Olark Before the Board of Olty Worka-He Denies Having Violated the Contract- Grading and 1 Paving Contracts- -Ashes and Garbage.

The Board of City Works took up the consideration of the offal contract, this morning, Commissioners Whiting and Fowlar present: also. Contractor Clark, with Henry Hamilton, one -of his sureties and Commissioner of Jurors Linsky. The communication from the Board of Health was read. It was as follows: THE COMPLAINT: OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH, June 18, 1873, Lorin Palmer, President Board of City Warke: Bince the organization of this Board the following facta have been developed as the result of personal inspection by members of the Board, and by its agents, 88 to the manner in which Edward Clark is exeouting his contract with the city for the removal of dead enimals and night soil. It le proven that he falls to call at regular times at the station houses for the notfoes to remove dead animals, and permits them to lie uncollected in the streets.

He fails to deodorize and dienfeot dead animals and the carta on which they are removed. He receives the dead animals into an old barge provided for the purpose, until a suflolent number la collected, when they are hoisted upon a steamer and taken away. This occurs at most three times a week, and frethe small animals left to decay in the putrid liquids it quently at longer intervals. The barge, by reason of contains, is a nuisance MOBT OFFENSIVE AND DETRIMENTAL to the health of those doing business on the wharf in the immediate vicinity. He has failed to provide the ncoeseary number of boats, and those employed are built in a manner which renders them entirely unit for the purpose for which they are used.

He does not prevent the deposit of nightsoll into waters adjacent to the dook, but has his boats so arranged that by elevating portion of the bottom of one of the compartments, the material passes directly through the boat into the river. He does not remove the barge containing the nightsoil from the dock for long periods, and when he does, ft is to empty the contents into the East or North River by opening the bottom of one of the compartments of the barge. With this statement we transmit the testimony of AR agent of the Board. This testimony la so corroborated that no doubt whatever exists as to the faot. Very respectfully, J.

JOURDAN, President. HENRY CONNELLY, Secretary. MEMORANDA IN RELATION TO THE OFFAL CONTRAOT. WEDNESDAY, June 11, 1879, Shortly after Edward Clark entered into contract with the City to remove all dead animals, offal and night soil from Brooklyn, ho Informed me that he took the animals and offal, to a rendering factory owned by himself and another man, On the Hackensack River, N. whore he rendered the same.

He further stated that he removed all night soil to the same place, and sold it to farmers for fertilizing purposes. He bas repeated the same statement to me moro recently, that is within two weeks. This afternoen I proceeded to the factory indicated by Clark on Hackensack River, while driving over tha bridge the keeper called my attention to Clark's steamboat, the E. Morris, which was grounded or disabled just below. Ho stated that tho Morris came up the river twice or THREE TIMES EACH WEEK, bringing dead horses only, on her deck, and never towing a barge, or barges with night soil.

At Olark's factory, a frame ebed about 15x20 feet, I found his partner Cutler, who stated that they rendered dead horses only there. I saw several horace, but no smaller animals nor offal nor night soil, and no indications of any. Just beyond at tho Lode Poudro Works, BOD of Mr, Dey, the propietor, and several workmen at the same place, stated that the only boat that came to Olark's factory WAs the Morris, that she came but twice or three times week, and brought only dead horses. THURSDAY, Juno 12. At 11 A.M.

went to the offal dock at Wallabout; found on the dock six or seven barrels of butcher's offal in very bad condition, Made fast to the dock was an old canal boat, at each end of which was a temporay platform or deck for tho recoption of dead animals, of which there were five horses, partially covered by an awning. The hold of the boat contained water and decomposing animal matter to the depth of about two feet, and the stench emitted from it was very foul. Near by was the night soil boat, being simply a mud scow partially enclosed with pine boards. It was arranged in four compartmentf, one at each end being water tight for the purpose of keeping it afloat, aud two in the middle being used for the recoption of wight soil, of which it was two-thirds full. It was evident from the fixtures that could be seen, namely, two windlas898, with chains going down through the contents of the boat, that it had doors or GATES IN THE BOTTOM, by means of which the night ecil could by let out with the nater.

There 1788 n0 ODO on the dook in charge of tho boats or offal, and no policeman in sight. FRIDAY, June 13. At 1 P.M., accompanied three gentlomen connected with the city government to Clark's factory and obtained from varlous persons statements substantially the same as those made by others on Wednesday, the substance being that Clark conveyed dead horsea to his place three times each week and did not take offal or night soil there. At 4:30 P. M.

went to the offal dock at the Wallsbout and found there nineteen barrels of butchers' offal in fearful condition, also ten dead horses, The night scil boat was empty, or nearly 80, The man who had charge of tho place for Olark was intoxicated, L.ut he that Clark gencrally removed the dead animale to his fact. on the Hackensack River about every ether day, and that he towed the night soil boat to the Eame place, or to Keyport, three or four times cach week, Says the mau, laughingly, folks say that this 'ere night soil boat leaks, but I say don't, and I ought to know, for I run ber, and BITE IS A FINE CRAFT; won't you step down into the cabin?" A one armed man, employed as a watchman at the Wallabout docks, utserted most positively that Olark removed the dead animals and night soll once each day, towing the boat away before daylight and returning about 1 P.M., and he took them to Hackensack River. He knew this from what he had geen, and from what Clark and his man had told him. Officer Martin (No. 860) stated that when he went off post at 7 A.

tho nightsoll boat was full to overflowing, and that when he returned at 1 P. M. she was empty. Ho Raid that he had never known her to be taken from the doc and was satisfied that ste wore emptied by opening the gutes in the bottom at high tide. At the Fourth Precinct Statiou House, Sergeant Core statrd that none of the olicera had ever known the night soil boat to be taken from the dock, and he and others of the force were convinced that the contonta was emptied out of the bottom at the dock.

SATURDAY, Junu 14. Poesed the dock at 8 A. M. and saw the Morris, At 9,30 P. M.

went to the dock and found Olark's man (he who was drunk tho day before) waiting for scavengers to come and load the night soil boat. Ho stated that the Morris bad during the day taken all the horses, offal and night soil to Jersey, and that he "thought things would work better hereafter." SUNDAY, June 15, Went to the dock at 11:30 A. M. and found several dead borses on the canal boat half full of night soil. The Morris was oleo at the dock without steam up.

It was evident that there would be nothing dono during the day. CONCLUSIONS. From tho foregoing facts I conclude that the COlttractor ren oves dead horses and other animals and the ofal, on the Morris, three times each week, and that he dots not remove the night soil boat or its contents at all, but allows the latter to flow out cf the bottom at high tide. On Friday afternoon, at low tide, the boat lay in a bed of night toil, 88 it doubtless does always at low tide, The dead animals are allowed to remain on the canal boat from one to three days, and the offal on the dock nearly as long, until both ara in very foul conditiou. As the offal and the small animals are removed from tho dock, and as the same are not taken to Olark's factory, on the River, and are generally in too putrid a coudition to be the natural presumition is that all auch animal matter is thrown overboard from the Morris on her trips to Jersey.

