PHARISEEISM A NOISY NIGHT doared Imn in tho memory of all in the service of that branch of tho government, and will cause him to live long in their thoughts as a faithful and honorablo public servant and patriot. Even in his treatment of thoso measures of party upon which he at fcimos differed from his party associates, tho most uncharitable among us will not gaiiiHay but that ho was always actuated by convictions of the utmost honesty and patriotism. A braver and more intrepid character will not soon again be seen by tho country and history will surely rooord as one of tho greatest men of his period the honored name of Samuel J. Randall. As a manifestation of our regard for his noble Democratic character and our sympathy ovor his untimely death, wo sproad this memorial in fall upon the minutes of this club.

friends rushed pell mell out of tho building. During the latter proceedings the proprietor of the hall attempto 1 to turn oif the gas aiid would havo carried out his intentions but for tho interference of several of those present. Kcgnlar Committed! Appointed Su the First lYaril. In tho absence of tho president, A. G.

McDonald presided at the meoting of the First Ward Republican Association last night, and J. M. Williams rocorded. Tho following committees wore announced: Coinmitteoon Nominations Theodore B. WilliB, F.

H. Williams, Franklin Woodruff, T. G. Wilder, George H. Itobcrta and John W.

Chapman. The report of the committeo on re enrollment of tho Republicans in tho ward, recommending that names be dropped from the roll, wasadoptod. Theodore S. Wilder offered resolution recommending that the uaniCH of live men, who were on the roll book of tho First Ward Kepublican Association, but who had voted at Ihe last Democratic primary, be stricken irom tho list. Mr.

Laidlaw opposed the resolution, particularly in that it referred to a Mr. Mnldoon, who, he said, was a member in ffood slanding or the Republican Association. Mr. il.lor resolution was passed, as amended by Mr. Laidlaw in lowed to go on uninvestigated much longer the very stones would cry out.

Ho thought it vorv necessary that every association in tho city Bho'uld pass resolutions condemning the action of tho delegates to tho General Committeo. If a now party wore organized the old party would never bo heard of again. 0. H. Jadwin Daggett is the man who has made all this trouble by his infernal mannvermg.

There is a certain clique that Micks by him and those are the men who talk of organizing a new party. Ho started tho Bcandal in tho General Committee. I don't seo any reason to lay the blame on tho whole partj President Harrison is doing his host, I am sure. The best way to do would bo recall our delegates to the General Committee. Lot every association do that and we would have no General Committeo.

Wo could then select new delegates. Chairman Berry Wo cannot recall our delegates. Thev havo boon olected for a certain term. Ex Supervisor John H. Read The actions of tho General Committeo rinco January 1 are such that I will not attend another mooting unless I havo sorao guarantee that thn business will bo transacted squarely.

As for Mr. Piesidcnt Harrison uud other loadors doing their best, I wonld like to let Mr. Jadwin know'that thoro are more Democrats in the Navy Yard to day than there arc Republicans. Can Mr. Jadwin explain to me why it is that the Republicans are discharged and Democrats kopt there at work? Richard Wynkoop don't think there is any necessity to go any further to night unless it be to act in regard to tho recent scandals in tho General Committee.

Tho proper way would be to pass a resolution demanding an investi of the charges that havo been inado broadcast. John Montague 1 move that it is the ttenso of this meeting that we condemn tho action of tho General Committeo at its recent election of officers. The motion is not seconded. K. B.

Leech The trouble with the Repnbljean party is that it is too intelligent. Its intelligence prevents it from acknowledging a boss. Last Fall the Republican and Democratic primaries happened to bo held on the same day. At tho Republican primary over twelve hundred votes were east, while only thirty ballots ware placed in the Democratic box. Rut on election, day there was only a Biight dilterenee in the number of votes in favor of the Republican ticket.

If you want nnitv you must havo a first class boss; yot it is difficult to keep down intelligent men. Richard Wynkoop What is the resolution before trie meeting? Chairman Berry There is none. Aibou Man 1 will a resolution that the delegates of iho fteptibiican General Committeo bo requested to take such action as will relievo tho Republican party of the distrud which now rests upon it by reason of tho scandals in connection with the recent election of the president of the General Committee and restore confidence among Republicans in the management of party affairs by the General Committee. Also that a through personal friendship and not from the association. Mr.

Kennedy, also ono of the colored members, said that he was very forcibly reminded of the old saving, "Hlcsficd is tho man who expects nothing, for he shall not bo disappointo.1." He then wont on to say that tho grievance was only against the men who represented thoir side of the association, as they had not done their duty. Many of them had gotten their positions through personal friendship and not through the association, and thereby the proper representation from tho working members was restricted. "I had hoped," be went on, "that the men who were appointed would help their association, but I havo Been sadly disappointed. They are not doing what thoy should for us. Some years ago it was tlio common talk in this association that the colored votor could bo bought whenever desired.

We got together and organized into a body which cannot be influenced in any such a manner, and to day tho colored mau is as good a worker as any other." Mr. Vandergaw said the colored men had received all possible consideration, but in order to give the subject all due consideration, ho moved the appointment of a committeo of throe, to whom the affair should be referred. A number of counter motions nnd amendments were then offered and during tho call of question ox Alderman Schlnsser said that, tho patronage had been squarely divided and added: 'These men who are kicking now all want to bo bosses: that is what they want, Why I went to the Navy Yard with Albert myself to see Mr. Bir kott, and did all I could to get him the podtion ho wanted. We havo givon them every show iva could consistent with tho representation they have made.

Albert has been to Birkett, Willis and Woodruff, but they had no vacancies such as ho wanted. They have always had the indorsement of the association and all we oonld give them. If they have 400 men hero, they certainly are not oigauized as they should be." Mr. Kennedy said there was too much talk about this trouble and Albert was summarily squelched without action. rtlitminfr Cbnirti the Subject of Voutesi lion iii the Twelfth Ward.

As soon as President John Maguire called the largo meeting of the Twelfth Ward to order last night and after Secretary Daly had read the names of eight propositions tho fun began. Martin Flanagan, who is tho mouthpiece of Jamos Johnson, the deposed boss, offered a resolution requesting the executive member of tho General Committee to rep.irt to the association tho doings of the Executivo'Committeo and that the executive member also report to tho association in open meeting all tho patronage ho gets. This created some excitement and was finally tabled on motion by David Brown. The lttmicntary smoothness was again disturbed by tho statement that live dozen chairs President George H. Bowe presided and Secretary George Rogers rocorded.

Josoph Gardner, chairman of tho Investigating Committee, reportod favorably on seven propositions aud the names woro ordered to bo enrollod. The secretary then road ton new applications and they wero roferred to tho proper committee. The transfer of Charles W. Craft from tlio Nineteenth Ward to the Seventeenth Ward was receivod and the name placed on the roll. An Unkind Cut to an Eighteenth Ward Candidate.

Thoro was a full attendance at tho regular monthly meeting of tho Eighteenth Ward Republican Association whioh was held last evening in tho wigwam, on DoKalb avenue, near Broadway. Owing to death of Orlando Bennett, a prominent member of tho association and a relative of the president, Charles Bennett, tho latter was absent, and tho mooting was presided over by Frank F. Shultz. William Halloran, tho secretary, recorded. George England moved that all regular business of the association, except tho receiving of new propositions, bo dispensed with.

The motion was carried. iThe Chair appointed George England, Frank F. William. and William Cardwcll a committeo to draw resolutions to the memory of Orlando Bennett, to be presented at the next meeting. Before the meeting adjourned Andrew Kennedy offered a resolution requesting the appointment of William Cnllen Bryant as Postmaster, on tho ground that the Western District had had all the plums.

Willinni A. Booth moved that tlio rns lution be laid upon the table, and tho motion was carried unanimously. They Tallied of tho CcnstiM in the 1'wen liolh. In the littlo church around tho corner of Adelphi street from Fulton the Twentieth Ward Itepublicans mot last night in their monthly assembly. The meeting was called to order by President Robert D.

Benedict. Secretary William Thornton read twenty two applications for membership and tho names were referrod to the Investigating Committee. George Washington Smith said it was in order to make appointments of census enumerators and that thoso wishing to engage iu the work might give hiin their names for presentation to the General Committee. One man said he believed George Washington a little too previous in his distribution of patronage. He thought the Congressman of the district should first be consulted.

