CORONER CRORER'S REQUEST. At this time Coroner Croker interrupted the wit with the following remark: 1 hope the press wi take this testimony in full attacked by one of the daily papers. 1 wish further to state that I have been accused of forcing Mr. Young to act as juryman, It will be seen that this is false, It is a daty to the public that Uhis testimony should be given in full? Mr. Young continued:—I went there and identified the body in the water as being that of my wife; this was between the hours of tive and six o’clock ; | asked the officer to turn the body over so that I could see the face and he did so, and 1 RECOGNIZED MY WIPS; Tasked him if the Coroner was notified and he said yes; L wanted to know if the body coula be brought ‘Out on the dock; he gaid no one could pat # band on her watil the Coroner arrived, I waited and waited pa- uiently on the pier, but no ambulance came; 1 went to the New street station house and asked the officer at the desk if he knew that there was a dead body at pier 16; he looked over the book and at last found the uneasy; returned my friends ne to uo back to New York and inquire at e ferry and was drowned at the in entry; I asked nim if he had notified the Corover and | be said UR HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT; 1 was to go to the Harbor Police; | went to the oficer in charge of the body, and he told me to go to the but he did not tell me where the Coroner could be found; atier eat t apd 1 left to go home to iny children; the next morning t came back to New York my wife’s body was still in the rly what to do, some one on the street told me.where the Coroner's office was, and [ started for tt; arrived at the Coroner’s office some me after eight o'clock; I found an old woman cleaning out the office; I wrote a note and leftiton the desk in the office, and again went back to the pier where my wife's body’ was; at about eleven o'clock the dead wagon caine, and’ my wite wus removed to the Morgue; I had hired a man with a wagon tomove my wife home, but the driver of the dead wagon hada permit to move | the remains to he Morgue only, and I yot into the wagon | had re, and went to the Coroner's office again to sce the Coroner, but | lound he had gone, and aman from the otlice got into the wagon with me and drove to No, 247 Third street, where 1 found the Coroner; the man from the Coroner’s office went up- stairs, and I remained on the sidewalk; the messenger came down ana told me that 1 OULD NOT GET THE BODY until ten o'clock the next morning; I was not satisfied with hts story and I went up stairs mysell{; wheu 1 got there was a crowd in there and I saw a ; L saw that an inquest was going on; I stood in the crowd and with others was summoned to acton the jury; | had not spoken to the Coroner at this time, and did not speak to the Coroner at all until after this inquest wus Onished anal bad signed my uame to the paper; I aid not know the Coroner, but he was pointed out to me bya by-stander; after this Inquest was all over I called the Coroner aside and stated my case to him and he came outside; 1 asked he could not doit, but that if I wonld be atthe Morgue at ten o'clock inthe morning he would give me a certinche und to have my undertaker there and no y would occur im removing the remains of my wile, and I went away perfectly satisied; the uext morning 1 was at the Morgue and got the certificate as promised; the statement in the paper that 1 was jorcod to go and serve on the jury in Third street is not true, and I wish to have it contradicied; my wife ‘Was a sober, temperate woman; 1 do not know any- thing about the circumstances attending my wife’ death, but 1 am of opinion my wife slipped and fell off | the Wall street terry side. At the close of the testimony Coroner Croker ad- dressed a few remarks to the jury on the points in the case, after which, at a little after five o'clock, they re- tired. After an absence of about twenty-five minutes the jury returned with the following verdict, which was read by the foreman : THE VERDICT. We, the jury called to investigate the case of the death of Rose Young, find that she came to her death by accidental drowning. And the jury further tind | that, from the evidence presented, the telegraph de- partment at Police Headquarters is loosely managed ; that too much 18 left to subordinates, and ‘they would recommend a more strict provision by those in au- We also earnestly recommend that officers be more thoroughly and explicitly instrucjed in their rights apd duties in regard to the removal of those © d, in order to prevent the possibility of any — tonnd da such occurrence again, inasmuch as the officers in charge were evidently honest in their belief that they | had no right to move the body without instructions from the Coroner. It appears that those instructions were properly ee ey sent, but the delay vc- curred through carelessness in the telegraphic depart- ment of Police Headquarters. THE PRACTICE OF THE POLICE. As there seems to De a difference in opinion among | police officials as to the action expected of them in reference to the care of the remains of persons found dead reporters of the Heraup yesterday called upon the officers in