This example we commend to Tammany Hall, the leader of which pretends to be solicitous for harmony. The way to harmony is open. It lies in acting in the spirit which has guided and will guide Democrats here in dealing with all Democrats who choose to exercise the right to differ from them. There will be no harmony, however, until Tammany Hall either ohangos its tone and traitorous habits or is expelled from the councils of the party.

In and around Oable'p Hotel yesterday a very large crowd numbering many thousands was collected, and It was certainly not until long after noon that a storm was anticipated. When the sun set and the Indications were that a storm was about to arise there was a great rnah for Paul Bauer's Hotel and also for other places of shelter in that immediate vicinity. Away off toward the south the lights of the Highlands could for a Bhort time be distinguished.

Speoial Correspondence of the Eagle. Conns Island, July 16. Deab Eaole When from ten to fifty thousand of the peoplo of New York and Brooklyn assemble every day and evening to enjoy tho music of Gilmoro'sBond, a brlof notico of its distinguished leader would seem to be in order. Patrick Sarsfleld Gilmoro was bom near tho City of Dublin, on Christmas day, 1829. His parents called their son after one of the most illustrious patriots and generals of the last century.

Patrick Sarsfiold, Lord Lucan, who, after St. Ituth'a death, commanded tho troops who stood loyal to King James, upon tha capitulation of Limerick, wont to France, and entered tho military Borvice ot that country, In which he fell at Loudun. It was after this illustrious man that P. S. Gilmoro was named.

His early yoars wero spout near tho City of Athlono, on the Shannon, so intimately conneoted with Sarsfiold's fame, and which was called the "Key of Ireland." Had tho chief charge of that key been intrusted to Sarsfiold wo should havo had no Guelph dynasty in England, and uo George to enslave tha American colonies. Liko most men who achieved greatness in their profession, young Gilmoro showed an early love for his. sruslo and musics! instruments wore his dolighr, and his lcisuro hours were dedicated to fifes and drumB. Ho npent soveral yoars in tho wholesale grocery business, in Athlono, but found time to dovote to the acquisition of musical knowledge. He was an oager Iisteuor to tho concerts of the bands attachod to the British regiments stationed at that important stronghold, the bandmasters taking delight in aiding tho young musioian in his education.

He bocamo a mombor of the band of Athlono, playing on various reed and brass Instruments. Tho merchant under whom ho scrvod found his musical talent better dovolopod than his mercantile, and employed him in tho musical educatlou of his children. Uo becamo a Btudeut of tho celebrated bandmaster and oomposcr, Keating, who taught him tho cornet aud other instruments. Keating advised him to make music his profession, aud prophesied his future eminence and young Gilmoro took his adviea and fulfilled his prophecy. Keating also suggostod the United Statos as tho fiold for bis achievements.

Tt required little persuasion to iu duco him to adopt tho suggestion, and thcroforo wo find young Gilmoro, at tho age of 19, in tho City of Boston. Hero tho music stores wero his principal attraction. In ouo of these he had exhibited such desirable kuowlodgo of tho instrumouts that ho was employed as salosmau, and gavo his employers amplo satisfaction. At tho ago of sixteen ho had shown ability as a com poser, and af tor a short time spout in Boston, the pooplo of that city bogan to approclute his nbilitioe. After a short connection with a band, in Cimrlestown, ho attachod himself to the Suffolk band, of Boston, of which he beeamo the leader, eucccoding tho groat bugler Edward Kendall, and brought It to tho greatest state of perfection.

The deaths aucccsslvely of John Bartlott and Jerome Smith, made oponings for Gilmoro's accession to tho leadership of the Brigade band and the band. In thoBe days he was aoknowlodgod as the first fiat cornet ployor of tho country. His dovotlon to bis profession impaired his health, but his naturally elastic constitution triumphed. He remained In Salem threo years, and while thero he suggested tho monstor Fourth of July concerts on Boston Common and the promonae'e concerts in Music Hall, whoro different bands played alternately. In 18S8 ho returned to Bos ton and set about the organization of tho band which so honorably bore an honored name, celebrated abroad and honored at homo.

At the outbreak of tho war tho band went into the service of tha country attached to the Twenty fourth Massachusetts Volunteers and went with Burnslde's expedition to North Carolina, Blchollou woll remembers what enthusiasm this band evoked as its military muslo shook the granite walls of the old Astor House in which it was quartored on its way to tho front. After a year's servioe Gllmore returned to Boston, his band being mustered out and gavo coaoorts and renderod officlont service in tho organization of about twenty bands to be attached to brigades undor orders from the War Department. Governor Andrew, tho great war Govornor of Massachusetts, commissioned him as Bandmaster General and Chief Musician of the State, with authority to enlist musicians for tho sorvice. He recruited a number of bands for the Department of tho Gulf, undor General Banks, and at the request of tho Stats authorities went in charge ot tho bands thus raised to Now Orleans. Here General Banks made him dlreotor of the various musical organizations of that department.

He entered upon the discharge of the duty thus devolved upon him, and inaugurated a series of brilliant free concerts to tho people of New Orleans. Here also on the inauguration of tho Governor of reconstructed Louisiana, ho planned another monster concert, and for his services in the Crescent City he was presented by its citizens with a magnificent goblet filled with gold coins, and a publio dinner was given him. On his return to Boston he received a grand oration, and soon afterward ho got up a series of concerts, introducing among other artists, Lagrange, Gazzanaga, Carlotta Pattl, Camilla Utbo, Brignoll and Carl Formes. In 1868 he accepted an invitation to Chicago, to manage the great boil and concert given at Crosby's Opera Houbs. The Grand National Peace Jubilee at Boston, which he planned and carried out so successfully, made hlin famous throughout all lands where muslo is known.

On moving to New York six or seven years ago, his band became attached to the Twenty second Regiment, New York National Guard. In its earlier history tha band were employed npon many memorable occasions, such as the last National Democratic Convention at Charleston, where It was about the only thing of harmony or concord at the nomination of Abraham Lincoln at Chicago at the reception of the Grand Duke Aloiis; at the nomination of George B. McClellan at Chicago, and other great events. Intermediate to all thee were numerous grand concerts, successfully given. The band was at the taking of Boanoke Island aud tho Battle of Newborn.

The great concert in New Orleans, to which I have already referred, was grand in every respect 'It was given on the fourth of March, 1861. He organized a chorus of four thousand Juvonlle voices, solocted from tho public sohbols, with a combination of all the bands and musicians In tho department. "The Star Spangled Banner" was to be the grand feature of the programme, and it was not a favorite air South just at that time. The wish was rather that it Bhould not ware in triumph over either tho land of the free or of the slave. Mr.

GUmore succeeded in firing the young Southern heart for the old flag, and for this purpose, for weeks, he Visited from school to school. The day came. It waa a day of Spring sunshine, Tho concert waa given In tafayetto Square, where an Immense amphitheatre had been erected. Upon this ten thousand children assembled to sing the song of tho Union. Five hundred musicians, with several drum and trumpet choirs occupied a platform at the base, and fifty pieces of artillery, to be fired by electricity, marking the tune in the national airs and articulating its muSlo, were placed in, position to play thoir parts.

There were thirty thousand spectators. It waa a day of enthusiasm, and ten thousand children's voices proclaimed, in advance of the subsidence of the rebellion, Out "The Btar spangled banner in triumph shall wave," The Governor of the State gave Mr. Gilmore letters to President Linobln, in which ho states that tht grandeur and magnificence of the concert hadnover been equalled In this country, The great National Peace Jubilee took, place In Boston, JunoW, 16, 17, 18 and 19, 1869 to this the New Orleans affair was literally child's play now it waa to be a chorus of tea thousand duH voices, with an aCHJcropanlment of thousand instruments to produce the "Hallelujah" and other choruses by Handel, Mendelssohn, Mozart and Haydn. Hundrods of thousands of dollars were expended. A.

large oolWum, capable of holding fifty thousand people, waa erected. Boston was sonorous with scientific sound Oyer one hundred and fifty soctotlea, organized for the occasion, in different parts' of the country, took part in theper fprmahce; and reinrnlng 'toJ their homes after the Jubilee, filled tho land with muslo and song, and overflowed tho whole country ia a wave of harmony sod concord. But this Alexander of muslo was not oontonted with conquests over individual people. He wanted to wave hismaglo baton over a world of harmony and leave nothing on earth to conquer, and so ha planned tho World's Peace Jubilee and International Musical Festl. tsJ.

