The Aotion of Mr. Hatch and Mr. E. Cornell White in the Matter of Oonej Island. They Sell Their Stock in the Iron Sleam boat Company Bccanso the Other Stockholders Wanted to CharRe High Prices.

Thoy Take Steps for the Runnlnjr of a nival Line and the Buildinjr of a Mow Iron Pier, to be Called the People's Pier. It would seem from what can be gfttherad in relation to the matter, that there will be a icon rivaling between the new Iron Steamboat Company and tho other steamboat owners for tho passenger tunic during tho doming Summer, between Now York and Brooklyn, and Coney Island and Kookaway. Yoeterdey afternoon the principal stockholders of the new Iron Steamboat and Coney Island Iron Pier Company met at the offices of Scott It Purcell, No. 23 Broad street. New York, and, in addition to other business, passed a resolution that none but iron steamboats uliould bo allowed to land at the Coney Island iron pier.

After the mooting adjournod it was learned that Mr. R. Cornoll White and Mr. Rnfns Hatch had resigned their positions in the above named companies, and tho rumor gained oredenoe that these two gentlemen had sold out their entire Interest in the twin cor poratlons. To day an Baulk reporter saw Mr.

Cornell White, wboinade substantially the following stalemont Mr. White said it was a grout mistake to think that his action iu resigning yesterday was oausod by the paBsageof the resolution excludiug any but iron steamboats from landing at tho pier at Coney Island. On the contrary, although bo had only submitted his resignation yesterday, he had written it READY FOB PRESENTATION at any moment on last November 17, and had prepared it at that time, becauso he plainly said that it was the intent to raise the fare by boat between New York, Brooklyn and Coney Island to much more than it ought to be. He bad taken time by the forelock, and finally himself and others had formed a company to build a new iron pier, and a week ago the land and all the privileges were bought and paid for. Tho new pier was to be located about 1,200 feet east ot the present iron pier, was to bo 1,200 In ongth muoh longer than tho old one and would be in overy way a more pretentious and hotter structure.

While he oould not give all the details, and it would bo, pei hapB, premature to say who woro concoruod iu tho now movement, he could say that tho capital stock tho company was $250,000, all of which had been paid in (hat the plans were being perfected and work bB begun at once. He deslrod it to be stated that he had not been frozen out of the Iron Steamboat and Iron Pier Company, but he and bia frlondB had taken tho first action. The pier was, of course, to bo constructed of Iron, and would be an Improvement on all the old methods in pier bullaiug. The 8t. Ann's style of ornamentation would be abandoned; the roof would bo more ovorhangiug, so as to hotter protect visitors from the sun or rain, and greater conveniences would be given for landing and taking on passengers, fn fact, tho steamboat men had had to fix the other pier before they oonld use it to advantage, so little did the projectors know ot the necessities of the traffic He would act as manager ot tho stoamboat portion of the pier only, and the best arrangements were being made to carry passengers te and from Conoy Island and i Kockaway.

The pier would bo constructed a little to the east of Culver's railroad, and WOULD BE MUOH LONOEB than the present one, the view from whloh would be out off on one side entirely by the new pier. Hie ae tlon had been provoked by that of the Iron Pier Company lout year. Two years ago he had been able to land passengers at Coney Island, going to and coming from llorkcway, but last year although he and his lassongers were willing to pay for the Iron pfer prlri Icrcr. tli had not neon allowed to use It. He claimod that th new movement wan iu tho interest of the people The fores of course had not been decided upon by tho parties In the new arrangement, but hla own idea was what it bad always been, to put down the 'faro as low as possible, as biB experience had taught him that low rates always paid earners better than high and excluslvo fares.

His boats ho claimed would be even safer than tho Iron shells uow boing constructed for the trafflo. His steamors were fire proof and absolutely could not Blnk even wore they to be knocked full of holes. When aBked wholher Mr. A. D.

Culver was in the new arrangement Mr. White did not desire to answer, but finally said ho might be. When interrogated lu relation to Mr. Hutus Hatch's connection with the movement, Mr. White eald Mr.

Hatch was certainly IN SYMPATHY WITH IT, and had yesterday sold out his entire Interest, amounting to about 1500,000, in the Iron Steamboat Company. In fact, Mr. Hatch bad been the father of that company, but he presumed like himself had beeome dissatisfied with his partners in tho enterprise, who consisted of two or throe yacht owners and a few brokers, who thought they could not be taught anything pertaining to tho eteamboat buelnees. He, Mr. White, sold out his interest in the twin corporations yesterday, but declined to tell to what amount he was interested In them.

In ooncluding, Mr. White dosired to havo It known that he wan sgair.Ht anything like a monopoly of the Island and Rockaway travol, and that ho believed the pt'oplo would appreciate his efforts, as they had in the past, to give them good accommodations and cheap traveling facilities.

It was propoaed that they should go down to Loeser's, Mrs, Deputy said she oould not walk so far, and when It waB proposed to take the cars Mr. Deputy said she oould not sland it to rids in the cars that It Jarred her back. Wltnoas also added that upon one occasion she was present whea Mra. Deputy was engaged in making herself a Bilk dress.

It had a very long trait and her mother objected because the train waa so long, aaying to her daughter that she knew her back was woak and ahe could not wear so heavy a train. This was after hor return from the Cateklll. Mrs. Depnty Insisted upon making the train long, and subsequently wore the dresa on New Yoars day in Mr. Hazzard' house, where she assisted in rocoiving, and on other occasions.

