NEW YOKK HERALD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1874.—WITH SUPPLEMENT. “BROOKLYN VACHT CLUB. The Race from Newport to Vineyard Haven. Stiff Breeze, Angry Seas and a Remarkable Kun. The Comet the Winner of the Schoener Prize and the Qui Vive That for Sloops, MARTHA'S VINEYARD, July 29, 1874, Fortunate, indeed, has the Brooklyn Yacht Club been on its annual cruise, and, now that it is drawing to a close, the yachtsmen can truthfully exclaim that, “Never since its organization have We enjoyed ourscives so thoroughly as during the past week.’ Excepting the calm weather of the Hirst day this crack association nas been tavored with pleasant breezes, while, now and then, the dehcious sport of fying like lightning-steeded coursers before a spanking breeze nas fallen to Mts lot. The ball was grandly opened by them on we run to New Haven, repeated in the sail to Greenport, then to New London, again trom there to Newport, and now here, or rather across this marrow part of the island, to Vineyard Haven, the Tace having resulted in one of the dnest contests ever withessed, the wind being all that the greatest grumbler could have desired, at times blowing “great guns” and ever breezing stiffly. As! advised yesterday the race from Newport w Vineyard Haven was agreed upon last evening | im the cabin of the flagship, and at once the sev- erai captains repaired to their yachts ana gave the necessary orders to carry into execution the arrangements for the aquatic battie. But few of the yachtsmen or their guests went ashore at Newport, and hence a good night’s rest enabled ‘them to rise early, swallow contentedly the morn- img mea) and see that everything was snug and safe for the run out to sea, The morning Was fair, though the clonds scnd- Ging up aloft warned the mariner that there would be wind enough, and probably some to spare, be- fore the journey wasenued. The Madeleine in good season dropped down to Goat Island, and, taking & position opposite the oficers’ quarters wnere, prepared to time the yachts as they went | away on their mission to the West Chop buoy otf Vineyard Haven, distance fifty-five miles, Ten vessels started, as under :— SOROONEEE uy gti Breadth, Name.

THE RACE, At eight o’clock signal was made from the flag- ship that, whenever disposed, the commanders of the yachts might begin the race, but several min- utes elapsed before an inclination was manifested to take advantage of the order, when at last the | captain of the Gypsie, observing that each was | holding back for the other, set a good example by crossing the imaginary line, followed by the fleec Others as lollows:— THE START. |.

It will be remembered that under the agreement balloons were not allowed and the restrictions imposed only allowed working top- Bails, stay-auls ana jibtopsails, It was the last of the flood in tne harbor and the wina piped merrily from the southward. The contest now commenced in earnest, and the beat out of the harbor enabled the captains to dis- lay some pretty Seamansnip and the extent of heir Knowledge Oi the waters thereabouts. The White Wing, after spinning around under Fort Adams and _— standip over to the other shore, first tacked toward Bateman’s Point at 8b, 30m., and the fleet followed in quick succes- sion, the Helena being second, Sadie third, with the Qui Vive last, Mr. Clappam having been a litte tardy in crossing the line. The yachts now tacked as the judgment of their sailing masters dictated, but all with one intent—to reach out by the lght- ship on Brenton’s reef, The Alice and Qui Vive at this time were closely hugging the shore under the light at the entrance of the harbor, but this ma- | Be@uvre Was injudicious, as they lost several min- utes thereby. The White Wing and Gypsie were standing Out on the port tack at this time, and ‘were among the first to pass to the southward of the lightship, with the Sadie next, and so on, the brash down the harbor putting them tn the an- mexed positions at this first objective pomnt:— PASSING BRENTON’S RERF BUOY.