To carry oat this idea he had to obtain tho co operation of.the President of tho United Btatee, the Queen of England, the Emperor or Gormany, and the Government of France. That the grocer boy of Athlono could accomplish all this was a wonder and a miracle, yot he had courage to attempt and the genius to accomplish It. He had restored to youth of the South a lovafor the songs of the Union. He had harmonized the whole Union hi a song of conoillation and poaoo, tho nations of the earth are to sing together for joy, not only for peace restored to our Union, but for harmony restored to tha by the treaty of Washington.

P. Johnston, of tho oollego of tho City of Now York, Tho statements mado proved the engagement to havo Ixjen ono of tho most Important intho romoto results fought during tho Itevolutlon. Tho hoat provonted tho carrying out of the programmo it was stated. A petition signed by a thousand rosideuts of Newark, praying that the number of drinking places bo curtailed by refusing licenses to keepers of groceries and othor places, was presented to the Commissioners of Excise at thoir publio meeting yesterday. A memorial was also presented, signed by a numbor of German ministers, directing tho attention of tho Commissioners to the fact that thore exist in that city disorderly houses, which are not beer saloons, and which should rocelvo tho attontlon of tho Board before tho lessor evils of Sunday soiling.

Tbs mooting of tho Board was for tho purposo of having tho residents show cause why certain licenses which had been objeoted to should not bo granted. Counsel for tbo liquor dealers cautloucd the Board that It could not constitute itsolf a judicial tribunal. It waa not Immoral to Boll on Sunday, the clergy of the city to the contrary notwithstanding, and unless It was, no punishment could be inflicted by any conrt. Th people present wore very demonstrative, and were evenly divided for and against the granting of licenses. Christian Zabriskie, of Hackensaok, the wealthy descendant of a Polish nobleman, was killed yeatorday morning by a New Haven express train at the Morrisania station of the Harlem Railroad.

He waa 73 years of ago, and lived on the (state to Hackensack which has been in his family for more than 300 years. He had been in Morrisania on a visit, and was at the depot with his niece, the Countess do Montsaullnn, of Paris the Count, hor husband, and his oister, rs. Greene, of No. 1 East Fiftieth atrcot, New York. was holding an umbrella over him to a way that obstructed his view of the track, and as be stepped upon the plank crossing, the express train wasjflylng past th door, only a hundred feet distant.

Before he eould have taksn four steps the locomotive waa upon him. The engineer saw him and applied ths brakes, after giving a shrill warning, but it waa too late. Mr. Zabriskie probably had one foot off th track, for ho waa struck by the left side of the onglne and hurled a bun. dred feet forward, striking on tho other side of the up traok, with his head near tho rails.

The remains were brought to New York, to tho residence of Andrew Zabriskio, of No. 12 East Thirtieth street. The papers read yesterday before the Philological Association to session at Newport, B. wsro by Professor Humphrey, of Yanderbilt University, on "Th Nature of tho Caesura;" Dr. Lolghton.

At the after, noon session an able and argumentative paper, which was listened to with great interest, waa by Professor T. P. Seymour on "The Date of the Prometheus of Escby lus." Professor Marsh, of Lafayette College, read a paper on "The English Dictionary of the Philological Association, This speaker stated that th English philological Society proposes to publish a great historical dictionary of the English language, and for this purpose It had enlisted the service of many reader to England ana few In America. Th plan ia to make the dictionary cover th whole range of English literature. Professor Marsh urged the society hot to allow this Thesaurus, which will be th standard English dictionary for a generation to oome, to remain incomplete to tha Important department of American literature.

To the members of th society who were willing to undertak the reading of the American literary works, with a view to making excerpts and quotations for the dictionary, printed slips would be given. The society has made a bargain with the managers of tha Clarendon press of Oxford, and hope to bring out the work to ten years from 1880. At the evening evasion seraral able paper were read. In the trial of Chan tine Cox, for the murder of Br. HulL yasterday, in Now York, Samuel N.

It is to be hoped tnat justice Lawtene has a secure lockup for these fellows.

we doubt whether the walls of an ordinary county toil can restrain so much cenitlB. It would bo a rural calamity for these gentlemen to escape. for people must have some kind of furniture and domestic surroundings in order to live in the country. A Groundless Fear. A case of suspended animation occurred yes tfiWIftv in the Eastern District, and will no doubt be eagerly seized upon by the sentimen tal and uninformed to revive a very groundless fear at baincr buried alive.

The patient in this case had long been a sufferer from an affection of the heart. At dinner time on Tuesday he ate heartily, complained of being sick and then fell forward, apparently lifeless. Respiration and pulsation ceased, so far as the inexpert members of the family could determine, and the family physician was sent for. He happened to be out, however, and an undertaker was brought in. After an hour's absence this functionary returned with ioe and other requisites.

On moving the body, however, it was slightly jarred. The patient sneezed, gasped, and in a few moments sat up. The undertaker was dismissed. We have no doubt that many of our weak nerved read ers, such as incline to spiritualism and other symptoms of mental inanition, will regard tho Eastern District man's escape from burial alive as very narrow, whereas in point of fact the ohance of being buried ahve is so small that the fraction which would express it can hardily be appreciated. Life can always be detocted by a competent physician, and the doctor who cannot tell when death has actually taken place must be grossly ignorant.

That people have been interred alive is unquestioned, but in every case we have no doubt that it eould bo shown that the services of a physician had not been called in. Much of the opposition to the cremation of corpses is undoubtedly due to a lingering dread of being burned to doath, and of recovering consciousness in the furnace a fear which the reader can banish as utterly groundless. A considerable amount of baseless gossip, in connection with Mr. Worth's nomination for Commissioner of City Works by Mayor Howell, is embodied in the paragraph which follows, and which we cut from a New York contemporary Tho nomination was sent in strongly against tho wishes of Mr. Thomas Kinsella, who was contending with Mayor Howell to havo the nomination of Worth made the price of enough Democratic votes to confirm Mr, Froderiok S.

Massoy as President of th Board of City Works. Mr. Massey is popular with the olub men, but the Republican Aldermon charge upon him tho conviction of the recent City Works Commissioners, and re use to vote for his confirmation. Mr. Kinsolla left tho City Hall in disgust, just boforo the Mayor sent In Mr.

Worth's nomination, and the Mayor sont the name in, as the leaders ot tho McLaughlin wing wiahod, without conditions. It may perhaps prevent other misstatements, based on those above presented, to state that Mr. Kinsella nover even suggested to Mr. Howell, or to anybody else, that Mr. Worth should be nominated for City Works Commis sioner, if, iu return for it, Mr.

Massey should be confirmed as President of the City Works Board. Mr. Kinsella did not leave tho City Hall in 1 disgust" on Monday last, for he had no knowledge whatever, at tho time, of Mayor Howell's intention to nominate Mr. Worth or Mr. Anybody Else, either alone, or in connection with Mr.

Massey or Mr. Anybody Else. Since it has beon deemed worth whilo to refer to tho views of a citizen who has no official responsibility, that citizen will be justified in stating that he was and is opposed to political dickers Miing the vacancies existing in the several Commissions, and for the reason that he sees in tho success of such dickers an almost insurmountable obstacle to the consummation of the purposo Mayor Howell himself has urged with groat earnestness, and which would result in placing each of the Commissions under a single head. If either branch of the next Legislature should be uudor the control of the Republicans, ex Assemblyman Jacob Worth would not be likely to lose his office by tho abolish ment of it, through legislative action. a Democratic politician of oqual influence with Mr.

