Kozlay. General E. A. Kozlay, for many years a well known resident of this city, died yesterday at his home, No. its Kent avenue, of Bright's disease.

He was captain In the Hungarian army at one time, but was compelled, in consequence of revolution, to eoek an asylum In this country about thirty years ago. He studied law under General Sanf ord and although a member of tho bar, nover practiced bis profession. He was appointed to a position in tho Custom House and remained there until the war broke out, when he organized a regiment, which was placed under his command and assigned to duty in General Blenker's brigade. Subsequently he received an appointment in another division, aud was one of tho last officers mustered out ot the servica On returning he filled an important office in the Custom House, but owing to political differences he resigned. Ho acted as surveyor and draughtsman of the Water Board of this city under Colonel Fowler, and of late had been identified with the Bnvff Elevated Railroad.

An ambulance was sent for and he was removed to the Homeopathic Hospital, where ho soon after died. Paralysis was the cause assigned. Tho deceased was born in the old Tenth Ward of the town of Brooklyn, in March of tha year 1812. When a young man ho entered into the lumber business, and became quite prosperous. In 1862 ho was elected as tho first Whig Supervisor from the Fifth Ward.

In 1857 he served as a deputy Bheriff under Burdotto Stryker. Afterward ho was employed as an inspector of sewer connections in the Board of City Works, and was at one time boss laborer in tho Navy Yard. Ho was foreman of Engine Company No. 9, of the old volunteer force. At the time of his death he was a member of the Society of Old Brooklynites, and a member of tho Odd Fellows.

Up to two and a half years ago ho was engaged in tho tobacco business on Fulton street. He was then stricken with paralysis and compelled to retire. A year later ho received a second Bhock. He has been married three times. His third wife, who is a young woman, was marrsed to him three years ago.

April 2, 1883. ITon. Ccorfft H. Andrews, Chairman, and Messrs. Jack, son H.

Keliultz and H't'ffani Laimbeer, Commlsttontra of the United Stutea for Locating a Public Building in Brooklyn; Gentlkmen In handing you tho accompanying documents addressed to your honorable Commission, I havo the honor to ask your attention to such suggestions touching tho site for the proposed Federal building of Brooklyn as it seems to mo fitting to make. If you feel yourselves limited to a certain sum of money for tho ground, and that a small sum, it may bo that vour task is a difficult one to tell in what locality tho building ought to be: but if public convenience and advantage are to decide irrespective of coat, tho problem before you iB easy of solution. Tho City Hall Souare is the focus of tho life and movement of Brooklyn. Hero almost all tho horso railroads of tho place converge. Hero are the City and County Buildings.

The county has too much invested here to move its courts to another quarter. Tho City Hall will remain where it was founded. Travel must and will seek this center. Tho center will not chango to accommodate travel. Trade centers frequently do follow the people, not so, according to my obvservation, governmuntal centers.

Therefore, in my opinion, the federal building ought to bo in close proximity to the City Hall and County Court House, Branch post offices can be established throughout tho city where convenience demands, but the United States Court ought to bo near the County Courts and the Law Library of the city. As between different sites in this locality, you arc as competent to decide as though residents of Brooklyn. Upon that point, therefore, I havo no word to say. I only ask that of all these sites you will select tho best, and pay what may be necessary to securo that ono. In order to ahow you that any decision other than tills will be unjust to Brooklyn, I ask your attention to the accompanying table of statistics concerning our Post Office kindly furnished at my request by Postmaster McLcer.

The figures show a remarkable increase in tho number of pieces handled. in 1877 havo grown to 69,000,000 in 1882, SO in tho rcgiBtercd letter department 21.000 in 1877 havo grown to 50,000 in 1882, and this growth to the Government has been largely profit. Tho Post Offlco showed a surplus in 1880 of $74,000, in 1881 of $106,000, in 1882 of $141,000 This, it appears to me, is but the prophecy of what will be. As it stands, the last year's Bur plus is equal to ten (10) per cent, on $1,400, 000. It makes no great demand on faith to anticipate a continual increase of the earnings.

In view of these figures Brooklyn is entitled, I think, to ask of the general government that in locating a federal building in our midst, the building shall be placed in the best and most convenient situation which the city affords. I have the honor to be, gentlemen, Very respectfully, Beth Low, Mayor. significant statistics.

