ELASTIC xsj8aa rnHE MISFORTUNE OF A RUPTURE I asn ba ftxaiW remedied bv weaxins tha bb BLAft FIFTH WABP ITCTITIES. A Lively meeting; in Jolin Devlin's House The ppn Patrick Barns la "flUannderatood" He Klstea Ei plain and is Declared out of Order. The Democracy of the'lxf th Ward gathered in great numbers last evening at Devlin's Hall, on. the corner of Prospect street and Hudson avenue. The Hon.

Patrick Burns called the meeting to order, and the Secretary read the minutes of the preceding meeting, by which It appeared that a Committee of nine had been instructed to recommend two nominees for the position of Alderman, these nominations to be subject to the approval of the meeting last evening. The minutes were approved. Mr. Fitzgerald, the Chairman of his Committee, reported that the Committee had met, but that two of' their number being absent, they had deemed It wise not to make any nominations, and he therefore requested that further time be allowed them. This was received with applause by the greater part of those resent, and by a manifestation of decided disapproval others.

It became apparent that a faction waa in the room, which opposed the will of the majority. Mr. Oonners I move that the Committee be Instructed to retire twenty minutes and make np a ticket. This being seconded, a small uproar ensued, remarks being shouted back and forth, such as, "The Ojmmrttee ain't here, only two or three." lie, there's a majority here." "How con they do that, all in a hurry 7" Mr. Burns at length called Mr.

William Higgins to the chair, and made on eloquent address. He opposed Imrrctnir the Committee, as the oitv and county nomi he knew that Mr. Fellows would accept, and he replied that he was not certain whether he would or not. Mr. Strong, also, nude a long speech.

In his favor, but oven he couldn't say, for certain, that Mr. Fellows would accept. Had it been sure that he would, I think he would have been nominated by acclamation. Berorter Do you know whether Mr. Fellows repre sents in any way this Becret political organization mown as the United Orfier of American Mechanics Mr.

Palmer I do not but I do not think he oan, for (that killed three other men before the Convention. You can find out whether Mr. Fellows baa accepted or not by calling on General Traoy, who is Chairman of the Committee to tender Mr. Fellows the nomination. After leaving Mr.

Palmer, the reporter went over to Police Headquarters, where he'found OENEBAL JOUBDAM, who was very busy indeed, but had time to answer a question or two. i Reporter General, how are you pleased with the Ke publican nomination for Mayor, made last night. Genl Jourdan I think it Is an excellent nomination, sir, but I am of the opinion that there was a mistake made in the Convention. Reporter In what way, sir Gen. Jourdan He Bhoald have been nominated by acclamation.

Reporter And why was he not Gen. Jourdan Because there was nobody in the Convention who could say positively that Mr. Fellows would accept. If any one man in the convention loould have made that statement positively, he would jhave been nominated by acclamation at once. Never theless I consider his nomination a very creditable 'one, indeed a most excellent one in faot.

Reporter Do you know whether he is in any way identified with the Order of United American Mechan ics? Gen. Jourdan I do not, but I judge that he is not. That's what tailed Belcher his friends handled him very injudiciously indeed. Reporter Have you yet heard whether Mr. Fellows accepts or not Gen.

Jourdan I have not. Reporter Do you think he will Gen. Jourdan I do. After leaving Gen, Jonrdan, and while passing along Court street, toward Gen. Tracy's office, the reporter met.

AUDITOE SHAUBMAN, and asked him as follows Reporter Please tell me what you think of the action of the Republican City Convention yesterday. Auditor Well, I don't know the nominee at all, but in conversation with those who do know him I havo heard but one opinion expressed. Reporter And what is that Auditor That he is a very fine gentleman, in appearance and socially, as well as an excellent business man. Every body seems to Bpeak in tho highest terms of him. While croBSingthe City Hall Park on Ms way back from the office of Gen.

Traoy whom he did net buo ceed in finding in the reporter encountered LOTOVZO BENNETT, ESQ. one of the Committee of One Hundred, with this result Reporter Mr. Bennett, how are yen pleased with Mr. Fellows's nomination for the. Mayoralty by the Repub i lican party Mr.

Bennett I regard it as a very exoellent nomination indeed. Reporter Do you know the nominee Mr. Bennett No, bIt, not personally, but from what I hear of him, I should judgehim to be a first olass.man for the position. By the way, have you heard the rumor about Mr. Ropes? Reporter What rumor do yon refer to Mr.

Bennett Well, it may be only a rumor, and I shouldn't like to be quoted as authority in the matter at all. Reporter I will use it only as a rumor, of course, unless I can verify it. Mr. Bennetts Well, I heard that the Democrats were going to nominate BIPLEY BOPES FOE MATOB, and that he would accept the nomination in order to "vindicate his charaoter." After leaving Mr. Bennett, COUNTY OLEBK HERMAN was found, filling the place of the old "Twelve o'clock Man" (who still inalsta upon living, notwithstanding all that has been written about him), and the reporter said to him: Reporter What is your impression about the Republican nomination for Mayor yesterday Mr.

Herman Well, all I can say is that Mr. Fellows Is a personal friend and acquaintance of mine. Reporter And you are the first man Mr. Herman, out of a score or so, with whom I have talked this morning, who personally knows the gentleman referred to. Mr.

Herman Well, I know him, and I know him also to be a very fine gentleman and excellent business man, and one of the handsomest men in Brooklyn. Reporter Present company, of course, excepted. Mr. Herman No, sir, not present company except ed. He is a fine portly looking man, and a good man in every way.

Bat please don't interview me on the subject. Reporter But I have done that already. Good morn ing, sir. JTIr. Fellows Urged to Accept.

Shortly after two o'clock this morning the delegation appointed by the Convention to inform Mr. Fellows of his nomination, arrived at the Manufactur ers' Bank, in South Seventh street, where they found Mr. Fellows. The delegation was headed by Benjamin F. Tracy, and consisted of the following gentlemen: Postmaster Talbot, Albert Daggert, Demas Strong, Jacob Worth, John McDiarmid, Col.