charge of the various police stations below Fortieth street and other police authorities and questioned them ag to the ctstomary action im such | cases, In some preciuets the officers promptly remove the dead to the station house and the Morgue without ‘waiting jor a t‘permit’’ trom the Coroner, This, how- ever, is only done in cases where the cause of death is | clear and no foul play is indicated, In other precincts the officers surround the proceedings with so much red tape formality that the removal of the dead from places where they are exposed to the public gaze and to injurious action Irom the elements and otherwise is delayed beyond ail reasonable time. CHIRP CLERK HAWLEY INDIGNANT. Mr. Seth C. Hawley, the veteran cutei clerk of the Police Board, who drafted the rules governing the force, after a critical examination of the laws, denounced the action of the police in reterence to the body of Mrs, Young as infamous. The rale governing this particu: Jar case of accidental drowning 18 as jollows : Rue 623,—Whenever th yark, pier, public or other piace in the ‘city of New York, by, OF comes to the Hotice or observation of, any amember of the force, such body shall be immediately conveyed by the police to and deposited at the Morgue. | Notice thereof shal be given without delay at the Coroner’s office, and a report of the circumstances of the case made to the Superintendent, Every ollicer turned out of the School of instruction is presumed to understand tbis rule fully. 1n no case of death trom accident, Mr, Hawley deciures, is it neves- sary to deiay the removal of the body to the Morgue. It is clearly the duty of every policeman im cases of unknown persons accidenially dying to remove the body to the Morgue at once by tho fastest vehicle that | can be hired, its clearly a viviation of the rules to send it by a “dead wagon.”? Tue Volice Department — pay ail proper expenses, and this is one of them. Tho olitication to the Coroner is a subsequent duty to be periormed. In cases of accidental death where the body 18 claimed by fricnds the police are expected to turn it over at once to the friends and notify the Coro- ner of such action. There is no law that prevents relatives or friends taking the body, wherever tound, and without the permigsion of the Coroner, if it is 4 case of accidental death, Even in cases of murder or supposed lou! piay, the police should re- move the body at once to the Morgue, notitying the ubsequentiy of such proceeding, but they plain the cause of death. In the particular case that occurred at Pier 16 East River, the nusband would havo deen jusutied in calling to his aid # force of citizens and resctiing the remains [rom the policeman having it in chary “Had it been my wile or child,” said the Chiet Clerk, “1 would lave had the body or there would have been a serious fight, and the policeman who dared to prevent its removal would be guffty of a grievous wrong.” When such assertions are made by a gontioman of Mr. Hawley’s lamimarity with law and the rules under which the police act, 1t must be cioar to every- body that the eflort made by other police olticials to shielt the brutal policeman are disgracetul, and every one at all umpiicated should be prompuy dismissed from the force. NOW THE RULE 18 CNPRUSTOOD. Inspector McDermott said the police were obliged in such cases to govern themselves more by ihe law of humanity than by the sectivn of an old statute which is supposed to forvid anybody, even fur decency’s eake, to touch of remove alt exposed dead body betore it has been viewed by the Coroner, ytan Irving, in cominand of whose officers seense’ he police steamer tho body tn the ri r, secmed inclined vo tay the fauit of the disgracetul de- | lay 1m removing the corpse upon the officers of the First prectuct, saying that his foree have no telegraphic apparatus with which they could commanicate with nw Central Office, Sergeant Bisir, who during Captain Petty's iliness — has command ty the First preeimet, thought the re- sponsibility lay with the harbor police, and that had his offieers removed lable to censure by the Commissioners, as improperly interfering. Iu most of the other precincts the chief officers sta- ted that they considered their action im such cases clearly mujented to rule 623, and that they promptly removed all dead bodies ound in the rivers or in streets, balls, or other public places, either to the police ‘station of to the Morgue. A few, and those olably 1m the precincts adjoimug the water, stated it their uniform rule to allow no removal of or inte: Jerence with a dead body wotil the receipt of a coroner's permit. Some bave allowed Saeenen be lifted from the water anu deposited tor safety on the wharf, Ono old sergeant narrated bis experience some * ery ago when he wasa patrolman, watching through » bleak December night over the body of woman which had been placed on a fist box, where he bad to fight with desperation to protect the corpse trom the atiack of hordes of bungry rats. A very large majority of the captains and sergeants who were seen thought there was not the slightest ne- cessity to wait upon the dilatory action of a coroner before properly caring tor the remains of a dead person.

