"Chicaflto' Duvara ten, and several bowls of the lattors cobrated 'amip are pending the issue, inasmuch, as tho losing fide will furnish hot soup for tbe party at the close of the match, Sammy giving the winners mutton sonp and Duval beef. Hot soup is good to fake nftcr a match on the ice, and there will be a close fight to win on both sides.

Duval propnsee that the performance of tho "Sea of Ioe" at the Capitoline on Wednesday, shall be done by "soup erB." The sides, therefore, would be Mutton vs. Beef. Fine Bport Is expected.

In the iceboat regatta at New Hamburgh, N. on Saturday, the Quickstep won the first prize in the first class race, and the Flying Cloud the second. In the second class race the Qui Vive won the first prize, and the Whiff the second. In the non active member race the Zephyrs won the first prize, and tha Flying Cloud the second. The time was poor, on account of heavy, burning winds.

The quickest time was SX miles in 4 minutes. Skating. The Sport on Saturday. The severity of the weather lessened the attendance at the Bkating resorts on Saturday, though there was a numerous crowd of ladies at the Capitoline Lake, among thorn several Jwho were quite graceful in their movements. Among the crowd at the Park Lake was Mr.

Corwin, of Dr. Tal rn age's Church, with several ladies, as aUo quite a number of the residents7 of Park and Prospect place. The ioo was in fair condition, but it wanted sharp skates. The weather was too cold at night for enjoyment, and the skaters on the lake could be easily couuted. To day the DeKalb avenue M.

E. Church Sunday School visit the Capitoline Lake. an earlier hour of ths evening. lie said that ha had been detained an hour at Fulton Kerry by tbr ice. and was now prepared to advocato the completion of the Bridge as Boon as possible, especially as did r.ot own a dollar's worth of property in Brooklyn, nor paid a cent of taxes.

The spoaker then want on to aay lhat ho feared that tho unusual advantages which the Sunday School teachers of Brooklyn onjoyed might fend to make them less active, unless they wore improved with the propor spirit. Too much help in studying the lessonB might tempt them to neglect proper study on Ihclr own behalf, and thus raako them Indolent, and though thoy were not lame, yet, having crutches, give tho appearance of lamoaeBS. They must let tbn sink down deop into their souls, and be cume a part of their being. Dr. Iteid then ald that the topie or bin remarks would be Caleb's inheritance.

wMch trrma the subject of Ihe lemon for tho 31sl Inst. Tim narrative is found in the book of Joshua and is exceedingly interesting. Caleb was tho coadjutor of Joshua, and at Iho time of the narrative was, according to hia own account, 85 years old, and yet waa as strong a over he w.is, and was perfectly able to go up against tho sons of Anak who possessed that part of tho Land of Prninise which ho desired for an Inheritance. At tho timo when ho appears before Joshua thoy were both old mon. Forty flvo years before, whon Israel stood upon tho bordors of Canaan, Joshua and Oalob had been sont out with ten more to rcconnoilre the oountry to And out its character, the people who dwelt within its bordera aud their condition in a military point of view.

They went through the land, performed their duty, andmado their report to Mosos. Ten of them brought back a discouraging account, and described it as not worth possessing, sg niled with a powerful people and many strong cities. Caleb and Joshua, howover, it as a land flowing with milk and honey, and for its mighty mon and strong cities they exprosBed their faith in Go J's promise to assist them in possessing the land. But the report of the ten was believed by the people, who had become timid, and oriod out against Moses, whom they said had led thorn out of Egypt to perish i tho wilderness. It was no small thing for those tw inon to stand out against the aentiment of a whole peoplo, and shows their unusual courage and faith lu tho power and promise of God.

And He remembered thorn and came to their assistance. Then wont forth that terrible ourso, that none of thoBS timid unbelievers who were over forty years of age, should inherit the land, excopt thoso two men, Caflb and Joshua, whose faith was rewarded with tho promise that they should be among thoso who should enter into tho Promised Land. The ton looked at it through their fears, but tho two, rqgardod it in tho light of God's promise As a vessel with its sails sot drifts with tno wind, so Caleb drifted with the promise of God. no braved disgrace and lose, by his faith, yet how Important it Is to stand Arm as did Caleb. But now forty live years had elapsed, and in Ids old age, after the land was conquered, Caleb comes to Joshua to claim tho inhorilance which God had promised him.

He asks for t. mountain where, on that memorable expedition, they had gathered tha mighty bunch of grapes the grapes of Eschol. This mountain also contains a valley, that was tho resting plaoo of the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Doubtless these a6BOCiotions hod something to do with Oalob's desire to possess that particular portion of tho land. It was a wonderfully fruitful spot, aa that mighty bunch of grapes testified, and its wondrous fertility lasts to the presont day.

But, abovo oil, it had been promised bun by God forty llvo yosrs before. Through all tho dark and dreary wanderings in tho wilderness, bis faith hi that promise bad never faltered, aud now tho timo had come when ho could havo tho ftilttllmentof bin hope and truBt. But ho was very old, and it might Boeru a poor reward for a long lifo of faithful service. But where wero his former comrades? Their bonoB lay bleaching in tho desert, and only Caleb and Joshua were Each time that Calob appears hoforo ua In tho aacred record, it is in a manly way. He comes as the representative of hia tribe, advocating thoir claims to reward for their servloes, and at tho same time shows his faith and trust in God.

The epeakor then went on to show that in moat cases tho reward only comes at the close of life after Ions and faithful service, and iu conclusion oited the various historical Incidents which make this mountain afterward oalled Hebron of intorost to tho Biblical Btudent.