AU the other witnesses examined this morning, with the exception of Miss Rice, up to this point, were now witnesses.

A Reward Offered for the Arrest of the Miscreant who Put a "Dynamite Torpedo" Under the Stoop of Mr.

McCfees noy, on Clinton Street Alderman He Carty and his Public Spirited Associates Come to the Rescue of the Citizen A Jooring and Incredulous Police Force. At the meeting of the Common Council yesterday, Alderman MoCarty, of the Fifth Word, offered tho following resolution, wbioh was adopted uaaulmously Jlcsolvrt, That hla Honor, tbe Mayor, bo direotod to offer a suitable reward for the apprehension and conviction of the party, or parttci who, ou tho night of tho 17th of March, 1881, attempted to assassinate James McCbeniioy, by blowing up hia stoop with a torpedo of dyunml to. ThiB caio was referred to In the Eaole at tho time of its occurrence, but iuasmuch as it has been deemed worthy of Alderuianlo attoulion, a more oxteuded ac oount of its chief foatures may bo of interest. On the evening of Saturday, March 19, one of tbe most In olement nights of tho season, a man apparently fifty, five years of age, small in stature, with gray hair aud beard, and with bis overcoat buttoned up over his ears, entered the Butler stroet Station House. Under his arm was an oblong package, which he carefully placed on tho floor, and then stopping up to the desk, gave hi name as James McCbeBnoy, of No.

1S3 Clinton atreet, near Atlantie avenue. Accompanying him was hiB son, who appeared to be about thirty years of ago, and who furnished tho police with what details were required concerning the family history. In a very quiet way Mr. MoChosney proceeded to inform tho authorities that a moat outrageous attempt bad boen made to assassinate him, and pointing to the package on tho floor said that in it was what he believed to be a choice assortment of dynamite. The Czar of Russia had been blown up a few days before, and It wae with grim significance that Mr.

MoChosney pointed his finger at the paokage and warned those in the vicinity not to meddle with it. At this interesting stags of the ease the Eagle reporter reaohed tbe station house, and at his suggestion a series of experiments was commenced. The mysterious paokage waa opened and found to oontaln what the police are pleased to term "a paper grenade," attached to which was about a yard of atrong fuse, Ono ot tho ends of ths fuBe presented a soorched appearance, whloh seemed to indicate that it bad been lighted, but that the flame bad been extinguished by the rain, EXPERIMENTS IN THE STATION HOUSE. The so called grenade, whloh oxaotly resembled a big flreoraoker, was opened at one end, and from it was taken a powder of a gray color. Ths doorman and the sergeant retreated into a corner when it was suggested to apply a matob to part of tho material, and Captain jwavey mildly auggeated that he did not desire to be held responsible for the destruction ot the station house.

A partiolo of the powder, about the size of a pin head, was plaosd on a piece of paper and the paper was ignited. But there was no explosion, not even a flicker. Sic grains were ignited, but there was just a flicker. Then twenty grains. Heoomlug bolder, about one hundred grains were ignited.

Thore was no report just a little fizz, similar to that whloh ooours when a match is applied to a few grains of gunpowder. The fuse, when Ignited, burned quickly and threw out hundreds of tiny sparks. It was finally decided to have the powder analyzed, and with that object In view a considerable portion of it waa taken to a neighboring drug store, but the clerk became terribly alarmed and said it was unfair to ask him to risk his life and place or business In order to satisfy an idlo curiosity. Whether or not tbe police made further effort to have the powder analyzed is not known, but certain it is that they decided to oall the machine on which it was placed a "paper grenade," and certain it is that a whole handful of the powder ignited by the reporter later on in the evoslng did not make him otliovo that it was of a very harmful nature. When the experimenting was over, Mr.

MoCheBney told his atory. He aaid that the maohlno waa found by the servant girl underneath the stoop of his residence on tho morning of March 18, and that from the eoorohed appearance of one of the ends of the fuse it was evident that it had been lighted. Mr. Mo CheBney really believed that a diabolical attempt had been made to blow bis hous to atoms, and had atrong suspicions as to WHO THE VILLIAN WAS who had disturbed his peace and happiness. Without mentioning name he eald he thought it was a man to whom he owed rent for a house he had occupied.

This house was rented for a certain aum. Fart of the rent was paid, but. whan Mr. McChesney found that the plumbing "and drainage were deflolent, and that the house waa not as it waa represent. ed to be, (he vacated it and refused to pay th remainder of th rent.

The man to whom he owed the money had caused him no ond of trouble, had threat eued his life repeatedly If he did not pay, and Mr. Mo Chosney really believed that he had made a most deter mined beginning in hla efforts to kill him by placing tho grenade undorneath tho stoop, xot Mr. McChesney hesitated to make a direct charge against this individual he had no positive proof against him, and while his hints and Inuendoes were very numerous there waa a a deoided hesitancy to make any dlreot complaint. An investigation by the police was demanded, and Super intendent Campbell, on hearing of the faots, promised that it should be afforded. But nothing has come of it.