Com, Fowler stated that the communication from the Board of Health was received during the absence of the other Commissioners, and had therefore been kept from the public until the present time, when action could ba taken on it. He also said that all of the Health Commissioners had stated that their report was based on fasts, carcitained, not only by members of their department, but from personal observation made by thomscives. Cum. Whiting asked what he had to 6ay. Mr.

Clark rel lied that he denied all the facta in the statement; that he removed all dead animals promptly every day, except when the steamer Morris was disabled; that he removed all offal with the dead animals to his factory on the Hackensack; that he took some of the night soil to Keyport, N. in a sloop, and the rest in a scow to the dumping ground on the west bank in the lower bay, He contended that he had peformed tho contract faithfully. Com, Whiting said that there existed such a difference between the statements of the Inspector of the Health Board and that made by Clark, that it seemed to him an cramination should be mado by the Board of City Works to get at the facts, Com. Fowler said that he was tired and disgusted with the offal business, and thought mora prompt measures should be taken to finally dispose of it. Com.

Whiting stated to Mr. Olark that the Board would take measures to verify or disprove the statements of the Health Department, and if found correct would requira his suratics to make good the performance of the contract. He also assured Mr. Clark that justice should be done him, Mr. Linsky objected to the statement of the Board of Health as pertaining to the rendering factory which was in New Jeracy, and out of its jurisdiction, and assured the Commissioners that he was satisfied that Clark intended to comply with the contract.

Mr. Clark stated that the complaint of his negloct to call at the station houses for ordera was unjust, because it had been agreed between himself and the police that all orders should be telegraphed to police headquarters and to the Fifth and Sixth Station Houses, where he called for them promptly. Ho claimed that the Odorless Sink Company was interfering with him by flooding his nighteoll scow with water. Com, Fowler offered the following, which was adopted Resolved, That the subject of the communication of the Board of Health in reference to the contract of Edward Clark be referred to Commissioner Whiting to counsel with the Board of Health, and establish what is the duty of the Contractor and what the duty of the city under the contract with a view to an absolute and strict complaint with the provisions of the same. This disposed of the matter for to-day.

GRADING AND PAVING CONLEAOTS. The Grading and Paving Committee of the Common Council met with the Board of City Works this morning, in reference to contracts for grading and paving certain streets, on which work has been stopped by reason of there having been no money to poy for the same. A8 8 law was passed at the last seasion of the Legislature providing for the issuing of bonds to pay contracta heretofore made, it is deemed desirable to have the work go on, It was decided to have a full statament made of the state of work on all contracts, and to take measures to have the work continued and completed. ASHES AND GARBAGE. The Board of Health object to atreet cleaning contraotors depositing sebes with which garbage is mixed, on the low lots in South Brooklyn, or anywhera within the city.

As people will put garbage in the ash barrela, although contrary to law to do so, the contractors do not know what to do. If they stop removing ashes, the Board of City Works will refuse to pay them, and annul the contracts, and if they take the aahes with garbage and deposit the same in the city the Board of Health will prosecute them, The matter will be the subject of a conference between the Roard of Oity Works and the Board of Health, and will probably result in some mESS-. ares being taken to compel housekeepers to deposit their ashes and garbage in separate receptacles, and to have the contractors remove them separately. BOARD OF OITY WORKS. This Board met and transacted considerable routine business, this morning, in addition to the business reported above.

Various street repairs were ordered to be made. Henry Tucker was appointed inspeotor on Madison street repaving. BROOKLYNITES ABROAD. The Columbia, of the Anchor Line, sailed yesterday, taking abroad the following named residents of this oity: Richard Pray, John D. Pray, Mrs.

Stimulated perhaps by the recent Louisiana movement, the colored men will consider the Oivil Rights Bill at Commonwealth Hall, Washington street, this ovening. The following gentlemen have been invited to address the meeting: Rev.

W. T. Dixon, Rev. Freeman, Rev. Rufus Perry, L.

Putnam, and others. HOW HORSES ARE HIRED A Chapter on the Livery Stable Business in Brooklyn. Some Idea of the Money Invested in the Eusines -What the Carriages and Roadsters are Worth--The Patrons of the Stables. Apart from the gentlemen immediately interested in horse fleah, very few people have any definite idea, either of the manner in which livery stables are conduoted, or the amount of money invested in them. Almost every person has cocasion at times to higgle for a turnout, but further than the experlence gained at such times, the average amount of knowledge existing concerning the business may be represented by a cipher.

In order that the readers of the EAGLE might be enlightened upon this subject, A reporter made a turn of the principal stables, and by dint of interviewing and personal observations, obtained the faots set forth below: There are in Brooklyn about Afty livery stables. The capital invested in them de from $5,000 to $30,000 each, There are but a few near this latter Agare, and only about balf a dozen at it. They are owned mostly by individuals who, for the most part, have been long in the business. Livery stables are of slow growth and simply keep pace with the requirements of the time. The large majority have only from $5,000 to $20,000 invested in them.

There are not more than half a dozen large frat class stables in Brooklyn to be compared to similar establishments in New York. There are about fifty having not more than two or three teams of their own, and many have only one team. This kind will board anything cheap for cash, and are patronized by backmen. Some of these stables buy second hand coaches, and have but the one description of vehicle clarences. Probably the average number of teams in the majority of livery stables is from six to eight.

But then, many of them do a lucrative business keeping boarders. The horses cost from 8900 to $400 esob; double team from $500 to $900. Coaches vary from $1,200 to $1,400. A second hand coach will sell for about $800, and then last these small stables longer than now ones are permitted to remain in frat class stables. Rome of these stables also do a general trucking businoss.

When they board hackmen's and truckmen'a teams they ask only rent. The owners take care of their team and vehicles and feed them and buy their own feed. Not more than half a dozon own their stables. The rest pay rent from $100 to $1,000 a year. GOING TELOUGH A ETABLE.

Said the EAGLE mAn to the proprietor of a well known specimen livery stable, "How many horses have you 135, about half private stock and half our own." "Do you keep any blooded stock "Yes, sir, we do. Some of the stook we board ara fast trotters and many of ours are too. "Do you keep any racers or trotters for professional purposes "Yes, we have air or eight on the Fleetwood Park Course now, which are going to trot in the coming races. We trot them all over the country, We have no running horses." "Have you any very fast horses?" no air; not extra fast. We have horace which can trot a mile in 2:40 and under, down to 2:28." "Have you made much money by your trotters "Yes, air, a good deal, We are very well satisded with them." "Do livery stable keepers, 28 a rule, keep blooded stock of their own "No, very few, unless they happen to be turfmen, bsside being livery stable keepers.

Thoy gonerally keep one or two fast horses for their own use on the road, in the Park and elsewhere, but they are all." "Racing stock are very valuable, ara they not "Well, that depends, Colts you can get for a and some horses too. Others are valued at thousands of dollars, and others again are invaluable. There ato come from which the owner would not part at any price, as conveying sort of distinotion upon them, like Mr. Bonner' Dexter, We bayo a horse for which we would not take thirty thousand dollars." "What horses have you here in this basement "There are our own, which we keep for shopping and calling, They are used the most, and we keep them hero because this is the most accessible place, The prirate horses and our best stock are kept upstairs. Let us go up and ece them," "What do you do with your manuro?" "A farmer on the island contracts for it for $1,000 a year, as it stands hero." The building is 73 feet wide by 100 deep, It is three stories in height, with a loft to store feed, hay, grain, tic.

