“AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB [2333 Last Day of the Autumn Meeting of the Jerome Park Races. “EVERYBODY” ON THE ROAD Beme Comments on How New York Goes Racing, AN IMMENSE ATTENDANCE. VIVE CAPITAL RACES. Harry Bassett Beaten Badly by Monarchist. BE ROI EST MORT, VIVE LE ROI. ° ‘Wellowcraft the Winner of the Two-Year-Old. Race, Nickajack of a Mile and an Eighth Dash, Ortolan of the Mile and Five Farlongs, Monarchist of the Four Mile Dash and Lobelia of the Steeple Chase. “The king is dead; long live the king!” is a sum- ming up in a few words of the Fall meeting. How this was brought about—the attack, the capture of ‘the Bastile of jockeydom, the tumbling over of the Bwite Guards (at the pools) —has been told in these eotumns; but the triumph of the revolution remains tobe told to-day. Putting a snafiie rein orPour memories, we can calmly return to yesterday morn- img, when the air was cool, the sky flecked with Yent clouds and every avenue that led from great ‘@etham to the race course rattling in stony chorus. “Sow, my fragrant boy,” said Fidus <Achates, “you have got something to write about this lovely @ctober mo! 7? ‘ ‘This remark was called forth by the scene along Fifth avenue, as “everybody” came out on wheels to see the final day’s racing at Jerome Park. There ‘was no mistake about it. Four days of the American Jockey Club’s meeting had gone by with- @ut ahything very extraordinary in the way of ageciety display, but THE FIFTH DAY ‘was on the high road to success—through the Park. If the amount of wisdom uttered by Fidus yesterday morning could be laid before the public 4t would shake up the ghosts of all the old philo- ®ophic fogies from Plato to Bacon, and from the Sage of the Woolsack to the Sage of Chappaqua, ‘who, by the by, is still in the flesh, but counted by many as among the things that were. de is, how- ever, not withdrawn, and selling encouragingly in the pools. Fidus isa society moralizer, and there ‘was food for all his comment yesterday. The well- @ressea people “who never go south of Union @quare” and who have their habvitat along the ave- ues were out in force, and the healthy thousands who seldom go north of the Washington statue ‘were on the road for Westchester county en masse, It wasa day of promise, with its bracing air, but that being true of so many days it could have ‘broken the word to the hope which it shouted in ‘the ear as it did on Thursday or Tuesday last. We ould not think of facing that “beggarly display of empty benches” which distinguished Tuesday with @ cheery face, and as we hungour hopes onthe hair that the MEETING BETWEEN THE TWO GREAT RACERS ‘Would attrAct a crowd yesterday it was with satis- , action that thevision of the road through the Park, packed with every imaginable vehicle, rolled itself Before our eyes. The chilly autumnal air, which the sunshine could scarcely warm, gave an impulse to every animal that champed the bit on its way out of New York, Here came the sturdy store- keeper, with his cob harnessed to his business ‘wagon, transformed by some occult process intoa holiday carriage, with his entire family crowded into it, and the address of the gentleman con- cealed artfully by a horse blanket hanging over the stern. HE LOOKS FAT AND HAPPY, and his better halfis fatter and, if possible, hap- pier, while the grown-up relatives and connections, in all shades of size, girth and mirth, keep each other in animal warmth and animal spirits. As ne contemplates such a group trotting to the races the alarming thought forces itself upon Fidus, Wno fs left at home to mind the baby? There are no babies visible anywhere, it might be added. The cob seems, too, to share the jollity of the party, and whisks his stumpy tail as if the ani- mal had not quite made up its mind as to whether it would take to the course fora livell- food or not. It is a recognized fact that where there is room for two there is place for three; but it ts a question for science how four can be hung on @ wagon seated for two. This was accomplished yesterday by a party which exhibited the fourth man perched somewhere between the springs and reclining against the back of the seat, in which were two jaunty gentlemen with the driver on their laps. There was the hack with the hirer and his jovial friends, endeav- ‘oring to look as if this was a part of their private stable, whtch was belied by tne driver, who gave untimely ‘‘sass’’ at the top of his voice when called on to pass “that there machine with the chap in tacles.”’ Perhaps the best sign that it was a field for New York was in the fact that a number of } neg sombre vehicles whose unmistakable business CARRY MOURNERS TO. CALVARY or Greenwood made their appearance on the road. they were, with most unfunereal-looking Visages, craning their necks out of the window, like ‘the grinning skeleton in the dance of death. It was habit, of course, but the big Dutch horses of the sable’ hue could not get it into their heads that they were Fong to the races. They know year in an year out that they come in only at the end of the race of human life, and trey showed a disposition to protest against any change of their routine, It was no use to whip them; they shook their heads sadly, as much as to gay it was all wrong. They were in the habit of ‘walking sedately to ther melancholy destination, and it was out of their comprehensions that they should be asked to trot going anywhere. “If we ‘were only coming home, ONE OF THESE SAD RQUINES SOLILOQUIZED, “we might understand it; but who ever saw a fu- meral at seven miles an hour? The driver must be drunk.” To which his gloomy yokemate added, “Weill, he might get as drunk as he pleased coming back, as he did at the Alderman’s funeral, but this is rous. In justice to our reputations we must iamates, and awearing and whipping by the driver. ‘Those horses must have returne Ko New York in the evening in a highly demoralized condition, that is e 4 co oka’ td race aed 2 they did ie Pickwickian princtple of the bi wheels behind being once Garted it was a moral Ampoasibility to stop.

So much for the wisdom of the ster. ‘The brown horse Ortolan Tuns away with the run ofa mile and five-eighths, with Harry Johnson, another nigger boy, on the the winner's back. HA! THE RACE OF THE DAY AT Last! It would be difficult to picture the intentness and anxiety visible on every face as the first bell rang to clear the track. The horses were brought out, and those who were not “backing their opinions’ took in all that could be seen outside of the blankets that swathed them round. Preakness did not start, but Harry Bassett, with his fine eye, was there, and the great bay horse Monarchist, with strength and speed in_ his limbs, and @ of unsightly blinkers over his eyes, came out. There was old King Henry, too, with his fine jockey (Barby) by his side. Jimmy Roe haa been weighed, and McDaniels walks, acco) to his wont, instrocting the keen-eyed boy to the last moment, Billy Haywood, mm his dark blue colors, and with a cheerful, confident look in his clear eyes, comes out of the weighing house, saddle on arm, and says he ‘feels good,” without any brag in ‘his tones. The track is cleared and ‘ THE RACK BEGINS. Every one feels that equine history is being written in hoofprints before them, and there is a hush and then a murmur. The flag drops and every one crics involuntarily, ‘‘They’re otf.” Aye, off. The victory of Monarchist, which came a week before lke a@ thunderbolt, is in jeopardy now, says the aforesaid everybody. What 18 the matter? MONARCHIST I8 LEADING BASILY and Bassett seems hanging back. “HARRY IS RUNNING A WAITING RACE,”’ ,is the cry, and so it seems, Haywood, who hun; so grimly on Bassett’s flank last week and force the one out of him, is evidently not to be caught by this, and the time being made is not fast. The gap does not widen. At the end of the first the bay is leading, and a deep cheer arises, followed by @ loud buzz of comment. Now Jimmy Roe is letting out his horse; the pace is quickened, and as he asses the club house Haywood calls out to not to crowd him; Monarchist has the inside. He never gives it up. As they end the second mile there is little change in the position except that Haywood is still aead. The gap between them widens at every stride. “Bassett is pumped out now. He is a cur; his heart is broxen. I told you so,” say the wise men, True or false as to his