i O'CLOCK EDITM WEDNESDAY EVENING. JUNE 17, 1885. THE ISERE. Bartholdi's Statue Beaches the nURRTING THE APPOINTMENTS. A Delegation of TiimujanF Braved Waiting Cleveland.

Special to the Eaglo. Washington, June 17. A delegation of Tammsny men, consisting of Hugh Grant, Jouu McQuade, Thumas F. Gflroy aud Edward F. Fitzgerald, wero visitors at the Whlto House today.

Thoy would not say what their mission was about, but it is believed thoy called to ask tho President to hurry up with tho Federal appointments tu Now York. It was stated at tho White House to day that nothina would be done in the mattors of Federal officers in Brooklyn for at leaHt two weeks. In tbc event of tho dismissal ot General Smith from tho Navy, iy Inspeotor Stephenson, of Brooklyn, will be an applloant for tho position. It is generally b.lieved that thj court martial will recommend Genoral Smith's dismissal. 100 prepared by the Supervisor.

Mr. Barnett claimed that the trustees only bad the right to determlno the mount. Tho Mayor told Mr. Barnett that the Item had coma from tbe Supervisors, and under tbo law the Board of Estimate could not Increase any amount sent it, though it might make a reduction. Mr.

Barnett must look to the Supervisors for action. Ex Senator Dcmas Strong was Informed, in reply to a question put to tbe Mayor, that there would be no change In the appropriations for hospitals and dispensaries. The Board, in Committee of the Whole, considered the county bndget and Supervisor Barnes said that $25,000 asked for repairs to court rooms was needed. Mayor Low said that tbe amount allowed last year for Sheriff's fees for board of prisoners, ice, $50,000, ought to be enough. Tbe item of $70,000 bad been inserted in the requisition for next year, with tbe idea that the Legislature would pass a certain bill which it did not pass.

He moved that the item be made $56,000, and that the item of $15,000 for supplies, gas, fuel, tc, at the jail, be reduced to $10,000. Carried. No change was made in the items of $8,000 for repairs and additions to buildings, $3,200 for salaries of pbyslolsns and surgeons, and $32,175 repairs and additions to old jail building, (as per contract). The increase of the salary of the Third Anilstaut District Attorney from $1,500 to $2,500 was allowed. The Board reduced the item of $8,600 Tor salaries of Supremo Court clerk and assistants to $7,500, which la the current appropriation.

Tho sum of $2,100 was allowed for the salary of Deputy Commissioner of Jurors against $1,900 now paid. yor Low objected to a proposition to Increase it to $2,500. Also a proposition to pay a clerk In the Commissioner or Jurors' office $1,500 Instead of $1,200, but the $1,500 was allowed. No change was made lu the Item of $41,520 for salaries of Supervisor, clerks, etc. This is an Increase of $1,500 over the current year.

The item of $27,750 for repairs and additions to armories waa reduced to $17,500, and the item of $40,000 on account of old loans to $25, 000. Mr Tallmadge, secretary of the Board of Education, mado a brief explanation ol tho increas of items In the educational estimate, ahowlng that it was duo largely to the growth of tho city. He dirocted attention to the fact that by the apportionment of State Bchool moneys among the different counties uuder tho so called Gilbert Law of 1885, tbe amount tbat came to Kings County would be reduced by about $23,000. This reduction rendered necessary a corresponding increase In tha original requisition of tho Board. Held for the Grand Jury by Justice Walsh To day.

The Brutal Assault Committed by Thonu Connolly and John Ste wart How Thomaa Ward Fared at Their Handi. When Justice Walsh cnlkil Thomaa Con noUy and John Stewart lo tl bar this morning, a couple of desperate looking young rrcu answered tha summons, and at the same tim another man, with hia head and throat lock hi' at In the witness chair. His name was Thomas w.nd. You are charged with a fclonlou. assault on Thonutf Ward," said Judge Walsh to tho prisoner.

We waive examination," said Con uolly, You don't want to be tried now 7'' Na" Well, I shall havo to commit you await the aa. tion of tbe Grand Jury, and lu doing so It la my duty to Uko a statement from each you, aud also to tali you tbat you need not answer any question should that answer tend lo criminate yuurrtvfa," "There ain't no use of saying anything here," oiid Connolly, In a dogged way, "a wo don't want either." You stand committed," was tuo Judge's reply, and tho prisoners wero led back to the ctl. Thoma Connolly about 20 y.ars old, and baa at ready served over five ye.irs in prison for varioog oflcniics. Ho was dlschargid from tho I'eultoutiary on Friday last, and six hours after be was again In cua tody for a most brutal asault ou the man Ward. II ecuis tbat when Connolly left tbo custody of Warden Groin, after having served alx mouths for assault ixt the second degree, be went to bis old haunts in Hadson avenue.

