CITY HALL MOTES. MONET MARKET. POLICE NEWS. A LOVER'S LUCK, CHARITY. 4 O'CLOCK EDITION TWEED ALL RIGHT.

Improving in SeaUh JBegralarlr Detailed as Doctor's Orderly Vncom plaiiiiaig and WeU Behaved. "Ere'e the extra death of Tweed fall particulars ot the death of William M. New York was made hideous last night by this cry of the newsboys, and many umped out of bed and bought the "extra," only to be sold hy the enterprising, though bad prlnclpled newsrendere. This morning an Eagle rapoi tec made inquiry concerning Tweed of Commissioner stern, who was found exploring the Tomba of Centre street. The Commissioner has visited this stone sarcophagus early every morning since Sharkey's escape.

Warden Johnson is invariably his companion in the melancholy ramble through the solemn corridors of tho great stone coffin. Each morning they march with imposing silence to the ceH lately occupied by the fugitive prisoner, and peer through the bars as though they hardly realized he was gone. To the reporter's question Commisrioner Stern re SUPERINTENDENT FOLK DISGUSTED. A Ijiquor Dealer Acquitted by a Petit Juiy on a Test Case. On Sunday, about 1 o'olotkin the afternoon, Superintendent Folk stood watching from tbe opposite corner the liquor stora of John UoGoldrlok, corner ot Myrtle avenue and BMllman street.

He wanted to see how the Excise law could be violated In a place apparently aiosed. He nottoed oonple ot mea going in thrtragh the hall floor, and he followed them; He was met at the dpor by John Ho Goldrlck, the roprietor. Him the Superintendent collared and led htm into the barroom. The brother of the proprietor, Patrick MoOoldriok, waa tebJtadthe bar, and in Cront were several men. They were not drinking, but the half quaffed glasses on the counter indicated that they might have been, snporintendent Folk with his disengaged hand collared the barkeeper and then marched both of his prisoners, out of the place and to the Fourth Preclnot station Heme.

He ordered them to be looked up till nest morning. The prisoners pleaded to be brought before a magistrate, saying that (hey eonld readily procure bail, but the Superintendent wouldn't hear of it and they were compelled to pass the night in the Station House. On Monday morning they ware brought befere Justice Biley, and, through their counsel, Henry O. Place, demanded A JUBT Superintendent Folk and John Oakey, counsel to the THE LESOX LIBRARY. Amomg the best librwien of thig coup try, if not th world, the Lenox Library, now rapidly progressing to completion, destined to take high rank.

It is most eligibly situated on Fifth avenue, facing the Central Park, corner of Seventieth street. It hu a frontage of 100 feet on the avenue and extendi to tke rear US fast on Seventieth street, tha property alone thus occupied being worth a half million of dollar. This site has, for many years, been rewired by the Lennox family for the purpose to which it is now dedt eatedj and its value has, dor jig that interval, appreciated almost beyond belief having been recently sola in tha vicinity for $70,000 whioh before tbe com mencamant of work apon th Central Park might have beenburchased for leas than $1,000. Tha billding is rectangular In shape, and is of almost Doris simplicity and design, but it nevertheless, presents; a substantial and Imposing appearance, due to the oksste and esact forms petnliai to this order of ttreoiaa decorative art. The material of whiahlt is constructed i Lockport limestone of a vsry light oolor, presenting very much tke appearance and affect of marble.

It ii confidently expeoted that tbe building wiU be finished by the early Bummer of next year, and that tha books so far collected will be put in place by the first of July Tha book casts are of iron of an ornamental design and Uka tha permanent fixtures, and, as indeed, the whole building is, are Intended to be fire proof. The estimated value or the present atookot books is said to be five hundred thousand dollar, and includes the most complete and valuable coUcotion of Bibles in America. The plan of the building seems to contemplate the collection and exhibition of st. tnary and pictures, galleries for these objects being provided for on both floors. In addition to the library rooms and art galleries, a convenient and weU arranged lecture room forma a part of the seaond floor arrangements, and in this, it is presumed, that lectures on art and kindred subjects will be given.

So far as we could ascertain, the publla use of this Institution will be subj eot to regulation! similar to those which prevail at the Astor Library, and while it would seem almost ungracious to offer criUciBm at this time, it will be, nevertheless, a oauss for regret, to a very Urge olass of intelligent and well disposed persons who find occasion in the course of their professional pursuits to frequently avail themselves of the prrileges and facilities afforded by institutions of this character and to whom the value of these privileges will bt very mush curtailed by the Imposed restrictions as to hours of use within which they are limited. Under whatsver olroumstanees, however, as to use, this building will be placed at the dlspeial of the readers fond of researeh and rara Telumas and the art loving portion ef the community it cannot bat prove a wslooma and valuable aooession to the intellectual luxuries and cemplatentu of the present form of civilisation, and as the appreciation of these desirable adjuncts to a people's education Increases, it may he that both the yubllc authorities and large spirited men of wealth will add to these facilities, and whether built and maintained at publio or private oest, that they may bo enjoyed daily and hourly by all seeking knowledge and recreation under the least possible restcictieuB consistent with their proper care and preservation. Personal Tax A. Complaint froxu a Taxpayer No Personal Property Ex. oept a Wife and Baby How Tax payers Oct into Trouble TJie Truant Hooei Recently Henry F.

Enssell, residing at 104 Pacific street, was served with a personal tax 611 amounting to (107.57, on a valuation of 13,000. To day In reply, he sent to the Tax Collector, together with the bill, the following note Nrw Yobx, December 3, 1873. Lemuel Bnrrout, Deab Bra In reply to the enolosed I would state that I am a olerk on a salary, with no personal property except "wife and baby." Yours respectfully, H. P. BUBBEIX.

