Thomas Hayes, who lived on Twentieth street, New Y'ork, and was employed as a waiter at the Manhattan Beach Hotel, was drowned on Saturday in front of the men's bathing pavilion. It seems that he went into the water in company with another waiter who did not wish to. venture out 80 far as Hayes, tho latter being a good swimmer. Thia friend saw Hayea go out some distance and then return to ahallow water, when he stood up and soemed to be ail right, but when his friend looked for him a short time afterward 'oe saw him floating face downward, as hia friend thought purposely, but when several minutes had elapsed ho became alarmed and going to him found ho was uDconsciouB. Tho body waa taken out of the water, and tho doctors of the hotels woro sum moned and did all In their power to revive him, but to no purpose. Tho doctors said that Hayes must have fallen ia a fit, and being face downward waa, of course, drowned, ns ho would have been if the water was only a few iQciios deep. No bh-ime ie attributed to the bath ing house assletant, aa this method of floating is con siderably praclieed by swimmera, and has never been attended with any danger before. Had his friend no ticed him sooner there may have been a chance for hia life. 'This is the first case of drowning at Manhattan Beach, although tho numher of bathers in the past three seasons his been over 800,000. It is the only place on tho Island where a boat keeps guard oloso to the bathers, and men are always ready on the beach to rescue any one in danger ; but, of cour.se, they do not dictate to the bathers whether they sliall float or not. The inquest on the body was hold by Justice McMahon acting as coroner, and a verdict of accidental death was rendered. ABANDONED IIIILD. PICKPOCKETS. An Exitorlencc on a Couoy I s la n d Boat- William Hamooh and his wifo, of No. 3 Laight Btroet, Now York, were paesengere on the steam boat J. B. Schuyler, from Coney leland, laol evening, and went ashore at Pier 35, North River, about eight o’clock. In going down the gangway they woro Jostled by throe or four men, apparently anting in concert, when suddenly Mr. Harnoch felt that hie gold watch chain had boon taken from his vest pocknt and a gold watch ofjthe value of $85 had been detached from it without ^breaking tho screw. Ho ioizod tho hand; of the thief, but tho watch had been passed to a oonfedorste and dlsappoarod. In answer to cries of ’’Help,\ AVatch Officer Wood, of the Steamboat Squad, came up, and found two men, who gave the namee of Henry Peterson and George West, etrnggling to extricate themselvea from the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Harnoch, by whom they wore securely hold. They wore taken into custody, and a complaint for larceny from the person was taken against them before Justice Smith to-day at the Tombo Police Court. An examination was granted in tbo afternoon, and ball set down at $1,600 for each prisonor. POLITICAL. TOBMEXTISO JOllS CHINAMAN. Last night Officer Mulligan, of the Union Market Police Station, while patrolling Stanton street. New York, had his attention attracted to a number of excited Chinamen pursuing John Brodio, aged 22, of No. 130 Stanton street, through Pitt street. The police man gave chase and captured the fugitive, and then, in broken English, was informed that the prisoner had endeavored to kill Quong Chang, the proprietor of a laundry at No. 138 Pitt street. Erodle was looked up, aud this morning ho was brought before Justice Wandell, in tho Essex Market Police Court. There Quong Chang deposed Uiat the prisoner entered his place of bueinosa and made a demand for 50 cents. When hia demand was not complied with he became abusi re and tbreatonod to kill ail the China men in the laundry, four iu number. Ho waa finally compelled to vacate the ostablisbmeut, and thereupon seized a stone and throw it thr.iugh the show window. The missile struck Quong Chong on the shoulder, and then it waa that tho Coleatlale ia a body started after lirodie. Tho latter denied the Chinaman’s statement, but his Honor bolloving that the charge waa not tramped up, fined him $5, statiug, at lha same time, that New York was not San Francisco and that Chinamen must bo protected. ___ STABBED.

X Quarrel wUli fi Jig Dancer Followed by the Use of tho Kiilfo—What a Young Man Eecelvcd for lulerferiiig in a Mat ter that Did Not Concern him - The Victim 111 a Critical Condition. A stabbing affray, which in all probability will result fatally, occurrefi at ba’.f-past eight o’clock last evening, on tho corner of Hudson avenue and York street. Tho victim Is John Dinnon, aged 20, and of No. 201 York street, and the person who stabbed him ia •Tamea Slorgan, 19 years of age, having no occupation, and living at No. 48 Steuben streot, which is in tho centre of Jackson Hollow, From appearances, It ie evident that Dinnon was pmiishod for unnecessary in- ter'crenco in a dispnto in which ho waa not in the least concerned. Between five and six o’clock Morgan stood on tho corner of York street and Hudson avenue, conversing with a boy named Oweao, who enjoys some dlatinctiou as a jig dancer, having no later than last week appeared on tho boards at tho Court Square Theatre. Slorgan thought it would bo highly amusing to run down Owens' qualifications as a dancer, and did so iu a m*)st emphatic manner, in stancing ono Billy Barry as being hia superior in tread ing the sand. Angry words soon took the place of jesting, and Wows quickly followed the angry words. Morgan finally struck Owens hotwoen tho eyes, and the dancer returned the blow. A crowd quickly gathered, and some roughs, knowing Morgan to bo a stranger la the neighborhood and being frleudly toward Owens, made up their niiuds to assault the lutruder from Jack- son Hollow. Morgan made U!a way through tho crowd and ran in the direction of Green lane, holly pur.stied by no less than fifty men. Dtnnou waa tho first to overtake him, aud, seizing him by the shirt col lar, demanded to know, in nn angry tone, why he had ASSAULTED T itB JIO DANCEIi, Jlorgan did not volunteer a reply, but gave Diunon a Wow on tho nose, which caused tho blood to flow freely. Smarting from hia wound aud tho ignominy of being punched in view of a crowd, Dinnon commenced to kick vinleutiy. Morgan then drew a pocket knife, aud stabbed Dinnon twice, once iu tbo loft side (II the body just lielow tho heart, and ouco in tho right breast. Tho wounded man foil to tho ground, and klorgan, with tho blood stained kuife iu bis hand, attempted to escape. He succeeded •u running shout ono block aw.ay from whoro the Blabbing occurred, when ho was tripped by a young man named Johu IsthmM, Tta crowd immodiate'y left the side of tho injured man and surrounded his as- -ai'ant. Three mou seized liiin and hold him fast until tho arrival of Officer Blmuuflcid, of tbo Second Precinot. 1 n the custody of tho officer Morgan was taken to tho etali(.in house, corner of York and Jay streets, and there ho waa questioned by Captain Crafts. Ho admitted having stabbed Diunon, and before being asked sur. rendered the knife with which tho deed was done. It was an ordinary penknife, about two aud a half inches in length, aud had a bone handle. Morgan said tlist he did not intend to kill Dinnon, but that it was necessary to produce tho knifo in order to defend himself. Dinnon had interfered In a matter in which he had not the slightest interest, and tbo stab bing was, the prisoner tbougbt, a fitting punislimont for bis presumption. After making his statement, Din- nou waa locked up in a coll pending examination be fore Justice iVadsh this morning. In the meantime Dinnon had been carried to tho station house by Officer C'olgan, of tho Second Precinct, aud a citizen named Peter McGione. The ambulance was summoned, and in a short time one in charge of Surgeon Hatch arrived. After examining the wounds. Dr. Hatch decided to re move Dinnon TO. TIIE CITY HOSPITAL, on Raymond street, aa it was byno means certain that he. would recover. Tho doctor at tho Hospital thought the in jured mau to be ia a very critical condition, so much so that it was deemed injudicious to proceed with probiug tho wound in tho region of the heart. Dinnon passed a quiet night, and this morning, although stUl not out of danger, his condition had somewhat improved. It is Impossible, as yet, to state positively whether ho will will not recover, although the doctors at tho hosxiital do not seem to bo Impressed with lOO strong hopes for him. T H E P B IS O N E n '8 A B HA Ii'JNirEN T . At ten o’clock this morning Morgan was arraigned lieforo Justice Walsh. Tlio Courtroom was crowded with persons hailing from the Sscoiid Ward acquainted witli the facts in the case, aud there waa also a fair rep resentation of tho donlzouB of Jackson Hollow. Tho Court read tho complaint to tiie prisoner, and the latter pleaded not guiity. Ho repeated the assorlion made by liim to Captain Crafts last uigbt to the effect that he did not intend to kill Dinnon, but merely to prevent him from assaulting him, as he thought that by producing the kuile he would trighteu hia would bo assailant. T H E PIltSO N E B COM B flTTED. The Court decided to commit tbo prisoner to Raj-- moud street Jail pending tho result of Dinnon’e inju ries. Morgan has not iicon arrested before, although he did not enjoy the best reputation possible. Ho was ill the habit of visiting friends in the Second Ward every Sunday, and people living thoro say that he ia of a very quarrelsome disposition. Dinnon has lived in the Second Ward for years, aud liad numerous friends, some of whom are memliora of tho Assump tion young Mon’s Literary Association. Tho affair created intense excitemeut in the neighborhood, and It ia considered surprising that Morgan was not roughly bandied by the crowd, pending tlio arrival of tho officer. Captain Crane acted with h;s usual iirompt- ness in the m.itlcr. ^________ BE.YTIXG Tl!P. EXCISE. Hariilur Leviusky, tvho has a billiard room at No. 18 Ewen street, appeared to-day before Justice Kieh), charged with Laving sold beer williout a llecnee.

