Tt tha Honorable the Common Cornell: By a resolution ot December 23, 1872, am requosted to report the rates of wharfage fixed upon the pnblio doota in this oity, and my opinion as the power of the Common Council to lease any or all the tame, subjest free access thereto of the pub lie upon auoh terms as they may prescribe." I. Bates of wharfage in the Cities of Brooklyn and New York are mainly axed by the Act of April 10, 1880, Section 1 and 8 as follows: RmttowI. Tt shall be lawful to charge and receive MONEY MABKET THIS AFTERNOON. Wall Stbiet, January 133 P.

M. The negotiations of 10,00,000 worth of the bonds ot the Central road in London threatens to disturb the exchange market BOBito prevent the shipment of Coin tbii week, and while operators tn gold are waiting and watohlng anxiously they are ready at any moment to uhlood on a market sustained by aich a doubtful element as that of exohange. Some of the large holders told out this afternoon, breaking the price down to 119, and creating a flutter among the small operators. There is so little to be made in gold now that it does not pay for outside speculators to dabble in it, and it is too heavy fer the cliques to handle with any hope of success on the buU If the Finance Committee of Congress should put veto upon the issue of ony mere legal tenders, the operations of the Treasury Bepartment will bo very much restricted, and, aBBnming that Judge Richardson is to be Secretary oxi interim, his main stay will removed. It is, therefore, difficult to see what course will be pursued by the Department, and until some light is shed upon this dark subject, far reaching speculation Is unsafe, Theeffeot of this, state ot indecision is seen it the condition of the money market, which is liable lo be made stringent by natural causes, and if unwise legislation Is also brought to bear, it is impossible to see will be the result.

Money has ranged from 7 per coin to 32d and Interest thus far to day. The price of Central has declined all day with occasional rallies and purchasers at the top of the market mourning lost opportunities. The fact is unquestioned that the road ia earning enormous sums for its managers and stockholders, and tbat as soon aB tbo double rail can be laid the business will increase proportion. But whether tbo Commodore will dare more thau the present dividend is a question not easily answered. Had he issued a scrip dividend as it was reported would the stock might have advanced to the standard of the first class investment securities and even been eagerly Bought for.

By tbe plan of issuing bondB for tbe improvement tbe Commodore makes the Btock less active for tbe presont and at the Bamo time less interest than he would be obliged to on enlarged stock capital.

WHAT WAS PR0P0SE1I TO BE DONE WITH IT, Within easy stone's throw of the King's County Almshouse stand! a magnificent brick build ing two hundred feet in length, seventy.five feet deep and three stories high. The struoture looks as it it might nave beon built for some wealthy unlvemity. The silence of the building has been unbroken Blnce erection, save by an occasional visitor or the foot falls of scampering rats. It will be NEWS TO THE TAXPAYERS Brooklyn, whtn they learn tbat this structure was erected at a coBt of over $100,000, and yethasiBtood untenanted for three years. For three years this building, one of tbe finest, has been allowed to stand unoccupied.

While hardly one hundred feet distant, men, miserable paupera, have been crowded and packed together like coolies in a slaver's hold, TheM HISTOBT OP IHIS BUTUHNQ, monument alfke to the patience and more than Chris tian forbearance of a community of taxpayers, as weB to official neglect and carelessness, will repay the reader In February, 18S9, Lawrnce Whitehlll, now Coroner, was a member of the Board of Supervisors. On the 28th of tbe month, be intiodnced a resolution directing the Law Committee to draw np an act authorizing County Treasurer to borrow tKfiOO, to be expended in the erection of an extension to the AlmshonBe. A great deal was said there and then about employing SAT3PSB LABOB. As an argument in favor of the construction of the proposed building it was said that the place could be turned into a workhouse. Another meeting was held and then Supervisor Whitehul's resolution was passed.

