Gold opened at 114 and fell to llfl before half past ton o'clock, reacting subsequently to The operators in tho room who aro outside tho clique are disappointed with tho course of the market hero and bewildered by Iho movements in Loudon. On Wednesday they confidently oxpected that the bank of England rato would be advanced. The disappointment was shared by tho powers of ExcL.iugo, aud a chaugo of rates for Btorling resulted from the inaction of tho bank. Yesterday tho Exohonge and gold brokers thought that the rato of disoount of the bank would certainly bo advancod to day as it was thowu that the bullion withdrawn had gone direct to Franco. To day, however, thero 1b auother disappointment aud the cause of tho speculation in gold ie undoeided.

In connection with the nnveinouts of bullion in London it is regarded as singular that the press reports made no mention of tho fact that tho City or Paris was negotiating loan ol 250 millions of franca. Had this been announced in season there would have beon an immediate explanation of the movement of bullion from the Bank of England. A petition to the Governiug Committee is receiving signatures at the Stock Exchange, asking that tho commissions be reduced to two rates only. This petition has already been signed by over 601) membors. There is considerable disatisfaction with the rates as now cs tabli hed, and Bomo members threaten to withdraw and form another F.xchange.

It is not probable that such threat will bo put into oxooution. California mining stocks continuo active. YeBterday wo had reports of a sharp docliuo iu some of them. Today prices havo reacted again.

Mr. White replied that at a previous meeting of tho Committee he gave them an idea of what he proponed tho City of Brooklyn should do, to enable film and others to establish a line of steamers between Brooklyn and the high roads of travel. He had a conversation with the Superintendent' of the New Haven Railroad Company Bhice that time, who informed him that about one third of the whole number of passengers over the road amounting to about 3,000,000 annually, came from Brooklyn, A Bingle office of the Company sold as high as TOO tickets a month bat not one iu a hundred knew nothing of such an offloo. If tho steamors connecting with the New Haven Railroad could get suitable accommodations at a Brooklyn wharf, the trains on tho branch road would be increased, and, if traffic Justified it, ex proas trains would he run from Harlem River to Now Rochellc. The desire was to have a suitable landing at the foot of Fulton street, where steamboats could land without any delay.

The landing should be about one huntlrcd feet in lengtli. Aid. RopeB asked if the building of an "oil" (L) at tho end of the Fulton street pier of one hundrod foot woidd kciap steamboats mooring there clear of the ferryboats. Mi. White, in auswor to Mr.

DeWitt and Aid. Ropes, said it would be esirablo to have tho "ell" longer than one hundred feet, to accommodato ths North River boats. But what was proponed at proseut waa to have tenders convey passengers from the pier to tho larger boats, tshilo eventually they hoped to make Brooklyn the tfirminup for all of them nmking brief stoppages on the New York side. Mr. A.

Van Zantwood, of the New York and Albany Daily Line, said from the conflict of interests it waa apparent that tho "ell" at tho end of the Fulton street pier juld not be constructed largo enough to accommodato tho boats of hia Company, But, answer to Mr. DoWltt, ho added that arrangements might be made to run a smaller boat. If they could get sufficient room it was their intention to make Brooklyn tho trminuy of their line. Mr. Do Witt said he saw the great importance to the City of Brooklyn to make provision along its water front for such a line of steamers.

If the Company oould manage to Bend a boat to Brooklyn, which would not interfere with the Union Ferry Company or with travel, he thought the Common Council might make arrangements for a landing. Mr. Cornell White contended that the construction of an "ell" at the end of the prosent pier, would give greater facilities to those now using it, as the ell would protect their boats from all passing swells. Aid. Connolly couldn't see how crafts could get into the basin, if an "ell" was constructed.

Aid. Trowbridge Mr. White, If tha city should construct this ell," you would pay the city an annual rental of Mr. White Yes, with the understanding that I should have entiro control of its use. But, if it should be made a public dock, of course I would decline paying that moni.

y. PItOTESTANTS AGATN3T TTLK SCHEME. Mr. Billiard, of the steamer Twiligtt, excursion boat between Brooklyn and Rockaway, protested againBt giving a lease to the Albany lino and MorriBania Company, of the pier, as it would cut off all other steamboats and vessels from its use. Mr.

