Tho arrangements for tho inaugural ball of tho Brooklyn Liquor Dealers' Association, to bo held in tho Clermont Avenue Rink on Monday even ing, February 18, aro almost completed, and its success is assured. At the meeting of tho Ball Committee held on Monday William L. Eagncy was elected grand marshal for tho evening antl Fob's Twenty third Regiment Band was engaged for the occasion to furnish promenade and dance music. NAVAL OHDEP.S. Among tho orders issuod at Washington yes terday wero those of Civil Engineer Robert E.

Peary, now stationed at tho Brooklyn Navy Yard, ordered to tho League Island Yard, Philadelphia; Lieutenant Arthur P. Oaborn, detached from tho St. JIary's and ordered to tho Thetis, and Sur geon William S. Dixon, dotachod from special duty at Baltimore and ordorod to tho Boston now at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. in of There was recently published in tho Eagle a reference to a new elevated railroad guard, the invention of a Mr.

J. B. Carey, of this city. In the article referred to the statement was made that the device was "unanimously indorsed by prominent engineers and master mechanics' who had examined it," and further that the invention required no material change in existing arrangements, had no intricate machinery, no unsightly posts to obstruct travel and is as simple as it is effective." With a view of testing tho merits of these statements a reporter called on on the inventor, who describod the vanishing gate," as it is called, in substance as follows: "The invention consists of an arrangement of gates or panels of light (angle) iron filled in with wire mesh; the panels are 12 feet long by 3) feet deep; the upright posts in which the gates work extend 7 feet below the station platform, tho outer stanchions of the gates being the same length as the posts, so that when the platform is closed the entire panels and the upper half of the stanchions appear above the platform, the lower half being held the posts which rotaiu tho gates in a vertical position. The top of the gates when lowered is even with and becomes in reality part of the platform itself over which the passengers walk, which leave the station platform en tirely unobstructed.

Thin is claimed to bo an advantage, for tho reason that in this construction it is immaterial where, the train stops, all the cur openings arc then entirely free to ingress and egress. The serious objection to railroad guards has been that even when the cars are at the station some part of the construction must appeal' above tho platform, and it is difficult, if not impossible, to always bring the train to a stop at an exact given pointso that such obstructions should not discommode the passengers. On the 300 foot platform with guards otherwise constructed than as provided for by this scheme, there must be posts every twelve or fifteen feet apart, together with part of the gates, and adjust tho position of the train with such nicety to have none of the car openings opposite any of the obstructions would tax the ingenuity of the most expert engineer, because the. stopping of the train at a precise point depends on a greasy track, weight of the car, quantity of steam, distance from the platform at which the brake is applied, its effectiveness and other conditions. Of course it is out of the.

question to have the train backing or going forward in order to avoid the obstruc tions. Aside from the fact that they may no an inconvenience to travel and an injury to the company they are a constant menace. But a few days since a brakeman on one of the elevated roads lost his life by having his skull fractured by strking it ar'ainst one of the stanchions which supports the hood over the station while he was leaning out from the platform of the moving car. When tho train is stopped the entire platform must be open so that the hurrying passengers may not ho impeded at the entrance of the cars. The unobstructed platform stems to be the special point of this invention.

Mr. Carey's claim as granted and secured by dated States letters patent reads: In a railroad gate operated wholly below the platform, of a gate hold to slide vertically in the sai guides, having one end connected with a rod wheichv the gate is moved down, the top is flush with the platform, and the latter is left unobstructed, as set forth. By the operation of hand levers under the control of the person at the canceling box nil or one half of the gates (the.ro being at least sixteen gates or panels in all) can be lowered at will. Each gate is separately counterbalanced, so that they may be multiplied or extended any necessary distance and opened and closed without difficulty by one man with the use of operating lovers. When (ho panels or gates are set in the postH a pitman holding the gate stanchions is bolted to tho long arm of a bell crank lever centrally pivoted against the face of tho platform next the road bed; tho short arm of the bell crank lever is pivoted to a rod; the horizontal movement of the rod on the short arm six inches caused the long arm of the lever to swing downward three feet or more, which brings the top of the gates down flush with the platform.

Attached to the opposite side of the crank lover is a weight which more than counterbalances tho gates and causes them to remain in an erect position except when tho operator desires to lower them, the platform being always guarded except when the train is at a standstill. As soon as the passengers are all on tho cars and the train starts to move the gates are raised into position again, thus preventing all access to the opou and dangerous roadway. Tho gates are locked in either position by the ordinary ratchet attachment. It is when the trains an: Hearing or leaving the station that the gates are most needed, the extreme point of danger being just as the train, under full headway, approaches the platform; as they cannot open till the train is stopped, or tuitil the operator sees fit to open them, tho reckless crowding to the outer edge of the platform usually practiced by those anxious to bo first on the train will not be attended by such danger as it is at present. There is also provided a projecting arm operated by a trip which is thrown out as tho train approaches to warn those leaning against the gate to stand clear and thus prevent accident by its sudden and unheralded lowering.

The whole construction is so simple that, after looking at it, ouo is tempted to remark that it is singular it was not before thought of. The question may bo asked, If it is effective why is it not in use The answer is given by an official of one of the companies, who. after having examined the contrivance and having had the master mechanic go over all the details, said: If we are to have a gate, in probability this is the one; it is the only one worth considering. We are not at present disposed to allow the parties interested in the invention to put it on one of our platforms: if we had it on one there would be, in all probability, a cry for it, so that we would have to erect it on all. and that we do not want because it is expensive.

We concede that in front of every platform there is a dangerous opening; the public know it, and if a person becomes injured by falling in there or by being caiiL'bt between the train and the plall'urm. it is bis or her fault; there is no liability on our part; this is our opinion yet, although it would seem to have been considerably modified by th(! view that courts and juries have taken of this subject in recent case. It is the fact that the number of accidents are increasing. I ferhert Comstoek, years of age. of Jefferson street, bad a narrow escape from Oeatn recently.

lie got em a tram ot the Kings after the in eontsi be wa. jury he unity Elevated Jtailroad at avenue gates had been closed. His body came with the guard rail of the platform ami thrown to the street. The only in received was a fracture of tho leir. While waiting for a train on the Second avenno elevated road at Thirty fourth street, yesterday afternoon, Edward L.