It has also a basement in which horses are stalled. Such a building would rent for $10,000 a year, at picsent rates. The basement hag brick floor, one of tha improvaments and alterations which have been made recently, Tho atal'a are on either alde. There in a beam running the length of the room which baa rings fastened in it at regular distances of three or four feet, to which the bal. tera of the horses are fastened whon the animals have to be currycombed, brushed and washed down.

Ascending to the sidewalk and passing thence into the main carriage rooms, of which there are two on the same floorthe bagement floor- the reporter and proprietor resumed their conversation. Now, then, here are some of our coaches. You see hero vehicle of every description. "What does a couch like that cost and the EAGLE man pointed to a very handsome clarence. clarences- we call coaches cost about $1,400 apicce." "What did the other vehicles cost "Tho prices rango from $1,400 for clarencos to $925 for road wagon.

Top wagons cost about $475, rockaways and pony phaetons about $800, and park phaetons and landaus about $1,200." "How long do your vehicles last "About two years, and, sometimes, by rare good luck, about three years. All the vehicles last about the same, for, although the heavier coaches--the clarences and Jandaue- are used more than the others, yet the othera, being lighter and more elegant, wear out sooner and are much more easily smashed." "How often do you have to repair them "About every six months we give them a thorough overhauling, and repair, clean paint and varnish them." "What becomes of them after they are worn out in your service "To sell them to the manufacturer," "Do you get much for them "Well, that depends upon what you consider much. For clarences we get about $800 and for the others in proportion." "I suppose they sell them to hackmen and small Etables "I think they do." "By the by, what is the smallest number of teams and vehicle you ever knew of a man entering into business with "Ono team, air. I know there are many such, Why I know at least Afty who have only two or three t3ams and a corresponding number of vehicles. They simply koop enough stock on hand to enable them to style themselves livery cable kcepers and to set up in busineca." "How do they make their money "By taking i.e., keeping horses and vehicles from outsido." "low does business compare with that in Now York business la better in New York, of course.

The only thing that keeps up the business here la the Park, Greenwood and Coney Island, Another advantage in favor of New York is that they can afford to keep cheap carriages. Here it wouldn't do at all, 88 the majority of our customers are ladies who go out shopping and callIng, and they will not put up with en inferior article. Why, sir, there are first class stables in Now York using coaches which we would have turned away long before they were in that condition." "Suppose on occasions when there is a great demand for conches you run short. What do you do "Hire them of other stables Just as many of them hire of us." "How do you get your horses and vehicles up above?" "Oh, we have an elevator for the vehicles. The teams LaTe a gangway on a gentle incline to go up on, Lose we go up and see them "By all means.

Is this the only carriage house you bave?" "Oh, no; here is another here, I'll show it to you." Holed the way into another carriage house on the game floor as the other, and containing over a dozen vehicles. "Sometimes it has as many as it can hold, and is jammed up to the door." "Do you keep your vehicles separate from those on ivery "No, we keep them all together, as you see," and he pointed to some that were his father's and some belonging to private parties." "How can you tell which is which? To me each v8- bicle of the same description seems exaotly aliko." A WONDERFUL MEMORY. "Very likely. I know every vehiole in the place by sight and can tell to whom it belongs at a moment's 20- tice. You see 'practice has made me Come, let us go upstairs." Entering by the inclined plane the horses used, the reporter was shown around the floor, which contained about one huudred stalls, the majority running along three sides of the room, and the other being grouped in a square in the middle so that the horses faced each other.

At the lower end of esoh row of stalls there was a sewer laid to carry off the refuse. The floors of the stalls were laid in slats with open spaces between them and underneath were two thicknesses of pine boards with a layer of felt nearly an inch thick between, making it completely water proof. Each stall waa provided with a rack for hay, a manger for the feed and plenty of olean straw for bedding purposes. In an upright post at the end of esoh atall was a hook by which the harness belonging to that horse was hung. The horses are fed with oats three times a day, and beside have alwoya plenty of bey to eat.

There la more or lega waste every day, by this being scattered. When horses are not in good condition they are given mash to sat. 4 Maab" le out food, with a little meal, the whole mixed with milk or water. There 1g a large trough from which the mixture is fed to the horace needing it. While there be requested one of the hostlers to "mash" a beautiful horse he pointed out, meaning that he should diet her, A SQUARE MEAL FOR A HORSE.

"How much does a horse eat a day "That depends a great deal upon the horse, The animala' appetites vary just as men's do. An average horse will eat ten pounds of hay and twelve quarts of oats." "How much does it cost you to keep a horse a day?" "Well, there are so many itema entering into the calcalation that it would be impossible to state." "How much docs an average coach horse cost you "A single horse from $800 to $400 and a double team about $800." Tho proprietor then showed some of his favorite animale, calling them by name, describing their pedigree, and dilating on their trotting qualities, their speed and bottom, Passing thence Into the harness room the reporter was showed some of the harnesses belonging to private parties. They were all in appleple order. The room la in charge of a man who has nothing to do but to keep the horses In order. There is a hook to hang each get of harness on, and above is a label bearing the ownor's name.

BRUTAL ASSAULT. Two Men Nearly Kicked to Death by Gang of Ruffians on Fulton street. Last night, between the hours of eleven and twelve, Rapelyea street, corner of Hamilton avenue, South Brooklyn, was the scene of a most cowardly and murderous assnult, committed by from eight to ten mer, ou two others. That the case may ba clearly put and understood, let it be said that two or three evenings ago a man by the nams of Michael Vallely, who residca at 292 Columbia street, whue he was returning home from New York, where ho is engaged a liquor atore, and when near his homo he was met by John Donovan, who insulted him. A quarrel ensued between the two men, when Vallely succeeded in whipping Donovan.

The two men then went to their respoctive homes. Thera WAB obarge made againat either to the police, and of course thera was no arrest. Vallely did not even refer to the matter, as he supposed that the liking he had give Donovan bad settled the affair. Donovan, however, viewed the subjeot in a differant light. He resolved to get square" with the man who thrashed him.

He, therofore, wont among his friends, told them how he was punished, and asked thom to assist him in BEATING VALLELY, The opportunity came last night at abont half post eleven o'clock. Vallely, accompanied by Joen Heinoy, who also resides at No. 292 Columbia street, and is omployed with Vallely in the New York liquor store referred to, were walking home from their business quietly talking to each other, and not suspecting any danger abcad. They had reached Rapelyea stroet, corner of Hamilton avenue, and were in the act of turning up toward Columbia street, when John Donovan suddenly JUMPED OUT OF A DOORWAY, and struck Vallely a fearful blow on the head. At the same instant a man by tho name of Murphy rushed across the street and pitched into Heiney.

