A scene decidedly unexpected was witnessed in the Jewish Synagogue in Washington street, Newark, during the service there yesterday fore noon.

Memorial Service—The Dend of the Congre- gation Remembered ani Prayed Fer—The Brevity of Life Recalled te ind—Rejoicing for the Law. Yesterday a congregation larger than the ordinary Sabbath congregation assembled in this synagogue tor worship, Among the Genules present were Rev. Dr. Ormiston, of the Reformed churcn in Fifth avenue and Twenty-ninth street, and Mr. Kennedy, of the Presbyterian church, who were the most at- tentive worshippers and seemed to take a deep in- terest in the services, Three times a year this con- gregation remembers its dead and devoutly prays for tne repose of their souls, and that they may be permitted to rejoice with Abranam, Isaac and Jacob and the other patriarchs, ana with Saran and Leah, in the kingdom of heaven. Prayers are also offered on tnis day for divine vengeance upon the enemies of the Lord and of Israel, and the people are re- minded that LIFE 18 SHORT and eternity awaits them. The great power and glory of God is brought to mind by the chancing of tne twenty-ninth Psalm, tor which He 1s praised with singing of the twenty-fourth Psalm. In view of the memorial services of the day, Rev. M. Isaacs did not preach @ regular sermon, but addressed a few appropriate remarks to the congregation on the nature of the services, Life, he said, 1s like an bourgiass, whose sands are rapidly passing away. Soon (nis festival raontn will be over, and they had met here on tuts serious and solemn occasion to pray sor the repose of the souls of the dead. All h present, he remarked, are candidates for death and | also for immortality. Death is merely the cessation of our breath in this world, and it 1s @ consolation to us to be assured that the services which we per- form to-day ior otuers will be performed for our- selves by and by. How sviemn is the reflection that those Who once taught us and livea here with us are now tu the other world | Do we not call upon God | to remember tne dead? We, too, remember them.

UNIFORMITY OF RITUAL; The committee of five mishops appointed by the House of Bishops at the General Convention of 1388 to consider whether any additional provision for unitormity by canon or otherwise is practicable and expedient and to report to the next General Convention, having held sat meetings at several ditferent places, at each of which all the members of | Much as the the committee were present through the entire session, and | much as the Baptists, and half as much again as ease, as pond believe, given to the subject matter Sonee the Methodists, for their benevolent purposes. por em careful ‘consideration which its merits, respectfully ask leave to report. ‘The resolution under which the committee was appointed Taises several questions for examination and answer. Ia ‘any legislation touching the performance of divine service and the administration of the sacraments and other rites and ceremonies of the Church practicable? If practicable, in it atthis time expedient? If practicable and expedient, shall it take the shape of a canon or canons, or shall it be olber- Wise provided for? and, nally, what shail the actual detaile leginlation be ? Aasurediy these are questions that touch the Church and its mem bers in many and very vital points, and involve many delicate as well as precious relations, In’ considering these juestions the committee have endeavored never to torget ‘at substantial uoiformity is entirely compatible with very considerable individual lber.y; that non-casentials should never be unduly magnified, and, far less, raised to an equality with esscntials; that many troublesome and ob; tionable things are ephemeral in their nature and “perish in the using,” sod tuat under any circumatances hasty legisla- tion is ever to be avoided. Nor have they omitted to keep in mind the wise words of the thirty-sixth article of religion :— “It is not necessary tbat trad.tions and ceremonies be in all places one or utterly alike, for at all times they have been diverse, and may be changed ‘accordinz to the diversity of countries, times and men’s manners, so that nothing be ordained against God's Word.” Kvery particular or national Church hath authority to ordain, change and abolish cere- montes or rites of the Church ordained only by man’s au- thority, so that all things be done to edifying.” While, however, the committee have kept these considera- tions in view, it bas been and is their unanimous opinion that some action of the General Convention in regard to the fin- portant matters named in the resolution appointing them 18 very desirable, if not indeed absolutely demanded. Among many reasons for this conviction that present themselves they venture to ask attention to these following:— ivt—It i obvious to remark that there are among us im; great and growing diversities of use in tne performance of divine service and the officers of the Church. Unless some- thing is done and done soon in the interests of uniformity, these diversities bid fair to equal, if they du not exceed, those which, at the period of the Anglican Keformation, were re- as an evil to be removed, and which led to the decision that the whole realm should have but one nse. They occa- sion, moreover, even now, confusion, trouble and perplexity among our people, and these evils’ must increase as thelr causes are multiplied, ‘Second—It