And further, provided, that if they shall be unable to furnish all of such information ot the next meeting, thoy are requested to supply the omiBsion at the next subsequent meeting.

And it is always uuderatood that in speaking of or referring to said agreement, tho specifications connected therewith are included. THE DEBATE. Aid. Strong said: The now storage reservoir was a subject attracting groat attention just nt present. Tho resolutions called lor Information which the BoaTd of Aldermen should have.

It might be that he could by personal application to the Board of City Works get all information concerning the contraot and the work done, in the matter of tno new storage reservoir; but ho desired that the Board of City Works should presout to them an official statement. There might be some points which caro for tho public good might BUggest had better be withheld from publicity at present, and therefore bo provided that "if, in their opinion, any of tho information hereby called for ought not to be givon to tho publio they withhold the same and state tbeir reasons therefor." Ho hoped tho resolutions would bo passed. Aid. Rowloy said ho didnt know that tho Board of City Works possessed any information on tho matter of the reservoir which should not be given to the public. Tho day was gono by when a few men could keep information to themselves which the publio ought to havo.

Ho didn't suppose that the Alderman from the Thirteenth Ward meant to do anything of tho kind, and therefore ho moved that his provision keeping back information should be strickon out of the resolutions. Ho hoped the resolutions would pass as he proposed to amend them. PerhapB, he said, thoy might be asked to contribute more money. Now, it was always suppoBed at the work Bhould.be completed under tho contract KingBley Koonoy. Aid Vnughan moved that tho solutions be referred to tho Cpmmittee on Water and Drainage, with instructions to report at tho next mooting.

Ala. Strong asked what was to be gained by referring them to a committee. Thoy were resolutions of inquiry addressed to a Board who alone could reply to the questions of inquiry. Was thero a man, he asked, In the Board of Aldermen who would staud up aud Bay ho didn't want thiB information, or would not allow those who did to havo it? Ho hoped not. He hoped tho gentleman from the Twouty seeouil Ward would withdraw his motion of reference.

11 was simply an inquiry, aud the Inquiry must bo answered, if nut iu tho way ho proposed. Aid. Vaughan said he misunderstood the nature of the resolutions, and ae they were resolutions of inquiry only, withdrew his motion to refor. Aid. Brown Well, as the gentleman withdraws his motion, I renew it, and for theBO reasons Homo timo ago I offered a resolution substantially the same reoulr ing the Committee on Water and Drainage to iuquiro relative to tho storage roservoir.

I saw the Commifi sionerB of Oity Works, and they expressod a willingness to appear before the Committee for the purpose of giving ull the information needed. Thero will be a meeting of the Committee next Thursday for tho purpose of hearing them. Aid. Strong Is the gentleman sincere when he says hia resolution is Mcntically the same as mine Aid. Brown I don't say it is identically the same, but I say it is of tho same import.

Aid. Strong I want to know if a resolution in a few lines comprises all the pointB stated in my long soriea of questions 7 If it docs I must say tho Alderman has greater power of condensation thau a Tiltou or a Beecher. Aid. Brown I don't aspire to be either a q'ilton or a Beecher nor do I proposo to go for Kingsley bcaiuso ho is Kingsloy, as tho gentleman seeing to do. I think tho reBolutiouB aro altogother too personal.

Aid. Strong I haven't interfered with tho resolution ofl'ered by the Alderman from tho Twenty first my resolutions go mucn fnrtner. I am anxious that the public shall know wlial changes, if any, have beon mado in tho specifications, and what provisions of the cou tract have not been liver! up to, whether the capacity of tho reservoir hns been tested, ami ir not, why it has not been. These are important Kubjects on which public are looking with tmxioUB oyoa. I don't propose Hut the resolutions shall be smothered by sending thorn, to a committee.

Aid. Brown I wish, the gentleman to understand that I am not in favor of smothering up anything. I shall go as far aa bo will go to luok through the sieve or bottomless reservoir, as he terms it. Aid. Strong I haven't called it bottomless.

Aid. Brown I think if the resolutions are referred io tho committee thoy will very quickly ascertain tho facts, and In doiug so will not go into personalities. Again, there is not an Alderman, except himself, who can remember those resolutions. If ho doosn't wish them to go to a committee, well, then lot them lay ovor and be printed in tho minutes, no thnt ull, having read them carefully, may voto understanding. Tho resolutions I consider are altogether too personal.

Tho inquiry could bo aaked for without drawing in namen. Aid. Strong remarked that it was necessary to name the contractors in order that the Board of City Works might understand of what contract they wanted information. Aid. Howell I movo thst the resolutions be printed in the minutes and made the special order of business at the next meeting.

Aid. Brown I accept that. Aid. Strong Bald he was obliged to oppose the motion. Strange rumors concerning this reservoir wero in circulation.

It was about timo thoy wero inquired into aud stopped by an olheiai statement. Was there any secret about the statement? Ho could go to the Board of City Works and get tt, and print it in tho nowspapera to morrow; but he wanted the information ofllcially. It was said that tho reservoir was now capable of holding ninotecn foet of water; and tho quostion hns been asked why was tho water not storod there? Ho was told that the supply was not ouough to store it; that all tho water running through the reservoir was needed for Immediate ubo in tho city. He was told this by an individual, but wanted to hear of it from the Board of City Works. He offored the resolutions to find out the truth, and shut the mouths of rumor makora.

If there was any truth iu tho rumors, the Board of Aldermen ought to know It. Aid. Ropes I do not boo any benefit to accrue from referring these resolutions. It is simply an inquiry directed to the Board of City Works. I boliove they will answer the quoatlons, and answer them Batiaf ac torlly, to this Board.

