The sailors’ boarding house of William Montland, 204g Cherry street, was the scene of a bloody affray shortly before three e’clock yesterday afternoon, Which resulted in the death of Thomas Brown, ® Sailor, forty years of age. From what could be learned concerning the affair it appears that deceased and Frank Wilson, also a sailor, had been stopping at the same house in Oherry street for a week or ten days past and seemed to agreo very well. Yesterday moraing Wilson com- Menced drinking poisonous liquor and imbibed to excess for several hours. In the latter part of the day they took a seat on a bench on the front stoop and while there had some angry words, during which, it 1s sald, Brown struck Wi- son with his fist, whereupon the latter drew a sheath or butcher knife which he carried in his pooket, and stabbed his assatiant To Tae HEART, Wilson left the knife sticking tn the body of his victim and entered the pone ut not to escape.

The Railroad Guillotine Again—A Lad Steals a Ride on a Cowcatcher and Falls Ucder the Locomotive Wheels. About eleven o’clock yesterday morning a boy, named Thomas Hodgin, eleven years of age, jumped on the cowcatcher of a locomotive drilling about the Paterson depot, with the intention of stealing a ride. Some one cried for him to get off, when, in attempt- ing to do so, his foot slipped and he fell, with his head directly under the wheels of the engine. About half of the top of his head was cnt off, the skull be- ing severed as if by a broadaxe. The bratns wero scattered along the track for several feet, and the sight was one which few could look upon. Coroner Butterworth was sammoned to view the body, and, after an investigation, gave a permit for burtal. The boy was apparantly half-witted and could not be restrained. He has been the cause of a good deal of trouble and anxiety to the depot employés, who have repeatedly driven him away, and who have witnessed his narrow escape from a similar death several times before. His parents, who live Qt 38 Morton street, had expressed their inability to exercise any control over him. * — STRAUB’S SALVE. Ten Thousand Dollars for Being Ejected from a Street Car—Curious Complication—Al- leged Attempt to Suborn a Witness. On the 30th of November, 1869, John 1. Straub, a citizen of this city, was ejected from a Harlem car of the Third avenue line a little above the depot at Sixty-fifth street, because, as the conductor of the car told him, his transfer check was of a previous date. This check, Mr. Straub states, he had re- ceived from the conductor of one of the cars which does not go further up town than the depot, and which he had taken at the City Hall. In conge- quence of the outrage alleged to have peen com- mitted upon him Straub brought suit against the rallroad company in the Superior Court for $10,000. Yesterday William Bem Kemper, the conductor who had given Straub the transfer check, caused the arrest, at the instance of the company, of a man named Francis 8. Fairchilds, whom, he alleges, on two er more separate occasions, attampte to in- duce him to appear as a witness in the suit for the $10,000 for the purpose of swearing that the check he had given Straub was not a good one, For this service he would get five doliarsa day while the trial lasted, and a promise ef more if thé prose- cution succeeded. Fairchilds asked for an examina- tion after denying the charge against him, and the case was set down for the 14th of April. ‘Bail was fixed at $10,000, in default of which the prisoner was committed. “THE ALDAMA PROPERTY.

