Last night Sheridan's “School for Scandal” was per- formed at the above theatre, in behalf of the Free Medical College for Women. The play was splendidly mounted and the cast was exceptionally strong. Mrs. -» Bheridan Shook, as Lady Teazle, carried off the honors of the evening. She showed a thorough apprecia- » tien of the part, and acted it with all the tact and wflelicacy which ‘it demands, It is hardly neces- gary to say that she .was frequently and “Gheartily applauded.

When it is remembered that these returne cover a period of fourteen hours, beginning at four o'clock Friday afternoon and ending at six o'clock yesterday morning it will readily be seen that some powerful influence must have been at work with the lawless classes. For the purpose of ascertaining what this influence was a representative of the Hunatp called upon a number of gentlemen yes- tercay afternoon and obtained their views upon the subject, THE POLICE VTEW. Superintendent Walling was first visited. He had no ‘had been so well behaved and trusted jt would continue Drill Captain Copeland was next sought. This gentle- had been. He thought there were at least four good reasons for the condition of the returns at the Tombs Police Court, First of these was the vigilance of the Police force; second, there was nothing to steal; third, the people dida’t want to steal, and fourth, the public ‘was just fresh from reading the account in the evening papers of the hanging of the three negro murderers. ‘The violent death of these culprits, the Captain thought, doubtless had a teadency to awe the bad element, fora time at least, Then, too, the weather was very cold and, while the necessities of the poor and the lawless were greater, their opportunities were greatly reduced, Inspector Dilks remarked to the reporter:—‘ Why, the ple are getting honest !’’ ‘anor pausin @ moment or two he continued with an ominous shake of the head:—‘But 1 guess the ex- ecution of those negroes absorbed the public attention. You see such a thing as that has a tendency to terrify the bad or if it does not actually terrify them it holds them 1m check fora few hours at all events, It gives them something to think about—something to do as it Were—and, a8 ‘The devil always finds some work For idle bands to do. his Satanic Majesty suddeniy found ‘his number of idlers had greatly diminished.” They will all get back into harness: in very soon, and the police returns will look different, You remember—no Fes don't, | either, for you are too young @ man—but I remember | very well ‘THE NIGHT ELLEN JEWETT WAS MURDERED in a bagnio ia Thomas street, between Hudson and what was then Chapel street. It was carly one even- ing in 1841 or 1842. The news spread with wonderful rapidity among the class of people with whom the po- lice have most to do, and during the remainder of the night these people were on their good behavior. It afforded them something to talk about and busy their minds with for a short time.” The genial George Hopcroft, who has been in the Police Department fifteen years, seemea greatly “shocked” when he heard of the condition of the re- turns. “How do you account for it?” asked the HuraLp representative. “Give itup. Ididn’t think the community had be- come so moral Of course, it argues a high state of efficiency on the part of the’ police’’—and George drew down the upper lid of his left eye as the:reporter passed out through the door. THE JOURNALISTIC VIEW. There is a large class of journalists in New York who are known as police reporters, and what these gen- tiemen don’t know about the ‘ways that are dark and Many of them hav fairs is not worth fnding out. | as they are keen observers, they are, perhaps, more | competent to solve the question at issue than any other | class of men, not excepting the police officials, Mr. M. A. Abrahams was the first of these gentlemen | waited upon. When asked his views, he unhesitatingly | replied that this was evidently ove of the tirst fruits of the labors of Messrs. Moody and Sankey. Mr. Abrahams has been a police reporter since 186 Mr. George Taylor being asked his views, said he did | not believe the police had done their duty. The re- t of robberies, he said, showed that more thefts been committed during the last twenty-four hours tban for many days previous. He believed the law classes were as rampant as ever and that many arrests were not made was due to the ineilicieucy of the police | force. | CHAMPION VELOCIPEDE RACE. The velocipede match at the Rink between A. P, Mes- senger and William A. Harding for the championship of America and $500 was finished last evening. They started at nine o'clock on Friday evening and continued a splendid run for twenty miles, Messenger leading. Both men rode continuously until about one o'clock yester- day morning, when Messenger’s velocipede gave way throwing him about ten feet across the floor. By this accident he was obiiged to retire until the | machine was fixed, he, in the meantime suffering severe pain and using restoratives. Harding continued at work until he made up | | o’clock both men again started together, and continued hard at work during the day. About mine P. M.