Segerman, Hon. Fred. Cooheu, Benj. Willeon, Wm. Green, Aid.

Trowbridge, ChaB. Cheshire, John Oonklin, Wm. Sugden ami nr, Aiuev, ou, bv.mmi xokub, mav j. jlt. UTrnee, Aid.

Zlndell, Eugene Barling, and two or three other personal friends of Mr. Fellows were also present, while a number of reporters and local politicians lingered around the door. The delegation at once retired to the private rooms of the bank and the members of the press were rigidly excluded. The session laBted for over an hour, and when the doors were opened and the delegation came out, it was announced that Mr. Fellows would probably accept the nomination.

A reporter of the Haqle asked General Traoy what course the proceedings of the meeting had tak en. Mr. Tracy said that several Bhort speeches were made by the members of the delegation urging upon Mr. Fellows the importance of bis acceptance of the nomination. In response, Mr.

Fellows said in substance that while he felt deeply the honor. that kad been done him, by making him the candidate of the party for the Mayor of Brooklyn, an honor he said that he had not sought, still he could not give a definite anBwer to the delegates. He asked for time. He was a business man and he desired to consult with his business partners, as to whether he could arrange his business so as to take upon himself the added burden of the Mayoralty. With this answer the delegates were fain to content themselves.

Mr. Traoy said that in all probability, Mr. Fellows would accept the nomination, and this opinion was concurred in by the other gentlemen present. His Hiograpbr. Charles H.

Fellows is a native of Stoiiing ton, Conn. is 54 years of age, and came to New York twenty five years ago as book keeper for Mr. Starr, the founder of the Scientific American, taking np his residence In the Thirteenth Ward, where he has resided ever since. A few years after he became interested with Mr. Starr in the manufacture of gas nxtureB, and is still engaged In that business, under the firm name of FellowB, Hoffman Co.

Their office is located at No. 631 Broadway, New York, and their factory at No. 91 Boernm street, E. D. Mr Fellows is also connected with an establishment for the manufacture of screws, located on First street, between North Second and.

Third streets, E. D. He Is President of the Manufac tusers Bank, on South Seventh resides at No. 83 Lee avenue. He Is considerable property holder and reputed a gentleman of wealth, and has never held office, nor contended for politioal preferment.

Mr. FellowB has taken no part whatever in political or public affairs in Brooklyn. So far as he is known to have any politics, they are of the narrowest and moat extreme sort. He was extreme abolitionist in the past, and voted for James tt. Birney, for President of the United States.

His unexpected nomination to an office for which he was hardly named as a candidate, is accounted for in outside political oirolea on the ground that beta in sympathy with the secret semi religions, seml poiitlcal societies whose representatives have been so active of late in Republican circles. It is denied, however, that Mr. Fellows is a member of these societies, though acceptable to them. The more influential Republican politicians are sensibly mortified by the result, and they are still not without hope that Mr. Fellows will relieve the Republican party from apprehended defeat, by refusing to accept its nomination for Mayor, Tbe Politicians and the campaign.

Rumors are flying thick and fast around the Hall to day, and in every nook where two or three are gathered together the nomination last night, the nominations to be made to day, and the prospects of the coming campaign are vigoronsly discussed. It seems pretty clear, from the general tenor of the remarks of those who know, that the slate of the Jonrdan Tracy combination was pretty effectually smashed last night, and that in his heart of hearts Mr. Dutcher is highly elated thereat. He desired a clear field in the Western District for the Mayoralty. Collector Burrows is also said to have taken a hand in last night, and to have assisted judiciously at the cutting of the throat of the combination.

It is undoubted that Perry was slated for the nomination precisely as the Eagle intimated last night, but when Fellows showed such strength as he did In the Eastern District, Silas B. Dutcher, who was present, helped him all he could through his henohman, Daggett, of the Nineteenth Ward, and so played his trump card for a clear nomination this afternoon. It is now sold that Mr, Fellows is also a MEMBER OP THE 0. U. but this never has been verified and can not very easily be, as all members of that secret order are reticent concerning their comrades.

The Convention which meets this aftternoon will nominate on behalf of the Republican candidates for Register, County Clerk, and Sapervisor at Large. Things appear to be still somewhat mixed as regards candidates, Colonel E. B. Fowler being spoken of by different parties for all three offices. For Register, however, Mr.

Dutcher is conceded to be the candidate, while, for County Clerk, the race will probably be between Colonel Fowler and Mr. George Thomas of the new Third Ward. For Supervisor, no names are men tloneed, tho leaders graciously leaving that matter to the Convention. LONG ISLAND. The Way to a Gbavbyabd.

For some time a fierce strife has raged between rival railroad companies, both of whom had obtained right of way for a road to connect Hunter's Point with Calvary Cemetery, Laurel Hill, the Lutheran Cemetery and several suburban villages. Of the two but one has shown any inclination to furnish the proposed accommodation, and in the face of numerous and exceptional obstacles the company referred to, at the head of which is Mr. Patrick Oleaaon, of this oity, has succeeded to a remarkable degree. At present Mr.GIeason is engaged in laying the rails upon the sleepers, now down about a month, and it ia intended to have the road to operation by the first week in November. Cue have already been purchased, and so soon as the tracks shall have been completed, the remaining paraphernalia will be forthcoming.

District Attorney's Office Teateraar. Where's the Distriot tleiusnii ed Dan Downey, late Registrar of th Health Board, "He's hot in now," replied one of the attaches of Mr. Brltton's office. Well, when would he be in, Daniel wanted to know, Sid he clutched a copy of tiie IWHins in very vudio ve manner. i He was told he would be in shortly, and Daniel paced tho marble floor with more impatience than his soared namesake is supposed to have trod the den ef An Eaozjs man meekly approached him and, tapping him on the shoulder, asked him what was the matter.