Shortly after an act was passed authorizing the Coun Treasurer to to pay for the erection a workhouse. The following extracts from the act will show where the law has been violated in not using the Workhouse; Sec. 22. The Snnerfntandents of the Poor are here authorized, in addition to the power now possessed them, to take eharge of tbe Kings County Workhouse, when ereoted audlmade over to them by the upervisors oi saia county, wmon tney are oeroDy ai rected to do when the same is completed, and they are hereby furtfier empowered to employ, bycontract or otherwise, all persons in the various county buildings, who are supported at the expense of the county, who can be so employed without injury to themselves. ate.

oi tne act raaa as louowt "Ana tne saia Superintendents of the Poor of the County of Kings are hereby directed to classify the paupers of said county, putting AXIi PERSONS ABLE TO WOBE, without injury to themselves, in the workhouse, and retaining only the aged and infirm, and suoh persons are uname to work without injury to themselves in the almshouse of said county, and shall, upon the completion of the workhouse, IMMEDIATELY, BT OONXBAOT OB OTHSBWISE, provide employment for all paupers supported at the expense of the County, able to work without injury to themselves, and for the inmates of any of the county DuiiaingB on tne county term, wne are supponea at the expense of the county, who may be able to work without injury to themselves. Sec. 24. And the said Superintendents are also em powered, with the Almshouse Committee, in all oases tne reiusai oi me persons Bupportea oy tne saia county to work at such employment ae may be furnished them, where the same oan be done without in Jury to themselves, to PVNISH SUOH PEBSONS by feeding them on bread and water. Sec.

28. The said Superintendent of the Poor of said County shall cause the bookkeeper of said Board to keop an accurate account of the amount and value of materials furnished said workhouse, in the proper form, and also a correct aecoout and value of all goods made from such material by the Inmates of said workhouse, and also an account of the price received for tbe said goods, mado in the said workhouse, and to whom sold or delivered, and the time ocoupled in making and tbe number of inmates employed in making the same, and shall keep a debit and credit account of ail the work done by the inmates of said workhouse, with the number employed in said work, together with tho cost of keeping the inmates of said workhouse, and shall furniBh the Superintendents of the Poor and the Supervisors, once in every six mouths, and whenever called upon, with an accurate account of the operations of said workhouse. THB CONTBACT for the masonwork of the workhouse was given to John Ouilfoyle, for D. 8. Toorhees, carpenter work, Edward Eeogb, plumbing work, $1,883.

As rar as tne contractors are concernea, no isuit can do found with the manner in which they did their work. The various rooms in the building are furnished with floors of Norway pine, while the ceilings and walls are of hard white finish. Every room is supplied with gas jets and steam heaters. Three rooms in the building will each afford ample room for three or four hundred workmen engaged in manufacturing pursuits. In addition to this building, a boiler and heating house was erected at the same time.

This cost the trifle of about 25,000. The boiler bouse haB been put to some use, but as Btated before, the workhouse has been left to rust and rum. THE BROKER'S LOTTERY. First Prize Drawn by a BrooKlyn Brawn by man. The speculative venture known as "Brown's Seventh Grand Raffle" was docided by the drawing of tioketB on Saturday evening at a bouse in Lafayette place, in the rooms, above Gordon's restaurant.

The event had been keenly looked forward ta by those Interested in tbe concern, owing to the value of the majority of the prizes, more especially to the chief prize, which consisted of an elegant house with one hundreq feet square of land on Yates avenue, eor nor of WiUoughby, in the City of Brooklyn; highly cul tivated with fruits and shrubbery, TBE ESTATE OF JOHN N. LONOffir, free of all incumbrances, value, $30,000. The number of tickets was ten thousand at $5 eaoh. The prizes in crash amounted to $10,090. The drawing was postponed from the Saturday before ChristmaB, owing to the list of tickets not being sufficiently sold up at that date, of any of the most wealthy and influential men in Wall street and Brooklyn toek part in it.

William Parks, was President of the Committee to attend to the drawings. Accordingly the holders of tickets repaired to the locality named on Saturday evening last, at 4 o'clook in the afternoon wbloh was the time deolded upon for the radio to come off. The room was crowded to exoess by A NUMBEB OP PBOJOifENT COM JfEBCIAL AND BPOBTIMO MEN, about thousand being present altogether, but the decision of the great event did not take place until muoh later in the evening. A rumor was current in Brooklyn yesterday and to day that Mr. Samuells, of the City Assembly Booms, was the lucky holder of No.

6,967, the grand prize in the lottery, but on application at the "Booms" this forenoon, the Superintendent of that establishment intimated that this is a mistake. It appears that A BET OF flFTY DOIiLiBS TO FIVE OBNTS was opened in the room that Mr. Samuells bad the winning number in his which turned out to be correct, but Mr. Samuels did not hold the tloket. The drawing was manipulated by two young girls.

The full list of winning numbers will be published to day, but tbe following are some of the obief ef those which brought the holders a large return. Net. Prlres.lNos. Prizes. 9,678 82,600 6,275.