heart or his pluck, Bassett looks beaten. As-he passes around by the club house old McDaniels rushes out and waves on the horse. ‘Let him go” he seems to say; but to no purpose. yrs as sams come round in front of the stand, the old man rushes out and repeats with energy the command’and the gesture. IT 18 TOO LATE. The tornado of cheers that burst forth as Mon- archist dashes past has almost time to die out belore Bassett follows him under the string. The fourtn mile is the same thing, only the gap is widened and oid King Henry seems at the close as if about to pass the great dethroned. The victor comes back quietly, with fre and bottom in him yet, and the enthusiasm Wears itself out soon, for, unlike the race of a week ago, it not been on tension to the last. Thus ended the great race. It was confirmation of another battle. It was the Sedan of Bassett, of which the Saturday revious had been the Forschweiler. ‘The King is lead ; long live the King!” THE RACING. The track was in splendid condition for racing, and the atmosphere pleasant and bracing. All the races came off satisfactorily to the pleasure-seeker and casual looker-on ; but to the speculative genius who follows the fortunes of the turf and who com- monly bets the odds the day was most disastrous, as all the favorites were beaten. Immense amounts of money changed hands. Five Traces were on the card, the first being @ dash of three-quarters of a mile for two-year- olds, with penalties and allowances; the second Tace a free handicap sweepstakes, one mile and one-eighth; the third race a similar one to the other, only the distance was a mile and five fur- longs. The fourth race, however, was the great feature of the day, it being a dash of feur miles be- tween Monarchist and Harry Bassett; and the fifth race was a steeple-chase of about two miles and a half. In the first event there were five starters; com- prising M. A. Littell’s chestnut colt Fellowcraft, by Australian, dam sister to Idlewild; D. D. Withers’ imported bay colt, by Marsyas, dam Mar- chioness; Isaac W. Pennock’s chestnut colt, by Planet, dam Rebecca T. Price; Leonard W. Jerome's bay colt, by Lexington, dam Kitty Clark, and R. W. Cameron's chestnut colt, by Leamington, dam Rebecca. Amore beautiful fleld of two-year-olds never came to the post, all finely formed and well developed, looking like matured horses. Pennock’s colt sold for the highest price in the pools, Fellow- craft second. The latter won a capital race in good time. Mr. Withers’ colt was second, Pen- nock’s third, The second race had nine starters. These were :— James Thompson’s bay gelding Nickajack, by Rogers, dam Capitola; John O'Donnell’s chestnut filly Fanchon, by Australian, dam Idlewild; D. D. Withers’ browa filly Elsie, by Leamington, dam Bapta; D. McDaniel & Co.’s bay filly Eastern Star, by Cape Fiyaway, dam Star of India; T. B. & W. R.

Dawson's iy mare Albuera, by Jeff Davis, dam Ninette; W. Babcock’s bay filly Hattie O'Niel, by dam Bay Dick, Scythian; and John F, Chamberlin’s chestnut colt Wheatley, by War Dance, dam Kilgour’s dam. Fanchon was a great favorite in many instances, being wagered at even money against the field. Nickajack won the race, and he was sold in the field. Fanchon was second, Elsie third. The race was a done, being well contested throughout; and wi Nickajack came leading up the home- stretch the excitement became intense, as he was thought so little of that only five tickets were sold in the Paris mutuals, The persons who bought these tickets realized over eleven hundred dollars Tne thid race had eight starters. ‘Theso e third race e starters, were A.C, Franklin’s bay ed Arizona, by Lexin, dam im} “one; F. M. Hall’s bay colt John Mer- ryman, genie, dam La Rose; D, McDaniel & Co.'s bay Mly Sue ‘Ryder, by Knight of St. George, dam Glycera; Carrol & Coar’s brown horse Ortolan, by Doneraile, dam Canary Bird; D.

Weldon’s gray @ Mary Louise, by ht- ning, dam by Sovereign; John Morrissey's chestnut horse Defender, by John Morgan, dam Oynconia; and W. It. Dawson’s bay horse Gao, by Jei dam Ninette. Sue Ryder was a great favorite this race, Ortolan second choice, Arizona third, Ortolan won it very cleverly, Defender second, Arizona third.

