MRS. DEVLIN'S WILL. A Contest Between Brothers Over the Disposal ot Property The matter of proving the will of the late Mary Devlin, who died in May last, was up in tbo Surrogate's Court this morning. Mrs. Devlin was a widow and died poasessod of aome personal property, and real estate to the value of about $70,000.

She left four sons, John, Frank, James and Daniel, and the will is contested by James and Frank. By tbe terms of the will tbe property Is left exclusively to John, aud nothing goes to the other heirs. It appears that John waa engaged in the distilling business, and about 1870 became involved in difficulties with the Qovernment and at that time piaoed bis property In the hands of bis mother. In 1873 she made a will, giving all the property to Frank Devlin In trust for John, in 1878, John had recuperated from his difficulties and bis mother then made another will, giving everything to him absolutely, on the ground that it had iu large measure oomo from him In the beginning. It la this Trill that Is oonteatei, on ths ground of incompetency and undue influence.

Sz Senator John A. Perry was the counsel for Mrs, Devlin and drew the will. He appears for the will, and ex Judge William Fullerton Is associated with him aa counsel in the case. Hon. Benjamin F.

Traoy appears for tbe contestants. Mr. Perry was the only witness examined this morning, and testified to tbe making of the will and the attendant circumstanoea. Tbe oase was then adjourned until Wednesd ay next. EDUCATION.

Opening of tbe Central Grammar School Tbe Sesnlon of tbe Evening Scboolst. The Central Grammar School, on the oor her of Court and Livingston Streets, was formally opened at nine o'clock this morning. The number of pupils in attendanoa was about 600. When tbe pupils entered the building, and before going to their class rooms, they were received by Dr. Laigbton, the newly appointed Principal, who delivered a ahort address of welcome and then apoke of the necessity of being thorough in ail their studies.

Short addtessea were afterward delivered by Superintendent Field, Mr.Wm. M. Cole.Onairman of the Local Committee, and Colonel Thomas Carroll, Chairman of the Teaohera' Committee. Colonel Carroll expressed the hope that the building would be complately furnished within tha next week 01 ten daya, by whioh time, he said, all the class rooms would be provided with blackboards and seats would be piaoed In the auditorium. At present there are only a few old settees there and the accommodations for the leotnres and also for the exercises in vocal and Instrumental musical exercises are very Incomplete.

The pupils were then dismissed to the different olass rooms, and In less than one hout from the opening of the school the workpf was proceeding as smoothly as in any long established institution. The quickness with which the classes got to work was owing to the fact that for the last two weeks the work of grading tbe pupils has been very carefully performed at tbe Prospect Sobool House, to tbat when they arrived at the Central Grammar Sohool House tbis morning tbey bad nothing to do except Join the classes to wbloh they had been previously assigned. The olass roomt in tbe new building are vary badly ventilated. As the weather gets oooler tha air will become insufferably fouL The building la not adapted for a sohool hous, and the members of the Board ot Education are slowly awakeulng to tbe faot tbat a mlatake bas been made la expending $3,030 In fitting It up.

He was a very un cotnmnufoitlve kind of man and bad little or nothing to do with any of the other oooupants of tbe bouse. A neighbor miased him all day on Saturday, and at a late bonr on Saturday night auspectod that something might be wrong, and oallsd at the bouse and made Inquiries. He ascertained that he had not been seen sines Friday afternoon. The room door ot tbe mining man was then forced open, and bia lifeless body waa found lying on the floor.

An alleged ease of unnecessary and almost fatal olnbbing by Officer John W. Murtba of tbe Third Precinct, occurred at a late hour on Saturday nlgbl and will demand a careful Investigation on the part of the Police Commissioners. During tbe past six months'several policemen have disgraced themselves by the too free use of their locusts, and tho Commissioners are determined to show no meroy to members or the force who may bo proved guilty of such offenses. In the present instance tbe offloer makes a blank nlal of the oharge, but all the circumstances attending the affair Indicate that his temper got the better of hit Judgment. It seems tbat a youth named John Sweeney, residing with his parents at No.

18S Hamilton avenue, returned home In an intoxicated condition ou Saturday evening and had not been in the bouse long when he announced that he waa going to attend a ball at Dago Hall, an Italian resort in Carroll ttrest. The mother of the boy objected, but he snatched up his bat and ran away from tbe house, followed by Jus brother Thomas, aged 23 years, whose objeot waa to bring bim baok. A number of parsons joined In the ohaae, and in a few moments an excited crowd were iu pursuit. John 8weeney kept ahead of his pursnora until be reached tbe corner of Hicks street, where he was met by Offloer Mnrtba. who atODped blm.

The officer, not knowing what had taken place, laid hold or John, and would not let him go until lie had made an investigation. In a moment or so his brother Thomas cams np and explained to the offlcor that John was somewhat under tbe inQuonce of liquor, but that bo bad done nothing lot which he should be arrested, and that be (Thomas) would take blm homo, if the offlcor would let him go. Thomas then attempted to lead bis brother away, when, it la alleged. Officer Murtha struck him a VIOLENT BLOW ON THE FOBSBEAD with his club, kuooking him bleeding and senseless into the arms ot a oouple of friends, who took blm home. Mre.

Sweeney then came up and tbe offloer allowed ber to take her youngest son home, admitting, as alleged, thot he had hit the other brother with his club. After reaching home, Thomas became Insensible aud ambulance surgeon Coohran waa sent for and sewed up the wound. Tbe physician said tbat he would probably have died had he not reoolved prompt medloal attention, aa he had lost oousiderable blood and was very weak. It seema that Murtha returned atter hla tour of patrol duty to the Uutler atroet Station House and went to bed without making any report of the 00 ourrenoo to the Sergeant who was in charge. Captain Retlly, of the Eleventh Preolnot, happened to hear of tho matter and notlfiod Oaptain Leavey of the Tnlrd, who, although It was then three o'clook In the morning, summoned Murtha from bis alumber and procaeded to make an investigation.

Murtha admitted all about the affair as stated above with the oxooptlon of the clubbing, of wbloh he professed to be in complete ignorance. Tbe Captain was not aatlsfkad witk his explanation, aud yesterday ha detailed bim to make an inquiry aa to how Ttiouiia Sweeney had received bis injuries, thus giving him an opportunity to clear himself, if possible, from the grave ohargo of. having unnecessarily clubbed blm. Last evening Murtha returned to the station house and Informed tbe Captain tbat he had heard that Sweeney had been struck by a stone thrown by soma one in the crowd; and Rave a man named Jamee Adams, of No. 80 Bapslyea street, as hla authority for tbat statement.