This provoked a discussion on the subject that was shut off by a motion to adjourm The Tiventy Mccond Ward Appoints a for herself. Did Simon understand this woman at all, or did any of tho Pharisees thero uudcrstuJ her? Answer Except that she was a sinner. Dr. Meredith Did they understand anything: else? Answer Yoa. Dr.

Meredith What Answer It says: "Now whon tho Pharisee which had hidden Him saw it he spake within himself, saying, this man, if he woro a prophet would have known who and what manner oi woman this is that toucheth him; for she is a siu nor." Mr. Meredith Oh. I don't mean that Did thii miserable Pharisee know all tho bad things that could bo said about this woman, hut did ho nn derstand the tears and the ointment and this kissing of tho feet Answer No, ho couldn't understand it. Dr. Meredith No, no.

no; ho couldn't under stand it. You could set out to teach a Phariseo about those things for a thousand years, ami ho would be as ignorant as a baby a week old Pharisee in Brooklyn or Judea. The very first os Boutial is to trot the Phariseoism out of lu i. Wa this true' what Simon said Answers No, sir. I think Christ knew who she was.

Dr. Meredith Is what he said true, or in it not Answer Yes. Dr. Merc lilh Of courso it is trne literally true, absolutely true. Up to this point not a word lias been spoken out loud, and the Muster concludes that fie had better take the load in that conveiniilion Himself, and Ho says, "I havo somewhat to say unto thee." Simon "Master, say on," and thon Je: 'ts iqioice to him a little parable, that showed Simon that Jesus not only knew who and wha', the woman was, but that He knew who and what the Pharisee was.

"There was a certain creditor which had two debtors; the ouo owed five hundred pence ond the other litty, and when they had nothing to pay lie frank ly lorgave them both. Tell me, therefore, which will love him mod. Simon answered and said, 1 suppose that ho to whom he forgavo most. And He said unto him, Thou hast rightly Jtidtfod." A Member Docs that mean the grcator the sinner the greater the saint Dr. Meredith What do tho class think abont that Answers No, no.

no. Dr. Meredith Well, what does it mean? Answers The greater sinner may become UNL greater saint. The greater the sinner the greater tho reaction. The greater the love.

The greater the sinner tha more she would appreciate the position she had been in and would tic in after forgiveness. The greater the consciousness of sin. Don't you think tho greater sinner ought to tne greater saint? Dr. Meredith No, I don't. Ho couldn't be the greatest saint.

A Member How do you account for the case of Paul? Dr. Meredith He was one of tho grandest unconverted men God ever made. A Member Was he not a great sinner before his conversion? Dr. No. He waa onn nf thn mint cm.

Tbo Subject of Dr. Meredith's Sunday School Talk. He Draws the Lesson From the Inter Tiews That Folio wed the Bathing of Christ's Feet by tho Woman in Simon's House. The adult scholars aud teachers wero out in full forco last night at tho regular weekly exposition of tho Sunday school lesson by the Rev. Dr.

Moredith in tho Tompkins Avenue Congregational Church. After reading tho lesson impressively Dr. Moredith said: The very interesting incident which is the subject of our lesson to night stands in close connection with tho striking incident that wo studied lastjveok, and it is quite probable that the interview in tho house of Simon thn Pharisee occurred almost immediately after the raising of the widow's sou, and that it took place iu Naiu or in some town in that immediate vicinity. Of course, there have been different opinions with respect to this woman. Luke does not give us her naino does not tell us anything about her, except that she was a woman of the city, that was a sinner.

Some writers havo identified her with Mary, tho sister of Martha, and have identified thi action with the anointing that is described as having taken place at Bethany shortly before the crucifixion. There arc some coincidences; the host in each case was named Siraon; in one ease he is called "Simon the Pharisee" and iu the other tho host is called "Simon tho leper;" but it must bo borne in mind that Simon waa a very common name among the Jews, and beside Simon tho Pharisee and Simon the leper thoro are seven Simons and two Simeons mentioned in the New Testament alone, so that there is little force in rhat. The coincidence in the action of the women is more striking. Thoy both anointed tho feet of Je. rus, and yet, when the customs of that time and country are kept in mind, there is not very much force in that.

The points of contrast are insurmountable. In tho first place, what Luke describes hero very evidently did not take place in Bethany at the very close of the Master's ministry, but in some Galileean town, a very considerable length of time before the close of that ministry. The difference betwocn the women is conclusive between this woman, who was a sinner and who comes now in penitence to Christ for the first time, and the sister of Martha, who had long ago chosen tbo good part ana was sitting at Jesus' feet. Moreover, Simon, the Pharisee, is obviously a very different man from Simon, the leper. Some have identified this woman wun Mary of so that we have come to call her by that name and we.

have filled history with illustrations of that position, for which there is not a scintilla of evidence; so wo have Magdalene lio ipitals and societies, and we have dragged down the name of one of the purest women that ever lived on the face of this earth and associated it with that sort of thing. of Magdalene, possessed of seven devils, might bo famous or notorious as a demoniac, but not as a sinner iu the peculiar aud emphatic sense in which Luke uses the term hero. From her birth to her death ahe was one of the purest women that Christ ever looked on and got closer to Him than any other person while he was on earth. It remains, therefore, that wo know nothing of this woman, except that Bhe had lived a shameful and degraded life. There are throe poisons in this narrative about which our thoughts will gather, the Pharisee, the forgiven woman and the Friend of Sinners.

We want to look at each of them. What was a Pharisee anyhow What do you know about Phariseeism and the Pharisees Ao er They iwo a very sanctimonious sect. They were teachers. Dr. Yes, thoy were one of the threo great sects iu which the Jowish people at this time were divided.

A Tho Scribes, the SadduceoB and tho rsones. Dr. Meredith Yes, but the Essencs we do not hear much about: they kept themselves aloof from the actual life and ways of the world. What do you know about the Pharisees Answer They wore supreme hypocrites. Dr.

Moredith All of them 7 Answer No. Dr. Were there any good Pharisees Answers Yes, thero were good ones. The best men of tho times. They were extreme ritualists.

Wasn't Saul of Tarsus one of tbo best of them? Dr. Meredith Was Saul of Tarsus a hypocrite Answer No. Dr. Meredith Where did Pharisoeism como from How did it come to be Answer It was the returning of the Jews from tho idolatry, in the first part of their history, to a more strict adherence to their religion, as Jews. Dr.

Meredith Then you think it was good in tho beginning? Answer I learned so, sir. Dr. Meredith What do tho class think abont Answer They wero Separatists in the beginning. Dr. Meredith Yes, that is tho moaning of the word.

Answers Thoy wero Ihe orthodox Jews. They paid very great attention to the ceremonial law. Made a groat outward show of religion, but had very little of the true love of God iu their hearts. Dr. Moredith Had Phanseeism always been what it was in tho time when the Mastor was on earth Answer No.

Dr. Meredith What sort of a man was this Simon, anyhow Answer Very much interested in Jesus; ho wanted to know more about Him. Dr. Meredith Why was he interested in Him and why did he want to learn more about Him AtiBwers He was a liberal man. He was a Jew, and he wanted to got all the information he could.

Dr. Meredith Do you look upon Simon with favor, or with condemnation? Answers I came here to learn. Very far ahead of the peoplo of hiB time; a brave man, to invito Christ to dine witn him. He was a self righteous man. He was a puzzle to mo, sir.

Dr. Meredith He was a puzzle to this brother down here. How does it look to you? Answer Ho was envious of Jesus aud he wanted to find Him out and make a study of Him. A Member Didn't ho criticise Jesus, in not knowing who this woman was? Dr. Meredith Yes.

In what spirit7 Answer In the spirit of curiosity. Dr. Meredith Iu what spirit did ho invite Je sus to dine with him? Answer Tho spirit of ostentation. Dr. Meredith Yes got some new china and wanted to show it off Is that it? Answer It was the second year of His ministry and.

His fame was abroad, and he wanted to know something from personal acquaintance and observation. Dr. Meredith Why did ho invite the Master to dinner Answers Ho may have been healed of somo disease by Jesus and wanted to know more about Him. Wanted to patronize Him. A Membor Did you ovor hear of a Phnriseo coming to be healed Dr.

