when tho principal bankers of Loudon and other business men assembled to consider tho situation, has again aroused tho country's intorest in tho financial question.

Though Mr. Balfour in his speech declined to commit tho conservative partv to bimetallism. it is an accepted fact that the party is tending to the adoption of a double standard as plank in tho conservative platform. Sir. S.

As for tho opinion of tho coutlu' ntal countrios, Mr. Horton further said, nothing seems to bo known of tho undercurrents. There is no organizing nor for this business. Internationally that condition of affairs hud been tho ruio since 1S2, with ruro exceptions. In the yachting world great interest is manifested lu the perlormaneos ol the American yacht Nnvalioe.

The week's wing in tho vicinity of the Isle of Wight has attracted largo crowds of spectators, and the racing has been highly successful from the popular British point" of view. Th Trincc of Wales' cutter Britannia has been selected to contest all tho ehallcng from the Navahoe. Tho sailing of the American yacht in to day's race, which she won hnadsomoly from tho Cailuna, the only other contestant, teds to reassure her partisans as to her ability. The Field, a well known sporting paper, says, in commenting upon th" Navahoo's performances: "Olvsu a steady breeze, either tho Valkyrie or Britannia can beat the JJavahoo by at least fivo minutes over a fifty mile course. Hor want of stillness, compared with that possessed by English yndits, renders her present performances uncertain.

She will be a wonder in light The paper adds: "Wo know nothing as to tho relative merits of the Navahoe compared with tho Pilgrim, Vigilant and Cailuna. If any of these aro superior to tho Navaboo, lis the New York press asserts, there Is not ono among thorn that tho Valkyrie could beat. There is a strong feeling here that the Valkyrie will be sailing after an ignis fatuus In Now York that she might Just as well stay at homo. But surely it will be well to know how much bettor the American machines aro than our yachts in a fair stand up light. Wo shall always remombor that tho Valkyrie sailed on her own bottom to New York.

Theso reports, however," ore not t.rno. The price of coal is rising In consequence of the strike, and this fact is causing a suspension of work in many factories in Lancashire nnd Yorkshire. It is estimated that fully 500.000 hands who depend on mining, shipping and manufacturing for their living, havo boen thrown out of work through the strike. Lord Bosebery, secretary of state for foreign affairs, will start to night for Hamburg, where he wilt inuko a three weeks' stay.

M. Decrais, tho nowly appointed French ambassador to Great Britain, will present his credentials to the queen at Osborne house next According to diplomatic usago Lord Itosebory should accompany him when ho visits the queon, but he will be able to do so. From the fact that Lord Kosebory will be absent at the time it is arguod that tho entente between Groat Britain and Franco is not perfect. Buckingham palaco is about to be closed for six months. Tbo sanitation of tho palace is imperfect.

All the household servants, including tho head housokeopor, will bo put on board wages. CETJSHED OUT HIS LIFE. Jaraes Donnelly Mangled by the Trolley on Fulton Street He Attempted io in Front of a Till rd Avenue Car and lint Tangled Cp in the Wheels Dentil EnsucrS an Hour After the Accident. James Donnelly, an iron moulder, is the latest trolley victim. Donnelly is apparently about 50 years old and, as far as can bo learned, had no fixed place of abode.

He was run down by a trolley car just before 0 o'clock last night on Fulton street, near tho corner of York. He died an hour later in tho Second precinct station house. Donnelly was standing on tho pavement, opposite William Hart's harnoss shop at 79 Fulton street when he was first seen by Motorman Dnntol Murphy, who was handling the lover car No. 1,00 of the Third avenue line. Tho car was bound for the forry at a fair rate of speed, and Murphy says he had just given the brake a twist as he found his ear at the top of the long hill which ends at the water front It appears taat Donnelly attempted to cross and started back a step when tho motorman rang tho gong.

Then Donnelly paused for a moment and made another dash lor the opposito side of the street. Ho was instantly knocked down and crushed under tho two front wheels which passed over his legs just below the hips. The ear was stopped in a moment and the lody extricated without difficulty. Patrolman Stevens and several bystanders carried the unconscious man to the neighboring Second preciuot station. He recovered consciousness in halt an hour, spoke intelligibly once or twice, and tnen relapsed into insensibility, dying at 10 o'clock.

