Martin, Colonel Paine set the main bridge cable in motion this morning at an early hour, and Engineer Martin ran over to New York on ono of tho locomotives to seo that tho auxiliary wires wore working well after some recent alterations. Mr. Martin discovered no defects either in tho cables or the switches in bis Investigations, so that the only thing that now claims tho attention of the engineers is the puzzling grip. Colonel Paine Informed a reporter this morning that he expected three now grips to day, and if thoy arrived it would only take about ono hour to get them into place. If these grips are attached to day six cars will then bo provided with them and this number, the Colonel thinks, is sufficient to begin business with.

Tho grips are easily enough attached to tho cars, bnt when they are delivered very often adefect or flaw is discovered, so that they have to bo sent back to tho machinists and altered. Mon aro busy night and day manufacturing tho grips, so that in a day or two the full number ordered will be supplied. Tho incline railroad lor running the bridge cars from tho street on to tho traok will bo finished to day or to morrow, but Colonel Paino says that owing to the lack of space jUBt now afforded in tho station he does not thluk that tho remainder of the rolling stock wul bo railed until business demands it. Thore is a sufficient number of cars at tho Brooklyn terminus to opon the railroad with, and as travel increases tho new cars can bo ordered To tno Irish Nationalists of tbe United Slates. At a late hour this afternoon a copy of an address was issned by John Dovoy to tha Irish Nationalists of the United States.

In it Mr. Dovoy seeks to exculpate himself from any responsibility in connection with the treachery and escape of James MoDermott ana his confederteB reviews the statement In the agl.b mado by Patrick O'Grady, in the form of an affidavit, and proceeds from his own standpoint to giT the local application of McDormott's alleged treachery. The lateness of tho hour at which tho address waB received precludes its publication in full in the Eaolb of to day. A BLAZE ON FULTON STREET. Quick Work Done by the Firemen.

Will the Road be Completed 1 The stockholders of the Bruff road met again this afternoon at the offico of Mr. Lauterbach, on William street, New York, Tho meeting was held with closed doors.

Mr. Lauterbach again urged tho necessity of pushing tho project forward as rapidly as possiblo, and in a conversation with an Eaole reporter said: "I am about going out of town for a short time, and to day's meeting of tho stockholders is tbe last which will bo held in perhaps two months or more. I am sorry to say very little progress toward tho Btarting of the schemo has been mado thus far through our meet ings. II tho stockholders had etiown mora interest in the matter work on the road might now bo in progrcsB. During my abseuco in the country very little if any thing will be done," "What was tho nature of to day's meeting?" "Simply a friendly talk among tho stockholders.

Thoy do not seem to bo in a position to get down to absolute work, and I b1ir11 let tho matter rest until I return from tho country." How long do you expect to bo gono "About a week or ton doys. Immediately on my re turn I shall call another meeting of tho stockholders End especially request a full attendance. Tho meeting will probably tako placo about the 15th of September, and I hopo it will result in something definite. This continual delay will make It moro and inoro difficult to carrying out the finishing of the road. Tho public will begin to think wo aro anything but in earnest if wo do not accomplish something pretty Boon," THE STOCKHOLDERS' APATHT.

"I havo great confidence iu the feasibility of finishing tho Bruff road, and there aro a fow of tho stockholders who ahare my faith in tho enterprise, although some of them are but lukewarm and win have to be won over." "How many pooplo will bo interested in fiuishin the road, if tho work is ovor carried through 7" cannot at present givo you even the number of thoso interested in tho scheme. I shall bo happy, however, to givo tho press a list of tho active peoplo in tho schomo as soon as I find the road is going to bo pushed to completion." "Is thero any truth in tho report that a weanny Brooklyn gentleman is largely interested in the completion of tho road?" I can not at present either deny or confirm tho truth of such a report. As I Bald before wo know where to look for capital as soon as somo definite plan of action is arrived at. If I can only obtain a full attendance at tho September meeting I hopo to havo tho finishing of tho road under way soon. If the September meeting IS NOT SUCCESSFUL.

I Bhtdl begin to bo discouraged, and am much afraid those we look to for tho greatest amount of help will also become discouraged. If you will call and seo mo about tho middle of noxt month I shall possibly be in a position to lot tho public know Just what thestock bolders desiro to do in tho matter. I havo put yon off so frequently with tho sauio remark that I could not blame you for being discouraged, but I am as impatient to bo able to give you definite news regarding tho road as tho public probably is to receive it. I am off for tho country this evening, and leave all rapid transit schemos behind mo for a brief period, but I hopa you will call as soon as I return, as I am always happy to givo the press all the information I can justly let it have," concluded Mr. Lauterbach.