is believed that the various services, over and above those provided in the Book of Common Prayer, or act forth in accordance with the provisions of Little, 1; canon 18, xiv., of the Digest, and not coming under the’ denomiua- tion of Sunday or other xebool services, are publicly used in certain churches. How far liberty, in ‘this regard, f8 to allowed, or in what respect it is to be restrained the commit- It is obvious, however, that any tuch services are sources of disorder aid confusion in proportion as they are tramed on principles, and embody acts, words or forms, come these from what outside quar- ter they may, that are not in accord with the doctrine, discipline and worship of our own Church, of are foreign (0 the genius and spirit of our services, Third—The committee have reason to believe that in some Instances the services of the Prayer Book are uniawfully altered or mutilated and in others are #0 periormed as to make it difficult, to say the least, to distinguish them, except in the Janguage ‘employed, from’ those of the Church of Kome. Against such wrongs our people nave a right to demand pro- tection; and, whether they demand it or not, it would seem to be a plain aud bounden duty to provide for it. For these reasons, besices others which it is not necessary | livered on the last ; have no foundation in fact, but which have been to rehearse, the committee unanimously recommend action by the t Genera! Convention, and, after maturely weigh- ing the diferent modes in which 'this ‘recommendation may be carrie out, they further unanimously recommend that any action which the Convention may take shall be in the form of @ cauon or canon: In proceeding to state the various detai's which they be- Meve ought to be made the subjects of such action as has been proposed th» committee desire to say that, wuile on the great majority of the points presented there has been entire unanimity of opinion, some things are, nevertheless, pro- posedand others are omitted which, had ‘each member's in- dividual wish regulated the final result, would have been dif- ferently disposed of.

Minister Catacazy Rises to Explain-He Never Calamniated President Grant, Secre- tary Fish, Mrs, Fish, or Misjudged the American People—The Whole Story a Base Falvebood. In consequence of the rumorea statements with reference to Minister Catacazy, the Russian Ambas- sador, having openly defamed the President of the United States, Secretary Fish and Mrs. Fish at a dinner recently given at the Russian embassy in Wasiington, a HeRALD representative yesterday waited upon him at the Clarendon Hote! in this city, where he is now staying, apparently for the purpose of superintending the arrangements being made here for the reception of the Prince Alexis. He commenced by saying that he was sorry he could give but little infor. Mation that would be of pnblic interest. “1 HAVE BREN CALUMNIATED, and correspondents of papers have very naturally falien into the error of publishing rumors which started for a certain bad end," said his Exceilency; “and the following 1s the statement I now wish to publish in the columns of the HERALD, in order to show my position with the people of this country, and also as @ denial of these malictous personal statements,” MINISTER CATACAZY’S STATEMENT. I have read with the deepest disgust the cor- Tespondence from Washington to-day. Iam bound by my oficial duty to abstain from ali polemics or controversy with newspapers upon ail political matters, and, therefore I cannot and will not answer or reply in any way, directly or indirectly, to the attacks directed against me. Sooner or later the truth wilt be Knowo. Having been honored with the fullest approval of my government I sub- mit with perfect indfference to the attacks of those who consider it proper and gentlemanly to direct charges against a man who cannot answer them, and who is representing THE FRIENDLIRST POWER TO THE UNITED STATES. But I can offer a denial to the personal and mten- tonal calumnics stated yesterday by your corre- spondent. In this correspondence it has been stated, among other things, that | expressed myself on ac- count of President Grant, the Secretary of State and his most amiable, honorable and respectable lady, in terms so Infamous that I shrink even from re- peating them. I declare the whole story to be a falsehood, and I challenge anybody to substantiate such an absurd charge against me, Whatever the Political disagreements there may be between my- self and the Secretary of State 1 nave never ex- pressed @ word or even entertainea ® thought against his character, much less against his lady, to whom 1 have always endeavored to manifest my deepest respect. The intentional and systematical circulating of these caiumnies has been ATTRIBUTED TO A FORKIGN MINISTER who was at my table, But I am firmly convinced that none of my colleagues are capable of doing that, But if such was the case, every gentleman can appreciate such conduct, It has been said, farther, in the correspondence, that I pata LOW ESTIMATE UPON THE AMBRICAN CHARACTER, Everyboay who has had dealings with me since I have been in America knows what my feelings are tothe American people and my opinion of their brpens! | character. 