PeckUam, of J. Thompson's Nephew, coal dealers, also entered his protest against tho granting of the petition. Hia firm unloaded about fourteen thousand tons of coal at the pier annually. Now, if they wore to con: truct an "ell'' at its extremity for the accommodation of the It would effectually close up the baniu and prevent hit) coal barges from entering and diai harpiug their cargoes. Mr.

Jewell, of Jewell safd the construction of an ell" would damage their property considerably. TIIE UNION FERHY COMPANY. Corporation CouubcI DoWitt 6aid thore were several representatives of the Union Ferry Company present, and suggested that their views should bs hoard. Ex Judge Morse said: He wished to present the views which tha Ferry Company takes in reference to the matter under consideration. The number of nasseri gers conveyed by the Ferry Company exceeded 65,000 a day, from which it woidd readily appear the importance of the freedom of the Ferry Company to do the utmoBt to acoommodate citizene.

The Committee need hardly be reminded that at present the crowded state 0 commerce on the East River was such is to make the passage exceedingly di moult. In times of fog It would hardly be too much to say that it would be a dangerous navigation for the Ferry CompanyB boatB if tboco steamboats were allowed to make a landing at the adjoining docks. Tho whole arrangement of the NAVIGATION ON THE EAST BIVEB was very much embarrassed by the crossing of boats on their different tracks. Some very serious accidents have already been produced by that Btate of navigation. The boats which would land at this pierce understoodwould have to croas the ferrybaats.

There was another consideration. The tides run at this point with a very great velocity. Changing currents frequently rendered it a very nice science on tho part of pilots to meet them, changing as they often did between trips. It must thereforo occur tothe mindi of the Com mitte'that an increase of the crossings by this ferry would greatly increase the difficulties navigation. Another consideration.

He wished to call attention to the fact that when the great project of the Bridge became an active reality, one of the three slips which the Company possessed was taken away and became the site of the magnificent tower on the Brooklyn side. The Ferry Company have in contemplation to construct another slip. The number of passengers were daily increasing and they supposed that there was no interest superior to the ferry interests, whose duty it was to accommodate tbe people. Mr. Jewell remarked that tbe extension of the pier would make It difficult for ferryboats to get into the south slip.

Mr. Do Witt asked Judge Morse if there waa any likelihood of the new slip being requirod for some time. Judge Morse A committee has been appointed to take measures for the Immediate acoornplihinent of that purpose. Mr. Pierrepont, one of the Directors of the Union Ferry Company, Baid tho point which interested the Company was the crossing of Bteamboats over the ferry highway.

As conservators of public safety, they got a passed obliging them to keep in the middle of tho er. By th ir coming close to the Bhore thoy bad one thuir boats cut down to the water's edge, if another ry waa established in proximity to thorn, there would be very great danger. It was the great danger from lare boats running across ferryboats that led the Company to objoel to tho scheme. There was a dock by tho Bridij'3 Lhat Luight answer tho purposes of the petition or. WHOSE PHOPERTY IS IT? ilr.

Pierrepont claimed thzt the pior at the foot of Fulton atroot. belonged to the Union Ferry Company uieir lcasr. irom tno Jiiy 01 iew xom. Mr. DeWitt said it was not their intention to disturb tb title of tho Company, hut this pior has been oponod to thi public fur a great many years.

Mr tterrfipout daid the managing direotor had leased Mr. DeWitt replied that for many years the city has tho dockage ou it. Mr. Peckham naid some four years ago the Stroet De rarlmt forcibly toolt pomeBidan of it. Mr.

Pierrepont said it woiA destroy tba Pn for ferry purposes to build an "eli" there, and it would be inoumbem mi tee Company to protect their franchise. They wanted to build a slip there immediately, and the only delay was occasioned by seeking similar accommodations on the New York side. Mr. DeWitt urged if they were not in immediate need of tho dock that they should place no obstacle in tho wiy of eptablishiu a lino of steamers between Brooklyn and tho great hues of travel. Mr.