Meredith This is one, if that answer of tho brother is correct. Laughter.l I never heard of ono by tnat name coming, but your question startled me; I never had it presented to my mind before. I think there must havo been somo Pharisees healed by Christ. That is pretty stern bigotry that refuses to be healed. Simon invites Jesus to dine with him, and as thoy gather about nie luiue Miuru is i urown in tne room, anil ono woman who.

if Simon could havo his way, wouldn't bo there. But for the fact that wher ever Jesus is there must bo kopt open house for tho Borrowing and tha sin burdened she would have been quickly put forth; but wherever Jesus was on earth and wherever Josus is lo day, no bolt and no guard against tho most degraded and polluted soul that stains this earth. The church at whose doors such aro not welcome is a disgrace aud almost a blasphemy to tho name of Jesus. No church, no house where Jesus is lifts any bar against tho weakest, tlio poorest, the frailest, the most degraded, the most polluted of humanity. Christians, socalled, may wrap themselves up in their respectabilities and flounce by on the other side when such come, but by so much aro thoy unlike their Master.

Teach the children that Jesus keeps His readiest mercy for them that need it most. How did theso Pharisees regard this woman? How did they regard her presence iu their midst? Answer Most unwelcome. 'Dr. Meredith Ceremonially, I mean Answer Polluting. Dr.

Meredith If one of them had touched her what would he have dono Answer Wont homo aud changed his clothos. Laughter. Dr. Meredith Yes, he would. Ho would havo arisen from the table aud bathed himself and changed his clothing and thon remained unclean, ceremonially, for a certain time.

A Member What do you suppose induced Jcsub to go into that Pharisee's house? Dr. Meredith Maybe it was because Ho wanted to do tho Pharisee some good, and I think He did. too. A Member Do yon think it was to answer somo of the slanders that had been made concerning John the Baptist? Dr. Meredith No, sir; I do not.

Another Member I think Ho wont for a good Biippor. Dr. Meredith Well, that would be tho lowest possible motive. You had bettor climb up now and get some higher one. Another Member Is it not Dossiblo that lie went to perform this very miracle? Dr.

Meredith that is tho way a great many peoplo read the life of Jesus. I don't myself. I liuvn irot tlirongh with thinking that Jesus Christ fixed up things ooforehand and wont to this place because He foresaw that this thing was coming to pass. Aimtltpr Member He waft teaching us tho doc trino of doing unto others as wo would that others should do unto us. Dr.

Meredith How did tins woman regard herself? Answers As a great sinnor. As full of errors. A ve vv irn hlfnl. Dr. Mcrodith What as she thinking aud doing? Answers soeuing iorgiveness.

Thinking of leading a better life. Thin king of herself as a great debtor. Dr. Morodith Did the Master speak to her right away? Auawor No, He did not. Dr.

Do you thiuk that troubled her much? Answer I think it did. A Mouiber Don't you think sho was so over como with her feelings of love and gratitudo for Him that she was indifferent or nnconsciotiH? Dr. Alorodith No, sir, I do not. The woman appears at the beginning of this scene all suffused with gratitude, but just almost brokon to pieces by grief. Sho is standing up there.

I seo hor course I see her. Hor face is down; sho doesn't dare to look no; if it was not for tho presence of Jesus she would slinK out ol that house in hve seconds; but she can't bear to go away without getting wliat she came for, and sho is terribly distressed because Ho has not taken any notico her as yet; and thoro she stands, with tho tears streaming down her face, and she can't stand another minute and she sinks down behind Him out of sight; she floes uot wash His foot with tears; she just drops hor over them and down pour her tears, aud she gathers up the long tresses of her hair and wipos them and thon kisses His feet, and then she thrust hor hand into folds of hor dross and brings out a littlo oriiso of ointment and pours that upon foot and ceases not to kiss them. This woman had heard Christ for hersolf. the word of Christ aud the gracious influence Christ had brought tlio souse of this woman to sin and to the degradation of hor hfo and they have opened to her tho possibility of bettor but I tell you to day that the Rett gato that out and bars down thousands of women who as this woman; sinnod to night is that thoy cannot beliovo in tho tioasibllitv of anything bet When Jesus Christ camo to this woman Ilia teaching and nrcsonco and spirit showed her tho degradation and pollution and guilt of horlife.bnt showed her also the nossibili tv of foraivenness salvatibn, and she turned away from her old with pnrposo of heart and, as sho loft His it ic a is W. are New tho at wcBt nine piaco Bridge Trustees Unanimously Favor Extension.

A Short Session of tho Board Hold Yester. day Afternoon, in Which Unaniiiiiiiis Action on the Terminal Question Wa9 Taknn A Significant Telegram. Tho Bridge Trustees held a special meeting yesterday afternoon for tho consideration of the amended Jacobs bill, which will provide for tho extension of tho Brooklyn terminus of the bridgo to TiUary strcot. Tho members present wero President Howell and Trustees Schwab, Hiilo brand, Lawrence, Skinner. Keoney, Anderson, BarneR, May, Jackson, Riloy, MoNulty, Wormser and Molleiihauer.

President Howell stated the object of the meeting and thou Trustee George W. McNulty offered tho following resolution: Ilesoti'rct, That this Board is opposed to Senate Bill No. 100, introduced by Mr. Jacobs and pending before tho Legislature, in so far as it limits tho space to be occupied for terminal facilities to the northerly side of Cone rd street. The president is authorized to appoint a committee to appear before the proper committeo of tho Legislature at Albany and advocate amendments to said bill prepared by the Committee on Terminal Facilities which allow the extension of Mm storage and switching facilities as far south as Til taiy street and permit the full development of Ihe carrying capacity of the bridge.

Upon the putting of the motion the roll was called without discussion and tho resolution unanimously. adopted and the Board adjourned within ten minutes after the meeting convened. President Howell announced as tho committee Messrs. McNulty. Skinner, Riluv.

Schwab aud Anderson. They will start for Albany accompanied by Trustees Lawrence, Barnes, (Iillabraud anil Jackson as soon as it is known ivhun tho legislative committee will be ready to hear them. Bridge Attorney Dykman's law partner was there yesterday making arrangements and it is expected the trustees will start to day or to morrow. The will be before the Senate Committeo on Commerce and Navigation. Controller Myers, who came in late, told the Trustees' Committee that they could say to tho Albany people that Mayor Grant and his cabinet Were heartily in favor of tho amended bill.

Tho controller is iu receipt of tho following telegram: N. April 15. Hon. Tlwotlare 13. Mwrs, (Joiitrullvr of New York: The owners of property threatened bv tho bridge extension arc now on the train for Albany to attend a hearing before tho Senate committee, and they havo just learned that the bridge trustees consider the matter to day and ask a hearing to morrow.

Tiie law passed three years ago gives full power to take property from Adams to Fulton and Coucr.rd streets, and that will give room to spare for the loop system and ample storage room for the New York trains and space for them while being attached to the bridgo cable. That wid save thirty seconds required iu Brooklyn to push the loaded trains up to the cable and bring the engine baek. Any service which carries "the loaded trains away from the bridge curve and cable is injurious to the railroad. No device suggested can justify the pushing of the terminal facilities further toward the City Hall. Siguod.J John F.

Tho Court of Appeals yesterday haudod down decisions in the following local cases Judgment of the Kings County Circuit for in favor of Moses Bulkley and others against Parker R. Whitcombo, affirmed with costs. The action was to charge the defendant, as a stockholder of the Waverly Publishing Com pany, with a portion of tho indebtedness of tho concern, on the ground that when tho debt was contracted the capital stock of the company had not boon paid in and a certificate thereof recorded. The company was organized undor tho general act of 1848 with $:50,000. On February 12.

1880, defendant owned twenty shares of stock at $100 per share. Plaintiffs are paper manufacturers of New York City, aud during August and September, 1886, delivered 05,704 pounds, or 1,700 reams, of paper to the com pany. JSventualiy piaintill sued lor its money and recovered judgment for upon which execution was returned unsatisfied, and plaintiff then brought this suit. The defense was that defendant is not a stockholder and a set off. Argued by L.

Latiin Kellogg for appellant and Frederic C. Ward for respondent. Judgment dismissing the suit brought by Wright Dnryea and William Duryca against William 0. Vosbnrgh reversed and a now trial gran tod, costs to abi lo event. Up to May, 18S l.

tho defendant was a partner in the. firm of W. C. Vosbnrgh engaged in tho gas fixture business iu Brooklyn, no ownod 15 :8 of the business. Ono Peck and one Clark owned another 38, the widow of Peck's brother owuod 7 38 and the remaining 1 38 was owned by the estate of a Mr.