The four o'clock prayer meetings now held dally at the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association are in the highest and beat senso successful. They are largely attended. The services are conducted by different clergymen every day. STRYCHNINE WHISKY. Alcoholic beverages, however pure, are con ceded to be somewhat hurtful, and when adulterated are doubly so in their effect upon the human system.

That such is the fact need not be argued in this connection, as ample proof is afforded in a fatal Instance of alcoholic poisoning which transpired yesterday in tho Eastern District. Amos Bordwick, a yeung man aged seventeen years, and a resident at No 161 Mc Kibbin Btreet, at ten o'olook yesterday morning left his homo in good health and Bpent nearly two hours in a saloon corner of Marshall Btreet and Graham avenue, with a few convivial friends. In a spirit of bravado, and for a Blight wager, he agreed to drink off hand six small tumblers of bourbon whlBkey, and alter swallowing the liquid intimated it might just as well have been a dozen, as be thought he could easily punish bIx more. At that time, however, ho did not feel the effeot of the spirits, but it was not long after ere be realized what he had risked in pouring the infamous liquor down his throat. By noon, the young man was ubnoBt stupefied, in which oonditiou a coas rade named Joseph Poster took him home, and in forty minutes thereafter he was a corpse.

This ease is similar in every respect to that of a man ia New fork, who, Borne time ago, after having drunk half a pint of "rot gut" (the name for "manufactured or adulterated liquor) died in about the same length of time. Upon analyzing tbe stuff, enough strychnine was found in the quantity designated to almost instantly kl'l five strong men, and it may be this bourbon la of a similar brand. ARSENIC AND SODA. Instead of brandy and soda, or some such decoction, Marx Aufflnger, a German, unmarried, and thirty years of oge, last evening mixed twenty cents' worth of arsenic in a glass of soda which he swallowed at a gulp. This occurred in Beck's saloon, at No.

Meeker'B avenue, E. and, ae stated, was iu consequence of a quarrel between Marx and his brother, with whom he lived at No. 53 Meeker avenue. Instead of having the designed effect the arsenio acted as an emetic, consequent upon whioh the poor man's stomach was entirely purged of both harmful and harmless snbetanocs, and to such an. extent that, like many who have suffered from sea sickness Marx felt quite willing to shufile off the mortal coll.

Upon recovering Marx stated to Officer Hopping the reasons for bis conduct, and further, that he had purchased the poison ol a druggist named Utman, of Graham avenue, whom he had told it waB for a painter named Beaver, The would be suicide spent the night in a cell at the Stagg street Station.

But luckily, for we poor victims, brighter prospects dawning upon ub.

The Leader, after naming the managers and describing the route of the road, prints an Interview Mr. Turner, of the banking firm which sots ai finanoial agent of the Company: Reporter Mr. Turner, I have called upon you, knowing your firm to be the financial agents of tbe "Brooklyn Steam Transit Company," to ascertain the present condition of that enterprise, and shall be happy to obtain from you, for the columns of the Kings County Weekly Leader, Buch information as you may pleased to give me. Mr. Turner I am happy to see you, sir, and I will inform you that somo of our best known capitalists deeply interested in the matter.

We havo already $380,000 of etock taken. Beporter What Is the amount of stock necessary to subscribed before you can enter on tbe work? Mr. Turner $500,000. Reporter Would you, then, on the balance of $200,090 being subscribed, immediately enter on the work? Mr. Turner Most certainly.

But we cannot sea why your people should not do something toward the project. We are certainly not entirely dependeaton what might be done by the people of New Lots. But would, properly enough, seek some controlling voice in the affairs of the road, and Bteam communication would enhance tbe value of East New York property one hundred percent. Beperter You, Mr. Turner, have sold bonds for so many roads that you ore one of the best judges of their effects in building up towns and cities.

Mr. Turner Our firm has had the aeencv for the ale ot the securities of a great many lines. There (pointing to a map) is tbe Indianapolis, Bloomington Western. Why, sir, Indianapolis owes its greatness as one of tbe great inland oentares to this road. BloominRton, which wsb a prairie, is now a thriving town.

Again, look at Peoria, and this little place, Farmer City, was a barren plain but, as you would say, few montbs ago. Beporter What would be the coat of tho whole work? Mi. Turner In the neighborhood of $3,000,000 to $4,000,000. But that iB not the question. Capital is ample and all that we now want to do to start immediate operations is to obtain subscriptions to the amount required by the act.