It bad been noticed that a customer would be seen drinking a beverage vcrymuchrosom- bling lager in appearance, and on occasions parties in the place have licon singularly exuberant over tho so called ginger ale dispeneed at tlie bar. An officer who visited the place in citizen altiro found that Levlnsky sold bottled lagar aud accordingly arrested the proprie tor for a violation of tliQ E xc I ho law.

Few Visitors but MucU Correspondence. Tho Slate Courention Still Discussed^ Irving Hall’s First Step Toward Har- . luony and Union—Grady’s Reports from (ho Southern Tier—What Tradiu^r May Amount to. Monday, never a particularly brisk day at the besdquMrtere, presented no exception to tha rule o-day. Tho morning’s mail was quite as Urge as usual but prosontod nothing but tUo repelllion of the or ganization accompllabed in various parU of the coun try. Qenoral Hooker, at tho Kepiibllcan National Headquarters said that the day was barren of news of general intorest. The visitors were few os waa to be expected on BJooday morning. At the Democratic Headquarters tho eamo atory waa told, but to it was added the roinark of Committeeman Smalloy who Is chairman of the Sub Comnilttoa on Speakers, who emphatically denied tbo otatement of the //£ra/d this morning tbai Democrats bad abandoned the campaign In Maine. Upon the contrary he said the Domoorats were heartily at work and the cry was stlU for more speakors. The correspondeuce was to tha end that the Democrats would carry Maine. However, notwithstanding the claims of the corres pondents of tho committee, it is not believed that the Democratic leaders really believe that the Democrats can achieve a victory in Maine and they will bo content with reducing lha majority of Republicans: Tbo action of the State Central Committee continues to furnish food for talk aud tliscuBsion. Some ner- vuosiieas is manifested upon tho part of some Demo crats over the DELAY OF THE COLBY COMMITTEE iu withdrawing a call for a convention The informa tion procured at tho headquarters of that committee In Park Row, waa that tho call woidd be ^vlthdrawn in a day or two. The matter waa loft to tho control of the Executive Commltteo, the members of wbich are scat tered over the State. To reach, of course, members re siding out of tho city, letters have been addreased, and, within a day or two, their answers ate expected. That the members will bo favorable to a withdrawal of tbo call no one doubts. Some little dissatisfoctiou is manifested by those who wero^receully in opposition to tho lato date set for the convention—the 28lh of September. The explanation of this is that if waa fixed at the urgency of the mem bers of the rural districts, who said that it would take more than two weeks to move their machinery, and that it would be impossible to chose delegates from those country districts short of three weeks, anyhow. These disaatisfaetions and grumblings will not amount to anything, however, as those who urge them are not strenuous. There is more importance to be attached to the discussions over the State Committee. The more conservative members of the Colb/ faction ore of tho opinion that the Faulkner Committee, as now composed, should not be disturbed, and w’ould overcome the difficulty of non representation of the incomers, by enlarging the committee j the extreme or radical element objects to this, upon the ground that it would create dissatisfaction In the country dis tricts to have New York represented by so many more in proportion to the population than their own. This element appeals to tho prejudlcos of Now York and Brooklyn, and says that it would be the establish ment of a very bad precedent for these two cities, since once established, the Convention—the majority of tho delegates to which are from the country—could follow it, and vote enough delegates from their districts to completely overpower tho members of the two cities. These persons say that tho present State Commit tee should not bo disturbed at all. That it will be far better not to Interfere with it in any respect; that tho Tammany recognition wiU be obtained n the convention, and no more would be gained by adding members to the SUto Committee; that the pres ent committee was apiioiuted to manage tbia campaign, and for one year, by resolution; that that was done on tho 20th of April last, and that, therefore, its term ox- pirea on tho ’iOth of April, 1881; that therefore a com mittee should be oppointod by the convention, which ie to meet on the 28tU of September, to servo from the 20tb of April until tlie meeting of the State Convention in tho Fall of 1881; that this would bo only fair to tha present State Committee, and only fair to tho reunited Democracy. Said one Democrat upon leaving, a Democrat who has adhered to the Tildea-Bobinson-Faulkuer element: “ ^Yoll, I c.^n see NO OBJECTION to that, BUreiy, if Hancock la elected these divisions and questions will settle them^olvos; if he isn’t it makes mighty little difference who has oontrol of the party machinery, for the control will amount to nothing and the people who have sacrificed the State, If it is sacri ficed, because of their personal ambitions, will be swept av.’sy into obscurity before the Indignation of tho people.” Mr. Colby, Chairman of tho Tammany State Com mittee, waa in town this morning aud said, in refer- onee to the action of the Faulkner Committee, that be “was satislied that it w'as tho proper Ihiug to do. Oar people,” laid he, \are well pleased with It. Wo sro ready to mako any conciliation for harmony and unity; to do many things that we probably ought not to do In a certaiu sense ; aud to do those, which the Republloan press will say are humiliations. But that Is nothing. The main thing Is to elect Hancock. I do not appre hend any trouble at the convention. There la nothing to mako any trouble over, and no ono to make it. How ever I do not want to talk- about thia now while things are in transit, so to speak.” The work uf tho committee is going forward in the accustomed way. General Faulkner la not in town, having loft for homo on Saturday. Mr. Fowler was in charge and said that the morning’s mail was the most satisfactory of the campaign, and showed that the can vass iu the State hadprogrcBBod ao far as to give asaur- sDces of large Democratic gains. The vote of 1876 would, he thought, be largely increased this year. This belief was based upon the reports of tho canvass. Tbis afternoon a step will be attempted toward a union between Tammany and Irving halls. At half past three an Irving Hall committee, appointed for the purpose, with power, will appoint a committee to meet a similar committee from Tammany, the appointment of which will >-e asked by Irving. The purpose of this pQjjfcrmxce committee is to discover If it Is not possi ble to arrive at soma satisfactory arrangement by which there shall be no dlvlsiona iu the Assembly, and Congressional elections. It is not understood that any other nomioationa than those for Assembly and Congress will be discussecl at this proposed meeting. Indeed the Irving Hall committee has not power to dis cuss others. It la looked