Wingert, J. White, A. P. Carlin, Sbirden, Blane, Smith, Lemken, Haas, Chase ana, w. u.

Hunter, white led off with a neatly killed driver.

Robort Smith, of the Metropolitan, Hotel, at East New York, has commenced the erection a new hotel, at the Junction formed by East New York, Atlantlo and Van Sinderen avonues. Ths build ing will face on Van Sinderen avenue. It will be by 100 feet, three story high, and of a very ornamental design. At the side of it, and faolng upon Atlantlo and Van Sinderen avenues, will be a waiting room for passengers. Tho spot is a very line one for a building of the kind, and will fill a want that has long existed.

At this point, the rapid transit, Long Island, Brighton Beach, Manhattan Beach and Canarsie trains stop, and when a waiting room is erected, the passengers ho desire to change from any one of these smany roads to another, will be able to do so without having to cross tracks, as at present, and run the risk accidents.

the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle Many persona are cogitating just now as to where they shall go for a Summer trip. Permit me to offer to your columns the following remarks The traveler can reach Boston, after a glorious sail through the Sound, for one dollar; crossing ths olty to the eastern railroad, he is landed in Portsmouth, N. In two hours, and deposited on the steps of the Rockingham House for two dollars more. He now finds himself domiciled at one of the most beautiful hotels in New England. He is at the headquarters of freth fish, and the meats and vegetables which can be produced.

In pretty little city (where there are hundreds of houses built long before Chicago and Cincinnati were thought of), he win perhaps think he has aJJ the rural wants. If he wiahea to vary the scene, he has close hand Straw's Point, Wallla' Sands. Bye Beach, Little BoajfsHead, Great Boar'sHead, (or Hampton New Hampshire ooast. Turning to the eastward, he Cape Neddock, York Beach, Weils Beach, 6c, In Maine. The numerous roads into the country are excellent, and the scenery delightful.

An English writer that the green lanes of old Hampton put bim.more mind of ol Engjand than anything he saw. And finally you may take steamer every day, ana gliding down the beautiful river, leaving the Navy Yard Kittery Point (the home cf our unique Americas Sir wm. Pepperill) on one hand and Fort Constitution on the other, lana at the Isle of Shoals In one hour. A column or two of your paper would 'hardly suffice a full description of Portsmouth. This charming centre of the Summer tourist, Agamenticus, the highest land on the coast; tho Wentworth park, charming place at "the meeting of the waters" of sea river, Winneplssoogee Lake Is two hours by rail.

the other points can be reached in about an hour. advice, therefore, is to the wavering spirit who has decided where to go, to make a break for the Rockingham, and after that be guided by bis wits and inclinations. These remarks from a a recent visitor to this remarkable place will be closed by the statement that shade abound, and that it Is without exoeption tho clean place he ever saw.

"I was never better pleased in my life," said one of them. "My business brings me in relation with Jews durimr tho dav and I don't want to meet them down here. I prefer to leave my business and my customers la New York." One of the hotel policeman waa aakedlf there wero any Jews among the visitors to day Wednesday, he replied, was one of their days.

There were very few Jews here to day. As they come together, and kopt each other in countenance, in a Utile while, he thought. there would be few or no Jews among the visitors to the Manhattan. The reporter stood at the doBk while a gentleman was endeavoring to ongago rooms for himself aud his two daughters. He desired connecting rooms, but he was willing to accept, If these were not to bo had, any room that might be assigned to himself, provided a front room could be given to the two young ladies.

The clerk politely informed the gentleman that there was not a single room In the hotel which was not occupied. Tho gentleman gave an ordor for the accommodation he wanted, and was content to take his chances of obtaining It within a short time. One of tho proprietors of the hotel was asked for the best Information he had as to the result of the business of the day. "I think there was not as large a orowd here as yes terday," ho said, "but of this fact I have absolute proof, the receipts were just seven hundred dollars In excess of yesterday not a largo sum, to be sure, In comparison with our aggregate receipts, but Btill sufficient to mark tho turning of tho tldo, A larger num ber of the better class Is sure to come to the Manhattan horeaf tor. Wo have now hero somo of the best neoDlo in tho country," The reporter mot Mr.

Corbln, who had just returned from his country residence, near Babylon. He met tho reporter in the hearty way characteristic of him, and seemed to be amused by the bustle bo had raised in the newspapers, at all eveuts. Nothing that ho had heard or read appeared to have weakened his confidence In his Judgment. "I have done the right thing it was necessary to do it, and I have no doubt about the result." He seemed to be amused by the allegations that he was governed by race or religious prejudice. "This charge," he said, "wiii turn many laugh against ma by those who know me boat.

They will never believe that Corbln was anxious to get into a fight about reli gion. Although I have made most of what little money I have In the National bank business, I have always acted with the political party which brought me clos est to tho humble to the working ciaises. had any prejudice It was rather In favor of tho Jaws, for I have always heard It said that I havo agreed with the majority of them in political opinion at all events I shall always be glad to make ths working class wel come here, he went on to say. The most pleaeantly located building here was constructed for tho accommodation of thoso who could not afford to spend much money hore, and who bring their lunoh with them.