Worth should have a chance of oierating upon a Democratic Legislature, he will not be likely to lose his place through legislative disfavor, either. A political dicker, under whioh active adherents of both parties shall be taken care of, means, under existing circumstanoes, game of "heads we win, tails you lose, in so far as the self supporting voters of Brooklyn are concerned in it. The phrase semi tropical, as applied to our cliinate, appears to be moro than usually descriptive this year. Ono of the characteristics of the tropical zone is the suddenness with which squalls arise. During the past three or four days the heat has been absolutely tropical.

Tho thermometer, even in India, does not range much higher than it did in New York yoster day, when it leaped clear out of tho nineties and registered 101 degrees in the shade. So far we had a genuine tropical temperature. The storm which succeeded it was equally characteristic of the tropics. In our neighborhood it gave timely warning of its arrival, but when it did burst it was furious. The lightning was con tinuous, and the rain fell in torrents, as it sometimes does in the West Indies, where a stream is converted in an hour into a deluge.

New York and Brooklyn escaped any very se rious consequences, but in other cities the. effect was very Boston was visited by a hurricane, which presented all the features of a tropical simoon. Houses were unroofed, and along one of the most fashionable residence thoroughfares hardly a pane of glass was left on the side aoing the storm. The lightning struck several points, and no little loss of life is reported. At Fit Mrarg, a squall worthy of.

the Mediterranean ocourred. It lasted but three and traversed a narrow path, but in the course of its visit it unroofed the City Hall, tore down a church spire and did a groat deal of damage to private houses. This is the sort of weather that has prevailed in the "West this Summer. Intense heat, lasting for two or three days, is followed by sudden and violent tempests, confined to limited districts. Destructive as theBB storms are to property, however, they will be generally welcomed, if they break the spell of heat as effectually as yesterday's tempest has done.

A railroad acoident at Morrisania, yesterday, removes the third and last son of Christian Zabriskie, one of the famous Zabriskie family of New Jersey. The victim of the accident was himself Christian 'Zabriskie, and followed the fate of his brothers, both of whom died John Jacob Zabriskie, a civil engineer, and one of tho first Croton Commissioners of New York, was drowned two years ago in his own mill pond. Martin Zabriskie died in an apoplectic fit, and Christian was sjtruck and instantly killed by a New Haven train. The family is one of the oldest in the country, even in its American antecedents, butit dates back to a most illustrious source, namely, to King John HL of Poland, if the claims of its members are to be relied, upon. At all events, it has furnished several iUustrious citizens to the republic, has amassed considerable wealth and has become as thoroughly American as any in the country.

It was not necessary, however, for the family to refer the people of New Jersey to its founder for the sake of gaining respeot. Industry, philanthropy and a strict regard for private and publio duties did. more to win respect for tho name than the rank of the historical, personage referred to. Nobody will be surprised at the discovery, that a private individual Hying, among American citizens as one of them is descended from a monarch. We have become amfliar with the fact that tlie, scions of royalty may become, good citizens of the republic The wise system of Government whioh attracted immigrants from all parts of the world to settle here, did not offer inducements to tho laboring population only.

Should the.Frehoh Imperial throne ever want an heir Colonel Jerome Bonaparte's family can furnish one. There is even a story extant that Marshal Ney was never executed but emigrated to this country, settled in one of the Southern States and reared a family there. Attorney General Schoonmaker holds that the Six per cent. Interest bill, passed by the late Legislature, does not take effect until tho beginning of next year. He also holds that tho fears expressed by some as to the impracticability of the measure are groundless.

John McGrath, of No. 417 Baltic street, fell In fit In Smith street, yesterday. Ha waa removed to hie residence In an ambulanc. present. On, the whole, if compare our condition with what is happening New York and other large cities wo will see little reason for fault finding and apprehen It is worthy of observation, that if the death rate of last week, large as it appears, ontinnerl thronehout the year, the annual rate of mortality wonld not be moro than thirty on every thousand of population.

The worse week of this Summer shows the rate is Wer thtm if, was six years ago. We can do nothini? better, while referring to this subject, than to again impress upon our readers the importance of fresh air to their ohildren and themselves, ana tne tact tnat tney nave ai hand the means of enjoying it. Coney Island offers them a refuge that they should eager ly embrace. This advice, applies more especially to those of our people who aro forced by the nature of circumstances to live in narrow quarters. The benefit is worth anv sacrifice that is necessary.

There are few mothers who realize that it is a ques tion of life and death for their little ones who would hesitate to deprive themselves of many things in order to give the children protection from sickness. To the development of tho Island is largely due the decrease of the mortality. It has not only opened an avenue to health, but has awakened a desire for fresh air that has been exceedingly beneficial and has had a marked effect in promoting tho physical welfare of our people. XIic Trial of Cliastlno Cox. Tho trial of the alleged murderer of Mrs, Hull is now fairly in progress and the people are watchine with great interest the formal development of tho facts of a case which prom ised at one time to add another to tho long list of mysterious and inexplicable murders in New York.

The jury panel was completed on Tues day and yesterday Assistant District Attorney Rollins opened tho case for the people with a very clear statement of the theory of the pros edition and examined the murdered woman's husband and several other important witnesses, In view of the fact that the jewelry taken from the murdered woman's room was traced direct ly to tho prisoner, that some of it was found on his nerson. that some of it was found in the possession of a colored girl with whom Cox was intimate, and that this latter fact was part of a full confession of the prisoner that he himself did the killing, most people are surprised that the law offioers should proceed against Cox in this formal manner, and they wonder that the prosecution do not at once avail themselves of the confession, shorten Cox's road to the gallows and save the county the expense of a long trial. But it should be remembered that there are very many large holes in the meshes of the law through which, red handed murderers have escaped through the haste of the representatives of tho people. It is, of course, not certain wuat tne aeienso win oe. It would seem that tho sharp lawyers who have Cox's case in hand, seeing the futility of any other defense, in view of tho confession aud tho indisputable facts connecting their client with the murder, will simply attempt to make him out insane.

It is well known that insane homicides often confess their deeds with every circumstance and detail. If the plea of in anity is of any value in this case, it renders tho duty of the District Attorney to place in its true relation every act of the homicide highly obligatory. The ear marks of insanity plain enough. If Cox was insane when ho committed this awful deed, the prosecution will itself develop that fact if the man's acts aro clearly set forth. The defense will have no great difficulty left.

The acts of an insane murderer aud tho acts of ono in his right mind, have distinctive qualities which cannot be mistaken if they aro clearly known and set forth, Nobody wants to hang a lunatic, however undesirable tho presence on the planet of those with homicidal tendencies may be, and nobody except a retained lawyer wants a sane murderer to escape on this too often satisfactory plea. If the plea of insanity is made and is a false ploa, this formal course of tho District Attorney will render nugatory tho attempt of the defense. But to accept tho confession without this close scrutiny of the quality of Cox's actions, and then have tho dofonso to set up the plea of insanity and put their own construction on everything tho homicide did from the taking of Mrs. Hull's life to and including the confession itsolf, would be to give the murderer, if he is a murderer, a chance for life he should not have. It should be remembered that under the old Jewish law which contained so many good things we might incorporate with propriety in tho common law no man could be convicted of crime on his confession alone.

The present case is one in which the value of such a rule is seen, and it must be admitted that Mr. Rollins is taking the best course to bring Cox to the gallows if ho deserves hanging, and to accord him exact justice if the homicide was the act of a lunatic. Bung Iinfr Criminals. The Boston polico, after many months of patient investigation, have at length plucked the heart out of the Lynn mystery, identifying the mutilated corpse of the unfortunate victim and securing a number of persons who were concerned in the murder or were aware of the particulars. This is something that the Now York police would long ago have given up, and the intricacy and tediousness of the pursuit only serve to reflect more credit upon the authorities.