Ample attention was given tho mtnu, and then President Silliman, in well chosen language, proposed the health of General Grant. The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm. General Grant replied in feiioitons tj terms and made sovoral pnngent points of a humorous character. His remarks wore received with alternating laughter and applause. Goncral Slocum followed Gen jf eral Grant in a happy address, in tho course of which he paid a high compliment to tho distinguished soldier i who had preceded him.

Subsequently tho health of I Professor Dwight was proposed and ho thanked the fi compony in a neat speech. Then the company mingled in social conversation and the time up to midnight WM ii pleasantly passed. THE POLICE FORCE.

M. Norman, contralto George Werrenrath, tenor E. C. Chapin, basso, and Henry Camp, tho leador, will be pyid oil on tho first of May, and wUl leave the church. This is a step that is absolutely necessary for tho welfare of the church.

The trustees aro all bneinecB men, and they have made up their minds that the church shall not go into debt. Thoy therefore considered it wise to reduce tho expenses of the music from $6,000 to $8,000 per year, Instead of reducing tho appropriations of tho Bethel and the Mission. Tho singiug in Plymouth Church is nearly all congregational, so that the paid choir can easily bo dispensed with. Music will be hereafter furnished by a volunteer choir of seventy voices. Mr.

Henry Carter, organist, will bo retained and will have full charge of the music. Before Mr. Camp leaves he wiU be presented with a testimonial in recognition of his long and faithful musical services to Plymouth Church, In all probability there will bo no reduction of the pew rents. As the church is out of debt at present it was thought best to keep it so. Mr.

George Werrenrath, tho tenor, will become director of tho music in the Classon avenuo Presbyterian Church. THE BEST HAND Ilcld by Justice Mnssey at the Close of the CJauie. A Professional Cook and his Friends Arraigned for Playintr Pinocle Experts Whose Knowledge was Equaled by that of the Court. The beautiful flowers in the Louis XIV. vase in Justico Massey's Court, this morning, were aB bright and cheerful as a rosebush would have been in tho midst of the Sahara Desert.

Even the vaso Bcemed brighter for having been refilled, for during tho past fow days only the withered remnants of a onco hand some bouquet, placed there beforo the magistrate went to Albany to secure the passage of a bill giving police justices jurisdiction overall cases of misdotneauor, Hiub relieving the County Court of much unnecessary work, remained to tell of what.had once been a picture of beauty. Tho magistrate ascended the bench, aud after enjoy ng tho beauty of a kindly nature's gift began tho morn ing's work. Tho first caso called was that of Frederick Gardiner, a negro, charged with having kept a gambling house at No. 20 Lorimer street. Ho was a gay darky, attired in a flashy suit of clothes, and about bis high, glossy collar was a necktie that would have dimmed the brightest rainbow that ever spanned the sky.

Ho immediately pleaded not guilty, claiming that ho was a professional cook. There had been aome young men playing cards in his place, but thoy wero not gamblers. He had invited them there and they wero in a room in the back of his house. "What sort of game wero they playing 3" queried the magistrate, picking up a largo yellow roso and twirling it a la Oscar Wilde. "They were playing responded tho professional cook, who certainly in stylo would have eclipsed Vandorbilt's $15,000 chef.

Tho Magistrate was rather incredulous. Ho did not bellevo that Ethiopians had any leaning toward tho German national game. So ho said "Will you describe it to me I know what the game is, but I would like to see if you do," and then he Bcttlcd back in his chair with the satisfied expression of a man who holds two jacks of diamonds aud two queens of spades. The negro was rathot nonplussed. He said iu a stam mering sort of way, "Why, you havo two packs of cards, and then ho hesitated as though in deep meditation, and finally said "Well, I don't know." 'Wore thoy playing for money 7" asked the Magistrate, aB ho put back tho yellow rose iu the vase, and looked squarely in tho face of tho witness.

"Oh no," promptly responded Gardiner. "It was only a sociable game. I invited them there, and ono of them suggested a game of cards, just as I might to you "Never mind that," interrupted the magistrate. "You won't have a chance to say anything of the sort to me." Tho professional hashchopper insisted that it was only a sociable game, anil that all the men imbibed consisted of tonics and soda water, ho not having a licome to sell liquor. JamcB Hunter, his witness, said thoy wero Gardiner's guests, and wero playing different games of cards.

Thcro was money on tho table, but that represented dues paid by the members of a society to which they belonged. "Well." said his Honor, as ho sharpened tho end of his poncil with an elegant pearl handled knife, "I think it is due to BOciety at largo that Mr. Gardlnor should spend ten days in jail, and perhaps while he is there ho may givo the cook some excellent ideas in tho preparation of the food." And then he handed Gardiner over to the tender mercies of Uncle William Applegate, who has such a lovo for tho nicely prepared dainties of life that he gavo Gardiner the best Beat in tho pen, to await tho coining of tho van.