If this class of our oustomers are not wel comed as oordially as any other class, I would like to know it, so that I would guard against any discrimina tion as between those who dine luxuriously at ono of our establishments and those who need not spond a penny at anothor, if they do not fool inolined to do so." Mr. Corbln did not act or talk like a man who had made a mistako, but bo complained that words wore put in ms mourn wnicn ue ma not utter, titui, no said, the newspapers put me right on the main issue, and I have nothing to complain of. The newspapers have always treated us with great kindness. How A JTotviah Pamphleteer Meets tho Cane. Among the contributions to the Jewish ques tion is the following cynical account lu pamplet form of a meeting fur "the suppression of tho Jews A mooting of the American Society for the Suppression of the Jews was hold Tuesday evening in the blue parlor of the Grand Union Hotel if Saratoga.

Mr. Henry Hilton presided and Mr. Austin COrbln acted as Secretary. Max L. ltossyall made a few preliminary remarks and argued that the best way to suppress the jJewn was to convert them to Christianity, as he had been converted vShlle serving a term in the Albany Penitentiary.

Mr. Corbln objocted to introducing any religious element Into the disousslon, claiming that ths society opposed tho Jews only as a nasty and vulgar race ana not on ocoount of their religion. Ho thought, however, that the time had como for nice and refined Christians to put themselves on record as utterly opposed to Iho toleration of Jows in American socloty. "If this Is a free oountry," said the Speaker, "why can't we be froo of the Jews?" (Loud applause. Mr.

Hilton, taking ths floor, said that ho quito agreed with the previous Bpeaker. Tho Jews In America were becoming, like their ancestors in Egypt, too numerous and powerful to bo tolerated. Their business energy and abilities wore a constant menace to the welfare of truly Christian trade such as ho practlcod Hind If America was not to be Judalzed the Christiana must unite to suppress these formidable rivals. By excluding them as much as possible from social advantages, by holding their men up to scorn and their women to ridicule, by never missing an opportunity to harass and pursue them, ho thought they might soon be persuaded to return to Jerusalem, where, ho said, thoy ought always to have remained. After speeches to the same effect by Mr.

D. O. Corbln, Counselor Chatneld and others, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted Whereas, The rapid increase of the Jewish population in the United State, and especially in New York, has beoomo a constantly menacing danger to the welfare of Christian cltizons Whereas, Jewish competition, backed by Jewish audacity. Is rearing Its head In commercial, political, lltor ary and professional llfo Whereas, We find our clubs and hotels invaded by Jews, who also fill our theatres, managed by Jewish managers, who hire Jewish artists to perform the works of JewiBh authors and Whereas, Wo find political and financial trusts confided to Jewish hands, while JewB practice at tho bar, sit on our bench, edit our newspapers and, flourishing in whatever walk of life they may select, vulgarly flaunt their prosperity in our very faces, adding the insult of ostentatious display to tho injury we sustain by tholr successful competition therefore be it Resolved, That we deem it of vital importance to take immediate and effective measures to check tho growth of Jewish influence among us. and to this end we do, one and all, solemnly agree to bind ourselves by the declaration of principles here laid down.

Resolved, That we deeply rogrot the inroads that the Jews have made upon tho domains of music and the drama, aud, for tho purpose of checking them, we pledge ourselves to attend no theatre or opera where Jewleh composers or artiets aro oncouragea. We will not in any way help to support the successors of the Jewish aotors, Rachel, Levlnskl, Davidson and Schneider. We will attend no performances In which the Jows Sarah Bernhardt or Rose Eytinge take part. We will not go to see Adelaide Nelleon, because she has the Jew Stra kosoh for her manager. We will not go to hear Almee, because Bhe haB the Jew Grau for her manager.

We Will not attend Wallack'a Theatre, because Waliack is of Jewish descont and his treasurer, Theodore Moss, is a Jew. We will attend no oporatlo or other musical entertainments at wblch there are played any compositions of the Jews Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer, Helevi, Offenbach or Strauss, or at which the Jews Joachim, Ru benBtein, Wieniawski, Lucca, Hellbronn or Levy are permitted to appear. Wo will attend no church where Psalms of the Jew David are sung or where any Jewish compositions are played. jiesoitea, xnai we wiu not reoa or in any way encourage tho sale of tho works of the Jews Disraeli, Agullar, Auerbach, Ooldschmidt, Komport, Heine, Rothschild, Lazarus or Farjeon. Wo will not read the Hew l'ork Urrald, because of its proprietor's connection with the Jow Levy, of tho Iondon Daily Telegraph.