Judge Barnard Present as a Witness for the Defendant A Dispute About the Ac enracy of the Testimony The Attorney General Decides Not to Present New Charges at the Present Time. Special to tho Eagle.

Lonq Island Orrr, August 30. Tho trial of Distriot Attorney Downing, of Queens County, on the charge of receiving bribes from tbe Desmonds in the Riley murder trial was resumed at noon to day before ox Attorney General Falrchild, tho commissioner appointed by Governor Cleveland. Mr. Downing is conducting his own defense, assisted by "Senator Covert. Attorney General Russell is conducting tho prosecution, assisted by Charles Bonner and T.

B. Mllliken. On tho previous day of the trial tho prosecution put in testimony to show that tho District Attorney hod received two Bums of $100 each by oheck from Michael Desmond, to induce him to zealously prosecute KHey, the murderer of Robert Desmond. Tho rnurdoror and tho murdered man wero brothers In law. Riloy was first indicted for manslaughter.

A jury failed to con. vlot him. After tho trial tho District Attorney had Riley indicted for murder in tho first degree. A jury convicted him of murder in tho second degree. Judge Cullon gra Riloy a new trial and then tho District Attorney let him plead guilty to manslaughter in the third degree.

THE MONEY REFUNDED. Three peoplo gare testimony bearing on the payment of money to tho District Attorney. Tho checks wero returned to Desmond, bearing tho indorsement of Downing's name, and ono of them tho additional indorsement of Samuel Johnson. Mr. Turner, Colonel Spencer's law partner, testified that tho District Attorney refunded $230 to him, and tore up Desmond's checks by which tho money had been originally paid.

Mr, Downing was a witness in his own dofonso. Ho denied that he had been paid two checks, but admitted tho receipt of ono check of $100 ho used Bomo of the money to defray tho expenses of getting witnesses for the prosecution ho admitted having paid $200 to Mr. Turner, taking his receipt for tho monoy and at the same time tearing up tho two checks. Samuel Johnson, who was tho District Attorney's clerk during the period covored by the charges, testified that the Desmonds paid him a check of $100, and he got the monoy on it. Tho Desmonds all testified that thoy never paid JohnBon a cent by check or in any other way.

Counselor Benner stated this morning that the Cltl zenB' Association had resolved to ask tho Grand Jury to indict Johnson for perjury, and Mr. Benner Baid ho would appear before tho Graud Jury with witnesses for that purpose. Mr. Bonner also said that he had addi tional charges to file against the District Attorney, but the Attorney General decided not to present them at this time. TUo Distriot Attornoy said he defied the Citizens' Association.

TO DAl's PROCEEDINGS. The Attorney General opened tho proceedings by stating that Downing and Johnson had not signed their testimony. He thought It strango, as all tho other witnesses had signed. Downing said thero wero errors in the transcript which ho wished to correct. Corrections have been mado by other witnesses, and Mr.

Covort thinks improperly. The Attorney General thought the corrections ought to be mado in the presence of the commissioner to avoid confusing tho record. Judge Barnard was in attendance as a witness for Downing. Tho Attornoy General insisted that Downing should sign his testimony before proceeding any further, and tho commissioner so decided. The work of comparing tho testimony then proceeded, and scorned likely to take tho balance of the day.

Mr. Covert was desirous of taking tho testimony of Jndgo Barnard that ho might go away, but tho Attorney General would not consent. Ho insists that tho case has boon closed as to taking testimony, and will opposo reopening tt. Mr. Downing mnde but a few corrections iu his testimony.

Tho commissioner permitted the caso to be reopened. Mr. Covort read an article in the Times stating that an attempt had been mado to bribe tho Attorney General not to conduct tho prosooutiou, and called upon tho Attorney General for a disclaimer. Ho refused to say a word. The commissioner refused to allow the newspaper articlo to go upon tho record.

D. C. McEwen, stenograph: testified that Jndgo Barnard advised tlio District Attornoy to accept Riley's plea of manslaughter. Judge Barnard testified that Mr. Covert mado motion to be permitted to plead guilty to manslaughter lu bohalf of Riloy.