Home of the papers are teeming with all kinda of charges against the oontractors, the Mayor, the Commissioners of City Works, and every person directly or indirectly connected with this reservoir. Wo have read in eomo of tho papors that tho Board of City Works got up a wator for the purpose of getting more money from the Common Council for the reservoir. I believe nothing of the kind I believe that while the public continue using water as they have' this reservoir cannot be tested for want of water ana until it is tested all assertions that it will not hold water are gratuitous. It Is about time that this Board close effectually the mouths of all calumniators by passing the resolutions unanimously. Aid.

Howell I withdraw my motion. Aid. Rowley Let us have a clean inquiry lot thero be no secrecy In regard to anything. Aid. Ropes In view of the base charges mado against those connected with this reservoir, let everything be made publio let it oome to light.

Don't throw the odium on the Board of City Worka that there may be something which they want to keep back from tho public. Let it all come out and olose the mouths of calumniators. Aid. Strong I accept Aid. Rowloy's amendment.

The resolutions as amended wore then unanimously passed. PUBLIO BOTLDINOS. Aid. Brown moved Resolved, That the Committee on Public Land3 and Buildings in connection with tho Corporation Counsol, bo and they are hereby instructod to oxamine and report back to this Board, if under the provisions of the char ter.the city oan lease or rent any building or buildings or a portion thereof, to bo occupied as public ofheos, justices' courts, fcc, for a period exceeding the tor oi one year; also if the leases formerly mado and executed by the city for a term exceeding one year are valid. The Board thon adjourned.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS. Monthly Meeting of the Brooklyn Union i'lie Lesson For IVoxt Sunday Explained by Dr. Hudiiiff ton Address by Rev. Dr. Held "Caleb and Ills Inheritance" "Tho Reward of Faith," Etc.

Tho regular monthly meeting of the Brooklyn Sunday School Uuion was held last evening in the Hanson placo Methodist Episcopal Church, and wan as well attended aa all tbe meetings of the Union are. No matter what tho weather may be, one ia always sure to find a goodly audience in attendance upon theso gatherings. The services opened with Binglng, reading of the Scriptures, and prayer by Rev. C. Schultz, of the Moravian Church, after which Mr.

Israel Baker, the Prepi dent of tho Union, introduced Rev. Dr. Budington, of the Clinton avenue Church, who waa to explain the lesson for the ensuing Sunday. THE LESSON was founded upon a passage in the history of the Children of Israel, which occurrod shortly after their entrance into Palestine and their possession of the Prom iBed Land, after their forty years' wandering in the wilderness. The topic was "Ebal and Gerizim" and the verses of the lesson ore found in the eighth chapter of Joshua, and the 30th to the 35th verses, which narrate the erection of an altar and the Inscription of tho Law upon tho stones thereof.

Aftor narrating the circumstances under which tho altar was erected, and describing the scene, aB it may be pictured to the mind's eye, at tho prosent day, the speaker passed to the consideration of tho thoughts embodied in the lesBon. The altar was built of "whole that s. stones that wero not broken, and Bhowa that it was a monument intended to stand for agcB and that it was to bo a3 enduring as the law which waB inscribed upon it. Theae stone monuments were from their very nature and mothod of construction, very atablo in their character. In this connection and as to the stability of stone buldings the speaker citod an ancient abbey, in Devonshire, England, which is constructed of stones which were used in buildings that date from tho period of the Roman ocoupatlon of Britain, and some of tho old Roman cement used upon tho stones in tho first structure still adheres to them.

Some antiquarians have held, that if the ground upon which this old monastery stands was dug over, the explorer would find stones graven with old Roman inscriptions. And bo the stones of this altar erected by Joshua were intended to remind the people of tho wonders which God had wrought in their deliverance, and to keep in tbeir remembrance the law which He had given to them. There are different opinions as to what tho inscriptions were, that were graven pon these stones. Some have thought they were the chiof points in the history of the children of Israel, aa narrated in the Pentatouch others have thought they were the Commandments, while others hold that tho inscriptions oontained the chief points of tho Mosaic law. The monument was located In the same valley where are found tho remains of Jacob's Woll.

and in tho same neighborhood, near Mount Ebof, is the little white dome that is said to mark tho spot where Uie bones of Joseph repose. It has been thought thai if the tomb was opened, the embalmed body of Joseph would be exposed to view. A few years ago, tho Frenoh, who are always foremost in antiquarian researches, proposed to open the tomb, but the neighboring inhabitants Jews, Moslems and Christians, united in such a strenuous opposition, that the project was given up. It is the spot where the cbddron of Israel assembled upon this occasion to give their adhesion to tho law, which was inscribed upon the stones of the altar there erected. The text shows that the law waa read in the hearing of the people, both its BLESSINGS AND OTTBSINOS, and the poopKsigniffed by their loud they wore bound by both.

And right here occurs another point. All the poople were there, men, women and children. It was a grand and majestic scene, inculcating the lesson of religion and morality to the whole people. The principal teaching of the lesson, ia tho blending of blessing and cursing in the law of God. We must bear in mind tbe peculiar position of the children of Israel at this time.

They were just entering upon their possessloas in the Promised Land, after their forty years wanderings in the desert, and they bad to grow up to their new circumstances. Tho speaker then went on to say that Christianity is tha religion of tbe adult age of the world. Deep down under all religion, there must be the granite formation of Justness of the law of God. Wo come into Christianity out from just such a schooling as the Jews went through. The law of God is blessing or a curse, Just as we choose to make it.