Brandon, years old, of 1 I Fast Ninety seventh street, walked too near the edge of the platform and was struck by a pass'. ear. He was taken to Bellovuo Hospital suffering from a severe scalp wound. Doubtless the companies in each case will bo sued, but is there any liability? That we would stand in a better position to defend before a jury if we had some such tiling in use is true: but we do not admit liability under any circumstances. We think we will construct, no gate until wo are compelled to by public opinion or by Iho law, and, although this would prevent accident, yet looking at it from a pecuniary point of view (which is certainly the only way which we can look at it) it might be easier or cheaper for the company to pay damages for the few accidents wo have than to erect it, although we think the day of the gate is coming, and we believe ibat is to be the one.

Tho scheme was also submitted to another ofii cial of the King, County road who expressed his satisfaction with it and desired to know the cost of eonstrtiei ion This the inventor was not in a position to answer, but the matter is now in the hands of parties of more practical experience who can devote tho time to it timl perhaps the public may have the opportunity of thoroughly testing the merit of the invention. Of course whither it is to bo adopted or not depends somewhat on its co. and whether it is a matter of economy for the companies; al all events it looks practicable and is said to have sound financial backing. The New York Elevated Railroad stations at South Ferry and Forty second street have provided with iron guard rails next tho track. When asked if it was the intention of the company to place such rails at all the stations Colonel Ham said There is no intention on the part of the company to place such raili gs at all stations.

We are consid ing the feasibility of placing them at Hanover square, City Hall. One Hundred and Sixteenth street, and one or two other places, but nothing has been definitely determined. Guard railings would not be practicable at general stations, because, of the difficulty of always bringing a train to slop at exactly the same point. Trains are different lengths, to begin with, and of varying weight, according to the loads they carry. On damp or icy days it would be exceedingly troublesome to try to bring trains to stop at exact points, and if they happened to slide by tho guard railings would make it necessary to go back until the platforms fitted the openings.

Jn the crowded hours I am afraid such a scheme would delay travel and block trains intolerably. JIYJIEXKAh. Naimcrj Finn. Jr. Thomas A.

The Bocond game of the amateurs' tourney was played last night at Maurice Daly's with tho result of a close contest, marked by a very interest ing finish in which the victor barely managed to wiu by a couple of points. The contestants were Messrs. Monlton and "Fogarty," and the former was handicapped to give his opponent 75 points. he having to play 300 to Fogarty's 225, and tho result of the contest showed that the handicap ping had boon well judged in this case, though it did not appear so tho early part of the gamo Tho attendance at tho opening of the match was not as large as tho night before, and beforo tho game was half ovor the crowd thinned off consul orably, as it looked as if tho gentleman with tho Hibernian name would eventually win easily as the contest progressed and the PresH Club champion began to got the run of tho table things looked more favorable for him and toward the finish, when both man wore in their last hundred, the contest became intensely interest ing and the parlor filled up with spectators. Mr.

"Fogarty" took tho lead at tho start, being a caso of 0 to 0 in his favor at the very outset, and at the end of the eighth inning tho score stood at 10 to 0, with Mr. "Fogarty" in the van, the pace from tho start being rather slow. It was not until the tenth inning that Mr. Moul ton could get the run of tho balls, but then ho had got them well in hand and had ticked off 18 when an unlucky kiss ended a promising run. This gave him a temporary lead, but beforo the in nine ended his adversary rallied for a dozen, and this left the totals at 38 to 32 in Mr.

Fogarty's favor, tho average being a little ovor 3 only. In the next ten innings each added double fignros twice, Mr. Moultou scoring 10 and 21, and Mr. Fogarty 10 and 12, the balls running far mora favorably for him than they did for his advorsary. Still the average was not much improvod, and tho game was decidedly slow.

The twentieth inning ended with tho totals at 83 to GO, with Mr. Fogarty still in tho van. In the twenty fourth inning the loader made a neat run of 24, his round the table play being very accu rate and his work steady, this running giving him the first call of 100 points in the game', the totals at the time of the call being 107 to 75 in Mr. Fogarty's favor. In the thirtieth inning Mr Moulton added 21 to his score and passed his first hundred, tho thirty innings occupying just an hour's play.

In the thirty fifth inning Mr. Moul ton got down to the work ho is capable of, and by a good rallying run of 03 points went to tho front for the first timo, tho totals at the end ot the in ning standing at 100 to 100 in his favor. In this run Mr. Moulton did some very pretty work. He got tho balls on tho rail at 5 and ho manipulated them with delicate touches up to 51.

At 51, however, they spread, and at 58 ho got in a fine masso shot, and shortly afterward a masterly kiss shot which elicited a round of applause. At 63 ho failed to count by a closo shave. His adversary only added 4 in his share of tho inning, and then Mr. Moulton made splendid four cushion shot, Mr. Fogarty having apparently loft the balls safe.

In tho thirty ninth inning, after Mr. Moulton had made a very pretty run of 5, his opponent ran up 10 and then tripped nil oh a follow. In the fortieth inning Mr. Moul ton, after getting the balls well together for a count, slipped up on a masse, and left them favor able for counting; but Mr. Fogarty only took 5 off tho lead.

It was in this inning that the leader passed his second hundred, the call then being 203 to 18G in favor of Mr. Moulton. It was still uphill work for him, however, and it was getting to bo time for him to make another spurt in the running. In tho forty fifth inning Mr. Fogarty passed the second hundred, at which timo the totals stood at 2 10 to 200 in Mr.

Moulton's favor. The contest now became quite interesting, and the word hay ing boon passed outside that Mr. Moulton was rallying well the room filled up with spectators rapidly. In his forty seventh inning Mr. Moulton not only displayed good staying powers and steady nerve, but he played fine billiards.