Tho District Attornoy made a statement which was neither in opposition or assent, and Jndgo Barnard refused then to permit it. Later tho Judge advised tho acceptance of tho plea. Isaac Hamburgor, of Brooklyn First National Bank, testified that Samuel Johnson was a depositor in that bank. Ho deposited $100 on tlie. 19tn or Decemuoy last by check.

NOBLE'S REPLY. In replv, Mr. S. B. Noblo presented tho affidavit of his sou, 'Daniel Noblo, who acts as his clerk.

Daniel deposes that, on August 28, he returned to his father's office after being absent all the morning, and saw on his father's desk a copy of an order appointing S. B. Noblo guardian ad litem of John S. Noble, aud a copy of tUs petition which his father had already verified before him. Tho order was apparently filled in aud ready to bo Rorved, aud as deponent believed was left on the table for that purpose, both petition and order being in till! Writing of Ins younger brother, Paton, with blank spaces filled in aud another added at the bottom in tho writing of somo olio olso.

Behoving that all was right the deponout mailed it in good faith to tho plniutiOT's attorney, in the absenco of his father, together with an answer and a uotice of appearance. Papers were frequently left bv his father on his table to bo served during his absence from the office. Tho deponent never Rpoko to his father on tho subject and hoard nothing as to the invalidity of tho order, until July 10, 1883, when plaintiff applied to amend the order of refer once. On returning from court that day deponent's fathor said that Mr. Wilson had Bhown him an order appointing him guardian, and his fathor sold no order had been mado and repudiated it.

An inquiry followed, and then deponent heard for Iho first time that the paper were not in proper shape, and wero llover intended to bo served. A notice withdrawing tho papers was, then Berved. Deponent was iu the Cats kills, aud was sent for by messenger to mako this attl davit.

He copied an order appointing his father guardian and signed his father's name to it. His father told him tho copy was wrong, but it was no matter as he was not going to servo it. His father then explHincrt to him how the paper should bo filled up, at tho same time, running his poii through tho name S. B. Noblo and putting somo other rough writing on the paper.

Tho affidavit of S. B. Noblo is iu accordance with thoso of his sons, This morning Judgo Barnard filed tho following decision Tile circumstances arc sufficient to establish fraud in tho making and service of tlio order. The infant was the attornoy son. Tlio order was never obtained or entered.

Au issue was inado by an answer which tho attorney put in under it. The attorney appointed as guardian appeared at tho trial and subsequent proceedings and treated tho caso as ono represented entirely by himself and as guardian for his infant children. It was not until after thore could bo no further delay in tho foreclosure salo that tho attornoy notified tlie plaintiff of tho unreality of the ordor. Tho property foreclosed belonged to or was occupied by tlie attorney and his family. Tho motion is granted.

The Caw Affecting Cases of Intoxication Attention has recently been called to tho laws affecting the jurisdiction of Justices of tho peace, in matters pertaining to tlio Excise law. So many changes havo been made in them by tho chartor and tho various amendments to it, and by enactments out side of it, that it is perhaps difficult for parties who aro not lawyers by profession to comprehend their exact nosition and the scope of their powers.

Section 718 of the same code provides, that if a justice sits as a Court of Special Sessions a jndg. mout may bo rendered that a defendant pay a fine not exceeding $10 or bo imprisoned until tho lino is paid, specifying ono aay'B imprisonment for each dollar of tho fine imposed. Tha Coda of Penal Procedure, section 723.

Tlio Coney Island Hackmen. Chief Justice Barnard has banded down a decision with reference to tho Conoy Island hackmon against the Surf avenuo Stage Company.

Tho company claimed tho exclusive right to tako up and set down passengers on tho roadway from the Coney Island concourse to tho Brighton Beach Railroad station, but several hackincn did tho Bamo thing, so tho company brought an action against them. Justico Barnard's decision in favor of the defendants is as follows It was not the design of tho injunction heretofore grantod to prevent the hackmen from conveyiug pas scngcrs over the opeu road to tho railroad station, evon if tlie Bamo was a private road The company ara bound to provido access for their Btation and they have done so. It has tho right to prevent any person from soliciting passengers there and from stopping upon it, except so far 83 is necessary to receive or deliver passengeni. Tlie same right exists in reference to tha hotel. Tha defendant can drive hie carriage over tho road provided aud used for approach thereto, and oither let down or take up passengors.