Knowing tle pe- culiarity of this strain of blood we come to the con- clusion that Harry Bassett has been ipered and indulged until he has become @ cunning rogue, and will probably never with a horse that he knows is equal and will press him fer a le of time, He has a great turn of speed, as every one knows, and this excellence carried him to the front through all his three-year-old stakes, His great run at Bal- timore Jast Autumn with Helmbold, four-mile heats, which he seemed to win sani, gave him a prestige beyond any horse in the North, and Harry Bassett was considered and acknowledged the beat race horse on this side of the Allegh: Mountains, ye even wanting to claim him as the champion of the world. Banters were sent across the Atlantic to match any three-year-old that they would send over. Then came the rivalry between the Kentuckians with Longfellow and the Eastern men with Harry Bassett, and the most fabulous stories were told of what Harry Bassett had done in his training and that four miles in the time made by his lustrious sire— 1:19%—would be but @ hand gallop for the son. His owners were exceedingly anxious to match the horse for a race of that nature, and as Harry Bas- sett ran and won, few owners of other horses would allow themselves to be considered foolish enough to start in any race against him. Long- fellow, however, came on from Ken- tucky, backed = by the best sons of the “dark and bloody ground,” and at the meet- ing at Monmouth Park for the cup, a race of two sand a half, Harry Bassett struck his flag, and surrendered aiter an engagement of only one mile and ahalf. He then went to Saratoga, and met Longfellow again for the Saratoga Cup, .where he ran the best race of his life, and won {t By, a length, making the best time ever made in this country, and destroying Longfellow forever for the turf, ‘Then he returned with his honors thick upon him, and for exercise was entered in paltry dashes, and his owners fattened on his successes. But the great champion has met with two defeats by a good horse in one week, and the presumption is that, as his “middle tendon of the near fore ieg” ig broken, he will be retired from the turf and be placed in the stud. Few will be- Heve the story about the broken tendon, and until some well-known veterinary surgeon gives the pub- lic a deposition to that effect the impression will rest on the minds of all who witnessed the two races between him and Monarchist that the latter is the best horse. The fifth race was a steeple chase, which had five contestants for the premium offered, consist- ing of R. Shea’s brown colt Astronomer, by Aste- roid, dam Carter, four years old, 133 lbs.; eae Donahue’s brown horse Blind Tom, by Star Davis, dam Margravine, six years old. 152 lbs.; Joseph Donahue’s bay filly Mary Henneusey, by Tipperary, dam Olio, four years old, 140 Ibs. ; Coffin & Lawrence's bay horse Lochiel, by Bonnie Scotland, dam Bonnet, four years old, 152 Ibs., and James Thompson’s bay mare Lobelia, by Bonnie Scotland, dam Capitola, aged, 145 Ibs. chiel was a great favorite over the field, but the old mare Lobelia beat him and won a good race, which was highly satisfactory to the specta- tors, notwithstanding that Mary Hennessey and Astronomer fell in the race, Neither the horses nor their riders were injured.

Monarchist went oif first, King Henry second, Harry Bassett third, the latter being pulled to make a trailing race, something new tor the “champion,” as in all previous races he always made for the lead as soon a8 a@ clear opening presented itself. Going around the upper turn Monarchist led five lengths, King Henry second, two lengths in advance of Bas- Sett, Who was (ec, fat louble. As the horses ran under the bluff Harry Bassett took second place, Roe seeming incapable of keeping Bassett back, and while going around the lower turn Bassett shut up the daylight entirely between him and Monarch- ist.. The pace up to this moment had been very slow, but when Bassett came up and made play Mon- archist cut loose, and they came up the home- stretch racing. Colonel McDaniel was on the track, one hundred yards from the judges’ stand, and as Bassett and Monarchist came up the home- stretch yoked, McDaniel called to Roe, with @ wave of his hand, to go on. Roe did go on, and so did Hayward with Monarchist, and as they passed under the string they were running very fast, Harry Bassett having his head in front, King Henry six lengths behind. The mile was made in 1:52. Bassett and Monarchist then ran around the upper turn as if they meant business, Harry Bassett’s neck being in view all the way in