Adams waa sent far but he could not tell who had made that remark to him. Tbe Captain pointed out to Murtha tha importance of arresting the man who threw tbe stone, but the offloer said that he was unable to find him. The captain then made an investigation on his own acoount snd beoame fully convinced THAT MTJBTHA HAD USED TOT CLUB, and thla morning submitted a speoial report to Superintendent Campbell to that effect, at the same time giving the offloer the benefit of hla unqualified denial. The Superintendent, for tbe purpose of having the matter carefully Investigated, ordered Captain Leavey to make a formal charge against Murtha, and this la now on file and will bo examined by tbe Commiasionera on Thursday. Officer Murtba has been on tbe force over three years, and Captain Leavey haa regarded him as one of the beat men under bia command.

He baa always been ready and willing to go on any duty, no matter how perilous, and has on many oooaslons given unmistakable evldenoe of bis oourage. He figured prominently and creditably Injtbo Foxtragedy, the soene of wbloh, It will be remembered, waa at the "House of Blazes," oorner Fourth plaoe and Heury street. Fox was a drunken desperado, who on the oooasion referred to had made a murderous assault on his wife, whose orles attraoted tbe attention of Officers Rogers and Murtba to the house. Tbe officers found thst Fox waa in the front room up stairs armed with a double barreled shot gun, and although ha threatened to shoot the first man who crossed tbe tbreshold tho officers fearlessly ascended tbe Btairway leading to the room. As soon aa they oame in view Fox dlsoharged one of tbe barrels right In their facie, tbe shot lodging In Rogers' arm and disabling blm for life, Murtha, quick at lightning, draw his revolver, and before tbs desperado bad tlmo to discbarge bia weapon again aent a ball through his brain, killing blm Instantly.

Tha Coroner's Jury, after a carol ul investigation of tbe case, fully exonerated tbe officer. Uurtha haa also figured In another justifiable Bhootlng affair, In which the result was less aonous, and bas made some of the beit arrests whioh have taken place iu the Third Precinct during the past tbree years. VIOLENCE. Desperate Aasmult on a Colored Woman Saturday Nicrbt Affray t. For some time past, William Barnott, aged tu years, ana lectins snort, ageu so years, Dotn colored, have been living together at No.

171 Navy street, as mas and wife. Barnett returned to his apartments at the above numbor, at a late hour oa Saturday night, and accused Letitla ot being too Intimate with other men. Bhe denied that such was tbe case and eald that she would not remain another night In his oompany. Barnett theb became violently enraged and made a desperate and murderous assault on the woman, who defended herself as long as abe oould. Her earaje assailant beat her over the bead with an earthen pitcher, threw a naah baaln Into her race, and then beat her over the head and body with a chair until her atrengtn waa exhausted and aba fell on tbe floor bleedtng from eevoral ghastly wounds, and more dead than alive.

The brute then atamped on her and would assuredly bave killed her outright had some of the neighbors not broken loto tbe room and ovejnowarad him. Officer Killlan was notified of the occurrence, and. going to the house, arrested Barnett, who was looked np in the Fonrth Precinct Statiou House. Tbe injured woman waa taken to the City Hospital, whera aha lies in a precarious condition.

Officer Jeremiah Caranagb Gets Drank at Coney Island and Fires a Pistol at bis Superior Details of an Exciting Scene in the Sixth Precinct Station House. An attempt to assassinate Cantain Louis Worth, of the Sixth Preolnot, made by Officer Oava nagn, about ten minutes after midnight, was almost a reproduction of the Bhootlng of Captain Joel Smith by Offloer Hefferman.

In this as in that preceding It the conditions were almost preoissly similar. Cavanagh bad arrested a woman, whioh Sargeant Beardoo, who waa in otiarge at the Stagg street station, deoided unwarranted. Tho Captain's attention was drawn to tbo officer by tbe Sergeant and they agreed tbat Cavanagh waa not in a fit condition to resume post duty. Captain Wortb then ordered Cavanagh upstairs, preliminary to whioh the woman in custody had b9en released against the officer's protest. Subsequent to that Cavanagh persisted in leaving the station house, making four separate ventures to paas oat unobserved ero he finally gained tbe street.

He was, called back by the Captain's order and the two men met faoe to fade at the doorway, Cavanagh with pistol in hand. Inatinotively Captain Worth grasped the hand containing the weapon, Cavanagb at tbe same Instant seizlni his superior by tbe throat and making a desperate effort to free bis hand, During the brief and sharp struggle tbat ensued Cavanagh twisted bis band ao ae to direct tbe pistol downward as though intending to a boot tho Captain in the back. It was then tbe weapon waa discharged, happily without effect, as tho ball struck on the floor several feet back of where the two men were struggling. Sergeants Beardon and Ward by that time disarmed the furious officer, to socure whom it was found necessary to try the choking prooess. THE DETAILS OF THB WHOLE AP7AIB are those.

At 11:25 o'clook last night a Mr. Bueger who lives at No. 240 Humboldt street, reported to Ser geant Boardon tbat an officer had been at his residence, to use his own terms, "raising the devil." Two men who bad aocompanied Mr. Bueger corroborated tbe statement. The three, with a slater ot Mr.

Bue ger, bad been standing on the stoop of tbe dwelling chatting and laughing, though (as they claimed) not boisterously. Tbey said the officer had spoken to them roughly, and when told that they lived in the house, bad told them to get inside or be would arrest them, A remark In reply by Mr. Kieirar had resulted ill hla being grabbed by tbe throat and shoved inside bis door, lergeailt Beardon was about sending an offloer to ascertain wbat might be Amisa when tbe Officer complained of (Jeremiah Cavanagh) appaared at the station, having In oustody the sister of Mr. Buegar. Cavanagh preferred a obirge of drunkenness and disorderly conduct against Miss Kate Bueger, whioh, when questioned by the Sargeant as to its correctness, he modified by dropping the first part.

Miss Buoger'a mother essayed to apeak in her daughter's behalf only to bo cut short by Cavanagh, who placed his band over ber mouth to prevent ber from speaking. Sergeant Beardon decided not to hold Miss Bueger, whom be told to take a seat, and ordered Cavanagb to return to hla post. Then for the first time tbe sergeant concluded that possibly Cavanagh needed looking after. Calling Captain Wortb, be suggested that Cavanagb looked strangely, In addition to his unmannerly con duot toward Mrs. Bueger.

Cavanagh was called back by Captain Worth, to whom the man betrayed hla condition in conversation. Otherwise the officer appeared with the exception tbat there was a wild look perceptible about bis eyes. By tbe Captain, Cavanagh was OBDKBED TO BEHAIH IN THB STATION HOUSS and Bent upBtairs. In vain be requested permission to have a talk with Alderman Ormsbee, through whom Cavanagh is said to have obtained his appointment, and he sullenly retired from the office. At midnight a fresh platoon of men was sent out.