It ie doubtful whother the police eftrcised any extraordinary amount of diligence is their attempt to run down the perpetrator, for they seemed to regard the case as nothing more nor Iobs than a huge Joke. Inquiries were made, a Bpeelal report containing the raets as above narrated was transmitted to the Pollco Commissioner, and there the matter rested until resurrooted by the aetlou of tbe Common Council. Whan asked this morning how much ot a reward he intended to offer for the apprehension and convtotlon of the would be assassin. Mayor Howell said that ho had not even heard of the case, and when the clroumstanoos were explained to him, intimated that some of th Aldermen must find it an exceedingly difficult task to dlipoae of their time. "Reward." said the Mayor with a amile, "I know nothing about this talk of reward." Mr.

MoOhesney has retired from business, being in good flnaaoial oiroumstances. HI house, whleh la a three story brown stone front, adjolna lh.o bank on the oorner of Atlantic avenue and Clinton streets, and Its interior presents a aharming picture of neatness, oomfort and elegance.

Before Mr. John B.

Gongh started to relate some of bis platform and poraonal experiences at tho Academy of Muslo last evening, be carefully deposited an Imposing pile of manuscript upon th tabls before him, and after ascertaining that his papers were ready for continuous service he left them to their fate. Tha Bev. 3. B. Thomas had already introduced him to the audience, largo and of manifest, respectability, whloh faced him, and bultonlngjup hla tightly fitting coat he critically surveyed tbe assemblag for a moment through a pair of very cheap looking apectacles.

Hi first words oonvinoed his hearors that he had used his voice at the cost of some of its rare that hla physical vigor and determination had not shared the same fate was evidenced in overy gesture. There was the old flr and spirit in hla stamp of denunciation, th old emphasis in the wide awoop and lofty uplifting of the arms and no diminution of the overflowing hnmor which falls so Infectiously from his lips. Looking af fectionately at the glass of water by his sld ht declared as he advanced to the footlights, that If those who lis tened expeotod to hear arguments or rhetorio they would be disappointed. I am like the young man, he said, who was alwaya doing surprising things. Ono day he bung himself, and wheu his employer found Wm swinging he exclaimed, "What will he do I bring you, Mr.

Oough hurried on to aay, A PIECE OP PATCHWORK. It will necessarily be personal, but I trust you will not think me egotistical I nrocose to crlva mvsatf tha (ar. gost liberty in wandering and to offer no apology for it. I never had any great ambitions until I visited a theater, when I became completely stago struck. Aftor my visit to the old Bowery Theater, in New York, in 1832, I made up my mind I would strut my brief hour on the stage.

I envinJ the vory stink uuon it iho verv moaueBt of ite ornaments, and with my stage struck companion, lubuu uiyueti riuicuioue. we lnxusoa tragedy into tho most trivial conversations. Htamning across the stsgo with the tread of tho tra ditional bundlt, Mr. Oough treated his hearers to a tragio dialogue Miiora, wnt nana me me paste pot?" "Aye, by the mass, Gonzales, thou Shalt have it!" The lauchter which greeted this renroductlan of his youthful desperation having subsided, and the leoturer uaving graceiuuy ewuug uaoic tne disturbed lockB ox flowing silver which hung ovor his forehead, he re. sumed: I stand bera to night, sixty three years of age, ana 1 uiaua uuu iruia uiy innermost soul mat i have for forty years been a temperance leoturer.

Without reflecting on the stage, I say I would rather be a doorkeeper at a tomporanco lecture than tbe grandest actor that ever trod the stage. I cannot remember tho time, confessed Mr. Oough, that I did not dread an audience. You may say that alter 8,000 lectureB that is affectation but there is always something )iko the trip hammer beating of the heart that there was when I first lacoa an auuience. It is gone the moment I reel that I have the sympathy of my hearers, replaced by a consciousness of power that exhilarates and excites producing a sensation of delight for which I afterward have to pay.

To lead devotional exercises la always a source of serious oiubairaspnirnt to mo. Why it is so I know not. 1 cannot undoratand it; I cannot help it. I am asked. "Do you boo your audience as individually or in tho figregaln 7" Wo! when I arise, thero iu an lnvolnntary selection of tho persons to whom 1 shall speak and tbe will has NOTHING TO DO WITH THB CHOICE.

I soleot you, talk to you, and I would know you afterward on the Blrcet. If 1 got your svmcathv. I am elad. if you are dull I am sad. I may have ycloctod a dull, viuufc.rj ui pi iouu, uut uavu no win 10 inane a cliuiigc.

I am asked, "Do you prepare your lectures For the first soveuteen years of my life I spoke entirely ou temperance, aud I never read a line on a teniperanco subject and never committed a sentence to my memory. In traveling or reading I am on the lookout, but I do not store my mind with anything. I lot It float upon tho Burfacs. People will say I have heard it and no havo you "dough 1b a mere story teller." Well, what olsa should he bo 7 I glory iu the name. My early life was one of privation.

When I oould lift a pound I lifted it for broad. When I was twonty five years of age I had novor read a book on history or seieuco. Whon I put my name to a temperance pledge I had no beautiful thoughts, no beautiful lauguago, but I had a story to tell, and the people listened to it. It was story of privation, a story of struggle, a story of despair and a Btory of victory, and I thank God that I have so told my story a3 to uiato better tho atory of other people's lives. People say, "Goiifh, yon aro a inero retailor of ouocdotas." Well, I havo a keen sense of tho ridioulous, and one of the inoHt ridiculous things I know of ia the attempt of certain sapiout critics to analyze me.