front of Monarchist’s nose. They came down and passed under the bluff in this way, and then circled around the hill out of sight for several seconds. When we saw them again they were clinched, and there was no diifer- ence between them. They were yoked together, and from the reporter’s stand Monarchist only could be seen, Harry Bassett being on the off side of him. They rushed on and swung into the home- stretch like a well-matched team, taking stride for stride, without the slightest deviation in time, and as the crowd gazed in admiration of the great con- test the horses were nearing the north end of the Grand Stand. Bassett had been on the outside all the way to _ this joint, but now he_ suddenly relinquished is place at the head of Monarclust, and fell behind Dim and took the inside position in the rear. He was beaten at this moment, which, being seen first by the stable boys and trainers, notice was given to the stand and Club House by the yells and shouts of the ragged brigade, and in an instant every one was satisiied that Harry Bassett was no longer champion, Hayward, when he felt the situation, immediately took Monar- chist in hand, and passed the stand on @ strong gallop, making the second mile in 1:474g, the two miles being in 8:39%, and then, taking an occasional look behind him, went on with the race, as Monarchist wanted to go without pressure, coming past the stand at the end of the third mile one hundred yards ahead, the time being 5:36%, and. going on at a good exercising lop for a scrape, camé home a winner of the race by two hundred ards, in 7:33:44; Harry Bassett pegond Ar ards in front of King Henry. Harry tt not seem much distressed when he was pulled up, and did not show any sign of lameness, the assertion of interested parties to thec ontrary notwithstanding. The Fifth Race.

The horses had a send-off, and as they ran at the first hurdle, ich was placed on the frac- tional track just behind the ju stand, Lobelia took the lead and was the first to go over the brush, Lochiel second, lary Hennessey third, Blind Tom fourth, Astronomer fifth. The horses then ran to the extreme end of the fractional track, and then wheeling to the right jumped the fence into the south field, belia was over first, Mary Hennessey second, Lochiel third, Astronomer fourth, Blind Tom fifth. ‘The horses jumped the hedges, hurdies and ditches which were stationed in their way without chang- ing places until they began toapproach the water jump in front of the people. ‘his was the eleventh jump im the race. Lochiel showed the wi over the hedge and water, being closely followed by Mary Hennessey, Astronomer third, Lobelia fourth, Bind Tom fifth. Lochiel kept in front over the hurdie, down the narrow path between the two tracks, and showed the way as he crossed the track and went through the gate, where he ana the others were to jump @ hedge abruptly as they turned to ascend the ill to the picnic grounds, Lochiel was successful, but as Mary Hennessey wheeled and jumped she fell, and as Astronomer was pulled to avoid going on top of the mare he tripped and fell also. Ti left the race now to Lochiel, Lobelia and Blind Tom. Lobelia rushed up the hill to the very top, jumped the stone wall there, dashed down the rocks like a chamois, and, com! into the south field rapidly, had a lead of Lochiel of a dozen lengths as she jumped the stone wall in the feld, Jim Henry, her rider, then made all haste out of the field, over the hurdle, at the foot of the biuf, into the fleld and over the three or four hedges and ditches thereth, and then made out of the course on to the regular track near the three-quarter pole with a@ lead of six lengths, But at this time Lochiel was goin; like the wind, but his bellows was being affecte: more and more as he advanced with the pressure. le it Lobelia at the last hurdle on the stretch, but just at that moment he shot his bolt, for the old mare beat him to the stand a length. Blind Tom was a dozen lengths behind. The given was 5:32, ‘eon this ended the racing at Jerome Park for OORONERS’ WORK YESTERDAY. Coroner Young was yesterday notified to hold ar inquest on the body of a boy, aged three years, named Jcseph Lynch, son of Thomas Lynch, of 244 West Forty-seventh street.

He was carried toa org store in Eighth avenue by his mother, but died ina few minutes from in- ternal and external injuries, Coroner Keenan held inquests on Elizabeth Stout, d fifty years, of 339 East Thirty-third stree' who died suddenly on Friday, and in the case Clarinda Becrot' 1d sixty-nine years, of 66 Bed- jord street, whovdied suddeniy on the pate day.