Cavanagh bad evidently concluded to wait until that was over for an opportunity to slip out of the station. He twice attompted It, but refrained upon noticing that Captain Worth remained In tbe office. A third time be walkod out aud found the field clear. Sergeant Wormell was busied writing up a summary and failed to note the proceeding at the instant. When in formed that Cavanagh had gone out the Sergeant apprised Captain Wortb, who started to recall the do parting officer.

Sergeant Ward performed this duty, informing the offiaer that he was wanted inside. As Cavanagh turned to retrace his stepj his steps it was noted by Sergeant Beardon tbat a pistol was tn his right hand, and the faot msmlined in an undertone. At tbe same time tbe Captain walked hastily across the office so that he and Cavanagb met at the portal. Instantly, and without a word preliminary to the act, Cavanagh seized bis supeiior by the throat with his left hand and raised his right, in which he held a large bore naval revolver. Sensible that the man meant mischief, Captain Worth grasped Cavanagh's right wrist and than began tbe briei luasol referred to.

The strugglo was short, being rendered so by tbe prompt interference of Sergeant Beardon, wboss aim was to disarm the frenzied man. Sergeant Ward, with like promptitude, took violent hold of Cavanagh and with aome difficulty released his Captain and floored tne offloer. Nor did he let go of Cavanagh until reminded that tbe man was blue in the face and well nigh breathless. To tbat remark the Sergeant tersely responded that tbat was no more than such a man as' Cavanagh had proven himself deserved. THB SHOOTIWO was done, as already stated, while Captain Worth and Cayansgistood molding eaoh other by main strength, each Intent upon gaining the supremacy.

If, as the Captain says be beUevas, lt was not originally tbe intent of Cavanagh to ahoot him, thore is scarcely a doubt that he designed to at the time they were olenohed. Captain Wortb states tbat he supposes when Cavanagh loft the station office that he meant to meet any oppo.itlon that might be offered to his exit by a at least presenting tbe revolver at any person who might stand iu his way. Cavanagh has, with one exception, hitherto had an exoellent record, He was dismissed for drunkenness at the time of ex Mayor Havemeyer's funeral, nearly two years ago. Since his reappointment, Dccembor 6, 1876, he is not known to have indulged in drink until yesterday. It appears tbat he went to Coney Island with an ex polloeman, who had been put off the force for the aame reason as himself and at the same time.

They had a sort of Jollification together In reoalllng old remembrances and events, according to a statement made by Cavanagh to a brother officer. When he went on duty at 0 o'clook hi the evening there was oo appearance about him indicating that he waa in liquor, nor, for that matter, at any time afterward, with the exceptions stated as regards bis conduct in connection with the arrest of the woman. As to tho act itself and the motive actuating him, the culprit haa declined to speak or answer inquiries. About tbe only remark pertinent thereto be vouchsafed was made by him as to his reason for the shooting. Tbat waa that he did not know what Induced him to do it.

All the wsary hours of HIS CONFINEMBNT in a cell were nne oontinual tramp up and "down the longth of tbe contracted apartment, To look upon be tomewhat resembled a crazed man, snob was tha glare of his sharp grey eyes and the determined spirit gleaming from them. Tbis morning, the; prisoner, strongly guarded, was arraigned at the Fifth Dlstriot Police Court, Jnatice Elliot presiding, in the absence of Justioe Gnok. He has been oommltted for examination on Wednosday noxt to answer a charge of felonious assault with intent to kill. Cavanagh is 30 years of age and a single man, and, as has been previously Intimated, was highly esteemed by his fellow officers and in general. Tbat be should have done such an insane act is mattter for general regret on the part of all who knew the man.

Slow a Baker's Journeyman Shot Two FeVHODai in Atlantic Avouue. Yesterday afternoon, John Herman, a journeyman baker in the employ of Philip Stolz, whose bakery ia at 270 Atlantio avenue, was engaged In shooting rata in tbe baok yard of his employer's resldenee. He used a double barreled shot gun, loaded with a light oharge of small shot. Onoe, when he dlsoharged one of the barrels accidentally, tbe weapon lay over his arm and waa elevated just high enough to strike some people who were riding on the front platform of an Atlantio avenue car. Benjamin Hendrlokson, the driver, received about ten shot in his right oheek, and John Brennan, oi 11 Park plaoe, got three or four In the back part or bia eoalp.

When yonng Herman saw wbst he had done be threw down the gun and ran away bnt was afterward arrested by an officer attached to the Third Preolnot.

Special Correspondence of the Eaglo.

Wasbinotoh, September 15, 1878. In the absence of the President, Secretary Sherman, by and with tbe consent and advice or Secretaries Erarts, Schurz and Attorney Oeooral Devon, bas attempted to win tho favor and enhance tbo gloomy prospects of the masses of tbe Republican party. Frightened and demoralized by tbe wreck of the party in ifane, ft wis doemei oy Mr. Hayes' statesmen to throw a aop to tbo Greenbadters. Accordingly, a back track on tbe road to resumption waa taken.

Tbe issue of silver dollars bas bseo. praotlcally stopped, and the orjcr whioh would have gone Into effect to morrow, providing for the oxobauge of silver dollars for legal tenders, has been rescinded. This action, oausing so muoh dismay to the friends of honosl niooey, who believed that tbo Diueury uio woum steadily pursue the oiurse ha had mapped out to attain resumption by tbo easiest and most natural methods, was taken in the hope of securing a few Greenback votes for soft mmir Ilepublican nominees inclose congressional dlstricta. If the Administration hopea to unite the Republican party by catering to ita financial fallacies, or thinks to seoure the aid of conservative soft money ballots at tbo polls by stifling resumption, it la groatly mltaken. Tho step has been taken too late in tbe day.

For months past Mr. Sberman has been Implored by the soft money wing or tbe party to avoid aU action looking toward reaumptlon until the actual tlmo tor resumption arrives. They told him that eaoh new move looking toward the exchange ot ailver cum IOr greenbacks wouii bo made tha oxouss for howl about contraction starvation. Houost John ignored tbeae appeals. lie said tbat he would not begin to pay uui goia coin untu januarr 1.

1879. hnt th. law Justified him in nutllnu out tlia hi lars, and into circulation they must go. Ao election waa held in Maine. Tbe strength of tbe Greenbaok element was felt.

Two Congressmen, counted aa safe for the Bepublicau party, wero defeated. Mr. Sherman, with the truo Instincts or tbo trimmer, sniffed tha storm, and reversed bia silver policy oompletoly. Secretary Sherman's conduct in this matter should be a warning to Congress to frame its laws in such a manner that the officers of tbs Oovornment shall be compelled to execute them properly. It Is unsafe to permit a politician to exiroise hla personal judgment as to the meaning of a law.