MAROH 31, 1871.—TRIPLE SHEET. RACING ESTABLISHMENTS OF AMER‘CA, MR. M. H, SANFORD’S HORSES. Stables, Barns, Box Stalls, Bath Hour, Training Track and Othe? Appointments. About four miles west of Paterson, N. J., lies the Deautifal and picturesque valley of Preakness. It 18 surrpunded on all sides by mountaing with gorges, through which small rivera run and empty into the grand Passaic. In the very centre of the valiey is situated the racing estaplishment of Mr. M. H. San- ford, which has an area of eighty acres on a perfect level. The placo ig well suited for the purposes of breeding and training race horses, the soil being admirably suited for git the necessary prepara- tion to the high-meitied rs, as they can be put to their highest dights of speed without danger of in- Juring their limbs. On Mr. Sanford’s place is @ comfortable farm house, with all the necessary outbuildings, besides & new two story dwelling for his head trainer. Then there are barns, granaries, stables and yards or paddocks, and a circular building to walk the horses in in inclement weather, The stables con- tain forty box stalls, built in the most improved style for ventilation and comfort. In one section of a large building ts a furnace, with radiators in the floors above to carry the hot air to a number of rooms, in which horses can be placed to undergo the process of sweating, somewhat similar to the Operations of the Turkish and Russian vapor baths. Mr. Sanford has found this system of sweating highly beneficial in many ways to his horses, and it is, no doubt, a great improvement in a breeding establishment, There are many other new and valuable improvements on the place that breeding establishments generally are without. The way of procuring a bountiful supply of fresh and ever flow- ing water is by hydraulic rams, which forces it from the littie river that runs in front of the estate into large reservoirs located in various parts of the place. The whole of the buildings at Preak- ness are most excellently and tastefully laid out, and @re all that could be desired for a training estab- lishment. A new track was laid out and graded last summer, the old one being considered too narrow torun the great number of horses that are here in training which frequently take their gallops together. This track is but three-quarters of a mile in length, yet it has two straight sides of nearly a quarter of a mile each, and the turns are so well graded that the horses can dash around them with the greatest freedom, But, notwithstanding the magnitude of Preakness and its beautiful location, the constantly increasing number of horses in Mr. Sanford’s stables compelled him to seek a larger fleld for his extensive breed- ing estabitshment, and he has been trying for some time to find one in Kentucky—in the blue grass reglon—where at present he has forty brood mares, besides a great number of two year olds, yeariings and sucklings, with a prespest in time of having {he largest number of race hordes of any gentleman in this or any other country, Mr. Sanford hasa aape7 for the sport of racing and is an enthusiast selective breeding. Tnere is no doubt of his ulti- mate success. We give below a list of the racers now in training for she coming summer campaiga, besides the stal- lions, brood mares and youngsters, the latter of which will in time take their chances for fame in the exciting sports of the turf:— re Es = = THE RACERS IN TRAINING, © PREAKNESS is & bay colt, four years old, by Lex- ington, dam Bay Leaf, éixteen hands “high, of fine proportions, very symmetrically formed, and fis © true appearance of a first class race horse, ie has improved wonderfully on his threo-year-old form and isa much finer looking colt than he was when he ran for aud won the Dinner Stakes at Bal- timore last autumn. There 18 no mistaking tho lineage of Preakness, Whoever has scen Lexington willat once recognize the colt asthe son of that famous horse, He is engi in the Westchester Cup, two miles and a quarter, to be run at the spring meeting at Jerome Park; for the Monmouth Cup at Long Branch at the July meeting, the distance two miles and a half; in the Mansion House Stakes at the August meeting at Monmouth Park, two mile heats; the Tammany Cup at thesame meeting, three miles; the Saratoga Oup at Saratoga, to be run dur- ing the July meeting, two and a quarter miles; the Maturity Stakes at Jerome Park, fall meeting, and will ran at Baltimore in the races on the Pimlico course in October. ae rena ees NIAGARA, & bay maré, 6 years old, by Lexington, dam Bay Leaf, 18 well Known on thé race course, paving, run creditably at all distances, She is a inely formed ayers and has racing points promt. nently developed. Her last