GARDNER, son-in-law of the late | ent of the Sunday school, ealled the assemblage to school on Eleventh street. During the day vast mumbers of people surrounded the remains, and ‘their tears and prayers mingled together beside ‘the bed. The cld women of the parish, who were endeared tothe Vicar General by his many charities and ‘virtues, were sincere in their lamenta- tions, and their grief was fully expressed at the irreparable loss they had sustained, Whis faithful, diligent and noble gentleman ‘and priest was ordained when there were but four Catholic parishes in New York. He lived to see ‘the time when fifty Cathoiic parishes were recorded in the municipal annals. In the days when Father Starrs came to this country New York was young and undeveloped. He came ten years betore Dickens, and with the energy that was inherent in him, coming as he aid ‘vith the earnest recommen- ‘@ations from the Propaganda, he settled down to his work as a pastor of the Church. The Most Reverend Archbishop McCloskey thought very Mhighly of the deceased. Father Starrs was a very kindly gentleman to all those who came-tosee him. He. had a gentle, placid nature, but he was a re- Berved man. The orphans and the victims of un- fortunate circumstances will regret very sincerely ‘the loss of Father Starrs. His was a nature not to differ with men; he discriminated between the good and the bad admirably. To children he ‘was always kind, and the many yeung iris and boys who have had occasion speak their pieces at exhibitions can never Yorget the gentle face and candid smile of the good priest and gentleman who now lies cold. The Right Reverend Archbishop McCloskey was ‘Bnremitting in his attentions to the Vicar General, and yesterday he spent the greater part of the day fm the pastoral residence. Bishop Lynch, of Charleston, an old, aristocratic Southern gentle- man, stood by the dying priest's bed. In the aimness of the room the sacred rites of the Apostolic Church of 1,800 years duration were administered. The Very Rev. Archbishop of New York spoke to the dying man, and he was recognized in a most kindly manner. “I know you,” said the dying riest, “you are the Reverend Archbishop; then ie fell away into that sleep which has a regenera- tion in the other world, e good old gentleman was gathered to the resurrection, and those who Knew him will mourn his loss in all the time to wome. Among those who visited the remains yesterday ‘were Bishop McNelrney, of Albany; Bishop Lynch, f Charleston; Archbi Bailey, of Baltimore, ‘imate of the United States; ee re ce of rooklyn, and Fathers Quinn, of St. Peter’s; ‘D’Reilly, of St. Mary’s; Weyrich, Superior of the Order of Redempserists; Drumgorli, O’Leirne, ®’Keefe, Maguire, Beaudevin, S.J. The Very Rev. Father Farrell, of St, Joseph's church, anda number of other distinguished clergymen. The body will lie in state to-day at the pastoral Fesidence, No. 263 Mulberry street, and to-morrow <Sunday) afternoon, the remains of the good Vicar ‘will be transferred to the Cathedral, where they will remain until they are taken to Calvary Cemetery for interment. On Sunday a(ternoon the service for the dead wil be chanted at four o’clock precisely. On Monday morning, at half-past ten o'clock, a grand ‘Tequiem mass will be offered oP for the repose of ‘the departed priest. The Archbishop of New York ‘Will oMciate, in his pontifical vestments. The raison fundbre will be made b4 Bishop Loughlin, Bi Brooklyn. It is expected that a great many nevolent societies will attend the funeral of Vicar ‘General Starrs. Xequiscat in pace, NEWBURG NOTES. Attempted Suicide by a Presbyterian E£lder—Death of Vicar General Starrs A Presbyterian Church Beeomes a Methodist Society. Newsvre, Feb. 7, 1873. Mr. William Johnston, for many years gardener for Mr. Henry Ball, of the well-known firm of Ball, Black & Co., this morning attempted to commit Buicide by cutting his throat with @ razor, at his residence, on the estate of Mr. Ball, about a mile morth of this city. His injuries, though severe, ‘wit, however, it is hoped, not result @atally. Mr. Johnston had recently been suffering from illness, and committed the act while laboring under temporary derangement @imind. He is an elder in the Westminster Ke- formed Presbyterian church of this city and a man ‘Rightly respected in the community. the several schools jn connection with St. ‘ick’s Roman Catholic church of this city were closed to-day as ‘a mark of respect to the memory of the late Very Kev. Dr. William Starrs, Vicar General of the Archdiocese of New York, whose lamented death occurred yesterday in that city. The congregation of the St. Paul's German Pres- Dyterian church of this city have recently voted ‘to become a Methodist society, and will, probably, on the conclusion of the preliminary arrange- ments, be received into the German Conierence connected with the Methodist Episcopal Church, JOHN