Vallely and Keinoy were dumbfounded almost with tho audden aurpriso and attempted to get away from the two ruffians. They were not successful, however, for just at that moment Donovan shouted, 4 A KNIFE, A KNIFE, BOYS when a brother of Murphy's, Andy Loonard, John Benam, James Cody and Dick Callighan, together with others, rushed out from the hallway of Fogarty's liquor saloon, at that place, and through a gate leading from the back yard, and pounced upon the two defenceless men, throwing them down, kicking and abusing them in a frightful manner abont their chests and backe and faces, Vallely and Heiney essayed several times to free themaciyes, calling out "murder," for thoy certainly expected to be killed outright, but the more they triod to extricato themselves, and with every time they cried out, additional kicks and poundings wera administered. The cowardly ruflans had succocded in nearly kicking the life out of the two men bafore a policeman made his appearance, when they scattered and hid themselves. The wounded men were, at their requeat, taken to their home, where they atill lie in a precarious condition, attended by Dr. Alberts, of Summit street.

This morning nearly half of the polico force of the Third Precinct were despatched in various directions to arrest the cowardly gang, and at one o'clock they had succeeded in getting five of them, 08 follows: John Donovan, the ring leader, one of the Murpbys, Andy Leonard, John Brennan and Dick Callaghan These five were taken before Justloe Delmar, by whom the case was set down for trial as soon de tho pollao shall have arrested the other men. The LAGLE reportor visited Heiney and found him in a fearful condition. His face was badly cut and swollen, both eyes being closed; his chest and back and sides were covered with contualons. The eight was sickening. The pollos did their beat to thwart the efforts of the reporter to get at the facts 01 the case.

They (the police) bad instruhted the prisoners not to say a word, and they minded well the instructons, for when one or two of them were questioned they were de allent as mummies. THE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. What the Young Men have been Doing the Past Year-The Most Successful Institution of its Kind in the Coumtry. The annual reports, showing what the Young Men's Association of this city accomplished during the year ending Moy 1, have Just been completed, They show the institution to be in a conditon of unprecedented prosperity. The rooms of the Association are at the corner of Fulton street and Gallatin place, Speaking of this the refort says: The great event of the past year wag the ltage and occupancy of our pressut magnificent quarters-tho largest and finest iron and brick business block in the city- specially arranged above the stores for the Association and the accommodation of its numerous appliances, and furnished in the most appropriate and befiting style for its noble object.

Thelease of the present building was followed by the closing of the library and rooms from the first of August to the 80th of September. The Association moved from the old building to the new on the first of September last. The Commitice on Furnishing gave rea asaiduously to the work, and being availed of the heated Summer and the stagnation in business, were able, at great reductions in the cost, to complete the labor committed to them at an expense of $4,993.90, and with a careful examination and preparation of the old volumes in the Library, and the addition of 1,000 new volumes at an expense of $1,197.85, to have the whole ready for the reopening on the evening of September 30, 1872. THE LECTURES DELIVERED. The attendance on the lectures during the Winter baa been fully egual and often much beyond the capsolty of the new hall, varying, according to estimate, from 1,900 to 1,500, filling at times the standing places and adjacent openings, as well as the sittings of the hall; the stairway being crowded an hour in advance of tho lecture in the eagerness to scoure seats, Twenty-three scientifo lectures have been delivered: Six by Prof.

E. 8. Morse, on "Natural History (animal kingdom)." Four by Prof. Wm. 0.

Richards, ou "Chemistry of Physical Forces." One by Prof. G. F. Barker, on "Sand Blast Process of Etching." Two by Prof. 8.

Duryea, D. on "Vexed Quostions in Morale." Three by Prof. Crosby, on "Physiology." Two by Prof F. T. L.

Boyle, on "Art." One by Prof. B. Kellogg, on "Style." In addition to these leotures, which wore all free to the membery, classes, equally free, for the study the languages, drawing and musio have been conducted with great success. THE MEMBERSHIP. To the present time, (June 1), 2,703 new members have been enrolled.

To provide for still larger accommodations the Board of Directors have leased an additional story over the fourth store from Gallatin place, scouring another egress from the hall through the doorway next to Mr.

Horton's store on Fulton street- desideratum whiob doubles the value of all the other apartments, while it will enable us to add largely to the socommodation of our olass2s. Our sorest need, and that to which we purpose to address ourselves during the coming Summer, Is the INOREASE OF OUR LIBRARY and the periodicals in our reading room, We most earneatly solloit contributions from members, readers and citizens generally for this object. From one to five dollara each from every render, acoording to ability, would soon double the number of volumes. Every dollar of such a contribution, if the plan were extensively carried out, would return a hundred fold to esob reader. It wan with special reference to this object that it was propoacd, but not decided, at our annual meting, to add one dollar to cach membership fee, THE TREASURER'S STATEMNT.

The statement of the Treasurer shows that on January 1878, there was on band $798.11, and that during the present year there has been received, of which $7,140.50 was for members' fees for twolve months, and $8,548.00 in donations, Thero has boon expended, sat, 800.22, leaving a balance to new account of $6.41.

PACKER INSTITUTE. Reception and Closing Exercises by the Graduating Class of 1873. Oratory, Poetry, History, and General Reflections-Ceremonie: in the Chapel, Planting the Ivy, Eleotion of Class Officers, and General 1 Jollification. The graduating olase of 1878 of the. Paoker Institute gave their closing recaption and indulged in their final class exercises in the Institute yesterday afternoon.

There was a Ane company present, and the exercises wero conducted with more than ordinary ability. In order, however, that the contributions to tho entertainment may be understood, it is necessary to remember that the class elects its own officers, and that those elected this year were the following young ladies: President, Fanny D. Fish; Historian, Misa Mary E. M. Ouyler, daught.r of Rev.

Dr. Ouyler; Orator, Miss Laura Lyon; Poet, Miss Julia Sedgwick; Bombastio Orator, Mics Ella Williams Frophot, Miss Emma Walker: Ivy Poet, Miss Louise Peer, The following is a lict of the members of the class Caroline Ayrc8, Kate Deloher, Obarlotte I. Bornatein, Helen Blacklin, Isabel M. Ohapman, Mary E. M.

Guyler, Francis Dennis, Agnes Dougall, Fanny Fish, Grace L. Green, Carcline C. Ives, Laura Lyon, Louiso Pocr, Sarah Seaman, Ida B. Sears, Julio H. 8edgwick, Cora E.

M. Spangler, Josephine F. Sprott, Emma Walker, Mary L. Westervelt, Ella F. Williame, Jeannette Williame.

The exercises were opened with somo fine musio by Miss Cora Sprangler, after which the President adascd brit By, but with rare good taste, her associates, On the wh'oh they had passed through, on the importance of their present gathering and on their prospeotive separation. Miss Cuyler, daughter of Rev. Dr. Cuyler, then read the following history of the class. HISTORY OF THE CLASS, The class of has but few more hours to live, before it becomes only a memory in old Paoker, a pleasant memory, We trust, still to be Icoked upon with admiraticn by tolling and sophomores, who regard us with a sort of awe, for having endured all the bardehips they imagine to be the lot of seniors, and having survived to tell the tale.

