8 LIZZIE KING.| Life in the Brooklyn Jail and the Increasing Sympathy for the Prisoner. Letters Pouring Into the Prison—Offerg of Assistance and Plenty of Sentimental Drivel—The Plaint of a Melan+ choly Muse—Light Reading for the Warm Weather. Epistle from “a Poor, Wronged Woman.” “Do Not Commit Suicide, Even if You Are Sentenced to Death!” THE RUSH TO SEE THE PRISONER, Life with Lizzie King in the Raymond Street Jail is gradually settling into a dull routine. The novelty of her position is wearing away, and she has prepared to pass the intorval between the pres- ent and the time of her trial, next Fall, as pleas antly and as profitably as may be possible under the circumstances, She has become quite inti- mate with the other prisoners in her corridor Mrs. Fanny Hyde, Mrs, Burgess and Mre, Simmons. It is said that “a fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind,’ and it is probably on this account that Liz- zie has become attached to Fanny Hyde, In fact, as Lizzie herself says, ‘sho fairly ves Fanny.’ This affectionate feeling is evidently reciprocated by the destroyer of George W. Watson, for Fanny is constantly with Lizzie, walking and talking with her, when the latter ts not engaged in reading or writing. Keeper Con- raddy allows them occasionally to walk in tne jail yard, in company with a deputy and sometimes himself, and tney express thomselves as deeply Sensible of his kindness to them, It is apparent that THE TREATMENT WHICH LIZ2ZIR WAS RECEIVED ig contrary to that which she expected. Ina con, versation yesterday she said :—“Yes, when Iarrived here I thought I would be placed ina celi; but instead orf that I have got comfortable quarters here and pleasant companions.” She passes the greater part of the day in reading and writing, and when not thus engaged she joms her sister prisoners. Mentally she 1s infinitely their supe- rior, and this fact in itself appears to have im- pressed them with a strong feeling of respect for her. Lizzie is very fond of poetry, and yesterday Keeper Conraddy ransacked the jail building in search of mental pabulum for her, The library of the jail is nota very cxtonsive one. Beyond sev- eral copies of old directories, Common Council re- ports, Patent Ofiico reports and other light Litera- ture of a character somewhat akin to these, the supply is very meagre. Mr. Conraddy, however, succeeded in resurrecting a copy of Shakspeare and a copy of the poems of Ossian, which he im- mediately delivered to the prisoner, who thank- fully received them. Lizzie first turned her atten- tention to Shakspeare and was soon deeply ab- Borbed in the perusal of “Othello.” She is never interrupted in her occupations by her companions, LETTERS OF SYMPATHY POURING IN. It is truly astonishing what a great sympathy has been created in the community for Lizzie King. She ts daily in receipt of numerous letters (some anonymous and others containing, presumably, genuine signatures) expressing the sympathy of the writers and olfering all the aid In their power. Some of these letters are perfectiy ludicrous in the way of essays or sympathetic composition. Others are sickening specimens of sentimental drivel. The most of the letters odme by matl, while in many eee mossengors present them at the portals of @ Jal Aniong the missives received esterday was an effusion in verse, signed “A. F, W.,” and directed as follows:—‘For the comiort and consolation of Miss Lizzie King in her lonely hours of meditation.” ‘Then the writer gives vent to his or her feelings in the following style.

Extensive Sale at Pelham Park, Wost- chester County=—Immense Prices Reale ized=Effect on Property of Annexation and Rapid Transit, Great expectations were based upon the several large suburban sales which were announced by us in the beginning of this week, including those at Far Rockaway and Plainfield, N.J., of which we gave particulars yesterday. None of these sales was a s¥ecess for obvious reasons, and which need no details at present. It is, however, refreshing to find that the sale occurring on Wednesday at Pel- ham Park was more than @ suceess and the prices realized very largely in advance of the highest figures anticipated by the owners. Messrs. Page & Crawford bad immediate charge of the auction, and Mr. J. R. Foley was the auc- tioneer, Two hundred and sixty-one lots were sold, aggregating $50,614, or On an average $194 per lot. These are excellent figures to show for property in Westchester county, and fully dem. onstrate that rapid transit and annexation exer- cise the most beneficial effect on pyoperty north of tne Harlem River. Peiham Park is not tucluded in the new wards of the city, but this is merely a matter of short time, and is sure to follow; yet the opening of the Harlem River and Portchester Railroad—an event celebrated on the day of this great sale—will surely open up this fine country lying east of the Bronx River, and in a short period become as valuable as the most favored art of Westchester county. No less than fifteen Bunarea persons attended this sale.