He cannot stay alter that. Tho injunction will be modified iu all the cases to provido for this until the issues are tried. Thero is no propriety in convicting this accused person of contempt excopt for violation of the ordor as it will bo when amended if it is now otherwise, Motion to punish for contempt denied no costs.

THE THIRD AVENUE 8EWEB EXTENSION. Mr. E. T. Hunt, who represents the Hunt estate in the matter of the compromise connected with tho extension of tho Third avenue sower, called on Chief Engineer Van Duron, at the Department of City Works, this morning.

The Eagle yesterday announced that the city had agreed to pay $30,000 for tho right of way through tho Hunt property to tho bulkhead line at the foot of Forty ninth street. Thero is criticism in some quarters upon this action of the city authorities, It Doing contended that the amount is too largo. The facts, as given by one of tho city officials who was a party to the compromise, are these Mr. Hunt owns very valuable water front, running from Forty fourth street to Fifty second street. His original design was to construct a largo basin thero, enclosing all of his water front, which basin would bo of great value for warehousing purposes.

Of course, tho extension of the sewor to tho foot of Forty ninth street, involving as it would the making of tho outlet at the bulkhead line, which is 000 feet from tho shoro, would divide his property and compel him to abandon the basin schomo. He holds tho title to tho land under water to tho bulkhead line. The strcotB through his property aro only located on the city map, as being streets down to low water mark, and therefore tho city has no law that would permit it to go to work in a general way of opening streets. The question which Commissioner Hopes had to consider particularly was tho necessity of extending tho sewer as soon as possiblo, because thero wero suits which wero pending against the city Bimilar to that of Mr. Hardy, who obtained damages from tho city for injuries to his proporty arising from tho nuisance of the present outlet of the sower at tho foot of Twenty eighth street.

The damages from thesa othoe suits, ho held, might be larger than the city proposed to pay Mr. Hunt for the right of way. Tho Commissioner received assurances that if tho sower should be ox provided by a law of the late suits would be discontinued. Therefore, tho problem was whether the city should pay at once tt fair amount for the right of way, or subject the city to further litigation, which would not only bo brought by Mr. Hunt, but by tho people in tho vicinity of the foot of Twenty eighth street, and which would in all probability delay tho extension of tho sower a year or more.

After a careful study of tho matter in cvory respect, the Commissioner eoncludod it would be to the city's interest to pay Mr. Hunt $30,000. In this conclusion he was joined by Assistant Corporation CouubcI Mudgo and Chief Engineer Van Burcn. During tho conferences leading to the compromise, Mr. Hunt expressed a preference to havo tho extension of the sewer run down Fifty second street, and agreed to give tho city tho right of way through his property there for nothing.

This, ho claimed, showed that ho did not desire to bo obstinate or to obtain money from tho city unreasonably. Commissioner Ropes could not agrco to this, for two reasons. Ono was that the act provided that the outlet should bo at or near the foot of Forty uinlh street, and he did not consider that Fifty second Btrcet came within tho meaning of tho law in that regard. Again, the cost of taking tho sewer to Fifty second street, which is not so favorable a point for its discharge as the other, would ho nearly as much as the amount which Mr. Hunt is to receive.

As to the building of a dock at the foot of Forty ninth street, at a cost of $52,000, which Mr. Hnnt agreed to com promiso on, tho Commisstonorwould not entertain such a proposition. It may bo said in this connection, that leading warehouse men on tho rier front urged Mr. Hunt to remain firm in his stand, some of them contending that he should receive $10,000 or movo for granting the right of way. Mr.

Hunt is now contemplating the construction of a pier at the foot of Forty ninth street, whether a temporary one or otherwise, ho has not yet decided. Ho called on Chief Engineer Van Buren, to ascertain the dopth of water at the point where tho outlot of tho extended sewer will be mado, namely, some COO feet from the shore. Ho was informed that tho depth now was 13 feet. Tlio construction of a pier thero would necessitate considerablo dredging. Tho books at tho Assessors' ofilco show that the assessed value this year of tho blocks of the estate from Forty fourth to Fifty second streot, west of First avenue, is as follows From Forty fourth to Forty fifth street, $7,500 Forty fifth to Forty sixth, $7,200 Forty sixth to Forty sevonth, Forty seventh to Forty eighth, Forty eighth to Forty ninth, $10, 000 Forty ninth to Fiftieth, $8,000 Fiftieth to Fifty first, $8,000 Fitty first to Fifty second, $7,500.