As was originally believed, the murdered woman was butchered by an abortionist, and the body disposed of as it was with a view to the concealment of the crime. Among those who are now in the hands of the polico are the "doctress" who performed the operation, a male practitioner who lived in the same house with her, the head of the household in which the deceased formerly lived and two women who nursed her. The case is not unlike that of the unfortunate Alice Bowlsby, whoso mutilated remains were found in a trunk. It is to be hoped that the parallel will be preserved so far as to place the butchers in the same penal plight as the slayer of Miss Bowlsby. It is worth noticing, by the way, that tho method of concealment adopted in this case has invariably failed to baffle the authorities.

The case just cited is an instance. The body was cut to pieces by the operator and packed away in a trunk, but jeven the New York police were able to follow the obvious clues, to identify the girl and substantiate a case against the doctor. Bernhardt, who adopted the same method of disposing of his murdered wife's remains on Staten Island, was convicted and is still in jail under a stay of proceedings. A case occurred not very long ago in England, in which" the murderess out np the victim's body, wrapped the fragments in paper "and threw them into the and con. yiction followed Fuchs was equally unsuccessful in his efforts to conceal his crime by the dissecting: process.

whenever that method has been resorted to.it has been unsatisfactory to the murderer. A clue invariably remains in the trunk, or its lining or something of the kind. The greater the effort made at concealment the more certain, usually, is the discovery of the murderer. One of the disadvantages of life in the ivn paved districts is the facility afforded thieves to plunder people. When night sets in, there being no.

gas, no vigilant policeman going the rounds and no American District the safety of one's property must be intrusted to a dog, or one must take chances on the honesty of one's neighbors. Long island, for some cause or other, has been the paradise of pilferers. The columns of the Eaolb show that thero ia more plundering going on there, outside of Brooklyn, than in any other territory of its size in America. It is useless to attempt to account for it. Proximity to New York wiU not do it for other great cities have rural surroundings without a tithe of Long Island's misfortune.

Recently the Eaole published the exploits of some fellows who wew quite exceptional in the quality and extent of their operations. They cams to grief, and were before a Flushing justice yesterday. The amount and variety of property identified as stolon by these fellows was marvelous. Everything that came under, their observation that was valuablo and portable they took, and their success in getting away with their plunder rivaled the exploits of some of the great appropriators of fiction and history. They oven invaded the sacred preoinoto of churches, stole carpets, Bibles, pews, and doubtless would havo carried off bells and pulpits had the latter possessed the quality of mobilization.

THE CHILDHOOD OK THE IMPERIAL.

Napoleon III. had been mnrricd threo years when tho birth of tin. Prince Imperial took place, on the lilth of Jlorch, 1MB. Driving through tho Ilois da Vino' unea some months boforo, tho Kmpress Kugonta had made a vow that if a tion wero born to hor sha would erect a chapoi on a spot which sho designated and thero the chapel stands now, for uo vow waa over more gladly kept. One cannot uy la barkuorotf phrase that tho birth of the Emperor's holr proved a "doath blow" to tho hopes of any political party for the hopei of factions die hard, and iu 1S36 few iooplc thought that tho Second Empire would last long.

Hoorea of tha most distinguished men of I'rancc woro still la exile tlw prisons ami penal colonies wero full of political delinquents; ami li was fell that order was only maln t. iined in ths country by tho merciless system of compression which had been inaugurated ut tho coup d'ttat. However, tho ooming of an hoir did add some prestige to Napoleon, whilo It gavo blm a now and vital Interest iu preserving tha throne lie had ao strAnuely gotten. A saluto of lul guns announced ths birth of tha child to the peoplo of Purls and it was accounted an auBplcfoua circumstance that this oreut should hav oooarred Just at tho tires when the negotiations for peace after tho Crimean war wero in process of completion. Tho signature of peace and ths cbrlsUnlng of tho young prince wore arranged to coinultlo oa tho SOtb of March, and numerous measures of clomoncy and isrgosso wer mado to follow.

It was decreed that every child bora on th same day 'as the prince, should, on the applanation of hi parents, recelvo a comniemoratlv silver modal and a pouilon of 100 francs a year for eighteen years, payablo from the Civil List. Sam aoo application were sent In from poor popls, and aU th children who survived until received thoir pensions up to that date. Tho hoya woro In every caso chnsteaod Louis Napoleon and tho girls Eugenie. As to pardons, a partial ainuoaty was promulgaud but It only Included persona who chose to mak tiiefr submission to Government, and consequently few availed themselves of it. It is relatod though the saui story li told incidentally to tho birth of tho King of Kom that a newspaper editor who bad got into troublo took a petition for grace to the Tullcries, and askad leave to piac It In the Prluoo Imjwrlal's hands, lie was lod to tho oradia and pnt th documtnt Inslilo It; whereupon tho Emporor, who was preient, Inquired what tho baby aaid, and boing told "Nothing," remarked with a stulle, "Wll, than, silenc glvei consent." Thli story is woro likely to have beon truo of Napoloon than of bis nophow, for the latter had too much tact to require that supplicants for moroy should humiliate tbomnslvos In his presanco; but possibly tho episode was revived by aomo courtier who loved scenlo effect.

In any caso It is fortunate that tho baby did uot cry out when he rooelred tho petition, for the joke would have missed Ore. The little Prince had an English nurse recommended by juou Victoria and while hs waa still to swaddling clothes ussd to be held up at the nursery window for the admiration of crowda who collected In ths gardans of tho 1 utlerios to star at blm. As Boon aa ha oould toddle be was appointed a corporal to tho Imperial Guard, that tho sobriquet of Petit Caporai" nUht bo revived In his person and In August, lUJfl When tha French armies re entered Paris in procession aftr th Italian campaign, he stood at the head of th guard to do homage to his father on th Place Vandomo. It waa not till his tenth year that he was promotod to a sr geantahlp, but soon afterward waa reduced for tome ttio act of disobedience, and remained a corporal again for a who! year. The Princ Imperial waa never a wilful boy, though high spirited his his mother, and thoughtful like his fathor.

His temper was always exquisitely sweet. Children used to Invited blm to com and play with him at th palace, and never abashed them by any of ths sire of a spoiled child. When hs drove through tb stretta ot Paris In the oonipany of his playmate, Louis Connean. and attended by a strong mounted oort ef guide, there was always a winning smile on ma lace a na acknowledged toe greetings of th people; and om times, when persons who bad probably boon oa the look out for him ran Into the road flourishing petitions. It was touching to turn motion to then people to flin thoir papers into his carriage, knowing a hs did last tho captain of hi escort waa under orders not to rein In for anybody.

BbbP i iX? A Multitude Seeking Belief from the Feat at the Beach. Coney Island Thronged from Manhattan to the Point Scenes and Incidents Along Shore The Coming Pyrotechnic Displays Bathers Beveling in the Surf. Brighton Beaob. was the refuge yesterday of people who had been driven from the city by tho heat. From morning until latest night a mul titude filled the hotel and surged through the grounds about the maBio stand and the bathing pavilion.

In the early aftarnoon there was hardly, a breeze stirring, 'and the people eagerly caught at every breath of air within reach. Aa the mercury in Brooklyn continued to ollmb the throng Increased. Each Incoming train brought a tremendous load of passengers thousands came down from 'Manhattan on the marine railway and other thousands made their way over the Concourse from the weit end. Whoa the concert commenced in tho afternoon It waa difficult to obtain standing room on the piazzas of the Hotel Brighton, and moving was entirely out of the range of possibilities. The Beats In the grounds and the seats down on the Beach were all filled, and hundreds of men, women and children reclined upon the sands In the Bhade of immense sun umbrellas! Fans were at a premium.

