Long before the hour appointed for the re-opening of the proceed- ings the hallways leading to the room were crowded by a mixed gathering of loafera and ward poll- ticlans of the small fry order, all of whom endeavored by some means or another to gain admittance to the chamber; but the police, who were posted in the building in strong force, turned a deaf ear to their entreaties until the Coroner was ready to be gratified with their company, when they rushed into the room in pell-meil order. Some of them, no doubt feeling quite at home in the Counciimen’s chamber, at once pro- ceeded to seize upon all the “choice seats” in the room, regardless of the wants or necessities of the jury or the reporters. Any respectable gentleman who desired through curiosity or any other motive to be present at the proceedings as a spectator had as much as he could do to gain admittance—indeed, if he succeeded in geteing in at all, Judging from the crowd of roughs present, the bad characters of the city are evidently as much inierested in the case as the law-abiding portion of the community, althovgn from far different motives, Taken a3 @ whole the crowd which gathered in the room waa far from attractive to the peaceably inclined citizen.

Commissioner Brenan yesterday held # session for the hearing of complaints against oMcers of the police force. There were but two cases of interest. Two inspectors of the sanitary squad, Acker and Hartell, were charged by Sergeant Might, of the Twenty-ninth precinct, with improper conduct, The complaint represents that Might seimed ten bob calves in the slaughter house of Golasmidt & Schuss- ler, at the foot of Forty-seventh street, one day last weok, as unfit for the market; that while he was away and a ward oficer was in oharge of the veal these inspectors arrived on the scene of the seizure and released the property, It also charges that Acker advised the bnichers to prosecute Dr. Morris for the value of tne calves, and volunteered to appear a8 a wituess and awear that the veal was geod. The defend- ants admitted that they released the veal, but de- nied that they had advised a suit against Dr. Harris. During the examination it transpired that some time ago three calves that had just been ushered into the world were killed, dressed in lambs’ skins, made into sausage and sold to the public.

The job and book printers now on strike for an advance of wages assembled yesterday at their head- quarters, Botanic Hall, East Broadway, at twelve o'clock, for the purpose of taking such measures as might be advisable in the crisis. The chair was occupied by Mr. Eagan. The names of twelve offices were read to the meeting as having acceded to the demand of the Union. The proceedings were quite animated, and a good deal of feeling was mani- fested by some members against houses which re- fused to entertain the demands made by the delega- ae to vo jr HP ay ey by _— urned without takin; action but met again in the ‘afternoon. ea! e The committee appointed to see the- Board of Al- dermen Committee on Stationary reported that all their efforts to get an interview with gentiemen composing that committee had been unsuccessful, and they therefore asked to be discharged. An animated debate followed the reading of the report, in which very strong expressions were used towards the New York Printing Company. The committee was then discharged and a new commitice appomted to draft resolutions condemnatory of the conduct of the Printing Company and also antmadvert upon the municipal boards for giving the city work to be done by oilices which persistently refuse to pay the standard rate of wages.

At these meetings were repro- sented nearly all the leading book and job printers. The result of these meetings has been a unanimous decision that the new scale of advance prices de- manded by the members of the Printers’ Union can- not and will not be paid, ‘The reasons why the above action has been aeter- mined upon are multifarious, It is insisted in the first place that the state of the trade, which is now unusually dull, forbids it. Another point of objec- tion 1s that the employers have been paying for two or more years from ten to twenty per cent more than is paid in other cities. The effect of this increased payment over other cities 1s alleged to have caused alarge amonnt of book work to be sent elsewhere, and it 1s claimed that by acceding to this present demand more work would be sent away. It is asserted that the published statements of the same acale of prices being agreed upon in other cities are erroneous, a5 ascertained by correspondence with the leading book printers in the places referred to, Although positively refusing to comply with the demands of the printers attempted to be enforced in this present strike, the employing printers have de- cided. to recognize this difference between solid and leaded mgtter and to give three cents more per 1,000 ems for setting solid matter than is now paid, Itis asserted, notwithstanding the state- ments to the contrary, that only a few of the pub- lishing houses who do their own printing and some exclusively job offices have acceded to the prices demanded, ‘At the above meetings the following houses were represented:—C. A, Alvord, J, F. Trow, EF. 0. Jenkins, C. S. Westcott & Uo., Wynkoop & Halien- beck, Smith & ree John J, Reed, Baker & Godwin, McCrea and Miller, Francis Hart & Co,, M. W. Siebert, J, Prall, J. W. Oliver, J. T. Baldwin, W, C. Martin,” in aadition to’ these hames, veg. hey represented at the meeting, it is stated that J. A. Gray & Green, the New York Printing Company and Little, Renule & Co. do not pay the prices. . ——_ s The Seamen's Strike=The Movement at an End=A Compromise Effected.
