a ~ oe NEWS FROM THE STATE CAPITAL, Whe Fever ox the Senatorial Question— Anxiety o the Politicians—Commotion Over a ‘ommunication from the Vire ginia Fegislatare—Funds Belonging to the Uyited States, dic., dice Auanr, Feb. 1, 1961. ‘There is an effort being made this morning by the Bvartpmen to get the caucus postponed until Monday vers. They are especially down on the snap judgmo the bas been taken on them by calling it on Saturday apht, as a number of their friends are away; besides, it als off an arrangement that they have made for as- sistance from the reserved forces of their army which ‘Weed always brings up at tho last hour. A peti- tion bas been extensively circulated this morning, esking the committee to reconsider their action and call ‘the caucus for Monday evening. Nearly sixty members signed the petition to change the call, but the Senate ‘ommittee refused to back down,and at the hour of ‘writing this there is no prospect of a change in the hour of holding the caucus. It has caused a great deal of flat- tering and no small amount of uneasiness as to the result, ‘and that very act may encompass the defeat of Weed in ‘the contest, for the only thing that he wants is a little time, and he will secure the nomination of William M Evarts as sure as the caucus meets. His men are on band from all parts of the State, and are exceedingly ‘active. It will be a wonder if eventhe pressure that is Bow brought to bear on the members, does not settle the qustion in favor of Evarts even to-morrow night. All the State officers, except Campbell, are working like troopers for Evarts. Moses H.Grimnell and John A. King have algo taken the field, and are marshalling their forces in the same work. Then there is @ no amall army from Gifferent portions of tho State. There is Thomp- gon, of Leroy, Genesee county; Pomeroy, mem- ‘Der of Congress from Seward’s district, the per- son to whom Littlejohn owes his election for Bpeaker; FE. ©, Johnson and Delafleld Smith, of New York, in connection with a large number of others who are constantly on active duty. In any ordinary fight, ‘with the army of assistants, sappers and miners, there ‘would be no possible chance to defeat the Albany chief; ‘but this is an extraordinary contest; the like has not ‘been seen in this quarter before. Weed had a hard fight six years ago upon the same question, when he succeeded fo splitting the American party; but then he was pushing forward a man whom the eatire republican party @emanded, and now he is backing a man that bas no strength with the people. The moment you cross that Jumping off place, the Cayuga bridge, he‘ finds it uphill business to stem the tide. Weed is going to succeed in this contest; if not on one ‘man it will be on another, and Iam satisfied that he has hie arrangements all made to transfer his forces to a third man if it becomes necessary to prevent a Waterloo defeat. There are strong indications morning that it ‘will not be necessary for him to leave Evarte and take up apy other man, The contest is no boys’ play, and one ‘that is drat out the forces on both eides to its fullest extent; but feed bas the advantage of his opponeats. knows his men in all parts of the State and who to summon to accomplish the work desired. His ‘aid.de-camps are men that have stood beside him fm many a hard fought battle, during which he has hhad an opportunity to test their valor and power on many a battle field, and can rely upon them now, it mat- ters not how bitter they fight. The reported change from Greeley to Evarts makes nomination sure on the third or fourth ballot. These changes may not have all taken , but some of them I know to have been mato, and ve ho reagon to doubt but that others are in the same Met. Evarts, this morning, states that there is more than enou; Posten i rpg secure his nomination, and that he is pert ~. sure of being the successor of William ioe mi ut ieee the other ne ag nal they are cont it some! is going to be wed. Ray- Mond ie hero and hard at work: m ‘The House was thrown into a commotion th's morning Dy a message from the Governor, transmitting messages from t e Governors of three or four of the Southern ‘Btates, ee. by the order of their several Legisla- tures, the Littlejohn resolutions, recently adopted by doth branches of’ thig Legislature, under tie excitement of the events in regard to the Star of the West and the bo mersage President Buchania to Congress, resolutions request that no such resolutions be again sent to them. A sharp debate took place as to what dispo- sition should be made with them. One wanted to lay them on the table, another to refer them tw the Committee on Fodergl Relations, and still others to return them to the States from which they omanated. They wore, however, after a short debate, laid on the table, the way ali such Fegolutions are disposed of. ‘A motion was made by Mr. Fish, of Montgomery, to exclude the communication from Virginia from the Jour- nal of the House. This was favored by Messrs. Prince, Birdsall and Wright, and opposed by Messrs. Robinson, Hyland and Cozans. The motion was, however, adopted by a large vete. The communication will not, therefore, be entered upon the Journal of the House. There was a great deal of feeling manifested throughout. Some of the republicans got on their digaity and felt themselves insulted, They