Among those from California was one Bent by the California Fish Commission, weighing sixteen pounds, and several weighing ten pounds each. There was ono beautiful California trout exhibited, known as the Dolly Varden, tho only species of California trout possessing the red spots.

The trout aro from the streams of Long Island, and, with the German carp, are furnished by Mr. Hugh McGovcrn, a gentleman as compactly loaded with fish lore as his ponds are with live fish.

RATHER ROSY. A Politician's View of the Political Situation. The President of the Republican General Committee Thinks he Sees a Light Ahead and Gires his Reasons The Prospeot of Harmony and What it May Lead to The Local Outlook. The city Republicans, in common with members of the party elsewhere, finding nothing particular to fight about just now, aro amusing themselves by discussing the possibility and advisability of restoring harmony to the ranks and looking toward tho fu. tore prospects of tho organization.

Ono of the most sanguine advocates of peace is Corporal James Tanne the Tax Collector and president of the Kings County Republican General Committeo. In conversation with an Eaole reporter to day Corporal Tanner spoke hopefully of tho future and took a rosy view of tho existing political situation. HE HAS A CANDIDATE. "Notwithstanding recent defeats," ho said, "I believe the Republicans will nominate a candidate for President next year, and that ho will prove acceptable to the peo. pie.

I havo a pretty weU defined idea whom I think they ought to nominaic, and whom I believe to day stands the best chance of getting the nomination. My man is Bon. Harrison, of Indiana. Ho is a man of fine character and attainments, a man of poise, who in a remarkable degree combines tho requisites of a good candidate. His location iu the State of Indiana certainly favors him.

The first tiino I met Genoral Harrison was 1876, when I was Btuuping tho Stato for the icket on which he ran for Governor against "Bluo Jeans' Williams. He made a splendid fight, although he was hondic6pped from tho start by the fact that he was not tho first nominee and was put on to fill out the ticket in place of the late Godlove S. Orth, whose nomination was unsatisfactory and who was induced to withdraw. Binco then, as we know, ho has beooma United States Senator and has made a good record. He is well known both in and out of his own Stato and is very popular.

I look upon it as essential to success that tho Republicans carry Indiana, and I beliove Harrison can do it. Ho would pell as many votes in Ohio as any Ohio man who could bo nominated." THE OLD FIGHT. "Do you think tho stalwart and halfbreed elements can bo united 1 "Yes, I think thoy will unite in view of tho fact that if they do not defeat for the party is inevitable. It makes no difference who is to blame for tho split. Tho fact that it exists is plain enough.

I don't believe wo will help ourselves by discussing how it occurred or giving our individual opinions as to whero the blamo shall rest. The difference can be healed by respectful and considerate action on both sides and by bearing in wind tho fact that, while our individual opinions aro dear to us, that the welfare of tho country is of tho greater importance, and that we believe it can be best conserved by the success of tho Republican party." "Will the old leaders retire 7" "They are willing to retire only in a measure. I never saw a man who played a prominent part in politics who was ever willing to forego his supposed influence until tho timo had come for his family to consider what undertaker they would employ." "But are Smyth, O'Brien, Dutcher, French and Company to remain at tho front COMINO CHANGES. 'I can only Bpeak positively of Mr. Dutcher.

He is out of politics, dovoting himself to tho organization of a business enterprise in Jefferson County. He win probably go there to live," "Have not the bosses learned something from the lesson of last Fall 'For a long time to come, In view of tho results of last Fall's election, a good deal moro attention wiU bo given to tho character of the candidates nominated and tho platforms constructed and less to individual triumphs of tho hour in the conventions." "Do yon think there is any chance of Republican Buccess in tho Stato this year 7" "Decidedly. The largo capacity and inherent tonden cy of tho Democratic pasty to perpetrate blunder after blunder must inure to the benefit of tho Republican party. Tako, for instance, the veto of the Five Cent Faro bill. Tho people look upon it as an act in tho interest of monopolists.

Then, too, thcro ia tho evident disposition to pass tho bill for tho abolition of the Excise Board. If the Democratic majority in the Legislature passes such a measure, what becomes of tho Democratic professions in favor of home rule THE PROSPECT LOCALLY. What do you think of tho local political outlook In Brooklyn, next Fall, I tldnk two things inevitable. Seth Low will bo renominated by tho Republican Party and will receive suoh a support from independent voters as will make his re election a certainty. There is no opposition to him in the party that amounts to anything, and when tho City Convention meets he is pretty sure to got the unanimous vote of the delegates.