Their vibration was visible all along the line of female beauty that made the piazzas attractive and reminded one of forest leaveB stirred by a gale. Tho faoiliUes of the great Hotel Brighton for catering were strained to the utmost, and yet it was with groat difficulty that the demand of the table oould be supplied. The dining rooms were constantly filled by a hungry army of seaside patriots intent upon demolishing tho bills of fare. Waitora, bathed la perspiration until they resembled armorless divers, flew around distractedly, and steamed from tho biiohen to the dining balls and from the dining halls to the kitchen again with aU manner of good things to tloUe the palate. In tho barroom business is always brisk, but yesterday's trade surprised even the wlilto coated bartenders themselves.

Drinks of every description disappeared aa if by magic. Almost every ono wanted something cool and they took plenty of it. Nevertheless it had no evil effect, for not a drunken man was to bo seen about the grounds and no disorder occurred, Ono of the most agreeable expe riences at tho Beach yesterday must have been felt by peoplo who are fond of children and who are not 1 The collection of infants made a baby show more won dorf ul than any ever seen before. There were healthy babies who doubled up thoir ohubby fists and brandished them vigorously In the air, and sick babies who lay in the arms of their Bursas or in th cradles pro vided for thorn, trying to inhalo returning health from tho salt sea air. That Coney Island is the place for children waB amply proved by yesterday's experience.

The little folks appreciated itjto the utmost. While the babies stared and wondered, such of the young folks as could walk gambolled on the Beaoh and played on the edges of tho breakers in their bare feet, Sfany wonderful castloB were built In the Band by those inno cent little architects and they had a right merry time In spite of tho boat. Bathing was extonsively indulged in at tho Brighton Pavilion. The water was warm and pleasant and exceedingly banencial in its effects. No accidents occurred every one who went in the Burf came out refreshed and invigorated.

The afternoon and evening concerts were very successful. Director Neuondorff led his orchestra through an elaborate pro gramme and ellcitod the hearty applause of the audience. Slgnor Llberati played a cornet solo with his accustomed skill and M. Lefobro gave sovsral solos on the saxophone. It was with great regret that the visitors saw tho musicians depart at tho olose of the concert and the hope was expressed by many that the music will be oontinuod until a later hour hereafter.

Toward evening, when the crowd was at its height, promonitions woro given of a change in the weathor. The Bky becamo overcast with hugo black clouds and a stiff breeza sprang up from tbo west. The wind began to play all Borts of pranks. It was not sufficiently violent to do serious da mage, but it raised olouds of duBt on the concourse and lashed the deep green of tho ocean Into billows of white foam. Every one expected a tor rlflo thunder storm and a simultaneous move was mado for places of sheltor.

Tho hotel and bathing pavLion wero Jamtnod full to their utmost capacity. Peoplo watched the sky apprehonslvely for a while and then went down to the Beach again. The storm soemod to havo passed over to the westward. Off toward tho point tho sky seemed as blaok as night and occasional flashes of lightning marked tho progress of the storm. It was not until after dark that rain bogan to fall at Brighton and it did not seriously intorforo with the visitors, who eat comfortably beneath the sheltor of tho piazzas and enjoyod tho muBic.

A large proportion of the people llngorod until they woro compelled to leavo by tho departure of the last train. A large force of workmon va9 busy yostorday on tho new track, the Brighton Beach Fair Grounds, getting things in readiness for this afternoon's races. A boat arrived yostorday from Long Branch bringing some of tho best thoroughbreds that ran at Moumouth Park. Mr. Wheatley, tho Secretary of the track, received word yesterday that a number of horses are coming to tho oourso from Saratoga.

Sergeant Harry Van Wagner, who commands Enge man's polico forco. is always on the alert for offendors. Yesterday afternoon he noticod a man at the Pavilion aoting in a veiy suspioious manner. He directed Offlcor Charles PearaaU to dress himself in citizens' clothes and mingle with tho crowd near whoro tho suspicious ohap was at work, Tho officer had no aoonor oboyod the order he caught the fellow in tho aofcof picking a gentleman's pocket. The plokpocket was immediately taken into custody.

He protested his innocence, but he could nut convince the officers thereof. Before Justice Vooruees he Bald his name was William Woodhull, of tho corner of Thompson and Houston streets, Now York. Ho was committed for examination. The E. D.

Farroll Coaching Club, named in honor of a New York merchant, made an excursion to Brighton yesterday. They wont down in ten coaches, reaching the Island in time for dinner. About 200 persons' were ot the boBrd. The dinner was Insufficient to supply the appetites of tho guests and there was much grumbling in consequence of tho slipshod manner in whioh it was served. Speeches were mado by Aldorman Koborts, Mr.

Farroll and others. The gastronomloal and oratorical exercises wore unpleasantly varied by a personal difficulty between one of tho guests and a waiter, which ended in the guest smashing a plate over the waiter's head. The polico wore called in and after a short souffle, in which a revolver was displayed by one of the participants, tho fuss was Bottled and the members of tho olub, who expressed regret for the disturbance, continued thoir dinner. Tbe preparations for the grand display of fireworks at Brighton were completed yesterday. The exhibition promises to be ono of tho finest over given in this country.

inanliattaii Bcacli. The effects of a hot day an extraordinarily hot day were to be seen in full flowor yesterday afternoon and evening. There was an exodus from tho hot and sweltering streets to tho cool winds and tho sand; and they went down in myriads. Whew how hot it was, we in Brooklyn thought it almost beyond endurance, when the thermometer at tbo Eaoi office showed 99 degrees in the shade. Over in New York it was even worse, and had it not been for the breezo that blew steadily during the latter half of the day, the heat wonld have been unaupportable.

And oven the wind blowing over the baking streets gathered boat as a sponge soaks up water, and by the time its gnsta reached the upper end of the great city it came with the scorching sweep of a simoon. What wonder then that every one who could got away and sought some Bpot where the wind was a little less like the blast of the desert, and of course all thoughts turned Coney Island ward. Mothers and ohildron fled early in tho day, and during the hours of the afternoon the piazzas, the esplanade end the sand were alive With groups of little ones. It is marvelous how much pleasure can be got by a child by digging a bole in the sand. There soems to be a propensity born in the human race to dig.

However that may is certain thata andja small paU will do more to complete the sum of childish happiness on tha Beach than any other outfit, however costly. As the hours wore on and the shadows began to lengthen the brlghf masses of olond began to pile themselves up In the western sky. How golden and beautiful they looked tossed therein gmt billowy masses and showing silver and golden and purple in the various changes of light and shade. But when they rolled across the ace of the they began to look ominous. The first two or throe showers that came up went off to the northward, and the Island; people began to think they wonld escape still tha incoming trains came down loaded with hot and perspiring humanity, and the bath houses did a roaring trade.

On the piazzas about the Manhattan It waa difficult to get about, so crowded were they, while, a seat at one of the restaurant tables had' to bo looked out for sharply if you wanted anything to eat. The Marine Bailway between' Manhattan and Brighton was crowded at every trip, and no sooner was the depot emptied than It was fined again. And so the evohlng woro on, the crowd listening delightedly to the music of Gllmoie's splendid and to the matchless cornetist. It was, enough to Induce one' to forget the heat. Shortly after eight o'dock a dark and heavy' cloud came rolling up from the' west, and tha vivid flashes of lightning which darted athwart its baas, only served to show how black and heavy'it; was.

It came up rapidly and the crowd began to loo! up and speculate whether it would come their way. Prudent mammaa gathered their flocks together and sought safety on the plazxa, but the young person in bunting and 'the accompanying young man saw no daer.and ttill wandered along the' sand. The flashes of Ughtnbig wore very' brilliant nd.sbowed momenUrily the lopg Uno of rain under the inky curtain of the foremost masses. It came down first a few big drops, than a'spiash Hi spatter, which sentthe crowd skurrying piawaroV The' young person Is banting and' the accompanying young man were rudely lnterraptod and broagkf upthe rear of the flight in great haste and a demoralised condition, from having to run for tt. Banning takes the romance out of a thing.