Thoy say "Gough Ib not a thinker." Well I urn uota thinker, a deep or original and profound thinker (emphasizing and dragging out the words). Laughter. If I pretended to be one I might be subjected to the treatment awarded by the old minister to the profound being who had juat ocoupled hla pulpit: "Prick him, Lord, and let the wind out of him." Laughter. It Is said that I am not original. Perhaps I am duplicate, and as the copy is sometimes better than the picture itself, it might be better if 1 was.

I don't know where I get my stories. I don't protend that they are true. I use them for illustration, aad you know as well as I do that a good story will Illustrate a point as well ss half an hour's argument. Suppose I wiBh to illustrate false sympathy. I can tell the story of tho boy who, seeing a picture of the Christian among the lions, said he was sorry for the Christian, but ha was sorry "for that little lion over there that had not cot a ChriBtian." fLauah ter.

But the finest stories may bo ineffective. I told. ono once or the young man who ADMIBED A LADY'S FOOT. "Ob, it was a beautiful foot," he said, "a delloloua foot. It was a porfootly lovely foot, but it novermade the lmpreeslon upon mo that her father's did." At tho conclusion of this Impressive story an old gentleman remarked to mo that ho did not see what the father's foot had to do with it.

Laughter. At another time I told tho story or the visit of a duk to a oertaln household. Said the lady to her servants, "You must say 'your whenever the duke speaks to you and when his grace did apeak to one trim little servant maid Bho piously exclaimed, "Por what we aro about to receive, Lord make us truly thankful." Laughtor. One of my hearors asked me, "Why did she ask a blessing 7" Laughter. If I wish to illustrate a compromise, I may tell the story of the negro who said he was terribly tempted to steal a pair of new boots when he got religious.

"The debble an! me was in a alar majority agin ffod," ha said, "so I compromised with God au' took an old pale of shoes." (Laughter.) I have never boen entirely put down, tbough I havo been sorely tried. Argument is of no use with the man who means to annoy you but if you can make a point againBt him in a good story you will have htm. The leoturor declared that only once had be been entirely nonplussed. He bad been presented with eome cigars, and having put them under his hat he forgot they were there and among 2,500 people proposed three oheers for temperanoe. In the enthusiasm of tho moment tho hat went up and the cigars went down.

He had just succeeded in gottlng his audionoe weU in hand again, when a little boy loosened his grip by ollmblng to the platform and exolaimtng Hero, mister, I found ono of yer cigars After giving eome amusing Illustrations of the man nofln which speakers will get sentences bungled, Mr. Gough described one of Mscready'a fallings being the invariable uso of tbe expresaion colsoned dud" in stead of poisonod cup." He than treated tho audience to a eketou 01 cuo great preacher, OHABLES ADDON SEDItGBON. His ardent and enthusiastic admiration for that di vine was evidenced in every word he said concerning him. Spurgeon's eduoatlon, said Mr. Gough, consisted of four years' attendance in a aommon school, and a few months In an agricultural college.

He preached his first sermon at sixteen years of age, under peculiar ciroumstances and without five minutes' consideration. To me, personally, he Is fascinating. Ia personal appearance he is not attractive', but he is full of wit and humor, with rollicking laughter and fun, and yet wlth all, no unbecoming levity, I cannot imitate Mr, Spur geon he Is inimitable. has no' pulpit trioks. Standing sometimes porfeotly stlil.he will utter wondor ful sentences.

Take him for all in alt, we shall not see his like again. There are some men who are alwaya rasping and irritating us, and yet they are going to Heaven. The thought of eternal companionship with them is re lieved by tbe thought of the immensity of space. Li.tuguier.j Mr. Goueh here gave an imitation of the rasrjlnu style of a clergyman who took for his text the words "It ib appoiuica unto an men once to die," who continually repeated bis text, varying the cheerful intimation with reassuring desorlptiona of the delights of rheumatism, smallpox and fever and other of tho ills that flesh is heir to.

Next cams an imitation of the clergyman who waa pompous and improBBlve, but incapable of thought. Mr. descrl bed tbe uncul. tured but often forcible plantation preaolier, of the type which would denounce the mau who threw a brick at htm with "De man who threw dat brlok at me was guilty of an act of mors! turpentine." Perhaps tbe happiest illustration of tho evonlng was that of the gifted olorgyman who analysed the verse in whleh th "Little buey bee" figures. Dropping into bkhiovsness again tho lecturer sold It seems to me only a short time ago since I first came to Brooklyn and since th newspapers used to say "A tolerably good breath of wind would blow me to any point of th compass." They said I would notllve Blx months, and yet I have not been in bed one day in thirty fonr years.

Dropping into bis favorite theme temperance the lecturer alluded to tho necessity for persistent work. It. was not necessary that results should at one be seen. Some people were not satisfied if they did not make a convert at onoe, and gonerally to their own denomination. Here Mr, Gough presented a verbal picture of a young man whom he had loved as a boy, and who at 30, maddened with drink, shot himself through the head.

The contrast between tbe young man, olean, pure and wholesome, and the drunkard with his furnace mouth and surging blood was drawn with startling vividness. "Would I have given Mm his first glass of wine," roared Mr. Gongb. "No I would rather bare given him the last one which drove him to the rash deod which sent him to the other world, for it there had been no first glass there would have been no last one." A plea for greater efforts in behalf of temperanco brought the lecture to a close. 18 MB.

