Yesterday afternoon a villainous looking fellow named William Delaney was arraigned before Alderman Carpenter on the charge of murder.

He was a large man, with reddish hair, cut short, light blue eyes with a peculiarly sharp look. He was heavily ironed, and looked like one of the most desperate scoundrels alive. It seems that on the 25th of last August this man, William Delaney, shipped as mate of the schooner Joseph E. Potts, Captain L. Lawrence, coal laden, at Port Johnson, Long Island, with Augustus F.

Tuthill and another youth. The schooner was towed down the Narrows, and while beating about Cow bay, on the afternoon of August 27, Delaney went into the cabin and bucked and gagged Captain Lawrence, who was an elderly man, and robbed him of $10 In money and a revolver. Delaney then called Tuthill and the other lad and told them to lower the boat and row him ashore and bade them to keep quiet forever about the robbery or he would kill them. The lads rowed Delaney ashore and went back to the schooner, where they found Csptain Lawrencedead in the cabin, bis face covered with blood and the gag still in his mouth. They also observed that Delaney had evidently choked the captain with his hand, as his throat had black and blue marks upon it.

Tuthill and his shipmate next went ashore and lodged information with the authorities, who had a description of the murderer published. Delaney, after the murder, shipped on another vessel and came to Port Richmond, and on the night of the 1st of September landed and went on a spree with a shipmate named James Donahue. At Bichmond street and Lehigh avenue they came across a man named John Morgan, and observing that he was well dressed they knocked him down and robbtd him of a gold watch and chain and about $40 in money. Morgan gave the alarm, and Officer Flood arrested Delaney and Donahue. As he was being taken to the station house Delaney ran into the house of one John Clavey at Bichmond and Clearfield streets, and left a revolver.

Delaney was afterwards captured, and the two men were committed to prison to answer the charge of highway robbery. On Saturday last the case came up before the grand jury, and Mr. Morgan identified Donahue as the man who struck him, hut be could not identity Delaney, so a true bill was rendered in Donahue's case, but the bill against Delaney as an accessory was ignored. Yesterday Delaney was to have been released, but the Chief of Police promptly lodged a retainer against him, in the shape of a war rant from the Coroner of Queen's county, New York, charging him with murder. In the meantime Delaney was Kept in the court oock wnue awaiting tne arrival of officers from Long Island.

Last Wednesday Lieu tenant tester, ot tne lwentv iourtn ponce district. saw in the Record of this city a description of the India ink marks on the Cow bay murderer's arms, and he went down to pnson, and found those on De laney 's arms to be in exact accordance with the description. He then informed Captain Heins of the discovery. This official visited a person who had seen the highway robbery, and learned from bim that Delaney had left a pistol with Mr. Clavey.

To Clavey be went and got the weapon, and it proved to De tue revolver tnat Delaney had stolen from Captain Lawrence, his victim in Cow bay. Then the citizen said that Delaney had told him that he had shot a man with that pistol in Cow bay, near Fort bcbuyler, iw rork. All ol these tacts were tele graphed by Chief Jones to the State's attorney of uueen county, jm. ano tnat omcial was reauested to send on an officer to identify and take Delaney in custody. Yesterday afternoon Officers J.

W. Smith and Frederick Schmidt arrived from Port Johnson with young Tuthill, and the prisoner was arraigned at the Central Station for a hearing. Augustus Tuthill, the boy, gave his testimony, fully identifying the prisoner as tne muraerer. ais statement oi the circumstances is as follows When we came to anchor In the bav all persons on board were alive. On Wednesday Captain Lawrence BhtDoeii a mate ai rorcjonnsou, me name oi wiiom noneoi us out the cap lain knew.

I called the captain to supper. He camo down into the cabin and I went forward. I soon heard a noise as though a man was choking. It appeared to come from the cabin. It soon stopped, but I soon heard it again.

1 then went aft. I was alarmed I was afraid of the mate, as he had stolen the captain's pistol the first day he came on bjard. When I got art I looked in the cabin, and saw the mate have the captain on the floor. He had him partly down and whs putting a gag into his mouth. I then attempted to go into the cabin, when the mate pulled a pistol from his pocket, and presenting it at me, said: "You go on deck and keep still, you boy.

If you don't I'll shoot you." Beinfr afraid he would shoot, I weut on deck. I was so frightened that I did not know what to do, and feared to give an alarm, as the mate said if I alarmed the other sehoouers he would shoot me. I heard no further noise as I went fonvard. The mate soon afterwards came on deck and told me to go aft and get Into the boat. The boat was at the davits.