upon, however, as the first step toward the accomplishing of a union ticket for the City of Now York. MB. T. F. OBADY came In tbis morning from a campaigning lour upon the southern tier of counties in this State. Ho reports the Democracy there as very enthusiastic aud as thor oughly united. Chemung and Steuben Counties wore strong for Kelly last Fall, and the Democratic split produced as much effect there as in any two counties in the State. Now Mr, Grady pronounces the Dcmocratlc'party as thoroughly closed up, and as worklug unitedly for tho common end. AtHomersville, wherel spoke on Saturday night, the meeting was aa large os any l have over attended outside of New York and Brooklyn. There ia in that town a population of 9,000, and iu tho parade there were 500 voters in line. The private rosi- dcucea and business places of tha Democrats were illuminated, and I should judge, after ride through tho town, that about nine-tenths of the population weto Domocrats. A prominent citi zen of Steuben Couuty, who was active in the Kelly movement, told mo that ho had labored hard for that movement loftt year, and now he was laboring to exactly •twice aa much In bringing votes to Hancock. At Cor ning, where I spoke the night previous, a much smaller town, it was tho same thing over again. I find in my journeyings over the State that the Republicans set down 50,000 as the majority with which they will come down to Spuyten Duyvol Creek. The Domocrats in tho interior are figuring on this basis, and are very auxioita aa to New York aud Brooklyn. Well, if the Republicans cannot got down to the creek with more thau fifty thousand majority. I can tell them that we will wipe that out alone in Sow York City, and have a little to spare to add to tho majority you will give us in Kings.” This remark led to a discussion of an effect tho fail ure to make a union ticket iu New York City. Said one of the bystanders, “ If there a Is not union of Tam many aud Irving Hails, there may be some trading.” “ ThaVa ALL NONSENSE,” replied Grady. It takes two to mako a bargain. Surely the man must bo blind who goes about New York City and does not see that the people are thoroughly awake and iu earnest about the election of Hancock. All other matters, all other candidates and all loca> Issues are subordinate in their minds to this groat Idea. Now Is it to be supposed that they will trade away the major for tbo minor advantage. It is absurd to talk of It. The trading does not amount to ooe-half that Is talked about. 1 know something about It, The poll- iticlans make their brags and may make their bargains, but they must appeal to the people for a ratification of it, and they cover yet have been auoccssful in trading away Electoral votes. It has not been done yet and is not likely to bo done at any time. Why look at the pampaigu of 1672, when we had throe candidates for Mayor running. Any one who knows anything about that campaign, must know that anything that could be traded off for O^Brien was traded. Every thing was bent to that end ; all sorts of bargains were made. *^Tbe idea is suggested that,” said another, <Hbat tho fear is not to come from running separate county and city tickets, but from having several candidates for Aldermen, when the candidates, being nearer the pec^ pie, will have ifiore influence In trading.” “No,” said Grady, “I am satlsflod that THE PEOPLE \7ILL NOT TBADB their electoral votes. They may something else, but nut their Presidential votes. But suppose they do. Did you ever figure up on the amount that can be traded 7 No ? Well, If you do, you will find that 200 votes to an Assem bly Distziot is an exceedingly large margin— exceedingly large. Now, bow much does that amount I d the City of Now York—4,800. Thia can’t be done; but if it could the amount would not give the Republi cans victory. Give yourself no alarm, however, there will be no trading iu New York City no matter whether there is a union ticket or not.” Mr. Grady leaves for Maine to-slght^ where ho will remain as a speaker unttl the day of election. At both of the headquarters there Is noticeable reticence with regard to Ohio, and it would appear as if both parties think they are engaging In a still hunt. The German element in that State is what ia giving the Republicans the most trouble, for tho reports are that the Democrats are making headway against them. A goutleman who came into tha State Headquarters (o-day announced himself as from Illinois, said that the Republicans must bo prepared for surprises in thatState. He said further that the Demo cratic organization tvaa far ahead of that tho Ropnblioans and were making many con- ‘verls. “Should tho Democrats carry Indiana,” said he, “as I have not the sliglitest doubt they will, the effect ou Illinois will be so great that 1 shall not be all Eurpriaed to ace n Domocrotic majority iu my State,” A D u ll D a y A b o u t tbo H a l l - S i u k i i i f f a C rib a t tb e Foot of S o u th S ix th Streotf £tc« Affairs about the City HoR were uansaally dull to-day. This waa owing to the rain and the absence of many of the officials and polItlciaDS. Tho corridors of the Hall and Municipal Building were oomparatlvaly deserted, and nothing of Inlereat was going on in tha public offices. It was decidedly a blue Monday, and everybody seemed to feel Its depressing ofifocta. Commissioner French remained at Shelter Island, but will he bsok to morrow. Corporation Counsel DeWitt also tarries aC that delectable spot, and hla aaeistaot, David Miller DoWitt, took ohaage of the Law Department. SINKING AOBIB. The New York and Brooklyn Ferry Company sank a crib at the foot of South Sixth street, where they are extending tboir ferry facilities, the crib extending un der water across the entire width of the foot of the street. Judge Cooke recently decided that^they had a right to tbe land under water half way across. The fact that the company intended to sink the crib was communicated to the Law Department on Sat urday, but the Corporation Counsel was una ble to take measures to prevent^tt in consequence of the absence of all the Supreme Court Judge from the city. Yesterday Secretary Northup, of the Department of City Works, telegraphed to Mr. DeWltt, at Shelter Island, who replied that tho aid of the police should have been invoked to prevent a violation of the Sunday Law and thus prevent tho works. Mr. DeWItt is BtlU at Shelter Island, but on hla return to-morrow will probably proceed against tbe company. HOW ABOUT THAT INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE? The fact that & Senatorial Commlltoe was appointed to Investigate the charges of bribery in connection with the passage of the One Bead Bill, seems to have been forgotten. Senator Schcoeder was the prime mover in this Investlgatlan business, but bo and bis parly col leagues have apparently lost all interest in it. Senator Astor is Chairman of tho Committee, but nothing has been heard from him or any of the other members, upon the sabjoct. Perhaps Mr. Sohroodor may he able to imparl some information when ho shall have returned from his Summer enjoyments at Shelter Island. ABBEABS OF TAXES.