Total, $02,500. STREET OBSTRUCTION. Dopnty City Works Commissioner Whiting, who ia acting in the temporary absence of Commissioner Hopes, was notified to day that First avenue, from Fortieth to Forty first street, was closed against travel by men who were laying oil tanks. Ho sent an iuspector down to see about it. THE NEW ENGINE FOR SMITH'S POND.

Commissioner Ropes has awarded to M. T. Davidson Co. the contract for furnishing a new pumping engine for Smith's Popd. Its capacity will bo 0,000,000 gallons daily, and the contraot price is $3,500.

Bids were also received from H. R. Worthinglon at $7,250 and the Knowlos Steam Pump Compauy at $5,100 and $0,700, ouo being for a duplox engino and tho other for a siugle engine. The ono to be furnished by Davidson Company ia similar to that now in use at Springfield Pond, which has given entire satisfaction. Tho Commissioner accepted lha Davidson bid becanso ho considered it was the best to do, all things considered.

It is agreed that tho ongine shall be furnished in forty days after tho signing of the contract. It will be used as a reserve. There is but one ongine at present at Smith's Pond, which is so important to the Bupply that tho city cannot afford to havo pumping stop thcro The quantity received daily from this source alouo varies from 4,000,000 to 7,000,000 gallons.

"You Hit IVIe and Hit You." I'll Highway Commissioner Jordmi Calls Justice Watson a Coward and Promises to "Wipe him Out of Existence" Ills Donor Refrains From Killiujr the Commissioner, but Says that he Will Fix Him Yet" What Followed the Adjourn raent of a New Lots Court. George Palmer and George Jnrdin, charged before JubiIco Watson, of Now Lots, with subornation of porjury, waived examination and gavo bonds to go bofora tho Grand Jury yesterday. The cliargo was mado on information and boliof by R. R. Wheelor.

It ia stoutly denied by both tho accused, and their frionds claim it is a job arranged by Justico Watson to ropay Palmer and Commissioner Jardin for tho action they took in tho assault caso, which compelled him to plead guilty. His action in refusing bail, as recorded iu yes terday's Eaole, is denounced on all Bides. Jardiu was put under $3,500 bonds and Palmer under $2,500. The magistrate refused to accept ex Supervisor Colyer as a bondsman altuougn ho was willing to Bwcar ho was worth $40,000. Ho accopted William.

Bounott whom ho refused to accept as bondsman the day previous. Ho took his bond for tho appearauco of Palmer, tho District Attorney having decided it was a perfectly sound bond. While the examination was in progress Commissioner Jardin, who was watching the proceedings, whispered to a friend. Justico Watson shoutod at him: "Jardin, keep your mouth shut In this court or I will havo you put out." Jardiu kapt his temper. When tho words woro pronounced, "This court stands adjourned," Jardin weut before tha magistrals audeaid, "Now this court is adjourned, it Is no moro than any other rorm, and you are only a common citizen, I propose to tell you what I think of you." And then Jardin raked WatBou's history over in a manner that delighted the bystanders.

In couclusiou he said ho would deariy lovo to givo him a thrashing'. Why don't you hit mo?" Baid tho Justico, whoso face was white with rago. LI bit you sneered Jardin. "You aro a coward. All you want mo to do Is to hit you bo you could havo inearrestod." 'I won't mako any charge against you," Bald tho Jus tico, "if you hit ma." lI know you won't," retorted tho Commissioner, "but you will got somo one to make it on Information and belief.

Oh, no; you can't fool mo. But yon just hit mo. I never mako complaints, nor havo them mado, and if I don't wipo you out of existenco you can cut off both my arms. Just hit mo eo the law will bo on my Bide aud I'll bIiow you what you got when you strike a man." Tho Justico looked at his man, a match for him in every way, and concluded that it was better to let him alone, so ho remarked that he would "Ax him yet," and walked away. THE STEAMBOAT DISASTER.

Another Probable Victim of the AccidentThe Iter, IIoivcIl Gnrdttcr I.j'ingr at the I'oiut of Death WrccKurs to Be Tin Work To ntorrotr. Tho Rev. Howell Gardner, of this city, who was badly scalded about the face and lower limbs in tho recent steamboat disaster, is lying at tho point of death in the New York Hospital. The physician in chargo says that ho will not live through tho afternoon. Tho unfortunate man was in very feeble health at the time of tha accident, and that, together with old ago, makes it almost impossible for him to pull through.