He mot his old companion Stewart, and the pair proceded to raise enough money to to purchase drinks. They were In a Hudson avenue saloon when Ward entered, and, aa both Connolly and Stewart wero a qualnted with; bim, thsy inflated that he tteat. II. refused, and thoy demanded money from hlin. Ho said bo had none to give, whereupon Connolly became very abusive, and Insisted on Ward furnishing the drinks.

Ward would not do It, and Stewart caught hli arms and held Ibera behind his back whllo Counully anized a half filled ssltzor water bottla and struck Ward orei tbe head with It, Inflicting a Bcalp wouud throe iucbos long. Ha struck blm a second time, aud tho blood flow! frost another wound. Tbe second blun broke tho bottle, aad Connolly drew tbe jagged cdc of tho broken syphon across vVard'a throat, causing a rrible gash. All this was the work of half a minute, aud if assistance had not arrived the cbancea arc tbat Ward would have been killed. As It was, tho two desperadoes took to thehf heeli, but a buo and cry followed them, and they srersj captured by the police and ItK ko I up.

"Connolly," said Judge Walsh lo an Eaole reporter, "Is a bad character. He's been in and out of prison oyer sinco he was 18 years old. All efforts to reclaim him havo failed signally. Stewart has been often before me, too, but mostly for drunkenness, no's not near as bad as the other fellow. I don't think that Connolly would hesitate to taHe a nun's life whn ha gets lu a passion, and if he doe n't look out for nim.

So. ft: jlkmtuilk; Al. CARPKTS, BKDDING AM) STUVKS, LINDLKY Z. His Views Eegarding the Veto of the Bridge Bill. Whj He Thinks Gororner Hill Aotod Wisely A "Rider" that Wonid Hare Caused Litigation Compliments to the Legislature.

"Governor Hill did wisely in vetoing tho Bridge bill," said ex Mayor Howell yoaterday to an Eagle reporter. It waa bad bill and had it been otgned it would have caused an immense amouut of litigation. The rider which was added to the bill after was sent to Albany, delaying until 1890 the payment of money into tbe Sinking fund, was a violation of tbe city's contract with the bridge bondholders and would have oanaed a great amount of trouble. When tha matter was considered by the Board of Trustees I saw that It would be impossible to reach an unanimous decision in regard to legislation. Tha trustees were apparently all of one mind in regard to the necessity for tho extouiton on the New York eide.

I accordingly prupared a bill providing singly for that extension, which I sent to Mr. Jacobs In the Senate and Mr, Earl la the Assembly. Tbe bill was not progrojsed. Had the bill been urged aa I desired, It doubtless would have passed both Houses and have become a law. Legislation to provide for tbe extension on tho New York side was absolutely necessary, aud those who defeated it by tacking to tho bill iniquitous railroad schemas must bear tho responsibility and settle the matter with the public." What do you think of the last Legislature Without exception, it was one of the worst wo havo ever had.

I do not wish to criticise the Brooklyn members, because most ot them stood by the city well in the bridge bill matter, aud for that are entitled to much credit. I readily understand how It is in large bodies like our State Legislature tbat members are often compelled to vote for questionable measures in order to pan their own bills. It is, 'you voto for my bill aud I will vote for aud it Is only by trading aud bartering In that way tbat mambers obtain tho required number of votes to past a measure, no matter how good it is. Of course, such motbods of legislation are all wrong. The voters should use to It that men who ara sent to the Senato or Assembly are above euch things." DISTURBANCE AT A FUNERAL Reaiilllug: In Two Siiiiaj (or Damages In tUp City Court.

Mrs. Margaret Webh, of 78 Portland avenue, learned early In the month that a friend who re Bided at 103 Navy street had died. On Monday, the 8th, sho attended the wake there, and on Tuesday afternoon she returned to attend the funora). When she entered tho hallway of the houso sho was met, sbe aUoes, by Edward Dillon, who owns tho bouse, the grocery ntore, a liquor saloon and a dozen contiguous tenement houses. He opposed her entrance, aba avers, calling her a vilo name aud Bayiug: "You don't live with your husband." Then, tbo fair plaintiff charges, the old man knocked her down.

Mrs. Welsh felt badly hurt, moro in her feelings than physically, for she has lived with her huBband since thoir marriage. She has now commenced two suits in tbo City Court, ono for $5,000 damages for slander and another for (3,000 for assault. Mr. John S.

