Dr. Raymond, the Sanitary Superintendent, this morning received a communication from Dr. S. O. Yanderpoel, tbo Quarantine Commissioner, in reference to the case of the young man Stultz, who was removed from his residence, in Dikeman street, to Quarantine, under the circumstances fully detailed in ths Eaqlb.

Dr. Yanderpoel says that a pott mortem was mads on the body of deceased, that none of the characteristics of malarial fever were found, and tho medical attendants ooncluded tbat it was a genuine oaaeof yellow fover. Tho patient was quiet after his admission to the hospital until about six o'clock in the evening, whon be be to sing and became considerably excited, after which he fell into a stupid condition; hia eyes were injected but not watery, the pupil being natural; his tongue was bright rod and there was no vomiting; at death thare was a spurt of blood from tho mouth and nostrils. The body was Interred at Seguine's Point CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Aid lor the yellow fever Sufferer the South.

In The Relief Committee appointed by the York Cbaotiber of Commerce on Friday last to aid in soliciting and distributing subscriptions among tha cities suffering from ysllow fever In the South, met to day at noon with Mr. Henry Hentz in the chair, and exchanged views as to tho progress of the eflortB made in promotion of tbe object in view, some regrot was expressod that the individual action of other oommorcial bodies might in some degree Impair the effioaoy of the work of the Chamber, which aimed at consolidating the elements of commercial bonovolonoe, into a grand aggregate that would properly represent the munificence and liberality of the oity. However, oo operation in any form was duly appreciated. An erroneous Impression having gone abroad that General Bussey, President of the Chamber of Commerce, New Orloans, who addressed the meeting last Friday, was an ex Confederate offloer, it was deemed proper to remove that idea by making it known that Gonoral Busiey wob Chief of Cavalry under General Grunt at tbe siege of Yicksburg. Mr.

Hentz remarked that he bw by the papers tbat It was intended to cut off commnioatton with Yicksburg, with a view to arrest the spread of disease. He deemed the measure inexpedient while medical appliances and other supplies wore needed, and trusted that it would be modifiad to meet tbe exigencies of the oc aaalon. Mr. Guion concurred iu tflB vlows of Mr. Hentz, bnt did not appear to think th order would affect the uecessary supplies.

Among the subscriptions reoelved to day were ths following Governor lilden, $250; O. Vanderbllt, $250; E. D. Morgan it $150; Calhouns, Bobbins $100; Kuhn, Loeh $250; J. J.

Stuart $100; Ward Davis, $100; Oelriches $100; William J. Clyde $100; Henderson Brothers, $100; French, Edye $100; F. Alexander Sons, $100; Arthur B. Graves. $100; St.

John's Cnuroh, Clifton, Btaten Island, Frederick W. Barry $100. The appropriations made to day were: New Orleans, Memphis, Vloksburg, $500. A telegraph transfer of these amounts was to be made to the respective olttes at the Bank ot New York. Committee then adjourned.

SL'DSCKIPriOJiS IK BROORIiTN. The membera of the Unique Social and Dramatic Association, of this city, have opened a subscription list for the relief of tho yellow fever sufferers in Memphis. Subscriptions will be received and forwarded by Mr. Blumenau, Preaident of the Association, at 161 Smith street. The amount subscribed thOTar is $10.

Mr. Blumenau will report to the Eaqle whatever suoscriptions are made. ST. MATTHEW'S, Dedicatory and Aunivcffsary Exercises. Some Account of the Society Description of the New Secular School Building.

Anniversary nnJ dedicatory exercises were held yesterday In St. Matthew's German Lutheran Church aud school on North fifth atreet near Sixtb. Some fourteen years ago tho society was organized by Rev. Dr. N.

A. Sohubert ana the heads of twelve families. The present ohuroh edifloe, then au unoooupled publio school building, was purchased, necessary alterations were made, and the new ohuroh was formally opened for worship. The temple was only 31x53 feet, and could not sea', more than one hundred and fifty persons. The basement was utilized for Sunday and secular sohool purposes, but (he new building just dedloatod will be oaoupled as a day sohool after vacation.

On either side of the edifica wore two vacant lots belonging to tbe Society, which, like the lot on whloh the ohnroh stands, us oue hundred feet deep eaoh. During tbe six years of Dr. Schubert's pastorate the church made but slow progress. Ho was succeeded by Bev. William Heifer, who died a year later.

When ths Bev. G. H. Vosseler, the present pastor, accepted a call from the congregation seven years ago the membership numbered only thirty families. The church waa in rather a dilapidated condition and ths Sooiety generally was disorganized, as can be judged from the faot that but fifty children attended Sunday School.

Mr. Vosseler plainly saw the difficulties he had to surmount in order to build up the Sooiety, but the greater the obstacles which presented themselves tbe more determined waa he to overcome them. His first oare was to organize an efficient Sabbath School, and so marked was bis Buooess that he infused to some extent new energy into the doubting members of the congregation. Sunday after Sunday he told his flock that he Intended having the ohurch enlarged and a parsonage erected. The Society at first treated the matter as AIB OASTLE BUILDING on the psit of their pastor considering tha fewness cf their numbers and their comparative poverty.

Notwithstanding the ooldness with whloh tbe proposition waa time and again met, the minister persevered until he had oollocted money onough insldo eighteen months to warrant him in beginning the work. Inside six months a handsome two story and basement frame dwelling, supplied witb all tbe modem improvements, waa oompleted on the wast side of the edifice. At the same time twenty five feot were added to the rear or north end of the temple. In fiddltion a whole new front was butlt, galleries forming a semicircle around the entrance and extending up near the pulpit were constructed and were supplied with new pewa, as was the auditory proper. A new pnlplt was built, inside blinds were prooured for the double row of windows, the walls were painted and the Interior generally was deoorated.

Later on a new steeple was constructed, two bolls were purchased iron railings were put up and sewer, gas and water connections were made. Meantime the congregation increased until it now numbers one bnndrod and forty beads of families, while tha Sabbath Sohool is attended by nearly five hundred children. The new memborB, with the enthusiasm of converts, seoonded the efforts of their pastor, whose energy and application inspired those who had before doubted hia ability to make the improvements and alterations accomplished. So, when Mi. Vosseler announced a short time ago that a seonlar school building waa needed and that its construction would be commenced In time to have it ready for occupancy after vacation, he found but little opposition to the projaot.

THE NEW SCHOOL Is on i rear of the lot on the easterly sido r.f ths cjuroh, and runs from east to west. It Is a two story frame structure, adjoins the ohnroh and is connoctel with the parsonage, which is only four feet distant, by Jporsln a wooden feuot. The building is 24 ill feet. The at floor only Ube used at present as a schoolroom, supplied with improv54 fuMj 6apab1e'of aocommodatibg about ona ljundrad and twenty pupils. As there are only about eighty soholars altaoh ed to the school at present, tbe second floor was temporarily fitted up for living apartments for Mr.

J. W. Meyer, the teacher. The playground, wuioh is Inclosed from tho street by a large Iron fence, is pared with bnok covifted over with sancf, and measures' Blx76 feet The oust of tbe building, oompleted, Is $1,650. In connec tlon with tbe surprising progress mads by the society under the pastorata ol BeV.

Mr. VoaaMnr. ho I mentioned that that gantleman says that he does not despair of obtaining $50,000, whether by bequest or otherwise, with which to erect an imposing edifloe. DEDIOATOBT EMgOISEa were held in tbe new boUding at vTock lo the mortt ingreparatory to which Eevs. G.

Henniciof 5' n4 tUB "nbers of the congre gaiionSabbath andTecular fohools assemblad in tha basement of the edifice and offered up prayer. Aftor taking a last farewell of the old oohoot house, so far as worldly initruotlon waa conoerned, the participants formed in procession and marohsd around the yard before entering the new building. Pastor Vosseler was tbe first to roaoh tbe door, which he opened in tbe name of tha Trinity, and took up bis position at the toacher'Vclesk, with his associate ministers on either side. Tbe congregation sit in front while the services were in progress. After the reading of cpropriste passages from (ho Scriptures, prayer and tbe Binging of hymns, Mr.