Much indignation was expressed on all sides at the action of the Oovorn- ment in depriving them their hard earned monoy. Secretary Schurz was bitterly denounced, many of tho onumeratora holding him responsible for their troubles. The meeting'effected a permanent organixation by the election of James J, Armstrong as President, A. Wiogand, Seerotary, and H, H. Mann, Treasurer. Tho chairman announced that no communication had been received from Secretary ScUurz in answer to the peti tion sent him somo w’ceks since, in reference to tho sat isfactory adjustment of the claims of the onumorators. On motion of Mr. Mann, it was decided that at tbo next meeting subscriptions would be received for the purpose of sending a committee to Washington to con* for with tho authorities In relation to their claims. One gentleman present, being anxious to know what action the onumorators proposed to take, the president defined their position by saying: “Wo came here to protest against the stand tbo Government has taken. We have worked hard and deserve tbo pay which was promised us. Now It seems the Government only pays those who have a small number of names at the rate of two cents per name, while others who have a large number receive $4 a day, I am unwilling to be cheated out of my money, and will spend time and money, if necessary, to got justice. Tho object of tbis meeting is to get a uniform rate of pay for all, snd then all will bo satisfied.” A committee, consisting of A. Wiogand, 0. O’C. Brown, J. B. Tierney, K. Wipflor, A. Von Blomberg aud C. E. Spencer, waa appointed to wait on Congress men Cox, Morton and Wood and ask them to name a time at which they could confer with tho enumerators regard to their pay. One of the aggrieved enume rators here announced that a largo number had al ready received vouchors for their pay and a few had received their monoy. Upon (his state ment being made one excited Individual said he was unwilling to lose the $00, that tho Government wished to dodge, and would accept nothing but the full amount, and said, “I have starved or lived on nothing for the past three months, and I am willing to Tanner- i/.e for three months longer if necessary, but I am bound to have Justice.” Another ono said, “I beliovo our pay has been cut down because Congress has made no appropriation for the appointment of Supervisors and Doitod States Marshals, and Government ie short of funds for the campaign. I think It would bo well to OKGANIZE A HANCOCK CLUB at once, and I think all tho census enumerators would join and work against the Republican party, which has deprived us of our hard earned money.\ Thia speech created a little excitement, and the chairman called the Democratic enumerator to order. Another member was of the opinion that the Republloan party had nothing whatever to do with the payment of tho enu merators, and proposed to organize a Garfield club, but Ue was alBo called to order. At 11;S0 o’clock the meet ing adjourned, subject to tbe call of the oommittoe, wbich will wait on tho Now York Congressmen and then notify the other mombera by postal card of tho date of tbe next meeting, which will probably take place next week. _ COURT NEWS. S c o k i n i r D i s c l i a r g r e . George O, Mouroo applied this morning to Judge Barnard, in Special Term of the City Court, for an order to compel Captain J. N. Fagan, of Company B, Fourteenth Regiment, to deliver a certificate of hon orable discharge to the applicant. It appeared that Monroe enlisted In 1807, and say« that since 1874, when his term expired, at the request of his officer he con tinued to parade with the company. On the other side it is alleged that he owes dues and is nndor sentence of a Court ndartial. Docisioa was reserved. P r e i u a l i i r c l F D i s c l o s e d . It v.'BS rumored this morning that the at torney for Mrs. Catharine Schaffer had hastily begun a suit Against Mr. Antonius Tosorlero for breach of promise, and got an order of arrest. The judges knew nothing of tho matter, and no papers were on file, either inihe office of the <?ounty Clerk or of the Sheriff An E ao l b reporter was told by Mr. Tosoriero that he had beard nothing of it, and his lawyers, Messrs. Morris A Pearsall, woro In equal ignorance . The of fice of tho lawyers retained by Mrs. Schaffer In tha other suit against Mr. Tosoriero, was closed, as was tho office of tho lawyer who waa employed aa counsel. A suit is, however, expected, as Mr. Tosoriero is well to do. ______ _ _______ _ J o l x i i J . C h a r r i i a i i d ’s E s t a t e . It is oxpectad that proceedings will shortly be taken before tho Siirroijato of Kings County, with a view to the settlement of the estate of tbe late John J.

Tho Union Ferry Company has obtained a temporary InjuncUon in tho City Court ogalust the Atlautic Avenue Railroad Company, to restrain that corporation from putting down a switch and track in front of tho ferry house at tho foot of Fulton street. The argument os to whether tho Injunction shall be made permanent comes up next Monday. RAIDING THE LOTTERY AND POLICY MEN. Superintendent W alling has given addi tional ordorB to tUa Now York police to oouHnua their raids on policy shops, and further arrosle were mads to-day. This morning DotectlTo DII kb Inveeted a quar ter of a dollar in the office of John Edwards, at 394x Weal street, and no sooner had the unsnextecUng writer handed a slip of paper with some lead pencil cUaraoter^ at the tep, the J^mbore ^ 17, M, fP ’ than he arrested Edwards and took him before Justice Sfurray at the JeSerson Market Police Court. Officer Dllko said that ho went Into Edwarda' place, and writ ing down the three numbers said that he wanted to play In the Kentucky Lottery. Ho planked down a quarter, and having received bis paper arrested tho party. In about the same manner Detective Flanagan, Dllk’a aide partner, arrested Charles Barnes, of 636 Hudson streot, of whom he bought a paper purporting to be a ticket In the Kenluoky Lottery, on which was written 9-11-24. Barnes was also arraigned before Juetlo Murray, and doeplte tha ingenuity of counsel In behalf of tho prisoners bio Honor held them for trial for viola tion of the lottery law, firing bail at $600 each. Both gave ball and returned to their offices to continue their hutlness, and aa before remarked, that’s about all their arrest will amount to. Secretary Shermau Eipeoted to Open the Campaign in Brooklyn. Boys in Blue and Tow Boys Geltingr Beady for Work — Discussions at Headquar ters. There was a liveiy time at the Bopublioan Headquarters, in Plerrepont street, this moruiug'. Amoug the stalwarts is attoudauco were Albert Daggett, Joseph Rsove, General Oe Lacy, Edward F« Linton, Mr. Minlter, Ohairman Hobbs, Colonel Lewis R. Stegman and a dozen or twenty others, who flitted in and oat as actively SB though no diemo], drizzling rain were fall ing. The Kings County Republicans are evldontiy plucking up heart of graoo, Conversatlou with the leaders on the Bubjoot of the Demooratio ualoQ la New York brought out a general exprossiou of opinion to the effect that it woiRd stimulate tbe Republicans of Brooklyn to greater efforts. One of tha war horses said : “It will not have any appreciable offoet upon the looal campaign hero. It wUl only tsnd to show that we've a harder campaign to fight, and It vrill bring out the silent vote.” A DELEGATION OF BOYS IN BLUB waited upon the exooutive committee at 11 o’clock, and had a long oonferenoe ou the question of providing uniforms. There are two sets of organizations among the young Republlcaus of Kings—one being tho Boys In Blue, who are entitled by service in the army to enroll themselves as veterans, though in many cases the gray is neither In their hair nor their beards; and tbe other being tbe “Tow Boys,” who never served in the field, but arc anxious to serve in this campaign. Therefore, two organizations are considered to be necessary. The Boys in Blue have adopted a uniform, consisting of a blue coat with rod collar.cap of corresponding colors and a torch, and it waa decided this morning that the Ex- eoutivo Committee of tho Republican General Commit tee would defray tbo expenso of providing such uni forms, la case the companies organized should ask assistance. Some of them, it ia pretty well understood, however, will prefer to foot their own bills. Tho chances aro that the Exocntiv© Comiuittco will not bo called upon to spend a fortune in this direction. But the organizations are nearly complete In all tho w*ards. Tho NlnoteontU has two, aud Colonel Uegeman aaya they are lively. CAMPAIGN newspapers are muUiplying in tho Republican interest. One issued in New York, with the title of the Jiepiiblican Carnpai(;7i, “ lies around looso” at the Plerrepont street Headquarters—several hundred copies having been ordered by ex-3heriff Daggett for gratuitous dis tribution. Another has just appeared In New Lots— called The Jiepub/ican—edited aud pubUsUod by a New Lots lawyer, Mr. Wm. J. McIntyre, who la a rolativo of Mr. Linton, and is understood to bo backed by tho lat ter. Tho initial number of the Rfpuhitcan, dated on Saturday last, declares tuat “ nocoaaity for a third pa-' per in East Now York would have been obviated,” tf tho Bocesslou of tho editor of tho SoufOte^ from Garfield to Hancock had not taken place ; which shows that tbo editor of tho produced an l:rimedJBto and start ling effect. The editor of the new shoot was a eapiaiu in tbe Union army, and now owns a plantation in Flor ida valued at $10,000. THE WIGWAM AND DANNERS ore attracting a good deal of attention. It Is the pur pose of tho Executive Committee to break out with public demonstrations all over the city somowhoro be- twoon the 1st and 15th of September. The leaders still adhere to tholr theory that it isn’t worth while to begin the campaign too early. They profess to believe that tholr chances in this State w'ill improve as the cam paign goes on, and there was not a mau about head quarters to-day who waa not confident of a reaction that would benefit tho Republicaus. At any rate, au eruption of Garfield banners will aeon take place. Ex-Sheriff Daggett said ha had telegraphed to Secre tary Sherman, who was in Indiana, aud expected an immediate response from that gentleman as to his opening the campaign in Brooklyn. IN THE HEART.