After tho conclusion of Dr. Budlngton's remarks, the audience Joined in singing tho hymn, "Whero is the Hebrews' God," after which Johnnie Clark, of the Second Collegiate Sunday School, rendered the solo, (The Beautiful Gates Ajar." This exquisite and beautiful Bong was very well rendered by the young songster, who shows a remarkable talent for one so young. The Prosidont then introduced REV. JOHN M. RBID, D.D.

Proceediugs of Yesterday's Session. The New Storaga Reserroir Under Discns sion A Long Series of Questions Propounded to the City Works by Aid. Strong Snow on the Sidewalk, Zindel Park, Local Assessments, and Other Matters Biscnssed. The Board of Aldermen held their regular mooting yesterday afternoon, Jacob I. Bergen, President, in the chair.

A communication was received from' Jnstlco Remlor, asking that immediate repairs should be made in hia court room, to ronder it Baie. Referred to the Committee on Public Lands and Buildings. MUNICIPAL FINANCES. Controller Powell submitted his monthly statement for December, setting forth that the expenditures for varloua purposes pertaining to tho City Government during the year to date were $5,157,215.17, leaving a balance at the close of tho month, out of tho total appropriation, amounting to $351,914.96. In the revenue fund, at tho closo of 1874, there was a balance of $113, 121.82, and in the special fund, $334,619.95.

Ordered on file and printed In the minutes. TWELFTH PKEOINOT STATION HOUSE, A communication waa received from tho Police Department asVlnu to have leased tho building occupied as the station bouse ot tho Twelfth Precinct, and the top floor of the adjoining premlsoa, for a sleeping room, from Ji.iy next, at an annual rental of Ke feirod to the Committee on Police and Excise. HOUSES WITHOUT FM1E ESCAPES. Tho PoUoo Commissioners inforuiod the Board that there were 7,712 buildings without fire eacapcB. CLEAR THE SNOW PBO THE SIDEWALKS.

Tho following was received To the Honorable the Common Council: The conatant disregard of the ordinance directing that sidewalks thall be cleared within four hours after a snow storm, seems to requiro that some decided action should be taken bo as to put the streets and Bidewalk In a safe condition. Soctlon 13 of Articlo 6, city ordinance, authorizes the Street Commissioner "to remove any snow, ice or rubbish upon any sidewalk or gutter contrary to tho provisions of this article," and provides that tho expense thereof shall be receivable of the owner or occupant of the premises appertaining to'the same respectively," As very many serious aoddonta have occurred during the month laat past from Blip pory sidewalks, we deem it our duty to recommend the appropriation of $250 to be expondol upon the principal streets, with a view to teat the practicability of l)ii manner of making tho sidewalks safe for podestri ans. Signed Louis PAnsiEn, Presidont Board of City Works. AM. Ropes opposed the appropriation, because he did not deem that it was proper to take money out of the treasury for any such purpose.

Thero wore officers to report such violations of the city ordinance as mentioned in tho communication to tho Law Department for prosocution. Aid. Trowbridge was of the opinion that little could bo cflfectod in tho way of cleaning the streets of snow one block would consume tho wholo $250. He moved to lay the communication on tho table. Aid.

strong was in favor of granting tho appropriation. A great many sorious accidents had resulted from Blippory sidewalks and, it might bo feasible to induce property owners and occupants of housos to observe tho ordinance in the manner auggostod by the Board of City lie expressed a hope that the communication would be sont to sonio committee instead of being tabled. Tho motion to table was carried. NORTH SECOND STREET EAILROAD. Aid.

Petry moved to override tbe Mayor's veto in the, following resolution JieMlved, That the North Socond atroet and Middle Village ItaiUond Company be aud they aro hereby authorize and directed to construct terminus on First street, al the northwest corner of Broadway, under the supervision of tho Bjard of City Works. DEBATE. Aid. Zlndcl opposod the motion. He said the street in question waa widened for commercial purposes, and paid for by the people of the Eastern Distriot and the Citv of Brooklyn, which paid one third of tho assess ment.

There was not room there for two tracks. The Company was assigned to another place as a stand for their cars, but they Baid they would be Before they should go there." Aid. Dwyer I should liko to aek the gentleman from tho Nineteenth if this railroad threatous to run through Zindel Park? Aid. Zindel If the gentleman will put his spectacIeB on aud look over the Eastern District, ha can answer bis own question. Aid.

Bergen What did the Comiany aay 7 Aid. Zindel They said they woiild bo a before they would go to tho stand assigned to them. Aid. Hopes said the tendency in his mind was to override the Mayor'B veto, because ho believed justice had not beon done to this Company, which waa poor. Aid.

Brown Although not a member of tho Eastern District, I feel it my duty as Chairman of tho Railroad Committee, to pay something. I feel as the Aldorman from tho Nineteenth does, that wo ought not to givo "stands" in tho streets to any railroad company for their oare yet, in this caae, I am induced to agroe with Aid. Ropes, and give this poor Company which, ho says, has been driven from pillar to poBt, a "Btand;" aud therefore, am willing to vote for over riding the veto. Aid. Rowley raid since the Alderman from the Nineteenth (Zindel), had a park named after him, ho has grown ao aristocratic that he will not lend an oar to the cry of a poor corporation.

Aid. Zindel I movo as an amendment, Mr. Chairman, that tho park In quostion bo named after the gentleman from the Seventh Ward" Rowloy." Aid. Parker Baid if they should override the Mayor's veto, they would block tbe way to public travel" and oommerce. lie Bald it waa wrong, and the Board would bo condemned if they should vote for tho motion.