Congress remonetiaei the silver dollar and gave it lsgal tender The Silver bill was foollahly beliovod by Ita supporters to be an act of relief to the country. It was tha intention of those who paaaad the bill that lu provisions shonld be carriod Into effeot at once. Silver dollars were to flow from Ihe mints to th, pockitsof the people, an assurance of aolid money and plenty of it. Bat Congress left the manner and time of putting tbe ailver dollar in circulation to tbe discretion of tbe Secretary of the Treasury. On the 81st of May last Congress passed a law forbidding the furlhcr retiroment of United State lega fonder notes.

Thla law. after explicitly stating tbat it shall not oa lawful for tbo Secretary of tho Treasury or any officer under him to cancil or retirj any moro of the United States legal tender notes, continues "And when any of said notes be rodeomed or received into the Treasury, under any law, from any aiuroa whatever, and shall belong tu the United States, tbey shall not be retirej, canoellod or destroyed, but tbey ahall be reissued and paid out again and kept in circulation," This law haa given Mr. Sherman much trouble. Ha pretends, or did pretend until last Friday, tbat be desired to exchange silver dollars for legal tender notes. When polltioal considerations Impelled tbe Secretary to abandon hla polloy of putting tho silver dollar in circulation ha beat a retroat behind the law prohibiting retirement of legal tender notes.

His argument was in this wise "I would like to exchango silver dollara for legal lenier notes, but tbe law says I muat pay out greenbacks as fast aa I receive tbem. I can't exchange sliver for greenbacks and then give the greenbacks away. Ttio law forbids me to retire, oaa cel or destroy tbsm. It says I must keap thoin in olr. dilation." Thla is a weak evasion on Mr.

Sberman'a part to avoid tho Issno of tbe sllvor dollar to tbe people as con tsmplated by law. If Congress to morrow should pass an aet authorizing the Issue of thre buodrei millions more of greenbacks and commanded tbe Secretary of the Treasury lo pay them out an 3 put thom In circulation he could do practically nothing with tho money unless Congress at tbs same time made appropriations, lor the ptytnont of which the money could be used. No man otn get a dollar from the Government unlesa he has a claim on tbe Gorcrnmont for a dollar. It Mr. Sherman hal permitted thi exchange at silver dollars furiosi tender notoi and at tbe same time bad paid out tbeae notes aa rapidly as possible after being received, be would havo oooiphed fully with tho intent and meaning of tbe law.

If it be true, as stated, that the Administration, or a majority of tbe Cabioot, are oonvinocl tbat civil aorvice reform is a failure, then an interesting fight In tho Republican party of New Yorli Siate may bo looked for tbis Fall. It Is too late to hops to bridge the split in the party at large, made by tbs Pretident in hla reform appointments. Tbe President's attention bat been called to tho fact that without violating Civil Service Bsform Order Nj. 1, be oannot hope to vanqulah Oonkllng in New York. L.

There baa been considerable swearing among these warm friends ot tha Prod dent, too, after conferences with him. They say that he Is lukewarm, has no backbone, and does not realize the danger lu the Empire State. In truth, Mr.

Hayea ia in a piokls. If he beats Cookling, the Bopublloan party of tbe State will be diamembered. rhen tbe curses of party leaders everywhere will be hurled upon hla bead. If ha la beaten by Oonkllng, the aneera and jeers of his oppo bouts will be bard to endure. Mr.

Hayes haa been In formed fully of tbe alliano 1 between Tammany and Conkllng. One or two of the wire pullers of tbe anti Tammany crowd bave slyly visited Washington and told the President how ha can secura tha eloction of four RcpubUcan Assemblymen from tbe city, who will pledge themselves to do all in 'their power to beat Conkllng. Little Johnny Davenport la in Ihe power of the Administration if It chooaea to use him. Indeed, rumors have been floating about that Daveoport is to be removed, bnt no confirmation of tbe report can be obtained. Davenport la in trouble concerning the allowance of bia foes by tbe United States Court, and be baa vialtsd tbe Attorngy Genoral hero to endeavor to adjust matters.

Hla miasion failed its'object, however. A prominent New York politician who waa hire last week say's that the subordinates in tbe Custom House have nnderaooe a change of heart since Arthur stepped out and Merritt took bis plica.

BEECHER His Iiccturo Season on Pacific Slope. the An Ovation to the Plymouth Pastor iu the Golden State Immense Audiences and Cordial Greetings at Erery Point Inci dents ot the Trip 1'be Faro troll Address iu San Francisco Homoward Bound. Correspondence ot the Eagle.

San FraNoisqO; September 0. Bev. Henry Ward Beecher's leotm season in California closed to night. His progress through the Golden State had been a series of triumphs. Immense audiences have greeted him at every point, and evaiTwhere his reooption has been cordial and enthusiastic SiDce his arrival on the l'ciflo slope he has delivered twenty lectures aDd preached three times.

On MoDday next the Plymouth pastor and his party turn their faces eastward, stopping one night at Salt Lake City, three nights in Colorado, at Omaho, Des Moines and other places, reaohing Chicago on October 3. Mr. Beeoher will lecture la Chicago and will then loave for home. He cxpeota to reaoh Brooklyn In tlmo to prosoh in Plymouth Churoh'ou the first Sunday or October. Among the most agreeable Incidents of the Journey was tUs introduction of the Issturer to a large audience in the Metropolitan Temple on the occasion of his fourth address.

Rev. Dr. Jewell, who presented him to the assemblage, referred to him as one who had been given a public, reoeptlou suoh as had never been accorded any other man by the oltizem oi California. The desire to bear the distinguished orator was so intense that threo mora lectures ware delivered in San Francises and Oakland. The last one was given this evening in the Grand Opera House, one of the largest auditoriums In the olty.

The audlenoe completely filled the building. ProsiJont Hastings, of the Society of California Pioneers, under whose auspices the address was made, the ieoturer in some oompllmentsry remarks. Applause folloWv t6v introduction. liOUB OOUNTBY." Mr. Beeohor's theme was "Our Countrj." He bpgaa with ao expression of tbe gratification which tie had ttH in hla YiBlts to tbe State, and followed it with a reference to tho prominence of California before the civilized world and its enormous rojourcos.

He than paid a glowing tribute to the greatness of this coun try. ''The Germane," he said, "have a phrase in metaphysics of oertaln things, tbat tbey are unthinkable. Tne territory of these United Ststee is unthinkable. Man oannot take in the vastutss of this conception, and upon this territory they havo sowed the young2 tbe enterprising, tbo strong, the wise, tho culture oi every nationality on the globe." Referring to the birth or Libert? tne speaker end boo was not born in America. Uore ahe bad attained her womanhood.