Vosseler said that the ministers present consecrated the building by the name of St. Matthew's Lutheran Church School. He said tbat It was an Institution where children would receive a religious as well as a secular education. He then dedicated the building, melodeon, forms, desks and everything in the apartment for the purpoBes for which they are intended. A prayer was next offered to preserve tbe building for all time, after which Bev.

Mr. Wraaga delivered the dedicatory sermon. He said it was the duty of parents belonging to the church to send their children to tho school, waere the little ones would receive religious as well as a worldly instruction, in both the German and English languages. He offered tbe congratulations of the congregation of St. Paul's Church on tbe completion of the school and tbe prosperous state of tbe Society generally.

After tbe benediction the exercises came to a close. ANNIVEBSABY BEBYIOES were held in Ihe church shortly after the dedication of the sohool. The musical part of the programme was 1 nrnlBhed by a band of eight pieces and a quartet and chorus of fourteen voices. The usual service of the denomination waa held. Bev.

Mr. Grabau preached the anniversary sermon. He congratulated the pastor and congregation on their prosperity and counseled them to keep on in tbe attb and tbe Lord would assist them in the future as He has done In tbe past. The Sabbath School held anniversary exorcises In the afternoon. The children were addressed by Bev.

Mr. Vosseler, the Superintendent, who spoke words oi encouragement. He advised them to follow tbe example of their parents, to Btsnd by each other and build up the church and school. Appropriate remarks were made by tbe scholars and teachers. ing, preparatory to which Bevs.

G. H. BROKE HIS I.F.Q. Watson Apgar, a conductor on one of the Long Island trains, had his teg broken while attempting to Jump from his traia whon it was entering the Flatbuah avenue depot. He evidently missed hla footing and got bis leg under tbe wheels, as It was all but taken off.

Dr. Wild waB immediately called to attend tho unfortunate man, who, after the hurt was dressed, was placed In ono of ths traina and taken to Jamaica, whero he resides. Viae PlanoftUe Proposed Structure tu Connect tue Jtallroad Systems) of Long Island and New York. The project of a bridge across tha East River at Blackwell's Island, was started shortly after the inception of tho presont Now York and Brooklyn Bridge enterprise, but nothing has bsen done toward the accomplishment of the schemo save to draw the plans thorofor, and this has been done by the corporation known as the New York Bridge Company. The point of connection on tho Now York side would bB at the foot of 8eventy sevonth street, striking the Long Island shore in tbe neighborhood of Queens County, not very far from Astoria.

The structure will in reality consist of two bridges, ono on each side of Blackwell's Island and oonnected by a trestle work over the Island. It is Intended as a railway bridge, and the idea is to oonneot tbe railroad systems of New York and Now Jersey witb the railways of Long Inland. The benefits of each a connection are so apparent that they need no argument to in force them. Blaokwell'S Island divides the Eaat River into two channels. The bridge span over the Western, or New York Channel acoording to the plan unler discussion, is 731 feot at the base of the piers, and the Eastern or Long Island span, 618 feet at the baBe of the piers.

The longths of the trestle work over Blackwell's Island, between the two channels, is 630 feet. The approach to tho west or Now York span is a tresle work, commencing at the west channel shore, and passing over the intervening blooks to Lexington avenue, a dis tanoe of 3,500 feet thence undor Lexington avenue to Fourth nvenue and connecting there with the Harlem Railroad, and thenco to the Forty seoond street depot and tho system of railroads appertaining to the New York Central and Hudson River roads. Tho lntorveu, ing streets between the bridge and Fourth avenuo ara cro33ed by a trus3 bridge of 100 feet span. The Long Island approach la similar in construction and is 3,900 feet long, connecting with tho Long Island Railroad system, The plans contemplate a rigid or truss suspension bridge, with wire cables hinged at the centre of the span, and an arched truss on the top of the cables, from the hinge to tho towers. Tho floor systems extend from the tainted oantre back to the lowers, but do not abut against them, connecting therewith by a freely eUd'ing Joint, and thus allowing for contraction and expansion caussd by changes of temperature.

The height of eaoh epan at the centre is 137 ii feet, and 130 feet at the towers. The plans were designed by Walter J. Morris, an engineer associated with John D. Hutohinson and James Whipple Ship man, of the Company. It will probably bo some time before the structure is erected, but it is a thing that must come eventually, as tbe development of the Long Island Railroad system and tho necessity of bringing the great grain warehouses of the river rront in direct contact with the great trunk lines of the WobI wiil ultimately requiro a railroad bridge at the point indicated.

ST, PETER'S PAROCHIAL SCHOOL. Not To Be Turned Over to tno Board of Educutlon. Last evening the parishioners of St. Peter's pariah held a meeting in the hall of St. Peter's Academy, corner of Hioke and Warren streets, to take action in regard to the question which has rocently been agitated among them of transferring the Parochial 8obpo from the charge of the Brothers to the Board of Education.

The meeting was presided over by Father Fransioli, and wsb more especially called for the purpose of allowing the parents of achool ohildren an opportunity to TO EXPEE8S THEIR VIEWS in regard to the matter. After somo little discussion it was unanimously decided that they would support the pariah school themselves, without assistance outside of the church, and that tho idea of calling in the Hoard ot Education to their relief should bo abandoned. As the result of the meotlng the St. Peter's Academy will doubtless be continued on tho same bajis as heretofore. THE BRIDGE.

Considerable Commotion Among the Brooklyn Workingmen, They Don't Want Anj of tuo Brooklyn Money to go Into New York Pockets. When it was announced last week that the authorities of Brooklyn had decided to advance money enough to carry on the work on the Bridgo to the point at which it could be Buspended until tho oourta had an opportunity of dealing with Controller Kelly, without injury to the work itself from tho approaohing inclement weather, the Brooklyn machonlcs and laborers who had been employed on the structure saw a chance of a few weeks' work before the Winter season would probably render it impossible for them to earn anything. This morning tbe work was partially rooommenced, and inasmuch as any money now forthcoming mus come from Brooklyn, the discharged mechanics and laborers on this sido of the river believed that they ought to have a preference over their New Xork oola borers in getting employment. This morning a list of about one hundred men was made out, and directions were given to have the msn designated on tha list sent for, so that they might return to their work for a time, at all events. The Brooklyn men complained that in making out this list, what they regarded as their superior olaims were not only ignored, but that it seemed as if an actual preference had been given to the workingmen living in the New York side.

A large number of Brooklyn men assembled together this morning, determined to remonstrate against what they regarded aa a great wrong, and to hold those who might be reiponaible for it to account at the polls this Fall, If they oould. Ex Assemblyman Burns, of the Fifth Ward, was appealed to, to present the case of ths workingmen to tbo Bridge authorities. Mr. Burns, on his way to the Bridge offloe, met ths engineer in ohargs of the work. He atated that he had been instructed to put a oertaln number or men on, but in making out hlB list ha paid no attention to residence, nor was it feasible for him to do bo, Inaemuoh as be did not know where the men who had been employed reBided.

Mr. Burns thought as long aa the Brooklyn men were as competent as the others they should have a preference. Hi did not want any inoompetent men employed, but all things being equal, he thought, under all the ciroumstances, tho Brooklyn men should have a preference. Ho was sorry for the New York men, he said, but they oould bring their influence to bear on John Kelly, who was alone responsible for the stoppage of ths work at such a time. Mr.

Burns had an interview with Controller Burrell. Mr. Burrell agreed fully with Mr. Burns, and held furthor that he would favor the appointment only of Brooklyn men at either side of the river on the Bridgs under existing circumstances. He had done so, and would continue to do bo.