They would not get his vote to override the veto. Aid. Ray said the was too poor to have their own way. But their charter allowod thorn to go to the ferry, and it waa the duty of the Common Council to givo them some place to Btand. Aid.

Kenna said no matter where the Company was made to Btand their cars, they would be a nuisance. Yet ho recognized the fact that thoir charter allowed thorn to go to the Orand street Eerry, and that thay must havo some place to stand and swing thef rears. He thought, however, that the place given them by the Committee whose opinion waa vetoed by the yor waa the least objectionable. Aid. Petry spoio in favor of overriding the veto.

Aid. Ropes said, now that he knew this Company was allowed under their charter to go to the ferry that where the Committeo located their "stand" there would not be an obstruction to tho commerce and travel of tho Eastern Distriot, and that many members of the Board from there were in favor of the resolution, he felt bound to vote for Aid. Potry's motion, he therefore voted "aye." Tho motion to ovorride the Mayor '8 vote waa carried by 27 to 5. Aid. Zindel objected to unanimous consent.

BTBEET CLEANING BILLS. Aid. Ropes moved the adoption of tbe following: Itesolved, That the Auditor be directed to audit and tho Controller to pay the accompanying bills, amounting in tho aggregate to six thousand nine hundred and ninty one dollars twenty four oorita for cleaning streeta and removing the ashes, etc. for the month of January, which sum is hereby set aside and appropriated from the street cleaning account for that purpose. Aid.

Bergen said it wao claimed by tho Board of City Works that on the basis of the proposals recently received they were cleaning the streets nt much, leaser cost than under the old oontract. It must bo borne in mind however that at the present time in consequence of the streets being covered witb snow and ice, contractors had no cleaning to do and were Bimply obliged to remove obhob for which when used in filling low lota, they received a compensation. He believed that if the Board of City Works had advertised for new proposals, tho work could havo beon done muoh cheaper. He had no intention howevor to oppose the motion. Atd.

Parkor Bald he would vote "aye," although ho was of tho opinion that the Aldermen should hare something to aay relative to street cleaning because thoy had to bear tho hearing of complaints about a failure on tho part of street cleaning contractors to do what thoy agreed to accomplish. The motion prevailed. ZItJDEL PAEK. Aid. Dwyer moved that the Park Commissioners bo requested to oall tho Park in the Eastern District, known aa "Zindel" Park by sonio other name, lie gave his reasons for the motion.

He said at the laat mooting of tho Board he was taken to task by the gentleman from tho Thirteenth Aid. Strong and cen eured for advocating that a certain street should be named after a living man. Now, if the gentleman who censured bim had looked about him in the Eastern District, he would have discovered that there was a park known aa tho Zindel Park, and called after the Alderman from tho Nineteenth. This park cost the city four thousand dollarB. Aid.

Zindel replied that he was in favor of changing the namo. He labored to get that park for the people of tho Eastern District, and never asked nor knew that it was going to be called after him. He would bo willing that tho name should be changed and the Park be known henceforth as the Kalbilciaoli Park or Dwyer Park. Ho got blackguarded in the newspapers for that Park, and they christened it "Zindel" Park. He wished the gentleman from the Soeond to understand that Zindel was not a Curran.

Tho resolution was referred to the Committee on Parks. LOCAL IMPBOVEMENT BOND3. Aid. Ropea moved tho odoption of tho following Itenolved, That the Law Committee be and they aro hereby directed to examine Soction Six of Chapter 492, Laws of 1873, providing for a reduction of tho issue of bonds for local improvements, and report to this Board the necessary meaaures to be adopted for a propor compliance with said law. Carried.

beooklyn's public mabket. Aid. Strong moved ReHolvcd, That the Common Council learns with pleasure that tho Hon. Henry J. Scudder, of the Committee on Naval Affairs of tho House of Representatives has reported adverse to the proposition of a certain private corporation for the leaso of lands in the Walla bout, and has in said report alluded in favorable terms to the justice or propriety of recognizing tho paramount claims of the City of Brooklyn in cose auch Unds ehould be disposed of.

Scudder for his able and satisfactory report, and that he hereby Is most earnestly requested to favorably report the bill now In the hands of the Committee providing an exchange pf lands between the National Government and the City 'of Brooklyn. Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing resolutions, duly signed by hia Honor, the Mayor, and by the Olty Clerk, with the corporate seal affixed, be forwarded Immediately to Mr. Scudder, He eaid he bad seen in the local press (the Brooklyn Daily Eagle) the report made by the Committee on Naval Affairs and, with pleasure, read tho courteoua allusions therein to the City of Brooklyn.

Mr. Soudder had received, with great courtesy, the Committeo sent to Washington to look after an exchange of lands owped by the city for others belonging to the National Government with a view of establishing a publio; market on the latter. Tho resolutions were unanimously adopted. Aid. Strong then moved the following, which were also pasBed Resolved, That our senators and representatives in Congress be and they are hereby requested to secure the passage of the bill providing for an exchange of lands between the National Government and the City of Brooklyn, with tho viow of furthering the early establishment of a publio market at tho Wallabout upon the lands thus to be acquired by this city.

Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing resolution, duly certified and attested, shall be sent to the Senators of this State and the Representatives from this county. THE NEW BTOBAOE EESERVOIB. Aid. Strong now presented for adoption the ap. pended resolutions which propound a series of questions to the Board of City Works relative to the new storage reservoir: Resolved, That the Board of City Works be and tney are hereby respectfully requested to furnish to this Common Council, at its next meeting, the following information relating to a oertain agreement made between the Olty of Brooklyn, parties of the first part, and KingBley Keeney, parties of the eocond part, bearing date the ninth day of January, 1872, for the construction of a storage reservoir, at Hempstead Valley, to wit First What, if any, changes or amendments have been mada in or to said agreement.