Day, deceased. Pock finally aold out his own interest and that of Clark, or 15 38, to the plaintiffs for $51,750, Vosbnrgh being tho negotiator. He and Day accepted tho plaintiffs as partners, and out of the purchase prico received, without the knowledge of plaintiffs, a sixth of which ho paid to Day. This suit was brought to secure this $8,000 from Vosbnrgh on the' ground that Vosbnrgh was tho agent of plaintift'B to secure the lowest prico possible. Defeuso was a denial of agency.

Argument by Nathaniel C. Moak for appellant and Esok Cowen for respondent. Judgment without costs to either pnr ty, upon this appeal iu tho suit ot Owon Donnelly against the City of Brooklyn. Thoso woro cross appoals from tho judgment of tho General Term of the City Court of Brooklyn, modifying and affirming as modified tho judgment of the trial term of that court, which sottled the amount of awards mado to plaintiff as owner of property on North Second stroot, in Brooklyn, said property having been taken for street widening purposes, ndor chapter 550, Laws of 1871. The General Term modified tho judgment by reducing tho ecovery of intorest to a dato beginning October 1888, when tho plaintiff hied his claim with tho Controller.

Tho plaintiff appoals from tho eduction and tho defendant appeals from tho judgment as so modified. Tho awards amounted to $2,800, with $2,110.08 intorest, making The General Term struck off interest down to 1888, on the ground that tho street had not been widened and tho plaintiff had not been injured his use of tho property, but that for eleven years both parties had allowed the street to romain as it was before tho act permitting tho widening of it was pasded. Argued byAlinct F. JenkB for appellant; Joshua M. Van Cote for respondent.

Mr, Of Republican Ward Association Meetings. Turbulence in the Tirenty flrst A Riot Oneltcd by Police in Iho Tenth Green leaf A. Smith and Bachman Expelled From the Sixteenth. Seventh Warders Ash for an InYcsiijration of Alleged Scandals. Of all the excited political meetings held in this City within recent years tlio regular monthly meeting of the Twenty first Ward Republican As Boeiation at Franz Deluumieo's z.ssembly Rooms, on Delmonico place, last night, wan unquestionably the moat turbulent ami disorderly.

It wan Iho. first meeting of the ward organization in its now headquarters. The hall was literally packed when the meeting was called to order by President James U. AUabeu. It wa? difficult distinguish the members" facos from the platform on account of the smoke laden atmosphere.

Seventeen propositions for member Bliip were received and referred to the Investigating Committee. Then the circus began. then out the hall was in a continual uproar. Chairman Jonathan Moore, on behalf of a previously appointed committee to revise tin roll, after Some difficulty secured the floor to make known the result of the eommirioe's work. He announced that the committee hul gone carefully over the Brooklyn Directory for .18 SO and also over tiie r.

'isti ion lists of last election. Tae names upon lie roll of the organization which were not found in cither authority had been dropped. It was taken for granted tint such people wore either dead or had move 1 out of the city. Several men's names had also been taken off the roll who were known to have voted the Democratic ticket at the last election. All told there were fifty live such names.

Upon motion, after some argument, thfi report was i. Then, despite the fact that Mr. Moore's report had been approved liv the organization, one of the members got up and moved That the name of one o' als mentioned should be excepted the individu ftom the list of dropped menue rs. The chairman entertained the motion, and out of order." put veiis of "The questions the motion to the house. Ic was lost and the same proceeding was gone through with in turn with at least a dozen names.

All this time everybody was fighting for the privilege of the floor. Finally the name of George Herbert, a former member, whom Mr. Moore said had been striken from the roll for being a Democrat, was brought up to be excepted from the Mr. Moore stated that tho committee had worked faithfully for twenty seven nights it work of revision, and the duty had been per formed without favor the Ijest iiner sts ol the association. There could he no mistake about the gentlemen r.

eommendi for dismissal. Mr. Moore's explanation was evidently not satisfactory, and the chairman has linked to place each man's name mentioned for exception, allv, in the form of a motion before the meeting. This was done in the midst of great confusion, and most of the members dropped by th'i committee were voted back into the organisation. John S.

Randall then move I that a vote of thanks be extended to the Revisory Committee. "The committee be hanged: it's no good!" was the exclamation that greeted this motion, but finally, after a long discussion, the motion prevailed. The chairman at this stage of tho proceeding. called for the report of the Investigating Committee. The chairman of the committee announced that he had a report, but it suned bv only a minority of the members.

He had not been able to lind the balance of the member. The report was udonted in tiie face ot pronounced objection to the illegality of the proceeding. Mr. liandal! presented a resolution empowering the secretary to provide each member with a membership card, without which he could not gain admission to the meetings of the asso ia tion. Almost every man in the room was immediately on his feet to protest against the measure.

Committeeman ejaculated, after the last que. tion had I'ecn decided and he had got the floor, "we'll come to the most important business of tho night. I know that there are many members of this association who are not republicans men who, disgui. as Ke publicaus. are voting the Democratic ticket.

I Want to weed these men out of our organization. Can we do it? I'm going to try and find out. One of the present to night has got resolution which he wants to present, which I think will accomplish that purpose. Mr. Thomas P.

jleagher will read it." Mr. Jleagher sai in presenting the resolution, that he had selected the name of a gentleman for use in the document whom he did not know personally He did not wih to cast any rejection upon tho gentleman in question, but he hail been given to understand that he was traveling under fn). colors, and in order to settle the question involved his name hud been ti.ied. was the resolution ll'irivus.

"I don't believe," one member interrupted.

He had said but a few words, when Meagher who had been approached oy the direction of the president by the at arms, aro and publicly apologised for his uugenticmanly lan.

That he had been a Democrat it was not denied, but so had General Grant and other leading lights of the Kepublican party at one stage of their careers. dive us one member called out "that Labilon is not now a iiep'tbliean and there'll be no opposition to the resolution." "Proof? 1 'roof did you say? I'il give you proof." Mr.

McWhiuucy shouted leaving his Heat mid lushing up to the front of the room. "Here it is listen to thir. proof in black and wdiite.

The enclosed card was a regular membership ticket of the Democratic association with Labdon 's name and address written in pencil.

What more do you want Oh, shut up," one of Labdon's friends ejaculated; "this is a put up job and 1 make a motion to lay the resolution on the table." "No! no! no!" came from all parts of the crowded room; "Labdou'tf a disgrace to the party. Fire him ill'. Kandall was permitted to make a few remarks after a prolonged wrangle.

Ho waa in favor of tabling the motion until Labdon could appear and plead his own cause. "Jinvy," he Bind, "loves a. marie This man been promoted from a a day position in the Navy Y'ai lo a place with an annual salary of fl, 400, and his good fortune has excited tin: jealousy oi ms enemies, lie was promoted lor performance of hi.i duties and I hope the motion to lay the resolution on the tabic will prevail." The question was put by Chairman Allaben ami the ayes and nays eaiied for. To a disinterested spectator the nays plamlydiad it. The president, however, ignoring McWliinney's demand for a ri.

ing vote, declared the question decided in the aliirmative and announced that the motion was laid on the table. This was ihu signal for a general rumpus. McW liinney's adherents jumped tip out 01 their seats and, shouting vengeance upon the chairman, nishod like, a pack of wild Indians toward the platform. Somebody among thoHC oppu ed to the resolution made a motion to adjourn and. against the excited protests of the McWhinney faction, the clnurmiiii declared it Carried.

Mr. Alia hen took his seat, and was at once unrroundnd by a wild and angry crowd. A Bhotlt wont up for the police which could have been heard a block distant, but no oflicc.r appeared.

Tho Younsr nomocraU of the Tenth Ward Entertain Their Friends.