Tho record proves that ho has been ono of the ablosti most just and most zealous mayors Brooklyn has ever had, and the people recognize this fact." What is tho condition of tho local Republican or ganizatiod "It Bcems to mo the party here was never moro thoroughly united. The General Committee this year has so far progressed without a breach. There ecoms to bo a general desire to havo things moro slowly and har oinniously. "What of tho Young Republicans 1" "I think that organization has been of groat benefit to tho party and to tho city in relation to municipal affairs. Anything that benefits the city is sure to benefit the Republican party." "Do you expect any conflict between the two Republican organizations 1" "No.

Under the amended bylaws of the Republican General Committee, which provides for throwing wide opon tho gates of tho association, there will be no trouble. The thing for evory Republican to do is to devote his efforts to getting Republicans into tho associations in order that all may participate on the ground floor in the action of primaries and conventions. This does not involve tho disbandment of tho Young Republican organization. That shonld bo held together so that if any wrong is attempted they can stand in the interest of the peoplo and correct it. With this understanding, I think we need anticipate no friction." BOGUS CHECKS.

A Real Estate Man in Trouble. John A. HusBon, a real estate dealer of No. 94 High Btreet, is involved in serioug trouble. He was arrested on Saturday night for swindling a liquor dealer in Third avenue out of $10 by means of a bogus check on tho Trust Company of Now York.

To day a more serious charge has been made against him. It is alleged that he forged tho name of Otto Losche to a check for $35 and passed it on Mr. Schenck, of No. 192 Fifth avenue, and the police expect to prove that he has been engaged in several other bogus check transactions. Justice Walsh has held him for examination.

THE KXIFE'S CRUEL WORK. Why Bernard Gill Stabbed liis Son.

A careful and thorough investigation is iu progress, and it is hoped that a clue will soon be discovered to what at present is a mystery. An Unprovoked and Brutal Murder at Hampton, Nr. Fortress Monroe, April 2. A brutal murder occurred about 11 o'clock on Saturday night, in tho barroom of Barnes' Hotel, at Hampton, Va. It appears that Thomas Phillips, a quiet, inoffenslvo citizen, was passing the hotel on his way homo, when ho was met by au old acquaintance, named P.

Joyce, who invited him in to tako a drink. Phillips refused to drink but accepted a cigar, and while standing at tho counter of tho bar Joyce, without any provocation whatever, deliberately shot him through tho heart. After shooing him, Joyce placed tho pistol In Phillips' pocket and fled. He was arrested later and lodged in jail. Joyco is employed as a clerk at the National Soldiers' Homo.

Phillips leaves a wife and four children. Some fears worn entertained yestcrdax morning that Joyco would bo taken from jail and lynched. An extra guard was placed on duty at lho jail last night. A SHOT IN HIS BRAIN. Tho Fatal Effect of a Bosc taken to Curo Boils.

In swallowing the shots ono of them took the wrong pas3aga and worked into his brain, causing death. A TRAGIC DEATH Which Resulted in General Catlin's Journey to the West. His Return to the City Called to Iowa to Protect the Estate of a Lady, Once a Resident of Brooklyn, Whoso Husband Committed Suicide The End of a Wealthy Lnmber Dealer and Owner of Fino Horses who Became Embarrassed.

General Isaac S. Catlin, District Attorney of the county, arrived home this morning after a rapid and fatiguing trip to Iowa. He left here in great hasto a week ago Wednesday in answer to a telegram from Mrs. 8. B.

Paige, of Davenport, Iowa, asking him to como there at onco to protect her interests. It will bo remembered that tho husband of this lady, on the 11th of March, at the Kimball House, Davenport, committed was thougfit at the The case possessed more than usual interest to Brooklyn from tho fact that Mrs. Paige was, before her inarriago soma three mouths since, a Brooklyn lady. Sua was a widow then with two interesting children, one aged 9 and tho other 11. Mrs.

Fagan, as she then was, was a woman of an unusually bright intellect, and was quite well known as a contributor to periodical literature. She had met Mr. Paige some two years before in the West, and thdr acquaintance resulted In a marriage engagement. Mr. Paige was supposed to be immensely wealthy.