Afterafow shots ho got the balls on the rail in the middle of the string, and there ho worked them handsomely with careful touches until he had run up 50 points; the balls then spread and after he had got in 8 points more he tripped up on a masse and left them good for a count. But Mr. Pogarty failed to take advantage of it and the inning ended with the totals at 275 to 301 in Mr. Moul ton 'b favor, and now it was that it began to look like anybody's game, and each movement of the players was watched with eager interest. Now camo the tug of and now it was that Pogarty failed to play with the same confideueo and steadiness which had marked his play up to the close of the two hundredth point in the score.

It was nip and tuck up to the fifty third inning, when Mr. Moulton once more got tho balls together and he had run up 10 and it looked as if he was going to run the game out, when ho failed to count by a close shave, leaving his total at 290, only i points to go. Then Mr. "Pogarty" missed counting after getting 3, and once more did the gamo look as if lost to Mr. Fogarty.

But after getting 2 Mr. Moulton failed to count on a follow shot which loft the balls on the rail easy to score trom. But Mr. iogarty was noiv over anxious and he had to stop after counting 5 on a question of a "freeze," and it being decided that tho balls did not touch, he ran tho game out and came in a victor by tho small margin of 2 points only.

As the fight is to take place within the next two weeks groat interest was felt as to his appearance. Myers is in splendid condition: "fit to fieht tor his life," as his trainer, Lees, said. He is now down to fighting weight, 135 pounds, without being the least overdrawn or exhausted bv excessive training. His skm is a marvel of hardness; his muscles arc firm and elastic and almost perfect in development. Not an ounce of superfluous tissue remains on his body.

In spirits Myers is cheerful and full of good nature. His outward appcarauco gives every indication of perfect physical and mental health. lie tallis ot the approacliing match with becom ing modesty and suggests that in view of tho great reputation and undoubted ability of Mc Atdiffe his friends ought to receive odds.

Mrs, fjoiiiaa Glide deceives the Congratulations of Friends. The fiftieth anniversary of the birth of Mrs Louisa Gude was remembered by a host of her personal friends who gathered at her residence. at 18 Third street, last evoniug. Many tokens of regard in the form of flowers and other trifling mementoes were not forgotten by most of tho guests. Floral decorations arranged throughout the rooms filled the air with fragranco and the eye with delight.

The early hours fled rapidly, winged with good Binging and select instrumental music. The vocal music was presented by Mrs. O. J. Glide, Mr.

J. Lauson and Messrs. Saunders, Ooghilt, Kent and Lea. Mrs. William Johnson rendered some excellent and inspiring airs on the banjo.

At midnight a bounteous tablo was spread for the guests. Among those present wore Mr. Frederick Gude, Mr. Arthur J. Glide, Mr.

Kittio Hoy and Annie Scriveu. the two servants in the Eames family at Bay Ridge, who recently lostilied in the divorce suit between that couple, wore to have boon examined yesterday by Judge Walsh on a charge of perjury. Thoy wore brought from the Jail and arraigned, but tho hearing was adjourned.

The girls originally had Charles J. Patterson, Mr. Eaiuos' lawyer, for their counsel, but now they have dropped Mr. Patterson and have taken up General Catlin. This looks as though the girls were going to turn about and espouse Mrs.

The jury iu tho caso of the boy Pell, who was drowned on Saturday in the pond on the oast side lands, opposite Prospect Park, has censured the authorities for permitting such a pond to exist, and recommend that it bo drainod. It is said that four boys have been drowned in thin pond.

Its Affairs Reviewed in the Mayor's Rapid Increase of PoDiiIation Aldermanfc Inilifference Censured A Ploa for More nntl Better Schoo's. The Board of Aldermen of Long Inland City met last evening and received Gleason's annual message. Tho document was lengthy ono reviewing tho affairs of tho city through and through and occasionally tingling tho fingers of the Aldermen for failing to do what was wise and urgent and tho doing of things not for the city's good from the Mayor's standpoint. The following are some of the notable thiugs in the mes. sage: No city in tho State has increased in population so rapidly as Long Island City within tlie past two years.

A large number of buildings havo been erected nml are in process of erection in nil parts of the city. Most of our new residents are persons with families who have como to acquire homes ami settle permanently. The general health ol the city has been good. JIany new manufacturing industries have been established and the indications all point in a bright and prosperous future for the oil v. The bondod debt amounts to 3,000, of which 0,500 are public school bonds issued under the act of 1887 authorizing the erection of three public school houses.

I he treasurer reports that thero was in bis hands on Deeombr 1888, to the credit of the several tun. Is, an UlicXIicudcd balance or $. 5 i home f2ii. 000 only of such sum lias applied by you toward the current tax since 1 levy. Win you consi.ler that this large balance ha.

been almost whollv exacted lrom tho tax inn non should have been applied by yon to relieve their burdens, as I heretofore requested. The treasurer has on hand lor the redemption of the tax ana revenue bonds the sum of It appears, however, that the holders of the s'amo are unwilling to surrender these bonds for redemption and payment. At a recent public salo our bonds brought $1.27. When vou consider that a little over two years ago our "bonds could be sold only at some 4 or 5 per cent, discount, bringing only 1)5 or 00 per any citizen having the welfare of the city at heart may feel encouraged at this evidence of confideueo in our future prosperity. The amount of our assessed valuations is $0,100,707.

While the necessities of tho city require substantially the same amount to bo raised annually, we have been able to reduce the rate of taxation steadily each year by economy and some necessary changes in our laws relating to taxes and the colt'ctioii tliereof. Had you acted upon my suggestions further and creator reduc i if I a of minimi, tions in tno rates oi taxation could nave been made. With unexpended balances exceeding you only apply $20,000 to relievo tho taxpayers. You should have applied at least $100,000 to the relief of the taxpayers which would have brought the taxes under per cent. The arduous aud'ntiinerous duties of the Commissioner of Public.