Pierrepont said he thought it would bo the duty of tho Ferry Company on the part of the public to oppose the landing at the foot of Fulton street. Mayor Hunter said it was Mb great desire that the line of steamers should be established for the accommodation of the public, without interfering with the rights of others. Mr. DeWitt remarked that it waa a wretched thing that so large a city as Brooklyn, with its five hundred thousand inhabitants had no connection either by water or bind with the great lines of travel. He asked Mr.

Pierrepont, if the Common Council should make an ordinance establishinff tbe landing with due deference to the rights of the Ferry Company being observed, should they object? Mr. Pierrepont I am inclined to think the directors would oppose it as a dangerous obstruction. Mr. James Hiiwft. another director of the Union Ferry Company, 1 assured the Committee that thoy objected only in tho 1 Interest of public safety.

It was their nrst consiuera I tiou to accommodate the public oud secure for them i the u. of tbe ferryboats with the greatest safety, des patch and at the least coat. It should be remembered that the directors of the Company had a gray rospousi bility. THE PRESEEVATION OF LIFE was the source of great and constant care to them. Now, at the very time, the large boats of the Albany 1 would umke their landing at foot of Fulton street, between the hours 7 A.

M. and 8 A. each ferryboat would ba carrying across tho river from COO to 1,000 pasfengcrs. Any additional impediraeut thrown in tb ir way was a very Berious consequence, delay of a 1 few moments caused traflc to accumulate. It was their duty to lettsen the chances of collision.

They would noi do uoing tnat it tuoy favored the establishment of a landing at the fool of Fulton street. His Honor, the thought the petition could be granted without interfering with tho Ferry Company, and ho hoped it would. THE TWO OBJIOTIONS STATED.

HALL 4 SON, 849 Franklin av. aear Qreeoe. EAGLE OFFICE, FEBRUARY 5, 18T5. THE EXPLOSION. Complete Report from Notes Taken on the Spot.

The Coroner's Inquest Statement of the Djingr Conductor Statements by Citizens who Warned the Conductor of the Danger Description of the Sad Scenes. The nccideiit on the Hempstead branch of the Southern Railroad of Long Island, which happened on Wodncpday evening, and by which four pfcrsonH wore killed outright aud a fifth if expected to die every hour, was the saddest calamity which has occurred on ihc Island in many yeura. It Is by far worso than the accidents which happened on the Long Island Railroad at Van Wyck and Willow Tree. The storm which prevailed throughout Wednesday melted all the snow on the ground and set tho ice in tlie highways afloat, places whero water has never Bcttled before were submerged Bevernl foot, and it was possible to propel a boat on some of the highways. That the Btorm was tbo cauee of tho aceidont there can bo no doubt, and tho best of Hempstead are determined that tha responsibility shall be placed where it belongs.

Tho water had collected on cither side of the track, at different points botweon Hempstead and Valley Stream, and the conductor of tho train, David Rancour, felt ularmcd for its safety throughout thowholo day. In making the usual connection trips to Valley Stream ho ro rpiently Btopped between stations to examine the condition of the track over which the wator had settlod. He telegraphed to John J. Barr, tho Assistant Superinten dent, that he considered the road unsafe, and Barr replied that he should run Blow and careful. Barr also telegraphed to Sir.

McLaughlin, tho Track master, to oxamino the road and sou if it was Bate. McLaughlin ia said to have got thie telegram in the afternoon, but deferred making tho examination until before tho last trip. Rancour became ao fearful of danger that he sent a socond telegram to Barr later in 'the afternoon, and he received orders from him to hold tho train until ho (Barr) arrived at Valley Stroam, when ho would go over the road and inspect it. During all this time the water had boon washing the earth from beneath the track, and it was made dangerous for travol at aoveral points. Tho most dangerous placo was at Woodfleld, a small Eettloment between the Hempstead and Norwood stations.