He was a large lumber dealer, the principal member of tho firm of E. B. Paige of Oskosh and Davenport. At Oekosh the firm possessed an immense mill property, a large amount of lnmber, logB and real estate, valued at about $200,000. There was on the real estate of the firm a mortgage of $80,000.

Everybody, up to tho. catastrophe, or a short time before it, regarded the firm as gilt edged. It appears, on investigation, however, that they have a good deal of paper afloat. They wanted $20,000 to pay their workmen at Duluth and applied to the banks for further accommodation and this was denied. This seems to have thrown Mr.

Paigo OFF HIS MENTAL BALANCE. On the morning of Sunday, March 11, ho and Mrs. Paige, then living at tho Kimball House, Davenport, ho advised his wife to go to church and tako her children with her. They parted affectionately, he kissing her good by. Then, after some common placo chat with hiB acquaintances, he returned to his room and wrote Mrs.

Paige a loving opistlo. He recounted tho financial distress of tho ffrm, his unavailing effort to relieve it, and told her that ho could stand it no longer. Ho told her that ho Bhould kill himself and bade her an affectionate farewell forever. He then went to bed, arranged himself becomingly and shot himself dead through the head. Tho first to discover him was Mrs.

Paige herself on her return from church. Tho sceno of the discovery of her dead husband is described as excruciating. For several days Mrs. Paigo was nearly demented, but finally recovered her mental balance and to protect hor interests summoned Gen oral Catlin, whom Bho knew in Brooklyn. General Catlin found, on his arrival, and a thorough in vestigation that tho affairs of tho company were far from desperate, and that Mrs.

Paige, while she will not be tho wealthy woman she thought herself, will nevertheless be in comfortable circumstances. The creditors of the firm have met and an accommodation effected. Tho deepest and most widespread sympathy was expressed at Davenport and at Oskosh for Mrs. Paige. On her arrival at the latter place, after tho death of her husband, the Commandery of which he was a member met, and resolved that they would see that hor interests should that she should receive every dollar duo to her from the estate.

Mr. Paige was well known throughout the country as tho owner of very fine thoroughbred trotting horses. Among them were a donblo team, Akbar and Oobang, with a record of less than 2:35 trotting together j.Akbar alone having a record of 2:23 Prfyche, a fine mare, two flue stallions, Cluamoro, of the Black Diamond blood, and another, a Haniule tonian, and Sady Mac, claimed to bo the best five mile trotter in the world. Ho had also about $30,000 worth of fine pictures, purchased in Europe. Mr.

Taigo is expected to return to Brooklyn in a lew weeks. THE VACANT POSTMASTER GENERALSHIP. The President Postpones His Departure from Washington. Washington, April 2. President Arthur this morning said his plans for leaving Washington to morrow have been somewhat disarranged and that he will probably not start to Florida for several days.

It is surmised from this remark that tho President has been advised by Attorney General Brewster that the ap poiutmunt of a successsor for Postmaster General Howe must bo made within ton days from tho latter's death, and that President Arthur delays his departure in order to determine who Bhall fill the vacancy. THE EIiEVATED RAILROAD MNflATlOX.

Knoll, an agent of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, applied to Justice Duffy in tho Jefferson Market Police Court, N. this morning for a warrant for the arrest ot Phincas T. Bamum, the showman, and his managers, James L. Hutchinson and J. A.

Judge Moore's Reference to the OraiMl Jury, Which was Impaneled this Morning in the Conrt of Sessions Tho Co operative Dress Association Damages Claimed for a Broken Finger Divorce Granted Other Cases. In the Court of Sessions this morning the Grand Jury for tho April term was impaneled. Tho foUowing are the gentlemen drawn and Bworn to serve Foreman, Jacobus Lake, farmer, Gravesend; William Nuttall, tinsmith, 118 Carlton avenuo Alfred C. Chamberlain, florist, 144 Myrtle avenuo; John H. Doherty, real estate, 6S3 Carlton avenuo; Thomas H.

On charging the Grand Jury Sudge Moore congratulated them that, as ho hadibeen apprised by the District Attorney, their duties would be light. He hoped they would bo convinced of what he had for years tried to convince the peoplo that Grand Jury duty was not something to run away from as a plague to bo avoided by all sorts of excuses and even Bubterfuges. Most of the men of tlds community liable to jury duty and who would make good Jurors aro just the men who do resort to aU sorts of excuses and even subterfuges to escape the duty which the law imposes upon them. This remark ho was happy to say, did not apply to them as they had not made such attempts to avoid the duty.