There wero no inquirios mado at tho Twentieth Precinct Station Houso, New York, to day, conccmina missing persons and it iB thought that every one has been accouuted for by this time. A largo scow was moored alongside tho wreck this morning bnt as yot no attempt lias been made to raise tho sunken vessel. It is expected that iho wreckers will be at work to morrow morning. Tlie bulkhead at tho foot of Wost Sixtconth street was thronged with a crowd of men, women and children gazing on the sceno of tho disaster. Boatmen in tho vicinity did a thriving business in hiring out boats to people who wanted to row around tho wreck.

A smoll steam launch carried passengers out and back for twonty fivo cents apiece. At low tido this morning about a foot of tho wreck could be seon above water, but as tho tido tobo toward noon it was hidden from view to tho great disappointment of tho lookers on. Tho Rov. Howell ardner, who was scalded, died in the Now York Hospital about oue o'clock to day. Ho had consciousness to the lost, and his deathbed was surrounded by his family.

THE STEAMEK BRITTANIA'S ESCAPE. tfncountcriiifr nn Oceau Cyclone, She Reaches Port almost Dismantled Her Sails and Part of Her Rigfriny Carried Ann An Account of the Storm ftlvcn by the Creiv Ono Wnn Killed and Retried at Sea. The steamship Brittauia, Captain Jauffret, from Marseilles to this porl, loaded with fruit for Seiger Brothers, New York, arrived at Prentice's Stores, In this city, yesterday. Tho vessel prosouted the appearance of a partial wreck. Her sails and part of her rigging were gono, aud her boats badly damaged.

An Eagle reporter, who visited tho dock this morning, was unablo to find Captaiu Jauffret, but from tho crow of (lie Brittauia, most of whom are Frenchmen, ho learned that tho damage to tho vessel was dono by a cyclone, wliich sho encouutored lu latitude 38 degrees, 15 minutes, and longitude 03 degrees, 10 minutes. It was the most terrific storm the Bailors had ever passed through. It occurred a llttlo aftor six o'clock on tho morning of August 25, after a very calm day and night. Tho atmosphere was heavy aud tho thermometer low during tho preceding 21 Tho Wind at that lime was southwest, and all sails were set to iako advanlago of it. The barometor continued faUiug uutil about the hour mentioned, whon the sky begau to darken and tho first intimation of dangor was given.

Tlio barometer at soven o'clock marked 29.4, aud half an hourluter a terrific gale struck tho vessol, carrying away tho RaiiB and damaging tho small boats to a considerablo extent. Tlio storm took the appearance of a cyclouo. Tho waters and air seemed mingled, and tho darkness was Bcemiug ly thick as that of midnight. The sailors state that it was almost impossible to see twelve feet before them, and the darkness was increasing momentarily. Thoro woro thirty five passengers on board Iho Brit tanla when tho cyclone struck hor, ond at first a panic seemed imminent, but tlio crew and captain took swift measures to prevent It.

Tlio sailors lashed themselves to the rigging aftor taking pains to secure tlio safety of the passengers, and tho latter awaitod the result in comparative quiet. Feeling that tho vessel would be safo outside tho space covered by tho cyclone, tho captain ordered that sho bo put under full steam, with tho purposo of sailing her out of tho dangerous ccntor of tho storm. Thsl, however, had no effect, for the Brit taunia was completely at tho mercy of tho wind ami waves. This guste apparently carao from no set point, but varied every moment, whirling tho steamor about and deluging the decks with foam. Tho storm ceased as suddenly as it happonod, and the sky was clear in an hour afterward.

The heavy Bea which ran for somo hours afterward finally fell away, and tho remainder of tho voyage was passed without accident and in efforts to repair tho damago was done. Whilo tho storm was nt its height many mombors of tho crew recolved bruises more or less serious through boing dashed against tho spara or rigging by tho wind's fury. The steward, Joseph Modul, was in tho saloon and received injuries from which ho died tho following day. He was burled at sea. The boatswoin was dashed against a spar and had two of his ribs broken.

Thcso wero tho most seiiouB injuries received by those ou board tho vessel. It is believed that the oscape of the Britannia is duo to her strong construction, tho vessel being fitted with doublo bottom and Bides. Very fow vessels, the sailors state, of hor tonnage could outllvo snch a storm, aud evon her sofa return to port is regarded as little short of a miracle, 4 DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. The Executive Committee of the Democratic Genoral Committee mot last night, and on motion of E. G.