The Testimony Taken The District Attorney on the Cftse Probability of Action" by the Grand Jury. Yesterday morning the inquest on the bodies of the lour mtrn killed at Woodficld ou tho Hempstead branch of the Southern Railroad waa commenced at Hempptoad by Coroner Hicks. Diatrict Attorney Downing was present to conduct the examination. The Diatrict Attorney read the sworn statement of Conductor Rancour. The first vritnesB called waa JOHN J.

BAHE, who te itified as follows: I am rat mu later on tho Southern Itailroiul; it is my duty to attend tho running of trains and act for tho superintendent in hia abBenoc; the Hempstead Railroad id included in thoso duties; on the afternoon of February 3, 1 was in the office of the Company; received a telegram from Rancour that the road was washing away near Hempstead; he did not think it safe, and wanted to Know what to do about it; it was then half past five o'clock P. the next train should have left Valley Stream at aix o'clock; I telegraphed Rancour to hold the train at Valley Stream until I arrived; I wont on the 6 o'clock train from tho ferry, and got to Valley Stream at 7 o'clock I ordered special train to follow we went on to Hempstead I left orders for the special train to remain at Valley Stream the train consisted of one car and the engine; the 6 waa omitted there were Ato or Bix passengers on the 7 o'clock trip we were about one hour running up to HempBtead I looked around and found we could not shift the train at. the depot the track was washed badly, but safe to ruu over no one made any protest against running back to Valley Stream and get material to tlx the damaged places; Thorp and myself stood on the roar platform; there was seven feet of water at Woodfleld; it was running through the tile water had been higher it was going down, and we thought it all right; I told Scott to back up careful the cngiuc was made to run both ways I told him to listen for thfi song, and when it sounded to stop we went out through the wah very slow a mile and a half from'Hempstead, Thorp and I went insido I eat on the right of tho car, Thorp on the left: he said. we must stop at Norwood and examine the bridge the conductor told me about the field at Woodfleld I fold him to take the safe side, and run slow or stop; snddonly the engine shot ahead pretty sharp, and the conductor put up his hand to pull the bell the car did not go over safe one end went up and the otherend down, and the engine went under the car and waa blown up all hands were blown up with it I bad an opinion that the car passed over safely, but changed it sincn. To tho CoronerThe conductor told me it looked ftafe there were three lamps on the platform I am of the opinion that nothing held it up but the frozen crust I wa silting near the engine; cannot tell whore I landed when I came to I was on the outside of tho embankment Rancour was in the cut, partially in the water he 8b.ou.ted for help I helped ono man out, who said he was the trackman.

A Voice That was rue, Mr. Barr," said a boyish looking individual, blind of one eye, with a cut on hia forehead and another on his chin this was Parson a. Witness continued I told tho trackman to go for help Rancour fainted a third man halloaed for help; I could not get him out it was one of the trackmen I then went to the conductor; the man shouted and I went back again when I found I could not get him out I returned and rescued the conductor I carried him up on tho road; I found another man in the field; do not knots' who hewas; I left him for dead and returned to the conductor; he begged me to take him to a house; I tl partly carrying and partly dragging him; I took my boots off in the house; soon I heard a whistle, "MY GOD THERE'S ENGINE, she'll be iu there said went out toward the track and met Mr. Rider; he told me that he had wrap a red ilag around a lanteru and set it in tbe track; Huler had found two men; I could not find tho fireman; I went to Valley Stream and sent a gang of men up there; Isent for the Coroner, and left orders for him to bare the bodies removed; 1 tben took the engine and went to Spriogf.eld; there should have been a culvert iuadi ivlteti tho road was built; the pipe was not eullicient to carry away the water; I think the water 1 worked around the pipe and got it out; no human power could have Btopped the flow oi" that water. To a Juror Did not stop goirg up where the accident happened; I etood on tho rear platform with the road master.

HOMER PAR30NS, I a trackmau, teMined: Had beau around tho depot; looked out for the track when the train was arriving; 1 heard no one enter a protest against going ou the. road; I did not understand where I waa coins: Trackmaatpr i Caesidy told ine to get on the train and stay there; he got on and then got off again; at first wo ran Blow, and then pretty lively; I stood In the west end of the car, leaning againBt the door; I landed on my feet in the water; when I got my head out I heard Harr ask if any one was alive; I hoard someone groan; Barr said we must get holp and light; 1 fcaid come and we'll get them; started for Norwood, and Barr and tho Conductor said we were going to Hempstead; I made no protest against going on the train. To a Juror I was down in the water; paw fire in the' engine; caught for breath in tho water; thought I was drowning. A juror stated for general information that the stoves iu the car wore blown to pieces. DAVID BEDELL, the owner of the farm wherj tho water accumulated, testified aA follows: It is eighty live paces from my house to where the accident happened; have lived there twenty two years, but never knew such a ilood before the water used to run away faster thau it did on this occasion; I never thought the pipe large enough; it has happened that water came as fasttso to be dammed up the water was at least seven feet high; usually three or four feet of water there in the Spring, tho water on the day of the accident, at some points', was nine feet the road bed iB wide.