We shall be looked upon alas by aspiring juniors with, we fear, no awe at all, for 1 breeds contempt," but only 88 8 very respectable but rather "old fogy" affair. Yes, such will be our fate, for in a very short spuce of time, in the words of our college brothers, shall be alumni, too." Can realize it, Bickera of 7737 As we have toiled and dug locking forward to the time, when "the end shall crown the work;" can you believe that the long looked for end has really come Nothing now remains but to look back over the long way we have travelled, and to poor unworthy mo, has been given the bonor of chronioling the migaty deeds of this marvelous class. Would you learn, turn, oh ye people, of deeds, of volor done, of wonders accomplished, then all give heed and hearken to my simple tale. First of all, you must know seniors do not "jus- grow," after Topsey's convenient fashion, but they must undergo a certain amount of discipline us juniors, which, according to old Butler, properly Ate them for the state of bliss awaiting them in the senior class. We accordingly plodded our way through the junior year, and time would fall wore wO to tell of all the trials and pleasures which befell us then.

Suffice it to say, that toward the close of the year we asserted our inalienable rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," by an animated aud thrilling debate on the subjects of "Girls Rights." But our olass birthday properly was Eeptombor 29, in the year of our Lord 1873; for on that day was organized, in formal style, the class of $73, They adopted the mysterious word "Corona" as their countersign, blue as their class color (which would have been more appropriate about examination times, for in the beginning every thing was coleur de rose), and as a -grand finale they chose the significent motto, "Finis coronat opus." We then proceeded to elect our officers, and for onco we cast our ucts on the right side of the ship, for with one consent we DREW A GREAT FISH for our President. We shall nevor again believe tho old proverb, 4 There are 88 good fish fu the Bea 88 ever wero caught," for We firmly believe there never was so good a Fish as ours, or one 80 worthy of Presidential honors. Our noxt haul was in shape of Miss Dennis, for Vice-Preaident who has given evidence of her triny origin, by always "weeping a littlo weep," which has becomo historically conneoted with examinations. A fresh young mermaid with decidedly "green" hair was next caught for our Treasurer, while we chose for Secretary a little girl whose hair was thick with many a ourl which clustered round her head. We found our strength was not in numbers, certainly, for we were only twenty-three, all told, but we modestly thought that we made up in quality what we lacked in quar.ity.

But, alas! we were soon bereft of two of our numbers, for Miss Siow and Miss Scofeld left our ranks, Miss Scofeld being summoned home and Misa Stow, in whose little body so much of good sense is stowed away, being "off for freah fields and pastures new." To their memory peace. While looking at our clar 3 we mentally exclaim, "What's in a name?" For Fe behold the most gedats and stately of all our number bearing the breezy, frisky name of "Airs," while the centlest lamb of all the flock, meekly wears the derco cognomen of Lyon. If the name could only be slipped over on her big belligerent what a happy combination there would be! For wa have in our midst two sweet Williams, who shed around them the fragrance of their presenco, refreshing and reviving us all. One is a white, fragilelooking flower, while the other is rosy and amiling as a May morn. We had hardly comprehended the stupendous fact that we were actually censors, and that in spite of this wondrous event, the world moved on as it bad done brfore this came to pass, when to our amazement, and tell it not in Gath-gratified pride- we were told that we had been considered worthy to guard the interests of Packer, and had been CONSTITUTED A POLICE FORCE, with all the dignity of a blue bow as insignia of office.

We entered with all the alacrity becoming grave and reverend seniors on our duties, and in spite of several occasions, when we discovered to our horror that even a senior's lofty mien did not strike terror to tho heart of lawless Young America, we have 80 far succooded that the bows have died a natural death, and we rule by the might of our presence alone, The middle of the year witnessed a great event. The 12th of February will ever be marked as a red letter day in our calendar, for on that memorable day came off our grand Thanksgiving in honor of having fished "that direful spring of 80 much woe," mental philosophy. Is there Any heur; among us, oli, my sisters, so utterly lost to all feeliug of class honor as not to feel her puises quicken and ber heart thrill at the very mention of that magio word, mental dinner Talk of Lord Mayor's banqueta1 Why thoy are like the tea partice of our infancy, whon compared in grandeur with our glorious spread Can we ever forget our enperhuman efforts in conquering all obstacles, our 'adventures, the festal board crowned with every delicacy that our twenty-five for fle brains could suggest, or how when our guests having doparted, we made old Paoker's holla ring as never before, with the musio of our cheera and And when the fun "waxed fast and furious," German eurprises were produced, and we beheld the novel sight of our honored President "boneath a jockey hat and feather," while our little Treasurer looked imo under a towering helmet. Then we desoended to the claesic halla of the gymnasium and there round and round the mystio ring, did lightly dance and awcotly sing," till the "ghades of night fell" and we want jubilantly homeward and tho "party was out," as Amy says. If you would kuow the magical effect which THE STUDY OF MENTAL PHILOSOPHY had on our intellects, I would cite the following 88 god example of conclusive logle.

One of our most brilliant thinkers one day being asked by our instructor, how far the nerves of motion and those of sensation went in company after leaving the brain, startled 118 all by the following concise yet thrilling answer: 4 they divide." It had almost passed into a proverb, that genius is subject to many peculiaritice, and on this supposition, for "ways that are dark and things that a.3 strange," we claim that the class of '73 la a rara collection of genuses. One of the most eccontric, aud therefore most gifted of our class, is rather inclined to whit you might term a fired determination of purpose, or otherwise, 0 spice of Mother Eve's obatinacy, and who if she once walks into a project, All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't walk her ont again." But since most of her schemes are very fensible, and her notions are worthy of her fertile intellect, we happily resign ourselves, knowing that If she will, she will, and you may depend on't if she won't the won't, and there's the end on't." All honor to that illustrious member of '78, without whose faitliful instrument wo would have gone to class with our weapons unsharpened for the All honor to that knife which his found a home in 80 many of careless pockets, and which, liko Mr. Micewber, has a propensity for "turning up" in the mos: urexpected places, May its memory be embalmed in our inmost hearts. Another one of our number, too quick of speech, but not so quick at hearing, has from inability to folOW the winding thread of recitation, spent her "hinging honors," in "dreaming, fondly dreaming." The summary manner, in which her "wool gathering" wits are recalled from the four quarters of the globe, and the ardor with which she announces, an 8 new idca, that which has boon disoussed and consigned to oblivion long before, is certainly most exhilicating. But words and patience would be exhausted, were we to attempt to tell all that is enterlaining and wonderful about this brilliant company, to tell of her, who in spite of certain youthful "gushinge" had taken honorable place among the "seers of her, whose merry eyes betray her silent lipa, and speak of hidden fun, or of little Joe, whose bright idena have sprouted all the ycar, so greatly to our edification.