President Murphy was next waited on. Mr. Murphy aid that, as tha head of the enterprise, his chief de Bire was to bring it to a successful close. The enterprise had many good friends in New York who were not in sympathy with Mr. Kelly in this matter.

Bo far aa the work on the Brooklyn side was concerned and tha ohief work now under way was being done on this side he should certainly choose Brooklyn men, they being aa efficient as the others, as they unquestionably were. A large number of workingmen were awaiting tho result of these conferences. When the position of the Bridge authorities was explained to them they seemed to be satisfied. Some of them thought, however, that meetings of the workingmen of both oitlcs should be held, and it ii probabl that a meeting will be called for to morrow night on this side of the river. The workingmen meet the situation in a manly and intelligent way, and ara keenly aware of the real source of this trouble.

If their spirit prevails among the New York men, Mr. Kelly will not profit this Fall by hi unexpected and most eingular interference with work ou the Bridge at such a time as the present. Work Resumed TUIat itlornlnar. On the 10th instant 635 men, including masons, brloklayers, carpenters, laborers and other workmen were discharged from work on the Brooklyn Bridge, and, with the exception of the wire working gang, nothing has been done on the work up to this moroiag, when President Murphy ordered Assistant Engineer Martin to employ a sufficient force to square up the unfinished work on the arches and brick work on both aides of the river, so that no damage could done to It by rain or snow storms. The work of the kind on this elde will take in the levellog up of the brlok and stone work and the protection of tbe arches already Bet from the anchorages up to Vanderwater atreet.

The wire work yet to be done comprises the ruuuing out of the balance of the wire, wrapping and putting on of the cable bands. Six strands are yet to be made on the up stream cables. The men employed on this branch of the work have not been disturbed, and probably will not until it Is completed, as such work cannot, without great damage, and perhaps ultimate, be left inTTiilf completed condition. Acting upon President Muiphy'a orders. Engineer Martin this morning selcctod one hundred of the best men from the force heretofore employed and Bet half the number at work on this and the remainder on the other side of the river.

It la thought tbat fifty more will be added to the number in a few days. The funds to pay the hands bo employed will corns from the Brooklyn treasury, but what amount has been or will bo appropriated therefor Mr. Martin could not state all he knew about the matter was the orders he received from President Murphy to put on a force sufficient to square up the unfinished wurk. SiUISASCES. Indignant Citizens Before the Board of Health.

The Board of Health was occupied for two or three hours this afternoon in hearing tbe complaints of Indignant citizens in reference to the car stableB of ex Alderman Richardson, corner of Atlantic and Third avenues, and Van Iudensteln's slaughter house, in North Ninth street. The respective delegations were headed by Supervisor Quick, of.tha Fourth, and Alderman Kenna, of tbe Fourteenth Ward. In reference to the car stables, the manure vault seemed to be the principal cause of complaint, and the odors arising from it were pronounced "abominable" and "fearfuL" Mr. Richardson admitted that tbe smells which pervaded the plaoe were not such as are wafted from Araby, the blest, but he denied tbat things were as bad as represented, and be promised to do every thing in his power to abate the nuisance. Dr.

Cramer, on behalf of tbe Health authorities, promised that the matter should receive prompt and due consideration. In ihe case of Van Indersteitj stables, the residents of the neighborhood were equally indignant, snd Alderman Kenna said that something should be done to abate the nuisance. Tbe Commissioners ordered the proprietor to appear before them ou Saturday next, and show causs why his permit should not be rovuked. Thieves were busy in Huntington on Saturday night. A lot of carpenter's tools were stoleu from tho Louo being built for E.

B. Pitkin, and about J100 'rth of shoes wro stolon from jrdou'fl store, Tlie Cemetei as JEopu.lai Resort. The Charm for the LiYinsr In this Great City of the Dead. At all" seasons of the year Greenwood ia more or Usb of a resort for the public Its fame Is world wide, and visitors to the city do not think they have completed their round of objects of interest un loas they have taken a drive or a walk through tbe green paths and among the while crested hills of tho groat cemetery. The time has gone by when the remark of that pleasure loving Frenchman about tho attraction of the twin cities was true.

Ho said that, "tha only places of popular resort whloh be was shown upon a visit to New York were a park and a cemetery." We could show that oynlcal son of Gaul aay number of them now Coney Island, for instance, a watering place that even his beloved Paris cannot boast of. The poople have an affection for this beautiful resting place of ths dead. Men love to wander about the spot where tho ashes of loved ones rest, or whore great of tho earth have ibeen laid away to sleep. We love to wandor throug'a the aishs and transcepts of dim old oathedrals, under whose pavements lie the bonee of kings, lords and gallaut knights, aud think of the stirring scones through which thoy passod, of the record whioh they left. We love to stand over tho tomb of a man like SDakspeara or Milton, Dicitans or Thackeray, and muaoupou tho man whosa genius moved the smiles and tears of whole races of mankind.

It Is link binding us with the na3t to stand beside the tomb of a man who was groat 503 years ago. Through his we soam to look in upon that olden time.and note the current of affairs when he walked the earth, but thore is something deoper and stronger and more saorad than all this which loads us to tho apot where the loved ones who have fallen away from our side, who have grown woary of life's journey and have lain down to rest, are sleeping. It is this feeling, In a groat measure, that takes people to Oreenwood on a beautiful Summer's afternoon. Very many peo ple go because the quiet Bylvan beauty is chirm ing and restful after the labors of the wek, and a stroll through the shady alleys of tbe cemetery puts one In a better frame ot mini for the business of life that lies before him. The dust of oars seems to brush away before the breeze that rustles tbe loaves of the great cemetery.

Standing upon the sloping BATTLE HILL and looking out upon the magnificent view that is unfolded before the visitor, he gets an idea of the close ness of death to life that does not often come to man. Yonder lie the twin cities, with their million and a half of Inhabitants, throbbing with restless life, keenly olive to tbe world around them and struggling with desperate energy in the race in whioh they have en tored. Here all around you lie those who, a little time ago, were as eager and restless as those yonder, but now how calm and qnlot are they all. Life's roitlesa sea has broken upon tha unknown shore and its cresting tide lies in still white foam ad over these hill and dales. It was a wise selection tbat placed this home of the dead upon these lovoly slopes.

Wo, as a people, have no grand mausoleum like Westminster Abbey, where the dust of our great men oan be laid away. We are too new, too lately come upon the theatre of tbe world to have snob monuments, and bo we lay our dead in the sunshine, whore singing birds and whispering leaves and splashing waters and all tha gTand oholr of death's minatrelBy makej melodious and beautiful the place of thoir last abiding. There are other dull souls tbat go bcoause it la a curiouB place, and because of the morbid vein in tbe minds of all mankind, which leads them to look upon death. It is this class that Bteal the flowers that tho hands of affection have placed about the graves. The tame of SOME OP THE MONUMENTS that dot the hillside of the comjtory is one thing that leads many people to tho oamstery.

Who Is thera who haa not heard of the traglo death of poor Charlotte Candla, kilted by a fall from a oarriagi, upon tha anniversary of her sovantsentb. birthday, and every visitor to the oomctery desires to bo shown the apot wharo she lies, anl tho exquis.tely sculptures tomb that wealth and affection has reared over her resting plaoe. Upon pleasant days you will always Qud a group of visitors about the apot. There are so mauy Interesting monuments soat tored through tbe oemetery that it would be impossible to enumerate thorn all within the limits ot this article. It Is curious to note the changes that have taken plaoe as the yoirs go by, In the fashion of monuments.

Time was when marble was tho only material that was used, and tho simple slab or the pyramidal obelisk the only form allowable, but now the form3 and design? aro as various almost as the monuments themselves. The beautiful Sootoh granite has become a great favorite in these lator years. Massiveness la the chief characteristic nowadays of monumental architecture, and the delicate ohlsellng and fret work that are seen In monuments like Charlotte Caudia's have gone out of existence. It is too fragile for this climate. One monument In the older portion of the ground, not far from Battle Hill, that attracts from Its unique character, Is a simple mass of rough marble, just sb it oaino from the quarry, with the word, "Mother" chiseled across its surface.