Then the rain came down In a deluge, and for a little while it seemed as though the pleasure of the evening had been brought to an uiiimely clow. The lightning waa exoesilveif lurid and dazzling. It seemed to come In great blinding sheets flame flashing across the whole heavens, and 'tiba athwart the expanse wodld da vivid stroak df.crlnMed fire that clove the brilliancy with a aUll hrlgfiier tongue of fire. There was not much thunder, and the rain was of brief endurance. It was only a brush with the tip of the wing of the great storm angol as he passed along.

Its value as an Advertisiiijjf medium In theruiore up GOTcrnsr Kobinsoii and the State Democracy Our highly esteemed contemporary, the (Veto York World, has been at considerable pains to ascertain the general opinion entertained of Governor Robinson's administration by citizens irrespective of party, throughout the State; and also what Democrats think of the wisdom of renominating him.

To the first of these questions, it seems to us that an answer might have been safely made without so laborious an induction as our contemporary has employed. To the second question, that rolating to the renomination, the effort made to seoure an answer free from sectional bias or factional feeling is most commendable. It is well known to every one familiar with politics in this State, that the irrational hostility of Tammany Hall to the Governor has so complicated matters for the Democrats that it would ba unsafe to infer from tho generally acknowledged excellence of his administration that those who favor his retention for another term must bo in tho majority. It is not difficult to imagine Domoerats, full of admiration for tho Governor, so affected by the blustering opposition to him of Tammany Hall as to believe that a now man ought to bo taken up for the sake of harmony. Holding to the essential doctrine that the individual must be kept subordinate to tho general welfare of the party, Democrats abovo reproach might conclude that thero was that in the present situation which required Governor Robinson to step aside.

This is the more likely, for there is an absurdly excessive estimate placed by many of the rural Democrats on tho influence oxerted by Tammany on tho political sentiment of Now York City. They eeem to overlook the fact that tho existence of Tammany Hall has never been advanced as an argument in support of the Democratic creed, and that those who are Democrats despite, and not because of, its existence would not be likely to change their faith if all tho braves should cast in their lot with tho Republicans. Because of the misapprehension on this point and the laudable desire to make an end of dissension the inquiry of the World was most pertinent. That the Governor's administration has so cured general approval cannot be doubted, unless it be assumed that tho great mass of our citizens are incapable of understanding the simplest statistics or are opposed to light taxes, prosperous commerce and scvero integrity in office. Tho Eaole had occasion a few days ago to state that the cost of maintaining our State government, which was 15, 727,482 under General Dix, has been, through the exertions of Samuel J.

Tilden and Governor Robinson, reduced to $7,687,103 for tho current year. To supposo that this result, backed up as it is by spotless character aud vigorous common sense on tho part of the chief official representative of tho policy which brought it about, is to question tho of the Commonwealth. That tho correspondents of the World from every part of the State should write in a strain of uniform commendation of tho administration was therefore to be looked for as a matter of course. The answers, however, to tho question about re nomination do, we confess, surprise us somewhat by their accord in support of tho view that the best interests of the party will bo subserved bv making Lucius Robinson the candidate. Indeed, while far from aspersing the motives of any of the correspondents in question, we believe that there is in some quarters less unanimity than has found expression.

From what our contemporary publishes, it is to bo inferred that sentiment is practically all one way but this, we are confident, is not the case. That Governor Robinson is very strong is not doubtful that ho would bo renominated to morrow if the convention were held is more than probable but it is not less apparent that tho opposition is far from being contemptible in point of strength. What, howover, the reports before us do mako pretty cloar, is that the majority of Democrats are not disposed to change the policy or candidates of tho party to suit tho changing whims of the Boss of Tammany Hall. Whatever Tammany has to urge in reason will bo listened to and have due weight, as will counsel from any other organization but tho Democracy of tho Stata will not submit to the rude dictation of any local interest. Tammany Hall will not be permitted to kill off any candidate in advance by pouring upon him torrents of abuse, or threatening to bolt in case of his nomination, any more than it will be able to dragoon any considerable number of citizens of New York into voting against the nominee.

How ineffectual all tho brutal abuse of Tildeu was to prevent his nomination at St. Louis is recalled, together with tho pitiful figure the leader of Tammany cut when the State which ho, reiterated Tilden could not carry gave him over' thirty thousand majority. If Tammany Hall profits at once by its experience and by the unmistakable temper of tho general Democracy, it may be suffered to retain its placo at the council board of the party but that it will not be permitted to go on voting in the conventions of tho party while vilifying accepted leaders and threatening to bolt unless allowed to dictate is certain. Tho indecency of the course pursued toward Mr. Tilden and Governor Robinson is as manifest as that no Democrat who is not a craven can think of permitting such tactics to succeed.

When tho Democrats gather in State Convention they will do bo as rational beings, prepared to profit by the wisdom of each other and resolved not to surrender before the menaces of blackguards what should bo determined only by dispassionate argument. Governor Robinson may not be renominated, but, if not, it will be for some better reason than that an organization whioh has been too long tolerated and which has often brought disgrace on the party shakes its fist and threatens to induce ruin if not permitted to rule. The behavior of Tammany hardly needs characterization when contrasted with that of the friends of Tilden and Robinson. In no instance has the abuse of these gentlemen been met with counter abuse of tho gentlemen whom Tammany has seen fit to favor for the Gubernatorial nomination. That they happen to be approved by the inheritors of Tweed's renown has not led tho opponents of Tammany Hall to forget that they are gentlemen and Democrats, that their title to respect is not to be vitiated because a noisy aud foul mouthed advocate has chosen to speak for them.

Suppose that Mr. Dorsheimer, Mr. Potter or Judge Church should get tho nomination, what embarrassment would any such Democrats as live in Kings County be under The records will be searched in vain to find a speech or a newspaper article published here that could be used to bolstorup any charge of inconsistency. No matter what the differences may have been in points of policy, Kings County has never spoken otherwise than proudly of Mr. Dorsheimer, with respect of Mr.

Potter and with an undisguised and unaffected affection of Judge Church. Hence, this county is in a position to do what every loyal Democratic county ought to be able to do, to the convention ot mo party, express its preference, exert its proper influence to convince other delegations of the soundness of its position, and, if overruled, to enter the contest for victory at the polls zealously, in good faith and without fear of having proof of self stultification thrrrrra in its teeth. How different this is from the position of Tammany Hall is apparent enough. That organization had to make a campaign in behalf of a representative Democrat who, according to its own story, ought to have been in jail, and unless the aspect of affairs changes it will either have to desert the Democracy, or support for tn' Governorship a gentloman whom it has been for months pust picturing as a disgrace to the high office ho occupies. The Democrats of Kings County are proud of their consistent support of TiMen and Rob inson, but they are prouder still that the ardor of their support has never carried them into tho aspersion of any Democrat, because he exercised his right to differ from and oppose them.

Judge Church has, for several years past, favored some hues of action which the people hero did not the best that could bo followed, iiur. TCflllv v. jU search long and far' Kaiser Franx Regiment. A temple of muslo was erected in Boston. The day of jubilee had come.

Such a gathering of the hosts of music from all lands had sever before been seen nor dreamed of. The day solocted for its opening waa the 17th of June, 1873, tho anniversary of tho bottlo ot Bunker Hill, and lbs place within sight of its monument. There was the grand chorus of twenty thousand voices. There waa an army of music There was the great organ, tho most powerful ever built. There was tho vast audience, many coming hundreds and some thousands of miles from all lands, Gilmoro takes the stand amid a rising Balnte of the vast assemblage.

He waves his baton and a Niagara of muslo rushes forth and floods the senses, suoh as bad never before been hoard on earth. The British Grenadier Guard struck up the "Star Spangled Banner," and Gilmoro's Band acknowledged the compliment with the English National anthem. An encore" brought Gilmore and Godfrey on the stand together, and Gilmore gave the baton to the English leader. Tho grand performance next to the Triumphal March, "With Shoathod Sword," was tha "Marsolllalse," by the French Band, with twenty thousand voices, two thousand instruments, the great organ and batteries of artillory fired by electricity os tho "March on" of tho grand hymn rolled over tho excited multitude. When President Grant appeared tho scene was sublime.