Works have bee.n discharged in a commendable and satisfactory maimer. In all matters relating to the removal of obstructions upon the public streets and repelling of tho encroachments of private corporations thereon no nas acton wiui promptness and courage; 3Q 1)3 1.51 have been exnctuled in tlie reiwirinrr streets, roads and culverts, under tho resolutions of the Common Council: 5,300.75 have been expended by this department for a new steam firo engine and in the ropairs to the apparatus of tho lire department under your direction. Tho snm of has been expended for gas and other lamps for lighting streets under existing contracts. The amount expended for repairing! pumps is less this year than formerly, hoing an average of about $18 for each pump: still this amount seems too much to bo expended annually upon a $25 pump. An attenuate supply of good water is a never failing source of revenue, comfort and safety.

Our supply should be at once enlarged and the resources of this department increased. Largo natural sources of water sufficient to supply the wants of the city for many years to como are eon M'liiontly near and should be at once secured and utilized. The quality of our water is the very best, but we lack in quantity. A long dry BeasonwJ or a series ol large fires would cause a scarcity oU water. Tho statistics of the department show" that wherever water mains are laid the annual profits on (he outlay exceed 25 percent.

I recommend that without any delay further sources of supply be secured, and, if necessary, application be made to the Legislature to enable the city to acquire tho same: that the water mains bo extended through the streets where most needed, and in a veryaliort time the revenues from this department alone will be sufficient to relievo tho taxpayers from nearly .1 the burdens of which they now complain. The treasurer repoiji that on December 1, 18SK, the accumulated balance to the credit of the Excise fund amounted to $10,411.08, sinco which timo $3,000 thereof has been transferred to tho Poor fund for the ensuing year. The annual report of the superintendent of Public Schools contains many instructive and interesting details relating to this department. The lack of sufficient school room, as described in my two former messages, is still deeply felt. The school savings bank system, first started in this country in ouo of our public schools by the efforts of a former member of our Board of Education, has become a fixed and established success.

'The pupils have now on deposit in bank over $10,000. This feature of instruction in thrift and economy has become a part of our school work, with the very best results. Under the act of 1887 considerable progress has been made toward the erection of new school houses in the First. Second. Third and Fifth wards respectively.

Kites have been purchased for the schools in the three former wards and the site in the Fifth Ward has been enlarged by tho purchase of two additional lots. No city in this State needs school houses suitable for tho education of its children more than Long Island City. I do not think the amount named in tho bill passed in 1887 is sufficient to erect schools largo enough to accommodate our children. While we are building schools they should be built largo enough not only for our present needs, but with capacity sufficient to meet our wauts for tho next live or seven years. During the past year, as I am informed, our population has increased 18 per cent.

This city is almost without public buildings. We own one station honse and one or two firo engine houses. Most of the public buildings used by the city are rented. The city should own all tho buildings for which it has constant use, and the same should bo constructed in a solid, substantial manner and be made lire proof. The selling of liquor in the City Hall has boon abolished pursuant to tho recommendation in my last message.

I recommend that you direct by that no liquor be sold in any building used i by the city for public purposes; that fire engine houses, police station houses and a recejjtipn hospital oo erected under tho recentactauthoriz iii4 the same. Our city compares favorably with the best in tho State so far as crimes are concerned; Wo have loss crime and fewer arrests in proportion to population than any other community, and the majority of the offenses committed have been of a minor character. I rocomiiiend an increase not exceeding twenty patrolmen and two sergeants. The bad if not dangerous condition of certain ofourslreots and avenues is a disgrace to any civilized community and a menace to the welfare and prosperity of our city. Some action Bhould be taken at onco to pave, sewer and grade certain of our avenues which are thoroughfares, such as Jackson, Vernon and Greenpoint avenues.

In certain of our streets the Long Island Railroad Company, with its usual modesty, has monopolized the entire highway, erected gates, sheds and obstructions thereon, placed guards to prevent the freo uso of the samo by the people, unless toll was paid to them, wholly ignoring the resolutions of your body tied the notices from the Commissioner of Public Works. After numerous complaints had been made certain of such obstructions were summarilv removed and the use of that part of tho street restored to the public. In another part of the same street that railroad company had monopolized nearly tho whole thoroughfare with side tracks, fences and other obstructions, and were using the public street to load manure from wagons to ears, creating a double nuisance injurious to lite and health. Through vour neglect we had no Board of Health; the people were helpless, lhe numerous complaints lodged iu my office made it necessary to take some action. The action was taken ft nit HUH fences, manure and nuisances aro gone.

I feel that in this matter I did my full duty to protect the rights of the people of the city. No fear of and corporation or individuals intimidated me, and it never shall. Jly acts in respect to the upholding of the people's rights have been tested in the crucible of public opinion, and I feel that the people believe I did right. HE LOANED HIM MOXEY. A Cig nr Dealer BEimtiiitr lor ISis Iollars and the Borrower.

John Bale, an Italian, residing in this city leased a cigarstand from Martin E. Robinson, in tbelat ter's cafe at 15 Wall street, New York, some timo ago. Last October Bale says that Robinson borrowed J300, giving him a note therefor at thirty days. A few weeks later he borrowed another $300,. Bale says that hp was induced to make theso loans by reason of Robinson's representations of his solvency; that Robinson told him ho was about to receive a legacy of $1,000 and that a drart on his uncle would bo promptly honored.

Bale has not seen anything of his $000, and has began a suit in the Supreme Court to recover the amount, and has also obtained a warrant for Robinson's arrest on the ground that he obtained tho money by fraud. Sheriff Rhinehart made a return that he was unable to find tho defendant in Brooklyn, and that he is informed that Robinson lives in New York. OBITUARY. Cliarles Clark.

Simis moved that a Third Grammar grade for mixed pupils bo organized in Public School JNo. 44. mi. jsurtnman objected becanso there were grammar schools near by lor scholars, and said it was a hardship on primary scholars, who were crowded out by the establishment of these grades. Mr.

Halsoy had been opposed to this change un til tho last moment, when petitions had been handed in to him asking him earnestly to secure a raising ot tlie (trades. Mr Aubery wanted to know if raising tho trrad would not necessitate the abandonment of a pri mary class. Mr. Simis said not. Mr.