We ebould be false to history and to the men far away la the times alrnmel by antiquity if we supposed tbat we had originated the We bad but inherited the seed oo n. We were indebted for the first gouulne ideas of all government and commonwealth to that noble old elock whose BtaDdins is not worn out yet the Israelites and in the commonwealth that sprung up under Moses we sae the initial steps, the gradual forms aud yet wonderfully sagacious elements of those commonwealths which now are beginning apparently to taku possession of tbe whole world. Mr. Beecber next explained the meaning of free government, and then went on to show that the question of the framework of a government, while it is profoundly interesting, is not near so important or so interesting as the governments tbat grow up underneath that government. On the subjoot of "Qorernment by the People" he said "aOVEBNMBNT BY THE PEOPLE." So then tho oircmusUncea of a great nation com posed of separate StatoB, each of wbloa retaiug a certain amount of local Independence, but contributes enough of its original power to constitute a great ana strong uonorai ttovernmenc, That proo lem has been settled and admitted in the schools of Europe, and is ooming now to be better understood there, among tnoughtfnl and exploring men than it is even by ourselves; but the question of the framework of a government, while it Is profoundly interesting.

Is not near so Important or so interesting as the questions that grow up underneath that government. It is safe for obe dienoe to the law and for order that men should do as thoy pleuso, for that is the way in whioh self government sounds in monarchical Europe. Will not men naturally run to tbe animal; will they not naturally Inflame their passions aud oomo to all manner of rages? Is there another government on tbe face of the earth for the last hundred years that has maintained such social ordor, such obedience to law, as the American Government has gono through, such margins of poverty, of wealth, of agitation of Intestinal evils of the most gigantic character, of wars aud reformations out ot wars? I tell you that a republican government over an intelligent and a free people Is the moat conservative government on the laoe of the earth. Applause. When Jaws are made for a people and pressed down by the military hand of tbe government, the government itself does not know it has not the consent of tbe government altogether or always, and it doos not dare to be so oogent and so energetio as in a free government, wlure the laws come from tbe people and are for tbe paople, aud where the peoplo them aelves, from north to south and from east to west, understand tbat the welfare of eaoh and all depends upon tho malntenauoe of those laws which prooeod out or their own juagos, ana wnion represent tne iioeny and tbe happiness of tbe whole body of tile citizens.

But ran it be possible that mCTamy should nourish under suit) ft government 1 Can it be possible tbat there will not ba a license, riotous lioense Well, tho gauge and tost of publlo morals is tbe condition of the household, and I oballeage the world to look upon this infallible thermometer and teat of' the moratity of the Amorlcan people. Where is motherhood more intelligent where is fathorhood more Just where is home dcarsr where Is tbe household purer and nobler than in Amorica, from north to south, from east to west We are a peoplo of families, and the borne altar, and home fidelities, and home lives, are very fountains, out of wbloh spring our industries and our ambitions, and except here and there, whsre the breath of a foul literature has been breathed upon our thither shores, throughout the land the virtue and the noble religious fervor of the Christian household is one of those elements of strength, of purity and of endurance which characterizes the republican government of America. THE BANOTITI OF PEOPEBTY. Look then at the Bancllty of property. Governments abroad are made strong for the maintenance of civil order and for the rights of property, and it bas always been the fear of men on the other side that in a free republican government where laws spring, tr need be, from tho passions, from the prejudioss, from the ignorance of the people, tbat it would be to waste, to disturb and unsettle.

But how has it been In a laud where every young man expeots to organize propetty; in a land where tbe millions of men have this holy ambition to lift their chtldren higher up in the plane of life than they themselves were when they were ordained into households; in a publlo sentiment formed in a nation whore all mankind cau poisais the soil in fee slmp'e you may raise a temporary eddy and a momentary flurry here or there under special clroum atances; but to undertake to break up the foundations of properly and to undertake to wreck the stability of affairs, Is as preposterous as it would be to undertake to change the oourse of tbe auu in tbe heavens, or of the seasons upon tho earth. Applause.l Mr. Beecher next proceeded to a discussion ot slavery and tho war, taking the ground that the South was wrong in tbe conflict and the North was right. Be paid a high compliment to tbe army, saying tbat the men most moderate, most conservative, moat profoundly loving peace, seeking only civil good are the omoera of our armies North and South. THE STUFF WE ABB MADE OP.

But the danger ib not yet paBsed, it is thought, for the burdons of war are light, upon an Inflated ourrency. When men dig gold out of their farms it is slow work to accumulate when men dig gold out of the bowels of the mountains it is not an easy task to amasB treasures. But when men make money wl th a printing press, ob, how easy it is to make monoy, and the Government swarmed tbo land with promises promhos which fortunately It bos paid and is paying not in promises again, as some men desired, but in the world's ourrency. They are fulfilling their currency. But upon tbe country where there had been such a vast expenditure, whoro the Government had sent out its bonds, not by tens of millions or hundreds of millions, but by thousands of millions, when the interest every year had to be taxed as tbe meat of men's brains, everywhere they signed, by a where is the indebtedness to press down the industry of the people.

Ah, "now," say men now you will find the stuff of which a self sovernlns Deople is made." Yes, we have found it out. Applause. There was as distinct an effort lnariB reDudiatlon as ever was attempted in the hin torv of mankind. raero were manj dodio eiatesmen, him o( rising aspiratlous, tbe saintly Butler, who aspires to thi presidential seat, bad ready for tho sup posed popular approuauou a buoury 01 repudiation, a little amootn, for even the serpent often slimes hie rabbit before he swallows it, that it may gz a little easier down a little disguised but It was repudiation to the core.

They aroepted tbe burden, and they have established a reputation for Integrity and honesty that will never perish out of the history of their nation. And allow me to Bay anticipating what I sball recur to that when this vote came, it was not the New Englandor, the New Yorker, the Pennsylvania, tbe Ohioan, it was tbe German vote, It was the foreign vote, that very laigely turned the aoale iu that oonfliot, and we owe to the Integrity and tbe fidelity and honesty of our foreign rBan that we ate not i nation of repudiaton to day, of the most shameful kind.

He then made soma suggestions of a practical nature for tha Stats of California. Among other things on this braaoh of tho suo ject, ho said May therefore, suggest that the relio of the pastoral life and of the plantation life should be done away not by a violent lufraotion of vested rights, but by the Bteady and gentlo operation of a public sontiment, and that large holders of land should make haste to cut it up into email fatms, and tuat it should bo the endeavor In the whole of thla beautiful State to multiply smell holders, small households, for the power of tha State will stand in its lower industries, and not in tbe occMional elevation of a sin. gle man wltn I mountain of gold for hla throne, 1 mako these BuggestlODs with such diffidence as beojmes a stranger in your midst.