It reminds one of tbe monument to Louis Agassiz, the great naturalist, in Mount Auburn Cemetery, near Boston, which consists of a hujze boulder, uncut and unpolished, just as it camo from the geologic strata of some PaUeozolc ago. Its only inscription is tho word "Agassiz," chiseled across its face. The aim in monumental architecture seems to be to get something unlquo in form and design, and new models are constantly being presented. THE VISITS OF AFFECTION are, of course, very numerous to the cemcMry, but there are fewor of them, on Sunday, among the mora stately monuments, than In the large public lots where the poorer classes have their resting place, and where a single family will lie in one grave. The friends of these people are too busy with life's affairs, during the week, to be able to vleit the cemetery on any other day but Sunday, and so It falls out on Sunday afternoon, that yon will find very many people scattered over tbe publio lots, as they ara called.

Follow after them la eir visits and you will find very many touohing and tender mementoes of affection. Simple and lowly they may seem by tho side of the more elaborate memorials of wealth, but speaking, on the whole, much closer to the heait. A simple bunch of flowers, common enough, perhaps, or some ordinary shrub, set out in a little jar, by the side of tho mound but it tells its own story. There are supposed to be certain regulations governing the admission of people on Sunday, but it Is more a form than aught else, and any person of decent appearance will find no difficulty in entering the oemetery. Yesterday the storm of the earlier part of tbe day, and tbe dark clonds that covered tbo sky until late in the afternoon, kept away many visitors.

But an hour before sunset the oemetery was exquisitely beautiful. The rain had freshened the grass and foliage and oleared the air, while the rays of the declining sun tempered it to an agreeable warmth. Across the bay ths Western skloB seemed aflame with molten gold, while the broad waters of the harbor shone like a sliest of burnished metal. There was a golden sun roist lu tao air tbat gave an exquisite tone to the distance, filling it witb a soft glow and radiance tbat would make tbe fortune of a painter If he oould transfer It to canvas. Ths last carriages were leaving the oemetery, and only a few visitors were atroUinR about.

A leoi Sabbath quiet came down upon the scone, scarcely a bird note was hoard, but there came the quiet that falls at eventide in country lanes and byways, as ths sun goes down, and all that broke tbe stillness was the distant rattle or the city tbat could not lotermit its roar even for an hour, but at the distance it fell hushed and softened upon the ear. Tho crickets began to oblrn. and ths aun went down, loaving a track of burnished gold In the heavens. Tbe sunset gun sounded from Governor's Island, and people turned their steps homeward, and aa the eaza rested upon those peaceful and beautiful surroundings whore tho dead rest, the thought oame that it was no wander that Greenwood is a popular resort. COURT NEWS.

Tbo flan Wbo Suffered from Cacsup. Before Justice Gilbert, in Special Term of allegations of Mrs. Wood have already been printed in the Eaue. Among othor things she charged that her husband in one night passed from the oategory of saintB Into that of the impious, and rapidly developed a Ipve of whisky and an Inability to withstand the intoxicating effects ot catBup. The defendant denied all these things in his answar, and averred that ha supportea bis family well, and that the real trouble was that of mother in law.

The matter was referred to Mr. S. M. Ostrander, first aa to the propriety of alimony, and then to try the issues. Mr.

Hugo Hlrsh represented plaintiff, aad Mr. Tho. O. Vermilye the defendant. Lawyers Accused of Conspiring to De Christopher Miller sued Eoswell D.

Hatch, Sarah C. Hatch and Eultle Beneville to recover $5,400, paid by plaintiff to Hatch Beneville for an alleged 00OO mortgage on premises on Third avenue, New Zorr. The allegations are that Hatch Beneville, taking advantage of their relations to plaintiff, who was their ollent, confederated, oomblned and conspired with Sarah O. Hatch to obtain the money from plaintiff for tbe use of SaTah O. Hatch by reprtsanting that the mortgage was valuable, aud on certain property, when in reality it was on other property.

Judge Barnard overruled a demurrer, and this morning defendants applied for a stay pending appial to the General Term. Justice Gilbert denied the application. Tor plaintiff, Fisher, Hurd Voltz, Alletred Fraud In a Brooklyn Heal Estate Transaction Unproved. Some time over a year ago the First National Bank of Coopers town, New York, brought an action against Jano A. Tamajo aud Frederick F.

Beals, both of New York, to sot aside as fraudulent upon the plaintiff, as a judgment creditor of the defendant Beals, a mortgage for $20,000 given by him to Mrs. Tamajo, covering eight lots of grouad, bounded by Van Brunt and Commerce streets in South Brooklyn. The action was seat by Judge Pratt to Charles H. Win field, to hear and determine all the issues aa sole referee. The causa was tried before him, some forty hours and eight or nine whole days beinj taken up in tha trial and summing up.

The referea gave tho evidence adduced before him a very careful examination, and reported that the mortgage sought to be set aside in this aotion was an honest and valid one, founded upon valuable considerations, and that the charges of conspiracy, connivance and fraud made by the plaintiff against the defendants wers in no respeot sustained, end were all false. Tbo plaintiff waa sent out of court, lus complaint being diitniae ed with costs to Mrs Tamajo and Mr. Beals, which bavs been taxed at $983.90. An extra allowance was also gfantod by Judge Bernard to the defendants. The case came up again tins morning, upon a motion made oy the plaintiff to cut down tha foes of tbe referee and to strike out from the costs and disbursements taxed by the clerk an Item of fifty oenta paid for express charges, and two or three other small items.

For plaintiff and motion, Estos It Barnard and E. M. Harris, cf counsel for defendants and against tho motion, James E. Chandler. The fires lau Litigation.

HEWITT'S COMMITTEE. Some lateresllna Points A'aont tbe Decay of lUc Ainerlc.n MtAtiiptiiff Trade. The Congressional Committee appointed to inquira into the oauses of tue present depression in trade and labor and the remedies tor the same, mot again this morning In tbe Post OfScs. Mr. Charles II.

Marshall, shipping merchant, was the first witness examined. He said I wish it understood that I am not a very large ship owner, fortunately, for nowadays the mors ships a man owns the poorer ho Is. I am oot a large capitalist, but I am a bloated bondholder" to a very smalt extent. Tha shipping trade was in its decadence. Long before tho war the shipping trade waa ia mortt nourishing condition.

Wo possossod forests close at baud ample for ship building cheaply, and were enabled to build ohoiper than any other nation, incroas lng our tonnage and making the American packet lines known throughout the whole world. A revolution occurred about 18o5, when it wts found that iron was moru desirable for the buildtuif of vessels than wood. We had very little development of our iron mines aud England had. She went oa building Iron vosss's and we continuid working lu wood, and she gradually outatrippjd us aud left us behind In tba rate. Then, again, alter the war broke out, tbe prices of construction iucreaaed, aud the navigation laws, which prevented Americana troin buying their ships abroad and puttlDg tbe American flag on tbem, Wo aro the only country that prohibits the purchasing of steamers and shins abroad, and running them under tho flag of its own nationality.

In 1800 tho ton nase of American vessels amounted to 8,921,235 tons, and foreign tonnage entered at ports of the United States 2,353,811. In 1B65 tbe tonnaga of American vesselB had fallon off to 3,943,601, and the foreign tonnage had increased to la 1847. America tonnage foreign nmjie 4.318.673. In, it)49, American tonmia 3.102,6G8; foreign tonnage 5,317, 654, and Irj 1879 tbe ton Dags of American vessels ralstcreu was 1,711,919, and forclzn tonuage entered in United States, 12218,365, startling increaio of foreign tonnage in seven years of 123 per and gives employment to 350.000 foreign ssllr Jfavjng that SMmti? dT 6it owu samou" (fuTmployed. Thslonnage of the coastwise trade has also decreased largely.