Aubery said the change could not be made without special authorization in writing by the superintendent. Mr. Halsey wanted to know whether the Board was subject to the superintendent or the superintendent to the Board. Mr. Aubery said tho.Board was governed by its laws.

jir. Minus (nought the Hoard was not raising a grado but creating a new class, and called Mr. Aubery to order. President Hondrix decided that the resolution of Mr. Knnis was in order.

air. Auoery thought the result would be a crowding out of tho primary scholars and the establishment of a grammar school. Mr. Halsoy thought the Local Committee knew oerier wnai rue school needed than did Mr. Aubery.

If a grammar school was best, be it so. the committee know best and were acting for the best, and while Mr. Auberv talked well on general principles he was talking without knon'l eoge as to wcliool 44. Mr. Simis handed up petitions of 100 parents asking for a third grammar grade in School No.

44. Their children had boeome pupils in the hope of remaining there. There was room, ho said, and no primary scholars would bo crowded out, nor would they suffer in any way. The pressuro in School No. 44, was at the top.

They had the room fitted UU with ile.sks! t.bev had the tnar.hoVR. and all they wanted was authority to create the Mr. Btittrick said tho trouble was that intermediate schools were organized and immediately committeemen set to work to mako a grammar school. This was admitted by the committee. "Which of us admitted it asked Mr.

Halsey. 'Como to order," said the president, and Mr. Halsey remained unanswered. Mr. But trick then proceeded to give a geography lesson to show that School District No.

44 was bounded by grammar school districts. Ho said tho proposed change was without consent of the superintendent, of Public Instruction. Mr. Cottier asked where the vacant room was in school No. 44 Mr.

Simis read a list to show that in a class of grade seven there were but eight scholars, and mat tnat room could lie used. Mr. Bonck wanted to know when tho registry was taken. Was it after promotion Mr. Simis grew tired.

Iam surprised at tho opposition," ho said. "It comes from school whoso principal and committee want tho earth. Tho superintendent of Public Instruction would not como up man fashion and look at the school this year as he did last or he would Bee the need of it." Mr. Simmons asked excitedly what committee wauted tho earth. On behalf of his school ho denied tho charge.

Mr. Simis apologized craeefnllv. Mr. Halsey waufed to talk agau again, but there was a chorus oi objections. Mr.

Cottier moved he bo granted the nrivilnern of tho floor, and the vote on the motion was very loud in tho negative, but President Hendrix promptly declared tho motion carried amid general laughter. Jlr. Halsey then reminded the members of how he had helped to raise grades in other schools. Mr. Tealo said the question was not one of adding a new slass, but of creating a full graded grammar school.

It was the old question of primary scholars being crowded out for higher grado scholars. Mr. Gates thought the grammar accommodations good onough in that neighborhood and hat the superintendent of Public Instruction should at least be consulted. Mr. Rowe said that whilo ho conceded that local committees were the.

best judges of then' school needs, he believed that there was a legal way to got what was wanted and it should be followed. Mr. Simis said he was willing to act in conjunction with the superintendent, hut that gentleman had compelled him to appeal to the Board. Ho had otherwise to be Bubjcct to tho whims of tho superintendent, who. for what reason he didn't know, but doubtless becauso he was too narrow minded to act any other way, had without calling to see tue neon oi the school lecidod it did not need a new grade.

He did not know how to cbar minded action Tfe tcnow aeterize such narrow minded action the superintendent had found fault with the principal of School No. 44 for detaining scholars lo ttjium cej Luiuaics ere one, out, air. oimis said ho took the responsibility of detaining the scholars. Mr Aubery callod Mr. Simis to order md denounced strongly the language of that gentleman in attacking the superintendent when that official bad no chance to answer.

"He can answer as far far as I am said Mr. Simis, defiantly. "I told tho principal not to send those scholars away and 1 am responsible. I thought it would do no harm to bold them back until the question was decided." "Then the member exceeded his duly," interjected Jlr. Bartlimau.

Mr. Rowo sustained the superintendent who had done, ho said, no more than his duty. He objected to his being upbraided for doing what ho thought was right. Mr. Harkness said there was a surprisingly now phase in the school question presented to him in the discussion.

Ho had heard heretofore that ar. cominodations wero needed for primary "oholars in the now wards. Houses were hired for their use and schools wore claimed to bo overcrowded, and yet it was now claimed that there was plenty of room for them. In fact, it, was stated Uevl i one primary class there wero but eight scholars. He was opposed to the proposition of creating more grammar schools while primary schools were needed.

Mr. Miller said the scholars had not bono sent out as promoted in School No. 44 hoping for a raise of grade. He opposed such a proceeding. Iho motion was then put and lost by a vote of 23 to it.

During the vote Messrs. Halsev ami Jarrett each denied knowledge ot promoted scholars Doing detained the school. William J. Dunn's tirmiieation for an increase ol' sa as principal ot Puliliu Hcliool Ao. 8 was re lorrcil to tfie ointmuoe on Sa tines.

Jlr. dates, ot the Central School Committee uoved the appointment of six additional teachers. He mid the increase of three or four hundred pupils hud made the school too large for the teaching capacity They had been compelled to transfer some of the classes to school No. 4, on Ryersou street, and the classes wero taught now by temporary teachers. Jlr.

Simis thought this a matter which might properly lay on the table, and made a motion to that ellect. It was seconded by Jlr. Guilfoyle after tho latter had inquired whether another principal for the Ryersou street. branch would not be a good idea, lie motion to table was defeated anil the original motion Jlr. Guilfoyle asiang lo ue recorded in mo negative.

The Committee on School No. 71 were author ized to advertise tho proposed opening of the new school house. Mr. Cottier moved on its second passage tho proposed amendment, to the bylaws increasing the salaries ot cniro grace ooys' teachers to 000 and thud grade girls' teachers to a year. This aroused Mr.