Beporter In yonr financial conduct ef railroad enterprises, have you frequently found towns bonding themselves to secure tbe enterprise. Mr, Turner YeB. It is vory usual and I have no hesitation in saying that yenr town could not take a better step. I say so with a knowledge of yonr backward condition. Call the attention of your peoplo to City of Buffalo.

Buffalo would never havo been the city it is had it not helped to purchase its railroad lines. The same may be said of almoBt every thriving inland city in tho Union. But you need not travel far see the advantages of railroads. Look at Jersey. I live there because I can go home quick and get back quick, yet 1 would ratner live on tne lsiana.

again, bow has HemDBtead thriven The railroad I Reporter Yes, sir I Now, will you bave the goodness to tell me who, other than the gentlemen of the proposed Boara, nave taxen an interest in tnis route pledged themselves pecuniarily. Mr. Turner. Yes. I have no objection.

There are Wm. M. Everts, ex Attorney Oeneral of the United States, Mr. Stranahan, of Brooklyn, and Mr. Smith, a well known contractor.

The latter is so confident of the success of the enterprise that he invests for speculative purpoBeB. Beporter Do yon think the road would pay from the start Mr. Turner. There Is no question. In fact we would feel connaent oi a amaena ai per cent.

ATLANTIC AVENUE IMPBOVBMENT Now Lots also engages the attention of the Leader, which says Atlantic avenue has been greatly improved since it fell into tbe nanus ox tne commissioners, out no condition is far from satisfactory tbe taxpayers on the avenue are grumbling. There would seem to bo some thing wrong. From the very commencement of the work there bas been dereliction somewhere. We think the Commissioners should give us a little more light the subject. Let us see where the trouble is, and then we can place the blame where it properly be lonas.

Pennsylvania and Wyokoff avenues are now in the bands of the Commissioners, and the work of grading fast approaching completion. Liberty avenue, we understand, Is to be graded and paved. Thus the work of improvement goes bravely on under our town government. Do we need any other? Let our citizens answer, WHITEBTONE AND WE8T0HESTEB BTLBOAT. The Whitestone Herald repeats its charge that the Whltestone and WeBtohester Railroad Company has not sufficiently cared for the public convenience while its road was constructing It is conceded that an unsightly gap has been made which effectually stops communication between two portions of the village.

It was promised that the construction of several bridges across the traok, at various points, wouia De commencea eariy in uecemDer, ana that within the month, toot passengers would be enabled to cross the cut at Eleventh avenue. December has come and gone, so also the bridge, or, at least, its foundation, and probobly we ore further off than ever from a solution of the problem. The storm on Sunday may, perhaps, have been the means of preventing some mucb more serious accident than tbat of tbe bridge caving in, and that respect it may bo that the storm was a bleBslng in disguise, It has not been decided what course the Company will pursue, although it is quite probable tbat a new Btruoture over Eleventh avenuo will be commenced. In the meantimo it becomes necessary that some steps be taken to provide somo mode of communication between tbo two portions of tho village. This can easily and readily be accomplished by throwing a bridge over the cut at or near Tenth avenue, where the excavation reaches no great depth.

The bridge over the roadbed at Haggcrty's Iano, if finished as it has been commenced, will be unsafe and insufficient, and should be condemned at once. Tho aame principle which was being carried out at llev enth aveaue, Is being followed here and connot but tnnrl tn (MRAntmvts results. We ask the Bailrood Company to remove this re proach from our village. They can do it as we have suggested, and with but little if any extra expense to tuemseives. CONE! ISLAND.

Prom the Flatbusb Rural Gazette. Coney Island Point was formerly a thicMy wooded peninsula, and was used by the early Bettlers of Graveeend as a grazing place for their cattlo. During a storm of unprececented severity, the plaoe underwent aoompleto transformation; every tree was swept away and nothing but a sandy desert remainea. About the year .1830, when the present Beformed Church of New Utrecht was erected. It woe found nec essary to remove from its site an old wooden structure used aB an academy, a portion of which was caried to Coney Island Point and oonverted into a dwelling house, whioh was occupied by a Mr, Hicks until his deoth in 1837.