Ho was never traived, but as a sire of trotters be stood far above all competitors in this or apy past generation, At four years old he was exhib- | fted at the American Tustitute Fair, then held on Third | auenne, at Harton square, whore ho received third | premium, Dr. Ruch’s Jupiter taking frst and the Way | stallion Norman taking the second premium. | tonian was then at the stud, having been put there be- that he produced was Fillingham, afterward called George Wilkes, which gave him great notoriety; but Dexter (the king of trotters) following soon | aferward gave Hambletonian such renown that mares from all sections of the countre | were sent to him, and the demands for bis | services increased at such a rate that his owner, Mr. | Bysdyk, raised his price service from $100 to $500, | which rate contioued to the timo of his death, During | | his career at the stud Hambietonian had 1,843 mares | and produced about 1,300 foals. The horse was said to | have been possessed of considerable speed; but, like | his stro, Abdallan, he never showed it in public, There | was a story current some years ago that being on Long | island, in bis four-year-old form, he was taken on the Union course, and there, ina private trial, trotted a mile | very low in the forties. But whether he could trot fastor not mates little diflerence. He produced at Jeast 100 sons and daughters that could trot fast, filty of his sons being now in tho stud, getting trowters every State inthe Union. Within 100 miles of this ! city he Jeaves behind bim such ‘good ones as Edward Everett, Volunteer, Messenger Duroc, Happy Meaium, Aberdeen, Socrates, Jay Gould, Boiton, Electioneer, Florida, Middietown aud a dozen otbers, that aro iin- roving the breed of the trotting horse and increasing their usefulness and value, The old horse died yesterday morning between mid- | might and daylight at the Rysdyk estate at Chester, | and as it was the wish of his iate owner, Mr. Rysdyk, that the horse should be buried on the estate, a grave ‘was dug for him yesterday afternoon behind the barn | where ho lived so long, A large box was made for lis ody, anil be will be buried to-day. An offer of $1,000 was ™: the speculative genius no doubt wishing probably to exhibit 1t around the country, The following was the exact measurement of Ham- | bletonian :—His knee was 134; inches in circumference, hock 1734 inches, 15 inches around the smallest part of the limb and back tendon above the hock, From the center of the hip joint to the point of the nock 41 inches; from tho point of stifle to point of hock, the | | i tre of ankle joint, 16 inchs from centre of tore ankle to centre of Knee, 1144 inches; from centre of kneeo to | top of forearm joint, 205s inches.

His neck was not thick or heavy, the withers flat and low, he being higher on the rump than on the withers; but the most notable feature of the shoulders was the compact mass of bone, tendon and muscles so closely knit together as to appear as one, and undistinguishable the oue from the other, His shoulder blades seemed to rise to the top of the withers, bu! so closely and firmly was the whole mass | united as to give him great compactness and strength, | His tail was set on ‘very high and the whirlbone and | buttock stood high and projected backwards very prom- | fnently.