Tenle opposition, as at its first passage, and lie said: The salaries of th, third grade teachers it is now proposed to raise arc already J800; that of second grade. $1 .000 and first grade, 1,200. Wo have eighty three teachers in this third grade. They want an increase. We hear nothing of the poorer paid primary teachers, of whom there are 421, receiving from J300 to H75 a year, nor do we take into consideration that 1,021 of our teachers receive from $300 to 00 a year.

The work of the. tin. mary teachers is jnst as necessary to the success of the school as is the work ot the grammar teacher, and some respects more so. JIany of the primary teachers teach trom. 60 to children a day.

For a third grammar grado teacher to have fortv fivo scholars is an execu tion. Our funds for 1880 are scant onough and tins is tlie wrong time to raise salaries anyhow." Other objections were made, but tho proposition was carried through. Mr. Cottier, in a half apologetic way, said he had another amendment concerning salaries, but he hesitated about urging it because he had been criticised tor presenting it, though he had only done so as chairman of the Teachers Committee. He had no serious objection to a postponement of the matter.

J.ne proposition was to raise male principals' salaries from $2,000 the minimum to 2,500 hb the maximum and iemaie princinais' salaries from $1,800 at the beginning to $2,200 as tho maximum. Mr. Bouck moved a postponement, which was opposed by Jlr. who said that when his mind was made up critics, newspaper or other wise, could not change it. He behoved male tench.

ers should be well paid, so that they need not go around with torn trousers or rent shoes. Jlr. Bouck thought salaries for female as well as male teachers should be mcreasod. Jlr. Buttrick thought malo teachers needed more munov to support their families "Nonsense," said Mr.

Tealo. "You talk of men snnnnrtinir families, there aro manv women teachers supporting aged fathers and mothers and largo liimiiies ui Hisiejb iviiu uiututut intu tlie little tney get." Jlr. JIcNulty smiled sweetly as he said that for tho first time in months ho agreed with his friend, Mr. Uonc.k. and wanted a oostuonement.

Jlr. Bouck smiled ironically and said he knew the rea Mr. Simis thought equal work demanded equal pay. Ho know of a male principal with 500 pupils getting J2.500 a year, while a female principal got but 2,200 for teaching 000 pupils. A postponement of the question was hatl.

Mr. Cot tier announced that the Superintendent of Public Instruction had told him that all tho principals qi tlie cay nan coniormeii to cue ruios reimmnp simultaneous promotion, excepting tne principal of School No. 44. Ho moved the matter referred to the Teachers committee. JIY.

Simis said tho delay was due to instructions from tho committee. Tho principal was ready to mako promotions and the committee told him otherwise. It was a wasto of time to consider tho question. In fact ho thought, it too trivial to notice Mr. Cottier thought that, in view of the fact that two of tho committee denied knowlodge of the onestion, it was worth investigation, and such was ordered.

Ovington. The call for the mooting was signed by more than two hundred ladies and gentlemen. Its purposes were stated to be: 'To form an organization which shall unite tho various art interests of Brooklyn in a common effort to establish an Art Museum for the benefit of the whole city. It is the desire of the directors of the Brooklyn Institute to mako its property the nucleus of a broad and comprehensive institution for tho advancement of art and science, and its membership a large and active association of public spirited citizens who appreciate the necessity of educating the peoplo through museums of art and science. Promptly at o'clock the following gentlemen assembled on the platform: Hon.

D. A. Boody, Hon. E. G.

Blackford, Rev. J. W. Chadwick, Rev. Dr.

Baker, Rev. Dr. Hall, Judge Van Cott, Rev. Dr. Behrcnds, Professor F.

W. Hooper, Professor Stevens, Mr. John T. Mr. A.

Augustus Itealv, Park Commissioner Homers, Mr. William Mr. James Littlejohn, Mr. F. A.

Gould, Mr. W. J. Coombs. General Woodward called the meeting to order and Mr.

Lo Count Stevens was made secretary. Letters of regret were read from General Woodford and Rev. Dr. Storrs. Tho lattor wrote: My Deau Sik I regret exceedingly that my necessary absence from the city in connection with a course of lectures in Boston will forbid mo to be present at tlw meeting at.

which the largo and promising plan of tho Brooklyn Institute is to be and discussed. But I do not think that vou or others will need to be assured of my mosthearty Hvmpathy with the effort to establish ample and attractive museums of science and art in Brooklyn, Tho city greatly needs them and I know of no city in which they could bo more fittingly placed. I shall hope at some future timo to bo able to oxpreas my interest in the movement otherwise than by a brief and hurried note. Ever faithfully yours. It.

S. Stouhs. General Woodward, in calling the mooting to order, said: The Brooklvn Institute has been ihn onghly organized by tho scientific and literary gentlemen of the city. An art school has been maintained hero for a number of yoaiH. It is a nourishing one.

But it is not such a ono as has been contemplated. Brooklyn is now a great city. Yet not within its borders is there a scientific or literary museum such us it ought to have. The art loving peoplo of the city believe, that it ought to have one. It has seemed to us that the park lands might lie appropriated to tins purpose.

They are well located for it. There is ample room thore for all the aims and purposes ot a public museum and library. The Institute, without any selfish purpose, asks all to give their cordial sympathy and aid to assist in the movement for. this purpose. Professor Hooper said thai sue president or the institute had been elected a year ago.

For a quarter of a century the hall had been tho only considerable one in the city. It had heard the orations of Agassiz, Phillips and Emerson. Tho speaker then wont into a history of tho growth and financial career of the institute, after which he said that tho value of tho property was $200, 000. The directors, he said, had eonclnded to organize it into an institution of arts and sciences of the broadest character. The speaker went into details relating to the organization of the institute, all of which, he said, were familiar to tho people of Brooklyn.

What were the purposes of the Brooklyn Institute They were to lay tho broadest foundations of an artinstituto. He would make two suggestions: That the best land available should be secured for a homo for tho arts and sciences. There was ono place available for both. There was to bo a triumphal arch covering tho entrance to the park. At tho beginning of the plaza was one.

of the most magnificent squares that any city possessed. On the right the academy of arts might bo situated and on the left that of the sciences. There was a better site still on Prospect Hill. The Brooklyn Institute was looking forward to making its property tho nucleus of a movement for an art center in Brooklyn, Dr. Behrends said that he was going to speak hi the practical aspects of the subject.