do not consider, however, that people South of Mason and Dixon's line have feelings like the restof the human family, and if the republicans feel in- Bulted at the return of the resolutions, have not the South ‘@ good reason to be excited under tho raids against them? But little else was done in the House of $mportance. Several bills were reported from the committee, among which was the bill to appoint referoos in the First judidial district. This was reported ad- versely to. An anti-Rent bill was also reported, under the title to prevent involuntary servitude in the State. ‘This is the new shape that element of controversy has turned up in our midat. Several bills were read the third time and passed, but mostly of a local nature and of no general importance. Aside from the commotion on the message from the Governor, with the communication from the Southern States, nothing transpired worthy of note. ‘The regular bill providing for the maintenance of the canals of the State, paseed the Senate this morning. This fs simply meeting the provisions of the constitution, and 46 the same that hus to be passed every year, as a mat- ter of form. Senator Manierro offered the following, which was laid over under the rales:— Whereas, by the thirteenth section of an act, entitled an act to regulate the deposits of public money, ap- | pa the 28th of June, 1836, the sum of $4,014,500 75, gn to the United States, was deposited for safe keeping; and whereas this State, by an act of the Legislature passed on the 10th day of January, 1837, agreed to receive the said money on deposit, aad invio: lably pledged the faith of the State for its safe keeping ‘and repayment whenever the same should be required by the “ecretary of the United States Treasury ;and whereas, fm the present distarbed condition of the country, it ts the duty of this State, by all possible eilorts, to support the authority of the federal government and custain its credit; and whereas it is believed that the aforesaid deporit of money with this State may be instrumental fm sustaining the public credit by pledging it as security for the repayment of a loan by the United States to tho amoxnt of such deposit; Therefore, be it resolved, (if the Assembly concur) ‘That upon the request of the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, the Comptroller of this State be au thorized and required, under his hand and the seal of the State, to guarantee the payment of the principal and in. terest of any bends of the United States to the amount of the fen belonging to the United States which were received by this State under the before mentioned act of the 28th day of June, 1836, and are now,in its custody for safe kecping. Aupaxy, Feb, 1—12 M. The special session) of the House this evening, on the intment of Commissioners, was an interesting one. galleries and lobbies were packed full, and a largo mumber were within the bar. ‘The discussion over striking ont the democratic names in the list reported ‘was somewhat spicy, aud it was gratifying to see such republicans as Littlejohn, Robinson, Pierce, Camp ‘and others, rising above the partisan, and taking a decisive stand of nm. Comminaioners without making ft @ party concern. All amendments were promptly voted down, with the exception of that to fix the number of votes to be cast by the Commission at five. The re. t of the majority of the committee, with the names of commissioners: isely as reported, was adopted by a vote of 71 to 89. This is an unexpected triumph. Toere has an earnest and active electioneering going on throughout the day against sending the Commis- Biovers, and but few men believed that the report of the committee would be ad |. The conservative republicans, assisted by Weed, who seized upon the mem- Bers at his party on Thursday, to concar with the report, | its axia readily, the seated one is turned around and finally triumphed, and have succeeded in adopting by aigoificant ma, pity a triumph indeod over the bitter 0; cop that they had to contend with. It now has to g: the Senate, and will be taken up there to-morrow, when it will have to go through a severe test. The com mission is not out of the woods, for it is not going to ro- eeive the snpport of ail the democratic members of that Dody. The senatorial canvassers are quite nymeroas since the adjournment of the evening session. The tally lists are being run over to see if thore.has been any change. We have three men to-night gure of a nomina tion of the second ballot. The friends of Greeley were mever more sanguine than they are to-night, and claim sixty votes on the first ballot, or one more than enough to nominate, The Evarts managers claim fifty-cight on ‘the first ballot, apd enough accessions from the Farris to place him out of danger on the second ballot. Some of the more conddent figure Evart’s fn on the first ballot. The Harris side have also on upwards of thirty votes. Some. 7 m cheated. It must be borne in mind ‘thai the hep me side wore the nearest in their count of Speaker, Tho highest that any of them claimed was 47 and others only 42—the precise number that they did p Bao the Weed side wore from fifty to 2B, the Dalance scattering, on the ‘that there is no telling the combinations that will be made. ‘The pressure is enormous on all sides, and important may be made before the caucus meets.