Adjoining tho track is tho farm of David Bodoll. The railroad runs through a Ave acre lot on hia form, in which, nufi near tlio traok, there is a natural Bottlomeut of water, and when the railroad waa built, a clay pipe of fifteen incheB in diametor was laid beneath the track in a position to carry the water to a brook on tho Bouth Bide of the track, which ultimately empties, into ono of the large pondB that eupply tho Brooklyn reservoir. More than ono foot depth ot water wag never known to accumulate there bofore. On Wednesday morning, at nino o'clock, the water in tho field began to rise, until it measured iu depth at least ton feet. The fifteen inch pipe carried off all that its capacity would permit for a time, but tho wind blew the water into small waves, and the earth from the top commenced settling to the bottom.

Soon the pipe had become Btopped, and the water rose higher and higher, until it swept over tlio top of the track and carried away tho oarth at both Bides at the same time. At throe o'olock tho water became so high that it reached Mr. David Bedell's third step, and another ton Inches would have fillod his houso. He pulled up his carpotB and prepared to move out. Suddenly tho water began to lower, and in less than one hour had sunk about two foet.

The effect it had on the railroad was to leave a large hole between the tracks, whioh became larger aa the water lessened, the dirt once loosenod falling with tho water. In making tlie half past four run from Valley Stream to Hernpstoad, the engineer observed the chasm and stopped the engine. Tho ew passengers on the train got out and viewed it. The conductor decidod to cross, and, fearful of an accident, the passengers clung to the Btops, ready for a jump. Tho train crossed iu safety, and continued its regular trips both ways until ball past seven.

On the six o'clock trip, Barr and Roadmaster Thorp went over the road, and MoLaughUn went over it in a handcar an hour before Barr and Thorp examined the road at Bridgeport and Norwood, and strsngo as it may seem no attention was paid to tho Woodfleld seetion. On this trip, too, the train passed in safety, At eight o'clock the train again left Homp9tead for Volley Stream, having on board Barr, Thorp, two trackmen, the brakeman and conductor. In the cabin of the eu gino wore Scott and Callaliou. It roquirod about eight minutes to run to Woodfleld. Before reaching Wood field the conductor told Barr that he considered the place dangerous.

Barr told him to run slower, and he stepped to the platform to order tho brakes nut on, but before he could speak tho engino and car had fallen into the chasm, the boiler exploded and he was bent serosa ono of the tracks. Tho only thing he romemborB is that he was struok several times by falling missiles. Barr and Thorp were soated togother. A pieco of iron Btruck Thorp in the chest, and the escaping steam and hot water scalded him to death before any assist tanco could be rondered. Barr waa thrown from his seat to tho other ond of tho car, escaping with a severe cut in tho head, which stunned him for several moments.

The explosion Bent pieoes of iron flying in all directions. Nothing was left whole of the locomotive Bttvo tho whochj. Tho car was literally splintered, both ends aud the roof being torn away by tho explosion. Every window and shade wore broken out, and not a shred of tho floor Tomained. Such complete destruc tion cannot be fully described.

The body ot Scott, the onginoer, was found beneath a portion of the cabin about twenty feet distant. The fireman's body, Callahan, was beneath tho bursted water tank. He was drownod in the water, nnd not killed outright by tho explosion. The body of Bonjamin Carman, tho brake man, was beneath tho car roof, astride tho track. These four were pickod up dead.

Parsons, one of tho traokmen, was badly cut in tho head and had his shoulder disjointed. The engine was "of that olasa known aa tie Tank engine." Sho exploded once before at Valley Stroam. Tho doad bodies wore taken to David Bedell's barn, and stretched on Iooso huy and corn stalks. The arms were folded across the breast3, and white clothes wero tied around the hoade aud cbins to close the mouths. The bodies or Scott and Carman wore badly mangled, and only held togethor by the clothing.

Coroner Hicks, instead of impaneling a jury on the spot where two hundred men wore congregated, went to Hempstead and consumed tho better pat of the forenoon in getting a jury. At noon tho bodies wero viowod. Then tho scene of the accident. After this the jury walked half a mil to tho house of Mr. Jarvie, where the conductor had boen conveyed for treatment tho night before.