The hoUBe waB afterward removed to the Great Kills, Staten Island, where it now remains. A few years later a canvas pavMlion was pnt up on thn inland, and a steamboat chartered to run regular ly from New York. Since, the number of visitors has greatly increased, until now it uas ueaome a very popular resort. LAW INTELLIGENCE. SUPREME COUBT SPECIAL Peatt.

COMMON COUNCIL COMMITTEES. Aid. Clancy has not yet made up tbe list of Common Council Committees for this year, but states that be will probably do so during the present week4 He saj that his principal reason for delay is on account of the Aldermanic election in tho Nineteenth Ward, that be does not desire to complete tbe list of Committees until Alderman is chosen from that ward so that it can represented on tho Committoea. When asked whether he would make appointments regardless of party belongings he replied, "I ehall make appointments on the most important committees, such ss the Finance and Law Committees entirely regardless of politics, choosingtflo men bast fitted to serre In each positions, but on tho minor committees I Bhall of course give preference to Democratic members." THE NINETEENTH WABD ALDEBMANBBIP. The speciol election for Alderman of the Nineteenth Ward, to fill tbo vacancy caused by tho death of Al derman Walter, promises to be a rather lively contest.

will take place to morrow. There are three candi dates, namely ex Justice Z. Voorhies, Demoorat II. Zindel, Republican and L. It.

Stogman, Independent Republican. There is a Bepublican majority the ward, but as a split has taken place among the adherents of that party It is thought that the Democratic nominee will be elected. As Justice of the Peace be 1b well known in the Eastern District, and his ability and integrity will add largely to bis chances ot success. UNLIGHTED LAMPS. There exists a difference between the Auditor and tbelPresident's of tbe several gas companies, in relation to the bills for gas furnished the city tbrougb street lamps.

The Common Council, early In the year, directed that deductions should bo mado from the bills lor unligbted lamps as reported by tho police. Suck reports were made oacb month to tbe Street Commla aioner, but no deductions were mado, the bills presented being paid in full up to the last of November. When tbe Board of City Works came into control of the Street Department the Commissioners refused to certify to tbo billB for December unlets some deduction was made for uulighted lamps for that month. After conferring with tbo PrcBidents of the gas companies it was agreed to deduct a total of $500, whether for tho year or month waB not stated, but it is claimed that it was for the month. As no other deduction baB been made, the payment of tbe bills for December would be closing tho account with out taking anything more oil the bills.

This tbo Auditor says he has no power to do, as tbe Common Council directed tbat deductions should bo made for tbe entire year. There were, he says, about 1,300 un ligbted lamps in December, and the total loss to the city thereby, would amount to about $1,900. Of course the average would not bo nearly so large, but it is bolieved that it would foot up about $8,000 per annum. Tho Auditor proposes to bold tho bills until tbe matter is settled satisfactorily. It will probably be brought bofore tbe Common Conncil.

THE CONTBOLLEB AND OOLLEOTOB. Tbe difficulty between the Controller and Collector, in relation to tho receipt and deposit of tho money, re mains unsettled. It will be brought before tbe Common Council this afternoon, in tbe shape of a commu nication from the Controller, and some figures in relation thereto. Tbe Controller states tbat having called tbo attention of that body to it, ho will have done his duty, and the responsibility will then rest with the Common Council. Tbo Collector has nothing new to say on the subject, Ho has stated his position and proposes to leave the matter with tbe Common Conncil.

DIB.TY BTBBBTjB. There are numerous complaints of dirty streets and ashes not removed. It does not appear that tbe new Scrlmtihaw Dinnegan broom sweeps very clean on the contrary, it don't work well. The City Works Commissioners are not discouraged tbey think that time will settle tbe matter in favor of their favorites tbat they have not had time sufftolent to get things In working order. Neither are Scrimshaw and Dinnegan at all uneasy tboy know that the money witl be forthcoming on the 1st of the month, and that's what tbey are after.

DISCHARGED. Tbe Board of City Works went through the form to day of discharging the thirty special street inspectors employed by tho Street Commissioner. THE NEW CHARTER. It is Finished at Last The Committee of One Hundred to Pass Upon it Tonight. The Committee of One Hundred has com pleted its new charter.