The oheorlng of tho multitude of fifty thousand, the swelling of tho chorus and the muslo of the bands the Marine band of Washington in tho front, the Gorman on the right, the Fronch on the left, the English supporting the marines all dressed in fuU uniform and standing in little squares, and "Hall to the Chief" waa glvon with such effect aa nover was heard beforo and never will be perhaps again, Tho festival continued for eighteen days, opening on tho anniversary of Bunker Hill and closing upon tha Fourth of July. I should not omit notiotng a very pIoaB lng Incident In tho festival. Toward its close a band from Ireland hastily organized in Dublin, by private ofort without municipal or national patronage arrived and were enthusiastically reueivod. Their appearance was greeted and acknowledged by the grand chorus rendering Irish melodies with charming tenderness and effect. The coat of tho jubilee was eovou hundred and fifty dollars, and all Its bills were paid.

Such an, enterprise had nover boon undertaken and probably never will bo again. Much us Gilmore loved Boaton and much aa Boston honored Gilmore, thoro waa but one city on the continent where he could have abundant supply of material for bis musical doslgns. In 1873 ho became tho bandmaster of the Twenty second Rcgimont Baud. In 1875 Gllmoro'a Concort Garden was openod in Now York. Tho band was Increased to ono hundred porformors.

A sorios of concerts, oxtendiug over ono hundred and fifty nights, was given, coronating in a benefit to Mr. Gilmore, at which ten thousand peoplo assembled. Tho band gavo many concerts throughout tho country, and in 1876 wont to California, whore they gave concerts to audiences ranging up to fifteen thousand. They visited Utah and performed In Bdgham Young's Tabernacle. Thoy gave Blxty concerts at the Ccntonnial Exhibition in Philadelphia, in the main building of tho Exhibition, ond Mr.

tiilmore was selected by tho Commissioners and tho City Government of Philadelphia to conduct the musical exerclBea on Indopondonco square, July 1876, tho centennial of the Declaration of Independence. The numbor of concorts glvon by tho bond in Now York waa five hundred. They gave ouo hundred ooncorts frem Maine to California boforo their departure to Europe.and all with marked success, securing the attendance of vast audiences already educated, but seeking a higher cultivation In muslo. Among tho visitors at New York wero Dom Pedro, tho Emporor of Brazil, and Don Carlos, who foueht for tho crown of Spain. In May, 1878, they sailed for and visited tha principal cities of Europe.

On this Europeivn tour they gave one hundred and fifty one concerts, with the greatest artistic success. Tho musical pooplo of Europo wero surprised to reall7.e?or tbo first time that America was so far advanced iu the art of music. Mr. Gilmoro has received many grand benefits and valuablo testimonials, resulting in large sums, which he dovoted, not to himsolf, but to the development of hlH art in this country. His benefit after the Peace Jubilee amounted to forty thousand doWars, and that at tho close of the World's Fostival fifty thousand.

Among his compositions is "God Savo Our Union," words and music by himself. Ho is a devoted enthusiast in the stability and success of tho Amcriaan Union, as expressed in this ploco "God save our Union, God save onr land From all disunion, keep heart and baud Truo to our nation, truo unto Thco Lord of creation, teach us to be."

Travis then said that ho was stabbed: I did not see any blow given before tho stabbing by cither party, nor did I hear a cross word or any loud talk; I think I waa about fourteen feet from the parties when the trouble occurred; I cannot say positively whether Travis was under the Influence of liquor or not, but according to my best Judgment he was sober; the time Travis was In front of No. 13 Fulton street he told me he waa stabbed; be then bent on his knees and sat down; subsequently he was carried to the station house. To a Juror I waa acquainted with both the parties; neither of them showed any sign of intoxication. To Mr.

liidgway Travis bad a can in bis hand; did not eoo Shirley getting his boots blacked; did not see Travis strike Shirley In the mouth; did not tee him strike Shirley with a cane, nor did I see Travis take hold of Shirley violently and pull him; when Shirley Btabbed Travis tho latter did not have his cane up In tha air in the act of striking the prisoner; aid not near mm cau the prisoner any harsh names or make any threats; Travis was a 'longshoreman, and so far aa I was acquainted with him, ho was a quiet, harmless follow; I nover know of him being arrested for beating anyone. To Mr. Wernberg Travis was standing for fifteen minutes in front of the news stand before Shirley came up to him: Shirley oome up to Travis almost on a dog trot, and hit him twice In the breast; Shirley came down Fulton street from Front; after Shirley had struck Travis twice In the breast, Travis shook his cans in front of him and said, "Go away from me; these wore all the words I hoard pass between the parties: I am certain Travis did not raise his cane before Shirloy struck him, or at the Ume of striking him.

DB. A. W.

BHEPABU made the following statement In eonneetton with Dr. O'Connell, I made a pott mortem examination of tha body of Michael Travis, at tho City Hospital, July 17 1879; found the body well nourished and moScuhU development good: height about 8 feet BX inches; rigor mortis well marked; found a punctured wonnd about one third inch In length just left of the medium line of sternum' and opposite the second rib; this wound only penetrated through the integument and terminated against the bone beneath; another wound about half an inoh in length, abont two Inches to the right of sternum, between the third and fourth penetrated tha pleural cavity, dividing both interoostal arteries to tt course; it was from this wound that tha great quantity Of hemorrhage, both external and Internal, occurred; the right pleural cavity was filled with clotted blood and its serum; brain pale and.oxsanWbiabjd. but'othorwiao healthy; with the exception of a general bloodless appearance, all the organs normal: In ay opinion death resulted from Internal hemorrhage caused by stab wounds; from appearance of organs deceased was not an habitual drunkard. WALTBB BZDSLL, of the 8ooond Precinct, was the next wSpe, and testified aa follows I was on daty at Fulton Ferry; was going up the street toward the Franklin Honae; passed a man, who said, "Officer, think there 18 a' man' cut up there;" saw Travis coming toward ma; ha caught me by the arm and said, "Are you on duty at the ferry?" answered him, "Yes;" he said, "I have been stabbed;" I said, "Who did It ho answered, "Tbetf la tha polnting up th street; that moment Shirley started to run, I after him: he ran until ha crossed Front street, to front of apothecary shop; then he stopped turned' around, and came toward me; 1 then arrested him, and took him to the station house; saw Shirley when Aral pointed out to me by Travis: Shirloy was facing me and Travis when he pointed him out; Shirley had asked me to arrest Travis, that bad hit him; this wm about half an hour before Travis said ha was stabbed; told Shirley to get a warrant for Travis on Monday morning; Shirley did Dot show how his bat was broken, and his vest torn until he got. to the station house; at th ferry," before the stabbing, ha showed me hi Up, and said It was out; he said Travis bad done it, and that ha wanted to have him arresWd; Travis had a ten cent cane In his hand; think Travis was under the influence of liquor; Shirley was sober; I couldn't say whether Travis was a violent man, likely to provoke a quarrel; Travia' can waa a pretty heavy one; under the pollee regulations a warrant is required where a man shorn aig of assault; when Shirley asked me to arrest Travia Travis was nol la sight; half an hour olapsad from the time.

Shirloy spoke to me till the sUbblng coourred. A number of other witnesses were to have been examined but none of them being present, the inquest waa adjourned till next Friday afternoon ai four o'clock, to tho Coroner's office. The prisoner, Shirley, is quits youthful looking and la small and delicate, while his victim was a powerfully built man. Ho has no relative or friends in the coo try aid is quite broken down by present trouble in which Is involved, and which is one which ho has ever bad, never having bean arrested before for any offense. In the 'telegraph ta i which he has beon employed aa night clerk, hi ohara oBr waa good and hi situation willbs kept open rxmdiagthe Trial of his case.