He ruatied toward Ton Kyck street and In a vcay few minutes had a crowd numbering about ouo hundred persons at his heels. Tho course ho took was down Ten Eyck street to Leonard etreet. The croa weut fast, but bo wont for a While much faster. As ha nearcd Leonard street, however, his speed slackened and tho pursuers began to gain upon bim.

At Ltonard straet he doubled ou his pursuers and kept well ahead of thom through Ten yck streot till he arrived at Graham avenue, where being quite exhausted, he was taslly captured by the crowd aud given In oharge of a Sergeant of Sixth Pn ctnct Polico and by bim taken back to tha hospital. An Eagi.k reporter ascertained this morning from Dr. Uloodgood, of St. Catharlno's Hospital, tbat the man'a name was Fetor Fannin, and that he'haa beon in the hospital about a weak suffering from dctueutis.

California's crop of wheat this year will probably not exceed 24,000,000 bushels, or thrce ieveuths of a crop. The yield of fruit will be large and of good quality. Net earnings of the Union Pacific for April show a decrease of $214,407, cutting down tho nat gain for tho first four mouths to $260,158.

May and June earnings are expected to show au Improvement. The Ohio Board of Agrieulture ha complied a statement of the wheat shortage, which shows a decrease of bushels compared with tho average of tho past five years, and 210,000,000 comparod with last year. The report concludes by stating that this year's wheat crop wilt bo the most disastrous faiiuro for nearly a Bcore of years. Stocks were dull aud inclined to recovery early this afternoon.

I The Tale of a Cow Which Led to a Good Deal of Trouble. In tho Court of Sessions this morning Christopher Hildebrandt, who keeps a truck farm and urteen bloodhounds on Meeker avenue, was placed on trial on an Indictment for grand larceny, second do gree. Detective Stephen Donlon, of the Boventh Precinct, testified that in September last be went to arrest the defendant on a warrant lor stealing a cow belonging to a neighbor named Johnson. Hildebrandt applied foul epithets to him and called up his sou, who threatened to shout tho officer. Then the father soized a gun and chased Donlon off the premises.

Alexander Johnson, the owner of the cow, was present, and was posltlvo about the gun, becauss it was dug iu hie ribs. The defendant testified In bis own behalf that when be returned home that night saw the officer and told htm that the cow had strayed Into his promises, that he bad secured it and had given information at the police station. He called his eon up because a bloodhound was loose, and he took a piece of gas pipe with him, which bo had been usiug at tho cider to chase the dog with. He afterward went to the Sixth Precinct Station Houso to get su officor to arrest two men who had come to arrest him. He did no bollevo Donlon to be an officer because he did not see his shield nor hear any warrant read.

The jury believed the gas pipe theory and found Hildebrandt not guilty, Mr. A. F. Jonka for the People Mr. Jerry Wernberg for the defendant.

A VETERAN IN A PAUPER'S GRAVE. Colonel nicl.oer Threaten to Jlake trouble for (he Undertaker. Last January Coroner Menninger held an inquest on John Smith, who died in a Bhauty on Fifth avenue. Smith was a veteran, having belonged to the Twelfth U. S.

Infantry. The law providoa tho sum of $35 for the burial of u'l honorably discharged soldiers who are too poor to pay funeral expenses. The Idea, was to keep veterans out of paupers' graves. John S. Hlnmau, the undertaker, received this sum and burled Smith in tbe poor ground at Flatbuah.

He state that $36 was not sufftcieut to give Smith a decent cofrin and purchase a grave also, but Colonel McLeer Is indignant about tho matter aud threatens to uiaka trouble for the undertaker. STATE CAMP. Governor Hill Reviews the Twenty third Regiment. Dress Parade and Drill at Peekskill This Morning Tito Commaudor ia Chief Compliments the Brooklyn Boys. Special to the Eagle.

State Camp, Peekskill, N. Juno 17. Govereor's day at the State Camp wbb ushered In with a cold rain storm, which compelled tbe omission of the early morning drills. Shortly bofore tattoo last night, a squall of wiud, accompanied by thunder and lightning and a deluge of water, swept over the encampment, sending everybody to quarters iu poet haste with the exception of the sentinels on guard, but doing no damage further tbau tho loosening of a few tent pegs. Blankets were In demand through tho night, and uverooata were universally worn In tho morning up to the time for battalion drill, when the clouds br.ike away and old Sol once more asserted himself, and the mercury again began its upward climb In the meteorologioal department.

Tho sensational report that a membor of tho Twenty third was drowned in Annieville Creek last night while returning to tho camp from Feeksklil, when the storm was at itB height, is utterly baseless. No ono waB missing or unaecouuted for at the roll call at reveille. Governor Hill and staff arrived at the camp from Albany about two o'clock. Tha Commander in Chiof wsa mot at Rot Hook by Commissary General Wylia aud the fi ldand staff officers of the Twenty third, from which point the distinguished visitors were conveyed in carriages to the encampment. The State arrangements for the reception wero in charge of Colouel Joseph G.