A Dastardly and Cruel Murder ou Atlantic Avoiine on Sunday Morning—Stabbed to Death for Actiiiff as the Escort to Two lYomon of Questionable Reputa tion-Narrow Escape of Mr. Harward’s Companion from a Like Fate—Arrest of Two of the Principals iu the Assassina tion—Full Details of tlie Tragic Affair. A cruel and deliberate nmrdor, for which there waa scarcely the shadow of provocation, occurred yesterday morning, between two and three o’clock, at the corner of Bond street and Atlantio avenue. The victim was George C. Harward, the lawyer, wboeo shooking taking off will excite deep regret among a large circle of friends, to whom be had endeared him self by hifl manly and kind disposition and many esti mable traits of character. The tragedy naturally cre ates a feeling of Intense indignation in (he community, already shocked by many such occurrences. The instru ment of death was a kulfe, probably an ordinary pook- etknlfe, and the murderer made sure of his bloody work by pluncing the blade right into the heart of his victim to the depth of nearly two Inohca. Life flickered only for a few minutes, and tha victim expired without real izing probably what had struck him, Peter J. Larkin, of No. 167 Bergen street, ♦ho was his companion on the fatal night, and stood by him In tho deadly strug gle, was also murderonsly attacked, reoalvlng throe stab wounds, two in the back snd ono in the neck. The weapon used In the latter case was not, it is thought, as formidable as that which went to Harward’a heart, othorwlso it would, In all probability, bo necessary to ohronlole a double murder, or Larkin may owe his life to the fact that tho knife waa not used In bis case with soch diabolical ferocity as lu that of his unfortunate companion. The police acted with credible prompti tude and activity, and it is a matter for congratulation that the parties responsible for the dastardly crime are under arrest. THE CIRCUMflTANOES ATTENDING THE MURDER are aa follows: Mr. Ilarward’s wife aud two children, a boy and A girl, have been at Lloyd’s Neck, L. I., for a few weeks, sod feeling lonely on Saturday evening, Mr. Harward left his residence at No. 479 Dean street, and made severol calls in some places where he was acquainted. He was of a warm, social disposition and could go nowhere in the city without meeting friends. Ho had been in several saloons around the Hall, but as ususj drank light beverages, and was not under tho influeuco of liquor. About half past twelve o’clock bo passed Kltehen’s drug store, at tho jnncllon of Washington and Fulton streets, and seeing Captain Alox Sam- uells, who had just returned from Colora do, Inside, entered and had a pleasant chat with him. Ho said ho was well acquainted with tho country from which Captain Samuells had re turned, and had fully made up his mind to go there in a few months. He said that ho had an uncle at Lead- vilte, and that ho had been encouraged to go on there and practice hla profession. He waa in high spirits and spoke hopefully of his prosperity in the far West. Accompanied by Mr. Larkin, ho then walked up Fulton street to Bond, stopping once or twice on hia way to talk with some friends they met. They proceeded along Bond street to Atlantic avenue, and on turning the corner mot two women, of whose characters tho po lice do not speak highly, named Lizzie Burke alias “Red Liz,” of 173 Novics street, and Jane Bond, alias “Southern Bell,” aMas “American Girl,” of No. 106 Navy street. The women wore leaning against tho fence of tho Second (Uaitod) Presbylorlan Ohnroh, at the above corner, aud aa Harward and Larkiu passed by made somo remark, which at tracted the attention of the latter. Whatever was said the Impression waa left on the mind of Larkin that tho women wore afraid of some men on the oppo site side of the street and needed protection. However this may have been, Harward and Larkin started off with the girls, having first purchased a small pan of pork and beans at an eating house near the corner. Tho four then proceeded along Bond street to State and thence up State to Novins, again turning into Atlan tic avenue aud walking toward Bond streot, where they at first met. During their journey around the block they had been followed by tho parties, four in number, to whom roforenca has boon already made, and of whom the girls seemed to be afraid. Seeing these men a short distance away they crossed to the other side of Atlantic avonno, standing in from of Koehler's butcher store, whore the tragedy occurred, Just as Harward and Lar kin wore in the act of going south toward their houses, the four men crossed the street and when aU the par ties came together A FIERCE QUARREL almost immediately onsuad. “What are you following us for?” demanded Mr. Harward, **You know what wo are following you for, you - --------- »” responded one of tho gang, Tho girls, seeing that thoro waa trouble brewing, movod off a short way. It was tho work of a moment for Harward and ono of tho other parties to bo engaged la a fight, both of them having taken off their coats almost Immediately after the first angry word was spoken. There were not, however, more than two blows exobanged by the two men, but one of them had the effect of causing Harward to stag ger and fall, throwing up bl* hands aa be did 80 and {exclaiming, •“ I'm slabbed, I’m stab bed.” Larkin had already struck the man with whom Harward was fighting, aud had himself been cut from behind by one of the other throe rufllaas. Seeing Harward lying on tho sldewa’k and being con vinced that he was badly hurt, Larkin called for the police at the top of his voice. Officer Ghristnphor Doyle, of tho Third Precinct, corner of Hoyt street and Atlantio avenue, and hearing tho shout, went in the direction indicated and at tho same time knocked on tho sidewalk for aaslBlanco. ’When Doyle reached the spot, Harward waa lying on the sidewalk, his life ebbing quickly away from THE GASH IN HIS HEART. The officer,however, had no suspicion that the case wts so serious, but thought that It was an ordinary street brawl. Seeing that Larkin was excited, ha supposed that he was a principal lo the fight, and placing his hand on his arm as if to arrest biro, said: “Who’s doing this fighting?” Larkin quickly explained the sUnatioa to tho officer, saying: “These men attacked us for DO * cause, and there’s the man that struck mo, pointing to a man named Thomas Tierney, of No. 450 Atlantio avenue. Tha officer then let go of Lar kin, and, UklDg bold of Tierney, who was In the act of moving away, “ Stop here, now, I want you.” Tierney then turned to look after Jffio prostrate man, over whom Larkin was bending, blood was pouring fast from th® wound in his heart and hJs clothing WAS saturated with the aaugalnous fluid, “ He's dying I” exclaimed Larkin, stooping down and^ holding up the head of his Hi fe^<^ friend. Officer Doyle, then toalizlng the Importance of tho case, asked Harward if he knew tho man who stabbed him, * when ho turned hia face, now almost p»Jo dsath. toward Tierney and said, “ Ho Is one of tne men who assaullod mo.” Upon this Tierney quickly drew off and ran away. He waa hotly pursued by Officer Early, who, wUh several other officers, had already reochou Ihespo , and after a chaiio of a bloc^ or bo wah captured. He brought back to tho spot, but Harwar^ was by this time unconscious and the prisonor could not bo identl fled any further than be had been by his viotlra. Har- word was placed In a wagon which was in front of the bntcher store and taken to the station house, but be fore reaching it ho was a dead man. Officer Doyle was at the wagon whon Harward breathed his last, hut did not know that be - ;as dead until the station house was jroaohed. Tho body of the unfortunate man was placed on a stretcher and carried to tho prison corridor. Sergeant Henzy Eellett, who was in command of the precinct In tho absence of Captain Loavey. was at once