He stated that it was mot only their duty to inquire into the cause of death, but also whether the Superintendent of * Buildings had complicd with the law; whether the fandiord had evaded the law in not providing suMcient means of exit; whether itis right that buildings to be used as factories shall be built so high as to endanger the lives of the working peo- ple who leave home in the morning never to re- tarn, perhaps, to their families alive, and, in short, io find whether there was any carelessness, and, ifso, on the part of whom, and to fix the re- sponsibility where it properly helonged. trusted tiuey would make a searching investiga- tion and not hesitate Lo censure, if any person de- hodies, -served censure. ‘he witnesses who testified before the Fire Mar- al were then called and the evidence (already Published) was read over to them and verilled, The first was Joseph bs hia foreman of Dun, Bar- is evidence, and stated that he notified all on his oor of the fire and as- tow & Co., who verified aisted to get them out, Joan Vanlatner verified his evidence, and in ad- @iuon said the men generally considered the build- dug wisaie.

He Geacribed the fire escapes; there had been a slight re once before; some time ago, when the earth- quake occurred, the men ran out, fearing it would fall; it was the general talk of the men that the building was in a dangerous condition; the occu- pants who en let down.

BROOKLYN CMY GOVERNME Organization of the Board of Alder- men fer the Year 1873. be ORS ee han Sar The Ring Heavily Assailed by an Independent Democratic Alderman—John M. Clancy Elected President of the Board and W. C. De Witt Corporation Connsel. The Brooklyn Board of Aldermen reorganized for the year 1873 yesterday afternoon. At three o’clock the doors were open and a rush was made by the spectators for eligible sites in tae Council Chamber. The apartment was shortly aftererowdea in every part, and the business was commenced, Mayor Powell, who occupied the chair, called the meeting to order. Mr, O'Reilly, of the Twelfth ward, nominated Alderman Clancy, of the Fifth ward, for chairman of the Board, Alderman Tay- lor, of the Thirteenth ward, nominated Alderman Richardson, of the Twenty-first'ward, for the.chair- manship of the Board. Alderman WiLky then arose and opened a SCATHING SPEECH AGAINST THE “RING,” against the men who pronounced themselves dem- ocrats, whereas their only aim was that they might thrust their arms into the treasury up to the shoulder. In the great city .of Brooklyn dishonest oMiciais had extraordinary opportunities for avoiding critivism of their acts and punishment of their crimes. The masses of the people were occupied daily with their own legitimate pursuits, Hence the dishonest officials grew deflant in disre- gard of decency and integrity, untilin time their audacity was equal to the formation of a corrupt combination, which left no sa/ety for the public treasury short of GORGING THE NUNGRY MISCREANTS, Had the people known one-half of the criminal venaiity o/ the Ring and its favorites they would ere this have overwhelmed tiem at the ballot box and arraigned them at the bar of justice for the felonies they had committed. In regard to THB BAST RIVER BRivU, Alderman Wiley said that the veil of secrecy was drawn over the expenditures of money, and the light of day exciuded from every transaction re- ledng this Proat public work, Fifteen percent of the chtire if to compensate the King of the Ring-for manipulat- ing the purchase aud sales necessary to the con- struction of the bridge; aud hen ry foummntiteg of citizens began to push nqul trangactions of the secret Board of Directors the pron eo were Mena e ppaiaad fast ae pang ot his King of the Ring in returning $50,000 o! the salary“ affélay Fata it in sen | one year's services, A little further Investigation showed there were most remarkable relationg ex. isting between the men who controlled tht bridge and those who controlled thé SaWiiill which fur- nished the lumber used in its construction.

When the war broke out the Doctor, thena citizen of Illinois, went as Surgeon of the Thirty-third Mlinois Resinest, and was Medical Director of the United States 11 in Texas, and, of course, is well known, The SCHENCK, who knew in consumption While in New York I visited the rooms of Dr. J. SCHENCK, No. 22 Bond street, and was much pt with what I saw there; and would suggest, as consu: Dp tiomis generally regarded as incurable by'most of the medical profession, that physicians would do as T have aud see for themselves the call on Dr, SCHE: 01 great Cs aa of his medicines and how accurately he h } its out the diseased part. However they might differ in opinion with Dr. SCHENCK they would be treated as gentlemen. I saw there a youn Jady it bowels constipated, copious sweats, with great debi and emaciation, which finally culminated in copious and repeated hemorrhages from the lungs, in which condition she was given up as hopelessly incurable by her medical attendant, Dr. SCHENCK was cailed to see her, and prescribed his remedies. The MANDRAKE PILLS cleansed the stomach and bowels, the SEAWEED TO! gave her a voracious appetite, while the PULMO: SYRUP relieved her iungs, aud ‘he finally recovered. | examined this lady, and (ound that her right luug was ip & normal condition, hut in the lett the respiratory mur- mur was absent, and there was every indication that the medicines had climinated the turberculous matter, and « icatrix had closed the air-cells, and aiforded striking evi- t benefit she pad derived trom the use of Dr, SCHARNCK'S medicines. i conversed with a gentleman who evidently had had tubercles in_his lungs, and had been using Dr. SCHENCK’S medicines several months, and was rapidly recovering; this gentleman intormed me that he had had a distressing cough, night sweats, . loss of appetiie, low spirits, and was rapldly stnking to the grave, but was curad’ by the timely ‘use of Dr. iu | SCHENOR’S remedies.