The White Wing, standing to her work like a thing of noble impulse, was the leader of the Facers, with the Gypsie to windward, and the con- test between this sloop and schooner began mag- Bificently, and did not terminate until near the end. At zim. the Comet, thinking that the Sadie was walking away from her, sent up uer jibtopsail, and at the same time it was noticed that the Cio had her’sin position, The Sadie also sent up this sail at 9b, 28m., Dut off Seenet Rocks it was taken in, as it did more harm than good in pushing her nose into the angry sea and stopping her headway. Now everything was racking lively over the sea, the larger boats mak- ing good weather, but the lesser craft had a ward time, burying their noses deep down at every plunge. Much interest was centred on the headmost yachts jor a time, and the Comet came in for her share of admiration, having walked by two or three of the sloops soon er leaving the lightship, when she turned her attention to the gallant Sadie, and, without a great straggie, danced merrily by her at 9b. 42m., and ‘then tore madly on for the White Wing and Gypsie. Just before this the sturdy Sallie, which had a good sition up to the windward and just astern of the Baare, met with @ mishap and jost all chances of victory. It was the carrying away of her topmast, the strain of the jibtopsall in the heavy sca being two much for the spar, and it SNAPPED WITH A CRASH. when she {fell back among the rear guard. The adeleine all this time was doing well, and with er cruising safis only now walked up among those in the van, and, making notning o! the sharp rolung waves, took a position to leeward of the Fieur de Lis, which yacht was distinguishing her- gel! and doing nobly. At 10h. o2m. the town of hehe bl ini bore nortneast by north jrom the Sadie, and the positions then were:—White Wing, Gyp- sie, Comet, Sadie, Fleur de Lis, Madeleine, Clio, Alice, Sallie, Helena and Qui Vive. The sight was fine, and each yacht had & grand opportunity to display its vaunted prowess. The tussle still excitedly continued between the White Wing and Gypsie, with the chances in favor of the latter, as she did pot seem to mind the sea, and scorning every rough blow danced forward taking the next one as if she liked it. At lob. le the Fleur de Lis sent down her staysail, and, re- lheved of it, did better. Ali this time the Madeleine was picking up ner leeway, and, passing the Fieur, le assumed.a commanding position astern of the Comet, and everybody who was watching ner intently felt as if she would bebe up with her and Decome the leading schooner if they had a littie further to go, ‘The cracking breeze had sent the Clio along very prettily all this while, and at 10h, 38m. she had passed to the windward of the Sadie, looking the “thing of life,’ and partly submerged, ‘The higntehip ON THR SOW AND PIGS was now sighted, and it was observed that the leaders were keeping away for that of shore mark. Anxious hearts were on the Sadie’s deck, ‘QB At this time it seemed that she might draw on the latter sufMicientiy to enable her to win the prize offered for the sioops; but the plunging sea ‘was too much, and she could not make tbe head- ‘Way in it necessary to become the winning cratt. The race continued gradually, and each yacht held bravely to all the punishment that Neptune saw fit to chastise tt with, and in a short time, as the leaders reached into Vineyard sound and slong Cuttyhunk, Nashawena, Pasque and Nashon glands and the Middle Ground, the struggie con- tinued, the position of one or two of the schooners being changed, until the Comet, sailing like @ witch, whirled by the winning mark in advance of them all, the Madeleine 2m. ibs, behind her; out as she was not im the race this is of but little mo- ment, Next was tne Fleur de Lis, then the Clio, Gypsie and Alice of the schooners, while the White Wing ied the lesser yachts, the Sadie next and the others not benind. ‘The arrival of the yachts ‘was how officially timed, and the day's spoTt was pver—a glorious one in all respects—and the time seldom if ever beaten, as the Madeleine, thougd Bot in the race, made the run of forty-fve miles without ber ligbs pails and Dapaipg to he leeward \ | \ | !