"What's the matter? Why, look here," pulling out his copy of the Tribune and showing the scribe a paragraph framed with exact precision in heavy blue penoil marks. "What's the matter Look at tills." The reporter took the paper and scanned over the paragraph referred to. It stated in substshoe that Daniel Downey had received large sums of money while Registrar in the Health Offloe for BOOUS SMALLPOX oasts, apd that Alderman Ropes had screened him from Justioe and publio censure. "Well; that Isn't true, Daniel, is it meekly inquired the Eaglet. True.

Of coarse it isn't it's a lie. I dldnt know this until yesterday, and I went right over to theoity editor of the paper, and he said he'd contradict it this morning, and he hamit dohe.so. IteJl you that if some people want to shoulder the libels of this sheet, I wont; now that's what's the matter. There isn't any one can put a finger on me and say I received a dishonest cent all the time I wsb clerk there." MWell, Mr. Downey," said, the reporter, yon, in the language of William of York, wbat are you going to do about it 7" "Just thlB.

101 see the District Attorney, and I'll show it to him it's his business to indict me if it's true, and it's his busineLs to find out if it's true. I'M READY i Tor any investigation. If It Isn't true he's the people's counsel, and has a right to defend citizens, and I'll see that my charaoter Isn't maligned In this way." "Have you seen Aid. Ropes about it i "Yes, I have, and he Bays he never found anything wrong as far as I am concerned. I'm going to put this thing through." "That's right," said the scribe, ''be a man," and he left Daniel pacing tho marble and listening for the foot steps of Winchester Britton.

A HAPPX PAIR. Aid. Hicbrtrdson's Son Takes Unto Himself a Wife marriage at Pougb keepsie. Yesterday the Vassar College, in Pough keepsie, was brilliant with a wedding party. The bride groom was William J.

Richardson, son of Aid. Richardson, of this city, and the bride Miss Mary Carrlngton Raymond, daughter of John H. Raymond, President of the College. Flowers, vines and foliage wrought in shapes of beauty, adorned the chapel and parlors. The ohapel was filled with the young lady students, attired in their best, the class of which the bride was a member occupying the platform.

The bridal party included Aid. Richardson and family, Dr. Raymond and family, Capt. Charles W. Raymond, of West Point Commissioner B.

W. Raymond and lady, John S. Howard and family, Joseph Howard, and family, Col. H. 0.

King and family. Messrs, H. W. B. Howard, William 0.

Beeoher and Wm. Richardson officiated as ushers. Dr. Raymond performed the marriage ceremony, after which the organ pealed the "Wedding March." A reception waa then held in the parlors, whioh were filled with guests from Poughkeep aie, Albany, New York and Brooklyn. In the evening there was a magnificent sapper.

The couple left for Albany and Lake George. THE BILL POSTERS' WAR. Lakeman Lays Down His Arms He Prefers Peace A Pathetic Epistle. At last the war is over. Lakeman, the bill thrown aside the paste and brush, and in the place of mammoth posters he slings over his shoulder the U.

S. mail bag. The following epistle, re Bh from Judge Walsh's desk, will explain itself October, 1873. Honaberal Judge Walsh Sib tbe Case between me and Kenny Murphy Comes up to Day. and sir it 1b impossible for me to be in Court I have JuBt bin apointed mail messinger At the post Office and it comes in the Honr of the mails 1 am out of the Bill Posting Rather than be fighting with those men as that is all tha want is to drive me out of the business I will Call at the Court Room at 12 oclock Yours respectfully C.

W. Lake stan So It seems that the reporters and Court offlolals are never more to be treated to the sight of Lakeman coming into the Police Court with one side of his whiskers heavily daubed with paste of pretty solid consistency, the whloh he had perseveringly retained on those hirsute appendages as occular demonstration of indignities Buffered at the hands of Messrs. Kenny (t Murphy, who had either been abusing his fences, or had oaught him pasting on theirs Nor yet does it appear that they are to be further treated to a view of Kenny's red face and monster watch chain, as with noisy tread and confident air he marched in front of the olerk to get a warrant out, "the old thing Lakeman." The City Treasury, too, wiU suffer by this sudden and uncontemplated change on tbe part of Lakeman. Even at a moderate calculation it has been enriched a good round sum by the fines paid between these two bitterly antagonistic pasters. No longer any need of inscribing over the fences "This bninno man" or Kenny murphy nave exolnsive right," etc.

0. W. has drawn out, and has left the field to his younger competitors perhaps to leave letters at their respective houses. At any rate, until some new antagonist Blings his castor in the ring the pastebruBb war is over. HE WANTS TO BUILD.

About 4 o'clock this morning, the offloe of the American Diatriot Telegraph Company received a call by wire for a policeman from Dr. Talmage, whose residence la on the corner of Clinton and Joralemon streets. An officer was immediately dispatohed to the house, and arrived there in time to capture a burglar, who had been trying to get into the Doctor's apart ments.

It appears that he had been hanging around the place for some time. The moment that bis prea I ence was discovered Mr. Tahnage quietly sent for assistance by the wire connecting his house with the tel 1 egraph offloe. I Coiitinnation of the Panic in Stocks. Decline of II Per Cent; In Western Union The Bottom Falls Oat for Want of Sup port Failures of Stock Operators Money Tight and Growing More StringentGold PaU lng Toward Par, WaixStbict Ootober 93 P.

M. The feeling in the stock market is very panloky as we write. Before the opening of the second call there had been a decline of about per cent, in Western Union. Had this occurred on a comparatively steady market, or even four weeks ago, it would have precipitated a wild panic. As it the decline was witnessed calmly, but with forebodings of dread for the imme diate future.