Yesterday afternoon a number of gentlemen inter- ested in the late proposal of Messrs, Houston, Lawlor and Lapierre, Commissioners of the State of Alabama, met at the office of Messrs. Soutter & Co., bankers, No, 78 Broadway, to hear the report of a committee ap- pointed at a previous meeting. There were present Messrs. William H. Hayes, D. G Hayes, of the Union Bank; G. W.

The | physicians do not wish to hurry the progress of digos- tion on account of his weakness, A physician of high standing, who would not give his name, informed me to-day that from published symp- toms he believed that Mr. O’Conor’s disease was caused by a low typhoid; still not typhoid fever, resulting in ulceration of the mesenteric glands, and that the primal cause was !nattention to eating and drinking at proper times, with exhaustion | from over study, adding that the prognosis was death in a few weeks, perhaps, after the late slight rally. Wheeler H. Peckham called to-day and had an inter- view, but Mr. Sloane said that they did not talk about Tweed or Ring suits. Mr. Belmont, Wilham S. Livingston and Charles A. Peabody called on Mr. O’Conor to-day, Has food was broiled chicken in the afternoon and fruit in the morn- ing, with a httle cold tea. TRANSPORTATION CONVENTION.

First Race. G. W. Stewart’s ch. c. Malmiztic, by Planet, dam “TAMMANY HALL. MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE ON ORGANIZATION. The Tammany Committee on Organization met yes- terday afternoon in the basement of Tammany Halh John Kelly presiding. After some preliminary busi- ‘ness touching the different districts a report was sub- mitted by the Committee on Address, In it the com- mittee set forward the foliowing rules to govern the action of the democratic body of New York in the com- ing Presidential campaign, and in an especial manner in the city canvass. They resolved that as rapid tran. sit seemed to be the recognized desire of the citizens of the metropolis, and as it would in many respects be of advantage to the taxpayers of this county and the peo- ple residing within the city limits, they should en- deavor to promote, so as they were able, the ends of parties proposing such enterprises, They also deter- mined that the democratic party in this city should en- deavor to advocate the claims of rapid transit compa- nies and draw public attention to the necessity of ad- vapeing it as much as possible, Considerable attention was paid to the late address of the President of the United States, and it was re- solved to treat as ill-judged and uncalled for his inter- ference in religious matters and the intention he mani- fests of making his platform in the coming campaign one of sectarian rather than political principles. They decided that the precedent set by the Chief Magistrate of the nation of introducing religious controversy into party discussion could only be productive of iittecling among the people, and would tend to meite a spirit of sectarian bigotry, which some years ago was instrumental in bringing about re- sults disastrous alike to the government and to the public at large. They reprobated in the same manner the attempt to make political capital out of individual bias, and claimed that the latest action of the repub- lican party was one calculated to sow dissension among the people and to thwart the ends of the federal consti- tution. Considerable discussion ensued about phrases and details of the address, which was finally decided by a vote, the matter as it stood being referred for consid- eration to the General Committee at their next meet- ing. Action was next taken touching the approaching primaries and the new committees, which, according to the latest dictum of the organization, are to be almost doubled in some Assembly Districts. Various geutle- men made remarks about the course to be pursued in choosing members, and then the Organization Commit- tee adjourned. TYPHOID AMONG DEAF MUTES. Fort Wasuinotoy, N.

Stachelburg & Co.,-of No, 92 Liberty street, near Church street, The reason of the strike is that the men complain that in the manufactory in question they are paid Jess than employés in other manufactories are paid. For in- | stance, they receive but $19 for making 1,000 Conchas, whereas, it is alleged, all other large manufacturers pay $20 for the same work. They allege, further, that their work is unduly criticised, and that with harsh wrap- pers they are asked to make good, smooth cigars. They Say that among themselves the sobriquet for this manu- factory is “La Trocha.”” FIRE ON EIGHTH AVENUE. * Shortly after nine o’clock last night a fire broke out in the liquor saloon of Thomas Russell, at No, 65 Eighth avenue.