We will not read tho Home Journal becauso It Is edited by obnoxious Jew. We will not take or read the Examiner, edited by tho Jow D'Avigdor. or the nineteenth Century, which numbers among Its contributors the Jews Monteaore snd Adler. Nor will we support or in any way encourage tho sale or circulation of any of the periodicals kept by the Jew Brentano. Resolved, That for the purpose of discouraging Jewish intrusion into the realms of art.

we will abstain from reading Harper's Weekly, while it Is Illustrated by tho Jews Nost, Woolf, and Eytinge, that we wiii buy no photographs taken by the Jew Barony, nor any paintings, by the Jews Isiaels, Verveer, Mayer, Hyneman, Marks or Hart. We are opposed to the acceptance by the United States Government of the statue of liberty the Jew EzekleL We sre opposed to sending our children to schools where Dion's maps and charts are used Resolved, That In order to discourage tho Intrusion of Jews Into all branches of business to the detriment of truly Christian Interests, we will not countenance or support in any way tho Real Estate Trust Company which has among its directors the Jews Beligman, Wal lach, Thalmeaainger, Bosenbsum and Josepbthal, or the Equitable Life Insurance Company, which has the Jew Sellgman for a director, or the Mutual Life Insurance Company, which has the Jew May for a director. We will not ride on the Cross Town Bailroad, which is managed by the Jew May, nor will we ride on any railroad which has Jewish directors. Finally, wo will not subscribe to any United States Loan as long as Jews Beligman fz Company, and Belmont, aro permitted to remain In the Syndicate. Resolved.

That Jews must be excluded from all first class society. We call upon the Union League Club to expel the Jews Sellgman snd Enstein from among their members, upon the Union Club to expel the Jews Nathan and Florence, upon the Manhattan Club to expel the Jews Hart and Myers, and upon the Lotos, Now York, Press and other clubs to cast out their Jewish members, Jews must not be admitted to Long Branch; let tho oottages of the Beligmans, Btembergers, Moss and others be torn down. Let the chief streot of Newport named after the Jew Touro ba rechristened, and let Christian be cleansed of this people. Itesolced, That in the opinion of this society the constant awarding of prizes to Jowish pupils in our public schools, the small proportion of Jews In the jails (while thoy number one tenth of the population of New York they contribute less than one per cent, to the criminal classes), their boasted Immunity from contagious diseases, their proverbial sobriety and law abiding reputation have served to increase their natural pride of race an unbearable degree. We believe their reputation learning, health and domestic virtue has been purchased by bribery, and we denounoe the Sun especially selling out to our natural enemies, the Jews, an act treachery which was sufficiently proved by the linn's recent article on "Jews In Publio Schools" and by its boast that "a man might as well oppose Niagara or the Mississippi or the Hudson as to brace himself against theJews.7' Resolved, That the severest measures are needed to destroy tho blighting effects of tho ever increasinn Jewish Influence all over the world, and, therefore, we opposed to tho enforcement of Article of the Treaty of Berlin, guaranteeing the Jews of Boumanl equal rights with Christians, We are unalterably op posed to the further emancipation of the Jewish people, we appeal to all Christian people to aid us in re storina the Ghetto, the Inquisition and their sgendea the extermination of the Jews.

Resolved. That we will no longer encourage the Jews readhur their Bible. We renndlate the Old Testa ment in toto, we refuse any longer to accept the Ten Commandments given by the Jew, Moses, and we pledge ourselves not to attend any church where the name of the Jew, Jesus Christ, is mentioned. With perfect confidence in the righteousness 'of our canon, we invoke the hearty co operation of all chris in this our holy crusade against the Jewish people, and we pledge ourselved to spare no effort to remand them to ths condition that they were la daring miaaje ages, or uunuuv uiciu miany. These resolutions were adopted unanimously, and Corbln.

One of the Supposed Assassins of Professor Panormo in Baymond Street Jail A Struggle with DetectiYe Price. This morning before Justice Fisher, in the Third District Court, John Carmody, "aliat the Kid," one of the supposed murderers of Panormo, tho moats teacher, was arraigned on a charge of burglary. Carmody la about yeara of age. When Panormo was murdered eight yean ago, on the corner of Park avenue and Oxford street; Carmody, together with Tim Finnan, Teddy MoLougblin and Benny Taff was arrested by Detective Oorr, on suspicion of participation in the crime. UoLoughlin is now serving a term of seventeen years in Danamara Prison for garrot ing; Finnan is serving eight years in Trenton Jail for burglary, Taff is wanted by tho officers of the Fourth Precinct, for highway robbery, and Carmody waa arrested yesterday, after a violent struggle with Detective Prioe.

The charge on whloh he was arralgnod this morning waa that of robbing the residenee of Joseph Farrell, No. 149 Myrtle avenue, on the 16th Inst. A gold neoklaoo, napkin rings and other articles, In all valued at about $25, were on that day taken from Far rail's residence.

Josie Farrell, RECOGNIZED OABMODY as he was passing through the hallway.

Hal an hour af tor Carmody was arrested on Waverly avenue, by Detective Price, as a suspicious character. Price told Carmody that Captain MoLanghiin wanted to see him, and made a request that he go to tho station house as quietly and quickly as possible. Carmody took from his pocket a silver napkin ring, placed it in a handkerchief and was in the act of bringing it to bear on Price's head, when the latter knocked him into the gutter. Fulling out his piBtol Price then caught Carmody by the collar, handcuffed him and took him to the station house. This morning before Judge Fisher tho napkin ring found on Carmody was identified by Mr, Farrell as belonging to him, his name being engraved upon it, and by other marks, ho being able to recognize it as his proporty.