Saonscrbund Hall was crowded last evening with distinguished Democrats of tho Tenth Ward, who, with thoir wivos, daughters and sweethearts, had accepted the invitation of the Tenth Ward Young Men's Democratic Association to dance at its inaugural grand annual ball. Tho ball from beginning to end was a decided success, aud the general verdict was that if tho boys managed their political affairs as well as thoy had engineered their social triumph it would not be long bofore thoy became a power in the land. Tlio decorations which havo served so many hundreds of dancers during the past season woro not sufficiently ornate to satisfy tho committee of the association appointed to attend to that division of tho affair, and last evouing everything was new and elaborate. In tho entrance hall was a banking of flowers and torus. Tho doors leading to the.

dancing hall woro draped with long lace curtains, hoi in position with'bouqiiets of roses and surmounted by crossed banners bearing the initials of the association. From the center of tho ceiling to tho side walls were festooned long strcimei'd of broad white lace crossed by graceful curves of the national colorod bunting. Four iargc baskets of flowers hung from the starting point of the festoons over the heads of the dancers. The front of tho balcony waa maile. gay with armorial bearings and lozenge, shaped shields of the Stars aud Stripes, while small American flags wavo.l from every placo whereon it had boon found possible to affix them.

Under an arch of gas jots showing the name of tho entertaining association sat an orchestra of fifteen pieces, concealed from tho view of the guests by a screen of latania and ireka palms, laski iiiies and whito and rod azaleas. Tho arrangements wore perfect, and iu spitj of the crowd thero was no unpleasant crush or any contretemps to mar tho entire success of the evening. Musical Director Nolan opened tho fenti vities with tho interpretation of the following programme: Overturo, 'Lustspiftl Kolo: Selection, and Poasiviit 1 Von inepp l.uvi Uornot solo, May ieon Thomas hong. Soloction, "Euroka" BontT Overture, "Hermit's Hell" Anbor Every selection was generously applauded aud Cornetist King wa compelled to respond to an encore. Tho ball proper opened with a grand inarch, tho music of which, tpociallv written for tho occasion and dedicatoil to the Tenth Ward Young Men's Democratic Association, was started shortly before 11:30 o'clocic Bartholomew I.

Schneider, the prcsidont of tho association, led the march, dancing with his sister, Miss Jennie Schneider. Vice President J. J. McG.ury, with Mis i Kate Dunne, came next and about ono hundred and fifty couples fohowed. Miss Schneider wore a long trained dress of pink snrah, with skirt draperies and angel alcoves of white Spanish lace.

The bodice was cut shaped back and front and outlined with crystal passementerie. She carried a bouquet of white bridal roses. Dunne's dress was of pale blue doited muslin over tho same colored silk, mado dancing length, with pulled sleeves of tho muslin. The nock was cut high and gathered to a narrow band of satin edgod ribbon. Loops of broad ribbon hung from tho waist to the horn of the dress.

Her bouquet was of dark red roses. The intricate evolutions of tho march were beautifully executed and at its close sides wero formed for the Saratoga lan ciers. The order of dance included thirty sets. At the end of the fifteenth dance an intermission was taken for supper. After supper dancing was resumed and kopt up until this morning's sun was many degrees above the horizon.

llaskins to call tho roll. Mr. Fold said he would dispense with that, and he did. Thou Mr. Fuld reported favorably on eight names proposed at the previous meeting and ordeie 1 them placed on the roll.

They went on with butonc dissenting voice. The secretary lead live applications for membership, and Mr. Fill I referred them to the Invos ti.ratuig Commute while ftmivl'. bvlaws ho bad looked on. Mr.

First, iie moved that the com mil tec appointed some month ago to got the old roll book from Secretary JohnJ. Casi be discharged.

Mr. James gne wanted the committee to re port first and culled upon Charles Morton, who, he said, was chairman of the. committee. Mr. Morton denied tliii and a long wrangle ensued.

Isaac Martin, of iho committee, said Oasey wouldn't give up the bonk unless ordered to do so by the 1 1 ommittce, and wanted to know what the Uem riti Commi tee had to do with it anyhow. No ope was able to toll him. Mi t'uld tried to make a speech, and was cabed to order by the Chair, to his "utter astonishment. Mr. Fuld wouldn't be sat upon.

He said: "I told Mr. Mariiu last meeting he rried lo be funny. 11,. said I was the committee, and he knew 1 wasn't. I hope next time he be pretty near more correct.

If they want to bo funny 1 take them to a free and easy or a b. sr garden, where thee can make funny of their own expense. We're here to do business for the city and county." Mr. McKeown facetiously moved that the committee hack at Casev for the roll book for an other mouth. This brought Mr.

Martin, of the committee, to his feet to say that he wouldn't act anv longer, lit had been to Casey's house three times. Casey, he said, knew the committee were after him, and they might go there for a hundred years ami not get the books. Mr. McKeown, he said, knew this as well as ho did. Fuld moved that a letter be sent to Casey, telling him that if lie didn't return the roll book he would be expelled from the association.

'This motion prevailed. Luetic reported that Fireman John Virtue had refused to see the coiiimitteo appointed to inquire if he was still a member of the association. John Anton reported that Virtue told him he still claimed membership in the association. Mr. Fnid said Virtue wanted lo lot the.

Fire Commissioner think he was a Democrat and at the same time retain his membership in the Republican association. President Smith spoke against striking Virtue's name from the roll and when a vote was finally taken many of the members refused to be recorded either way. Fourteen wanted Virtue's name taken from the roll and nine didn't. The Chair declared the motion lost, as it was not a two thirds vote. Tln ti there was a howl ami as a compromise a committee, consisting of Jerry Fuld and James Culbcrt together with the Chair was appointed to swoop down on the Kaole and demand from wUom it gets its letters regarding Virtue's position.

'J lien arose Thomas Mclntyre, of 13 Navy street, and asked hy bin name had been stricken from the roll. Mr. Buttling told him it was because he had ceased to be a Republican in the Blaine campaign and only now wished to identify himself with the association again because ho was looking for a place in the Navy Yard as a dock builder.

Mclntyre denied this and claimed he belonged to the Republican Association of the ward before Buttling was born. The bold Mclntyre was rather sat upon and the triangle sounded.

He moved that the Chair appoint three additional members of the committee in order that the work could be done.

Regarding the action of Mr. Le Bass, tho defeated candidate for District Alderman, and who is also a member of tho committeo and has not been at a meeting since election, the demand to impeach him and request for his resignation, made last meeting, was deferred, owing to tho good offices of Chairman Jacobs, who said ho was glad that tho workings of tho committeo had been given a ventilation, but did not liko tho suspicions prevalent at each occurrence of tho kind and requested that the matter be laid over till next meeting.

Nine antilications were received and referred to the Investigating Committeo. he treasurer reported that there was a balanco of $10.0 1 in the treasury, but that there wore a number of bills outstanding against the" associa tion.

The Investigating Committee reportod favor ably on sixteen names. which weroordered placed on the roll. A. Kurth, formerly of the Twenty fifth Ward: Henry Snyder, of tho Ninth Ward; Edwin D. AyreH, of the Twenty third Ward, and John W.

Odilio, of tho Twenty third Ward, presented certificates of transfer and were duly enrolled as members. Tho resignation of Godfrey Liticks was read and accepted. Just as a member moved to adjourn, but before the motion had been seconded, Mr. Albon Man rose in his place, discarded his overcoat, and said Mr. Chairman In my opinion the Republican party of the City of Brooklyn wUl soon be defunct, unless sorao action is taken to purge it of tho stigma that has rested upon it since the recent election for officers of tho General Committee.

True Republicans repudiate such methods as were employed by those delegates. Unless some action is taken this matter we might as weU give up holding meetings. I tell you there are thonsands of Republicans in this city who will not vote the Republican ticket while such raon are at the wheel. I speak not of any pno faction in tho General Committee, but of both. One i is corrupt as the other.

I hear talk of a now party hoiuc formed and unloss a change is made in ihe present leadership of the Republican party I fool that 1 will havo to join such a new party myself. It is a disgrace and a shame that such prominent Republicans, whou oharges are made, should not have the stamina to havo those charges investigated. Wo want to support the Rgpiiblicau party for tho party's sake and on but not tor tho men at the head now. As an oKl Republican I feel that I would not have perfocmed my duty if I had cor 'iero to night and not spoken as I have. lAr'JaBe.

H. K. was the ne ifeaker. He said that the Guneral Committgoandalfl were al cooy of this resolution ba sent to each and every the. General Committee.

The resolution was adopted and the meeting adjourned. I'iUrOiintre smd PersoiiuliUe.n Before Slie Kiuriith Wanlers, The meeting of the Eighth Ward Republican Association last night, at Fifth avonuo and Twenty third street, was sufficiently lively to keep a conplo of hundred statesmen busy from 8 until 10 o'clock. President Walter Thorn was the chair and Assistant Secretary C. R. Macaulay odiciated in the absence of his chief.