THE NATIONAL GAME. 4 | Continuation of the Grand Tournament— The Athletics Going for That One Thousand Hight Hundred Dollar Prize—Another Game Lost by the Mua- tuals. The crowd in attendance at the ball match yes- terday on the Union Grounds was not so large as on previous occasions during the tournament, although about fourteen hundred persons paid their Afty cents admittance at the gate. As the weather was somewhat more propitious than on Friday the general impression seemed to prevail that the play would be marked by fine flelding on either side, but in this the epectators were wrong, ag the Mutuals have seldom played worse than they did in three or four innings on this occasion. Ful- mer and Hatfield were their especial weak points, Beither of them seeming able to throw tie ball anywhere but in the wrong place. YACHTING. The Cape May Challenge Cap—The Pale mer Arrived at 7:45 P. M. Friday. The schooner yacht Palmer, the contestant for the Cape May Challenge Cup, with the schooner yacht Dreadnaught, arrived at Sandy Hook Light ship at 7:45 P. M. on Friday. The Palmer appears to have experienced very heavy weather, ‘as she was three times stripped to the bare poles. The first time was about 6:30 P, M. on Thursday, which must have been the same squall that the Dreadnaught took under mainsail, fore- sail, maintopsail, foretopsall, jib and fying-jib. Mr. Rutherford Stuyvesant, the owner of the Pal- mer, was sailing his own yacht. Although the canvas was lowered so often, as @ precaution- ary measure, they did not reef untit ust before turning the — Lightshij The Imer rounded the Srive Fatnoms Lightshtp at 4:30, just about one hour behind the Dreadnought. Comling home the Palmer did not shake out a feet ‘The Athletics went first to bat, and through the most stupid errors imaginable on the part of the Mutuals they scored geven unearned runs. Cuth- bert, the first striker, hit well to left fleld for two bases. McBride gave McMullen a nice fly, which ‘was well attended to, Anson took the batand sent John Hatfleld a warm grounder, which that player picked up finely, but in throwing to first sent the ball with such force, notwithstanding there was no occasion for it, as to split Start’s hand. Had the ball been thrown directly at Start the velocity with which it came would not have made much differ- ence, but instead of throwing it at him Hatfictad sent the ball about four feet to Joo’s right, which precluded the possibility of its being held. This absurd error cost the Mutuals every run the Athletics got in that inning, as the next striker was taken on a foul fly by Hicks, when, instead of but two being out the side should have been retired. Hicks, Pearce, Fulmer, Hatfleld and Boyd made other glaring errors before the inning was concluded, Of course the Mutuals drew a blank as their portion of this model inning, although Anson failed to hold a line ball from Hat- field's bat. In the second inning the first Athletic striker was taken by Hatfleld and Start, and the next one—Reach—got to his second base on a bad throw of Cummings to Start. Malone now sent up a high fy to Pearce in right fleld, and the moment that player took it Reach started for third base. He was not fast enongh however, as Pearce threw ‘the ball tn nicely to Hatfleld, who in turn passed it to Boyd as quick as thought and as hot and before Mr. Reach could reach the bag the ball was on him. This little bit of fielding was quite a treat alter the miserable Pond of the first pune and the spectators showed their appreciation of it by applaudi lustily. A dropped foul fly by An- son, and good nits by Hicks, Pearce and McMallen, secured for the “Mutes’ two runs, one of them earned. A bad throw by start to Hatfleld, a passed ball by Hicks and a three-base hit by Mack, a two baser by Malone and a single one by Fisler gave the Athletics three runs in the last inning. When the “Mutes” went into the field in this inning they very Pollan, took Fulmer from short and placed him at third, sent Boyd trom third to right feld and brought Pearce in to short. After blanking the Athletics in the fourth inning the Mutuals got in a run through an error of Fisler. Neither side scored in the fifth inning, Cuthbert and McMullan each making fine catches in the left field. A foul bound to Hicks and a neat double play by Peirce, Hatfield and Start disposed of the Philadelphians in the sixth inning, but not until they had gotten in a run off Fulmer’s bad throw to first base of Cuth- bert’s ball, Start was given out on first by a very close decision of the umpire, Boyd made a base hit to short field, Hicks was taken on the fly by Treacy—but not until he had fouled the ball four times, each time hitting Malone in the shoulder— and Pearce was beautiiully taken by Cuthbert in left fleld, thus closing the inning for another blank. The seventh inning was made abet | by & good running catch each by McMullen and Cuthbert, and a foul bound well taken by Malone. Neither side scored. The Athletics were whitewashed again im the eighth inning, McMullen making a long run for a foul ball which he ot on the bound, and then the lew Yorkers went in for two runs off errors by McGeary, Fisler and McBride, Eggler came to the front with a magnificent one hand running catch in the last inning, which was warmly applauded, and the side having been put out for another of “those round things,” the Mutuals took the ash for a last attempt. A muff by McGeary came very near giving the New York boys a run, but only very near, as the last man was put out at first base, just as Fulmer was crossing the home plate. From the above it will be seen that Hatfield alone lost the game to the Mutuals, as his throw in the first inning gave the Athletics seven runs, without which they would have been defeated by a score of as an oven, 4to5, The following is the score:— Players.