notified and took prompt steps to have tho case worked np. Tlornoy, on being brought to the station bouse, was searched, but no kuifo or other weapon was found in his possession. The sergeant sent somo men to search the street where the row occurred and before daylight A. DOUBLE BLADED POCKET KNIFE with a brown b&ndle waa picked up from the gutter. Tha blades wore closed but on the large one, nearly four inches in length, there were traces of what seemed to be blood, and it is believed the knife is tho one with which Harward was stabbed. It should be remarked that on the oPPi’Oach of the offi cers, in reaponee to the colls of Larkin, tho two girls moved off, fearing, probably, that they would got Into trouble. Sergeant Eellett woe soon able to fix tholr identity, and In a few hours both of them were under arrest. Their statements bear upon matters prior to the fatal encounter, and do not throw any light on tho actual occurrence. Both profess to have been ignorant of all tbe parties, and say that they have no knowledge of the man who did tbe stabbing. It was ten o’clock yesterday morulug before Sergeant Eellett could oscertaiu positively the names of the three men who were with Tierney. Oue of them was Walter g. Best, of No. 506 Atlantio avenue,whose arrest was not accomplished until after 2 o’clock In tho after noon. Best knew that ho was wanted and evidently was anxious to skip away. Detective Roche, however, cov ered him so effectually that bis plans were upset aud at tho time mentioned he was arrested os ho waa in tho act of goiug down tbe basement steps of Roblusou’s soda water factory, in Atlantio avenue, where he waa em ployed. Ue is 35 years of age and has a wife and two children. Tierney is 25 years of ago, la also married and has two children. He is employed as porter In J. W. Mills’ store, at No. 255 Pearl street, Kew York. He is a medium sized, wiry built man, with smooth face, high cheek bones and dark hair. His expression iudi- oatOB brutoUty, although tho police are nut aware that he waa ever in auy serious troublo before. The two prlsoQors were locked up in separate cells and no one waa allowed to communicate with thorn. Both bore slight ovideucos of tbo row they had been in, there beiug knuckle bruise on Tierney’s forehead, and Best having black eye. WHAT TIERNEY BAYS. The prisoner, Tierna/, was taken to Police Headquar ters yesterday forenoon, and questioned by Acting Nu- perintendent Waddy. His first answer was, “I was not engaged in this affray.” ‘‘Where were you ?’* asked the Superintendent. “Well,” he answered, “on Saturday night I was going round from place to place, with some friends, drinking, but at a late hour wo separated and I was going home. When I was on the corner of Boud street and Atlantic avenue, I saw two men with two girls; aud they started aoroes the street with them, I noticed three men following them. I foUowod on be hind. Boon after that they all came together and wont to fighting, and that la a'.l 1 know about tbe affair. 1 kuew two Of the parties who wore following tho men and girls, and the third one I did not know.” The prisoner gave the names of the two parties. His story is of course discredited. It will bo shown that he was in the company ef the other three men all the oveolng, and that they had been driuklng together. MB. L arkin ’ s statement . Mr. Larkin gave the following version of tho affair to tbe reporter; “It was between one and two o’clock in the morntog when we were on our way home. When we reached the oorner of Boud and State streets we sawthos»two women. There were thee or four rough looking men following them, and the women indicated that they would like our proteotion. We oroBsed tho street and spoke to them, and wo all walked up to Atlantio avenue. There vro stopped a momeut, and Harward then turned and asked tho follows: ‘What are you following us for V One of them then came up to me and struck me and I returned the blow. Then the man who struck me assaulted Harward, aud a second came up and struck him also. I struck him in tbo face, and I think 1 left my mark on him. (Both Tierney and Best have marks on their faces.) We exchanged some blows, ond in the excitement I did not notice Harward until I heard him cry, “Murder, I'm stabbed,” aud saw him start to run. He had only proceeded a short distauce when ho sank down. I etarted to pick him up, but when I leaned over him I found I was so w'eak that 1 could not raise him. I felt something like water run- niug from my neck, and on putting my hand up I found that It was blood, and that was the first 1 knew I was stabbed. I pointed out the men who as saulted us, but they fled. If Tierney is ono of tho men whom I pointed out, he is one of tho men who did the stabbing. They wore all strangers to me, and tho assault was unprovoked, as no offcnBlvo re marks were made by us. The first I knew my friend had been killed was whon I got to the station house and was having my wounds dressed.” VYHAT THE GIRLS SAY. Acting Superintendent Waddy sent fur tho two glrU who woro mixed up in tho affair, this morulug, and had a long interview with them in bis private office questioning them separAtely. Both of them exhibited an iucllnation to tell tho truth and not conceal any of the facts which passed under their observation. They spoke of the meeting, of tholr request for the protection of Harward and Larkin, of tho walk round the block and tho manner in which they were dogged by tho other parties. They witnessed the sHsault of tbe Ifitter on tho two men who had escorted them and spoke of it aa a brutal and cowardly oue. Harward, one of them says, was knocked down and kicked, and she saw one of his assailants, who bad his coat off (Tierney is known to havo taken off bis coat), ou top of him, while the others kicked him about his body. Ono of the girls positively identified Tierney- os being iu tho muss, and the other with like positiveness identified Best, each of them giv ing accurate descriptions of the respective men and the clothing they had on. So far, there is no one who can swear to having seen a knife used, but all tho facts point toward Tierney or Best as tho perpetrators of the shocking orimo. Superintendent Waddy has been working on tbe case with bis accustomed skill and per severance, and is satisfied that although two principals in the affair aro still at largo, tho case will be satisfac torily worked np and tho crime brought home.to the perpetrator. Superintendent Waddy, in addition to the Butler street officers, who wore well managed by Sergeant Eellett, had all the headquarters squad engaged on tbe case, and after a long search suc ceeded in getting on the track of tbe two fugitives,who are together, and will be run down without doubt in a short time. The Superintendent wlU not admit that there is any obanoe of their escape. Two additional arrests were made yeeterday afternoon and evening. Tho prisoners were Joseph Hurley, of No. 114 Smith streot, and Robert Drain, of No. 395 At- lantio avenue. They are held as witnesses merely, but it is not believed they can throw any additional light ou the tragedy. WHO THE DECEASED WAS. Hr. Harward was about 34 years of ago, and nas resided In Brooklyn for tbe greater part of his life. He was respectably connected and remarkable for bU qulot and good naturod disposition. There wore low young men in the city who had more friends or were generally better liked. Aslfar as known he bad not an enemy in the world. At the beginning of the war he served as a drummer boy in the Fourtoouth Regiment, and subsequentiy en listed In a Now York regiment as a private. He re mained at tho front until the close of tho war, and then enlisted lo tho regular army and served In two Indian campaigns in the Far West. Upon rekuruiog to Brook- lyn he studied law in tbe offices of ex-.Tudgo Troy ond Henry C. Place, who woro then partners. When (he firm dissolved Harward became an assocU