you know what 88 splendid our class baa done? of course, we do not refer to our having finished twelve books this year, having written up leagues of foolscap in examinations, or to similar trifles, but to our extraordinary deeds of my dears, and you shall hear of the wonderful things we bave done this year," First, under our guiding care the Quarterly has flourished like 0 "green bay tree," and we introduced many new features. To you, ob ye, juniors, we commend this idol of our hearts. Wo take to ourselves much credit for having enlarged our list of cellege exchanges five fold, there being but eighteen at the beginning of the year, while we now receive nearly eighty magazines and papers, from all parts of our land, and oven from the Queen's dominion. It has been thus very charming to become with all the "4na and outa" of every day life in so many colleges, to hear of the scrapes, adventures, worries and of our college brothers, and we feel that ware we now to visit old Yale, Harvard or Prinot ton, we should feel like old friends, and anything but Freshmen, have also suffered, in company our younger sisters, from the attack of DRAMATIO FEVER, which has been so prevalent this year. And would you believe that 4 grave and reverend seniors" indulged the rash idea of invoking the comic muza, and covering themselves with glory in an original play? But, alas, all our amall plans were speedily given up and lost in the shadow of the great sorrow which came upon us In early spring days, and made us unwilling to touch the work which dear hands bad left unfinished.

But tho' we have had our share of sorrow, yet my sisters, one grand success has been ours! Have we not ceceded in one great achievement: one for which posterity will rise up and call us blessed that of eatabMahing the MYSTERIOUS P. D. 0., the most beneficent institution of modern times? Would that my poor pen were inspired, that I might record the beauty and sublimity of this noble Institution-whioh if we wait just long enough, will render us immortal. But alas my comrades of our time for ambitious projects, for trials and successes 1a forever over. Qur hours are numbered in old Pooker's balla.

No more cramming, no more midnight vigils with old Loomla, no struggling in the "cold, groy dawn of the Winter's morn, in the vain effort to "enter into our desired haven," And oh wondrous joy! our dreams will never more be haunted by that horrible spectre an unwritten composition. Do you realize it you whose mathematical genius is not of the most dazzling order, and whose little tempers hare been spoiled, and whole heart made alok by geometry and trigonometry and other evils, that heroafter all the mathematics you will require will be just enough knowledge to compute a dressmaker's bill, (which may, however, be 8 very troablesome riddle to solve), and shall I venture the base suggestion -at some Very far away time, perhaps, to arrive at the cost of bread and cheese for two, Can any tongue express the deep and overwhelming joy whioh thrills our being at the thought that we can NOW say "Farewell, long farewell to all Hons." But, after all, what happy times we bave had, plodding up the hill of knowledge together. There was, to ba sure, sighing at examination times, when it was discovered "a little learning 1788 8 dangerous thing." What a happy, prosperous year this has been for our dear "Alma Mater 115 We have, to be sure, felt deeply the absence of our beloved Professor, but, when we reflect, that our lose de his gain," we no We, trust that in the Fall, we shall see his genial face again, listen with delight to the story of his wanderings by sea and shore, But, alas I there has gone out from our midst this year, a dear countenance which we shall never mora 800 on earth, the face of her. whose last hours of life ware spent in self sacrificing, loving toll for us. the unworthy dear children of her to care, Ab, may' we be inspired by her? example faithful, earnest Asbor, and may not' be in vain to us, that we have been permitted to enjoy the sweet ministry" of her teachings; but may we all be stronger, nobler women, mora carnestly conten; for the right, a joy and a light to all around us.

And, DOW, A8 we are leaving the dear old hom, to take our active part in the busy world, we would simply say with Ting Tm God bleas us, every one At the conclusion of the history which was received with decided manifestations of approval Miss Lyon proceeded to deliver an oration of rare ability in effort and sobievement. A humorous poem called Brains was then read by Miss Julla Sedgwick, in which the fourtains of knowledge were happily referred to. An Essay by Miss Beare on "The Girls" evinced a very keen power of analy de cod a nimble art. A parody on Anthony's oration over the body of Casar, by Miss Ella Williams excited much merriment, The parody was delivered to the dead studies or rather abandoned books of the class, and in the burlesquing of the Roman orator's pathos and deep emotion, Miss WilHams showed herself possessed of very decided dramatio ability. Miss Emma Walker amused the clasa not a littie by assuming the role of prophet and foretelling all mannor of pleasant but lightly impossiblo things concerning the young ladies present, The literary part of the entertainment closed by the reading of the following poem by Mias Louisa Peer: IVY POEM.

We've traveled through lite's bright morn, It's beauties together seen, Neath akies making light our paths, And smiling with friendly beam. Together we've plucked the flowers That blossomed in learning's beds. Though many, tis true, we've dropped Which should have adorned our heads. Perhape it la all for the best; Much learning might make us vain; And should we be over wise, We might be supposed insano. The joys we've together shared, E'en the trials we have found, With sympathy true and strong, Our hearta have in friendship bound.

The time for parting draws near, Broad highways ous paths become, And diverging in the future dim, Perchance fill the setting sun, As emblam of friendship true, Which timo will not change I ween, An unfading we'll plant To keep our remembrance green, Come, sisters, In Pooker's shade We'll give it a place to grow. The garden shall be its homo. And friends will you wita us go? At this roint the class went out to the garden planted the ivy, and then the following concluding es of the poem were read: Hall! thou Iry, Let your after Symboling the Of the class of never changing! mission be dear union $73. As these parting membera ever Keep their memory green, Changing though be fortune's favor, And each other be not seen; So may your bright leavc8, Ivy, In your trining vine as one, Keep as green through frost and anow storm As 'neath Summer's smiling sun, May the sunshine and the shower Make you strong to clim and cleava, May the breeze with gentle whisper Woo you, and its blessing leu Sinters, may our Joys and sorrows Make us strong our race to run; Till the lips of shining augels Greet us with the words "Well dona." This terminated tho literary exercises, and the olosa then proceeded to partake of a generous collation. Altogether the reception was a great success, It 1a only proper to state in this connection that the efficient teacher of composition, under whom tho clues has made suol antisfuctory Frogress, is Miss Louisa Both-Hen- dricksen.

HEIGHT'S SEMINARY. A brilliant gathering at the Twenty-second Aunual Commencement of the Brooklyn Heights Sominary, on Montague street, between Clinton and Heury strcets, took place last evening. The exercises were announced to begin at eight o'clock, but as carly as quarter after seven o'clock the peoplo began to assemble long lincs of carriages from opposito directions drove up before the door, and deposited the patrons of the institution, This continued until eight o'clock, when tua chapel and hallways of the Seminary were literally jammed.

Then came the chorus, "Come, Merry Maidens," by tho school. Currie T. Sutherland' essay, "Old Maids and Mothers." afforded considerable amucement, and was loudly Brplauded. Mr. a piano solo, "Invitation" was good, Kittie V.

Following the latter, came the awarding of the diplomas, by Professor West, the Principal of the Semnary, after which the graduates gathered around him, and sang the following GRADUATES' FAREWELL. The white robed early months have passed In allence from the year, Their softly whispered promise edemed Too faint for us to hear. But Spring with life of bird and brook, New moon and sunlit day, Has offered bude, has aung of fruit, From March to laughing May. The promise then was clearly given, The skies were arched with blue, And if the drops oft fell in showers, Fair rainbows glistened through. And now in June the opening flower Delights our wistful eyes, While in each blossom shyly borne, The coming harvest llos.