Buying Goods Under Faltse Pretences, On the 20th of June Matthew Metzler, of 186 Sixth avenue, called on Henry Gossweyier, at his place of business, 176 Fulton street, and repre- sented himself the owner of the saloon 190 Fulton | street, and on such representation Gossweyler sold him $390 worth of wine, Mr. Gossweyler went to 190 Fulton street, saw the namo M. Metzler over the door and saw Metzier himself behind the bar. The goods were delivered and the bill Tor them presented in due time, This Metzler refused to pay, and suit was commenced against him in the Marine Court. On being brought up on supplementary proceedings he stated that the saloon in Fulton street be- longed to his wife, Mary Metzier. About six days ago a warrant was procured at the Tombs Police Court for the arrest of Metzler, on a charge of obtaining goods under false pretences. It was placed in the hands of Sergeant Quinn, who, after a long search, found Metzier in a lager beer saloon on Sixth avenue.

She sank once and rose to the surface and then sank again, women around her seemed to possess too little sense or too little presence of mind to attempt to aid her; and the moment was one of thrilling saspense. One of the spectators who were gathered on the beach was Dr. O'Leary, tie well kuown professor of Mauhattan College, 2nd, seeing no efiort made to save her, he threw of hia coat and sprang into the surf, battling it manfully until he reached and lifted esbove the water her drowning form, A moment later life would have been extinct; but, very luckily, that monent had pot elapsed, and, being laid upon the beach and treated with various restoratives, she survived, while ler rescuer was loudly thanked and applauded by those Who had witnessed bia bravery. 212 West | 89,900 | ell to-day, at the Auction | 5 The | 5 | herty ts about eighteen | Eighteenth precinct station house Mar roofer, of 70 Ma on the 2ist of June len lane.