ate of Mr. Place, but a year or so ago he started lu Dusinesa for himself at No. 361 Fulton street. His wife and two small children have been at Lloyd's Neck, on the Island, for a few weeks. Coroner Simms sent a dispatch to his wife yesterday afternoon, calling her back on account of a sad accident to her husband. His aged mother and a sister to whom ho waa greatly 'attached reside In Noetrand avenue, and when tho terrible news was broken to them yesterday, their grief knew no bounds. The body of deceased remainod at the Butler street station house till 3:30 P. M. yeaterdiiy, and many of bis late friends called and viewed tho remains, turn ing away with sad hearts from tho apectaole. Among those who called wore Assistant District Attorney Wernberg, who was a very dose friend of the de ceased, and Counselor Place. Both of thorn wept like children whon they thought of tho cruel fate which had befallen their dead friend. MB. HENRY 0. PLACE, « former* law partner of deceased, said; “ Geargo O, Harward was first employed by me in 1859, when he entered my office, No. 229 Broadway, Now York, as office boy. He remained with me until my re moval to Brooklyn, when he started out West and went to Denver, Colorado. O n his return from Denver he was employed by the firm of Moore & Place, of this city, * and continued with them until they dissolved partnership. He then at tached himself to tho firm of Troy & Place, and re mained in their eftiploy until the firm became extinct. In January, 1375, he became my partner, and remained as such until tho first of May, 1877. By mutual con sent we dissolved partnership, and then Harward opened his office at No. 381 Fulton etreot. During tho whole time I knaw him, I always found him to bo up right, conscientious, warm hearted, as kind as posalhie, and of a qulot end peaceable disposition. I was warmly attached to him, and sincerely regret hia untimely death. His poor widow will bo heartbroken when she learns the dreadful news. He was greatly attached to Early In tho motniug, Mr. Poran, a city undottakor, waa notified to remove tho body, but, as it is alleged, he paid no atUontlon whatever to tbe call. The friends of tho deceased, as soon as Coroner Simms had im paneled the jury, summoned Mr. Henderson, the undertaker, and the body was removed to his estab- lishmont, at No. 62 Myrtle avenue, where a post ■mortem will bo made to-day by Dr. A. W. Shepard. Tho orrangemontfl for the funeral will not be perfected until the return of hla wife, this evening. BEST MAKES A STATEMENT. The prisoner Best wm intervlowod by acting Super intendent Waddy this morning. He is a member of tho Thirteenth Regiment, and ia evidently tho most intelli gent of the prisoners. Ho betrayed great nervousness, end made several important admissions. He said ha was In tho fight, and that a bruise he reoelved on tbe temple waa given by Larkin, while ho was endeavoring to prevent one of hla friends from fighting. His state ments are contradictory. He skates that Harwafd took off hlB coat when the fight began, os did one of tho oth- er combatants. Mr. T. H.

To tha Rditor of the Broojelyn EagCa: Aitiiougil a hundred mtiefl from where your E aolk plumes its wings, it greets me at the breakfast table tho morning after it leaves its nest, affording pleasant and instructive entertainment to myself and friends, whose temporary souluslou deprives us of our Moustomed quantity of newspaper literature and makes the E a g l e doubly accoptable. In the delicious atmos- phero of this qulot retreat, where mountain and valley oballengo constant admiration, while voice of birds and murmuring forest loavea fill tho air with a tender melody that dl^posea the mind lo Eentiments of Chris tian charity, one is not prone to be critica} of the malice or foUy that will obtnids iteolf upon public «t- tenti^ through tho columns of tho public press A “ Veteran of the War for tbe Union ” relieves bis ovorburdeued soul in s paragraph In last eveninc's E agle , In which, 1 am half persuaded, he designed to say eomethlng uncomplimcntery of me. Bo that as jt may, under the soothing influences mbora adverted to I am indisposed to quarrel on my own account, and should hare passed “ Veteran ” sa newspaper readers do hundreds Hko him who have a ehildlsh ambition to BOQ their compositions in print. But a few words In tho article excited my suspicion that the w rlt^ Is some one who was dismlseed tbe servlco, or a sutler who was caught cheating the boys and whom Hancock had or dered drammed cut of camp. Evidently he haa a grudge against Cteneral Hancock, and haa adopted thia oovort mode of getting even with him. If a man has anything to Bay against oaothor, I be lieve in coming out squarely and boldy and facing the consequences, and I cannot but despise the cowardly WTotcb who, under a false title and In pretense of praise, distills tha fatal venom of bis pnalllanlmous soul. In all the heat and passion of this cam paign I havo nowhere heard or read so injuriona an imputation upon General Hancock—upon his ability as a soldier and hia success os a commander— as Js implied In “ Yoteran’s ” assertion that “ tbo rebel guerilla Mosby and tho rebel Longstreot trailed Han cock's flag o'er many a bloody field.” I dononneo this as a slander upon the fair fame of General Hancock. I denounce it in the name of tbe Boys in Blue, who have never yet permitted tho glorious old flag to be thus in sulted, and who cannot belloye that Oenoral Hancock has. And, finally, I call upon “ Veteran” to come forth as soon as he has sufficiently recovered from bis effort of yesterday, and vindicate himself, if ho can, before an Indignant peonlo, by telling them when and whore Hancock allowed hla flag to be thus ‘•trailed” by these notorious rebels, and what kind of a flag it was, and all the circumstuDCCB ationdiug tbo disgraceful traneau- tion.

Not Satisfied with the Pre.sent Arraiigre- meuts — A Coiuuiuiiication from tlie Deacous of the Bedford Avenue Baptist Church—General Jourdan Well Ag'ain. General Jourdan returned to the city this morning, having entirely recovered from tho effects of the accident which happened to him. He proceeded at once to headquarters, and for a couple of hours waa closeted with Deputy Commissioner Uichards. transact ing police busineas which bad accumulated during hia absence, Messrs. Colell and Stears, Exdise Commis sioners, were on hand busily engaged in dfsposing of excise cases. About noon, a delegation of the Brewers’ Protective Union, lately organized, visited the Com missioners, and had a long discussion on the present situation of Excise affairs. Among tbe delegation wore t Messrs. Scharmano, Liebiuami, Zipp, Becker, Fernbach, Manlin, Dalger and Counselor Falos, the legal representative of the Wi'iiamsburgh Brewing Company. Mr. Liebmann and Mr. Sharman were the spokesmen for the delegation, and took occasion to make a vigor ous protest against the late action of the Board in fix ing tho rate of first class licenses. Mr. Sharmaun said that the wholesale reduction in tbe number of first rlasfl licenses contemplated would have the effect of working serious injury to the brewing interest and an immense annoyance to those engaged in tho sale of beer. He admitted that the holders of beer licenses would “sell hard stuff by hook or by crook,” and thus expose themselvea to serious troublo. General Jourdan was not present during the luterriew, bis time being completely occupied with police matters, but Messrs. Colell and Stears stated that no change in the present arrangements could bo promised. Tho Commissioners wore determined lo observe the law In every particu. lar, and to act for the best interests of the city. They wished It to bo understood that no steps would be taken to oppress or barrass those engaged in tho liquor or beer buBiness, but at tho same time tbe law as it ex ists would he strictly, impartially and temperately en forced.