The Finance Committee reported that the death or tlio former president, Asher Williams, who had charge of the finances after November last, had delayed the preparation of a statement, which, however, wonld be ready at the next meeting. William II. N. Cadmus, for the Committee on the Revision of the Rolls of the Association, reported the iiiiiiieso; 15.1 former members who had either died, become Democrats or departed from out Ihu limits of the ward. He presented the report and with it a resolution that tho names so reported should be Htrieken from the rolls of the association.

A long discussion followed, in which Mr. Cadmus was accused of working for hi side and of delaying the clearing up of the rolls, so that Democrats could vote in the Republican ward primaries, but the resolution was carried and tin; roil iY.e,ro freed of the deadwo id. Silas 11. Scars, who hail been a member of tho Roil Revision Committee and who complained bitterly of the slowness with which the work was being done, moved that the Chair appoint a committee of three to co operate, with the committee, in the revision of the rolls and also to ask the Democratic Ward Association to appoint asimilar committee of three, ihe two committee to com p.ii'c books and see what names were carried in botn associations. Secretary Macaulay objected to this.

He thought there would bo a poor response from the Democrats. He amended the measure by having it referred to ihe Hull Committee, which was finally done. Arthur Ward resigned from the Roll Committee and his resignation was accepted. New business being in order, Cadmus wished to explain that tin reported statement that ho was going to asi; Presi, lent Thorn to resign was false. He never made such a statement.

President 1 horn said he was glad Mr. Cadmus had made this explanation. It made him fuel better and gave him an opportunity to set himself right before the association. They had all doubtless read about his call for a caucus the presidents of the ward associations recently. For this he had only received kicks and abuse and knife thrusts in the back from his own party in the ward.

The reason ho had called the meeting of the presidents was to help the Kighth Ward out in Ihe following way: Those who were outside the district which Mr. Wallace represented had no show at all. His idea was to agitate tin; matter among the presidents and get a pledge of what the liighth Yvard was going to get out of tho patronage. If the ward Knew just what was coming to it everybody wonld be at la st and there would be no kick at the lack of pati image. Now everybody was in the dark and iherr; were jealousies and indecision as a result.

His idea was that us much could be got for the Eighth Ward as anybody had. Then, too, meetings of the. presidents would be excellent for determining upon campaign measures and getting exactly the eoustitiuioiis of the wards. 1 have boon charged with being a candidate for marshal," concluded Mr. Thorn.

"Tho way of it was this: Friends asked me to run, I said no, Mr. Fielding and Mr. Cochcu were candidates, and both were my friends. I would not run against them, lint I win told that tho time was coming when they could not be chosen. In that case I said I would run, and in no other.

Ami that was the way I have been candidate for marshal." The mutter of lack of patronage moved Mr. Cadmus to explain how it was that the Kighth Ward was nowhere when it came lo a division of the spoils. The fault lay in the representation. In the Assembly Convention the Twenty second Ward had twenty live votes and the Eighth and Ninth wards had but twenty between them. The Twenty second Ward, therefore, controlled tiie patronage of the district aii the way up anil the other wards had nothing.

The Democrats had the same number of delegates from each ward, and it ought to be so in ihe Ro nuhlican organization. Mr. Fischer said the other day 'We don't want the Eighth Ward, we want the Twenty Now we want him to regard us. We polled 2,200 votes lor llarnson in this district, I think this association ought to 1 a a resolution to go to the Republican Con vention tor a reorganization of tue party in Kings County." An cuthiisiar.t by the name of Dick Giliaily, to prove that toe F.igiitn W.ird Republicans were no good, graphically told the story of how ho failed to get ii job in tiie Navy Yard when Democrats Iro the war 1 were in the yard calmly enjoying the benefits of a "pull," which he hinged for and could not find in his own party. A purple i in iivi lii il, named Lawrence Guughiun, then tried to make a stump speech and, as he could not be called to order, the meeting waa adjourned amid roars of laughter.

t'isiH Vsntl in the Tenth and the Police Called in Tho members of the Tenth Ward Republican Association, at their regular meeting last evening, indulged in a free fight which, had it not been for the extremely prompt action of tho police under Captain Leavy, might havo terminated seriously. Tho mooting was held in Casey's Hall, on the corner of Court and Butler streets, within fifty feet of the Third Precinct Station House. In view of the fact that a free fight had not been anticipated police protection had not been asked, and it was fortunate that the station house was within hearing dis tance. Tho row was occasioned by the efforts of certain members of tho association to place tho name of M. J.

Halloran on tho roll book. It is charged that he was a Republican and a member of tho association for nineteen years prior to the election of President Clevoland. Ho had held a place in the Navy Yard for many years which he feared he would lose unless he becamo a Democrat. Mr. Halloran had his name proposed for membership iu the Tenth Ward Democratic Association and asked tho Republicans to strike liiu name from their roll.

This the Republicans did, but the Democrats refused to admit Mr. Halloran to membership. Ho retained his place in the Navy Yard, however, through Democratic influence. Upon tho election of President Harrison Mr. Halloran again felt that his placo in the Navy Yard was not secure.

Ho then re pented ot his apostasy and asked to bo readmitted to membership in tho Tenth Ward Republican Association. His request was referred to an investigating committeo consisting of five members. Four of them reported in favor ot admitting Mr. Halloran to membership, while the fifth, Mr. Elward Kellett, entered a vigorous protest.

This report was received at tho last meeting, but not adopted. The quarrel last evening arose out of tho consideration of the question whether or not that report had been adopted. Mr. William Waldron moved to discharge the Investigating Committeo and incidentally said something not agreeable to Halloran or his friuuds. One of the latter told Waldron to shut up.

His reply brought a threat from Tom Shields, which in turn elicited a retort from Fred Smith. In a minute Shields and Smith wero hitting each other. Some one seized Waldron by the back I oi the neck and threw him to the uoor. At least ten men stamped on him thero and made him realize tho danger ot politics, instantly the mooting was in an uproar. Chairman Hermann did not attempt to rap for order, but discreetly left tho desk.

Men were cursing and striking at each other with chairs and lists and foot. Four policemen burst into the room and in a moment everything was as quiet as when tho meeting had been originally called to order. Mr. Waldron had a suit of clothes destroyed, and borosoveral bruisos on his face. Ilia hat could not bo found.

Others in the hall displayed that peculiar Hush about thoir checks which presage black eyes and discolored skinB. Thero were no arrests mado because harmony was ho quickly restored. The meeting thou got back to work and decided to reject Mr. Hallorau. Tho vote was 20 in favor of admitting him to membership and opposed.

Adjournment was then taken by unanimous consent and tho quarrel was not renewed. Colored men in the Kleventli Clamoring: for The good and faithful were on hand promptly at the ward rooms of tho Elovouth, coruor ot Fulton street and DoKalb avonue, at 8 o'clock last evening, and the businoss in hand was walked through with in short order until tho placid surl'aco of the pool was ruffled by the dip of tho oar of one of tho colorod members, who evidently wanted a larger and fatter boat for his peoplo to paddle than tho powers that bo had boon able to give in tho past. After various minor business had boon dono Mr. Albert said: "I havo boon aR along waiting for this association to do something for its colored members. Wo havo had promises enough, but promiHOB aro not worth much when they aro all wo get.

I considor that this neglect of thom in the apportionment of everything that falls to tho Eleventh is cause for a serious grievance. There is no consideration shown for them at all, and I como horo to night to loam from you Just what can bo dono for tho colored voters of the ward.

Now, air, I want to know what can bo done to equulhso mattors, Tho chairman said that if tho gentlemen was addressing the Chair alone, he would, on behalf ot all, say that everything possiblo would be done for tho colored votor in tho future, as it had been in tho past. Mr.

Vandergaw wanted to know what representation the colored men hold iu the ward, and said that thoy had received a very fair representation. Mr. Albert said that out of the 400 colored men in tho ward only one had been appointod to auy position through the association's infiuence. The others he claimed had arotton thoir positions which were purchased lor the association by Harvev TomlniHoii, former executive member. early in 188'J, had disappe: ed since the last firimary and now occupied conspicuous places in Mllon's Saloon on Columbia street.