Ambulance Surgeon Brinkcrnofl of the Brooklyn City hospiial rendered what little surgical aid was possible. Motorman Murphy, who lives at 127 Twenty fifth stroet, and Conductor Monnhon of Fort Hamilton were looked up and afterward roloased on; baii by Justice Walsh. Donnelly was idontifled by a pawn ticket for a watch, which was found in his pocket. He was poorly dressed. Several employes of James Mitchell's iron, foundry on Water street camo to tho station and also identified the body.

They said Donnelly lived around lodging houses and had a married son residing somewnero in the vioin ity of Bed Hook point.

Tho police did not loam of a Tory sensational attempt at murder in the nppor portion of the eastern district until a lato hour last night, although tho offort to kill was made at yesterday forenoon. Tho would bo slayer was Edward Keating, a loves'ek iron moldcr, 84 years old, whose home Is at 152 George street. For a long time ho had boon enamored of Ida Dougherty, a young woman who lived at 12 Dltmars street, but because of his ago and passionate disposition sho had steadfastly lookod upon his advances with anything but a favorable oyo. He was constant in his attendance upon her, however, and try as she might to discountonanoe his advances, he porslsted in visiting her. Yestorday ho wont to her houso determined to sortie tho quostion for good.

Ho securod an interview with hor, imp'orod her to marry him and swore that if she would not consent sho would novor live to be tho wife of auothor. The young womnn was frightened, but promptly refused his odor of marriage. There wero words between tlio couple and suddenly Keating drew a revolver, presented it at the young woman's head and pulled tho trigger. He was very much excited, his aim was "bad and the" bullet ilew wide of the mark. Tho young woman fled to a place of safety before ho could flro a second shot.

Then ho wont home and took a dose of rough on rats, relying on the arsenic it contained to ond his life. But ho only mode himself very sick, and Ambulance Surgeon Mooney, who was called to attend him, found that he was not so very badly hurt. Lato last night Miss Dougherty went nround to the Cedur street police station nnd formally preferred a charge of assault with intent to kill ngainst her murderous lover. Officer Barnard went to his houso and placed him under arrest. The accused, who was still suffering from the effects of tho poison bo had taken, refused to make any statement.

At later hour Keating boeamo quite ill and tho sergeant on duly, fearing that the prisoner would die on his hands, sent out second call for tho ambulance. Another surgeon saw him but decided after a close examination that the molder was in no danger of immediate col lnpsa Indeed Jtho supposition was that the fellow was shamming.

Arc, Therefore, fiepimiateil the Cutircli 'ITrufttees by Tho publication by tho trustees of tho Methodist church at Inwood of a notice to the effect that tho Christian Endeavor and Woman's Aid societies would no longer be recognized by the church has created much feeling in religious circles.

Both societies havo dono active work In tho name of the church with which they are connected for years. Tho notice, which is Bignod by tho trustees, says that money collected by those organizations atythoir fairB and socials is not nppliod to the church fund. The trustees further say that the notice is given that tho public muy not bo deceived in supposing they are giving to the church by patronizing the sooieties. This action by the trustees it seems has not been hastily taken, but is the outcome of mature deliberation. The societies named were organized in the church and used tho name of tho church in the announcement of festivals, socials and other entertainments.

Had the funds realized from theso affairs been handed over to the church treasurer there would have beonno trouble. As it was, the money was used in strict accordance with tho idoas of the women who did tho work. They claimed the right to nso tho money to further the Christian enter torprises and charities which they had in hand without even consulting the trustees. Tho frequency with which entertainments were given first by one society and then by the other put the ehnrch in a begging position before the people continually, thougnt the trustees, while in reality the church got no benefit from tho sums realizod. The trustees argued this point from time to time, but tho women would not yield from tholr position.

They cared nothing for tho scandal which the trustees said would surely follow thoir intended action, and in almost as many words they were told to do their worst. Thus put on their mottle he ohuroh officers issued the notice which is regarded by the so oiaty members as an edict of excommunication. Tho notice nppearod in a local paper on Friday. Tho trustees rofuso to say anything on the subject, other than a reiteration of the announcement. The women are dollai'L They will appeal to tho higher council oi tho church, they say and in the meantime will continue to regard themselves as a part of tho church regardless of tho trustees.