EVENING SESSION. The Assembly met this evening to consider as the special order, the resolutions for the appointment of com- missioners to Washington, in accordance with the Virginia resolutions. Mr. Fviixrton spoke in opposition to the appointment of the Commissioners. He was not willing that one jot or title of the republican principles should be yielded, He believed with the minority of the committee and pro- tested that the Commiesion was revolutionary in cha- racter. Mr. Finu moved to amend the report by striking out the whole of it and requesting the Governor to appoint nine citizens from the State to act as Commissioners. Mr. MonGaN was to tho amendment and to the Commission. He di wed of the whole proceedings from beginning to end, but if the Commissioners were sent at all they should be members of the republican party. Mr. Ferny desired to keep the appointment within the House. He hoped that the question would be so embar- raseed as to defeat the whole pi ition. ght? further debate the amendment was lost by 36 to Mr. Moncax moved to amend the report by striking out the names of Erastus Corning, Greene C. Brongon and Addison Gardner, and inserting those of John A. King, H. R. Selden and G. W. Patterson. Before he would con- sent to send any democrat on such a mission he would suffer his head to be severed from his body. Mr. Ronson opposed the amendment. He inquired, if war should come, whether all but republicans are to be excluded. He thought the amendment unfair, illiberal and improper. * After a warm debate the amendment was voted down by a vote of 87 to 76. Mr. FursErton moved to strike out all the Commirsion- ers’ names and insert the nameé of our Senators and re- publican representatives in Congress from this State, Mr. Puzrce moved an amendment to the report that a majority of the nine Commissioners shall decide how the five yotes are to be cast. Carried. After several attempts to drive off final action the re- port and resolutions were adopted, by ayes 72, nays 30. Adjourned. Curling in the Central Park. THE SCOTSMAN S GREAT GAME—MATCH FOR THE LOCAL MEDAL—MATCH BETWEEN THE CALEDO- NIANS AND THE HUDSONS—A GREAT MATCH YES- TERDAY, ETC., ETO. The curling pond lately has had extra attractions for lovers of the game in the fact that three matches were to be played, one for the local medal—an insignia of championship—of the Thistle Club, the others for the honor of beating, and many “braw Scotchmen” were present. In the former instance the members of the ‘Thistle played what is known as a point game. To ex- plain this to the uninitiated we will describe bow the ice is marked out. A clean, level piece of ice is first chosen, and having been carefully swept, is thea measured off to the length of about fifty yards, by gay five yards in width. A lino is drawn across this length midway, which is called the “middle line.’”? Twelve yards-from either side of this line is another lino draWn acroes, which is denominated the ‘hog score.” Seven yards farther from the middle on either side is another line, called the “sweeping score.’ Around the mil die of this cross line at each end are drawn circles of the relative radii of seven, four and two and a half feet, and the centre of these circles is called the “tee.” The tes are, therefore, thirty-eight yards apart, In a continual straight line with the tees, and four yards distant from each, a circle eightecn inches in diameter is drawn a little to the left of the central or lengthwi.e line, and at this point the player stands while playing or throwing the curling stone. To render his footing steady an iron footboard or “crampet’’ is used, which, having spikes, &., to catch the ice, prevents the player slipping. The stones, which woigh from thirty- five to fifty pounds, are then thrown with « gliding motion along the ice, and the count ¢an only be made in the “rink” game when the stone stops within the outer or seven fect circ! In the point gaime the following constitute the coun! 1. Striking—A stone placed on the ‘“‘tee”’ to be struck out of the circle, 2. Invwick stone is placed on the “tee,” and another two fect distant therefrom, at an angle of 45 degrees—the played stone to hit against the latter, and Perceptibly move the former. 3. ing—The stone piayed to lie within the circle, 4. Guarding—The stone played to rest, however little, on the central line. 5. Chap and lie—A stone placed on the tee to be struck out of the circle, but the stone played to lie with- in t. 6. Wick and Curl in—A stone placed geven feet dis- tant from the tee at an angle of 45 degrees, the stone played to hit on this stone and reat within the circle. 