I only know that the nations most do prosper by such a subdivision ol labor as makes the whole mass of society a hive of industry. May I also suggest that there never will be pesoe In this groat State, with such a power of wealth and pro auction as it ba, unless you secure tor yourselves an intelligent common peoplo, OTJB SOHOOIjS AND SOHOOLMABTEB9. May I bo permitted to say that In addition to books and nenspapsrs, which spread their saintly covarlng over suoh a multitude of sins mar I be oermittad say that tbewelfarj of California uught more than the research for silver and gold, or hidden treasure, to ba the research for intelligence for tbe spread ot scbools, auj the spread ot every usage that feuds to sharper!

I'll not undertake to say that tne that feci at the publlo treasury and the orlb for political services' are overpaid. I'll not undertake to say that it Is your fault if large sums be squandered by men that through indiscretion are permitted to do It; bnt this I will say, woe to the State where the ODmmon achoule are suffooatod or aro sbabby. I say more than this, I will say that every State that wants to ijvj (pjelf from the ruffian hind, that wants to establish property aud respecta bility upon permanent foundations the policy of 6vcr such State Is to give eyes to the blind, to give life to the desd, to give knowledge to mon besotted in isnofando.

Parsons Eminent Medi leal Experts in Court. Dr. Ofdronaux. State Commissioner in Lu nacy, made an order dlrootinir tha CommlsainriAra nf Charitlea of Kings County to refrain from removing Dr. Parsons, Medical Superintendent of the Lnnatle Asylum, nntll cause was shown sstisfaotory to tbe the Commiasionera for his removal.

Thla order, It is damned, was disobeyed and an order to show cause waa obtained why the Commissioners should not be punished for contempt. When tbe latter order came on for hearing, an order was made reatorlng Dr. Parsons, who had been removed, until an order to show cause why Dr. Ordronaux's original order should not be conflxmod, was decided. Tula order was returnable lo There was large numbor of eminent medical gentlemen in court, among them Dr.

Ordronaux, Dr. W. H. Hammond, Professor E. Begum, M.

of Columbia College; Dr. Berge, Dr. Hutcblns, of the Kings County Medical Sohool; Dr. Hutchinson and several others. The Commissioners of Charities were in court.

Hr. W. Sullivan and Corporation Counssl Wm. C. DeWitt, apooially retained by Mr.

Sullivan, appearod for the Commissioners and Dr. 8haw, whom tbe Commissioners appointed in Dr. Parsons' place. Dr. Ordronaux and Dr.

Parsone were represented by Mr. C. E. Ly decker. The Hon.

JasDer W. Gilbert presided. THZ FfiOOEEDINOS. Mr. Bullivan said that tho only material gneitlon was as to tho competenoy of Dr.

8haw. Mr. Lydecker asid tbat the question of Dr. Shaw'a competency did not enteB Into the matter, as tt waa not questioned. It was purely question of law as to Dr.

Ordronaux's power. Mr. Sullivan said ba would submit tbe matter on that statement. Judge Gilbert wished tbe matter to be adjourned until Saturday as he waa not well, Mr. Lydecker said tbat tbey would admit Dr, Shaw's competency for tbe purpose of tbe motion.

Mr. Sullivan said that he bad some of most eminent members of the profession to testify to Dr. Shaw's competency; among them Dr. Hammond, Dr. Sequin, and Dr.

Hutch ins. He would also band up tbeir affidavits. Thoy bad struck tbe wrong man when they atruok Dr. Shaw. Justice Gilbert said that the difficulty he felt was twofold 1, Was the statute of 1876 Intended to authorize Dr.

Ordronaux to rf rnerlv ftTlntinir Avffa tr. r. 90 him tbe power to antloipale wrong and guard axuiust 11 Dy an oraer 7 ana wneiner cause lor tbe removal of Dr. Parsons was satisfactorily shown to tbe Commissioners, and whether the cause ebown to them before Dr. Ordronaux' order was served waa aufflclan t.

Mr. DeWitt asked for two minutes. Dr. Ordronaux had no pretense to interfere unless Inadequate medloal provision or skill in the Superintendent was shown, or for the release of sane persons. Tha Commissioners bad the appointment of officers.

It was the province of the Court to determine whether there ws the inadequacy mentioned in the statute. Jnatice Gilbert oould not agree with Mr. DeWitt. Dr. Ordronaux was authorized to make an order, and in proof of the Commissioners' disobedience, they must be punished.

The ctuse to be ehown was either that they did not disobey, or did not intend to disobey. Mr. Lydecker said that Mr. Do Witt bad not read the atatute, and did not know the poorer of the State Commissioner. Tbe statute provides that where the State Commissioner from evidence found reason to believe that lunatics were OBUE1IT, NEGLIGENTLY OB IMPB OPBBLT 7BEATED, and the proper medical care or treatment was laok ing, he bad a right to interpose.

Justice Gilbert said tbat the Commissioners of Charities claimed that tbey had removed Dr. Parsons before tbe making of Dr. Oraronaux's order to show canse. The question of contompt would be disposed of on tbe decision of this motion. Dr.

Hammond, tbe celebrated Specialist on diseases of tbe mind, was sworn, exception boina tsken by Mr. Lydecker, Dr. Hammond thought that the removal of one Superintendent and the substitution of another equally competent, would not be a detriment to the Asylum. Changes of such a nature were not detrimental unless frequent. Ten minutes was enough to make examination of a lunatic's case.

In cross examination by Mr. Lydecker, Dr. Hammond said tbat miss uicEia waa in a lunatto asylum lor seven years and the Superidtendent never know it until she waa released as sane. Mr. DeWitt called Dr.

Shaw to tostiiy. Mr. Lydecker objected, "aa the proceedings," he said, "were not brought for the purpose of advertising Dr. Shaw." Dr. Sbaw, tvora, testified tbat he could examine a lunatic so aa to understand his case in ten or fifteen minutes.

Dr. Parsons Testified tbat be would consider it necessary to spend much more than ten or Of teen minutes to examine a patient. He might remain in tha Aaylum a year and then not be acquainted with the caso of every inmato. Dr. ward guinwai next examined, and testified to the incompetency of Dr.

Shaw. Dr. Ordronaux explained to the Court tbat he did not make tbe order so as to direct eanse for tbe removal of Dr. Parsons to be ebown to him, becauaa he did not desire to asBUtne too much. He did, however, require tbem to return to him the manner In wblcb tbey bad proceeded, Decision was reserved.