Several witnesses were placod on tho stand, and the prisoner was remanded to jail. In the Spring of 1874 Carmody was arrested by Detective Corr on the charge of murdering Professor Panormo. Tim Finnen was arrested at the same timo, The men were kept in close oustody, and efforts were made to extort a confession from thorn, but they refused to "squeal," and were discharged. The police authorities are firm in tho belief that both Finnen and Carmody had a hand in the tragedy, but they have never been able to prove it. Carmody has tho reputa tion of being one of the most skillful safe burglars in the country.

YELLOW FEVER. No New Oases Brooklyn, in The Health Authorities Vigilant. Dr. Vanderpoel's Reply. The premises No.

48 Colombia place, where Manning, the victim of yellow fever, died on Tuesday, were thoroughly disinfected yesterday by sanitary offi cers, the tenants having been moved out so that the precautionary measures might be more effectively carried out. Tho occupants, who spent the day with their friends in various parts of the city, moved bock again in the evening. No fresh oase of sickness has appeared among them, and Mrs. Manning, who was feeling unwell yesterday, is reported much better this morning. Dr.

Thomas Baylis, Sanitary Inspector, yesterday afternoon went to the house and found that tho disinfecting operations had been oarof ully carried out, and that everything possible of a precautionary nature had been done to prevent tho sproad of the much dreaded malady. The neighborhood has not yet recov ered from the shook into which Manning's death threw them, and many of the poor people are seriously alarm ed, and would move elsewhere oould they afford to do so. The announcement this morning In a New York papor that Bartholomew McKohn, a shipmate of Man ning, was LYING SIOK WITH YELLOW FBVZB at No. 08 Hick Btreet, tended to lncreaeo tho excitement and panlo which had been considerably allayed by the reassuring declarations from the health officials. The facts are that McKohn did belong to the steamer City of Merida that like Manning he was a fireman and worked on board during the prevalence of yellow fever.

He hsd also been sick and confined to bis house since Sunday. Here, fortunately, the parallel in tho two cases oeases, for Dr. Nelson 8. Drake, the attendant physician, called yesterday at tho Health Department, and assured Dr. Crane that the symptoms In no respoot resembled yellow fever, and he promised that juat as soon as any symptoms appeared which might lead him to come te a different conclusion he would notify the Board of Health.

As he has not done so it is sufficient proof that there is no causo for alarm in the oase of McKohn. Sanitary SuperintendontBaymondlnformeda reporter of the Eaolb this afternoon that he did not know any more about the case than had been communi cated to him by Dr. Drake but that ho had sent an In spector to day. to make an offiolol Investigation.

THE BEIO BAH MIOTOL, whloh Health Offioor Vandorpoel aUowed to come up'to the Brooklyn shore, was this morning removed from her anchorage in the river, off the foot of Bridge street, in accordance with the firm demand on the part of the Health authorities that auoh aotlon Bhould be taken. The law, it is claimed, is speoifto that no suspected vos sel will be allowed to approach a dook In the city with out the oonsent of tho Mayor or Board of Aldermen. In the case of the San Miguel no such consent was asked for or given. DB.

VANDEBPOEL'S BEPTjY. Dr. Vandorpoel has mode the following reply to Mr. La Fctra's letter on this subject, published this morn ing Health Omtioeb's Depabtment, 1 Quabahtine, July 23, 1879. H.

A. Jja Fetra, Secretary Brooklyn Board of aeaun; Deab Sib I have received tho communication of the Board of July '11, relative to my permission to the brig San Miguel to proceed to the city for necessary repairs. My action was taken after duo deliberation, and I havo nothing to retract In the premises. Everything which sanitary precaution suggested, comity to the Board of Health called for or requirement of law exacted, waa fully carried out. I thought then, as I think now, there was not the least danger if the precautions were ul nuea, ana 1 nounea tne uoara long twrore tne vessel reached there that euoh action as they deemed propor might be taken.

They had but to order the vessel from the dock and notify me to that effect. Such cotton would not have required prolonged consideration nor the voluminous communication sent. The imputation that I regarded her dangerous because the hatches were directed to be closed, and that I unnecessarily exposed the population of two cities is wholly gratuitous. Probably not one vessel in ten coming from a port having transmissible disease is so infected. Precautionary measures are.

however, taken with alb Except from the fact that the vessel came from Havana, there was not the slightest reason to suppose her infected. She had not had a trace of sickness during her stay at Havana, nor during the voyage of twelve days hither. She bad boen thoroughly cleaned and aired, had very little cargo as ballast, had been fumigated twice. Still, I made requirements which, had she boen over so much infected, would prevent the disease from being imparted. The Board directs you to call my attention to section 37 of the Laws of 1803, and state that its provisions have never been observed.

This statement is not correct, and I regret to learn the Board has so little knowledge of papers constantly passing through its hands. No vessel is given a permit from Quarantine withoutlts being stated she discharged there, and further, that the permit is not valid unless approved by the Commissioners of Quarantine. If the board chooses to accept Irregular permits, the onus must not be laid to the Health Officer. He does not send the vessel to dock except by courtesy. The health authorities cannot any time compel of the vessel the requirements of the law.