Some things glvenln evidence to day, she said, were not given ou the previous trial; at the time sho took the room in Mrs. Donuty's house, witness was a teaoher in the Central Grammar School she graduated as a physician in 1874. Mr. Lamb next questioned the witness in reference to what she testified on the previous trial as to Mrs. Deputy's condition after the return from the Catskills.

She said she rotaraed with a good appetite and much improved. The question turned next upon the visit to the Cats kills at the first stopping place, ten miles from the lauding tho noxt morning they rode to Eaet Durham, and back In tho afternoon while there they took a very short walk back of the house, to a little summer house on the back of the gorge a few daya after they removed to East Durham, and remained there nearly two woeks the journeys were made by wagonB; while there she waa out in the air every day and played croquet with th reat of tho ladies they took many little walka together the Journey to Mount Plsgala was about seven miies there were a number of gentle men in the partioa In oonilng up the last ascent it wasal a winaing roaa, very gentle assent, xuo mmroi reached the top first aud the others csme stringing along In twos and threos a shower came up when the party reached the top, and they took refuge In a little house bf boughs, built by the gentlemen, and a firo waa built; tho partv got very wot Mrs. Deputy was protected from the wet, and had nothing wet upon her when they came home the week following tho return from the Catskills, witness resumed ber school duties in tho afternoon witness and Mrs. Deputy went out to the Park several times to play oroquet, getting home in time for dinner the witness said that after the shower in tho Catskills, and when they had reaohed the car. riaae.

TlAYiiitv's shoes and stocklnas. and from the knees to the end of the foot, she witness, applied friction she'then had a good opportunity to note the size of the lower extremities after the return from tbe mountains, during the Fall, she was in general good health. To General Tracy Miss Rice explained how thoy prevented Mrs. Deputy taking sold by protecting her from damp clothing aftor her return to Brooklyn she was well and had a good appetite, but sho was not strong enough to endure exertion.

General Tracy asked the witness to describe any exhibition of temper which she saw which ooourred with Mrs. Dputy.about the time she left the house. A. Ono morning in attempting to open the eloset door where I kept my wardrobe, the bolt did not turn, and I found the key had broken In the loek as I went downatairs I told Mrs. Deputy I had brokon the key in the look and would attend to the mattar I met her on the landing I spoke about it, and ahe answered in a loud voice that she was Un a worse fix the house would have to be torn out to get the oloset open she said I was very careless to break the key she was very angry and apoke In a loud voice I did not continue the conversation.

Tho witness gave in detail the conversation, and narrated what took place when she returned from school. A dlfforonoe arose between them concerning some household matter, and thereafter the witness waa unable to counteract the unploasant feeling which Mrs. Deputy seemed to feel. Mrs. Deputy spoke very angri ly, waa very pale and ehe trembled visibly.

Mr. Lamb cross examined the witness in roference to the transaction. The witness thought she was not exalted, and was vory much surprised that Mrs. Deputy should get excited and angry over the incident. MI8S EMILY BALL was tbe next witness.

She testified that she was a teacher by occupation. She was boarding at the place in tho Catekiiis where Mise Rice and Mrs. Deputy stopped first. Mrs. Deputy's condition, the witness thought, was that of an invalid.

She did not join the ladies In the walks they took. She never saw her go beyond the gate, a distance of about three rods. On the cross examination witness said that if she rec olleoted aright the week Mrs. Deputy was there the witness was 111 herself and about tho house. MISS LTDIA BOINTON, who waa also at the house while Mrs.

Deputy was thero, remaining there two or three days after Mrs. Deputy arrived; she seemed to be an invalid and did not walk out muoh. On the oroti examination the witness said she wag not about th house mush while Mrs. Deputy was there, MI8S FLORENCE MEWBUBT was the next witness: She testified she was in the Catsklills, also at the house, and saw Mrs. Deputy; she seemed to be an Invalid onoe she saw Mrs, Deputy walking with Miss Rico outside the gate; aside from that time the witness did not see her walking outside the gate, MISS LOUISE HALPINE was the next witness.

She testified that ehe resided In this city, and Is an authoress and Journalist she made Mrs. Deputy's acquaintance in 1877, taking board with her in Schermerhorn street, and remalued three months: short time before ehe contemplated a ohange ahe told Mrs. Deputy that aha would retain her room and take her meal outside; so made no reply, but looked strangely; Mrs, Deputy fainted, and the witness got her to bed; her countenance contracted and was overspread with pallor witness knew it was a nervous attack, end endeavored to allay her eieltament by saying everything ehe could; wheu she disrobed her she observed theoorda of her neok were very mtroh swollen aha abed a aw teara and oraduallv arew better: wit ness partially undressed her; she seemed not to be able to help herself I noticed the xuuoolos of her back wore rigid seemed to drawn, How long did thla continue 1 A.

What the Hayor'g Committee lias Agreed Upon An Elevated Boad from the Bridge and a Depressed Boad on Atlantic Avenue The Underground Bailroad Company Not Considered Meotlutr of the Rapid Transit Commission Condition of the Streets. The committee which was appointed at tho reoent meeting of railroad men at tho Mayor'a office, to "harmonize the conflicting interests," has come to an agreement as to the course to be pursued la order to furuleh Brooklyn with rapid transit. That is, the members havo agreed npon a plan which they think will be acceptable and are only watting to confer with the Long Island Railroad Company in regard to Atlan tic avenue before reporting the details.