Story, Assistant Commissary General, and wero of the most complete description. A Baltite of twenty one guns was fired by the Orduanco Department artillery squad, the guard was turued out and tho regiment was paraded by Colouel Ward and paid tho Govornor the honors preacribed by military etiquette. A large gathering of spectators witnessed the reviow In the afternoon of the Twenty third by the Commander in Chief and tho dress parada of the regiment which followed. Tho ceremonies presented a brilliant military spectacle. Subsequently, Governor Hill held an Informal receptlou at which the officers wero presented to him by Adjutant General Farnsworth.

The Governor looked over the camp, expressing hia gratification at the admirable appearance of the quarters and surroundings and complimenting the reglmeut upon tho proficiency and soldierly qualities disclosed by officers and men. Two moh of Company were to day dismissed from the camp for the flagrant breach of dlsolplino of run niug tho guard after taps and passing tbo night in Peekskill. OFFICER WASSEUMAN OX TRIAL. Conflicting' Sjorlen of a Adventure in the City. Officer Adolph Wassormau, of the Thirteenth Preoinct, was tried in tho Court of Sessions this morning, on an indictmont for assault iu the third degree.

The ooniplainant is George Davenport, a well kuown Ninth Warder, who described himself as a ship fastener, of 701 Washington avenue. He tostifiod that on March 12 he was returning homo from a meeting of Foresters, and had reached Pacific street, on Washington avenue, whon he heard some one call out, "Hey 1" aud thon Officer Wassormau crossed and asked him to get on about his business, at the same tlmo striking him three heavy blowa ou tho back with hisolub. He was perfectly sober. What Waaaaruian said to him was, "You are one of those fresh fellows, aud I'll knock it out of you." Cross examined by Mr. Strauss, Dapenport said ho had not been working at his trade Binco he was laid off at tho Navy Yard last March, but had miudiug reat estate office on Gates avonue.

Ho was well acquainted with a saloon keeper named Brown, and had assisted him to procure his license. For tho dofense Captaiu H. L. Jewett, of the Tenth Precinct, testified that Washerman bore a good character and bad mada a complaint at the station against Brown's saloon. Tho poBt Wasserman had was a rough one, wherd an officer was liable to fl id trouble Wasserman, in his own behalf, testified that on the night in question ho asked Davenport to movo on from where he was standing, and that the complainant, Davenport, replied, "You Sheenoy you can't do anything.

I've got a pall In this ward." The witness stated that at tho time he had a very sore finger aud could not carry his club, which was iu his belt, and thathe did not touch Davenport. Tho jury found the officer not guilty. SLAPPED HIS CHILD OS THE FACE. A IVoiv York I'ol Treatment of IliN "JLosi" Hoy. A boy of "1 years who gave his name as Willie Dugau and his residence as Wost Washington Btreot, New York, was among the lost" children in the Fifth Precinct Station House last evenlug.

The child stated that his father was a policeman. When tho latter entered tho station houo Rome time later the child's delight at seeing him was rewarded by a violent slap on the faco, conplod with the command: "How dare you got lust 1" The mau looked as If he would repeat tho blow whon Officer Tim Phelan interfered and gave him a sound lecturing ou humanity. Tho father statod proudly that ho was a New York policeman and was spending bis vacition iu Brooklyn, so he did not care to lose tlmo looking for lost children. "If you'ro a sample of tho New York policemen no wonder Superintendent Murray thinks it necossary to wood out the force," said Officor Phslan sarcastically. The New York representative of the finest" quietly departed with his boy.

THE SEW CHARITIES COHHISSlONEKS. Mr. Fritz Has Word to Say fur Mr. Hynca. Talk among the politicians in regard to the Charities appointments has not ceased.

Tho energetio type of Republicanism, of which ex County Auditor Frank A. Bigga is a good representative, vows that the Supervisor at Large has driven a doxen large Bized nails Into his own political coffin. It is particularly noticeable among this clement that each of its members joins in lauding ex Alderman Hay and follows the lead of Mr. Bigga in predicting that Mr. Hay's Incumbency of tho office of Commissioner will tend to the great advantage of his party.

It ia by tha extreme partisan Republicans that objection is made to Mr. Fritz's other selection. Why, Mr. Hynes has been practically an unofficial Charities Commissioner, "Supervleor at Largo Fritz said to day, "since he took of tho Charities work in connection with tho society of which be was tho excellent president in this city. The poor and needy have always found him a sympathetic friend and well wisher, while his large acquaintance with tho needB and wants of the poorer class of people with whom hia society has had intimate relations, will stand him iu excellent stead in his new position."