A Child of Thirteen with a Mania for Baby Burning. A STREET WALKER AT ELEVEN. The Mother’s Testimony—An Interview with the Youthful Prisoner. The disciples of the respective theories of total depravity or morbid impulse as explaining dark but purposeless crime may eitner of chem claim evidence in support of their pet theory in the cir- cumstances leading to the arrest o! a young girl at No, 418 East Seventeenth street yesterday morn- ing. ‘he officer who executed the summons was from the Thirty-fourth precinct, and the charge Was defined to be attempted murder and incen- diarism, Henrietta Weibel had been a domestic at Leopold Appell’s Hotei, West Farms, for a lew days. She had not been cheerfily industrious, but until Wednesday last she had manifested uo fiendish prociivities. On that day, however, she steaithily proceeded toa room on the second door, where ‘the baby of Mrs. Frank—a boarder—was asieep in its cot, and shortly afterwards an alarm of fre Was raised, anda hurried rush up stairs by the alarmed mother revealed the fact that the infant Was enveloped in flames. Happily tt was rescued uninjured, but half suffocated with smoke, from Which, atter medical assistance, it was slow to re- cover. A few hours afterward smoke was discovered issuing trom the dining room closet, where the table linen was kept, And stiil again on the same day some wearing apparel in a hall closet was dis- covered ablaze, It did not at once occur to the proprietor tha! the girl was the incendiary; but on his suspicions being aroused he sharply ques- tioned her, and she at once and unbesitatingly confessed the crime. She saia she couidn’t help doing it; that whenever she sawa baby asleep she wanted to burn it. It having been ascertained that she had six months siuce attempted to burn @ baby belonging to Mr. Kinney, of Tarrytown, Mr. Appeli had the girl arrested. Yesterday evening a reporter proceeded to No, 418 East seventeenth street, with a view of inves- tigating, 11 possible, the moral influences of the gul’s ome, After some diMeulty the wrewhed dwelling was discovered on the second floor of a Tear and rank-smelling tenement house. The suiirs that led up to it were foul; the room was comfortiess, and seated on a rickety ehair was Mrs. Weibel herself—an Chigecialay 3 Woman as to shoulders and waist. with large dark eyes and @ sensuous lower jaw. Tue reporter stated his errand, whereupon the lady, who was stitching an article of fine cambric, became partially dissolved in tears, and spasmodically rehearsed her daugh- ter’s antecedents, as follows :— “She was always a bad girl, was Henrietta—a very bad girl, Ihave five children. J was left a widow two years since. Henrietta is thirteen years and seven months old, and now fifteen, as the police report states. I was about to become a mother when my husband died. I could not look atter Henrietta properly, aud she began to go out at night among loose girls and stay till eleven and twelve o'clock, When I was sewing for a baker pear she was so cunning as to get all my earnings before the work was done, and when 1 took it 1 had no money to get. On!” cried Mra. Weibel, ‘she is a terribie bad girl, and if she has been guilty of trying to burn a baby | hope they will punish her all they can.” The mother turthermore stated that she had placed Henrietta in a juvenile reformatory twelve months since, but that she ran away and subse- quently “hired herself out” in Westchester county, THE ACCUSED IN HER CELI. The little girl, against whom rests such @ terri. ble accusation, is at present confined im the lock- up of the ‘hirty-fourth Police precinct, at Tremont. A HERALD representative called there yesterday aiternoon, and on intimat- mg a desire to see the juvenile risoner Was at once conducted down stairs by the Ser- geant In charge. ‘fhe would-be babv cremationist Was jound ina large, well lighted cell, aud as she lay colled up, as it were, on the board used for a bunk, with a folded blanket answering the pur- pose of a pillow, her childish face and almost infan- tile form were sufficient to challenge the credulity of the visitor as to the identity of the youthiul prisoner. Her facial expression is by no means unprepossessing, and as her LARGE, LUSTROUS HAZBL EYES looked responsive to akind inquiry of the Ser- geant, her young face seemed to light up with a confiding smile, which it would be diMcult for one morally depraved to counterieit. The girl, who ‘was Very neat and tidy im appearance, does not seem to be more than twelve years old, although, according to her own statement, she is between fourteen and filteen. “Henrietta,” queried the writer, ‘is it true that you tried to burn a baby at West Farms?” “Yes, sir,’ was the prompt and spparently in- genious reply. “What could have prompted you to attempt such @ Wicked deed?’ “I don’t Know, sir; something told me-to do it.’? “would you not have veen sorry had you suc- ded in killing the child +? sir, 1 don’t know that I wonid.’* hep you don’t seem to uke babies 7? “No, sir.” ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT BABY BURNING. “Was that the first time you ever tried to burn a child ¥" “No, sir. When I was living with Mrs. Kinney, at Tarrytown, J had a mind to set fire to the bavy, bat 1 didn’t do it.” “How long did you live with Mrs, Kinney #? “I was there a month and two weeks.” “Did Mrs. Kinney discharge you then °” “No, sir; it was the first piace 1 ever was in, and the work was too hard lur me; it Was champer- work I had to do.” ‘Are your parents living, Henrietta ?” “My father is dead, sir, bot my motner is living in Seventeenth street, New York; my father was a tailor, and mother is a dressmaker.” the bed “What did you use in setting fire to where the baby was lying at West Farms ?' “Nothing but matches, sir.” “Do you know that you are charged witha ter- rible crime, and have you thought of what is going to become of you?” At this question Henrietta first appeared not to comprehend its meaning, but after a few seconds she seemed to take in its full import, and quickly raising hersolf irom the recumbent position which she had maintained until now, BURST INTO A ¥i.0OD OF TEARS, sobbing out, “I feel so sorry, 1am such a wicked | girl, Vil never doitagain. Oh! ay poor mother eried so When [left her last. She has always had a good name, and now it breaks my heart to think that have brought her into disgrace. ['li never doit again. I did not think of heaven or of death, or else [ wonldn’t have done it. “You havn't always been a bad girl, have you?” “No, sir; [always went to day school and to Sunday school.” “What Sabbath schoel did you attend?” “On the corner of ‘twenty-second street and Fourth avenue, at Dr, Crosoy’s church.” After offering a few words of consolation to the childish Reart which was convulsively apostro- phizing a mother’s sympathy and love, the writer | took his departure, saddened by the excessive | sobs of the youthful prisoner. A VISIT TO WEST FARMS, A HERALD ny re called hote: kept by opold —_Appell, ancient village of West Farms yesterday afternoon for the purpose of ascertaining further paruculars in connection with the charge against Henrietta Weibel. As he alighted from a carriage in iront of the hotel inaicated the writer Was met by @ person of marked Israelitish features and unmistakable Hebrew accent, who speedily answered affirmatively to the salutation, “Mr. Appell?” javing announced the object of his visit the writer was somewhat surprised to hear the hotel at the in the | proprietor say, in broken Engish, that he had no news whatever fqr the “reporters of tue press.” “Was not the girl, Henrietta Weibel, arrested at your instigation ?? “She was,” “Then you know sometinng of the charge against her, and of her actions while stopping here»?

In answer to the writer’s request for information inion the conduct of Henrietta Wetvel while in her employ, and where she had obtained the girl, Mra. Stein replied substantially as follows :—"I was very sick some time ago and had no one to nurse my baby, so Lasked Mr. Appell to get mea nurse in New York. He went to AN INTRLLIGENCE OFFICE in Second street, and, having found this girl there, goes her home; {know nothing avout her at “Yon took her, then, without knowing anything ofher character or disposition.” “Yes, 1 had to take her without reference, but I will never do it again.” “Did you ever notice anything peculiar or eccen- tric about her?” “Nob. capotys bust never liked Rex wass: aha! among ig tax yay crs wae only with me nine days, and when she was pee the baby something told me always to look r her,’? “When did you first mistrust her?” “On last Wednesday morning, when she set the bed on fire; she came and told me that the bed where the baby was lying was burning up. and that I had better come and look after it.” heat it your baby that was in the burning jo, 1t Was my consin’s child.’? “Did you then conclude that she was not a safe person to have the nursing of your baby?” “Not until the afternoon of that day, when the second fire took piace, did 1 take my baby away from her.” “Do f understand fag to say that you never saw any ap | wrong on fhe part of the girl, excepting those atleged attempts at arson?” “Nothing whatever. I never before found fault with her, but 1 always thought she was too young and too small to nurse a baby,'? Here the interview terminated, and the writer, having wished Mrs. Stein a “good evening,” re- entered his carriage and was rapidly driven from West Farms, NEW YORK CITY. At @ meeting of the Board of Police held yester- day afternoon the office of Medical Director of the department was abolished.