A Poor German Emigrant Robbed and Fatally Stabbed by an Emigrant Runner in Jersey City—The Ruffian Escapes. Anton Beder and his family arrived in this coun- try from Germany by the steamship Westphalia about eight wetks ago. They proceeded to the Erie depot at Jersey City and procured tickets to Hornelisville, N. Y. They were followed on the train by @ notorious character known as Mike Con- nolly, alias James Martin, who made several inef- fectual attempts to become intimate with Beder. The latter understood English very imperfectly, and thus he bluffed the sharper foratime. Con- nolly stuck to his game and actually procured a bed beside that of Beder. He left the car at Susferns station and was seen no more. Beder, suspectin; that all was not right, examined his wallet, which had contained 32% in gold and the railroad tickets for himself und his family. All were gone. The alarm that was raised was simply useless, for Con- nolly was far beyond reach. The conductor allowed the unfortunate victim and his family to ride to their destination. Beder met his brother, to whom he related the facts, and efforts were made to cap- ture the thief. After waiting two days at the Erie depot in Jersey City the two brothers espied their man yesterday morning, standing in front of Taylor's restaurant, on the dock, He was evidently laying m wait for another party of emigrants who were preparing to take. the train, aud he did not notice the Beders, Anton kept watch upon him while his brother went into the depot to look for an ofMicer. Connolly turned suddenly around, and, seeing Beder, started up Pavonia avenue and across the railroad track. der was close on him, and grappling with him, a flerce contest ensued. Beder threw him to the ground, and while in this ition Gounolly drew a dirk knife and stabbed him twice in the abdomen. He then :jumped off and ran in the direction of Hobo- ken. The railroad employés who pursued soon lost my ot him. Beder at ercd a few paces and fell, He was conveyed to St. Mary's Hi ital in Hoboken, and no hope whatever is entertained of his recovery. THE LEARY HOMICIDE. A Wife Killed by Her Insane Husband while on # Leave of Absence. Coroner Keenan yesterday held an inquest in the case of Satah Leary, of 628 East Ninth street, who, on 80th ult., was struck by a saw in the hands of her husband, Patrick Leary, and died a few days after, The evidence showed that Leary had been allowed out of the Insane Asylum on & leave of absence @ few days before and was still insane. On the evening in eg about halt past six, the daugh' Ty Mary, hearing screams in her parents’ room, ran in and saw her father standing over her mother with asaw, with which he had struck her. Seeing his daughter he turned and struck her also, and she was compelled to take refuge in another house. ‘The deceased became unconsctous the same night of the assault, and died two days afterwards, daughter reports that her jather has betrayed symptoms of insanity for two years. The jury re- turned @ verdict in accordance with the and believing the man to have been Insane at the tu the Coroner sent hii 0 the Tombs, to be examined by the pbysician. until of the Highlands, The Palmer made the entire run in 26h. 46m. 58. It ia very evident that the Palmer was not pushed during the race and if her captain had let her canvas stand there would, robably, have been one of the prettiest races of ihe season.