Tho Fifth Assembly District Republican Club organized in May and still in existenco meets at Dillon's place and claims the chairs as its properts. Mr. Dillon, who is a member of the SVard organization, said he paid for the chairs at the time they were bought. It was found that he was not a member of the organization at tho time and further that Mr. Dacey, ex president of the association, declared that he had tho receipt for tho chairs in his possession and would produce it when required.

Messrs. Frank Woods, David Brown and Alexander Burnett were appointed a committee of three to investigate tho chairs. Mr. Johnson, who was present, was conspicuous for his quietude. Herman Struck, who is now the ward leader, is ill with hemorrhage and was unable to attend the meeting.

A Siricf Siitwiwii of the hirtceiith Ward A brief session of the Thirteenth Ward Republican Association was held last evening in Eureka Hall, :78 Bedford avenue, George Moulton in the chair, and Charles Do ld recording. After the reading and approval of the minutes of the previous meeting, twelve ctndilates reported on favorably by the Investigating Committee were elected and their names placed upon the roll and ten propositions for membership were made. The. meeting then adjourned. Peace Kci'nK nce itlore ill the Fourteenth A comparatively tame session of the Fourteenth Ward Republican Association was held last evening at the headquarters in Palace Rink, on Grand street, near Wythe avenue.

The four previous meetings were of ihe liveliest kind, and efforts were made to exchange blows at them, but the boys wero pretty well cooled down under pressure from the General Committee James Scott presided and John P. llogari rocorded. The attendance was large, but tho absence of some of the leaders of the dominant factious was noticeable. Tiie Investigating Committee presented a re port recommending eleven candidates, whoso names were placed upon the roll. About eight propositions for membership wer made and referred to the nvedig.iting Com mittee.

It was reported that the amount in tho treasury was cents. The chairman said tha in Democratic meetings large numbers of new members were proposed. He hopd thev won! exert themselves in gathering new members Julius Trippansec remarked that the Republicans wore ail going over to tlio democratic party be cause ot way tilings were conducted.

The April meeting of the Sixteenth Ward Asso ciatiou at Turn Mcserole street, last even ing, was largely attended, notwithstanding the prediction that tho suspension of Greenleaf Smith and Michael Buchman would reduce tho organization to the status of a corporal's guard.

George Orpen Occupied the chair and Assistant Secretary Andrew Franck was tho secretary. Harry Jacquill trd, as chairman of the Investi gating that as Greenleaf A. Smith the lite secretary, had failed to furnish tho com mittee with the names, entered in tho books, of applicants eligible for membership, he had to go ivrouii 1 himself and see tho parties, and as all th names referred to the Investigating Committee were well vouched for as being good Republic ans, he moved that they bo placed upon the roll. The motion was carried unanimously Harry Jacquillard About a week ago and onco since we visited the house of Greenleaf A. Smith to outain tne rou boon oi ine sixteenth Wan Re publican Association, but faded to lind him at homo till tho fast time.

Then, when we had waited tor him some time, he got off a car, and when we asked him for tho roll book he said that he was not obliged to give up what he considered to be his privato property. I claimed that the names of the members of the Sixteenth Ward Republican Association being in those books made them ours, and I said that un der the Ohapin Act it was possible on his with holding the book, to send mm to Statn Prison tApplause.J Ho still claimed that the books wero Jus own privato property ana tuat no had the boons prepared ana bound lor his own convenience. As ho still refused to give up the books we bade him good evening. I suggest, therefore, iniiv a eomiuitiee oi live uu apponueu to wait on Mr. Smith and request tho Burrendor of the roll book and that, in the event refusal we ask for a new enrollment.

Joseph Benjamin I move that a committee of five, as suggested, bo appointed, with full power, and if they cannot obtain the roll book from Mr. Smith, that application be made to the General Committee for a new enrollment. The motion was carried unanimously and tho chairman appointod as tho committeo Mobsi s. S. W.

Murphy, Harry Jacquillard, Joseph Benjamin, Theodore Wich and John H. Fieischiuan. Mr. Benjamin I movo that tho comniittoe appointed to investigate the charges of bribery and corruption againat Greenleaf A. Smith and Michael Buchman bo discharged, with the thanks of this association.

Tho motion was seconded carried unanimously, greatly to the astonishment of many persons who had predicted that the friends of Smith and Buchman would make a big effort to rein state them in the association. Samuel Worth The Republicans of tho Sixteenth Ward have now started out with the desire of having peace and harmony within their borders, and not pnly here, but among the Republicans throughout the ward outside of tho association. It is evident that some who have left us will not co oporate with us. Tho late secretary, Greenleaf A. Smith, it appears, refuses to surrender the roll book.

Now I move that the names of Groonleaf A. Smith and Michael Buch. man ue stricken irom the roll. The motion waB carried, oven Bob Rudd, who mado the tine procorruption Bpeoch at tho previous meeting, uttering not one word against it. Mr.

Benjamin I move that a committee of ten bo oppointod to formulate a constitution and bylaws for the government of thiB association. Carried unanimously. Mr. Benjamin In tho absence of the ohairman of the delegates of tho ward to the General Committee, I would report that we stated to tho General Committeo our action in suspending Green loaf A. Smith and Michael Buchman and that the committee, having sanctioned our action, Edward 11.

Schlueter, chosen by us as the substitute for Michael Buchman as delegate, has been accepted. fApplause.1 Mr. Jacuiiillard moved that tho assistant secro. tary, Andrew Frank, bo made secretary to succeed Smith. Tho motion was carried unanimously.

On motion of Mr. Worth Mr. John Cox was chosen assistant secretary. The secretary produced a number of letters of resignation, among thom being one from C. W.

Jones, of 3G0 Keap street. Mr, Jacquillard Our lato secretary has boon bragging around that in consequence of his suspension a large number of our members would resign. Now we want to sec if theso resignations are authontic or not. Mr. Bonjamin I understand that pending tho investigation in this body, in regard to the alleged bribery and corruption of Smith ami Buchman, Smith, as secretary of this association, received a number of resignations which ho failed to present to this asBociation.

Now I move, in tho case of tho resignations tendered previously to his resignation, that committee bo (tupoiiifcod to wait on the parlies and ascortaiti whether, now that tho result of tho investigation has boon do clarod, they still intond to resign or not. Theodore Wich I movo as an amendment to the last motion that tho secretary look over tho names of tho parties tendering resignation and let it be ascertained then whothcr they themselves havo sent in these resignations or others for thom, and that no lottor of resignation bo presented for action thoroon till af tor tho Investigating Committee shall have reported atiiest mooting. Mr. Benjamin It is well known, that ponding tho bribory investigation several resignations woro handod to Mr. Smith, but ho did not present them: in other wordB, ho did not want to read his own death warrant.

Now, wo wish to iiavo thoso parties state whothor they still wish to withdraw from the association or not. The motion of Mr. Benjamin, with Mr. Winh'H nmendinent, was unanimously carried, and the mooting aajournou. r.lttlc Interot in the Seventeenth Ward Meeting Tho April mooting of the Seventeenth Word Re publican Association was hold last evening at Bartholdi Hall, with a slim attendance.

Yloe L. Committee. The Twents' second Ward Republican Associa tion last evening launched out with sumo vi upon an aggressive policy. President Jothan Curry was in tho chair and W. S.

Treadwoll was secretary Three transfers wero reported, eight new propositions given and twelve names ap proved by tho Executive Committee for member ship. Chairman Miller, of the Exeoutive Com mittee, tinow tne urst explosive by moving that W. S. Currier, C. T.

Gull, S. F. Huliti D. McClintock, Chancellor Clark, W. O.

Tate, C. W. Baxter, Bobert Malcolm and William Michaels, members of ihe Executive Committee, having failed to attend any meetings, or take in terestinthe association, bo removed and thci places declared vacant. The discussion upon the motion was lively and various. The objection was strong to such summary measures, but the question being finally put, the motion was adopted.

Then the way to fill tho vacancies so made came up. Chairman Miller encouragingly stated that there was still a working majority of the comnutto left and it was decided that the places could not ba filled without due notice being published in advance of a regular meeting, Ex Supervisor J. H. Baker moved that when ine meeting adjourned it adjourn to meet tho third uesday in August. Discussion followed.