Already another failure that of S. P. Hard has been announced, and in all brobability before this report oloses, we shall have others to record. The market has dropped for want of support. Parties who bought Western Union after the panic, in the hope that a dividend would be declared upon the stock, are disappointed and disgusted.

The leaders of yesterday and the day before, have orept away and left things to themselves. Consequently this stock has been sold and offered down until a ruinous decline is the result. The Btock stood at one o'clock within only 3.j per cent, of the lowest price on the day on which the Sto.k Exchange was closed. All the YanderbUt specialties were dragged down with it Lake Shore 1U as compared with the opening, and Central 2X Paolflo Mail fell lf per Rook Island, 8Ji Ohio, 2ii Wabash, Northwest, 2. Lake Shore stood then nearly 10 per oent.

below tbe lowest price of the panic This is a blow that will doubtless be confined to the Stook Exchange. The trading since the panic has been on margins in very few instances, and generally for cash. The banks have no more stock collaterals now than they had when the Exchange closed on the 20th and now they must defer marketing them until the business of the Exchange becomes more settled. Meantime, values will be reduoed by shrinkage until speculators see fit to take hold of them and the holders of large blocks will be among the largest sufferers. It would not be surprising if Jay Gould's and Commodore Yanderbilt's million melted perceptibly.

The shrinkage of to day was aided in a great measure by the stringency of the money market proper. This was the result of national and not artificial moans. Capitalists would not lend upon. Stock collaterals that were likely to be struck with a blight by a panic and one eighth and interest was the ruling rate early in the afternoon, and even this was ac cepted only upon extremely wide margins. About the only redeeming feature of the day waa the favorable reports from the bankB which are steadily gaining in resources, and it is hoped will soon be on their own feet without resting upon ona another.

This affair of to day may tend to defer the disruption of the pool, whioh was formed for mutual proteotion but the banks are now enabled to devote their attention to legitimate mercantile business and stook operations should not hereafter hamper them. It la reported to day that the Union Trust Company will be prepared to resume business on the 15th, and this, too, is regarded as a good sign. Gold fell to 109 to day or within per oent. of the lowest price reached in December, 1871. This is in consequence of the enormous exports; the failure of the European cereal crops, and the general favorable outlook for export business during the remainder of the year.

Tha abundance of oash gold in tho market waa demonstrated by the carrying rate of 7 per cent, gold, to 32nd sf one per oent. carrying, and the feeling in the room was decidedly bearish all the afternoon. After the break in stocks above noticed, there was a a rally, and Western Union suddenly moved np i per cent, as compared with the lowest figure but the reaction was of brief duration, and the market settled down again. The second failure was that of Gibson, Cassanova Jt which was announced both in the Gold and Stock exchanges. The failure of a large clothing house up town is reported, and causeB Borne fears that the trouble in mercantile circles is greater than has been stated.

The following letter from Mr. Underbill was read To lfth CVttems' Committee 0 IWnty I have accepted the candidacy only and entirely in the some spirit in which I joined the movement at the start, whioh was to help arouse the citizens to a just sense of their duties, respouslblllUea and privileges as oitizens, and to urge them to come forward and combine their forces, Irrespective of paBt party affiliations, to Beoure a change for the better in our munclpal affairs. For us of the Tweity Afth Ward, it would appear to be a particularly favorable time to make a start in the right direction and it seems to me there is great encouragement to be found in the fact that on Monday evening, and dirty streets, so large a number of" citizens turned out to take part in the meeting. I conolude by simply Baying, that I have oonsented to be the standard bearer with an honest desire to help on the oause. Very respectfully, J.

Judsment for defendants on demurrer to the cornplaint, She Accuses the Spanish Con sul of Robbing Her. Case Before Judge MoGne A Cwi ous Btory Where vta me jeweiry Go The Ha van a Bank the litigation. Inthe Cifr Court, before Judge MoCue, this morning, the, case of the People against Maria, Errioh de Luca came up on the return of an order to show cause, granted by His Honor the Judge, last Tues day. The case is a curious one and seemsto be creating considerable excitement in Spaaiah oirolea. The faots of the case, garnered from the motion pa pers of Counsellor Paul F.

Fuller, who appeared in support of the motion, are as ollowB The1 complainant, Madam TJrrach, was arrested under a warrant on the. third of August last, On her arrival mis port, irom Havana. On being: erree ted she waa searched and stripped of all her property. After being kept IN PRISON FOTJB DAYS, she was brought before his Honor Judge Alex. McOue, and ordered, to be Immediately discharged, but her property consisting as she alleges of jewelry and money, amounting to about nineteen thousand dollars, was not returned to her, and she now prays his Honor that the same may be ordered to be restored to her.

Among other things it is submitted by the counsel that the Ecarch of the prisoner and the seizure of her properly were both illegal and unauthorized. JThe warrant commanded merely the. arrest of the prisoner; there the duty of the officers ceased. The statute regulating search warrants, and the searching of prisoners after arrest (R. S.

746, sec. 1, 32, 36) were not observed. That it is the exclusive nrovince Tof Ithe court to authorize 'the search of the prisoner, and the officers cannot do so without such authority. It further appears from tha counsel's moving papers that the aot of 1855, regulating the custody of the property, taken from arrested persons, hod been set at nought in this matter by both the Spanish Consul and his legal advisers, WebBterft Craig. It la by this statute expressly enaoted that an Inventory shall be made by the property olerk of all property taken from any accused person and that a copy thereof.

BhaU be given to the person from whom the property is so taken. In this case, the lady solemnly swears that no copy was given her. The statute also expressly enacts that if the property so taken be claimed, the claimant, must establish his right to it to the satisfaction or the committing magistrate who may order it to be given up, otherwise it shall be returned to the accused. This is likewise alleged to have been disregarded. The Spanish Consul put in a written claim to the property, but was not called upon, in the words of the statute to "establish to the satisfaction of the committing magistrate that he was the rightful owner." The complainant was deprived of this protection and the property was banded over to the Spanish Consul, upon bis mere claim, made after Madame TJrrach had been discharged, and in spite offthe statute.

