8 AMONG THE “REVOLVERS.” The Committée on Crime in the Workhouse. vice AND DEPRAVITY. LEVITY, The Committee on Crime, or rather the scattered fragments of it that remain to do its work, went to the ‘Workhouse yesterday to investigate the condition of that huge home of the “drunk and disorderly.” On ‘Thursday the ‘‘commuttee”’ consisted of Mr. Campbell and Mr. Hess, and yesterday it was made up of Messrs, Campbell and McGowan. Mr. Hess also attended late in the afternoon, Commissioner Brennan accom- panied the committee. Joseph Keene, Superintendent of the Workhouse, a small, decrepit old man, was first called, and stated the number of inmates at 1,011. David McDonald, the Deputy Superintendent, took his Place, a smart, bustling red-checked man, who bad had previous experience as a keeper in the Penitentiary. He defined the duties of his office at length. The pris- oners rise at five o’clock; at six there is breakfast, after which they return to their cells, and at ten min- utes to seven the men go to their labor, which con- sists mainly in making repairs, grading, &c.; in other respects the hours correspond with those observed in the Penitentiary. ‘The number of keepers, their hours and duties, ‘was then gone into by Mr. Townsend, who conducted the examination. The Deputy Shperintendent confessed frankly that no efforts whatever were made to separate young and first offenders from old, hardened ones. The young girl who has been sent to the Workhouse for her first offence of drunkenness and disorderly conduct is Jocked up with old criminals who have spent here the greater portion of their lives, This has the effect of bringing them into close contact with hardened otfend- ers, who teach them their vices and train them in de- pravity. The committeemen expressed great astonish- ment at this pernicious negligence on the part of the officials. ‘The Deputy Warden was questioned in regard to the employment of inmates by officials at their private ‘houses on the Island and for domestic purposes. Mr. ‘Townsend observed that he had seen the temales detailed for sach personal service strolling about the Island en- Joying the beautiful view commanded from every point ‘of it Despite Mr. Townsend's persistent questioning Mr. McDonald could not be brought to admit that such free- dom allowed to persons sent to the Workhouse for pun- dshment and not for pleasure was wrong; and he also thought it proper for the officials’ to have ‘their tailoring, &c., done by the convicts. While en- Rect in these pursuits they have naturally much more jiberty than the other offenders detailed to regular rigon work. Mr. McDonald thought that it was per- tly proper to allow the official discretion in granting all these indulgences, ‘Mr. Townsend—What would prevent an official favor- ‘ng a particularly good looking female prisoner ? Mr. McDonald—Nothing at all. (Boldly). Why, I often have stopped a woman of especial youth and beauty when I have seen one scrubbing and sent her to the sewing room. Mr. Townsend—And why did you do that? Mr. McDonald (rather embarrassed)—Well, you ‘know, Mr, Townsend, a great many men—messengers, ‘visitors and others—pass through the hall while these ‘women are engaged in scrubbing, and it’s very natural that young and good looking women will flirt more than ola and ugly ones. Mr. Townsend—And you send*them to the sewing room to avoid trouble? Mr. McDonald—Yes, sir. Although this subject of good looking inmates and their flirtations with visitors seemed a very inviting one, the committee, with stoical sacrifice to duty, passed 1 over at this point. In regard to the mingling of young and old offenders in the male prison a shock- ing state of things was developed, Boys of ten years, who are commitied for exposure in swimming, break> ing windows, &c., are locked up in the same cell with old confirmed drunkards. It has often been noticed that prisoners sent to the Island for several months reappear again in a few days ‘on the streets of New York. This mystery was par- tially explained yesterday by the testimony of the Deputy Warden, which showed that no less than 346 prisoners have “eloped”—this ts the term used in the record—from this easy place. It appeared that the Prisoners are perfectly free to escape, as the keepers ‘ere not allowed to carry firearms, and if they were to each the water there is no stopping them. Mr. McDonald said the inmates all knew that the keepers carried no firearms, and that if they could only run more quickly they could readily escape. Mr. Townsend remarked that many of these men | were allowed to escape by the keepers, but did not pur- gue this phase of the case. Dr. Thomas Alien, the physician of the Workhouse, agreed with Dr. Kitchen that the usual term of confine: ment for drunkenness (ten days) was far too short to correct the morbid desire for liquor, If the term was one month it would be tar better. Father Chanbon, the Catholic priest on the island, vexpressed himeelf strongly aguinst the commingling ‘of young and old offenders) When asked to make any Suggestions as (o the improvement of the institu- tion he said he would lke to have the power to hold ‘bad Catholics up to their religious duties, and to inflict ‘slight punishment upon those derelict in the digcbarge of those obligations, " Wilham Doming, a young Arab of fourteen, a boot- (lack, who spoke up very brightly, was committed by Justice Otverbourg to this home of old drunkards’ for peat, bt boy in the nose, Here he is trained to vi ‘while he ought to have been sent to the House of ‘Refuge or some other reformatory. Kate Wilson, a very strong, hardy woman, who fe- quested her committal white out of work, told ber story with no concern. She said she had been ‘“‘drink- 4ng a little,” and agked to be committed for a month. Father Chanbon returned and said he desired to state another great evil, which was that the sexes were not separated sufficiently. _ The committee adjourned at five o'clock, and will @nvestigate the management of the Tombs on Monday ‘at eleven o'clock. POLICE DEPARTMENT. ‘MEETING OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS— LOOKING AFTER TRUANTS FROM SCHOOL, LIQUOR DEALERS AND CANDIDATES FOR PRO- MOTION. ‘The full Board of Police met yesterday, Commissioner Matsell in the chair.