The Board of Estimate met in the Controller's office shortly aftor 11 o'clook to day, all the members being present Mayor Low, Controller Brinkerhoff, Auditor Tooge, County Treasurer Adams and Supervisor at Large Friti. Mr.

A. T. White and Mr. F. W.

Hlurichs, of the Citizens' League; David Barnett, Charities Commissioner Reeve, Joseph H. Hart, Henry Bitterman, A. S. WalBh and others app ssred to speak on different items of tbe budget. Tbe Board received a communication from the Fire Commissioner enclosing a petition of the foreman of the department for an increase of salary from $1,300 to $1,500 a year.

The Commissioner wrote that In his opinion this increase would bo a just one, and would place foremen on a plane with pollco officers of a similar grade. In bis opinion foremen had greater responsibility, performed harder work and wore exposed to greater risks than polico sergeants. The foremen of tho New York Department had rocontly had their salary increased by law from $1,500 to $1,800. The aggregate of the increase proposed for the Brooklyn foremen la $8,800. CbaiUies Commissioner Beeve appeared before the Board iu reference to the item of $130,000 for county wards, of which $125,000 Is for board, tuition and clothing of children in orphan asylums and homos, and $5,000 for deficiency in appropriations tor current year.

Commissioner Beers said Mr. Chairman, if I understand it, I am called here before your body to give this Board information as to the amonnt required for the support of couuty wards. Ie that the question The Mayor That la what wo want information upon. Commissioner Reeve This question of county wards is a matter that tho Board of Commtstlonars ot Chari ties have nothing to do with as to estimating the amount that is required. That, by the law, is left in the hands of the Board of Supervisors.

When the bills are sent to us by these various institutions they are audited by our Board, and In case they contain tho names of any child that lias been committed by a magistrate, aud of which we have no record, we re fuse to audit those bills. We can only audit the bills of those ohildren that are committed by us and of those wo have a record of in our office. So that tho law stands at the present time aB a sort of divided responsibility. While the amendments to the Penal Code give the magistrates power to commit these children without asking the Charities Commissioners, the law does not compel them to send tbe history ot these cases to the Board of Charitioo or submit them to the care of the Board of Charities. So that we hold we havo got nothing to do with that olasB of county wards.

Do I make myself plain? The Mayor We understand you, yes, sir. Commissioner Reeve Now, how many of thoBo children hare been committed by the magistrates under the amendments to tho Penal Code wo do not know. Clerk Cadley They would not amount to COO year. Commissioner Reeve Now, if the Board will boar that point in mind, then I will give' them the estimate that wo have mado. I think I simply throw out the suggestion I think if the Board of Supervisors before making their estimate for county wards would consult with ub and tako our figures aud records, we would be inore likely to agree upon the amount without coming to thiB Board at all.

If you recollect, Mr, Mayor, last ear tha Board of Supervisors asked for $132,000. Well, I made an estimate of what we would require that is, for tho year and If you recollect I put it dowu to $115,000, aud that amount was granted. Now on my estimate based at that time, I find tha facts havo borne me out, that for the present year, for the first ten months of thopresout year, and estimating this month and next, up to tho first of August, the cost will be $115,076.25. That Is a pretty close estimate. For the noxt year I estimate that exolnsivo of thoso chil dren that are committed by the justices for uxt year, 18S5 I ostimate $109,5110.

Aud I think I can Hardy say that the county wards can bo aupported for that amount tlvxa that come through the Charities Board. Now, I notice an item in the Supervisors atatemeut of $5,000 for deficiency for tho current year By this statement I have shown that there Is no such deficiency for tho onrrent year but there has bsen a back deficiency running along for several years, and I nresuuift that is the deficiency that tho Board of Su pervisors spiak about in their estimate. The Mayor We raised last year against such de ficiency a good many thousand dollars. Commissioner Reeve We got $18,000 last year. The Mayor You did not roquire it all CommiBsioner Reeve It appears not.

The Mayor (to Supervisor Barnes) How Is that, Mr. Barnes? You aro chairman of that oummittco. Are you postod on that point Supervisor Barnes No, sir. Tbo Mayor Tho question I ask Is whether there is any euch deficiency as $5,000 to be made up. Supervisor Barnes We got the figures from tho County Treasuror.

Commissioner Reeve Thoy ought to have worded it, it seems tome, a littlo dlfferontly. They ought to have made it for deficiency lor past years. Well, you see tho statement I have mado shows there was scarcely any deficiency only $076 during the past year. If they would just come to tho ofllco aud confer with me be fore making that estimate, It would save trouble. The Mayor Do you agree with the clerk of the Beard (Mr.