1 will not, consequently, express the A Salcon Keeper Kills His Wife and Then Hangs Himself. JEALOUSY THE CAUSE. Investigation Before Coro- ; ner Young. With all the bloody trageaies enacted in the city | of late, few, if any, show more desperation of pur- pose than that enacted early yesterday morning in ' the tenement house No, 21 Essex street. More than two months ago Julius Steinman, a Dane, twenty-etght years of age, formerly a seafar- ing man, by the aid of friends opened a lager beer saloon on the first Moor of the above named premises, and with his wife Juita, .wenty years of age, occupied {he rear room oa the same floor as a residence. Stein- man was married nearly two years ago, and while absent at sea his wile supported herself by playing the pars of waiter girl in the lager bier and concert saloon, 153 Chatham street, kept by Conrad Getler, her brother-in-law. As far as appears she con- | ducted herself with propriety, and discharged her | disagreeable duties to the entire satisfaction of ner employer. When Steinman returned to port he at first treated his wife with respectful considera- tion, but in a few days he showed unmistakabiy that he was jealous of ner, but ati! attowed her to hold her position as waiter girl in the saloon. Since taking up their abode in Ksacx street Mra. Steluman has not worked in the Chatham street saloon, but oftentimes was out till a late hour of the | Specie. night. Where she spent the time does not appear, but her absence seemed to disturb her husband's equanimity, and when intoxicated he would beat and abuse her most shamefully. Mra. Steinman would often complain to her sister concerning his brutality, but without effect. On Friday night Steinman appeared to be in good Spirits and compacatively sover. and friends dropped in he chatted merrily with them, and eventuaily they commenced playing cards for beer and money, at Which amusement they con- tinned till alter midnight, when the men all left, Mrs. Steinman having pot yet returned. ‘What time she came hume did not appear and prob- ably never will. Nothing more was scen or heard of Mr. or Mrs. Steinman that night, it was observed yesterday morning that their place was not open as usual, and one of the women in the bouse, thinking it strange, rapped at the hail door, but withous receiving an answer. Some one then went into the yard, and looking in at tne rear window of Stelaman’s room saw Mrs. Stetu- man sitting in a chair at the table, over which she was bent, her head resting on her right hand. Tak- ing & more extended view of the premises Steinman was observed hanging by the neck by means of a small fastened to a hook high ap on the toside of the front door, some twenty-five or thirty fees from where his wife was sitting inthe chair. The Harmer Sein ir St alt ier Dau the neighhorhogd came in, and soon aud ohare of ‘the Tentt precinct appeared and took charge of the premises. Coroner Young and us Deputy, Dr. Marsh, being notified, were 8v0n at the scene of the tragedy. and on entering the room a shocking sight was present- ed. ‘There by the table, near the bac« door, sat Mrs. Stemman, suit and cold in death, ner iuxuriant black hair matted with her own blood, which had flowed from wounds ou her head. ‘The vlood had escaped into and had nearly filled a deep dinner piate wuich stood on the table, On the tavie were alarge butcher's knife aud u heavy smootuing iron, both besmeared with blood, showing con- clusively that they nad been used im causing | the death of Mrs. Steinman. Oa the floor, near the table, was a club somewhat resembing those used by policemen, split in two pieces, aud & | broken Kerosene oll lamp. Between the third and jourtn flugers of the right hand Mra, Steinman hrmly heid @ teaspoon, which, doubtless, she was using at the time of her deatn. From the position in which she was found it ts be- Heved that while partaking of some refreshment at ‘ue tabie her husband, in a paroxysm of ANGER AND JEALOUSY, came behind her with the smoothing tron and dealt her a deadly blow onthe back of the head, ki ing ber forward, with her head resting on ner rigat band, as previously stated. Whether sue was struck with the club is uncertain. To finish up the bl deed Steinman must then have atiacked his wife with the buccher’s knife and inflicted four deep wounds on her head, from one io four and a | hall inches in length. 1 That Mrs, Stelmman never moved atter receiving the first blow is evideat from the fact that there was no blood on the floor, it al being on the table and dishes. After being fully satisfied that he had murdered his wife Steinman deliberately proceeded to termi- nate his earthly career by hanging himself to the hook on the tront door, and there the pody was ailowed to rematn till the arrival of Coroner Young, who ordered it to be cut down. Tue place was in great confusion and evidently had been visited by persons not strictly bonest, as the mouey drawer had been opened and doubdtiess rifled. Only a iew pennies were found in the cash box, although it was believed Steinman had a consider- abie amount of money about is house. 1t shoud | be stated that when Coroner Young entered the room where Mrs. Steinman lay dead a@ iaithful dog kept watch over her body, and 1c was with cim- culty that the brate could be driven away; in fact, he did not leave until he had nipped av the heels of ; Dr. Marsh, Coroner Young empanelled a jury to view the remains, and, alter securing the witnesses, pro- ceerted to the Tenth precinct to hold his investiga- 100.

At 114% and 114% other foreign bankers were as steady buyers— he result of all of which was the establishment of a rather quiet marxet at 114%.