The Collector is not disposed to levy on the wife and baby, as he 1b already in possession of a wife and four babies, but If Mr. Bussell was possessed of property of another kind he would have no heBltanoy in selling It under the hammer. Probably Mr. Bussell's case is that of a great many othesfcitizens who complain and are perplexed because warrants for personal tax have been served on them, as though they were blessed with an abundance of this world's goods. This is the penalty of being considered rich without the enjoyment and ease which wealth entails.

From one of this class of unfortunates the Eaolh is In receipt of the following BnoosLrw, Deoember 3, 1S73. To th Editor of Ou Brooklyn Eagle Many persons In our city have Just been served with warrants for "personal tax" who are not the fortunate owners of so much of this world's goods. "What can they do about it 1 Misfobtuhe. THE ANSWXB. The answer is that if they oan pay, they must pay their tax, or their property will be levied on by the Tax Collector and sold at auotion, unless they can show that they were never served with a notioe in May hurt to appear before the Board of Assessors and certify to the amount of their personal property, if auy.

If they were out of town, or were sick at the time the notice was left at their residences, the law permits them to appear, even now, before the Assessors and have errors which embarrass them corrected. But, if they neg lected to obey the notice, as no doubt quite a number or tnem did, there is no remedy left them, they must pay the bill, or have their property Belzed by the Collector. In case they have NO PROPERTY SAVE A WIFE AND BABr, or some other article which is not' marketable at the present time, their case is a hopeless one as far as tho city is concerned, and Ihey have the privilege of being recorded among our wealthy citizens, without paying the city for its generoBity in sccordlng it to them. But it is a well established fact, that quite a large number of oihzenBpay no heed to Hie notices whioh are annually Issued by the Board of Assessors, inviting citizens who have been assessed ou personal property to appear and certify to the correctness or otherwise, of the assessment made ont by tho Board. In making out this assessment, the Board are guided by the business of the citizen and tho neighborhood in which he lives; and these data are obtained from tho directory.

THIS FACT EXPLAINS why such men as Mr. Bussell, living on salaries and without personal property, save a wife and baby, get into trouble They ore known among their intimate acquaintances as clerks or accountants drawing moderate salaries; but to the world through tbe medium of tbe directory they rush to be known as of higher and more opulent stations, and therefore they foolishly inform the canvasser when he eomes around to get nameB for the directory, or probably their vain little wives do it for them, that Mr. B. or Mr, C. is doing business is New York as a merchant.

The canvasser writes Mr. B. or Mr. C. down a merchant in the large firm of Boberts and aB ho describee bim so he is announced to the world.

The harm is done. THE TIME COMES when he must pay for his foolish Wfling. The Board of Assessors open the directory, and discover Mr. B. to be a merchant, residing in a respectable neighborhood.

Surely, judging from his standing, he mUBt be worth about $30,000 in personal estate. He is so accredited, and notico is given of their action. But he pays no heed to the warning. He tears up the notice, throws it into the street, and thinkB no more of it until the Deputy Tax Collector calls at his door with his tax bill. Then he sits down and pens a' note to the Collector, confessing his lowly estate of a olerk on a salary, with no personal property oxospt wife and baby.

THETBUANT HOME AGAIN. The Controller and Aid. Hopes had a mooting this morning in regard to the management of the Truant Home. Ald.Bopes, it appears, is not satisfied with the manner in which the Superintendent has been conducting himself toward some one of his subordinates. The publio will remember that some months ago, Mr.

Demarest, the Superintendent of the Home, discharged a man, because he was inclined to imbibe too freely, and too often. The Committee of tho Board of Aldermen charge of the Home.Jaustained Mr. Demarest. But now, the complaint reaohes th Hall that he has removed a sober, and, in every respect, competent man, simply to make room for one of his favorites, a mendicant carpenter. The old charge ofMr.

Demarest keeping trotting horses at the city's oxpense, is revived Mr. Demaieit will be given ample time to defend hir, regime before one of the committees. Probably Mr. Schroeder will send one of his experts at $16, $10, or $5 a day, to investigate the condition of the Home. BEDFORD AVENUE EFAXES.

Some two or three weeks since the property owners on Bedford avenue petitioned the Board of City Works to repair portions of the street. The petition was referred to the Chief Engineer, Col. Adorns, whs made the following report to the Board, to day: EKOiKEKn's Office, December 4, 1873. To the President ef the Board of City Works The streot (Bedford avonue) has been examined, and although it is, doubtless, very desirable that tho slight defects should be made good before being worse, yet I could not recommend that anything be attempted in the way of repairs to this street until the nexii season. BeBpectf ully, J.

W. Adams. DELINQUENT OONTBAOTOBS. Terrence McOuiggan, M. Dalton, (Queen Silmartin, P.

Deane and P. O. Howard, Street Gleaning Contractors, were notified to remove filth soattered over streots within their respective districts by them while engaged in removing ashes, or the Board of City Works would have it done at their expense. A 'VETO ON BT. PATBIOK's LITEIVABY SOCIETY.

At a recent meeting of the Board of Aldermen, Aid. Molntyre offered a resolution taBtmoting the proper officers to lease the building formerly ocoupied by Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, to St. Patrick's Literary Sooiety, of St. John's Church, Gowanus, for five years, at a nominal rent.

The Mayor has vetoed the resolution, because Section 8, Title 13, of the new Charter requires all Buch buildings or property no longer used by the Fire Department to be Bold immediately at auotion, and the proceeds turned into the Treasury, and thereby it is made unlawful to lease them. The veto will be forwarded to the Common Counoil at its next session. Today, it was filed in the City Olerk'B office. MAYOR HDNTEB. John W.