Cadley) that tho amount needed for the county wards committed by magistrates will bo iuside of $500 a year. Commissioner Roeve I think the clerk Is a littlo low on that. Then there aro other cases. I think that probably $1,000 or $1,100 would do. $500 would only provide for about five children $91.25 each.

But the amount required would bo very small. So that I will state to the Board that the estimate for next year cov eiiug children that come through our department I think If the Board appropriated $110,000, it would be enough so far as wo aro concerned. The Mayor $111,000 would probably cover all Commlsslouer lteevo I think so, beside what they are In arrears now. Mr. Alfred T.

White, ropreaenting the Citizen's League What has called tbo attention of the league aud of the committee to thia subject at all la the fact that for ten years preceding 1875, when the children were housed atFlatbush, the averago number of pauper children for which the oounty was required lo pay was between three and four hundred. When the law next went into effect, in August, 1875, directing the transfer of pauper children between 2 aud 16 years of ago from the Fiatbush Nursery to private institutions, 300 were transferred. Tho very next year there wero 070 pn vided for by tho budgot, the next year 874, tho uext yeai the next year 1,404. In five years the num ber ran up from 300 lo nearly fiye times that. Tho in.

tent of the law transferring those children was perfectly manifest. It was prepared by the State Chaiities Aid Association aud was simply intended to remove young children from tho companionship of professional pau pera atFlatbush. It is equally manifest fiorn the figures that in the five years when tho normal increase would have been perhaps 50 children, that something liko 1,200 children or 1,100 children were thrown by their par. euts as a burden upon tbe county in private Institu tions, by parents who bad beon unwilling to have those children supported at the county expense at Fiatbush. There is no other way to account for it.

Tho prede cessors of tho present Charities Commissioners sue ceeded in making a roductiou of ono or two hundred children, but the growth of the city aud the bard times carried it a little tho other way. Under tha proseut Board we aro glad to recognize a reduction in two years of something like 300 chllJron so from inaxt mum of 1,492 on tbe first of August, 1883, on the first of May this year there wero only 1,201 children. Per. haps the Commissioners can report eomo further re daction since that time. Commissioner Reeve Thero is a slight Increase.

Mr. White Thero is a roductiou of nearly 300 chil drcn. Tbe whole community, I tblnk, appreciate the difficult position In which the Commissioners are placed. It seems almost inhumanity to turn out children who aro not strictly a burden upon the county, for their parents are pour aud struggling on the other hand, it seems as if it was a very doubtful construction of the law by which they aro retained there. The judg.

mcnt of the League is that the couuty is under no ob ligation to support children whose parents are not pan peri uuless committed by magistrates as vagrants, We have brought this matter up here in the bopo that Borne reduction would be mado this year, and alo to call the attention of the city aud county officers to the necessity of securing from tho noxt Legislature suoh amendments to tho law that this perplexing question shall not couie up in the doubtful manner In which It does now. Mr. F. W. Hinrlchs said the trouble was thore was no concentrated responsibility.

Counsel for the Board of Charities, Mr. Simls, differed from General Tracy as to the power and duty of tbe Commissioners, and the only way out of tbe d.fiiculty, perhaps, would be to ask tbo Legislature to place tha whole control of tho couuty wards in the hands of the Charities Commissioners. He thought it desirable to ascertain on what ba.is this estimate for county wards was made up. It looked In the main like mere guess work, and tbe whole matter was in great confusion. He thought the number of conuty wards now ought not to be more than 400 or 600.

There should also be a full explanation in rtgard to tbe deficiency of $5,000, and detailed lnformatiou aa to tbe number of vagrants committed by tbe magistrates and the Commissioners. The Board subsequently in Committee of tbe Whole agreed to reduce the county wards item (board, tuition, etc.) from $115,000 to $111,000. Mr. Joseph H. Hart asked the Board to make an appropriation for the repaying of Broadway from Eleventh street to East New York, and said that It was in a dangerous oondltion.

Tbe owners of property thero paid large sums lu taxes and thought they should havo some of tbe money raised for granite paring expended on Broadway. The Mayor reminded him that the Board of Estimate could only invest a certain sum for work of this kind and leave it to the City Works Department to say where the monoy should be spent. Applying tho argu ments used in regard to Broadway to other streets, aud they might bo so applied, the Board would bo called upon to invest a million or a million and a half for tbe purpose. The question of relieving tho flooded districts was more pressing than tbe street repair question, and this year the Board had to provide for the relief of those districts or expose the city possibly to large payments for damages. He was disposed to do as much as possible for tha streets and leave the rest for the future to take care of.