I have been chosen by my fellow. citizens tw offer the learned and distinguished men and women who gathered here ave to commemorate a grand discovery and to honor a great name, a brief but earnest welcome. We cannot follow you through the wide realms of science, nor explore Very deeply the mysteries of nature, tor we know more about oxen than oxygen, and a great deal more about the whey of milk than the inilky way. But we can move with equal step in paying tribute and reverence to the illustrious man who, eighty years ago, ound among the rude forefathers of this hamlet’ a quiet home, and seventy years ago an honored grave. While in the lapse of everlasting time all human names must forgotten, many ages will have come and gone, and left their silent footmarks on the earth before the name of Prie: stley will pass trom the fe has writ- ten it in lesters of light aud glory upon the highest, broadest pillars of the univene. BY right of genius and labor he takes rank with the dead, but sceptered eigns who still rule our spirits from their urns. the eagle he built his eyrie upon the mountain top, inac- cessible to vulgar intrusions. In that pure atmosphere he dwelt not above human spite, jealousy and detrac- tion, for it is easier to get below than above them, but above their annoyances THE SHAFTS OF BIGOT AND FOOLS were aimed at him; but they could not penetrate the triple armor which philosophy, enthusiasm and truth had thrown around him. Lik gentlemen, he made science his mistreas, and witha pure heart and an untiring mind he worshipped her through long days of labor and nights devoid of ease, and to-day ne stands with Galileo, Newton, Harvey, Franklin, Faraday and Humboldt, grand, colossal ahd enduring, one ot ine great high priests in the boundless and beautiful temple of nature. A brutal English mob could burn his dwelling and in an hour of po Hiical madness aud religions frenzy. destroy the work of yeurs; but it could not stay the indom- Mable energy of his genius nor dim the lustre of his well earned renown. White the miserable wretches who composed that mob have long ago given back to the great element which he discovered seventy-five per cent of their worthless carcasses, more than eighty years afterwards his creat name Is a talisman to draw’ to this quiet village many of the most renowned knowledge ‘atherers of the nation—an aristocracy of learning and fintelicct-ethat can afford to look down from tts, high citadels of thought and achievement with pity, if not with contempt, upon the more vulgar aristocracy of blind accident. In conclusion, I would merely reiterate to you, men and women of science, in behalf of all my neighbors, a very sincere and unfeigned welcome to our homes and to our hearts, and let me assure you most earnestly that we are not only willing but snxious to make you remember With pleasure your well-timed pilgrimage to the home and gFave ot the greatest discoverer of his time. ‘The address was briefly responded to by the President of the meeting. On motion a coramittee was appointed to confer with the centenmial meeting in Birmingham, England; also to take feo in spirit in the unveiling of the statue of the jate Joseph Priestley in that city. Numerous iet- ters of regret were received and read to the meel- ing. Then followed a SKETCH OF THR LIFE AND LABORS of Dr. Joseph Priestley by Professor Henry H. Croit, of Toronto, Canada, Prolessor Horsfora, of Cambridge, Mass., then gave some interesting sketches of the lifeand read several original let- ters of the late Dr. Priestley.