Hunter, Mayor eleot, took the oath of offloe yesterday in the City Clerk's office. Shortly after, he made a tour of the departments, posting himself for his first messago to the Board of Aldermen for 187). BAPBAOTOBY DBAYMEN. The draymen who station their horses' and carts at the intersection of Fulton street and DeKalb avenue have incurred the displeasure of the Board of City Works. Having failed to remove daily the filth accumulating at their station, as the instruotionB of the Board required for the comfort of pedestrians who happened to pass near, they have been, or will bo shortly, notified to moro on.

The Board issued instructions to the Superintendent of Streets to that effect to day. MISCELLANEOUS JOTTINGS. Commissioner Whiting has returned to the oity, which he left a few days atnoe to assist at the burial of a near relative. Secretary Bogart reports that the tax receipts for yesterday amounted to P. Bnnis, clerk of the Fifth District Court, returned to the treasury to day $112.3, aa his xeoeipts for the month of November.

SUSPENSION OP WOBE. The repair fund is nearly exhausted, and Winter has set in. Both these causes will bring about the gradual discharge of the repair gangs now employed by Department of City Works. Some will be dropped this week, others will have to go next week, and it is more than probable that work will be suspended altogether about the middle of the month. PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS.

The Board of Polioe and Exeisa this after noon, announced the following promotions and appoint meute. Among the officers promoted is Boundsman John Graham, of the York street Polioe Station, who gained the wreath by merit and well performance of duty.

There are twelve patrolmen detailed to the Sixth sub Precinct, who, with three sergeants and two doorkeepers and one roundsman, complete the force at this preclnot, with a station house without cells. THE PARK THEATBE. Have tbe Prices Been Reduced? To the Editor af the Brooklyn Eagle: Concerning Mr, Samuells's Park Theatre, 1 fully agree with you that every honest person in difficulties should have as much forbearanoe extended to him sb consistently can be alven.

But it is a mistake to think that the public can be attracted by a show of au approximation to ioir pnoes, wmon oner paying find they have to etand np or have from twenty five cents to a dollar extra to pay for teats. For instance for four baok rowB of the boxes, aa formerly termed, but for the fifth twenty nye cents extra, and so on till you have doubled the price of admission. Charge a price, whatever it is, but let the whole of that part be given to those who oome first, and mark no seat taken unless it is. If the pricoB are fair, the company good, and the house large enough to pay a good company, I have confidence in the Brooklyn nnblio to sustain a theatre so managed. But to give the public a lot of worn qui piays ai prices nign enougn, roc.nne opera, no one can succeed.

I speak from my experience of two visits to Hie Park Theatre under the nreeent manage ment and. waa very much dissatisfied. I do not write una as one wisnwg an. aamueus any oarxn xax irooi it. I do not know, the gentleman and wish him and every spirited man or lady all success; but I believe the nnblio have rights.

Very few liko to tell persons what they think are their faults, and perhaps I have intruded too far now, bnt I wish Mr. SamaeUs's Theatre to succeed, end think one of the reasons of failure is the enormouB extra charges.

The Virginius Affair and the Gold Market. Settlement of the Trouble About the Gold Exchange Banfc What Congress May Do Tne Stock Speculation. Wall btbebt, December iSX. M. The news that the Virginius would be surrendered in the barbo of Havana and that the trouble with Spain was likely to be adjusted amicably has a tendency to weaken gold this afternoon and sales were made at 108X.

Then came the news that Senator Sherman's bill for the payment of the loan of 1888 known as the 74'B had passed the Senate and the bears In gold fait easier. The trouble in relation to the Gold Exchange bank whioh yesterday threatened serious disaster to that Institution, has to day been amicably adjusted. Yester day afternoon, Mr. A. M.

Benedict, the new president bandog his resignation to the Board of Directors; this afternoon the Board wiU meet, and in all probability re elect B. L. Edwards lo the presidency. The news of the resignation of Benedict was receiv ed by the members of the Gold Exohange to day with every demonstration cf satisfaction, and immediately there was a demand on all sides mat Mr. Edwards should take the position.

His management of the Institution during the past two years hss been entirely satisfactory to the dealers, and his careful supervision during the late panic was of incalculable benefit to the operators in the market. At one time, during the second week of the panic a combination of ciroumstances threatened to preolp itate new terror on the street, but Mr. Edwards and the Directors of the bank, were 'equal to the emergency and the difficulties were quietly removed. It is expected that Congress will settle the question of free banking very soon. There appears to be a unanimity of sentiment on this point, and so soon as this Is provided for, we may expect to see other reforms fol low.

With respect to the legal tender reserve, it is now conceded that the whole of it must be used, and if Con gress would immediately direct the manner of its issue, another step would be taken in the right direobon. After that the Finance Committees will have ample time in which to divise a plan for making the currency elastic. There is already a strong opposition to the proposition to interfere with the National Banking law, either by prohibiting the payment of interest on deposits, or by rogulating the percentage of reserve. This opposition comes from the banks all over the country, and will mnke itself felt when the time comes. The gold operators have come to tha conclusion that there will not be for many months any sales of gold by tho Treasury, and, therefore, as soon aa the merchants get in a position to remit in settlement of their obligations abroad, tha demand for coin will materially change the features of the speculation.

The stock market showed a decline on almost all ihe leading stocks to day. In the absence of any better reason for thore were no outside influences at work so far as was known the decline may be attributed to the natural reaction following the extreme advance of yesterday. No large blocks of stock have changed hands and no one appears to be engineering a movement in the Exohange. The bank of England reports a gaining over $3,000, 000 in bullion this week, and money in the open market in London is a little below the bank rate. This case ought to affect exchange here, and that it does not, is due chiefly to tho faot that the demand for sterling Is U(ht.