The Board received tbe request of tbe City Clerk for provision for au additional clerk, increasing the esti. mate $1,000 over the current year; the Increased estimate of the Pollco Commissioner in connection with the proposed sub station in the Fifteenth Ward, and also tbe Aldermanio resolutions requesting the appropriation of $100,000 for local improvements. David Barnett asked to have substituted tho item of $0,072.71 for the Law Library as prepared by tha trustees under tho act of 1863, for tha item of $4, How it Led Him into Trouble in Mobile, Ala. Assanlted ea the Street by a Conductor witli Whom He had Ansrrj Words on a Train A Colored Clergyman and His Wife Ordered from the White Ladies' Car Tho Brooklynite Interferes to Protect Thein and Suffers Violence Differ eat Accounts of tho Affair. Special to the Eagle, Mobile, June 17.

On May 23, Thomas J. Morrow, of 345 State street, Brooklyn, a member of the Morrow Shoe Manufacturing Company, whose factory is at Nyack, N. aud whoso salesrooms are at 41 and 43 Warren street, New York, was met on the Blrcot iu front ot the Battle Houae iu tlile placo and knooked down by W. J. Sullivan, pasBengor conductor on tho Louleville and Nashvillo Railroad.

Morrow bad Sullivan arrested. Both men made statements before the Recorder next morning, Sullivan admitting ho had violated the publio peace. He was fined $25 and took an appeal. Sullivan stated that he had on the previous trip down found Borne colored people in the white ladies' car and told them to go into the oolored people's compartment of tho forward car. Morrow, who was a passenger, advised tho colored people not to move, as they had a first class ticket.

Sullivan said Morrow used insulting language to him which he could not resent while on duty, but did resent as soon as ho met Morrow on the street. W. A. Alexander, a well known citizon of Mobile, stated later In writing that the oolored people, Rev. Mr.

Lludsey and wife, of Illinois, occupied seats iu the ladies' car. The conduotor politely informed them they could not ride in that car. The conductor did not wait but continued collecting tickets. Morrow then told Lind eey he had a perfect right to ride in that car and urged him to keep his seat. The conductor returned and again asked Mr.

Lindsoy to go in tho forward car. Lindcey was excited and refused to move. The conductor called the train hauda and thoy led Llndsey into tho for. ward car Sullivan laying his hand on Lindaey to show hiB authority. Morrow seized tho conductor's arm and Baid be was exceodlag ills authority.

The conductor told Morrow to take his Beat aud not iutorfcre with him in the performance of Ilia duty. Alexander adds I satisfied myflolf that the car iuto which Liudsey was put was a first class car, and not the smoking compartment, and waa occupiod by colored persons of quite as respectable appearance ae Mr. aud Mrs. Liudsey. The conductor throughout the whole affair acted with courtesy toward Mr.

Llndsey aud with very groat forbearance toward Mr. Morrow." Another passenger on the irain corroborates the above also in writing aud adds that Morrow was very insulting. Ha says he saw no knife and does not believe the colored man was stabbed nor that Morrow was threatened by any one. The pasajuger describes the scene as follows Some white passengers were in search of seats and tho conductor politely asked the colored mau and his wife to go iuto their own ooacb, where there was plenty of room. The negro answered that he usd a first class ticket aud would ride ho pleased.

Morrow then arose and told the conductor the Baine thiug. Sulllvau asked Morrow to take hia seat aud Morrow refused. Sullivan askod if he (Morrow) had anything io do with running that train. Morrow replied that ho had a right to express his opinion aud that he would sea that the man and wile rode whero they pleased and he "did not want any of the conductor's slack about it." Sullivan again told him to take his seat, whon Morrow caught Sullivan by tha shoulder. Just then a passonger told Morro very firmly that he was about to get himself iuto seriouB trouble, whereon Morrow quieted down and loft tho coach in great hasto.

Allow trie to say further that my homo 1b in Georgia and that I only know Mr. Sullivan by sight, and only write this in the interest of justice aud fair play." Mr. Morrow's statement is that ho interfered to protect tho negro clergyman and hiB wife when Sullivan rudoly ordered them to go into the smoker. When questioned by your correspondent as to this, he said he did not know for certain that it was a smoker, but It was socond olass. He Bays ho mnde no impudent remarks, but tho conductor brought a party of disorderly meu iuto tho car, one of whom stab bad the negro in tho head and tried to tab him (Morrow) also.

Yunr correspondent finds that the railroad on this occasion provided separato but not iu every way equal accommodations for white and colored travelors, thoso for colored people being the forward compartments of a car the rear of which was for sniokers. Iu other respecta the accommodations wero aimilar. Morrow had not informed himself of thie fact. He presumed the front car was second class and devoted to Brooking. His action 1b regarded hero as uncalled for, although Sullivan had not on that account any Justification for striking him.