The witness occasioned a great deal of laughter by relating how he agreed to give tbe railroad company i.1) feet of laud, and how they had gradually taken 50 or GO feet. He noticed the water up to Ihotimeof the 8 o'clock iraiu; I then went and examined the track; Iho water was gaining, and I felt considerably worried; th water was rising over the track; just ae the train passed my house going to Hempstead, my daughter said, "Father I hear a rush of water, don't I took a lantern and went out: when I came back mv wife said thru A must have been a break: at that tima tha water had lowered a foot; I spoke of the train to my wife, saying there was no danger for the night, the last train having passed; then I heard a whistle and eaw tho train returning; there were two men on west platform; the front of tho engine went down, and the car bent toward the engine; there was a nasn, ana saw me car ana root go up; cue trucks of the car ran back into the hole; fifteen minutes elapsed between my examination and the coming of the train; I think ray wife waa right about the breaking away of euiuniia cui, J. tJiHUipcu OU Uie CBJTQ Oetween tUB tracks to see if there waa a differont sound anywhere. To a JurorI wont down to the edge of the water; on the Bouth side it was three feet higher than the pipe, HENRY EI DEE, who has a farm adjoining, has a dam connected with his pond; at twenty minutes to nine o'clock there was a terrible rush of water; in ten minutes his pond had raised eighteen inches; when the railroad was being bnilt he objected to the use of the fifteen Inch pipe as being too email; had built a culvert thero at hia own expense, with 6,000 bricks, but it was soon swept sway in the Spring. ISAAC D.

BARTON tefitified that he waa Superintendent of tho Central, North Side nud Southern railroads. He oonsiderud Barr aod all the rest good railroad men. ALFRED LAMB testified I took the six o'clock train from tho ferry left Valley Stream aboutaeven Barr and others walked ahead of the engine part of the way I did not notice the spot where the accident happened I heard water running, and heard the remark made that tho engine was Binking I do not know who made the remark. Barr We did not stop where the accident happened; stopped east of Norwood to examine the bridge. At this point the District Attorney thought enough testimony had been takon to enable the jury to arrive at a proper conclusion.

A great many were ill at ease, greatly dissatisfied with the limited scope given to the examination. There was no effort to show whether the trackmen had beon over the road, or whether a track walker was employed on the road. A great many marveled at the ides of Barr and others walking ahead of the engine, if they did not consider the place dangerous, and had not been told about it. SUPERVISOR SNEDEKER's TESTIMONY was very important vet there waa an inclination tn close the proceedings abruptly. Snedcker'g name had been called, but there was no response.

He had gone to New York to transact some business, and hia clerk said he had not been BUbpenaed by the Coroner. The jury were left to deliberate. Harmony did not prevail, and it was agreed to adjourn until six o'clock to hear oneuexers testimony. is a local preacher, and In tho absence of the clergyman of the Methodist church he officiated at the funeral of Scott. His sermon moved his audience to tears.

He related that when he went from Valley Stream to Hempstead Scott stopped at the dangerous Bpot and ho got off, and both examined it. He told aeon mai ne woum Btana on tne step as they wentover, and if he saw the front of the engine sink ho would give him the signal to jump. Scott said, "No, Mr. Snedeker, if you do you'll get killed get inside." I persisted in my course, and we crossod in safety. He told them that if they rau over the road again thero would be an accl aent.

One of tho jurymen, Mr. Adams, remarked that Bne deckor had 6aid a creat many thines. but. Derhans.when he. came to testify under oath he would take them back.

Mr. uarr mauo nimeQir very agreeable to the reporters by passing them free of charge, and sending a tele grapnic trom vauey aiream lor a reporter who was going to give a favorable report in the hope of getting a continuous paaa. SPORTS AND PASTIMES. Base Ball. Another Game bN the Ioe.

Though Saturday was too cold for sport iu ball playing on the Ice, nevertheless quite a number of ball toesers congregated at the ball field on the ice at the large lake, and at 3:30 F. M. a game was arranged, sides being chosen by Messrs. Crosby, of the NamelosB Club, and Cassidy, of the Nassaus. As the curlers occupied the field in front of the Well House, Mr.

Hunt laid out the field in the centre of the lake, the poorest position possible for a match. When the curling space ia occupied tho next best place on tho lake Ib that where the first game was plajcd, as it affords spectators a chance to stand on the shore' and see the game. On Saturday the ice was very hard and it required sharp ekateB to make an impression, consequently thero were quite a number of fielding errors. But there were also several very fine plays mado and some excellent catches. The contestants in these ice games make the mistake of trying to play the game as if they were on the green field.

This will not do. Swift pitch ingt throwing to bases from the pitcher's and catcher's positions, and other peculiarities of tho regular game are out of place in a game on the ice. The pitching should simply be tossing the ball to the bat, and all the throwing to the baaea should bo that from in flelders fielding a ball to the bat. In running the bases all a player has to do is to cross the line of the base and turn to the right. If he tnrnB to the left and tries to make another base he can be put out in returning by simply holding the ball on the base as ia the case of running on a foul ball.

The game was opened by Crosby's side with a score of three runs on as many bat hits, Roche and Freeman putting the side out by good catches. On the other side three rune were scored by aa many errors. Quinn and Rankin making good catches and the latter a good throw to CroBby at first base. In the second inning the Crosby party were retired for a blank through the sharp fielding of Roche, Johnson, Campbell and Palmer, and as Cassldy's team battod well again, the score at the close of the Becond inning etood at 6 to 3 in favor of his aide. Van Tassel, Crosby, Den ham and Dodge did the fielding in this Inning, and did tt well, too.

In tho third inning Dodge went in to pitch, and in the laat throe innings the Crosby team only added three to their score, some good fielding being shown by Cassldy, Roche and Daly. On the other side two blanks were drawn, but tn tha fourth laniag the Caf sidy men batted well for four runB by aa many base hita. Dunn. Dodge, Denham, Van Tassel and Crosby playing well in the field. Burdock urn pi rod the game until ha was nearly froze, and then Bunce tried it tne cioae, xne score is appeuaeu CROSBY'S.