They do not allow a vessel to discharge a cargo until tho permit of the Health Officer has been changed for that of the board, much more a vessel unladen, when the permit states expressly that has been discharged in Quarantine. If the board does not know when a vessel is from Quarantine the remissness is not with the Health Officer. Respectfully yours, S. O. Vahdebpoel, Health Officer of the port.

Xhe Pestilence in the South. ClKOINMATI, July 24. Special dispatches from the South have the following Three cases of yellow fever are reported at Bon Aqua Springs, Tennessee, to which point many Memphis people fled among others, Lieutenant Robort Dowdy, V. who is now down with the fever. Efforts are progressing to select a camp for indigent people, seven or eight miles from Memphis.

Those going to it will be fed and provided for. Under no circumstances will rations be issued to people in the city. Numerous rough looking plantation hands continue arrive In the city fn search of free rations, and advices from plantations twenty luiles awayreport that the negroes are openly saying they will go to Memphis plunder and enrich themselves. From the present outlook it is Joublfurif there will be able bodied men enough in the city in two weeks to protect property against pillagers. Very few of those who remained through last year's siege are to be seen in the city now.

Although the total number of fever cases reported Is only ninety, it is known that others Biok have not been included, owing to the mildness of the attack. It is generally believed that all liable to the malady will suffer before the Summer ends, but the indications are that it will be of a less violent type than any heretofore experienced. In several families where all have been down, none have died. The steamer, Belle Memphis, arrived quietly in the night, unloaded her cargo and started back for St. Louis, not carrying any one away, Mbhphis, July 24.

The condition of his Honor Mayor Howell is such that he will not be able to return to active duty for several weeks at least. He will leave town when suffi ciently recovered to move, whloh may bo by the end of the week. What will be his destination is not known, In anticipation of his departure, he has requested President Bay of the Board of Aldermen to act as Mayor now and during his further absence. This morning, Mr. Bice, the Mayor's Secretary, sent the following note to Mr.

Bay: Julr 24. 1870. Bon. William B.

Ho has in structed megto request you to discharge these duties for a vune, ana untu no snail nna niineoir, aoie again to en ter upon tneir aiscnargo. very truly yours, oeohoe kioe, Mayors aeoretary. President Ray arrived at the City Hall at noon, but did not go to the Mayor's office. It was given out that he did not Intend to act. The story created a great deal of surprise, in view of the fact that only a fortnight ago Bay was burning to act as Mayor, and actually took pos session of the Mayor's chair.

An Eagle reporter Baw the President, who Baid that he had not yet made up his mind whether he should act or not he had the matter under advisement. He did not think that his business would permit him to devote the usual hours, from nine to one o'clook, to the Mayor's office. The head of his firm was in Europe, and the business required his (Bay's) personal atten tion. Furthermore (and this seemed to stick in the President's orop), he had received a notice only from the Mayor's clerk, and did not think he had been noti fied in the propor way. Ray apparently wanted the Mayor, who is confined to his bed by severe illness, to send him an autograph letter entreating him to act as Chief Magistrate.

There was an impression in certain quarters that Ray's heal tatlon was due to a feeling that if he should go in tho office ho would feel bound not to take any Improper ad vantage of Mr. Howell's absence. The job two weeks ago waa to have him aot as Mayor, call a special meet ing of the Board of Aldermen, and Bond in nominations whloh would be confirmed. Since then there has been change In Aldermanic feeling on the subject, and onough Republicans and Democrats to prevent the car rying out of any such a scheme have sent assurances to the Mayor that no improper advantage would be taken of his absence. Thls'oharge, or insinuation, against Bay, therefore, may be unfounded and unjust.

Ho may simply be standing out on a point of official etiquette with a man who is too feeble almost to handle a pen. The charter requires the President of the Board of Aldermen to act as Mayor in the absence of the Chief Magistrate, and Bay having been duly notified, must act or violate the charter so tho people about the Hall argued to day. BAT ACTS. President Ray subsequently consented to act, and signed number of warrants. Ho said lis would boat the office to morrow.

Ho was in tho office about ten minutes this afternoon, and left to attend the funeral of David Williams. FUNERAL OF DAVID WILLIAMS. The funeral of David Williams, late President of the Department of Fire and Buildings, took place this afternoon at 2 o'clock, from No. 1,489 Pacific street.

D. Henry Miller, D. of the Noble street Baptist Church, which Mr, Williams attend ed for a number of years. Dr, Miller delivered a fooling address, and at the close of the exorcisoa tho remains wore romovod to Greenwood, followed by 8 large ooncourae of mourners. ACTION OF THE ASSESSORS.

An Eaole reporter saw Sheriff Riley this afternoon at his office in reference to the second escape Porter and Irving, the particulars of which are given another column of this paper. The Sheriff said "I nave hardly anything to say on the matter, and for reasons which are best known to myself. Of course I have been doing all that I could, Bines the men got away, to rooapturo them. I was near doing it on Wednesday morning, and all that I can say about the failure Is, that it was not due to any fault of mine. It would be unpleasant for me to say whore tho blame rests.