CRIME IN BROOKLYN, The Proceeds of Robberies by Fomalecse Probable Murder—Assauilt With Brass Knuckles. Pauline Sholken, the female thief, who was ar- rested on Wednesday, was visited by a number of persons yesterday at the jail, who recognized her as the woman who robbed them. Among the visi- tors was Charles D, Koppell, of 146 East Fifty-stxth street, New York, who, fromthe published descrip. tion of Pauline, was lcd to belleve that she was the perpetrator of a most daring outrage on bis wife at their late residence, 166 Kast Sixty-sixth street, New York, in the first week of tke present year. Mr. Koppell has no doubt that Pauline is the identical woman, but will not be quite positive until his wife, who has a more vivid recollection of her appearance, has seen her, Mr. Koppell states that on the mormng on which the outrage was committed he went to bis busi- ness at an early hour, leaving his wife and Pau- line, who had been engaged asa servant on the preceding day, in the house together. He had not been long gone when Fauline admiaisterd some drug to his wife ina cup of tea, and when the lat- ter was in a seml-unconscious condition from the effects bound her with ropes to a chair and gagged her so that she could make no ontcry. Mrs. Kup- pell being thus unable to render auy opposition, Pauline opened the bureau drawer and de- camped with jewelry, watches and other articles to tue value of $800. Mrs, Kop- pell was severely injured in the struggle, and for some weeks It was feared she would net recover. She will call at the jail to-day in order to identify her, Yesterday atternoon Detective Powers, of the Central Office, brought a cart lead of goods trom different pawa offices in New York which Pauline had pawned. There were rings, watches, silk dresses, “coats, cloaks, velvets, &c. One small watch had the initials “P, J.’’ on it, and attached was a handsome gold chain and charms, Miss ral Hake pnt was employed a short time ago in the Hote! Brunswick, located at the coracr of Fifth avenue and Twenty-sixth street, New York, tn the capacity of chambermaid, She wasa ee favorite in the house and impiicitly trusted y Mr. Mitcheii and his wife. At length Mary be- came fascinated with the sparkling brillancy of Mrs. Mitchell's diamonds and forgot her native honesty. And so, on the morning of the 23d of March, & chambermaid and $3.C00 worth of jewelry and diamonds were missing from the hotel. Frou that time until Wednesday night Mary hus suc- ceeded in baffling the efforts of the New York and Brooklyn detectives to effect her capture, Detective Campbell, of the Second precinct, ar- Tested her as she was leaving one o/ the Catharine street ferryboais on the Brooklyn side, PROBABLE MURPER. John Dougherty, @ notorious rowdy in Brooklyn, was arrested yesterday on a charge of having com- mitted a felonious assault on Leonard Blue, who re- sides at 144 Conover street, The assault, according to what his Fede cd WI prove iatal. Lt ap pears that Blue was passi through the hallway of the house on Saturday night, when Dougherty, without @ word of warning, made a desperate assault on him, knocking several of his teeth out with brass knuckles, Blue was unable to defend himself, and when the ruMan le{t him was lying in the haliway in an insensibie condition. The pris- oner was heid to await the result. John Bennett, of 96 Boerum street, was assaulted by William Keegan, who, as alleged, used brass khuckies, Bennett was severcly injured. Keegan made his escape. MEETING OF THE WORKING BOYS, The members of the Working Boys’ Protective As- sociation met last night at Cooper Institute, President John J. Joyce inthe chair, The room which the lads have engaged to meet in was well filled, and the young legislators for the common good of the working boys of the present day, and of those to come, were most enthusiastic. The minutes of the last meeting being read and approved, the President addressed the meeting on the subject of “Unity and Perseverance.” The young orator mede quite a lengthy and able speech, going back almost to the beginning of the world to show what “unity and perseverance” could accomplish, Mr, Greeley was cited as an ex- ample, and at the mention of his name the applauso The speaker said they had met | not only to contend for baths and bail grouads, but to found a society that would last, and he hoped ail present would join the society. Outside of the benefits of the debating.society to be organized, each member, in case of sckness, would be entitled to draw $5 per week, and in case of death $25 would be allowed for funeral expenses, The Secretary then stated that a protest had been sent in by the ladies -residing around Thompson square, to the eifect that if working boys played bail there some ol their children would be hurt; but he thought a compromise could be effected with these ladies by letting their children have three days in_ the week and the Working boys the otber three. He thought | the latter were entitled to some consideration tn the premises, Vice President CHARLES BERLINER then addressed the meeting at some length and thought if all present would become members the assocta- | tion would be so large that refusal | would be impossibie. It was then moved and seconded that a committce of six be apppointed to wait onthe Park Commissioners, 'The following lads were appointer ‘L. White, P. J. Gatmhey, Edgar Jeffrey, Winds, HH. Dunder- stadt and J. P. Katzerstein. Master Levy then made a few remarks on the tmportance of having a large membership, and he thought if the ladies held out with their protest, the working boys could getas many ladies to sign in their favor—their Mothers, sisters and cousins—and he supposed they | had as ong | of the latter as President Grant. The Treasurer then requested all the delinquents to for without money they could accomplish nothing. After a few mere remarks by some of the members present the meeting adjourned vo meet again at the same place on the 2éth instant. FATAL HATCHWAY CASUALTY, Severely Censured by a Coroner's Jury= CivU suit for Damages. Coroner Young yesterday afternoon held an in- quest in the case of Miss Mary Jane McCail, the young woman, twenty-four years of age, who dicd at her residence, 336 Stanton street, on the sth inst., from the effects of a fracture of the spine and other injuries received on the 17th day of Feb- Tuary, 1872, by falling through the hatchway trom the first floor of premises No. 20 North William street, occupied by Messrs.

The idea that the Comptroller would refuse to pay the Aldermen during their vacation was scouted by both Mossrs. Storrs and Bari, who sre supposed to knOW a8 much about the business as the Comptroller himself, Both said that the Alder- men receive an annual salary, not contingent at all on the frequency of their meetings, The hitch re- garding the Supervisors lies in the fact that the charter, while providing for the retention of the Board, fails to name any compensation for mom- bers, and furthermore declares that no etty oficial shall draw pay for two offices. It 1s on this ground that Comptroller Green refuses to pay, walle Mon- heimer sues on the special ground that tne old pro- vision for the pay of Supervisors is unrepeated and the general ground that the taborer is worthy of his hire. Some of the Aldermek abcut the Hall were excited over the prospect, but exlined down when the true situation of affairs was known.