O'Flyn, of tho Third Ward, elected cx 8onator W. H. Murtha aa permanent chairman, and William A. Furey, of tho Ninth Ward, and General G. Brown, of thcElghtoonth Ward, as secretaries.

On motion of J. D. Bell, tho chairman was requested to appoint a Campaign Committee of fifteen. Those fifteen committee men with the president, 'secretary and treasurer of tho General Committee wUl have full management of tha campaign. The chairman was Instructed to request the General Committee to instruct tho presidents of tha ward and town associations to havo the September mooting of tho associations held as early in tho month as possible.

Tho object of this is to promptly prepare for the work of the campaign in the wards and towns. List of parsons tor appointment as registers, inspectors, canvassers and poll clerks are to ba prepared, and there is a great dea of other preliminary work. The attendance last evening was quite large, and great interest seemed to be taken in the proceedings. Measures were taken to sc 1 cure a campaign headquarters at an early day, and a determination was expressed to conduct a vigorous campaign. Ei Sonator Murtha made brief speech In which he spoke of the necessity of untiring work and predicted tho success of the party at the polls.

AS ATTEMPT WHICH VAILED. Some thioves attempted to break into tho residence of Mr. William Booth, No. 253 Carlton avo nue, early this morning. Mr.

Booth, whoso family is sway, was asleep in tho houao and was awakoned by tha ihlnvfta trying la farr.11 tho basement door. Ho ran down iUlra and ahostsd ta Hum, vf hereupon the ftt lova left, from time to time. To day car.No. 18 was again set in motion, and many distinguished visitors rodo iu it from Brooklyn to New York and returned. Mr.

Hoagland was kept busy all morning oiling the switches and tho car brakos bo that they will work easier than they did yesterday, All tho iron work is so new and dry that it requires continual oiling to got it in good eaBy working order. Tho man in tho Bignal houso has to use aU hla strength to movo tho switches or the signals because of their new condition. In tho middle of the floor of each cor thero will bo a Bmall hole cut for tho purpose of gaining easy access to tho grip when it gets out of repair. Many country people crossed the bridgo this morning on their way to Coney Island. THREE CASES In the Town Hall at Gravesend.

One of Suicide, One of Drunkenness and One of a Man who was Found UnconsciousA Court Itoom Scene An Inquest Which was Delayed and a Patient for Whom the Hospital was the Proper Place. The husband of tlie woman who committed suicide at Coney Island lost night was ordered to pre sent himself iu the court room at tho Town Hall, Gravosend, this morning, Justice Williams having an nounced that the inquest would begin at nine o'clock. At noon to day Hazleton was still invisible, and the prospects wore that, an adjournment would bo neces sary. Iu the ovent of Ins non appearauco a warrant lor his apprehension will bo issuod. His Honor utilized tho time at his diBposal by listening to tho facta elicited in a case iu which Peter Tiiyou is very much concerned.

Counselor John Cooney 'represented Tiiyou, and said that it was a matter of serious doubt whether or not his client was drunk as charged. "I toll you, gentlemen of the jury," said Mr. Cooney, that drunkonness is a very broad term, and that a man whoso condition I might regard as bringing him well within its meaning, might not, accovding to your judgment of what constitutes intoxication, bo drunk at all. Thore is no arbitrary standard any more than thore Is as to tho quantity of fluid which will seriously affoot a man. What might upset ono man might not disturb another.

AU, the liquor in God's world would not make eonio men drunk, and a slap of a brewer's apron would knock others off their pins." THE COUM TAKES A RECESS. At this point opposing counsel interrupted Mr. Coo ney, and (he language of tho lawyers becamo quite excited. A witness chimed in with some information wliich nobody had asked for, and tho clerk shrieked at evorybody in a futile effort to restore order. Tho Judge regarded tho proceedings as placidly as if they had been of a character calculated to throw him into a refresh ing sleep, and smiled with much satisfaction when tho clerk finally came off victorious and tho hoar ing was resumed.

Thero was no nonsonse about ouo of the witnessesa Conoy Island officer. Mr. Cooney asked him whether or not ha was prejudiced against the defendant, Ho emphatically disclaimed any bias, bnt boing reminded of a Blight misunderstanding ho had had two ye ars before with Mr. Tiiyou, he took tho court room views in liis own hands and proceeded to catcchizo tho counsel. So you want mo to go into that nine dollar caso, do you ho said threatoningly.