I don't care to do so, although I am perfectly clear upon that point," Reporter But, Sheriff, it is stated that you actually Baw Porter and Irving in Fassalo, on Tuesday night. Sheriff Riley That is all boBh and allow me to say right hero, that two thirds of the matter published by New York papers is untrue, and utterly without any foundation in fact. Precisely how much of it is untrue I not in a position to tell. I have been doing everything In my power to effect a capture what efforts I have made, in what direction I have labored, what steps have taken or may take, I do not propose to make public When I get these men, as I am satisfied I can, then shall be perfectly satisfied to tell all and I shall have a very interesting story to tell too, but until such time, the papers may state just what they please, and if I am misrepresented I can't help it. Now, how absurd this story Is about my having seon either of these men.

If had done so you may rest assured that if I couldn't havo got the man I'd have had a part of him. The whole trouble was that I dared not go near where they were for fear of being recognized by thorn. If I had been seen, of course we should have had no chance atalL Reporter To whom, then, do you attribute the blame this failure? Sheriff Riley As I said before, I am perfectly clear to where tho blame rests, but I do not dCBiro to say anything on that subject, I am the person who is tho moat injured in the transaction, and all I can say Is that does not rest upon me by a long shot.

This the Trouble To the Editor of the Brooklyn Bogle; Porhaps you would like to hear from one who, though numbering soveral Jews among those whom he is proud to call friends, thinks the complaint of selfish and discourteous behavior made against many Jews by Manager Corbln is not groundless. It is hardly necessary to repeat what is not denied bv anr ration al observer, that the cultivated Jew, or female, has no superior In tho world. The question is whether the uncultured do not make themselves offoniive to a degree muoh beyond that reached by any considerable number of any of the other peopla. with whom wo are farnlUar in this country? To meet this question by charging those who raise it with race or religious prejudice, is, in my humble Judgment, absurd. I believe the explanation of certain Jewish characteristics that are offensive is to be found first in the history of the peo Sle and seoond in the neglect of the educated mem rs of the race to impress the fact upon the leaa fortunate members of it that times hare changed.

For centuries the Jew had no rights that any Christian felt bound to respect. Clannishness was forced npon him. Not havhur atrfimrth ta uuuirt hia rltrht his h.i tt sort to cunning and deception. Wherever he went, ho was in danger of getting less than he waa entitled to, and It disposed to bear himself humbly, he was sure to be trodden on. The long and abominable treatment of tho race by tho Christians developed characteristics whloh, when shown in modern society, are offensive.

The cultivated Jew has outgrown the defecemont which oppression made. He feels that the old rancor no longer oilsta, and that in the company of civilized people no question of Jew or Gentile Is over raised. But the humbler Jew has to be taught all this. He has Inherited a traditional diBtrust and hatred of the Christian, coupled with the belief that what he docs not grab he will not get, and tho educated mon of his blood havo not, I fear, done their duty in tho way of making him understand the true state of modern society. Perhaps it would bo better to say not that the Jow is offensive, but that the effects of oppression as they appear In him are.

THE JAIL JOB. The to Investigating Committee Report this Afternoon. What their Conclusions are Said to be. Some of the Charges of the Greenback Labor Advocates Admitted The Report to Contain no Recommendations. At the meeting of tho Board of Supervisors, this afternoon, the Jail Committee will present a roport upon their investigation Into the charges to the effect that the contract for the construotlon of the now wing has not boon compllod with.

The communication in which these charges were embraced is as follows the charges. Greenback I.adou Cxntuat. Committee. To the Honorable the Heard of Siqirrvifors of Kittys County Gentlemen Whereas, The Board of Supervisors, last December, entered Into a contract with Freel McNames, for the construction of a new wing of the County Jail, according to the plans and specifications previously adopted; and Whereas, The said BpecifioatlonB have been changed since tho said contract was made, so as to suit tho convenience and economy of said contractors, and to tho detrimont of the county, Involving largo amounts in said changes; We therefore respectfully petition your Honorable Body to aonolnt a snealal commltteo to Investigate the above (whloh can be proven by a committoe of this oouncilj, and ascertain why the present Jail Committee should be guilty of the ludlctabfe offense of permitting this oulpable change and allowing the contractors to be paid without a propor compliance with their contract. Tho undersigned committee are prepared to prove the following specifications First The specifications on whloh the estimates wero made required that the outting of all the granite should be done lq Kings County, thus giving employment to a large and deserving number of mon who aro themselves taxpayers and out of employment, whilo the stone is now being cut In ths Stato of Maine, and aonio now being received there ready cut Second That nine hundred and sixty stone sills and Ilntela, Which were to be granite, are substituted by oast Iron, at tbe instigation of the contractors, and in their interest the item of said sills and lintols amounting to nearly $9,000.