They nave conferred with Mr. Richardson as the reprcooutatlve of the avenue Railroad Company, and it la understood that that interest has been or will be harmonized, ilr. Austin Corbln, th leading man in the Long Island Railroad, is In Europe, but his representative hero hae been apprised of what tho committee proposes and will Bhortly have a formal oonferenoe with it. The ooinmlttoe will make a partial report to a meeting of all tho gentlemen ongaged In this movement, to be held in the Mayor'a office this afternoon. THE SCHEME is to have an elevated railroad from the bridge to the Long iBland Railroad Depot, the route, it la understood, being through Adams or Pearl street to Wlllougbby street, to Dobevoiso Btrset, and thence across DeKalb avenue to Flatbush and the depot.

As to Atlantie avonuo, the rights of the Long iBland and the Atlantlo avenuo companies have to be considered, and the prop osition ia to put a deprossod road tboro as a substitute for ntoain on tho surface. On the other hand, it la said that an elevated road should be built there in order to have continuous communication between the bridge and East New York. The answer mado by some people to Ibis le, that af tor all, tho main thing is to have rapid transit between the bridge and the Long Islaud Denot, and that the eharaoter of the road Atlantic avenue Is something whloh is of niOBt Interest to the Long Island and the Atlantlo avenue companion (us they would build the road), and whloh they shall determine, providing, of course, that steam Is to be removed from the surfaoe. As the people on the avonue seem to be in faror of a depressed road, the committee favors that plan, and Mr. Rlohardson la understood to agree with them.

What Mr. Corbin will favor remains to be seen. At the meeting In Mr. A. S.

Barnes' house, in February, Mr. Corbln said he thought there should be a sunken road, but the question waa how they were to get It. As" his company was then taxed, he would bo willing to pay th interest on the amount it would cost to the city to sink tho tracks. He was inolined to believe that if an arrangement could be made to sink the tracks thoy could probably arrange with Mr. Richardson on fair terms.

It was demonstrated quite olearly at that meeting that the oity was not in condition to enter into any such scheme, and it is not now proposed. Whatever road shall be constructed on the avenue must be constructed by the two companies which occupy that thoroughfare. It is not understood that whoovor shall build the road from the bridge, whether (c be the Orace Fiint McLoan party or the Culver people, or a combination of both interests, they will not be In the Atlantlo avonue enterprise, exoept so far as that avenue is concerned In the geueral "harmonizing of the conflicting intorosts." THE UNDERGROUND PLAN. The gentlemen engaged in the entorprlso of the Brooklyn Underground Railroad Company, are apparently desirous of interesting tho Committee on Harmony and the balance of tho Mayor's Office party. In their movement.

The Harmonixers take no Btoek In underground scheme, etmply because, as they nay, the construction of such a road would bo too expensive. Ono of them said this morning "What is the use of building an underground road from the river to the Long Island depot, which would OOBt, with equipment, $1,800,000 (I give their own figures) whon we can build au elevated road between those points for a third of that 7" Yesterday, two of tho underground dirootora called upon Mr. Honry O. Murphy, president of the Brighton Beach Railway, and a member of the Harmonizers' Committee, and explained their plan io him. While they did not in so many words tay their objsct was to influence him In favor of the plan, suoh was the' construction placed upon their visit.

They explained that their plan was to have an underground road from the bridige at or near Prospect street, through Washington street to Fulton, up Fulton to Flatbush avenue thenoo to tho Long Island Depot and possibly to the depot of the Brighton Beach Road near tho WlUlok ontrance to the park. Then there wbb to be an elevated road from the bridge down to the ferry. The visitors made no reoom mendatloue, but simply confined themselves to an explanation of what they proposed to do. There are to be etatlons at Adama and Fulton stroeta, and at Fulton street and Flatbush avenue. Mr.

Murphy was asked to day if he had soon Mr. Harvey King, of Boston, president of the Seaside Railroad Company, which baa laid ont oxtonsive elevated railroad routes in Brooklyn. Mr, King waa at the Mayor's offloe last Tuesday In search of tho Harmonizers. Mr. Murphy smiled and eald he had never seen Mr.

Harvey King, of Boston, and all he kuew of him was what ho had road lu the Eaolx. Mr. Culver wasasked to day if he had seen Mr. Ring. Mr, Culver smiled and said ho had never seen Mr.

Harvey King, of Boston, and all he knew of him was what be had read in the Eagle. Mr. Culver went a little further. He thought the publication about Mr, Ring's vitit was a joke. THE CONDITION OP THE BT8BETS.

Mr. fjeorgo F. Swlit, the contractor for cleaning the streets, was before City Works Commissioner French again to day, further oomplaints having been made that the work was not being properly done. Inspector Whtling said that the streets ot the Second, Fourth, Fifth and Seventeenth Wards particularly were In a very filthy condition. Commissioner Freuoh said that omothiug must be done it Mr.

Swift wanted to keep th contract. The streets right In front of the Municipal Bulldiug, he complained, were dirty. Mr, Swift said the weather waa still wintry, but when it should become settled be should do bettor. Mr. Dady, who is superintendent for Mr.

Swift, said they were doing the best they could and losing money ail the time. In his opinion It would take a million of dollars a year to keep the streets of Brooklyn clean. Inspector Whiting said that the only ward in the city which was fairly clean was the Twentieth. Commissioner Fronoli warned Mr. Swift that all the wards must be cleaned.