It Is reported that the affairs of Grinnell Go. will be settled this week without having resort to the bankruptcy courts. The clearing house reports Bhow a slight decrease in legal tenders. From the Union Trust Company it is reported that business 1b progressing smoothly ouce more, and deposits are Increasing daily. The etock market closed dull, and very little business was done during the last half hour.

There was no especial weakness observable except in Pacifio Mail, which settled down to low figures. The activity in Boston, Hartford and Erie continued almoBt to the close of the market. Money has been moderately easy, averaging about seven per cent.

8. Magrath, Justice Waleli on tne Advisability of Paying Board Bills, Whisky and Work A Lady Equally Fond of Both in Interesting Young Vaga bond Besoit of Being to the Nary Yard with Alderman Trowbridge Minor Blatters. Thia morning a mean looking fellow oame up to the witness stand In the Police Court and asked Judge Walsh if he could speak to turn. "I suppose ao," said the Justloe. "Then I want to ask you about rent," said the fellow hesitatingly.

"Goon, then." "Well, If I rent a room can a woman keep my things?" "Havnt yon paid her?" "No." "How much do you owe ber 1" "I hired the room for $2 a week and owe her for about three weeks." "Cant you pay hor "Well yes, I can." Then why don't yon do it?" "Well, I want to know If she oanhold my trunk." "Well, she has got possession, and I should think it would be oheaper for yon to pay than to recover them legally." "But can she bold them by law 7" "I dont say whether she can or not you say you oan pay her, and haven't done so what do you suppose she'd naturally do doyouexpeot her to go without her money? If' I were in hor plaoe I think I'd hold them, too." The fellow sneakedfoff the stand and out of the court he evidently thought he could get his baggage baok without paying his landlady a few paltry dollars, whioh 07 his own admission was justly due her. Didn't Want to Lose Her Job. Mary MoDonnough waa arrested last night, for being intoxicated. Justice Walsh told the reporter that Mary used to bo one of his most regular customers, but he hadn't seen her for nine or ten months. "WeU, Mary come to see me again he said, as sho steered up to the.

bench. "Yes, your Honor," said sho, courtcaying. "Where have you been all this time "I was in Jersey, your Honor." "Iri Jersey Not looked up all this time 1" "Indeed and I waBn't, your Honor. I waa living "How did yon manage to get arrested in Brooklyn, then, Mary?" "Why, your Worship, I came over here to get some dudsbf mine, and. I met a friend, your Honor, and well, 1 was only a little drunk "Only a little drunk, eh "That's all.

I hope you're not going to send me to prison, Judge. I've got a good job for the Winter, and I don't want to lose it." "WeU, as yon haven't been to see me lately, 111 suspend sentence this time, but mind you go to work now don't meet any moro frionds." "Never fear, Judge. I'll go right to work, and many thanks to your Honor Mary tripped off, ber face wreathed in smiles. A Young; Vagabond. Dennis Dolan, a little shaver of ten years, was arrested a week ago on a charge of having attempted to rob the tiil of Henry Steamer's grocery Btore.

Hi was in the act of abstracting a $10 bill, but was caught. Mr. Steamer, who parts his hair in the middle, and plasters it on each temple in tbe shape of the letter appeared in Justice Walsh's Court this morning with Dolan's father, and told Judge Walsh he did not want to press tho charge. The father said that his son was a bad boy, but as he had been in prison for a week he hoped it would be a warning to him, and asked the Judge to be lenient in the case. young Dolan was called out, and the Judge administered sound and healthy advice, whioh had the effect of making the young urchin cry.

Mind, now," aaid the Judge, "if you come before mo again, nothing will save you I shall commit you to the House cf Befuge until 3 ou are twenty one. you can go home now." Dennis promised to be better, and went off with his father. All Through Aid. Trowbridge. Judge Walsh called out the name "John Printy," this morning, and John made his appearauoo to answer a charge of intoxication.

"How did you come to be drunk last night 1 "you see, Judge, I went down to the Navy Yard yesterday, with Alderman Trowbridge he was to get me some work there. I've been Idle a long time, Judge, and I wanted to get something to do, your Honor." "Well, but Alderman Trowbridge didn't get you drunk in the Navy Yard, did he 1 "Oh, no, Judge, it was after I oame out and had left him. I felt a little good, don't you see, at the prospect of work, and I took a little too much. I hope you'll let me go Judge. I expect my name will be called this morning." "yes, I'll lot yon go" "Oh, thank you, Judge, thank" "To Baymond Btreet Jail for ten dayB." Honorably Discharged.

The Sunday the order went forth from Police Headquarters to arrest violators of the Excise Law, Officer FitzsimmonB, burning to distinguish himBelf, entered the hall door of Mr. George 8. Bedell's liquor store, corner of Court and Warren streets, and broke open the door of the reading room. When accosted by Mr. Bedell, the offlocr struck him with bis club, and when asked by a Mr.

Payne, a tenant, to not kill the man, the enraged officer arrested Payne. This morning Justice Delmar examined Payne, and on hearing the circumstances connected with the arrest, he honorably discharged Payne. Mr. Payne and Mr. Bedell, In their kindness, do not intend to prosecute the officer.

PUGILISTIC PLASTERERS. This afternoon Edward Gallagher, one of the leading men of the Plasterer's Lodge, of this city, was arrested on a warrant issued by Justioe Walsh, on complaint of Mr. Pezaleel Welsh, who ohargeB him, to company with other plasterers, with having committed a brutal assault on him (Welsh) on Thanksgivtag Day. Mr. Welsh states that on the afternoon of Thanksgiving Day, he and a man named James MaxweU were at work plastering in Losier'snew building in TUlary street, near Pulton.