In a cozy little room ho was lying on a foathor bed in a oot, suffering intense internal pain. His face iB cut, black and swollen. Coroner Hicks admini stered the oath to him and he gavo tho following important estimony TESTIMONY OF THE DYING OONDUCTOB. My name is David Rancour I was employed au conductor on the train wrecked last night I left Heinp Btead at 8 o'clock, and we wero about eight minutes running to whore the accident happened I spoke to Mr. John Barr, Assistant Superintendent, about the condition of the track ho told me to run Blow and bo careful I stepped out on the platform to tell the brakeman to hold the train, but before I could Bpoak to him the car fell through the chasm, ond I was wedged across one of the wheols, and things began falling on me the locomotive wae behind the car, running toward Valloy Stroam we had to run that way beoause we could not shift at Hempstead on acoount of the water there were no passengers on the train I anticipated danger; the water was running through the pipe underneath the track very freely I was satisfied that if the water got working around the pipe it would mako trouble I telegraphed early in tho day to the Superintendent that the road was washing away, and that I would have to land tho passengers a quarter of a mile outside of Hempstead Village Superintendent Barr telegraphed to Mr.

McLaughlin the trackman, to examine the tracks, and he did so before the last trip there were three quarters of an hour between the last two trips during the day I stopped several times to examine the tracks my idea is that a large cake of frozen earth held the track's in position and prevonted us from seeing the part washed away, and that the weight of the engine and car made it cave thie last trip was run for passengers, but particularly for repairs for the road on the train wore Mr. Barr, Mr. Thorp, Jwo traokmen andmysolf thore wore no passengors; it was about ten minutes past eight when the accident happened Barr telegraphed to me to hold my train at Valloy Stream until he came up to examine the road Mark Brier, the master mechanic, was with him wo examinod the brldgo at Norwood no attention was paid to the place where the acoidont happened, as tho water waa running through very free I do not know whether the car went through first or not we were running at the roto of fifteen miles an hour. WHAT SOTEBVISOB SNEDKKEE HAS TO SAY. Supervisor Sncdekor was in Jamaica on Wednesday afternoon.

Ho went to his homo at Hempstead by the Southern Railroad, and the Hempstead branch connects with it at Valloy Stream. Ho stood in tho rear of the passenger car, and when he passed Norwood he saw the dirt under the track washed away to such an extent that a barrel would not fiU the hole. He told the conductor that it would be unsafe to run over tho track again. David Bedell says that he went out several times to look at the track, fearing danger. When he heard the last train go up he felt at easo, and prepared to retire.

The train did not come back on a regular trip, and as ho heard tho whistle he felt something in his heart telling him that thero would bo an accident. Before he could reach the sitting room window to look out, he heard tho crash and then the explosion. Hia houso ia about five hundred yards from tho track. A pieco or the looomotive's cabin struck the house, and pieces of iron and wood wero scattered all over the farm. Superintendent Barton and Genera! Manager Pop penhusen wore on the ground at ten o'clock.

At noon the wreckers were at work, and after pulling the rem fmnla of the engine out of the chasm, the car and debris was fired aud rcducod to aehes. Tho rail on the north Side of tho track was broken into several pieces, while the south rail bent under the weight of the locomotive until it formed a perfect 8. Coroner Hicks did not consider it advisable to proceed with the inquest without the aid of the Distriot Attorney, and adjourned it. to suit his convenience. The dead bodies were taken to Hempstead by Mr.

Powell, and washed and placed ia coffins, and sent to the homes of their families. Scott leaves a wife and three children. Carman leaves a wife and one child. Callahan is tingle, and his father lives at Jamaica. Thorp Is not known to be married.

He was formerly trackmaeier on tho Hudson Railroad. Rancour has a wife and child in Albany. Dr. Frost examined him and says he cannot recover, Tho damage will be repaired to day. To morrow the road will be running.

SUNDAY SCHOOL THEATRICALS. An excellent dramatic and musical entertainment was given at the Atheneum last night, un der the auspices of the Young People's Association of St. James (P. Church, for the benefit of the Sunday School fund. The attendanco was large, and the performances wero thoroughly enjoyed.

Church, Han eon place near Flatbush avenue. The occasion was Ihs formal ptiblje reception of tho Itov. Thomas WhiUakor, of Knrjlaml, tho eloquent and abla tempomicfl ftuTO oatv, in Brooklyn. The meotfug had bcrn under arrangement fir several day, and waa promoted by tha joint efforts of tho Tcmpcranoo Brotherhood of Christian Churches of Brooklyn, and tho Christian State Toinpornnco Convention, in sossion for the past two dayB at Association Hall. The nou.