For several weeks a sub committee has been at work on the proposed measure, and tbe greatest care has been taken in drawing up its Bcctions. It Is claimed by members of the Committee that tbe cbartor a great improvement upon that which was submitted last year. The principal features are given as follows THE MATOB'S POWEBS. Firstly, it iB proposed to place tbe control of tbo city in the hands of the Mayor, Controller, and one bead ot the Department of Streets, Water and Sewerage, the last named department to take tbo place of the Board of CityWorkB. Tho Mayor is to havo power to appoint the heads of tbe Department for the Collection of Taxes, Department of Law, Department of the Treasury, Department of Polioe, Department of Health, Department of Fire and Inspection of Buildings, Department of Parks, Department of Education, Department of Maps, Surveys and Repairs.

Tbe charter is aimed at the various commissions ex isting in tbe city. It appears to be the desire of tbe membeis of the Committee to concentrate official responsibility upon a few beads of departments. A majority of the Committee believe that tbe Police, Fire, and Park Commissions can be better managed by one bead for each department than under the present system. ANNEXATION. The charter provides for the annexation to Brooklyn of New Lots, GraveBend, Flatbusb, Flatlands and New Utrecht.

Tbe boundaries of each country town are to be tbo boundaries of a ward, thus constituting five ad ditional wards. THE BOABD OF ALDEBMEN is to perform, in addition to its present duties, the work now performed by the Board of Supervisors, tbe last named body to go out of existence. Instead of tbe $1,000 salary now received by the Aldermen they are to have $2,000. The salaries of beads of departments are to be Increased all around, with a view to obtaining a better class of candidates for positions. Tbe Aldermen are all to be elected at one time, their term of office to expire at the end of one year.

Tbe members of tbe committee fee! confident that the charter will pass the Legislature this Winter. Messrs. Sam. McLean and Franklin Woodruff, two prominent delegates to the Bepublican General Committee, are also members of tbe Committeo of One Hundred. It is said tbat tbey have received assur ances that the charter, with tbe exception of a few amendments, will pass tbo Legislature.

To night the Committeo take up the charter for discussion. BROOKIiYNITES IN NEW YORK. of this oity registered in New Xork Actor House C. E. Mallett, G.

This morning Brother Bowman, ohairman of the Methodiat Preachers Asssoclatlon of Brooklyn and New York, called tbe meeting to order, ana an nounced tbat the subject was the same as last week Hell and Annihilation, DEBATE ON HELL AND ANNIHIBATIOK.

This was the signal for every man who had anything to say to jnmp to his feet and endeavor to attract the attention of the Chair. They made a terrible noise, tho nhnfi mm to sunnres by pounding a big Bible with bis fist. Finally, a brother said that they were making a commotion that, in his opinlon.wpuld not be tolerated in the lower regions, and that if they wanted to impreBB people with their earnestness to Save souls lrom peraiiiou, mwy wuiu. mo.w Brother Jones xnere is iuu iuu.u about Hell in a way tbat intimates that intimates that It isn't as hot as tt need to be. I don't believe in Jumping up to Jesus on sheet music.

There isn't enough of fervor Bhown now a days by those who are converted. Beformed oinnorB don't fall down fn the street like thev used to uncer fcneir soul's load of erlef. Another Brother Qod bless yob, brother; koepit up. Brother Jones No, there is no seeming sincerity in the revtvalB of to day. People receive Jesus as though be was an every day gift, and they don't appreciate him as tbey ought to.

I believe in having the pulpit roar forth tbe thunder of Hell at the people tbat they may tremble and be converted unto Christ. If people believe in orthodoxy, in fire, why don't our editors writeBboutit7 A voice Tbey do. Another Brother I don't ogreo with the brother think that the ohnroh of to day Is just as glorious In irrelaht. nt God as it was fifty seven years aeo and I believe that there are as many being converted as were in the.aeys of Wesley. Many'other brothers then advanced their views pro and con, as to the doctrine of hell, and the meeting adjourned till next Monday.

Before tbe adjournment, Brother Atkinson Btated no ia hurt heard a Croat many things said that he didn't believe, be would like to speak first, next nnn the subject "What is the boat method of invigorating the revivals of religion," To to oi CO to in to ot its Death by Coroner Jones. HIS CHARGE TO THE JURY AND THE EVIDENCE ADDUCED. Coroner Jones this morning commeneed an inquest upon the body of the child of Ann Dumrortb, (whose death at the Lying in Asylum, at tbe oonwr or WiUoughby and Lawrence Btreets, has excited so much comment,) As soon as the jurors were assembled, Coroner addressed them as follows Gentlemen of the Jtrar You are summoned hers tr.YMHBnt.fi the causo of the death of the renuted of a girl named Ann Dunworth.