Yet few understood the difficulties which he, as judge, labored under every month of tho year.cxcopting tho month of August, to get Jurors enough to do the business of the court. Sometimes, no doubt, peoplo who did not understand tlds thought that he lost his temper and was peremptory aud arbitrary. It seemed to be a prevalent idea that all he had to do when a man's name is drawn out of the jury box is to teU him that he need not servo if he asked to bo excused. People have no idea that wo must jurors to do tho public business and Imagine that they can be excused through personal favor, not thinking that the Judge by so doing would violate his sworn duty. Judge Moore then proceeded with the ormal part of his charge.

He took occasion to say, while advising them as laymen to avail themselves of tho services of the District Attorney and his assistants, that teey were not supposed to know much about legal matters. It waB not a matter of disparagement to say of any man not a lawyer that he did not know much of legal matters. It might be a blessed thing that moro men did not know more of legal matters than at present, because there might then be more litigation than there was and a necessity for more courts than the people would be willing to pay for. The Grand Jury then retired and the civil jury was called and impaneled and civil tases Bot down for trial during the week. There were two arraignments Peter FarreU pleaded not guilty to burglary in the third degree and grand larceny in tho first degree Jacob Banbof plesded not gudty to assault in the first degree with fireaims.

Damages Claimed for a Broken Finger. Bernard McLoughlin sued Thomas Sidford for damages alleged to have been received in an assault, laying tho Bame at $2,600. Tho parties rcBide in tho Tenth Ward.

Plaintiff alleges that he was unable, through the injury received, to earn his Uving and support his family. The defendant, on the other hand, avers that tho plaintiff camo to the place drunk and that ho did not want to run the riBk of having him, while drunk, run over people, for which he would bo held responsible so he ordered him off the premises, and to induce him to go, led him by the collar some fifty or sixty feet, but committed no violence. The caso has been tried before and the jury disagreed. It was again up before Judge McCue and a jury of the City Court this morning.

Arrests by the Revenue Authorities. The United States Marshal Taking Lightermen into Custody and Seizin? Large Quantities ot Property One of the Results of the Inman Pier Fire The Revenue Authorities Beticent, United States Marshal Tate and his deputies have had a ease on hand for several weeks.

It culminated to dav, In the seizure ot property In different parts of the city and the arrest of about a dozen persons, mostly lightermen. Tho Marshal declined to give tho particulars or the names of the parties arrested. It is understood, however, to relate to the big fire at tho Inman Steamer dock, and involves theft and smuggling. Tho arrested parties were bailed by United States Commissioner Allen. WHY THE PACTS ABB NOT GIVEN.

Marshall Tate was asked to day why he conld not furnish the news of the seizure and arrests to the Brooklyn papers. He eaid he would gladly do so, but that the movement was at the instance of the Custom Houso officials, and that the orders were positive to give nothing to tho press untU the information was disclosed at tho Custom House, the reason being that there were several parties as yet not under arrest and the publication ol the facts at presont would lntorf ore with tho ends of justico. Two Treasury officers have been working up the case in Brooklyn for some time, and the Marshal and his deputies simply executed the orders of tho Custom Houso authorities. At the New York Custom House. An Eagle reporter called upon General Brackett at his office in the Custom House, and tho following interview took place "Is it true, as rumored in Brooklyn, that several large seizures have been made and a number of persons arrested!" "I prefer not to say anything on the subject.

It would only bo detrimental to our case should anything bo published at this stage of the investigation." "Are your deputies stiU at work on the matter 1" "Messrs. CaUter and Cummings havo been at work night and day for a week past, and when they complete their report we shall have some startling developments to make, but at present we can say nothing on the subject." "Would it not bo wise In view of the fact that parties have boon arrested in Brooklyn to give the Eagle a statement concerning their arrest? "I would be vory glad to give the EAOtE any legitimate news in my powor to dispose of, but this is a matter upon which I must keep silent for the present. The Investigation also Includes several New York par ties, does it not?" "Yes, before we get through with the matter we hope to have a large company from each city." TWO TO ONE. James and Thomas MclHahon Trying to Eject Their Brother John A Qucs tlon as to Who was the Owner of the Hotel at Sheensucad Bay, Bun by the Defendant. In the Circuit Court, this morning, before Mr, Justice Cullen and a jury, tho cause of James and Thomas McMahon against Thomas tried.