The elevator used to lift the horse cars up the hill west of Hoboken has given way slightly during ‘a few weeks past. Men are at work endeavoring to repair the damage. The investigation of the frauds in the Board of Edu- cation of Jersey City willbe resumed this evening. It was rumored yesterday that three members of the Board were indicted by the Grand Jury.

Four witnesses were examined, and’ it was } proved that Lawson was not seen by any person on the moving train. The inquest was adjourned, THE EPIZOOTY IN JERSEY. The distemper or disease similar to the epizooty of a couple of years ago which has recently broken out | among the horses in Jersey is gradually disappearing, | Anumber of the horses in the Newark Fire Depart | ment are afflicted with the cough, or horse catarrh, but are only in one or two cases seriously affected, and none are yet so bad that théy are unable to work. The horses | of the hvery stables are generally affected, but only | slightly, so that they work all the time and are not in | jured by it, The horses of the Orange and Newark Horse Car Company, both in the Broad street stables and in Orange, are suffering from slight attacks of the catarrh, A number of private persons in Newark re- ort things so bad, however, that they have had to aul the horses off labor. In Elizabeth, too, the horses | have been affected, but are much improved at last ac- | counts. A CONFESSED RASCAL, Last Jaly William Lange and Oscar Kolthoff were | arrested in Newark, charged with incendiariem. | Lange, as was previously mentioned, sald that his assertion that he set fire to the house at the request of Kolthoff, who was to pay him $500 for so doing, was untrue, Now he comes forward and makes an affidavit stating that Howard Ledrard, keeper of the Howard House, on Frelinghuysen avenue, told him to say | that he had set the house on fire, as he might make omething by it He also says that Edward Cal- lery, an ex-policeman, told him to say that he hi set fre to the house and that Kolthof agreed to give him $500 for so doing.

Dick Croker | Croker was four lengths in front of Cora, in 1:1634; | $400, beaten maidens allowed, if four years old or less, him he would get $100 for making this statement Lange leo says that after ho was arrested and sent to | jail Callery visited him and told him he mast not “go back” on what he had said, for if he did he would go below (meaning to State Prison), but that if be stuck to his story he would get $2 per day for each day he was | in jail, ‘Lange adds that he did not fire the house and | that the siatemen} that Kolthof hired him to do so is | | false, He also says that he would not have made {he statement had he not been drinking, The cave of this | coufessed scoundrel will co before the Grand Jury. TROTTING AT FLEETWOOD PARK, LAST DAY OP THE FIRST FALL MEETING-—DICK CROKER THE WINNER, The attendance at Fleetwood Park yesterday after- noon was very small and the sport rather meagre. But one trot came off, which was between horses that had never beaten 2:50. Five came to the post. These were John Murphy’s black gelding Dick Croker, J. Somerindyke’s chestuut mare Melissa, J. H. Phillips’ Day mare Cora, P. Manee’s chestnut gelding Red Cloud and Mr. Rand's brown gelding Hope. Dick Croker ,Wis 4 great favorite over the field, selling in the pools before the race began at 100 to 20. With Croker out Cora was the favorite over the others at about 2to 1. Dick Croker won the race in three straight heats, While scoring for the third heat Mr. Somerindyke’s sulky was overturned and he dragged for several minutes on the track, very close to the heels of the mare. He held on to the reins until a gentleman came to the rescue and took the mare by the head, A cowardly policeman, who was close by, caltnly looked on while Mr, Somerindyke was in the greatest peril and never offered to catch the mare as she made short turns on the track with Mr. Somerin- 4 dyke’s head nearly under her heels. The policeman, when asked why he did not make an effort to take hold of the mare, said ‘the didn’t want to get hurt.” The captain of the police of that district shouid look after this officer, and send him in future to places where there will be no danger of his meeting with any acci- dents. Fortunately neither Mr. Somerindyke nor his mare were injured by the accident, and after getting a new sulky he drove the mare again and won second money. The following are the detail of the trotting: — THE TROT.