MOODY AND SANKEY. | There were but two meetings at the Hippodrome yes- terday, At the noon meeting there were 6,000 persons present, and Mr, Moody preached on the text of the Publican and the Pharisee. There were in the audi- ence, said Mr. Moody, two kinds of people, Pubiicans | and Pharisees, The Publican cried out, jod, be merciful to me, a sinner,” and the Pharisee said, “L have gt all that was necessary to the Lord, | and | am awaiting my recompense.”’ Kut there is an- other text which says:—“He that exalteth himscif be exalted,” sees uf the Mr. Moody spoke at length on the Phari- present time—the men who give money ‘ their names may be Dinzoned in the newspapers; the men” who jndorse all sorts of charities that their names intght go | far and wide. But the poor Puolican that said “G i be merciful to mo, a sinner,” was better than all of 20, At the evening meeting, at which Mr, Sankey pre- sided, there were about 7,000 people present, . Dr. Floyd preached on the “Enormity of Sin.” and made such an effective discourse tbat the inquiry rooms were filled as they never wero filled belore, Mr. Moody held a meeting for young convert: sociation Hall in the evening. CONFERENCES, at As- MINISTERS’ MODIFICATIONS IN METHODIST REVIVALS— “ALTAR” WORK 4 FAILURR—THE POWERS OF CHURCH TRUSTEES, Yesterday morning the Rev, B. M. Adams, D. D., of | Brooklyn, gave his brethren a common sense talk on the modifications needed in revival work. The ques- | tion itself was admitted to be a very practical one, | especially in view of the fact that the Methodist | Church throughout the land js, as Dr. Adams de- | clared, inthe midst of the most powerful revival ever known in its history, In Newburg Hudson, Sing | Sing, Port Jervis and other places in this State nothing hike the present revivals has ever been known. This fact is largely due to the adaptation of Methodism to the average mind. Its itineraucy is peculiarly suited to the roving and changing disposition of the Ameri- can people. Methodism 18 a fast travelling machine, | und, like all fast travellers, it consumes a great deal of | | fuel It ts very expensive, but he bvelivved it ts the | Lord’s agency for the conversion of the world. Many | of its peculiar methods are peculiar no longer, because | they have been adopted by other churches, ‘There are mauy persons in the Methodist Church who ought to be tn some other church, | IT TRAVRLS TOO PAST | for them, and they ought to be im a slower conveyance. | In its relations to men as social beings it is pro emt- | nently fitted tor reaching the masses, A stiff Methodist rayer movting is such an anomaly that it had better | be placed where other stiff things are pui—in the raveyard, and be buried out of sight, There should | be mall the social services of the Ciiurch tree sope | | for demonstrations, and thought the Hippodrome | revivalists wero missing a great point in repressing such demonstrations of approval as Ameu! Halelujah t | &c, Tae Methodist Church ts also getting too respect- | able, and such demonstrations are becoming more and | more scarce 1m all its societies and congregations, They aro too much afraid that the worid will think them | crazy. The Methodist was intended to be a revival Church, and when it ceases to be such it has no sight in tie world. When it fails in this it fails in its mis- sion, ‘The preaching of the Methodist pulpit needs | modification, Itistoo high, too intellectual .or the | average mind, and the ministry is in danger of missing | that simplicity of the Gospel and of old-fashioned | Methodism. ‘The greatest man shows his greatness by bis simplicity. Preaching that is altogether | aimed at men’s intollects fails to lead to the highest | forms of Christian life and experience, Ninety-nine- hundredths of men are moved by the emotions and | allections rather than the intellect, The Methodist Church lacks to-day what it useato bave when he Hamble- | shall be humbled, and he that humbleth himself shall | | | the fane | since he was two years old:— Adams} u ), was a boy—real eloquence, He bas heard pic~ Year, aon aaa w ae Foals. | (ites and passages trom Samuel Merwin, Mailitt Raa Ps ¥ 7g _ others that he would wade through ten miles of mad to iol 13 hear again, But the i: " YREACHING OF TO-DAY NERDS MOKE NIBLE 0 2 init, It has plenty of-science and philosophy, but too rd & 64 | jie Bible, If more of the Bible moralities had been | 3 3 preached we should not have so many swindlers going | i 4 Out of the Methodist Church.