RAPID TltANSIT COMMISSION. The Rapid Transit Commission met this morning, at their rooms In the Fhenlx Building, President Hon derson In the chair and all th commissioners present. Mr. W. H.

Hall appeared with a model of hla Improved Railroad Track," whloh he explained in detail. He claimed that It made lese noise and was cheaper than other Btyles of traoks. There were ouly 177 ties to the mite, and because of the great BpaeeB between them the Bound waves were allowed to escape. The cause of the noise waa th contaot of the wheels with the rails and the more rapidly the wheels revolved the greater was the noise but In his patent, the absence of tics enabled the sound waves to escape, and materially decreased the noise. The cost per mils ot the roadbed, exclusivo of the general struoture of the road, was about 10,000, and it waa applioable to all new Inventions in regard to motors.

Mr. Hall eald that his patent had never been put In operation, and on that account the first railroad that adopted It would have the free use of It for the lifetime of the patent fifteen yoars. Thla was the last day for the exhibition of plana by outside partlee. Mr. LnciuB, the engineer of the commission, will submit a plan, and the commission will on Thursday determine the plan upon which the road shall be built.

THIRTEENTH REGIMENT. Review and Dreu Parade of a BattalionA Pleasant Social aud Military Affair. Although the attendance at the reviow of a battalion ot the Thirteenth Regiment, consisting ot companies and at the Hanson place Armory, last evening, was not equal to othor holiday occasions, the affair proved thoroughly enjoyable In ita toclal features, while from a military standpoint It waa a complete success. A promenade concert by Dodworth willed away the time pleasantly until half past eight o'oiook, when six commands of twelve files were pre sented In the best shape to Captain Wm. L.

Watson, commandant of the provisional battalion, by Adjutant George B. Davis. The review, whloh waa taken by Brigadier General Cbrlstensen, was excellent throughout, the wheel Into lino from columns of companies being particularly handsome, Dress parade followed, with four companies, unequallzed, Company parading thirty two files. This ceremony was finely rendered, Adjutant Davis winning golden opinions for the soldierly manner In whloh bo performed the duties of his positionthis boing his first ossay in the dress par ado.

The company already possessing ome of the finest trophies iu the regiment for markmanehlp, and it being a dead certainty that one of three or four men would take any auch prize, it was deolded by th donor to devote the gift to stimulate reorultlng, and aa the result of this determination, placed in Captain Williams' hands a magnificent Jurgensen gold watoh, coating $450, to bo presented to the member of Company aeourlng the greatest numbor of reorulta during the year.

Side Justice Rogers Reported to Havo Deserted the Republicans aud Cone Orcr to the mcaug lt Democrats. In Fiatlanda. Somo very unexpected intelligence lifts reaehed the Court House regarding the situation of affairs In Flatlanda this morning. There are three tickets In the field in Flatlsnds, one being Jeffersonian, another regular Democratio and the third Republican. The town Is generally Republican, Supervisor Ryder feeing tho only Independent who has over received a continuous Indorsement at tho hands of the voters, Tho fact that two Democratic tickets wore pliood in nomination of course simplified the Republican situa tion.

The Republicans placed James Savage in noml datlon as Justice of the Peace, the Jeffereoniana selecting Henry M. Elliott aB their standard bearer for the place, and the reiular Democrats putting up Mr. W. Hci'all. JUBtlce of Sessions Rogers is a resident of the town.

He Is a Republican, and is ereditcd with con siderable follpwlng. It was claimed this morning that he had OONZ OVER TO THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE, carrying to the regulars all tho political support he could command. The peculiarity of his position and some very unresorved expressions which he mado uso of lant night add very much plausibility to the claim He has been so generally repudiated by every ssotlon of the Republican party in the city that he has made up his mind, if he himself is to be bolleved, to cast In his lot with the Domocrats in this contests. In a word, he has gone Into the repudiation biiBinecs himself and was last night heard to say that the ioSal Republican ticket so far as he was concerned could go to a place much too warm to be comfprtable. Word reached tho Court House cbout noon to day that the fight 1 the town had become lively beyond ail description, but further than that no details have been received.

FLATBUSH. The latest accounts from Flatbush lead to the conclu elon that the struggle there 1b very close. The registry there was not very heavy "out the vote will be remarkably full. The Inclemency of the weather rendered agricultural operations Impossible moniug, so that the farmers have turned out ALMOST TO A MAM. There are are three tleketa In the field, and the supporters of each are bo sanguine of success that it is ovi dent nothing but the count will decide it.

John F. Iloury's Reliremcnt from tho Club. There is considerable gossip among tho local Republican politicians over a disturbance iu the Kings County Club. The club is composed of aotive Republicans from tho city at large. It has a club houBo on Pierrepont street where meetings are held every Saturday night.

Tho mombers endeavor to confine politios with sociability, but thore is always more of the formor than of the latter and numerous differences have from time to time occurred in consequence. In addition to their othor practices the olub msu have undertaken at various periods to discuss and paes upon questions of legislation affecting tho city government, and particularly matters involving the apportionment of party patronago. Several years ago importance was given to these discussions by the pros enco of tho party leadors and the attendance of the KlngB County Republican representatives iu the Legislature. About a year ago, however, A BEBIOUS SPLIT occurred In the club, which led to tho rotlremeht of Genoral Jourdan and othor prominent members. It was givon out at the time that General Jourdan's reason for iseiguing was the decision of the organization to leaBe the Club Houso for campaign purposes.