They were at work upon a platform, when they were both thrown down by a number of unemployed plasterers who had forced their way into the room, and had pulled the scaffold from under them, both men falling a distanoe of eight feet. Mr. Welsh was prevented from rising off the floor by tne blows and kicks which were freely bestowed upon him. He was injured ao badly that he has been loid up for nearly a week, and lias not been able to work ainoe. HiB head, arms and body were covered with bruises from the blows he had reeeived, while both his eyes aro badly dlBoolored and his cheeks cut and nroBen.

seems that the Society men had left tho Job, and this la the way they treated MaxweU and Welsh for working, Gallagher says that he does not know anything of the assault, and that he had no hand in it whatever. Mr. Welsh however is positive he is one of the men, and olaima to have witnesses who will identify two other society men who were in the assaulting party, one of them, Ban, fcaooked the doorman down and gained an entrance to the building, and another, Byau, dosed the door, bo as to darken the room where the assault was committed. Gallagher gave ball in the sum of to appear. He says that on trial he oan prove hit innocence, and asks for a suspension of opinion on the part of the public until he is tried.

Jilted by his Girl and Thraaked toy Two Dutchmen. He Gets Gloriously Drank, Bays a Hone Pistol, Seeks bis Blral, Succeeds In Shooting Himself, and Is. Car rled Home on a Shatter. In' MoKibbin street is located a German boarding house and butcher chop, kept by 8. Thlma, who furnishes lodgings and the staff of life to about half a score of healthy unmarried Teutons, Among the rest was one Christian Skidd, a young man who worked for Mr.

Thlma and manipulated steaks, roasting pieces and the like for the customers of his employer. An important member of the household was a servant named Gretchen, who, if not exceeding fair to look upon, was a willing and vigorous maid of all work, not wholly devoid of charms. To her more than one of the boarders had taken "a shine," or, in other words, was "sweet" on, and they were encouraged in their Utile attentions by a seeming willingness on the part of tne flokle Gretchen to quietly accept the adoration bestowed. Skidd having the best opportunity to advance himself in ihe favor of the girl presumed ho bad the best right to her affectionate glances probably, and could not well submit to any claims put forward by others of the boarders, one of whom especially was ABDENT in his advances. Such a state of uncertainty would never' do for the peace of mind of Skidd, and he so intimated to the comely Gretchen only to find himself laughed at.

Querulous at this unexpected aspect of affairs, Skidd, after priming himself "Elmmel," and spiced rum during yesterday, resolved to have a definite understanding of relations with Gretchen, and found opportunity during the afternoon to have a talk with her en the subject. He began entirely wrong by questioning her fidelity in this wise Why for, if you likes me bettor as dot Oder feller, you lets him makes fool by you To this Gretchen responded firmly and pointedly, by saying, Chris, you'se so big a fool wot I never did see. What for you talk bo rait me 1" This waa too much for poor Chris, and in a despairing mood off he went, WEARING VENGEANCE upon tho mean wretch who had stepped between him and Gretchen. To this end he first got gloriously drunk, and upon his return, in the absence of his rival, who had not quit work, picked a row with two of the bcarders, the suit of whioh was a sound thrashing and a highly colored "blue eye." His next, move was to arm himself with a pistol, after procuring which Chris went to the cellar to await the arrival of hiB enemy, by whom he imagined his earthly happinesB had been destroyed. Evidently this was one of Chris's unlucky days without any mistake.

After being rebuffed by his sweetheart, aud getting thrashed, with the addition of. having an eye put in mourning, he found bis own pistol turned against him by prematurely going off and sending a bullet through his ieft hand. Hearing the noise of the discharge Mrs. Thlma and others in the houso went into the oellar to find Chris rolling about and soreeohing out at the top of his voice, "Oh Mein Cott in Himmel I'm kilt and gone died." A brief investigation revealed the true state of affairs, also that Chris had a wounded hand only, and this discovery sufficed to stop the racket he had been making. As.

officer, who arrived at this Juncture, when apprised of the intention held by Chris toward his fellow boarder, took the UNFOKTUNATE LOTEE to the Station House on a shutter, and to day produced the man before Justice Barnes. The man against whom the prisoner's wrath had been directed did not consider it worth his while to appear against Chris, now fully repentant, and there being no complaint against the foolish fellow, tho JuBtice let him off under a suspension of sentence, in consideration that Chris promised to do better in future. COUNTY COURT. Suit for Wages Liability of an Assignee. A case was tried yesterday in the County Court, before Judge Moore, whioh shows the responsibility of assignees to third partieB.

In July or August, 1872, Thomas McGuire rented the building, 68 Fifth avenue, from Michael Kirwan, the owner, at $60 a month, aud started a grooery atore there. At the end of a year he was unable to pay any of the rent, and was deeply in debt to several wholesale grocers In New York. At the request of his brother, Bev. John McGuire, Mr. Kirwan took an assignment on the Oth of June last, of all the goods and ohattels in the store and handed tbe keys to Patrick McGuire, another brother, who had been in the country but a short time.

Patrick ran tho store for seven weeks, but with no better success than his brother Thomas. At tho end of that time, Mr. Kirwan put Thomas McGuire back again in possession of the store, but Patrick at first refused to give up the keys. Ho wbb finally induced to do so, however. Patrick then sued Mr.

Kirwan for seven weeks' wages as olerk of the Btore, at $12 a week. The case was first tried in Justice Morse's Court, and here he got a judgment for $09.60. Mr. Kirwan refused to pay, saying that he was already out of pocket some $000, which he paid to Thomas Mo Guire's creditors. He retained Mr.

Ready and appealed the case to the County Court, where it was tried yesterday, before Judge Moore, and a jury. Patrick Mcguire testified that Mr. Kirwan employed him by giving him the keys and telling him to pay over the proceeds of the sale daily to the Bev. John Mc Gruire, whioh he did. Mr.