The counsel urges that the property should be at once replaced with the property clerk and the Consul made to establish his right, as required by the law, otherwise it should be returned to complainant. But the most serious pari of THIS BTJBPIOIOTJB TRANSACTION is in regard to a document that purports to be an assignment ef the property to the Consul, as being part of a robbery committed on the Commercial Bank of Havana. This assignment is repudiated by the lady, who accounts for her signature as follows She swears that while in prison on this false charge, the Consul brought her the document purporting to be an assignment, but which was represented to her to be an inventory of the property taken from her on being arrested. It being represented to her that it was necessary for her to sign in order to obtain her property, she did so sign, believing it to be sb represented, an inventory. It is urged on her behalf, in support of this explanation, to which she also swears, that she 1b unacquainted.

with the English language, being by birth Spanish, and so could hot detect the fraud. ThooJ lowing ia her affidavit, sworn in the above matter Our or Bboobxtn, County of Kinos, sb. Maria Urrach de Luca, being duly sworn, deposes and says That on the 20th day of July, 1873, she sailed from Havana for New York on the steamship City of Mexico, having previously procured from the authorities a pas port in legal form, and having personally engaged and paid for her passage. That on arrival at Quarantine on the third day of August, 1873, several men, to her unknown, but whom she has since ascertained to be one Manuel Suareg, on einployo'of the Spanish Consul at New York, and some police officers or detective agents, arrested the defendant and conveyed her to prison, whore she was detained until the Birth day of August, 1873, on which day she was brought before the Hon. Alex.

MoCue, City Judge, and by him ordered to be discharged. Deponent further says that at the time of making sucn arrest, said Suarez and the officers accompanying him searched deponent's baggage, and also seirched her person, and took from her, and have since kept and Btill keep from her, the fouowing property of the deponent 1. A draft to the order of this deponent for $17,000. 2. United Btates currency to the amount of $1,225.

3. United States gold coin to the amount of $371. 4. One locket set with diamonds. 5.

One diamond ring. 6. One diamond cross. 7. One enamelled watch.

That when deponent was discharged from arrest, she expected the return of her sold property, as she had been told that it would be restored to her immediately bmfwMM may be ordered. Denonent further savn that aha la anfiwlv guainted with the English language, and that the only iterpreter furnished her was one employed by the Deponent further says that she has been this dav in. formed that a certain document which she was made to sign on the fourth day of August, 1873, while in actual ouBtody, Bnd at the signing of whloh were present the Spanish consul and one or two of his clerks, together with several rolioe officers, was a snrrenAar nf mirh property: that the document which deponent signed wbb buawu uy uiu ouauian consul to oe an inventory ox Ilia nvmutl4v talrat. frown ha, artA tliai nxnnnl or pretended to read the said document to this deponent intheSponish language, and in so reading it, represented it uu mi iiiveiuuxy, ana notuxag more, ieponent nas been informed that such document was an assignment to said Spanish consul' of aU the property aforesaid, and an admission that suoh property was the croccedB of a robbery committed on the Bank of Commerce of iiavana. Deponent emphatically denies that any such assign ment or admission was ever Bicned bv her with know! edge, and avers that her signature thereto was ob tained by fraud and under duress, the representation being made to her that the same was an inventory of the property whioh hod been taken from her and which would be restored lb her that Baid property did truly and legally belong to Uub deponent, and was in no way her MaSIA Ubbach de Lcoa, mark Sworn to this 1st day of October, 1878, before me, O.

Consul also read an affidavit of the employe Suarez, who corroborated the statement of the Consul.

Mr. Craig stigmatised such charges against the Consul as unfounded and scandalous. The Consul simply did his duty. The Judge deolded to try the claim to the property, and fixed the 16th inst. for that purpose.

Cunningham cannot be Oscar Hoelrander on Trial for Murder. i IA Drunken Tight on Shipboard Fol iowea Dy uuicnery xae awry of the Crime Belated on the Stand, I This morning, according to the appointment made by Diatdot Attorney Brltton on Monday jlast, Oscar Hoeliander was placed on trial in the Court of Oyer ana Terminer, oexore ouago uunn, lor we i murder of Gustavo Olsen, on the night of the 13th of September last, on board the Norwegian bark Alliance, at the Atlantlo Dock. The trial occasioned less excitement than any under trial which has been held in this county for years.

At ten o'clock there were present the usual number of lawyers to attend the call of the calendar and witnesses in the various civil oases; Judge Gilbert called the calendar through and the lawyers learning that there 'would be no opportunity to try their cases speedily departed, and the court room was deserted by all except those whose duty called them to remain. Even in the gallery there were bat seven spectators, four men and ttiree small boys. The prisoner, Hoelander, is a Russian, born in Finland, of very small Btatue and forbidding appearance, and about twenty two years of age. He was represented by James D. Regmert, Esq.

The prosecution was conducted by District Attorney Britton. THB JT7BY was quickly obtained, very few of those called upon having heard of the murder. Two who were called were excused, because they had formed an opinion, and one was peremptorily challenged by the defense. The following gentlemen were selected from the panel: Guy D. Wells, Charles H.

Warner, Nelson M. Shepard, John F. Weiss. Julius W. Meirill, William B.

Haskell, William E. Waraer, William Fowler, Clark M. Darby, Richard White, Both Bradford, Henry Beales. THE OPENING. District Attorney Britton opened the case very briefly.

He Bald that the prisoner was indioted for murder. He was a stranger in a strange land, and could not Bpeak the language of this country, and consequently the greater part of the testimony must be given through an interpreter. The deceased and the prisoner, with several of their shipmates, had been off in New York drinking, and all came back Bomewbat under the influence of liquor. An altercation arose, when they went below, and Hoeliander, in the course of it, when striking at some one else, struck Olsen. A light then ensued, Olsen and Hoeliander went upon the deck, and shortly afterwards Olsen received his death wound, being Btab bed in a vital part.