The mos! of the voyage was made under aail, her average speed not exceeding OTor six knots p.r hour. Tho United States steamer Omaha received the visitor with full honors. When tho Isero camo to anchor Captain DeSauue sent a telegram to Oenora!

At Soon to riay M. Straiahan, who is chairman of the Chamber's committee, had not beard of tho ship's arrival and would therefore tell nothing as to when tho reception wouli take place. Ho was inclined to think, however, that for various reasons it would not come off until Monday. Tho commander of the Isore is under the orders of Admiral Lacoinbie, of tho French frigate Flore, now on her way iiere from Newport. Tho United Statos Steamship Alliance, which is to take part in the nautical procession, Is also duo tp day from Key West.

LStieeial to the Eaijlo.l Loctht Vai.li June 17. The Impression that John Lewis, of this pla. committed suicide by throwing himself on the Long Island Railroad track in front of au approaching locomotive a few evenings ago has boeu succeeded by tho belief that he was beaten and thrown upon the track. The men who put forward this theory are intelligent, aud havo given some thought to the matter. Coroner Baylis baa adjourned the inquest without date, to afford time for a thorough investigation of tho suspicions circumstances which make it seem unreasonablo to behove that LowiB rosortod to such a dreadful method of putting an end to his life.

It is said that thore is a woman in the case nnd that her husbaud had threatened to put him out of the way. Tho engineer of tho train which decapitated him states that when he saw tho Body on the track it was motionless and tho man gave no heed to the whistlo or bell. Tho hold wan laid across the rail, the ueck resting ou the rail aud the face turned in the direction of the locomotive. It is suggealed that if Lewis put him telf in this position he probably would have turned his face tho other way. His head was cnt off and rollod along under the cars for a considerable distance.

Justice Pratt, in Special Term of the Supreme Court, gave a hearing this morning on tho motion to vacate tho injunction in tho case of Courad Baker of New York, aud William Lockwood, paper manufactories, against the Niw York Papor Stock Steam Disinfecting Company al'O, In the caie of Collector Robertson, for Injunction restraining tho defendants from disinfecting a cargo of rags ehippid ou board the vessel Yigdant, from Japan, In last January, and consigned to tho plaintiffs, The Disinfecting Company was represented by General Catlin, who opened the argument. Ho said the headquarters of the company were at the Baltic stores, Brooklyn, aud that they were in possession of tha rags in question under direction of the Treasury Department and the Collector of the port of New York. Dr. Smith, tbe Health Officer of the port of New York, ho said, bad recommended dislufectiug the rags before thoy were landed. He claimed that by direction of the Uulted States Government the Collector of tbo port had authority to take tho rags in custody and havo them dlslnfeoted.

The process was to placo a bale of rags on a icrow and subject it to a prassure of steam, which entirely destroyed every germ of disease. It war, ho Bald, within the discretion of the quarantine officer and tha Custom Houio officers whether rags should be laude'L The pUinti.fs, he added, wore ready to take the rags whether infocted or not and regardless uf the danger of bringing disease into this country. Sidney Y. Lowell, lor the plaintiffs, said, Yea, we waut the rags and will take them. We don't want them, however, disinfected this company." Justice Pratt The question is whether the company haa tho riht to disinfect these rage aud charge the expense to the consignees.

General Catltu They must have a permit from tho propor authorities. Jusllc; Pratt Who do you appear for? General Catlin For the Disinfecting Company. Justice Pratt Does any ouo appear for the Collector Mr. Lowell He haa been served, but does not appear in this proceeding. Justlco Pratt Is the company responsible? General Catlin They have got money euought lo buy up the rags and th9 plaintiffs, too.

Tho company ia incorporated under tbo laws of thia State. Mr. Lowoil contended that as the Health Officer bad passed tha ship beyond quarantine, it was a matter for the local authorities of New York aud ttrooklyn to decide. The circular Idiuo 1 tin Jer tho last Administration in regard to the dielufcctlng of rags which had caused tho furmatiou of tha company had, he said, been very properly rescinded by the present Government authorities. The proceedings throughout had beon high handed in the extromo.

Tho plaintiffs would disinfect their rags if necessary, but did not wish to have the Now York company do it. Their process was llablo to bring about spontaneous combustion which would destroy the rags and cause loss to property and life. General Catlin said the rags had oomo from every village aud city of Japan, picked up from the streets and sewers aud it was more than likely that they were Infested with tho expected approaoh of the cholera He said that Dr. Smith and other eminent physicians were justified in ordering the disinfection of tho cargo of rags on the Vigilant.