Wuittafcor, Mrs. Anulo Witicimiycr, of PhU. uMphia, and several distinguished clergymen of Brooklyn were advevtisod to up oak. At half past aevon o'clock last ovening, accordingly, the church was crowded almost to suflocution by a ro Quod and TNTFJJACtF.NT AUDIENCE nf ladles and geiitlcmrn. Upon thft pisiform wre seated the Hon.

11. K. Hale, tho presiding ofllccr, ltnv. Dr. Budinuton, Hew Thomas Whittaker, Itov.

Pr. Cuylor, liov. Dr. Loomis, Rev. Dr.

Johnson, Mre. Richardson cud Mrs. Hart, of Brooklyn Mm. Butler, of Syracuse; Mrs. Wittoumycr, of Philadelphia; Mrs.

Hurt, of Auburn; Mrs. Seymour, of Albany; Mrs. Brown, of New York; Mrs. Ol fiord, of iSHUchuflptlH, and Mrs. Denuian, of New Jernoy.

The exerciMCH of tho ovening wero opened with operatic selection? on the organ, nnd the quartet "Rock of Ages" by a choir from tho Handel aud Haydn Society, under tho lend of Mr. Van SicUIou. Tho Itov. Mr. Luv.son, Secretary of tbo Temperance Brotherhood, read nclectious from tho tenth Vnalratt, which waa followed by prayer from tho Rev.

Dr. Hainan. Tho choir then Hang the temperance Hong, 'Wlno in a Mockor," at i no conclusion or wnien mo unairraan witn a rew appropriate remarks, introduced tho Rev. Dr. Budiugton.

Dr. Budington said that ho esteemed hinmelf happy to riee in respouae to the words of the Chairman, But the gentleman on whose behalf he rose had already been introduced to the American public. John B. Goiigh aud Neal Dow bad ictvodrtood liim in tboir commendations of bis services to the eause of temperance. For the fltbt tlnio women had come into convention with Till? CHRISTIAN OnCBOTIEB for this cfitiBo.

and Mr. Whittalicr wrh present to lend hia valuable a8intanee. That eauso would succeed. Woman's heart had succeeded in the terrible war ut thn rebellion, in which slavery had bi cn abolished, nd it ruuHt succeed hero. Thero might be aud occasional failures, but dual victory would perch up.ni our banners.

The revoroud gentlumau welcomed Mr. Whittaker on acoount of tho country from which lw came. England stood with America in a great, generous, international rivalry in religion, freedom una tftin pnrance. Tho two greatest uetions of tho earth worn the hope of tho world. Ho extended tho right hand of fellowship to tho guest and avo him cordial greeting.

The distinguished guest then came forward and Ui that ho was not much to Hub nort of thing. Ho regarded himself aa a little boat, uafo enough when near the land along phure, but when ho ventured out to soa. in danger of being swamped. Ho almost viahed that ho hod not so good a character aa had been ascribed to him here. IU was reminded of a Borvant who on applying for a wan asked for hfs character or certificate, repliod that his lato maator had told that, perhaps, he WAS BKTTEH WITHOUT IT.

Had he eomo unheralded lie might havo got on very well, but now since he hud been so highly flattered that too much miRht he fearod bo eipocted of him. Ho had not. he said, oome to knock off heads nor open oyes with a crowbar or an oyster knife. He had rather uouio to assist in working out God's will in the cauao nf temperance. Ho hoped to produce something of thought and reflection In his work.

It was an aud homely adugc in his country that when you began thinking you would stop drinking. Tho speaker said that strong drink was a delusion and the public house a snare. It waa a lie and was loo easily believed, A lift waa the fastest trotting horse in America. The rood was made for it and it could go a mile while truth waa putting on ita boots. He had formerly believed tho he, it had such a start of truth; bocause he had been thoughtless, but ho bcau thinking and atoppsd drinking.