Third That the ashlars lu the body of the building, which were to be of Greenwich gneiss stone, face cut, and evory third stone a binder, to extend through tho wall, and more bed than build, aro now substituted by three granite slabs, face not cut and less bed than build, In violation of the specifications under whloh the con tract was consummatoa. Respectfully submitted, Pxtf.b Nowlan, 577 Court street, Matthkw Maouibe, Front street, Committee. The testimony taken in support and contravention of these charges has already been published in substance in those columns. In their report the committee will intimate that the first specification of tho charge Is well based that the contractors admit tbst all of the stone Is not being cut In Kings County, as called for in the specifications. An attempt, howover, will bo mado to justify tho contractors for this violation on the ground that a sufficient number of Brooklyn stone cutters could not be obtained to complete tho work within tho specified tune.

The contractora aver that they have given employment to Brooklyn workmen whenever they applied for It. The change charged In the second specification is not denied, but that it was made In any Interest other than that of ths oounty Is not admitted. The report will set forth Ithat a consultation with the Yale Lock Company brought to light the fact that a much better Job could be made by using Iron sills snd ilntela instead of stone, and will also claim that ths cost of furnishing either would hare been ABOUT IDENTICAL, so that the contractor was not benefited. The use of granite Instead of gneiss, referred to In the third specification, was admitted and justified by tho specifics tlona which are said to provide tor tho use of Greenwich gneiss or other stone of equal quality. Granite, it is churned, Is easily equal to Greenwich gneiss stone, Tho failure to out the face Is excused on the ground that it would not hold plaster If It was trimmed, and the failure to run tho binders clear through ths wall is Justified on the ground that there is no necessity for having them do so.

Allusion will be made to the fact that Mr. James Rodwell and Mr. William Lamb indorsed tho quality of tho work so far as the binders are concerned. The report will contain no recommendations whatever, simply commenting on the character of the asking to be discharged from further consideration of the subject. THE JOHN COtNE ASSOCIATION.

FURIOUS FAGAN The Terror of the Sixth Out. Ward Badly Iaid An Old Offender's Unlucky Mldnignt Experience Ed jpgan Before Justice Ferry. The notorious Ed.

Fagan, of the Sixth Ward, who for years was the terror of tho South Brook lyn river front, was badly laid out, last night. It seemB that he was wanted in Justice Ferry's Court, yeBterday morning, to explain how a boat, which had been stolon from the Atlantic Dock basin, had come into his possess ion, but for some reason he failed to turn up, and Justice Ferry gave instructions to his court officers to hun hlm up at all costs. Ed. knew that the officers were after him, and all day kept away from his home at No. 65 Columbia street, and managed to conceal himself in some liquor stores in Bed Hook Point.

The beverages which are disposed of in that locality are generally above proof, and are said to have a highly inspiriting effect. It was evident that they hod their legitimate result on or when he staggered out of a pestilential gin mill In Hamilton avenue, he assumed the savage air which is cbaraoteristie of him when in his cups. He had no longer any fears of the policeman or Indeed of any other man before his eyes, and raised one of hlB war whoops, which years ago used to throw the lower part of tho Sixth Ward into consternation. The hour being late It was In the neighborhood of ono o'clock Fagan had the street to himself, and encountered no opposi tion until he had reached the corner of Degraw and Van Brunt streets, where Patrick Doyle's liquor store is Bltuated. The bartender waa in the act of oloslng up the store, when Fagan came up and burst In the door.

In loud tones he demanded a drink, whloh the bar tender refused to give him. Fagan at onco began a desperate attack on two men named W. W. Ellis, a nlghtwatohnian at Hazeltlne's stores, who was attracted to the placo by the loud noise, and James Gllleese, of No. 07 Harrison streot.

For once In his life the rowdy reckoned without his host, for in a few moments he received THE HANDSOMEST DRUBBING" HE EVER MET WITH in his life. Ellis Is a strong, powerful follow, and the manner in which he handled Fagan was beautiful to witness. The champion of a hundred fights was fairly beaten to a jelly his head was cut and bruised and his eyes had almost disappeared amid the swollen flesh, whloh a pair of hard knuckles had raised around them, and one of his ears hung down, as if it had a serious inclination to drop off. At lost tho ruffian bogged for mercy, but he was held in the tight grasp of his antagonist until Officer Culten, of tho Butler street sta tion, reached the scene. When all the parties were takon to tho station house, Sergeant RoUett, who was on duty at tho time, failed to recognize the chief culprit, although be had arrested him scores of times during his connection with tho police department.

Tho parties made counter com plaints and the sergeant concluded to hold them all till morning. Fagan was sent to the Long Island College Hospital and received the medloal attention of whloh he was so muoh in need. This morning he appeared before Justice Ferry, with a terrible head on him, and mado a complaint against Ellis, charging him with having bitten a portion of his oar off. A Blmplo charge of assault and battery was made against Gllleese. Fagan himself was charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct and committed for ten days, at tho termination of which he will be arraigned for grand lar ceny, in oonneotlon with the boat, to which reference has been made.

Tho other two prisoners, who seem to have acted in self defonBe in tho matter, were admitted to bail. Fagan has been in more trouble, perhaps, than any other man in Brooklyn. He has been arrested over one hundred times for various offenses, small and great, and he served one term of four years and a half for snooting a man. CAPTURED. Frank Belmont, One of the Queens County Jail Breakers An Exciting Cuase The Scoundrel Fires Two Shots at the Officer.