BOGARDUS CHALLENGED, New Yorn, Sept. 30, 1875, To tHe Emtor or tre Hernan :— In the November, 1871, issue of the American Sports- ‘man, appeared the following challenge from Captain A. H. Bogardus:— Exenant, 1,, Oct. 5, 1871. I hereby challenge any man in America to shoot two weeks in the feld during the month of November or Decem- ber, and the party acceptin hallenge to choove the kind of game to be hunted. muy Parker gun No. 12, with one onnee of shot, and the other party to mse the n that suits him best, The conditions are from $500 to $1,000 a aide, ench part to trish a judge and companion for the other to see fair play. The party killing the most game to take all the stake money and the game of the other party, or the proceeds thereof. Captain A. H. BOGARDUS, Being urged by many friends to accept this challenge I did so torchwith, naming deer as the game, and Texas as the fleld, and my acceptance was published in nearly all the Texas journals, as well as in many other news- papers, and x marked co py of the Tyler (Texas) Reporter containing the same was forwarded to the address of Mr. Bogardus in Elkhart, Til After the lapse of about three months I wrote @ letter to the 7urf, Field and Farm, reciting the fact of my acceptance of hig chal- lenge, and asking why no reply had been received from him. This brought Mr. Bogardus into print, bat bis reply had no bearing on the challonge proper. It ex- pressed his willingness to shoot prairie chickens in Ilinols, Lowa, or Minnesota, but retrained from. allad- | ing to the challenge wherein his opponent had the | privilege of choosing the game, I thereupon let the matter drop. New York, Oct. 1, 1875. To tne Eprror or Tae Heraup:— The fact is now almost universally recognized that rowing is rapidly becoming the national pastime of our young men. Any question, therefore, affecting the general interests of our‘amateur oarsmen cannot bo deemed unworthy of attention, Those who attain proficiency in the use of the oar are usually desirous to test their skill and strength against others supposed to be equally proficient, and hence arigo the nymerous regattas and match races held during each rowing season. The successful aspirants to the highest aquatic honors are looked up to with admir- ation by the youth of the country, and the names of the clubs and colleges they represent are familiar as household words. It follows, as a natural consequence, that tho example set by our most prominent and successfal clubs in all matters appertaining to rowing contests is likely to have great influence in deciding the future status of amateur row- ing, and is, therefore, fairly subject to criticism by all who are more interested in the progress and develop- ment of this sport generally than in the fortunes of any particular club, ‘The rules or laws which govern athletic contests are founded on certain fixed principles, the strict. observ- ance of which is absolutely necessary to attract and secure the approval and support of the most intelligent classes in the community; while, on the other hand, their violation has invariably resulted in bringing not only the immediate offenders, but the sport itself into disrepute. The most essential of these principles are mutual courtesy and good feelmg between the contest- ants, modest acceptance of the applause and laurels of victory, prompt and graceful acknowl- edgment of honorable defeat, and, above all things, special courtesy on the part of the victors towar ose who have struggled in vain to seoure the coveted* distinction. Contests based upon the observance of these principles are an honor to our ic men, win- ning for them the respect and goodwill of the general public, and render their regattas and other aquatic re- unions occasions of a very enjoyable nature, It is, therefore, with groat regret I have observed the ob- Jectionable course pursued by one of the most noted of our local rowing olubs during the past few weeks. I refer to the Atalanta Boat Club, once the pride of New York oarsmen. The brilliant victories achieved by their new racing crew at Saratoga and Troy had more than regained for this club the prestige lost in previous years, but immedi- ately after they had won their second vic- tory they challenged the Argonauta crew (which had just been defeated for a second time within a week) to @ match race on the coarse of the latter, regardless of the fact that the Argonautas appeared t0 be totally un- prepared to meet them on equal terms. The only justi- fication of this action which they offered was the technical plea that their club had suffered a defeat from the Argonauta crew over a year