Mr. Miller voiced the tenor of the objection when he declared that this long adjournment was mado bo that the politicians could crawd out of hustling for members who wanted jobs through patron age, in is was tin tne more evident, as no tinder stool that there was a good deal of patronage to be distributed about July I. Mr. Baker said that if there was any patronage it was in the General Committee and not iu the association, jjesule the expense of holding those meetings was very great, ana there wero only two or three men who wero willing to go down in tueir pockets ana pay tue Dills. Jlr.

tinkers motion was lost. Mr. Gee moved that a committee of five be ap pointed to canvas among the members of the association to get nominal subscriptions for continuing me meetings and tor the running expenses of the year. He added that there seemed to ue a great ileal ot place hunting nowadays, and that for this reason men came into thesn as sociations. If the people thought a little more of their party than they do now the party would get oiick its out leeimg and prestige.

Mr. Raker. who is chairman of the Finance Committee, ob jected to the motion on the ground that it interfered with the duties of tho Finance Committee. The president aided with Mr. Baker and ruled out the motion.

An appeal was taken from the decision of the Chair.and the president was almost unanimously put down, and tho motion was cur ried with a rush. The president then appointed on tne committee messrs. uoo, Anderson, Murray, num aim Baker becamo ronsed to a souse of indie nity anil re igneti ins place as cnairman ot the Finance Coinmitteo. "You will have to put your resignation in writing," said the president, anil before Mr. Riilcr could find the paper and tho pen a motion of ad journment was carried.

No Quorum at the in the Twenty fourth Ward. The Twenty fourth Ward Republican Associa tion, which meets at the oorner of Atlantic and Kingston avenues, could not transact any business last night for lack of a. quorum. President W. H.

Lyon, requested a full attendance at the May meeting. New Members Added to the Twenty sixth Ward Association. The Twenty sixth Ward Republican Association met last night in kloppuian's Hall, on Bradford avenue, near Atlantic. Twenty two applicants for membership were added to tho roll. Eight propositions for membership were received and referred to the Investigating Committee.

The following transfers from other associations wero made: H. P. Osborne, from the Fourth District, Suffolk County; Clarence F. Whittakor, from the Twenty fifth Ward. The application of George H.

Rich ardB, which had boon dropped from tho rolls because of alleged Democratic affiliations, was restored. GEORGE ALEXANDER'S WILL.

There May Be a Contest Over It an He WaN Averred To Be an Imbecile. (The will of old George Alexander haB been offered for probate. Mr. Alexander died at 50 Morton street, on March 23. Tho will bears date of July 0, 1887, and names the wife, llachael, as the executor.

The witnesses aro Mary Si Timp son and Alfred H. Teller. The property of the deceased, consisting of the house at 50 Morton street and $0,000 in cash, is left to tho widow, and the is given the right to appropriate $500 each year from the $0,000 for her support. At her death tho children get tho roal estate and as much of the 000 as romains. Tho widow is about 70 years of age.

Tho children aro Frank lin B. Alexander, Mrs. Susan E. Sparrow, Mrs. Rachel E.

Anderson and Mrs. Ida A. Liddell. Thero is also a grandchild, Ethel Alexander, who lives with her mother, Helen, at 3a East Twenty first street, New York City. In tho latter part of February, Lawyer John A.

Qnintaril, in behalf of tho Commissioners of Charities and Corrections, applied to Justico Bartlett, of the Supremo Court, to havo old Mr. Alexander's mental condition determined by a jury. It was then alleged that Mrs. Sparrow had obtained possession of her father's bank books, and doled him out uot enough to support him aud Ihb aged wife. Tho old couple wero said to bo in destitute circumstances, and Mr.

Alexander, who was formorly a mechanic was pronounced by physician who examined him to bo a partial paralytic and imbecile. His death, of course, puts an end to those proceed ings. There may be a contest ovor the will. THE DIPHTHERIA SCARB. Mr.

E'arrell Charge the IQoalth Depart ment with Ncrlect. Mr. John M. Farrell, of 75 Fifth avonuo, whose daughter was attacked by diphtheria last mouth, as stated in Monday's Eagle, expressed great indignation ovor tho action of tho Health Depart ment in the cbbo. He said: "My daughtor is 17 years old.

Sho was stricken with the disease March 13. The case was reported to the Health Department tho following day by Dr. Georgo W. Cushing. From that time, however, until now no representative of tho department has visited us.

Tho case was roported twice. My daughter has fully recovered since. wont to tho Health Departmont to day and found that thoy had tho roport and had notifiod the school, but thoy never sent anyone to fumigate my houso. As to the Conradson childron, two went to Publio School No. 0, on Vandorbilt avenuo, and two to tho Borkeley place school until within a few days.

The Health Dopartmont sent a man on Monday to fumigate their apartments, but he could not do so as one of thoir children was still sick. I think thoro wore only two cases in thoir family. If fbnr of the childron suffered from tho disease, then two of them have recovered and are playing around tho stroot. Tho Health Department has neglected its duty all through this affair. I havo never huown of a case that caused so much talk as this.

I had to havo a finger amputated, requiring tho presence of two doctors, and I think that that may havo given rise to tlio scare." PATOHOGOE'S EXE3IPT FIREMEN.

Academy Lent Tho Apollo Club gave the third and finest concert of its twelfth season last evening' at the Academy of Music, in tho presence of a large and brilliant audience. Dudley Buck conducted, of course, and the club had the assistance of Mrs.

Corinne Moore Lawson, soprano, and of the New York Philharmonic Club: Richard Arnold. violin; Friedhold Hommann, viola; Charles Hemmann, violoncello; Eugene Weiner, flute: Sebastian Laeudner, violin; August Kalkhof, double bass. It might almost have been called an Amoriean composers' night, three of the six numbers which the club sang being by Americans. First and foremost there was Dudley Buck's splendidly imaginative aud melodious setting of tho chorus of Spirits and Hours'' from Shelley's "Prometheus Unbound." Shelley's verse is so musical and is sustained atsuch an exalted poetic height that the idea of furnishing a fitting musical expression for it might well daunt a composer, but the beauty of the noem inspired Mr. Buck, aud ho has written a setting so sympathetic, so melodious and so strong as to make ono long for an American opera on a noble theme by America's foremost composer.

Tho choros of Spirits and Honrs is not long, but it covers a wide variety of musical expression and it is nowhere commonplace. It is written for a solo tenor voice, which takes tho opening passage, "The pole stats are gone," and the query, "But where are yu repeatedly addressed to the spirits, tho responses being choral. The first of these is stately in movement and rich iu harmony, ending with the solemn declaration from the basBes: "We bear Time to his tomb in eternity. Contrast, ed with this is the bright and dainty grace of the Bucceeding chorus: fla te, 0, haste As shades are chased. Other notable passages were a melodions chorus beginning, Ceaseless and rapid and fierce and free; a passage given first by the solo voice aud then repeated by tho chorus, Tho pine boughs are singing Old songs with uow gladness: and a splendidly spirited passage, Come, swift spirits of might and of pleasure.

Tho solo part was finely sung by Dudley S. Buck, whose voice rang out thrcugh the spaces of the Academy iu a way that gives promise of fine work when he shall have matured his voico by European study. Tho chorus sang witti a sonorous volumo of tone and with admirable vigor and expressiveness. Mr. Buck gave the voices such support as he could got from the six instruments of the Philharmonio Club and a piano and an organ in the efficient hands of John Hyatt Brewer and Harry Rowe Shelley.

Tho applause following tho number was and persistent and Dudley S. Buck, who had sung the solos, acknowledged it with a bow. It was very kiud of the young man to bow, but tho applause was intended for his father, as the audience showed a moment later when Mr. Buck returned to the conductor's desk and repeated part of the composition. The other American music was "Spring's Return," a pretty but slight thing by Max Spicker, and "The Farewell of Hiawatha," from Longfellow's poem, by Arthur Foote.

Mr. Footo's setting is melodious and interesting at times and is im pressive at its close, but it is uot strikingly impressive as a whole, having unsatisfactory moments liko the passage beginning: And the forests, dark and lonely, Moved through all their depths of darkness. Hiawatha's solos were well sung by Frederick Reddall. The club's other numbers were a stirring "Martial Song," by Gomes; a tender littid "Wanderer's Night Song," by Lonz, beautifully sung and rodemauded, and Mendelssohn's "Farewell" at tho close. Mrs.

Lawson is a handsome andacceptablo bravura singer from Cincinnati, with an agreeable and well trained voice.