Kirwan denied that he employed Patrick McGuire at all, or that he ever received any of the proceeds of the Btore from him, but admitted that be received it from the Bev. John McGuire, all but Borne $43. Ho claimed that the aBBignmentwaB a matter of accommodation, that he never owned the Btore, in fact, and tbat Patrick McGuire waB there to take care of his brother's, Thomas McGuire's, interest. Tho' money he received from the Bev. John McGuire he said he used to supply goods for me store while Patrick was in possession.

Mr. Kirwan also offered to Bhow that he had paid $1,100 lo Thomas McGuire's creditors, but Judge Moore charged the jury that the only questions in the case re as to whether Kirwan had employed Patrick Mo Quire, and if so, whether Patrick had paid over all the proceeds of tho store to the Bev. John McGuire. If the Jury toundin tho affirmative, the. plaintiff was entitled to recover.

The Jury did so find, and rendered a verdict for Patrick McGuire for deducting whioh he admit ted he received. For plaintiff, Clement Crooke for defendant, P. Keady. TIIE VILLE DU HAVRE QUESTION. The office of the Agent, in this city, of the Frtnch SteamEblp line, is to day almoBt entirly deserted by those interested in the fate of the unhappy steamship and the BurvWora from the wreck.

The agent states that he dees not expect any further information by cable at present, all that is likely to be known about the accident on the other side having al ready been communicated to the agency of the lino in thia city. If any passengers have been rescued by passing vessele or boats after the departure of tho Loch Earn from the scene of the disaster, considerable time may elapse before they may be heard from yet. Dealers and venders of any conceivable shape of patent life preservers are making capital of the dreadful accident which has befallen the steamer, and are besieging the office with their life protecting goods, of whioh Mr. McKenzie, the aftent of the Une, says enough have been thrust upon his attention since the reception of the news of the wrecking of the TiUe du Havre, to cover a graveyard of the largest size. IKGERSOLL AMD FARBINGTOW.

Departure of the Pair for Sing Sing. Incersoll and Harrington, the oonvioted Bing thieves, were taken from the Tombs to day to bo token to the States Prison, at Sing Sing. Before the prisoners were taken from their confinement they were visited by each of their fathers and several friends who bid them farewell. At a quarter past twelve o'clock, the large gate on the Franklin street side was thrown open snd the two convicts issued forth in charge of Deputy Sheriff Shields, and passing quickly around the corner into Elm street, they stepped Into a carriage and were driven rapidly away, almost before the huge gate from which they had come forth had closed. The removal waa made with suoh secreoy that but few had gathered to witness the departure.

SHABKET'B ESCAPE.

Fleet. Terrible Accident in Passaic City A House Blown Down and a Number of Work niou Buried In the Ruins Several Bodies Taken Oat Dead. Washington, Deoember 4. It has been decided to deliver the Virginius to the representatives of the United States in the harbor of Havana. The American fleet will concentrate at Key West as early as possible, and on receiving; Instructions from Secretary Robeson will proceed to Havana and there formally receive the Virginias.

The details of the ceremonies to be observed on the occasion have been agreed to, but not yet made public. In case the Havanese refuse to give np the vessel it will be the duty of Congress to pass an act authorising tho President to direct the commander of our naval fleet at Havana to take her by force. The 8panish Government object to deliver the Virginius at an American port, fearing that an order to that effect would exasperate the Spaniards in Cuba and perhaps cause them to commtt acts whioh would render war inevitable. It is thought that tho appaaranoe of a strong fleet of American war vessels at Havana would have the offect of overawing tho volunteers and cause them to quietly submit to the surrender of the Virginius.

The snow fall in the interior of the State is unprecedented since 1861, and two inches of snow have fallen in Yallejo, Modeste and Petaluma, three Inches inSui sum, two inches In Stockton, Sacramento City and Woodland. All the valley cities and townB, the Mission Hills and the San Bruno Mountains, near this place, are white with snow. It haB rained steadily in San Fran cUco, while snow fell in the adjacent country, Ihe snow will have a disastrous effect upon the vast herds of cattle on the foot hills, aHd there is some apprehension of floods in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys, similar to those of 1861 2.

Hale, of Maine, offered the following resolution Iteeolved, That a seleot committee of seven be appointed to take into consideration the subject of the repeal of the salary bill so called, and that said committee be instructed to report at the earliest practicable day, and ahat all bills on the subject be referred to said committee. Mr. Wcod, of Now York, remarked that the gentleman from Maine had already proposed to bring up this question with the morning hour, and he hoped that the gentleman did not Intend to delay the repeal of the salary b(U by referring it to auy Committee whatever. (Loud laughter. Mr.

Hale replied that the object of the resolution was certainly not to delay the matter. Mr. Cox. of New York, aaid he had tho form of a bill which was very sweeping in its character, and whioh he wished to have reported by the committee. Mr.

Randall, of Pennyelvanla, remarked that the genUeman from New York (Mr. Cox), did not have his back pay swept Into the treasury until a very late day. Mr. Cox replied that was not so. Mr.

Hale's resolution was adopted, and the Speaker remarked that he would consider the resolution as permitting the introduction and reference; now of all bins on' tho subject. Under! that resolution a large number of bill on the subject were introduced and referred. One by Mr. Morey, of Louisiana, and one by Mr. Field, of Mississippi proposed to abolish the pay and allowances to members, and one by Mr.

Beck, of Eentuoky, proposed to prohibit all allowances for the expense of the President's household in consideration or the increased salary of the President. Mr. Cox, ofNew York, asked unauimouaconsent that the Special Committee just authorized have leave to report at any time. HR Mr. Negley, of Pennsylvania, at first objected, but immediately withdrew the objection, remarking that his object was that there Bhould be no indecent basse in preparing this question on the part of the House.