LOCAL BREVITIES. The most thriving business, apparently, in the Eastern Distriot, especially in the vicinity of the ferHea foot of Broadway, is that of retailing beer and other stimulating beverages.

On the block from Firat to Second street there are close upon a dozen, and yet another has just been opened in the same locality. Nor is there any soeming lack of oustomers in this branch of unproductive industry; consequently it must bo inferred that passengers by the ferries are a peculiarly thirety set of people. Two accidents occurred in the Eastern District to-day, one being the fall of a child from a window and the other case that of a laborer injured while at his occupation, Obarles Gepler, a child scarcely more than two years old, whoso parents livo at No. 115 Bushwiok avenue, tumbled from a two atory window and escaped without broken bones. Its injuries, if at all serious, are Internal, 80 Dr.

Wittman says, The other casualty happened to a laborer on the Oity Railroad, named Patriok Cunningham, who, while engaged in breaking a rati, was struck by a plece of the iron and sovorely out on tho head and leg. Dr. Brady sent the man to his home after treatment at the Fourth street station. A friendly game of base ball which occurcurred yesterday at the Capitoline Grounds, between nines selcoted from the Third and Sixth Precinots rospectively, was not heightened in interest or respeotability by the attendance of a number of loud mouthed and abusive individuals.

APAMY'S RI PORT.

THE WALLABOUT BRIDGE. The Mayor received the following communication from Engineer Adams to-day: OFFICE CHIEF ENGINEER, Brooklyn 19, 1873. Hon, S. S. Powell, Mayor, City of Brooklyn: your request I have examined the Wallabont bridge on Washington condition.

avenue, and beg leave to report in reference to its The bridge was opened for travel in the Summer of 1889, and has boon subjoctod to very harsh treatment, such as no bridge da designed to meet. Vessels heavily Jooaded passing through the basin use the end of the draw, before it la fully opened, as a snubbing post to check their way. This is constantly done, and It la a matter of ourprise that the bridgo has not been injured beyond remedy, whereas, with ail the abuse the draw has under. gone, the turning gear alone has suffered, while thy bridge is in as good the condition as when built, It la idle to repair turning gear. The principle adopted is unsuited to meet the treatment which it seems 19 unavoidable in this locality.

Repaira have from time to time been made, but this method of patching does not reach to the source of the trouble, and I should recommend that an entire new turning gear be substituted for the present one. This will cont between Ave and six thousand dollars, but will thoroughly mcet the wants of the case in my Judgment. It will be necessary to turn off the street travel for say tea days, leaving the basin open for nsvigation. JULIUS W. ADAMS.

The Mayor will send the foregoing to the Wallabout Commissioners, as the bridge is in their charge, and 'quest them to have the necessary repairs made. The liabilities of the firm of 8. R. MoLean Pittsburg, bankers, which suspendod a day or tiro ago, cannot be fully nevertained. It is alleged that the depoeitors' acoonnta will reach 380,000, the rest being divided among banks and bankers.

The absata are conaiderably in excess of the labilities, and It 18 thought an amicable settlement will be made at au early day, A NEPHEW'S REVENGE. How His Uncle Went for Hint With a Bazor. To-day, shortly after twelve o'clook, a dark, black eyed man, evidently a Cuban or Spaniard, emerging from the cool obscurity of the Post Office almost ran upon a young, beardlesa fellow, fashionably dressed, who was passing by. At eight of this young man he of the dark face biased out a polysyllabio Spanish oath, and sprang like a tiger on the other party to the recontre. the young man wavered a minute and then ran like deer, hotly pursued by him of the Oriental complexion.

The crowd, utterly ignorant of the cause. or meaning of this chase, joined in the hue and cry. Half a block was passed by the fugitive and his pursuer before the former toll into the latter's hands, THE OUBAN OR SPANIARD all the time waving in the air a large envelope, on which some writing was very viable. The young man was John Lindeman, a reporter for the Banday Press, and the Ouban was Fernando Dor, a well known vender of Havana cigars on Fulton street. The letter which was so conspicuous was a very insulting and offensive one, and it was because Dor thought that Lindeman had written it that Lindeman was 80 swiftly pursued by Dor.

When the two had struggled for a moment or two, with a gaping crowd looking on to Bee murder done, Linderman fore himself from Dor's angry clutch and made for home in good time, vowing all the while that Dor had drawn a razor and had threatened to disembowel him. Dor gave up the chase and returned to his atore, Meanwhile Lindermau sought protection of Judge Morse, and Dor was arrested on charge of feloniou3 assault. Mr. Kuhn appeared for Dor, and Mr. Mark Antonio Barrett for Linderman, The casa W88 by mutual consent adjeurned until Monday next, Dor being bound over to keep the peace in the gum of $500, Mr.

White, the calder of the Union, providing the necessary security. The explanation of this castilian scene on the streets of Brooklyn seem to be that Dor has for soma time been paying attention to a young and lovely aunt of Lindeman. The latter OBJECTED VERY MUCH to big efforts to become momber of the Lindeman family, and Dor asserts has been diligently persecuting the unfortunate Ouban with all manner of torments. Dor looks a very dangerous character, and it evidently behooves Mr. Lineman to be more cautious in his dealinge with his Cuban adversary, of be may perchance, at no remote period, afford the surgeons an interesting lustration of peritonitis.

It la- reported that Dor is already Lindeman's uncle, and that a secret marriaga has been arraigned between the young lady and her lover, Mr. Dor is evidently a man of his word, and unless Lindeman emigrates there will be one nephew less in his new family. The successful termination of the case will depend on Mr. Marous Antonio Barrett, whose new white hat Was the cynoseur of all eyes. It was with evident that Mr.

Maro Antonio Barrett conformed enough to the prejudices of the court to ramovehis new hat, out of which fell by accident apparently, a bill addressed to Marcus Ocoero Barrett, a person with whom Mr. Marcau8 Capius Brutus Barrett claims no acquaintance. The white hat is whispered to be one of Knox's costliest. MONEY MARKET. Cold 115 1-2 and Weakening Active Stock Market and Shrinkage i in Values.

WALL STREET, June 19, 3 P. M. The conviction that gold would sell lower befora the close of the weck, scems to bid fair to be realized, There are no longer any strong parties who have an interest in sustaining the market, and all talk of new pools, is belleved to be absurd. The most is made of the now stale story that the Bank of England is about to increase its circulation COD and of the fact that affairs in Vienna are far from In a gettled condition, but the fact stands out above all that tho Treasury disbursements of the 1st of July will tend to break the pre down about per cont. unlees something now unforseen should occur abroad to change the situation.