While the testimony given abv bears a bad look for him, it is said there are several wltaessei to be examined who win show that he was violently assaulted and brutally treaUd by Travis, Before he complained to Officer Bedoll, and that TravU was in the act of striking bun with bis can before hs nsod toe knife. Dr. Slmms la determined to moke the Investigation a thorough as possible, and elicit ail the available facta. Soma of those who witnessed tho occurrence, have exhibit sd an inclination to refrain from making any statement but tho Coroner will compol thorn to do ao. The fatal sequel to tho row would have been prevented had Officer JJodoli complied with 8hlrl6y's roquMt and taken his assailant to the station bouBO.

and it la ilkoly he will be called on to give a more explicit explanation OI bis conduct than be did taut evening. tency of the threat to bolt the ticket, if Gov ernor Robinson should be renominated, we take the following passage from the editorial page of the World The onnonftfon to rtnrariKtr Robinson in this city proceeds aololy from the ofllco holding oligarchy whose etuuLUGM ue nun tjoverut UUJOB UUU wwjum Tt. ia nlinnat Tipr nrhnhln fhf mnnnffcra of Tammany Halt will bolt the nomination if Governor Hobinson la nominated. But it 1b not In tho least probauio mat uiu voters of Tammany Hall will in fact do anything of the kind. The Republican alliance haB not yet gone the length of granting Tammany a regular representation in a Republican State convention, and it would bo refreshing to witness the reception of a Tammany delega sation in a Democratic State convention after Tammany had announced its intention ot noiting a uemocraoo nomination for Govornor.

It has been the open boast.of Tammany that there are many thousands of voters In this city who can be rolled upon to vote the Tammany ticket without looking to see what nameB it bears. If Tiumnany really bolted a Democratic nomination wo should und out exactly now many oi meso uusoikju creatures thero are. Nobody can doubt that a Democratic ticket so good that Tammany would bolt It would attract moro than enough of Republican and independent votes to cover the loss; but thoro 1b really no hope that Tammany as a faction will relieve the Democratic party so pleasantly of itsolf. If Governor Robinson 1b renominated he will not need tho Tammany voto, but aro afraid ho will not bo allowed to enjoy the peculiar honor of Booing it cast against him In a general State election. WHcrcln Lies tlie Difference.

The JVcw York Express quotes appro vingly, and for the example of the Domoerats of this State, the action taken by the Democracy of both Maine and Ohio. In both States the Democrats, tho Express says, have nominated their strongest men, disregarding alike what it is pleased to term "the siren voice of faction "and ambition." There would seem to be more difficulty in this Stato in tho Democratic ranks than in either of the States named, for it so happens that in this Stato thero is a Democratic organization, which claims to be strong enough either to elect or dofeat a Democratic candidate for Governor, and tho spokesmen of that organization threaten to "bolt" if one of the most prominent Democrats named for Governor should receive tho nomination. No such state of things as this existed either in Maine or Ohio. In Ohio, for instance, Mr. Ewing did not seem to be the strongest candidate for tho nomination.

The contest seemed to be between Mr. Rico and the present Governor, Mr. Bishop. Mr. Ewing was attending to his duties at Washington while the convention was being held in his Stato, and he stood ready, no doubt, to heartily support either Mr.

Rico or Mr. Bishop, had either been nominated. No Democrat in Ohio threatened to "bolt" if Mr. Bishop, should be renominated, and herein lies the distinction between tho Democratic situation in the two States. Tho Ohio Convention nominated Mr.

Ewing, and they selected Mr. Rice, who was tho more prominent candidate for the first placo on the ticket, for the offico of Lieutenant Governor. Mr. Rice promptly waived all personal feeling, aud accepted the position assigned him. But, if any considerable number of Democrats in Ohio had threatened to "bolt" if Mr.

Rice were nomftated for Governor, it is morally certain he would not havo accepted tho nomination for Lieutenant Governor, while he would, naturally, bo a lukewarm supporter of the ticket named by his party. Thero aro a great many Domoerats who think that Governor Robinson should bo renominated, but we fail to notico that nuy of these Democrats have said a word in disparagement of any other candidate. Tammany Hall alone proclaims its determination in advance not to support a particular candidate in any event. Such a position as this, if adhered to, renders a faction fight inevitable. If Tammany should not have its own way, then Tammany will maintain a faction fight on its own account aud risk.

If Tammany should succeed in defeating Mr. Robinson, that will bo, under the circumstances, tho triumph of a faction, and of a faction which openly threatens revolt in advance. No self respecting Democrat will enter into a consultation with Tammany Hall on these terms. In skirmishing around for somebody to beat Robinson, the Tammany organ says Lot them (tho Democrat) unite on the abloat and best man they can find, oven though they rob tho highest Court in tho State of its brightest ornament. Judge Church can well afford to resign tho office ho has filled with so much distinction, to bo Governor of tho Etnplro State.

Judge Church would mako an excellent candidate for Governor, or for any other offico within the gift of American people The Democrats of Kings County would support Judge Church with great heartiness, if it should seem to a Stato Convention, concerned only in getting the best man, that our highest Court should be "robbed" of its head in order to procure his services. A truo Democrat would regard with the same disgust any Democratic organization whioh should threaten to bolt in case of Judge Church's nomination, as is created by tho present attitude of Tammany Hall in making insulting conditions of its fidelity in advance of tho meeting of the Stato Convention. A Healthy City. An interesting and instructive field of study is afforded by the mortality reports which are made weekly to tho Board of Health. Especially is this the caso during the Summer season, when the effects of the temperature are keenly olt and people are naturally apprehensive of disease Tho Eagle has previously had occasion to congratulate the citizens of Brooklyn on the increased healthfulness of the population as shown by the large reduction 'in tho annual death rate, which has fallen from thirty on the thousand to less than twenty.

Our assertion that this city is, from a sanitary point of view, more advantageous as a place of residence than any other large city in the Union, has reoeived amplo verification, but this fact, instead of lulling our people to the inactivity, of conscious security, should lead them to be vigilant in regard to everything touching1 their physical welfare. Of course, at this tune of the year, the death rate reaches the highest point, owing to the deleterious effects of the heat, particularly upon young children, who are deprived of fresh air, the grandest tonio that nature has vouchsafed to mankind. Tho hot weather that set in with the last of June and the early part of July increased the number of deaths in the week ending July 5 to 350, as against less than 200 during the preceding seven days and of the 850 who died 231 were children under five years of age, 104 being less than one year old. For the past week we find a total of 323 deaths, which is 27 less than during tne preceding week. Of this number 211 were children under five years of age and 151 of these were under one year.

It is an open question whether there is any necessary connection between the hot weather and the increased mortality that is to say, it is by no means clear that the exercise of proper care would not carry us through the short term of extreme heat as well as ordinary modes of living carry us through the rest of the year. Much, of course, depends upon the conditions of the people, their habits and the stato of thoir domicils. This is impressed upon us by the fact that destruction to human life to a great extent arises in tenement houses, where men, women and ohildren aro compelled to suffer from impure air, imperfect drainage and general surroundings of a character that make existence a perpetual struggle against the grim destroyer. Hundreds of tho children who die fall victims to tho unfortunate conditions we have indicated, rather than to the increase in the temperature itself. In this connection we notice that the Registrar of Vital Statistics makes the very suggestive observation that while 65.82 of all the persons dying last week were under five years of age, according to the last census the corresponding death rate for the entire Stato was bjt 32.66, If what has been shown in the State be accopted as the normal rate, as wo must assumo it toljo, it follows that under the conditions of city life, 50 per cent, of our children are being sacrificed, dying not so much bocauso of the heat, but from the effect of abnormal conditions.

With these facts in viow, however, it is gratifying to say that we have leBS to complain of now than ever before, For several weeks in succession thero has been a marked improvement, and whilo 325 deaths may seem a great many in a sinrlo week, tho number sinks UUl 1U.L. vv..