SALARIES. Tlie Sprclal Coiaiinltieo of the Board of Supervisors! Inquirinn; Into tbe Penitentiary Expenses A Hoductlon in the Expense to tlae County front 948,000 in 187 to 95,000 In 1878. The Speoial Committee of the Board of 8upervisorB on Salaries met this morning In open session, Supervisor Fleeman iu the chair, and Supj. Gubner, Moran, Egolt and Tierney present. Mr.

Shevlln, Governor of the Penitentiary, waa before tbe Committee for examination aa to the flnauolal affaire of the institution which he controls. Mr. Shevltn waa sworn and examined. Sup. Fleeman said tbe question bad been raised in executive session aa to whether any rednction could be mado in bis department.

Sup. Fleeman Wbat are you paying your keepors Mr. Bhevlin The keepers are paid $3 per day, except a roundsman and two meohanlct, who also act as guards. Q. What la your own salary A.

$1,000 per annum. have received that amount ainoe I was appointed in 1879. Q. Are tbe difficulties any more onerous now than then 1 A. Tbe dutlos are considerably more, for the reason that tbe labor bas increased fifty per cent, since 1873.

When I took oharge of the institution It cost the county $18,000 over and above tbe earnings. Now the expense to tbe county Is only between $5,000 and $6,000. was tbe meaoB of getting tbe oounty $50,000 moro tor the oontraot by getting up a competition for the contract. Sup. Gubner I waa on the Penitentiary Committee at the time and can indorse what Governor Shevlln says.

Governor Shevlln Tbe office is in tbe nature of a special risk, and I do not think the salary is any too great, in view of what has been accomplisbed. Three years ago it waa tuggeated that thru should be a reduction of twenty five per wn oh was done, in the pay ot the keepers, but tbe Board declined to reduce the Governor'a salary. Wnon It la proposed to reduoe tbe expenses of tbo departments ot the county the Penitentiary will not be bebini. Sup. Fleeman Wbat is tbe difference between the duties of the warden of the Blackwell's Island Pent tentiary and your own duties Governor Sbevlin He is under the direction of the New York Commissioners of Chanties and Correction, who make bis rulea for him.

I make my own rules. Snp. Fiseman He gets $1,600 a year. Gov. Shevlln Tnere are ruen who will take your Penttentiar? without a dollar or salary.

Sup. Moran said he bad visited" the Blackwell's Penitentiary two years ago, and found the warden was only in tha nature of a chief clerk. He was obliged to see Commissioner Brennan about tbe business upon wblch he visited the Island. Governor Shevlln said tbe hall men reoalved fifty cents a day more than the shopmen. Sup, Eglof Why do you pay thom more 7 Governor Sbevlin Tbey are held responsible for the prisoners in the oalls and of what cells they are in.

The gardlner Is down on the list at $3.00 a day, but tbat is a mistake he only neti $2.50. The blacksmith gets $3.50, but he Is a skilled meohanlc. Shoes horses, repairs our wagons, and does all our repairs' work, and ia also utilized as a keeper, If necessary. Sup. Tierney How many employes have you got? Governors.

Inoludlng myself, thirty two. There was one reduction made some time ago of twenty five per to bring the expenses within the appropriation. Mr. Shevlln said further that there was a ood deal of rlBk in position of keeper. We bave to employ men who are trustworthy and oompetent and above temptation.

We had a pbysiolaa there who was offered $600 to get a convict out of the Shop. It is not every man who is employed as a keeper that can bold the position, and I have been obllgej to make ohanges on that aocount. Q. When does tbe oontraot with tbe shoe coai piUJ expire A. Next July, Do you still receive prisoners from other oountles.

Governor Shevlln We etlll receive them, but Just at preient we have no United States prisoners. There waa a charge made tbat we allowed them to go out, and a special agent came from the Federal Government to investigate tbe matter. He then offered to send tbe prisoners from North and South Carolina at $1.20 per week, while Mr. Pulsbury offered to take them for 75 oents, but I wanted and so tbe matter was dropped. Sup.

Tierney said be did not think they could touch the Penitentiary and was opposed to It. Men who worked 86 bonrs out of 18, as the keepers do, were worth $3 per day. Sup. Fleeman said hs thought perhaps there mijht be an opportunity to make some reduction in the Penitentiary aud wanted to Inquire into tbe matter. Governor Sbevlin waa an officer who ind the conAdonce of the press and the public, and be was sura be would do what waa right lu the matter.

This ended the examination and the Committee went Into exeoutivc session.

She told a plain' story there and Deteo tive FoUt was sent down to her husband to see wbat be had got to say. Both their stories ojreed, and Mr, Doyle said that as his Dullness was not very huge he kept ao books, consequently he did not know the nam the person wbo brought the suit of clothes, but he experts him in in three or four 4y.

B. P. DEAD. The Victim of Patrick Reilly's Drunken Fury. The Fact of the Assault and Action of Coroner Sfinms.

Last night Mary Reilly, the woman who was tbrowa out of second story window of bar husband's resldenoe, No, 8J Psvn street, on Sun day morning alea ot her iDjurle at the Long hiand College Hospital. Mrs. Reilly was 48 years of age, a comely and industrious woman, and one who has always keen faithful and affectionate toward ber busband. Patrick Bellly is a 'longshoreman, and bus been at times of a saving disposition, so muoh' so that Us wife had a snug little acoount at the bank, the result of her careful disposition ot his earnings. Tbey ha7e been married about eight years, but Mrs.

Bellly was married before her union ber present husband, ber first husband having died some three years previous to her second marriage. By the first marriage she bad one daughter, who is now married, but no children were born on the aeoond union. for tho last year Bellly bas greatly altered In his habits, and has at timea takon to drink. He would go off for three or four days or for a week at a time, and on sush occasions be drank ao freely that he was beside himself with liquor. On his arrival borne in this condition be seemed to be possessed with tbe spirit of a demon, rather than that of a man, and he would beat his unoffending wife on the slightest provocation.

A week ago Saturday be returned from work at nix o'clock, and his wile aaw then tbat he had been drink ink. She bugged him to remain in the house and drink no more, but he, with a volley of oaths, told ber to hold her tongue, that he would suit himself. His temper soon found a ohance to display itaelf, for bis wife had been out VISITINO EOME FBIENDS, and had returned home a little lator than she had Intended to have done, consequently, when her husband arrived home at six o'clook, bis supper was not quite ready, and be abused her terribly about it, telling her that If she thought more of her friends than she did of blm, that she bad better go and live with tbem. He would be if he would work and slave to bup port a woman who paid no attention to his wanti and wasted the time elsewhere that should be devoted to his Interests. The poor woman tried to explain and sought to detain her husband, so that he would not take any more liquor.