The Gould pool has, as stated yesterday, worked out of nearly all the gold they were carrying that was available and in the operation havo scored up beavy against themselves. It would not be surprising, under the circumstance, if the movement in stocks yesterday afternoon and to-day could be directly traced to the leader of the late bull combination in gold, Mail advices from Europo show that the late advance in the Bank of England discount rate was made for the purpose of drawing gold from here, It failed because just at that time the troubles in Vienna and the continent had made a market abroad for American securities, in preference to the wild cat staff which was floating around on the European houses, and the German bonkers here bought with ovidity and sent them abroad, thus making exchange which kept the sterling rate here below the shipping point. The caloulotions of the bull clique in gold were upset, and they soon found that instead of the gold being drained from this side, they were obliged to provide far several millions more than they had estimated. The next time they try it on they will endeavor to be mora certain of their mark, The parties in control of Pacino Mail are seeking to give the impression that the company can be extricated from their present financial embarrasamont by a loan upon the steamship property. It is stated that in order to effect this, they must borrow on a bottomry bond, which will necessitate the payment of about 20 per cent.

interest, and the earnings of the Line will not warrant this. It may be a matter of surprise to some that the Pacific Mail stock should be selling for as much as it is now, considering the almost valueless character of the company's property. The reason is that the stock is controlled by a clique who are laboring to induce a short interest sufficient to make a corner feagible at some time not far distant. Thus far speculators who indulged in the luxury of short gales do so at financial peril, and are warned by their brokers of the risk they run. The lowest point touched by the stock to-day WAS 233 or 1 1 1 14 below the best price of the day.

The Union speciation is based upon the illness of President Clark. It is ascertained this afternoon that he is not so dangerously ill as has been represented. Even if he should die It is. difficult to see why Union Pacino stock should be worth any less for speculative purpose than it has been. The lowest point touched to-day 233, and there was a sharp recovery after that.

Lake Shore has not been affected by the Illness of Mr. Clark, though it la whispered that should he die the dividend now falling due might be passed. The break in the two stocks above named was made the basis for the decline in Ohio to 37; 0. 0. 0.

to St. Paul to Central to and Western Union to Northwest common was rather more than usually active to-day, in consequence of the meetof the directors. It was reported that a dividend would be declared on the common and preferred stock, but the report is not confirmed. If It had any foundation the stock would have been quite active and strong during the afternoon. The bids for the Treasury gold to-day amounted to $4,210,000, and the award of $2,000,000 was made at prices ranging from 115.76 to 116.88%.

There was not much strife for the gold, and no large bids. Exchange is weaker in tone this afternoon, though tho rate is unchanged. The shipment of to-day consisted of about $130,000 in silver bars. Some late borrowers of money yesterday afternoon were surprised at being obliged to poy 6 per cent, on call, but to-day the rate has ranged quite steady at 4 per cent.

Attorneys, Jell 8w COURT INTELLIGENCE. The Forfeiture of Fanny Hyde's Recognizance Remitted. Decision of the Crocs Will Controversy by Surrogate Veeder Tho Madden Case Also Decided--The Old Man Held to Have Been Incompetent Make a Will -The Grand Jury Discharged, Last week an application was made to Judge Moore, in the County Court, by Henry O. Place, to remit the forfeiture of the recognizance of Fanny Hyde. It will be remembered that after her first trial she was admitted to bail, and when she was called upon Lust February to undergo her second trial, she falled to put in an appearance.

At that time bor recognizance wan forfeited, and a suit was commenced to recover the amount of the bail, $2,500, from the sureties. She wag afterward found in Washington, arrested and brought to this city, and la now in Raymond street Jall. Judge Mcore this morning rendered the following decicion 4 On payment of the amount of $70, which was necessarily expeaded by the county in procuring the arest and return to this county of the prisoner, and on complying with such order as may be made by the City Court with regard to costs, an order may be entered remitting the forfeiture of the recognizance." It was understood that 8. Morris, who was the conusel for Mrs. Hyde upon her trial, bad indemnifled her bail, but Mr.

Place stated upon the application to remit the forfeiture that he made the application for he bonds.men and not on behalf of Mr. Morria. and vert- The Croes Will Case. The celebrated Oroes will case, (involving about $15,000) before the Surrogate's Court of Kings County since 1869, and three or four times" aince then fully detailed in the EAGLE bay at last been decided. The following is the text of Judge Veeder's decision today handed in.

In the matter of probate of the will of Eleanor V. Croes, deceased. The testatrix was an old lady and for many years bad been confined to the house or at least seldom want out. Her constant companion aud attendant was her daughter Anna, the legateo under the will offered for probate. A great amount of testimony has been taken but the counsel on their argument bave narrowed the case down to the simple gucation, Had tho testatrix testamentary capacity at the time she made this will The witnesses to the will, Mesers, Williams and Wardell, who also drew tha will, are positive in their assertion that Mrs.

Croes, when abe executed the will, WAS seeded of a competent and rational mind. She gave them the Instructions how abo wished the will drawn, and from the evidence of these persons it appeara she comprehended the act sho was engaged in. That the testatrix was partial, and omitted. proper objects of her bounty from the provisions of har wilL may be true, yet this is not of itself evidence of an Irrational mind, or sufficient reason why wa should refuse probate of such a will, We may not know all the circumstances whieh governed her in thus preferring one daughter to the oxclusion of all the other children. The principal opponent is well situated, and was not in need of her mother's a8- eistance, besides a coldness had sprung up between them, and for a long time ebe had not visited her mother.

The amount of the property 19 not large, and Mra. Croes did not consider it of n8 great value as it is now believed to be. Anna merited the preference her mother has shown her, for she hag served her mother constantly and faithfully for many years. She set her face against all opportunities for ber own personal happiness and devoted her life to her mother. True the testatrix was a very singular person and much of her conduct and many of her habits are such 88 we observe in persons of weak or disordered minds.

I cannot but believe she was on the subject of religion very eccentric; on the main question which we only daro to consider, I ba 1 ve ahe was posscased of autic. eat iLtelligence to deviso her property. She has done nothing unnatural in maldng this will, she has provided for her beat friends, for her supporter and comforter in those many many yeara of trial and suffering through which she paased. The chief objector had treated her as a rational being, bad held her responsible for her debte, had accepted ber rower of attorney, and conveyed away under this 81- thority a portion of her property. He had prepared and caused to be executed a former will, which he tells us was only done to secure AD equal distribution.

Where was the necessity for any will to make equal distribution Does not the law in case of intestacy distribute equally the effects of the intestate The testimony of the medical experts called by the contestants la based upon a hypothesis which the proof in this case does not establish. The case is by no means free from doubt. Croes WEB very feeble minded and took no part in or even charge of the ordinary affairs of life, she was treated and by all her family conaidered a person requiring attention and advice. She was in that condition mentally and that made it essy for any one so disposed to her, but no such question is raised in this case. However I believe the testatriz when shy ex his will comprehended its provisions, and that har hen mental condition warrants we in considering it as her rational act.

Probate of this will must therefore be made, William Madden's Will. William Madden, who died March 20, 1872, left a will involving about $37,000, The will was contested by his son, John Madden, on the ground of incompetency.

Surrogato Veeder this morning decided that the testator at the time of making the same was incompetent to exeouta a will, and therefore that the will is null and roid. Stealing Old Irou.