The City of Brooklyn had been said to bo slow in assorting its individuality. It was too modest. But modesty could be carried too far. Suburbanism was carried too far here. Therefore some people thought that its only salvation was annexation.

Jivoryining. some poopio inoimni, was on mo other side of the river. Now York, of course, had i ten times the population lint then London and Paris exceeded that. Brooklyn should never bo willing to surrender its corporate independence without an adequate return. Brooklyn, it was claimed, had only the Navy Yard.

But look beyond, at its park and hospitals, academies and public schools. Even in politics, tho speaker thought, Brooklyn had men as capable as those across the river. The public spirited citizens of the City of Brooklyn would yet make. Prospect Park the custodian of its arts and sciences. The speaker favored the movement prop wed by tho meeting because it was in favor of the people.

It was Democratic and ought to be pushed on. The museum had enriched the public schools. The City of Brooklyn needed a university for pushing forward the arts and sciences. He was in favor of such an as was proposed, lie appealed to the public pride of the growing city on the ground of its increasing iu stitulions and moved that the meeting would pledge itself to adopt the. spirit of the resolutions which Inn! called it together.

Applause. I Rev. Charles R. Baker, of the Church of the Me. iali.

was then introduced, and after enlarging upon the beauties of art, said that the best art whs the expression of life. There was a hungering desire, ho said, for the truth of the spirit of living It had been sail that Brooklyn possessed one of the most imposing specimens of art, and that was Raymond Street Jail. He would like to see something larger and more spiritual in art. It would be po sibh by such an institution as was proposed to produce some of the subtlest forms of art. He was in favor of a museum for the city that would appeal not only to the connoisseur, but would reach down to the humblest citizen, and make everyone a better and nobler man.

Rev. Jlr. Charles II. Hall spoke of tho history of the Brooklyn Institute, after which he said that he was not afraid of. science and that atheists helped people no to a higher life by showing what they could not prove.

A conversation in between Mr. William Wood and Colonel Allien J. Spooner had led to the present institute. The speaker then went into an interesting history of the institute and continuing said that tho city now had an institution that, was caring for tho growing needs of the municipality. The collecting of the library of the institute was done by begging.

Two gentlemen had gone about with a wheelbarrow and collected sneh things as were presented. From that little beginning there came in time a man who put the institution on its present basis, and gave him a name that would always be honored. He of whom he spoke was Mr. Graham. Mr.

Graham was, for his time, a remarkable man. The speaker then alluded to the gifts and good works of Mr. Graham, and sai that thov were not asking more to night (last night) than "the intelligent sympathy of tho peo ple of Brooklyn. He admired the Hub, and until Brooklyn could do anything like it. its people ought to stoi) speaking ol it.

in Brooiuyn a small collection of plants and specimens of natural history might be gathered, but that was all. But Brooklyn was beginning to live. lie had told Mr. Pratt that in his institution he was making labor honorable. Pratt had struck a line there that was a good sermon.

He was preparing boys for life that would make their oarents proud of them. 'The resolutions offered by Rev. Dr. Bohrends were then read by the president and unanimously adopted. Ex Judge Van Cott offered tho following resolutions: Moved that a committee ot twenty uva bo ap pointe I to act in conjunction with tho Board of i)i rectors of the institute in tho establishment of a fine arts organization, which shall labor to secure for Brooklyn an art museum.

And that this committee bo instructed to invite the co operation of all the associations in the city that are specially interested in art ami to report at a future mooting. Mr. David A. Boody cordially indorsed the resolution, ami said that he thought the proposed museum had all the elements of practicability, and that it was proposed for a community anxious and willing to receive it. It would bo accepted by all classes.

It was of that character which repelled none and invited all. It would enhance the value of property and make life pleasant for all who enjoyed it. It was along the line of tho best thought and bent spirit of tho city. A project of such a kind should bo welcomed by any community and especially by Brooklyn. Something was needed by the city of the kind to awaken its best energies and spirit.

For the work that they had met to consider ho believed that the hour had come. Ex Van Cott's motion was then carried and the following committee was appointed liev. Dr. Charles H. Hall, ch airman; Ilev.

Albany, N. February C. Thnt wise ana benevolent gentleman, Mr. Joseph Reeve, has spent a number of (lays in Albany roeeutlv in the interest of bin County Farm bil, which aims to secure his own appointment pfi a commission to complete what bis own Wunflerin began wrong, aw. Mr.

Beevo hard sent li in 1 ili, which provides for the appmnt "ment of a mm partisan commission of four by iv one Republican and one Democrat doing the choosing, to a certain Senator, it seems, and came up to see why lie hadn't introduced it. The reason lias not been made public, but it in now known that Mr. Reeve took liis bill back to Brooklyn and will bring it up again later. Meanwhile various people are reputed to be feeling around to see what kind of a bill would unit bis Excellency, the Governor, and at the same time confer the most political advantages. The welfare of the county farm as yet does pot appear lo be a mighty factor in th.

matter, i Mr. Michael J. Daily's bill, introduce! by Senator Worth, with blanks in it for the names of four people witli whom Jlr. Oady can make advantug eons rms, stiil remains at a tan1til! with the blank op 1. So Mr.

Mr. O'Connor and with pardonable interest oborved: Jo Ueeve p.i.ls me that you are in favor of putting his name in this bill of mine 'That's funny," responded Mr. O'Connor, thoughtfully. ho told mo you were in favor of the name Meanwhile the outlook for anything like a real reform measure for St.

Johnhind is exceedingly slim. daily's four head Speculative bill will not come to anything, partly because it is Mr. Dadv's and partly because the Governor could not consist.ently sign it, no matter who adorned it. if pas A groat many people feel that Charities 'ovnmissioncr Hay, whose term expires next January, should go in it. but Mr.