It waB a well known fact, however, that the genera) and many others were tired of the biokering and intorneolne strife of which the club parlors wore continually made the cene, and that their weariness of it wsb tho principal reason for thoir withdrawal. Since then little interest has been attached by the party mon outside tho club to its doiugs. The meetings as a general thing havo been marked by the absence of the conspicuous Republican who formerly led their forces in debate, and the discussions have been carried ou principally by a few gon tlomen whose political power ia far exceeded by their oratorical abilities. There was a genoral lmpreeslon among the more thoughtful members that it was hardly worth while for the members of tho club to recommend political legislation whan the party at largo had no voice in the diseusBiona that led to the recommendation; and the mors aoulo politicians agreed that the proper place for such disoussions and recommendations was the Republican General Committee, THE NEW DIFFICULTY. The freah disturbance tn th organization will surprise a good many people from the fact that it has led to the withdrawal of Mr.

John F. Honry, who has been one of the oldeat and most aotive mombers and who, at the time of hie withdrawal, was one of the director. Mr. Henry, when asked by the writer to day the reasons of his withdrawal, was unwilling to say more than that was dissatisfied with certain details of the management and that his non membership would afford Him more time for social and domestic duties. It was learned from another source, however, that there Is something behind all this that a large proportion of the mombers sympathize with Mr.

Henry and that soma of them are dlsposid to follow hla example. On reason assigned for Mr. Henry's aotion is the action of certain members with regard to the banquet reoently tendered to General Grant. Mr Henry baa always been a staunch supporterof the ot Presldont and when the entertainment was under consideration he proposed that importance be given to the ocaaslon by inviting to the club honse some ot the more distinguished Republicans of the city net members of the olub. The idea met with cold disfavor from an element which is opposed to the stalwarta and In consequenoe there were no Invited guests except Genoral Grant himself.

THB INITIATION FEE. Some time later Mr. Henry and several of hie friends made a proposition to reduce the initiation fee for membership in the olub, which Is now $15. The annual dues amount to (10, the first quarter being required In advance with the initiation foe. Mr.

Henry has brought many new members in the club, and ha desired to bring in a good many more. Numerous Republican had manifested to him desire to beoome members of the organisation, but most of them aomplalned that the amount required for Initiation was excessive. Mr. Henry made an effort to have tho fee reduced to $5, but waa unsuccessful, a majority of the members expres alng a willingness to compromise ou $10, but refusing to fix the amount at $5. This deolslon was disappointing to Mr.

Henry, and be accordingly retired, MB. HENRI'S VIEWS. Mr, Honry said to an Eaoli reporter to day that now he had Bent In his resignation he wished to retire, although his resignation had not, te hie knowledge, been accepted. Without referring particularly to the Kinga County Club, be wished to express bia opinion that this was not the time for men In politics to form in little cliques and ooteries and undertake to have things all their own way. The proper method was to put matters in the hands of tho people, and 1st them decide for themselves what they want and what they do not want.

He believod that there was already too tnuoh of the clique business and too much excluslveness attempted in th party, and he for ono was opposed to it. In conclusion, Mr. Henry expressed th best of feeling toward the members of th Kings County Club, but hardly thought that under all the oiroumstances of tho case Us would be more (omfortably off out of it than in it. TO REV. DR.

BUCKLEY. Mr, Petersen, of tbe Vonng Republicans. Reply, To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Dr. Buckley's gentlemanly attack upon the Young Men's Central Republican Club last night was neither more nor less than I expeoted from him. But as the member of the organization dlrcotly and personally responsible for Colonel Ingersoll'a appearance before the club, I wlah to reply to one question propounded by the reverend gentleman in hla abusive discourse, which called a Bermon.

He aska In substance would this olub InBult publlo deoency by Inviting a Jew, a Mohammedan, or a Catholic to address them Aa an Individual I should answer most emphatically, yes. As a political body we reeognize no oreed and no religion; we war with no man's belief but hope for the broad platrorm of citizenship and common humanity we extend to every man th right hand of fellowship. We number aniongour members, Jews, Caihojics, and members of every sect of the' Protestant Church, as well as some few unbelievers, and shall any one of these men take it upon himself to frame a oreed for all the others and refuse to affiliate, politically with honest and true men because differ from him on questions of theology? No, a thousand times no I We believe in an absolute separation of church and State, and object to having questions of religious belief dragged Into political discussions. This I believe le the stand taken by the club upon this subject. As for myself personally, I believe In the liberty that allows every man to think for himself, and should not war against even Dr, Buokley for expressing his opinion, were it not that he allows his zeal to lead him Into a personal abuse of men just as honest a he is, andjoertainly possessed of mere Christian charity.

In conclusion let me say that th statement that "all but three or four of the gentlemen present at the dinner were avowod lnfldals" was unqualifiedly falsa. I question If there were over three or four Infidels present, and as I knew all the gentleman who were there I know whereof I (peak. I think when a minister uses hla pulpit as a platform from which to defame hla fellow men and does not hesitate for the sake of a little cheap notoriety to make atatementa whloh ara utterlyTalse and without any foundation in fact, he does more to drive decent and self respecting men from the church than alt the Voltalros, Paines and Inger soila th world ha ever produced. I believe that in onr "politloal Olub" wa havo better Christians than the olorgyman who forgets to "do unto other as yon would be done by" and heeds not the commandment Thou abalt not bear falsa witness."