before and they had now tie right to their revenge. A challongo issued at euch a time and under such circumstances was a griev- | ous error, for jt was in direct opposition to the teeing of generosity and consideration which the vietor should always show to the vanquished, and especially so in this instance, as the latter openly acknowledged their defeats with becoming frank A Jew days ago my attention was cailed to a paragraph In one Week from ihe date of the challenge tho race ! —TRIPLE SHEEY. took place. The Arganauta crow appear to have pre- pared themselves in the short interval which had elapsed with the utmost possible care, and the result was the defeat of the Atalantas, who were outpaced from start to finish, Smarting under the ene ment of this unexpected blow, and evidently still under the influence of the injudicious counsels which pre- vailed at Troy, they have again challenged their now victorious rivals, A copy of this challenge, signed by the captain of the Atalanta Boat Club, appeared in one of yesterday’s papers, and I feel constrained to say it is not creditable to its author, Orthographical and gram- qatical errors may be excusable in such a document, but the discourteous terms in which it is written aro entirely Jnexcusable, It reads more like the ‘dé’ of a ‘ize fighter than the polite and’ cour- teous challenge of gentlemen to @ peaceful trial of skill. The precedents thus set by the Atalanta Club —first, in challenging a defeated crew in the moment of victory; second, in refusing to acknowledge honorable defeat; and, thirdly, in conducting their correspondence with a ri club in an acrimonious manner, are sub- versive of the best interests of amateur rowing, and would, if established and followed, insure its certain and speedy decadence. I #incerely ‘hope that the Ata- Janta Boat Club will endeavor to reinstate themselves in public favor by avoiding in the future a repetition of ape kdaare bpp arith Lara Our citizens will en gladly con, ulate: m in victory and thize with them io defeat ig cialis “He that ruleth his spirit is greater than he that keth a city.” AMATEUR. ATHLETIC SPORTS. ANNUAL PALL GAMES OF THE NEW YORK ATH- ‘The annual fall games of this prominent athletic club ‘will be held on Monday next. The programme of sport is of the most interesting nature, and will delight the thousands who are sure to be present, Many important alterations have been made to the grounds in Mott Haven. The track is now an exact one-fifth of a mile circuft, and a ladies? stand has been constructed capable of accommodating a thousand visitors, The keeper of the track has also been furnished with a commodious dwelling house, 1m which are dressing rooms for 100 contestants, The energy and devotedness displayed by this club toward the furtherance of these sports de- serve, as they will receive, hearty support from the general public. The entries to the important features of Monday next, as under, will be found to contain the names of some of the best performers in the Jand:— ONE HUNDRED YARDS RUN. Names. Laurence Martin .

B, Curtis, THE FALLEN SAFE ACCIDENT: James McDonald, who was injured on Thursday by the falling of » safe at No. 177 Broadway, proves not ‘to have been so seriously injured as at first reported, and there ts every probability of his recovery. Upon inquiry at the office of the safe company, it appears that the accident was the result of a lurching of the supporting beam. The injured man has been for tho past fifteen years in the employ of the company in tho same capacity of carting and hoisting, and was in the habit of selecting his own materials, CONDITION OF PROFESSOR GAR- LAND. Professor Garland, of New Brunswick, W. J., who recently attempted to kill his wife, and afterward made a bold effort to commit suicide, is in a fair way of re- covering from his injuries. Within the past few days he has beon able to talk with his friends in reference to his business affairs. Mrs. Garland has made a formal complaint against him before the Court of Oyer and Terminer, now in session at New Brunswick, and, as aconsequence, Judge Scudder has appointed officers to remain with the Professor until he is able to be re- moved to the County Jail, or furnish bail in the sum of ee, for his appearance at the next term of court, je is kept in complete ignorance of these steps to bring him to justice. A day or two ago his son had an affecting interview with him. Mrs, Garland is 80 far recovered that she and her son are making arrangements for the reopening of her music store, She is entirely out of danger, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. MARRIED.