Mr. Cooney's reply was most pacific, but it made no difference to the officer. Tho Court trica to interfere in the counsel's behalf, but it was brushed aside by the witness without ceremom1. Then tho clerk brought his guns to bear upon the officor. The tumult becamo intensified, stentorian allusions to the niuedollars being distinguishable in tno general confusion.

For a miu uto or two it waa close work between tho witness aud tho clerk. No satisfactory predictions as to which voico would havo ultimately drowned tho other could bo mado aud tho question was not definitely sottled, a re cess for ten minutes being unexpectedly ordered by tho Court. As his Honor loft tho bench to accept the hospitality of a friond tha tempest subsided and a young colored gentleman, whose head had been tastefully slashed with a razor, was left in possession of the court room. IN AN ADJOINING KOOM. The life and bustle in tho court was in rather striking contrast witli tho Bceno iu an adjoining chamber, into which a reporter of tho Eagle wandered with no great defiuitoness of purpose.

At full leugth upon a beucli a young man was stretched. Ho was just aiivo and nothing more. Sturdily built and roughly clad ho was in a comatoso condition, his pulso bcatiug feebly aud his eyes being fixed and sightless. It did not appear that anyone was concerned very much about Uiin. A court room attendant who was asked for some particulars, said ho had dono to give, but from other Bourees it was ascertained that the uncon scious man had had about as much attention paid to him as if he had been a prostrate cigar sign.

Ho was found eoaiewhoro on the Boulevard, how long before nobody could toll, and carried to tho Town Hall. Dr. Mori.ua had been summoned to testify at tlio Hazleton inquest, and ho was asked at eleven o'clock to look at the dying man. He lifted ono of his eyelids, folt his pulso and then remarked "This is no place for him. He cannot be treated here.

Ho ought to havo boon sent to a hospital." At this point a bystander volunteered the information that the young man had been seen by a physician. "Who was it?" "Dr. Van Klcek." "Is he coming back "Yes." "Well, I will leave the caso in his hands." About half an hour later Dr. Van lUeck arrived. Ho declined to givo tho caso consideration in tho presence of anyone but tlio undertaker, Abo Still well.

When tho physician was about to leave tho court room, a fow minutes later, a reporter asked him if ho had made an examination of tho body of tho insensible patient. "Oh, yes," ho Baid, humorously "a post mortom examination." "Anv hopo of his recovery "Weil, we haven't much hopo in such cases." When tho reporter left tho man about whose recovery little hope was entertained still lay nt full length upon iho bench, and tho prospects of his removal seemed to bo remote. DISC0SSIXG SKILLED LABOR. The Senatorial Committee in New York Continuing its Investigations. Senate sub Committee on Labor and Education resumed their investigation flu's morning.

when Robert Blissert, a tailor, who has for years past token an active part in tho labor movomcnls, testified that ho began life at the ago of 9 years in a coal pit, but at tho ago of 13 yearn began his apprenticeship as a tailor. Ho took an activo part in the strikes in England, and was consequently boycotted. Witness Baid he had ofton talked with Thomas Carlisle on tho labor question, and was well acquainted with Johu Stuart. The condition of the laboring man was pretty much the same tho world over, though coal miners in England were better off than iu this country, as their homes were pleasanter and their hours of labor shorter. Witness thought that tho general intelligence of skilled workmen was greater abroad than here.

Tho only thought of the workman in this country was to get money enough to pay his reut aud to get enough to live. Witness insisted that if a blow was not struck at monopoly thero would probably bo before tho expiration of ten years ono of the bloodiest revolutions that over occurred. There seemed to be a growing tendency to encovrago monopoly, and ho predicted that unless some action was taken to check it the country would be ruined. The noxt witness was Dr. Norvin Green, who testified that he had been president of tho Westerm Union Telegraph Company for about five years.

Ho became connected with tho Western Union in 1806. He alluded to an appropriation of $30,000 made by Congress for experiments. The first attempt was made in laying an underground line from Baltimore to Washington, but tho knowledge of insulation was not very good Bnd tho current was lost. It escaped through tho rubber insulator. Dr.

Green held that whenever thoy wero compelled to put their wires under ground it resulted in a detriment to the public service. He had seen a statement In somo paper that tho wires in England were all underground; but he noticed when there, not long since, upon looking out of his hotel window, a perfect network of wires overhead. There was as much complaint against the wires there as here. Tho Government wires there wore underground but the poles began long before you get out of the city.