Ho was taken to the hospital, and died a few days afterwards. Mr. Britton concluded by. explaining to the jury the change made by the Legislature last Winter, in the law of murder, and saying that he should not ask at their hands a verdict of murder in the first degree or manslaughter in the third degree. THE TESTIMONY.

The first witness called was Dr. Edward S. Bunker, of No. 230 Henry street. He testified that he examined GuBtavo Olsen about two days before his death, at the Long Island College Hospital.

He was very low, had a great deal of fever and was much prostrated; the witness; made the pott mortem examination; Olsen had ffn incised wound on the left side, between the fifth and sixth ribB, which penetrated the lung; the lung was entirely collapsed; the other lung was healthy, and the rest of the man was healthy: the cut was the 'cause of death; Olsen was a man taller than Hooilander by some inches, and apparently about forty years of age. ANTHON EVEBSON testified: I am a sailor; I was laBt employed on the bark Alliance; in September she lay at the Atlantio Dock, Brooklyn; I knew Olsen, the deceased; we were shipmates; the Alliance came to this country from Southampton, England. Olsen and I shipped in Norway on the 18th of April. Tho vessel was a Norweigan vessel; Hoeliander shipped before I did; I was on board the vessel the night Hoeliander was stabbed; Olsen was not on shore that night: Hoeliander came on board about halfpast ten o'clock, with the steward and Christian; Olsen told Hoeliander to be quiet; I was in my berth; Hoeliander talked a while and then went to bis berth and lay down. The next I heard there was a dispute between Christian and the steward Christian spoke very loud and made Olsen mad he got np and told Christian to bo quiet and sat down on my chest; the ateward.came over again to Chris tian Hoelionden, got up to defend Mm; I did not see the steward strike Christian his fist in his faoe; Hoelianden struck at and hit Olsen accidentally Olsen said th ue hit ham again, he would strike him back thi two orthree blowB were struck this was in the forecastle they were quiet fora little while, but again several blows were exchanged this time the light went out Olsen started for the deck and Hoeliander followed him; the second mate and the watchman were on deck I did not go up on deck nut 1 I heard calls for a doctor and the police; whrn 1 went on deck they took Olsen to the dootor it was about two or three minutes from the tune they went on deck until I heard the call for a doctor I saw no knife in anybody's hand on that night; I do not know that any one on board had a knife; I could sea that Olsen was bleeding just under the left Hoeliander was very much excited; he might have been drinking some bnt he was not tipsy; Olsen had not been drinking at all.

Cross examined Tho crew was thirteen men; ten were in the forecastle Hoeliander Christian and the Stewart went ashore about six o'clock and returned about a quarter past ten; while these men were ashore Olsen was on board Olsen and I were in our berth when these men came on board; the first thing I heard was OlBen telling Hoeliander to keep quiet. As far as I know no one went out of the forecastle with Hoelrander and Olsen: I do not know that Christian Anderson went out with him; he has run away; there had been no difficulty as far as I know before this time between Hoelrander and Olsen; we all had knives. HANS OLSEN, sent in the forecastle on the night of the 13th of September, told substantially the same story as that told by Everson. With this testimony DiBtrlot Attorney Britton rested the case for the prosecution. THE DEFENSE.

Mr. Reymert addressed the jury at some length. He claimed that the prosecution had not fully proved that Olsen came to his death at the hands of the accused. There was no witneBB of the stabbing, and Christian Anderson, who had been on the deck, also had run away. There was, he Insisted, more suspicion attaching to Anderson than to the prisoner at the bar.

Mr. Regmert did not adduce any witnesses on behalf of the defense, and when he had concluded his address to the jury, Mr. Britton addressed them. Judge Gilbert then cherged them briefly, and they retired about half past two. BOND ROBBERY, A Large Account at Kessler's Bank.

Proceedings Taken This Horning to Attach his Balance Counselor Keady Gets a Check for $1,800. Jesse Johnson, the Assistant Corporation Counsel, this morning applied to JasUce Gilbert in the Special Term of the Supreme Court for an attachment against the property of Rudolph Eesaler, the clerk of Controller Schroeder, who is now under arrest on the charge of having stolen two Boulevard bonds of the value of $2,000. The attachment waa iBsued in a suit commenced by the city against Eessler for the value of the bonds taken by him. judge Gilbert granted the attachment and it was at once placed in the hands of the Deputy Sheriff for service. It appears by the affidavit of Controller Schroeder upon which the attachment was Issued that when Eessler wsb arrested he bad money deposited in the First National Bank of WiUiamsburgh amounting to the account was opened on the third of July last and the sum of $4,271.48 had been deposited altogether.

Before the third of July Eesaler had no bank account anywhere and represented when he was appointed to his position that he had no funds or property and that he would be dependent for support upon his salary reoeived from the city which was $1,800. A further examination made since shows that other bonds of the value of more than $3,000 have since the third of July, 1876, been taken, aU of which were under the control of EeBsler. On the 2d of Ootober Eessler deposited $1,715, and on the 6th he paid to Patriok Ready, the sum of $1,800 by check, and he now draws a check for $001.52, which Is the precise amount of the balance on the book to his oredit. Mr. Schroeder concludes his affidavit by saying that Mr.

Eeady defended Eessler in the proceedings before the Police Court, and although he (Schroeder) has known Eessler for two years, he never knew Eessler and Eesdy to bave any business relations, and he believed that the check for $1,800, and the check for 601.52, were drawn lor the purpose of secreting and making away with the money, which Is the proceds of the bonds stolen from the city, and whloh rightfully belongs to it. The Eagle reporter was informed that the Deputy Sheriff, as soon as the warrant of attachment was delivered to him, proceeded io the First National Bank with all possible speed. EXPLOSION OF BENZINE. Last evening about half, past five, a tank, containing a quantity of benzine, in the Btesm soouring establishment of Julius Thlebold, 240 Degraw street exploded from some unknown csubo.