I asked him what he was going to do with me. said he wanted me to set him ashore. I told him I didn't want to get into the boat, as I was afraid. I and Charles I''. Harris then got into the boat and took him ashore on the west side of King's Point.

While taking him ashore he ordered to row farter, aud took hold of the oar himself and tuphed, laying the pistol by his side, pointed toward us. We eft him ashore and came back on board of another schooner that lay at anchor near us. After we left him ashore we saw him go in another boat and run ofT westward. When I got on the other schooner I told the captain and mate that the mate of our vessel had robbed the captain and gone ashore, aud asked them to come aboard of our vessel. They did so.

We all went into the cabin, and I saw Captain Lawrence lying inside the stateroom, after they had cut theropjs that fastened the door. I then came out on deck aud waited until they came out. They said he was dead. Alderman Carpenter asked the prisoner if he had any regular business, and he said he was a waterman and had been a seaman on board the schooner Carrie Belle, and that he belonged to New Haven, Conn. He bad shipped on another schooner, but did not recollect her name or the name of her captain.

He did not remember the names of "Joseph E. Potts" or Captain L. Lawrence. The prisoner was then asked if he was willing to return to New York without a requisition and be said be was. Tbe New York officers then took charge of Delaney, and he was taken at once to New York, and will be placed in the Queen's county jail.

The telegraph announces that he has already beeu indicted. THE BALL FIELD. A Close Game Between tbe Shlbe and Philadelphia Yesterday. The strong amateur Shine Club yesterday afternoon met the professional Philadelphia, at Twenty fifth and Jefferson streets, and came very near defeating tbem, as the Quakers played a listless sort of game, seemingly desirous of allowing the amateurs to make as many runs as possible, and defeat those who had been betting on a one iuning victory. The amtteur hit Zettlein quito lively, and when Reynolds opened the ninth inning with a splendid three base hit it looked as though they would hit him to some purpose; but Beyuolds spoiled the chances for doing anything by foolishly attempting to run in on Creamer's weak hit to short it was foolish from the fact of there being no one out, and Lutz's hit would Lave brought him home, and a safe hit might possibly have sent Lutz around, which would have tied the game.

They played generally a good game, the most notable features being the play of Fowser at first, Pfeffer at third and Reynolds at second. Cxms pitched, and his round arm throw bothered the professionals considerably. The best batting was done by Reynolds. In the first inning Addy, in attempting to steal second, sprained his ankle so badly that he was forced to retire, and Sha fer supplied his place. The Shibe scored in thesecond inning off safe hits of Tiiniiiiiis and Williamson, with a scratch hit of Pfeffer, tbe ball striking Timmins aud bounding out of McGeary's reach; in the third off errors of Human and MuQeary, and in the fifth off a one base hit and a couple of bad errors.

Three base hits with a bad throw gave the Quakers one in the first inning; a base bit of Treacy and a passed ball of Williamson one in the third; an error of Timmins and a wild pitch one in the fourth; an error of Reynolds, with another wild pitch, one in the sixth; a single by Zettlein and a double by McMullin, one in tbe seventh. Mr. Sutton, of the Athletic, satisfactorily filled the position of umpire. The score was as follows: rHii.inii.PHu. a.

But we will go into tne tacts oi tnat case hereafter, and show why this man Cattell should be dismissed." I hope Mr. Barlow will be permitted to relieve himself now of a full statement of the entire case," said Mr.

Taylor. I will take mv own time for that," replied Mr. Barlow. I did av that Mr. Cattell shall have justice." added Mr.

Taylor. "Ha! ha! ha!" cried Mr. Bumm. "Does the eentleman mean to insult me?" asked Mr. Taylor.

"I dosav that this man shall have justice. Mr. Bumm is a member of the committee, and he can see that he has justice." "Ha ha ha again cried Mr. Bumm. "You have all the charges and all the evidence in your coat pocket," said Mr.

Barlow. "Mr. Barlow is anxions to get before the public," Baid Mr. Duff. "Ha sat in that committee by courtesy, and he is now taking the opportunity because the reporters are present to cause the public to believe that the committee is not doing justice to this man." "There have been many things at the House I am ashamed of," replied Mr.