The plaintiffs keep a saloon on Pearl and Willoughby streets, and the defendant is landlord of a hotel at Bhcopshead Bay. Tho BUit is brought to recover possession of the hotel. Tho plaintiffs aUege that the heirs of Delano conveyed the property to Thomas McMahon, on May 31, 1881, and in Jnne, 1881, Thomas conveyed one half to James. They aUege that they have demanded possession and the defendant has refused to give tip the premises, but has withheld them to the plaintiffs' damage, $15,000. Formal proof was put in for the plaintiff, showing tho conveyances referred to in the complaint.

Mr. Gaynor proved that the defendant made a contract with the Delano heirs, and that it was in his possession until rccehtly. On getting a new safe, Mr. Gaynor cleared out the old one, and he believed he destroyed the contract. Mr.

John McMahon said that ho made a contract with the Delano heirs to buy the hotel, and was disappointed iu getting the money. He met tho men from whom he expected the money, at his brother's saloon, and when he left, James foUowed him and said he would lend him the money. James lent $4,000, and the title was given to Thomas, to hold tho proporty as security for the debt as between the other brothers. Henry Montanus, who supplied aU the parties with cigars, said that he asked James McMahon for money and ho said he was pretty well puBhcd, on account of advancing money to Ills brother John. Geprge H.

Delano, one of tho heirs who joined in the said John McMahon and himself negotiated the sale. The property was sold to John McMahon, and he remembered the written contract with John. Ho never had any negotiations with James or Thomas McMahon. James McMahon in rebuttal said that bis brother John told him the property would be sold for $9,000, and advised him to buy, saying It was a good investment. Ho went down and met John, and they looked at tho properts Then ho said ho would buy it.

This was more than four weeks before tho passing of tho deed. Ho never aaid ho would lend $3,000, or any other Bum of money to John. After the deeds were passed, they aU went down and gave him a hand. He told John that it ought to be $900 a year, but ho would give it to him, as he was his brother, for $600. He told him Be could take a leaso for as long as twenty years, if he chose.

When we went down to tho hotel the family was living there, and ho did not go over it, as there were ladies there. He nevor demanded tho money from his brother or wrote him a letter for part of it. (A letter was produced, asking for money.) Ho paid tho taxes and built a veranda. Thomas McMahon nevor understood that James' $4,000 was a loan. John simply said tho deed would be mado out in my name.

The $4,009 belonged to Jamea and Thomas and was earned in their buslnos. He nover assented to any loan to John. John Hanloy swore that ho never said that if James would lend money to John, ho would give his note for it. Then he said ho did not recollect it. Then ho said ho did not recollect being there when that conversation occurred.

Then ho said ho did not recollect ever being present when anything of the kind occurred. John Mulqueen heard a remark about borrowing money to buy the property, and James said ho wanted brick and mortar. Tha conversation was about buying tho property for John McMahon. Mr. Houley and Mulquceu wero to buy tho property from tho Dolano heirs.

When James was asked loan the money he Bald he wanted brick and mortar. ROUGHS ON THE ROADWAY. A Gang of New York Rowdies Force their Way upon tho Big Bridge They Assail Peaceable Brooklyn Italians With Stones Some Shots Fired The Folice Drive tho Throng Away. Four watchmen were employed upon the bridge yesterday. Two were on duty between the towers and one at each entrance that is, at New York and in this city.

It seems that quite a number of passes have been given out recently, and these passes were not dated. Consequently, on both sides of tho river many people saved their slips of paper until yesterday, and tho result was that the gate was besieged at either end. Tho solitary watchman mado a mistake in allowing some peoplo to cross and refusing others. Both tho men, as far as that was concerned, wore equally foolish, and responsible for lho disgraceful scene witnessed on the roadway last evening. At tho Sands street ontrance, for instance, several rough looking customers were allowed to go through the gates, while others wero told that their passes were no good, because it wasn't lnddo out forSundaj It was generally tho respectable' people that got this set back.

Justico Walsh and a friend wero refused admission, as was also Hugh McLaughlin, Judge Massey and ex Senator Pierce. The Bamo business was bemg transacted at tho other entrance in New York, but a gang from Peck slip, Coenties slip, Oak, Water and Cherry streets, Boon began to form a mob outside tho bridge gates. The very presenco of a crowd only served to increase it, until at last they would parley no longer. Thoso behind pressed those in front, and the gates were burst open, the crowd running in with a rush. They sped over the roadway SnOVTISa AND HOWMNO LIKE MADMEN and tho boys in tho throng wore particularly demonstrative and noisy.