The programme of music and dancing contains thirteen pieces and is to be presided over by a committee of gentlemam who are a BUfflcieat guarantee of the enjoyment of the occasion. READING AM) CONCERT. Mr. Bernard Dierkes, the baritone and elo outioELiflt, gave an entertainment last'evening at iN'ileson Hall, corner of Fulton street and alb tin place. He was assisted by several artists, among them several of the most eminent talent of the city.

The eutertaiimiciit was a auocesB, "OUR FIRST BABY." Mr. Do Cordova will deliver his humorous lecture entitled, "Our First Baby" at the Pierrepont street Baptiit Church, to morrow evening. Thiii lecture is given for a deserving charity and the public houkt patronize it for the two fold reason that it will Tie jojable, and that it is for the benefit of a oause greatly in need of aid. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC ART. "'Twixi Axe anil Crown." Tom Taylor's historic1 piny, 'Twist Axe and was played at the Brooklyn Theatre last evening, with Mrs.

Kousby iu the chief role, the Lady lizabeth. Seeing Mrs, lioueby in the dress of those times, one cannot help feeling sorry that sho wasn't horaelf Elizabeth, or that Elizabeth had not her lovely face. It is said that the lack of such a face in Elizabeth, id its possession by Mary Stuart, cost the latter her life; and that she was sacrificed to jealousy. No woman poaaeased of Mrs. Rousby'a beauty need ever envy an other.

Mrs. Houaby plays the Lady Elizabeth with a smooth, easy intelligence that betrays good training and long study. We are unable to call it a great per formance, but must admit that it i. uniformly correct, aad in one or two scenes soars into theatrical effectiveness even if it fail to display dramatic power. In selecting for his play the date of the negotiations for Mary's Spanish marriage, Mr.

Taylor displayed his usual tact. For it is at this period, that all that waa lovable tn Elizabeth of England, waa shown to the world; and her own age at that time flta well the looks of Mrs. Bousby. Mrs. Roueby has few if any sins of conimsBion to offer the critic for censure in her acting of this part.

Her only drawback is a eiu of omission. She life and emphasis in her acting. She walks in Bemi listlessneHs through the earlier 6cene of an act, and seems to awaken to her work only when the climax is reached. The ploy waB fairly cast, and, for a firat presentation, waa faily played throughout. Tho language has a slight Elizabethan flavor, and the exact construction of Taylor' phrases suffered occasionally by the delivery of the actors; but the whole performance was superior to that given at tho Lyceum.

The play will be repeated thin evening, and no doubt this slight passing defect will disappear before thi increased familiarity that follows the first performance. It is a play abundantly worth seeing and hearing, and a Einglo look at the chief ctres worth five times the price of admission. The Park IVoTelcy Troupe The new programme drew a large audience to the Park Theatre last evening, though both theatres had a strong rival in the Charity Ball, always tho most popular of the Brooklyn balls. This second programme is fully equal to that of last week. In some respects it is a pleasanter one.

Wall street, February I). Gold opened strong this morning. Tho firat Balu was at llijtf, and sales were made at II4J be foro noon, in conBeqncnco of an advance In sterling to tlM'A Tor 00 day aud $1.80 for sight. At these rates gold can be shipped at a profit, and it in possible that thero may bo a small export by the steamer of tomorrow. It is aold that one reason why shipments ro cloaoly follow tho upward movementfl iu Exchange in that parties in London on whom bills are made will not permit an overdraft unlcsB gold bo shipped against them, and the fact cabled over.

Tho Block market openod ptrong, and iu the early trade there was a Blight advance upon the closing sales of yesterday, but early lu the call tho market becama heavy and worked off. The featuroa of the speculation were the decline in C. C. I. and a considerable break in Wabash.

Tho movement in the first named stock was caused by tho appointment of receivers of the franchises and property of the Company in the interest of tho first mortgage bondholders. Tho Pittsburgh, Cincinnati St. Louis Company have given notice that they will not horeafter operate the road under tho lease, because of tho failure of the C. C. is I.

C. to comply with the provisions of tho lease or to fund the second mortgages aud other indebtedness into certain bonds or stock. The C. C. I.

C. road ia now pretty thoroughly mired up in law proceedings and the stockholders will row likely lose all that thoy have invested. To tho stock was about as worthless Mariposa Laud and Mining stock both selling for tho samo prit o. Wabash was unfavorably affected this morning by the report that the 1st mortgage bonda of the road would bo foreclosed. Such a course is by no improbable and is part of a programme which wa.i suggested somo short time ago when tho elock first heau to decline.

Erio was affected in London by the resignation of Mr. Duncan and after opening hero at foil off to at the call. Pacific Hail opened at and was weak from the start, selling down to 33? before noon. I.aka Shore oponed at 78? and fell to o.niy iu tho call. North West waa also weak, opening at ami soiling down to 4i.

Rock Island was steady at 104. Western Union opened at 73? and eold at 727J oarly in the call. It is now reported that the managers of this lino will put the rates down to meet the roductiou made by the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph line. St. Paul opened at 37 and sold at early in tho call.

Union Pacific was eteady opening at 40, moving up to and baok to at the call. C. C. I. C.

opened at 8, immediately sold down to 6i reacted to 7X and wont off to CJX early In the call. Ohios opoucd at 28 if and sold at 28 at tho board. Wabash openod at 16 and sold at 15 beforo noon.