7. Raising—A stone placed soven feet from the tee in ‘a direct line with the player, to be struck into the circle, 8. Chip ping the Winner—One stone placed on the tee, another in frout of it at a distance of ten feet, half guarding it; the stone played to pass the guard, and por- bey) move the other. this game every successful shot counted one for the player, and yesterday, as each was made, or very well ‘atfempted, the maker was saluted by such salutes as “That's like it, Wullie,” “Well intended, my allen,” &e. In the last point, if the guard stone were struck, the cry of “That's married, Geordie,” would be beard. The throws were nearly al! very well made, but the outery of ye, mon, look at that!" Ail through the crooked ice,” when some Well intended aim went astray, showed that the surface was not altogether favorable for the game. Notwithstanding this disadvantage the three highest numbers of shots made were:—Coorge Clemisey (tho winner of the medal), 9; James Thomson, 8; Joseph Fors, 7. The medal was of ‘silver, seut from Edinburg to the club, and had a representation on one side of curiers at their game. Al the end of the game came the presen- tation of the medal, which ceremony is rather amusing. A curling, stone {6 placed on the jee, and the “ lucky fellow’’ is seated thereon. As the stone will revolve on around by the encircling crowd, until they think him in the proper position for thi honors. The Prosi. dont of the club (Mr. J. C. MoGrigor) steps into the circle, and with a serio-comic address, places the Diue ribbon of the medal around the winner's neck, pro- nouncing him ‘,King of the Ourlerg,” striking him’ three times on the top of the head with his open hand. The Preeident then leaves the circle, and the corn brooms of his feilow players drop each three times on the poor fel low’s head with no slight force. Of course, it {a all taken in good part, and hearty laughter ensues. he match between the Caledonians and the Hudsons was simply a “rink game,” four members from each club playing on either ide, each member having a pair of curling stones. The match lasted several hours, ending after five P. M., and the following was the count:—Cale- donians, 66; Hudsons, 15. The latter is, however, but a young club, compared with the former. ‘These two matches were played on Thareday, and ex- cited much attention; but the grand match of the present senson tock place yesterday betweon the Thistle and Caledonian Clubs. game was played by twenty-cight members aside, making seven ‘rinks,’ and the result ot the match ¥ m favor of the Cale- was sixty two shots in donians. The following is the score: — CLEDONIAN, Mumber of Shots. | Ship. Rink No. 1—63-J, Gibson. Majority for Caledonians, 62. To-day a match is to take donian and Thistle Clube, eight members.“ Some excellent is close to the Sixt lace betwoen the Cale- wide to have wey, trying to tones, many times the novice finding himself {lying from off his feet jm the eontrary direction to which the stone went. Brooxiyy Acapeuy oy Mvsic.—‘‘Martha” was given last night to another crowded house. It was produced with new costumes and ecenery, and was played with an entrain which made it go off charmingly. Full.of me- lodial beauties, this opera only requires to be respectably cast to please the popular car. We have rarely seen the parte better filled than last night. Madame Colson, Miss Philipps, Brignoli and Susini sustaining the principal roles, ‘whilst Coletti performed very creditably that of Lord Tristan, It is impogsible to say too much in praise of Madame Colson’s and Miss Philipps’ performance, They sung and acted with a spirit and gaicty which were in- fectious, and they were effectively supported by Brignoli and Susini, the former of whom was in superb voice. Al- though we could have wished Formes back in hisald Part, we must do Coletti the justice of saying that he sus- tained it with great animation, and contributed greatly to the amusement of the audience. The receipts of the house were nearly as large as on the night of the “Tro- vatore,”” gratifying proof of the sustained interest whieh the Brooklynites feel in the success of their new institution. Rangy’s PmLaxruroric Marwer.—Mr. Rarey will give bis very last practical lecture upon the art of horse- taming to-day at the Academy of Music, at two o’clock.

Mr. Rarey’s exhibition will be made more interest- ing than usual by the exhibition of Senator Seward’s celebrated Arabians. Mr, Seward pays Mr. Rarey a very high compliment in a letter, which closes as follows:— There is apparently so much danger in bringing my horses on the stage, Tam reluctant to cersent. But Mr. Rarey is 80 noble, 80 wise, 80 great, 80 humane @ re- former, and I am 0 much interested in'his labors, that I consent if ho and Mr. Bathgate shall feel satislied that my noble animals will come to no harm.

Fire iy Cuerry Strext—A Cup Burnep to Dgati.— Between eight and nine o'clock yesterday morning a fire occurred on the second floor of the tenement house No. 71 Cherry street, in the premises of Mary Quarterman. It appears that Mra. Quarterman had gone down stairs for a pail of water, and that during her absence her little girl, aged between two and three years, must have set fire to her clothing at the stove. After the flames were extinguished, the chila was found close to the stove burned to death. The damage to the furniture will amount to about $10; no insurance.