They swarmed upon the big cables and sUd down the bridge supports like so many young monkeys and were up to all sorts of deviltry in general. A tliroiig had been gradually increasing at the Sands Btrcct and York street entrances on this side, but they were comparatively orderly to the mob that had assembled across tho river. Some of the moro venturesome rushed by the watchman while ho was clumsily examinbig a pass, and on one occasion, when two of them passed, ho threw his club at them with such vindictive force that it would have dono them serious Injury if his ami had "been good. When tho Brooklyn crowd saw tho roadway swarming with people from the New York side, it was to be restrained no longer, 'and with a yell in went the gates, and tho watchman was hustled about to his heart's content. Up to this time nothing more Borious had occurred than tho forcible entrance at each end of the bridge, but when the novelty of being on tho structure had worn off, some of the more mischievous commenced to throw granito chips, pieces of board, iron bolts, into the river, and it was rumored that ono of the missiles lauded on the deck of a Fulton ferryboat.

This however is not true, or a report would have been made of tho fact The most serious tiring that occurred was the Btouing of some Italians by a dozen roughs from New York. Tho Italians were quietly sunning themselves around the doorsteps of their houses in Mercein street at the time, and when the stones began to fall they became so enraged that they procured revolvers, and several shots were fired. Just about this time the New York police appeared and drovo the whole crowd off the bridge. Word was sent to the York street station house about tho troublo with the Italians in Mercein street, and Officers jloran and Farley wero sent by Sergeant Morrell to sec what was tho matter. When Horan got to the bridge he found tho crowd all driven off, and when Farley reached Mercein street all was quiet.

It is said that next Sunday the bridge wUl be strongly guarded. FUXEBAX OF THE LATE JEROME LELASD. The remains of tho late William Jerome Leland, who died at the Leland homestead, of pneumonia, on Thursday, March 29, were brought to New York to day and placed on a special train of four palace cars at he Grand Central Depot, from whence they wero conveyed to Woodlawn Cemetery.

At tho meeting of the New York Park Commissioners this morning a letter was received from "Gabo" Case, of Jerome avenue, in which he offers to present to the Board his tame bear, "Sam Barton." Mr. Ca3e, in recommending him, says "Sam Barton would like to spend tho Summer months iu Central Park, not as a politician, nor as a laborer. All he asks is his board and lodging.

He was at one time a prominent Wall street bear." Tho present was received by tho Board THE ASHUELOT. Details of Jier Loss China Seas. in the Strikes on a Bock and Sinks in Twelve Minutes Officers and Crew Lose All Their Personal Effects A Court of Inquiry in Session. WsnrHOTON, April 2. Rear Admiral Clitz, commanding tho Asiatic station, reports to the Navy Department under dato of Hong Kong, February 28, giving tho facts concerning the loss of tho U.

S. Btcamer Ashuelot, gathered from the report of Commander H. H. Mullan, who commanded the lost vessel. The Ashuelot left Ainoy at 2 P.

M. on February 17, with fine weather. At 6 P. M. left Chapel Island.

At 8 P. M. tho weather became foggy and the engines were slowed. It had been the intention to change lho courso at 4 A. and tho navigator, Lieutenant A.

B. Wyckoff, had come on deck for that purpose. He was in the chart room consulting with tho commanding officer when land was reported on tho starboard bow. The helm was put hard a starboard and tho engines stopped, but too lato to clear an outlying rock, and tho ship struck at a few minutes after four a breast of tho forcrigging as far as could bo judged under tho Soundings showed 17 1 2 fathoms. Tho ship struck off tho East LamockB.

Tho boats were cleared away, both anchors let go, and attempts made to save the ship, but it was found that she was filling rapidly and that the bilge pumps were of no use, so she was abandoned. She sank in twclvo minutes from the timo tho order to abandyn ship was given. It was impossible to beach her as tho nearest point available was live miles distant. With the exception of a few unimportant articles, both officers aud men lost all their personal effects. A court of inquiry to investigate the circumstances of the loss was ordered on board tho Richmond, and was in session at tho timo that Admiral Clitz's report was written.

The wreck now lies in an upright position iu about 17 fathoms of water with nothing showing but her topmasts. Work cannot well be commenced on her before April or May, after chango of monsoon. Lieutenant D. H. Mahan and Ave men from the Richmond were detailed to remain in the vicinity of the wreck and protect it from pillage.

Paymaster Wbitehouae, of the Ashuelot, was ordered to take special charge of the investigation connected with tho final disposition of tho wreck and upon his roport Admiral Clitz would be enabled to determine what course to pursue.