Barlow; but I was not present at the first meeting of the committee on the charges against Mr. Cattell. I first knew of the meeting by seeing its procedings published in Thk Times. It wasa clandestine meeting, yet I say now that every thingthat was published about it in Tea Tim ss was true. At the second meeting I was present, and at the third meeting.

There is a whole lot behind all this. You bad better (addressing the members of the board) have done what you agreed to do three weeks ago, dieniiss the superintendent, and prove your integrity." "I wish to state," replied Mr. Taylor, that Mr. Barlow was present at all the meetings of the committee, and at the first meeting. Why, you're crazy," interrupted Mr.

Barlow. "I was not present at the first meeting," said Mr. Bumm. You were," answered Mr, Taylor. The question was then taken upon the motion to reinstate Mr.

Gibbons, which was lost: Ayes Barlo and Bumm; Nays Duff, Taylor, Fry and Kilpatrick, I now move to amend," said Mr. Bumm, "by providing that the committeee sit with open doors." Last by a tie vote: Yeas Barlow, Bumm and Taylor; Nays Duff, Fry and Kilpatrick. I now move," said Mr. Barlow, that when the board adjourns it be to meet on Monday next, and that the committee on House be instructed to report then all the charges against Mr. Gibbons, and all the charges and evidence against Mr.

Cattell." I move to amend," said Mr. Duff, to meet at the call of the president." "We have had too much of that in Philadelphia already," replied Mr. Barlow "1 would ask the chairman of the committee on House whether he has finished examining all the witnesses in the Cattell case?" "That will be in my report," answered Mr. Taylor. "I am afraid of the reporters because they don't always confine themselves strictly to the truth," said Mr.

Fry "some are gentlemen, I know, but the institution has been misrepresented by reporters of some of the newspapers." Well, I am not afraid of the reporters," replied Mr. Bumm; "my experience has been that they speak the truth too often for some people. I think the committee on House should sit night and day until they get through. It is time now that (he public should know all about the Cattell investigation. I think that the committee has kept things secret long enough.

This is a very terious matter charges have been brought against Mr. Cattell and Mr. Gibbons; all the town will be in arms to morrow after reading the report of this meeting in tbe morning papers, and let us sit day and night to end it if necessary. I am willing todo so. There is a good deal to hatch and a good deal thatdou't need hatching." "I am willing to have a meeting on next Monday," said Mr.

Taylor; "if I can get the re pott ready by that time I will." "I want the public to know exactly where we stand," said Mr. Bumm, "and not to keep anything back." "They have got through with the Cattell business," said Mr. Barlow. "I will work day and night to have the report ready by the next meeting," said Mr. Taylor, ''i am here to do my duly." said Mr.

Bumm, "and not for Buncombe." Mr. Taylor here made a disparaging remark. Its the first time Mr. Taylor hss been in public life," apologized Mr. Barlow, "and he don't know any better." The meeting then adjourned.

A TRAGEDY BEHIND THE SCENES. A Boy Actor Accidentally Shot In an Up Town Amateur Theatre. Coroner Goddard held an inquest yesterday in the case of the boy, Samuel Stroup, who was shot in a barn at Gillinger's brickyard, at Nineteenth street and Allegheny avenue, on Saturday evening. The testimony showed that Stroup was one of the actors in an amateur theatrical company, in which William Wise, 11 years old, and William and Edward Evans, sped 18 and 16 years, were also interested. An unloaded gun was used in the play, and at the close of the Saturday evening performance young Stroup was standing outside the bam, and one of the Evans handed little Willie Wise the gun, pointed the gun and Willie pulled the trigger.

Stroup fell, without a cry, shot through the head. An effort was made to remove the wounded lad to St. Joseph's Hospital, but lie died on the way, and his body was taken to the Twenty second District station house. Young Wise was arrested, but the larger boys were allowed" to go free. The jury rendered a verdict that Samuel Stroup came to his death from the shot of a gun iu the hands of William Wise.

Tbs Officer of tb Workhouse who Brought the Charge Agralnet the Superintendent Suspended. BARLOW AND BCMM EXPOSE THB SOHEUB. The Board of Managers of the House of Correction wet yesterday afternoon at tbeir rooms on Sixth street, in pursuance of an adjournment of the regular stated meeting held on the 6th instant.