The papers were referred to the counsel of the Departinent, Who has them under consideration. If the claim of Mr. Lawrence is admitted nothi but a longand dangerous delay in litigation wil) secure the removal of some of the most noxtous nuisances of the city. The counsel, ata summary glance over Mr, Lawrence’s papers, thought they were Without weight, but admitted that'a closer scrutiny might change his views.

He bad gained wealth and position in New York, the city of his adoption, but never ceased to ho!d dear the bright tstand which gave him birth, and since the day of the opening of the revolution against Spanish misrule the cause of Cuban independence has had no stancher friend or more earnest laborer than Sefior Mayorga, who has occupied the highest official places in the organiza- tion of Cuban patriots here, and has given very largely both in time and money for the success of the revolution. At the hour named the body of the: church was nearly filled by resident Cubans of both sexes, all betraying in their sad Jooks and tearfu! eyes the loss to their community and to the cause of free- dom which they felt in biading adieu to @ beloved brother patriot and one of the founders and chief supporters of the church in which they were as- sembled to mourn his death, As the funeral pro- cession entered the chureh Rev. Mr. Palma, the rector, preceded the coffin, reading the solemn burial service of the Episcopal Churen in Spanish. The pail-bearers were General Villegos, Hilario Cls- neros, Valdez Mendoza, J. J. Goventes, Pablo’ Battie and Captain George W. Brown. Several members of Mr. Mayorga’s family followed aud were seated next the chancel, After the cofiln was deposited at the head of the centre aisle the an- them “I know that my Redeemer liveth” was sung in English by Miss Mendez, soprano; ‘Vital spark of heavenly flame by a quartet of the choir and are ever bright and fair’ by Miss Henne, con- 0. Rev. Mr. Palma then preached an eloquent funeral discourse from the text, “1 am the resur- rection and the life,” eculogizing the departed brother as a Christian and a patriot, and urgin; his companions to zeal and hope for the sacre cause of Cuban liberty and to an imitation of the life of the good man whose death was deplored by all who had been privileged to know him, As the reverend orator warmed with his theme it was easy to see that the hearts of his audience beat with his own in glowing love for the ‘Gem of tho Antilles” and tn sorrow at taking leave of one who had been among the first in the struggle for her independence, were noticed Sefiors J. M. In the audience Mestre; Antonio Echeverria, Colonel E. Agramonte, Colonel J, Del Sol, Jose M. Masias, Antonio Zam- brana, Hon, Algernon 8, Sullivan, Duncan Mac- arthur and other well known Cubaus and New Yorkers, There was present also the following committee as a delegation from the Cuban Anti-Slavery So- clety:—Rev.

The conclud- ing dead march on the organ was played by Mr. Navarro, A handsome rosewood casket enclosed the corpse of the lamented patriot, which bore a silver plate with this simple inscription :— COLE RECOOELE LE RELE LOSER RELI DEDE LE ORE DODOOE HE JOSE MARIA MAYORGA, Born January 3, 1517, vied July 13, 1873. 3 ORE LOLE LE CE TT EbOE LENE TEE EE NEO DE DEOL HOT He Beautiful floral offerings lay upon: the casket.