Mr. Hale, of Maine, remarked that his object in having the matter go to a special committee was that there Bhould be no indecent haste in the matter. Mr. Cox said be had no idea that the gentleman from Maine or others proposed to postpone action on thie subject. Ha supposed that both sides of the House would join in the desire to to get rid of the subject.

Mr. Negley, of Pennsylvania, remarked that tbe gentleman (Mr. Cox) had taken all Summer to make np his mind on the subject, and tho Houbo Bhould certainly have some time. Mr. Cox That is not true.

(Uproar and excitement). Mr. Negley What does the gentleman Bay 1 Mr. Cox I can convince the gentleman from Pennsylvania The Speaker called upon the Members to come to order. Mr.

Negley The genUeman from New York makes a curt reply to me, and says that my statement is untrue, and now he says he desires to convince me. If he addresses me in the language of a gentleman I will be very readily convinced if made a mistake. Mr. Cox The genUeman said I took aU Summer to to put the money back in tbe Treasury. Mr.

Negley I judged so from tho roporta of the newspapers, which I believe are always correct on this subject. Laughter. Mr. Oox The genUeman Bhould have gone to the Treasury record. After some further sparring between Messrs.

Oox and Negley, the speaker said be wished tho House to understand the attitude in whioh the matter was. The resolution merely gave the Select Committee the right to report at tho earliest practicable day that meant under the rules. This being a Select Committee, would necessarily go to tho foot of the committees, and would be the last to be called in the regular courtei It could not be reached until all the Standing Committees with their multipled and various business had reported. He had no doubt that a very large majority of members desired some action in this matter. But if he should announce the Standing Committees he womld thereby nut himself in league with the one or two gentlemen who objected to giving this Special Committee the right to report at any time.

These gentleman, however, could not postpone action, because the Chair would feel it to be Its duty not to obstruct the report of this Committee by appointing the Standing Committee. He would thus have this Special Committee the only one to be called. He therefore again submitted the question. Whether there was any objeoUon to giving this Special Committee the right to report at any time. No objeouen was made, and the speaker announced that the S.Iect Committee would have the right to report at any tune.

A very touching indication of hard tunes was witnessed last night in the crouobing figure ef a young girl at the corner ot Fourth and South Fifth streets, in front of whom was a placard, made visible by the light of a bit of candle, upon which was written an appeal for aid in the support of a widow and her child ren. The girl declined to give name or address, probably under a mistaken idea of degradation, AM ARGUMENT FOB FERRY REFORM.

To the strains produced by the regimental band, under the leadership of Schneider, danclngi continued until a seasoBahle hour. The Drum Major, in his gayest at tire and looking every inch a soldier, direoted the arrangements of the floor, assisted by nine members of his corps.

Superintendent Folk was the only witness examined, counsel for defense; thinking it un necessary to offer any evidence.

The oase was given to the jury and after nearly two hours of deliberation, they brought in a verdict of acquittal on the ground that to all intents and purposes, the defendant's place waecIosed for business at the time the arrest was made. The Superintendent and the Police Board eounsel again expressed their disgust, the former remarking, "we might as well stop making arrests for this offense we can't get a conviction any how," to whioh Mr. Oakey fully agreed. Other excise cases will come before Justice Biley this week. DRAMATIC.

"Uncle Tom." at tbe Academy. Onoe a year Mrs. O. Howard oomes to the Academy of Musio to play Topty in "Uncle Tom's Oabtu." Ever year stnoe the Academy was built she has done this and every year she has drawn large audiences. There is hardly a man, woman or child in this goodly city who has not witnessed her performance of the half savage negro girl Topsy, but still they go.

Last night she again vlBited the Academy and again a large audience, smaller by reason of the unpleasant weather, than it otherwise would have been, was present. Tbe support was not np to the reqnlred standard, but as the interest centres upon Mrs. Howard, this was passed over, like Jefferson's Sip, Owen's Shintrle, Sothern's Dundrearv. and. Mantle Mitchell's Fanchon.

Mrs. How ard's Copty, from having been played so many tunes, has passed beyond criticism. The New Fifth Avenue Theatre. Daly's new Fifth Avenue Theatre was thrown open to the public last night. The verdict is that it is a very luxurious and handsome theatre.

Not withstanding the inclemency of the weather, the house was crowded to excess. The house was applauded, so was the company and the manager. Miss Fanny Mo rant and Mr. Frank Hardenbergh recited the poetical address, written for this purpose by Dr. Oliver Wendell HolmeB.

By its composition the Doctor has not in creased his reputation in fact, he has only shown that sometimes very clever men can write very bad poetry. The play produced was entitled "Fortune," and was written by James Alberry, the author of the "Two BOses." It was a decided failure. How Mr. Daly, who has the reputation of a literary man, deserved er not, was induced to accept this play, is a matter of wonder. It is dull, stupid, incoherent in fact, it haB every vice which can be attributed to a play.

It will probably be withdrawn. Philharmonic Concert. The third rehearsal will take place at the Academy of Musio, on Wednesday afternoon, December 17, upon whioh occasion Torrianl, of the Strahosch Opera Troupe, will appear. The concert is to take. plaoe on Saturday evening the 20th Inst.

North Reforned Church Concert. This evening the concert at the North Beformed Church, under the lead of Mr. Juan Alzamora, will take place.

Mr. John M. Loretz, organist; Miss Oora J. Biiloy, harpist Miss Josie Johnson, soprano Mr. James Fuhry, baritone, and Mr.