Whether that ehild was illegitimate, or whether it was born in the bonds of wedlock, is, I take it, none of our busi ness, unless it snail oe rouna to enect me manner oi birth or death of this child. As to the character death of the mother, I cannot see that I have anything to do with it unless facts arise in the investigation.

She then made the remark, "MY QOD, I CAN'T STAND IT ANY LONQEH.

"Do send me Bomowhorea." I got up from behind tho desk and asked her what tbo trouble was, and she told me. I took her into the sitting room, and asked her tbe usual questions relative to her name, age, etc. I asked her if she wouldn't rather be sent home. She said her mother was too poor. I asked her if she bad huBband, and she said no, she was not married.

I then told au officer to take ber round to tbo Lying in Hospital, in WiUoughby etreer, telling him that she wiBhed to be osnfined, and to get there in all possible haste.

On Saturday afternoon Charles Livingston of No. 101 York street, while working on jboord lighter, J. N. Bobbins, that had got blocked in the Wall street ferry slip, had his leg badly crushed by tho ferry boat SometBet, whioh came in collision with the lighter. He was taken to the Long Island College Hospital.

Skylarking on the horse oar platforms, and especially the front ones iB rather a dangerous amuse ment. Yosterday afternoon Thomas Ennis, of No, 241 Plymouth street, was "fooling" with some other boys, and fell off tho front platform. One of the car wheels ran over his left hand, crushing it in a shock ing manner. He was taken to the City Hospital by the police. Thomas Flynn, aged fifty, was found dead in bed at nine o'clock yesterday morning at his resi dence No.

270 wyokoff street. He had beon missing Blnce Friday last. The Coroner held an inquest and a verdict of "death from Congestion of the Lungs" was rendered. At four o'clock on Saturday afternoon, Eliza Foght, seven years old, received a klok from her father's horee, which was standing in front of her fa ther's residence, at 336 Bedford avenue. It is feared that the injury may prove fatal.

As has been the custom in years past, the Eastern Distrlot Burns Association, of which Mr, James C. Eadie is President, and Albert Q. McDonald, Secretary.has arranged for a banquet at the wall House, on Friday evening, 21th and in this manner will duly celebrate the birthday of the poet.

She was taken home by Boundsman SlaUery.

SMALLPOX. It appears that the statements in regard to the death of Mrs. Trigult published on Saturday were not correct. Sho died of smallpox. A certificate to that effeot was filed by Dr.

Smith and that gentle man says he treated her throughout for that disease. THE POLICE. Tbe Salary Ouostion laovinrr for a liaise.

Officer Alex.

Barr was chosen chairman and Officer Wm. Gear, secretary. It was reported that the Police Commissioners had all expressed themselves favorable to an increase of salary for the patrolmen from (1,000 to $1,200 per year; for Sergeants from $1,200 to $1,600, and for the doormen from $800 to $900. Mr. S.

Tracy would not favor the Increase, but had promised not to oppose It. It was resolved to apppolnt Sergeant Cornell, offi cers McEenzie and Downing as a committee to wait on the Committeo of One Hundred and request its endorsement. The Secretary was empowered to draw up a petition for presentation to the Legislature, to be circulated among citizens for their signatures.

Mr.

The Eagle has published some evidence which waBtakenJbylFire Marshal Ready, Are in the stables st iho corner of Fulton and Carlton avenue, and from which it appeared that James W. Stuart, tbe owner of a liquor Btore immediately adjoining tho stables, bad boen guilty of an attompt to burn up bia establishment, which contained about $10 worth of stock, and was insured for $800. The man Stuart was arrested by the Fire Marshal and brought bofore Justice Walsh, and there bad a full investigation the result of which was that the charge was not substantiated, and tho prisoner was discharged for want of ovidencc. to an be It J. in wharfage or dooksge at tho following rateB, from every vessel that uses or makes fast to any pier, wharf or bulkhead within the Cities of New York or Brooklyn, for every day or part of a day's use of the same, viz: From every vessel of two hundred tons burden or under, one cent per ton; and for every vessel over two hundred tons one cent per ton for eaoh of tho first two hundred tons, snd for every additional ton burden one fourth of one cent per ton, and from every vessel making SBt to another vessel lying at any pier, wharf or bulkhead, and for every vessel lying at anchor within any slip or basin one haK of tbe above rates.