The Fashionable Camp Meeting of the Shelter Island Grove Association, Religion and Reercation Under Refining and Regenerating Influences, The Worshtp of Nature and the Worship of God in Happy Combination. The New Departure in Camp Meeting Tactics. ~ Sexiter Isuanp, July 17, 1873, Religion and recreation have found an appropri* ate Summer home at Shelter Island. Tae Shelter Islaud Grove Association last year initiated a camp meeting in the grove opposite Greenport, L. and yesterday the first retigious services for the present season in connection therewith was held: Itis ecarcely needful to say that the association is Methodistic, for & camp meeting without Metho- dism would be a misnomer, Methodism, however, does not obtrnude ttself too much in this Summer ree treat; rhis section of the earth is so beautiful, there ‘8 such @ wondrous panorama of beauty spread bes fore the senses, that, delightful as the visions of heaven may be and palpably portrayed as they ofttimes are by those spiritually minded persons who claim to have been in that ecstatic condition that did not know whether they were in the body or out of tne body, Shelter Island recalis them to the joy of earth, and the beauty of the dwelling place that God bas given in his wondrons wisd good. ness to fellow man, The island lies in alolton out of the Way, guiet nook that its geog 1 posi. tion may be usefully defined, It ts situated between, the north and south forks of Long. Island, and lieg in Shelter Island Sound. {t is about seven miles long and from three to four wide, and is situated in Suffolk county. From New York it isa journey of ninety miles to reach it, by the Long Isiend Raile Toad to Greenport, and thence a few minutes’ ride by steam ferry across the Sound to the island, Of this island the Camp Meoting Association own 300 acres of a locality long known as ‘Prospect,’ in consequence of the hilly aspect of the grounds, which afford in every direction an extensive view of LAND AND SEA, ‘These 300 acres are divided into eligible and inex pensive lots, and are purchasabdle by any person who is willing to conform to the not very stringent requirements that camp meeting associations gené eraliy demand. This privilege, considering how recently the ground has been purchased, bas been largely taken advantage of. ‘The prettiest cottages skirt the beach near the rowboat dock, and promi- nent among these are Mr, Schroeder’s, Comptrollet of the city of Brooklyn; Postmaster Boothy of Brooklyn; one now occupied by Mey Holme, of Gold street and Myrtle avenue, Brocklyn, and the Rey. J. E. Searles, Washington street Methodist Episcopal church Brooklyn, The folowing brooklynites also have cottages:—John Freneh and family, W. M. Littla and jamily, E. H. Ganden and family,-Foster Pettit and wife, SF. Pettitand family, Philip Week ang family, Colonel W. ©, Booth and family, Miss Taylor, T. F. Taylor, Rev. J. E. Searies, J, E. Webb and family, William H. Mundati and family. These cow tages are ornate stractures, and not the simple, unadorned shanties peculiar to the Methodism of of our forefathers, They are two-storied buildings, frame, but with baicony, painted roof and capac cious stoops. Ornamental as they are without, they are equaily ornamental within, and the ap< pllances that assist laziness to be more lazy, avd contribute to the promptest develepment of nas ture’s sweet restorer, baimy sleep, are far more numerous than the implements of spiritual devor tion. THE COTTAGE PROPERTY, therefore, impresses you with its resemblance ta Martha’s. Vineyard, and the idea seems to bq to form here a nucleus that shall, in the coursq of a few years, be to Long Island and its neighbor. ing cities a Summer retreat for Methodism that will do for that neighborhood what Martha’s Vinex yard has done for Boston and Newport. The hotel is also an attractive feature. It 1s part of the camp meeting property, and is, to a certain extent, under its inftuence, Visitors, however, are per jectly tree from any religious restraint in counec- tion thezewitih, and all the comforts of well regu- lated hotets are obtainable witbin its wails at the usual prices, It has accommodation for about four hundred guests, and, under the direction of the propriotor, it is ¢asy to indulgo in boating, fishing and bathing.

Turning from the provision for creature comforts to the beauty which the Creator has spread so lib- eraily and bounteously before the eye of man, a Methodist wenld, of course, be lost in wonder, love and praise. To the ght and to the left of the hotel is the camp ground, with its almost innumer- able leaty groves and wooly deils; now and them there comes bursting through a break In the foli- age @ glimpse of the distant ocean, or the siiver sheen of the water, as it flows calmly and sleepily in the Sound, making the slightest possibie rip- Z as it breaks upon the sandy beach, The air vocal with the chirping of the bird, or the eye is startled a the duwnward flight of the hawk from its dizzy altitude in the clouds, All of this 18 calculated to make one “ieel good" in quite an other sense to the goodness spoken of at experience meetings “in camp.’ ‘Tower Hill" is one of the lions of the place; it is a giddy emt hence overlooking the island and the surrounding hilis, on which 1s placed “a lookoat,”’ To reach the top floor of this lookout is not dificult, ana the view obtained amply repays the necessary scram. ble to reach it.

Noticeable from this eievated position is the first church ever buiit on the island, a Presbyterian church; the new Epis: copal chuech, recently dedicated by Bishop Littie- john, and the large hotel, now building by a Boston association, intended for the accommodation of 800 guests, and which sssociation intends to do all that it Dossibly can to popalarize the island as & desirable place for the Summer resort of Dowy asters, THR RELIGIOUS ELEMENT.