In every Instance a careful invealigatloa was made, and no licenso was issued until the CommUsioners satisfied themselves that there was no valid objection. General Jourdan was indignant when informed by Controller Stolumetz of tha action of ex-Police Com missioner Leich in defacing tho payrolls of the depart- ment which had been sent to tho Mayor’s office. It was an outrage, he thought, that any private citizen should bo allowed to perpetrate such an act. Controller Steinmetz was equally emphatic In hie denunciation of the action of Loich.

Some of the Canseg for the Delay—A Splenflid Class of Material Used—The Guys tor the Bridge Arrlrlag. Colonel William H. Paine retnmed from MMvalo aud Effgemoov on Saturday wiCU the welcome latelligoncd that tbe Bdgeznoor Iran company, which holds the contract for furnishing tbe ete^ truseea for Cho Bttspended superstructure of the Rost River Bridge, would begin the shipment of material this week, and that arrivals may be looked for the latter part of the H’cek. Borne of the smaller trusses wilt be first shipped, and the larger pieces will follow, Tfih deliveries were expected to cominonco early in tbo Summer, but Tari- ous things have contributed to tho delay, and bow , when the Bummer U about over, the steel-hegine to-ar rive, The CAUSES FOR THE DELAY arc manifold: The contract woe given ont S'year'sgov and was placed at a very advantageous figure for the» trustees. It was given just before tbe rUe in. Iron— and at a time when the price woe at about the loweet Owing to difficulty with reference to tbe bridge appro priations, It waa decided by the trustees to call for only a portion of the oontrset. It was agreed that 500- tons of material should he delivered, and then tbo contrac tors were to be notified by May 1, 1880; whether they were to go on and fill the hslance-of tbe contract) the total quantity being about 5,000 tons. In April lost the bill Increasing the Bridge appropria tion to the amount neeesaary to complete the structuro become a J aw , and the Bdgemoor Iron Company wore at once notified to proceed with the completion of the contrict. It appeared that not mneh bad been done toward getting tbe necessary plant ready. The steel is made by the Cambria Company, of Johnstown, Ps., and the Edgemoor Iron Company obtains It from them, in bars or “ blooms,” and rolls U into tho shapes ro-- quifcd. It was hoped that tho oontraclora would begin to deliver material within a lew weeks, aud that a good stroke of work could be done during the Summer months tow’ard putting up the suspended superstructure. It was found, however, that the fiUlng of the coatraet presented several dlfflcuUioa which had hardly been anticipated. In tha first place, some of tho sUapoe were larger than had ever been used in the manufacture of trusses. It was necessary to have now rolls for rolling tho beams. It was a long timo before the order given by the contractora for rolls could (>c filled, os tho shops of the country where tho order could bo filled wore crowded with other work. Then it waa necessary to erect a new sot of sheers for cutting the enormous seven by eight inch steel blooms, and special machinery and engines wero needed for that. The magni tude of the work brought up new pro blems that bod to be met and solved, and difficulties were constantly pretjeuthag themselves. Here was the biggest eteei bridge in the world, and calling for trasses, in wliich were beams larger and of different shapes than had ever been made. All these things, it was now claimed by the company caused delays, and (hey say they have rushed tho work forward as fast as possible under the circumstaucss. Tiiey had a contract for snotbor bridge to construct, in tbe shop, and they havo been rushing that forward to get it out of tho way of the East River Bridge work, so that the whole force in tbe shops can be put upon tho latter. WHAT COLONEL PAINS SAYS. In speaking of the matter this morning, Colonel Paine, who has charge of tho work, said the Edgemoor Company has shown from the first a desire to push the work forward as much as possible, and to avoid de- taya as much as they could. The.other bridge contract will be out of the shop this week. Already a good deal of steel hag beou rolled, and the aim of the company appears to have been to so manage the work that when the deliveries do begin, they can be kept up. Tha Cambria Company which furnlshs the steel has about 1,000 tons ahead of the Edgemoor Company, co there will be no delay in that direction. li was to be regretted, Colonel Paine said, that the delays should have happened. If tbe luaterlsl could have been received early in the Summer the super- structure would now bo w’oll advanced. Oue thing, however, the Colonel said is a subject for very groat satisfaction, and that la the superior quality of the steel which Is used. The tests are very eatia- factory, and prove that the Bridge trusses will be efi the best quallly of steel. Ono advantage to be gained Is that the trusees will come rapidly when the deliveries begin, and will en able tbe engineers to push forward tbe work in putting up the superstructure at several points, and no delay will be caused by a lapk of material.

A train cousmting of six passenger cars started from Long Island City at U o’clock A, M. It was Intended to take on three more cars at Woodhaven, ou the mala lino of the Long Island Kailrond, by a ‘Hying Bwltcb.” Thia waa done by allowing the train from Long Island City to wait on tho track at Woodharan, while tha three care from the train that started from Flatbiish avenae were disconnected from a trata in motion and allowed to run up to tho rear, to bo coupled on the Long Island City train that was standing on the track, so that the nine passenger cars could be taken to Rockaway. Owing to somo mlBcalculatton tn applying tho brakes, tho three care from the Flatbneh train were allowed to rush on tho rear of th» other train with great force, snd they caused a savera shaking np of all the passengers, over five hundred in number. Those in ths Long leland City train were leas shocked, for they wore, for tho most part. In their seats. Many passengers iu ths cars of tho Flatbuah avonne train had thotr heads out of tha windows, having a curiosity to see tho train on the now road to Rockaway Beach. Many also had gone out on tbo platforms for the same purpose. AH these were greatly frightened, and more or lees bruised. Tha windows of tha car wore broken into smail pieces. Tho car was crowded with passengers, who wero tosaad in every direction. Many wore cut with the flying glass, and others suffered severe bruises by striking against tho woodwork. A panic followed, and all tuahed for the car platforms. Many ladies fainted. When It was seen that there was no farther danger quiet was restored. It waa found that eighteen persons wore more or less Injurod. A little girl waa painfully out across the temple by glass. A doctor who was on the car bound up the wounds of tho sufferers. The train went on to Rockaway. Several of tho injured at once returned lo the city. . „ . Tho train on tha New York, Woodhaven and Rock- away Balltoad, which started from Rockaway with ten cars at 6 o’cloek last evening and reached Woodhaven at? ran bito a land slide between Glendale Junction and' -Woodhaven. Tho accident was tn a out ISO feet long and from 12 to 15 feet deep. The ground where the slide occurred was very dry, and tho ehower of yesterday afternoon caused it to fell on the track, l^ e train hands at once set to work to ehov.l the Mrth from tho rosrt. Meanwhile other trains from Kock- away collected in tho rear, so that about 1,800 or 2,000 passengots were delayed. After a stoppage of ap hour end a half the forward train waa pushed through.