WEISS Lecture om the “Cause of Laughter,” at Robinson Hall. Rey. John Weiss lectured on “Thg Cause of Laughter,” at Robinson Hall, last night. There ‘was a very slim house, the cause of which was to de found in the weather. Those present ‘were in appearance an _ inteilectual, not to say fashionable audience, Mr. Weiss in- troduced himself, and by a few introductory Words introduced his subject. He reasoned that as Many animals have proven that they are suscepti- ble of feeling serrow, they must also be susceptible of feeling joy, and consequentiy laughter. A pun, he said, wasa bringing together of incongruous ddeas in one sound. Wit is the bringing together of foreign words in one idea. The whole lecture ‘Was interspersed with lively anecdotes, many of “Which were “The Cause of Laughter.” GILBERT ELEVATE) RAILROAD, A meeting of the Board of Directors of the Gilbert Elevated Railroad was held yesterday afternoon at ‘the offices of the company, corner of Liberty street nd Broadway. The Board is composed of eleven members, seven of whom constitute a quorum. The following gentlemen were present at the mecting yesterday :—William Foster, Jr., the Presi- dent; H. H. Van Dyck, George H Brown, Andrew M. Kinney, W. R. Travers, Isaac P. Martin and Rufus H. Gilbert.

Mr. Lee suid he gould carry out a what ave! people wished. Mach contusion prevail ny Several Fhetorical effusions were made in benaif or the “ing” and against the “outs,” and amid numerous yells from democratic and repuviican throats tae Meeting was adjourneé by Mr. Joun Mcioske who was chairman o! the mecting. It was teared that a free fight might I indulged in, but the resence of eighs polcemen gverawed the 4 Sent elements. | 7 ee - that a committee, composed of Oswald Ottendorfer, L. ©. Wehner, Anfaenger, Henry Clausen and Schoenhott, had been to the Capitol, where, before the joint’ Committee of the Legislature on Cities, the adoption of the charter ameadments proposed by the Committee of Seventy and the separation of the charter election from the general election had been urged, and that the Mayor be invested with the sore power ot ppeinkhs and re- moving heads of departments; further, that pro- vision be made fur a charter election in the Spring. Mr. WEHNER gave a@ lengthy account of the movements of that committee at the Capitol, and its epnmens before the joint committee oi the Legislature, in substance as above. He concluded his remarks by stating that the committee recelved a cordial and paticnt hearing trom the Legislative committee at Albany, The report of the committee was approved by a unanimous vote. Mr. OTTENDORFER briefly reviewed the proceedings of the Legislature in regard to the amended charter bill. The resolution of the Executive Committee in reference to the formation of a committee was adopted, with the additional provision, that the committee be formed by the Executive Committee from its own members, and that the same shall have full power to take further action in the Jnatter. SUPERHEATED STEAM. The Last Tilt of the Season—Norman Wiard Rises to Explain and Contro- verts Captain Kidd. The Polytechnic branch of the American Institute held its regular monthly meeting at the Cooper Institute last night. Mr. Sillman called the Polytechnic to order and after discussions on ‘Paper’? and other subjects superheated steam was announced as in order, ‘The President then introduced Mr. GrorcE K. Osaoop, who presented some pieces of wood, a few. of which were charred, These, he said, had been subjected to 600 degrees Fahrenheit. . He deter- mined the temperature by the melting of lead. ‘The experiment was made by use of a common stone oven. The woods of different kinds were CUT INTO SPLINTERS - of different sizes and placed in different portions of the oven. Some large pieces in;the bottom were charred, while larger pieces near them showed no effects of heat. Mr. Usgood then drew a diagram upon the blackboard filustrative of the manner in which steam is (aden Blea by bricks. While ening the diagram, Mr. Kidd offered a few re- NORMAN WIARD explained Mr. Osgood’s theory, and stated that if you should pass a steam pipe through a bale of cotton it might become hot enough in the centre of the bale to cause the cot- ton to ignite while the bale on the exterior was Mr. Kipp stated that he had been engaged in Manufactures requiring the use of superbeated steam. He had tound that steam was THE WORST CONDUCTOR IN NATURE. Steam might be passed througn red hot pipes and come out at the end at 300 degrees of heat and net be ee of producing fire. He added that all Mr. Wiard the Fire Marshal had said was JUST OLD BOSH. Mr. PARTRIDGE rose to say that he was tired of hearing people who were interested in the use ofsu- perheated steam come before the Polytechnic and endeavor to strangle the question at issue. Every one knew that the steam ignited combustibles, aud the only poiat was to arrive at some basis whereby the diameter of the hole through which a pipe of one inch in aiameter should pass through a floor might be determined, so that the people could prevent fires from this cause. Norman Wiard rose to explain, and as he was leaving the platiorm was interrupted by Mr. Kidd, who wished to apologize. Mr. Kipp—I have no axe to grind—. Mr. NORMAN W1ARD—I have been insulted py your fellows long enough, and I don’t wish to hear’ any | more of it.