I see no resson. said ths witness, why the Anjericsns oould not bu.ld iron ships Just as cneaji as other nationalities. The oost of buildings wooden ship here is about $65 per ton. end on the Clyde an Iron ship can be built for about 13 or about per ton. The Introduction of iron Into the ship building trad and to these other causes, I believe, have led to the falling oa of our trade.

Q. How couK American capitalist at the and of the war, even If the navigation laws were not in existence, bavs competed with tho EogLUh shipbuilders aud ownera, the price of labor aud capital being very much higher here than there A. Well, we could have partially couipoled wilh them; we could have gone there and bouitht their ships at a cheaper price than we were compelled to pay for them by building thorn ourselves, and would c.n soquentiy have been in a better position to covopete with them for the trade ot the ocean. I am not ta favor of throwing open tbe ooasttng trade at present to foreign nations, but eventually It must be open to all oompetitors. Ths ooastlng trado Is protested at th expense of ths shippers.

Q. Kow, can you alter these great underlying laws which give tbe business to tho man doing It cheapest 7 A. Undoubtedly not sir. I believe that woodon ship building will almost entirely csase wltula few yaars. Q.

Then would oot tbe English with (heir cheaper capital cairy off this trad as well as tbe ocean trad 7 A. Well, perhaps they miebt. Mr. Hewitt announced that the Committee would not sit probably, until Wednesday, after which they would hold a session at Chicago and another at Pittsburg. The reafons you give for free shipping would apply equally to free trade would they not 7 A Certainly, sir I am a free trader and bellove in taxes only for tho purpose cf necessary revenue 1 do not think the navigation laws benefit our shipping Interests quite tha other wsy they crush out what vitality there is in it I believe that the tariff is au impediment to trade and prevents the development of many industries; I don't believe tn building up any industry at tho exponse of the people, Q.

Then you think these industries have been proteoted to death? A. Well, not entirely. Q. How do you aooount for the depression In England in thesa Bame industries where absolute free trade exietsf A. Well, this is an age of general depression, and England has suffered less tban other countries Pauperism there haa decreased, and has Increased largely here.

I believe an Increase lu vxports and imports a healthy sign. Our exports have increased but our prosperity boa not returned, for wa are In the condition of the man who was paying for a dad horse. We ate our oake without having It, and now we are engaged In paying for It. I believe that most of tbe evils tbat trad is suffering from are caused by too much legislation laughter, with all du respect for your llonora ble body. Mr.

Hewitt, smiling "Dont afraid, M. Marshall, wo are quite accustomed to hear what ws have been doing." 6 Then If ths Oovernmenl had kept on Issuing bonds aud greenbacks, it hsi been teatiaed bare that everything would Ioely in the couutryT A. Well. man'msy keep drunk for a certain time, but he boa got to sober np sometimes or he will collapse. JLaugh ter 1 6 Now, if the was uolfaltod paper money Pwued, what would the rtaull, what would you do with your bonds and greenbacks 7 A.

Well. I would chaog them into gold at oaoe and taks ths first steamer for Europe. fLaughter.J Business since 1860 has under cone a complst change, and a fluctuating currtney produce a speculative era and feeling, and business become a gambling game, cortain to be followed by depression and ruin. My opinion Is that th currency question (a ihe most vital question of the day. We should have a stapla currency fixed on a gold basis.

I beliaT that coun triea where such a currency xlsU recovsr mora rosdily from a saason of embarrassment. Q. Now, if the Qovsrnment stamped every gold dollar as two dollars, would that Increase tho amount of gold 7 A. Not a particle and the same way the stamp of th Government on a greenback canuot rcgulatj the value "'q1" Now. it has been asserted that th New York Froe Trade advocates havo hocn recoiling British eld to break down the tariff and help British manufacturer havo you ever rfiotivod any British gold 7 A Yes, sir I received fiv pounds or $15 on on occasion.

wUI poMl dowl onnoaneea th neat mooting ol A Kemarkable Case Developed in Queens County, The Kofiper of tbe Poorhouse Arrested on tbe Complaint of a Woman who Says he Deserted ber Fifteen Tears Ago, and tbat he was Imprisoned for Two Year for Carrying Another Woman He Says this is an Attempt to Blackmail and that ho Trill Defend Himself. Abigail W. Young is a woman now between 85 and 60 years of age. She sayB Bbe is the mother of five children, the oldest being in hi 34th year. Mrs.

Young was born and during the greater part of her life resided, in the State of New Hampshire. Her parents were farmers, well to do and sooially well thought of. Her maidon name was Barker. 8he married there a man whose name, she swears, was James M. Young, but who has for fifteen years past been known in Now York, Brooklyn and on iong Island as James Wright.

In all his business transactions he has Bigned himself James Wright, and in hla official oapaolty in Queens County be has, whenever occasion required it, sworn that his name is James Wright. It appears tbat h2 had hia name changed by the Legislature of Bhode Island. HIS FIRST MAEBIAOE. Mr. Wright (as ho shall be oallod for the purposes of this caBe) was also born in New Hampshire.

His father was a farmer, but there was little Intimacy between the two families. The woman now claiming to bo Wright's r.ifo, who sayB she bore him five ohildren, alleges that they wore married in 1842. The youngest of the ohildren is now over 21. They have been no burden to her for Bonie years, and she found it not difficult to support herself until lately, when, she Bays, age and the Infirmities of nature unfitted her for labor. She alleges that tha first time he deserted her he remained away three years.

She was supported by her father, but ths family had little sympathy for her, as she had married Wright oontrary to parental advice, goon after their reunion she Inherited Ave hundred dollars, aid with this money they journeyed into Iowa, and prooured a quarter section of land with the intontlon ot settling. After a struggle of eight months, she alleges that Whight again deserted her, with five ohildren, the young eat seven months old. It was in tho Winter time. She alleges that she was left pernlless, and that she would have Btarved to death but tor the sympathy of the neighbors. She made her way back to her old borne In New Hampshire under difficulties, which caused her much mental and physical Buffering.

She alleges that the next time she heard of her husband and his whereabouts, she was Informed that he bad married a Miss Hamilton, In Qeneseo, In this State. She alleges tbat Miss Hamilton's uncle caused Wrignt's arrost for the bigamy, and that he was convicted and sentenced to imprisonment foi two year. In this allegation she Is supported by a letter written, as alleged, by the minister who joined In wedlock Wright and Miss Hamilton, and who says that It was hia testimony tbat oonvloted Wright. This was between the years 1854 and 1857. Mrs.

Young arrived in tho Village of Jamaica on Friday morning last. 8ho was not a stranger there and.nor coming sacms to have been expected. She bad been in Jamaica bafore. About tha year 1974, she proposed to tak prooaajinga to compel Wright to support her, but did not. She alleges that she was paid $500 to forego h' intention.

lieBido that sum she alleges tbat all tho money Wright has contributed to her support in these many years wbb $200. But two of the five children born of Wright's marriage with this woman were ever Been in Jamaica, John and Frank, and they went by the name of Wright, The oldest one married a Jamaici lady of good family and position, and doserted her soon after. A WA.B3A.Nr. When Mrs. Young landed in Jamaica last Friday, she went to Counselor Mjnfort's oftica aud made aui davit to the necessary facts, and Mr.

Montort framed a complaint, and on Saturday askod for a warrant for Wright's arrest, which was aranted. Wiight first became known on Long Island about tho year 1864, in connection with the construction of tha Southern Railroad. He turned up as a successful bidder for a contract for a part of the work. Ho made considerable money out of it. Then the road was only being built between Jamaica and Babylon.