FELLOWS? A Conundrum Which Members of the Convention Find Difficulty in Answering The Best Men in the Party Sick. VIEWS OF THE LEADERS. Samuel MLeau, Mayor Powell, Lorin Palmer, Dominick Roche, Register Mclaughlin, E. T. Wood, Win.

G. DeWitt, and a Host of Others Interviewed. AN INTERIOR VIEW OF THE ARRANGEMENT. THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOB MAYOB. The nomination last night made for Mayor by the Bepublioans appears to strike everybody with surprise, and none are more surprised than the rank and file of the Bepablican party.

Who the nominee Is, and what he is, is told in another part of this paper. What is thought of the nomination and the prospects of the nominee's success by prominont men of both parties, waa a work that an Eagle reporter this morning set about finding out. The first person tho reporter called upon, at the early hour of half poet eight, was his Honor, MAYOB POWELL. The Mayor was reading a morning paper, when the reporter addressed him as follows Reporter Mr. Powell, what do you think of the Republican nomination for Mayor Mr.

Powell I am perfectly satisfied with it. I think it is an excellent nomination. Smiling.) Reporter Who is this Mr. Fellows 7 Mr. Powell I never saw the gentleman in my life, but I understand that he Is President of the Farmers' and of the Eastern District, and partner In a firm doing a large bU3ineBB in New York City.

Reporter What do you think of his prospects of election 1 Mr. Powell (smilingly) I think I will have to go in and beat all of them. Reporter Do you know whether Mr. Fellows is a member of, or is backed by this secret politico religious organization, known as the Order of United Amerisan Mechanics Mr. Powell No, sir, I do not but I think it more than likely that this nomination was made with a view Of conciliating them, sb it were.

Reporter Do you suppose the party was afraid to nominate Mr, Ropes Mr. Powell Yes, I do, Mr. Ropes has always been A KICKER," and always will be. He would be unmanageable as a party man. The man who is placed in power by the leaders of any party ought to hold himself ready to respond to the wishes ef the men who placed him there.

Now (very earnestly) I defy any man to say that I ever have been, or ever cam be used for wrong purposes by any party, but in making nominations or appointments I shall always hold myself ready to accede to the wishes of the men who have placed me in power. That's politics. SAMUEL MCLEAN, was met ascending the stepB of the City Hall, and as the reporter glanced toward him Mr. McLean Bmiled very broadly. Reporter Mr.

McLean what do you think of the Republican nomination for Mayor. Mr. McLean I think sir that the party has shown itself unequal to the occasion emphatically unequal to the occasion and Mr. McLean resolutely walked off. HON DOMINICK KOOHE passed through the rotunda just after the reporter had spoken to Mr.

McLean, and being followed into the Assessors' office, the following short conversation ensued Reporter Mr. Roche how does the nomination of Mr. Fellows for Mayor, strike you Mr. Roche I think It is a very good nomination. Mr.

Fellows is an excellent business man, and I think he will make a good Mayor. Renorter Did von ever hear of him before he was nominated. Mr. Roche; Not to any extent, no sir. Reporter Doesn't it look as if his nomination was "sprung" Upon the Convention Mr.

Roche Yes, I think it does look that way somewhat. After leaving Mr. Roche the first person the reporter met in the hall was ASSESSOB J. T. NOBTON, a prominent Republican, and Secretary of the Republican General Committee, who looked at the reporter in a quizzical sort of way while the following conversation was going on: Reporter Mr.

Reporter How was his nomination brought about? Mr. Norton Well, that's the question. He was talked about considerable up to about ten days ago, but when asked if he would accept the nomination, he absolutely declined, saying, he would have nothing whatever to do with it. And that's the way the thing was understood up to last night. Reporter Do you know whether he is backed by this Becret Bociety known as the Order of United American Mechanics, or not Mr.

Norton No, I do not, but I don't think he is. E. H. CHITTENDEN, of the Committee of Fifty," was next seen by the reporter. The reporter was talking at the time with Mr, Judah B.

Toorhees, Olerk of the Surrogate's Court, when they were accosted by Mr. Chittenden as follows Mr. Chittenden So yon straight Republicans have Confessed judgment, have you laughing as he spoke. Mr. Vborhees (apparently astonished) What do you mean Mr.

Chittenden (seating himself in the witnesses' chair) Well, when the defendant In a suit knows his weakness and wants to get rid of paying the costs, he generally confesses judgment," which leaves the costs at 6 only. Mr. Voorhees laughing And you mean to charge that on Aid. Richardson, I suppose. Mr.

Chittenden Yes, sir, that's what I mean. Reporter Then I underetarid you bb expressing yourself to the effect that the Republican party, by this action, has made a confession of weakness. Chittenden Yea, air, that's what I mean. Passing out of the Surrogate's Court, the first man the reporter met was COL. E.

T. WOOD, Chairman of the National Democratic Association, and the two were almost immediately joined by the Preai den Jof the Liberal Republican Committee, HENBT 8. BELLOWS, when the following triangular conversation ensued. Reporter Mr. Bellows, you have undoubtedly heard of the nomination made yesterday by the Republican party for Mayor Mr.

Bellows No, I haven't who is it 1 Reporter Mr. Charles H. Fellows. Mr. Bellows And who is he Col.

Fellows will be elected? Mr. DeWitt No I do not, but I don't want to have anything to say about this matter. Passing over to the City Hall the reporter went up into the Board of City Works, and held the following convetfion with LOBIK PALMES, ESQ. Reporter Mr. Palmer, how does the Republican nomination for Mayor strike you 7 Mr.