Sec. 3. It shall be lawrnl for the owner or lessee of any bulkhead, nter or basin in the Port of New York, nhnron nnA fRcatve the sum of five cents per ton on tno goods, wares or merchandise remaining on tho ouianeaa or pier owueu ur ibubou ujr iuw, odi, ir tha migration of fortv eicrht hours from the time such goods, wares or merohandlsesbal have been left or deposited on such pier or bulkhead, and shall a lien thereon until paid; exoeptlhg merchandise and other TEOPEETY DELTVEEED ON A WHABF for transportation by oanal boats through the canals owned by this State, and also excepting Buoh merchandise as may bo landed on a bulkhead for storage purposes by the owner or ocoupants of a warehouse im meaiateiy irom, oi buu aujuiumg vu uuisuwu whlch.such merchandise Bhall be landed, which may permitted to remain thereon eight dayB without being subject to tho charge aforesaid." THE OITY WITHOI7T P0WE8 TO LEASE ITS DOOKB. II. The city, in my opinion, has not the legal power lease its docks.

First, because it has not such a fee them as can be converted into a leasehold, and second, because they are public highways. Ordinarily opening streets running to the rlrer the oity has stopped at tbe bulkhead line, and although this Department has successfully maintained the doctrine that if the body of such a street be projected farther out into the river oy tne oity or ny private parueB tne olty's right of way is proportionately extended, yet bo grant of title to the land under water thus oeeupied has ever been made by the State to the oity, and in any cose, therefore, the only title the city has to its dooks is in tne nature or publlo easement, or right of way. It hOB been Bhsrp ly contended in our courts that owners of private docks, not having a special grant from the State, cannot impede publio travel over suoh docks. The Court of Appeals, however, haB finally set that claim at rest. Yet it is conceded law, well fortified by the decisions in this State, that public docks cannot be converted to Srivate use.

The river and the street, both being pub highways, it 1b not within the power of any individual, or tho city, in any measure to withhold them from the free uses of public travel. The oity could not lease one of its streets. The title of the publio to a street being an easement, or right of way, it would be extinguished rather then operated by such a change of possession. While however, I am of opinion that the publio docks may not be lawfully leased to private parties, I am quite sure the city has tbe right to collect the rates of wharfage established by law for tbe use of those docks in landing merchandise or affording fastening for vessels engaged in any trade. Suoh user is not among the usual or incidental usbb of a Btreet.

It is such an exceptional use of the highway as in my judg ment may be charged for pursuant to the sot of April 1U, lBWI. It is the duty of the Dook Master of the city to at tend to the celleoiion of these obarges or tolls and while care must be taken to see that in the loading or unloading of vessels the docks are not blockaded against public travel there is no reason why the oity Bnouia not aenve a revenue irom tuis source. Very reBpootfully yours, Whuam O. De Witt. PRESBYTERY OP BROOKLYN.

TWEED'S TRIAL.

Opening: Speech by AXr. PecKUavu. The trial of Wm. M. Tweed for swindling tho City of New Fork, proceeded this morning.

All the jurors were obtained on Friday last. It was ex pected that the proseeution would to day object to ono of tbe jurors on the ground that he was a member of the Americus Club, of which Tweed was President, but no Buch objection was made. When the Courtcon vened Mr. Graham said that the defense had an objec tion to some of the action that had been taken, and he i was anxious that time should be given him and bis as sociates to consider the point before urging it. The Court granted them an honr for that purpose.

At the termination of tho hour Mr. Graham said that he and his associates had determined not to raise the point at present. Mr. Feckham then proceeded to open the caee. In his speech he traced In a vivid man ner Mr.

At half past two o'clock, before any evidence had been taken, the court took a recess. THE SUPERVISORS. Chances for the Chairmanship of the New Board. During the week which has passed since the last meeting of the Board of Supervisors, no change has been made in the programme of the contending parties in regard ta the Chairmanship of the Board.

The fourteen friends of Supervisor Coe still stick to him, and the other fourteen who are in favor of the election of Supervisor Byder are determined to vote as they did at the last meeting. In view of this A JOB HAS BEEN PUT UP by the Bepublican members sf the Board to get control of it. The project Is to make a motion to appoint the several Committees by the Board, without waiting for the Chairman's appointment, and Supervisor Harmon, who is understood to be at the head of the move ment, is named as the Chairman of the principal Com mittees to be appointed. Whether this project will go through or not, remains to be seen. PERSONAL.