In the subsequent extensions east and west, until ths road found a terminus at South Eighth street, WiUiamsburgh, Writiht had work somewhera along tke line. Ho had afterward the contract for doing the stroot making ana grading at Woodsburgh, and still later did the same character of work at Garden City. It was he who laid out the Sea Cliff Oamp Meeting Grounds, and built the grand boulevard from Jamaica to Astoria. This was said to have been a bonanza. He was Street Commissioner of Jamaioa for several years.

At ona time he was talked of for the Assembly, and again for a County Superintendent of the Poor, but ho would not be considered a candidate for office. He was always toadied to by the politicians, as he made It a point always to control tbe votes ot the men he employed, sometimes three hundred. All this time he lived in Jamaioa. There was living with him then, and is now, a woman who was regarded aa his wife. He introduced her as his wife, and she was treated as such, no one ever dreaming the contrary.

His two sons were supposed to be the offspring of a marriage with a deceased wife, as the womon who was regarded as Mrs. Wright was not herself older than the eldest sod, John. When railroad building and road building became dull, Wright speculated a little in real estate and horse flesh. In 1874 or 187S he went Into bankruptcy. His liabilities footed up thousands and his assets were comparatively nothing.

Some Brooklyn men wore heavy losers. Wright professed to be completely broken up. It was brought about In a peculiar way. Hs went West to buy horses, oarrylng soma $7,000 In greenbacks. The Btory was that at a certain station be got off tbe train for lunob, leaving his traveling bag containing the money lo the seat in the car unprotected.

When he had lnnohed, he returned to the car and found the bag gone. A distance down the track the bag was found, but not the money. It is said that on another occasion be was robbed of $3,000. The work at Sea Cliff was about the last work he had of any aooount. At that time, It was said, ha JOINED THS METHODIST OHtTBOH in Jamaica, and by that means be exerted influenoe sufficient to control tbe job.

He was a regular attendant at the church. A Mr. Putney, now of Now York, was the preaoher then, and Wright placed a horse and carriage at his dally oommand. He was liberal to the church, too, and the MethodiBts rejoiced In having oonverted him. While Wright was going through bankruptcy In 1875 the Eaqle exposed soma ihooklng abases In the management of the paupers of Queens County, at Barn urn Island.

An insane girl had been outraged and turned adrift in a perishing storm, and was almost frozen to death. Her feet had to be amputated snbsequsdtly. This was but one of ths many abuses. The person who was then keeper of the Poorhouse and Asylum was discharged, and the Board of Superintendents appointed James Wright to be keeper, though there was much opposition. It Is only fair to Wright to say that he has made a model keeper.

Hia alary was fixed at $800 a year. His last wife was made matron at a salary of $300. There are two children by this last alliance, a boy and gitl, aged 12 and 5 respectively. The family was to be found in everything in addition to the salary. When the Board of Supervisors took tho appointing power ont of the hands of the Superintendents Wright was reappointed and bis wtfa aha, and their salaries increased $30).

The brother of Mrs. Wright, John Twombly, was appointed to the position of farmer. Wright has accomplished wonders at Bar num Island. Ho has made productive worse land than the barrens. By a system of dyking, with 300 paupers to do the work, he has reclaimed and msdjitjaplo ten acroSoT meajovv.

wno would not work were kept on bread and water. Everyone who has been to the Island testifies to Wright's admirable keeparship WBIOHT DEFIANT, Wright said yesterday that he Sal baen c. this move againat him. Hs bad refused to pay moaty to Mrs. Young.

He said he was prepared to meet it, and would. He was spending the day at Brighton Beach. It is conjoctared that Wright obtained a divorce at some time from the woman Mrs. Young, who now sues for support as his wife. Mrs.

Young, however, thinks not, from the fact, as she alleges, that he sought tbe good offices ot a son in Boston to have this matter compromised. It is alleged by her that Wright lately offered $4,000 for a bill of divorce. Mr. Bellamy, of Brooklyn, Is Wright's counsel. Mrs.

Young's attornoy, Mr. Monfort, wrote on behalf of his client to Wright that proceedings would be instituted against him if he did not provide for Mrs, Young. These letters were passed to Mr. Bellamy, who wrote Mr. Monfort that it was evidently an attempt to levy blackmail' VIOLENCE.

A Number ef Knock Down Anranients. Patrick Eeilly and James O'Brien had a fight in front of No. 93 William Btreet, on Saturday night, during which both men were severely cut and bruited. They were SreBtea by Offloer Kenan of th Third Precinct, and were locked up on oouuter charges of asiaalt and battery, Marie McCormick and Anne Doyle bad a quarrel on Saturday night, at the reaidenoe' of the former, No. 238 Hamilton avenue, when the former threw a milk pitcher at Anne striking her on ths bead and inflicting a severe scalp wound, which was dressed at the Ling Island College Hospital.

Mrs. McCormick was arrested by Officer Flood, of the Eleventh Precinct, and held on a oharge of felonious assault. During a quarrel on Saturday night, between Timothy O'Connell and bis wife Ellen, at No. 203 Bond treet, the former was struok on the head with some blunt instrument, receiving a severe gash. Bridget and Kate O'Ualley, sisters, aged 18; and 19 respectively, made an attack on Saturday night on an old woman named Catharine Delaney, at No.

13 Km mett street, aud beat her in a most brutal manner. When the sisters had knocked her dowu and trampled on her, they were not satisfied until they alternately pounded her over the head with a tin pail. The polics of the Third Precinot hearing of the disturbance, went to the spot and arrested the slaters, and took tha injured woman to the Long Island College Hospital where the doctors pronounoed her condition During a dispute between John Flynu, of No. 203 Bond street, and Mary Colbert, who keeps a candy store at No. 391 Baltlo streot, about tbe pries of some candy which Flynn had purchased, ths lattsr picked up an iron weight and threw it at her, striking her on the side of the bead and inflicting a painful cut.

He was arrested and the injured woman was taken to the Long Island College Hospital. Edward Snollgrove, of No. 14 Fourth street, and a companion, while under the Influence of liquor, last night attempted to fores their way into Francis Dai ley's liquor store, at the corner of Bond and Second streets, but were ejeotod by the proprietor. On reaching the Btreet they began to ama9h the wlndowB, when Dailey ran out and threw a stone Btriklng Snellgrove on the jaw and fracturing it. Dailey was arrested, and Snellgrovo was taken to the Long Island Ojllege H03.

pilal, Thomas Murray, who is charged by his stepdaughter with having Indecently assaulted her, was brought bcrore Justico Riley this morning. Hla case sas adjourned until Saturday. Counselor BIdgway eppcau for the accused. IN THE AIR. The Advent of Rapid Transit in New York.

Trains Rnnningr Keularlj on the East Sido Elevated Railroad Crowds of Passengers on the Cars The Noise and Vibration The Route Described Inei dents of the First Day's Business. An event of much importance to the people ot this city, the opMiie oi the Now York Elovated Railroad to public travel, took place to day. Commencing at half past flva o.elook this morning traina were run at Intervals of fifteen minutes over tbe east aide tracks of tho road botween the Battery and the Grand Central Di pot, corner of 42nd street and Fourtli avenue. Although the Btatlons aro not completed at many ol the principal pcints where stoppages are to be made, the line did a good business. Up to noon 2,700 tickets were sold at the Brand Central Dpot, 800 at the Fulton stroot station and 1.103 at the Battery.

Noarly all of the tickets wero sjld at the hour when tho fare Is ten cents. DESCRIPTION OF THE ROAD. The opening of tha road in connection with ihe old Ninth avenue and Greenwich streat line, almost encircles Manhattan Island with a band of iron and steel. The public art fatndiar with the West Sido branch, which runs along Greenwiob street and Ninth avenue to Central Park. Tho East Side branch conimenoes'at the Battery, runs fllonj Front streot, Coenties slip.