About a quarter to two o'clock this morning, as Officer Hosb, of the Tenth Precinct, New York, was doing patrol duty in Bivington street, he saw a fellow come out of a beer saloon whom at first glanoe he thought to be Frank Belmont, one of the five prisoners who escaped from the Queens County Jail, st Long iBland City, about three weeks ago. Officer Hess stepped quickly forward to get a better look at the man. When the latter, without looking one side or the other, started off at the top of his speed down Bivington street. Feeling assured now that he was right in his first impression, Officer Hess gave chase, rapping loudly for assistance as he ran. The fugitive finally turned and darted the First avenne dodging this way and that, thereby hoping to evade the officer.

Hess, however, kept his man constantly in view. During tho run up the First avenue the fellow turned twice and ITBED TWO SHOTS AT THE OITCOEB, who, unmindful of the bullets that whizzed noar his head, still kept up tho pursuit, and after a further run two blocks more pounoed upon bis man. The officer levelled his revolver at the fellow which brought him to terms. He was taken to the Tenth Precinct Station House and there recognized as Frank Beunont alias Frank Bennett, alias John Anderson, alias Dutch Fred, woll known burglar and ono of the men who escaped from the Queens County Jail. Belmont was convioted of burglary and was under sentence of five years at hard labor, Some weeks ago with four other men, one of whom was under sentence twenty years and another of fifteen years, he BEOKE JAIL and has since been at large.

Dlsbrow, of Queens County; since the Jail delivery has vainly searched for the prisoners. This morning Beunont waa arralgnod before Justice Blxby, at the Essex Market Police Court, his Honor directed the officer to return the prisoner to Sheriff DiBbrow. After showing up the burglar at Police Headquarters, Officer Hess, with Belmont handenffea and himself, started for the Queens County Jail. Beunont was sent bock to the Queens County Jail at noonj.day. It was he.

in fact, who had led the recent escape. Bis presence in Mew York waa ofeing. tb the fact that his mistress uvea in tne city, us cams irom new oeisey see her. He save the bar of the Jail window was cut by his riendB in a single night. A coach was waiting to re ceive him.

Hetook Walters with and they orossed Grand street Ferry and were driven to Jersey. His miBtress planned the whole affair. He was permitted telegraph for her, then Sheriff RuBhmore hurried him off to Sine Sum on tho 2 o'clock train. Officers have gone to Jersey after Walters. What Batterby Says Abont the Queens County Jail, The Committee of tho Queens County Board Supervisors, having in' charge the Investigation of recent escape of prisoners from the Queens County Jail, went to Sing Sing Prison yesterday, and examined William Batterby.

Batterby was one of the men who escaped. He was convicted of a burglary at Wood haven, and sentenced to ten years' imprisonment at hard labor. H1b brother was convicted of complicity the same robbery, and sentenced to five years' im prisonment. William is at work in the shoe shop, and brother is in the laundry. Batterby testified that the filing of the bar was done men from the outside.

They were friends of Bol inopi, The day before they escaped Belmont'swif was into the corridor of toS jail converse with htm. Turnkey Eldridge made it the practice to have one prisoner act as keener of the others during the dav. thus giving each prisoner an occasional day in tho corridor. The prisoners played the dodge of how not to look the cells on Eldridge every day. The one on duty would spring the but the doors would not be closed tight enough to receive the bolt, and when Fldridge would away they would return to the corridor.

On the day the escape it was Belmont's turn to be keeper. Eldridge told him to look the men in their cells at eight o'clock, bnt he; did not do it. Belmont's cell was allowed to be open all day, and when locking up time came, Walters, Batterby and Shaw slipped into ma cell, Eldridge did not know but Oat they were in their own cells. When he heard the bar. pulled and the looks went away.

Bushmore was more careful than Eldridge. He would insist upon hearing each padlock Snapped. When he looked in at the cell door bof ore he started for Rockaway on the day of the escape, all of pnmmerB were ui ottuuuiii'B ceu except Batteroy, Who hid under the water tank, where Bushmore could see him. Had he gone Into the corridor he would have discovered the game which they were playing. Bushmore Seldom visited the jail during the day, but frequently, around during the sight.

Belmont crawled out first, Batterby seoond, Walters third and Shaw last. They were not far ahead of Wilkinson and Officer Parks, who went in pursuit, at the time that the acaident happened which ended the chase, OTHEB CONVICTS. While st Sing Sing the Supervisors inquired into the condition or prisoners from their respective localities. Thomas Magulrfc and James Larkin, of Jamaica, were sentenced for burglary in the first degree last March, former for fifteen years, And the latter for tea years. Maguirk is employed in the stove foundry.

Larkin is lnaane, and at present is in the asylum at Auburn. The of Larkin was one of the most remarkable ever witnessed in the county. There was very grave question as to his guilt, and for three hours the jury stood seven for acquittal. Then a compromise was proposed, threat having been made to keep them looked up all night.