Palmer I am satisfied' with it, if he only aocepts. Reporter I there is considerable doubt in the minds of Republicans as well as Democrat touching Mr. Fellow's acceptance. Mr. PalmerThat was the great dlffloulty in the conr time when there was no Immsdiato pros poet of making of the future.

In 1857, Uoense was paid for seven cars at the rate of $20 each. In 1858, a portion of Fifth wiuu waq wneaaway uy amrma ana requuvu. ua repaired, une dty aid not attend to it ana Jttonardson being unabte to run his oars, stepped In and did tha necessary work at, his own expense. Next year avenue Was agaia. render impassable, and Mr.

Richardson again plaoed it in order, at an expense for the iwo years 'Ane I acta being hum. rojaayor Ealbfleisch he assented to virtual remission of the license fees for these two years, giving as his reasons that the Fifth avenue Use (particularly) Had been' originated and, kept, in operation at a time that there was nothing 'hut: open' lots, marshes and darkness in the ptxUon of the city along wmon ute line extended, ana toss we rauroaa had done more for that section of South Brooklyn than 'anvthintf iott In far i tnr tha mtm but an insignificant item in exchange for the benefit derived by the property owners, and by the city. The number of cara on these two routes for the present year is 86, for which' we believe the license fee is doe, jand not disputed. The real difficulty appears to be that the money that should have been received far licenses was allowed for repairing streets, and on that ground both Corporation Counsellor and Hack Inspector, indirectly, will be brought to account by the Alderman of the Seventh if he insists upon making a fight. MYRTLE AVENUE.

This avenue is incumbered by granite blocks to snob. an extent as to make passage diffloult, not only along the sidewalks, where the space is contracted to less than half the original width, but the carriage way, where the work is progressing at an easy pase. From present appearances the paving will not be completed before the cold weather sets in. The contractor should hurry up and not let the snow and ice overtake him. A TEMPERANCE LECTURE.

In faot, he put his hand into his rear pocket as though he had a pistol there.

"I rise to a point of order," Baid Mr. Connors.

"Tho Committee has not reported, and until they do report nothing else is in order, and Mr. Burns cannot proceed with his speech." After a noisy debate, Mr. Oonners was convinced that Mr. Burns was speaking to his motion, A member of the assemblage slipped into the game withremarkderogatory.toMr.JConnerSjWhowas accused of being A CLANCY MAN, and this seemed to be regarded as a term of exquisite reproach. At length one voioe shouted, "I move that Mr.

Burns haB the floor." Another, "I second tho motion," and Mr. Burns proceeded with comparative calm. He reiterated his desire that the meeting should wait for oity and oounty nominations to be made, as if this meeting should anticipate them, many would stay swag and the strength of the party would be lessened. He favored the passage of a resolution that any one who should receive a nomination at this meeting, and thereafter bind himself to attend any of the primaries either of the national or the regular wing of the party, should be declared disqualified for office. Mr.

Conners had evidently kept quiet as long aB he could, and now took a hand in with the remark that "Mr. Burns having said that the Committee has no right to make nominations until after the city and" A MiaUNDEBSTANDING. Mr. Burns The gentleman misunderstood me. I did not Bay that Mr.

Mr. Conners continued talking somewhat as follows The gentleman having said that the Committee has no riant" Chairman Yon misunderstood me, Bir. Mr. I did not. WHO HAD THE FLOOB Chairman You are out of order, sir.

Mr. I don't know whether I am or not. A voice I move the chair is sustained. Another voice I second the motion. Another I move that the motion be reconsidered.

Another I second the motion. Another I move the committee be discharged. Anothei? I second the motion. Chorus Order Order I Another chorus I second the motion. The Chairman was finally heard to say that it was out of order.

No one seemed to know exactly what was thus rulsd out, but a comparative calm fell on the assemblage, and Mr. Conners's voice again became audible I move an addition to the committee of two from each election district." AO ATM Chairman, (promptly.) That ia out of order. Conners proceeded talklug defiantly in support of his motion, and during his speech a motion to adjourn was made, seconded put and carried, without interrupting hiB flow of eloquence, but the confusion that followed deprived him of bearers, and he gradually cooled off. "Why don't you come out and talk 7" "I know one Clancy man on the Committee." "You're a liar." "I'mlworklng for Donohue," were samples of the exclamations to be heardjall over the hall, together with accusations and denials that $800 had been put up for the Committee by Clancy. The Chairman had a telegram from Col.

Davis regretting that severe illness prevented bis being present to address the meeting. THE WEATHER. Probabilities. WsSHiKaTON, D. October 9.

N. Dwyer, the lowest bidder for the contract, who was rejected technical grounds, as he claims, makes the following statement I have been a bidder on those contracts. I never entered for a contract before, nor have I ever held any 'office, I had my bid plaoed on file at tho office of the Commissioners of Oharitv, and went in with a full intention of supplying all the articles in a bona fide manner, and at such prices as I knew were just to the letter. For Class No. 1.

my whole bid waa $22,700. For OIsbbNo. 2, (groceries) $18,824. For Class No. 3, $1,535.

All of those claBSCB I intended to furnish according to sample. My sureties sre perfectly good, and I am well known as capable of the contract in an honest and satisfactory manner. My partner in the transaction is Mr. Patrick Lynch, oorner of Fourth place and Court street, who is the closest figurer on goods in Kings County and the smartest grbceryman, from an experience both here and in the old country, of twenty four years. We went in for the contract knowing what we were doing.

To throw TIB out they resorted to a very small technicality. I maintain that in classes one and three I was the lowest bidder. In classes two, a Mr. Tucker, who bid $17,174 was the lowest. Mr.

Tucker not being known I became loweBt bidder for olass No. 2. Consequently I am the lowest bidder for the whole oontroct, and as a citizen ef Brooklyn of over twenty years standing, I demand the satisfaction of my just claims. THE PObT OFFICK. New Begmlations by Postmaster Talbot.