- Iam tired. Alter further remarks of no particular impor- tance the society adjourned its meeting. THE LIBERAL OLUB, A Paper by Professor Elsbergh on “The Subdivistons of Science.” The hall of the Liberal Club was crowded last night, on the occasion of the reading of a paper by Dr. Louis Elsbergh on the subject of “The Sub- divisions of Selence and their Classifications.” This is the seventh lecture.on the classifica- tion of science withim a year. “The digtinguish- ing characteristics of man,” he said, ‘were cen- tred in ts ability ‘to knew’ and ‘to do.’ Knewledge known and systematized becomes sci- ence, as in a simijar manner action has givem rise to art. Each subdivision ef science in which a suf- ficient amount of exact knowledge has been ac- cumulated to have been generalized and systema- tized is entitled to the distinction of an indepen- dent science. But we should never lose sight of the fact that all these are really parts of a whole—viz., human knowledge. The lecturer quoted from Her- bert Spencer:—‘‘No succession in which the sci- ences can be piaced represents either their logical dependence or their historical dependence,” and he quoted from Auguste Comte, “There can be no hierarchy of science.” He then produced a chart, ) of Assistant Aldermen. The following are the main delay in Mr. Green’s office in handing in the warrants. with tables, by which he illustrated his subject, and won high encomiums from those present. The other speakers were Professor Van Den Weyd and Drs. Weatherbee, Lambert, Atkinson and Wakeman.

And, first in order to the aecom- plishment of this purpose, we knew that It was neces. sary to expunge from the statute book the laws manutac- tured in their interest. But the “Ring” charter is still a law. Efforts have been made heretotore for the repeal of this offensive charter, and the question 1s, “What shall: be the charter to replace it? You, Mr. Mayor, have expressed ex- plicitly your opinion of what ils chief and prominent provisions should be. F It is greatly to be desired that the conduct of our city affairs should be removed from the iniluence of general and partisan politics by a system of Spring elections. You advocate a charter which shall confer on the Mayor the power mainly of making, appointments, and we think hat you ure right. ‘the Mayor is the chief executave offl- cer of the city, and heis responsible for it, ‘To place the patronage of this city at ihe disposal of fiiteen Aldermen wouid be to set in motion the very influences which most strongly contribute to the formation of rings, ‘You possess the confidence of our, fellow citizens in your high office, and we believe, as Mayor of the city, ‘that you are capable, if untrammelied, oi giving us a go city government. Mayor Havemeyer said :— GxntLeweN—While Tam very happy to receive you as representing a large body of our citizens, I, of course, do not feel that 1 am approached because of any sentiments that Ihave uttered which happened to be in accordance with your own. Itis very agreeable to find my convictions in accord- ance with those of any body of citizens, and I apyreciate the address, and should hail with pleasure any ex @gssion from any party, political or otherwise. ' : have been elceied on the retorm ticket, so-called. I dedlined the republican nomination because I did not ine tend to bind myself to any party, and as I was nominated by @ representative body of the cluzens of New York. I am, of course, bound in the administration of my duties by the complexion of the nominating committee, which ‘ag neither democratic nor republican, yet both, and a ‘unit on the question of reform. ‘With the greatest respect ior the republican narty, hay. ing voted for Grant and Dix because | thought them both honest men. Tat the same time feel that the republican “party in is State has lost some character of late in i” led. administered and influenced by a coterie who fambie all night to cleat each other and intrigue all day ‘o cheat the people. With such I cannot contesce. have no sympathies with them, however friendly I may be to the mass of the party they represent. THE NEW RING FRAUDS, Comptroller Green forwarded to the Mayor yesterday afternoon @ lengthy document, setting forth newly discovered frauds in the erection of the New Court House. It is stated that the figures, when given in their completeness, will show a further robbery from the City Treasury of