Mr. Mullaly commenced by stating that he had selected ‘ae the subject of his lecture—The Fame and Achievo- ments of the Irish Soldier at Home and Abroad.” He had, he said, announced this as its title, but he found on examination that there was really no word in tho Irish language which bore the same signification as the English term “soldier.” ‘The word soldier meansiiterally & man who fights for pay, while the Irish term which bears the nearest approach to it, is ‘‘carnore,”’ which, interpreted» ignifies “a doer ot victery.’’ There was another fact which he would state as no less creditable to the Irish people; it is that the word ‘“eoward” is unknown to its language, a circumstance which tells more plainly than words the character of the nation in this par- ticular There is, he proceeded, no nation in the world whose miltary annals are more full of hercic and gtorious deeds than those of the Irish peo- ple, and certainly none whose records extend over a wi- der field, for Irishmen have been found among the gol- diers of every nation, and it is to be said with regret that it is to their prowess im battle and to their great military genius that England is largely indebted for her ~~ powerful position among the nations of the earth. in every land their bravery has been recognized, and in the ranks of all nations they have risen to the most dis- tinguished and exalted positions. In Spain the name of Sarsfield, the heroic defender of ‘the City of the Broken Treaty,” shines with undiminished lustre beside the bravest and boldest of Iberia’s chieftains, and even at the present day the glory of the O'Donnelis is again revived in the achievements of the brave General who has lately won such unfading laurels in the dominiows of the {Moorish Sultan. The Mac- Mahons and O’Neils) who went over to the European continent two or three centuries ago have again appeared before the world in their brave descend- ants, whose skill and intrepid valor converted the hard fought battles of Magenta and Solferino into French vic- tories. It was tho Irish General De Lacy who won tho Crimea from the ruler of Stamboul and added to the do- minions of the Czar of all the Russias. The lecturer took up the charge of Voltaire, that ‘‘the Irish always fought Dadly at home,” and ae that it was not sustained by the facts of history. this connection he spoke of the great victories whieh had been won on Irish soi! against the English enemy, dwelling at length on the battle of Beuburb, the sieges of Limerick and Athlone, the coaduct of the undisciplined and badly armed patriots of ’98, relating many interesting incidents in the war waged b: Willam of Orange and James Il. for the lis! throne. He then spoke of the brilliant deeds ef the Irish brigade in Europe, described the battles of Fontenoy, ‘Luzara, the siege of Cremona and other brilliant achteye- ments in which they pla ‘ed @ prominent part, and in which they sustained their high military reputation. Were 1 to mention, raid the lecturer, every field on which the brigace bye I would be obliged to give a catalogue of the battle fields of Europe during their stay upon the Continent. You can track them over every land: in Franee, and ,and Austria; in the rocky defiles and fastnestes of Savoy; on the plains of Flanders, and on the fruitful fields of Sicily. They have proved their valor Againstevery race and nation. Cremona against Aus- tria, at Fontenoy against the Engish, at Stolhoven against the Hungarians, at Louvain against the French, at Dudephayen against the Swedes, at Marsiglia it the Germans, at Luzara inst the f ‘at Oberklaw against the Dutch, at the Retorto against the Prussians, at Barcelona against the Spaniards, in Tyrol against the Swise, and in Savoy against the Piedmontese. It is too late in the day for any English scribbler to call them cowards. ‘The descendants of those men who ex- torted applause from Gustavus Adolphus, and whose very bs pero on the field made Prince Eugene change his order of battle at Luzara, of the men who repelled thé continued charges of Montecucoli’s cavalry, fighting un- der the eyes of their veteran commander, and covered. the retreat of the French army on the glorious day of Attenbeim, can afford to despise the malignant fakehoods: of the London Times. But why, it may be asked, said the lecturer, why is it that with all their bravery, with all thorevictories, with @ courage which no reverses: can subdue—how comes it that Ireland is still the subject of another country? The answer is simple. There is one weapon against which the dauntless heroism of the soldier has never succeeded, and against which the pa- triots of other lands have struggled in vain, It is the weapon of treachery and deceit—a weapon which tho Saxon foe kuows so well how to wield: a weapon with Which she hag go long sought to break up ‘our own glo- rious Union, and in which she will suce: if the stater- men to whom the country is now looking with such an anxious, earnest gaze are unfaithful to their sacred trust, or unequal to the discharge of the great responsi- bilities resting Upon them. The reason why Ireland has not been suecessful in her