It is reported that Mr. Edwin Booth has cold his theatre to Mr. Olark Bell for $500,000. It is heavily mortgaged. Dominick Murray has gone into the sensation drama ad libitum.

"Shoddy Society" is the name of his new drama. Mr. John P. Raymond has taken the management of the New Orleans Theatre. GRAND LIGUE MISSION.

THE STATE DEFALCATION. John B. Sherwin.the broker of New York through whom Phelps, the defaulting cashier of the State Treasury, sold tbe draffs of the securities which should have gone into the Treasury, applied to day before Justice Brady for his release from arrest.

Hta affidavits are all to tho effect that so far as he Is concerned the transaction is entirely Innocent that ha acted merely as broker, substantially ignorant of the source of the securities and wholly ignorant of any fraud in the transaction, and that there was no foundation whatever for any suspicion that he Intended to leave the country, since after he knew of the ohargeB he had quietly waited to be arrested. On the other hand it was contended that the eharao ter of the securities and all the clroumslanceB must have given Sherwln information of the frrudnlent oharaoter of the transaction, and that beside he was bound to know that the transactions were illegal. The Court took the papers and reserved its decision. CHALLENGE FROM THE CORONERS. The Coroners stated to an Eagle reporter this afternoon that ex Beglstrar Daniel Downey had received an answer in his suit against the Trihune.

In the answer the Tribune states that It intends to prove that the Coroners have held inquests in bogus smallpox cases, and dividing the receipts paid therefor with Daniel Downey. Coroners Jones and WhltehiU state emphatically that these oharges are false. They hare never held a bogus inquisition since they entered upon their official duties. All their inquisitions, they say, are on file in the office of the County Clerk, from the time they assumed their official positions, and the corresponding certificates of death are to be found In the office of the Board ot Health. Also, from the Board ot Health permits for burial have been granted, and on each permit it shows in what cemetery the body has been interred, and gives the name of the undertaker.

Beside this, the registry at the cemetery wttl Bhow when the bodies were received. The Coroners challenge any committee, either offloial or private, to find anything Irregular whatever in their office, and this afternoon they addressed a letter to the Board of Supervisors stating the above facts, and requesting that a committee be appointed immediately to examine into their offloial affairs. REPUBLICAN APOSTACY. The fifth Ward Bepublican Association held its regular monthly meeting last evening at No. 151 High street.

Hoffman examined the papirB; Baid it was his buslneBB; we conversed for two hours, and he refused, because there was a judgmcut and because he thought there was false swearing Bomewfiero and third he would not grant one till indictment was had; 1 came baok and told Mr. Britton, who said be thought the requisition would be refused I then insisted on Baisbeekvi being indicted but he thought they should all be indicted he Bold he would act on his own judgment I was mad we both ewore a great deal I thought he was wrong Cook, Gardner and Bertrand told me it was a put up job on the part of Gvrdner he, Britton, then requested the names of the witnesses, and he would issue the eubpenas which he did, and first I knew Gardner and Bertrand were in jail the subpenaB 1 Berved personally I did not serve Charles Gardner, all the lest did these were all served for examination before the Grand Jury after the arrest of Gardner and the rest went bock to eee Mr. Britton, and thinking he was doing wrong we tad Borne high wordB again; I subsequently made affidavit at Judge Davis's house since then I saw Cook who told me he had sworn to a lie in his affidavit and that Bertrand had received $14,000 I told Mr. Morris they were all liars and that I had been wholly misled; Bertrand I found the gxeateBt liar since AnaniaB I told all this to Mr. Morris Mr.

Geo. W. Gardner is now in Jail for another perjury against Cook Bertrand waa putting the whole Job up Baisbeck paid, and I have every reason to believe he did pay it Barnard had the money, aud put the job up to blind Gardner and the rest Mr. Britton should have disabuBed me of my error about these men, for he knew the truth he said he would have them all indicted for conBpiraoy, and that the evidence would uphold him he said of Baisbeck, I don't know where Bertrand la I don't know where he is, and I don't think you will find that touth! I can't tell Mr. Britton's language exactly; I don't think he used the word insists he said he believed Ceok was a liar, and I believe so too I would not ask an indictment against Baisbeck, now, knowing what I now know; this Mr.

Britton knew; he should have removed the error from my mind have met Baisbeck in Broadway, and in Morristown he lives in Hoboken; don't know how long he has resided there I I met him in the dsy time Cook lives in Morristown sawhim twice in bIx months hrjjsil both times; Bertrand and Gardner pul him in Jail, and now Gardner is in the same cell Cook was I thought the Attorney was net couiteous; he did not seem aaatous at the time one way or another if I had known as muoh as 1 know now I should hover have made any snoh application the affidavits are in my handwriting lam not doing business now for Baisbeck Bertrand was arrested ters I don't know if then there were any proceedings at the time in the Cot ri. Cross examined Mr. Britton Baid I would not get tho requisition in Albany, because there was no indiot ment; I made affidavit at Davis's, saw it not after the charges were published; I was familiar with these people for Borne time after as a matter of fact, Mr. Britton waB correct in what ho said: I wbb misled by perjurers he was not I meaD by Bertrand Cook and Gardner their motive in prosecuting Baisbeck was to convince tiie other Gardners that the money they had themselves pocketed was in t'. at of Mr.

Baisbeck; it was a conspiracy; Cook himself told me that wbb his object in swearing agaimit Baisbeck; Cook was a liar. Trac Precisely, and that is why Mr. Britton would not believe him and did not indict Mr. Baisbeck, as you claim that he ought to have done; I did not write the affidavit I made at your office; there were two or three of you at work on it; I know I never wrote it; I was loth to make any affidavit; I told yon 1 was suspicious of these parties, and then believed that Bale beck was the beBlta of the lot.