MURDER IN TENNESSEZ. A Memphis Weather Prophet Found Dead in His Bed—Evidences of Opiuny Potson—An Unfortunate Woman Ac< cused of the Crime. MeMPHTS, July 27, 1874, Considerable excitement was produced in thi city early this morning by the reported murder s William Dardis, an old man, who has resided her for the past quarter of a century. Repairing 4 his rooms, on Jefferson street, between Secon and Third, and making my way through the crow that had assembled, a ghastly and sickening scend was presented, There lay the deceased on thd floor, surrounded by pools of blood, and in am almost perfectly nude condition, and near by on at bed was @ woman ina deep sleep, evidently prod duced by some powerful narcotic. This girl wag Sue Morgan, a well known and unfortunate woman of bad character. The tableau was red pulsive in the extreme, and was well worthy tha pencil of Hogarth or Gustave Doré. The warnt sun glared through the dirty windows into poorly furnished aparument, where everythin; Was in confusion and the height of disorder; dus@ was everywhere, and a sickening efiuvi: pervaded the atmosphere, and there wa: an old gray headed man curled up Mm death, and ®& woman, balf uncovered, wa: breathing stertoriously on a badly mussed a near by. Doctors Taylor and Rogers, who had beery called in, went to work on the woman, using the stomact pump with the happiest effect, bringing, up morphine and whiskey in great quantities, ang thereby saving, for a time, her miserable life, CORONER'S INQUEST, John Speliman, in the absence of the regular Coroner, held an inquest, and Dr. Marable mad & post-mortem examination, With the enue of several alight abrasions and bruises on the face; and neck of the deceased no evidence of violence’ Was discovered, and the biood with which he was surrounded was supposed to have come from a mouth and nose when he fell from the bed. Bu’ two witnesses were examined. Maggie Wil< Hams, the first, testified that she lived close by and that late last night she heard “a row” pro= gressing; saw Sue Morgan coming out, followed 4 ir, Dardis, who had a heavy stick; Sue screame: out that she intended to kill him; both partie: went back into the house. The second witness, an Italian named Bertola, testified that he resided in @ room just in the rear of that occupied by Mr. Dardis; at seven o'clock this morning Sue Morya came to his room and asked him to help her pug Mr. Dardis in bed; he Went in and found Wilhtany Dardis dead on the noor; he then went immediate] for an officer. Itis supposed that it was after Bertola left rq ga oe she took the morphine, intending to kil ersell. THE VERDICT. After hearing the testimony and weighing the: circumstantial evidence in the case the jury of in« quest returned a verdict that William Dardis came | came to his death in the following manuer, td | Wit—from being drugged by some person or per- sons to us unknown. When Sue Morgan recovered she was taken ta the station house, and a warrant was sworn ou! charging her with murder, and this forenoon sb was turned over to the Sheriff and carried to the County Jail. The evidence agaiast her 18 alton gether circumstantial and of a rather weak chars acter, The death seems to have been the resu!tof w big drunken spree, in which both parties engaged. She says that Mr. Dardis must have died early im the night, and that as soon as she woke up in tha morning and found him.on the floor she went to Bertola’s room and asked him to come tn and put Mr. Dardis back in bed, and that when she found. | he was dead she took morphine to kill herself, THE DECBASED, William Dardis wasa native of Ireland, and in the | early part of his manhood served in the British army. He has lived in Memplus for the past twenty-seven years, where he was highly re- spected by the community, For many years past, he has Kept an intelligence ofice, where persons seeking either help or situations were accommo- dated. Before “Ojd Prob.” went into the prophesy~ ing and weather gauging business Mr. Dardie was the weather clerk of Memphis.

A few days ago Mr. William Lake, of Winfield, a subarb of Brooklyn, on visiting his stable found his favorite horse making strange noises, Kicking and trying to bite the horse standing next him and all who approached. He was at once taken to a veterinary surgeon in Bushwick avenue, who at once pronounced it a case of rabies. A dog had been kept in the stable, but he showed no signs of illness, no wound Was found om the horse, and the | only way tn wnich his majady could be explained | Was that Mr. Lake had allowed his horses to ray | ina@flela near the stable, where he might have been bitten by some strange rabid dog. An effort | to drink water brought on ap excess of the p= | toms in the horse; he foamed at the moutn and uttered sounds somewhat resembiing the yelp of a | dog. He would kick, bite, plunge and exhibit all | the appearances of an animal in a@ delirious frenzy | of fear or pain, Finaily in one of these mad spasms yesterday be died—evidently a nuine and of i | course fatal case of equine hydrophobia.