Forty yoars ago, oftor attending a public temperance meeting, he had closed au account with the ltauor shop and opened one with tho pump. Since then he hal got on tolerably well. God bad since given him life aud health, and he had kept them by AVOIDING THE BOTTLE. God had given him a houso to live In and hehop(4 keep it In good order. This he would do by avoiding liquor.

There wore more storms in the grog Bhop than at sea and more destruction In tha bottle thuu in tha winds of the heavens. There waa a great deal of quackery about Hqlior drinking. Men drank it to make thorn strong and bravo and enduring, thoy said, but do thoy wish to ba than the elephant, which drinks water, or braver thnn tho lion, or more enduring than the horse, both of which drank nothing but water. The spoaker had onco made a speech in England. in which ho stated that man waa about the only animal that would drink alo, ccrtatnly the horse would not.

The neit day lu was passing by the public inn, in front of whose door thero waa donkey and cart. While passing, he bnarrt the other partner of that firm, who and bcon accosting him. "Here," ho said. "Mr. Teetotalor, you said last night that horses would not drink alo.

Just lojk a hero, and nee my donkey drink ale." Tho man had a ioaming mug of ale in his hand, which ho thna off i red th donkey, and suro enough it was drunk up by him iu tho midst of tho LAUGHTER AND JEERS. of hih master and his friends. "Excuse me," I satd to the owner of tho cart and donkey, "I never said tbat donkeys would not drink alo. On the contrary, I bebovo they are tho only creatures that will drink ale." When it waa a little cold, xnon would tuka a drink to keep them warm. When it wm a warm day ia Summer the same men would take a drink to oool off.

This was blowing hot aud cold with a vengeance. If you travel you drink, if you get married you drink, if you have children born yovi drink, if they dio you drink, and you drink on all possible excuses. This waa the epidemic of drinking. You have tho liberty to drink without doubt, but remorabor tha ooat. At the conclusion of Mr, Whit taker's remarks the Rev.

Dr. Curler stepped forward and naid ho knew that Brooklyn would delight to hear tho lecturer who had just spoken. On Wednesday of next week Mr. Whittaker would deliver a lecture in the Lafayette avenue Church, and he should be very much disappointed if crowded houBO like this one wan not tho r03Ult. Before sitting down Dr.

Cuylor said that he had a resolution to offer, and he woe sure that it would be passed, uamsly Hc.aotvcd, That all present give of their substanco according to their means, In a collection about to be taken up for the benetltof the temporanco causo. The Doctor thou gave way, and Mrs. Wittenmyor took the Btand. Mrd. Wittcnmyer said that women rcalizod dospty that thoy were in the midst of A FEARFUL CONFLICT.

A crisis had arrived in tho history of tho country. Appetite and avarice were at work. True men had ul tnont lost heart st tho sight of iho social evils consequent upon op on drinking aaloona. At last God bad sunt tho spirit of prayer upon woman and the work wan going forward and courage was being roused. Noarly four millions oi true hearted women were engaged in praying against the rum seller, aud such a voice and volume of prayer had spread over the land from shoro to shore, as never had bcon known before.

It was nut strange to tho speaker that woman had been chosen by God as tho instrument ovor all others in this yrett work. Sho had Buffered greatly from tho ovlta of intemperance. Beside, alio was spucially fitted by reason of certain qualities, as courage and faith, possessed by her. Woman had bcou called weak, but it must bo lomom bercd that it was through the weak that tbe Lord chos to confound tho mighty. If the groat object in view could be obtained, woman could well afford to submit to the indignity of being considered weak.

The speaker said that sho had recently informed tha Finance Ooinmittce of tho United States HonaU that tho women had suilerod so greatly during tho past yeanu thai they had rebelled aud now were in a position to control the situation. To them was intrusted the training and brooding of THK NEXT GENERATION of voters. The mothers made the hoys and oven anothtSf decade would iot see that it could be possible khat liquor should be sold under tho dome of the National Capitol, and but a few years yet remained before a political party would And Itself hardly Justified in ignoring the prohibition question bs at present. At the conclusion of Mrs. Wittcnmyer 's address tha meeting adjourned with tho singing of the doxologjr and the pronouncing of the benediction by tba RV.