To say that yesterday's was a lively meeting would be drawing it exceedingly mild the dignity of what sbould be a graye public body being utterly lost in the accusations, counter accusations, denials and cutting flings that irere freely bandied back and forth from almost the moment when tbe president, Kilpatrick, took his seat. There were present Messrs. Kilpatrick, umm, Barlow, Fry, Duff and Taylor, Messrs. Bumm and Barlow lighting a battle continually against the remaining four. A communication from John Eckstein, clerk of ConjHion Council, informing the managers that the Council Committee on the House of Correction would meet them to day at 12 M.

at the Kensington depot, having been read, the president submitted the resignation of It. McClermont, captain of tbe guard. This, however, setting forth that it was to take effect on the 1st of October, with leave of absence until that time, Mr. Barlow said that this was in substance agreeing to tbe request of the board that McClermont should resign, but with an evident design to obtain pay until the 1st of Octo ber. He had been requested to resign because of his inefficiency and his misconduct as an officer, and he now moved that the resignation be accepted without granting the leave ot absence.

I Ins was agreed to. Mr. Barlow then submitted the estimate of the wharf builder for the erection offenders and ordinance pieces upon tbe long wharf at the Correction grounds, but the president stating that be understood that the coo tractor bad agreed to put them on in bis contract, the subject was reierred. Mr. Harlow then called tueatteiv tion of the board to the sending of supplies by steam boat instead of by the railroad, without the authority or knowledge of the committee on transportation.

Mr. Bumm said that this authority belonged to the committee and not to the president, the superintendent or tbe messenger: he did not oppose sending freight lor the House by the steamboat, indeed was atitiied that it was cheaper than the railroad: but he did find fault with the way the business was done. The subject was referred to the committtee on transportation. New business being in order Mr. Barlow said I want to ask a question of the president," and turning to Mr.

Kilpatrick, I want to know from you whether you have during the week suspended an offi cer of the institution, who it was, and what for, and when we know that" "I suspended Mr. (iibbons, interrupted the president. ''I move to refer the mat ter to the committee Mr. Taylor, "with instructions to investigate." am opposed," said Mr. Barlow, "to that motion; it is due to this man and the public that it should be known why he was suspended without the authority ot the superintendent or the board.

Mr. Gibbons has waited upon the president and asked why he was suspended, and could get no satisfaction, and respectfully demanded a hearing, and was told that it was doubtful whether he would liaveone." "I never said that," interrupted Mr. Kil can seejno reason, "said Mr Barlow," why this orhcer should be singled out lor destruction; be has always been heralded in this board as industrious, faith fiil and able by Mr. Cattell, and I am at a loss to know hat an officer who has been endorsed time and time again by not only Mr. Cattell, but by the late members of this board, could have done to be thus summarily dismissed." ''Is he dismissed?" asked Mr.

Taylor. "He has been suspended, and it is my official act," answered Mr. Kilpatrick. "I shall stand up for any officer of the institution who is wronged," continued Mr. Barlow.

"This man has a character. I am beartily willing to acknowielge the authority of the supeiintendeut to suspend. But suppose, Mr. President, you choose to suspend the superintendent or the assistant superintendent and refuse to state your reasons, and then have your action referred to the committee on House. It is due from you to the board that you sbould say whether Mr.

Gibbjns hai violated his trust or done anything wrong; you deny this information to him, you deny it to the managers, and you deny it to the public; if I were the president of this board I would have nerve enough to get up and state the reason of this summary proceeding." "I won'tdo it if vou talk all the afternoon," replied Mr. Kilpatrick. "This is no new thing," said Mr. Duff. "It has been the custom for a year and a half to suspend and refer the suspension to the committee on house, and it is for that committee to inquire into them." State one case here a man has been suspended and the reasons have not been given to the board," demanded Mr.

Barlow. "I am satisfied this has been done often," answered Mr. Duff the president or superintendent may suspend a man for good reason. They have fifty men suspended before this, and Mr. Barlow has said nothing about it." "This is a great wrong," added Mr.

Barlow. ''Mr. President," said Mr. Taylor, "I don't know anything about the suspension, except what you told me; as 1 understand it the superintendent suspended this man at your suggestion; all such cases have been always referred to the committee on house. I don't see why this case should be singled out at this time; I lo not know why this man was suspended, and don't want to know until it comes properly before the committee.

Mr. Barlow has branded this man before the public and called him before the board a 'boss Perhaps he didn't know that the man was of any account, then." "I must reply to my eloquent frrend," said Mr. Barlow. "He s.ys he didn't know Mr. Gibbons was suspended until after he Was suspended.