Daily's present plans do not contempl.it this, and Mr. Kay is not. lo be lightly set aside when it comes to measures of this kind. Then there is trouble The delightful thought remains that monoy enoue.li has already been poured into St. Johnland to have built for every lunatic it harbors a two and one half rtory brown stone house of the kind that grow in Hal ey street, above Sumner avenue, and the place is only begun.

The Greenpoint Perry Company's lawyers wrote Captain Emitting yesterday that they couldn't come up to tight IMam htield's bill to reduce their rates for live weeks, when they would appear with respectable citizens who would prove their charges were just right. The hearing was postponed until the Mb. Then the committee killed Tim D. Sullivan's bill to cut all ferry rates on the. East River after shrewd Mr.

Tallmadrre had taken the precaution to amend it so as to except the South Brooklyn Ferry. Mr. Talltnadge has had bills of his own come to life after they were dead and doesn't believe in chance taking. Mr. Adaum, of Newburgh.

moved that it bo slain. Nobody appeared for it and none against except Mr. Talltnadge. It was a strike. County (Merit Kaiser and young Lawyer Rhodes appeared before the Judiciary Committee of the House to kick against a couple of bills introduced in the intero.

of title and guarantee, companies, notedly one by Jtobert Ray TTaniilton taking awav the last barrier to monopoly by the companies by putting their searchers on the same, standing legally as those made officially. Comity Clerk Reilly, of New York, and a representative of Register Hleviu appeared, but all the time was taken up by titlo and guarantee men from Rochester, who fought a bill designed to give the county the fees and kill off the companies. 'They will be heard next Tuesday. The title companies are making it unpleasant for the fat office holders. If this bill of Mr.

Hamilton's goes through, as seems likely, it will cut County Clerk Kaiser's fees not less than ft 00.000 for his term. Ho feels sick, and no wonder. A salary for county officers is the sequence of this. In Monroe, and New York counties these officials are salaried now and the fees go to the searchers and what's left to the county treasuries. The Monroe County supervisors want a chance to fix the fees below those established by law so they can compete with the title companies.

This illustrates the pa. to which things are emiie. President F.dward M. Shepard, of the Brooklyn Civil Service. Commission, tried to be board be fore the Judiciary Committee on the Hon.

Patrick Henry McCarrcn's bill to make it a misdemeanor to play games on the Civil Service in the way of false representations, false signatures and getting someone else of intelligence to be examined for you when yon feel shaky on the location of Rovis boola Gha and the course of the Niger and want to be a policeman or fireman, as a lot of wicked men have been doing. The committee time was taken. He will be heard later, when he will say that four fifths of the Commission's time is spent in blocking such games. Just by way of variety air. Shepard spent a good part of the afternoon arguing against Mr.

Mc Can en's bill to prohibit gambling in coffee. Mr. Shepard appeared as an attorney for the Coffee Exchange and Mr. MeCarreu upheld his bill. "While I admit I may gamble to a certain extent," asserted Mr.

MeCarreu, feelingly, I draw the line at the necessaries of Then he went on to say that, coffee was cents a pound higher than if should be and that while the Brazilian crop last year was 3, 000,0110 bags the exchange sold 2 1.000, (100 bags of coffee credited to Duin Pedro's kingdom, or seven times as much as was raised. Mr. Shepard said the exchange had made New York the center of the coffee tfHile; that its business was wholly legitimate, that it, never cornered the berry, and he had the figures to prove it if they would give him time to produce them. The conmiitTee said it would. Various people interested formed the audience, including President Scott, of the Exchange, Justus Schoenewald's block on Evergreen avenue, near Magnolia street, troubled the House Cities Committee for a time.

In a thrifty moment he built his block out ten feet beyond the curb line and now wants the street narrowed to sixty feet to save the land he has gobbled and the 0,000 it would cost to move back. On behalf of other property owners, who have not built in this fashion, Mr. George F. Elliott presented a remonstrance against Mr. Blanchlield's lull which saves Sehoeiiewald and recite.

Tie state that Evergreen avenue has been laid out, graded, paved, and guttered at the expense of the property owners under the act of 1852, and "that the said Justus Sehoeiiewald knowingly, willfully and deliberately entered upon said Evergreen av, fine to ouild threeou after due remonstrance bad been made to him personally on the part of said property owners, as well as the City Works Department, and he built upon said laud in spite of such earnest protest and warning in direct violation of law: and he now seeks, through your honorable body, relief from the injury resulting from his bold, defiant act, and be Jufornied one of the undersigned, the Hon.

Russell resumed his cross examination of ex Judge Smith in tho Stewart will caHe, in New York, yesterday morning. Judge RuBsell first asked if there was any understanding between Judge Smith and his wife that she should observe during his absence any events which would happen concerning Mrs. Stewart.

The judge replied that there was no understanding to that effect. In answer to Judge Russell's question as to why Judge Smith had kept a diary recording tho conversations and events with and concerning Jlrs. Stewart, the witness answered that he thought at some time a question would arise as to the legality of the transfer of the property from Jlrs. Stewart to Judge Hilton and these events would bo of interest. Judge Smith has kept diaries for several years after 1870, similar to the one which was read Jlonday.

Judge Smith said the diaries were at his homo in Smitbtown, L. I. Judge RtiBBcll did not ask for thom.but said that he might later on. Judge Smith further testified that ho did not sympathize with the action of Jlrs. Butler tc havo the will of Mrs.

Stewart set aside, but he, as a lawyer, thought that some of the clause the will were illegal. Tho throe years' clause in tho will he thought was illegal and might be disapproved of by tho court. Judge Russell then read an answer to tho petition made by Jlrs. Butlor for tho breaking of tho will, signed by Mrs. Smith, the wife of the judge, which urged that the will be Bustaiucd and the petition denied.

The witness said that he approved of his wife answer and advised her on the subject. Ho thought that if the will Bhould stand it would be better for his family. Ho was not at tho present time in favor of Mrs. Butler's petition. ACCIDEXT TO A BIUDOK COXnUCTOK.