long and oft-renewed struggle for independence is to be found in the policy of a foo which has always acted in accordance with the base maxim, ‘ Divide and conquer.” In conclusion the lecturer referred to the conduct of the Irieh Brigade in the service of the Pope, and which during the past year performed such feats of bravery and heroism at Spoléto, Casteltidardo and Ancona, quoting the words of Lamorteiere, a General who had scen French troops in action and who bad witnessed the intrepidity of a Zouave charge, that had he but five thousand Irish soldiers he could have swept the whole Peninsula. Although the lecture eccupied two hours in its delivery, it was listened to with unabated interest to the end. Police Intelligence. STABBING AFFRAY BETWEEN SAILORS. At a late hour on Thursday night a disturbance oc curred between & number of sailors in the drinking sa loon No. 203 South street, which resulted in one of the party, named Stephen Goodwin, leaving the place for fear of being beaten. Goodwin belonged to the mip Charles Hill, lying at pier 35 East river, and on emerging from tho saloon he etarted to go on board of his vossel. He had hardly proceeded fifty feet, however, when he was assailed by some persons from behind§ and knocked down. A fight then ensued, in which Goodwin was floored two or three times. The last time ho fell to the ground one of his aseailants drew a knifo and stabbed him in three places about the side and breast, inflicting severe if not fatal wounds. Finding that he was bleed- ing profusely, Goodwin made his way back to the saloon, and informed the barkeeper of tho occurence. He then started back for his vessel, where he was subsequently found by roundsman Rode, of the Fourth precinct, apparently in a dying cendition. The injured man was promptly removed to the New York Hospital, where his wounds were dressed and he was made ## comfortable as possible under the circumstances. Two men, named William Robinson and John Jackson, were arrested by officer Blair on suspicion of con- cerned in the outage, ‘but they denied all knowledge of the occurrence, Yesterday Schirmer was no. tifled to hold an ate mortem examination in the case of Goodwin, whose condition was pronounced to be quite critical by the attending physician. The Coroner did as he was requested, and annexed is the result of tho in- vestigation — ‘Stephen Goodwin, being duly sworn, deposes and says— Iam thirty-six years of age; I belong to Newburyport, Mare.; 1 have been on board the ehip Charles Hill, lying at pier 25 Fast river; I know that lam in a condition: I wag in the saloon in Catharine street, oppo- site pier 36, last night about half-past nine o'clock ; were a number of men there, one of whom waited to kick up a muss; I soon afterwards started to go on board the ship, when some persons ran after me and knocked me down: I got up and tried to get away, when I was knocked down a second time; I then to rive, when one of the men rushed upon me with a knife aud shoved it into me twice; I felt the blood trickling down my side. ‘and ran inte the’ ealoon and told them | was stabbed; { was rober at the time, but had taken a couple of glasses; I am able to identify the person who stabbed mo; the prisoner, William Robinson, is the man; other prisoner, John Jackson, wad present during the assault; | never sew either of the men before that even- ing; Thad no quarrel with the men, and nothing hap- pened more than I have stated. Upon the atrength of the above deposition the jury ren- dered the following verdict:—“That the said Stephen Goodwin came to his wounding at the hands of William Robinson, end that John Jackson was an accessory.” The accused denied that they were implicated in the af- fray, but were committed to the Tombs nevertheless. Coroners’ In Farat. Accipent tv Deane Stueer,—The steam confec tionery and chocolate establishment of Messrs, Struclens & Palmer, Nos. 66 and 68 Duane street, was the scene of @ melancholy accident yesterday afternoon. (ne of the workmen named Paul Winsbiemer, it appeara, was en. gaged in lowering himself from the fifth to the second floor, when the wire rope attached to the platform gave ‘way precipitating him to the lower floor with such vio lence af to cause almost instant death. Mr. Struclens who was standing on the edge of the holatway on the se cond floor, was knocked down by the foroe of the concus- sion, and severely injured. Coroner Schirmer held an in. quest upon tho body of the deceased, and after taking considerable testimony the jury rendered the following yerdiot:—'*ibat the deceased came to bis death by the pn of the platform of the steam ¢levator at Messrs. Tr i8el, tn coudeywence of tha nsegur faveuing of the” wire ‘rope to the socket and piggy to the framework of said platform, and also in consequence of the spring and fall not promptly operat. ing when the rope gave way to secure ‘platform from degoend We would therefore censure the contractor of said \tform for not properly teeting his work. war -five years of age, and lived at No. 454 Fourth street, elevator In question was cne of Otis’ Manufacture, and recently been undergoing some repairs.