He knows all about it, all the particulars, and so dt "He does not know," interrupted Mr. Kilpatrick; "not a member of the board, except myself, knows anything about it." "I did say when he was put in that be was put in as a 'boss continued Mr. Barlow. Now if this man is to be suspended because he stood up and put in writing the damning charges against the superintendent (Cries of order I order in chorus by Messrs Fry, Duff and Taylor, and tbe president pounds on the table and calls Mr. Barlow to order, but he goes on.) This thing lias been cooking a long while," ae continued, "and it might as well boil over now.

We have Cattell's evidence, and the tviilei.ee of members of the board, that this man is intelligent, industrious and efficient, but because he has had the moral courage to bring to light the doings of the Superintendent of the Institution, and for that alone he is suspended. I am responsible for all 1 say; I am not now attacking Mr. Cattell; when that comes up wo will all have enough to say." "I don't think it is right to bring Mr. Cattell in," said President Kilpatrick. "He knew nothing about it until I suspended him." "But it pleased him mightily," added Mr.

Barlow. "Now, as to the motion to refer the matter to the committee, I say, Mr. President, knowing, as you do, all the workings of the institution, it is yeur duty to tell the board and the public why you suspended the man. You said before the committee with emphasis, striking your fist on the table Order," cried the president; "tbe gentleman must come to order." "The matter should not go to the committee on House," continued Mr. Barlow; "but it is all fixed; he will not get a hearing here, but I am determined he shall have a hearing before the public.

You, Mr. President, when Mr. Oliver came to the House, put Gibbons' hand in his and said, 'Mr. Oliver, this is a man you can depend Why keep the information why this man is discharged back? What has he done? I ask the president to lay this matter before the board, and if all that Mr. Gibbons has done is to have had the moral courage to expose brutality and villainy he should be sustained." I am determined to bring this matter before the committee on House," said President Kilpatrick.

I thought it a question to be decided in the manner I have. If the committee see fit to reinstate him I shall not oppose it." Mr. Dulf said there might have been cause for the suspension. It was not the first time supposed good men had been found unworthy. Guards had been suspended and dismissed for getting drunk, sleeping when on duty and allowing prisoners to escape.

Mr. Barlow's plan of getting matter before the public, as he has today," continued Mr. Duff, "ought to bs rebuked." So far as I know, there is no serious charge against Mr. Gibbons," said Mr. Bumm; "why, therefore, should he be suspended? In my opinion, he should be reinstated and continue on duty until the charges are considered.

I don't think tbe man has been properly dealt with, and I move to amend the motion to refer by inserting instead that Mr. Gibbons be reinstated. The usual custom," interrupted Mr. Taylor, "is, that if a man does anything in the House worthy of suspension he is suspended, the case referred to the committee on the House and their action reported to the board. "All I know," continued Mr.

Duff, "is that Mr. Gibbons lias been suspended; as to anything else about the matter I am entirely in the dark. I am, however, always willing to support the president until I am satisfied lie is wrong." "Mr. President," said Mr. Bar low, "I hardly recognize your power to suspend the man without your first consulting the board, but he should not be reinstated new.

I don't know whether tbe investigation into the charges against the superintendent have been finished, and I regard your action, Mr. President, as a vindictive way todisuiUi the prin oipal witness pending the investigation against Mr. Caltell. Mr. Gibbons did not insult yon indeed, he waited on you to ascertain what he had done to cause, yon to supeiid him, and you gave him no satisfaction." "Yon don't know whether he insulted me or not," replied the president.

"Mr. Gibbons stands in a very peculiar position," continued Mr. Bar low is no not an erdinary witness nor an ordinary man. He is the man whe brought the accusations against Mr. Cattell, and had the intelligence and ability to bring tkeru.

Yet I rind that the man against whom ikes charges wjre brought is still in office. Mr. Gibbons is suspended and the committee on tbe charges igainst Mr. Cattell keep the rsult of their lahers fwni Che public. 1 think, Mr.

President, yon have deiie a great wreng, no mat ter what Mr. Gibbons might have written tb you. You tww smile, but the superintended don't own me. If you are nSt iimfled in disnijwiiig this man fee publio fUuld know it, and Hie pulfiio shall knew all. it 14 2 Fowser, 1st 0 12 0 12 1 Reynolds, 2d 0 2 2 1 1 Creamer, a.