more than thirty millions. The document is to be printed in pamphlet form and will contain several tabular statements. The following is a summary of what the published ‘transcripts from the accounts show, The Court House Commissioners, it will be re- membered, sppoigtad December 1, 1870, consisted of Ingersoll, Norton, Coman and Walsh, with a special appropriation to eomplete the Court House. Of the amount $598,215 15 was paid out on war- rants issued trom November 3, 1370, to March 4, 1871, Of this sum $305,798 is traced direct to Inger- soll’s private bank account in the Bowery Bank, and, in addition, $127,118 1s traced to the same account aiter going through others, making a total of $432,016 out of the whole sum. This was done within thirty days of the first payments of the $600,000 appropriktion. Asa turther ppook of the enormous frauds, it ap- pears that, with three exceptions, nune of the partion whose names were used ever received the checks. It appears, then, from all these statements and figures that the commissioners spent $1,066,482, of which there may have been genuine payments of $450,513; but of this sum there are no proper vonehers for $200,000, and it 1s stated there Is reason for believing the charges to be as fraudu- lent as the rest. But even assuming the whole $450,513 to be a genuine expenditure, there is still left a sum of $615,959 iraudutently expended, and of which was deposited by Ingersoll to his own private account the sum of $590,509, THE FINANCIAL FRAY, Another Letter from Chamberlain Palmer in Reply to Comptroller Green. A circular of six pages in reply to Comptroller Green’s letter to the Mayor was issued yesterday by Chamberlain Palmer and addressed tothe Board points of the letter:— In reply to the charge that the Chamberlain, his neglect to made the city there was any ec through Pay the State tax into the State ‘Treasury, ible for interest, Mr. Palmer says that it delay in payments it was solely due to the In reference to the charge of depriving the city of interest, Mr. Palmer says:— It would have been an casy matter for the interest money of the last year, amotinting, as he says, to some AN, HN, to have Lon since been paid into the public treas- ury, if he would only have withdrawn the obstacle he hiinselfinterposed to the operation of a law which has been solemnly adjudged to be still in full force, for that has been the only obstacle in the way ot my having already collected that interest. The language of the President of one of the banks, in answer to my demand the interest, tells the story: “and for which, under date ot June 3, 1872, You requested us to draw dur check in your favor, which we could not comply with, as we had been warned by the Comptroller not to do ad.” And Nis persistency in his course is shown by the extraordinary fact that it is only within a few days that he sent into the Chamberlain’ s offi y its expenses out of the avails of taxation at large, which I Fefused to allow, but insisted that the depositbanks should pay them. "the charge about refusing permisston to pay $1,000,000 directly to ‘the State through the Manhattan Company is retuted by the citation of the law, which is express" that for any money in the public treasury shall be upon the Chamberiain and not upon the deposit banks.” As to the insinuation that the rate of compensation to the Chamberlain as County Treasurer was the product of a legislation, the Chatnberiuin quotes the laws since ¢ the necessary papers to di In concluding his reply, Mr. Palmer says:— One of the first acts which Thad to perform, on taking my office, was to resist the Comptroller's attempt to wet the entire control of the public moneys, and strip them of the protection which the law had wicely provided for them. The disclosures then being made warned me how dangerous it might be to allow such # usurpation to suc- ceed, and I was advised und believed that it was my duty to keep & watch over the drafts of the Comptroller apon those moneys. So far as the State moneys were concerned it was my duty, not the City Comptroller's, to pay them into the Stale treasury. So tar as the ol ‘and county moneys are concerned it was by law made my duty to see that No appropriation was exceeded Finance Department. It is true that the Mayor might, betore he countersigned the Oomptroller’s drafls, sce to that, but I was aware that the officer's countersigning was, ordinarily, a mere matter ot form, and that he chose to depend on the Comptrolier to see that the ap- propradons were not exceeded, and therefore it was hat I selt it my most imperative duty te keep the watch wach the law, in express terms, imposed upon my T attempted at first to avoid the impending conflict by ffAimitous offers of compromise, which involved personal abilities on my part that etherwise would have been un- the head of the essary, Dut would have attained the end T had in View.