Pearl streot, tho New Bowery, the Bowery and Third avenue to Forty second street and Fourtli avenue, Stations are now completed at and passengers are carried betwean tho Battery, Fulton street, Hanover Square, Ninth streot, Fourteenth streot, Twenty third stroot, Thirty fourtU streot and Forly second street. Trains were run to day at intervals of from ten to flf tean minutes. Each train oomprised an engine and two wall filled cars. Tho time consumed in the full trip was about twenty one minutes. Work on the East side road was begun last November, and it was finished to tha Grand Central Depot, about a week ago.

The road Is eonducted on what is known as the one legsei plan, which, it is claimed, iiiperior to tho plan of lateral girders followod in building tbe Gilbert or Metropolitan Hallway. Along Front treet, Bowery and Old Bowery, tha road is built on the line of the curbs. On Third avenue It Is located in the middle of the roadway. The truck of the 'superstructure on the ordinary grades is 17 feet cr more above the grades of the street railroadB. In length, the spars averago 43 feet i inches.

The girdors, made of open iron lattico work, are 33 inches deep and are bo proportioned that no part is subjected to a greater strain of tension an i compression than 8,000 pounds per square inch. The maximum deflection of the girders, when loaded, does not exceed over fifteen hundredth of th9 span. The columns consist; of two 15 loob rolled channel b3ani3 united by lateral bracing, consisting of small bars riveted to the flanges of the beams. Where the track is carrlod over the tops of the channel, beams are curved outward from the centre each way, far onouxh to support the longitudinal girders. When the track is carried on girdera between the columns, tho chanuel beams of the post aro carried up straight.

Tho lower onds of the beams are set into sockets of cast iron bed plates, weighing about 2,200 pounds each. Tho foundations aro ubut seven feet deep aad seven feet square at tbe bottom and consist of flagstones and hurd; burned bricks laid in hydraulio cement mortar. XHS TRACK is four font eight and one half inches in guage, the superstructure consisting of Bessemer steel rails worthing fifty pouuda to a yard, laid on yellow pine cross tics ton Inches apart. The cross ties are seoured to the loncitudinal girders by long screws with washers at the bottom, the latter projecting undor the top flanges of the girdors, clamping the tics to them. The rolling stock in use consistB of oighty flvo locomotives and one hundred and sixty cars.

The engines have four driving wheels and weigh 15,000 pounds. TheBO engines are about one third the size of an ordinary locomotive, and era highly finished and very orna menial machines. Tho cars which, whon empty, weigh l. as than 16,000 pounds, are forty one feet six inches long over the platforms tho bodies are tbirty five feet eix incbes loag by aaven feet wide and seat forty, eight passengers. Tbe cara are neatly finished both inside and out, all the appointments being almost on a scale of luxury.

A TBIP rWEB THE ROUTE. This morning an Eagle reporter started on a trip over the route from the station at the Battery. The train shot out of the station and over Front street with great rapidity, passing warehouses, hotels and stores in rapid succession. Speed was ulaokened at Hanover square where a stoppage was made. A serpentine curve ot the track oarried the train through Coenties slip into Pearl street, along which thoroughfare good time was made to Fluton atreet, where the cara drew before the United States Hotel, where the Fulton Ferry station is located.

Then the train rumbled over Pearl atreet past tha Bridge anchorage and approaches and past old Franklin Bquare Into the Nw Bowery. Tbe vibration of the road wa8 slightly felt by the passengers, though not to such an extent as to create unpleasant sensations. In the New Bowery the flain ascended a height that mado the hair of tha more timid passengers stand on ond, and even tho boldest felt nervous. The line runs, from the naw to the old Bowery, up a steep hill, and in order to make the grade tbe columns aro lengthened to mora than double tbe ordinary extent. It looks, at this point, like a railroad on stilts, and has altogether an exceedingly spiderly appearance.

There wa3 little vibration at this point, although tha cars ran along on a level with the fourth story ot the tenement booses, and when the passtngera looked down It soerood a long distance to the ground. Whirling into the Bowery the train dashed along to Canal attest, whero a depot is in oourse of construction. Aftar a short stop the cars rattled up to Ninth street, and thence to Fourteenth, Twenty third and Thirty fourth treets, whore stoppings wore male. A long, broad ourve carried the oars up to the Grand Central Depot, the trip being made In twenty one minutes. Tha down trip to Fulton stroet was made in loss than twenty minutes.

Houses are being built, as rapidly as possible, at all the stations. TBJt MOST 0NPLKA8ANT FEATUB2 of the trip was the noise. The trains as thsy rollel along made a noise so like subdued thunder that one Ignorant ot tha cause would suppose that a shower was approaohing. At times it is almost deafening. The faster the trains move the greater is the vibration and tha consequent Increase In the volume of sound rolling from beneath tho wheels.

Inuignant citizens those who do not believe In rapid transit starod angrily at the passing trains. Eiithusiastio persons, who approve of the tast trains, waved their hands encouragingly, smiled blandly and occasionally cheered loudly. Street urohlnB were out in force and they shouted gleefully. Passengers on the road to day had aD inside tiew of metropolitan life in many of its varied phases. Open windows gave a full view of the interior of hundreds of homos, from the humble apartmsnt squalid poverty to the palatial Frecch flats of the wealthy.

Mothers sat in the windows with their infants in their arms and waved salutes to the cars. Workmen continued their labor3 undisturbed and only gave the passengers a passing glance. It was easy to recall the fact that it was blue Monday, for at hundreds of windows could be seen sturdy women rubbing down piles of soiled gartn'tntj. Everybody seemed to have left their windows open, regardless of tne publicity which It entailed. WHAT AN OFFICIAL SATS.

Mr. James A. Corning, Secretary and Treasurer of the line, said to day, in reply to the questions of an Eagle reporter We have the road In complete running order, but have not yet finished the stations. We now stop at only the Battery, Hauovsr square, Fulton street, Ninth, Fourteenth, Twenty third, Thirty fouth and Forty second streets. The cars have been tilled all day.

In a short time the road wiU be running much more smoothly and there will be Icbs noise. Aa it is we do sot make nearly so much noise as tbe Sixth avenuo route. With the rolling stook under contract we can carry between 600,000 and 700,000 passengers per day. We are now making the four miles between the Battery and Forty second street in twenty flve minutes. We shall make it in eighteen minutes after we got running smoothly.

By the close of the year we will have the road completed through to the Harlem Biver and will then stop ai South Ferry, Hanover square, Fulton street, Franklin square, Chatham street, City Hall, Canal street, Grand street, Houston street, Ninth, Fourteenth, Eighteenth, Twenty third, Thirty fourth and Forty second streets, the Grand Central Depot, Forty seventh, Titty third, Fifty ninth, Sixty eighth, Seventy sixth, Eighty fourth, Ninety eighth, Oae Hundred and sixtb, One Hundred and sixteenth and Oue Hundred and twenty firth streets. The line will be of great advantage tj Brooklyn, as people will save from half to three quarters of an hour going from Fulton Ferry to th9 Grand Central Depot, BLACK LENA. Judge Moore's Opinion as to the Release of tha Shoplifter on Bali I turn Three WeeKs of tbe General Term. The publication in tlie Eagle oi Saturday of tbe facts connectea with the liberation from the Penitentiary of Black Lena, otherwise Mary Morris, a notorions shoplifter, has created a sensation in this city. In April, 1875, Mary Morris and Catherine Martin wereairoated for Bteallngln Journaey Burnham's.

They were members of a notorious gang of shoplifters, They escaped from Jail In a very remarkable way, after offers of large bail and after valuable con liUerations had been tendered by their friends in New York for their admission to bail. In December, 1876, they were captured in Boston and brought on here. On December 21, 187G, they were convicted and sentenced to the Penitentiary for four years and a half each. On August 19, 1878, Mary Morris was released on ball pending an appeal to the next General Term of tho Supremo Court, which is to bo held a fortnight today. A bail bond was on file, but no writ of error or bill of exceptions.