Ho ordered her roughly away from him and refused to romaln until hla aupper was cooked, announcing his intention to go outalde to some place where he could got treated with some sort of regard. Mrs. Bellly then asked him to leave some of hla monoy and not spend it all in drink, but he thrust her aside and went out the house in a drunken fit of anger. Mrs. Bellly waited for bis return until nearly midnight, and tlion, supposing ha was off for two or three days, she locked the door of her apartments and lay down upon the bed.

The unfortunate oouple occupied two rooms upon the second floor of the bonse in Dean street, and whioh is at tho oorner of Boerum place, and abe was lying half dressed upon the bed in the front ono, at an early hour on Sunday morning, when she heard the footsteps of her usband asoendlng the stairs. He was ia a state of very far advanced intoxication, and when he tried. tha door asd found it looked p. H3 BAVED AND OUB8ED FUBIOTJSIx and threatened to kill hla wife. She became bo terrified that she was afraid to open the door, and as she had no means to esoape from their apartments, eroept by the door at wbloh her husband was then kicking in hla drunken frenzy, she sought to barrloade It so as to keep him out for a time, hoping that be would leave the house and give her a ohanoe to.

bide away from hla vengenoe. For this reason she piled up some of the heavier articles of furniture oontalned in tbe room and this enraged her husband still more. He finally burst open the door, and for refuge Mrs. Reilly fled into the Inner room and looked and bolted that door also. Her husband made for it at onoe, and.

Id a few minutes foroed it oft Its binges by brute strength and in all hla passion and fury confronted the trembling woman, whose piteous appeals tor meroy were beard by the oocupants ot the other part of the house, Bellly deliberately opened the window, and, dragging hla wife to It, aotually threw 'ber out, and she fell to the sidewalk. She was taken up by some of the neighbors, who, hearing ber screams, bad hastily dressed themselves and were In tho act of going into Bellly's rooms to see what tbe trouble was as the latter cast the poor woman out of tbe window. She was found to be unconscious and woe unable to move. She was tenderly lifted up and placed on a lounge In the front room on tbe lower floor of tbe bouse and tbe ambulance was sent for. In the meantime some of the neighbors, many ol whom gathered aronnd the house, ran in search of a policeman and aucoeeded in finding Officer Fitzalmmone, who went to Bellly's apartments and arrested blm.

When tbe officer got np stairs Bellly was found lying on the bed in a drunken atupor, aud ha had hardly regained sufficient consciousness when he arrived at tbe station house to realise wbat he had done. The ambulance arrived with Sr. Cochran and THB INJURED WOMAN was quickly placed In it and removed to the Long island College Hospital, It was there discovered that she bad sustained severe internal injuries and tbat her skull was badly fraotured above the left ear. The pbyslclana performed an operation upon her last Tuesday, and suoaeeded in removing some portions ot tho skull, but It was not considered at any time that she wa? out of danger. Site has remained in tbe Hospital ever slnoe, and although she received the most careful medloal attendance, her Injuries were of suoh a nature that they oould not be otrred, and she expired last night as has been stated.

Coroner Henry 0. Slmms has ordered a post mortem examination to be made, and will not hold the inquest until to morrow or the day after. Riilly Is In Raymond street ill, where be was oommltted to await tbe result of bis Injuries by Juetioe Ferry. Mrs. Reilly was a native of the County Cavan, Ireland, and it seems tbat this last brutal experience she had with her busband was not the first of its kind.

About a year ago Reilly threw, her out of a first story window of the house In wbloh. they lived, bit she fell upon the awning and escaped with a few alight ibrulses. UOBNbfARlsn. The Persistent ana Mysterious Attempts made to Fire a Long Island City Tenement. Peter Koster and James Scully own two double tenements, two stories high, on Jaekson avenue, between Fifth and Sixth streets, Long Island City.

KoBter's buildings were several tlmoi aet on fire, but eaoh tlmo the fire was discovered and extinguished before any serious damaga had rssnlted. Eoster was arrested, by a policeman with having attempted to burn his ou property. Nothing oould ba proved against him, and he ttu dlsoharged. The tenants vacated Koater's apartments and went to Soully's, and ever sines attempts have been made, both by day and by night, to destroy Soully's building, lira. Grady was one of tha tenants who moved from Hosier's apartments to Soully's, and In ber apartments, beforo she nlOT8lI 010 nt1 twioe been discovered in ber bureau.

She hto boon residing in Soully's bouse three days before a ftre ocourred Id two places in her apartments, one of them being is the same bureau. The fires bad gained considerable headway, and either by lira or water nearly the whole of Mrs. Grady's eff iots were ruined. Th house, too, was considerably damaged by water. MBS.

OBADT ASKED TO VACATE. Mr. Scully, though not accusing Mrs. Grady, of any offense, ordered her to vaoate, whioh ahe failed lo do until Wednesday last, when she had little to remove. She had not been gone from the bouse an hour when fire waa discovered in the rear cellar, in a barrel, aud before that was wholly extinguished, fire was discovered in four othor places, and the alarm Wat given, In the front baaament, used as a bedroom, a valise, filled with paper was found to be burning.

Tbat extinguished, three fires were diioovarod burning at one time on the floor above. One was In the bedroom, under the bedstead, wbtre quantity of olothlng waa lying. Tbo second was on top of a table, and beneath a table was a bed not yet dry from the water poured upon it at the previous fire. The third was burning In tbe ball, on the floor, near the base)board. The occupant of these rooms was In tbe yard at tbe time the fires were discovered.

This all oocurred in tbe day time. At ten o'olock that nigut, while Sergeant McManus was In the honse Investigating the origin of tbe flree, and talking to Mies Kate Brown, there was a sudden flash of light in the hall. On opening the door, be found a straw and hair mattrsas tn a blnzj. The Sergeant made a thorough search of the premises without discovering the first sosploloas olraumstauce, snd he and the fire Marshal were more puzzled than ever. A LITTLB LATEB.

Two hours later, on the aama night, fire was discovered in a baiket filled with papor and shavings in a room in the aeoond story. It was extinguished without any damage. At four o'olock, Saturday afternoon, fire was discovered among a lot of clothes in an old trunk under tbe stairway in tha main hall. The person who started the fire, removed tbo olotbing from Mrs. Brown's apirtments and placed tbem In tbe trunk.

This is the tenth attempt made to burn tho building in two wooks, KRHUERiOK S. MAS.SEy, JOHN KLA11KRTY. OBOUURC. liESKKT Coinniisr oi City Wnrlti. D.