race last season was at Baltimore, where she ran a good second to Glenelg in the great four-mile heat race, when all the others im the race were distanced in the second heat. Those who were behind the flag at the finish were Plantagenet, Abdel Kader and Nannie Douglas, Carrie Atherton being shut out on the first heat. Niagara is now one of the best four-milers in America. MoNARCHIST 1s @ bay colt, 8 years old, by Lexing- ton, dam Mildred, by Glencoe, 15 hands 234 inches in —_— of grand form and splendid action, He has @ fine head, neck and shoulders and 1s immense around the girth, with strong quarters, capital hocks, good legs‘and springy pasternzs. He will, no es be found @ troublesome customer in the 8 ie BINGAMIN ts 8 dark bay or brown, three years old, by Asteroid, dam Bay Leaf. This colt is only four- teen hands three inches in height, but one of the most compactly bullt and beautitul creatures that ever looked through a bridle, He is a little giant, and whether he will be able to keep up witn larger and more lengthy horses over a distance of grouna ‘will soon be tested. Heisin fine condition to un- dergo the grand preparation, and being of kind dis- posiisent is @ favorite with his owner, trainer and the oys about the stable, Bingamin 1s entered in nearly all the three-year-old races of the year. MaDaME DUDLEY is a bay filly, three years old, by Lexington, dam imported Britannia the Fourth, b; Flying Dutchman, She ts fiffeen hands and a half high, of five form and has racing pomts very promi- nently developed. Her great performance last autumn at Baltimore, when she ran a mile as @ two-year-old in 1:48, with 104 pounds up, will be remembered by all turimen, as it was undoubtedly the best performance at thal ear, She is engaged in all the stakes for three- ear-old fillies, and will try conclusions again with Harry Bassett, as they will meet at Monmouth Park in the New Jersey Derby, at a mile anda half. Her defeat by Harry Bassett when they ran at Baltimore Was attributed more to being badly ridden than toa want of speed by many who witnessed the race, and should they meet again single-handed, as they did on that occasion, the odds on the colt would be freely taken. Madame Dudiey isin fine health ana full of spirit. She 1s now at work taking her pre- paratory breathings for the campaign. JERSEYMAN 18 a chestnut coll, with two white stockings behind. He ts a son of Vandal, dam Emma Wright, fifteen hands two inches high, and stoutly made. ‘This horse has @ fine forehand, and his hindquarters Lig pom mnae formed, but his middie-piece spotis looks, as he sinks deeply down in the back. He is now four years old, and w.ll be trained tns spring for the first time. He is Cong oe in the four miie sweepstakes to be run at Jerome Park at the fall meeting. and may be before that time in some of the purse races, should he give a racing promise at an early day. Mr. San- ford, however, does not have a very exalted opinion or him; nevertheless he may prove @ horse of great merit, his pedigree is as good as any in the land. WHITEHOSE 18 & chestuut colt, With four white stockings and a blaze face, two years old, by King Lear, dam Farring, by Ringgold. ° He is a noble colt, with a fine head, graceful neck, capital shoulders, nd powerful arms and strong propelling machinery. le 18 Marked the same and looks very much like his sire.

He is engaged in the July Stakes at Mon- mouth Park, and the August Stakes at the same place—the former hati a mile, the ‘second three- aoactace of @ mile and the third race a dash of a mile, Gone {3 a bay ary, two years old, by King Lear, dam Gonerill, by Kevenue, Tnis filly 13 matche against Mr. Belmont’s filly, by Kentucky, dam Spil- letta, to run at three years old. she has much sub- Stance and is of good size. She is entered in the August Stakes for two-year-olds at Monmouth Park, one mile, when somo iaea will be formed of her racing qualities. To all present appearances she will make a racer of merit. 4 - * Recat is a biack filly, by Virgil, dam Regan, py Lexington, two years old. This filly is of great length and has a racing appearance remarkabie for horage. She 13 of fine size and very muscular, though gracefully proportioned.

This essay the chaplain wished might be shown to Ru- lof. It was shown to him, and he retained the Ms, @ few days, after which its author went to talk with the learned prisoner about it. But the author, in that talk, stood no more chance of shining than Bill Nye did in playing with the ‘“neathen Chinee.” The learned prisoner was up to hts eves in Xenophon and Pilato, aud Sophocies' and Kuripides, where the ious eee Was only aukle deep; and the latter eft somewhat disgusted with the ways of these con- viots.