The writ of error was not Mod until Friday afternoon, and tha bill of exceptions not until afternoon, after an EtOLK reporter had asked for them. The District Attornoy served no amendmenlB on the bill of exceptions and consented to the stay oi proceedings, which liberated Mary Morris the same day, although the General; Term was to be held in less than three weeks, and two years and ten months of the prisoner's soutence was still to be served. i Justico Gilbert aaid that hs granted the saty bo caune the Distncl Attorney consented. Judge Moore Baid that tho couseut that Mary Morris should bn admitted to bail, and released wben so much of her sen tuucu was to be eurved, and the eneral Term was so near at hand, was unprecedented. His Hooor said further that no exceptions taken on tho trial were of any Importance at all.

The bill of exceptions, Judge Monre said, was settled within the last fortnight, and wad regular. He insisted on all tuo stenographer's oou.s in. iwin Brandon, their father, and Mary Emily Harvey to Eldia II. De Festetics, all of tha County of Kings, TUB LATEST VICTIM.

Corporation Counsel DeWitt to day sent to the Board of Ctry Works the followiag opinion in reference to the proposed repairing of Fourth avonue, which explains itself BrooaXTS, August 20, 1878. To the Dspa' ttneni of City Works: Gentlemen. Respecting the request for my opinion as to the expanding ths $15,000 raissd in ihe last budget for the repair of Fourth avenue, I have to say Have reveaudly expressed my opinion that the Insertion and collection through the annual tax upon the city at lsrge of sural of money really designed for the pavement or repavement of streets, under the head of Btreet repairs, is a plain violation ot law. The Charter requires that such work should bs paid for out of local assedsmsnts and provides that in no event shall such exponas bo made a charge upon tLe city at lare. Fourth avenue, however, fa in an exceptional condition.

It ws3 originally a macadamlzod boulevard. The stone composition which constituted its surface has been so pulverised and driven under and such quantities of earth have been deposited above, that the avenue Is now in tho condition of a couatry road wucro the dust stands knee deep, rendering it well nigh intolerable to iraTOlers aad abuttera. The pending proposition, as I understand it, is to ram down and round up tho roadbed aud place a cobble stone covering on either side. It seems to mo tbat such a work is a repair. How else could such a roadway be repaired At a'l events, it Is so near the line of deitlnatioa that I think the money having beou raised and in the Treasury, It may bo expended for Buch a pumose.

Tho procoedings of the Common Cjuncil of Slay and Juno last are faulty and invalid, In so far as they 6eek or direct a paveuiont or repavement of this avenue with cobblestone or otherwise. As already stated, the money in the Treasury is for repairs, and cannot, as a matter of law, be expended for a pavement or repavemeut. But tbe roolution adontod by tho Common Couuc directs that your Board advertise for proposal!" for paving ths avenue with cobbleitoae, aod that each bidder should state in his propoul "a detlaito pricj per squaro yard fir such distance as may be required to be laid," I thluk the Common Council havo a right to tho Information sought through such au advertisement if it desires it. It ia true the Common Council could not pave the avenue as contemplated apparently by the first phrase of the rosolurioo, but the last phraso seems to have in viow tho work I have described, and tha resolution does not bind the city or tho Common Council to a pavement or ropavoment even, If proposals are roecivol. At all events it will be ttmo enough to deolaro the action of the Legislative body of the city illegal when it undertakes a pavouient rather than a repair of the fitreot.

whioh, by calliuz for general competition, bring about tho ohoap st modes of doiu public work, are to be regarded with fuvur. It has come to bo altu iat a matter of common law with American cities to do public work through general competition. Obediem (o the reo Ititi'm of tho Common Council may be the oalr way in which that body can determine the uvh'. practical, economical nd effectual manner which ourth avenuo may be repaired for tho amount raised, and in this I think the rosolutlou should be obeyed. Respectfully youta, Wm.

C. DeWitt, C. C. The Boara decided io go on with tho work in accordance with tho resolution of tho Board of Aldermen. A BKMOVAL AND A TRANSFEB.

Flaherty and Bennett to day ordered the removal of John Smith, keoper of Pine's and Hempstead Ponds, to take effect ou September 1. Thoy then orderod tbe transfer of Thomas Tierooy from ths Bldgowood reservoir, to perform the duties of keoper at tho two ponds. AH EX ALDEBMAN'3 APPOINTMENT. Ex Alderman Ooorge H.

Complaints havo been made recently that certain employos of ths Department of City Works exacted fees for administering oaths to parties who have had biness with the Department.

This Is entirely wrong, ann the Board to day adopted a resolution prohibiting any employe from demanding or accepting any compensation for administering an oath or performing any duty appertaining to his position. Secretary Morthup gave verbal orders previously to have ths thing stopped, but the Siiard thought it advisable to adopt a resolution. THB STOBAGE BE8EBVOIR.

TEMPERANCE. A Convention of tbe Vlocesnn Vutoa ot till City Tne Business Transacted eterdnr mr. Jobn latirciia'a A final meeting of the Diocesan T. A. B.

Society of this oity was held yesterday afternoon In the school houso attached to the Cathedral on Jay Btreet. Tho Union embraces seventeen different societies, and its total membership is 978. Yo iter day there were delegates present from ail the societies. On Wednesday a Convention of all the Cataollo temperance societies in ths country will be held at Indianapolis. The object of yesterday's meotlng was to have the final reports of the work In this oity presented.

In order that they might be forwarded to Indianapolis Id due season. No delegates from this city will go to the Indianapolis Conveotlon. John Murine, formerly Secretary of the Union, has been orj)jgng a UtUa double, by alleged underhand work. From statements mads, it appears that Mr. Jfdurtha was dailrous of obtaining tbe Presidency of toe Union.

Ho ran for the office, but in the meantime held his position as Secretary. According to tho rules, he ought to have lmmadiately resigned the Secretaryship when he ran for tha Presidency. This he did not do, however. He was elected President, it is said, by a small majority, and now the members say that thsy have found out that he DID NOT ACT PAD3LT. The matter was brought up at th Convantlcr, yesterday, and it is Bald that warm words wero used while the matter was being discussed.

It la also said that Mr. Mnrtha lost his temper and resorted to violent and abusive language. However the case may be, ho was severely rebuked by Bev. Father O'Harc, who was present. On Thursday evening, at eight o'clock, a special meeting of tha Union is to be held in St.

James Hall, at which tho unpleasant matter is Ukely to be again brought up. CATHOLIC CLKKUIHEN IS BETBEAT. Ou Monday last tha pastors of the Roman Catholic diocese of Brooklyn went into retreat at St. John's College, corner of Lewis and Wllloughby avenues. The retreat waa called by the director, irather Hannessey, and lasted up to the end of the week.

The devotions consisted of spiritual Instruction, prayers and preaching by Father Hannessey. Tha retreat Is of annual occurrence, and la for the purpose of giving the pastors of tba diocese an opportunity for uninterrupted meditation on the moral and religious responsibilities of life aud the ministry. Last year both pastors and assistants were called, but it was found that there waa not sufficient room to accommodate thomall, so that tbe pastors alone wero called last week, and their assistants will probably go into retreat next weok. About sixty pastors wero present, being nearly all who belong in the diocese, the few who were absent being prevented from attending on account of aicknesa or noma other equally urgent reason. Saturday evening closed the devotions, and after the reception of the sacraments the clergymen returned to thoir respective parishes.

Among those who attended were Bishop lioughhn, Father Keegan, of the Church of tha Assumption; Father Malone, of Sta. Peter and Paul's; Father rrsjisioli, of Si. Peter's, and others. Five men were before Justice Uiley this morning charged with drukenness. Eaoh one had an excuse for tho condition be was la when he fell lDto tbe officer's hands.

Some of tho stories told were rca ly so interesting that even his Honor oould not refrain from smiling. Three of the prisoners vrero dismissed, while ths other tno will rusticate In, Raymond street Jail. lju. August 20, 1378. au20 6wTu OHA3.