ALLOPATHY VS. HOMCOPATHY, Aer Agitation for Fraternizing. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— At the semi-annual meeting of the Oneida, County Medical Society, held at Rome, N. Y., January 7% 1873, Dr. Ed. Hutchinson, of good standing, offered the following resolution :— Resolved, That our delegates to and permanent mem- bers of the State Medical Society be requested to urge that body to amend section 4, paragraph 1 of the Code of Medical Ethics so as to allow members of county socie- ties to meet in consultation ali practitioners who are recognized by the laws of this State whenever called upon by theni or their patients. It was seconded by Dr. O. B. Coventry, regular among the regulars, an old man whos@ greatness is attested by the high position he has filled aga medical instructor and practitioner. And upon motion of Dr. Jacob Hunt it was Resolved, That it ts the sense of this society that the Code of Ethics be so amended as to be more in harmony with the spirit of our republican institutions. Shades of Bibbins, great, immaculate compoun- der of the old ladies’ pill! The world does tnen really move inspite of Galileo’s retraction and in spite of your protests and those of the present Managers of the Medical Society of the city and county of New York; in spite, we repeat, of those stereotyped expounders of the cede of medical ethics, who with paie faces and upturned eyes cry out on the high ways and by ways, ‘The code of medical etiics must. not be violated, nor changed, nor improved, but must be made on the contrary more stringent, so as to bring to punishment re- fractory members who retuse to swear by a self- constituted galaxy led by the ‘connecting links,’ vide Darwin) or some other “What Is it?’? ke care, ye refractory members of the Oneida Medical Society, or punishment will surely over- take you for daring to express a wish even to progress in your profession, now tn harmony with the spirit of our republican institutions. If you are doing well in your inland towns and cities that is no reason why you shouid indirectly destroy our business here. Have we not already enongh te com- pete against hom«opathists, specialists? Pardon me if Lexcept oculists and aurists, who are mul- tiplying here fearfully. Still we do notcall them specialists for yeu Kuow, know- 8, you know how it is yourself. Once more, rest men ot Uneida county, lately assembled in Rome, We entreat you not to arouse the shades of the great Bibbins by your shouts for “progress.”” #SCULAPIUS, A WOMAN ATTACKED BY A BLOODHOUND, Awoman named Catharine Lyrere, residing in the rear of 150 Varet street, Williamsburg, was attacked by a ferocious bloodhound ‘on Thursday, while hanging up a day’s washing, and was ter- ribly mutilated. The flesh of the ‘right arm, from the shoujder to the elbow, was torn from the bone, was also a portion of the right thigh. Her back was likewise badly lacerated by the ferocious monster. The condition of the unfortunate woman last night was precarious, not so much from the lacerations as the shock to her nervous system. ‘The bloodhound belonged to Bernhardt Kramer, proprietor of a lager beer saloon at No. 838 Bushwich avenue. The citizens irs, Lrrete is the shooting of the brute, but as Mrs. Lyrere is unable to appear in Court to obtain an order to that effect, the police refuse to take the responsibility. ——__+—.___—_ MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
